One Bullet Deflected Three Times. Strikes Gerhart in Back of Head, but Causes No Injury—Pris- oner Wounded Before.

Thomas S. Gerhart, president of the Weisels-Gerhart Real Estate Co., 104 North Eighth street, lying awake at 2 a. m. Tuesday, heard the clicking of the latch on a dining-room window at his home, 4609 Westminster He got @ revolver and went to the head of a big double stairway, which gives access to both the front and rear of the first fioor. There he saw a man with an elec- tric flashlight moving silently about the floor. For half an hour Gerhart watched the man, who, he saw, was a negro, collect clothing, jewelry and other valuables. Then the prowler started up the rear stairs. Gerhart waited until he was less than halg a dozen steps away and fired twice. The first bullet went wild. made a complete circle overhead by being d>- flected three times, struck Gerhart in the back of the head and fell to tne floor. At the second shot the negro Goublied up in pain, staggered down the place. @tairs and ran out a redr door he had cpenea. * Gerhart followed?. but the negro es- | caped. An hour later James Howard, a negro, 2 years old, living on Lucas ave- mue, was found desperately wounded and arrested. He confess2d at the city hospital that he had been in the Ger- hart home. Interested in Negro’s Work. “We went automobile riding tast night and I didn’t retire until long after mid- night, which accounts for my being awake,” said Gerhart. ‘I watched the negro a half hour, and as time went by 2 got greatly interested in watching him ‘work.’ He had a powerful flashlight which made a whole room light When he turned it on, and light coming from the outside helped make his movements clear to me. “He took an automobile coat from a hook, tried it on, rolléd it up and took it to the back porch. He did the same with a flannel coat belonging to my son. Then he went to one of my coats and began working with a diamond-studded Shriner' emblem worth about $150. It was firmly fastened, but he finally got it off and put it in his pocket. “In none of his operations did he make the slightest sound. He wore no shoes and his movements were as silent as those of a cat. When hs started up- stairs I decided to see jfist how game he was. He had the flash light in his let. hand and in his right he held another ebject above his head. “When he was thres steps from me I eimed above: his head and fired. The bullet struck the object in the negro's right hand, glanced from there to .the sloping ceiling over the stairs, from thers to the same kind of ceiling over the front stairway and struck me in the back of the head, stinging sharply but not breaking the scalp. I heard the bullet snap three times in rapid succes- gion as it struck the different objects. Goes Through Rail Into Negro. “The negro fell backward to the land- ing and started to run. Then I leaned far over and shot again. The bullet, of S caliber, went through a stair rail and into the negro’s body. He made no outcry, but the way he doubled up told me he was hit. He straightened up, however, and ran. He certainly was game, as well as skillful in his ‘profes- sion.’ ve After the negro was gone, Gerhart telephoned the police and the red signal lights soon had called all patrolmen of the Newstead Avenue Station to take - part in the search. A few minutes later Dr. Frank A. Glasgow heard somebody groaning in the back yard at his home, 4871 Wash- -4ngton boulevard. huddled under a clump of shrubbery and - Moaning that he was mortally wounded.

INCANDESCENT LIGHTS IN USE THIRTY YEARS On Sept.. 4, 1882, Edison Sent Out Current From Small New York Plant. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Tomorrow will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of commercial incandescent lighting. On Sept. 4, 1882, Thomas A, Edison started in operation. the world’s first central station in an old brick building in lower New York. The power house contained only a single dynamo and the current was sent through un- derground cables into some 400 lamps At 7 a. m. afternoon or

distributed throywghout a territory of a square mile. The original territory was selected be- cause most of the offices were closed at night, thus giving Edison a chance to test his wire should any trouble mani- fest itself. Among the first buildings supplied were the Army office, the Times.and Herald offices and the headquarters of J. P. Morgan & Co., which had a lav- ish equipment, including~106 lights. This was considered a remarkable achieve- ment. OIL BLAZE IN DELMAR GUTTER A BLOCK LONG Fireman Unable to Put Out Fire Until All Fluid in Wagon Tank Runs: Out.

POOR HEALTH THE CAUSE He Was Treasurer of Home Township in Illinois, Took an Interest in Politics. While his wife and son were making merry at a Labor day picnic, John Ackermann, 45 years old, cashier and director of the New Baden Bank, New Baden, Ill, and treasurer of New Baden Township, shot and killed himself Mon- day, afternoon. II] health and fear of a complete breakdown was the only known cause of his act, his friends said. Members of the Schlafly family in Bt. Louis are the principal stockholders in tthe New Baden Bank. Its president is Fred Schiafly of Carlyle, Il. At the office of August Schlafly & Sons, in the Third National Bank Build- ing, it was said that Fred Schlafly tele- phoned the news of Ackermann’s death Monday. It was supposed at the office that death had resulted from natural causes. . Revolver Near Body. Tt was said later at the office that an investigation showed Ackermann’s ac-j counts to be in the best of shape, but that Ackermann had been under the care of a physician for the last 10 days. Mrs. Ackerson and her son, return ing from the picnic at Patton, [IIL, found Ackermann’s body lying on the floor in a front room of the home: A revolver lay near the body, according to Fred Billhartz, a cousin of Acker- mann.

ROBERT EDWARD WILSON JR.. Dr. Starkloff; - After Health Board Meeting, Requests Iso- lation of Cases“ Here. The City Board of Health, at a special meeting Tuesday, voted «to establish quarantine. regulations against the #pread of infantils paralysis, new and Cread malady of childhood, which has caused’ six deaths in St. Louis in the last month. The list of city victims of the disease does not include Virginia Wilson, 7-year- lcld daughter of Dr. Robert: EB. Wilson, who died at “The Oaks,” the beautifu!' summer home of the Wilson family near Pattonville, St. Loufs County. “The ©aks’’ has for two weeks been the scene of a resolute fight against the disease, which now threatens the lives of two of ths three surviving children. Isolation Ig Requested. Following the Board’s meeting, Health Commissioner Starkloff issues a circu- lar letter requesting physicians to igso- late cases of infantile paralysis as soon as they are discovered, and to notify the department of their existence. He acted under a clause of the contagious disease ordinance which authorizes him to extend to other diseases the regula- tions now applied to smallpox, diph- theria and scarlet fever. Because of the newness of the dis- ease and the lack of a requirement as to reporting the cases, the Health De- partment does not know how many cases now exist in St. Louis. The cases are frequently mistaken at the outset, Dr. Starkloff said, for spinal meningitis. Most of the cases developing here, he believes, have been fatal. Tests made by Dr. Flexner of the Kockefeller Institute have indicated that infantile paralysis is not only conta- gious but is, like other contagious dis- eases, fly-borne. It is a late summer Cisease, flourishing chiefly in August and September. Dr. John Zahorsky has stated that 15 cases of infantile paralysis in and near 9 iS rss 3 ce 4 A ; «= , y : 9 . 4a ‘ ¥ z PROGRESSIVES IN. SESSION; NORTON! OPPOSED BY DALTO!

afternoon. L. A. Bilis of Kansas City, State chairman, called fhe convention to order at 1:30 p. m. There had been no great hurry about convening, as the delegates felt that little was to be done before the arrival of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, was scheduled to reach the city some time after 3. p. m., and to address’ the convention at ¢ The halt was One third filled with delegates, while the gallery held only a few spectators. A score of women sat as delegates and alternates. There were a few negro delegates, mostly from Kan- St. Louis. T. J. Murphy, State secretary, read the call for the gathering, and the Rev. John IL.- Brandt offered prayer. Judge Nortoni was then introduced asthe se- lection of the State Committee for tem- porary chairman, and was heartily greet- ed with waving bandanas. Nortoni’s speech, which was intended as a keynote utterance, began with a declaration that special interests have corrupted the source of legislation, and call are needed as remedies for corrup- tion in official and legislative business. Judge Nortoni announced that he would cut his speech short, as the con- vention had a great deal of work to do, and moreover, would soon have to meet “the greatest man in the world—Theo- dore Roosevelt.” This “ference to the leader of the Bull Moose herd brought the convention to its feet. The dele- gates furiously waved hands, hats and handkerchiefs and cheered for several minutes. Judge Nortoni reminded the delegates that the convention must nominate a full State ticket, as well as candidates for Congress, and suggested that it get down to business immediately. . Business Session Opens. Acting on this suggestion, the Kansas City delegation moved that a committee of three be appointed to determine thé boundaries of the congressional and ju- dicial districts. A State law, the spokesman said, pro- hibited the nomination of congressional and judicial candidates in the same con- vention, and hence the necessity of sub- dividing the State into districts, each of which could have its convention. Judge Nortoni ruled the entire motion out of order, saying the law referred to had been repealed by enactment of the primary law. in the convention would be merely ad- visory to the State Committee, which would make the actual nominations, he committee would be advised in its se- lections by the action of the present con- vention.

JUDGE ALBERT DEXTER NORTON! Government by Experts | Is Chief Fear of Gov. Wilson. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 3. OV. WILSON, in a speech (3 here, assailed the minimum wage idea plan of a Federal commission to control monopolies. He said: “Ours is. a program of liberty, and theirs is a program of regula- tion; ours is a program by which Wwe say we know the wrongs that have been committed and we can stop these wrongs and we are not going to adopt into this governmen- tal family the men who have done the wrongs, and license them to do the whole business of the country. “What I fear is a government of experts. God forbid that in a Dem- ocratic country we should resign the task and give the Government over to experts. What are we here for if we are to be scientifically taken care of by a small number of gentlemen who are the only men who understand the job? ‘Because if we do not understand the job, then we are not a free people; we ought to resign our ffee in&titutions and go to school to somebody and find out what it is we are about.” T.S.Gerhart Shoots a Burglar Climbing Stairs at His Home

Phyal- cians there found that Howard had a pad gunshot wound in the abdomen, which he had tried to bandage with a fine linen handkerchief, later identi- fied by the Gerharts as one they brought from Ireland. There also was discovered another gunshot wound, part- ly healed, in Howard’s chest. In Howard’s room the police found several letters, one of which Howard had written to Mrs. Callfe MclLendan, 2320 First avenue, Birmingham, Ala. In it he referred to sending her $10, and told of having been shot and “nearly killed,”” but fearing to go to a physi- clan or a hospital as it would be a “give away.” The letter was dated Aug. 19. A few nights before that Patrolman Boyd of the Newstead Avenue Station shot a m-n he found prowling around a West End home. The man escaped, but ap- peared to be badly wounded, Boyd re- ported. Howard is believed by the police to be the man Boyd encountered and the bur- glar who recently ransacked many West End residences with small returns. Gerhart said his five children slept through the disturbance caused by the burglar. “I have frequently told my family that if they heard shots in the house at night they must He perfectly still,” said Gerhart. “Nobody but Mrs. Gerhart heard me shoot at the negro. She got up and ran to the hall, but went back to bed when I told her I was all right.”’

When Mrs. Sharpe called to him the man walked past her bed and down the stairs, Dr. Sharpe, aroused by his wife call- ing to him, ran from hig room with a revolver and fired several shots to attract the police. Nothing was taken. Mrs, Sharpe says she wants burglars to know that she never keeps money or valu- ables in her home. When policemen responded to Dr. Sharpe's shots and a telephone message they found the burglars had forced open three’ win- dows and cut the acreen and shutters of a dining room window.

