Lamb, Superintendent of the New York Asy- lum for the Criminal Insane, Mattea- wan, Was read to the jury. He said the Claimant, who was admitted to the asylum as “A. J. White,’ told him pe Was a Civil War veteran. Kimmel was born in 1867, two years after the Civil War ended. order session. case field Letters of Claimant Read. Letters written by the claimant. while in Matteawan, to Bacon and to Kimmetl’s mother, which were in evt- dence at the former trial, were read. The first letter to Bacon, written Aug. 27, 1906, was signed °A. J. White pro tem." The letters were badly spelled and were in a scrawl- ing hand which, it has been stated, has. little resemblance to Kimmel’s writing. George FE. Kendall, manager of the St. Louis Club, testified to his acquain- tance with Kimmel as a boy and a young man, and said he saw the Claimant in court a few days ago, sit- ting within a few feet of him, and could find oo resemblance to Kimmel. When he spoke of the claimant as having biue eyes, O'Bryan asked him to define the word “blue,” but Judge Amidon ruled that such a definition should not be required. O'’Rryan, ques- tioning a witnesa on the same point Monday, offered the assertion § tha: only a fish has blue eyes, i Women Are The testimony given by Dr. Samuel wv.

en and a number of school children there to study the case were asked to leave the courtroom. Dr. Vanderpool, who is medical di- rector for the New York Life insurance Co., testified that he examined the Kim- mel claimant in the Matteawan Asylum May 18, 1905, and found him suffering from a constitutional disease which, had impaired his mind. The claimant, he said, could not co- ordinate. By this the physician said he meant that he could not stand with his closed without swaying for- ward and he could not bring the ends of his fingers together with his eves closed. Says He Has Aphasia. Dr. Vanderpool said the claimant was aphasic. “For instance,’’ he he wanted his shoes he called for his trousers.’’ The physician judged that the claimant was 40 years old in 1905, but he looked much older. This, Said, was the effect of the disease. Outside the courtroom a few minutes before the hearing began, Attorney seneca N. Taylor of the plaintiff's coun- sel got into an argument with Hugh McIntosh, chief counse] for the insur? ance company, over tiie attitude of Mrs. Estelle Kimmel and her daugthiter in the suit. Taylor praised Mrs. Kimmel for her patient toil in bringing up her fam- ily, whom, he said, supported at one time by needlework. Atte:rney Ba- con joined in the argument, which was oy Taylor’s avowal that be did not wish to talk to McIntosn further. Snyder Leaves Town, R. M. Snyder Jr., who came here as a Witness for the defense, returned to Kansas City Monday night, after seeing that his testimony was not likely to be needed for a week. He is expected to testify that his father, deceased, was in New York at the time when, ac- cording to John B. Swinney’s story, he was .on his way from Kansas City to Oregon with Kimmel, Swinney and J. A. Johnson. Swinney says the four went to the coast to hunt buried gold and that Johnson murdered Kimmel and was ORGANIZED LABOR Declares War Upon the White Plague Organized labor is beginning to make systematic warfare upon the great white plague, tuberculosis, which carries off more of our population than any other disease. Better hous- ing conditions, cleanliness, fresh air and sanitary workshops are demanded as the means of preventing the spread of this malady. It is generally acknowledged by the medical profession that tuberculosis in its advanced stages is not curable by medication.

The Chinese newspapers, ed in red ink the whieh print- three edicts proclaim- ing abdication, the maintenance of peace, comment on the wonderful] achievement in quickly establishing a republic with a small loss of life. The three edicts announcing the abdi- cation ha-e been posted in many parts of the city. There was practically no rioting, the Manchu troops accepting the orders with calmness.

San treciabiane Chinese Organize for New Republic. SAN FRANCISCO.- Feb. 13.—The Chi- nese Republican Association, hastily or- fanized by prominent Chinese for the purpose of representing the new gov ernment in this country and incidental- ly to put an end to the murderous out- Lreaks of highbinders, induced the war- ring tongs to agrce to meet today and sign an armistice. The republican as- sociation was chosen to replace Kwok Min, tne bureau designated by EFresident Sun Yat Sen to represent the republic in the United States. Perma- rent organization is to be effected in March. Tong King Chong, a well known editor and lecturer, probably’ will be elected president and Sing Fat, one of the wealthiest merchants in the coun- try, treasurer. The new organization probably will be the most powerful Chinese society in America, as it will include in its mem- bership all the Chinese Free Masons, who congtitute 9) per cent of the Chi- nese in America.

SMITH’ REPORT RE IS OF NO ‘LUE, SAYS HILL ° ‘« iells House Committee Cor- oration Bureau Statement Isn’t Worth Reading. / |

S NOTHING TO CONCEAL

Declares His Hands Are Clean and Pictures Self in Role of Philanthropist.

