and New York World. WASHINGTON, April 13.—‘‘The present tariff luw raises about $330,000,000 a year. For every “clar that it puts into the treasury of the United »iates it puts $5 into the pockets of the trusts. In « her words, tiain people of this country—the consumers— ebout $1,500,000 a year over and above what they pay for the support of the Government. Is it ony wonder that the tariff question and the cog- nate question of dealing with the trusts will be the overshadowing issue of the pending cam- paign?” Champ Clark pushed his chair from the big mahogany desk which occupies the center of the Speaker’s room in the capitol and swung his massive frame toward the writer. In his youth he must have been a remarkably handsome man, and today the weight of 62 years bears very lightly upon him. He is a plain man of the people, but has a great deal of simple dignity which conveys an impression of conscious strength.: He went on speaking in a distinctly musical drawl. Southern “We welcome the issue. We do not believe that it can be blinked, postponed, minimized or shunted out of the way. The Democratic theory is, and always has been, that in adjusting the tariff in order to raise the indispensable amount of revenue the highest rates ought to be levied on luxuries and the lowest or none at all on the necessaries of life. That is just exactly the kind . of a bill or bills on the tariff we will pass, if ever we get possession of the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate all at once.” A Picture of the Speaker. HERDE was determination in the Speaker's voice and he leaned forward slightly as he spoke. Few men of his age have such a splendid physique.

HAMP CLARK has read a great deal and C his retentive memory kidnaps striking passages from his favorite authors and puts them to good use. His speeches are liberally bedecked with classic quence. Indeed, he once put Gladstone, Sheridan and the Bible to contribution in a single five-line. sentence during a debate on the tariff. Those who are opposing the big Missouri- an’s efforts to win the Democratic nomination in the forthcoming campaign are industriously cir- culating excerpts from some of Champ Clark’s earlier speeches. The slang-wanging style of ora- tory ‘which appealed so strongly to Chautauqua audiences has been discarded. Responsibility has sobered him. But it has not abated one jot of the virility with which he has always served the peo- There was a ringing challenge in his voice gems of elo- ple. as he said: “As far as I am individually concerned, I sprang from the loins of the common people; God bless them! and am one of them. I labored with my hands in my youth, and would do it again tomor- row if I had to do so, and I unhesitatingly take my stand with the consumers of the land as against the ‘interests.’ I love to serve the peo- ple. It is a thing that I looked forward to from a time that I can scarcely remember, when I was a poor, barefoot, ragged boy, plowing corn on a rocky hill in Kentucky.” He Has the Plowman’s Walk. NYONE who hag seen Champ Clark walk knows that he has plowed corn. He has the plowman’s walk common to the chil- / dren of the soil the world over.. A long, swing- ing stride, with the foot raised well off the unevenness of the sod. The Speaker went on: “TI have stood in the House these 18 years or more, in season and out of season, as the friend ) ) ) ) | ” instance. | ip a very human face, frank and firm, but lacking { ) I have been a laborer from my very earliest recoi- ) lection.

Frank P. Blair. Democrats Have Kept Faith. “Well, Mr. Speaker, how have the Democrats proved up as lawmakers for a mighty people dur- ing this session?” he was asked. Champ Clark rose. He caught hold of the back of his chair and bent his huge body forward as if to hurl his reply across the room. “In his speech nominating Gen. Grant for a third term Roscoe Conkling said: ‘Gen. Grant’s fame rests not only on things spoken and things written, but upon the arduous greatness of things done.’ That fits the democrats of Congress like a glove. “We have kept faith with the people.

“Second, to submit a constitutional amendment for the election of Senators by popular vote. This the House did as far as in its power lay. The Senate added certain amendments which threw amendment passed by the House into conference, but I have faith the amendment will be submitted before the session closes. “Third, we promised to economize. We are economizing. “Fourth, we promised to pass a bill compelling the publication of campaign contributions and disbursements before the election. This we did. “Fifth, we promised to admit New Mexico and Arizona to statehood as two separate states. That has been done, and representatives from these the constitutional opinion of “Old Hickory” as that of the Su- preme Court of the United States. He was not profoundly versed in black-letter law, but he was richly endowed with common sense.— Champ Clark, Oct. 2, 1893.

AM in favor of this bill because there are two pieces of ground on the North Amer- ican continent that I want to see annexed to the United States. One is Cuba and the other is every foot of British North American pos- sessions, no matter how far north they ex- tend.—Champ Clark, Nov. 17, 1893.

WOULD destroy every custom house in America. If I had my way today, sir, I would tear them all down, from turret to ‘foundation stone——Champ Clark, March 31, 1897. AM in favor of letting woolens come in I free. And, what is a good deal more, I am in favor of letting everything else come in free. That is my creed. I propose to sup- port every amendment in this bill (Wilson bill) that puts anything on the free list. You cannot have too much of a good thing. I am a free trader from the sole of my foot to the crown of my head. That is the doctrine | of nature and of common sense.—Champ Clark, Jan. 15, 1894.

AM not in favor of free trade all along the line in the condition in which we find ourselves. We have got to raise about $300,- 000,000 out of this bill whether we want to or not. So a man would be very unwise to be jabbering about free trade under those conditions. But I agree with the gentlemen from Washington that a man ought to be somewhat consistent about these things.—

INDUSTRIAL HAVOC. In his speech on the employers’ liability bill Senator Chamberlin made official statistics graphic in the statement that “every six minutes, day and night, a railroad employe is killed or injured, and every two hours one is killed.” In quoting this, the New York World has shown that it is not peculiar to railroads. It applies in mining operations and in the operation of high-power modern machinery generally. Neither employers nor employed have learned how to es- cape the dangers of this industrial havoc, which as it involves those who operate the “machinery of civilization” is growing worse than that of war. The one thing which is becoming more clearly defined in the public mind is shown first in the ‘Ntability bill.” As fully defined, it may mean a business system under which this cost of life, reduced to the lowest point by the enforcement of “lability,” will be fairly added to the prices civ- -» flization pays for the products of its “machinery.” As a “fixed charge,” thus paid as part of the cost ~ of living, it might be great in annual millions, but its totals would be a mere bagatelle com- _.. pared to the immense sums now added to cost .«» and price by “fixed charges” on watered securi- » thes and by monopoly charges under high-tariff ” additions to prices. If we had nothing added to the necessary cost of living except fair payment for those who lose their lives or are maimed in operating the ma- . Chinery of civilization, we might easily afford to ’* improve machinery until the havoc stops. And now a Des Moines woman who fired five bullets into her husband has been released on the plea of self-defense.

POLITIOS AND LAW IN INDIANA. Gov. T. R. Marshall of Indiana told the Y. M. C. A. at Washington, D. C., that the reason he _ abandoned legal practice was to preserve his self- Tespect. He wanted to get into a pursuit in which his conscience would have breathing room, where he wouldn’t have to wink one eye at the truth. A Accordingly he jumped from the legal profes- - sion into politics. This, it must be remembered, - Was in the State where Dudley used to buy ’em ~~ in Ddlocks of five, where Shively more recently was chosen Senator, where Tom Taggart is still & power to be reckoned with, where the dicto- > graph has lately been busy trapping.Gary munici- _ pal officials.

In the interview published elsewhere in today’s Sunday Poét-Dispateh Speaker Clark prudently confines his remarks to the work of the Demo- cratic majority of the House. He does not go be- yond the program the Democrats of the House are trying to carry out for his platform as a presidential candidate. So conservative is the Speaker in his utter- ances, that he limits his views to the measures actually passed by the House or in process of passage. He stands on the record of the House, and concentrates on the completion of tariff re- vision and the levy of an income tax as the things necessary to be done. The Speaker is right in emphasizing tariff re- vision as the first great work which the Demo- crats should complete whenever the people put them in full power, with a President and majori- ties in both branches of Congress. The record of reforms accomplished and in process of accomplishment by the House reflects credit on the Democratic House majority, but it is @ meager program with which to go before the people for election in a year exceptionally fruitful of political questions of vital interest and importance. It should be borne in mind that the House record is not of Mr. Clark’s making. The credit of it must be shared to a large extent with Mr. Underwood and other Democratic leaders. The interview is sensible and puts the Speaker in a favorable light as a serious, practical legis- lator. But it does not go far enough. It dis- closes neither imagination nor vision on the part of Mr. Clark. It does not reveal ideas. It leaves untouched a great field of governmental prob- lems which are pressing for solution. Outside of the tariff, there is not a word about economic conditions. There is nothing about’ the trust problem, or the money question, or the measures for popular control of government which the radicals are advocating. The conservatism and caution displayed by the Speaker in the interview led the Post-Dispatch correspondent to remark that “the slang-whang- ing style of oratory which appealed \so strongly to Chautauqua audiences nas been discarded.” This is something gained. It is gratifying to know that the position of leading Democratic candidate for tu- presidency has sobered Mr. Clark. Tne air is no longer to be split with that oe fiery eloquence of wordy unreason, the fervor of which led the Speaker to compare Grover Cleveland to a sausage and to Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold; tossed him here and there on the tariff question, from the revolutionary policy of tearing up custom houses by the roots to modified protection; drove him to declare that the people’s “ignorance is dense;” induced him to exhaust the vocabulary of epithets in denouncing citizens of foreign birth, and to urge the annexation of Canada.

THE PROBLEM OF BREAKING RAILS. Railroad fatalities due to broken rails have attracted much attention during the winter just passed. If the traveling public and the editors who have commented upon the fatalities in ques- tion knew the whole truth about the breaking of rails, the demand for practical reform in rail- making would be overwhelming. Oné railroad in the Middle West suffered from 183 broken fails during the first two weeks of January. Nearly every case was detected by in- terruption of the electric track direuit used for automatic block: signaling, which shows that the fractures were complete and would have derailed a train almost to a certainty. Block signal ex- perts say that they are informed on good au- thority that during one month of the winter one railroad system had 1000 broken rails. Steel manufacturers accuse the railroads of de- manding rails of a.hardness that makes them brittle and of loading the metals. too heavily. Railroad managers retort that broken rails are nearly all found to be defective. It igs true that rolling stock has increased in weight. It is also true that the number of wheels per car or per locomotive has been increased. There is room for doubt whether the average load per wheel is heavier or lighter than five years ago. There is no doubt that the 100-pound rail generally used on our big systems today is much stronger than that in use five years ago. High speed and defective rolling stock are un- deniably responsible for overstraining rails, The proportion of breakage due to flaws or excess of carbon in rails, or to lack of proper allowance for safety over and above the rail strength necessary to carry the actual load, is hard to determine. The Interstate Commerce Commission should take steps toward protecting the public against rail breakage, if it has authority to de so. If it has not, Congress should provide such safeguards forthwith. — == % rer

In these days, when every noted actress and singer who lays claim to personal beauty (fortu- nately there are some who do not) is writing columns about her method of being beautiful, it is a relief to listen to the advice of Dr. Dudley Sar- gent, the renowned physical director of Harvard, who tells women that scrubbing, sweeping, laun- dry work, kneading bread and making beds are the magic method for making woman physically perfect. True, we scarcely expect Dr. Sargent’s system to become popular. It is too prosaic. It lacks the inspiration of the example which women love to think they are following when they read the “beauty secrets” of these ladies of the stage. Running up and down stairs does not appeal to women. Still less do they fancy donning old clothes and soiling their hands with the scrub- bing brush. Even the woman who might be tempted to indulge in these commonplace exer- sises will be deterred by the haunting fear that her next-door neighbor might find out should she condescend thereto. Unless Dr. Sargent can devise something more spectacular, Wu.ch flourishes on speciai costumes, demands clubs that lend themselves to social ex- clusiveness anu incwicates a creed replete witu mysterious gibberish to mystify the feminine mind, we fear his home rules for womanly beauty will find few fashionable followers. it hn —_

The presidential candidate who comes South for Democratic convention delegates will have to bring better credentials than Pettigrew carries from Champ Clark. COURTESY INSPECTION. From the New Oreans Times-Democrat, The reported appointment, by one of the great North-and-South railway systems, of an “inspec- tor of courtesy” is a new and cheering indication that progressive railway managers nowadays are giving serious attention to the improvements, in practical relations between the railways and the public. Painfully slow to realize the discour- teous and unfair treatment of rail patrons by railway employes of high and low degree was an important factor in stirring up popular antagon- ism to the carriers, it is evident that the awak- ening has come at last, upon many of the larger systems,

The public has had a sure insight into the be~ trayal of the Wisconsin Senator by the ra. sives of his party, who at heart were personal followers of Mr. Roosevelt. How he was used as a stalking horse by the Pinchots, the little gowe ernors and the insurgent editors up and down the land, until they thought there was no life left im him, has become a matter of current ry. How far the sympathetic reaction in Mr. La Falk = act became a certainty.

They have to meet a slippery and subtle enemy. The snake is scorched, not killed. Philadelphia reas: The overwhelming triumph of Roosevelt in lllinois places him in a conspicu- ously forward position as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. The Colonel was undoubtedly aided in this result by the strong revulsion among Illinois Republicans against Lorimer and all he represents, Philedalphia Telegraph: The returns from Illl- nois primaries should not discourage friends of President Taft.

It is a stunning blow to the administration and the old machine reaction- aries, who have been employing all the old-time devices for defeating the people’s will where they could. It is a@ tremendous demonstration for the man the mass of the people want as their leader. It means that Roosevelt can be defeated only by trickery and fraud. Boston Herald: That Illinois high-water mark of Rooseveltism has long been apparent. Republicans have long been distrust- ful of the organization, State and national. The action of the Governor in calling a special ses- sion to pass the direct primary law under which the voters have just acted. and the enthusiastic majorities in the legislature for it, indicated a public desire to strike at somebody and this has proved to be Mr. Taft. as the representative of the “established order’ within the party. This Illinois victory does not indicate that Roose- velt can get the nomination. It does perhaps throw some doubt on Mr. Taft's likelihood of success and these are by no means equivalent expressions.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Weorld. Copyright, 1912, by Press Pub. Co. DUBLIN, April 13.—The twins are among the most interesting personali- ties in Dublin society this season. These two pretty girls, Mary Christian and Lina Victoria, are 25 years oid, and, as is often the case with twins, are devoted to each other, so much so that other people are wondering whether any of the young gallants at the Dublin court will be able to separate them and lead one or the other to the altar. Lady Caroline Arnott, their mother, is one of the most extensive entertainers in Dublin so- ciety. She is aided by the twins, who are highly Sultivated musicians. The Arnott parties are, in- deed, representative of the court of Tory Ireland, When a Liberal viceroy is at the castle, Sir John Arnott is the second baronet, his fath- er having been Mayor of Cork in 1859 and Deputy Lieutenant for the county. He was the owner of the Irish Times, and amassed a considerable for- tune, so that the Arnott twins will have hand- Some doweries when they decide to marry. The present Baronet succeeded his father in 1898. Lady Arnott is the daughter of Sir Frederick Martin Williams. County Galway, famed for the beauty of its women, has an extremely charming representa- tive at the Dublin court this season in the person of Miss Olive Persse. The Persse family is noted for its interest in sport and the present master of the Galway Blazers, the best known fox hunt- ing pack in the three kingdoms, is Miss Olive Persse’s uncle. Although whisky distilling was the origin of the Persse fortune, the present representatives of the family are considered county people of the best stamp and Miss Persse was presented at court this year.

Young Wales, Who Went to Gay City “To See Life” Keeps Up His Cor- rect English Habits, Even in Spending Sundays, Happiest of French Holidays, in Religious Worship Instead of Going to the Races and the Gaming Clubs. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1912, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, April 13.—Parisians have been terribly disappointed in the young Prince of Wales, who is staying with the Marquis de Breteuil. They fondly hoped to witness the traditional “Educa- tion of the Prince,” such as is presented in the famous comedy of that name in which the young man destined for the throne is sent to Paris to learn worldly wisdom, his preceptors carefully Planning typical Parisian temptations for him. This is regarded by Parisians as the surest way of making a man of the world out of the young man who has toc long been tied to his royal mother’s apron strings. Paris expected the Prince of Wales to blossom out into a thorough boulevardier, taking his part in the gayeties of Paris as his grandfather, King Edward, did in his youth. Aurelion Scholl's bon mot concerning the late King that “The Prince of Wales was a true Parisian, who be- came English only when he ascended the throne,” has been often repeated here lately as an inspira- tion for the young Prince, but instead of show- ing himself inclined to become Parisian he has steadily adhered to his Anglo-Saxon precepts. Spends Sunday in Religious Worship. This is particularly marked on Sundays, which is a great holiday in Paris, all the fashionable world attending the races and other sports. The Prince, however, observes the Sabbath in the En- glish fashion, devoting the day to fseligious ser- vices and short walks. The Prince's daily program is indeed something of a shock to Paris, He rises at 7 o'clock, takes the traditional “cold tub” and has breakfast at 8, eating eggs, meat and toast, which is far re- moved from the continental fare of rolls and coffee. After breakfast, with two friends, he goes for a horseback ride in the Bois de Bou- logne, proceeding very slowly—under the prom- ise to his mother, Queen Mary, not to ride rap- idly for fear of accident. From 9 o'clock till 11 he studies French with his professors. It is said that he is far from proficient in French and al- lows his professors to sustain the conversation. Preserves the Strictest Formality. At 11 o'clock, accompanied by two friends, he takes a stroll until luncheon, which is rather

HE PRINCE OF WALES’ French is z if very lame, but he writes some of his letters home from Paris in that lan- guage for practice, in order to have his father and grandmother (Queen Alexandra) correct his errors. He wrote in English the other day to his sister, Princess Mary, that he never tires of walking about; everything is so gay and the Parisians look so jolly and enjoy them- selves so much, and it is 80 much livelier than London. He closes in this way: ‘Tlow are the dogs and birds? Let me know how the gardens look at the cot- tage.” Copyright, (New

At 5 o’clock he receives and pays visits and at 8 he dines formally alone, except twice a week when he is accompanied by his host, the Marguis de Breteuil. With his dinner he only drinks water, which fact has shocked Paris a good deal, It is re- called how great a connoisseur of wines was his grandfather. He goes to bed early except twice a week, when he attends the theater, his visits in this direction being limited to the opefa or the Com- odie Francaise. ‘The Prince is still a little boy close in the garden of his home,” say the Parisians sadly. “He has not yet jumped over the wall.” FLOWER DAY Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1912, by Press Pub, Co. (New York World.) LONDON, Aprii 13.—Queen Alexandra day will be celebrated June 26, by London's grand dames and daughters going about the West End selling flowers for the benefit of the King Edward Hos- pital.

Westminster, the Duke of Alba and her brother- in-law, Count Hochberg, she went up to Khar- toum. The party was away 89 days. At Khartoum the Sirdar’s wife, Lady Wingate, gave no entertain- ment for them, which society regards as a dis- tinct intimation that such behavior was not ap- proved. The whole party returned to Cairo a few days ago and embarked for Marseilles. Even in these emancipated days these pro- ceedings, though carried on with candor that should silence gossip, have caused widespread comment, many people seeing in the Duchess’ ac.- tions an attempt to pay back the Duke in his own coin for his bohemian conduct, J.

The Thomas-Wade day at noon, when Wade became the Sewell Thomas Jr. of Denver, Colo., were called a small home wedding, but the decorations and arrangements were &e elaborate as for a brilliantly large afiair and in exquisite taste. An orgen was erected in the hidden by ferns and Easter lillies, and when the strains of the bridal chorus from Lobrengrin pealed forth, the bride descended the broad stairs with her father. The ballustrade was twined with feathery ferns and Easter lilies, vhich were used in great clusters throughout the house. Miss Florence Wade was the only bridemaid and preceded her sister down the stairs and into the living room, at one end of which the mantelpiece was banked with lilies, ferns and vines, and at either side were tall standards of lil- In this bower the bride and bride- groom gtood during the ceremony and to recelve the guests afterward. The bride's gown was of white satin charmuese with quantities of fine point cde Venlse lace trimming it. Her long tulle vell was bordered with the same lace. The bridematid’s was made of cream-colored Valenciennes lace, with a quaint little apron of pale blue silk which had a bib and reached to about the knees, where a sash of the silk was brought from the lower edge at each Bide and tied béhind into a bow. The lower part of the skirt was ruffied knee high with ten-inch Valen- ciennes edging. A large hat of sheered luce with a stunning bow of the -blue silk finished her costume. The jresents were very handsome. There were eighteen silver candle- sticks in sets and pairs—all beautiful; two dozen and a half silver bread and butter plates, eight silver trays, four silver services, a wonderful gold com- potier and the bridegroom's present was a gorgeous diamond ring set in platinum. Miss Ida Holliday's marriage to Charles E. Bascom the same day was the typical afternoon church wedding, so fashionable in New York. The sunlight shown softly through the stained glass windows and made the spring hats and frocks more lovely. There was no artificial light of any kind and th* church—Central Presby- terian—one of the handsomest churches in the city, was just a mass of color against which the slim young bride in her white robes stood out more dis- tinctly. She wore some rare old lace that had been in the Holliday family for years— it was rose point, creamy with age. The shaped berthe belonging to the set was arranged as a cap—the point in front and the long ends crossed behind at the base of her coiffure, falling into the folds of the illusion bridal veil. The bridemaids, who wore pink gowns with trains of chiffon falling from the shoulders, came from the doors at either side of the chancel and marched down the side aisles to meet the bride: they crossed at the entrance of the church and went back to the altar and stood in the usual way. The entire chance! was banked with palms and hundreds of Easter lilies and in the afternoon light the effect was lovely. The next evening Miss Emilie Hay- dock-Camp and Frederick Clinton Lake _ were married at Christ Church Cathe- @ral at 8 o'clock. It was one of the most brilliant weddings of the year. As the bridal march was sounded two of the ushers, Messrs. Blaisdell and: Wesley Shapleigh, entered, followed by Mrs. Neilson Sharp of Philadelphia, one of the matrons of honor, preceding two bridemaids, Misses Margaret Shapleigh and Ethel Cox. Then came two more groomsmen, Mr. Julian Nugent and Dr. Grandison Royston, followed by Mrs. Charles M. Morton, a matron of honor, and Misses Helen Bonsack and Lacy Norvel next. Messrs. Guy Oliver Charlies M. Morton followed, then Mrs. Cari Gray Jr. of Portiand, Ore., the matron of honor, and directly tn front of the bride, who was on the arm of her father, John Paulding Camp, walked littie Louise Lake, the sister of the nuptials Wednes- Miss Marie Louise bride of Clrarles library, ies. eown ir litte ieee tei mathe wetinnn of white silk covered with rose lace, with a court train of the bridemaids were gowned alike in ee sree Bink eatin. ey week promises to be one of the functions Two of the leading musical events, Apolio Club concert, busiest of the season in for each after- the London the same are scheduled will be on the Bal de Coiffure at the Bucking- U.

Large receptions followed both the church weddings and the house decora- tions were elaborate, with Easter lilies predominating. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Iddiols of the Buckingham sailed Thursday from New York on the Carpathia for Europe to spend several months traveling.

SPITZ DOG SERVES FOR MISSOURI HOUN’ Pair Commissioners at San Fran- cisco Unable to Get a Real Dawg for Ceremony. SAN FRANCISt9, April 13.—The ceremony accompanying the official selections of the Missouri Building site at the Panama Exposition grounds came near being a failure because Commis- sioner J. E. Black did not realize the scarcity of ‘“‘houn’ dawes”’ in Frisco. The Commissioner thought he could whistle one up at the time needed and let it go at that. But a friend gave him a warning and at the last moment there was a scramble and not a houn’ in sight, so a spitz dog belonging to a former Missourian had to be pressed into service. More than 500 Missourians withnessed the ceremony, among them Major-Gen- eral Arthur Murray, commander of the Department of the Pacific, a native of Pike County, and former Attorney-Gen- eral Tirey L. Ford, recently elected president of the Missouri Club.

