Special Trains From Three Places Pursued Despera- does Who Killed Warden and Two of His Assistants.

OMAHA, Neb., Mareh 18.—In a fight with hundreds of police, detectives and militiamen, two of the convicts who escaped from the State penitentiary at Lincoln after killing the Warden and two assistants. were shot to death and the third was captured to- day. Advices from three different sources say the posses killed Convicts Taylor and Dowd and have captured Morley. The fight took place north of Gretna. Another report at 2:30 was that Taylor was killed, Dowd committed suicide and Morley surrendered. Another report has it that Roy Blunt, the farmer who was driving their con- veyance, also was killed. Fugitives Lie in Sleigh. At 1 o’clock all the posses knew that the convicts were being driven toward Springfield in a sleigh by Roy Blunt, a farmer who resides three miles north of town. The convicts were lying down in the body of the vehicle, forcing the far- mer to expose himself to the bullets of the posse should firing begin when they got within firing distance. The three convicts approached the Blunt home at ll a. m. and forced the farmer to take them in his sleigh to Springfield. He refused at first, but they covered him with their guns and ordered him to make haste to start. The first of the pursuing posses at that time was a mile behind the fleeing convicts. Two other posses were a ehort distance in the rear and the of- ficers were rapidly gaining on their quarry. Reports received here say that the three fugitive murderers ditched a sto- len handcar at Meadow, Neb., threw the car into the Missouri River and started north toward this city on foot. Meadow ig in the southwest part of Sarpy Coun- ty, 15 miles southwest of this city. At 11:15 a. m. the three convicts left the Blunt farmhouse, three miles north of here, and started in a southerly di- rection. At 11:35 they were in a corn- field south of the Blunt home and a posse was organizing ta take them. A special train was coming from Omaha and another had already ar- rived from Plattsmouth, carrying large posses, Another was on the way from Lincoln, bearing a sheriff's posse and a body of militia. The three murderers, Taylor, Morley and Dowd, spent Friday night, al! day Saturday and part of Saturday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hall on a farm five miles east and a mile north of Havelock. After tyine Mr. and Mrs. Hall so securely that they believed they could not selves, they tore tie ment from its place, cut the wires and left the Hall home at 10:30 p. m. Satur- day.

BENHAZI, Tripoli, March 18.—Bombs dropped from an aeroplane belonging to the Italian expeditionary force killed 1) Arabs and wounded others in a Turk- ish camp some distance from this city today. The aeroplane, driven by an army avi- ator and carrying an officer as passen- ger flew at a considerable altitude into the desert, where a strong Turkish and Arab encampment was found in a well- sheltered position. Before the aeroplane was noticed by the enemy, the Italian officer had mace valuable observations.

NEW YORK, March 18.--Dr. Mary E. Walker, who for more than a half cen- tury has been wearing trousers, is crit- ically ill in the Presbyterian Hospital.

Henry Schick, who disappeared from his home in Belleville, 30 years ago, and long been thought dead by all his fam- ily, including: his wife, who had mar- ried again, has been found by a son, alive and prosperous on a _ Colorado ranch. George Schick, brother of the son wno found the father, and a County Super- visor of St. Clair County, Ill, received a letter Monday, telling him there is no doubt the Colorado rancher is his long-missing parent. He expects to vis- it the Colorado man soon and find out, if he can, why the parent disap- peared and remained silent so long. ‘Former friends of the man so long thought dead believe that he learnea of his wife’s -marriage and, fearing to cause her embarrassment, waited until her death to make himself known again to his children.

NEWOSBOY STEALS A BATH IN WEST END APARTMENT: SLEEPS Agent Showing Vacant Flat, Finds Youth Slumbering, After Laundering His Shirt.

Deprived of the luxury of his private bath Wil- liam Flannigan—Willie, for short—here- in a West End apartment, after will perform his ablutions in the Salvation Army -Home on Broadway. Willie is a newsboy who finds a Sun- day morning bath almost indispensible. Several weeks ago he found means of entering an unoccupied flat in the Dun- das apartments, Taylor avenue and Washington boulevard. Its bathroom appealed to Willie’s esthetic sensibili- ties and he has been slipping into it whenever occasion offered. Sunday he sought his private tub. First he washed out his shirt and hung it on a radiator to dry. Then he crawled into the tub and luxuriated in the warm water until Ne went co sleep. He was in no hurry, as the sh. sad to dry. About that time George C. Blythe, egent for the apartments, and a janitor showed some prospective renters through the flat. They were surprised to find the bathroom door locked. The janitor looked over the transom. Then he jumped back, pale and excited. “There’s a woman dead in the bath tub,’’ he exclaimed. Blythe took a look, and, seeing Wil- lie’s g..irt, decided there must be a dead man in the room, too. The tele- phone brought several patrolmen on the run from the Page boulevard station. A woman remembered had heard shots several nights before. policemen broke open the door dragzed Willle out of his bath. Biythe joined in the laugh when explained.

JUROR: “LOSES HIS. TEETH One of 12 in Packers’ Trial Now Eats Baby Food. CHICAGO, March 18.—Adams Clow, a juror in the trial of the beef magnates, will eat baby food or something akin to it as long as the trial lasts. Clow possessed a full set of fine artifi- cial teeth. He had the sleep-walking habit. When he awoke yesterday there was a large vacuum between his jaws. He discovered all his teeth had @€4isap- peared. He began a search and soon in- terested all his fellow jurors and two deputy marshals. The teeth could not be found. There was an open window, but no teeth could be traced in the street beneath. The theory of the marshals is that he in some way tossed the teeth out of his mouth through the window while tn his sleep-walking stunt. For breakfast he had bread and milk. For lunch he had mush and miix and soft eggs.

ACTION BASED ON SERMON F. J. Gould Declares Minister Said Christian Need Not Ac- cept Christ’s Divinity.

of the Missouri Meth- in Kansas City, a the Rev. pastor of the Maple Avenue Methodist Church, has been made in a letter to Quayle, who will preside at the con- ference, Fred J. Gould of 6114 Waterman avenue, The reappoint- ment or transfer of St. Louis pastors will be determined by Bishop Quayle at the conference, Gould is a real estate dealer, and a member of the Board of Stewards of Cabanne Methodist Church, -South. The Methodist Episcopal Church, commonly known as the Northern Methodist, and the M. E. Church South are distinct denominations. Gould, at his downtown office, ex- plained to a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday his reason for making such charges of heresy against a minis- ter of another denomination than his own, Shocked by Sermon, He Says. “My only son,’ said Gould, “is a stu- dent of Washington University, and has Jately been attending Dr. Lichliter’s church. . He has often praised the preaching he heard there, and frequent- ly urged me and his mother to go there with him. We did so a few Sunday nights ago, and I had an experience I hope I shall never have again. [ heard the minister declare that it was not necessary for Christians to believe in the divinity of Christ’s birth, or to accept the authority of the church and the Bible.”’ “T was so shocked and grieved that, after returning home, I wrote Bishop Quayle a letter expressing my surprise that such things should be heard from a pulpit of one of the leading churches of Methodism. I was moved in part by eoncern for my son, whom I have done my best to rear in the Christian faith. On the eve odist conference charge of heresy against M. H.

