LEWIS’ SALARY WAS $300 A WEEK, ~WIINESS TESTIFIES Former Treasurer Also De- clares That Defendant as President Was Credited With Another $200 a Week on the Books of the Lewis Publishing Co. LEWIS ASSUMED A PART OF BANK DEBT But Putnam on the Stand Declares That in the End the Publishing Company Had to Take Over the $250,000 Indebtedness. Edward G. Lewis drew $300 a week cash salary as. president of the Lewis Publishing Co. in 1908 and 1909, and in addition, received a credit of $200 a week on his personal indebtedness to the com- pany, according to testimony given Fri- day by Francis V. Putnam of Chicago, the company’s former treasurer, in Lew- is’ trial on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Putnam said his own salary was $125 a week; that Secretary Miller got $12 or $150 a week, and that Judge Shepard Barclay, as counsel for the Lewis pub- lishing, realty.and banking concerns, got $10,000 a year and his office rent. L. B. Tebbetts, he said, in answer to another Question, got no salary except for a time in’ his: capacity as an officer of the American Woman's League, and he did not recall the amount Tebbetts got then. ..He said Lewis received no additional Salary as president of the University Heights Realty and Development Co., or in his capacity as the president of his other companies. Putnam was questioned about the 1% per cent of debts the People’s United States Bank was unable to pay after it had been closed following a United States fraud order. He said he believed Lewis personally assumed obligation for this shortage, amounting to $252.000. Lewis Assumed Debt, A minute book of the People’s Sav- ings Trust Co. for Jan. 22, 1909, con- taining a circular letter in which Lewis agreed to assume the 13 per cent loss, was shown to Putnam. The letter con- tained this sentence over Lewis’ signa- ture: “JT assume your loss of 13 per cent.’’ It was set forth in the letter that the amount was to be paid from Lewis’ in- come. On redirect examination by Houts, Putnam said this obligation was carried on Lewis’ account two or three years and then wipéd off. Lewis’ note, owed to the company, was given credit for $262,000 by Lewis’ order, Putnam said, with the result that it eventually had to be assumed by the publishing com- pany. Capital Increased. Putnam testified further that when the capital stock of the Lewis Publish- ing Co. was increased from $400,000 to $2,500,000, Lewis gave two notes for $1,000,000 each. He said it was always understood between Lewis and himself that Lewis was not lIiable for the notes io the Lewit Publishing Co., that it was merely a formal matter, not an ac- tual subecription. In answer to a question by Houts, Putnam said that Lewis was president of the company at the time he gave the notes. “Did he not make an affidavit that the stock was fully subscribed and one- half of it paid up in cash?’ Houts asked, Putnam answered Lewis made such an was not sure of it. ‘Then if he did make such an davit, it was false, was it not?” District Attorney asked. The defense objected and Houts with- drew the question. Prospect Seemed Bright. ' On cross-examination by Attorney Cullen, Putnam testified that the pros- pect for the company’s business seemed bright in 1908 to him, as well as to Lewie. But on re-direct examination, he gaid that this promise was not fulfilled, and that there was little increase in the advertising revenue of the Lewis publi- cations. When asked why the expectations were not realized, he said the with- drawal of the second-class mail privi- lege in 1999 was the severest blow, as not more than 580 per cent of the former subscription list was readmitted.

He also said, In response to District Attorney Houts’ questions, that the at- tacks of an Eastern publication, copies of which were sent to the Lewis sub- “geribers and to the chapter houses of Me league, did much damage.

Her petition says she borrowed the $40,000 May 25, 1909, and gave as security her note for $60,000 at 6 per cent for six months. On Oct. 7, 1909, she says she paid $1800 interest, with $900 additional interest Feb. 20, 1910. March 25, 1910, she paid off the $60,000 note and the additional interest. She asks $21,000 at 6 per cent interest for the alleged exces- sive charges and $5000 for attorney's fees.

When she confronted Hazel Barrett, the girl threw herself at the knees of the wife she had wronged and begged her forgiveness. “I don’t know what will become of me,’’ she wailed, ‘but you are his wife and you have a right to him.”’ Mrs. Quigley told the girl to get up, but gave no sign of forgiveness, and shook her head when the young woman sought to make another appeai to her.

WOUNDED FEUDIST CAUGHT NEAR SCENE OF COURT KILLING Floyd Allen, Son and Another Seized by 20 Men Who Take | Charge at Hillsville. FUGITIVES .RAID A STORE Mountaineers Reported to Be in North Carolina, Where They Get More Ammunition. —_—4 ROANOKE, Va., March 15.—Betty Ayers, one of the few women who were in the courtroom yesterday at Hills- ville and who was wounded, is reported to be dead at her home. HILLSVILLE, Va., March 15.—Feud- ist Floyd Allen and his son, Victor, were arrested today by T. L. Felts, a moun- tain detective, who arrived with 20 men and took charge of the town as officers of the law. Allen’s brothers and moun- taineer sympathizers yesterday’ shot and killed Judge Massie, Prosecu- tor Foster and Sheriff Webb in the Carroll County Courthouse as Floyd Allen was being sentenced to a year in prison for attacking a deputy sheriff. The desperadoes escaped to the hills with one of their number wounded. It had been reported that Fioyd Allen, wounded, had been recaptured. Another member of the band, James Strickland, was captured while he was hurrying toward Allen’s cabin. Strickland. was armed and declared that if he had not been taken by sur- prise he would have fought to his death to prevent the capture of Allen. “One to Die for Every Prisoner.” As soon as the men were landed in jail the detectives fortified that build- ing and prepared to resist any attempts which might be made to release the prisoners. Friends of the Allens have served notice that for every prisoner captured one man will be. killed. Detective Felts, leader of ths officers, has armed all of his men with army ri- fles, and declares that he will resist to the death any attempt to liberate his prisoners. Victor Allen and Strickland were found hiding in a house in-Hillsville. Floyd Alien had been under guard in a hotel. All were captured without serious re- sistance, although it was said they at first indicated an impulse to shoot their way to liberty. Fifty men are pressing into the moun- tains trying to find others of the gang. It was reported here tnat the other Allen brothers and their followers had crossed the North Carolina line to Mount Airy, where -they are said to have raided a hardware store and ob- tained a new supply of arms and am- munition. There is little belief that the outlaws will be taken alive, and it may be days before a well-directed force is on their trail. Communication Is Difficult.

When guests at the Planters Hotel saw a dapper young man walking about the lobby with a large tin box pad- locked to his left wrist they were curi- ous to know who he was. Bellboys impressively told them he was Joseph J. Morris, a Chicago jewelry salesman, and that the box attached to his wrist by a nickel-plated chain six inches long, contained thousands of dol- lars’ worth of diamonds. Morris registered at the hotel a week ago. Until Weduesday night he carried the box whenever he appeared in the lobby. He even Kept it securely fast- ened to him with padiock while dining. Wednesday night he asked Clerk Bon- neville to put the box in the safe. He explained that he had visited all his St. Louis customers and there was no fur- ther occasion to carry the box around as he feared it might be stolen. An hour later ..orris, smoking a fat cigar, paid a $7 hotel bill with a $10 banknote. Then as if it were a trifling afterthought he asked Bonneville to cash a $50 check signed with the name of a Chicago jewelry. firm for which he said he worked. Bonneville told him the check «ould not be cashed until the bookkeeper re- turned. Morris told him the tin box in the safe would be ample security. He asked that the box be taken from the safe. Opening it, he showed Bonneville that it was filled with small tissue pa- per packages like those in which dia- monds usually are wrapped by jewelry salesmen. The Planters is a member of a hotel heepers’ protective association, which sends out photographic reproductions of ell fraudulent checks which are passed on hotel men. Bonneville looked up the record and found that several worthiess checks signed with the name of the Chicago jewelry firm recently had been cashed in hotels in other cities. One photograph, sent from Denver, was in handwriting which closely resembled that on the check offered by Morris. It was made payable to Harry Marks. A note accompanying it said similar checks payable to J. J. Heilbroenner and Alex. Bernstein also had been passed. Bonneville called detectives and had Morris arrested. At police headquarters Friday the mysterious tin box was opened. It contained 2000 cigarette pa- pers rolled up into little balls. Morris then told the police he had served time in the Columbus (O.) Pen- itentiary on a forgery charge. The legitimate PAID circulation of of the Cpat-pewetet im St. Louls and | siasromer greater than that of | Dafiies . IG SNOWSTORM MOVES EASTWARD, MISSES ST.

Says Lewis Got | $900 a Week and $200 in Credits Continued From Page One. got the addresses of those to whom they sent the papers attacking Lewis. They tried to indicate that postoffice inspectors: might have given out the addresses, and Putnam said at first that he thought an examination by the in- spectors had been under way since 1906. Later, he corrected himself, saying that, so far as he knew, no inspectors had investigated Lewis’ business in the three years following Jan. 1, 1908. Lewis Received Credit. Attorney Cullen of Lewis’ counsel cross-examined Putnam, asking him whether any of the money sent in for stock went to Lewis personally. Put- nam said it did not go to him directly, but repeated his previous statement that Lewis received credit to the extent of $162,000 on his note to the company. Another questi brought out the fact that Theodore F. Meyer, a director of the company, #urchased a quantity of stock, through a broker, in Decem@r, 1908, at 8 or 9 ecnts a share. The price of stock, Putnam said, did not come into the company’s treas- ury. In 1908 and 1909, Putnam said, he con- sidered the company’s prospects good, particularly because of the business which was coming in from the Ameri- can woman’s League. The league, he said, had pledged itself to get subscrip- tions for the Lewis publications to the amount of $1,000,000, and was making’ good progress toward that end. Put- nam said he thought in the latter part of 1908 that the company might soon be able to pay dividends. Aid From League. He said the league was purely a mag- azine subscription organization, and that as most of the subscriptions ob- tained were for the Lewis publications, the Lewis Publishing Co. got fully one- half the league’s revenue. Lewis’ attorneys tried to get into the record a report made by Lewis to the Board of Directors, March 22, 1909, at the time when the 15 per cent dividend was declared on the strength of the bills and accounts receivable. Of this 4ividend, only 2% per cent was paid, Putnam had testified. District Attorney Houts ob- jected on the ground that the document offered was not the original, and Attor- ney Cullen complained that the original was in the hands of the receiver ap- pointed by the Government.

