Before she could’ make any important progress, she, had to learn to read music by the Braille system.

By close application she learned t9 read “at sight.”” She would pass her fingers over the Braille characters and then play over as much as she had real.

J. Goode Cabanne Gets Sum- mons for Disturbance in Von Versen Neighborhood.

\ As the result of a series of ex- citing happenings in the 56600-5709 block on Von Verson avenue, a jus- tice of the peace court summons has been obtained which is intended to dominating, with physical force, the other children of that neighborhood, The summons was obtained by J. Goode Cabanneé, 5646 Von Versen av- enue, who says that others in the block are back of him. It is directed against Mrs. Ferdinand H. Manger, 5720 Von Versen, who is cited t» appear before Magistrate Moore and show why she shouldn't be put under bond to keep the peace. But while Mrs. Manger is named, it is made clear by the protestants that the writ in effect is directed against her daughter, Marjorie. Sister Fights for Brother. The Mangers Wednesday refused to discuss the matter. They have let it be understood, however, that Marjorie’s actions are due to her loyalty to her 6-year-old_ brother, Harvey. It is hinted that other chil- dren in the neighborhood are fond of teasing Harvey and that, while Harvey is not able to defend himself, his sister is amply able to do his fighting for him. Mrs. Manger is the wife of the St, Louls manager of the Fred Harvey restaurants, The case was set before Justice of the Peace Moore Tuesday, but was continued. When it comes to trial the neighborhood will line up on the respective sides to the controversy. Cabanne told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that one night recentiyerke +} Eugene Dreyer of 5716 Von Versen, Monroe Price of 5644A Von Versen and E, J. Bingle of 5728 Von Versen, all went to see Magistrate Moore. Each complained his children had been beaten by Marjorie and each agreed to support any action that might be decided on. Moore told them he could do noth- ing except issue a peace citation. W. Dee Becker, an attorney, drew uD the complaint: on which the. present action is: based and Cabanne signed it. Each Has Two Children, Cabanne his two children, Olive, 7 years old, and Goode, 5. The Mangers have the two children, Marjorie and Harvey. Cabanne said that several weeks ago he went home from his office and found Olive with the livid mark of a blow upon her forehead. She told him Mar- jorie had hit her and when he advised ner to hit Marjorie back, Olive told him Marjorie ‘‘was as big as Mrs. wab- anne.”’ Cabanne asked Marjorie why she had done this and declares that Marjorie told him convincingly that it was an accident, that while some children were teasing her she turned and inadvert- ently struck Olive. Cabanne then went home, he says, and spenked Olive because he believed she had been un- truthful. Two weeks ago, he said, his son, Goode, was coasting down the street in a wagon, when Marjorie hit him in the nose so hard that the nose bled for an hour, and the child is still under a doc- tor’s care for the injury. Mrs. Cabanne became so angry, according to her hus- band, that she chased Marjorie up on the steps of the Manger home and gave the girl a slapping. Blames Cabanne Children, Cabanne declares he asked Manger about the matter and that Manger told him Mrs. Manger was backing Marjorie’s actions. Neighbors have told Cabanne that Mrs. Manger said the trouble was all the Cabanne children’s fault. ‘“‘When I told Mr. Manger I was going to bring: this action,’’ Cabanne said, “he came to talk it over with me and said 1e would do everything he could to end the trouble and hoped it could be settled out of court. That night he telephoned me that his wife wanted to fight it out in court, so I filed the action.” CARDINALS’ GAME OFF; RAIN PREVENTS PLAY

Misses Dorothy Niedringhaus of 79 Vandeventer place has withdrawn from the cast of the society vaudeville to be given at. Delmar Garden next Saturday afternoon and evening for the benefit of the St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Other society girls are vexed at certain fea- tures of the publicity given the affair. Miss Niedringhaus withdrew, it was understood Wednesday,, because her fa- ther, Thomas K. Niedringhaus, objected to press agent notices in which it was said she would sing some of the latest Paris dance hall songs and present a dance made famous abroad by Gaby Deslys. Gaby Deslys is the singer who, according to popular belief, caused young King Manuel of Portugal to lose his crown. Had Costume Prepared, At the Niedringhaus home it was said Wednesday thut the young woman, who returned from a trip to Paris Sunday night, is deeply distressed. She had pre- inred her costume for the evening, but was offended at the unwelcome advertis- ing she received. Miss Olive Simpkins, who is superin- tending the production, said. that Miss Niedringhaus had withdrawn because of failure to get the orchestra scores for the songs she was to give. These songs, Miss Simpkins added, were not from the French music halls, but were from recent light operas that have be- come popular in Paris. Miss Ann Drew, 3755 Lindel! boulevard, admitted that she also was incensed at the advertising, but said that, while her rélatives had tried to persuade her to Withdraw, she had decided not to do She objected to a statement that she was to give an adaptation of a dance called “L'amour d’Apache.” The Apache dance is founded on the stormy love of desperate characters in the Paris slums end its interpretation requires terpsi- Chorean abandon. te Will Gitwe “Butterfly Dance.” [ never had any idea of giving such a dance,’ Miss Drew told a Post-Dis- patch reporter, ‘‘I don’t know how to dance it and have never even seen it canced.