PROBABLE PROGRESSIVE ) F NOMINEE FOR covERnOn | nN) ON COMMITTEE 10 GREET ROOSEVELT Men Named Sympathize With | Colonel’s Plan for Recall of Judicial Decisions.

BUSINESS MEN IN LIST Reception Party Includes Men Who Formerly Were Leaders in Republican Party. The reception committee to meet Col. Roosevelt and the delegates atid visit- vrs and arrange for their entertainment contained the names of many St. Louisans conspicuous in the city’s polit- ical, business and professional circles. William H. Walker, Progressive Na- tional Committeeman for Missouri, for- mer president of the Ely-Walker Dry Goods Co., headed the reception com- mittee, Former Postmaster Frank Wyman, a Republican, was vice-chair- man, The announcement that United States District Judge Jacob Trieber of Little Rock, who frequently sits as judge of the district courts in St. Louis, had ac- cepted a place on the reception ‘com- mittee, and would attend the conven- tion, created considerable interest. It was announced at Progressive head- quarters by David T. Punch, a nephew of Judge Trieber, that he was in thorough and active sympathy with the third party program, Iirncluding the: re- call of judicial decisions. It was recalled that Col. Roosevelt. in a recent discussion of his proposition to recall judicial decisions, quoted at length from a decision of Judge Trie- ber, pointing out that the Supreme Court of the United States had on at least three different occasions, recalled its own decisions by reversing them. Federal Judge D. P. Dyer of St. Louis is also a follower of the new party, and Judge Amidon of North Dakota is said also to be aligned with the new movement. Judge Amidon presided at the Lewis and Kimmel trials in St. Louis last spring. Others on the Reception Committee are Ira W. Wight, son of Republican National Committeeman Pearl Wight of Louisiana; Henry W. Peters, shoe man- ufacturer, former member of the Re- publican State Committee; the Rev. John L. Brandt, pastor of the First Christian Church, a former Democrat: the Rev. W. J. McKittrick, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, also a Democrat; Attorney Ford B. Thomp- son, F. W. Brockman, commission mer- chant; John Nickerson Jr., son of John Nickerson, former vice-president of .th:2 National Bank of Commerce; City Councilman Charles Espenschied, Ro- man lL, Biskup, Attorney Joseph A. Wright, Dr. Joseph Grindon, former ,.Btate Senator James M. Rollins, Dr. John C, Morfit, former Health Commis- sioner; George W. Niedringhaus, broth- er of Republican National Committee- man Thomas K. Niedringhaus; former Circuit Attorney Asthur N. Sager, A. A. B. Woerheide, president of the St. Louis Police Board; Drs. J. A. Gray, BEB. 8S. McDonald, M. Dill, A. Siebert and C. A. Todd; Charles D. Comfort, for many years an active Republican, and Probate Judge Gilbert O. Nations of Farmington. The 18 Progressive party presidential electors were also members of the Reception Committee.

Infant Paralysis Fly-Borne Disease; Isolation Asked

Ella Marie Wilson, 11 years old, is conva- lescent. “I will give my fortune to any phy- siclan who can save my childrun,”’ was Dr. Wilson’s frantic declaration after the death of his 7-year-old daughter, Virginia, Saturday night. During the last few days little Robert has been in a swing bed on the lawn, under the shade of the trees. Grace, who was at one time given up by the physicians, has been kept within the house.

The disease is known to he con- tagious, but scientists are not agreed as to the means in which it is communi- cated, and have not found a specific for its treatment. Ella Wilson, it is hoped, will suffer no permanent ill effects, her attack hav- Ing been light as compared with the others. She has been able to use her feet and hands freely in the last two days, and her power of speech has not been impaired. GRADUAL SPREAD | OF CHILD DISEASE Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill... Sept. 3.—The spread of infantlig paralysis in Illinois has been gradual, but there is no general contagion in the State. The cases are isolated, and only a few cities have re- ported to the State Board of Health the oxistence of the disease. There are a few cases in Chicago. Springfield has five, and there were two deaths here three weeks ago. The board has no fear of the disease becoming epidemic, Dr. James A, Egan, Secretary of the board, made the following statement to the Fogt-Dispateh today: “While the mys felt In Illinois over the existence paralysis

REMEDY LIES IN DEFEAT

Does Not Look Upon. New Party as Wise or Enduring Movement.

rr By Associated Prers. DAVENPORT, Io., Sept. %.—Senator Albert BE. Cummins of Iowa, in a pub- lic statement issued today, declares he ‘expects to vote for Col. Roosevelt for President, but is opposed to the for- mation of a third party. e does not believe President Tait was the choice of the Republicans of the nation. “The renomination of President,Taft,”’ said Senator Cummins. ‘was opposed by an overwhelming majority of the Re- publicans throughout the country, sim- ply because; in his administration of the office of President, he had not done nor said the things which the great. body °:f the people believed he should have done and said. A meager minority succeded in renominating him. Says Revolt Was Certain. "The man who could not see that there would be a rebellion whenever these over-represented states forced a nomination against the strong opposi- tion of the states in which there is a real Republican party, was blind as a bat, and the man who could not hear the rumble of the rising storm was deaf as an adder. “If the. convention which nominated Mr, Taft had changed the system, in obedience to the popular demand, we might have had patience to wait; but as though wanting to furnish every rea- son for revolt, it attempé#ed to fasten it still more firmly upon us. If this were all, we would be amply justified in overthrowing the system by refusing to accept the nominee. ‘But this is not all. The system, in- defensible as it is, was not enough to overcome the adverse majority in the Republican states, and therefore the complaisart committec, them, the convention, seated Taft delegates from Washington, California, Arizona and Texas; who had not shadow of title to seats in the con- vention. I speak of these staies because I have examined the record as to them, and have reached a conclusion after tha most careful study and reflection. And thus the will of a tremendous majority system and the machinations of a com- mittee. Remedy in Taft's Defeat. “T take no pleasure in reciting thes> things, for I would like to support a Republican candidate for Prestdent. There is but one wav, however, to make sure that the system of the Chicag? convention will be abolighed, and its scenes never repeated, and that is to make it plain that the candidate who is the product of the system and the beneficiary of the methods cannvut reach the office to which he aspires. There- fore I cannot support Mr. Taft. ‘In so saying I am all the more a Re- publican, for it ‘s clear to me that the existence of the party depends upon a quick and emphatic condemnation of the wrongs I have mentioned, and I am in perfect harmony with the declaration of the Iowa Republican platform. “The reason the Republicans were so largely against the renomination of Mr. Taft was their profound conviction that he is not a progressive and does mo’ believe in a proper sense that the peo- ple whould rule the country. The fact that this was the attitude of the vast majority of the Republicans, proves to me conclusively that a new party is unnecessary, untimely and unfortunate. I fear that it will retard rather than hasten reform. Wants Vote Understood, “Theodore Roosevelt was the manifest choice of the greater number of Re- publicans who expressed a choice for President. He is appealing to the moral and progressive forces of the people and I expect to vote for him; but it must be understood that I will do so protesting against the organization of a new party and dissenting with some of the doctrines of his platform. ‘My vote for him will indicate that I believe he desires to promote the com- mon welfare, but will not Indicate that I look upon.the new party as a wise or enduring movement in public affairs.’’ tion to the number of cases existing in the State, it is more or less justifiable in view of the malignancy of this mys- terious malady, which leaves in its wake ctipples who will remain objects of sym- pathy, often objects of charity, to the next generation. “Infantile paralysis kills 8 to 15 per cent of,those attacked, and of the num- ber that survive, more than 8 per cent are permanently paralyzed. “But happily, in Illinois, the cases are comparatively few. Epidemics have been rumored, but none exists. Wide- spread alarm was caused recently by the announcement of five cases in Springfield, which was one case to 10,000) to 12,000 inhabitants. This alarm was unfounded, and had a tendency to frighten mothers. “The cause of infantile paralysis and the exact method of transmigsion are unknown, but the nose and throat are the sites of the infection. Without doubt, the disease is contagious. Many believe a healthy person may carry it. But we must regard the greater num. ber of cases as due to direct contact, ‘The disease has been attributed to dust, food, water supply, ingects, the relation of water courses and general unsanitary conditions, but the evidence gathered from the many hundreds of cases observed is not sufficient to prove or disprove any hypothesis. Infantile paralysis often fails to spread in com- munities where conditions seem most

By Associated Press. WHITE JUNCTION, Vt., Sept. 3— Vermont is electing a Governor and whichever party makes the best show- ' ing will accept the result as a har- L ieee of success at the presidential contest in November. A ee days’ rainstorm still was beat- ing down on’ both, sides of the Green Mountains when. voting began.

Following is the record of the Septem-’ ber yote in Vermont and how it has forecast November results in seven rres- idential years: In 1884, Democrats, 17,- 381; Republicans, 22,173 (Democrats elect- ed President). 1888. Democrats, 19,527: Republicans, 48,522. 1893, Democrats, 16,325; Republicans, 37,992 (Democrats elected resident). 1895, Democrats, 14,855; Bepublicans, 53,426. 1900, Dem- ocrats, 17,129; Republicans, - 48,441. 19044, ° Demecrats, 16,566; Republicans, 46,115, ° 1908, Democrats, 15,952; HRepub- licans, 45,598. ’ The Democratic victory in 1884 and in 1892 was foreshadowed by a smaller Re- rublican vote for Governor in those years. Today's election, therefore, is awaited with national interest. Many -politicians pointed out that While the total registration in the State at each election in the last 2% years was close to 120,000, it has been veldom that more than 55 or 60 per cent of those enrolled to vote have come to No political apathy was expected to- Gay, but, to guard against it, nearly every voting place was well equipped aged and infirm to the polls. ‘The regular Australian voting system Chances for repeat- m™ were said to be minimized, for near- 'y all the ballot clerks knew éach voter any. i,

When “Deception” Is Discov- ered Sister Breaks En- gagement.

vy Leased Wire From the New York Rureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK,. Sept. 3—Mrs. Edna Streck-Croxton has broken her engage- ment to wed Clarence Fisher of Asbury Park, says a morning newspaper. Com- ing only a day or two after her young- er sister, Mrs. Helen Louise Streck- Dodge, announced that she already had found the creature man a delusion anid , snare and had quit her’ husband, George W. Kirkman, also of Asbury Park, the affair has caused gossip. Both of the young women are really beautiful and suppo#ably rich, their fa- ther having been a wealthy Pennsylva- nia coal operator. They have been much in print ever since they came to New York, four or five years ago, when they were about 16 and 18 years old. They tried the stage for @ few weekr, living with their mother at the Ansonia Next came the marriage of the younger sister to William Phelps Dodge, an ec- centric widower, member of the old Phelps-Dodge family, and later their separation and divorce. Mrs. Croxton was angry when telling of her summer romance, and Mrs. Kirk- man added many details to tne story. Siater’s Romance Opens Eyes. “Nhe ending of my sister’s drvam of happiness opened my eyes to the true state of affairs,” said Mrs. Croxton. “T discovered that the man I was to marry, Mr. Fisher, had veen a silent witness to a deception. “During the summer, sister Helen and I. chaperon2d by mother, went to AsB- bury Park. At the Coleman house, where we stayed, we were introduced to Mr. Fisher and Mr. Kirkman. Mr. Fisher said he was a Wall street brok- er, and Mr. Kirkman reprasented him- self as a real estate operator of Inter- laken. Mr. Fisher must have known that Mr. Kirkman grossly misrepresent- ed himself and that he was not in the real estate business. As a matter of fact, he was the son of a shoestring peddier, and his mothep keeps a board- ing house in Asbury Park. “One day the two young men took us sutomobile driving and as we were pass- ing a neat, home-liks cottage in Inter- laken, Mr. Kirkman remarked that it was his home. He said he and his sis- ter were living there, and his mother was on a pleasure tour in the West. “The devotion of the young men to us soon resulted in a double engagement. however, were aot moving swiftly enough for Mr. Kirkman, and the next thing I knew he and Helen = a NOTICE!

