Another chapter was added to the his- tory of the famous Victoria Building deal of several years ago, when M. M. hens, }former Mayor of East St. ‘Li Aig, filed suit to collect $95,000 from CG. I.

BOSTON, Mass., May 24.—‘I am mar- rying for love and I am willing to give up $10,000,000 for love.’’ says Mrs. James A. Garland, the beautiful young widow who will forfeit the fortune left her by her husband when she marries Francis Cushing Green of New York, her finan- cia] adviser tomorrow. “Money isn't everything, and love is,”’ said Mrs. Garland today, at her home in Bourne, on Cape Cod.’ ‘“‘And besides, who ‘knows but that the man whom I am going to marry has more money than the amount I will lose by marrying again?’’ While the Post-Dispatch reporter was jinterviewing Mrs. Garland the prospec- tive bridegroom drove up in an automo- bile. Mr. Green said: “Why, I have always admired Mrs. Garland since we were children. When her husband died I was her attorney and became manager of her estate.” He said later it is a matter of litiga- tion whether a widow is entitled to one- third of her husband's estate, and from that statement it is to be believed a contest will be made over the fortune. Mr. Green, who is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the class of 189, will be attended by James A. Garland, Mrs. Garland’s oldest son. Mrs. Garland, who has been a widow for about five years, was Miss Marie Louise Tudor, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Tudor. She became the Mrs. Garland is the sister of Frederic Tudor of Needham and her sisters are Mrs. Frederic S. Converse of The Cross- ways, Westwood, who formerly was Emma Tudor; Mrs. Edward W. Slade, who was Euphemia Tudor, and Mrs. WwW. Starling Burgess, the first wife of Alexander Henry Higginson, and who before her first marriage was Rosa- mond Tudor. Mrs, Garland is the youngest of the four sisters. She has several children, Miss Hope Garland, James A. Garland, Tudor Garland, Charles Garland and Hamilton Garland. Canal Gates Close Quickly.

TAFT ATTACKS T. R.’S IDEAS ON CONSTITUTION PHILLIPSBURG, N.

Roosevelt's views of constitutional questions, the President said: “Would you have an unsound man with his ideas -of constitu- tional government in the presi- dency ?”’ By Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 24.—Neither Taft nof Roosevelt will have 540 instructed or pledged delegates, the required number to nominate, in the Republican national convention, according to opinions ex- pressed during a discussion of the proba- ble lineup by members of the National Committee here today, The members agreed that the control of the conven- tion would be in the hands of the un- instructed delegates, but would vouch- safe no guess as to what their action might be in the matter of selecting. a candidate. A supporter of Taft on the commit- tee declared that even if Roosevelt won all the @elegates yet to be chosen he still would be short of the necessary 640 votes. It is expected that the first real test vote between the Taft and Roosevelt forces in the convention would be on the adoption of the report of the Com- mittee on Credentials. Every contest passed on by the National Committee probably will be taken before the Com- mittee on Credentials and fought out on the floor of the convention. The com- mittee, it is predicted, will be about evenly divided and’ majority and minor- ity reports are almost certain to be presented to the convention. No Fight on Root Expected. The members of the National Commit- tee who have considered the matter do not expect a fight to be made on the selection of Elihu Root as temporary chairman of the convention. Officials of every important country will, it is expected, occupy seats on the platform as guests of honor at the convention. Application for seats already have been received from Count Bernstorff, Germaxk Ambassador, and James Bryce, Ambassador from Great Britain, and requests are expected from the diplo- matic representatives of other countries. Chairman New said an effort will be made to provide them with seats on the platform. Secretary William Hayward has re- ceived notice of a contest from the Ninth District of Georgia. Credentials have been received from the Fifteenth District of Texas, giving four instead of two alternates. Secretary Hayward‘ put the names of the two delegates on the temporary roll, but decided that seats for only two alternates will be provided. publication. * the live St. Louis merchants, this week, while these same as a resul — — Store news is good news To most people there is more concrete money value in store news than in the doings of the day recorded in the news columns, because the store news tells you where your needs can be supplied for the Jeast money.

In a brawl outside the Hiawatha Club at 2800 Olive street, at 1:30 a. m., Friday, a man who, the police say, is Arthur Price, 26 years old, of 3028 Bell avenue, salesman for the Maurer-Remley Gro- cery’ Co., was shot in the thigh. He is at the city hospital. The shooting was witnessed by three women in an automobile in front of the club. The women gave their names as Misses Margaret and Bessie McKeon of 4210 West Belle place and Miss Adele Burns, 2469 Roberts avenue. The women told the police all they knew of the affair was that they heard a shot from the dark and saw Price fall. When the wounded man was taken to the hospital, he gave his name as John Lawrence, 2816 Locust street. At noon Detective-Sergeant J. Harvey James identified him as Price. James says Price told him he gave the assumed name to keep relatives from finding out about the trouble. Police Look for Donovan. On informaticn furnished by men who had been with Price before the shoot- ing, the police are looking for a man known as John (Doc) Donovan, whom they wish to question. Two men, who gave their names as John Bert and Charles L. Reid, who were seen running away from the place, Were arrested. Policemen say they heard Bert exclaim, “I’m d—— lucky!” Bert and Reid denied to Capt. O’Brien at the Laclede Avenue Police Station that they knew anything of the shoot- ing. Chief Young ordered an investigation to leatn why policemen were not in front of the club at the time, in obedi- ence to the Chief’s orders. Stationing patrolmen in front of lid clubs had been decided on by the police as a policy of repression. When Reid was questioned by detec- tives he said that he, Price, Donovan and a tall stranger had been drinking together in the club. As they started away Price, Donovan and the stranger walked down the stairs ahead of him and appeared to be quarreling. iieid says he stopped on the stairs to talk to a stockman from East St. Louls. While he was talking he heard a shot, saw Price fall and saw Donovan and the tall man running away, he said. The officers learned subsequently that Bert had not been in the club. Orders were given for the release of him and Reid. Detectives visited the rooms of Ches- ter Willerton, 1808 Olive street, who had been with Reid and Donovan earlier in the evening. They found a revolver there but it had not been fired recently. As Willerton was able to show he was in his home by 10 o’clock, he was not mo- lested. Price told a Post-Dispatch re- porter at the hospital that he couldn't remember the events of the evening clearly. He had been drinking at the club, he said, and there had been quar- reling there. He said he had ino quar- rels himself. The only person he could remember seeing at the club was a man named Reed, he said. Heard Someone Call a Name. As he left the club he noticed an auto- mobile with several women in it stand- nig in front of the place. Somebody in the dark cried out a vile name. Law- rence said he didn’t believe the name was addressed to him, but he turned to see who had cried it. He felt a blow on his left thigh and a‘ first believed somebody had hft tim with a rock. Somebody told hin he ™as shot and that was ail le remem- bered. Immediately after the shooting the automobile with the women in it drove away. It returned an hour afterward and the party was detained by a pa- trolman, who took them to the Laclede Avenue Station. The young women said they had re- turned out of curiosity to see if some- body really had been shot and whether he was badly hurt. They were released. PAYROLL PADDER GETS YEAR AND IS PAROLED Iron Mountain Superintendent Promises to Restore $43 to the Company. Robert A. Bromigan, 42 years old, su- rerintendent of water construction for the Iron Mountain Railroad, at Poplar Bluff, Mo., pleaded guilty in Judge Tay- lor’s Court Friday to padding his pay- roll. He said he had giwen two fraudu- lent orders for pay to aggregate $43.10, the amount of an expense account he had turned in which the company had re- fused to pay. He was sentenced to the workhouse for a year and paroled. Nathaniel Hammer of Bismarck, the employe to whom he had given the or- ders, was questioned by & cashier Thurs- HENRY S.PRIEST.

After telling a Post-Dispatch staff correspondent of their intention to wed in June, Judge Priest and Mrs. Hill took a stroll through natural parks of xaench Lick and then played, a round of golf. Upon their return to the hotel late in the afternoon they found tele- grams awaiting. them. Among the 500 guests at French Liék, ineluding .many bridal couples, none appeared more happy than Judge /riest and Mrs. Hill. Judge Priest had intend- ed to remain here over Sunday,. but pressing telegrams from clients in St. Louis may require that he go home earlier. Up with the sun each day since their arrival in French Lick Springs, Judge Priest and his flancee have been among the leaders of the social activities of the Indiana Spa.. Mrs. Hill, tall,: athletic and handsome, is on the golf links eariy every day with Judge Priest. The precision of Mrs. Hill’s drives and puts have won the admiration of the golf experts. at French Lick. Judge Priest is one of the most expert players in St. Louis, but he has to use all of his skill to hold his own’ with the fair antagonist. Sources of amusement at French Lick are limited, but after the golf games Mrs. Hill and Judge Priest may be found at the rifle range testing their skill. The prizes for marksmanship, however, have been won by Mrs. George T. Priest, daughter-in-law of Judge Priest, who has been here with her hus- band during the week. Judge Priest met several old friends here, among them, Samuel M. Felton, former president of the Chicago & Al- ton Railway, and former Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, attorney for the Burlington. He finds time for a game with Felton, Judge Spencer and other visitors nearly every day. In June, the exact date not having been fixed, Judge Priest and Mrs. Hill will be married, probably in the East, After a honeymoon tour they will return to St. Louis. Mrs. Hill told the Post-Dispatch cor- respondent that she had visited St. Louis several times, and was delighted with it. “TIT am sure I shall like St. Louis as a home very much,” she said. “T have al- ways admired the beautiful residences of St. Louis and the hospitality of the people.” Mrs. Hill takes a keen interest in pol- tics.

