CAUSES ARREST OF HIS 2 BROTHERS UN SHORTAGE CHARGE Brother’s Story Leads to Inves- tigation of Western Union Em- ployes’ Accounts. ONE LIKED JOY RIDING Downfall of C. E. and J. F. Maschmeier Jr. Follows “Other Women” Report.

A brother of J. Fred Maschmeier Jr. and Charles E. Maschmeier, it was learned Friday, gave to officials of the Western Union Telegraph Co. the infor- mation which led to the arrest of the two, .on charges of embezzling more than $2400 each from the company. The brother, whose name was not re- vealed to the prosecuting authorities, went recently to George W. Lubke Jr., attorney for J. Fred Maschmeier, father of the young men. He told Lubke that Fred Maschmeier, as the elder of the brothers was known, was stealing money from the Western Union and spending the money on women other than his wife. Consults With the Father. He said nothing about any shortage on the part of Charles E. Maschmeier, and it is not believed he knew that Charles was in any difficulty. “I’m tired of the way Fred has been acting,’’ he told the lawyer, “‘and-some- thing ought to be done about it.” Lubke, after consulting with the fath- er, decided that it would be best to con- fer with the Western Union authorities, and to see what discrepancies existed in Fred Maschmeier’s account, and what could be done to settle the difficulty. He told R. H. Bohle, special agent of the company, of what the brother had told him, and an inquiry was com- menced. Had Been Promoted. The investigation showed that Fred, who had some time ago been promoted to chief clerk and assistant manager, Was $2431.47 short in his accounts. The same inquiry led to another, which showed. that Charlies, -ho had suc- ceeded his brother as head collector in the: time clock department; was $2416.65 short. It was learned that, whilé Fred Masch- meter had charge of the¢time clock - cok lections, amounts paid in for clock rentals failed to reach the company’s coffers. The younger brother had continued his meth- ods when he succeeded him, and John, it was declared to the prosecutor, recently taken money from letters sent to the company, in the effort to pay back some of the money taken in the time clock department. Fred and Charles Maschineter have two brothers, Gustave and Albert.

A strange bug stung John Golden, cooper, when he thrust’! his right hand into a barrel partly filled with straw and packing in a warehouse at Second and Spruce streets Friday. When he reached the city dispensary, a half hour after- ward, carrying the bug in a seda bottle, the pain from the sting extended from the wounded finger to the elbow. The physicians were not certain whether the sting was serious, but administered such remedies as they knew of. The-barrel was one of a brewing com- pany, and Golden believes it must have come recently from some tropical coun- try. Golden has traveled around the world and says he has seen such insects nowhere but in Africa. The bug is slender, 3 inches long and has 8 feet. clawed like those of a crawfish. Its tail, 2 inches long, has a stinger at the end. This stinger was piercing Golden's finger when he took hand out of the barrel. He lives at 738 South Seventh street. ROOSEVELT IS GODFATHER

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Aug. 23. —Col. Roosevelt today declared that ‘‘Senator Penrose’s: statement that Mr. George W. Perkins under- wrote my primary expenses for $3,000,000, or any sum even re- motely resembling it, is a deliberate and willful falsehood, which he knows to be such when he makes it. Mr. Penrose would do well not to attribute to others the infinite baseness which actuates him- self.’’ Col. Roosevelt dictated the foregoing, although he had not read Senator Penrose’s statement concerning his primary ex- penses, he said: “The statement that the letters and telegrams to Mr. Cortelyou,” the state- ment ‘continues, “were written for the purpose of going into the record and were not genuine and were not accepted by Mr. Cortelyou as genuine, is.a de- liberate and willful falsehood and Sen- ator Penrose knows it to be such when he makes it. ‘My first letter, written as soon as I heard a rumor that the, Standard ofl people had contributed, and explicit ata, unequivocal in its terms, was written Oct. 26; my .second letter, if possible even more emphatic, on Oct. 27.

That the Gould interests, comprising the Missouri Pacific and the Southern Pacific, contributed large sums to the Roosevelt fund in 1904.

A political discussion raged for more than five hours in the Senate dur- ing the afternoon to the exclusion of all other business. It was terminated with a defense of Col, Roosevelt and his ployed in seating George T. Oliver in the United States Senate. Moore makes no political move without con- sultation with Flinn, so that any at- tack on Oliver, it is understood, wil] be from Flinn, his bitter enemy. Moore in a signed editorial, after referring to Penrose’s declaration that Flinn offered $2,000,000 for Pen- rose’s aid and that Penrose refused, says: “The only way the Leader can reason this out is that someone else paid more for the job, and whoever did wag buncoed.” The day before Penrose talked in the Senate the Flinn paper said that that “Someone else paid more for the job” is said to forecast the nature of the sensation Moore promises is forthcoming.

