Senator Tillman, in his declaration that the South Carolina delegation should go to the National Democratic Convention uninstructed, approves part of the plan urged by the Post- Dispatch to insure Democratic success this year. The South Carolina delegation will be free to choose the best man. But Senator Tillman stands for the undemocratic unit rule. He be- lieves in over-riding the sentiment of the people of each Congressional District by giving control of the entire State delegation to a majority of the South Carolina delegates. Oklahoma, while she divided her delegation be- tween Clark and Wilson, rejected a resolution indorsing Clark and did not instruct her dele- gation to vote as a unit. After casting a divided vote on the first ballot, the delegates will be free to follow their judgment, and represent their constituents. Missouri placed the unit’ rule on her delegation until Speaker Clark’s candidacy shall become hopeless. Then each delegate can vote his pref- erence, The National Convention free the party from the undemocratic methods which hamper it and which prevent national has the power to conventions from being thoroughly representa- It should follow the example of the Republican party in the convention which defeated Grant’s third-term ambition by abolish- ing the unit rule..

This action would restore to the party processes which are funda- mental in republican gov@rnment. When the convention abolishes the unit rule it should also abolish the two-thirds majority rule. The two rules combined have given too much power to the state bosses; who manage by hook or crook to get a majority of state delega- tions. It enables them to use the state delega- tions for deals which menace the interests of the party and of the country. This year, when there is a demand through- out the country for the restoration to the people of the control of parties and of the government, the Democratic National Convention should be made both democratic and representative, —----- -- © @@- If the Union League Club of Chicago can get along without Edward Hines, a certain famous “club” in Washington ought to be able to get along without Mr. Lorimer and Mr. Stephenson and Mr. du Pont as well. — - -—-@ @———- THAT HAT SONG.

White House and the Capitol at Washington to give us back the Missis- sippi River in condition for business. We will wait a long time, but we will get what we are waiting for finally, because we will go after it and keep on going after it until we do get it. This is our way in the long run and in the long run it works. It will work in St. Louis while we are waiting on the city hall for bridge ap- proaches and everything else needed for free trade across the river. We may have to wait a long time. It may not be as long as some at the city hall expect. But no matter what is expected at our own city hall or in Washington, we will keep on going after what we. need and have a to use in St. Louis business until we get it. That is our St. Louis way. It might be more expeditious, but it succeeds with unerring certainty. Ahd in the long run those who get in our way t» stop St. Louis from growing with its oppor- tunities are likely to find themselves much dis- disheveled. righ# The Devil's Dance is disturbing Washington so- clety. A quite similar gyration is disturbing Mr. Taft. —— eet —o-0-o— —___— AMERICAN IDEAS IN GOVERNMENT. In America we have two traditional and his- tcrical methods in government, which are both equally American, whether they work apart or work together. Both date their evolution from the first English settlements on the Atlantic coast and the evolution of both is certain to continue in making the future history of “Republican in- stitutions.” The decree of the Supreme Court of the United States that the “initiative and referendum” does not contravert Republican government is merely & paragraph in the history made by the method which belongs to New England township organi- zation. It goes back of Plymouth Rock, and back even of Alfred the Great. Wherever, at any period in the history of “Anglo-Saxons,” tho have lived close together in small neighborhood o- village communities, they have applied this “Yankee idea” of managing their own affairs by their own direct “interference” in them. This is all there is now, all there has been, all there will be, in the history of the initiative and referendum. It is a traditional and evolution- ary method. In this country it is an American method—the american Yankee method “people of our kind” have of interfering directly in the management of their own affairs whenever they like.

i ba ee + Along with this “short-arm” method of neighbor- % Le aan Ty il American kind have always had and they always will have the long-distance method which makes it possible for many communities to unite and co- operate with the greatest help and the least pos- sible hindrance to each other. In the Southern Colonies where distances be- tween neighbor and neighbor were long, this was the “Virginia idea,” the Southern “representative” method, formulated in the brains of publicists “riding the circuit” for several score or hundreds of miles as practicing lawyers. It is the idea of responsible and limited repre- sentative government on which the Union is founded. It is the only method which makes Union possible and long-distance co-operation pos- sible between communities which do not forfeit local self-government. Clearly there is nothing novel in the principle when these methods are used together in new ways. As methods, both depend now and afways or something higher than method. Combined, they are means to the fullest and freest popular expression, so checked that it has every oppor- tunity to become the expression of the best in- stead of the worst. ——_-—__ —_ $$ @—— Success magazine’s recetver finds that it has a bank balance of $151 and liabilities of $114,552.50.

—_-_-- Mayor Harrison has appointed a commission to ascertain why 125,000 men are out of work in |Chicago. Doubtless the vanguard of those im- ported to colonize the vote in the coming election. — — — — Se HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. The first vote in the new session of the House of Commons showed a working majority of 93 or behalf of the Asquith government. . The Premier stated that there was no intention of appealing to the country during the life of the present Parliament, which has more than three years yet to run, and that the program of this ses- sion—Welsh disestablishment, home rule for Ire land and manhood suffrage—would, when out of the way, be followed by more important reforms. Among these is the reconstruction of the House of Lords and House of Commons on democratic and imperial lines. It was shown in the first debate that the Gov- ernment had demolished one anti-home rule argu- ment by the Belfast meeting. This put an end to the cry that“‘Ulster will fight.” It was made known not only that Ulster had no intention of fighting, but that a majority of her citizens, in- cluding such eminent men as Lord Pirrie, chair- man of the White Star Line and the greatest em-

‘ployer of labor in Ireland, favor home rule and are for law and order. The expectation now is that the Home Rule bill will have passed the Commons and been re- jected by the Lords by Aug. 1 of this year. Then, after the lapse of two more sessions, it will be enacted into law over the veto of the House of Lords. The new Irish Government cannot, there- fore, be set up much within three years. These forecasts are based on the assumption that the Asquith government escapes defeat upon some minor issue. In case of such defeat followed by a general election, it is considered extremely unlikely that either Conservatives or Liberals can come back with a working majority independent of the Nationalists. The Irish party casts 80 votes as a unit in the Commons, which counts for 160 on a division, sufficient to overturn almost any government.

The .inclosed clipping, “Fire Drill Prevents Panic,” tells what a splendid thing ft is to have pupils trained in fire drilk My child attends school and since September there has not been as much as one drill. In old buildings in case of fire, a panic would be certain, and lives of many children would be lost. A’ PARENT. Who Cares for the Ex-Soldier? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with interest the contribution of | ex- Sergeant-Major to the Post-Dispatch of Feb. 11, and having suffered the same experience at|\the hands of the business men, will’ corroborate) his statements and also append the attitude of |the United States Government and churches toward the ex-regular as well. I enlisted at the beginning of the Spanjfsh- American War and served through the three wars, namely, Spanish-American, Philippine/ Insurrec- tion and Boxer War in China: was a’ guard for Mr. Taft and the Civil Commission on the transport Sumner in 1901 and was discharged in the United States in 1902, Having a fair education, and what I considered at the time the best of recommendations, I applied to practically all the business men of my heme town for employment and, as in the case of ‘ex- Sergeant-Major, they admitted that I was an inter- esting character, but were afraid to employ an “ex-regular.”’ Wishing to remain out of the serv- ice, I took the next best thing, that of day laborer at $1.40 day, and, with the of ine creased pay, I am still at it. Having been wounded in China, pension, but was rejected with that my “alleged wound did not show a ratable degree of disability.” No mention was made or credit given of the malaria incurred in the Phil- ippines and the dysentery and rheumatism whieh they knew we could not avoid in Northern China. We naturally supposed that the churches of this country would be interested in the welfare of men who had done so much for them, as they were undoubtedly the prime factors in the Boxer War: but, from. their attitude of supreme indifference tcward the subject they are evidently ashamed of the matter. Fort Scott, per exception I applied fora the statement Kan. AN EX-REGULAR. Need of Eight-Hour Law. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “Conservative” says millions of men are being worked from 10 to 16 hours per day. I am one of those men’s wives and there never was needed a law worse than the eight-hour law. What are our representatives for? Why, when elected, don’t they succeed In getting laws enacted that would be a benefit and blessing to those who placed them in office? My husband works in railroad shops as a laborer 12 hours per day, seven days a week. Never does he see any of his family only by lamp light in the winter time. They only work two shifts of men at the shops. Lots of men here are out of employment. Not only would the eight-hour law give my husband part of the day, but would give my neighbor's husband employment. Chaffee, Mo. ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE. Gag Rule at Joplin. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The unfair methods of gag rule carried out by Gumehoe Bill Stone, the high priest of the old guard, at the farcical Joplin convention, should be denounced by every fatr-minded Democrat in the State. His action in denying an honest and worthy Democrat Ifké David A. Ball a hearing was an insult to decent Democrats.

TORREON, Mexico. A new menace to President Madero hag ap- peared in the form of a strange song which is being sung by the members of various rebel bands, and which has furnished them a common ground On which to fight for glory and the of- fices. It is getting to be what the Marseillaise was in France in the ‘90s (the 17908). The song seems to have started in the moun- tain regions of the State of Coahuila. Men have been arrested for singing it on the streets of this city. When put in jail, they persisted in singing the song, which consists of these four lines: Cuando a ciudad yo vengo, Muchachog cocean mi perro: No importa que el es basto, Quitense cocear mi perro. A Spanish gentleman residing on a large ha: cienda near this. city recognized the song as one which, he is quite sure, he used to read as a boy in an ancient and unexpurgateg copy of Don Quixote, which wag in his father’s library back in Andalusia. It was put by Cervantes into the mouth of Sancho Panza, who was roundly rebuked by hig master for singing it when the nobie don was thinking of his lady Dulcinea. The United States consul here translates. it: Every time I come to town, The boys keep kickin’ my dog aroun’; Makes no diffrence if he is a houn’, Gotta quit kickin’ my dog aroun’. , The Spanish gentleman just alluded to says his father once told him that the song was not original with Cervantes, but that tt was a bat- tle hymn of the Cid, and was sung by the Castilian warriors who expelled the Moors from

—_———— - Or HIGH LIVING COST HITS THE HOUSE OF COMMONS Kitchen Committee Says Shilling Dinner Is Causing Deficit and May Raise Price.

Copyright, 1912, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) LONDON, Feb. 24.—Now that the members of the House of Commons are paid $2000 a year, the Kitchen Commitee cannot see why it should pro- vide them with a shilling dinner that costs 60 per cent more and thereby incur an annual loss ot $7000. This meal, consisting of soup, a joint, two veg- etables, bread, butter, pudding and cheese, as much of everythnig as anybody wants, is the cheapest of its kind in London. It was origi- nally instituted for the benefit of the labor mem- bers, but the wealthy members of the House asked for nothing better and there is.much dis- content because the Kitchen Committee talks of raising prices. ; The discussion may end in the commitee’s be- ing thrown out for the members contend that as it gets an annual subsidy of $10,000 and has no rent or light to pay for it should show a profit in catering and not a loss. GRAND DUCHESS MARIA WORRIES LUXEMBURGERS LUXEMBURG, Feb. 24.—This little Grand Duchy, which is only six times as big as St. Louis and has but 260,000 inhabitants, is fretting for fear that Grand Duchess Maria Adelaide will marry some German Prince, If she does there will be trouble. The 17-year-old Grand Duchess’ father, Grand Duke William, is a mental and physical wreck and for three years her mother has been regent. When her father passes away, which must be soon the girl will be ruler, there being no son to inherit the throne, which is propped up by the great powers of Europe. She has been educated in Germany and ts strongly German in style and sympathies. Indeed, she seems to have imbibed some of Emperor William's autocratic notions, for she treats her mother and her five sisters as mere feminine subjects. On her last birthday, June 4, she refused to kiss a small child who offered her a bouquet. GLADSTONE’S VALET LIVES IN POVERTY ON A PENSION LONDON, Feb. 24.—The late William BE.

BERNHARDT REFUSES TO BARE LIFE TO WIN RIBBON. Sarah Wants the Decoration, but Will Not Tell Her Secrets to Committee of Men to Get It.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, Feb. 24.—Once more the name of Mme. 3ernhardt has been omitted from the annual list of those who are to receive the Cross of the Le- gion of Honor, and to say that the Divine Sarah is angry is but mildly to indicate her wrath. In her box between the acts of “Lucretia Bor- gia” she was asked about the omission and the question made her furious. “T never asked it,” she said; “I never thought of it until about six years ago, when my friend, the late M. Catulle Mendes, met me one day and said he had mentioned the matter to M. Briand. ‘Then came a committee, such an impudent and inquisitive committee! They desired to know in detail the history of my life. It is to laugh! Do you suppose I would gratify their idle curi- osity to possess the Cross of the Legion of Honor? Certainly not. “Brom the cradle up it was necessary should tell them the truth. Mon Dieu! They left me a long list of questions to answer, many of them so very indiscreet. I was captivated by the red ribbon. I will admit I wanted the decor- ation, but that I should make father confessors out of those members of the committee! It is tu shudder. They may keep their decoration.” From this it appears the Cross of the Legion of Honor will not be buried with Mme. Bern- hardt, but that her secrets will.

One day Alfonso suddenly disappeared, He had started out in his motor and all trace of him was lost. An alarm was given and telegrams were sent in all directions. At length word came from San Sebastian that the King had crossed the frontier and was on his way to Paris. Later he; was heard of at Tarbes and at Lourdes. At this latter place a message from Madrid was hande@ him which induced him to retrace his steps to his capital. = Alfonso reached Madrid that same onsuniil having traveled at a break-neck pace, and have ing outdistanced a cavalry squadron which had@ been ordered to await him at the frontier.

: Voice. Rivaling Caruso’s, Other Interesting Stage News.

! By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. f Y far the most picturesque, 4ramat- f, ic and novel event of the entire musical season in New York is the t triumph scored by Gerson Sirota, ‘the singing Rabbi of Warsaw,” a Jew- h synagogue cantor long famous wthroughout all Russia, with a marvel- ous tenor voice said to rival that of aruso at its best, and who comes to @ Odeon in this city on Tuesday even- , March 65. This majestic singer of the ancient ebrew chants embodying the Psalms ‘ef David and other sacred canticles of ¢ Old Dispensation seems fairly to ave swept the song-lovers of the Amer- metropolis off their feet. His first rance in Carnegie Music Hall this week attracted a gathering which ould have filled the house several times r. With every seat in the vast audi- jum sold, the box office closed two before the performance began. eavy premiums above the regular ad- on fee were offered by many dis- inted individuals, and the crowd tside was of such proportions and so er for entrance that something of a ensued, necessitating rough tactics -the part of the police detailed to the mob. Following which exciting scene, Ger- Sirota accomplished his American t and sang his way into New York that were made reverent by the erential earnestness of the artist's consecration to his work.

