WANTEO- ONE PULMOTOR; APPLY BULL | ! JURISDICTION DISPUTE: ak and Others on Bond of Lawyer When He Was Named Curator of an Es- tate Assist in Obtaining Clayton Order. Two more court actions were insti- tuted Monday in the bitter fight for the estate of Rowland L. Johnston, for- mer Prosecuting Attorney of St. Louis County, a contest in which Johnston’s stenographer, Miss Mildred Kurtenack- er, has figured prominently. In the morning Johnston's wife, Mrs. May C. Johnston of Fern Glen, filed in the Clayton Probate Court a petition al- leging that her husband is of unsound mind and unable to care for his affairs, and asking that an inquiry into his san- ity be made according to law. Probate Judge Shackelford ordered that the inquiry take place next Satur- day. In the afternoon the St. Louis Court of Appeals issued a writ of prohibition, blocking the insanity inquiry until Oct. 5, when the question of making the writ permanent will be argued. Jurisdiction Questioned. Application for the writ was made by Attorneys George B. Webster and Frank X. Hiemenz, who alleged that’the Coun- ty Probaté Court has no jurisdiction, Johnston now being a resident of St. marshal, Hiemenz was deputized to serve Shackelford with notice that the sanity inquiry had been prohibited. The petition for a hearing on John- ston'’s sanity was filed by Prosecuting Attorney Mills of St. Louis County on behalf of Mrs: Johnston’s St. Louis at- torney. T. J. I we. Mills, Constable Bode of S.. Louis County and Detectives John J. Mc- 4 th» end Robcrt Kaiser of St. Louis are defendunts in a $100,000 damage suit filed last l*riday by Johnston's stenog- rapher. Miss Mildred Kurtenacker, who was arrested Thursday afternoon on a charge of having stolen Johnston’s per- sonal property, amounting to about $1000, and held incommunicado more than five hours in the Clayton jail. M -. Johnston says in her petition that John-. e-n has property worth about $1000. George B. Webster, one of Miss Kur- tenacker’s attorneys and a law part-ier of Johnson, says the young woman act- ed on his orders in taking Johnston’s gold watch, diamond ring, diamond stud and private papers, and having them put into a safe deposit box. He de- clares the arrest of Miss Kurtenacker was illegal and says he will help her prosecute the officials on a charge of kidnaping if Cireuit Attorney Jones will iysue an information. Bondsmen Help Get Hearing. Subsequent to the filing of Mrs. John- ston's petition, it became known that Fred Essen, a political boss of the county; Peter Kerth, a former Sheriff, and Arthur Mittelberg, a real estate man, signed Johaston’s $16,000. bond in October, 1910, when the County Probate Court made him curator of the estate of Annie Furstenberg, who was com- mitted to an insane asylum. Essen told & Post-Dispatch reporter he was instrumental in having’ the Court order a hearing on Johnston's sanity. He said he wanted to find out where the bondsmen stood in regard tc the Furstenberg estate. Johnston's inventory of the estate, filed Dec. ll, 1911, shows $9281.68 cash belonging to the woman. The arrest of Miss Kurtenacker re- vealed that a feud between Johnston and other members of his family was due, wholly or in part, to her. John- “ston made a new will. two months ago, : _ Recording to Webster, and this, Webster @deciares, was one of the documents the county officials sought among Miss Kur- tenacker’s papers. Residents of Valley Park, near which Johnston built his beautiful country “The Crags,”” declare Johnston had taken a friendly interest in Mise Kurtenacker for several years.

BEWARE OF THE EAR BUG Philadelphians Suffer From In- sect That Stings the Drum. PHILADELPHIA, July 22.—‘‘Beware of -the ear bug’ is the latest warning o. .2e physicians at several‘of the city hospitals, and many of the bugs have al ady driven patients to those institu- tions for treatment. Annie Rooney of 1082 l.orth Audain street is the latest victim of the new summer pest and the surgeons at the Polytechnic Hospital found the bug alive struggling close to the ear drum, stinging the sensitive excruciating pain. ‘ When an applicator was inserted the to dislodge it were futile.

ROMANCE OF A DOG SHOW Bride Married Couple of Times Because She Was Lonesome: —License Not Recorded. John Kienlen, who has been the third and fourth husband of Mrs. Mamie Salzman-Kienlen, became her fifth hus- band when the couple, who have twice before been married and twice di- vorced, went to St. Charles and got a license secretly last Tuesday evening. The third marriage of the Kienlens became known Monday in the neighbor- hood of the bride’s home, 742 Fiora avenue, Maplewood. It was at first de- nied, then admitted at the St. Charles license office that the license was is- sued there. License Not on Record. ~ Kienlen and his twice-before wife, who resumed the name of Salzman after her latest divorce, went last Tues- day evening, it was learned, to the home of Assistant County Clerk Dueb- bert on Lindenwood avenue, St. Charles, and the license was issued there. By an oversight of a sort which has be- come common in the St. Charles license office, the license was not entered on the public record. Justice Bruns mar- ried the pair. At the time of the last divorce, 13 months ago, Mrs. Salzman-Kienlen told the story of her much-married life to a Post-Dispatch reporter. Her first hus- band’s name she refused to give, saying he was a good man. Her second hus- band, Gustave Salzman, died in 1903. After he had been dead eight months, she said, she was exhibiting her kennel of white poodles at a dog show, and met Kienlen there. He described him- self as a wealthy real estate dealer. Married Because of Loneliness. She married Kienlen, she afterward declared, not. because she loved him, but because she was lonesome. She told him, she .said,. that she felt no affection for him, but that she de- sired company. “If he had any money, I never saw it,” she related. “I used to give him $7 to $9 a week to spend. In, Febru- ary, 1910, I got a divorce on grounds of incompatibility and non-support. “I got awfully lonesome, and when he came around and pleaded with me to take him back, I consented. Our second wedding was in.June, 1910. “But we quarreled all the time, and I filed suit for a second divorce March 25, 1911. He was furious, and made me go to Clayton with him in order the suit .withdrawn. Two days later we quarreled about money. I threatened again to sue him, and he said I could go ahead if I would give him $200. I gave him $5 and he walked out.” The second divorce was granted by Since that time Mrs. Salzman-Kienlen has lived alone in the Maplewood home. She sey. is 48 years old, and Kienlen is 44.

HELD BY CORONER FOR GRAND JURY Policeman at Inquest Contradict Stewart’s Story of a Fight Preceding Killing. CHURCH FUNERAL DENIED Archbishop Says He Refused It Because Family Did Not Shaw Slain Man Was Catholic. A Coroner’s jury, after an fnquest into the death of John D. (Don) Killian, who was shot and killed by John L. Stew- ‘art, at Stewart’s home, 4254A Cook ave- nue, Friday night, Monday returned a verdict of homicide and ordered Stew- art held to the grand jury. The inquest was concluded about the time Killian’s body was buried in an for a Catholic church funeral and bur- ial in consecrated ground had been re- fused by Archbishop Glennon. The funeral took place instead from the home of a relative, J. Sidney Lee, 5249 Page boulevard, at 8:30 a. m. Mother Becomes Hysterical. The announcement that a church funeral had been refused was @ sur- prise to Killian’s friends and rela- tives’ His mother, who for the sec- ond time igs meurning a son slain by the hand of another, was informed of it at the wake and became hys- terical., Pierce Killian, a brother, called upon the Rev. Peter J. O’Rourke, pastor of St. Mark the Evangelist’s Church, Sat- urday night to arrange for a church funeral Monday. Father O’Rourke told him he would have to take up the mat- ter with the Archbishop. Archbishop Glennon told a Post-Dis- patch reporter the refusal to permit a church funeral for Killian was because members of his family had not shown that he was a member of the Catholic church, “The last rites of the church,” the Archbishop said, ‘‘are the external evl- dence of membership in the church, This simply means that the young man’s relatives could not establish the fact of such membership. It is oot in any sense a condemnation of the man. It cannot be said the rites were ‘de- nied’ him in any other sense. That is all I care to say about the matter.’’ Stewart Repeats His Story. At the Coroner’s inquest Stewart re- peated the story of the killing he gave to the police Saturday. He told of how he, Killian and another man, whom he knew only as ‘‘Red,” had gone to the Stewart home drunk, how Killian, partly sobered, had made an infamous suggestion about Mrs. Stewart and how, when he was reaching for a dish to throw at Killian, Killian seized a re- volver. Stewart said he disarmed Kil- lian during a struggle and shot him. When he first was put on the stand, Stewart was informed he did not need to say anything that might incriminate himself. He replied he wished to let his preVious statement stand, with the privilege of making another statement later. He was advised by Charles P. Johnson, whom he has retained as counsel. Special Officer Hurley and Patrolman Smythe testified there was no evidence of a struggle in the Stewart home. Both said there were no dishes in the room started and none anywhere within Ste- wart’s reach. There was a broken chair in the room, Hurley said. . Smythe said this chair evidently had been broken some time before Friday. The back was lying on a table, he said, beside two iron dumb bells and a butch. | er knife. “Tried to Break Up My Home.’. Hurley testified that when he reached the house after the killing Stewart was dressing. Stewart said, according to the officer: ‘‘Don’t blame me, boys. I did it in self-defense. He tried to get me and break up my home.” ‘He tried to break up my home and I beat him to it.” Smythe testified Stewart remarked to him. Stewart gave his occupation as sugar carbonator. He appeared composed as he faced the Coroner’s jury and repeat- ed his story of the killing in an even vojce. He frequently talked in whis- pers to Attorney Johnson.

TOPEKA, Kan., July 22.—The Kansas Supreme Court handed down a decision today that the Roosevelt presidential electors must remain on the primary ballot and that voters in the State can express their choice betw Taft and Roosevelt as Republican nominees. The Court held that the row in the party ought never to have been taken jnto the courts, as it was purely politi- cal, and ordered all sulte dismissed. The Taft leaders brought suit to have names of Roosevelt electors taken from annex of Calvary Cemetery. Permission | ‘Adams’ fellow. boarders at 4829 Laclede Young MRS WILLIAM 6B ADAMS . Miss Margaret Gately and Man She Met on Visit to Drug Store Marry in St. Charles. “Heartburn” is not supposed to af- fect the heart in any way,. but it did in the case of Miss Margaret Gately of | 5575 Waterman avenue. As: a §di- rect result of an attack of heartburn, she eloped to St. Charles Saturday night and became the wife of William B.- Adams, Mma&fager of a drug ‘store at Union boulevard and Berlin avenue. The néws came out Monday, when avenue made inquiries as to why he had been absent so long. They found him and his bride at the home of. his employer, George H. Sommers of 4568 Clayton avenue. Brother Secretly Wed June 13. Miss Gately is a sister of John P. Gately, who was married gecretly at Denver, June 13, to Miss Eleanora Rit- ter of New Athens, Ill, a Lenox Hall music student. About three months ago, accdrding to the bride’s acquaintances, she went into the Sommers drug store at Laclede and Euclid avenues, to get a remedy for heartburn. Adams happened to be the clerk to whom she applied and ‘his remedy and manner were so efficacious that Miss Gately became interested. So did Adams when the petite and pretty blonde, then residing on Forest Park boulevard, ‘made other visits to the store. Romance Kept From Friends, It developed that a romance had ‘been in progress the last 90. days, ‘but Adams’ associates did not suspect. it until Sat- urday evening, when’ they heard ‘him telephoning from the boarding hotise for a four-passenger ‘automobile to be used about three or four hours.’’ Adams took only Mr. and Mrs. Sommers into his confidence. They accompanied him and Miss Gately to St. Charles. Friends of the bride say she-was mar- ried at Boston: several years ago to Hugh Stilwell, whom she: later divorced at Denver. She is about 24: years old. Adams is said to be'only 20. He came to St. Louis about six months ago from Louisville, where his aestun reputed to be wealthy, reside.