Daily, which were carried as assets on the franchise account. Putnam said these items should have been charged against capital. In response to advertisements printed in the Woman’s National Daily by E. G. Lewis, holders of $225,000 worth of preferred stock of the Lewis Publish- ing Co. gent it in to the company to be resold, according to the testimony of Putnam, Thursday afternoon. In; stead of selling the stock sent in by these shareholders,. the company sold the personal stock of E. G. Lewis to the amount of more than $250,000, he testi- fied. - In December, 1908, nam, Lewis began stockholders, who, for any reason, wished to sell their stock, or transfer it for stock of the People’s Saving Trust Co., should send it in to the treasury of the publishing company, who, in the capacity of broker for the stock- holders, would reallot the stock to those who wished to buy. Stock Sent In, The witness said ‘hat $225,000 of the stock was sent iw for sale, and that the company received offers to buy $250,000 worth of it. None of the stock that was thus sent in went to fill these orders, he testified. Instead they were filled with stock out of the treasury which had been turned back by E. G. Lewis for disposal. The stock sent by subscrib- ers was left with the People’s Savings Trust Co., the witness said, where it still is. according to Put- advertising that Only One “Bromo Quinine” That is Laxative Bromo Quinine.

Coles wanted to know who they were and Gilbert said some of the members of the American Woman’s League had not received them. “That is the first that I have heard about the American Woman's League being in this,” said Coles. In the discussion of the debenture fund Gilbert produced a bundle which he said contained ‘‘the yellow notes’’ or debenture paper of the People’s Sav- ings Trust Co.

Get six ounceg of good, pure gin and add to it one-half ounce Murax Compound and one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu. Take one to two teaspoon- fuls of this mixture after each meal and at bed time. It quickly relieves backache, rheumatic’ pains in the joints, and other well-known symp- toms which can hardly be mentioned here. The ingredients can be had at any good drug store and are easily mixed. Be gure to use good, pure gin. Also make sure to use the gen- uine Murax Compound, which comes in a sealed wooden tube, as a sub- stitute will not give the desired re- sults.—ADV. The real serious forms of kidney disease can be avoided if the above treatment is taken in time.

Hunted Men Are Not Found and Exhausted Pursuers Wade Snow Back to Railroad.

By Aesociated Press. LINCOLN, Neb., March 15.—The three convicts who murdered Warden Dela- haunty, Deputy Warden Wagner and Usher Hileman yesterday afternoon are still at large, and only one intimation as to their whereabouts has been re- ceived. The fugitives are believed to belong to @ robbers’ protective association, which furnished them pistols and explosives. Since the time that they plunged into a whirling snowstorm after shooting .down the men who stood between them and liberty the only clew as to their whereabouts is a report that they had been een entering a haystack south- east of the city.

CHARGES ON BOTH SIDES Mrs. Duggan’s Two _ Actions Against Her Husband Were Brought Within a Year.

Frederick A. Duggan, architect, filed suit for divorcee Friday against Annie Louise Duggan, charging that she had a husband when he married her, June 23, 1902, at Pittsburg, Pa., and that she had not been legally divorced. Duggan says he first learned that his wife had not been legally divorced before marry- ing him, Jan. 23, 1911, and that he sep- arated from her immediately. Twice within the last year Mrs. Dug- gan has brought suits to divorce her husband, but dismissed. both actions. She has an ac.ton for sewarate mainte- nance now pending in the Circuit Court. In her second suit for divorce, Mrs Duggan alleged that her husband boast- ed to her of his conquests of other wom- en.

The members of the posse then waded through the snow to the railroad tracks, a mile away, and, ex- hausted by their exertions, waited for the arrival of a special engine, which brought them back to the city. Since that time a posse has been képt on hand at the Sheriff’s office, but not a word has been reported as to the whereabouts of the men.

As they ran by the warden another bullet was put into his body, as he leaned against a door Casing. Other Convicts Locked in Celis. None of the convicts, except the three who did the shooting, attempted to es- cape.

SAFE DEPOSIT THIEF RESTORES A MILLION Philadelphia Fugitive Found in Berlin, Escapes Prosecution Through Wife. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, arch 15.—Through the influence of his wife, Walter S. Shourds, the vanished superintendent of the Mechanics’ Union Trust Co., has given up the $1,000,000 in securities he is alleged to have taken when he fléd from Philadelphia in August, 1911. The restitution of the securities be-

came public when officials of the trust } 7. company announced Shourds has been found in Berlin, Germany, but that he will not be prosecuted.

SWINDLES TO GET EVEN WITH WORLD Prisoner, Aged 88, Who Once Lost $48,000, Asks to Be Sent Back to Penitentiary. NEW YORK, March 15.—A _ gray- haired and gray-bearded man, who gave his name as Charles Bartlett, and his age as 88 years, pleaded guilty to forg- ery when arraigned before Judge Swann in general sessions. He had been caught while trying to pass a bogus check. “T want to go back to Dannemora, |) where I can get books out of the li- brary,” he said, “and where all my friends are. I have none outside of prison walls.”’ He said that 40 years ago he was a prosperous merchant, when somebody swindled him out.of all he had—$4g,- 000. Then he made up his mind to swin. dle other people. He said that although he had landed in prisons many times, he was gradually getting even with the world. A home was offered him by a church society, but he did not care to accept charity. They wanted to send him to the poorhouse, but he said a fellow must have a bank account to live any way decent there. Judge Swann sentenced him to five years and promised to see the Governor for him a1.-- time he want- ed to get out.

Co. ~ A “St. Patrick’s” Day (Sixth Floornj, s aS > es 3 ae The defendant insurance company thereby will present the novel specta- cle of introducing for their side win- ney’s picturesque tale of Kimmel’s mur- der in the wilds of Oregon in 1898, the testimony put in by the plaintiff at the recent trial in the United States Dis- trict Court which the New York Life Insurance Co. then sought to discredit, Edward O’Bryan of Chicago, Western counsel for the New York Life Ia- surance Co., who, at the Planters Ho- tel, Friday told a Post-Dispatch report- er that Swinney would be a witness for the defense next time, explained this by pointing out that in the State court case the insurance company’s best defense would be to prove that Kimmel died in 1898, while in the Federal Court suit it was up to the plaintiff to show that Kimmel was dead. O’Bryan’s Explanation, Frederick H. Bacon, counsel for Mrs. Edna K. Bonslett of Chicago, sister of the missing banker, who is the plaintiff in the State court suit, brought to col- lect $20,000 on two other New York Life Insurance Co. policies on Kimmel’s life, has said that in the State court suit he will stand on the seven-year presump- tion of death.- O'Bryan explained to the reporter that when Bacon sets up the seven-year plea, he will come into conflict with the Statute of limitations. In Missouri the law says that insurance suits must be filed within three years after death. When the seven-year presumption is fn- voked, suit must then be filed within three years beyond that period, that is, ten years after the man’s disappearance. The Bonslett suit was filed in 1909, which O’Bryan contends was one year after the statute of limitations outlawed the claim. “By Swinney’s story we will set forth that Kimmel was killed on the shores of Coos Bay, Oregon, in August, 1898. Bacon cannot well attack the story of this ex-bandit, because he set such store | by it in the United States Court. If Swinney’'s story be believed, then Ba- con filed this $20,000 suit one year too late.’* Consumption readily attacks those who have had Pneumonia.

Plans to Offset Claim. On being told of O’Bryan’s contention, Bacon said that he would offset the claim that the statute of limitations had run against him by invoking the Kan- sas statute which allows five years after death for filing insurance suits. He said the Kansas law would apply because the Kimmel policies were issued in that State. O’Bryan said he was confident that no Missouri court would uphold a Kansas statute that is in conflict with the Missouri law. In the Kimmel suit States District Court, in which the re- ceiver of the First National Bank of Niles, Mich., is plaintiff, which was tried last month in St. Louis, the seven-year presumption of death did not figure be- cause the suit was filed in 1904, only six years after the disappearance of Kim- mel. The plaintiff had to prove that Kimmel was dead beyond a reasonable doubt, and the weird story of Swinney that he saw Kimmel killed on an Oregon gold hunt and himself shot Kimmel’s slayer, was the plaintiff's only direct testimony that Kimmel was dead. -The jury was unable to reach a verdict.

BUSCH CONCESSION IS FAVORED BY WELLS He Asks Public Hearing on Pro- posal to Vacate South Side Streets and Alleys. A letter was forwarded to Mayor Kreismann and Acting Mayor John H. Gundlach Friday asking a public hear- ing on the bill to vacate certain streets

land alleys in South St. Louis for the proposed plant of the Busch-Sulzer Bros.-Diesel Engine Co. It was written by Rolla Wells, president of the Busi- ness Men’s League, after an open ses- sion of the Public Enterprises Commit- tee of the league Thursday. The Mavor’s attention is called f° the importance of bringing the new iIn- dustry to St. Louis, especially since it Wiii draw to St. Loyjs many workmen of a desirable class. Wells argues the city has no right to receive morey for vacating streets because the city at best controls only the right of the public to pass over them. He thinks that when the city’s greatest interest is to vacate streets for such enterprises as this it ought not to demand pay for so doing. oan eo John—.:his is lear year. Marry me.

EA OE TTT NES a le FEWER THEFTS OF UATTLEIN TEXAS {4 THAN NEW OR SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 15.—Sc efficient has become the work of the inspectors of the Texas ‘Cattle Rals- ers’ Association that Statistics show fewer thefts of cattle in Texas than in New York. While cattle stealing has not wholly disappeared on the Texas range, these inspectors have made it so unpopular that careless- ness with the branding iron or the lasso has become almost unknown. In every section of the State the Cattle Raisers’ Association maintains inspectors, who are charged with the arrest and conviction of cattle thieves. They are ready at a moment's notice to go to the aid of any ranch- man who thinks his cattle are being stolen, These field inspectors are experts, trained on the big ranches. They know of no life except the life of the plains and their instincts for fathom- ing the methods of cattle thieves have been cultivated keenly. They know at sight the 6000 brands recorded at the association headquarters as well as the brands of many ranchmen who are not members. An appreciation of the valuable work of the inspectors may be gained from the fact that last year they re- covered 2260 head of cattle, worth $98,978.60, and restored them to their rightful owners. Many of the inspectors, in recog- nition of their services in enforcing the law, have been elected sheriffs in counties where they operated, Frank M. Canton, formeriy an inspector, is Adjutant-General of Oklahoma; M. RB. Chastian is sheriff at Marfa and John M. McCandless is sheriff at Dal- hart. Others are constubles and dep- uty sheriffs. These men have become Such a terror to cattle thieves that they prefer turning bank robbers or burglars to picking stray cattle off the range.

