In other words, Hart had been dreaming. Despite the purely —5 nature of St. Peter's visit, Hart was not able to forget it. The longer he thought, about it the more positive he was that St. Peter was right. He related the dream to Mrs, Hart. “St. Peter Right.” Says White. “St. Peter was right,’’ was her com- ment. So Hart decided to build “the clubhouse for the boys and go on using his touring car. But the spirit of social service is strong in Webster Groves just now, as will be seen later. The Rev: Charles L. Kloss, pastor of the Congregational Church, and other persons interested in making the coun- ty’s ‘“‘model town’’ a better place to live in, suggested an institutional church, where Webster Groves residents of all ages and both sexes could find pure and uplifting diversion. That plan was discussed Monday night at a meeting of the brotherhood of the church and Hart, in a short address, told about his conyersation with St. Peter. “And now,” he said in conclusion, ‘‘I will donate the money I was about to put into an automobile to the proposed new parish house and club building.” An outbreak of: enthusiasm followed his announcement and one after another hastened to subscribe large amounts. Among them were Charles Martin, vice- president of the Crunden-Martin Wood- ehware Co.; Claude Morton, R. F. Good- now, Ward H. Goodloe and a score of others. Minister te Give Farm . The. Rev. Dr. Kloss announced that he would donate whatever he could get for his farm, which lies near Webster Groves, and is said.by real estate men to be worth about $1000. Before the meeting was over, $10,000 had been sub- scribed, and pledges made to raise a great deal more. Consequently, if plans are carried out, Webster Groves soon will have one of the most comprehensive institutional churches in the. country, members of the brotherhood declared Thursday. Between. $15,000 and $20,000 will be spent for a new parish house, and the erect- ing and furnishing of a clubhouse. The latter building will contain a complete- 13 equipped gymnasium, a hall with a stage for all kinds of entertainments, shower baths, reading rooms, class rooms, \a swimming pool and other fea- tures of the modern club, The institu- thon will be conducted strictly on un- denominational lines, and its facilities will be available to all respectable and | lorderly citizens of Webster Groves.

— fe © — Action, Withd raws — By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Lawyers for both sides are continuing in their si- lence concerning the basis of the sud- den settlement of Mrs. Alice G. Ry- croft’s suit against Henry Clay Pierce of the Waters-Pierce O!l Co. to re- cover $171,000 in stocks which she al- leged he had handled for her. It had been alleged that the securities had been turned over to him to convert into more remunerative property. The first trial was uncontested by Pierce, but he had the case reopened and the second was about to procéed, with the jury all ready, when the com- promise was announced in the follow- ing terms: ‘The plaintiff has become convinced from evidence submitted to her by the defendant since the preparation of her pleadings that the defendant did not convert to his own use any of the se- curities or moneys belonging to the plaintiff which were at any time in his hands. She therefore withdraws and retracts the charges of conversion made by her in her pleadings in this and in any and all other actions now pending against the defendant, and con- sents and directs that the pending ac- tion and any and all other actions pending against the defendant be dis- continued. All matters in account be- tween the defendant. and the plaintiff have been settled and adjusted. * Mrs. Rycroft has another suit pend- ing against Post & Flagg, ° ‘brokefs, for $50,000, which she claims she lost owing | @ to their selling out stocks she had on margin. WOMEN FAINT IN STORE WHILE DOG KILLS A CAT Bull Terrier Does Workmanlike Job as Shoppers Have Hysterics. Two women shoppers fainted and sev- eral others became hysterical in the Saenger Mercantile Co.’s department store at Belleville, Thursday, when. a bulldog killed a cat before the eyes of a dozen women. The dog, a brindle terrier, belonged to a shopper. The cat belonged to the store. The cat stuck its head out from behind a counter and the dog made for it. After an exciting chase the dog cor- nered the cat and killed it in approved bulldog fashion. Shrieks of the wom- en mingled with cries of the cat, and it was several moments before employes of the store could restore order.

The management of the house refused to disclose the names of any of the women or of the owner of the dog. STRAWBERRIES IN ILLINOIS Bloomington Grower Picked a Quart This Morning. » BLOOMINGTON, M.

‘could be no money trust” was em- phasized by a vigorous bang with his fist.on the arm of. his chair. The financier testified as to the rela- tions of the house of Morgan with sev- eral great corporations. He said hs had approved the prices at which the subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corporation were taken into the big corporation. Untermyer asked if he had not named the Board of Directors of the Steel Corporation and an said he might have “decided who shouldn’t go on.”’ His holdings of certain bank stocks he characterized as “not very much, about a million dollars,”” much to the amusement of the committee and the crowd which gathered to hear his testi- mony. When a laugh went around the financier joimed in heartily. Once when his voice got hoarse his daughter, Mrs. Herbert L. Sattsriee, gave him a throat’ tablet. Morgan, surrounded by nearly a doz- en of his partners and attorneys, an- swered with apparent freedom all ques- tions. He agreed that, through “voting trusts,” several of which existed in his company, a few trustees could name the directors who, in turn, would name the officers of great interstate industria) or railroad corporations. Morgan denied, however, that he be- lieved interlocking directorates, where or three men held directorships in ral banks, trust companies or cor- ‘ations, could bring about control and a’ anity of action. He declared that without a majority on the boards such men could not dictate affairs or control the corporations. Acts for Other Companies. The financier took direct issue with Untermyer as to the opportunity of- fered to a few men to get control of general banking conditions through sueh participation as Morgan & Co. have on of directors of the leading banks of New York.. Morgan produced, in response to a question, copies of the fiscal agreements between J. P. Morgan & Co. and the New York Central and the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad com- panies. He said there were no other such agreements made by his house. He sald the firm acted as fiscal agent for other companies “by tacit agreement.”’ “You are acting for a number of other corporations, are you not, including the United States Steel Corporation?” sug- gested Untermyer. “Yes, but that is by a resolution of | the board of directors of the Stsel Cor-

Morgan observed thaf the figures showing stock voting methods in for- eign -banks seemed to indicate control by what resembled “voting trusts.’’ “They could simply put their stock under different names and evade that iaw. I don’t want to suggest that, but it could be done,”’ he said. “But they don’t allow that sort of hocus pocus over there.” “I think the records will show dif- ferently.

This rail- road figured in the recent “hard coai” cases’ before the Supreme Court, where it was held that the Temple Coal & Iron Co. had strangled the new road. Untermyer asked Morgan knew Robert Bacon; a former member of his firm, had gone into the. coal field ‘and bought up the coliferies, so that the new road wag not built. Morgan edid he knew nothing about it. The consolidation’ of the Lake Shore & Michigan Central railroads into the New York Central lines aevas brought up.’ “You believed in buying cumpeting line?” “Why,. sure.” Untermyer asked about the consoll- dation of the. Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads in the Northern Securities merger. “What was your idea as to the reason for destroying competition there?’ asked the lawyer. = “I don’t know,” said Mr. Morgan. Morgan said he bought control of the Equitable Life Assurance Society from “Mr. Ryan amd Mr. Harriman.” He said he got about $51,000 worth of stock, for which he paid $3,000,000. “The -company pays 7 per cent divi- dends?’”’ **Yes.” “That is, $3,710 on your stock?” **VYes.”’ . Untermyer wanted to know if James Stillman and George F. Baker were interested in the purchase of the Equita- ble, Morgan conferred with his counsel and said Baker and.Stiman had agreed to take one-half of the investment off his hands at ‘any: time. | Untermyer insisted on knowing why Morgan had thought it good business to buy the Equitable stock at a price that bankers con- up the est. Morgan said he thought it was ‘good for the situation.”’ Untermyereasked why it was not just as “good for the situation” in the hands of Ryan and Harriman. “I don’t know,” said Morgan, “But you thought it was better for you to have it?’ “That’s the way !t struck me,” said Morgan. — Would Resell at Cost. organ said he asked Ryan to sell his Egtitable stock to him. Morgan said he had only one idea about the disposition of the Equitable “I think it should be turned over; that is, the stock, to the policy holders,”’ he said. “That always has been my idea.” “You mean, sell it to, thé”policy hold- ers for $3,000,0007"" '“For just the price I paid for it.” “Then I don’t understand why you bought the stock.” “Only because I thought it was the thing to do." “Then theré was no reason?” *“"Well,’ that’s the way you look at it. I thought it was the thing to.do. Some day you'll agree with me.” ‘*“Maybe sonie day you'll agree with me. se ei enn 2d “be. elie ees for a good reason,”’ sald Morgan with a laugh. | Morgan explained in more detail he had thought there was a possibility of the Equitable stock being divided, that Ryan had already sold some of his. “That was not the reason,” he said, “that was only one of the things that went through my mind.” “But what would have been the harm if it had been divided?” Morgan insisted the only answer he could make as to his ase of the stock was that he “thought it was the thing to do.