NEW YORK, May 29.—Fireworks and scenic displays will not be lacking at} the Chicago convention next month. “Rough Riders” attired in service uni- forms will be there galore. And Victor Mudock, the Kansas statesman, who, in his New Jersey speeches, termed himself a “howling revolutionist’’ Is to head into the convention hall a column of 100 red-headed insurgents from the Sunflower State. That tnese are some of the nlans be- ing perfected by the Roosevelt pfro- paganda was learned at the Waldorf- Astoria where many of the Roosevelt feaders (not bosses) and sub-leaders, and press agents and satchel carriers Lave foregathered to devise ways and means of taking the convention “off its feet.”” Plans for the stampede are be- ing as carefully made as is a program for a Broadway theater. And the Colonel will be there in all his glory. It is true he has announced he will not go to the convention, but he Las a right to change his mind. And the Outlook staff will be there with “bells on.”’ Lawrence Abbott, the Col- cnel’s “Boss,”’ who was a candidate for delegate in ex-Gov. Odell’s district, will act as field marshal of the literary del- egation. Harold Howland, who ran for the Congresional nomination in his dis- trict in New Jersey has red hair and he has enlisted with the Kansas insur- gents. Frank Harper, the Colonel's secretary, who designates the House of Represen- tatives at Washington as ‘the .House of Commons,” and the “very earnest Abbott” will go too. Dr. Lyman Ab- Lott, who contributed the “‘third-cup-of- coffee’’ doctrine and vouched for the fact that the Colonel “drinks too much milk” will remain at home. Much attention is being given to the spectacular end of the great show and Senator Joseph M. Dixon, chairman of the Roosevelt National Committee, had confided to his friends that “weak kneed”’ delegates from the South will “tumble over themselves in trying to get into the bandwagon!’ Thousands of dollars have been spent for buttons and badges and special trains have been chartered for the faith- ful in many of the Western states. 3 DOGS IN WEST END POISONED, BUT SAVED Residents of the territory along Pen- dieton avenue from Delmar to Morgan street have become alarmed over the activity of dog polsoners in that dis- trict. Several dogs have been killed within the last few days. Within a few hours Tuesday three poisoned dogs were treated by Dr. PF. W. Shaffer, 4599 Delmar boulevard.

BELL Wife of Cavalry Officer, With Children, Is Visiting Parents in Webster. NATIVE BOY GOOD COOK Declares Life in Philippines Is Pleasant Since Americaniza- tion of Island. Mrs. Ola Walter Bell, wife of Capt. Bell of the Eleventh U, S. Cavalry, with her son, St. Albin, and her daughter, Cecille, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rene Poulin, in their summer home at Webster Groves. Mrs. Bell, who, as Miss Hortense Poulin, was a social favorite in St. Louis before her marriage and depar- ture from the city, is regaling friends with stories of the charm of living in the Philippines. She has just returned from the islands. -Capt. Bell, who ac- companied her as far as Japan, is mak- ing a tour around the world before he rejoins his regiment, which has been or- dered to the Mexican border. She declares that were it not for the separation from her relatives she would rather live in the Philippines than any- where else. Housewives there, she says, find the climate delightful and, best of all, they are confronted with no servant problem, ‘‘Most of our work is done by native boys and they make the most desirable servants in the world,’”’ she explains. “The Filipinos are eager to learn and are remarkably apt. When my cook first came to me, two years ago, he knew nothing of cooking but how to prepare his own native dishes. I took him in hand personally. Today he can prepare and serve the most elaborate dinner and I never have to go near except, of course, to look after the table and see if everything is all right just before the guests enter the dining room. ‘‘ We pay this cook boy $12.50 a month. We pay the houseboy, the yardboy and the laundress $5 each a month. The laundress is the wife of the yardboy. Her work will compare with that of the best French laundry.” Americanization of Land, Mrs. Bell admitted that the joys of life in the Philippines didn’t exist when she went there first, 10 years ago, Then Americans had to fear fevers, priva- tions, hardships of all kinds. When she first went there Mrs. Bell said she ate no meat for nine months and saw no ice for 18 months. Now things are dit- ferent, because of the Americanization of the country, especially around Man- ila, Marketing is another delight in the Philippines, according to Mrs. _ Bell. E'very day native women visit the homes carrying hugs baskets of fresh pro- duce from which the housewife may select. It is no unusual thing for a rative woman to carry a basket on rer head and child dangling at each hip while the husband and father, carrying nothing heavier than a walking stick, escorts the family. A Filipino man would scorn to carry either basket or child. Post Establishes Nursery. The army post, half an hour’s ride out of Manila, where Capt. and Mrs. Bell have been for the last two years, has been turned into a great garden and grove by the army officers. It is an unwritten law that the gardens planted by the first-comers shall be kept up by their successors. The commanding officer directed Cant. Bell some time ago to establish a post nursery, and this was done. In this nursery there are today 90,000 shade trees and fruit trees from Australia and India. All of them thrive remark- ably, Mrs, Bell says.

CHICAGO, May 29.—The last day for filing contests of delegates to the Republican national convention be- gan today with a rush of communi- cations to the secretary of the com- mittee. No attempt was made to classify |

the contests received in the day be- yond estimating that there would be a total of about 260 contests when all the returns were received. Of these the committee estimates that 225 contests are by the Roosevelt forces and 35 by the Taft men. Of the 1078 delegates, credentials for 1000 had been freceived today. Jesse Tolerton of Jefferson City, Mo., an aid of Gov. Hadley, arrived at headquarters with a brief for the Roosevelt contests in Missouri. He declared that President Taft is con- testing the delegates-at-large and the district delegates from the First, Third, Fifth and Fourteenth Missouri distriets and that Col. Roosevelt is contesting in the Seventh District. . “If a fair and impartial hearing is given by the National Committee,” he said, “Col. Roosevelt will have 26 of the 36 Missouri delegates,”

