After receiving a petition requesting him to run for the Democratic nomina- tion for Mayor, signed by many promi- nent business and professional men, for- mer City Councilman Saunders Norvell told a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday that he would issue a formal reply to the petition Friday. He said he wished to give the matter a careful considera- tion and take proper time in whjch to prepare his answer. The petition was presented to Norvell at his home, 9 Kingsbury place, Monday night, by former Mayor Rolla Wells, whose name headed the list of signers. Wells said that he was instrumental in having the petition circulated among business and professional men. “I told Mr. Norvell that the petition spoke for itself,” said the former Mayor to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “I informed Mr. Norvell, however, that as a citizen of St. Louis, it' gave me great satisfac- tion to be the bearer of the petition. I told him further that I felt that if he should accept the call and should be elected: Mayor, he would assume the re- sponsibility and duties in a strictly independent spirit.

SHIP, AGROUND IN SNOWSTORM, HAS A. PASSENGERS Wireless Brings Aid to Fruit Steamer, Stranded on Bar- negat Sands. a

SANDY Y HOOK, N. J., Dec. 24.—Nosing her way through a blinding snowstorm, the steamship Turrialba of the United Fruit Cempany’s line, went hard aground today on the sandy wastes of the Jersey shore line, between Barne- gat and Atlantic City. A stiff north- west gale was blowing but this after- noon word was received from the vessel by wireless that she was resting easily. The vessel carries nearly 60 passengers and wrecking tugs, life savers and the United States revenue cutter Seneca, started for the scene at once. The weather was so thick, however, that the rescuers had trouble in finding the stranded ship and the Seneca, putting out from New York under forced draft, reported by wireless that she would have to proceed cautiously. . The Turrialbe’s plight first became known in a wireless message from Capt. Lindsay, her commander. Capt. John 8. Cole, superintendent of the life-saving district, ordered five crews to the scene of the grounding, but none was able to reach the vesvel, ow- ing to the high sea. The revenue cut- ter Seneca reported by wireless that she was clope at hand. The stranded vessel lies on one of the worst portions of a dangerous stretch of coast, about three miles off the little beach life-saving sta- tion. . A-wireless from the Turrialla was received shortly before noon as fol- lows: “Not taking.on any. water anywhere. * resting easily. Strong gale contin-

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Wireless oper- ators here say that the death of an operator in the German wireless sta- tion at Norddeich, near the North Sea, ‘on Sunday, is probably the first case on record of a wireless operator being killed at his post. The Berlin dispatches indicated that the operator, a man named Mueller, must have carelessly come in contact with the wires employed for the con- nection of electric waves, which are charged with such powerful voltage that death comes instantaneously to any one touching them. 18 PERSONS ARE Hun: IN RAILROAD WRECK Engineer and 5 Cars of Stock Train From 8t.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Ajl the Vassar girls are more than usually proud today because they know they brought Christ- mas cheer to one poor mother. — One year ago Mrs. John “Williams of Albany found herself so poor that she was compelled to place her six-month- old baby in a charitable home here, Her husband had died a few weeks before, and, although almost penniless, she was able to make a small payment weekly towards the support of the child.. Then the payments ceased and nothing more was heard of the mother. Two months ago a New York couple applied to a charity organization to adopt a baby, a country baby preferred. A requisition was made on Albany and Baby Williams was sent to New York. Bn route he picked up a’ smashing case of whooping cough and the. young man's adoption was delayed until he got well.

LOST IN SPECULATION Became: a Scrub Woman—Re- cently Fell Downstairs, Had Threatened to End Life. Unexplained circumstances surround- ing the death of a woman known at her lodging place, 1221 Chestnut street, as Mrs. Lillian Lawrence, but said to {be the widow of a rich Chicago stock and grain speculator, have caused Coro- ner Padberg to order an autopsy to de- termine the cause of death. Mrs. Elsie Pruitt, keeper of the lodg- ing house, says “Mrs. Lawrence’ was, in reality, Mrs. Lillian Langdon and that her husband, Charles Langdon, be- fore embarking in the stock and grain brokerage business, was prominently connected with the Armour Packing Co. Found Dead in Bed, Mrs. Pruitt found Mrs. Langdon dead ‘n bed tn her second floor front room at 5:45 p. m., Monday. She had on her ‘oat and hat and a coal ofl lamp, burn- ing dimly, was on a table near the bed. Though Mrs. Langdon several times had spoken of ending her life, and had once said that she would kil herself if she had the nerve, there was no out- ward evidence of self-destruction. A thorough. search of the room fafled to reveal a bottle or package which might have contained poison. Gorrowed a Dime. A week ago Mrs. Langdon fell whfle mounting the stairs at the rooming 1ouse. Her right arm was broken. After this accident she had frequent ,emorrhages at the nose and com- jlained of a constant pain in the back of her head. At 8:30 a. m. Monday Mrs, Langdon Sorrowed a dime from Mrs. Cora Judy, nother roomer. This dime was not found among her effects, but Inquiry at drug stores in the neighborhood iid not bear out a theory hel@ by some of the roomers that she had bought poison with it. Mrs. Pruitt has known Mrs. Lang- don since she came to St. Louis about seven years ago. At that time she _told Mrs, Pruitt that her husband had been dead a year. Concealed Identity. Mrs. Langdon, who was 45 years old, said her husband left her a large estate but that she had lost the money in trying to follow in his footsteps as @ speculator in stocks and grain. She told Mrs. Pruitt that she lost §10,- 000 in one deal and that ‘she had pawned her diamonds to get more money with which to speculate. She lost this money also and was penni- less when she came to St. Louis, To conceal her identity she took the hame “Lillian Lawrence’ and became a kitchen helper at the Southern Hotel. She learned to drink, and after losing her place in the kitchen she became a scrubwoman. Recently Mrs. Langdon told Mrs, Pruitt she had the “blues” and wished she was dead. She wrote a note in which she said that if anything hap- pened to her she wanted Mrs. Pruitt to take charge of her body. At the same time she complained of the pain at the base of the skull, which had been worrying her since her fall down- stairs.

Ohristmas Present. Among Mra. Langdon’s effects was found a letter written to her and digned “Aunt Frank.” It inclosed a handkerchief as a Christmas wresent. A return notice on the envelope showed the letter was from Mrs. John Graham of Buchanan, Mich. In the letter the aunt sald she would be visiting at 315 Belden avenue, Chica: go, on Christmas day. Mrs. Pruitt has wired Mrs. Graham, notifying her of Mrs. Langdon’s death. An inquest will be necessary to tell whether Mrs. Langdon took her own life or died as a result of the fall down- stairs, which caused the pain at the back of her head. A pain of this sort is one of the symptoms of skull frac- ture, physicians say. BLIND BOY MADE TO SEE, ' CALLS IT BEST GIFT Christmas : Exultation in Home Where He for First Time Sees Mother.

