oth money he gave to him to spend {or campaign purposes. General Edwards of the Insular Bu- yeni, General Franklin Bell and many “other officers of the army also will be [gmmoned as witnesses. fhe committee was informed that a ‘wrt of the Ray papers have been stolen ‘from the War Department, or were re- ‘poved by orders and for many years Ye office of the Chief of Staff of the ? ny and the office of the Adjutant- igmeral, have been making copies of gficial papers, to meet just such an igmergency. On receiving this information the com- pittee immediately excused Major-Gen- “eral Ainsworth, the former Adjutant- General, and started an investigation ‘joking, to the discovery of the copies ‘@the missing files and also to ascertain whether other important documents jaye been removed from the depart- ment. Pending further search for the miss- ing documents, the committee held no meeting today. The discovery’ that ‘ese communications in connection iyith the Ray charges and threatened gurtmartial proceedings, are gone is mgarded as of the utmost importance 'W the committee. The committee was advised that for many years copies were made of all pa- pers that were likely to prove embar- msing to either faction of the army; that the opposing factions then secreted these papers and held them ready, in the event that an investigation should ever be ordered and the originals were Missing. It is a penitentiary offense ti destroy public documents and the ‘mmittee has already taken this phase of the case into consideration. 'foday it was declared the commit- ‘te has found copies of the missing Meuments, prepared. by an officer who ght the originals might disappear. nal an effort is being made to tk resportsibility for the missing orig-

‘Tt is said that a friend of Major-Gen- #al Ainsworth has copies of the letters Which have been removed from the files ‘wn that if the other officers testify in fgard to them, the copies will be placed ‘ff evidence. Major-General Ainsworth will then tke the stand and is expected to tell a ifory of departmental politics and office Walousies that will throw the Ray inves- tation proper into insignificance.

EAD MAN'S’ WINK AND SMILES TRY A SRREANTS NERVE A “dead man,” who winked smiled, and moved his limbs in a per- fectly lifelike manner, got on the nerves of Sergt. Harrington and Patrolman Chase at Union Station Tuesday morn- ing. The man arrived on an Iron Mountain train at 8 a. m., and a friend who was traveling with him, called Chase in to take the ‘body’ away. He found it ly- ing on a cot. “Be careful not to drop him,” said the friend. “He's dead.” Chase, assisted »y station ushers, very reverently carried the cot into the mid- way, just outside gate No. 12,. and sol- emnly waited there for further orders. Then Harrington appeared. “Here's a dead man, Sergeant,”’ said Chase. “What shall I do with him?” Harrington approached the cot and the “corpse” winked at him. Then ries smiled and drew up “‘its’’ left leg. “I don’t believe he’s dead,” said the Sergeant. “Ofcourse I'm not dead,” said the “hody”’ emphatically. ‘I’m just sick and I’m waiting to take a Louisville & Nash- vill. train for Henderson, Ky., at 11 o'clock.”’ At this juncture the man’s friend ap- peared and relieved the police of fur- ther. responsibility. They neglected to take ‘'e name of the ‘‘dead man’”’ for the Coroner. and

SHE MADE ALIMONY LOAN Hammond Admits He Borrowed Money From No. 2 When First Wite Got a Divorce.

A verdict for the defendant was re- turned Tuesday in the $7000 damage suit for alleged alienation brought by Mrs, Nettie S. Hammond against Mrs. Alice Bresler-Hammond, who succeéded her as the wife of Richard Hammond. The case was heard in Judge Muench’s court. The second Mrs. Hammond denied all the first wife’s charges as to aliena- tion. The present Mrs. Hammond testified she met Hammond the first time in December, 1907, when he, as a deputy constable, served a writ for her. She denied she had known him 20 years, as the plaintiff testified. According to the defendant, Ham- mond came to her home to board after he and his first wife separated in June, 1908. She said that when Mrs. Hammond No. 1 spoke to her about Hammond, she said she had taken him in because she felt sorry for him, as he had said his wife drove him from home. ‘‘When I heard the woman’s story I sympathized with her, and offered to help her,’’ the defendant testified. “I had similar trouble, and knew what it was.”’ Hammond testified for his present wife to the effect that she had not won his love from the plaintiff. He said he and Mrs. Nettie Hammond had lived unhappily for years, and that they could not get along. She got a divorce from him in June, 1910, on grounds of deser- tion and non-support with $300 alimony in gross. He admitted he borrowed part of the alimony from his present wife. The plaintiff. lives at 1722 North Sarah street, and the defendant at 5562A East- On avenue.

creer erent TE Rheumatism is a favorite name for pains that rack the back, the joints, the limbs, and almost any other part. A good deal of the pain that is laid to rheumatism is really due to kidney weakness, and an excess of uric acid ‘n the blood. When the blood is over: loaded with uric acid, it forms into erystals, which are deposited in the muscles, joints, along the walls of the arteries, and in the sheaths of nerves. The movement of a nerve or muscle that contains uric acid crystals causes sharp, intense, darting pains and in time starts inflamed swellings. Uric acid has a great liking for the joints, and often combines with other chemicals into chalky or stony parti- cles. These deposits stiffen the joints, making them extremely painful, and in severe cases changing the bones. Rheumatic pain in the thigh. is called sciatica; in the muscles of the back. lumbago; in the face, neural. gia; in various other locations, neuri- tis. Associated diseases are gravel, gout, dropsy and heart trouble. Certainly, a good kidney medicine must be beneficial, and that is why .