HE great human picture presented on this occasion was surely such as is rarely seen in New York City, even the news announcements of the event glowing with its uncommon col- orfulness and out-of-the-ordinary ap- peal-to the imagination. Sirota and his conductor, Mr. L. Loew, both coming direct from the famous arsaw Synagogue, although appearing conventional evening clothes instead the robe usually worn during Jew- h religious ceremonies, insisted upon ing their silk hats while the litur- hymns of the Hebrew faith were g sung. A boy choir from the Syn- gue Ohab Zedek in New York, in black g@wns and with head- coverings resembling the Catholic bi- retta, supported the soloist in the big choral numbers. Sirota himself, de- seribed as a man of swarttly face, with grave black ‘eyes, a dark mustache and ort beard, is said to have been almost pitifully nervous while first standing »e- fore his premiere New York audience, his hands twitching with agitation ani his throat seeming to be parched, so that be was continually clearing it in preparation for his task’s performance. Instantly, however, when the time came for him to sing, this uneasiness disap- peared, and his revelation of the rich- Ness of his voice was well-nigh self- Unconscious because of the singer’s ab- Sorption in his song. The American success of the most fa- mous cantor of all modern Israel, seems to have been immediate.

EW YORK’'S musical critics are unanimous in declaring that Siro- ta possesses one of the greatest tenor voices of the present day, a voice Which, even though it may have had only a ‘‘fatural’ ‘training in place of being schooled by skilled teachers, splen- @idiy stands comparison with the fore- tenors of contemporaneous opera. “He has a wonderful tenor voice,” Writes one metropolitan reviewer. “Its lower notes have the manliness of a baritone, and his high tones ring tri- umphantly.

“The Butterfly on the Wheel;” Pamela Gaythorne, Wilfred North and Reginald Barlow, three former members of the New Theater company; Louise Seymour, Walter Howe, A. M. Botsford, Arthur Barry and Albert Easdale. New York society is much interested in The Little Theater project, and the new playhouse’s opening probably will develop into an event of considerable distinction. EWIS WALLER, the English actor s who scored such a brilliant New! York triumph as Boris Androvsky, the renegade monk, in “The Garden of Allah,” at the Century, formerly the New, Theater, now announces that he will star under his own management in a revival of ‘‘Monsieur Beaucaire,” fol- lowing the termination of his Century engagement, appearing in one of the Shuberts’ metropolitan playhouses. It is distinctly creditable to two Amer- ican writers, booth Tarkington, author of the novel from which the play was made, and the late Mrs. Evelyn Green- leaf Sutherland, who collaborated with Tarkington in the dramatization, that one of the biggest London successes of Mr. Waller’s entire career was scored in this romantic drama. The piece ran for over 300 nights in Waller’s own Lon- don theater and was acclaimed by Brit- ish critics and playgoers alike as one of the best plays of its day. Waller ix bringing over several members of the original London cast to appear with him, among them being Grace Lane, who was his leading lady; Frank Woolfe and Reginald Dane. In the event of a New York success it is reasonably certain that the London actor-manager will un- dertake a tour of other American Cities. I saw the Boris Andruvsky of Waller's playing at the premiere production. of “The Garden of Allah” New York. It was the one big nx of the play, as I said in the Post-Dispatch at the time, and I have little doubt of a notable Waller triumph in the virile title role of “Beaucaire.”” The man is vitally emo- tional, with a finely romantic touch, and vibrant with personal magnetism. tn

As a notable feature of the Dickens’ Centenary year the Lieblers are to re- vive J. Comyns Carr's dramatization of “Oliver Twist’? with a company of dis- tinguished players. Nat Goodwin is cast as Fagin, Constance Collier as Nancy Sikes, Lyn Harding as Bill Sikes and Marie Doro in the title role.

VALESKA COMEDY WEEK AT ST. LOUIS PLAYHOUSES

date

SURATT, GARRICK

. ) FLORENCE HESTON, AMBRICAN,.

OMEDY, MANLY MUSICAL, HOLD ST.LOUIS STAGE Donald Brian, famous as the original Prince Danilo in the first American pro- duction of ‘“‘The Merry Widow,” now makes his St. Louis debut as a star in “The Siren,’’ which begins a week’s en- gagement at the Olympic this evening. The new offering is a musical comedy in three acts, its plot revolving about the attempt of the Minister of Police at Vienna to obtain a sample of the handwriting of the gay young Marquis Havaillac in order to prove him of having written certain sedi- tious verses. Various beautiful society women are employed to inveigle De Ravaillac into indicting love notes, and he is finally entrapped by Lolotte, a lit- tle country cousin of the Minister of Police, who does not realize what she is doing and who falls in love with the handsome Marquis even as she is be- traying him. He loves her also, and both are heartbroken over the situation thus created, but, fortunately, the Em- peror’s forgiveness of De _ Ravaillac makes possible the story's happy end- ing. Donald Brian as the Marquis is sup. ported by dainty Julia Sanderson as Lolotte, and a clever company which in. cludes Frank Mouwlan, Ethel Cadman Alan Mudie, Will West, Cyril Biddulph and others. de guilty

Lew Fields’ All-Star Company tn the merry absurdity, “Hanky Panky,” comes to the Shubert for the weak open- ing. with tonight’s performance. The play's book is by Edgar smith, its jingles by. E. Ray Goetz, and tts musio ty A. Baldwin Sloane. The piece wae written for Lew Fields’ own use, but Fields’ reunion with Joe Weber, and their joint overwhelming success in New York, have not only prevented his appearing tn ft, but has Florence Moore, Myrtle Gilbert, Ger- trude Scott and others, also an attract- ive Lew Fields chorus. : A brilliant pro- duction is promised.

Victor Moore in “Shorty McCabe,”’ dramatized by Owen Davis from inci- dents in the short stories by Sewell Ford, begins a week’s engagement at the Century this evening. The play presents its title role figure as a former lightweight pugilistic cham- pion who is now training young million- aires in the gentle art of bag-punching. In this environment he proceeds to ‘‘wise up” his friends and discomfit his enemies, all to the accompaniment of a philosophy which is said to represent both the slang and the ideas of 1912. A love story is blended with the main theme. The cast includes Jean Galbraith, Emma Littlefield, Clara Reynolds Smith, Harry L. Franklin, Erville An- derson, Lottie Uart and many others.

Valeska Suratt in “The Red Rose” be- gins the second week of her Garrick engagement this evening. The plece tells an amusing musical comedy story of life in the Latin quarter of Paris and gives Miss Suratt what is said to be the best role of her career. She {s cleverly supported by Alexander Clark, Maxwell Reynolds, Louis Casavant, Charles Clear, Nichols Judels, Joseph C., Fay, Minerva Coverdale, Marie Rich- mond, Laura Jaffray, the Ropal En- glish Rosebuds and a big chorus.

The John Tiller London company, making their American debut in a far- Cical pantomime and musica] absurdity entitled “On the Wall,”’ will head the Columbia bill opening with tomorrow’s matinee. Other features are Sager Midgeley and company, new to St. Louis, In a farce entitled “Early Morn- ing Reflections;” the Nichols Sisters, “The Kentucky Belles,” in blackface comedy; Marrena and Delton, startling acrobats; Mille. de Fallieres and her trained dogs, including an airship flight With dog aeronauts:; Ward Baker, a

“Checkers,’”’ the ever popular Henry Blossom comedy-drama of the racetrack, will be the American’s offering this week, opening with today’s matinee. The title role will be played by Hobart Cavanaugh, who is said to do effective work. John Mundinger, a former St. Louisan, will be seen as “Push” Miller, the racetrack tout. Florence Heston is still in the cast as Pert,/the sweetheart of Checkers. Others 6f the company are well placed, and the same scenic production made during earlier seasons is announced. Next, David Belasco’s original produc- tion of ‘‘The Easiest Way.”

Opening Monday afternoon, owing to the Imperial Theater being engaged for today by the Yiddish Theater Co., the Imperial Stock Co. will present ‘The Charity Ball,” a sterling comedy-drama that has held popular favor for many years. It tells the story of two broth- ers, one a clergymaa, the other a Wall street speculator of evil soul, and much of its plots concerns a young girl pro- tege of the clergyman and victim of the sy A PoorWa

The Merry Burlesquers begin a week's engagement at the Standard this after- noon. They will present two one-act musical comedies and a closing burles- que entitled “From Broadway to At- lamtic City,’’ also a clever vaudeville olio. A feature song number will be “They got to Quit Kickin’ My Dog ! Around.” Ed Lee Wrothe and The Ginger Girls come to the Gayety for the week open- ing with today’s matinee. They will present a farce entitled “Janitor Hig- gins,’’ a big feature|act entitled ‘“‘The l‘uturity Winner,’ closing with a great race scene in which three horses figure. and bright vaudeville. Next, The Honeymoon Girls.

For the benefit of: Miss Anna Lofink, the fascinating soubrette of the German Stock Co. at the Odeon, this organiga- tion tonight will present Strauss’ new- est operetta, ‘“‘Fruehlingsluft,” an ax- ceptionally bright and tuneful work. Miss Lofink will appear in the leading role of Hanni, supported by the entire company, effectively cast, with Direc- tor Hans Loebel in the comedy role of Nazi. Mr. La Tour Albrecht is stage manager.

For the Shubert engagement of Soth- ern and Marlowe, opening Monday evening, March 18, the arrangement of plays for the week is: Monday night, ‘Taming of the Shrew;” Tuesday night, ‘““Macbeth;’’ Wednesday matinee, “Mac- beth;”” Wednesday night, “The Mer- Chant of Venice;” Thursday night, “Romeo and dJuliet;” Friday night, ‘“Hamilet;’’ Saturday matinee, “As You Like It,’’ and Saturday night, ‘‘Twelfth Night.” The supporting company is practically the same seen during the past six years.

Lee Shubert has bought the American rights of ‘Rutherford and Son,” a powerful drama by Miss Gita Sowerby, which makes a strong plea for woman's proper recognition as man’s equal in the battle for life, and will soon give it an American production. The play has just scored a big London succes.

Floyd Ariston, an American woman, has opened “The Theater Cabaret’ in London. It is modeled more or less upon such resorts in Paris, and will pro- vide a free-and-easy vaudeville anter- tainment for persons who wish to be amused while they smoke and sip their coffee or liqueur after dinner. About 100 persons may be seated at its little tables. Its first program opens at 9:15 and closes at 11:30; its second at

midnight, closing at 2 a ae “T have conquered a new world—that of the photo-play,” writes Sarah Bern- hardt to Wiliam F. Connor, her Amer- ican manager, telling him of her play- ing ‘‘Camille”’ before the cameras of a famous moving-picture concern in Paris. “T never thought, my dear William, that I would ever be a film, but now that I am two whole reels of pictures, I rely for my immortality upon these rec- ords.”’ It seems that Sarah entered into the arrangement with. the enthusiasm of @ schoolgirl, intensified, perhaps, by the fact that it meant a fee of $30,000 in cash to her. “Camille” was rehearsed a few times with the watch to get it timed right, and then Bernhardt and her powerful company went through the en- tire performance precisely as though they were playing before a theater audl- ence. Bernhardt herself is said to have payed with tremendous fire and ex- pressiveness. The result is a series of photographs that are staccato in their vigor. The story is revealed as plain as print. The great Dumas play of fem- inine emotion was never more eloquent than in this dumb record, it is declared. Bernhardt could hardly wait to see an exhibition of the pictures in the studio. When the operator started his machine and the photo-play began to reveal itself upon the screen, she became almost hysterical with excitement. After the first seeing of the two reels, she in- sisted that they be run off a second time. At the finish she turned to Ed- mond Rostand, the poet-dramatist, who had accompanied her. ““What next for me?’ she asked. And the logical an- swer to that question is big with signi- ficance. It probably means that, as far as is possible to pantomime, the aplendid art of Sarah Bernhardt will be preserved for all time in photo-plays showing her in the complete repertoire of her great stage creations. John Hyams and Leila MoIntyre in ‘The Girl of My Dreams’ return to the Century for the week opening next Sunday night. They are supported by the same company seen in the musical comedy’s earlier St. Louis presentation

‘‘Can’t Afford Competition of the Nemo’’ DEAR MADAM: We want to tell you about one of the finest stores in America, which sells lots of Nemo Corsets ‘‘under protest’’—keeps a small stock (out of sight), orders “‘specials’’ almost.daily, and always, if possible, induces a Nemo customer to buy something else. We asked the manager one day if it wouldn’t be better to cultivate his Nemo trade, and carry full lines, displayed where people could see them. He very frankly said: ‘‘No; we sell your goods when we have to, for we don’t want to lose the profit on Nemo sales; but we can’t afford to have Nemo competition in our stock.’’ When a dealer is AFRAID to show Nemo Corsets because he knows that they are BETTER, and, if given a chance, will OUTSELL his other corsets, on which he makes a larger profit, isn’t it pretty near time for YOU, Madam, and all other women, to INSIST upon having the Nemo whenever your dealer tries to make you take something “‘just as good?’’ Don’t YOU be the ‘‘goat’’—BE A WISE WOMAN! There’s a Nemo for every figure, from very slender to extra-stout— sure you get the model that suits you. KOPS BROS., Mfrs., New York '

Health and Beauty Answers; BY MRS. MAE W. S. S.: Your hair will never grow long, thick and lustrous while you use soap for shampooing. The alkali in soap is too strong for the delicate hairs, causing them to be- come dull, brittle and faded. If you will wash the hair about twice a month with. a teaspoonful of can- throx dissolved in a cup of hot water, rinsing thoroughly _§after- wards, you will find your hair soft- er, fluffier and more brilliant than ever before. The hair dries quickly and evenly without streaking or dull- ness. Canthrox cleanses perfectly, removing al] dirt and dandruff, and relieves scalp-irritation instantly. —_—_—— Della: Peroxide will make the hairs less noticeable, but if you real- ly want to remove that growth from your cheek, apply a paste made with powdered delatone and water. After two or three minutes rub: it off, wash the skin and your cheek will be firm, white and hairless. Drug- gists will charge a dollar for an original one-ounce package of dela- tone, but it is worth geveral times its cost, as it never fails. Discouraged: Your baby needs some food other than malted milk. If she continues thin, fretful, pee- vish and anaemic, she certainly is not receiving sufficient nourishment. Barley babies are strong, robust and sturdy. Get from your drug- gist a small can of F. N. Johnson’s especially prepared pure _ barley flour and take a tablespoonful, mix with cold water to a thin smooth better, add one pint boiling water, salt to suit, boil and stir well five minutes, then add onethird pint milk, stir well and feed through nursing bottle. There is no more nourishing food to be had for the baby; and it is not only the best, but the lowest priced. Rose: Lack of exercise and eat- ing too much solid food during the winter months account for your sal- low, pimply complexion and lost energy. You can best overcome this condition by taking a good system- tonic and blood-purifier, made by dissolving one ounce kardene in '% pint alcohol, then adding ™% cup Sugar and hot water to make-a quart, Take a tablespoonful before each meal] and in a short time you will feel like a new person; your sallowness will give way to a rosy, healthy complexion. This simple blood-purifier is a wonderful ener- gizer, and cannot be recommended too highly as a reliable system-tonic. . —— Mrs. T. C.: No one can afford to neglect his or her eyes. If you want bright, clear, beautiful eyes that will be much admired, you can have them with very little care. Get an ounce of crystos at any drug store and dissolve it in a pint of water. Put two or three drops of this tonic

MARTYN. surprised how it will strengthen | your weak, tired eyes and make | them strong, healthy and sparkiing. | Many oculists who use this simple | tonic get excellent results in treat- ing eye troubles generally. It is very soothing and has enabled many to dispense with wearing glasses.