Divorced Wife of W. H. Stamm, Milliner, Bride of Athlete, Son of Late “Apple King’— ‘He Tries to Tell, She Stops Him.

Conrad L. Schopp, an and a wealthy commission man, was married Thursday to Miss Cecelia M, Krone, divorced wife of William H. Stamm, a milliner, who once filed a $10,- C00 suit against Schopp for alienating Mrs, Stamm's affections. A Post-Dispatch reporter was told by a@ woman who answered the hell at the Schopp residence, 3832 WwW n boulevard, that the cere- mony performed at Miss Krone's residence, 525 North Newstead avenue, by the Rev. Dr. Niccolls, and that Schopp and his bride had gone away. Rice scattered around the front door indicated that they had departed with the good wishes of many friends for their new home, which, it was learned at the bride's former residence, is at 4002 Shaw avenue. Reporters who called at this number. Waded through a second fall of rice to reach the door. Schopp, who appeared very happy, answered the bell. He wanted to give a few details of the wedding which, he said, took place at 6 p. m., but Mrs. Schopp sat at the head of the stairs and kept interrupting him with cries of, “Connie, keep still.” When he persisted in hig desire to ex- Plain how their happiness had been brought about, his bride ran down the staira, “Connie, who's doing this?” she said determinedly, and waving the reporters good-by, she shut the door. ‘He Is Son of “Apple King,” Mrs. Schopp’s mother is the divorced wife of State Senater Charles M. Krone. Schopp, who is 22 years old, is a son of Conrad Schopp, long known as “the ap- pie king,” who died after a nervous breakdown in 1908 Young Schopp was best man for Stamm at his marriage, Sept. 20, 199. Besides achieving local renown as an athlete, he has the dis- tinction of being one of the 24 passen- gers carried in Count’ Zeppelin's big airship in Germany. on its famous tri made in the summer of 1910. Mr. and Mrs, Stamm separated May 4, 1910, and Stamm’s suit against Schopp athlete alleged that Schopn began pursuing his “Stamm sald he warned Schopp, but

was filed the following October, Stamm {|

— wife in. December, 1909, and by his “blandishments and flattery’’ so in- fatuated her that she neglected’ her we and refused to keep house for to no avail. Schopp continued to visit Mrs. Stamm almost daily, Stamm as- serted, and they went riding and driv- ing together until they “‘scandalized the neighborhood.”” The Stamms then re- sided at 2919 Milton avenue. While Schopp was in Burope, from June to September, 1910, Mrs. Stamm re- fused to go out evenings or accept any aitentions from her husband, Stamm’s petition said. When Schopp returned, Stamm alleged, Mrs. Stamm first went Lo live in a Newstead avenue flat main- tained by Schopp, and later moved to a downtown hotel. Charged Wife Sat Up With Schopp In depositions which were filed in January, 1911, Stamm said: “While I was at my millinery estab- lishment, Schopp would be at my home heiping Mrs, Stamm get supper. In the evening he would call and stay so late that I would go to bed, and my yife would sit up with him until 2 or 2 a. m. When I would leave her in charge of the store he would call there.” This alienation suit was dismissed by Siamm before it was called for trial, ard Mrs. Stamm filed a divorce suit a few weeks later. She obtained a decree in May last year, after testifying that her milliner husband limited her to one dress and no hat in the seven months they lived together. The case was tried before Judge Grimm, who was a guest at the wedding in 19099. He gave $500 alimony in gross to the plaintiff and restored the name of Krone at her request. Mrs. Stamm testified she studied ste- nography after separating from Stamm and was able to make her own living. Schopp formerly was: a football star at Smith Academy. In addition to his ability as a story writer, he is known as the composer of several college songs which are popular with glee clubs.

WITH HUSBAND IF HE GOES TOPRISON Mrs. Joseph Conradi Visits St. Louisan in New Orleans.as Ap- peal Verdict Is Waited. ’ , eo —*

TS

| NEW ORLEANS, May 24.—Every morning, when the hour for visitors arrives, the wardens at the parish jail here admit a woman who has been a constant visitor for eight months. She is Mrs. Conradi, wife of Joseph Conradi of %20 Thomas street, St. Louis, an afchitect who was convicted of sending a blackmailing letter to Father Stenmans of St. Joseph’s Church at Gretna, sentenced to pay a $1000 fine and serve a penitentiary sen- tence of one year, whose appeal is pending before the Supreme Court of the State. The strange story of this woman, who has been so steadfastly loyal to her husband in his troubles; hag awakened the sympathy of all here who have heard it. She sits with the architect in the jail by the hour, and often brings their 3-year-old daughter, Marie. The * ~~ he Pe —

Price Cut as Soon as Fixed, “I mind once we were meeting at the Weddell, in Cleveland, tryin’ to improve things. We'd fixed the price of nails at $1.50 a keg and when we quit for luncheon Frank Baackes of the Amer- ican Steel and Wire Co. slipped doon to the telegraph office and sent a tele- gram to one of his customers, sayin’: ‘I’ve booked your order for 10,000 kegs at $1.40’—and we’d just fixed the price, mind you. “Noo, it happened that I was in the office getting ready to send a seemilar telegram to my partners, when the girl got mixed up and handed me Baackes’ telegram askin’ if it was right. I read it and stuffed it into my pocket, and when we got back into the meetin’ I handed it to the chairman and sald: ‘Read that!’ He did, and cried to me, ‘Kick him doon stairs; I’ll pay the fine.’ But he was a bigger mon than me.” Upon the sale of his tin plate works Stevenson devoted himself to the other branches of the Shenango Valley Co., upon which tho National Steel Co. turned acquisitive eyes. “We had $300,000 invested,” Stevenson explained, “and issued $150,000 in bonds, | besides putting in $250,000 additional cap- ital. With accrued profits that brought the worth of the plant up to $1,000,000. Mind I was laid up at home with a broken leg. My wife and the family. were at me to sell and get out of busi- ness, and I told W. E. Reis, our presi- dent to sell. “He did and I gave him eredit fer selling judiciously. He got $3,300,000 for the plant. The same old crowd bob up in this deal.’’ : Stevenson later helped to organize the Sharon Steel Co. and became vice pres- ident and genera] manager, taking one- half of the company’s $2,000,000 canital. “What did this company make?’ the Scotsman was asked. “Oh, everything. We had wire mills, and rod mills, and tube mills, and nail mills, and tin plate mills, and rolling mills and blast furnaces—we just shook the apple tree again. You see, ¥ was Settin’ up in years and needed some- thing to keep me out of mischief, Some of my partners had come down from New York and got into a great deal of mischief. Why, one of them married a chorus girl! “Presently the same old crowd bobbed up again and wanted our tin plate works. ‘I came down to New York to see them, but they didn’t offer the right price. They threatened and I threat- ened, and finally I proposed that we be given 10 per cent of the country produc- tion. They wouldn’t do it, and then I they were to take ever our output. We made 87% per cent profit in the first year and six months later the contract Was broken.” / BStevenson’s next “surrender” to the trust followed the merger of the Sharon and the Union Steel Co. The merged Union then passed to the Carnegie Stee] C.., the principal subsidiary of the cor- poration. “When the Union was taken over what was your share?’ “I took no shares at all,”’ * ply. “I took bonds.” — “That's a Scotch habit,” ¢ Lindabury. — Ignores Thrust at Oarnegie. “No, nut a habit,” Stevenson returned, ignoring the thrust at Carnegie. “I'd got some Wisdom by that time.