A bitter political feud for contro} of = St. Louis Democracy between Harry B. Hawes, former Democratic boss of he city, and ex-Governor David R. Francis has come to the surface since the Mayoralty boon of former Council- man Saunders Norvell was launched. The break between Hawes and Fran- cis, who had been political allies for years, atarted over the Cowherd- | contest for the Democratic nomi- @ation for Governor, The feud has be- come so intense that Francis and his friends refuse to indorse to Gov.-ele:t Major for any appointment any man Who has the support of Hawes and his friends, and Hawes and his supporters refuse to indorse for city nominations an, candidate who has the backing of Francis or of his newspaper, the Re- Public. “Hawes and Francis are each charged with a design to be boss of St. Louis. As the result of the fight between Hewes and Francis there have been many new political alignments during the past few weeks. Some of the men who, supported Francis vigorously in ‘fig... for the senatorship have gone Over to Haw>*s, and soi.ie of the former Hawes men have joined hands with Francis, William 8. Cowherd of Kansas City, who had the Democratic nomination for! Governor four years ago and was de- feated by Gov, Hadley, entered the con- test ‘for the nomination again last: March, shortly after the Democratic! State convention at Joplin. He sup- ported James A. Reed of Kansas City against. F.ancis for the senatorial nomi- Hation, and this angered the former Gov- ernor. During the primary campaign Cowherd’s friends circulated a report Francis had made a declaration Cowherd should never be Governor @s long as Francis lived. | —* Split im State Primary. ‘Francis supported Major for the Dem- ocratic nomination, and Hawes took charge of the St. Louis end of the Cow- herd campcign. One of the Democratic leaders active.in the management of the Francis campaign two years ago . tlon commisisoners, told a Post-Dispatch reporter, with a' t that his name be withheld from publication, that Francis served notice on his friends that he would never sup- |! pert any of them Yor another office if a they helped Cowherd in his campaign. ‘Hewes lined up the Democratic City | Committeg almost unanimously for | Cowherd, and carried the city for him! by. more than 17,000 over Major, but Ma- | jor carried 90 counties of the State over . Cowherd and won the nomination by a smell plurality. Supporters of/ —— Mi his present contest against Francis fay that the former Governor objected to the Pemocratic City Committee sup- _ porting Cov herd as against Major. The Hawes men declared that they met Francis’ objections with the statement of fact that he had the unanimous sup- ‘port of the city committee tn his sen- | torial contest against Reed two years ‘0, and contributed more than $15,000 ‘to get it. Following the nomination of Major and hie election, Hawes and his friends concedeé that Francis would be Deputy ‘Govetnor of St. Louis so far as appoint- ménts and policies were concerned. Im- mediately after the November election - Hawes started to work in the city. The defeat of the Republicans as the ‘of the Roosevelt party's vote of in the’city encouraged Hawes and his ers in the belief that the Demoorsts oould carry the city election | next ng Hawes figured, it is ‘that {f he could nominate the ticket he could shetkmate Francis and prevent him from becoming the dominating fac- * tor in the city. ae Was Hawen’ First Choice. + Hawes began by advocating the nom- : tiation of Frederick G.

He ig- 25 and this fanned the ‘he hom Sp in this city, | primary, | Sreat satisfaction. fHURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1912... a em EN R — Bitter * and Francis DAVID R. FRANCIS would greatly strengthen Hawes’ power, ‘and if he could control a Mayor who ‘would appoint the police, excise and elec- it would greatly strengthen his hands in the contest with Francis. The Hawes men say that Francis is grooming himself for the senatorial rare against Senatof Stone in 1914, and that he is attempting to-build up a machine to aid him in that tight. Some of tha St. Louls men who did valiant work for Francis two years ago declare - they would ot support him again. The influence of the Hawes-Francis fight is already being felt in State politics. Francis and Stone have been fishing for the support of Speaker Clark in their contest. Stone was the osten- sible leader in Missouri, and in many other states, of the Clark campaign for the presidential nomination. Francis igsupported Clark vigorously, and raised through his paper a large sum of mony | to finance his campaign. ⸗ The Francis-Major combination has caused both Senators Stone and Reed considerable alarm. If Francis should ; be able to defeat Stone for the nomina- ‘tion in 1914, Senator Reed fears that he would have Major for an opponent tn 1916. By building up a political machine throughout the State Major co:'d make | himself a formidable political factor by the end of his term in 1916, and Reed 'fears that hewould havea hard fignt against Francis-Major combination. The Hawes men say that J. D, Perry Francis is grooming himself as the political successor of his father. Amusing Feature of Feud. The feud is not without amusing features. Francis contributed $500 to Major’s campaign fund, after the State and Hawes gave the same amount, although he had fought Major bitterly in the campaign. It is said that he gave exactly the same sum as Fran- cis to head off any attack Fran-is might make upon him on the theory of supporting Major and the State ticket. Hawes men seeking political appoint- ment under Major have been sent to Francis for indorsement to get a line on his plans in the fight. These candi- dates have come back with the uniform Meclaration that the first question askad by Francis was whether they were in any way connected with hiawes, or sev- eral other persons known to be close to him politically. Local Democratic leaders not particu- larly intérested in Hawes or K'rancis fear that the feud wil) be carried go far that the Democratic municipal ticket will be defeated in the April election. Henry W. Kiel, Republican, who was defeated for Sheriff in the November election, says he ts so certain the Fran- cis-Hawes fight will cause defeat of the Democrats that he has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomina- tion for Mayor. There is evidence that former Gov. Folk, in his law office in the Pierce Building and on the lecture stump, is viewing the Hawes-Francis fight with Folk has his eye on two jobs—a place in Gov. ——— Cab- ——= — | Christmas Present .

