GYPSIES GOLDEN S000 HOARD IS GONE: 3 MEN HELD Servians Relax Vigilance on O’Fallon Street Home, Where Tribe’s Wealth Was Kept in Bags and Sections of Fire Hose and Robbers Plunder Place. LAMENT WHILE THEY REPORT TO POLICE | | and northern Ne- Bartender and Companion Whom Policeman Hears Discussing a Division of Money Arrested and Boy, Former Roomer; Hunted. Thirty Servian gypsy men, resplen- dent with gold earrings, surged about the captain's office in the Carr Street Police Station Wednesday, imploring Capt. Schoppe to recover the stolen hoard of their tribe, amounting to about $8000 in American, French, Spanish, En- Zlish and Mexican coin. The money, with £200 worth of jewelry, was taken Tuesday night from its hiding place be- neath the bed of Melish Vlido, chief of the tribe, in his room at 1525 O'Fallon street. Policemen and detectives following the trail of the stolen gold, and of a taxi- eab’s after-midnight journey to a The- odosia avenue house, arrested William Powers, a bartender; Ben Shaw, a stack painter and steeple jack, and Cleveland Heinrichs of 1610 Biddle street, while telegrams were sent requesting the ar- rest of a fourth suspect. : ef Many Years. The police first learned of the robbery Nicholas, George and Wando Vlido, burst into the station at 1:30 a. m., and uttered the most behement lamentations. It took the policenien some time to quiet the men sufficiently to get the story of the loss of the tribal hoard—money saved through many years of horse trading and fortune telling, and never intrusted to a bank. The tribe headed by Viido has spent the winter in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and O’Falion streets. The money was kept in two canvas veedhans a piece of fire hose, riveted at & *h ends, all inclosed in a large leath © pouch, which lay under Mel- ish Vido's bed and was guarded in his absence by his wife. This vigilance was relaxed Tuesday night, when the entire family went out to a lodge meeting. On their return, long after midnight, the loss was dis- covered, When questioned as to who knew of the presence of the money under the bed, the Vlidos said it was known to a 16-year-old youth who had been living in the house until a few days ago, and who had since been sleeping in a shed, because the family had no room for him in the hqse. A visit to the premises showed that the shed was deserted. Inquiry at Union Station showed that a youth of the same appearance as the Viido'’s late lodger, had left for Cincinnati on the B. & O. Southwestern train at 1:45 a. m. Mes- sages were sent to points along the line, esking for his arrest. At 6 a. m. Patrolman Wiennecke heard two men disputing angrily as they en- tered a saloon in the neighborhood of the Vlido home. One was William Pow- ers, the bartender, just going on duty: the other was Ben Shaw. The police- man heard one say to the other, ‘‘Ain’t you going to give me but $100?" forelian Coiling Are Found. He arrested the two, and at the sta- tion Shaw was found to have in his pocket gold and silver coins which the poiice decideti were Spanish, French and Mexican, and whose value they figured as $74.5, beside $250 in United States gold coins. Powers had no foreign money, but had £212 in United States currency and had four certificates of deposit made out in his own name, aggregating $2682.25. A taxicab, in which the two had been riding, was near the scene of the ar- rest, and the chauffeur said he had just returned with them from a house on Theodosia avenue, near Goodfellow ave- nue, to which he had taken them, afte; picking them up in front of the Amer- jean Hotel at 1:30 a. m., Third Suspect Is Held. Cleveland Heinrichs of 1610 Biddle street was later arrested in Carpenter placé, on the suspicion that he had been in the taxicab with the two men. Detectives were sent to the Theodosia avenue house, and learned there that a man had called between 4 and 6 a. m., and had seen a young woman living there. A $40 gold piece was found itn a tea cup in the kitchen, and the detec. tives were told it had been left by the St. Louis’ ONE BIG Newspaper | | SNOW, COLDER AND HIGH WIND THURSDAY THE TEMPERATURES. 40 9a. m 87 12 (noon) 36 Yesterday's Temperatures, High, 73 at 12 noon.

ESSMAN ON M&O, TELLS HOW E WAS HELD UP Messenger Snoddy Forced From Car Under Guard While Safe Was Blown and Robbed. $60,000 LOSS IS REPORTED Women on Way to Mothers’ Congress Here Say They Hid Valuables in Their Hair. William Snoddy including wom- Express Messenger and several passengers, en on their way to St. Louis to attend the Mother’s Congress, told in St. Louis Wednesday the story of how their Mobile & Ohio No. 4, was held up Tues- train, and robbed near Corinth. Miss., day night. None of them could con- firm the rumor that the bandits got $60,- 000 from a safe in Snoddy’s car. The safe was wrecked by an explosive. Snoddy appeared reluctant to discuss the robbery. He said. events happened 80 quickly that he scarcely knew what was going on. Crash at Car Door. “I had no idea the train was being robbed when it stopped,” he said. “I was busy about my work and supposed some obstruction or train order had stopped it. The first I knew anything was wrong was when I heard something crash against the door of my car. Even then it was several minutes before I could understand somebody was trying to break in. “Then the door gave way and the first thing I knew a man had jumped in. He threw a revolver up and ordered me to put up my hands. He ordered me to keep still and then another man came in. “I was ordered then to leave the car. Outside one man guarded me. Another was busy in the car for several min- utes. Then he, too, came out. A min- ute later came the explosion, as the safe was forced open. “I don’t know how much money was in the car. I have been instructed by the company not to discuss the matter until I get further permission, so this is all I can say.” Conductor O’Hare, in charge of the train, left it at Cairo, Ill. Mrs. G. §S. Davis, Miss Addie Davis and Mrs. Mary Emily Connell of Columbus,,Miss., who are delegates to the women’s conven- tion, said that O’Hare gave the passen- gers the first news of the bandits. Conductor Warns Passengers. ‘“He came through the car shouting it was being held up,” Mrs. Davis said, “and advised the twenty-five or thirty passengers to hide their valuables. At first we thought he wags joking, until some of the men stuck their heads out of the windows and saw the engineer and fireman with their hands up and men guarding them with revolvers. Then we began hiding our valuables in our shoes and hair. We were surprised when the train moved.on again and the ban- dits hadn’t visited us.”’ J. J. Hovell of Avon, Ill., said women put jewels in their stockings and hid them in their hair, while the men slipped their purses under seats and into every available niche. The safe in the express car was wrecked beyond repair, the whole front being torn away. Officials believe nitro- glycerine was used for the blast. Win- dows in the car were shattered and ex- press packagés broken open by the force of the explosion. Nobody Knew when the bandits board- ed the train. Two of them crawled over the tender, and, with revolvers. compelled the engineer and fireman to stop at a point seven miles south of Corinth. After they had looted the safe they ran into the dense underbrush odDf the Tuscumbia River bottom. Bloo4- hounds were put upon their trail Wednesday.

