o_-_-—— TAFT MEN BOLT IN 14TH DISTRICT CONVENTICN WAR Chairmen of Two Factions Try to Preside Over Gathering in Poplar Bluff.

MEETING IN AN UPROAR Roosevelt Men Hold Their Ground and Name Delegates Favorable to Rough Rider. ——Eee

Special to the Post-Dispatch. POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., March 19.— After an hour of riot and uproar, Taft supporters withdrew from the Four- teenth Congressional District convention here today, leaving the Roosevelt ad- herents in victorious possession of the theater. Roosevelt men were in a mafority, and could have controlled the situation by force of numbers, and they declare the action of the Taft delegates in hold- ing a rump convention is so rank an at- tempt to defeat the will of the people that no Credeutials Committee will dare upheld them, When the Roosevelt convention. re- convened at 1 p. m. 112 delegates were in attendance Five of the Cape Gi- rardeau delegation returned and partici- pated, holding strictly to their instruc- tions for Taft, casting the full count of 23 votes for Regenhardat and Sullivan as delegates to the national convention. They xracefully yielded when they had done their full duty and were outnum- bered Resolutions indorsing Roosevelt as the greatest living American statesman and the world’s greatest citizen were passed vnanimouslyY. The constructive states- manship of Taft and the administration of Hadley were lauded. In a tremendous commotion with men shouting, two secretaries reading the jofficial call and two chairmen trying \to preserve order, the double convention /began. The Roosevelt mien claimed to _ have 112 delegates, not officially recog- ‘nized as-yet by the Credentials Commit- tee, and to have held the regular con- vention. It was by clever political maneuver- ing that the Roosevelt clan obtained control of the Congressional Committee. The members got together at 9 o'clock this morning. They constitiited a quo- rum, and Chairman Guffy having re- fused to call the committee together, they reorganized the committee, elect- ing Fred Kies chairman and Luther Conrad secretary. The new committee immediately named M. E. Morrow as chairman of the forthcoming conven- tion and M. Q. Tanner as secretary. The Taft folks had been outgeneraled in this move, the Roosevelt forces cau- cusing throughout the night. At 10 o'clock an enormous crowd was gath- ered at the opera house awaiting the opening of the doors. When these were swung wide there was a rush for seats. Former Chairman Guffy and Chair- man Kies, the latter elected an hour be- fore, were on the stage, and both be- gan rapping to call the convention to order. Secretary Naeter, on the Taft side, read the official call, and Secretary Con- rad was doing the same thing on the other side. Both conventions seated side by side continued to transact busai- ness amid a hubbub that was furious, spectators became excited and joined in the din. Taft Crowd Picks Committee. There was cheering and shouting. The Taft crowd selected its committees on organization, credentials and resolutions. Guffy was made chairman and Naeter secretary. All the Taft delegations were seated by the Credentials Committee. The claim was made by § Secretary Neeter that 89 accredited delegates were counted, With a tumult surrounding him, the '\eecretary read a resolution indorsing } ‘aft for the presidential nomination and Jtto F. Stifel of St. Louis for nationai .ommitteeman. The Taft peowe then erose in a body and bolted the meeting. eatteritng into groups and discussing situation outside the theater. The Roosevelt men remained. Secre- ry Conrad asserted that there were ‘dele ates in the convention, and the redentials of delegates would be passed o” at 1 o'clock by the committee. Five celegates from Cape ‘Girardeau boited their delegation and remained with the Roosevelt meeting, it was al- lewed. It was decided pefore the nather- ing that the Oregon delegates should be held up pending a hearing by the com- mittee, but the Christian and@ New Madrid delegations were permitted te remain and participate In the meeting up to the time of a recess, Which was taken at 10:4 o'clock. Jesse A. Tolerton of Taney County presented a motion, that a recess be taken and that the various committees meet in different rooms at hotels xt different hours, the convention to re- ‘convene at 1 o'clock at the theater. He prescribed that no member of the Christian or New Madrid County dele- gations be allowed to sit with the Cre- dentials Committee until after the case of each had been passed yey formally.

Davis Wants to Bar Auto At- tachments From Parks. The use of skid chains on automo- biles may be prohibited in St. Louis parks next winter. It will cost the city several hundred dollars to repair the damage done to park highways by the autos: equipped with chains in the last few months. Chains are not allowed to be used in the parks of many cities because they are destructive to the oiled roads in freezing weather. Park Commissioner Davis is planning to introduce an ordi- nance in the Municipal Assembly pro- hibiting autos with chains entering any of the city parks.

LOOMIS JOHNSON HAS A FIGHT WITH CLIENT'S HUSBAND

Lawyer Says Joseph P. Good- win Called Him Rascal and Struck at Him. QUARREL IN COURTHOUSE Bystanders Separate Them— Mrs. Goodwin Seeking to Divorce Merchant. a eal Loomis C. Johnson, an attorney, and Joseph P. Goodwin, president of the Goodwin Specialty Co., 119 Locust street, came to blows outside Judge Shields’ court Tuesday. Bystanders separated them after the lawyer had struck Good- win twice. Johnson is attorney for Mrs. Goodwin, who is suing for divorce. The case, which was begun several weeks ago, was to have come up again Tuesday. The hearing was continued, however, to some day in April, to be agreed upon. Johnson’s Story. Johnson’s story of the encounter was that as he left the courtroom Goodwin called him a rascal; that as he ad- vanced Goodwin struck at him and missed, and that he hit Goodwin in the face. Goodwin reeled backward against a wall and before he could regain his poise several persons ran in between the two. Goodwin left the courthouse with- out giving his version of the affair. A negro janitor was passing along the corridor when the struggle started. As the two men began struggling, he dropped his mops and bucket in amaze- ment. Then he jumped in between the two men, and was able to hold them apart until others came to assist him. ‘Whew!’ the janitor exclaimed, mop- ping the perspiration from his face. “They sho’ was goin’ some, them two gent’emen! I knowed the big one was Mr. Johnson. I jumped between ‘em be- cause I didn’t want to see nobody git hurt.’’ Wife Not im City. — Mrs. Goodwin is not-in the city, ac- cording to her lawyer. She charges that her husband is improvident, that he Jost her money in business, and that he bought articles and had them charged to her personal account. They were married June 18, 1890, and separated June 23, 1910. NEEDLE IN CHILD’S BACK FOUR WEEKS Little Girl Did Not Feel Any Pain for Month—Surgeon Removes It. A needle that had been imbedded in the back of Margaret Diasuzzi, 8-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Diasuzzi, 317 Clark avenue, for four weeks, was taken out Tuesday at the city hospital. The child was not aware when the needle was driven into her back and did not know of its presence until it began paining, Monday. Mrs. Diasuzzi was ill four weeks ago and the child had to dress herself. A pin was needed and the child could not find one, but brought a needle to her mother instead, and this was used on the dress. It is supposed that in leaning back suddenly at her desk at the Madison School the child drove the needle into her back. An X-ray exam- ination at the hospital revealed that it had been driven into the fleshy part of the back its full length and had en- tered by the head instead of by the point. COURTS TO MOVE APRIL 1

Only the jail will remain in the old Four Courts Building after April 1. It has been officially announced that on that date the three criminal divisions of the Circuit Court and Judge Miller’s branch of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection will move to the new Municipal Courts Building at Thirteenth and Market streets.

CHICAGO, March 19.—A_ “polite- ness car” ts the newest innovation of the Northwestern Elevated Railway. The car first apeared last night and startled many passengers between the downtown district and Evanston. Along the aisle on either side ig a line of enameled posts, from floor to ceiling. Each passenger is wedged in between two of these uprights. This leaves no chance for @ passenger to be jostied against his neighbor, whether standing or sitting. Officials of the road say the new arrangement will encourage polite- ness among passengers. The uprights are also expected to be a relief to the og 0 ante, om iy WIFE

Face Best Evidence of Her Character, Says Judge Grimm Cutting Short Tes- timony—Case Not Con- tested by Ex-Congress- man,

Mrs. Tuesday Lida Bevis Coudrey testified in her divorce suit that her husband, M. former Congressman and insurance promoter, owes her more than $40,000, represented by notes she signed as collateral for loans with which he tried to float vari- ous enterprises. Judge Grimm gave her a divorce and restored her maiden name, Bevis. Coudrey did not contest the suit. Mrs. Coudrey, a pretty, dark-haired woman, was dressed in a neat blue tai- lored suit and wore a colored straw hat with a black plume. Tears frequently stopped her testimony as she told that Coudrey had failed to support her and had induced her to sign notes he never had made good. Says Bank Holds Notes. Part of the money, she said, was sunk in the Continental and International twin insurance companies, in connec- tion with the promotion of which Couéd- rey and Harry B. Gardner will be called to trial next month in the Fed- eral Court. The rest is represented by rotes held by’ the National Bank of Commerce. She testified that, through the bank’s courtesy in extending the time, she had been able to make pay- ments on the notes, but that her hus- band never had offered to help her. Mrs. Coudrey testified she was mar- ried to Coudrey, who then was a widow- er, Feb. 10, 1908, in Cincinnati. She gave the date. of the separation as July 30, 1910, and said the last time she saw Coudrey was Sept. 27 of that year. Coudrey then was representing the Twelfth Missouri District in Congress and she returned to Washington after spending several weeks with her sister. Mrs. Florence Longstreth, at Bass Is- land, Mass. Although she had telegraphed in ad- vance that she and Mrs. Longstreth were coming, Cvcudrey, she gaid, did not meet them at the station. Failing to find him at his apartments, they went to a hotel, she testified, and there he called them by telephone at 1 a. m.. making a dinner engagement which he failed to keep. Mrs. Longstretch and Mrs. G. Lacy Crawford, another sister. were witnesses for Mrs. Coudrey. E. L. Preetorius was a character witness for her. When it was suggested that other character wit- nesses be introduced, the Judge said: “Mrs. Coudrey's face is the best evi- dence of her character.’’ He then asked if she wanted alim my. Her attorney replied that she did not. as Coudrey’s resources were supposed to be virtually exhausted. “That is true,’’ said the Judge, “but he may be bankrupt today and worth a whole lot of money in the future.” She declined, however, to make any request for alimony. Mre. Coudrey now is at the Washing- ton Hotel where Mrs. Longstreth also resides. Mrs. Coudrey’s suit was tried tn the same courtroom where, in March, 1906, Judge Hough gave her a divorce from Frank Roth. Harry Coudrey,

Archbishop Glennon stated Tuesday that he would not accept the invitation of the National Congress of Mothers to pronounce an invocation at its conven- tion, which begins a five-days session In St. Louis Wednesday. The invitation was declined, he said, “with good graces and best wishes.”’ It was extended by Mrs. Frederic Schoff of Philadelphia, president of the gress. The declination was a surprise to some of the St. Louis members, par- ticularly to Mrs. Frank de Garmo of 6196 Washington avenue, temporary organ- izger for Missouri. Has Paid His Dues, “Archbishop Glennon has paid his dues as an associate member of the Con- gress,” said Mrs. de Garmo, “and has written us a letter commendatory of our work. Our organization has the ap- proval of Cardinal Gibbons and of Arch- bishop Blenk of New Orleans. “Mrs. H. McPherson Lyles and I vis- ited the Archbishop recently at his resi- dence and outlined the principles of our work, and he spoke In a commendatory way, and pulled out his purse and paid dues as an associate member. Later he replied in words of cordial indorsement to an invitation to speak at a banquet to be given in connection with the Con- gress.” con- Congress Condemned. Archbishop Glennon would not explain iis action, beyond saying that he never gave hie indorsement to an organization unless he gave it in writing. In the latest issue of the Western Watchman, the editor, the Rev. PD. 8. Fhelan, condenmed the Mothers’ Con- gress for proposing, as he said, to teach children physical facts which. he de- clared, they should not learn.