New Paris Method Is to Let Guest Come When He Feels Like It and Menu Is Plain. PARIS, April 13.—A violent reaction is setting in against exaggerated form of hospitality. The priceless and fantastic table decorations, marvelous drapery and elaborate ritual observed in serv- ‘+ = dinners is giving way to a simplicity which bids fair to go to the other ex- ‘reme. “*r more striking, however, is the evolution in the method of inviting ‘Tiends to dinner. Tickets for admission to dinner on any day the rrecipient cares to call are issued by families, who find that in this way a great deal of bother is avoided. Here is the trans- letion of the wording on one ticket: “Valid for one meal, either luncheon or dinner, with Monsieur and Mme. X. This ticket, being strictly personal, will be worthless if sold, presented or ex- hanged. The holder has not the right lo demand a money equivalent in place of the meal. To be presented at the door.”’ The hostesses present tickets to friends by hand or mail, and say that one of the chief charms of the new style of invitation is the pleasant ignorance as to who is coming to dinner, while the suests who come when it suits them are better company than under the old form

Many a heart throb of happiness has resulted from the return of lost articles through the Post-Dispatch Lost and bound wants.

19TH MULATTO GIRL KILLED BY “RIPPER” Body Is Found Mutilated as Others Were and Atlanta Ne- groes Are in Terror, ATLANTA, Ga., April 13.—Atlanta’s “Jack the Ripper’ claimed his nine- teenth victim when he enticed Mary Kates, a comely 18-year-old mulatto girl into an alley, cut her throat and then mutilated her body about the breast and below the waist. The mutilation wag evidently done with a surgical instru- ment and the slayer had some anatomic- al knowledge. Mary Kates is the nineteenth yellow girl who has been murdered in Atlanta in nine months. All the murders, the police say, have been committed by one person who has come to be known as “Jack the Ripper.’’ In every case the “ripper’’ cut the throat of his victim and then multilated the body. The negroes are in terror and have offered large rewards. In no case has the murderer killed a black woman and in nearly every case he has cut out and carried away a@ portion of the body.

Prudent landlords and agents never let their properties remain vacant—they list them in the Post-Dispatch want col- umns.

Cruelty te Monkey Costs $25. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 13.—A car- nival proprietor who allowed visitors to throw a ball three times for a nickel at a young monkey was arrested here and and fined $2. Occasionally the monkey did not dodge quickly enough and it howled piteously when hit.

SLOT MACHINE WAR WAITS ON DECISION Oklahoma Law Against Devices Is Held Invalid and Case Is Appealed. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., April 12.— Law and order leagues, women’s Chris- tian temperance unions and other or- ganizations that for three years have been waging war against the opera- tion of slot machines will have to sus- rend their efforts until an opinion is given by the State Supreme Court on the validity of the law that prohibits such devices. C. J. Hassman of Oklahoma City, who was convicted in police court on the charge of illegally operating slot ma- chines, appealed his case to the County Court, and Judge J. W. Hayson held that the law is invalid, dismissing the case. This ruling affected 21 other cases in Oklahoma County. A case now probably will be taken to the Supreme Court from some source. While law and order and temperance organizations in smaller towns have been opposing pool halls principally, their secondary consideration has been given to slot machines and other gam- bling devices. This work has been carried so far in some counties that ordinances have been passed by city councils and boards of trustees approaching blue laws in their stringency. Moving picture and other theaters have been forbidden to operate on Sunday, Sufiday baseball has been prohibited and other forms of en- tertainment put under the ban.

To keep your complexion smooth, fresh looking and free from chaps in all kinds of weather, you will find nothing better than 4a splendid greaseless cream made as follows: Stir 2 teaspoonfuls glycer- ine and one ounce almozoin in % pint cold water. This fine cream- jelly will make your skin goft and smooth and is very cleansing and healing. It will not grow hair and gives excellent results in removing blackheads and reducing enlarged pores. This cream affords the very best protection to the complexion at all seagons of the year. N. C.: Do not have any fear about taking parnotis to reduce your weight. If you will dissolve 4 ounces of parnotis in 1%, pints hot water and take a tablespvonful be- fore meals, you will lose your excess fat quickly without any injury to your health. This remedy is abso- lutely harmless, very effective and does not cause a flabby, wrinkled skin. You need not diet or exercise violently to get proper results from this simple remedy. Clara T.: Yes, a genuine hair- grower has been found at last. Keep the scalp clean by frequently sham- pooing with canthrox and rub into the scalp twice a week a tonic made by dissolving an ounce of quinzoin in % pint alcohol, then adding % pint cold water. This excellent remedy refreshes the scalp and makes the hair bright and glossy. It stimulates the hair-roots and keeps the hair in a healthy, grow- ing condition. For dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, you will find this remedy unequalled. -_-__o-s Mame G.: Vaseline will not grow hair. Rub a littlé pyroxin on eye- brows with forefinger and they will grow thick and silky. If your lasheg/| very are stubby and thin, apply the forefinger. This makes them grow long and curly, but be careful and don’t get any where hair is not wanted.

SUNDAY “MORNING, Senator Shocked When Nature Saves U. S. $5000

Own Accord. Just as Gamble of South Dakota Is About to Get His Bill Through for Appropriation to Blow Out a Missouri River Gorge, the Jam Breaks of Its

WASHINGTON, April 18. ATURE, through the sun's assist- N amee, saved the United States $5000 and prevented Senator Gatn- ble of South Dakota from getting an ap- propriation that was to be his for the formal asking. It was all a great shock to the Senator, who likes to pick up easy money whenever he can for the folks batk home. Senator Gamble arose and was recog- nized by the chair. In his hand he held a resolution appropriating $5000 to pay the expense of dynamiting an ice gorge in the Upper Missouri at Yankton. He Was prepared to tell the Senate in @ few brief and convincing words how grave the danger was and how impera- tive the neoessity of financial aid. He had already told most of the members privately—that is, enough to insure easy passage for his bill. He had just projected his chest, when a page rushed in with a telegram. Eagerly the Sen- etor opened ft, expecting it would re- late some new peril from the gorge. But this is how it ran: “Gorge broken. No appropriation needed.” The Senator was so shocked he sat down without saying a word. DEAN SWIFT’S SERMON SHORTEST ON RECORD. HE wit of being brief was under Eg discussion in the cloakroom whe Representative Lafean quoted the shortest sermon on record. It was de- livered by Dean Swift, one of the few rreachers who have racehorses named in their honor. “Dean Swift attended a missionary meeting one time,’ said Representative Lafean, ‘‘and was invited to deliver a psermon. The pastor wanted to get down to the main part of the business as quickly as possible and cautioned the popular preacher to make his sermon as short as possible. He did, and it didn*t take him any horse ‘Dean Swift’ would require to run a quarter of a mile, which was about 24 seconds. This is the sermon: ***T will.take for my text, loveth a cheerful giver.’’ If you Ilbke the security, chip in your cash—amen.’ ”’ col- his YOUTHFUL CONGRESSMAN MISTAKEN FOR A PAGE, EPRESENTATIVE Biba. R MURRAY of Massachusetts has been mistaken for a page so often that he contemplates wearing side whis- kers Or some other indication of age for protection. Murray is 2 vears old put looks about twenty, and even his leagues cunnot always remember boyish features. The latest indignity heaped on Murray was when Representative Sulzer beck- oned to him and said: “Here boy! Run over to my committee caom with these papers and come right back” “Yes, sir,’’ said Repreeentat:vs Mur- ray; “right away, sir.’’ When he returned the Congeressma.: from Massachusetts went to tre desk of the Ccayressman fron: New York snd said: “The next time you want me tt? run an errand for you I wish you would ad- dress me as Mr. Murray.” WASHINGTON DELIGHTED AT DR. WU’S RETURN, HE best thing about the Chinese - revolution from ‘hh. Weel:me’on point of view is that Dr. Wu Ting Fang is coming back to represent his country agé&in. Press agents of the world, acccrding to a member of Congress, rank as fol- lows: P. T. Barnum, Thea ->lonel and Dr. Wu. The first named iias been gathered to his fathers. the star of the second is waning and wr. Wu wiil find his return tir.ed by a kind!y fate. When he went heme he told all his friends he would come back, “‘maybe not soon, maybe in 8% years, but I'll come back.”’ From Washington he car- ried home several boxes of curios, in- cluding a typewriter, a graphaphone and dress suit. “What are you going to do with tlat thing?”’ asked en American fricnd, ro- ferring to the dress sult. “Hang it on the wall, just as you Americans hang Chinese kimono for show,” said Dr. Wu. TALKING PHILANTHROPY ' AT A POLITICAL CAUCUS, OV. TENER of Pennsylvania G came down to Washington to have a heart-to-heart talk with the congressional delegation from his State who are nearly all of the G. O. P. faith and was given a dinner at the New Williard by Sen- ator Oliver. The Governor was the principal after dinner speaker and in his re- port of State conditions he grew so interested in what had been done for the insane that he wandered on and on until big Senator Boise Penrose, Republican boss of the State, began to grow weary and fill his napkin full of yawns. When the Governor reached a watering place Senator Penrose re- marked, while the executive throat was being garglied, “He certainly is more sympathetic about the insane than he is about us sane.” TELLS WHY MISSIONARIES CAN’T CONVERT HEAD HUNTER ERY satisfactory progress ig V being made in the Philippine Islands,” said former Repre- sentative the American plan Adam Bede. “Schools on with American teachers are doing splendid work and one of the strongest evidences of a new standard of civilization is that baseball has taken a strong hold on the youngsters, There are all sorts of interschool and intercity leagues playing. “The missionaries are doing fairly well except among the more savage tribes, The failure of missionaries among the head hunters is due chier- ly to the fact that the converteg

Gallagher began life as a puddler, but by the time he graduated he found the work was going to be so hard that a man of his brightness would not be justified in following it as a vocation, so he asked for a job in a hat store, and got it. His place was not secure until an old German walked in and wanted a new hat, proposing to pay $1 and trade in the old one, which was made in Germany. Gallagher sold him a $1 hat, got the price and the old hat. Then he looked over the antique bonnet and praised it so highly that its former owner bought it back for 50 cents. This made Gallagher’s position secure, and by the time he was a candidate for Congress he had a string of hat stores around Chicago.

longer than the | “The Lord | treatment, formerly known only to doc- tors, will give prompt results. “Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of Calocide compound in a basin of warm water. Soak the feet in this for full fifteen minutes, gently rub- bing the sore parts.” The effects are marvelous. All pain goes instantly and the feet feel simply delightful. Corns and callouses can be peeled right off; bunions, aching feet, sweaty smelling feet, get immediate relief. Use this a week and your foot troubles will be a thing of the past. Calocide works through the pores and removes the cause. Any druggist has it in stock or will quickly get it. A twenty-five cent package ig said to be enough to cure the worst feet.—ADV.

Sleeps in Brass Bed Eats From Silver Plate. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., April 13.— When caretakers for the house on Miami street formerly occupied by Col. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Cheever, and now owned by Mrs. Cheever, entered today they found that a tramp ha taken possession. The house is richly

furnished, and with the absence of the owner has been without a tenant ex- cept the tramp. He had slept on the spotless linen in the massive brass beds, washed his hands in marble basins, waltzed with his brogans on the Oriental rugs, eaten from silver plate and drunk from cut glass goblets. Cans of imported dain- ties were robbed of their contents and cob-webbed bottles taken from_ the musty hiding places in the cellar bins.

| CATHOLIC PRIEST IS ELECTED MAYOR

He Is Said to Be First of His Church So Honored and Gets Big Majority. LAPEER, Mich., April 13.—The recent city election here was of more than lo- cal interest, because, for the first time in America, a Catholic priest, Father P. R. Dunnigan, has been elected to a

mayoralty. Father Dunnigan is a public-spirited man of affairs, chairman of the Com- mercial Club’s Executive Committee, and chaplain of the Second Regiment, M. N. G. He had no intention of becoming a candidate, but attended the Republican convention, and, much to his surprise, was nominated. He told his friends he did not think he could be elected, be- cause he did not feel disposed to make a campaign. Meeting his opponent, Dr. Tinker, Father Dunnigan proposed that they trade votes, and let their cam-

paigning ond at that. During the campaign & local’ paper suggested the unfitness of Father Dun- nigan, because the Mayor was ex-officio a member of the School Board. This dragged the priest's religion into the fight, and he went in with it. He de- clared his religion, and that of every other man, was a sacred thing, and not to be made part of a political cam- paign. He was elected by a good ma- jority.

CONCORD, N. H., April 13.—Frank A. Bryer’s engagement to marry Mrs. Katherine M. Bryer, law, has become of State-wide interest, his daughter-in- because Bryer, a former member of the

New Hampshire Assembly, has declared his intention of having the law which prohibits such marriages, repealed or a special act passed legalizing his mar- riage. While the controversy is only a few days old, already have been drawn into it Gov. Robert P. Bass, who opposes any loosening of the reign on Cupid, James French, veteran legislator and an “Assembly boss,’’ who is willing to help Bryer, but will oppose repeal of any marriage law, and all of those who are leading the hasty marriage fight, ana who caused the late Legislature to pass a bill requiring that five days shall elapse between the obtaining of the li- cense and the marriage. The romance is a pretty one, and folk in the mountains like to tell of it. Near Sandwich everybody remembers when, almost four years ago, Charles Bryer, son of the wealthiest farmer and lead- ing citizen, married: Katherine Fleet, his former schoolmate, and a society girl of Belmont, Mass. Son Killed; Wife Dies. Then, March 29, 1910, Charles Bryer was killed by a train, and his bride hurt. Mr. and Mrs. Bryer had _ the sympathy of the neighbors, and their widowed daughter-in-law spent much time with them after her recovery. But the mother did not recover from the shock, and died Sept. 6, last year. After her death Mrs. Katherine Bryer was much at her father-in-law’s home, and was regarded as the hostess there. Neighbors commented much upon the evident affection between the two, and the announcement a few weeks ago that they were to marry was not a great sur- prise. Then some one pointed out to the bride-to-be the wedding was to take place at her home in June, this Massa- chusetts law: “No woman shall marry her father, grandfather, son, grandson, brother, stepfather, grandmother’s husband, hus- hand’s father, husband’s grandfather, husband’s grandson, sister’s son, father’s brother, mother’s brother. “This prohibition shall continue, not- withstanding the dissolution by death or divorce of the marriage by which the affinity was created.”’ He Finds Many Difficulties, Bryer, knowing that New Hampshire copied many Massachusetts laws, looked into the statutes of his State and found the same law is there. Maine and Ver- mont also have this statute. New York geemed the nearest place for the wed- ding, but lawyer friends told Bryer that any person could cause him trouble aft- er he had returned here by questioning the legality of the marriage and that they could not guarantee the decision if the ceremony was tested in court. Bryer holds that it is absurd to bar marriage of bloodless relatives. Then Bryer decided to have the law] . -—--—- - changed or a special act passed for him. He has set about working out this plan with all the energy of a man of 45 who has made a fortune and a name for himself. But a hard task awaits him. Gov. Bass says that he does not be- lieve the marriage laws should be weak- ened in the least and that he doubts the ability of one man to swing legislation in hig behalf. There is an election in- 4ervening before the Assembly will meet and be able to consider Bryer’s love affair and it may be that Bryer’s en- gagement will become an issue. : MAMMA WHIPS A MASHER MUNCIE, Ind., April 13.—It cost D. oO.

The light receipts are causing advances in values and nearly all classes of killers show some gain over last week. Steers made up a lib- eral part of the killing aggregate. On the ae day of the week al] classes moved at a 10-cent advance, but a gen- erous cupply on Tuesday caused the ad- vance to lost. However, a light sup- ply on the mid-week market caused another gain, and the close finds best beeves 10c to lic, and the medium kinds a big dime higher than a week ago. Quality has been very good and a drove of heavies sold at $8.50, the high top for the year. Several loads moved at $8,25, with the bulk of the good kinds from $7.2 to this price. Medium pre- dominated, making the bulk of the showing clear between $6.50 and $7.50. The trade on the butcher classes has been very uneven. Lightweight heifers and yearlings have been in liberal of- fering and closed 10 to lie lower than @ week ago but the medium grades have been active sellers and are strong to a dime higher than last week/s close. Quality has been generally good. Best heifers sold up to §7.25, with a range of $6.00 to the top moving the big end of the supply. Cows Are Active. The trade om cows ag been very ac- tive at each session. he supply has hardly filled the demand, particularly the best grades, which closed 10c to l5c higher than last Friday. Medium kinds have been active sellers and close ruled strong to a dime above last week. Quali- ty has been fair to good, and one head on the prime order sold at $7.25, equal to the top for the year. The bulk moved between $4.50 and $6.00. Canners and cutters have been active sellers all week, on a strong basis. The bull offering has been small and a good demand caused a big dime ad- vance. Calves were hit hard and are selling a dollar a hundred lower than last week's close. Feeders show a gain of 10c to lic, with best kinds at $6.25, and stockers were active sellers on a good steady market. Southern receipts for the past week have been light. Salesmen have hard- ly had enough to try to advance prices’ and the close shows. little change as compared to a week ago. Steers predominated by a@ large ma- ority. Texas beeves were in major- ty and a drove sold at $7.50, mak- fg a high record for several years. Another large string sold at $7.10, with a range down to $6.50 catching the supply. Another feature sale was two cars of Alabama fed beevesg that sold at $7, and two at $6.85. Both of these were record prices for several years on Alabama stock. A _ small showing of Arkansas steers was re- ceived and sold at the market’s rul- ing, bringing from $5 to $5.35. . Hogs in Sharp Necline. Only a moderate supply of hogs

most 25c lower last week than the previous week. All buyers seemed to be in a bearish- mood and all hogs were on a lower basis, but the pigs and lights suffered most and were as much as 60c lower than the middle and latter part of the week. Packers were also hard to deal with and ham- mered the market hard. The fore part of the week the top ranged around $8, or slightly higher, but after the middle of the week it dropped under $8 and remained there to the close. Good medium and heavy hogs were ready sale to the butchers and shippérs at $7.80@8.05, while the mixed oars sold to the packers at $7.25@7.75 as a rule, although the of their purchases were on the light- weight mixed order. The trade for pigs and lights was in rather bad shape as orderg from the East were limited and the local slaughterers wanted only the heavier offerings. Best lights sold at $7.25@ 7.85, fair grades $6.50@7, best pigs under 110 Ibs sold at $6.25@6.75, fair kinds $6.25@6 and the throwout rough hogs $7.25 @7.65. Fancy Prices for Fat Sheep. A moderate supply of sheep was re- ceived and the market was active all week for the good, fat offerings with priced really on the highest basis they ave been for more than two years, but the offerings that were not fat wére not any better than the previous week. Buyers showed a greater preference for the good, fat offerings than any time this year. Most of the arrivals were from Colorado. Prices were 15@25c higher as a rule. Best fat Colorado lambs sold at $7.85@ 8.40, fair grade lambs went oe OT , and those that were not fat at $t. 7.00, Clipped lambs sold up to $7.26, but most of them went at $6.50@7.00, and the culls $5.00@$6.25. Yearlings sold at $6.60@7. Best fat mutton sheep went at 5 0@ 6.2%, with clipped wethers up to $6.26, A good many wool ewes sold at $5.75@6 with some that were not 60 very good at $5.50. Thin sheep were poor sale, as the slaughterers did not care for them at any price and the demand from th country was limited; Bucks sold a $4.50@5.00 and met with a good demand if they were fat. Horse and Mule Review. The receipts of horses were rather heavy all week for this period of the year. Buyers were numerous, the ma- ority coming from the East. The mar- et each day ruled steady to strong on all grades except small southern horses. This class was in poor demand and sold on weaker basis. All good Eastern and Southern horses found an active market with prices showing steady to strong. Draft and wagon horses also gold steady. One of the slowest and most unin- teresting mule markets of the year pre- vailed during the past week. Little trading was done. eceipts were nor- mal for this time of the year. Trading on cotton mules was cut off altogether because of the flood, while a large num- ber of this class is being received. This class is from $10 to $15 lower than a week ago, All other grades were siow sellers and sales each day showed that lower values were being paid. CHICAGO PROVISIONS.

I might hope to realize my monumental ex- pectations next week, perhaps, but not today— mot on the very eve of the first call to bat, when all is in a state of tense excitement and impa- Thus was I warned, and headed off, and inter- _tepted, and made to feel as an intruder when I merely to renew my acquaintance with . And so I sat in the anteroom of the ante- mm to the anteroom of the above-mentioned tional baseball army on the eve of battle, and if she’d been a man, I should never have pre- sumed so far. But all the world knows by this time that the owner of the Cardinals is a woman. And a woman is supposed always to have time for everything—especially the little odd jobs, is she not? Was here at last an instance where all thought of sex inequality was forgotten or disregarded, ard by men themselves? I pondered. Was here at last a position in which a woman was to be taken as seriously as a man in like position? Then, I concluded, we'd all better turn our heads toward the baseball field of endeavor, ladies gay. But, above all, did I have to readjust in my mind my impression of the Mrs. Britton I met in Cleveland a short year ago, when I journeyed to that city to interview the first and only base- ball magnate. (I invented the word magnette for her then, I believe.) BEWILDERED BY LEGACY RECALLED her at that time as a much pro- J toctes reluctant, rather bewildered little fig- ure, in her mourning garments. If she'd in- herited a white elephant, she couldn’t have seemed more wonder-eyed and awed by her new possessions. I recalled how a large, ferocious, terrifying gentleman of the name of Abercrom- bie, constituting himself outrider, sentry and guard of the household, paced up and down the veran- da of the handsome lake-front home of the late Stanley Robison to protect the heiress from one lone, cold, shivering female—myself. And how I beat upon the ramparts of that beleaguered cas- tle for two whole days until the princess in the tower herself heard my cries. I recalled how when she did become aware of my existence she brushed right past Mr. Abercrombie, took the situation into her own hands and invited me in. I recalled noting then, while she talked to me, a firmness of chin and spark of spirit in her eyes that asserted themselves in spite of the sub- dued gloom of the mourning household, and how I predicted at the time how these were omens that augured much in the destiny of the Cardinals, CHANGES OF A YEAR S I was saying, there was time enough to turn these matters over in my mind as I waited and waited. Suddenly a cerise- colored hat and a familiar figure appeared on the other side of Robison Field. Of course, the offi- clals, semi-officials and the other kinds of offi- clals about the entrance to that much-fenced, railed-off and padlocked park would have headed me off again. But remembering how Mrs. Britton had once before taken matters into her own hands, I just dashed right through my discour- ’ . el I, cette ue te

I found Mrs. Britton somewhat changed from the demure, housewifely little person of a year ago, but hospitality itself. She led me to a seat in the empty grandstand, dusted the peanut shells off, apologized for the untidiness of her “house,” and, while the base- ball world waited, she found ‘time to talk with me aS Woman to woman. NO TIME FOR SHOPPING oT HERE is an infinity of detail to be ar- ranged before the opening of the sea- son,” she began. “The park and grand- stand acradeauhents seem to have devolved on me, and things have all piled up at the last mo- ment. You see, I am one who believes in build- ing up the team first and the grandstand after- ward, instead of vice versa, as is sometimes done “That ground is still pretty wet there in that right infield,” she interrupted herself. Always, in fact, she kept one eye on the field and the men working at a practice game going on before us.. “I was afraid of that when I walked over it @ moment ago,” she continued. “Yes, indeed, there are more little things to be looked after than I was accustomed to in keeping even our big house in Cleveland. It is the supreme test of how busy I’ve been when I tell you I have not even had time to shop, for I love to shop.” Now, Mrs. Britton is never anything if not well-groomed, and well gowned. I took in her smart appearance, from her saucy red hat to her white-topped shoes, observed that her taflor- made suit was the very newest possible cut, and I must have looked my incredulity, for she added: “Mrs, Evans, who lives with me, takes all these matter off my hands, and I’ve just been so busy with my baseball -work that I’ve had to turn my home and children over to my mother; but only for a little while, of course. When the season gets started things will slow up. Then I shall get an apartment in St. Louis and keep house again. Pitor ee NEEDED AN OPPORTUNITY _ HEY’RE hitting much better this morn- ing,” she remarked, as & sharp crack and singing sound rent the air. “All I needed was an opportunity,” Mrs. Brit- ton replied to my comment upon the changes that had come into her life within a year. “Yes, perhaps all any woman needs is an op- i: % Biss yt ae Sara: oa. ; z \ ee va ay ae 2 ee ae a vt eo) ry Bet ‘ . me a Een ol ¥ Rein. a a * ¥ a i * A 4 i ay oaks ey

Ah! they meant for me to hear them, and the crit- icisms and suggestions and—well, I call them Slams, they threw at me, rapid fire!

