The submerine ‘was cut in two. Every member of the crew of 26 was drowned. The accident occurred during the prac- tice mdneuvers of the Ffench fltet be- tween Aurigny Island and Cape Hague, in the Race of Alderney, where violent tidal currents prevail. The battleship was steaming along quietly when the Vendemiaire appeared right under the bows of the warship. There was no time to avoid a collision and the next moment the stem of the St. Louis struck the submarine with ter- rific force, driving the latter below the surface. ‘The engines of the warship had been quickly reversed, but when she was brought to a stop the submarine had disappeared and only a threshing of the waters showed where the under-the-sur- face fighter had gone down. The Vendemiaire was commanded by Lieut. Prioul, a young ensign, and a crew of 25 men. She was launched on July 7, 1910, and was the ninth vessel of the Pluviose type added to the French navy. She was 167 feet in length, with a beam of 16 feet. The Vendemiaire sank in. 25 fathoms.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDER LEFT TO CROW He Declares Unless Speedy Settlement Is Reached the Matter Will Be Taken to the District Court and He Will Act. WASHINGTON, June 8.—The conten- tion of former Judge Henry S. Priest that the Terminal Railroad Association and the 14 proprietary railroads alone were authorized by the Supreme Court's decision in the Terminal case to write the final decree to be entered by the United States District Court at St. Louis was characterized as absurd by Attor- ney-General Wickersham in an interview with the Post-Dispatch’s Washington correspondent today. Attorney-General Wickersham was told that Judge Priest, in an argument before Judge Dyer of the United States District Court in St. Louis Thursday, declared that E. C. Crow, special coun- sel for the Department of Justice, had no authority to write either a prelimi- nary or final decree, and that it was not incumbent upon the Terminal and its proprietary lines to consult him or con- fer with him. Absurd, Says Wickersham, When the Attorney-General was told that Judge Priest contended that. the word ‘‘parties’’ in the paragraph direct- ing the parties to agree to a final decree abolishing ‘the bridge arbitrary at St. Louis and opening the terminal facilities on equal terms to all railroads within 90 days after the filing of the mandate Louis referred only to the Ter- minal and its property lines, he said: “It is absurd for Judge Priest to as- sert that the word parties in the de- cision of the Supreme Court means any- thing else than the parties to the suit— the Government on the one hana and the Terminal Railroad Association on the other. “Mr. Priest will find out, too, that the Republican National Committee in Session to Consider Contests WOMEN STOP EARS AT PUBLIC Sond ~ LECTUREON SEX Doctors Will Veil Expressions Be- fore Mothers; Talk From Shoulder to Fathers. CHICAGO, Jurfe 8.—That the mothers an& matrons of Chicago will not listen to unexpurgated lectures on the sex problem, was demonstrated, when men and women physicians began their first series of talks on sex hygiene in public schools. Fashionable mothers, who have chil- dren growing into manhood and woman- hood, came in stylish gowns to attend the sex instruction, and refused to give ear to terms used only for the purpose of teaching them to guard their chil- dren’s lives. Some of. them placed their fingers to their ears when the physicians spoke in plain English concerning the effecis of gay revels and midnight hours. So great was the antagonism exhibit- ed by some of the mothers that the women physicians, who have been se- lected by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, super- intendent of schools, to deliver lectures, have decided to modify their language. The lecture will continue until June 18, during which time every school in Chi- cago will be reached.

I do not like to report favorably on such measures until I am convinced that residents in that locality do not object to the measure.” A bill introduced by Councilman Rower authorizes the erection of a loading platform in front of the Regal Buggy Co.’s factory. at Eleventh and Howard streets. It was passed by the House of Delegates at the last session, but died in a committee in the Council It was reintroduced at the present session. Protzmann, as a member of the Pub- lic Improvements Committee, to which the bill was referred, went to the buggy headquarters and talked over the plans with Cathey. According to the letter written by Cathey to Councilman Lehmberg, chair- man. of the committee, Protzmann told Cathey that he saw no objection to the bill and indicated that he would report {t favorably for passage. The bill was held up later on the ree- ommendation of Protzmann and no re- port has been made by the committee. In his letter to Lehmberg, Cathey asks this question: “Do you think it is pos- sible that the fact of our having no busi- ness -to offer Councilman Protzmann could have had any influence toward causing him such a complete change of mind?” Continuing, the letter states: “I am sorry to think that a firm which is as large a taxpayer in St. Louis as we are would have to extend personal favors to members of the Municipal Assembly for such little conveniences as we ask.”’ Asked About Insurance, Cathey said Saturday that before Protzmann left his office he asked him who carried the insurance for his firm. He was told that Delegate Oviatt had charge of the firm's insurance and had carried it for years. Protzgmann then handed Cathey ecard, bearing his name as an insurance broker and real estate dealer, according to Cathey. ‘ause he {is that his 25 REPORTED.

WASHINGTON, June 8.—The United States is paying homage today to the discoverer of America, by the unveiling of a magnificent memorial fountain, erected here by Congress to Christopher Columbus. One hundred thousand visitors crowd- ed within the city, according to esti- mates of committees conducting the ceremonies. Half of that number are members of the Knights of Columbus, gathered from near and far, to give tribute to the patron of their order. Imposing unveiling exercises, in which President Taft spoke, marked the day.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL: CONVENTION PLANT FOR RAISING $5 BILLS [0 $10 1S SEIZED Ward and Find Dies and Inks Concealed in B:d—Two Men Admit Passing Al- tsred Currency for Ward. ” United States Secret Service Agent E. J. McHugh, assisted by a squad of po- licemen, raided rooms in two lodging houses on South Seventh street at 2 a. m. Saturday, and made arrests which, McHugh says, he expects will stop the cireulation of raised $10 bills which have been passed in great numbers in St. Louis for the past 10 months. Sixty of the bills have been discovered by bankers in thar time, At the Ironsides Hotel, 107 South Sev- enth street, James Ward was arrested, and between the springs and mattress of his bed McHugh and the pvlice found a complete outfit for raising bills, in- cluding dies and inks, and three 55 bills which had been raised to $10. At 119 South Seventh street they ar- rester Peter Gratia, 36 years old. They found no incriminating evidence in Warrants were issued Saturday morn- ing charging each of the three men with “changing and altering United States currency.”’ Against Ward an additional charge was made of having implements and materia! for counterfeiting in his posses- sion. His bond was fixed at $4000 and the others were held in $2000 each. None of them could furnish bonds. They will be given a hearing before United States Commissioner Irvine Mitchell next Tues- da T ® manner in which the bills were raised, as explained to the police, was by scratching the figure 5 from the % bill with a sharp knife, wherever it ap- peared. The ngures 10 were then in- serted in the scratched place by means of the die and ink. The scrolled effect which appears about the figures having been partly scratched away in the removal of the figure 5 was then filled in with a pen and ink. The ®ord five was also changed to ten. With some of the bills the counter- feiters appeared to be in haste, and wile they ehanged the ‘“‘F”’ to a “T’’ and the “ve” to “‘n,”’ they left the “‘i’’ unchanged, making the word read ‘'Tin,’’ instead of ‘*Ten.”’ Some of the bills showed evidence that great care was exercised in the altering and the work was so well done that it would be detected only by one taking a good look at the bill. If the bills were handled hurriedly the changes, accord- ing to the police, would escape even a practiced eye. The raids were conducted on informa- tion supplied by Samuel O. Cohn, 22 years old, of 1814 Olive street, who was arrested Friday night by Policeman Vogle after he had attempted to pass one of the raised bills at the saloon of Wil- liam Hannaman, 4826 North Broadway.