"The organization of 15 cement compa- Ries of Missouri, Kansas, Texas and ahoma as the Central Portland Ce- ment Co. of West Virginia, with L. S. Mitchell of St. Louis as president, was completed Friday at Kansas City. The different viants will be operating under the merger agreement within a month, it is expected. Headquarters of the company. will be in Kansas City. sMitchell is assistant to B. F. Edwards, president of the National Bank of Com- merce in St. Louis. He said he expected to move to Kansas City soon if the ewsmpany’s present plans are carried out. News dispatches from Say the company’s authorized capital is to be $45,000,000, but Mitchell said it would be less than this, the amount not having been determined yet. Mitchell attended the organization meeting in Kansas City, returning to St. Louis Friday morning. The object of the merger, he said, is to bring about economy in administration, pro- i duction and shipment. The plants in the new company produced approximate- ly 8,000,000 barrels of cement last year, he said. No St. Louis plants are in- cluded in the organization. Adam lL.

DEAD SEED CORN Cag fi oy a BS ENDANGERS IOWA'S BG MONEY CROP Des Moines Boosters Fear $70,- 000,000 Loss if Kernels Are Not Tested. oo ee er eee oe. ~- DES MOINES, Io., March 15.—‘‘He!p | Save Iowa's 1912 Corn Crop” is the ap- peal the Greater Des Moines Booster Committee is sending to newspapers, bankers, business men and farmers throughout the State. The trouble lies with the seed corn, which is said to be “5 to 70 per cent dead. The communication js startling in its report of tests already made and re- ports from other states. Farmers are assured that no seed corn is for sale! elsewhere and that if farmers wait and plant untested seed, it will mean a fail- ure of at least one-half of the crop, or a loss of $70,000,000. Urging immediate tests, the circular continues: “Tests made so far, indicate that it will be necessary to make a germination test of every ear. In testing 100 ears, from 10 to 70 ears may be found that will be safe to use. These can be saved and another lot tested until enough has been found. It will take about 1200 good ears to plant 75 acres. “It has been found that the upper two-thirds of some ears will grow and the lower third is dead. In some lots, one side of an ear will grow, while the other side is dead. In many ears a patch or two is dead, while the rest of the ear is good. Corn on the outside and at the top of the crib will some- times grow, while that in the center is dead. The seed is unusually freakish even for a bad year, and in testing for germination, Kernels should be taken from each side of the ear, some from the center and again about one and a half inches from both butt and tip.’’ The fault lies with pollenization during the growing season. Toadstools Kill Two Children, SEBASTAPOL, Cal., March 15.—As the result of eating toadstools, two small children of Henry Fletcher of Hessel Station are dead and the other five members of the family are danger- ously ill today. Vapor Treatment — For Catarrh The HYOMEI vapor treatment is especially recommended in stubborn cases of chronic catarrh of long standing, but remember that the in- haler should be used daily as usual. This treatment only takes a few minutes’ time before going to bed. Pour a scant teaspoonful of HYOMEI into a kitchen bowl of boiling water, cover head and bowl with towel and breathe for several minutes the vapor that arises. You will be surprised at the results of this treatment; it makes the head fee] fine and clear; you will sleep bet- ter, and that stuffed-up feeling will gradually disappear. This method is also used to break up the worst cold in the head over night. A bottle of HYOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me) costs 50 cents at drug- gists everywhere. Complete outfit, which includes the little pocket in- haler, $1.00. No stomach dosing: just breathe HYOMEI and end catarrh and all dis- eases of the breathing organs. No Cocaine or other injurious- drug's in Hyomei —arv. | SCHMITZ & SHRODER Tomorrow we formally usher in the new Spring season with a most comprehensive display of Youths’, Boys’ and Children’s Clothing, Headwear and Furnishings Every one of our large windows is filled with the newest ereations for Young America. delight the most critical eye Styles and fabrics that full of the dash and fresh- ness of youth, sparkling with newness.

GIFTS OF NIGKELS — AND STAMPS FOR JEFFERSON FUND Contributions to Pulitzer Me- morial to Statesman Sent From’ Far-Off’ Points. PRAISE BY A SOUTHERNER Congressmen Urge Erection of Monument That Shall Repre- enna i sent All the People. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 15.—Contribu- tions are beginning to come in to the Thomas Jefferson memorial fund from the most distant corners of the United States. Nickels and dimes and dollars are adding te the fund. From Orange City, Fla., the following letter reached Mayor Gaynor, chair- man of the fund: “I enclose an offering to help build the Jefferson memorial. Please make one receipt to Mrs’ KE. M. Carpenter and one to Eva May Chand- ler, 5 cents each. It is not as much as the good blind editor gave, but it goes with a world of love and respect to the memory of Thomas Jefferson.” Mary Ronans, New York, sent two 2- cent stamps, expressing the hope that it would start an endless chain of simi- lar contributions, Son of the Southland. W. H. Lamkin of Mount Vernon in- closed $1 with this letter: “As a son of the Southland, in which he (Jefferson) was born and whose people love and revere his memory, as well as the peo- ple of this great nation, who honor him as the greatest statesman born within her confines, I take great pleasure in adding my modest sum from a loving heart to the honor roll of so worthy a cause. May that memorial be placed in a conspicuous place to remind the youth of our land and the foreign-born cit- izens within her gates that America will love and respect the author of the Dec- laration of Independence—our . own Thomas Jefferson—who left his impress on his native State of Virginia and the great American Union which time nor change can ever efface. Believe me, yours, heart and soul, for the memo- rial.’’ Jefferson a Giant Among Giants, Says Senator Overman. WASHINGTON, March 15.—Senator Lée 8. Overman of North Carolina said today of the Jefferson Memorial: “Chief “amonhg the founders of this Government stood Thomas Jefferson. He was a giant among the giants, and hé@ lived in an age of great intellects and gigantic. deeds. “It is jn the last degre a fitting thing that in this era of the revival of demo- cratic tendencies in government, when the Democratic party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, stands at the threshold of another long lease of pow- er, the members of that party should be ‘given an opportunity to make their subscriptions to the material honor of his great name. ‘Heart and soul I favor the project of the World to increase by popular sub- scription the already generous fund started by the late leader of American journalism. Would Please Jefferson. ‘The memorial, paid for in this way, will be the sort which Jefferson would have preferred. The participation of the masses in the erection of this testimo- nial to his greatness would have pleased him as no other honor could. “The citizens of the United States owe much to Thomas Jefferson—as much as io any of the glorious group of rebels who overthrew foreign domination on this continent, and made of the United States a free nation. To the homage of Jefferson all Americans should rally. The foreign-born citizen has just as deep, just as abiding an interest in the Father of Democracy as has the Amer- ican who traces his ancestry back to the Pilgrim Fathers or the Cavaliers of Virginia and the Carolinas. The democ- racy of Jefferson was without restric- tion. The memorial should, in some fashion, typify the fact that it owes its dignity and its beauty to the whole people. The City of New York should be glad that for nearly 30 years it had such a Citizen as the founder of the memorial fund.”’ “Let Good Work Go On.” Representative Clement C. Dickinson of Missouri said: “By all means let the good work in- augurated by the World for the increase of the Pulitzer foundation go on. “Joseph Pulitzer bore the same rela- tion to journalism as did Jefferson to politics. Back to the simple essentials of free government was the guiding idea in his creative mind, for simplicity of laws and simplicity in the administra- tion of the law was the watchword of Thomas Jefferson. Equal rights to all and special privileges to none presents a basis for the formation of law as simple as the character of the great statesman himself. “I believe that as the years roll on the American people will come from day to day to a higher, truer and broader ap- preciation of the mastery of statecraft which Thomas Jefferson possessed. I believe that the memorial in New York will prove the incentive to a further study of the. great father of democ- racy.”’ Approves Fund Pian. Representative William G. Brown of West Virginia said: “The New York World's plan, following out the sugges- tion .of the late Joseph Pulitzer, by which the Democrats of the United States will be given an opportunity to augment the Pulitzer bequest for the foundation of a Jefferson Memorial, has my heartiest approval and warmest commendation. “Thomas Jefferson, an aristocrat bred, was a man of the simplest habit and in the truest sense of the term a Demo- crat. It is Jefferson's example that is The} eget ak CONTRIBUTIONS TO JEFFERSON MEMORIAL HE announcement of the plans T for carrying out the project of the late Joseph Pulitser for a@ great Jefferson memorial in New York City is meeting with en- thusiastic responses from public men of all shades of political opin- ion. Mr. Pulitzer’s idea was that the $25,000 he provided in his will for the statue be doubled by popular subscriptions. The Post-Dispatch will gladly re- ceive, acknowledge and forward contributions. to Jefferson. The principles which he ehuntiated in papers of State, in private correspondence and in literature more than one hundred years ago are just as pregnant. with timely meaning in the twentieth century as they were in the closing days of the eighteenth century and at the opening of the glorious aine- teenth century. “T believe that the more the American people read of Jefferson, the more they study his works, political, philosophical ond scientific, the higher will become the appreciation of this, the sincerest and noblest of the founders of American government.” BOYS’ KNICKER SUITS, 75¢ Globe’s Fire Sale—see page 6.