TIED TO CROSS AND RED BEARD IS CUT OFF

Brighton (Ill.) Man Submits to Loss of Scenery, Then En- tertains Guests. One of the scenic attractions of the neighborhood of Brighton, Ill., was ruth- lessly destroyed when Oswald Hanold’s guests, members of the Napoleon Club, cut off his long, red beard. To accomplish their purpose, they spiked Hanold’s stout farm clothing to an improvised cross and held his hands and feet while some of them used scis- sors and wire nippers on the Titian adornment of Hanold’s chin. When Hanold saw that his glorious autumn-sunset whiskers were gone, he held still and. let Fred Meyers, an Alton barber, complete the job by giving him a clean shave...When he viewed his face in a glass a few minutes later, he said he beHeved he liked the change, and invited. his late tormentors téd stay awhile. Just to show that they bore him no will, the crowd consented to remain, and barbecued one of Hanold’s pigs.

By Associated Press. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 3—As com- munication with the afflicted section be- comes established, stories of heroic and thrilling rescues become numerous. One particularly spectacular feat was the rescue of Henry Endler, his wife and two children, of Avella, in Washington County, by the Rev. B. F. Heany, pastor of the Presbyterian Church there. The Endler home was crushed against a railroad culvert and the family was washed downstream. Three children were hurled on the bank and escaped, while Endler, with his wife and two other children, succeeded in catching hold of the branches of a tree, where they were marooned. Heany heard their cries and summoned help. Procuring a rope, he fastened it about his wrist and while six men held one end of it he plunged into the tor- rent and made for the marooned family. enim times he was washed past the ‘flood refugees and was hauled out to try it over again. Then he reached the tree, the roye was fastened about Mrs. Endler and she was dragged through the torrent to safety. To return. the rope to the marooned pastor and the Endlers, it was fastened to a huge block of wood, which was carried upstream and thrown in, so that it would be carried into the tree. One by one the family was taken to safety, Paster Heany being the last to be pulled ashore. The number of fatalities arising from the floods in Western Pennsyl- vania, the Panhandls of West Virginia and Eastern Ohio, was increased to 40 today when it became known that John Demstel, his wife and two children, were missing from the ruins of their home on Chartiers Creek near Canonsburg, Pa. The loss to property is estimated at $2,000,000 and hundreds of families are home- less. Food in some sections is scarce be- cause railroad communication has been cut off, but caravans of loaded wagons are making their way over badly washed roads, bearing needed supplies. JOHNSTON CALLS ON FRIENDS AT CLAYTON

Sanitarium Patient Taken on Auto Ride; Lawyer. Predicts Startling Developments. Rowland L. Johnston, former Prose- cuting Attorney of St. Louis County, who recently was declared insane be- fore Probate Judge Shackelford and placed in a sanitarium at Glendale, was taken on an automobile ride Tuesday by Theodore R. Appel of Webster Groves and a stop was made at the Clayton Courthouse, where Johnston visited the various offices and shook hands with the officials and had a talk with Judge Shackelford. He told everyone he was much improved. Frank X. Hiemenz, an attorney, who has filed a motion for a rehearing in the insanity proceedings, met Johnston by appointment and after the consultation said there would be startling develop- ments in a few days. JUDGE WILLARD TO HEAR LEWIS TRIAL Date Will Be Set to Suit Min- neapolis Man Who Will. Preside. Judge Charles A. Willard of the United States District Court in Min- neapolis, will preside over the next trial of E. G, Lewis, on the charge of using the mails to defraud. The assignment of Judge Willard to the case was contained in an order from from Judge Walter H. Sanborn, re- ceived Tuesday by District Clerk Nall. The trial, it was stated, would be set at a time to suit Judge Willard’s convenience. The hearing of the case last March and April resulted in a hung jury, nine members favoring conviction. Judge Dyer of the local District Court has disqualified him. self from trying any of the Lewis cases.

Making love to babies is one of the greatest elements of success in the pho- tograph studio business, Juan C. Able of Cleveland told the Missouri photogra- phers in convention at the Planters Ho- tel Tuesday. ‘“‘Never have parents bring their ba- bies to your studio without you make love to them. You make love to the babies and the parents will have you take their pictures,’’ he said. Able also said he would advise the photographers to join as many societies as possible and then become candidates for Alderman. All photographers, he said, should be public men, and run- ning for Alderman was a good way to keep in the public eye. Likewise, he thought complimentary reading notices in the newspapers a good thing, but even the paid notices were necessary to com- plete success. Divided on War Issue. There was a division of opinion as to whether the Missouri Photographers’ Association should make war on the itinerant photographers. F. D. Delporte, chairman of the convention, said hs }considered it an injustice for the resi- dent photographers in St. Louis to be forced to pay a license of $2 a year. The license, he said, was exorbitant compared to that which persons in other lines of business had to pay. Itinerants pay no license. F. K. Hart of the Cramer Dry Plate Co. invited the delegates to visit his plant on their way to a brewery Tues- Gay afternoon. When Hart’s invitation was accepted a motion was made to can- cel the brewery visit. Hart, however, urged the delegates to visit both places. Visit to a Brewery. *You can’t afford to miss the brewery trip and acquaint yourselves with the wonderful business system there. And it will show you what can be done with a nickel,”’ he said. “But it will not show us what the brewery does with the man,’’ responded A. B. Duncan of Springfield, Mo. The chairman ruled the discussion out of order and it was voted to visit both the dry plats plant and the brewery. MURDER WITNESS BACK LIVERPOOL, Sept. 3.—Thomas Cou- pe, formerly night clerk in the Elks Club in New York City, and an eyewit- ness to the murder of’ the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, was met by detec- tives when the steamship Lusitania docked here today. He was not placed under arrest, but was accompanied to a hotel, where he refused to make any statement until he had consulted with friends.

ee Progressive Worker, High Marguerite Martyn Condi- tions Demand That Wom- ities. ~ By MARGUERITE MARTYN. OU anti-suffragists, whose favorite Y argument is that one woman with one child neglects her duty when she goes into politics are about to see a demonstration of how one woman with scores of boys and girls under her care and guidance can attend a State politi- cal convention, sit as a delegate, make speeches alongside great national politi- cal figures and justify the whole pro- ceeding. School opens today, so does the Pro- gressive State convention to which Miss Amelia Fruchte, who is assistant super- visor at Central High, has been elected delegate. It occurred to me the antis would be there with their question, so I just beat them to it. “What's to become of your pupils and classes while you are dabbling in poli- tics?” I asked. “As it happens,” replied Miss Fruchte, “my school and State duties do not conflict. I canf attend the convention after school hours. When duties do conflict, one always has to be subordi- nated, and in this case I should con- sider my bigger, broager duty in serv- ing the larger good of my pupils would be in taking this opportunity which I hope to be a step toward woman’s suffrage which holds so much for the future of education.’’ No necessity for introducing Miss Fruchte. Everybody who has attended the public schools in St. Louis within @ quarter of a century must at some time have come in contact with her. During her term of service she has seen many changes. Always, her asso- clates will tell you, she has kept just a littls ahead of the procession. She has been the first to advocate many in- rovations and now she is the first to take advantage of the opening in the ecb el political crisis and she is eB WIFE'S HEALTH RESTORED Husband Declared Lydia E.

\o& AMELIA- Ni FRUCHTE. ~ Si ovore first woman delegate of a national party St. Louis has produced. HER PRIMARY INTEREST IS THE GAINING OF SUFFRAGE. MI ISS FRUCHTE says that hér primary intrest in politics is th gaining of suffrage for women. Unlike most women who want to vote, ‘she has very definite and immediate and specific uses for the ballot as soon as she gets it. Or is it that Miss Fruchte is. more gifted in her powers of expressing her leas than are most women? When this well-known teacher speaks tonight, as she has been asked to do and as she surely will unless the loqua- cious T. R. is more than a match for her, eloquence and fluency will not be offered as excuse for woman’s political unequality. She must have been very tired after all day sessions of teachers’ tueetings when I darted in upon her yesterday, but never was she at a loss for a word, and if there are any rag- ged sentences in what I am about to quote—any incompleteness in the elab- cration of them, it is my memory, not Miss Fruchts’s English which is at fault. To begin with her beginning. the story she told me of the very .vundation of her ideals and present conviction is interesting and should be inspiring to younger minds today: ‘When in my thirteenth’year I recit- ed almost verbatim the Gospel of St. John for which I received a prize of one gold dollar, that marked the beginning of my interest in human fellowship and led me to grow into the condition now strong within me that if we are to be great we must transcend the accident of birth such as sex or creed or wealth and the like. “The same year I recited from mem- ory with accuracy the whole of the Con- stitution of the United States with the then amendments. That was the begin- ning of my interest in sociology: es- pecially the study of social institutions, and what I usually call educational in- stitutions, meaning by that all the facil- ities for education received from the cradle and the grave. Then my German father use his influence gently to turn my tastes toward domestic affairs, and within the same year I received from him another gold dollar for knitting for him a pair of silk stockings. “So I was grounded early in the com- bination of patriotic, practical and so- cial inclinations. “The period tn evolution arrived,” be- gen Miss Fruchte in explanation of her feeling toward her important new of- fice. “When women must—not may—come forward. Any history of sociology will filustrate how conditions force action. “There are supposedly 8,000,000 women wage earners in this country. An army of public schoo? women are teaching milions of boys good citizenship, while the wumen themselves are underpald, overworked, celebates, whatever in the practical functions of government. “WOMEN MUST MEET NEW RE- SPONSIBILITY TO SUCCEED.” dé HE women, if conscious of their needs, must admit that they must meet the new responsibility and perforce their new duty if their work its to meet Just here Bt. with high success. in Louls today every progressive citizen knows that the Constitution of the State of Mis- sourl should be amended that chil- dren 5 years of age may be admitted to the kindergartens, that they may

She replied: “Principle is more important than success any day.”

|HARRIMAN LINES TO - HAVE BIGGEST TUNNEL Thirty-Thousand Foot Bore in California Mountains Will Cost $1 0,000,000. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.—Chair- man Robert 8. Lovett, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Harriman lines, discussed today the tunnel which the Harriman lines intend to drill through the Slerra Madre Moun- tains. The company intends to build

a tunnel £9,000 feet long at a cost of $10,000,000. It will be cut into the ha, save for stretches of single track- homme 1atBw the Canyon and Truckee, Cal., wa will |. save @ pull of 1000 feet up the moun- tains. 2 According to Judge Lovett it will be the longest tunnel on the conti- nent. Trains propelled by electricity will be used in the big bore, which is to be for a single track only. A dow ble track system, however, will ex- tend from its western portal to Oma- ing in isolateg spots. The point se- lected for the tunnel will necessitate’ a big change in the present line be- tween Truckee and Blue Canyon.