By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. N sheer goodness of heart, the Odeon audience, -before whom the New York Symphony Orchestra played, being discouragingly small in numbers, Walter Damrosch on Monday evening conducted his players through the best tone-picturing of the Ride of thé Valky- that has even heard in St. Louis—given as an encore number with as much willingness as though the house had been chock full. Happily, however, it was a very ap- preciative audience, and it may have been for this reason that Mr. Damrosch made the terrible Wagnerian storm-sis- ters sweep so splendidly through the tem- pest-riven clouds of German mythology, voicing their wild cries of hero-cheering above the shrieking of the gale. Whatever his reason, he illustrated so majestically the scene-painting possibili- ties of an orchestral score that none who heard will ever be able to forget ithe moment’s teaching. Finely, also the | audience applauded—it was in many re- 'spects the most memorable event of a |very memorable evening. | The Valkyrie encore followed an ad- mirable musical relation of Siegfried’s Rhine journey from “Die Gotterdaem- erung,” in which the martial brasses ‘so dear to old Richard Wagner’s crea- tive muse contended magnificently with ‘the strings for first honors in epic ut- 'terance. And the program in its com- | pleteness was confined to Beethoven and Wagner, the two masters of whom Wal- ter Damrosch and his men are far and away the most competent interpreters on this continent. The Jeethoven Fourth Symphony opened the program and was exquisitely played, so exquisitely, indeed, as vastly to strengthen the appeal of this least characteristic work of the dreamful Titan whose nine symphonies are still supreme in the world of musical im- agery. Its lighter phases, and especially the dainty minuet in the third movement, were presented with an illuminative ap- preciation of their poetic joyousness of spirit which makes even one’s memory of the achievement a vital thing of ret- rospective delight, and there were cer- tain moments in the presentation of the second movement when the singing of the string’ section was of ravishing sweetness. First Violinist Alexander Saslavsky greatly distinguished himself in the beautiful dream score from ‘‘Tristan ries been

and Isolde,”’ a violin study of surpassing charmfulness. His technical mastery of his instrument seemed well-nigh per- fect, and, best of all, he revealed a temperamental insight which developed to the fullest the loveliness of a compo- sition singularly susceptible of mutila- tion in incompetent hands. His interpretation so greatly pleased its hearers that surely only the absence of Mr. Damrosch from the stage, dur- ing the period of long-continued ap- plause, prevented a favorable response in the way of an encore. As it was, lr. Saslavsky was kept rising and bowing for many minutes, Miss Gertrude Rennyson, dear to St. Louis song-lovers since the old Castle Square Opera days of the ’90’s, was the night’s vocal soloist, being heard, with the orchestra,’s accompaniment, in the “Mh, Perfidio!’’ arla from Beethoven's ‘‘Kidelio,’’ and in Isolde’s Liebestod from Wagner's “‘Tristan and Isolde.” Miss Rennyson’s voice has grown fine- ly in volume and purity of late years, and she sings with a noble earnestness. But she is not yet a-great Wagnerian soprano, her Isolde number being much inferior in value to the ‘Fidelio’ aria, and not at all acceptable as a satisfy- ing utterancé of the supremest love- song of Wagner’s writing. It is not necessary that Wagner's women shall obey old Lear’s injunction to ‘“‘blow, winds, and crack your cheeks!” but it is imperative that they possess heroic tones capable of impres- sive utterance in conjunction with a Waegnerian orchestra. Miss Rennyson’s voice was overborne by last night’s em- inently correct orchestral fervor, and it may not justly be claimed that, follow- ing the modern method, she attained a tri-mph in Wagnerian singing. Old-fashioned or new, Wagner must be sung forthrightly, because he at- tuned his vocal scores to fit the throats of the mighty folk whom his legendary music-dramas present to our imagina- tions, and a shirking of this combined musical and dramatic demand means a failure to realize Wagner's intent. Miss Rennyson did not measure up to the true Wagnerian stature, and, precisely to this extent, she was a disappointment in an environment where Gadski, Frem- stad or Nordica would have been a joy to one’s soul. The prelude and finale from “Tristan and Isolde,’’ Which included Miss Ren- nyson's singing of the Liehbestod, was played with admirable effectiveness by Mr. Damrosch's men, closing an evens ing of genuinely great achievement. KNEISEL QUARTET RECITAL. Cameo-like completeness was shown in the offerings of the Kneisel Quartet in its recital at the Wednesday Club, audi- torilum Monday night. The dominating note of Franz Knetj- sel's first violin was, perhaps, best heard in the vigorous movements from the Debussy Quartet in G minor, while Julius Roentgen and wLouls Svecenski, second violin and viola, had a greater opportunity in the Mozart and Schu- mann quartets, William Willeke, violon- cellist, rendered the only solo of the evening, the Bach sonata in D major, in as fitting manner as ever Guilmant played that great composer's works on the Festival Hall organ. An enthusias- tic audience of music lovers beard the recital.