MAGAZINES HELD UP Witness Says: 3 Carloads Were Detained After Postage Had Been Paid. Attorneys for E. G. Lewis on trial in the United States District Court on a charge of using the mails to defraud in the sale of securities of his Univer- city City conporations cross-examined Francis V. Putnam, former treasurer of the companies, at length Wednesday as to Lewis’ troubles with the postoffice department in 190 and 1907. Putnam testified that many persons who subscribed for the notes and stock of the ecorporations wrote letters to Lewis expressing sympathy for him in the fight with the postoffice depart- ment. District Attorney Houts repeated his objections to going into the fraud orders issued against Lewis and the People’s United States Bank in 1907 and the withdrawal of the second class mailing privileges from the Lewis pub- lications in 1907, declaring that those matters were not issues in-this case, as the alleged offenses upon whch Lewis is now being tried occurred in 1908, 1909 and 1910. Stockholders Told of Charges, Former Judge Barclay succeeded in getting into the record the statement of Putnam that he, Lewis and F. J. Cabot, who was a director of the Lewis corporations, were indicted in 1905 and again in 1907, and that postoffice in- spectors sent circulars announcing these facts to 18,000 stockholders in the Lewis corporations. He testified also regarding the hold- ing up of three car loads of Lewis’ mag- azines by the postoffice department after the postage had been paid. That also occurred in 1907, he said. He testi- fied also to an investigation of the subscription records of the Lewis Pub- lishing Co. made by the Fettis Commis- sion, at the request of Lewis in 1907. Putnam was asked if the building of a subway from University City to the business district of St. Louis was not a material part of the plans of Lewis for the development of his University City properties, and if the purchase of the St. Louis Star was not made for furthering the subway scheme. Putnam said he understood that Lewis purchased the Star for the purpose of using it to get a franchise for a subway. District Attorney Houts, who is prose- cuting the Government’s case against Lewis, asked Putnam whether Lewis had ever applied to the city of St. Louis for a subway franchise. Putnam said he did not know that any application had ever been made for a franchise. Notes Not Patd. Relative to the 7 per cent notes of the Lewis Publishing Co., Putnam testified that about $502,000 of them had been actu- ally paid in money or transferred into other holdings of the Lewis corporations. Something over $1,000,000 worth of the notes were never paid, he said. When he severed his connection with the Lewis Publishing Co. in 1910, Put- nam said he had drawn a number of checks to pay off notes that had been sent in for payment. There was no money in the bank to pay the checks, he said, and they were held up, but the notes were sent to the St. Louis County Land Title Co. for cancellation He said ii was expected that the money to pay the checks. would come in when thev- were written. The value of the land mortgaged to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. for $400,000 was $1,500,000 in excess of t} mortgage, Putnam testified. The fact that the value exceeded the mortgage by so great a sum, he said, made the income or unsecured notes sold to 'n- vestors by Lewis on order for first mortgage notes a good investment. Had 3000 Investors. About 3009 persons invested in the 7 per cent notes of the Lewis Publishing Co., Putnam said, and the same num- ber bought the 6 per cent notes of the University Heights Realty and Develo-- ment Co. Putnam was put on the stand Mor- day afternoon by District Attorney Houts, and was on the stand the en- tire day Tuesday. In his cross-examination Putnam tes- tified that Edward Gruenner, a rea) es- tate expert of the Mercantile Trust Co., made an appraisal of section 4 of 1 n{- versity City and fixed the valuation ¢t $354,000. On redirect examination District Ar. torney Houts brought out the fact from Putnam that Lewis placed mortgages t, the amount of $526,000 on this piece of land, and that @ third mortgage for $236,000 was the only security behin7 certain of the notes issued to investors on their subscriptions for first mortgage there two years ago, and it is believed he Government of Nicaragua of a to death, nouncement was made here today of a Mrs.E.R.

The TRUST EVIDENG NV WATERS PIERCE ST COMPETENT Judge Kinsey’s Ruling Will Ad- mit Testimony Charging Standard Oil Plot. In the mandamus suit of the Rocke- feller interests to gain control of thz Waters Pierce Oil Co. it is competent as a defense for the Waters Pierce Co. to submit proof that Rockefeller and his associates are seeking to perpetuate the Standard Oil monopoly through iIn- dividual control of the corporations for- merly owned by the Standard, accord- ing to a decision handed down by Judge Kinsey of the St. Louis Circuit Court, Wednesday. Judge Kinsey’s decision was on the motion of the Standard Oil attorneys to strike out of the Waters Pierce an- swer all allegations relating to a con- spiracy In restraint of trade. Judge Kin- sey ordered the Waters Pierce lawyers, however, to make their charges more specific with reference to the alleged et- forts of the Rockefeller interests to get contro! of the local corporation for the purpose of making it a member of the combination. : He ordered three paragraphs of the return stricken out because, he said, they contained mere conclusions of law and not facts. The mandamus suit was filed to com- pel the tellers at the recent Waters Pierce election to count the ballots ten- dered by the Standard Oil interests for Robert W. Stewart, Charles W. Mayer and Charles M. Adams for directors of the company. The Rockefeller inter- ests had planned to oust Pierce as chair- man of the board of directors of the company, and his son as president, and elect men known to be friendly to Stan- dard (41 interests.

Mrs. Carson was well supplied with funds, and it seems certain that re- morse for her actions in endeavoring tn evade the customs laws, and the hu- miliation of having to appear in court, caused the woman to end her life. Two notes were found in the room, one of which was addressed to her attorney, Harrison, Osborn, and the other to Paul R. Maybury, 919 West Twenty- eighth street, Los Angeles, The letter to Osborn follows: “4 a. m.—My Dear Mr. Osborn—My brother’s address is Paul R.

She confessed to the custom house authorities yesterday that she had attempted to smuggle into the country a pair of diamond ear rings worth several thousaad dollars. In the San Francisco city directory there is no such name as Blanche Car- son and the address she gave is ficti- tious. When she arrived Monday she de- clared some loose pearl» at a valuation of $800. They seemed undervalued, so the inspectors confiscated them and or- dered her to appear before Surveyor Henry. She called at the Surveyor’s office yesterday afternoon and seemed panic-stricken. She said: — “T will confess that these unstrung pearls are not the only gems I have. I also have a pair of diamond earrings which I concealed in the lining of my hat. I was told that the duties col- lected here were excessive. I thought that I ought not to pay excessive du- ties. I regret what I have done. I am willing to tell all and to give up every- thing I have purchased for valuation. I am willing to pay that duty.” Gives Up $20,000 Jewels, Surveyor Henry informed the woman he would have to order her arrest.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 20.—It 1s hardly probable that charges of heresy will be filed against the Rev. Dr. M. H. Lichliter, pastor of the Maple Avenue Methodist Church in St. Louis, at the Methadist conference which began this morning in the Grand Avenue Temple. Leading members of the conference said as much yesterday and Dr. Lichliter said he had assurances that there was no ground for conference action. Recently Fred J. Gould of St. Louis, heard Dr. Lichiiter preach. He objecet- ed to some of the minister's views and wrote a letter to Bishop William A. Quayle in which he said that Dr. Lich- liter’s remarks smacked strongly of heresy. Dr. Lichliter only smiled at Gould's charges when seen. He delivered a lecture at the Grand Avenue Temple last night. “I do not anticipate any conference action on Mr. Gould’s charges,’ said the minister. “Obviously there is a dif- ference between an informal personal complaint and a formal charge of here- sy. Mr. Gould is not a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his letter to Bishop Quayle, based upon ohne paragraph in the one address he heard me. give, will hardly have any weight with the conference. “His letter is certainly a violation of good taste. There are enough men in the Methodist Episcopal Church to vin- Gicate its doctrine and defend its stand- ards when necessary without the inter- vention of a member of another de- nomination. “I have no argument as to the origi- nal matter. I was quoted correctly. No defense is necessary. The distinction between the modernist and the tradi- tionalist in religion is not one of doc- trine, but attitude of mind.’’ FOREST PARK DRIVES WILL BE REBUILT New Roads Are to Be Con- structed From Memorial to Art Museum. Park Commissioner Davis is having plans prepared for the reconstruction of the driveways and pavements at the De Baliviere entrance to Forest Park utilizing the main drive through the Jefferson Memorial. This structure wil! be completed in a short time and will make necessary a readjustment of the contour of the adjoining section of the park. The present roadways and sidewalks will be torn up and new roads will be constructed leading from the memorial to the Art Museum. Several thousand dollars will be spent in beautifying the grounds.