OFTEN IN MONEY TROUBLE — — Saif’ to Have Given Worthless Paper for Board——Checks Once Repudiated by Employer. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau cf the Post-Dispatch. NHW YORK, Dec. 2%.—Eugene H. Schlange, formerly of St. Louis, who has had a prismatic career, in which he has spent several fortunes, is held at Newark, N. J., on a charge of forg> ery. He was accused of the same crime in 1909, about four months after his wife, who was Miss Liliy Schubert of St. Loule, a prize winner in a beauty con- test, had divorced him. She obtained a decree 17 minutes after her testimony had begun. She got the custody of her year-old daughter. Mrs. Schiange aft- erward was married to Harry Troll, re- cently Public Administrator of St. Louis. Schlange was formerly a member of Echlange & Sons, leaf tobacco déalers of St. Louls, and was prominent socially there. He is a graduate of the St. Louis and Cornell universities. Last summer an announcement that he would marry Miss Lillian M. Wolff of 662 Hunterton street, Newark, N. J., was published in an Asbury Fark paper, Miss Wolff's mother being a summer resident of that resort. The news also was published in St. Louls and made a stir in social circles there. Through the publicity Miss Wolff and her family learned of Schlange’s marriage and divorce. Marriage Postponed. On the day before that set for the wed- ding, at the Church of the Blessed Sac- rament of Newark, the Rev. Frederic O’Neal, who was to have officiated, an- nounced the indefinite postpofiement of the ceremony. Schilange is now accused of having given a worthless check for $49.08 to William H. Boyden of 4 William street, last September in payment of a board bill. He was arrested in November in this city and extradition papers were issued. He was taken to Newark yes- terday. The Newark police say Schlange was convicted on the first forgery charge and served a term in the Rahway re- formatory. He had been a bookkeeper for F. Matts, manufacturer of automo- bile tops. One day Matts went to the Union National. Bank to transact some business and was told that he had over- drawn. Matts was dumbfounded. : Signatures Repudiated. Checks against his account were brought out, They were largely in favor of Eugene H. Schlange and apparently had been signed by Matts. He repudi- uted the signatures. When a warrant charging forgery was presented to the police they produced a circular they had just received from New York, annotnc- ing the police of this city wanted Schlange. Next came a demand from the Pinkertons, as agents of the Bank- ers’ Association, that Schlange be ar- rested on sight. The New York and Pinkerton alarms were due to checks that had been passed upon William T. Peach & Co., of 239 Broadway, and the proprietor of the no- tel Brotzell, West Twenty-seventh street, “Gene” Schlange, as he was known to his St. Louls acquaintances when he lived here a few years ago, was noted as a spender. In 1908 he received $60,- 000 from his mother’s estate. In her di- vorce suit in the following year, Mrs. Schlange, winner of two beauty con- test prizes, charged non-support. . Schlange was a bDbiond, of athiectic pufld. He was interested in theatrical attractions and spent a large part of his fortune in backing a road company headed by Richard Carlie, which he ac- companied from place to place. When his money was gone Schlange went East and got work as a bhook- heeper. ACCUSED MAN FLEES IN HYDROAEROPLANE Vicksburg Hotel Keeper Fails to Return from Trip With Jannus. VICKSBURG, Miss., Dec.

NEW YORK, Dec. MA. — “Gathel around, me hearties; shiver yer tim- bers and blarst yer deadlights and listen te the yarn about the old hooker Foxton Hall, just in from a 12,000-mile voyage an’ about young Willie Gee, which the same she brought along of her. ‘There he is. now, the grinning’ little monkey! And where d’ye think we got him? A hundred miles out in the Caribbean! An’ what was he a-doin out there? Why, a floatin’ along in a big coccanut tree, an’ all in he was, too, as you Yankees say, what with no food for a couple o° days but one green cocoanut an’ a lot o’ salt water washed into his skinny little black car- casa. “But yer fat an’ sassy now, hain’t yer, Willie, with yer white grinders showin’ an’ yer dorg at yer heels? Discovery of Willie. “It was Coronel where we started from, ‘way down on th’ other side o’ South America. When we got near the Wind’ard Passage Skipper Parker says: ‘There's been a bit of blow about here, I sh'd say.’ The bloomin’ ocean was filled with bits o’ wood and trees, an’ here an’ there cocoanuts an’ bunches o’ bananas. Th’ First (that’s Mr. Mike Donnelly) was a-lookin’ through his glasses along about six bells in the efternoon watch, when all of a sudden ho says: “ ‘Strike me if here ain’t a queer go! Here’s a ripper of an old coccanut tree, an’ there’s somethin’ a-hangin’ to it, else my eyes has gone wrong.’ “An’ the skipper he takes a look, too, an’ he points the old hooker’s nose over that way, an’ we run along side the tree, an’ ..ow me proper for a blub- ber if it ain’t a nigger kid! “The First calls for a crew and low- ers a boat an’ pulls over for the tree, an’ there’s what he picks off. That bloomin’ pickaninny! “Well, sir, when they brings him aboard, he’s skin an’ bones an’ no more. But we perks him up with a bit o brandy an’ some hot soup an’ pretty soon he gets to talkin’.

INDICTED RAILWAY CHEFS PLEAD NOT GUILTY, GIVE BOND By Associated Press, - NEW YORK, Dec. %&~—Chariles Mel- len, president of the New York, New Haven & ‘Hartford Railroad Co., and E. J. Chamberlain, president of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, in-]} dicted yesterday for criminal violation of the Sherman law, entered pleas of not guilty today and were released in $10,- 000 bail each. They were given until January 6 to change their pleas if they suspicion of ing should so desire. The penalty, upon conviction, is one year in jail, a fine of $5000, or both. Frank L. Crawford, Chamberlain's counsel, said: “No jury will ever con- vict my client. The only reason why the work on the Grand Trunk extension was abandoned was because of high money rates. We are gure of acquittal.” Mellen declined to make a statement. The .Government’s charge is, in ef-, fect, that the defendants entered into an illegal monopoly agreement, the re- sult of whiclr was to stop the don- struction of Grand Trunk extensions into New England. Counsel for the Government said that no word had been received from any representatives of the Grand ‘Trunk as to whether Alfred W. Smithers, chairman of the Grand Trunk Board of , where t Directors, indicted with Mellen and] been shipwrecked on the Chamberlain would appear to plead. ca. — She is survived by eigh S., Anthony, Henry St. Louis; Martin of previous outrages, was f

By Associated Prose KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 24.—Walter ” Peeve Passengers Craw] Under |: Seats When Robber Holds Up Conductor in Oklahoma. “Daniels, a negro porter of Kansas City, gaved the valuable consignments fn the “through safe’ of the express car o ' Bt Louis & San Francisco train No 112, Oklahoma City to Kansas City the . train who arrived here today. Daniels shot and killed a negro bandit while he was robbing the express. According to passengers. the robber got on the train as it left Chandler, about 9 o'clock. » He first entered th« car, where he held up the con @uctor, took his watch and money an: , compelled him to lead the way to th * express car. The robber had forced th: express messenger and conducto to open a small safe containing little o. value and was trying to force them tc _ open the larger safe, when Daniels, whc had obtained a revolver from a passen ger, shot him in the back. Several shots were exchanged befor W. 8S. Gorson, a private detective, r inforced the porter. Wounded, the ba: dit fired wildly from the floor. Eightece shots were fired before the negro la. still, The body, unidentified, was take: back to Chandler. “That porter was the only one of u: not scared to death,” said George Peter gon of Tulsa, a passenger, who was i. the chair car when the bandit held up the conductor. “The porter sneaked tnto the next car and got a revolver while the rest of us were under the seats. As he came back following the ‘holdup man to the express car he asked somebody with a revolver to come and help him. No one in the car seemed to have One. The bandit paid no attention to passengers.