I do not know in what shape the report was made, but it undoubtedly was made,’’ said Archbold. Asked Penrose About Roosevelt’s Attitude. Senator Pomerene asked about the $25,000 contribution through Senator Penrose to the Pennsylvania State Committee and if Mr. Archbold talked to Senator Penrose about Col. Rossevelt’s attitude in regard to ‘‘ business, ’’ Mr. Archbold said he undoubtedly had asked Senator Penrose about Mr. Reosevelt’s attitude on the tariff. Questioned about the date of the contribution through Senator Penrose, Mr. Archbold said he had been unable to find any record of the printed letter purporting to show how he had sent the money to the Pennsylvania Senator. He produced three letters which, he said, constituted all his written communi- eatiors with Senator Penrose during 1904, so far as he was able to find out. "Two of the letters were put into the records, One was under date of Pept. 23, 1904, and the other of June 6, 1904. Both concerned the making of appointments for meetings between Mr. Archbold and Senator Penrose. _ Mr. Arehbold could not recall the object of these meetings. Senator Jones observed that the June letter was dated ‘‘just before the convention.’’ Mr. Archbold’s letter to Mr. Stone, for- mer Lieutenant-Governor and Represen- tative in Congress from Pennsy!vania. This letter was written in 1888 and re- ferred to a $2000 contribution. Mr. Arch- bold spoke of Mr. Stone as a splendid type of man, and an “old friend.” Sen- ator Oliver interrupted to Say that he died only last week and Senator Penrose from the other side of the room ex- claimed: “It is a desecration to Stone's name in this Way. Confirms Flinn Message. Mr. Archbold identified as eorrect the telegrams which Senator Penrose had inserted in his speech before the Senate Wednesday to show that William Fiina had sought to get Mr. Archbold’s in- fluence in the Senatorial contest in Pennsyivania after the death of Sen- ator Quay. Mr. Archbold declared that he took no part in the election and had never participated in a senatoria) election except in a “simple individual print Mr. Penrose for a complete inquiry into the utterances made by him. In addition, provision was made tn an amendment for an investigation of all the sums expended by parties and presj- dential candidates during this year for the control of primaries and conven- tions. “GET MONEY” WAS CORTELYOU ORDER Friend Quotes Him as Saying This Was His Only In- struction.

AMERICAN KILLED BY REBELS A KENTUCKIAN Friend Says Harvey Dodd Served in Former Nicaraguan Revo- lutionary Army. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 23.—Harvevy Dodd, one of the two Americans re- ported to have been killed in the mas- sacre of Federal troops by the rebels at Leon, had served with the rank of Colonel in the revolutionary army which overthrew President Zelaya in 1909, ac- cording to Alvin Durning, a newspaper man here, who was a close friend of Dodd, and who served with him under Madero in the Mexican revolution. Durning said Dodd was given 2000 acres of land in Nicaragua as a remuneration for his services in the revolutionary army, but shortly after the unseating of Zelaya, he left the republic, coming to this country. When the Mexican revolution broke out, said Durning, he and Dodd joined the forces under Madero, but Dodd soon tired of the fighting and returned to Nicaragua. He has several relatives here, who had known nothing of his whereabouts until accounts of his death appeared in the press.

While the clinging vine was clinging, and Werremeyer was singing, the trail- ing arbutus climbed the matrimoniai plum tree. Which means that Mrs. Effie Stroh, 49 years old, of 19 North Compton ave- nue, captured the prize coveted by a woman who wrote to Justice Werre- meyer of Clayton describing herself as a “clinging vine widow,’’ and askin, that he find a husband for her. With the modesty characteristic of clinging vines, she would not make known her identity. in consequence, Mrs. Stroh, trailing along in the wake of the clining vine, threw the arbutus-like tendrils of her affection about the heart-strings of 62- year-old Abner Q. Park of Dexter, All. Widow Fails to Cal‘, Werremeyer received the clinging vine widow’s letter July 25. It asked that all answers be sent to Werremeyer. After the letter had been printed in the Post- Dispatch Werremeyer received § replies from.many men who desired to meet the widow. He waited in vain for her to call for the answers. Among those who wrote was Park, who described himself as an elderly farmer without incumbrances. Park’s letter also was printed in the Post-Dis- patch. Mrs. Stroh read it. She wrote to Park, teling him that, while she was not exactly a clinging vine, she might met his ideal. She in- closed her photograph. Park met the trailing arbutus half way. He wrote asking her to visit him at his farm. Mrs. Stroh went. The pas- toral surrounding delighted her, and, as She says, she found Park all that his letter had described him to be, The newlyweds held hands like a pair of young lovers as they sat in the parlor of her home, Thursday after- noon, after Werremeyer had made them one. “I know we'll be so happy,” ceaid the bride. “I thought my grown son and daughter might object, but wien they found out what a fine man Abner is they were delighted.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—President Taft today sent to the Senate the nomi- nation of Maj..Beecher By Ray, U. S. A., to be Deputy Paymaster-General, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. Maj. Ray’s alleged political activity in 1908 and other of his acts’ while in the army have been the subject of congressignal investigation. Taft also sent to the Senate the nomi- nation of Lewis K. Torbet to be naval officer of customs in the Chicago Dis-| trict. Maj. Ray is in direct line for promo- tion under the law. President Taft long has delayed his nomination, awaiting a report of the Congressional Commit- tee hearing charges against him. After conferences, the President and Secretary Stimson determined to send the nomi- nation and leave its disposition to the Senate. Maj. Ray a Missourian. Maj. Ray was born in La Plata, Mo., Oct. U, 1859. He has been active in Illi- nois politics for years, and is a rail- road man of vast experience, having been secretary of the Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Commission. He was married Dec. 9, 1884, to Miss Fannie Plant of Boonville, Mo. He is the own- er of three fine farms near Kansas City. He entered the army May 21, 1896, after having served under M. A. Hanna in rounding up the trainmen’s vote in 1896. Brigadier-General C. H. Whipple, re- tiring paymaster of the army, told the House committee investigating Ray's political activity, Feb. 10 last, that charges of conduct unbecoming a gentle- man and an officer against Maj. Ray had been suppressed at the suggestion of President Taft. Under date of July 14, 1911, President Taft wrote to Gen. Whipple regarding omission of two or three pages of a War Department report called for by a House resolution, and in the letter Taft said: “The part of the record omitted re- fers to a charge against Maj.- Beecher B. Ray of illicit relations with a cer- tain married woman, in respect to which I was consulted by you. * * * I saw Mr. Sweet in New Haven and told him that I..deprecated its being brought out, as 1 thought it would tend to blast the reputation of a married woman, who, as I understand, was living happily with her husband.’’ Available to Committee. The President declared he wished that the whole record go to the committee if the committee desired it. At the time of the investigation, Ray, in Chicago, declared: ‘The public will be astonished when they hear how I have been pursued.”’ DEAL IN FURNITURE CAUSES PAIR’S ARREST Man and Wife in Rooming House Venture Deny Selling Mortgaged Goods.

