Between that date and April ii his party stored 3000 kilos (about aon pounds) of provisions in depots forfned at 80 degrees, 81 degrees and 82 ip eearecs. Owing to the absence of land- » marks, the depots were marked by zs, placed seven kilometers (four and one-third miles) to the east and west. Mercury at 40 Degrees. The weight of the sledges was 300 kilos each, with six dogs to each. On Feb. 15 the party covered 100 kilometers of ground, the state of the barrier af- ording excellent traveling. The lowest temperature, during the laying of the depots was 40 Fahrenheit on March 4. Before the winter arrived 60.000 kilos of seal meat had been stored in depots, this being sufficient for the party and 110 dogs, which were housed in eight large kennels. ‘The sun disappeared April 22. The iter following winter months were spent in changing the equipment. Barly in September the temperature rose rapidly, and on the 8th the party, consisting of eight men, on seven _ gsledges, with ninety dogs, and carry- - 4ng provisions for four months, started. _ No sooner had they started than there ' was a sudden cold spell, the thermom- eter showing well below minus ®.

The time * was spent mostly in the hut. Only a ka dogs were lost and the feet of some of the men were frozen. With the gpring temperature of between 4% and 90 degrees Celsius, seals and birds were geen again. R A change of plan was now made. It ~ wae decided five men, and not all, ' should go south and the other three _, go east to King Edward Land, as the ish had not been able to get there * the previous summer. On Oct, 2 the party for the polar dash, consisting of five men set out for the south. The _men took four sledges and 62 dogs, with ample supplies for four months. They _ planned to travel twenty to thirty kilo- per day. As they Avoids Word ONE MAN DOESN'T MAKE MULTITUDE, TAFT’S REMINDER President Tells Chicago Students Momentary Impulse Does Not Bring Reforms. CHICAGO, March 9.—‘‘Great reforms are achieved by thoughtful considera- tion and not by momentary impulses,”’ declared President Taft in an address to students at the Armour Institute of Technology. “Be a bit schemes to reform the world.”’ President Taft's appearance before the Students, to whom he was introduced as “The chief progressive of the na- tion,’’ was the first public event of his two days’ visit to Chicago. “I would not discourage you in your efforts toward progress; all I ask is that you apply the test of human na- ture, he said. “Progress always is being made wherever education spreads. Be optimistic, boys. Because you get jolts, don’t think the whole world is against you. One man doesn’t make a multitude any more than one swallow makes a summer. “The only thing the country can do is to make more perfect the equality opportunity. The opportunity which comes to Americans today is greater than that which comes to any other people in the world. The Swedish-American Republican League of Illinois at its session in the Auditorium Hotel today was prepared, according to leaders in the league, to indorse President Taft, who is to be its guest at the John Ericsson banquet tonight. “HOUN’ DAWG” SONG IS FOUND IN GERMAN SCRAPBOOK DATED 1499 Ditty Credited to the Ozarks Was Known as “The Lay of the Dog.”’ NEW YORK, March 9.—The Houn’ Dawg song which Missouri minstrels have nominated for chief Democratic honors as a campaign hymn, was not born on the Ozark Mountains, as the followers of Champ Clark have asserted. According to musicians here, it is an old German cradle song, written prior to 1499. Here are the words in the origi- nal German; , die “Jedes mal ich ins Dorfchen komm Stossen die Jungens mein Hund herum, Mir ists egal was sonst sie thun— Sie darfen night stossen mein Hund herum.”’ The literal translation is as follows: “Every time I come into the little vil- lage, The boys knock my dog around. It’s all the same to me what else they do— In a German scrapbook of the fifteenth century the song is entitled “The Lay of the Dog,’’ and contains severa) stan- zas, the lines sung in the Ozarks being only the refrain. Beneath the last stanza in the scrapbook are the initials “M. L.— 1499.°° DARROW TRIAL MAY 14 Date Set for Case of Lawyer Ac- cused of ,Bribery. LOS ANGELES, March 9.—Clarence S.

While no deaths have resulted yet many of the attacks are unusually severe. Physicians have not yet been able to discover the source of the epi- demic.

ONE LINE TO HIS MOTHER Miss Leila Mayham Is Called “The Only One’—Personal Comment on Others. A handsomely bound diary of his dif- ferent courtships was found by the police among the effects of Samuel Arnell Cheatham, under arrest for mur- der in the first degree for killing George Wurzburger in the office of the Cow- per:thwait Loan Co., 719 Pine street, the evening of Jan. 31. The book is bound in white cloth, with gold stampings and on the cover is the title, ‘‘Girls I Have Met.’’ On the first page is a subtitle, “The Twenty-five Most Remarkable Girls I Have Met,” under which are listed the prettiest, homeliest, most sincere, greatest flirt, most religious, wickedest, most . ath- letic, greatest bluestocking, most senti- mental, most practical, greatest chat- terbox, wittiest, dullest, -best. dressed, most dowdy, tallest, shortest, best dancer, most graceful, most fascinating, most accomplished, most susceptible and the worst “golf fiend.’’ Starts Off With Poem. Inside the cover is written “S. A. Cheatham, U. 8S. N.,” and on the fily- ieaf is printed the following verse: ‘“‘They’re so bewildering, tho, sweet— The many girls I chance to meet— I can’t remember them, I fear, And so I make a record here. Some, gay; some, chic; se some sedate! The blank lines under the subheads are filled in ‘with the names of young women Cheatham met while at school, in the nayy, in St. Louis and in the South and Eas: after he had killed’ Wurzburger and was being trailed by detectives. Following the finding of the diary, De- tective Chief Allender told a Post-Dis- patch reporter that, in his opinion, Cheatham has an abnormal mind and a fanciful imagination. Chief Allender characterized Cheat- ham as the most monumental liar he ever met. ‘“‘He has Munchausen out- classed,”” said Allender. ‘“‘He lies and keeps on lying until he believes him- self. Voesn’t BeHeve Diary. I do not believe.a word that is in his diary. He says he is 22 years old and his relatives say he is only 19. Yet in his diary he tells of love affairs in 1896, when he could not have been more than 6 years old. ‘‘When he had no money he bargained for a $10,000 lot in Calvary Cemetery. He told a story about buying 10,000 cases of eggs and bargaining for the entire waterwork and lighting system of Bain- bridge, Ga. I never saw a liar Hike Cheatham.”’ Cheatham’s sweetheart, Miss Lella Mayham of 4210 Washington boulevard, in whose favor he made a will a few days before killing Wurzburger, is re- ferred to in the diary as ‘“‘Brownie,” and is classified merely as ‘‘the most ath- letic girl.’’ At the end of the list, how- ever, Cheatham wrote, “The only one— Leila.’”’ Under this he wrote, “The real one—my mother, God bless her.’’ How Girls Were Classified. Some of the spaces in the list of 2 most remarkable girls are filled in as follows: Prettiest, Emma Morris; most sincere, ‘‘Patsy;"’ best dancer, Margaret Wrigley; most graceful, Grace Langan; most fascinating, Margaret Wrigley; most accomplished, Evelyn Wood: and most practical, Sally Butler. An added line by Cheatham says, ‘‘The best al)- round good fellow, Aunty Emma.” Further on in the book are blank spaces in which Cheatham wrote where ke met each of the young women, how she appealed to him and other details. A book in which was an alphabetical list cf all the St. Louisans Cheatham knows also was found in his effects. Cheatham spent his second night in the holdover under a heavy guard. ai- though he sti maintains his conceit, amounting almost to arrogance, hig ex. treme nervousness is shown by the fact that he has bitten his finger nails down to the flesh. Chief of Detectives Allen. der said he intended to give the pris- oner no chance to do himself violence. Cheathamys memorandum on Miss Mayham is that he met her March 17, 1910, through Rose Ghio. Then follows this entry: “Outdoor girl; tomboy; my girl; we are engaged.” In his detailed account of his various courtships and acquaintances with wom- en, Cheatham makes out his list under the four divisions of “Name,” “Date,” “Place” and “Remarks.’’ This part of the diary reads as follows: Frieda Willis; Thanksgiving 192; Kx A. fraternity dance, Swanee; a good talker, prone to bore one if allowed to ao 80.