After being held prisoner for a week by snowdrifts on a Kansas prairie, Charles Gerber and his wife, of 3759 Finney avenue, enjoyed the bright St. Louis sunshine Tuesday and told of their dis- comforts of last week and the sufferings of 300 others on a snowbound and sparse- ly provisioned train. Three other St. Louisans, Mrs. Lilian Seeger of 2825 Fair avenue, Carl Bowman of #62 Lindell boulevard and Earl P. Chittenden of Webster Groves, were passengers on the same train. The Gerbers make an annual midwinter visit to California. They went there the first week ix January, this year, and left Sacramento on the return trip the afternoon of Thursday, March 7, eccupying a Puliman drawing room on the Union Pacific “Overland Limited” train. Friends decorated their drawing room with flowers. They went through without much delay to Denver, arriving there at noon Saturday. The train leaving Denver consisted of six Pull- man palace and tourist sleepers and six chair cars and day coaches, 12 cars in all. Drifts as High as Engine. Late Saturday night the train, after many delays, reached Oakley, Kan. There the drifts were piled as high as the locomotive, and the engineer an- nounced the train would get no farther that night. Sunday, March 10, was a day of late rising and of much asking of questions. The car was wel) heated, and the pro- visions sufficed, such as they were, so that few of the passengers ventured from the train. Nine of the Pullman passengers proved to be members of a vaudeville troupe, on their way to Kan- eas City, and an entertainment which they gave Sunday night helped to cheer their fellow travelers. One of the vaudeville troupe was Mrs. Seeger of St. Louis, clarinet so- loist. Monday the stalled tourists awoke to find the snow whirling and piling up still higher about them. Also, they confronted a shortage in water and pro- visions. The dining car steward made a raid on the express car, getting sev- eral chickens and some other articles of food, which were confiscated on the plea of necessity. At the same time, it was announced that only two meals a day would be served—breakfast at 8 a. m. and dinner at 4 p. m. To divert their minds from their own discomforts, the Gerbers and other pas- sengers visited the cars ahead, where the passengers were suffering from lack(of food and were lying in cramped posi- tions on the chairs and day-coach seats. Several mothers with infants engaged the women’s attention, and these first were provided with food. One Man Wires te Taft.

not only to the president of the Union Pacific, but to President Taft, demand- ing relief. One young man in a forward coach, became ill, and a physician de- clared his symptoms to be those of pneumonia. He was placed in a berth, and cared for as best could be done. An elderly man suffered an attack of nerv- ous prostration. But most of the passengers kept up their spirits, and fruternized with the people of Oakley, who were cut off from the world, and who, while they wished to be hospitable, were worried by prospects of a famine of their own, hence had little fo00d to give the passengers. Another train with well-stocked diner, came up. be- hind, but the steward refused to feed any but his own passengers, The water gave out, and passengers began eating snow. On physicians’ ad- vice, they soon took to melting it be- fore swallowing. Wednesday and Thurs- day the drifts grew higher, and the provisions sank lower, Thursday night the vaudeville people gave a dance and entertainment in the town hall, and it snowed so hard during the performance that the passengers hardly could get back to the track. One drift was as high as a nearby telegraph pole. Snowballs Poker Chips. The supply of clean towels was ex- hausted Wednesday, and Thursday soiled bedsheets were used for wiping faces and hands. Poker games were carried on in the Pullman = smoking rooms, with snowballs for chips. “Thursday night,’’ Mrs. Gerber de- clared, ‘‘the wind blowed 70 miles an hour, and the Pullman car rocked like a cradle. Few of us slept, for we thought the train would certainly go over with the next gust. Friday we heard that a rotary snow plow was on the way. At 6 p. m. Friday it reached us, and there were shouts of joy as the big machine appeared through the walls of white on each side of the track. We got away at 11:40 a. m. Saturday.”

man of the Butler County Committee, W. H. Kershner, who is a Taft man. Fear that the delegation would ve locked out of the place was expressed, but Toberton dared the Taft followers to do it in the face of a regularly con- stituted committee and what he pro- claimed a regularly called convention. A majority did not believe that Taft men would resort to any such methods and the motion was carried, the severa! committees retiring to transact their work, Officers and delegates of the Roosevelt convention declared that their conven- tion was regular. They insist that the Taft folks bolted and that the Taft meeting has no official standing. Report has it that the Roosevelt man- agers spent all of their time working on committeemen, while the Taft men put in all their labor on the delegates. Control of committee put the regular convention in the hands of Roosevelt supporters, it is said. The Taft party elected George L. Greene of Naylor, and Byrd Duncan of Poplar Bluff. as delegates to the Na- tional Convention, and W. J. Webb of Parma and J. N. Lowe of Charleston as alternates. W. P. Sullivan of Billings was named as elector. The Roosevelt convention elected as delegates Sam Ulen of Dexter and John C, Harlan of Gainesville and as alter- nates A. J. Smith of Campbell] and J. C..8t. John of Sparta. John C. Hayes of Crane was chogen elector. It has developed that tickets were is- sued, signed by Chairman Guffy, to ad- mit delegates to the convention. An ef- fort was made to bar all who did not have passes, and for a time, there was imminent danger of bloodshed at the door.

HOT SELF WIR OUTH'SREVOLVER George Mossberger’s Defense to Charge of Killing Steska Outlined to Jury. ae aac n none nts Ne George Mossberger’s defense to the charge of killing Joseph Steska in a sa- loon seuffle New Year's morning, will be that Steska accidentally shot himself with Mossberger’s revolver. This de- fense was outlined in Judge Rassijeur’s court Tuesday by Attorney William E. Fish to the jury which is trying Moss- berger, a slender youth of 18, on the charge of murder in the second degree. Anna Tesser, 18 years old, whose en- gazement to marry Mossberger was an- nounced a few hours before the tragedy, and which was said to be the result of a leap year proposal, was not in court. During the first few days of Mossber- ger’s imprisonment, she frequently car- ried food and fruit to him. State’s Outline of Case. The fatal shooting of Steska occurred in a saloon at Tenth and Carroll streets. Assistant Circuit Attorney Shaner, in outlining the State’s case to the jury, said Steska playfully slapped Mossber- ger, and that Mossberger hurried home, got his father’s revolver, returned, de- manded an apology, and when Steska grappled with him, shot Steska in the abdomen. Fish presented an entirely different view of the affair. He said it would be proven by policemen and others that Steska, who weighed 200 pounds, and was nearly six feet tall, was the neigh- borhood bully. Mossberger, weighing only 125, was no match, Fish said, for Steska, who had a habit of picking on those smaller than himself, and was a general] trouble seeker. ‘‘Mossberger, it will be shown, was a youth of good character,’’ said the lawyer. “He was not of legal age, and should not have been permitted to stay in the saloon. Perhaps it will develop who was responsible for serving him beer, Wouldn’t Take Off Hat. “While he sat at a table drinking, this bully Steska entered. ‘Kid,’ he said to Mossberger, ‘you got to take off your hat to me.’ ‘I’m an American citi- zen,’ said Mossberger, ‘and I don’t take off my hat to you or anybody.’ “With that, Steska knocked his hat off, and knocked him to the floor. The Loy pulled off his coat to fight Steska, then grew frightened, and ran out. He wanted to go back for his coat and hat, but anticipated more abuse. So he went home and got his father’s revolver, ex- pecting to keep Steska at a distance by holding it in his hand, ‘“‘When he returned, holding the revol- ver, though not pointing it at Steska, he demanded an apology from Steska. Steska grabbed the revolver, and ac- cidentally discharged it, wounding him- self in the abdomen. Mossberger did not have his finger on the trigger at any time.”

SHERIFF MOBBED FOR RILLING YOUTH DRIVING CONVICTS Troops Save Nebraska Offi- cial When He Is Threat- ened by Friends of Young Bridegroom, Who Was Forced by Fugitives to Take Them Away.

2 CONVICTS DEAD, THIRD A PRISONER

- One Slayer Is Killed by Posse in Fight Near Omaha, An- other Ends His Life and the Other Surrenders When Hope Is Gone. i iad Special to the Post-Dispatch, OMAHA, Neb., March 19.~Following the dramatic killing of Roy Blunt, an innocent young farmer, and two of the three escaped convicts of the Lincojn in a fight on the plains yesterday afternoon, there more stirring cli- penitentiary near here came at night a far max. Sheriff Hyer, lieved, shot Blunt he, power- less to resist, was driving the three men, who had murdered a trio of penitentiary officials Thursday, was mobbed by Blunt’s friends here. The in- flamed crowd wanted to lynch the Sher- iff, but a company of militia raced him to a train which took him out of town. Blunt's friends declare the killing was inexcusable. He had the convicts’ guns at his back and their demand was that he aid them in their flight. The posse’s fire was directed all about him. He had no chance for his life. The only mem- ber of the party of four which occupied the speeding wagon to escape death was the convict Charles Morley. He threw up his hands when the bullets brought down is confederates, John Dowd and John Taylor, and the blameless youth. The slaying of Blunt—he was 22 and had been married only two months—was a tragic finish to the Blunt family’s day. The convicts, who murdered Warden Delahunty, Deputy Warden Wagner and Usher Heilman, in escaping from the penitentiary, went to the home of James Blunt and his family at Meadow, 10 miles from here, Monday morning. Made Farmer Feed Them, Just as they had done at every other farmhouse passed in’ their flight, the men forced Blunt to get them break- fast. The farmer, who had heard of the actions of the convicts in cutting telephone wires and forcing their stray hosts to give them food and lodging, readily agreed. The presence the crowd be- as who, of the criminals at Meadow was learned by a telephone operator at Gretna, four miles from Omaha. She flashed the alarm to Lin- coln and to Omaha, and the two posses, one headed by Sheriff Hyer and the other by Sheriff Chase, raced out in wagons toward Meadow. Finishing breakfast the convicts or- dered Roy Blunt to hitch up a wagon and drive them to Omaha, where they hoped to find helpful friends. Blunt obeyed speedily, and In a few minutes the men were on their way across the plains. The weather was bitter; a heavy coat of snow lay on the ground. The pace that Blunt struck was not swift enough for his anxious passengers, and they constantly pressed their shotguns and pistols—an arscenal augmented by their raid on a hardware store—against his back. Four miles out from the Blunt farm the fugitives saw a body of men ap- proaching. It was a third posse, head- ed by Police Chief Briggs of South Omaha. Dowd, Taylor and Morley, who were sitting in the wagon back of the seat, then lay down, and, resting their shot- guns against Blunt's back, commanded him to drive faster. The oncoming posse drew nearer from the right. The farm horses, unusued to such a atiff gait, began to lag; imme- diately three guns were thrust firmly against the young driver’s back and with the movement went a chorused threat. Police Chief Whips Horses. Blunt swung his lash and the horses charged forward. For a moment the approaching posse lost ground. Chief Briggs’ driver threw down his reins and refused to go any further. The police officer seized the lines and whipped the horses into a gallop. To the pursuers Blunt was the only man in the wagon to be seen. Coming closer, Briggs saw the three guns raised at the farmer’s back. Racing on a triangle, the distance between the two parties lessened at every gallop. The convicts, with absolutely nothing to hope for in the event of captura, began jam- ming their gun barrels into the fren- zied boy’s back and crying a threat to shoot him were he to relax for a mo- ment in his whipping of the horses. Unnoticed at first, the posse in charge of Sheriff Hyer suddenly drew upon the wagon from the other side. It had come rapidly, and almost simultaneously did the two attacking parties get to the same distance from the speeding farm Wagnn.

