—— PRICE ONE CENT = INQUIRY INTO SECURITIES

Connection of Banks and Com- binations of Capital Would Be Part of Disclosure.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Physical valuation of all the railroads of the United States is authorized in a bill re- ported unanimously to the House today by the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. The measure enlarges the power of the Interstate Commerce Con- mission and empowers it to make the valuation for the purpose of fixing and adjusting rates. Republicans and Democrats alike voted for the measure. It would provide for a comparative investigation into the actual value of the property of every common carrier and would authorize the commission to inquire into the stock and bond issues of all roads, the con- nection of banking corporations and can- italists, or combinations of capitalists or financial institutions with the various roads, as well as their connection with the reorganization of any common car- rier in recent years. Inquiry in 60 Days. Such an investigation would be started 60 days after approval of the measure and the commission would report to Congress at the beginning of each regu- lar session. The powers of the court would be given to the commission in the matter of compelling the production of papers, maps, profiles and records of the various companies. Short shift would be given to the rail- roads on the completion of the valuation of their property, for within 30 days after the commission filed its report, each railroad displeased with the vahia- tion would have te enter its protest or the valuation would stand. Appeals ‘rom the commission would be taken to a court of competent jurisdiction. Fines Would Be Imposed. The punitive provision would lie in fines to be imposed on carriers which refused to furnish information demand- ed by the commission. These would be fixed at $500 for every such refusal or offense, and the fine would continue at the same ratio for each day the offense was continued. Writs of mandamus could be issued, upon application of the Attorney-General, commanding the of- fending common carrier to comply with the provisions of the proposed law.

ENGINEER DIES AS HI TRAIN TRAVELS DO MILES AN HOUR While Pennsylvania train No. 11, said to be the fastest train into St. Louis, was pounding tewards St. Louis faster than 60 miles an hour Thursday. nignt, its engineer, William Larr, was dying ia the cab. As the train roared by thin tank sta- tion at Griffiths, Ill., without a whistle being sounded, the fireman, H. W. Kru- merick, saw that the man was uncon- scious at the throttle. H. J. Riddle, an assistant road foreman of engines, was in the cab and took charge of the en- gine. By the time the train reached Mar- shall, Ill., the man was dead. The train stopped there, the body was removed from the cab and a relief engineer was ordered from Terre Haute. The train that took the relief man to Marshall also took Frank Larr, brother of the dead man. This delay caused the train to get into St. Louis an hour and 15 minutes late Friday morning. | No, 11 is a mail train exclusively. It connects in St. Louis with another fasi mail train for the Southwest. Larr was 56 years old, and was one of the veterans of the Vandalia syster. He entered the service as a fireman in 1879, when wood burners were in use. He is survived by his widow, two daugh- ters and three sons. Heart disease is supposed to have caused the death. A Coroner’s inquest vas held in Marshall Friday.

GIRL CRAWLS TO SCHOOL

Ten-Year-Old Maintains Record Despite Snow. LAWRENCE, Kan., March 29.—Hazel Orr, 10 years old, maintained a perfect record for attendance at a country school this winter by crawling on the frozen snow for an eighth of a mile. Her teacher today wrote to County Su- perintendent Hawley of the girl’s feat. The snow being over Hazel’s head, she found that by crawling over the top she would not break through, and ‘in this way reached school.

Police Investigate, Find Her, and Wire Back Admitting Mistake. Adolph George Loysch of 411 Trudeau street was released by Chief Young Friday after the police had decided that his arrest was the result of an unusual case of mistaken identity. Police Chief Rhoades of Peoria a letter to Chief Young asking the ar- rest of George Loesch, who, he said, was wanted in Peoria for murder. He in- closed a photograph. Later he sent a telegram saying he had learned Loesch was living at 411 Trudeau street and was working in a brewery. It Was His Photograph. Special Officers Fox and Nienaber went to the Trudeau street address and saw Loysch. They showed him the pho- tograph and he said it was his portrait. He formerly lived in Peoria, he said, but the only trouble he ever had was a fight with a deaf and dumb man two years ago. Loysch had returned to Peoria since then, he said, and not attempt was made to arrest him. Friday Chief Young questioned Loysch, and was impressed by his straightforward manner. The Chief wired to Peoria for further particu- lars, and the answer came that the man wanted was accused of murdering his wife. “My wife is alive,’ said MLoysch. “Tell them they will find her at 235 Idivingston avenue.”

Nina Vivian, at 58 West 113th street, has begun suit in the Supreme Court for an absolute divorce from James M. Todd, a wealthy coal merchant of this city. She names as corespondent her younger sister, Miss Ethel Vivian, who was a schoo] girl in Calumet, Mich., at the time of the alleged wrongdoing. Todd lives in Morristown, N. J. He is traveling for his firm in Michigan. He married Violet Vivian at her home in Calumet in 1908. Mrs. Todd alleges that her husband and her sister first began to act indis- creetly in 1908, when she and Todd were visiting her parents. Ethel played tru- ant from school almost every day, meet- ing Todd clandestinely, it is alleged. When Ethel visited the Todd home at Morristown she and Todd behaved in anything but a decorous manner, her sister avers.

I went to see Dr. Hall, and he didn’t commit himself as to the treat- ment, except to say it might be bene- ficial in some cases. “I went to Mrs. Bakewell’s house some time afterward, but not to see about that matter. A friend of mine was thinking of buying a fine resi- dence here, and I was told that Mrs. Bakewell’s house was for sale. Mrs. Bakewell sent down word that she would not see me, and when I stated my errand, she replied by stating the name of the agent in charge of the property. “Lately I wrote asking her to pay for the course or resume the instruction, and got no answer. Her husband tele- phoned asking me to call at his office, and later sent a message asking me to call him up. I did not do either.”’ NEW BUSCH GRANT BILL PASSES HOUSE Vote of Delegates Is 22 to 1 on Amended Measure—Rush - Council Action. The new Busch bill vacating streets .and alleys. for the Busch-Sulzer Bros.- Diesel engirfie plant was passed Thurs- day by the House of Delegates at a special meeting, 22 to 1. Delegate Greg- ory, who voted against the original bill, voted against the present measure. In explaining his vote when the roll was called he said that he based his action on the previous policy of the ‘Municipal Assembly to charge compen- sation for property vacated. An amendment was adopted providing that the engine company shall pay the cost of removing the sewers under the vacated streets before the ordinance becomes effective. The bill was sent to the City Council Friday for action. Special meetings probably will be held Saturday and Monday in the Council to pass the bill, and get it into the hands of Mayor Kreismann Tuesday. YUAN GETS CHINA’S SEAL

Found Them Together. ‘Around Christmas, 1909,’ Erdlets continued, ‘‘I paid the Todds a rather extended visit on their invitation. Jim —that is, Mr. Todd—one night took me into his den and poured out his story. He said he loved Ethel and she loved him. He knew she could make him happy. He said he wanted to get a di- vorce or let his wife have one, so that he and ‘Little Bthel’ could get mar- ried. ‘Todd complained that his wife was ‘bitterly cold’ to him. and’ said he deeply resented her coldness and often had endeavored to get her interested in him by books to read and pictures to look it. He asked me if I thought there was anything wrong in his love for Ethel. He said, ‘Marriages are not made on earth, and no Justice of the Peace can bind together two persons who are unfitted to each .other.’ “T visited Calumet when the Todds were there. Ethel played truant often from school «and met Jimr in the li- brary. I caught them together there. One day I went up to Jim’s room. The door was closed. After getting no answer I pushed it’ open and there were Jim and Ethel together, and Ethel’s hair was very much ‘fluster- ated.” She seemed greatly excited. “After the Todds and I had returned to New York Todd came to my office and admitted that he had acted im- properly with Ethel on a trip he, Mrs. Todd and the Misses Vivian made from Lake ‘Superior to Lake Erie.’’ Todd’s answer has not yet been filed.

INNOCENT HOLDER PAYS UP

David Rosentreter, a Former bank President, Then Surren- ders $300 Commission.

Testimony taken before Walter D. Coles, United States referee in bank- ruptcy, will play an _important part in the criminal prosecution of Clarence Schwartzberg, under arrest in St. Louis charged with concealing the assets of his dry goods business at Malden, Mo. Schwartzberg’s creditors toék action to throw him into involuntary bank- ruptcy Dec. 16 last. Schwartzberg filed a schedule showing his liabilities to be $14,767.70 and his as- sets $5,874.95. Clyde Wagner, the trustee, sold the assets and realized only $800 oa them. Morris G. Levinson, attorney for the creditors, several of whom are St. Louis wholesale dry goods concerns, learned that a check for $5000 made payable to J. L. Downing and signed R. M. Stokes had been deposited in a St. Louis bank to the credit of H. Siegfried, a pants He suspected that tho Jraft came from Schwartzberg, as it was drawn on the Bank of Malden and Schwartzbere had had dealings with Siegfried. Had Check and Draft. At the bankruptcy hearing Thursday Isadore Siegfried, a son of Henry Sieg- fried, testified that while his father was absent, Schwartzberg visited his Store and asked him to put the check and the draft in his safe. After at first refusing to accept the responsibility, Siecfried consented because Schwartz- berg Was a customer. Later, he testified, Schwartzberg or- dered a bill of goods. The elder Sieg- fried asked how he meant to pay for the goods, and for the first time was ‘told of the check and the draft which were in the safe. He agreed to take payment out of these, and deposited them in the National Bank of Com- merce. ‘ While the goods were being packed for shipment, Siegfried learned that Schwartzbere was a bankrupt. He consulted Attorney Moses N. Sale, who advised him that the check and the draft belonged by law to Schwartz- bere’s creditors. After this testimony was given, Sale, as attorney for Siegfried, turned over to the referee a check for $7120 to be Added to the aggets. Referee Coles said it was apparent that the Siegfrieds acted in good faith and werfe innocent parties in the transaction. ee at David Rosentreter, an insurance and business adjuster and former president of the Washington National Bank, testi!- fied that he met Schwartzberg, Dec. 15, in the office of Peers & Peers, attor- neys, in the Pierce Building. He was introduced by a man named Waldman. Advised Him to Settle. Rosentreter testified that he advised Schwartzberg to settle at 50 cents on the dollar. Later, Rosentreter said, he attended one of the bankruptcy hearings before Referee Coles and from the tes- timony he believed that Schwartzberg would be arrested for concealing assets. He saw Schwartzberg again and told him things looked bad for him. Schwartzberg, he said, gave him $30 with which to furnish bond in case Schwartzberg should be arrested. “Have you still got that $300?'’ Referee Coles said to Rosentreter. “T have,”’ Rosentreter replied. “You don’t lay any claim to it, do you?”’ “No,”’ said Rosentreter. “Did you get a bondsman Schwartzberg?”’ “No, @ man named Ellman wanted to Charge $200 for it and Schwartzberg wouldn't let me pay it.”’ Attorney Levinson then took the stand and testified that at a meeting in East St. Louls Rosentreter ‘had offered him $50 and later $100 if he would not put Schwartzberg on the stand at the bank- raptey hearing. ; Throws 8300 on Table. _ After Levinson testified, Rosentreter took $300 from his pocket and threw it m the table. “I thought you'd ask for it,”” he said to the referee. ‘Coles replied, angrily: “I want to Varn you that if you pursue methods ike this in this jurisdiction it is going th wo hard with you. That's all.” *Rosentreter when seen by a Post-Dis- fateh reporter [Friday said that Sch wartzberg gave him the $300 for no other purpose than to find a bondsman ih case he got in trouble. He showed a letter written to him by Schwartszberg after his arrest. In this phwartzberg asked him why he had for _ pt found a bondsman. ‘Rosentreter said he thought Referee Coles was joking when he warned him against accepting such commissions.