TENEMENT HOUSES Reveal Many Causes of Consumption Inspection of tenement houses in the large cities by the health authorities discloses many of the causes of con- sumption. Foul air, lack of sunlight and, ventilation, poor lumbing, over- crowding and uncleanliness, together with a neglect of the minor ailments, are declared to be responsible for the alarming spread of tuberzulosis. Public sentiment is rapidly finding expression in progressive tenement laws, but the matters of personal hy- giene are dependent upon the intelli- gence of the people themselves. If ev- ery person would take a dose of virgin oil of pine at the first symptom of a cold or cough, ninety per. cent of the eases of tuberculosis would be pre- vented. It is a well-known fact that virgin. oil of pine, which is for sale by all druggists, will break up any cold in- side of twenty-four hours. Mixed with glycerine and whiskey it makes an in- valuable household remedy, one of the most reliable safeguards against tu- berculosis and pneumonia. Virgin oil of pine is prepared by the Leach Chemical Company, of Cin- cinnati, Ohio.

During the day it may be used by your wife and children in continuing their musical studies, while you may enjoy the fascination of personally producing your favorite music yourself in the evening.

For a short time only we will hold open our offer of Special Terms of $15 down and $10 a month. Thus the last barrier is removed. Your present piano will never be worth as much in exchange for the Technola as it is now. The balance will be so easily paid in the $10 monthly sums that you will never feel it. The low price which we ask is made possible only by the enormous buying and manufacturing facilities of the Aeolian organization. The Aeolian Co. Endorsement Here isa letter which reveals the attitude of musicians well qualified to judge of the musical quality of the Technola Piano, the newest of the Aeolian Company’s products. It is not at all surprising that these well-known artists find the tone and action of the Technola Piano so satis- factory. The great corps of experts and artists in the Aeolian organization spent over four years. in perfecting the Technola Piano before it was put upon the market. Musically, this instrument stands in the same class as those player-pianos offered else-. where at from $650 to $700. With the brains and experience of so great an or- ganization behind it, the Technola Piano was bound to win the enthusiastic endorsement of every musical artist, as well as the general public. ad ~ Pr ae ‘ P x ie a .

PLAZA CITV HALL T0 FOREST PARK NEW SUICESTIN Extension Over Forest Park Boulevard to Connect With Market Street Plans. CROSSES HANDLAN’S PARK Way Diverted East of Grand Avenue With Diagonal Cut to Parked Street. The interest aroused by the plan to create a plaza on Market street from the downtown section to Grand avenue has reached a point where members of the City Plan Commission now suggest the extension of the plaza over Forest Park boulevard to Forest Park. The original plan was to lay out the plaza from Twelfth street to Grand avenue, taking in the ground between Market and Chestnut streets. No definite action has been taken on the preparation of new plans, but at a meeting of the commission, Thursday afternoon, Street Commissioner Tra- villa and President. Reber of the Board of Public Improvements were appointed to estimate the cost of the proposed ex- tension. It was pointed out that Forest Park boulevard has many trees and already is parked in conformity with the pro- posed plaza. It was suggested that if the extension be made, the plaza could be diverted a few blocks east of Grand avenue, to connect diagonally with For- est Park boulevard. By this plan Handlan’s Park at Grand and Laclede avenues would be taken in and would offer most desirable opportunities for Ix.ndscape gardening. It has been suggested that the plaza also be connected with West Pine and boulevards at Grand avenue, Travilla said. It was proposed at first that the extension be made on Lindell boulevard, but this was rejected be- cause the Forest Park boulevard plan | would save the expense of park work that necessarily would have to be done on Lindell boulevard. Offices for the commission have been fitted up in the new Municipal Courts Building. NEW METHODIST PASTOR

Scott’s Emulsion Keeps the Body Thoroughly Nouritshed. In the struggle to* maintain health amid the stress of modern social and commercial conditions, one of the most important points to be considered, ac- cording to scientists, is body noeurish- ment. The properly nourished system virtually is immune to colds, grip, nerv- ousness and scores of other diseases. Breakdown, on the other hand, is al- most certain to follow a serious depres- sion of vigor. 7 In the selection of foods or food reme- dies, those containing a high percent- age of alcohol should be avoided if pos- sible. One of the successful pre-digested foods is Scott’s Emulsion, which not only is free from alcohol and perfectly safe for persons of all ages, but is ex- cellent for enriching the blood, creating strength and improving the health. $250,000 FOR KINDNESS

Winona Winter, now appearing at the Century Theater in the leading-woman role of ‘“‘The Fascinating Widow,”’ star- ring Julian Eltinge, is a quite delightful Southern girl who has won a place all her own in the hearts of American play- goers. Her earlier triumphs were scored in vaudeville, where her sweet and pure voice, well trained and admirably em- ployed, gave a distinctive charm to the songs of her presenting.

very sick with bladder trouble, had intense pains and suffered greatly. At times I could not stand on my feet or sit in’ & chair, and often was forced to cry out with pain. I consulted two doctors who gave me different kind: of medicine, which did me no good. It seemed as though the more of their medicine I took, the worse I became. The doctors seemed to be greatly. puzzled over my case and, after holding a consultation, I was told that I had a severe case of inflammation of the bladder and an operation was very necessary. I was being prepared to be taken to the hospital when a neighbor came to my house and said: ‘‘Why don’t you try a bottle of Dr, Kilmer’s Swamp- Root?’’ I was willing to try anything to get relief from my suffering. My wife bought a bottle of your medicine which I began taking, and soon noticed a change ‘or the better. I con- tinued taking it and got better right along, m appetite returneu, and I was able to resume work. I have used about fourteen bottles of Swamp-Root and know that had I not taken it, I would have been op.- erated on, and perhaps never recov- ered. I never fail to tell my friends about Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root ag I know it will save many people from suffering and perhaps, as in my case, a dangerous operation. Yours gratefully SAMUEL WILSON, N.

DYING ~ INSISTS WIFE ct BEAUTY, SHOT HIN Mm ~Makes Ante-Mortem Statement Which Attorney and Relatives Keep Secret. CA = Husband Was Found Wounded, Locked in Room and Key Was in Secret Hiding Place. N LIVE ONLY FEW HOURS By Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga... March 15.—Eugene H. Grace, who, physicians say, cannot live more than a few hours, has made an ante-mortem statement accusing his wife of shooting him. Doctors said the lower half of his body is paralyzeed, caused by the cutting of the spinal cord by the bullet. The statement, made to attorneys and members of the Grace “amily, was not made public. It is known ‘owever, that he told in detail his story of how his wife shot him; that she remained with him several hours after he was shot and that he begged for physicians ‘and then for water, but both were re- fused. Mrs. Grace received the news of her husband’s condition in her cell, where she still is held without bail. Police Find Him Locked In. Gracé was shot the morning of March 5 in his home on West Eleventh street, Atlanta. The first known of the shoot- ing was when, at 1:30 p. m., he called the police on the telephone. They went! to the house and found him locked in his room. The key was downstairs in a fe} niding place declared afterward by Mrs. Grace to be known only to her husband and herself. On breaking into his room, Senne: was found with a bullet wound in his side, which, it was apparent, had been in- flicted several hours before. Grace said he was awakened at 6 a. m. by a burn- ing sensation in his side, and found that he had been shot. He told his wife and asked her to call a doctor. She left the room, he said, and when she returned said she could not get a doc- tor. Mrs. Grace had left a note down- gtairs the night before for the servants to get their own breakfast in the morn- ing and not disturb Mr. and*® Mrs. Grace. In the morning Mrs. Grace summoned a negro servant to the room to make a fire. The negress heard Grace groan. Mrs. Grace is reported to have said he was not sick but was sleeping. | Mrs. Grace left the house at 12:15 to gO to the depot and take a train to ‘Newman, Ga., to visit the mother of Grace. She told the servants that Grace was better and that if a doctor came, he was not to be admitted. A revolver with one chamber empty was found on a window sill downstairs. Grace had taken out $25,000 life insur- ance a few days before. Grace had planned to go to Philadel- phia the day that Mrs. Grace went to Newman. A letter purporting to have ‘been written by him was mailed to Mrs. Grace at Newman, in which he stated he had decided to defer his departure until the next day. Before the letter reached Newman ars.

The letter fell into the hands of Grace’s relatives. They believe that Mrs. Grace planned to have the letter establish an alibi for her. Grace has repeatedly expressed the belief that his wife shot him. The the- ory of Grace’s friends is that he was drugged before he was shot, and that he was either in a stupor or only partly conscious during the hours of the fore- noon, up to the time that Mrs. Grace left. They argue that she expected him to be found dead, and that the crime would be attributed to a burglar. $7000 SUIT FOR BABY BORN MINUS FINGERS United Railways Asked to Pay Damages for Affliction of 3-Months-Ol71 Infant. A suit for damages in behalf of Helen C. Bertram, who is about three monthg old, seeks to hold the United Railways liable for the affliction of being born without fingers on her left hand. The suit, which was filed Friday through the law firm of John- son & Young, asks $7000 damages. James Bertram of 5414 Elmore ave- nue, father of the infant, appears as “next friend.” The petition recites that on July 3 the plaintiff's mother, Mrs. Clemen- tine Bertram, was on a Cherokee car which left the ‘track and collided with a wagon on Gravois avenue near Meramec street. The driver of the wagon, when the collision occurred, raised his left arm to ward off dan- ger. As he did so Mrs. Bertram no- ticed that the man was deformed in the absence of fingers on the up- raised hand. It is alleged in the pe- tition that the impression and shock ‘eceived by Mrs. Bertram was the eause of her child’s deformity. The United Railways charged with negligence in failing to operate the car in such manner as to have avoided the collision. ELDERLY AIR PASSENGER is -hicagoan Taken Around Statue of Liberty by Coffyn.

Hil!y engineer of the East St. Louis water- works and a half dozen other persons, are nursing bruises and cuts where her horns came in contact with them. Hilly is said to be’ seriously ill at his home as a result of the butting he received from the cow. Bessie started to cut Thursday, in the vicinity of the water- works. There was a negro boy in the street and she made for him, tossed him on her horns and passed on to a second negro, David Gibbons, coal shoveler at the waterworks, who was walking in the middle of the street with his back turned to the cow. After Bessie had shunted Gibbons out of the way, she saw Hilly further down the island. Hilly heard the cow bellow- ing as she ran toward him and tried to escape, but the cow caught him, and witnesses say that, after knocking him down, she trampled him. Then Bessie walked away, but when Hiily got to his feet and started to run for his office the cow followed at a mad gallop. The cow kept Hilly a prisoner in his office until two workmen got ropes and tried to lasso Bessie. Instead of cap- turing Bessie, the would-be cowboys 6toeedd * wWiiits up at 4 p. m., ’, chief i CHILD OF 12 SO. BADLY BURNED SHE DIED : VA .

