FINLEY of. SHEPARD... ~~ * tin REV. ORAWLEE ESCAPES PAYING INHERITANCE TAX St. John’s Pastor Contends That $11,000 Left Him by Cupples Is Used for Benevolence. Probate Judge Holtcamp Monday de- cided that a legacy of $11,179 from Sam- uel Cupples to the Rev. Dr. James W. Lge, pastor of St. John’s Methodist Church, was not taxable under the col- lateral inheritance tax. The Rev. Dr. Lee opposed the ‘assess- ment on the ground that he was a min- ister, actively engaged in religious work, and that the. money was used to defray the expenses of the education of his children, making it a bequest for re- ligious and educational purposes. In making an inventory of the Cup- ples estate, the aprpaisers found a note for $22,013.18, signed by the Rev. Dr. Lee. The note was secured by a life insurance policy for $20,000. Cupples in his will provided that the difference between the value of the policy and the amount of the debt should be “forgiv~ en,’’ making the difference a bequect to the minister. H. A. Baker, the appraiser, fixed the value of the policy at. $12,079.23, which, counting off some interest charges, left a difference of $11,179, which, he held, was the amount of the hequest to the minister. On’ this -the collateral ‘in- heritance tax was assessed. The Rev. Dr. Lee protested against the tax. In his petition he alleged that any bequest to a minister_actively engaged in religious work was a bequest for religious purposes, and was exempt. His attorney, Thomas L. Anderson, in his argument showed; that thg mun- ister had borrowed the money for the education of his children, and that the purpose made it a bequest for educa- tional purposes, which is exempted by the statute. Judge Holtcamp sustained the con- tention of the minister without | filing & memorandum of his reasons. KILLED BY FALL OFF CAR John O'Meara of Virden, Ill, on his way to St. Louis to visit his wife and son, fell from an interurban car near Virden Monday and was crushed under the wheels.

I'M Woßth's LUCKIBST MAN. SAYS MISS GOULD’S FIAN

Finley J. Shepard, St.Louis Offic cial of Missouri Pacific, Praises Philanthropist, His Bride-to Be, for “Transcendent Goodness,”

Finley J. Shepard, assistant to the president of the Missouri Pacific Rall- road, whose engagement to marry Miss Helen Miller Gould, miHionaire daugh- ter of the late Jay Gould, has been 1n- nounced in New York by George Goul1, wrapped a red and white flowered dressing gown about him in his room at the Jefferson Hotel Monday and said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “I myself can scarcely believe it is true. I consider myself the - lucki4st mah in the world to have been chosen by a woman of such marvelous and, transcendent goodness.”’ Asked when the wedding would take place Shepard said: “I cannot tell you that. In fact I might say that I do not know, as those arrangements are being made in the East. [I shall prob- ably go to New York soon, but I can- not say just when.” Declines to Discuss Courtship. As to his meeting with Miss Gould gnd his courtship he would only say that he met her last spring when she was here inspecting the railroad Y. M. C. A. and that since then he had frequently visited her in New York. As to the exact time when he and Miss Gould became engaged he said: ~@f do not know that any specific date could that we have had a perfect understand- ing for some time. “Tf you ask me what attracted me to Miss Gould I would say it was her won- cerful goodness of heart and mind. She is so genuine, so inherently and natural- ly good.” Shepard is 45 years old and Miss Gould is 44. A suppose most persons thought Miss Gould would remain a bachelor woman all her life,” said Shepard. ‘“Well, I al- ways thought I would remain single, too, _ & strange things happen in this wor’ don’t they?” § Dard in his comparatively short period of railroad dervice in St. Louts has not been conspicuous as a clubman or bachelor entertainer. Among his fellow railroad men he has been known as @ man who wore neat and correct garments. On the walls oF Shepard’s hotel room are many pictures, among them snap- rhots and portraits which he. himself made, but there is no — of Miss Gould, “T have never had a — of her,” said Shepard. “In that respect, vou know, she is moat diffident.” The door of a wardrobe closet in Shepard's room stood open. It revealed about two dozen stits of clothes neatly pressed and hanging on a rack.

OWEN, IN COURT 10 TESTIFY Se ott and Other G. O. P. Leaders Asked to Pay More to Politician for Work. Gov. Hadley came to St. Louis from Jefferson City Monday to testify in his own behalf in a suit filed by John B. Owen, a Republican politician, for sal- ary alleged to be due him for services in l election contests. The'Republican State Committee, with several Republican members of the Sup me Court, are co- defendants with . Hadley. Owen was os by the Republican State Committee to gather evidence for various contests. The committee paid him $50 a week, but he alleges it agreed to pay him $100 a week. He claims about $1100 is due him. “Following his dispute with the com- mittee as to what was due him, Owen filed suit against everybody in sight,” said Gov. Hadley to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, at the Jefferson Hotel. “T had nothing to do with the matter. Helden P. Spencer, attorney for the State Committee at the time the con- tests were instituted, and Charles D. Morris, then chairman, said that Owen’s salary was to be $50 a week.’’ Spencer is attorney for Gov. and the other defendants. The case was called in Judge Fisher’s court and the selection of a jury was com- pleted by ll o’clock, The panel consisted of seven Republicans, two Democriats, two independent voters and one Pro- gressive. Among the notable persons in the courtroom were T. K. Niedringhaus, Judges Kennish and Brown of the Mis- souri Supreme Court and Charles Mor- rig of St. Joseph, formerly chairman of the State Republican Committee. Owen on the Stand, Owen was the first witness. He tes- tified that he had been a resident of St. Louis 4 years, actively interested in politics 25 years and Republican City Committeeman from his ward 18 con- secutive years.

Hadley Dec, 5, 1910, was told what the com- inittee wanted done and instructed to re- port to Spencer,’ which he did the fol- lowing day. He worked from then until the following May, he asserted.

Highteen men, two of whom will be held as principals and the others as witnesses, were arrested, Sunday after- noon by the gambling squad, composed of Detective Wells and Special Officers Breen, Brennan and Fleming, in a raid on Michael Walsh’s pool and billiard establishment at 1229 Benton street. The men booked on a charge of con- ducting a gambling game are John Walsh, a son of the proprietor and liv- ing with his father at 1451 Warren street, and Thomas Kennedy of 141A St. Louis avenue. Wells told a reporter he had heard rumors of open gambling at Walsh's place, but was astonished, when h@ got there, at the apparent confidence of the proprietors. There was no lookout on duty and he and his three men walked upstairs without being questioned, he; said. r Eighteen Around Craps Layout. In a front-room on the second floor, Wells said, the 18 men were standing around a billiard table on which a “craps field” had been laid. Young Walsh appeared to be conducting the game. After watching the play for sev- eral minutes, Wells arrested the men. A group of men playing cards at a ta- ble nearby were not taken, for fear con- fusion would result, Wells said. From the table the detectives took four sets of dice, a dice cup and $23 in Under the table they picked up many change Ww appers bearing the name of a Nort Louis bank.