Miss’ Juliet: No wonder the other young people avoid you when you have your face smeared with paint and powder to cover up your freckles and other complexion de- fects. If you will use this lotion you wil] find proper relief and no- body can tell but that your complex- ion is perfectly natural: Dissolve 4 ounces spurmax in ™% pint witch hazel (or hot water), then add 2 teaspoonfuls' glycerine, Apply to the face, neck and arms, rubbing gently until dry, and your skin will take on a very charming !ook. This lotion is much better than powder as it removes that shiny, oily look to the gkin and does not rub off easily. It is the finest skin-whitener and complexion-beautifier I ever used. —_—_—__. Della «.: The longer you put off fat-reduction the harder and firmer the tissues will become and the less easily dissolved. The most effective, harmless remedy known to science is made by dissolving 4 ounces of parnotis in 1'% pints hot water. By taking a tablespoonful before each meal, you will soon note a most sat- isfactory disappearance of your fat without any injury to your health. No dieting or violent exercises are necessary with this wonderful rem- edy. It leaves the skin smooth and unwrinkled. Mrs. G. C.: Hair specialists agree that a quinine hair tonic is far su- perior to any other kind for remov- ing dandruff, stopping falling hair and promoting a healthy growth of lustrous hair. However, the tonic will be worthless if not fresh made. You can prepare a splendid quinine tonic by mixing together ‘% pint alcohol and one ounce quinzoin, then adding '~ pint cold water. This

is unexcelled for remedying scalp and hair troubles and the only sat-) isfactory hair-grower I have ever found. Dora: If you want a complexion cream that will not grow hair or make the skin shiny and oily, get an ounce of almonzoin, 2° teaspoon- fuls glycerine and stir into ™% pint cold water. Thig cream-jelly is good for and prevents chapping, and !s very cleansing, healing and soften- ing to the skin. Use morning and night-and you will soon note a won- derful improvement in your com- plexion. This dependable beautifier will tone your skin, stimulatine the youthful glow in your face which comes only from a smooth, clean, healthy complexion. Read Mrs. Martyn’s book, “Beau- | we $5.— ADV. .

The penalty clause of the new law is drastic. It provides a $0 fine for the man who offers a tip, the same for the person accepting it and also for the em- ployer or the acceptor.

HAT our friends, the “Pro- W gressives,’’ suggest is that every official elected by the people shall assume office with rope tied around his neck, so that at any moment he may be strung up in a sort of political execution. The tariff is the real issue. The matter of a third term for the President is one that should be faced and settled. No one, from Washington's time down to the present day, has come out in a more explicit and fiat- footed manner against a third term than Mr. Theodore Roosevelt. ONGRBESS is not an assembly of overpowering geniuses, but neither is the country peopled by a race of overpowering geniuses. A Congress of geniuses would no doubt keep Washington merry; but the rest of the country would find it no joke.

By ALLEYNE IRELAND. A Staff Correspondent of the New York World and the Post- Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Three states may claim a share in the crea- tion of Congressman Samuel Walter M.“all. He was born at East Provi- dence, Pa., in 1851, got his early educa- tion in New Hampshire, was admitted to the bar In Boston in 1876 and since 1893 he has represented the Eighth Con- Kressianal District of Massachusetts in the House. “The decision of the Supreme Court, just announced,” said the Congressman, “that it has no jurisdiction to deter- mine whether or not a State which has adopted the initiative and referendum as part of its political machinery has, in so doing, broken away from the Re- publican form of government serves to direct public attention anew jo that important question and also unfortun- ately to relegate its. settlement to a Vague future when Congress may see fit to take up the subject. “As a matter of fact there is no ques- tion now before the American people which s0 closely concerns the very fabric of our institutions as the proposal to change our method of government from that of representative to that of a direct authority by means of the ini- tiative and referendum. “To anyone who has had occasion to study American political history, it ought, I imagine, be a source of sur- prise that any support at all should be forthcoming for such proposals, but when support has made way for enthu- siasm and enthusiasm has found its outlet In adoption as in Oregon, sur- prise yields in its turn to a grave feel- ing of alarm. Initiative a Fallure in Athens. “It is not as though this idea of di- rect government was a new one, plucked in a glowing state from the melting pot of political experiment; it is in fact a very ancient plan; it is the plan which the Athenian people adopted at a time when they might with justice have claimed to be the most brilliant and intellectual people the world had ever seen. It was tried by these people, of whom we in our aay may say that the World has not yet seen their like: and this experiment of direct government by the people destroyed the liberties of the Athenians, beggared them of their great- courts became the re All ond little lots and short bolts that are too small to make the ]} proper showing on our upper floors will be brought down and dispose dof ata sharp reduction in basement.

Perfect features and gen- eral attractiveness are lost under this disfigurement. This distressing condi- tion is caused by the bowels falling to throw off certain poisons or impurities, and which, on this account, circulate through the blood, which in turn tries to expel them through the skin. If you want quick and decisive relief, take a teaspoonful of Tono-Lax in a tumbler of water before breakfast each morning. This preparation, which is really a com- bination of home remedies prescribed by most physicians, has certain qualities of neutralization, which cause the bowels and blood to expel these poisons, and by so doing, quickly transforms an oily or pimply skin into one of velvety clear- ness. Insist on the real Tono-Lax in original package (25-cent sige), and if your druggist hasn't it, or trieg to syb- stitute, make him get it for you, If you follow these instructions carefully,

the Steel Corporation's relief department, is molding the stern business policy of competition. Officials representing this new element of the corporation—cal! it the corporation’s soul if you like—have interceded for these old men and had them taken back in order to make them eligible for pensions. To offset these good reports come the suspicions of some of the old men that they are discharged as they approach the age limit so that the company may avoid paying their pensions. The com- pany emphatically denied ever entertain- heartless motives, and the ing such Post-Dispatch could fine no evidence that such a policy is pursued. Doubt- less there are cases of injustice. In a machine so ponderous and complicated it would be strange [ff otherwise. Many of the older men consider the pension system unfair in that the rate is based on a man’s average earnings during his last 10 years of service, A man may have made $8 a day at one of the strenuous furnace jobs during all of his prime, and at 50 be broken down so that a watchman’s post at $52 a month is the best he can do for his last 10 years. “And they shove you on the shelf if they can,’’ said one old man bitterly. “The boss tried to convince me that I had outlived my usefulness at my job, where I was making big money—that is, ‘t used to be big money, but there isn’t any place paying like it did when I went into the mills.

RE RE Rae RE EAE EN Oy tage * Garrison, who was a witness a w days ago, denied on cross-exam- ination that he had prompted the laimant to write this letter. Dep- sitions have been introduced to show that the claimant declared him- self Kimmel before reaching Mat- fteawan, and that when he was fearched at that institution, news- paper clippings about Kimmel’s dis- appearance and. about Kimmel's rel- atives in Niles, were found in his pocket. It has also been shown that the claimant received several let- ters from Mrs. Mable Lardner at an arrest. “YT was driving through the country with Andrew J. White of Medina, Olean County, N. Y.,” he said, ‘‘and our buggy broke down.’ He added that he went to an aband- cned house and took a scantling worth perhaps 25 cents, with which to prop up the buggy, and for that he was ar- rested for larceny. He could not remember his term at Little Valley Jail and accused Taylor of trying to make two offenses out of one. Asked if his mind was weak, second he said it was. Claimant Tells Lawyer He Reads - From a “Fake” and Calls for Proof When Taylor read from the record of the second incarceration at Little _ Valley, the claimant exclaimed angrily: “Get the proof. That is a fake thing ou are reading from.” . From then on the claimant branded all of the plaintiff's documents and pome introduced by the insurance com- ny as sakes.” He accused Taylor d Bacon of ‘‘graft’’ repeatedly, and told Taylor he Was a “crook.” ’ it all started by Taylor asking the Iiatant of he were 60 years old. The Little Valley Bertillon card said that ndrew J. White was 60. * “Are you 60 years old?’ +t anded. “Do I look like I was 60?” the claim- nt angrily retorted. * “You do to me,” was Taylor's reply. He Becomes Excited. * “Yes, and everything looks bad to you “hat touches your pocketbook,’ cried ‘the claimant, half arising and shaking this fist. ‘“‘You are in this for graft.” | He said he expected nothing from the @nsurance company, in case he should “establish his identity, but the money ipaid on the first premium of the $500 ‘policy. He asserted that the other two $10,000 policies were taken out by Mrs. ‘Edna Bonslett, unknown to him. “What hurts me the worst,” he ex- plained, “‘is that even back in February they were planning to get-rid of me, ‘and you’’—pointing his finger at Taylor —“are helping along this fraud.

There was a burst of laughter, which ',Judge Amidon sternly rebuked, and a ‘Poon of five minutes was ordered now .

' “I want to apologize to you,”’ the ‘claimant said as he faced Taylor again. getter the recess. “I want to beg your ‘pardon. I called you a crook. I should not have said that—but you are.” Two Hats Tried on 4 Taylor asked the claimant, on the +etand, to submit to two tests, the “s object of which he did not tell the ¥jury and he declined to disclose his peeason until the case is argued. ‘He asked the claimant what size hat he wore and the answer was Th. Asked if that were the size of ‘shat he wore in the courtroom,: the | witness said he did not know. Tay- a ior then produced two black derby thats from a paper bundle and asked ) the claimant to put them on. “I cannot put them both on at ~ once,” the claimant said, laughing '> and looking at the jurors. Taylor * said one at a time would do, and ‘| when the witness still hesitated, “Oh, they will not hurt they are new, | you.” Mystery About Hats. The claimant then put on the first at, which came down on his ears, being too large.. The second hat srched on the top of his head, much bo small. Taylor then took the hats Way and said no more about them. - The attorney then handed the * claimant a piece of paper contain- + ing @ column of figures, asking him * if he could add and subtract. “Add that,” he said, and offered “Oh, I have a + pencil,” the claimant said, and took * one from his pocket. Borrowing a . from the judge, the witness slowly added the ficures and after about three minutes gave the paper back to Taylor. The lawyer did not again refer to the paper. Next he handed the witness an imaginary note, for $857 for three months at 3 per cent interest, and asked him te calculate the interest. iy. Refuses to Compute.

Whenever Bertillon pictures of him, taken in the prisons, were shown him, he said they resembled him, but he had no recollection of having posed for them. “How long did you suffer a lapse of memory?” he was asked. “If I knew that I would not have had a lapse of memory, would I?” was the retort. Asked to give the details of his stay in Dakota, the claimant said he could not do that, but would answer any specific questions. “TI cannot ask them,” said Taylor, “because I am not familiar with that country.” Frequent Bursts of Laughter. “Then you would not know whether I was telling the truth of not, would you?” was the answer. There were frequent bursts of laughter which the bailiffs tried in vain to suppress. “Well, tell us as near as you can,” suggested Taylor. “You are asking me, in my condi- tion, to go back 25 years and review my life,” said the claimant, “which would be an impossibility for a nor- mal man.” The claimant vigorously resented Taylor’s numerous references to his criminal record. ‘‘Why do you harp on that word ‘steal’ all the time?” he queried. “You are trying to misrep- resent me to this jury. Yes, you are. You do it all the time. Yet you say you want to be fair.” “Where did you go when you left Matteawan?”’ was the next question. “To Indiana and thtn to N-I-L-E-S, Niles,” said the claimant, with em- phasis as he spelled,out the word. “Why to Niles?” “Why not? Was not Niles my home and birthplace?” Taylor said that thé witness stated the day before that He was an habit- ual drunkard. “T did not. I said no such a thing,” he cried. “Why do you keep misrep- resenting me? You do it all the time. You aré foisting fraud on me all the time and trying to show to this jury that I am an impostor.” “But you were arrested for a 40- cent bar bill?” Taylor insisted, “Yes I did, but I did not say I drank it. It was for another man and I’ll not tell who.” the Witness; i Reason for Test Is Not Given been offered to Miss Rowley by the claimant at South Bend last fall. “The wicked flee when no man pur- sueth,”’ Taylor retorted, “and I'll not stand for such an accusation even from such a distinguished gentleman as the general counsel of the New York Life Insurance Co.” He then asked the claimant if he ever told Miss Rowley how much he ex- pected to get from the insurance com- pany, and the witness said he did not. Taylor remarked at one point that he had forgotten a certain name. “Then you must have had a lapse of memory, too,’’ the claimant said. Asks About Aunt’s Eyes. “What color were the eves of Mrs Mary McKay, your aunt, if you know?" Taylor asked. *“‘Now, see here, why do you add that insult to the question?” demanded the witness excitedly. “I can answer just as well without béing insulted. They were brown, just like mother’s. You have entertained mother so much at your house that you ought to know the color of her eyes."’ “Yes, and she is a fine woman,” Tay- lor said. “She is a fine woman,” sald the claim ant, “but she is in bad company when she is with you.” “And her hair is dark brown and not gray?” Taylor said. There was no reply. “Why do you not answer?” “Because you did not ask me a ques- tion. You were stating. a fact about mother,’ was the retort. “Her hair is brown, !s it not?’ “Ie that so? I am giad to hear it. I have not seen mother very close lately,” was the reply. Taylor questioned the claimant as to bis means of livelihood, ana he replied that he had shoveled snow for Harry Fox, and had “made money writing.”’ He was not asked to explain the latter Statement. _ Finishing his questions, Taylor asked the witness to stand down in front of the jury. for inspection. He hesitated until Judge Amidon commanded him to go, and then stepped to the rail in front of the jury box. The 12 men left their seats and crowd- ed about the rail, getting as close as possible to the claimant. . Taylor called their attention first to the profile and then to the man’s ears. Slowly the cialmant walked back and forth along the rail, bending his’ ear so that the men could get a good look. He smiled broadly, talked to the jurors and occasionally laughed aloud. When the inspection was finished, of Niles citizens who ana wno recognized the claimant @&e September. about as testified by Shetland. MISS NELLIE MOPTON SCHANOT Taylor announced that he was through with the witness. McIntosh then called the claimant in front of the jury box, and asked the 12 men to compare the claimant’s left ear with the ear of a picture of George A. Kimmel taken before his disappearance. Again the jurors crowded to the rail and looked at the man. When that inspec- tion was finished court was adjourned for the day. Immediately the claimant was _ sur- rounded by a crowd of spectators, eager to inspect him. McIntosh showed them the picture, called their attention to the claimant’s ears and argued that there was a resemblance between the man and the Kimmel! picture. The case probably will not go to the jury before Thursday. The New York Life Insurance Co. has about eight, wit- nesses and twenty or more depositions vet to place before the jury. Then the plaintiff will consume one day or more in rebuttal testimony, and at least an- other day will be taken up by the ar- guments and Judge Amidon’s instruc- tions to the jury. Witnesses who are in St. Louis for the defense who have not yet been examined include Henry Niles, Harry L. Fox of Niles and his wife, Mrs. mel; Canton, O., was a youthful sweetheart of Kim- mel, formerly of claimant sent when he was hurt in the Cc, and several others.