GRAGE DYING, ~ INSISTS WIFE, RICH BEAUTY, SHOT HIM Makes Ante-Mortem Statement Which Atiorney and Relatives Keep Secret. } CAN LIVE ONLY FEW HOURS Husband Was Found Wounded, Locked in Room and Key Was in Secret Hiding Place. By Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., March 1.—Eugene H. Grace, who, physicians say, cannot live more than a few hours, has made an ante-mortem statement accusing his wife of shooting him. Doctors said the lower half of his body is paralyzeed, caused by the cutting of the spinal cord by the bullet. The statement, made to attorneys and was not made public. It is known wowever, that he told in detail his story of how his wife shot him; that she remained with him several hours after he was shot and that he begged for physicians ‘and then for water, but both were re- fused. Mrs. Grace received the news of her husband’s condition in her cell, where she still is held without bail. Police Find Him Locked In. Grace was shot the morning of March 5 in his home on West Eleventh street, Atlanta. The first known of the shoot- ing was when, at 1:30 p. m., he called the police on the telephone. to the house and found him locked itn his room. The key was downstairs in a eh hiding place declared afterward py Mrs. Grace to be known only to ny ‘husband and herself. On breaking into his roor enind was found with a bullet wou «’in his side, which, it was apparents had been in- flicted several hours beyore. Grace said he was awakened at 6 &. m. by a burn- ing sensation in h‘, side, and. found that he had been -shot. He told his wife and asked he, to call a doctor. She left the room, t# said, and when she returned said fre could not get a doc- tor. Mrs. Gre @ had left a note down- stairs the fight before for the servants to get ‘,.@ir own breakfast in the morn- ing * Ad not disturb Mr. and Mrs. Gra‘ ¢ In the morning Mrs. Grace gurimoned a negro servant to the room The negress heard Grace groan. Mrs. Grace is reported to have said he was not sick but was - sleeping. Mrs. Grace left the house at 12:15 to go to the depot and take a train to Ga., to visit the mother of Grace. She told the servants that Grace was better and that if a doctor came, he was not to be admitted. A revolver with one chamber empty @ “was found on a window sill downstairs. Grace had taken out $25,000 life insur- ance a few days before. Grace had planned to go to Philadel- phia the day that Mrs. Grace went to Newman. A letter purporting to have ‘been written by him was mailed to Mrs. Grace at Newman, in which he stated he had decided to defer his departure until the next day. Before the letter reached Newman Mrs. Grace was noti- ‘and whet a disappointment it is to find that though you are young, your hair is beginning to turn grav—that you are surely going to look old before your time. come—get a bottle of HAY’S HAIR HEALTH today.

The letter fell into the hands of Grace’s relatives. They believe that Mrs. Grace planned to have the letter establish an alibi for her. Grace has repeatedly expressed the belief that his wife shot him. The the- ory of Grace’s friends is that he was drugged before he was shot, and that he was either in a stupor or only partly conscious during the hours of the fore- noon, left. They argue that she expected him to be found dead, and that the crime would be attributed to a burglar. $7000 SUIT FOR BABY BORN MINUS FINGERS United Railways Asked to Pay Damages for Affliction of 3-Months-O!7 Infant. A suit for damages in behalf of Helen C. Bertram, who is about three monthg old, seeks to hold the United Railways liable for the affliction of being born without fingers on her left hand. The suit, which was filed Friday through the law firm of John- son & Young, asks $7000 damages. James Bertram of 5414 Elmore ave- nue, father of the infant, appears as “next friend.” The petition recites that. on July 3 the plaintiff's mother, Mrs. Clemen- tine Bertram, was on a Cherokee car which left the ‘track and collided with a wazon on Gravois avenue near Meramec street. The driver of the wagon when the collision occurred, raised his left arm to ward off dan- ger. As he did s0 Mrs. Bertram no- ticed that the man was deformed in the absence of fingers on the up- raised hand. It is alleged in the pe- tition that the impression and shock received by Mrs. Bertram was the eause of her child’s deforniity. The United Railways charged with negligence in failing to operate the car in such manner as to have avoided the collision. is Don't wait for any more gray hairs to, ELDERLY AIR PASSENGER -hicagoan Taken Around Statue of Liberty by Coffyn.

Hilly, chief engineer of the East St. Louis water- works and a half dozen other persons, are nursing bruises and cuts where her horns came in contact with them. Hilly is said to be seriously i!l at his home as a result of the butting he received from the cow. Bessie started to cut up at 4p. m., Thursday, in the vicinity of the water- works. There was a negro boy in the street and she made for him, tossed him on her horns and passed on to a second negro, David Gibbons, coal shoveler at the waterworks, who was walking in the middle of the street with his back turned to the cow. After Bessie had shunted Gibbons out of the way, she saw Hilly further down the island. Hilly heard the cow bellow- ing as she ran toward him and tried to escape, but the cow caught him, and witnesses say that, after knocking him down, she trampled him. Then Bessie walked away, but when Hilly got to his feet and started to run for his office the cow followed at a mad gallop. The cow kept Hilly a prisoner in his office until two workmen got ropes and tried to lasso Bessie. Instead of cap- turing Bessie, the would-be cowboys ‘ vv tha CHILD OF 12 SO BADLY BURNED SHE DIED OZ Oi4> fC MAZIE MESSERLY. finally had “to run for their lives down the island, while Bessie wandered over into the field of weeds near the river and compened a tramp who had been resting there to scale a tree. A short time afterwards it was report- ed to the police that the enraged cow had appeared at Collinsville and Broad- way and butted several pedestrians on the street, whose names the police did not learn. ~—. CHILD'S DRESS CATGHES ON FIRE; BURNS KILL HER Mother Also Injured Trying to Put Out the Flames. Mazie Messerly, 12 years old, died at the city .hospital at 1 a. m., Friday from burns received when her dress caught fire from an open stove in her home at 1848 Cass avenue. Suffering with toothache, the girl was excused from schoo! Thursday morning and went home. She was alone in the kitchen, heating some medicine for the eching tooth, when Mrs. Mamie Mess- erly, the mother, in the next room, heard screams. She found Mazie ablaze from head to foot. The mother tried t-» beat out the fire and burned her own hands. A patrolman of the Carr Street Sta- tion heard the girl’s screams and ran into the house. Pulling a comforter from a bed, the policeman wrapped it about the child and put out the fire. An ambulance carried the dying girl to the hospital. She was accompanied by her mother and sister, Bertha, who staid by her cot until she died. —. — Woman Dangerously Burned in Her Home.

PLEAS FOR WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE. “You men make the laws so that when you go wrong you get off, but when we women go wrong we go to the gutter and prison,” was one of the remarks of Miss Leonora O’Reilly, who rep- resented the wage-earners in the hearing of the suffragists before the Woman’s Suffrage and Ju- 0 | diciary committees of the Senate and House. lia the personnel of the Supreme Court in the last 17 years. Distinctions that seem trifling some- times assume great importance when viewed from the bench. It was precisely on such distinctions that the tax enacted under the Cleveland admin- istration was held illegal. The Ways and Means Committeemen have cautiously provided a distinc- tion calculated to serve the purpose, if the present court should feel inclined to affirm the tax. POST-DISPATCH DAILY EDITORIAL _

Jane Addams more logically demanded the right of women to vote as mothers who are deeply con- cerned in the welfare of children. She urged the activity of hosts of women in social reform as the proof of their capacity and the reason for giving them the right to vote. ; Ida Harper quoted Lincoln: “This country be- Icngs to the people who inhabit it,” as a reason for amending the Federal Constitution and ad- mitting women to the polls. It was an interesting hearing, but the expedi- jency of trying to amend the Federal Constitution jnow is doubtful. The states, which practically control the suffrage, must be won before the actual ‘|right to vote can be exercised. Woman’s suffrage jis making rapid strides in the states. , The real task of the suffragists is to convert a majority of the women in each state to their cause. When they have converted the women: they can obtain the suffrage in the states. When they can vote under state laws they can force an amendment to the Federal Constitution. The conversion of the women is the first step that will open the way to complete victory. IGNORANT.—Mark Twain died near Redding, Conn.,. April 21, “or 4 .

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Noticing many complaints from street car pas- sengers about the cars stopping on near side and having to wade through the snow and mud, to get on at the rear end, I offer the following sugges- tion, which, I think, would give relief. Have two dcors at the front end of the car, similar to slid- ing door now on front end; the door now on the front end to be used to receive passengers; have the door for discharging passengers at the front end next to the one for receiving. Place the con- ductor’s box just back of the motorman, facing the passengers getting on and off. In this way he would have better control of his car and see people that wished to get on. As it is now he is cnly a collector. The rear platform of car could be closed up and extra seats put in, so that cars would seat at least 15 more passengers than at present. Passengers wishing to ride 30 blocks or more could be sent to rear of car by conductor, and those riding a short distance could take seats nearest the front. Passengers getting on car would pass to the right of the conductor through door nearest the front, pay théir fare and take seats to rear or front, according to distance they are going. Passengers leaving car would pass to front and out through nearest door, and land on the crossing. A PASSENGER WHO STOOD IN THE SNOW. Ireland’s Best Policy. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In his eloquent address delivered in Hibernian Hall on the ocassion of the Emmet anniversary celebration the orator of the eyening, Mr. Daniel MeGlynn of East St. Louis, [Ill., declared that btetal separation from England is the only tolerable and honorable doctrine for the Irish people. It is because I think Mr. McGlynn and his asso- ciates, the Irish Nationalists, are mistaken in this belief that I write you this brief letter. In the first place Ireland is too small a country for such a prolific and rapidly growing race as the Irish. At present the population of Ireland is between four and five millions, but, under the triple fosterage of Home Rule, the landlord-tenant law and constantly increasing manufactures, what will this population bé one hundred years hence? Nothing short of twenty millions at the very least, Imagine such a multitude, mainly a farming com- munity, cooped up in the fifteen million acres of available and cultivatable land of Ireland! The idea is simply preposterous! Allow’ me to suggest a much wiser policy for the Irish people. Let them go over and take posses- sion of England, leaving, of course, a sufficient number of their race in their native land to carry on the work of keeping it respectably populated. By this I do not mean a sudden exodus of the Irish race to England; rather a gradual transfv- sion of Irish blood into the body of Anglo- Saxon- dom. Anyhow, this modest proposal of mine is mere- ly a suggestion to organize and systematize a movement which is already in progress, For more than half a century there has been a steady numerical increase in the Irish element of En- gland’s population. But, if my advice is followed, the time will come when Macaulay’s New Zea- lander will behold from Westminster Bridge, not a ruined St..Paul’s, but a blooming Irish St. Patrick’s Cathedral flourishing in the heart of London, JOSEPH O’FLYNN,