EASTON, Pa., Dec. 16..—When Mr. and Mrs. Edward Renseimer were inférmed that their daughter is accused of shont- ing Walter Mumm in Paris, they said it was the first time they had ever heard of Mumm, although their daugh- ter has corresponded with them regular- ly. On Friday last they received a let- ter from her dated “Cariton Hotel, Pall Mall, London, Dec. 3," in which she wrote: “I am here for a few days and about to return to Paris by motor. Just had a quarrel with my boy. Sometimes he acts like an old man. I wonder if I will ever return to the States. Maybe not, maybe in a month or tWo.” ““My boy,’” said Renseimer, “is the way Mary Jane referred to her hus- band.”’ In the quiet Bucks County village, where the Renseimers live, everyone knew “Mary Jane.’ , “She was a queer girl,”” say the young- er folk. She went to school until she was nearly 16. Long before that she had toi her parents that she was going to “see the world,’”’ Before she ended her school days she went to Avon and took the first position she could get, waitress in a hotel. Then she went |. across the Delaware and worked in a Phillipisburg, N. J., hotel. Met Harry Davis Barnes. In the course of time she met Ha Davis the Barnes affair, the paréhtg only “What Mary Jane told — She was dividing her tim⸗ handsomely furnished house in West Seventy-Fifth street, New York; and a summer home at Oakhurst, N. J. “And yet,” said the mother, ‘Mary Jane discovered at the last minute that her marriage papers were bogus. But she has a handsome yearly allowance.” Clever, and realizing her shortcomings aS a country girl, “Mary Jane’’ em- ployed private tutors, was an apt pupil and advanced rapidly in the ways of the world of her adoption. Her gowns were a sensation and her “home” visits to Riegelsville furnished a topic for weeks. Once, when Mary was less than 18, a fashionable modiste from New York sued her for $1600 for a gown... She en- tered the defense that she was a minor, and her mother and the physician who was present at her birth went to New York and testified in her behalf. The next the Renseimers knew of her, they said, she was the wife of George H. Creel, a millionaire Chilean. In all her travels she never forgot her parents, and their home bears ample testimony to her generosity. On the walls are photographs of the country girl who is reputed to have captivated the heart of more than one millionaire in America and Europe, and the parents point to that with loving pride. “Mary Jane was pretty and ‘smart,”’ they say, and we knew she would get along. She has $176,000 worth of dia- monds and an enormous income.”’ Her father is a Civil War veteran and is retired on a pension. Two of their sons live in Philadelphia. They are Howard Renseimer, who manages a bath establishment on Walnut Street, and Grover Cleveland Renseimer, who mar- ried a daughter of Dr. Purse of North Fifteenth street. o~ MUMM DENIES HE SHOT MRS. BARNES By Associated Press. PARIS, Dec. 16~—The efforts of the police .to locate either “Mrs. Mary Barnas” or her servants, the only ac- tual witnesses of the shooting Thurs- day night of Walter Mumm, a well- known sportsman, thus far have be fruitless, and the affair remains more or less a mystery. Mumm was shot when in the woman’s home, Mumm, in the interrogation by Magis- trate Bouchard, at the hospital, strong- ly protested against that version of the shooting which said he struck “Mrs. Barnes” before she fired. “Tl was very fond of Mrs. Barnes,’’ said Mumm to the Magistrate, “but I think she was even fonder of me. My family, however, made me understand that the situation between us could not continue. Mrs. Barnes was separated from her husband, not divorced, and could aot be my wife. ‘In view of our possible separation, I tried to prepare my friend. Wednes- day we took supper at a restaurant in the Rue Royale. The evening passed gaily, champaigne flowed, perhaps a lit- and when we returned tired and enervated to Mrs. Bafnes’ home in the Rue Belles Ferrilles, dawn clready was breaking. “THen we began a dispute. I repeated to her that our love could not last for- ever. Mrs. Barnes, who, up to this time, had not been much moved by the prospect of our parting, then had a cry- ing fit, which was followed by an out- burst of fury. “] Was Bretal, That’s Ali.” “*ah, it won't last forever? We will” see about that! she screamed, and be fore I could interfere, she snatched up @ little revolver and fired at me.” Bouchard here interrupted Mumm: “Didn't you yourself fire the first shot?

EVIDENCE TO BE HEARD Board: of. Education Contends City Cannot Dictate What _ Plumbing It Shall Use. The Board of Education won a point Monday in its injunction suit to restrain the city from interfering with plans for the instalfation of a certain plumbing system in public schools, ths Horace} Mann School in particular. Judge Grimm, for the second time, overruled a demurrer to the board’s petition for an injunction. The board has adopted the continuous vent systerm of plumbing, although the city code requires ths individual vent system. The board’s petition was filed April ll, and a few days later the city entered its demurrer on the ground that no cause of action was stated in the pe- tition. Judgs Grimm overruled the de- murrer, and granted a temporary in- junction May 20, but Nov. 15 set aside the order against the demurer. In sustaining the board and relssuing the order, Judge Grimm puts upon the city the necessity of pleading, and ths case will now be heard on its merits. The board contends that the city, through the Supervisor of Plumbing and the .Building Commissioner, has no au- thority in law to inspect the pvyblic school buildings, and decide what plumb- ing system shall bs used, or how the buildings shall be equipped in other re- 1g system adopted, it de- prior to that required by bers of the board expect the present case to have * Dearing upon litigation be- Building Commisioner McKel- fey to force the installation of fire es- capes on school buildings where or- dered. ‘ CONDUCTOR’S HEAD HITS STEEL BRACE ON BRIDGE He Leans From Platform at Kirkwood—Skull Is Frac- tured, but Recovery Is Expected. I. E. George, conductor of a Ferguson- Kirkwood car, suffered a fractured skull Sunday night when he leaned from his car when it was crossing the Rock Is- land bridge at Kirkwood. His head struck a steel brace. He was thrown back upon the platform of the car, The motorman ran his car into Clay- ton without stopping for passengers. George was treated at a drug store and then sent to the Hodiamont sheds in a car and later to the Missouri Bap- tist Sanitarium.

Hadley came to St. Louis from Jefferson City Monday to testify in his own behalf in a suit filed by John B. Owen, a Republican politician, for sal- ary alleged to be due him for services in election contests. TheRepublican State Committee, with several Republican members of the Supreme Court, are co- defendants with Gov. Hadley. Owen was employed by the Republican State Committee to gather evidence for various contests. The committee paid him $50 a week, but he alleges it agreed to pay him $100 a week. He claims about $1100 is due him. “Following his dispute with the com- mittee as to what was due him, Owen filed suit against everybody in sight,” said Gov. Hadley to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, at the Jefferson Hotel. “T had nothing to do with the matter. Nelden P. Spencer, attorney for the State Committee at the time the con- tests were instituted, and Charles D. Morris, then chairman, said that Owen’s salary was to be $50 a week.’’ Spencer is attorney for Gov. and the other defendants. The case was called in Judge Fisher’s court and the selection of a jury was com- pleted by ll o'clock, The panel consisted of seven Republicans, two Democriats, two independent voters and one Pro- gressive. Among the notable persons in the courtroom were T. K. Niedringhaus, Judges Kennish and Brown of the Mis- sourl Supreme Court and Charles Mor- ris of St. Joseph, formerly chairman of the State Republican Committee. Owen on the Stand, Owen was the first witness. He tes- tified that he had been a resident of St. Louis 48 years, actively interested in politics 25 years and Republican City Committeeman from his ward 18 con- secutive years. He said he had been employed as an expert in many election contests. In the fall of 1910, he testified, Jesse Tolerton, State Game Warden and Fish Commissioner, spoke to him about doing, the work for which he now is trying to collect additional pay.