While Francis and Hawes are at each others throats over local and State. politics, Gov.-elect Major, without any apparent suggestion from Folk, is sur- rounding himself with the friends and supporters of the ex~Sovertnrr. Man at Major’s announced appointees are al- ready actively at work building up a Folk-for-Serator organization. through- out the State. Hawes an‘ Francis both opposed Folk for the senatorship against Stone. Folk has told his friends that he believed he would have a walkover for the nomina-| tion if Stone and Francis both entered the senatorial! copsest in 1914. Until the Hawes-Francis ‘feud, Folk regarded Francis as a more formidable opponent than Stone. WILSON'S OPEN DOOR FORBUSINESS NOT SOGIAL GALL Next President Won’t Tire Self Meeting Curious Persons and Going to Banquets. By Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 19.—The days of public receptions in the big east room of the White House are numbered, and in the next administra- tion people will not be received at the executive mansion merely for the pur- pose of shaking hands or gazing in curiosity at the President of the United States. President-elect Wilson de- clared that he could *see no use “in spending time just to receive people who had no public business to transact at the White House. Outside of the needless physical strain of receiving hundreds of per- sons when the President is endeavor- ing to use his energies for more im- portant pursuits, Gov. Wilson said he did not believe in incessant receptions to tourists and the numerous societies that come annually te Washington. Won’t Atteng Many Banquets. He also indicated that he would not attend very many of the banquets that national societies of various kinds rhold in Washington. and to which the President. so regularly is invited. “Many of these societies," he said, “represent important objects and I ap- d A N assisting | Government work in spewing defore them, but I really don’t see any need of going to the banquets of the or- ganizations. It might be better to ad- dress the business meetings of these societies.’’ : ' His Open Doer Policy. Gov. Wilson said his open-door policy would be preserved at the White House so far as it was physically possible and that he intended to have the doors of the executive offices thrown wide open “whe have business to transact.” the President-elect probably ‘will alter to some extent is the prohibition on the newspaper men of referring to conversations with the President in the third person. Gov. Wilson said he probably would express himself often and in the first person in statements issued from time es Ume on public uestlons. —— 8 ade ‘tien pe oy wt a i A — —— SHERIFF GETS JEWELS OF IMPULSIVE MRS.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—A woman's voice was heard within the Senate cham- ber when Miss Mary Boland of Scran- ton, Pa., testified in the Judge Archbaid impeachment case. Miss Boland was the first woman to appear before the Senate since 19. In that year anather testi- fied at the impeachment trial of Judge Swayne of Elorida. Judge Archbald probably will take the Witness stand in his own defense before the end of the trial. It is expected that about ten witnesses will be examined following the Christmas recess. Miss Boland is a niece of William P. Boland, one of the principal wit- nesses against the Judge, and is a ste- nographer in her uncle’s office. Attor- E. J. Williams had told her, Sept. 18, 1911, that he had just come from Arch- bald’s office and had seen there a brief the Judge had prepared for the Erie Railroad in the “lighterage case.” She replied in the affirmative. A dispute arose as to the admission of this testimony. The attorney explained that he desired to show that Williams was confused when he testified that he had seen this “brief” or “trial list”’ in the Judge’s office in March, 1911, about the time Judge Archbald is alleged to have been attempting to buy a coal dump from the Erie company. The evi- dence was admitted, however. Many witnesses were called by Judge Archbald’s attorneys yesterday, but ob- jections were frequent and several wit- nesses were not permitted to testify.

Scarcely a day passes without children bringing or send- ing to the Post-Dispatch office their savings, to the last penny, to be added to the fund for giving poor children a Merry Christmas. Nearly all of these contributions represent self-denial in the accu- mulation -and certainly represent self-denial in the disposal, for in most instances the saving of pen- nies and nickels was started be- fore appeals were made for the Christmas Fund, and it was their original intenfion to spend the money at Christmas time for their own gratification. But when the appeals were made on behalf of the children who would have no Christmas, if there was no Christmas Festival, their hearts were touched and they brought their savings to the Post- Dispatch office, to be used for the purchase of Christmas happiness for the poor. As a matter of fact, children who make such use of their savings purchase more happiness for them- selves than could be bought in any other way and so in the use of their money they are wiser than many grown-ups.

NEW YORK, Dec, 19-~-A _ well- dressed couple boarded .a crowded street car in Lodi, N. J., bound for Hackensack. The woman had a baby in her arms.

The child apparently was asleep, for the Woman held it tight to her breast, The car iirohed forward as the motorman started with a jerk. “B-a-a!

BERNHARDT GIVEN | ONE Big MOMENT IN SON'S PLAYLET “A Christmas Night Under the Terror’ Saves Its Star for This Great Opportunity. By RIPIZY D. SAUNDERS. N “A Christmas Night Under the Terror’ the role played by Sarah Bernhardt is that of a young vivan- diere of the Republican Army who saves the lives of a Royalist nobleman of La Vendee, his’ peasant-masquerading wife and little daughter, the ‘three having fal- len into the hands of the vivandiere’s soldier-comrades because the rebel aris- tocrat stole through the lines to give his chilé a Christmas kiss. It’s a pretty little story, devised for the stage by Maurice Bernhardt, son cf Sarah, in collaboration with Henri Cain, an experienced French dramatiat, and only at one moment does it place any considerable physical or emotional strain upon the player of the vivandiere role. Presented at the Columbia Thea- ter on Wednesday afternoon and even- ing, to be repeated at Thursday’s mati- nee and night performances, it enabled Bernhardt to appear in a more satisfy- ing aspect than was possible to her *‘Lucrece Borgia’ of the first two days ef her St. Louls engagement. It would be folly to claim that Mme. Bernhardt looks the part of the young vivandiere capable of sharing in the hard and active service of troops en- gaged in a winter campaign ‘against | ap enemy scattered throughout the rude fastnesses of a mountainous country. This bodily seeming now is impossible to her. But the rough sort of uniform iwhich she wears, the collar of its coat hiding her neck, the cocked-hat pulled down over her brow and shading her face, does much, to conceal the rav- ages of time, she makes no physical movement not absolutely imperative and she saves her voice as jealously as though its every tone were literally of gold*drawn from a well-nigh bankrupt treasury. Thus holding her waning powers in reserve, Bernhardt arrives at that one moment in the action of hér son’s play- jet when at least a brief flash of her old dramatic fire is inexorably demand- ed. This moment comes when, shaming her soldier-comrades for their willing- ness to serve as the executioners of the young Comte and Comtesse de Kersan, the storm of anger and pity sweeps her beyond all discretion dnd she ter- minates her passionate outburst with a splendid cry of “Vive le Roi!” hurled full in the faces of her astonished com- panions of the Revolution. Here, for an linstant, although her voice» had broken ominously a little time before, Bern- hardt was almost her old self, flery, ir- resistible, commandingly imperious. Ani hére, too, she dominated her audience, scoring the one big: triumph of which age had robbed her in the ‘‘Lucrece Borgia” of her-earlier playing. This, however, is all that she does of real dramatic import. I do not ‘be- lieve any of us will ever forget the pathos of Bermhardt’s weary clinging to every arm that comes within her teach, resting a hand on every shoulder losing no possible opportunity to gain support from a table or a chair; at, one pitiful moment, weak and, scared, calling attention to a door carelessly left open, through which a cold draft blew directly upon her. It is the sad- dest real-life picture I have ever seen in the mimic world. to look upon its iike again. I shall trp to rsmember, instead, those lighter phases of the play’s revealing— the pretty Bernhardt comedy in the vivandiere’s potato-paring scene with the young Comtesse de Kersam, her in- stant and melting friendliness toward the latter’s little daughter, an occ&sion- al flash of camp-fire badinage with Sergeant la Balafre, the minor mo- ments that mercilessly refrained from crucifying Bernhardt on the cross of old age. Thesé, alone, are the things that may be remembered without pain. The players in support of Mme- Bern-' hardt were admirably competent. The little cast included M. Lou Tellegen as the Comte de Kerson, M. Deneubourg as Commandant Renaud, M. Favieres as Sergeant la Balafre, M. Tsrestri as Malec, the old Chovan farmer who sheltered ‘the fugitive aristocrats; Mlle. Seylor as the Comtesse de Kersan and Mme. Boulanger as Yolette, the farmer’s wife.

OLDER SKULL THAN CAVE MAN’S FOUND IN BRITAIN Shaped Like Chimpanzee’s, Has Human Teeth and Big Brain Capacity. LONDON, Dec, 19.—At a crowded meeting of the Geological Society, Charles Dawson and Smith Wood- ward gave the particulars of a re- cent discovery made in Sussex of what they declare to be the oldest known Woodward, who is the keeper of the Geological Department of the British Museum, says it belongs to the lower pleistocene period, being older by far

He declares it shows un- mistakable connection of man with the apes and the most remarkable feature is that the jaw bone, though bearing human teeth, is shaped like that of a chimpanzee. On.the other hand the brain capac- ity must have been two-thirds that of the average man, the inference being that man acquired a brain be- fore he acquired a human face and jaw and the power of articulation.

Opal, in describing. the arrest of her tatner, went through a pantomime that it was not necessary for her little brother to interpret.