the day and as the attorney played his trump card, the witness half sprung from his chair and with reddened face; brought his first down on the table as: he fairly shouted a: denial. This was the first time Rockefeller had made a categorical answer to a leading question. He had hedged, evad- ed, dodged and explained in a way to thoroughly exasperate his questioner. He had smiled benignly as he told of the “intentions” of those dominant in Standard Oil, but not once had he given an answer satisfactorily to his in- quisitor. Untermyer’s Efforts Unavailing. Untermyer had appealed to Rockefeller: he had appealed to the commissioner and he had used unavailingly every art at his command. Not by trick, device or appeal could he obtain the answers oe desired. At times the evasions were so apparent that those in the crowded library Jaughed outright. At such ‘times Rockefeller would look really hurt and beg Untermyer to believe he was doing the very best he could to satisfy him. “I am not trying to evade your ques- tions,’’"khe said once when Untermyer made- a particularly strenuous appeal to the commissioner. - ‘“‘Indeed’ I am not. I came here to tell you what you want to know and I am suré I am sincerely trying.”’ A benign smile enveloped his ruddy face, and his eyes twinkled merrily. He was now enjoying the ordeal and the discomfiture of his questioner. Untermyer replied with some heat and there was a suggestion that he was los- ing his temper. “You may be trying, Rockefeller,” he said, “‘but you have not given one have asked. You have made speeches, very pretty speeches, but they are to no purpose. I tell you that I’m going.to get; answers.to my questions if we have to stay here all night. If you want to stay, well and good; if you don’t, then an- swer. I can stand it, but answer you will, before. you get through,”’ ' Rockefeller sank back ‘with an injured look and waved his hand with an air of resignation. Then he evaded some more, dodged some more, smiled a great deal and went on slipping out of situations s0 delicate that a misplaced word would have ruined his cause. Doesn’t Want Answer Spotied. When he was finally pinned down into making one flat admission, he immedi- ately started to hedge by offering an ex- planation. “Don't! Don’t!" shouted Untermyer. “That’s the first straight answer you have made today. Please don’t spoil it.” If Rockefeller by any chance got into & position that seemed to bother him, Attorney Murray would leap into the gap. To the mind of Untermyer Mur- ray was “pestiferous,” and he said so. He even used stronger language. He accused the lawyer of guiding the wit- ness by suggestions and in this charge he was upheld by the Commissioner. The Commissioner repeatedly ordered the at- torney to subside, but the orders made no impression, apparently, for Murray kept right on. Attorney Fox got into similar trouble half a dozen times, with the result that there was a passage at arms every few minutes. At times the quarrels became exceedingly lively, All tried to talk at once, and the proceedings became too in- volved for even the ‘expert stenogra- phers. Once Murray ‘handed to Rovkefeiler «

foutput and sale of petroleum and its) Mr. Murray does not intend to influence the witness, he may do so. This is en- tirely out of order,’’ hé said. The Commissioner so held, but Murray did not subside. When he rested Fox broke into the proceedings while the witness, smiling complacently, regarded the combatants with an air of mild amusement and twiddled his fingers. Effort to Show Trust Control. All this time Untermyer was trying tc» show t) at since the Standard Oll Co. was dissolved it had sought to control the subsidiary companies, once compon- ent parts of it, by electing officers fa- vorable to their interest and in this was renewing their old vise-like grip on the products. Charles T. White, secretary of the Standard, had testified that Rockefeller had ‘instigated’’ the move to collect proxies for the Waters Pierce meeting and Untermyer began inquiring into the reasons therefor. It was right here that he ran against the first snag. Rockefeller was willing to admit that he had received the proxies he was to sign and that he had signed them, but when it came to telling how he hap- Lenéd to do this—what investigations he had made—that was a different matter. He could not recall the names on the proxies but he admitted hearing that there was likely to be a controversy over the election of the Waters Pierce board of directors. However, to the best of his recollection, it was after he had signed the papers. The proxies were such as he signed every day and he made no investigation. ‘When proxies come to me in the usual way from my office I sign them as I have done for years,’’ declare? the witness. When Rockefeller was released from the stand he beckoned to Untermyer and took him into a corner. “Do you know, my dear sir,” he con- fided with all the gravity of a Presby- terian parson, ‘“‘that I really belleve I was a bit dull today. But I may also say, I think, that some of your ques- tions were a trifle involved—just a trifle involved.’’ Challenges Untermyer to Golf. Rockefeller twisted the fingers of oné hand into a knot and pointed to hen __,DOCT ORS? ADVICE.

Son of Member of Hadley’s Staff Picking Strawberries. Col. Martin J. Collins, a member of Gov. Hadley’s official staff, found his missing 10-year-old son, Charles, at Windheim, St. Louis County, late Tues- day night. The boy, known to his play- mates as “Bunny” Collins, ran away from his home, 2919 Allen avenue, a week ago. When found he was working a3 a strawberry picker for a farmer named Auer, south of Jefferson Bar- racks. Collins reported the boy’s disappear- ance to the police Tuesday. Newspaper publications contained a _ description which was recognized by a resident of Windheim, who telegraphed to the Col- lins home Tuesday night. The boy said he ran away because life at home was tame. He had been earning 20 cents a duy as @ berry picker. — Elevator Kills Missouri Man. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 28.—J. A.

CROSSES HOME DISTRICT Delegates Also Provide for the Holding of a Bond Issue Election on August 5. Within a few hours after Mayor Lam- bert of East St. Louis had told a com- mittee of the House of Delegates that the people of East St. Louls would ex- haust every legal resource at their com- mand to prevent the construction of an elevated free bridge approach through the residence district of the city, the House, by a vote of 16 to li, passed the Gerhart northeast approach bill. This approach intersects at right angles the finest residence district of East St. Louis, and was the approach Mayor Lambert opposed in his speech. At the same meeting the House of Delegates passed a bill providing for a special election, Aug. 5, to vote on a proposition to issue $2,750,000 worth of bonds for the completion of the free bridge. The estimated cost of the Ger- bart approach is over $3,000,000, and $1,000,000 more would be needed fvr the completion of wagon approaches on both sides of the river and the ra"road approach on the east side of the river. Members of the House of Delegates, supporting the Gerhart bill, boasted that 'Ithey had passed it to put the Council in the “hole.’ The Council favurs the Reber approach, for which the land has already been purchased or donated. Vetes For and Against Bill. Some members of the House said they knew the Council would not pass the Gerhart approach bill, but added that the House wanted to shift the respon- sibility for delay to the Council. The Gerhart bill was passed by a combina- |tion of its advocates with the advocates of the Alton and Mississippi approach and the five Democratic members. The House plans when the Council rejects tne. Gerhart bill to pass the Alton and Mississippi bill, and again delay the completion of the bridge. The members of the House who voted for the Gerhart bill were: Ebrecht, Gal- lagher, Gazzolo, Hall, Igoe, Ittner, Klose, Lahiv, Loeffel, McCarthy, Me- thudy, Mohrstadt, Oviatt, Scully and Walker. Those who voted against the bill were: Barnett, Becker, Bischoff, Echelman, Higel, Eilers, Gregory, Hale, Lawton, Rabenberg and Speaker Sommerich., Accepts Auto Invitation. The House resolved itself into a com- mittee 6f the whole and passed the Ger- hart bill after the special joint com- mittee, which had spent five months in- vestigation on. the bridge aproach ques- tion, had recommended the Reber ap- proach, with the Denverside extension. This report was signed by eight of the sar meanheie of the committee, Delegate Scully alone held out for the Gerhart approach, and Delegate Mohrstadt sub- mitted a report in favor of the Alton & Mississippi approach. After passing the Gerhart approach ‘| bill the House accepted the invitation of the Alton & Mississippi railroad to make an automobile tour, at 1 p. m. Monday, of the route of the proposed Alton & Mississippi approach. Thanks for Commitee. The move to pass the Gerhart bill was made by Delegate Ittner of the Four- teenth Ward. He asked that the House resolve itself into a committee of the whole. Delegate Igoe, Democrat, de- clared that the péople were clamoring for the completion of the bridge, and advocated the suspension of the rules of the House so that the Gerhart bill could be put upon its passage. The rules were suspended by a vote of 21 to 6. After the Gerhart bill had passed the House passed the bond election bill, al- [though the. members knew that the bill did not authorize the issuance of suffi- cient bonds to build even the Gerhart approach. The members of the joint committee, after making their report, were tendered a vote of thanks “for their hard labor of five months,’’ on motion of Delegate Lahiv, and discharged.