Mrs. Conradi has taken quarters close | to the parish jail, so that she will lose little of the time she is allowed to be with her husband. .The guards receive her kindly and she has always a pleas- ant smile for them. Conradi got into trouble over a con- tract with the churgh People at Gretna. He came to Lopisiana three years ago to undertake the work. A hitch tn the agreement Caused an argument between him and Father Stenmans ag to how much was due the architect. A letter to the priest brought the charges which have kept Conradi in the courts since. He was accused of de- manding certain payments of the priest and threatening to make disclosures about Father Stenmagg if the money wasn’t forthcoming. At the first trial the jury disagreed, standing, it was said at the time, eight to four for acquittal. At the second, trial, after the jurors had been out an hour, they came into court and asked the Judge if the letter was a threaten- ‘ing or a blackmail letter. The Judge said that was a fact for them to deter- mine and, after reading them the law, sent them back to their room. They returned with a verdict of guilty. When Conradi was sent to jail the last time, his wife, who had been living at their home with her sister, Miss Emma Stoehr, immediately came to New Orleans with her baby and has remained

JOSEPH G. CONRADI FORTS LEAVENWORTH AND RILEY AT WAR LEAVENWORTH, Kan., May 4#A— Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley are going to declare war on each other Aug. 18 and a great battle will be fought somewhere within the 200-mile scope of country between the army strongholds. More than 10,000 men will be engaged, including regulars from the two forts mentioned, those recruited from other Western forts and the militia of Kan- gas, Missouri and Oklahoma, The first plan for summer maneuvers was for Fort Riley only, and then th2 scope of the play battle was enlarged to test marching and camping outfits, and Fort Leavenworth was drawn into it. Col. Cornmman, commandant at Fort Leavenworth, says: ee. ‘We are hoping that the maneuvers will be as extensive as possible, Mod-, ern warfare means long marching and wide range maneuvering. We could work to better advantage if the date came after the harvest time. Persuad- ing farmers to permit great bodies of , l a Be soldiers to move over their fields is a . pies co greater problem in strategy than the : war game.

For Nervous People It is never too late to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for nervous troubles. You can be certain that a breakdown or exhaus- tion of your nerves is due to a lack of nourishment caused by thin or impure blood. The starved nerves break down after any unusual strain. This condition is easily remedied with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They start at once to build up the blood, making it richer and purer with every dose, thereby checking further wear on the nerves and the progress of the disease. The new blood makes’ the nerves more fit every day to do their work. The thoroughness with ,which Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People act is seen in the clear complexion, better appetite, improved digestion, gain in weight and the freedom from restlessness, sleeplessness, irritability and headaches. Mrs. Wm. C. Hull, of No. 4912 Melrose avenue, Fruitville, Cal., says: “After a severe attack of the grip a few years ago, I began to suffer from nervous prostration. For three years I was a nervous wreck and was confined to bed during all of that time. It is hard to describe my suffering. I was completely exhausted and had no strength. I felt as though I would never get well. I could not get much sleep and would cry a great deal. When friends called on me I could brace up only for a short time when I would collapse. I was living in Gilroy and was treated by three doctors. They gave me only temporary relief and said I was suffer- ing with nervous prostration.

1VIC LEAGUE COMMITTEE REPORTS ON 2 PROPOSED TAXATION AMENDMENTS|

‘State Tax. Commission — Single Tax “Merits Discussed—F. N. Judson and A, A. Young Prepare the Report.

The Municipal Finance and Taxation Committee of the Civic League has ‘made its report on two constitutional amendments to be submitted to the vot- _@8 of Missouri at the November elec- fon. One amendment provides for the weation of a special tax commission to exercise the powers of the present State Board of Equalization, and the other amendment provides for the adoption of the single tax, which is a tax on land only, with franchises included. The committee strongly recomends the adopiton of the amendment providing for the special tax commission, and while not recommending outright the adoption of the single tax amendment, declares that the principle of single tax is preferable to Missouri’s existing im- perfect system of taxation. The single tax on land and franchises would remove the sources of all. but Een” A Physician's Report on ss Medicine evera pose a old. on chow may faith in it,” (Original of physician's letter on file.) kman’s Alterative is effective in other forms.

universal tax evasion, the report de- | clares. The evasion of taxation by fail- ure to list property has created a school for perjury, demoralized the people and bred class hostility, the committee says. The report was indorsed unanimously by the comrhittee, comprised of Harry B. Wallace, chairman; Gouverneur Cal- houn, John H. Holiday, F. N. Judson, S. Moser and A. A. Young. ‘The report was prepared by Attorney F. N. Judson and Prof. A. A. Young of Washington University, experts on the subject of taxation. Here is the report in full: Report of Committee. Each of the two constitutional amend- ments which have been submitted by the Equitable Taxation League under the initiative and which are to be voted upon at the general election in Novem- ber, 1912, deserves separate considera- tion. One amendment proposes a fundamen- tal change in the basis of taxation; the other proposes a reform in the adminis- tration of the tax system. While the first amendment may be said to be partly dependent on the second, in the sense that the adoption of the second amendment would make possible the more perfect working of the scheme of taxation proposed in the first, the de- sirability of the second amendment in itself is in no manner dependent upon the adoption of any particular system of taxation. ..It is best, therefore, to take up the consideration of the two proposals in’ inverse order. The Proposed Permanent State Tax * \Commiasion. | =’ 1, The second amendment provides for a permanent Tax Commission of three members, appointed by the Gov- ernor, each for a term of four years. Such commissions already exist in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Onio, ad j Kansas and Arkansas and in a number of states in the East and on the Pa-

| cific Coast..In certain other states there are Tax Commissioners of caret powers. To Replace Present Board of Equali- sation. 2.The proposed commission would succeed to the duties of the present State Board of Equalization, composed of five States officers. In this capacity it would for purposes of the State tax equalize the assessments determined by the local assessors and the county boards of equalization. While this would affect only that relatively small portion of the total taxes which goes for State rather than local purposes, the most elementary considerations of justice demand that it be done fairly and efficiently. It is, moreover, work that will have to be done so long as the State continues to derive any reve- nue from taxes on property assessed for taxation by local officers. In those states which have had experience with both methods of equalization the verdict is unanimous that the work can be done more efficiently by a permanent commission of experts than by any ex- officio board. Similar considerations hold with even greater force with re- gard to the difficult and important work of assessing the properties of railroads, telegraph, telephone and express com- panies within the State—another func- tion of the present State Board of Equalization. To Improve Local Taxation. 3. Many of the evils of our present tax situation spring from the utter fail- ure to maintain even reasonably effi- éient standards in the local assessment of property subject to taxation. This failure is pdrtly because of the inherent difficulties in valuing or even uncover- ingcertain classes of property that are taxable under our present laws, but it is also due in not small. measure: to the fact that this important work, calling for skill and training, and often for technical knowledge, is entrusted, to un- trained local assessors. The experience of other states, especially of Wisconsin, shows that much improvement in the work of local assessment can be achieved through a permanent tax com- mission vested with supervisory powers. To Investigate and Report on Im- proved Methods. ' 4. Another function which would natu-

To Intending Purchasers of rally be attached to such a commission is that of keeping abreast with the. best thought and the best practice in mat- ters of taxation, of studying the taxa- tion experience of other states and oth- er countries, of analyzing the operation and effect of the Missouri tax system, of submitting reports embodying their findings and of making recommendations based upon such findings. Missouri has had two special tax commissions which have carried on such investigations and dave made valuable reports, but such work could be done more systematically oe effectively by a permanent commis- sion. gations and discussions of American tax problems are to be found in the reports }; of permanent state tax commissions. The Proposed Single Tax Upon Land and Franchise Values. 1. The first of the two amendments proposes @ revolutionary change in the tax systeins of the state and city. In place of our present complicated sys- tem of taxes on all classes of property, corporation taxes and business licenses, it would substitute a tax concentrated upon one particular kind of property. The Proposed System, 2. The amendment wisely provides that this change is to be brought about grad- ually, Bonds issued by the State, or by its municipalities or other local units are to be exempted from taxation at once. This is a reform which is s0 im- peratively demanded by the highest con- siderations of public policy that it should be secured. at the earliest : practicable date, whatever the fate of this amend- ment. It is a public reproach that the rebuilding of our State capitol should be embarrassed or delayed through the in- ability of our own people to hold the State. bonds issued thereon without con- fiscation of their income through tax- ation. Ate. fe All other. forms of personal property, tangible as well as:intangible, are to be exempted ‘in’ 1914, at which time poll taxes, the merchants’ and manufactur- ers’ tax and business licenses of all kinds (except those imposed under the police rather than the taxing power) also are to be swept away. In the case of; real property a differentation is made between land and improvements on*land. So far as improvements are concerned, the tax is to be reduced gradually, being levied on three-fourths of the assessed value of in 1914-and 1915; on one-haif of the assessed value in 1916 and 1917; on one-fourth the assessed value in 1918 and 1919, while thereafter improvements of all kinds are to be ex- empt. The real reduction would, how- ever, be much less gradual, because improvements to the extent of $3000 on each homestead are to be exempt, be- ginning in .1914. After the year 1919, according, land would remain as the sole object of taxa- tion, except that public utility franchises are also to be taxed, and that it is further provided that the amendment “shall not be considered as limiting or denying the power of the State to tax fany form ‘of franchise, privilege or in- — ——— — — — — © nomen pS ad ss — ae * a — — ws * —