Folk told members of the City Club at luncheon “hursday that the thres Home Rule bills prepared by the Business Men’s League were defective because they did pot provids for the removal of the police, excise and election commissioners by the Governor of the State. To adopt home rule bills giving the Mayor ab- colutely control of these departments would result in special interests getting control of these important offices, Folk esserted, and the nullification of the liquor and the gambling laws. To have effective home rule, he said, the Governor should have the power to remove any official who failed to en- force the law. Home rule, he said, had a different meaning in different places. Home rule in Ohio, he said, meant the right of cities to adopt their own char- ters, while home rule in St. Leuis means the right of the city to name its own police and excise commissioners. “Nearly everyone favors home rule, but there is @ difference of opinion re- garding the measures te gain this end,” he said. ‘‘With all due deference to the gentlemen who are advocating the so- called Business .Men’s League Dills, which propose to confer upon the Mayor the power of appointment of Police Com- misioners, Excise Commisioners and Election Commissioners, I think they are defective in not giving authority to the Governor to remove for failure to en- force the laws of the State. In my opin- fon these measures would not bring home rule, but no rule; so far as. the liquor laws and gambling laws are concerned. No Objection: to Local Selection, “There:is no objection to the local se- lection of police and ‘excise ‘commission- ers, but the Chief Executive of the State should have power of ~emova! where the commissioéners fal: or refuse to enforce the laws of the commonwealth—that is home rule, the other would be misrule. The excise and police departments have to do with the enforcement of State laws. ‘“‘Why should the State be stripped of all authority to see that its laws are carried out where there is ‘failure on the part of local officials to enforce them? Reserving the power to remove by the Governor, instead of interfering with home rule, would insure home rule under the law,:and would be a safeguard against the overthrow of home rule by the powers that prey. “It ds insisted that the Governor should have nothing to do with St. Louis. He is the Chief Executive of the State, and it is no more inconsist- ent with Home Rule to permit an ap- peal to the Governor from a lower executive official than to allow an appeal from the St. Louis Circuit Court to the Supreme Court. Not Abused in Other States. “It is argued that this power to remove might be abused by the Gov- ernor. That has not been found to be true in New York and Ohio, and in other states where the Executive has this authority. There is far less danger of the Governor using the power improperly than there is in local government being destroyed through special interests securing control of the Police and Excise De- pamtments, on account of lack of power of supervision by the State. Such power rarely would be use}, and only in .extreme cases, but Its existence would have a tendency to prevent the abuses requiring its use. “Last summer when these meas= ures were first proposed it was fully 4 é, stated in the public press that the object was to make St. Louis a wide open city. ~Without impugning the motives of those who now advocate these measures, I believe it is clear that they were born of that desire. “ft is not hard to imagine the possi- bility. of the brewery interests, for instance, securing control of the Po- lice, Excise and Election “departments. Then liquor laws could be nullified, gambling statutes set aside with impunity, all forms of vice would stalk abroad unashamed and unafraid and the people of St. Louis would be without machinery to secure relief. Look at St. Louis County, where the State has no authority to protect it- self. Multiply the carnival of lawless- ness and crookedness that has been go- ing on there by the difference In popu- lation between the city and county and you will have the conditions here these measures will produce in their present form. “If it is desired to change the liquor and gambling laws, the way to do it is not to give control of the Police and Excise departments to those who de- sire to break these laws. The better way would. be to go to the Legislature and ask for a repeal! of the laws object- ed to, or request the Legisiaturp to give St. Loul# and the other cities of the State entire control of the liquor trat- fic. and allow these cities to make their own legislation a these ‘matters, “If the is to take the lid off in St. Louls tt —* ot and honestly, indirectly, and in a way leading to the crookedness and venality of other days. cae so much difference be done directly |! ACTRESS WHO BECOMES BRIDE OF ACTOR IN ST. PEI ER’S CEREMONY -E RADER | ] 4 it makes a great deal of difference if there is a law demanding they should be closed, whether that law is enforced or not. If the the Police and Excise De- partments of St. Louis are at liberty to permit violation of the State laws with regard to liquor and-gambling, the inevitable result would be for some one to demand some kind of graft for giving this privilege of lawlessness. Lawlessness Means Corruption. The privilege of lawlessness always leads to corruption. St. Louis has proven this before. In the investiga- tion’ of the Police Department, a few years ago it was found that many, of the police:had been getting a graft from] lawless dramshops and gambling plac:s. So appalling were these exposures that zour of the officers committed ‘suicide rather than face the results of their acts, The rsvelations in San Francisco, Fittsburg and New York have made it clear that whenever ‘the privilege of ‘awlessness is given to any class, and 2 profit is made out of that privilege, som: sort of tribute is always extorted by some of those in authority for con- ferring it. “Local option to make laws is one thing; there should be no such thing @s local option to break State laws. Local self government means the right to select officials whose juris- diction is limited to that locality; it should not mean license to break State laws. Sovereignity must. be lodged somewhere, and it is lodged under our form of government in the people of the State of Missouri. Each individual should have the right un- der law to govern himself so long as it does not interfere with the equal rights of others. Each city should have absolute home rule so far as is consistent with the due observance of the laws and the peace and dignity of the State. This is the kind of home rule that we want. That is, real home rule, and not brewery rule. Home rule and not hell rule.’’ NEW YORK RECEPTION TO MRS.

Magnus, actress, Of ° 5855 Von Versen avenue. After the ceremony, at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Lindell boulevard and} Spring avenue, the young people re- turned to ‘their work without saying anything about the wedding. The bride’s parents attended the wed- ding, friends of the couple said, but Kader’s parents did not learn of it until Tuesday night. They had been expect- ing it, however. The romance began last summer when Rader was singing title roles with the Delmar Opera company at Delmar Gar- den. He has ylayed in nearly every part of the country in vaudevitie and stock. He is a baritone singer. Mrs. Rader has appeared with many amateur and semi-professional compa- nies in St: Louis and had intended to study at the Ziegfield Dramatic Studios in New York, with a view to winning recognition in comic opera. She is 21 years old and her husband is one year her senior. He is a graduate of the Washington University Sehool of Law.

Speaking of panics as & state of mind to which natura] and unavoidable causes admittedly may sometimes contribute, he said: But the machinery isin existence by which the thing can be deliberately done. Frankly, I don’t think there is any man living who dares use the machinery for that purpose. If he does, I promise him, not for myself, but for my fellow countrymen, a gibbet as high as Haman’s. “What would have happened if Gov. Wilson or © man of his views and resolution had been Pres- ident when, the machinery being unquestionably in existence, such use of it as he speaks of was attempted, as is alleged, in 1907? What he says is only the equivalent of saying that the Government is biggcr thar the biggest of all banks, the greatest of all trusts, the most concentrated and formidable business power rep- resented In interlocked or uninterlocked directo- retes. Gov. Wilson’s -eference to gibbets was orly figurative, but there is recourse to other penalties than public stigma. The power of the Government can be used in time of threatened panic to restrain financia) in- stitutions pursuing malign ends and to support worthy ihstitutions endangered through the de- signs of others. The millions the Treasury turned over to Morgan five years ago to save the stock gamblers might have been used to prop banking institutions whose suspension of payments burt legitimate business, Haman gibbets can be made very helpful.

Nothing more than the threat of a Haman gibbet would have been needed. The warning is not confined to those whose power over the resources of the country enables them to unsettle business stability at will: If panic is a state of mind, the warning applies also to those who create apprehension through dismal predictions as to impending trouble. —_— = = — w= we Discoveries made from time to time as to un- suspected sources from which opposition to the retailers’ bridge approach has been prompted ought to strengthen the judgment as to the su- periority of that approach.

This is at least one-fifth of the estimated wealth of th. country. Only through interlocking directorships is the Morgan contro] possible. To dissever trusts from trusts is the larger problem which the menace of expanding power thus suggests to a country, its legislators and courts, which have not yet successfully solved {the problem of dissolving a single trust into sepa- rate and distinct ownerships.

