STEWART DEAD HOURS WHEN TROL FLEDONESTAT Public Administrator Acted Be- fore News of Tragedy Was on the Street.

AGENT KILLED IN WRECK

Official Took Charge of Effects While Widow Was in Washington.

Records of the Probate Court Wednes- day revealed that Public Administrator Troll took possession of Guy L. Ste- wart’s estate at 12:43 p. m. Tuesday be- fore newspapers were on the street with account: of Stewart's death in a raii- road accident. Stewart, who was agricultural agent for the Cotton Belt Railroad, was in- cinerated in his private car at Kelso, Mo., when it was hit from behind by an Iron Mountain freight train at 3:40 2. m. Tuesday. When an effort was made to learn how Troll «new of Stewart’s death, Troll was not in his office... His chief deputy, William F. Bohn, said all information must come from Troll. Later when Troll returned to his office the question was put to him. “Mr. Stewart’s attorney notified us of his death.” he said. ‘I do not recall the attorney’s name. Mr. Bohn knows it, but he is not in the office now.” Campbell Allison was Stewart’s attor- ney. When asked how Troll learned of the death, Allison said: “‘I do not know. I did not notify him. When I learned that he knew of it I went to Troll’s office and it was agreed that he take charge of the estate.”’ His Wife Asks for His Body. Mrs. Stewart, in an interview ct her home in Washington, D. C., Wednesday gave no indication that she knew Ste- wart had filed a suit for divorce in St. Louis Nov. 3 last. She asked that the body be sent to Washington for burial. It had been previously announced that it would be taken to his parents’ home at Gaylord, Mich. The principal allegation in Stewart's petition was that his wife did not cure to come to St. Louis to live. He said he had offered to send his private car to Washington for her. Papers in the suit had been served on the wife. The three roads whose trains were ‘n- volved in the collision have started a rigid investigation to fix responsibility. According to statements given out by the Missouri Pacific one train crew has reported that signal lights were dis- played properly at the rear of Stew- art’s car, attached to the Cotton Beit pas: nger train. Whether the signals were displayed or whether they were ig- nored by the Iron Mountain crew is the main point to be settled by the in- vestigation. RUNS FOR CAR; TAKEN ILL

Theodore Roosevelt’s advice as to what he should do to urge prosecution of the Harvester company and Roose- velt had said: ““‘You’d better come to see me later about that.”’ ‘‘Later,”’ said Lowe, “I was astound- ed to learn that Mr. Roosevelt had placed a clean bill of health on the United States Steel Corporation. I also received a letter from Mr. Roosevelt Stating that he could give me no ad- vice on the Harvester company, and asking me to ‘drop in any Friday morn- ing and I'll explain why.’ ”’ Nagel in Conference. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel participated in the discussion. W. H. Green of Creighton, Neb., a vet- eran dealer in farm machinery, declared that the so-called Harvester and Steel trusts, the National City Bank of New York and the great,transportation sys- tems of the country were dominated by the same directorates. Green urged the committee not to give the “Harvester Trust’? an im munity bath. He asserted that the com- pany had raised prices’ {ror “ “to 2 per cent. Lowe charged that in the formation of, the “trust” the smaller manufacturers were frozen out. The actual work of forining the trust, ne déclared, was di- rected by J. Pierpont Morgan through George W. Perkins. “Charles R. Flint, he added, was the original promoter, who turned his affairs over to Morgan & Co. ‘We propose to show,’ said Lowe, “that the United States Steel Co. gives rebates to the International Harvester Co., and that the Belt Line Railroad in Chicago obstructs freight traffic of in- dependent companies.” Sells Cheaper Abroad, He also charged that the ‘“‘trust’’ sold goods at home at a profit of 100 per cent and sold abroad almost at cost, de- manding cash from American farmers and giving long-term contracts to for- eign trade. ‘‘We charge that the International Harvester Co., through the National City Bank,’’ Lowe continued, ‘‘can break any independent concern in the United States.”’

ROBERT MANTELL AT 58 TAKES GIRL 23FOR ATH WIFE Famous Shakspearean Actor] Marries One of His Company in Pueblo, Colo.

The news today from Pueblo, Colo., that Robert Bruce Mantell, the actor, had married Miss Genevieve Hamper of Detroit, a member of his company, aroused interest in theatrical circles, as it makes Mantell a strong rival of Nat Goodwin and Lillian Russell for pro- gressive matrimonial honors. The new Mrs. Mantell is the fourth. Mantell became a widower Oct. # last, when his third wife, Marie Booth Russell, died at Atlantic Highlands. Miss Russell had been her husband's leading lady in Shakspearean roles for several seasons. She began failing from heart disease’ in June, and when her condition became critical, Mantell, who was playing in Pittsburg, hurried home on a special train, reaching her only half an hour before she died. For a time he appeared to be inconsolable. The first Mrs. Mantell was known to the stage as Mary Sheldon. In 1893 she brought suit for divorce, naming Char- lotte Behrens as corespondent. Miss Behrens, his leading lady, was the wife of Edward F. Huhn, manager of “The Spider and the Fly”’ company. Mantell and Miss Behrens denied the charges, and Huhn challenged Mantell to fight a duel in Kentucky, across the river from Cincinnati, but Mantell declined. Mrs. Mantell obtained her divorce. Married Misxg Behrens. Mantell married Miss Behrens, who sad obtained a divorce from Huhn in Chicago on the grounds of desertion in 1886. In August, 1900, Mantell secretly mar- ried Marie Booth Russell. The ceremony was performed in Jersey City. The bride in private life was a Miss Peters of Brooklyn. For several years anc up to the time of her illness, she was 4 co- star with her husband. After Mantell’s marriage tp» Behrens, her husband sued him fo: alienation of his wife's affeccions, burt the action was dropped. He had also, Miss according to report, threatened to kill Mantell if the latter marned Miss Behrens. For about ten years, or until 1902, Man- tell was unable to play in New York be- cause of arrests in the $10 a week ali- mony awarded to his first wife. When stood he had settled all claims by the payment of $6000. He In SS Years Old. Mantell is a Scotchman and is 58 years old. He made his first appearance in England in 1874 and came to this coun- try in 1878 as the “juvenile” in Mme. Modjeska’s company. Jack P.

LONDON, Jan. 17.—The British Isles are suffering from a storm which is causing havoc along the coasts and in- terior. Small vessels and fishing craft. are reported to have gone ashore. An unidentified three-masted steamer foundered with all hands near Peter Head. From the size of the steamer it is thought probable that she came ‘from America. Apparently she was not heav- ily loaded. When first sighted she was drifting helplessly before the gale and flying distress signals; then suddenly she rolled over and plunged down headiirst.

Chief of Police Young received an anonymous letter Wednesday telling all about “a big gambling game flourishing under the noses of the police in the saloon of J. F. Fritz at 927 Manchester avenue.’’ Detectives Peter Wells and Breen were sent out to investigate. When they returned to police head- quarters, Detective Wells carried an en- velope containing nine peanuts and Breen had a slip calling for ‘‘ten cents in trade at the bar.’’ “that’s a nicxel’'s worth,” said Wells, as he exhibited the diminutive bag of goobers. “See what I got for my nickel,” said Breen, and he showed his trading Slip. “And I got nine peanuts, too.” The detectives then explained that when they visited Fritz’s saloon they found a peanut slot machine. “You drop a nickel-in the slot and get nine peanuts,”’ said Wells. “Maybe you get a slip with the peanuts.» Maybe it is only a blank slip and, then-again, maybe it’s a slip calling for trade. Maybe is calls for 5 cents’ worth of trace and maybe it calls for a dollar’s worth. May- be the machine takes in $48 before it is ;}empty and maybe all the slips and pea- nuts in it are worth about $15. Maybe it’s a gamble and maybe it ain’t. I told Fritz he could stay in his saloon, but that the machine would have to go. I understand there are about fifty such machines around town, but I don’t know where they are located. If I find out they will have to go.’ MOTHER AND BABY BURNED No Hope for Parent Who Uses Explosive Polish.