HELD UNSECURED PAPERS Effort to Show That Fraud Order Injured Publishing Company’s Business Fails. Mrs. E. G. Lewis appeared, Satur- day, for the first time, at the trial of her husband, in the United States Court, on a charge of using the mails to defraud. She sat just inside the enclosure reserved for the jury, counsel and witnesses and watched the proceed- ings with apparent deep interest. Mrs. Lewis had been in the court- room only a short time when her name was mentioned for the first time at the trial. ae Judge Shepard Barclay was cross- examining A. E. Radert, expert ac- countant of the Department of Justice. “Is it not true that Mrs. Mabel Lewis, wife of E. G. Lewis, had $4500 of her savings invested in the unsecured notes of the Lewis Publishing Co.?” he asked. Had Unsecured Notes. “The records show that she had that amount invested in the series A un- secured notes,’’ Radert replied. Barclay again was unsuccessful in an attempt to introduce evidence to show that the fraud order issued against Lewis and the Lewis Publishing Co. in 190 injured the company’s business. After he had started questioning Radert as to how and why fraud or- ders were dAssued, Barclay was checked by Judge Amidon, who gaid: “I do not propose to try the valid- ity of the fraud order in this case.” E. G. Lewis read to the jury resolu- tions showing that, at the request of the board of directors of the Lewis Pub- lishing Co., in 1905, a committee of St. Louis business men examined the subscription lists of the Woman’s Magazine and the Farm Journal. $90,000 Was Paid Off. A schedule showing that the com- pany paid off $90,000 of its first mortgage notes in July, 1908, also was introduced in evidence. Barclay asked if this improved the credit of the company. Radert replied there was nothing in the records to show it did. Expert Accountant Radert was still on the witness stand at 12:30 p. m., when Judge Amidon announced an adjourn- ment until 10 a. m. Monday. At the Friday afternoon hearing Radert testified that the expenses of the Lewis Publishing Co. from Jan. 1, 1908, to Dec. 31, 1910, were $1,195,- 597.19 in excess of the income. United States District Attorney Houts read to the jury extracts from Lewis’ advertisements during this period which stated that the Lewis Publishing Co. was the greatest and most profitable concern of its kind in existence. During this period the Lewis Publishing Co. sold to the public $1,216,223.16 worth of its 10-months 7-per-cent notes, of which $600,000 was secured by a first mortgage jon the publishing plants, buildings and sites. Average Monthly Losses. Radert testified that the average monthly losses of the publishing com- pany during the three years was $33,- 211.08. He testified that the expenses of the Woman’s National Daily, such as pay roll, paper bills, postage, etc., were carried on the books of the Lewis Pub- lishing Co. as an asset and not as a lia- bility. The only period for which the Lewis Publishing Co. ever showed a net income over expenses was from June 1, 1903, until June 30, 1904, according to Radert. The net income that year was $18,995.66. From that time until the lost money steadily, according to the showing of the Government's expert. The losses of the publishing company assumed large proportions with the starting of the Woman's National Daily, according to Radert. The Government's expert also showed that there was car- ried on the books of the publishing com- pany aS an asset each year a considera- ble sum charged against E. G. Lewis and F. J. Cabot for advertising, but that by resolution of the Board of Directors Lewis and Cabot were absolved from payment of these charges. Charges Taken off Books. The charge against Lewis and Cabot in 1906 amounted to $44,232.32, it was said. The resolution stated that the ad- vertisements of the Hygienic Remedy Co., the Mrs. Huntley Remedy Co. and the Ozark Remedy Co. were for the -| benefit of Lewis and Cabot, and had been used as fillers in unsold space. As the families of Lewis and Cabot had rendered considerable editorial service to the publications, it was moved by Lewis that the charges against them be taken off the books. Radert said. he eliminated the account from the assets of the company because no money had been taken in on account of it. District Attorney Houts read into the recone cenerpts from concern was thrown into bankruptcy it], IUOFEE BRIDE UES HUSBAND 10 SET ASIDE DEEDS Mrs. Nellie Philpot Stevenson in | Suit at Belleville Tells How Chauffeur Got Money. SHE HAD $9000 IN BANK Thomas L. Fekete and A. W. Berkley o’ East St. Louis Named in Pleading. Mrs. Nellie Philpot Stevenson, who gave Justice Bell of East St. Louis a $100 fee for marrying her to Ray Stev- enson, a chauffeur, and afterward twice caused Stevensgn’s arrest, in Hot Springs and St. Louis, on the charge of defrauding her of $8500, filed suit in the Circuit Court at Belleville Saturday to have certain deeds set aside and to have her husband and others enjoined \from selling or incumbering the prop- erty represented by the deeds. She alleges that Stevenson bought property with her money. Mrs. Oma Stevenson, mother of Ray Stevenson; Thomas L, Fekete and #4. W. Berkley, alleged to have had a part in the trans- actions, are named as co-defendants. She Had $9000 in Bank. In her petition Mrs. Stevenson says that Feb, 8 she had $9000 deposited with the Mercantile Trust Co. in St. Louis. On that date, while paying Stevenson some money, she says, he learned that she had the deposit and began to pay her personal attentions and show inter- est in her welfare. He told her, she says, after gaining her confidence, that a woman had a claim against him and was about to file suit against him and that if this was done it would result in Mrs. Stevenson’s $9000 being tied up. He told her, she says, that she would have to take the money out of the bank or lose it. Stevenson urged her to marry him, she says, telling her that he loved her and would protect her and take care of her money. Consulted With Justice. Immediately after the marriage, she says, her husband got her drunk and urged her to turn over her money to him, saying he would put it in a safety deposit box and keep the key. She says she expressed a wish to consult an attorney and Stevenson advised her to consult with Justice Bell, who had married them. She did so, and Bell, she says, advised her to put her money in another bank, under another name, or in.a safe deposit box. The next day Mrs, Stevenson drew $8500 from the Mercantile Trust Co. She wanted to deposit it with the Missi pi Valley ‘Trust Co., but Sunbelt suggested placing it in an Egest St. Louis bank. They took it to} East St. Louis, but Stevenson told her that he found that there were no safe deposit boxes in Bast St. Louis and they returned to St. Louis. Mrs. Stevenson says her husband has since failed to deposit the money. Tells How Money Was Used. Stevenson, it is alleged, bought two pieces of property in East St. Louis paying $2000 for one and $3000 for the other. Title to the $2000 property was placed in the name of his mother, Mrs. Oma Stevenson. Mrs. Stevenson alleges that he paid off a mortgage of $1400 and then made a new one to Thomas L. Fekete for $1000. These transaction, she alleges were to cloud the title. The $3000 property was leased to A. W. Berk- iey. She also alleges that Stevenson paid a mortgage of $400 on an auto- mobile. Mrs. Stevenson asks for an accounting, for a lien on the property, for the cancellation of the mortgage and lease and an injunction to prevent gale or encumbrance of the property. Judge Crow issued a temporary injunction. The case will be tried at the April term of court.

