A SENSIBLE MARRIAGE LAW. There is a good deai of truth in the contention of students of the divorce evil t.at a large part of the cause is unregulated magriage. With the object of surrounding marriage with safeguards, many laws have been proposed, some to require medica) examination, others to require mental soundness, and still others to bar criminals, or those with family history of herecitary disease. Limitation of marriage is a problem for scien- tists. But it is within the province of any legis- lature to enforce laws to prevent couples from marrying on impulse, or otherwise than deliber- ately and soberly. . Massachusetts has a new law, under which a marriage license cannot be granted until five days after it is applied for. Such a law, sus- pended only in case of deathbed marriages, seems likely to abate appreciably the evil of hasty mar- riages. Some such plan might be followed gen- erally, with advantage to society. i A sp a a So Lillian Russell is to wed a fourth husband. And she didn’t have to wait for Leap Year to get him, either.

»™ POPULATION AND POVERTY. The experts who make advance estimates of a decline of 30 per cent in foreign immigration for the year say they do not know how to account for it.. A sufficient explanation, until a better one is offered, is that there may have been a de-

_cline of more than 30 per cent in the amount of - all with its general movement. money usually spent secretly every year in pro- moting this movement as “supply” for the de- mands of our “labor market.” : Whatever the explanation, such a decline of 30 per cent might be increased annually to the great advantage of the country until foreign immigra- tion begins actually to extend systematically into the United States. At present, it stagnates on the North Atlantic seaboard and seeps out into the Lake cities, reaching the United States in general only through causes hardly connected at The country is suffering for more population where it is needed, but is also suffering from too much population where less is needed. There, it only serves to increase poverty. The overcrowding of poverty in Chicago and New York has not added to their prosperity or to that of the country. i i i _— a a Col.

SUNDAY MORNING,

~~ ere

The Post-Dispatch answers this question by submitting in today’s Sunday Post-Dispatch to the St. Louis people 10 definite plans for beautifying | the city, improving traffic ways, enlarging the park and boulevard system and harmoniously de- veloping the metropolitan city. All of the plans presented are not new. Several have been urged from time to time as greatly de- sirable. Some of the larger projects, such as the park on the river front, the parkway between Twelfth street and Grand avenue, and the park center for the grouping of municipal buildings have been fully illustrated in the Post-Dispatch. But there has been no definite program, no or- ganized machinery to carry it out, and no crys- tallized public purpose to realize these visions of a greater and more beautiful St. Louis. This city has dreamed while other cities, notably New York, Chicago, Boston and Kansas City, have acted. All of the leading cities are responding to the aspira- tion and impulse to advance in sanitation, conven- ience, comfort, beauty on orderly and adequate lines. It is time for St. Louis to prepare and work for the best development of the greater city of the future. We have now the official organization in the City Plan Commission, created and authorized by ordinance to formulate plans for city improve- ment and obtain the legislation and the money necessary to carry them into practical execution. The commission has approved a concrete pro- gram of action. This program, so far as it has been outlined definitely, is embraced in the 10 specific improvements described in today’s Post- Dispatch. : What is needed now for the practical accom- plishment of the designs is the force of publicity and the support of the people of St. Louis. The press and the people can supply these necessary factors. A beginning of the work of improving St. Louis on a metropolitan scale was made in preparation for the World’s Fair. As a result of the bond is- sue voted for the purpose we have acquired addi- tional park areas, public squares and playgrounds. We have made substantial progress in the con- struction of boulevards and bridges. We have built handsome public buildings. An amendment to the charter enabled the city government to equip the city with paved streets. The new plans are designed to link together more conveniently and attractively the street sys- tem, to complete the chain of parks and play- grounds, to open parkways and new boulevards, to adorn public squares, to increase traffic conven- fences, to rid the city of unsightly and dangerous poles and wires, to separate the manufacturing and residence districts and to beautify avenues with trees, grass plots and artistic lighting appli- ances. In short, the purpose is to crown the great commercial and industrial advantages of St. Louis with attractions and conveniences which will meet all the demands of an enlightened popu- lation, The object is to add to the joy of life in St. Louis. The city beautiful, healthy, safe and comfortable, is the aim. Legislation is needed to enlarge the powers of the city before the projected parkway and other extensive improvements can be undertaken. The Post-Dispatch urged the adoption of the new charter chiefly as a means of enabling the city to undertake public improvements under the best possible conditions. The new charter em- powered the city to create improvement districts and to issue bonds for improvements against the property of the districts. This power would en- able the city to obtain economical contracis for public work and to satisfy the indebtedness through tax bills. This provision with the sections relating to public utilities should be adopted as amendments to the present charter. When the legislative acts required by St. Louis are formulated by the eommission, they should have the united support of citizens. St. Loufsans should demand of the State Legislature all the measures necessary to equip the city with the power to undertake public improvements under conditions of the highest efficiency and economy. Required charter amendments should be voted at the earliest opportunity. Last year was a period of profitable effort. The Post-Dispatch led a number of popular move- ments for reforms and advances in city, State and nation. Although the new charter was defeated, the city was saved from 50-year bondage to an antiquated street railway system. Reductions in the rates of gas and electricity were obtained. A successful smoke-abatement campaign was con- ducted. City hospital management was taken out of the mire of scandalous inefficiency and put on the road to thorough reform. Public golf links were assured. A superb exhibition of St. Louis paintings was offered citizens at the Art Museum. A St. Louis slogan was obtained and adopted. A campaign to bring the national po- litical conventions to §t. Louls was started with ® $10,000 subscription from the Post-Dispatch. The Post-Dispatch urged that steps be taken to obtain freer trade and better street railway con- nections with the East Side. Plans were suggest- ed for this purpose. Much of last year’s work was for the advance- tment of the commercial and industrial interests of St. Louis. A strong, effective campaign for

‘new industries and commercial enterprises was F Pe. alls : oj ae eee ee Y OER Re SDP Re ee oe Noi Ar ae Aly re. eet RRS | ab NOE ARNG RR a ne 8 a RC ee 8 aD! ape AR at nthe What can be done in 1912 to improve St. Louis? |

: | maintained throughout the year with good re- sults. This campaign should be continued. There should be no relaxation of effort to obtain for St. Louis the best possible railroad facilities and rates and to utilize advantages for commercial and industrial growth. Prosperity is the founda- tion of all municipal progress. But let us join with the campaign for a greater industrial and commercial St. Louis an effective movement for the city beautiful. Let us plan and actually begin to make the physical city after the perfect model. What better New Year resolution can the citizens of St. Louis adopt for 1912 than a of municipal betterment that lies within their power. The 10 plans of the City Plan Com- mission offer an excellent program. The Post-Dispatch pledges to the task the power of publicity and its own hearty sup- determination to complete all the work port. We ask the co-operation of the entire press and people of the city. 6 e——__—___— Out of 27 applications to restrain the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the new Commerce Court granted all but seven, and four of the seven were in minor cases.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Will a Blind Guide. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Religious workers entering into a New Year will find considerable encouragement to do greater work by changing our method and studying self more to see if we can find the source of the dif- ficulty in converting mankind to right living and righteoushess. If we study self we will find that all mankind born into this world worship their own will as the source of truth and this perverted will is the cause of our false judgment. This being so, we must by our effort in education, preaching and teaching, persuade people to study self, to see what the defect in self is, so that they can fight evil in self or cast out evil spirits in self by wor- shiping God in spirit and in truth. This could only be done by conversion through Jesus Christ, by his example of sacrificing the will to God. To gain power from God we must return to sim- plicity in everything—our customs, manners, ways of living and government must not depend on greatness, but to get benefit from God in prayers we must adopt the simplest plans or conditions, the only living example being Jesus Christ, and as we live exactly as he did we will make right might. for the peace to all mankind. PROGRESSIVE.

On How Much Should a Man Marry? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In a column of your paper on the magazine page, I have noticed the advice given by Betty Vincent. She advises girls not to marry a man who does not earn more than $15 a week. As one who earns less than $15 a week. I pro- test, as it is an injustice to myself and others likewise, who do not earn the sum of $15. I no- ticed in this very column, “Letters From the Peo- ple,” sometime ago, several articles under the heading of ‘‘Heroes’’—men who had families and supported them on less than $12 a week. Now what appeals to me most is, why cannot a man and his wife live quite comfortably on $12 a week? I know several men, especially hotel clerks, who do not get more than $12 and some $10 a week, though their hotel is one of the largest in this city. Is a man doomed to single “blessedness” for the one reason, insufficient salary or less than $15 a week? I know this will appeal to some young men and some young wom- en, who are pondering over that one question. I trust you will give some answer to this im- portant question, TWELVE DOLLARS. The Foundation of Things. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Truth is all-pervading and cannot be confined within temple walls, nor can it be monopolized by any religious organization, -anity, science or ism. A human being can only recognize truth by a properly functioning brain. To properly function, a brain must first be well fed, clothed and housed, and, second, must be used, especially that part which reasons, Brains that are not used and well cared for are naturally the easier to control by outside inflifenees, environment or the well-nutured brain of another. Socialists be- lieve that every individual is entitled by right of birth to food, clothing ard shelter in abun- dance. If this seems un-Christian to anyone, the fault is with them, not with Socialism. Reason! BENTON CORWIN. Charge $500 for Divorce. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “y, J. B.” is lacking in a good many points in his argument. Divorces are too cheap; there is where.all the trouble is. This rule works the same for men and women—Just like going to a bargain store or going to a mill; you put your grain in the mill and it grinds out flour; the same with the divorce court you put in your marriage certificate and out comes a decree of divorce, all for a dime or a car ticket. Such laws look as if they were made more for women. They can bring suit and make the man furnish all the ammunition for war against himself, and if he has no money to pay the order of the court in the maintenance, if so ordered, he has no right to a hearing in said court. That looks to me an injustice. There should be a law setting a price on divorces at about $500 and giving the man and woman an even break and making them prove every word of their testimony. Make it as hard as possible for both parties, and then they would try to get along better. I have been around these courts quite a bit and have heard people on the stand telling nothing but lies. But somehow they win. There are cases where the defendant has no chance at all, being short of money, and can’t have an attorney to look after his end of the case. The Judge never thinks anything about that, and the decree is granted and the party, man or woman, goes out and says: “Oh, it’s easy to get a divorce. I will marry again.” The Judge could patch up the grievances in many cases, for some of them don't amount to a hill of beans. A little talk from some good-hearted and broad-minded Judge could do wonders along a PRA S : os, & | pi. RUSSIA’S PROGRESS

those lines, A. & ARMSTRONG, , NOT FOR TAMMANY TOWN. From the New York World, “The World is fearful that the Democratic Na- tional Convention, if held in this city, would be kidnaped by Wall street,” says the Mail. Not at all: but the World knows that if the Democratic National Convention were held in this city ‘the ticket would suffer immense damage from the strong Western prejudice against New York politics, Furthermore, we think this prejudice is justi- fied. The condition of the New York Democracy, boss-ruled and Tammany-ruled, is a disgrace to the party and a menace to the party. The Demo- cratic organization in this State does not repre- sent Democracy. The less influence it has in a national convention the better. The less con- spicuous it is the better.

JUST LIKE ST. LOUIS. From the New York Globe and Commercial Ad- vertiser. The Police Department has the netion that the only feasible way to keep the crooks under is to give the police officers the right to suspend at pleasure the rights and immunities of private citizens. If the constitution is in the way—then so much the worse for the constitution. This sort of thing Mayor Gaynor proposes to stop. Isn’t it time for him to have the active sup- port of the better members of the department? When he gets this support the police revolution for which he has struggled will be achieved, and with the defenders of the law setting an example of obedience to law there will be fewer offenders against the law. AS TO PENSIONS. From the Indianapolis News. We owe a debt of gratitude, and even money in some cases, to the men who have served the nation so well, but surely the pension graft runs beyond all boundaries. It would be better for the young men who fought the fight of a decade ago to continue at work and try to look life squarely in the face than become weakened by relying more or less on the public till. There is nothing that quite so completely breaks good men down as the pension system, which was only aimed to be a sustaining aid for those who were incapact- tated. It will be well for the demand to be met as it should be. The sooner we get the pension virus out of this nation the better for it at home and abroad,

WAGES AND COST. From the New York Evening Post. On the subject of the efficiency of labor, and its relation to high wages, the Tariff Board's re- port on Schedule K presents some interesting data and conclusions. The highly «€ignificant statement is made that the careful determinations of productive efficiency made by the Board “show wide differences in efficiency and cost, but in- dicate in general that the lowest labor costs per pound were in mills paying the highest wages.”

The royal women’s dislike is *'mutual and, as Eulalia declines to be snubbed, she « very seldom puts in appearance at the Spanish s Court and avoids coming to Madrid. Indeed, since | her royal nephew’s marriage, her visits have prac- ©" &tically ceased. On the other hand, the Infanta is "| Meeply attached to the Queen-mother, Donna Maria ‘athristine, as she herself has of late publicly mani- "efested during this storm over the publication of Bric book, “Au Fil de la Vie” (To the Thread of Life). tf Resents Her Sen's Treatment. * The strange and rather offhand treatment meted But to the Infanta’s eldest son, Don Alfonso of Or- #leans, an officer in the Spanish Army at the time "ef his marriage with Princess Beatrice of Saxe- a Pro. by King Alfonso, who then deprived him “pf all his honors and further degraded him, has ? used estrangement and, although recently this young Prince has been reinstated and all his hon- jors restored him—lhe is at present serving in the expeditionary forces in Melilla—-the Infanta con- Baiders that her son's self-denial and patriotism in = olunteering for the Melilla campaign have not net with their due 44Gward and that he has been /urposely passéd over. She blames this to the : , een's influence over Aifonso in her desire to ortify Eulalia. The republican newspaper Espana Nueva is re- onsible for the following story, which it declares strictly true and which signified an open effront Infanta Eulalia: | Recently on the arrival in Madrid of Infanta Jaz tFulalia’s sister) and her daughter, Infanta on Fernando, Eulalia’s younger son, by chance Pecompanied them in the same train, he being on vis way to Seville.

Indeed, the Marchioness has become noted in society for her devotion to her little son—which is not a common trait nowadays among society mothers, especially those like the Marchioness of Crewe, who is vastly admired both for her beauty and cleverness. The baby is an infantile edition of Lady Crewe’'s father, Lord Rosebery. She never goes anywhere without him—not even out to lunch, for the baby must be taken along and be under the same roof, Lady Crewe’s sister, Lady Sybil Grant, who married an officer in the Guards, who will be very rich some day—lives entirely in the coun- try, sharing the craze of her brother, Lord Dal- meny, for sport, hunting and racing particularly. She also breeds dogs and has been very successful at the Kennel Club Show with some specimens of the new canine fashion, the Pyrenian Mountain dogs, which are flerce and wolflike in character but handsome, with a beautiful coat. Lady Sybil Grant does not share her sister’s popularity in suciety, as she cares little for the ordinary social round. Jennie Chamberilain’s Son of Age. Lady Naylor-Leyland, formerly Jennie Cham- berlain, the American beauty, has been in town on business connected with the coming of age of her elder son, the young Baronet, The festivities were postponed from his birthday, Dec. 6, on account of his indisposition, which though slight, would have marred the rejoicings. Therefore, theré is to be a combined round of gayeties at the family res- idence, Nantclyd Hall, Ruthin, North Wales, con- necting the coming of age and the New Year. A large house party has been invited. There will be a large ball’ and some theatricals as well as a midnight carnival in the grounds, which are to be illuminated with old-fashioned torchea held by men in old-fashioned costumes. The young Baronet has received very handsome gifts, including a pearl pin from the King and a sold cigarette case with the royal crown and initial in red and blue enamel from Queen Alex- andra. The Queen has sent a set of old prints, three in number. which are a fad with the Baronet and which are of value. In old days King Edward would often talk of this event, for he was very fond of Sir Albert’s beautiful mother and ft was arranged that if he ever visited the North of Wales he would “pay a call,” as he put it, 4» Nantclyd Hall, the Naylor-Leyland seat.

Among the guests were Col. and Lady Sarah Wilson, the Earl and Countess of Leicester and Lady Bridget Coke, Viscount Las- celles, Lord Cochrane, Lord and Lady Rossmore and Mrs. Cecil Bingham.

the policy of lower admission prices results in a satisfactory financial re- turn to playwrights, players and play- producers, and if the quality of the plays presented at these lower prices be satisfactory to playgoers, the problem that accounts for the existing era of general dissatisfaction is virtually solved. It is my sincere conviction that good plays offered at a price of $1 for the best seats in more profitable than those for whicn $1.50 and $2 are charged. The reduction of from one-third to one-half in the cost of seeing a play will appeal potently for the patronage of the individual man and woman who, collectively, constitute the play-going public. The largely in- creased patronage thus obtained will far more than overcome the deficit in box- office receipts apparently threatened by the reduction in price. Unless 1 am very much in error as to the remedy for existing conditions, this will be the teaching of the Gar- rick’s inaugural venture of 1912. At any rate, we now shall learn whether the present cost of seeing a play is re- sponsible for the decreased attendance at the play. the art of drama, it is vitally nec- essary that the multitudes, not merely the “elect’’ of so-called culture, of wealth and of fashion, sincerely shall love and frequent the drama. No art lives permanently save in the hearts of the people. It may receive its highest appreciation from the ‘‘il- iuminati,’’ but, to be greatly vital, it must reach and hold and inspire the populace as well. For we must remem- ber that the world’s greatest art has always come from the creative art- impulse of the people. Poets, play- wrights, painters, sculptors, composers weavers of tales—strike from their radiant muster-rolls the names of the lowly-born, of the children of the poor, and what a beggarly. list is left for the world’s contemplation! How, then, may that art prosper whose inspiration is denied to the multitude? Yet, on the other hand, how greatly shall it prosper when its beneficence is possible to all, claiming the millions for its public. and finding, among these millions, the gloriously gifted few, beloved of God, upon whose creative genius depends all art’s life and growth and sustained well- being! I am not contending that those whose money is invested in the business of play-producing shall deliver their wares to the multitudes without financiai profit to themselves. God forbid my utterance of a plea so asinine! But I. do contend that it-wihl be greatly pro- fitable, and from the purely material viewpoint, if these wares, the very best of them, are placed within the reach of the multitudes.

begins a two weeks’ engagement at the Garrick this evening. The story told is that of the divert- ing misadventures of two newly wedded couples who start out hoping to enjoy a delightful honeymoon on the Hudson. The husbands are college chums, but the wives have never met. There is a mix-up on the boat at the start, one husband goes ashore with the other’s wife, missing the steamer, and from this mishap the author evolves al! sorts of amusing situations, the lines and action of the play fairly bubbling over with merriment. The production is made under Wil- liam A. Brady’s management and Mr. Brady is said to have engaged an ex- cellent company for the play’s pre- sentation. The English version of a musical com- edy by Paul Herve and Jean Briquet, now entitled ‘‘Alma, Where Do You Live?’’ comes to the Century for the week beginning this evening. George V. Hobart made the adapta- tion, and Vera Michelena, in the title role, heads the original New York com- pant. Mr. Hobart is said to have pre- served all the droll situations and hu- morous lines, while at the same time raising the moral standard, making the production a wholesome offering for American audiences. The play tells the story of an unsophisticated country vouth who is to inherit 4,000,000 francs ir the event that he doesn’t propose to a woman before he is 21, and its com- edy arises from his infatuation for the title-role heroine, employed by schemina relatives to lure him into forfeiting his inheritance. But the temptress falls truly in love with the youth, and the FRECKLES GONE ‘‘Simple Remedy From Wolff-Wilson Drug Co.