Shetland, Bertillon expert of the Auburn prison swore he was sure Kimmel and the claimant were one person. By consent of the court Frederick H. Bacon, counsel for the plaintiff, had the original picture copied by an expert photographer of St. Louis, and an enlargement made. This photo- grapher and another will be put on by the plaintiff to show that the lines of the two pictures do not coincide, They will try to show that there are differences between the chins and the noses, as well as the left ear, Shetland ad- mitted the left ear of the claimant was 1-32 of an inch shorter than that of Kimmel, in the picture, and said that the scar on the neck accounted for that. The expert photographers will at- tempt to show. that a comparison of pictures is impossible unless the pic.. tures were taken by the same lens and the same focus used. John Shea, the “man with the camera eye,” the Bertillon expert of the St. Louis police department probably will be called by the plain- tiff in rebuttal to dispute Shetland’s testimony. Dr. Harry Unterberg, a St. Louis allenist and neurologist has been called by the plaintiff to observe the claimant and will be put on In re- buttal to tell of the man’s menta) condition and to state whether or not the scar on the neck could change the left ear. After adjournment, Judge Amidon announced to counsel for both sides that he had decided to admit the deposition of Elroy Hess of Berrien Center, Mich., who testified that his eyes had changed from dark brown to light gray since he was fifteen years old When the defense attempted to read the 4eposition Friday, Bacon objected and the court took it un- der advisement. Yesterday Bacovo withdrew his objection. and the deposition will be read tomorrow. - —_ =a The legitimate PAID circulation of the Post-Dispatch in St. Lowls and ite suburbs ts greater than that o3 ALL other English Dailies COM-/| BINED.

Baden-Powell said the spirit of the organization is that of the Panama Canal, where every work- er feels that the enterprise could not persist without his individual labor. “If you can’t get what you want, make what you have do,’’ was a motto suggested by the speaker for Boy Scouts. He illustrated the saying by telling how a lamp could be contrived with a candle and a bottle, and how a mattress could be devised from the moss and sprigs of the forest. The proverb, “Paddle your own canoe,’ was illustrated by pictures of boy scouts plying the oars of their boats, after carrying them overland to water. 30 Troops at Jai Alal. At the Jai Alai 30 troops were pres- ent, representing about 1000 boy scouts. Drills were performed by Troops 2, 6, 20, 31, 38, 47 and 48. Evolutions were executed by the color bearers of the various patrols, who performed a com- plimentary drill in honor of the founder of the organization. Gen.

ANOTHER CUBAN CRISIS PRECIPITATED WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Another se- rious situation in the affairs of Cuba ic at hand. Reports from the island re- public today indicate that the quiet brought about by Secretary of State Knox’s issuing a note of warning Is at an end. The cause is the decision yesterday by the Supreme Court of Cuba, declar- ing the suspension of the civil service act by President Gomez unconstitution- al. President Gomez was forced to sus- pend the civil service act in order to discharge civil service employes to make room for members of the veter- aus’ association, at the head of which is Gen. Nunez. According to advices the interpreta- tion of the Court's ruling is that all civil service employes who were ousted for the benefit of the vetérans must be reinstated. This will mean that the veterans will again be out and demand- ing to be put in. It ts said the mem- bers of the association are in an ugly mood and are already demanding the repeal of the civil service act. The de- mand carries with it a threat of vio- ‘once If not complied with.

VIENNA, Feb. 244.—Owing to the fu- neral of the late Count Von Aerenthal the Washington day reception at the Embassy was postponed until tonight. About four hundred Americans, com- prising members of the colony and tour- ists, accepted the hospitality of Ambas- sador and Mrs. Kerena, Louis yesterday, In- “Popular government we all be- lieve in. There are those of us who do not believe that all peoples are fitted for popular government. The fact is, we know they are not. Some of us dare not say so, but I do; and the question whether a people 1s fitted for popular self-gove ermment so as to make that gov ernment best for the people is determined by the abil- ity of the majority of that people to place on itself the restraint by which the minority shall receive justice from the majority. It is the ques- tion of self-imposed restraint that de- termines whether a people is fit to govern itself.’—From the state- ment given out at the White House yesterday. Farther aiong in the President's Speech on the night of Jan. 20, as re- ported in the newspapers, appear these words, which were not referred to in the White House statement, but which were quoted by Theodore Roosevelt in his Columbus speech: “We are called upon now, we of the bar, to say whether we are going to protect the institution of the judi- clary and continue it independent on the majority or of all the peo- ple.’ the American people are not fitted for popular government, and that it is necessary to keep the judi- ciary independent of the majority or of all the people; that there must be no appeal to the péople from the decision of a court in any case; and that therefore the judges are to be established as sovereign rulers over the people. I take absolute issue with all those who hold such @ position.” —From Theodore Roosevelt’ ad- dress before the Ohio Constitu-. tional Convention at Columbus.

Max Bogatin, Simon Knebel, Miss Jane Beck and Miss Thema Commetta had come from Philadelphia to care for the children. Most of the youngsters were of Russian nationality, comprising Poles, Hebrews and others, and they were gathered at the railroad station before 7 o’clock this morning. Joseph Bedard, treasurer of the Strike Commit- tee, bought 54 tickets for the party. Acting City Marshal Sullivan with his forces and a detail of militia, un- der Lieut. Col. Dunn, were at the station. Sullivan entered the station after the children had arrived and told the men and women that he would not allow the children to leave. Some of the parents became alarmed and withdrew with their children, but a considerable portion remained. Members of the children’s committee of the strikers and the Philadelphia delegation determined to carry out their purpose. As the train drew into the station, word was given and the policemen blockaded the door leading from the waiting room. Children Join in Uproar. Some women came out first and the police quickly drew them to one side. The women began at once to scream and as the little ones fol- lowed they became frightened ane joined in the uproar. Policemen seized children by their arms and carried them to one slide, directing that they should run away from the mass of struggling humanity. Wom- en’s hats were knocked askew and their hair became disheveled as they were hustled away from the depot entrance. Those who continued to resist the police were placed under arrest. Babies Brought to Station. The situation developed a new feature a short time after the arrest of the women when husbands began to arrive at the police station, car- rying babies which they asked should be given to the mothers. Some of these were babes at the breast, In one case a 12-weeks-old baby was brought by the father. Later in the day the strikers at a meeting voted to make another at- send a group to Philadel- phia and the delegation from that city was requested to remain here until Monday. . Appeal for General Strike. An appeal for a general strike of al! workers in the city was contained in a circular issued over the signature of the strike committee of the Industrial Workers of the World iate tonight. The circular was one of three “‘calls’”’ which were headed as foliows: “A call for action of all Lawrence.” ‘‘A few words to all workers who have returned to the mills.”’ “A call to the soldiers and militiamen,” Copies of the calls have been posted on buildings and trees In every available spot despite the fact that the police have been instructed to arrest any per- gon seen with them. ———2 LAWYER CALLS THE POLICE ANARCHISTS Leading Member of Boston Bar Denounces Militia for Per. mitting Outrage. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BOSTON, Feb. 24.—Edward 8. Crock- ett, one of the leading attorneys of this city, made a public protest against the conduct of the authorities at Lawrence in the following communication sent to the newspapers tonight: “If the circumstances are as stated, then the authorities at Lawrence, reé- sponsible for that outrage, are plain, unadulterated anarchists. They have by trute force prevented a perfectly law- ful thing from being done. They have, without due Warrant of law, without provocation or justification of any kind whatever, violently assaulted and griev- ously treated those poor people.

American troops will cross the border into Mexico as soon as one shot from the belligerents on the Mexican side of the boundary falls into American territory. This was the threat sent to the leaders of all fac- tions in Mexico. It was for the pur- pose of backing up the threat that President Taft ordered the additional troops to El Paso, which has a popu- lation of 45,000. They will report to Col. E. Z. Steever. The President is not unmindful of the danger of precipitating a general war between the United States and Mexico if he does send troops across the border. He feels that the minute a United States trooper invades Mex- ico the Mexicans will take such ac- tion as a declaration of war. But he is determined to have no repetition of the troubles this Government ex- perienced in the revolution a year ago. Trevino Insists He Is Loyal to Ma- dero, Who Relies on Orozco, MEXICO CITY, Feb. 24.—Gen. Ger- onimo Trevino in a message from Monterey to the Associated Press to~| day denied he was affiliated with the

and stated that he would re- main loyal to the Madero govern- ment. This:message came soon after President Madero had again insisted that Gens. Trevino and Pascual Oroz- co were loyal to the government. rebels

Woodrow Wilson will not try to take it away from him, or even to divide it with him, as he did the Oklahoma del- egation. Gov.

They were to stop here two hours on their way to Nashville.

Wilson, “and I have seen a good deal of comment on the song, but I have not hed the pleasure of hearing it sung.” “Do you think,” asked the reportet, referring to the action of the Joplin couvention in attaching the song to the rk campaign, “that any one candi- 6 has a right to monopolize a song ich makes such a universal appeal to the spirit of Democracy?’ “As to that,’’ replied the candidate tiously, “‘I could not express an opin- without hearing the air as well as wory.”’ To the reporter, who has a one-octave e, this remark from the statesman the “‘one-track mind” sounded like a lienge. He glanced at the cartoonist, who sat in the entrance of the state- som where he could intercept any at- | pt at escape that the Governor or i companions might make. ‘And so, without even a preliminary i-mi-re-do, the reporter caught the y of the humming car wheels, and in a tone high enough to overcome the latter of the rail and not loud enough to call the porter, he trolled forth: pe time I come to town, bovs keep kickin’ my dog aroun’; diff’rence if he is a houn’, ta quit fekin’ my dog aroun’. ‘As the last wailing note died away. vy.

The building was occupied as bachelor quarters by Sebastiano VDematteo, borer, and two other men. Beneath the structure the police found a broken bottle, which they believe was a part of an infernal machine. Dematteo and his comrades declared that they had no enemies, but they were so alarmed that they asked police pro- tection.

Champ Clark established headquarters at the Ebbitt House and necessarily there must be a lot of employes, Among them came Charles F. Wil- liams of Arkansas, who previously had compiled some information for thie House Committee on Expenditures in the Postoffice Department. There are a lot of capital letters in this story, but that can’t be helped; it is because of the numerous investigating commit- tees and subcommittees and—— Well, anyhow, after Mr. Williams, came a quiet, efficient, hard-working but humorous minded lady named Mrs. Clark. She had been employed by the Census Bureau and had left there only when the Census Bureau work was com- ing to an end. Mrs. Clark looked over the outfit, and sat down at her typewriter. ‘As a whole, she approved the personne! of the of- fice, but Williams was separated from this opinion. Instead of telling the folks at home about it, or nursing a grouch or going out and making suffragette speeches, Mrs. Clark, at her typewriter, wrote a piece of poetry. She had it put on the mimeograph and handed it out to the press. Then she went home. This is the opinion of Mrs Clark (no ‘in of the Speaker, for whom she Is working).

Sister and brother, cusing her husband of kidnaping their 3-year-old daughter and the second charged by his wife with ab- ducting their 6-year-old son, are principal figures in suits to be heard soon in the Circuit Court. In papers which will be filed to- morrow, Mrs. Pansy May Scammell of 4103 Morgan street, asks a divorce from Harry CC. Scammell and the cus- tody of their son, Lindsey, who, she asserts, has been kidnaped three times by his father during the last year. In a pending suit, Scammel's Sister, Mrs. Anna Pearl Fisher, de- mands the continued custody of her daughter, Pearl Lucille, who, she al- leges, was kidnaped by her father, Nathan W. Fisher. Mrs. Scammel’s divorce papers were prepared in the office of Attorney “. Porter Johnson. She accuses Scam- mel, a traveling salesman, of address- ing her with abusive language be- fore strangers, of being jealous of her women friends, of choking a assaulting her, and of refusing to support her since April, 1911, al- though “he has gq large income.” Was Elopement Bride at 17. Mrs. Scammell ig living with her mother, Mrs. May Hatfield, at the Morgan street address. Her petition states that she married Scamme}] Feb. 6, 1904, after an elopement to Potosi, Mo., when she was 17 years old and that they separated in No- vember, 1911. Since the separation, Mrs. Scammel has supported herself by acting as a demonstrator in de- partment stores. Mrs. Scammel stated veotertay that her husband kidnaped their child a vear ago in Los Angeles, Cal, but brought him back two weeks later when he contracted measles. In April, 1911, she said, Scammel took the boy from Los Angeles to San Francisco and she did not see him again until September, when his father brought him to St. Louis.

Mrs. Hatfield gave him a ecard of invitation and he agreed to go and to take the boy with him. When Mrs. Scammel reached her home late in the even- ing, her mother was surprised that her husband and the boy were not with her. Mrs. Scammel said she had not seen them.

He will be associated with Judge H. 8 Priest, John D. and Loomis C. Johnson; Judson, Green & Henry; Morton Jour- dan and the firm of Fordyce, Holliday & White. One of Kellogg's most noted trust prosecutions was that which he con- ducted against the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. It resulted in the decree of the United States Supreme Court ordering the dissolution of the great corporation into its constituent compa- nies. That ing on The employment of the noted St. decree has an important bear: the present Pierce-Rockefeller fight, as the Pileree interests contend that the Standard is trying to control the Waters Pierce company for the pur- of perpetuating the monopoly which the Government has striven to break up. Kellogg is not now in the Govern- ment’'s employ, his services in the Standard Oil case having ended when the decree was handed down. H.

') NEW YORK, Feb. 2%4.—That Margaret Cameron, variously called “the Girl of Mystery” and “the Cinderella of the Hawley Millions,” was at one time an innocent and dependent country maid seems hardly credible in the light of the shrewd and sophisticated manner in which she is playing her cards in the Breat gamble over the late railroad magnate’s estate. | The former Kansas City waif is prov- “ing herself to be an exceedingly strong- 4 minded, though tactful, person, wholly _@apable of taking care of herself. The -brothers,- sisters, nephews and nieces of Edwin Hawley are in great fear of her _ because of papers she says she pos- Besses that give her almost unlimited _ power over the estate. "That they have convinced themselves She is not “bluffing’’ is evidenced by the fact that they have announced that they will not try to get the town man- Bion and the country place at Effing- ham Park away from her and that they Will not object to the setting aside of pnough money to keep up these prop- erties in the style in which they have beén maintained. In other words, this practically amounts to a concession of all that she asks. Miss Cameron is doing all she can to keep out of the newspapers. Not one reporter has caught sight of her since the financier’s death. Not one word of interview has been given out by her. The papers have been full of stories _ about her, mostly unfavorable, but she bas not deigned to let anyone know that she ever heard of them or cared what. was being printed about her.

Being afflicted with stomach trouble about thirty years and have taken so much medicine for it and found nothing like Peruna.

Now I am much better and weigh one hundred and forty-five pounds.’’ Catarrh of Stomach. Mrs. Mary Depper, R.