ByrAssociated Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—James J. Hill told the Stanley Steel Trust Investigat- ing. Committee today that the report of the Bureau of Corporations compiled by Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith, on ore values, Was not worth reading. He gaid he had gone over part of it and concluded it was of no value. “Mr. Smith’s report may have some facts,’ said Mr. Hill, “‘but his conclu- gions are so far from mine that I could not finish reading it.”’ Representative Gardner of Massachu- setts urged Mr. Hill to read the report thoroughly and then give the committee the value of his opinion. “I’m not an expert,”’ said Hill, ‘‘and neither have I the time to study the re- port carefully. My opinion would not ald the committee much.’’ “There was a time years ago,’’ he continued, “‘when those entire lands would not have brought $1,000,000. That would be no criterion for establishing its«present value. Fifteen years ago Mé#.. Smith had figures fixing the mini- ; rate of 25 cents a ton.’ dill said he knew that some people ‘had. paid as high as 6 cents a ton on | of€ leases since the steel corporation \went into the field. Resuming the examination of Hill, Chairman Stanley asked about the Great Northern Ore Co., organized by the Lake Superior company, limited. “it was a trust company, pure and fimple,”’ said Hill. ‘“‘The ore lands were owned by different companies and the trustees held the stéck for the benefit of the shareh olders of the Great North- ern Rallroad.’ Stocks Don't Bother Hill. “What was the capitalization of the Great Northern Railroad at that time?” “One hundred and fifty million dol- lar?.”’ “What proportion was and the other Hills?’ yt held 100,000 shares. 2000 or 3000, I think.”’ _ WMill was asked if the railroad stocks at that time sold at 117. : eyes they sold as high as 260," he said. “Within sixty days after the an- nounpcement of the ore purchase, 4id not Great Northern stocks sell for 380, a rise from 117?’ the chairman asked. “I don’t recollect,’’ said the witness. “I don’t bother myself much about . Stocks and bonds—they are more or less Controlled by local conditions.’ “Mr. Hill, can you buy ore today? Is all of it pre-empted?” “Nearly all the ore on the American continent is owned today by peoples. it’s had to find new ore—I've tried it. “I think the United States Steel Cor- ' Peration with its $1,500,000,000 stocks and ‘bonds would be anxious to have ore in Teserve to last forty or fifty years,”’ held by you My sons had conn | SINGERS IN CAST OF “PINAFORE” ST.

Tuesday, then hur- ried to a frame building in the rear, Yan up an outer flight of stairs and awakened Henry and Casper Mass- mann, father and son, who run a Cigar factory and sleep there. The fire, which is belleved to have started from a flue, destroyed the store and the two rooms oecupied by the Carls, scorched the cigar factory and partly burned the home of Mrs. Maude Blaisdell, 3439A William place. The loss is estimated at $s000. BACK HURT SUFFERED TERRIBLY Miss Gothrum Endures Ex- treme Pain for Long Time. School Teacher’s Advice Finally Brings Relief. “For over a year,” writes Miss Myrtle Gothrum of this place, “I suf- fered with terrible pains in my limbs. My back hurt, and my head ached nearly all the time. “T had a sallow complexion and my face was covered with pimples. Our family doctor treated me,but he only gave me temporary relief. “I was certainly in bad health and suffered greatly with womanly trou- bles. My schoo] teacher advised me to take Cardui, and I began to take it at once. “IT took two bottles in all and was cured, “My sister-in-law also used your remedy and was greatly benefited. “T feel it my duty to recommend Cardui and I shall always praise the medicine to sick and suffering wom- en.”—Newburg, Ala. No sick or ailing woman can fail to be interested in the experience of others similarly afflicted. If you are weak, tired, worn out or suffer from any of the pains pe-

eculiar to sick women, such as head- ache, backache or other symptoms of womanly trouble, you are urged to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic.

URKE IN “THE RUNAWAY” CUDDLING DELIGnT She Inveigles a Big Olympic Au- dience Into ‘‘Petting’’ Her With Melting Hearts. COLETTE HER BEST ROLE

New Comedy Tells Charming Story of Innocent Love and Is Excellently Played.