Swarts in resigning from the Hospital Board. ; Swarts criticised the House in general and Hale in particular because four bills providing for improvements in the city institutions had been killed by filing in the House. One of these was a bill to increase the salary of the superinten- dent of the city sanitarium. Hale writes that he and, other mem- bers of the House were amazed to find in this bill a clause making the other provisions applicable only to a man with five years’ experience. This, he says, would have made the position a perpet- ual charge for one man, as no other person in the city would have the nec- essary experience. Amazed at $50 Pay. In regard to the bill for increasing the salaries of hospital supervisors from $30 to $50 a month, Hale writes. ‘“Candor compels me to say [ am amazed that you should believe com- petent supervisors could be employed for $50 a month.” The proposed increase, he says, would add $14,300 to the annual hospital payroll withuut appreciable benefit to.the insti- tution. The committee and the House, be a wiser plan to employ a good alienist with a consulting staff, than to increase the pay of internes. Another bill killed by the House was that providing for a hospital board junket of inspection of Eastern hospi- tals for the treatment of contagious dis- eases. Hale considered the expense of such a trip out of all proportion to the good it would do, he says. Hale says in his letter that the House passed bills providing for student nurses, graduate nurses, supervisors of nurses and dietitions. “Yet I am surprised,”’ he writes, ‘‘at the information given me by the Hospital Commissioner last Sat- urday that not a single dietition has been appointed yet.” “Might ax Well ’Fess Up.” In conclusion he tells Swarts the Hos- pital Board might as well ‘fess up its incompetency.”’ Swarts had two years to serve on the board. Three other members whose terms will expire April 15 are Dr. John B. Shapleigh, Dr. W. John Harris and Dr. Ralph Thompson.

JONES PLEADED FOR HIM Upon Circuit Attorney’s Judge Shield’s Recommenda- tion the Prisoner Was Freed. and After serving one year and one month of a two years’ sentence for perjury, John (Heavy) Connors of St. Louis has been paroled by Gov. Hadley. Under the terms of the parole Connors will be under the guardianship of Delegate John Lahiv, who will be responsible for his conduct. Connors entered the penitentiary Feb. 17, 1911, following his conviction in the Criminal Court in connection with the shooting of Patrolman John Hutton by Cornelius Sullivan at the West End Physical Culture Club, Twenty-second street and Washington avenue, Jan. 17, 1909. Swore He Was Intoxicated. At Sullivan's trial Connors swore that he was at the club but was so intoxicat- ed that he knew nothing of the shooting. George Brazier, 8 years old, who sang at the club, testified that Connors was one of the leaders of the attack on Po- liceman Hutton. On this testimony Con- nors was convicted of perjury. Sullivan, who shot Hutton, was pa- roled about six months ago on the repre- sentation that he was dying of consump- tion. Connors was implicated with Sullivan after an attack on Miss Anzette Mc- Donald, a department store model, Nov. 21, 1906. Miss McDonald was forcibly taken from an Olive street restaurant by two men, who put her in a carriage and drove her to the North End Demo- cratic Club, 3408 North Broadway, where they kept her a prisoner all night. Sentenced to Five Years. When the case came up for trial Miss McDonald did not appear and _ the charge against Connors was dropped. To escape prosecution on the charge of abducting Miss McDonald, Sullivan, al- ready convicted of shooting Hutton, pleaded guilty to an election fraud charge and was sentenced to five years. Connors was arrested several times but was never convicted except on the per- jury charge. He was reputed to be a member of the Bottoms Gang. A dispatch from Jefferson City Wednesday told that Connors was pa- roled on the recommendation of Circuit Attorney Jones and an indorsement from Judge Shields. The Circuit Attorney in a letter to the Pardon Attorney stated that while it was true that Connors was guilty of perjury yet the evidence showed that he was drunk when the crime was committed and probably had no clear ideas in the premises. Pleaded for Him. He also stated “that no good purpose can now be served by forcing this young man to serve full time.’’ He added that Connors is about 30 years old, lived all his Hfe in St. Louls and was never in any previous trouble. Judge Shields indorsed the Circuit At- torney's letter with a notation that he would recommend the parole, condi- tioned that Connors was to be paroled to some responsible person. Circuit Attorney Jones Wednesday said that he wrote a letter to Jugde Shields saying that he would not oppose a rec- ommendation for a parole for Connors. This was in response to a letter written to Jones by Judge Shields after Connors’ friends had asked for clemency. Jones wrote to the Judge that Connors was intoxicated the night of the Hutton shooting, and that he had never been in serious trouble before. In making this statement, Jones said, he did not con- sider the charges made by Miss Mc- Donald, as investigation at the time convinced him that her story of abduc- tion and mistreatment was untrue.

Onslaught on Mountain Strong- hold Expected When Position Is Determined.

Allens Post Warning to Keep Out of Hills. HILLSVILLE, Va., March 20. HIRTY of the Allen outlaws $9 and their followers held a two-hour conference’ within three miles of Hillsville yesterday afternoon. It was decided to fight to the finish and not to yield either to the Virginia or Federal author- ities. The following notice, scrib- bled in pencil on a sheet of coarse brown wrapping paper, was posted on a tree, a mile from Hillsville, on the public road: dé O those who have made it a their business to concern: ‘“‘We have plenty of arms and bullets. We know how to use them. These hills is an unhealthy place for strangers to visit. Re- member this. You kin git us in the end, maybe, but we will git you first.’’

By Associated Press. HILLSVILLE, Va., March 2.—Dawn today found Virginia detectives and possemen surrounding and preparing to assault another mountain stronghold in which the Carroll Courthouse mur- derers are thought to be at bay. Chest- nut Ridge, a spur of the Blue Ridge Mountains just five miles from the home of Floyd Allen, is supposed to be the hiding places of the outlawed clans- men this time. Gathered there today were the posses uho had been guarding the roads, rein- forced by every available man from Hillsville, just arrived after an all- night ride. The leaders expect to try to take the fugitives as soon as their ex- act position has been determined. News that the Allens had slipped out of their digcovered refuge at Squirrel’s Spur and reached Chestnut Ridge was brought to Hillsville last night by a mounted messenger. Immediately after- ward Detective Felts, leader of the “searchers, galloped off for Chestnut ‘fiidge at the head of a band which in- cluded even the men who had been in the saddle all day. Sidna Allen is said to have been seen yesterday afternoon making his way down the trail from Squirrel’s Spur, and i- is helleved he reached the Chestnut Kidge section with the rest of the men wanted. People here think that, but for their refusal to desert Sidna, whose wounds prevent him from undertaking a jour- ney of any length, the younger mem- bers of the garg before this would have made their way through the hills and started West.

HILLSVILLE, Va., March 20.—With his eyes filled with tears, Jack Allen, brother of Floyd and Sidna Allen, whose entry into Hillsville yesterday after- noon caused excitement, especially among the women, asked the Post-Dis- patch correspondent to say he had noth- ing to do with the courthouse tragedy last Thursday, when five persons were killed, When Jack Allen rode horseback be- side Lee Feltz, the detective, women on the porches of their homes fled in- doors. Allen rode calmly up the streets, tipping his hat to the women and wav- ing his hands to the men he knew. A few minutes later Mrs. Sidna Allen and the Rev. Garland Allen followed.

When Mrs. Ida Maynard Jenkins of 1415 East Broadway, Eust St. Louis, learned Wednesday that her father had decided to prosecute her husband for bigamy, she told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that she would champion her husband's cause. “I will not help prosecute him,” she exclaimed. “I love him as much as I] did on the day we were married, and I am going to stand by him.”’ Jenkins was arrested in Indianapolis, Ind., several days ago, and was taken to St. Louls Tuesday. His first visitor Wednesday night was Mrs. Ida May- nard Jenkins, his second wife. Their interview then was private. When the news of what the woman had said Wednesday was taken to the pris- oner by the 2reporter. Jenkin’s . face brightened. Hopes for a Chance. “That means I have a fighting chance,’” was his only comment. Jenkins was married to the second wife, the daughter of R. C. Maynard, Jan. 8, 1911. They lived at her father's home until the first of February when they went to housekeeping at 2009 St. Louis avenue, East St. Louis.