NO DEFINITE CONCLUSION Conference of the Imperial Clans Is Continued Until Next Friday. By Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. 17.—Further discussion of the question of the abdication of the Chinese throne has been adjourned un- til Friday, according to a news agency dispatch from Tien Tsin. The confer- ence held today by the princes of the Imperial clan at the palace was Incon- clusive. The Empress Dowager during the con- ference was keenly affected by her po- sition. She wept bitterly as she in- formed the princes that sne though the abdication of the throne had become im- perative. Prince Ching, the former Premier, as- sented to this view, but the younger princes took an attitude of strenous Op- position to the passiveness of Prince Ching and urged the Empress Dowager to refuse to abdicate. ‘ Death of Yuan Was to Have Been Signal for Uprisinvug, LONDON, Jan. 17.—The bomb thrower who attempted the life of Yuan Shi Kai yesterday has confessed that the assassination of the Premier was to have been the signal for a general ris- ing in Peking, says a Peking dispatch to the Daily Telegraph, and the whole southeast portion of the city is now picketed with troops and a house-to- house search has resulted in the dis- covery of a bomb factory and the ar- rest of several men having bombs in their possession. There are persistent rumors of an attempt to poison the Em- press Dowager, who, however, becom- ing suspicious, refused to partake of the fatal cup. x ASKED A QUICK BURIAL

LEWIS ASSISTS THEM —_ -—_ When Lawyers Tire, He Takes Turn at Reading Matters to Go Into the Record. HERMANN, Mo., Jan. 17.—The sec- ond day of the trial of the suit of BE. G. Lewis against the Pulitzer Publishing Co. (the Post-Dispatch) for $750,000 dam- ages On account of the publication of the findings of the postoffice inspectors who examined the People’s United States Bank in 1905 opened with the resumption of documentary evidence in- te.ded to show the character and ex- tent of the bank’s operations. The entire forenoon session was oc- cupied with the reading of minutes of the board of directors of the People’s United States Bank. Lewis assisted in the reading. The minutes’ revealed propositions received from the Univer- sity Heights Realty and Development Co. for a loan of $610,000, and of the Lewis Publishing Co. for a loan of $40,- 000. On the application of the realty com- pany, the board after investigation of the value of the company’s holdings, accepted. On the receipt subsequently of an opinion from Attorneys Barclay and Fauntleroy that the proposition was mot acceptable until certain formalities had been complied with the board direct- ed that the loan be temporarily made on notes of-the realty company with existing mortgages as collateral. Other Loans Called In, The cashier, according to the minutes, had previously been directed to call in as many loans as might be necessary in order to make the loan to the realty company. The application of the Lewis Publishing Co. represented that the net earnings of the company exceeded $350,000 a year, that the company’s as- sets exclusive of the Woman’s Maga- zine and the Farm Journal was $32,- amo and the value of the two pub- lications was $2,000,000. The loan of $40,000 asked for was to be used in paying off other banks and a debt of $200,000 to Lewis. The Board of Directors, for the con- solidation of their mutual interests, or- dered the loan made. The minutes of May 30, 1905, showed a loan of $66,- 666.66 to be made to Frank J. Carlisle to be secured by stock of the St. Louis Star. June 5 the order was rescinded because the stock had not been deposited, Ob- jection of Attorney Green against the reading of minutes after June 1, 1905, the date of the publication on which the suit is filed, was overruled. The min- utes of June 5, 1905, after the publica- tion, contained the statement of Lewis in an advertisement that the deposits the day before had been larger than on any day for a month past. Minutes of the meetings held during June, 1905, showed resignations of em- ployes of Lewis as directors and the election in their stead of St. Louis busi- hess men. A letter from Secretary of State Swanger was read directing that loans to the Lewis Publishing Co., the Uni- versity Heights Realty and Develop- ment Co, and to Lewis himself be elimi- nated. In his opening statement to the jury Tuesday afternoon Judge Sh2pard Bar- clay, for the plaintiff, said that the two per cent which, according to the instect- or’s reports, was paid to depositors when no dividend had been earned and the bank was insolvent, was the interest allowed by local banks in which the funds were deposited before the Peo- — —___ SASAKWA LADY HELPED After Losing Heart She Tried Cardui, the Woman's Tonic, and Is Now All Right. od ‘‘T am almost unable to describe my experience,’’ says Mrs. Beckey Barrett, of this place. ‘‘I suffered so for over two years, with womanly troubles, and had such pains, that I Was unable to stand on my feet.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. HO IVENTSREAD REMBRANOT fo Girl’ s Diamonds Vanishat Washington University; MARIE GEORGIA S°U LLI VANax... RTAAIT. a Miss Georgia Sullivan’s $400 Rings Lost—Students Form Protective Association. Following the report that two valuable rings belonging to Miss Georgia Sul- livan had disappeared at Washington University, where she is a student, res- idents of the men’s dormitories have formed a secret protective association vith a view of stopping pilfering at the school. Miss Sullivan left her rings on a wash- stand Friday evening and forgot them. She returned to the university Satur- day and had the authorities post a notice of her loss, but no trace of the rings was found. Room Open Only to Women, One of the rings was set with a 2- karat diamond, which her father, J. F. Sullivan of 5173 Raymond avenue, had given to her mother many years ago. It was a present to the daughter on eee aa pa — a her eighteenth birthday, which came about three months ago. The other was set with an emerald surrounded by four diamonds. The in- trinsic value of each is placed at $200. The room where the rings were lost is open only to women. Miss Sullivan was graduated in 1910 from Visitation Convent and was a maid of honor the same year at the Veited Prophet’s ball. She is a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Chancellor Houston told a Post-Dis- patch reporter that Washington Uni- versity has been more nearly free from theft and pilfering than most schools of its size, and yet the loss reported by Mi:s Sullivan, though partly due to care- lessness, Was evidently the work of a dishonest person. Young men at the university report petty thefts have been committed con- tinually in. the university dormitories and cloak rooms. Not even small change can be left unguarded, they declare, In forming their protective associa- tion, they have to prevent a condition like that of last year, when pilfering at the university became 60 exasper- ating private detectives had to be em- ployed. ~~ ple’s Bank was ready for business. The act of Lewis in turning this in- terest over to the depositors was char- acterized as gracious and generous. Attorney John Green, for the defense, told the jury that the evidence would disclose that between the date of the publication in the Post-Dispatch on which the suit is based and the date of the issuance of a fraud order, the business of the bank increased, showing that it was the fraud order and not the publication that affected the bank’s business. Lewis Reads for Lawyer. The afternoon session was occupied with the presentation of documentary evidence. There was so much reading to be done that Lewis went to the aid of his lawyers and read some of the state- ments and depositions to the jury. In the deposition of Fred Essen, for- mer receiver for the bank, he stated that the bank was doing a good busi- ness when he took charge of it, with $200,000 on hand, and that he paid al) obligations and 8 per cent to the stock- holders. Amusement was caused by the reading, among the list of loans, of several for which different articles of jewelry were collateral. The deposition of W. C. Steigers, busi- ness manager Of the Post-Dispatch, con- tained the statement that the circulation of the Post-Dispatch in June, 195. the tim» of the publications comp'‘ained of, was about 150,000 a day.

WOMAN CALLS UNION ~ STATION FOR PLUMBER Thinks “It’s Just’ Awful’? When Bureau of Information Is Un- able to Send One. Arthur Brauner, clerk in the informa- tion bureau at Union Station, answered a telephone call at 6:45 a2. m. Wednes- day, expecting to hear somebody 7:30 stead, however, the voice a woman who evidently was in distress struck his well-trained ear with this appeal: “For goodness sage, send me a plumb- er, quick!”’ Brauner explained that’ he was in the information bureau at the station and not very well supplied with plumbers at that moment. “I know where you are, all right,’ said the woman, “but I want you to find a plumber anyway and send him to me. I’ve been trying all morning to get one. The water pipes are broken and flooding the house.”’ Again Brauner explained that the bn- reau knew all about trains but nothing about plumbers. “Well, I think that’s just awfy],” the distressed one complained, “Do you want to see me drowned?" The woman then hung up the receiver. ask what time the train departs.

REDUCTION URGED N1$12,000 LEWIS RECEIVERS BIL Special Master Thinks Estimate From Aug. 3 to Nov. 16 Is Too Liberal. MaSter Waiter D. Coles, in his report Wednesday on the report of Special expenses filed by Matt G. Reynolds as receiver for the E. G. Lewis properties, recommends that John H. Williams, who was in charge of the Lewis reorganization work and who, Reynolds suggested, should be re- warded for services to the receiver. He also expresses the opinion that Rey- nolds’ expenses should be reduced. The report was filed in the Federal court. The Reynolds’ report, filed some time ago, covers the period from Aug. 8 to Nov. 16, 1911, when the various pro- ceedings against the Lewis concerns were merged under a blanket bank- ruptcy proceeding. He asked $3000 for his own services, $1500 each for Eugene H. Angert and the law firm of Stern & Haberman, and $990 for William lL. Morsey, receiver's agent. He also sug- gested that Williams be paid whatever the court saw fit, if it found that he had heen of. service to the receiver. nothing be. paid to It has been roughly estimated that the total expenses of the receivership from Aug. 3 to Nov. 16 were about $12,000, Coles reports that he finds Williams’ services were not given in connection with the receivership in any way. “During the period covered,” says the report, ‘‘the receiver has had_-in his ray a number of employes at substan- tial salaries, and for that reason his ex- penses have been unusually large. As the receiver has now completed his in- ventory, and is not carrying on an ac- tive business, but merely charged with the duty of conserving and liqui- dating the asets of the defendant com- panies, the special master is of the opinion that his expenses can be and should be substantially reduced.’’ DYER SETS ASIDE $445,000 FINDING is Judge Dyer in the United States Dis- trict Court Wednesday set aside the recommendation of Henry H. Denison, referee, giving to the Wolf Bros. Shoe Co. of Cincinnati $445,311.55 . damages against the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., for alleged infringement of trade mark, and awarded Wolf Bros. $1 nominal damages. Judge Dyer also assessed the costs, about $7500, against the plaintiffs. The court ordered additional fees of $2000 paid to Denison, who already has THINK OF IT oe Stop and think qa moment about that cough that bothers you so much. You must have been run-down when you got it, for if you had been perfectly strong your system wouid have thrown it off in two or three days. Take our advice about this—what you really need is to build up your strength and enrich your blood; then the cough will disappear. We know it. Carl Schultz of Coney Island, N. Y., says: “It only took two bottles of your delicious cod liver and iron preparation, Vinol, to put me on my feet again when I was all run down with a gevere cough and col¢ which had lasted two months. 1 am recommending it to all my friends.” Vinol is the greatest strength cre- ator and body builder we have ever seen, and besides its value in heal- ing up.weak, sore lungs, it gives new stfength and vitality to all weak, pale, run-down people. We guarantee Vinol to do this and give back your money if you are not sat- isfied. Chester Kent & Co., Chem- ists. For sale by Wolff-Wilson Drug received $3100 for his work in the case.