British, German, Japanese, American and Salvation Army Colors Mingle. By Associated Pregs. LONDON, Aug. 23.—The body of the late Gen. William Booth, Commander of the Salvation Army, lay in state todaly, and the occasion produced a display of respect from all classes perhaps never excelled. All nations and all creeds A} were represented among the many thou- sands who paid their last tribute to the great evangelist: Even before dawn, and despite a pelting cold rain, thougands were walt- ing in front of Congress Hall, Clapton, where the body had been taken from the late General's private residence. The usual signs of mourning were ngpt visible. Flying over the great hall at the top of a tall flag-pole was the Sal- vation banner, with “blood and fire” upon it. Draped above the doorway were a Union Jack and a Germas flag, supported on each side by the Stars and Stripes of the United States and the Rising Sun of Japan. Except for Salvation Army flags there Was not a banner in the hall. The plain hard wood casket was cov- ered with a pall made of the Salvation Army coat-of-arms, which supported, in- stead of a sword, the dead General’s fa- vorite Bible, hymn book and campaign Cap. The coffin rested on a marble base un- derneath a huge canopy of gold and white: muslin draped with red and blue. Standing at the four corners of the bier cadets held the flags of Great Britain, the United States, Japan and Germany. All around were bodyguards of Salvation Army officers wearing red and white bands on their sleeves. In the first interview given by him since he succeeded his father as head of the Salvation Army, Bramwell Booth said: “I am deeply impressed and touched by this immense expression of sympathy and deep affection for the dear Gen- eral. I believe that the love for him among the poor people {f$ one of the most beautiful things the world has ever seen. “My message to the world is that the spirit of the old General will still go marching with his army and that, with God’s help, the Salvation Army will ad- vance to new victories. ‘“‘To my soldiers I say, Christ and live to save.’ ”’ He believes there is great room fer’ an extension of Salvation Army work in the United States. NAVY URGED TO GET ‘ SOLDIERS TO COLON Concentration of Marines Delays Departure of Transport Prairie. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The State Department is urging the navy to take every step possible to get the transport Prairie started as soon as possible for Colon... The navy is doing its best, but the marines whom the ship Is to carry cannot be concentrated before tomorrow. Dispatches to the State Department are from 24 to 48 hours late in trans- mission. Each seems to indicate more aggravated conditions. Quicker trans- mission of official cablegrams probably will follow the arrival of the gunboat Denver at Corinto. The vessel is due mere tomorrow or Sunday. She will lamd about 100 blue- jackets and steam to San Juan del Sur, where the cable station is located Then the navy will be in direct radio com- munication with the Annapolis and Jus- tin at Corinto. The big armored cruiser California, speeding for Panama, has been ordered tc put in at Corinto and land 340 blue- jackets and her full detachment of 6 roarines. After this the vessel will steam immediately for Panama to take on marines which leave Philadelphia to- morrow on the transport Pacific. HOME OF A SECRET . SERVICE MAN LOOTED W. J.

Her hus- band is in the naval recruiting service, and Rose Mueller, her temporary ward, is her only companion at her home at 4410 North Broadway. The attention of the police was called to the Mueller family for the second time within a few days, through a com- plaint made by Mrs. E. C. Reisel of 4416 North Broadway. Mrs. Reisel said her upstairs tenant, Mrs. John Haupt, had threatened to move unless the noise made by the Muellers is abated. Mrs. telsel asked the police to take measures which would keep her from losing her tenant. Mrs. Johnston told the Court at the recent hearing she had heard the girl screaming and begging her father for mercy, and that she had fled to her with her face discolored and her body bruised by blows. After the summons to the Juvenile Court, Mrs. Johnston said, Mueller beat the girl because she would not call him a vile name. His reason for this command was that he thought it would strengthen his case in court to be able to testify that she had reviled him. Rose has been at Mrs. Johnston's since the court’s erder was issued. Tha police will report the latest complaint against the family to the Juvenile Court officials, and will inquire into the treat- ment and surroundings of the two younger children, Joe Mueller, 14 years old, and Ida, 4. The neighbors say they fared comparatively well while Rose was at home, as she received all the blame and punishment for everything that went wrong. The parents told the court. that Rose was lazy and quar- relsome. She worked in a bag factory, earning $4.50 a week.

Policemen in all the districts Saturday will vote on a proposed amendm=2n: to the constitution of the Police Relief As sociation, providing for a reapportion- ment of the benefits to he paid at end of specific terms of service. At present retiring policeman receive $250 after 10 years’ service, $500 after $15 years and $1000 after 20 years. , The proposed amendment would give a retiring policeman $250 after five years’ service, $500 after 10 years, $750 after !5 years, $1000 after 20 years, $1250 after 25 years and $1500 after 30 years. Thers has been much opposition to the amendment. The older policemen cbject to paying benefits for those who retire after five years’ service ani the young?r men object to paying benefits for 25 and 30 years’ service. The same amendment was voted down five years ago. TOUGHEST WOOD FOUND

— Green Heart From Guinia to Be) Used on Canal Locks. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The strong- est, toughest, most durable wood in tlie world, and the kind best able to resist the dreaded ‘‘teredo,”’ which destroys everything but metal and stone in trop- ical waters, is the famous green heart of British Guainia, according to Panama Canal engineers. After comparing it with the best Amer- ie a timbers and the noted iron bark wo-d from Australia, the engineers have selected green heart for the construction of the miter sills in the great lock gates of the canal. No less than 140,000 feet

of the wood will be required.

