Is DARROW SMILES; GETS BAIL eS Had Expected Grand Jury’s Ac- tion and Had $20,000 Bond Ready.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOS ANGELES, Cal,’ Jan. cording to general report here, the two indictments returned yesterday Clarence -S. 30, —Ac- “gainst Darrow were based on in- formation given in a confession of Bert H. Franklin, who is also under Indict- ment charging bribery of McNamara jurors. Whether the indictment was based upon a confession to the grand jury by Franklin, probably will not be defi- nitely known until the case comes to trial. Soon after the indictménts against Darrow for alleged corruption of jurors in the McNamara case were returned yesterday rumors became prevalent that Franklin had told all he knew of the alleged jury bribing to the grand jury. Neither the assistant district attorneys Who have had charge of the investiga- tion before the grand jury or Franklin himself would make any statement in denial]. The prosecutors declared that the public would be compelled to await the trial before learning what evidence is in possession of the State. Franklin, when asked if he had made any confession to the grand jury, said tnat he would not issue any denial, nor would he confirm the rumor. A special dispatch sent to the San Francisco Call from here says that ‘from an authentic source’ its corre- spondent is able to state that the in- dictment of Darrow was based upon information given in Franklin’s confes- sion. “The evidence against Darrow was ob- tained through statements made by tranklin to the District Attorney re- gvarding the sources from which got nis money,’ according to the Call dis- patch, and it adds, ‘‘The two indictments against Darrow charge thar he fur- rished the funds which the State charges franklin used.’’ The indictment ended two months of uncertainty and suspense for. Darrow, 10ted as a union labor attorney. There are four counts in the two bills. Two of the counts cnarge Darrow with the bribery and attempted corruption of Robert Bain, the first juror sworn to trv James B. McNamara, the confessed dynamiter and murderer, now serving a life term in San Quentin Prison. The remaining counts allege the bribery and corruption of George N. Lockwood, a venireman summoned in the McNamara case. Franklin Gave the Bribe. Bert Franklin, the detective, is alleged actually to have passed the bribe money to Bain and Lockwood. His trial has been set for Feb. The maximum penalty that could be imposed upon Darrow for conviction on all counts is 30 years’ imprisonment and fnes aggregating $10,000. He is under $20,000 bail. “One guiltless of crime could hardly expect anything else than acquittal,” he said, smiling. Darrow had_ several the impending accusations and on Saturday he retained Earl Rogers, an attorney who directed the first work of unearthing the evidence against. the Times Building dynamiters and who later, as a special prosecutor, had charge of the grand jury investigation which resulted in the filing of the first indictment against Bryce (James B. MeNamara), Schmidt and Caplan early last year. Had Provided Ball. Judge C. F. McNutt, formerly of the Irdiana superior bench, and associate counsel in the McNamara defense, also was retained by Darrow. An intimation of the district attorney's office reached Darrow that the charges against him would be reported today and he at once about arranging fcr bail. Mrs. Le- Davis, wife of one of Darrow’s in the McNamara case. and Col. Charles S. Young, a friend of the iceused lawyer, supplied the bai! fixed by Judge N. P. Conroy, who sat for presiding Judge George H. Hutton. “T was expecting to be indicted,” said Darrow, ‘“‘and I was prepared for it.’ —--~® MORRISON AND BANKER CALLED he wl. days notice of dynamite set compte associates

A decree granting Mrs. Mae C. Luyties a divorce from Herman C. G. Luyties, president of the Sanitol Chemical Co., was handed down by Judge Allen Tues- day, after the attorneys for both had agreed that their alimony Settlement should be included in the decree. The alimony agreed on comprised per- sonal property valued at $25,000, includ- ing the furnishings of the Luyties home, 36 Portland place; a paid-up $50,000 in- surance policy on Luyties’ life and an- nual payments of $5000 to Mrs. Luyties for herself and $300 for clothing for her son, Herman Jr., whose custody she will have. Luyties declared he had also pro- vided a paid-up $25,000 policy on his life in favor of his son, and that he would provide for the boy’s education. Luytes told a Post-Dispatch reporter ne objected to paying the $5000 asked by Morton Jourdan, Mrs. Luyties’ counsel, as his fee. He said he would be willing to pay Jourdan not more than _ $1000, Jourdan and Albert Arnstein, Luyties’ lawyer, conferred with Judge Allen over ihis matter while the decree was being drawn up at the Court’s order. Jour- dan, it Was understood, said that the | services rendered were of .an unusual character, as he had to get proof of. Luyties’ financial resources and other i information which obviated the possi- | bility of a successful contest on the | husband’s part. Not as Black as Painted. ““Aside prone the matter of Mr. Jour- dan’s fee,’’ said Luyties, ‘‘I-do not ob- ject to the settlement, although I am not so black as I have been painted.” All the testimony in the case, which was on the default docket, was heard after 5 p. m. Monday. The trial of the case did not consume more than ten minutes. Mrs. Luyties, who Was modestly attired in a_ blue tailor-made suit and wearing a blue hat with plumes, testified she had trie@ to be affectionate with her husband, but that he had not shown her proper con- sideration. He discharged servants that she liked and re-employed servants she had discharged because they had been disrespectful to her, testified. In other ways also, she said, he interfered With her management of the home. Attorney Jourdan asked Mrs. Luyties about newspaper accounts of a trip made by her husband with another woman to the Southwest in 1907. The witness an- swered she had read the account*s and that when her husband returned he promised to have no further association With the woman. “But he did not keep nis word and:she kept calling him up on the telephone,’’ said Mrs. Luyties The woman referred to in tis news- paper accounts was Mrs. Josaph F.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, is expected to draw further fire to il- luminate the Wilson-Harvey-Ryan- Wat- terson feud. Col. Watterson announces it is his last appearance in connection with the case, and he departs for Florida With his faith in his judgment of men shattered. His leave-taking prayer was that God would protect Democracy from such a leader as Woodrow Wilson. _ Text of Watterson Statement. Col. Wcetterson’s statement, addressed to tne “‘Democrats of the Un'‘ted States,’’ follows: “The time limit set upon my stay in the national capital being about to ex- pire, and Gov. Wilson having refused my offer as to the issue of veracity he has raised between us to submit proof of the truth of my averment to party associates competent to judge both of its character and the expediency of its pub- lication, I shall bring this most distaste- ful episode to a close as far as I am concerned. “The clnim that I must rush into print with this proof emanates either from the perverse or the malignant. I have it already under proper supervision to pro- duce, and can be asked in reason to do no more. If 1 should publish it the very men who are demanding that I shall would ve the first to accuse me of reck- less disregard of what they would call party prudence and rights. The sole issue is whether I have lied, as Gov. Wilson says I have, or he has lied, which I have engaged conclusively te show. He dare not face the facts. “With rs brief a review as may be of the circumstances to which I owe the misfortune of having made Gov. Wilson’s acquaintance, not to mention nmry indorse- mnt of his plausible but specious tensions, I shall cease to trouble the p’:blic with a controversy nowise of my seeking. His Meeting With Wilson. “During the early summer of 1910 I Was passing a week end with Col. George Harvey, an old friend, at Deal Beach, his home in New Jersey. There arrived for dinner Dr. Wogdrow Wilson, then president of Princeton, and tion. James Sinith Jr., late a Senator in Congress. Dr. Wilson. I had never met before. “The talk at the table was mainly about the prospective nomination of a Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey. Drawn into the conversa- tion, I ventured the opinion that if noth- ing moré than a governorship was in sight it would be sacrifice for Dr. Wilson to quit his exalted station at tne head of a great university and get down into the bull ring of politics to struggle for preferment so ephemeral and uncertain. “That was probably what Col. Harvey, who seemed under some spell wrought by Dr. Wilson, had planned. Mr. Smith declared that he wanted nothing for Limself; only to see the State redeemed; that no one but Dr. Wilson could redeem it and the like. “In due season Dr. Wilson was nomi- nated and elected. Not long after I was called to New York. The situation in New Jersey was explained to me. I wag told that Mr. Smith wished to return to the Senate, despite hia declaration that he wanted nething for himself; that there had been a primary election, which had gone by default, in which a person of the name of Martine, represented as wholly unfit, had obtained a rather mea- ger vote; that Gov. Wilson held Senator Smith to his bond and stood by the party pledge touching primary elections. In this he was clearly right. Says He Was Dragooned. “The presidential campaign to which the gubernatorial election has served as a prelude began. In a manner I had been dragooned, I will not say decoyed, Me o