The police called McHugh and after an hour's ouestioning by McHugh, Sergeant Burke and Policeman George Tabb, Cohn ad- mitted having passed several other raised bills.

He then took a squad of policemen to the two addresses on South Seventh street. At the Ironsides Hotel, they had difficulty in gaining entrance to Ward's room. He made no answer to their de- mands for admission, but they heard him moving about, and announced they would break open the door if it was not opened. Ward then opened the door. He was immediately handcuffed, while the room was searched. Cohn, who had been tak- en along, indicated that Ward was one of the men. When they took the inat- tress off the bed they found under it a tin box. This contained a bottle of green ink, a bottle of black ink ard three lead dies bearing the number 19 in different sizes. Gratia and Ward were taken to the Angelica Street Station, where they are being held for action by the Federal authorities. Cohn told McHugh that he had passed four of the bills in the last three days, and said Ward and Gratia gave him 2.50 for each one he was able to pass. One of the bills was passed on Michael Goldwasser, proprietor of a clothing store at 701 Morgan street. Could Make “Easy Money.” At the Angelica Street Station Cohn told a Post-Dispatch reporter that Ward had first broached the subject of raising bills when he, Ward and Gratia were working in East St. Louis. He said Ward told them he knew a way they could make ‘“‘easy money.” They went tc his home, then at 117 North Ninth street, Cohn said, and saw Ward change several bills. Gratia's story was practically the same as Colin’s. Gratia said he had passed some of the bills, but did not nemember the number. Ward, who heard the statements of Cohn and Gratia, denied their truth. He said he had no connection with the change of the bills, that he did not know how the box of inks and the dies came to be in his bed, and that he did not know they were there until they were found by the police. —— a ey NATIONAL LEAGUE. i °2-3 6 @ OC. 8 a CARDINALS AT PHILADELPHIA, T@@l OC O PHILADEL PHIA.

He said he thought the 1908 action had been a mistake. Calls It Thuggery. “We want to do everything in a regular manner,” said Holt, “but how can we when we are met at the door by thugs armed with clubs and 45s? Unless you want to put your seal of approval on such thugsery, you will have to seat our delegates.” Wallace ‘Townsend, representing the Taft faction, declared the “Red- ding committee,” under which the Roosevelt convention was held, had gone out of existence in 1908, while the “Clayton committee” had acted as the regular cominittee in 1910 and had maintained its regularity. He denied any armed men had guarded the doors of the Pulaski County con- vention hall. “The only of the Roosevelt men,” “Holt had a cane wrapped metal and others of them had canes. “Gus Remell, cousin of H.

Effort to Seat Both Fails. When the matter was put to Committeeman Burnam of Kentucky, a Roosevelt man, moved to substitute for the motion to seat the Taft delegates a provision for the seating of both dele- gations. This was defeated by the first test vote of the day, 42 to 3. The original motion to seat the Taft men was carried by a viva voce vote. The next case from Arkansas, that in the Seventh District, which includes a group of 11 counties in the southern part of the State, then was taken up and the delegates awarded to Taft. Opening of Session Uneventful. Rumors of an intended protest from the Roosevelt members against some of the actions in yesterday’s commit- tee meeting were not borne out in the early part of the session. There were no motions made, and the committee clubs there were those he declared. with vote, ~~ took up the contest hearing at once. 7 Sol x5 Senator Borah, who has been thus far the spokesman for the anti-Taft forces, Was not in the committee room when the roll] was called. J. A. Tawney of Minnesota was ad- mitted on a proxy. State Senator Wil- liam Flinn of Pittsburg, who came on § assist in the Roosevelt battle, did not appear at the Coliseum. Delegates from Florida reached the city last night and niembers of the committee expected that the Florida eases would be reached today. No at- tempt will be made to consider the Fourth California District case until Monday. As a result of previous work of the committee to tally of delegates this morning (discounting unsupported claims), shows these figures: For Taft 403, needed by Taft 137. For Roosevelt 392, needed for Roose- velt 148. For La Follette 36, for Cummins 10, contested 210, umcertain 272. Of the contests heard only two ap- pealed to the Roosevelt members of the committee. One was that in the Ninth Alabama District, where the supporters of the Colonel declared they had ~ “good case.’’ That brought out the full strength of the Roosevelt following— 16 out of the 53 members.

CHICAGO, June 8.

The nation might as well know the truth. ‘“‘Three minutes before the roll was called on this contest Senator Mur- ray Crane of Massachusetts walked over to Mr. Stephenson of Colorado, who holds the proxy of Senator Scott of West Virginia, and said to him: ‘We simply cannot afford to go on record in this case against seat- ing the Roosevelt delegates; the case is so plain the country will not stand for it.’ “Mr. Stephenson replied: ‘We have to do it.

Cecil Lyon Doesn’t Expect to Get Warm Until He Goes Back to Texas. CHICAGO, June 8.—A cold breeze off Lake Michigan brought out a queer combination of overcoats and straw hats and led to many comments from visit- ing Republicans concerning the Chicago climate. Senator Murray Crane of Mas- sachusetts, who is anything but cor- pulent, and Committeeman Cecil A. Lyon, who hails from ‘Texas, were among those who found no enjoyment In trying to keep warm. Senator Crane kept on the move, with hands in his pockets, in the committee room during the day. “Why so nervous?” he was asked by Lyon. “Not nervous—cold,” replied the Sena- tor. “Say,” said Lyon, ‘‘I don’t hope to get warm again until I get back to Texas.”’ es PRICES UP FOR THE CONVENTION