By Associated Press, CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 24.—Ac- cording to dispatches from Belrut, the Turkish forts there, the corvette Avnillah and a torpedo boat, replied to the fire of Italian warships. The Avnillah wag struck and was soon in flames. The torpedo boat was sunk, Thirty persons were killed, two of the dead, it is believed, being Rus- sian subjects. About 50 persons were wounded, Several shells were dropped into the town, and the offices of the Ottoman Bank were damaged. During the panic which followed the bombardment, a mob forced the Gov- ernment armory and got arms. The Italian warships at the conclusion of the bombardment steamed away. News of the bombardment caused a panic on the bourse, resulting in a fal] of consols., It is believed that the Italians will continue their attacks on other coast towns. The Porte is expected to carry out its determina- tion to expel all Italians from Tur- key and close the Dardanelles.

HUSBAND IS 40 YEARS OLD —— Might Have Been Married on Joint Anniversary, but Couldn’t Wait Two Years. Because they have a birthday only once every four years, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Benton WNilpatrick, 3950 Ash- have been subjected to now they land avenue, jesting by their friends, fear to entertain on their joint anni- versary Thursday, Feb. 29. Kilpatrick had planned a big cele- bration to which he had intended in- viting friends, but on second thought he gave it up. He is undecided whether to remain at home to spend his birthday in seclusion, Cases where two persons born on Feb. 29 have married are very rare. In fact, Kilpatrick says he has never heard of a married couple having birthdays on that date. Had the Kilpatricks decided to wait two years instead of being mar- ried in 1906 they wonld have been able to celebrate their birthday and wedding anniversaries on the same day. But inasmuch as the 1906 Feb- ruary had no 29 on the calendar, they became man and wife on the closest day to that date, Feb. 28. Kilpatrick was born Feb. 29, 1872. He is four years older than Mrs. Kilpat- rick. While Kilpatrick is really 40 years old, he has had but 10 birthdays, while Mrs. Kilpatrick has had but nine. They have one son. “T have known my wife since she was about 4 years old,” said Kilpatrick to the Post-Dispatch. “Since we were children we both have been ‘kidded’ considerably because we get but one birthday in every four years. Even be- fore we were old enough to think of getting married there were friends who suggested what an odd wedding it would be if we should marry each other. ‘‘We decided to marry six years ago, and, while it would have been an odd- ity to have been married Feb. 2), we felt that we didn’t want to wait two addi- tional years.”’ Kilpatrick is president of the Alex. Kilpatrick & Sons Foundry Co., Twelfth and Howard streets. COLLEGE PRESIDENT Georgian Pleads Guilty to Im- proper Conduct After Raid on Hotel Room. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. 2%4—W. F. Brown. of La Grange, Ga., former head of the Southern Female College, one of the oldest institutions for girls in the South, before Judge Broyles this aft- ernoon pleaded guilty to the charge of taking Pauline Reid, a pretty 19-year- old pupil of the college, to an Atlanta hotel and registering there with her as husband and wife. Brown was fined heavily on the charge of improper con- duct and was bound over to the State courts. The girl was released with a reprimand. The college president and the girl were arrested this morning. She was returning to the college at La Grange from Chipley, Ga., where she had vis- ited her parents. Brown met her in to the hotel. An Atlanta woman who saw Brown and the girl, suspected something was wrong and notified the police, who raid- ed the room and found the college pres- Lident and the girl. “Ah, my wife will stand by me in this sad fall,’’ he said. ‘She will forgive me when she knows how penitent I am. A new start in life I will have to make; but thank God I have a faithful wife to keep me straight. I guess I have risen too fast. We will just start at the bot- tom and rise again.”’ Advices from La Grange tonight say that the trustees at a meeting dismissed Brown.

im KLBAN # MOST RELIGIOUS } CHAMPION IN RING Conqueror of Attell Deserves Success Because He Has No Bad Habits, Says Physician. POPULAR IN CLEVELAND Plays Marbles for Hours With Children and Endears Himself in Other Ways to Friends.

“Worst Attell Should = Have Got Was Draw,” Says James J. Jeffries SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4. HB inability of Abe Attell to “come back” has aroused the sympathy of James J. Jef- fries, who sent the following dis- patch to Promoter James Coffroth relative to the Attell-‘‘Harlem Tom- my” Murphy bout here on March 9. “Jim: Don’t call off Attell fight. Give him a chance to redeem him- self. Worst he should have got was a draw, as he chased Kilbane all over the ring. Do this for me. Abe is still champion here, old pal.” The message came from Los An- geles. Attell sent a similar plea, adding that he would arrive here Monday. Coffroth says he has no intention of calling off the match.

By a Staff spe nee gg of the Post- atch, CLEVELAND, = Feb. 2%4.—‘‘Johnny Kilbane cannot help having luck, for he is a thoroughly religious boy and de- yoted to his wife and baby beyond Measure, not to mention the manner in ‘which he takes care of and supports his bdiind father. A young man who is g0 righteous and dutiful is bound to be puccessful in any line of business. Dr. A. P. Scully of this city, who has been physician for the Kilbane family for several years past, voiced the fore- going voluntary statement with refer- ence to the new featherweight cham- pion of the world in a talk with the writer today. There never lived an athlete in Cleve- land so universally well liked as John- Ny Kilbane. He is a boy of magnetic personality. Full- hicoded. Irish, but of American birth, the little champion has the typical Milesian laughing haze! eyes. He wears a perpetual smile when among his friends, and his expression, even in battle, changes little. He is the personification of good nature and gen- @rosity and is noted in his home neigh- borhood for his love for the company of ‘@hildren. He has been known to play Marbles for hours on the sidewalk with the little ones in the vicinity of. his home, and, as a result, every kid in the neighborhood swears by Johnay. The Kilbanes were a poor family, and When Johnny's father went blind, about mine years ago, it devolved upon Johnny, ithe only child, to assume the family burden, which he did like a little man. ‘He left St. Malachi’s school with only ‘another year to go before he would have graduated, in order to support himself and his father. He obtained a Position as timekeeper on the Cleveland ‘and Pittsburg ore docks and for a few ‘years managed to keep himself and his ; Sken parent comfortably. And to this ‘day the Kilbane neighbors tell of how little Johnny used to lead his father ‘@bout when through with his work, and On Sundays and holidays. The pair were Anseparable. His devotion to his father Won hundreds of friends for the future — a Model Johnny Son, And that same affection ant dutiful consideration is still kept up. Johnny i his dad are frequently seen togeth- arm in arm, on the streets now when the boy is at home. \Johnn; married a beautiful and accom- P i Uttle Irish girl about two years ago. was & Miss McDonnell, daughter of a Side business man. They have a pretty tie baby girl. ® months old, and if ever husband and father was proud of wife and by, Champion Johnny Kilbane is proud of interesting little family. Abe Attell, when here a few monthe after fret bout with Johnny, told the writer he never met a finer little gentleman | or ot of the ring than Johnny Kilbane. Tt te for these reasons that the people of be are just wild with enthusiasm over r champion. He is Cleveland's first fistic and to state that his fellow towns. are proud of him puts it mildly. Notn. else is talked of here since the resuit of battle was announced. Bven the women are interested. famace Hibane devped into the ring at the ‘Balle Club's smoker one night in the win- | of 1007, he was a frall-looking. smiling ; He waa on for a three-round bout & rugged Weat Bide boy named Paddy When Kilbane Began Boxing.

By HARRY S. SHARP. Referee for the St. Louis A. C. and the Post-Dispatch’, Boxing Authority. Members of the Missouri Athletic Club witnessed six boxing bouts in the club gymnasium last night. All but two of them went the limit of three rounds each. None of the bouts was of sensational order, but the one that probably pleased the most was between Frank Sherman and Fred Usinger, boxing in the 158- pound class. It was of the give-and- take kind and but little time was wasted. It was a good bout between the heavy boys, and, while not spec- tacular, there were some hard ex- changes. At the end Sherman received the judges’ decision, and it met with the crowd’s approval. Bishop Is Disqualified. John Mullen, boxing Oliver Bishop in the l15-pound class, was disqualified in the third round for holding and hit- ting after being warned several times not to do so. It looked very much as if Mullen took this means of ending the bout. George Schacht, a new-comer in the amateur biff game, lost to Tom Harri- gan. Schacht went down in the sec- ond round as the result of a hard right to the jaw, and again in the third round, and the bout was stopped to prevent further punishment. Up to the time he was put down in the second round he was outpointing Harrigan, and the chances are good that he will show improvement in future bouts. Dick Garten won a well-earned decision from John Jackson, the latter very willing, but swinging wild and missing with a reg- ularity that was surprising. He tried par- ticularly hard to land a settler with his right to Garten’s head, but it seldom land- ed where it would do the most good. This bout was at 135 pounds. O’Connell Is Clever, Joe*O’Connell, at 125 pounds, made it very interesting for Frank Manning, the clever little redhead, who has made himself quite a favorite by his aggressive style of milling. The bout went the limit and the judges de- cided in favor of Manning, a decision that was not well received. O'Connell boxes very much on the order of Oliver Kirk, and his feinting and fast footwork made Manning miss badly. O’Connell uses a straight left and follows quickly with his right, but as yet lacks judgment of distance. When he has ac- quiregy this he will be a rather hard boy to beat’ in the amateur tournaments, as the rules are very favorable to hig style of box- ing. He can hit with either hand and has @ good defense. The boys were a bit wary of each other, and on this aecount the bout was slower than it should have been. Claves a Good Boy. Harry Claves won from Tommy Lyons at 125 pounds, gaining the judges’ decision at the end of three rounds. This bout was marred by Lyons’ holding tactics. Almost every time he led or was hit he would wrap his arms about his opponent and hold on close. He seemed to be timid of punish- ment and held whenever an opportunity af- forded itself. All the competing boxers represented the M. A. C. excepting Oliver Bishop, who came from the Business Men’s Gymnasium. REILLY WINS 500-YARD SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIP PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 25.—No records were broken in the Middle Atlantic swimming championships of the A. A.

attempt to hurt him. Kilbane took his medi- cine like a man and surprised Dunn by the courageous manner in which he fought back. Jimmy decided at once that the boy had the right materta! for a high-class boxer. and he took him under his managerial wing. He developed the boy gradually. and a few months later he sent him against a sturdy boy named Tom Mangan. Johnny surprised the natives by knocking his man out tn the third round. Dunn became more enthusiastic than ever and he matched Johnny with three different boys during the month, and he won each bout decisively. Has Bout With Namesake. Then he sent him against his namesake. and present sparring partner. Tommy Kil- bane, for a six-round bout at Lorain, O., and Tommy was awarded the decision. He was matched with Jack White of Chicago at Windsor, Ont.. in the following month and secured a draw, making a great showing. His speed startied the Canadians. A _ yic- tory over Tommy Kilbane in a 25-round bout followed, and after that the boy climbed rap- idly, adding to his ring tricks with every bout. He won decisions over several good boys, including Paul Kohler. Young Baylor. Clyde Lemaster, Jack White. Johnny Whit- taker, Biz Mackey, Jeff Gayney, Marty Heff- ron, Al Delmont. Bobby Tickle. Patsy Bran- nigan, Jimmy Walsh. Gus Wlleon, Charley White and several others.

Sutton. Born in the timber lands of Michi- gan, a son of the North, Sutton at an early age “helped out” in his father's sawmill. When not yet 9 years old he met with an accident that cost him both hands. Ten years after his mishap he moved to Milwaukee and entered a medical school. During his idle moments there he used to accompany his fellow stu- dents to a billiard room. After they By W. J. O’CONNOB.

St. Louis has no amateur now who can even furnish interesting competition for this man without hands. However, that’s ahead of the story. We'll let Sutton tell of his own expe- riences: “After I had become proficient enough to play a fairly good game at straight rail I went on a tour of the West. Most people were too skeptical to come to my exhibitions. I was a bit dis- couraged at first, but I took the bit in my teeth and decided to make it a go.

The St. Leos are favorites to win from the Columbus Club in the opener, 4s the latter team has proven easy vic- tims for the ten-time winners this sea- con. In the first four rounds the pen- nant collectors have boosted their av- ige by annexing each game and the Finneganites have their last chance to redeem themselves in today’s game. The changes in the lineups will be that of “Rube” Adams and one of the Flynn brothers in place of two St. Leos reg- as several are on the crippled e > Between the Innisfails and Irish-Amer- icans in the second game, the battling promises to be of lively nature. In the four tim®@s thew have met in the season’s series, the Pine street young- sters captured one, while the Grand avenue huskies grabbed three. The score in each round, however, was close. On three occasions the verdict ended 21, while a 1—0 score intervened.

HOPPE |S GOING BACK; HIS NERVE BROKEN AT LAST Strain of Many Championships Is at Last Telling on Boy Wonder.

That Willie Hoppe, world’s cham- pion cueist at 18.2 balkline and al- most any other game he chooses to play, is losing his “nerve” and is soon destined to tumble from his throne, is the declaration made by Charley Peterson, the well-known local billiard hall man who is just back from New York, where he saw the Hoppe-Sutten match, Peterson makes .this with such conviction that one. To ‘think of. Hoppe, who av- eraged 29 and won din a canter from George Sutton, should be on the verge of an artistic collapse, is more than the cue fans can digest. But Peterson is predicting ,;the fall of Hoppe, and Charley is one man .who should know whereof he speaks. Peterson has been more closely as- sociated with Hoppe tham any other man in the billiard game. When Willie, then the boy wonder, first par- aded under the calcium light in Paris years ago and defeated Vignaux fer the world’s 18.2 title, he promptly sent a message to Peterson to join him in New York. Hoppe appealed to Peterson as his best friend to help him (Hoppe) to retain the title. “Pete” Practices With Hoppe. Peterson hurried to New York and prac- ticed with Hoppe, and much of the finesse which the boy wonder attained was taught by Peterson. Later Hoppe beat Slosson in a challenge match, and then he won the international 18.2 championship § tourna- ment. In 1905 “he played in the all-star five-man tournament in Chicago, and be- fore entering that big meet he had Peter- son give him a few lessons. After beat- ing Morningstar, Sutton, Schaefer, Slosson and all the other stars. Hoppe made a tour of the country, accompanied by Peter- son, who gave exhibitions of fancy shots. These facts are given merely to estab- lish the fact that Peterson is well ac- quainted with Hoppe and Hoppe’s game. Now hist to what Charley has to say about Mr. Hoppe: “TIT saw Hoppe’s match with George Sut- ton in the ballroom of the Waldorf Hotel in New York, and nothing surprised me as much in my whole life as the way Willie played. I almost guffered a nervous breakdown watching him, Hoppe Is Going Back. “Time was when Hoppe’s playing thrilled me. I have seen him swing into shots before the balls had stopped rolling. He was a ripd-fire shooter, a keen judge of angles, who could figure his shots while the ivories were still in action. Every stroke was perfect. There was definition and precision in his every action, He surely was a wonder, “But that Hoppe is no more. The Hoppe who played Sutton was a nervous, uncer- tain ‘fiddler.’ He hesitated before making the easiest shots. He would start to play a masse and then change to a follow—and miss it. He made a wonderful average of 29 for the match, and he won it. But my! What billiards he played! *“T venture to say he tried 65 per cent of his shots the wrong way and made most of .bem. He was in great luck. I sat with a few newspaper men and we counted while Hoppe deliberated over the easiest kind of hots. Once we counted 31 before Hoppe made up his mind. That's equal to a Gelay of 31 seconds. I can remember when no shot on the table would cause Hoppe to wait more than five seconds. But things have changed. Knows His Weakness. “After the match I was the first to greet him. I didn’t congratulate him. I up and told him it was the poorest exhibition I had ever seen him give. He agreed with me and deplored the fact that he was losing his old- time confidence. “*Il have been practicing too much with Slosson, who is too deliberate,’ Hoppe told me and I advised him to scratch Sloason off his list. At Willie's request I practiced with him the next day. “I made a rule before our match started that Hoppe should count four and then shoot between each shot. He did as I said, but he missed many shots. However, he's got to get back to his old rapid-fire game if he’s to stay on top. “This amateur, Calvin Demarest, will beat Hoppe in another year, if Willie doesn’t return to his old form. I'm telling you Hoppe is no more the Hoppe of old than I am a white hope. He's sure to fall soon.’ George H. Sutton, the handless wonder, overheard Peterson's talk. Sutton is @ grad- uate of medicine and a great theorist. He explained Hoppe’s case like this: “Hoppe hg: ng will fnd the 18.3 game Ho Lop. aati, began play: ci Se Pe Tel, one ge statement it startles