into the service of Gov. Wilson and Col. Harvey. The succesfing 10 months brought me into confidential relations with Gov. Wilson. Letters passed be- tween ‘us. Upon his invitation and on his business I visited his home in Princeton. He was good enough last winter to come to the steamer to see me off to Europe. We were caught by the inevitable kodak tiend and pictorialized in the ribald press side by side, making quite a touching group. “IT found him a man of polished man- ners, scholarly attainments and undeni- able talents. On my return from abroad the Governor met me in New York. Again in November and December we foregathered there. In short, nothing was wanting to the most cordial and un- restrained inttmacy. “I make this detailed statement be- cause the public might well fancy from the Governor’s present attitude and tone that I had in some way thrust myself upon him, and that my friendship and support had not been desired by him. “The fortnight immediately preceding the interview at the Manhattan Club, of which I have been at pains to say as litthe as was needful to justice between man and man, and men and men, I had dane what I could in the interest of his campaign. I was met on my arrival in New York by a most urgent appeal for money from a gentleman of distinction closely associated -with, if not actually directing, the Wilson organization, and in answer to this I was able at once to secure a considerable amount of money. The meeting at the Manhattan Club was designed still further to push forward and perfect the work of organization. Else why, and for what was the Gov- ernor there? Policy of Silence or Sneers. “To confuse and mislead the public he has latterly adopted a policy of alter- nate silence and sneering. Giving the lit; dtrect to my statement that I was asketl to help inthe financtal end of his campaign and declining my offer to submit the proof of its truth to a body of gentlemen and Democrats equally concerned with ourselves for the well- being ofthe party, he thinks to cloud the issue and escape its menace by turning upon ‘me the irresponsible chatter of a literary bureau which claims to live off the immaculate contributions of sub- scribers ‘having wings, harps and halos, and which has been for weeks flooding the country with every manner of falsi- fication. The very existence of this, to say nothing of the sources of its being, should set honest people to thinking. “The Ryan story which has made such an impression upon the unknowing and unreflecting, was, as far as it related to Col. Harvey, a lie out of whole cloth Although Gov. Wilson knows this he has allowed it to circulate without a word of contradiction. The attempt which fol- lowed ‘its exposure by me to make itt ap- pear that I hive intimated that applica- tion was made to Mr. Ryan, is cut off the same cloth, and is characteristic of the duplicity which attaches itself to and his publicity agents. “The suggestion is that Mr. Ryan was engerly caught up by those agents Fancy a political promoter refusing money from anywhere or any- body! But when I spoke to Gov. Wilson about it he said some uncivil things of Mr. Ryan, expressing a fear that if the knowledge of such a contribution got abroad, it might do more harm than promptly concurred and the matter went no further. I might have asked Gov. Wilson how he could reconcile his Ob- jection to Ryan money, which had not yet been offered him, with his demand for Carnegie pension money, which had been denied him. But, although growing a Itttle impatient under his sudden change of demeanor I did not wish to be disagreeable. Certain it is that Mr. Ryan never heard of the matter. Neither I nor anyone else spoke to him on the subject. Rattling Around as a Hero. “The effort of the Wilson promoters to revive it and bring it to the front is simply an unprincipled attempt to divert the public attention from the fact that Gov. Wilson has been rattling around as a hero because of his indignant rejec- tion of Ryan, the truth being that Ryan was néver pressed upon him at all. “His outrageous repu@lation of Har- vey, which has put such a feather in his cap, was a piece with this. Whilst Gov. Wilson was receiving popular applause because of the sacrifice of private friend- ship to public duty he was groveling at Harvey's feet after pardon for the hameless and heartless treatment he‘ad- mitted having bestowed upon Harvey at the Manhattan Club. . “If he possesses a spark of honorabie sensibility he will at once demand and require the publication of the abject tet- ters he w-ote to Harvey when he was

some and apologies to others who have been exactly concurrent with his selfish aims. There seems no abasement into which he is unable to descend with equal facility and grace. May God pro- tect Democracy from such a leader and such leadership! “T submit to the Democrats of the United States that I am not on trial. I am a candidate for nothing. There is no office within the gift of the government or of the people, the acceptance of which I would so much as consider. My career is behind me. I have pur- sued it in the light of the day. If it does not plead my cause I cannot plead for myself. Backs No Other Aspirant. “In the support I gave the candidacy of Gov. Wilson, as herein related, I acted for the best, according to the lights about me. In withdrawing. that support I must render some sufficient reason to my party associates. That is their right and it is my right. Why. at my time of life, should I seek to do injustice to any man or in any wise to mislead the party which during 40 years of storm and stress I have striv- en so faithfully to serve? “The niche vacated by Gov. Wilson I shall not undertake to fill. I hold noth- ing in reserve, am backing no other aspirant, advancing no other interest. I shall go to my winter home in Flor- ida, beyond the reach even of the tele- graph, sure that in this matter I have done my duty alike to public obliga- tions and private friendship, and hav- ing not a care beside.’’ ——_—-~@-— --~ “NOT CONTROVERSY, JUST DISCUSSION”

Wilson Manager M’Combs Says Col. Watterson Has Fine Vocabulary.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—William F. McCombs, who declares he is Gov. Wil- son's one and only political manager, read Col. Watterson’s statement with great interest. ‘Why, this is an editorial,”” McCombs said. ‘“Co). Watterson has a splendid vocabulary. It would hardly become me to comment on so interesting a piece for the papers. “But,” and McCombs grew serious, “an analysis of Co]. Watterson’s state- ment shows that he himself refutes ev- ery charge he has made in this—no, not controversy, for it isn’t that—in this discussion. “He says that a ‘literary bureau’ is busily engaged in circulating some story and that neither Gov. Wilson nor his managers are doing anything to stop it. Now, every statement I have made—and there have been but two—has been made formally and in public. There has been nothing surreptitidus about it. In my last statement I referred to the charge that Mr. Ry&n and his money had to do with the ‘break’ between Gov. Wilson and Col. Harvey. “Col. Watterson now says that Mr. Ryan never knew anything about this matter. That confirms absolutely what I said: That if we Wilson managers had been so eager for Mr. Ryan’s money, why didn’t Col. Watterson take the mat- ter up with Mr. Ryan and get some of it for us? He says tanat Gov. Wilson ob- jected to it, which does away with the charge that the managers were eager for

Watterson admits of no comment from me,” said Gov. Wood- row Wilson today when newspaper men asked him if he had any reply to make to the Kentucky editor’s statement is- sued last night. When asked for his reason for making no comment. the Governor said: “I had hoped that they were self-evident.” The Governor then added: “I am only sorry to have to regret the friendship, which, while it lasted, I found interest- ing and enjoyable.” Asked if he did not mean to say “‘loss of friendship,” the Governor replied that he preferred to have the statement as he had dictated it. ~~.

HEAVY COLD FAILS: TO PREVENT TAFT. MAKING SPEECHES President Scheduled to Deliver Four Addresses in Co- lumbus. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 27.—President Taft arrived in Columbus from Cleve- land at 7:14 this morning. The President will remain here until tomorrow afternoon, make four speeches and attend the dedication of the new postoffice. The President is still bothered with a cold, but it is not believed it will in any way interefere with the program here or at AKron tomorrow night. Dr. Thomas L. Rhoades, who accom- panies the President, sprayed his throat last night and again this morning.

There is no doubt he will be able to complete his present trip without the slightest inconvenience.” Officials accompanying the President on his tour were much surprised to hear the report had been circulated that Taft was suffering with pneumonia. His condition, they said, was the same at present as when he had left Washing- ton, and excited no anxiety. The Presi- @ent’s hoarseness was accentuated last evening by his speaking for several hours in a hall filled with tobacco smoke. The President remained on his pri- vate car for breakfast and later was escorted to his hotel by State and city officials, troops from the Columbus bar- racks, a body of the National Guard and other organizations. hace e a terns, In Connection with James M¢ Creery & Co..