In these days of divorce some peo- ple find it very hard. My son, Freder- ick, for instance, is 30 years old and still not married, in spite of our efforts to persuade him to choose a girl. I think that a man’s chances of living to an old age are doubled by having someone to share his old age with him. My wife and I have been married more than 650 years and I know such has been the case with me. “Must Remain at Work.” “Another thing.a man must do if he wishes to ‘live long, is to remain at work.

SEATTLE, Wash., July 22.—Cornelius Holgate Hanford, Unite ed States District seted} in Washington for 22 years, whose cone duct on the bench has been under investigation for nearly a montk by a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee of the Howse.ah Representatives, today telegraphed his resignation. to President Taft. The Judge, 63 years old, resigned while the investigators, ina room adjoining his own courtroom, were holding a session. The Judge gave ill health as the cause for his resignation, ae investigation by the subcommittee, headed by Representati¥9 — Graham of Illinois, was brought about by Judge Hanford’s action — in depriving Leonard Olsson, a Socialist, of his citizenship gre May 10 last. This action was said to have been condemned by At-— torney-General Wickersham and President Taft. The members of the House committee assembled at an unusitally early hour today, prepared to continue the hear- ing, but the committéé’ was wot called to order. Soon the committee and Judgé Hanford’s counsel adjourned to an anteroom and the neryous air about the six men and the alternate depar- ture and return of the attorneys gave a hint to those in the courtroom that important conferences were in progress. Meanwhile Judge Hanford was seated on the bench in an adjoining room, listening to a motion calendar. He seemed to be under no greater strain than for weeks. Rumor of Resignation Spreads. About 10:15 Chairman Graham of the committee left the building and then told the reporters that when the com- mittee reassembled it would recess im- mediately. By this time a rumor had gone into circulation, caused by over- hearing of the word “‘resignation” spo- ken in the anteroom, that Judge Han- ford had resigned. At Judge Hanford’s chambers, the Judge’s son, Ned, told newspaper men preparing a statement of his reasons. The Judge sat calmly at his desk, writ- ing in his painstaking long hand, an explanation of the motive that had com- pelled his action. At 10:40 Chairman Gra- ham returned to the building, called the committee to order, and said: ‘Gentlemen, some conditions have aris- vesdieiicay short recess. The committee will recess until 2 o’clock.

The EMPRESS o JAPAN sie

a

with a well developed body and limbs. He is about 6 feet and 1 inch tall and weighs a little over 200 pounds. He is really a giant among the small people of the country. His countenance is solemn and he is a man of few words. He does not go out much, but when he goes out he often starts on horse- back, and the people are impresed by the solemn and magnificent features of his giant physique. He is a lover of horses and keeps many beautiful steeds in the royal stable. He is an expert rider. Once his favorite white horse was very much excited on the morning when he intended to have a ride. The court of- ficials became alrmed and tried to per- suade the Emperor not to ride on that particular horse that morning. But he never paid any attention to their words and; smiling, flung himself on the horse. The horse knows the hands of a: master, and it became tame and quiet under the rein held by the royal hands. Honored by Subjects. The manner in which the Emperor is respected in Japan may be incredi- ble to the foreign mind, as he is re- spected and honored as no living man is at present. In former days it was the custom of the people to kneel down on the street and bow whenever the Emperor passed the street. The cus- tom is dying out, but still in the coun- try the old habit remains, and when he Is in the country many people kneel down on the roadside. One word from the Emperor is enough to make any Japanese perform any hard, difficult task or sacrifice his life. “It’s for the Emperor” is the solace of the mother who lost her sole and dear son in the recent wars. If the Government of Japan wishes to honor the men who helped Japan to make such a wonderful progress in re- cént years the Emperor will be the first one who should be placed on the honor list. Although the part played by him is not known to the public he has been the pilot and captain of the tiny ship Japan through the waves and winds of the world. A Student of Religions, — Nothing definite could be said about the religious or philosophical ideas of Emperor Mutsuhito. He is the follow- er of the Shinto cult, by evwstom and tradition, and has worshiped the spirits of his ancestors and former Emperors. Many philosophical books and treaties he has read, and he has a profound knowledge of Western and Eastern phil-

\f osophies. He has studied the Buddism and read many Chinese volumes writ- ten about the religion. It is difficult to tell how much he knows about Christianity and it is not certain whether he ever read the Bible Or not. But it is a fact that there are many volumes of the Bible in the imperial household, and some of the members of the family and high court officials are constant readers of the Bible. He reads extensively and his memorv is wonderful, and on that account it became a:custom of many statesmen when they are summoned to the pres- ence of the Emperor to read books on the subjects about which they are likely to be questioned and take the trouble of remembering statistics and other de- tails. They could not give vague an- swers Or imaginary facts to the ear of the Emperor, as the good memory »f the Emperor always finds them aut. If Japan loses Emperor Mutsuhito she will lose not only the greatest anid brightest Emperor she ever had, but a great poet, a deep thinker and profound scholar of human nature.

ROSENTHAL KILLING ~ RESULTS IN SHIFT FOR LIEUT. BECKER Head of Mitta lsat Squad” and Foe of Gambler In- former Who Was Shot to Death Deposed and As- signed to Desk Duty— First Move Against Him. TAXIS KEPT FROM SCENE OF MURDER Ee Escape of Gun Men, Who Were Hired and Rehearsed, Assured by Removing Means of Pursuit—Black- By Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 22.—Police Commis- sioner Waldo announced today that Lieut. Charles A. Becker has been re- Heved of charge of the “strong arm” squad and transferred to desk duty in the Sixty-fifth police precinct of the Bronx. This is the first official move made by Commissioner Waldo in ‘con- nection with Lieut. Becker since the killing of Herman Rosenthal, the in- former against police graft who was shot to death in front of the Hotel Met- ropole by a band of assassins who escaped in an automobile. Police Commissioner Waldo visited Mayor Gaynor at the city hall at noon. Many rumors regarding the conference were circulated. The commissioner de- elined to make any statement as he entered the Mayor's offices. That a picked band of gun men was selected to shoot down Rosenthal and had had a rehearsal of the killing, it was said by officials of the prosecutor's office today. Investigation shows that there was not a slip in the plans and that the principals behind the plot were most careful to establish alibis. Williamr Shapiro, held in connection with the killing, in a supplementary statement, revealed how gang men kept the street in front of the Hotel Metro- pole practically clear of taxicabs for £0 minutes before the murder, in order, apparently, that the “murder. car” might have a “clear getaway.” ' Blackjack Men Near Scene. . Shapiro said at least 16 men must have known of the plans, as they were near the Metropole, ready to blackjack or hill, if necessary, anyone who inter- tered with the job or tried to block the cecape of the gun fighters. The Coroner’s tnquest will be held this afternoon, when several of* the principais now under detention by the police will probably be called as wit- nesses. There were reports today that “Bald Jack” Rose had “squealed” and that Commissioner Dougherty was in pos- session of all the names of those men who were in the “murder car.’’ Dough- erty has promised important arrests to- day. but further than that will not discuss the case. “Big Jack” Zelig, gua man and gang icader, will surren- der today, it was reported. Because of the illness of Mrs. thal, widow if the gambler, District Attorney Whitman announced that there would be no proceedings of the grand jury today. The prosecutor wishes to call Mrs. Rosenthal as the first witness. Three More Under Arrest. Louis Webber, known as “Bridgey,”’ and Sam Paul are locked up at police headquarters, charged with “being im- plicated in the murder of Herman Rosenthal.” Jack Sullivan, who was in frequent communicatfon with Police Lieutenant Becker, Sam Paul and Jack Rose on the day and evening that Rosenthal was killed, and who admits he went d@irect from Becker, who dropped him at the corner of Forty-second street an” Sixth avenue, half an hour before Rosenthal was killed, to “Bridgey’’ Webber’s gambling rooms at Broadway and Forty-second street, which had been chosen as the “murder headquar- ters,” as Deputy Commissioner Dough- erty expressed it, was also arrested and held as a material witness. Whether there will be a more serious charge against him, Dougherty declined to say. It was on Sam Paul's excursion Sun- Gay, July 14, that threats were made that Rosenthal would be killed. | Six Now Under Arrest. f There are now six men under arrest in connection with the Rosentha) murder five Charged with being tmplicated in the cfime and one held as a material Three others who were already arrest charged with murder are: Libby, who owned the “murde: Rosen- Pe

pa: Fiance to Wait 9 Years or Break Froth

Minister in Brazil Has Contract Yet to Run That Long—St. Louis Girl Fears Heat. A letter written by Miss Ida Hilda Gernhardt of 1375 Temple place is on its way to the Rev. E. J. McMannis in Santa Cruz, Brazil, asking him tv wait nine years for Miss Gernhardt’s hand or permit her to cancel their en- gagement to marry. The minister in far-away South Amer- ica cannot receive this letter for eight more weeks. All that time he will be happy in the belief that Miss Gern- hardt will join him in Brazil and become his wife next spring. he told of how he was looking forward to the time when he would lead her to the altar. Miss Gernhardt was sad Monday as she told of the circumstances which she believes will make it necessary to break the engagement. — ‘My mother thinks it best,” she said. “But I am worried awfully, though. The Rev. Richard Jesse, pastor ef my church here, the Mount Calvery Luther- an, tells me that it would be morally wrong for me to break my engagement In the last letter wHich he wrote her