“I was in bad health before I mar- ried,” writes Mrs. Mary Pruitt ie this place, “but kept it a secret, most young girls do. I am sure if I had taken Cardui, the woman's tonic, when I was young, I would not have gone through seven years of suffering. “Soon after I was married, the trouble became so severe, I was forced to seek relief. I tried every doctor in one town. They claimed they could cure me, but all failed, and we decided that I would never be well. I had such aching and drawing pains in my back, legs, sides and head, that I would cry and scream, and tell my husband that I was going to die. “Finally, one day, he read in_the Ladies’ Birthday Almanac about Car- dui, the woman’s tonic, and got a bottle for me. After taking the first dose, I felt better, and after using one bottle I never did have any more pain. “It relieved me at once. “I can never praise Cardui enough.”—Hickory Grove, 8S. C.

prés ent Towns Along the .Pro- i. Southern Hfinois Line. “IN MINORITY” f 9 After a shortage of $3300 worth of 2- | cent postage stamps had been discovered in his cage, Charles F. Schmidt, stamp clerk at the main postoffice, was arrest- ad at his home, 2124 East Fair avenue, Tuesday night by United States Deputy Marshal McLaughlin. ‘In default of $2500 bond, he was taken to jail, pending a preliminary hearing on an embezzlement charge. Schmidt is 30 years old and has a wife and two chil- cren. He was released Wednesday on a bond furnished by his father, Michael Schmidt of 3430 North Ninth street. After his arrest, Schmidt admitted the shortage, saying that part of it extended back over three years. ,He denied that he profited by the theft of stamps, and asserted that he falsified his accounts to cover up a shortage which he found when acting as a substitute for another clerk. A very novel and picturesque enter- tainment will be the “Carnaval de Danses a la Viennoise,”” to be 214 on the lawn of the St. Louis Club Friday evening. A brilliant company of talent- ed St. Louis children will ‘ake part in the affair, which promises to be of the most appealing charm in its beauty «nd gracefulness.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. | KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 29.—Accord- ing to friends and supporters of W. 5. Cowherd, candidate for the Democratic gone broadcast here that former Gov. David R. Francis has attempted by ) threats to keep Cowherd out of the race, and has indicated that he will use his political influence to defeat Cowherd. Willard P. Hall, former Judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals,. quotes Francis as saying to him: ‘So long as I live, Cowherd will never be Governor of Missouri.’’ , ¥rancis and Hall met in Washington in January. They have been friends for years. Hall also has been a stanch- supporter of Cowherd. : Report of the Conversation, As quoted by Hall, Francis said to him: . ‘Is Cowherd going to run for Gov- ernor?’’ i 4 “T understand he is not,’’ replied Hall. “Well,”’ said Francis, ‘“‘I have differ- ent information ' through a mutual friend, wend you can just go back home and tell Cowherd that he will never be Gover.or of Missouri as long as I live.’ Explaining what led up to this expres-/ sion, Hall has said to friends here that at the time, she” believed Cowherd did not iniend to seek the nomination for (;overnor. fle says Francis complained of Cowherd having made a speech at Columbia, Mo, in the Krancis-Reed sen- “torial fight in 1910. Francis said, ac- cording to Hall, that he urged Cowherd not to make the speech, but that Cow- herd not only ignored his request, but Went even further and spoke in favor of Reed. livered Francis’ message to Cowherd,”’ said Hall. ‘At that time Cowherd had not decided’ to run and I «thought 4t proper to give him the information, bo that he might knoW what to expect if he should make the race.” Former Francis Supporter. Friends of Cowherd here say that Cow- herd for many years worked in the political ititerest of Francis. jpaign and that in ithe made no @stack |. ion Francis; but Bisiply told..ofr many

"} Francis Denies, Serving Notice He : Would Oppose Cowherd. : Former Governor Francis was seen | Wednesday at his office in the Re- ‘public editorial rooms by-a Post-Dis-, patch reporter. “It is ridiculous to say that I ever served notice on Cowherd that he could not be elected Governor so long as I rémpined alive,’ he, said. “That is not My way of handling political Situations, [| do not base my cam- paigns on the negative side. I do not tear down, I try to build up. I am devoting my energies to an effort to redeem Missouri. “It is absurd to place me in the light of trying to punish Cowherd for his activity in opposing me in the senatorial campaign of 1910. It is a fact that Cowherd made not one, but many speeches in favor of Reed and against me. “T never sent any message to Cow- herd notifying him that I would hot support him. I will not now say that I am against Cowherd and I will not say that I am for him.” The reporter asked Gov. Francis if, as stated in the Kansas City dispatch, he was supporting Attorney-General Major for the governorship. “Well,” he said, “I heard yesterday that I was supporting Bolte.” Gov. Francis said that he could not recall meeting Judge Hall of Kansas City in Washington in January. “Tl probably did meet him,” he said. “That was when:the National Com- mitee met and we went there to try to get the Democratic national con- vention for St, Louis, I saw and talked to a great many ‘men. But you can’t make it too strong that I never served notice on Cowherd that he could not be governor so long as I lived.”

