For three rounds Lowe thrilled the crowd, but in the last three he took an awful beating, “all for the kiddies.” At midnight a bruised and battered Santa Claus raced to the postoffice with a registered letter. Santa Claus will be two days late bringing his bounty to the Lowe children, but he will get there as soon as Uncle Sam can de- liver the envelope. Woman Mayor Forces Resignations.

SPRINGFIEED, O., Dec. 2%.—Stirred by recollections of a boyhood spent un- der unusually hard conditions in an un- promising part’of Indiana, where his parents were able to eke out but a bare living, a boyhood that brought an in- tense longing *for toys which other children had but which, of necessity, were denied him, John W. Bookwalter, a Springfield multimillionaire, although nearly four thousand miles away, in Geneva, Switzerland, played Santa Claus for Springfield's poor, including sev- eral hundred children. In sending his check for $12,000 for the poor of the city for a happy Christmas, Book walter stipulated that a large share of the sum should be spent in the pur- chase of toys for children who would not be likely otherwise to get them. Nearly three thousand poor people of Springfield will enjoy their Christ- mas dinners through the bounty of Bookwalter. Bookwalter, who ranks as the largest cereal farmer in the United States, will give a Christmas dinner in Geneva at which several celebrities will be pres- ent. Boulder Causes Fatal Wreck.

Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and presidential possibility, was a visitor to the festival at the Coliseum, arriving just before noon. Few of the children knew who the gray-haired man with the soft black hat was, but the Speaker showed just as real enjoyment of the affair as if all the enthusiasm had been for him, instead of being for Santa Claus. “This,” said Speaker Clark to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “is the greatest demonstration of Christmas hospitality I ever saw.’ At the Coliseum, the climax came when, with the hour hand of the clock drawing toward noon, Santa Claus madg his appearance. And never before did the great saint of Christmas appear in @ more novel way. Weather Bird Starts Program, Everyone knew it was going to happen at about that time, but very few noticed the plain little stand up in_ the northeast corner of the gallery. The children who happened to sit nearest to the stand gave the alarm; when, at 11:40, the Post-Dispatch Weather Bird, bigger than an eagle, flapped its wings and flew, or seemed to fly, down the narrow aisle which led to the little stand. An instant later, the bird was perched on the stand. As the children’s cries of pleasure rose to a babel of shouts, the bird sailed down, in as straight a line as if he had teen guided by the big wire cable just above }im, and landed on the roof of Santa _laus’ house, at the other end of the Coliseum, almost a city block away. Just after the weather bird had alighted on the roof, and had given a message that*no one could hear for the shouting of the children, Santa Claus, in bright new red suit, ap- peared through the chimney. And such a roar of welcome as those children gave him! The message that the weather bird gave to Santa Claus was: “Dear Santa Claus: “We wish you a merry Christma,. Come again. Come every day tf yeu can. “CHILDREN OF ST. LOUIS.” ‘ Clana Promises Gifts. Santa Claus stayed as long as he could, and told the children where they would get the toys he had brought them, after they had din- ner. Then he disappeared in his snow-covered house, and a few min- utes later the bugle blew. Nobody had to be told what the bugil was for. Everybody knew it meant the big event of the day, the dinner for which two and one-third tons of tur- key; the cranberry sauce to go with It, happiness Monday at the Colisuem to shout 10,000 children®t adults.

RUSSIA MASSACRES WOMEN, PERSIAN GOVERNOR STATES | Children Also Are Victims of Cossacks, He Declares in Telegram. IS DISSOLVED | Troops of Czar, Still Advancing; Report Loss of 150 Men. By Associated Press. TEHERAN, Dec. 3.—A telegram from the Governor of Tabriz gives an appall- ing picture of the situation in that city as a result of Russian aggression. He says: | “IT swear before God that women and children are being butchered in cold blood.”’ The Vice-Governor estimates the num- ber of Persians killed in Tabriz as 300, and adds: “The Russians ignore- our overtures for the cessation of hostilities.’’ Telegraphic -communication between Teheran and Tabriz is now interrupted. The British and Russian legations are without means of communication with their consuls. The Regent, Nazir El Mulk, acting in agreement .with the Cabinet, declared the National Council dissolved. The War Minister sent troops to prevent the deputies from. entering the Parliament building. The Persian Government has unconditionally accepted the Russian ul- timatum, Russia having previously agreed to a slight modification of one of the demands. The Russian Minister has signified his acceptance of the Persian reply. innocent ————— RUSSIANS LOSE 150 IN BATTLES Advance of Czar’s Army Con- tinues Despite Sur- render.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 25.—Accord- ing to reports from Teheran, the Rus- sian permanent detachment, camping outside Tabriz, consisting of 600 men, has made a tactical maneuver and oc- cupied a position at Basmendje, on the \Kasbin road. The Russian casualties iri the recent fighting at Tabriz num- bered 150. ‘There is no communication between this detachment and a second detach- ment, composed of a handful of sol- diers, which defends the Russian Con- sulate, within the town. The Russian residents of Tabriz have taken refuge in the consulate, the roof of which is protected by sacks of earth. The de- fenders are in the best of spirits and the wounded are convalescing. The Consul-General has given orders not to reply to the sporadic shots from the Persian Fidas, who are entrenched at the citadel. Advices from Tabriz say the Russian troops have been forced to abandon the Russo-Persian Bank, which is situated in the principal bazar and which they have hitherto been protecting. There is about $150,000 in specie in the bank, which is now entirely without a guard. A dispatch received tonight at the Petersburg office of the Enzeli- Tabriz road says that employes of. the road have succeeded in penetrating the Et, 5 camp of the Russian detachment, send- ins back a report that the casualties among the Russians were great. Conditions at Resht and Ehzeli have quieted. Two Russians and 10 Persians have been killed at Resht, including Gov. Zagirdle’s son, a well-known revo- lutionist. Col. Knigge, commander of the Rus- sian detachment at Kasbin, has sent a telegram to Teheran that his detach- ment was ready to resume its advance oh Teheran and would arrive at the capitol in six forced day marches. The Russian reinforcements marching from Djulfa to Tabriz have covered about fifteen miles of the 100 miles separating .the two places. It is ex- pected that greater speed will be made from this on.

@une POLICEMAN RUINS UHRISTMAS VEST IN A POKER RAID Cra\‘is Down Stairs in Fawn Colored Gift From Wife and Arrests Five Players.