A Reasonable Plea For the Stomach If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Digestive Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do Its Work? Especially When It Costs Nothing to Try. Not with drugs, but with a rein- forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitro- genous ferments, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof posi- tive that some of ‘these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets con- tain nothing but these natural ele- ments necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, sup- ply what these organs need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but nat- ural digestives, Chemical Laboratory. Telegraphic address, “Diffindo,’” London. Tele- phone No. 11029 Central, 20 Cullum St., Fenchurch St., E. C. London, 9th Aug, 1905. I have analyzed most carefully a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets (which I bought myself at a city ehemist’s shop for the purpose), manufactured by the F. A. Stuart Co., 86 Clarkenweii Road, London, E. C., and have to report that I can- not find any trace of vegetable or mineral poisons. Knowing the in- gredients of the tablets, I am of opinion that they are admirably adaptable for the purpose for which they are intended. (Signed) John R. Brooke, F. I. C., F. Cc. §S. There is no secret in the prepara- tion of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Their composition ig commonly known among physicians, as is shown by the recommendations of 40,000 licensed physicians in the United States and Canada.” They are the most popular of all remedies for in- digestion, dyspepsia, water brash, insomnia, loss of appetite, melan- cholia, constipation, dysentery and kindred diseases originating from improper dissolution and agssimila- tion of foods, because they are thor- oughly reliable and harmless to man or child. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are at once a safe and a powerful remedy. one grain of the active principle in these tablets being strong enough (by test) to digest 3000 grains of steak, eggs and other foods.

BACK TO SWEET SIXTEEN Ladies Will Find the Follow- ing Experience of Mrs. Blair Full of Interest.

“For months,” says Mrs. T. S. Blair of this place, “my health was very bad on account of womanly troubles. The doctor’s medicine did me no good, “I was very weak and nervous and some days I could not be up. “I asked my husband to get me a bottle of Cardui to try and before I had taken one bottle I was up and doing my work. Before I com- menced to take Cardui I had such spells. I was not able to do any- thing. Now, I have taken only three bottles of Cardui in all, and I feel fine. “A few months ago I 135 pounds. Now I weigh 158, and do all my own work—cook, wash and milk—and feel like I did when I was ‘sweet sixteen. Taking Car- dui has cured me.”’—Pollock, La. If every sick and ailing woman would only take Cardui, the wom- an’s tonic, as Mrs. Blair did, wom- anly troubles would not be so wide- spread as they are now, for the curative value of this well-known remedy, in al] such cases, has been proven by its more than 50 years’ of genuine success. If you are a woman try Cardui. You will appreciate its Mnic, build- ing effect on the womanly constitu- tion. Begin today. N. B.— Werte to: Ladies’ Advisory Dept...

ROIS 2 SHOW FIRMS, INDICTED: REBATING CHARGED Federal Grand Jury Acts Against Vanderbilt Lines and Columbia Co. of New Jersey.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Four indictments for allez 1 rebating were returned to- day by the Federal grand jury, the de- fendants being three railroad com- panies, two theatrical] concerns and four individuals. in return for the pure hase of railroad tickets is declared to be the medium by which the alleged rebating was accom- plished. Those indicted are: Harry J. Rhein, general passenger agent of the Big Four Railway. William Underwood, assistant general passenger agent of the Michigan Cen- tral Railroad. ~ Rudolph K. Hynicka of Cincinnati, di- rector of the Columbia Theatrical Amusement Co. James E. Fennessy of Cincinnati, di- rector and secretary of the Empire Cir- cuit Co. Railroads Indicted. The Columbia Theatrical New Jersey. The Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis Railway Co. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway. The Michigan Central Railroad Co. The Heuck Opera House Co. of Cin- cinnati. The Amusement Chicago & Kederal act which is alleged to have been violated provides a penalty of a fine of not more than $5000 for a corporation and a fine of not more than $000 or imprisonment of not more than two years or both, for a person guilty of such violation. Large sums of money are said to have been involved in the alleged rebating. It is asserted that during the theatrical season of 1909-10, Hynicka was paid $9292 by the roads, and during the sea- son of 1910-11, $9677. During the season of 1909-10, allege Federal investigators, l‘ennessy received $8664. He is; not ac- cused of being a party to the alleged rebating during the season of 1910-11. It is charged that the representatives of the railroads, all of which are ‘Van- derbilt lines,’’ as an inducement to se- cure the business of the theatrical com- panies, offered and gave them adver- tising for theater programs. The Columbia Theatrical Amusement Co. and the Empire Circus Co., the headquarters of both of which were in New York, operate a chain of burlesque theaters, and control about seventy-five theatrical companies, averaging 30 per- sons each. These companies are trans- ported each week from one city to an- other, and the aggregate of their pas- senger fareg is very large. ' The minimum rate was 2 for theatrical companies, but, according to the Government, it was agreed by railroad officials that the Vanderbilt lines would refund to Hynicka and Fen- for their respective corporations, cents a mile nessy, 25 per cent of the lawful fares of their various companies in consideration of their influence in giving to the named railroads the business. Charged to Advertising. In order that the railroads could ac- count on their books for the 25 per cent, the Government says, it was decided to Hynicka there- upon organized the Cincinnati Railroad Program Advertising Co., it is alleged, This company contracted for adver- tising space in the theater programs in Toledo, Indianapolis, St. Louis and other cities, and this space was used by Hynicka to displace an ad- vertisement of one of the Vanderbilt lines, it is charged. He paid for the space the publishers’ regular price—ranging from $2 to $7 a week—and received from the railroads each week. it is charged, 25 per cent of the fare of the theatrical companies that week to cities where the advertisement was published. For instance, the short line passenger fare from Chicago to Cincinnati, for theatrical companies, is $6 a passenger, and for 30 persons is $180. Twenty-five this sum is $45, and that amount, it is alleged was paid to Hy- nicka for the Columbia Amusement Co. and was charged by the railroad to ad- per cent of vertisement —_— + —— a Kate—F Sein ‘that fellow and marry me. get the Giamond ring na ers on credit.