Righteen men, two of whom will be held as principals and the others as witnesses, were arrested, Sunday after- noon by the gambling squad, composed of Detective Wells and Special Officers Breen, Brennan and Fleming, in a raid on Michael Walsh’s pool and billiard establishment at 1229 Benton street. The men booked on a charge of con- ducting a gambling game are John Walsh, a son of the proprietor and liv- ing with his father at 1451 Warren street, and Thomas Kennedy of 141A St. Louis avenue. Wells told a reporter he had heard rumors of open gambling at Walsh's place, but was astonished, when h@ got there, at the apparent confidence of the proprietors. There was no lookout on duty and he and his three men walked upstairs without being questioned, he eaid. ” Eighteen Around Craps Layout. In a front room on the second floor, Wells said, the 18 men were standing around a billiard table on which a “craps field” had been laid. Young Walsh appeared to be conducting the game. After watching the play for sev- eral minutes, Wells arrested the men. A group of men playing cards at a ta- ble nearby were not taken, for fear con- fusion would result, Wells said. From the table the detectives took four sets of dice, a dice cup and $23 in change. Under the table they picked up many change wrappers bearing the name of a North St. Louis bank. Hearing of the raid, Michael Walsh ran upstairs, Wells said, and wanted to know what it was all about. When in- formed that- a craps game was being raided, he replied, “It isn't a craps game,"’ according to ..Wells. Were an Innocent Lot. “Well, take three of the men and let the others go,’’ Walsh said to me, and when I asked him the reason for that he replied, ‘““They are an innocent lot of young men,” said Wells. “When jl told him I was going to take all of the men, he shouted ‘You go that far and I'll get even with you!’ While the men’s names were being taken at the North Market Street Station, Kennedy, in some mysterious manner, got out of the station and waiked away. Breen had to run three blocks to catch him. I can’t understand how he got away, as policemen were standing there and should have been guarding the door while we were busy with the prisoners.” Wells presented his evidence to As- sistant Circuit Attorney Rosskopf an’ said an investigation as to how Ken- nedy got away from the police statis» would be made, G.

Of the Barnes affair, the parehts knew oniy “‘What Mary Jane told us.” She was dividing her time between a handsomely furnished house in West Seventy-Fifth street, New York; and a summer home at Oakhurst, N. J. “And yet,” said the mother, "Mary Jane discovered at the last minute that her marriage papers were bogus, But she has a handsome yearly allowance.” Clever, and realizing her shortcomings aS a country girl, “Mary Jane’ em- ployed private tutors, was an apt pupil and advanced rapidly in the ways of the world of her adoption. Her gowns were a sensation and her “home” visits to Riegelsville furnished a topic for weeks. Once, when Mary was less than 18, a fashionable modiste from New York sued her for $1600 for a gown. She en- tered the defense that she was a minor, and her mother and the physician who was present at her birth went to New York and testified in her behalf. The next the Renseimers knew of her, they said, she was the wife of George H. Creel, a millionaire Chilean. In all her travels she ‘never forgot her parents, and their home bears ample testimony to her generosity. On the walls are photographs of the country girl who is reputed to have captivated the heart of more than one millionaire in America and Europe, and the parents point to that with loving pride. “‘Mary Jane was pretty and ‘smart,”’ they say, ‘“‘and we knew she would get along. She has $176,000 worth of dia- monds and an enormous income.”’ Her father is a Civil War veteran and is retired on a pension. Two of their sons live in Philadelphia. They are Howard Renseimer, who manages a bath establishment on Walnut Street, and Grover Cleveland Renseimer, who mar- ried a daughter of Dr. Purse of North Fifteenth street. MUMM DENIES HE SHOT MRS. BARNES By Associated Press. PARIS, Dec. 16.—The efforts. of the police to locate either “Mrs. Mary Barnas” or her servants, the only ac- tual witnesses of the shooting Thurs- day night of Walter Mumm, a — * known sportsman, thus far have fruitless, and the affair remains more or less a mystery. Mumm was shot when in the woman's home, Mumm, in the Interrogation by Magis- trate Bouchard, at the hospital, strong- ly protested against that version of the shooting which said he struck “Mrs. Barnes” before she fired. “Tl was very fond of Mrs. Barnes,”’ said Mumm to the Magistrate, “but I think she was even fonder of me. My family, however, made me understand that the situation between us could not continue. Mrs. Barnes was separated from her husband, not divorced, and could not be my wife. ‘In view of our possible separation, I tried to prepare my friend. Wednes- day we took supper at a restaurant in the Rue Royale. The evening passed gaily, champaigne flowed, perhaps a lit- and when we returned tired and enervated to Mrs. Bafnes’ home in the Rue Belles Ferrilles, dawn clready was breaking. “Ten we began a dispute. I repeated to her that our love could not last for- ever. Mrs. Barnes, who, up to this time, had not been much moved by the prospect of our partizig, then had a ery- ing fit, which was followed by an out- burst of fury. “I Was Bratal, That’s All.” “‘ah, it won't last forever? We will see about that!’ she screamed, and be. fore I could interfere, she snatched up j- a little revolver and fired at me.” Bouchard here interrupted Mumm: ia Deca 16, 1912, — ee MINS A PONT I FIGHT AGAINST CTY Judge Again Overrules Demur- rer to Petition for Injunction in Plumbing Case. EVIDENCE TO BE HEARD Board. of. Education Contends City Cannot Dictate What _ Plumbing It Shall Use. The Board of Education won a point Monday in its injunction suit to restrain the city from interfering with plans for the instalfation of a certain plumbing system in public schools, ths Horace Mann School in particular. Judge Grimm, for the second time, overruled a demurrer to the boarg’s petition for an injunction. The board has adopted the continuous vent systera of plumbing, although the city code requires ths individual vent system. The board’s petition was filed April 11, and a few days later the city entered its demurrer on the ground,that no cause of action was stated in the pe- tition. Judgs Grimm overruled the de- murrer, and granted a temporary in- junction May 20, but Nov. 15 set aside the order against the demurer. In sustaining the board and reissuing the order, Judge Grimm puts upon the city the necessity of pleading, and ths case will now be heard on its merits. The board contends that the city, through the Supervisor of Plumbing and the ._Building Commissioner, has no au- thority in law to inspect the pvyblic school buildings, and decide what plumb- ing system shall bs used, or how the buildings shall be equipped in other re- spects. The plumbing system adopted, it de- clares, is superior to that required by the city: Members of the board expect the outcome of the present case to have an important bearing upon litigation be- gun by Building Commisioner McKel- vey to force the installation of fire es- capes on school buildings where or- dered. ‘ CONDUCTOR’S HEAD HITS STEEL BRACE ON BRIDGE He Leans From Platform at Kirkwood—Skull Is Frac- tured, but Recovery Is Expected. I. B. George, conductor of a Ferguson- Kirkwood car, suffered a fractured skull Sunday night when he leaned from his ear when it was crossing the Rock Is- land bridge at Kirkwood. His head struck a steel brace. He was thrown back upon the platform of the car, The motorman ran his car into Clay- ton without stopping for passengers. George was treated at a drug store and then sent to the Hodiamont sheds in a car and later to the Missouri Bap- tist Sanitarium. Physicians said they believed he would escape concussion of the brain and that they expected him to recover, CAUSE OF THE GRIPPE How to Escape Its Dangerous After Effects With so much grippe prevalent this winter a few words of advice regarding its cause and treatment will not be out of place. Grippe is an infectious disease easily taken when the system is in a tired or run-down condition. The best means of prevention are to keep the blood in good healthy condition, and if the system gets into a weak, run-down condition, take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. A lady from Long Branch, N. J., says: ‘“Grippe left me in a ner- yous, weakened, run-down condition. After taking three bottles of Vinol I am better and stronger than 1 have been for years, and I cheerful- | ly recommend Vinol to all who have : suffered from the grippe and need strength.” (Name furnished on re- quest. ) We have never sold in our store such a valuable strength creator and health restorer for the convalescent, the weak and run-down as Vinol, and your money will be returred if it does not do all we claim for it, Chester Kent & Co., Chemists.