Special Policeman Murphy’s wife gave him a fawn-colored vest as a Christmas gift. It isn’t fawn-colored now. Murphy wore the vest when he raided a poker game in the basement of a soda foun- tain factory at 2940 Franklin avenue, Sunday. After he and Special Policemen Doyle, Womack and Dalton had “spotted” sthe game by peeping through a window, Murphy entered the factory. In order to reach a winding stairway leading to the basement, he had to crawl on his stomach under shelves which apparent- ly had been put there to conceal the stairway. When Murphy slid down the ban-; ister into the basement the poker players greeted him as Santa Claus and asked him where he got the black velvet vest. “Yes, I'm Santa Claus, all right,” said Murphy, “and I’m going °to take you all over to the station as a Christmas gift for Capt. Hess.” The men arrested gave their names and addresses as Duncan Thompson, 5951 Cote Brilliante avenue; James ‘Suttle, 2317 Ann avenue; Robert Sax- ton, 5704 Kensington avenue; George Welsh, 3647 Folsom avenue, and Hen- ry Shy, 3617 Easton avenue.

Kimmel, the Arkansas City, Kan., bank cashier who dropped out of sight at Kansas City 13 years ago, will be shifted to Niles, Mich., week, where depositions will be taken by the New York Life Insurance Co., in an ef- fort to prove that Andrew J. White, an ex-convict with a long prison record in New York, is Kimmel. The insurance company is making a hard fight to find flaws in the remark- able story told by John Bowne Swinney of New Mexico in his deposition in At- torney F. H. Bacon's office last weex. Swinney swore than he saw a man jynamed J. A. Johnson shoot and kill ‘Kimmel near Coos Bay, Ore., and that fhe in turn shot and killed Johnson. Swinney declared that he and the late R. M. Snyder buried the bodies of Kim- mel and Johnson in a single srave in the Oregon forests. Dentes He’s Johnson. J. C. Jackson, who is serving a 10- year term jn the Jefferson City peni- tentiary upen a plea of guilty to train robbery, told a Post-Dispatch corre- spondent at Jefferson City Monday that the theory offered that he might be the Johnson who was with the Swinney- Snyder party was preposterous. Former Chief of Detectives James H. Smith and the warden of the penitenti- ary declared Saturday that there was a possibility Jackson might be the John- son referred to by Swinney. “I Knew Cary Snyder well and roamed the country a good. deal with him,” said Jackson. ‘‘After Snyder’s death in Ore- gon there was some talk about my former association with him. I went to the Chief of Police and the Chief of Detectives of Kansas City and told them about the reports, and asked them if they wanted me. They did not. Never Heard of Swinney, “I was not with the Swinney party. Il never heard of Swinney until I saw his picture in the papers last week. “I never heard of the J A. Johnson, whom Swinney says was one of the party.”’ Although serving a prison sentence under the name of Jackson, the convict says his real name is Perry. He said he knew Cary Snyder because he mar- ried a girl at Independence, Mo., where the prisoner formerly lived. qext

HAD LARGE SUM OF MONEY Detectives and Relatives of John Scanlan Lead Posses of Neighbors on Trail. tee Special to the Post-Dispatch. , NEWBURG, Mo., Dec. 25.—Christmas trees have been abandoned in Newburg while the entire population of the place is searching the surrounding country for traces of John Scanlan, president of the Newburg State Bank, who has been missing since Dec. 19 and who is be- lieved to have had in his possession a large sum of money. Private detectives are aiding the searchers and preparations are being made to-explode dynamite in the Little Piney River with the purpose of recover- ing the body if Sc&@énlan was been drowned. The fact that the banker’s bank book has been found in a swamp which bor- ders the Little Piney leads members of the posses searching there to believe that he has been slain and robbed. Scanlan left Newburg on the day he disappeared to visit one of his farms on the Gasconade River. He was ac- companied by John Miller, an employe. The men carried whisky with them and according to the story told by Miller, befame intoxicated. The buggy in which the men left New- burg was found near the neighboring town of Little River. Miller declares the horses became detached after he and the banker lost their way, following their drinking bout. Miller arrived in Newburg intoxicated. Scanilon’s coat, hat and gloves were found at a point where Miller said they had had lunch. Some time after Miller’s arrival in Newburg the team which had drawn th@ buggy arrived at the Scanlon stable. Posses Start Search, Those to whom Miller told his story that night paid little attention to him, owing to his condition and the fact it had been Scanlan’s custom frequently to stay over night at the farm. The next morning Miller returned for Scanlan, but was unable to locate him. The bank officials and citizens were notified late Wednesday evening and Thursday morning a systematic search was in- stituted by large numbers of. men. Footprints were found at the house where Scanlan was supposed to get out, but no one lived there and its doors and windows were nailed up. The tracks returned to the road and followed it for about a mile, then went off into the woods, where the trail was lost. The search continued daily and bloodhounds were brought from Pierce City, Mo., and they worked vainly all Saturday. A boy named Mason, a son of another tenant of Scanlan’s, found Scanlan’s overcoat, coat, cap and muffler. Prominent Politicia Tuesday night was rainy, ariu, owing to Scanian’s weakened condition it is thought hardly possible he could have gone any great distance. He had been in very poor health for several months and had just completed arrangements to go to Arizona on Jan. 4 to recuperate. Another large body of men will spend Christmas day in the search, covering ground not thoroughly gone over. Scanlon was widely known in the State and maky relatives are arriving here to help search for him. His broth- er-in-law, James Walsh, assistant Chief of Police of Springfield, is leading one of the posses and he declares {t was the banker’s habit to carry a large sum of money with him. Scanlan has for years taken deep in- terest in the affairs of Phelps County, being practically the Democratic boss of Phelps County. He served as mayor of Newburg for several terms and has for years supplied the Frisco Railway Co. with sand for their engines. He has two daughters and one son. His wife Miller has resumed work at his former positicn as foreman+at the sandhouse and maintains it was just a case of hav- ing drunk so much he don’t know for sure just what transpired that night.