Golden Remedy Did It

The Happy Reunion City Collector Koeln announced yes- terday afternoon that he expected the collections of his office for the fiscal year ending April 1 to reach $14,000,000. Yesterday was the last day for the payment of 1910 taxes without penalty, and the estimated collections by mail and at the counters for the day was $1,300,000. Jan. 1 the taxes become delinquent and a penalty of 1 per cent a month is add- ed. The estimated collections including Dec. 30 totaled $13,115,000, and Koeln thinks that at least $1,000,000 more will come in before the end of the fiscal year. The total collection in 1910 was $13,695,104.13, and Koeln. expects the 1911 collection to. beat it by $300,000 or $400,- O00. The clerk# at the collector’s office have been rusbed all week. All yester- day morning taxpayers were lined four and five deep along the counters and the crowds did not diminish until long after the regular closing hour of the of- fice at noon. Biz Bills Paid Last Day. A number of large tax bills came in yesterday morning, among them being the Laclede Gas Co. for more than $300,000, the Bank of Commerce for $200,- 000 and the Third National Bank for $100,000.

~~~ _ yt, LUGIS POST-DISPATCH. — ~TNDGESTION WILL VANISH. AND YOUR There would not be a case of indi- gestion here if readers who are sub- ject to Stomach trouble knew the tre- mendous anti-ferment and digestive virtue contained in Diapepsin. This harmless preparation will digest 4 heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and relieve the sourest, neid stomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all foul, Nauseous odors from the breath. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on each 50-cent ease of Pape’s Diapepsin, then you will readily understand why this promptly cures indigestion and re- moves such symptoms as Heartburn, a feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, Belehing of Gas and FEructa- tions of undigested food, water brash, Nausea, Headache, Biliousness and many other bad symptoms, and, be- sides, you will not need laxatives to keep your stomach, liver and intes- tines clean and fresh. If vour stomach is sour and full of gas or your food doesn’t digest, and your meals don’t seem to fit, why not get a 50-cent case from your druggist and make life worth living? Absolute relief from Stomach misery and per- fect digestion of anything you eat is sure to follow five minutes after, and besides, one case is sufficient to cure a whole family of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, inexpensive preparation like Diapepsin, which will always, either ht daytime or during night, relieve your stomach misety and digest your meals, is about as handy and valuable a thing as you could have in the house —ADV. — ee OCU _— Tw se .

N. Brown. 11,000 TREES SET OUT “Man From Home” Will Be Host and Side Trip Will Be Without Expense to Party. An infant cocoanut industry, lo- Cated within the.10-mile strip of the Canal Zone, and owned by St. Louis- ans, will he visited by members of the Business Men's League on their February trip to Panama, as the re- sult of a surprise invitation cabled ww SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 1911. ~“"~~-~ vesterday by Charles M. Brown of Venado Beach, C. Z., and extended through his cousin, J. R. Brown of St. Louis, a member of the league. Venado Beach is seven miles up the Pacific Coast from the Hotel Tivoli, Panama City, at which the 120 St. Louisans will make their headquarters during the week that they are on the canal. The cocoanut plantation with its 11,000 young trees set out and acreage being cleared for a total of 100,000 trees, is reached via a launch trip that will take the passengers along’ the picturesque Pacific Coast for an hour’s run, The St. Louisans will be the guests of the Browns and under no expense in making the side trip, which it is expected will be covered in an after- noon’s outing. It is probable that the launches will also touch at Toboga Island, which is en route, and on which is the famous Canal Sanita- rium, ard, pathfinder of the league, received yesterday by W. F. Saunders, secre- tary and general manager, conveyed the information that Howard and his party of eight are homeward bound on the steamer Abangarez, after a week on the canal. It is expected that Howard will land at New Orleans next Tuesday and be in St. Louis Wednesday, ready to give the February party the benefit of his experiences. Howard has. been bombarding fellow members of the Business Men’s League with telegrams, urging them to make their reservations for the February cruise withcut further delay, an ex- pense he might have avoided, had he known’ that not only is the Paris- mina filled, but there remain only five state rooms on the Abangarez, of the United Fruit Co. line. When these are gone, the Panamse Committee will then have five weeks of explaining why it will be necessary for them to refuse reservations to even their best friends. Among those who signed up the past week, were: Richard MeCulloch, vice- president and assistant-general mana- ger of the United Railways Co.; George D. Rosenthal, manager of the General Electric Co.; A. S. Partridge, railway supplies, and Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Drosten. McTague’s Open New Year’s Eve.

John Hodnett, one of the founders of the old St. Louis Times, which was sold in 1880 to the Republic, died Fri- day at his home, 5743 Terry avenue, at the ave of 75, and will be buried today in Calvarv Cemetery.

HE purpose of this Sale is to introduce an epoch-making invention, great in importance and far-reaching in effect— a genuine Corset achievement. The new NEMO “AUTO-MASSAGE” SELF-REDUCING CORSET not only reduces the figure by a comfortable. re- adjustment of the flesh, but actually reduces the flesh by scien- tific massage. This is accomplished by a new adjustment of the Self-Reducing Straps in combination with other newly-patented devices. : —- : This is not a new theory, but simply the successful appli- cation of a| scientific fact, well known to every physician and hygienist—that the persistent movement of the body against steady pressure will not only prevent the formation of fat, but:will cause fatty tissue to.be re-absorbed and removed when already formed. It is a perfect substitute for the hand-manipulation of a skillful masseuse. The truth of our original claim that the Nemo Self-Reducing” Corset positively reduces the abdomen has been proved beyond question. Millions of women who‘have worn and still wear these corsets are convinced of this. | The new NEMO “AUTO-MASSAGE” SELF-REDUCING Corset represents the highest perfection of the original Nemo Self-Reducing Idea; but it goes further—it causes the absorption of fat, thereby actually decreasing the deposit of fatty tissue and materially reducing both the weight and size of the figure in a comparatively: short time. Detailed description of this new device and its hygienic action is impossible in this space; but the picture shows its inevitable effect--symmetrical figure-reduction never before pos- sible, with the highest degree of comfort ever enjoyed by women of full form.

WIFE ACQUITTED OF KILLING ONE ~ TODYNAMITERS Tveitmoe, Johannsen, and Munsey Arrested in Los Angeles Charged With Violating Federal Law by Transporting Nitroglycerin in California.

MRS. HARRIMAN AIDS IN GIVING $5000 BAIL

Former Business Agent, Mc- Namaras, McManigal, Kap- lan and Schmidt Also Ac- cused—Penalty Is Two Years or $10,000 Fine or Both.

By Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 30.—Three labor leaders of national prominence were indicted and arrested here today in the Government’s first round-up of men alleged to be connected with the so-called nation-wide dynamiting con- spiracy, which Federal grand juries be- gan investigating here ...u4 in Indlanap- cGlis directly after the McNamara broth- crs made their confession on Dec. 1. The men taken into custody are Olaf ‘Aveitmoe, secretary-treasurer of the ‘California State Building Trades Ceun- cil and head of the Asiatic Dxclusion League; Anton Johannsen, organizsr of the State Building Trades Council, and J. E. Munsey, head of the Salt Lake City Local Union of Bridge and Struct- ural Iron Workers, of which John J. McNamara, now serving a 16-year sentence in San Quentin prison, was in- ternational secretary and treasurer at the time of his confession. Those ar- rested are charged with having con- spired to transport nitroglycerin and other explosives from one state to an- other in violation of the Interstate Com- merce laws. EK. A. Clancey, formerly business agent of the Structural Iron Workers’ Union in San Francisco, was charged with the same offense in the same indictment, but ha@® not vet been arrested. MeNamaras Again Indictpd. In a@@ition to these four, five other men Were named in the indictment— Ortie McManigal, confessed accomplice of the McNameras and chief agent of the Fe%oral grad jury in gathering evi- cenee; the two f/{eNamara brothers, and David Kaplan (1d one Schmidt, the al- leged confederates of James B. McNa- mara in the blowing up of the Los Angers Times building. Tvyeltmoe. Johannsen and Munsey ob- tained bail in the sum of $5000 each late today, after having been held prisoners in the United States Marshal’s office five heurs. Lecompte Davis, one of the MeNamara defense attorneys; Mrs. Job liarriman, wife of another one of the at- torneys who represented the McNa- maras, and John Murray, who formerly edited a labor union publication here and who now is a farmer near Los An- geles, acted as bondsmen. Edward A. Regan, Deputy United States Attorney, approved the bonds and agreed with Attorney Job Harriman, who represented the accused men, that the arraignment should not take place before Tuesday. Tveitmoe persistently refused to make any statement. Johannsen excused himself from talk- ing by declaring he had “had a falling out with Uncle Sam." Munsey also was reticent. Harriman stated, however, that the men probably would remain in Los Angeles until their arraignment. A. I. McCormick, United States Dis- trict Attorney, declared positively that the Government's investigation into the aileged national dynamite conspiracy was by no means ended. Grand Jury's Werk Not Done.

“The grand jury's probe is not fin- ished by any means,’’ McCormick stated. | “While the term of the present Federal | grand jury will end Jan. 6, there is no)! law which prohibits the members of it | from being sworn into service in the same capacity if they are wanted. Even if they are not, another grand jury would take up the work.”’ McCormick intimated that, besides con- tinuing the investigation into the ille-

gal transportation of explosives, the | grand jury might take up alleged mis- use of the mails to further the ends.) of the alleged conspirators. McCormick said the indictments re- turned today involved only crimes which were alleged to have been committed in the Southern District of California. He declined to say whether the naming of | McManigal in the indictment meant that ! the confessed dynamiter would be kept

ness instead of being taken to In- dianapolis. The specific case charged against the alleged conspirators Is the transporta- tion of explosives in connection wit! the dynamiting of the Llewellyn Iron Works here Dec..25, 1910. At that time the Fed- eral laws are said to have been broken by McManigal's bringing explosives here from Riverside, Cal., as a part of an in- terstate trip from Chicago. The conviction of any of the persons ) the penitentiary or a fine of $10,000,

WONT LET SLIP NO. 2 FOR WOM SHE KILLED NO. Woman Who Shot Her First Hus- band Proposes to Fight Di- vorce of Second.

KILLED HIM IN A SLEEPER

Then She Married ‘‘the Other Man’’ and Now He Wants a Divorce.

Special to the Post-Disnatch BLOOMINGTON, IIL, Dec. E. Scott, a well-known young business man of this brought suit against Mrs. Scott, which he makes many startling allega- tions. One accusation is that the wom- an killed her first husband in a Pullman sleeper after she had secured a divorce from him, Mrs. Scott holds her second husband responsible for her homicidal act and proposes to fight the present case. Scott and his wife make serious charges. In his divorce bil] Scott avers that he was married in Denver, Jan. 21, 1910: He that under 30. —Lloyd city, has Vera Prosser in alleges the union was brought about his part as to his wife’s character. Al- though he provided every comfort and luxury that his means would afford, he Says that he was subjected to cruelties by his wife which finally became un- bearable and forced him to seek legal separation. Allegations by Wife. An allegation by his wife that he spent $5000 of her money is emphatically denied and he insists that her supposed fortune is a -myth. He cites in his bill for divorce just filled here that on Aug. 8 last she threatened to kill him and at the same time .caused his arrest on a fictitious charge, alleging larceny of her dila- monds and other jewelry. At the time the warrant was procured, he says, she had the jewels secreted and later produced them. She then began sending to him through the mails a series of “Black Hand” letters which threatened his life, ac- cording to his declaration. On Dec. 28 last, at Princeville, Ill., he says, she made the statement that “he would never return to Bloomington alive.’’ The letters containing threats against Scott’s life were turned over to the postoffice authorities and an effort made to obtain her arrest through illegal use of the mails. A warrant was refused. Mrs. Scott, who is 27 years old, good- looking, and rather distinguished, 1s stopping at a leading hotel. She dis- cussed freely the merits of her case. She produced a trunk full of letters from Scott to her and also numerous news- paper clippings which gave the details of the shooting affray tn which she killed her first husband, June 1, 1910, while they were in a Pullman sleeper near Libby, in the northwestern section of Montana. “T¥ad it not been for Lloyd Scott,” she declared, ‘‘I never would have killed Mr. Prosser. After enduring the troub- les and notoriety which resulted from the shooting, I do not intend to let slip the man who was really the cause of it all. “When we first met, me marked attentions and libeled my husband’s character to “ie.

So distressed was she over the fading of her romance that she refused to tell her maiden name, hoping that her in- and brother, in Chicago, to marry Fisk, valid mother who begged her not would not learn of her mistforune. Left Her Penniless. Weeping silently in her room at the Oregon Hotel, Seventeenth and Market streets, she told a Post-Dispatch report- er that Fisk had, on their honeymoon, borrowed $125 which she had saved and that she was penniless. He disguised his borrowings, she said, with a jaunty air and with phrases which she did not well understand, such as ‘“‘victim of cir- cumstances’ and ‘“pecuniarily embar- rassed.’”’ Before asking her for money, she said, he would tell her how fortunate she was ‘“‘to be married to a millionaire,”’ and described the automobiles, furs and jewelry that would be hers when “the great Fisk estate’ was settled. “The important events of my mar- riage came two weeks apart,” she said “Four weeks ago today I was introduced to him at a moving picture show in Chi- cago. A fortnight ago today I married him. Today he was arrested as a forger. Talked of $1,000,000. ‘When I first met him I thought him very attractive, and when he asked per- mission to call I gave him my ad- dress. He called nearly every evening and talked about the $1,000,000 coming to him from the ‘Fisk estate.” My mother, whe is bedridden, and my brother, who is older than I, disliked him and warned me against him. But I belleved he was telling the truth and consented to mar- ry him. ‘We were married by a Baptist min- ister in Chicago. Then Mr. Fisk in- sisted that we should go and live with my married sister. Last Saturday he told he had to go to St. Louis to eonsult with his attorneys about property at Pacific, Mo. A few later he wrote and asked me to him, but sent me no money. I had pay my own fare.”’ She related that Friday her husband came to her with a Market street mer- chant who had cashed a draft of $5 for him. The merchant was angry, she said, but her husband was laughing. “Just let me have $5 for this fellow,’’ she declared he said. ‘‘This draft is good as gold, but he doesn’t think so.’”’ She gave him the money, she said. “Friday night,’’ she continued, ‘he told me he had to go to New York on business, and I went with him to th: Relay Station, in Fast St. Louis. There he said he had forgotten his suit case and had to xo back to the hotel after it. I have since learned that he had not paid his bill of $34 and that the hotel was.holding the baggave. He borrowed $4 and went away, telling me to wait for fim. “I sat In the and waited all Friday night and nearly all dav Satur- day. Then I called up Mrs. Andrew McClellan, manager of the Oregon Ho- tel, and she instructed me how to find my way back. I had a terrible time finding the hotel. When I got there a policeman was waiting for me and took me to headquarters, where I! found my husband a prisoner. “I have given him up absolutely. I can't go back home after this disgrace. I shall stay in St. Louis and try to find work.’’ Mrs. Fiske is 25 years old and a slen- der blonde, with light blue hair and blue eyes. Fisk is of the same age.

There was no sign of disorder; no in- dication that among the 1400 diners were any who had come with a purpose of introducing a disturbance in the ban- hall of the peace champions. ie were many rumors of the pres- en of such disturbers, but if they were there, the strong showing of the police. quelled any untoward desires in their breasts. Prominent Men There. Among those at the table with resident including the speakers of the eyening, Andrew Carnegie, Oscar S. Straus, former Ambassador to Turkey; fdérmer United States Senator Charles A. ‘Towne and Henry Clews, with Gov- érnor-elect Earle Brower of Mississippi, Bishop David H. Greer of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church, Raoul Dandu- rand, chairman of the Interparliamen- tary Group, Canadian Parliament, and Inited States Senator O’Gorman of New York.

Answers Roosevelt. President Taft in his speech answered xint for point every attack that Col. Kooosevelt had made upon the arbitra- fion treaties. The President emphatical- by declared that there was no reason @hy questions of nationa] honor should Bot be settled by an internatiinal tri- @tinal, nor was there any reason why vital, the most vital, national question Should not be referred to the same -tri- bwnal, When the Presfdgnt was introduced by Toastmaster Gri’yes, the band struck tii’ “The Star-Spangled Banner,” after Which Mr. Taft ‘begsdp his speech by siying: “T am glad ‘to be at this vant peace jubilee. There has be@n some conversa- tion here tonight which I did not un- derstand. Some protests that were wade were too elabérate. We have eard nothing of it on the Potomac: the the movement > I look into the bright eves of the Adies here, and their bright é¢yes en- fitice their political prestige, I cannot “Mieve that there were any. creases that needed smoothing out. OfThis banquet was moved by the de- sire to promote peace throughout the World. Now I am in favor of peace and of getting it In the most direct way. It ieenot enough to desire peace. Some- thing must be done to obtain it. I can SUu¢cgest a very direct way of promot- peace in one corner of the world. n South Africa, I am giad to say, that in recent years the countries have shown a marked increase in the stabil- ity of their Government. bids Touches on Canal. >*'his, Iam sorry to say, has not prov true of the five little Central Ameri wuntries, in which we have recently yme very much interested because gf.the digging of the Panama Canal.

The relation of nation to nation, the responsibility of a more os I am glad to be at this banquet. d powerful nation to a weaker ane are points which perhaps have never been brought home to us. New revdlutions in Central America have been the most profitable and interesting of profes- - pions. “But when this Government took charge of the custom house of Bante Domingo, where that Government collects its only real taxes under an angement by which the national debt | Sradually to be liquidated, while at Same time we gave the Government Certain per cent of the receipts to keep felf going, the business of revolution ased to be 80 profitable or interest- No Money Left. "Phe reason was that there was no money in it. The treaty under We undertook this arrangement @ us no powers in the Government, and only one right was Stipulated, and that was the right to protect our col- lecting agents.

All Nationg Ready. “All of the nations are armed and all have to bear heavy burdens of taxa- tion. In Europe I eould not overstate the burden of war taxation to pay for ships and soldiers. The nations will not disarm voluntarily. They maintain thelr armaments for safety in the fear that should they disarm some other power would impose upon their unprotected state. “Now an international court of arbi- tration would be a certain method for settling all disputes and under interna- tional arbitration the disputes would be settled by the best possible method. Ar- bitration has been useful in the past and ic will be in the future. The reasons that I favor these peace treaties is be- cause I consider them the first step to- ward the establishment of such a court. “There have been arbitration treaties in the past. But it is not enough that e treaty should refer to or govern a single instance or type of case. The treatiés must be of such a character as to combine into a court which will cover all cases. “It has, been urged that questions of national honor should not be included in arbitration treaties, that they are not arbitrable questions. I do not see why questions of honor between nations should not be arbitrated just as much as any other question. In fact, even greater is the necessity that such ques- tions should be referred to a third party. ‘‘And the more vital the. question is to a nation the greater the necessity for arbitrating it. Refers to Speech, ‘Some months ago I stated in a speech that I believed questions of national honor should be arbitrated and I am not here tonight to make that statement back. I am here to repeat it. with even eater emphasis. ‘If there was ever a question whlch should be referred to a court it is the question of national honor. Why, even this theory was recognized in the code duello. “Two men could not go out and shoot at each other. They had to secure sec- onds, third parties, to look out for their interests. These seconds met and po- litely discussed the question of whether # man’s‘ honor had been really insulted and what could with honor be offered as an amend. “I believe civilization depends for its progress mainly upon its sense of hu- mor. It was this sense of humor which laughed the duello out of existence. And so in time it will be the sense of humor which will laugh wars out of place. When our armies go forth to war and come back beaten by superior batallions we say, ‘God was not with us.’ “But when our armies come back tri- umphant, no matter how superior they may have been to the enemy, why then ‘God is always with us, and so the right triumphed.’ “I ask you, is referring a question of nctional honor to a great international tribunal more ridiculous than going to war about it and letting might decide the nicer points of honor. Minority Likes War. “War comes rather from the minority that are heard than from the majority that are silent. The common laboring Class is most deeply interested in set- tling controversies between nations without war. One objection some of the opponents of arbirtation have is that the President will have the power to make appointments. The President also made answer to the charge of inconsistency lodged against advocates of the arbitration treaties, who did not favor arbitration in the difficulty between the United States and Russia. “Those of us who are in favor of these treaties have been criticised as inconsistent because we did not invoke arbitration jn the recent difference with Russia,” said Mr. Taft. “I am not en- tirely willing to speak as frankly as I mignt of that, because my tongue is tie. in a slight way by what we hope for in future negotiations. All that 1 can say is that if you will read the great argument of Elihu Root on the question of why the treaty should be terminated, and why arbitration would not do, I am content to stand on his exhibit and explanation of that. “The truth {ts that the treaty itself contains contractual obligations on the part of the United States to recognize the doctrine of nonexpatriation and rec- Ognize the right of Russia to say that the naturalized Russian citizen in the United States should not lose their al- legiance to Russia and could be pun- ished for becoming naturalized citizens. “Now that was contained on the face of the treaty. It was in accordance with the doctrine that prevailed in the United States and that prevailed in Russia in 1832. “The doctrine had been departed from by statute in the United States, but it remained in the treaty and we cannot, so far as a foreign country is concerned, in contractual dealings with her repeal & treaty by statute. “Hence it was stated in the notice of termination of the treaty, made in ac- cordance with the terms of the treaty, that the treaty was so old that it was not responsive to the views of the two nations. “Now why, therefore, should we arbi- trate a treaty of that sort, in which we were met first and foremost by the prop- osition that, 20 or 30 or 40 years ago, we repudiated it as an international mat- ter? “Therefore I say that the inconsistency that is supposed to exist in our failure to invoke arbitration there does not ex- ist, and I commend to those who think it does a close perusal of Mr. Root’s argument and of the treaty itself.’’ Answering other criticisms of treaties, the President continued: “There are certain questions that it is said that we would have to arbitrate under this treaty; we would have to ar- bitrate the Monroe doctrine. “I say it is not a justifiable question under the treaty. Prof. Bassett Moore, who is perhaps the greatest interna- tional authority we have in this coun- try, #ays the very same thing. Sir Ba- ward Grey says 80 on the floor of Par- Hament. So I think we are rather safe Then the question is whether we should arbitrate the right of anybody.to come into this country against our will. the