Three Wagon Loads of Patrol- men Catch Derailed Engine. CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—A freight engine on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ran wild for about two miles in the yards here today, while its engineer and fireman were absent from the cab. Yard employes notified three stations in the nighborhood. A patrol wagon full of policemen from each station hurried out to find the engine. It was derailed when they came upon it. “What would we have done if we had sighted the speeding engine?” ask- ed a fat and perspiring policeman of another. ‘‘I haven't thought of that,’’ he respondeds Then the wheezing pat- rol horses were trotted back to their Stations and the officers reported the police

There's a reason for this early start m the part of the local American laaguers. Boss Wallace and Owner Hedges are out to win the spring series fom the Cardinals and they propose give the Brownies every opportunity / condition themselves before the pro- Mason jousts begin. For that reason Wallace will beat Bresnahan to the bac- | Mer by about seven days. The Cardinals hit for training quarters Me. 9. By that time Bresnahan will Mave his full squad in tow. He will lake all his men to West Baden for ii-days’ stay, whereas Wallace is con- tnt to take only the veterans to the Indiana watering place.

Quan Lambert’s Presidential Campaign to Be Object Lesson for Taft Leaders

St. Louis Candidate for American Eowling Con- gress Job Will Have Quarters Like a Dream From an Aladdin’s Lamp Yarn.

“Talk about your presidential electior the guys that are going to manage Taft’ “Sure, we got a president to elect next month at Chicago. The bowling world by which I mean the American Bowling Congress, has long been without an ade- juate head. Of course it has had a neck and shoulders, but the rest of its upper works hasn't always been as classy as some we know. ‘“‘And that’s what brought us around to running Wooster Lambert of this city for the presidency of the organization.

Walter Rehg, one of the many St. Louis boys with the Pittsburg club (even if V. Campbell has been detached) has signed his contract. Walter is a shortstop and will try for Wagner's job. Bob Connery brought Walter out last year at Hartford, Conn. Boston bought the young shortstop, but Pitts- burg claimed him for the waiver price.

Well, he’s a photographer now in Cincin- nati, playing a little ball in the South be- times. Harry Gaspar, the Reds’ flinger, also is a photographer, if anybody cares to know,

If these baseball magnates would quit wrangling over the National Agreement and frame a chunk of legislation which would provide free score cards, nickel pop and more ham in the park sandwiches, they would register a much bigger hit with the fans, the people who furnish the money Which buys the champagne which makes magnates say things they don’t mean.

President Jimmy McAleer of the Boston Red Sox says that he has a team that is going to make a sure thing of second piace next summer and if some of Connie Mack's youngsters happen to have a bad year he thinks the Red Sox will bump them out of the flag.

PUTS UP “STALL”