GOOD WILL TO AMERICANS a3 Monsignor Kennedy Conveys From Rome Greetings From the Holy Father. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2%—~Mar. | Thomas F. Kennedy, head of the Amer- - fean College at Rome, who is here, said today: “His Holiness, the Pope, wishes to - @xtend his greetings to the American _ Cardinals and the American people. This “Not only on the occasion of Christ- Pope remember the Amert- They are foremost in his all times. All the well that could possibly make this the year a joyful one for the ‘ ery. 7 He was accused of the same crime in 1909, about four months after his wife, who was Miss Lilly Schubert of St. Louls, a prize winner in a beauty con- test, had divorced him. She obtained a decree 17 minutes after her testimony | had begun. She got the custody of her year-old daughter. Mrs. Schiange aft- erward was married to Harry Troll, re- cently Public Administrator of St. Louis. Schlange was formerly a member of Echlange & Sons, leaf tobacco déalers of St. Louls, and was prominent socially there. He is a graduate of the St. Louis and Cornell universities. Last summer an announcement that he would marry Miss Lillian M. Wolff of 662 Hunterton street, Newark, N. J., was published in an Asbury Fark paper, Miss Wolff's mother being a summer resident of that resort. The news also was published in St. Louls and made a stir in social circles there. Through the publicity Miss Wolff and her family learned of Schiange’s marriage and divorce. Marriage Postponed. On the day before that set for the wed- ding, at the Church of the Blessed Sac- rament of Newark, the Rey. Frederic O’Neal, who was to have officiated, an- nounced the indefinite postpofiement of the ceremony. Schlange is now accused of having given a worthless check for $49.08 to William H. Boyden of 4 William street, last September in payment of a board bill. He was arrested in November in this city and extradition papers were issued. He was taken to Newark yes- terday. The Newark police say Schlange was convicted. on the first forgery charge and served a term in the Rahway re- formatory. He had been a bookkeeper for F. Matts, manufacturer of automo- bile tops. One day Matts went to the Union National Bank to transact some business and was told that he had over- } drawn. Matts was dumbfounded. Signatures Repudiated. Checks against his account were brought out. They were largely in favor of Eugene H. Schlange and apparently had been signed by Matts. He repudi- uted the signatures. When a warrant charging forgery was presented to the police they produced a circular they had just received from New York, announc- ing the police of this city wanted Schilange. Next came a demand from the Pinkertons, as agents of the Bank- ers’ Association, that Schlange be ar- rested on sight. The New York and Pinkerton alarms were due to checks that had been passed upon William T. Peach & Co., of 239 Broadway, and the proprietor of the no- tel Brotzell, West Twenty-seventh street, “Gene” Schlange, as he was known to his St. Louls acquaintances when he lived here a few years ago, was noted ag & spender.

FOR vow DOLLS GIVEN FOR CHRISTMAS FUND Quartet Dressed by Rubicam School Students to Be Sold to Highest Bidders. $25 OFFERED FOR ONE They Are Such Beauties That Price Would Be Cheap—On View at Post-Dispatch. The four prettiest and proudest dolls in ‘St. Louis are holding a re- ception in the window of the Post- Dispatch office. Anyone can see at a glance that they are the prettiest, ani a second glance will suffice to explain their pride. It is their clothes that make them proud. well dressed, when it is known that about a hundred students of the Rubicam Business School, 4933 Del- mar avenue, contributed their deftest efforts to the creation of the ward- robes of Anne Rex Rubicam, Eliza- beth Rubicam, Helen Ross and Jessie Kerwin, for these are the names of the quartet. _ One Is a Bride. Helen Ross is a bride and never a bride was arrayed like Helen Ross. Class? Well, some, Jessie Kerwin is her flower girl and a very daintv thing is Jessie. Anne and Elizabeth are just as wonderfully adorned, in their way, as Helen Ross. And Anne, in addition to the beautiful gown that she wears, has a suitcase filled with a bewildering lot of things that would make any feminine heart flut- ter. The dolls are the offering of ‘the students of the Rubicam School fo]. the Christmas Festival. At the sug- gestion of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Hicks, Miss Helen Ross, the principal, ana the teachers have encouraged the students in dréssing the dolls as dolls never were dressed before. To Be Sold to Highest Bidders. They are to be sold to the highest bidders and the bidding will have to be fast and furious, as Christmas is right here and they will not be held long. Already a bid of $25 has been made for Anne Rex and her outfit and it would be like giving her away to let her go at a price like that. Her clothes are worth more than that, and Anne ‘herself would be an important addition to any family. Ten dollars has been bid for Elizabeth. The dolls were dressed by the classes of Miss Hilkenbaumer, Miss Ross and Miss Kerwin. The dolls were guests of honor at a Christmas entertainment given Monday night at the school, which was attended by more than 700 students and their friends. The students gave a play and the music was by the Ables Mandolin Club. In a voting contest for the most popular dolls the bride and her flower girl won. At the branch school Grand avenue and Arsenal street, 3 smaller dolls were dressed by the stu- dents and six half-bushel baskets cf toys, books and candy were gathered and a cash contribution was made for a Christmas treat at the poorhouse.

« PULLMAN COMPANY TO RAISE PAY OF CLERKS Increase Ranges From 6 to 12 Per Cent of Present Wages. CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—Every clerk in the employ of the Pullman.Co. in the United States will receive as a Christmas gift a raise in salary. The formal notice will be received by each in his Christmas mail. The increase ranges from 6 per cent to the highest paid clerks, to 12 per cent for the lowest. Thousands of employes are affected, 1200 of whom re- side in this city. The action, entirely voluntary’ on the part of the company, will increase its annual pay roll hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to President John 8. Runnells. The increase does not af- fect officials, mechanics or car em- ployes, who were granted raises in pay several months ago. “This Christmas remembrance is in- tended to benefit a class of men whom the high cost of living hits the hardest,’’ said President Runnels. “They have no way of protecting themselves from the constantly rising cost of every article they buy.”