MArs. Lilian F. Gallacher's prayer for a d*vorce from Martin J. Gallagher. The case was tried several weeks ago. She | charged nonsupport and indignities. Gal- lagher resisted the suit and expressed a desire to effect a reconciliation. Judge Barth, after questioning the couple in chambers and hearing Mrs. Gallagher state she did not wish to make up, took } the case under advisement. In refusing the decree, Judge Barth stated that while the defendant had failed to contribute amply to his wife's support, he had contributed in a modest Way and had shown a disposition to do what he co@id for her. On the other hand, the Judge stated, Mrs. Gallagher had failed to put her shusband to a prop- er test’ of refusing to support her as he should. The Gallaghers were married in April, 1910/and lived together until the fol- lowing Christmas, when Mrs. Gallagher returned to her parents. She is the daughter of Jacob Maurer, a wealthy

Each Passage— Monopolizes Trade. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. i6.—When Pres- {dent Taft put his signature to the act ranting free passage through the Pana- ma Canal for American vessels engaged in coastwise trade and authorizing the ‘President to fix the rate of tolls for all other classes of navigation through the eanal, victory for the first time came to those powerful shipping and ship- building interests which have been fight- ing for more than half a century for a ship subsidy. A careful inquiry by the Post-Dispatch as to who will be the beneficiaries of what has been cflied the American Gov- ernment’s repudiation of the Hay- Fauncefote treaty. commonly known as the Panama Canal treaty, showed con- clusively that while at the opening of the canal virtually only one company ithe most powerful of all the compa- n‘es engaged in coastwise trade) would receive any benefits by virtue of coast- wise trade vessels being exempt from the payment of tolls, 2 years would see the advocates of ship subsidy enjoy- ing almost as full a subsidy as though Congress had passed an out-and-out ship;subsidy measure. Memopers of the @resent administration make the asser- ‘fon that in 20 years the American. Gov- ernment will be granting to all Ameri- can vessels engaged in any legitimate ragivation fres passage through the ca- nal, and that the country will have the fullest of ship subsidies. Tatt Was Opposed to Subfiiay. It is not known how President Taft stands regarding a complete ship sub- sidy. But it is known that, while he signed the bill giving a limited subsidy, he was opposed to that clause and signed the bill because of other features In the measure which he had been ad- vocating; for instance, the provision for civil government for the canal. | Prof. Emory R. Johnson, the special commissioner named by President Taft to investigate and report to him as to the approximate amount of business the canal..might be expected to do in 16 years, makes the assertion that even with the levying of a toll of $1.50 a:net ton (the toll to be charged all other Vessels engaged in transportation) the coastwise trade through the canal would double in 15 years. He estimated that the average net tonnage for the open- ing year of the canal would amount to 1,000,000 tons, and in two years would amount to 2,000,000 net tons. Prof. John- son says there is no question but that the tounage of coastwise trade will treble in 15 years if no tolls are charged for this class of navigation through the canal, - Great Interests Sought Free Tolls. The powerful interests behind the fight for free pagsage of coastwise fraffic were the' big shipyards, such as the Bath Iron Works of Bath, Me.; Fore River Ship Building Co. of Quincy, Mass.: New York Shipbuilding Co. of Camden, N. J.; Crescent4or Lewis Nix- on) shipyard of Staten Island; Gas En- gine and Power Co. of Morris Heights, N. Y¥.; Maryland Steel Co. of Sparrows Point, Md.; Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. of Newport News, Va.: Neafre & Levy of Philadelphia; William R. Trigg Company of Richmond, Va.; Harlan & Hollingsworth Co. of Wilmington, Del.; John Roach & Sons of Chester, Pa.; William Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia; Moran Bros. Of Seattle, Wash.; Union Iron Works of San Francisco; Lawley & Sons of South Boston, Mass.; Herreshof Manufacturing Co. of Bristol, R. 1; Seattle Construc- tion and Dry Dock Co. There were numerous other yards, too, whose influ- ence was felt. Many steamship companies exerted tn- fluence in behalf of no tolls for coast- wise traffic, The biggest and most in- ffiiential of these was the American- Hawaiian Steamship Co. a corpora- tion of New Jersey with offices at No. 8 Bridge street, New York City.

GRIZZLY BEAR APPEARS Constable on the Scene, Warn- ing Placards on Wall All Unavailing. The turkey trot, the tango and the grizzly bear broke into Belleville early Sunday morning and caused a riot. The ball-of the Foresters’ Social Club wound up with a genera] head-punching and shin-kicking soiree. The Foresters’ Social Club, which is an euxiliary to the Modern Woodmen, was not. to blame. Every precaution: was taken against. the turkey and the grizzly. Placards were posted about | Liederkranz Hall informing everybody that the trot, the hug and the tango were taboo, and that-anyone who at- tempted to introduce any fandango business would be put out.. The Floor Committee admonished all the dancers that none of the tobasco stuff would be tdlerated. Constable Ben Lautzg was employed to bring the majesty of the law to bear. . Lautz confessed that he was not up on the new dances, but the understanding was that the Floor Committee would tell him if the hug or the trot appeared. Strange Movement “een. ' Well along toward daylight two couples started something. that looked to Lautg like a combination. of the hug, the trot, the tango and others. He asked the floor committeemen if that was it and they told him it was ‘and ordered him to stop it at any cost. ; : He pried the dancers apart and or- flered them to leave. ‘The: men went. away but the young women, Misses Katie and Lizzie Fournie, encouraged by other’ ’dancers, refused. Lautz started to put them out and the bat- tle was on. Lautz says it seemed to him half of the 400 guests were in the melee, striking and scratching and kicking. A riot call was sent to the police sta- tion and the reserves, consisting of Po- iceman Thomas Wade, turned out. When Wade reached the hall Lautz was still trying to put the two young women out and the guests,were trying to set- tle the turkey trot question by catch-as- catch-can and fiu jitsu. Girls Are Locked Up. In the midst of the melee Lautz ani Wade smuggled the Misses'Fournie out the back way and took them to the fued until a man was knocked down at the head of the stairs and s*verai fell over him and rolled down.. the’ steps. Yookeu after and the ball breke up. No “The Misses Fournie were locked up and were still behind the bars Monday. They are to be tried Thursday on the charge Monday morning and was fined $3 by Justice Wangelin on the charge of dis- turbing the peace. Leroy Graf and Wal- ter Klein, who are alleged to have taken part in the fight, are locked up. Their tridis have been set for Wednesday. It is said that other arrests will be made. HOLDS WATCH ON WIFE | HE URGES TO ELOPE Gives Her Two Minutes, as Train Is Ready She Goes—Husband ‘Wants Children Only. Albert A. Buff, a Madison (Ill.) iron molder, Monday asked Police Chief Young to intercept his wife and two small children, who, he believed, had gone to Jefferson City with a man whe formerly boarded at the Buff home at Moberly, Mo. Buff said that after obtaining employ- ment at Madison he sent for his wife, who was to have arrived in St. Louis with her motber, Mrs. Mamie McCart, Sunday. When he went to Union Station, he said, Mrs. McCart said that after ar- riving in St. Louls Mrs. Buff was met by the former boarder, who took out his watch and told her he would give her two minutes to board a Missouri Pacific train with him..- A few minutes later, Mrs. McCart said, Mrs, Buff and the former boarder departed from St. Louis together, say- ing they would go to Los Angeles and stop at Jefferson City on the way.