posses closed up the space between themselves and the fleeing convicts to within 100 yards. Then the firing began. The pursuers were equipped with ri- fles; the convicts with shotguns and re- volvers. The fire of the fighters on the posse was ineffectual. More often than they shot did they use their weapons to dig into the back of the white-faced youth, his brow bedewed with the per- spiration of fear. The rifle bullets were striking nearer every moment. The side of the wagon was splintered with every shot, and bits of wood were flying around Roy Blunt's exposed form. The whistling torrent of lead gave its first fatal bullet to the youth. He crumpled on the seat, and rolled to the ground. It left the fleeing men without a dri- ver, and it slackened their progress. Taylor raised himself jugt a trifle to see if the youth had fallen. An acurate- ty sent bullet caught him in the head, and he sank down amid his companions, dead. One Convict Kills Himself. Convict Dowd was without hope now. The men of the posse were shooting straight. He raised his pistol and pressed it to his own head. Morley dashed it back. Another volley of bullets cleft the side of the wagon. The horses scarcely were walking, fatigued by their hard run. Dowd waited for Morley to turn his head, and then he killed him- self. Dowd's suicide left Morley alone, but not hopeless. He fired six shots, but not one of them struck its mark.

TEXAS HAS NEW VERSION OF SONG ABOUT HUUN DOG It Was Native Born and Followed Cowboys to Town Ready for Scrap.

AUSTIN, cow boy Tex., March 19.—The Texas version of the Missouri houn’ dog song is different from that which comes out of the Ozarks. It is said that the lop-eared hound which is found in the ranch territory of this State is of a sterner breed than that of Missouri and that the animal fearlessly follows its Cowboy master into town, ever ready for a scrap. The houn’ dog song of the Texas ranches seeks to portray the cow- boy estimate of his canine companion. The lyric follows: When I ride in from the Lazy Z Ol’ Jim-dog trots along with me; It makes no difference if he is a houn’, You bet the town boys don’t kick him aroun’, One day a tenderfoot come to the door Of old Sam Patterson’s general store, An’ when he saw my lop-eared houn' He made a-start to kick him aroun’. [I jus’ lit in and smoked him up, While Jim-dog chawed on the onery puDp; "Til the tenderfoot had to be made a- new, When me and my ol’ houn’ got through, Every time I come to town I bring along ol’ Jim-dog houn’; He trots alonge by my cayuse An’ mixes in when hell brehkks loose.

STILLS RAIDED Women in Hillsville Afraid to Go Outdoors and Men Grasp Pistols at Night. ILLICIT

Associated Press. Va.. March 19.—Cor- the most adaptable be- for a long and search of the and adjoining By HILLSVILLE, dons of troops, ing cavalry, equipped systematic siege and mountains of Carroll counties, seem today to be the only practicable method. by which the out- law Allen clansmen can be captured. It is reported Detective Felts has gone to Washington to ask for Federal cav- alrymen for the search for the Allens. This is made possible, it is said, by the finding of three illicit stills in the Allen homes. Reports from Mount Airy, N. C., re- ceived here late today, left serious doubt as to whether the outlaws had been sur- rounded at Squirrel’s Spur, as had been reported. Detectives have searched the roads and houses in this section within a radius of 15 miles and have been un- able to find any clew to the hiding places of the fugitives. Without facilities for camping, the posse has not dared to spend a night in the mountains anywhere near the sum- mit of the Blue Ridge, whgre the «l- lens are believed to be hiding. “Moonshine Whisky Found. Four members of the posse who ac- companied Deputy Field Agent Steve Faddis of the Revenue Service to Floyd Allen’s home to confiscate illicit stills and other paraphernalia, returned here today. They brought with them four out- fits, consisting of kettles and worms, and also had about 60 gallons of moon- shine whisky. Great quantities of the illicit whisky were poured out on the mountain side. Two stills were found at Sidna Edwards’ house. The para- phernalia was brought to the courthouse here to be held as evidence. Hillisville has almost regained its com- posure, but women are still afraid to go out doors. When the shadows begin to lengthen, men’s hands instinctively go back to their hip pockets. There are few men who do not believe the Allens will make good their threat to kill At- torney Tomkins, Clerk Goad, Sheriff Edwards and James Early. Confident that they had found the out- laws, the detectives stretched a cordon last night and guarded every approach vigilantly as they waited for a survey of the surroundings by daylight before undertaking to close in. Meantime, a messenger had been sent to Mount Airy, 12 miles away, calling for volunteers to aid in storming the position of the fu- gitives. Posse Nearly Catches Man, Interest shifted from the Devil’s Den vicinity to Squirrel’s Spur late yester- day, when a large posse which had been searching the mountains on the North Carolina side barely missed catching Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the older Allen, at his cabin eight miles east of Sidna Allen's home. Edwards escaped through a back door. His sister told the officers that Sidra Allen, suffering from a severe wound, had been at the cabin Sunday and had told Wesley to meet him at Squirrel’s Spur last night. Taking Edwards’ trail, the posse fol- lowed him to the rendezvous, arriving near the foot of the cliff about 10 o’clock. Not daring to do more tn the darkness, the detectives placed them- selves to prevent the possibility of an escape. That the bandits who Killed five per- sons in the courthouse here last Thurs- day have eluded the detectives and are now making their way to Wilkes Coun- ty, N. C., and there will hide themselves among friendly moonshiners, is the opin- ion of Legrand Feltz, whe rsturned this morning from a 22-hour search in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Southern Car- ro}] County with a) part of his posse. Gov. Mann has increased the reward to $4000 for the outlaws, dead or alive, and sent their full descriptions to every store, postoffice and crossroads for miles around. The State authorities continue to pile rifies and ammunition into the troubled country. Two shipments of rifles and bullets were made from Roanoke today. They will be unloaded at Galax and brought here in waigons. The posses are well armed with State militia equipment. Had Long Start on Posse. four Allens had a long start on the It is beliewed by Feltz that the their way in the dark along the base of the Blue Ridge to Wilkes County—the most notorious moonshining section in North Carolina and one of the best hiding places for fugitives along the mountains. “If they reach Wilkes County and hide themselves in the mountains with friendly moonshiners to feed and shield them it may be a year before they are said Feltz. Wesley Edwards, it is said, before the tragedy, visited every home for miles around, and asked for photographs of himself. Apparently he did not want to leave any — behind.

CHURCHILL SPEECH A TOPIC

Address Considered I1l-Advised, in View of State of Unrest in Europe.

, Associated Pre . BERL IN, March. ‘19.—Emperor William most unexpectedly postponed his de- parture for Vienna. Venice and Corfu, which was scheduled for March 22. The announcement, made this morning, caused surprise. The reason officially assigned for the postponement is “‘dif- ficulties in the sphere of internal poli- tics.” This explanation was so indefinite that it might have referred either to the coal strike, or as was more probable, to the conflict now going onin connection with the provision of finances to cover the in- creases in the army and navy recently decided upon, and which caused the res- ignation of Adolf Wermuth, formerly Secretary of the Imperial Treasury. Misgivings aroused by the announce- ment of the change in the Emperor's Plans were ‘quickly allayed this after- noon by another notification issued by the office of the courtmartial, which states that the old arrangements for the .Emperor’s departure on Friday will now be carried out. The Emperor after visiting Admiral von Tirpitz with the ostensible object of offering him congratulations on his birthday anniversary, which occurs to- day, conferred with Dr. von Buthmann- Hollweg, the Imperial Chancellor, for three-quarters of an hour. The German Empress leaves for Bad Nauheim April 9 to undergo an eight weeks’ cure. ‘Talks to Navy Chief. There was strong disposition here, how- ever, to connect the Emperor's action with the speech delivered yesterday by Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord -of the Admiralty, in the British House of Commons. This view is strength- ened by the fact that the Emperor, in the course of the morning, paid a long visit to Admiral Albert T. Von Tirpitz, Secretary of the Imperial Navy, imme- diately after which leading officers of the admiralty staff assembled in con- ference, the object of which is not dis- closed. Churchill Speeeh Criticized, Public opinion of the speech of Win- ston Spencer Churchill hag not yet crys- tallized, but his references to Germany are regarded in many quarters as highly inopportune, in view of the attempts be- ing made to reach an understanding be- tween the two countries. The negotiations which followed on the trip to Berlin of Viscount Haldane, British Secretary of State for War, are being continued, but any big hopes fof their success which may have been entertained are gradually failing. The negotiators would now be satisfied in all probability ir they could achieve no more than a simple removal of the sources of misunderstanding which have hitherto existed.