NCY LABORATORIES, 32 West 25th COMMON GARDEN SAGE RESTORES GRAY AND FADED HAIR TO 17S NATURAL COLOR The old idea of using sage for darkening the hair is again coming in vogue, Our grandmothers used to have dark, glossy hair at the age of 75, while our mothers have white hair before they are 50. Our grand- mothers used to make a “sage tea” and apply it to their hair. The tea made their hair soft and glossy, and rradually restored the natural color. One objection to using such a prep- aration was the trouble of making it, especially as it had to be made every two or three days, on account of souring quickly. This objection has been overcome, and by asking al- most any first-class druggist for Co., St. Louis, Mo. rote, Wainy eathattnd o Se Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- be questioned As additional hicle makers: Argo Electric Vehicle Co.

Tried Medicines, Etc., Nearly3 Years. In Eternal Misery, Started Using Cuticura Remedies. Now Has No Sign of Skin Disease, Corbin, Kan. —‘'My troubles began along in the summer in the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse uatil finally my beck was covered with a maas of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condi- tion kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. ‘*I tried various blood medicines and other remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sieep on my back or lean back on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies by my brother who recommended them to me very highly. I started using the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, intment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months’ time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now I am in good Health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies are the best ever made for skin diseases. I will always recommend them to anybody who will use according to direc- tions. I would not be without them.” (Signed) W. A. Armstrong, May 26, 1911.

HARPER'S DROPS WILSON'S BOOM AT HIS REQUES Governor Tells Editor of Weekly That Publication Is Hurting His Chances.

Ry Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The following announcement appears at the head of the editorial page of Harper’s Weekly in its issue today: “TO OUR READERS. “We make the following reply to many

inquiries from readers of Harper's Weekly: “The name of Woodrow Wilson as our candidate for President was taken down from the head of these columns in response to a statement made to us directly by Gov. Wilson, to the effect that our support was affecting his can- didacy injuriously. he only course left open to us, in simple fairness to Mr. Wilson, no less than in consideration of our own self- respect, Was to cease to advocate his nomination. “We make this explanation with great reluctance and deepest regret. But we cannot escape the conclusion that the very considerable numbers of our rea‘l- ers who have co-operated earnestly and loyally in advancing a movement which was inaugurated solely in the hope of rendering a high public service, are clearly entitled to this information.”

The legitimate PAID circulation of the Post-Dispatch in St, Louis and its suburbs is greater than that of ALL other English Dailies COM- BINED. 2300 MEN TO BE PUT BACK TO WORK The National Enameling and Stamp- ing Co.'s plant at Second and Destre- han streets will resume operations next week, giving employment to 800 men, according to Thomas K, Nied- ringhaus. The Granite City plant, i which several departments are tem- porarily closed for repairs, will also resume work with its full force of 3000 men next week, Niedringhaus said W ednesday. The plant at Second and Destrehan streets has been shut down since Nov. 4. exiccept in a few departments, in which 200 men are employed. Lack of crders is given as the reason for re- ducing the force. Many of the men have been out of employment since that time. About 1500 men are employed in the Granite City plant in departments kept running while the annual overhauling

of the plant is being made.

GAS INYOUR STOMACH CANNOT EXIST With Baalmann's Gas Tablets. This is the most valuable prescription ever put intoa bottle. We have never seen or heard of a case of Gas in the Stomach or Bowels which Baal- mann’s Gas Tablets have ever failea to effect a cure. We know that this sounds absurd; ridiculous and pre- posterous. Yet it is simply a pity and a shame to allow any human being to suffer with Gas in the Stom- ach and Bowels in any form when you can get such valuable Remedy as Baalmann’s Gas Tablets for 5(c at drug stores. These peculiar tablets are sold for 50c a bottle by nearly every drug- gist.

Mrs. Tenny Declares Man Often Threatened to Kill Himself and Finally Left Her. a

Tenney Mrs. Margaret Nash testified Wednesday in her divorce suit at Clay- ton that her husband, Fred D. was jealous of their son Rollin, 15 years old, and of all relatives, male or female. She got a decree by default and was awarded custody of the boy. Tenney, she said, is in San Francisco. Mrs. Tenney resides in | Webster Groves. Tenney’s jealousy was so extreme that it often prompted him to feign suicide and make threats of killing him- self, Mrs. Tenney other witnesses said. Mrs. FB. M. sister of Mrs. Tenney and wife of the East St. Louis manager for the Pabst Brewing Co., testified that once heard breathing heavily in his room entering found him lying a coma.

Mrs. Tenney said that on one occa- sion when she and her husband were returning in a crowded car from. an amusement park he became so jealous of a woman friend with whom she was sitting that he roughly pulled the wom- an from the seat and took it himself. He also had a habit of calling his sen by telephone, she said, and telling him that he must be a good boy if he saw his father again. The Tenneys were married in Mem- phis, May 30, 1893, and came _ to St. Louis from Texas in 1907, residing at 4519 West Pine boulevard. They sepa- rated June 15, 1998, when Tenney left in anger and did not return, Mrs. Ten- ney said. Mrs. Tenney appeared in court hand- somely gowned.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The seven-story warehouse of the Terminal Storage Co, occupying a city block, near the North River front between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets and contain- ing merchandise valued at more than $10,000,000, was swept by fire early today. The fire was discovered a few minutes after midnight. It was not under con- trol until 6:45 o’clock, When the ioss was estimated at $1,250,000. Five alarms, sounded in quick succes- sion, summoned to the scene prictically every available piece of fire figl ting ap- paratus in Manhattan, and this was re- inforced by fire boats. The Terminal Storage Co.’s warehouse was of brick and concrete and was re- garded as one of the most modern build- ings in that part of the city. It was the largest structure of its kind in New York. While the building itself was fireproof and _ protected by fire walls, sprinklers and all other modern fire prevention apparatus, its contents, consisting mostly of goods awaiting de- livery to the big New York department stores, was of the most inflammable nature. The building was divided into four sections by fire walls two feet thick. One of the sections was controlled by John Wanamaker and contained tiner- chandise consigned to. him. Another section was rented by Gimbel Bros.. while the two remaining sections las as tenants nearly fifty smalier firms. The fire started in the Wanamaker compartment and worked its way through the fire wall to the Gimbel sec- tion. Both these sections were destroyed Rheumatism Advice Prominent Doctor’s Best Pre- scription Easily Mixed at Home. “From your druggist ounce of Toris compound (in orig- inal sealed package) and one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla compound. Take these two ingredients home and put them into a half pint of good whiskey. Shake the bottle and take a tablespoonful before each meal and at bed time.” This is said to be the quickest and best remedy known to the medical] pro- fession for rheumatism and back- ache. Good results come after the first dose. If your druggist does not have Toris compound in stock he will get it for you in a few hours from his wholesale house. Don’t be influenced to take a patent medi- cine instead of this. Insist on hav- ing the genuine Toris compound in the original one ounce, sealed, yel- low package, Hundreds of the worst cases were cured here by this prescription last winter.—ADYV.

By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. The Washington University track team this season faces the most pretentious schedule it has attempted in years. The team is booked to compete in at least four big meets and one relay carnival. To the students this list of dates will be a pleasing surprise, as from present indications the myrtle and maroon track squad, like the football and basket ball teams, seems to be the most formidable that the Pikeway men could boast of in years. The athletes have been late in getting ou for early training. That’s because of the cold weather. The cross-country men have been held back for the same reason and it has been deemed advisable to keep the men off the indoor track. A MOVING PICTURE, IN 3 REELS. Reel One.

J. O'CONNOR. , When members of the St. Louis Bowling Association foregather at the Marquette Ho- tel next Sunday, one of the principal ques- tions to come up will be the feasibility of changing the present handicap system. When the annual city tournament was held last year, the handicaps were computed on what is known as a 75 per cent basis. This year there is an agitation on—and it’s a strong one—to reduce the percentage to 60 per cent. Some even demand 50 per cent and a merry old powwow is promised Sun- day. Bowling handicaps are computed as fol- lows: On March 17, the secretary of every league that is a member of the City Asso- ciation will send the association secre- tary; Dennis Sweeney, the averages of all the teams, together with the pin totals, for the season past. The individual averages and team totals also will be sent. If a man | bowls in three leagues his averages and pin totals in each league must be sent to Swee- to a ably will be added to the Board of Govern- ors. 4 Expectations are that at least 200 bow!- ers will attend Sunday’s meeting, which will be held in the banquet hall. This is spacious enough to accommodate such a mob. Officers of the association are plan- ning on having at least 40 leagues within the fold next season with no less than 320 clubs. The entrance fee for each club is $2. Another important bit of business will be the indorsement of J. D. Wooster Lambert for president of the American Bowling Congress. Wooster was indorsed last Sunday, but this will be done over again, to make stre. Bowlers are all strong for the new idea of having two men share the same alley in singles. Last year one man was given an alley all to himself, and this proved a strenuous task. This year the bowlers will roll in the doubles, then stick right to their post and run off the singles, two men using the same run-way. More speed and less work.