I know that my retirement will make no ‘difference in ite cardinal principles, that it will always fight for progress and réform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, al- ways fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privi- leged classes and public plundercrs, never lack sympathy with the poor, always re- mcin devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, al ways be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by preda tory plutocracy or predatory poverty. April 10, 1907. JOSEPH PULITZER. 4 MAKE IT A GREAT RIGHT WAY. The western approach to the Eads Bridge, which heretofore has had much of the appear- ance of a gangway in a stockyard, is to be improved. A passenger ‘station ‘is to be built there for the accommodation of the thousands who use the trolley line. On the bridge itself, comfortable seats are to be placed at intervals for pedestrians. An elaborate system of electric lights is to fllumine the bridge. The entire Eads structure is to be converted into an interstate Great White Way, we are told. The change which these improvements seem te mark in the attitude of the management of the historic bridge toward the public is not with- out encouragement. Why not go farther and Wake a 5-cent fare to East St. Louis possible? Why not remove all unjust burdens and charges on all traffic? In making it a Great White Way, why not make it a Great Right Way: ha diy ii. i te The Balkan War is over so far as Turkey and the allied states are concerned, Nothing but the greed of the old gray rulers of Europe will prevent a prompt peace settlement. = = a. a ee ALLOWING FOR THE VICISSITUDES. Gov.-elect William. Sulzer of New York believes *that the name of a live public man should not be attached to a social or political organization, and im responding to a request for the use of his name by an inchoate club, he says, among other things: “No one can tell what a man ~:~ do from day to day and until he is dead his reputation is never safe.” We may add that there is: always good reason to fear for a man who has societies, associations, movements or parties named aft»or him. Reputa- tion, when it is stereotyped or labeled in that fashion, is too likely, in the language of a poet, to lull the fever of his soul and make him fee) that he has grasped an immortality. He thinketh he standeth, and he becomes topheavy and addicted to the use of the personal pronoun ané the mir- ror and the camera and the press agent and the clipping bureau and various other evils of weak- ness and futility, and he falls. Or he becomes infallible and falls. «© | The Hon. Sulzer, however, evidently had in mind the dangers and distinctions which Mrs. Jameson in her Essays so admirably described: “Reputation, being essentially contemporaneous, ig always at the mercy of the Envious or the Ignorant, But Fame, whose very birth is post- humous, and which is only known to cxist by the echo of its footsteps through cong« ial minds, can neither be increased nor diminished by any degree of willfulness.”’ _ There will be plenty of time in future to name _ ehibs, societies, parties and cigars after Mr. -Sul-{1,. ‘ger if he proves worthy and attains the pole of oo his larger ambitions. Meanwhile let us reflect] upon the sickness of the geographical society which prematurely christened itself after Dr. Cook. ‘Assisted by mild weather, the women of Phil- adelphia did more unscrambling on the Beg Trust in two weeks than the Government has done in the entire history of the Sherman act. If they start on the Butter Trust much of that 6,000 tons of butter withheld in storage from the consumer must come into the market with rélief in prices. = = " _——_ = J = = — A CLEAN START FOR A CAREER. The other day a young Westerner without visible means of. support was arrested on a false ' @harge of begging in New York. To the mag: istrate he made the following explanation of his situation, which is set forth for the encourage- ment of ambitious young men without means, as well as for its human interest value: When I arrived in New York I had $46, a a pew overcoat and plenty of good clothes, I thought it would be easy to get a job and I " ‘went out to see something of thé city, I went Pe, to the Metropolitan Opera House and several : - theaters. Then my money gave out. I pawned y overcoat. Then I pawned all the clothes I except the ones I am wearing. Today I found myself without a cent, but I _ got a job at $16 a week as a shipping clerk. | J was to go to work tomorrow morning at 8 clock, but knew I could not make good if I had no sleep and stayed on the streets in the cold weather. That's the reason I approached this policeman. It ig a pleasure to commend Magistrate O’Con- ‘ner’s sympathetic disposition of the young man’s case. Said he: “I perceive you were not beg- ging as charged, and I believe your story.

Every political leader who has expressed an opinion indorses it. With such unanimity in all parties there should be no difficulty in getting a sound municipal pri- mary law in ample time for the spring campaign. With an emergency clause we can have the new law operative in February, so that the tickets may be named by the voters under it early enough to give the independent voters a chance tc come into the field should conditions make independent nominations desirable. Perhaps in the fresh enthusiasm of party poli- ticlans and party organs for the rule of the peo- ple we may get much needed amendments in the general primary and election laws. We may even get penal clauses and other safeguards against fraud in the senatorial primary law. Two years ago the entire City Committee was | controlled by the money power in the interest of the Republic’s candidate for United States Sena- tor without protest from it. We presume the Republic now will support amendments guarding the senatorial primary. = = * i i Philanthropy is defined as love to mankind, as benevolence, good will, desire to do good, and as divine love of man.

The death of Whitelaw Reid leaves in Ameri- ean journalism few conspicuous men whose ex- perience spans all the troubled years since the anti-slavery agitation. Mr. Reid became the editor of an Ohio news- paper at 21 years of age, while the “underground railroad” was still in operation. Henry Wat- terson, the dean of the profession, entered jour- nalism in the same year at 18. At 24, Mr. Reid was a widely Known war correspondent. At 25, the ‘Washihgton representative cf a great Western paper; at 80, th. managing editor of t Tribune.

Fritz Kreisler, a son of Austria, one of the greatest of living violinists, whom a St. Louis audience applauded 20 minutes one evening last week, has been officially notified by the Austrian Government to hold himself in readiness to re- spond to a call to arms. Kreisler represents art which might readily be spared compared to the useful genius which war slays. We should painfully bemoan the loss of a great musician, but how mankind would suffer if its scientists were forced to shed their life blood in futile combat! A war might easily have deprived the world of Louis Pasteur, “The world’s loss of genius potential slain in bloody strife might be conceived in the terms of centuries of progress. How much further civilization and.the arts of peace must have ad- vanced if great usefulness had not been cut off in thousands upon thousands of ——“ in- stances. i, Ap 3 re Thespians who have discovered that it is 14 miles from Schenectady to Troy and from Troy a fatiguing walk to the gay Rialto in New York will ‘not: be able to understand the enthusiasm with which 25 women will take part in pil- grimage in reverse to present a suffrage petition at Albany. >.> ~~. ü A NATIONAL ‘‘BLUE SEY’’ LAW. The name “Blue Sky” laws is applied to recent legislation in different forms which several of the states have already adopted for the protec- tion of the public against the more or less dis- honest practices of vendors of mining stocks and ether security issues purporting to represent actual values. Considerable “blue sky” seems to be sold by an institution no less well established In respectability by law and custom than the New York Stock Exchange. Thomas W. Lawton says 80 to those who can interpret the amazing diction and syntax of the articles i, which he again attacks Wall street. Sworn testimony be- fore the Pujo Congressional Committee also af- ‘firms it. We learn that for the better accomplishment of ite peculiar ends, membership in the exchange is still limited to 1100, the number fixed in 1869, though its business has since increased 50 fold. We learn that the shares of stock now annually traded in number 196,000,000.