- ESCAPE LOOTLESS Four Men Board Train Near Springfield, Fail, in 45 Min- utes to Blow Safe. IVANISH AS POSSE ARRIVES Robbers Fired on as They Flee With Bonds and Lottery Tic- kets, and Return Fire. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. %—Four men, masked and heavily armed, held up the Alton Hummer, bound from Chi- cago to Kansas. City, eafly today at Iles Crossing, three miles south of this city, and after four unsuccessful ef- forts to blow open the safe of the ex- press car, fled before a Sheriff's posse, their only booty being a package of bonds and some lottery tickets, The robbers spent 45 minutes in their efforts to get into the safe, which coh-~- tained valuables worth perhaps $50,000 and during this time the engineer and firemah were guarded and shots were fired along the sides of the cars to pre- vent interference by the passengers, No : attempt to rob the passengers was made. The Hummer passed through this city at 11.20 and a few minutes leter slowed dowh at the crossing at Iles. As the train stopped, two men clambered over the tender, holding q@ revolver in eath hand, and covered the engineer, Frank McLaughlin, and his fireman, W. A. Sullivan. both of Bloomington. Me- Laughlin was told to start the train and Keep it going until he was ordered to stop. He ran two miles south of Lies, when he was forced to~-stop. One Man Watches Engineer. One robber guarced the engineer while the other forced Sullivan to get down and tncouple the express car. He did so, and as he stepped back remarked he had not disconnected the air and the heating pipes. “Never mind that; let the engine break them,’’ his guard ordered, and he signaled,j0 his companion in the en- gine cab.. The engine pulled up 75 feet, breaking the pipes, and was stopped again. Two other robbers, who are believed te have been riding on the express car ‘platform, appeared at this moment, one of them carrying a bag containing ex- plosives. Sullivan was ordered to open the express car and as he did so he was ordered inside. The robber with the explosives and the one guarding him climbed in after him. The express mes- senger, Fred Ayres, was forced to hold up his hands. The remaining robber went back to the coaches and fired whenever a passenger or member of the train crew appeared. When the air pipes broke Horace Smith of Chicago, flagman, ran out on the platform to investigate and some shots were fired at him. He re-entered the car and dropped from the rear coach and disappeared in the direction lof Iles, where he telegraphed the alarm to this city. Meanwhile the robbers were trying desperately to open the safe. A charge of dynamite first was placed under it, but it failed to damage the strong box and a larger charge was tried. When this failed the robber who was doing the blasting, soaped the cracks of the safe and poured nitroglycerin into them. This was set off and it proved equally ineffective. | Posse Arrives on Engine. A second charge of the liquid was tried without avail and the robbers were cursing at their failure when a lookout outside gave the alarm that a locomotive was approaching. It was the switch engine which the flagman had stmmoned from this city and it bore Sheriff Mester, Chief of Police John H. Underwood and a posse of a dozeh or more armed men. | One of the robbers seized a bag which lay In a corner of the car and: contained bonds of the Long-Bell Lumber Co. of Sheboygan, Wis. Carrying this plunder, ali dashed across an open field and vould be seen plainly in the moonlight. A short distance away they opened the bag, took some of the bonds and tickets and threw the sack away. The pursuers dashed up in time to fire some shots at the fugitives and the shots were returned, but the range was sv great that none of the bullets hit its mark. The holdup men vanished and it is believed they made their way -to this city. The train was délayed more than two hours, which was consumed in the holdup, the pursuit by the Sheriff and the bringing back of the engine and coupling the train again. The breaking of the pipes set the air brakes and these had to be repaired before the train could proceed. Members of the train crew assert there was little excitement among the passen- gers and that some of those in the sleeper ‘were not aroused by the shots. Red Light on Dome of Illinol itol Flashed Warning of Hol ens : KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. &4.—Mem- bers of the crew and passengers told thrilling stories of the holdup of the Chicago & Alton Hunmimer when the train arrived here at 10:30 today.

a rad SMMC Oo&dattntoner Lather ‘dedi? Ee? Gciiaier of the aontvol. of the water-borne domestic traffic of the United States, adds precise and important information on a subject on which the public’s general knowledge was already voluminous. The domestic navigation companies in which railroad ownership predominates have a total capi- Ital of $84,608,262. On the Great Lakes, the ton- nage controlled by the railroads and controlled by or affiliated with the Street Trust constitutes by far the greater porticn of the total freight tonnage. On the Eastern seaboard, railroad con- trol of coastwise traffic is practically complete. The Pacific Coast is not without useful indepen- dent lines, though the vessel interests of the rail- roads are most powerful. Railroads control Erie Canal traffic to a greater extent than is generally supposed. However, the very existence of the ‘ | canal helps 1> keep down rates. Of the remaining private canals in this country, the railroads own 90 per cent of the mileage. Twenty railroad systems control a total of 810,- 000 tons of shipping engaged in coastwise traffic. That such a situation has been permitted to be yerpetuated to the very. eve of the Panama water- way’s opening is discreditable to Congress. That body, realizing that the isthmian route makes possible an even more formidable combine of rail- road and vessel interests, has attempted to deal with the situation in a superficial way “by pro- hibiting the passage of railroad-owned ships through the canal. An ounce of prevention may be worth a pound of cure in dealing with the threatened greater combine, but the general — lem demands fundamental remedies. The report relates only to definite and tangible agencies utilized by the railroads in withholding from the people the benefits of the waters. It does not touch on secret and intangible influences. | Railroads fought the Panama project for years. They destroyed the traffic of the internal rivers. Their influence today explains the chief resistance tc an adequate and comprehensive plan of river improvement. Selfish alliances between land and water transportation facilities must be broken up. Interior waterways must be given a depth mak- ing them real competitors with the railroads. ha A — 3— ~~ mh Messrs. Mellen, Chamberlain and Smithers must be convinced of the wisdom of the “safety first” rule in traffic agreements as well as in the opera- tion of rolling stock.

i hi ti rT er MELLEN’S INDICTMENT. The indictments returned by a Federal Grand Jury yesterday against President Mellen of the New Haven, President Chamberlain of the Grand Trunk and Chairman Smithers of the Grand Trunk’s boara of directors, will show whether the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law can ba enforced. The offense for which Mr. Mellen and Mr. Chamberiain were indicted is recent. The statute of limitations has not intervened, as in Sugar Trust cases. The acts complained of did not be- gin at a time when the Goverrment was making no sincere attempt to enforce the law, as in the Beef Trust case. No pr-sidential license was is- sued, as in the Steel Trust case. No claim of immunity can be set up because cf anything done by the Bureau of Corporations or the Interstate Commerce Gommission. It is said that juries will not convict repectable business men who violate the Sherman law. We shal] know more about that after the courts have finished with the responsible men of New Haven and the Grand Trunk. If the evidence fully sus- tains the indictment and the jury refuses to con- vict, a crisis will have been reached which will necessitate a radical revision of the Anti-Trust act. On the other hand if Mr. Mellen and Mr. Cham- berlain are convicted, the law will have demon- strated its power and its efficiency. The verdict q* the jury will be written in letters of fire in the og of every would-be monopolist in the coun-

A ye SAVING ON OITY CONTRACTS. A letter writer complains that the police un!- forms are made outside St. Louis, and urges that St. Louis labor should have all the profit that might come to it on this and other city contracts, The claim appears reasonable, but on careful consideration it is seen to be contrary to public policy, looking at the city as a community en- gaged in business, and not as a collection of unconnected individuals and elements. The garment worker or other wage earner is also a taxpayer, and it is to his interest as a taxpayer that the city get its contracts filled at the lowest cost. Whatever is put into his pocket as & Wage earner under a costly contract, filled locally, is taken out of hie pocket, at least in part, as a taxpayer who must help pay the bills. And if every city should adopt the policy of building a Chinese wall around its contract sys- tem, using only local talent and labor in filling contracts, a St. Louls manufacturer would be

It is a matter of business and bookkeeping, and in the long run the workers of the different cities would probably find things evened up by the filling of contracts under bids permissible| ‘™*