By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. N “The Runaway” at the Olympic on Monday evening Miss Billie Burke so overwhelmingly endeared herself anew to the big and brilliant first-night installment of her St. Louis public that I am now more than ever confirmed in my belief as to her being the best-loved comedienne on the Amer ican stage. Nearly six months ago, when I saw this play in New York and duly re- viewed it for the Post-Dispatch’s read- ers, I told you of the affectionate ac- claim witb which its delightful little star was hailed by her metropolitan audiences. East or West, it seems to be all the same, so far as Billie Burke is concerned. She has cuddled herself snugly into what seems to be the very warmest spot in the American play- goer’s heart. The fun of it was, too, that Billie Iurke's conquest comes now from what Uncle Sam’s gunners would call a skillful employment of ricochet fire in hot action. Ostensibly, her Colette is aiming exclusively at the heart of a certain middle-aged artist of Paris -who had strolled into her native Breton country to paint its quaintly colorful Scenes for his own further glory and with little more than a laughing thought of the gifted and extremely pretty young girl whom there he chanced to meet. She is thinking of this Maurice De- lonay on the stage, not of the people confronting her across the footlights, and everyone of her naively irresisti- ble little wiles of coquetry was leveled at him, with all the concentration pos- sible to a maiden who had been com- pletely swallowed up in love before she had time to realize what was happen- ing to her. It was a. bit piteous, too, because, at the first, there was little likelihood of the great Maurice Delonay, ‘ world-fa- mous French painter and member of the Institute, really returning Colette's sweet love. She amused him, she interested him, she herself had the vital spark of ar- tistic inspiration in her pure soul, she was a lonely child, somewhat unduly disciplined by her two spinster aunts— Delonay found much entertainment in her good comradeship. But no one could have been more amazed than he, or for a time, more sincerely dismayed, than when cud- dling little Colette suddenly appeared in his own studio quarters in Paris, a runaway from her Breton home to es- cape au odious marriage, entreating his protection, her thought as innocent as a child’s, and, therefore, because Maurice Delonay was a gallant gentleman, this Same innocence protecting her as though she were but a child. Nevertheless, with all her childlike- ness, Colette was a woman—and sud- denly Delonay himself woke to a reali- zation of this truth, at the same time, too, realizing that he, a grizzled Bohe- mian cf 50, had been fool enough to fall in love with this dimpled thing of 18. I do not remember ever having seen a house more keenly touched with ten- derness than was that of Monday night when Colette, doubting that the illus- trious Delonay was offering to marry her through any feeling more serious than the impulse of protective pity, and Delonay, doubting that Colette was ac- cepting him through any feeling more serious than that of gratitude for his goodness, each suddenly discovered the other’s great and genuine love. It was a fine scene, finely conceived and finely acted, and Billie Burke anu C. Aubrey Smith alike justly shared in the long-continued applause that fol- lowed tne curtain’s fall. In addition to the admirable Delonay played by Mr. Smith, the work of the company as a whole was excellent. Especially good was that of Edwin Ni- cander in the character-comedy role of Alcide Pingo, the would-be Breton hus- band of Colette; of Emily Wakeman and Isabel West, as her spinster aunts: of George Howell as Simoneau, William Raymond as Pierre Berton, Morton Sel- ten as Vignaux, comrades of Delonay, and of Alice Gale as Leonie and Jane Evans as Nancy Vallier. The play's scenic presentation was faithfully picturesque. LAMBARDI OPERA c Oo | y SINGS “FAUST pr AnY The Lambardi Opera Comunity sang Gounod’s ‘‘Faust’’ at the Shubert The- ater Monday evening in a manner up to the standard of all their earlier produc- tions in St. Louis, the big choruses and orchestral numbers being especially well given. Ida Fassio was a very pleasing Marguerite, singing the Jewe) Song with much beauty and ease, and the prison scene very effectively. Salvatore Sciaretti’'s voice as Faust at times seemed a trifle light in com- parison with the-robust voices of Sabel- lico as Menhisto and Michele Giovac- chint as Valentine, his sweeter lyric notes being almost drowned by the stronger voices. The popular soldiers’ chorus had to be repeated as an encore, and the orchestra, as in most of the other performances, was one of the chief delights.

MANDARIN TURBAN COMES WITH NEW CHINESE REPUBLIC Cardinal Straws, Also Freak, Will Appear Soon, Says Man Mil- liner on Visit. T doesn’t seem possible that the for-

mation of a republic in China would have anything to do with women’s millinery in this country. But it has. The designers, as well as the general public, have had their eyes turned to- ward the Celestial realm and already have begun making Mandarin turbans. This is the information brought by Ora Cne, ‘“‘man milliner’’ and expert on styles. He comes to this city every year about this time and conducts a school in millinery on ‘‘Milliner’s Row.,’’ among the wholesale houses of Wash- ington avenue. He has been designing costumes and hats for 24 years, and his annual lessons are sought eagerly by the hundreds of young women from the smaller towns of the State who come here to study the styles. The creation of three new cardinals in America has had its influence on the country millinery, as has the creation of a new Chinese republic, according to (ne. It has resulted in the making of cardinal straws. Cne says the hats were seen on Broadway, in New York, a few days following the return of Cardinal l'arley from Rome, and are expected to reach here soon. NE pointed out these two styles as an example of the tendency of American designers to create freak hats. Unlike Parisians, he says, American women prefer freakish modes to the artistic. He accounts for the Durban turbans by the recent visit of the King .and Queen of England to Indla and the Egyptian bonnets because of the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Fife to Egypt. “The American designer nowadays reads the daily papers and if he finds anything that attracts the public eye he immediately sets about to create a freak hat and names it after the sub- ject before the public,”” said Cne. “And because it is freakish the womep will wear it. “The American woman learned to wear the hat for the occa- sion. She will wear the same hat for shopping purposes that she wears to the races or while out boating. It is so aifferent abroad. You almost can tell the station of a woman by her millin- has not ery: “But over here they most anything that is put before them ir a freak style. The designers, how- ever, can take credit for accomplishing something in six months that doctors were unable to do in 10 years. The de- rs caused the women to quit wear- rats and other foolish things air by creating smaller hats.’ will wear al- s:gne ing puffs, in their he ——

