George A. Kimmel always wrote his mother regularly, ‘she testified. She Was shown a photograph of Kimmel and identified it as that of her son. She was shown then a photograph of the Claimant and said it was not her son. The photograph of the claimant was taken from a Bertillon record of June 23, 1899. Similarly, letters from Kimmel and from the claimant were shown her. She testified those of Kimmel as written by the son, but said those of the claimant were not written by her son. Attorney McIntosh objected ground that Mrs. Kimmel is not a hand-writing expert. Judge Amidon asked him if she questioned that the mother would know the writing of her own son. “Oh, I don’t question she would know his hand-writing,’’ the lawyer said, “Oh, well, let it go.” The mother then told of her first meeting with the claimant in the New York prison. She and her daughter went there, she said, and the warden brought word that the convict would see “his mother but not his sister.”’ “T went into the Warden’s room,” the mother said. “There was. a wire grating at one end. Behind it the man was sitting. I said, ‘How do you do” and he said, ‘How do you do” and I asked the warden to have him stand up and turn around. | looked at him and I said, *This is not my son.’ “I requested the warden to let him come from behind the screen and he did.

I asked why he hadn’t written and he said he had sent a letter to me from Detroit in care of Mrs. Lardner. Later Lardner had re- turned this letter to the writer. “He asked me if I knew a man named Wood, in Niles. I asked him which one and he said, ‘well, never mind.’ Examined Convict Carefully. “He asked me then if I knew Edward and Maggie Kimball and what relation Maggie Kimball was to him. I told him if he were my son he'd know she was his cousin. I asked him his grandmoth- er’s first name and he said ‘Margaret.’ The one I had in mind was named Mary. I asked him what Mrs. Mon- togue’s husband’s name was and he said ‘Henry.’ The man’s name was Jolin, “He asked me last time we were together. ‘Do you mean in Arkansas said: ‘No, no. When you Garrison were together.’ I heard of Garrison. ' “When I went away that night he asked me if I'd take a note to Garri- son. I said yes. He wrote a note, bu‘ didn’t give me the man’s address. ! got the address from him the next cay, and it was in care of the New York Life Insurance Co. I understood after- wards that the man was a G@etective for that company. “On that next dav I showed him a family group picture. My son would have known everyone in the group. The man merely glanced at it and said his eyes were poor. I thought it strange he could write a note and couldn’t see the photograph. ‘The interview on the first day ter- minated when he said to the warden he didn't think there was any use prolonging it.” Found Ne Resemblance to Son. Bhe said that during the conver- Sation she did not address the man as her son, because she could not find in him the least resemblance to George A.

common ground of their childhood recol- and said the claimant tmen- tioned only two incidents, one the mak- ing of a spool from a top, which Edna did not remember, and the other their fondness for chocolate fudge, an article, she said, which was unknown when Ed- na was a child. He Looked Too Old. “Edna told me,’ the mother said, “that she felt no instinetive -recogni- tion, that the man did not look like ner brother and that he appeered °0 years older than George should be.” Taylor asked if George had ever had sore or inflamed ey?a, and the muther said he had not. Then Taylor saiac: “As they (the de- fense) have seen fit 10 drag in a com- parison (the proposal to compare the hands of the clainun: and Mrs. Eons- lett), I will call this convict and the witness before the jury ana let them see whether there is any family re- semblance. The dramatic comparison was then made, the jurors :urveying the two in- tently. “Take the witness: said Taylor, in a loud tone, when the comparison had finished, and Attorney McIntee® began the cross-examinatién. In courtly manner, Attorney MclIn- tosh said to Mrs. Kimmel that it was his duty to ask her some questions. “And in doing so,’ he said, ‘T shall refer to this man whom we call your son as George, as that is the name I know him by. But in answering my questions you will pot be committing yourself to an admission that he is George A. Kimmel.” Attorney Bacon objected. He declared it was not fair for Attorney McIntosh to refer to the claimant as George A. Kimmel. “I insist,'’’ said Bacon, ‘‘that Mr. Mc- Intosh be required to refer to this claimant as the claimant, or this per- son, or this man or this gentleman.”’ “So it seems to me,” ruled Judge Amidon. ‘‘You will call him the claim- ant or some such name in your cross- examination, Mr. McIntosh.’’ Mother Is Cross-Examined. The attorney for the insurance com- pany then began a line of cross-ex- amination tending to show that Mrs. Kimmel had a financial interest in the outcome of the suit. He asked her if it was not a fact that the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. had paid a 2000 policy on Kimmel’s life. She ad- mitted that it had. “The company paid the policy upon your representation that your son was dead, did it not?” asked the attorney. Yes.’ “If you were to own this claimant as your son would you not be under ob- ligations to return the $2000 to the Northwestern Life, with interest?’’ Attorney Bacon’s objection that the question called for a legal conclusion was sustained. Policy Paid Freely. McIntosh then tried to induce Mrs. Kimmel to admit that she would be morally obligated to return the money if she owned the claimant as her son. “I don’t think I would have to return the money,” she answered. “The com- pany paid the policy freely. It could see as well as I could that this claim- ant was not my son.” The attorney then questioned Mrs. Kimmel as to Mrs. Bonslett’s interest in the policies, and asked her if Mrs. Bonslett would not lose the money com- ing to her as Kimmel’s beneficiary if she admitted the claimant as her son. Mrs. Kimmel said she supposed such would be the case. “You have a brother, Johnson, have you not?” wo fae “Did you hear it testified to in a previous trial of this case that George A. Kimmel was attacked by Charles A. Johnson in St. Louis?’ Heard of Attack. that testimony,’ said Mrs lections, Charles A “I heard Kimmel. “Well, admitted this claimant that attack would re- wouldn't it?’ to the if you to be your son, flect upon your brother, Attorney Bacon's objection question was sustained. In reply to a question as to whether her son did not disappear once before. in 1854, Mrs. Kimmel said he went away without permission, but that he came back. She said she did not advertise for him then. “After his disappearance asked McIntosh, ‘didn't casional visits to you in Niles?” “He did not." “You have a F. Bither?’ “A man of that name lives three or four blocks from me.” “Didn't your s0n spend an evening with you tn your home in 19047" “He did not.’’ Mrs. Kimmel said in answer to ques- tions that she considered Bither a re- spectable and reliable person. When asked a similar question. about Cronert and Brown, who hada testified that the claimant was Kimmel, she said they were strangers to her and she did not wish to pass judgment on them. She said she had heard Dr. Vander- pool's testimony as to the physical con- dition of the plaintiff in Matteawan. Had Explained Delay. He then began a series of questions as to her reason for waiting three years before going to see the claimant. She had explained the delay, in her direct testimony, by saying the Montagues and the Hunts, who had seen the man, convinced her that he was not her gon. McIntosh emphasized the fact that she went on a pleasure trip to Europe in the summer of 1908 while the man mn i” he make oc- your home in neighbor named Anson