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Demo- cratic members of the Missouri dele- gation in Congress are beginning to worry about the stand they will be compelled to take in the controversy between Speaker Clark and Former Gov. Joseph W. Folk. Their panicky feeling has been in- creased by the stand Senator Stone has taken in _ openly supporting Clark. Many of the members consider themselves pledged to Folk because they were members of the 1910 State convention which indorsed his candi- dancy for the nomination. Opinions of the controversy expressed by the Missouri Congressmen when ques- tioned by the Post-Dispatch corres- pondent were as follows: SENATOR JAMES A. REED: a consider that I am pledged to Gov. Folk, and that pledge is as binding on me as my indorsement on the back of a check would be. The question seems to be growing acute, but I trust it will be settled amicably be- fore any damage is done to the party. It is a matter between the two men and it appears that they alone can settle it emicably If a ‘Primary should be held, 1. do. not know where the funds for its expense | It is estimated that such a primary would cost about | ATIVE JAMES T. LLOYD: “IT will not discuag the mat- e er in any way.” Asked jf he did not sid@r that he was pledged to Gov. members of that convention, were we not?” REPRESENTATIVE JOSHUA AL- EXANDER: “I am pledged to Folk. The only ‘way I see of settling the question is by holding an open pri- mary. It would not cost much. If a primary is held it should be open to any man who cared totry. It would be a good joke if some dark horse carried off the plum.” REPRESENTATIVE CHARLES F. BOOHER: “I attended the convention and was opposed to instructing dele- gates for any man. I always have been opposed to such _ instructions, but as a member of the convention I feel that I am pledged to Gov. Folk. I hope they will get together and set- tle the question between §them- selves.” REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPH J. RUSSELL: ‘I hope you don’t try to make any trouble about this thing. I am so far from home that I have not taken much interest in politics and I do not think I will go home to vote anyhow,” he continued. “I do not care to. commit myself any further and I would rather not say anything at ath,” ._ REPRESENTATIVE THOMAS IL, RUBEY: ‘I’m mighty. busy,” to every question put he replied with a grunt. REPRESENTATIVE WALTER IL. HENSLEY: “I was a member of that convention, and of course that pledges me in a way to Gov. Folk,” “Do you consider that pledge bind- ing on you today?” “Well, in a way I do, but I would rather,not discuss the case,” he re- plied. “IT have a pretty god idea who I In- tend to vote for,’ he continued. “But I do not care to name him just now.” TURKISH CABINET RESIGNS OFFICE Entanglements. Ensuing From Italian War Force Ministry to Withdraw. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 30.—The Cabinet resigned today in consequence of the obstruction of the opposition, the members of which absented themselves from the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, which rendered impossible a discussion of the proposed modification of the constitution. The proceedings of the chamber, owing to the lack of a quorum, were of a formal character. The Grand Vizier, who was accompanied by. his” entire Cabinet, made a long statement explain- ing that constitutional changes were necessary for the establishment of a strong government able to carry out the reforms required by the. country. He quoted an article printed in a French newspaper stating that if Italy was able to prosecute its African ven- ture successfully it was because of Tur- key’s international quarrels. The Grand Vizier and ministers then withdrew to deliberate on the situation. After an hour's absence, they returned and the Vizier announced the decision of the ministry to resign. He said he felt that the Government did not pos- sess a sufficient majority, and added that the responsibility for the situa- tion thus created devolved on the oppo- sition. RICHESON HAS NEW CELL IN BOSTON JAIL Larger Quarters Assigned to Prisoner After Attendant’s Report. BOSTON, Dec. 8%0.—Sheriff Seavey changed Richeson’s room today. After an attendant had been watching the prisoner, it was considered that the cell he has been occupying was too small. The clergyman was changed from ‘“‘mur- derers’ row’’ to a larger and lighter cell on the balcony. Attorney Morse is of the opinion that the change of surroundings will help the recovery of the pastor.

ANABE Coroner, Who Declares Woman Was Slain, Says It Now Is Up to Police — HER ENGAGEMENT BROKEN Man Said to Have Been Named in Physician’s Letter Denied » Love Affair. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 30.—The verdict of Coroner Charles O. Dur- bam, that “Dr. Helene Knabe was murdered by some ‘unknown person Or persons’ on the night of Oct. 23, in her apartments in Indianapolis,” is virtually a challenge to the police department of the city, which from the start has been lukewarm on the murder theory and apparently has dropped investigation of one of the most mysterious deaths that has oc- curred in this State. The Coroner, after weeks of in- quiry, comes out boldly in his position and he has filed a long report out- lining his course. He made his in- vestigation in connection with the police -and independently. He_ is strong in his declaration that there is not the slightest ground for a theory of suicide. He makes public much evidence that had not .been given out before. The report contains 50 typewritten pages. At the time of the murder the actions of Miss Katherine McPherson, the doc- tor’s assistant who discovered the crime, and Miss Augusta Knabe, a cousin of the slain woman, who was the first person to respond to the telephone calls for help sent by Miss McPherson, were criticised. These two women were alone with the body for some time be- fore anyone else arrived, but Coromer Durham in his report gives full cred- ence to their statements that they dia nothing to conceal evidence. Absolutely no trace of the weapon that cut the woman’s throat could be found and the theory was held that these two women might have made away with the knife. Both, however, denied doing anything of the sort. Cor- oner Durham points to the absence of a knife or weapon as proof that the woman was murdered. In the last paragraph of his report the Coroner uses significant language when he says, ‘‘from the facts obtained in evidence and otherwise gathered, there were many happenings and com- plications in the life of Dr. Helene Knabe that might have led to misun- derstandings and thereby pronipted a motive for murder.’’ The Coroner and the police have information . regarding Dr. Knabe’s private life which they rever have made public. * Quarrels and other intimate affairs came to the attention of the Coroner and; the police in their investigation. These matters, the Coroner says in onswer to inquiries as to why he did not incorporate them in his verdict, were 1.0t sufficiently definite in the absence cof police action, to justify him in mak- ing them public officially. Dr. Knabe is said to have written a letter to a friend just before her death, telling of a broken engagement. The police have a copy of this letter. In it she mentioned the name of the man, but on his denial that he ever had paid at- tention to Dr. Knabe, nothing was done in that direction. Most friends of the physician never knew she contemplated marriage. “My report speaks for itself,’’ -safd the Coroner. “I have given out all the information that I am justified in siving out and now it is up -to the detective department. It seems to me that I have given much new matter for them to work on. I have determined the man- ner of death, and, to my mind, conclu- sively.”’ Body Nude When Found. The Coroner begins with the state- ment of the woman’s nude body being found on her bed in her apartment, with her throat cut almost from ear to ear, on the morning of Oct. 24. The discovery was made by the office as- sistant, Miss Katherine McPherson, who went to work shortly after 8 a. m. The next person to arrive was Miss Augus- ta Knabe, the cousin, and these two were alone with the body until physi- cians, acquaintances of Dr. Knabe, the police and Coroner arrived. The police complained bitterly of this, but all efforts to break down the statements of the women that they had seen no knife and had removed no evi- dence were unavailing. The body was on top of the bedding and a stained pillow was found on the chest and part of the abdomen. Ir jlater was pulled down by one of the first witnesses. The bedding was carried toward the head of the bed. The woman's head was thrown well back and was pin- ioned under the cross iron at the head of the bed. The wound, which was deep, was in- flicted while the body was in a re- cumbent position. This was regarded as proof of murder. A chair near the head of the be? held the clean clothing the woman ex- pected to don the next day and it was undisturbed. Three persons testified they heard sharp screams from the direction of the apartment of Dr. Knabe about mid- right on the night in question, and Jef- ferson Haynes, the janitor at the apart- ment house, swore that after the screams he heard walking and talking in the Knabe apartment. Still another witness told of seeing a man leave ah alley at the rear of the apartment build- ing shortivy after he had heard the screams. These things, the Coroner held, indicated murder, Dr. Knabe came to this country from Ruegenwaldermunde, Germany, where her father, it is said, was of the no- bility. He had separated from her : other and the family had been broken up. Inquiries by the police in Germany drew the information that Dr. Knabe bad supported an uncle there. One the- ory was that the crime had its incep- its subur¥se ts greater than that | tion in @ foreign feud. Here is a brief history of the cam- paigns of publicity for the public good that have been waged by ‘the Post-Dispatch in the year now clas- ing, with a record of successes as well ag defeats; defeats which may prove to be only temporary it is to hoped: CAMPAIGN FOR THE NEW CHARTER N order that an intelligent vote might be cast at the election to be held Jan. 81, on the adoption of a new charter for St. Louis, the Post-Dis- patch, continuing its 1910 policy, pub- lished full information, analyzing the proposed charter, comparing it -:with the old charter, and giving 27 unan- swerable reasons for its adoption. These ‘27 Reasons for Voting for the New Charter’ were republished from time to time until the date of election. Many articles by noted experts, in- cluding a six-column statement by Mr. F. W. Lehmann, Solicitor-General of the United States and Chairman of the Board of Freeholders charged with the preparation of the new charter, were printed, reviewing the history of the charter and showing conclusively how St. Louis would be benefited by the change. One of the best features of the new charter was the power it gave the city to control all public franchises and public utilities in the interest of the people. The charter was beaten. EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS INSURED N extra session of Congress being A urgent, to obtain legislation to re- duce the cost of living, the Post- Dispatch in conjunction with the New York World obtained and published opin- ions of congressmen, senators, g0v- ernors of states and territories, mayors of cities, presidents of boards of trade, editors and publishers, and hundreds of other public men, on the subject. It asked: ‘Shall tariff reform be post- poned until 1912? Shall‘reduction of the cost of living be postponed until 1912?°’ Answers were received and published from legislators representing 11 states; governors of 14 states, mayors of 108 cities, editors of 118 publications, presi- dents of 143 colleges and 2317 represen- tative citizens, regardless of party. The effect was enhanced by the use of the celebrated ‘‘Empty Market Basket’’ car- toon. On Feb. 26 a full page, in display type, headed “Give Us An Extra Ses- sion Mr. Taft,’’ appealing to the voters to sign the petition published from day to day and placed in all the drug stores of the city, was printed. Hundreds of these petitions were signed and for- warded to the President. President Taft called an extra session to pass his bill for reciprocity with Canada, and at that session Congress passed not only the reciprocity bill, but several tariff measures calculated to reduce the cost of living. President Taft vetoed the tariff bills. THE SMOKE NUISANCE OF THE CITY ABATED ONLINUING its 1910 policy, the Post-Dispatch printed, for 112 suc- cessive days, pictures showing violations of the smoke ordinance, for the information of the Smoke Inspector. As a result, the smoke nuisance has been greatly abated, hundreds of smoke consumers having been placed in boiler plants and on locomotives {n the Ter- minal yards. MUNICIPAL COURT BILL FOR POOR MAN BILL being introduced ifn the State A Legislature for the creation of mu- nicipal courts in the leading cities, the Post-Dispatch strongly urged its passage as a measure that ‘‘would give the poor man a court in which he could go with assurance of a square deal. It would complete the city’s judicial scheme and place the poor litigant on the same level as the rich.”’ CUT RATE IN GAS FOR CITY ADVOCATED S a result of the Post-Dispatch’s A publicity carnpaign in 1907, contin- ued this year, and which had re- sulted in an enabling act in the Mis- sour! Legislature and a city ordinance to regulate lighting rates and create a Public Service Commission, the com- mission filed a report recommending a cut in rates of 2% cents per kilowatt and other benefits to consumers. COMPROMISE OF MILL-TAX DEFEATED N March of this year an attempt was made by the United Railways Co. to compromise the city’s claim of $1.750,000 for back taxes. The company proposed that it should pay $1,000,000 in full settlement, on the condition that its franchises on its 35 different lines of ee Rheumatism Cure FREE! reatest Pe itesd ever diseovered Wastemo, the rox LB. penn oy ore See ase we will gen a Chapters in the Post-Dispatch Record for 1917: Campaign for a New City Charter. cme Extra Session of Congress to Reduce Cost of Living.

The company also proposed to build some insignificant extensions, es- tablish downtown loops, and give unl- versal transfers already required by law. Publishing full particulars of the suggested compromise, the Post-Dis- patch strenuously opposed it. It proved that the city would lose tax revenues amounting to about $17,000,000, which would accrue under the tax law; that the compromise would be “a complete surrender of all the rights and powers which St. Louis has striven to estab- lish for the control and progressive im- provement of street railway transporta- tion to meet the needs of the public;”’ that the ordinance to authorize the compromise was “in every vital provi- sion and in the wording of each in the interests of the corporation and against the interests of the city; that the adop- tion of the ordinance will block al! plans for adequate urban transportation in St. Louis for 37 years.’ ‘In its en- tirety the ‘compromise’ delivers the city bound and gagged into the hands of the street railway monopoly for more than a generation to come,”’ Under this exposure, after a brief and vigorous campaign, the bill was defeat- e@.by the Public Service Commission, reporting in accordance with the Post- Dispatch’s findings in the case. $500 PAID FOR A SLOGAN FOR THE CITY ty April 3, the Post-Dispatch of- fered $250 for the best phrase advertising the advantages of St. Louis. had been submitted.

Atwood an- VW nounced his intention to make a flight from some Western city to the Atlantic Coast, the Post- Dispatch offered him $1000 to make St. Louis his starting point and to make a flight over the city and the river, for the public benefit, This he did, on Aug. 14, resulting in about 300,000 persons witnessing one of the most remarkable feats in aviation accomplished this year. FULL EXPOSURE OF THE CITY HOSPITAL SCANDAL R. MORFIT, then Hospital [) Commissioner, admitted that the conditions at the hospital and other public eleemosynary insti- tutions were intolerable, as charged by the Post-Disptch, the paper de- manded a complete change in the staff. “The inmates,” said Dr. Mor- fit in a public interview, “are treat- ed as mere animals—housed and clothed, it is true, but with no more attention than a horse in a stable.” The remedy proposed by the Hospital Board was an increase in salaries amounting to $220,000. The Post-Dis- patch denounced this as absolutely in- adequate to meet the conditons, and continued to expose the dreadful abuses under which the patients and inmates of the institutions suffered. A new Hospital Commissioner was appointed and sweeping changes are in progress for the betterment of the public wards, TAFT SENDS HIS THANKS BY TELEGRAPH URING the year the Post-Dis- [) patch made a nation-wide canvass of public opjnion with regard to the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada, and in every way urged its adoption. When, on July 22, the bill passed the Senate by a vote of 53 to 27, President Taft telegraphed the Post-Dispatch and the New York World: “I thank you for your con- gratulations on the passage of the reciprocity treaty and for the assist- ance which your papers rendered in presenting the arguments in favor of the pact.” SAVING THE BABIES IN HOT WEATHER HE summer was a record-breaker EE for heat and sudden changes in temperature, so that it was a matter of life and death to provide all the pure milk and free ice required to save the babies in the tenement districts, Strenuous work was done, resulting in the raising of a fund of $4972.91—breaking all records. Inci- dentally, the Post-Dispatch’s cam- paign against impure milk succeeded in arousing the State and city author- ities, causing the arrest and convic- tion of numerous dealers who prac- ticed fraud in the sale of milk. . LIBEL SUIT WON IN , THE SUPREME COURT. HE decision of the Missouri Su- - preme Court in favor of the Post- Dispatch in the Cook libel suit, in November, was hailed by thinking men everywhere as a victory for free speech and a free press, the court stating, as it did that “it is the duty of a public newspaper to tell the people the facts that it may discover about public ques- tions, and it is its duty and right to draw inferences from the facts known, for the benefit of the public.”’ “BRING THE NATIONAL CONVENTION TO ST. LOUWIS”’ OINTING out that St. Louis is ‘the ~ convention city,’’ the Post-Dis- patch on Nov. 20 offered to give $10,000 to a fund to bring both or either of the national conventions &o this city. On its being discovered that Chicago had been selected as the location for the Republican convention, The Post- Dispatch offered the entire $10,000 to a fund to bring the Democratic conven- tion to this city. To aid the movement, the Post-Dispatch sent telegrams to every one of the national committeemeén of both parties, urging the advantages of St. Louis and asking them to wire their preference and given reasons there- for. It published the answers, with com- prehensive facts and figures showing that St. Louis has hotel accommodations for 10,000 visitors and is in every way prepared to make a national convention a success. It urged its readers to write to the committeemen to make St. Louis their choice. TWELTH NATIONAL CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL HE 1911 Post-Dispatch Festival was f the biggest and most enjoyable of these annual exhibitions of the hospitality of the people of St. Louls in behalf of the thousands who might otherwise spend a joyless Christmas. No less than 11,000 women and children were feasted, entertained and given suitable gifts at the Coliseum. Over 2000 homeless men were guests at the dinner at the Midday Lunchroom. In 2400 homes, chicken dinners were serv- ed to needy families from the baskets sent out by the festival committee. The splendid entertainment at the Col- iseum was opened by the appearance of the Post-Dispatch Weather Bird, who introduced Santa Claus to the waiting thousands. It was a time of unstinted merriment and good will. In the optn- ion of Speaker Champ Clark of the House Of Representatives, who was present, this festival was the greatest demonstration of Christmas hospitality he had ever seen.

Permanent headquarters have been established by the committee, which met yesterday. The committee, at pres- ent a small working body, consists of George H. Moore, chairman: William H. Allen, F. H. Fricke, William L. Igoe, Edward J. McCullen, Patrick J. Rohan, Moses N. Sale, Dr. John H. Stmon, Guy A. Thompson and William F. Woerner. The Organization Committee’s work,. which has the approval of the State and Democratic city central committees, will be conducted with vigor, according to Chairman Moore, commencing Mon- day. The work will be directed from room 1007 Times Building.. The ad- vistory committees in the wards will consist of at least five members and, besides selecting the precinct captains, they will be expected to furnish all data in respect to appointments and general organization business. Under the plan the precinct captains of a ward, by a vote of a majority of their whole number, and subject to the Citizens’ Committee, may select a chair- man of the precinct organization to be known as the ward chairman. He Is to have general : captains and of matters generally in his ward, subject to direction and ‘control of the Citizens’ Organization Committee. The ward chairman ifs in no case to be a precinct | captain or a member of the. Democratie City Central Committee, nor of the Democratic Citizens’ Organiza- tion, but he shall at times make report to the latter committee, on request. The precinct captains are to select their block men, who are to have charge of streets within their precincts. It is the purpose of the Citizens’ Com- mittee, through this organization, to provide joint meetings of Democrats through the ward clubs and to provide speakers for these meetings. Chairman Moore said of the Citizens’ Committee plan: “It is solely a citi- zens’ movement looking to the success of the broad principles of real democ- racy. It is the aim of the organization to take into its confidence the vast masses of citizens who care not so much for men as they do for measures and principles.” WOMAN AND BABY IN FIRE Mrs. Adolph Mueller and her 8-day-old baby were carried from the Mueller home in Affton, Mo., yesterday morning during the course of a fire that de- stroyed the house.