Theodore Roosevelt today, ‘“‘and am giv- ing it my careful consideration. I shall reply to it within a short time, prob- able within a week. Until that time I can say nothing on the subject.’’ Col. Roosevelt declined to make*public the contents of the letter or the name of its bearer. It is reported, however the letter was brought to New York na former United States District Attorney Sims of Chicago. Seth Bullock, who was appointed Unit- ed States Marshal of South Dakota by Roosevelt when he was President, called on Col, Roosevelt today. Bullock said that he had come to New York from Deadwood to invite Col. Roosevelt to hunt buffalo on a new preserve in South Dakota. Col. D. S. Collier of San Diego, Cal., called on Col. Roosevelt to urge him to declare himself. Col. that have re- Collier ¢aid he would place before Roosevelt the re- sult of an investigation of political sen- timent which he had made in 2% states Col.

Peres, near Carondelet Park, has been re- ported to scout headquarters as an example worthy, of emulation. by other boys. The boy hero lives at 6422 Michigan avenue. The dog accompanied the troop on a hike last Saturday, and venturing on thin ice, went through, The boy crept out on the cracking -ice, grasped the dog’s paw and clung to him while the scout master on the bank reached out a stick and drew boy and dog back to shore. The dog would have drowned but for the boy, as one of his legs was recently bro- ken. The river is deep and the current swift at the scene of the rescue.

If the Powder Trust, upon which the United States is dependent in emergency, through the neglect of the War Department to make its own explosives, is Suppfying much of this nonexplo- sive powder, we hope it will not be carelessly mixed with the explosive kind, in case of war. The nonexplosive brand may be safer to leave lying around where the children are likely to play with it. Doubtless it was intended for celebrat- ing a Sane Fourth of July this year. But it wouldn’t be very valuable against an enemy. Really, a Powder Trust that is paid double prices for its goods ought to be more careful. Incidentally, we haven’t much liking for the type of powder magazine that any passing spark can ignite. Powder that.costs the taxpayers two or three times as much as it should cost is far tco precious to be kept so carelessly.

Monogamy her husband's fatal flaw, she scorned to yield her freedom to the law, but claimed the right to grant her favor where her soul its full affinity might share. Then, with her lover-poet, spurned the crowd; sufficient to itself their love avowed; drew down the curtain, barreu we rabble’s roar, to dwell in love forever-ever-more. When Meta and her poet barred the gates that shut the common clay from higher states, the soulmate clique believed them there to stay, what time we put our bets on common clay. Now, sad to tell, the gates stand open wide, soul-love no longer fondly dwells inside. Still sylvan charms bedeck its late retreat, but soul-love’s gone to get a bite to eat. Infinity of peace began to irk, as s60n as someone had to go to work. True love, that makés and moves our world, fears not the hunger, toil and stress so oft its lot; but toils and hungers, hopes and _ strives through years, and thrives on love and makes a mock of fears. eee —-— For some weeks Chicago physicians have been resuscitating persons apparently dead from as- phyxiation.

Dr. Joseph Lister, whose death is announced in London, insisted himself that all he did was to bring surgery into conformity with Pasteur’s dis- ecveries. But to formulate the law of surgery from those discoveries was itself a great achieve- ment. To apply the law involved vast experi- mentation alrected by the keenest intelligence. Discovery at this late date of a new and ap- proved antiseptic is still a cause for congratula- tion. Dr. Lister had to begin with strong car- bolic acid, often impure. He is the father of that miraculous surgery of the present which marked Zreater advance in 40 than in the preceding 4000 years. Every person who has passed through an appendicular or other abdominal operation. who has, escaped distress or blemish through trans- planting of tissues, who has found relief throur 4 any of the scores of major or minor operations which a few years ago would have been prohib- ited, not because of their difficulty but because of their incidental risks, is a direct beneficiary of Dr. Lister. The discovery of anesthetics mastered pain and gave surgery a mere deliberate and enor- mously improved technique.