In addition to the public hearing on the bills providing for a southern approach to the Munic- ipal Bridge there should be an investigation and report on the proposed approach by the Public Utility Commission. The Public Utility Commission has proved very useful in enlightening the Municipal Assembly and the people on public service conditions and measures. It gave an excellent report on the Southern Traction Co.’s franchise and on the regulation of traffic on the bridge. It is com- posed of capable, fair-minded men, who have demonstrated their power to serve the public by thorough inquiry and just conclusions. It would be wise to extend the commission’s usefulness by seeking its counsel on all bridge legislation and all franchise legislation. Its views of the desirability of the southern approach and if it is advisable, of the best location and the conditions under which it should be built, may be invaluable as a guide in finding satisfactory conclusions which will protect public interests and promote legitimate business. It would be well to refer to the commission the McKinley line’s Hall street switch bill and other similar franchise measures. The Munic- ipal Assembly should be well advised as to the measures needed for municipal progress and the ‘public should be assured of their soundness in every detail. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE License All All Migihterns To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to say in answer to a letter te your paper in regafds to steam pressure in school boil- ers: The writer says he would like to know how much time the children would have to escape if the valve would stick. I suppose he is referring to the safety valve of the boiler. I wish to say that if the pressure went up above the pressure the safety valve was intended to blow off at,it would only be a short time until it got to the bursting pressure and as he says he has seen additional weights on the safety valve, I don’t think the school children would have the tWo minutes that the School Board claims is all that is necessary to empty the building in case of fire, as a fire will always give some warning, but a persgn who Is in charge of a boiler and puts extra weights on the safety valve in my opinion would not know enough to give warning in case of danger. My friend, no doubt, was surprised when he saw such conditions, but if he will pay a visit to some of our hospitals and children’s homes, he will find conditions that are more alarming in the boiler room. We have an engineer’s license law that is a huge joke, the only one it affects is the man who has passed an examination for an engineer’s license; he has to abide by the Boller Inspector’s laws or have his license revoked. The unlicensed man has no laws ty» obey, but takes all the chances as he sees fit; he could blow up all the schools in town and get by with it. szENGINEER. Fate of the O14 Man and His Horse. To' the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. By taking charge of the ash hauling the city of St. Louls has made paupers of hundreds of old men, both black and white, who were not able to do a hard day’s labor, but could take old Dobbin and go out and haul a couple of ash pits and make a scant honest living. Now what can they do? What can the horse do? Nothing. Therefore, the old man sees ‘his old faithful plug taken by the city’s. police and shot for want of something to eat because the city has robbed them both of their Hving. What becomes of the old man and|}- Bither starve and freeze or go to the R. P. his wife? pcorhouse and that is the last of them. Pay Your Store Debts. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Everyone at this season is planning to make someone happy and most are proud of themselves that they gave such aid, so placing themselves cn a pedestal, saying “Admire me! See what a Christian I am. I deny myself to help others.” At the same time, they willingly forget the small storekeeper, who has helped them by extending a little credit. It may be only a dollar or less; sometimes more. Try to think what a number of these small bills amount to. Such is our case. My Christmas will not bé a happy one, In spite of the bold front we shall place before all our friends. We have a little store, bought with bor- rowed money, and no reserve fund. We manage to pay the wholesalers, to keep in good standing, end we are just able to do it by doing without necessaries for ourselves. We have decided to give no Christmas presents, so as to not get be- hind in our bills. What a Christmas! How mucn happier all would be if the outstanding money would be paid. Oh, what a help to us! Oh, you people! Pay your dealer. He needs it as badly as anyone. Help him*to spend a worry- free Christmas. Please pay vour bills. THE GREATEST SUFFPERER—THE WIFE. The Socialist Vote. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I herewith hand you your political prochecy of July 14, in which you sald: “I’nless all signs fail, Socialism will slump to a negligible quantity and barely muster a corpor- al’s guard in this campaign.” This was in an editorial headed, “Socialism’s Froken Nose.” As you are in Migsouri, I don't reed to say anything more than that the “cor- peral’s guard” numbered over 800,000, an increase of 180,000 since 1910, or nearly 30 per cent.

Ten thousand people gathered in a delta town where 500 persons assembled together are counted no ordinary num- ber is a spectacle, But 10,000 colored people gathered together in such a town, among the citizens of which there is NEGROES’ ing the imagination of one unacquainted with the delta. That number piled in on this“town today to hear Booker T. Washington and to have part In the ded- ication of the Mound. Bayou Oil the largest of its kind in the State. They were a well-dressed, well-be- haved set, unarmed, bent on peace and not on riot. The oil mill cost in round number $100,000. The builders of it have meas- ured, as far as possible, the effect on an oil mill operated in the cotton belt by black men in competition with mills op- erated by white men. Since there is no ill feeling among white planters, who raise 100,000 bales of cotton for the same market for which colored farmers raise 10,000 bales, they concluded that no damaging friction could arise because colored people decided to operate an oil mill side by side in open competition ‘with white mill owners. Two-thirds, and probably more, of the raw cotton in Mississippi is produced by colored farmers, as owners or tenants. Heretofore they have handled it in the boll and bale, to see it again only when it has been woven into garments or con- verted into oj] for various purposes. This ofl mill at Mound Bayou Is the first serious step In legitimate manufacturing undertaken by the colored race in the United States. VIENNA’S APARTMENT HOUSES. From Harper’s Weekly. The more pretentious apartment houses in Vienna havea curious im- post lidvied upon them. The doors are closed at 10 o’clock at night, and after that hour every one who goes or comes must pay 320 cents until midnight and 40 cents thereafter un- til 6 o’clock in the morning. The im- post must be paid as many times as a man enters or leaves a house. [f, fcr example, a person is in the house of a friend until 1 o’clock he must pay 40 cents on leaving the friend's house and another 40 cents on enter- ing his own. The money thus raised is devoted to protecting citizens against burglars. Congress on the Farm.

—— tematic and indiscriminate use of per- sonal fascination—the use of power for the pleasure of exercising it and for no good end; the use of power that un- steadies men right and left and ends in an emptiness which makes you scorn yourselves. Personal charm is one of the great and unexplained gifts of heaven. Some people have it all ‘their lives and never know it; and when they are dead, after their long and anxious and self-dis- trustf_nl years, we wring our hearts, be- cause we have not told them. Yet had we told them, and had they believed us, they might have lost it forever. EnSONAL charm, self-recognized part of one’s capital, the power to fascinate men, consciously used to give zest to life, becomes almost despicable; at the very least it tends to make a girl useless and leads her to make men use- less by distracting them; at the worst it breaks homes and happiness. I speak of something quite different from that desire to please, which is torn of courtesy and devotion and which brings at length an honest charm of its own when the attraction of the profes- sionally charming has lost its power over all who thoroughly know them. rs ‘ ——ooo —_ — RY Le Baron Russell Briggs Tesident of Radcliffe College Avoid the systematic use of personal fascination--Avoid the use of power that unsteadies m2n—Personal charm used to give zest to life be- comes almost despicable— At best it tends to make a girl use- less and leads her to make men useless by distracting them—At worst it breaks homes and happiness. I have in mind those vain and foolish girls to whom the homage of men is the glory of womanhood. The professional beauty, though she often lacoRs personal charm, belongs in the same category, and what she pins her faith to is even more fleeting. Whatever you do, keep your souls white from the effort to fascinate men. Again, truth and devotion demand nowadays that a woman shall do some- ihing—a year or two of social education; but that is no excuse for people who make such things an end in life, and no excuse for the mere tims-killers, wheth- er man or woman, whether poor or rich. “Mr. Jones,"’ said a youth to a maiden, “is the m»st wonderful man I ever saw. He knows every card.I had at bridge u week ago!” “Has it ever’ occurred to you,” said the girl, “that he is 4 rears old and that he doesn’t know any- thing else?’ of, “Don’t you know that girl?” da gentieman, as he bowed to a strikingly handsome lady. “She wins more money at bridge than any other woman in Bos- ton.” Even outside of the question of gambling, there is something shocking jin that kind of notoriety, if only for

i tive’s orders. As you know, the rebels are threatening this region, and Don Ramon has obtained a captaincy in their forces. He threatens to burn the haci- enda if you come here again.” So Hale went, gnd thereupon, because it had grown impossible, his love grew stronger. And on the ,preceding day he, had met the senorita again as he rode homeward. Bhe was riding toward the hacienda, And then, as her horse grew restive, he laid his hand upon the bridle, and, her own being so near, he took it in his; ana then, looking up into the senorita’s flashing eyes, he lost his self-control and took her in his arms. He kissed her and she returned his kiss; and then she spurred her horse and it bounded away, and the episode was over before he had tnderstood that it was happening. GROUP of Mexicans were lounging round the door of the mine of- fices, but the mine was not running. As Hale dismounted the mine foreman, Haggerty, came out. . “Mr. Hale, you may as well go home,” he said. “The mine won't run for many a day to come.” Hale looked at the impassive fore- man and the jabbering Mexicans and guessed the truth. “Strike?” he asked, “Yep,” answered Haggerty briefly. “Don Ramon’s in the hills with fifty men and he’s sworn to put us out of business unless we hand out ten thou- sand pesos. So the old man thought it best to close down, especially as the men want double wages. We're forti- fying the camp’—he pointed toward the row of huts on/the hill where the American manager and his staff lived ~-“and you'd better get your things and join us this afternoon, for the rebels may ve here any time after sundown. And, by the way, I forgot to say that Don Ramon sent word he wants you especially, If we'll hand you over with the ten thousand we can start up again. What have you done to him, Mr. Hale?” Hale grinned. “I guess he’s sore on me for private reasons,” he said. “T’)) bring my ‘grip over by four o'clock. So long!” And he turned his horse back toward his isolated bungalow in the valley. He dismounted at the door of his abode, tethered his horse, and walked friend, “I shall be delighted,” answered Hale. “When do we start?’ “At once, Senor Hale,* answered the youth, and sent for the horses, which | had been tied In a clump of brushwooa