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. At the Equal Suffrage luncheon at Faust’s on Wednesday the I8th, Mme. Malmberg, the Fin- nish exile, said, in speaking of ‘Russia, that that country wéuld probdbly ask for a loan in the near future from the United States, and she expressed the hope that our Government would refuse to finance Russia, “the land of oppression.” It is the land of oppression—and suppression, I sup- pose, from what I have heard and read, but that point has nothing to do with the loan, or with Mme. Malmberg’s request in the matter, which was that the Government of the United States should refuse the money asked by Russia. She assumed that our Government lends to an- other Government when bonds are issued. As far as I know, nothing of the kind occurs. The bonds are issued and offered for sale, and any individ- ual or corporation buys them at his or their in- dividual risk, and as a financial investment—not ana political or ethical indorsement. I quote Mme. Malmberg merely to show in pass- ing, the colossal ignorance of even well educated ‘women in politico-financial matter. Neither she nor the other women of the Equal Suffrage

luncheon gave any evidence of knowing on what = basis a national loan is issued and financed and such a proposition is one of the simplest of the matters to be understood by those who are to take a hand in politics. MARY T. AITCHWARD. (You are probably mistaken in thinking that Mme. Malmberg said our Government should re- fuse a loan to Russia. News reports state that she used the words “your country” or “your ccuntrymen.” It is probable that she is aware of the fact that loans of this character are made through financiers.—Ed. P.-D.) A’‘Oourteus Ooroner. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I notice lately that when an automobile kills a@ person and the driver is arrested, the new Coroner sends a note to the police requesting the prisoner’s release, and this is done apparently without the Coroner seeing the prisoner. I want to ask the Post-Dispatch if the Coroner is with- in the law when he issues this order and also if he intends to continue this practice in future and if it will apply in all cases where a person is killed. : JUSTICE. Norvell’s Pitness. for Office. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is a pleasure to read the splendid eulogies of the ardent champions of the several drafted candidates for Mayor of your “Good Old City.” When the call for business men to participate is so often heard, why not heed it by nominating Mr. Saunders Norvell? He is as good as elected when that is done. A man that can make all of his business and literary efforts reach the point of magnitude his have done, is the man your city can truly be proud of. Mr. Norvell can fill the place or any other place. Yes, even though Mr. Woodrow Wilson called him to Washington to become Secretary of Commerce in his Cabinet, he would make no mistake, I am a Republican, but will delight in the elec- tion of Mr. Norvell to the Mayoralty if fate so decrees, JOHN H. DIETRICH. Valley Park, Mo. Compulsory ‘‘Good Fellowship.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the offices of large corporations, chiefly rail- road offices, there are cases of compulsory “good fcllowship’~ that ghould be stopped and that would be stopped if the clerks had a spark of “God's greatest gift,” common sense and a little pluck. Take an official of a railroad company to whom the company is practically paying a pen- sion aggregating from $5000 to $10,000 annually. Now the “Cheese Champion” of his office is called the chief clerk and just for attaining that title he receives a grand total of $99 per month. The pay day just before Christmas the champion starts a list headed off by his name to purchase a present for His Royal Highness, the boss. Of course it is all to the flower path for the chief clerk because he spends a week or so preparing the presentation speech for his nobs, and of course receives the personal thanks from the re- ceiver, which compels him to have the buttons on his vest moved over an inch or so. Now under him are from 60 to 100 clerks tolling dally for $50 to $66 a month. The list naturally reaches these “poor simps” and in order to please their chief and nbdt jeopardise their jobs (for they are not positions) they fall for a donation of from 25 cents to 50 cents each to buy a present for a man who receives $6000 to $10,000 annually. True good fellowship, is it not? A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE NEEDFUL Return Lost Articles and Be at Ease, To the Editor ot the Post-Dispatch. Isn’t there some way, I wonder, at this Christ- mas season, to appeal to the honesty of people who find lost articles, to cause them to make some small effort to return such articles to the owners? Wouldn’t it be much better to return lost articles and receive a rightful reward, whiaqh the finder can keep with a clear conscience, than to carry, for instance, a watch bearing the own- er’s monogram, which one must feel in constant fear of exposing? A clear conscience is certain- ly worth much. And keeping lost articles which have been advertised again and again is nothing more nor less ‘than steeling. These lost articles may be keepsakes from those who are gone for- ever and of inestimable value to the loser, while y are gurely- of little value to athers. I trust this letter may be the means of mak- ing someone think and return what has been fcund on the car or the street, even though I do not receive my own watch—the loss of which has spolied my whole holiday season—as no other watch could take its place. And I daresay many another feels the same about things they have lost. LACHRYMOSBE. **¥foneymoon’’ Folly. To the Bdttor ef the Post-Dispatch, The press seems to have & queer idea of the meaning of the word “honeymoon.” For instance, we read of some fair divorcee going on her “seo- onda” honeymoon.

ae a * TNGRATEFUL MR HOWE. Ed Howe in American Magazine. When a woman has charge of a sick man, she feels as important as the ma>- shal of the day at a country Fourth of July celebration, and, however amiable she may be at other times,,she is very “bossy” when she has medicine to give @ man, or lotions to put on him; if tte wants a drink of water, she expresses the opinion that he is drinking too much, and remembers that her aunt Har- riet’s husband once drank a great de! when he was sick, and had convulsions. If the sick man becomes impatient, und says the medicine is doing no good, she reminds him curtly,that “‘time’ is nec- essary; she has even been known to dip into the classics, and say that Ro-ne was not built in‘'a day. The air of wisdom with which she examines the doctor books convinces the sick man that, however intelligent his medial adviser may have been, after his recov- ery he will be informed that he would have been sick much longer had she not used her home-made lotions. What- ever she does at night, the doctor will agree in the morning that it was very good. The sleepiest woman in the world ‘vill stay up all night cheerfully if she can get a chance to doctor somebody, an‘i if a man has medicine to take at an un- usual hour he will get it, if there is a@ woman around.

ONE WOMAN WHO “MADE GOOD.” From the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young has been re- elected Superintendent of Schools of Chi- cago. She assumed the post after there had been much controversy over school man- agement, which made the outlook rather dubious. By tact, common sense and earnest industry she has succeeded in keeping the city’s school system up to a high standard and in administering af- fairs to the general satisfaction of the people of Chicago. It is one case where a woman has em- phatically ‘“‘made good.”

MAN AT THE WHEEL. From the New York Telegram. On hig way home from Bermuda, President-elect Wilson was accorded a trick at the wheel of the steamship Bermudian, and they do say there was a suspicion of a letter 8 in the vessel's wake when he relinquished the post to his daughter, Miss Bleanct Wilson, of whom the captain had said she would make a better steeramam than her dis- tnguished father. Maybe, maybe. Still, sailor men are notoriously gallant on the one hand, and, on the other, if anyone could only knew the truth, perhaps the Governor's mind wasn’t on his business as his

JUST A MINUTE Written for the Post-Dispatch by Ulark McAdams, AT CHRISTMAS TIME. T Christmas time the hearts of men Are full to overflowing, . And all the world is mellow then Beyond mere human knowing. God in His wisdom only knows The depths of fellow feeling, When the love of man for his kindred blows Sweet in his heart as a summer rose, _ And the Christmas chimes are pealing. + HE spirit born of Christmas time Is like the fragrance blowing From a garden when the shadows climb The west sky redly glowing. God in His mercy gave us this To make our lives the sweeter, The happy earth, the children’s bliss, And the soft touch, like a baby’s kiss, “To. make our joy completer. . s ¥ OBSERVATION ON CHRISTMAS. Christmas would not be possible at all without the general celerity with which everyone gets about at this season. A boy is a good illustration. Whereas a boy. passes the grandstand only once in a full moon ordinarily, he goes around like a pinwheel a few days before Christ- mas. Nor is this acceleration confined to boys. It is very widespread. The man who carries the ashes out to the alley can do it with astonishing rapid- ity now. The butcher boy flits in and out at the rear of the house like a chimney swallow on one of those cool days in the fall when we first light a fire. Even the mail carrier proceeds on his accustomed route with a nice variation of the turkey trot. ‘While some of this general celerity may be ulterior, we are not going to find fault with it. Moving at its usual gait, the world would never get all the errands run, or all the packages de- livered. It may be a fault that we can go faster at Christmas, but it is a mighty useful one, and there were no Christmas without it. THE NATION’S ADVISERS.