‘a ODI ON CANAL TW. ARTRATON Foreign Office Is “Considering” Methods of Attacking Amer- ican Measure. THREE ACTIONS ARE OPEN Suit Under Existing Law Pos- sible; Some Hold Arbitration May Be Unlikely. By Associated Press. LONDON, Sept. 3.—A complete dis- avowal is given this morning by the British Foreign Office of the so-called official amnouncement that the British Government will formally demand arbi- tration on the Panama Canal tolls ques- tion. | ‘The lines of action which lie before the. British now are being considered and any announcement of this kind is re.”” This is the full text of the formal statement given out by the Foreign Of- fice in reply to requests for details as to the reported demand for arbitration. Three Lines of Action Open to Britain in Canal Dispute. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—No less than three separate and distinct “lines of ac- tion” are open to the British Govern- ment in dealing with the problem raised by the passing of the Panama Canal tolls act. . It is assumed here that because there is more than one available,-avenue for - British thipping to seek relief, the Brit- ish Foreign Office has said the notice of an — for arbitration was prema- ture. President Taft has ‘indicated one method by which the problem may be attacked. Congress, however, did not think well of the suggestion. That was te include in the act a paragraph giving jurisdiction to the American courts to pass upon whether the act constituted a discrimination against British ship- ping, in violation of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty. Another means of dealing with the British grievance would be to allow any British owner to test, under exist- ing law, before any United States Court, his right to use the canal under the treaty on terms of equality with Ameri- can «ship owners. Chairman Adamson of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and many sena- tors and other representatives have de- Clared that if British rights have been infringed ghefe already was a remedy in the statutes. The last avenue of relief ‘is through arbitration, although many publicists have held that owing to changes of sovereignty over the canal zone and other events developed since the Hay- Pauncefote treaty, Great Britain has no actual right to demand arbitration. » Ag the canal cannot be opened for :. "year and a half, there will be am le time for the British Foreign Office to elect which method of relief shall be em- ployed. SON OF A. C.

Wise and company, in a condensed version of “A Gentleman From Mississippi,’’ head the new vaude- villé bill which opened at the Colum- bla yesterday afternoon and evening.’ The fine old Southern role of Senator Langdon is portrayed by the star with truthful and effective strokes of gen- vine comedy, and the play's story is told clearly in its new form. Other features on the bill are Kremka Brothers, in an eccentric athletic nov- elty; Ethel McDonough, singing come-| dienne; Fay, Two Coleys and Fay, in “From Uncle Tom to Vaudeville,”’ rich in clever nonsense; “Ye Colonial Sep- tette,”” a beautiful vocal and instru- mental act, with a handsome scenic and costume equipment; Jack E.

GENNARO’S BAND AT HIPPODROMD Gennaro’s Venetign Band scored a dis- tinct success. as the topline feature of the new vaudeville bill at the Hippo- drome yesterday. The act’s scenic get- ting represents the Grand Canal in Venite. Gennaro, an eccentric conduc- tor, has his players under admirable discipline and presents an attractive program. The new bill also includes Albert’s 10 trained polar bears, Chief Crowtail and his Sioux riders in a dashing act; Van's Minstrel Maids, costumes as Scotch las- sies, assisted by Dan Robey, in songs and dances; the Four Manning Sisters, singers; Virginia West and company, in “The Recruiting Officer;” Bella Belmont, English comedienne, and the Popular Four.

AMERICAN MINISTER TO RETURN TO CUBA Beaupre Will Try to Smooth Over Trouble Caused by At- tack on His Assistant. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Arthur M. Beaupre, United States Minister to Cuba, now in this country on leave of absence, will go back to Cuba in about 10 days, because of the strained rela- tions between the United States and the island republic. This decision is the result of the at- tack on Mr. Gibson, the American charge, who was assaulted by a Ha- vana newspaper reporter ‘named Maza. The attack was actuated because Gib- son insisted on a settlement of the Relil- ly claims, amounting to about $500,000, in cash rather than by check, payment of which might be stopped. Gibson’s whole course has been in ac- cordance with the Knox “dollar diplo. macy,’ and he will be supported to the

end. Beaupre will endeavor to smooth matters over, but he wil: not agree to let Gibson's assailant off. ie

FLOWERSSOLDTO NICARAGUAN ARE ‘AEDT “GOOD” BY AMERICAN TROOPS United States Virtually Has Placed Armed Protectorate Over Country. re 4 By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3—When the armored cruiser California arrives at Corinto today the United States Gov- ernment will have in Nicaragua an armed force of nearly 2300 men. The arrival of the cruiser Colorado at Cor- into Wednesday will bring the total up to 2500, and the men on the cruiser Cleveland, which sailed from Mare Island yesterday and will arrive at Cor- into late this week, wil bring the num- ber up to 2700. Dispatches from the American repre- sentatives in Nicaragua contained no new alarming news. Commander Terhune of the gunboat Annapolis, who is repairing the railroad and telegraph lines between Corinto and Managua, is pushing his work and his men are not molested. Quiet Prevails in Town, Quiet prevails at Corinto end the con- tiguous territory. The 125 Americans at Matagalpa, who asked for a guard several days ago, are safe. A small detachment of marines has been sent to Matagalpa and Admiral Sutherland, commanding the American forces, deems it sufficient for the pres- ent. The tone of the dispatches indicate that the purposes for which this Gov- ernment sent troops to Nicaragua—the enforcing of Knox ‘‘dollar diplomacy’’— has been effective. The customs houses, the guarding of which is the chief duty the troops in Nicaragua arg safe and the American supervisors are collecting the customs, According to diplomats here the United States virtually has placed an armed protectorate ovér Nicaragua, and Gen. Mena, the rebel leader, has reai- ized this and therefore is making no further effort te capture-Managua and that section of Nicaragua under control of the American troops. Holda Strategic Point. Mena retains his hold on Leon, and from all indications he will, unless United States troops dislodge him, hold that town and strategic pvint indefi- nitely. Some officials here think Mena will go to the mountains and wait till the American troops depart before resum- ing his campaign...Where is one draw- back tet rcity of food. If he can y.e+.-u. dis army can hold out in the mountains indefinitely, but if the Government troops.cut off his supplies he will be forced to surrender. A-famine threatens the entire country.

Stillwell was going about sixty miles un hour, according to William Halpin 6138 Minerva avenue, when, on the lap, he attempted to pass Harry 3 Collins, wha: was riding five feet from the top of the ‘track. The rule of the track was that riders should pass each other on the upper side. Although five » feet was scarcely room enough for te » ti Stillwell took a iong chancs, ac- éording to Halpin, and paid the pen- @ity. Halpin said Stillwell brushed ainst' Collins’ elbow with such force that Stillwell’s machine was deflected against the wire netting at the top of the track. It bumped along against the netting a few feet and collided with a post and Stillwell was hurled to the Bottom of the track and killed. o¢ Headgear Struck Rider. «George Price, a timekeeper, testified ‘that Stillwell was going between sixty Sdbd sixty-five miles an hour.

They got on the again and proceeded after # min- delay. The Edwardsville authori- - fies Gid not take the men’s names. CIPAL BAR SOUGHT pe Mrs. Early Becmes Il. It was then Early was taken: to the quarantine station. Shock of the realiza- tion that all of her hopes, raised. br medical men, had been dashed to the. ground caused Mrs. Early to become ill and the following month she was taken to a hospital in Tacoma. The news that she had: brought an action for divorce was received in this city today. Mrs. Early charges ‘‘ex- treme cruelity,”’ and the basis of it is that Early, who, when he fled across the continent, knew beyond the question of a doubt that he was af- flicted with the dread disease from which there is no relief but death, con- cealed the truth from her. It was this shock that forced her to go to the hos- pital. Since Early was placed in confinement his disease has reached a stage whith makes his living in seclusion necessary. While Mrs. Early has been in the hos- pital, her three children also have been in seclusion, with Mrs. Lamaur, mother of the Past Commander of the Spanish War Veterans.

Dougherty of Peoria Seeks to Clear Title to Property. Newton C. Dougherty, Peoria banker- educator, who was lately released on parole from the Illinois Penitentiary at Joliet, filed ‘in the St. Louis Circuit Court, Tuesday, a suit growing out of his dealings with the Peoria School Board. The suit is to clear title to property at 1017 Lucas avenue, St. Louis, which he conveyed to William T. Irwin, as trustee for the’ board and which, he alleges, has since been conveyed to E. D. McCulloch. The conveyance was made in March, 1906, to insure the amount of his indebtedness, he stated, and was made by him under a misapprehen- sion of the facts.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1912. =PART Twa. NEGRO BURGLAR IS SCHOOL BOARD IS SHOT IN A RAGE WITH POLICEMAN Patel Summoned . by Woman’ s Screams, Arrests In- truder, Who Breaks Away. Two burglars were captured in the] downtown section of the city Monday night. One, a negro, was shot and probably mortally wounded by Proba- tionary Patrolman Harry Steiner of the Carr Street District in a chase that aroused the residents of the block be- tween Wash street and Franklin ave- nue and Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The other burglar, a white man, was found crouched behind a safe in a saloon on lower Chestnut street. Patrolman Steiner was about to call the Carr Street Station from the tele- phone box: at Fourteenth and Wash streets shortly after 3 a. m., when he heard a woman screaming for help. «He traced the sound to the third floor of 1424 Wash street, the apartments of Um- berto Bruznone. The latter, revolver in hand, was emerging from the house when the policeman approached and Mrs. Bruznone, looking from a window, informed the policeman that a burglar had just run east on Wash street. Steiner trailed the negro to a yard behind 1405 Franklin avenue, and as he approached, the negro drew a knife and opened it. Stciner pulled out his re- volver and ordered the negro to sur- render. Instead, the burglar slashed the policeman’s coat with his knife and tried to take his revolver away. The two fought in the yard and the police- man finally overpowered the negro and started with him for a patrol box. First Fires in “Air. in getting over a low fence at the al: ley the negro again attacked the po- iceman and after a brief struggle got away and ran through a hallway to Wash street. Steiner fired a shot in the air and then aimed at the fugitive just as the latter darted into a yard at 1415 Wash street. ‘The shot shattered the negro’s hip and lodged in his abdomen. He was un- conscious when the policeman and resi- dents of the neighborhood, who had been arouséd by the chase, hent over him. He was taken to the city hospital and booked as a prisoner. The surgeons said he probably would die. His iden- tity was not established. Mrs. Bruzgnone had been awakened by the negro cutting a shutter at one of her windows. Man Hides Behind Safe. Sergt. John Flanagan, passing the gsa- loon of Eberth & Rauch, 413 Chestnut street, shortly before 1 a. m., saw a man slip behind the big iron safe in the front of the place. Knocking at the front door,:. the Sergeant called upon the burglar to surrender. The latter in- vited the policeman to come and get him. - Flanagan forced cpen the front door with his night stick and drew his re-: volver, but the burglar offered ne re- sistance. Erward Noonan, house detec- tive at the Planters Hotel, having heard the Sergeant break open the saloon | | door, had run across the street and assisted in taking the prisoner to Cen- tral Station. On the way the burglar | asked the Sergeant to kill him. The prisoner about he had entered the salaon through a transom over the back door. He was identified by Patrolman William O’Brien as Fred Williams, alias William Freder- ick, workhouse two years ago for stealing bottled beer from a saloon aft Third and Chestnut streets. The safe in the saloon which Williams | entered Monday but was not opened. The saloon of James Maher, 204 North Fourth street, was ransacked by a bur- glar Monday night. A revolver and a

quantity of liquor were stolen.