A Trial Package Free. Many a sufferer from Dyspepsia, Indigestion and kindred ailments of the digestive organs carries around an absolutely useless stomach —a dead load, and a cesspool of ever- increasing disorders. The muscles are seemingly worn out, the mucous lining has lost its secretive power, and food taken into the stomach lies there and ferments, causing sour eructations, belching, heartburn, dizziness and other distressing con- ditions. Many sufferers have given up in despair until they have been induced by some interested friend to try a box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are the dyspeptic’s hope. They are a nat- ural restorative of healthy action to the stomach and smal: Intestines, because they supply the elements that the weak stomach lacks—pep- sin, golden seal and other digestives. If you are afflicted with any of the symptoms above described be assured that your digestive organs are losing power—they need help and there is no more gensible help to be given them than to supply elements which will do the work of digestion for the:n. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been found by test to have digestive powers, one grain of the active principle of these tablets being suf- ficient to digest 3000 grains of ordinary food. It is plain that no matter what the condition of your stomach, or how far your disease has progressed, one of Stuart’s Dys- pepsig Tablets taken at meal time will do the work—give your stomach an opportunity to regain its lost powers, the muscles will be strength- ened, the glands invigorated, and you will be a new man, It costs nothing to prove the ef- fectiveness of this cure.

Fannie Geraci, 17 years old, of whom four men tried Miss o4' Morgan street, ‘o abduct from Ninth street and Frank- lin avenue Monday night, believes a former suitor was trying to kidnap and marry her. Capt. Schoppe, commanding the Carr Stret Police Station, believes the supposed abduction was an attempt- ed elopement, which failed because Patrolman Clark arrived before the men could put the girl into a storm buggy and drive away with her. The girl and her brother, Tony, 25 vears old, were returning from the home of their sister, Mrs. Charles Biando, of 934 North Ninth street, when the men sprang upon them. Two of the four tied the brother’s hands and led him into an alley while the other two tried tc lift the girl into the buggy. She screamed and Clark arrived in time to sea the four men drive away.

VAL OF NAPOLEON a) Latest Popular Book Published in France Is Filled With Sayings of Eonaparte When He Was at His Best. PARIS, March 19.—Lovers of the say- ings of great men will have a good time browsing through a book just published here. It is filled with the words of Na- poleon Bonaparte. It has come to be quite a fad in France, the collection of phrases from the mouths of the great. M. Jules Bertaut, compiler of the book of Na- poleon’s little speeches, had recourse to all sorts of manuscripts, documents and rare books, and his work has been gen- erally praised. Here are some of the Napoleonic epigrams: Who saves his country violates no law. Equality exists only in theory. The man adjusts himself to his uni- form. The heart of a statesman should be in his head. If perfection were not chimeric it would not be such a success. If aggressors are wrong on high, they are right here below. Man has never a friend; piness which has them. There are knaves sufficiently knave to pass themselves off for honest men. The first woman of the world, be she alive or dead, is she who brings or who brought the most babies into the world. It is necessary to save people in spite of themselves. Popular authors are drivelers appre- ciated. It is not necessary that the chief of state be chief of party.

The best way to keep your word is never to give it. To fear death is little; the great law is to know how to suffer the inevitable. In countries of absolute rule it takes but one will to put down abuses; under the assembly system, five hundred. The police invent more than they find. Aristocracy is in the Old Testament; democracy in the new. The greatest democrat is Jesus Christ. Unhappy the general who comes upon the field of battle with a system.

Harvey O’Brien returned to St. Louis Tuesday, after an absence of five weeks, during which they followed Cheatham’s trail to Bainbridge, Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Savannah, Ga.; Charleston, S. C., and New York. They brought back 2 of the watches which Cheatham stole from the Copperthwaite pawnshop. MISS “DOT” THAL ENGAGED Betrothal to New Yorker Result of Atlantic City Romance.

NUGENTS MILLINERY OPENING ATTRACTS Interest of the crowd of visitors at the spring opening at Nugents Tuesday Was equally divided between the new Pannier, or basket effect gowns, and the Paradise fin. These are both shown on the second floor where, since the re- modeling, twice as much space is de- voted to millinery and women’s, misses’ and children’s ready-to-wear garments as heretofore. For the opening the floor has been converted into a_ veritable spring garden, where flowers, handsome- ly gowned women, bright lights and soft music by a stringed orchestra were pleasing features. The Pannier gown, which is being shown for the first time in this city, is a copy of the work of the artist Cheruit of Paris, where the gown was put on display for the first time on Feb. 15. One of the models is of a tan striped taffeta silk, trimmed with brown velvet bands and medallions. The yoke and drop sleeves are made of silk ratine beautifully trimmed with lace. The display square in the center of the floor is devoted to handsome evening, afternoon and reception gowns, dermi- Trial of Samuel A.

1500 SUITS IN COURT Action. Brought There to Garni- Shee Wages of Employes Throughout the West. a KANSAS CITY, Kan., March 19.— Railroads and city and county authori- ties in Kansas City, Kan., are co-oper- ating to stop the practice of loan sharks “putting a brick on” the pay checks of railroad men. It has been found that in the various courts of the county there are now more than 1500 suits brought by loan sharks to garnishee the wages of men employed in other states from Minnesota to Texas and from Illinois to California. Some of

these. men have never been within a thousand miles of Kansas City, Kan., but they would be forced to come here to defend the suits when the cases were Ba, to trial or else allow judgment to go by default. In this way a thriving businss hag grown up here in bringing suits for loan Sharks in other states. Lawyers who are employed by the loan sharks, it is said, are given assignments of notes. The fact that the railroad the borrower works on runs through Wyandotte Coun- ty is sufficient to permit the bringing of the suit here, no matter where the man may live. In this way suits are brought against employes of the Santa Fe, Rock Island, Frisco, Missouri, Kan- sas & Texas, Missouri Pacific, Kansas City Southern, Burlington, Union Pa- cific, Orient, and Chicago Great Western roads. Railroad Starts Fight. It was through the last named road that the fight was begun on the loan sharks. A. L. Berger, attorney for the Chicago Great Western,.brought suit in the District Court to enjoin T. D. Creer, a justice of the peace, from tak- ing any further proceedings In the col- lection of a judgment of $54 against W. M. Crocker, an employe of the Chicago Great Western in Council Bluffs, Io. A temporary restraining order was issued. The petition alleges that Crocker is not a resident of Kansas and never has The procedure in his case, after he had borrowed money from a loan shark in Iowa, and, through hard luck, fell behind in his payments, was to as- sign the note to a lawyer in Kansas City, Kan. This lawyer brought suit and obtained service by publication in a. weekly paper. The defendant, know- ing notning of the suit, made no defense. Judgment was then entered and notice of garnishment was served on the rail- road. Rather than go to the expense of fighting such suits, the loan shark’s vic- tim generally is forced to pay what is considered an exorbitant judgment. Thrive on Collections, The lawyers who seek this sort of business thrive on collections from em- ployes of interstate corporations and have been doing a big business in Kan- sas City. All the big packing compa- nies here have plants in Chicago, St. Joseph, Omaha, St. Paul, Sioux City, St. Louis, Fort Worth or other places, and hundreds of suits against employes of without you.

received the money in satisfaction of the claim. The attorneys say that like cases are numerous. Last year the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad had 682 writs issued against its employes by one jus- tice of the peace of Wyandotte County. One hundred and eighteen were found to be just, 29 were released and the re- mainder were found to be cases like the above or against men not employed by the company.

The short term guarantee (the kind they put on socks) means even less when applied to automobiles, because it is figured into the selling price, and the man who drives his car with due care is helping pay the manufacturer for the upkeep of the machine that the joy-rider bought.

Few Filed in Kansas. Few of the claims sued on originally were filed in Kansas, but have been as- signed by the original creditor to loan sharks, and service has been obtained by publication in small papers of~lim- ited circulation. The unfortunate debtor does not know of the proceedings against him until he presents himself for his pay check. And no matter where he is, the pay cheek is held up. Then he must proceed to gather his proof that the claim has been settled or paid. That takes time and money, and all the while his pay is not forthcoming. Following are a few instances of the kind, collected by the attorneys: An employe working at Chaffee, Mo., had $19.35 of his wages held out by a railroad on account of a writ issued by a Wyandotte County justice of the peace. He sent the railroad an affidavit, in which he swore he had paid the claim to the constable of the county in which Chaffee is, and the constable also made an affidavit to that effect. The affidavits were sent to the Justice of the Peace, but no reply was received. After other letters had been sent, the justice wrote that he had referred the matter to the collection agency that had brought the proceedings. The collection agency re- fused to drop the action because it claimed to have an affidavit to the ef- fet that the original creditor had not authorized the constable to collect the claim. Three Writs on One Claim. Another employe had three garnish- ments issued against him. After he had presented affidavits and receipts to show that the claim had been paid the justice of the peace released the first writ, but the other two writs were issued and the justice ordered the railroad to pay $27.36. An engineer at Walpulpa, Ok., had $69 of his wages paid into the court of a justice of the peace of Wyandotte Coun- ty in October, 1910. When the justice's successor came in another writ on the same claim was issued and since then two other writs have been served. The

OO , VOUR GRAY HAIRS QUICKLY VANISH

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

Wilson, 524 Washington Av.—ADV. FOR LA FOLLETT IN NORTH DAKOTA Fight Is Between the Wisconsin Progressive and Roosevelt Followers. FARGO, N. D., March 19.—Heavy vot- ing for Senator La Follette of Wiscon- sin marked the opening of the first state presidential preference primary today. Apparently responding to Senator La ollette’s personal appeal; issued in his rapid trip across the State during the last five days, followers of the Wiscon- sin man were the first at the polls in many precincts. This particularly was true in Fargo, Frank Forks and other points in the eastern end of the state. Campaign managers for Theodore Roosevelt said reports received from Bismarck, Mandan and other points in the western end of the State, showed that Roosevelt had lost nothing as a re- sult of Senator La Follette’s speech- making tour. There has been no effort made by the National Taft Committee to bring out votes for the President in the primaries. It is generally recognized that the fight in this State lies between the La Fol- lette and the Roosevelt men. Among the Democrats there {is no contest in the matter of a presidential choice, as Gov. John Burke’s name ap- pears alone on the ticket. From re- liable sources it was learned today that many Democrats, realizing that one pri- iwmary vote for Burke would be as good as a thousand, were casting ballots in favor of La Follette, believing a defeat for Roosevelt would widen the breach in the Republican party.