Chester S. Jordan, who killed his wife, Honora A, Jordan, has induced George L.

In the death house in East Cam- bridge Jordan wag told that the Su- preme Court had denied his petition for a new trial.

Kidney Trouble Overeome by the Great Treatment, I have been a sufferer for years with kidney and bladder trouble and took almost everything a drug store contained, without obtaining any benefit. I suffered so that I became utterly discouraged, as I could not sleep, was always dizzy and had a headache all the time. I saw one of your adver- tisements and as a last resort, de- cided to try your Swamp-Root. I am now taking the third bottle and feel like a new woman, sleep well and have no pain whatever. I strongly advise all sufferers to take the only real cure for kidney and bladder trouble. Dr. Kilmer’ Swamp-Root was a Godsend to me. You may publish this letter if you wish, so that it may be the means of bringing some poor sufferers back to health.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 29.—Capt. Arthur H. Rostron, commander of the Cunard liner Carpathia, which sped to the rescue of the passengers of the sinking Titanic, today received a handsome silver loving cup from a committee of Titanic sur- vivors, who boarded the liner on her arrival here today.” Gold, silver and bronze medals, to- gether with a framed set of engrossed cesolutions, were presented to the offi- cers and entire crew, which had been mustered in the saloon. Capt. Rostron, in responding, said the credit was all due to the crew of the Carpathia; he merely had tried to do his duty as a sail- or to suffering humanity. “The crew,” he said, ‘‘have brought this honor to me and to themselves.”’ pathia to this port since she brought back her cargo of survivors four days after the tragedy. Among the members of the committee present were Bjornstrom Steffenson of the Swedish Legation, Mrs. J. J. Brown of Denver, Carl Behr and Frederick K. Seward. No Action Yet Taken Toward Change in Californian Command, LIVERPOOL, May 29.—Capt. Stanley Lord of the Leyland Line steamship Californian, who was criticised by Sena- tor Smith, the chairman of the sena- torial committee which inquired into the Titanic disaster, in his report presented yesterday to the Senate and whose com- mand of the Californian on her present trip from Liverpool to Boston has been taken over by Capt. Masters, is now in England. Officials of the Leyland Line today an- nounced that Capt. Lord is remaining in this country to testify before the Bri- tish Board of Trade inquiry ‘into the loss of the Titanic, the hearings of which will be resumed June 4. The Leyland officials added that no action whatever had yet been taken with regard to any definite change in the command of the Californian. Smith’s Speech on the Titanic Bosh, Says London Express. LONDON, May 29.—The London morn- ing papers publish long extracts from the United States Senate Committee’s report on the Titanic disaster and from Senator Smith’s speech, but only a few comments on them _ editorially. The Daily Mail says the report is not likely to provoke serious criticism, but thinks {. regrettable that Senator Smith was not content to allow it to speak for it- self, as it regards his speech as “a

That extraordinary mass of grandilo- quent bosh is probably without a par- allel in the history of parliaments. Its mock heroics and ludicrous verbosity re- lieve it of any taint of sincerity or sense.”’ The Press thinks that in view of Sen- ator Smith’s behavior at the inquiry the report will not benefit from his association, but there is some justifica- tion for the charge of lack of discipline in loading the boats after the col- lision. As regards the censure of the Californian’s captain, it believes the British people will reserve judgment un- til after the report of the Mersey Com- mission. Titanic Passenger Says Capt.

Butt. It had not been arranged bef \re- hand, and Capt. Smith in attending, was merely discharging an ordinary courtesy to a group of his passengers. He did not stay in the cafe where the dinner was given for more than half an hour excusing himself with the re- mark that he must attend to his duties.

EE By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. It isn’t always the pitcher of the win- ning team that twirls the best baseball. There are moundmen with second 4dil- vision clubs who perform better day in and day out than the curvists of the leading outfits, but the average fan doesn’t appreciate the fact. According to his way of sizing up the situation the pitcher either wins or loses the game. The Browns added two victories to the Tigers’ total Tuesday. The defeats are charged to Earl Hamilton and Joe Lake, elthough they were not altogether at fault. The present system of keeping tab on a pitcher’s work does an injustice to the flinger. For instance, on one Eastern. jaunt last season Barney Pelty lost every game he pitched in the enemy’s coun- try by a single run. Pelty failed to win a third of his games last season, although in effectiveness he performed better than a big bunch of twirlers on ciubs that finished much higher than the Browns. It is the same case with other twirlers of the same team. Right now many hurlers are listed as ttars because good batting and good fielding teams are carrying them along. Put these same fellows with a losing club and waivers would be asked on them in short order, It’s pretty discour- aging for a twirler to hold the enemy to few hits and bases on balls only to have some mate kick away the show. Nelson’s Brother a Pitcher, **Red’’ Nelson has asked Manager Wallace to give a trial to his brother George, who is pitching Saturday and Sunday ‘games for semi-professional teams in Cleveland, Ac- cording to ‘“Powder,’’ his brother is 18 years old, six feet tall and weighs 185 pounds, has speed and control and, best of all, knows how to pitch. There’s another member of the Nelson family who is a pitcher. He’s an older brother and worked with Darby O’Brien’s Duluth team several seasons ago. For fail- ing to report he’s; blacklisted and is also hurling on the lots in Cleveland, When Manager Wallace yanked George Baumgardner from the mound in a game in Washington recently, it was one of the few times of his career that the West Vir- ginia speed demon failed to finish a game. According to the Brownies, Baum was the picture of despair after he had been taken out. He was a star in the Mountain States League last season and bids fair to make a reputation for himself in the big show, as he’s only 20 years old. But it surely hurt his pride to be called in from the hill, Had Cobb Been There! The Tigers are grieving because they dropped that 17-inning game to the White Sex in Chicago last Saturday. They are figuring what a cinch it would have been had T,. Raymond Cobb been in the game. In his place was young Perry, the Interna- tional League graduate. Walsh and Lange, who hurled for the Sox, had his number, During the game the contest was put up to Perry five times. In all, according to the Detroiters, a total of 12 players were ieft on the sacks by Perry. Just imagine what Cobb would have done had he been in that show. He might not haye driven in all, but certainly 12 wouldn't have been left had Tyrus n in the game And only one run was ed to win after the ninth frame, ~~ HIGH SCHOOL BOYS IN TRIALS TODAY Preliminary heats of the dash and hur- dle events of the annual Interscholastic meet scheduled at the Stadium Friday afternoon will be held at that place Wednesday afternoon.

