squad raided the barber: shop of Wil- liam Weinnschke at No. 14 on the Eads Bridge at noon Friday. The detectives found evidence, they say, of a lottery being conducted in the barber shop. The shop had been reported to the po- lice as a popular gathering place at noon time for clerks in the vicinity. After they had seen several groups of young men enter and leave the shop al- most immediately at noon Friday the detectives went in and arrested the bar- ber and his porter, Arthur Longley, a negro. In a drawer partly filled with towels, the detectives say, they found two batches of “Old Reliable, Class J,’’ lot- tery tickets, and a sheet with the win- ning numbers of: the last drawing of the “Standard Investment Co.” The police thought they had put the “Old Reliable.’ lottery out of business & year ago.

Miss Henry is,editor of Life and Labor, official organ of the Woman’s Trades Union League.

| NEWPLEATOT.R. -_ Governor’s Letter; Given to: Roosevelt in St. Louis, Argued Against Third Ticket as Endangering Party Success and Prom- ised Support in Return.

PROGRESSIVES MAY _ NOT GET ON BALLOT Colonel’s Only Semblance of Reply to Offer Was a De- _ mand in His Speech That * Followers Name _ Their | Candidates. abe ee er ce * _ Col, Roosevelt’s contemptuous treat- Ment of the letter sent to him by Gov. Hadley, suggesting a Missouri com- promise between the Progressive and Republican parties, has caused the be- ef that the Governor will make no further overtures to the Progressives. His proposal was that the Progressives Should indorse Republican State nom- Inees, and he held out in return the Prospect that many Bepublicans would vote for Roosevelt. Gov. Hadley sent the letter to Col. Roosevelt by A: A. B. Woerheide, presi- dent of the Police Board and an out- and-out member of the Progressive par- ty. The Colonel read it, but sent no re- ply, and made no acknowledgment until, in an interview in Iowa, he told of hav- ing received and rejected a compromise proposal from Missouri Republican lead- ers. He did not mention Hadley’s name, and said he had replied to the proposal in his speech before the convention. Going back over his Jai Alai Building speech, the Colonel’s supporters then recalled that he had advised them to nominate an. independent State ticket, but said it was not necessary that all their candidates for judgeships should belong to their party, so long as they Were progressive men. The convention took a more radical view of this mat- ter than the Colonel did, and rejected the Republican nominees. for the Su- preme Court, putting up men from their Own number. Doubts If He Cap Get on Ticket. . Hadley told the Colonel in his letter that, in his opinion, neither the State nominees nor the Roosevelt’ electors could be placed on the official ballot un- til the State primary law has been de- clared unconstitutional. Hadley’s letter recommended the Re- publican. State nominees individually, with the exception of James J. Alford, nominee for Secretary of State, and Ed- ward G. Marsh, nominee for Railroad Commissioner. They were ignored. , The Governor said in his latest state- ment that, so far as he knew, no other communication than his had been sent to Col. Roosevelt concerning the sit- uation. He also said he had not intrust- ed Jesse Tolerton, State Game Ward- en, with any mission in the matter. Woerheide met the Colonei on the train between Indianapolis and St. Louis. When he was asked Tuesday, by long- Mistance telephone, if he had made a eproposition to Roosevelt, the Governor ‘told a Post-Dispatch reporter he had fent no communication to Col. Roose- velt, What Governor Wrote. . Gov. Hadley’s letter, in full, is as fol- lows: Sept. 1, 1912.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt, St. Louis, Mo.: My Dear Col. Roosevelt ~—I am writing you witn reference to the political situation in this State, in order that you may have the informa- tion necessary for a decision as to what recommendations you will makes to the Progressive State convention as to the mination of a State ticket. *I realize clearly that I have no right ty ume to advise -you as to the course that you should pursue, or to @tivise as to ths course that the conven- tion should pursue.