It was not to be supposed that insurance agents and automobile owners would indorse the proposal to do away with automobile liability insurance by legislation. But the greater public which makes and unmakes law finds the proposal worth con- sidering. There can be no doubt that a liability insurance policy amounts to a license to drive without fear of pecuniary loss, no matter what the conse- quence to life or limb. Insurance men claim that the care and discrimination they exercise in is- suing policies only to responsible persons is a public eguard, but th: answer to that is—the continuing and increasing number of accidents indicate the need of more drastic safeguards. As a matter of right the public is entitled to every reasonable safeguard which the law can throw about the operation of dangerous engines. As a restraint upon recklessness or negligence noth- ing better has ever been devised than damages. We repeat our belief that contracts which relieve

ithe individual of this restraint, in the face of a great demonstrated public danger, are opposed to public policy and may therefore be legislated against constitutionally. At least the question is worth threshing out in Legislature and courts. ha he —3 - —_

To the Editor of the Post-Dispacch. The working girl has no chance whatever. It is a shame! Wherever you go to work the first question put to you is, “Are you married?” Not by the employer, but by the employes, because the majority of the working women today are married, living with their husbands, if you would call them such, They do not deserve the na that is, if they are well, able-bodied men. I not refer to the widows or the so-called grass widows, because the latter have had the misfor- tune of getting bad husbands. A law showld be passed to keep such women from competing with poor working girls that have aged mothers, fathers or young sisters and

operations would have done much nrvre ta testard; brothers depending on their support. These wom- en have the nerve to ask: “Why don’t you get marriedt’ Why, it is just disgusting to hear them. Perhaps, if they would stay at home and de their duty it would encourage a girl to get married. They even boast about the fine posi- tions their husbands have and they just can’t stay home, they get so lonesome, The working girl should never forget to lisp a prayer to heaven for the late Senator Kinney. May his soul rest in peace! A POOR WORKING GIRL. Spriag Election Suggestions. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It would seem to me that at the ensuing spring election the voters will be equally discriminating as in November last. That they are tired of boss- lem is evident. Much better that “Warwick” him- self should be a candidate than that he should be permitted to name the “king.” We have an ex- ample to the eontrary in the present incumbent. Personally Mayor Kreismann is al] that a citizen could desire for the office. He has ability and address, and {ff it were not that he felt under ob- ligation to the “Warwick” of his party his admin- istration would have been equal to that of his predecessor. There are not many men constitut- ed Hke Rolla Wells. His political makers as well as his friends realized early fn his tncumbency of the office that his father’s (Erastus Wells) estimate was correct: “Rolla can’t be influenced against his judgment, He'll do what his own judgment dictates and that’s the end of it.” Among the political acquaintances made during many years I would say that Jefferson Pollard would come nearer filling the expectations of the voters than any other, Judge Woerner, were it not for the opposition ofthe stock and -bond- holders of the United Rallways Co., would make an excellent candidate. But it may, for good rea- sons, be surmised that if he were the nominee and Jeptha Howe his opponent, our Democratic friends in that utility franchise would “back” Howe with money and — publicly for Woer- ner. Jeff Pollard is, — the man for the place and it is time that his friends and all those favorable to his candidacy should organise for the fray. WILLIAM FREUDENAU. MR. FRANOIS OB MR. HAWES. From the St. Louis Mirror. The Republic is crying aloud for a primary at which the Democratic voters may decide upon the man they wish to nominate for Mayor of St. Louis. I don’t know that anybody is particularly against a primary.- The Republic, which is Mr. David R. Fran- cis, seems to be excited because Mr. Harry B. Hawes is in favor of the nomination of Mr. Saundérs Nor- vell. It says Mr. Hawes is controlling the City Cen- tral Committee in favor of Mr. Norvell. Well, if there are other candidates who think they can win, why doen't they convince the city committee of their ability? Mr. Hawes is not the only man who favors Mr. Norvell for Mayor. Shall Mr. Norvell be shut out of candidacy because Mr. Hawes is favorable to him, or because the committeemen like Mr. Hawes and agree with him? Mr. Hawes has no machine now. When he had, the Republic was not against him. When Mr. Hawes had a machine Mr. Francis ran with it. Mr. Hawes was a good Francis man. But now Mr. Francis resents the idea that Mr. Hawes shall be for anyone for Mayor without consulting him. Mr. Francis is against Mr. Hawes as a boss, not because he dislikes bossism, but because he would himself be boss. Mr. Francis still “‘hankers arter’’ the Missouri senatorship. With the control of a St. Louis Mayor and the friendship of Gov. Major—for whom, in truth, Mr. Francis did a great deal but couldn't deliver for the nomination—Mr. Francis could put himself over for the Senate—pre- sumably. Therefore, Mr. Francis does not want Mr. Hawes to have any political power. Now all this is very interesting as concerns Messrs. Francis and Hawes, but it hasn’t anything to do with whom shall be Mayor. Let Mr. Francis and Mr. Hawes havg a primary to determine .who shall be the boss. Mr. Hawes would probably win as easily as he did when he carried St. Louis for Cowherd for Governor, against Mr. Major, backed by Mr. Francis. The Re- public has nothing but praise for Mr. Saunders Nor- vell as a possible mayoralty candidate. Why then disparage Mr. Norvell by declaring that he isc the choice of Mr... Hawes? How can Mr. Francis or the Republic know that Mr. Norvell would not be the choice of the majority of voters at a primary, if one were held? If the Republic has a candidate for Mayor, or if Mr. Francis has one, why not trot him out and let us leok him over? Mr. Norvell’s friends are not carrying him up their sleeves. Mr. Hawes

even isn’t afraid to say he is for Mr. Norvell—not: even with the Republic frowning at him. St. Louis- ans are more interested in Mr. Norvell and other possible or probable candidates for Mayor than they are in the effort of Mr. Francis to diseredit Mr. Hawes, with whom he worked amicably and even intimately for years. Is Mr. Hawes advocating an unfit man for office? Even the Republic does not say so. Is Mr. Hawes against a primary? I don’t see why he should be. He has shown he can carry the city at a primary against Mr. Francis and the Republic. In any event, the question before the community is that of getting a good man fo May- or, and not whether Mr. Francis or Mr. Hawes shall be the boss. If the people feel that Mr. Norvell.is the man, even the Republic admits h'm to be, they will nominate him at a primary. If they don’t so believe, ‘they could beat him even in a convention. I think Mr. Norvell fs, so far as at present appears, the most available man for the nomination. If we must have a boss, I should prefer Mr. Hawes to Mr. Francis, because Mr. Hawes draws his power now solely from the city, whereas Mr. Francis draws his power from outside the city, just as Mr. Hawes — ae nag hls acapella rg The insinua- 1 would be the creature of Mr. s office, is unjust to a man who —— and won honors on his own ublic should — — — — ————— I ON ——— — — : H, THURSDA DAY AY EVENING, DEE MBE ey . a8 — —

BOTANY AND MANKIND'S FUTURE. From the Boston Transcript. The importance of botanical researches cf the kind in which he has made a name for himself was shown last even- jug by Prof. Hugo de Vries in his second Lowel Institute lecture on “The Evo- Intion of Plants.” “The future of the human race,” he said, “will depend upon new foodstuffs, for those now known will not suffice to support it.” He stated that the increase in population, if continued at its present rate, and the time in which distress might come is net very far away, a century or two perhaps. There would under those cir- ecnmstances be really a struggle for life. The resources of the earth are being quickly consumed, coal is almost ex- hausted, the forests are fast disappear- tng, and agricultural work, if it is to save the day, must be greatly improved. In the United States about one-quar- ter of the soil is under cultivation, and fer the rest there are the difficulties of deserts and of irrigation. “If it were possible to grow things in the desert world,” said the speaker, “it would be very desirable. At any rate, it is the agriculture that is in the foreground of public needs.”

MODERN BUILDINGS. From the New York Times. The pyramids of Egypt would not be the type of permanence they are were they exposed to the vicissitudes of the American climate. At the annual meéet- ing of the Modern Historic Records As- sociation it was stated that the ancients are eclipsed by the moderns in storing records: “We have better methods; with cement and granite and steel we can build to]’ last indefinitely.