Reads tn Paper of Wife's Murder. PUEBLO, Col., April 13.—When lunch- ing in the restaurant of the Union Depot here, Glen Goheen, traveling salesman from Kansas City, caught sight of a newspaper headline that told of the murder of his wife at Nowata, Ok., and he started home at once.

cncentiiniieiaindll Home Treatment for Sallow, Wrinkled Skin A. C. F. asks: “What should I do for my sallow complexion, and how can I get rid of my wrinkles?” Sallowness is best removed by re- moving the skin itself. This is ef- fectually accomplished by the use of ordinary mercolized wax, which causes the offensive outer skin grad- ually to peel off, in fine particles searcely noticeable to the naked eye. Within a week or go you will have an enviable complexion, the new skin exhibiting a healthful, youth- ful tint incomparable with artificial coloring. Get an ounce of this wax at your drug store, apply at night like cold cream, only don’t rub it in. Wash it off in the morning with warm water. For your wrinkles try a solution of saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in a half pint witch hazel. Bathe your face in this every morning for awhile. The result will surprise you.—ADV. ——Ee

{DELEGATION WILL LIVE IN PULLMANS, Hotel Rate Problem at Baltimore in June Not Worrying Oklahoma Party. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., April 18.— Whether hotel rates in Baltimore will be unreasonably high at the Democratic national convention is not worrying Tate Brady of the Tulsa, Ok., National Com- mitteeman, for Brady announces he has arranged for the Oklahoma delegation to sleep in the cars which take them to Baltimore. Brady expects 20 men _ in Oklahoma will accompany the delega- tion and a special train probably will be run. Brady has investigated the cost of liv- ing on a train, to the point even of spring onions in wholesale lots, and he finds that the Oklahomans can fare rea- sonably well on $2 a day if they want tr, take advantage of the cuisine to be established on the special. If, however, they do not care for this line of food, they may retain their berths for sleep- ing purposes and fill their stomachs wherever they choose. William H.

~ NORTH VERNON, Ind., April 13.—The _®0lucident arrival of a letter from Jonn P. Quinn with the death of Zachariah Deputy of near this city, has served to recall one of the boldest swindling games ever worked and one which aroused the entire State. Quinn, living at Oi) City, Pa., wrong- fully served seven months as one of the eWindlers, and his letter to Deputy asks that the latter give him a letter show~ ing him innocent of any wrong-doing. Quinn wanted the certificate to answer @-charge of having been a convict. He Was pardoned by Gov. Gray after his innocence was “proven and became 4 leader in the crusades against vice in Yarious sections of the country, but his prison record followed him wherever he went, and when he went into court in an attempt to obtain a conviction af men engaged in illegal practices, ‘us prison record was used against him. A letter telling of his wrongful con- viction and of his pardon was sent to the Penmeylvania city. Obtained 87600. The swindle game was worked by three notorious crooks, and was so bold that the entire State was aroused. Dur- ing the early part of 1887 three men, aft- orward identified as Edward Rice, Fatty Stewart and Punch Mason, registered at the Snodgrass Hotel. They became ac- quainted With Deputy, learned of his Wealth and induced him to draw $7000 from a bank at Seymour. As he returned to this city the ¢rooks met him on. the highway. They asked that they be permitted to count the money, and two of them jumped into @ waiting vehicle and escaped, while the third walked leisurely away. Deputy attempted to follow the men in the bug- gy, but soon gave it up. Then he an- nounced that he would spend $5000 to capture them. The men fled to Terre Haute and later escaped over the line into Canada. In the meantime Quinn and two other men were arrested at Terre Haute, and Ghargead with the crime. They were brought to this city for trial. They were confronted by Snodgrass, owner of tHe hotel, afid his daughter, Blanche. They stated positively that the men un- der arrest were not the men who robbed Deputy. Notwithstanding this failure to entify the three men they were tried, eonvicted and sentenced to prison for % years each. |,Real Swindlers Found and Escape. ’ Deputy was not positive that the right men had been arrested, but it is stated that two detectives induced him to swear They were the men. Months afterward _ real culprits were induced to enter e United States, and they were arrest- 44 at Detroit, returned to Brownstown, mty seat of Jackson County, where y were positively identified by the . They put up a cash bond /$3000 and immediately left town. An eetor was made to arrest them again, t they were never taken for this @rime. However, each was arrested for Other crimes, and each served long terms. t the end of seven months Gov. Gray _beoame convinced that the wrong men had been convicted and he granted them @ free and full pardon.

chosen a new costume or a new trick akimboing their arms, or of drawling their words, all the social small fry must take the cue therefrom. A part of the life of the best of us is set as a burnt offering for vanity. So PARIS, April 13—A remarkable ol manuscript has been discovered by ¢€ Bibliotheque Nationale and is att long as our desires fix themselves in the gratification of vanity, we shall find that all our possessions are dead sea apples and our life is weariness.” Werner. Many members of the Art League were members of the Civic League, and these spoke in favor of the merger. The municipal Art League had a mem- bership of about 100, made up of sculp- tors, architects, artists and business men, and was organized last fall to pro- mote the beautification of the city. much attention. It was prepared in t fifteenth century “for women who wil to be beautiful.” One of the most oie rious passages is the ingenious ¢ fication of female charms in groups three. “To be beautiful,” says the work, woman must have the following white things—skin, hands and three black things—eyes, eyelashes eyebrows; three pink things—lips, g and nails; three long things—life, and hair; three short things—teeth, and tongue; three wide thing shoulders and intelligence; three things—waist, mouth and ankles; delicate things—fingers, lips and three round things—arm, i¢g dowry.” Spirit, creative power of heat. In an opposite sense it sym- bolizes blicod, war and hatred.— Clara E. Clement, Handbook of Christian Symbols. Cure for Poverty When World Is Wrapped Up in Show. KANSAS CITY, April 13.—That our whole gain of modern civilization in science, industry and the art of liv- ing has been more than lost by the waste subsequent to the ceaseless pursuit of fashion, was the assertion of Prof. H, J. Davenport, in one of the series of lectures of the Univer- sity of Missouri extension here. “There is no cure for poverty, when all surplus energy is dissipated in show,” declared Prof. Davenport. “Fashion today is a compound of foolish pride and foolish flunkeyism.

At @ meeting of the Executive Board of the Civic League last week the entire membership of the Municipal Art League Was taken into the Civic League. The amalgamation was the result of a com- munication from the Fine Arts Commit- tee of the Civic League to the Execu- tive Board of the Municipal Art League. The letter stated that better results in efficiency and economy were obtained by co-operation and that so many calls for contributions were made that every effort should be made to prevent duplt- cation of organizations.

Fogle, representing the Chicago Bar Association, today presented the resignation of Attor- ney William Klein of Chicago and moved that his name be _ stricken from the Hst of attorneys of thé State. The Supreme Court allowed the motion. Klein, it was stated by Mr. Fogle, subsequent to his admis- sion to practice in Illinois, had been disbarred in New York for false rep- resentations to the Board of Law Ex- aminers of New York.

The mother of a girl who sits nine hours a day in the dark room, with the red light-flowing over and around her, said: “Since my daughter has been working down there she’s become the sweetest tempered girl I know. She used to get up fussy and cross. Now she wakes up with a smile. She used to have freckles, She hasn’t one. She's grown thoughtful,

and divers are going down to locate the treasure, bu* consignors are not vitally interested, for the insurance company bas already paid the full amount and it is up to them to do the worrying. The masts of the steamer are visible above the waves, and a guard is kept on watch day and night to prevent vol- unteer divers from making a search on their own account. When the divers get into the ship they must first find the purser’s room. In this they must find a desk itn which there is a key. This will open ancther drawer, in which will be found the key to the strong room. If they find the first and second keys, the next diffi- culty will be to fit the second key into the strong-room door. That done, it will be easy, for the specie and bank notes are packed securely in boxes. SCHOOL FRATS CUTLAWED _— — Wisconsin School Boards Can Keep Pupils Out of Them.

ame 3 , ’ > ah OF Become That They Deserted Cross Forewoman. NEW YORK, April 13.—Persons passing the new public playground on Grand street, Hoboken, at noon, are likely to pause in astonishment when the door of a certain brick factory building opens and out come the toil- ers into the bright sunlight reflected from the high gray stone cliffs. “The prettiest girls in the world” is generally the comment. That en- thusiasm may be too great, but there is ground for it. Graceful figures and strawberry-and-cream complexiong are the rule among the young girls who issue from this factory, 1010 Grand street, Hoboken. “Wonder how they get such lovely girls to work for them?” ask neigh- bors. But those who remember the blue glass craze of 30 years ago and the following red glass fanaticism, when women sat for hours in the light of crimson panes to bring back the roses to their faded cheeks, smiled and looked wise. They said the prettiest girls in the moving picture factory were the 40 or 50 who worked in the dark room. They pointed out that for nine hours a day these girls sat in total dark- ness with only the rays of the ruby red lanterns falling upon them, No wonder they were pretty! It was a strike of 20 girls last week that brought into publicity one of the strangest modern occupations for women. No Ray of Daylight There, In the heart of a large building in Hoboken is the printing room, a dark, windowless apartment supplied with fresh air by a power blower. Into it no ray of light of out of doors ever comes. It is here that the films from the moving-picture cameras are made after the photographers have taken the pictures. They are from all over the world and from many stages where love scenes are portrayed. From the negative that results from the camera’s work many films are made. These, on long strips of celluloid, go into moving-picture machines and throw the scenes upon the screens. The big room is approached by a passage that twists and turns to shut out light. One passes along it with the feeling one might experience on enter- ing the forbidden precincts of a sultan’s palace. Suddenly a turn in the passage and there comes the soft clatter of many delicate machines that are perfor- ating the films and printing them, and you see the soft light of ruby red lan- terns hanging fantastically about the room and making one think of China- town on the night of the celebration of New Year's. You hear the soft rustle of skirts, suppressed titters, the drone of a forewoman’s voice giving instrc- tions and always the subdued mechani- cal sound of many machines at work. A Ruby Girl Indeed, The eyes became more accustomed to the darkness. Suddenly between you and a red glass surface over a machine comes the delicate profile of a young girl bending over her work, her hair fluffly glorified by the ruby light behind. As you move about at the suggestion of the guide who wants to explain the machines soft hands come out of the darkness to steer you by the elbows away from chairs or mechanism. There are whispered comments, suppressed laughs and now and then a spoken word relating to the work. You are told that hundreds and thousands of photographs of romantic scenes, pretty women, cowboys, lion hunts, &c., are being printed over and over again here in this chamber of mysteries. Gradually your eyes be- come trained and out of the darkness comes shadowgraphs of young women sitting confortably at their work, but always in the strange contrast of bloodred light and black darkness. The strike was in this factory, Some of the papers printed stories to the effect that it was because they had to work long hours in total dark- ness, that it ruined their eyes, that it spoiled their health. An assistant forewoman who went out with the strikers said the cause of the strike was purely personal—a quarrel be- tween the girls and the forewoman. “The work is all right,” she said. “It is easy, restful and congenial] to most girls, and we haven't any fault to find with the factory, We work nine hours a day in the dark room, except Saturdays, when we only work seven. There is a pretty and pleasant lounging room where we can go out in the daylight when work is slack. The darkness does not hurt our eyes, and the red light is not Injurious so far as I can see.” Hailed as a Nerve Cure. “Bome people have even said it was healthy, that it has a beneficial effect upon the nerves of growing girls. Most of us are between 16 and 21. We have been told that {it improves the com- plexion and makes the mind stronger. I don’t know about that. None of our giris are fussy and cross, I know that. “I don't actually know whether there ja anything in the theory that people who work continually in the rays of red lamps are healthier,” said Supt. Mason. “Our giris here are a pretty healthy and

GUESSING ABOUT BALF OUR British Statesmen Speculate as to Former Leader’s Course. LONDON, April 13.-—The return of Balfour to the House of Commons as a private member has aroused specula- tion as to his future. It is certain he will never resume the thankless and arduous role of Tory leader. At the time he gave up this position he was of- fered a peerace, but decided to remain a little longer in the House of Commons. His elevation to the House of Lords will probably be delayed beyond the present Parliament.

Thirty-eight St. Louis schools aré now represented in the Public School Athletic League that is being organ- ized by the Post-Dispatch. Favorable reports from the schools that have not yet been heard from probably will bring the number up to 50. This means that certainly 38 and probably 50 athletic meets will be held by the boys of as many schools in all parts of the city during the next two months, which will be pre- ceded by several weeks of training, nll of which will be beneficial to the boys in developing their strength and in inculcating the lessons of fair pley. After the school meets there will be more training on the part of the for the inter-school fitials, will bring together at coe bie meet all the winners of all ti.e individual school meets for great- winners which er honors. Mor all the indivicual school meets he Post-Dispatch will give silver “4 bronze medals and for the finals cla, silver and bronze medals, The list of events and the required axes of the entrants are given else- where.

[In the individpal school meets boys of approximately the same weights will compete against each other, and in the finals boys of ap- proximately the same weights will some together from all over the city and strive“for supremacy on equal lerms, Where Boys Will Train. The boys of each school will train on grounds that are most accessible to them, Some will use the playgrounds and vacant lots in the neighborhood of their schools, some will use the public pleygrounds and some the parks. The dShysical instructors at the playgrounds will be glad to advise the boys and in- siruct them in the proper methods of ef training. Captains who want their squads to practice at the playgrounds are requested to confer with Miss Char- lotte Rumbold, secretary of the Public Recreation Commission, at the city hall. fhose who want to train in parks are requested to notify the Public School Athletic League, at the Post-Dispatch effice, what parks they want to use. In schoola where there are not many boys old enough to qualify for the ath- letic squad it may be found advisable to join with some other school. Such fombinations can be arranged by the saptains, in conference with the prin- cipals of their schools. Where such a combination is made, it should be re- ed to the league management, at the Post-Dispatch office. In many of the schools the field meet will be held in connection with the school picnic. Some, however, are planning to have an athletic meet sep- arate from the picnic and make a big Gay of it. Principal Underwood of the Fanning School and Principal Nants of the Garfield School are planning such meets. Supt, Blewett'’s Approval, Athletics for school boys, as con- templated in the Public School Athletic League, have the approval of Supt. Ben Blewett, as shown by the following written statement: “There are fe exceptions to the Deen in successful seven years, rule that there must be a sound body to support a sound mind.

rm ° mm ©;,° j Enforce Their Own Criti- cal Opinions — Other Stage News. American the ment plays. Mr. Frohman made this announcement during the week just closed, replying to the request of a number of New York correspondents of London newspapers, at the moment of his sailing for En- gland, asking for a summary. of his views of existing American theatrical conditions. ‘“‘To mind,’’ said, ‘in America a great change has come about in play producing. Nev York !s still the great commercial! center of the But the country at large has suddenly independent of New York theatrically. outside of New York do not need, nor depend upon, the judgment of New York.

I believe one could now manage A theater anv of the large American Cities and ma successful productions entirely independent of New York, In this respect America stands alone. Where New York was once the chief center for theatrical producing, man- agers now can produce independent of its taste.’’ This ig the plain truth of today’s sit- uatio; in the American theatrical world. It been developing into accomplished fact during the past few years. It is now fully in evidence, New Tork’s verdict on a play no longer car- ries authority.

The only logical explanation tact itself that New York’s ment of dramatic values has been found faulty and misleading. It is eminently nara! that a country should look to its metropolis for critical guidance in matters of art. since all the world’s met- tupvlitan centers, with this one strange exception, have drawn to themselves the best in culture, in art aspiration and in art achievement. It true beyond question that England looks confidently te London, France to Paris, Germany to Berlin, Austria Vienna, for critical guidance in these matters, and with especial confidence in the matter of drama. That it is not true of the Amer- ican playgoers’ attitude toward New York is a fact as evident as it is de- plorable. I have no intention of. at- tempting an analysis of the situation, easy though it is .for an. “‘outsider’’ to name the many widely proclaimed evils that have attended the progress of dra- matic art in the American metropolis. I cherish a sincere conviction that New York will be capable, eventually, of ac- complishing ‘its own theatrical reforma- tion.

Duncan Coverly, the young whom she is posing. He, however, is engaged to the daughter of a wealthy art collector, yet loves Loulse so sincerely that he is willing to break off this engagement. But when he lays his case before Emile Berge- ret, the latter, ignorant of the fact that Louise is his own daughter, quite frank- ly advises the painter to follow the French custom of marrying the rich anc continuing to the poor girl, Sud- denly, however, Emile Bergeret learns that he is Louise’s father, and instantly perceives the dire folly and wrong of the ‘‘French idea,”’ because now it would make a victim of his own daugh- Wherefore, speedily, a very much just and, moral solution of the folks’ problem reached.

On the same night that Mr. Thomas’ play was produced at the Illinois Thea- ter, “A Romance of the Underworld,”’ a new four-act play by Paul Armstrong, received its premiere presentation at the Studebaker, thus giving Chicago the two most important stage events of the week. Holbrook Blinn has the star role in this latest combination of melodrama and heart-interest, the story of which concerns a certain ward politician in a great American city, who, being refused by the girl whom he sought marry brings about the arrest of her broth- er on the false charge of being a thief. The play’s ‘‘big scene’ is said to be reached in the Police Court, where the boy is arraigned, the girl and the man whom she loves being there to fight for him to the last, and the cli- max is said to be of unusual dramatic power. Catherine Calvert played ithe role of the girl, and the company as a whole is credited with clever work. “The author,” writes one reviewer, “has dramatized the love story of a good boy and a womanly girl.”” When it is remembered that good bovs and woman- ly girls have been the heroes and hero- {nes of drama from time immemorial, this doesn't impress one as constituting In itself a startlingly novel achievement. 1o With these things theatrical taking place in this country, the light-hearted Parisian playgoers are now so generally losing their tempers over the obstructing of one’s view of the stage by the pre- posterous head-dresses worn by French women in the theater that their light- heartedness threatens to become merely a memory of bappler days. The new Parisian protest voiced against the feminine craze for aigrettes and for piling coil after coil of false hair onto the natural tresses which alone constitute a woman’s crown of glory. It reached its climax at the dress rehearsal of “En Garde!’ the new comedy by Al- fred Capus and Pierre Veber, at the Renaissance the other night, when, with a very fashionable audience present, it was discovered that the stalls were transformed virtually into a tossing sea of nodding feathers and huge coiffures, on the other side of which an invisible stage mocked the yearning’ desire of masculinity to see the play then, pre- sumably, being performed. Whereupon an infuriated dramatic critic—just think cf it!—arose from his seat at the close of the first act and loudly called upon his fellow men to “scalp the feathers”’ from the heads of the women then and there assembled. This raised a laugh. of course, but later, and in all serfousness the most fervent complaints of the new evil were voiced, and ail masculine Paris is now engaged in the crusade. It is suggested that a fortune awaits the theatrical manager who first wil! be brave enough to put up a sign reading, “Women admitted in their own hair only,” but time alone can tell. ‘When & woman will, she will, you may de- pend on't—and it’s a blind manager in- deed who hasn't long ago perceived that he must look to women for his play- house’s prosperity. The wisely cautious courre is to Induce some feminine lead- er of the “great world” to decree that aigrettes and faise hair are “bad form." is

“THE WOMAN” AND “NEVER HOMES A GUOD STAGE PAIR New Belasco Production and Lew Fields’ Show Head Week’s Plays in St. Louis.

David Belasco’s production of William C. DeMille’s new drama, “The Wom- an,’ will be the Olympic’s offering this week, the engagement opening with to- night's performance. “The Woman” is said to be a strong and vital play, containing a bold ar- raignment of present-day political con- ditions. Its novel note is found in the fact that it causes a little woman at a telephone switchboard to dominate the story, compelling its action and shap- ing its denounement. This woman is Wanda Kelly, telephone operator at the Keswick Hotel in Washington, D. C., where many of the play's people live, and her brave fight, through the me- dium of the switchboard which she con- trols, is made to save the happiness of another woman, a wife imperiled by a sinister development of the absorbing- ly interesting plot. Each character is declared to repre- sent a type of today’s American life, and Mr. Belasco has selected the pre- senting company with unusual care. It includeS James Seeley, Oscar Eagle, Howell Hansel, Hardee Kirkland, Harry Walker, Peter Raymond, Homer Gran- ville, Marjorie Wood and Marton Bar- ney. newest ‘* “The Never Homes,” of the typical “Lew Fields’ shows,’’ comes the Shubert for the week beginning this evening. The play its a satire on the woman suffrage movement, presenting the spec- tacle of a town run by women, accord- ing to feminine ideas, and several of its scenes are said to be singularly amusing. One in particular, shows the interior of a ‘feminized’ fire engine house, including a fire engine and two beautiful horses, with the uproariously funny George W. Monroe as Patricia Flynn, Chief of the Fire Department and political boss of the woman’s party. The clever company headed by Mr. Monroe includes Jess Dandy, famous since ‘Prince of Pilsen’’ days: Al. Leech, eccentric comedian and former vaudeville star; Will Archie, the dimin- utive comedy hit of ‘‘Wildfire:” Lillian Herlein, a local favorite at Suburban Garden several seasons ago: Bessie Clifford, formerly the Yama-Yama Gir! in “The Three Twins; Vera Finlay, Denman Maley, Helen Hayes, Maud Gray, Eugene MacGregor, Nan Brennan and a big and attractive chorus. + c) The Lyman H. Howe Travel Festiva) FOR THE BUST A aew method of home treatment for the development of the bust, orig. inated by a famous physician who used it with great success in a large practice, can now be obtained in this city. Sorose is for only one thing, to in- crease the bust, and it does not affect other parts of the body. It is so uni- formly successfu! that the local agents, Woltf-Wilson Drug Go., are in- structed to sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it is not successful, There is no massaging, no steaming, no rubber appliances, nothing but a scientific treatment that stimulates the natural growth of the bosom and ives an increase of from three to six inches in a few weeks.

Jjand dancing sketch; Sir George Alexander Wants London Municipal Theater

Quite a significant indication of the trend of theatrical thought toward a consistent regulation and support of the stage is found in the fact that Sir reorge Alexander is now championing the establishment of a municipal thea- ter in London, and that the London County Council, of which he is a mem- ber, heartily. indorses his proposition to this end, It is the idea of the distinguished ac- tor-manager that such a theater should be modeled upon those already estab- lished in Germany, where every import- ant town has its municipal playhouse with a director and a permanent stock company under official control. He sug- gests that the director of such a thea- ter in London shall be a trained man

begins a two-weeks engagement at the Garrick, with daily matinees, this even- ing. The principal feature of the pic- tures exhibited will be those showing the burial of the Maine, one of the Strangest funerals of all times, solemn, historic and immensely picturesque. The Howe pictures of this majestic event are exclusive. Another great feature will be a trip through Germany, a pictorial series unique in animated photography, ranging from the ancient buildings of Rothen- berg to an aerial trip on a huge dirig- ible balloon from Gotha to Dusseldorf, K'rankfort-on-the-Main, Elverfield, Falls of the Rhine and Heidelberg Castle. The program also will include views of the Palace of Versailles, the Wonders of Crystallization, the Bee Industry, the Growth of Flowers and many other in- teresting pictures. “The Goose Girl,’”’ a dramatization of Harold McGrath's” greatly successful novel by George D. Baker, comes to the American for the week opening with today’s matinee. The story is a vivid romance of love behind a throne, with a fine rush of adventure and a showing of political chicanery in high places. The play’s action closely follows that of the novel and holds one’s interest from start to finish. It is said to have a most picturesque production and has Leen well received in other cities. Next, “‘Paid in Full.’ The Columbia’s bill this week will be headed by Thomas Jefferson and com- pany in an adaptation of Charles Dick- appealing story, ‘“‘The Cricket on Hearth,’ Mr. Jefferson appearing role of the old toy-maker first created by the late Joseph Jefferson, his father.