Car on College Women’s Special! : PRESIDENT SUES HS ASSOCIATES Edward E. Felkel Names John E, Hall in Demand for Stock Transfer.

ASKS $10,000 DAMAGES Says He and S. L. Elliott Gave Joint Note for $25,000 to Secure Debt.

Edward E. Felkel, president and half cwner of the Missouri Commission Co., filed suit in the Circuit Court Friday, through Attorneys Judson, Green & Henry, against John E. Hall, James W. Hall, James W. Shaw of 4255 Page av- enue, Anna B. Mapes of 4220A Louisiana evenue, Géorge H. Hall and the Mis- sourt Commission Co. for a transfer of stock, removal of James W. Shaw and Anna Mapes as directors, and $10,000 Gamages from John E. Hal}. The capital stock of the company ts $50,000, in 500 shares. lIelkel says that Oct. 1, 1910, he owned all the certificates of the capital stock of the company. Seven shares were in the names of James W, Rae and James W. Shaw, to enable them to qualify as directors. The company was indehkted to John E. Hall. Felkel says that he and S. Lee Elliott, who was also interested in the firm, gave their joint note for $25,000, secured by mortgages on real estate belonging to them, to secure Hall. Jan. 1, 1911, it is stated, Elliott severed his connection with the company and he and Felkel asked Hall to release il- liott’s real estate from the lien under the mortgage. Hall, Felkel alleges, scheming for con- trol of the company, told Felkel that, if he would indorse his stock in blank ito Hall as security for the $25,000, he would release Elliott from the note. Pliagned te Bry Farm. That was done, Felxei says, but Hall refused to release Elliott or retransfer the stock. Oct. 1, 1911, Felkel says, Hall induced Felkel to transfer to James W. Shaw 23 shares of stock on the books of the company. Hall, it is stated, agreed to purchase the J. D. Lucas farm in St. Louis County and organize a $100,000 corporation to take the title and transfer half of the capital stock of the farm company to the plaintiff. The plaintiff did indorse the stock in blank to Shaw, he states, and Shaw in turn indorsed it to Hall. Hall, the plain- tiff alleges, did not purchase the farm and refused to retransfer the stock to the plaintiff. Anna Mapes succeeded Rae as director, and she got five shares of stock, which was indorsed to Hall. Feb. 20, 1910, according to the petition, John E. Hall made an agreement with George H. Hall, whereby John Halli borrowed from George Hall $19,500 and then transferred the capital stock of the company to George Hall. A condi- tlun was that George Hall was not to transfer stock to anybody else without the consent of John Hall. The plaintiff alleges that the company has paid the $19,500 to George, and that George Hall is willing to transfer the stock back to the plaintiff, but that John will not permit it. The plaintiff asks an order of court requiring George Hall to transfer the stock to him, wants James W. Shaw and Anna Mapes removed as direc/Srn because they are dominated by John Hall and seeks $10,000 damages from John Hail

_* Hospital. AYOR'S Influential People Devise Plan to ‘Drive Out Looneyism and McCaskrinism. SCHRIVER CALLED BRUTAL Many Hold Editor Deserved Beating, but Object to Assault in City Hall. } By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- | Dispatch. ROCK ISLAND, Ill., March 29.- Looney, proprietor of the Rock Island News, a weekly paper, the attack on whom by Mayor Henry M. Schriver last Saturday at city hall caused riots in which two men were killed and nine injured seriously, and necessitated the calling out regiment of soldiers, told the story the assault today for the first time ,he lay in bandages at St. Anthony’s Looney's statement was read to Mayor Schriver and a statement was made by the Mayor. Looney said: “I was at Attorney John T. Kenworthy’'s office consulting with him about an injunction to restrain the Mayor from interfering with the circu- lation of my paper when three police- men came with a warrant charging me with carrying concealed weapons and arrested me. They searched me and found no weapon. They took me to the police station at the city hall and into Sergt. Herges’ office. There were six policemen in the room. “The doors were closed, and police- men stood against them, and the cur- tain of the only window was drawn. Mayor Schriver asked if I had a re- Volver, and the policemen told him no. Herges said something, and I turned toward him. As I did so Schriver sprang at me with a billy about Ll inches long, and struck me on the head. I tried to reach a door, and he struck me again and knocked me back. i tried to reach the window to jump out, Herges pulled me back. All the time Schriver was raining blows on me. I fell over toward the window with Schriver on top of me. I wrested the billy from him. : > Beaten in of as Face With Fist, “Schriver clutched my throat. Some- body else hit me on the head. The billy was taken from me. I tore Schri- vers hand from my throat and stag- gerd to my feet. Schriver forced me over a table, and beat me in the fa with his fist, crying, ‘Die, you dog.’ “None of the policemen made a move @xappt to hold me.

In deciding the Suit question this Spring, rive these points earnest onsideration (and let your tvife or sweetheart help you © decide): Style, fabrics, fit, finish, and personal su- pervision. The result, you - will be the proud possessor - of a Skelton Suit, and most Hikely the one great value, bur special at $25. Our rindow display explains. RECALL LS Maxor HARRY - a of beating me I was carried into a corri- dor and placed on a chair. After [ had begged for some time for water and a doctor a glass of dirty water was brought me. Schriver was threatening to kill me when a crowd gathered around the door and he desisted A doctor came at last and I was sent to the hospital.’’ When Looney’s statement was read to Schriver he said: “No man_ touched Looney while he was in the police sta- tion except myself. No man struck him. No man licked him or attempted to lick him. I did beat him. I don’t care to say what I beat him with or give the details of the beating. After it was over Looney said; ‘Harry, I want to talk with you privately.’ He apologized for everything that he had written about me for months past and wanted to shake hands and be friends with me in the future. I said ‘No, I don’t want to be friends with you. You leave me alone and I will leave you alone, as I always have. You go your way and I will go mine. But, John Looney, if you ever villify me and scandalize me and write another obscene, scurrilous, indecent and vicious article about me, I'l) kill you, so help me God.’ I have reached the limit of endurance. I can’t stand any more of Looney’s abuse and I won't. “Looney said: ‘I believe you will, Har- ry. I give you my word of honor that { will never say or write another word against you.’ ”’ Community Condemns Mayor. Looney, as quoted by Schriver, is more lenient than the community. Condemna- tion of Schriver for assaulting Looney at the police station when he was, under arrest is general. The element that its prone to violence showed its spirit by ettacking the city hall. The more con- servative elements are showing it by signing a petition for the recall of the sioner. There is a probability that will be recalled by the votes of- men who concede that Looney, counts, richly deserved a beating, and who say they would have applauded if the Mayor had beaten him on the street or in Looney’s office, but who say they will not upho'd a Mayor who has a personal enemy anrested and beats him under the eyes of hie policemen. Keeping step with the recall move- ment is another, started Thursday at a meeting of 200 business and professional men who are working for a new Y. M. C. A. building, to put an end to what they term ‘‘McCaskrinism,’’ which de- rives its name from George McCaskrin. Schriver’s predecessor as Mayor, «an Harry McCaskrin, Republican candidate for State's Attorney, whose speeches are alleged to have incited the riots. Harry McCaskrin for several years has been crusading against wealthy tax dodgers, particularly the large corporations in Rock Island and Moline. Latterly Loo- ney’s paper has been the organ of Mc- Caskrin’s crusade. McCaskrin takes pains to say that he is not allied with [L#oney except to the extent of utilizing Looney'’s newspaper to get before the people on the tax-dodging issue. He thinks indignation against tax dodgers had a good deal to do with the riots. Two Democrats, Wenger of Rock Is- land and Johnson of Moline, are oppos- ing McCaskrin’s candidacy. The 00 business men agreed that one of these must be called off to avoid dividing the vote against McCaskrin, and a commi:- tee Was appointed to call on Wenger and ask him to withdraw. Recall Weapon for Looney. There is a drawback to the recall movement. If Schriver is recalled, Looney, who plumes himself on his power to make and unmake men, will be strengthened and will be able to con- gratulate himself that it was not i[n vain that he was beaten. Looney supported Schriver for the mayoralty and opposed George McCas- krin for re-election. After Schriver was elected, he says, Looney turned against ao because Schriver would not let him peepee’. and for ‘the last # he has been attacking ihe @ his administration and giv- n | | Mayor.

He and Wilmerton quarreled over the deal, and Looney started the Weekly News, and fought Wilmerton in its columns. Wilmerton shot Looney in a street duel, but he recovered. At another time Looney was fired at as he was riding home in a buggy at night and his hat and coat were per- frrated. Again Jake Ramser, a jeweler, Ps dtl _¥RIDAY EVENING, MARCH 99, : 1912.

From time to time Looney’s newspaper itas attacked in scurrilous fashion many of the foremost men and women of Rock Island, either in furtherance of political fights, or in getting even with enemies. It was the publication last Saturday of an account of an alleged scanda:ous excursion of Mayor Schriver to Feoria and his alleged conduct there that pro- voked the Mayor to attack him and in turn led to riots and bloodshed and death. Mayor Schriver sent policemen to confiscate the issue of Looney’s news- paper and burned a thousand copies. He had newsboys arrested and fined for cir- culating improper literature. Then Looney was arrested and assaulted and sent to the hospital. Other Rock Island newspapers treated the assault rather lightly. McCaskrin and E. E. Gardner, a Socialist editor, addressing street meetings Monday night, aroused feeling against the Mayor and police by telling of the confiscation of the issue of the News and the assault on Looney. The crowd was told to go to Looney’s office and get copies of the paper. In front of Looney’s office the crowd became dis- orderly and the police tried to break it up. - The Fire Department was called out. Men in the crowd cut the hose. Some of the leaders were arrested and the crowd followed, hooting, to the jail at the city hall, but there was no vio- lence. Ordered Police to Fire to Kill, Tuesday night there was another street meeting and more oratory § ani Mayor Schriver, fearing trouble, had the day and night force of police at the city hall. ‘‘About 10 o’clock,”’ says May- or Schriver, ‘I concluded there was not going to be any trouble and told the day policemen to go home. They start- ed, but returned presently and said the mob was coming. I told them to get their guns ready. A surging mob of several hundred soon surrounded the Seaagg building. I sent Commissioner Hart out to speak to them. He was met with jeers and taunts and brickbats. Win- dows were smashed. I ordered the po- lice to fire high. Several volleys were fired. ‘They’re firing blanks,’ the mob yelled, and charged toward the buil4- ing. When the mob was within 20 or 30 feet of the building I ordered the po- licemen to jump to the windows and doors and fire to kill.” It is agreed that very few men in the crowd were bent on mischief. The trouble started with-.the throwing of srowballs at the jail. The throwing of stones and bricks followed. Public sentiment is divided as to whether Schriver was justified in ordering his men to fire on a mob that was only bent on giving him such a beating as he had given to Looney, but the chari- table view is expressed that it was only human for him to avail himself of the protection of the policemen who had looked on while he was beating Looney. Schriver’s attitude toward some of the _— ee me a ee a ee + -- keepers of saloons, gambling places and chop suey restaprants has had something to do with the outbreak of violence. Before Schriver came in the town was wide open. Schriver closed the saloons on Sunday and revoked the licenses of, several. Looney was the attorney for the saloon keepers. In his paper he alleged that Schriver was not acting in good faith, but merely was punishing his enemies. He printed the story of the alleged visit of Schri- ver to Peoria to show that the Mayor was insincere in his attitude. TO UNSEAT CONGRESSMAN Committee Advises Ousting of Pennsylvania Member.