CHICAGO, June 8.—William Jennings Bryan has been furnished tickets for the convention by none other than Vic- tor Rosewater, chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee, also a Ne- braskKan. It is said certain others from that State were making merry over the ru- mor that Mr. Bryan would not obtain a seat in the convention, because of the heavy demand for seats. Mr. Rose- water heard of the matter and at once wrote Mr. Bryan as follows: “T am enclosing you two tickets of ad- mission to the coming national conven- tion of the Republican party—one for yourself and one for Mrs. Bryan.” Mr. Bryan knows almost as much about Republican conventions as he does about Democratic conventions. In 1896, a few days before he was nominated by the Democrats, he attended the Repub- lican convention in St. Louis. He went as a newspaper man and reported the proceedings for an Omaha paper. He will write for the Post-Dispatch his im- pressions of the Chicago convention this year. ALASKAN VOLCANO IN STATE OF ERUPTION Seismograph at Seattle Records Disturbance Which Sent Ash Shower Probably 200 Miles. SEATTLE, Wash., June 8.—The belch- ing of one Alaska volcano is recorded on’ the seismograph of the University of Washington. About noon yesterday the needle began to tremble, and until about 1 o’clock this morning the dis- turbance was almost continuous. The heaviest shock occurred at 12:18 o'clock this morning. The record is not that of an earth- quake, but of an eruption. There are three “smoking” volcanies in the region northwest of Cook’s Inlet visible from the coast. It is supposed that one of the three—Iliamna, Redoubt or St. Au- gustine—has broken out. The volcanic ash shower that covered Cordova yesterday must have come from the same place. In the air of Alaska sound is carried an incredible distance and the “cannonading’’ heard in Cordova might have originated 200 miles away.

WORK NOT NEEDED NOW He Will Write Bill Doing Away With Fees and Urge It Be- © fore Legislature. Percy Werner, who has become a can- didate for Public-Administrator at the call of prominent business men, is in the unique position of running for an office which he thinks should be abol- ished and has pledged himself to work for its abolishment. The public administratorship is a fee office and pays about $25,000 @ year. Fees for attorneys and others employed by the administrator amount to about $1000 a month. Declaring Saturday that he is not seeking the office for personal benefit but out of a desire to correct the evils which cluster about it, Werner said: “I have grave doubts whether under modern conditions this ancient office ought to be retained at all. Certainly, with the many agencies in a large city, police and revenue officers, trust and surety companies and the means of quick travel and transmission of intelli- sence, it ought to be necessary only tn rare instances to place estates under the control of a public administrator. Will Write a Bill. “The persons of the insane and of minors are already otherwise cared for. - I believe that if retained the office should be filled: by the Probate Judge; fees not to exceed a specified maximum amount equivalent to a salary, and estates taken charge of by the Public Administrator. only where, after a rea- sonable time, trustworthy persons, indi- viduals or trust companies interested in the estate do not come forward. “I shall, after consultation with cer- tain lawyers, prepare a draft of a new bill covering the office, in the hope that it can be passed at the next session of the Legislature.”’ These Support Werner.

WILL HOLD OWN PLACE Head of Institution Says His Health Is Improving, but Of- ficials Need Help. Charles H. Huttig, president of the Third National Bank, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter Saturday that F. W. Watts, president of the First National Bank of Nashville, Tenn.. had been in- vited to become vice-president of the Third National. .-& meeting of the directors of the First National Bank at Nashville will be held next Tuesday, after which Mr. Watts will let us know whether he will join our force,’’ said Huttigz. ‘Thefe are several reasons why we wish to obtain the services of Mr. Watts. ‘IT shall not be able to return actively to work as president of the bank wntil September. George W. Galbreath, our vice-president, is ill and has gone to California to recover his health. “These conditions, together with the fact that the business of the Third Na- tional Bank is growing faster than that of any other bank in the country, makes it necessary for us to increase our executive staff. “My health is improving steadily, and I shall be able to resume all my duties in September. Henlth Is Improving. “I am going away shortly for my summer vacation, and when I come back I expect to be just as active in the bank as formerly. Mr. Galbreath will return when he recovers his health. “With my own health improving right along, I have no intention of re- tiring from the presidency. I have known Mr. Watts for 2 years. He is a splendid banker. I first knew him when he went to Union City, Tenn., and built up a small bank. Later, he went to Nashville, where he has made a great success."”’ Big Salary Report Dented. The report that Watts, as vice-pres- ident of the Third National, -would get a salary of $25,000 a year, was denied by officials of the bank. President Huttig has not been on ac- tive duty at the bank for a year. He underwent two surgical operations in New York, where he spent nearly a year under the care of physicians. He returned to St. Louis a few weeks ago, and goes to the bank each business day for a conference with the directors. PIONEER DROWNS HIMSELF Illinoisan’s Wife Burned to Death Few Days Ago in Home.

Fifty members of the Associated Re- tailers of St. Louis attended the meet- ing of the House to urge the passage of ‘the Reber approach bill. The retailers, after an investigation of the several pro- posed approaches, recommended unani- mously the Reber approach, with an ex- tension to the Denverside yards. The members of the Association Re- tailers pleaded with the members of the House of Delegates to end the bridge delay by passing the Reber approaches They declared that the building of the bridge would open up for St. Louis busi- ness the entire southern portion of II''- nois and bring millions of dollars’ woi of business annually to the city. Besides losing the $350 a day interest on the bridge bonds, the Retailers de- clared the city was losing a much great- er sum every day by not being prepared to do business with the people of South- ern Tilinois. The retailers wore badges bearing the inscription, “Complete the sridge.”’ Eflers Is Favorable. oy M. Eilers, chairman of the Rail- round Committee, is im favor of the hKteber approach. He was chairman of the joint committee of the House and Council which held up the approach bills for five months before making a report. The delay caused by the joint committee resulted in a direct financial loss of more than $60,000 to the city. No further action on the Reber ap- proach bill can be taken until the com- m'‘ttee reports on it. The Alton & Mississippi approach bill is also pending before this committee. This bill has been under consideration by this committee since the opening of the session April 15 and no report has been made. The dilatory tactics of the committee do not forecast an early re- port on the Associated Retailers’ recom- mendation. Four of the seven members of the committee are outspoken adherents of the Alton & Mississippi approach. They are Delegates Methudy, Walker, Scully and Gallagher. The other three mem- bers favor the Reber approach, but are powerless to act without the consent of the opposition majority. Northeast Bill Is Defeated. An unsuccessful effort to reintroduce the ordinance for the adoption of the northeast, or Gerhart, approach was made Friday night. The friends of the bill failed to muster the necessary 19 votes to suspend the rules and allow the measure to be introduced. The motion was lost by a vote of 16 to 6. Frank Gerhart, who drew the north- east bill and has persistently urged its adoption for almost two years, occupied a seat in the House while the vote wus taken defeating the bill. The northeast approach bill was passed by the House two weeks ago and was killed in the City Council. Under the rules of the Municipal Assembly no bi]! ——————