MISS IDA HILDA G ERNHARDT }after it has been publicly announced. “I am told that my health will not permit me to live in the warm climate cf Brazil. I am always ill in warm weather and my physician says it would be worse if I went down there. Besides, my mother doesn’t want me to be so far away from her.” McMannis, a graduate of the Concor- dia Seminary, has been in Brazil about two years and has prospered there. His congregation has given him a coffee plantation and in his last letter, re- ceived by Miss Gernhardt a few days ago, he says he-vis about to buy a to- bacco farm with his savings. “But he has signed a contract with; his congregation which binds him to remain there 10 years,’’ said Miss Gern- hardt. “He has almost nine years of thts ‘time to serve. I am afraid I would be.a hopeless old maid if I waited for him that long: I am 19 and he is 26. > Contract in Way. “T won’t say that our engagemente:s off, but the wedding must be postponed unless he can come back here to live, and I don’t see how he can break his contract.”’ Miss Gernhardt and McMannis have been friends since their childhood. Five years ago the entire Gernhardt family was poisoned by eating cheese-cake. McMannis aided in caring for Ida at that ‘time and they realized that they were more to each other than friends.

were policemen present also, some in plain clothes, and some in uniform, who had a suspicion that the murder was going to be committed, or eyen direct knowledge of it, as is charged in some quarters, is something Dougherty will not talk about. But the arrest of Jack Sullivan, known as “the friend of the newsboys,’’ is taken as a clear indication that Lieut. Becker, in Dougherty’s opinion, had some knowledge or information of what was about to occur. The Metropole is in the center of New York’s night life. Before it at all hours until 4 in the morning are found tour- ing cars, private and public, and from 4 to 10 taxicabs. The street on Mon- day night (early Tuesday morning) had at least the usual quota, if not.more, because of’ the sports who had gone there from Madison Square Garden, where the two heavyweight pugilists had fought. Taxis Are Kept Away. At 1:30 the work of keeping the street free of taxicabs was begun as fast as one drove up to the Metropole Hotel and discharged its freight it was filled by men from a crowd standing in front of the place, if it showed any symp- toms of waiting. The stand of Thomas Cumber, ‘at the Hote! Cadillac, imme- diately adjoining, which always has two or three cabs in front of it, was empty. In front of the Metropole there are al- ways two or three night hawks walt- ing for the late night trade. — Into each of these cars, one of the crowd of strangers climbed and drove off. In the 30 minutes between the time this was first noticed and the mo- ment Rosenthal was shot, as many as 12 cabs were taken away by these un- expected customers. As a result, at the time Rosenthal emerged from the res- taurant to be met by the bullets that killed him, the gray automobile was the only machine in the street, with the single exception of ‘Horan’s taxicab which had driven up just two minutes before the shooting began and had scarcely stopped when Rosenthal fell dead. have been no precautions taken

BRIDES-TO-BE PREFER _CITY MAN TO FARMER Investigation Shows They Would Rather Be Poor in Town Than

- Rich Away From It. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 22.—Money, comfort, fresh air, good things to eat— such things are not sufficient to tempt marriageable American women. away from the cities. Most of them prefer to marry city men, even if they are poorer providers. That conclusion has been reached by the Rev. William. J. Dalton, pastor of the Anrtunciation Catholic Church here after reading the letters of 6452 persons who desire to marry and have written to him for help. “The only women who express a will- ingness to marry farmers are elderly women who find themselves alone in the world,’’ Father Dalton said today. “‘But the farmers who ask for wives are younger men and they do not marry such women.

OF TERMINAL SAID TOBE UNCHANGED Statement Made at Commerce Commission Hearing by Rail- roads and Civic Bodies. Representatives of railroads, civic or- ganizations and transfer companies ap- peared before John S. Burchmore, spe- cial examiner for the Iaterstate Com- merce Commission, at thea Jefferson Hotel, Monday, and told him that there has been no change in the methods and practices of transferring freight from East St. Louis to ‘St. Louis since the! recent Supreme Court decision, which ordered the Terminal Association to re- adjust its affairs. Birchmore was sent to St. Louis in connection with an investigation which has been under way four years. He was especially charged with in- vestigating the practice of the rail- roads in permitting transfer companies to complete freight hauls instead of bringing shipments direct to St. Louis by rail. P. W. Coyle, Traffic Commissioner of the Business Men's League, sub- mitted a report adopted by the League last June in which it was said that the practice of permitting certain favored drayage' companies to carry freight froin East St. Louis to St. Louis, re- gardless of whether these companies have depots on this side of the river, removes the incentive for quick hauling of freight directly to and from St. Louis by. rail, and retards the develop- ment of freight terminals in St. Louis. The report also criticised the Termin- al’s practice of permitting certain ex- press companies to use the bridge and ferries free of charge when. similar} privileges are not allowed to other com- panies or individuals. George J. Tansey, president of the St. Louis Transfer Co., said that, in view of the controversy as to the exact meaning of the Supreme Court Terminal decision, no change in the practice of transferring freight across the river had been made. “I think I can. say that there will be no change, so far as concerns freight from outside the 100-mile radius,” he said. Charles Rippin told the examiner he was preparing a statement on behalf of the Merchants’ Exchange Traffic Bu- reau, with reference to the transfer of grain across the river. He was told to mail the statement to the Interstate Commerce Commission’s secretary in Washington, as the examiner said he could not remain in St. Louis to receive it. On adjourning Monday’s hearing Burchmore said.a ruling on the transfer practices in St. Louis will probably be handed down by the commission this fall.

NO AGREEMENT ON WARSHIP. PROGRAM Senate and House Have Recon- ciled All Other Points of Dif- ference on Bill. WASHINGTON, July 22.—No agree- ment over the battleship program for this year was reached when the House and Senate conferees on the naval ap- propriation bill held another meeting today. All other points of diffeernce »2n the bill have been reconciled. The Sen- ate refuses to recede frdm its demand for two battleships, while the House demands that none shall be provided. Another meeting of the conferees is to be-held tomorrow. The Senate confer- ees believe they can force the House into an agreement for one ship. Senator Tillman, who had insisted on a $300,000 improvement at Charles- ton Navy Yard, today was forced +o give way. The Senate yielded to the House on the disputed appropriations for Charleston, Portsmouth and Phila- delphia, and all will be dropped from the bill.

COMMERCE STOCK: ONE SALE AT $164 Fifty-Five Shares Change Hands on Local Stock Ex- change. Following the publication Sunday of the statement of the board of directors of the National Bank of Commerce that $5,748,729.35 had been charged off from the surplus, leaving the $10,000,000 cap- ital and $2,332,038,53 surplus unimpaired and unquestioned, there was little trad- ing in the stock on the iocal Stock Ex- Change Monday. The shares of the bank opened at a decline, but showed firmness ,at the close. ; Pifty-Five Shares Changed Hands. Iifty-five shares changed hands at $164, against the closing price Saturday of $181.50 a share. There were buying or- ders under the market for 400 shares at from $150 to $160, but the lowest price asked at the opening of the session was $157.50. From this figure there was a quick recovery, and the stock was bid up to $165, with no offers. Subsequently the price dropped to $164. The closing bid was $163.50 a share, with $164 asked. There are 100,000 shares of the stock. President Edwards Optimistic. Ben F. Edwards, president of the Na- tional Bank of Commerce, was in a cheerful mood Monday when a Post- Dispatch reporter called at his office. “The directors feel that the action taken Saturday has cleared the situa- tion,’’ he said, “and we believe that the bank will maintain a leading position. The capital and the surplus, as now constituted, are much larger than those of any other St. Louis bank.” He declined to name any of the per- sons to whom the loans lately strick- en off the surplus were made. It was sufficient, he said, to state the total and with this amount known and the loans disposed of, he believed the mat- ter to be of no further public interest. Reports that certain changes in the organization of the bank were in con- templation were denied by Edwards. When reports as’ to the identity of some of the borrowers from ‘the ban were mentioned, Edwards declined io comment on any of them. Loan-to Kansas Concern, Two large stockholders of the bank, who did not wish to have their names printed, told a Post-Dispatch reporter about some of the heavy loans that were charged off the surplus account. One of the largest amounts charged off was an overdué loan to a Kansas ce- méent corporation, according to the stockholders. The loan was originally for $1,700,000, but was reduced from time to time. One of these stockholders said: “This loan is now about eight months overdue. Under the rules of the bank examiners, this loan necessarily had to be charged off, although the bank has @ mortgage on the entire property of the cement company, and undoubtedly will recover a large amount, if not al: of the original loan, with interest. “Another heavy loss was incurred in a railroad project in the South. A for- mer president of the bank tndertook to build a railroad, and the bank made large loans to the railroad corporation. The railroad obligation still exists, and the railroad is now making some money. In time, the bank officials believe the entire obligation will be paid, and that there will be practically no loss.” ROBBER SUSPECT GETS AWAY SECOND TIME MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, July 22.— Breaking away from Sheriff O.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATOK. . TRANSFER METHOD [LITTLE TRADINGIN (SCOTT CAN NT RECALL ANY TRUST GIFTS IN T. R. RACE Former West. Virginia Senator Says His $30,000 Was Largest of 1904 Campaign. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, J uly, 22.—Former Sen- ator Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia today told the Senate committee inves- tigating campaign funds of 1904 and 1908 that no contributions were made to Col. Roosevelt’s campaign by corpora- tions, by Henry Havemeyer, the sugar king, or by any representatives of the International Harvester Co. so far as he could recall. Scott testified that the largest con- tribution of which he had knowledge made to the National Committee in that campaign was his own, amounting to $30,000 or $40,000. George W. Perkins, he said, had given $15,000, but not to the National Committee. Beth contribu- tions were used in the ‘Weat Virginia State campaign. “In October, 1904,” Scott said, “Mr. Perkins asked me the situation in West Virginia and I told him we had a very hard fight on for Governor and that it was doubtful whether we could elect William O. Dawson. Mr. Perkins said, as a friend of President Roosevelt, he would be-very sorry to see the State go Democratic and made the contribu- tion.’’ Scott sald none of the “Harvester people” had contributed to the 1904 cam- paign. Perkina’ Gift Personal. “How about .the Perkins contribu- |} tion?’ asked Senator Clapp. “Well, I understood that Mr. Perkins’ contribution was a personal matter of his own,” said Scott, “because cf the personal relations that existed between him and President Roosevelt.” ‘‘Was Mr. Perkins at that time a mem- ber of J. P. Morgan & Co.?” asked Sen- ator Jones. Scott did not know. “Do you know whether Mr. Perkins in- terceded with the President as to the taking over of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.?” asked Senator Paynter. “I don’t know anything about that matter,” said the witness. Scott said he knew of no one connect- ed with the steel. oi! or beef ‘‘trusts”’ who had given anything to the campaign Ir had been the settled policy of George B. Cortelyou and Cornelius N. Bliss, as the heads of the committee to make it known that no such contributions would be received, he said. “My own corporation nev@r gave a dol- lar to the campaign,” he added. Scott was then a glass manufacturer. Tariff League Was Paid for Work, Asked about any activity of the Amer- ican Protective Tariff League in the campaign, he said the league had fur- nished some campaign material, but {t had been paid for its work and had nev- er contributed directly or indirectly to the campaign.