NO INO FLOOD LOSS ON THE LEVEE IS LOOKED FOR TERE River Rises 1.4 Feet in 24 Hours, 30-Foot Stage Thought Pos- sible by Sunday. The stage of the river at St. Louis Friday morning, was 27.5, a rise of 1.4 feet in 24 hours. From Hermann, Mo., on the Missouri, a rise of 1.7 poet the Mississippi to go up almost one foot here. No flood damage is expected on the St. Louis levee by Weather Fore- caster Hayes, who thought the river might reach a 30-foot stage by Sun- pwd and possibly go to 31 feet Mon- y Eads Bridge and in Sout! St. Louis, the levee is not more thar 20 feet high, and there may be slight floods there, he thought. The rise to 30 feet Sunday ts an- ticipated because of the heavy rains of the last two days over the coun- try drained by the Osage River.

IN A CONSPIRACY, LAWYERS ARGUE Criminal. Proceeding Against High Officials Closes With the Arguments.

ADOLPH SEGAL ASSAILED

Lindabury and Nicoll Tell Jury He Had No Intention of. Operating Plant. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 29.—Counsel fcr officers of the American Sugar Refining Co., charged with conspiracy in viola- tion of the criminal clause of the She-- man anti-trust law, began their sum- ming up in the United States District Court today. The case probably will zo to the jury tonight. Richard V. Lindabury made the first | address to the jury and De Lancey Nicol! closed. Their main contention was that Adolph Segal never had any intention of operating the refinery in Philadelphia, which the defendants are accused of putting out of business b) tricking Segal with a $1,250,000 loan. Tindabury sketched conditions of the refinery at the time it was built to rim Also he held, if the refinery was in con- dition to run, where was the money it: operate it? Segal had no money, he said, and the plant was mortgaged heavy ily. “And there was not one sugar mai connected with the refinery,”’ declared Lindabury. “Segal was a promoter anc al] those connected with him were eithe: lawyers or dummy secretaries and di- rectors.”’ He spoke of Attorney Wise’s failure to call Segal as a witness. ‘“‘Mr. Wis« could not vouch for Segal,” he said. “He knew Segal could not be trusted and so he would not call him as a wit- ness. But'I think, in fairness to the de- tendants, Segal should have been called.”’

Cornelius Bundschuh, a saloon keeper of 764 South Fourth street, pleaded guilty before Judge Miller Friday to a charge of stealing electricity when tes- timony showed how he fell into a trap. Bundschuh was suspected of discon- necting his meter. Jan. 17, when a lone customer stood in Bundschuh’s bar, a man came in with a kit of tools, threw it down and said he would be back in a moment to repair the meter. The man left the saloon and Bundschuh ran over to the meter and connected it. The lone customer was a witness Fri- day. When he told the Judge he was an inspertor for the Union Blectric Co. and that he had taken this means to entrap the saloon keeper, Bundschuh whispered to his attorney, John A. Ger- nez. Gernez then announced his client would plead guilty. Bundschuh was fined $50.

Adams, Sanborn, Dyer and Amidon did not think it would be proper for them to discuss the former President’s speech. ; Judge H. S. Caulfield of the St. Louis Court of Appeals also declined to give his opinion. But Judge Bert D. Nor- toni of the same court readily and heartily indorsed the Roosevelt utter- ance, Calls Doctrine Sound. *T think Roosevelt's doctrine is sound,” said Judge Nortoni. ‘‘The people, who make the constitution, -certainly ought , to have the right to construe it on pub- lic questions. As a friend remarked to me the other day, we have reached the condition where we either must govern ourselves or have even the air we breathe measured to us,.by the cubic inch by certain big interests. “I think Roosevelt’s Carnegie Hall speech the greatest of the century. So impressed was I with it that I read it several times. It is a big question— whether the people or the interests ure going to control. ‘The opposition to the Roosevelt plan says we have representative government through our legislatures. We know many législatures are controlled by the big interests and will do nothing which is not to the liking of such influence. So what’s the use of talking about repre- sentative government when those fel- lows (the legislatures) won't give it to you? That’s the reason we want the initiative, the referendum and the recall of certain judicial decisions.”’ Refers to Tariff at Armory. Col. Roosevelt, in his Armory speech Thursday night, made the first reference to the tariff issue which he has made thus far in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomina- tion. The speech was delivered a few hours after the Post-Dispatch had sub- mitted to Col. Roosevelt a written re- quest for a statement of his tariff views, on the ground that he had not referred to the tariff in his previous speeches. He declined to give an in- terview on the subject. “T haven’t spoken on the tariff,’’ he lgaid at the Armory, “because I have little to add to what I said here two years ago, upholding an honest fulfill- ment of what the Republican platform contained on that subject.”’ The only additional point he wished to make in his Armory speech on the regulation should be for the benefit of the wage earner, and that its benefits should not ‘“‘stop in the front office.’’ The Armory was filled, both the chairs and standing room, during Col. speech. Hiram LAoyd, chairman of the meeting, said there were 38500 chairs in the hall, and that nearly 1000 were standing. r Tjoyd and Gov. Hadley did the itntro- ducing, and the Governor complimented Roosevelt as the author of Republitan success in Missouri, to which the Col- onel, a little later, replied by declar- ing Hadley ‘the kind of a Republican I can tie to—broadly national, as the Re- publican party must be if it is to win.” Like Carnegie Hall Speech. Much of Col. Roosevelt’s address was a repetition of his Carnegie Hall speech of March ®, which was published in full by the Post-Dispatch the following day, and of his Wednesday night speech in Chicago, where he assailed the methods of the Taft managers in the New York, Indiana and Denver primaries. He declared, as he did in Chicago, that those primaries were ‘‘in no way representative of the Repub- lican party, and have no binding force whatever on the Republican party.”’ He gave the audience a spectacular demonstration of New York primary methods, when he unrolled a strip of paper i4 feet long as representing the size of the ballots voted in some New York districts. Gov. Hadley and Lloy4 aided in the demonstration, each taking one end of the strip of paper and ex- tending it between them, almost across the platform. . “It was not only a farce, but a crim- inal farce,” he said of the New York “The polling places were open from 8 to 9 p. m., and at some the yallots did not arrive until & ©’clock, atvothers not until 6, and at one place not until four minutes to 9." “Why, here in Missouri,” he ex- claimed, “In several districts they are sending contesting delegations, where they can hardly get out a corporal’s guard to make the contest. “We do not stand for new principles, but for new applications of old prin- ciples. In Linooln’s time direct prima. tries may not have been needed, but they are needed today, The Republican party wants loaders, not bosses. The power of the boss should be cut down to say that the President part of the people.” * Three hundred guests at United @tateg acquired the Panama nal sone, and his reasens therefor, “The only way te do a thing is te

FAVORS A COMMISSION Thinks Revision Should Be Schedule-by-Schedule, to Elimi- nate Shock to Business. By Associated Press. ALBERT LEA, Minn., March 29.— Theodore Roosevelt delivered an ad- dress here this afternoon on the tar- iff ‘when his train stopped at Albert Lea for a brief period on its way to St. Paul. Col. Roosevelt spoke as fol- lows: “On Sept. 8, 1910, I spoke as follows on the tariff at Sioux Falls, having gone over the speech most carefully with my lamented friend, the late Sen- ator Dolliver, whose ideas it expressed as well as my own. ‘‘* Whenever men just like ourselves— possibly not much fetter, but probably not in the least worse—continually fail to give us the results we have a right to expect from their éfforts, we may just as well make up our minds that the fault lies, not in their personalities, but in the conditions under which they work; and profit comes, not from de- nouncing them, but from seeing that the conditions are changed. This is es- pecially true of tariff-making. Wants New Tariff Methods. “ ‘Tt has been conclusively shown, by experiments repeated again and again, that the methods of tariff-making by Congress, which have now obtained for so many years, cannot, from the very nature of the case, bring really satisfac- tory results. With the present tariff, made by the same methods as its prede- cessor and as that predecessor’s prede- cessor, there is grave dissatisfaction. The people know that there are some things in it which are not right, and therefore they tend to suspect the, as I think, more numerous things in it which are right. They know that the system on which it was made, the same system on which its predecessors were made, en- courages a scramble of selfish interests, to which the all-important general in- terest of the public is necessarily more or less subordinated. There was a time when this scramble was regarded as the natura] course in tariff making, and was not resented. “"The people demand, and rightly, that the profit of the special interests shall be subordinated to the general welfare in every case. It is this at- titude—practically a new attitude—of the people which must be met in dealing with the present tariff, and with pro- posals to amend the present tariff. Very little improvement, indeed, will follow any attempt to revise the tariff by methods hitherto used. The thing to do is to change the methods. | Believes in Protection. “I believe that this country is fully committed to the principle of protection, but it is to protection as a principle: to protection primarily in the interest of the standard of living of the American workingman. I believe that when pro- tection becomes, not a principle, but a privilege and a preference—or, rather, a jumble of privileges and preferences— that the American people disapprove of it. Now, to correct the trouble it is necessary, in the first place, to get in mind clearly what we want; and, in the next place, to get in mind clearly the } method by which we hope to obtain what we want. What we want is what I have already said—a square deal in the tariff as in everything else: a square deal for the wage earner, a square deal for the employer and a square deal for the general public. To obtain it, we must have a thoroughly efficient and well-equipped tariff commission. ““The tariff ought to be a material issue, and not @ moral issue: but if, instead of a square deal, we get a crooked deal, then it becomes very em- phatically @ moral Issue. What we de- I am speaking of the American people—in a tariff, is such a measure of protection as will equalize the cost of production here and abroad; and as the cost of produc- tion is primarily labor cost, this means primarily a tariff sufficient to make up for the difference in labor cost here and abroad. The American public wants the American laboring man put on an equality with other citizens, so that he shall have the ability to achieve the American standard of living and the capacity to enjoy; and to do this, we must see that his wages are not low- ered by improper competition with in- ferior wage workers abroad—with wage workers who are paid poorly and who live as no Americans are willing to live. But the American public does not wish to see the tariff so arranged as to ben- efit primarily a few wealthy men. es Favors Tariff Commission. As a@ means toward the attainment of the end in view, we have as yet devised nothing in any way so effective as a tariff commission. There should be a commission of well-paid experts; men who should not represent any special interest or industry; who should be mas- ters of their subjects; men of the very highest characters, who should approach the matter with absolute disregard of every outside consideration. ““I do not want to see these men of one party or another, or of one trade or another; but experts, single-minded in finding out and telling the truth. Those men should take up in succession each subject with which the tariff deals and investigate the conditions of pro- duction here and abroad: they should find out the facts and not merely ac- cept the statements as to the facts of interested parties, and they should re- port to Congress on each subject as to investigate another. By those means log-rolling would be avoided, and each subject treated on its merits, while there would be no such shock to general industry as is implied in the present custom of making sweeping changes in the whole tariff at once. See That Workmen Benefit. “Finally, it should be the duty of some governmental department or bu- reau to investigate the conditions in the various protected industries, and see that the laborefs really are getting the benefit of the tariff supposed to be enacted in their interest. And if, from an investigation of certain industry, it appears that the tariff, supposed to be imposed for the benefit of the wage- worker, results in such shape that the benefit does not reach him, the tariff on that industry should be taken off. Moreover, to secure good treatment abroad we shoul@ keep the maximum and minimum provision.’ “There is but little to add to what I have thus said, we believe this country is committed to the principle of the protective tariff, treated honestly as a principle and not as a bundle of pref- erences, so that the benefits and bur- dens may be fairly and evenly distrib- uted and special privilege eliminated. We do not believe in any unwarranted profit for anybody, but we do believe e — : in @ standard of protection adequate| to maintain the high standard of liv- ing of American citizens. “The prime need in any future re-| vision of the schedules, ir in any future arrangement whatsoever affecting the tariff is to protect the interest of the farmer and the wageworker. Speaks Word for Farmer. ‘‘There must be no alteration of the tariff which compels the farmer to bear the whole burden. The welfare of the man who liv by tilling the soil is vital to the welfare of the nation is willing to bear his fair share of whatever is done, but’ he must not be asked to do moré. In any manufac- turing or mining or similar interest the welfare of the wageworker should be, the prime test of the working of the tariff. ‘We wish to see prosperity come to all our great industries, but unless the prosperity gets dowa past the office, then it is not the right kind of pros- perity; in other words, while the wage- worker is glad to have the employer get his full share of the prosperity, down past the office to be distributed among the men who work their hands.” | Tom—I love you.