OUR FREE BRIDGE REPROACH. No progress having been made by the munici- pal administration towards supplying approaches necessary to the use of the free bridge for its original purposes, we should consider how the piers can be utilized otherwise for the benefit of the public, Perhaps the piers and the superstructure might be turned into a summer resort. With the aid of the | Park Commissioner and. his staff of: land- scape gardeners and horticulturists a hanging garden.as famous as those of Babylon might be developed. The steel structure would serve as an admirable trellis for vines and an appropriate floor of moss could be laid. - With excursion boats and elevators to carry the people and a band of music to play during the afternoons and evenings, the free bridge might contribute to the joy of St. Louisans in the com- ing summer season. Afi dnvestment of $3,500,000 is rather large for a structure which can be reached only by spiders on their delicate webs, which Cartoonist Minor sees as the sole means of reaching the bridge. Spider web approaches are beautiful, but useless for any passengers but spiders, or any freight ex- cept their spoils. ——----- -— #0 @-- There was an urgent demand Thursday for the services of Express Messenger David A.

Kansas’ University is gathering munitions of war for a campaign against slang. “It is detest- able,” says Prof. R. D. O’Leary. The head of the English department, Prof. C. G.

He declares that the English language in its several encoun- ters with George Ade has had its “slats” all beat- en in and urges that George should practice on pome other Aryan language. .

The Missouri Botanical Garden is the leading botanical ‘garden of the United States. Its new director, Dr. George T.

American science. _ It has also another opportunity, unrestricted by any limitations which botany as a science may place on itself. At present, with the botanical work of classifying and naming so nearly com- plete that it does not excite enthusiasm, the mi- eroscope is being called more and more into play. As this is work for specialists only, the greatest asefulness of the Missouri Botanical Garden for pil depends on the education it can give in _ the meaning of order, of symmetry, of harmony, of fitness in nature.

+ « ia JUST A MIN MINUTE. Queen Maude of Norway is homesick Written for the Post-Dispatch by Olark McAdams. for England. Her greatest joy would be to live there all the year. She never eee a ceases to insist that her husband should give her leave to go there. King Haa- kon, on the contrary, fears that as people would show discontent at a pro- longed absence. Already the press of Norway has raised the question of a lack of sympathy on the part of the Queen for her adopted country. At/! Christiania it is complained that the court costs too much. The sovereigns have a civil list of little more than a million, hardly as much as the cost cf a president of the republic. But the subjects of Haakon remark that when he was Prince of Denmark his mother gave him only 15,000 frances, and that he was satisfied with that. The Queen is not distressed with the unpopularity of which she is the object. “My greatest happiness,” she said tO | the King, ‘‘would be to see a revolution | overturn the throne. Then we shoulil send our luggage to London, and Wwe should live in a cottage.”’ No wife of a King ever wished so ar- dently for the coming of a republic.

LL. Lr — a a AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ST. LOUIS. When the Twelfth International Congress of Navigation meets at Philadelphia, May 23, St. Louis and the entire Mississippi Valley should be represented by a delegation of engineers prepared to explain the Lakes-to-Gulf project. Arrange- ments should have been made long ago for full presentation of the situation before this great gathering of the world’s experts on water-borne commerce, and for bringing a party of them to voyage down the Mississippi and advise upon the best methods of opening a deep waterway. Such men as Bubendey, who built Hamburg’s famous docks; de Thierry, consulting engineer of the Suez Canal; Vetillart and Charguerand of the French Roads and Navigation Department; Yorke, the famous British engineer; Dr. Sympher, the Belgian DuFourney, whom Li Hung Chang’ took t2 China to build railways and harbors; Timonoff of St. Petersburg, Hoerschelman of Kiel] Canal fame, and Col. Hansen, head of the Hydraulic Power Commission of Sweden, are not often gath- ered on one continent, let alone at one spot. The congress will have before it expert reports on every notable hydraulic engineering project in the world. In particular it discusses matters con- cerning the country where it meets. If the Mis- sissippi Valley waterway plan is listed for discus- sion, what steps have been taken to provide it with any information outside of the deprecatory reports of U. S. Army engineers and railroad en- gineers? It may be 20 years before such an eminent gathering of experts on water-borne commerce as that which meets in Philadelphia May 23 will foregather again in America. We should make the most of our opportunity to strengthen the argu- ment for a navigable deep channel in the Mis- sissippi River. IN MEXICO, The ‘Mexican situation, as picturesquely explained by an American who hag recently been there, is this: Francisco Madero, who, like President Taft, hap- pens to be President of the republic until they can get’ to him, worked up his revolution against Diaz by making extrava- gant. promises somewhat similar to those made in the last presidential cam- paign in this country by ‘tthe Republican party. In Mexico there is a very limited class of rich peo- Ple who own all the land, This has been a sore sub- ject in Mexico for a long time, and Madero was politician enough to make it the principal plank of his platform. In brief, he promised to revise the Ownership of land down- ward where the masses -ould share in it, exactly as the Republicans prom- ised to do in this country with the tariff. Madero, like Mr. Taft, won the presidency on this extravagant promise. Then, just as Mr. Taft did, he promptly allied himself with the other crowd and left the peo- ple to whistle. The only particular in which the Taft parallel does not ap- ply to Madero is that Ma- dero is himself one of the big land owners, and therefore could not have fulfilled his promises with- out dispossessing himself, whereas Mr. Taft had nothingeto lose but the friendship of the people who furnished his cam- saign fund. However, Mr. Taft will probably continue in of- fice longer than Madero will. There are more postmasters in this coun- try than there are Fed- eral soldiers in Mexico. per of 1864.

The universities most frequented by men are Berlin, Munich, Leipsi¢ and Bonn, and the favorite subjects are medicine, mathe- matics, philosophy and history. Nearly a third of the women students are at Berlin, while Bonn and Gottingen came next in order of preference. The major- ity study philosophy and history, mathe- matics and natural science. The Child’s Memory. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. This morning my wife and I disagreed over teaching our two-year-old boy to remember faces and pronounce names. Cursed with lifelong mental numbness that arises when asked to re- member something, the result of being “forced” in school under the advefse suggestion system we call “education,” I told my: wife to let the boy’s brain alone. It will develop fast enough—prob- ably too fast. Don’t let him feel it’s hard to remember or say anything. Let him feel his brain is strong, not weak; that remembering is natural and easy, and especially don’t let him show off his infantile vocabulary in public. He is not an amusement bureau. He is not a prodigy. He is just an average human being, and when he goes to school it will be time enough to develop his forgettery, same as mine was de- veloped—by teachers always dwelling on what I couldn’t remember, rather than on what I could remember. So please let the boy enjoy his natural brain —not his unnatural brain—and thus be happy— not terrorized all his life, as I have been by adverse mental stimulation. FATHER. - —

GOV. WILSON’S CHANCES. From the New York World. The World is unable to agree with its friend, Col.

The majority report of the Ways and Means Committee makes a plausible plea for the con- stitutionality of the proposed “excise” tax on incomes. One of the dictionary meanings of “ex- cise” is “a tax upon the pursuit or following of certain sports, trades or occupation, usually tak- ing the form of exactions for licenses.” The theory of Chairman Underwood is that the income tax now proposed is a tax on the busi- ness, professional and other gainful activities of individuals and partnerships. The amount of the tax so levied is proportioned to the size of the gains of each individual and partnership. He hopes that if his proposal is enacted and reaches the courts it will stand on the same basis as a law compelling all persons and firms whose re- wards reach a certain sum to take out a Federal license, The distinction bétween this income tax and the income tax declared invalid in 1895 seems = > aE al ” ¢ ib , > bE >. je 4 Ca > = e .

The Lady and_ the Kwang-Chiu BY FRANK L. POLLOCK.

The Daily Short Story for Post-Dispatch Readers

ROADWAY was in the state of congestion it usually at- tains about 4 o’clock on a pleasant afternoon, when a closed carriage drove slowly up the stret. It stopped op- posite city hall, and a heav- fly veiled lady got out. As she ap- roached the fountain in the center of ity Hall Park, a Chinaman passed her, walking rapidly in the opposite di- ion. Apparently the crowd forced the two together, but in another min- y, while the lady leisurely re- to her carriage and was driven They had not interchanged a Nevertheless something had stealthily from the lean fingers of the Oriental to the half-ex- tended gloved hand of the veiled lady. She dismissed the carriage at the Fifth areque Hotel and ascended to a room whic already contained baggage marked “P. V.” about an hour she came down to the office again, paid her bill and, ordering a cab for the Grand Central, handed the clerk a note to be forwarded by special messenger. It was addressed to Miss Florence Vande- water, 135 Madison avenue, and it read as follows: pas turned wn. Fifth Avenue Hotel. 5 p. m. Dear Fierence: I have just found that I must go to New Orleans for a . I leave in half an My address later. Hurriedly. Your affectionate sister. PRISCILLA, Now that she had removed her veil it was evident that Miss Priscilla Vande- water was a young woman of about 20 years of age, blessed with a deter- mined character and an enthusiastic Cisposition. Probably her friends would not have been greatly surprised at any time to hear that she had suddenly started off on imperative business eith- er to the Gulf of Mexico or to the antip- odes. But what was remarkable, the thine that: no one but herself and the ticket agent knew and only the China- man could have suspected, was the fact that the ticket she carried in her trav- éling baz was marked, not for New Or- leans but, via San Francisco, for Hong ong. The journey was uneventful, but as it drew near its close her fellow pas- sengers remarked that Miss Vande- Water Was growing nervous. She nad eriods of marked depression, and her ‘hand went more and more frequently to her breast. When the steamer ar- rived in Hong Kong she engaged a rick- shaw andé@ was driven at once to the American consulate, and the next day, without stopping for the sights of the town, she took a coasting steamer for Canton. The sight cf Canton seemed to in- crease her excitement. As soon as she arrived at the pier she selected one among the howling mob of boatmen to ferry herself and her luggaze ashore, immediately engaged a rickshaw and offered the coolies extra money to take ‘her as rapidly us possible first to the ‘consulate and then to the Orient Hotel. ‘Ywo hours later, pale but determined, ‘her hand grasping her skirt r pocket, which contained the yellow box and a bulldog revoiver, she was again in a ricksh aw. At last the rickshaw emerged from the enser portion of the city and stopped ore a lofty brick wall which abutted roadway. After a considerable the coolies, who were watching, saw the gate itself swung open and, to t amazement, she disappeared with- in.