IMANY RICH City’s Millionaires Wo MRS

Excess of Every Income Over $5000 a Year to Pay Levy of One Per: Cent—Total Net Income of 100 St. Louisans Estimated at $12,- 500,000. | lionaires, whose aggregate O wealth is estimated at $250,- 000,000 are vitally interested in the income tax bill pending in the Na- tional House of Representatives with the support of the Democratic majority. If this bill is enacted into a law, these 100 St. Lowuisans will pay annually into the treasury of the United States, $125,000 on a total net income of $12,500,000. Interviews obtained by the Post-Dis- patch show that a majority of wealthy St. Louisans are inclined to favor an in- come tax law. The bill provides that all persons whose incomes exceed $5000 a year shall pay 1 per cent of the extess into the national - treasury. A previous income tax bill was. enact- ed into law, but was declared uncon- stitutional by the United States Supreme Court.

NE HUNDRED St. Louis mil-' For an Amendment. A constitutional amendment is await- ing adoption by the requisite numbe: of states to get an income tax provision into the organic law of the land. ‘The proposed Democratic measure, its friends assert, will stand all the tests. of the courts. No constitutional amendment would be necessary if a statutory enactment by Congress were upheld by the United States Supreme Court. AMES CAMPBELL, banker, railroaa J director and director in 20 other cor- porations, for instance, would pay the largest sum into the national treas- ury from St. Louis, because it is zen- erally agreed that he is the richest man in St. Louis. His holdings are estin:iated at $30,000,000. Fixing his income on a basis of 5 per cent a year on his invest- ments, it is $1,500,000 a year. Thus he would pay an income tax of approxi- mately $15,000 a year. $12,500 Yearly for Busch. Adolphus Busch, brewer and banker, who is said to be worth $25,000,000 on the same basis would pay $12,500 a year. R. C. Kerens, Ambassador to’ Austria, whose estimated worth is $20,000,000 would pay $10,000 a year at the same rate. John Scullin, whose rating is $15,000,000, thus would be taxed $7,500 a year; «R. S. Brookings, worth $10,000,000, . would be taxed $5000 a year and John I. Beggs, worth $8,000,000, would pay $4000. Capt. Robert McCulloch, president of the United Railways Co., would be taxed on the basis of his salary of $25,000 a year, to give a concrete ex- ample of how the law works. With an exemption for the first $000 he would

a ae. CHAPMAN RA. have to pay 1 per cent of the rest or $200 a year. ERE are some expressions of opin- H ion from well-known and wealthy St. Louisans on the proposed in- come tax law. John D. Filley, secretary St. Louis Union Trust Co.: I have not given the matter much thought, but I be- lieve I am in favor of such an income tax as the Democrats propose. A moderate income tax will not work a hardship on any individual and it will yield millions in revenue. Any man who has an income of over $5000 a year certainly ought not to complain of a 1 per cent tax on it. There is sure to be a remarkable and rapid shrink- age in incomes among the plutocrats if the proposed bill becomes a law. J. A. Lewis, cashier National Bank of Commerce: I like the idea of an income tax. It will put the burden on those who can best afford it. One per cent is not a heavy tax and any man whose income is 85000 or more will not be bankrupted by a 1 per cent tax, while such a source of reve. aue will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Government. I think I am in favor of it. E. F. Goltra, steel manufacturer and Democratic National Committeeman for Missouri: So far as I am personally concerned, I have no objection to an income tax. The thing that concerns me is that we shall have a tariff for revenue only capable of producing such revenue as will defray the expenses of government, honestly and economically administered. If the Republicans have increased the expense of administration to such an extent that it has become necessary to pass the hat, I don’t know any better way than an income tax. So the Democrats in Congress have indorsed the income tax. Well, I indorse the Democrats. I have not given any thought to the percentage question. Henry Nicolaus, president St. Louis Brewing Association: I have always been in favor of an income tax law. I think it just, if it 1s carefully drawn and carefully carried out. I think, how- ever, that the proposed percentage of 1 per cent on all incomes above $5000 a year is a little too much. We have to take care of our State and city taxes, you know. The tax should be grad- uated, the percentage increasing as the income increases. Such a law will prob-

and most illustrious Democrat of this Republic, the founder and father of the Democratic party. “Taken all in all, in my opinion Jeffer- son was the greatest American our country has produced and his teachings will continue to be loved and followed by those who desire to perpetuate Amer- ican free government by the people.” Representative Henry D.

Mr. Pulitzer, from the day of his entrance into the field of journalism, stood for Jeffersonian principles in the purest and truest meaning of that broad term. His great newspapers, fearléss and independent, have carried the mes- sage of Thomas Jefferson into’ the hearths and homes of this country. He made the World a newspaper which is his monument, and now, in turn, the World has taken up the propaganda of erecting to the memory of the,father of Democracy the sort of memorial which fhe greatness of the character of Jeffer- son merits. I wish the World godspeed in its noble work.”