Gross earnings of the United Rail- ways Co. for February, as made public by James Campbell, president of the North American Co., Friday, show an increase of $29,000 over the gross earn- ings o2 February of last year. The total amount of money taken in by the company, in round figures, was $893,000

for the month. The net income for February was $57,- 000, an increase of $21,000 over last year. Campbell said the company had dis- continued the practice of giving out de- tailed monthly statements of its earn- ings because they were often mislead- ing. Semi-monthly stateménts are giv- en out regularly. Pay as You Enter Helps. The 3% per cent gain in net income account is attributed to the new Campbell policy of reducing the inter- est rates on the underlying bonds as each ‘bond issue reaches maturity. The pay-as-you-enter car equipped with slot devices has also added consider- ably to the company’s receipts. In 1911 the United Railways expended $1,000,000 for improvements, but’ this item for 1912 will probably not exceed $754,000. Not a Laclede Rival.

Norris Re- signs From Fort Worth Church, (oes to a Sanitarium. FORT WORTH, Tex., March 2.—The Rev. J. Frank Norris, who resigned the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of this city, has been indicted on a charge of arson in connection with the burning | of his church the night of Feb. 4. Norris, suffering from a nervous breakdown, it was stated, as a result of a series of sensational incidents of which he was the central figure, left Fort Worth ostensibly for Hubbard City, Tex., to enter a sanitarium. His resignation as pastor of the local church announced was because of i}) health, he explained. Norris first at- tracted attention several months ago as a leader in a civie reform movement. Then his church was burned, and the minister complained he had _ received anonymous communications threatening his life. On two occasions, he alleged, attempts were made to kill him. ant to be sent to prison for 30 years for alleged burglary in the Schiff home. At the same time the jury held that Brandt should not have been indicted for burglary in the first wegree, but for grand larceny. The Court refused, how- @ver, to receive a presentment to this last effect. Mr. and Mrs. Schiff and Brandt had ‘appeared before the grand jury. Brandt ‘js out on bail and his sentence has been set aside. 409, 411, 413 Broadway.

NEW YORK, March 29.—There are 15,015,569 Catholics in the United States proper, according to the 1912 edition of “Kenedy’s Official Catholic Directory,” which is authority also for the follow- ing statistics: “A year ago the Catholic population of the country was 14,618,761, while 10 years ago it was 1°,976,757, showing an increase of 4,038,812 for the decade. Twenty years ago Catholics numbered 8,615,185, showing that within 2 years the Catholic population has nearly doubled. There are 17,491 Catholic priests in the United States and 13,939 Catholic churches, of which 9256 have resident priests, the other 4683 being mis- sion churches. There are 83 seminaries with 6006 students preparing for the priesthood, 229 colleges for boys and 701 academies for girls. There are 5119 pa- rochial schools, wrth an attendance of 1,833,786. There aré also 289 orphan asylums, caring for 47,111 orphans. In- cluding the children in parochial schools, orphan asylums, academies, colleges and other charitable instltutions,/ the grand total of young people under Catholic care amounts to 1,540,049. “The appended table shows the states having the largest number of Catho- lics: New York, 2,778,076; Pennsylvania, 1,616,920; Illinois, 1,447,400; Massachusetts. 1,381,212; Ohio, 745,271; Louisiana, 583,000; Wisconsin, 556,703; Michigan, 654,320; New Jersey, 502,000; Missouri, 465,000.’’ SUFFRAGETTES RAISE $50,000 AS BILL FAILS Demonstration Held While Com- mons Rejects Measure—Miss Pankhurst Sends Note. LONDON, March 29.—While the House of Commons was rejecting the concilia- tion bill last night, the suffragists held a big demonstration in Albert Hall and a record collection for a suffragette war fund of $50,000 was made. This included an anonymous donation of $6000. Christabel] Pankhurt, whom the police are still seeking, sent a spir- ited message to the meeting, defying the Government. By a vote of 222 to 208, the House of Commons rejected the conciliation bill on its second reading. This measure aimed at conferring the right to vote upon every woman possessed of the household qualification, and would en- franchise 1,000,000 women. Announcement of the result wags re- ceived with cheers. Last year a similar bill passed the second reading stage by a vote of 255 to 88 and was referred to a Committee of the Whole House, mak- ing no further progress. The reversal in the views of the members is attributed to the resentment aroused by the win- ¢cow-smashing tactics of the militant suf- }iragettes. The bill is an independent measureg not backed by the Government. Women Seek to Force Vote. SHAWNEE, Ok., March 29.—Sixty women of this town have served an ul- timatum on the Mayor that unless the registration books are opened to allow them to vote, they will use their influ- ence to defeat him for re-election.

Some of the investments will not expire until 1918, she said. In the letter she wrote to Lewis, Mrs. Day told him she was a poor widow with no one to help and felt herself growing older every day. She wrote that she had denied herself many things and,drawn her money from a bank to invest in the “Lewis enter- prises and that as she had no one else to advise her she trusted to Lewis’ su- All she desired, she said, was an in- vestment which would pay her a small income to support her in her old age. i Another Woman Investor.

Tebbetts had testified to before’ the grand jury with respect to the deben- tures. He. said Swenson told several other witnesses what Tebbetts had tes- tified to. Wrote Warning to Lewis. Upon his return to Edwardsville, he said, he wrote a letter to Lewis, in which he said that some of the wit- nesses called by the grand jury did not want to testify against him. If the witnesses did not’ wish to give their pa- pers to Swenson and testify, he said, they were told they could go home. One woman, he said, waited four or five days for an opportunity to testify, but finally left, refusing to give her pa- pers to Swenson. He expressed the opinion in the letter that the grand jury was getting misinformation from the witnesses that were being used by the Government. The letter was read in evidence. On redirect examination he testified that when he sent his money to the company it was his understanding that it was to be used as the officers wished, to pay current expenses if they needed it. Fred E. York of Grand Rapids, Mich., a retired Congregational minister, tes- tified that he sent $800 to Lewis for & per cent notes of the University Heights Realty and Development Co. Complained to Wickersham. He had difficulty in getting the notes, he testified. He held them until 1910 and then sent them back to be ex- changed for: debentures. There was 580 much delay in getting the debentures, he said, that he became discouraged after carrying on a one-sided corre- spondence with the company for several months and wrote a complaint to the Rural New Yorker and also to Attorney- General Wickersham and Postmaster- Genera] Hitchcock. After writing the letters, he said, he got the debentures, but they were not what he thought he was subscribing for, he said, and he re- turned them and asked for the return of his notes. The notes he originally sent in, he said, were first mortgage notes on the real estate of the University Heights Realty and Development Co., and those finally returned to him were notes secured by a trust agreement, he said. He was not ‘} aware when he received the trust agree- ment notes that there were two prior mortgages on the property securing them, he said.

Mrs. Caroline Buschart of 2314 Uni- versity street, by depositions filed Fri- day in Judge Hitchcock's court. indi- cated she will fight the divorce suit of Edward Buschart of 3909 Greer avenue by trying to show that he aiteady is en- gaged to marry another woman as soon as he obtains a divoree. Mrs. G. B. McPherson of 2632 Geyer avenue, in a deposition taken by the de- fendant wife, said her stepdaughter, Beulah McPherson, was a stenographer in Buschart’s printing establishment, and that Buschart had taken the gir! riding in his automobile, accompanied by Mrs. McPherson, her husband and another man. Denies There is Engagement. In answer to a question. Mrs. c- Pherson denied that Buschart is. en- gaged to her step-daugiiter or that he called on her as a suitor, but she ad- mitted he had visited their home, an:l that on Christmas he gave the young woman two beauty pins and a bottle cf perfume. Asked if he did not supply the McPherson larder with game when he went hunting, she said Buschart once gave them two rabbits and a quail. Buschart’s petition for divorce alleges his wife is extravagant and has a bail temper. He says they are hopelessly divided and cannot agree. In his deposition Buschart was asked if it were not a fact that his wife has been an invalid since the birth of their second child. “No, she has not plied, ‘“‘but been siak,’’ pretended he re- to be she has

He denied he was engaged to be mar- ried as soon as he obtained a divorce. The Buscharts were married in 1896, and separated last July. The mother rhas their two children, and her answer, a general denial of Buschart’s allega- tions, asks the custody of the boys. Her motion for alimony will be heard later by Judge Hitchcock. BRAIN TRANSPLANTING IS DENIED BY DOCTOR Small Cyst Opened in Skull of

Patient at Johns Hopkins. NEW YORK, March 29.—Dr. Harvey Cushing has telegraphed the New York World that the report emanating from Baltimore that Dr. Cushing, in the course of an operation performed by him recently at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, had substituted a baby’s brain for part of the brain of William T. Buckner was an utter fabrication. Buckner is a wealthy Cincinnati real estate man. His partner, Theodore Leonard has given out telegrams in Cincinnati re- ceived by him: from-Mrs. Buckner stat- ing that the ‘“‘baby brain’’ story was un- true. When seen at his Cincinnati office, Leonard said: ‘“T have received a letter from Buck- ner since his operation, and he is doing well. No baby brain was transplanted into his skull. The surgeons cut into the base of his brain and found a small cyst, which they opened.”’