cigars, at least not many of them. Mayor Kreismann forgot to leave his usual supply of smokes in his desk when he left Thursday on his third va, cation of the year for his apple orcharé at North Yakima, Washington. He left a box, but it contained only five ci gars. They will not be there when the Mayor returns, for Sommerjch handed them out Friday. Then he bought some more. Sommerich gave the Mayor an object lesson in the distribution of cigars re- cently when he fell heir to the job as chief executive a day in the absence of the Mayor and the president of the City Council. When Kreismann went away on that occasion he left a box uf his private brand of smokers in his

desk. When he came back there was not even one left.

esl HEARST AND T.R MEN COMBINE IN KINGS COUNTY, N. Progressives Name _ the Candi- dates and Independence League Stands Aside.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 93,~—Theodore Roosevelt and William R. Hearst are to join forces in King’s County, where the Progressive party and the Independence League, of which Hearst was once the head, will fuse on the local ticket, The Progressive party designated candidates for Assembly in all the districts in the county, but the league adjourned its committee meeting in all but three dis- tricts. Belief that Herast and his newspaper, although ostensibly Democratic, would eventually support Roosevelt, was strengthened, when one of Hearst's edi- torial writers, Arthur Brisbane, called on George W. Perkins, the financier of the Roosevelt candidacy. T.R. TREASURY WAS POOR, DIXON SAYS Asserts He Has to Draw on Own Salary to Pay Campaign Expenses. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Aroused by the persistence of the report that $5,000,000 of George W. Perkins’ money was spent by the Roosevelters in the pre-conven- tion campaign, which ended in Roose- velt’s defeat at the Republican conven- tion, Senator Joseph M. Dixon, who managed that campaign, told a dis- tressing tale of poverty to the news- paper men today. He did not know how much Perkins had spent in New York or what it cost “Old Bill” Flinn to finance the Roose- velt campaign in Pennsylvania. Nor did he know how much had been spent ir. Illinois or Ohio or Massachusetts. But eutside the trifling sums which it cost to make the fight in these impor- tant bailiwicks, he told the newspaper men that he was sure the fight had not cost to exceed $160,000. So poor was the campaign fund at times, he insisted, that one Saturday night at Washington he had to draw on his own senatorial salary to pay the wages of the stenographers in the cam- paign headquarters. It was a tale of poverty and distress that brought tears to the eyes of the kard-hearted newspaper men. But ap- parently these days of misery had end- ed, for the newspaper men had just been escorted through two solid floors of the Hotel La Salle rooms occupied by the Bull Moosers, and it costs real money to inhabit Hotel La Salle rooms. Senator Dixon also had just told them of the private telephone and telegraph wires which had been installed from the Chicago headquarters to the New York office, that it might keep in con- stant touch with Oyster Bay. And since ic costs about $1.2 a minute to “long distance’ New York, another goo‘ bunch of money was invested there. —_ bs

Roosevelt Leader to Stay in Repub- lican Party. NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Former Na- tional Committeeman W. L. Ward, Re- publican leader of Westchester, who, be- fore the defeat of Col. Roosevelt in the Republican national convention was leader of the Roosevelt forces in this State, made a speech before the West- chester County convention at White Plains on Wednesday night in which he proclaimed publicly for the first time that he would remain in the Republican party.

The Charms of Canada. A vacation trip through Eastern Can- ada, or to one of its many summer re- sorts, is steadily increasing in popu- larity with the large number of Amer- icans who have a limited amount of time or money to spend on their vaca- tions. No place in the world makes a more delightful camping, canoeing and fishing ground than the 30,000 beautiful islands of the Georgian Bay. The Muskoka Lake region and the forests and streams of the French and Pickerel rivers al- ways have their share of enthusiastic American, &s well as Canadian, sports- men and campers. A trip through the cities of Eastern Canada costs comparatively little, and is full of historic interest to Americans. Toronto, with its paradise of parks; Ot- tawa, the most picturesque capital in the world; Montreal, and the great French Church of Notre Dame: Quebec, with the famous Chateau Frontenac and its old town, the only walled city in North America. The Canadian Pacific Railway has just issued a compact little book, descriptive of this part of Canada, which may be had on request from any railway agent or from T. J. Barnes, at the Canadian Pacific ticket office, 7% Olive st., St. Louis.

|ADMISSION FEE T0 Bt CHARGED FOR 1. RUSSPEECH HERE So Cents for Gallery Reserva- tions at Jai Alai, $1.50 for Places in Lower Boxes.

It will cost 50 cents or more to sse the Missouri Bull Moose convention from a vantage point at the Jai Alai building, Sept. 3, and to hear Col. Roosevelt make his speéch there. The box office sale wil] open next Mon- day at the party headquarters, 517 Olive street, but mail orders, accom- panied by checks, will be received be- fore that time, The scale of prices runs from 50 cents for balcony reserved seats to $1.50 for single seats in lower boxes, but the latter will not be on sale until Sept. 1, as an effort will be made to sell most of the boxes as a whole. Gal- lery seats, unreserved, will be free. The convention is scheduled to be in session Sept. 3, 4 and 5, beginning at 1 p. m,. the 3d, and the Roosevelt speech will begin about 4 p. m. on:the opening day. State officers of the Progressive party have prepared a statement, explaining the decision to charge admission, and it appears printed on the back” of each ticket. The substance of the explana- tion is that the new party has to appeal directly to the people, and not to cor- porations, for financial support. One of the party’s objects, it is stated, is “‘the elimination of the political boss, who runs his campaign on funds con- tributed by corporations or individuals demanding favors contrary to public welfare in return.” . Spearman Lewis, State secretary ot tha party, loan their automobiles for the proces- sion which is to escort Col. Roosevelt to the Jai Alai Building. Col. Roosevelt, while President, once spoke in the Jai Alai Building, which, according to present announcement, seats 8000 persons. It is planned to sell about 3000 of the seats.