The letter must have been giv- en out by the Bishop, or by some per- gon to whom he may have sent it. “I got a reply from the Bishop, but I shall give him the consideration I would like to have had, and shall not make his reply public.” When asked whether he believed the matter would be taken up by the con- ference at Kansas City, Gould said he felt sure that it would. He did not state whether he had any other reason for this belief than his letter from Bish- op Quayle. Pastor Lichliter refused to talk of the charges made in Gould’s letter, but said he realized that, while the charges had nO formal standing before a church court, they might have their influence on the Bishop's action in filling the pul- pit of the Maple Avenue Church for Es ‘Another year.

St. Louis: Financiers Do Not En- force Chicago Rule Against Marriage of Feminine Em- ployes. The policy of a large Chicago bank to employ no married women and to dis- charge single women who marry is not followed in St. Louis tanking institu-

Some of the St. Louis banks, however, do not employ women at all, except as telephone or telegraph operators, but where women are carried on the pay- rolls, no distinction 1s made between married and single ones. The announcement of the Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chi- cago that it would not employ married women brought about a lively debate Sunday at a meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor and also disclosed

tions according to investigations made Mon@ay by the Post-Dispatch. the reasons for the policy. W. G. Schroeder, vice-president of the er / —- institution, said the officials believe a married woman should be at home, and not at an adding machine or typewriter, and should not pre-empt the rights of single women who have to earn their living. ‘“‘Business and matrimony—for women—don’t go together,” is one of his comments, according to news dis- patches. None of the bankers interviewed had any objection to the employment of married woman, as long as their home

cuties would not interfere with work at the office.

ST PATRICK NOT A ROMAN CATHOLIC, TUTTLE DECLARES Alluding to the observance of St. Pat- rick’s day in many St. Louis churches, Bishop Tuttle, in his sermon Sundy at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Com- munion, declared that St. Patrick was never a Roman Catholic. The bishop was addressing a large con- firmation class, and incidentally men- tioned the fact that the day was being widely observed in honor of St. Patrick. “And St. Patrick,” he remarked, “was never a Roman Catholic. The Irish church in Patrick’s time, was an inde- pendent church, and it was not until long after his death that it became a part of the Church of Rome.”’ The bishop’s declaration was of much interest to his hearers, many of whom though knowing that the place of St. Patrick’s birth was a matter of dispute, had never before heard his connection with the Catholic Church questioned. The bishop did not go farther into the historical controversy suggested by his remarks, but passed on to another theme. More than 200 persons attended the thirteenth annual St. Patrick’s day ban- quet of the consolidated Irish-American and Sons of Erin socteties at the Jef- ferson Hotel Sunday night. With toasts, patriotic songs and feasting, the merry- making lasted until after midnight. Archbishop John J. Glennon pro- nounced the invocation and closed the evening with a witty talk. Edward L. Hearn of New York, past supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, and W. I. Nolan of Minneapolis made the principal addresses. Mrs. John H. Cur- ran and Mrs. Arthur Cornelius Schutz sang. P. F. Cook gave several recita- tions with plano accompaniments by his daughter, Miss Esther Cook. Crossed Irish and American flags and flowers were the decorations. The services at St. Patrick’s Church Sunday morning were impressive. Near- ly 100 priests attended. The Knights of Columbus Choral Club sang the mass. In a procession from the parochial resi- dence were 100 boys and girls, the girls in white and the boys wearing white waista,

Women Witnesses | - Tell of Investing | in Lewis’ Concerns Continued From Page One.

until all was subscribed for, but that Mrs. Webster would get her share of any dividend which might be declared before the issuing of her stock. Mrs. Webster said, in reply to further questions by the counsel for the de- fense, that she had presented her griev- ance to the Congressional Committee which is investigating Lewis’ claim against the Government for alleged dam- age wrought to his enterprises by the Postoffice Department. Mrs. W. C. Heggie of Ithaca, N. Y., the second witness, told of investing a total of $5200 in the People’s United States Bank, the 7 per cent notes of the Lewis Publishing Co. and the notes of the University Heights Realty and De- velopment Co. The bank investment was transformed, after the closing of the bank, into publishing company stock. It amounted to $2000, as Mrs. Heggie and her husband each sub- scribed $500, and she received $1000 of the bank stock as a legacy from her parents. | % Mrs. Heggie identified an article from the Woman’s National Daily of Jan. 26, 1909, as having induced her to invest. It was headed “A Matter of Choice,”’ and told of the founding of the American Woman’s League and of the Lewis Pub- lishing Co.’s recovery from its heavy losses. Investments in the company, it was declared, would soon yield ‘200 per cent for all time.’ She said she was in- fluenced by this declaration, and by a ‘“‘Heart-to-Heart Talk With the Editor,” which appeared in the Woman's Maga- zine in January, 1909, and was signed by E. G. Lewis. This article, which was read, said the i0v,000 members of the Founders’ Chap- ter of the league would receive a life income of $20 to $30 a month, and that pledges were ‘‘coming in by the thou- sands’’ from members who promised to send in $1 a week for a year. This amount from 100,000 members, it was pointed out, would be $5,200,000 a year. The article stated that four daily newspapers had been obtained to aid in the league's work. Mrs. Heggie said she got none of her principal back, and only a small part of the interest. In cross-examining Mrs. Heggie, At- torney Cullen made use of a typewrit- ten list of questions, nearly all of which were made the subject of objections, but which brought several contentions of the defense to the jury’s attention. The objections were for the most part sustained by Judge Amidon. Judge Amidon ruled out questions re lating to the action of the Postoffice Department against the Lewis enter- prises, saying that it was sufficient for the prosecution to show that investors relied on Lewis’ statements as to the finaticial condition of his concern, and and

aie willfully and intentionally false. She was allowed to answer the ques- tions whether she had heard or read speeches made by David R. Francis and Joseph W. Folk :t University City, lin which Lewis was praised, and she said she might have read the speeches, but did not remember it. District At- torney Houts then asked her if she knew whether Francis or Folk had knowledge, at the time of their speeches, of the condition of Lewis’ companies and the means to which he was resort- ing to raise money. She said she knew nothing as to this. Questions Ruled Out. Some of the questions ruled out were whether the witness sympathized with Lewis in his contention that postoffice fraud orders should be subject to court review, whether she sympathized with him in his support of the Crumpacker bill, and in his attitude on public ques- tions. She was asked if she knew that 100 publishers, meeting here in connection with the League convention, had in- dorsed Lewis. She said she did not know. She said she had read of losses through the fraud order and the withdrawal of the second-class mail privilege, but had also read in the Lewis papers that the enterprises had recovered from. these losses and were in flourishing condition.

West End Residents of Exclusive Sections Feared Use for Switch Tracks.