UT around these stars some of the settings are weak. A decadent first sacker, in Hal Davis himself; a pitching staff that is only ordinary, outside of Gregg; a fair catching de- partment, and an allround reputation for lack-luster attack are sole of the drawbacks to this outfit. The Naps need some sturdy handling to put them higher than third place this season. The team las possible factors in el them. Wallace would be ready to talk pennant if he owned Gregg, Jackson and Lajoie in addition to his personal? outfit. CAN'T EVEN UP THE LEAGUE. AN B. JOHNSON, who Pooh- Bah-ed the American League into a@ receptive frame of mind, would undoubtedly like to do a little distrib- uting of players, so as to even up his race a little bit more. For, be it known, the National League has some race in front of it, this year. Here are six teams with a hunch that the pennant is not an impossibility. The league has been Weakened, in the last three years. The ‘““baseball’’ trust, at least, has lost some of its virility. New York, Chicago and Pittsburg are all feebler by reason of old ége and this year my be expected to give way at last to some of the ofitsiders. These managers are the brains of the league, how- ever, and it is really hard to believe that they can be jockeyed out of -the top posi- tions, even though they command senile ma- terial. = 2 * WHAT OF THE QUAKERS? LL eyes are focused on the Quakers as the club that is going to do best, this season, in the National League. The assumption is based on a rattling good pitch- ing staff, in Alexander, Chalmers, Moore, Scanion and others. Not to mention the well-balanced character of the team every- where. The infield is -fortified everywhere to best advantage; the outfield has really no parallel in the National League, now, not even the famous trio of the Cubs—Schulte, Hofman and Sheckard. Magee and Paskert, and either Cravath or Titus should put up a big part of the club’s attack. Magee was not at his best, last year, because his row with Umpire Finneran. Titus broke a leg, too, and was out a long time, When all of them are going normally it is a .300 average outfield. . . 7 TEAM A SLUGGING OUTFIT. UT the Phillies don’t have to rely so much on them for attack. Luderus, Lobert, Dooin himself are all .300 men when right. The club is a natural hitting team and, minus misfortune should be the club they’ll have to catch, this year. Dooin’s misfortunes last year virtually killed the team. With good luck this time, the Quakers ought to at least displace one or two of the ‘‘pennant trust’’ from the posi- tions they seem to have cinched for the last eight years. + * 7 DONT COUNT THE CARDS OUT. INCINNATI and even the Cardinals must be taken into account, this year, the pennant race, though their failure of last year is against their doing much more than crawling into fourth place. The Reds appear to have a better team of individuals than the Car- dinals; but they lack the spark of Bresna- han. With Roger in the fray it is a cer- tainty we shall have some excitement before being crowded into the second division. . e . a S, with six fighters for the flag in he National, and one team that stands alone in the American, it’s likely the National will again have a big attendance call. Last year the National outdrew the American materially. That was partly be- cause St. Louis was a drawing card neither at home nor abroad, and partly because the Athletics clinched the pennant before the finish of the schedule. This season the discrepancy will be even greater, unless some teams that do not now figure should make a fiash, It’s a problem that has the newer league worried, too, never forget it.

Mr. Pow- ers says the league will be a go, even though the present outlook is none too roseate, “Louisville has not pulled out, as was stated,” declared Powers. “Pér- song not having authority announced that the Louisville club would not be a member of the eix clubs.

Monday evening. Attell-Forbes Frame-Up Ended 2 Rounds Too Soon

Same Result, Bia the Sev Contemplated a Victory for Abe in the Seventh, but an Accident Produced “On the Level,” in Fifth.

By HARRY the fifth round. It was the fourth over Attell at the end of 15 rounds. Attell was coming to the front very fast, and by reason of having won in St. Louis over such boxers as George Dixon, Kid Broad, Kid Abel and the late Johnnie Reagan, had become a lo- cal favorite. On the other hand, Forbes’ quick and decisive defeats of Champion Danny Daugherty and a 15-round deci- sion over Tommy Feltz had won him many friends, and when he and Attell stepped into the ring on the night in question the crowd was pretty evenly divided in its support of the two boxers. The match resulted in a dazzling dis- play of scientific boxing and aroused those present to a high pitch of enthu- siasm. The men boxed at top speed, and Forbes had the better of it. He forced the fighting, his footwork was better, and he was hitting straight from the shoulder for the jaw of his oppo- nent in the same manner he had boxed and won from Danny Daugherty. Attell “Lays Back.” During this time Attell seemed con- tent to follow the pace, taking care not to fall too far behind, and I remember distinctly the impression his cool and calculating manner made upon me. I knew he had speed in reserve, and I wondered how many rounds he was go- ing to permit himself to be outpointed before he started his best. For four rounds this sort of thing went on, and at the beginning of the fifth Forbes was very aggressive and soon had Attell covering and backing away until he reac) ed the ropes on the west side of the riag, and there he stood in a crouched position with his hands before his face, while Forbes appeared to be making every effort to land a winning punch. It is hard to say just how long this continued, but it was long enough to bring the crowd to its feet cheering like mad and calling on Forbes to “Put him out!’ and the latter looked as if he was trying to do it. I was standing very close to the men, and I wondered how long it would last. The strain was in- tense, and I bent low and peered into the face of Attell behind his gloved hands, and I was astonished at what I saw. The little Hebrew boxer stood with eyes wide open gazing out between his hands upon Forbes, with never 4 sign of fear or excitement, and I no- ticed he was set on his feet as if fora rush. Attell Grasps Opportunity. In a moment the opportunity came, for Forbes had taken one step back, and Attell flew-out with his arms moving like piston rods. The unexpected recovery and sudden attack took Forbes by surprise and he was forced to the center of the ring before he could collect himself. He tried to sidestep, but Attell was close upon him and the best he could do was to change direction and he went with his back to the ropes on the south side of the ring. He hit the ropes with such speed that he was shot forward on the rebound and as he came off he aimed his right for Attell’s head, but the latter slipped the blow and countered straight with his right to the jaw of Forbes with terrific force. Forbes reeled, tried to recover and then fell in the southwest corner of the ring. I1 counted 10 and his seconds then began work to revive him. I might have counted 16—-he was out, of that I was certain. The ‘‘spring back’’ from the ropes had helped do the work. The crowd filed out in animated discus- Whiskey Costs Only 12¢ a Gallon Biock, Kaneas thousands of ormula for M. egg > 914 Marcel Cit sending out caeitioke daily, containing the making whis that it onl be sent vou free.

| S. SHARPE, Referee of the St. Louis Athletic Club and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. NE of the most exciting finishes ever seen in a local ring was that bétween Harry Forbes and Abe Attell when they met at the West End Club on February 1, 1904, ending if a knockout of Forbes in meeting between these boxers, with the shade in favor of Forbes, for the latter had secured draws in two bouts of six and ten rounds and in the latter part of 1902 had won a decision sion and declared it one of the best boxing shows ever seen. The Forbes supporters were inclined to think the knockout an acci- dent, while Attell’s friends gave him full credit for it, and so did I. Bout Was a “Frame-Up.” Up to this time I had no suspicion that anything was wrong. but within an hour aft- er leaving the ring a man whom I knew well as a friend and in whom I had and have yet absolute confidence came to me and said: ‘‘That fight was framed!’’ I thought he must be mistaken, and asked for proof. He told me that a lot of money had been bet in Chicago that Attell would win by a knockout and that several thousand dollars had been left with him by Chicago parties to bet the same way. Instead of doing so. however, he had locked {t up in his safe and it was there then. He sald the fight had been framed for Forbes to lose in the sev- enth round. I then remembered that this same man had come to me before the fight and advised me to watch it very closely. About two hours after the fight a telegram was handed me from a Chicago paper ask- ing my opinion of the Knockout. and if I thought it genuine. I replied at once, say- ing that in my judgment Forbes had been knocked out, and deseribed the blow that did the work. I cannot be mistaken in that. because I was within ome step of the men and saw the blow land. This blow. I am sure, was not ‘‘framed,” because the hap- penings of the previous few seconds were too rapid to have been the _ result of re- hearsal, and when Forbes shot back from the ropes with right hand extended, Attell, like a flash, did the natural thing for a trained boxer to do—slip the blow and shoot out a straight | counter. For a long time afterwards I investigated and made many inquiries and there was much evidence to support the claim that a ‘‘frame-up” had been intended for the sev- enth round—but it never happened. Per- haps it was mere suspicion, I don’t know. Fut df anything weg contemplated, the plans went wrong and a genuine knockout made unnecéssary a pretended one, Knockout Hard to Fake. It is not so easy to fake a knockout as some persons imagine. Of courze, it has been done, but as a rule it results in such a clumsy mess that the fraud is easily de- tected. There are no infallible signs, but there are some which may be generally fol- lowed. For instance, a man who is knocked out usually falls face forward. This is be- cause the blow has resulted in a temporary paralysis of the motor nerves, causing the knees to give way and the body pitches for- ward. It may happen, however, that a heavy blow will lift a man from his feet, throw him backward and he may fall on his shoulders and back, but even then he is apt to turn on his side, though I have seen them remain on their back without moving after th- fall. When this happens the arms wil! usually be found extended at full length. Another sign following a knockout is di- lation of the pupils of the eyes, with the lids half closed. This, however, has its excep- tion. because dilation does not always fol- low. These are signs that cannot be faked and if they are apparent the knockout is genu- ine. Absence of them, however, In the case of a boxer who remains down for an unrea- sonable time after the count of 10 may give good cause for suspicion,

| \s Maia, SOB. eohe thn otttin CRIGER AGREES TO COACH YOUNG BROWN PITCHERS Veteran Catcher Will Tutor Hurlers for Six Weeks Before Season Opens. Tee ‘Lou Criger, the veteran catcher whe for years handled the shoots of Cy Young, the Grand Old Man of baseball, will report to Manager Wallace at Sportsman’s Park March 6 and take charge of the young Brown pitchers, ac-« cording to an announcement made by Col. Hedges Saturday night. Criger wilj not be signed as a player; he’s merely hired to coach the embryo Benders ang Mathewsons for six weeks or until the champtonship season opens. The acquisition of Criger, deemed one of the wisest catchers that performed is the big arena, rounds out a great exec- utive staff for Hedges’ team this sea- son. There is the commander-in-chief, Tactician Wallace, Lave Cross, who is booked as an acrobatic comedian and general court jester, besides being «a coach for the young infielders and as- sistant manager. Next is George Sto- vall, the only man who ever was fired for proving himself a successful man- ager of a big League club. Stovalt comes this way from Cleveland, where he was dethroned after lifting the Naps from the depths of seventh place to «4 comfortable berth just behind the Ath- letics and Tigers. Stovall is expected to give many valuable suggestions on how the Browns may possibly evacuate the subcellar of Ban Johnson's base- ball plant. And -last, but not least, is Criger, whose hair has turned gray be- cause of the large chunks of baseball wisdom crowded into his baseball bean. the Browns surely will show a little in- clination to play baseball, instead of horse, next season. Stovall Coming March 4. More cheering intelligence emanated from the sacred sanctum of the American League tall-enders’ headquarters in the Bank of Commerce Building Saturday evening. Col, Hedges comes to bat with the announce- ment that George Stovall will be here March 4. to take up his first-sacking duties. That spikes all rumors about Stovall being dia- bolically opposed to playing with the Browns. Another Interesting item is that Eddie Hallinan, who is looked upon as a probable successor to Manager Wallace as shortstop of the Browns, has spilled the required amount of ink on his document end will be along anon. Eddie hibernates in San Fran- cisco, where they dance the Grigaly Bear and the Texas Tommy. Anent Mr. Stovall's decision to report. Mr, Hedges said: “Stovall is signed with our club. We as- sumed the contract he had with Cleveland and which he signed a year ago. He has no kicks to register; at least he has not registered them. He has been excused from making the French Lick trip because he says he's in condition to play right now, he having played winter ball on the coast.” -. —"

MOTORIST SAYS WOMEN TALK ON CROSSINGS Most of Accidents Due to Care- less Pedestrians Stopping in Roadway.

The Board of Governors of the St. Louis Automobile Club met last week . to plan a campaign to improve the con- ditions of motoring. Among the things considered was the traffic regulations of St. Louls. While the present condi- tions are very good, as a result of the past two years’ improvements, yet there | is still room for improvement in some respects. Many other cities have excellent traf- fic regulations which work out for the benefit of all users of the streets. The Board of Governors authorized the or- ganization of a committee, to be com- posed of men who are most familiar in matters of traffic, whose duty it shall be to investigate the traffic regula- tions of other cities, and make sugges- tions to the authorities for the adoption of such regulations as are suitable to the city of St. Louis. Special care will be made in the selection of the chair- man of’ this committee. Oriticises Feminine Pedestrians. An automobile owner who is a careful driver and something of a critic said of this move of the Automobile Club: “I hope President Britton will in- struct his committee to draw up a lot of rules to govern pedestrians, rather than to find more rules to hamper and -annoy automobilists. Upon my soul, I think the people of St. Louis are the least observing, the most careless of their own safety of any in the world. This is mighty good for the ambulance- chasing damage lawyers, but it is tough on te motorists, and, of gourse, equally tough on the people who are run down. “T suggest that a rule be made a law that people must stay on the pavement when waiting for a car uatil the car is close at hand. The practice is now fo get out to the edge of the car track and remain there instead of on the pavement. The driver of a car has to violate the traffic laws by going on the wrong side of the street in order to keep from hitting them. Children on the Street. “Another rule that should be enforced with heavy penalty is that children on the much-traveled streets must not play in the middle of the streets, and in par- ticular must not roller-skate there. “Another would be to fine a woman $100 if she stops in the middle of the crossing at Broadway and Washington avenue to tie her shoe or powder her nose. “Particularly I would like to see a heavy penalty attached to pedestrians who cross the street in the middle of the block instead of at the regular cor- ner. Half the accidents occur from this practice. “There are a lot of other offenses which people commit and for which : they should be fined, among them the . practice of holding ‘conversation fests’ in the middle of the street. Men do this as much as women, and they cuss a blue streak when the driver of a ‘wagon or motor car comes close to them.” DINGLEY ENTERED FOR SPEEDWAY EVENT INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 24.—Bert Dingley, famous for his work with a Pope-Hartford on the Pacific slope, will drive a Simplex in the next 500- mile international sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor’ Speedway. W. H. Carlson of Los Angeles pur- ' chased the Simplex mount in New York last week and will also enter Dingley at Santa Monica, May 4. This makes the eleventh entry to the Speedway event and Dingley is the fourteenth driver named. The other entries for the long grind are two Nationals to be driven by Wilcox, Merz, Herrick and Herr; two Stutz cars to be driven by Anderson and Zengel with Billy Knipper as relief driver: two Case cars piloted by Louis Disbrow and Joe Jagersber- ger; two Mercedes cars with De Pal- ma and Wishart named to drive; a Fiat entered by E. E. Hewlett of Los Angeles, driven by Teddy Tetzlaff, and a Lexington to be driven by Harry Knight. Others who have made known their intention to enter will bring'‘the list of starters up to 30, the Imit which has been placed on the field by the Speedway management. MOTOR CYCLE NEWS The motorcycle riders have not laid out any definite plans for Sunday's out- ing, owing to very unfavorable weather and bad road conditions, but have de- cided to patrol city thoroughfares in lieu of the country highways. The License Department at the city hall is issuing the motorcycle license plates, which are made of aluminum, four inches long by two and one-half Inches wide, numbers in black. Carbon forming in an engine can be reduced by so adjusting the carburetor that lean mixture is furnished at the high speed and medium engine speed, so the formation of carbon will be greatiy reduced.