Leased Wire From the New York »: Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. 7 ‘NEW YORK, July 22.—James Burton Beynolds of Massachusetts is the new secretary of the Republican National Cbmmittee. “For eight years Reynolds was secre- faty of the Republican State Committee of: Massachusetts and was Known as “Senator Lodge’s man.” Krom 1905 to 1909 he was Assistant Sec- retary of the Treasury at the head of the customs service.’ In this capacity Md interpreted and administered the syiff law so that, it has been asserted, * {BP privilege seeking friends of Lodge and Aldrich reaped millions in profits through enforcement of higher rates of ty on textiles than were intended by fhe Dingley tariff law. *+Reynolds was graduated from the °F Dreasury Department to membership of » Tariff Board.

In his new position he can bp a very “useful’’ man, they declare. ‘Phere comes now at this season of ery fourth year ‘‘the National Dough- .’ “the Doughbag man” and “the n with the Gun”’. The most-interest- g figure of all, it is conceded, “is The with the Gun,” who stands behind Doughbag man and ‘“‘makes ’em cn across.”’ . eodore Roosevelt set the example of Wanslating his official inquisitor of cor- mations George B. Cortelyou, into mpaign fat-fryer. The Taft campaign '; been started with Hilles in Cortel- ’s old job as chairman of the Re- Afpli-. 1 National Committee. tt.2 is going to be the real fryer of fhe fat. The man equipped for that job =the Man with the Gun, who will stalk hind the Doughbag man—is ‘Jimmie’ Reynolds. { o estimate the effectiveness of Reyn- fis’ equipment, one must know what has done for the “interests” that will called on to “shell out’’ for the cam- , and what or who those interests = “Beconomist” Takes Up Fight. As soon as the Baltimore platform published the “American Econo- " organ of the American ‘Protec- e Tariff League, supported ty the ding special beneficiaries of excessive ff, began to yell “bloody murder.”’ current issues of the “Economist” such headlines as: “It Is a Gi- ntic Conspiracy, Free Traders Have ited on a Plan for the Destruction the Nation's Prosperity.” tAmong the directors of the American potective Tariff League are the big of the Woolen Trust, the cotton who benefited lowered in the Payne-Aldrich bill, head of the Linen Thread Trust, others who have received exces- protection, and have grown enor- y rich. he Sugar Trust, the Beef Trust, the Trust, the Lumber Trust and all other tariff-fostered trusts, it is will be interested either in | Taft or Roosevelt campaign, or in {Ppth. ~ For any and all of these interests, of the handiest men in any admin- | = Committee. For four years he was . Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and ad- ministered the tariff law. During these four years, in which he interpreted = dis- puted points in the act, the woolen and cotton “interests” thrived and the Sugar, Beef, Paper and Lumber trusts prospered within the tariff wall. Reynolds decided sugar beets were vegetables and not on the free .- list as a vegetable sub- stance for manufac- turing. The inde- pendent sugar _re- finers in their last stand against the trust, had sought to import sugar beets free from*Canada. Reynolds was accused by Rich- JAMES Official Acts of Man Who Will Help Get Republican Campaign Funds. HE Man Behind the Dough-bag Man in the ‘Republican ca df about to open is James Burton Reynolds of Massachusetts. His official position is Secretary B. REYNOLDS. / NEW YORK, Suly “2p. p aign of the Republican National ard Parr of hamper- ing the latter in his exposure..of the $2,000,000 weighing frauds of the Sugar Trust. In the famous ‘“etamine” case Rey- nolds ° applied ‘the 60. per cent duty in- tended for linen fabrics so that it protected cheap cot- ton etamine manu- factured in New England. The courts upset. this ruling, but. mean- while the consumers had lost hundreds of thousands of dol- lars, due to the ex- cess in duties. Among Reynolds’ duties will be the holding of the “dough bag” open to textile manufactur- 3 ers who prospered during his term as interpreter of the tariff. pendents were fighting for their lives. They wanted to import to Michigan fac- tories beets grown across the line in Canada. Reynolds let the decision of the ap- praisers stand, and it was related at thu time that, in order to prove sugar beets are vegetables, he sent out into the middle West, miles from a:sugar fac- tory, and obtained a photograph of a cow eating sugar beets which its owner had grown expressly for forage. Richard Parr, the special investiga- tor, who exposed the weighing frauds of the Sugar Trust at the New York docks, openly charged that Assistant Secretary Reynolds hampered him in his work by ordering him to Cuba ani San Francisco when he got hot on the trust’s trail. Reynolds proved that he made thé transfers at the request of then Federal District Attorney Stimson. and Parr’s accusation was further flat- tened by Reynold’s assertion that the charge was inspired by Parr’s failure to get his expected share of the §$2,- 000,000 collected from the trust. For the textile interests the admin- istration of Reynolds proved particular ly profitable. Purposely or accidental: ly, the tariff laws have been made so complicated that almost any interpreta- tion could be given to them. The favor- ite trick of privilege seeking manufac- turers has been to get the duty on their particular products fixed as high as they could and then have inserted in some other paragraph of the law a *joiner’’ under which the same product could be assessed a still higher rate of duty. Famous “Etamine Case.” The most notorious of “Jimmie’’ Rey- nolds’ alleged services to the New England manufacturers was in what every dry goods merchant, manufac- turer and importer kniows as “the eta- mine case.”’ Back in the &80’s and 9's there was a popular French dress material, a loosly woven fabric of worsted. It be- came as much ofarage as ‘ratine’’ is this season. American manufacturers saw the opportunity for big profits in making a similar fabric of cotton. The word “etarnine’’ was put forth the first time in the Dingley tariff act of 1897. The duty of © per cent was interpreted to apply only to a lower fabric, when the genuine woo] etamine was taxed as a manufacture of wool at about 100 per cent. — To compete with the American-made fabric, which was being sold generally as “etamine,”’ the European manufac- turers also turned out cotton imitations of the French cloth. As cotton cloth, this imitation eta- mine was regarded as dutiable at only 36 per cent, but the American cotton manu- facturers fixed it up to have the 60 per cent linen rate applied. The im- porters fought the ruling. and. in 1904 the Board of Appraisers riled ‘that the cotton imitation was not properly ‘‘eta- mine,’” and should pay the lower, or cotton, duty. The excess in duties paid in the time the law had been misinter- preted was returned fo the importers, but meantime the American manufac- turers of cotton cloths wrongfully called “etamine’’ had been able to charge: for their material all that the imported cloth cost, with 60 per cent duty added. Reopens Entire Case. On Nov. 16, 1907, by treasurer decision No, 28,502, Reynolds reopened the whole etamine controversy by ordering the 60 per cent duty again applied to all cotton. and flax etamines of whatever color, and | ‘ that ‘“‘the department desires to make anew case.’’ New York merchants and importers went in force to Washington and over the head of Reynolds, protested to the Secretary of the Treasury that hun- dreds of thousands of dollars worth of imports had been contracted for and sold under the decision of the Board of Appraisers applying the cotton cloth Guty .to cotton fabrics, imitation eta- mines and the similarly-constructed voiles and veilings, including tissues, grenadines and many other classes. In response to this protest Reynolds issued an order on Dec. 7, 1907, hold- ing up the application of the 6 per cent rate on all goods contracted for before Nov. 16. But at the same time he construed the 60 per cent rate to include fabrics ‘‘woven with a doup or ‘cable thread in warp or filling, pre- serving open effect of the meshes.’”’ By reading the word ‘‘doup’”’ into the interpretation of the Dingley law, Rey- rolds. was able to raise into the 60 per cent class practically every fancy weave made by the New England mills ewned by Henry F. Lippitt, now Al- drich’s successor as Senator from Rhode Island, and James R. McCall of the Lorraine Manufacturing Co., who, it is asserted, were permitted by Aldrich to write their own duty rates into the Payne-Aldrich bill. Courts Reverse Reynolds. When the notorious “‘etamine case” finally reached the courts, more than a year later, Reynolds’ order was _ re- versed, and the law was interpreted as the Board of Appraisers had done be- fore in 1904. A er All af the excess:in duties’ was again returned to the importers, but’ in: the intervening year, the American con- sumers had been robbed of hundreds of thousands of dollars through the higher prices for domestic goods which went into effect as soon as the higher duty was enforced. With the enactment of the Payne-Al- drich bill in August, 1909, interpretation of the new act fell into Reynolds’ hands. -He continued in this work until his appointment to the Tariff Board at the end of October, °1909.

FFFORT TOGRAB | IATERS PIERCE DENIED BY JOHN D Oil King and 15 Associates File Affidavits in Suit to Vote Their Stock. HE HOLDS 680. SHARES Declare They Were Within Rights and Contend Concern’s Assets Were Dissipated. _—- The affidavits of % stockholders of the Waters Pierce Oil Co., including John D. Rockefeller, were filed in the United States District Court at St. Louis Monday in the suit of H. M. Tilford against Henry Clay Pierce and the Pierce officers and board of direc- ters of the Waters Pierce Oil Co. Til- ford is seeking to oust the Pierces and their directors and officers from control of the company. ; The affidavits set up the fact that Rockefeller and the 15 other stockhold- ers owned certain numbers of shares of of stock in the Waters Pierce Oil Co. last February, and had the legal right to vote those shares either in person or by proxy, but that the Pierces, through their election tellers, refused to receive the ballots. Charles M. Adams, former secretary of the company, charges in his affi- davit that the Waters Pierce company, after borrowing $1,500,000, at 8 per cent, held $600,000 ‘“‘for some hidden purpose.”’ He says he thinks the “hidden purpose’’ was to buy an oil refinery at Okmulgee, OK. Rockefeller Has 680 Shares. Rockefeller makes affidavit that he owned 680 shares of stocks. Some of the others besides Rockefel- ler making affidavits were John )D. Archbold, Charles M. Adams, H. M. Ti!- ford, M. F. Elliott, James A. Moffitt. Alfred D. Eddy, George W. Mayer, A C. Bedford, R. W. Stewart, R. P. Tins- ley, James Amm and H. N. Hanna. Tilford’s suit 1s a result of the fight made by the Standard Oil of- ficials and stockholders to regain control of the Waters Pierce Oil Co. The Standard interests own more than a majority of the stock, and started a legal fight for control of the company when the Pierce tellers refused to receive their votes cast for R. W. Stewart for president to succeed Clay Arthur Pierce, son of Henry Clay Pierce. Counter Charges Made. The Standard interests charged that the assets of the Waters Pierce com- pany, under the Pierce ‘management, had been dissipated. Pierce, in his an- swer, charged that the Standard Oil interests were seeking to ruin the oil business of the country by control, through individuals friendly to Standard Oil, of the directorates of the subsidiary corporations owned by Standard before its dissolution under the decree of the United States. Supreme Court. Rockefeller states in his affidavit that he executed and delivered his proxy at the last annual meeting of the stock- holders. He understood and believed, he states in the affidavit, that he had the legal right to vote the shares as he pleased in selecting directors. He understood, he states, that he had the legal right to give any other person or persons his proxy to vote the stock as they might deem to be in the best interest of the Waters Pierce Oil Co. He also understood that he had the legal right to co-operate with other shareholders in electing directors. Denies; Pian to Dominate. It was no part’ of his purpose, he states, to cause or permit his shares to be voted in any manner that would place the control of the Waters-Pierce company or conduct of its business un- der the domination of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey or the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, or any other person or corporation except the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. and its stockholders, but it was his. purpose in good faith that the shares should be voted for the proper persons. At no time, he states, was there any understanding, expressed or implied, tuo cause the Waters-Pierce to be conduct- ed by the Standard Oil Co. of New Jer- sey or Indiana, or to be so conducted as to violate either the decree of the United States courts or the courts cf Missouri, or any other law. “ACTOIDS” Act Actively Laxative or Purgative—Take ‘‘ACTOIDS’’ ‘“*ACTOID BALM" For Chapped Lips, Etc —— F - ai ao a - we Solid Silver Tablewares Summer entertaining requires a distinct and full equipment of silver tableware. lemonade and iced tea spoons, coasters that protect your polished tables?