Young Husband Missing. Mrs, Julia Miller of 4837 Carter avenue has asked the police to look for her husband, Laurel Miller, who disappeared from their former home, 4830 Bircher street, Aug. 16. He is 22 rests, old.

- TERMS DEMAND PAY FOR TRPOL Sultan Also Said to Have Agreed to Italian Preference in Benghazi. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 23.—The conditions of the furthcoming peace rie- gOtiations, which will be proposed by Turkey, are said to be as follows: 1. Turkey will recognize the annexa- tion of Tripoli, but not Benghazi, on {condition that ths Sultan’s caliphate shall be recognized by the Italian Gov- ernment within those spheres. Italy will have preferential rights in Benghazi, which must remain a Turkish pvusses- sion. 2. The Italian Government must pay either an annual sum or else a sum at once, as compensation for the territory. of Tripoli, the amount of the sum to be decided by mutual agreement. 3. Italy will agree to the canceling of its capitulation rights, within the Turk- ish Empire. 4. The islands occupied at present by the same sort of self-government as the principality of Samos on the condition that the form of self-government shall be under the immediate sovereignty of Turkey and that Italy has no right of demanding any compensation for ‘he expenses it may have incurred within those islands, ' §. While the Sultan’s government will agree to the annexation of Tripoli bv the Italian Government, the Turkish Government reserves to itself the riglit vf appointing a Turkish commissioner like the one in Egypt, in order to safe- guard Turkish rights in Tripoli: also ths religious chief is to be selected by the Turkish Government, with the right tu reside at a place to be decided upon by the Tupkish Government. 6. While the expenses of maintaining the imperial commissioner will be de- frayed by the Ottoman Government, the expenses of the religious chief and his suite are to be defrayed by the Italian Government. 7. The Italian Government must ac- cept the new custom tariff of 15 ner cent imposed by the Ottoman Govern- ment. ROBBER PURSUED;

Thief Gives Up Stolen Property, Then Drives Men Away With Gun. F. V. Noyes of 5309 Cabamne avenue and L.} M. Sullivan, who gave his ad- éress as the Missour! Pacific Building, almost caught a highwayman Thursday night. They were walking along the south side of Olive street, and when ap- proaching Nineteenth street, were halted by two men. Noyes, fearing the robbers were armed, handed over his watch. Then as the robbers departed he and Sulli- van decided to catch them and turn them over to the police. The robbers parted and ran in opposite directions. Noyes and Sullivan pursued the “one with the watch and overtook him in an alley. After recovering the watch Noyes and Sullivan told the robber they were go- ing to hand him over to the police. The robber, who was evidently, absent- minded, suddenly remembered he had a revolver. He drew the weapon and threatened to shoot if Sullivan and Noyes did not “beat it.” He then backed away and Sullivan and Noyes caught a car for home.

j} of workmen employed on the Andean’ ‘band, Who Sued in 1906, Was Abusive. For the third time Mrs. Nancy Kather- ine Pittis of Wellston and E. Howard Pittis figured as contending parties in a divorce suit when Mrs. Pittis filed a petition in the Clayton Circuit Court Thursday afternoon. They were married Sept. 23, 1900, and separated June 21 last. Mrs. Pettis al- leges her husband was abusive and jea]- ous and that he refused to take her to places of amusement. She asks the cus- tody of their 4-year-old- adopted daugh- ter, Lucille. In December, 1906, Pittis filed suit for divorce, naming two men. After hearing testimony Judge McBlhinney refused to grant the decree and said there had been no proof that Mrs. Pittis had done wrong. In February, 1907, Mrs. Pettis asked a divorce, but before the date set for the trial she withdrew the suit.

The carpet is .thick and soft. -On.the floor are large tiger and bear rugs. In the center of the room is a mahogany table covered with jiterature pertaining to every phase of mysticism. The large, deep leather chairs in which a visitor sinks seem to complete the hospitality which the room extends. The reporter was admiring the fur- nishings of the room when a door opened and a large, imposing looking mnman stepped in. He looked at the vis- itor and then formally asked him into the inner room. The furnishings and decorations in this room are even more prepossessing than those in the reception room. The cecorations are similar, but appear to be more costly. : The professor {s a large man, smooth- shaven, with light fluffy hair. He wears peculiar thick lens glasses. His clothes were of the Jatest cut. His linen was immaculate. Two diamonds, one in his tie and the other on his left hand, com- pleted his appearance of prosperity. When the professor learned that his visitor was a reporter and did not de- sire a reading, he cast aside his air of formality and became quite congenial. In Indignhat at Charcot. Prof. Gladstone seemed to be bubbling over with indignation over the methods of “Charcot” and used forceful language in denouncing his actions. “It is this kind of faker who poisons the mind of the public against those of us who are reputable and conscientious,”’ he said. “Since the publication of the articles concerning Charcot our business has dwindled away. I have been to see nearly all of the leading clairvoyants in the city and they are’all agreed with me that we must assist the police in every way to find this man and bring him to justice. “Of course, you understand, his trade was made up of a different class of people who come to see me.