The films have been pronounced the acme of up- to-date photography. ‘I depend upon these films for immortality,’’ said Bern- hardt at a private exhibition of the pic- tures. The Merry Maidens begin a week's engagement at the Standard this after- noon. They will present a smartly writ- ten musical burletta entitled ‘“‘The Dash- ing Widow,’’ a bright bill of vaudeville specialties and, as an “attraction ex- traordinary,’’ Chooceeta, the famous “dancer de luxe,’’ in a series of beauti- ful dances. The Bon Ton Burlesquers come to the Gayety for the week opening with to- day’s matinee. They will present a sparkling musical comedy entitled “‘Here, There and Everywhere,” with tert Baker featured, and an entertain- ing vaudeville olio. Next, The Bowery Burlesquers, The famous opera, ‘“‘Wein, Weib, Ges- ang, (‘‘Wine, Wife and Song’’), will be presented by the German stock com- pany at the Odeon this evening for the benefit of Mr. George LaTour-Albrecht, the favorite tenor and stage manager of the company. The opera is full of catchy airs and its story is entertain- ing from the first to the last moment. Paris playgoers are much excited over the fact that M. Vilbert, until recently a music hall star, is to become a mem- ber of the famous Comedie Francaise Company, the “immortals” of France's theatrical world. It is contended that the dignity of ‘‘the House of Moliere’’ suffers by drawing its players from such a plebejlan source, but the opposing argument is that genius is genius, wherever found, and that Vilbert is a dramatic genius. He has just closed a vastly successful engagement at the Odeon and is now to play the princi- pal role in the new De Gorsee and Dar. lay drama, ‘‘Plus Fort Que Sherlock,” at the Chatelet. John Drew’s season in “A S8Bingle Man.” now running at the Empire The- ater in New York, will terminate May 23, and Mr. Drew then will go to Lon- don, Paris; Vienna and Berlin to An several theatrical and social engage. ments.

THOMAS JEFFERSON, Columbia, TIMELY NEWS OF THE MIMIC WORLD Charlotte Walker, a great St. Louis favorite, comes to the Olympic for the week opening next Sunday evening in “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” dramatized by Eugene Walter, her husband, from John Fox Jr.’s novel sf the same title. The play comes direct from an eight weeks’ run at the Chi- cago Opera House, and also has scored a big Eastern success. It tells an ab- sorbing story of the romance of June Tolliver, a Kentucky mountain _ gir, and young Hale, a civil engineer sur- veying the route for a new railroad, and Miss Walker. as June is said to have the best role of her entire ca- reer.

Margaret Illington in her new suc- cess, ‘‘Kindling,’’ will begin a week’s engagement at the Garrick next Sun- day night. This play is by Charlas Kenyon, a San Francisco newspaper man, and scored one of the most genu- ine triumphs of the present season in New York. Its story gives Miss Il- lington the role: of Maggie Schultz, a tenement wife, who becomes a thief be- cause of her poverty-stricken husband's threat that he would kill a child born to share their sufferings, the prospect- ive mother hoping thus to ameliorate their pitiable condition. Miss Illington plays the part with tremendous emo- tional power. Emperor William of Germany recent- ly made his debut as a stage manager, supervising the rehearsals of ‘‘Friedrich der Grosse,’ a patriotic drama by Jo- seph Lauff, produced in Berlin on the occasion of His Majesty’s birthday an- niversary. The Kaiser is said to have revealed much ability in directing the players and also by his own acting tv illustrate how certain roles and scenes should be played. The drama itself, written in blank verse, presents three great scenes in the life of its title role figure. “The Spy” has been decided upon by Charles Frohman as the English title of the new Henri Kistemaecker play, ‘La Flambee,” of which he owns the English and American rights. It tells a story of passion and patriotism, and its second act brings but two persons, a man and a woman, on the stage. An opera entitled “‘The Golden Land of Fairy Tales,” telling a story laid in the times of the Regency, is to be pro- duced at the Aldwych Theater in Lon- don next month. It is announced that ‘a well known dramatist’ wrote the book and a Vienna composer the score. “A Good Little Devil,” a fairy play by Mme. Rostand, wife of the author of “Cyrano de Bergerac” and ‘“‘Chante- cler,”’ recently was produced at the Gymnase in Paris, but fell very flat. It Woman With Marvelously Beautiful Hair Gives Simple Home Prescription Which She Used With Most Remark- able Results. I was greatly troubled with dandruff and falling hair. I tried many adver- tised hair preparations and various pre- scriptions, but they all signally failed; many of them made my hair greasy go it wag impossible to comb it or do it up properly. I think that many of the things I tried were positively injurtous and from my own experience I cannot too strongly caution vou against using Preparations containing wood alcoho! and other potseonous substances.

After my long list of failures, I finally found a gi prescription which I «an unhegitatingly state is bevond doubt the most wcenderful thing for the hair I have ever seven.

Ee Se OLKAHOMA CITY, Ok., April 13.— Since the United States Supreme Court has held that that provision of the Ok- lahoma Constitution forbidding the pip- ing of natural gas to points outside the State is in contravention of the laws of the United States regulating interstate commerce, gas wperators in the Okla- homa fields are preparing to seek mar- kets for their product in adjoining states. The operators most active are those in the Ardmore field in the southern part of the State. They expect to pipe gas to Gainesville, Sherman and Denison, Tex., and smaller towns in North Texas, and are in a race with the operators in the Electra (Tex.) field, 1090 miles west of the Ardmore field. now is being supplied im Dallas and lort Worth from “the Electra field. Recently one of the largest -gassers in the Southwest was brought in in the Ardmore field. In Northern Oklahoma there is a con- test for entrance into Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. Pipe lines are projected to JIAttle Rock, Ark., and Springfield, Mo. The Indian Territory Oil and Gas Wiuminating ©o., reputed to be affiliated with Standard Of] and which has been charged with holding a monopoly in the former Osage Nation. is preparing to construct pipe lines into Kansas and Missouri, Its leases are scattered over a large territory that is underlaid with valuable oi] and. gas deposits. The company’s principal opponent is the Prairie Oil and Gas Co., although the latter company also is reputed to be an arm of Standard Oil. The Ar@more field operators will meet strong opposition from those operating in. the fields adjaccnt to Okmulgee and Muskogée and probably those in the original Oklahoma fields near Tulsa and Sapulpa. These operators also will have a@ race for the business in Western Ar- kansas. The first official act of Gov. Haskell on the day that President Roosevelt signed the proclamation declaring Oklahoma a State was to order the Attorney-General to stop the Prairie Oil and Gas Co. from completing a pipe line from Nowata County, Ok., to Caney, Kan. The fram- ers of the Oklahoma Constitution pro- hibited the piping of gas out of the State on the theory that the supply is limited and that it should be kept at home. Gas Basket Ball Medals.

LINNELL FAMILY REFUSE TO SIGN RIGHESON PLEA Father of Murdered Girl Willing That Minister Should Die for His Crime ARGUMENTS ON APRIL 26 Men of Hyannis, Home of Vic- tim’s Family, Almost a Unit Against Clemency. BOSTON, April 13.—Arguments el save the life of Clarence Richeson, the | Baptist minister who murdered Avis | Linnell, will be heard by Gov. Foss April 26, the | date having. been set on application of W. A. Morse, Richeson’s attorney. The execution is set for the week ef May 19. From a canvass of Hyannis, where Miss Linnell was reared, and where she was a choir singer, and was well and favorahly known, indicates that the plea to save Richeson from death in the electric chair will be made without the usual supporting petition of fellow- townsmen and persons who knew the victim. Few Hyannis residents favor a lessen- ing of the penalty for the confessed murderer, and still fewer will make any effort to save his life. These base their plea for clemency on a belief that Richeson is, and was at the time of the murder, insane. Father Will Not Sign. Edward W. Linnell, father of the 19- year-old girl, states positively that he neither nor any member of his family will sign a petition asking clemency. He does not say that they will oppose the plea made by attorneys and others for Richeson, but there are men in Hy- annis who are ready to devote their time and energy to persuading residents of the village from signing such peti- tion if one is circulated there. Linnell’s appearance shows plainly what the sorrow of Nov. 14 and the strain since that time have meant to him. When asked if he would aid the plea for mercy, he made emphatic de- nial, then added: “No, that would be too much. From a house that was once gay with life and laughter, our home has change‘1 into one of sorrow. I wish no evil to any man. There is one Judge and we are in His keeping. He will adminis- ter justice and I have turned to Him in my hour of need.” Sister Is Outspoken. Helen Linnell, 15 years old, Avis’ chum, and the only one of four daugh- ters remaining at home, was more out- spoken than other members of the fam- ily. “What,” she exclaimed, “‘rommute the sentence of the man who took my sister away from me, after the sorrow he has brought to our family? No, never! ‘‘We took him into our home, received him as we would a brother and when he was ill Avis cared for him. We did ev- erything in the world for him. Com- mute his sentence? I can’t bear to think of it.”’ A dozen men in Hyannis were inter- viewed as chance brought them to the reporter. The following from Nathaniel Bearse, a contractor, who was discuss- ing the case with his workmen at noon, is typical of most of the expressions: Will Oppose Petitions. “Tt knew Avis as a child and I have known Richeson since he first came to Hyannis, and I tell you now I shall do all that I can to prevent anybody signing any petition that will in any way prevent the law from taking its course. I am opposed to having Riche- son’s sentence commuted and I know of several hundred others who are in the same boat with me.”’ The only one who expressed a willing- ness to sign a petition for clemency was Aurin B. Crocker, a deacon of the First Baptist Church, who said: “As on of the deacons of the church where Richeson was pastor, I believe he should he sentenced to life imprison- ment. I was one of the board who asked him to come to Hyannis and I also was one of those who asked him to resign. At the time he resigned I! thought him insane, and [ believe him to be in the same condition today, and for that reason and Sor no other, should he get life sentence.” Two said that they were opposed to capital punishment but that they would not sign a clemency petition & in this case. CAPITALIST CALLS $15 A WEEK PLENTY Owner of Model Tenements De- clares Family of Five Can Save on That Wage. CINCINNATI, April 13.—Jacob B. Schmidlapp, a Cincinnati capitalist, says any family of five Members or less can live on $15 a week, and save $2. Schmid- tenement, and spends thousands of dol- lars yearly educating children. “It is not impossible—for five peo- ple to live on $15 a week and save $2,” he said today. “On $18 a week they should save $1. The trouble is that our American plan of living is too wasteful, and this wastefulness isn’t all on the wife’s side of the family, either. “When I was a young man I lived year I saved $600. That left me a bit more than $1 a day for my expenses. One cannot live in the best fashion on this amount, yet he will be much better off, and will live longer.”’ Schmidiapp asked two Sisters of Char- ity what they thought about the idea, and one of them answered that a family ‘would starve on $15 a week. lean Action WASHINGTON.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., April 13.—A man who owns several business houses and residences on the abandoned town- site of Roosevelt, in Quay County, N. M., will hear from Oklahoma and Texas women in a few days regarding the sale of those buildings. No less than 530 women in Oklahoma and Texaé in two or three years have filed on homestead lands in Quay Coun- ty. Some of them are 4 miles from a railroad and lumber is high and carpen- ters are few. Some of them have hoped, therefore, to make a deal with the own- er of the abandoned houses. This man wrote to one of them as follows: business house on the townsite of velt for $150, but it must be that a deed to the lot it occupies must, accompany the bullding, for I will not sell a building unless the lot also is sold.”’ “What earthly use have I for a lot on an abandoned townsite?’ asks the wom- an. A committee probably will call on the Roosevelt man in a few days and ask him to lower his prices. Congress Congratulates Chinese Republic.

A concession for a railway, which, it is said, will save 2% to 30 days and 18 per cent of the freight on shipments from St. Louis to Central and Southern Honduras, has been granted to Victor Camors, secretary of the Howett Man- ufacturing Co. of St. Louis. News of the grant was conveyed by telegrams received yesterday at the company’s offices, 208 Commonwealth Trust Build- ing. The concession is equivalent to $4,- 000,000 in cash and is reported to be the largest ever granted by the Honduran Government. The railway will be 250 miles long and is expected to be com- | pleted in nine months. It will extend from Truxillo to Tegucigalpa, Jutilpa and Amapala, connecting the Atlantic port with that of the Pacific and open- ing up some of the richest coffee, ba- nana and spice lands in Central Amer- ica. The railway will enable merchants of St. Louis to make shipments by rail to New Orleans, thence by steamer to Truxillo and thence direct to the mar- ket by rail. Shipments for Central and Southern Honduras now must be sent by way of Tegucigalpa. BOB—WiIll I forget? Never as lon have the diamond you bought of on credit to remind me. am I ftis pw hy ud of it.

One of the pleasures which the possession of a genuine Pianola- Piano gives is the satisfaction that you have the very best. Think what a joy it would be if you could sit down and play any composition in the word, no matter how difficult. Let one of these superb instruments open up the treasure-lands of music for you and for every member of your family. Many St. Louisans have felt that even the reasonable price for which a genuine Pianola Piano may be purchased was beyond their present means and they have not cared to compromise by buying a less perfect instrument. \ This special sale, which begins tomorrow morning, promptly at 8:30 o'clock, is a remarkable opportunity for the purchase of a genu- ine Pianola Piano directly from its makers at a large saving from the regular price. The Pianola Pianos offered in this sale are either discontinued styles or instruments that have been taken in exchange for other Pianola Pianos. In addition to the Pianola Pianos mentioned we are offering three slightly used Technola Player-Pianos. These instruments are too well known to need any special introduction. Suffice to say that they are the product of the great Aeolian factories and represent the com- bined efforts of the greatest corps of player-piano experts ever as- sembled. These instruments we guarantee the same as when new. Special Terms Not only are we offering these instruments at remarkabiy low prices, but we have gone a step farther and placed on them especially low terms. A small amount down will place the instrument in your home— the balance may be paid in small monthly sums over a period of three years. You may thus have the pleasure of playing the instrument while you pay for it.

O.

There are over a score of houses in Mayfair and Bélgtavia, where all-night gambling is indulged in- by society per. sons of both sexes and of all ages. Mafiy youngsters, including the sons of men of rank and position, are inveigied to these hells to lose at bacarat, ro.- lett® and other games of chance sums which their parents are called upon to pay in order to avoid public scandals. A Duke's son recently lost $20,000, an‘l & Peer'’s son lost $2500 in a week. A iad fresh from Eton was induced to play, and lost $2000. His mother had to re- deem his I. O. U.’s. A woman well known in society had three sons drawn into one game, She is responsible fer the beginning of the disclosures now made. One Game Keeper Clears $75,000. At many: of these so-called social clubs @ percentage of the stakes goes to the persons running them. The pro= prietor of a gambling house near Ber- keley Square adfiitted recently that he cleared $46,000 out of these percentages alone. There is no difficulty in obtaining ad- mittance. Many baccarat houses issue a gilt-edged invitation to men and wom- en who are known to “like a game.” There is, of course, no mention of bac- Carat on the cards, but the recipients ef the invitations usually know what they signify. One woman, whorsé name is well known ih facing circles, invites those she meets on the turf, and at her élub to & “champagtie suppet.’’ Those who get the invitation know what it means.

THE PROSECUTION. ma made by the ¢ Gow. ernment.) . EWIS in 1908 issued $450,000 T- = per-cent Lewis Publishing Co. 10-month notes, which he said would wipe out al! of the company’s indebtedness, whereas at the close of the note-issuing period the com- pany’s obligations were far fn excess of the note issue. Though $1,216,000 of notes were issued, the debts were decreased only $74,735.72. THOUGH ADVERTISING that he would issue only $600,000 in 7-per- cent notes, including the mortgage on the Woman's National Dafly Building, he issued twice that amount of notes, and half of these were un- secured. HE SENT out circulars saving the unsecured notes would be taken up before maturity by a bond issue to be underwritten by the People’s Savings Trust Co. No guch issue of bonds was undertaken by the trust com- pany and the notes are still unse- curec. \ ALTHOUGH he received $1,180,000 for 6-per-cent notes of the University Heights Realty and Development Co. for the stated purpose of paying off its indebtedness, he spent only $99,- 0009 to pay debts and make improve- ments. LEWIS spent $950,000 of the 6-per- cent note money in purchasing and operating the St. Louis Star and in paying operating expenses of his other publications. IN 1910 he launched. a debenture Plan to consolidate all indebtedness outstanding against him and his com- panies and falsely represented that the Board of Trustees of the fund had subscribed $10,000 each for the debentures. counts of the indietment. He advertisements. his intent was good or bad. ai

Prosecution and Defense in Lewis Case—Judge’s Charge

THE JUDGE’S INSTRUCTIONS. (Judge Amidon spoke to the jury for two hours. of the principal points in his instructions: ) UDGE AMIDON instructed the jury on every point in the 12 tion of intent, and also on the sale of the 7 of the Lewis Publishing Co., the 6 per cent note issue of the Univer- sity Heights Realty & Development Co., the preferred stock of the Lewis Publishing Co. and the debentures. ON THE QUESTION of intent the jury was instructed that Lewis’ hope of the ultimate success of his ventures was no condone- ment for his acts if he knew his statements concerning his business were false at the time he made them. IF INVESTORS were led by Lewis’ advertisements to believe they were buying the real estate secured notes of the Lewis Pub- lishing Co, when they were getting wholly unsecured notes, and if they believed from the advertisements that the notes were safe and profitable investments and would be paid on maturity, the jury was instructed that the use of the mails to circulate representations to create these beliefs and impressions constituted a fraud. HE JURY was instructed that Lewis was guilty of fraud if he knew, when he advertised that 15 per cent dividends would be paid or a specific date on the preferred stock of the Lewis Publishing Co., that the dividend could not be earned and had to be paid out of the net earnings of the company. THE JURY was also instructed that Lewis was guilty of fraud if he used the proceeds of the sale of the 6 per cent notes in his publishing business instead of using it to improve certain pareels of real estate and purchase other parcels, as he represented in the THE JURY was instructed that the fact that Lewis invested his own money in the companies threw but feeble light on whether LEWIS DEFENSE, (The defendant's anmawer in eourt.) EWIS acted in good faith ee and never intended to de- fraud or deceive anyone. He was ambitious to build up a great business with participat- ing stockholders in all parts of the country and he believed his plans were safe and practicable. IN THIS effort Lewis would have been successful but for the interference of the Postoffice Department of the Government which in 1905 issued a fraud or- der against him and his People’s United States Bank and in 1907 denied him the privilege of send- ing three of his publications through the mails as second class matter. HE MADE no attempt to deny each of the specific charges made by the Government. His principal defense was that his plans had been blasted by official interference. 3 TESTIFYING in his own de- fense, Lewis said that he believed every statement made in the ad- vértisements which he wrote to attract the attention of small in- vestors and that he believed he was doing his subscribers a favor by giving them an oppor- tunity to buy the stocks, notes and other sécurities: of his en- terprises. HE ASSERTED that he him- self was the heaviest investor in these enterprises and that he Stood to lose and did lose more than any other individual when his plans failed. Following are some laid particular stress on the ques- 7 per cent note issue

——e so far as to list delegates not yet elect- ed,” said the Taft bureau today. April § a State convention met in Lou- isiana and elected six delegates to the Chicago convention, including two from a congressional district, all instructed for Taft. The Roosevelt committee is claiming today that 20 delegates have been elected and ‘“contested.’’ Dates of seven district conventions yet to be held in Louisiana are given by the Taft people. Arthur Voorys, one of the Taft leaders in Ohio, said today that all is well in the Buckeye State. “The fight there,” said he, “will be aggressive. What we want and intend to get is a victory for President Taft so emphatic and overwhelming that there will be no possible chance for rump delegates. We are not discon- certed by the results in Illinois. Four years ago lllinols was against Taft for the nomination.

If the jury finds him guilty on all counts, the Judge has discretionary power to imprison him anywhere from one hour to 19% years, or fine him from 1 cent to $4500, or assess’ both fine and imprisonment. The indictment consists of four bills. Three of these are in con- nection with the debenture bond is- sues and the fourth with the issu- ance of the 7-per-cent notes.

He ex- pressed pleasure at the prospect of get- ting in another full day’s work today, unless the jury reaches an early agree- | ment. ‘ A cigar in his mouth, his coat off, his sleeves rolled up, a big pad of paper in front of him, Lewis sat for awhile at a desk in the quarters of the United States Circul Court of ‘Appeals and wrote with nervous energy.

cc RULE MISSOURTS

Pete Pe f J a ial ian! PE ae a4 Pe oe STATE CONVENTION Colonel Credited With 610 Votes to Taft’s 426 Up to Date.