after it is defeated. Delegate Ebrecht made the motion to suspend the cules and allow the bill to again be presented for action. That a plan was on foot to delay ac- tion on the Reber approach bill was in- dicated soon after the House was called to order. Delegate Hale made a motion that 50 copies of the pending approach bills be printed and distributed to the members of the House, and it was |passed. About four days are required to have bills printed. This indicates that further delay will be attempted at tte meeting next Tuesday night if the print- ed bills are not delivered at that time. Hale’s Bill Is Killed. The steam roller was run over Hale’s Cahokia Creek approach bill. It was killed by a vote of 20 to 4 over violent protest and extended argument of. Hale. The bill calling for the repeal of the Southern Traction Co. franchise was sent to engrossment without a vote. This delays consideration until next Tues- day. After this action many members of the Associated Retailers left the House chamber. In addition to support- ing the Reber approach they sought de- feat of the Southern Traction franchise. Opponents and adherents of all of the bridge bills attended the session of the House. The Associated Retailers repre- sented the Reber approach contingent. I'rank Gerhart and Cornelius Fauntle- roy attended to urge the reintroduction of the northeast approach bill and the epeal of the Southern Traction Co. fran- chise. Labor Opposes Reber Approach. J. P. McDonough represented the Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union in its op- position to the Reber approach. Leo J. Scherrer was present to care for the interests of the Alton & Mississippi approach. Councilmen Fletcher and Haller mingled with the delégates in opposition to the Reber approach and to aid in the reintroduction of the Ger- hart approach bill. John Kratz, brother of former Coun- Feilman Charles Kratz, explained why the Southern Traction franchise should not be reepaled. Last Tuesday night Kratz appeared on the floor of the House in company with Jeptha D. Howe, at whose request the franchise was granted at the last session. Cap Troll entered the House chamber at 8:30 -—p. m. and after talking a few minutes with Delegate Mohrstadt, took a seat at Delegate Gallagher’s desk. He held a sort of informal reception to delegates, who went to shake hands with, him, Becker, Gallagher and Gie- gerich assisted informally in the receiv- ing line and made way for other mem- bers who desired to greet Troll.

Louis Cella, owner of five buildings east of the American Hotel between Sixth and .Seventh streets on Market street, which were condemned by Build- ing Commissioner McKelvey Friday, had a contractor at work strengthening them late Friday afternoon, a few. hours after he received official notice of their con- dition. In the notices tacked on the buildings by Commissioner McKelvey, Cella was given three days in which to make re- pairs necessary to put the buildings in a safe condition, or tear them down. After that time, the Building Commis- sioner, under the law, would be em- powered to tear down the structure or summon Cella into court on a charge of maintaining unsafe buildings. Cella told a Post-Dispatch reperter that as soon as he received’ notice that the condition of the buildings were dan- serous, he instructed a contractor to put them in a safe condition. “I knew nothing about it until this morning,”” said Cella, ‘and I got busy right away. Whatever is necessary will be done to put them in a perfectly safe condition.’’ The action of the Building Commis- sioner was taken after the police had re- ported that a portion of the rear wall of the building at 605 Market street had fallen out and that there was danger of a collapse of the building. An inspector made an examination and reported the building unsafe. He also said that if that building collapsed those on either side of it would go down at the same time. On this report, Commissioner McKel- vey condemned the buildings at 601, 603, 605, 607 and 609 Market street.

few minutes before .workmen began repairing it, showed that about a dozen bricks had fallen from the rear wall, just above the first story, and that there were other loose bricks in the wall. Tenants of the condemned buildings said they were not afraid of a collapse, and that they would not move. Nearly all of them had paid their rent in ad- vance. The buildings are among the oldest in downtown St. Louis, having been erected long before the Civil War. They are three stories in height. They are occupied by a saloon, a shoe store, a Chinese restaurant, a shooting gal- lery and two lodging houses. Robert Egeloff, proprietor of a sa- loon at 601 Market street, said the build- ing he was in was inspected a year ago, and pronounced safe. He said he was told that it would not have been condemned had not the inspector be- lieved that the adjoining building was not safe, and that if it collapsed the saloon building would also go down. ede

READING, Pa., June 8 —Thomas Brossman, a farmer of Sinking Spring, came in today with a turkey story he did not tell to everybody. He fears it will put him in the “nature faker’ class. Two months ago one of Brossman’s turkeys disappeared, and he supposed it had returned to the wild state. This rforning Brossman was digging near an old haystack, when he heard a faint noise. He dug into the stack, and reached an emaciated turkey, the miss- ing member of his flock. Seattered around the turkey were the shells of 42 turkey eggs. Brossman says he counted them. When the tur- key became hungry she simply laid an egg and ate it. Brossman thinks the fowl could have gone on living for- ever through the perpetual motion pro- cess. The turkey got into the haystack through a small hole made by chickens, could not get out.

gagement of Miss Newberry to Capt. Alleyne, was one of true love, parental disapproval, new scenes and new ac- quaintances sought to efface the old memories, and the impulsive plighting of troth for the purpose of completely putting the old life behind. This is gleaned from the stories of close ac- quaintances of the Newberrys, but ‘‘ruman H. Newberry denies that young Brooks had anything to do with his daughter’s change of sentiment toward the British captain. “My daughter's engagement to Capt. Av,xyne was the impulsive act of a young girl, of which she afterward re- pented,”’ he said today. “Capt. Alleyne came here this. week with full knowl- edge of the existing state of my daugh- ter’s mind. He requested that we defer announcement of the breaking of the engagement until after he could reach here and personally see my daughter. “Capt. Alleyne acted the part of a gen- tleman from the start. The whole affair was an unfortunate mistake. I regret exceedingly Capt. Alleyne’s disappoint- ment and admire and respect him for his gallant and gentlemanly bearing through the ordeal. The articles published re- garding the matter were substantially correct. The only thing I objected to was the dragging in of that young fel- low’s name. He had nothing to do with Rag But the friends of the young folks tell that it was known among them that when the attentions of Brooks to Miss Newberry became marked she was urged by her father and mother to es- chew his society. They met very often at different functions, however, and the family suddenly left for Bermuda to spend the remainder of the winter. Capt. Alleyne was one of the first to make their acquaintance. In five weeks She had capitulated. But Bermuda was hardly hull down before Miss Newber- ry began to realize her actual interest in Capt. Alleyne. The renewal of old ac- quaintances, and especially of one par- ticular acquaintance, at home, accentu- ated her knowledge of the fact that she did not love the Captain, but had only been captivated by his dashing manners. DARROW TRIAL SHIFTS TO NEW COURTROOM Bert Franklin, Under Cross-Ex- amination for Week, on Stand Again Today. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 8&—The trial of Clarence S. Darrow on the in- dictment charging him with the bribery of a McNamara juror had its last ses- sion today in the little courtroom of Judge Hutton in the Hall of Justice, where the McNamara brothers received their sentences. When adjournment was taken this noon until next Monday the work of moving the new Hall of Records was begun. It was expected that when court opened today the testimony of Bert H. Franklin would be concludéd before the end of the brief session. Franklin, who was formerly the chief detective of the McNamara defense, took the stand May 28 and has been under examination almost continuously since that date. It was a week ago today that his cross-examination was begun. He has borne the grueling ordeal with re- markable composure. Members of the prosecution expressed the opinion that C. E. White, the alleged stakeholder of the Lockwood ° bribe money, would be:called to the stand be- fore today’s adjournment.