9 Bilis WICH CAN KEEP FASTORES SOUGHT Civic Bodies Plan to Get Smoke Ordinance Not Too Drastic. —— AID MOVEMENT ——o |

WOMEN

Small Manufacturer’s Necessities Demand Consideration, It Is Urged. — |

An ordinance which will abate smoke without oppressing the small manufac- turer is being advocated hy the Wom- en’s Organization for Smoke Abatement and the Business Men’s League’s Com- mittee on Manufactures. At a conference participated in Mon- day afternoon by these two bodies and representatives of the Civic League, it was pointed out that extremely radical measures might drive small manufac- turers out of town, whereas the smoke nuisance might be minimized without arousing antagonism if proper steps were taken. Mrs. E. R. Kroeger, chairman of the women’s organization, said Tuesday it was agreed that the present ordinance Should be replaced by one of more ef- ficiency and strength. It should make provision for deputy inspectors and for expert engineering advice to manufac- turers who are putting in new boilers or remodeling old ones, she said, Mrs. Kroeger added, however, that neither the woman's organization nor the man- ufacturers were committed to support any particular measure at present. The Civic League is offering a sub- stitute for the present ordinance, but it is considered radical. by some. Mrs. Kroeger said she was pleased by the league’s desire to co-operate with her society. Other conferences will be called, she said, as soon as all points to be covered by the proposed ordi- nance have been gone over.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. BARK MEN'S SOLE “AIM REACTIONARY Supporters, Under the Surface, Are for Harmon. NOW A FIGHT OF BOSSES Holds Opposition Campaigners Responsible for the War Within the Party. Charges that the attorneys and rep- resentatives of the street and steam railway corporations and other special interests in St. Louis are supporting Speaker Clark in his fight for the Demo- cratic presidential indorsement in Mis- souri for the purpose of eventually turning the delegation over to a reac- fionary canidicate for President were made in a statement given out Tucsday by Lon Sanders, campaign manager for Josep) W. Foix. All the political influences in St. Louis and Missouri that made Folk’s work as Cireuit Attorney and Governor neces- sary te rid the city and State of bood- lers and lobbyists are now back of the Clark candidacy for the purpose of elim- inating Folk as a political factor in the State, according to Sanders. Really for Harmon. He Sars. "This is no longer a fight between Glark and Folk, but it is a fight be- tween the bosses of St. Louis and the Democrats of the State,’’ said Sanders. “Ask any representative of the reaction- ary forces in St. Louis who he is for, and the answer will be Clark. Ask the political attorneys for the corporate interests in St. Louis who they are for, and the answer will be Clark. “Scratch these men under the surface and it will be found in nearly every instance they are actually for Harmon, and are using Clark’s name in an effort to secure a reactionary delegation in Missouri. There is a conspiracy on the part of the St. Louis reactionaries to capture the Missouri delegation and the conspirators are using the name of Mr. Clark to accomplish their purposes. “While I do not say, and have not said, that Mr. Clark represents these in- terests, I do say that these interests are working tooth and toe nail for Clark in Missouri, and it Is not because thev a:2 for Clark, but it is because they are against Folk, and the things that Folk represents. “The Democratic party of Missouri, through its regularly constituted represe@atives in convention assem- bled, as a ftesult of a harmony agree- ment, generally acquiesced in by the State, pledged the delegation of Missouri to Gov. Folk, and Mr. Clark was a party to this agreement. “It is an outrage to even make us contest to have the promise of the Democratic platform kept. We have come to strange times in Missouri if @ man cannot offer a resolution at a Democratic convention to indorse the last National and State Democratic platform without being charged with being a disturber. “Clark Men Responsible.” “We have done everything possible to have peace, but the Clark people, disre- garding Mr. Clark's obligation, repudiat- ing the advice of Mr. Bryan, have as- sumed the responsibility of war within the party.’’ The Clark headquarters in the Plant- ers seem virtually to have been aban- doned. No one was there Tuesday but a stenographer. The Clark headquarters at Louisiana, under the management of Mdward A. Glenn, is making the active fight for Clark in the State. TO INVESTIGATE SUIT Judge Hears Plaintiff's Wife Is in Asylum. When the divorce case of Charles R. Frizzell against Mildred Frizzell was ealled in Judge Allen's court Monday the Judge announced he would continue it to investigate a report that Mrs. Frizzell is in an asylum at Jackson- Ville, 111. An attorney who said he was acquainted with Mrs. Frizzell's family said that Mrs. Frizzell had been ad- judged of unsound mind in 199 and is now at Jacksonville. Attorney Willard H. Gust, represent- ing Frizzell, said he was in ignorance of Mrs. Frizzell’s whereabouts. Friz- gell allewed his wife deserted him in 3007 and that he did not know where she was. os IS FREED ——— BOY SLAYER Tells How He Accidentally Shot His Chum.

Almon R. Shaffer Jr., lately cashier of the Jai Alai skating rink, and a hold- er of five shares in the Jai Alai Rink Co., filed a suit Tuesday for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the company. The individual defendants named in the suit are Sol N. Oppenheimer, Moses N. Sale and Robert E. Nolker. Oppen- heimer and his brother, Jacob Oppen- heimer, were managers for several sea- sons of Suburban Garden, for which a receiver was recently appointed. Sol Oppenheimer has been manager of the rink and his brother assistant manager. Shaffer alleges, in his suit, that Sale and Nolker were creditors of Sol Oppen- heimer, and took stock in the Jail Alai company in payment of claims against him. The three hold all the stock, the petition states, except Shaffer’s five shares and one belonging to Sigmund Goldman, He states that the company is insol- vent and alleges mismanagement, in that Jacob Oppenheimer, as he alleges, has foreed his company on skaters in a manner distasteful to them. He also states that the boys assisting skaters have been required to pay $2 to $% a week for the privilege. of doing this work, which is productive of tips to such an extent that no wages are paid to them. The.seven instructors, he said, keep half of the money paid them, at 50 cents a lesson, and half goes to the management. Shaffer was cashier from last Septem- ber to December. Former Judge Sale, president of the Jail Alai company, told a _ Post-Dis- patch reporter that the charges in the petition were not true, and that Shaffer recently sought to seil the Oppenheimers his five shares of stock. Sale advised them against paying the price he asked, and he expressed the opinion that this caused the suit. The company’s cap- ital stock is $6000. The receivership suit was assigned to Judge Allen's court.

By Associated Press, FORT WORTH, Tex., Jan. 30.—Tech- nical obstructions set up to delay the trial of John B. Snead,Amarillo banker, accused of the killing of Capt. A. G. Boyce Sr., were cleared away today by Court rulings and immediately it became apparent that the defense would resort to the “‘unwritten law’”’ to justify the killing that is presumed to have resulted from the elopement of Snead’s wife with Boyce’s son. After Justice Swayne had denied a motion aimed to quash the indictment against Snead, he granted an order directing telegraph companies to pro- duce telegrams that passed between young Boyce and his father after the elopement. The defense, it is believed, designs to show that the elder Boyce, who was shot by Snead in a Fort Worth hotel the night of Jan. 13, aided in the elopement. NeGRO TRUSTY IN COURT ATTACKS A ULAYTON DEPUTY Effort to Throw Harry Wengler Over Stair Rail Stops Trial, Women Scream. Jesse Alston, a negro trusty, weighing 275 pounds, disturbed a case on hearing Tuesday afternoon in Judge Wurde- man’s court in Clayton, by attempting to throw Deputy Sheriff Harry Wengler ‘lover a secondad-story balustrade. Alston, for several days, sought to listen to testimony in court and had heen ordered out frequently by Wengler. When the Deputy Sheriff saw the negro again in the courtroom, he told him to go. The negro seized Wengler about the waist, pulled him into the corridor and began dragging him to the balustrade, a railing three feet high around a circular opening with a drop of about 30 feet to the floor beneath. Wengler was so as- tonished by the sudden attack that he was unable to resist until he was at the point of being thrown over. Women in the courtroom screamed and men rushed to the depyty sheriff’s as- sistance. In the scuffle his revolver fell to the floor. Jailer George Kern and Justice Werre- meyer seized the negro and helped Wengler to overpower him. “T wanted to speak to panted Alston, He was placed in a cell by Wengler.

Dr. Pinckney French, member of the faculty of Barnes University, and Rob- ert F. Walker, attorney for the fac- ulty Realty Co., owners of the unt- versity, against whom an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed last week, became involved in a controversy in which heated terms figured, in the United States District Curt, Tuesday. Judge Dyer reminded them that they were not in Police Court. Walker, appearing for the defendant company, filed an affidavit from A. M. La Fon, one of the petitioning credit- ors, Stating that La Fon did not author- ize the use of his name, and that the realty company owed him nothing. Judge Dyer asked the attorney for the creditors how it was that La Fon’s name was used. The attorney said that Dr. Thomas B. Mansfield had author- ized it. Dr. Mansfield was in court and Judge Dyer asked him to explain. “Your Honor,’ Dr. Mansfield began, “La Fon told me’’—— “May it please the Court,”’ interrupted, ‘Dr. Pinckney prompting the witness.”’ Walker suggested that if the court were going to hear testimony, he set a time for a formal hearing when La Fon coulda be in court. Judge Dyer said he wanted to hear everything, and set the hearing for 26 a. mm. Saturday. WILLIAM MOHRLE DIES Father of ‘Yellow Kid’ Mohrle, Shot by ‘Red Mike’ Kane.

FEARS BRAIN CONCUSSION Declares He Was Backed Up toa Wall and Beaten for Not Giving His Name. 2 Andrew V. Erving of 317 North Twen- : : -_ Wrv tieth street, proprieto: of the Erving Auto Repair Co., is !n bei at his heme with his nose broken, his lips cut and possible concussion of the brain, the results, he says, of a beating he re- ceived at the hands of Sergt. Louis J. Lang and Patrolman Otto W. Berber- ich of the Central District. He has complained against Lang and Berberich to Police Commissioner Abbott, has em- ployed Attorney Breckenridge Long an‘ says he is determined to have the men punished. Lang and Berberich deny they assaulted Erving. Before Erving went into business for himself he was associated with Aero- naut John Berry and built a number of his aerial craft. He was formerly foreman of the Halsey Automobile Co. He is married and has three children. Erving, as he lay in bed Tuesday morning, told a Post-Dispatch reporter his story. “I left home at 10 o’clock Sunday night,” he said, ‘“‘to go to the Mar- quette Hotel and see John Holland, the baggage master there. As I Was cross- ing the street at Eighteenth and Locust I heard a hail behind me, but I did not suppose it was for me and did not heed it. When the call was repeated I stopped and looked back. Backed Against Wall; Beaten. “The policeman, whose name I have since learned is Berberich, came up and asked me what my name was. ‘Why de you want to know my name?’ I asked. ‘I’ll show you, you sneak thief,’ he an- swered, and struck me in the face. The sergeant came up and botn of tnem backed me against a wall and beat me, “They desisted when two men and two women and some children approacned from the direction of Union Station and took me to the patrol box at Kighteenth and St. Charles streets. I would iike very much to find out who the men and women were who passed during the al- tercation, as they could corroborate what I say. As it is, it is my word against the word of the two policemen. “While we were waiting at the patrol box for the wagon, I gave the police- men my business card and asked them to take me to the Marquette Hotel, near by, where I could be identified, but they said they did not care who I was, they were going to lock me up, Not Allowed to Get Bond. “At the Central District Station I asked to be permitted to sign my own bond. Sergt. Lang told the desk ser- geant I was a bad man and should not be released on bond. I then asked that Holland be notified, so that he could get a bondsman for me, but they refused and I was locked up. “I called the turnkey and asked him to notify Holland, telling him I had a family and must get out of there. ‘T don’t care,’ he said, ‘if you have five families, you are going to stay here until morning.’ “T kept on pleading with him and finally he notified Holland and he came to the station at 1:30 Monday morning and obtained a bondsman for me. He then took me to the office of Dr. E. E. Holt at 1532 Franklin avenue and then went home. The Doctor says he cannot tell yet whether I have concussion of the brain and has advised me to stay in bed a few days.’’ Erving was acquitted in the Avenue Police Court Monday of dis.. turbing the peace.