Jenkins went out and talked to them several minutes. When he re- turned he appeared to be uneasy and finished his meal in silence. He went away, telling his wife he would be back in the evening. Arrested in Indianapolis. He did not return. Several days passed without news from him. Then Mrs. Jenkins returned to the home of her parents where she has remained ever since. Her father investigated. Then he obtained a warrant charging Jenkins with bigamy. He was arrested at the home’ of a sister, Mrs. Sarah Barthelmew, 729 Fletcher avenue, Ind- janapolls. Eli Jenkins, the husband, admitted Wednesday that he had been married twice, but said he thought his first wife had obtained a divorce. The first wife was Miss Josie Rain. They were married tn East St. Louis, April 24, 1904, when Jenkins was 19 years old and the bride was 18. He says they had lived together for only a week when they separated. Once Sued for Divorce. He once filed suit for divorce, he said, but was compelled to be out of the city when the case came up for trial. He knew she was in St. Louls at the home of a sister, but he was unable to find her. A friend told him some time ago that she had divorced him and had mar- ried again. Mrs. Jenkins No. 2 ts a dark-eyed, dark-haired young woman of 22.

LAW PROHIBITING FIGHT AFTER AUTO ACCIDENTS UPHELD Judge Withrow Rules in Case of Killing of Negro at West End of Eads Bridge.

The constitutionality of the Missouri felonious flight law of 1911 is sustained by a decision handed down Tuesday by Circuit Judge Withrow in the case of St. was In an automobils driven by Ernest M. west approach of Eads Bridge Oct. 14. Kneedler is charged with felonious flight because he ordered Combs to “hurry on and get away from here.” Attorneys for Kneedler made a motion to have the information quashed on the ground that the law was unconstitu- tional because it compelled a.man to testify against himself in stopping and giving his name. The contention of the State was that this was not true, be- cause in merely identifving himself, as ihe law requires, a man does not give information touching culpability. In overruling the motion Judge With- row said common humanity dictated the duty of a man to stop and identify himself after a person had been injured by an automobile. Similar Case Pending. A similar motion is pending in Judge Rassieur’s court in the case of Isaac N. Brown, whose automobile is alleged to have injured Herbert Kurt of 6247 Mag- nolia avenue, in Tower Grove Park, the night of Oct. 6, 1911. Kurt's bicycle was struck with such force that the lamp of the automobile was broken. The auto- mobile was driven rapidly away but a bystander saw the number, which was found later to correspond to that of Brown's machine. The lamp of his ma- chine was found to be broken and fragments of glass found at the scene of the accident fitted it. Brown was in- dicted several weeks later.

GIRL TRUANT ENDS. LIFE; ANOTHER, SENI HOME, TRIES 10 Dit Student, 14 Years Old, Kills Self With Poison Kept in Home for Five Years. OTHER GIRL TURNS ON GAS a_i.

Fondness for Low-Necked Dressss and Diamonds Causes Teachers to Expel Her. One St. Louis girl, 14 years, took her life because she had played truant from school, Tuesday, and another girl of the same age attempted to kill herself be- cause she had been sent home from school. Lured by the spring sunshine, Irma Ford of 3010 Vine Grove avenue, pro- posed to her chum, Helen Kelley, that they remain away fron. the Ashland School and spend the afternoon roller skating. Threat Taken as Joke. When they separated at 5 p. m. Irma said to her companion: ‘‘When I get home I am going tv kill myself. I don’t want to be punished for playing hookey.”’ Helen Kelley thought Irma was jok- ing. Irma went home and took from a closet a bottle of strychnine which her father had bought nearly five years ago to poison a dog. She went to her room, took the poison and called her mother. Dr. William Standing of 3021 North Newstead avenue, tried in vain to save the girl’s life. She died half an hour later after asking her mother’s forgive- ness for running away from school. Sarah Bean, 14 years old, of 2926A Mad- ison street, after being sent home from the Patrick Henry School turned on two gas jets and lay down on a lounge in her room. She was found half con- scious by her cousin, Harry Gould. The girl came from Poland six months ago. Her name was Grutzmacher, but she changed it to Bean, the name being more easily ppropnounced. Fondness for school and for good clothes were characteristic of her, ac- cording to her aunt, Mrs. Esther Nie- man, with whom she lived. Without her aunt’s knowledge she would deck herself out with the family jewelry, before starting to school each morning. Barred for Low-Necked Dresses. Several times recently she had: been sent home from school because she ap- peared there wearing diamonds and a low-necked dress. For this reason she was sent home Tuesday. After it had been discovered that she turned on the gas, she fled from the house and was captured an hour later, several blocks from her home. She ig in the city hospital observation ward.

Struggles Against It for 15 Min- utes in Palm Beach Surf. _ PALM BBACH, Fia., March 2.—John Jordan of Buffalo, a guest of William J. Conners, his brother-in-law, was at- tacked while bathing by a large turtle, and for 15 minutes, while he tried to de- fend himself, was threatened with in- jury or death by drowning. He escaped with bites on the arms and legs, which are not considered serious. Jordan entered the water alone in front of the Conners tent and was ewimming 200 feet from shore when the turtle rose under him, striking at him with its head. Jordon climbed to the turtle’s back and, using his feet as a eadder and holding to the “flippers, steered it toward shore. Japanese serv- ants rushed out with a clothes line, forming a noose, which they got over the turtle’s head. The turtle measured 5% feet in diameter.

GUILLOTINE invaded the Browns’ camp today, disguised as Presi- The ‘‘Colonel’’ comes here to lob the heads of have proved they are unfit for duty in the big ring. Who the unlucky ones are is a matter of conjecture; but at least eight of the present crop will be relegated to the discard before many more days. Wallace has four first-sackers and an- other man who is trying desperately to forsake the first sack for a catcher’s job. Two of these—Danzig and Ten- nant—surely will hear the rattle of the tin can, while Mr. Miller, the young col- legian from Pennsylvania, will be either held or farmed out for the coming sea- son. Miller gives great promise. George Stov..l) is a 1 to 10 shot in the betting at present, and unless George breaks an arm or a leg he will guard the initial cushion this summer. Joe Kutina will require months of practice before he ever will round to as a catch- er, and there is every indication that Joe already is eager to give up the ghost and return to his favorite trade of first-sacking. As a catcher he has shown little, although Wallace keeps him working with‘the mitt and mask as much as possible. That Wallace is sorely in need of an- other catcher was emphasized yester- day, when Paul Krichell pulled up with a lame back and was forced to remain at the hotel during the afternoon. That jeft Wallace with Jimmy Stephens as his only receiver, and, as @ last resort, Manager Bob called on Lou Criger, the andient, who went on the job and did | « tetter than most youngsters could do. Kutina is so far from being a catcher that Wallace seldom calls on him in an actual game. Joe's chief duty now is lo warm up the pitchers, which he does with indifferent success. richell’s burt is not serious, but on "nage xn of Doc. Lawler Paul did not don his suit yesterday afternoon. Lawler says

Local Magnates Will Decide Spring Series Date Thursday at Noon HAT spring series game of T Saturday is as good as called off, if the weather man makes good on his guess at Thursday's conditions. “Snow tonight and colder,’’ ag announced Wednesday- day, will supply precisely the con- ditions that, according to agree- ment, will result in the postpone- ment of the game set for March 23. Before Hedges departed for Mont- gomery, Ala., he reached an agree- ment with Secretary Seekamp that if the weather at Thursday noon was unfavorable the opening would be put off one week anc the teams continue training in the South. The series will then be started on

March 3.