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTA, Ga., March 9.—The mys- tery surrounding the shooting of Eugene Grace in his North Side home, of wnich Mrs. Grace is accused by him, took a new turn this morning when Recorder Broyles received a letter from Mattie Gibbs, a negress, declaring her husband shot Grace and told her of it. This theory is given strength by the statement of lawyers for the defense that they can produce a witness who passed the Grace home at 2 o'clock, after Mrs. Grace had left it, and heard a pistol shot and saw a negro leave the premises. Detectives are looking for Gibbs, but they put little faith in the report. Grace Much Improved. Mrs. Grace spent another night in the! county jail, living on ordinary prison fare and making no complaint. Grace is much better today and may recover. Physicians have not yet tried to extri- cate the bullet which has paralyzed him below the hips. The wounded man declared today that a short time ago, his wife, after emerg- ing from a slumber which had been troubled by unpleasant dreams, ex- claimed to him: “I might kill you at any time, Gene.” Grace, it is said, told his attorney all about the nightmares he said his wife had been having for three weeks prior to the shooting. The attorney said Grace told .him that when Mrs, Grace talked aloud in her dreams, her form- er husband, W. H. Obie, who died in Philadelphia, was the central figure and that he appeared to be menacing her. Dreams Real or Feigned? Were these dreams real or feigned, is the question that is puzzling detectives and others trying to clear the shooting mystery. Mrs. Grace, who is in jail, still main- tains her innocence. It is reported that attorneys soon will make an effort to have the Court agree to allow.her to give bail if the condition of her husband shows improvement or grows no worse. Attorney R. H. Arnold, who has been retained by the Grace family today, charged that Mrs. Grace shot her hus- band after carefully making all prepa- rations to prove an alibi. ‘Mrs. Grace drugged her husband and then ‘shot him,” declared Arnold. He also said Mrs. Grace was _in straitened circumstances, having spent most of the large fortune she received at the death of her former husband. ° Mrs. Grace issued a statement today in which she clings to the belief that Grace was shot by a burglar.-She said: “IT believe he was snot by a robber. While I have tried to be brave, I fear I will break down.any minute, out I had rather stay right here in this room than any other place, until my name is cleared. I am not anxious to be freed on bail.”’ Mrs. Grace is a fascinating woman and she has made many friends since she came South. | She has a pleasant face, her features being made even more agreeable by large blue eyes. In conversation she keeps her head well poised and her eyes riveted on the face of the person with whom she is conversing. Her general manner stamps her as a woman well bred and one who has mingled much in society. The wounded husband is a stalwart, handsome fellow, six feet tall and weighing fully 200 pounds. It is one of his characteristics to be always fault- lessly and stylishly attired and in this respect he was an admirable companion of his wife.

Both Grace and Mrs. Grace are strik- ing figures and both have been familiar figures in the fashion parades. They have been particularly noticeable in the theaters, where both attended frequent- ly and on which occasions Mrs, Grace was always gowned in the height of style, her general attire handsomely set off by her leopard skin furs. The beauty of these furs have attracted much at- tention. It is her penchant for beautiful and costly leopard skins that caused her friends in Philadelphia to term het “Daisy of the Leopard Skins.” That she is fastidious as to dress has been demonstrated since her arrest. Wearing her striking velvet costume to the police station, Mrs. Grace sent out for a complete change of attire. When she emerged from her room in the ma- tron’s ward she looked even more styl- ish than the night before in an attrac- tive dark suit. She wore the same big picture hat and heavy blue veil, which she kept over her face in an effort to foil the camera men.

Y., March 9.—Pres- ident Taft’s speech at Toledo yesterday probably will draw an extended reply from Col. Roosevelt. After reading the speech today the Colonel remarked that anything he might have to say would be said later on, after he had time to consider the subject. Roosevelt said that just now he was concerned chiefly with primaries. His political opponents he said were ‘“‘fight- ing tooth and nail’ in Michigan and Illinois against presidential primaries. Cites Case of Oklahoma, The. situation in Oklahoma, he said, illustrated the difficulty which confronted them. Although the con- vention in the Fourth Congressional District instructed its delegates to the national convention for Taft, he said, the people of the State voted 2 to 1 for Roosevelt in the primaries for the State convention, “I think,” Col. Roosevelt continued, “that if we had presidential primar- ies we would get three out of four.” Col. Roosevelt was greatly amused at a statement that Andrew Carnegie had advanced $20,000 for the Roose- velt African expedition. He walked over to one of the high book shelves which line the wall of his library and drew forth his book, “African Game Trails,’’ “Ah, ha!’’ he said. “They have dis- covered the secret document.” Points Acknowledgment in Book. Turning to the appendix he placed his finger upon a paragraph in which he expressed his thanks to Andrew Carne- gie for giving ‘‘generous assistance’’ to the African expedition. “At last they’ve got me,” laughing. Col. Roosevelt said he expected no vis- itors today. The only thing on his pro- gram, he added, was a long horseback ride. he said,

ND PREFERENCE T AMERICAN SHIPS Measure Agreed on in House Gives President Right to Fix the Tolls. WASHINGTON, March 9.—The bill for the government of the Panama Canal Zone and the operation of the canal was agreed to today by the House Commit- tee on Interstate Commerce. It would give to the President author- ity to fix tolls within certain limitations, a maximum of $1.2 a ton being pre- scribed, with a minimum not below an amount sufficient to maintain and op- erate the canal. 7 No preference would be given American ships. Ships owned or controlled by railroads and operated with the intent to restrain trade, or engaged in any agreement or “ship ring’ or combine, under the terms of the bill would be prohibited from passing through the canal. The bill was adopted by the Commit- tee by a vote of 14 to 4. It ratifies and legalizes all the work done there by executive authority since the taking over of the Zone and defines and legalizes the courts there until changed by subse- quent legislation. The bill provides that the Government procure title to lands not yet acquired. Dismissal of the Panama Commission when the canal approaches completion is sanctioned, and the President is author- ized to appoint a governor of the Pan- ama Canal and canal zone at $10,000 a year, to serve terms of four years. Authority is given the President to name all other persons necessary to the main- tenance and operation of the canal and to provide for its sanitation. There will be a minority report on the bill. Representatives Knowland, Cali- fornia; Broussard, Louisiana; Calder, New York, and Doremus, Michigan, dis- sent from the toli charges. Mr. Connie O’Brien is now with T. J.

Copyright, 1912, by Press pablshing Co. (New York World.) PARIS, March 9.—A dinner was given by Mrs. Barton French at her apart- | ment in the Rue de Ville, followed by a dance. Mrs. French’s guests were laughing over a story told of the visit of J. P. Morgan to Mrs. French’s apartment when the financier recently was in Paris. Mr. Morgan showed himself un- familiar with the mysteries of small ele- vators, which are general in Paris apart- ment houses. They run without an at- tendant and are so arranged that it is impossible to open the door of the shaft unless the elevator is exactly at the floor level. Mr. Morgan, impatient, tried to open the door too soon, with the result that the elevator stopped. The financier tried to make himself heard, but couldn’t. He would have re- mained there a prisoner until someone came, but, fearing the elevator might fall at any moment, he decided to risk climbing over the gate of the shaft, which was about six feet high. Mr. Morgan “‘shinned”’ over the :ron bars at some damage to his clothes, but succeeded in accomplishing the _ feat without falling. Heidland’s air-tight