Accompanied by Attorney Long, Ervy- ing went to the office of Police Commis- gioner Abbott to make a complaint. While he was telling his story he be- came hysterical and it was necessary for him to be taken home. No Formal Complaint Filed. Commissioner Abbott said, Tuesday, Erving had not filed a forma] complaint with him. He said Erving had called to ask how to proceed, and Abbott told him to file his charges with the Chief of Police. Erving has not filed charges with the Chief, but Chief Young has directed Capt. Schwartz to make an investigation, have the Sergeant and patrolman make reports and obtain the statement of Erving. Desk Sergeant Alexander, who was in charge of the Central District office when Erving was brought in, says Er- ving did not complain of having been beaten. At Erving’s request, Hollana was notified and came to the statioa and obtained a bondsman. Berberich says he hailed Erving be- cause he was looking for a man who had stolen lead pipe from the old Smith Academy building on Washington ave- nue, and that when he questioned Er- ving he became abusive. Both Lang and Berberich have good records. Lang has walked in trouble- some districts and there never has beeuv a complaint against him. Berberich once was charged by a crowd of ne groes with beating them, but was ac- quitted. #2000 Red Cross Fund for China.

Story & Clark Piano Co. 3540 Olive St. St. Louis, Mo. ‘ Protzmann held, as did Haller, that the carpenters had not made their case. McKelvey, testifying for the last hour and a half of a hearing which ended at 2:30 a. m., Tuesday, defended his official conduct in connection with the recon- struction of the theater, the work on which was performed by the McKelvey Construction Co. McKelvey admitted that his firm took the general reconstruction contract un- der the St. Louis Theater Co., which ob- tained the permit, but that he was not president of the company at the time, having resigned before taking office with the city last April. The report of the company to the Secretary of State last July, naming him as its president, and @ similar entry in Gould’s Red- Book, published in December, were de- clared by him to be mistakes. George E. Mix, attorney for the Carpenters’ District Council, tried to get him to ad- mit that he was not an architect of five years’ experience, and therefore was not qualified to be commissioner. McKelvey said he had not given a cer- tificate, as required by law, to show that the work done by his company on Hav- lin’s complied with the requirements. “How could you furnish a certificate as Building Commissioner to the con- tractor, in this case the McKelvey Con- struction Co., in a dual capacity?" Mix asked. “The ordinance that makes that pro- vision is a dead letter and never has keen enforced,” McKelvey retorted. “Besides, any man with a clear con- science and who was honest could do +” “Did your office know officially that the St. Louis Theater Co. was the con- tractor named in the permit and that the McKelvey Construction Co. was the contractor in fact?” asked Mix. Anyone Can Get Permit. McKelvey replied that his office usu- ally does not know who the contractor is. “It is customary to give a permit to any who asks for it,’’ he said. McKelvey aiso admitted on cross-ex- amination that the permit called for $2000 worth of work to be done and that $11,600 worth of work was actually done.

He said that he usually did not know ‘when the work done was in excess of the amount specified in the permit. ' “But you did know it in this case,”’ said Mix. eo.” “Has the city gotten the balance?” oe “Why not?” ‘Because nobody paid it.’’ The amount paid for the permit was $1.50. The building code provides the payment of $1 for the first $1000 and 60 cents for each additional $1000 of the contract. The cost of the permit, ac- cording to the amount McKelvey testi- fied the work cost should have been $6.50. In reply to the question as to whether he was an architect, McKelvey said he (had never been classified in the direc- tory under that heading, but that he had had his name on the window at his piace of business as an architect and superintendent. Drew Plans for Homes, McKelvey said that he had never drawn up plans for a theater or an office building, but that he had built residences named. 11 buildings that he had con- structed since 19%4 for which, he testified, he drew the plans as an architect. The permits were produced and his name was on seven of them as the arghitect. Among the permits produced were three uutomobile gasoline houses, a feed house, a feed store and a salesroom. Asked if he had preserved any ef the plans that he had drawn up, McKelvey said he had not. | “What did you do with your tracings?” Mix asked. * “Oh, I gave them to my little girl to make doll clothes out of,’”’ McKelvey re- plied. ‘‘The tracings are drawn on linen and make nice doll clothes when washed out.”’ McKelvey said that he had written to Louis A. Cella of the St. Louis Thea- iter Co. ordering the improvements imade in the theater which were sug- gested by Mayor Kreismann after his ‘investigation of the condition of the |building. In the letter McKelvey said (he ordered a steel girder to replace the laminated wooden girder which the car- ‘penters, H. C. Henley of the Fire Pre- | vention Bureau and others testified to being canted in previous hearings. ‘“T wrote that letter to Cella under protest,’’ McKelvey testified, “‘when [ was ordered to do so by the Mayor. | Understand that,’’ he emphasized, ‘‘I ‘gent it under protest.”’ Verbai Order About Theater. McKelvey said that he had never given a written order to close the thea- ter, but said that he had given a ver- bal order to the management to com- riy with the improvements suggested or discontinue. He said the theater vas closed two days later. He said he was waiting for the owners to comply vith his demands and understood that the ordinance gave him the right to make the improvements at the owners’ expense, but that he did not care to get the city into a lawsuit. Questioned as to his connection with the McKelvey Construction Co., McKel- vey said that he had resigned as presi- dent of the concern in April, 1911, sev- eral weeks before he became Building Commissioner. “Do you know that the Gould Red Rook lists you as president of the com- pany?” Mix asked. “7 gidn’t know that,” McKelvey re- sponded. “and that the report of your com- pany made in July, 1911, to the Secre- tary of State, stated that you Were president at that time?’’ “r have not been. president April.” “But how about your name on the re- port in July?” “That must be an error.” Pays Men on Havlin Job. McKelvey said that he owned half the atock of the McKelvey Construction Co. and that he had paid off the men on the Havlin’s job twice In July at 12 o'clock Saturday. He also said that he lived around the corner from a job being done by his company on Manchester avenue, near Arco avenue, and that he was there from 7 to 7:30 a. m. every day. “But I was at my office at the city hall at 8 o’clock,’’-he added. McKelvey denied charges of the car- penters that his company obtained the Havlin’s reconstruction job from Frank Tate by stopping work on the Grand Opera House, in which Tate was also interested: Tate, who Was connected with the St. Louis Theater Co., which operated Haviin’s Theater until Jast

since

~ algo testified that no coercion was hused by McKelvey in obtaining the jop ; and drawn the plans for them. Hej ——

and that he had spoken to J. F. Chris- tophel, then employed by the McKel- vey Construction Co. and now permit clerk in McKelvey’s office, about the job before McKelvey became Building P Cominiesioner. “Weren't you told, Mr. Tate.” ques- tioned Mix, “that you could continue work on the Grand Opera House if you knew that there was such a company as the McKelvey Construction Co.?” ‘The man who makes that statement is a liar as dark as hell,” retorted Tate. “I closed the Grand Opera House myself to make changes which McKel- vey suggested and which were a good thing for the theater. We put in a trick proscenium and steel balconies that cost $10,000, at nis suggestion. Says Labor Was a Tool, “The same persons caused that charge to be made who instigated the carpen- ters to make the charges in regard to Havlin’s. The influence of the propri- etors of cheap theaters in the neighbor- hood is behind the charges and the labor organization has been used as-a tool.” Direct reference was made in this con- nection to the Hippodrome, conducted by Frank L. Talbot, and Tate said that he was interested with Talbot in the Gem Theater. He said that the fact that Havlin’s had planed to open with 10-cent vaudeville after the first of the year caused the opposition. He said that the charges had ruined Havlin’s Theater. Tate said that he gave the reconstruc- tion work on Havlin’s to the McKelvey company because he didn’t have time to wait for bids. “‘I want you td take this job, Jim,’ I told McKelvey,’’ Tate testified. “*‘Do you think it will em- barrass you in connection with your job?’ ‘No,’”’ he said McKelvey replied, “not a bit. I'll see that the city gets the best of it.’ ”’

> ee oe ae eee Scientific Wrinkle Remover Easily Made (From Ladies’ Favorite Magazine.) A few dermatologists have long held the secret that a certain prod- uct, known to the drug trade as gax- olite, had the property when used in solution, of instantly reducing wrin- kles. Any one can readily make this same solution by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. Bathe the face in this—and note the immediate transformation! The skin tightens, becomes firmer—deepest wrinkles at once begin to smooth out. This action will of course also reduce hanging cheeks or double chin. When the hands show signs of aging, the skin becoming coarse, creased or flabby, bathe them in the solution. Since the recent publica- tion of this formula, men and women all over the country have taken ad- vantage of the information, accord- ing to reports, with most satisfac- tory results.—ADV.