that is, a tax levied for the privilegé ,of recording the mortgage, which is in lieu of all other taxes during the term of the mortgage. Such a tax has been suc- cessfully levied in other states, where it has proved an efficient source of rev- enue. It may also be said that a compre- hensive inheritance tax might be sub- stituted for the present collateral inher- itance tax, though it should be said that this substitution is open to thc State now without this amendment. may be provided for public purposes despite the limitation in the scope of taxation, the amendment stipulates that the assessment of property for taxation shall be at its actual value, and nul- lifies the existing constitutional limits- tions on the State and local tax rates. The Injustice of the Present System. 8. It may be said at once that the proposed amendment has the _ great merit of doing-away with an autiquated, cumbersome and inequitable system of taxation. The general property tax has been thoroughly discredited by the ex- perience of Missouri and of almost ev- ery other State in the Union. The busi- ness license tax is:a departure from every sound principle of taxation, is grossly discriminatory, and has no de- fenders among competent students of 'taxation. The poll tax is obviously un- just and has already disappeared from the statute books of many American states. The deficiencies of the general proper- ty tax are well known. In principle it runs counter to the obvious fact that different kinds of property differ in their ability to bear taxes; in practice it leads to gross discrimination between localities and between individuals, to evasions, frauds and perjury on the part of taxpayers, and, consequently, to lax standards in the tax administra- tion. The chief count in the usual indict- ment of the general property tax is its failure to reach personal property. This holds true for some very important classes of tangible personal property, but is most notable in the case of in- tangible personal property, including mortgages and other investment securi- ties. A centralized system of assess- ment, with expert assessors operating under the direction of a State tax com- mission, could undoubtedly greatly in- crease the amount of personal property returned for assessment... But.such an improvement in administration would ‘only make some of the inherent weak- nesses of the tax appear more clearly. Investment securities for the most part represent equities in properties that are already subject to the tax, and to tax both the securities and the properties leitch they represent is double taxation. Moreover, to subject securities yielding ‘a low rate of interest to the full tax ‘rate amounts to imposing an income tax of anywhere from 50 to 8 per cent, Which is nothing short of confiscation, long run, undoubtedly, such a enforced, would largely be shitt-

clever and tuneful musical com- edy, “Famous 1912 Follies,” was presented Thursday night at the Cen- tury Tl.eater for the benefit of the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund and again scored an overwhelming tri- umph on its merits. A big and brilliant audience was in at- tendance. The worthiness of the cause for which the benefit performance was given and the excellence of the Famous Follies Musical Comedy Company, com- posed of 75 talented employes of the Famous and Barr Department Store Co., combined with the appeal of the play itself to fill the house. ‘It is not necessary again.to review Mr. Koenigsberg’s play and its presen- tation in detail, remembering that a full report of its premiere production for the

benefit of the Famous and Barr Com- pany Welfare Association was made only 10 days ago. Thursday night’s perform- ance was in keeping with that of the premiere night, principals and minor players alike acquitting themselves with’ high credit. Mrs. J. D. Hamburger and Mr. Noel Poepping directed the evening's work, Mr. Poepping from the conduc- tor’s station in the orchestra. The financial report of the perform- ance will be made as soon as all tick- ets outstanding are accounted for. The total of box office receipts will show a very material addition to’ the Pure Milk ard Free Ice Fund, maintained to save the babies of the poor in the city’s tenement districts from sickness and death due. to impure milk during the summer’s heat. The great success of the benefit per- formance is due to the Famous and Barr Co. and its employes, through

H. Lloyd of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., writes us about a recent experience as follows: “A generally debilitated condition of the system, which had lasted for two months and was grow- ing worse, impressed on me the ne- cessity of using a good strengthen- ing tonic. Vinol was my choice because I had heard so much of it, and I am pleased to say it has ful- filled every recommendation. I have regained my usual strength, and other members of the family have also found Vinol very beneficial.” If you are fagged out and weak, have poor appetite, sleep badly or are in low spirits, then. you should

M. J. Kahn, Millionaire Dog Fancier, Aids People of Con- gested Districts. NEW YORK, May %—Montefiore. J. Kahn, millionaire dog fancier and part owner of the Elkwood Kennels, Long Branch, N. J., has given the Americaan Immigration and Distribution League 12,000 acres of farming land at Daven- port, N. J., valued at $2,600,000, which will be settled by people from the con- gested districts of New York City. This is considered the greatest gift ever made for such & purpose. Kahn is a second cousin of Otto H. Kahn, the banker. The league will hold the land in fee simple, he said, “unless it decides to give it outright to the set- tlers. It will be portioned 10 acres to a family, and if the families are too poor to pay transportation and: build homes, I will pay their carfare and build houses for them, taxes a 4 per cent. mort- gage.” —— erent: dente ends kan building wood on the land.

We all like pie. ; Mrs. Mathews never makes less than from nine to 12 good big pies every’ day. There is never a piece left after the first meal. A good, big baked ham just does go around at one meal. This morning for breakfast we had two dozen cocoanut rolls and four loaves of bread besides our syrup and eggs. There isn't a roll or slice of bread left. “There have been times when it has kept me pretty close to the grindstone to supply food and clothes for them, but now out of.my salary of $115 a month we. save from $40 to $50 each’ month.

Plans of promoters of a new 15-story hotel in St. Louis include the removal of the historic Tony Faust restaurant from Broadway and Elm street to Broadway and Washington avenue. For more than forty years Faust’s has been a landmark in St. Louis. It is believed by the promoters that the pres- tige of the name, which is known far and wide, would help to assure the suc- cess of the projected hotel. The proposition has been gubmitted to Adolphus Busch, head of the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association, and to E. A. kaust, vice-president of the associa- tion and most active surviving heir of Tony Faust. To Be Called Faust’s Hotel. According to the tentative plans of the projectors, the hotel would occupy the northeast corner of Broadway and Washington avenue and be known as Faust’s Hotel. The site has a frontage of 200 feet on Broadway and 167 feet on Washington avenue, extending east to the Missouri Athletic Club Building. If $1,000,000 in bonds are issued the site will be extended to take in the abutting property on Lucas avenue, the entire site covering more than three- cuarters of a city block. Another plan is to issue only $800,000 worth of bonds and exclude the Lucas avenue frontage. The Washington avenue corner, run- ning back to the alley is owned by E. Cc. Simmons, managing director of the Simmons Hardware Co... It has a front- age of 67 feet and a depth of 87 feet. Forty-nine feet of the remaining Wash- ington avenue frontage is owned by the S. M. Dodd estate and about 50 feet is held by nonresidents. The Lucas av- enue frontage is owned by the Hartman and Stephens estates, It is estimated that the promoting company will pay a rental of $63,000 a year for the site, exclusive of the Lucas avenue frontage and that Simmons’ rental income from his holdings will be $24,000 a year. : The Weisels-Gerhart Realty Co. is agent for the promoters of the deal. Henry R. Weisels of the company said Friday that the proposition had been submitted to the St. Louis Cater- ing Co. and favorable action on it was chant, he said, would take $50,000 of the stock and other merchants in that neighborhood were subscribing liberally for the stock, probable. One Washington avenue mer- | WEST END TO CHECK CRIME

Officer Quinn Holds Parents Are Respo Boy Gangs When They Send Ch to Play to Get Rid of Them.

Well-to-do mothers in the fashionable homes of the West End send their chil- dren out to play, to be rid of them when company comes, and many men and women of fashion have many “nerves” that they don’t like to hear the shouts of children at play near their homes. These conditions make play- grounds to check juvenile delinquency as badly needed in the West End as they are in the congested districts of the East End, according to John B. Quinn, chief attendance officer of the Board of Education. He outlined his ex- periences and views to a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday. When several women of Mrs. West- parkmore’s set come in for an afternoon at 500, as Quinn sees the situation, Mrs. Westparxmore calls to her son, Gerald, and her daughter, Frances, ‘and ‘tells them to run out and play so the guests won't be annoyed. So Gerald and Frances get away, out of sight and mind, into a crowd where they are Jerry and Fannie. Unsuper- vised and unrestrained, there is no tell- ing what mischief. they will get into, Quinn says his experience has taught him. Directly to this sort of thing, the attendance officer believes, can be traced a number of juvenile delinquen- cies, with the attendant misery in the homes. Cites Parents’ Indifference, “These conditions are much worse than many people suppose,”’ Quinn add- ed. ‘‘But our experiences show that the indifference and indulgence of parents, especially among the comparatively well-to-do, are responaibie for a great deal of juvenile delinquency. What the children of the West End need is the advantage of properly supervised play- grounds such as we have in the con- .gested districts. ‘Play and companionship are neces- sary parts of every boy’s life. Very often a man whose own son might play on a well-kept lawn will not allow the boy to have a lot of other fellows there, to romp around and tear up the sod. But SO SD ‘ even if he does, there are the neigh- bors. noise. Pretty soon the neighbors call a policeman and the lads are ordered to disperse. ‘“‘What happens then? The boys must play. They go to some place where they can play. Thus they get out of the supervision of the parents. This keeps up, and in a little while there is a gang. As every one experienced in juvenile delinquency well knows, the greatest cause of youthful crime is the gang. “It is hard to say how many boys go astray in the fashionable districts through this very reason. But they are many. It is not right that a young boy should be turned out on the streets to come in contact with nobody knows what influences. Mnen a lot of them get to idling to- gether they begin to think of.a lot of improper things they'd like to do. ‘They neeca money for their pleasures. They get. it the best way they can and rigat there is where there comes c grave dan- ger of starting into a crime career. Some West End Gangs the Worst. “Some of the worst vanes we have had to contend against have been made of sons of well-to-do West End families whose parents never dreamed of what the boys were doing. It was one of these gangs which wantonly pillaged the model playgrounds in Forest Park some time ago. “These boys ought to have play- grounds elose to their homes. I believe that Park Commissioner Davis’ plans for, recreation fields in Forest Fark will help. But this should be supplemented with smaller playgrounds’ scattered through the residence section.’’ Quinn reviewed the many years of to break up the boy gangs in the city and pointed out that where, a few years ago, there was a gang of some kind in almost every scction of the city,