© FUNDRAISERS ARE NAMED BY MAYOR W. Frank Carter Heads Commit- tee to Solicit $10,000 for Vig- orous Electioneering. VOTERS TO BE EDUCATED Delay in Completing Free Bridge Cost Taxpayers $380 a Day With No Return « The committee of business men who Will solicit subscriptions to a fund of $10,000 to pay the legitimate expenses of the free bridge bond issue campaign has been appointed by Mayor Kreis- mann. The Mayor was elected chairman of the bond issue meeting held Friday in the city hall by business men interested in the completion of the free bridge. The members of the committee who will make a hurry-up request for funds in the next two weeks while the cam- paign is on will be: Chairman, W. Frank Carter, vice- president of the Mercantile Trust Co. George Warren Brown, of Brown Shoe Co. Theodore F. Meyer, of Meyer Bros. Drug Co. Elias Michael, of the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Co. Fred G. Zeibig, of Cornet & Zeibig. About 100 business men attended the meeting at which the campaign fund committee was authorized. President Powe of the Lumbermen’s Exchange, announced at the meeting that he would appoint a committee from that organ- ization to accompany the members of the general committee in soliciting funds from the lumber interests. Presi- dent Shollmeyer of the Real Estate Kx- change satd he would appoint a like committee to co-operate with the gen- eral committee in collecting funds in’ fieal Estate Row. Officials of other business organizations stated they would assist in collecting funds from their members. Committee Meets Tomorrow. The committee is scheduled to meet Mionday at 3 p. m. in the Mayor’s office io consider plans for making ‘an effect- ive campaign for funds, The money col- lected will be turned over to the As- sociated Retailers, from whose head- quarters the campaign will be directed. D. S. Ralston, chairman of the Free Sridge Committee of the Associated Re- tailers, has announced that about $2700 has been donated to the fund, of which $1100 has been -expended. He stated} that about $10,000 would be necessary to carry out the campaign planned by the organization. The money collected will be used for two general purposes, according to pres- ent clafms—(1) to carry on a campaign of education to explain that the ordi- nances providing for the completion of the bridge and approaches and for the rules and regulation of the structure will adequately protect the city’s inter- ests and accomplish what the voters in- tended when they approved the consid- eration of the bridge, and (2) to get out the vote at the special bond election Aug. 5. : Workers will be appointed in the vari- ous precincts to work at the polls and urge the registered voters to cast their ballots. The polls will be open from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m. In the néxt two weeks the objections raised by opponents to the bond issue will be taken up and answered by the campaign managers and city officials. Speakers assigned by the Speakers’ Bu- reau will-attend meetings throughout the city to explain the issues and answer objections raised by bond opponents. Opponents of the bond issue will be in- vited to debate the problems involved at several meetings so that those at- tending can hear both sides before de- ciding how to vote. ENGINEER, a.

PASSING, | SEES BROTHER DROWN He Does Not Know It Until Later—Three Negroes: Said Not to Have Tried to Save | Lad. Lee Deatherage, engineer of a Balti- more & Ohio freight train, watched the struggles of a drowning boy in Vandalia slough, as his engine drove past the slough, Sunday, and congratu- lated himself that his two younger brothers had been warned not to go swimming in the slough. A short while afterward he learned the drowning boy was his brother, William, 12 years old, who had got beyond his depth and drowned before help could reach him. The Deatherages are sons of William Deatherage, 514 West Broadway, East St. Louis. Peter, another brother, was near the slough, but was powerless to aid his brother. Three negroes, fishing within 20 feet of where the child sank, made no effort to rescue him. They said they could not swim. The slough is one of several close to the Mississippi River on the East Side. It deepens abruptly about 20 feet out. A diver found the body eight min- utes after the boy sank. “ACTOIDS” Act Actively Take “ACTOIDS” For Malaria “ACTOID BALM” For Ringworm DIES AS AIM IS REACHED

The sermon will be a sequel to the one which he . preached Sunday at the Windsor Methodist Episcopal Church, in Baden, and in which he recited a new decalogue, of which he said Satan was the author. The minister, after reading what he called the *new fen commandments, asked how many of those present were trying to follow the commandments handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai. M ost of the hands upraised in response were those of the older and middle- aged persons. When he asked how many preferred the modern version he had given, a number of young folks on the rear benches displayed their palms. One of Commandments. One of the commandments in the sa- tirical decalogue recited by the min- ister, replacing the familiar ‘““‘Remem- ber the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” was an injunction to go to baseball games on Sunday. Postor de Burgh would follow this up with a sermon on Sunday baseball. to it said Monday he This pastime appears hint an espectally great—evil, because keeps young men away from church. The youths cannot even wait until after- noon, but must hold amateur games in the morning to put them in proper frame of mind to enjoy the league game after dinner. At night they are too tired to go out, or they seek moving picture shows, he said. Thinks It Justifiable. The minister said he thought it would be justifiable for him to spend a Sunday ‘afternoon at a baseball park, to find out how the sport is conducted on that day, and how many church members of his acquaintance are in attendance. Pastor’ de Burgh is a graduate of the University of Glasgow and has been in the United States during most of his active ministry. He was assigned to the Winsor ‘Church in Baden at the last conference.

POPE PIUS MARVELS AT MOVING PICTURES Priest Secretly Catches Pontiff in Flower Gardens and His Holi- ness Lauds Americans. ROME, July 22.—Moving pictures just taken of Pope Pius, in the Vatican, have caused the Pontiff te marvel at American inventive genius. A domestic priest, noticing the joy of the Pope after he had seen the inauguration of a new Campanile in his beloved Venice picured by films, purchased a machine and learned how to operate it. Without letting the Pope into the se- cret, the priest got some excellent films of the Holy Father tending his favorite fiowers in the garden of the Vatican. When he was shown himself moving about, true to every gesture and expres- sion, the Pontiff remarked: ‘*"Wonderful! Wonderful, indeed! How God must love these Americans to bless them with the power of creating sueh astounding things! Why, that is life it- welf!"’

A HOME Wants Her to Work Nights, He Says, and Live at His Residence. A warrant charging George M. Ho- worth of 4100 Maryland ayenue, with sending an obscene letter through the mails, was issued Monday by United States Commissioner iMtchell, on evi- dence supplied by Miss Minnie Lancken, 2% years old, of 4101 West Pine boule- vard. Howarth is 4 years old and says he has been divorced several years. As related in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, he was arrested at 11 p. m. Saturady'‘as he stepped from a street car with Miss Lafcken after a ‘trip to Creve Coeur Lake. Miss Lancken was employed by the postal officials to. trap Howorth, after a 17-year-old girl had complained that she had received a su tive let- ter when she replied to one of his ad- vertisements for “a girl to do office work in the evening.”’ ha Followed by Detectives. f Miss Lancken met Howorth by ap- pointment Saturday afternoon at the re- ception room of a department store. They went to a restaurant, to Ho- worth’s home, to a second restaurant and then to Creve Coeur Lake, followed all the time by Detectives Heckel ani annigan and Inspector D. F. Angier of ‘the postal secret service. Miss Lancken and the detectives say Howorth was very affectionate, calling the young woman “Honey” and “Babe’’ and keeping his arm around her a great deal of the time. Howorth declared after his arrest that he employed between 40 and 60 giris to address envelopes for him. He de- nied having written an improper let- ter and having made love to Miss Lan- cken. The letter is as follows:. “Dear Miss—I desire to employ a ung lady to write two'‘evenings a “Week and part of Sunday (three hours), morning or afternoon, whichever you prefer.

Jannus’ Machine at Creve Coeur: Lake. Thousands of. persons -who_ witnessed Anthony’ Jannus’ hydro-aeroplane exhi- bition at>Creve Cgeur Lake Sunday missed a thrill because’ they did» not know the machine struck a snag, when it descended to the lake, and was in srave danger of sinking. The coolness*in the’ presence of unex- pected emergencies, which is a part: of every successful aviator’s equipment, en- abled Jannus to keep afloat until he reached the shore and the spectators never knew anything was wrong. For more than a minute, however, Jan- nus was watching the head of a torn. pontoon to see how rapidly it.was sink- ing. He increased the speed of his motor sufficiently to keep the pontoon head out of water and'in this way got safely to land. © Flight a Test_Trip.. The flight was the first try-out of 2 made-in-St. Louis air-and-water ma- chine and the second hydro-aeroplane flight ever attempted here. Jannus flew to the landing place at Creve Coeur from Kinloch aviation field in the fore- noon and: spent most of the day adjust- ing hydroplane. attachments, which con- sisted of.a’ pontoon. 15° feet’ long,* 5 feet wide and 18 inches deep under’ the body of the bi lane, with: miniature: pontoons under each. wing. and an air chamber under the tail: 3 At 5’p. m. the. didjustments ’ satisfied Jannus. and ‘he: decided to ‘mdke~.the flight. As the machine was: ‘shoved out of persons formed a fringe of humanity bordering ‘the high ‘ bluff‘ to’ the” ‘One side and the.low banks.to. the other... .« - Clad in a’ swimming sult, Janhus took his seat. * ‘A’ man’ rowed: out>in’a skiff and started the propeller blades. When this man had been. drawn, to shore under one of the wings,, J Janaus gave a signal. Starting slowly, "put / gathering. speed: as it went, the’ ‘machine skimmed’ over the surface’ of the Jake. - Then Jannus gave the. rudder..a tit. and the plane arose from the lake like, 4 huge water bird. A ‘shout from’ the crowd pro- Soars to Nearly 1000 Feet. The maonine, ascended in huge spirals until it, had’ reached a. height of .close upon 1000 feet. Jannus circled the ‘lake several times. When he ‘started to de- ecend, however, a difficulty appeared. The lake, was dotted with the canoes and skiffs of pleasure seekers. To strike one of these boats would be dan- gerous. So’ he hovered over the lake until he found a suitable space. The machine plunged down upon the water and headed swiftly for shore. As it did so, the big Pontoon struck. a half submerged buoy ‘and a hole was ripped in the, ttom of it. | The Hontoons began.to fill, but Jannus managed to get his crett —_- eoreee it could sink.