Senator Lorimer referred to it as “‘left- banded support.” Silence in 1896 Explained Failure of the Trubune to attack him in 1896 when he was a candidate for Congress was explained this way: “I considered that Robert Patterson thought that was a way to pay me back for electing him a delegate to the national convention,” E.

tually were serted. Today the city was as near under mar- tial law as it is possible under the Mas- sachusetts statutes. Col. Sweetser has under his command nearly two full regi- ments of soldiers, totaling about 1200 men. Col. Sweetser said the position of the militia was no longer that of wait- } ing for trouble to develop, but that the soldiers were looking for trouble. His | orders to the troops are that persons shall not be allowed to congregate in the streets, and today the military zone was extended to include the entire city instead of the mill district. Twice early today shots were fired by militiamen, but without injury to any- one. In the first instance ice cutters at | work on the Merrimac River were mis- taken for strikers seeking to reach the mill section and a squad of soldiers, after trying in vain to warn them off the ice, fired over their heads. Shots alse were discharged in the direction of some objects across the river which the militiamen thought, in the dim dawn, were men moving toward the mills, but it was said the suspected objects were merely logs. . The worst rioting in the fortnight of the strike occurred yesterday when street cars were held up and stoned by mobs which refused to let opera- tives go into the mills.

School Official Arrested. Late at night the State police, who investigated the finding of dynamite in different sections of the city and decid- «d the explosive was “‘planted,’’ caused a sensation by arresting School Com- mitteeman John Breen, @ son of former Mayor Breen, and oné of the most prominent citizens of Lawrence. Breen was charged formally with “conspiracy to mar, deface and destroy’ property. He was released under $1000 bonds. Joseph J. Ettor, leader of the strikers,

By MARGUERITE MARTYN. ANY long-cherished ideals, as wel! MV as many acknowledged present- day evils are easily demolished in a conversation with Prof. Nathaniel Schmidt. Such sentiments as ‘‘filial obedience,”’ ‘parental authority,’’ ‘head of the fam- ily,’’ “‘the rights of wives to be supported by their husbands” and ‘‘the infallability of mother love’ become exploded fal- lacies under the professor's ruthless and skillful blows. For Prof. Schmidt in his suave, smooth-spoken, confident manner, some-! how convinces you his theories are the most plausible and feasible in the world. The Cornell professor as a _ lecturer on various subjects, sociological and otherwise, has become an annual event in St. Louis, to which certain circles of people look forward to instruct and inspire them and to sustain their faith in a new future. On this visit he has lectured before the faculty of Washington University, is delivering a series of lectures at Eth- ical Culture Hall and will speak »\. ednes- day afternoon at the Cabanne Branch Library on the woman question. “If you steal all my thunder, I shan't have anything left to say at my lec- tures,” he said, laughingly, on granting his interview in the home of Dr. Fischel, where he is staying. But I can assure you, from my slight experience, the time is far from arriving when Prof. Schmidt will not have many und new ideas to express. Wife Should Be Wage Earner tf Necessary é¢ [) O you mean women should be engaged in gainful occupa- tions after marriage?” l asked, apropos his remark that wives should be economically independent. “Assuredly, yes,” he replied. “A wife should contribute her share of labor and earnings to the family partnership. The ideal arrangement, when there are no children, is that both should earn money if money is needed and if not

A RANK OFFENSE. But when I spoke to Gov, Wilson about it he said some uncivil things of Mr. Ryan, ex- pressing a fear that if the knowledge of such a contribution got abroad, it might do more harm than good—an opinion with which Col. Harvey promptly concurred and the matter went no further.—-From Col. Watterson’s latest effusion on the Wilson-Harvey-Watter- son imbroglio.

The revolutionary armies in China seem wel] ‘ provided for. It is the people of that country who are now passing through a Valley Forge. River floods and an interrupcion of farming caused .by the war have :esulted in famine in large areas. As Dr. Ng Poon Chew explained while in St. Louis last week, inadequate trans- port aggravates the distress. To convey supplies “from portions of the country where crops are good to portions where shortages exist is a work of months because of a lack of railroads. The new regime there opens under circum- stances giving us an exceptional interest in the future of its people. American ideals form the very foundation of the new plan of government. The admiration which the republican leaders have for the United States as China’s one sincere friend in all the world may be extended to the masses of the people by being a friend in need. We hav> not only a duty but an opportunity to help the Chinese. The Red Cross appeals of President Taft and Gov. Hadley should have an immediate response. Thousands of Chinese must erish from starva- tion before help can reach them, but millions of famine sufferers will remain who can be saved by prompt relief on a generous scale. a ££ & oe ae Trouble over money is not ground for divorce, nccording to a Clayton judge. That doesn’t bar trouble over lack of money, however. a ws i. a A ‘, ~~ TWO REPUBLICAN PARTIES. Specifications from the White House itself give plausible explanations as to why certain Gov- ernors and others who did not get the Federal jobs they wanted for friends oppose Mr. Taft. The hostile dembnstrations against the President, however, are too formidable to be dismissed light- ly as only a combine of the “grouches” of the party for retaliation. The split in Republicanism covers a great horizontal extent and seems to stretch down through all its various strata. An assertion from Gov. Stubbs was not needed to show the desperate condition of the second- termers in Mr. Taft's own State. The President makes confession by rushing to Ohio and endeav- oring to put down the revolt with a three-day campaign. In fact, a film picture of the struggle in Mis- douri would be recognizable as an accurate repre- sentation of conditions in many other states that send large delegations to the convention. And nowhere is the outlook more ominous than in the patronage-controlled Republicanism of the South. Half the delegates from Dixie may be against Mr. Taft because they fear his defeat and a loss of the jobs to Democrats. So far there is no evidence that the opposition to a second term, based on grounds of party expediency, is more formidable than the opposi- tion to a third term, based on grounds more fun- Gamental and patriotic and far weightier. But it fs certain that, whoever becomes the beneficiary of it, there will be a menacing, stubborn, trrecon- cilable, powerful opposition to Mr. Taft im. the

WHAT IS THE MONEY POWER? There was sense in the remarks of Samuel Untermeyer of New York before the House Rules Committee, on the desirability of a confprehen- sive investigation of the so-called Money Trust. Mr. Untermeyer, who is familiar with Wall Street methods, does not charge that there is a Money Trust in the sense of an illegal combination, but that there is a concentration of financial power in the hands of certain individuals and corpora- tions controlling the money of the country through their ability to command the deposits of the banks and trust companies. Mr. Untermeyer deprecates a mere surface in- quiry for political purposes, but insists that a thorough investigation of wide scope is necessary for intelligent legislation concerning trusts and monetary systems. An understanding of the con- centration of the money power which underlies all our economic questions must precede effective action. He thus outlines the field of inquiry: The committee would have to examine the relations of our leading international banking houses and their controlled institutions to our railroad and industrial corporations. It would involve an examination of the methods of the Stock Exchange and the Clearing House Association, and an analysis of the complicat- ed network of the colossal financial structure that is responsible for the growing money oligarchy that threatens us with danger. Mr. Untermeyer is right when he says that banks were instituted as public agencies for the benefit and convenience of the people and are diverted from their proper purposes when they are used to promote speculation, organize projects and underwrite corporation securities. When pro- moters control banks and use them as the instru- ments of high finance the business of the country is menaced. We have had repeated charges from high sources that there is a Money Trust. The exist- ence of a vast and potent concentration of money power cannot be denied. Full knowledge of the sources, methods and operation of this power would be instructive. It would throw light on many problems which are pressing for solution. It would open the way for enlightened legislation and might disclose the root of the evils from which we are suffering. & a — — -S ws “Is Harpers’ Weekly hurting you?” asked Col. Harvey. “Yes,” said Gov. - Wilson truthfully. But a tremendous misuse of the English lan- guage has followed so simple an incident. a, An hi — Se IN THE FOREGROUND OF THE FORTY. As one of the “Forty: Immortals’’ selected by the “National American Institute,” Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, “editor, author and United States Senator,” may be surprised to find that immortality, through productions destined to everlasting survival in art and letters, has come to him so easily. While engaged in taking care of the Massachusetts “interests” in politics, he has edited a few things and composed a few other things, just to show what a mind great in Massachusetts statesmanship might have done in art and letters. He did not think much of these things himself; not much more than the public did, in fact, but now it appears that they have already handed him down to everlasting fame, even though as a statesman he may pass perma- nently into the list of back numbers. Surprised as he may be that he should be one of the 39 entitled to rank on the National Insti- tute list with Theodore Roosevelt as creators of immortal art and undying literature, Senator Lodge may be satisfied to accept the decision and value himself hereafter for his newly discovered greatness as an artist. As American literary artists, he and the Faunal Naturalist are so nearly sufficient in the foreground that it is hardly necessary to look back of them to find the other 38. If we are asked now what is immortal in American art and literature, we can answer that it is what Lodge edits and Roosevelt writes. La Le Le» 7~ — a a “My friendship with Roger Sullivan,” says Senator Lorimer. Does he think that mention of this holy alliance will serve him as a good

_=_ = * — a: ae THE MATCH AND THE POWDER KEG. Mob rule and revolution in Ecuador may seem very far ;way and unimportant, but the man who knows his South America does no” so consider it. Ecuadoreans accuse Peru of fomenting these internal dissensions. Peru and Ecuador have a long-standing boundary feud. Peru offered to re- fer the dispute to a commission of the United States, Argentina and Brazil. Ecuador refused. Peru says the refusal was inspired by Chile, seeking to stir up the embers of the war of 1879, in which Peru lost the provinces of Tacus and Arica to Chile. Chile promised in the treaty of Ancon which closed this war that a plebiscite would be taken in Tacna and Arica to let the inhabitants vote zens of Chile. This has never been done. Peru charges that the delay has been for the purpose of driving out Peruvians and making sure of a majority for Chilean rule.