Wash Thompson, Chief of Police of East St. Louis, going to resign, or is he going to stick on the job? Even more than the inquiry as to whether Santa Claus had been good to them or not this question was interest- ing the politicians of the Bast Side city Monday. It was declared by politicians close to Mayor Lambert that the chief would resign before nightfall. Thompson himself declared he was not going to resign before nightfall, in fact wasn't going to resign at all. It all started when it became known that Mayor Lambert had had a secret conference with his political advisers. It was said that a determination had been reached to d@fivert all the recent criticism for the lack of a gambling lid and for rowdy saloons in East 8t. Louls from the administration in general di- rectly to the Chief of Police. One story was that Thompson was to go and that De Forest (better known as “‘Sam”) Overmire, Chitt of De 68, was to succeed him. j “You can say for me ther is/ noth- ing in all this talk.”* Tho sald to a reporter for the Post-Dispatch. “After I had heard all these things I met Mayor Lambert on thé street. I went straight to him and asked him about it, after telling him that I had no in- tention of resigning. “‘That’s all right,’ he gaid to me, ‘You stick to that job as long as you want it.’ ”’ BREWER’ WIFE KNOCKED DOWN HOLDS TO PUR Negro Holdup-Men Try to Rob Mrs. William Netzhammer of Alton.

Mrs. William Netzhammer, widow of the late millionaire brewer of Alton, IL, and her three daughters, Misses Rose, Frieda and Minnie Netzhammer, aad Miss Sophia Meyer, were held up by two negro highwaymen near the Netz- hammer home at 8 o’clock Sunday night. Mrs. Netzhammer was :knocked down by the highwaymen, but pluckily held onto her purse. The screams of the women frightened the negroes away. The five women had just left the Netzhammer home, 1421 Pearl street, to go to church a short distance away. As they passed a dark spot in the middle of a block the two negroes spracg from behind an obstruction-and demand- ed their money. Mrs. Netzhammer turned to run, and as she did so, one of the negroes struck her a blow with his fist. The other one bent over her and attempted to wrest her purse from her hand. and Miss Meyer screamed and their cries were heard by neighbors, who ran to their assistance. The negroes became frightend and ran away. Mrs. Netzhammer was assisted to her home, where she was attended by a physician, She is suffering from shock today and her face is badly swollen as a result of the blow she received. e NAGEL, KELLOGG OR HOOK FOR HIGH COURT Senator Warrent Says Harlan’s Successor Will Be Chosen From These Three.

The body lay unidentified at the: morgue from 1 Pp m. until 6 p. m. Sunday. It was identi- fied by means of a card bearing the telephone number, Lindell 691. This was found to be the telephone in the board- ing house of Mrs. Martha Payne of 43827 Morgan street. Mrs. Payne said Monday that Arbuckle had boarded we her house for about two months, but there several days ago. She thoug! it 6 had gone to Chicago. She said he had been drinking heavily recently. Arbuckle’s wife has_ been 4629 North Market street. It was said there that Mrs. Arbuckle had gone to the undertaking establishment to maké the arrangements for the funeral. The report that she was separated from Ar- buckle was denied at the boarding house. The woman in charge said that Arbuckle traveled a great deal, but that he spent all of his time in St. Louis with Mrs. Arbuckle at the boarding house. That Arbuckle had been sick for sev- eral days was known to the proprietor of the hotel. Dr. Joseph F. Mayes was sent to his room to see him, but he re- fused medical attention. He was alive at 10 a. m. Sunday and still refused treatment. Arbuckle has three brothers, one of them, Maclyn Arbuckle, a well-known actor. The other brothers are James, George and Eagan, all‘living in St. Louis. His father lives™ at 5948 Maple avenue, and has for many years been interested in promoting trade relations between St. Louis and the Central and South Amer- ican countries and Mexico. BOY TAKES STRAY DOG IN; IS BITTEN Animal Also Attacks Lad’s Par- ents and Dies in Par- oxysms. Jimmy McMurry, 6 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. James McMurry, 1603 Ohio avenue, East St. Louis, felt so sorry for a little dog that shivered in the cold in front of his home Saturday night that he asked permission to bring the animal in. It was granted, and the dog got a square meal and bed. Sunday morning when Jimmy went to give it some breakfast the dog bit him in the foot. Then it bit Jimmy’s mother and father, both in the hand, before they could get it out of the house, It was sent to Dr. F. J. Menestrina, a vet-

erinarian. A physician, Dr. Rollo Little, attended the injured persons. Sunday night Menestrina reported that the dog died in paroxysms resembling those of hydrophobia. Its brain was gent to a bacteriologist for examination and its three victims have started upon Pasteur treatment. — | You'll Deem It Right If DEEMS did it.

Har- rison at their home, 5610 North Market street, Sergt. Harrison's wife telephoned to Capt. Hess of the Dayton Street Police Station and reported that her husband,

would not be able to be on duty for a few days on account of his burns. He was a thin man, she explained, and had to fill out the suit, that, he bor- rowed to make up his disguise, with pillows, and consequently did not judge tis distance from the tree correctly, ana when hig clothes caught fire his hands were burned while getting them off.

FEDERATED REPUBLIO IN CHINA. All British influence that can be brought to bear in China is being directed, according to re- port, to the preservation of the monarchial prin- ciple. The report is by no means improbable. British effort for the extension of *ereditary rule is not confined to the extinction of the two re- publics in South Africa. But for that effort a republic in Northern Europe would now be num- bered among the sisterhood of nations in which popular sovereignty prevails. Strongly democratic Norway, on cutting ioose from Sweden, was reluc- tantly persuaded that the national interests would suffer through setting up a republic surrounded by monarchisl neighbors, and a British Prince was sent over to become a Scandinavian King. The masses of China may not be well prepared for a government without privileged classes based on equatity, but the quickest way to develop a ca- pacity for self-government is through the imposi- tion of self-governing responsibilities. A country} which can produce such able and devoted leadefsT} as have been developed by the revolution in China can hardly make a serious blunder, if it sub- stitutes an elected executive for a stupid Manchu Emperor. China has for centuries had the federated prin- ciple, under monarchy. The institution of a fed- erated republic would be an absorbingly interest- ing experiment in Chinese government. —————_—_ $9 —__. —_—__—_—_- Postal officials admit that the maximum amount that may be deposited in postal banks by one per- son should be increased.

After a short-lived struggle, New York’s famous New Theater, instituted by its plutocrats for the uplifting of the drama, has surrendered to the

inevitable, pointing once more to the impossibil-| 0 ity of enlisting New York in anything that does net promise profits. — The inevitable, in this instance, was not fate, but the disinclination of the plutocrats aforesaid tc persist in an undertaking which meant art for art’s sake and relegated dividends and opportuni- ties for social splurging to the background. New York enjoys the hallucination that it is ‘broad*minded and altruistic toa degree. It prides tself on being the arbiter of fashion, art and letters for America. But jts real erjoyment is musical comedy and the lobster palace. Given these and money, which is the New York obses- sion, and the legitimate drama can go hang. = = ss ww eS The Russian written constitution seems no more effective in guaranteeing the immunity of liberal members of the Duma from Siberia than the unwritten British constitution used to be in guaranteeing the immunity of Irish members of Parliament from jail.