St. patch, the civic and busi citizens in recent years. To make the city more beautiful, place for its citizens; to modernize, sy to initiate and execute improvements t improvement of the city. At the beginning ‘of 1912 many nient St. Louis can by united effort direction during the coming year. R several years the Civic League Fis been trying to promulgate a city plan which would harmon- ize and beautify the city—smooth out the rough, uneven places, as it were, and make the city a symmetrical whole, with every part dovetailing nicely into every other part. The league created a voluntary City Plan Association, formed somewhat af- ter the plan of the City Plan Associa- tion of Chicago, comprised of 100 leading citizens who would pay out of their own pockets the expense of devising a practical and modern city plan. The association has held many meetings and spent much money investigating the subject and drafting a plan of general improvements. The result of this movement was the creation by the city of a City Plan Com- mission, comprised of six city officials and nine citizens named by the Mayor, whose duty it is to prosecute the work of devising a practical city plan. The City Plan Commission ordinance was approved in March, 1911. The ex-officio members are the President of the Coun- cil, Speaker of the House of Delegates, President of the Board of Public Im- provements, Street Commissioner, Park Commissioner and Building Commission- er. The nine citizen members of the commission serve without pay. The commission is charged with the duty of preparing a comprehensive plan for the future improvement and com- mercial development of ie city. The specific projects are included in the scope of work outlined in the ordinance for the commission. PARK SYSTEM PROJECTED FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER FRONT NE of the biggest projects con- t) templated in the city plan is the improvement of the Mississippi River front. Since the decline of water traffic the river front has been neg- lected. Most of the buildings fronting on the river are old, blackened with smoke, and are in a more or less dilapi- dated condition. It has been suggested that the city ought to acquire a large area of the ground occupied by the old ramshackle buildings and convert it into a park, from which the beauty and grandeur of the river could be seen and enjoyed by the people. Other projects. are: Extension of streets and the supervi- sion of the opening of subdivisions. Improvement of surroundings of Union Station. A system of widening and opening various through streets so as to mak: the city more cohesive and less dis- jointed. Control of nuisances. A playground, park system. . “tter location of public buildings. Encouraging the location of manufac- turing establishments in designated dis- tricts. Extension of conduit district for wires. Extension of granitoid sidewalk dis- tricts, and for the regulation of same in the residence districts so as to pro- vide r r the planting of trees and for sufficient soil space to assure their growth. Such other improvements as will tend to make St. Louls a greater and more beaut..ul city. LEGISLATION WILL BE NEEDED TO INSURE SUGGESTED PLANS HE commission has _ investigated if every branch of the general sub- ject and is ready to suggest State and municipal legislation to carry out its recommendations. The commission has held regular meetings. Its work has been done principally through four com- mittees. To each committee subdlvisions of the general subject were assigned. One of the important subjects to which the commission has been devoting its at- tention is a charter amendment provid- ing for the issuance of bonds for street, sewer and other improvements. to sup- plant the present tax bill syste The charter which was voted upon last January contained a provision giving the its and boulevard

The tax bills are now issued against the property owner, who is re- quired to pay them in installments with- in six years, and taken in payment by contractors, who in turn, sell to banks and investors at a considerable dis- count. The faith and credit of the city is not back of them, and although they are a lien upon the property, they do not meet a ready sale. It is believed that the change in the tax -bill system can. be made by means of a charter amendment, and that it will result in a great saving to the tax- payer, as it will enable the city to get the work done cheaper. The city will assume no lability on the bonds. be- yond the limit of the tax bills. The Missouri Legislature has not del- egated to St. Louis the powers that have been granted to many other cities in its class. To carry out the great central parkway scheme proposed by the com- sembly of the State would be necessary. The central parkway was outlined by the City Plan Association before the creation of the City Plan Commission and is thus described: CREATION OF CENTRAL PARKWAY LONG BEEN PLAN 66° HE question of a fine thorough- 7 fare between the: logical heart of the city, at Grand avenue, near Olive, and the business district is one of vital importance to the proper growth of the city. Such an improve- ment would not -only form a much- needed trafic way, but by giving it proper scope would form a nucleus around which a general renovation and beautifying of the city might be started. “The tentative plan which has been worked out under the caption of ‘The Central Parkway,’ embodies some ideas which have been advanced before, but goes farther, we believe, than any of the former plans. It would seem to include in a most fortunate manner pro- visions for a number of much needed improvements, and by binding them into a unit, would have the added advantage of the enhancement of each by the ex- istence of the others. “These improvements which, it is sug- gested, should extend at least from Twelfth street to Grand avenue, near the present position of Chestnut street, would form a wide plaza for a public buildings group, with the present city hall and municipal courts asa nucleus for further city buildings; this being carried through to the Union Station includes, at once, the long-felt desire for a better gateway to the city, with proper and dignified connections to the business and hotel districts. “West of the Union Station a less width is maintained to a point beyona Jefferson avenue, where it continues along the present Lawton avenue at such width as can best be secured with ‘the least Jamage to existing buildings. Approaching Grand avenue, the park- way branches into Lindell and Forest Park boulevards, and the intervening spaces are occupied with open plazas around, and in which should be grouped buildings of a public and semi-public nature which, by reason of this most central location, would be convenient to all sections of the city. “The axis of the parkway, which, in the plan, cannot be carried west of Grand avenue, should be marked pby some important building of monumenta] character, such &s a,grand symphony hall or other similar edifice.’ TRAFFIC DEMANDS CREATION OF PLAZAS FOR REGULATION HE Street Department has assem- 7 bled data on the traffic. require- ments of the city for the present It has found that there is congestion at many points, which can be relieved only by the widening of the streets and the introduction of squares or plazas such as now exist at Third street and Washington ave- ne and at Broadway and Chouteau ave- nue.

great traffic arteries of the city to han- dle the east and west traffic that Is now largely congested on Washington avenue. To utilize Franklin avenue for this purpose it will be necessary to widen the street for five or six blocks. West of Ninth street, Franklin ave- nue is now one of the widest streets in and has no heavy grade, but from Ninth street to Third street it is very narrow, and will have to be widened sooner or later, in the opinion the city, of the Commission. During the past year the Municipal Assembly has passed ordinances for the widening of Locust street at Channing ivenue, where the automobile and other vehicular traffic is div erted from Lindell boulevard. A al: agonal cut will be made through the block between Locust street and Lindell boulevard, minimizing the street crossing dangers, and reducing the time of automobile traffic from the west end to the business center from a minute to two minutes. Under existing conditions the turn necessary for getting from Lindell boulevard into Locust street is sharp and dangerous, and there is constant danger of collisions between = stree- Cars and automobiles. The widening of Locust street at Thirteenth street is already assured by the passage = of the necessary ordinance. The widening of this street will still further reduce the time of a automobile trip from the west end to the business center, and minimize the danger of accidents.

At this point there is now one of the most dangerous curves for automobiles in the city. PLANS FOR GREAT SYSTEM OF PARKS TO CIRCLE THE CITY NE of the biggest features of the C) city plan is the outer park sys- tem. A constitutional amend- ment was submitted in 1910 authorizing the city to purchase lands for the country park and boulevard system, but it was defeated in the landslide against prohibition. The outer park and boulevard sys- tem contemplated in the amendment submitted last year consisted of a boulevard beginning in North St. Louis and extending to the western part of St. Louls county, skirting Creve Couer Lake and Meramec Highlands and touching the city again at the extreme south. It contemplated a magnificent park, to be owned and controlled by the city, at Creve Couer Lake, and enother al Meramec Highlands. Another park was contemplated at old i SET SS —____, Pee cea

The committee in its investigations found that ff the present rate of growth of St. Louis is maintained during the next 25 years the residential sections will extend at least four miles further into the county and will occupy a very considerable portion of the territory em- braced fIn-the reservation district pro- posed in the last constitutional amend- ment.

Kessler, consulting landscape architect, says: ‘St. Louis is now surely large enough to have impressed upon its citizens that the fast and slow mov- ing traffic of all streets impedes both ahd does not give to any one street the full use which might be made of its roadway surfaces. In the three principal directions, by means of distinct boulevards or by the selection of good streets, there should now be at least one street devoted to purély light vehicles. Street Commissioner Travilla has as- sembled a mass of information on the subject of traffic ways. His inspectors have. for months been taking a census of traffic at a number of downtown street intersections. The plain conclu- sions are that conditions between Mar- ket street and Franklin avenue, Fourth and Eighteenth streets can be vasily improved in a natural manner. Such a division of traffic as is practicable will be greatly to the present advantage of the several kinds of traffic. It is rap- idly becoming a vital necessity if the threatened congestion of the near future is to be avoided. WOULD HAVE SEPARATE WAYS FOR FAST AND SLOW TRAFFIC It is contended that there should be a division of heavy, slow traffic, of light rapid traffic and of street car traffic. Streets should be assigned so that heavy traffic will be practically isolated. Oth- er streets should be set apart for quick moving traffic, including automobiles. Other streets should be given up to street car traffic, except In so far as the actual business on those streets may demand the presence of vehicles. There is developing already a division of light traffic. Automobiles used .‘or passenger traffic are seeking Locust street west, while automobiles and wag- ons for light business traffic make al- most exclusive use of Chestnut street. This is to the advantage of both. As yet, however, there has been no assign- ment and no natura) drift of heavy traf- fic by trucks, stake wagons and vans to any one east and west thoroughfare. Up to the present time has been no natural division of t ¢ on north and south thoroughfares. That is@ «a problem to be solved in city planning.

CARPENTERS NOT 11) TAKE PART IN HAVLIN INQUIRY Mayor Will Deny Request That Three Members of Union Be Put on Committee.

deny the attorney that A. 8. Mayor Kreismann wil! request of George M. Mix, for the Carpenters’ Union, Reed, Frank J. Wondercheck and M. M. Michaels be included in the committee which will investigate and inspect Havlin’s Theater. Reed, Wondercheck and Michaels are the members of the Carpenters Union who, in a petition to the Mayor, set forth that the theater is in an unsafe condition following the reconstruction by the McKelvey Con- struction Co. of which Building Com- missioner McKelvey is an officer. The request was malled to the Mayor yesterday and the letter also expressed dissatisfaction with his action in asking McKelvey himself to investigate. Mayor Kreismann said yesterday that the others he had asked to make investigation would be sufficient the car- penters. r The Mayor sent McKelvey, Eames & tects, A. F.° Rudolph, of construction at the theater, N. Henley, chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau and Louis A. Cella, who has a controlling interest in the theater, ordering an investigation to deter- an mine nie the theater is in unsafe condiffon, as was alleged in Mayor Kreis- an without letters Friday to Young, archi- superintendent _ + charges forwarded to mann Wednesday. Not to Consider Demands. While an investigation was asked for from all these persons the Mayor in his letter to Cella, refers to the “official” investigation by McKelvey. Mayor Kreismann said yesterday that the demand of the union men that they be given an opportunity to testify in regard to the things which were con- tained in the charges would not be con- sidered unless the report of the present investigators was such as to warrant another more searching investigation. McKelvey announced that he would begin an investigation of the condition) of Havlin’s Theater on Tuesday. He said that he would take no part in the investigation himself, but that he had selected two architects and two engl- neers not connected with the city ad- ministration to make a report to him in the matter. He said that their re- port would be forwarded to the Mayor as his report. Besides the allegations that the the- ater is unsafe, charges made to the Mayor allege that-McKelvey is actively connected with the McKelvey Construc- tion Co., whtch did the reconstruction work. McKelvey has been requested by Mayor Kreismann to make reply to this part of the charges to him in writ- ing.

crimination. If it was confined to cer- tain streets, say Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Twelfth and Fourteenth, there would be immediate relief of present delays, it is believed. GRAVOIS AVENUE THE NATURAL ARTERY TO THE SOUTHWEST ICHARD McCULLOCH, vice-presi- ~x dent of the United Railways, points out that one of the chief utilitarlan advantages of a city plan may be “the correction of mistakes and oversights which have been made in the laying out of our streets and avenues.” To illustrate the bearing of such correc- tion upon transportation, McCulloch calis attention to what might-be done with Gravois avenue. 2 This is the principal road leading to the southwest and should be the great avenue oy which a community of 75,000 or 80,000 people would communicate with the center of the city. But Gravols road now begins at Eighteenth street. Coming toward the shopping and office center from Eighteenth’ street, McCulloch shows it is necessary to travel by a very circultous route, including several curves. The extension of Gravois road diagon- ally across three or four city blocks would bring it HWirectly to the Twelfth street bridge. This would require the condemnation of only a small amount of property. Treatment of the plaza and entrance to the Eads Bridge might be consid- ered a minor feature of city planning, but one of early accomplishment and of decided advance toward a better St.

Ex-Judge Mbdses N. Sale, one of tnd stockholders. night told a Pogt . Dispatch reporter that he was agaitist the plan, and does not think the propo- sition will carry. et W. F. Carter, president of the Mis- sguri-Lincoln Trust Co., and couniel for the Mercantile Trust Co., who. is- sued the cal] for the meeting, sald that he was a promoter of the proposed re- organization, and that in issuing the call, he merely made it possible for €#6 stockholders to decide for themselves 2 “Whether or not to reorganize. “The Board of Directors thought 1 prudent to submit the proposition A . the stockholders for approval,” he saldpu ‘and accordingly: it will be submitted, at the meeting Jan. 8, but without the... recommendation of myself or the Board of Directors.’ xIg Carter said that he would have no com nection with the new company, ff it be: . . formed, other than to look after the ifs + terests of the stockholders: He Willa continue with the Mercantile Trust — as counsel. Some of Those for Reorganizsat ac Among thdse who favor the reorganh- ~ ization of the trust company are Ed- wards Whitaker, the broker, and Han-- ford Crawford. When the Missouri-Lincoln Trust Co.'s. business was placed in the hands of Mercantile Trust Co. for liquidation 42° 1907, the company owed about 9$6,000,- (0, Judge Sale said. That tndeébt now has been reduced to about $700, Those who want to reorganize pro to borrow $575,000 om the Liggett Bulld- ing, owned by the Missourt-Li n | Trust Co., and $250,000 on half a m int acres of land owned by the company tt Texas.

Big Suits Disposed of. ™ The reorganization, !f put through, will have no effect on the Mtigatfon’ now pending involving the old company, Carter said. The president stated that most of the big suits against the Mis- souri-Lincoln Trust Co. had been dis- posed of, and that other actions now the courts would be unaffected by a | organization. The outstanding stock of the Missouri! Lincoln Trust Co. is $2,500,000. In the’ proposed reorganization one share new stock will be exchanged for five’ shares of old. It is proposed to isstie 950,000 new stock, to be sold at par to’ old stockholders taking new stock. ‘ holder will be entitled to subscribe 50 fper cent of the amount of his holdings of the new cash stock of $250,000. ; A financial statement of the Missouri.” Lincoln Trust Co. at the close of b ness, Dec. 23, 1911, which was sent te each stockholder. with the call for the’ reorganization meeting, states that the company’s resdurces are $1,772,176.86, am” follows: Loans, secured and unsecu t, $200,902.29: loans on real estate, $787,000. f stocks, bonds and investments, $644, real estate, estimated, $140,0%4.

The United States led the nations in furthering arbi- to find “the moral war” and leaves tration while the rest of the world | reverberated with the beating of drums.

It defeated the Canadian reci- procity bill, direct. election of United States Senators, the Sulloway pension proposal ard the bill to create a per- anent tariff board. In extraordinary session from April 4 to Aug. 22 the Sixty-second Congress approved the Canadian reciprocity pact, ‘passed the congressional reapportion- ment providing 4833 members of the House, and the Rucker bill for pub- licity of campaign contributions before and after election, admitted Arizona and New Mexico to statehood under condi- tions since met, ordered the Monetary Commission to report by Jan. 8, 1912, voted a second investigation of Senator *Gorimer’s election and an inquiry into Senator Stephenson's, and passed the Zool, cotton and farmers’ free list tariff _bills, which President Taft vetoed.

NEW YORK ADOPTS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW HE Federal income-tax amendment r was ratified by the New York Leg- islature July 12, insuring in all probability its ultimate adoption by the necessary two-thirds of the states. Thir- ty states have indorsed the amendment, eight have not taken positive action, and seven have rejected it. Prohibition was resubmitted to the voters of Maine, who kept the State ‘‘dry’’ by a very small margin. Texas rejected state-wide pro- hibition by a small majority. Indiana repealed its county prohibition law and the larger cities of Alabama voted for license. California, by popular vote, which was almost unanimous, adopted the initia- tive, referendum and recall, including the recall of judges. The legislatures of Florida, Idaho, Nebraska, North Da- kota, Washington, Wisconsin and Wy- oming have adopted initiative and ref- erendum amendments to be submitted to the voters of those states. The Mas- sachusetts Legislature defeated such an amendment. POSTAL BANKS IN CITIES; SUPPORT FOR POSTAL POST OSTAL savings banks were opened I in the ‘principal cities Aug. 1. Postmaster-General Hitchcock de- clared in favor of a parcels post limited at the outset to rural free delivery routes. The Postoffice Department showed for the fiscal year its first sur- plus—$219, 119. The “House of Governors’’ meeting at Spring Lake, N. J., appointed a special committee to protest to the States Supreme Court against usurpa- tion of state rights by Federal courts. The immediate cause of the protest was the decision that the Minnesota Reall- road Commission could not regulate railroad rates without infringing on in- terstate commerce. | TRUST DECISIONS ARE FPEATURE OF COURT WORK Tdberty of the American press and ap- plication of the Sherman anti-trust law were among the manyv momentous issues determined by the courts. The most im- portant decisions were: © Jan. 3~Panama libel case, instituted by Theodore Roosevelt against the New York World under the theory’ that the editor of @ paper might be taken for | into any Federal jurisdiction where i = $ + t copy of his publication happened to sult dismissed. prs York State Court of meepeetisusens), the holds that under the commodity clause of the Hepburn act railroads must be actually independent of the coal com- panies.