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 20.—It's in the realms of possibility that the feath- erweight boxing championship title of the world may change hands Thursday, for on that.day Abe Attell, the holder of the title, and Johnny Kilbane, the claimant for it, will fight for the honors. They will go 20 rounds—or less, as the fates may decree—at the Pacific Athletic Club at Vernon, a suburb of this place. Zach lad will have to scale 122 pounds ringside. This is the first battle that has heen fought for this title in several years. Attell has been the recognized champion for six years. Kilbane has come along wonderfully during the last two years and by his victory over Joe Rivers, whom he knocked out in 16 rounds on Sept. 4, 1911, he tells without words his high class. This will be the second time that At- tell and Kilbane have met in a ring. They fought a 19-round bout in Kansas ‘City, Oct. 24, 1910. Attell got the de- cision. Kilbane never was satisfied over the result of the fight and his one aim since then has been to win sufficient victories to force Attell into another match. This he has accomplished. Attell Will “Try.” will be no question, say the fight fans of this city, of the bout being on the level. Attell will have to do his best in order to win or else he will be thrown out of the ring. Referee Charley Eyton has come out strong against any possible frame-up by Attell. He has told his friends that the first sign he detects that Attell is not doing his best that he (Eyton) will take Abe by the back of the neck and hurl him through the ropes. British “Sportsmanship.” An instance of how they referee fichts in England: Joe Bush was fighting an English favor- ite. Aside of changing his countenance, Joe did everything but commit murder. The referee gtepped to the center of the ring after the final round. “Gentlemen,” he shouted, There i Me ae grand = contest. Our American § friend struck our bov some teiling blows, He also Knocked down our boy in every round but the first. These points must be conceded to the _ visitor. As to our boy, he received the punishment without flinching. His endurance was noteworthy. Furthermore, gentlemen, he struck the last blow of the battle. Constrained as I am to favor our visitor from the States, the fact that our boy ended up so valiantly compels me to give Britain's champion the verdict.’’ M. A. C. ARRANGES SEVEN BOUTS FOR NEXT SHOW Seven bouts are on the program of the next monthly boxing meet of the Missouri Athletic Club, to take place Saturday night. Not- withstanding the dropping of 18 men from the amateur ranks, including practically all of the old-time stars of the game here, In- structor Eddie Randall has managed to dig up some fair material for this show, which will be held in the club’s gymnasium. Mullen, Bishop, Sherman, Claves, Lyons and others on the card are improving with

each appearance, and with more experience will ably take the place of the departed stars. Following is the card: 11f-pound class—George Mullen, unat- tached, vs. Oliver Bishop, B. M. G. 110-pound class—Tom Harrigan, unat- tached, vs. Andrew Capra, unattached. 115-pound class—-George Schacht, unat- tached, vs. Jack Lydon, unattached. 135-pound class—John Jackson, M.

FAVORED PROPERTY RIGHT

Elder Pitney Was Vice-Chancel- lor Long Time and Rulings Upheld Combinations.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, tice, seems to have been confused both with his father and with Vice-Chancellor Bergen in the made by labor leaders appointment. protests against his ing employes of Frank & Dugan silk mills, the basis of the lowa protest, Was Siven by Vice-Chancellor H. C. Pitney in 1901. The elder Pitney, who died Jan. 10, 1911, was a vice-chancellor for two full terms of seven years and for four years of a third term and while on the bench seemed to favor the big indus- trial combinations and the rights of property. The decision declaring picketing un- lawful in the case of the Glass Bottle Blowers’ Association, charged against Mahlon Pitney yesterday, was given five years ago by Vice-Chancellor James Ber- gen, and was in direct line with the H. C. Pitney ruling in the Frank & Dugan case. Senators Cummins and Kenyon re- ceived from A, L. Urick of Des Moines, lo., president of the Iowa Federation of Labor, an address’ protesting against Chancellor Pitney’s appointment. Urick declares the appointment would be in- imical to the interests of the _ entire working class of the United States and cites several of Chancellor Pitney’s re- cent decisions in proof. Says Pitney ¥s for Property Rights He refers especially to the New Jer- sey case of Frank and Dugan against Herald as showing that the new Asso- ciate Justice would be found pledged to property rights as against human rights, and quotes the following words from the decision: “What right have Frank and Dugan to come here with this bill of complaint, seeking to protect these females in their undoubted right to walk the streets of Paterson unmolested? The answer to this question is that they are servants of Frank and Dugan. I do not use the word ‘servant’ in any menial sense. Any person who works for another is a servant in the eyes of the law. ‘‘Now the relation of master and ser- vant being shown to exist, the law is quite clear that no person has the right to entice away another's servant. The right of the master to have his servant continue in his employment by any third party is a property right so recognized by the law.’’

Pitney Inherited Wealth From Client; Once Stopped Sunday Baseball, NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Mahlon Pit- ney has been an active and prominent figure in New Jersey politics and was twice a candidate for the governorship. In the revolt against United States Senator Dryden, which finally resulted in the election of Senator Frank Briggs, Judge Pitney was urged by reformers, though he never developed much strength, and on final ballot got only four votes. He always has been a political friend of former Gov, Franklin Murphy. The Judge's first public office was corporate counsel of the town of Dover. There he won the friendship of George Richards, the richest man in Dover, and acted to some extent as his legal adviser. Nevertheless, there was im- mense surprise when Richards died that he left to his only son the income of $60,000, distributed about as much among other relatives and left the residue of his $1,000,000 estate to Miss Mary Greer, a friend; a Mrs. Heather, a distant cousin of his wife; Albert Richards, his half-brother, and to Pitney. On the bench Justice Pitney tempo- rarily stopped Sunday baseball in New Jersey by enjoining the Sunday games of the Jersey City team. His most important decision was when he upheld the constitutionality of the Duffield act declaring the second-class property of railroads and canals ject to taxation at local rates, adding 3,600,000 to the annual revenue of the State. It was charged when, in 1898, he retired from Congress to run for the State Senate, he had done so out of deference to the wishes of the trusts. sub-