cons, do you not?” “Very often.’’ Then a bright but obvious thought struck the reporter. The Professor Was Aghast. “If that is true, why don't you g0 into the astral dead trance, send your soul out to visit the souls of vour de- perted friends and have tt find out where ‘Charcot’ is? You could then tell the police and he could _be arrest- ed."’ The pro‘essor was aghast. “That is rather hard to do,” jhe re- plied after a moment, “‘as ‘Charcot’ is steeped in evil.’’ “But professor, how does that make any difference. Your soul has nothing to do with Charcot. It is in communi. cation with the souls of departec friends, and Charcot knows nothing gt ;” : The professor went into a lons ¢€x- planation to show how it could not re done in this case. When acke? why did not Charcot s mind when he was in town and find ovt he was a fake, Prot. rlad- Stone replied that he had not thouznt about it. He admitted, however. that he knew the missing medium was doing a large business. Hie did say, however, that had he taken the trouble to :ead Charcot’s mind and find he was a fake. it would have been hard to prove it to the police. h e Tr" ad Gives Up Diamond Hunt, Too. During the interview with the reporter the Professor's diamonds were much in evidence. The visitor had possessed a diamond which, for sentimental reasons, he prized highly. A year ago it was stolen or lost. He saw a chance to find out about it. “You can locate missing diamonds, do you not, Professor?” he was asked. “Very often. It was only a_ short time ago that a woman lost a very val- uable diamond, and she came to mo. Without any delay, I told her to <Q home and took in a certain drawer. She did, and found the ssitig stone.’’ The reporter then explained the cir- cumstances of the loss. “Professor, you have called me a ‘non-believer,’” he said. “If you will go’ into the Astral Dead Trance, I pre- sume that is the best,.as it is the most expensive, and locate my diamon4, I will become a convert. Further, I will be willing to pay double your price.” ‘The Professor studied a minute. ‘Well, you know it is very difficult to locate diamonds, even for a believer, and practically impossible for a non- believer,”” he replied. Again the conversation did not seem to please him, and he directed it into other channels. - Deesn’t Take Own Tips. The professor spoke about his succesy ‘fa giving business advice. “Why,” he said, ‘last fall a man came to me and asked about May corn. I advised him to buy. At that time it 'was about 6 cents. In a short time it

‘went up ebove 70 cents and he made dropped his weapon with a curse and moaned with pain. In another minute the conductor and the two policemen had dragged him into the aisle and pin- ioned his arms. The robber, however, weak from loss of blood, made no resistance. A physi- cian on the train gave him temporary treatment and the train proceeded to Topeka. Here the robber, unable to talk, was placed in a hospital. The only clew to the man’s identity was a letter in his pocket addressed to ‘‘Mrs. Wills Lonsberry, Medford, Ore., R. F. D. No. @, 7 Insists He Shot Himself. Physicians attending the wound-d man said he would recover. The United States authorities will remove him from the hospital to jail. The robber talked about the crime to- day. He insisted that he shot himeelf purposely when cornered. “IT am sorry I did not kill myself,” he said. The man, whors well-educated, wen; on calmly: “When a man is up against it,”” he said, ‘‘it is worse than people can pos- sibly know. “T thought that the Pullman of that train would be the last place where they would look for me.” He refused to give his identity. “] will protect my folks,’’ he said. Toda‘ the police found another letter in the man’s clothing. It Was addressed to Denver. The letter was turned over iv the postal authorities.

considerable money. The professor leaned back with an air of satisfaction. Another obvious thought struck the reporter. “Professor, I assume you like money,” he remarked. — “T believe we all have a certain fee)- ing for it,”’ he replied. “If so, why do you not take your own business advice and make money? Cer- tainly if you can tell others how to in- vest, you can do s0 yourself.”’ “You myst understand we speculate: “Is there anything wrong in spe:.- lation?” asked the reporter. “Nothing.” “Then why is it you do not specu- late?’ His only answer was a laugh. He arose from xis chair and ushered the reporter ouf.

- fee = = ™ rr LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Weed Cutting Department Needed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. About Aug. 6 in your column of “Letters from the People” there appeared a complaint with the caption “A Growing Crop of Weeds.” These weeds are located at a vacant lot at what would be 3128 and 3125 Shenandoah street. This lot is owned, according to our city plat books, by one Rose Gallagher, who resiges in Chicago, III. This department is unable, under present con- ditions, to enforce the cutting of weeds on vacant property where the owner is a non-resident and it is for this reason that we have not compelled these weeds to be cut. If the citizens who make these complaints would sign their names to their communications and not hide behind anonymous communications we would be glad to give them information where this department is powerless to abate nuisances. This letter is written for the information of the person who signed himself “Owners on the Block.” : I wish here to make the statement that if any citizen forwards to this department a complaint re. a nuisance and will sign the same with his nome and address the nuisance will receive im- mediate attention; and if for any reason we are not able to aet he will be so informed and the reason for inability to take action given him. While on this subject it might be well to say that the question of the cutting of weeds on vacant property will never be satisfactorily per- formed until such time as a weed cutting depart- ment is established and the weeds cut where found and the charge assessed as a special tax against the property upon which they exist. We have not a sufficient force to cover all weed proposi- tions in addition to our other work. If we could walk by, see the weeds, and upon command they would disappear, we could take care of them, but as it is we must find the weeds, examine the plat books for the owner, locate and serve him and then make another inspection to see if the order has been obeyed. Often the plat book @ffl show that the property is owned by say John Smith or Henry Jones. You can figure out how easy it is to locate which John Smith or Henry Jones is meant. If some of our zealous citizens think this work is simple, I would invite them to come down some day and I will send them out with an inspector to do a day’s weed abatement work. When they come in at night they will not send in postals with an anonymous signature wanting to know why such and such has not been done, G. A. JORDAN, Asst. Health Commissioner,