Reports received yesterday from every Missouri county which has elected dele- gates to the Republican State Conven- tion to be held in St. Louis April 25 credited Roosevelt with 610 instructee and uninstructed delegates and Presi- dent Taft with 426. The State convention will four delegates-at-large from Missouri to the national convention at Chicago, select the Missouri member of the Na- tional Republican Committee and vote whatever resolutions of indorsement or disapproval it may see fit. Its instruc- tions will be binding upon the dele- gatés-at-large. Otto Stifel is regarded as the leading Taft candidate for na- tional committeeman, while Thomas K. Niedringhaus is supposed to be the chief candidate of the Roosevelt faction. As there will be 1151 delegates in the State convention the figures show that Roosevelt has already carried the State. A Republican statistician who has takete no active interest in the contest be- tween Roosevelt and Taft said yester- day that Roosevelt would have 738 dele- gates in the State convention and Taft 413. In his estimate he credited Roose- velt with 26 votes from St. Louis, while figures given out by Jesse Tolerton, a Roosevelt leader in Jefferson City, cred- ited the entire 245 votes of St. Louis to Taft. Of the delegates elected, 540 have been instructed by primary or conventions to vote for Roosevelt, and 134 have been instructed for Taft. The St. Louis dele- gates are uninstructed, but a big major- ity of them are expected to vote for Taft. Of the uninstructed delegates 70 are credited with being for Rooseveitr and 292 for Taft. The Jefferson County Convention yes- terday went for Taft, which increased his vote to 436, and Johnson county went for Roosevelt. increasing his lead to 629. Contests have been filed in Marion, Lewis, Shelby, New Madrid and Christ- jan counties affecting the seats of 37 delegates. These contests will be set- tled by the State convention. The Kan- sas City Taft leaders are threatening to contest the seats of the ® Roosevelt delegates elected by primary. The First, Second, Fourth and BHighth Congressional Districts have _ elected delegates to the Republican National Convention at Chicago instructed for Roosevelt. The Ninth Congressional District has elected delegates instructed for Taft. The delegates from the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Congressional Districts are uninstructed, but are conceded to Taft by the. Réosevelt leaders. The delegations from the Third, Fifth and Fourteenth Districts are contested. The districts which have not held con- ventions are the Sixth, Seventh, Thir- teenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth. Re- ports from counties which have elected delegates to these district conventions show that Roosevelt will get their ten delegates: If Roosevelt gets the dele- gates from the three contested districts, he will have 24 of the district delegates and the four delegates-at-large, making a total of 2, while Taft will have eight delegates. The Tenth District Convention was held at Clayton yesterday. Otto F. Stifel, who has been leading the Taft campaign in Missouri, and Collector Ed- mond Koeln were elected delegates to the Chicago convention. They were un- instructed. The Taft and Hadley ad- ministrations were indorsed. Dr. Max C. Starkloff was chairman of the con- vention. REFEREE DENOUNCES SANITARIUM PROJECT Asks Court to Deny Charter to International Anti-White Plague Society. A report filed yesterday in Judge Al- len’s court by Referee Linn V. Brokaw recommends that the petition of the International Anti-White Plague Socti- ety for a charter be denied. The pur- poses of the organization, as set forth by the officers, were to establish free dispensaries for the treatment of con- sumptives and to erect a sanitarium in St. Louis County, near Creve Coeur Lake, where the open-air treatment could be had. The referee, who is an attorney and a brother of the late Dr. A. V. lL. Bro- kaw, after hearing testimony concern- ing the purposes, states in his finding to the court that he believes the offi- cers are not actuated solely by a benev- olent spirit, but to further the sale of some preparation. He pronounces the scheme “visionary and chimerica).”’ The officers of the society, as given in the petition, are Dr. E. R. Water. house, president; Willlam B. O'Reilly, 1126 Leonard avenue, a salesman, secre- tary, and Dr. E. J. Hogan, 2018 Olive street, treasurer. Others connected with it are H. A. Henske, an advertts- ing solicitor, and Harry V.

on May 31. She made her tax return June 1, and the next day she again de- posited the $85,000 in the bank. She in- sisted to the board that the government The board de- is sub- currency is not taxable, cided that all forms of money ject to taxation, but because the sum- mons stated that the proposed increase was $81,060, the board could not go above that amount and could not assess the entire $85,000. Miss C. Louise Soeker was more fortu- nate in her showing. She _ inherited $199,850 from the estate of her uncle re- cently. She made no tax return but Assessor Brinkop assessed her for the full amount of her inheritance. She tes- tified that she owns $30,000 in Philippine bonds issued by the United States gov- ernment and exhibited one of the bonds to the board members. She showed that she had invested $5000 in real estate. Protest Is Overruled. The balance of the inheritance was claimed as exempt from taxation by Miss Soeker because it is invested in real estate notes and aeecs of trust. The board overruled her protest as to the deeds of trust and notes, allowed her credit for the real estate notes and Philippine bonds, and fixed her assess- ment at $164,850. This is to be taxed ar 70 ner cent, as in estates. Lilburn G. McNair admitted to the board that as administrator of his wife’s estate and guardian of his two children, he sold Cotton Belt Railroad bonds amounting to $7500 and invested in untaxable government bonds a few days before he made his tax return. He re- sold the United States bonds and agatn bought railroad bonds a few days later. The board increased his assessment from $98, the amount of his sworn re- turn, to $7640. Assessment Raised $800,000, A. D. Brown's assessment was raised $200,000 on notes and evidences of out- standing indebtedness to him, notwith- standing his plea that he owed banks $1,000,000 for borrowed money. Brown's sworn return showed assets of $7910. He listed no notes. He admitted to the board that he held approximately $800,- 000 worth of notes of salesmen to whom he had sold stock in the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., on which he held the stock as security. : When Brown was asked by Judge Rodgers why he had not included these assets in his return, he said that, inas- much as he owed $1,000,000 to his bank- ers, he did not: consider that he should pay taxes on notes and securities he held for loans. Money Lenders Taxed. Money lenders received scant consid- eration by the board. The assessment of the Union Finance Co. was increased to $4200. Sam Lazar, manager of the concern, failed to make a return, As- sessor Brinkop figured his assets at $2100 and the board doubled that amount. Sam Bronstein, a caped with an increase of $1000 on his return. His tax list showed assets of $18. When questioned by the board he said he held solvent notes worth prob- ably $1000. The Provident Loan and Securities Co., formed to eliminate the “money- shark” evil, failed to answer a sum- mons and its return was increased to $50,000. The sworn return of the com- pany stated its assets were worth $642. Successful in Protest. The Union Electric Light and Pow- er Co, will have to pay taxes on per- sonal property valued at $1,089,553, an increase of $650,000 over its sworn returns. A. C. Eckstein, manager of the company, admitted shat no re- turn was made on the poles, wires, conduits and distribution equipment, “Ie said that this property is practi- Gilly worthless except for salvage after it is removed. Attorney Benja- min Senurmacher told the board members that it would be a “severe shoek” to the company to be com- pellead to pay an increased tax after it had voluntarily decreased the price of electric light to the public. The United Shoe Machinery Co, was successful in its protest to the board egainst a proposed increase of $2,000,000 in personal property valua- tion. Its tax return Hsted asseta of $760. Ofticials of the company showed leases of its machines to shoe manufacturers, which specified that the lessees agreed to pay the taxes. The board allowed the assess, ment to stand at $759.

Mrs. Grace A. Leathe was success- ful in one appeal for a decrease on her real estate assessment, but lost her appeal on another plot of ground, She appealed from an assessment of $94,475 on 412 feet of ground at Jeffer- son avenue and Locust street, -but the board refused to lower the figures. On 562 feet of vacant property on Poplar street, between Fourteenth and Six- teenth streets, taxed at $168,750, Mrs. Leathe’s assessment was lowered $190 a front foot, a total of $56,200. The merchants on Washington avenue, between Broadway and Tenth streets, were successful in their appeal to the board for a decrease in the assessed valuation. A flat decrease of 8 per cent on the valuation per front foot was al- lowed, amounting to $992,910.

RUSHED PLAYING AT LUMBER PILE June Geraghty Seriously Hurt by Boards Displaced by Her Companions. June Geraghty, 5-year-old daugh- ter of Charles L, Geraghty of 1417 North Euclid avenue, was perhaps fa- tally injured yesterday afternoon when she was crushed by a fall of lumber while playing with her twin sister, Rose, two other sisters, Cath- erine, 7, and Margaret, 8, and half a dozen children of neighbors. On Euclid avenue, opposite’ the Geraghty home, several apartment houses are being erected, and a num- ber of stacks of lumber were piled up before the uncompleted _ struc- tures. These provided the children with a new playground. They had played hide-and-seek and Seesaw until the interest in the fames wag exhausted. Then several of the children climbed on top of a Stack, about seven feet high, and began dancing on the lumber, June was standing on the ground below, The romping of their feet disturbed a section of the loosely piled planks and they slid off, falling upon the little girl's head. Neighbors found her unconscious under the lumber and carried her home. Dr. Philip Cogan of 4526 Eas- ton avenue, said that her skull was probably fractured, OFFICE COURTSHIP ENDS IN MARRIAGE After 5 Years James McCabe,66, Wed Mrs. Hall, 37; His Pri- vate Secretary.

SUUNDED A CFFERSON DINNER William J. Bryan, Mayor Gaynor of New York, Sen- ator O’Gorman, Gov. Wil- scu and Gov. Dix All Take Prominent Part in Formu- lating Plans for the Cam- paign.

WILSON IS CHIEF SPEAKER AT DINNER

Gotham’s Executive Is Held Up Before the Guests as a Worthy Party Candidate for the Presidency—Tam- many Leader Is Not Pres- ent at Banquet.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 1!°.—Honoring Thomas Jefferson and reavowing the principles on which he founded the Democratic party, five hundred promi- nent Democrats gathered at the annual Jefferson Day dinner of the National Democratic Club at the Waldorf As- toria and heard party leaders of na- tional eminence lay down the lines upon which the forthcoming Presidential cumpaign shall be fought. In introducing Mayor Gaynor, the toastmaster declared him “in every way qualified to fill the highest place with- in the gift of the American people.” The Mayor received an ovation and the applause was continued at intervals throughout his speech, which was chief- ly in criticism of judicial decisions. Col. Bryan was closely attentive to the Mayor's address, and often partici- pated in the applause. In the course of his speech Col. Bryan said: “It is gratifying to me that they_have put at the head of this great city a man who advocates the _ progressive doctrines we have heard here tonight, because he is not as conservative on these questions as I am, and the talk of him for President! What a change! What a change! and with these two radicals to precede me.” tariff reform is to be the paramount issue. This was made clear in speeches celivered by William J. Bryan, Senator sames A. O’Gorman, Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, Mayor Gaynor and Gov. Dix. Gov. Dix, in fact, spoke clmost entirely on this subject, while Senator O’Gorman bitterly arraigned resident Taft’s tariff policy, declared that the Republican party was split in two and that the people were tired of broken Republican promises. National Leaders There. The dinner was significant for the pumber of national leaders present, for the. enthusiasm that prevailed and for the fact that the presidential boom of ne one candidate was favored. The guests all met in the Astor gal- lery and while there was hand-clapping shen Bryan or Wilson, or Gaynor en- tered the room, no one of these or of the other aspirants for the Democratic numination .was accorded anything in the nature of an ovation. The recep- tor was of a most informal character end the guests ail entered the banquet hal! together. Charlies F. Murphy, leader of Tam- many Tall, “was to have been among thote present, but was kept at home by ifiyiess which his friends said was of a very slight nature. “Gov. Wilson was likened unto Jeffe.- soh in the toastmaster's introduction. “He is one of the leading. scholars of the day, and like Jefferson, also, his Democracy is unquestioned, and his capacity as a public officer is conced- ed.” Gov. Wilson was ‘received .with ap- plause and cheers. Wilson's Speech. Woodrow Wilson was speaker. He said in part: “To determine what Jefferson would lave done, therefore, requires only thar we should ourselves clearly see the facts of our time as they are, whether in the iid of government or in the field of our economic life and that we should see how Jefferson's principle of the fille and authority of the people stanes: felated to those facts. We are con- tly quoting Jefferson's fundamental thought; it was that no policy could fast whose foundation is narrow, based @pon the privileges and authority of a few. but that its foundations must be as broad as the interests of all the men and families and neighborhoods. that live under it. Monopoly, private con- pi, the authority of privilege, the con- jled mastery of a few men cunning Such to rule without showing their Wer—he would have at once pro- bunced the rank weeds which were to choke out all wholesome life ieee fair garden of affairs. If we can the chief these things in our time; if we @an see them and describe them and h them as they are, then we know a Jefferson would have done. He would have moved against them, some- times directly, sometimes indirectly, imes openly, sometimes subtly; bur her he merely mined about them, struck directly at them, he would set systematic war against them Pthe front of all his purpose. "As regards th® real influences that Getrol our governmot, he would have | in

HORTLY. after 1 o’elock S ing for more than an hour, William Jennings Bryan said at ‘‘T am not a candidate for the nomination as President on the are many more men in the Demo- cratic party who can poll more chance to fight for a progressive. That’s all 1 want.’’

and not the people who maintain the lobby; that the argument of the lobby is oftentimes louder and more. potent than the argument of the hustings and the floor of tne representative body. He would have found, moreover, that until ve'vy recent years opinion had had very difficult access, if any at all, in most seasons, of the private conferences in which candidates for office were chosen. candidates for both administrative and legislative office and that in the private conferences where it was determined who should be nominated, and, there- fore. of course, who should be elected, the same influences had themselves which ruled in the legisla- tive lobby. That money, that kept the whole gether, flowed in, not from the general body of the people, but from those who wished to determine in their own private interest what governors and legislators should and should not do. “It is plain, in such circumstances, what he would have insisted, as we are insisting now, that if there and purpose of the people could break into these private places and establish their rules again, if the jungle proved too thick for the common thougnt to ex- plore, if-the coverts where the real power lurked were too difficult to fina. the forces of genuine democracy must move around them instead of through them, must surround and beleaguer them, must establish a force outside of them by which they can be dominate or cverawed. It is with the discussion of just such affairs that the public mind is now preoccupied and en- Ohne end of the land ‘to the other. Tariff Revision. “As regards the economic policy of the country it is perfectly plain that Mr. Jefferson would have insisted upon a tariff. fitted to actual conditions, by which he would have meant not the in- terests of the few men who find access io the Learings of th: Ways enl Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate, but the interests of the business men and manu- professional men of every class. He would have insisted that the schedules should be turned wrong side out and every item of their contents subjected to the general scrutiny of al concerned. It is plain, alsn, that he weuld have insisted upon a currency system elastic indeed and sulted to the varying circumstances of the imorev market in a great industrial and trad- ing nation, but absolutely forttfte? ang secured against « central con:rol, the influence of coteries and leugues of banks to which .t is now in constant danger of being subjected. Ile wou'd have known that the currency question is not only an economic question, but a political question, and that, above al} things else, control must be in hands of those who represent the gen- eral interest and not in the hands of those who represent the things we are seeking to guard against. “In the general field of business his thought would, of course,’ have gone about to establish freedom, to throw business opportunity open at every point to new men, to destroy the processes of. monopoly, to exclude the poison of special favors, to see that, whether big or little, business was not by anything but the law Itself, and that that law was made in the interest op plain, unprivileged men everywhere.” -e@--—-~ WILSON GETS 19 FROM WISCONSIN MADISON, Wis., April 13.—With of- ficial returns from all but one smal?! county, Oneida, from the recent presi- dential primary and election in Wis- consin for delegates to the national conventions, Senator La Follette is shown to have received 131,920 votes and President Taft 47,291, La Fol- lette’s majority being 84,291. La Fol- lette gained the solid Republican delegation. The total Democratic presidential vote was $1,755, of which Wilson re- celved 45,504, Clark 36,251; Wilson's majority, 9253. Of the 26 delegates to the Balti- more convention Wilson gets 19 and Clark 6. One unpledged delegate, Thomas J. Fleming, was elected in the Fourth District.

In referring to President Taft's posi- tion, the Colonel said that four years ago, the progressives favored Taft and the reactionaries opposed him but that now this position was reversed. He added: “You know Senator Gallinger. Do you suppose he has become a progressive? Do you suppose Mr. Lorimer, Mr. Pen- rose, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Guggenheim have become progressives?

LANYON'S OFFICE Bull Leader Said to Have $80,- 000 Margins to Protect May Delivery Deals. HE BEGAN SELLING AT 60 May Wheat Touches $1.10 Dur- ing Flurry in the Chicago Exchange. ~~ —— ee ee . When corn for May délivery rosé to 83 cents a bushel in the pit of the Mer- chants’ Exchange yesterday and May wheat shot skywards in Chicago to $1.10 a bushel, a climax came for William Lanyon, a St. Louis broker, in his bear operations in the grains in both cities. It Was said on ‘change that Lanyon, the biggest local seller of May corn, had been required tn the last two weeks to put up $80,000 to cover his margins. He is reported to have begun selling May corn short when it was between 60 and 65 cents a bushél. Lanyon's. offices were closed all day yesterday, but answeriiig deinand that his margins be increased, it was said that Lanyon sent out checks in the aft- érnoon. A dispatch from Chicago states that a, St. Louis trader, whose name was not given, failed to respond yesterday in the Chicago Board of Trade to heavy ca'ls for margins, and to have permit- ted his deals to be wound up under the hammer, as provided by the rules made to meet such an emergency. Reporters could not find Lanyon at his office in the Pierce Bullding, and a man who answered ‘the telephone last night at his home, 4440 Lindell boulevard, said that the operator was not there. A factor in the situation was a new ‘Trule made by the Merchants’ Exchange two weeks ago, which raised the daily margin on grain trades from 1 cent to 2 cents for each 1-cent fluctuation of the market. This meant that a trader who had sold 1,000,000 bushels of grain must put up $29,000 for margins every time the market advanced 1 cent a bushel. The advance on corn in the local market in the last two weeks was 4 cents. The leader in the bull market in corn was T. E. Price, who said yesterday that he had made large profits for him- sclf ard his customers. It is known that at one time Price held 2,000,000 bushels, much of which he bought below 70 cents. —___.—.@—__—_—« MAY WHEAT GOES TO $1.10 A BUSHEL Chicago Exchange Has Exciting Day and One Firm Goes ts Wall. CHICAGO, April 13.—Ten bushel advance the price of wheat tcld

cents a in crop scare in 1907. At sold at $1.10 today of the wWerst the United States high point, May delivery and July delivery at $1.06%%. More than 4 cents of the big rise took place in about as many minutes of bed- iam today on ’Chenge. Again and again the price receded only. to jump again hear to the high figures which had startied the nerves of even the most hardéned plungers in the pits. The strain continued with but slight cessation till the clanging gongs an- nounced the close of the business day cleared the wrought-up specula- tors from the floor. One firm, whose liabilities, however, Said not to be important, went to the wall. Excitement. which reached a climax today, has been growing since Monday. and previous to this morning had put up the market 6 cents of the 10 cents that has now been added to the gelt- ing price in Chicago. The basis of tr all has been a continuous flood of or- ders to purchase wheat and these in turn were the result of advices which made it appear that cahimity had over- taken perhaps a third or more of the entire crop of soft winter seed planted last Autumn, One of the best-known experts in the business telegraphed today from Spring- field, lll., that a further period of grow- ing weather with helpfufl rains woulda bring considerable acreage that at pres- ent seems worthless to a good harvest. His prediction apparently counted for but little when placed along side the almost unanimous judgment of farmerr and millers who declare that in the majority ot similar cases tne return would not amount to the seed put into the ground to take chances with snow and ice and that this winter had broken the record for damage to fields, TEAMS COMPETE IN NEW CAPTAIN BALL Four Groups of Schools Organ- ized in the First of the Series.

NEW YORK, April 13.—With Ruth Fieischman, a baby who had been miss- ing since Thursday, in her arms, the mad girl, Anna Boyarsky, who stole the child from its carriage at Mount Sinai Hospital on Thursday, was found wandering shortly after 6 o'clock to- night in Lexington avenue, near Thirty- second street. Two hours later the hysterical moth- er of the child had her baby clasped to her own breast, while the father, Abraham Fleischman, danced abovrt them in his joy at the recovery of his little daughter. Jaby Ruth had come to no harm, de- spite the fact that, according to the mad girl’s own story to the police, she and her little charge had spent all last night in the streets, with no roof at any time to shelter them. The girl protested she had taken the most tender care of the infant since she had plucked it from the little go-cart. She said she had gone without anything to eat herself and fed the baby on food purchased with the money she had been able to beg in the streets. The appearance of the child when found bore out the girl's a&sertions. She even had taken off her shabby black coat to wrap around the little white cloak of the baby to protect it from the rain. Baby Ruth was smiling, rosy-faced and chortling when reunited with her parents, but it must be said the youngster seemed equally delighted when in the arms of the poor little kid- nape. The girl was drenched to the skin. Her menger garments were clinging to her limbs, limp strands of her black hair had fallen about her face, which Was Wan and pinched.

Courtney Jones, rector of the Emman- vel Episcopal Church, at Webster Groves. He is a pupil in the eighth grade of the Webster School. The Jefferson City contest is to de- termine the best juvenile speller in the State and one representative from each of the 114 counties in the State will compete. Girl Gets Second Prize, Kama Catlin, 14 yéars old, a pupil of the Old Orchard School, also in the Webster district, won the second prize of $, missing only 29 words out of ihe 300. Margaret Slevin of Fenton, Mo., came third, winning $2.50 and missing 33 words. Melvin White of Maplewood and Virginia Farr of Clayton tied for fourth place, with 39 words missed eacn. The 25 spellers following the first three received prizes of $1 each. The epelling contest, which was held under the direction of County School Superintendent W. T. Bender, in no way resembled the old-fashioned ‘“‘spe!!. in’ hee.”” Supt. Bender devised a plan he thought would better test the real spelling capabilities of the pupils. Instead of lining them up and allow- ing them to “spell each other down,” he had 2% teachers on duty and divided the contestants into as many Then each received 150 words to spell orally and 150 to write correctly.

Mr. Hearst is supporting the Speaker in [San Francisco, New York and Chi- cago, and other points where he has papers, but in Atlanta, his paper, The Georgian, favors the nomination of Representative Oscar Underwood. “Teritorially, Alabama has been al- loted to Chairman Underwood by the allies, and as Mr. Clark is not a can- didate in that State, Mr. Hearst's Altanta paper has helped the cause of Mr. Underwood, who is making

The rates were raised by Burton from $35 a year to $108. Burton has clashed with a sprinkling contractor, whose identity he would not reveal, in South S8t. Louis, who has a contract to sprinkle a portion of the city streets. Burton recently sent this firm a bill for $2140 for back water rates, but the bill was ignored. Burton has requested City Counsellor Walther to ‘advise him whether he can hold the amount of the bill out of the man’s the enlargements made and ~ the in-] creased .use’ of water.

Young's Opinion. “J think Healy eot off mighty lucky,”’ said Chief Young. “I don't see why he should be’ paroled. He pleaded guilty and threw himself on the mercy of the Court. His lawyer consulted with the Circuit Attorney as to the degree of punibliment he should receive before he pleaded guilty. “I do not accept the contention that he should receive immunity because he confessed the shortage and incriminated others. In the first place, mone of those Ne accused were convicted. In the sec- md tplace Ye, did not “Make a clean rreast. of all. He confe ssed to a deficit ft- $12,000, but he “never did tell what became of half of this sum. | “Il dé not know what the sentiment of the department upon the subject is, and speak only for myself. If it were left to me “Healy would serve out his term.” Capt. Joseph Schoppe of the Cerr Street District, who fs treasurer of the organization, declared that he agreed with Chief Young. He Said he would bring the matter to the attention of the Executive Committee of .the Re- Hef Association at its next meeting on the first Monday in May, and seek to ascertain the general sentiment of the patrolmen in the various dis- tricts. Capt. Albert Schwartz of the Central District, who was president of the asso- ciation last year, expressed the opinion that the Relief Association, as a corpo- ration distinct from the police depart- ment, should be consulted before any action is taken. Both he and Capt. Schoppe said that no petition against ‘the parole could be organized among the policemen because of a rule against Mich procedure in the police manual. tee Others Give Opinion, “Patrolman Michael Flavin, secretary of fhe association, thought Healy should ° be paroled. He said that the stigma of being a convict which was placed on Healy when he entered the penitentiary would not be deepened by length of Bervice, and that Mrs. Healy should be considered. ~ Many policemen, who felt it necessary sta withhold their names, said that ly’s embezzlements are not forgotten ng the rank and file of the police t, and that his thefts are Far as particularly guilty because

At Caruthersville, the Mayor said, the citizens are caring for 18 miles of the 28-mile levee, which extends from Point Pleasant. The levee is holding well and those in charge feel sure it will not break. If it breaks a district of from .250 to 300 square miles will be inundated. Cairo Citizens Grateful. The Mayor found the citizens of Cairo grateful for the aid rendered by the Naval Reserves, The yawls and gasoline launches of the reserves were kept busy distributing rations, carrying passengers from point to point, and other service, The situation down the river ap- peared to be more hopeful to the Mayor, but he expressed a hope that liberal contributions would be sent on the next trip of the Erastus Wells. When the boat starts tomor- row he will communicate with Col. Oliver by telephone and the destina- tion of the boat will be governed by his request...

HOME FOR ORPHANS, GIFT OF BACHELOR LONDON, April 13. —One of the larg- est bequests to charity ever made is the gift of $5,000,000 by the late Lord Wandsworth to found an orphan asy- lum. He was a bachelor and was best known as Baron Stern, the title he held before elevation to the peerage. The title died with him, He also bequeathed $50,000 for medical research; $25,000 to the Home for the Aged Jewish Poor, of which he was president, and various other charitable institutions, The directions of Lord. Wandsworth in regard to the orphans are that thera shall be no restrictions on account of religion and each child shall be educa- ted in the faith of its parents.