There is no other Leones water pumped to ’ fr otisten ad ample at FOR CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM. If President Taft in his Toledo speech had ut- tered not a word beyond his quotation from a speech of Daniel Webster, he would have covered view of judicial decisions. The quotation is worth repetition: The first object of a free people is the pres- ervation of their liberty; and liberty is only to be preserved by maintaining constitutional restraints and just divisions of political power. Nothing ts more deceptive or more dangerous than the pretense of a desire to simplify government. The simplest govern- ments are despotisms; the next simplest, limt- ited monarchies; but all republics, all gov- ernments of law, must impose numerous limi- tations and qualifications of authority and give many positive and many qualified rights. In other words, they must be subject to rule and regulation. This is the very essence of free political institutions. The spirit of liberty is, indeed, a bold and fearless spirit; but it is also a sharp-sighted spirit; it is a cautious, sagacious, discriminating, far-seeing intelli- gence; it is jealous of encroachment, jealous of power, jealous of man. It demands checks; it seeks for guards; it in- sists on securities; it intrenches itself behind strong defenses, and fortifies itself with all possible care against the assaults of ambi- tion and passion. It does not trust the ami- able weaknesses of human nature, and there- fore it will not permit power to overstep its prescribed limits, though benevolence, good intent and patriotic purpose come along with it. Neither does it satisfy itself with flashy and temporary resistance to illegal authority. Far otherwise. It seeks for duration and permanence. It looks before and after; and, building on the experience of ages which are past, it labors diligently for the benefit of ages to come. This is the nature of constitu- tional liberty; and this is our liberty, if we will rightly understand and preserve it. Every free government is necessarily com- plicated, because all such governments estab- lish restraints, as well on the power of gov- ernment itself as on that of individuals. If we will abolish the distinction. of branches, and have but one branch; if we will abolish jury trials, and leave it all to the Judge; if we will then ordain that the legislator shall himself be that judge; and if we will place the executive power in the same hands, we may readily simplify government. We may easily bring it to the simplest of all possible forms—a pure despotism. But a separation of departments, so far as practical, and the preservation of clear lines of division be- tween them, is the fundamental! idea in the creation of all our constitutions; and, doubt- less, the continuance of regulated liberty de- pends on maintaining these boundaries. Searcely less comprehensive and convincing is his quotation from an opinion of the late Justice Miller of Iowa: It must be conceded that there are such rights in every free government beyond the control of the state. A government which recognized no such rights, which held the lives, the liberty and the property of its citi- zens subject at all times to the absolute dis- position and unlimited control of even the most democratic repository of power is, after all, but a despotism. It is true it is a des- potism of the 'many—of the majority, if you choose to call it so. But it is none the less a despotism. It may well be doubted if a man is to hold all that he is accustomed to call his own, all in which he has placed his hap- piness and the security of which is essen- tial to that happiness, under the unlimited dominion of others, whether it is not wiser that this power should be exercised by one man than by many. The theory of our governments, state and national, is opposed to the deposit of unlim- ited power anywhere, The executive, the legislative and the judicial branches of these governments are all of limited and defined powers, There are limitations on such power, which grow out of the essential nature of all free governments—implied reservations of indi- vidual rights, without which the social com- pact could not exist, and which are respected by all governments entitled to the name. * . + Condemning the recall] of judges as a deadly assault upon the independence of the judiciary, one of the bulwarks of free government, Mr. Taft thus summed up his view of that tenet of mobocracy, the popular review of judicial de- cisions: I have examined this proposed method of reversing judicial decistons on constitutional questions with care. I do not hesitate to say that it lays the ax at the foot of the tree of well-ordered freedom and subjects the guar- antees of life, liberty and property without remedy to the fitful impulse of a temporary majority of an electorate. The President admits the need of reform in our legal procedure, but makes an unanswerable plea for constitutional against revolutionary reform. We believe the sober sense of the American peo- ple will sustain his ame or

It is*said that the discovery of the North and South poles will probably facilitate forecasting the weather. Forecasters will be more certain of their ground, and forecasts will be couched in the definite terms of a positive science. While trusting that this is going to be true one nevertheless sighs to think of the good old word “probably” being taken out of our active and intimate life. We have been accustomed to meeting it daily. It has always been conservative and cordial, and we have come to regard it as a friend. If, as someone has said, chaste is the most beautiful word in our language, pickle is the most grotesque and pants is the funniest, probably is the most convenient. Easily spelled, glibly pro- nounced, always cautious and thoroughly com- petent, it naturally made a great many friends, both in and out of the Weather Bureau. — — = = a ae CUTTING THE LOAN SHARK’S CLAWS. Massachusetts has just acquired a supervisor of loan agencies, the first official appointed to such an office in any state. And, with barely a month of his work on record, the improvement in con- ditions in Boston is already noticeable. Any person or persons loaning sums of $300 or less and charging more than 12. per cent per an- num returns, including interest and all other fees, must take out a State license, which is not issued

Roosevelt’s ad- vocacy of the recall of judges and the popular re- sors advertisements, to prevent them from being misleading. No money can be loaned to any person intoxi- cated, to a minor or to a man when notice has been given by one dependent on him that such loans shall not be made. The borrower must re- ceive a duplicate of every paper he signs. The whole transaction must be made under one note. A flat rate of 15 per cent interest is fixed. Ona 30-day loan the borrower has two weeks’ grace, and can pay in installments. No charge for col- lection can be made, except for actual legal costs. Under the new regime the wage-earner seems likely to get a square deal. What the loan agen- cies think of it is shown by the fact that although 65 licenses have been issued by the new super- visor, he has not yet been able to persuade any of the would-be financiers to take out licenses 13 or 23. a a» vr we The Iowa man who couldn’t buy a cab and horse at the Union Station for $250 is lucky that some- one didn’t sell him the station before he got out of town.

— S LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE St. Patrick’s Day. Ta the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. As the grand and beautiful feast, ever near and dear to the hearts of Irishmen and their sons the world over, will soon be with us, name- ly, St. Patrick’s day, and as this year it will be a holy day of obligation, binding on all Catho- ics to hear mass, I would most respectfully fuggest to the members of the Irish Catholic Parade Union, a very opportune time to revive the customery practice of a civic St. Patrick’s day parade. Furthermore, Ireland, it might well be said, is on the eve of home rule; and this should also stimulate the Irish of St. Louis to cehebrate, with a St. Patrick’s day parade. By all means revive the parade and swing high and wave to the sky the green banner of Ireland in company with our own dear flag, the Stars and Stripes. & Stars and Stripes the [Irish hold As dear to them as their banner green And harp of gold. Then let those pose symbo! be As long as they and time shall last. P. JENEVA., Children on the Stage. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to call attention to the fact that the law prohibiting children to perform in Missouri is certainly being overruled by outside children coming into the city of St. Louis and performing at different places of amusement. This week there are four Japanese children performing at the Hippodrome in a very dangerous act. Ages 8 to 12 years. Last week children performed at the Columbia Theater. Now what right have these Japanese children to perform any more than an American child? And why does St. Louis allow nonresident children to come into our city and to help them to make good in the world, while it is holding its own talented and gifted children down? ONE WHO KNOWS. Police Protection. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to the twelve-hour platoon system, I cannot think why Mr. Hale stated in his speech at the West End Business Men's Association that it was not more police that was needed, but more “police activity.” Now, Mr. Hale, pigeonhole that idea and lay your prejudice to one side and stop your knocking and refer back to the years when our city did not have the popu- lation that it has at the present time. Then also stop and think that the “Broadway Squad” was not known a few years back. They are called policemen; which no doubt they are; but they have no chance to perform actual night duty, be- cause they must do switchmen’s duty for the United Railway Co. Then take policeman that has a partner who walks eight by eight blocks in the Central District and his partner is taken awey on a detail with five or six other men to protect another select few’s interest at a play- house while the small business man must go without police protection. A TAX PAYER. Blind News Man. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Upon the corner of Broadway and Washington avenue every morning, rain or shine, a blind man is found selling papers, and I know your paper will herald this in your columns when I tell you this man with his wife (who is also blind) and baby are in want. The object of this note would »|}be accomplished if persons who pass this corner or who are in immediate neighborhood would take their daily papers from him and help him make a living which I know positively he is not doing now. Won't some kind-hearted people passing this corner take note, and nothing else is asked? ONE WHO KNOWS. Restore Park Flower Beds. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am one of quite a number of persons from Raden who wish to protest against the elimina- tion of most of the flower beds from the Baden Pumping Station grounds as well as those at the Chain of Rocks Park. We, as citizens, have been very proud of the beautiful flower beds, both here and at the Chain, and must say they never were so beautiful as they were last season, and especially at the Chain of Rocks. More peo- ple visited these. places last season than any previous season. | It seems to be the desire of those having charge of the parks to cut down expenses along these lines, but I, for one, think the expense would be small compared to the amount of pleasure people get out of such things, and nice public parks always impress favorably those who come to visit our city. I am told Compton Hill and Bissel’s Point parks have been treated in a like manner. It ds to be hoped the authorities will recon- ider the matter and that we will have these