Krichell will probably be ready to work again Thursday. Wallace's decision to play Eddie Hallinan at short in the coming series with the Cardinals probably means that the Scot's career as an active player is nearing an end. Wallace has not stepped down for good, nay, perish the thought. But he has stepped down for the present. Roderick is reaching that age where he finds it a tedi- ous task to get in shape early in the spring and he is happy in the thought that‘in Hal-

linan he has an able lieutenant. ‘Austin, “the Pepper Kid,” Gingers Up the Browns With Wares’ Help 4 ’ and if the Frisco boy Fi ALILANAN is a much improved ball player, but Eddie _etill has much to learn. However, the manager be- that Eddie will deliver this season lieves does, then its curtain ‘a career. ae es oe of Jimmy Austin yester- day had a wholesome effect on the Brown equad. Austin has more pepper than all the rest of the team combined. His only rival is Clyde Wares, the clever little short stop, who is always ‘‘talking it up. cayee is a hustler much after the Austin type. Tom Tennant is a talkative person, but Tom in more of a comedian than ball player. He gets many & laugh but nary a hit. Austin jumped into the breach at third and proved by his actions that he has been working out somewhere in or around Cleve- land. Jimmy cut loose with his throws and danced around in mid-season form, much to the delight of his team manager, who is keen to cop the spring series from the Rogues of Roger. Speaking of the spring series, it is pertinent to remark that Waliace strongly opposes a return home Thursday night unless the weather conditions there are favorable to a ing camp here for a frigid climate in St. Louis. The Yannigans hoodwinked the Regu- lars, 4 to 3, im a short game yesterday afternoon. The bout went seven rounds, the winning run being negotiated at the expense of Bill Balley, who is trying to do what Jeffries didn’t do at Reno. Bailey is siated for release, ag he is as hopeless as ever. He lacks pepper, which is the first essential of a big leaguer. Then he absolutely refuses to work. He's the only pitcher whose fate seems sealed. Lefty Frill is nursing a lame knee, which was injured in a collision with a liner off Joe Kutina’s bat. Frill is keep- ing Krichell company in the hospital. Manager Chance of the Cubs will not coun- tenance a trade of Heine Zimmerman for Mike Mowrey, the holdout Cerdinal third baseman. When asked for his views on the proposed trade today, Chance replied: ‘‘I'm not after Mowrey. He’s a holdout, whereas Zimmerman is signed for three years. I've had enough of holdout plavers.’ Chance is in town with his entire squad

E°%a a2; —=~ THEY’RE ALL TO THE BAD. HE ‘personal contact’’ sports are always getting into hot water. It’s no use trying to get by with it—when- ever a reformer sees a nose bleed a law or a rule is bound to be changed. Box- ing is only now beginning to get a toe- ho'd on the map, after long harrying, and they're still not through tinkering with the college football game. The latest to come under advisement of the reconstructor is water polo. It is naw believed that this distinctly American game will be completely wiped out, after the present season, owing to the Battle of Pittsburg Pool, where the tank ran red ‘with the results of too frequent personal contact between Chi- cago and New York players. * * . GOOD RULES, BAD REFEREE, S usual, the criticigm is al} due not to the rules, but the incompetent enforcement of them. M. A. C. players who were not interested in the game, but who were present, state that no such scene could have occurred had the referee enforced the rules. - ~ - HARVEYIZED PROTECTION. OWEVER, the American game of water polo is not what one might call passive. It’s played by young men of notable tonnage, equipped with unusual horse power. Thirteen-inch armor is recommended for uniforms; and if diving apparatus can be worn in addition, all the better. A set of rubber, nonsaturable, self-drain- ing lungs is useful at all times, while a knowledge of the strangle hold, the knockout punch and the “‘come on down with me’’ clutch are essential. N. B.— It may be remarked here that the knock- out punch, in this form of naval warfare, is commonly alluded to as a ‘submarine soak.”’

WHAT HAPPENS UNDER WATER. T can be geen that, even though the referee observes due caution in the en- forcement of the laws governing the game, it is impossible to prevent a few hard knocks being euffered in the dourse of en- gagements. When the chief method of at- tack consists in taking an opponent to the bottom of the tank and relaying him there to find if it takes two or three min- utes to half-drown him, there is sure to be something doing which the referee may not perchance see. Twelve feet of murky water can be opaque as milk, at times. = + . NO MARTYRS AT M. A. C. T is even told of the Missouri Athletic Club team that the danger of its de- cline is that it cannot get any men to practice against it. For, while there is glory in being half-killed for a champion- ship, there is none in playing the tackling dummy for the fellow that’s out to win the title. a. . 7 A TAME CONTEST, NGLAND has a water polo game. but E it’s different from the American one. In the first place, scoring goals and not drowning an opponent is one of the prime objects of thé English sport. Over there they advance the ball by throwing it instead of by swimming with it. The American game is a much better one, in principle, as the swimmer carries the ball, just as the rusher in college football. . > . COLLEGE GAME IS BEST. HE intercollegiate swimmers have a bet- ter game than the English compromise between the present A. A. U. sport and the British idea. Goals scored by carry- ing the ball count 5; scores made by pasesing the ball count but 2. This is the game that will eventually be adopted by the Rules Committee. If the championship now held by the M. A. C. and left in doubt by the flasco of Pittsburg is played off. it will probably be the last under the present rules. Probably even the most ardent of the rough-house school will be glad when the old game is gone. A few pretend to think that any alteration would be a confession of a namby-pamby spirit. However that may be, to the man on the outside 4-lookin’ in, there’s nothing mamby-pamby about wanting to change & sport chat requires a life-saving wew at every tank. ————-—.-—_. Hans—Sunday night.

122-Pound Champion Contract for $50,000 - LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 20. NE of the biggest gambles ever made on a professional boxer was recorded last night, when Promoter Tom McCa- rev telegraphed Johnny Kilbane, now in Cleveland, offering the world’s featherweight champion $50,000 for a two years’ contract, calling for the exclusive rights to the services of Kilbane and _ his manager, Jimmy Dunn, during this time, “If the proposition is accepted I will require that Kilbane box not only Abe Attell, but as many high- class featherweights as I may de- velop,” explained McCarey. ‘In addition, I would ask Johnny to fill stage engagements and take the principal part in several moving acts I have on hand. He would have to keep moving pretty lively for two years, but then $50,000 is a lot of money.’’

| ns Kid Farmer and Leo Kelly will box eight rounds at the Irish-American Ath- letic Club, Wednesday night, the men making 135 pounds. The contest should be especially interesting as showing whether Kelly has really improved much in the last six months, as has been claimed for him. Kelly battled Farmer at Alton, some months ago, and was outpointed. If he can reverse the decision it will be quite a feather in the cap of the red-haired lad from St. Louis, - Farmer has fought 300 battles in his time, and is an in-and-outer of the pro- nounced type. He is apt at any time to turn the tables on an opponent who may own a knockout over him. In. fact, Farmer has taken the count over a dozen times and has afterwards beaten several of the men who stopped him. Farmer is an old head, experienced, and may chop Kelly steadily throughout the fight. That he will not hurt the tough Irishman goes without saying. Three preliminaries arranged are as fo}- lows: Johnny Kelly pounds. Cotton pounds. Lloyd Carter vs. Otto Semf, both former wrestlers. All of the preliminaries will be scheduled for six rounds. GOOD SPORT DUE IN DUAL TRACK EVENTS While the St. Louis University entries outnumber thoge of Central Y. M. C.

The Howard & Bullough team is made up of employes of that firm's tool factory in Pawtucket and was the first New England to win the American cup since 1894, when it was captured by the Olympics of Fall River. The H. & B. team has been in the cup contest for three years. They were in again this year. but were beaten last Sat- rday anti put out of the cup contest. The Soccer Guide of 1911 says: ‘**That the H. & B.’s were lucky in drawing several home games in the competition cannot be denied. Only once, in the first round, were they drawn to travel.” MATHEWS BATTERS DALY IN SPRINGFIELD FIGHT SPRINGFIELD, Mo., March 20.—Pierce Mathews of St. Louis added another light- weight scalp to his victory belt last night when he outpointed Tommy Daly of Buffalo in seven rounds before the Springfleld A.

|M. A.C. Polo Cham pions to Defend Title at Home Local Club Is Planning to Stage Monster Aquatic Meet in Con- nection With A. A. U. Title Game.