of progressive principles and policies. John C. McKinley, our candidate. for fsovernor, was elected Lieutsnant-Gov- ernor in 1904 and on a progressive plat- form, and has been twice the nominee of the Republican party for United States Senator. While-he was not a supporter of yours in the preconvention campaign, he took no active partin that contest. He deservedly .claims, to have been a pioneer for progressiv3 policies in this State, having for years been an advocate of direct primaries, the initia- tive and referendum and the direct elsc- tion of United States Senators. Hiram Lloyd, our candidate for Lieu- tenant-Governior, was in charge of your campaign for the nomination in St. Louis. He is a member of ths General Assembly, and as floor leader of thé Re- publicans in the Legislature has always been a strong advocate of progressive policies and principles. J. Mason, our candidate for At- toerney-General, was one of your active supporters in Southwest Missouri and is truly a Progressive, as are also Mr. Green B. Greer, our candidate for State Auditor, and Mr. Daniél B. Hoéfer, our candidate for State Treasurer. All of thes3 meh were members of the con- gressional conventions that sent dele- gates to Chicago in your interest. Points to Judge’s Views. ‘Our three candidates for judges of the Supreme Court—Judge John Ken- nish, Stephen 8S. Brown and Charles Denton —are all well known as nomination. Kennish, as Assistant Attorney-General, was my right-hand man when I was At- torney-General, and r@ndered most effective service in tre Standard Oil and other anti-trust litigation. As Judge of the Supreme Court he has made a most enviable record 48 an upright, open-minded Judge, fully re- sponsive to the necessity of constru- ing the law so as to promote the ends of justice and the protection of human J udge Stephen S. Brown, who, 16 years, distinguished himself on the. battlefield of ttys- burg, has made a splendid record as one of the Supreme Court Commis- sioners, and is horoughly progressive in his attitude toward public ques- tions. Judge Denton, who now hold by my appointniént, the position o Pardon Attorney, served with dis- tinction ag Circuit Judge. and was one of your active supporters in the reconvention campaign being se- ected as one of the delegates from the Sixth Congressional istrict to the Republican national convention, I have. stated somewhat in detail the records of the judicial candidates, itions are in no sense, or ou to be treated as .

successful. What attitude those votsrs will assume if they feel that the action of the Progressive State convention has insured Democratic success« you can judge as well as I. At all evants, I be- lieve I am entirely within the truth ».when I say that in the adoption of such a course as I have suggested the cause of good government in the Stats of Mis- souri, as represented by the candidates of the Republican party, and your inter- ests are by no means antagonistic. There are, I believe. treusands of Re- publicans in this Stave who would feel more friendly disposed toward your can- didacy if they felt the action of the Progressive State convention had pro- moted, rather than impaired, the chances of election of the Republican candidates for State ahd local offices. There are, in my opinion, no legal obstacles to the renomination by the Progressive con- vention of ths Republican candidates for State offices. Existing statutes will have to be declared unconstitutional, in my opinion, before the Progressive can- didates for State and loca) offices, and, in fact, for presidential electors, can be placed upon-the ballot. But there is no valid inhibition against the nomination of the candidates of one partv by an- other. I wish. Im conclusion,,to submit in sup- port of such a policy ds I have suggest- ed, that the present must necessary be regarded as a period of transition, change and readjustment. Danger in a Division, There exists a difference of opinion among those who belisve in progressive principles and pescies as to whether the success of those principles and pol- icles can best be subserved at this time by remaining in the Republican party or by joining in ths formation of a new one. The result of this campaign will have much to do with the determination of this question. And if those who stand for such principles and policies, who be- lieve that a more active and broader‘ exerciss of the powers of government and a more genuine popular rule are necessary accomplish a larger meas- ure of social and industrial justice, are not divided and embittered toward each ares OPPOSED 10 POST SYSTEM, MOVED Chief Learns They Inspired Pe- tition Signed by Carr Street District Merchants. 4 NEW PLAN A!’ SUCCESS Men Want It Abolished Because It Separates Them From Their Partners. ell The discovery by Chief Young that a petition requesting the abolition of the post system in the Carr Street District had been inspired by patrolmen who were dissatisfied with the new pian, led to a shakeup in that district. Friday. Seven patrolmen were transferred from the district to headquarters to be used as a reserve squad, and an eighth man sent to Chief Allender’s staff. The petition asking that the post sys- tem be discontinued was sent to the Board of Police Commissioners a week ago, and bore the signatures of several merchants in the Carr Street District. Chief Young was instructed to investti- gate the merits of the petition. Finds System Big Suc cess. Capt. Schoppe, after having experi- mented with the system for two months, was ready when called upon by the Chief to give his opinion of the plan, and ‘ie stated that it was not only a huge success in keeping crime at a min- imum, but that it also had rendered use- less to the district the services of eight patrolmen. Chief Young then instructed Schoppe to select the eight “least active’’ pa- trolmen of the district and sent them to headquarters. Seven men were transferred Friday. They were Patrolmen William Hill, Henry Amelung, Edward Helgoth, Dave Sharlow, Mike Bree, Hugo Borgess and Tom Canty. They were instructed to report to Acting Inspector Nolte and to be in readiness for emergency work. Their first assignment Friday was to the Carr Street District to take the places of men Who had to be in court. Capt. Schoppe has not yet selected the -man to serve on Chief Allender’s staff. There afte 13 posts in the Carr Street District. The post idea consists in the stationing of a man at a fixed place, on a corner near a police telephone. He remains there while his partner makes the rounds of the beat. In case the station receives word that a police- man is wanted at a certain place in a hurry, the operator telephones the box at the post station nearest the scene of trouble and the post policeman hastens to the scene. One policeman remains on post duty four hours, or half of his working day, and his partner takes the post for the remaining four hours. Policemen gen- erally disliked the post system, because it separated them from their partners.