James Berry, philosopher, has come over’ to America to lecture upon the experiences of James Berry, hangman. In 18 years as avenger of the majesty of British law Berry took more than 700 human lives. Whenever he studied a neck to estimate its breaking strength, he made sure to study its owner’s mind, Therefore, he believes himself peculiarly qualified to please and in- terest. Doubtless the psychology of the scaffold, prop- erly interlarded with snappy anecdotes on “Folks I Have Hanged,” wil) attract. We confess the prospect is enticing. What more soothing and satisfying than a well-bred description of the struggles with which or violent, pious or profane, easily assisted into the here-

THE COMMERCE COURT. When the Interstate Commerce Commission be- gan its work, 25 years ago, several important rail- road systems were bankrupt, and a number were apparently in a conditidn of indefinitely postponed dividends, Within a few years the Reading, the Southern, the Baltimore & Ohio. were practically bankrupt.| Even the great Union Pacific was in a seemingly hopeless financial predicament. Stock jobbery and mismanagement were to blame. Today, after years of patient work by the Inter- state Commerce Commission, conditions have im- measurably improved. This improvement has kept pace, step by step, with the increase in state control of railroads. In the old days railroad heads thought of their properties as means of financial juggling. Today they realize that the first business of a railroad is to furnish transpor- tation. And the railroads that, as Wall street playthings, couldn’t pay dividends, are paying properties as railroads. Railroad management today does not consist of sitting in a luxurious office in New York and scheming to manipulate railroad stock. ‘It means getting out on a railroad system, with headquar- ters accessible to the road’s employes and pat- rons, and traveling over every line frequently, enforcing methods to give good service, keeping in touch with customers and in genera] making a system of the greatest possible value to its ter- ritory. This-change is in the main due to the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Those who hold stock in American railroads are quite as much interested as those who pay freight to taem in eliminating the Taft Commerce Court, which has distinguished itself by hampering the work of the Commerce Commission. = = ~~ - FF The Hospital Saturday and Sunday Assocla- tion, of which: David R. Francis is president, sent out to the hospitals of St. Louis today four- teen checks for «a total of $43,142.20, collected for the association by the, women of St. Louis. This splendid contribition \to the relief of the sick poor is a tribute to those who have given their time and energy to/collecting the fund, as well as to the public spirit of St. Louisans, who respond so generously for the afd of every good cause,

CHRISTMAS SANITY. The President of a California university has lately published a book in which he advocates letting very weak people die in the easiest and most conyenient way possible. He is not alone in this. Too many other men who think them- | selves mentally strong and highly educated, hint the same thing, or worse, though few dare openly declare that this is their method of helping the world away from poverty, sorrow and all the af- flictions of weakness. _As this is in the strongest antagonism to the spirit of civilization which is summed in all that properly belongs to Christmas day, there may be no better day for considering what sanity means through the whole year. All who are strong and at the same time sane, may know from history, } experience or observation, that as all human life expresses itself. only. by overcoming its own..worst weaknesses, the worst form of insanity in any class is that through which it would condemn what it regards as the most nearly helpless weak- ness to desperation. In the history of the world since the first Christmas, there is nothing more formidable than the extremity of human weakness driven to the extremity of desperation. The cold and hard Pharisees of “Superior Intellect,” if they were allowed to challenge such issues, might be appalled by the nature and results of the weak- ness in themselves of which they are now wholly unconscious. As they propose to make this a country in which the rule of life will be theirs, as they define it in “Live and Let Die,” the country will not ac- cept their theory of life against the practice of “Live and Let Live.” As far at Christmas, as we gladly share pleasure with others; as far as with- out professing superior goodness, we “share strength with others who lack it, because it is not their right but our pleasure, we have the spirit f Christmas sanity, for all the year. = = * — Having during his stay at the prison become saturated with the convict viewpoint, Gov.

Exerting pressure on Russia for the abandon- ment of discrimination against Jewish citizens promises to become an international activity. Unofficial personages and organizations in Lon- don are demanding that the example of the United States shall be followed and the British treaty with Russia abrogated. The movement there will gain momentum because of its own weight, as well as because of the auspices under which it started. Religious prejudice and intolerance as a governmental policy are as obsolete as Russia’s Julian calendar. There are men in the House of Commons as ready to speak their minds on this subject as any ae the American Congress. .What could be more awkward for St. Petersburg than to have the re- buxe of the United States followed by a duplicate rebuke from England, with which country Russia is associated closely in an entente cordiale and a partnership for working both sides of the street in Persia? It is quite possible that when the reso- lute convictions of this country were voiced an agitation was started that will be heard around the world. Francé and other countries of Western Europe can hardly refrain from supporting a cause sO just. +8 That any other government would procrastinate as Mr. Taft did until the treaty became a subject of popular denunciation is not probable, but pub- uc remoanstrance against the Russian course is almost certain to be succeeded everywhere by of- ficial action. St. Petersburg cannot long withstand the force of the public ¢ opinion of the world. , i i _ - = SS Migrants to the number of 7 58 have entered. the country during the past year and 486,704 have departed, making the net increase in population from this source only 294,354.

I have been a reader of your paper for many years and I wish to ask a question in regards to the so-called “Egan’s Rats,” Why in the name of all that is good and holy don’t the papers and the people drop the names of those poor souls that have gone before their maker? People, don’t you know that this con- stant printing and bringing up of those poor fel- lows’ names causes some poor hearts to bleed? Those who are left to bear the shame are the ones who feel the sting. Stop and think. They had good mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, whose hearts ache when they think of their dead sons and brothers’ names and pictures in the pa- pers. Let the dead rest. The Lord said we are none perfect; “let him without sin cast the first stone,” and who can do it? Those men were not bad men. They had hearts, they were not thé kind that would see a poor family suffer for food or coal. They could not pass a poor woman or man on the street corner. They have done many a good deed. They have fed hungry children, buried their friends and paid for it when the poor parents could not do it for lack of funds. We must not judge; let him who knows best do that. The Lord said come unto me at the eleventh hour and repent and I shall forgive and save you. Now who knows but what those poor souls went at the eleventh hour and were saved, so let us forget their past, and may their souls rest in peace, Amen. A sister of one of the boys, who, thank God, died a natural and Christian death, M, M. 8. A Departure, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The millenium is at hand. In a new restau- rant, warnings against eating too much are posted conspicuously in large, well displayed let- ters. As, this policy, when heeded, reduces the income of the place, the commercial mind is some- what staggered. Would it not be wiser, finan- cially speaking, for restaurants to distribute dys- pepsia tablets free? WONDERING,