Judge Allen’s decision invalidating the ordi- nance for the regulation of electricity rates may be good law and good English, but it illustrates the difficulty of making the will of the people effective through legislation. Because the Cooper act enabled cities to fix the charges of public utility corporations and the ordinance regulated the rates by designating only the maximum price, the measure is nullified by the Court. Although the words “fix” and “reg- ulate” are not synonyms, they have kindred mean- ings. To adjust comes within the definition of both. There is fair ground for the opinion that the power to fix specific rates would include the power to fix a maximum limit. There is no doubt about the purpose of the Legislature in passing the Cooper enabling act. I: was intended to empower municipal legisla- tures to protect consumers against unjust charges by public utility corporations. The validity of that act is not impaired by the decision. There is no doubt about the intent of the regulating ordinance. It is clearly within the purpose and spirit of the act. But its terms were not within the precise. definition of the wording of the en- abling act, nor is it practical to make it so. The result is that the popular will embodied, after a prolonged struggle, in a legislative act, is defeat- ed by a technicality. The only effect of the decision is delay, that flaw in our system of legislation and legal pro- cedure which has been a prolific source of pop- ular discontent and revolutionary agitation. If the Supreme Court does not reverse the decision, if the Municipal Assembly cannot find a practical method of utilizing the State law, the State Leg- islature will be compelled to pass another act. After long and costly procedure, the people will find a way to control the public utility corpora- tions, if they do not take the bull by the horns and seize the public utilities. There is a limit to popular patience with legislative tinkering and judicial hair splitting. Mr. Roosevelt says the money trust is fighting ‘him, having reference, no doubt, to the conduct o: Mark Hanna’s son, George W. Perkins and the Steel Trust magnates. OO — FOR THE PEOPLE.

In the quaint cities of Central and Southern China which preserve many of the features of Evrope’s medievalism, it may be that night watch- men cried last night the Chinese equivalent of “Two o'clock and Cornwallis has surrendered.” The capitulation of the Manchu regency on Lin- ecln’s birthday removed the last great obstacle to an experiment in government ‘n many ways more interesting and significant than ours. Li Hung Chang, while visiting in the United States, remarked somewhat contemptuously that his country had been a republic in an early stage of its governmental evolution, probably prior to the Roman republic. Its return to that form is made under circumstances justifying an expecta- tion of success. Internal conditions and the atti- tude of the masses make China’s future problem vastly ‘less complicated and difficult than that of Japan when it began to plan, 40 years ago, for its advance to a place of power among the nations: The self-restraint and capacity shown by the re- publican leaders in their military campaign have been continued during the negotiations under truce for ending reactionary resistance without further resort to force. This tremendous revolution among the _ race which has been tne dominant race of its conti- nent appeals strongly to the imagination of the world. The Scandinavians were the people among whom paganism lingered for centuries after other peoples of Europe had given it up, but they came to be numbered among the aptest and most creditable disciples of Christianity. Despotism has lingered long in Asia, but it may be that the finest exemplifications of the high ideals of popu- lar sovereignity will be found there in the future. The sleeping giant is awake at last. -An Asia with the greatest republic known to history may re-enact the long past glories of Asia’s golden age.

The Moss comaiittee of the lower house of Con- gress is investigating the exploitation of the Florida Everglades, through which millions of dollars are safd°f6° have been harvested by pro- moters within the past three vears. Among other evidence, the Committee has been told that: Maj. J. O. Wright, engineer U. S. A., in 1909 made a report to the Department of Agriculture, ‘rom which extracts were advertised by swamp- land boomers as the basis of selling cheap land for millions of dollars. Engineers Elliott and Morehouse of the U. §S. Reclamation Service revised Wright's report. Secretary Wilson suppressed the revised report, which might have halted the operations of the land boomers. Elliott and Moore were discharged from the service. Wright is now chief engineer of an Ever- glades drainage project. Secretary Wilson, when asked why the revised report was pigeonholed, said. | : I am not running this office for the pro- tection of fools who do not know any better than to buy something they never saw and do not know anything about. Secretary Wilson may not feel called upon to “protect foois.” But what is his duty when re- ports from his department make people “fools?” Does he deem it his duty to let those who have Be ss i “ i o> RRL ¢ Te i Re oT a Bae ee A * SRT Bie rei ane Se eae ee been fooled through an official document of his| office be plundered by boosters of Florida swamps?