Besides the veto bill, the most sig- nificant piece of British legislation of the year was Lloyd George’s sickness and unemployment insurance measure. At Viterbo the trial of the Cammorists which began March 1 still continues. Jan. 4—-Mme. Curie was denied admis- sion to the French Academy of ences because of her sex, but on Nov. 7 was awarded the Nobel prize for serr- ~ owl ‘“Monna Lisa,’’ from the Louvre; Andre | Jaeger-Schmidt’s circling the globe in 89 days 19 hours and 43 minutes; finding ; of the board of experts raising the bat- tleship Maine that she was blown up from without. The Pope had a consis- tory appointing 13 cardinals, three of them from the United States, Archbishop John M. Farley of New York, Archbish- op Falconio of Washington, D. C., and Archbishop O’Connell of Boston. EUROPE WAR SOARE OVER MOROCCO DISPUTE OLLOWING a native uprising in Fez - the French Government, April 27, notified the signatories to the Al- geciras conference that French interven- tion was necessary to protect foreign interest. Germany replied May 8, with a warning to France of serious conse- quences of French occupation. French troops reached Fez May 23; Germany sent another warning, June 7, that Mo- rocco sovereignty must be respected. July 1 Germany landed troops at Aga- dir and refused to leave unless France would cede territory in the Congo in re- turn for recognition of France’s pre- ponderance of interest in Morocco. Pro- posals and counter-proposals kept Eu- rope in a foment. Russia and England secretly upheld France, while Germany had Austria at her back. Warlike prep- arations were hastened in both countries. President Fallieres reviewed the largest French navy ever assembled, Sept. 4; the Kaiser inspected his fleet the next day. Oct. 10 a settlement was reached and negotiations were concluded Nov. 4. France ceded 96,000 square miles along the Congo coast, with 1,000,000 popula- tion and an annual trade of $2,500,000: Germany in return agreed to leave France unmolested in Morocco and ced- ed a lesser strip of Africa. RANKLY for conquest of Tripoli be- eause she meeds room for ex- pansion, Italy declared war on Turkey on Sept. 29, two days after sending formal demands to Constanti- nople. Oct. 3 Italy bombarded Tripoli. Oct. 8 Turkey asked the powers to in- tervene, but they kept hands off. Oct. 16 Italian aviators landed at Tripolt and demonstrated the effectiveness ot aeroplanes in actual warfare, terrify- ing the Moslems by dropping bombs upon them; Oct. 26 Italy notified the powers of her practical annexation of Tripoll. RUSSIA FORCES PERSIA TO FIRE AMERICAN MORGAN SHUSTER and five W assistants recommended by ® the American Government were given charge of the reorganiza- tion of Persta’s finances last June. Immediately Russia, with England’s tacit consent, if not co-operation, set about to have them removed. Nov. 6 Russia made demands concerning prop- erty on which a Russian bank was said to h@&id a mortgage. Persia de- murred, and Russia ordered troops across the frontier. Excuses were not lacking because of the deposed Shah’s campaign to re- gain the throne. Nov. 19 Persia and Russia severed diplomatic relations; Nov. 20 Persia appealed to the powers and offered to take Russia’s demands to The Hague. Awed by Russia, the Persian Govern- ment decided to apologize on Nov. 2, but was met by new demands for Shus- ter’s removal. Finally this demand, too, was granted, but Russian troops already had began a massacre of Per- sians. Additional reports of the slaugh- ter continue from day to day. CHINA’S MILLIONS JOIN FREEDOM'S CAUSE HINA’S agitation for a parliament + in 1910 bred serious uprisings last Apri! in Canton. In May the Chinese Grand Council was superseded by a constitutional cabinet of ten. The Government's railroad policy was re- sented, and by September the revolt was of serious proportions. Oct. 30, after infliction of heavy losses by rebels, an imperial edict admitted errors in administration and promised reforms. Nov. 6, Wu Ting Fang became Director of Foreign Affairs for the revolutionary government, which de- manded the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty and the establishment of @ re- publican government.

Ky Associated Press. PEKIN, Dec. 30.—Yuan Shi Kai re- ceived several foreign correspondents together this evening in the Waiwaupu Building, where he has both his office and residence. The approaches were heavily guarded by eoldiers with fixed bayonets. : Tents covered the grounds surround- ing the building. The Ptemier, who is believed to be constantly in danger of assassination, and, therefore, takes the utmost precautions, is a heavy-set, gray-haired man between 50 and 60 years of age. He appeared unusually large in several thicknesses of winter robes. Yuan Shi Kai gave it to be understood -that he wanted a true reierendum on the question of a republic; he was Opposed to haste because; of the danger that the Shanghai conference would not be representative. Up to Imperial Clans, Replying to the question as to whether the Shanghai demands would be met, he said the matter was for the decision of the imperial clans. In order to carry on the administration he declared money Was needed and fhe princes had not come forward sufficiently in that direc- tion. He added that if the rebels ad- _ Yanced the imperial troops would engage them. There will be another meeting at the palace tomorrow of the Empress Dowager, the premier, and the im- perial princes. The only question for thetr consideration is that of abdi- eating or disgorging their riches. Yuan Shi Kai refuses to abide by the agreament entered into by Tang Shao Yi, his own representative, and Wu Ting Feng, the republican representative. He has serit telegrams to Shanghai actually approving only the continuation of the armistice. May Withdraw Troops. Yuan indicated that he may withdraw the imperial troops; but it is evident he does not intend to withdraw them, as demanded, within five days. He made no mention of the suggested _10 days limit to the convocation of the Ae wenp ! cone With reference to ag my wal of the Government et (37 miles) from their pres- Britons, he said he has no ob- feo. 4 “y to this, but added that it will be impossible to remove the heavy ar- tillery within the stipulated time. The interruption of telegraphic communica- tion, he pointed out, will prevent notifi- cation of the several columns within the same period. Asks if They Will Agree. An his telegram to Shanghai, the Pre- f asked whether the revolutionaries themselves will agrep to the contract signed during the ot dhl as they themselves stipulate in the case of the imperialists, and also whether small loans for loca! government purposes are to be included in the stipulation; what ineasures are suggested to prevent atro- cities by numerous bands of robbers, and what guarantee the revolutionaries will give not to enlist brigands. He concluded by asserting that the feeling in the army and among the people of the North is strongly against | ling the conference anywhere but Peking, which is the proper place for such a meeting. ‘the republic.

Ee PROVINCES WILL NAME GOVERNORS SHANGHAI, China, Dec, 30.—The rapid developments which have oc- curred since the arrival here of Dr. Sun Yat Sen are almost bewildering, but careful observation demonstrates that the provisional president con- trols the situation. Today he received a large number of congratulatory dispatches from Europe and America while locally$he has been tendered numerous receptions and banquets. Dr. Sun informed the Associated Press that the assertion that the fu- ture program of the revolutionists involves the separation of the Chi- nese provinces into autonomous re- publics are entirely erroneous. Ac- cording to their plans a strong cen- tral government is to be organized and a parliament representative of the people elected. Each province will select its own governor, No pro- vincial armies are contemplated, as both the army and navy are to be made national institutions and will be under the control of parliament in the same way .as the finances. The entire governmental system is to be remodeled and modernized and the whole fiscal system is to be ad- justed. on up-to-date methods. The income ofthe country is ample to discharge its liabilities and to de- fray ordinary expenses, MAN HELD ACCUSED OF ST. LOUIS FRAUDS Samuel H. Keeler, accused of cashing forged checks in St. Louis and obtaining money on a bogus draft tn Springfield, Ill., was arrested by Pinkerton detec- tives yesterday in Davenport, Io., ac- cording to dispatches received by H. L. Mosher, manager of the local Piukerton office. Ke ler is charged with having cashed three forged checks drawn on the Wells- ton State Bank, obtaining $25 from T. H, Ellermann, a druggist, $10 from a photographer named Jesse and $15 from H. S. Townsend, a baker at 937 Good- fellow avenue. . In Springfield, it is charged, he ob- tained $250 from one man and $% from another on a paper which purported to show that he had a trainload of cattle in shipment from Pocatello, Idaho.

All of the unpleasant sensations attendant upon eating too | eartily are instantly relieved by a Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet. Like sticking a pin into a rubber balloon. The rea- son is simple and easy to under- stand.

Inflation of the Stomach From Smaigentes Food Quickly Kelieved By Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet. When you take food into a stom- ach that is timed an‘ over-taxed the gastric juices do not form fast enough to digest it :properly. So the food becomes sour and at once beging to throw off gases. Your stomach becomes inflated just as sure- ly as if you attached a toy balloon to a gas jet. Then the gases and foul odors issue forth and pollute your breath making you an object of nausea to your friends. Your tongue quickly becomes coated and you can taste the foulness that is within you. Now all this condition is changed almost instantly byaa Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablet. This little digester gets busy at once—supplies all the digestive juices that were lacking— digests the food in a jiffy and opens up the clogged stomach and bowels. It also sweetens and refreshes the mucous lining of the stomach and bowels and restores peace and con. tent. If you will give Stuart’s Dyspep- sia Tablets a chance they will not only sweeten your stomach but also your disposition and you will never have gnother stomech ill. One grain of a single ingredient in Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets .wil! digest 3000 grains of food. This saves your stomach and gives it the rest it needs. All muscles require occasional rest if they are ever over. taxed. The stomach is no exception to this rule. Try a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and you will wonder how ever got along without them. They are sold at 50 ripe by all A trial pack-

FR. STANOWSKITO. | SLIP INTO RUSSIA UN HIS SIDEBURNS St. Louis Polish Priest Hopes Dis- guise Will Enable Him to See Aged Mother. ( } — NO FAITH IN PASSPORTS ’

Diplomacy Has Aided*Him in Other Visits to Country, in Spite of Spy System. Wearing a newly grown crop of side- burns to help as a disguise, Father Urban Stanowskt pastor of St. Stanis- laus’ Polish Catholic Church, 1418 North Twentieth street, will try, in the next two weeks, to cross the Russtan-Ger- man border and visit his mother, 87 years old, at Opole, Russian Poland. HeLwill Carry a passport signed by Secretary of State Knox and vised by the Russian Consul in Chicago, but for all this display of authority he believes his success will depend entirely upon his ability as a combined diplomat and master at disguise. This will be his fifth trip to Europe to see his mother. On two of the other trips he was turned back at the: border with a warning that he might not come back if he went any farther. Poles Who have taken naturalization papers in other countries, he finds, are not permitted to return to Russia under any circumstances. The authorities are especially bitter against Polish Catholic priests, he says. Nearly all religions are tolerated in Russia, but none is protected except the Orthodox Greek Church, which is the state religion of the Empire. Russia Doesn’t Like U. §. “Russia has no use for the United States,"” said Father Stanowski, ‘‘and my passports therefore will not protect me. I shall be thrown on my own re- sources and my only hope lies in con- cealing the fact that I am a Palish Catholic priest. I shall be watched constantly from the time I enter Rus- sia until I leave it—if I get in. On Alert for Priests. “Although I speak Russian, Polish and French, I shall be forced to assume com- plete ignorance of any language but English. In no other way can I evade disclosure of information which would cause my immediate expulsion from the country. “T shal] sail Jan. 4 for Bremen, and go from there by rail to Poland. At the last station in Germany a group of Russian officers will board the train and collect all the passports. When we get to Sosnowice, the first station in Russia, the train will stop two hours vhile the passengers are taken to a big hall and questioned by the officers. “Americans do not realize the difficulty under which a foreigner travels tn Rus- sia. If I go to a hotel there, the pro- prietor will send ,my passport to the Po- lice Commissioner of the town. I must say just exactly how long I wish to stop there. If the Police Commissioner finds my passport is all right, he will vise it and a fee for his service will he added to my hotel bill. Was Under Suspicion. ‘The last time I was in Russia was seven years ago, and although I trav- eled through the country considerably, I was always under suspicion. The rev- olution was in progress then, and ev- erybody was suspected as a traitor. In fact, nobody will trust anybody in Rus- sia at any time. “As soon as I got actoss the border the keeper of the first hotel took all my valuables from me for safe keeping. He told me the soldiers might take them from me, and I learned later that he was right. The soldiers searched every- body and when they found anything of value they turned it over to the of- ficers. Needless to say it never was re- turned to the owners. “As I was about to leave the country I stopped at a barber shop to have my burnsides removed. The barber was cry- ing. He said a band of soldiers stopped him the night before and took his three best razors, which he had in his pock- He had only one very poor blade and when he shaved me with it I cried, too. It was an atrocious in- strument. On departing I gave the bar- ber two rubles with which to buy new razors. Kisses American Dime, “On that trip I shared a sleeping-car compartment one night with @ Russian army officer of high rank. We got con- fidential and I showed him some Amer- ican money. He took a dime from me and pressed his lips to the little image of Liberty as fervently as a man would kiss his sweetheart. ‘That,’ he said, ‘is what we need tn this land.’ “He begged me to let him keep the dimé and I did so. As we were about to part the next morning, the poor fel- low said: ‘Well, who is the traitor, you — ar On one ecnstan Fathe unable to have his passport vised by any Russian Consul in America.

Father Stanowski said he found that the Russian spy system had followed his every movement since he started from hcme, but he again appealed to the American Consul. “I can do nothing,” was that official's reply. “We don't want the Chinese in our country and the Russians don’t Want you in theirs.”’ Father Stanowski says Opole is not far from the frontier and he believes he will be able to spend a few weeks st his mother’: home unmolested.

Emperior William has asked his min- ister of the interior to have a fu)! re- port sent him regarding the mysterious affair and the Xaiserin and Chancellor Hollweg have sent messages to the Burgermaster expressing sympathy. Dr. Gaffky, @ well-known bactertolo- gist and director of the Royal Institute of Infectious Diseases, in an interview with a Post-Dispatch correspondent to- day stated:

However, the in- cident of the cooking school poisoning in 1894 at Darmstadt where 20 persons became seriously ill and 11 died through eating bean salad proved that the Botu- linus Bacctlli could develop also in pre- served vegetables. While suspicion in the present poisoning turns towards smoked fish, other foods consumed by the shelter inmates must be considered also.”’ DARTMOUTH CLUB DINNER Members of the Dartmouth Club of St. Louis yesterday planned a ban- quet in honor of the visit of Dr. E.

AKEWN al] in all, the baseball sea- qf son of 1911 was the most success- ful in the history of the game, which continues to maintain its posi- tion at the head of all outdoor sports in the United States. The season cul- minated with the greatest world’s series ever known. The Athletics of the Ameri- can League defeated the -._New York Giants of the National League by four games to two. At the New York Pole Grounds and at Shibe Park, in Phila- delphia, the total receipts were $342,364. The biggest single day’s attendance was at the opening game at the Polo Grounds, when 38,281 paid admissions were registered at the turnstiles. Each man of the winning team re- ceived $3600 for his work in the series, while each of the losers got $2400. ” The National League was favored by an exciting and interesting pennant race, Five teams were contenders at different times during the year and the most intense interest was maintained right up to the finish. The pennant was finally won by the Giants. The Ameri- can League pennant was easy for Con- nie Mack’s Athletics, which team of youngsters developed into wonderful batters, not less than seven men on the club finishing in the .300 class of bats- men. Detroit took a commanding lead éarly in the season. By steady and consistent playing the Athletics drew up gradually and, once in front, finished with much to spare. Bender Leads ’Em All. In the world’s series games the work of the veteran Pitcher Chief Bender and the batting of Frank Baker who, on two occasions, batted out home runs at critical stages of the game, were the features of the play. Tyrus Raymond Cobb the outfielder of the Detroit team, again carried off the batting honors, also the base stealing honors. Cobb has developed into the game’s greatest exponent. Christy Mathewson made what {fs sup- posed to be a new major league record, when he defeated the Phillies with % pitched balls. A record for price in ball players was established by the Pittsburg club, which paid $22,500 to St. Paul for Pitcher Marty O'Toole. Nationals Drew Best According to unofficial, but ‘airly ac- curate attendance figures for the 1911 season in the two big leagues, the Na- tional, on the total, out-drew the Amer- | ican. The senior league drew 5,808,178 fans during the pennant race as against ° 681,176 drawn in the national games in 19099 when the former record was set. As a result of the virtual two-team character of the American League race and the ease with which the Athletics beat out Detroit in the seéond half of the race, the junior league fell below the National in attendance, the Amer- ican’s total being 3,962,350.

thanks to the use of the Shibe cork- center ball. No National League pitcher, during the 1911 campaign, pitched a no-hit game. Steele of Pittsburg came within one man of it. On Aug. 26 he retired 26 men -before a hit was made. There were 10 one-hit games pitched. There were also pitched 17 two-hit games, as against 19 in 1910 and 28 three-hit games, as against 38 in 1910. During the 1911 season there were also fewer shut-out games than in several preceding seasons. The National League shut-out record for any one season is 168 games, made in 1908. As against this high mark there were only 92 shut-out games in 1911. Chicago took part in 21 shut-out games, winning 12 and losing nine of them. Adams of Pittsburg and Alexander of the Phillies lead the pitch- ers in shut-outs, each having seven of them to his credit. The increase in batting caused by the cork-center ball was quite marked. Dur- ing the 1911 season 15 or more hits in a game were made in 74 contests, as against 39 such games in 1910. The high- est figure for one game was 23 hits, made by Cincinnati off Pitchers Fer- guson, Curtis and Parsons of Boston, on June 4 Three times 21 hits were made by one team. Nineteen hits in a game were made five times. There were seven games in which 18 hits were made; 10 games in which 16 hits were made, and 34 games in which 15 hits were made. Cincinnati carried off the Nationa: League’s high run mark for 1911 with % tallies registered against Boston in a nine-inning game. The best total for the 1910 seasoam was 25 runs, made Boston. There were many more high scores in the 1911 season than in other recent years. In 4 games single teams scored 12 runs or better. There were only 28 such games in 1910. Three times last year a total of 29 runs were made by both teams tn a game. Fifteen tie games were played during the 1911 season, as against seven in 1910. The National League record for long games is 29 innings June 80, 1892, Chicago 7, -Cincinnati August 24, 1901, Chicago 2, ore tN ) Fe During the American League's season two no-hit games were pitched; one by Joe Wood, at Boston against St. Louis, on July 20; and one by Ed Walsh of Chicago, against Boston on Aug. 27.

a Clever

FOR HEAVY RIVAL NMA.

Local Gives Away Many Pounds and Easily Beats Bobby Lyons.

By HARRY S. SHARPE. Referee for St. Louis A. C, and the Post-Dispatch’s Authority on Boxing. If Oliver Kirk, the clever M. A. C. featherweight amateur, keeps up his good work, it may be he will yet be called upon to meet some of the heavy- weight aspirants to Jack Johnson’s crown, judging from the manner in which he is giving away pounds and winning. Entering the ring at the Missouri Ath- letic Club last night weighing about 124, he easily won the judges’ decision at the end of the third round over Bobby Lyons, a clever boxer in the 1385-pound class. It was a good bout, though Kirk seemed to tire toward the close; but he had kept up an incessant jab and right cross that scored him many points, even if not much damage was done. Lyons F&ced to Hotfoot. Kirk’s judgment of distance was ac- curate and his speed was such that Lyons was forced to do a great deal of footwork that gained him nothing, and the manner in which he was made to miss right and left swings was a tribute to Kirk’s cleverness. Loren Steinheimer, boxing at 158 pounds, gave Fred Usinger a lacing that surprised many of the latter’s friends, who believed he could beat the boy who two months ago defeated two men the same evening. But Steinheimer, who is a natural fighter, outslugged his oppo- nent and was given a well-earned deci- sion. In the course of this bout both men took ‘some hard punches, but neither seemed able to land a knockout, though it was evident both were trying for this gpnclusion. Both Tried for a Knockout. What was probably the hardest-fought bout of the night Was that between Al Tofte and John Kern, the latter repre- senting the M. A. C. and ably seconded by Boxing Instructor Eddie Randall. The men met at 14 pounds and were very strong at the weight. Both men tried to end the contest in each round, and it wasn’t lack of hitting that caused them to fail, but ability to assimilate punishment in a manner that aston- ished the spectators. It was give and take for three rounds at the end of which time the judges dis- agreed and another round of two minutes, as provided by the rules, was ordered. This time the judges agreed and declared Tofte the Winner. Kern Injures Thumb. It was learned after the bout wag over that Kern had dislocated his right thumb in the second round and he attributed his defeat in a measure to this. Tofte must be given credit for his aggressiveness: and no matter how hard the battle raged he never gave an inch and the manner tn which he gave blow for blow showed his fighting spirit. Tom left. failed Fleming, the boy with to the wicked get going until the second round of his bout with Tom Lyons in the 125-pound class, and was being beautifully outpointed, when suddenly that wicked left found its way to the solar-plexus region and Lyons was retired for the night. John Jackson of the M. A. C. met Bud Kelly, a brother of Leo Kelly, the profes- sional boxer, in a match at 135 pounds and was given the referee’s decision at the end of the third round, the judges having dis- agreed. This marred to hold In the clinches, Harry Claves won from Frank Manning at i125 pounds because he was the faster and better boxer. Manning was strong. but ap- peared siow and seemed utterly unable to avoid Claves’ left hand, which landed at will. The judges had no trouble in coming to a decision favoring Claves at the end of the third round. was rather a-siow bout, and was >. - BASEBALL BRIEFS.