» TUDGE NORTONI SHOULD RESIGN. Judge Nortoni is ill-advised in retaining his seat on the bench of the Court of Appeals while campaigning for the governorship as the candi- date of the Progressive Republican party. He must neglect either his official duties or his cam- . work. He cannot make an aggressive cam- paign, as his party associates undoubtedly ex- pect him to do, without dropping his judicial! igbors; he cannot attend to his work on the bench without disappointing the just expectations of ‘his party. Moreover, it is unseemly and improper for a Judge to engage in the strife and turmoil of a partisan campaign for political office. Precedents in which men occupying political of- campaign for other offices to which they may be nominated, such as in the cases of Gov. Wilson, Gov. Marshall and others, do not apply to fidicial offices. "Justice Hughes set an excellent example to the Judiciary when he declined to have his name con- sidered for the presidency en the ground that the jadicial office should not be associated with pdlitics, but dissociated from it. The way to itical office should not be through the judicial ber: : udge Nortoni should resign his seat on the ch or his nomination for the governorship. = i i A

Among them are social reform measures relating to labor; a State public utilities commission with full power to regulate public utility eorporations and fix rates; the enlarging of the power of cities to own and operate public utilities; liberal home rule; reform of judicial procedure and au- thorizing commission forms of government for cities. The subject touched upon of most importance to all citizens is that of taxation. Although no specific plan of reform is outlined, the taxation plank contains a sweeping pledge to revise “the revenue laws of the State sp as to insure an equit- able and nondiscriminating distribution of the burdens of government.” The convention might with wisdom have gone further and specifically indorsed the constitutional amendment of the Equitable Tax League providing for a State tax commission. This measure is wholly divorced from the single tax proposal of the league and offers a practical step towards gen- uine tax reform, The tax system of the State is chaotic. As at present operated it grossly discriminates between sections and citizens. It places heavy burdens on commerce and industry. It uses a fine’meshed net for the poor and a coarse meshe for the rich. It hits the tools andthe meager poss | of the workingman and misses the surplus wealth of the rich and the idler. The Democratic party suffers the disgrace of having through a long term of power not only refused to improve our unjust and chaotic tax, sys- tem, but of having used tax discrimination as a political asset. It is in the embarrassing position now of having a candidate for Governor who helped to maintain\ discriminating taxation and pleaded his support of injustice as a reason for his nomination. Its candidates for Secretary of State and Auditor have records marred by refusals to equalize the burdens of taxation. The party must square itself with the people. : The new party with courageous and intelligent leadership could do valuable public service by vigorously attacking evils and advocating needed reform which the old parties have refrained from touching on account of timidity or strong special influences. Missouri needs modernizing on several lines. While a vigorous campaign for reforms and ad- vanced legisiation for the benefit of all the peo- ple may not win immediate success, it will force action by any party in power and pave the way to future progress.