porter that he had heard of the proposi- tion to turn the operation of the hotel over to the St. Louis Catering Co., in which members of the Busch and Faust families are heavily interested. “Faust’s no longer exists as a corpor- ation,” he said. ‘“‘The Catering company is the proprietor of the name “Faust”’ and may ‘use it as it sees fit. It would have the power to transfer the name and the’ business to the new hotel, but

so far as I know the proposition has never been officially considered by the Catering company. “It looks a big undertaking for the company, especially in view of the ill- ness of my brother, Tony, who would have been the one man who could have made a success of such an enterprise. “Sti, the directors of the company may approve the suggestion made by

the prumoters.’”’

A How many of the Republicans who did not vote at the primaries, because of an indifference as marked towards him as toward Taft, would vote against him in November? Added to these how mapy of those who gupported-Taft would wreak vengeance on Roosevelt? These questions apply to every other state in which there has been a spirited primary. They emphasize ,the depth of the Republican party split and the gravity of its case-together with the great Democratic opportunity in several of the principal states which a united Republican party would confidently regard as its own ter ritory beyond dispute. New York, Massachusetts, Indjana and Michigan, and in less degree Illinois and Pennsylvania, present these indicated condi- tions. Iowa and Wisconsin present acute antag- onism to Roosevelt on the one hand, and Demo- cratic opportunity on the other. Big Business appears openly for Roosevelt, - Its conspicuous presence in his camp will temper popular enthusiasm. The source of millions of campaign funds is likely to be more of an issue this year than ever before. The fact of Roose- velt's connection is bound to be more distinctly erally be attracted by bait supplied by Big Busi- ness? Roosevelt’s relations to Perkins, Gary, Hanna et al, and his attitude to the people are anomalous and in their nature repellant. For this reason we do not believe he would attract a great many votes from Democrats or from original and genuine insurgents in rebellion, against the standards which he represents no less surely than President Taft. How enduring is the temper of Taft Repub- licans whom Roosevelt has antagonized is the most interesting speculation in this connection.

A remedy for some of the grosser evils of the divorce system is ordained by the Missouri Su- preme Court in @ decision wiping out the prece- dents of many years. It holds that our drastic atatute giving finality to divorce orders unless appeal is taken within 60 days shall not be per- mitted to give success to fraud. Trickery and im- position may therefore be penalized in such pro- eeeding without reference to lapse of time, the only condition being that aggrieved persons must act promptly on discovery of the fraud. The effect on property rights and on those in- nocently married to fraudulently divorced per- sons may work great hardship in many cases, but there is no doubt of the substantial justice of the decision, in which the entire court participated.

Anti-Parcels Post -Argument. To the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. I hope the Goeke bill, which provides: for the United States Government running the express business and carrying all parcels, will not pass, I ysed to be an advocate of the parcels post, but last November I sent a package by registered letter, On arrival it was found the contents had been abstracted. I put in a claim, and ever since the postoffice has been promising to investigate it, Up to this time they have made no progress, though a private concern would have long since settled it one way or another. I have no recourse and don’t expect to get anything. The registration was a faree; indeed, it simply ealled attention of the thieves to the package, which without reg- istration might have been untouched. As one can’t sue the Government, I am now sending pack- ages by the express company, which I can sue and against which I could probably get a verdict. I am for Government service if it is as good as private or corporation service; otherwise not, W. Canine Dullabies. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Is there still such an institution as the dog- catchers in this burg? If so, I have failed to no- tice them this year around our neighborhood, I am living ow Alabama avenue, near Bates street, and the number of unlicensed dogs in this locality is simply legion. Can’t you induce this some- what remigs department to give this neighbor- hood an occasional call and deliver us of some of these night howling pests? It’s simply hid- eous!

I have come to the conclusion that it is up to the bricklayers’ wives, mothers, sisters and sweet- hearts to get together into an organigation, and having done so they might be-able to give thar would-be superiors a few. pointers on the valde) of unionism.

To the Editor of the Post-Digpatch. There are three very important reasons why the six-year term law for Presidents should not be passed. The first is: the people from deciding President. : . Second: The people should have the power to change their government policy every four years in case they find it necessary, Third: It,would permit dishonest and incapable Presidents to-remain in office six years, and en- danger the country, The people should never allow Congress to take away their right to vote for the man they want, It is unconestitutional and dangerous. If those members of Congress mentioned really feared the patronage of Presidents they would pass a law against consecutive terms, which would abolish it, The people should never consent to the law they ae asi CONSERVATIVE.

CRUISER DWARFS DREADNAUGHT From the Washington Post. Heralded as the biggest and most pow- erful warship ever launched, the super- dreadnaught Texas, 27,000 tons displace- ment, was given her baptism Saturday. A proud achievement indeed for the American Navy to have outstripped all others in size and gun power. But our glory was short-lived. For just a few hours before the Texas took the water with such eclat the ubiquitous Japs had launched a battle cruiser larger than the Texas by 500 tons, throwing about the same weight of meta! at a broad- side, and 7 knots an hour faster than the Yankee battleship. The Texas’ chief point of superiority over the Jap battle cruiser lies in her heavier armor, Then, too, the Texas carries 10 14-inch guns to the other’s eight, but this advantage is largely offset by the Jap’s heavy secondary battery of 16 6-inch guhs, the Texas having the same number of 5-inoh guns. — r⸗ TEDDY.

We have come around to see what you think Socrates: @ That is very sweet of you, Glaucon. I don’t think anything | ™ of it. Polemarchug; everybody has approved of it. Socrates: I don’t see how you can say that, Socrates. Almost I know. That is because almost everybody spoke hurriedly, | * as if it were something that did not require any time for thought. The chief objection to the present law is that a President is sometimes renom- inated by his appointees, rather than by the people. Glaucon: Yes. Socrates: But if we have popular primaries in all the states, as we shall before another campaign comes around, the efficiency of the Federal machine will have been destroyed. Glaucon: I am not so sure. Socrates: Well, was it or was it not destroyed in Ohio, California, Tilinois, and some of the other states which have had popular primaries? Glaucon: You are right, Socrates; Bo that, if we are to have popular primaries, which are now a certainty, a President cannot renominate himself if, as Taftius has done, he has opposed the people and they do not want him renominated? Glaucon: No, he cannot. Socrates: Very well. long has Taftius been President? Glaucon: Three years, Socrates: Now let us consider the six-year term. How So. How would you like to have him be President three years more without any means of removing him? Glaucon: That would be bad. Socrates: Moreover, what if a President were disposed to be an insuf- ferable tyrant, ag taen sometimes are? What a dose of it we would have thoughtlessly mixe@ for ourselves! Glaucon: True, Socrates: This, then, is the philosophy of the matter: The chance a second term will always cause a President to seek to deserve that honor, and will therefore make him a better President. The danger of any Presi- en dent renominating himself with a Federal machine is now happily removed by the voting primary. The prospect of being unable to get rid of a bad Président for six long years is intolerable. Thrasymachus: By Jove! Socrates, that is the philosophy of it. ~*~ Socrates: Good.