that she might have stoped on her way east to him. Her reply was that she took the steamer at Montreal, and did not pass through New York State on her way. The route, said, was not of her planning, went a party. She returned via Roston, there got a telegram from her daughter, Kdna, asking her at Au- burn. “You went because you thought that, With a trial approaching, it would policy to go?” she was asked. “IT went because my daughter asked me to,’ she answered. “You were not looking for evidence?” She shook her head. In the questioning that followed, the attorney used the phrase ‘‘mother love or money love,’’ and Mrs. Kimmel said she would be glad to have her son back, even diseased or deformed, but that she did not want a convict who did not even resemble her son. A elipping from the Niles Democrat of Dec. 13, 1884, relating to George A. Kimmel's first disappearance, was intro- duced. His accounts at the bank were found to be in good condition at that time, the ee said. a He SNYDER HERE T0 REFUTE SWINNEY Son Says He Hae Proof to Show Father Was Not With Kimmel. To clear his father’s name of all con- nection with either George A. Kimmel or John B. Swinney, Robert M. Synder Jr. of Kansas City, son of the late Rob- ert M. Snyder, came to St. Louis Fri- day to appear as a volunteer witness in the Kimmel case. The Kimmel claimant, in depositions taken while he was in the Auburn pris- on, declared that he was abducted in Kansas City by Snyder and Charles A. Johnson and brought to St. Louis, where he was attacked either by Snyder or persons employed by him. Swinney’s Story of Treasure. John B. Swinney of Minneosa, New Mex., testified that Snyder accompanied him on a Western expedition, with Kim- mel and J. A. Johnson, to search for a buried treasure. During the adventure Johnson killed Kimmel, and Swinney killed Johnson, according to Swinney, and their bodies were: buried by Snyder and Swinney in an Oregon forest. “I then went to the defense and of- fered its attorneys the same proof. The attorneys decided to call me as a wit- ness. see she as she she said, and her to meet be To Clear Father's Na ‘‘l came here to tell the truth Yo to clear my father’s name of all connec- tion with the Kimmel case. I know he was not in Kansas City either at the time the claimant and Swinney have testified that he was. My father was never mixed up in any way with George A. Kimmel.’”’ Young Snyder said that he had checks, deeds and other documents signed by his father in New York during’ the period mentioned by Swinney. The effect of Snyder’s’. testimony would be to cast doubt both upon the stories of Swinney and of the Kimmel claimant. Young Snyder said that he was not going to try to bolster up the cause of either side in the trial, but would tell his story regardless of who was hurt by it. a —_— ——— -—~. -- —_ Only One “Bromo Quinine” That is Laxative Bromo Quinine.

investigation of War Department Likely to Follow Suspension of General. ee BERGER JOINS IN ATTACK

‘Effort to Be Made, It Is Said, to Extend Inquiry to Wood’s Cuban Administration.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—A congres- gional investigation of the War Depart- ment, probably by a House committee, appeared today to be a certain outcome ‘ef the Ainsworth-Wood line and staff controversy which resulted yesterday in the relief of Adjutant-General Fred C. Ainsworth from office. Friends of _ Gen. Ainsworth in the House were said today to be preparing the resolution of investigation, and it was said that an effort would be made to have the scope of the inquiry so widened as to include an inquiry into the administration of affairs in Cuba at the time Gen. Leonard Wood, now chief of staff of the army, was military governor of the island. Judge-Advocate Gen. Crowder was busy today preparing the charges on which Gen. Ainsworth will be tried by courtmartial. Meantime the House of Representa- tives took a hand in War Department affairs by adopting an amendment to the army appropriation bill consolidating the offices of chief of staff, adjutant-gen- eral and inspector-general into,a single bureau of the general staff. Berger Attacks Standing Army, The chief of staff would be the su- preme and directing head, with the adjutant-general and inspector-general members of the staff. Representative Berger of Wisconsin, Socialist, attacked the policy of an ex- tensive standing army, declaring it to be a “standing preparation for war.’’ He insisted the United States needs no standing army for purposes of defense. “Texas alone,’’ he said, ‘‘could whip Mexico in case of an attack. If the Canadians should try to attack us, I Berger declared the Government was seending $490,000,000 for militarism and hes than half that sum for the entire public school system.

JONES TOLD GRAND JURY ROOM SECRET DR. BOYD ALLEGES President of People’s League Says Revelation Was Made in Statement About Him.

SPOKE ONLY OF ‘RUMORS

Has No Evidence Against Mayor in Bridge»Deals and Declares He Was Misquoted.

The Rev. W. W. Boyd, president of the People’s League, in an interview Friday, alleges that Circuit Attorney Jones revealed secrets of the grand jury room in a statement which he made last \yednesday when he announced that he had summoned Dr. Boyd to testify be- fore the grand jury. Boyd was summoned to explain asser- tions which he had made at a meeting of the People’s League. He was quoted as saying that his investigation showed that all real estate speculation in con- nection with the east appreach of thie free bridge could be traced t. the door of Mayor Kreismann’s own house. Jones Out of the City. ‘In announcing that he had summoned me, Circuit Attorney Jones gave out a statement as to what took place in the grand jury room when I Was a witness there several months ago,’’ said Dr. Boyd. “It was made to appear that when 1 went before the grand jury I ailed to substantiate statements which l had made in a- speech. “The law binds the Circuit Attorney to secrecy just as strongly as it binds the witnesses and tne members of the grand jury.” Circuit Attorney Jones is out of the city. In an interview Wednesday after- noon he denied that he had revealed anvthing which occurred when. Dr. Boyd wads before the grand jury last Novem- ber. He added that aside from the grand jury inquiry he had investigated Dr. Boyd’s charges and found no evi- dence of payroll padding. Talked About Romors., Dr. Boyd, Friday, also denied that he was correctly quoted as saying that he had traced real estate speculation to Mayor Kreismann’s door. “IT was merely talking about rumors,”’ he said. ‘‘Here are the exact words I used in my speech. I said: ‘You may have heard rumors that Mr. Gerhart’s deep interest in the northeast approach to the free bridge has its roots in real estate speculation on the East Side. The Mayor reported as saying there is too much speculation connected with the eastern approach, but the only rumors concerning real estate speculation I have heard went straight to the door of the Mayor's own house,” Has No Evidence. Dr. Boyd, Friday, admitted he has no evidence that the Mayor has been con- with such speculation. It was-understood by some of Dr. Boyd's friends that he based his re- marks on an investigation said to have been made by Frank M. Gerhart. ‘“‘All | know about it is that two East St. Louis banks refused to tell me who were the beneficiaries in the sales of two tracts of land near the end of the Reber approach,’’ said Gerhart. “I have never found any evidence that Mayor Kreismann has been speculating on) is nected in real estate there and have never made such a charge. I told all I knew to the House of Delegates committee last October.”’