Tariff and Wages. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Tariff Board report communicated to Con- gress by the President’s message, says that the farmer’s profit on the wool in an average suit of clothes is about 44 per cent, the retailer’s 40 per cent, the wholesaler’s 15 per cent and the poor manufacturer’s only 5 per cent. Yet this re- marakble board also states that “the cost of turning wool into yarn in this country is about double that in the leading competing country and the cost of turning yarn into cloth is somewhat more than double.” As the poor manufacturers only gets 5 per cent out of this increased cost in the mill, who gets the 95 per cent or more differ- ence? Is it labor? Let us see. The census shows that the labor cost-in woolen and worsted mills is only about 25 per cent of the finished product. So’ if labor gets it all (and that is the protection- ist’s préa) the difference in labor cost in a mill here and abroad would be over 880 per cent and wages here should be four times higher than in the “leading competing country.” This differ- ence ought to tempt the manufacturers to import this cheap skilled foreign labor. There is no tar- iff on labor to prevent him. It is free to come in, And it does not come in, for most of the help in Eastern mills is not American born, but foreign, even including the American women, girls and boys. Only about 25 per cent of the labor of the United States is engaged in protected industries and must compete with the 75 per cent engaged in free trade or non-protected branches. The wages of the former, compared with the foreign standard are no higher relatively than the wages of the latter. How does protection help labor? Who gets the difference of over 100 per cent between the cost of cloth in American and European mills? A CONSUMER, Friendship in Business. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . While in conversation with some friends re- cently one made the remark “There is no such thing as friendship in business.” Will some of the readers give their opinion on this. Have we come to that stage in business, where not one business man has any friendship for another, proceeding from intimate acquaint- ance, or reciprocation of kind offices, or from favorable opinion of the amiable and respectable qualities of mind? Can there be friendship in business without confidence, agd confidence with- out integrity. AUGUST C., HOFFMAN, Clean Away This Debris. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The contractors and builders of the Sheldon Memorial on Washington boulevard have had the walk covered with lumber, lime, dirt, coal, etc., since last spring. Now the building is nearing completion why is the mass of debris left on the walk when they have ample room on their own grounds for it? The ladies walking to the car line, wade through this mud, left on fhe walk, every time it rains An hour’s work would clean up this mess of trash that has been here so long. C. LL. HARPER JR. Workhouse Men Would Like a Shave. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read in your paper of Chief Young helping the tramps. Prevent men from becoming tramps is e better way to help them. I came here from Chicago and got arrested for trespassing on ground which I did not know I was trespassing on. Being a stranger in the city, I was sent to the workhouse for 60 days. I was neat and clean when I entered there, but the good citizens ought to see me when I got out. I know that some of your citizens would not want to see me going to Chicago to face my people the way I was turned out of your workhouse; not only me but lots of others. Why not let them buy a few flatirons and some razors to fix a man up that he can go before a rman and ask for a job? He looks dirty; there are lots of bums on the road that look neater. There are men in here that have not seen a razor for months; their faces are covered with hair and they go out that way. My pride is too great to go before a man for a job the way I look —a manufactured tramp. WM. ZOEPFEL 114% Broadway (the Army Hotel). es Danger From Air Rifles. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch.

A FUTILE ALIBI. From the New York World. “Edward H. Harriman is dead. Cornelius N. Bliss is dead. Sidney Webster is dead. The money that Mr. Harriman raised in the last days of the 1904 campaign, after his visit to the White House, by which, as he said, “at least 50,000 votes were turned in the city of New York alone, votes in the general result,” been spent. Now comes George R. Sheldon, who knew nothing of the transaction, to say that it was Mr. Bliss and not Mr. Roose- velt who urged Mr. Harriman to raise this money. And Theodore Roosevelt, who knows all about the _ transaction, writes a letter seven years after the fact to corroborate the Sheldon version. 4 has al) ster all the circumstances In connection with this corruption fund.

JARR had stopped the psy- chic demonstration of the dis- appearing jewelry by making a physical demonstration, and also by shouting: *Stop.’’ Prof. Slurk, the subject, was at the door with the jewelry, and Dr. Greese. the controlling mental force, was close behind them. ms Mr. Jarr, however, wae in front of them. Prof. Slurk came out of his walk- ing trance with a start and took ‘the bandage from his eyes. It might have been that some idea of thrusting Mr. Jarr aside and con- tinuing on with the experiment also crossed their minds, but Mr. Jarr looked so belligerent that the mental scientists surrendered the hatful of jewelry. “Go hire a hall,’”’ said Mr. Jarr and get away with this marvelous and mys- tifying feat of the disappearing jewelry there. But you can’t do it in my house.”’ “Qh, dear! I’m all in a flutter!’ said Mrs. Mudridge-Smith. “Do you really think the jewelry would have actually disappeared ?”’’ “I’m sure of it,”" said Mr. Jarr, grimly. “But it isn’t going to disappear this evening from my flat. It would be fine if it did and for you all to accuse me of being in collusion with these fakers.” “Sir!’’ said Dr. Greese. “Such words are actionable.” “Sure they are!" replied Mr. Jarr. “You fellows act at once. Make an exit!’ ‘“‘We regret that, through no action of ours, the influences are not—that is to say—ah—congenial—um!”” said Prof. Slurk. *“‘We have cast pearls before”— Dr. Greese caught Mr. Jarr’s baleful glance and faltered at the word “swine,’”’ so he weakly added: “Philistines.” | Then with great dignity the two ad- venturers bowed and departed. And the last that was heard of them was Prof. Slurk smacking his lips and saying: “You were too hasty in endeavoring to make the Great Experiment. Their minds were not attuned.

By RIALEY D. SAUNDERS, SHUBERT—"“Every woman,” a modern morality play by the late Walter Browne. Pictur- esquely beautiful - allegory, with much poetic charm at certain moments, teaching a truthful lesson. Well present- ed, with (Frederick Warde, Jane Oaker and Marie Wain- wright heading company.