Recently I graduated from high school, There I was the big noise and I felt my importance, Today . I had a liking for a certain kind of business. I applied for a position in that line. I advertised. I applied for a different kind of work. Result—nothing. Now, I am not discouraged. I know that soon I will get something to my liking. But I do want to say something about the unpractical side of our educational system, and I would like to help those who will follow. Men in business nowadays want experienced people. We go to school to get this experience and education. Why not give practical experi- ence? I can see where Latin, geometry and botany will do one good by helping him to think. But I can also see where a study of banking, of advertising and of salesmanship will do that in- dividual more good, and what is more, will help him to earn his bread, Isn’t it about time our city leaders say some- tl.ing about this, and change an antiquated course of studies to a more modern one? Let the per- son who is going to be a professional man study along his line, and let the fellow who is going into business be trained in his way too. ONE WHO KNOWS. Captial Punishment.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, The nation breathed a sigh of relief when Roose- velt’s term ended—in confusion and panic. The ex- President has many winning ways and we confess to a suppressed admiration for his unique enthusi- asm. If ‘we were obliged to enter into a fight we would like to go in with the Colonel; His Honor, the President, is too large; nevertheless, no more wise, dignified, sensible, safe and prudent man has ever occupied the presidential chair than Taft, but we confront the problem that quite a number of the grand old party favor Roosevelt over Taft, a man of deep sincerity, honesty of purpose and admirable poise. Who can explain this variable- ness of American temper? Have the elements that went originally to make what was indeed a grand old party disappeared? Had we not better think twice, consider well, before we turn aside a man of President Taft’s mold to gratify the pre- vailing, and we trust temporary, craze for sensa- tion? E. S. WELLS. Glen More, N. J. Encourages Falsehood. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you kindly tell me why they ask your age when getting a marriage license? I think all that should be necessary would be to swear that you were over 18 or 21. How much over those ages would not make any difference. The question asked should be, Are you over 18 or 21? Often- times it is not very pleasant to acknowledge your age, especially a lady, and the question causes many falsehoods, JOHN WILSON. Encourage Your Salesmen. In the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There is a tendency nowadays to expect too much from a new man, especially true in the sell- ing capacity. I admit that I also had made-:this error with some of my men who I now am sure would have “made good;” until Miss Experience, the old re- liable teacher, showed me how. Do not expect a conscientious man to “set the world afire’ at a jump. A salesman is an iInvest- ment, one that may not even pay for perhaps a vear. But if you have the man who 1s anxious himself. one that has youthful ambition, hold him m\ dear Mr. Employer, hold him. He's a good in- vestment. More than that, encourage him. En- couragement puts the mind in the positive state, consequently gives the confidence that counts. I have a man who couldn’t sell a bill of. zoods for eight months, he’s a good talker, could only make friends, now he’s “coming strong.” TI have only to add, never nag your men; frequent chang?s don’t pay because every man selling new products for a new firm must begin anew. Eskimo Medical Custom. Ts the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Eskimo gives his doctor a fee as soon as he comes. If the patient recovers, it is kept; if not, it is returned. Why not amend our unjust medical law by allowing drugless healers an Es- kimo practice? PEACE, Higher Water Rates. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Dictator of the Water Department is again in the limelight with his threatened tax on water for the family wash. Mr. Burton's ingenuity {fn planning new reasons for raising the water rates is working overtime. No doubt we hitherto good Republicans will have to wait until the next election to demonstrate, !n a manner that will be understood, that we are sick and disgusted with the “monkeying” that has been golng on with the Water Department for the last year. Whom does Mr. Burton want the increase of income for? The Water Department does not need ft. That fact has been proved over and over again. Who owns and maintains the Waterworks? Messrs. Burton, Wall et. al., or the taxpayers of this city?

In Chicago and St. Louls the Columbian League will be forced to frame its schedule in conflict with elther the American or National League. The new league will not operate under the laws of organized baseball. For that reason it will be technically known at an outlaw league. However, the pro- moters prefer to be dubbed the “‘in- vaders.”” They propose to respect major Jeague contracts. They will not ask any ~ big league player to jump his contract, but they will not respect the reserve clause of the major leagues, a phase which they claim is unconstitutional. By rejecting the reserve clause the new league is attacking the very vitals of or-

laws that protect the butcher, the baker or the candlestick maker. The new league officials claim the re- serve clause is another species of peonage.

Each Club Plans to Sign Major Leaguers for Backbone of Team ? FEW of the promoters announced A their ihtentions of signing big league stars. Others prefer to “crawl be- fore they walk.” However, all have agreed that each club shall be bolstered with at least a few big leaguers. William Niesen, who has the Chicago (Columbian League) franchise, announced Monday evening before he left for home: “Well, I hustle down to the Congress Hotel Wednesday and sign up my players.’ The American League meeting will be held at the Congress Hotel in Chicago, and Neilsen probably intends to rope up a few A. L, players. The St. Louls club has not announced its policy in regards to signing players. However, Mr, Stifel has stated that he wili make every effort to get a team that will be truly representative of St. Louls. In this regard, Mr. Stifel said: “Tl want as many &t. {.ouis boys on my team as I can get. if I can sign only four the first year, then we'll do with them, However, the second year | want to increase this number until eventually 1 hope to have 4 major league ball club composed only of players who were born and reared in this city.