Jakie Geyer, the Cardinal flinger, who once had the distinction of being the highest- priced recruit on the local National League club’s roster, narrowly missed an attack ,of blood poisoning as a result of having his foot pierced by a rusty nail, according to a letter received by Ed Koney Tuesday. Geyer is wintering in the wilds of Northern Minne- sota, where he owns a strip of timber land. Geyer has been hunting all winter, shoot- ing for big game in the snowbound regions. He is accompanied by Josh Clarke and a few other ball tossers. About two weeks ago he stepped on @ nail and the wound He was far from medical aid and in a pretty precarious position when a physician arrived. He has been on crutches ever since, but tells Koney that he expects to be up and about on both feet before arcther week. He has been declared out of danger by the doctor. Geyer Cost Cards $4500. With the exception of Bresnahan, who ap- prcximated as high @ price as the much- talked-of Marty O'Toole. if all the assets that the late M. Staniey Robison turned loose to get the Duke were accurately totaled, Geyer cost the local club more than any other man on the roster. In round figures just $4500 was paid for Geyer to the Colum- bus club. His first year here Geyer was uselens because Of @ lame shoulder. He rcunded to last season and won his spurs as @ relief fiinger. Towards the fag end of the season he was taking hie regular turn on the hillock and prospering.

O. Brown 12 Pounds and Win? That’s the Question All New York Is Trying to Answer Now. NEW YQRK, Jan. 17.—Only one more day and the long-taiked-of bout between Knock- out Brown and Abe Attell will be staged. Both boys will end their training today. Both are anxious to get into action, and when they face each other at the National Sport- ing Club tomorrow night the crowd should witness a contest full of action from _ the first to the tenth round—provided they go the limit. There are many fans who believe that not even Attell, champion that he is, can give K. O. the weight he is conceding and win. They say that Brown will be declared the winner, for they figure that alk Brown has to do is to get one of his terrific southpaw punches in the champion’s midsection and that from then on, so far as cleverness is concerned. they will be on an equal basis. Brown’s punch is known to be terrific, and if Attell runs full tilt against it he is sure to drop. On the other hand the supporters of the champion claim that he will outbox the Dutchman from the first to the tenth round; that. his lightning left hand and his won- derful shifts and his ring generalship will carry him to sure victory. Gibbons vs. Denning. Two boxers who are equally matched in weight and science are matched for 10 rounds at the Fairmont A. C. on Jan, 23. They are Mike Gibbons, the sensational we!- terweight of St. Paul, and Jack Denning, the scientific boxer of New York. This should be & first-class battle. Both have won with such ease over many of their opponents that it is @ case of ‘‘Greek meet- ing Greek’’ when they clash. That the fans appreciate what a fine exhi- bition of boxing thie should be is shown by the great demand for reservations.

Wallace, manager of the Browns, arrived in the city at noon Wednesday. He will make his home here for the remainder of the season. Wallace will attend the schedule meet- ing of the American League, due to be held in Chicago in February, where he hopes to conciude a deal or two. Wallace is more optimistic of the fu- ture of the Browns than most of the merely casual observers of the team’s progress. He figures that the club has at least a chance to get out of the eigh\ hole, due to improved pitching and strengthened in field and outfield. Bobby figures to put Platt at second base next spring and send Laporte witt. his mighty bat to strengthen the outer garden. He hopes for much more froin his pitching staff than was shown last season, and he figures on stopping a few youngsters on their way back from the big leagues to the minors to fill out his feeble catching department, LONESOME HEDGES TO MOVE DOWNTOWN Col. Hedges is lonesome. Following the close of the 1911 season he thought it would be a good idea to move his office te Sportsman’s Park. There he has spent much of his time during the off-season, but he finds it anything but pleasant to gaze out on the snow- covered diamond. For that reason the Colonel has de- cided to move downtown again. He has engaged a suite in the New Bank of Commerte Building and says he, along with Secretary Rickart and Assistant Secretary Mason, will be on the job -t Broadway and Olive next week. ney on separate blanks. How It Works Out. Then Sweeney, who has studied algebra and mental arithmetic, will determine the season’s average of every team and every individual. This done, he will select the five-man team that has the best average and make that the scratch team, The sec- ond best team then will be taken up. Swee- ney will determine the difference between the team totals of the two clubs per game, and right here is where the argument comes in. Suppose the Union Sodas averaged 900 pins to the game all season and the Washingtons averaged only 890 pins. There is a differ- ence of 10 pins to each game. Now the question is whether the Washingtons should receive a handicap of 60 per cent of the difference between their game totals and that of the Union Sodas, or whether they should receive a 75 per cent handicap. Sixty per cent of 10 is 6. Seventy-five per cent of 10 is 71% or 8, as it would be computed. Bowlers contend that a 75 per cent handi- cap is too much, That is, some bowlers do. Others claim it isn’t enough. And so the pin-topplers intend to get together Sunday and settle once and for all on this trouble- some question. The Western Rowing Club teams roll on @ 50 per cent basis. The Washington, Royal Arcanum and Knights of Pythias Leagues use a 75 per cent basis. Ameling Scratch Mant Present indications are that Jerry Ameling will be scratch man in the next city tour- nament, which will be held in April. Ameling and Fuerman probably will toe the scratch in the doubles, while Ameling’s Union Soda five stands an excellent chance of being the scratch entry in that division. Reason: They have the heftiest averages in the City League, the major league of bowling. Officers of the City Association are: Charies M. Barker, president; Gus Schneider, first vice-president; E, B. Couchman, sec- ond vice-president: Harry Fuchs, third vice- president; W. H. Hoppe. fourth vice-presi- dent: Martin Kern, treasurer, and Dennis Sweeney, secretary. New officers will be elected Sunday and it is said that practically the same officials will be re-elected.

SNEAD IS INDICTED OR KILLING FATHER OF WIFE'S AFFINITY Banker Is Denied Bail and It Is Expected Trial Wiil Be Held in Two Weeks.

GRAND JURY HEARS WIFE

She Is Said to Have Testified Boyce Jr. Gave Her Love That Husband Denied.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. FORT WORTH, Tex., Jan. 17.—J. B. Snead, the millionaire Amarillo banker, was indicted at noon today, the grand jury charging him with the murder of A. G. Boyce Sr., a wealthy cattleman, whose son eloped with Mrs. Snead re- cently. The case was transferred to Judge Swayne’s court to permit a speedy trial. Attorneys say the trial will start in two weeks. Bail was denied. The killing of Boyce occurred Satur- day night in the Metropolitan Hotel lobby. | After reports had been spread that Mrs. Snead had disappeared, she testi- fied yesterday before the grand jury. Clad in a neat-fitting blue suit and heavily veiled, she was examined for an hour and told in detail the story of her elopement with A. G. Boyce Jr., in November. Mrs. Snead said her husband put her in a sanitarium here against her will, it is reported, and that she felt he had neglected her. Young Boyce met her here Nov. 9, and that they went first to St. Louis. They were arrested in Winnipeg. She admitted she loved Boyce still, it is said, but regretted she was compelled to be unfaithful to her husband. She came back after his earnest pleadings because of pity, she is said to have testified. She declared her husband made no threats against any of the Boyces be- fore her, although he had expressed himself bitterly against them. Mrs. Snead also is reported to have told of the former friendliness of the families and how young Boyce gave her love which was denied her. She knew of no reason why her husband should kill the elder Boyce. Mrs. Snead had been kept at Arling- ton Heights Sanitarium ever since the killing Saturday and the Sneads gave it out she had been taken from the city. Armed guards patrolled the sani- tarium grounds. When Deputy Sheriff Music yesterday went to the sanitarium he was informed she was not there. He insisted on an investigation, and only threats of ar- resting the sanitarium authorities in- duced them te bring her from her room, The Deputy took her to the court- house in an automobile, and as soon as she arrived she took the stand. She was returned to the sanitarium. SEAT SALE BREAKS ALL OPERA RECORDS George W. Simmons, chairman of the Ticket Allotment Committee for the coming grand opera season, announced Wednesday that the box office sale which opened at Bollman’s Monday has broken all opera records. All balcony seats left from the season sale were gone by 3 o’clock. The Committee is returning nearly 100 mail orders for balcony seats each day. There are a number of desirable main floor seats still to be had for each performance. The performance of “‘The Secret of Suzanne,” included with ‘Hansel and Gretel” in a double bill, will present to St. Louis an operatic novelty, first on the stage of the Metropolitan last March. The original Metropolitan cast —Carolina White, Sammarco and Daddi —will appear in St. Louis. $7000 FIRE LOSS AT SUBURBAN GARDEN Fire of undertermined origin caused $7000 damage to the concessions build- ing at Suburban Garden Tuesday night. Three engine companies responded «to a1 alprm turned im at 7:30 by a private watchman, but the firemen were handi- capped by the inaccessibility of fire plugs. About 1750 feet of hose had to to be laid to throw water on the blaze and only a favorable wind prevented greater loss. The building was of wood and burned orecely, although snow was piléd deep on the roof. The fire attracted a large crowd. Cars of the Kirk wood-Fergu- son and the Florissant lines were blocked an hour west of the garden, but a relief car was operated to and from the Wellston loop. covered by insurance.