TO CONSIDER MORE FREQUENT PAYDAYS President * Announces. He. Will Take Up Question at the Next Meeting. a ’ Rhodes E. Cave, president of the School Board, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter, Tuesday, that he would take up at the next meeting of the Committee on Instruetion the question of supplanting ‘the present method of paying the salar- jes of teachers évery five weeks by an arrangement which would make for bye frequent pay days. This statement followed an editorial in the Post-Dispatch upon the subject and the appearance of several communica- tions in the “Letters from the People Column” of the Post-Dispatch, Tuesday, signed by school teachers, who com- plained that the’ present system of pay- ment places their affairg at variance with the commercial world, in which financial matters are reckoned usually by the month. ‘ Ben Blewett also said that he is in favor of a reform if it is desired by a majority of the teachers, and declared that, in case of a widespread demand for more frequent pay days, he would be glad to be the spokesman of the teach- ers before the School Board. “I am not opposed to this reform if it is desired by @ majority of the teach- ers,’ said Blewett, “‘and if there is a widespread wish for a change I should readily voice it before the School Board. “But, so far as I know, there has been no serious demand for a change. I myself have been employed by the School Board for 2% years, and have drawn my pay every five weeks dtring that time, with no cause for dissatis- faction,” Knows of No Concerted Demand, Cave said that, in his personal opin- ion, he thought the five-week payday a pretty good arrangement, and that, so far as he knew, there had been no con- certed demand for a change. However, he said, he would cause the matter to be debated by the Committee on Instruc- tion at the earliest possible opportanity. “The school year is 40 weeks long, and it has been found convenient to divide it into eight equal periods of five weeks each. This was the origin of the five- week payday.”

CATLIN-MERRIAM WEDDING OFF: He SEEKS VINDIGATION St. Louisan Hopes Voters Will Put Him in Congress Seat He Was Forced to Vacate. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. “VASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Those in Washington society who are remaining hcre for the summer were surprised to- day when an announcement was made/| that Miss Laura B. Merriam had broken her angagement to marry Theron. EB. Catlin of St. Louis. To the correspondent of the Post-Dis- patch Miss Merriam, who is living here at fashionable Chevy Chase with her brother, paymaster John H. Merriam of the United Staves Navy, said she and Catlin decided a day or so ago to break their engagement. She said the décision to do so was a mutual one and that there were no speci.lc reasons. Miss Merriam insisted that Catlin’s failure to hold his seat in Congress or the fact that he and his family were charged with. trying to corrupt the voters of Catlin’s Congressional District, had nothing to do with the sudden severance of their engagement. She said the best of friendship continues to exist between her and her late fiance. There are stories going the rounds of capital society in which Miss Merriam moves, that Catlin asked her to break their engagement until he had vindicat- ed himself before the people of his dis- trict and city, which he hopes to do in the November election. Another story is that the parents and friends of Miss Merriam have interferred, with the re- sult that both parties to the engage- ment agreed to sever it. The engagement of Miss Merriam and Catlin was announced a few weeks be- fore Catlin lost the contest for his seat in Congress from the Eleventh Missvuri District to Patrick Gill, Democrat, of St. Louis, and the incumbent in ths ixty-first Congress. Miss Merriam is one of the popular young women of the army and navy society circles. Sie has attended with her brother, Paymaster Merriam, many of the most brilliant social functions in the national capital in the last thresa or four years. Miss Merriam said she did not know what her plans fer the rest of the sum- mer season or the winter season would be. She said she was going to leave Washingtonfor a short time, but r> fused to say where she was going.

FIRST IN EVERYTHING

—— - AN IDYLLIO SITUATION. “The Wicked Partner” is the last resort of Col. Roosevelt in defense of his innocence, despite the proof of huge campaign contributions to his 1904 doughbag by wicked trusts. His campaign man- agers took the money without consulting him, and even against his wishes—expressed after the ac- ceptance. Moreover, the Republican party was rotten, and lived on big campaign contributions from favored interests. Now the Colonel is free from all danger of be- trayal by wicked partners. He has none. He has repudiated the corrupt Republican organization, and has his own party. The trust magnates who are helping him are idealists with a sincere desire to promote social justice and theis own undoing. Contributions in any amount from them may be taken with a clear conscience. The situation is idyllic—for the Colonel. = = rr

Fort Leavenworth has a correspondence course in methods of warfare and modern strategy, but it has not been extensively patronized by militia- men and others.

St. Louis’ Labor day parade, revived after an interval of some years, was the most remarkable union demonstration in the history of this city. On certain political and social questions, in- dividuals in the column it took an hour and 45 minutes to review differed widely—as widely as would any 35,000 people from other walks of life. But on some matters intimately connected with social ‘betterments, tnese 35,000 people were in en- tire agreement. The public questions on which this great number of people must be presumed

from their relation to one another.to be in unan- imous accord—the ideas they must necessarily hold in common—furnished the most impressive . thought suggested by the parade. What might not these 35,000 people accompli~h for their community, if they were as unanimous ix action as in opinion—if, for instance, they should vote in the single-mindedness with which they believe? For most of the ideas they hold in common are valuable ideas and they are on the right side of most of tne public questions on which they are unanimotts. The presence of many women made the fem- inine note in the parade more than ordinarily dominant. It was a feature to be expected. The past in fhe worid of achievement belonged large-' ly to the men, but women will play a conspicu- ous and influential part in iwe future. i, A A —- = =

Kreismann resigned from the Executive Committee of the St. Louis Symphony Society. Other members of the Hxrecu- tive Committee say they know 5 eae of her res- ignation. According to Mrs. Eikenent’s diagnosis the “sickness” of the organization is a combination of Temperament and Bossism. Temperament, which ig necessary to the making of good music, is con- ducive to the production of discord. That Con: ductor Zach has a temperament which conducts him to heights of passionate disdain but faintly expressed ir the famous phrase, “the public be

Camned,” has been proven on several occasions. As for, the Bossism—perhaps that is a rem- nant of old musical politics before popular rule was heard of in musical circles. What is the remedy? Shall we uave a progres- sive sympoony society and a new popular orches- tra playing to the peopled gallery? Or shall the cld Bossism he busted and the temperament tamed? | In any event, let us hope that the discords will be blended into accordant harmony before the season opens and that we shall have better con- certs than ever.

_ BOND OR FREE? The conflict between fundamental economic ideas involved in the national political campaign was clearly developed in Gov. Wilson's Labor day speech. The iesuse, as be Gcfined &, & Wicther our American government shall be socialistic under the Roosevelt scheme for eliminating competition and legalising monopoly, or Democratic under the Wilson program of eliminaticg monopoly and regulating competitiqn. This is one of the big issues of the campaign— more important in its far-reaching effect on fu- ture conditions than the tariff. Gov. Wils 1 shows that the proposed partner- ship between goverrment and Big Business will profoundly affect the condition of the wage earn- rs, because it will clothe their employers with governmental authority to enforce their will upon them in fixing their wages and determining the conditions under which they shall work. “Most of his (the wage earners’) employers, at any rate practically all of the most powerful of his employers,” he said, “would be wards and pro- teges of that very government which is the mas- ter of us all. So that the chief employers will have this tremendous authority behind them; what they do they will have the license of the Federal Government to do, including the right to pay the wages approved by the Government.” Gov. Wilson rightly points out that the busi- ness wards of the Government will endeavor to have the minimum wage, advocated by Col. Roosevelt, made the wage standard. He might have gone further and said that the fixing of profits, prices and wages by authority of the Government will compel the fixing and enforce- ment of a maximum wage. What workingman will dare revolt against a maximum wage fixed under governmental ap- proval? : Gov. Wilson asks the workingmen this perti- nent question: ‘ When you have thought the whole thing out, therefore, you wiil find that the pro- gram of the new party legalizes monopolies and systematically subordinates workingmen to them and to plans made by the Govern- ment both with regard te employment and with regard to wages. By what means, ex- cept upon revolt, could we ever break the crust of our life again and become free men? Naturally the magnates of lawless monopoly want the Roosevelt plan, because it will legalize tlielr monopolies, validate their watered stocks and bonds, insure their profits, fix prices and wages for their benefit. Naturally, the Socialists who want ready-made state socialism enforced, by law, support it, not because they like that kind of socialism, but be- cause it is a long step towards state socialism. They know that the Roosevelt socialism is plu- tocratic—that is, socialism framed and. controlled by plutocracy for plutocracy. But they believe that, it will drive the people to accept state social- ism as a relief from the horrors of state pro- tected private monopolies. But are intelligent Ar-erican workingmen will- ing to yield their freedom of action and their right to demand - fair share of the fruits of their lebor and to decide what wages they will accept? Are business men willing to surrender their freedom of business activity and become cogs in the wheels of a governmental business machine? Are the American people willing to destroy economic liberty in order that a few men who have criminally abused their :iberty may find a refuge from responsibility and punishment un- der law? Shall American civilization -be a free civfliza- tion for the benefit of freemen, or a slave civiliza- tion for the benefit of a few masters? Ai hi ii

Reynolds declines to be inter- viewed on account of his elevation to the bench. The matter about which he was approached was the suit by detectives for alleged services to the firm of Reynolds & Reynolds in shadowing men said to have been engaged in attempting to bribe the Municipal Assembly. Plainly inis is a matter of public concern. Judicial dignity is all very well, but no manner of judge should allow his conception of the exalted character of his position to obscure the fact that he is an ordinary servant of the people. There is no good reason why he should not be interviewed concerning a matter of public inter- est of which he has information. A Judge of the United States Supreme Court might very well disclose information of value to the public or bearing on a matter of grave public concern. Judges of all grades should be self- respecting and discreet, but there is no divinity which hedges them, EEE

FROM THE PEOPLE Monthly bien for Teachers: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with interest your editorial referring to the methods now in vogue of paying the teachers of St. Louis* It has been rumored from time to time that the present antiquated plan. of dividing the yearly in- come into eight equal payments occurring at in- tervals of five weeks would be superseded by one where these payments would occur every four weeks during school term, but as yet nothing material has been accomplished. It is evident that with the present system it is impossible for the large majority of teachers to observe any regular business method, owing to the fact that the yearly income is divided into payments which aré made at periods in variance with that of the commercial establishments. There are many teachers who are dependent to no little extent upon the remuneration that is re- ceived from outside sources during the summer, or leave the city during the vacation period for one or two reasons, i. e., to take up extension work in some summer school, or to escape from the high: cost of living in the city. The plan mentioned, that of dividing the income into 13 payments, would without a doubt be welcomed by every teacher of this city. This plan is in op- eration at least at one point, Boulder, Colo, with very satisfactory results. A TEACHER. —