WILL SELL IN. NEW YORK

St. Louisan’s Rivalry With Miss Loula Long, Feature of Re- cent Contests.

an effort to get a string of horses which will ‘be unrivaled in America, Adolphus Buseh III, will soon journey to the prinicpal horse markets, in search of the most promising material. Incidentally, he expects to sell at least 16 horses of his present string, includ- ing a number of prize winners. They will be offered at auction in New York next a . His rivalry Kansas City in the ‘nightly events was the feature of last fall’s Horse Show at the Coliseum. Denver show Miss Long got more firsts than Busch, and his friends know that he is eager to strengthen his string so that it shall be second to none. Young Busch, who attained his ma- jority recently, has exhibited in most of the shows in the West. as well as in Washington, this winter. Only in Den- ver did he fail to get as many ribbons as he expected. In the St. Louis, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Hot Springs, Fort Worth, Dallas and Washington events, he took his share of the honors. Ribbon Winners to Go. Most of the horses to be sold are in the heavy harness class. These include Itoval and Regent, blue ribbon winners in their division in the Kansas City show. Gibson Girl and Kotic, another heavy harness pair, which captured rib- bons in St. Louis, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Dallas, Fort Worth, Hot Springs and Washington. Lord and Lady Gobang, recently pur- chased by young Busch, and winners of three blue ribbons in the Denver show, are to go under the hammer. Moun- taineer and Forester, ponies shown by Busch’s younger brother in the recent St. Louis show, will also be shipped to New York and offered for sale. The others include Chedsaye and Brinkley Girl, a small tandem, the Busch four, and two others, unnamed. According to Busch, he will retain of the present string only Yankee Prince, his runabout horse; Chantecleer, his sad- dle horse, and: Flying Dutchman, a young harness horse, which Busch be- lieves has the makings of a winner in his class. Because of the proposed sale, will not enter the horse show in Hot Springs, March 5 to 9. This is expected to be one of the greatest outdoor events of its kind and one of the big social happenings of the Hot Springs season. To Have Smaller .String. ‘A real good string includes versatile horses,’ said young Busch to the Post- Dispatch. ‘For instance, if you have a versatile four, it isn’t really neces- sary to have many more in your string, save a runabout horse. From a versa- tile four you can pick a harness pair, a tandem, gig and high steppers. “IT am hopeful of obtaining a smaller but better string. To acquire one will mean I will have to travel about and leok over the horses before purchas- ing.”’ CUENDET SAVES CAT IN GLOBE STORE FIRE Men Hurt by Fall Fichting $30o,- 000 Blaze in Downtown Store.

EWFLRY STOREIN |GRAND JURY GALLS BARR BLOCK BEING RAZED IS LOOTED In a hurry to loot the building before BOSS’ MURPHY IK SCHIFF VALET CASE He Is Said to Have Conferred With Dix Before Governor Declined to Interfere. BRANDT TO TESTIFY, TOO

Fights Efforts of Schiff and Lawyer to Go Be- Prosecutor fore Investigators.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Charles F. Murphy, head of Tammany Hall, it is announced, will be called by the grand jury in the Brandt case. It is said that he and Delancey Nicoll, who is a recognized attorney for the Schiffs, and at present is the attorney of Howard Gans, the Schiff lawyer about whom the tempest is raging, had a long conference in this city with Gov. Dix the day refused to com- mute Brandt’s prison sentence. What the of calling Murphy is not clear, unless it be to uphold the charge that a conspiracy existed to have Brandt sent to prison and kept there. Folke E. Brandt will be taken fore the grand jury by District Attorney Whitman, that he may to answer directly the many questions the jurors wish to ask. He will be asked to tell his whole story from the day he came to this country from Sweden until, two later, he sentenced for almost a life term after pleading to first devree burglary in the house of Morti- mer L. Schiff, the millionaire who em- ployed him as valet. What the grand jury wishes particu- to know is the Brandt had his belief that “‘evervthing was all right,’’ which he continually repeated to his counsel and to those he met in the prison. The investigation being made by Whit- man into the charge that the prisoner was “‘railroaded”’ as the result of a con- spiracy is getting results. Piece by piece the fabric of the case against the man is being torn away and the inner workings, which show a deliberate ef- fort to have him given the maximum penalty, is being exposed. Howard S. Gans, for Schiff, who played a big part in the prosecution of Brandt, has renewed for the third or fourth time, his application to be permitted to go before the grand jury. So did Client, Schiff.

it is a sign that Nature needs as- sistance. It is Nature’s call for

help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, Or hair that is falling out, is not necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of hair without a single streak of gray. When gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Specialists say that one of the best preparations to use is the old-fashioned “sage tea” which our grandparents used. The best prep- aration of this kind is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep-

Resistance to the advice and instructions of medical officers in the army or navy is construed as insubordination as serious as resistance to the orders of other commissioned officers. Because they refused to submit themselves to the new anti- typhoid inoculation, a number of the crew of the battleship Vermont, in Cuban waters, are being punished as virtual mutineers. There was a time when disobedience to the orders of a chaplain involved as grave conse- quences to members of organized military forces. Army and navy policies which make mutineers of faithful men with intelligence and individuality enough to object to the introduction of noisome, poisonous substances into healthy bodies cannot command popular approval. If vaccination for various diseases were pre- scribed a condition at the time of enlistment, the men would have the option of consenting to it or declining to enter the service. To impose after enlistment vaccination on men in violation of their will and judgment is a misuse of military authority. It cannot be justified on the ground of necessity in the absence of an epidemic. So far as typhoid is concerned, it can be combatted in entirely unobjectionable ways through sanitation. This is a subject with which Congress should deal.