NEW YORK, March 18.—Roberts Walker, chairman of the Executive Board of the Rock Island Railroad, ex- pressed surprise when told today by @ Post-Dispatch correspondent that the De Giverville Land Co., composed of owners of costly residences in West- moreland place and the adjoining exclu- sive residence section of St. Louis, had defaulted in the payment of interest on the purchase price of the tract formerly used by the railroad for freight yards. The property owners, as told in Sun- day’s Post-Dispatch, paid $100,000 down when they bought the land from the railroad company, and gave a deed of trust for the balance of the $375,000 pur- chase price. The interest payment due Feb. 1 has not been made, and the St. Louisans expect foreclosure. But they declare the property, by terms made at the time of the deal, will hereafter be restricted to residence uses. Walker did not dispute the property owners’ contention that the tract can- not again be used for railroad yards. “We very willingly agreed to make the restrictions,” he said, ‘‘for at that time we had decided to cease using the property for railroad purposes. But the property owners seemed to fear we would continue to use the land for rail- road purposes, and decided for that rea- son to buy it. If we had contemplated using the land in future for railroad purposes, we would hardly have sold it “If they are not going to pay the bal- ance we will simply have some more real estate on our hands, which, of course, we will dispose of if we can do so to advantage. I do not anticipate any loss in the transaction.”

Eczema Relieved at Once Resinol Finally Effected Perfect Cure. Anyone trying Resinol is always a great enthusiast. Relief is s0 quick and results so.certain that people should have no more fear from skin diseases. Read what this woman says: “I cannot speak highly enough of Resinol Soap. I think it invaluable in the home, especially among the children. . “We had a rather stubborn case of eczema several years ago. Act- ing on the advice of my physician, I immediately procured a jar of Resinol Ointment and a cake of Res- inol Soap, which I found gave re- lief at once, and finally effected 4 perfect cure. “Mrs. V. A. Collins, “McSherrytown, Pa.” Resinol Ointment is the most won- derful skin remedy today. For sores, pimples, every form of erupD- tive disease, irritation and inflamma- tion, eczema, tetter, milkcrust, scald head, ringworm, barber’s itch, black- heads, chilblains, cracked lips, chaps, burns, scalds, it is an effectual and reliable remedy.

There is nothing better for shampooing or cleaning the scalp and preventing falling out of the hair. The Resinol preparations are sold by all drug- gists, the Ointment in two sizes, at 50c and $1.00, the Soap at 25c a cake. You can make a free trial bv writ-

MID CLUBS DENOUNCED Resolution Asking (Governor Hadley to Permit Violation of Closing Law Fails. t ““ The Tenth Ward Improvement Asso- Ciation discussed lid clubs at its meet- , : ; & :

ing, Sunday afternoon, and denounced them, but an attempt to have a resolu- tion adopted asking Gov. Hadley to open ‘the saloons from noon to midnight on Sunday failed because the members did not want to go on record as requesting the Governor to allow the State laws to be violated : The discussion was precipitated by Laurence Padberg, president of the Re- tail Liquor Dealers’ Association, offer- ing a resolution condemning the clubs and petitioning the Governor to permit the saloons to be opened at noon on Sun- days. The resolution was as follows “Whereas, The liquor laws of the State of Missouri are being flagrantly violated

by hundreds of so-called lid clubs throughout the city of St. Louis by the indiscriminate and illegal sale of liquors | therein—in many instances for the ben- “ t and profit of private individuals, liticlans and others rather than ad- vancing any legal object. “This contraband sale has been tacitly encouraged by the practice of trafficking in charters by brewers and other agen-| ‘cies, who supply such places; by the patronage of young boys and girls, many - of whom are under age, and by women questionable character, which has Maused the lid clubs to become a men- ice to the morals of the community. | FA Brewers’ Help Is Asked. 'f “Resolved, That the responsibility for | ne continuance of such places rests to great extent upon the firms and cor- porations that supply them with goods - and wares, because if the supply is re- moved the business ceases, and there- fore we call upon them to discontinue such service in order to co-operate with us in this much-needed reform. “Resolved, That the Circuit Attorney of this city, the official primarily charged with the duty of ferreting out and prosecuting all persons who sell - Jiquors illegally in lid clubs and other unlicensed places, be and he is hereby _ publicly called upon to forthwith take the necessary steps to abate the notori- ously illegal conditions now existing in connection with many of the so-called clubs in this city. “Resolved, That we heartily approve of the equitable position taken by the various organizations, civic societies and other influential bodies and public-spir- ited citizens to inaugurate a movement or a ‘liberal Sunday’ in this great city, securing the enactment of such leg- slation as will permit the liquor mer- hant to sell wines, liquors and beer on nday in a decent and orderly man- er, such as existed for more than a undred years prior to the advent of o»-called reform governors. “Resolved, That the Tenth Ward Im- ovement Association petition the Gov- or to open saloons on Sunday be- een the hours of 12 o’clock noon and o'clock midnight.’’ Ruled Out of Order. Y. J. Bauer, secretary of the Liquor salers’ Association, spoke in support the resolution. Edward Rosenthal, attorney, contended that the associa- pn should not go on record as asking » Governor to permit violations of > law. After about a dozen members d discussed the resolution, most of em ¢avoring the opening of saloons Sunday, F. C. Freiberg, the presi- Ment, ruled it out of order because it ked permission to violate the law, and >» vote was taken on it. The subject of Sunday opening was ferred to the executive board of the rganization, with directions to try to nd a way of having the saloons opened Seithout violating the law, and a report s to be made by the board at the next meeting of the organization.

TAFT INFAVOR OF APRIMARY IF ITS WELL SAFEGUARDED President, Answering Dixon, Says There Should Be Penal- ties and Proper Notice.

“COURT CRITICS MENACE” ttt > He Tells Massachusetts Court the People Always Have Ruled in America.

By Associated Press. BOSTON, March 18.—President Taft to- day declared himself in favor of prefer- ential primaries surrounded by certain conditions for the coming campaign. “Wherever full and fair notice of the election can be given, wherever adequate election safeguards can be thrown around to protect a preferential primary for the presidency, the Con- stitution of the State permits its being made applicable to the present election, wherever I favor it, and welcome :t.’’ This was the President’s statement to-| day before the General Court of Massa- chusetts. It was his personal reply to the challenge of preferential primaries issued some time ago by Senator Jo- seph M. Dixon, Col. Roosevelt’s mana-