I do not care to talk with you.’’ The girl laughed. She had seen the start of terror and it gave her courage. She dropped the formal Chinese phrase- ology. ‘‘Do you find it all there?” she asked. ‘“‘The secret .negotiations with Russia, the plot to divide Manchuria— for whch you were to receive 10,000,000 taels, were you not?—and the plan to destroy the English power in the East?

Then he sat and considered. while Priscilla Vandewater stood quietly and watched his immov- able saffron countenance. At last he spoke. “What do you want?’ said he. Ten minutes later Miss Vandewater emerged from the gates of the monas- tery, and when the coolies reached the hotel, she wearily descended from her rickshaw, ordered a private parlor and sent her card to Horace Mannering. ‘Tell him I must see him at once,’’ she bade the servant, and while she waited she paced up and down the little room. When Horace Mannering was ushered into the parlor he was amazed to find not the calm and encouragingly kind Miss Vandewater of his acquaintance. but a strangely flushed and _ excited young woman, who appeared to shrink from him and hardly permitted him to greet her. She held out her hand stiffly. “T sent for you, Mr. Mannering,”’ she began, “to tell you you must leave China at once. At once!’’ she repeated feverishly. answering his look of amaze- ment. ‘‘You must not lose a moment. You want to know why? Wait—I will tell you. I will tell you everything.” She put up her hand and brushed the hair from her forehead. It was burn- ing. Now that he was actually in her presence, it seemed to her that what she had done was bold, unwomanly, in- excusable. She was glad that it was done, that he was safe: yes, even now she told herself that she was glad of that; but it was hard to have to ex- plain. She faltered through her story lamely, her eves on the floor. When she had finished and there was a litile pause, she looked up anxiously. “You came from New York to do this for me?”’ he’said gently, “We are friends,’’ she stammered. “Anyone would do as much for a friend. It was to save your life. But now go,” she begged.. “Save yourself and leave me! Indeed, there ts no time to loge. And I am tired—oh, so tired'’’ She extended her hand in farewell. He took it, but he did not go away. In- stead, he put the table aside, gently pushed her back upon the sofa, and sat down beside her. “Listen, Priscilla,” he said. ‘‘You have given a promise for me. To keep it I must destroy a hook that I believe would make my name famous. I will not do this to save my life—but for one other thing I will do it. Do you under- stand ?’’ * © . ” e * * That he succeeded tin explaining satis- factorily may be inferred from the fact that shortly after they were the central figures at a reception given at the Amer- ican consulate, where an ingeniously frosted pound cake figured conspicuous- ly among the refreshments. and where there were no persons. present who could possibly have been suspected of belonging to the Kwang Chiu. ‘Copyright, the Shortstory Pub.

ROOKLYN TOMMY SULLI- B VAN, now of St. Louts, and Tommy Dixon of Kansas City h.uve been matched to box eight rounds at the Irish-American Ath- letic Club. The terms were agreed on Friday morning. Dixon will let Sullivan weigh in at 126 pounds at 3 o’clock the day of the contest. The bout will be the feature event of the big card to be put on April &

John Creeley of Indianapolis, who has been doing fairly well among the feath- erweight boxers of the middle Western States, is the first man to be given a chance at George Kirkwood, the clever South Broadway boxer who made such an excellent impression on Pacific Coast fans, during a recent campaign there. Creeley will box Kirkwood at the April 2 show of the St. Louis Ath- letic Club. The men will weigh 122 pounds and the bout is scheduled to go eight rounds. Creeley has met Ollie Kirk, the former St. Louis amateur, and while no deci- sion was rendered the bout was consid- ered rather even between the men. On this line Kirkwood appears a better man than Creeley, as, even as an ama- teur he handed Kirk a trimming, when the former M. A. C. star was at his best. Since that time Kirk has battled his way up from nothing to recognition on the Pacific Coast, a country noted for partimjlity. to its native sons. Kirkwood’s best bout was his 10-round vic- tory over ®ehny Kaufman at Oakland, Cal. The referée’ and every newspaper critic ex- cept ag KAve Kirkwood a big edge over the sturdy youngster. Kaufman is credited with having the better of Johny Kilbane in two no-decision bduts. The contest will at least show the ambi- tious Kirkwood to St. Louisans for the first time since he became a professional. ROBIDOU TO BOX HAYES. Bobby Robidou, the St. Louis bantam box- er, who has done most of his scrapping at Memphis, Tenn., and who recently trimmed Benny MoGovern here at the Coliseum, has been matched with “Chick’’ Hayes, a stable mate’ of Ray Bronson, claimant of the wel- terweight ‘thammpionship.

Cardinals Not to Come North for Soring Game, March 23, if Cold Stays

Manager Is Pointing ienen for April 11 and Will Pass Up St. Louis if He Can’t Practice Here.

fell here yesterday afternoon, W strenuous session this afternoon. Should the weather man continue to frown on Bresnahan’s plans, it would put a serious crimp in the team’s con- dition. The players all are nursing sore arms and legs and the only cure for such ailment is more work. If this is impossible, the whips and running gears will remain on the shelf for probably an- other week. Bresnahan has received no official no- tification of the doings of-the Mound City weather man, but the Duke is hop- ing against hope that he soon will show some spring styles. If the weather in St. Louis continues unfavorable, the Cardinals will prolong their stay here. This means that Bres- nahan will not go North March 22, un- less there is a sure chance of the first game with the Browns being staged per schedule on March 23. However, the Cards are n are not shirking. They’re willing and fall series between the Card- inals and Browns, last year. Af- ter the subcellar tenants of the Ameri- can League had humbled the leaders of the second division of the National League, sanguine supporters of the lat- ter team came to bat with the assertion that the Cardinals would have won had Bresnahan been in the game. However, they overlooked the fact that Bresna- han didn’t play in the spring series and yet the Cardinals copped seven straight from the Browns. Now the true dope is this: The Cardi- nals were overconfident in the fall, whereas in the spring they were bub- bling with determination“and aggres- siveness. We get this from one of the wise heads of the Cardinal club. Ed Koney opines as follows: “Nothing but overconfidence beat us in the fall. We didn’t begin to play the game we did in the spring, but I will ad- mit that the Browns were in much better shape in the fall than they were in the spring. In the pre-season games last year Wallace’s club was in poor shape, while we were almost on edge. We got the flying start, and we never even hesi- tated. We ran over them rough-shod and they couldn't recover. In the fall we dallied along, figuring we could go out and win any old time. When the pinch came, though, we were unequal to the oc- casion, falling before Joe Lake in the first game of that double-header at the wind- up. Lake pitched grand bal! that day. “But I want to tell you that the Car- Jana a funny angle to the spring WHY PAY MORE

By W. J. O’CONNOR. A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JACKSON, Miss., March 15. HAT probably was the heaviest rain since the year of the big flood putting an end to the Cardinals’ mat- the morning to play any time that the American bosses see fit to start the series, but the management is not willing to break camp here unless sure of being able to practice at home. Roger is pointing his team for the opening of the National League season on April ll. He wants his men to get in all the work they can before that date, and he does not propose to go North unless he can get the required amount of practice there. It was announced today that the team would play a game with the Meridian (Miss.) team next week, probably Thurs- day afternoon, when the Cardinals will start for home, if the chances for play- ing the Browns are reported favorable. Groundkeeper Shaner intends to leave here Sunday. He will work on the home diamond and have it in shape for the first game, March 23. Overconfidence, Not Absence of Roger, Beat Cards in Fall Games dinals is one of the best ‘spring’ clubs in the league. Last year when we opened the National League season with the Cubs in Chicago, Jimmy Sheckard came to me and said: ‘I'd rather open against any club in the league than you fellows.’ Whereupon we went out and beat the Cubs one game and tied them in two others. Chance’s men were keen to get a flying start, but we put a crimp in their plans. “I believe we will have our players g0- ing at top speed by March 28. I don’t care how many handicaps we have had to buck, I still feel confident that we will be step- ping high when the bell rings. ‘*There isn’t a man on our club who needs a great deal of training. None of them are over weight. They'll all be ready, and just take a tip from me, we will beat the Browns. We have a better ball club, a club that is just beginning to develop team work @ la clock work. We'll cop, sure.” Ed said the same thing last spring and me made btn

Wray’s Column WHAT'S A SLAVE? W E are to infer from Represen- tative Gallagher’s arraignment of organized baseball, because of its oppression of the down-trodden baseball chattel, that the definition of a slave is: 1. One whose day’s work consists of two hours’ play, on pleasant afternoons. On all other days slaves must do penance by sitting indoors at a $2 show, or cutting in at a game of draw. 2. One who is compelled daily for six months to eat the best foods obtainable, and sleep in the best beds hotels can furnish. The oniy freedom from this Spartan Rigor is when the slave hits the luxurious hay in a Pullman berth: or gets a chance to enjoy a sandwich meal at a junction when the train is late. 8. One who is hounded by the ‘‘trust’’ into consenting to receive a full year’s pay for six months’ work. 4. One who, under pain of blacklist, is com- pelled to travel about the country, look at the scenery and perform other nauseous chores at the instigation of an owner. 5. One who is compelled to accept a bank cashier’s salary for wearing good clothes and employing the physica) gifts given him at birth. There are other points entering into |

poor to invest any money in expenses to and from the tryouts. Still he thinks he is about good enough to win a mem- bership on the American team, which sails on the Finland .for Sweden this summer. At present there is no provision made for the men who can not be present at the tryouts, men who-have done well in their local district contests. The A. A. U. will harcdiy assume such expenses, and it’s up to the athlete’s club or friends to supply him with transporta- tion to and from the tests. * * * PRIVATE TREALS A SOLUTION. Failure to find the ‘“‘sinews” may work a hardship in some cases, but it will hardly be permitted to stand in the way of selecting the best American team possible. The men in charge of making up the team know every athlete of ex- ceptional ability in the country, and efforts will be made to get these in line. lor example, Gwyn Henry, the South- western sprinter, who is about the best in the country right now, will be un- able to take part In the tryouts, because of his university connections.