= = ww Concession of courage of the very highest order can no longer be withheld from Mr. Taft. He dared to order the suspension and arrest of Ad- jutant-General Fred C. Ainsworth. Megane we igi kone estate WHY NOT IN MISSOURI? Because of the lax methods of preserving public records, the Modern Historical Metheds Associa- tion was organized last fall. President Taft and many prominent Americans are the officers and directors. The objects are to preserve moving picture, photographic, phonographic and written records of great events for future generations. To this end a letter has been sent out to the Gov- ernor of every state, asking co-operation. The work seems one in which Missouri might well take part. What would we not give to hear Daniel Webster dedicating the Bunker Hill Monument, to hear Patrick Henry’s resonant plea for liberty, to see the inaugural ceremonies which made Washington twice President, to see on canvas the embattled columns at Bull Run or the Wilderness? With means at hand for the preservation of present-day events for generations to come, are we not doing less than our duty to neglect to hand them down in picture and similitude of sound”? Mere paper and ink are voiceless and formless. Ink fades and paper, as we make it today, is short-

Every state should keep its records in the most durable materials. The human voice and all other sounds may now be recorded on metal plates that, under proper conditions, can be preserved forever. The film that holds the moving picture can be reproduced t> make a permanent record. Already statesmen, kings, singers and actors have given their voices to future generations. No great event today goes unrecorded by the moving film. The coronation, the Durbar, the signing of Arizona’s statehood papers are all preserved ia moving pictures. The Modern Historic Records Association’s plan t? preserve important records of moving, speaking history for generations unborn is worthy of hearty support. It should not fail to be indorsed by the State of Missouri, and might be adopted with ad- vantage by St. Louis for matters of more purely local interest.

In reply to writer of letter on “Home Wreck- ers,” how could you punish the girl or woman cf “low character,” as you call them unless you pun- ish the equally guilty man? There must be some- thing morally wrong with the man who cannot resist the charms of such characters if he really has a good wife at home. What cause produces girls of low character? It is always a man who causes a girl to go wrong and very often a married man, I am sorry to say. Married men are often home-wreckers also 7s I have good reason to know. Wayward girls never purposely seek married men as companions, They take who comes and ask no questions. Mar- ried men who frequent dance halls and clubs never admit being married. Since my own home was wrecked by a prominent married business man of St. Louis I have studied and pondered these things from all sides and angles and I say to you, be fair. I know the man could not have wrecked my home if the woman had been true and good, so I say they are equally guilty. Yes, it causes many heartaches and homeless children and if you know _of a way to stop it or even check the evil «ell us about it. ANOTHER BROKEN HOME,

An Invitation to Young Men. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. If the man who signs himself “J. P. Howard, Columbia, IIL,” ever comes to St. Louis or any clean young man now in the city has that cry for the companionship of his fellow men, we cor- dially invite him to the Young Men’s Agoga Class, Third Baptist Church, Grand and Washington, a class of 300 young men. We will give him plenty of entertaining and if he is willing to work for God plenty of work; in fact, young men of the J. I’. Howard stamp are what we are after. We. have a grand teacher and also try to get work for the boys. We will take all that “flowing bowl” nonsense out of his head. Class meets 9:30 Sunday morning. AN AGOGA, | The Near-Side Stop Law. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The reason most frequently advanced in favor of the near-side car stop is that in other cities the cars stop on the near side, and that St. Louis !s vears behind the times in this respect, as though that were an argument in its favor. The near-side stop is a great inconvenience, espe- cially with the P. A. Y. E. cars, which are neces- sarily entered through the rear door. We had an example of this during the recent heavy snow, when people had to wade through the snow to get to the cars, the street crossings being of no service. It will be even worse when the streets are muddy, and be- side the disagreableness of wading through snow and mud, there is added the discomfort of riding in cars the floors of which ‘ire wet and covered with mud. This in itself is a m2nac2 to the health of pas- sengers. The near-side stop is also inconvenient when transferring from one car to another, as many peo- ple no doubt could testify. Ke. Earning Power of High School Graduates. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. This talk about students not Knowing anything after four years in school is due to the selection of the course. Very often the college course is taken up by those who have no intention of g0- ing—merely because it sounds good. Spanish and French are seldom required in everyday busi- ness life; German is preferable, The high school gives a splendid manual train- ing course, also commercial course. After four years at either you can earn daily bread for more than one, If necessity demands a shorter term, they give a two-year business course, but the broader education along other lines, if the time can be given, is simply splendid and fits the girl or boy to enter business or society with con- fidence. ANOTHER WHO KNOWS. Is It Double Taxation? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Mr. Turner advocates that mortgages should not be taxed. From this I take it that he is a lender instead of a borrower and speaks from the lender's standpoint. : I would like to give my views on the subject as a borrower. Under our present taxation laws there is surely double taxation, for the property owner is taxed for the full valuation of his prop- erty regardless of the mortgage held against it, and the man that holds the mortgage is also tuxed for the amount of the mortgage, There- fore, the valuation of the mortgage is paid in texes by both men, making {t double taxed. Mr. Turner says, don’t tax the mortgage: but to do that would let the man with money have a chance to loan his money out on mortgages, and conse- quently pay no taxes on it, while the borrower would be paying on a valuation that he really does not own. The remedy, I think, fs to tax the mortgage, but deduct the amount from the borrower's valua- tion. W. H. CHANDOIN. Recall of Judges. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We @o not say that all judges are bad and should be recalled, but we do believe that prog- ress lies along this line and that a goodly portion of the evils of representative government can be eradicated by the wholesome discipline of an ade- quate recall law for all public officials. As to Senator Lodge’s Lincoln day speech at Springfield, IlL, in which he says that “progress does not necessarily indicate anything good,” and refers to our form of government as representa- tive, we believe that any progress will be good for those whom these representatives represent, and anything that will carry us forward is bet- ter than standing still or going backward. The claim for the superiority of the republican form of government over the old form of monarchy was mainly that we would be free from the evils of a one-man rule or a one-class rule, BENTON