IS PLAN [0 REACH GRADE AGREEMENT Still a Foot Difference Between Engineers in Plans Wabash Crossings. for A foot of ground still stands in the way of an agreement between the city cfficials and the receivers of the Wa- bash Railroad on the elimination of grade crossings along the _ northern boundary of Forest Park. The city en- gineers insist that the tracks can be properly cepressed with an elevation of four feet in the street level at crossing points. The railroad engineers say that an elevation of five feet is necessary. The Board of Public Improvements hag taken up the question of consequen- tial damages to adjoining property and is preparing a plan for depressing the tracks with a four-foot elevation. Soon after President Reber of the board re- turns, the details of the plans will be officially considered. A canference with the Wabash re- celv will follow, and the railroad of- ficials will be told what the board will recommend to the Municipal Assembly. If the receivers of the road agree to accept the plans containing the elevation of four feet the matter will be presented to the legislative body for action, a member of the board said Tuesday. Two ordinances will be submitted. One will provide that the city shall pay the consequential damages, and the other will specify that the railroads pay the damages. The Municipal Assembly will then decide who shall make the payment to adjoining property owners. If the railroad officials will not accept the four-foot elevation it is probable the ordinances and recommendations of the board will be presented to the Assembly for action. Members of the board say that they believe the railroad will ac- cept the elevation proposal, and that by a process of “give and take’’ on other questions an agreement will be reached within the next few days. TRAIN KILLS 5 MEN AT GRADE CROSSING By Associated Press. ELLETTSVILLE, Ind., March 19.— Five men in a surrey were killed by 4 passenger train on the Chicago, Indian- apolis & Louisville Railroad at a cross- ing near here early today. They had spent last evening at a theater at Bloom- ington and were driving to Spencer, where they were employed as glass- blowers. The engine struck the surrey, splinter- ing it, and four of the men were thrown clear of the track, but the body of one was caught by the pflot of the locomo- tive and carried a mile and a half to this city. Trainmen went back to the crossing and found the torn bodies. The two horses hitched to the vehicle were not hurt.

ET ST | EL A HEAD THAT WEIGHED 10 POUNDS It Would Make You Faint, Too, as It Did This Lady. But It Grew Lighter and Now She Can Walk Miles. “I was so weak, I could hardly walk,” writes Mrs. Jennie Bell of Keechi. “T nad not enougn strength to lift my baby from the bed, and my head felt as if it weighed 10 pounds. “This made me faint, and I thought I could not live. “I was ready to give up at any time. “I went to see my mother, who gave me some medicine. It did me no good, ang I went back home. “Mother came, too, and persuaded me to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, as a last resort. So I sent to the store and got me a bottle. “Now, I am well, and can walk miles and carry baby with me all the way.’—Keechi, Tex. Do you suffer from weakness? Does your head feel heavy? Do you want to give up? If you do, you should heed the moral of this story—a true story from life. Thousands of women suffer when they shouldn't. They shouldn’t suffer, when there is a remedy waiting for them, on every druggist’s shelf, ready to re- lieve their -troubles—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Don’t let Cardui wait any longer. N.

Such a department will broaden peoples’ minds by giving them a digest of news- paper opinion, and lends to the Sunday Post-Dispatch something of the form of @ substantial weekly journal, rather than that of a mere daily newspaper. PROF. G. B. MORRISON, Principal | of McKinley High Schcol: Although I have not paid particular attention to this department of the Sunday Post- Dispatch, my opinion is that it is an excellent thing.

of last week, editorial comment and over the country, under the general page in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch given to a summary of the caption of ‘The Mirror of Public Opinion,’’ has received hearty indorsement It will be a regular feature every Sunday. Educators, lawyers, judges, business men have said that such a page is of inestimable value, and have expressed the hope that it should be a per- manent department of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Some of the commentaries ilar views and policie3, since it gives them at a glance the very news they want. ELMER B. ADAMS, Judge of the United States Circuit Cuurt cf Appeals: Any move to present review of big news cvents of a week in crisp, concise form is a good one. We don’t need lengthy articles. Busy men !ike to have the news features given—either with or without cartoons, preferably with them —in the least space possible. The ‘‘Mir- ror of Public Opinion” should be very popular. CHARLES A. HOUTS, United States District Attorney: The “Mirror of Public Opinion” is an excellent news- paper idea. Whild we get good news, editorial comment and cartooning in the Post-Dispatch, we also like to see what others get elsewhere. The “Mirror,” I think, will prove a most interesting fea- ture of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. EK. CG. SIMMONS: The first things that claim one’s attention on the page are the cartoons. It is amazing what a hold cartoons have on people. A year ago, on the first of January, I was on my way to Florida, and noticed a book entitled, “‘Cartoons of T. R.’’ in a book store, and bought it. It contained car- toons gathered from many nations. In Florida at the hotel there were a lot of books. I gave this one to the manager, and it was added to the collection. I watched it, and found that it was in de- mand, and in use all of the time. When I returned to the hotel this year, I looked for the book, and it was still there, but the use it had seen was evi- denced by its coverless and dog-eared condition. It shows the popularity of that sort of thing. This is a picture age. It {gs marvel- ous what effect pictures have on the destinies of mankind. Cartoons exercise an immense influ- ence. They will make and unmake can- didates in the coming election more than they ever have before. The se- lected cartoons on the page and the gathered expressions of editorial opin- ion are very timely, and the page should be popular, and meet with a cordial reception. It is information in con- densed form, and that is what the peo- ple want. The day of long-winded things is past. W. F. SAUNDERS, Secretary Busi- ness Men’s League: The Mirror of Pub- lic Opinion strikes me as a very good thing. If I were to express a criticism it would be that the extracts are too long. I think it would be better if they were shorter, and there were more of them. The page should be entirely neu- tral on politics. Business men want ex- act information, free from bias, on the current political questions. If the pre- sentation of opinions is done fairly, the department should be of very great value, and readers will look for ‘it, and open their papers to it. It ought to de- velop into a very good thing. A collec- tion of the best cartoons of the week make a very good feature. ROLLA WELLS, President Busi- ness Men’s League: The new department is commendable and should be useful. The cartoons attract my attention. It is very remarkable how accurately car- toons tell their story. It is wonderful how faithfully they impersonate and how much is condensed in them. Car- toons are picture stories and as such they exert a tremendous influence. FESTUS J. WADE: The feature is very good, attractive and interesting and should be valuable to busy men. BEN BLEWETT, Superintendent of Public Schools: The idea of the Post- Dispatch in presenting a review of the big happenings throughout the coun. try, with editorial and pictorial com- ment each Sunday, is an excellent thing, I don’t see why this feature has not been taken up before by daily newspa- pers. Like the “Literary Digest” anq “Review of Reviews,”" papers should de- vote more space to the substantial news features rather than the sensational. In the “Mirror of Public Opinion” the best ideals of thought or variety of thought throughout the country can be promoted. By it the people will get the opinions of the best thinkers, either in paragraphs or cartoons, and jn that way can absorb public opinion so it will be influential in the best way. EX-JUDGE HENRY S&S. PRIEST; | am heartily in favor of the “Mirror of Public Opinion.”” I have to read and study heavy volumious books al} during the week and am tired when Sunday comes, but still I have to know what the big brains of the country are thinking on important public questions and on such a page as the Post-Dispatch is carrying, it is all condensed for me. Think of the saving it is in just a physical way and especially to the eyes. It will be the essence of things with a}) the trimmings left off, and that is what we want in this busy age. CIRCUIT JUDGE WILLIAM M. KINSEY: Such a digest gives the busy person @ chance to obtain tn short time and little space a clear view of important things and the general opin. ions on such. Anything in that line is bound to be & popular adjunct to a newspaper. . CIRCUIT JUDGE GEORGE H. SHIELDS: It’s fine. One gets a bird's. eye view of what is going on and what the world thinks. I hope the Post- Dispatch will keep ft up. JOHN S. LAMY, attorney: I think this “Mirror of Public Opinion” ig an excellent idea. It will be a fine way for the paper to appeal to the really think-

ing public and especially the busy think. ers.

Last Sunday 308,204 -—— . ' THE LATEST HOSPITAL ROW. The resignation of Charles L. Swarts and the early expiration of the terms of three other mem- bers of the hospital board will probably result in an almost entire change in the personnel of this board. These first board appointees under the act consolidating the several municipal institutions of philanthropy have been a disappointment. After the revelations made last summer by the Post-Dispatch showing hospital conditions, there was a feeling that the board should then resign and permit the work to be taken up by others who commanded greater confidence. That the board’s loss of influence at the city hall is due in

~gome part to the facts brought out at that time is hardly to be doubted. But Mr. Swarts on resigning made one serious charge against the present administration. This is that recommendations of manifest merit and involving only moderate cost have been denied ‘the approval of the Municipal Assembly on par- Because there are factions fer. One faction has sought to penalize the other . faction when the only ones penalized are the un- . fortunate hospital inmates. ' Bast year the sick had to endure neglect and deprivation of proper treatment because the board, trusting its subordinates, did not know what’ was going on. Since that time the sick have-continued to endure neglect and deprivation pper..treatment because the Municipal As- embry, with a full knowledge of their needs, fs too busy playing politics to give assent to urgent recommendations. The situation is intolerable. a A Ap _— a The} hongrable Clan of pardoned prison poets will }@ green with envy when it hears of the Richménd, Ky., man who sang so touchingly in court that he escaped any penalty whatever. a A dresses, with bright red hair ribbons the boy all wearing red ties. The Christmas tree was large and beautifully trimmed. Now all children don’t look alike to me. Nor dc all Christmas trees. Nor do all children’s plays. But somehow these children, this tree, this play, seemed the same, absolutely the same as in other years. I had to exert all my sense of time to overcome the idea that I was wrong. And then the way the children all coughed! Not & cough here and there, but every child had a cold. That was so each year. I always remem- bered that the penitentiary prisoners, too, all coughed after singing Sunday services. Do let’s stop pouring our children through this button mould. We don’t want hundreds of chfl- dren all alike—all growing up to believe that one has to have a cold when all the rest have one, just as one has to have a red hair ribbon on Christmas eve. The lower the type of animal life, the more alike are those of a species. The Municipal Assembly has a fine chance to break one “button-moulding” machine and place children in private homes by passing the chil- dren’s guardians bill. A SOCIAL WORKER. Buying the School Piano. To the E@itor of the Post-Dispatch. We have free schools in this city for rich and poor. We have to buy books and other things that are needed and then the school authorities ask little children to help pay for the piano for the school. Theh they have some kind of a show for the benefit of the children, but those little fel- lows that haven’t any money can’t see the show, so the poor can’t have the benefit. We think the taxes and high rents are enough to pay for the piano and let us have free shows for the children’s own good. PARENTS. East St. Louis, TIL Protect the Inventor. fo the Editur of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to the recent patent decision of the Supreme Court, much fs being eaid in the papers about passing new laws to restrict the rights of the patentee. Such a step should not be taken without serious consideration, since protection of his ideas by patent is now the only opportunity left to the mechanic to enter business on his own account.. Small means cannot compete with or- ganized capital, but !f the mechanic’s ideas are patented he has an opportunity to rise, and it is practically the only opportunity that is left to him in these trust-ridden days. Monopolies do not exist by reason of patents, but they exist in spite of them, that is to say, by reason of their money power, monopolies are able to coerce the inventor into selling his invention to them at a nominal price, or they will simply take it, and defy the inventor to sue, This means years of litigation and an expense which absolutely bars the inventor from seeking redress. Monopolies can, of course, employ the best attorneys and patent experts and they may be said to be at home in the United States courts, where the in- ventor, though he may begin a suit, seldom has the money to carry it far enough to be heard. Instead of making new laws to restrict his rights, let Congress and the courts see to it that the inventor receives better protection. If this be done the inventive genius of our country will very soon eliminate monopolies by bringing about more active competition. L ee ee Advice Wanted. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

Yes, our President, Mr. Taft, {s very popular with the Republican voters of this State, as tho returns of the preferential primary held tn Kan- sas City clearly show. He would be just as popu- lar with the voters of St. Louis if the Republican politicians would give the Republican voters a chance to express their opinion as to whom they prefer as their candidate. But no, the voters of this eity are not intelligent enough to know who they want. S8o it has been left to our ward com- mitteemen to decide for us who will be our choice for the. nomination, the very popular Mr. Taft. Leave it to these men, who one day urge the nomination of the “greatest, the grandest, the foremost citsen of these whole United States of America,” Theodore Roosevelt, to use their own expression, and wake up the next morning whoop- ing it up for Mr. Taft. Cannot these men see that the best interests of the Republican party are not bound up in Mr. Taft? Men who are hoping for the elettion of a Republican President know that, if nominated, Taft cannot possibly be elect- ed; the people who vote do not want him, ana with him as a candidate the handicap will be so great as to drag our State ticket down to sure ae it over, you men who have the vote of the 8.