At the request of attorneys for Seidel, Judge Dearing in the morning ordered the written confession of Seidel put into the records of the case. As 37 of the 40 jurors testified they had read the newspaper copies of this state- ment, Seidel’s lawyers say it will in- validate the trial, and, if Seidel is con- victed, will be grounds for reversal by the Supreme Court. Judge Dearing does not share this opinion. Mrs. Hunning Crouches, While all these things were taking place in the courtroom, Mrs. Anna Hun- ning sat huddled in in the county jail. It was for love of her, the State alleges, that Seidel shot her husband, and it was through notes sent to him by her in jail that the sup- posed confession was obtained. But Mrs. Hunning and Seidel ‘to all appearances have become. estranged. Whenever the voung .man is led into court or taken from court back to hi: cell he must pass the cell occupied by the woman. But neither by look nor word do they appear to be acquainted with each other and their fellow prison- ers Say they have quarreled bitterly. Woman Is Nervous. Hunning appeared nervous and a reporter for the Posi-Dispatcn visited her in the coun- ty jail Friday. The jail is a big room with a tier of cells alone the north and south walls, and a big central block of cells. Mrs. Hunning is the only wom. an among its nine inmates. The floor of the jail is low. Because of the recent heavy rains and snow it is necessary to keep a hot fire burning in a big stove to repel the dampness. This heat, together with the smoke from the pipes and: cigarettes of the men, and the absence of sunlight, makes the place anything but attract- ive. The woman’s cell, the largest in the jail, is about 12 feet square, the bars on the inside being boarded up to give something of privacy. In a corner of this at a table Mrs. Hunning was sit- ting, her cheek upon her hands and her elbows resting upon a rough table. By the flickering of a smoky kerosene lamp she was reading an old newspaper with which the table was covered. She Feels Lonesome, When the reporter entered the woman walked up to the bars. Her hair was neatly brushed and her black clothing was neatly arranged. She said she was giad to see somebody, as she was lone- some. ‘I’m not feeling well,’”’ she said. ‘“‘I haven't been feeling well for some time, I guess it’s the confinement. But I'm klad it has cleared off and the sun 1s shining again.” At that she glanced up ata window, covered by a heavy paper. Through 4 hole in the paper a sunbeam was point- ing, and the woman appeared to find pleasure in the dancing motes in the slender line of Jight. As she talked she frequently rubbed her hands nervousiy. Much of the stolidity which marked her bearing in the early days of her trou- bles had been replaced by nervous ant- mation. Ignores the Seidel Case. When Seidel’s case was mentioned she would ignore the remark. She did not discuss her own approaching trial, and she shunned all mention of the death of her husband and the incidents relat- ed to it. Once again she spoke of the sunlight, saying: “ft’s awful when there is no sun- light. I fell the need of it as much in here as I would if I were out—maybe more.”’ Mrs.

She said she could not cemplain of her treatment in the jail. LOCKED IN AT WEDDING

ITHACA, N. Y., March 29.—To escape the sendoff planned by their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Cross, who were married last night, locked the wed- Cing guests in on the third floor of the house of former Mayor Miller, the bride's uncle, where the wedding took place, and escaped. The wedding guests were liberated by a Cornell student, who made a rope out of bunting and slid to the ground.

But if my iiusband wished them done in a differ- ent mode, I would cook them as he de- sired. “But there is one way that I won't have potatoes done, and that’s ‘French fried.” And I don’t want any spaghetti eaters or chile con carne enthusiasts trying to marry me.

I don’t care what line of work he fol- lows, but 1 would prefer a farmer. “As to his habits, he must stay home at night, unless he has business to at- tend to. If he doesn’t stay home, I'll wait for him until morning—at the front coor with a broomstick. He may be- long to a lodge, if he wants to, but he can’t join any society that meets aft- er midnight.

I told him my age was @4i years and tried to show him he would be making a mistake by marrying me. He wanted to marry me anyhow, but I insisted that he wait and think it over. He didn’t come back.’”’ Mrs. Johnson is a plump, merry and good-looking woman, whose hair is slightly gray. She says her daughter who is married, advised her to have her hair dyed a fast color until she got a husband. But she says she will not deceive to win any man.

The editor of the Medical Record thinks that a fruitful cause of divorce is the American cof- ie habit, which, he contends, stimulates the *brain to nervous sleeplessness. Poor cooking ‘has played. an important part in divorce cases. : It is even possible that poor coffee may have _ been cited specifically in certain instances. There iis no doubt that coffee is contributory -*o nervous ‘unrest, but we should hesitate to name it as the * principal cause, : A distinguished psychologist recently put the + blame for unrest upon the prevalent moving pic- _ ture show, and the tendency to amusements of “purely spectacular nature. Both he and the ’ Medical Record are right as far as they go. The ‘stress of American life, beginning with a public + schoo] course that contains little to develop poise, * produces abnormal results, especially upon those of weaker fiber, ‘and over-taut nerves naturally * lead to family troubles and divorce.

Forty of Isaac Stephenson’s colleagues voted to retain him. But 34 supported the contention of the minority of the committee, that in many specific cases payments from his $107,000 fund were made to party leaders under circumstances constituting bribery. Prodigious effort has been devoted to the Lori- mer case since ex-Legislator Charles A. White made the first of the damaging confessions nearly two years ago. The Burrows committee spent months in inquiry. The Helm committee of the |Tilinois Senate made its exhaustive investigation, terminating in the verdict that Lorimer’s “elec- tion would not have occurred if it had not been for bribery and corruption.” A third inquiry has just been finished by the Dillingham committee of the United States Senate. Only public spirit of the highest type could have prompted the ef- fort on the part of individuals leading to the dis- covery of the voluminous testimony presented in these inquiries. But it will all go for nought if the Dillingham committee’s five-to-three decision in Lorimer’s favor is sustained. The many changes in the Senate since it voted, 46 to 40, on March 1, 1911, to uphold Lorimer would make a reversal of its former verdict probable but for the technical basis of the Dillingham finding. Its point that the case cannot be reopened after the former de- cision in his favor supplies an excuse for avoid- ing a vote on the merits of the charges. Both Wisconsin and Illinois have the sena- torial primary. Only election of Senators by the people will bring a complete reform of sena- torial election abuses. , > —— ww The matter of the high cost of living about which we have heard and read so much during the last year or two has nothing to do with the case—Judge Carpenter’s charge to Packers’ jury. But we had been led to hope that the case would have a lot to do with high cost of living. "= = a ST. LOUIS’ BRIDGE OF LAUGHS. Our free bridge is the first thing many visitors from a distance ask about as soon as they arrive in St. Louis. They want to know if it is true that this town has built a structure out in the middle of the river without providing any way of reaching it from the land. Incredulous, they laugh at reports they men- tion, to the effect that such a bridge exists, and seem to regard them as fabled rumors invented by somebody as a joke at St. Louis’ expense. But, curiously enough, they seem to regard it as much more of a joke when they find that the reports are true. Anyway, they laugh still more uproar- ously and they insist that there is no doubt about the joke being at St. Louis’ expense, seeing that the bridge has cost $3,500,000. Perhaps a view of our bridge which regards it

My name in the old country it was Machmueller and in the new country it was MacMiller. But that is neither here nor there, and has nothing to do with what I was going to write you about. What I want to try to say to you is, that, in my opinion, it is all rot what many papers are now writing about—that promise of Col. Roosevelt that he would not have a third term. The prom- ise was all one-sided, and no man should we ex- pect to stick to a one-sided promise under all circumstances. Conditions may change so that it is best for all concerned that such a one-sided promise is not kept. For instance, I was in the bakery business, and my three sons were in it, too. It was a good busi- ness and everything was running smooth. Now, Suppose I say to my boys, I am getting old and want to be boss no longer. I retire and you run the business your own selves. Suppose then that they run it for awhile, and I see that they run it to the devil. Suppose that I would then say I will save the business, I will be boss again, would my boys object if they had the least bit of common sense? Would it be my duty not to stick to my one-sided promise? And now, Mr. Editor, let me tell you what I and Icts of other German-Americans think of Col. Roosevelt: It is that he was the best President that ever was, since the invention of America. D. E. MACMILLER.

Women in ‘‘Benighted China.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. For the first time in the history of the world woman has a flag. Everywhere a ward of the state, legislated for by men according to their ecaprice of the moment and without redress on her part, she has blossomed into full citizenship in the Republic of China in 1912. Six of the American states have granted wom- an full political rights, but the American nation, as such, has never freed its women. Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand have long had uni- versal suffrage, countries are colonies of Great Britain and not sovereign lands. Iceland has an equal suffrage, and did in secret those many other things whose

Wilson’s his- ee writings, in which he referred to faults of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson and to the ging of baser elements from Hungary. The " tions separated from their contexts have Deen the theme of smarting editorials in Clark "“Mewspapers. ee ‘Now comes George EB.