My wife died many years ago, and, thank God, we had no children. I generally spend Christmas alone.” ; He looked out of the window again. Prof. Biggleswade suddenly remembered antecedents and :reflected that as Mc- Curdie had once run, a barefoot urchin, through the Glasgow mud he was likely Ite have little kith or kin. He himself ‘envied McOurdie. He was always pray- ing to be delivered from his sisters and repress. “Children are the root of all evil,” said he. “Happy the man who has his quiver empty.” | Sir Angus McCurdie did not reply, at fonce; when he spoke again it was with reference to their ve host. “J met Deverill,”” said he, “at the Roya] Society's soiree this year. One of my assistants was demonstrating a peculiar property of thorium and Dev- erill seemed interested. I asked him to come to my laboratory ‘the next day ana found he didn’t know a damned thing about anything. That's all the acquaintance I have with him.”’ Lord Doyne, the great sdministrator, who had been wearily t gver the pages of an illustrated weekly chiefly Med with flamboyant photographs of , from his nose and the black cigar from his lips and addressed his companions. “I’ve been considerably interested in eaiG he, “and as you've been frank I'll be frank, too.

But why I, who loathe country house parties and chil- sleswade, am going down there today Tf can no more explain than you can ‘Tt’s @ devilish odd coincidence.” The three men looked at one another. Suddenly MoCurdie shivered and drew his fur coat around him. “T'll thank you,” said he, “to shut that window.” | “Tt fa shut,” said Doyne. “Tt’s just uncanny,” said McCurdle, king from one to the other, "What?" asked Doyne. “Nothing, if you didn’t feel a” “There did seem to be a sudden draught,” aaid Prof. Biggleswade. “But as both window and door are shut it gould only be imaginary.” “Tt wasn’t imaginary,” muttered Mo- Curdie, Then he laughed harshly. “My father ‘and mother came from Cromarty,” he said with apparent trrelevance, “That's the Highlands,” said the Pro- fessor. “Ay,” said McCurdie. Lord Doyne said nothing, but tugged Jat his mustache and looked out of the/ window as the frozen meadows and bits of river an@ willow raced past. A dead silence fell on them. McCurdie broke it with another laugh and took a whisky “Have a nip?’ have to keep to a strict dietary and I only drink hot milk and water—and of I have some in a ther- mos bottle,” Lord Doyne also declining the whisky, had dared to question his interpretation of a Hittite inacription. Over the man’s in- aptitude he fell asleep and snored loud- ly. O escape from his tmmediate neigh- borhood MecCurdie went to the oth- er end of the seat and faced Lord Doyne, who had resumed his gold ‘giasses and his listless contemplation of | ‘obscure actresses.

The express was held up for an hour, and when it was permitted to proceed, instead of thundering on, it went cautiously, subject to continual stoppings. It arrived at Plymouth two -hours late. The travellers learned that they had missed the connection on which they had counted gnd they could not reach Trehenna till nearly 10 o'clock. After weary waiting at Plymouth they took their seats in the little, cold local train that’ was to carry them -another stage on théir joruney. Hot-water cans put in at Plymouth mitigated to some yextent the iciness of the compartment. But that only lasted a comparatively short time, for soon they were set down at’a desolate, shelterless wayside junc- tion, dumped in the midst of a hilly snow covered waste, where they went through another weary wait for another disma} local train that was to carry them to Trehenna. And in this train there was no hot-water cans, so that the compartment was as cold as death. McCurdle fretted and shook his fist in the direction of Trehenna. “And when we get there we have stil) a 20 miles’ motor drive to Foullis Cas- tle. It’s a fool name and we're fools to be going there.” “I shall die of bronchitis,” Prof. Biggleswade. “A man dies when it is appointed. for him to die,”” said Lord Doyne in his tired way, and he went on smoking long black cigars. “It’s not the dying that worries me,” said M rdie. “That's a mere mechan: ical process which every organic being from a king to a cauliflower has to pass wailed ise Wen. After a few moments the huddling to- gether of their bodies—for, the Pro- fessor being a spare man, there was room for them all on the back seat—the pile of rugs, the serviceable and all but air-tight hood induced a pléasant warmth and a pleasant’ drowsiness. Where they, were being driven they knew not. The perfectly upholstered seat eased their limbs, the easy swing- ing motion of the car soothed their epir- its. They felt that already they had reached the luxuriously appointed home which, after all, they knew awaited them. McCurdie no longer railed. of bronchitis, and Lord Doyne twisted the stump of a black cigar between his lips without and desire to relight it. A tiny electric lamp inside the hood made the darkness of the world to right and left and in front of the tale windows still darker, MceCurdie and Biggleswade fell into a doze. Lord Doyne chewed the end of his cigar. The cat sped on through an unseen wilderness.

Mean- while McCrudie and Biggleswade had alighted. “eYs, it's the axle,” said the chauf- feur. : “Then we're done,”’ remarked Doyne. “T’m afraid so, my jord.” “What's the matter?