BACK YARD CHICKENS SUBJECT OF LECTURE Will Be Part of General Course ‘in “City Farming”’ Inaugurated by Y. M. C. A. ‘tow to raise chickens in your back yard” is a new study which has been inaugurated by Educational Director Irwin Raut at the Central Y. M. Cc. A... Grand and Franklin avenues. The course in chicken-raising in the city is part of a general course of “‘city farm- ing’? which has been undertaken by the Central Y. M. C. A., and for which there has already been énrolled a num- ber of pupils, most of whom are men of family with enough back yard at their disposition to undertake a few turnips. a patch of beans and enough pea vines for a couple of “‘messes.”’ T. BE. Quisenberry, director of the Mis- souri State Experiment Station, will de- liver a series of lectures on poultry- raising to the class, the first of which will be Friday evening, April 19, 19192. Mr. Quisenberry’s direction of the na- tional egg-laying contest now being held at the experiment station at Mountain Grove. is showing some _ remarkable things in regard to chicken-raising in general and some results very different from notions generally held Mr. Qui- senberry will touch on them tn his talks

include vegetable gardening, flower gardening, dairying, horticulture and a lecture by an entomologist on insect pests. There will also be clubs for the study of birds, insects, trees, flowers, foods and faod values, and there will be a number of gardens established at dif- ferent points in the city in which boys will be given practical instruction in raising all the ordinary vegetables. The first garden will be conducted at Wash- ington and Taylor avenues on a lot loaned to the Central Y. M. C. A. by Mrs. A. V. L. Brokaw. Great interest is being manifested in the lectures, ad- mission tickets to which can be secured from Mr. Raut at the Central Y. M. (*. A. JOPLIN GIRL KILLS SELF

He naturally thinks the $225 machine ought to be better than ss IT’S DIFFICULT for the average person to believe that we ours at $175 unless the maker or the dealer makes a bigger profit © — on the other. a AND IF THAT WERE SO, he reasons, then competition with the famous Flanders “4” would compel them to reduce prices. ——- THAT IS PARTLY TRUE—they have all been compelled to reduce 2. prices just as much as they could. Get that—as much as they — Bee: “BUT,” YOU ASK, “cannot others make just as good a motorcycle | as Flanders at the same cost?” | po hata > ee THEY CANNOT—and there is the answer to your question—it costs ie. them more than it costs us to make a machine of the same design, a same power and better quality of materials and workmanship. co GET THAT ALSO—IT’S IMPORTANT: Just imagine that we were 7 to adopt the design of some other motorcycle listing at $225 and | make that identical machine. We could sell it for less than it a cost the other fellow to turn it out. We could sell it for $175 and eo make, not a large profit, but large enough to satisfy us. mee AND THEN HE CAN’T make it as well as we do—because he hasn't ae the plant; he hasn’t the capital; he hasn’t the engineering force; : ie | he hasn’t the manufacturing experience or ability—and he hasn’t — ( the business to let him operate on as large a scale as we do. “i. : READ THAT AGAIN—it is worth your while, for, if you are going oY ¥ to buy a motorcycle you want the best. And we are g to 2 a prove to you that the Flanders “4” is the best at any price. Read | \e that last paragraph over again—then follow us here: ts aa THE FLANDERS COMPANY has a capital of two millions and 4 . quarter. It’s plants occupy more than $0 acres of ground, e | buy in large quantities—and we pay cash. We get the lowest | m prices on materials.

It is the real answer to the question. a DEALERS ARGUE, “but how can the Flanders “4” at $175 be — da good as our $225 machine?” You can answer that easily: cause Flanders makes more of them and-he nmtakes every p he is the only manufacturer who does. ¢ * oe ie. PERHAPS YOU'VE FIGURED that if the Flanders “4” ts as § or better than others they. ask you Higher prices; for them® other makers and dealers must get a big “rake-off” on n machine. . a THAT IS PARTLY TRUE—the maker does get a larger ard. the dealer a larger commission—but it is not net profit. q 2 have to spend a large part of it to advertise and sell you the \ "2 machine. . IT COSTS LIKE SIXTY to keep up a racing team. E record 4 you see advertised cost the maker a tidy sum. For of course - those records are made on special machines—and that is ex- _ pensive. , THEN TOO IT COSTS a lot of money to stuff a medium quality ~ motorcycle down buyers’ throats, at high prices. | LOOK AT THE FLANDERS “4”—stand it right beside any ‘ <4 “four” on the market and then let the other dealer tell you where — es the value is in his machine—by comparison, He can’t. a IT COSTS US LESS to make the same article and it costs us less . to sell it—because the customer can see the value with his own eyes and the price he knows is right. ecinitha — OUR LATEST MODEL has all the up-to-date features. mr of course—free engine clutch, etc. . 3 WHEN IT BECAME KNOWN that we were going to add these Se features to the Flanders “4” all the other makers were joyful for Seas they thought of course we would have to raise the price and that ee would make it easier for them. , ed sie WE FOOLED THEM—we added the frills but did not increase the ices.

Sallee and Bliss Is Battery for Opening Cub Game; Roger Sick ARRY SALLEE, the Higgins- I port Huckleberry, is sched- uled to cross-fire the Cubs in their first of a three-game series with the Cardinals at Robison Vield this afternoon. Jack Bliss will do the receiving, as Manager Bresnahan still is unfit for duty. Bresnahan last night could not speak above a whisper, because of a severe attack of tonsilitis. In- cidentally, Roger’s throat ailment kept him off the coaching line in yesterday’s game with the Pirates. Mordecai Brown, the three-digit- ed demon, probably will be Chance’s nominee. Richie, Cole, Charley Smith and McIntire were used in the Cincinnati series, so it’s up to Chance to pick Brown for here. The Cubs lost Reds. the two to the opener

which has won them many admirers. With defeat staring them in the face, the home boys tried all the harder and eventually won by dint of their perseverence. Steele registered a failure, but was lucky to escape without having a defeat charged to him. Jake Geyer, who suc- ceeded Big Bill in the eighth, gets credit for the victory and only rightly so.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 13.—Harry » Trendall of St. Louis, had more than a shade over Phil Brock of Cleve- land, in one of the fastest six-round bouts ever staged in this city, to- night. The fighting was rough at stages and in three different rounds both boys fell out of the ring into the laps of the spectators. In the last round Trendall knocked Brock all over the ring and at th® end had Brock groggy and hanging on. Trendall received a hard left over the right eye and three stitches were required to close the cut. The referee had to continually caution Brock for fouling with his elbows. Round 1—Trendall led lightly to the head and received a right upper cut in the clinch. Trendall caught Brock com- ing in with a vicious right and partly closed the Clevelander’s left lamp. They mixed, with honors even. Round 2—They rushed to a_ clinch. Brock led with left to face and was rushed to ropes, receiving a hard right to the body. Trendall rushed and in the clinch both boys fell out of the ring. They mixed it, with Trendall the ag- gressor. Trendall rushed into a hard left, which opened a gash over his right eye. Round 8—Trendall led a right to the body. Brock hooked with hig left to the head. In a clinch Brock was again warned about using his elbows. Tren- dall shot a left to the jaw and escaped without a return. At the end of the round Trendall was rushing Brock all over the ring. Round 4—Trendall shot ae hard right to the face. Brock led with his left to the face. Both missed vicious swings for the head. Trendall shot his right to the head and received a right to the body in a clinch. Tren- dall used a right uppercut with ef- fect in the clinches. At the end of the round both boys fell out of the ring when Trendall rushed Brock. Round 6—Brock led to the head and received a right to the body in return. Trendall rushed Brock all over the ring, using hard body blows with effect. At the end of the round Brock came back, using a left hook, slowing up Trendall. Round 6—In this round the blows came thick and fast. Trendall rocked Brock’s head continually with hard rights and lefts and at the end of the round had Brock hanging on. —o—-- ——--— 3 Boxing Notes Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion, and Joe Rivers, the Mexican fighter, who has sprung into prominence during the past 15 months as a result of his many victo- ries in the California. ring, were matched last week to engage in a 20-round bout at Vernon, Cal., on the afternoon of July 4 for the lightweight championship of the world. According to the articles signed by the men, they will battle at 133 pounds, weigh in at the ringside, and neither is to engage in @ public boxing contest before that time.

An important match between middleweights has just been arranged. Bob Moha of Mil- waukee, who has made good in the three fights which he has so far fought in New York, and George Chip, the rugged Pittsburg slugger, have been signed up to meet for 15 rounds at @ show to be brought off at Thornton, R. I., on the night of April 27. A difference in the weighing In time is the obstacle that prevents the proposed match between Jack Goodman of New York and Ray Brongon of Indianapolis from being arranged. Goodman's manager wants the weight to be 142 pounds at the ringside, while Bronson is holding off for 3 p. m, If they should come to terms the bout will be staged in Gotham. George Engel. who has just got back from San Francisco, with his great middleweight fighter, Frank Kiaus of Pittsburg. is in New York.

Rucker opened the game, in which 14 doubles into the crowd were made, 10 of them by New York. On that day they pounded “Nap” to. the; bench with hits that would have been joke hits, but for the crowd. The Giants made five hits off the Brooklyn southpaw, and took a drubbing into the bargain.

The heat of midsummer which greeted the opening games here brought on Chance’s old trouble with his head. It was partic- ularly serious yesterday. Last night the manager suffered with a terrific headache, and decided to take the warning before it was too late. The trouble is caused, phy- sicians say, by the repeated blows Chance has received on the head from pitched balls. This explains the practice Zimmerman has on first base lately.

From the time I took up- boxing I ajways believed I could be a champion, but I had a hard time convincing anyone else that this was so, and it was not until I went to. the Pacific Coast in 1904 that I got a chance to show what I could do. I managed to get a match with Mar- tin Canole, who was then a fighter of prominence, and I knocked him out in 18 rounds.

SS —_— -]{CLUB TO LOOK FOR Mi na ll TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS

The Street Traffic Committee of the Automobile Club of St. Louis met last Tuesday, and decided that each member should keep a record of all street traffic violations for one week, making a written report at the next meeting of the committee, Tuesday, April 16, at 1:15 o'clock in the pri- vate dining room of the Noonday Club. The reports are to include traffic violations of every character, stating the time, place and nature of the violations. The members are especi- ally requested to report the conduct of the motorcycle men and policemen all over the city. These reports are not for the purpose of prosecuting the violators of the traffic laws, but to form @ basis for perfecting traffic regulations for the benefit of all users of the streets. The co-operation of the members is asked and each member is urgent- ly requested to aid the committee in planning for perfecting the traffic system throughout the city. In case a member cannot be present at the meeting it is urged that the reports . OY, be mailed to Robert H. Keiser, 620 , — Fis

The reports are to include traffic violations of every character, stating the time, place and nature of the violations. The members are especi- ally requested to report the conduct of the motorcycle men and policemen all over the city. These reports are not for the purpose of prosecuting the violators of the traffic laws, but to form a basis for perfecting traffic regulations for the benefit of all users of the streets. The co-operation of the members is asked and each member is urgent- ly requested to aid the committee in planning for perfecting the _ traffic system throughout the city. In case a member cannot be present at the meeting it is urged that the reports be mailed to Robert H. Keiser, 620 Security building, not latter than Monday evening, so that the report may be used at the meeting. GLIDDEN TOURISTS MAY COME VIA ST. LOUIS The Automobile Club of St. Louis has been asked by Frank W. Joyce. chairman of the Towring Committee or the American Automobile Asso- ciation, “How badly does St. Louis want the Glidden Tour for 1912?” The answer is one of considerable importance to the motoring interests and automobile owners of this city. The Glidden Tour has for a number of years been the automobile classic, a long tour of approximately 1500 miles for the trophy offered by Chas. J. Glidden, which has never been twice won, in eight years, by cars of the same make. Chairman Joyce indicates a desire to have the tour come via St. Louis, and .suggests several routes by which this can be done. He also asks for information concerning the roads between St. Louis and Memphis. One proposed route is from Keo- kuk, Io., via St. Louis and Memphis te New Orleans. Another route in- cludes Indianapolis, St. Louis and Memphis. This route would be about 1600 miles. It has been suggested that the tour be known as the “Mississippi Valley Tour,” starting from Minneapolis and following practically the Mississippi River from the head of navigation to New Orleans.

SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 14, 1912. 3 STUDENTS HURT BY FALL ON TOUR UF A DISTILLERY Ten Seriously Injured at Peoria When Platform Breaks With 35 Boys and Girls. PEORIA, ILL., -April 13.—Thirty-one were injured, ten of them seriously, in an. accident at the Woolner Distillery this afternoon, when a party of Brad- iey Polytechnic Institute students, on a tour of inspection of the plant, were precipitated 30 feet to a concrete floor, as a platform in the fermenting room broke under the weight of the crowgq of young boys and girls. That none was killed is considered re- markable, When the platform surround- ing one of the 2%-foot vats broke, 35 students were thrown to the floor. Great beams supporting the upper floor fell upon them. The pipes of the sprinkling system broke ana In a mo- ment the big room was flooded with water, Prompt rescue work saved many of the students from drowning. The seriously injured: Miss Lucille Beach, Peoria, left ankle ¢rushed; Louis Papmeier, Peoria, leg broken in two places; George Coriell, Green Valley. Ill., leg broken; Miss Jessie Cardiff, Galva, Ill., spine badly injured; Thomas W. Johnson, Downs, IIl., left leg broken near hip; Fred Davis, St. Cloud, Minn., knee badly injured; Miss Edna Brown, Martinsville, Ind., left leg broken above knee; Miss Hazel Bullock, Eureka, left leg broken; Miss Lillian Finley, Nobles- ville, Ind., right leg broken; Miss Helen Worth, Quincy, Ill, spine injured.

SO om PARIS, April 13..—A new dance is the rage in Paris. It is called the Sheriock- inette. As the name implies, it is an attempt to portray in the rhythm of slow waltz the movements of Sherlock Holmes i his search of the criminal. This dance was invented by the International Acad- emy of Dance Professors, who say the bunny hug and turkey trot have be- come obsolete. In the ‘“‘Sherlockinette’”’ they have en- deavored to substitute a modification of the dance des Apache with some of the violence left out. American girls who can dance the tur- key trot, bunny hug and other American importations have been in great demand in Paris ballrooms this winter. When- ever several couples would appear who knew these dances the other dancers would surrender the floor to them, ap- plauding until the dancers were ex- hausted. One girl who is very popular in the American colony has fallen a victim to these dances, having performed them with so much ardor that she became ill. A specialist she consulted told her she had a strained heart and would be un- able to dance again this season, and that she had so seriouely injured her- self she may never be able to appear again on a ballroom floor. She has been forbidden all exercise except short walks until her heart regains its strength. As this young lady is well known in Paris. her unfortunate case has caused considerable comment, with the result that these American dances have passed out of favor in Parisian society.

st. LOUIS: POST.DISPATOH.

BRIDGE QUESTION WILL BE TAKEN 10 FLOOR OF COUNCIL Fletcher Will Offer Northeast Approach Bill in Effort to Force Action. Councilman Fletcher told a Post-Dis- patch reporter yesterday that he will submit an ordinance establishing the northeast approach to the free bridge on the East Side at the opening. Tuea- day of the Municipal Assembly. He expects to force action on the bridge approach location without wait- ing for a report of the Joint Free Bridge Committee but putting the northeast approach officially up for dis- cussion on the floor of the Assembly. If other members favor different ap- proaches, they will have to submit or- dinances providing for their choice, and this will bring the matter to a final decision, in the opinion of Fletcher. Speaker Sommerich of the House, who was chosen for re-election by a caucus of the Republican members, declared yesterday that he will ‘reappoint the House members of the joint committee which went out of existence last week with the adjournment of the Assembly. The Council members of the committee will be reappointed by virtue of a res- olution passed by the Council. Sommer- ich will insist on an early report from the committee.

It is unquestionably, in my judgment, an unsafe grade of steel in view of the severe condi- tions of service.” “Rails have been growing heavier,’ said an- other manufacturer, ‘‘but they have not kept up "with the heavier equipment, the increased carry- ing capacity and mounting traffic density of} the railroads. The railroads have been deman heavier rails to keep down replacement exp In order to meet their demands, the manufa ers have been using a higher percentage bon, which makes the rails more susceptible to breakage.” Under these attacks the railroad men, in their turn, have not been silent. “All of the roads have found for the last two or three years that the quality of raus has been deteriorating,” de- clares Vice-Prevident iNichols of the Great North-' arn. The Railway Age Gazette asserts that “the steep Corporation, by the sworn admission of its president,, has not been, and is not now, perform- ing its public ducy of making safe rails.” James J. Hill, railroad nestor, maintains that upp rails imported from Germany and in daily a fuse on the Great Northern for 22 years are today | im better condition than so-called Steel Trust rails laid only a year ago. The drst of a series of conferences between rail- road and stee] men on the subject of the defective ‘rail was held on Feb. 15 at the Railroad Club in New York, Judge Gary of the Steel Corporation 1 .the conferves together. The railroads rep- | resented were the New York Central, Pennsyl- rani Eeemmere & Obio, Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Union Pacific, Rock Island, Louiggaaag & Nashville, and Southern. The steel corpora tions sending delegates were the Bethlehem Stegs Pennsylvania Steel, Lackawanna Steel, land Steel, and Colorado Fuel and Iron panies. After the conference Judge Gary issued a state- ment in which he said it had been the “unani- mous sentiment that everything practicable should be done to obtain a rail that is entirely safe.” In the midst of these recriminations and con- ferences between rail makers and rail users, ac- cidents due to defective rails continue to occur in increasing numbers and to inflict death upon passengers and trainmen. In 1911 there were 240 accidents caused by broken rails, as against ohly 78 in 1902. The Interstate Commerce Com- mission comes forward in the emergency with a recommendation that the evil be met with action of governmental power. In its latest. report the commission, after summing up alarming statis- tics of catastrophes caused by broken rails, says: “We deem it proper to call this situation to the attention of Congress, although we do not recommend that this commission be authorized or directed to conduct an investigation in the premises. Any such recommendation, whether conducted by carriers, steel manufacturers or others, must of necessity be made on purely scientific lines, and if undertaken by the Govern- ment, there are doubtless bureaus in other de- partments that are equipped to do such work with competent men in the Government service. “Exhaustive investigation was made of a wreck on the Lehigh Valley railroad on August 25, 1911, in which 62 persons were injured and 29 persons lost their lives. There was no room for doubt that this wreck was caused by a broken rail. The commission requested the aid of the Department of Commerce and Labor by its Bureau of Stand. ards in examination of pieces of this rail. “Inspection and careful analysis disclosed that this rail contained a defect in manufacture and several other defects in the form of transverse fissures. This rail was manufactured in Decem- ber, 1909, and was laid in the track in October, 1910. It had therefore been in use less than one year when the accident occurred.” Chief Inspector Belknap of the commission, re- f €, ¥ porting on this wreck, came to this conclusion: “In the earlier days of steel rails softer and more ductile steel was used, and the wheel pressure was lower than it is now. With in creased wheel pressure harder steel was em ployed. “There must be a limit in the combination o hard steel rails and high wheel pressure beyonc which it is unsafe to go. Recent eviderice indl- cates an approach to that limit in current rail road practice, if it has not already been passed,’ A recent accident due to a broken rail was the wreck of the New York Central’s Twentieth Cen- tury Limited, its 20-hour train between New York and Chicago, five miles from Poughkeepsie, on March 12. Five Pullman coaches were flung into the Hudson River, but no lives were lost because 20 inches of ice prevented the cars from sinking in the water and because the coaches were of steel construction. However, 39 passen- gers were injured. The New York Central issued the following statement: “The wreck of the first section of the Twen- tieth Century Limite was caused by a broken rail. It is impossible at this time to state whether the rail was defective or whether it was broken from some other cause, like, say, the action of the weather during the winter. “The rail was made in 1910, was 110 pounds to the yard, and was supposed to be perfect when it was laid. The company’s experts will carefully investigate the wreck in all its detai.s, of eourse, and the rail itself will be analyzed to find out, if possible, the cause for its breaking.” The rail itself, which was flung out 200 feet s —* r —, — A —— — ps \ Ay ‘ on the Hudson River ice, was sent to the Inter- state Commerce Commission for inspeetion and analysis. Some recent wrecks attributed to broken rails have been reported as follows: Rock Island, March 22, 1910, near Green Moun- tain, Io.; 47 killed, 38 injured. Lehigh Valley, Aug. 25, 1911, near Manchés- ter, N. Y.; 29 killed, 62 injured. Wabash, Chester & Western, Sept. 7, 1911, near Pinckneyville, Ill.; 14 injured. Great Northern, Dec. 30, 1911, near Finley, S. D.; 6 killed, 13 injured. Big Four, Jan. 14, 1912, near Carey, O.; 31 in- jured. Missouri Pacific, near Kirkwood, Mo.; 1 killed, 2 injured. Vandalia-Pennsylvania, Feb. 2, 1912, near St. Jacobs, Ill.; engine overturned, engineer injured. Great Northern, Feb. 14, 1912, near Doyon, N. D.; 7 killed, 20 injured. Wabash, March 8, 1912, near Lebanon, Ind.; 5 killed, 71 injured. New York Central, March 12, 1912, near Pough- keepsie, N. Y.; 39 injured. Chicago & Great Western, March-14, 1912, near Dunkerton, Io.; 25 injured. . The broken rail, it will be seen, is a note- worthy contributor to the railroad accidents in which, according to the estimates of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, 10,396 persons were killed and 150,159, injured in the United States during the year from June 30, 1910, to June 30, 1911. : b New PROBLEM THAT THE VTERSTATE (OMMERCE COMMISSION HAS UBMITTED To CONGRES or SISO ad Pn Oar oe ei “ “ ae 7 423% a ‘2 WRECK.

It was white. It was spotless. It Was sanitary. The yellow fever disappeared. Then the typhoid ab- dicated. Finally even the malaria deserted Pan- ama City. They were vanquished. They had been banished forever. Standing on the curb in Panama City, this is ‘what the tourist sees of the work. A bell comes tinkling down the street, and a cart bearing an oll barrel stops at a door. | “Do you want any oil?” the driver aske. “Yes,” says the housewife, producing her can. The driver draws het a can of oil. It is free. Wherever there is water ot even very damp ground the citizen of Panama pours some of the oil. Now and then the inspector drops in. He looks ovér the place. Probably he says: “You are not keeping your yard clean” or ‘Why aren’t you putting ofl in that drain?” That is the alternative in Panama City. ie what makes it the new Spotless Town. So much for the city. Now for the country around. Looking from the car window, the trav- eler occasionally sees the mosquito hunter. This is a man in khaki who bears on his back a cylin- drical tank. In front of him he carries a sprayer. The tank contains the principal weapoh with which Col. Gorgas exterminates mosquitoes, This is a larvicide composed of carbolic acid, resin and Caustic soda. While crude oil is exclusively used im the city, the larvicide does the bulk of the work without. There is a reason for this. The oi! is heavy. It unites with the vegetable matter in the ditches and swamps, and they form together a weight which sinks, leaving the mosquitoes free to bree. on the surface. The larvicide solves that prob- lem. It does not unite with anything in the water, and remains on the surface. All mos- quitoes are born under water. Where the larvi- cide lies it is impossible for the young mos- quitoes to reach the surface. [hey are born, they take one breath of the waiting poison, and their course is run. The larvicide is one of the discoveries. It suiis the purpose where oil is a failure. I[t covers more territory. It is easier distributed. Col. Gorgas says it is costing him 14 cents @ gallon on the isthmus, and could be mace cheaper than thot here in the States, where the ingredients would not be so expeiisive. In little streams the water is treated with a drip. Ol is used for this pur- pose. A barrel of it is placed at the head of the stream, and a drip properly timed has been found sufficient to keep the mosquitoes out of the stream. ‘This applies only to very small streams, of which there are many in Panama. That coun- try is a succession of swamps and hills. It ta a paradise for mosquitoes. That

Spraying at Panama. “If we can get rid of them here,” says Col. Gorgas, ‘what could they do in the States, where the infested area is small and the breeding places are few?” There is one thing they have found out about mosquitoes in Panama that virtually no one wil’ believe. This is in relation to the distance they travel, At the present time this distance is ap: proximated at 200 yards over open ground. By open ground is meant that which does not afford opportunities for the mosquitoes to fly from bush to bush. Except they are wind-driven, 200 yards is as far as they will fly across opei ground, Wind-driven mosquitoes are not much of a menace. *While they occasionally disturb the peace of a camp, there is no untreated wate about in which they can breed, and the sing) generation brought in by the wind soon suc- cumbs. In establishing a work camp out on the canal the brush is first cleared away within a 200-vard radius. Then all the water within that radius is sprayed with the larvicide. If the ground is swampy, open drains are cut through it, the grass is cut short and oil is placed on the very damp places where the mosquit6es may find sufficient moisture for breeding. Ca NEIO p ©. TER CLEANING 7 HIN Mosquitoes in the jungle outside of the 200- yard radius are left pretty much to their own devices. In the deep jungle there are no winds to blow them into camp, and except for the annoyance along the line of work in the day- time, which sometimes fequires remedial meas- ures, they are not molested. It must be recalled that the Canal Zone is 40 ? _ ‘ oe | a ee og LF * 7 cae Sa Ae SRN wht > wat ¢ tA ¥ on y “ i ey eae cant de ey ee - SS “> , salah “ rut ~ 2» ja ia ak ORS , * . a ae ote >”?