U, Promoters Hope to Close Deal for Blue and White Field Today. Sv W. J. O°?CONNOR. Crigef, the veteran catcher who for years was one-half of that famous battery ‘‘Young-and-Criger,” has been offered the managership of the local Columbian League club. Criger is win- tering in Michigan, and a telegram was forwarded to him Thursday evening efter the stockholders otf the local club rad decided that he would be an ideal man for managerial job hnere. Criger aizo is sought by Col. Hedges, who wants the veteran to tutor the young Krownie pitchers. That St. Louis U. Park will be the home of the local Columbian League club was all but definitely decided at Thursday's meeting. Directors of the St. Louis U. Park Association had a eonference with the new league offi- cials and it is said an agreement was reached om the rental! price. Stephens to View Parks. Before a final decision is made on the park proposition, however, the Colum- bian club stockholdeis will make a tour of the city and study all, the various propositions recently made by local land owner tormer Gov. Lon V. Stephens will be in this party, which will ‘ve piloted by Otto F. Stifel in the latter's touring car. William Urian and Mike Kenney also will take the cross-town trip. That no players have been signed by the local club was admitted by the stockholders Thursday evening at the Planters Hotel, but this is explained by Mr. Urian, who says: “It is our intention to let the man- ager select his players. We have more tian 16 applications from likely young players and just as soon as we hit upon a manager we will turn over to him these applications with certain sug- gestions. We intend to favor St. Louis bevs. ““Miger would be almost an ideal man rer the managerial task. He has had plenty of experience and is well known in St. Louis, He wound up his active base- ball work here, although he afterwards went to New York. He did little work for the Yankees, and quit the big arena for good last year. His old battery mate, Cy Young, atill is in harness. Powers Due Here Today. President John T. Powers is expected in St. Louis from Cincinnati today. Powers hopes to switch the Detroit franchise to Cincinnati, and has been in Porkopolis try- ing to close a deal for Hippodrome Park, now under option to the United States League. If Powers reports here in time he will attend Friday's meeting at the Planters, and should give the local stock- holders many valuable tips. Vin Campbell, the local boy who is at outs .with Owner Dreyfuss of the Pitts- burg club, is expected in St. Louis next week, and has been asked to meet a rep- resentative of the local club. It is said that Campbell will be offered a fancy figure to gign with the local team, but no bonus will be given. Campbell may be tendered the managerial toga if Criger declines the offer made him Thursday. Word from Cleveland Friday says that Jack O'Connor, who was deposed as man- ager of the Browns in 1910, has been offered the managership of the Cleveland (United States League) club. Harry Stein- feldt is siated to manage the Cincinnati team in this league, it is said, while Jack Warner, ex-Giant catcher, will boss Reading. Trendall- Keliy Bout Enhanced When Both Star Harry Trendall’s splendid contest against Milburn Saylor at the Coliseum Thursday night, and the victory of Leo Kelly over Harry Donahue, at Peoria, caused Frank X. Moore of the Irish-American Athletic Club to heave a sigh of relief. Moore has Trendall and Kelly dated for a bout at his club on Feb. 22 and the failure of the men to make good in their respective mills of Thursday might have hurt the card in the eyes of members. Now the event appears all the better for the showing made by the men. Trendall was not in perfect condition as he had been pointing himseif for the Feb. 22 show, when he faced Saylor, and was about one week away from his best edge. He showed good stamina, however, and was coming fast when the mill ended Thursday. The Kelly-Trendall affair will be the most notable between local men staged here in many days. Kelly Beat Donahve. Leo Kelly of St. Louls shaded Harry Donahue in their bout at Peoria, Iil., Thureday night. The 10 rounds furnished a fine exhibition of scientific boxing, with Donahue finishing strong. The men have been matched for @ third bout. Kelly previously won a decision over Donahue. Jack Morrow and Jack “Twin” Sullivan fought a 10-round drew at Cleveland. ngland’s new hope in divisor” Gefeated Louis a French boxer, at New York Thureday night.