There's something guiding us now. It’s just un- canny.” “Why on earth did we ever come?” croaked Biggleswade. Lerd Doyne answered: “The Koran says, “Nothing can befall us but what God hath destined for us.’ So why worry?" “Because I’m not a Mohammedan,” retorted Biggleswade. ‘You might be worse,”’ said Doyne. Presently the dim outline of the little house grew perceptible. A faint light shone from the window. It stood un- fenced by any kind of hedge or railing a few feet away from the road fn a little hollow beneath some rising ground, As far as they could discern in the dark- ness when they drew near, fhe house was a mean, dilapidated hovel. A gut- tering candle stood on the inner sill of the small window and afforded a vague view into a mean interior. Doyne held up the lamp so that its rays fell full on the door. As he did so an ex- clamation broke from his lips and he hurried forward, followed by the oth- ers. A man’s body lay huddled together on the,snow by the threshold. He was dressed like a peasant, in old corduroy trousers and rough coat, and a hand- kerchief wags knotted around hig neck. In his hand he. grasped the neck of a broken bottle. Doyne set the lamp on the ground and the three bent down to- gether over the man. Close by the neck lay the rest of the broken bottle, whose contents had evidently run out into the snow, “Drunk?” asked Biggleswade, Doyne felt the man and laid his hand on his heart. “No,” said he, ‘“‘dead.” McCurdie leaped to his full height. “T told you the place was uncanny!”’ he cried. ‘It’s fey.” Then he hammered wildly at the door. There was no response. He hammered again till it rattled. This time a faint, prolonged sound like the wailing of a strange sea creature was heard from within the house. McCurdie turned around, his teeth chattering. “Did ye hear that, Doyne?”’ “Perhaps it's a dog,” said the Pro- fessor, Lord Deyne, the man. of . action, pushed aside and tried the door handle. tt yielded, the door stood open and the gust of cold wind entering the house extinguished the candle within. They entered and found themselves in a mis- erable stone-paved kitchen furnished with poverty-stricken meagerness—a wooden chair or two, a dirty table, gome broken crockery, old cooking utensils, a fly-blown missionary society almanac and a fireless grate. Doyne set the lamp on the table. "We must bring him in,” sald he. They returned to the threshold and as they were bending over to grip the more The sweat drip- but this time louder, a cry of great agony: . bres SHE Pram * perating trické. My reason tells me that! soul-plercing moan of anguish. this place is only a commonplace moor, |, “There’s a second room,” said Doyne, pointing to a door. “The sound comes from there.” He opened the door, peeped in and then, returning for the lamp, disap- }peared, leaving McCurdie and Biggles- wade in the pitch darkness with the dead man on the floor. ~ “For haaven’s sake, give me a drop of whisky,” said the Professor, “or I shall faint.” Presently the door opened and Lord Doyne appeared in the shaft of light. He beckoned to his companions, ‘It is a woman in childbirth,” he said in his even, tired voice. ‘“‘We must aid her. She appears unconscious, Does either of you know anything about such things?” They shook their heads and the three looked at each other in dismay. Mas- ters of knowledge that had won them world-wide fame and honor, they stood helpless, abashed before this, the com- monest phenomenon of nature, “My wife had no child,” said Mc€ur- die. “T’ve avoided women all my life,” seid Biggleswade. “And I’ve been too busy to think of them. God forgive me,” sald Doyne. HE history of the next two hours was one that none of the three men ever cared to touch upon. They did things blindly, instinctively, as men when they come face to face with the elemental. A fire was made, they knew not how, water drawn they knew not whence, and a kettle boiled. Doyne, accustomed to command, directed. The others obeyed. At his suggestion they hastened to the wreck of the car and came staggering back beneath rugs and traveling bags which could supply clean linen and needful things, for amid the poverty of the house they could find nothing fit for human touch or use, Early they saw that the woman's strength was failing and. that she could not live, And there, in that nameless hotel, with death on the hearthstone and death and life hovering over the pitiful bed, the three great men went through the pain and the horror and squalor of birth, and they knew that they_had never yet stood before $0 great a mystery. With the first wall of the newly born infant a last con¥Vulsive shudder passed through the frame of the unconscious mother. Then three or four short gagps ror breath, and the spirit passed away. She was dead, Prof. Biggleswade threw a corner of the sheet over her face, for he could not bear to see it, They washed and dried the child as any crone of a midwife would have done and dipped a small spohge which had always remained unused in a cut-glass bottie in Doyne’s dressing bag in the hot milk and water of Riggleswade's thermos bottle and put it to his lips; and thén they wrapped hith up in some of their own woollen undergarments and took him into the kitchen and placed him on a bed made of their fur coats in front of the fire. As the last piece of fuel was exhausted they took one of the wooden chairs and broke it up and Little Prof. Biggleswade. sat on a cor- ner of the table and wiped his forehead. “TIT heard it. I felt it. It was like the beating of wings,” “It's the fourth time,” said MocCur- die. “The first time was just before I accepted the Deverill’s invitation. The second in the railway carriage this aft- ernoon. The third on the way here. This is the fourth.” | Biggleawade plucked nervously at the fringe of whisker under his jaws an‘ said faintly, “It's the fourth time up to now. I thought it was fancy.” “I have felt it, too,” sald Doyne, “It is the Angel of Death,” and he pointed to the room where the dead man and woman lay. “For God's sake let us get away from this,"’ cried Biggleswade. “And leave the child to die, Iike the others?’’ said Doyne. “We must see it through,” said Me- Curdie. A silence fell upon them as they sat around in the blaze with the new-born babe wrapped in its odd swaddling clothes asleep on the pile of fur coats, and it lasted until Sir Angus McCurdie looked at his watch. “Good Lord,” said he, “it’s 12 o’clock.”’ “Christmas morning,” said Biggtes- wade. “A strange Christmas,” mused Doyne. McCurdie put up his hand. ‘There it is again! The beating of wings.”” And they listened like men _ spellbound. McCurdie kept his hand upliftea and gazed over their heads at the wall, and his gaze was that of a man In a trance, and he spoke: ,.. “Unto us a child is ‘born, unto us a son is given”—— Doyne sprang from his chair, which fell behind him with a crash, ‘‘Man—what the devil are you saying?” Then McCurdie rose and met Biggles- wade’s eyes staring at. him through the great round spectacles, and Biggleswade turned and met the eyes of Doyne. A pulsation like the beating of wine stirred the air. HE three wise. men shivered with a queer exaltation. Children Cry PAS a a OE Pia ha PY Sagat sas " ag — — ea * — * * >.

Than Join the By Clarence F. Lloyd. Following shortly after purchase by the Brooklyn club, which would have enabled him to make his mark as a big leaguer, Benny Meyers, the St. Louis boy, whose terrific hitting won the International League pennant fcr the Toronto team last season, announces his retirement from baseball. Meyers is not quitting the game be- cause he wants to, but because his briie of a few months has requested it. She is opposed to the sport and according to Meyers refused to become Mrs. M. unless Benny promised that the 1912 season would be his last as a national pastimer. According to Meyers, he is sincere about retiring. His intention was io marry during the 1912 campaign, but Mrs. Meyers refused to consent.to have the knot tied until Benny quit the game. As the Toronto club was in the thick of the International League race anil had a chance for the pennant, he post- poned the wedding until the oft sea- son. Meyers Announces Retirement. After the Toronto team had won. the pennant, the fans presented diamond- studded watch fobs to the players ani the club management gave a $100 check to each athlete. At that time Meyers said he told Manager Joe Kelley that he intended to quit. The recent exchange of Meyers to the Brooklyn club for outfielder Hub Nor- then, a former Brownie, came as a surprise to Meyers. However, he says he will not seize the opportunity to make a name for himself in}the vig show. ‘He is engaged in the stock rais- ing business with his father at Hema- tite, Mo., and expectes to devote 12 months of the year to that business jnow. * Sa ® Meyers Praises Jack Johnston. During part of the season Meyers played with Jack Johnston, the outfielder whom the Browns obtained from the Montgomery (Southern League) team. Johnston had bees purchased from the Texas League by the Giants, but be- cause of his inexperience was turned over to Toronto by Manager McGraw. Up there he developed a ‘charley horsé” and was sent to Montgomery. He prospered with John Dobbs and, according to Meyers he will make others hustle for a job in the Browns’ outer works. He's a left-handed hitter, stands 5 feet ll inches and is a speedy young athlete. - a * Roche Must Quit Soccer. Now that “Red” Roche, the local boy, has been added to the ranks of the Browns, it is probable that President Hedges will ask him to pass up soccer. Besides being a third sacker of much fame, Roche is a member of the Business Men's Athletic Club football eleven. | Soccer is a good, healthy sport, and playing it would fit Roche for the spring training junket which will begin about Mareh 1. But there is the danger of breaking a leg or twisting an ankle and President Hedges will likely ask his newest player to be a spectator at each Sunday kicking matinee hereafter. 7 McLegn Ready for Minors. The spurning of John Lawrence McLean by ‘the Browns will probably mean the passing of the giant maskman to the Loulville team, A deal is now pending whereby McLean will pass from the Reds to the. Colonels. McLean could have helped the Browns considerably. Had he joined the*® team he would have ranked above any wind- paddist on the staff. But his erratic ways make him a dangerous man to have around. Messrs. Stovall and Hedges feared that Long Larry might mislead one or more of the promising young athietes now with the club. That would have offset all the good he might have accomplished on the bail field. Hence, McLean's passing to the minors, . ° Tinker Doesn’t Want Grover. Grover Loudermilk, the 12-foot right- hander, who tried to make good for Roger Bresnahan for three years, will not be re- tained by Manager Joe Tinker of the Reds. Grover was one -of the players passed along by the Cubs in the recent Tinker deal. Tinker didn’t want to pack the tall boy with him, preferring Larry Cheney, but this end of the deal was blocked. The actor-manager claims that three big League clubs are eager to obtain the strip. For that reason he is holding off to hear all offers. Tinker has held up Pitcher Knetzer of the Brooklyn club and may > tain him for — * Chase — Chance. Hal Chase, the flashy but erratic first baseman of the Yankees, is out with a breezy midwinter boost for Frank Chance, who is slated to manage the Hilltop team, a job at which Chase failed. Part of Chase's spiel follows: ‘IT have the greatest admiration for Chance and I intend to play ball for him to the best of my ability. I was handi- capped by illness until midseason last year, but hope to shake the hoodoo. Mr. Farrel] has treated me with great Hberality and I fully appreciate it. He is paying me a lary that possibly I couldn’t get else- ere and I would be foolish if I didn’t try to earn /t.’’ That kind of talk would indicate that hase, after 28 years of existence, is be- ginning to realize the seriousness of life. . 7 Del Paddock, ‘the former Three I leaguer, who tried fo: the thir® baseman’s job with the Yanks last season, has been released to the Rochester (International League) team.