wer. President Taft did not refer to the challenge, however. The President made a@ rather pointed reference to the propo- sition “let the people rule,’’ and had something to say about the recall of the judiciary and the recall of judicial de- cisions. ‘Irresponsible assaults upon either, in intemperate language or baseless 4as- sumptions of corruption or by bias or incompetency, made by those whose statements have influence with any part of our people, are a serious menace to enduring government,’’ said the Presi- dent. Wants Primary Safeguards, His address in part follows: “The question of how delegates are to be selected to any political conven- tion, or how nominees are to be selected by a party, originally was a matter merely of voluntary. and party adjust- ment, but so important to the public at large did the character of the candidates to be selected by each party become, that the state properly has interfered so as to throw safguards around the ex- ercise by all those who belong to a party of their privilege to have a voice in the choice of their party candidates. “I am not going to discuss in detail the question of direct primary elections —their uses and abuses. I think every- one will admit, however, in order that they may ccomplish the good they are intended to accomplish, they should be safeguarded by effective provision as to the party eligibility of voters who par- ticipate in them, and by penal provi- sions, securing conformity to rules of such eligibility and the honest casting and counting of the ballot. “I do not hesitate to say that, in my judgment, a voluntary primary outside the law known by its informal charac- ter as a ‘soap box’ primary, is worse than none, for it gives full opportunity to the Ineligible voter to cast unfair votes and without the sanction and safeguam of penal provisions in respect to casting and counting the ballots is an open avenue for fraud and violence. “It is eminently appropriate that in every election and in the discussion of all issues that affect the republic we should discuss and hear much of the popular will and of the rights of the people. This is a government based on popular contro!l. * * * Says People Have Ruled. “But the continued iteration and re- iteration of the proposition, ple rule,’ if it has any ail and is intended otherwise than to flatter the people, is intended to ‘he a reflection on the Government that we have had down to the present time. “Now, in spite of all the corruption, in spite of all the machine politics, in Spite of every defect Ip the operation of our government that can be pointed out, I do not hesitate to say that the wistory of the last 135 years shows that the people have ruled. “The occasion for these remarks is the attack on our fudiciary, and the pro- posal by judicial recall, or recall of ju- dicial decisions to destroy its independ- ‘Let the peo- Significance at arch of government the keystone. Judietal Reform Necessary. “Y deny that there ts in the decisions ot procedure, the expedition of judg- ments and the reduction of the expense of litigation. “One easily can discover a tendency in modern politics to exalt above the written law and above the written con- stitution what is called ‘popular wii!,’ as if that were a higher law to which we must all admit allegiance by obey- ing it and ignore or transgress statu- tory and constitutional limitations. “This heresy is not exactly in the [form of an assertion that judges and others .are to ignore statutes and con- stitutions because of a conflicting pop- ular will, but it is in the more insidious proposition that plain construction of the statute or of the constitution is t9 be defeated and a strained and other- wise impossihle construction put on the language of the statute or constitution in deference to what is supposed to be popular will. The President here quoted a Western Governor, whom he did not name, who had declared ‘‘whatever is right is con- stitutional,’”” and who had _ Lincoln’s ‘The life of this nation is greater than any constitution,’’ to sustain his view. “It is impossible to escape the mean- ing of such a view,”’ said the President, “and that is that the plain construction of the Constitution is to be perverted because it is thought the people at present would prefer not to be subject to the limitation contained in the Con- stitution lawfully administered. The quoted words of Lincoln have here no application, It fis true that ‘‘whatever is right is constitutional’ unless the dec- laration of the right is contained in Dr.Bi Bull S For “ie hs hoarseness, bronchitis, croup, influenza, whooping cough, measles cough, and for asthmatic and consump- tive coughs in all stages of the Tenens: Good for man, woman and child. eer * ge PRICE, 25 © 25 CLN No Pc sai or Chloroform. “I had a cough fo four weeks, but afte ewe bottles of Dr. ull’s Cou yrup the cough was all ne.” James W mg 2626 8. be Sou Bt Phi I gone You will tone up your system and feel better for taking, in the morning, * glass of

the Constitution and not forbidden by it. “Popular will to be effective and con- trolling with courts must be embodied in statutory enactment or constitutional law. “It is not left to the executive of state or nation, or to the Judge on the bench, whether State or Federal, to decide what is right when there is law declaring what is right on the statute books. The law is the guide of the Judge and the Governor, and not his individual opin- ion as to whether the law is good or not. “This is a government of law and not of changing economic and political the- ories of judicial or executive officers when those theories are in conflict with the express letter of the law. Sugges- tions of that sort are dangerous because they put the ship of state on a sea of trouble, without a rudder. They destroy that respect for constituted authority that is essential to well ordered liberty. ‘The strength of the Government and the strength of the judiciary must rest ultimately upon the confidence of the people in their integrity.”’

Mann to have militia from the states North Carolina and Tennessee surround their stronghold. The Allens and their supporters are believed now to number 100 and to be fortified near Devil’s Den. With lines of militia around the foothills, it is be- lieved a determined band could force the mountaineers from their retreat, and that they could be captured as they fled. Dynamite was suggested today as an effective aid in the hunt for members of the clan. Devil’s Den is an almost inaccessible retreat, a stronghold virtu- ally impregnable. The Commonwealth of Virginia is de- termined at all costs to bring to justice for the murder here last week of five of its citizens, including the officers of Caroll County Circuit Court. Picked men remained on the mountain side all night guarding the approaches to Devil’s Den and early today the de- tachment was joined by the entire posse of 75 detectives and citizen volunteers who had rested over night in Hillsville after an exhausting day yesterday. Teuwn Gets Little Food. While the detectives are preparing to starve out the fugitives if possible, by cutting off their food supply from sur- rounding districts, Hillsville itself is not receiving any too much food. Farmers, fearing that the town still is in disor- der, are slow about bringing their wares to market. The Allen desperadoes had a confers ence at the home of Jasper (Jack) Al- len, the leader of the Allen family, Sat- urday, not long before the officers went out to search Sidna Allen’s home. Jack lives a mile beyond where the searching party stopped. After getting the advice of Jack, who has more than ordinary cunning, Sidna Allen and his party went over the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where they are now in hid- ing in the mountain fastnesses of the Fancy Gap region. Jasper Allen, who is a brother of Sidna and Floyd Allen, but who is said not to have been involved in the trag- edy, made a statement at his home, eight miles from Hillsville. He said: ‘“T am greatly surprised and shocked at what has happened. I do not think my brothers have made any plot or plan. When I saw Sidna the night of the of Virginia, ishooting, he told me he knew nothing of any trouble beforehand and was sur- prised himself when the shooting began in the courtroom.” Need of Militia Is Shown, Sunday’s search by 150 detectives and citizen volunteers demonstrated that un- less the militia is sent here to begin a sytematic siege of the hiding places of the outlaws they never may be caught. For such a plan a camping site was se- lected today by representatives of Gov. Mann, It has been suggested that Gov. Mann of Virginia, Gov. Kitchin of North Caro- lina and Gov. Hooper of Tennessee sur- round the Fancy Gap country with mili- tary companies. Fourteen detectives went into the Blue Ridge Mountains Sunday afternoon and struck the trail of Sidna Edwards, who had been to the foothills on an errand. They were about two hours behind him. A part of the posse returned, leaving eight men in the mountains who were on the trail of Edwards, a nephew of Floyd Allen, with the prospect of cap- turing him soon. Nephew of Allen Said to Be _ Sur- rounded in Laurel Thicket. CHARLOTTE, N. C., March 18.—A dispatch from Pulaski, Va., says men under Detective Felts of Roanoke have surrounded Sidna Edwards, a nephew of Sidna Allen, and news of his capture is momentarily expected. It is said that Edwards fled from his home without his rifle or other arms at the approach of the posse and ran into a laurel thicket which was sur- rounded immediately. Governor Appoints Judge to Fill Massie’s Unexpired Term, RICHMOND, Va., March 18.—Archibald A. Campbell of Wytheville was appoint- ed today by Gov. Mann to fill the un- expired term of Judge Thornton Massie as presiding Judge of the Court of the Twenty-first District, which includes Hilisville.