Bud demanded to }i.ow to whom his family was inde'ted for this unlooked for piece of « ciierosity. My agent told him that’ t'ese mort- gages had become very valuable, and that his company had been authorized to secure as many of them as possible and to reduce the interest on them to 4 per cent. Satisfied that the matter was a business transaction. Bud left for the Pines again, and, I had reason to believe, with a lighter heart. Lost in the background and con- gratulating myself on the success of my scheme, I wandered into the West. The face of Ellen was ever before me. Night and day, the picture of her, clad in a simple gingham frock, her sleeves rolled up, and her hand pointing in the Gireection of the old memorial bridge, was ever in my mind. Several times I tried to resume my writing, but my pen seemed to drop from my fingers or else my mind refused to respond to my will. In dejection of spirit my head would fall on my arms and I would sit for hours dreaming of the Pines and Miss Ellen. In my apathy I journeyed to Japan, and for a while life seemed brighter in that mosaic looking country, but go where I would there was ever recurring to my thoughts the picture of Miss Ellen, and my heart would swell and tears rush unbidden to my eyes as I remembered our parting. There was talk of war between my country and Spain, but this interested me little; I seemed to have lost my sense of the proportions of things. Re- solved at last to take up the thread of my life again and begin anew, I start for the states. Almost the first thing T will be a great day for the wom- en when Congress reduces the high cost of living by making money cheaper,” ‘said Mr. Jarr, looking .. from his evening paper. ‘-. will be a great day for . women makes’ money ‘more prevalent,’’ ‘replied Mrs. Jarr. ‘“‘No mat- ter how cheap money was, what good would it do. one if one hadn't the mon- ey to buy it?’ — Vm speaking about the proposition to coin half-cents and also 3-cent pieces,” explained Mr. Jarr. “That’s very kind, I’m sure; but what good would half-cent pieces do any- body?" g&ked Mrs. Jarr. “It is hard enough to get a few pennies together now. And, even if it were only half as hard to get half-pennies, one would only have half as many pennies after one got them.” Mr. Jarr wince, “Gee whiz! old lady!” he cried. ‘‘‘I wish you wouldn’t use that impersonal pronoun ‘one.’ It sounds as though one—there I go—were putting on airs.” “It’s correct English,” said Mrs. Jarr. Be “It’s English, all right,’’ said Mr. Jarr. | “And that reminds me of what Wilton Lackaye said about it.”

Seeing Mrs. Jarr was all attention, Mr. Jarr proceeded: ‘Wilton Lackaye was English actor why he preferred Amer- ican whisky rather than Scotch. ‘Don’t you know,’ said the Englishman, “‘that when one drinks Scotch one never gets a head, as one does when he drinks to fumble, you sometimes have to get your handbag open first. Then you take out your pocketbook and open it and then get your coin purse out of thar. Sometimes when you see you have your coin purse out first, in spite of ever;- thing you've done to be last, you can drop it or spill some of the coins. An.1 while you are picking them up somc- body else has paid the fares. Mrs. Rar.- gle- had a handbag with a’ clasp that used to get out of order if you touch=1 it a certain way, and she never pai: fares for one whole winter that we wert downtown shopping together. That's why I gave her a handbag as a Christ- mas present. If you noticed the one{cieam soda. I gave her had those little ball clasps that come open with a twist of your thumb and finger. She had no excuse not to pay fares when she had that handbag.

ERYSIPELAS F OLLOWS Seven Physicians Finally Agree on Case Which for a Time Seemed a Mystery. For two weeks residents of Webster Groves have been worried’ over what appeared to be a mystery in the cause c the illness of Mrs. Serge Haiman, wie of t'.e sales manager of the Aeo- li- . Co., 1004 Olive street, who was bit- ten on the arm by a gnat. The arm be- gan to swell a short time after. Seven physicians have been called in and have finally agreed that it is a case of erysip- elas. The rumor got around, however, that poison from the gnat caused the trouble. Dr. W. R. North, physician in charge, explained Friday that the ° erysipelas probably started in the abrasion of .the skin caused by the gnat’s bite, but that the attack of the disease was merely cotucident with the bite. Mrs. Halman fs etill in a critical con- dition, although her physicians report a sight change for the better.

Thormahien, a chief engineer in the navy, lately in charge of the transport Supply, obtained a divorce today, upon written confession of Dr. Jasper V. Howard, an assistant surgeon of the same ship. “We were in the port of Nagasaki, on the supply ship, which is one of the few ships of the active service where we were allowed to take our wives and families,” Thormahlen testified. “My wife Was with me as a passenger, and as I had been suspicious I watched her carefully. We occupied separate rooms. I pretended to be asleep when Dr. How- ard looked into my room, and in a short while I got up, took a revolver and went to my wife’s room.

| Angeles, STRIKERS UPSET CARS, SET FIRE 10 BUDAPEST PLANTS Men Disobeying Leaders, Renew Revolver Battles With Police and Soldiers. BOYS WOUND SOLDIERS

Six Dead, 160 Wounded and 200 Arrested as Result of First Day’s Fighting.

By Associated Press. UDAPEST, May 24.—Fierce fighting has broken out again in the streets of this city between the strikers and the police, who are aided by a large force of troops. A large mob of men disobeyed their leaders’ orders to return to work, and today began again the wrecking tactics employed yesterday. The infuriated men first overturned @ number of street cars and then demol- ished display windows of stores on the principal streets. They attacked the Calvary Church, afterward proceeding to Neuschloss, where they set fire to a factory, feed- ing the flames with petroleum. The rioters beat off the firemen. Troops appeared and that was the sig- nal for several volleys of revolver shots and stones, to which the soldiers replied with volleys from their rifles. Rioters and troops suffered heavily. At one factory a lively battle occurred between strikers and nonstrikers. Re- volvers were used freely and many were wounded. The amended of casualties in yes- terday’s fighting shows that six were seriously. The police made upwards of 200 arrests. The fighting was conducted with the greatest bitterness, crowds of men rush- ing at the soldiers and endeavoring to tear the bayonets from the rifles. In all parts of the city tram cars, au- tomobiles and cabs have been damaged or set on. fire. A bomb was thrown against the custom. house, but caused small damage. In the encounter between the police, the infantry and strikers, the last named used bricks, hammers and clubs for the most part, but frequently the strikers concealed in houses or behind barri- cades fired revolvers at the policemen. The large number of schoolboys armed with revolvers aided the strikers. Their shooting brought down several cavalry- men.

Allen last night, so it became known today, was let out of his cell at the city hall and was taken under guard to St. Clement’s Protestant Episcopal Church, where he was bap- tized into the faith by the rector, the Rev. Charles Hutchinson. The ceremony was witnessed by Miss Sarah G. Tompkins, daughter of the Rev. Floyd Tompkins, rector of Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church. Miss Tompkins converted the pris- oner, After the baptism the party went to Dr, Tompkin’s home where a dinner was served. At its con- clusion Allen was taken back to his cell. Miss Ada Clark, daughter wealthy California ranchman, who accompanied Allen to Philadelphia, told the police, they say, that she would stick to the prisoner and mar- ry him when he and his wife were divorced.

One True Medicinal Whiskey Beware of imitations and substitutes unscrupulous dealers tell you are ‘‘just as good” as Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey Some dealers may try to convince you that there is something ‘‘inst as good’’ as Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Pay no attention to their claims, they are imposing on your confidence. Substitutes Are Dangerous It is the well-known purity and merit of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whis- key that has caused the manufacture of inferior and unreliable imitations. It is the natural result of more than half a century’s good reputation for purity and well doing behind Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, which has been used by the Medical Profession, Hospitals, Sanitariums and in the home all these years with wonderful results. Duffy's is an absolutely pure distillation of selected clean grain thor- oughly malted. Its palatability and its freedom from injurious substances render it so that it ean be retained by the most sen- sitive stomach. It has been used with remarkable results in the treatment of pneumonia, grip, coughs, colds, malaria, low fev- ers, stomach troubles and all wasted and diseased conditions. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is the only whiskey that was taxed by the government as a medicine during the Spanish-American war. The genuine Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is sold in sealed bottles only.