Two men stepped forward and, seizing Hale, began leading him toward the tree. The noose. was placed around his neck, Two others seized the loose end of the rope. They looked to Don Ra- mon for the signal. The old woman rushed forward, esreeming frantically, fell on. her knees before Don Ramon, and plead- ed with him. Don Ramon did not give the expected signal. “Senor,” he said to Hale, “surely you will not disappoint my excellent kingwoman by refusing her suit! Your chivalry alone should prohibit you from so ungentlemanly an actiun. Come, Senor, I give you 30 minutes to decide, Speak with her in privacy, listen to her plea, consider whether life be sweet, or whether death be sweeter.” He came néarer. “She is 84," he whispered. “She won't live long. Senor Hale, I shal] hang you greatly against my will, for the merican Governnient’s arm is long. Be wise!” He issued a sharp order and turned on his l. The soldiers forced Hale into th use and ted him to the re- ception m. The old crone was con- ducted thither and the men withdrew, taking their posts at the door. Hale and the old lady were left alone to- gether... They looked at each other. He saw the wrinkled face, the blearea — half visible beneath the heavy lace mantilla which she had thrown over her head. She was singularly like her niece in build, perhaps a warning of what the Senorita would become in her old age. The caricature was hor- rible, and it made Hale shudder with disgust. To buy his freedom in such & way was impossible. “Senor!” said a soft voice near him. Hale started and turned around. It ‘was the voice of the Senorita. He heard a low laugh behind him again “4 swung back toward thé crone. efore him stood the Senorita, the mantilla raised and thrown back, the bowed figure straightened, the flesh clear and youthful and firm under the painted wrinkles, the black hair —* discernible beneath the wig of white. “You!” stammered Hale. “Si, Senor.

Le Baron Russell Briggs. the waste of time it inipies. A game af cards (without gambling) for relaxa- tion now and then, by all means: but cards all day and half the night and Sunday—can you think of a life more arid? I remember a party of young men and women (Americans) who were visit- ing Rome, presumably for the first time and who, after a late breakfast, would sett in the hotel parlor every day for a whole morning at cards. What business had such people in Rome? What business had they any- where? ' MPN and women are bound to justify their existence. They may give years of preparation, but they must show in their works and in their play fFome promise of truth and devotion or the outlook is hard for them and thetra, If you are going into society for ex- perience, give one day a week for @eeper experiér.ce, for some kind of belpful work to keep your soul from shrinking. Whenever you see a so- Clety girl of peculiar loveliness; yov will find that society has only a part of her and not the best part. } Whatever you do, whether you work in the slums or go to a cooking school, do something outside of parties and calls and afternoon teas, which are weak diet alike for body and mind. A word here as to college, When I Was young, a girl who went to college was thought queer. Now a girl who may go and’'does not go is sometimes vhought queerer. People whe know have long since discovered that the college girl is quite as human and delightful as any other girl, and likely to be « better companion, through life. No doubt there are odd and unwomanly college girls; but they are singularly few. . College life gives us, or should give us, a larger way of looking at things— ‘the power of seeing the difference be- tween a petty thing that to the un- trained and selfish mfnd seems big, and a little thing that is lighted and giori- fied into a big one because it fs a smal) outward sign of a great inward truth. Take, for instance, a matter in which there are probably more sinners among woman than among men. I do not say that. college life eradicates pettiness, but it ought to get out of any girl's head the wrong kind of se.sitiveness and put in the right kind. By the wrong kind I mean what exists to a pitiful extent.among women. other- wise good, the kind that busies itself with small qvestions of precedence. I have known women who really cared whether other women were asked to pour out tea oftener than they; I have known good women arranging a series of afternoon teas to think it vita] if Mrs. X were asked to pour out tea, Mra. ¥ should be asked, and asked an equal number of times—even though Mrs. X was infinitely better fitted than Mra. ¥ for that particular job. Such women, if you will pardon my saying it, cannot understand “a good manly view’ of people's mutual’ rela- tions. It is right to take pains even in small ways, lest others’ feelings shall be hurt; but it is not right to decide everything or anything according to small jealousies and morbid suspicions of indignity. MONG all the unprofitable servants af not wicked and slothful) few are more unprofitable than the people who are always on the watch for a slight. There are such men; there are more such women than a healthy-minded man ‘would conceive if he were not brought face to face with the sad fact, when we look up toe yank ae : ley 3 * J pees RE +; ⁊ we — Jem eee —— J— od 4 * Tem ~ omega 1 — — ORS oe, ey cr Bie ear you have « take the initiative in any probably make him shyer Why Should She?

Circuit Judge Hitchcock Monday’ re- fused to grant a divorce from Ralph Chesley Ott, artist, to Jane S¢chaufert Ott, and revoked a temporary injunc- tion he granted at the time she filed the suit, which prevented Ott from dis- posing of his property, consisting prin- cipally of lots in University City. The trial of the Ott case lasted near- ly all of last week. Mrs. Ott charged her husband with habitual intoxication and desertion and testified that he was intoxicated on. several occasions. She also said he took their two children to the home of his parents in Springfield, Mo. * Ott’s Cross-Charges. Ott denied the allegations and said that on one occasion he became sick from drinking wine and beer, but was not intoxicated. He charged that his wife was unduly friendly with a man they met while they were spending a summer in Arkansas, and that this man ran along beside the train at Monett, Mo., holding to his wife’s hand while the train was pulling away from the station. Judge Hitchcock did not give his rea- sons for dismissing the suit. At the close of the trial Saturday the Judge intimated that he was not entire- ly satisfied with the evidence produced in support of Mrs. Ott’s petition. He pointed out that the entire evidence to sustain her charges that Ott was in- toxicated came from her testimony and that of members of her family. He said the evidence would have been more sat- isfactory if witnesses who could be con- sidered unprejudiced had been produced, Ottv’s Testimony. Ott testified regarding the desertion charge that his wife refused to accom- pany him to his parents’ home, where he had pictures to paint, and that when the train reached Springfield she went into another car. He said he left the train with the children and had had them since that time. WIRES JOIN BACKBONE, PARALYSIS IS RELIEVED Spinal Column Uncovered After Man’s’ Back Is Broken, Ver- terbrae Are Joined.

He was paralyzed from his arms down, Dr. John A. Boger and his assistant, Dr. Samuel 8S. Kelly, laid open the spi- nal column, uncovered ths backbone at the point of fracture, and then removed reveral pieces of vertebrae which had heen crushed to splinters, and which wers pressing 6n the spinal cord. Dr. Boger ran silver wire through the adjoining vertebrae, and wired them tegether. Wentz was strapped in a plas- ter cast, and after he came from the in- fluencs of ether, all of his reflexes had been restored, showing that the pres- sure which had paralyzed him had been

Si successfully removed. The surgeons are confident that he will survive, although h> will never be. oble to perform mantal labor. *

As the result of these economies we are SELLING shoes for less than it costs the average manufacturer to MAKE them. Progressive merchants are fast learning that it pays them to concentrate their purchases with the manufacturer who con- stantly carries a stock of shoes from which they can quickly fil in their sizes as needed. This is the only way to prevent great — losses resulting from rapidly changing styles and from expenses incident to carrying more goods. than necessary. This company constantly carries by far the largest stock of — shoes in the world. It is kept clean and fresh, our styles are good, and we serve our customers well.