The Crown Prince prob- ably thought it would be a joke to de- feat his father, but the Kaiser did not eee it that way, for when he learned of his son's action he was much displeased. While the Crown Prince’s boat prob- ably will be entered, it is said the Kaiser has refused to allow it to compete in the same race with his yacht.

She left several boxes of onions on the ground while she went into the house for a few minutes, and when she returned ‘she saw a Jersey cow, owned by Henry Heinsohn, a neighbor, eating the onions. She picked up a small stick and at- tempted to drive the animal away. The cow turned on her, made a lunge, and one horn struck her on the breast, turning her partly around. The animal then attacked her again, this time one of the horns penetrating her left side. The animal then charged again and again, once more the horn penetrating the side to the ribs. This time the horns pinned Mrs. Wilkens to a fence, and the animal] gored her until she fell down and rolled partly under the fence. Her screams attracted the attention ef the workmen who hurried to her afd. When they reached her, she was ap- parently out of danger of further at- tacks from the cow, but the animal’s horns were covered with shreds of her clothes and one horn fastened her skirt to the fence. Dr. H. T. Randle of Clayton, who attended her, said Saturday her con- dition is critical.

eEe—eEeEEee Millions Paid for Brains Every Woman in the Unit- ed States. In a letter from this place, Miss Amelia Wilson says: ‘‘I have only used two bottles of Cardui, and I think it the greatest medicine on varth for women. ‘‘Before I began to use Cardui, I was so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy spells. I had no appetite at all. ‘‘Since taking Cardui, I. feel as strong as ever, do not have the dizzy spells any more, and can eat most anything I want. ‘¢You are perfectly welcome to pub- lish my testimonial, for Cardui has certainly been a blessing to me, and I cannot praise it too highly.’’— Alma, Ark. These nervous, dizzy spells, which Miss Wilson describes, are very common symptoms of womanly trou- ble, and should be given the proper treatment to prevent a _ general breakdown. Although Cardui has been know?P, in thousands of the most ‘serious cases, to bring relief and eventually effect a cure, still, it is better not to let the trouble go too far. For over fifty years, Cardui has been building up weak, nervous women to strength and health. It will do the same for you, given a fair trial. Get a bottle today. At the nearest drug store. N.

There is no worse danger when the kidneys are weak than the big family of ‘‘uric acid troubles,’’ and so, when you notice that the kidneys have been affegted, do not be surprised if you begin to have rheumatic muscles and joints, nerve pains and nervousness, headaches and dizziness, heart weak- ness and dropsy, attacks of stone and gravel, deafness and poor eyesight. The filtering of uric acid from the system falls upon the kidneys and if the kidneys are inactive, uric acid overloads the blood. Instead of nour- ishing the tissues, the blood starves and irritates them. Uric acid has the habit of attacking the weakest part first. er will have nerve trouble or rheu- matism. A strong, healthy-appearing person will be liable to gravel, or stone, heart trouble, dropsy, or gout.

And the heavy faces bloom In the wonderful Slavic way; The little, dull eyes, the brows a-gloom, Suddenly dawn like the day.

(Houghton-Mifflin.) THE NARROW WAY. aT Street Called Straight” is by the author of ‘‘The Inner Shrine,’’ which was, if not one of the best sellers, an immensely popu- lar novel. The title is taken from the New England gaying: “By the street called Straight we come to the house called Beautiful,” and the first allusion to the title is when Henry Guion makes the assertion that tragic interest never pertains to persons who stick to the ~ “Street Called Straight.’’ Now Henry Guion has, at the opening of this story, wandered far from the straight, broad avenues of good con- . duct, and has reached the point where _ soul.” he plunge he has taken threatens to land him in prison, on the very eve of the marriage ’ daughter, Olivia, to Rupert Ashley of of his very beautiful the Sussex Rangers.

(Harper’s.) al hearted little poem by Ripley D. Saunders of the Post-Dispatch, which made its first appearance in print some ten years ago, is now published in attractive booklet form, with illum- inated gold letters and in covers of a delicate shade of blue, by the University Art Shop of Evanston, Ill., an estab- lishment which, located in Chicago’s most aristrocratic and cultured suburb, devotes its effort to the beautiful pre- sentation of worthy poetry. The little Saunders song of uplift has been many times reprinted since its original publi- cation and now is quite pleasingly pre- sented in its more ambitious guise. _— ~e- O A ST. LOUIS POEM. UST BEING HAPPY,” a light- “THE DEVIL’S WIND.” Surely it was madness; a wind from the devil was abroad in Hin- doostan. HIS reply of the Sepoys when asked + why they joined the Great Mutiny half a century ago, gives Patricia Wentworth the title for her new story. The principal characters first find them- selves involved in an odd, if not bore- some, love affair, in England. Even- tually their destinies lead them all to India. Here .the novelist hits her stride and there ceases to be any suggestion of artificiality in her work. The story becomes a brilliant and accurate account of the Sepoy rebellion, one of the most extraordinary and thrilling chapters in all English history. It is both pleasant and instructive reading and the love story is so artfully interwoven with the history that it takes on the aspect of a great world interest drama. (Putnam’s.) A PROPHETESS OF PEACE. IANA AGABEG APCAR is a ) prophetess in exile. She escaped to Japan from somewhere in the vicinity of Mount Lebanon. In escaping she took with her all the needed knowl- edge of ‘‘Werld Politics’ and the “Con- cert of the Powers,’ which belong to education gained through the massacre of her Armenian kin, repeated often enough, before and since she reached Japan, to give her the “historical imagi- nation.’’ When she writes of what to others are dry facts of routine in State reports, she can see women caught by the hair and dragged naked with scime- tars raised over them. She hears the sputtering of bullets against the walls of homes and the crackling fire of rifles, growing nearer as women barricade doors while their fathers and brothers are retreating after a last stand in the street. It is all so real, so vivid to her that when she writes on “The Peace prob- lem,”” the Sybil could not be more fully inspired nor the Vala more eloquent. She knows the Bible, Old and New, as she knows “world-politics,” and she comes nearer knowing both “by heart’ than most diplomates. She pleads for peace in the name of Christianity against what she calls “the curse of the world—Imperialism.”” She quotes the | words: of Christ to Christians through } | page after as if the thought they would have the force of international law. Then de- spairing, she declares that the only way to begin the reign of ‘“‘peace on earth, good will to men,” is to begin by con- verting Christians to Christianity, espe- cially Russians and Germans. That. is the “Peace Problem,”’ as she defines it. She longs for peace with a great longing. Her only greater long- ing is to see Turkey wiped from the map, if all the Young Turks and Old Turks in existence are wiped out with it. Knowledge of “world-politics,”” ab- solute sincerity and burning eloquence characterize this inspired appeal.