Relief for the Dying. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch Sarah Harris is right. We have many societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Every- where there should be societies for the prevention of cruelty to humans. Sarah Harris is not a coward. She has common sense. The suffering of the dying should be prevented wherever such prevention is asked by the sufferer. It is amazing how’ barbarous we are. All honor to the true pl'ysicians who are speaking in the cause of hu- manity. -ANTI-SUPERSTITION, : Pay Teachers by the Month. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. You. thay put me down as one teacher favoring | the payment of school teachers by the month, dividing the annual salary into 12 installments. There are two reasons for such payment, 1. Its convenience. It would enable the teach- ers to pay their bills on the first of each month. As it is now, St. Louis teachers receive their “pay” anywhere from the tenth to the twentieth of the month, and owfMg to the Christmas holidays, an interval of six weeks intervenes between the December and January pay days, and meanwhile two months’ bills have accumulated. 2. Most school teacherg use up thelr salary as soon as they receive it. The result is that they huve to borrow during the summer vacation, and many teachers, to my certain knowledge, patronize the money lenders or “loan sharks.” In New York City they pay the teachers by the month, and at the close of the season they pay them up to August 1 and pay them their August salary when they return from vacation (Sept. 1). It would be pleasant to know that your salary continued during the periods of enforced idleness, even if the monthly installments were slightly smaller than the five-week payments. St. Louls school teachers received their last “pay” June 15, and they will receive their next pay Oct. 10. Creditors, please take notice! A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER. Importance of Sound Teeth. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I want to compliment you on the excellent ed- ucational editorials appearing in Wednesday's and Thursday’s Post-Dospatch on “A tooth brush crusade’’ and “The teeth of our school children.” Oral hygiene is a most vital topic, too long ignored by both the press and the public. In caring for the mouths of the children of an orphanage I found 85 per cent of them both mentally and physically delinquent, resulting from decayed teeth and diseased gums. When their mouths were put in a hygienic condition, they improved to a remarkable degree both in physical health and intellectually. BURTON LBE THORPE. | Kill the Rats! To the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. . I live in the southern part of St. Louls and have read with interest editorial regarding “The Whole Case Against the Rat.” The rats are so bad in this neighborhood that I would not consider for a moment to allow my baby, who is 2 years old, to play in the yard alone. I could without very tnuch expense put poison where the rats would be sure to get it, but what could one person do in that direction, especially *considering that there are millions more in the sewers throughout the city. It certainly is up to every citizen of St. Louis to see that necessary steps are taken to rid the city of this pest, and to use the words of the edi- torial, “Why not begin the systematic extérmina- tion of rats now?” MRS, J. Motherhood Consecrates Woman. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I always feel sorry for any man when he ex- presses a contempt for womankind, for he be- trays by such expression the fact ‘that, unfortu- nately for him, he has been barred from the so- clety of the millions of good, sweet, true and no- ble women who are all around us on every side, and has gone rather in the back alleys of life’s paths and sought out those poor creatures who have forgotten the mission of women. Let him who speaks in contempt. of women never forget that it is women who are the mothers of the race and in the worship of the Madonna, the Mother of Christ, we worship motherhood and womanhood. Fatherhood has its cares and responsibilities, but motherhood implies that your mother went down into the “valley of the shadow of death” that you might live. Then she clasps her loving arms about you, and through misfortune, sickness, or even the foot of the gallows as Mary went to the foot of the cross she follows you with her loving care and sympathy.

A QUESTION OF SKIRTS. From the New York Sun. Ere long the tide of homeward travel will bring the summer girl and her sis- ters and her cousins and her aunts back to Fifth avenue. The daily march of fashion will be resumed and the metrop- olis will speedily learn what its most adored citizens will wear. Much has been said of the imminent return to wide and voluminous garments within which the female form divine will rattle arouna like a dried peanut within its too ample shell. Reactions come in fashions ae in other things, and one seems to be sda in this matter. But in the summer just upproaching its close the maidens of Athens walked in the cool of the evening in the Place de la Constitution clad in gowns which revealed the sculpturesque lines of their classic figures better than the magical draperies of Phidias disclose those of the stone beauties in the national museum. In Trieste the girls wore skirts which gripped their limbs like vises. In Milan some damosels strode across the Piazza del Duomo with slashes in their skirts more than knee igh, and stockings—naturally there were stockings. In Venice the pigeons of St. Mark’s Square—but why go further? What did they wear in Paris? That is the only question. In answering it one must not forget that in the summer “gay Paris’’ is mostly out of town. But just before the middle of the present month it was plain that not ‘a few real Parisiand were in the city. And neither in what they wore nor in the displays of the great shops was there any positive evidence that womankind intended to make an immediate return to the con- cealment of its figure.

“NEW ANARCHY” IN ENGLAND. From the Advance. English religious weeklies are manifest- ing serious alarm over what they call the “new anarchy.” It is a revolt. of the labor classes against conditions, and of the upper classes against legislation to remedy these conditions. Labor refuses to be bound by agreements, and wealth is in rebellion against law. The British Weekly, In an article on the subject; calls it a struggle between the haves arfd the have-nots. “Last year,” says the Weekly, “‘some 700,000 people died. "Of these, 660,000 left nothing; 82,000 left $49,000,000, and 5000 left $216,000,000. The rich have much to lose tn the way of possession and privilege; the overwhelm- ing majority have nothing to lose at all.” It is because the rich few have so much and the many have so little that they are setting themselves against the liberal legislation which aims at more equality.

Uses of Trousers. From the Kansas City Journal. They are telling of a Kansas farmer who dresses his horses in pants the year round because in winter the garments keep an animal warm and in summer protects him against fites. This is pre- Gisely what pants do for .the men be- sides keeping some of them out of jail

Buying a Sponge. From the Houston Post. One of the society ls of Agra went into a drug store for a bath sponge. In asking for it she made the ludicrous mistake of requesting the clerk to give her a sponge bath. Fiattery and Cattery. Frem the Philadetphia Nell:

Her breath is like the morning dew that Annie Laurie’s lover knew. Her throat is pretty much the same as that of bar- rel organ fame, and what with Nature’s magic art, one couldn’t tell the pair ipart. There is no other time of year Quite like the season coming, When the first gold maple leaves appear And the pheasant gets to drumming. If every month were like to this, And Autumn’s breezes fanned it, The heart of man would bust with bliss. And people couldn’t stand it. A little bliss, so we have found, is almost always better. It keeps one foot upon the ground, and renders one its debtor. For all the tendency to soar, man’s place is on the planet, and it isn’t very ne before he’s sorry he be- gan it. ,At any rate, the mother bird will call her chicks about her; and tell them, as they may have heard, that they must do without her. Their papa will de- scribe the trip impending to the tropics, and give them many a kindly tip on this und kindred topics. He'll tell them all about the worms. They have in Guatemala, And other appetizing germs A bird may care to swallow. And having cleaned up everything, Including its’ betrothals, Intrepid youth will take the wing And look up Col. Goethals. They'll sit along Culebra Cut and crit- lcize it duly. It seems to be a first rate rut, but might be better, truly. They’ll thoroughly inspect the locks, de- bate about the filling, and sometimes sit upon the rocks and watch the drillers drilling. All tourists do it just this way, and sit around and hollow; and so, in season, will the jay, the redbird and the swallow. The festive calf will sniff the air and execute the Grizzly Bear. The colt will circle round tite lot and show the folks the Turkey Trot. The katydid concealed aloft will run her last few records off, and im the fragrant morning glow the quail will trill his piccolo. Well rid of Summer and its gloom, the presidential race will boom. The cooler atmosphere at' dawn will serve to clap the blower on. The zoo will try to swing its feet in something like a rythmic beat, and ‘n the Autumntime and cool the moose will mosey with the mule. The elephant, with heavy stride, Will flick the morning with his tail, And though the course is nice and wide, There'll be some crowding at the rail. The moving herd’s determined trot | Will sort of agitate the earth, And each of us will wager what He thinks his animal is worth. . The cautious voter will conceal Himself in some place well remote, And bid philosophy reveal How he should circumspectly vote. He'll read the platforms one by one, And speculate upon their fruits, And till that giant task ts done ‘Subsist on butternuts and roots.

He’ll hold his two hands on his head, compress his hot and throbbing brain, and scorn his own soft feather bed un- til the whole blamed thing is plain. The pits of politics are deep, and many a man, it may be said, has galloped where his elder® creep arid hit the bottom on his head. Where every other man you meet is-running, it is just as well, to hie away to some retreat and think things over for a spell. The tu- mult and the shouting die-.in such a placé, the brain revolves, and almost always, by and by, the current quandary dissolves. There is no other cure we know for all the evils that befall the troubled country in its woe like some- times taking to the tall. The soft vibration in his lute will ecstacize the poet’s soul, and once of rausic destitute, its sweetest symphonies will roll. The sassafras will gleam again upon the high and templed hill, and in the sweetness of his pain he'll knock out many a fancy trill. When Homer smote his blooming lyre, He always gave it something more’ When the sumach buéshes were afire, And the red leaves sifted through the door. He held it tight between his knees, Secure against his strongest lick, And by the blue Agean seas He hit it like a ton of brick. The Autumn Equinox will blow The last midsummer bug away, And the farmer in his tall corn row Will whistle blithely all the day. He’ll have his motor car, too-toot, And love to hear it purr and hum, And some folks, too, will have to scoot That once he borrowed money from. And then October will displace the present month with gentle thrust, and the thrilling presidential race will put up forty times the dust. Bull Moose Possum Caught.

; aie ‘Stolen a Tr II By HOWARD CROSBY WARREN. THE POST-DISPATCH DAILY SHORT STORY: ~ HERE was a fire in the electric light station on Forty-Sixth street one evening last June— not @ very serious one, but just enough to throw the whole ' plant out of gear. The com- pany set to work energetically and had erything in full running order again tty 9 o'clock. This incident the ordinary householder and pedestrian would have arded merely _— a nuisance, but, te poo’ enou it was but a few minutes before t “y fire that the discov- ery of a serious leak in the gas main nad necessitated cutting off the gas, thus plunging that section of the city into total darkness for nearly two hours. Then everybody criticised both companies impartially and forgot the _ r next day. But there dre at least two families who will not soon forget e episode. When the lights went out at Cart wright and Taylor’s Livery Stable ylor was in the act of giving ‘tiree. tions to several of his drivers. Two large church weddings were scheduled “for the same hour, and a number of Carriages had been ordered from his establishment.

Then he beckoned to Henry. “Following me up again, sir, I see,” he said smiling. ‘‘Well, you’re too late this time; but you are welcome to stay and help us entertain. Only I suppose you would prefer to receive your own friends at your own—at your wife's house.”’ A few words served to explain the situation. The outer garments they had worn were soon foued, and they were shown out with marked politeness. Meanwhile the carriages that had fol- lowed Henry’s from the church were divided. The remainder of the bridal party had simply followed their leader. A numbef of the guests did the same. A few drivers who had received instruc- tions beforehand had gone to Mrs. Fos- ter’s. Some had stopped for further di- rections. The streets were still quite dark and nome of the guests knew ex- actly where they were. The carriages with their bridemaids and ushers had become tangled up in the jam near the Tweedys’ and could not be extricated immediately. It was some time before everything was straightened out and the progress of the reception and din- ner at the Fosters’ was comsequently much delayed Alice and Henry had planned a mod- est trip to the old elnes homestead near Saratoga. When all was ready they made a dash for their carriage and, amid the usual shower of rice and old ‘shoes, drove off to the Grand Cen- tral. This time the lights were lighted, and the driver had been carefully in- structed beforehacid. “There are the tickets, porter,’’ said Henry, when they reached the station. “Get these things checked quick, for we're late. I'll be in the waiting-room.”’ In the station they found r. and Mrs. De Soto. George smiled as he rec- ognized Henry, and‘ said to him: “You're fol wing us up still, Going to the Falls “No, to Ebon bgt replied Henry. Mrs. De Soto spoke to Alice, and the latter was proud of her first opportuni- ty of referring to ‘‘Mr. Gaines"’ with at peculiar tone of possession that only a new wife can assume. Then De Soto’s man came in with tickets and checks, and they parted. A moment later Henry’ s porter came in too, and he and Alice started for the platform. They were stopped by a gateman. ‘The other door, sir,”’ said he. “This is not the special.” Henry glanced at the signboard over the door in some surprise, but went obediently through the other gate. He looked at his seat check, and found the car. ; “Why, this is a sleeper,”’ he exclaimed as he entered it. “Yes, sir; yes, sir,” said the local despot. “Just what your ticket calls for, sir. This train don’t carry no day coaches, sir.’ Soon they were comfortably seated, and forgot the world, the train, and the porter in thoughts of each other. “Anything I can do for you sir?’’ asked the porter, coming back some time after. “No,” answered G Henry. wait, vs he added at. makes the train so late in starting?