Kulick twice broke the former record. «he first time he went over the course he carried his mechanician with him and his time was 34 4-5 seconds. On his sec- ond attempt he went the distance alone and succeeded in clipping his first mark by almost two seconds.

‘NO DANGER AT ALL, SAYS BENJ. F. BUSH HE statement of Mr. James J. Hill before the Stanley Steel Investigating Committee that competition will exist as long as hu- man nature exists, accords with my views. No matter how strong corpora- tions may be in certain lines of trade, the emulative spirit in man, with his desires and ambition, will ever tend to a course of action in- dependent of them. There will al- ways be minds alert enough to cir- cumvent the designs of the most powerful combinations and spirits bold enough to wage battle against them. In almost every line of endeavor there are natural conditions which cannot be overcome by any con- centration of wealth. fn the rall- road business, for fnustance, no com- bination, however strong, can ever hope to absolutely dictate rates while the rivers, lakes and oceans exist. These natural waterways fix maximum rates today beyond which the railways cannot go. The conditions which would curb a combination of the railroads ex- ist in other forms in the various lines of trade, and while the hu- man race exists and possesses the same instincts and feelings that now inspire and urge: people to ac- tion, I think the day will never come when competition © will be eliminated.

Letter to a Million Owners of HYOMEI Inhalers Some Information about the Money Back Cure for Catarrh, Coughs, Colds, Croup and Catarrhal Deafness, Because of the enormous sales of HYOMEI during the present year, we deem it advisable to publish this letter. HYOMEI has cured more cases of catarrh (acute, chronic, mild and Stubborn) than all the catarrh spe- Cialists in America. But in order to get the best and quickest results the directions should be closely followed. Change the gauze in the inhaler every week, or, better still, every four days — remove both stoppers from inhaler before using. Never mind how strongly of HY- OMEI the inhaler smells, to get actual benefit 15 drops of HYOMEI should be poured into the inhaler

three times a day. A less amount won't destroy the germs. Read the directions carefully and if you are afflicted with.a stubborn case of catarrh use the vapor treat- ment as directed. Remember that the little hard rubber inhaler will last a lifetime and that an extra bottle of HYOMEI with a generous supply of gauze can be obtained for only 50 cents. A complete HYOMEI outfit includ- ing inhaler costs $1.00 at dealers everywhere. Money back if not satisfied when you use HYOMBI for catarrh, ecatarrhal deafness, coughs, colds and croup. HYOMET contains no opium, cocaine, mercury or other harmful drugs. —ADV.

A GRAY HAIRS. QUIGKLY. VANISH HARWILESS REMEDY RESTORES COLOK A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs which unfortunately are looked upon as heralds of advancing age. Gray hair, however handsome it may be, makes a person look old. We all know the advantages of being young. Aside from the good impression a youthful appearance makes on oth- ers, simply knowing that you are “looking fit” gives. one courage to undertake and accomplish things. So why guffer the handicap of look- ing old on account of gray hairs, when a simple remedy will give your hair youthful color and beauty in a few days’ time? Most people know that common garden sage acts as a color restorer and scalp tonic as well. Our grand-/a itreatment. ing their hair dark, soft and luxuri- ant. In Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy we have an ideal prep- aration ef Sage, combined with Sul- phur and other valuable remedies for dandruff, itching scalp and thin, weak hair that is split at the ends Or constantly coming out. A few ap- plications of this valuable remedy will bring back the color, and in a short time it will remove every trace of dandruff and greatly improve the growth and appearance of the hair. Get a fifty-cent bottle from your druggist today, and notice the differ- ence in your hair after a few days’ ‘All druggists sell it, un- der guarantee that the money will be refunded if the remedy is not. exactly as represented.

I was baffled on every side by the relentless, crushing power of Rockefel- ler. Sources to which I might have turned for aid under other’ circum- oe stances were closed to me. I fought in of the courts. “A verdict in my iavor that I once se- cured was overthrown. ‘“‘Harassed, tormented, persecuted, I eventually threw up my haads, fig. uratively, signed something—just what I hardly knew--and received in return a mere pittance, for which I am now told I signed away every right I had.”’ But with me this was all hearsay. In my childhood I knew nothing of this— not until I heard Unele Lon’s testi- mony did I know the details. It is another aspect entirely blight that tockefeller brought upon th | the Merritts that I have seen all my lifée—since that first day I heard the name Rockefeller. was at the funeral in | Cassius in June, 1893. “OH, IF WE HAD ONLY NEVER HEARD OF HIM.” a little girl at fa- the the in It an- of the of my Uncle was only

MISS HEPZIABETH MERRITT. their faces were sad at its mention. Only a short while ago I saw tears run down my uncle’s cheeks as he pro- nounced the name. My father was away in court a great deal. When I went visiting to the neighbors they were always talking about father and Rockefeller. Almost everywhere I went someone would be sure to say: “Well, little girl, I hope your father wins.’’ And then, if there happened to be a stranger present, they would ex- plain that I was Al Merritt's girl, and that “Alf had that fellow Rockefeller in court.’’ When the case was in the court the first time father did win. The jury said Mr. Rockefeller must pay my father $940,000. My, how pleased everyone was! I went out for a walk with my father. I cant’ begin to tell you how many times we were stopped on the street by our neighbors and friends. Each time they would be sure to say: “Well, Alf, it looks as though you were finally going to get even with Rockefel- ler. ’’ And then they would add: ‘‘And we're mighty glad of it!” FATHER PRETENDED TO BE HAPPY, CHEERFUL. OUNG as I was, I can remember Y well how father acted. He didn’t seem to be very happy. Not half so happy as I thought he ought to be. But that was because he knew better than his friends what was to come. He would always say: ‘‘T’m ahead now, but Rockefeller isn’t going to quit as easily as all that,’’ and then he would change the subject. Father was right. Rockefeller didn’t quit. Only a short time after we children supposed father had won. he had to go away again. And when he came home that time he had lost. Father, before us children, pretended to be happier and more cheerful. That’s just his way. When things went the worst for him he always tried the hard- est to make us happy at home. My mother was the one who really let us children know that new and great trouble had come to father again, and when she thought none of us was around I once overheard her say: “Poor Alfred! But don’t you Care; things will come out right some day.” Father just patted her on the head and said: ‘‘There, there, mother! I know it will.”’ It was grandfather who first predict- ed the wonderful future for Duluth and that part of the country. And my grand. mother knew, too, that it was her boys who had first found the iron that grand- father said was there to be found. I don’t think there was anyone in Duluth who took a greater interest in things those days than did ‘she. When she heard that Rockefeller had won the case against father, and that it looked as though he was going to take away from father and Uncle Lon for good and all what they had found, it told heavily on her. Father just couldn't my grandmother worry so. tell her all kinds of stories. grandmother knew better. TRIED TO FORGET ROCKEFELLER’S NAME. When father came back home after the second trial he made up his mind to never think of or mention the name Rockefeller again. Friends of the fam- ily, when they called, gradually would turn the conversation to Rockefeller. “Don't give up, Alf,” they would say. “You are in the right and some day you are bound to win.” But father would only smite tetas stand it to see He used to But my “Well, maybe you're right, but I’m through. The sooner I can forget the name Rockefeller the better I will like ga Then he would always change the subject. It was different with us children. Rockefeller and the ‘“‘case’’ were sub- jects we never lost a chance to talk about. To the other children we always men- tioned that one name in whispers. Usu- ally we talked about it without using the name at all. As we grew older, got into the higher grades at school and went to little parties, how humiliated we did feel to have people—some of whom we didn’t know by name—point us out and talk of those ‘‘Merritt children,’’ and talk in tones of pity and compassion. The older we grew, of course, more we understood and after all Rockefeller was a man’s name. We knew he had children of his own and I can clearly recall at one time serious- ly debating in my mind whether or not I ought not write him a letter myself and tell him just how father and mother seemed worried every time his name was mentioned. Two years ago I left Duluth and came East to study. There really were two reasons that made me do it. In the first place, my sister two years before did the same thing, and she likes it so in the East that I made up my mind to follow. her. But the great reason was to escape from that name Rockefeller. When my sister first came East that was the first thing she wrote home. ““At last,’’ she said, “I have found a place where I am not pointed out as a Merritt girl—the one, you know, whose father had that big lawsuit against Rockefeller.’’ And when I came East I found that what my sister said was really true. Have my father and my uncle the same feeling of fear of that name that I have? Possibly. TI do not think they are afraid of anything in the world that seems to them to be human, but there is something about that name Rockefeller that is different to any other name in the world. Often I have heard them say: “What's the use? There is no one can beat him. He isn’t human,” WHAT SHE FEELS ROCKEFELLER DID. Summing it all up as best I can, these are the things for which I feel Rockefeller is responsible, the things he brought upon us. The death of my Uncle Cassius. Years of sorrow and worry brought to my grandmother and to all my family. The taking away from my father and his brothers the financial reward to which they were entitled for all their efforts. The white hairs to the heads of both mother. The days and years of gloom, of trouble, of worry brought into the lives of children who had a right to happiness. Perhaps it doesn’t seem much to others—to me it always has seemed a bitter burden that we ought not to have had to bear. My story is ended and I am of it. ; Never before hate I the name Roc kefeller as many as I have here. And even now I am a liittle bit the brought,too soon my father ard giad dared to write times

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET RECORDS SMALL CHANGES ON THE WEEK’S TRADING NEW YCRK STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported Weekly for the Post-Dispatch by G.H. Walker & Co., 307 N. 4th.

Traders Are Badly Mixed Over the Political and Business Outlook. LONDON MARKET QUIET

Fear of Coal Strike Abroad Holds Outside Speculation in Check.

By Leased Wire From the New York Rureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—The Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted weekly financial review today, says: “What the Stock Exchange has been anxiously looking for this week was some news or event to stir mat- ters up and make the sluggish mar- ket move, even if it moved unpleas- antly. “On Wednesday there were visible eigns that the market was getting ready to be frightened, for it had read Mr. Roosevelt's exposition of up-to-date statesmanship, on the event of Washington's birthday, and was willing to be alarmed at the proposal to appeal constitutional lawsuits from the Supreme Court to a Supreme Court made up of all nat- uralized citizens over 21 years of age. “However, Washington, had _ he been present, might have accepted this birthday tribute, the stock mar- ket took it meekly, and on the next business day did nothing except to cover up Wednesday's’ short. sales when prices ceased to move. The Market Movement. "This might be regarded as sig- nificant—at least to the extent of showing that financial markets did not care—if the usual inference were drawn, that the mature and sober opinion of the community were voic- ing itself in the Stock Exchange fluctuations. “But even on that assumption, it might equally be argued that’ the financial community could not make up its mind, or that it preferred to wait until near the nomination day before growing either despondent or enthusiastic, It has had a way of acting on such lines even in such stirring presidential years at 1554 or 18946, ‘Tt may also be suggested, that this is the time of vear when financial mar- lets traditionally fall into apathy.

The Past and Future. “Within the past half dozen years the industrial community has had three distinct positions presented to it. First came that of 1906, when trade was at a pitch of feverish activity throughout the entire world, when every nation was’ clamoring for more capital than it could raise at home, and when, therefore, en- gagements were being made (for which the requisite funds could no- where be obtained. “Next came that of 1908, when capital was idle .thrqughout the world, because of worldwide stag- nation and liquidation in industry. “Now we have reached the stage when activity has returned in one part of the world, with large de- mands on capital, and when another part of the international community is perfectly able to spare the neces- sary funds. “This, in the light of all previous experience, is at least a wholesome situation, making in the long run for revival in all directions. These worldwide movements always shape their course deliberately, and that is, no doubt, the reason why Wall street, which is not satisfied unless everything comes within a week, or month, is convinced that things are worse than ever. “The price range for the week was very narrow, and with few excep- tions the leading shares closed prac- tically the same as a week ago. The copper issues were higher on im- proved trade reports and decreasing supplies of the metal.” LONDON REVIEW. Special Cable From the London Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, LONDON, Feb. 24.—Financial London fully believes that Roosevelt is anxious to get the presidency again this year. The impression his attempts at the nomi- nation make, is regulated by the fact that, while his political abilities are greatly admired in European financial circles, he is considered absolutely dan- gerous on the financial side. The reason for this feeling is that his habitual methods disregard both the del- icacy of credit machinery and the pres- ent dangerous position of the labor con- troversy. We can see no indication, in his speeches, that during his period of retirement he has in any degree mas- tered the problem of capital and labor, which today is laying the entire civi- lized world. The Economist today re- flects one view of the situation by pre- dicting a Democratic victory in Novem- ber.

The Outlook Gloomy. The immediate. outlook on this mar- ket is unquestionably glvuomy, and but for the improvement in international! politics, there might be some serious financial difficulties. In the city, bet- ting for or against the averting of a coal trade strike is today exactly even. It is simply expressing the consensus of opinion in financial quarters to say that settlement of the coal dispute, and early announcement of a real entente with Germany would mean a real boon on our markets—especially in’ view of the reasonably good money market out- look—and that such a boom could be quenched only by disquieting events in home politics. But, on the other hand, if a nation- wide coal strike does occur, and is prolonged, it would mean, in the words of Sir Edward Grey, one of the biggest national disasters that England has ever faced. It would involve paralysis in every other industry, and probably also, through the interference with transpor- tation, a great rise in foodstuffs. Riots in the coal districts would also be inev- itable. The city, while it hopes that the catastrophe will be averted, be- lieves that present conditions are a log- ical result of the present Government's social legislation. Gold Exports Likely. Whether Europe will resume its direct drafts on your gold depends mainly on your market’s readiness to part with it. The position is, that countries like France, Argentina and India require more gold, and that it simply goes from the center best able to spare it, to the market which must have it. No one believes the prevalent report that London is borrowing from you. If there have been any such operations, they were quite exceptional, and it is impossible to trace one. Germany, on the other hand, is keen- ly borrowing, and is bidding 4 and 44% per cent On this market for one and two months loans. Great stringency is expected at Ber- lin around the end of March, and in April, when large capital issues. are im- pending, if financial conditions improve Professional operators here are now watching the American market closely but are unable to act, because of abso- lute ignorance of the real policies fa- vored by your various presidentia] can- didates, and equally complete ignorance of the real feeling of the rank and file of voters in your country toward the — and constitutional problems of the ay. ‘ ——_@—~.-___..