The Wakenin of Wildwood BY STANLEY EDWARDS JOHNSON. t

WENTY years ago nobody went to Wildwood, and yet, 20 years ago, its mountains were as picturesque, its sun- sets as gorgeous, the white moonlight, streaming through the tops of its tall, dark pines, was as glorious an impressive as today. But now, from an unknown cross roads, it has become one of the most noted and important places on the White Mountain map of Summer travel. The Httle place that slumbered is bounding with life. From the first day of July to the first week of October, every year, more baggage is handled at Wildwood Junction in a sin- gle day than had entered the township in the whole course of its existence prior to its awakening. And its awak- ening was brought about by the great transformer, Death. This is how it came to pass: In the “best room” of the lonely hillside farmhouse of Abraham Jenkins —a room seldom opened except to the ‘minister and book agents—were assem- bled, one November day, the clans of the Jenkinses and Perkinses, to attend the funeral of the late Martha Perkins Jenkins, the farmer’s wife. A stalwart son, the eldest of a family of nine chil- dren, had, after Abraham himself, given voluble testimony to their high appre- ciation of the departed. The leanest o a covey of maiden sisters of the de- ceased took the widower aside and said: “TIT only noe she knows how ye'r feelin’ fer her; it would be a good bit satis- fyin’ to her, I’m sure. She sez to me once. sez she, ‘Ef I go, I know that Abe’ll marry some young thing that never'll tek no interest in the young ones, and they’ll be left ter shift.’ But. ye wouldn’t do that, would ye, e?’’ Disregardin this pointed appeal, Abraham Jenkins cleared his throat and addressed the assembled company: “T’ve jest decided ter tell ye, s’long’s yer all here, that I’ve sort o’ felt ez ef I sh’d foller her soon. So I’ve bought a lot in the graveyard—to be paid fer in installments—and when I die I want yer ter put me by the side of Marthy. Then I shell rest in peace. Them’s my final instructions.”’ urning to the maiden | sisters of his lamented wife, he added: “T know vye'll tek good care o’ them thar youngsters that Marthy sot so much store by.’”’ Then he broke down and sobbed wildly, “Oh, Marthy, Mar- thy, why hev ye gone?’’ a * = OUR months after the funeral an- other Mrs. Abraham Jenkins was alled in the lonely farmhouse, and the was all that the first Mrs. Jenkins had foreboded. Young and frisky, pret- ty Matilda Brice had attracted Abra- ham Jenkins at a Grange sociable, and his mourning had ceased from that mo- ment. ‘That there should be great indigna- tion among the Jenkinses and more or less astonishment in the community at large, was a matter of course, but it was some months after the wedding of the widower before a marble slab mys- teriously appeared in the new Jenkins 8 lot in the village cemetery, bearing the following inscription: He Was Mine. The first stranger to notice the oddity of this bit of mortuary sculpture was a touring bicyclist. What could it mean, hesgwondered. The sexton, whom he hap- peed to catch on the premises, denied al!\ knowledge of the significance of the ription, but he grinned. The bi- cyclist was followed not long afterwards by @ visitor in a buggy. Soon the coun- try/ swains, with their companions, drove from places 2% miles away to read and ponder upon the strange inscription. Picnic parties came and gazed upon it, and, after eating luncheon in the grove of tall pines—now known as Wildwood— went away to spread the intelligence of the peculiar monuments in Wildwood Cemetery and extol the charms of the neighborhood. Summer boarders began to come from New York and Boston, and tourists from the South and the flat, treeless regions of the Middle West, to whom the tow- ering peaks and dense, sweet-smelling woods were as inspiring as they were unfamiliar. Then, to the amazement of everybody, when Abraham Jenkins became.a wid- ower for a second time, the lonely slab was discovered to have a companion on the opposite side of the family lot. It was thus inscribed: HE WAS MINE. This second dazzling marble grave- stone appeared one day in March. Be. fore the season was over Wildwood had bullt its first summer hotel and planned and subscribed the capital for the nar- row-gauge branch around Swallow Hill to connect with the railroad at what is now Wildwood Junction. The new road had hardly been run- ning two seasons when Abraham Jen- kins, white-haired and tottering, fo)l- lowed his second wife to the graveyard to which, after his funeral, all eyes were again turned. Among the towns- people it had always been suspected that the first slab was put up by the Perkinses and the second with money left by the consort who had been Ma- tilda Brice. These conjectures were con- firmed when the will of Abraham Jen- kins was read and a gravestone was erected in accordance with his last in- structions, between those of his depart- ed partners, and it was also conceded that in death he had proved equal in wit to all his wives’ relations, for this was the sculpture it bore, surmounted by hands attached to arms spread out as if in benediction: I WAS THEIRS. Tourists today throng to Wildwood in greater numbers than ever. Tourna- ments are played on the golf Iinks of Hotel Wildwood and the tennis courts of the Minster. near the Cloister Pines. Bear Nook Glen, Artists’ Point and Lec- tern Ledge are visited by shoals of sightseers in buckboards, in automo- biles, awheel, on horseback and afoot. never finer. But the tide of curiosity has ebbed away from the little cemetery on the hill where the bones of Abra- ham Jenkins rest between those of his two wives. and they and the feuds of their families are almost forgotten.

INTERVIEWS WITH CUPID. The Power of Love.