en, 1912 FRAMES FOR 1911 FACES. ING out the old, ring in the new,” doesn’t go for 1912, which blows in on us tomorrow for a twelvemonth visit. .Not in sport, at least, is there much of a tinge of novelty to come in. The mosses of 1911 will cling to the championship wall like Jack Johnson to a chicken, unless all straws have taken to cheating in the- matter of tell- ing which way events trend. ° + ° LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT. N the pugulistic world we are not joyfully “ringing in’ any white hopes.”” Ringers are barred, anyhow. Whenever Jack Johnson comes around they tuck away the “hopes” in the storm cellar for fear they might get hurt. The dark dynasty will reign. good and plenty for at least a twelve- month, with the golden-smile kid de- fending his title successfully. And to prop his Ethiopic throne there are Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette and Sam McVey —a smoke battalion that will be hard to penetrate. SAME THING OVER AGAIN. Right down the line the old ones, hold onto their: accustomed titles with the new year. The middleweight is still with ‘‘room to let’’ sign on it, owing to the unwillingness of Papke to get into action; and the welterweight title has a new claimant who may, this time, make the weight: Mike Gibbons. But outside of these discrepancies we wil! gaze upon the same glad championship smiles from the ringside next year as in the closing one. Said cachinuations will be furnished on demand by: Heavyweight — John Arthur Johnson. Middleweight—Blilly Papke (in the opinion of himself, at least). Welterweight—Mike Gibbons, if he can make the weight, since there is none other of merit able to. . Lightweizght—Adolph Wolgast. Featherweight—Abraham At-~- tell, out in the light, Bantamweight—Johnny Cou- lon, if he insists that all oppon- euts make 115 pounds ringside. All of these gentlernen_were, with the exceptions noted, left-over champions from the year i¥10. They will probably still be ‘‘there’’ in 19138, too. = >. * TIME SHARPENS HIS SCYTHE. N thac dear wrestiing game we have the still smiling Frank Gotch to shoot at. A shining mark, this wonder- ful Hlumboldt (Jo. farmer, even though old l’uddy Time is whispering in his ear that his thirty-third season will be in- troduced to him with the year 1912. Thirty-three: a time when tie subtle change begins where, without being able to account for it, Old Man resilience be- gins to “beat it,’’ and leave the frame inelastic and siow to recover, though quite It is aimast strong as ever. a shame to think that a man of Getch'’s splendid physical and meniai. adjustment must come to the point where the referee nature taps him «houlder and announces the first Father Time. Gotch’s mental are perfectly co-ordi- nated. That has been the secret of his SUCCESS, Thought and action were simul- taneous with him; and his alert mind was always roving 30 seconds ahead of the fattest wits that ever glappled with him on the mat. His premonitions ns to an opponent's moves were at times “uncanny, his opponents say. But it was not clairvoyance. It was simply that Gotch's trifling feints, unperceived ag such by his opponents, led them Into the traps he laid for them. Is GOTCH GREATEST OF ALL? NE often wonders if the mighty OP ccoventane of mammoth strength, or the wonderful Yousoff, who went down in mid-ocean with a harem’s price in gold strapped about his enormous frame, could have ever off- get the combined intelligence and skil) of the Gotch of yesterday, even with all their wontrful strength. As yet tnerk fe nothing threatening for Gotch on the horizon—that is, aoth- ing he jis likely to be pitted against. In his own retinue there is a man who will one day hold the title, if given the right coaching and management: Yus- siff Mahmout. But the Zbyszskos and Raicevichs can knock at Gotch’s door when the champion is several years old- er and still be so afraid of him as to run aw? : age Gotch +e:s as on the fali for and ,hysical sides corer reat a ‘ . & be Wil ft rer bul yeu can't drag these moths away from the | flame until they have been proper!) singed. And it is well. For, with an unbeaten, — retired champion, there wouldn't be typists enough in -the world to transcribe the wrestling ti- rades that would come out from the many claimants to the title, to the great annoyance of the national tympanum. a = _ SLIP IT THE BLACK PILL. LD 1912 is set for a ‘‘banner season,” in the words of the press agent, which this time are the voice of truth, though racing, which deserves but little of the public, in view of the treatment it has handed the Common People, is moribund and is a fit subject for euth- anasia. Somebody, in mercy, ought to clip it the black pill and end its misery. It is merely annoying the nation with its death struggles. WHY DIG FOR GOLD? ——— Why, they’re digging trenches to hide away the filthy lucre. It comes in so fast they don’t wait to measure it. Presently they'll ripe it to the banks in pneumatic tubes (we have this on the word of severa) major league club secretaries). Note: The plans for installing the money ducts fat Sportsman’s Park may be delayed enother season. * @ + MONEY MAKING BEATS WAR. HEY talk of war? Not as yet is it to be realized. Some day they’]! trot out the 12-inch typewriters and get down to volleys; but at present there's not much time taken up except for sorting out the change. You can’t ex- pect 16 clubs which whack up $6,000,000 jreceipts in six months, to worry about war trifles. Wait until the crop falis to $5,000,000 then they may get their backs up. (Now Garry Herrmann, don’t you dare wink at Ban Johnson behind our backs.) The best we may hope for in 1912.is a little bomb-throwing, about $7,000,060 “edge’’ on the season, and to keep out of last place. The last is something to be thankful for. It isn’t every team that has a real good chance to run last, every decade. * + 7 ND as for the 1912 baseball cham- pions, why they say over in Phila- delphia that it’s all over but the shout- ing, and that they're figuring to see if there's any little cloud on the 1913 hort- zon. But Pride goeth to grief before a fall, gents; just like ‘‘bennies’’ go to hock, before Winter.

At least that is the statement made by Sales Man- ager John Yoke of the Flanders Manu- facturing Co., the two million dollar concern that manufactures the Flan- ders ‘4’ motor cycle. “Of course we have a large sale in all big cities—to certain classes of people in cities motor cycles are a neces- sity. But, that fully 80 per cent of our entire output of 50,000 motor cycles which we will make in 1912 will be sold. to farmers and in villages untler 5000 pop-

ulation is evidenced by our dealers’ orders.

PLAN HIGHWAY FROM ST. LOUIS TO EAST An effort is being made for an appro- Ppriation by Congress to improve the old National road from Washington, D. C. to St. Louis, also to secure State aid in making a State highway—east to west— across Illinois. The movement is being fathered by the Good Roads Club of Ef- fingham, IIl.,. of which J. H. Curry its Secretary. Personal appeal has been made to the citizens of every village, tc wn and city en route from Terre Haute to St. Louis, soliciting co-operation and assistance in the movement. Mr. Curry has appealed to the officers of the Automobile Club of St. Louis, the organization in connection with: the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers’ and Dealers’ Association and the similar or- ganizations of Kansas City, which made the Missouri State highway a possibility. The present Missouri cross-State high- way is due to the untiring work and generous financial and material support of automobile organizations of the State, under the efficient direction of Curtis Hill, State Highway Engineer. The mo- torists made the first inspection tour possible, as they assured the dedication of the location bv lending their cars for the tour, the club financing the general expense, each member who joined in the tours bearing his personal expenses. They were ably assisted by the citizens en route, who have heartily co-operated in the movement, forming road districts and improving the roads. a COLUMBIA RESULTS. COLUMBIA, S&S.

[AUTO SHOW SEASON BEGINS IN NEW YORK According to F. W. Payne, manager of the St. Louis Coliseum, the Automo- bile Show to be held the week of Feb. 5 next, over half of the space has al- ready been signed. The show manage- ment has adopted an attractive decora- tion scheme which is expected to be even more elaborate than last year, when the Show Committee spent $2500 to stage the 1911 affair. Plans call for Japanese decorations, and in place of bunting or flags, Jap- anese lanterns will be used in large numbers suspended about halfway be- tween the rafters and the wild cherry vines that will top off the pagodas in which the cars are shown. Arrange- ments have just been completed that will allow more advertising than last p year, which will, in addition to St. Louis, cover a radius of 100 miles out- side of the city. By following the national show at Chi- cago, exhibitors will have two days in which to ship the “‘pink’’ of the Chicago show to St. Louis. Following the local show the cars will be shipped to the Kansas City show, which follows the Coliseum exhibit. After Jan. 6 applications from outside manufacturers will be taken up by the management and space assigned. This plan, says Mr. Payne, gives the local trade the first choice of space. As last year, the coming show will be a Co-op- erative affair, any money left over after all expenses have been paid going to the exhibitors. The big show at Madison Square Gar- den, New York, will open Saturday night, Jan. 6. It is the twelfth annual show held there. Immediately at its close, Jan. 20, the garden is to be torn down and replaced with other bulld- ings. The annual automobile show at Grand Central Palace, New York City, will open Jan. 10 and will close Jan. 20. The National Show at Chicago, at the . Coliseum and _ First Regiment Armory, is scheduled to open Jan. 27 and close Feb. 15. The first week, as at the New York shows, is to be de- voted to pleasure vehicles, the second to commercial vehicles. The second annual show at Atlanta, Ga., will be held from Feb. 10 to 17 In- clusive. The show a dealers venture handled by the dealers themselves, and held at the big auditorium. is will be The Dealers Association Automobile show will open at Kansas City, Feb 13, at convention Hall. a 4 Sunday's Juarez Entries.

It is maintained by the association that the city ordinance must conform to the State law and the latter permits a dealer or manufacturer, on payment of $16, to have one original and four duplicate license plates. Mr. Hale has been requested to have this provision inserted in whatever auto- mobile bill the House of Delegates finally considers. Mr. Hale has promised a final hearing on proposed ordinances 246 and 247 the first week-in January. Ordinance 247, which is indorsed by the Automobile Club, the Manufacturers and. Dealers Association and the Motor Accessories Association, provides for a small license tag, while ordinance 246 provides for a large one to be affixed to the front of the car. In all other respects the bills are identical. MOTOR NOTES AND GOSSIP A. C. Ford, automobile man for the Arkansas Democrat, of Little Rock, was in St. Louis Saturday in regard to the St.. Louis-Hot Springs highway.

Harry FE. Krauth has taken charge as local manager for the Woods Electric Vehicle Co., 489 Euclid avenue. He suc- ceeds Ralph Doak, who has been elected president of the Missouri Motor Car Co. John A. Nichols, superintendent of branches for the Franklin Automobile Co. spent the week at the St. Louis branch, 1306 Olive street. R. C. Karst has been made acting manager of the St. Louis branch. J. M. Dale, vice-president and general manager of the Midland Motor Car Co. of Moline, Ill, has been visiting dur- ing the week with the company’s local agent the Lewis Motor Sales Co., 3948 Olive street. Nelson T. Gutelius is ad- vertising manager for the Midland com- pany. TOUR BOOK DELAYED. The Automobile Club of St. Louls has been compelled to stop work in gather- ing data for the club’s tour book of Mis- souri for because of the impassable condition on the roads throughout the State. The 14 motor cyclists, who have been touring the State for the past month, gathering the data for the tour book, have been called in. “We will not take up the routing of Missouri until in the spring,”’ said Clif- ford E. Albers, chairman of the ‘Your Fook Committee. ‘‘We regret the de- lay, as we had hoped to have the book complete for the use of our members for spring touring, but we feel that it is better not to publish a tour book until we can publish a complete one, and one that is absolutely correct. ——__ + @——_— TAKES APPERSON’S AGENCY The Wiemeyer Motor Co. of 3132-34 Park avenue has taken the agency for St Louis and surrounding territory for car, built at

WHAT AN UPSETTING of prices the arrival of the Flanders ‘‘4’’ Motorcycle has o¢gasioned. Why, the other makers seem to be ima panic. IT’S FUNNY, TOO, when you recall the unkind things they said about the Flanders “4” when we first advertised it and stated the price. OF COURSE THEY SAID a first-class fmf horse- power motorcycle could not be’ made fer $175, even with battery ignition. And a magneto in- cluded—utterly impossible. WE WISH WE COULD print all the things they said in their frantic efforts to diseredit the Flanders ‘‘4’’ and justify their own] which at that time were $250 and $278 chines of same power and less quality, — YOU WILL REMEMBER. they all said the only way it could be done was to make thé machine out of poor materials and throw themi together. They not only admitted, they protested, they could not duplicate the Flanders “@” at the price—or anywhere near it. = cern could not afford to turn out a 860 article—they had no idea what a §em was going to create. cS SO THEY LAID TRAPS for themselves—and now we are driving them right into them, THEY MUST EAT their own words—they said they would have to use poor materialand poorer work in the making to meet the price of Flan- ders ‘‘4.,’’ WELL, THEY HAVE ALMOST met the price— and they will have to meet it and go lower be- fore they can sell their antiquated machines in competition with this up-to-the-minute motor- cycle. NOW IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER, but are we to assume that what they said was true and that they are now making punk machines to meet Flanders ‘‘4’’ in competition—or that they told fibs about it. FRANKLY WE DON’T BELIEVE they are mak- ing them any worse—some things are impossible. And we do know that until Flanders ‘‘4’’ ar- rived on the scene, prices of motorcycles wete high above all reason. = WE SAID IN OUR AD that Planders ‘‘4’’— magneto included—selling for $175, left a mighty small profit to us on each machine. BUT WE ARE SATISFIED with a small profit on each machine so long as we can build 50,000 per year. And the price—$175, magneto in- cluded—has created a demand sufficient to jus- tify us in building that many. HERE’S A POINT YOU HADN'T NO’ ICED per- haps: Other makers did not drop ‘heir prices until we had actually begun to m@k: deliveries. Do you know why? There were 4 reasons, FIRST: OUR AD CREATED a endous de- mand which we were as yet u to supply. The other makers saw that ands@e ermined to supply some of it at high prices. A id they did.

been propounded. The question, asked by Allender, was: “Don’t you know that for this crime in some parts of the country you would be torn limb from limb?’ ‘What?’ the prisoner “torn limb from—whiy, for?’’ “What for? Don't you realize you committed a cold-blooded murder?’’ ‘“Who—me? Croaking Why’”’—— The man astonished at the intentnes crowd of inquisitors around exclaimed,

I didn’t commit no cold- blooded murder when I killed this wom- an. I had to shoat her or she would have’ shot me.”’ For a moment the remark brightened the man’s dull indifference, but in a few minutes he relapsed into a state of calm stolidity from which he could not be surprised a second time, although he eecasionally eyed.his questioners as if wondering what all] the fuss was about. Chief Allender and the other detectives at the inquiry appeared scarcely less surprised than,the man. Their surprise, however, was the man himself. In all inkir Yon experience with criminals and men accused: ofi crime, they explained, Ahey never saw ohne so little moved when ‘accused of muader.

These admissions, the police say, go to confirm the story of John Chadwick, 1608 Wash street, who yesterday came forward with a story of the killing after keeping quiet about it for several days. Chadwick said that he went with the couple to their room Christmas day, and that they began quarreling as soon as they entered it. He said Pokrefke snatched a pistol from a drawer and began shooting at-the woman. He said he tried to interfere, and saw it was useless, when Mrs. de Witt cried, ‘‘For God's sake, don’t shoot me any more, Frank!" Later he and Pokrefke went to a saloon, Chadwick continued, and afterwards Pokrefke was arrested -for firing his revolver in the air. Tells of Fight With Her. Pokrefke told Assistant Chief of De- _ tectives Schmidt yesterday that he was ut the home of Joseph and Maggie Bau- er, at 1410 North Fourteenth street, Christmas afternoon, and Mrs. de Witt came there. He fought with her and she fell down stairs, he said, and then he took her home.

He took the weapon ‘from her, he said, she sat down, and he went to the wandrobe to get his clothes. She arose from her chair and came to- ward him and there was a struggle, in Which he shot her, he declared; He took a necklace from her neck and some rings from her purse; reloaded the revolver, put the empty cartridges in his pocket, locked the door and went .aWay, he said, afterward threw the empty cartridges in a vault back of the saloon at Twelfth and O'Fallon streets, and, after drinking in the sa- loon, he started down the street, ac- companied by Chadwick, and fired his revolver in the air. He said he did not know why he fired the revolver, except that he was drunk. Story Is Confirmed.

Union (Mo.) Young Women Have Been Neglected by Boys Since Summer.

Young women of Union, Mo., have declared‘a boycott on the town’s eligible young bachelors. It is all on account of the Union Club, organized last summer, with a membership roll including the names of most of the desirable young men of the place. While these youths may gather at their club rooms at will and roar out the popular new Ozark refrain, ‘‘Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dog Aroun’,”’ none is welcome to hang the piano in any Union girl's home and warble the latest musical comedy song hits. It even worse than that. New Year's night there is to be a dance at which every Union girl will appear in her best bib and tucker. The.doors will not be closed on the Union. clubmen, but any clubman who asks to see the card of the girls is likely to meet an icy look and the cool reply: “Very sorry,- but my program filled.’’ The trouble is that, sinoe the club fitted its comfortable quarters opposite the public square its members.have pre- lounging around in them, with convivial companions to dressing in their Sunday clothes and calling -on their sweethearts two or three nights a week. Club Preferred to the Girls. Instead of suggesting buggy rides on Sunday afternoons, the boys have fallen into the way of telling their best girls they have important business meetings at the club. Instead of taking the girls to church or the picture shows, the youths have spent evenings play- ing each other for the club’s billiard championship. But the crowning outrage, from the young women’s standpoint, came the night of the Christmas dance. It was to be a gorgeous affair, with an orchestra from St. Louis and the hall decorated in Yuletide greenery. The girls got out their party dresses and confided to each other they expected to have the time of their lives. The girls went to the dance, but many of them went with their fathers and such brothers as they could corral Aand keep away from the club. Along in the evening, the other club members dropped in languidly, without even apol- ogizing for their failure to act as es- corts. A few of them graciously vol- unteered to see the girls home. A day or two later there was a meet- ing of young women in one of the homes. Some of those present. were Misses Viola Walz, Meta Vitt, Blafiche Reinhard, Mary Baker, Clara Hoffman, Paula Hein, Lorine Mueller, Bernice McCann, Cecella Dausman, Dausman, Luella Conway and Mina Mette. Names of the leaders have been kept secret, but it is known one was chosen chairman. “I move you, Miss Chairman,” one of the girls began firmly, ‘“‘that it is the sense of this meeting that if those horrid boys want to stick around in their old clubrooms we ought to let them until they get sick of it, and that it’s a shame the way thev treat us girls and they needn't think we can’t get along without them, for we can, and that no young man can take us home from a place unless they have escorted us there, and that they needn't think they can stay away in their club as long as they want to and then come and see us when they get good and ready. thinking we'll be simply tickled to death to see them, so there!” The motion was carried in a unanti- over is is ferred

mous burst of enthusiasm and the boy- cott on the Union Club has endured from that hour. The members of the club admit they have heard of the boycott, but they re- fuse to get excited over it. It is said, however, that although some of them smile in a superior sort of way, they are scarcely able to hide a look of anxiety. The boyootters are said to be extremely charming giris and very pleas- ant hostesses when they wish to be. A few of the bachelors in the club are: Alfred E. Reinhard, manager of the American Light and Power Co.; Paul W. Vitt, cashier of the Bank of Union; Otto M. Vitt, Deputy Hecorder of Deeds; Dr. EB. A. Stierberger, Edward W.

——— TEN WEEKS. IN BED — EMINENT PHYSICIANS FAILED—W9N- DERFUL RECOVERY I wish to inform you of the great benefit I have derived from the use of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer for more than twenty years from kid- ney and liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most emi- nent physicians who could only give me temporary relief. I had been in bed ten weeks when I began the use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty-four hours I‘ could see that I had _ been greatly benefited. I continued to use Swamp-Root until 1 had used several bottles when I really felt that my old trouble was completely cured and I am positive that any person suffering with kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this preparation. I am now in the best of health, bet- ter than I have been for ten years or more. I do not know how to express myself as strongly as I desire, in favor of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, as I am sure that it saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer and am confident they can be benefited as I have been. It is a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation. MRS. H. J. PRICE, 1334 Center St., Portsmouth, Ohio. Personally appeared before me this 13th of September, 1909, Mrs. H. J. Price, who subscribed the above state- ment and made oath that the same is true in substance and in fact. RB. A. CALVERT, Notary Public.