NEW BALKAN STAMPS. From the Pall Mali Gazette. If we may credit the Munchner Nach- richten, one outcome of the war will be some remarkable postage stamps. Prep- arations are being made, we are told, for the issue by the allies of stamps the rain feature of which will be the same in each of the Balkan states. This is a flery cross encircled with the words, “In hoo signo vinces.” The stamps of the different states will be distinguished by a view of the capital Athens on the Greek stamps, Sofia on ‘the Bulgarian, Belgrade on the Servian and Cettinje tn the Montenegrin.

By MARY AUSTIN. Author oF P’“‘The Land of Little Rain.’ N SO FAR as marriage and divorce ar@ discussed among women of the wealthier classes, these matters are approached from a point ot the great number of people in the gen- eral ranks of the community. In this country there is only one fam- ily in sixteen whose means allow of their having one servant, and only one family in forty-six who can keep two servants; and this proves that the laws of marriage and divorce must be con- sidered with a view to fitting them to different classes of people. The necessity of divorce is an unerring index of our inability to mate success- | fully—it is nothing else. As life grows m and more complex, personal ad- justment becomes more and more diffi- cult. Among primitive peoples divorce is almost or entirely unknown, because | man and wife have had exactly the same education, or lack of education. have exactly the same social standing, exactly the same taste in furniture and surroundings and in everything else, and consequently they have fewer points on which to disagree, and there are, therefore, very few occasions for ‘di- vorce. Reduced to a simple formula, it may be said that thé more differences there are between men and women of differ- ent classes the more grades of society there are, the most differences there are between the standards that men and wotnen set for each other’s conduct, character, manners and attainments, the more difficulty there is in successfully mating. B EFORE we can discuss properly the subject of divorce we must have some sort of an idea of. what is the object of marriage. It seems to me that creasing the sum of human efficiency, and that it is a mistake to measure the success of the institution merely by counting the number of children bern. A marriage which produces two sane, healthy children undoubtedly justifies it- self to the race and to society; but a marriage may be without any children at all and may still justify itself, pro- vided that by that marital life the sum of socia] efficiency is raised. The question of divorce is one largely of the effect of th® marriage upon the sum of social efficiency. For instance, if a man Or a woman by drunkenness or in any other way diminishes the social efficiency of the other to less than it was before marriage, I believe that® marriage has no business, socially, to exist, Or if there is such friction, such temperamental friction, in the mar- riage so that the constant wearing of cne upon the other reduces their ef- ficlency, then the marriage has no ex- cuse for its existence. The first mistake Which society makes is to assume. that the mating instinct is a proper and gufficient guide in mat- rimonial matters. The mating instinct may be a proper guide in a state of nature, in a state of socletytsuch as existed in the Samoan Islands before the missionaries went there; but the mating instinct is not sufficient now that marriage has an important social espect:and society has become so com- plex. it is necessary to understand just what elements enter into marriage and just what relation it bears to our lives. The’ passions and emotions enter into it, but they are by no means all that do; and therefore the first step to be taken to prevent divorce is to instruct the young upon this most important and vita! ' phase of human life. instruction in sex hygiene merely, but instructio@® in the psychology of sex. I think we need instruction here in America more than anywhere else in the psychology of the marital relation, in the psychology of jealousy, of pos- sessiveness, in marriake from the in- herited traditions about marriage and its obligations which have come down to us from. the. past. — E make marriage too much a matter of opinion. A woman thinks that it ought to involve certain things, and she starts with her mind made up in one way; and the man ap- proaches it. with-his mind made up in another ‘way; and then views must sae. and after all each view is prob. eneait, theretere, be tnetroction view which can have little interest for * gers; they ought to be tabulated and set years, and, with all that experience at the back of them, they ought to have learned how to get along. In other lines humanity has profited by the experiences of those who have investigated or have been through cer- tain phases of life, because these expe- riences have been related. We have all learned some things, and these ought to be communicated to oth in order for the assistance and guidance of others, so that unfit mating might be prevented to a considerable extent by school instruction in the organization of married life and of the home. Another means of regulating divorce besides premarriage instruction, would be to change our marriage laws. At the present time we allow people to get married solely under the guidance They | marriage exigts for the purpose of in- | In order to secure successful mating | I do not mean | of the passions which arise out of mar- | riage; and young people under the in- ‘fluence of what may be a purely phys: { ical infatuation can run off to a County | Clerk and be married in 24 hours. When young people go before this ‘marriage commission they should make len application for a license to be mar- ‘ried. The application should include certain facts which society is interest- ed in knowing; and as society becomes more organized there: will be more facts necessary to be included in the applica- tion—such facts as the health and his-. tory of the parents, whether there is insanity in the family, what the par- ents died of, and matters of that kind. If young people knew the answers to these questions before they married, many marriages would not take place. ET us suppose one young couple married; the question is, have they married badly? What constitutes a >ad marriage? As I said before, a bad mar- riage is one which lowers the sum cf human efficiency. Viewed from this standpoint I am not sure that infidelity is always a cause for divorce; I think very frequently it is not. I should think drunkenness a far more serious cause for divorce than occa- sional infidelity, except of course in thosé cases in which infidelity causes so much suffering to the other party in of the marriage. the marriage as to destroy the efficiency ¢ i from him Divorce equally with marriage should be prevented from taking place merely as a result of a sudden burst of pas- sion. Applicants for divorce should go before the commission and after ‘he application has been made a certain time should elapse, a month or two, at the end of which the commission should inquire into the matter. fo me the most mysterious thing about our modern divorce laws is that you cannot get a divorce in most States, if both parties want it; it is only where there is a battle and a struggle. It seems to me that this tends to aug- ment all that is bad in marriage and divorce. We demand this ‘condition of affairs, this condition of horror and enmity be- tween the parties, and people have to work themselves up to it until they get to the point where they have a suf- ficient cause and a sufficient amount of hysteria to carry them through the difficult process of getting a divorce. No-v, when you have to work yourself up, like an early Christian martyr, be- fore you can get a divorce, it is very bad, for if anything should be done without passion and excitement it is di~orce. GREAT deal of discussion has cen- tered around the problem of what is to be done with the children when the parents are divorced. The least we can require ig that the parents give bonds that the children will be cared for, and.if one or the other tries to shirk this responsibility, the law should interfere, This is not a responsibility which rests upon the man only; the woman has no more right to shirk the care of the children than her husband has. The important matter of the effect of a divorce upon the children of a mar- riage is one that I have gone into. very thoroughly. .There is only one way of finding out whether or not divorce is bad for the children, and that Is to co)- lect evidence in relation to the children of divorced parents and also in relation to the children of parents. who are un- happily married,, but are stfil living to- gether, The evidence I collected is all very clearly in favor of divorce. I. only THE STORY OF THE STATES - UT for the Win of an English King, one of our states would now be known by the high- sounding title of Crescentia. That was the name that George Cal- vert, Lord Baltimore, planned to give to a new world province that King Charles I of England granted him to colonize. But Charles asked that the province be called “‘Mary’s Land," in honor of his wife, Queen Henrietta Ma- ria, daughter of Henry of Navarre. And as a royal ‘“request’’ amounted to a command that could not be disobeyed, Crescentias became Mary’s Land 090 Maryland. George Calvert died before he could colonize it. But his son, Cecilius Ca'- vert, second Lord Baltimore, went ou? there with about 300 settlers in 1634, Maryland in those days included all the present State of Delaware, the District of Columbia and much of Pennsylvania. - The site of Philadelphia was part otf 9 In fact. there were quarrels over the boundary line between Maryland and Pennsylvania until, in 1762, two English , surveyors, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, surveyed the district and laid out {the famous ‘‘Mason and Dixon's line’’-- a line that was later to divide free soil trou slave states. Almost from the start the Maryland? colonists found trouble awaiting them. Their first quarrel was with a band of Virginians under Capt. Clayborne, who had settled on (Chesapeake Bay in 161. And in the resulting clash English bioud was shed for the first of many timus by Englishmen on American soil. Then came a body of Puritans who had been kicked out of Virginia be- cause they would not conform to the Episcopal Church. They settled in Maryland, where they proceeded to stir up an insurrection against the local government, and for a time seized con- trol of it.