There is much to be said in favpr of both and something against Saylor.) The latter landed some blows on the Ss ang away,” contrary to the rules and ingtruc- tions, and was guilty of some gt oe and hitting. In each instance he apolo- gized, but they were blows that sould not have been given and canpot be counted. / Then, too, in the fourth yound he butted Trendal! full in the face and then landed two ct three hard“blows. for the butt he apologized, but he cannot be given credit for the blgws that immedi- ately followed the accident, for accident it appeared to be. To have cailed the b between these two boys anything but a draw would have been an injustice. : While the first round was devoid of much, still a hard right cross by Trendall started’ the blood to trickle from Saylor’s left ear. It may have been an old wound re- opened, but the blow landed had force. In the second round a left hook by Say- lor started blood from the St. Louls boy’s nose, and honors were about even. In this round both the boys were cau- tioned not to hold and hit, but Saylor was the more guilty of the two. In jus- tice to the latter, as explained by his manager after the bout, it was the sec- ond time that he had boxed under the ‘‘clean-break”’ rule. The third round was of no special interest and neither had an advantage. Trendall’s Right Cross Fails. The fourth round found Trendall try- ing desperately to land a hard right cross to the jaw, but this was. blocked by Saylor’s left shoulder, which he car- ried high, and as a consequence most of Trendall’s blows fell short of the place he was trying to reach. He was very aggressive, however, and carried the fight to Saylor. In the meantime the latter was using a left hook to good advantage and shook Trendall now and again as the latter came boring in. At the end there was not much to choose between the two. The fifth round was marked by heavy hitting and both resorted tO an upper- cut that was more conspicuous in this round than in any other,. Trendall try- ing to land his right under the chin of Saylor, while the latter used the “loop-the-loop,"” a swinging blow pe- culiar to himself and intended for the side of the head or jaw. The sixth roun«c tted I would out between belonged to Saylor. He repeatedly landed a punishing left hook to the nose and mouth, and when the round ended Trendall went to his corner weak and wobbly. It began to ‘ook as if Saylor was to be the winner, out when the seventh round was called Trendall came up about as strong as his opponent and was able to hold his own. All Trendali’s Round. The eighth, and last, round, belonged to Trendall and he easily offset any advantage which had been gained by Saylor in the sixth. This rovnd was hard fought, but Trendall had reserved enough strength to go at it full force and he never let up until the gong sounded the end. At no time during the entire bout was either boy hit hard enough to bring a knock- out in sight and at the finish one was just about as strong as the other. Saylor had landed a greater number of blows to the face, while Trendall had evened it up with clean work and blows to the body. Trendall tried hard to cross with his right to the head, but that left shoulder and ready teft arm of Saylor was an effectual block in « majority of instances, It was a good bout, both boys trying hard all the time, and is was not the fault of either that it went the limit. Saylor lived up to his reputation and Trendali did re. markably well for one who had taken on the bout at two days’ notice. Net that Trendall was not in condition, for he had been in active training for his bout with Leo Kelly waid for Saylor, because he had been ing for Freddie Daniels and not for dali, the latter having been substituted By HARRY S. SHARPE. / | Referee for the St. etic WHAT SHARPE SAYS OF COLISEUM BOUTS Catch weights (about 135 pounds)—Harry Trendall vs. Milburn Saylor; 8 rounds, to a draw. 118 pounds—Bobby Robi- dou won from Benny Me- Govern; 6 rounds. 135 pounds—Freddie Gil- master won from Adolph Fisher; 6 rounds. seemed as if Robidou had reserved some- thing for the finish, for in the sixth round he went after Benny with something that Was more than a flash in the pan and he had the St. Louis boy holding on, More than that, McGovern, contrary to instructions, held and hit until I had to warn him to desist or I would disqualify him. The bout was a beauty, however, and won by a margin only. In the very first round Robidou reached McGovern's jaw with a hard right cross that unlimbered the knees and it took clever generaiship to get out of this mess. Little Mac evened things in the second and outpointed Robidou in the third. In this round Robidou invited Mc- Govern to stand Still and fight, but the St. Louis boy Knew his business and sent over jabs and jolts, augmented by clever foot- work that had the boy from Memphis guess- ing. He repeated in the fourth, and at this time it was in McGovern’s favor. But in the fhrih round McGovern began to get much the worst of it. Once when Robi- dou shot a hard right to McGovern’s jaw he asked the latter how he liked it. ‘‘It was a peach,’’ said Benny, and it was. That blow slowed our St. Louis boy up con- siderably. Robidou Finishes Strong. The sixth round was nearly all Robidou’s. He was very willing and appeared much the stronger. He outboxed and outfought Benny all the way, and it must have been a relief to the latter when the round ended. Judging from his showing of last night, Robidou is a better boy than Frankie White. whom McGovern has twice taken into camp, despite the fact that columns have been writ- ten about White, whereas a few lines has sufficed for Robidou. The latter boxed here a few years ago as an amateur, but drifted South and comes back a professional, and a good one at that. Gilmaster a Winner. The preliminary between Freddie Gilmaster and Adolph Fischer was won by the former. but the winner’s showing was a_ disap- pointment. I have seen him box many times as an amateur and have seen him do much better than he did last night. ae | Tips. and Cues Cue League Standing. TEAMS. Lost. Chicago Pct. PTOGGMAVE cccccéececes cece Boston Score another for Elmer Farrar! The St. Louis cue star who started so mis- erably in the National Amateur Three-Cush- ion League, is winding up tn a blaze of glory (to use minor league language). By beating John Dankleman of New York, 50—42, last night, Farrar chalked up his eighth victory out of 10 tries in the East. He has boost- ed the local entry from ‘‘nowhere’’ to fourth place—a truly remarkable record. Farrar has two more games in New York before he returns home. He then will be called upon to entertain Philadelphia and Brooklyn on the local tables, winding up the season with six games at Peterson's. St. Louis’ great showing is the only interesting feature of the cue league at present. Chi- cago seems to have the pennant safely won but there’s still a chance that St. Louls may wind up in third place. Tonight's Local Schedule. At the Royal—Scott vs. Mueller, pecket bil- liards.

Luttbeg at Last Arranges Bout for Mat Title What promises to be an unraveling of the long-tangled skein of the light- weight wrestling championship is to be found in the announcement of Max Lutt- beg that a match between himself and John Bulliter of Toledo, to take place in St. Louis March 3, has at last been arranged. According to Luttbeg, the affair was closed by Joseph Dilg of the St. Louis Rowing Club, where the event will be held on March 3. The event is the customary catch-as-catch-can finish affair, best two falls in three. The sum of $1000 will be the side wager of each and if it is not mere words, will guarantee one of the greatest mat con- tests that has been seen in years and one of the roughest. Harry Sharpe of St. Louis will referee the mill. The club is giving the wrestlers a big per- centage of the receipts. The men will make the lightwelght limit, 135 pounds, just before stepping on the* mat.

Boosters for Wooster Lambert, the young St. Louis bowler who is a candi- daie for the presidency of the American Bowling Congress, were not pleased to learn Friday that Judge Howard of Chi- cago had decided to “run.” The Chi- cago delegates Thursday prevailed upon ‘toward to announce his candidacy, after it Was definitely stated that Robert Bry- son of. Indianapolis, present incumbent, would not allow his name to go before the convention for re-election. Judge Howard will be a hard man to beat, He’s well known in the tenpin world and has the support of the big Chicago ceiegation, besides the officers of the A. Bh. C., each of whom is allowed one vote. #owever, Howard is rather late in enter- ing the race, and the campaigning al- rendy done for Lambert may carry the day for St. Louis after all. Hard Campaign Expected. That Chicago anticipate a hard fight from St. Louis is inferred from the following dispatch out of the Windy City: ‘‘The local man’s candidacy is expected to bring on a big fight between the dele- gations of St. Louis and this city, as the Mound City players have placed Wooster Lambert in nomination and figure their city is entitled to the office for its great support of the congress in recent years. ‘“‘Howard is at present chairman of the Executive Committee of the A. B. C. and has held most of the offices in the Chi- and Illinois bowling associations. Chicago probably will vote solidly for him, while he will have the support of most of the officers of the congress, with the exception of St, Louis.’’ cago A. B. C. Entries Close Tonight. Entries for the big A. B. C. tourna- ment which will be inaugurated in Chi- cago March 2 will close tonight at mid- night. St: Louis already has a _ bulky entry, But could easily stand a few moré teams. Dennis Sweeney, secretary of the city association, and Morris Phillips, who are accepting the local entries, will tarry at the Washington Alleys until midnight to take care of the late comers. According to Secretary Abe Langtry of the A. B. C., all former records already hava been broken by the Chicago show. No less than 346 clubs were catalogued Friday morning, while at least 100 more were expected before closing time. More than $25,000 has been collected in fees, Langtry says. Chicago has 92 clubs entered, The Union Soda five tightened its grip on first place in the city league scramble Thursday evening when it copped three games in a row from the Old Lynchs. Jerry Ameling’s squad now has a lead which secures the championship. The Duffys duplicated the Union Sodas’ trick and whitewashed the Metallics, but all other matches resulted in 2—1 breaks, the Lamberts, St. Clairs and Budweisers winning from the Burkes, Hyde Parks and Stifels, respectively.