Moha earned the honors in two rounds and divided in another. Neither man showed the slightest trace of championship form.

DREAMED LONG OF WOMAN FOR WhOM He ENDED 2 LIVES Stockton (Cal.) Slayer Mr, and Mrs. Tolliver Believed They Separated Him From Wife. tr Ol By Associated Press. * STOCKTON, Cal., May 29.—Frank R. Buckalew, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. tn this city, unfolded a re- markable story today in connection with the killing of C. H. Tolliver and wife in San Diego Saturday night by Bert G. Lewis. Buckalew, an ucquaintance of Lewis, saw him 10 days ago and noticed he appeared morose and gloomy. Buckalew’s story of his acquaintance with Lewis is as follows: “I met him at the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association rooms, where Lewis called for his mail, and one day when I invited him into my office, he told me his life story. Lewis was a New York City boy, aspiring to be a pugilist, but of gentlemanly appearance and behavior. Seven or eight years ago, when he was boxing in New York, he met a Swedish girl. ‘She was the prettiest girl I ever saw,’ said Lewis. ‘I couldn't get her out of my mind, and soon became a reg- ular caller at her home. Her parents, however, had no intention of allowing her to marry an American, expecting to take her back to Sweden, and one even- They had sent her away, and I tried in vain to find her. I mailed letters to every city of importance in the country, but most of them came back with the ‘uncalled for’ stamp upon them. “ ‘Then I became desperate and started out to find her. -For five years I wan- dered over the country, visited city after city, saw thousands of pretty girls, but never the object of my search. “‘Often when lying on my back on top of a freight car J would see her face outlined in the stars and would resolve with fresh spirit to keep up the search. “Finally I landed in Oklahoma, and became acquainted with a Danish mas- seur, who invited me to call at his home, saying he would make me acquainted with a beautiful young lady who was vititing his wife. “IT went and found my long lost sweetheart. We were married two weeks later. “Lewis blamed the Tollivers for hav- ing estranged his wife and persuading her to begin divorce proceedings,”’ said Buckalew. “When he became il} in Sac- ramento, a few months ago, however, his wife hastened to his bedside, and they were. reconciled.”

DIME APIECE, COST OF USING SWEAR WORDS AT SGnO0L Club at McKendree Also Imposes Nickel Fine for the Speaking of Slang.

It eosts a dime to say “dammit” at McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill., and a nickel to say ‘‘dogonit’’ or ‘“‘giminy crickets.’’ That is, her of the Anti-Swear:and Anti-Slang lent- ly against her, tried to trip her and tugged at the package. She is an ath- letic woman and not only kept her feet but a firm grip on the package. With- out making-an outcry she started for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and the r »»ber, seeing that the package was bound te Mrs. Deering’s wrist and that he was attracting attention, disappeared. After putting the necklace in a safe place at home Mrs. Deering notified the police. “Nothing to it,’’ said Detective-Ser- geant Van Twistern.- “It’s getting so that every time a woman is bumped into on a street she thinks somebody is. try- ing to rob her. I think so much of the case that I haven’t even gone out on it, and I’m not going.’ Deering, Father Obiected to Marriage, The marriage of Miss Violet Pierce to James R. Deering, Yale *02, in March, 1908, caused a social sensation. Henry Clay Pierce was bitterly opposed to the marriage, and when he learned that the voung: woman who had been his daughter’s chaperon -had aided ir their love affair, he discharged her. None of the bride’s relatives attended the cere- mony.

Baltimore will literally smell like Constantino- ple and the Democratic convention will resemble a bench show in odor, appearance and sound if all of the houn’ dawgs that have been promised for the occasion materialize. There will be more dawgs than delegates if the various country ed- itors, coon hunters and eccentrics carry out their threats. Several have promised to take whole packs. The Orientals sometimes carried cats into bat- tle and threw them at the enemy, but ho such use is proposed for the dawg. He will be sua- sive only. He will contribute atmosphere and inspiration and fleas and mournful numbers. Without disparagement of Champ Clark, whose faithful friend he is supposed to be, we doubt the ingratiating qualities of a barnful of melan- choly mongrels full of fried liver and afflicted with mange. If we were Champ Clark and wanted to make friends of opposing delegates we should call off our dawgs. A grumbler suggests that a little of the es- sence of the seeds of St. Ignatius’ bean would be about the right thing for the houn’ dawg. In- vestigation proves that this means strychnine and we deplore the means as too drastic. Better, indeed, that the houn’ be kicked, if it comes to that—or canned. There are better means, we hope, of conserving the personal comfort of the