In the War of 1812 Maryland’s coast was ravagéd by pillage and flame. And Maryland was the scene.of the double British invasion that was aimed for Bal-/ timore and thence for Philadelphia. Had this invasion succeeded the war would probably have ended spéedily in victory for England. The plucky resistance of Fort McHenry checked this raid and in- spired the writing of “The Star Span- gled Banner.” Then came the Civil War. And Mary- land was one of the most important. “border states.’ Public opinion ran high. “Maryland, My Maryland,” and other songs and ballads were warblked by Southerners to woo it from allegation to our Government. While the State as a whole stood firm for the Union and while nearly 50,000 Marylanders fought in the Federal armies, yet thousands en- listed in the Confederacy, and much of Maryland was bubbling frothily with tympathy for’ the Southern cause. This sympathy largely expended itself in the mobbing of a Massachusetts regi- roent that passed through Baltimore on the way to the front and in much and roisy talk. When Gen. Lee, deceived by the fervor of such talk, invaded Mary- land in the hope that the whole State would rush to his aid the ‘‘whole State’ did gothing of the sort, but remained in- active, while the Confederates were de- back again into Virginia.

3 AS ELE AA LAER iy BEIT Rt I OE I ke NU RON - DEATH OF NURSE. Brother Has Post-Mortem, Ver- dict of Which. is That She Died From an Operation. o- BODY KEPT SIX WEEKS Lawyer for Millionaire Pittsburg Employer Hints at a Black- mail Plot.

Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Deo, 19.—Arthur Heil, Proprietor of a curio store in Philapel- phia, is investigating the cause of the death of his sister, Mrs. Emily Dewees Felis, 42 years old, who died in the New Yor Hospital, Nov. 3. The body, after it had been kept in the receivjng vault by Edward J. Scully, an undertaker, for nearly six weeks, was sent to Philadelphia Monday night. On {its arrival there Heil had a post-mortem examination made by Dr. William 5. Wadsworth, connected with the Coron- er’s office of that city. Dr. Wadsworth said the woman had died as the result of an illegal operation. The death certificate on file in the of-

fice of the Board of Health recites that Mrs. Felis, named in the certificate as Emily L. Dewees, died of “multiple neuritis.’’ The certificate was signed by Dr. George F. Hock, house physician of the New York Hospital. According to the records of the hospital, no opera- tion was performed on her there. Trees Made $9,000,000 Sale. Mrs. Felis, who had begun divorce pro- ceedings, had been employed by Joseph Cc. Trees,*a Pittsburg- millionaire, . for two years prior to her death. About 15 years ago Trees sprang into prominence through his sale of oil wells for an amount reported to be $9,000,000. He is years old and one of the best-known the new Pittsburg millionaires. Mrs. Trees has been ill for several! years and Mrs. Felis was engaged 4s nurse and companion. Mr. and Mrs. Felis made frequent trips to this city. They stayed.at the Hotel Plaza. Mrs.’ Felis entered New York Hospital on Sept.,18. Roger O’Mara, formerly chief of police of Pittsburg, and more widely known as ithe detective employed by Mrs. William Thaw to obtain evidence in favor of her son, Harry Zhaw, was employed by Trees’ lawyer to obtain evidence as to the exact cause of Mrs. Felis’ death. He came to New York but returned to Pittsburg Tuesday. Senator John S. Weller, attorney for Trees, said, in Pittsburg: “The suggestions made-in this matter are the culmination of a series of at- tempts to blackmail/carried on ‘during the last four weeks. Mrs. Felis was in the employ of Mr. Trees for about two years as trained nurse to Mrs. Trees.

a. “bottling, —

She was in no way favored by Mr. Trees ' and he had scarcely more than a-speak- ‘ing acquaintanag with her. While in ‘the employ of Mr. Trees she had her ' expenses paid and saved her money. “She consulted Mr. Trees once about his taking her money and investing it | mm for her. He advised her against doing anything with her money but banking it. When she again“insisted, he told her to consult any ,requtable stockholder in Pittsburg, | ° Invests Money for Her. “When she told him she would not trust her money with anyone but him, he reluctantly took it and made certain investments for her. “Before she left Pittsburg to go to New York, he handed her about $2000, a‘ quick return: on the speculative in- vestments Trees had favored. That is all there is to the matter of her having been given bonds by Mr. Trees and to the alleged mysterious disappearance of those bonds. “Ags to the cause of Mrs. Felis’ death, our report is that seven or eight weeks ago she became ill of pneumonia, and that this caused her death. “Immediately after the death of Mrs. Felis, who, it is reported, was married more than once, and whose husband is living, the plan to extort money was set in motion. Several letters were re- cetved by Mr. Trees, and as the weeks passed by, these letters became of a se- rious nature. Some unkind friend ad- vised Mr.. Trees to pay a little money and so end the annoyance. He consult- ed me. I advised him to fight, and we will ffght to the end, “Without Mr. Trees’ knowledge I hired Roger O’Mara to obtain evidence prov- ing the blackmail plot. His information confirmed mine on that line. More than this, he made other’ sensational discovereies and Was about to prefer criminal charges against certain persons when there was caused to be made a post-mortem by the Coroner’s pliysician of Philadelphia, in the hope that this proceeding would forestall any criminal proceedings. This plan, how- ever, will not succeed, and we shall prosecute the matter to the end.” ‘Hasband With Her Brother. When Mrs. Felis died, her husband éame to New York. He was apparently on excellent terms with Heil, her broth- er. Dr. Hoch said: “The woman we know as Mrs. Dewees died from multiple neuritis. It was a particularly well defined case, She told us that she had undergone an operation, but the operation she referred to was one that could not have caused either death or the neuritis from which she died. Moreover, the operation was a per- ; ap GHC: Sa.

Something’s brewin’, and the wigen- heimers have it that Hug will use Keney as a pawn to bolster the Cards. of Roger Bresnahan, Even Christy Mathewson, who is a full-grown scribe this winter, wires this tip from New York: “T happen to know that the possibility of Ed Konetchy of the Cardinals going to Pittsburg is so strong that it is al- most a certainty. I get this infgrma- tion from a sourge that I cannot reveal now.” : me The transfer of Koney naturally inter- ests Matty. It also interests all. other National League highbrows who have designs on the championship rag in Tom Lynch's organization next season, If Koney goes into the Corsairs’ camp, fol- lowed by Bresnahan, as it seems a cer- tainty that Roger eventually will land in Smoketown, it’s almost a certainty that the Pirates will bag the bunting. So Matty has a right to watch with e deal of interest the negotiations be- tween Hug and Clarke. Fans Opposé Keney Deal. But St. Louis fans are not ready to sanction a trade for their hard-hitting first sacker. Indeed, Hug, in suggest- ing a trade for Big Ed, brought down eon himself the wrath of many loyal supporters of the local National League entry. Ed has many friends here. Then he has few superiors in either League. And a club that hasn't a good first- sacker never can aspire to champion- This is a trite fact which Both these teams have been weak ob iret ang both would bid high for Koney. —— There's no denying the fact that Ko- ney’s threat to hold out for a big salary prompted Huggins to trade him, The Cardinal club, perhaps, smarting under recent financial reverses, cannot see its way clear to pay Koney the prico‘ the will demand. So Hug is trying to Dank account. It’s all up te Hug. more- lota ahout the inner workings of baseball. COMISKEY TO ENLARGE »} Comiskey of the Chicago American League successor. They liked Roger and they re- rent his unceremonious dismissal, New Contracts Numerots, Then it’s unfortunate that all the good players on the Cardinal club will have to be signed to new documents, They all want salary increases and some—especially Wingo, Magee and Hauser—are in @ position to get almost what they demand, Considering the expense which the Cardinal club has been under since it dismissed Bresnahan, the ex- pense of carrying lawyers te New York and collecting evidence. hiring detectives, etc., it will take a heap of diplomacy to get the players in line without exhausting the club’s over, ag he's the only man identified with the club In executive capacity who knows one Joke Is on the Carda. From where he sits, Roger Bresnahan can surely enjoy the perplexing situations which confront hig successor, Incidental ean feel that he is being ohe action of last year which brought down on him severe contended last season that up, that his arm wes weak little fellow was ‘‘in."* retired the Rabbit he was panned. pointed out that Hug had a great batting average and a lot ef wisdom.