To his amazement they read: “Now York to Montreal, via Ni- agara Falls.”’ At that moment a messenger boy en- tered the car and began calling out, ‘Gaines!

By NIXOLA GREELEY. SMITH. W HEN a City Magistrate remarked the other day that all unhappy marriages have their origin in little things be uttered a truth which even those who had never encountered it before must have recognized as a self-evident proposition. Nearly all of us are ade- quate to the great crises of married life. It is far easier to rise to @ catastrophe which happens once in a lifetime than to support the daily friction of uneventful association with its many unavoidable clashes, each one negligible in itself, but taken altogether quite a heavy cargo of woe for the good ship Matrimony to carry in a choppy sea. Now, what are most of these little matrimonial clashes about? Isn't if money? Isn’t it because in so many households neither husband nor wife hag any sustained idea of what it should cost them to live, and neith- er of them has a definite notion of what proportion of the family income should’ be the personal property of the wife? Certainly, judging from letters I have received from time to time the financial question is respon- sible for much of the dissension between husbands and wives. Let us consider two of these letters, one from a dissatisfied husband who states his side of a quarrel, the other from a wife with a real grievance. The wife writes: Expected to Perform Wonders on §10 a Week. Dear Madam: Please tell me if $10 per week is an extravagant sum to spend for three meals a day for three adults,. pay ice and milk bills, all soaps for laundry and toilet pur- poses, pins, needles and thread for household use; in fact, if I need a jar of cold cream I must make it reach so this amount covers my daily needs. I am expected to serve meat twice a day, some kind of breakfast food and exes for the morning meal. My husband earhs a good salary, $50 per week, yet he ‘grumbles about giving me this amount every week. I do a)i my own housework and a big share of the family wash.

She doesn’t state what becomes of the other $40 of the weekly income, how much goes for rent, insurance, how much for her own and her husband's clothes. These are all important factors in considering her problems, and with- out knowing them, ail one can say !s that the housewife who can serve meat for three adults twice a day on $10 a week with beef and lamb varying from 85 to 40 cents a pound, ig an able admin- istrator.

The husband writes: His Wife Refuses to Account for His Money. Dear Madam:'Is my wife justified in objecting to my keeping an ac- count of our household expenses?

My wife claims she would do this had she the handling of the money. I know differently. Her mother used to get all her fath- er’s wages. The result was, nothing saved. My wife has never worked for a living and does not know the value of money. She scorns to econ- omize 5 or 10 cents. If she can’t Bave a dollar she thinxs it’s no use.

I don’t drink. I am always home at night. Must I turn my money over to an inexperienced girl? A. ily Now, the difficulty of such prob- lems as these is that they cannot be solved by a fixed rule. There are too many spendthrift women to say that every man ghould turn over his entire salary to his wife. And there are too many mean men to declare that.the husband is al- ways the better administrator of the family funds. Certainly ne woman has a right to object to the keeping of accounts, and she should give her husband every assistance possibie in his efforts to learn how the money is spent. It !s perfectly true that the big teak in all our in- comes is due to our American scorn of taking care of the pennies. In every association of a man and a woman there is always one person more endowed with financial fitnesse than the other. That person, irrespective of sex, should be the administrator of the g2n- eral family fund, But in no instance is &@ man justified in depriving his wife of @ fixed personal allowance and so fore- ing her to petty subterfuges to obtain the money he considers her unfit to handle, Told Wife te Use the Aute and Save Car Fare.

According to David Graham Phillips end other interpreters of the ways of the wealthy, thie practice of keeping the wife in absolute dependence ig common among very rich men.

And, mark you, the fear of poverty is not a failing (for it is that) with the so-called poor, but as well with the woman higher up in the monetary scale of things. The everlasting cry is, “What shall I do should things take a turn for the WORSE?” With such people the turn takes them. People may bs biessed with PLENTY, but the fear of poverty is EVER PRESENT—the day when they may not have what is NOW theirs. It is the continuous “‘death’s head at the feast.”’ Have you lost your job, and have you but a very little store on hand that may. or may not last until the next thing is in order? ‘ Do you fear that you may have to esk for help? Does every disappointment in the find- ing of work add ANOTHER pang to the FEAR process? And do you fear, and fear, and fear? - Well, then if you can but dates that fear never got anything more than MORE fear, and that the big souls who have “ARRIVED” have often been re- duced to the very verge of poverty, and ENDURED it, coming out stronger and bigger. Then it would behoove you to “brace up” and be brave, putting fear into the future. Fight him WHEN HE COMES. The nightmare of fear becomes a MASTER and makes SLAVES of us all, And the manly man is he who can, as Kipling puts it, say: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master: Tf you can think—and thoughts your aim, If you can meet withgTriumph and Dis- aster And threat those two impostors just the samdé If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken. Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ‘em up with worn- out tools”—— not made It is another common phase of cross- ing bridges made in the imagination. And we spend ourselves in the process. While being satisfied with the present is *T 2 doubtful dawn came dim and os And dimmer grew the day; € a The kildee whistled among the weeds, The blue crane clanged in the river reeds, And a mist fell wild and gray. At dawn she stood, her heavy hood Flung back, in the ferryboat, To watch the rebel raiders ride, Her rebel love with his men beside, His kiss on her mouth and throat, Like some wild spell the tempest fell, Like some dark curse night came; For hours she heard the warring dead Whose batteries. ed overhead . With thunder and with flame. And now again, in the wind and rain, She toiled at the creaking oar, Oh, what had she heard in the night and storm? Whose’ voice was that, and whose the form That . galloped to the shore? Across the stregm, in the tempest’s gleam, Who sent that wild halloo? i In the lghtning’s glare, who was It %, there, The wind and rain in his tossing hair, And his gray cloak torn in two? Through rain and blast oar fast! oar. fast! Row down the rushing tide! Look where he rides in the lightning’e glow! And hearken now to his far hallee! But only a horse, with head hung low, A blur of blood on the saddlebow, Comes nickering to her side. —Madison Caweiv in | Hareeee not the’only consideration, yet the look- e —Hiatiniee we Ritiads PEEETEREDEORED RGN PEPETUPEOE TEUPPERUTETEUEEC ETT E REE EERE CEETEP EATER | Where You Can Make a Vacation Worth While 1 t | bed Sreteaerieatil Hi Mi oa BOSTON TENT ' ried ' ' Tit Pet REET TEtt ist gaa

But he’s hardly yellow enough to fill the bill, judging by the way he gives away odds in weight and whips his opponents. * ee * CALL A CLAIRVOYANT! -— CLARKE, the “fighting ghost,”’ materialized at Pittsburg, Monday. He landed hard and often enough on Joe Jeanette’s jaw to convince that championship aspirant that it takes no medium to bring him back. ANOTHER DURABLE KID. BNCIDENTALLY the bout ought to convince Joe Jeanette that he .has as much chance to succeed in six-round bouts as a butcher has to make a watch with a cleaver. Joe is the original dis- tance kid. Hoe is an unabridged size of the type of which Bat Nelson is a rocket edition. Joe’s physical make is largely leather, whalebone and drawn steel. The harder he’s bent the faster and harder he bounces back. Sam McVey bounced him off the floor no less tha times in one fight and each time J me back harder. He finally ‘“‘got’’ McVey in the forty-ninth round. Men of that stripe have no business in short fights, if they are trying to create ‘a championship impression. Clever men make them look foolish; and while the punishment they receive may be trivial, the loss in reputation is considerable. BAT TRIED THE GAME. AT NELSON was the same sort. Even efter he had won and defended the title he could not make a showing against the clever six-round boys of the Bast and ee prestige by his poor display of “*box- Had Jeanette met Johnson in that 10-round

. with the elite. He has fought 20 and 30 rounds with men like McVey and Langford. But aside from showing improvement with the distance, he could not be spoken <€ as sure enough championship stuff. CLARKE Is NO «pUB.” iS showing against Jeff Clarke, a mia- dlieweight, was a sample of what may be expected. Any fast, clever man can punch him and get away. Clarke, however, is no mean foe, although Langford dropped him for the count after one round of fighting at Joplin, Mo. Clarke can trim half the white hopes in the country today. He is a sturdy negro, brought out by Jimmy Bronson, the Joplin referee. Stage fright made him easy prey for Langford. He has improved greatly in the last year or two. His prow- ess has been mentioned before in this col- umn. That a man who can make the middle- weight limit could stand off Jeanette, even for. six rounds, is indication that Jeanette would not have had the slightest chance against Johnson. In fact, it is in line to admit that the boxing commission saved somebody's life. You can guess whose. ” MOTOR RUST ~ PERIL LIVES WIN FREAK Speed-Crazed Professionals Will- ing to Take Any Chance on the Track. By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. “That’s no sport for a man with a nervous system,” said an old timer as “he stood in the center of the Priester’s neck, trying to keop track of the speed- mad motor cyclists who clung to the inclined track like flies to a ceiling. This motor drome thing is still new to St. Louis, and because it possesses an even grester thrill-than aviating, auto- mobiling and bullfighting, it seems due for a sort of unhealthy patronage, de- spite the fact that Priester’s Park is somewhat distant from ths center of the town. Of all the branches of sport now on the calendar, motor cycling on a 62%- degree track is the most dangerous. Put & man on one of the high-power sput- ters and start him around a quarter- mile track and there’s no telling what’s apt to happen. He may shoot over the top, tumble into a gulley below the bot- tom of the track, fall off and be run over by a competitor or be blown to dust if the machine explodes. Amateurs Ruled Off, But the public has taken to it. The new motordrome, still in its infancy, has claimed one death. Fortunately, the amateurs have been ruled off the track and none but ex- perienced drivers are now permitted to per- form. Without such precaution there’s no telling what the fatality list would total. But even these veterans at the game cajse a shiver to run down one’s back aa.they spin around the bowl. They take too many chances. Just above the edge of the race track proper is a strip of boarding 12 inches high, forming the lower portion of the sup- port for a screen fence at the top of the run, Between heats Monday afternoon an argu- ment was overheard in which four of the drivers were interested. One of the riders, who hadn't caught his breath from the ex- ¢Citement of the last race, wanted to wager all he had in his clothes, as well as next week’s salary. that he could pilot his ma- chine about the board stripping without missing once in a mile. Evidence of Madness. To go this one better, one of the other fel- lows said he was seeking to make a wager that he could ride five miles, or 20 laps at less than a mile a minute without even touching his handlebars. And still learned alienists are permitting these fellows to run looge. But the public seems to be demanding these freak risks. Standing near one of the entrances to the stand Monday was Frank Sebastian, the local semi-pro baseball magnate and a stockholder in the Motordrome, “T have been standing here less than five minutes,” said Sebastian, “but during that time no lese than a dozen of my friends have stepped up and inquired: ‘Well, Frank, how many riders are going to be killed. today?’ They're not wishing harm on anyone, but the public has been read- ing of the dangers of this new sport and is looking forward to accidents. It’s really horrible to say that the patrons go away disappointed if a session is conducted without an accident; but it’s the same at an automobile meet. There they are con- stantly on the lookout for someone to go through the fence.” Fields Are Too Large. There was no accident at either the afternoon or evening session Monday. But that doesn’t mean there is to be no more spills. In one heat Monday there were five competitors. It seems that’s too many, although in motor cycling, as in any other sport, the bigger the field, the more exciting the contest. It was an uneven race, which fact probably enabled the men to race three miles without any disaster. But when five men and ma- chines get away on even terms on ‘a nar- row track, it’s a miracle if nothirig disas- trous happens. A 26-mile marathon is the big card for Wednesday's evening's session. That means each starter will be required to

make 104 laps to complete the distance.