The Missouri Athletic Club water polo team still retains the A. A. U. cham- pionship, despite the disagreeable end- ing of the tournament involving the title in the Pittsburg A. A. tank last week, and may have a chance to defend their honors in a monster aquatic carnival planned in St. Louis in April. The M. A. C. officials want to stage a water meet at the Crystal pool if the A. A. U. decides that the games f01 the championship are to be replayed, the local club will likely file an appll- cation for a sanction to hold the water polo games in connection with the other events. Besides the M. A. C., teams of the Chicago A. A. and New York A. © had entered the polo championship meet in Pittsburg. The M. A. C. team drew a bye and the Chicago and New York teams mixed last Friday night. According to members of the M. A. C. team who have returned to St. Louls, the Cc. A. A. teams deserved to win. -Hawever. because of an incompetent referee, the Windy City men piled up a total of five goals. The M. A. C. men declare that at least four of these were illegal. The N. Y. A. C. men pro- tested and a free-for-all in the water re- sulted. Men Ordered From Tank. The game was declared to be no contest and the men were ordered from the tank. The Pittsburg A. A., which staged the meet, refused to have anything more to do with the championships. However, the M. A. C. men asked that they be permitted to give an exhibition. to show how the game should be played. Accordingly an exhibition between the M. A. C. and C. A. A. teams was put on. The Chicagoans won by the score of 5 to 90, al- though the title did not hinge on this con- test. Everett Brown, president of the Central A. A. U., on his return to Chicago, an- nounced that the Chicago team had won the A. A. U. championship by defeating the M. A. Cc. gtx. The understanding before the game was that the championship was not at stake, according to the M. A. C. men and Secretary Sullivan's plan to investigate the matter verifies this fact. Newcomb Will File Report. Norton Newcomb, @ member of the M. A. Cc. Athletic Committee, accwmpanied the swimmers to Pittsburg and will probably be the man to file the report with Secretary nnn

A. A. U. Moguls Plan To Thresh Out Row Over Water Polo Meet NEW YORK, March 2. CCORDING to James E. Suili- A van, secretary of the National Amateur Athletic Union,. the Championship Committee of that_or- ganization will make a thorough investigation of the mixup in con- nection with the water polo cham- pionship in Pittsburg last week. “IT have asked the Missouri A, C., Chicago A. A., New York A. C. and Pittsburg A. A. to file with me as chairman, a complete report of just what happened,” said Secre- tary Sullivan. ‘‘When that informa- tion is in my hands as chairman, the committee will either hold a meeting or take a mail vote on the entire matter.”’

Sullivan. The M. A. C. swimmers regard Mr. Brown's statement that the C. A. A. team now holds the championship because of its victory in an exhibition game, as a huge joke. If the A. A. U. grants a sanction to the M. A. C. to stage the water polo champion- ship here, efforts will be made to bring on the Chicago and New York teams. That a ccmpetent referee will be selected to han- dle the games goes without saying. —————_ @-- -—-- | Tips and Cues John Horgan, national three-cushion cham- pion, has returned to St. Louis and will take up practice immediately for his coming match with John Daly of New York.

SSS. OLD SOE Every old sore is due to the ulceration of flesh tissues. The superficial abrasion or opening may have come as the result of a scratch, burn, cut, or some other wound, but the place remains open and of a chronic nature because the tissues and flesh aibres beneath the skin are in an unhealthy condition from a polluted blood supply. Even if it were possible to subdue the ulcera- tion of the flesh and produce an antiseptic and cleanly condition of the sore with medicines a plied to the external opening, such treatment could not bring about any permanent curative results. Deep down in the blood there is a continual cause at work to prevent the place from healing. If we expect a permanent cure it is not which must be cleansed.

=- ON hat’s The Matter With Your Baby?

The young mother—and many an old one, too—is often puzzled to know the cause of her child’s ill nature. The loudness of its cxyying does not necessarily indicate thé seriousness of its trouble. It may have nothing more the matter with it than a head- ache or a feeling of genera! dullness. It cannot, of course, describe its feel- ings, but as a preliminary measure you are safe in trying a mild laxative. Nine times out of ten, you will find it is all the child needs, for its rest- - Jessness and peevishness are perhaps due to obstruction of the bowels, and once that has been remedied thé head- ache, the sluggishness and the many other evideages of constipation and indigestion will quickly disappear. Don’t give the little one salts, ca- thartie pills or nasty waters, for these wil] act as purgatives, and they are too strong for a child. In the fami- lies of Mrs. J. 8. Stanley, Seymour, | Mo., and Mrs. Benjamin Lockhart, 2728 University St., St. Louis, Mo., the only laxative giver is Dr. Cald- well’s Syrup Pepsin. It has been found to answer most perfectly all the purposes of a laxative, and its very mildness and freedom from grip- ing recommend it especially for the use of children, women, and old folks generaily—people who need a gentle bowel stimulant. Thousands of Ameri- can families have been enthusiastic about it for more than a quarter of a century. : Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size), can have a sample bot- tle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing Dr. W.

ATLANTA, Ga., March 20.—Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, charged with shoot- ing her husband, Eugene H. Grace, who is not expected to live, was released on 7900 bail from jail at midnight and de- parted at 12:29 this morning for Phila- delphia, where it is said, she will visit her mother. Mrs. Grace’s bond was signed by J. J. Dain, a former deputy sheriff, and I. C. Clark, Hoth of Atlanta. Accom- panied by J@hn W. Moore and J. A. Branch, her attorneys, Mrs. Grace was driven to the terminal station. Two tickets to Philadelphia were purchased and it is understood one of Mrs. Grace's attorneys went to that city. Mrs. Grace’s only words spoken pub- licly after her release were to a friend who wished her ‘Good luck’’ on her

journey. She called back, ‘‘Thank you,” and added, “Oh! I am go happy.”

ST LOUIS FACTORY S DRESS LIK GLISH “LADIES Sculptor Writes Observations on This City on Return to Plymouth, England.

DISCUSSES LIVING COST Harry Hems, Who Installed Christ Church Reredos, Found Hat and Shoes Cheap. St. Louis tobacco factory girls dress as well as “‘born ladies’’ dress in En- giand, according to Harry Hems, En- glish sculptor, who recently returned home after Installing the reredos, or stone altar screen, in Christ Church Ca- thedral. Hems’ observations on St. Louis mat- ters are contained in an article which he contributed to a recent issue of the Western Mercury, published in Ply- mouth, England. The article is headed “The Cost of Living at St. Louis (Mo.), = Hems does not say that the cost of living in St. Louis is low, though he does say that he bought a hat and a pair of shoes as cheaply as he could have done in England. Most articles of apparel, he says, cost more than in England, but the people, he declares, are dressed bet- ter in St. Louis than in England, Great Water Drinkers, A previous article by s in the same paper alluded to the tariff, a live question in England, and thus started a controversy. Hems gives this contro- versy much attention in his second arti- cle. The remainder of the article is as follows: ‘It is the wholesome custom of the American people to rarely take anything but water (followed perchance by a cup of coffee) with their noonday meal. At the various restaurants at such times beer and spirits are practically eschewed. Water (and at St. Louis most excellent water, too) is the favorite beverage. The average American consumes a small bucket of iced aqua pura every day of his life; at some seasons of the year probably considerably more. Experience Buying Clothes. ‘My experience in the purchase of clothes during my recent six months’ residence in St. Louis was extremely limited. I bought an ordinary brown felt hat in Market street, at a shop near the railway station, a terminus which is only second in size in the whole country to the new one belonging to the Pennsylvania line in New York, this lat- ter reputed to be the largest and most costly building of that kind in the world. The cost of this hat was $1 (48 2d). I should certainly have had to give 4s 6d or 5s 6d for it in this country. ‘When the snow began to fall last November (having only tan shoes with me) I purchased a stout pair of winter boots at a store in Franklin avenue, and paid $3.50 (14s 7d) for them. This price, my shoemaker in High street, Exeter (who has seen them), tells me is about the same as he would charge here for a similar class of boot. About the same time I bought a pair of thick win- ter gloves, in Sixth street, for which the cost was half a dollar (2s 1d). At one of the immense department stores for which St. Louis is famed, I got a dozen pocket handkerchiefs, for which I gave 12 cents (6d) apiece. That comprises the whole of my purchases in the way of