The scene shifted Wednesday from Judge McElhinney’s court to Judge Wurdeman’s. The Judge granted five divorces in an hour, the first being on the applica- tion of Hulda Frankel, daughter ot Charles J. Henninger, editor of a St. Louls County newspaper, for a divorce from Edward Frankel. She testified that her husband was a professional gambler, and that he took the money she earned and lost it. He quit working, she testified, and then got into serious trouble, running away and never coming back. Frank Kratsky of 6460 Bartmer ave- nue got a divorce from Josephine Krat- sky upon his testimony that he sent her a railroad ticket to come to St. Louis from Newport, and that she wrote back saying she did not want to come to St. Louis, and that he could get another

woman and she would get another man. She said she felt and looked five years younger after he left, he testified. Jennie Low of Benton got a divorce from Aiexander Low on proof that he abused her. Effie Pienaar was di- vorced from Gideon Pienaar on @ charge of desertion.

Yoakum is the first high official of any railroad system to make an open and must be adjusted. The Rate Adjustment Committee of the Business Mén’s League is now work- ing with the railroads to devise a plan for the complete elimination or at least a reduction in the arbitrary. An early announcement of the success of the ne- gotiations is anticipated, particularly in view of statement of Yoakum. At the conclusion of his speech of the practicability of a barge line to revive river transportation, Yoakum said, at the banquet: “TI have talked with Mr. Winchell, and with other officials of the Frisco, and all have agreed that there should be a way found by which the differential in rates between St. Louis and East St. Louis should be reduced. “How this can best be arrived at with fairness to all is a question to be talked out by the interested parties. But all interests should be willing to give and take. It cannot be done without the change of some opinions and the shrink- age of some earnings. I believe the question can be thrashed out in a man- ner that will be satisfactory to all. That is the strength of an organization like the Business Men’s League, that it makes possible conferences of different interests and promotes a spirit of fair dealing and mutual concession.’’ » JOKES AND JESTS AT B. M. L. DINNER Kreismann Intimates That He Wishes Wells Had His Old Job Back. At the Business Men's League ban- quet at the Southern Hotel Tuesday night the principal discussion turned to the proposed barge line to be estab- lished by the league to operate between St. Louls and New Orleans. The de- tails of the project were discussed by Murray Carletdn, while Yoakum dis- cussed principally the practicability of Mississippi River transportation and its effect on freight rates. Murray Carleton, who introduced Yoa- kum, made a strong plea for the barge line, and said a soliciting committee would soon visit the members. Two lines ‘of business, he said, had sub- are sure of te ability and beauty if 1847 ROGERS BROS.

Coyle, traffic com- missioner of the league, spoke after Yoakum, and told of the need for water connection, not only with New Or- leans, but with gulf coast ports, espe- Clally Galveston. He told how New York, through its three water lines to Galveston, enjoyed a lower rate to a large part of Texas than St: Louis has. Before Yoakum got into action, Rolla Wells, former Mayor, made his address as president of the league. His first few words precipitated a ludicrous scene. “A year ago, he began, “you elected me Mayor’’—— He got no farther. A roar of laughter Started at the speakers’ table and spread through the big banquet hall. Turning ‘to Mayor Kreismann, who sat next him, Wells patted his head and fondled him as one might do with an offended infant. Kreismann claimed the floor, and said that “this happy little incident” gave him a chance to remark that the peo- ple would have made no mistake if they had elected Wells Mayor. ‘“‘And_ I,” added the Mayor-for-sure, “‘would be much happier.’’ Praises Saunders. Wells then amended by saying that it Was the presidency of the league to which he had been elected on a similar occasion a year before. He talked of the league’s work, praised Secretary Saunders’ work and that of the other Officials and committees, and then re- marked that one of the objects o. the league was to bring conventions to St. Louis. This caused a laugh. “A little arnty, with colors flying, marched quickly up the hill,” he de- Clared, ‘‘and then, witn crooping tcath- ers, marched slowly down again. We Were licked. But in all. the trade of war there is no feat nobler than a brave retreat.”’ Forrest Ferguson presented the Nomi- nating Committee’s report, recommend- ing Wells’ re-eiection as president and Elias Michael, Joseph R. Barroll, John E. Pilcher, Sam D. Capen and R. H. Stockton for vice-presidents. David R. Francis put the motion by which the choice was ratified. The league almost passed a resolution indorsing the work and aims of the National Citizen’s League for the Pro- motion of a Sound Banking System. George A. Roth read & long resolu- tion declaring that the plan favorea by the Naticnal Citizens’ League was necessary for the prevention of panics. President Wells called for a vote, and it seemed that the resolution would go through without dissent. Then, just before the expected chorus of ayes, Har- ry B. Hawes, in a distant corner of the room, got recognition. Hawes said the matter was one on which many members of the Business Men’s League were not well informed, and that further time was needed for enlightenment and consideration. He moved to substitute by referring the matter to the executive committee. No one offered to debate the matter, and amid a general laugh, Hawes’ motion prevailed. The custom of two or three vears past, of songs by the banqueters, wa, abandoned and about the only sing- ing that was done by the crowd was in the choruses Of songs by three so joists, Will Stanard, Steve Martin and Ww.

TALK LONG WITH COUNSEL Statement Is Made They Thought They Signed Only Admission of Intimacy. That the defense will attack the valid- ity of the murder confessions made at Hillsboro by Mrs. Annie Hunning and Joseph Seidel, her admirer, became ap- parent Wednesday from the attitude of their attorneys, R. A. Frazier and J. H. Reppy. These confessions, reduced to writing and signed by the pair, are to the fact that Seidel killed the wom- an’s husband upon her promise to marry him and give him $1150 and some mis- cellaneous personal property. Frazier spent Tuesday and Wednes. day morning at Hillsboro in conference with the _ pair. It was announced Wednesday that they would repudiates the statements, saying the two thought they were merely signing documents Which told of their undue intimacy be- fore the murder. From this it is believed that the de- fense will resist the efforts of Prose- cutor Miller to get the confessions be- fore the jury when the murder trial comes up, March 2. It will be urged that the prisoners had been worn to exhaustion by long and merciless ques- tioning until they did not realize what they wére doing; that they were willing to sign anything to end the ordeal. Frazier and Reppy are reluctant about discussing the case. They say they do not want to talk about it too much for publication, insisting that this would be equivalent to trying it in the news- papers. Prosecutor Thinks Statements Valid. Miller, on the other hand, is confi- dent that the statements will be admis- sible aS eVidence in the trial. He says the statements were obtained not -be- cause the man and woman were: @x- hausted, but because each believed the other had told everything and each wanted to save himself as much as pos- sible. He said that Seidel was perfectly cool and deliberate when he began his nar- rative. To substantiate this he points to a letter which he says was written by Seidel to Mrs. Hunning after the con- fessions. This letter was intercepted and is in Miller’s hands, the prosecu- tor avers. It says: “Say, I thought vou would not give me away. I found out last night you said I done it. You signed your name to it. So I had to tell the truth about it. So now we are up against it right. What made you show them notes I sent you? They showed them to me. It is no use to get mad about it now; the jig is up. They know it all that we done—that. ‘You know what you promised me and you can’t go back on me as long as I live. We would be all right if you would not give me away. I told you all the time you would give me away. You said you would not. All for this time, .annie. I don’t know if we,should stand trial or not. I don’t know. I wish our people would come here soon.

Fine for Croup Mothers Should Cut This Out and Never Be Unprepared. In any home where a child has a tendency to croup, a_ bottle of HYOMEI (pronounce ' High-o-me) should be kept constantly cn hand. A sudden attack of croup with dif- ficult breathing and extreme distress is apt to come on at any time. The course to be pursued is plain. Send for your doctor. at once, and in the meantime drop 30 drops of Hyomei into a bowl of boiling g& water, and hold the child’s head over it, cover with a towel or cloth, so that only the air filled with Hy- omei vapor is breathed. ‘his method of treatment has saved many a child’s life, and mothers of eroupy children should see to it that HYOMEI is always on hand. Full instructions for prompt relief of croup is in each package. A 50 eent bottle of HYOMET is all you need for croup. It is sold by druggists everywhere.