CCORDING to the “Russian Year Book,” A the population of Russia on Jan. 1, 1910, amounted to 160,748.400, and together with the Finnish provinces the total population amount- ed to 163,778,800 people. In 131-2-years, from the autumn of 1897 to January, 1911, in spite of war, cholera and famine, the Russian population has by souls—an annual growth of 2,732,000. In point of numbers Russia is first of all] the white race. The vast population is not entirely of Russian race; the empire counts 10 per cent of Tartars, 6 per cent of Poles and a considerable number of Lithuanians, Letts, Fins and Jews. In territorial extent Russia is the largest country in the world. It is 44 times as big as France. Three-quarters of the population are, it is said, engaged in agriculture, 10 per cent in various in- dustries, 4.6 per cent in private service, 3.8 per in trace: All other occupations do not en- gage more than 7.5 per cent. Although in Russia agriculture is generally the predominating occupation, the largest proportion of people eniployed in this pursuit fs found in Cen- tral Asia, about 83 per cent; the second place is ta’en by Siberia, over 80 per cent; followed. by the Caucasus, about 79 per cent, and Poland, with only 56.6 per cent. On the other hand, in- dustrial pursuits, mining industries, etc., are more increased cent developed in Poland, which engage 15.4 per cent of the population employed; then comes European Russia, about 10 per cent., the last places being taken by the Caucasus and Central Asia. | Popular.

The philoso- tt; . jher’s doubts as to the Ne anctity of wedlock have 2 een popularized by a flock of authors, in such works as Flaubert’s “madame Bovary,” 4H. G.

Proof is at hand in two recent tragedies in Eastern society, con- fspicuous because of the wealth and prominence of the actors, and so peculiarly shocking as t afford an impressive practical warning to rebel: }against the accepted proprieties, whether the: be regarded as just or not. These were the self- inflicted death of Philip S. Hichborn Jr. in Wash- ington and the double suitide in New York of Frecerick Noble and his bride of two weeks, for- meriy Mrs. Walter Lispenard Suydam Jr. In each case forbidden love caused the catas- trophe. In both instances the test of social rebellion Was as fair and favorable as possible to the revo- Intionists. There was no suggestion of a crim- inal prosecution; in one case the injured husband showed an indulgent consideration for his erring wife, and in the other a wife, bitterly wronged, forgave her husband and welcomed him again to The offenders were rich, and were, therefore, a:mored against the first weapon which outraged society seizes—the infliction of penury. Having enjoyed unusual educational op- portunities, they had fortified themselves with all the bard precepts of a selfish philosophy against the blighting sentiments of remorse and shame. Yet they discovered the profound truth of the Preacher’s saying: “In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge }increaseth sorrow.” In the one case social revenge struck the guilty couple, who, broken in five months by the pressure of public censure, died together by their own hands. In the other retribution wag still more cruel. An innocent man, the very one most wronged, was the victim.

But the young wife, childless and liv- ing in idleness, turned her thoughts inward upon herself. She decided—and decided with morbid inaccuracy, shé afterward admitted—that her marriage was a mistake, that her husband, im- mersed in business, did not love her men loved the heroines of the: novels she read, and that she had an individual: right to happiness, cost what it might to others. As she brooded upon her situation, she be- came convinced that the world had done her wrong. Married at 17 and believing that her choice of a husband was immature, she resented “that domineering thing called the law” which bound her to him. She thought it unjust that young girls should be flung into matrimony like small boys thrown for the first time into water and told to sink or swim. In this opinfon she had the precedent of the great Milton himself, who, in one of his divorce tractates, half lament- ed the restraint which had won him the name of “the lady of Christ’s College” as one of the possible causes of his domestic unhappiness. “Life is short,” she mourned, looking miserably upon her diamonds, her hundred fine dresses, her elegantly furnished cottage. “With each day it grows shorter.

The deluded wife and the romantic young man became acquainted and, li'e many ‘“misunderstoo women,” she thought she had found the idea: lover of her dreams in the first ardent yout’ whom fate threw in her path. On Sept. 5, 1911, dashing young Mrs. Suydam was missing from her cottage and Noble disappeared from his father’s home. Their whereabouts were un- known for 10 days. Then they were found in an apartment house in West Twelfth street. With a frank insensibility of their guilt, they admitted their love, defied the world to disturb it and posed for newspeper photographers. The scandal in fashionable Blue Point was electrical. “Why should anybody recognize such conven- tions as marriage and divorce?” Mrs. Suydam demanded of reporters. To Nobdle’s grief-stricken father, a simple soul, who attempted to separate the lovers, she quoted philosophy which, he said, Mrs. Suydam and Nobile quurret. “no healthy mind could understand or tolerate.” But this cynical defiance was too st:ained an attitude to hold long. Suydam, in her small apartment, began to regret the comforts and servants of her past life. She was cut off at a stroke from the world she had lived in since her birth, and from the friends of her girlhood. She began to look upon Noble with clearer cycs, and at last perceived him for what he was—a simple, ordinary young man like thousands of others in New York. Her husband's sorrowful pity and kindness gince her flight touched her, and she recalled her life with him in a more luminous vision. At last came the torturing con- Mrs. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST.

On his side, Noble lost his position and grew sullen when he could find no other and was forced to depend upon his companion for sup- port. He discovered that Mrs. Suydam no longer loved him with her first ardor. Between the al- lies, who had bound themselves together in out- lawry to battle against the world, quarrels arose. The boy, weaiening first, told her he taw no escape but death. Suydam had at once brought suit for divorce on the only ground admitted in the State of New York, and an interlocutory decree was made final on Jan.. 10. On the night preceding, Mrs. Suydam, sending Noble away, burst into hysterical sobs. As a desperate resource, she telephoned to her hus- hand, implored him to forgive her, declared she, had made a dreadful mistake, and swore that she loved no one but him. What his reply wag she did not tell, but when she left the telephone she wept wildly and cried: “I'll have to go through with it.” A week later, a faint hope again reviving, she contrived to be a guest at the home of her mother at luncheon.

I guess I can get them both.” ' And so she left the detectives’ office and went ‘home to lay out her plans. Here were two of them—both high priced and both willing to tell you anything you wanted, if you could pay them ‘enough—Hyloo Salada and Prof. Hines. Salada Hines as a metaphysician. Both were coining money, mostly from women dupes who were in love and looking for hus- bands. So Mrs. Goodwin had to pretend to be in love, too—this widow with the two grown-up gons and the grown-up daughter. But, for all that, she could act lovelorn as the best of them and that was her job for the nonce. fof her and return to his wife and children. Hichborn and Wylie at their villa near Paris. A stormy conference was held. Mrs. Hoyt com- nded that her daughter return at once to her husband and child. She retusea, declaring that ‘z she was happy for the ffrst time in her life.

If, at the end of that @, they were convinced they still loved each « , they would depart a second time and live ont their lives together under the sunny skies of fp Mealy. Probably no woman ever volunteered to ‘put her charms to s0 supreme a test. “THE WAGES OF For the sake of her children, Mrs. Wylie wel- comed her husband's homecoming and consented to forgive, if not to forget. They sailed io Eit- rope together. But when Mrs. Hichborn c9»lly made the proposal that her husband take her back that she might dis over whether she really loved him or his riva:, she was repulsed by his proud. relatives. Pefore the five months had passed Mrs. Hich- born’s reliance in her own attractions was vin- dicated. Wylie transferred most of his fortune to his wife, resigned from all of his clubs and went again to Europe. There Mrs. Hichborn, radiantly nappy over her signal triumph, joined] him. Who can describe the sorrow of Philip Hich- born over the fall of the girl he had adorei us his wife and idolized as the mother of his child? He wandered from one health resort to another, but grief kept step with him. He attempted to bury memory in work, but misery loosed the pen in his hand. He went to California in the hope of respite, but in vain. Then, with a somber purpose in his mind, he returned home. On March 27 last his sister, Mrs. Pearsall, found him dead in a room in her residence with a pistol beside him and a bullet through his brain. He had heard within 24 hours that his wife had given birth to a child, of whom Wylie was the father. “Il am not responsible for this act,” Hichborn sO SIN IS DEATH ” wrote in a iarewell note to his relatives. mind has been unbalanced for some time.” Hichborn is dead, but will ne not live in the consciences of his wife and her lover and con- Stantly visit punishment for his death, prime of life, upon them?

eeeneilases Ques Chinese Queues Not Sold .. XPERTS in the human hair trade in Hong- E kong say that if buyers of human hair in the United States expect a great oversup- ply as a result of queue cutting in China they are likely to be disappointed. Instead of an over- supply the changes now going on are cutting off the chief sources of supply in China, and there is likely soon to be a decided falling away. Contrary to the general impression in the United States and Europe, the queues when cut are not sold. This is an absolute rule, so far as South China is concerned, and it is the custom all over those portions of China from which the writer has been able to secure reliable data on this sub- ject. The queues, when cut, are preserved, ac- cording to general statement, for burial with the owner. The chief supply has come from Chinese barber shops where, in the course of shaving portions of the heads of customers, considerable long hair is accidentally removed. Now that queues are cut, however, Chinese barbers have no more long hair to dispose of than barbers in the United States. A contraction of the supply in Hongkong already is apparent, and. but for the hesitancy of Ameri- can and other foreign buyers to meet the market here the prices for supplies locally would have gone up. As it is, prices here are remaining firm in spite of an indisposition on the part of foreign buyers to meet them. The declared value of exports of human hair from Hongkong to the United States in 1911 was $292,758, as compared with $695,137 in 1910, $327,- 559 in 1909 and $92,209 in 1908. Shipments from the Hongkong market in 1911 to all countries was much larger in volume than the year before, aggregating 1.759,833 pounds, in contrast to about 1,206,000 pounds in 1910. A great proportion of the shipments, however, was of low grade bair, used for various purposes other than for false hair—for example, a new It is value of the season’s ship- ts will exceed $900,000 gold, as compared with 000 a year ago.

O YOU, madame, prefer to look as you have looked for several seasons past, slim and Directions for straight, or do you wel*ome almost any- thing im the way Of variety and approval of a istss > ‘ 7 , (rm ; Transferring Pattern. new silhouette—a quaint Watteau figure, per- baj.s, w greet you when you salute your mirror? For once Paris dressmakers, it seems, ac nowl- edge their inability to decide just what your cor- rect outline shall be. A change is due, assuredly, but several attempts to thrust the opposite ex- treme of wide skirts, hoopskirts, etc., have been unsuccessful. The woman of fashion persistently clings to the clinging skirt, so the fashion makers have eccom- plished a compromise. The clinging foundation skirt is retained and the change of outline is effected with panniers, They are a revival of a mode that ran high in the period of Louis XV, but the panniers of those days recorded by the paintings of Watteau, Boucher and Chardin are so modified and adapt- ed to our own times that they may with justice be termed the pannier of 1912. The new panniers are so varied in style and adjustment that one sees instinctively that any type, or, in fact, any weight, of woman may wear them with impunity. There is one that resembles closely the late, un- lamented hobble, but there are others draped low down and close over little tight underskirts that keep the figure as slim and svelt as a willow wand. Perhaps the most popular manifestation of the pannier is that approved by Paquin. It is shaped sO as to reveal a long-pointed V, which, as shown in the illustration, makes the over-drapery becom- ingly lengthen, rather than shorten, the figure. . » e Frills for the Neck UFFS, frills, ruches and jabotsa, fixings for the neck, are shown in profusion in the various shops at present, @€nd an occa sional purchase of some dainty bit of this finery will serve to freshen up for “between whiles” laut gearon’s spring suit or thetrusty winter street frock which has served you so long and well. “Especially good,? says the dainty woman at the head of the neckwear department in a Broudway shop, “are Marie Antoinette frills we sell by the yard for collarg and cuffs, It consists of a band of black velvet ribbon edged on one side with quite a wide pleating and on the other with a narrow ruffle.

Bometimes they are square, sometimes pointed back and froat.” ly, three to five tramsfers may be made from the pattern on this page to cloth. The process is simple: Spread your eloth on a smooth, hard surface. Dampen the back of the pattern until you can see the print through the paper. Lay the paper upon the cloth and with the bowl of a spoon press down upon the cloth, being careful to press firmly and not tear the paper. If a dry piece of paper is laid over the dampened paper the danger of tearing is lessened. By this means the pattern will be printed on the cloth. Cut out and preserve this page.

Qu aint and _ Simple Gowns HESE gowns in the manner of Paul Poiret express the quaintness and simplicity which are the keynote of that artist's work. He it ig who has demonstrated how the splendid, gorgeous fabrics of the East and vivid Oriental colorings may be adapted to practical Occidental requirements if only the rule of sim- plicity of line is adhered to. What could be more charmingly youthful and naive than the little frock on the left? Yet it may be as colorfu] ag the Gypsy type of beauty wearing it may require and rich enough in tex- ture to suit the most extravagant taste if need be.

They’re dangerous. ~- I says to Mrs. Kraus, I says”—— And so the stream of high-pitched, eager talk flowed until the two men escaped frorvn it into the vacant apart- ment. This was much as Average Jones had seen On his former visit. Only the strange valise was missing. Going to the kitchen, which opened through interme- diate doors on a straight line with the front room, Average Jones inspected the window. The glass was thickly marked with faint, bluish blurs. There was nothing indicative below the window, unless it were a considerable amount of crumbled putty. In the front room a mass of papers had been half burned. Some of them were local journals, mostly the Evening Register. A few were publications in the Arabic text.: “Oriental newspapers,” remarked Bertram. Average Jones picked them up and began to fold them. From between tWo sheets fluttered a bit of paper, narrow and half curled, as if from the drying of mucilage. He lifted and read it. “Here we are again, Bert,” he remarked. “The qual- ity of this Mercy is strained, all right.” The two men bent over the slip, studying it. The word was, as Average Jones had said, in a strained, effortful handwriting, and each letter stood distinct. These were the characters: sa, le “Is it mathematical, do you think, possibly?” asked Average Jones. “All alone by itself like that? tather not! More like a label, if you ask me.” “The little sister of the label on the cabinet, then.” “Cherchez la famme,” obsetved Bertram. “It sounds like perfect foolishness to me; a swollen-faced out- lander who rules familiar spirits with a wand, and, be- tween investigations in the realms of science, writes a girl’s name all over the place like a lovesick schoolboy! Is Mercy his spirit-control, do you suppose?’ “Oh, let’s get out of here,” said Average Jones. “The next step,’ he observed, ag they walked slowly up the street, “is by train. Want to take a short trip tomor- row, Bert? “Whither away, fair youth?” “To the place where the fake ‘Smith’ and the lost Craig have been doing their little stunts.” “I thought you said Prof. Gehren couldn’t tell you where Craig had gone.”’ “No more he could. So I’ve got to find out for my- self. Here’s the way I figure it out: The two men have been engaged in some out-of-door work that is extra hazardous. So much we know. Harvey Craig has, I’m afraid, succumbed to it. Otherwise he’d have sent some word to Prof. Gehren. He may be dead or he may only be disabled by the dangerous character of the work. In any case our mysterious foreign friend has probably skipped out hastily. Now, I propose to find the rail- road station they passed through, coming and going, and interview the ticket agent.” “You've got a large contract on your hands.” “All we have to-do is to look for a place that is very isolated and quite near New York.” “How do you know it is quite near New York?” “Because Harvey Craig went there and back bé- tween noon and 2 oc'’clock, Prof. Gehren says. Now, we've got to finé such a place which is near a stretch of deserted, swampy ground, very badly infested with mos- quitoes. I'd thought of the Hackensack Meadows, just across the river in Jersey.” “That is all very well,” said Bertram; “but why mos- quitoes?”’ “Why, the pofsoned and swollen face and hands both of them suffere¢ from,” explained Average Jones. “I'd thought of poison-ivy or some kind of plant they’d been grubbing at.” “So had I. But I happened to think that anything of that sort, if it Xxad poisoned them once, would keep on poisoning them, while mosquitoes they cou!d protect themselves against, if they didn't become immune, as they most likely would. As there must have been a lot of ‘skeeters’ to do the kind of job that ‘Smith’s face showed, I natur€lly figured on a swamp.” “Average,” sald Bertram svlemniv, “TI used to com- mute on the Je"*sey & Delaware Short Line. There’s a station on that ‘tine, Pearlington by naire, that’s a com- bination of Motquitoville, Lonesomehurst and Nutting Doon. It’s in ‘he mathematical center of the ghast- liest marsh anyWhere between Here and Somewhereelse. I think that’s ¢ur little summer resort, and I'm yontrs for the 9 a. m. train tomorrow.” Dismounting from that rather casual accommodation on the following day, the two friends found Pearlington to consist of a windowed packing-box inhabited by a hermit in a brass-buttoned blue. This lonely official readily identified the subjects of Average Jones’ inquiry. “The dago was tull and thin and had white hair; al- most snow white. No, he wasn’t old, neither. He talked very soft and siow. Used to stay off in the reeds three and four days at a time. No, ain’t seen him for near a week: him nor bis boat nor the young fellow that was with him. Sort of bugologists, or something, wasn't they?’ “Have you anv? idea where we could find their camp?’ The railroad nan laughed. “Fine chance you got of finding anything in that swamp. There’s 10 square miles of it, every square just like every other suuare, and a hundred little islands, and a thousand creeks and rivers winding through. It’s my notion they must have had a houseboat. They could a-rowed it up on the tide from the Kills—a little one. I never saw no tent with ‘em. And they had to have something over their heads. The boat 1 seen ‘em have Was a rowboat. I s'’pose they used it to go Hack and forth in.” On the following day this advertisement appeared in the newspapers of several shore towns along the New Jersey and Staten Island coast: ADRIFT—A small houseboat lost several days ago from the Hackensack Meadows. Fifty dollars re- ward paid for information leading to recovery. Jones, Ad-Visor, Astor Court Temple, New York. Two days later came a reply, locating the lost craft at Bayonne. Average Jones went thither and identified it. Within its single room was uttermost confusion, testifying to the simplest kind #@ housekeeping sharply terminated. Attempt had been made to burn the boat before it was given to wind and current, but certain evidences of charred wood, and the fact of a succession of furious thunder showers tn the week past, suggested the reason for failure. In a heap of rubbish, where the ‘fire had apparently started, Average Jones found, first, FICTION SECTION.-ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH-——APRIL 14, 1912. PAGE TWO. * 2

a Washington newspaper, Which he pocketed; next, with a swelling heart, the wreck of the pasteboard cabinet, but no sign of the strange valise which had held it. The “Mercy” sign was gone from the cabinet, its place being supplied by a placard, larger, in a different hand- writing, and startlingly more specific: ‘DANGER! IF FOUND DESTROY AT ONCE. Do Not Touch With Bare Hands.’’ Average Jones detached the sign. The cabinet proved to be empty. He pushed a rock inte it, lifted it on the end of a stick and dropped it overboard. One after an- otber eight little fishes glinted up through the water, turned their white bellies to the sunlight and bobbed, motionless. The investigator hastily threw away the label and cast his gloves after it. But on his return to the city he was able to give a reproduction of the writing to Prof. Gehren which convinced that anxious scholar that Harvey Craig had been alive and able to write not long before the time when the houseboat was set adrift.

OME days after the recovery of the housbeoat, Average Jones sat at breakfast, according to his custom, in the cafe of the Hotel Palatia. Several matters were troubling his normally serene mind. First of these was the loss of the trail which should have led to Harvey Craig. Second, as a minor issue, the Oriental papers found in the deserted Bellair street apartment had been proved, by translation, to consist mainly of revolutionary sound and fury, signifying, to the person most concerned, nothing. As for the issue of the Washington daily, culled from the houseboat, there was, amidst the usual melange of social, diplo- matic, political and city news, no marked passage to show any reason for its having been in the possession of “Smith.” Average Jones had studied and restudied the columns, both reading matter and advertising, until he knew them almost by heart. During the period of waiting for his order to he brought he was brooding over the problem, when he felt a hand-pressure on his shoulder and turned to confront Mr. Thomas Colvin Mcintyre, sclemn of countenance and groomed with a supernal modesty of elegance, as befitted a rising young diplomat, already Fifth Assistant Secretary of State of the United States of America “Hello, Tommy.” said the breakfaster. “What’ll you have te drink? An entente cordiale?”’ “Don’t joke,” said the other. “I’m tin a pale pink funk. I'm afraid to look into the morning papers.” “What have you been up to that’s scandalous?” “Tt isn’t me,” replied the diplomat ungrammatically. “It’s Telfik Bey.” “Telfik Bey? Let me think.” The name had struck a response from some thought-wire within Average Jones’ perturbed brain, Presently it came to him as vizualized print in small head-linesa, reproduced to the mind’s eye from the Washington newspaper which he had so exhaustively studied, THIS TURK A QUICK JUMPER Telfik Bey, Guest of Turkish Embassy, Barely Escapes a Speeding Motor-Car. The “story,” was brief. But to Average Joneg it began to glow luminously. “Who is Telfik Bey?’ he inqutred. “He isn’t. Up to yesterday he was a guest of this hotel.” “Skipped without paying his bill?” “Yes—ah. Skipped—that is, left—suddenly—without paying his bill, if you choose to put it that way.” “Oh, I beg your pardon, Tommy. Was he a friend of yours?’ “No. He was,.in a sense, a ward of the Department, over here on invitation. This is what has almost driven me crazy.” Fumbling nervously in the pocket of his creaseless white waistcoat he brought forth a death notice. “From the Dial,” he said, handing it to Average Jones. The clipping looked conventional enough: DIED—July 31, suddenly at the Hotel Palatia; Telfik Bey of Stamboul, Turkey. Funeral serv- ices from the Turkish Embassy, Washington, on Tuesday. Ana Alhari., “If the newspapers ever discover’—— The _young diplomat stopped short before the enormity of the hypothesis “It looks straight enough to me as a death notice, ex- cept for the tail, What does ‘Ana Alhari’ mean? Sort of a requiescat?” “Yes: like a mice!" said young Mr. McIntyre bitterly. “It means ‘Hurrah!’ That’s the sort of requiscat it is!’ “Ah! Then they got him the second time.” ‘What do you mean by ‘second time?” ‘“The Washington incident, of course, was the first; the attempted murd— that is, the narrow escape of Telfik Bey.” “I'm blessed if I know what you’re up to, Jones,” young Mr. McIntyre said. “But if you do know any- thing of this case I need your help. In Washington, where they .failed. we fooled the newspapers. Here, where they’ve succeeded”’—-—— “Who are ‘they?’ interrupted Jones. “That's what I’m here to get at. The murderers of Telfiik Bey. My instructions are to find out secretly. For if it does get into the newspapers there'll be the very deuce to pay. It isn’t desirable that even Telfik Bey’s presence here should have been known for reasons which—ah—which, not being for the public, I need not detail to you.” “You need not tell me anything about ia at all,” ob- served Average Jones equably. “But I need your help. You know something about handling the newspapers, don’t you?’ “I know how to get things in; not how to keep them out.” “It may already be too late. What newspapers have you there?’ “Ali of ‘em. ‘Turk dies at Palatia,’ read Average Jones. ‘Mm—heart disease . . . wealthy Stambcul merchant . . . studying American Methede 3 Turkish minister notified.” “And the other reports?” Average Jones ran them swiftly over. “About the same. Hold on! Here's a little something extra in the Universal.” “*Found on the floor . . . bell-boy who discovered the tragedy collapses . . . condition serious . . Supposedly shock.’ ” “Teltik Bey is a secret, confidential agent of the Turk- ish Government,” said the diplomat. “He came over to New York from Washington in spite of warnings that he would be killed.”