personal attire. Clothing Costs More. “As a matter of fact, men’s clothes and ladies’ costumes cost far more there than they do in this country. But in spite of this, both sexes dress infinitely better than they do in England. This assertion applies to all classes of society. The average workingman almost in- variably takes off his clothes—or some of them—during the hours of labor, and substitutes overalls (these may be ob- tained for an outlay of from a half to one dollar). Hence it is that a carpen- ter, for instance, when seen in the streets going to and from his work looks like his confrere in this country does when arrayed in his church-going ap- parel. “‘As for the opposite sex, it is rare that any but a well-dressed one is seen out of doors. A large tobacco manufactory existed not far from Christ Church Ca- thedral, and when the many hundreds of girls employed there left work, on the termination of a day’s labor (at 5 p, m.) one would think, by their appearance, they were all ‘born ladies.’’ In some avocations, almost entirely monopolized by the opposite sex, ex- tremely good money is earned. The typewriters (stenographers they are termed) are much in evidence in this re- spect. Their wages vary according to position occupied. There are compara- tilyely few who cannot demand $10 (£2 1s 84) a week, and not a few, holding re- sponsible appointments, are paid sums rising as high as $30 (£6 5s). Thetr work- ing hours are seldom more than 4 a week, often much less.” He repeats the praise of St. Louis and its people which appeared in his pre- vious article, and declares that he met here “some of the most charming peo- ple I have ever been intimately asso- clated with in all my life.”

Plaintiff Tells Judge Harper Set- tled Alienation Claim and He Gets Divorce. Joseph T. Lugton obtained a divorce in Judge Shields’ court Tuesday from Louise Lugton, 3949 St. Ferdinand ave- nue, to whom he was married 35 years ago. Lugton declared that his happi- ness was shattered through learning that his wife was interested in his em- Floyer and friend, John W. Harper, foreman at the Veiled Prophet den, 2120 Walnut street. Harper recently paid Iugton $1600 in compromise of a suit for alienation threatened by Lugton, the piaintiff told the Court. Friends for Years. Lugton said he worked for Harper for 2é years as a designer and builder of floats for the Veiled Prophet’s parade in St. Louis and similar parades else- where. Their long business relations had caused them to become close friends. Mrs. Lugton’s interest in Harper was revealed to her husband, he testified, turough his finding a letter in an old waistcoat belonging to Harper in Port- land, Ore., in 1907. According to Lug- tcn, the waistcoat had been given to him by Harper to sell. Found the Letter. “At my leisure,” said the witness, ‘“‘I went through the pockets to see if there were anything of value and found the letter. It began ‘my darling sweet- heart’ and closed ‘from your true sweet- heart, Lou.’ “Although I had never suspected my wife I recognized it as her writing,” he added. Lugton returned to St. Louis and con- fronted Mrs. Lugton. He said she pro- tested innocence, He, believing her, did not leave her. Nor were the cordial re- lations between him and Harper dis- turbed at that time, Lugton said. Shadowed His Wife, Subsequently Lugton’s suspicions were aroused by something he had heard and he resolved to “‘shadow”’ his wife. He said he and John A. Smith followed her, and, according to the testimony of both men, saw her enter the Vetled Prophet Den one night while Harper was there. Then the lights in the place were turned low, it was testified. Mrs. Lugton did not resist the suit.

Beadle Lumber Co., has been cleared, and the cause removed through a consultation of State health officers. Harry Olson, & foremast hand, was discovered to be the carrier of typhoid germs. Olson’s record equals that of “Typhoid Mary,’’ who spread the dis- ease wherever she went. Olson is be- 'feved to have communicated typhoid to 28 members of the crew since Aug. 10, when he entered the ship's service. Four cases were fatal. It was decided that Olson should enter the United States Marine Hospital in San Francisco to remain until all traces f the typhoid bacteria have disappeared.

Circulation Last Sunday - 308,204 THE ANTI-MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN, Health Commissioner Starkloff indorses with commendable promptness the Post-Dispatch sug- gestion that St. Louis should drive the mosquito out of her borders with the weapons which have proven so effective in Panama. . “T’am trying to get figures showing what it will probably cost us to do it,” says the Health Comutissiener. The Board of Health is in favor of it” With this good beginning, supported by the téktimony of all the St. Louisans who saw something of the beneficence of the anti-mosquito work in the canal zone during the winter, the movement ought to be carried with fine dispatch. ‘In“addition to dealing a death blow to malaria and ridding the city of a nightly pest, the anti-

In Cages reported in which St. Louis ward work- ers have been paroled, it is said that one has a local ward leader as his sponsor.

It is idle to talk of “the people” being fit to knows it. “The people”’—and by “the people” we mean the average hodcarrier, the average banker, the average mechanic, the average doctor, the average clerk, the average merchant, the average laborer, the average capitalist—‘the people” is, and always has been, and probably always will be unable to frame a constitution, “The People” has had the good sense never to attempt to frame one. It has always delegated its unques- tioned right to build its constitutions to a few chosen experts in the science and art of govern- ment. In the most illustrious example of con- stitution-making two cnillion and a half of Americans selected 55 specialists to frame the constitution of the United States. And having taken no part in framing it, ‘“‘the people” took no direct part in ratifying or repudiating it, but again delegated this function to state conven- tions, uninstructed, with full powers of delibera- tion and decision. And when a question arose as to whether the constitution needed amend- ments, the people were wise enough not to seek to determine buch a question by their own direct judgment, expressed through instructions, but left the question to their respective State legisla- tures, The same is true of the framing of every con- stitution of every state and where amendments to state constitutions are voted on by the people, Mr. Roosevelt well knows what proportion of the total vote is cast on such amendments. The American people is pre-eminently capable of self-government precisely because it has the wisdom to know its own limitations, and to leave to men of specialized knowledge and train- ing the drafting of its charters of liberty and the watch and ward over these charters. As a man who attempts to be his own lawyer has a fool for a client, so a people which attempted to frame its own constitution would have a fool for its ruler. And now comes Mr. Roosevelt with the propo- sition that the people having left the formulation of its constitutions to experts, should undertake the interpretations of its constitutions itself— that a patient, having decided that a doctor was the best person to diagnose and prescribe for him, should, when the prescription tasted bitter, arrogate to himself the analysis of the medicine to decide whether or not the dose would be ef- ficacious. Mr. Roosevelt pays a sorry compliment to the American people when he deems it capable of forsaking the wisdom of its past for the vanity of such a future. | That the people has a right to do anything which a sufficiently powerful majority desires, no one questions. It has a right to set up Budd- hism as the established religion, compulsory polygamy as a law of the land, free silver as the currency system, and the recall of judicial de- cisions as the supreme decree. But it is the glory of the people that they have the sense not to do a great many things that they have the right to do. Lincoln trusted the people because he knew that you could not fool all of them all the time: Jefferson trusted them because he knew that they would not fool themselves the better part of the time, and Roosevelt trusts them because he thinks that times have changed. i e.. he — Reports from the Ozarks indicate that some are just as pessimistic about the peach crop ia J.

This was the first state- wide presidential primary ever held in the coun- try.

The farther you get away from g. o. p. bosses and former Roosevelt appointees and the nearer to the people, the more stubborn you will find the belief in the old-fashioned tradition of two terms for the national executive. If they ever consent to depart from it, it will be concession to some man less grasping of power, less con- temptuous of reasonable and lawful restraint, less dangerous to American institutions than Mr. Roosevelt.

men on a salary basis and increase the amount they receive, but it is always killed by those men who are always creating so many high salaried city offices. for their friends.

In Defense of Virginia. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. An afternoon paper in its issue of the 18th inst. says: “Will the correspondents in Mexico pause long enough to advise all American to escape from Virginia?’ This is a sweeping indictment of the whole state, rich in history and full of noble, upright citizens. There are several hundred thousand native born Virginians and their descendants in Missouri and Illinois, and they should make a note of the terrible indictment hurled at their very flesh and blood by this St. Louls paper.