Cabanne, Milk- ~man, Glad to Get Away From the Quizzing. That They Received at End of Speeches. O, so fine, as ‘‘Our China Boy Report- er’’ would say, to make a speech before a women’s club and smilingly await for the applause when the speaking is done. But O so cruel when instead of ap- plauding the women ask a million ques- tions and you have to get red in the face and stammer and say, “Maybe you're right,’’ and look imploringly around for somebody to help you escape. Such was the experience of Albert P. Welle, manager of the Welle-Boettler Bakery Co., and J. Charless Cabanne, president of the St. Louis Dairy Co. Tuesday afternoon. Neither having beard of the man who carried coals to Newcastle, they attempted to talk about pure baker’s bread and pure milk to the members of the Women’s Pure Food Association at the St. Louis Medical Hall, 3525 Pine street. A Touching Speech, Welle made a neat speech with round- ed periods and graceful allusions. The 287 women listened quietly as he talked about baker’s bread so feelingly that he almost made one wonder if his precon- ceived theories about mother’s “salt risin’’’ bread and hot biscuits didn’t need revising. But the smile with which he finished went astray. From all over the hall women began hurling questions. First they hurled them singly, then by squads and finally by platoons. Here are some of the questions that came like dough- balls: “How are labels placed on bread? Are they licked?’’ “Why aren't wrappings put on the loaves?” “Why is not the weight of plainly stamped on it?’’ “What makes you think it’s as gooa as home baked bread?’’ ‘‘What chemicals. do bakers use?’ ‘“‘Do they put lard into their bread? *“You say 10-cent loaves are wrapped, why arent five-cent ones?’ He Is All at Sea, Welle tried to field them as rapidly as they came, but Ty Cobb himseh couldn’t have done it. His answers sounded something like this: The city ordinances fix the minimum wélght—yes, ma’am the labels are pu. on while the bread is hot and stick so— no, ma’am, no chemicals are used by good ba—how’s that? Why, I think i is as filling as home-made bread—wei maybe you’re right; I don’t know muct?, about home-made—the grocer will wrap it, it would be a large expense—”’ By this time he had lost all coum He looked around appealingly. Mrs. Charles A. Baker of Webster Park threw him a life-line. She arose te remark that Welle -had made a nice a loai ‘talk and that some bakers were doinx their best to make good bread and han- dle it carefully. The baker did ano, overlook the chance, but hurried into bis overcoat and said a hasty good-bye. He mopped his brow and whistled an audible “whew!” as he left the building. Same for Cabanne. What happened to Cabanne could al- most be retold by putting ditto marks under every word of what happened to Welle.. However he gave the signa: for the assault which followed the close of his address with the words “You are getting better milk now than you got 20 years ago when I entered the busi- ness and you get it at half price.’’ ‘How is it the percentage of mortal- ity in St. Louis is higher than in New York, Cleveland and many other large od cities?”” opened the bombardment. It was followed by this sort of grape and cannister fire: “Is all the milk inspected that is de- livered in St. Louis?” “Are all the dairy herds inspected for tuberculosis ?’’ “Are the inspection laws rigidly en- forced ?’’ “‘“How is the milk protected after it reaches the city and before it is deliv- ered?’”’ “How soon after milk arrives is it de- livered ?”’ “‘“How many St. Louis dairies do youl consider are clean?’’ Makes His Exit, Too. : Cabanne admitted there were some subjects he disliked to talk about an blamed city ordinances for the lax methods in handling milk. He sat down with a soft, debutante-like blush mant- ling each cheek and sought the earliest opportunity for a decorous exit from the hall. “Oh, dear!” one woman after he had gone. “I do wish those gentiemen had stayed a while longer. a-..re were just oodles of questions I wanted to ask!’’ Among the women who fired the vol- ieys of questions at Welle and Cabanne were Mrs. W. E. Fischel, president of the women’s organization, Mrs. Edmund Sears, wife of Principal Sears of Mary Institute, Mrs. Charlés Gildehaus, Mrs. Edward C. Rowse, Mrs. Charles Bake: and Dr. Lydia M.

Steck took the money Sept. 24, 1910, and the loss was concealed by the postoffice authorities until the Post- Dispatth published the facts one year later. This stimulated the search, which had been practically abandoned, and suspicion was directed to Steck. He confessed a few weeks ago, an, taking postoffice inspectors to the rear of his home at 4562 Newport avenue, ne took the remaining money, $23,562, from the rafters of his chicken house. Because of the confession and the restitution of most of the money, it was thought that District Attorney Houts would recommend a sentence of a year or two years. He made no such recom- mendation.

OUR WARNING TO CUBA. That the State Department should have deeme1 it mecessary to warn the Gomez administration that, unless it forthwith suppresses disturbances caused by the Cuban veterans, the United States would feel called upon to intervene, fore- ‘shadows the probability of action in that di- - rection. The possibilities are interesting. ‘We intervened in 1905 and Palma quit. Mr. Roosevelt sent William Howard Taft down there then. If Mr. Taft should reciprocate by sending the Colonel to Havana, what would happen? By this course he might get the Colonel out of the po- litical race with fine diplomacy. But Roosevelt in Cuba with a few battalions of American soldiers would be an unpleasant uncertainty for peace- loving Americans. a Le &. — Sa ’ The burning of the old Revere house in Boston must have caused about as great excitement as the famous ride of the gentleman after whom it was named. « OSS SE eee FROZEN FIREPLUGS. The loss caused by the burning of a building with costly contents was greatly increased be- cause all the fireplugs in the neighborhood were frozen. How many other fireplugs adjacent to vatuable property would be found in a similar ‘useless condition? Some of the precautions usu- ally taken in the fall against the freezing of hydrants are said to have been omitted this sea- son. ‘Little doubt exists as to the impression made ‘or the public by the firemen’s exasperating expe- rience, coming after municipal policy has been strikingly exemplified in the Havlin Theater, in the lack of provision for the city’s suffering indi- gent during severe weather, in the restricted water supply and threatened water famine, in other recent matters. Rapid extension is being made in the record that convicts the municipal administration of general shiftiessness. No other term seems to apply as well.

A young man named Siegel has solved the prob- lem of the day. He came to St. Louis, represent- ed himself as the son of a rich Western merchant and ordered big bills of goods from jobbing and wholesale houses. Forthwith the wheels of com- mérce seemed to turn only for Siegel, and they turned to the rhythmic click of the taximeter the clink of the tall, thin glass anu the slink cf the soft-shoe waiter with a scuttle of champagne

—— in one hand and a skillet of pate de foie gras in the Other. Entertainers for Washington avenue firms im- ' patiently waited in line to buy something for Siegel. It was soft for him until some bright young man who does most of his work and all of "his dining on a high stool conceived the brilliant ides that it might be well to look into Siegel’s cre- déntials. Then the Siegel bubble burst, just as a new cocktail was about to be named for him. “Maybe the only moral in this is that it would be well for wholesale merchants to inspect the credentials of customers before entertaining them. But to the ultimate consumer there seems to be a deeper moral. Would it noc be possible to sell goods on their merits, without handing out busi- ness bribes in the guise of entertainment? Where does the cost of this entertainment fall? If it is added to the wholesale price of the goods the re- tailer must get even by imereasing the retail price. How will the wholesalers make up for what they istakenly spent on Siegel? == ~~ = = Artist Knott's prophetic picture Tuesday showed the Terminal Association yielding to the “psychic ‘wave of remorse” and making con-

Roosevelt, Gary, Carnegie, Nagel, Hearst and other great statesmen are just at present shouting from the housetops that the day of com- petition is over, that the law of Supply and De- mand is dead, that the only way to protect con- sumers and producers is by government-controlled Combination. The Post-Dispatch would appreciate replies from the above statesmen to the following ques- tions: Why not wait until we know just what will be the effect of the dissolution of the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trusts? How can these wise gentlemen know today that one year from today we shall not all be burning better and cheaper oil and smoking better and cheaper cigars? Would the oil and tobacco and other great mo- nopolies ever have come into being had the peo- ple insisted on the enforcement of the anti-trust law forbidding such monopolies: Now that the people are insisting on the en- forcement of the law and that numerous estimable monopolists are in the shadow of the penitentiary walls, why not give Competition a chance and see if Business will again surrender to the tempta- tions of monopoly and the prospect of an indefi- nite stay in jail? Now that we are about to shatter our tariff walls and let our overgrown and overfed “infant industries” stand on their own feet and fight it out with the invading producers of Europe, why not wait a few years to see whether the reduction of the tariff won’t help? | If the day of competition is over, why go to the trouble of reducing the tariff? Why not sim- ply turn monopoly and the power to fix prices over to the government, take a nap and wake up to find that, instead of turning monopoly over to the Government, we have turned the Govern- ment over to monopoly? = = ae ae Too much hope should not be built on an ap- peal to the Interstate Commerce Commission against the threatened increase in telephone rates. These are matters in which local communities must work out their own salvation. — = — — a WRONGS AND REMEDIES. Complaint From Berlin Avenue. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In building the sewer on Berlin avenue from 5€00 west, the contractors left their excess dirt on the street after they finished the sewer, weight of which has caused the street to sink so that the water and gas pipes are being broken; the street is blocked so that residents are unable to get coal or other necessaries essential at this season of the year. Some of us will be compelled to vacate our homes to keep from freezing if relief is not Biven at once. In addition to this, the children’'in this district are compelled to take two cars to get to and from school, and the two schools that are being used are overcrowded. RESIDENT. (Organize a local committee and let them see Street Commissioner Travilla about the condition of the street; Capt. McCulloch about improvement of street car service, and the Board of Education about overcrowded schools.—Ed. Post-Dispatch.)