- Believing in the intelligence of the American people, we have built this business on a sound economic basis and have not deceived either ourselves or our customers with the theory that GOOD shoes can be made of substitutes for leather. — : In manufacturing and selling our shoes every true econ- omy is diligently sought, but it is not fair to the consumer for the manufacturer to save 5 to 30 cents a pair by using substi- tutes for leather, because the consumer does not know it until he has worn the shoes and found them unsatisfactory. It is a fact that about 90 per cent of all the shoes made in the United States contain substitutes for leather. The Inter- national Shoe Co. does not use any substitutes. The International Shoe Company owns. and operates TWENTY-THREE highly organized specialty factories, em- ploying over 10,000 skilled shoemakers. During 1913 these factories will make FIFTEEN MILLION PAIRS of shoes; em- bracing over 1000 different styles—for men, women and chil- dren. Manufacturing shoes in large volume under one manage- ment materially reduces the cost of production. Our factory man-Shelby shoes-aré sold b is distinctive and’ separate. Each retains its individuality. When you are buying shoes, demand these brands. Then — isfactory shoes. .

After December 15th, 1912, the business purchased from the Friedman- Shelby Shoe Company will be conducted under the direction of Mr. John C.' Roberts. It will thereafter be known as the “Friedman-Shelby Branch.” Its customers will participate in all the advantages and economies of the Interna- tional Shoe Co. The shipments of this branch for 1912 are not included i in the above state-_ ment. International Shoe Company St. Louis

As has been the case with previous six-day riders, the cyclists either held their own or took on weight. The mechanical work of the bi- cycle rider causes less drain on the vitality of the athlete than any other form of ex- ercise and this fact, coupled with the con- tinual eating of the best of food, helps them to put on weight. Today was pay-day for the riders. The sums due them reached a total of nearly $25,000, of which $5100 represents the prize money and $19,000 the guarantees or bo- nuses. Each rider is guaranteed a sum ranging from $50 toe $275 a day as long as he remains in the race.

Railroad owners are the only persons who profit, as Roger Bresnahan, the deposed Cardi- nal chieftain, is able to attest. Roger rushed into St. Louis from New York Sunday. Previously he had rushed to New York from Toledo. Soon he will rush from St. Louis to his Ohio home. Roger doesn’t travel on the “dead-head list’ and neither do his at- ger, who recently made a trip to the National League meeting in New York. It’s the old gag of everything going out and nothing coming in—a condition not calculated to make anyone enthuse at the Yuletide time. That the Cardinal club, soon _may settle its case with Bresnahan, though, “was the opin- fon expressed by baseball men Monday. Some said that Roger came here to accept a set- tlement. However, the Duke was noncom- mittal. Roger says he will tarry a few days. A Heavy Price to Pay, In case a settlement is not made, Bresna- han will begin to collect evidence. The club has 20 days in which to file an answer to Bresnahan’s complaint, and in that time President Jones, according to his statement before the League Board, intends to line up 40 witnesres and many depositions. This will require time and money, and when the items are all down for both sides, added and @ total struck, it may result that the firing of Bresnahan cost nothing short of $30,000. Then the St. Louis club gets nothing for its one greatest asset—a player that the late M.

The men began practice the week fol- lowing the Arkansas game, and have since been laboring hard. French is looming up strong for a forward posi- tion. His experience in interscholastic basket ball and -his speed and ability to shoot baskets give him the edge over his fellow competitors. Cayou has arranged a schedule be- tween the classes. About two games are played each week. To Saturday the sophs had won two and lost one, the freshmen had lost one and the juniors one. Modisette, the lanky soph center, is the star of the team. In the freshman- soph game he made 3% out of the 55 total points. The freshmen have the largest squad out, totaling about 15, bur lightness of weight and lack of expe- rience greatly handicaps the “‘babies.”’ French and Maenner Juniors, French and Maenner are the strongest men on the junior team. Both are playing well and by Jan. 14, when. the Pikeway laddier clash with Ames, at home, these men ought to be on édge. Scherer, the huge varsity gridder, is also out for the team. He has been playing center for the Juniors. Althaus. candidate for guard, who haile from McKinley High, has won fame in his high school contests and was the star of ‘ast year’s interscholastic championship team. However, eligibility rules do not per- mit Althaus to play in varsity contests before January. ‘Milford, the midget Pikeway football play- er, who played such sensational! bal! on the gridiron, is out for the basket ball team, but owing to an injury to his shoulder js great- ly handicapped. Numerous other good but less experienced men have been participating in the dally rou- tine work. Chirvis, Jackson and Brookes at forward, Gallenkamp, Swope and Lacy at guard, are men who, with good handling. may step into the varsity lineup before the season advertising. DIAMOND GLINTS. That Albina Pachyderm. Mrs. Helene Hathaway Robison Britton is out with an emphatic denial that she ever called her Cardinal club a white eiephant. las, it’s too late! Facetious scribes throughout the East al- ready have ——— the local National League entry the “‘White Elephants.”’ a dis- paraéging title the monarchs of Connie Mack once had. but lived down. Incidentally the Eastern writers have unanimously agreed to call Miller Huggins the ‘‘Deputvy Manager.’ which is worse and more of it. Hard to Beat Card’s Infield, There’s no doubt about the strength of that quartet of infielders who are working out daily at Robison Field. Koney holds down first, Larry Doyle cavorts at second, Arnold Hauser at short and Bobby Syrne at third. Considering the youth ‘of this outfit It is by al? odds the greatest inner-defense in the National League. é On recent figures a lineup of Daubert, Ev- ers, Wagner and Zimmerman might appear more formidable, but who would trade this latter quartet for the former?

M., for his fight with Jack Johnson, Ryan said he believed Morrow was the coming middleweight champion. Morrow went to the Pacific coast and battled there with but moderate suc- cess and did nothing to indicate that he was in the same class with Mike Gibbons and Eddie McGoorty, but after a period of further instruction Ryan 1s going to turn him loose against Bren- nan, who is piling up quite a list of K. O.’s in his record. If Morrow wins from Brennan, Ryan wants to match him against any middleweight for the title. McFarland Again Meets Murphy. Packey McFarland, the Chicago star, takes on Eddie Murvhy at Kenosha, Wis., rounds Monday night, and this is sure to be a busy bout. : These two have met several times before, and on one occasion Murpny closed McFar- tand’s eye. Then they met again and Me- Farland got even by trimming Murphy in a manner that made the latter look bad, but Murphy thinks he has McParland’s number. and tonight’s bout between the two will be entered into with a good bit of feeling.

Last year she was so busy shopping for herself that she forgot all about her maid, so she said to her at the last moment. ‘Felice’—her right name is Maggie, but Clara thinks Felice sounds better—she said to her, ‘Felice, I couldn't make up my mind what to get you, so I’m going to give you $20 and let you buy your own present!’ “And Maggie, or rather, Felice, sent that money home to the Old Country to her people, and, as_she hadn't a heavy coat, Clara .Mudridge-Smith had to buy one for her, so it just goes to show how girls will impose on you?’ Mrs. Mudridge-Smith is a Spug, then?” asked Mr. Jarr. “Oh, she wasn’t then, but she is now,” “She is simply going to give her maid’ a Christmas card, or something like that this year.

All the married men joined it, We are co-operating ‘Spugs.' That is, we will not join the ‘Spugs,’ but we will go to those near- est and dearest to us and say to them: ‘Be a Spug.