Tl.e book is called ‘“‘Toby” and is de- scribed as “a story of Kentucky life.” A slight incongruity is that both moun- tulneers and typical planters live at the scene of action, but they are needed. ‘“Tabv”’ is the man who is sold and, of course, he is not an ordinary vagrant or there would have’ been no story to write A bit of feud, equity society, 'moonshining and mint juleps are no- ‘tliced as “Toby” climbs to his proper ,osition in life and wins for a wife the girl who bought him. It is rather clev- erly and excitingly done. (Small-May- nard), -_—_-- MEMOIRS OF A MOLLYCODDLE. HE English author, W. B. Maxwell, has added to his interesting se- ries of character novels one entitieu “In Cotton Wool,’’ which is a 400-page biography of a wealthy mollycoddle. The “hero” has the soul of a louse in a big, handsome body. His career opens auspiciously, but ends in ruin, due to ‘his insufferable egoism. We see him, in the first chapters, apparently devoted to the comfort of his invdlid father. He seems to be a model of duty and self- sacrifice. He gives up his desire to serve his country as a soldier during the Boer War, so that he may devote himself to his father’s declining years. And he does many things which help to make him the ido] of the little town where he resides. But a comfortable income, enabling him to live in idleness and luxury after his father’s death, saps whatever virility he may have originally possessed, and he becomes a mere guardian of his own personal safety and comfort, to which his relatives, friends, and even his be- trothed are sacrificed. He balks at mar- riage, takes the easiest way in every crisis and finally, after years of folly and uselessness, winds up in a mad- house. Just before this, he gets a clear glimpse of ‘the truth regarding himself. “The enttrely self-centered man is al- ways a man slowly killing himself. If for no other reason, every wise man should keep alive numerous altruistic motives; he should nourish them and stimulate them; and if opportunities do not present themselves, he should vigor- ously hunt for any means of self-sac- rifice.”’ He sees this and tries desperately to mend his life, but it is too late. His will has been paralyzed and atrophied by years of cowardly refusal to face the world of realities. (Appleton.) A TALE OF THE CANARYS, ( Z 3 HE KNIGHTLY YEARS,” by W. M. Ardagh. When “Isabella the Catholic” was Queen of Spain, the Canary Island was a Spanish pos- session and it is on the seven larger islands of this group that this story car- ries us, for it was over these that Don Diexzo de Herrera was lordin his wife’s right. Then their Catholic majesties forced him to sell three of the islands and sent Juan Rejon to conquer them. IDjcego de Herrera’s oldest son, Hernan Peraza, was Governor of Gomera, and when Juan Rejon happened to be ship- wrecked on that island and the zealous rervants of Herman Peraza took him to the Governor dead because he would not go alive, it seemed an incident not worth a second thought. Not so did it appear to his widow, who took her appeal to their majesties at Castile, with the result that Hernan Peraza journeyed to Castile to be tried for murder. Hie was found guilty and came near being executed at oncé, but was thrown inco prison for a year and then his life Was saved by marrying at the Queen’s command the King’s favorite. Hernan Peraza’s body-servant clung to him affectionately through all the term of his imprisonment, and, strangely enough, saves his own life by marry- ing the romance of the young, shy an4d blindly Doramillo and his young child life is delightful. And the stirring adventures that be- fal! Dormillo from the day Hernan senis him back to Gomera on mission in his behalf to the end of the book, give you thrill after thrill and it would seem that each one must be his last, but the plucky little Lancerotan stub- bornly defies fate and each time lives to fight another day. (Lane). “GREATEST ENGLISH CLASSIC.” T is not Shakspeare, as you would probably guess first, that is treated in this interesting little book, but King James’ version of the Bible, the tercentenary of which has just been cele- brated. The volume is composed of a series of lectures delivered by Dr. Clel- and B. McAfee on the historical evolu- tion and the literary characteristics of this monumental work which has been of world-wide importance. Some space is devoted to a considera- tion of the English Bible before the ad- vent of the great version that all En- glish-speaking peoples eventually adopt- ed as their own and which even those who reject its religious teachings stil. accept as the world’s greatest prose poem. After the results of his historical in- vestigations are presented, the author takes up its tremendous influence on ' page with earnestness as deep civilization in England and Amer- ica and the large ‘part . it = still plays in the life —af-- today. He attributes the development of the lofty character of the early Americans to the emphasis our forefathers’ placed upon the Bible as the fundamenta! guide to human conduct. The alleged growing weakness in our social and political life today is ascribed by him to our increasing neglect of the book_that has had a greater share than any other agency in shaping our free institutions, and he urges its restoration to former authority in regulating our manners and habits of living. (Harper’s.) A BOOK FOR PRACTICAL PERSONS. oad rates. But he does throw light on many of the difficulties attending rate- making, and the task of the railroad op- erators to furnish efficiency with ecen- omy. The chapters on waterways are espe- cially interesting. In them the author points out quite truly that railroad rates must not be compared with freight rates on the ocean or on the Great Lakes, but with water rates by artificia] waterways, which have right of way and terminals to maintain, and he shows clearly that, if the object is not to cheapen transportation actually, but merely to lessen its cost to the shipper, that might be achieved at lower cost by paying railroads a bonus per ton of freight in some cases, than by con- structing a costly artificial waterway. From actual data Mr. Dunn shows that the rate per ton per mile on Amert- can railways is less than the rate on French and German waterways, and a that the cost of transportation on the Erie Canal in 1909 was 8.61 mills per ton per mile as compared with rates oa competing railroads of: New York Cen- tral, 6.2 mills; Erie, 6.1 mills; Lackawan- na, 7.4 mills; Lehigh Valley, 6.4 mills. The volume contains a good deal of other data concerning engineering aud other features of waterways as com- pared with railroads, which would be educational reading for many deep- Wwa- terway advocates who do not under- stand the practical necessities without which no deep waterway can compete with railways. (Appleton). A Cc. Smith’s book, “How to Grow One Hundred Bushels of Corn Per Acre on Worn Soils,’ is of great value to farmers in the corn belt.