Scott, a bearded, bald-headed, studious man just past middle age, after many months of patient study, has com- pleted the system, which he outlined in detail in a lecture before the Modern Language Association in Mandel Hall at the University of Chicago. He has just completed the preparation of a series of papers in Prhich he discusses the sub- ject from | the technical standpoint. These, he promises, will be made pub- lic in a few weeks, after which he ex- pects to gét thousands of indorsements from the ‘thinking, studious publiec.”’ Two Meanings May Be Given. “The elernents of the new alphabet are so simple that a child easily can com- prehend them in two hours,” said Prof. Scott. “For a consonant perpeniic- ular stroke, stem or column will be used, to which may be added horizon- tal projections at the top, middle and bottom, while a dash or broken circle should represent vowels. Each of these mraks will have one meaning when they are light and: another when they are heavy. “Simple vowels are represented by a dash, while rounded vowels would be marked by a circie with the open vowels heavy and closed ones light. A horizontal dash, for instance, placed in front of the stem, would mean a simple vowel, while the back position woulda be represented by a vertical dash and the intermediate position by an _ in- clined dash.”’ Prof. Scott pointed out that the adop- tion of the code would save much time for the stenographer. Besides, more space would be placed at the disposal of the letter writer.and thoughts would be expressed direct, without’ waste. The alphabet is said to have the ap- proval of type manufacturers and type- writer houses. The system is to re- duce the modern English alphabet by nine characters and do away with com- binations, which, Prof. Scott contends, are ‘“‘cumbersome, wasteful and compli- cated and do not express clearly the thought of the speaker or writer.”’ The design of the new alphabet is to but no attempt—at least not for a time—is to be made to adopt it to ordinary or to stenographic writing. The professor asks this question: “Since we have devoted—and do de- vote—so much energy and thought to time-saving devices, why not save time in that which would benefit every man and woman, especially those in busi- ness ?’’ Prof. Scott argues that his new al- phabet, when firmly established, would be a hundredfold more beneficial than even simplified spelling. ‘What tired business man at some time of the day or other has not laid down a long letter because the long words and sentences were tiring his brain?’’ asks Prof. Scott. ‘‘What jurist has not at some time or other been entangled in the maze of verbiage until his eyes swam? Yet all of this could be so simplified that writing would take only half the time that it does with the old alphabet. We surely need a sim- plified method of writing English. Calls, His System Simple. ‘Some will argue that the system I have outlined ig too complicated for the lay mind and that it is more or less of a scientific proposition. To these critics I will answer that the elements of the system are simple—far more so than those of our present language. In the code. I offer there are two kinds of sounds, a woice and a breath sound, the former being designated by a heavy stem and the latter by a light one. For instance, a thin perpendicular column or stem with a dash at the top of the stem stands for ‘f’ as in fat, which you will see is only a sound of the breath and_ lips. “By widering the column and making it heavier and thicker I get the voice of ‘v’ as in wat, a vibration of the vocal cords and purely a voice sound. The same as inithin, the ‘th’ is a breath sound, while the ‘th’ used in ‘there’ be- comes a vorcal sound. 38 ‘Tt would be impossible to adapt my system to bur present alphabet or to adapt the system to my drawings at once. The plan was first suggested to me by a friend who had traveled ex- tensively im China and _ lectured on Chinese customs and manners. He often told me of the difficulties of their ill-prepared alphabet and said he under- stood they were going to cut outa number of letters. That set me to thinking. ‘What would a new nation do for an alphabet?’ was the question that | and not being kept ringing in my ears, foreign lan- eo well acquainted with guages as With my own, 1 started my) I soon became con- experiments on it. abor could vinced that much time and | be saved by the adoption of a less com-

The drowned were Sargent Flagg and Hugh McIntyre. The accident happened at the close of a hockey game between the Melrose High School team and the Melrose High alumni. Young Mcintyre stepped upon an ice cake, which be- came separated from the main pody of ice. Many gathered around trying to aid him, when suddenly the ice on which they were standing gave way, precipi- tating them into the water, 10 feet Aeep. Half a dozen of the hockey players and spectators rushed to the rescue and their heroic work prevented a great loss of life. They dived into the water and pulled out all the boys but two. Sev- eral of the victims were in such seri- ous condition, however, that physicians worked over them a long time before their recovery was assured. In the excitement attending the res- cues, McIntyre disappeared and is sup- posed to have slipped from an ice cake. Start the New Year Right.

CHICAGO BANKER’S WIFE KILLS SELF CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—Mrs. Frederick T. Haskell, wife of the first vice-president of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, shot herself through the head this morn- ing in a storeroom of her home, 2824 Prairie avenue, on the thirtieth anni- versary of her marriage. She was born Mary Magoon of Ogdensburg, N. Y., daughter of a former noted politician. Mrs. Haskell has been in mourning for the past year for her mother, who had been an invalid for a number of years. Friends of the family say that her mother’s death affected her greatly, although she showed no signs of de- spondency. No possible cause for her taking her own life can be assigned by friends of the family. Mr. Haskell has been vice-president of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank since 1890. He is also a director of the Illinois Trust Safety Deposit Co. and of the Bankers Trust Co. of New York, vice-president of the Illinois Manual Training School Farm and trustee of St. Luke’s Hospi-

Residences Have Built This Year.

MANY NEW FACTORIES HAVE COME TO CITY

Secretary of Real Estate Ex- change, in Annual Report, Outlines Growth and Im- provements in St. Louis Along All Lines.

The anual report of the Real Estate ixchange for 1911 has been issued by John J. Dowling, the secretary It an improvement in the past year’s realty conditions over those of 1919. The report, in large part, fol- lows: “In 1911 there shows have not been manv large building permits issued, but there have been large realty deals consummated. It is impossible to tell the exact amount of money which changed hands in these deals, as the considerations are usually made nom- inal. “As a matter of fact there have been twice as many residences built this year as last year, and several new subdivisions opened and sold with great success. The homes have heen of moderate prices, but of much finer design and architecture than have heretofore been built. “The downtown district also has been benefited hy nmumerous new buildings; namely, the large building occupied by the Rosenthal-Sloan Mil- linery Co. on Washington avenue, the King-Brinsmade Mercantile Co. Build- ing, the Hippodrome Theater Build- ing and the new Famous-Barr Build- ing, which is to be built, occupying an entire city block and béing 21 stories high. The first seven stories of this immense building are to be occupied as a department store, and the balance by railroad offices; there being a scarcity at this time of office room for railroads. “Your particular attention is called to the size of this building. It will be the largest of its kind in the ('nited States. Personally, within the past 12 months, I have visited all the astern cities, but have never seen any building to compete with what this magnificent structure will be when completed. There are several other buildings under course of con- struction which will be completed very soon. Many New Factories, “One of the most encouraging fea- tures of this year has been the nu- merous factories which have come to St. Louis; namely, the United Drug Stores Co., the Southern Bleachery Co., the Warner-Jenkinson Manufac- turing Co., the Anderson Tool Co. and several minor factories, “This not only helps the city, but in- creases the population.. The Factory Location Committee of the Real Estate Exchange has done much to bring about the locating of these factories in St. Louis. The Exchange made a lib-

Rr. eral appropriation at the request of A. Schollmeyer, who was chairman of this committee, to be expended for ad- _ vertising throughout the country, show- : ing what inducements our city had for | them in the way of cheap coal, water,

Franklin Avenue Lighted. “Through the initiative of the busi- ness men on Franklin avenue, this street has aiso been recently added to the streets which are thoroughly lighted on modern lines, and Grand avenue, from Lindell boulevard on the south to iranklin avenue on the north, also con- stitutes one of the brilliantly lighted thoroughfares of our city. The senti- ment among the property owners and business men of this city to extend the lighting districts to other parts of the city is well exemplified in the efforts of the South Broadway Merchants’ As- sociation, and also of the merchants do- ing business in the vicinity of Easton and Taylor avenues, in bringing about the better lighting of the streets on which tie business interests of the re- spective sections carry on their busi- ness. It is only a question of time when the food example set by the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange as a_ business and civic organization in furthering this important improvement will be fol- fowed by all the other civic organiza- tions interested in the various sections of this city, and that eventually all i..@ business streets in this city, as well] as the residence thoroughfares wil! be effectually and brilliantly illuminated, thus making the city of St. Louis in truth a “City of Light.” “The Public Service Committee of the came peuueds &. a eb samen et ais FH RST "AUTHENTIC PICTURE OF THE ‘BUILDING WHICH WILL BE ERECTED ON BARR SITE}!

The only other city having a restrictive ordinance covering illuminated signs is the city of Wash- ington, and it is not a commercial city. “We feel that St. Louis has just as good a right to be brilliantly illuminat- ed for commercial purposes and the benefits incident thereto, as has De- troit, or Cincinnati, or Cleveland, or Indianapolis, or New York, or any other town. bill passed. We would like to see St. cities of the country. ‘The Real Estate Exchange is still taking the same interest in the Free tion work upon the Municipal Bridge has made splendid progress—the two eastern river spans being complet- the contractors not later than February next. “Contracts for the western railroad and wagon approaches, the former to ex- tend to Twenty-third and Gratiot streets, with a double track and the latter ter- minating at the northeast corner of Seventh and Papin streets, have been let and construction thereof is bing made. The contractors contemplate completing this approach work on or before July 1 next. Approach Not Located. “The eastern, rairoad approach, at this time, has not been located, consider- able opposition having developed in this administration against the so-called ‘Re- ber’ approach, terminating at Twenty- second street and Boismenue avenue, the reason being that the City of East St. Louis, having jurisdiction over its streets, could refuse legislation desiring connection therewith, by refusing to enact an ordinance to cross the surface of streets or highways to reach the same. The northeastern approach, rec- ommended by the Real Estate Exchange, which it is proposed to elevate over all streets and railroad crossings within the corporate limits of East St. Louis. is gaining friends, 4s, in the operation of such a structure, all of the in and out St. Louis tonnage, east of the Mis- sissippi River, would be taken from the surface crossings of streets, thus facili- tating deliveries of tonnage and passen- ger traffic and removing the possibility of accident to life, limb and property, in consequence of an elev ated approach. “In addition, many of the passenger triins entering and departing from our city via the Merchants’ Bridge would then be induced, because of a more di- rect route to our Union and other pas- senger stations to be built in our city, this elevated structure, all of which would. be to the muiua! advan- tage of the East St. Louis traveling public, gee is now compelled to go to Granite City to reach these northern \Mferchants’ Bridge trains, which do not, at present, run to the re'ay depot in ‘ast St. Louis. “It is more than that northeastern approach, for the reasons assigned, will be adopted by the Munici- pal Assembly shortly after the Christ- mas recess. Work WHIll Not Cease. “With the works now iet and construction, and the available cash balance on hand, amounting to about $350,000, out of the original $3,500,000 bond issue, there will be no cessation of work on the edifice uotil another bond issue can be submitted to the people, the amount of which will be predicated upon the Eastern railroad approach, yet to be determined.

The total last year, after it had been shaved by the Board ot Equalization was $73,- 888,210. Public Services. “The Public Service Committee of the Real Estate Exchange has met with great success during the past 12 months. It has been successful in having the Comptroller take up the matter of the appropriation for the removal of ashes, which will be done by the city of St. Louis as soon as funds are available. It has also been successful in introduc- ing a bill in the House of Delegates and Council, providing for the stoppage of street cars on the near side of the street. The bill has passed both houses of the Municipal Assembly and is now ready for the Mayor’s signature. The Real Estate Exchange was also instrumental in having the Department of Justice at Washington employ E. C. Crow to assist as special counsel in the hearing of the terminal ouster proceed- ings recently. “The Real Estate Exchange has been taking an active interest in bettering the conditions in the tenement house districts, having had Roger N. Baldwin of the Civic League address the ex- change. During the past year the Civic League and the Refill Estate Exchange have worked hand in hand to. perfect the so-called sewer vault bill and have at last reached a compromise on this bill, whereby the city is to retain the present vaults in use, but no more vaults of. this kind are to be built, and any vault which becomes beyond repair must be destroyed. “The Real Estate Exchange has hada most successful year in the way of en-' tertaining its members. There were numerous automobile outings, at which the attendance was very large and at which outing luncheon was served and The exchange also been giving a semi-monthly tuneheon, which has met with great success. At these luncheons a_ local speaker of some note is invited to ad- dress the members on subjects pertain- ing to the best interests of the real estate business. “During the past year the Real Es- tate Exchange has been busy fostering the deep waterway question. One of the members of the exchange, who was very active in endeavoring to make a success of river transportation, made a talk before the Board of Directors of the exchange on the deep waterway question and the board promptly ap- pointed a committee to investigate river transportation, and after such investi- gation, a favorable report was recetved from the has } railroad sources contem-

advised all its members to have their clients purchase stock in. the new cor- poration to be known as the St. Louis- Gulf Steel Barge Line Co. The Real Estate Exchange has been fortunate in its standing with the National Associa- tion of Real Estate Exchanges, at least three members of the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange having been. elected to positions in the National Association. “The Exchange has also been success- ful with one of the greatest problems that the property owner has to contend with, that is to say, the ‘‘water meter question.”” Some time ago the cense Collector undertook to purchas® 25,000 water meters, to install in St. Louis. Prompt action on the part of the Real Fistate Exchange prevented the pur- chase of these meters and subsequently the dropping of the project. This would have worked a hardship on the property owners of St. Louis, as meters are tn- Variably incorrect and unsatisfactory, and as we have millions of gallons of water flowing past us daily, why the conservativeness? Also bear in mind that the Water Department has a large surplus at present and is in Roy way in need of funds. “There is no need to Say, although it is a fact, that the St. Louis Real Es- tate Exchange has the finest home of its kind in the United States, the writer having seen all the exchanges of the Eastern cities recently, but none could compare with the St. Louis Exchange. The Exchange is elaborate in its decora- tions and is also equipped to handle its business in perfect shape, such as the holding of auction Sales, trustees’ sales, etc. This Exchange should be the pride of every member and should likewise make his membershtp valuable. Great credit for this move can be assigned to the present officers, who have been con- stantly boosting the Exchange since the beginning of their administration.”’ ALL OUTSIDE ROOMS IN BACHELORS’ HOUSE Model Apartments in the Lodge Being Constructed at Belt and Etzel Avenues. The Lodge, a bachelor hotel, being constructed by the A. G. Hartman Con- tracting Co., from Plans prepared by Clymer & Drischler, architects, and owned by the Tyrol Investment Co., is located on the western portion of the lot situated on the southwest corner of Belt and Etzel avenues. The build- ing is to have three stories and base- ment and it is 70 feet wide on the front by a total depth of 112 feet, and built in the shape of a T, thereby insur- ing light and ventilation into all the rooms and making all rooms outside rooms. Entering the building at the front from Ktzel avenue, one enters a large lobby which contains the office of the building and ample lounping space for guests. : The main stairway to upper floors and basement, leads from this lobby. The lobby is finished in Circassian wal. nut and has a tile floor. Corridors lead from the lobby to the various rooms There are 15 sleep. ing rooms with elght bathrooms on this floor. The second and third floors con. tain 16 rooms and nine bathrooms each, including a large alcove to one room in the front. Fach floor is also connected with « rear stairs, which leads to the basement an? to the exterior on the first floor, each floor is also provided with a firs escape, the stairs throughout the bulld- ting are fireproof, being constructed of ne a Se eee iron and marbig.

New Skyscraper Will Be Known as Railway Ex- change Building, the First Seven Stories to Be Oc- cupied by Department Store.

Plans have been perfected for the Railway Exchange Building, to be erect- ed on the biock bounded by Olive, Lo- cust, Sixth and Seventh streets, at pres- ent occupied by the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Co. The structure virtually will be launched Jan. 15, when the work of razing the present building will begin, and when the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Co. will have been removed to and consoll- dated with the Famous on Washington avenue. The work will be accelerated by night and day shifts, which will have the site ready for excavation by March and whieh will complete the building by Jan. 1, 1913. The wrecking of the Julia Buillding, or main Barr store, together with all the other buildings which now occupy the block, will mark the passing of some of the oldest and best known commer- cial structures in the city. The Julia Building was the birthplace of William Maffitt, vice-president of the Mercantile Trust Co., whose ancestors were pio- neers of St. Louis, the Maffitt-Chouteau estates owning = east half of this block. The contract for the construction of the building has been awarded to the Westlake Construction Co., which hea already let the contracts for the steel, terra cotta and cement. Under 99 Years Leases, The building will be erected by the Monadnock Realty Co., the principal financial backers of which are Thomas H. McKittrick, Robert 8S. Breokings, Thomas H. West, R. McKittrick Jones and W. K. Bixby of St. Louis. The Monadnock company has assembled the site.,comprising a multiplicity of own- ership, under 99-year leases. The building will rise 21 stories above the sidewalk, surmounting in height the Central National Bank, the Wright and Third National Bank buildings, at pres- ent the loftiest structures in the city, and will have a finished basement, with a subway entrance, anticipatory of the future St. Louis. The exterior will be of cream terra cotta and the interior of concrete, fin- ished in Italian marble. Enormous or- nate entrances to the office building will be midway between Sixth and Sev- enth on Olive and Locust streets. The department store also will have entrances on Olive and Locust streets, nearer to the corner. The structure will be of fireproof con- struction throughout, and will be equipped with a battery of nine ele- vators on the Olive street side for. the use of the upper floors, while a similar battery will be operated in the Locust street section, occupied by the depart- ment store. A novel feature, unknown at this time to such structures, will be its equipment throughout with auto- matic sprinklers, the offices as well as the mercantile floors being provided with complete sets. Another distinctive fea- ture will be an interior court, 756x108 feet, which will be wider than any of the streets surrounding the block, and wh’ h will make the interior offices more desirable than those facing the street. Most Modern Equipment. The most recent model inside fire es- capes, which can be entered only from balconies built for that purpose, and which are proof against fire as long as the walls endure, will be used in the building. An automatic cleaning system, a refrigerator for supplying iced water and cooled air, and many other features, will make this one of the most complete buildings of the kind in the world. A spacious basement will underlie the whole structure. The first seven stories of the building, together with the base- ment, will be occupied under a 40-year lease by the May Department Store Co., which recently acquired the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Co., and which also con- trols the Famous. After the close of its present sale, Jan. 14, the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Co. will be merged with the Famous. The Washington avenue build- ing of the Famous will provide for the combined stores until the completion of the 2i-story structure, after which the Famous will cease to exist. ~The remainder of the building will be fitted for offices, and occupied princi- pally by the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, Cotton Belt, and Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad, as general of- fices under 40-year leases. The structure, with the site, will rep- resent an investment of nearly $15,000,- 000, the value of the site alone approx- imating $8,000,000. Big Rentals From First. Rent will be forthcoming from the building from its inauguration, insur- ing the financial! solidity of the enter- prise. It is sald, in fact, that space enough of the building has already been leased to provide for all of its carrying charges and to inaure the success of the project from its inception. An annual rental in excess of $300,000 will be paid by the May Co., and the railroads will pay proportionately. Negotiations incident to the acquisi- tion of the site required more than five

The Holbrook-Blackwelder Real Dstate Trust Co. was the master hand in ob- taining control of the Olive and Sixth street side of the block, while the Mco- Nair & Harris Real Estate Co. and the firm of Cornet & Zeibig were conspicu- ous in the negotiations for the southeast quarter of the block. Complete contro! of the block was only obtained when Nahigan Bros. surrendered their lease of the store at 620 Locust street, which would have expired in three years, for a cash bonus of $25,000. The aggregate rental of the site com- prising nine ownerships for the entire tern will approximate the imposing to- tal of $26,433,000. Incidentally, as to earning power, the block will eclipse that of any other in the city, the valua- tions at which it was acquired repre- senting in many instances the acme of the St. Louis realty market. The annual rental, which is on a 4. er cent basis, in- cluding the cash bonuses, establishes for this block, according to realty ex- perts, a ground valuation exceeding §7,- 000 000, Realty in the vicinity of Sixth, Sev- enth and Olive streets has already felt the rejuvenating effect of this project, several large transfers having been ne- gotiated since its consummation. There will be no fire in the bullding. The property in the block just north, running through to St. Charles street, has been acquired for a boiler plant and engine room, and power, current and heat will be transmitted through a tun- nel under Locust street into the base- ment. at . 414 Elenore: _and L.