WORTH OF DRAINAGE, From the Christian Science Monitor. The broad claim is made that a com- prehensive national drainage system will add $4,000,000,000 a year to the pub- lic wealth of the United States. It may fall consideraby short of this and yet prove a beneficence in opening up to the industrious new opportunities for the acquirement of homesteads and compe- tence. The low lands generally are rich in productiveness. Properly drained they would be most inviting to the farm- er and the market gardener. They run from 18,000,000 acres in Florida to 2600 acres in West Virginia, and while their redemption from present uselessness and worse would mean an immense addition to the natural resources of the South, ft could not fail to be advantageous to the whole country. PORTUGAL. From the New York Tribune. There really is no peril of a casus belli in the report that some family compact of the Braganzas debars an American woman from becoming Queen of Portugal, for there are other much more important and formidable obsta- cles than that to any woman’s ever again attaining that distinction. The Lusitanian republic may not be an Irl- descent and scintillating success, but it is far ahead of the late unlamented monarchy.

HIGH COST OF LIVING. From the New York Tribune. That wine at Bremen the value of which is estimated at $2,143,903 a glass would afford ravishing possibilities to those who prize a ‘jag’ according to its pecuniary cost; but We have no doubt that the average connoisseur on the Bowery would greatly prefer 5-cent whisky.

There is little to be seen as yet of the fortifications at the Atlantic end of the Panama Canal, but those at the Pa- cific end are a fine warlike surprise for the visitor who is not prepared for them by anything he has heard at home. The Pacific entrance to the canal is guarded by a series of Gibraltars. Some of these heights of land are on the main shore, and others are islands. The prin- cipal one, Ancon Hill, ts at the right hand of the canal going in. It is 2% feet high, and has been terraced for fortifications until it resembles a Rhine vineyard. In front of Ancon Hill, and also at the right of the canal going in, are three volcanic islands. They are from two to three miles off shore, and immedtately overlook the deep sea chan- nel which leads out from the canal across the bar. These three islands are being joined together by dikes. As one hears it down there, they are being linked together to keep one of them from sinking unless all of them do. At any rate, these three islands are also to frown with cannon, and one of them is to support a sea battery. For this purpose the island is being shaved off flat to within about 50 feet of the sea. As an American down there explained it, the sea battery is a kind of shooting clock. It will sit in the flat top of this island, and whenever the Japanese or any other people try to take the cana), all we shall have to do is turn on the clock, which will in a very short time reduce everything around it to the level of the surrounding bay. “I don’t know much about the other end,” said this expressive person, ‘“‘but the fortifications are to be on Roose-

JONES AND GEIK TURNER The Daily Short Story for 2 Post-Dispatch Readers J HE railroad had killed her muley cow, and the rail- road had got to pay for it —so said Mrs. Bilger, widow lady residing in the suburbs of Grafton, on the hills of Southern Pennsylvania. Grafton is not an im- osing place. It is situated in a hole nm the woods mowed out by the saw- mill, which forms its principal in- dustry. The late Mr. Bilger had left his widow her smal] house and clearing, an 8-year-old son, a double-barreled shotgun, and her muley cow, A few melancholy hens completed the in- ventory of the estate. Mrs. Bilger, who was a woman of character, made ' the best of her resources. Shé Lvwu-‘self tickled the shallow surface of her - portion of the earth till it burst forth . sca A summer into a sickly grin of ey potatoes and corn, while her — conscientious hens converted the minor by-products of the farm into marketable produce. Her main trust, however, had always been put in her muley cow, who had furnished her a _— supply of milk, for which she ound a ready sale. This muley cow would probably not have taken a prize on fancy points at a cattle show; still she was a patient, industrious animal, and a good provider. But at last, unfortu- nately, the extreme scarcity of pro- visions drove her to night work, and she wandered on to the railroad -track and unintentionally ran against a freight train in the dark. There was no doubt in Mrs. Bil- ger’s mind from the first that the -railroad would have to settle for her cow. So she informed the station agent the very day following the ac- cident, and after protracted negotia- tions. which nearly lost the station agent his dinner, the latter agreed to forward a demand for settlement to headquarters. Mrs. Bilger didn’t see why he couldn't settle for her mar- tyred cow on the spot, but she was willing to make reasonable conces- sions. Her final price was $23. So, after awhile, the station agent forwarded her demand to the divis- fon superintendent, and after awhile the division superintendent forward- ed it to the division claim agent, and after awhile the division claim agent decided he would send out a man to look up the case. It took about three weeks in all for the railroad officials to get around to Mrs. Bilger’s case, and Mrs. Bilger, deprived of her chief means of sustenance, was becoming some- what dangerous. She viewed with in- creasing displeasure the _ railroad men in general, and especially those who came to get water from her ' spring. "Wal, ef they ain't got gall,” she was accustomed to say to her Willie in this interval, “killing old muley cow, and then comin’ here to get our water.” Finally she decided to ultimatum. “Here, you!” she said, when the section hands came up one noon for their daily supply, “you get out of thar. You don’t get no more water out of my spring till you pay for my muley cow you killed.” “What muley cow? We ain't killed no muley cow,” said the astonished rection hands; but it was no use to talk to Mrs. Bilger. The boss, a fat man, who hal somewhat of a determined character himself, and who prided himself on his power of invective, was severely sarcastic on their return. . “Gimme that pail. I'll show’ you get the water.’ He waddled pail in a truly ferocious give her how to off with the manner. Mrs. Bilger was in the house at the time. The section boss walked tri- umphantly up to the spring and stooped down to take up the water in his pail. The water was some way down in the ground, being confined in a shallow well, walled with stones, and as he was a very fat man, it took him some time to get down to it, Just as he was about to accom- his purpose he suddenly «toppled over head foremost into the 8 @ with the graceful, tilting mo- ‘ oh of a mud turtle falling off a log. Mrs. Bilger had waylaid him with » her broom. , The section boss was a very close + fit for the spring, and he made up his «mind several times before he un- wedged himself that he was a drowned section boss, When he finally did get out, spluttering and swearing, he found himeslif looking into the muzzles of a double-barreled shotgun, like a pair of opera-glasses. He fled Sg agate without his et. “IT won't take less’n $30 now, cash down,” was all she said. After that it was vain for a rail- road man to attempt to use that spring. She watched it most of her spare time herself, and when she her boy out, By and by, however, the section boss decided to negotiate with Mrs. Bilger.

That cow will cost you just $62 now.” “But she wasn’t worth any $62,” he protested. “Yes she was, too,” said Mrs. Bil- ger; “countin’ the time I’ve lost fool- in’ over the blame thing the last three months, an’ all I’ve had to pay for butter and cheese, $62’s cheap. Besides, you can pay it just as well as not; you know you've got the money. If you don’t, I'll take it to the law.” Mrs. Bilger was obstinate, and the claim agent too® back his check, and, acting on Mrs, Bilger’s threat to go to law, sent over the first two pa- pers on the case to the general claims attorney, intending. to see him about it next day. Next day he was called off suddenly to another part of the road. While he wag gone the second report from the station agent came along, with a bill for $50 for Mrs. Bilger’s muley cow, and, the depart- ment claim agent being away, was sent straight to the claims attorney. The three bills confused him. “What the devil are they doing down there,” said the claims attor- ney when the claim agent came back, “having a massacre of muley cows?” It took the claim agent some time to explain, In the meantime Mrs. Bilger began to take the bit in her teeth. She now resolved to suspend traffic generally on the road till they paid some atten- tion to her. For this purpose she secured an old red flannel shirt, and hitching it on the end ,.of an ax helve, began to. flag all the trains going 4 the grade industriously. “You killed my muley cow, and you’ve got to pay for her,” she said, when the trains came to qa standstill. “I wont’ take less’n §67 for her.” It is not necessary to state what the train hands said, One Tuesday night she put the boy to bed early; then she prepared for action. Filling two buckets from the half barrel of soft soap always kept on tap, and taking a bucket in each hand, Mrs. Bilger started out into the dark, and walked half a mile up the grade, Then she artistically applied her soft soap to about a quarter of a mile of the track. The next train wag a freight due from the east about 9 o'clock. She was late that night, and she came down that grade for all she knew how. When she struck that soft soap she slid ahead like a comet rollick- ing through space: the engine rocked from side to side KXke a steam launch in a storm. The Sngineer saw there was something wrong in a minute, and whistled “down brakes” fero- ciously. The brakemen put on enough power on the brakes to lift her right off the tracks and hold her suspended in the air, hut she just plunged ahead through the darkness. squirting soft soap on all the sur- rounding landscape. The train went by the station like a demoniac steam calliope escaped from a circus, with a frightened train hand hanging on the brake of everv other car. When they finally stopved. two miles down the road. the engi- neer said he never‘had such an awful feeling in his life—only he didn’t sav it that way. The fireman was quite seasick, The that express was night, and had a horrible rate her when she reached the grade. Nevertheless, when she. struck it she stopped short within two lengths. To the wild dismay of the engineer, the big drivers of his en- gine just whirled around and around like a top. The engine couldn't get up that grade any more than a man ean lift himself by his boot straps. Finally the engineer’ stopped her, and he and the fireman got out to investigate. Up the grade in front of the engine the rails, in the beams of the headlight, stretched in two strangely glistening lines, “By thunder!” exclaimed the fire- man stooping down; “it’s soft soap.” “Now will you pay me for my muley cow?” sald a voice from the darkness, “If you don’t, you'll never run your darned road again.” Tt was a Bilger. Her price had heavy engineer speed on extra the — risen to $87. It so happened that a very impor- tant person was on this train. no less important a person, In fact, than the president of the road. He was in a hurry, too, and he came out of his special car to see what wag going on, just as Mrs. Bilger arrived on the scene. “Well, what’s the said the president. “Soft soap, sir,” said the excited engineer; “this woman's been daub- ing up the track with soft soap so we can't run the train, because she had her darned cow killed and they won't pay for it.” , they will,” said Mrs. Bilger; | itll cost ’em $87—not a cent s matter here?’ This amused the president consid- erably. He took out his fat pocket- book and counted out a big roll of bills. “There you are,” said he “I'll pay it myself.” “That muley cow was a good pay- ing muse vansees n Judicial Repartee. oT HEY never do,” replied Mr. Plow- den to a man who comp to him at Marylebone that his wife would not go away when he asked. , + ' 4 “ “| wisht you’d tell that friend of yours ter quit taggin’ around stl 6, Genevieve!” “Dis ain't a friend, Willie.