NAMES BEAUTIES OF HISTORY IN SUIT FOR MAINTENANCE Wife of 80-Year-Old Millionaire Says Spirits Have Alienated His Affections. DENVER, Colo., July 22.—That the astral body of her 80-year-old husband, Alonzo Thompson, millionaire, goes 0. night excursions with such dwellers in the spirit world as Cleopatra, Mary Queen of Scots, Dido and Sappho, is the charge made in a suit for separate maintenance filed here by Mrs. Annie L. Thompson. Both Mr. and Mra. Thompson are spiritualists. The wife ad- mits that the husband’s body stays home at nights, but she insists that his spirit is nightly ‘‘cutting up” along the Great White Way of the Spirit World. When the case comes to trial Mra. Thompson will name women famed in history. She will explain to the Court that her husband is nightly master >of ceremonies at gatherings where the spirits of these women are his compan: ions. Feels Their Presence Mrs. Thompson declares: that her spirit has tried to break ‘through the mystic veil that hides her “husband's gay, Lothario-like astral self and his ethereal communicants in ‘the spirit room, but without avail. All” she knows that she feels their presence and “that they are not good spirits, so far as mortality goes, nor wicked, but they have alienated her husband’s af- fections. While she will not go into detail in court as to the midnight ma- raudings of historic spirits in the spirit room, because she says “ignorant per- sons will laugh,’’ her friends sympa- thize with her and talk of the shades of Sappho, Dido of Carthage, Lais of Corinth, Cleopara and other co-respond- ents as “cats” and “bold things.”’ The allegations in the suit will bring squarely before the court the entire question of belief in spirits. Thompson, in a crossbill, declares that his wife has hounded him through ‘three states in order to have him de- clared insane. He is reported to have said: , “I want to see my wife humbled so that she may realize what I have done for her and to force my soa, who now poses as the best-dressed man in Den- ver, on my money, to go out and earn his own living.”’ Supporting the contention that the astral portion of her spouse’s being visits his affinities of the spirit world, Mrs. Thompsen gives the following eightly. schedule of her husband's ‘“Gates’’ with his charming auras: Sunday night—Cleopatra. Monday night—Diana de Poictiers. Tuesday night—Mary, Queen of Scots. Wednesday thage. Thursday night—Lais of Corinth. Friday night—Mme. Pompadour. Saturday night—Mme. Recamier. When he heard of his wife's Thompson said: “The only spirit. whose advance I ever followed was that which helped me to choose my wife.”’ BLOW ON ANKLE IS FATAL night—Dido of Car- suit, Baseball Hits Boy and Blood Poisoning Follows. NEWARK, N. J., July 22,—George Campbell, a schoolboy dballplayer, is dead of blood’ poisoning at a hospital here. A week ago the boy was watch- ing the game. of baseball between two semi-professional teams when a wild ball thrown by one of the pitchers struck him on the ankle. The bruise grew rapidly worse arid three days later he was taken to the hospital.

COMMITTEE RELL SUPPORT TAFT Illinois Candidate for Governor Considers President Republic- an Nominee. By Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 22.—The committee of progressive Republicans who were appointed. by Medill McCor- mick to wait on Gov. Deneen and ascer- tain whether he would support Taft or Roosevelt for President were informed by tHe Governor today that he consid- ered Taft the regular nominee of the Republican party for President, and that as such he felt obligated to sup- port his candidacy. Secretary of State Doyle, Auditor of Public Accounts McCullough and At- torney-General Stead were waited on by the committee and gave the same answer as did Gov. Denen. Andrew Rus- sell, candidate for State Treasurer, made no reply, but told Chairman Mc- Cormick he would send him an answea by mail. Lieutenant-Governor Oglesby, who is at Elkhart, was asked by letter hy Chairman McCormick, and has made no answer. Following the interviews with the State officers the Progressive ‘Republi- can Committee held a conferenc®é at the end of which Chairman McCormick an- nounced that the Progressive Republi- cans would put a third party State tick- et in the field, but there would prob- ably be no new county tickets. CHICAGO, July 22.—“There must be a full third party State ticket in Illi- nois, with candidates for Governor and other offices favorable to oo. Roose- velt.”’ That was the ultimatum of Senator Joseph M. Dixon, Col. Roosevelt's cam- paign manager, delivered today to the Illinois leaders of the third party move- ment. It was in answer to doubt ex- pressed at Roosevelt headquarters here whether a third ticket would be put out in the State. Senator Dixon was emphatic in his stand for a third party ticket. ‘It would be folly for Col. Roose- velt to attempt to run on a ticket mere- ly for the electoral vote,” he. said. “That would be only a moral. protest and not a campaign. As for putting Taft and Roosevelt both at the head of the Republican ticket in Dlinois, tha: is silly. Col, Roosevelt has resigneij from the old Republican party. Our campaign marks the birth of a’ new party entirely free from ail the oll parties.’’ Charles E. Merriam and-State Senator Walter Clyde Jones, who withdrew from a recent mass meeting of Roosevelt supporters at which a call was issued for a State convention for Aug. 3 in Chicago because the meeting refused to provide specifically for a State ticket, were among those whom Senator Dixon called into conference. When shown Gov. Deneen’s announce- ment that he would support President Taft, Senator Dixon said: ‘It simply means that Gov. Deneen is not in the Progressive party and that a third party candidate against him will be put out.” Arrested on Arrival in Wales.

The recent large Republican majorities in this city have drawn an extraordinary list of candi- dates fnto the primaries. There is ground for special wonder that some of the candidates should seek nominations. For instance, there is former Judge William Zachritz, who ig a candidate for the Circuit berch. Judge Zachritz in his last race for re- election was justly defeated on his official rec- ord. The Republican majority is likely to be greatly diminished this year unless an excep- tionally strong ticket is named. It will van- ish altogether if it is loaded with candidates like Judge Zachritz.

The three American hotels most famous -for their associations with politics were the old Fifth Avenue Hotel fm New York, the Arlington Hotel in Washington and the Southern Hotel in S&t. Louis. The first has disappeared. The second is

being demolished to make way for a new struc-}: ture. St. Louis is shocked to learn that on Aug. 1 the third will cease to be a hotel. Probably few attendants on the several na- tional conventions held in St. Louis in recent years have returned home without a feeling that no other hotel in the country was as well adapted to large gathcrings as“the Southern. Perhaps nowhere else were the ideas of the old hotel ar- chitecture worked out in as characteristic a man- mer and on as elaborate .a scale. The prodigal hospitality of the old architecture would make the cautious, skimpy, profit-figuring hospitality of the new skyscraper hotel architecture stand aghast. | “Our business is to be selling space as well as prepared food,” says the new skyscraper architec- ture. “Nobody would expect us to give every] other meal or every other drink free. Why should we be expected to provide more space in rooms than enables a guest to turn ‘round when the furniture is all in?” But the old architecture’s aims were different. Even the advantages of the Southern’s exception- a! site, covering practically an entire block and fronting on four streets, were not regarded as sufficient. Wide corridors, high ceilings and huge chambers on its upper floors were planned oh a view to a maximum of light, air and com- Peacock alley in Chicago is an alley, indeed, jump, but the sum ROOSEVELT SOLICITS THE TRUSTS. “A contract with the people’ is what Roose- velt calls his platform which he is preparing with the aid of George W. Perkins et al. “A contrac® with the trusts” is what the platform will offer, if it holds true to the published pros- pectus. Instead of Government ownership of the trusts, Roosevelt will offer an inverted socialism—trust ownership of the Government.’ Nominally what he proposes will be regulation of monopolies’ by the familiar “commission” which shall have power also to fix maximum and minimum rates; such regulation to be in lieu of prosecution un- der the Sherman act. Under proper guidance from the White House, such a commission would confer more than immunity upon the trusts. It would empower, protect and make monopoly master of all it surveyed. Plainly, the creation of such a commission would leave the trusts but one thing more to de- sire—a friend or creature of their own in the executive chair to man and to guide the commis- sion. The same friend who as President abetted Steel’s absorption of Tennessee Coal and Iron would consummate the ideal. What is the consideration at this season for this monstrous “contract” in substance to deliver the country to the great corporate interests? As literally as if in written words, the contract com- prehends that the parties of the second part shall transfer and deliver to the party of the first part their political power and backing. Roosevelt’s program plainly invites the interests to abandon Taft utterly and bring themselves and their old machinery to him. He will rehabilitate the old forces and reconstruct the old party, under the new name if need be, under the old name per- haps, under whatever name convenience or cir- cumstance dictates—but the reality and substance will be that of the old Republican party and its organized power. In the Roosevelt platform the great corpora- ticns will see a new light. -Looking ahead, just as he indubitably does, past 1916, they may see themselves in partnership with the Government and policed by a President in the comfortable en; joyment of far more abundant privileges than they have known. We shall not be surprised at rapid secessions from Taft and a corresponding rapid alignment of the powers of privilege behind Roosevelt. They cannot win this year, but they can reconstruct the working force for future campaigns. —

With what offense will an innocent young girl be charged when she is dragged down into a dirty police court by one of,our killjoy Park Commis- sioner’s plain clothes snoopers, who has sneaked up and caught her sitting on a secluded bench amid the beauty, purity and charm of Nature, with her fiance’s arm about her? With what offense wil] she be charged? We venture to say that the first time the Public Chaperon's anti-spooning crusade makes a victim of some young man’s innocently affection- ate sweetheart and disgraces some mother’s daughter there will be a protest from respectable households loud enough to startle the statue of Frank P. Blair and rattle the panes in the city hall. But it should give the Master of Proprieties and Arbiter of Public Manners pause just to consider the p t in which his closing of the parks to Cupi@™ minions leaves the poor lovers from the boarding-houses, flats and tenements. To be sure, they may be happy wherever they can be alone, but where shal] they go to pursue their proper courtship? (Or, is courtship im- proper?) Hundreds of thousands of matches have been made in a heaven that resembled a St. Louis park. Henceforth must sweethearts, and especially the poor in the congested dis- tricts, seek their happy solitude on the fire es- cape, the roof behind the smokestack, the curb- stone, or in the beer garden, the dim but warm recess of the picture show, or ‘perchance the unromantic street car? Alas, that poor innocents should be driven from Eden for holding hands or the crime of a kiss! It is cruel, it is- unusual and it is unconstitutional! "=