GARRICK-—Mrs. Leslie Car! ter in “Two Women.” Engage- ment opens with today’s mati- nee, CENTURY—bLbouis Mann in “Elevating a Husband.” Clever comedy with occasional deep- er moments of emotional ap- peal. Well played by star and supporting company. AMERICAN — The Great Thurston, the magician, in en | . Tat ease. The many minor symbolic roles received fairly capable interpretation. The incidental music especially com- posed for the story’s accompaniment by George Whitefield Chadwick is finely in keeping with the spirit of the play. The scenic production is notable. Seneca “THE PINK LADY, AT OLYMPIC. A bevy of sweet-faced girls, gowned in spotless raiment, who are as pleas- ing to the eye as any chorus that has visited St. Louis this season, makes up in part for the somewhat weakened cast of principals in ‘‘The Pink Lady,”’ which -made its first St. Louis appear- amce at’ the Olympic Christmas eve. Santa Claus must have left each girlie of the large cast a brand-new ward- robe with the stamp of Parisian im- portation upon it for her especial St. Louis wear, for each costume had the spic and span appearance of newness. And, too, there was the appearance of youth and freshness in the girls them- selves as they disported . themselves through the sinuous waltz or danced to the gayer Parisian twogstep. The men jof the chorus were almost crowded off ethe stage by the girls and the princi- jpals had to depend upon them to make the big musical numbers go over the footlights, ‘“‘The Girl by the Saskatche- wan’’ and “Donny Did, Donny Didn’t,”’ énsemble numbers, being the biggest hits of the performance, in spite of the much more musical “Kiss Waltz’ and ‘Beautiful Lady,’’ in which the chorus had no part. “The Pink Lady” is a _ surprisingly pretty play with a wealth of costuming and elaborate stage settings. The mu- sic is -of the pleasing popular variety that has a tendency toward sending an uudience away whistling or humming its principal airs. The story is coher-

on em lS es ee MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1911 ent, with enough comedy and plot to hold the attention when the song and dance lags. The company now at the Olympic is probably weaker than the Eastern cem- pany only in two_or three of the lead- ing roles. Wallace McCutcheon Jr. doesn’t get all out of the Lucian roje that might be desired, and Cecil Cun- ningham didn’t seem to get entirely into the spirit of the play until “The Kiss Waltz’ of the second act. Others of the company are Jad Prouty as Bebe, Edward Morris as Capote, Tom Waters «s Dondidier, Georgia Harvey as Madame Dondidier, Jane Grover, who scored one of the biggest hits in the “Donny Did, Donny Didn’t’”? num- ber; Alma Francis as Angele and Marie Vernon as Desiree, the head and front of the leading contingent of the chorus. “The Pink Lady’’ will be at the Olym- pic two weeks and gives promise of re- peating its Eastern success. GORDON 5S. SERVANT. LOUIS MANN AT CENTURY, Two St. Louis girls and Louis Mann, who in his clever curtain talk described himself as a “sort of an adopted St. Louisan,” gave a Century audience many pleasurable thrills Sunday night in opening a week’s engagement of ‘‘Ele- vating a Husband,” a four-act play which is considerably different from the common run. Those who have seen Louis Mann in his old-time character as a comedian ex- clusively, and usually a hilarious come- dian at that, in musical comedy pieces, experienced a special delight in realiz- ing the fact that Mann Can portray se- rious emotions as well as comic. In “Elevating a Husband” there is plenty of the Mann-ish sort of fun, toned down, however, and at no time does the

actor relapse into his former unke- — i a ne

ema a ee

| strained festivity of comedy. In the ‘emotional scenes, - -with which the piece is rich, perhaps overlooked, Mgnn occa- sionally seems to overdo the feeling, but on the whole his. acting Was a pleasure, Miss Emily Ann Wellman, one of the St. Louis girls mentioned gracefully in the actor’s speech, is the leading wom- an. As Letty, the girl who marries Charles Sample, rich 5-cent store mer- ‘chant, and tries to elevate him, she sup- ports the star creditably. She finds it inipossible, ‘however, to refine Sample’s English or to make .him at home in evening dress among parvenus whom she invites to the house. Sample is a whole-souled, open-heart- ed, lovable fellow with no frills. The upshot is that while he %s trying to re- mold himsef into his wife’s notion of what a husband ought to be, his highly educated general manager, who is in love with Letty, wrecks his. business and treaks his heart, though in the end it is discovered that the wife has spurned the villain ane still loves her husband. Miss Jessie Carter, the other St. Louis girl, is tn her second season on the stage. She evinces talent, though the role she plays in “Elevating a Husband’’ gives her little opportunity except to look pretty. “EAST LYNNE” REOPENS RIAL, Manager D. E. Russell reopened the Imperial Theater Sunday with the Im- perial Theater Stock Company in ‘‘East Lynne.”” Crowded houses, both after- noon and hight, indicated that stock productions still are appreciated in St. Louis. Miss Grace Rauworth, the new lead- ing .woman, doubling as Lady Isabel and Madame Vine, showed considerable versatility and won her audience in the IMPE- | Z

frst scene. The Archibald ‘Carlisle. of Albert West, the leading man, was well done, and the character work of Blanche Levering as Mrs. Carlisle got a laugh at every opportunity. Others in the are Rupert H. Clark, Austin Graham, Bruce L. Miller, Herbert H. Power, Irene Reilly, Bert Keyes, Nettle Davenport and Oro Clyde. The initial appearance of the new stock company scored a hit that predicts a g00d season. Next week, “Dora Thorne,” drama- tized from the novel by Mary J. Holmes. SYMPHONY \“SUNDAY POP.” The Christmas e pe popular concert by the Symphony Orchestra under Max Zach’s direction Suhday afternoon at the Odeon introducéd Mrs. Annabelle McIntyre Dickey, contrajto, as a soloist new to St. Louis and scéred a great and deserved success. Mrs. Dickey’s program number was the aria, “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” from Saint-Saens’ “Samson and Delilah,”’ which so pleased the audience that an encore was demanded and given. The orchestral numbers were the Pas- torale from Bach's Christmas Oratorio, the overture to Schubert’s ‘Rosa- munde,”’ the March of the Knights of the Holy Grail from Wagner's ‘“Parsi- fal,”’ Sibelius’ ‘‘Valse Triste,’ the\over- ture to Wagner’s ‘“‘Rienzi,’”’ the Dance of the Happy Spirits and the Dance of the Furies from Cluck’s “Orpheus,” the former with flute obligato, admirably played by Mr. Schmit of the orchestra ; Eysler’s ‘‘Kuenstlerblut” waltz, ‘Mendel- ssohn’s ‘Spring Song’ and Gillet’s “The Mill,’’ the two latter given as encores. Arthur Shattuck, the famous Amer- ican pianist, will be the soloist at this week’s Friday afternoon and Saturday