JOSEPH PULITZER. by drawing a narrow, lexicon distinction between the verbs to “fix” and to “regulate.” The court of greatest authority in the world flatly declined to give any such definition to the adjective ‘‘re- publican” as would limit the people’s prerogatives. The effect of the decision might be asserted to be a victory for the rights. of the states. That is, however, only an incidental effect. It is rath- fine themselves to the judicial jurisdiction and should not legislate by reading things into the law. To define “republican” is the province of Congress, not of the courts, according to the de- cision. It seems, then, that Congress might pass an enactment prohibiting the initiative and refer- endum, but pending any such doubtful exercise of

As a device for emergency use, it is likely to spread slowly to additional states. That so unwieldy a piece of machinery, involving 30 much waste motion and loss through friction, will ever come into frequent use among practical Americans is hardly to be expected, except in small territorial] jurisdictions. The future aim should be to simplify and perfect its operation. The absence in many states of any method of attesting the genuineness of petition signatures in- vites gigantic frauds.

+ «+ oe ee THE SHAME OF TENNESSEE. A Shelbyville (Tenn.) mob, by its two at- tacks upon three negroes on trial for the murder of a railroad detective, once more holds up to shame a state which has an unsavory lynching record and a county that is notorious even in a state noted for lynchings of negroes. The negroes were under arrest. The evidence had already proven their guilt. They could not have escaped paying the penalty of their crime. There was absolutely no such excuse for mob in- terference as is generally put forward when a Tennessee mob drags a helpless, terrified negro from his cell and burns him at the stake. Yet, on the courtroom steps, the last place where mob rule should show itself, the three unarmed ne- groes were fired upon by the mob! This affront to the court and intolerable ex- ample of bloodthirstiness should not be permitted to go unpunished. The negro offender is entitled to all the rights accorded the white man under the law. The court is entitled to respect. The law must be obeyed. If the authorities of Shelby sounty fail to prosecute and punish the men who shot down three prisoners alreadyeimn the shadow of the gallows, they will not have done their duty to the State. If they fear to act, the State of Tennessee owes it to herself, and to her sister commonwealths, to purge herself of this brand of crime and wipe out the offences of the past by enforcing law and order and sternly repressing lynching for the future.

The Wilkesbarre man who sold his nomina- tion for a local office and spent the proceeds in a riotous trip to New York is endeavoring to attract further publicity by a visit to Washing- ton and an intimation to the home folks that a consultation with President Taft has inspired him to become a candidate for Congress. Evidently the grand jury of his home county has not yet done its duty by inquiring into the financial deal by which McDavitt retired from his recent candidacy. The lack of _ political morality in Wilkesbarre that condones such dol- lars-and-cents politics is to be rezretted. Yet—for all our squeamishness in the mat- ter—we should be the last to say that McDavitt is not a fitting companion of Dalzell or Pen- rose or Oliver, or that he would be less honestly elected or serve with less honor to himself and his constituents than Stephenson or ee @¢ Lorimer.

The strikers have lost $1,000,000 in wages. The employers have lost $1,000,000 profits. The State of Massachusetts has paid $100,000 and voted another $100,000 for military protection of the textile plants. Such waste ought to be made impossible by law. Unfortunately, Which in = na- tional politics seems to be a sort of pocket bor- ough for the textile tariff barons and mill bosses, iz not that may curb the greed of its Republican grand dukes, or give its workers justice at an expense of a dollar less in dividends to its money magnates. Less than a month ago a lecturer before the Boston Y. W. C. A. declared the average yearly wage of the woman worker in that city was leas than $239. While wives and children of strikers iu Lawrence are starving under the muzzles of militia rifles, the Massachusetts Legislative Com- mittee on Labor is hearing evidence that more than six hundred women and girls are employed as coremakers in Massachusetts foundries. If the money-mad millmen are not halted, the nation will probably soon be treated to the spectacle of women at the forge, welding chains, as they do in the infamous Black District of England. The tariff barons will resort to anything to exact their extra unearned pennies of dividends. These tariff robbers should be shorn of the protection they refuse to share with their em- ployes. Massachusetts will do well to force labor and capital to arbitrate future differences by law, instead of leaving labor to violence and the mill bosses to the protection of the militia, Massachusetts, strong on any measures For drawing a revolver on a policeman, an employe of the Municipal Playgrounds Commit- tee is arrested, His arrest develops the fact that he was three years in prison for burglary and escaped with four of a ten years’ sentence for robbery through the intercession of St. Louis women. Thus do we surround our children with refining influences as they enjoy the municipal playgrounds. La Le > i i A ANDREW D. WHITE’S WARNING. Dr. Andrew D. White speaks optimistically, on the whole, in his forecast of the future of the country in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. But he is emphatic in his warning that something must be done to prevent industrial disaster. He says: “Labor and capital have got to agree upon some practical working basis, for it is the public which suffers most when they fail to agree and once the public becomes convinced that it is nothing more than the plaything of two completely selfish interests, it will only be a question of time until each side will be stripped of its power to injure and annoy the people it is supposed to serve. Dr. White holds that Socialism cannot triumph in the United States. On this point he says: Every property owner, every man whose in- dustry has raised him above the average level and every man who owns a little piece of land or a little shop of his own would be opposed to such a step. Precisely. But what about such Americans as those found in the steel industry, where reduced wages and increased cost of living are rapidly converting skilled workers into enthusiastic So- cialists? One of these men, in Sunday’s Post- Dispatch says: “Now, I'm a Socialist; the steel mills have made me one. I wasn’t thinking about So- cialism, or very much about politics; except to vote for the high tariff I knew the company wanted, until I began to be pinched by hunger, Then’s when a man begins to think. It has been said that hungry men can’t think. Hungry Americans can and do. Dr. White, secure in his college library, still knows what is the matter and the remedy. Production is modern- ized; distribution is on medieval lines. The wolf still waits at too many doors. And Americans refuse to starve peacefully. +o ————____—_ The Joplin convention plans to send eight dele- gates at large to Baltimore, each empowered to one-half of a vote. Why only eight?