THOMAS JEFFFERSON MEMORIAL FUND Pulitzer feundation Contributions to the close of banking business Saturday

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Pest-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Mrch 18.—Philip Weigel Jr.. a hardware merchant of New Brunswick, N. J., sent $10 to the Thomas Jefferson memorial fund in behalf of himself, his father, his son and grand- gon. In acknowledging the contribution it might be arranged this way: Philip Weigel Philip Weigel II Philip Weigel I1]......ccecesecoeeees 2 50 Philip Weigel IV........-.s++- pense 2 50 Philip Weigel II wrote: “It gives me great pleasure to sub- scribe a mite to increase the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Fund. It also af- fords me pleasure to state that this in- spiration of feeling and admiration for Jefferson comes from a lifelong Demo- crat, my father, now in his eighty-sev- enth year, hale and hearty, a sire rep- resenting four generations of Democrats, all first-born male members of each family, and all named Philip. “Besides this group of four genera- tions of Weigel Democrats my father is the sire of seven sons, all alive and Democratic, the youngest now about 40, all long-time voters, and interested in public affairs. “Tf there is any sire or family that can equal this record of promulgation of Jefferson principles we will gladly take off our hats to them. “May the memorial fund grow to pro- portions that will permit of the erection of the greatest monument in history.” The Man “Tried and True”’ To be had Surpass-

The guaran- tors, early last month, agreed to con- tinue the yearly guarantee of $100,000.

LET HIS WHISKERS GROW Also. Wore’ English Clothes When He Crossed the Ger- man Frontier.

Fresh -from his journey to Russia, from which country he has been inter- dicted because of his religion, the Rev. Father Urban Stanowski, pastor of St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, told a reporter for’ the Post-Dispatch Mon- Gay how he dodged the vigilance of the Czar’s watchmen. He went to his native land to visit his mother, who lives in Opole, Russian Po- land, near the celebrated Czenstochowa monastery. He makes the trip every two or three years, and always has managed to get safely across the fron- tier. This time, the priest said, he entered across the German frontigr. For several months before he started he allowed his beard to grow. He had it trimmed into neat and unecclesiastieal side-whiskers, wore an English walking suit with a gray felt hat, and carried a gold-headed walking stick. Went in Disguise. With a twinkle in his eyes, the priest said he believed he looked like a suc- cessful middle-aged business man, re- turning from a trade tour to England, and there was nothing about him to sug- gest the exiled priest. He received a shock, however, when he left the train at Ruskieherby, the first Russian post. All the other pas- sengers were apparently of the peasant class, and he was to be singled out from them by his garb. The captain of the police hurried up to him, ex- claiming: “You're just the man I’m for!’’ “IT thought sure,” the priest said, ‘I had been caught at last. Before I could reply the captain asked me my desti- nation. I told him Warsaw. He in- ‘reased my fear by saying: ‘““'Now I know you’re the man I want.’ “T started to fumble in my pockets for my passport but the captain stopped me impatiently, saying he didn’t need to look at it. His son was a cadet in a military school in Warsaw and was re- looking

CLIMATE HURTS WEAK LUNGS In this climate there are always numbers of people whose lungs are weak and who either have a chronic Lcough or else catch cold easily and are very likely to take pneumonia. A New York girl, Miss Louise Jesel, has written a letter on this subject, saying, “In the past year }I have been troubled with weak lungs and palpitation of the heart. Having heard that Vinol was a great strengthener, I began taking it, and it has done me a world of good. “T have no cough now, my heart is all right and I have gained great- ly in strength and energy.” Naturally, ag soon ag her strength had been built up to the right point by Vinol, all symptoms of her fer- mer trouble vanished. This delicious cod liver and iron remedy, without oil, not only creates strength and enriches the blood, but always agrees with the stomach.

turning there after the Christmas holi- days, he explained. He wondered if I would mind looking after the boy on the train. “IT told him, of course, I was delight- ed. The lad, a bright chap in a uni- form that proclaimed his rank, went along with me. Nobody then thought of questioning me or asking for my cre- dentials.”’ Father Stanowski said that the abro- gation of its treaty with Russia by the United States at the instance of Amer- ican Jews had inflamed Jews in Russia against their brethren here. The result has been that all repressive laws af- fecting the Jews in Russia are being enforced stringently by the authorities. Bitter Against Government. The priest is bitter against the Rus- sian Government for its attitude to- wards the Czenstochowa monastery, the oldest Roman Catholic institution In Poland and the only one too powerful to be banished by the decrees of 1863. He says the Government tried to usurp control of the order by installing false priests and abbotts and that these looted the monastery of countless treas- ure. When one of the false priests mur- dered his brother in the convent, after living with the brother’s wife, the con- ditions were exposed.

The estate of Mrs. Mary Duff, who was found dead in a field near her cabin on land belonging to the Missouri Botanical Garden, south of Watson road, Sunday, consists of a few dilapi- dated pieces of furniture, three Bibles, a gold-plated ring, some pocketbooks containing valueless papers, some rag- sed clothing and quilts and two boxes of rifle cartridges. In the cabin were found the bodies of her dog, a cat and 14 decapitated chickens. Each of the chickens was wrapped in a piece of newspaper, while tattered rugs covered the dog and cat. The Public Adminis- trator formally took charge of her be- longings Monday. Mrs. Duff was long regarded as ec- centric. In 1899 she was fined and sent to the workhouse for taking possession of a vacant residence. She refused to work and her case attracted some pub- licity at the time. A year ago she shot a boy in the foot for throwing rocks at her house. She was fined and pa- roled. It is supposed she died of age, ex- posure and insufficient food. The body was found by John Janssen, 3188 Watson road. Apparently the woman had been dead several days.

Circulation Last Sunday 308,204 — “NEW NATIONALISM” DEFINED. The first officially recorded demand for the “New Nationalism” was a demand for Federal license, or incorporation for such combinations as the Standard Oil Co. One of the managers of that company told an investigating committee of Congress that there would be no peace in this country without it. The intention, of course, is to get “trusts” be- yond the reach of State laws, enforcible at times wnen all Federal departments at Washington are under complete control. From the Standard Oil interests, the New Na- tionalism passed to the ».organ interests and thence into presiden:.al messages. In the current issue of a Philade:puwia weekly it is now once more defined by George W. Per- kins, on behalf of the Morgan and Rockefeller “progressives.” Mr. Perkins uses words with |great eloquence, but the “New Nationalism” he defines means that when the Morgan interests and “allied interests’’ are in control at Wash- ington, they wish to be completely secure from interference by State authority or any other au- thority. This we are to understand as the only road open to peace and prosperity. It is to continue a toll road. Of course, those who wish to travel it must pay the price. = = * rw we Delegate Hall calls the free bridge the “enigma of the ages.” Has St. Louis spent $3,500,000 for an enigma? = ens

When it is said that thousands of tons of II- linol# coal beyond ordinary needs are being stored for use in St. Louis factories, the explana- tion. is foresight used by capable business man- agers, anticipating a struggle between mine owners and operatives in the Illinois fields. This is business sense if there is to be a _ strike. Bot when mineowners and operatives use business sense, they manage their own busi- ness including their own business disagreements, c That proves them capable of business management. They ought to have business sense of this kind now. They have had every opportunity to learn it, to learn what it is worth and to learn what the lack of it costs. Probably they have it and ' gre prepared to use it in managing their own “2 business.