By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. N the congenial atmosphere of Christ- mas Evé the modern morality play, entitled ‘“‘Everywoman,” began its

engagement at the Shubert Theater on Sunday evening and told its curious story to a deeply interested audience. The story is curious for the manner of its telling rather than for thé ma- terial. It is a very old story, indeed, addressed especially to Eve's daughters, not to Adam's sons, pointing the an- c‘ent and always wholesome moral that *home-keeping hearts are happiest,” and it is ceuched in terms of medie- valism and modernity that constitute a most dramatic blend and contrast at one and the same time. For the late Walter~Browne, its, au- thor, seems to have been something of a poet, possessing alSe—the courage of his convictions, tate to employ the quaintest forms of sixteenth century symbolism whenever it seemed to him that the symbol prom- ised to be more effective tan the con- crete and visible fact. Allegory and realism go hand in hand throughout the five ‘“‘canticles’”’ into which the play. is thaped, the result being that an appre- clative soul can find in the work a de- ight much out of the ordinary. And yet the tale is merely that of an overly daring girl, somewhat too sweep- ingly characterized as Everywoman, who is lured upon a false trail in quest of true Love and who invades the Great White Way of New York—or any other world-metropolis—believing that such love iis to be found there. She is warned by Nobody and tempted by Flattery, so who need doubt the issue of the initial conflict between the two, even though plain Truth also waves the danger signal before her glamor-dazzléd eyes? In every like alignment since the world began, Flattery has won the first day’s fight, and Flattery wins it now. Everywoman seeks Love where Passion masquerades as Love instead. She is accompanied by Youth, Beauty and Modesty, but these three dre soon lost in the reek of the Hfe to which she has so vainly turned. Passion betrays her for a moment, Wealth buys and owns her for a time, and the eternal and never-changing end of such a quest for true Love is inevitable. Worn and broken and bowed, sorely soiled in body and spirit, befooled, dis- illusioned and cast aside, Everywotan returng at last to the home from which she set out for Love's finding—and there, in the person of Truth’s own son, she finds the Love that was all-lacking in the gay world’s untruth. That's the whole story, the charm of which is in. the telling, as I have already intimated. Jane Oaker plays the role of Every-| woman, in which, however, Adele Blood will be seen at the matinee perform- ances. Miss Oaker acquits herself quite cleverly, making thé most of her dra- matic opportunities and realizing the part to an audience's satisfaction. The Nobody of Frederick Warie’s playing, a sort of Greek chorus in som- ber robe and of somewhat cynical thought, is perhaps the most memorable figure of the entire cast. Mr. Warde's reading of his lines was especially im- pressive, bringing out their author’s poetic thought to the fullest, and second only to him in this respect was Marie Wainwright as Truth, an admirable éharacterization in all its details. Other interesting figures were Youth, and he did not Nhesi-

The pocket billiard title, gentlemen, is nothing more than the same which the wonderful Cuban fought for and won many years ago under the name of pool. It seems that the men who have for so many seasons made money out of the game under the old name, have become ashamed of it today, and want it re- christened to get rid of the bad repu- tation it enjoys. Re-naming it may hide the game for awhile, but you can’t keep a promi- nent article hidden long by giving it an alias. And pool, at times, has been strong enough to run a dead heat with wrestling and soap factories.

The half-way mark has been reached in the National Amateur Three-cushion League and St. Louis seems hopelessly out of the race. Even on this day, when everyone is optimistic, happy and hopeful, it is hard to strain the imagfnation to a point where one can see anything better than a second-divl- sion berth for the local cue experts. Indeed, last place seems to be the goal of the cham- pions. Chicago has played half its games and is now showing the way by a four-game margin. Kansas City is second, having come from nowhere to the runner-up posi- tion. Philadelphia occupies third place and really looms up as the most formidable competitor for Chicago, Joseph Mayer, th—— Hulswitt Signs With Columbus, COLUMBUS, O., Dec, 25.—Secretary Quinn of the Columbus (American Association) club

Cardinals’ Scouts Best of Any Big League Team

Addition of Kinsella and Armour to Staff Should|} Spell Wonders for Team ina Year or Two.

By W. J. O’CONNOR. N retaining Dick Kinsella and Bill Armour, both former club owners, to scout for the Cardinals, Manager Roger Bresnahan ts laying a foundation on which eventually he should build a championship club. The Cardinals, as they stand today, are not a pennant-winning aggregation. Roger is shy a champion- ship pitcher and a hard-hitting outfielder. However, in Kinsella and Armour he has a pair of gum-shoed gents who soon should unearth enough talent to strengthen all the weak spots in the local club. , For the first time since “‘father was a boy,’”’ a local team seems equipped with a competent staff of scouts. This de- partment surely is a most important one and in signing Kinsella and Armour Bresnahan gobbled up two of the most likely looking men in the country. Both are seasoned baseball men. Kinsella’s master stroke was the deliverance of Larry Doyle to the Giants; Armour is famed for “finding’’ Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the greatest ballplayer of all time. Kinsella and Armour should, and un- doubtedly will, exercise more judgment than the average scouts in recommend- ing material to Bresnahan. Perchance they will not “send up’’ a single man next season. Good scouts seldom buy in. wholesale -quantities. Armour and Kinsella probably will follow in Lake’s footsteps. They will not recommend many, but when they put their stamp of approval on a player the fans can rest assured that he will not be a joke. At least it is hoped that they will not duplicate the work of Bres- nahan’s scouts of last year. Roger was passed along the most hopeless array of misfits ever sent into the big arena. And probably for the best, as the Duke got en his high horse and hired a pair of real scouts for next season. Little Chance to Shout. At long range, the Cardinals seem to have @ very slim chance for. National League laurels next year. Fans may become .over-enthusiastic and predict a pennant for the Robison Field cadets, simply because they made a phenom- enal spurt last year. That will be mak- ing harder the task of Manager Bresna- han. With such teams as Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburg and Chicago in the same League it is hard to see how the Cardinals can win. However, it is safe