Pearce, who represents the louisville club, has an objection to make t the new league being called ‘‘Out- laws.”’ “‘We are not bandits,’’ declared Mr. Fearce, ‘but we are jnvaders. We will not tamper with signed players, but any W ho are not signed will be offered inducements to ecme with us.”’ Mr. Pearce divulged the fact that Del Toward, who last year managed the Louis- ville (American Association) club, probably would be his manager this summer. He also stated that a few players of the Louisville team. who have not yet signed their con(racts would be taken into the Columbian League feid, J.C, Masker of Kansas City was the leas! talkative of any man at the meeting Mon- day.

Daniels Injured; St. Louis A. C. Seeks New Bouts Local Club’s Management Hunt- ing Capable Star to Box Saylor.

Matchmaker Walter Lavine of the St. Louis Athletic Club, received a wire Tuesday morning announcing that Freddie Daniels of St. Josepn, who was scheduled to box here Feb. 15 against Milburn Saylor of In- dianapolis, would be unable to ap- pear. In training, Monday, Daniels broke two tendons in his right foot, while doing a road stunt, and as a result cannot compete. Daniels also had a date with Young Gordon at |'Quincy, one week from Thursday, The accident puts it up to the club to find a capable boxer to meet Say- lor on a day’s notice. As Saylor is a hard proposition the task is not a light one. Harry Trendall is in train- ing here and Leo Kelly, but both Arrangements for a substitute match will be closed today, Bobby Robideau, who boxes Benny McGovern in the semi-windup next Thursday night will arrive in St. Louis from Memphis Wednesday to finish his training here. » wr

SCAR MATHEW BATTLING NEL- SON admits it! Oscar Mathew etc. may have secretly felt that, for some time, his ability to recover from inhuman punishment was not quite what it once was; but he never mentioned the fact. Or, if he, did, he must have sworn the re- cCipient of the information to secrecy. In fact, Bat’s previous utterances have indicated blind unbelief in Father Time’s ability to hand him a punch— until Monday. Then, in the course of a casual con- versation, the mischief slipped past. “I feel fine, after my rest at Hot Springs,’’ was the way Bat began, ‘‘and * could go some if I had a hard match right now. Of course I DON’T SAY I AM AS GOOD AS I EVER WAS; but if I have lost physically I have made up in experience.”’ And Nelson looked his hearer in the e,e with never a bat—nothing intended —to indicate whether he was kidding or in earnest. Nelson is mostly in earnest, “ . * SIXTEEN YEARS OF PUNISHMENT. ELSON, in fact, looks as rugged and tough as a piece of newly- tanned leather. Nothing in his face, ex- cept perhaps the cauliflower ears, marked where they have stopped many hundreds of hostile jabs and swings, in- dicates. that the stamina and courage of 16 years ago are not still there. Nelson has been scrapping profession- ally for 16 seasons. This is longer than any other pugilist actively in the ring today. His record shows that his first fight was in 1896. Just to illustrate that 16 years of the roughest sort of treat- ment have not materially damaged this wonderful engine, Nelson a short time ago completed 17 fights ‘in 14 weeks. Having rested, he will begin again on Feb. 28 at Canton, O., another campaign. On the date named Nelson is scheduled to box Sam Trott. * 6 * OVERCAME MANY HANDICAPS, ELSON is remarkable in other re- N spects than his constitution. He is a superman in more ways than one. He has probably conquered more obsta- cles in his career than any half dozen champions that ever lived. Nelson, to begin with, overcame great natural obstacles in becoming a fighter. A bad left arm was one. On defense he could not raise it above his shoulder, ‘eaving the left side of his face exposed to the blows of his opponent. And it shows the effects, likewise, in a pitiful- ly puffed and messed up ear. Further, Nelson never acquired any great cleverness, partly on account of the arm, For years, when the six-round game was flourishing, Bat eked out a bare ex- iatence in preliminaries around Chicago, getting punched and outpointed with regu- larity enough to discourage the gamest. Rut Bat stuck to it, took hig beating, eradually finding out that all the lacings he received could not hurt him. When he went into the distance events he discovered his forte. and at last he came into his own. Most men would have sickened and tired under the punishment long before the consummation, oe ae EVERY nr HAD A MEAN- ELSON, too, had very little education. He had to have a manager, and Biliy Nolan came along at the right time and took up Bat. He taught him many things, chiefly how toe bluff wit lepeners in your hané. servation have developed his powers of expression to a point about given the