It doesn’t satis- fy you?” i “It won't satisfy the State Department” ‘Come up with me and lock the place over, Averace. Let me send for the manager.” That functionary, upon assurance that Average Jones was. “safe,” led the way to the rooms so hastily vacated by the spirit of the Turkish guest. “We've succeeded in keeping twa recent suicides and a blackmail scheme in this hotel out of the news- papers,” observed the manager. “But this would be the worst of all. If I could have known, when the Turkish Embassy reserved the apartment” “The Turkish Embassy never reserved any apartment for Telfik Bey,” put in the Fifth Assistant Secretary of State. "7 “Surely you are mistaken, sir. I saw thelr emissary myself. He specified for rooms on the south side, either the third or fourth floor.” “You gave him a definite reservation?” asked Jones. “Yes; 335 and 336.” “Has the man been here since?” “Not to my knowledge.” “A Turk, you think?’ “Foreign, anyway.” “Anything about him strike you particularly?” “He was tail and thin and looked sickly. He talked very soft, too, like a sick man.” The characterization of the Pearlington station agent recurred to the interrogator’s mind. “Had he—tr— white hair?” he half yawned. “No,” replied the manager, and the budding diplomas demanded: “What are you up to, Average?” Average Jones turned to him. “To what other hotels would the Turkish Embassy be likely to send its men?™ “Sometimes their charge d’affaires goes to the Nedere strom.” “Go up there and find out whether a room has bees reserved for Telfik Bey, and if so” “They. wouldn’t reserve at two hotels, would they?” “_-_by whom,” concluded Average Jones, “Find out who occupied or reserved the apartments on either side Meantime, I'll be in the Turk’s room here.” Numbers 335 and 336, which the manager opened, after the departure of Mr.. McIntyre, proved to consist of a small sitting room, a bedroom and a bath, teach with a large window giving on the cross-street, well back from Fifth avenue. “Here's where he was found.” The manager in- dicated a spot near the wall of the sitting room and opposite the window. “He had just pushed the button when he fell.” “How do you know that?” “Bronson, the bell-boy on that call, answered. He knocked several times and got no answer. Then he opened the dour and saw Mr. Telfik ali in a heap.” “Where is Bronson?” “At the hospital, unconscious, Shock, the doctors say.” ‘“What—er—about the—er—shot?” “Well, Bronson says that just as he opened the door he saw a bullet cross the room and strike the wall above the body.” “You can’t see a bullet in flight.” “He saw this one. As soon as it struck it exploded, Three other people heard it.’’ “What did Bronson do?” “Lost his head and ran out. He hadn’t got half way to the elevator when he fell, in a sort of fainting fit. He came to long enough to tell his story. Then he got terribly nauseated and went off again.” “He’s sure the man had fallen before the explosion?” “Absolutely.”’ “And he got no answer to his knocking?’ “No. That's why “he went in. He thought something might be wrong?” ; “Had anybody else been in the room or past it within a few minutes?” “Absolutely no one. The floor girl's desk is just out- side. She must have seen anyone going in.” “Has she anything to add?’ “She heard the shot. And a minute or two before, she had heard and felt a jar from the room.” “Corroborative of the man having fallen before the shot,” commented Jones. | “When I got here, five minutes later, he was quite dead,” continued the manager. Evidence of the explosion was slight to the investigat- ing eye of Average Jones. The wali showed an abrasion but no bullet hole. Against the leg of a desk he found a@ small metal shell, which he laid on the table. “There’s your bullet,” he observed. “It’s a cartridge, anyway,” cried the hotel man, ° “He must have been shot, after all.” “From inside the room? Hardly! -And certainly not with that. It’s a very smal] fulmirate of mercury shell, and never held lead. No,. The man was down, if not dead, before that went off.”

Average Jones was now at the window. Taking a piece of paper from ‘his pocket he brushed the contents of the window-si]Jl upon it. A dozen dead flies rolled upon the paper. He examined them, cast them aside and turned back to the manager. “Who occupy the acjoining rooms?’ “Two maiden ladies did, on the east. They’ve left. seen coming here for 10 years. “What's on the west, adjoining?” “Nothing. The corridur runs there.” “Then it isn’t probable that anyone got into the room from either side.” “Impossible,” said the manager. Mr. Thomas Colvin Mcintyre arrived with a flushed face. “You are right, Average,” he said. “The same man had reserved rooms at the Nederstrom for Telfik Bey.” “What's the location?” “Tenth floor; north side. He had insisted on both . details. Nos. 1015, 1017.’ “What neighbors?’ “Bond salesmen on one side, Rev. and Mrs. Salisburs of Wilmington on the other.” “Um-m-m. What across the street?’ “It’s the Glenargan office building, just opened, MPF. Jones,’ volunteered the manager. Average Jones turned to the window, closed it and fastened his handkerchief in the catch. “Leave that there,” he directed the manager. “Don’t let anyone into this room. I'm off.” Stopping to telephone, Average Jones ascertained that there were nv vacant vffices on the tenth floor, south side of the Glenargan apartment. building, facing the Nederstrom Hotel. The last one had been let two weeks before to a dark, foreign gentleman who was an expert on rugs. Well satisfied, the investigator crossed over to the skyscraper across from the Palatia. There he demanded of the superintendent a single office on '' & third floor, facing north. He wag taken to a clear 274 vacant room. One glance out of the window shu 4 him his hundkerchief, not opposite, but well to the wee«t. *.

Mr. Pere kins’ time isn’t up til! day after tomorrow, and his things are there yet. He told the janitor, though, that he was leaving town and wouldn’t bother to take away the things. They aren't worth much. Here’s the place,” They entered the office. In it were only a desk, two ehairs and a scrap basket. The basket was crammed with newspapers. One of them was the Hotel Register. Average Jones found Telfik Bey’s name in its roster. “I'll give $50 for the furniture as it stands.” “Glad to get it Will you want anything else?” “Yes. Send the janitor here.” That worthy, upon receipt of a considerable benefac- tion, expressed himself ready to serve the new tenant to the best of his ability. “Do you Know when Mr. Perkins left?” “Yes, sir. This morning, early.” “Sure it wasn’t yesterday?” “Am I sure? Didn't I help him to the street car and hand him his little package? That sick he was he couldn’t hardly walk alone.” “Do you think he passed the night here?” “I know he did. The scrubwoman heard him when she came this morning. Yes, sir. Sobbing, like.” The nerves of Average Jones gave a sharp “kickback.” His trend of thought had suddenly been reversed. The devious and scientific slayer of Telfik Bey in tears? It seemed completely out of the picture. “You may go,” said he, and seating himself at the desk, proceeded to an examination of his newly ac- quired property. The newspapers in the scrap bastet, mainly copies of the Evening Register, seemed to cone tain nothing germane to the issue. But, scattered among them, the searcher found a number of fibrous chips. They were short and thick; such chips as might be made by cutting a bamboo pole into cross lengths, @eonvenient for carrying “The ‘spirit-wand,’” observed Average Jones. was the ‘little package.’ of course.” The desk was bare, except for a few scraps of paper @®ad some writing implements. But in a crevice there shone a glimmer of glass. With a careful finger-nail Average Jones pushed out a small phial. It had evi- Gently been sealed with lead. Nothing was in it. Its discoverer leaned back and contemplated it with stiffened eyelids. For, upon its tiny, improvised label was scrawl- ed the “Mercy sign.” For silent minutes Average Jones sat bemused. Then, turning in a messenger call, he drew to him a sheet of paper, upen which he slowly wrote a few words. “You get a dollar extra if this reaches the advertising desk of the Register office within half an hour,” he ad- vised the urchin who answered the call. Punctuality was a vigiue which Average Jones cultivated to the point Bf a fad.

You wish to Know how Telfik Bey’—his eyes narrowed and glinted —“came to his reward.” “I know this much,” replied Average Jones as, follow- ed by his friends, he passed through the door which their host held open. “With young Craig as assistant, you prepared, in the loneliest part of the Hackensack Meadows, some kind of poison which, I believe, can be made with safety only in the open air.” “Not with safety, even then,” the foreigner said. gO On.” : “You found that your man was coming’ to New York.

There was a heavy fair without, followed by the light tinkle of glass. Average Jones, who had half crossed the room in @ leap, turned to his friends, warning them back. “Too late. We cant go out yet.

For all his languid self-control the club dilettante shivered a little as he thrust at if with a stick “Look, Average; hideous travesty!” Average Jones shook his head. “It isn’t ‘Mercy,’ Bert.

VERAGE JONES encountered the Westerner on @ Third avenue car. The man was peculiar in that he alone was not perspiring in the sodden August humidity. The clear-browned skin and the rangy strength of the figure gave him a certain dis- tinction. He held in his sinewy hands a doubly folded newspaper. Presently it slipped from his hold to the seat beside him. He stared at the window opposite with harassed and unseeing eyes. Abruptly he rose and went out on the platform. Average Jones picked up the paper. In the middle of the column to which it was folded was a marked advertisement: shall say tha¢ he and called up the it’s the ‘Mercy’ sign again.

No questions asked. “Reward greater than value of stones,” commented Average Jones. “There's a sentimental interest, then?’ “Will you take the case?” “At least I'll look into it,” replied Average Jones. “Come to the hotel, then, and lunch with me, and I'll @pen up the whole thing.” Across a luncheon table at the Hotel Denton, Kirby wnburdened himself. “You knew all that’s necessary about me. The—the ether party in the matter is Mrs. Hale. She's a young widow. We've been engaged for gix months; were to be married in a fortnight. Now she insists on @ postpone- ment.

It’s only her infern—her deep-rooted superstition that’s caused this trouble. One can’t blame her; her father and mother were both killed in an accident after some: sort of ‘ghostly warning.’ The first thing I gave her, after our engagement, was a necklace of these stones”—he tapped hts scarfpin—“that's I'd selected, one by one, myself.

And she’s hystericaliy sure that misfor- tune will follow us forever if we're married without re- covering the foo] necklace, So she's begged a post- ponement.” “Details,” said Average Jones crisply. “She's here at this hotel. Has a small suite on the third floor. Came down from her home in central New York to meet my mother, whom she had never seen. Mother’s here, too, on the same floor. Night before last Mrs. Hale thought she heard a noise in her outer room. In the morning when she got up, about 10, the necklace was gone,” “Wiere had it been left?’ “On a stand in her sitting room. Her purse, with over $100 in it, which lay under the necklace, wasn’t touched.” “Any other thefts in the hotel?’ “Not that I can di:cover. But one of the guests on the same fioor with Mrs. Hale saw a fellow acting queerly that same night. There he sits, yonder, at that table. I'll ask him io come over.” The guest, an elderly man, was willing to tell all he knew. “I was awakened by some one fumbling at. my door and making a clinking noise,” he explained. I called out. Nobody answered, Almost immediately I heard a noise across the hall. I opened my door. A man was fussing at the keyhole of the room opposite. He was very clumsy. I said, ‘Is that your room? He didn’t even look at me. In a moment he sterted down the hallway. He walked very fast, and I could hear him muttering to himself. He seemed to be carrying something in front of him with both hands. It was his keys, I sup- pose. Anyway I could hear it clink. At the end of the hall he stopped, turned to the door at the left and fum- bled at the keyhole for quite a while. I could hear his keys clink again. This time, I suppose, he had the right room, for he unlocked it and wernt in. I listened for 15 or 20 minutes. There was nothing further.” Average Jones looked at Kirby with lifted brows of inqgviiv. Kirby nodded, indicating that the end room wa: Mrs. Hales’. “How was the man dressed?’ asked Average Jones. “Grayish dressing gown and bed slippers. He was tall and had gray hair.” “Now, Mr. Kirby, will you take me to see Mrs. Hale.” The young widow received them in her sitting room. She was of the slender, big-eyed, sensitive type of womnrhood; her piquant face marred by the evidences of sleeplessness and tears. To Average Jones she gave her confidence at once. “I felt sure the advertisement would bring us help,” Bhe said wistfully. “Mr. Kirby tells me that the intruder awakened you.” “Still I can’t say positively that anything definite roused me; it Was rather an impression of some one's Sciug about. I came out of my bedroom and looked around the outer room, but there was nobody there,” Kirby assumed that the intruder had a key. “If he had a key to this room why did he try it on several other doors first?” propounded Average. Jones. “As for the clinking noise, in which I’m a good deal in- terested—may I look at your key, Mrs. Hale?’ She handed it to him. He tried it on the lock, out- side, jabbing at the metal setting. The resultant sound was dull and wooden. “Not much of the clink which our friend describes as having hedrd, is it?” he remarked. As he spoke Average Jones laid a hand on the heavy net curtains which hng before the balcony window. Instead of parting them, however, he stood with up- turned eyes. “Was that curtain torn before yesterday?” Mrs. Hale “I hardly think so.” Jones mounted a chair and examined the drapery. Descending, he tugged tentatively at the other curtain, first with his right hand, then with his left; then with both. The fabric gave a little at the last test. Jones disappeared through the window. When he returned. after five minutes, he held in his hand some scrapings of the rusted tron which formed the balcony railing. “You're a mining man, Mr. Kirby,” he said. he asked “Would Kirby examined the glinting particles. “Gold,” he said “Ah, then the necklace rubbed with some violence @gainst the railing. Now, Mra. Hale, how long were you awake?’ “Ten or 15 minutes. I remember that a continuous rattling of wagons below kept up for a little while. And I Heard one of the drivers call out something about taking the air.” The young man drew @ chair up to Mrs. Hale's es- eritoire, and, with an abrupt “excuse me,” helped himself to pen, ink and paper. “There!” he said. “Thath do for a starter. You see” he added, handing the product of his toil to Mrs. Hale, “this street happens to be the regular cross-town route for the milk that comes over by one of the minor ferries I¢ you heard a number of wagons Passing in the early aititnn they were the milk vans. Hence this.” MILK-DRIVERS, ATTENTION—Delaware Cen- ‘ 7 id tral mid-tewn routa. Who talked to man outside — hotel early morning of Aug. 7? Twenty dollars to right man. Apply personally to Jones, Ad-Visor, Astor Court Temple, New York. “For the coming issue of the Milk-Drivers’ Journal,” explained its author. “Now, Mr. Kirby, I want you to find cut for me the names of all those who gave up rooms on this floor, or the floorg above or below, yester- day morning, and ask whether they are known to the hotel people. I think I see smoke from your blue fires. [t took three days for the milk-journal advertisement to work. On the afternoon of Aug. 10, a husky-voiced teamster called at the office of the Ad-Visor. “I’m after that $20,” he declared. “Earn it,” said Average Jones. “Hotel Denton. Guy on the third floor balcony. Leanin’ on the rail as if he was sick. I give him a hello. ‘Takin’ a nip of night air, Bill? I says. He didn’t say nothin’. Kinder fanned himself an’ jerked his head back over his shoulder. Meanin’ it was too hot to sleep inside, I reckon.” Meantime Kirby had sent his list of the guests who had given up their rooms on Aug. 7. Armed with the list, Average Jones went to the Hotel Denton and spent a busy morning. . “I’ve had a little talk with the hotel servants,” said he to Kirby. “Mr. Henry M. Gillespie, of Locke, New York, had room 168 It’s on the same floor with. Mrs. Hale’s suite, at the further end of the hall. He had only one piece of luggage, a’ suitcase markei H. M. G. That information I got from the porter. He left his room in perfect order except for one thing: one of the Knobs on the headboard of the old-fashioned bed was broken off. short.” “Then think Henry M. Gillespie, of Locke,’ New York, is our man. “No,’ said Average Jones. “Because there’s no such person as Henry M. Gillespie, of Locke, New York.”’ Three stones of the fire-blue necklace returned on the current or advertised appeal. One was brought in by the night bartender of a “sporting” club. He had bought it from a man who had picked it up in a gutter. For the second a South Brooklyn pawnbroker demanded (and re- ceived) an exorbitant reward. A florist in Greenwich, Conn., contributed the last. Average Jones traced down these apparently incongruous wanderings of the stones and then followed them all back to Mrs. Hale's fire- escape. The bartender’s stone offered no difficulties. The Set- ting which the pawnbrokKer brought in had been found on the city refuse heap by a scavenger. It had fallen through a grating into the hotel cellar, and had been swept out with the rubbish to go to the municipal “dump.” The apparent mystery of the florist was lucid when Jones found that the hotel exchanged its shop- worn plants with the Greenwich Floral Co. His roam- ing eye had noticed a row of tubbed azaleas within the ground enclosure of the Denton. Recalling this to mind, it wus easy for the Ad-Visor to surmise that the gem had dropped from the fire escape into a tub, which was, shortly after, shipped to the florist. Thus it was apparent that the three jewels had been stripped from the neck- lace by forcible contact with the iron rail of the fire escape at the point where Average Jones had found the “color” of precious metaL The stones were identified by Kirby, from a peculiarity in the setting, as the end three, nearest the clasp at the back; a point which Jones care- fully noted. But there the trail ended. For three weeks Average Jones issued advertisements like commands. The first reads as follows: you « OH, YOU HOTEL MEN! Come through with the dope on H. M. G What’s he done to your place? Put a stamp on it and we'll swap dates on his past performances. A. Jones, Astor Court Temple, New York City. This was spread abroad through the medium of Mine Host’s Weekly and other organs of the hotel trade. It was followed by this, of a later date: WANTED—Slippery Sams, Human Eels, Fetter Kings, ete. Liberal reward to artist who sold second-hand props to amateur, with tnstructions for use. Send full details, time and place to A. Jones, Astor Court Temple, New York City. Variety, the Clipper and the Billboard scattered the appeal broadcast throughout “the profession.” Thousands read it, and one answered it. And within a few days Jones wired to Kirby: | Probably found. Bring Mrs. Hale tomorrow at 11. Answer. A. JONES.” Some minutes before the hour the pair were at Average Jones’ office. Kirby pranced with impatience. In a side room was a man with a large black dress-suit c.:se. “IT haven’t got the necklace and I haven't got the thief,”” announced Average Jones; “but I think I've got the man who's got the necklace. Mr. Harvey M. Greene now sits in the outer room.” The man from the outer room entered and nervously acknowledged his introduction to the others. “Mr. Greene,” explained Jones. “has kindly consented to help clear un the events of the night of Aug. 6 at the Hotel Denton—er—the loss of—er—Mrs, Hale’s jeweled necklace.” “What?” cried Greene, in obvious amazement. know anything about a necklace.” “That alsuv is possible,” Average Jones admitted. “if you'll permit the form of an examination: when you came to the Hotel Denton on Aug. 6, did you carry the same suitcase you now have with you, and _ similarly packed?” “Ye-es. As nearly as possible.” “In a large city and a strange hotel, for example, vou’d take any name which would correspond to the initials, H. M. G., on your dress-suit case. But in a small town where you were known, you’d be obliged to register under your real name of Harvey M. Greene. it was that necessity which enabled me to find you.” From his desk Jones produced a piece of netting, with hooks along one end. “Do you recognize the material, Mrs. Hale,” he asked. “Why, it’s the same stuff as the Hotel Denton curtains, ien’t it?” she asked. e “Yes,” said Average Jones, attaching it to the cwa. tain rod at the side door. “Now, will you jerk tae violentiy with one hand?” The fabric ripped from the hooks as she jerkhea “You remember,” said Jones, “that your curtain Wes torn partly across, and not ripped from the hook at all. Now see.” lie caught the netting In both hands and tautened it sharply. It began to part. “Awkward,” he said, “yet it’s the only way it could have been done. Now, here’s a bedpost, exactly like the one in room 168, occupied by Mr. Greene at the Denton, Kirby, you're a powerful man. Can you break that kneb off with one hand?” He wedged the post firmly in a chair for the trial The bedpost resisted. Jones coiled a rope around the post and handed the end to Kirby. He pulled sharply. The knob snapped and rolled on the floor. “Tl don't - reasons. 1 ae said urby. “But it doesn’t mean any- “2. sR. thing to me.” “Dcesn’t it? The guest who saw Mr. Greene in the hallway thought he was carrying something in both hands. The milk driver who hailed him on the balcony noticed that he gestured awkwardly with both hands. I assumed the theory that the phenomeng of that night were symptomatic rather than accidental, I \set out to find in what other places the poniediad ‘enon. G. had performed.” { He handed the “Oh, you hotel men” adver = \ sement t@ the little group. “Plenty of replies came. You have, Mr. Greene, a» unfortunate reputation among hotel proprietors. Small wonder that you use an alias! From the Hotel Car- pathia in Boston I got a response more valuable than | had dared to hope. An H. M. G. guest—H. Morton Gar- son, of Pillston, Pennsylvania (Mr Greene nodded)—had wrecked his room and left behind him this souvenir.” Jones pulled, clinking from the scrap-basket, a fine steel-chain. [t was endless and some 12 feet in total length, aid had two small loops, about a foot apart. “Yes, that is mine,” said Mr. Greene. “Ah! That’s very interesting,” said Average Jones. “Of course when I examined it and found no locks, I guessed that it was a trick chain, and that there were invisible springs in the wrist loops.’’ “But why should anyone chain Mr. Greene to hts bed with a trick chain?” questtoned Mrs. Hale. “He chained himself.” explained: Jones, “for excellent As there is no regular trade in these things, I figured that he probably. bought-it from some juesier, whose performance had given. him the idea -5%/' ‘¢on~— tinued Jones, producing a spécimen’ of his Advertisements in the theatrical publications, “I set out to fini what. professional had sold a ‘prop’ to an amateur. I found the sale had been made at Barsfield, O., late in Novem- ber of last year, by a “Slippery Sam,’ termed The Elusive Edwardes.’ On Nov. 28 of last year Mr. Harvey M. Greene, of Richmond, Va., was registered at the principal hotel at Barsfield. I wrote to him and here he is. “Do you remember anything of that night’s events after vou broke off the bedpost and left your room—tre meeting with a guest who questioned you in the hall, for examnrle?4’ asked Average Jones. “Nothing. Not a thing until I awoke and found my- self on the fire escape.” “Awoke?” cried Kirby. time?’ “Certainly. “Were you asleep all the I’m a confirmed sleep-walker. That’s why I go under an alias. That's why I got the trick handcuff chain and chained myself up with it, until 1 found it dreve me fighting crazy in my sleep when 1 couldn't brea away. That’s why I slept in my dress- ing gown that night at the Denton. There was a red light in the hal} outside, and any light, particularly a colored one, igs likely to set me going. I probably dream- ed I was escaping from a locomotive—that’s a common delusion of mine—and sought refuge in the first door that was open.”’ “Wait a minute.” said/ Average say that you spent | Lata colored light.” wo: fs “Mrs. tHlale, was the table on which the necklace lay in line with any light outside?” “I think probably with the direct ray of an electric globe shining through the farther window.” “Then. Mr. Greene,” said Average Jones, “the glint of the fire-blue stones undoubtedly caught your eye. You seized on the necklace and carried it out on the fire escape biulcony, where the cool air or the milk-driver’s hail awakened you. Have you no recollection of seeing such a thing?” “Not the faintest, unhappily.” “Then he must have dropped it to the ground below,” said Kirby. ; “I dont think so,’ controverted Jones slowly. “Mr. Greene must have been clinging to it tenaciously when it swung and caught against the railing, stripping off the three end stones. If.the whole necklace had dropped it would have broken up fine, and more than three stones would have returned to us.in reply to the ad- vertisements. And in that case, too, the chances against the end stones alone returning, out of all the 36, are too unlikely to be considered. No,-.the fire-blue neck- jace never fell to the ground. The necklace didn’t fall It didn’t stay. Therefore?’—he looked inquiringly at Mrs. Hale. “It returned,” she said quickly. “With Mr. Greene,” acded Average Jones. “IT tell you,” cried that gentleman, “I haven't set eyes on the wretched thing.” “Agreed,” returned Average Jones; ‘‘which doesn’t at all affect the point I wish to make. You may recall, Mr. Greene, that in my message I asked you to pack your suitcase exactly aa it was when you left the hotel with it on the morning of Aug. 7.” “I’ve done so with the exception of the conjurer’s chain, of course.” “Including the dressing gown you had on, that night, I assume. Have you worn it since?” “No. It hung in my closet until vesterday, when I folded it to pack. You see, I—I’ve had to give up the road on account of my unhappy failing.” “Then permit me.” Average Jones stooped to the dress-suit case, drew out the garment and thrust his hand into its one pocket. He turped to Mrs. Hale. She bent her dainty head, then gave a startled cry of delight as the young man, with a swift motion, looped over her shoulders a chain of living blue fires which gleamed and glinted in the sunlight. “They were there all the time,” she exclaimed; “and you knew it.” “Guessed it,” he corrected, “by figuring out that they couldn't. well be elsewhere—unless On the untenable hypothesis that our friend, Mr. Greene here, was a thief.” “Which only goes to prove,” said Kirby soberly, “that evidence may be a mighty deceptive accuser.” TO BE CONTINUED NEXT SUNDAY — J Jones. “VY ou—er— susceptible to—er—