SHARPE. eree for the St. Louis, A. C., and the Post-Dispatch Boxing Authority. 54 AY BRONSON of Indianapolis, claimant of the welterweight championship, — met with a surprise Thursday night when he fought against Harry Brewer of Kansas City before 3000 members of the ry Louls Athletic | Club that he probably will long remember. His claim to the welterweight title almost went aglimmering as early as first round of his passage-at-arms with Brewer. In this period he was knocked down four times, twice taking the count of nine. Just before the gong | he was sent backwards ropes and would have gone had it not been for friendly hands extended him by those seated at the ringside. went to his corner he was much the worse for wear, though he took his punishment with a smile— one, however, that did not carry convic- tion. This probably is one of his char- acteristics and is a bit deceiving until understood. When the round started, Bronson ap- peared confident: and even careless. He began by jabbing his left straight to Brewer's face, but with little force be- hind his blows. He made little or no attempt to block his opponent’s return, and it was in one of these unguarded moments that Brewer shot in a right uppercut to Bronson’s chin and the In- @ianapolis boxer was lifted off his feet and went to the canvas. He took his time about getting up, and when he did, Brewer waded in and soon had Bronson down again from a similar blow that was just as hard as the first one. Brewer tried hard to put him away for the full count, but the Indiana boxer gamely stuck it out and lasted through the round. Bronson was weak from the punish- ment he had received in the first round, and in the second r@sorted to clinching and had to be cautioned for hitting while holding. He stopped long enough to apologize for this infraction of the rules and offered his hand to Brewer as a token of his acknowledgment. Brewer went to his work in serious fashion and tried to finish the job he had started WHAT SHARPE SAYS OF COLISEUM BOUTS Harry Brewer vs. Ray Bronson, eight rounds at 142 pounds—Brewer the winner on points. Harry Wade vs. Benny McGov- ern, six rounds at catch weights— draw. “Battling” Kelly vs. Harry Ockel, six. rounds at 140 pounds—Ockel outclassed and bout stopped in third round. in the first, and while he outboxed Bron fon in this session, he was unable to again land effectively upon his how more cautious opponent. Bronson was making a great ef- fort to recuperate his lost strength and tried to discourage Brewer by doing much laughing and some talking. Irn the third round Brewer continued to outbox Bronson and had the latter swinging wild, but as Bronson began to show signs of returning strength Brewer became more careful, as the chance for a knockout had disappeared, That Brewer still had strength in reserve, however, was shown in a rapid exchange toward the close of the round, when he forced Bronson to break ground and had much the better of it. The early part of round four belonged to Brewer, who continued to out-box the In- dianapolis man, but Bronson had now com- pletely recovered his strength and he sud- denly waded into Brewer regardless of con- sequences, and succeeded in landing a hard right. to the jaw that staggered Brewer and forced him to cover. This was followed by a. rapid exchange of blows to the body, with the men standing shoulder to shoulder. and Bronson had slightly the better of it. Bron- son followed up his advantage in the next round, and this was his by a wide margin. He appeared much stronger than Brewer at this time, and once he landed an over-hand swing to the jaw that made Brewer’s knees give way and he narrowly hg going down. Kansas City Boxer Showed Best . at Long Range Style of Milling T long range boxing Brewer seemed _ @asily the best. and in the sixth round he not only outboxed Bronson, but fm the early part of the round he landed “geven consecutive left jabs without a re- turn.

At sparring, McGovern looked the best. but in the work at close range he was outslugged by Wade, par- ticularly in the last round of their six- round bout. If Wade will get over his bad habit of holding he will show to better advantage, and there are few boys around here, if any, that can beat him at his weight. McGovern appeared to have an advantage of at least four or five rounds. “Battling” Kelley, boxing Harry Ocke} at 140 pounds in the preliminary, so far outclassed his opponent that their bout was stopped in the third round. keen eye and good habits, ED KONEY, STAR ELSEWHERE, WINS NO PRAISE HERE “Big Train” Is Most Valuable First Baseman in Game, This Year. By W. J. O'CONNOR. “Why is it,” asks a Cincinnati base- ball writer who is here with O’Day’s team, ‘“‘that the St. Louis fans have failed to appreciate the playing of Ed Koney? Why, I think Ed is the great- est first baseman in the game today; but the St. Louis folks don’t seem to go wild about him.” There’s a question for you. Why don’t the fans take more kindly to the play- ing of the “Big Train,’ the most con- scientious workman in the local camp? There’s no answer. There’s no con- ceivable reason why Koney’s photo shouldn't be plastered. over the front wall of the Hall of Fame. There’s no reason why Koney shouldn't be boost- ed above Chase, Hoblitzell, Daubert, Stovall and all others. But he isn’t. Koney, Thursday, got his fiftieth hit. He’s the first man in either league to reach the half-century mark in swat- ting. He’s the only member of Bresna- han’s band who hasn’t missed a game this season. In five years that he has been with the Cardinal club he has lost only five days. He’s in there.day in and. day out. He led the first basemen last season in fielding. He finished second to the Peerless Chance the previous “year. Koney the Better Fielder. Two first sackers, Daubert and Luderus, excelled him in hitting last season, but Koney shaded them so far in fielding that there is no room for comparison. Yet the fans in St. Louis are slow to appreciate Koney. They refuse to condone his mis- takes, which are few. But any time Koney [sens make a break, there are those who make apital of it. The truth is Koney has no superior in the Big Leagues as a first sacking gent. His hitting has been sensational this season, He’s up near the top of the ladder at this date and he shows no sign of falling down, Big Ed has changed his style of hitting and he has the opposing fielders afraid of him. Time was when all he could see was the fence.» When he went to bat the oppo- sition moved its outer defense to the far walls. The fily-chaser usually trapped Koney’s clouts. Afraid of Koney’s Drives. But this season Koney is hitting through the infield for singles. They’re afraid to play close in lest they be hurt and this fact was emphasized by a play Koney pulled Thursday. Over in Cincinnati when the Cards played their first series there, Koney all but killed young Art Phelan with a line drive, when Phelan played in to break up Koney’s at- tempted sacrifice. Consequently Phelan is a little shy of Koney. In the fourth inning of Thursday’s con- flict Koney was the first hitter. was playing a deep third. -Koney bunted and was on first before Phelan put his glove to the ball. That bunt started the Cards on a rally which netted four runs. Koney has failed to break into the hit column in only four of the Cardinals’ 34 games to date. He has hit safe in 30 96 cop A or batting average Friday is well nigh . As F — he needs no introduction. | He’s always hustling, and he stops many a wild heave. ‘Tia the fact that the other infielders have supreme confidence in Koney which makes them better as in- *““‘nobody to throw at,” and their showing in the league races proved it. Another thing about Koney: He takes all the relays from. all the fields,. If there is a long liner to center, Big Eda takes Oakes’ throw and shoots it to the plate if the occasion demands, He’s pos- seesed of a wonderful arm, strong logs, a Why not give him his dues?

In the past the Bronson propaganda was only issued daily.

Bronson will have to turn a few tricks before St. Louis box- | ing enthusiasts will believe he can beat Brewer, McFarland, Gibbons, Burns, the “Dixie Kid’’ and other eligibles— especially Brewer. * * * . A MISAPPROPRIATION, RONSON’S ®lmost generally accepted claim to the title was a clever piece of outright appropriation. In ‘the ‘shuffle, while heavy welterweights were trying to slip into the middleweight class and ligh* welters were skimping to hold down to the lightweight division, Bronson, an overgrown lightweight, quietly stole into the throne room and filched the crown. He beat no one for it, but, thanks to a splendid press agenting back of him. he became almost recognized ag the title holder. But now, for the time, the paper cham- pion is punctured. Brewer has better than an even chance with Bronson over any dis- tance, to judge from Thursday’s mill. What will happen to Bronson’s reputation after next Wednesday night is still another matter to worry his friends, On that occa- sion Bronson meets Packey McFarland, clev- erest of the clever. It will not add any to Bronson’s confidence that he received the little reminder from Brewer here. * « IS BAN REALLY BOSS? HO runs the League, Ban Johnson or Charles Comiskey? Ban Johnson sus- pended Ty Cobb; but it was Comiskey whe aprounced Cobb’s reinstatement for tomor- row, when the Tigers play the first game of a series with the White Sox at Chicago. * * * "Tis a nice little advertising tidbit Com- iskey gave out and will probably assist in swelling the attendance at the White Sox park. It is likewise a bit of information that only special privileges could have ob- tained for Comiskey before the owners and manager of the player were themselves ac- quainted with the fact. »Tis not the first time the forefinger of the Old Roman has dabbled in the Johnson pie. * * * JACK JOHNSON WORRIED. OHN ARTHUR JOHNSON is waxing worried. He is fearful that * has not given himself sufficient time in! which to fit himself for his bout with Flynn, and he has changed his plans. He will jump from Chicago to Las Vegas Saturday with a retinue of trainers and camp followers, He will finish preparations for the Flynn affair on a ranch about seven miles out of the New Mexico town. — 7 Johnson’s fear as to his condition is a sudden outbreak, following his announcement of only two weeks ago that he was in bet- ter shape for Fiynn, at the same relative distance from the fight date, than for Jef- fries; and that he would have no trouble conditioning himself to his highest pitch of efficiency. e + ⸗ TWO YEARS’ RUST TO REMOVE, Johnson knows better than that. He has not fought for two years and will have a world of rustiness to polish away ere he is back in championship form. The big smoke will have to be tuned up all over again both physically and scientifically. A month of constant boxing will be little enough to put a keen edge on his judgment of dis- tance, foot work and timing. Not the mere knowledge how to do a thing, but the ability to execute as well, enter into the question of a boxer’s efficiency. — the WorldOver| RX OK 8 B 8 8 > 7 * “x AX) . * ¢ ** +e SUIT o ORDER peated 1 An Extra Pair of Trousers 605N.