Prices and Popular Rule. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, isn’t it time the people of this country decided constitutional questions when all the necessaries of life are in the hands of a few, and everybody has to pay trust prices or starve? BE. E. F. The Forces Behind Taft. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Permit me to congratulate you beyond the pow- er of expression for the sentiment contained in your editorial, “An Appeal to Imbecility.” It is impossible for janguage to put the situation clearer, as between Roosevelt and Taft.. For some time, Mr. Taft has been telling us, it will not do to trust the people with control over the Constitution and the Judges. Now, he and his fanatical advisers tell us that it will not do to trust them with the selection of a president. In other words, the people and interests that have flourished and fattened by plundering the tolerant, toiling and patriotic masses of the American people, now assume the arrogant atti- tude of stand-patters and superhuman advisers, end propose to deliberately and willfully wreck the party that has controlled the Government for balf a century, rather than permit the masses to rulé the classes. I am neither an Anarchist or Socialist, but of one thing the nabob interests and advisers of Mr. Taft may bé assured; it is, that the American peo- ple, whether Republicans,- Democrats or Socialists, are now in no humor for dictation or advice from the upstarts in so-called high places, financially and politically, whom the people have unfortu- nately permitted to tamper with their liberties and pick their pockets, until they have become a menace to all decency and safety in this country. T. S. BURNETT. Prohibition. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. La Follette frankly says in answer to a ques- tion that he “does not believe in prohibition.” If Prohibitionists must vote outside their party, they should vote for such a man. The candidate who does not say just what he believes ought not to. be ih politics... A Prohibitionist, however, should vote his own ticket, and he should vote it straight if the right men have been nominated. It is so- phistty to say his vote will be thrown away. A vate is only thrown away when it is cast for somo politcian who is afraid to say his soul is his own. Every voter should have a conscience and be suided by it, after long and caréful consideration of the questions before him. PROHIBITIONIST. Cupless Discomfort. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like:to call your attention to the drink- ing fountains in one of the high schools. They are so arranged that it is impossible to get a drink, since cups have been abolished, unless you Crink like some animal. Therefore pupils are forcéd to.do without water all day, except at the lurch period, if they have no sanitary cups. Now this is not at all pleasant during this warm weather and I think soniéthing should be done at once, sO nye it before the public notice. A PUPIL.

THRIFT,

a WILL THE PUBLIC STAND ITtf From the New York Tribune. Twenty-five cents a ton additional, the amount now unofficially named as the increase likely to be made in the price of coal, will take about $15,- 000,000 a year additional out of the pockets of the consumers of domestic sizes of anthracite. The increase a ton is not great. Perhaps for that reason it is hoped by those who are suggesting it that it will be accepted by the public without complaint, but in the aggregate it will be a heavy burden upon a people already suffer- ing from the high cost of living. And if in addition there is to be this spring no discount in the price of coal, a large part of the public will be forced to pay not 25 cents a ton, but 50 cents a ton, more than usual and more than it would have been compelled to pay had the customary discount gone into effect In April.

MORSE, From the New York World. Charles W. Morse in Wall street among his old friends, jaunty, alert and looking ‘‘the picture of health,” is an object of considerable public attention. This is the man who was released from a Federal prison three months ago on the report of a board of Government surgeons that he was dying. What has effected the speedy resuscitation of the decrepit and moribund prisoner? What has caused his extraordinary physical and mental transformation? Physicians, psychologists, penologists, have an equal concern in Morse’s case—the one in re- lease from confinement 48 a curative agency, the other in the bearing of men- tal conditions on a prisoner’s physical state, and the third as regards the spiritual aspects of punishment.

CIRCUS VERSUS CHURCH, From the University Item. This story of Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, the new Chancellor of New York University, is now going the rounds. On one occasion when he was called upon to respond to a toast at a banquet he compared the evening with the dull and drab nights he was forced to spend por- ing over his books. “It makes me think of the little son of a friend of mine,”’ said Chancellor Brown. “One summer he was taken to the circus for the first time by his doting father. When he re- turned, round-eyed and all but apoplec- tie with delight, his mother asked him how he liked the circus. ‘Mother,’ saia my friend’s little boy, ‘If you once go to the circus with me, you'll never want to fool away time on church again.’ ” Spotlight on Diamond. From the Washington Herald. “The stage ruined Plunkville’s best pitcher.” “How was that?’ “He was in vaudeville all winter ana now he can’t do a thing without a spotlight.” Republic and Champ. From the Hannibal Journal. The St. Louis Republic evidently didn’t know the Post-Dispatch wag load. ed. Very few people believe that the Republic is sincerely for Champ Clark. Heun’ Dawg and Eagle.

BUYING A HORSE. Buying a horse is not like buying any- thing else in the world, though thou- sands of horses are bought and sold ev- ery day, and they are not, in the end, unlike any other commodity found in the market. It is because the man selling the horse bas self-impugned motives. It is not necessary for the person buying the horse to impugn them. They are al- ready impugned. There is no reason why this should be so, but it is. It is the singular thing about buying a horse. The man who is selling the horse, know- ing his motives are impugned, sturdily défends them. The horse is never a consideration. You listen to what the man who is selling it has to say about his motives. If you believe him, you take the horse. If you don't believe him, you don’t take the horse. While the horse is usually brought out and raced bag wo ety it is a mere for- Whether the horse heaves or = ee" Pe nehapees whether you believe fn the purity of the other man’s motives. You can't decide »Lout that with watching the horse. You watch the man. If you watch him close- ‘“, you can even turn your back on the herse and in a very short time say if you will take it. Various explanations have been made of the self-impugned motives of a man selling horses. Some people have at- tributed them to the probability that «everybody who sells horses has at some time deceived a buyer.

The Jarr Family 6¢ HERE is that boy?’ cried Mrs. Jarr, for the twen- tieth time, going to the window and looking long and anxiously down upon the teeming Harlem street below her. Mr. Jarr, sitting nearby reading the evening paper, grunted as he swayed his knees to one side to give Mrs. Jarr standing room by the window, where he read in the creaking old Morris chair. Mrs. Jarr could have gone to the other front window and not bothered Mr. Jarr, but the ruling passion with the ladies is: When annoyed, annoy everybody else. “I sent him to wash his hands and I gave him some money to run out and get half a pound of butter for supper,” continued the worried mother. “And what can be delaying him?” “Well, I'll go out and look for him if ; You want me to,’’ grumbled Mr. Jarr, rising from his comfortable position. “But it’s early yet and a minute or two won't make much difference, The boy tis in the store for the butter.

She had had Clara Mudridge-Smith, | now an ardent suffragette, with her all afternoon and was feeling the influence of the battle cry of civic equality . “You'd better look in at the moving picture show,” she remarked, as Mr. Jarr reached the door. “I can’t trust those children with a five-cent piece since the craze for the ‘movies,’ as they call them, has all the young ones sim- ply beyond one’s control!” ‘“Umhuh,” assented . Mr. started down the stairs. Mrs. Jarr leaned over the balustrade ard advised him to look in Muller’s grocéry, because, although she had directed Master Jarr to go to the butter and egg store, Muller seduced the youth of the neighborhood by. largess of gin- gersnaps or stick candy to bring cash trade to him.