Women’s Long Hair. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why have women had to wear long hair for centuries when it causes discomfort, bad health, waste of valuable time, worry and millions of dollars expense annually for hairdressing and shampooing? Why don’t they have their ~ hair “bobbed” like children? They would look younger and could comb and curl their hair in five or ten minutes and be comfortable, healthy and happy and save those millions of dollars for something useful. Long hair is insanitary and shouldbe abolished with other insanitary things. BERT BAIR. It Would. fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In view of the fact that certain individuals now licensed by the city as clairvoyants, fortune- tellers, mediums, etc., have been preying upon the more credulous of our citizens, would your paper lend its support to a bill which would re- peal the ordinance now in force which in its practical workings now gives protection to these parasites? I feel that in addition to repealing the present law a new one should be adopted which would forbid and penalize the running of advertisements such as hand bills, sign board posters and cards in' daily and weekly publications setting forth the possession, by these fakers, of alleged powers of prophesy, second sight, soothsaying and so on, ad nauseam, Desiring to introduce into the Council a measure covering the above named points I would be obliged if you would indicate the attitude which your journal would assume. PAUL R. FLETCHER. Nuisance in North St. Louis. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The citizens of Stallings, Ill., caused the arrest of three officials of the Great Western Chemical Co., for maintaining a public nuisance, namely, a plant that cast a horrible odor over their city. The same thing exists right here in North St. Louls, and almost every evening about supper time, when one is hungry and is about to sit down to the best meal of the day, the horrible odor that is cast over the city destroys one's appetite and brings on a feeling of nausea. I do not know the location of this stink-producing plant, but I. un- derstand it is located near the river. If ever there was @ public nuisance, this is one and I hope the people of North St. Louis will fall in line and ex- press themselves, and a movement will be started in the very near future to suppress this daily stench which is far-worse than the smoke nuisance. A PHYSICIAN, How to Buy Real Estate. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The people who advertise columns of real estate “for sale” and “for rent,” are, as a rule, not the owners of the properties advertised, but. their agents who make it a business to sell and rent property. The idea its to advertise the location. This be- ing the first point considered as far as real estate is conserned, the rest is minor detail to be looked up later. The really interested buyer, if inter- ested in the location, will take the trouble to call on the agent or owner, talk personally with him or better with both. After the “barns,” ‘Dutch dining rooms,” “cabinet mantels,” “reception halls” and yard for hot weather exercise of 560x150 or, better still, 300x400, have been discussed, go and look at and through the property, then and not until then is the time for the selling. price in-

TWO SYSTEMS; BOTH CAUGHT. From the New York World. Are the confessions of Senator Pen- rose in keeping with what we know of the management and policies of the Re- publican party during the last 16 years? That is the point. There will be disagreement as to the personal culpability of this man or that. The word of some people will be doubted. There will be differences of opinion as to degrees of guilt, as to mo- tives, and as to purposes. There are those who will profanely wonder how Hit happened that when some uncon- scionable deviltry in the political inter- est of Theodore Roosevelt was afloat he always wrote a private letter, to somebody, to be produced later, avowing the villainy. But concerning the main point we think there can be but one conclusion. When the Republican party was Han- naized in 1896 it fell unto the hands of the protected interests, which consid- ered laws a commodity to be bought, like anything else. In return for gigan- tic campaign funds that party gave the Government of the United States into the keeping of these interests. They have written, and to a large extent they have “enforced” the laws they bought. This period of Hannaism embraces the presidencies of McKinley, Roosevelt ane Taft. Of Mr. McKinley’s devotion ta the idea that it is the duty of Govern- ment to take care of the rich and to trust the rich to look after the welfare of other people there can be no ques- tion. Of Mr. Taft’s inability, in spite of promises, to free himself from the all- powerful clutches of the protected trusts and combines, we. have had sad and repeated proof in his vetoes of the Democratic-Republican bills reducing the cost of living. There remains to be considered Theo- dore Roosevelt. He was at the head of the Hannalzed Government nearly twice as long as McKinley or Taft. The only difference between him and them was that being violent, jealous and re- sentful, he fell out with a few of the great cormorants while heaping favors on the others. In the matter of mis- chief done he was the worst of the Hannaized presidents, for his gluttonous ambition made him particularly sus- ceptible to those who pandered to his vanity and his lust of power. He has assailed many things, but he has never yet attacked the tariff which gave him the presidency. Thus we have three Hannaized ad- ministrations, all with records of con- tempt for popular rights that fit ex- actly the theory of government by syn- dicate that Mark Hanna established. Can we wonder that the great party thus shamelessly perverted has gone to pieces? Can we marvel at the feuds Can we be surprised because they are breaking their long silence? Is there anything strange about the efforts of some of the worst of them-to make it appear that they were innocent? It is inevitable that a system such as this should be exposed. It is not in human nature to maintain forever in secret offenses so outrageous. We believe that the Penrose confession will be followed by others. Fear, revenge and hope of reward will reveal the truth as to Hanna’s national system, as they are now doing in New York with relation to the infamous police system, They are two of a kind.

When milk inspectors seized a ship- ment of adulterated cream in St. Louis yesterday, they promptly dumped it into the river. Probably at the time they added this unsavory mess to the passing water supply of cities below they might have seen along the shore other inspectors making similar con- tributions' in malodorous tinned goods, disreputable eggs and spoiled meats. As reforms multiply, inspectors in- crease and the population of the valley grows, the Mississippi River will, ao doubt, become a very pestilential pro- cession. Leaving Lake Itasca with the transparency of dew, it will debauch into the Gulf like axle grease. Skid boats will skid on it, plague will infest it, and posterity will berate us for hav- ing ever begun the practice of making it a handy dump.