Dean Lawson on Court Proceeding. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Before the City Club on Thursday Dean Law- son paid compliments to the conduct of the Crip- pen trial, its speediness, etc. Was it quite fair for him to forbear to mention that after Crippen was dead his counsel, Mr. Arthur Newton, was suspended from practice for one year for “profes- sional misconduct” tn that he had failed to use “due diligence in the defense of his client?” Of course that comforted Crippen greatly after he had been removed to a jurisdiction where the anomalous afterclaps of retributive justice are presumably unknown. And when the dean, on inquiry about which of our states had the “the” decision, holding an in- dictment defective because it concluded against the peace and dignity “of state’ instead “of the State,” stated to his English acqua‘ntance that this was a Missouri decision, was he fgnorant that the same ruling had been announced in all other states theretofore having a similar constitutional provision, and that the decision inquired about might be from Virginia, West Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, Wisconsin or, perhaps, New Hamp- shire? The dean seemed to think we are sticking in the bark of the fact. As a matter of fact, in 1838, in Spencer vs. Meddler, No. 458, it had been ruled that “‘the’” might be omitted under another part of this same constitutional provision. Un- less the dean was ignorant of all the above he was rather sensational before his lay audience. AMICUS CURIAE, Presidential Campaign Expenses. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In place of dependingsjon men of wealth for contributions for expense of running presidential campaigns, have the governors issue stamps every four years, a year in advance of an election, spe- cially for the purpose, say 50,000,000 2c or 60,000,- C00 le stamps or the number of the total votes polled, and tax each individual voter 2c—a small contribution—and divide the amount up between Democrats and Republicans, or allow a margin on the amount for a third party to carry on the cam- paign. By doing this there would not be the pres- ent difficulty of an honest man like Woodrow Wilson being embarrassed by men of wealth who desire to finance his campaign. POLITICUS,

No Skullduggery in the Primary. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, No skullduggery should be permitted in the Democratic primary soon to be held in this city. Some persons like devious methods. With them a straight line is not the shortest distance be- tween two points. Show them the object to be attained and they will immediately travel a circuitous route to reach it. Any other course wculd, in their estimation, be proof positive of stupidity. To be smart means, in their vocabu- lary, to be a crafty intriguer. Too many such morally and mentally obfuscated individuals make themselves perniciously evident in practical poli- tics, especially in large cities including St, Louis. Several of them are already conspicuously in evi- dence in the preliminaries to the approaching Democratic primary in this city. They think they are hid, but they have merely buried their noses in the sand, thereby giving more prominent pub- licity to their posteriors, exposing them for tar- get practice. These are the practitioners of skullduggery who should be suppressed in the coming primary. All citizens of St. Louis interested in the well- being of Democracy should take an active part in thwarting this skullduggery. Particularly the State and City Democratic Committees should exert themselves to prevent its success, Pre- vention is better than cure. The Democratic City Committee should promptly issue a manifesto that all political reptiles found indulging in skulldug- gery in connection with this primary shall be scotched, or killed, metaphorically. This is the only available means to give us an honest Demo- eratic primary in St. Louis and a consequently harmonious Democratic Convention at Joplin. It is not a question of preference of Folk, Clark, or any other Democratic candidate for the presidency. The question at issue js: Shall we have a Democratic primary in St. Louts minus skullduggery? JOSEPH O’FLYNN, eel eetetenteeeten aol Opportunity for Rich Men’s Sons. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have read with much interest Mr. Stevens’ articles on “Self-Made St. Louisans,” and expect to be benefited by the advice of these honorable gentlemen, It appears from ,articles already printed that the poor boy is the only one who can expect to appear among the ranks of self-made men. The rich man’s son seems to be the target at which these gentlemen are aiming thetr arrows, and I kindly request Mr. Stevens to ask some of the self-made St. Loulsans whose articles have not yet appeared: What should the rich man’s son do to make his mark in life? I hope you will give my letter space in your columns, as I belleve I am not the only one who would like to have their views on this important

Price of Olemargarine. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. According to a Washington dispatch, Royall E. Cobell, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, gave it as his opinion, before a sub-committee on agri- culture, that reducing the tax on colored oleo- margarine from 10 cents per pound to 1 cent per pound would increase the Federal revenues $1,000,000. | In the first place, an opinion is not a fact. A man may be mistaken in his opinions. In the sec- ond place, the tax of 10 cents per pound on col- ored oleomargarine was put there to prevent packers from swindling the people by palming off an imitation as actual butter. In the third place, if the tax is reduced to 1 cent per pound the pack- ers would pocket 9 cents’ difference, the public paying just as much as before. In the fourth place, those who prefer oleomargarine o ccount of price can buy the uncolored at a mu lower price, instead of paying a fancy price, as they do when buyjns the colored. ONE WHO KNOWS,

TILDEN AND WATTERSON, F'rom the New York Tribune. Samuel J. Tilden, the encyclopedias tell us, was a leader of the bar in this State as far back as 1855, when Col. Watterson was still a schoolboy. He had been active in the Free Soil move- ment within the Democratic party, had been a candidate for Attorney-General] on the Democratic ticket In 1855, and by 1868, when Mr. Watterson was just set- tling down in Louisville, had definitely assumed the: leadership of the Demo- cratic party in this State. His successful fight against the Tweed ring was gener- ally supposed to have given him a na- tional reputation, and the direct result of that fight was his election as Gov- ernor in 1874. In the view of the unin- structed hereabouts he had become through his own efforts the logical Dem- ocratic nominee for President in 1876. The encyclopedia editors never dis- covered that Mr. Tilden was indebted to Col. Watterson for farreaching ser- vices of exactly the same sort as those which Col. Harvey has recently been lavishing on Gov. Wilson. But now the veil of secrecy is torn aside and the rea] deus ex machina of 1876 steps forth. Let us hope that into the relations be- ' nel there never entered anything either schoolmasterish or ‘“‘austere.’’ —— A NO-SMOKING RULE, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fire Commissioner. Johnson of New York City has determined to stop the smoking of cigars, cigarettes and pipes in all factory buildings under his juris- diction. He found that in 1910 no less than 3245 fires were caused by careless- ness on the part of smokers. Appealing +o the city’s law department, he learned that a law relating to the insecurity of life and property was sufficiently broad in its provisions to give him authority to abolish smoking. The Commissioner has caused notices of the prohibition to be posted in all factories.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says po- litical gratitude is a dangerous virtue in public men. Still, if they are to be ungrateful they would be wiser t6 defer it until after the election.

'% One guess around. PT te ei, HAIR. Man is an animal, and was originally upholstered in a thick suit of hair much like that which contains a dog. It was long in the Arctics, medium in the temperate zones, and short in the trop- ics. This was not due to the clime, but a provision of Nature to keep the human race reasonably distributed over the globe. Men increased along their own latitude according to the length of their hair, and in time projected their kind around the earth. It was not a race, but a nicely calculated progression by which they all made the circuit in about the same time. Thus, the Arctic man, having to contend with a climate more or less hostile to human life, had a short circuit, and the tropical man, following the latitude of least resist- ance, had a long one. Thus did man become universal. When clothes came into use, they wore the hair off; but man remains an ani- mal, however dehaired. clothes resemble hair, the more natural they feel, and the better man ifnstinct- ively likes them. This accounts for the popularity of the present Alredale hat. Especially with a bald-headed man, the sight of one rouses primordial tin- Jack London attributes his genius for primitive fiction to impres- sions from prior selves. The man who wears a fuzzy hat and a rough suit feels the same thing, but he doesn’t know it. That is why we are telling stincts. tim about it.

HE mountains, the mist, and the moonlight! There ain't nothin’ like ‘em—is_ there, Jim?’’ The girl looked up into the man’s face. She stood lean- ing on the fence, both el- bows resting on the top rail, the moonlight showing full on her up- turned face, softening the heavy lines of mouth and chin. All about them rose the mountains, steeped in moon- light and in shadow, rearing their wooded heights far into the evening sky. Behind them stretched the white road, and beyond that a smal] moun- tain cabin, surrounded by a few acres of rough, rudely-cultivated ground. “The mountains, the mists and the moonlight!’’ The girl’s eyes wandered from the face of the man at her side to the far, dim line of hills; then they came slowly back again. “I ain’t never had much else, Jim, only night after night, just like this one, when I’ve stood here in this same spot and seen the moon come out and the hills begin to shadow. Seem'd like it was the only time of the day when there wan’t nothin’ to do; the supper done and the dishes washed and put away; pa a smokin’ his pipe and the children in bed. Seem’d like the hills was a callin’ me and I had to answer. It’s all I ever had, Jim, till you come.” She paused, and her face showed pale. ‘YT guess I must have always liked you, ever since I could remember. An’ we've been happy together, you an’ mge—'til—’til the last few months. That’s whv I ast you to come tonight.” Her hands pressed hard on the im front of her. ‘Don’t you think I’m blamin’ vou, It’s just one of those things that's got to be. I've watched it a comin’ and I couldn’t see no other way out of it. Why, the children was always a talkin’ "bout the new teacher, an’ last spring when she was so good ’— Her eyes went, suddenly across the fields to where ‘she could see in the moonlight a rough board that marked gm long grave. ‘“Seem'd ' rail s though there never was no time for me to go to school, what with the children a comin’ so fast, an’ all the mendin’ and cookin’, to say nothin’ of the work in the fields.