Gray Hair as a Handicap. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There seems to be a prejud'ce against gray hair in St. Louts, I have walked the streets in a search for work without avail. A good bookkeeper and rapid and accurate at figures, I know that I can make good, but the gray hair seems to be against me, even thougn I ask just a trial, I am but 44 vears old and have been gray since I was 20. Nobody seems to want that colored hair. Is there a “home” for those with the forbidden tint? Are those so afflicted to be relegated to the ash-heap? DISCOURAGED. (Don’t be discouraged. There are bookkeepers with snowy locks in St. Louis who are making gs00d and earning good wages. Make daily calls on the Free Employment Bureau, 104 N. Tenth st.) Team Owners Troubles. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, As one of the many owners of teams in §&t. Louis, whose living depends upon the number of loads we can make each day to the dumping Places provided by the Wiggins Ferry Co. (or Terminal Railroad Association). I venture to call your attention to the loss of time and money which we team owners suffer by reason of the delays we encounter at the various dumping places of the Wiggins Ferry Co. , I have been delayed as long as half a day waiting for an opportunity to pay the Wiggins Ferry Co. 25 cents a load for the privilege of dumping about a cubic yard of dirt into its cars. The Wiggins Ferry Co. people seem absolutely in- different as to whether cars are promptly pro- vided for this dirt. Before the Terminal Railroad Association bought up the Wiggins Ferry Co. and other competitors, we paid 10 cents a load and suffered no delay for cars. Since that combine was consummated we are made to pay two and one-half times as much as before and, far more serious, are forced to wait the pleasure of the combine before we can empty our wagons., F, STINECK, (See Mr. W. S. McChesney Jr., president and general manager of Terminal Association, room 107 Union Station, and urge your complaint. Per- sonal interviews are more likely to succeed than letters to newspapers.—Ed. Post-Dispatch.) Cruelty to Horses. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to call the attention of the Humane Society to the brutal treatment the horses of a large ice and coal company are subject to every day of this rough weather, They are loaded too heavily and then the drivers beat them unmerci- fully. You can witness this every evening about 6 or 6:30 every day in the week in this weather at the south approach of the Twelfth street bridge, and I invite anyone to go ard see for themselves, and see if they can’t stop it. ANONYMOUS, (When you see a horse brutally treated, call up the Humane Society, Bell, Main 164, or Kinloch, Central 2345, and give the name of the company owning the team, description of team and wagon, location and all particulars. Also your name and address, if you are willing to serve as a witness, Ed. Post-Dispatch.) Law on Street Car Heating. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Section 1864 of the Revised Code of Genera] Ordinances of St. Louis provides in part as fo)- lows: “Tenth—All cars shall be comfortably heated when the temperature without is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.” Section 1868 provides in substance as follows: “Every corporation or person which may do any act in violation of any of the provisions of Sec- tion 1864, etc., and every president, superinten- dent, manager and other officer of a corporation or association who shall do any act in violation of said section shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than $5 nor more than $500 for each offense, and each day on which a violation may be per- mitted to exist shall constitute a separate of- fense.” The above is in answer to a recent inquiry from a subscriber as to the law governing the heating of street cars. It is likely that this sub- ject will be a live topic for some time to come, hence the information. WARREN McGINNIS. (Passengers who find that cars have been sent out with cold stoves, or that fires in stoves are neglected, should take number of car and make complaint direct to Capt. Robert McCulloch, gen- eral manager, giving full particulars and stating the time when the neglect was noticed.—Ed. Post-

NEITHER CLARK NOR FOLK. From the New York World. The Democrats cannot afford to throw away Missouri in their calculations for the presidential battle. But they will be throwing it away, as the St. Louis Post- Dispatch says, if the State convention to meet on Feb. 20 uses a majority either for ex-Gov. Folk or Speaker Clark, to bind the delegation to tne na- tional convention into an unwilling and unrepresentative unit. Missouri is now debateable ground. Its sure Democracy in presidential elec- tions disappeared in¢é1904 with a Repub- lican plurality of 25,000, and in 1908 with a Republican plurality of 1026. It is on the way back, but it will not get back on a party division within the State. The folly of the unit rule from a party standpoint: here. shines equally with its undemocratic character. Where the state is closely divided by two political can- -\didates, the unit rule requires a large disfranchisement of party strength in the national convention. Mr. Clark and that convention from Missouri each with the number of delegates properly be- longing to him. Any other course will endanger the State and 18 electoral votes which the party cannot afford to lose.

FOLK-CLARK-WILSON, From the Monroe County Appeal. Joe Folk is entitled to the Missouri delegation and seems sure to get it. The Appeal, however, believes the delegation should be instructed for second and third choice. Let Clark have the votes if it becomes apparent that Folk has no show, then let Wilson have them if neither gentleman gets into the real running. If a primary should be held let the people vote on first, second and third choice. If a convention does the selecting let the same plan be followed, to the end that the delegation vote the sentiments of the body which sclects it mstead of becoming the personal prop- erty of a single man.

STUNNED. From the New York World. We cannot decide which commands the greater share of our admiration, the courage of Woodrow Wilson in ask- ing Harper’s Weekly to stop support. ing him for President or the courage of Harper's Weekly in frankly making public Gov. Wilson’s request. The affair is without precedent in American politics or American journal- ism. Further than this we are unable to carry the discussion.. We don’t know what to say. Looking Ahead, From the Louisville Courier-Journal. “] wish we could pierce the veil of the future.” “Well, we can, in a way. The Janu- ary newspapers are now copying things out of the May magazines."’

Philanthropy. From the Washington Star. Sometimes a philanthropist looks a little like a man who ts superintending the disbursements of a@ personally con- ducted conscience fund.

THE RENUNCIAT. CANTO I. I am not for you, Theodore— It’s not a great indictment, But much I fear another year My heart would scarcely persevere Through all of the excitement. SNOW. Snow is a white, flaky substance de- signed for the purpose of protecting vegetation while the elements are man- ufacturing ice. It is no longer neces- sary, inasmuch as natural ice is not sold any more. It melts too slowly. The ice companies find that a very light artificial ice made at a high tempera- ture will sell for the same money and melt qabout twice as fast. However, Nature has been at this thing a loug time, and she is not to be swerved from an old course by new conditions. If a general overhauling of business morals still finds it necessary, she will man- ufacture a light natural ice that will melt in a jiffy. Snow falls wherever the temperature does, and is extensive- ly used for winter sports and the dec- oration of mountain tops. tenth the density of water, makes ex- cellent rabbit burrows, is very useful as a container for tracks, and is cold and tasteless like a caterer’s ice. It ig usually a rhyme, makes a nice worth- less painting, and when worked up with an equal part of city soot, turns out a fine snow man resembling Jack John- son. “Madam, if you will give me my breakfast, I will sweep the snow off your walks.”’ “No thanks.”’ “I beg your pardon, Madam. I will sweep the snow off your walks, if you will give me my breakfast.” “That's better. Here is the broom.”’ Gold nuggets have been found in the cruws of several chickens on the Elliott farm, four miles from Manitonas, Man- itoba. All the remaining chickens have been staked out. “He said you were out of soap?" “To “TI don’t see how that could have dam. aged you.”’ “It wouldn't have done so but for the peculiar nature of my business."’ ‘‘What is your business?"’ “I’m running a laundry.” Passenger in a street car (appealing to the conductor): Won't you please make that big man get away from the stove? Conductor: Passenger: woolly overcoats which absorb all heat. What harm iIs he doing? He has on oné of those the “What were you fighting about?’ ‘We were trying to determine which of us had burned the most coal this winter, your Honor.” It has one-:

MAKING A POEM OF IT. Apple green west and an orange bar, And the crystal eye of a lone, one star, And “Child take the shears and cut what you will, Frost tonight—so clear and dead still.” —Edith M. Thomas in Harper’s. Pea green piffle and orange bunk, And the ragged rhyme of one mad or drunk. You must confess this approaches Miss Edith’s verse—but We can’t sell this. —Buffalo News. Crushed pumpkin dawn and a lemon squeeze— Child, lead your mother outdoors to freeze. At stuff like this we could never fail, But we'd never dare offer this stuff for sale. —Houston Post. Alice-blue cheese and a plate of tripe, And fourteen Chinamen hitting the pipe. Verses like this makes a bosom throb— I hope it won’t cause me to lose my job, —Milwaukee Sentinel. Pale glummed eve whangs, And the erris glob of the knawsome fangs, Woof warped gnage and a blotch of 00ze— Bartender, what did you put in the booze? —Cincinnati Enquirer. and a herd of Prune black night and a whisky sour, And a scream at midnight in the tower. We don’t do this for every rhyme, But we'll help out Edith any time. Explanation. A Callaway County preacher sold a farm for $11,000 the other day. Nothing special! about this item except it will cause many persons to wonder how a preacher ‘‘accumu- lated’’ a farm of that value.—Monroe County (Mo.) Appeal. Martin Luther had just emerged from his historic run-in with the Diet of Worms. _ “T'll survive it,’ will be the death punsters.”’ he mused, “but it of a whole lot of Insufferabie Inference, The Linn Creek RHeville is in favor of war between Missouri and Arkansas.

Her strength seeped from her so she could not turn the knob and she waited, for a moment, by the wall. Outside, the wind squeaked a twig against the window pane, Once, she was sure she heard a sound in the adjoining room. Her heart lost a beat, then pounded. She edged to the door.