| Six States Ask for Statute to Legalize Boxing

Copies of New York Frawley Law Sought by Illinois, Montana, Ohio and Others. NEW YORK, Dec. 1k—Judging by the number of requests made to the com- missioners for copies of the Frawley boxing law and the rules and regula- tions which control the sport in this State, there is a wide movement on feot for similar lawe in many other states. Requests were made by M. J. Hinkel of Cleveland, George C. Hilton, Repre- sentative of the Fourth District of Ili- Just why the St. Leos and Innisfails should be all worked up over the coming visit of the West Hudson soccer foot- ball eleven, which shows here against local teams during the holidays, is not apparent from the performance of the eleven mentioned in the Hast this sea- son, Although billed as the American cham- pions and leaders in their league race, the team? now is tied for fourth in the league in which they play. Adamson, the star center, who will come West with the eleven, one of the best players in the country, is not a mémber of the West Hudsons, but of the Brooklyn football club. He is mere- ly making this trip with the Jersey crowd for the fun of it. The Howard and Bulloughs were put out of the cup competition by Fall River last Saturday, score 2—0. The standing of the National Soccer League as published Monday morning is: Jersey Athletic Club, first, 11 points; True Blues and Bronx Uniteds tied with 10 points each; West Hudsons and Wil- berforce tied with 9 points each. Local Teams Should Win. The St. Leos made a good showing at the start of their trip into the enemy’s country last year and had the men at- tended to playing the game instead of to the side lights on the trip might have won a majority of contests. In their home grounds and with the visiting elevens not showing to their form of last season either the St. Leos or the Innisfails have a good chance to beat the visitors. _St. Louis U. Outdone, Mound City sport promoters in the football world are making a record this season for bringing teams from the Far East in order to entertain the local fol- lowers, The St. Louis University, on Thanksgiving day- brought the Holy Cross College team from ‘Worcester, Mass., to meet the Billikens at Rugby, or college football, as it is known, at Sportsman’s Park. The Massachusetts team traveled 1150 miles each way to play this one game. The Soccer League goes the university some 6 miles better ness’ insinuations, comes across with the idea that perhaps the baseball man theory is not so strong after all. He points out that the Boston Red Sox team which won the pennant under the guidance of the once great player Jim McAleer, is in so bad in Boston that nothing but its playing prestige can get it “by” next year. * . 2 BOSTON SORE AT MeROY. E points out that a “shrewd bust- ness man’”’ would never have soe an- tagonized the Boston citizens as te cause the Mayor of the city to indignantly demand the resignation of the se tary of the club; nor so poorly ‘have handled a world's series situation that on the last and deciding game of the battles with the Gtants only half the park's seats were occupied, There is not the slightest doubt in the world that, to the Boston fans of teday, the Red Sox management has an atmos- phere, all its own, as af something dead and not yet buried, This condition gould never have come to pass, the magnate aeserta, had base- ball brains been. guided by business acumen. * * * aw may or may not be true, When it comes to buying baseball clubs’ stock, however, We may safely side with Robert Lee Hedges, Charies Webb Mur- phy and other accomplished representa- tives of big business. Hedges ran $50,- 000 into $500,000 in 10 years and that’s a good enough recommendation. And as for business men not winning pennants—why cast a lamp over the history of C. W. Murphy of the Cubs and count "erm. * a * THE MILITANT SPIRIT.

T, Knapp of the Forty-ninth District of Minnesota, A. Rudd of New London and Albert W. Keane «f£ New Bedford, Mass.

THE JARR FAMILY Masters Jarr and Rangle have a scheme to intim- idate Santa Claus. HATCHA going to get for Christmas?” asked Johnny Rangle as he waited, with his little sistsr, for the Jarr “I ain’t going to tell you because you’d want to get what I’m going to get,”” replied Master Jarr. “Aw, go on! Tell me whatcha goin’ to get!"’ repeated young Mr. Rangle. “I’m going to get a doll and a set of dishes and a doll house’’"—began little Miss Jarr while little Miss Rangle broke in upon her rhapsodies by raising her voice an octave and shouting: “You ain’t! You ain't!” “Why ain't I? asked little Miss Jarr. “Because I wrote myself to Santy Claus for a doll and a set of dishes and a doll house and a doll baby car- riage’’—— : “And a toy plano and a pink plush piggie!’’ chimed ia little Miss Jarr. “I eaw the pink plush piggies when I was in the stores with my mamma!” “Did Santy Claus have the pink pig- gies?’’ asked little Miss Rangle, now aroused to some intersst in what her playmate was hoping’ to get. “Aw, there ain’t’—young Mr. Jarr looked carefully. around and then sunk his voice to a defiant whisper—‘‘no San- ty Claus!" ” —

He owned the Mississippi. When I became of age he gave it to me, but I didn’t Uxe it and I let it run. “Don’t I play with great technique?

‘Only girls believe in Santy Claus!’’ was the opinion of Master Rangle. “Yah! Yah! If you don’t believe in Santy Claus you don’t get nothing, you bed boys,” cried little Emma Jarr. “We didn't say we didn’t B’LIEVE there wasn’t no Santy Claus,’’ replied brother Willie. We only said there wasn’t any.” “Well, it’s wicked and naughty to say that!’ ventured littls Miss Rangie, “I'm going to get a tree with ‘lectric lights, an’ candy, an’ chewin’ gum, an’ — “But I saw Santy Claus. I saw him in every store mamma and me went into, an’ I saw him ringing a bell by a chimney on a lot of street corners, an‘ I talked to him and told him what I wanted!" cried ths ever faithful little Miss Jarr. “Old. Mrs. Dusenberry says there is a Santy Claus, ’cause she seed him, too, out in the country, when she was a little girl.” “Only he’s very poor this winter. My mamma told me so,” said the other true believer, little Miss Rangle. “Of course, he’s poor,’’ said little Miss Jarr. “I saw him shivering when he rung the bell by the chimney, and he told my mamma he had two little girls and a little boy, and he only: got — “But rich people has rich Santy Clauses,”” propounded Master Jarr. “I know a boy what lives in a big apart- ment house and he’s going to get an electric train and a little automobile. A little automobile, but a rea) one!’ “The thing to do is to write to a rich Santy Claus then,’’ suggested Johnny Rangle. ‘“What’s the use to write to a poor Santy Claus?”’ . “But one Santy Claus I saw was fat,” volunteered little Miss Jarr. ‘‘He lives in a big store, and he said to me ‘Howdy do, little girl?’ and he said to my mam- ma: “Toy department, sixth floor, ma’am. Special reductions today in toys and games!’ ”’ “My pop told me to write Santy Claus for an overcoat and a new pair of shoes,” said Master Jarr. ‘‘But, shucks! Them ain't Christmas gifts. You can get them things any time.”’ “That's why I don’t believe there's any Santy Claus,” remarked the skeptical Master Rangle. “My maw said Santy Claus was only for little giris.”’ “Bo he is!

of the fate of the juvenile unbeliever. Master Jarr whispered to his chum. “Sh-sh! Don’t let the girls hear; they’re tattle tales!” advised Master Rangle. “But, gee! That's the thing to do!’’ **You’re afraid!’’ — Willie Jarr. “I ain’t afraid; neither!““ replied the other little boy. .“‘But I'll tell you the best way!’’ And in turn he whispered. Master Jarr shook his head in quick affirmation and consent. In consequence Santa Claus was sur- prised to receive two Black Hand let- ters. Dire things will befall him unless two small boys receive certain desirable Christmas gifts. The letters must be genuine, because the one naming Willie Jarr as a beneficiary was in a strange handwriting. And the other letter nam- ing Johnny Rangle was in script also unknown to both the boys’ parents and oli Father Christmas as well. A Hurry Call.