Zz n the park should be a pleasure, not a - eagrr - «jes th "2% — intake tunnel should have the immediate atten- tion of the city authorities. This improvement is needed as the alternative to water meters as well as a safeguard against conflagrations. Building Commissioner McKelvey’s’ depart- ment, already under fire for many months, is se- verely criticised. The charges of incompetency against building inspectors are alarming. No measure in fire prevention is more important than a strict enforcement of St. Louis’ excel- lent building code. That the delay to fire apparatus and peril to firemen presented at grade crossings have a prospect of early abolition at a number of espe- cially exposed points is gratifying. There should be a general and vigorous movement against all grade crossings. y-_ = ™ i a 4 The Kalamazoo chambermaid who got $1 re- ward for restoring to their owner $40,000 worth of gems may be pardoned if she permits her faith in human nature to be somewhat shaken. —_—_—_—_—_————————-o +-o- THE NEXT PANAMA JOB. The Society of the Chagres, to which Ameri- cans who have been working on the Panama Canal not less than six vears are eligible, has a membership of about 400. At a recent dinner given by the society, 280 of these men drank to the toast that the United States Government will be able to find something for the organization to do after the canal is completed, and not let it disband. The organization in Panama impresses everyone who goes down there. It is a wonderfully effi- cient body of men, and it has a huge operating plant. Such men as those comprising the go- ciety of the Chagres point out that if the Gov- ernment is going to deepen the Mississippi River and open the great coal fields of Alaska, it ought to avail itself of this great plant and the organi- zation, either of which would be found difficult and expensive to duplicate, once it had fallen into disuse. As the Post-Dispatch has pointed out, this is a growing topic in Panama. Is it to be ignored at home until it is too late to do anything about it?

a, . > — a Mr. Taft says he is looking for a good take Dr. Wiley’s place. Why not keep Dr. a Le La» — a INNOCENT, BUT DEAD. Spain’s highest legal tribunal in session at Mad- rid has reviewed the evidence in the case of Fran- cisco Ferrer, and finds that he was innocent of rioting or inciting to riot, and that there was no testimony to establish the crimes against the Crown of which the lower court convicted him, and for which he was sent to death. The great Spanish publicist is innocent; unfortunately, he i: also dead. Spanish monarchy and intolerance tried him on false charges, convicted him without evidence, and took his life without a shadow of warrant. The execution of Ferrer was ordered by a mil- itary tribunal and the King’s Court, not because he had conspired against the State,’but because the monarchists and their allies feared his teach- ings might open the eyes of the people and en- courage them to self-government. His execution was cold-blooded murder. The Spanish Supreme Court so rules. The decision of the final court in the Ferrer case cannot fail to give a great impetus to the progressive movement in Spain. Within a brief time we shall see the last of the House of Bour- bon-Anjou on the Spanish throne. A — =. SPRINGFIELD’S INCONSISTENCY. Poetic regard for the fitness of things appears in the announcement that this year’s dog license tags in Springfield, Mo., the metropolis of the Ozark region, will be inscribed with the now classic line “You gotta quit kickin’ my dog aroun’.” But the chronicler spoils it all‘in the next sentence, when he relates that “1500 of the tags have been ordered.” Can it be that Springfield, with ite .25,201. inhabitants by the last census, maintains but 1500 dogs? Only one dog to 23 persons in the chief city of that region which claims the dog song as its product—a claim which, until now, the rest of Missouri has cheer- fully acknowledged?

Her against women’s voting.” No doubt her “studies on government” at the university will do more to fit her for voting than all the political news contained in one months’s papers, with all Mr. Roosevelt's speeches combined, We think the lady has her own ideas on “the third term candi- dacy.” Certainly an intelligent voter would not require much time to post up on this matter, If, according to “Plain Talk,” Mrs. Usher is a “woman of unusual ability, of intelligence above the average, has a strong sense of duty toward her fellow-creatures, and another strong sense of- duty towards her immediate family’’—in the name of common sense, what more qualifications would she need to entitle her to a franchise, interview : upset the pet anti-suffragist argument that wom- |, words cannot. be construed as furnishing “a cogent argument '

equal to the “male of the species”’ Does “Plain Talk” know there are thousands of voters who never read a party platform, let alone the “Col- umbus Speech,” can neither read nor write, and they vote just the same. What chance do the la- | boring class of men have to read political news? For instance, the textile mill workers at Law- rence, Mass.? Yet their votes will be eagerly sought, “Plain Talk” has “unwittingly” furnished a number of arguments in favor of woman’s suf- frage. FAIR PLAY. Parents Should Be Kind. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Parents seem to think that just because they are parents, their children belong to them, body, scul, mind and all. Why? When Mr. Lincoln mercifully set the slaves free, he set only half of the real slaves free. The half still in the bonds are the sons and daughters of unthinking par- ents. We are a thinking, reasoning and wonder- ing young people. Ye parents of St. Louis, be kind; do not command, but explain, lest you lose all respect and love from us, your children, ONE OF THE MULTITUDE. Floor Indicators in Elevators. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Every elevator should have an indicator on the inside of the elevator cage giving the number of each floor, which could be worked automatically with a wire running from the first floor to the upper floor and as the elevator passed from one fioor to another. By having a lever which would be tripped at each floor it would turn the num- ber of the floor in front of the cage at the door, showing what floor the cage was at each time the elevator went down. This would cause every- body riding on the elevator to be on the lookout | for the floor which they were seeking, and would. help the elevator operator to make trips in less time. By such a system the door could be locked before moving the elevator and make just as | quick a trip. JAMES H. DOUGHERTY.

Have We Reached the One-Man Stage? To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There is an old-fashioned theory that governors were elected to perform certain well-defined du- ties, Never, until A. D., 1912, was it suspected that one of those duties was the selection of a. enandidate for President for the whole country. | It is inconceivable that the idea of doing so was evolved from the inner consciousness of the seven Governors, for they had plenty to do to attend to! their own business, Who was the one who so sunningly drew their attention to the “only man in sight” big enough —and inconsecutive enough—to undertake’ the job? Whoever he was it is clear the poor man was near-sighted, and had not allowed his vision much to wander from his own fireside. Cassus once, long ago, asked Brutus: “When could they say, till now, that talked of Rome, that her wide walls encompassed but one man?” When any country gets to the one-man stage it is a case for the Coroner, and the seven wise men of the West should have a place on the jury.