She did not know even yet that he had been called suddenly’ to Philadelphia on a business trip with ..is employer, the husband of Clara Mud- ridge-Smith.

Tuberculosis of the Soul Written for the Post-Dispatch By HELEN ROWLAND. NCE upon a time there was & O Sweet Young Thing who ENJOYED LIFE. Not only was she enthusiastic about every- thing, from chocolate eclairs to Bernard Shaw, but she didn’t mind SHOWING it, which was bad form, but good for tired eyes. She revelled in a flirtation just for “Art’s sake,” was wild about studio teas, trembled with delight at meeting a Celebrity, kept fresh violets before the portraits of Car- uso and Maude Adams and could eat a sixty-cent table d’hote dinner (wine included) with a relish that made her friends envious. Every new novel gave her either a shock or a thrill, she could enjoy a play from the second balcony and could even take a violent interest in the society of an Ordinary Man. Life to her looked like one long, rose-colored vista of delight, with a fairy prince and real love as the climax. One day, however, she met a blase Dilettante with lots of money and a limousine. Her simple enthusiasm was such a novelty that it caught his jaded spirit and momentarily fascinated him. “Poor little girl!” he said. “If she enjoys these pitiful little side dishes so much, how ENTRANCED she would be with the Rea] Things of Life!” And for the sheer joy of watching her enthusiasm he began inviting her out to twelve-conrse dinners at Brilliant Restauranta, motor trips, box parties at the Opera and turkey- trot cotillions, showering her with orchids and marrons glaces and re- galing her with éfwhes, rare vintages and the sight 2 Bocial Celebrities sd Of course it couldn’t last long, and in a few months the jaded Dilet- tante had forgotten all. about her and was Off pursuing another fad. No, the Sweet Young Thing’s heart wasn’t broken. But somehow when she went back to join her friends everything seemed stale, flat and unprofitable. Tea with lemon in it seemed so commonplace after “perfumed punch,” and as fer vin ordinaire and pink and green ice cream, she couldn’t even swallow them after champagne and nesselrode pudding. Musicales bored her, flirtations seemed insipid and all life seemed like a slow walk after aq joy ride. Somehow the _ glitter vanished from everything and the whole world looked dull and tarnished. “Dear me!” sighed the damsel, “TI must have the spring fever. I shall have to consult a doctor.” The doctor took her pulse and Beauty Seekers Praise Canthrox “Since soap and many prepared shampoos have been found injur- jous to the hair,” writes Mrs, Mae Martyn in the Boston News, “beauty seekers who are interested in havy- ing beautiful, abundant hair are taking rapidly to the use of a tea- spoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water for shampooing. “No other shampoo seems to be so good, as the cleansing lather which canthrox makes—removes dirt, dan- druff and stops scalp trritation im- mediately, while it adds a luster ang soft fluffiness to the hair.

The present modes call loudly for slender propor- tions and the suppression of the hips. But even while Dame Fashion its doing everything possible to aid her it is still necessary for the slender maiden to choose her frocks with care if she wants to make the best of herself. The slender silhouette, the tightly fit- ted skirt, the kimono sleeve are all in- sisted on by the great dressmakers, but this does not mean that any woman is ever becomingly clothed who looks as shapeless as a lath and appears, to quote an old-fashioned New England ex- pression, ‘“‘so you can’t tell whether she is goin’ or comin’.”’ The woman who is too thin should always remember that BONES are not beauty. Why, oh, why, will she, even n the depth of winter, insist on wear- ing a frock with one of the round or pointed necks that are deservedly pop- ular when exploited on the right wom- an? Uptown or downtown, or wherever one goes, one is sure to meet some foolish old or young woman who ex- poses six inches or more of scrawny neck to the chilling blasts of winter, and (what is worse) to the gaze of the public. It does not matter so much what kind of corsets the thin woman wears if they fit and do not unduly compress the hips. Most slender people have very little hip development; and, while big hips are certainly very ugly, the other extreme of ‘‘no hips at all is just as much a deformity in its way. In the case of a very meager figure it is some- times an improvement to place a thin pad made of a layer or two of cotton batting under the corsets just at the hips.

His mind was too wholly occu- pied with the rights of men to find a place in it for the duties of man. As a social philosopher Jefferson towered above all his contemporaries and the product of his mind is a legacy to man- kind. For the reason I wish to add my mite to the noble contribution of Mr. Pulitzer for a monument to Jefferson. ‘In connection with this subject I am taking the liberty to say a few words about the World itself, Mr. Pulitzer’s own greatest monument. At this time when unscrupulous men with foggy theories seek to mislead the voters the World stands out as a beacon light. Therefore I believe that so long as the press as a whole is incorruptible, fear- less and sane our political institutions will remain safe against all hostile at- tacks. “Those who attempt to override in- violate customs and to destroy the valid- ity of the courts by appealing to and in- flaming the temporary passions and prejudices of the people will themselves be recalled and retained in private life, for in the philosophy of Jefferson and the statecraft of Washington there is no place for the man who lacks fidelity friendships and principles, or who Re- * A | ‘ 4 & - 3} 3 * } > . 4 i ae ? ; es cy f A | - . : | c bs | . “ PS as ie?

Ivy is a scientific forester and engineer.) “To the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Fund—Thomas Jefferson was the father not only of the American Declaration of Independence, but of the principle that no President of the United States should have more than two terms. I! quote from the New-York Times article: ‘The Unwritten but Potent. Law Against the Third Term:’ “*The tradition as it exists today is entirely the result of Jefferson’s force- ful and continued insistence upon it. He not only created the belief that a third political term would not only be injur- ious to the country, but he urged that doctrine so steadily and forcibly upon the country that it took root in the pub- lic mind. The arguments made against the third term today are the same with which Jefferson attacked it from 1805 to the end of his life.’ “The conclusion that In this idea Jef- ferson was enternally right has taken so stron ga hold upon the public mind that whoever favors a third term for a president is regarded as a reactionary of the most dangerous character: in fact, as a Benedict Arnold to the cause of free institutions. “Your distinguished committee has ealled upon the public to contribute to a national memorial to Jefferson just at a time when ruthless hands are at work to break down this unwritten law. While you are calling for subscriptions to honor the man whose insistence estab- lished this principle in our government, others, in paid advertisements, are ask- ing the public for funds to finance the ambitions of a man who seeks to over- throw that principle and precedent. ; “I believe that at least one million Americans, if they had the opportunity, would be glad to add a dollar to this worthy memorial—first, in recognition of Jefferson's unselfish opposition to mon- archial tendencies in government; sec- ond, in protest against any revival, or attempt at revival, at any time, of the third term movement.

Bresnahan has a team that has Played together for three years and as perfected team play in that time. Bresnahan is the greatest catcher and wili work in the coming series. The Browns lack the aggressive- mess of the Cardinals. . This may seem strange, in view of the fact that the Browns beat the Car- dinals and Wallace since is supposed to have strengthened his club by the ac- quisition of such men as Stovall, Comp- ton, Pratt and Charles and Elmer Brown. The truth is, Wallace HAS strengthened his club. The Browns look easily 2% per cent stronger. Stovall is @ fighter and a good first sacker. Comp- ton is a clever fiy chaser and the pres- ence of Pratt on the club has made Laporte a great ballplayer. Laporte al- Ways was, but because of lack of com- petition he never before showed it. Now that Pratt is after Francois’ job, the Frenchman is playing his string to the limit. He's a dangerous factor in any game, as he will play second fiddle to no man as a hitter. Yesterday he poled two of the longest drives ever seen on the local Jot. One went for a home run and another hit a sign on the far corner of the fence and bounded for a two- base knock. Laporte is hustling in the field and there now seems no more chance of Pratt getting his job than there is of William J. Bryan ascending the presidential chair next March. Wallace has the makings of a stronger ball club than the one he commanded fn 1911, but the new club will not prove its worth until it has smoothed over the bumps of inexperience, With Sto- yall on first, Laporte onsecond, Austin at third and Pratt, Wares, Hallinan or Wallace at short, the Browns may have a changed inner defense. It looks a good One, a splendid one; but will need polish and team work for several weeks to be at its best. MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 19. LIMINATING the element of luck which always works its way into a ames, and assumin rowns and Cantina! that the coming pre-season als are played strictly on their the Cardinale win.

AUSTIN ARRIVES AT CAMP; IS SURE OF THIRD, WALLACE SAYS MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 19. IMMY AUSTIN, the Browns’ J ‘“‘pepperiest” kid, reported to " Manager Wallace here this morning, and was in a suit this afternoon, going through practice stunts. He is in fair condition. Wallace declared Austin would take his old place at third as soon as fit, and that Hallinan would do regular duty at. short. unless dis- placed by Wares or Pratt. Wal- lace hinted that he would be a bench manager this season. However, Wallace will get into condition, and unless the young- sters are smarter than. recruits of previous years, he will still be too good for them to ouvst. Just now Hallinan has the best cea on the shortstop’s berth. —

On the other hand the Cardinals have a formidable infield, even with Mike Mowrey |missing. But most of all.the Cardinals in the coming series will have Bresnahan behind the bat. Then they have Huggins, the brainy Httle man on second, and »‘'Reb” Oakes, a deep thinker, in center. ‘That represents the keystone of a bal] club—catcher, second base- man and center fielder. It was the fortifica- tion of these three’ positions which made the Sox a great ball.club in 1906. Billy Sullivan, a wise head, was then be- hind the’ bat. George Davis at second and ‘Flelder Jones in center’ They” formed a three-ply pivot around which the hitless won- ders revolved. They all knew the game from every angle.. The same goes for the Cardinal trio. Bresnahan fs. one.of the really great men in baseball today. In Huggins he hag an able lieutenant, while Oakes does a lot of thinking for his brethren in the outfield. Oakes does not get credit for all he does, but Reb keeps pretty close tab on Messrs. Evans and Ellie and usually ewings them

into the proper position for each batsman. Browns’ Training Work Lighter Than That Done IFE in Camp Wallace is not nearly so strenuous as it is in Camp Bresna- J han. Down here it is the vogue tu report at @:45 for morning practice apd at $:15 for matinee work, Less than two hours are spent on the diamond in the morning, while the afternoon session usuelly lasts for three hours. Bresnahan gives his men two and one-half hours’ work in the morn- ing and follows it up with four or four and one-half hours in the after- noon. Then Roger has a system of keeping his men working all the time, During batting practice the men toss & medicine ball between hits. The Brownies loll on a bench between swats. That's the difference jim training. ’ However, when the Cleveland Yannigans were here last Sunday to play Montgomery, one of the Cleveland scribes accompanied them, and he marveled at the fact that the Browntas were out for work*on, 5un- aad morning. “Why, Davis lete the men come and go. as they please,” said the pencil pusher. ‘‘The Naps have a cinch,” he continued, “never working more than