On the other side of the ocean Mr. Roosevelt’s reappearance attracts but moderate comment, and most of that, it is painful to remark, is amused and slightly contemptuous. The French pa- pers particularly draw attention to the contrast between the present situation and that of the ex-President when he made his triumphal “progress’’ across Europe on his return from Africa. They recall his Sorbonne address with its solemn didacticism; his advice to Great Britain on the proper policy in Egypt; his sensational demonstration in Rome, where he managed to offend pretty nearly every faction in faction-torn Italy, and his general role of “enfant terrible’ ’’ in the Old World. In Ger- many, where the Kaiser's good nature had given Mr. Roosevelt a peculiar pres- tige, it might have been supposed that the extreme radicalism of his recent course would be sharply condemned, It is, on the contrary, treated with levity as the latest manifestation of a hunger for sensation, a need for novelty at any cost. ee ee eee

Conditions and Remedies. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial on “Starving of Hungry Minds,” is certainly appropriate and attuned to public opinion as held by the working classes. Reme- dial legislation is excruciatingly slow and hope- lessly behind the greedy monopolists in their in- sane race for unjust gain. From personal experience with thousands of working men with whom I have aseociated in the past few years, their faith in the present sys- tem of government is waning, and irritation, cynicism and hatred are displacing faith, hope and loyalty. The privileged few and their bla- tant mouthpieces in the press may close their eyes to conditions, but their willful blindness de- ceives no one but themselves. They are creating their own inferno when they compel the worker tuo send his children of tender years into the tainted atmosphere of mill and factory for wages that barely pay for their upkeep, when young women are compelled to work and keep up ap- pearances on wages that are a mockery and an in- centive to vice. And what of the vast army of men, heads of families, who work for an average wage of $2 per day, exclusive of loss of time from sickness, layoffs to increase dividends on water- ed stock, etc.? Is it logical to suppose that the patriotism of this vast army will wax, or will it wane; and should it wane to the vanishing point, then it is logical to suppose that our republican institutions will vanish also and Socialism or the bloody head of revolution will appear in their places, Let Congress make and inforce laws that will give equal pay for equal work and stop the ex- ploitation of our women and children. Let them also make laws removing the tariff on the neces- sities of life, and on articles that have contrib- uted to the swollen wealth of our overgrown and insolent trusts, operated mainly by alfens, Let them jail the wealthy violators of the law, as promptly as they furnished clubs, rifles and bay- onets for the starving strikers of Lawrence, Mass. Also let them jail the body-snatching ghouls who adulterate and poison our food and then charge us exorbitant prices for it; then and not till then, they may fan the dying embers of faith in this government of, by and for the people.

The statement referred to by “Plain Talk,” tak- en from the interview with suffrage leaders on the “third term,” was the one statement which had arrested my attention, and the comments made thereon were just such as I hed made, Against “Plain Talk’s” excellent letter there have been some vehement protests, in which the chief argument presented has been that many men who yote cannot read. This is no argument that al women should vote: ft is simply an admission that many men should not. We should restrict before we extend.

Because the women of Washington protested against the high street-car steps, the steps have been lowered to a point where the average woman or child can negotiate them without special gym- nastic training. Wearers of the hobble skirt are correspondingly delighted. The traction bosses grumble, “What’s the use? Next year they'll all be wearing knickerbockers, and able to jump any step.” Besides, they have other reasons for dis- content. If women can force them to lower car steps for the benefit of hobble-wearers, who knows but next year some pinnacle variety of hat may cry out for sky room, or the fateful hoopskirt may cause the enlargement of car doors to barn size? However, the women succeeded in their war on the high step. They will succeed in any re- form in any community where they demand it unitedly and persistently. Even where they have no votes women can exercise an enormous power for good, and, by so doing, the sooner ob- tain the ballot without opposition.

Theodore Roosevelt” last night at the First Infantry Armory. There is no other subject about which he knows. so much. In no other subject is he so profoundly inter- ested. As is commonly the case with efforts showing a thorough mastery of the thesis, what he had to say combined instruction and enter- tainment in almost the Chautauquan sense. We gather from his remarks that the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt is a man of exceptional purity and elevation of motives; that no other citizen exists whose views are as important to the coun- try; that no other citizen can render to the peo- ple services as valuable as he is prepared to render. A repetition of his familiar eulogy on the “greatest cartoon ever drawn” was included in this address. It showed a rugged-faced citizen of the people in his stocking feet studiously read- ing by the kitchen fire, after his day’s work was done, a presidential message to Congress. “That's the man I want to reach,” said Mr. Roosevelt. “That’s the man I understand.”

IN THE BDOGINNING.

He was wholly fa- miliar with the singular manner in which it joins North and South Ameri- ca, and advised King Ferdinand to dig the Panama Canal. The King did noth- ing without religious sanction, and therefore referred the suggestion to the church. The church at once had re- course to the Bible, to discover if there were any Scriptural injunction against it, which there was. In Matthew 19, 6, it found this: “What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.’ “The project was dropped.”

For Arthur Redford was the last man I should have expected to find embark- in@°upon a wedding journey and es- pecially in so spectacular a fashion, I would not have been much surprised at hearing that he had made a fortune out of a lucky turn in the stock market, or rhat he had been arrested for forgery not so much surprised, in fact, as at seeing him married. I was obliged to do a good deal of business traveling that spring, and made another trip to Montreal, returning through Toronto and Detroit. I was leaving the train at Detroit when among them I noticed a silk hat and a head under it that looked familiar. It was indeed Redford again, wearing his frock coat and glittering hat as if had been wearing them ever since fh, seen him last.

the messenger had come aboard, waving his yellow envelope above his head. Redford tore open the dispatch. As ee it he frowned and looked star- ed. “I've got to go back to Toronto!” he said, quickly, to me. “I haven’t time to get my wife off!’’ he exclaimed. “look here—you're going to Buffalo. Will you put her in a carriage and send her to this address?’ He thrust a card into my hand. “I'll be along on the next train tonight if I can. Explain it to her. Don’t mind if «she doesn’t talk. She’s very shy and ill.” With considerable curiosity I went into the Pullman, and had no difficulty in finding Mrs. Redford. She was sit- ting at the end of the car, with no one near her, and she was looking through her veil at the penne landscape. “Your husband has been obliged to g0 back to Toronto, Mrs. Redford,” I said to her. ‘‘He had no time to tell you—a telegram came on board, and he had to jump. He asked me to see you safely through to Buffalo, and I will be very glad to do so, if you will permit me.” Mrs. Redford bowed slightly, but said nothing. It was rather an ungracious way of receiving my assistance I thought, but I said nothing. I attrib- uted it to her shyness, and sat down op- posite her. It was growing dark. We were enter- ing the suburbs of Niagara Falls town, and all at once we darted past an elec- tric street lamp not 20 feet from the track. The sudden white glare pen- etrated the veil and I saw my com- panion’s features. For a moment I was almost paralyzed with amazement: then I leaned forward to make sure, pulled aside her veil without ceremony and looked into her face. I leaped from my seat and bolted down the aisle, boiling with rage and horror, intending to jump instantly from the train. The vestibule was closed; the doors were locked. I could not get out. A United States immigration inspector hurried on board, followed by a couple of Canadian policemen. They paid no attention to me, after a sharp glance, but crowded past the passengers into the Pullman, and an irresistible curiosity led me to follow, regardless of risk. They wem straight to “Mrs. Redford” ai the other end of the car, and the in- spector gave a piercing glance under ber hat. “Rice, eh? Very appropriate!” he-ob- served, and snatched awny the veil. A coarse black pigtail fell on the bride's sh lers. “8 , lettee me alone!" the unmasked Chinaman vociferated, jumping to his feet and gesticulating Violently. ‘“‘What you do? Me Melican citee-len, Tiavel business. Makee laundley—makee wash —plenty money. Got plenty cash. You no right touchee me. Twenty-thlee to you. You gettee out!’ “You gettee out here yourself, Ah Sing,”’ said the inspector, beginning to conduct the Celestial out of the car. I slipped out to the platform before them. I had had a narrow escape from being caught apparently engaged in Redford’s business. Redford was never caught. I heard that he had gone to Mexico with his wife—his legal wife from Detroit. whom he had married that Spring. At any rate, I believe the Chinese dragon no longer takes his honeymoon along the Canadian frontier. (Copyright, the Shortstory Pub. Co.)

BAGGAGE CHECKS CLEW TD FONGER, ARAT CATCHER Anton Rohr, Who Asserts He Was Wounded in Boer War, Caught in Kansas City. CHECKS AGGREGATE $92 Dress Suits in His Baggage; Money Reported to Have Gone for Clothing. Anton Rohr, who posed as a profes- sional rat-catcher, and cashed forged checks amounting to $92 and signed with the name of Edward A. Faust, left be- hind him a trail of baggage checks which enabled the police to trace him to Kansas City and capture him. In Kansas City, he assumed the name cf Fred H. Nolde. Among his effects were found a full , dress suit and three business suits, an overcoat, a silk hat and a derby hat. Though he says he forged the checks because he was hungry, he admits tha! he spent most of the money for clothes. Rohr says he was born in Bucharest, Austria, and that his father was a ma- jor in the Austrian Army. After serv- ing as a private in the army, Rohr says, he was in the Austrian Consular service. When serving under Gen. Vil- joen in the Boer War, he says, he was wounded, and the injury to his head has caused frequent periods of irrespon- sibility and temporary loss of memory. Rohr speaks English with difficulty, and frequently refers to a pocket dic- tionary to find the word he wants to use. He came to St. Louis two months ago, and had a room at 749 Walton ave- nue. COUNT BONI CALLS, BUT MORGAN IS BUSY Visit Revives Rumor That Anna Gould’s Former Husband Is Suitor for Financier’s Daughter. ROME, Italy, March 29.—Count Boni De Castellane, whom the for- mer Anna Gould of New York, di- voreed, arrived here today ostensibly to visit Dr. Henri De Rothschild of Paris, but really to see J. Pierpont Morgan. When the Count called at the Grand Hotel and inquired for Morgan the latter was taking tea with Countess Soderini, and Castel- lane left word that he would call again tomorrow. This incident has revived the rumor that Count Boni is still endeavoring to pet the New York capitalist to consent to the French nobleman’s be- coming a suitor for the hand of Miss Anne Morgan, Dr. Henri De Rothschild has been busy denying reports that he is here to confer with Morgan professionally as a physician or practically as a financier. Rothschild explains that he is bound for Sardinia to hunt.

Booming Franklin Avenue. The regular dinner of the Associated Advertisers of Franklin avenue was held at Lippe’s Restaurant last evening. Charles A. Smith, who is chairman of the adver- tising committee of the Franklin Av- enue Improvement Association, presid- ed. Chairman Smith stated that the ob- ject of the association was to devise Ways,’ means and methods to induce and attract buyers and consumers to Franklin avenue, and complimented the members for their recent success since the inauguration of the bargain day sales on Franklin avenue, every Friday and Saturday, at which time each ad- vertiser sells some article of exception- ally high value and merit at exceed- ingly low prices. “We must boost Franklin avenue,” said Mr. Smith, “but we must make our ‘boosts’ and boasts good in our stores.”’ Colin M. Selph of the Million Popu- lation Club was the speaker of the ev- ening. Mr. Selph’s subject was, “‘Mak- ing Your Word Good in Your Store as Well as in the Newspaper.’ In making tis suggestion, Mr. Selph said, “One swallow does not make a@ summer” and one ad in a mewspaper cannot be ex- pected to fill your store with eager buyers. What is absolutely necessary for you todo, ifyouexpect your adver- tising to pay—isto be ready when the buyer comes to make your word good in your store by having the quantity of the article advertised and the merit | of high quality. Your store should al- ways be clean outside as well as in- side. If your landlord will not paint up your store front—do it yourself—for it will be one of the best advertisements you can have. You must clean up Franklin avenue and make it as attrac- tive as possible.” Many members made interesting sug- gestions relative to the deportment and courtesy of the sales people, the at- tractiveness of their show windows, the quality of their goods and the very low prices. Mr. Smith announced that sales were rapidly tncreasing on Frank- lin avenue, and this spring the highest mark woukd be reached. ‘Those present at the meeting were: W. A. Meletio, C. P.