there fighting’ for a part of the season. And Bresnahan eventually will deliver @ pennant to St. Louis, bet on that. Roger has proved by his manipulations in the past three years that he is going about his task In the proper way. In fact, there’s a remote ekance that he will deliver next year. Should Gclden hit his stride, Saliee climb aboard the water wagon, and he, himself, catch the Du'k of the games, the Cardinals may surprise even their most sanguine supporters. But there are to many ‘‘ifs.’’ ; One thing is sure, though. Bresnahan has the foundation for a pennant winner. In Kerrey, Hauser, Magee, Mowrey. Oales, Evans, Wingo, Harmon, Sallee, Steele, Gold- en, Loule Lavtiermilk, Geyer and Wallie Su.ith, Bresnahan has an array of kids that should improve with age. Miller Huggins is the only man who may drop out, but the Rabbit. is far from being through. True, he’s a bit “ancient, but” b¥ ‘the time ‘that ine diminutive second sacker is ready to step down, Lee Magee should be ready to fill the vacancy and show championship form. Roger Need Not Worry. Nc manager in the National League can look ahead three years with the same peace of mind that Bresnahan can. McGraw has a rretty young team, but Big Six Mathewson long has been the backbone of the Giaats, and Big Six is showing signs of distress. When he goes, McGraw will have to iook to his laurels. Marquard is good, in fact, gieat, but he is not a Mathewson. Freg Clarke probably will see Father Time snatch Wagner, who like Mathewson, has been the “nucleus” of many champion- ship teams, and Frank Chance probably will watch Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker and Jimmy Sheckard and M. Brown’ pass into the dis- card before Bresnahan will even think of relinquishing his hold on Koney, Harmon, Magee, Wingo, Evans, Oakes, Hauser, Mow- rey, Bullee and Steele. Bresnahan has the youngest team in the National League, Giants not excepted. True there are some weak spots in his nine, but if Messrs. Ar- mour and Kinsella do their duty, Roger will play the lead in @ little melodrama with Connie Mack before the return of Halley’s

tc predict that the Climbers will be ‘‘up comet.

A four-club baseball! league has been organ- ized in Cleveland to play on the ice of Lake’ Erie, starting as soon as the ice appears.

“There goe car built in America” How often you hear that expres- sion among men who really know motor cars. Time was when, if you asked three or four automobile men to mame the highest class American car, you would have received as many different replies. Today if you ask this question of three or four well-informed men, probably two, and possibly three, will answer, ‘‘Lozier.’’? Everywhere you find this striking unanimity in assigning Lozier first place. Talk With Men Who Know ‘The man who knows fis the man who has owned several cars—the man who puts his car to the severest touring uses. He is the man who tours far from the beaten track; who takes his car through unfre- quented parts of Europe; whose | annual mileage runs into thou- sands; who demands ceaseless, un. failing service. These are men who know, and they recognize Lozier supremacy. You also hear Lozier termed “‘The best car in America’? by men in the trade—dealers, engineers, salesmen for other tars, managers of garages, officers of tire and acces- ‘concerns. . Phe opinion of such men {s the «strongest endorsement; worth more 1912 Model 6 eyl. 51h. p. $5000 7 Styles in Bodies

Never Marketed a Mistake Most of the designers of medium riced cars, if asked to pick out the st American car, would unhesi- tatingly name the Lozier. Its worth has been proven by its consistent a and by the fact that ozier has never marketed a me- chanical mistake. They know that Lozier led in America in using improved features now recognized as standard —such as fore-doors, 36" wheels, ball bear- ings, long wheel base, four-speed transmission, multiple disc clutch, Bosch magneto, double ignition, etc. First Place Won by Merit Lozier’s enviable position was not won by any sudden jump into popularity. It was rather the re- sult of causes slowly working to- ward this end for years. But gradually its repeated suc- cesses in the greatest contests and its unfailing satisfaction in owner’s hands have established its reputa- tion as America’s highest-class car.

10 LOVE AFFAR: TIEARING FRIDAY He and Mrs. Hunning to Waive Examination ahd Be Charged With Murder. WOMAN PRISONER IS FIRM Widow of Slain Man Vehement- ly Denies Relations: Existed Between Her and Neighbor. Following a confession of Joseph Sel- del in which he told of his intimate re- lations with Mrs. Annie Hunning, with whom he is being held for the murder of the woman’s husband, Martin Hun- ning. who was shot while at the tele- phono in his cabin -home, it was an- rounced Monday that the pair would. be summoned for a preliminary é¢xamina- tion Friday. Prosecuting Attorney Mil- ler expects them to waive this examina- tion. If they do he will file a charge of murder in the first degree against them. Seidel’s confession, while considered of value in establishing a probable mo- tive for the crime, has advanced the cuthorities little towards fixing the mur- der upon any person. It merely con- firmed what the whole neighborhood knew and gossipped about and what even the husband knew before he was shot, which was shown in the testimony at the second inquest last week. The confession was made after a long sweating by Prosecutor Miller, John L. Bechler, Sheriff, and John J. Keely of the Desmond Detective Agency, a for- mer assistant thief of detectives in St. Louis. Seidel said his intimacy with the wife of his neighbor and friend had endured for a little less than a year. He said she had once or twice suggest- ed to him they could be married if her husband were out of the way. Mrs. Hunn'ng appeared angry when confronted with Seidel and denied the truth of his story. She laughed about the whole matter, however, as soon as Seidel was out of her sight. She be- haved with the stolid composure that has marked her since the day after her husband was shot. Seidel denied that he had any knowl-, edge whatever of the murder. He talked frankly, once he had begun revealing things. Mrs. Hunning defiantly refused to tell anything that would have any bearing upon the-case. The prisoners spent Christmas day quietly in their cells. It ts the custom of Sheriff Bechler to serve a turkey din- ner on. such holidays, and they, with the others in the jail enjoyed the gen- erous noonday repast.

‘The coldest weather of the season,” the bulletin continues, “now prevails in the interior of Alaska, the lowest tem- peratures reported from the region be- ing 52 degrees below zero. “The indications are that the first part of the week will be unsettled, with snow or rain in northern, and rain in southern, districts east. of the Rocky Mountains, attending eastward move- ment of a disturbance that now covers the Middle West. “Another disturbance will appear in the Far West about the middle of the week, cross the Middle West about Thursday or Friday and the Eastern States at the close of the week; it will be attended by general precipitation. A pronounced change to colder weathr will overspread the Northwestern States Tuesday and Wednesday and advance eastward and southward over the East- ern and Southern States during the lat- ter half of the week, terminating the rrolonged period of unseasonably high temperatures in these districts.’’