| WRAY'S COLUMN Gaining for his ‘end,.”’ and, best of all, how to work a typewriter. Result: Another obstacle—the saving of @ manager's percentage—was overcome. Nelson dismissed Nolan bag and baggage and saved at least $5000 a year thereby. ° . A “LITERARY MAN” NOW, Y persistence and without any educa- tion other given him, Nelson finally whero he can write an fnteresting account of a contest, of his own history, an analysis of brother fighters’ abilities or shortcomings and, in brief, he ‘‘arrived’’ as his own press agent, saving another portion that other- wise might have drifted from him. During the barnstorming trip Nelson feught 17 bouts and collected $20,000 or cver. Only two or three of these were of ‘‘big league’’ caliber, many of them being bush scraps. In the latter instances here’s what Bat looked after, and from it you may note what he saved: Was his own trainer. Was his own manager. Was his own press agent. Ccunted all the money after the fighte himself to see that his share was not cut. Reported his fights for a Cincinnati and two other papers. HE’S STILL DURABLE SAW Nelson in action in his last contest, before he went to Hot Springs to rest up ‘He opposed a foul-fighting Turk named Tommy O'Rourke, who roughed Bat rather savagely at times, The contest would have average fighter all he want ed for the evening. But not Nelson, After the show Bat changed his clothes. Then he went over the gate receipts with the promoters and figured his share to a hair (and complimentaries,had to be carefully explained, too). After ‘that he tceok an hour of two to write his press dispatches. When he had finished these he was still aggressively hunting for some other task. The only one he found was in bawling out the referee; so he took a try at that, too. Yes, Bat may not be as good as he once was: but it isn’t safe yet to presume any liberties. ZY

Cravath Should Help Land Flag for Dooin’s Men

St. Louis Boy, Now Big League Umpire, Figures Former Mil- ler a Wonderful Hitter. Garnett Bush. the St. Louis boy, who has been appointed to Ban Johnson’s staff of umpires for the coming sea- Son, returned to the city this week to spend a few days. He will later re- turn to Davenport, Io., where he has been spending the winter. Bush, although still on tha safe side of 30 years, has had éxperience.in sev- eral leagues in the Middle and South- west. His start was in the Wisconsin State League, at that time headed by John T. Powers, now president of the Columbian Outlaw League, magnates of which were in session here Monday. Bush has served in the Southern League, Texas League and the Ameri- can Association. He finished out the season with the latter organization two years ago, and last year was with the Texas League. Bush is loud and long in praise of ‘‘Brick” Owens, an American Association indicator handler, who graduated to the big League this year. “Owens is nervy, accurate and absolutely fair. They had him on the suspended list at one time under charges of betting on games. The charges were preferred by an embittered magnate and were proven with- out foundation. Owens Was exonerated and reinstated. He will make a hit in the big League from the jump, you'll find.’ Bush is of the opinion that Cravath will prove the best man to come up to the major leagues from the minors this season, with the possible exception of some unheralded pitcher. “This lad is a hitting fool and never knows when to lay off. For two years he has been murdering the ball. ‘The Philadel- phia club is stronger than ever for acquir- ing this man. It will make a great hitting outfield the Quakers will own this season in Magee, Paskert and Cravath. That bunch should average about .315 this season with none of them under the even hundreds., ~ “oe a

It was thought perhaps ‘“‘the Colonel’’ was bringing some trading materia] for exhibition purposes and wanted the ex- tra space for warerooms. It proved, however, that the additional roofage was needed to shelter Bobby Wallace and a small army of correspondents who were accompanying the American League advance from St. Louis. The schedule meeting of the American League, set for Wednesday, is the im- mediate cause of the visit of the St. Louls and other American League dele- gations now in the city. This business will be speedily transacted. The most interesting part of the gathering will be the possible trades to be turned. Griffith on the Ground. Manager Griffith of Washington was the earljest bitd, arriving yesterday afternoon and immediately seeking a conference with President Comiskey and Manager Callahan of the Sox. Griff frankly announced his purpose to obtain a couple or three young players from the surplus of the Sox, if possible. Callahan manifestly is after an experi- enced catcher and Griffith has two in Street and Ainsmith, with a promising youngster in Henry in reserve. Griffith needs infielders and Callahan has an abundance of youngsters, who are con- didates for all positions. This is the first hint at a trade that looks likely. One of the propositions which will be con- sidered at the meeting has met favor in both major leagues. It is to compel the club owners to try out all drafted play- ers before they can be released back to jthe minors. This can be done either in the fall or the epring. It is aimed at the existing evil by which major league clubs draft players for the sole purpose of ex- tending favors or paying debts to minor league clubs. Half the drafted players each year are turned back to the minors without getting more than a chance to look at the stationery of some major league club owner. The new rule also is aimed to handicap teams like Detroit, which owns farme which they may desire to stock an- nually by means of the draft. The proposition that is not so sure of adoption makes it necessary to obtain waiv- ers from both major leagues, instead of one, before drafted players can be disposed of. The National League favors making this rule extend to drafted players as w those purchased. = os CHALMERS STILL LEAD ST. PAUL TENPIN FIVES ST. PAUL, Minn...