The range was irregular after an early dip. The weather map snowed the South- west still as dry as a bone, and little chance for rain in the next few days. In the Northwest, however, conditions were better and the Minneapolis market was soft. Corn was influenced early by an opening bulge of 1\%c in the May option at Chicago, which sold at 81%c. Later there was selling and the range was irre guiar. Oats were easy, with the demand light. The Liverpool wheat market responded to the steady American cables yesterday, and at the opening offers were light and shorts covered, which resulted in an advance of 4d to igd. Following the opening there was strong support in May, which advanced an additional 1%d on the poor quality of ar- rivals and fears for delivery. There was pressure in the distant months as a result of favorable crop reports from Europe and free Canadian and Plate offers at a decline, and a smaller inquiry for forward shipments.

MAY SETTLE DIVORCES Descendant of Calhoun Em- ployed to Give All His Time to Handling Cases. Miss Anne Evans of 4017 Delmar boulevard, Vassar graduate and social service worker, will lead a fight on un- scrupulous lawyers and employers in &t.* Louis. She has just been appointed assistant secretary of the Legal Aid Bureau of the Bar Association of St. Louis and will do the investigating. She says her social service work has taught her there is a class of persons who oppress the poor and ignorant by a bluff that can be beaten easily by any one with proper backing. She thinks she will have this backing in the Legal Aid Bureau. The Legal Aid Bureau will open for tusiness June 1, with offices in the Board of Education Building. J. W. Calhoun of 3024 Geyer avenue has been selected as the attorney for the work. for the Legal Aid Bureau and will Bive all of his time to the work. He is a great grandson of John C. Cal- houn of South Carolina, who was a Vice-president of the United States. The purpose of the Legal Aid Bureau is to thwart unscrupulous lawyers and to give free aid to poor persons who have legal rights, but not the money to retain attorneys to enforce them. Has Worked for Government. Miss Evans was prompted to take up legal aid work by- her experiences while working as an investigator of woman and child labor for the Department of Commerce and Labor. She was a teach- er in the East St. Louis High School when the Government sent out a bul- letin requesting the submission of theses on the subject of woman and child la- bor. Miss Evans submitted one and it won her an appointment. “Soon after I began work for the Government,” Miss Evans told a Post- Dispatch reporter,’’ I was in the house of a poor family in Alabama when some men came in and were starting to carry out the sewing machine. They didn’t have any right to the sewing machine, but they had those poor persons bluffed into thinking they did. But their bluf- fing didn’t impress me and the sewing machine remained at the house. “T was in the South investigating la- bor in the cotton mills for the Govern- ment for a considerable time and I found that a great many of the hardships of poor persons were due to the fact that they did not know that they were be- ing deprived of rights which the law gave them. “I have just returned from Chicago |} where I spent four days studying the methods of the legal aid bureau in that city. The directors of the work there had me actively engage in it and I had several interesting experiences. I brought happiness to one couple, the parents of several children, by causing them to get married. They had been common law man and wife and some difficulty arose over insurance on the father. We straightened out the legal tangle by making the domestic arrange- ment straight. “Another case of which I began the investigation was that of a Pole, a stranger to the ways of the United States, who got his first job as a porter in a saloon. He agreed to work for $i a month and his board. But the saloonkeeper gave him only 10 cents each week for a shave and 25 cents to spend on Sunday. Then they had a dis- agreement and when the porter was dis- charged he sought the Legal Aid Bu- reau to learn how he could collect the wages that were due him. May Settle Domestic Cases. “I do not think the Legal Aid Bureau of the Bar Association of St. Louis will take up divorce cases for trial in the courts, but we may be able to ad- just many domestic difficulties before they reach the divorce stage. I think many divorce cases can be prevented if the causes which bring them about are attended to in time. “One case came under my observa- tion where a man was made to look like a demon until the truth finally came out that the real cause of all the trou- ble was that his wife didn’t know how to cook. Of course, the Legal Aid Bu- reau will not have any cooking school as a side issue, but there are always ways to remedy such cases if they are tuken in hand properly.’’ Miss Evans also was connected for a time with the Juvenile Court in St. Louis as a probation officer. One thousand dollars has been ap- propriated by the Bar Association for the support of the legal aid bureau for the first year and another $1000 has been contributed by private individuals. The committee in charge of the bureau think $2500 or $3000 will be necessary for the first year, and subscriptiong are solicited,

GAVE UP THEIR EARNINGS

Say Promise Was Made They Would Get Estate—Lost in Three Jury Trials.

In a suit on trial in Judge Grimm’s court, Gustave Beyer and his brother, Ernest, seek to divest their sister, Mrs. Lena Schlenker, of title to property at 3626 Arkansas avenue. The property be- longed to the estate of her father, Emil F. W. Beyer, who died in 1904. He be- queathed it to his daughter in his will and left the plaintiffs $100 and $5 re- spectively. Gustave Beyer was his step- son. According to the plaintiffs, the elder Beyer agreed to leave the property to them if they turned over to him their earnings. They consented to do this and for years, they declare, gave their father and mother every cent they earned, The property was largely paid for with money earned by them, they assert. It is worth $10,600. Litigation over the property started in 1905. At that time Gustave and Er- nest Beyer began a suit to break their father’s will. There were three trials. The first verdict declared the will void. A new trial resulted in a disagreement and at the third hearing the jury sus- tained the will and a year ago the Court of Appeals affirmed this finding. Gustave Beyer did not tell his counsel that Emil Beyer was his stepfather un- til after the Court of Appeals had passed on the case. Then his counsel informed him he had made the fight for nothing If the elder Beyeér’s will had bean set aside it would have been held he died without a will. Then, under the liw, his estate would have gone to his own cnil- dren, stepchildren not inheriting under such conditions. The suit now on trial was filed, alleging violation of contract Gustave Beyer and Miss Margare‘ha Schweiger, who was left $150, were chil- dren of Emil Beyer’s wife by a former marriage. Gustave adopted his bot (| WORK LESS AND | ) CLEAN MORE Your house isn’t really clean un- less you use a vacuum cleaner.