[847 ROGERS BROS. This brand is known as ALL IN THE VIEWPOINT. ANTED: An agreement on the con- siderations to be taken into ac- count in judging a limited round boxing Hcontest. A get-together society for the preven- tion of cruelty to one another's intelli- gence is certainly in demand, as may be seen in any old city boasting three or more daily newspapers and no-decision boxing shows. In such communities whenever a contest is reasonably close it is quite possible that three different opinions will be handed down by the self-constituted referees of*the press: A victory for each man and, of course, the draw. . « e KEEPER, WATCH YOUR PATIENTS. T. LOUIS is no exception. After any show it is easy enough to hit upon half a dozen different conversations among writers, approximating as fol- lows: A.: What do you think of the bout? X.: Well, it would be a shame to han- dicap either man by deciding in favor of the other. It’s close, that’s about the best you can do. A.: Well, Saylor had it on points to a certainty. The first round was even and after that Trendall was even in only one round and had the better of the last. The rest was all Saylor. B.: Man, you can't see the point. Tren- dall was the aggressor throughout the bout. He was continually boring in and he fought cleaner. He did the greater damage when he landed. He hurt Saylor in the fifth round, and had him shaky and stopping in the last. Trendall | should have the verdict. C.: Not only that, but had the affair gone two rounds further Saylor would have gone to sleep. Trendall was much stronger at the end. In a finish fight Trendall would win sure. D.: Yes, but what’s that got to do with the case? Considering that Saylor scored the more points, but had to be cautioned about holding and foul fight- ing, under clean break rules, and that Trendall was the aggressor and made up a lot of ground in the last round, I can’t see anything but a draw in this contest, * . ° WHO WOULD BE A REFEREE? ND there you are—there’s no com- mon viewpoint in the matter. Ow- ing to the fact that each view has some truth connected with it, to dispute any opinion is to invite suspicion of your sanity by the holder of the same. Do you wonder that competent ref- erees are well paid in contests where decisions are permitted? They must have to devote quite a bit of their re- ceipts to life insurance premiums. - 7 * HAVE THE MATCH BONDED. O Max Luttbeg and Johnny Billiter have finally agreed to get together for the lightweight wrestling champion- ship. In view of some of the queer antics of both gentlemen in the past, wouldn’t it be better to insist that the men do their training in straight jackets, so the affair will not be crooked? + s _ PLAYING IT SAFE.

It’s not that the rushing fireman, James Flynn, will turn the trick—few think he can do it, even though two years of absence from the fight game will undoubtedly have sent the negro back along the road to dubdom. That’s a formidable bunch of man mountain developing In New York and the pity of it all is that when one of them comes to the front with the goods and beats the colored wonder, the latter will be able to sit back and say: “Well, Father Time gets us all."’ * + . HAVE THE GOODS, | has been many a day since the ring knew such Titans as Palzer and Morris, and even big Jim Stewart. These are the greatest physical gladiators since Jeffries was in his prime. And it is not exaggeration to say that all three are much further adyanced than was Jef- fries, after a similar period of milling, despite the fact that Jeff had the ad- vantage of training in one champion’s jcamp and being coached by another. Johnson can see his fate any time he wants to look on Morris or Johnson, in a finish fight, after one year from date. About that time both men _ should know enough about the game to risk a big engagement. KONEY’S STARS WORK OUT FOR BIG GAMES Larry Doyle, the boy from Breese who played such a stellar role for John McGraw’s Giants in the blue ribbon series- with the Athletics last fall, reached St. Louls Friday to line up with Koney’s All-Stars in the in- door game with the Marquettes of Chicago Saturday evening. Doyle will work-out with the local team at the Jai Alal Friday after- noon. Koney now has his team complete for the bouts with Chicago. The latter team has a wonderful record, having won 87 straight games this season. The Marquettes are scheduled to reach St. Louis Saturday noon. The first game will be played Saturday evening at 8 o'clock; the second on Sunday at 2, and the third Monday evening. Koney will pitch for the local team with Hauser behind the bat. JOHNSON FLYNN FORFEITS TO BE POSTED SATURDAY CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—Forfeits heavyweight championship match between Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn, it is said, will be posted tomorrow by the principals and Jack Curley for the promoters. The pro- moters say $20,000 will be placed in the hands of Al Tearney, Alderman and pregi- dent of the Three I Baseball League. Orig- inally it was agreed that $40,000 should be posted. Of this amount the principals were to stake $10,000 each and Curley §20,000. Later it was agreed that the amounts should be cut in two. ——_——_@-—-__—— Everett Booe, B. F.

“BHT TRADING. ARK SESSION IN WALL STREET

Most Issues Are Lower With Some Selling in Coalers | and Steel. LOSE BANKS CASH

‘Currency Movements for the Week Indicate Decrease of Over $2,000,000. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb, 16.—The Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted financial ‘review today, Says: “The movement of prices in today’s stock market was continuously heavy. Trading was about as per- functory as it has peen on previous days, and except for the rather free offerings of the speculative issues on the afternoon decline, there was little activity to ‘speak of. “The market was an uninteresting affair from start to finish, and even in the unusually active issues the dealings were unimportant. “After opening at yesterday’s level there was a moderate decline which did not, however, assume im- portant dimensions until about 1:30 o'clock, The selling, which began then was general throughout the list, with losses of from 1 to 1% points in many of the active shares. Steel Shares Are Weak. “The United States. steel shares received some support around 59%, and with Reading and Union Pacific were fairly well taken near the low level of the day. “In ‘the last hour the market be- came extremely dull, with business in general at the smallest volume of the day just before the close. “There was no initiative. to the trading, and even the professional operators appeared content to let the market take its own course without attempting any movements on their own account. “The closing was generally weak, with most of the standard stocks selling near the low level of the day. The European markets were about as listlesg as was our own. More New Note Issues. “A number of new short-term loans were under discussion, and it was evident that the bankers would have plenty of chances to finance such issues if they were disposed to take them up. “The inquiry from investors was largely confined to these securities, and while no large loans were an- nounced, there were indications that some new note issues by industrial corporations would be brought out next week. “The fact that the London banks had apparently bid a higher price than the Paris banks for the Lake Shore loan announced yesterday, con- firmed what was known before con- cerning the willingness of the for- eign market to take up propositions of that kind. Bond Demand Is Good, “The demand for short-term note issues was strong again, and the in- quiry from institutions in all parts of the country was sufficient to show that several properly-secured loans of that character could probably be Placed in this market without delay, if the income return was at least 4% per cent and if the notes matured within three years. “The virtual withdrawal of several banks from the time-loan market, re- flected the tendency of these insti- tutions to employ in notes or short- term bonds, much of the money that the yare accustomed to lend to Wall street borrowers, and to mercantile interests at this season of the year. “One indication of this tendency was the broad buying of corporation notes maturing within a few months, The price bid for these notes was, in many cases, sufficienty high to en- abe the original purchasers to sell out at a good profit, and that was what many of them did. ‘The money market was stagnant, but the continued strength of for- eign exchange showed that some large remittances were being made by banking interests, in connection with various loan operations on the other side. “The forecasts of the bank returns Suggested a loss of some $2,000,000 during the week, as against an indi- cated decrease of $10,000,000 last week. “The fact that the banks in their official showing of last Saturday re- rted a small gain in actual cash, n spite of the gold exports, may make the cash decrease tomorrow meni than today’s forecasts 5suUs~- gest.