When modern dentistry began to make the re- placement of decayed and useless teeth possi- ble, the dental condition of thousands of per- sons was so bad that the sacrifice of most of the natural equipment of teeth was a common re- quirement, in order to make room for what have humorously been called “store teeth.” That was the unfortunate lot of generations now passing away. The young men and women of today; and especially the children, need pass tbrough no such.suffering and inconvenience. We are beginning to understand the importance of proper. care of the teeth. The Board of Education can dd6 nothing of more vital consequence to the future welfare of the school children than to give serious consider- ation to this matter. It should take full advant- age of any offers made by dentists or dental soci- eties to treat the teeth of the children by compe- tent, certified dentists. The city should estab- lish a regular clinic for this purpose, and not relax its efforts until every poor child has the opportunity to attend tbe dental clinic when- ever necessary. This would equip the coming generation of St. Louisans with increased health and strength, and very greatly add to the effi- ciency of the teaching staff, who would. be ham- pered no more by pupils under the handicap of defective teeth.

It is merely a posthumous candidacy which Mr. Taft is making.

A HOT DAY CLASSICO. There have been days of late when many a man must have asked himself if literature cuon- tained any adequate presentation of the minor horrors, the lesser calamities of a hot wave's transit through a crowded land. One man, at least, whose touch was of the lightest, tried his hand in a description of the ills and inconveni- ences of a hot day. The subject was suitable to Leigh Hunt's talent for trifles, and it may be refreshing to quote a few sentences from the lit- tle essay he entitled “Now.” The poet, Keats, was with the author when he was writing it, ‘and contributed one or two of the passages. There is an almost even division of discomforts between town and country: Now the little girl at her grandmether’s cottage door watches the coaches that go by, with her hand held up over her sunny fore- head. Now laborers look well resting in their white shirts at the doors of rural ale-houses Now an elm is fine there, with a seat under

it; and horses drink out of the trough, streteh- = 4 A é 2 a ing thelr yearning necks with loosened col- lars; and the traveler calls for his glass of ale, having been without one for more. than ten’ minutes; and hjs horse stands wino- ing at the flies, giving sharp shivers of his skin, and moving to and fro his ineffectual docked tail; and now Miss Betty Wiisen, the host's daughter, comes streaming forth in a gown and earrings, carrying with four of her beautiful fingers the foaming glass, for which, after) the traveler has drank it, she receives with an indifferent eye, look- ‘ing enother way, the lawful two-pence. When we turn to the London side of life we are greeted by sentences like these: Now the weater-cart, jumbling along the middle of the street, and jolting the showers out of its box of water, really does something. Now fruiterers’ shops and dairies’ look pleas- ant, and ices are the only things to those who can get them. * Now jockeys walking in great-coats to lose flesh, course inwardly. Now five fat people in a stage-coach hate the sixth fat one who is coming in, and think he has no right to be so large.