The ice craft crashed against a rock. “All ashore!" shouted the captain, and the children went ashore hastily, glad to be on land once more, al- though this land seemed strange to them. “Here,” said the captain, address- ing the kiddies, “lives one who is so wise and so good that you will have to obey her always. She will love you and care for you all your lives. But you must always do as she tells you lest some dreadful harm befall you. Follow this path and you will come to her house. Good-by!” “This looks like our own house,” said Ressie, as the two children came upon a small dwelling near the road. And just at that moment a sweet votce called: “Robbie!

And now they Know that. this “wise, good one, who would love and care for them, and whom they must always obey,” was their own dear mamma.

Then, with a quick motion, she came nearer and looked up into his face. “lf wish you’d kiss me once, Jim, be- fore you go—just once. ‘Twon’t be no wrong to her.’’ He stooped and pressed hers, hard and long. “Good-by,” he said, and the tones of his voice roused her. She watched him until he passed out of her sight down the road. Then she rested her arms upon the rail of the fence and laid her head down upon them. ‘The moon. rising higher above the distant hills, looked wan and white. The wind was blowing chill.

She rose dumbly and nassed into the outer reom. The embers had died down, leaving only a pile of dead ashes on the hearth. She un- harred the heavy door and went out into the night. The stillness was like velvet. Before her streiched the long, white road; bevond it the mountains bathed in mists, dark with shadows. She hurried on and on, all the wild unrest of heart and brain reaching out in answer to this wordless, unknown call. Now the mists and the darkness cnfolded her; great crags, cloud-capped. towered above her. She struggled on dumbly. At length, close to a her arm sleepless, down rested she sank She exhausted, great boulder. against the rock and leaned her head upon it. Dimly she felt the peace of the vast, pregnant silence.

Down from the summit. crashing, tearing, splitting the ground in wide, vawning seams, came a mighty forest monarch. It tore through the ranks of the other trees with swift and terrible force. The girl, lifting her head, watched it coming. She stood as one in a dream, making no sound, no motion. Suddenly she stretched out her arms.

With a set smile upon his pallid face, Jarr marched around to where the last persons he ever expected to see at the Lady Steamfitters’ ball were sitting. “What a surprise to see you all here!” he cried with forced gavyety. But Mrs. Stryver, who had been indi- cating Gertrude with her fan to Mrs. Mudridge-Smith, seemed unconscious of his presence. Mr. Smith, his employer, glared stern- ly at him, while the beefy Stryver scowled indignantly. “How dare you come up to speak to my Wife in a place like this?’’ demanded old man Smith, pompously. “Why, er—er, you see, {it’s this way,’ stammered Mr. Jarr. “My wife—er—vou and um—er—ex- see “We see her clothes,’’ said Mrs. Mud- ridge-Smith.

DIVIDEND IS 6 PER CENT

Breckenridge Jones Finds Re- mote Possibility of Rival Buy- ing Pool Certificates.

Since the American Telephone & Tele- graph Co. of New York last Saturday won its long fight to own all the stock of the Bell Telephone Co. of Missouri, there has been a revival of the rumor that the ‘‘Tel-Tel Trust’ is trying to acquire the stock of the Kinloch Co. Officers and directors of the Kinloch “™o. told a Post-Dispatch reporter that there had been no effort by either A. T. & T. or Bell representatives to pur- chase Kinloch stock, and they asserted that it would be impossible for any company or individual at this time to obtain control of the Kinloch because that control is vested in a stock poo) that has four years yet to run. John F. Shepley, one of the Bell direc- tors, who last week agreed to trade his $200,000 Bell stock for American Tele. phone & Telegraph Co. stock, said that in the conferences here a few days ago among Bell directors and U. N. Bethell, vice-president of the A. T. & T., no mention was made of the Kinloch com. pany. Bethell, while here, told a Post- Dispatch reporter the ‘“‘Tel-Tel Trust”’ Lad no designs on the Kinloch at this time. Four Men Trustees of Pool. H. Linton Reber, vice-president and general manager of the Kinloch, says the majority of the stock of the com- pany is in the hands of four men, who are trustees of the stock pool, and no transfer of Kinloch stock could be made without the consent of those four men. They are Sam M. Kennard, Adolphus Busch, William D. Orthwein and C. Marquard Forster. August Gebhner, who died a year ago, was a fifth trustee. Reber said all of the Kinloch stock is owned by the Kinloch Long Distance Telephone Co. of Missouri. The capital stock is $5,000,000 and a little over $3,- 000,000 is in outstanding stock, owned by about 400 stockholders. More than two-thirds of this is in a pool which was formed when the Kin- loch company was incorporated, to run for five years. It has been renewed at the expiration of each period. It last was renewed a year ago. The Kinloch stock in the pool cannot be transferred except with the consent of the trustees, and cannot be veted without the same consent, Reber said. The pool agreement, he said, was filed for record and the stock was in. escrow for the life of the pool. This, Reber thought, would prevent the A. T.. & T. or any other company from getting con- trol of the Kinloch. The stock pool agreement, however, permits the transfer of pool certificates, and Breckinridge Jones, a Kinloch di- rector, admitted this might furnish a loophole whereby anothér company might acquire control, though he doubs- ed the possibility of its being done without becoming public. A Kinloch stockholder in the pool may not trans- fer his stock, but he can sell a pool certificate calling for that stock. Might Try to Dissolve It. Such pool certificates cannot be voted, but Jones said if @ company or an individual acquired pool certificates calling for a majority of the stock, that company then might take steps to dls- solve the pool, and thus acquire contr5l before the expiration of the five-year term. Jones said he considered this an almost impossible contingency, and Re- ber said it could not be done. Kinloch shares now are quoted at 129 and the stock pays 6 per cent dividends. W. D. Orthwein is president: C. Mar- quard Forster, vice-president: H. Lin- ton Reber, vice-president, and general manager, William H. Bassett secretary, H. G, Iadeley treasurer and Adolphus Busch, Murray Carleton, Breckenridge Jones, Sam M. Kennard, William J. Lemp, Henry Nicolaus, W. H. Nolker, Philip Stock, Julius S.

Josef Smejkal, one of the small army of invading foreign “beef-trust’”” now overrunning the country in search of a clew to the world’s championship, will be the next giant to show in St. Louis. Smejkal is under the management of Ernest Roeber, formerly champion of the world at the catch-as-catch-can game. He will appear in St. Louis at the Bohemian Gymnasium, Feb. lJ, against the Irish giant, Tom Connelly. The affair will be a finish one, catch- as-catch-can style, best two in three falls to win. Of all the members of the trust,’’ Smejkal is the beefiest. He dis- turbs the scales at 280 pounds, when in training, although only 27 years old. He is a Bohemian and he ran all the other little Bohemians out of the gym- nasiums, over there, ’tis said. If Smej- kal broke into a haberdasher’s store, he would send the manager to the padded cell. For example, to inclose his neck in a con- ventional collar would take a size 20, which, of course, no manager could be expected to keep in stock. If he wanted underwear he would smash the sturdiest 56-inch shirt that ever was built. And as for his calf—well, ‘'twould take an elastic bandage to _ gsur- rcund it. Smejkal has been in this country 11 weeks, cout in that time he has made an impres- sion, particularly on Stanislaus Cyganiewiscz, who is known as Zbyszko, probably to ren- der it more easy to pronounce. Smejkal tossed Zbyszko to the mat for one flying fall. and hurled him down a second time for a pin fall: but it was off the mat and didn’t count. But it hurt. Otkers whom Smejkal has met and van- quished are Yankee Rodgers, a giant of greater weight than the Bohemian; Roman- off. a Titan from the Russian steppes, and Rieber.

Tank St. Louis Loses Polo Meet, but Gets Sanction for One Other A. A. U. Event. But one championship aquatic event will be held under the auspices of the Missouri Athletic Club, according to a tentative schedule announced by Sec- retary Sullivan of the A. A. U. That is the plunge for distance contest, whicn has been awarded to the local club and set for Feb. 17. Willard Kaiser of the Cherry Diamond Club is the present champion. The M. A. C. applied for the water polo championship contest, which goes to New York, the date being March 9. Local club officials were hopeful of getting the polo championship as well as the plunge event, but the fact that New York has received the sanction will not prevent the M. A. C, team from competing. Coach Whittaker has the squad work- ing out regularly now and will point his men for the New York contests. The M. A. C. team won the polo cham- pionship last season, although the New York A. C. team did not compete. The tentative dates as announced by Secretary Sullivan follow: Feb. 17, Mis- souril A. C., plunge for distance; Feb. 23, Pittsburg Aquatic Club, 220-yard race; Feb. 24, Pittsburg Athletic Association, 500-yard race; Feb. 28, Chicago A.

Krichell writes that he will begin work in the cage with his players im- mediately and that by reporting time he expects to have cut down considerable weight. Krichell will not sidetrack the local spring training because of his new duties. Manager Harry Davis of the Naps may fear that Vean Gregg and Willle Mitchel! will not prove winners as southpaws for his team. At any rate, that conclusion may be drawn from the fact that he wants “Lefty” George. Hugh Duffy, ex-manager of the Chicago White Sox, predicts that Gregg will not be tho eensation this year that he was in 1911. He says that in the last game that Gregg worked against the Sox he didn’t have a thing and worked as though his arm. hurt him. Duffy says he has it from some of the players that Gregg’s arm is gone. a 2 San Antonio does not want to lose the Athletics this spring and has sent word to Manager Connie Mack that the Alamo is eut of the meningitia zone.