With the day ing practically began. An elde ferry office of Samuel, Wiggins missed for noon. E prospered until the cholera ept- aa demic of 1849. Even under dis- couraging conditions the route gold for $15 in cash and a silver watch. The purchasers were William Hyde, who afterward became editor of the Republican, and his brother. Selling newspapers prompted interest in the reading and making of them. The boy learned to set type, to ink rollers, to take proofs. He had an associate of about his age in the person of Wesley Merritt, who became @ famous general in the army. The boys, just verging on their teens, started a little newspaper of their own. They called it the Scru- tinizer. About the fourth issue of the Scrutinizer the young publishers strolled around the public square to en- joy fame. They met a man who had been the subject of attention in the lat- est issue. Merritt was walking a few steps in advance. “Hal” said the man, “you are the fel- low that wrote that thing about me. Merritt took the thrashing. The Scru- tininer suspended. German __—irevolutionists coming _ to Belleville wanted their children to learn the language of the new country. They formed a little class at the Lutheran Church. Charles P. Johnson taught it at $10 a month. In 1852 there was an exciting contest for Congress in the Belleville district. Philip B. Fouke, an uncle of Charles P. Johnson, and Wil- liam H. Bissell, the Mexican War hero, were the candidates. At Sparta, in the district, was a small newspaper plant owned by John R. Shannon. Young Johnson was sent down to Sparta to get out the paper. Shannon did the editorial work, but was ready to stop when the campaign closed. Johnson obtained the use of the plant and at 17 was pub- lishing the Independent Spartan with this inspiring declaration of policy: ‘Justice to All—the Motto of an Inde- pendent.” One of the chief contribu- tors wrote “Scribulations From a District School Teacher,’’ and signed them Bill Bark, which wasn't a bad pen name for William Hyde. Years after- ward when the Missouri Republican, under Hyde’s editorial management, made caustic reference to Charles P. Johnson's Free Soll principles, a warn: ing was sent that the file of the Inde- pendent Spartan was in existence and that some of the Bill Bark poetry might find its way into the St. Louis papers. It was effective. HE Spartan lasted a year. In the summer of 1855 the late Judge William C. Jones of the firm of Sioss & Jones in St. Louis, told Charles P. Johnson he might come over to the city, read law and sleep in the office, as he was doing; and Johnson, now 18, with a doar or two in his pocket, began the study of law. A

There was a bond of interest between them created by an old colored wom- an who wore a turban and did the janitor work; her husband drove a dray. This old woman was motherly to the young men whose rooms she cleaned. She sewed on buttgns and mended clothes for them, If the weather was cold she would bustle in and say: “Chile, come and get a cup of coffee before you go out.” Just 10 years later Charles P. John- who had achieved fame in the practice of his profession and was looked upon as one of the rising po- litical leaders in the West, went on to Washington to see the grand re- view after Appomattox. He called at the War Department to pay his re- spects to his Lieutenant-General. The two looked at each other curiously. = —_= son,

WALTER.B. STEVENS. One said: “I’ve seen you before.” The other asked, ‘“Aren’t you the man who was in the real estate business on Pine street?’ Grant led the way to seats and the first question he asked was about the qld colored woman who took care of the offices. made the coffee and mothered her young men. Type setting led to newspaper writing. A notary’s commission was obtainea fro . Gov. Sterling Price. In various ways the living money was earned, even after 1857, when a license authoriz- ed Charles P. Johnson to practice law. In 1858 a number of young men organ- ized a political club for Free Demo- cracy. He made speeches and they took s0 wel] that in the spring of 1859 Charles P, Johnson was elected eity attorney, a position which car- ried no salary, but which paid one dollar on each conviction secured. This was his real start on a profes- sional career. Two years later a politi- cal combination forced temporary politi- cal retirement. The young lawyer voiced his disgust to Frank P. Blair. ‘Charley, don’t waste any time in pay- ing debts of ingratitude. If you do you won’t accomplish anything else.’’ “There was wisdom in it,’’ said Gov. Johnson, “After that I never did waste time in trying to revenge my- self upon any man who did me harm. I went on the theory that time would make things even. From my experi- ence I can recommend to all young men that advice of Frank Blair.’ OLITICAL honors came later to Gov. Johnson, but looking back upon them, he said: “A lawyer should never be a candidate for an office or accept an of- fice, unless it is in the line of his pro- fession. That is the only excuse for a lawyer going into politics. And if he has got a good practice, or is a successful advocate, he is foolish to go on the bench. A man must be a lawyer and nothing else, if he hopes for that de- sree of success, which it is reasonable to presume constitutes the ambition of every one who enters the practice. Ot! will not mix with water, nor does the law mix with business. Countless wrecks strew the way toward success in the legal world that have been caused by this mistake in trying to be an attor- ney and something else at the same time.’’ “To be a good lawyer is a higher hon- or than to occupy any public office,” he continued; ‘‘but it is right to take an interest in public affairs.”’ Gov. Johnson has no regret for the time he took from the practice of his profession to go to the Legislature and Craft the laws which killed the Missouri State Lottery and made gambling a fel- ony. The months he devoted to the en- forcement of these statutes ‘‘to break up a ring that had possession of the city,” were not lost, as he estimates the obll- gations of his profession. “The first great essential to suc- cess is study, and persevering study,’’ Gov. Johnson concluded; ‘not hurried industry, but perstst- ent rational industry, such as pur- sues the lines of investigation in a manner to fully absorb and assim- ilate the knowledge sought and give it permanent lodgement. When I say success as a lawyer, I do not mean success in the accumulation of a competence, or even more financially, but in the reaching of that association with a practice of the law when one realizes in full the sacred responsibilities thereof, and the possibility of the accom- plishment of great good in serving justice to all men when the oppor- tunity is offered.”’ Not on Free List. NEW YORK girl visiting recently in Philadelphia was taken to the opera by a young man, and at the close of the performance was asked to par- take of some slight refreshment. At the conclusion of the repast she was some- what astonished to see her escort reach for her pocketbook, which lay on the table at her side, and coolly pay the bil] out of her money. This, it seems, is customary in Philadelphia when a young gentleman's means are somewhat limited. It relieves his lady friends of the embarrassment they might other- wise feel on partaking of any enter- tainment at his cost. It struck the New York girl, however, as being very ri- diculous, and she began to laugh. “‘T fear you are laughing at my expense,” said the young man; “let me explain.”

OM YOUR SYOTEM There is not one grain of quinine in Pape’s Cold Compound, which, when taken every two hours, until three consecutive doses are taken, will surely end the grippe and break up the most severe coid, either in the head, chest, back, stomach or limbs. 7 - It promptly relieves the most mis- erable headache. dullness, head and nose stuffed ‘up, feverishness, sneez- jng. sore throat, running of the nese, catarrhal affections, soreness, “*iffness and rheumatic twinges.

Pape’s Cold Compound is the re- SEVERAL HOURS sult of three years’ resear cost of more than fifty thousand dollars, and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demon- strated is not effective in the treat- ment of colds or grippe. Take this harmless Compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine made anywhere else in the world which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without any other assistance or bad after-effects as a 25-cent package of Pape’s Cold Compound, which any druggist in the world can supply.—ADV. a —

— cae HAVLIN’S FRAY BROADENS

Anti-Administration Forces Win Their Point in Vote in Council.

Charges made by the Carpenters’ Union against James N. McKelvey, Building Commissioner, involving the al- leged unsafety of Havlin’s Theater, will lead to a Council investigation of all of the St. Louis theaters, as well as of Havlin’s, and of McKelvey’s office. Councilmen Protzmann, Davis and Haller, at Tuesday’s meeting of the City Council, were appointed a special com- mittee with full power to investigate the safety of every theater in the city and the conduct of McKelvey’s office. This action is the outgrowth of carpenters’ charges, laid before Mayor Kreismann several weeks ago, that Havlin’s Thea- ter, following its reconstruction under McKelvey’s supervision, is unsafe. The theater has been closed for additional repairs. Councilman Lehmberg championed Mc- Kelvey and declared the theater incident had been sufficiently aired by the re- ports of the architects appointed by the Mayor. Anti-administration members fa- vored an open trial of McKelvey by the Council. Protzmann. offered a reso- lution providing for an investigation by a special committee, which carried, by the following vote: For investigation—Caulfield, Fletcher, Haller, Protzmann, and Gundlach. Against investigation — Espenschied, Evers, Lehmberg and Rower. RALPH PULITZER IS MADE LIFE EXECUTOR Eldest Son of Joseph Pulitzer Takes Place as Trustee of Estate and Newspapers. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—By the action of Surrogate Fowler in granting to him letters testamentary yesterday Ralph Pulitzer, eldest son of the late Joseph Pulitzer, becomes an executor for life of the estate left by his father. Also he takes his place as a trustee of the Pulitzer newspaper properties, which in- clude the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In addition to this one the will created several other trusts of which Ralph Pulitzer now qual- ifies as trustee. This step ends the confusion that fol- lcwed the publication of the will because of the omission of Ralph Pulitzer’s name as an executor. This omission was explained at that time by William B. Hornblower, personal counsel for Joseph Pulitzer, and the lawyer who drew the instrument, as due to the oversight of one of his clerical force. The retirement of Justice Putnam as executor and trustee opened the way to the election of Ralph Pulitzer to these positions, in accordance with the desire of his father as expressed to Hornblower. In addition to the posi- tions he fills under the will, Mr. Pul- itzer is president of the Press Publish- ing Co., which publishes the World. Besides Ralph Pulitzer the executors ef the estate are George L. Rives, who also has a life term; Frederick N, Jud- son of St. Louis, to serve until the thirtieth birthday of Joseph Pulitzer Jr., who is now 2%, and J. Angus Shaw, to serve until the majority of Herbert Pulitzer, now 15, Ralph Pulitzer having been named by his father as one of the guardians of Herbert. The Union Trust Co. of New York is an executor also. The executors, with the exception of the last named form the board of trustees of the news- papers. EX-CONVICT WILL SPEAK Davis, Randall