-~ Written for the Post-Dispatch. By BARBARA BLAIR. CHAPTER Il. OU are very prompt,’’ I said “Vy when Cupid entered, again without knocking. “And don't you ever ask for per- mission before entering a person's pri- vate apartment?” ‘Love is always prompt,”’ he smiled. “Neither does Love ever wait for per- mission. But as I have explained sev- eral times before, the object of my call has absolutely nothing to do with you, so you must not take these little re- marke of mine as personal to yourself.” “Nothing pleases me better,’’ Ij replied coldly, “than to learn that tne) nature of your call is impersonal. I have al- ways thought you.a good-for-nothing “uittle wretch and I don’t want to have ANYTHING to do with you.” “If that is the way you feel about it, I shall have to turn this matter over to someone else. It is too important to be lightly or grudgingly attempted.” “Oh, I am perfectly willing to help you along with anyone else, but how CAN I help the God of Love?” “Well, there are several reasons. The Zact that you are a writer who has gone to a good deal of pains to mock me end treat me lightly, may be one reason I find especial satisfaction in making you write for me. Another rea- gon is that you are young enough to have sympathy with my work and old enough to understand me; you are at- ee > But there are so many much more important things in the world than you, Cupid.” “Oh, there are, are there? Why, don’t you know nobody can DO anything or BE anything without ME? Only I, Love, am the controlling power in long- sustained effort of any kind which is really worth while. You turn your back on me th common with many other little folk who sneer at me, and tag servilely after Ambition. What has Am- bition done for you? NOTHING. What has he made of you? NOBODY. You are useful to me as a warning to other people. You wouldn't play with me nor work with me, now you shall work FOR me. I shall make you my secretary. If you are ambitious and work hard, I shall see that you are successful, but you will never be great as I could have made you great.’’ “Oh, Cupid!” 7 sighed. “I mean it, every word. I am. done with you. You can’t trifle with ME.” And with crossed arms he strode sternly back and forth in front of me. “I don't want to be your secretary,” “What difference does that make? Don't you know yet, when I speak, everybody listens? When I ask for ser- vice, it is mine?’ It was true. Reluctant as I was to work for him, I really did not feel that I COULD refuse him. . “What must I do?” 7 asked. He drew his chair closer and lowered his voice to a confidential whisper. _ “Nobody around, eh? Wallis pretty thick? Sure we won't be overheard?’ ) = waar nine what shall I do with you?’ I

The Tigers play their first game of the season this afternoon at Monroe, La. The Louisiana Industrial College will be the opposing club. Four new pitchers will be used by Jennings. The work of Del Gainer will be watched by the Tiger leader closely to find if the broken wrist is O K. There will be no pre-season series be- tween the Mackmen and the Giants. Agree- ment on a place to play could not ~»be reached. ‘‘Stuffy’’ McInnis’ arm, which was in- jured by a pitched ball last season, has rounded to in great shape this year. Mack is tickled over the prospect that McInnis affords for first base—the best in the league, aside from Chase, he thinks. Sunday. the World’s champions and the San Antonio team clash at San Antonio. Rain played havoc with the Naps Fri- day, preventing outdoor workouts. But Hal Davis is pleased. Gregg hag signed his contract, and since that event Davis is pre- ‘dicting One—two place for the Naps. Wolverton is working his men at Atlanta despite almost daily showers. His pitchers had a fine tryout Friday. Cy Young, Perdue, Weaver, Ingerton, Mat- tern and Bridwell are absentees among the Boston Braves. Bill Sweeney is a holdout. Kirk will play second base if Bill kicks up has much fuss. The Phillies have already begun another run of tough luck. Ia five days the team has been on the playing field at Hot Springs, Ark., but three and one-half hours.

Inasmuch ae the Giants grabbed the penfant under the guidance of Mr. Faust, the most successful clown in the game, Callahan intends to fortify his club with such another man.

RINKS IN ST. LED IBALL PLANS RE IRONED OUT Will J. Dooling in New York Arranging for Soccer Trip East. NEW YORK, March 9. Will J. Dooling of St. Louis, secretary of the St. Louis Association Football League, was in New York today to close arrange- ments with Frank Farrell and Tim Hurst for a game between the St. Leos, champions of St. Louis, and the Pawtucket, R. I., team, which holds the American cup. The schedule arranged is as follows: March 16, Philadelphia; March 17, Harrison, N, J., with the West Hud- sons, the National League leaders; March 20, in New York at American League Park, with the Pawtucket team; March 23, Fall River, Mass.; March #4, Paterson, N. J., against the pick of the National League. On the night of March 17, the St. Leos will play a baseball game with the Domini- cans of Electric Park, in Newark, N. J. , The St. Leos are making the tour usider the auspices of the American. Football: As- sociation, and all the games so far ar- ranged for them are to be with clubs of that organization. President Bagnall of ‘the New York State and District League, con- tests the claim that the game with the Pawtuckets will be an American champion- ship contest, as he claims there are three clubs in his league that can defeat any club in the A. F. A., and he is trying hard to get a game with the St. Leos before they go West. Cahill Makes Alliances. Thomas Cahill has just returned from>a trip through the West as an organizer of the American Amateur Footbal! Association, the new organization which is being formed to properly manage soccer football in the United States. The nucleus of the new or- ganization is the New York State and Dis- trict League, with its 86 clubs. Mr. Cahill obtained on hig trip the affiliation of leagues comprising 108 clubs. These leagues are lo- cated in Rochester and Buffalo, N. ¥.3 Erie and Pittsburg, Pa.; Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis (C, B. C. League), Louisville, Bal- timore and Salt Lake City, Utah. Louis- ville could produce only one club, and Balti- more two, but in both places soccer activity is on the increase, and the organization of full leagues is anticipated. The most important acquisition was the Michigan State League, which has 16 clubs. Chicago brings in 10, and St. Louig six. There are also two clubs in Newark, which is the home of the American Football Asso- ciation, which is struggling with the National Amateur Association for control of the game with the object of gaining an affiliation with the International Federation which controls the game in Europe. AMATEURS TO BOX AT IRISH A. C. TONIGHT Bob Douglass has arranged a big card of bexing bouts, with amateur sparrera on the job, tonight. Some of the special matches will bring out clever youngsters.