THE: POST-DISPATCH DAILY SHORT STORY

through some of the most remote “Yegions of the Canadian wilder- yess, and on July 14, 1881, in com- pany with my French-Canadian nog guide, Prosper Tranquil, I beached aa canoe above the famous rapid and ‘alls of Les Grandes Piles, on the St. > Maurice River, and prepared to go into “camp for the night. 5 re As there still remained an hour or ¥ age more of daylight, I took my easel to a “point some, short distance above the ro ie ump. I heard a loud hail from the i iter and saw a canoeist approaching “ha gre r camp. From his garb and general "ye appearance I perceived that he was an > artist, like myself. =. “I am out to see if I can catch a sal- "mon for supper,” cried the canoeist, ad- | dressing my guide. Perhaps you can telljit pad = me where I shall be most likely to get uh ‘a rise ?’’ "= “Better go up stream long ways for HAD been on a sketching tour ae . >» tush,” shouted Prosper, who was stand- © ing, ax in hand, watching the canoeist rather anxiously. ‘‘Current strong as ‘Dull moose. You git lettle way furder » down, you go over falls, sure!” I became so engrossed in my work that I quite forgot the incident until © something drifted across my field of Vision as I sketched. It was the man ') iu the canoe. He had hooked a gamy > salmon and was fighting a battle royal * with the big fish. So excited and en- grossed was he that he never raised his eyes to the shore at ali, but kept them fixed steadily on the water, where the taut line cut zigzag through ft. He lit- tle realized the speed at which he was being carried downstream. Alternately watching and working with nervous uncertainty at my sketch, I saw the fisherman approach the dan- ger line, just below our camp. Finally reached it, kneeling down in the canoe, with his landing net extended toward the now thoroughly exhausted mon. bok out there! sad bes ed up in startled surprise and seeing where he was, dropped tackle and rod overboard, grabbed up his paddie and began to fight the cur- ° t manfully. | @ was a good paddler and even then -might have gone well—for he was gaining against the river by inches—had mot the madness of terror induced the man to plant the blade of his paddle (against a submerged rock, which it grazed in passing, and give a mighty shove. The convulsive movement snapped the paddle in twain! The blade popped to the surface and went whirling downstream, with the canoe alongside it. For a fatal moment the man in the Canoe seemed paralyzed with horror. en he sprawled forward and caught up the reserve paddle, without which no experienced canoeist trusts himself upon swift water. But by the time he had straightened up and plunged the fresh paddle into the torrent it was evident that he had passed. the point where human sinews could hold their Own against the furious flood.

For an instant he clung thus, with his hands grasping the sides of the canoe. Then, with wondering astonishment, I saw him reach quickly forward and catch up something that lay- in the stern of the canoe. For a moment I could not-make out what it was. Then I perceived that it was one of those big, yellow sun umbrellas that every artist carries to protect himself against the sun while at work in exposed places. The umbrella had evidently been lying in the bottom of the canoe-when the artist unpacked his duffle, and had been allowed to remain, as of too slight im- portance to remove. Quickly—for but an instant of time remained for action—he flung opem the umbrella and rose to his feet. Then, as the canoe quivered and poised upon the rounding edge of the cataract—to which seemed to shoot up out of a watery depression—he gathered himself together and made a wild outward and forward leap, holding the strong um- brella spread above him. “Come on!” cried Prosper, letting him- self down into a cleft in the rocks, through which a difficult path led to the bottom of the cliff. We scrambled down as fast as we could without danger to of the rapids below. lay shimmering a narrow strip of sand beach, that marked the terminus of the rapids below the falls. As we neared this beach, in panting haste, we saw some dark object stretched out on the wHite sand. It was the form of the man in the canoe—the man who had leapved over the falls. As I stumbled to his side my heart beat as if it would suf- focate me. Was she alive? Could it be that he had survived the strange and terrible experience through which he had passed? We drew the inert body to a half- submerged log and rolled it to and fro, till the water ran.from the man’s lungs. Then, stripping the body to the waist, we used every means of resuscitation known to the woodsman. At length the man’s eyelids began to quiver slightly: he gave a gasping breath or two and commenced to writhe in the physical agony that accompanies restoration to life after the vital spark has almost flickered out. But as, beneath our vig- orous chafing, the blood began to circu- late freely in its wonted channels again, the man’s pain abated, and presently He opened his eyes and attempted to’sit up. oe than an hour he was able to talk Ww us. : ; Oddly enough, the yellow umbrella was cast ashore only a short distance from where its owner landed, and Pros- per found it and brought it to us, as we sat discussing the adventure. The um- brella was pretty badly torn; one or two ribs were hanging loose and the handle was broken. But it was far from being the total wreck I expected to see. “It’s lucky,” said the stranger, ‘that you and your guide were permitted to be eye-witnesses of this strange adventure of mine, for otherwise, although I might show -the umbrella as evidence, no one would believe my story.” He aused for a moment, looked thought- ully at the tattered umbrella, and then laughingly asked: “How did I look, anyway, g0ing down over the falls?’’ Before I could reply Prosper broke forth excitedly: “Oh, bah gosh!

But she refused the glittering offer and con- tinued to devote herself to the aged and bankrupt man whose wife she was. Returning to Paris after Napoleon's downfall, she once more made her draw- ing rooms the center of French society. The Duke of Wellington, fresh from his victory at Waterloo, came to see_her. Like all other men he was attracted by her irrisistible fascinations. But ‘she was a patriot before she was a hostess, and when Wellington spoke lightly of her country she ordered him out of her ‘house. It was no light matter to treat the hero of the hour in this fashion, and her action caused much excitement. But it strengthened her wonderful popular- ity. | For a full half century Mme.

Her father, a country gentleman, re- sided at the foot of the Malvern Hills, and in this beautiful retreat his delicate daughter's girlhood was passed. From a very early age she showed a remarkable preference for the arts, par- ticularly poetry. She wrote verse worthy of preservation before she was 15. Though physically deficient, nature be- stowed upon her an unusually sensitive mental and spiritual organization.

“An Essay on Mind, With Other Poems,” appeared when she was 16. But though it was remarkable, she was 80 dissatisfied with this, her first volume, that she omitted it in the collected edi- tions of her. poems. . ; i deal Deprived of the usual pleasufes of healthy young people, she made a world of her own. . The drowning of her favorite brother, to which mental shock had been added just a while. previous the physical shock consequent upon the bursting of a blood vessel of the lungs, left her so weakened that for years she lived in a darkened room, visited only by her family and a few friends. Settling down to her fate with sweet resignation she sent forth works which have challenged the admiration of the world. Her studies were early directed to the poets of antiquity, and under the guid- ance of her blind tutor, Boyd, she mas- tered the rich treasures of Aeschylus, whose sublime compositions had for her a charm only equaled by the fascina- tion held over her by Shakspeare. Her health at length partially re stored, she was married, in 184, to Robert Browning, already well known to the world as a poet and artist. They resided for four years in Florence, Italy, Mrs. Browning returning to England a new creature. Mr. Browning learned to love the in- valid poetess through her works, Theirs, was a perfect union. Hach had marked individuality, each had poetic power, and each was.the complement of the other. The greatest power of Mrs. Browning lay in her heart. voice, eloquent with passion, possessing the unusual combination of a. man’s brain and a woman’s heart. She treated social problems in a mas- terly way, and at the same time eet forth the tenderest sentiments of wom- an’s heart, of which her “Cry of the Children”’ is a striking f!lustration, com- bining with her keenness of feeling the eloquent power of a philanthropist, The wide range of her powers may be] gathered by a comparison between “A Child’s Thought of God” and Guida Windows.” Her fame chiefly rests upon “Aurora Leigh,”’ the longest and most finished of all her works, a narrative and didactic poem in nine books, published in 1854. She died in Florence, June 2, 1961. Mrs. Browning has shown the posaibil- ity of the highest forms of poetic art being within the scope of woman's genius.

Her song was a living} “Casal OMAN may originally have W been man’s rib; but from the way in which he ts arraigning and assailing her in the newspapers nowadays she ap- pears to have become his bone of contention. No woman wants her husband to be a woman-hater, but she doesn’t object to his disliking them each, individually. A man’s heart is not an organ, but a pianola, which may be easily played upon by any woman who knows the combination and presses the right button. : _ There is as much difference be- tween the appearance of a pretty girt in a motor bonnet and of a wife with her head tied up in a dust-rag as between the honeymoon amile of a husband and his coal- bill grouch. ‘Going on a tear’’ is to a man }

Never rob a child of his belief in Santa Claus, a woman of her belief in love nor a man of his be- lief in himself. All’s fair in love, war and hot weather. A girl always knows exactly what kind of man she wants to marry, but a widow knows all the kinds she doesn’t want to marry, ° and usually makes @ safe selection by the wise process of elimination.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., July. 22. HOMAS ANDREWS, sporting editor of a local paper, Amer- ican representative of Hugh McIntosh, the Australian fight promoter, has obtained Jack Johnson's ‘signature to articles of agreement calling for two fights to take place in Australia, one with Sam Langford, the other with Sam McVey. For these bouts Johnson is guaranteed a total of $60,000, of which $30,000 is for the Langford engagement and $20,000 for that with McVey. He also has the option of taking a percentage of the gate. Johnson, while he has signed articles, has not posted a forfeit for appearance; but this is a mere detail. For a long time Johnson has withheld -his signa- ture, saying he was satisfied with his earnings and his glory and that he would break training forever Labor day. According to the signed agreement, Johnson must depart for Australia not later than September and will be ex- pected to defend his title in December and January, probably meeting McVey first. It will be summer season in Aus- tralia at the time of year specified. McIntosh Gave Johnson First Chance, MelIntosh, who is back of the coming enterprises, promoted the Burns-John- son fight, in which Johnson gained his title. Andrews took the articles to Johnson in Chicago and as the matter had all been discussed and agreed upon between the two men when the articles arrived Johnson quickly took his foun- tain pen in hand and appended his sig- nature. The larger purse, $30,000, is offered for the Langford fight because the Bos- ton “Tar Baby” recently whipped Mc- Vey in Australia. Besides the purses, Johnson is to receive transportation from Chicago to Australia and return for three people. According to the news of agreenient, MolIntosh will post $10,000 at the First National or any other Chicago Bank acceptable to Johnson before the cham- pion leaves this country, and Johnson is tc post $1000 to guarantee his appearance in Australia. The rest of the $50,000 purse is to be posted by McIntosh in Australia on Johnson’s arrival, or a reasonable time before the first bout goes on, The bouts are to be of ‘20 rounds or or to a finish, according to the wish of Mr. McIntosh.” That is, they will be to a finish if McIntosh can persuade the Australia authorities that a finish fight for a world’s championship is a good thing. - Recently all boxing bouts in Australia have been limited to 2 rounds. The au- thorities, as in France and in New York, have agreed upon certain rules Johnson Has Defeated Both Fighters Whom He Has Signed to Fight: LTHOUGH neither of the Aus- . A tralian ‘battles for which Johnson has contracted -will: be a Flynn fiasco, Johnson has won decisions over both men: corr ‘ April 15, 1906, Langford fought 16 rounds with Johnson at Chelsea, Mass., and lost the detision: Lang- ford was then but 4 years old and weighed about 160 pounds. Johnson's fights with McVey are as follows: 1908 (McVey was only 18 years old)—McVey was twice outpointed by Johnson in 2-round bouts at Los Angeles. ‘ 1904—Johnson knocked out McVey in the last round of a 2-round mill at San Francisco. and restrictioris. In Australia the en- forcement of these regulations is partic- ularly severe. The Australians not only bar hitting in clinches, but refuse to al- low “in-fighting.’’ This was a great handicap to Langford in his two fights with McVey, for Langford is a great in-fighter and prefers closer range at ali times. It will go against Johnson ‘as well, as Jack's gréat specialty is clinch- ing and holding and interfering with his man and shooting through uppercuts in clinching and in the breaks. Andrews says that. Johnson really wants to take the trip to Australia, and that his desire for the ocean voyage had much to do wtih his acceptance Andrews adds that Johnson thinks he is in first-class shape, and that he need fear no difficulty in beating efther Langford or McVey. He wants to make a big clean-up before bringing off his contemplated retirement from the ring. Tough on Jeanctte, . The most disappointed man in America when Johnson sails will) be Joe Jean- ette. Possibly Johnson is picking out the Langford and McVey_ matches through a disinclination to mingle with Jeanette, who has a discouraging way of bobbing up after knockdowns, and wearing his man out in long ‘fights. es} Browns Oppose C.