In the task of maintaining school discipline, Miss Ada Byers, teacher at Millersburg, Pa., en- countered furious resistance from two brotners. One of the two attacked her with a knife. The teaching staffs of our -publie schools are too deficient in the masculine element. The ex- cess of feminism often gives such shocking re- sults. When schoolboys reach a certain age, a dominating masculine presence .s indispensable. The strong arm of a manly man is needed to re. strain from violence, to enforce authority, to teach the chivalry all bovs and men owe to

In estimates sent from Washington as to the probable strength of different Democratic can- didates on the first balloting at Baltimore, Clark heads the list with 186 votes. Underwood is given 104, Gaynor 90, Foss 36, Marshall 30. Martin of Virginia 24 and Baldwin of Connecti- cut 14. To Gov. Harmon are assigned only 44 votes from his own State of Ohio. A roster of Democratic leaders who were for- merly for Harmon, but who now are working for Clark would be formidable. It is conceded that some of these seem really to have become con- vinced that Clark is the more available candi- date.

ip, A dy a ae LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Law of Progress. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “Moreover the law entered that offense might abound’—Romans 5, 20. “One person in every 900 is in prison in the United States in spite of the prevalent pardon habit.’’—Editorial Post-Dispatch. Minor’s splendid cartoon, “Prey,” isa pregnant an- swer to “Nietzschean” in the Post-Dispatch of Feb 17. His sneer at cold, hunger and human woes, his threat of “death and bars of steel” for penniless, hopeless men, spells “misanthrope.” His warning of the far more merciless ferocity and greater cunning than the lion and tiger is, alas! atrociously true! Men brutes are never satiated, Their ferocity and cunning is known to every homeless man, every starving mother who holds her skeleton child to her flaccid breast. Law and order are germane to progress and civilization, but no human statute, steel-clad bullet or bar of steel will ever blot out the Law of Life from Na- ture’s code. “No laws of man shall override the settled laws of Nature.” “Nor were they framed today—nor yvesterday—-but from all eternity have been and to all eternity will they endure.” And Sophocles wrote a living truth. “Nietz- schean” complacently sneers at woe. Warm, well fed and hidden behind a nom-de-plume, he defends the system that starves a million to enable a lazy brute and his progeny to wallow in luxury. “Nietz- schean’’—revolution is in the jungle seeking its prey; will you cower and chatter when it springs?

I would Buggest a net or some soft substance bé placed under the elevator between the first floor and basement in all office buildings and kept in ser- Viceable condition, thus preventing the crushing death of coming in contact with a concrete floor. J. F. McCARRON, The Near-Side Stop. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, “A Wading Visitor” evidently meant a “Waliting Visitor’? when he says that the new street car ordinance should be placed at the head of freak- ish legislation. He gives no reason for his as- sertion. The new system is not an experiment. It has been going on in larger cities for years. St. Louts has looked into it and found it O K. In Chicago the new system is used only in the down- town district, after that the cars stop at far side. I credit the local system, stopping at near side throughout the city. In Chicago the new system has lightened the traffic and street car blockades. For instance, at rush hours morning and evening. There are three or four cars lined up waiting at a crossing. The leader stops at the near side. After he once starts crossing the street his follower knows that he will go right ahead without stopping at farther side, and he follows close behind. With the old system a motorman never knew whether his leader would stop at the farther corner or not. It was a case of wait and see or take a chance that he wasn’t. If the leader did stop the car following would stop right in the tracks of the street crossing and cause a general blockade of traffic. Then there are not apt to be as many ecbances for collisions. I think the new system an improvement, in fact, I Know it is, as ¥ was conductor on the Chicago street car lines for many years, working under both systems, and ap- proves the later. ic hi > -_-—-— A Good Example. fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I wish to impart some real news through your columns to the public that will doubtless surprise u great many of your readers, Last evening, while going home on a Page car, I saw two young men get up and give their seats to two ladies, Just think of it!