In answer to “New Subscriber,” I wish to say that he hasn’t come in contact with the So- cialist party politician.

THE TOLL OF THE From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. It was in 1841 that the steamer Presi- dent left New York with 120 passengers and was never heard of again. Thirteen years later, anothér severe winter, the City of Glasgow, with 480 passencers and crew, left Liverpool for Philadel- phia and passed from human ken. In 1856 the winter gales claimed the Pacific, Westward bound from Liverpool, with 180 persons aboard. In 1870 the City of Boston vanished forever somewhere in the midst of a midwinter storm. These are a few of the tragedies suggested to the old sailors by this winter of gales. Possibly the winter of 1911-12. will not succeed in claiming a particularly noteworthy victim.

One burly and ponderous fel- low looked like a bleached gorilla. Be- hind him skulked a cadaverous and thin person with a pair of phosphorescent eyes and carnelian teeth. “Line up, boys,’ said the warden, beaming from every pore; “line up, =: ey Hned up.

How many leaders of church choirs turn pickpocket or forger? There is moral strength in song. Now, I do to inspire my unfortunate with the moral strength they lack. Let's have another, boys!

He would be a great acquisition. No- ¥y need know where we got him.” “It's often occurred to me," assented the warden, “‘that I might supply a good many churches with choir talent of a high order: But I've always thought what a temptation the contribution box would be to the men, and so I never ' pushed it."’ Assuring the warden that the con- tribution box at St. Zebedee's was sur- rounded with all the safeguards which the timid faith of untrustful trustees could suggest, Lorimer secured the warden's promise that Walters should be sent to him. And so it came about that a few weeks later the fashionable congregation of St. Zebedee's sat up with a start to listen to a new voice in the choir. “He looks as {if he had met with a t sorrow or loss,"’ observed the con- to one day. “He is so pale and unted-like, and there is,a kind of a ing light in his eyes." So the d was born that the wonderful voice had been heard in grand a tragic love had pierced soul behind the voice, showing it the nity of worldly glitter, and the richer Before Walters in the cholr at St. Zebedee’s he was the hero of a whe Tay beso He went on singing trumpe serene! - of it all, and the earning eyes day day. one Sabbath the a ae Bm, Oh had sent for his clothes; he hadn't left any address. Lorimer made sure the contribution of the previous Sunday had reached the treasurer in safety, and then his righteous indignation over the cold ingratitude of man led him to call up the jail. “After all I did for him,” Lorimer told the warden. Warden Shepherd, at the other end of the telephone, hemmed and hawed a few times. ‘‘You don’t miss anything?’’ he asked. “Not a thing.”’ “Silver communion set and the rest of the props all safe?’ “Oh, yes, he hasn't taken anything, or done anything. The only thing that hurts me is the way he left, without a word of warning. I don’t think that was nice.”’ The irate Mr. Lorimer, who had not been mollified in the least by the cool way in which the warden took the news of the basso’s base ingratitude, kept his ear gined to the receiver. Then he started as if stung, for a voice he knew floated across: One sweetly, solemn thought, Comes to me oe’r and oe'r: I’m nearer home today, today, Than I have been before. “Is that you, Walters?’’. shouted Lori- mer with bulging eyes. “Don't you know my voice?’ “But how—why ?’’—— “Same as before—holding up a fellow.” “But, Walters, I’m _ gshocked and grieved.

I felt that I was the lost sheep, ‘away from the tender Shepherd’s care.’ I felt that I had to get back.” “And you committed crime?’’—— “Oh, I came here first and asked him to take me as I was. He would have done it, maybe, but Douglas—the fellow who treats his nose like a meerchaum pipe’’—this in an undertone—‘‘Douglas kicked. So Mr. Shepherd says to me, Jack, we need you here.

Miss Havisham adopted a three-year-old child named Estella for the sole purpose of saving her from her own fate. She taught her to break men’s hearts and to fall in love with no one. One day Miss Havisham’s faded bridal finery caught fire and she was burned to death. ' Honoria ( a character in “Bleak House”), proud, haughty and beautiful, married Sir Leicester Dedlock, a baronet, who was ignorant of her past. She was rather tall, with very carefully arranged dark hair, and with a beau- tiful, stately figure. The title of “Lady” suited her perfectly. It was two years after her marriage that Sir Leicester learned of her unfortunate early history. She fled on the eve of this discovery and died from hunger and ex- posure at the gates of the graveyard where her girlhood lover was buried. ELEANOR SCHORER.

And I'll pay the taxicab driver to take it back to the office.” This being the easiest way out, the note was scribbled, the taxicab driver given a dollar extra, and Mr. Jarr went on his way feeling all would be well.

For instance, among the Bedouins the bride and bridegroom each stands on a big stone, facing each other, in the presence of their tribe, and. recite to each other their vows. After which the bride invariably runs away from her new husband's tent and he has to spend hours in looking for her. Kurds (a people in Asia Minor) have a somewhat similar ceremony; except that the bridegroom stands ankle deep in a river, while the bride stands on the bank.

The wedding ceremony among one Hindoo people consists of the tying of the young couple's thumbs together by a priést. Among the savages in remote parts of “darkest Africa” the bridegroom goes hunting for his sweetheart through the jungle, as though she were a deer or other wild game, and, on finding and capturing her, is allowed to marry her.

By ROBERT EDGREN. A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. (Copyrighted by the Fress Pub. Co.) NEW YORK, March 18.—This will be an important week in ring affairs, in that it will bring together two very ac- tive white hopes. On Wednesday night Carl Morris meets Jim Stewart. Jim Stewart has not been taken seri- ously for a long time as a “hope.’’ He started his fighting career like a cham- pion, became very fast and clever and had a rib-cracking punch. But the hard knockout he found at the end of Jim Barry’s right arm seemed to take away his fighting confidence, and for a cou- ple of years he didn’t do well. Then he stayed out of the game for a while, went lumbering up in the big woods, took off some fat, and very quietly went at his training again. He had a few fights out of town and won them with quick knockouts. After that he came back, trained in Brooklyn for a few weeks and fought Morris. That was one of the fastest l0-round fights between heavyweights I ever saw. Stewart showed amazing clever- ness, plenty of courage and aggressive- ness and confidence, and a punch that would have been a knockout if it had landed on the average heavyweight in- stead of Morris. There was nothing about him to suggest the Stewart who made half a dozen jump-away fights around New York a couple of years ago. As for Morris, he had the supreme con- fidence that is usually the property of a champion. He had speed and a punch and

Following his re- turn, Horgan will continue practicing, as he will next meet John Daly of New York, the first challenger for the title, at the Rex parlors.

Howard is showing the way in the 18.2 baik line tournament at Peterson's. He has won the eight games played. Willis, 6—O, is next in line. Tibbals and Mathey furnish Monday’s game. Hoffman has won five games in as many played in the Business Men's balkline tour- nament at the Grand. Prior and Obert are scheduled to meet Monday. Wilihausen, Schaab and Doerr have clean siates in the Grand'’s three-cushion tour- nament. Kollas and Parsons and Chapman and Bauer are on Monday's schedule. Layton and Lang are tied for first hon- ors in the State championship pool tourna- ment at the Royal. Bach hes won aix games and lost none. Scott and Reidmeyer g09 on Monday night.