i i LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Wall Street in Latin-America. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A St. Louis paper asks through an editorial why Americans are so unpopular amongst the rations of the Western Hemisphere. One reason is that no matter where or by whom a revolution needs financing Wall Street stands ready to furnish the cash. In Mexico Wall Street has determined to own the railroads completely and to oust the Mexican government from its 51 per cent ownership of the railroad stocks. By crippling the roads and treasury it will succeed. Taft committed thes most gigantic blunder in the history of diplomacy when coffee stored in New York belonging to the Brazilian government was seized by the trust. busters. Brazil will re- member that for generations. In Cuba the big stick was used to collect a contractor’s debt and the Cuban side gets a scant hearing. Columbia remembers the methods used to create the State of Panama. Loans have been made at enormous interest to the various usurpers of Nicaragua and the coun- try cannot repay even a slight part of them; we therefore see American troops landing tg collect debts which this Government has declared would bo fraudulent if owed to England, France or Germany... ' Hayti and San Domingo hate all whites and for that matter they are no better than Senegam- bia. Canada has a grouch against us because the country in the West is being gobbled by American land sharks and thieving real estate agents. Fiastern Canada has fears of us from the church question and also because our big interests have cevetous eyes on their forests, mines and rail- roads. If anyone can point out a single people on earth which is closer to us than a watchful enemy I sould like to learn which it is. « Now that Americans have given away all their own Government lands, forests and minerals Big Business has an idea the same stunt can be worked in other lands. St. Louis is a good ex- ample of a town where millionaires have been created by rotten city legislators handing over that which did not belong to them. I must say that during my 25 years reading the Post-Dispatch has opposed everyone of the wrongs I mentioned here, especially in city affairs. Washington, D. C. G. H. REID.

Make Transfers Universal. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to add my complaint to the one made by “A Reader” in your issue of Sept. 4. The peo- ple living south of Chouteau and west of Grand avenues are very unjustly discriminated against in the matter of transfers. I live on Gravois avenue and if I want to go to any point on the Tower Grove, Park or Comp- ton lines west of Grand avenue, I am forced either to waste a lot of time or pay two fares. It is my opinion that the Tower Grove Improvement Association and the inhabitants of this section of the city are certainly fast asleep if they will submit any further without vigorous protest. ‘Public Service Commissioner, pleast note. JOE BONO, Teacher -Prefers Present Payments. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I rise to say that I am one teacher who would object to receiving my pay in 12 installments. Suppose my salary is $1000 a year. On the pres- ent plan that would be $125 a payment. I start in September and have all my work finished and my pay in hand by the middle of June. But on the 12 payment plan I would receive but $100 a payment (a little closer together of course) and when June 16 came the board would still have in the bank (drawing interest for them), $320 of my money which they would refuse to give me. Some of it they would keep 10 weeks before they gave it to me. No, I thank you, I°want my money when my work is done. I ‘ask no benevolent board to save my money for me at their profit and my loss. If I don’t put it In the bank I can jingle it in my purse. Some of your correspondents must have for- gotten the subject of interest which is taught on the floor above them. If not let them figure the interest value lost by them on the 12 payment plan. Let them ‘also reflect whether they are the best moral inspirations for ouf children if they are not able to save thelr own money for vacation. Had they better publicly confess it? The 10 payment plan also defers more than our present plan but might on the whole be the best, By that we would receive a payment every month beginning with October 1 and ending June 1 with an extra tenth of salary payment on the last day of school. APPLIED ARITHMETIC. Reckless Auto Drivers. Toe the Baitor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to the accident at Missouri and La- fayette avenues, where a little boy was killed, f£ think it a good time to call attenti6én to the reckless manner auto drivers have of coming out of alleys. ’ A tew weeks since I had @ narrow escape in crossing the mouth of the alley, north of the Cabanne branch library, opening on Union av- er.us, where an auto came out at a rapid speed; no horn tooted or warning of any kind. The oc- cupants did not seem to care as they scarcely looked at me. Many people keep their machines at home and the alleys are constantly used. Something should be done to atop this recklessness; in fact, the whole business of running down people and caus- ing using the streets to run to save thetr lives is outrageous CITIZEN. >