Coast Athletes Sure of Making Olympic Team

Wonderful Work of Rose, Sned- egar, Horine and Others Attracts Attention. NEW YORK. March 19.—Gustavus T. Kir- by. president of the Amateur Athietic Union, who has just returned from an extended trip across the continent, reports that everywhere the interest in the approaching Olympic games is keen. A large part of his time was spent in looking over prospective Western members @f the American team and he re- turned with @ fairly long list of names which he regards as well nigh certain of a place. ' #There certainly can be no doubt about the aclection of Ralph Rose,”’ he said to in- quirers. ““He shows every evidence of round- tng into better condition than ever before. He je confident that he can average more than BO feet with right and left hand before the games. Bellah is certainly @ great pole vault- er and broad jumper and anyone who as conalstently vaults close to 13 feet and broad jumpe close to 28 feet should have the best of chances of meking the team.

Donohue, th Seattle, te in splendid condition and be a formidable competiter for the penth- believes that Edmundston is

in Cardinal Camp combined. Davis believes in letting the men condition themselves, and some of them do nothing more than toss the bal! around,” So it’s only a matter of one man’s opinion after all. But just the same, Bresnahan, by his strenuous training methods, whipped his club into shape in three days, and when the writer left there last Saturday evening there wasn’t a gore arm in camp. then, and probably will be at their best Saturday afternoon. The Browns will not be found woefully wanting in condition. though. But the Brownies do not figure to beat the Cardi- nals because Wallace hasn’t a Bresnahan bebind the bat and neither has he a team with the perfect teamwork that Bresnahan boasts of. As to pitchers, Wallace has either Hamil- ton or Lake to use in the opener and then such sterling youngsters-as.Chariie or El- mer Brown, both of whom are in shape to fall back on. But Bresnahan gets an even break here, as he has Harmon, Sallee and Steele going at their best. Nuff said.

TWOLOGAL CLUBS AGAIN ENGAGE IN ANNUAL QUARREL One Wants to Stay in South and Other Desires to Come Home —Result: Much Argument. A bitter feeling has again sprung up between the Browns and the Cardi- nals. It’s because the American Leag- uers want the scheduled series of gamcs started on time, while the National Leaguers are eager to remain at their training camp in Jackson, Miss. Tho fuss will only add to the keen rivalry always on tap when the two teams mix for the city honors. Bresnahan is justified in staying in the South if weather conditions here are not ideal for training purposes. But the condition here since last Sat- urday is well suited for a baseball club and reports of the sunshine being on tap have probably been withheld from Bresnahan. He apparently is laboring under the impression that it is still cold and snowing up here. If the present brand of weather continues, the Browns and Cardinals will hook up Sat- urday. However, it isn’t too late to hold the teams in the South. If a snowstorm sets in before Thursday night it would be only a trifling matter to wire instructions to the managers to stay on the job in Dixie land. Austin Swings in Line. Jimmy Austin is on his way to Montgom- ery, where he hopes to round into condition in two days. At most, that’s all the work the Pepper Boy can get in before the Browns return to St. Louis. Austin signed his con- tract Monday after being closeted with Pres- ident Hedges for about an hour. The terms of the document were not announced, but both parties expressed themselves as being satisfied. Austin wintered in Cleveland. He says the winter there was very severe and aside from throwing the ball in the last few weeks he has had little work. He is a well-behaved oung man, however, and doesn’t add much ex- tra weight in the off season. For that rea- son Jimmy will need little work to put him on edge. With Austin In line, all the Brownies are accounted for. Pitcher Walter Moser is a holdout, but will have to come in at the club terms or be turned over to some minor league club. Outfielder-Infleléer-Catcher Tony Brief and Pitcher Ed Hawk are expected to report here Saturday. DETROIT TENPINNER ROLLS GOOD TOTAL CHICAGO, March 19.—Larry Sutton of Rochester, leader !n the A. B. C. tourna- ment singles, had a scare thrown into him yesterday when Maurice Hotchkiss of De- troit started off with two 235 games in his singles performance. He fell down in his third effort, however, and finished with a 674 pin total. That's five pins less than Sutton’s mark and gives the Detroiter second place. In the doubles, Thomas O'Connell and George Whitmarsh, also of Detroit, jumped to fifth place with a? 1213 total. _—-_—-—-

| Crews Begin

St. Louis Clubs Will Have Boats on the River Next Week, if Weather Continues Mild. NE week from Sunday, and possibly next Sunday, if the weather contin- ues warm, every rowing club in the St. Louls harbor will have crews on the river preparing for what promises to be the greatest rowing carnival in the history of the amateur game in the United States. This will be a triple regatta, embracing the an- nual events of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, the Southwestern Row- ing Association and the Central States Rowing Association, to be held at Peoria, Ill., the last week in July. All the prominent boat clubs of this country and Canada, east of the Rocky Mountains, are preparing to be represented at the Peoria course, and St. Louis will, without doubt, have the largest entry of all cities. Every club here, with the pos- sible exception of the Century Boat Club, will have entrants in nearly every event of both the Central and Southwestern re- gattas, and the pick of the local clubs will enter the national competitions, too. This will be the first time the National regatta has come west since World's Fair year, when the races were held on the Creve Coeur Lake course. The North End Rowing Club its going into the game this year with more vim than usual. . = | TRAINING CAMP NOTES |

Jack McInnis and Jack Barry of the Ath- letics are complaining. The little first baee- man has not completely recovered from an in- jury to his ankle, while the shortstop’s arm is bothering him.

Mike Donlin may be @ candidate for work at the Pirates’ first bag. He worked there Monday while Jack Miller was ajso first- basing during part of the practice session.

ene SPECIAL STOCKS FEATURE. TRADE IN WALL STREET Copper, Southern Pacific and Reading Advanced, While Some Issues Are Sold.

GOLD GOES OUT Banks Send $90,000 to the Ar- gentine for London and Paris Account. MORE

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 19.—The Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “The foreign markets were more cheerful today and sentiment here and abroad apparently favored a fur- ther rise of prices. “London acted on the supposition that the strike situation had im- proved, and that the disturbance would soon be ended. “How far this view reflected local conditions remaing to be seen, but the market was quick to respond to the more cheerful interpretation of events, with the result that there Was a firm undertone to prices throughout the day. “The price movement here was irreg- ular much of the time, with periods of decided strength and little real heavi- hess until the last hour. “The buying of Southern Pacific and the obeys * displayed by such stocks as Great Northern preferred, Northern Pacific and some of the other standard issues was a feature. “The copper shares were heavy just before the Close, but in the final trading most of the general list showed consid- erable firmness, and final prices were in any cases fractionally above yester- a y. “At times during the day most of the active shares showed good gains, the Bank Shares Active. “Unusual activity in bank shares ave rise to rumors of impending eals between prominent Wall street institutions, but there was nothing else in the newg devlopments of the day to suggest that further mergers were contemplated. “The trading that did occur in the usually inactive shares represented in f arge measure, no doubt, the ting of stocks held by estates, and in the case of one institution at least the liquidation by speculators, who several months ago accumulated considerable holdings on the suppo- sition that another grens combina- tion would be effected. “Bince the sale by the life compa- nies, however, of most of the bank shares that these concerns for years held, there has been qa gradual re- lease of the speculative holdings, with the result that the shares of some of the largest banks are today more widel istributed than has ever be- fore Seon the case with those insti- tutions, More Gold Goes Out. “Several withdrawals of gold were made for shipment to South America, the new owt for the day foot- ing up $900,000. This makes $1,660,000 gold altogether that has been taken out of New York banks this week, in payment of debts due Argentina by the markets of London and Paris. “It was evident that this movement would continue as long as the foreign banks could keep it up, as the develop- ments abroad showed plainly that the European markets had sufficient com- mitments of their own to finance with- out assuming a burden that could be conveniently shifted to this center.’’ “Numerous short-term loans were under discussion, and the market for corporation notes was broad enough to indicate that both the trust com- panies and the banks were ouying again, the chief inquiry being sti for notes having only six or 12 months to run. Some of the Wall street commission houses were bor- rowers on a moderate scale.” | eeanneeenieheeeanmenenne , 7 advance.

The trend of the grain market was upward Tuesday, despite a light spédula- tion. Wheat was influenced by higher cables, decreasing stocks in the South- western markets, expectation of crop damage reports later on, rts of a smaller interlor movement the Ar- gentine and poor quality of the offer- ings, and Hkelih of a lighter move- — to primary markets from now for- ward. Corn was forced higher, mostly on Speculative buying In Chieago, predic- tions of more unsettled weather over the belt, with a drop in temperatures, and a firmer tone in prices at Buenos Ayres, despite the movement of the new ‘ Oats were strong on manipulation, based on the expected change in the weather. The trade asserts that an- other spell of hard weather will mean serious conditions for the farmer in | ting his crop in the ground, as seed aration for seeding even now sho well forward. The buying centered the July option on this account. The wheat market in pone gy was firmly supported at the opening, with prices %d higher on the firmness ih Buenos Ayres and America, and firm- ness in Plate and Manitoba offers. Fol- lowing the opening there was a disposi- tion to realize in the ‘distant months and these declined %d4 to %d on the disappointing inquiry for cargoes, and eome profit-taking by yesterday’s buyers. Kuropean crop advices are generally fa- vorable. After the decline there was renewed covering on scarcity of spot and a further decrease in local stocks, with a confirmation of light Continental stoeks, and buyers more anxious, with Antwerp bidding for cargoes, and most of the decline was recovered. Liverpool corn opened %d higher on the American strength and firmness in Buenos Ayres. Later the market Was dull at the advance. Liverpool wheat futures closed to %d up. Corn unchanged to %d up. Buda- pest wheat ic lower; Antwerp, %c to up; Berlin %c to %e lower and Par steady. Early Argentine cables were %c to %c up and corn ¥%e to *%Cc Up. The day's statistical néws was mixed.