— =

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 29.—The griz- zied war horses of the Senate were bearded by the smooth-shaven boys and twitted about their dexterity in securing provender for the pork bar’! for their constituents. It was not the spectacular fight against log-rolling that but a sporadic en- hungry is ‘on the program, counter that was unexpected. Senator Kenyon was saying a few kind words for the Sherwood pension bill, Which proposes $1 a day for all veterans, when he brought up the ap- Propriation of $75,000 for a public build- ing at Sun Dance, Wyéd. “Talk about economy in pensions,” shouted Kenyon, ‘“‘when we make ap- propriations like that.’’ The population of Sun Dance, Kenyon said, was 281 persons and rapidly de- creasing. He declared all the inhab- itants could soon assemble in one room of the new public building, or perhaps in one of the magnificent elevators. Warren Disputes Figures, Senator Warren of Wyoming denied the figures given were correct. He said the ‘“‘statement was not true.’’ Neither did Senator Lea state the facts, War- ren declared. Another section of the town, he said, contained a larger popu- lation than that indicated. Senator Lea hotly replied that the figures he gave were furnished by the census. Warren said Sun Dance was much larger than many towns in Iowa with postoffice buildings, whereas the Wyo- ming place had a courthouse and land office. He declined to furnish the exact population figures, saying he would do so in his own time. Lea resented the suggestion that he ad taken advantage of Warren’s ab- sence, and that of his colleague, to move reconsideration of three Wyoming bills. He had acted openly and above board. He sought to take no advantage of the Wyoming senators. Kenyon said he refused to introduce a bill for a public building in an Iowa city of 4000 inhabitants because he thought there should be economy in such matters. The name of the town was demanded by Senator Sutherland, but Kenyon refused to give it, and said his veracity had been impugned. “Why did you ask insisted Kenyon. ‘Because I was curious to know,”’ re- plied Sutherland, who said he did not impugn the Iowa Senator's veracity. Tennessee Claim Is Cited. Warren suggested that a pending bill carried $1,000,000 for a Tennessee claim. This irritated Lea, who said he had nothing whatever to do with claims. He would join Warren in opposing the bill if it were not a just claim. He urged Warren to take the same attitude regarding Sun Dance. “TI will gladly do so if I find the place is not deserving,’’ answered War- ren. Other Senators urged the three mem- bers on to have.a general rumpus, but Kenyon proceeded on the question of pensions. In the meantime the four public build- ing bills, which were recalled from the House on motions by Senators Lea and Kenyon came back. They are on the Viece-President’s table. The four bills appropriate an aggregate of $317,500 for public buildings at Sun Dance, Thermop- olis and Newcastle, Wyo., and _ St. George, Utah.

STOPS YOUR HAIR FALLING OUT AND DISSOLVES DANDRUFF AT ONCE Your hair appears soft, lus- trous, fluffy and abundant after using a little Dander- ine What causes Dafadruft, itchy scalp and falling hair? Who cares —so long as Danderine overcomes this—and it does, and quickly too —{it does more, it grows hair and we can prove it. Try ag you will, after an applica- tion of Danderine, you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or a loose or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after a few weeks’ use, when you will actually see new hair, fine and downy at first-—yes—but really new hair—sprouting all over the scalp. A little Danderine now will im-

mediately double the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, fad- ed, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and care- fully draw it through’ your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is immediate and amaz- ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lus- ter, softness and lJuxuriance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove to your- self tonight—now—that your hair ig as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that’s. all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a lit- tle Danderine.—ADV.

The change was made following the in- tpection of the two parks by Manager Bresnahan and President Steininger of the Cardinals, President Hedges, Man- \ger Wallace and Secretary Rickart of i@ Browns. JBhey first visited Robison Field, but Wause the park is situated in a low m, the water has not drained off thor- Wghiy.

Wallace to Hold Subway Practice This Afternoon ANAGER WALLACE called Mi his players to order in the clubhouse at Sportsman’s Park Friday morning, but dis- missed them without making an effort to practice. However, the athletes were instructed to report again in the afternoon, when an at- tempt would be made to use the subway field, beneath the big grand stand. The players, especially the pitch- ers, have reached that stage in their work where a lay-off will cause no little damage to their arms. Therefore they are eager to be back on the job.

Regardless of the amount of work. they did. it was more than the stay-at-home squad put in. Friday wag the ninth day that the men here spent without touching a bat. After being crowded out of the Armory Thursday, Manager Bresnahan had hoped to get in a little work under the bleacher stands at Robison Field, but the ground was so soaked that it was impossible to labor any. Bresnahan will send a second team to Cairo, Ill., Friday night, for scheduled games with the Milwaukee (American Association) team Saturday and Sunday. Roger asked that the games be postponed, but the Mil- waukee management insisted on the Cardi- nals fulfilling their end of the contract. All the regulars will be in the game. if played Saturday, with the Browns. As Mike Mowrey is ‘slated to arrive Suntay, it will mean that Wallie Smith will fill the gap at third, Red Mike will sign a contract on his ar- rival, which means that Bob Harmon is now the only member of the holdout brigade. There was no conference Thursday between the pitcher and the manager, although it is believed that some agreement will be reached when they bump into each other. Harmon wants to play baseball, and inasmuch as the

| difference in salary offered and desired is but a couple of hundred dollars, it should not be a difficult matter to come to terms, |

Champion Featherweight Tells First ‘‘Inside’’ Story of Bat- tle for Title.

By ROBERT EDGREN. By a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. bane, in a chat here yesterday, with me that his own story of his. win- ning of the world’s featherweight title might be somewhat interesting. “But I don’t know that there was anything very startling about it,’’ he added. ‘I expected to beat Attell, though I did t\¥ink he’d give me a harder fight. It was one of the easiest fights JI ever had. “You see, I did a lot of fighting out there in the elimination bouts, and I felt pretty sure that I could win. After i I knocked Rivers out in the sixteenth round I knew I could beat Attell. Riv- ers is a real Mexican, and so some of the people out in Los Angeles. don’t care much for him. But he’s a great fighter. He gave me a fierce fight until I was lucky enough t@ get him. He weighed 122 pounds then, too. In the eliminations I beat Patsy Kline, Joe Rovers, Frankie Conley and Charlie White. “After that the trouble was in getting Attell clinched for a fight. Attell want- ed to ‘fix’ it. He talked with Jimmy Dunn, my manager. Jimmy just listened and looked wise. I didn’t see Attell. When we both started training at Los Angeles we gave him to understand that there was absolutely nothing doing and that he’d have to fight me on the level. He had plenty of time to train and he worked hard and got into good shape. Family Was With Johnny. “Tl worked hard, too. I always get into the best sort of shape for my fights. I had my wife and my little girl with me in Los Angeles, so I was right at home while I was training. That’s the best way to be. ‘T went out to fight as cool as if there wasn't a champtonship at stake. No, I didn’t have any -plan of battle. I never plan a fight before hand. If you make up your mind to fight in a certain way, and the other fellow generally has a _ better plan and is a beter fighter, you’re going to be whipped. “In the first round we must have sparred and danced for a minute and a half without hitting a blow. I was sizing Attell up, and he wouldn't start.. He tried to kid me, turned his face teward the crowd and shook hig head to; make people think I was to blame because there wasn't any fighting yet. And then he said to the referee, ‘Why don’t you make him fight?’ “Well, we started. I thought Attell would be fast and clever, but it sur- prised me a littie to find that I was so much faster that I could hit him without a return whenever I wanted to. He'd have his right pulled back to start a punch, and I'd jab him a couple of. times and get in and out so fast that his arm was tied to his side. Attell Tries for Knockout. “By the time we'd reached the fourth boxed, and he got wild and began swing- ing. I never saw him swinging that way /before, He tried to «¢t my goat by talk- ing to me. He didn't say anything very pleasant. After a few rounds he began using every foul trick he knew. It was the foulest fighting ‘I ever saw. He but- ted, and tried to wrench my arms, and hit low deliberately. Once when he hit low I laughed at him and said ‘Try it again; you can’t hurt me.’ “Attell kept butting all the time. At lest he caught me and cut my eye wide open. See the ecar (a thin white line an inch long that followed the line of the eyebrow). I saw that he was going to g> along butfing, so I made up my mind to beat him at hie own game, and for a round I butted him. I took good care not to let him,cut my other eye. This was about the Bixteenth round. “When he came out of his corner cov- ered with grease, and the referee stopped the fight long enough to wipe the grease off, ~— eh tried - make a joke of it. ‘That ien’t oe eajd 3 ‘It's just the min ont of a PON poward #0 end, Attell didn’t seem to have #0 much strength when we came to- gether.

It is not a question with Griff if he can keep in front of the Browns, but of what clubs he will pass in the race. But it’s nice for the Browns that it’s only Griffith and his men they have to pass. Griff has always been so kind to St. Louis. He built up the Browns into a near-pennant team by handing that club at various times Powell, Howell, Williams and Ferris, all of whom figured strongly in boosting Hedges into a 200 per cent profit in 1908. Com. passionate Griff also put the Cardinals on the map with such contributions as Mow- rey, Huggins, Oakes. Ellis, etc. Who knows but he'll give us Walter John- son now. . . > WASHINGTON VS. ST. LOUIS, ALTER is the only man Griff owns that might frighten Wallace. Milan is a well-esteemed player, and McBride is a good fielder and hitter; but the Millers, Fiynns, Fosters, Cunninghams, etc., don’t make a noise like Jinx. Walter Johnson out, the Browns have the better club.

lForline to Try for a Position on Olympic Team St. Louis Sprinter Has Been Working a Month for Trials to Be Held in Chicago. Carl Forline, at one time the speediest sprinter in St. Louis, plans to go to Chi- cago in June to try for a place on the American team that will compete in the Olympic games in Stockholm, Sweden, this summer. Forline says he has been training at the First Regiment Armory for more than a month and believes he still retains his old fleetness. The M. A. C. dash artist is entered in the athletic meet at the Armory Satur- day night and also in the Kansas City A. C. games next month. If he shows well in these events he will decide whether it is worth his while to make the trip to Chicago. With Forline entered in the Chicago trails, it will mean that several St. Louis boys may be represented on the American team. Harry Ratican, the clever St. Louls University athlete, will be sent to the Windy City in an effort to make the Yankee team. He is being tutored by former Coach Bender of St. Louis U., who concedes him a chance to make the team. Cook a Promising Boy. Bender is also devoting much attention to Charley Cook, St. Louis U. freshman, who has shown considerable ability in the high jump. low hurdles and dashes. Although new at the game, he easily does 5 feet 6 inches indoors in the high jump and gives much promise in the other events. [If he keeps on improving, he will be sent to Chi- cago with Ratican. Joe Forshaw, in the Marathon, and John Nicholson, in the high jump and hurdles. are other local athletes who are conceded chances to accompany the Yankee team to Europe, The fact that contributions to the Olympic Fund are being received from St. Louisans, will also help the cause of the local ath- letes. The Missouri Athletic Club has con- tributed $250, while the Western A. A. U. has donated $25. scriptions are in, Louis total will net a neat gum. 3

“ANGEL” FOUND FOR AMERICAN OV MPIC TEAM Col. Robert M. Thompson of New York, Assumes All Finan- ‘cial Responsibility.