After William Jennings Bryan had courted the beautiful Mary Baird for what he considered a sufficient length of time, ths Commionner, then a strug- gling young lawyer, concluded to put the vital question to the father of the future Mrs. Bryan. William, after final- ly downing the lump in his throat, cought refuge in the scriptures. “Mr. Baird, I have been reading Prov- orbs a good deal lately,” said Mr. Bryan, “and I find that Solomon says: ‘Whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord!” Father Baird, being somewhat of a Pible scholar himself, replied: ‘Yes, i ‘helieve Solomon did say that, but Pauli suggests that, while hse that marricth doeth well, he that marrieth not doeth better.” ° . Bryan, who never has been at a loss for an answer in his spectacular, life quickly replied: “Solomon would bs the best authority upon this. point, because Paul was never married, while Solomon had a number of wives.” Whereupon Father Baird capitulated.

eT Worse Yet! ; iLTON LACKAYE, the actor, once made a dramatization of “Les Miserables.” He had spent much time on his work. The dramatization of the Hugo masterpisce had been one of the dreams of his early youth. Truly, the completed drama was to the actor as a child he dearly loved. But when Mr Lackaye tried to interest theatrical cap- ital in the production he found dearth of enthusiasm. Every one knew that Lackaye had dramatized “Les Miser. ables’’ and it was one of the live topics of Broadway. Oscar Harhmerstein met Lackaye in this particular period an‘ his first question was: “Wilton, have you got a manager to produce ‘Les Miserables?’ ”’ And to this Lackaye sarcastically re- plied: “A manager to produce it!

MAKE YOUR OWN HAIR TONIC A SPECIALIST’S ADVICE. In a recent issue, the New York Herald published a special efticle on the care of the hair, in which was given the formula for a homemade Hair Tonic. which was highly recommended for its remarkable hair-growing properties, as well for stopping falling hair, revital- izing hair roots, destroying the dan- druff germ and restoring gray heir to its natural color. This article was of special interest to me, as the formula was one which I myself have prescribed in countless cases with most astonishing resuits, I remember one case in par~- ticular in which I prescribed it for man who had been bald for many years, and in leas than two months after he began its use, his head was completely coveted with a luxuriant growth of rich, glossy hair, thus proving that hair can be made to grow on @ bald head, not- withstanding the opinion of many per- sons to the contrary.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. v.—Mrs. Arthur MacArthur, widow of Lieuten- ant-General Arthur MacArthur, who became unconscious when informed of the sudden death of her husband last night while attending a banquet of the survivors of his old regiment, the Twen- ty-fourth Wisconsin Volunteers, has re- gained consciousness and no immediate | change for the worse is expected by, physicians in- attendance. Capt. E. B. Parsons, the banquet, stroke following the shock incident to the sudden death of Gen. MacArthur, is reported to be resting comfortably at his home this forenoon. Stricken as He Speaks. Gen. MacArthur died suddenly last night following’ a stroke of apoplexy when he addressed the survivors of the | —e {filed the original suit for divorce. Twenty-fourth Wisconsin Volunteers. The occasion was the fiftieth anniver- sary of the day the regiment left Mil- waukee for the front. Gen. MacArthur had been introduced by the toastmaster, Capt. Parsons, his »« companion all through the Civil War, and had been talking only a-few minutes and was telling of the march through Georgia when suddenly he paused with the re- mark: . “Comrades, I am too weak to pra- ceed,”’ He sat down and his head fell for- ward; he was dead. Scarcely had the tragic announcement of the death been made when Capt. Parsons fell forward, also stricken with paralysis. With bowed heads and with tears streaming down their cheeks, the gray- haired veterans, led by the Rev. Paul B. Jenkins, repeated the Lord’s Prayer and the banquet. ended. Rank Dies With Him.

Twenty thousand . dollars actual damages and $10,000 “smart money” are demanded in the suit filed Friday by Mrs. Cecile Davis Foster against her former mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary A.

The “gmart money,” otherwise | known legally as punitive damages, is the petition stateb, “as a warning to others inclined to such tition, Mrs. Foster, the plaintiff in the suit, got a divorce last June in Judge A\l.- len’s court, With a $6000 alimony decree land the custody of her child.