This vetch, which grows like any weed, cost but $% per acre for seed. Sown in the fall, it grows to a length of four or five feet by the middle of the following May, when it is a tangle of vegetation, hav- ing also induced the depositing of a large quantity of nitrogen in the soil. Turned under with the disk plow, the only implement capable of dealing with such a crop, it forms a mass of rotting green manure im the soil, which is then ready to be planted in corn, There are many other valuable sugges- tions on soil improvement, The illustra- ‘lems are also to the point. (Stewart- Kidd.) John: Only one way to announce our ¢fn- cagement—a diamond ring, of course, Get it of Loftig Bros., on credit. 908 N. 6th st. -- UR world is composed of only O two classes of things, those that have life and those that have not. All the living things, plants, fish reptiles, animals and man, have th power of growth from within, of re- pair, and reproduction of their kind. Things that are lifeless have none of these powers. The science of biology comprises investigation into all forms of life and all activities and functions of life. Even an elementary knowledge of biology {s valuable to every human being, regardless of vocation or station in life. A close-acquaintance with the science is a liberal education, and equips its possessor with a vast fund of practical knowledge of the basic prin- ciples underlying human life and the human activities, which are to a large extent determined by our biological pos- sibilities and limitations. “Plant Biology,” by James Edward Peabody and Arthur Ellsworth Hunt, is primarily intended as a textbook for high school pupils, but at the same time perfectly adapted to any reader who wishes to inform himself or herself of the elementary principles of the science which undelies human activity. The chapters on nutrition, respiration and propagation of plants should be a part of every public school course. That which considers plant life in its rela- tion to human welfare is remarkable for its clear treatment of the dangers of deforesting the land, and the com- prehensive grasp it gives, In simple words easily understood by the reader of ordinary education, of the extent to which plants contribute to food, cloth- ing, medicine and the {ndustries. English words are employed wherever an English term can be used instead of Latin or Greek scientific names. This adds greatly to the book’s field of use- fulness, which is enlarged still further by a copious bibliography and index and an outline of review topics which; enable anyone to set himself an exami- nation in the different subjects treated and measure by comparison with the| text his sum of knowledge of the sub- ject.

Toe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am sorry a “lover of animals” does not know that there are nervous and sick people everywhere, not to mention weary people, who are kept awakes by dogs, roosters, cats and noisy, thoughtless hu- man beings. Sleeping is not a matter of con- science; it is one of physical conditions, A man’s conscience may be ever so clear and not bring him bodily repose. Many wicked people sleep soundly. M. D, Congress and the Constitution. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Does not our Congress understand the United States Constitution well enough to make con- stitutional laws? If so why do we have a Supreme Court to nullify them? If not why are they allowed to make them? EFFICIENCY. Oscar Underwood. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It naw looks as if Hon. Oscar Underwood of Alabama will become the next Democratic Presi- dent of these United States. He is surely a sound, safe, sane and conservative statesman and Con- gressman. As chairman of the Ways and Means Ccmmittee in Congress, he has demonstrated and proven his ability, integrity and statesmanship to every fair-minded man, regardless of partisan- ship. He is a truly great man and has won the ad- miration, love and respect of Republicans, Demo- crats, independents, conservatives and “progres- sives” alike. With his conservative financial views, commercial integrity and stability of character, it seems to me that this man would make an “ideal” President for the people. In my humble opinion, Oscar W. Underwood will be the coming man and free choice of the American people and be elected. Now let the North and South become re-united. The time has come when no party in this country can govern by Divine right. GEORGE A. RITTER, As One Man Sees It. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

That Ball Aroun,’ i if Team © Is Going to Rise in Wor Ellis, Evans and Oakes Play Soccer With Ground Balls; and Pull Costly “Boots” in Almost Every Game. By W. J. O’CONNOR. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 7. EAK defensive work by the Cardinal outfielders wag the chief reason why the Cardinals lost yesterday’s game, 5—4, to the Phillies. And inferior fielding by Messrs. Ellis, Oakes and Evans has figured prominently in every defeat sustained by the Cardinals ~ on the current trip. There isn’t a man in the outer defense who fields ground balls with certainty. At times they are weak on line drives, but almost invariably they boot ground- ers. This permits the common enemy to gallop away with extra-base drives and too frequently runs score that should be cut off at the plate. The. number of assists an outfielder has at the end of each season does not indicate his ability as a fielder. The man who has the greatest number of assists may be the poorest gardener in the League. That’s because a great field- er with a good arm seldom has a chance to use it. Last year Chief Wilson of the Pirates had fewer assists than any other out- fielder in the Lynch League, but there’s iust one reason for such a condition and that is that Wilson has the best arm in the League, not barring Mike Mitchell of the Reds. And, when a runner is on third and a long fly lofted to Wilson, the runner, six times out of 10, will re- main on third. Wilson in a dead shot. But the Cardinal outfielders are no- toriously weak on pegging to the plate. They also are weak on fielding ground balls. In yesterday’s bout Oakes and Evans played soccer with two .single hits their way. One of these was an out- and-out boot by Oakes. The other was a Bill Steele’s Work Is Cold, but Phillies Warm Him Up Vigorously' Ellis, but Magee lined out to Paskert and ~ the curtain fell. mat It was a costly defeat for the Cards.

; Manager Stovall Thinks St. Louis Fans Tired of Seeing the Same Old Pitchers Go Down to Defeat.

Luther McCarty, New White Hope, Matched With British Boxer NEW YORK, June 8.—Luther Mc- Carty, the 20-year-old Western lad, who recently knocked out Carl Mor- ris, arrived here last night from Springfield, Mo., with Billy Mc- Carney, his manager. He had scarcely hit. the city when Billy Gibson of the Garden A. C. offered him a match to fight Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight champion. McCarthy consented and Wells, it is said, will accept Gibson’s terms today. The match is as good as made. The men will box sometime in July.