~~ SS SOS lO A HOT-AEROGRAM. é6 y AY,” remarked Dennis Sweeney, the power behind the pin boy, in the bowling world, after J. D. Woos- ter Lambert of St. Louis had been de- feated by Judge Howard of Chicago for ‘tho presidency of the American Bowling I congress, ‘‘where’s the apprentice Shak- speare who wrote about ‘youth must be served?’ “That guy ought to have his head edited, I’m tellin’. you. the only place that this here youth business gets served is in a hash house with amazon waiters. And then you gotta kick in with a some- thing more than a jitney, now and then. * * = OVERLOOKED SOMETHING. “Why, this Lambert was only 22 years old: and yet here comes along this old spav Judge Howard and noses him out at the finish. I think, on lookiag it over, that there must be a conspiracy against millionaires holding office in the A. B. C. and. that’s why they turned down St. Louis. Here was a man with a million dollars and nothing but time to devote to the cause of tenpins. I can see where they might overlook the time part of it, but the ad valorem accésso- ries didn’t seem to take, neither. “Well, -mnext, year we ‘ll hire parlor double L. fo¥ oF quarters, with Jackson Park as an anteroom. Maybe we can get all the boosters in the quarters then, and get ’em acquainted. We're going *o try again, even if Lambert will be ‘3’ next year,’’ TEAMS TO GET BAD START. RAINING baseball teams in the South seems to have much the same trimmings as preparing for the season in a natatorium. Nearly all teams have been driven to shelter -the greater part of the time, thus far dur- ing the spring outing. Unless an imme- diate reversal of weather comes there will be a fine bunch of unprepared arms going to war in the big leagues April 11. Just so the dampness doesn’t settle up- stairs. ‘‘Charley horse’’ may be a ball player’s nightmare, but think of water on the brain! PLENTY OF DRY SPOTS. F these baseball players did not love their nice, soft, downy hotel beds and the three big meals a day at the owners’ expense there would not be much difficulty in finding dry places to train. Arizona, Nevada and Wew Mexico abound in places where the rain doesn’t light and where, even if the diamond is rather sandy, daily workouts by the men could be made certain. Not only that, but the weather would be so dry the men would have little difficulty taking off weight. But nix on the des- ert country for the baseball lads! Not while there is comfort, amusement and real eating to be had in the rain belt. * + s BILL’S AN OLD AVIATOR. _ Browns arrived in Montgomery just in time to view an aviation meet.

The ground is still filled with frost and dampness and the thermom- eter will have to be well above the freezing point for at least a week be- fore the first game in ‘order that the field may be presentable.

SUDDEN DIAMOND GREETS WALLAGE AT MONTGOMERY Browns Find Sunshine Has Béen Scarce Article at New Training Camp.

From a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 9.~Man- ager Wallace was up bright and early this morning, but was greeted by a stiff, cold north wind and lowering clouds. During the night a cold wave swept down upon the city and the na- tives are shivering. However, the mern- bers of the Browns squad do not seem to mind the chilling blasts which fol- lowed them from St. Louis. ‘At 9 o’clock Wallace went out to the baseball park to recconoiter and inspect the diamond. Manager Dobbs of the Montgoniery club followed him at 10 o’clock. Managers:: Wallace and Dobbs. re- turned from the ball park, which is about two and one-half miles from the city, at 10:30 o’clock, after inspecting the: grounfis. ; Wallace issued orders for practice this afternoon. The daily schedule hereafter will be practice 9:30 till 11:45 in the morning and from 2 to 4#:% o’clock in the afternoon. Sunday afternoon the first ball game will be played.’ Wallace will divide his squad into two teams. Monte Cross will have contrél of the Yannigans. Prospects are‘ good for a bright day Sunday. Hard work is in store for the Brown squad. Wallace said this morning that he would waste no time in whipping his men. into condition. The Browns’ players will be divided, and practice games played between the two squads. The principal team will be headed by Manager Wallace, while Monte Cross will lead the Yannigans. Besides the “‘try-out” games, there wil! be several battles with the Montgomery (Southern League) club, and possibly a game with the Cincinnati Reds, who will come over from Columbus, Ga., where they are training at present. The Browns were greeted by a big crowd on their arrival here, but thére was not a member of the team who was optimistic. The trip from the Missouri metropolis was a heart-breaking jaunt, the official report on the train showing the Browns came in over two hours late. The city is crowded with visitors at- tending the aviation tournament, and the baseball players were forced to bunk up two and three ina room until the town is depieted of visitors. The hotel management has arranged then to de- vote an entire floor to the club, ~

Cardinals Will Finish Work at Jackson, Tenn. Roger and Squad to Leave St. Louis Sunday for the South.

FACTS ABOUT TRAINING CAMPS OF LOCAL CLUBS ACKSON, TENN., where the J Cardinals will finish their spring training, is a town of 15,000 souls. Statistics show that Jackson had a population of 15,000 in 1900 and the same number fn 1910. Jackson isn’t losing any, even though it doesn’t gain. Jackson is represented by a ball club in the Cotton States League, a Class D organization. Montgomery, Ala., the site se- lected by Col. Hedges as the most suitable spot for the Browns to tone up their arms, is a city of 40,000. Montgomery is in the South- ern Association, a Class A league.

From a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WEST BADEN, Ind., March 9.—The Cardinals departed at 9:15 for St. Louis, this morning, after a sojourn of a week at the springs. They will reach home tonight, but will stay only a short time. Jackson, Tenn., will be the next des- tination of the club. This point was decided after a tele- gram from Treasurer Seekamp had been received by Bresnahan, stating the lo- cation meets the requirements needed for training. The team leaves St. Louis at 11:20 p. m., Sunday. ‘The squad was able to get but two good days of outdoor work, while here. The opening day was utilized for sev- eral miles of walkitig, after which the snow and cold put a stop to proceed- ings. The-sun came forth Wednesday, when thé only ball-tossing of the so- journ was indulged in. The skies wept that night and have since only quieted down enough to en- able the athletes to go over to French Lick. Team work bet ween the gambling houses over there and the weather man cost the ballplayers considerable money. One athlete was missed when the team departed. Fred Baker’s waiter certainly sighed with satisfaction when the hun- gry Texan departed, as the poor Ethio- pian is almost humpbacked from carry- ing full dishes to the table and empty ones back to the kitchen.

Why Abe Attell should be favorite in — the betting over Harlem Tommy Mut — phy for their bout at San Francisco this afternoon is a question but few of the St. Louis followers of the boxing game have been able to figure out. It’s true Abe has outpointed Murphy in 10-round bouts, two years ago; but it is also true that when Murphy went the 20-round route he put it over so clever and ablé a scrapper as Owen Mo- ran, tnen esteemed one of the greatest lightweights in the game. Besides, Attell is one year older than Murphy, 28; he is about eleven pounds Hghter in weight; he is asked to go further than he has ever yet attempted against this hard, boxing proposition, and he is meeting a man who all but held even the highly renowned Packey McFarland in a 2-round contest, no longer ago than last Thanksgiving day. ABE HAS NO EDGE. to have anything on Murphy. His one chance is Abraham does not ‘“dope’’ at the tap-and-get-away game; and how + | his time-stiffened joints can carry that game along for 20 rounds is hard for some to see. Abraham was a foxy lad and a capa- — ble one still. away weight—is his long suit, and when playing purely on defense he is at his best. At the Parthian game of shooting on the run he its, perhaps, without «a peer. In this way alone can it be fig- ured that Abraham has a chance win. Undoubtedly he thinks he has chance. heavily on Murphy he will mix up the ight and featherweight divisions in a peculiar tangle. And in the meantime anybody with the nerve to venture odds on Abe cer tainly is there with the inside “info.” MASTERS WAITINGTO HEAR FROM COLLINS: Don Masters, the 8t. Louis sity amateur wrestler who has been trying to get a match with Billy Col- ling, states that no bout has as yet ~ been arranged as he has received no © Mas-_~ reply from his letter to Collins. ters is willing to back himself for $200.