NEW’ YORK, March 293.—All the finan- of Games Committee have out through the announcement hy Col. Robert M. Thompson, president of the New York Athletic. Club and chatrman of the committee, that he will person- ally take over the entire financial re- sponsibility in connection with the American trip in case the popular sub- scription fails to the required sum. Col. Thompson from Florida and was_ surprised to learn that the committee was consid- erably alarmed because of the slowness with which funds have been coming in, particularly in view of a payment of 25,000 which must be made to the steam- ship company next Monday. Col, Thompson at once wrote the fol- lewing proposition: cial troubles the American Olympic been smoothed realize returned vesterday out Stands Good for All. “T don’t want you, gentlemen, to have any fears as to the financial side of this Olym- pic team. I already have made a proposi- tion to the steamship company to take over the guarantee made by your committee, and while I have no desire to assume the rights of the whole American people in regard to the giving of funds to a cause which is ‘ truly national, {f such an occasion should arise, you can rest assured that there will he no occasion for worry. If the steamship com- pany cares to make a 5 per cent reduction for cash, I will forward them a check for the entire $105,000 at once.”’ Col. Thompson has chartered the Duke of Sutherland's yacht, ‘‘Kantana.’’ in which he will cruise to the Olympiad. anchoring in the harbor at Stockholm, where he will entertain lavishly.

Improved Browns to Be Jinx of World’s Chamos Gee

Athletics, Who Won 19 Games From St. Louis Last Year, Will Have This Trouble Repeating Season.

By W. J. O7>CONNOR, N two years the Browns have won seven games from the Athletics, while | Connie Mack’s men have won 37 from the Browns. But pay heed to what Connie Mack told Barney Pelty: during a fanning bee at the Exchange Hotel in Montgomery, last Thursday: “T helieve the Browns have a much stronger club this season and I realize that means trouble for us. Also for Cleveland. You know, the Browns al- wavs played their best ball against the Athletics and Naps, and, although my club beat you fellows 19 times last sea- always gave us a scare. In Browns have Doertivan uS more five years than any other son, fact, in the club."’ Sounds kinda Connie Mackish, doesn't it? Rut this time Mack was speaking only the truth. The Browns have been troublesome customers for the Athlet- ies, even though Mack’s gang has the big edge in victories. Fans may re- member that in the fall of 1909 the Browns wrecked the Athletics’ pennant hopes when ‘Bill Bailey blanked the Mackmen tn a game late in October. That defeat put the Athletics out of the running and gave the pennant to Jennings. Then Manager Wallace admits that the you the past Reinforcements Should Help Lift Browns Out of the Cellar Position HERE’S no doubt but that the Sy Browns would create a sure-enough sensation if they could storm their way to the top of the second division, or even to a sixth place berth. Any time a downtrodden, brow-beaten bunch of tail-enders begins to win, there’s a sen- sation. That’s what caused all the stir Browns always have played stronger ball against the Athlétics and Naps than any other’ clubs in the League. They probably have not been very suc- cessful, but they always have made the Mackmen and Naplanders extend them- selves to win, whereas Detroit and Chi- cago usually win by lop-sided tallies from the downtrodden tribe of Wallace. Now the question arises—will the Browns be instrumental in holding the Athletics in check during the coming season? Will Wallace's rejuvenated club prove the entity which may upset form calculations? The Brownies are chesty enough to think they will. Wallace has a con- ceited bunch of players this spring, and conceit is what wins in baseball. The Brownies are conceited enough to think that they will have something to say in the final disposition of the flag in Ban Johnson's league next fall and they intend to take every advantage of their

| opportunity. Robison Field cadets had been last for so long that once they got their heads above water the fans from New York to California began to take notice. The same goes for the Browns, and Wal- lace has a team that does not figure to run last. The addition of Stovall, Pratt and a few pitchers has bolstered up the Browns, made them a bit surer on their feet, and they THE MAGNATE’S LAMENT. Drip, drip, drip, ‘Til the park {fs an inland sea!

Pitcher Frill Will Make Good for Browns, Is Criger’s Opinion

Low (Butch) Criger, that ancient, battle- scarred maskman who's as quick as the next in detecting the symptoms of perfection in a raw piece of pitching material, comes to bat with the prediction that Jack (Lefty) Frill will make good in the A. L. this sea- son. » “Frill isn’t a brofier, anymore, but he’s far from being a spav,’’ remarked Criger, ‘and he has shown me enough already to make me think that he’ will make good. Frill knows how to pitch and also what to pitch. He’s a pretty wise head and I figure he'll startle the smart guys this summer. “You know Frill was with the Yan- kees in 1910 when I was there. Lefty re- ported and won four out of six games, start- ing off in the fall with a 2—0 victory over Boston. However, the following spring found Frill numbered among the missing—like my- self, Laporte, Austin and others who didn’t stand ace high with Hal Chase, successor to George Stallings. I never could see that peculiar managerial switch and I never will be made to ‘see’ it. Stallings was and is a manager and that’s more than I can say for a lot others.’’ American Not Weak in Catchers. In the opinion of George Stovall, the Amer- ican League is not as woefully weak be- hind the bat'as most people think. It has been ‘said that Bresn&han,. Meyers, Dooin, Archer, Gibson, Kling, McLean and Erwin, the Netional has an alj-star cast of receiv- ers. Stovall believes that Stanage, Thom- as, Sweeney, Street, Henry, Krichell and

On to Mount Ararat! | pretty fancy backstops, but the ex-manager of the Naplanders picks Oscar Stanage of Detroit as the kingpin on the A. L. re ceivers, “In my opinion Stanage has few equals,” declares Stovall, ‘‘and that goes for the American and National Leagues.’’ Stovall also tips Steve O’Neil, the Cleveland kiddo, to make a star before many more moons. How Dode “Fanned” Oat. Dode Criss, the titanic club wielder. who for two years was the terror of the Ameri- can League hurlers, fanned himself out of a job with the Browns. At least that’s the generally accepted explanation of Dode’s withdrawal from the ranks of the majors. Here's the story told by Bert Shotton: _ “I well remember the last time Dode ever went to bat at Sportsman’g Park. We were playing Chicago and Walsh was pitching. We needed a run to tie and two to win. Dode was swinging for the pitcher and one al- ready was out, but the bases were filled. “The call was two strikes and .one bal! Walsh foolish, However, being ae ge pot . was really playing the game layed. Two days later he was released to uisville.”’ Speaking of Criss, the fans all remember the day Dode went bat the ninth

MOUNTAINHERMIT AND ARTIST BRIDE | SEPARATE AS TRIAL '| After Five-Year ‘“Furlough,”’ Di- vorce Will Be Open to ‘Per- fect People.” MARRIED IN. A. CANYON Man’s Burros to Wear “Crepe”’ Four Days and Then Ribbons Will Be Burned. Special to the Post-Dispatch. GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., March 29 —The idyll of Monument Canyon has been blasted. Supt. John Otto of the Colorado National Park, nationally known as the “hermit of the mesas,’’ arrived in Grand Junction from his cab- in high up in the foothills and an- nounced that his dream of a perfect cruise on the matrimonial sea was over. Mrs. John Otto, who was Miss Bea- trice Farnam of Boston, an artist of Indian life of recognized standing, is now back at her old home on what Otto terms ‘‘a matrimonial furlough.”’ The marriage of Miss Farnam an Supt. Otto was of widespread interes?. It took place July 4, last year, and originally was scheduled to take place at the top of the great Independence Monument, a gigantic spar of rock that rises 648 feet in the air im the center of Monument Canyon. For weeks before the wedding Otto daily worked his wav up to the top of the natural monument laboriously driving iron spikes into the sandstone, so that his bride and the minister might safely gain the crest. However, when the wedding day ar- rived, the minister positively refused to risk his life in making the clim), and the marriage took place at the foot of the rock. Had “Perfect Life Theory.” Near here they settled down to house: keeping and to living out their elabo- rately constructed theory of the ‘“‘perfect life.’’ “It didn’t just work out,’’ said Otto, ‘so we determined that we should both go on a furlough. Neither of us believes in divorce, but at the same time we be- lieve that men and women should not attempt to live together unless bound by the ‘fetters of love.’ My life was in the hills and the canyons. Hers was wrapped up in art. Art and canyons won't mix well, so she determined to take a furlough. It will last five vears. Then if either of us cares to we wil) apply for a divorce. If a man wants to make a woman happy he must allow her to be absolutely free. It was the freedom of the studio and artistic life that appealed to her rather than the free life of the ranges. So she returned to Boston and I am going to stay with my work on the trail.’’ Otto is one of the well-known charac- ters of the West. Some years ago he discovered a remarkable collection of fantastic rock formations and canyons west of Grand Junction, and after a period of hard work had the Natiunal Government take this district over as a national monument. Opens Wonders to Tourists. This was done last summer and nameJ the Colorado National Monument Park. Otto was appointed its first superintend- ent. Throughout the park, which com- prises 13,000 acres, he has constructed a remarkable series of trails opening up its wonders to the tourists. He lives in a cabin, sheltered by a clump of pincn pines, with no companions save his two ponies and seven pack burros, who have tracked the West with him from British Columbia .to the Mexican line. He has considerable eduvation and fre- quently contributes to the newspapers and magazines. “IT am going to put a éand of black about the neck of each «f my hurros,’’ said Otto, ‘“‘but in four days I will burn the ribbons and scatter the ashes. Then Beatrice Farnam will have passed out of my life.”’ PASTOR READS STORY OF OWN BLINDNESS Rev. Mr. Benton, of Compton Heights Baptist Church Wishes Friends to Know He Can See. The Rev. J. B. Benton, pastor of the Compton Heights Baptist Church, read with a great deal of interest Friday a story in a morning newspaper, telling how he was stricken blind while pre- paring a sermon a week ago. When he reached the part in which his wife was described as finding him groping about in his study, he looked at Mrs. Benton and smiled. Dr. Benton explained that he was not blind, and had never been blind. Through over-study his eyes had gotten in such condition that his physician, Dr. W. L. Johnson, had instructed him to do no more reading until they could have a good rest. The Bentons live at 3919 Russell avenue, and it was told in the story how confidence shone in Mrs. Benton's face “as she paused in her ministrations to her vision-bereft hus- band in their home.” The Rev. Mr. Benton said to a Post- Dispatch reporter in denying the story, that he wished his friends to know he is not blind. Marry me. Mary—I will buy the diamond ring on credit of WVoftis, 308 N.