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch The remarks made in the letters of the people in regard to “broken homes” attracted my atten- tion. The correspondents seem to think that it is the fault of either the man or girl. None of them se@m to understand the root of the evil. In my estimation the economic dependence of the girl is the main cause of this evil, as well as of many others. Girls are forced to support themselves ladylike on $3, $4 and $65 per week.

A SERVILE DEMOCRACY. From the New York World. Under the rules adopted by the Demo- cratic State Committee, the New York delegation to the Democratic national convention will be the most servile dele- gation that any state has ever sent to any national convention. Hitherto the district delegates to a Democratic national convention have been elected by the district delegates to the State convention. Under the rule adopted by Murphy's committee the dis- 9 trict delegates are to be elected by the State convention as a whole. Under the unit rule of Democratic na- tional conventions, Murphy, by control- ling 46 of the delegates from New York, can vote the 90 delegates as a unit. Under. the rule which his subservient State committee has adopted Murphy can not only vote the 90 delegates as a unit, but he can appoint them as well. There is to be no minority representa- tion in the delegation. Nobody is to go to the national convention except on Murphy’s terms, by and with the con- sent of Murphy. This is not Democracy. tion of Democracy. It violates fundamental principle of government which the Democratic party to champion and advocate.

NEED OF BIG POLITICS, From the Burlington ¢Vt.) Free Press Writers have drawn a parallel be- tween the seething year of 191! and that history-making time of 1848, and even compare it with that terrible red year of 1789. when the smoldering hate which underlay the French Revolution burst into flame. This year of 1912 and the years that follow are as sure to be filled with great events and _ greater problems as one day is sure to follow another. Now if ever we need a thresh- ing out of theories which shal! separate the grain from the chaff. Now if ever in our history we need a thorough dis- cussion of issues and principles: big politics as preceded the Civil and not the petty which followed it. Garibaldi” and near throwing

She pulled herscif, panting, over the ledge, and wei to Jeff's head. “Jeff, the hardest is to come; can you do it? O, Jeff, don’t fail now; if you do, we will all go down together.” She half sobbed the words ‘tnto Jeff's ears, then called bravely: “All ready, Hiram; keep yourself off the rocks.’’ “All right, Wilma,’’ he answered. The last word was drowned by a crash; the juniper had lost its roothold and gone dowr the mountain with loose rocks, Hiram started with it, but brought up with a jerk upon the lasso; Jeff was not prepared for it and his feet slipped. “Jeff! Jeff! Get up! Get up! Jeff!’ Wilma cried, and clung to the bridle, pulling with all her strength. Jeff scrambled, struggled wildly;. sometimes he seemed about to slide over the cliff, then. one mighty plunge and he had gained a firm foothold and started up the trail. He was blown and trembling when Hiram called faintly: “Whoa, Jeff.’’ Jeff obeyed, turning his head with a whinny of recognition of the voice. Wilraa rai, back, knelt by Hiram, took his head upon her lap and burst out crying: ‘“‘Hiram, my Hiram!”’ she sobbed, kiss- ing him again and again. ‘‘Look,’’ she said, pointing downwards.

F aga some of the American Indian tribes of the Southwestern United States, says a writer in the Wide World Magazine, there is a curious custom of men occasionally assuming the work of women as a life occupation. This, when it occurs, is voluntarily undertaken, and seems to be due to a preference for feminine labors, the man sinking his identity as far as possible by assuming woman's garb. Pueblo Indians of Zuni, N. M., do their share of the regulation woman’s work in the household of which they happen to be members—grinding corn, making bread, carrylug water, etc.—and seem thoroughly respected. One would be quite deceived by their costumes into supposing them to be women, did not their deep-toned voices betray their masculinity. ——L—__=— TD Home Method of Removing Wrinkles and Double Chin (Saturday Evening Herald.) ; Ve women know how important double chins, wrinkles and enlarged pores and blackheads are to us. Why, they are almost a matter of life and death to us, sometimes. Anyway, we are glad to find out that common thermodized jelly will quickly and permanently remove them. Just get a small tin box of it from your drug- gist and rub it in freely into your face every day. It penetrates through the outer skin and reaches the fibrous tissue beneath needing heat-energy and nourishment. Pure thermodized jelly will very quickly bring about really marvelous results. With wrin- kles gone, the next thing is to renew the complexion, and the best way to do this is to remove the old one. This is being done at home right along by using pure coleated balsam on the face and gradually semeving the old particles of dead cuticle which cover up the natural beauty of the skin. is is the real secret of many of the soft and radiant complexions that ex- cite the envy of women and admira-