WRAY'S COLUMN MUCH FUSS, LITTLE FIGHT. OMMY DIXON, the ex-navy cham- pion, will have to show us some heavier guns. than those he dis- played in his bout against Oliver Kirk at the Coliseum Monday night ere one can believe he is battleship enough to sink Abe Attell’s champion-ship. Dixon is a fussy little gentleman, whenever he gets in close, whaling away with both hands, as if he were beating the fam- ily rug. If he misses the said carpet as often as he did Kirk, it would take him about three eons to finish his job. * ~ * NO HALLMARK OF GREATNESS. Ber busy as he appears to be, he has nothing that smacks of the title about him save his unwonted and wasted activity. He swings, instead of punching straight. He slaps with the open hand in place of batting with the closed mitt, and the March hare of old is tame compared to this wild man of Borneo. As he fought last night the best thing Dixon showed was speed and willingness. He is neither a punisher nor more than average in cleverness. . * + CAN TRIM HIM AT HOME. i what the hotel they want to send him all the way to Paris for, is more than the human mind may fathom.

He still has says, before his circuit will be fit to put up to the “angels.’’ However, the task is no light one, und the mere fact that the Chicago promoter can arouse as much interest two more towns to look after, he now! as he has done, so far, indicates that he is there with the spark.

A. Cc. meet at the Jai Alai. Thig race will be four miles, each man running one mile. Michigan and Cornell are by all odds the foremost exponents of the long distance running game in Amer- ica. John Moakley, the veteran Cor- nell trainer, has turned out more dis- tance stars than any other athletic coach in this country. His latest “find” is John Paul Jones, the famed racer who holds the world’s amateur mile championship. Another is Berna, intercollegiate two-mile champion. Both will be seen here as members of the Ithacan team. — --—- — Relay a Big Feature. Dr. Cc. W. Bassett, athletic director of. the M. A. C., intends to make the relay nace the feature of his meet in March. He has scratched the pole vault, high jump and broad jump off the list and will probably limit the program to this: 50-yards dash, 45- yards hurdle, 600 and 1000-yards run and shot-put. All other events will be relays. The M. A. C. track team tIntends to cut up a few fancy capers in the com- ing meet. A big squad is working out twice a week in the club gymna- sium and should give a good account of itself. Carl Forline, Jesse Robin- son and John McAuley in the dashes; Eddie Tobin and Harold Canman in the half-mile; Hans Wulff, Watts and Stroh in shot-put, and Biel and Bantle in the mile, are some of the stars trying for the Cherry Diamond team. The M. A. C. meet will serve to reintro- duce Keenan Shock, a quarter-miler who won many races in local meets a few years ago. Shock was considered the premier quarter- miler of the city in 1906-7-8, but hase been eway from St. Louis for two years. He is training again and showing good form. Thirty Tigers to Go Sounth.

He’s the right-hander who was obtained from the Boston Red Sox last season. He officiated in parts of eight games for the Browns, but fared poorly. Illness was blamed for his fail- ure in 1911. Moser was obtained by the Red Sox from the Oakland (Pacific Coast League) team. He had a great record out there in 1910, winning 31 games and losing 20. In 13 of these games he labored as the finish up man, going in after the other fellow showed signs of weakening. Another native son who has forwarded the signed document is Bill Hogan, out- fielder. Bill, like Moser, was ill most of last season. That’s the reason Manager Wallace permitted him to tarry. There were no less than two American League magnates who would have been willing to take Hogan off Wallace’s hands. They were Pat Donovan and Jim Mc- Aleer. Both expressed displeasure last year when it was announced that Ho- gan had been sold by Connie Mack to the Browns. a. — | Tips and Cues Kensas City copped another game from Boston, 50—48, and tightened its hold on second place in the National Amateur Three- Cughion League Monday evening. Bert Kerr played for the Kaw City, while Charlies War- ren held the cue for the Hub Town. Each made a run of 4. Alfredo de Oro, the Cuban cue wizard, who recently lost the three-cushion championship to Joe Carney in a title match at Denver, and then dropped a handicap pool match to Mr Maturo of the same town, stopped off in St. Louls on his way to New York Mon- day. De Oro is a bit peeved at the way he was treated in the Colorado metropolis. He says the cue fans rooted so strenuously for Carney that his (De Oro’s) game was im- paired. De Oro brings back word that Carney probably will elect to play John Horgan, the St. Louis man, in Frisco for the three- cushion championship. Carney is a native of Denver, but has been living on the coast for several years and will likely play the rext championship match out there. The Hicrgan-Carney match will be played early in arch.

COLLEGIANS AND A. A. U. LIKELY HAVE SPLIT CHICAGO, Jan, 80.—If college atnietes are allowed to play on semi-professiona!l baseball teams even without remuneration, it has been pointed out, the practice will lead to a break between the colleges of the West and the Amateur Athletic Union. Ac coréing to the rules of the A. A. U., an athlete becomes a professional whenever he competes with professionals, for pay or not. The new conference rules will work no hardship on the student while in college, further than that he will not be allowed to compete in meets sanctioned by the A. A. VU. After graduation, however. the player wil! be barred from competing with any atrictly amateur club teams. Everett C. Brown. president of the Central Amateur Athletic Union, said that if he were asked to vote on the eligibility of a man who has competed with professionals, regardiess of whether he received money, he would have to decide against him.

We have tried out the Dixie and figure that tin a race she is good for about forty-three miles. That is not fast enough. Perhaps some new beats will go faster. and the Frenchman with his 1300-horsepower rmotors may do wonders. but I know what my boat can do and am willing to back her against the world.’’ e- YALE SQUAD STARTS FOOTBALL PRACTICE NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 30.--Fifty-five candigates are out for winter football prac- tice at Yale.

LLOYD. If the Browns hope to climb out of the cellar this season they will have to improve greatly as base pilferers as well as bat and field in improved fash- fon over the 1911 showing. It surely must cause Manager Wallace pain to peruse the figures of the sack work of his team last season. The Browns stole less bases than any other team a year ago. Their total—126— was by far less than any other aggre- gation. The Boston Red Sox, who were next to the Browns as drones on the bases, put together a total of 192 piifers, 66 more than the Wallacean tribe. Inci- dentally, the Tigers, who led the League in this respect. stole 277. They were fol- lo ‘ed by the New York Yankees, who totaled 266. That all means that Mr. Wallace will have to use a barrel stave or hire Tom Aitken or someone else to coach his Browns t« run. The stave might cause them to be spryer once they got on the sacks. Those who know anything about running claim that Aitken, or a man of his ability, can greatly improve the speed of the eighth placers. Players Have the Speed. The"speed is really there. But some- thing is radically wrong when men like Jimmy Austin and Bert Shotton are only able to steal 26 bases when labor- ing almost every day of the champlion- ship. season. They either do not know how to steal or do not take enough chances, once they find themselves safe- ly located on the bags. Austin and Shotton, steals, led the Browns’ swipers. Bill Hogan was next fn line. He appropri- ated 18 cushions. To some that probably will listen like a pretty good total for Hogan. But there is a mistaken itlea about Hogan’s speed. Despite the fact that he walks and seems to run flat- footed, he is very fleet. He was always considered that: way out on the Coast, and also under Connie Mack’: charge. Certainly he is the speediest man of the Browns’ squad over any distance. But Bill's peculiar gait leads many to believe that he is sloven of foot. each with 2 Schweitzer Pilfered a Dosen. Schweitzer is next in line tn the thieving way. He purloined 12 bags in 76 games, Still, Al wasn’t really considered a regular, but didn't do so bad, considering the fact that he is tnvariably ailing with prop trouble. It is when one giances over the base work of some of the other Brownies. though, that the tall-enders prove thet they are not there when it comes t' stealing. The Browns’ catching department—Clarke, S&Ste- phens and Krichell—pllfered all of five sacks during the 1%-game season. These thefts were divided as follows: Krichell 2, Clarke 2, Stephens 1. Then Taporte, although playing almost daily, gathered only a total of four bases, while Eddie Hallihan, performing in 52 games, swiped but a quartet of eacks. The aged Wallace did even better than many of his men, totaling eight bases. Will Make Men Work. Wallace will probably adopt a different system of coaching his men tin their base work this season. He devoted little atten- tion to that end of the game in Hot Springs last March. But this year it wouldn't be surprising if Manager Bob requires his men to don thelr pads dally and take a session in a sand pit. Two seasons ago most of the Cardinals had the skin rubbed off their hips and thighs from sliding on a rock bed infield on the Little Rock diamond. The same thing goes for the New York Giants every spring, and it is probable that Manager Wallace will dig up the dirt leading Into one of the bases to enable his men to practice sliding li.to the bags. They certainly need improve- ment in that department. gE e Qe BENDER’S LAST DAY AS ST. L. U. COACH Johnny Bender will serve his last day as coach at 8t. Louls U. Wednesday, his present contract expires. As yet no compromise has been reached between the ecach and the untverstty authorities and the students are beginning to seriously doubt that Bender will return. A meeting of the St. Leoule U athietic board has been called for Wednesday evening, but Bender has not been invited to attend. Arrangements are being made for an elab- orate football sechédule at the Bliliifken schoo! next fall. Efforts will be made to land Car- ligie, Michigan, Illinole and Indiana as the big attractions. Negotiations now are on with these schools, but as yet only the Iiii- nois game is assured.