Before her separa- ‘tion from her husband, she lived at 4650 South Broadway, the home of the elder Mrs, Foster. The South Broadway house, a spacious mansion, was known as “Castle Meyer,” after a divorced husband of the elder Mrs. Foster. In her latest suit, Mrs. Foster charges that the mother’s influence caused Foster to grow cold toward her, which brought about the separation. She asked him to take her elsewhere to live, she said, but he would not do so. LIGENSE CLERK STOPS MARRIAGE OF GIRL TO UNGLE Threatens ‘Jail!’ and Document to Hyman and Sophia ‘Teper Is Returned. Just as success seemed about to crown the efforts of Miss Sophia Teper, 5741 Easton avenue, to marry her uncle, Hy- man Teper, Marriage License Clerk Ruedi interfered Friday by demanding the return of a marriage license the cou- ple got from him Thursday afternoon. Ruedi sought the girl’s father, Louis Teper, who has a shoe shop at 1120 Tower Grove avenue. Teper, according to Ruedi, pretended at first that he could not understand. ‘Well, you’d better understand me,”’ said Ruedi, “because if you don’t return that license at once I'll have you put in jail, and if the marriage takes place be- fore you. get to the house, I will have your brother, your daughter and the officiating minister or justice taken to jail with you.” At the mention of “jail,” Ruedi said, Teper started at once for his home to get the license, Hyman Teper anda tne girl applied to Ruedi after a license had been refused them in East St. Louis. The would-be bridegroom, gave his name as Hyman Caper. The girl and her father made affidavits that she was 16 years. old and that she was not related to Hyman Teper, Ruedi said. Louis Teper told Ruedi he approved the match, said Ruedi. Mies Teper later told a reporter that she was 18 years old, but neighbors sald she is only 14 and still is in the fourth grade of school. Miss Teper said she and her uncle did not try to get a If- cense anywhere but Hast St. Louis.

Hardly a moment later, she says, her husband, Frank Smith, seized the boy and ran away. : “Daughter,” cried Mrs. Smith's e1, “hurry and get your.child.” The young mother and her sister, Mra. J F.

Mrs. Smith told a Post. tch re- porter that her husband had. three times before tried to take the child from her. but had failed. The first time, she said, was when the boy was in early infancy, and the two other attempts were mad: when she was at her parents’ home, then at 5965 Theodosia avenue, and from the Smith home at 4014A Cote Brilliante avenue, She and Smith separated Jast Priday, and she went to her sintay’s ‘home on Alaska avenue. ——— - 2 es — MEN OF | SAINT LOUIS tice’ of interfering in quarrels between | ate onl a “wens How an Mlinois Won the Prix de ‘ome |: Next Sunday Post-Dispatch |?

This was by act of Congress in March, 1907, the explanation being that the rank had no particular status. MacArthur was born on June 2, 1845, near Springfield, Mass. When he reached the age of 16 he tried to enlist in the army, but his father refused to give’ permission, but consented a year later. A few months after his en- listment MacArthur won the title of First Lieutenant. His rise was rapid, and Feb. 22, 1866, he entered the regular army. He participated in the Spanish- American War, went to the Philippines, where he was for a time Governor- General; was appointed Commander of the Department of the Lakes-on his re- turn; next was assigned to.

Mrs, Britton granted an audience to the-local sport writers en banc Thurs- day-aftertioon. After a battery of high- poWaered electric fans had been trained onthe excited propounders of baseball gossip, Mrs. Britton coolly announced herself ready to answer all questions: ‘Will Mr. Bresnahan be retained as mafiager?” was the opening shot. Bhe defendant smiled. “Of course he will,” she replied. And thdyijshe laughed. “I’ve never considersd anfone eleé for manager and I’m at a ] to know why you should be in do about the security of Mr. Bres- nakan’s position.”’ “Well, now about this Brooklyn trade?” continued the pleader for the} scmibes. “What trade ts that? 7” usked the cross exagnined. Thien the cross-examiner took a new tact, “Has Mr. J. C. Jones resigned as pres- ident?’ he demanded. M Britton suppressed a smile, much tc he chagrin of the plaintiff's _— “Not that I know of.