QVER FAILURE OF PITGHING STAFF — Fs sal and Plank Show Nothing Like Their Form of 1911. By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 24.—After hav- ing met and played every team in the American League race, the majority of the Brownies are of the opinion that the Yeal fight will simmer down to a battle at the windup between the Athletics of Philadelphia, the present blue ribbon- ers of the baseball world, and the Red Sox of Boston. } Right now the Athletics are not mixed in the heat of the battle, because C, Mack’s pitchers, for the most part, bave failed him. There was a bit of ‘pleasure to Mack and the Athletics’ fol- lowers yesterday in watching Chief Charles Albert Bender, the redskin right-hander, who has been the main- stay of the staff for years, defeat the Brownies. Bender did not look right, but he showed that he is coming round. Riis smoke wasn’t as smoky as it will be later, but his change of pace was excellent. Red Sox Seem Best. But according to the Browns, the Red Sox showed better than the Athletics. That Was not only because the Red Sox made a clean sweep of the four games played against Wallace's tribe, but because they played better baseball. The members of the Browns contend that McAleer’s team ig a better allround machine than that of the Mackites. The outfield, especially, is superior, Then the infield, save at second base, is going like a house afire, Up to the Flingers. It is up to the Boston pitchers to land that team on top. The hitters and flelders are there, and if the twirlers do their share, the pennant may fly at “Faraway” Park next October. The White Sox of Chicago are out in front now, and have a big lead in John- gon's league, but with one or two excep- tions, the Brownies do not take this team seriously. That is, they believe that the Sox will continue out in front for awhile, but as soon as the pitchers of the other ‘teams get down to their real stride, the Raths, Weavers and Zeiders wil] not pum- mel the pill as they have done to date. Connie Mack Worried. According to a couple of Philadelphia scribes who are in the know, Mack is slightly disturbed over his twirling staff. It was only in the games against the Browns that Jawn Coombs and Bender showed good stuff, and Coombs was far from the Coombs that twirled against the New York Giants last fall. He was hit hard, but was fortunate in having the ‘breaks land hig way, and he went over. ' Then the aged Plank showed that he is not ready when he Was pounded from the box by the men of Wallace. Any time that Piank can’t hold the Browns to one or two rubs, be is not. ready. * at Some Team Yet, te ofk Yankees and the Washing- ¥ ‘ton —— are going to finish below the te hear the Brownies tell it.

Ketter worked in the last four rounds, one base being pilfered off him. He stands well at the plate, but has to cock his arm before making a pee. This may prove a handicap.

: Sal’s Steadiness — Cards at End of a Rip-Roaring Comedy

May it never happen again! May noth- ing even like it ever be staged on a local lot. The convalescent Cardinafs made six errors of commission, many more of omis- sion, their pitcher, Bill Steele, was knocked into a cocked hat, and yet they won, l1l—10, from the retrograding Reds. Shades of Jawn McCloskey, can you be- lieve it? There was one scintillating feature to this mad, mediey of errors. That was the pitching of Harry Ebenezer Sallee, the All sorts of things had hap- pened before Harry climbed the kopje in the eighth inning to quell the rioting of his fellow townsmen from Rhineland. Harry lives just outside of Cincinnati in a hamiet, which isn’t ag big as its name, Higginsport. It’s a pertinent fact that these Ohloans do not stick together. Harry had dim recollections of the support his fellow voters gave Mr. Taft. So he went them one better. He whipsawed the Reds into submission in less time than one would say Jack Robinson, Sallee appéared at a very ticklish mo- ment. Ivey Wingo’s four-base knock to the outposts in the seventh stanza had put the Cards out in front, 11—10. Gene Woodburn was on the hillock at the start of the eighth, and Gene got in bad when Hauser booted Phelan’s grounder. . Then Gene passed Esmond. With McLean up, Bresnahan C Q D’d Sallee. Harry came in with the strut of a champion. He e the savage swatting McLean lift a short fly to Ellis, after Long Larry had twice failed to sacrifice. Then Bert. Humphries popped to Koney. Next, Bescher reached first on Hauser’s second boot of the inning, and the bases were filled, It looked bad, as Marsans, the Cuban, a right-handed hitter, was up. Mareans is a pretty nifty batter, The Castilian gentleman fouled off five in a row, but Sallee kept shooting them over, and, in desperation, Marsans raised a fly to Ellis. That sealed the doom of the Rhine- landers. That the Cards should commit six egregious errors and the Reds should collect 15 hits and four bases on balls and yet lose does not speak well for the Cincinnati Sensations. However, the Cards outgamed the Reds. Roger's gang kept coming, while O’Day’s idols kept going. Sallee’s flinging in the ninth was worthy of an oil painting. He forced Severeid (not Severoid) to lift a weak fly to Ellis. He curved over the third strike on Capt. Mike! Mitchell. Then Dick Egan singled and swiped second when Magee mussed up Win- ge’s wicked peg, but Phelan finished the combat with a high hoist to Magee. And the curtain fell on an ill-played game. Arnold Hauser had an off day. It was the ‘“‘offest’’. day that Pewee ever spent. He booted no less than three rollers and all his miscues caused trouble, but it’s a safe bet that he made as many errors Thurs-, day as he will make for the next seven) games, Mike Mowrey od loose another three-base throw that all but gummed the game. How- ever, there's a legitimate excuse for Mow- rev’s bum heave this titme. Steele was pro- pelling a moist pellet. and when Mike gloved — Cubs and Colonels Swap Men.

Two runs came in on the error, whereas the side should have been retired on a double play. The fans were a bit unkind to Mowrey.

BROWNS PLAY FIRST DOUBLE BILL SATURDAY PITTSBURG. May 24. This is an off day in the schedule for the Brownies and they are to spend part of it in Cleveland. It is also an open date for the Naps, and a postponed game between these teams from the last trip would have been staged but the Naps were unable to make the long jump from Boston in time. Instead a double-header, the first of the season for the Browns, will be on the cal- endar at Somers Park, tomorrow afternoon. Single games will be played Sunday and Monday, after which the Browns return to St. Louis. The Athletics used their bats to good ad- vantage in the final game of the series against the Browns in Philadelphia yester- day. and landed on the right side of a 9-3 tally. Joe Lake and Charley Brown failed ‘to fool the worlds’ champions. Lake per- mitted the game to be frittered away in the very first round. /After Maggert was dis- posed of Joe passed Strunk. He pilfered be- cause Lake forgot to glue him to the bag. Then Collins singled. Then Baker hit af drive over Shotton’s head that netted him a triple and gave the champs two runs. J. Franklin tried for a homer, but was chopped down at the pan by inches.

History Caught and Canned Alive— How would you like to see Napolean in retreat from Moscow, or the charge of the Old Guard at Waterloo? You can’t, because those historical scenes were not canned. But your descend- ants a hundred years hence may wit- ness the inauguration of the President in 1913 and the opening of the Pan- ama Canal in 1915. A St. Louisan has set on foot a movement to catch his- tory and can it alive. Read how. — “The Coming Up of the Carpathia” This is a color-page sequel to last Sun- day’s ‘‘The Sinking of the Titanic.’’ You will want to preserve this with the other. She Was Kind fo the Lonely Old Man— And now she has half a million dol- lars, this farmer’s daughter who sells milk and eggs to fashionable folk in town. As Elbert Hubbard remarks: ‘‘Be kind—but get the money.’’ Though Dorothy didn’t expect any money for her kindness. Who Is Mr. Newlywed?— George McManus, who draws ‘‘The Newlyweds,’’ used to live in St. Louis. A man who knew him here is positive that Mr. Newlywed is a caricature likeness of Mr. McManus himself. The Funny Side continues this world- beater and other side-splitters. Circulation over 300, 000. “Robert Caldecott, St. Louis” — — That’s how Bob signed the hotel reg- ister just after his marriage to Kitty Cobb. ‘‘Just because we’re one you needn’t presume you’re the one,” pouted Kitty, and then Bob revised the signature. James Montgomery Flagg’s great serial romance in pic- tures gets delightfully amusing as it runs along. St. Louis Girls in Outdoor Dances— Many of them you may know. They were photographed in groups at the MeMillan Day exercises on Washing- ton University campus, for the Pie. ~ ture Section. See Miss Erna Perham in the Greek solo dance. A Jack London Wuman— Jack’s women, like his men, are thor. > age The one in his Klondike ry, ‘‘Siwash, ”’ in the Fiction Seo. was ‘gad to be protected by mere men people after all. Women in National ; Conventions— Fas Dis worl’ do move,” as Uncle Eph admitted. Women will sit, speak and — vote in the national party conventions next month. One of them may cast ~ the vote of her State for a Presiden: tial candidate whom many of you ” know personally. She’s his sister-im — sates aaa In Next unday Post-Dispatc May 26, 1912.