A Caruthersville pastor was calling upon a dear old iady, one of the “pillars’’ of the church to which they both belonged. As he thought of her long and useful life, and loéked upon her sweet and placid counte- nance, bearing but few tokens of 82 years of her ‘earthly pilgrimage, he was moved to ask

Trio Sought to Complete Quo- rum Found Singing the Old Songs of the South. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—While Ser- geant-at-Arms Ransdell and his assist- ants were scurrying about the Senate |, side of the capitol yesterday trying ‘o complete a quorum of the Senats, and While the Senate bells were clanging their summons of Senators to that body, the posse was attracted by loud sounds of sweet melody coming from Senator Bradley’s room. “My Old Kentucky Home” and ““Massa’s in the Cold, Cold Grourd,” and other airs of the South sang through the corridors, drowning out the sound of the Senate bells. Upon open- ing the door of Senator Bradley’s of- hee, the searchers found Senator Brad- iey, basso. profundo; Ssnator Smith of South Carolina, tenor robusto, and Sen- |: wtor Overman, baritone fortissimo, wi=h their coats off and chairs tippe@ back against the wall, singing as though their lives depended upon the volume of sound emitted. They were duly summoned to appear in the Senate instantly and did so look- ing a little sheepish and crestfallen be- cause their vocal triumph had been so unceremoniously interrupted. FINDS PHOTO OF WIFE IN THE GARB OF EVE? Man Gets Divorce Saying Wom- an Ordered Him to Leave Her With Another. RENO, Nev.,

Aug. 23.—After hearing the Court promptly grante today an absolute divorce to Benja- n.in L. Mitchell of Glencove, N. Y., a civil engineer in the employ of the Long Island Railroad, from Elizabeth Post Mitchell... The couple were married ‘n November, 1909, and separated in Sep- tember, 1910. They have no children. According to the testimony of the hus- band, his wife drank with a man named | John Rogers, and then struck her hus- band in the face several times, and told him to get out and leave the house to her and Rogers. Mitchell stated that he had discovered in his home a photograph of his wife in the garb of Eve. The picture, it was testified, belonged to Rogers. 6 ‘TO 4 ON’ WILSON

Lloyds Said to Have Received Election Orders From U. S. LONDON, Aug. 23.—It is said that a number of orders from the United States have been received by Lloyds, brokers, in connection with the forth- coming presidential election, A pre- mium of 60 per cent was quoted to pay a total loss should Wilson be elected, the terms being equivalent to 6 to 4. To pay a total loss should Taft be re-elected 30 per cent was paid, and against the return of Roose- velt 20 per cent. It is thought likely that these rates are slightly more _ favorable than those obtaining in New York, and that American dealers are mak- ing certain of securing small profits.

Sidney Slavin breezes i with the old theatrical YOUNG man, attired in one of the shaggy blue suits that are all the go among the more tasty dressers of the jeunesse doree, came swaggering up the street. As he walked he pressed down, with the palm of his hand on its crooked handle, a thin yellow bamboo cane with knobby ridges all its length that gave it the aspect of a snake’s backbone pain‘- When he did this,“and deftly removed his hand, the bent cane would sirai¢ht- en out like a living thing and bound up into the air above the young man’s As it came down he caught it and twirled it up in the air, and while it was spinning in the air the young man performed an amazing bit of jugglery with it, and with his flat-brimmed straw hat and a cigarette, which feat he end- ed by catching the cigarette in his mouth, the cane horizdmtally across the toe of his uplifted patent leather shoe and the edge of his uplifted straw hat on the bridge of his nose. Then, with a graceful stooping mv- tion, he kicked the cane up into hix hand again and let his hat drop from standing on edge on his nose back onto It may be imagined that an admiring troop of youngsters followed him with “Don't you remember me, eh, ol4 top?” asked the young man who had given this astounding free street per- Mr. Jarr surmised he was the old top in question. He shook his head in tne negative. Whereupon the young man produced a card which read: f “I am Sidney Slavin, - Who ‘the PORES

You and the old gink are great “Your father and I are friends and, if you wish me to have any opinion of you, you will have to speak more re- spectfully of him,’’ replied Mr. Jarr. “Oh, all right, all right!’ I .take it back!’ said the young man hurriedly. “Well, I'm glad to hear you talk that way,” said Mr. Jarr. “You're just back from the West. How's theatricals?’’ “I've been cowboying.”’ Mr. Jarr regarded his slim, white piano playing hands suspiciously. ‘ ‘For the movies,” explained the young “I was doing press bailyhootng and had the dip privilege with Comanche Charile’s and I learned to ride a mustang. When I found the open-air producing compa- nies were paying ten bucks a day for ‘movie’ actors that could ride and rope, I joined out with ‘em in Oklahoma. “Well, I hope the exercise in the open air did you good,’ said Mr. Jarr. “Will you keep on as a moving picture cow-

I know a good ‘horse’ who was with Houdmi, who can do a store win- dow seven-day sleep and you can drive needles into him without him budging any hour of the day or night. But it’s) a better drag for the rubes to bury him alive. I’m looking for a partner with a little cash to put to mine, and I may take out a Chamber of Horrors, too.

It Wasn’t Soap. A NEW JERSEY farmer came to tne city the other day and, among oth- er things, he visited a high-class res- taurant. His appetite ran to cheese, and inquiring of the waiter what sort of cheese was listed he desired ‘‘something new.’ ‘“‘Why don’t you try a bit of Roquefort?’”’ suggested. the waiter.

“What's that?’’ asked the farmer. | “Hang it,” he added, “bring me some. I like the name, anyway. He ate of it and liked it, so he thought he would take some home to his wife. Arriving late, he laid the small cheese wrapped in silver paper on the sideboard. He fergot to inquire about it till next night and then he asked nis wife how she liked it. “Oh, I s'pose it’s mighty styl- ish up to the city, but I jes kinder couldn’t use {t.