But this is only so far as the, immediate participants are concerned. The bad example is always a factor to be consid- ered, and the example set in the private dancing room may have more power for good or evil than any other. “The thousands of girls on the'East Side who want to dance will hardly draw a distinction be- »tween the use and abuse ofthe ‘grizzly bear.’ With them the dance, like the ‘tur :v trot,’ is synonymous with certain vulgar and offensive features.

The detectives discovered that some of the dance halls had appointed their own censors, who stood on the floor with eyes vigilant for any in- fraction of the proprieties. One couple which be- gan a few steps of the “grizzly bear’ was com- pelled toy subdue its. glides, and another, which be- gan the ‘‘ragger whirl,” was warned to cease the steps. Mayor Fitzgerald gf Boston has announced that {f the “grizzly bear” is danced in any of the halis of that city it will be a sufficient warrant for the revocation of the license of the place in which it is permitted. A han has been placed upon the dance by the Committee on, Amusements and Vacation Re- sources of Working Girls in New York, of which Mrs, Charles H. Israels is chairman. This is the organization which succeeded in passing the pres- ‘ent dance hall regulations in Gotham and which balls” under its own operates two “model dance contro! | However, when a society event, fhe First Junior Cotillon, was celebrated at Sherry’s in New York, the cotillon was entirely crowded from the program by the universal desire of ‘the Younger set to dance the “grizzly bear.” “| think it a great pity,” commented Mrs. Is- ‘raels, “that society women should take up this ‘Gagraceful dance. | Their influence is so wide and far-reaching. “OF « taurse, when it becomes known that Mrs. Somebody of Newport introduced and danced the esly at her bail, it is only to be expected persons seekin to be socially correct 4 “There are enough pretty, charming and harm- less dances without adopting others which are not harmless.

Let us stick to them and avoid even the appearance of -evil.” Cotillon Shelved for ‘‘Grizzly Bear.’’ The Mayor of Boston, in announcing that bh: will revoke the license of any datice hall in whic! the “grizzly bear” is permitted, says: “There have been numerous complaints shoud the dance. I am told that it is vulgar and has a tendency to demoralize the young. I have no desire to check the pleasure of those who enjoy dancing, but the ‘grizzly bear’ does not appear to me to be a feal dance.” The unseemliness of the “grizzly bear” danve as it is frequently performed has aroused the indig-. nation of the great maestro Alviene, Frank Gould’s old dancing master, and an instructor of many young men and women in the New York Four Hundred. “In certain circles even the hame is not under- stood,” said Alviene. “It is thought to mean that the dancers must stand extraordinarily close to- gether, in imitation of the grizzly bear hug. That is why spectators bave sometimes asserted that it resembled a hugging match. “In this improper and undignified position the man extends his arms straight forward, resting sack hand under the girl’s arms. She puts her arms directly around the shoulders of the man, and they are as close together as and move.

Miss Helen Taft, oa of White Sl sin Because of Her Mother's I[I]ness, Waill be HE busiest girl of 1912 is Miss Helen Taft, the eld- est daughter of the Chief Executive of the United States. At 20 she is vir- tually the mistress of the White House. Of course, her mother is the first lady of the land, but Mrs. Taft’s frequent in- dispositions put the bur- den of the White House entertaining upon _ her ee daugn yi — _ At the Diplomatic Reception. be held at which Miss Taft will have to receive— frequently alone. There will be the judicial reception, the Su- preme Court dinner, the congressional reception, the Speaker's dinner and the famous army and havy functions. There are nearly always guests of the Taft family at the White House who have to be entertained. Then there is the entertaining of her own friends, who compose the exclusive younger set in Washington. She will have to give at. least two dances for the debutantes of the pres- ent season, besides scores of luncheons, teas and dinners. } In addition she has to accept the invitations of many of her friends. It is the ambition of every debutante to entertain the President’s daughter, and the affairs given in her honor would keep her busy from noon to midnight every day with- out any of her strenuous social duties at the White House. One of Miss Taft's newest activities is her mem- oership in “The Dancing Class,” composed of 50 Washington social leaders, which has just been organized. For 12 successive Mondays there will be a gathering of the ‘‘class” at the Playhouse, where plays acted by society people are given each winter for charitable enterprises. Mme. de Sibour is president of the new organi- zation, Mrs. Preston Gibson is vice-president, ani Preston Gibson, the president of the Playhouse. is secretary. Naturally, as the President's daughb- ter was one of the prime movers in the organiza- tion, the list of those invited to join the class was subjected to careful scrutiny. who have to be presented, hundreds of notes and letters to answer, numerous engagements with modistes and milliners, for she has always to be gowned in the height of fashion, and she must have a large array of finery. Of course, the eti- quette at the White House is not as severe as at u European court, but its restrictions are enough to be felt by a lively American girl of 20. Her life is strenuous and exacting, to say the least. If Miss Taft were not an excellent type of an attractive, up-to-date American girl she would never be able to stand the strain. It is always past midnight and frequently much later hefore she-is able to retire. It is 9 o’clock before she is awakened in the morning, and a walk with some of her friends, an automobile. ride or a horseback ride with her father takes up the remainder of the time until she has to dress for luncheon. In the spring and summer tennis occupies a good share of her leisure time, but during the winter months, when the social season is at its height, she has scarcely enough time to take more than a brief constitutional. White House debutantes bave graced many ad- ministrations and have been responsible for much of the gayety of the national capital. The first was the buxom Anne Jefferson Ran- dolph, daughter of Thomas Jeffersons favorite daughter, Martha Randolph. Then came Miss Maria Monroe, who was the first bride at the White House. She was succeeded by petite Auce Tyler, who gave up her belleship to Mary Abigail Fillmore, The old-timers in Washington society will re- 4 , GAT 4 Respite J o> Wo ‘ v4 WD Horseback Miss Taft is popular not only because of her po- sition, but because of her charming personality. Slightly more than 5 feet 8 inches in height, with clear blue eyes and thick hair of a luxurious. golden brown, she attracts attention wherever she goes. If her father is re-elected next November, her friends may well look for a White House wed- ding, but even should he leave the Executive Man- sion next year there is plenty of time—-in spite of the fact that she is the busiest girl of 1912. A farmer has rigged up a horseless carriage by attaching a big sail to his buggy. The wind carries the vehicle along at a terrific speed. But the trouble is that when the farmer leaves home he has to wait until the wind changes before he can return. 5 ” _ _ PO <P aE pa” ane are pee ay , St aa’ <i vs 5 Ne! 6 - on .

Supreme Court, But Is Still Unsettled Costly Litigation Arose From Prize Hog’s Death of Thirst in Express Van ECAUSE a Missouri hog, bearing tne title “Statesman,’ can de- mand tention of the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, it is apparent the time has arrived when just recognition is bestowed upon a rapidly growing constituent of Ameri- can industry. It was not his per sonality so much as his cause, like the case of many two-legged statesmen who visit Washing: ton, that attracted the attention of the coun- try’s highest tribunal. For when he lived his purpose was the betterment of his kind, but when he died he was just a hog. It is this death that has awakened such ex- tensive interest that his value to mankind has been considered in five different courts and by 18 different judges and one jury of 12 men. This is all because when “Statesman” dieq his owner, F. D. Winn of Randolph, Missouri, claimed it was due to the negligence of the American Express Company and he has demand. ed for the loss of the animal the sum of $8000. The alleged value of the hog promises to be far outrun by costs and attorneys’ fees in es- tablishing before the world the honors to which this hog was due. The litigation promises to far outrun the now well-known Jones County calf case from Iowa, which went to the Su- preme Court of that State four times.

The Missouri hog case has already outstrip- ped the calf case in that it has been. to the Federal court, the Supreme Court of the United States and already to the State Supreme Court o* Towa twice, with every prospect it will go there again and to the United States Supreme Court » second time.

“WEST POINT I5 NOT ALL DRESS PARADE EST POINT has been the dream of my life. It is no longer a dream. ity—a stern reality. I used to picture myself in a spick and span uniform, surrounded by a bunch of adoring girls —that was before I had been a “plebe.”’ I know what West Point life is now, My train- ing—and the shattering of my dream—began the very minute I arrived. Some first-class men de- tailed as plebe instructors pounced upon me. “Who are you?” “Go up those steps on a double time—RUN!” “Put your grips down, UNDERSTAND!” “Turn up your coliar. Button uy your coat. Take off that pin. Move your chin in, more yet. Move your shoulders back. Get some life into you.” I obeyed all the orders—at least I tried to— and found myself in a room in barracks. Lesson No: 2 began at once—how to salute. When my drill masters were satisfied—and they were not easily satisfied—I was sent to report to the officer in charge of new cadets. Then came a new order: “Double time to the cadet store,” to draw my supplies. They made quite a load—an ‘arthchair, dne mattress, two blankets, one comfortér, one pail, one mirror, one clothes bag packéd with smallér articles. But that was only the’ besfnuing.

} Ui Fives titi | se RAR aie Says Mrs. Sarah DecKer of Denver — Campaign of Education to Elect Her to the Senate--Her Views Upon Tariff and Other National Issues—Expects to See Women Senators, Congressmen and Governors, But Not a Woman President pARAH S. PLATT DECK- ER, “foremost citizen of Colorado,” at one time president of the National Federation of Womens Clubs of America, and spoken of prominently for United States Sena- tor from Colorado, member of Congress and Mayor of Denver, is now said by Colorado polli- ticians of both parties to have the largest in- dividual following of anyone in public life in Colorado. She is a power to be reckoned with and on several occasions her influence has de- cided Colorado elections. “Within a very few years the women of this country wil] hold the balance of power and will dictate the nomination and election of the greater part of our public officials,” says Mrs. Decker. .“The Democratic and Republican parties can Never be depended upon for any great length of time to serve the interests of the people. As soon as one or the other gets in power its lead- _# ers become intoxicated with authority and the desire to promote their own interests. “This will lead to a great third party—the Woman’; party. They will throw their votes either to their own candidates or will dictate the candidates of the party they intend to sup- port. “The recent election in Los Angeles furnishes, to my mind, an object lesson to the entire coun- try. It was not only a victory for good gov- '@rmment in the California city, but a victory for ' America and the entire world. “A woman's heart and mind are always with ‘the downtrodden and oppressed, providing they are right. Politics will never eliminate sympathy and the feeling of right and justice from a wom: an’s mind. In Los Angeles the women, while sympathizing with labor, knew that something must be done to put an end to the reign ot fterror. They knew that the election of a labor ticket would add fuel to the flames already con- ‘Suming the body politic. Their sympathies were undoubtedly with the working men, but they /}mew that the time was not ripe to place them 3 ih power.” | The “capitalistic class,” says Mrs. Decker, “‘is § all right when it knows that it is dependent upon } the majority for support.” Womer. voters, she ‘Says, will teach it this great principle. Each party will realize that it cannot expect the sup- ‘port of women unless it conducts public affairs

in an economical and just manner. “All this talk about Progressive Republicans and Liberal Democrats fails to impress me,” she continued. “Place the progressives of either party in absolute control of the governments to: morrow and within five years abuses would spring up as great as they are under the old leaders. Women voters will correct all this They will vote, either for their own candidates or. for the candidates that are acceptable to them. “You know a women changes her mind quick- ly. I am glad She does. It is a good thing for the human race that she is so easily impressed. If a p.rty in power doesn’t suit the woman voter she will soon aid in kicking it out. She will not be bound by party conditions and party ties.”

ANOTHER PORTRAIT OF MRS. DECKER “you spoke of women voting ror their own candidates. Do you expect to see women office- holders, ~md do you believe that they are quali- fled to perform the duties of public officials?” “I fully expected you to ask that,’ said Mrs. Decker, with a chuckle, because when Mrs. Deck- er is really amused she chuckles. When pleased she has a silvery laugh. “] don’t like to be continually pointing out tre abilities of women,” she said. ‘It seems an insult to the intelligence of the people to do so.

Ohio Town Is Without Policemen. HE most remarkable town in America, in some respects at least, is to be found among thehills of Southern Ohio. It is Ironsport, with 700 inhabitants, 10 miles east of Zanesville. The Ironsport Postoffice was closed on Tuesday, Oct. 31, because Joseph Barney, the Postmaster, said he had not sold a single stamp in five weeks nor had he received any incoming or outgoing mails. The people explain that they have no friends to write to’and that they are all too busy anyhow. There has not been an idle man in Ironsport since 1909. The mines are running full time and every miner owns his own home. Some time ago the Police Department disbanded, the Chief de- claring there had been no arrests made within six months and that it is only a waste of public money to keep salaried policemen. The village records one fire in two years and the damage then was $200. ' . LOUIS POST-DISPATOH, -DECEMBER 31, 1911.

A recent census showed that the population is composed of 637 Irishmen, 11 Welshmen and 5% Germans. Until October, 1911, there were only 11 men and women in fronsport who had “@ church.” A Zanesville priest recently reports that he had succeeded in converting these 12 sons. ce The school teachers of fronsport, four in) ber, declare that Ironsport children are Um bright, owing to the moral influence ft Not since a circus visited lronsport t ago has there been @ person so late as midnight. —

Co- quetry is to Spanish women, old and young, as essential as sun or air. This fact was impressed upon me at an American ball in Seville. “At intervals through the season Otero can- vasses the hotels. to justify it, he announces a ball in their honor— at $1 a head. These balis are not given in Otero’s studio, but in a public hall, whose location is so sinister and whose entrance is so suggestive of a bar that many Americans, repelled, fail to euter, and thus lose one of the institutional sights of old Seville. “Ame. icans come to these balls as spectators; Otero’s prize pupils are the dancers. The ball generaliy opens with a Madrilania, in whick the women wear mantillas and dance with the men; .a@ Sevilliana, a folk dance, in which all of Otero’s pupils participate, gracefully ends the evening. “IT had occasion at my first American ball] to pass down the room with one of Otero’s\ prize dancers, a radiant girl of 18.

In the admiration her beauty and grace evoked from them she expanded like a flower, exulted like a pleased child. All Spanish women in this respect are alike.” “You had private lessons with Otero?” ques- tioned a guest. “Certainly.” “Well, Spain has moved!” she gasped. “Twenty years ago it would have been impossible.”’ “When Otero learned I was from America,” said Miss Thomas, “his delight was unbounded. He led me to a room hung with portraits of his world-famous pupils. Before one he doffed his toreador cap. “‘Signora Weyman, my first American pupil, ‘the best I have had from any country,’ he said; ‘teaches Boston the dance. Now I have my first American senorita,’ he added. again doffing his toreador cap. Otero’s fame is not confined to his native Se- ville. He is known throughout the Continent, in Russia, wherever the dance is an art. One of his most celebrated pupils, La Belle Otero, who fol- lowed Carmencita to this country, took his name. Otero had the signal honor of personal summons to danee before the royal hougehold during the coronation week of George V. “It is the primitive simplicity of the man, his democratic surroundings, that impress the Ameri- an,” continued Miss Thomas. “Fancy a man of like reputation in New York. It would consume half one’s vitality to get an audience with him; half one’s income to take a lesson. + . Bull Fight Prints Cover Walls. eee “All Seville flocks to Otero. He is the people’s idol. Hig dancing school occupies two large rooms of his private residence, an old-time, un- pretentious house off the public thoroughfure, re- mote from fashion. Mornings and afternoons he reserves to private pupils. “Every night he is with his classes, old and young, rich and poor, a truly democratic gather- ing. The main hal] is large and dim, with candle and lantern light. Walls and ceiling are papered with gay prints of bull fights. This is to incite the dancers. On a bulletin board are posted the delinquent debtors. Two guitars and a piano fur- nish the music. As most of the dances call for castanets, every pupil is provided with them. The musicians are men. When not playing they smoke.

“SPANIARDS DO NOT ‘ANCE ON THEIR TOES” “In teaching Otero is assisted by his son and nephew. He dances once every evening with each woman. Should he overlook one there would be a riot.

“Personally he is of medium size, light of build and about 40 years old. His is the typical Span- igh face. He speaks neither French nor English. His son is his interpreter. He wears the toreador costume, as do all his male pupils—tight Napoleon knee breeches, gay waistcoat, short velvet bolero jacket and the toreador cap and high boots. “The women, old and young, wear short, full skirts, pink, blue or red, the favorite colors, more or less lace-flounced. Draped over bodice and skirt are soft silk-embroidered fringed shawls. These shawls vary in texture and workmans)bip. many being heirlooms of great beauty and value. “The shawls cling to the figure and fall over the bare arms in a seductively graceful, if not ravishing, manner. When shoes do not match the color of the skirt they are for the most part black or white. Black is the favorite, quite modern in cut. Unlike the French, the heels are medium if not low. The young girls wear high shell combs and many flowers in their dusky hair. “They keep dropping their combs as the Anglo- Saxon or French woman does her handkerchief. Every swain is on the alert to pick them up and return them to the owners with a gallantry, an eye language that is Greek to the American. “All Spanish dances are romances; they are bodily expressions of a story, usually dramatic, like the dance that depicts the bull fight. The favorite and most picturesque dances are named after various Spanish towns. There’s the ‘Ma- drilania,’ to recall Madrid; the ‘Sevilliana,’ for - sappeieisaalidasensasens

Still, in the midst of wars and alarms and false alarms, and suffragette ‘movements, I expect to bear up and do the best I can. In fact, I’ve been settin’ here mappin’ out some pussonal reforms and contemplated. im- provements for the New Year.” : “Goin’ to turn over a new leaf, huh?” inquired Mr. McGlue. “Not exactly,” said the old Judge. “I never turn’t over a new leaf yit that I didn’t find a licker advertisement on the next page. But I’m goin’ to endeavor to profit in the future by the experiences of the past and try to avoid a few pitfalls into which I’ve mighty nigh putfell sev- eral times durin’ the past 12 months. I’m layin’ by and cordin’ up quite a stock of resolutions that’ll be suitable for spring and summer wear durin’ the ensuin’ year. “Ror example, I have resolved not at no time to git unduly het up and excited over the ques- tion of the initiative and referendum, ’cause look what it’s done to poor Woodrow Wilson. In the matter of wimmin smokin’ in public, which has been the cause of mucn comment in these parts, | also expect to remain puffectly ca’m and collected. Down in my country wimmin have been smokin’ in public for years, only they run more to pipes and less to cigaroots. And so I shall restrain myself and not interfere, always rememberin’ that woman gets what she wants in this country and gin’rally gets it so quick that she’s’ through wantin’ it by the time she gits it. If wimmin want to smoke in public and to vote in public, they’ll do so in due time, but I doubt if they'll ever learn to care deeply for two such heretofore mas- culine pursoots. But in any event, I’m resolved not to interfere. Bein’ picked to death by crowin’ hens is my ideal of no way to die. “I hav» also obtained my OWN consent not to become too enthusiastic over politics durin’ the Seviire. In the Mad:siuanuia the women wear. mantillas and dance with the men. : 3 “The Madrilania fairly reeks with coquetry. Otero never uses music when giving a private ae son, He teaches the demonstration. He sets out to dance with the pupil at once, taking the as one teaches a child to walk. He snaps ] finger, whistles or hums for accompaniment f lieu of piano or guitar.” “His patience,” declares Miss Thomas, “is mar- velous. Unlike the French, who stand on the toes, the Spanish stand firm on the feet. This i the radical difference between French and Span- ish dancing. The Spanish are very primitive; they think only of the joy they feel, they wish to express in the poetry of motion, while the French never lose sight of technique. ee § “My private lessons with Otero were often amusing pantomime,” she continued. “His son’s attempts to interpret were additional fun. 1 Had a notebook in which I jotted down Otero’s in-} © structions and my observations.

Because of its many advantages, combined with a very smart appearance, the helmet is becoming very popular in America. Its simplicity of con- struction makes it an easy problem for the home milliner, and for the same reason the materiz' necessary to make such a hat is within the reach of every purse. The great vogue of black and white, which was referred to on this page a short time ago, may be considered responsible for another very pretty and very popular hat. Its general design is inodification of the sombrero, although, of . course, it is not so highly out of proportion. The hat is of black and white only. The under surface of the brim is black and the upper is white. The crown is a solid black, relieved by large flowers of white wool. It will be seen, however, that this color scheme taay be modified or adapted to suit any taste. The stems and leaves of the flowers may be laid on and should, of course, be green. The hearts of the: blossom also may be utilized to reflect bril- liant spots of color, red, yellow, brown or ary one of many other shades. A hat in which the plain black and white is enhanceti by such a color scheme is illustrated here. The reader will at once observe the similarity between the “fireman’s helmet” and the velvet hat with a high pompon of feathers, shown above.