THE MOSQUITO HUNTER. Looking from the train on the Panama Railroad, the visitor occasionally sees & mosquito hunter. This gentleman is dressed much as any other hunter is dressed, and proceeds in much the same eager manner. He is looking for mos- quitoes, and, judging by his seraphic expression, he has already bagged some. At any rate, he is expectant, ventures slowly through the tall grass, and is obviously expecting to flush a covey of gallinipers with every step. The monauitoj hunter is armed in this manner: Theré*is on his back a square tin tank filled with a larvicide. This larvicide is a mixture of carbolic acid, resin and caustic soda. For a weapon the hunter carries a sprayer. The sprayer he holds ahead of him in the manner of a sportsman holding a gun. Water and moist ground are the haunts of the game, and splashing through swamps, along creeks and through an occasional morass, the hunter treats all such ground with the larvicide in which no mosquito can be born. To see the sport, and to hear what the result has been, one feels on going there as ff coming from a benighted country, even our own.

Mr. Bepler, the butcher, coming in at the side door about this time, haited at sight of the returned traveler and growled “My bill is $14.60, and if I don’t git the money by tomorrow I sue you?”’ ‘‘What’s the matter, Gus?” asked Mr. Jarr. “Is everybody crazy?’’. Mrs. Gus, appearing at the back room door, as though she had been listening at the keyhole, shook her fist at Mr. Jarr and called to Gus and Elmer to “Put that loafer out!’ Mr. Jarr sensed that whatever it was that had occurred to break up his hap- py home (although he was in complete ignorance), Gertrude had informed her admirer, Elmer, Gus’s bartender, and the whole neighborhood was in arms against, him for it. Whatever it was, he knew he was an injured and innocent man. So, draw- ing himself up proudly, he walked out, conscious that the eyes of the whole neighborhood were upon him, from old Mrs. Dusenberry, with her shawl over her head, to Mrs. Stryver peering from behind her point lace curtains. Mr. Jarr, in a quandary, made his way to the Highcosta Arms to tell his troubles to his boss.

Shipments for Month of February Break All Records for That Period. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau ef the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 20.—The Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, Says: “There was a good deal of interest- ing news today, but the interest of the market chiefly converged on the cable announcement that British coal minerg were beginning to g0 baek to work in anticipation of the compromise act in Parliament. “This was offset by the sullen declaration of the strike leaders that they wili accept from Parliament no minimum wage, except that which they themselves have named. “But we in this country are famil- iar wita such eleventh-hour irrecon- ciliables, and we are also aware, by experience, of the strong probability that when a strike, which the labor- ers and the entire community dislike, but which is maintained as a meas- ure in union politics, once begins to break up the return to work contin- ues, whatever the wesisting forces. “The London Stock Exchange hard- ly reflected this development of the day; its market was heavy—perhaps through profit-sharing, perhaps through mistrust of the parliamen- tary move itself. “Our own stock market moved up again, stocks of the coal roads show- ing special strength, but a number of other shares rising a point or more “To just what extent this was rec- ognition of the news position in the English coal dispute—which has un- doubtedly direct bearing on our own —is a matter of opinion. Money in Demand, ‘“The fact that the April settlement is now only 10 days off, made Germany re- new its bid for short-term loans in this inarket. Some large advances were made, and while serious rates were named as having been paid*for one and two months loans, it became known that certain prominent banks had, with- in the last few days, made large 30-day loans to Berlin interests at terms which will net the lenders better than 5% per cent, “These loans were for the express pur- pose of carrying the borrowers over the quarterly settlement period, and since the price paid was virtually double that bid here, it was natural for the banks to make considerable advances. “The banks made some Jarge currency remittances to interior points, and it was evident that the disbursements in- cident to the spring season, especially in the West and Southwest, were caus- ing the banks of these centers to draw down their balances at New York. ‘This the banks here did not object to, in view of the low rates for call money, although it was recognized that the demand for money here was grad- ually broadening, and that the present bank supplies, which is less than half that shown a vear ago, was largely con- centrated in the vaults of one or two institutions.’’ lkuixports Are Large. “Of home news, there was, first, the full foreign trade report for Feb- ruary, which showed, even if allow- -ing for the extra day this year, the largest exports ever recorded in the month, and an excess of exports ex- ceeding by $8,000,000 all other Febru- arys except 1909, when imports were paralyzed by after- -panic influences, “Along with this came the final census ginning estimate on the cot- ton yield, showing the remarkably high ascertained figure of 16,205,000 bales, as against a_ previous maxi- ‘mum estimate of 66,438,000, “The figure was greeted by a mod- erate rise in the price of cotton, re- flecting again the fact that last ewek's figures showed exports from the one to date nearly 2,000,000 bales above the highest record for any cor- respondin ns period, while American spinners-takings have also durin the ast few weks, surpassed all prece ent. “A rise in the price of copper to the 15-cent level, which it has not touched since the autumn of 1908, attracted much atterition, but experience has taught the markets to distrust these spectacular moves in copper. “The stee corporation’ s annual Peport passed pretty noticed; it showed little that was not known before. Net earnings for, 1911 were more than 25 per cent under 1910, a but for the abandonment of several large Geductions usually made for im- provement and reserve, the common stock dividend would not have been UNLISTED SECURITIES Corrected by pie, Alte AMpamer & Raw- lings Iav, Co. oon Sot ‘ 4 outs 3 arch , TOK eee ces = un pend. haffner & Marx i independent aca Co. complete much un-

The census report showing 16,050,000 bales ginned for the season was in line with recent predictions, but evidently proved a little arger than expected by some of yester- day’s buyers and the market eased off to about the closing figures of last night dur- ny the early trading under scattering liquida- on, It soon rallied on the unfavorable weather forecast, covering and bull support, with prices ruling some 4 to 5 points net higher. London advices on British coal strike prob- ably contributed to the firmer tone of the market during the middle of the morning ~~ a sold up to a net advance of about 7 to 10 points before midday. Offerings be- came pF around this level, but the active months held within 3 or 4 points of the best. ing was quiet during the early after- noon,~ but there was enough demand to give the market a steady tone and prices ruled 6 or 7 points over the Clesing gures of last night.

The Northwest was suffering from a severe cold wave, the temperature at Devil's Lake showing 18 degrees below zero, while Williston recorded 16 below. Spring wheat preparations are being held in check by the unusual weather, and Minneapolis prices were higher on this account. The movement of wheat to market showed signs of a sharp falling off, Min- neapolis reporting only 149 cars of wheat. against 222 last week and 171 last year. Duluth had 14 cars; last week: 34; last year 8 Winnipeg got 319, against 415 a week ago and 274 last year. Minneapolis wheat stocks decrea 170,000 bu in four days, against 40,000 bu last year. The strength in American cables and the strong close at Buenos Ayres yes- terday caused light offers at the open- ing at Liverpool, and prices were 1gd higher. The strength, however, was off- set by talk of an early settlement of rthe coal strike. Later there was heavy realizing in March, on talk of larger Argentine shipments this week, and the fact that a continental owned Rosario Rio steamer of wheat was’sold at port off call to Liverpool. This caused some pressure in the distant months in a sympathetic way, but later these months were firmly supported and the decline was recovered. Liverpool corn opened unchanged to %d higher for Plate, and later this op- tion further gained 4d. There was an improved demand for Plate parcels, which were firmly held. Liverpool wheat futures closed %d to 1%d lower, carn unchanged to 4d lower. Berlin wheat %c lower, Budapest %c lower and Antwerp ‘ec up Bradstreet’s again sucpeteed the trade by making a correction in the figures on the world’s available —e- plies of wheat issued yesterday. The total supply was made to show an increase of 361,000 bu for the week, instead of a decrease of 2,709,000 bu, as reported.