Ready to Be Sent to Court, She Flees From Hospital. Nellie Steinburger, 17 years old, of 625 Riddle street, escaped from the city hos- pital by climbing down a fire escape at 6:30 p. m. Wednesday. She had been in the hospital since Feb. 7, having been sent there by the Juvenile Court. She was told Wednes- she was well enough to go back to court. While attendants were getting her clothes, she opened the window and climbed down the fire escape, wearing a day

Estimating that 190 patrolmen on an average were absent from duty every day through sickness, recreation or court service, President Woerheide of the Police Board and Chief Young are planning the introduction of @ bill in the next Legislature for the establish- ment of a reserve force of from 100. to 300 men. These men would be employed to fill the gaps made in the ranks by absent policemen, and to patrol beats at pres- ent left unprotected. For each 10 re- serve policemen, a sergeant would have to be appointed. Woerheide and Young held a confer- ence Thursday afternoon concerning the present frequency of robberies, and asserted that, whereas the Fire Depart- ment has been reinforced to fit the growth of population, the Police De- partment has been numerically sta- tionary for five years.

PROTEGE IN SECRET STARS AND TUNNEL How

Financier’s Friend Tells Miss Cameron Disappeared When Visitors Came. ————— SHE TAKES OVER A HOME

Says She Is in Charge at Effing- ton Towers and Heirs Do Not Molest Her.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Miss Marga- ret Cameron, protege of Edwin Haw- charge of the financier’s estate at Babylon, L. IL., since his death. None of his heirs has tried tO Cispute her sway. After Hawley’s funeral Miss Cameron wenf te Effington Towers with a man she introduced as her counsel. Assem- bling the servants and workmen, she told them that Hawley had given her a deed to the place and they would take their orders from her in the future. “T want no talking,’ she said. ‘“‘Any- body who says anything to the newspa- pers will be discharged.” Miss Cameron then drove away. Since that time she has not visited the Tow- ers. No representative of the Hawley heirs has been in Babylon since Haw- ley’s death. Babylon folks argue that if Miss Cameron does not own the Towers, the heirs certainly would have taken charge there before this. A remarkable story of a secret stair- case connecting with an underground passageway, by means of which Miss Cameron was spirited away unseen whenever guests arrived unexpectedly to visit Hawley, is told by a man whois a power in financial circles. There on Unannounced Visit. “Il was a frequent visitor at Effington Towers,” said he. “On an unannounced visit I was ushered, by mistake, I sup- pose, into a room that commanded a view of the driveway. Mr. Hawley and Miss Cameron rode up and dismounted. The servant told Mr. Hawley I was in the house. ‘“T heard them walk up the stairs to the porch and enter the hall. Mr. Haw- ley walked rapidly to the room where I was waiting, threw open the door wide and welcomed me. I looked into the hall. Miss Cameron had disappeared. She had not had time to walk down the long hall or up the main stairway. Small though the incident was, it puzzled me so that later I looked around on my own account. ‘‘When I could find no door or pass- age through which the young woman could have left the hall, I had a creepy feeling. But I argued that she could not have vanished into air. “The fact is this: When Mr. Hawley built Effington Towers he had a secret staircase and an underground passage constructed. This staircase, the exact entrance to which I never found, con- nected with the underground passage, which led to the stables. “When he was surprised by a caller, Miss Cameron could disappear down the staircase and reach the stables. “Edwin Hawley was always a man of reserve, and, in a sense, of mystery. What his object was in all of that I do not know. But I do know that when he entertained business friends, Miss Cameron never appeared. I said to him one night, ‘This is a magnificent place you have here, Hawley. The only thing it lacks to make it ideal is a wife.’ ‘“**Wife, you say!” he snorted. ‘Wife be damned! I wouldn’t have one if she were as fair as Venus and as good as the Virgin.’ Seemed Fond of Protege. “Mr. Hawley never mentioned Mfss Cameron to any of his friends and none of them ever felt intimate enough with him to be the first to broach a per- sonal subject. But I believe he was truly fond of his protege, despite his packing her off to New York when he entertained.”’ Two of the servants said Hawley and Miss Cameron ‘‘rowed something terri- ble at times.’’ “The last time Mrs. Seymour was here—she is Mr. Hawley’s sister—there was an awful quarrel,”’ said one serv- ant. “It happened late in the after- noon, when Mrs. Seymour and Miss Cameron were having a cup of tea. Those two got to quarreling about something, and they had it hot, too. “In the middle of it Mr. Hawley came in and Mrs. Seymour rushed up to him, crying, and said if he didn’t make Miss Cameron, leave the place she wag going and would never speak to him again. She ran up to her room and locked the door. “Mr. Hawley turned to Miss Cameron and said, ‘Dolly, get out. Go to town.’ Miss Cameron never said a word, but went. She told the driver on the way to the station that she expected she'd be leaving for good soon. That night Mrs. Seymour and Mr. Hawley had a quarrel and Mrs. Seymour took a train back to the city and hasn't been here since. Then Miss Cameron came back. “Miss Cameron never seemed to have any money. When she drove Mr. Haw- ley to the station she generally asked him. for some, amd when he gave her any it was mighty little. She even used to borrow 15 and % cents from the coachman to pay for small purchases at the drug store. Miss Cameron dressed poorly and had no jewelry except two diamond rings Mr. Hawley gave her at Christmas time two years ago. Always Became Reconciled. “When they quarreled Mr. Hawley used to ask her, ‘Well, what would have you been ff it weren't for me” He threw ft up at her that he took her in when she @idn't have a cent and no home or place to go. Then she would ery and he would stamp his feet and say, ‘I have no use for crying women. Get out!’ Miss Cameron almost always went to New York for a few days after these quarrels, but they always made it lev, has assumed full