PATA TO TRY FOR A POSITION ON OLYMPIC TEAM Young St. Louis U. Star Begins Preparations for Tryout Meet in Chicago.

BROAD JUMP HIS FORTE }

ut He’s Also a Star Over the Low Hurdles, in a Pinch.

By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. If St. Louis is not represented in the Olympic games, it will not be because Harry Ratican, the clever St. Louis University athlete, does not try for a place on the American team that is go- ing to Stockholm, Sweden, in July. Ratican has already started training, and will compete in the middle Western trials at Northwestern University field in Chicago, June 8, in an effort to prove that he is entitled to become a member

of the Yankee party of runners, jumper: ' and weight men. Only 18 years old, Ratican, who comes from a family of athletes, has been de- | veloping rapidly. Although John R. Ben- der is no longer connected officially in an athletic way with the blue and white school, he has taken Ratiean under his wing, and is prepping him for the trials. Bender Believes He'll Improve. Bender believes Ratican has an excellent chance to make the American team. He will try in two epeciaities, the low hurdle and broad jumping events. Ratican, according to Bender, has never tried very hard to put bimeelf on edge for the difficult contests in which he has participated. That’s because he has found the competition rather easy. In a low hurdie event last summer he de- feated John Patrick Nicholson, the Mis- f souri University athlete, who is favored for a@ place on the Yankee team. Ratican, how- ever, was disqualified because he knocked ‘over a couple of hurdles. Bender believes Ratican can excel his ‘‘stick’’ performances of last season. It is in the broad jump, though, that Rati- can is expected to show his best form. He :does even better at this branch of sport than in hurdling. and with Bender’s capable coaching he ehould give the best of them arub. Ratican already owns a mark of bet- ter than 22 feet in this event, but will have to work himself up 24 or 36 inches more to beat out Irons, the Maroon crack, in this specialty. Collegians to Meet Y. M. C, A. . Bender is not only tutoring Ratican, but ce also working with the entire St. Louis ‘VU. ‘squad. A dual meet has been arranged “with the Central Y. M. C. A. athletes, to *be held in the St. Louis U. gymnasium next }whursday night. This should be a closely “eontested set of games, although the blue fand: white men will probably win out by a pp lamh, margin. Ratican is favored to win in the high Horan high Yyump and 50-yard dash, while *\, iis Bray, who won the 600-yard handi- Seap in the M. A. C. meet, is picked for igh. e distance runs. '* Cook, who represented the Y. M. C. A, Sa yeur ago, is now a student in the law de- oe at St. Louis U. and will. oppose »bis former mates. In W.

& Recommendations Then Will Be Made for Improving Street Car Service. U. R. EARNINGS INCREASE *ewer Trips in 1911 Due to Poor Garden Business, Says McCulloch. —

The Public Service Commission is about to enter on the last stage of its investigation of the United Railways Co., and soon will be ready to recom- mend legisiation governing street car service to the Municipal Assembly. The company has returned to the com- mission the great part of the inventory, made by the commission and covering the company’s property. This was sub- mitted to the company for checking up. Some parts are still under examination by the company, and as soon as these are returned, the commission will pre- pare its report on the company’s earn- ing capacity and financial condition. It is expected the report will be ready by May. It is not expected that any reduction of fares will be recommended, the fares on the various lines being fixed by or- dinance. But the commission has the power to determine what improvements in the service are needed, and to make recommendations to the assembly for legislation covering those needs. Report Show, Increases. The annual report of the United Rail- ways Co., filed in January, showed that the company carried 7,090,000 more pas- sengers in 80,622 fewer trips in 1911 than in 1910. In 1911 the cars made 5,970,370 trips and carried 228,625,134 passengers, while in 1910 221,520,565 passengers were carried on 6,050,992 trips. The earnings of the United Railways Co. for January showed an increase «f $11,976 over January, 1911, and the oper- ating expenses an increase of $9164. The gross earnings for the month were $932,- 895 and the operating expenses, tax>s and depreciation $636,481, leaving net earnings of $296,491, an increase of $2si2 over the same month last year. The surplus for the month amounted to $71.- 334, an increase of $8098. A Post-Dispatch reporter asked Presi- dent McCulloch of the United Railways Co, whether the carrying of more pas- sengers on fewer trips in 1911 than in 1910 meant a diminution of the service, or could be otherwise explained. He re- plied the decrease in trips was due al- most entirely to the falling off of sum- mer garden traffic. He said that on the main lines of the United Railways, in “rush hours,’’ the company actually operated more car3 in 1911 than in 1910, and is now running more cars than last year. When he was asked to give figures supporting this statement, dealing with the number of cars operated on the Olive, Hodiamont, Wellston and Broad- way divisions, President McCulloch re- “used. Wants No Controversies. “IT do not tare to get into controversy with irresponsible people,’’ he said, by way of explaining his refusal. ‘“‘Were I dealing with a newspaper alone, or with well-known individuals, I would make public everything asked, but I get into argument with a lot of letter writers in the people's column of ‘the newspaper. They can say anything they like, true and false, and I cannot make them prove it. I do not want to argue with those people, “The decrease in our summer garden traffic last year, and the decrease in attendance at the ball games, was di- rectly responsible for the fewer trips that were made. For handling the reg- ular traffic of the company, we are now making more trips than in former years. But last summer the garden traffic went to pleces. The ~eople visited the nickel- edeons and airdomes in their home neighborhoods and did not patronize the street pars. ‘The garden business fell off. One management went into bankruptcy, and of course, we did not operate anything like the usual summer schedule to han- die this re@uced business. It was not necessary to run empty cars to and from the amusement places, and the discon- tinuance of this traffic caused the on), decrease in our total trips last year."’ It’s leap year.

at Symphony Concert Miss Rose Goldsmith, a soprano of rare ability, will be soloist Sunday at the Symphony Orchestra's first ‘“‘re- quest” concert of the season. Miss Goldsmith already is known to St. Louis- ans for her church and recital work, and her appearance at the Odeon is ex- pected to be an artistic triumph. Her selections will include the ‘Par- la’’ waltz song by Arditti and the ‘‘Re- turna Vincitor’ from Verdi's “Aida.” The program arranged for the “re- quest” concert is unusually attractive, and the concert is expected to be one of the most delightful of the “Sunday pop’ season. Two of the eight num- bers for orchestra will be Wagner's compositions, his music being preferred to that of all other composers, accord- ing to the requests received by Con- ductor Zach.

5-CENT ERROR CORRECTED

Sum Remitted on Judgment and Record Change Is Necessary. Clerks in the record room of the Cir- cuit Clerk's office were engaged Thurs- day in erasing entries in various records so that a correction of 5 cents could be made in a judgment for $103.70 in the suit of G. R. Jansen against A. R. Grund for a balance on a note. An error of 5 cents was made by the jury in computing interest, and this was entered on the records of Judge Homer's ceurt. After the mistake waa discovered and plaintiff's lawyer, for the sake of accuracy, remitted 5 cents of the judgment, the change was neces- sary. The costs for this correction greatly exceed the excess judgment, and

The Board of Health Thursday after- noon declared a public nuisance, the glycerine and candle plant of the Good- win Manufacturing Co., at 3332 Chouteau avenue, after women living in that neighborhood had testified that the foul odors and gases coming from the factory made them ill, killed chickens, destroyed vegetation and ruined clothing. The board issued an order that the nuisance must be abated, and if this be ignored, the owners of the plant will be prosecuted in Police Court, Health Commissioner Starkloff said. Inquiry Lasts Six Months, The investigation of the concern be- gan six months ago, at which time the owners told the Board of Health that they would install !mprovements that would abolish the odors. Four women and several men appeared before the board to testify that the nuisance now is worse than ever before. Mrs. William Stewart of 3311 La Salle street, said that the gases from the candle and glycerine factory, where fats and decayed animal matter are used for raw material, killed her chickens and made members of her family ill. “Ten of my finest chickens died, and I know the odor killed them,’’ Mrs. Stew- ert said. “A year ago we had typhoid fever in the house and I believe the fuul gases faused that. Not a sprig of grass will grow in our yard and our vegetable* gardens are utter failures. Now my little boy’s pigeons are all dy- ing and I am sure the odor is the cause. Soot Adds to Nuisance, ‘We cannot hang out the family wash- ing in the neighborhood, because soot frons the factory ruins it. Large chunks of soot from the plant fall like snow over our yards and houses, and when- ever a piece of that soot hits a sheet or a dress on the line it burns a hole in it just like some kind of acid.”’ Mrs. W. J. Horn of 3304 La Salle street told a similar story. “The odors from that place make us all sick,” she said, ‘‘and the gases ruin our yards and clothing.”’ Mrs. August Dankin of 3301 La Salle street, Mrs. Vaughn of 3304 La Salle street and Mrs. B. Baer were at the! hearing, but did not testify. They nodded approval to all that Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Horn said. Patrick J. Regan of 3424 Caroline street, Dr. A. H. Sante of 1115 South Grand avenue, Henry Ashmeyer of 3428 Vista avenue and W. J. Horn appeared and told stories similar to those related by the women. Inspectors of the Health Department told the board that the condition of the Goodwin plant is worse now than it was six months ago, and on their report the Board unanimously declared the plant a nuisance. No representative of the Goodwin Manufacturing Co. was pres- ent at the hearing. {FAMILY NEARLY STARVED