MOWREY IS WILLIN’. S MITH, Steinfeldt or Magee will be on the job at third base, if Mike Mowrey does not kick in with a signa- ture to his contract pretty soon, is the word given out at Jackson, Miss. But if Mowrey is not on the job, the mistake will have to be put down to bad handling. The writer knows for a fact that Mowrey is willing to sign at the figures named by the club. All he wants is that a document be forwarded to which he can append his signature. + oJ * QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY NEEDED OGER has an abundance of material for the job, but whether it will amount to anything even the Cardinal manager himself might find it hard to say. Better one known quantity than a score of uncertaintities. * = * TRY THE BUGHOUSE, DUKE, NE thing would justify trading Mowrey—a good pitcher in return for him. But where is the dippy man- ager who is going to let loose a star flinger? He's where you might expect| to find him—in the mixed-signal house, with padding all around him. He's cer- tainly not in baseball. . ? ° WALLACE EASILY PLEASED. ALLACE is highly pleased with the outlook for, his club. He has some cause for smiles and doubtless his club will harry the progress of the main column of the American League much more severely than last year. In certain as to the value of {ts pitching corps. Its best men last year were the old guard, Lake, Powell and Pelty, and if there is no improvement over this condition the club can’t hope to ad- vance very far. If Criger can get a wonder or two out of the squad of Browns, Hawks, Hamiltons and so on, it will be worth quite as much as strength- ening along other lines. Stevens and Krichell need help with the catching. Jimmy has always been just a trifle shy of being a star, and Krichell, though fair, could be better. Kutina is a Possibility, and that’s as far as one can go. J a e IN THE CONSTRUCTIVE STAGE. MOCETHER there are a number of ‘“ifs’’ connected with the Browns. Provided all the kinks of doubt iron out the right way, the team will be ready to make a splurge in 1913. EASY ON THE CIPHERS. It is estimated that 200,000 persons turned out to welcome Featherweight Champion Johnny Kilbane at Cleveland, a news dispatch reveals. They must be dreadfully reckless with those ciphers; over in the Forest City. Say, 2000 for Kilbane and 198,000 for 8t.

| COFFEE PUTS 3 HOSPITAL, 3IN IAL Young Man Is Seriously Stabbed

“in Fight in a Pine Street Restaurant.

Beer served in coffee “ups, the police say, intoxicated persons at the restau- rant of Arthur Stefani, lbw Pine street, and caused a general fight, Sunday night, which sent three men to the city hospital with serious wounds and land- ed two others in the Central District Police Station on a charge of assault to

hospital. McCarty was stabbed in the abdomen and probably fatally wounded, Hensick was stabbed in the back and Grant was struck on the head with a chair. His skull was fractured. Herman Heintz, 24 years oid, *-f 1520 Locust street, the police say, ‘iid the stabbing, and James Persinger, 25, of 197 South Sixteenth street, used the chair as a weapon. ls The police allege the fight was the re- sult of overindulgence in Stefani’s ‘‘cof- fee.” Heintz admitted using a knife but told the police, they say, ne did not think he had cut anyone. Stefani on Nov. 12 was chargeid with running a “Blind Tiger."”” He admitted in Judge Miller’s division of the Court of Criminal Correction that he had served beer but insist(e4 that it was only with meals, and tnat he did not know he had violated the law. IIe had never be- fore been in trouble and was let off

Though Severely Injured He Ex- tracts Pointed Steel and Calls for Aid. William Burns, 21 years old, a busboy employed at Duffy's restaurant, 704 Pine street, was seriously wounded at 4 a. m. Monday when the spike of an ice pick, which he was carrying in his right hip pecket, was driven into his back as he slipped in descending from a plat- form. The spike penetrated the body three inches or more. He pulled it out and called another busboy, who was werk- ing with him in the basement. Other employes of the place carried him up- stairs and the police called an ambu- lance. He will recover, the physicians say.

Holds New Plant Is Necessary. In any case it will be only a few years before a new water plant must be built, the commissioner states. A new plant, he estimates, would cost about $10,000,- 000, and would guarantee the supply for about 30 years. It would take 10 years to complete the new plant, though parts of it could be used much sooner. The report of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, made public Satur- day, recommends the installation of me- ters as a temporary measure. The sug- gestion is made by the board, composed of experts, which made a survey of St. Louis, that a certain number of meters could be installed annually until the en- tire city is metered in five years. The meter system is opposed by many individuals and business interests, on the ground that it will lead to a largely decreased use of water and unsanitary conditions. The present waterworks plant was completed in 189%. Its capacity varies according to the stage of the river and the amount of sediment and of ice. Un- der the worst conditions it is 100,000,000 gallons a day. Under the best condi- tions it is 140,000,000 gallons dally. The plant must be able to supply the maximum demand for water under all conditions, according to Wall. The min- imum capacity must be greater than the maximum demand to be safe, he de- clared. The general anxiety felt a few weeks ago over the water supply is an illustration of this necessity. ) The average daily consumption of wa-

previous year. In five years, if the increase continues, the average daily consumption would be 116,000,000 gallons, 16,000,000 more than the present ca- pacity under bad conditions. Wants Basins on High Ridge. Wall said the new plant should be built on the Missouri River, and the settling basins should be placed on a high ridge in St. Louis County. This, he said would provide the necessary pressure and avoid pumping the water twice. The Chain of Rocks plant is getting further and further away from the places where water is consumed, through the building up of the southern part of the city. Also, if all the con- duits and pipes have the same location running south along the river front, an accident that would destroy the pipes would destroy the entire system. Extensive improvements are being made this year to temporarily enlarge the present plant. The weak link in the present system is the Hmited cap- ecity of the intake. This can be in- creased only by building a new intake tower and tunnel. A suitable location for a new intake is being sought, and a new tower and tunnel is planned at a cost Of $000,000. It will take about two years to build it and place it in service. A bill is pending in the Municipal As- sembly to authorize the remodeling of the system of settling basins at a cost of $75,000, increasing the capacity 20 per cent. The pumping capacity at the Chain of Rocks will be increased 2% per cent this summer. The capacity of the high service station will be increased 20,000,- 000 gallons a day in the coming year. }? This will be about the limit of increas- | | ing the capacity of the present plant, ac- cordiing to Wall. Wall expects to have surveyors at work this summer in the Missouri River seeking a location for a new plant. If a decision is reached by the people to vote for a bond issue to build a new waterworks, Wall expects to have fig- ures at hand on which to give correct AS New Spring or Easter Sui t) Should be chosen from our majestic lines, if you want to secure the very best possible value ob- tainable in St. Louis or the West.

ance—even if his clothes are the latest and best.” The Gillette razor has been the big factor in making frequent “ shaving popular. | | The Gillette is so easy, so quick and so convenient.