By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. . Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. AIVERS have been asked on several members of the Browns, largely pitchers, and if any of the American League managers care to take over the St. Louisans, Manager Stovall will be willing to talk trade. While not mentioning any names, Stovall says he realizes there are some Fs Players now with the club who would | Probably do better elsewhere. He is > @ager to hand transfers to these men, but will not pass them over to other clubs for a cash consideration. He will insist on players only being in the deal. “I believe the fans get tired of coming cut and seeing the same bunch of pitchers beaten every day,’ said Stovall to the Post-Dispatch. “That's the rea- gs0n I’m strong for the newcomers and any time a youngster shows me he has any good baseball in his system, I'll let him have a chance to display it. “I am open to make any trade that will help the’ St. Louis club. I will go £0 far as to say that waivers have been asked on some of the men. That really doesn't mean that they are through as big leaguers, but if they are desired by any other manager he will have an op- portunity to take them over by talking -trade.’’ Stovall a Real Boss. If any trading is done it will be man- aged by Stovall. Owner Hedges has turned over that end of the game to the hew boss and will sanction’ any trade or deal that the ex-Nap negotiates. Dur- ing a conference between the manager and club owner, Stovall said he would like to get rid of a couple of Brownies. “You're the manager, and tf you think it will help the club, go ahead,” said Hedges, “and if you think a quick transfer will help, we'll get busy with the wires immediately.” . ss half fumble by Evans that does not ap- . iw pear in the box score, but both yuties. 44 runs.

By ROBERT EDGREN A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, NEW YORK, June 8.—Billy Papke is offering to make a $5000 side bet in his coming fight with Carpentier at Dieppe. Bfily is in Paris now and his big money talk is something of a sensation. Five thousand dollars, American money, is a fortune in France. A Frenchman can buy as much for its equivalent, 25,000 francs, as an American can get in this country for $25,000 I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if Papke knocked Carpentier out, although Dan McKetrick, Lewis’ manager, writes me that the Frenchman will surely whip the former middleweight champion. Mc- Ketrick never thought much of Papke, and the last time he saw him fight, Billy was merely a fat, conceited has- been. That was a temporary state of affairs. Papke has had the conceit whipped out of him in three or four fights. The result has been a long sea- son of hard training. When he was working up at Rye he seemed to have everything in the fighting line that he ever did have and he surely was thin. JIM FLYNN ” TOMMY. RYAN ERE are the two “hopes” now most in the public eye. Flynn, the veteran, LY is nearly 33 years of age and is outweighed 3 pounds by Johnson. Also, he has been defeated by him. McCarty is 20 years old, even bigger and more rugged than Johnson, and owns 10 knockouts out of 14 fights. He has been matched with Bombardier Wells in the first of a series of bouts leading toward a title match.

FROM THE EBBING of interest in the Johnson-Flynn fight, we might venture the guess that the present frost is merely stop- ping over here en route to Las Vegas. There is every reason to believe, however, that Mr. Jack Curley, promoter, has hold of the warm end of the poker, sinc® he agreed to give Jack Johnson $31,000. This means Curley will have to cross palms with about $50,000. worth of creditors before he can cut in on the gate. 4 How ABOUT THE ‘MAGTAR’S LEAP?

PHILADELPHIA, June 8.—Manager Roger Bresnahan of the Cardinals to- day received an invitation from Mana- ger McGraw of the Giants to accom- pany him (McGraw) on a baseball tour of. the world next winter. McGraw is planning the most pretentious trip ever undertaken by a ball club, and he wants Bresnahan as his rival tactician on the long junket. In keeping with McGraw’s policy of doing everything right, Muggsy this winter intends to journey to every coun- try on the old continent and also to Australia with two of the most repre- sentative teams in baseball today. Roger to Head Picked Team. One of the teams will be the Giants. The other will be a picked aggregation. Bresnahan will command the latter, as Roger has all but decided to accept the invitation. The picked team will probably contain a few American Leaguers, but of them will be National League stars, and included in the list probably will be Ed Koney, the Cardinal first- sacker. In his letter to Bresnahan, McGraw says he has completed all arrangements, and the journey will last well nigh three months. The troupers will visit every big city in every .European country and then dip down to the Antipodes. T O most

I can’t possibly imagine Willie Lewis hav- ing a chance to whip Papke today; yet even the recently arrived French papers ad- mit that he gave Carpenter a very hard 20-round fight, held the lead until near the end and lost oniy because of the French- man’s rattling finish. If Papke beats Carpentier, he can come back to this country and get good fights again. And from what we've seen of the middleweight bunch, I imagine he’d have a good chance to Whip them all, barring Mike Gibbons.

Especially spirited contests were expected ir. the dashes, hurdles, pole vault and 400 and 800 meter runs. Davenport of the University of Chicago was held favorite in the latter events, but Sanders of the University of IIl- nois and Hamilton of Indiana University were ready to do their best to defeat him.

He an- nounced last night that he would sail from New York for Europe on June 15. It is the boxer’s intention to go to Stockholm for the Olympic games and after that he will visit Paris, London and other cities. He says he will be gone two months and will not return then unless there is a chance to meet Ad Wolgast, the champion. a OLYMPIC FUND NOW IS ALMOST COMPLETE NEW YORK.

Monday. The day’s news was rather bearish. The weather map was favorable and Nebraska had good showers over a rath- er wide area. Crop reports, however, were bullish. Corn was steady to higher in the face of a light demand. The weather is not warm enough to assure séeasonable growth, in the face of the cool, wet nights, and the trade is inclined to fear manipulation in the July option in Chi- cago. Receipts in Chicago were 540,000 bu, against 649,150 bu last year, and ship- ments 115,200 bu, against 121,700 bu last year. The cash demand was fair. Oats were firm to higher. The Liverpool wheat market opened %d to 4d lower. Strength in America yesterday and firmness in Buenos Aires offset the expectations of larger world’s shipments and there was free covering in July. Arrivals are larger, but the quali- ty is still causing apprehension, and this has stimulated an urgent demand for high grades of Manitoba wheat, which are firmly held. Following the opéning the market was comparatively dull, but firmly held, with strength in Paris and continued good inquiry from the Continent, where nearby Australian cargoes are in urgent request. The ad- vance was checked by the expectations of larger world’s shipments and cables reporting a good percentage of American shipments to Liverpool this week, with indications of liberal American. ship- ments as shown by Bradstreet’s: Liverpool corn opened %d higher and later held the advance with the under- tone steady. The forecast of larger world’s shipments this week was offset by ‘the closing strength in Buenos Aires and firmness of offerings there. Liverpool wheat futures closed %d to 4d up; corn, %d to 4d up. Antwerp wheat, 1%4c up. and Paris, 2%c up, and 10c a bb! on flour. Minneapolis wheat receipts today were 12 cars, against 110 last week and 153 last year. Duluth had 51; last week, 56: last year, 62. Winnipeg had 275; last week, 236: last year, 826. Local wheat receipts today were 30,000 bu, or 21 cars local, 4 through; last year, 14,669 bu, or 164 sacks, 10 cars local, 3 through.

Chicago estimated wheat cars for Morday were 9, corn 518, oats 78. Cash wheat closed easy in price and slow sale on soft winter.

Offerings were well taken at the decline, however, owing to continued buying by some of the old bull interests and the market during the middle of the morning rallied 3 or 4 points from the lowest on covering for over the week-end.