SHORTSTOP | | GAME IN LEAGUE Cardinals’ Midget Infielder Out- shines Even the Once Mighty Doolan. By W. J. O’CONNOR. Mike Doolan of .the Phillies long has been honored as the ‘‘greatest fielding shortstop in baseball.’””’ But Mickey now is on the shady side of his baseball career and isn’t making plays he did in years past. Withal he has few equals in“the big ring. However, sooner or later, Doolan’s successor must be developed. The youngster, whose ability will be mea- sured by contrast. with Doolan, is due to arrive in the big League spotlight before many moons, because Doolan is passing into eclipse. Perhaps he’s al- ready here. “Pewee” Coming Leader, But if it were left to a-vote of the Robison: Field fans they would unant-. ‘motisfy pick Arnold Hauser ‘as Deolan’s, 4+ successor.: .Pewee. has played as “senga: | tional a@.game of shortstop for the past two. weeks as any man could. He's making stops in territory that should be guarded ‘by Mowrey and Huggins and ‘pegging his man ‘out at ‘first by. most impossible throws. He heaves the ball out of his hip pocket, over-hand, under-hand and any- way that his fancy chooses. But all the while he’s making the out. Hau- ser these days is covtring more ground than any shortstop in the Na- tional League. His aim has been deadly and he has registered the biggest hit of any player on Roger’s club. The fans recognize in him one of the great players of the League. Saved Three Hits Saturday. He cut off three hits in Saturday’s Brook- lyn game. ~ He stole a sure single from Doo- lan in the second inning Sunday. He took another away from Paskert in the third. He turned what looked like a single for Dooin into a double play in the fifth and wound up by stealing a safety from LBTarl Moore in the sixth. By that time the fans were ready to sign over their life insurance to Pewee. Philadelphia players believe the National League race js over. And they are chesty enough to allow that they put the quietus on the noisy row that was developing in Lynch's League. They Stopped the Cubs. When the Phils invaded Chicago last + Wednesday the Cubs were considered ‘‘white hopes.’’ Chance’s team then was only seven and one-half games behind McGraw’s mob. The Giants, after losing seven out of nine to the Cubs and Cardinals, were due to battle the Pirates and next the Reds. The outlook for Chicago cuttimg down the New York lead by at least two more games seemed roseate. But what happened: The Phillies. threw the hooks into the Bruins for four out of five. The Giants came to life and whipped the Pirates three out of four. MoGraw’s pitchers, including Matty, Marquard and Tesreau, showed a big improvement. And on Sunday the Giants gave further intimation of their intention of winning the National League flag by beat- ing Rube Benton in. Cincinnati. That was the capsheaf. Giants Far in Front. New York has a lead of. full gares. Next Thursday they will open a long series on their own stamping ground, and with this lead they should win in a canter. Here's how Charley Dooin sizes up the situation: “T think the club that wins 100 games will win the pennant. The Giants and Cubs each have 71 more games to play. The Giants must win 88 of those 71 to reach the century mark. The Cubs need 49 of their 71 to tle That meane the Giants can jog along at a .586 clip, while the Cubs must thunder home at the rate of .600. Me for the Giants,’’ ——_—_+———- PERSONAL—Jim: It’s lea .

Not only is he strong but he’s a good boxer as well, and is there with a fast, accurate jab, according to men who have watched him work. His record is by no means hole proof, howeyer. He has been fighting nine years. and in that period. has been knocked out by Jack Johnson, Joe Jean- ette and Denver Ed Martin. Johnson also won two 20-round decisions over Mc- battles Were won when McVey was new 'td the’ game and a mere youth. EARNED FAME IN PARIS, Movers real career began in Paris in 1907, when he had attained something like his real fighting form. all the toy:idols sent over to face him by England. Later he stowed away such “‘white hopes’’ as Jim Stewart, Al Ku- biak and the like. Then came a series of fights with Joe Jeanette which leave the supremacy be- tween them somewhat clouded. McVey defeated Jeanette in 20 rounds when they first met; next he was knocked out by Jeanette in the forty-ninth pe- riod of fighting, and finally he fought a 8-round draw with Jeanette. HAS NOTHING ON LANGFORD. In Paris and Australia McVey also fought a series of battles with Lang- ford, the issue of which leaves the ques- tion of superiority a toss-up. As a result each owns a victory, with the odd bout a draw, in three ®-round encounters. That McVey is game and has the punch is shown in the long gruelling with Jeanette. In this contest Jean- ette was floored no less than 24 times by his opponent. But this indomitable Joseph is the stick-to-it-kid and simply outlasted McVey, who wore himself out trying to make Jeanette “stay put.’’ Samuel Langford. ANGFORD is at a disadvantage, physically, with Jack Johnson. He is more than six inches shorter, measur- ing but 5 feet 6% inches in height; he is also under a weight handicap of about 30 pounds, his best figure being 180 or less. But for all his shortcomings Langford has that in his make-up whick offsets much of the physical'\ disadvant- ages. He is the one and only bear-cat in the ring, being a rusher, a slugger, or a boxer as the occasion may desire, with the sleep thing lurking in either glove all the time. He is conceded by all a dangerous scrapper and it is the pre- vailing impression that Johnson has been side-stepping him. This is not to be believed, however, for Johnson has already beaten Langford, just as he has beaten every other man now in the ring who has presumed to take issue with him. LANGFORD A BUSY BOY. Langford has had much more experi- ence than McVey. Although younger, he began fighting a year earlier and hag been the busy boy ever since. He. has fought four times as many. battles ag MoVey, his epponents including the pick of the country. He has fought six bat- tles with Joe Jeanette and has earned three. decisions and two draws. The fourth; a no-decision bout, was also credited to Langford on ‘points. Thus it will be seem that. both men are dangerous opponents for a middle-aged champion who entertains hopes of retir- ing with his laurels intact. Possibly his salvation of Johnson lies in the fact that they do not permit finish fights in Australia now, limiting encounters to 2-round contests. Neither of the dGarkies named can have any great hope of outpointing Johnson and none*at all of knocking him out, unless he shirks training, or is sent over a finish route. , _ Bob Harmon Had No Chance to Lose; Cards Wouldn’t Let Him — His ‘*on,’" Bob Harmon couldn’t lose Sunday. victory, 8—0O, over the Phillies was for the simple reason that Bob’s teammates refused to accept anything else. They showed a defense that was as solid as the Galveston wall and, try as they would, Dooin’s Daisies covldn’t puncture it with a single when a single meant runs. The Phillie defense cracked behind Earl Moore, whose side-arm shoots usually are hard for the Cards to solve. A pair of wild heaves by Boss Dooin put the Cards in a position to, score three runs. Those three were enough to let Harmon win, walking. Harmon yielded six hits in nine innings. Moore was touched for the same number, in addition to two walks, in seven. Moore quit at the start of the eighth -to let Doc Miller hit, and Toots Shultz finished up. Toots set the Cards down in order in the eighth. Sensational fielding by Hauser, Evans and Magee cut off a bevy of base knocks for Harmon. Then a pair of rattling double- plays, one in the fifth and another in the sixth, nipped Phillie rallies tn their incipi- ency. One gone in the third, Wingo doubled to left. Harmon beat out an infield hit. Hug- gins lined to Paskert, and Wingo. who had wandered off third, didn’t score, but Paskert made a wild heave to Lobert and Harmon advanced from first to second. Magee sin- gied to Knabe, scoring Wingo and sending Harmon to third. Then Magee swiped sec- ond and on Dooin's wild throw Harmon counted and Magee took third. Mowrey walked, but a double steal failed when Ma- gee was nipped at the plate, Koney opened the fourth with a walk. He swiped .second and took third on Doo- in’s wild throw to Doolan. Evans’ singte to center scored the Big Train, Evans was picked off frst, Moore te Luderus. cheats The first two Phillies up in the seventh inning singled. Then Luderus lined to/| Magee. Knabe shot a wicked hopper to/| Harmon who fumbled, forfeiting a double iar. but recovered in time to nip Knabe} at Ona With Magee on shird and Cravath on second, Doolan, a dangerous man in the pinch, died on a roller to Mowrey. Harmon fooled Moore and Lobert on strikes in the third. Both men were called out by BNl Kiem and of: course they kicked, but who wouldn’t? "Twas a great day for the Magee clan. Lee nicked two singles. Sherwood did That double steal which Magee and Mowrey tried in the third was not “on.” On the previous play, Magee hada succesa- fully pulled the double theft with Har- mon, the latter scoring. However, with Lee on third and Mowrey on first and two out. the Phillies were all set for the play. It was a cinch that a man of Magee’s speed surely would try to score. So when Mowrey bolted for second, Dooin pulled the short throw to Doolan whose return had Lee at the plate. Hverybody, even the spectators, was waiting for this play. It was the expected.