The thought never was entertained by me and I can truthfully say that I believe it never will. My busi- ness dealings with Mr. Bresnahan always hava, been pleasant. I regard him as a great’ baseball man—a man who should event- ually.give St. Louis a winner. “Ana that’s my ambition. I want to have a pennant-winning team and I want Mr: Bresnahan to manage that team.

JI realize that the fans have taken sides in this so-called controversy between Mr. Bresnahan aiid my- self. But the. truth is there was and is no controversy and I hope the fans will forget it. If you could be around our office here you soon would realize that we all are working harmoniously. And then to hear of sO many petty squabbles is really annoying. *“‘Mr. Bresnahan is a hard worker and I know it. I appreciate his efforts in catch- ing the young pitchers from now until the season's close. In that way he should know what the young players really amount to before the training trip begins next season. I also approved of Mr. Wingo doing the bulk of the catching this season. He’s a won- derful young player and should do even better next year. ‘But I have a hard time getting to know people. I would like to know all the players —know them so that they would be willing to speak to me, to come into this office—also to know the fans and the newspaper men’’ (much shuffling of feet) ‘‘better than I do. But it’s a hard task: However, I’m ambi- tious to have a winning club And, mark my word, I will.’’ Mrs. Britton volunteered to answer any further questions, but the complainants had none to ask. .

AT LAST A LIVE ONE. S the season nears an end it is gratifying to note that at least three baseball improvements in the interest of the-fans, advocated for two seasons in this column, have been taken up by at least one club. They are: 2. The announcement, after each play. of the umpire’s official 3.

DIFFERENT MEANS TO AN END. T is not mere knowledge that makes a leader or a teacher. It's the com- bined faculties of making oneself under- stood and of getting the men to execute their knowledge in the best ahd heartiest spirit. Leaders come in all sorts of packages, from the calm, dispassionate Connie Mack type to the snorting, rampant, furioso brand, like the Bresnahan school. But both get results by knowing what to teach, when to teach and how to get the pupils to emvloy their knowledge. One persuades, the other practically forces, Both arrive. Negative quantities like Davis fall short in one or the other Tespects. NOT MUCH IN IT.

He was besieged by reporters, Pirkerton detectives and others inter- ested in hearing his explanation of the mystery surrounding the death by drowning of his client, Mrs. Rusina Manschik Szabo on Juiy 17 last, when he was out with her in a boat on Green- wood Lake. The lawyer had nothing to say at first. Then he read the morning papers and seemed much interested in what he found there concerning himself and the deaths of two of his clients and the disappearance of a third, all under mys- terious circumstances, in the last six years. When Gibson had digested all this he became very much agitated. In answer to the question of reporters, he said: Insists Woman Is Alive, ‘T shall reply to these charges when vo

I have read the affidavits submitted to the perjury alleged side, all I care to say, gone into at the inquest, and wh was discharged by Justice Blanchard of the Supreme Court after I had sued out a writ of habeas corpus, following my unlawful arrest by the Coroner. may have something more to say later, but not today.” Declares Death Is Proved. “If Mrs. Menschik is produced it will be in the form of a skeleton,” said Mr. Kremer, counsel for the Austrian Con- sul. ““We have absolute confirmation now of her death in February, 1910, and one of her sons will be here when the case comes before Surrogate Fowler on Sept. 17, ready to testify not only to her death, ‘but to the fact that Mrs. Szabo knew of it.” ‘‘Then, how is it explainable that Mrs. Szabo signed a will making her mother her sole legatee?”’’ was asked. “Very simple,” was the reply of the “Mrs. Szabo, we will prove, could not read English, therefore it is quite probable she did not know contents of the paper she was signing.” ‘‘We do not expect to make rest immediately,” the sul’s lawyer added. ‘There is deal of investigation work to before such action will be tak when the proper time comes