FINANCIAL. -40 > s $5.85 @6.20. Sheep Scarce and Cheap. A good supply of sheep arrived the fore part of the week, but later re- ceipts were light because the storm hampered deliveries and shippers would not start sheep during such severe weather. Most of the arrivals were Western lambs and yearlings and the greater proportion of them came from the San Luis Valley, Colo. The market was draggy most of the week with prices 15@25c under the previous week. Offerings that were not fat were poor sellefS all week, as none of the buyers wanted them. Best lambs brought $6.25 @6.65, fair grades $5.50@6. 20, yearlings that were fat and not too heavy $5.15@ 5.40, fair yearlings $4.50@5, mutton sheep $4@4.30, stockers $2.25@3, and bucks $2.75 @3. Horses Brisk; Mules Irregular. The horse market shows little change whatever as compared with a week ago. The receipts were a lit- tle lighter this week, plenty of buy- ers were present at each day's auc- tion and a good, steady market pre- vailed all week on all classes but the common Southerners, which sold on weaker basis. The quality as aver- age for the week ranged very good. The receipt of mules the past weék were normal but buvers were nots»as plentiful as the week before. The common trashy kind were slow sell- ers all week and lower prices pre- vailed on that sort. The good kinds were scarce and but few difficulties were encountered in selling those offered at good, steady prices. The receipts of the common, trashy kind have been too heavy in proportion of the run. a» wr Banks Show Loess of 86,000,000 in Surplus Reserves. NEW YORK. Feb. 24.—The statement of clearing house banks for the week (five days) shows that the banks hold $29,873. re- serve in excess of legal requirements. This is a decrease of $6.051.600 in the ae. tionate eash reserve as compared with last week.

| —————_ === Who Can Doubt Sworn Testl- mony of Honest Citizens? Some time ago I began the use of your Swamp-Root with the most re- markable results. For years I was almost a wreck and was a great suf- ferer. The doctors who treated me made mé believe that my great suf- ferings were due to female ailments. I was so bad at times I would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was called in and he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I took several bottles. I obtained some re- lief -from this but I was getting weaker al] the time; I could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and out of bed. After this time two friends sent me word to try Swamp-Root, which I did, and I am glad to state that the first dose gave me great relief. After taking the third dose L was helped into bed. and slept half of the night. L took several bottles of Swamp- Root ‘and I feel that I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. ‘The two fam- ily doctors said that I could not live three months. After taking Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root for two days I was entirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly, MRS. D. E.

The New Era League was host at the St. Francis Hotel and the women of the city who proposed to register were invited guests, invitations having been sent to all feminine organizations that had showed interest in suffrage. From the hotel the guests were taken to the city hall in automobiles after they had indulged in tea and cake. Bureaus Give Information. At the hotel and also at the city hall special information bureaus were open to women and it was impressed upon them that they must correctly give their ages and occupations, which perhaps accounts for the smoothness of the act- ual registration. Mrs. Mackenzie Gordon was chairman of the Reception Committee that greet- ed the women at the city hall and she and her helpers were on duty from 8:30 a. m. until the books were closed in the $32.00 Oak $35.00 Oak Sideboards Sideboards for

They received small consolation from the news that Senator Kent has introduced a bill in Congress providing for citizenship for such wives. Woman Seeks Office. One of the deputies assigned to regis- ter women was Miss Vivian Ryan, aged 2i, and a Republican, who is the first woman appointed Deputy Registrar in San Francisco. Miss Ryan disclaims credit of being a pioneer in the suffrage cause. She was a stenographer and while she believes in women asserting their civic rights, she does not approve of active campaigning for them. Considerable interest was manifested by the new electors in the announcement made during the day that Miss Geneva Graham will contest for City Clerk at Whittier. Miss Graham is barely 21 and will be the youngest candidate seeking office under the constitutional amend- ment. The is holding the office she seeks through appointment, which gives her a great advantace. Girls 18, But Can’t Vote. The most frequent mistake was that of girls past 18 years old and under 21 who expected to be able to register be- cause their age gives them other legal privileges, One of the notable registrations was that of Mrs. Donna Maria Coleman, who was the first woman to hold office in California. Mrs. Coleman was Su- perintendent of Schools in Shasta County from 1876 to 1886, went through five campaigns and is probably as ardent a sufragist as can be found in California. She is 31 years old and came to Califor- nia in 1852 from her native New York. William Vandevoort and wife, neither of whom has been old enough to vote for very long, were accompanied by tiny Miss Dorothy Vandevoort, who has at- tained only two months of the age nec- essary to her majority. While her mother held up her right hand and took the oath, told all the necessary details and signed her regis- tration, the young father, who is a mem- ber of the city fire department, held the baby, transferring her to his wife's care while he followed with his own registra- tion. One group of well-known clubwomen entered, Theirs is a literary club rather than a civic or political, however, and there has not been much Instruction along political lines. Gazing around the big room, lined with busy registrars at work, one of the women gasped: “Where in the world do we start?’ Occupation: “None.” (ne wotnan, occupa- tion, said meditatively that sie thought sh. was a slave. Another asked if she might register as valet for her husband and son. “Can I say I'm a housewife when I live in an apartment?’’ queried one con- scientious little woman. Many of the citizens had to confess that ‘‘None”’ was the only answer they could give as to the matter of pecupation. Among those Who registered were more than haif of the members of Brit- annia Lodge, Onder of the Daughters of St. George, although they were at first opposed to the idea of suffrage. asked as to her

Barnes Hospital, which will be one depart- ment of the medical school, has already been let, the cost, without furnishings or equipment, being estimated at $808,000. Plans for the other build- ings, to cost approximately $800,000, are nearing completion. With an endowment of $5,500,000, it is expected that the Washingten University Medical School will take a front rank among the country’s institutions for the conquest of disease. As buildings and apparatus are but half of a college, Washington University has already be- gun assembling a list of foremost scientists as instructors. Among these are Dr. George Dock, dean of the medical school; Dr. John Howland, . who holds the chair of pediatrics; Dr. Eugene L. Opie, formerly of the Rockefeller Institute, who occupies the chair of pathology; and Dr. Joseph Erlanger, formerly of Wisconsin University, who is professor of physiology. The hospital, the plans for which were drawn by Theodore C. Link & Son, will consist of six buildings, three stories high, with exteriors of cream-colored brick decorated with granite and Bedford stone. 7 Subways will connect the hospital buildings with those of the medical school, which will in- clude two great science laboratories, a building for pathology and another for anatomy. In the interest of the quiet necessary to the sick, each ward will be practically an isolated hospital.

to introduce him to “Madame Society,” that she may give serious thought to his appeal. I have always felt, since I have been closely in touch with the prison world, that there was only one standpoifit.from which this great problem could be thoroughly understood, and that is the standpoint of the cell. That there is no criminal class has been clearly demonstrated to everyone who is in close touch with the world within the prison walls This great family within the shadows is made up of units drawn from every circle of society, from every kind of home, leaving behind them broken hearts, shadowed hearths and loyed ones often forced to become the victims of destitution. If the shadow had fallen in our own home, if the trusted husband, a dearly beloved son, a revered father or an idolized brother had been snatched from us and was today marching in that long, sad, gray line, how intensely would this whole subject appeal to our sympathy and interest, how vitally it would stand out among the problems of today!

son comforted her with the statement that ne Drew fF doubt many of his own forebears had rich); merited hanging. “1776” is thoroughly of their opinion. “All men are possible criminals; all criminai- are possible men,” is;perhaps the keynote of his book. “No man attains the age of middle life,”’ he says in another place, “without being in a po- sition to look back and say: ‘If circumstances had not been a little different at such and such a time, I would have been a criminal in the eyes of the law.’” These opinions bring him foul of the phrases, “eriminal classes,” “stigmata of degeneracy” and “congenital criminals.” His argument is that criminals are not born, but made by society, which punishes them with imprisonment and then harshly prevents their reformation. In his “salutation,” the author begins with that air of ironical respect which he maintains throughout the book: “My Dear Madam Society: “You have placed me in the company of thou- sands whom you consider your enemies,’ and whom you discuss and preach to as the ‘criminal Classes.’ Concerning us you have read much. written by those who called us your foes: but | do not believe you have ever heard from one of us who wrote for the truth’s sake and not for the purpose of self-justification or of ingratiat- ing himself again into your company. “Bome of us have written about the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the rules we are com- pelled to obey, and the hours we go to bed ana rise; but, so far as I know, none of us has ever told you the effect of your penal system on ts,

The meals have been fairly good of late, but this morning the breakfast is not fit for a human stomach. The bread is sour and the mush is not sufficiently cooked. He eats sparingly, but does not join in the murmurings he hears about

EPIGRAMS OF “CONVICT 1776” LL men are possible criminals; all criminalg possible men. A Some persons offend your law; of these offenders a few are caught; of these a few are punished; we are your punished class. Few men there are, even in a penitentiary, in whom good traits do not predominate. Circumstances may send a man to prison or to the United States Senate, and even in tue Senate he may be an honorable man. No man attains the age vi middle life without being in a position to look back and say: “If circumstances had not been a little different at euch and such « time, I would have been 4 criminal in the eyes of the law.” You welcome the pauper who struggles out of his poverty, but when the criminal at- tempts to quit crime you put every obstacle in his way. Many a man is serving a portion of hig sentence to a penitentiary because the judge had committed an offense against his own stomach. To injure one member of a community because he has injured another ig obviously to increase society’s own injury, since society is the sum of all individuals fn fits domain. Every individual under prison discipline provides an example of arrested development. Prison discipline means nothing but a system of keeping men behind barg with the least possible inconvenience to officials.

Then you say he was incorrigible. “Imagine, Madam, if you can, a nurse going through a hospital with a demijohn filled wita @ decoction of milkweed, and, pursuant to the direction of a physician, compelling every pa- tient to taxe a drink without a glass or a spoon, and without even wiping the mouth of the demi- john between drinks. _ “The man with the broken leg, the consumptive, make the corrigible.

There- upon the physician pronounces him to have been au incorrigible acqpirer of human maladies.”

As one of the occurrences ‘i prisor “1776” says he has personal knowledge relates this: “One day John was marching in lockstep into the cellhouse, when he espled a full-blown rose on a bush near the door. Just as he entered he said to the man in front of him: ‘Gee, that’s a purty rose!’ Immediately inside the door and to one side stood a guard, who had stationed him- self there out of sight to discover prisoners in the act of taliing.

Daughter of a Confeder- ate soldier, herself thor- oughly in love with the South and in complete sympathy with its tra- heroic aspects of its history, may ' valled pre-eminently the sculptress of the Bewiederacy. One of the works upon which she is enzaged, and the latest to be assigned to her skillful hand, is a bronze statue of Gen. Joseph E.

Both these commissions came as surprises to Miss Kin- ney, who entered the contests at the eleventh beur, with little expectation of winning. The young sculptress was in the South seeking medels for her group when she learned that sculptors were submitting sketches in competi- tion for the Johnston figure. She hastened to Dalton and studied the situation. - Only two days remained before the award was to be made. In those two days she executed 8 etches which won the unanimous approval of the commitiee in charge. Many noted sculptors #¥e\e disappointed, and some of them considerably chagrined, to find that a slip of a Southern girl had carried off at the last moment the prize for Which they had striven.

Johnston, a brother of the lamented Albert Sidney Joh:ston, who fell at Shiloh early in 1862, wes a Virginian by birth, but his most important Ove ations during the war were in Northern Georgia. After Grant defeated Bragg at Chat- lauooga late in 1863, Johnston was put in com- mand of all the Confederate forces in the South- wet, ith 55.000 men he fortified Dalton, Ga., from Which stronghold he was driven by Sherman's Superior force in May, 1864.

With his little army of pleted ranks he was able to draw Sherman con- stantly away from his reinforcements, by retreat- ing, until the Union soldier hardly knew what ground he was fighting on. If Jefferson Davis had not removed him from command just when he did, it is probable that the outcome of Gen. Sherman’s march through have been far different. “In modeling a statue. a Georgia would these are the things the sculptor must bear in mind. He nyust get in spirit with his subject, with the history of the subject, so that every line of the statue will re- flect its meaning. “At present I am keeping my mind at a_per- fect blank until I Shall have received all the pho- tographs of Gen.

For many years the old soldiers of the “lost cause” had de- sired to show ip some tangible and permanent form their appreciation of the devoted women who gave them such aid and succor fighting for their cause.

GILBERT AM’S SE L LE, x Little Miss Alice Livingston Brown raised herself wear- ily in her silken bed. A girl of 18, pretty as a rosebud, rich, possessed of position which had come to her through many generations, she knew she must obey that call of her maid. “Oh, if L could only sleep another hour!” she murmured. But she knew she couldn't. No, it was another week beginning—it was Monday morning and the top of the season. When she looked at the cards stuck in the mirror of her bureau she realized that it was time to begin the day's engagements, and they were many. Now, little Miss Brown is only a mythical per- sonage, but there are many girls just like her in society in great cities like New York, St. Louis and Chicago. She is just “out” and her invita- tions are innumerable. And she must accept them all or forever abandon her idea of being a reign- ing belle for that brief period which girls of her kind have until they become matrons themselves, and even then the pace is about as hard. “What's for today, automatically day’s round. Annette?” Starts to she asks, as she prepare herself for the The first on the program proves to be a “musi- cal morning” at the Waldorf, the Wednesday Club cr the Blackstone.

She relaxes, that's all, and tells things she wouldn’t tell to her social equals. “Oh, Annette, I'm so tired,’ says Miss Brown. h, if I could only rest a while.” “It’s all right, mam'selle,” said’ Annette, cheer- ingly. “Remember, Lent will soon be here and then you can play golf and ride your horse in the park.” * ‘How I'd love to do it now!” from Miss Brown. The dinner ended, Miss Brown makes her de- voirs, because she has promised to go the opera, time to arrive in with her and the limousine the rushes the mother to off in music. “I've got to leave before it is over,” Miss Brown to her mother in the box her middle of whispers Other guests make the same excuses—they are going on to the dance of the season.

Sixty sit down in the banquet hall and partake of an exquisite dinner.

A those worn by the Princess to receptions, is made of blue changeable silk. It is trimmed with two varieties of lace: Black, set with white-embroid- ered dot and white malinette. Blush roses, buds and leaves are gracefully bunched through the lece. The feature to be noted is that the trim- ming stands up very high and sheaf like. You are certain to notice this tendency in the new hats for spring wear, whether the trimming be of tall loops of ribbon, long-stemmed artificial flowers or wired lace bows.