| Matty Lost Five Games in August; Wins Two His First September Out

Poor old Christy Mathewson! The old spav won but one game, Aug. 8, if the whole month of August. On the contrary he lost five in a row. But after August comes September and that’s Matty’s month to shine. Matty didn’t work the first day of the month be- cause the Giants didn’t play. But on Sept. 2 he went out and won two games, giving him an average of one victory a day since old September began. Big Six was rushed into the breach in the ninth frame ef Monday’s first bout, after the Braves had tied the score at Marquard’s expense. He blanked the Braves for four rounds, giving Larry Doyle a chance to smash out a home run in the twelfth with two on. The Giants won, 5—2. Then Matty came back and won the second soiree, 6—1, in seven innings. Matty now has the distinction of being one of the few big league pitchers to win two games in one day this season. Many of them have tried the ‘“‘iron-man” stunt, but few have succeeded. Marquard, by the way, has a record of losing two in one aft- ernoon, this sad dose being administered to the Rube by our own Cardinals at Robieon Field in July. Cubs Seem Out of It. creased New York’s lead to six full games. The Giants have 34 more to play. If they break even, 17—17. the Cubs will oe sree In other words, a pace will demand a sprint of . The Oubs still have a Chance—but he’s on the bench and is unfit for duty. Yea. Fran- cis Lerey will never play again. Another etartiing surprise of Labor day's baseball grist was the double defeat’ of the Nationals at the hands of the Monarchs of Mack. Walter Johnson fell the score in the ninth end winning out in the tenth at the Kansan’'s expense, This brings Philadelphia to within one-half a game of second viace. Jinx Laporte Piayed, Yes, Frank Laporte played! The $6000 Jinx which Mr. Griff purchased from Mr. Stovall has the unenvied record of having played in every game lost by the WNa- tionals since Aug. 15. He's one of the best little Jinxs in. baseball. The Superbes and Phillies staged two interesting tilts. In the inaugural, Ying- ling out-dueled Alexander, and won, 4—2, in 11 innings. In the afternoon, Rixey won from Rucker, 2—1 in 13 frames. Cin- cinnati took both bouts from the Cards, and now O’Day’s gang is only one and one-half games behind the Phils, who cling to fourth place. Two more pennant scrambles were set- tled Monday. Houston was awarded the Texas League flag after beating Galves- ton in the first game of double-header. However, the victory wasn’t needed, as Houston has held a secure lead for the past month.

son was lucky to escape from a knock out] when he failed to take seriously ‘‘Wildcat” Ferns of Kansas City’at the opening of their 10-round bout here last night. Bronson seemed to think the Wildcat didn’t amount to much as a fighter. The Wildcat turned out to be a fighter and not a boxer. He handed Bronson a right-hand jab on the jaw in the first round that floored Bronson and came near ending the bout. Bronson was a little more cautious in the second, but in the third Ferns hooked Bron- son with another right-hander to the jaw nd he went down for the count of nine, Bronson was the cleverer, but Ferns had it on him as a rough and tumble fighter. No decision was given. : TRENDALL EARNS DRAW IN BOUT WITH SHERMAN MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 3.—Because he was in none to good condition, Harry Trendall, the ‘Pride of the Patch” of St. Louis, has asked for another bout with Joe Sherman, a local lightweight, who was credited with an eight-round draw with the Missourian here yester- day. Trendall proved the gleverer boxer but Sherman outroughed him and was the stronger. Before the bout, Sherman wanted to claim the weight forfeit, in- asmuch as Trendall refused to get on the scales. Trendall said the bout was at catch weights and was upheld by the club officials.

Rat Nelson in a Draw. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Sept. 3.—Battiling Nelson and Steve Ketchel went 15 rounds to a draw yesterday. Nelson displayed flashes of the form which made him fa- mous, and worked both hands, with the body for his target. In return, the former champion was roundly beaten in the face time and again by Ketchel, whose game- ness stamped him as a comer. Ketchel was floored in the eleventh round with a stiff right to the stomach. He went through the ropes and laid there fully 190 seconds, but for some unknown reason the referee made no count. Nelson did not protest. :

CINCINNATI, Sept. 3—Two weeks ago the Cardinals had visions of fin- ishing in fourth place. Today Manager Bresnahan is scheming to keep his pro- teges out of seventh hole. The double defeat sustained here yes- terday was a sad blow to the recedinz St. Loulsans. It marked the fifth de- feat in seven games on this trip, and the club now seems so disorganized that Bresnahan will be lucky to keep ahead of the superbas, who are improving every day. On the other hand, the Reds, who are hated rivals of the Cards, have taken a determined brace. and now aspire to a berth in the first division. The Cardinals were beaten from the start in the first frolic yesterday, the final count being 5—2, but in the second game, some weird baseball was responsible for the defeat. 5—4. Steve Evans’ utter inability to catch a fly ball gave the Reds no less than three unearned runs in the final bout. And be- Cause of his poor exhibition of fielding, Bresnahan benched Steve in the fifth inning and substituted Rube Bilis, Evans Has Bad Day., : In the second inning, Evans made no ef- fort to catch Grant’s liner and it netted three bases. Grant scored a moment later on &@ sacrifice fly. Then In the fifth, Bescher got a triple on a tall fly to right field and when Mitchell followed up with a double on @ lofter that Evans should have caught, Bresnahan called a halt and sent Ellis to the right garden. Another pathetic feature of the game was Bresnahan’s attempt to play “through a reg- ulation game. Roger is not in condition to play, but he still has the knack of making base hits. In the seventh frame, he poled a double, scoring Hauser and Oakes. However, Bresnahan was ‘‘winded’’ when he reached the middle sack and called on Harmon tv relieve him. Harmon was advanced to third, but fell victim to the “hidden ball’’ trick. rulning a Cardinal rally. Wrangling Mars Second. The second game was marred by frequent wrangling.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Sept. 3— Dr. D. C. Peyton, superintendent of the Indiana Reformatory, has made an- nouncement that he has completed ar- rangements for having the institution equipped with a psychological labora- tory for the study of criminals. The laboratory, it is said, will be the first of its kind. It is a well-known theory that many if not most of the criminals are victims of defective or undeveloped brains. Dr. Peyton and other criminologists hope that work in the laboratory will aid ‘n discovering the exact nature of these defects and develop means of ouring them. Prof. Rufus Bernard von Klieinemid, - nead of the department of psychology and education at De Pauw University, has been engaged to come hére as &8-— sistant superintendent of the mrea- tory, in charge of the laboratory. Ile will make a study of the psychology of criminals, while Dr. Peyton will work . on the pathology of criminals. The reformatory, to which all male offenders in Indiana between the ages of 18 and 30, except those receiving fe to 14000 prisoners the year round, Dr, Peyton said that researches to date show probably one-third of those enter- 12 years of age, although physicalig. more than twice that age. Defective Brain Cause. “Crime is not exactly a disease,” Dr. Peyton said. “It may better be 7-e undeveloped brain. Through medical science the world learned that insa:liy is a physical and not a spiritual fll and kindness and scientific treatment nat bisa’ harshness and unscientifie mk: ods. So also crime is a problem for the Wl Soclanaans ‘and the psychologist, and the field of research is the brain and the mind. -We should recognize that crime, like disease, has natural causes arid before we can .treat the offender we must know his genesis. “We account for crime deformities: by reason of an inflammatory tnterference with the brain cells. May not sclencée yet. disclose that crime is but the nat~ ural reason of the defective or unde-- veloped brain.’ Who will undertake to point out the sharp line of demarkation between the normal and the abnormal; or tell where sanity leaves off or insan- ity begins, Laboratory Work Feasible, | “We have the curable and pen EE, physical defects and we have the our- able and the incurable diseases. There. is an apparent and intimate relation between crime and defect. After all, it is the Integrity of the brain that de- termines the integrity of the life. startling advance made in the last half ccntury in the general world of science by the exact methods of laboratory in- vestigation has suggested the feasi- bility of their application to the — lem of penal science. “The psychological laboratory ts no knger an experiment. The work done by Prof. Hugo Munsterberg at Harvar’ and by others in this fleld prove con- clusively the potency of the method 'n determining mental qualities, in detect- ing psychic defects, and in estimating the general state of the central nerv- ous system. “But, incredible as it may seem, there ix no penal or reformatory institutie: having the care of males where psycho- logical methods formulated on scientific laboratory experiments are in use or even where a comprehensive scheme of psychic findings has any place in the general management of criminals. “The idea of punishment for crime is in essence singularly archaic, harking back to the old punitive system of the Mosaic law. We would not have maud- lin sentiment usurp the place of even strabismic justice, but we would ap- otf broad humanism and treat it as « problem of physical science. prove the offender unless we know him, and to know him we must study him - his conduct, his physical and menta! makeup, the general ensemble of qualities, This can be done, first, in the dividual handling; and, second, in the

Worsting the Professor. HE Rev. Dr. Ritchie of Edinburgh, though a very clever man, once met his match. When examining a stu- dent as to the classes he attended, he said: “I understand you attend the class for mathematics?”’ “Yes.’’ “How many sides has a circle?” “Two,” said the student. “Indeed! What are they?” What a laugh in the court the stu- dent’s answer produced when he prompt- ly said: “An inside and an outside.”’ The doctor next inquired: “And you attend the moral philosophy class also?’’ “Yes.”’ “Well, you doubtless heard lectures on various subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?’ **Yes.”’ “Does an effect ever go before a cause?’ : **Yes.’’ : “Give me an instance.” “A barrow wheeled by a man.” The doctor hastily sat down and pro- posed no more questions.—San Francisco Chronicle. He Knew His Business. HE elderly woman was walking along with a young woman, evi- dently her daughter, and a young man. A newsboy persistently asked the young man to buy a paper. “Gwan and buy one. I want to sell out and git home to my maw! She’s by herself.”” The boy hung on mntil he was dismissed by a negative nod. Then hesapproached the elderly woman. ‘You buy one,” he said, “No; I can’t read,”’ said the woman, with a smile. “I'm a German.” Then the young man was approached again. ‘“‘You kin read. Go ahead and buy one. You kin read it to her.”’ “No; my eyes are bad. I can’t see very well.” But the newsboy was determined to make a sale. “Well, buy one for your girl,” indicating the younger woman, “she’s got pretty eyes!" And, needless to say, he made the sale.—Indianapolis News.