This race will attract many of the star bike riders who recently competed :n the six-day grind at Madison Square Garden, New York. However, the race here will not be run in any way like the New York event. Instead of a contin- ual grind, the local riders will be on the track only eight hours a day, from 3 to ll p. m.

Mullin was slated for re- CARDINALS NEED KONEY'S BAT MORE THAN PITTSBURG Big Train Ranks With the Lead- ers in Driving Home Runs. By W. J. O’Connor. Ed Koney struck out not a few times last season, when the bases were filled; but statistics now show that the Big Train not only led the local batters in driving home runs but he ranked well up among the run-producers of the League. He was seventh among the regulars and when one stops to consider the fact that the Cards were down in the rut, scoring very few runs per game during the past campaign, Koney’s record is all the more remarkable. On 738 safeties, 10 sacrifice flies and three infield outs, Koney sent 86 runs. pattering over the pan. Larry Doyle, Heine Zimmerman, Hans Wagner, Jack Murray, Chief Wil- son and Fred Merkle, all members of the 1-2-3 teams, finished ahead of Koney. That’s the: reason Pittsburg is trying desperately to snare the Big Train for next season. A man who wields a war club with such disastrous result to the opposing slabman, is a valued addition to a pennant-hunting team. He’s also a big asset in the Cardinal ranks and Mr. Huggins can make himself deucedly un- ropular with the proletariat by passing up the pill-pounder who was such a prolific producer of runs. Here’s the Problem. The Cards need Kdney. And Koney needs money. 80 do the Cards. To dodge the issue of paying the Big Train a princely stipend néxt season Boss Hug, who faces a Herculean task, may pass him up. But un- less he obtains such men as Wilson, Miller and Gibson, the fans never will stand for a trade for the first eacker. Hug has a tough task. Another reason for putting a prohibitive price on Koney is the fact that Big Ed seldom misses a game. He was out of nine games last season, being laid up for two weeks In the middle of the campaign with sore eyes, but he never would have ‘aid off had the team been up in the race. Pre- vious to 1012 Kaney missed only seven games in six long campaigns. He's a demon for work. os + Able Steiner wins his bet! Lee Magee is a full-fledged printer, holding a card in the typographical union of Cincinnati. Lee is third assistant make-up on the women’s page in the Cincinnati Enquirer, where he has a loyal’ booster in Jack Ryder, the well- known baseball writer. Manager Miller Huggins of the Suffragettes is pretty sweet on this Jack Stansbury, the ‘second baseman drafted from Louisville. ft has been learned from an authoritative source that Owner C. Webb Murphy of the Cubs offered the Louisville Club two play- ers—one a promising pitcher—if Louisville could deliver over Stansbury to Evers’ team. It was Murphy's idea for the Colonels to buy Stansbury back from the Cards and then pass him along to the Windy City. Hug balked the deal. Hughie Jennings believes that the Pitts- burg club is the one that everybody will have to beat to the National League pen- nant tn 19173. ‘Tf the Pirates get Bresnahan they will be about the toughest proposition in the Lynch ‘cireult,”’ said the Tiger manager yes- terday. ‘The club has one of the best pitch- ing staffs in the league, and with Bresnahan to handle the twirlers they should improve a lot. Roger is a brainy and valuable back- stop himself and can teach pitchers.’’ They have counted out Jimmy Sheckard many times between seasons, but the vet- eran still labors regularly in left field for the Cubs. The story is around again that Sheckard will be an extra man next ses- son, Owner Murphy hints that Schulte, Mitchell and Clymer will be the regular outfield. Chicago critics cannot enthuse over Clymér. He had a trial with the Pittsburg team several years ago, and a later one with Washington. Clymer came te the Cubs from the American Associa- tien and probably will go back there be- fore the end of next season. Ik oes ee me —— WATCH THE ST. LEOS., O* the theory that any team from any place can be relied on to faith- fully and surely trim anything from St. Louis, the» championship soccer games to be staged here ginning Christmas day by St. Lotils ahd East- ern teama. have already been turned over to the visiting kickers—by some. The first team to call will be the West Hudson outfit of Harrison, N. J., which owns the national championship cup, won in 1911. While the Hudsons may defeat the Innisfails, if the St. Leos are in anything like their normal form, there will be a disappointed squad of English, Scotch and Welsh “Americans” returning Hast next Sunday night. * + * OUTSIDE WITH WEST HUDSONS. HE West Hudson team is the title- holding outfit, but it has depre- clated this year, as the subjoined stand- ing will show. It will be reinforced to nearly its normal strength, however, by the prospective addition of Adam- son, a member of another Eastern elev- en, one of the best players in the coun- try, beyond doubt. Hbven if the eleven is recruited to its best strength, how- over, it will have enough to do defeat- ing the St. Leos on form. * * * ERE’S the opinion of an Eastern critic who saw last year’s matches: ‘As to the outcome of the games there, the Leos ought to slaughter the Hudsons. Last season, with the aid of the referee, the Hudsons beat the Leos by one goal. The night before the game the Leos had a banquet in Philadelphia, and few of them went to bed at all. They were misrouted by rail to Harri- son and had to leave the train at Eliza- beth and come the rest of the way %y trolley. They arrived at the grounds just in time to start the pley. They had no chance to get dinner and, coming on top of a sleepless night and a tiresome trip, they played in poor form. “The Ios, and perhaps the Innisfalis of St. Louls, can probably beat any reg- ular team in the East, amateqpr or pro- fessional, provided they keep in training . At Last! Flynn Finds a Boxing Title to Claim NEW YORK, Dec. —‘Well, well, that’s the way with a loser! Here Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, who on Dec. 10, out in Los Angeles, was the recipient of a harrowing experience administered by the ex-cow puncher, Luther McCarty. comes gum-shoeing into town and he’s here a whole day without uttering a single peep, and really nobody was ‘*hep”’ to the. fact that he’s here. And Jim didn’t have a single word to say until he cast a speculative eye over the sporting pages, ‘wherein he saw that a new championship weight had been created by the New York Boxing Com- mission. And then— Well, Mr. Andrew Chiariglion, alias Jim’ Fiynn, Pueblo fireman and pugtlist extraordinary, let out one loud yap and, taking his pen by the hand, he led it across a sheet of foolscap to the fol- lowing tune: “New York City, Dec. 23, 1912. “Dear Sir: In today’s paper I take note that the New York State Athietic Commission has arranged a new scale : of weights and designated the 175- pound class as ‘Commission.’ “I beg to advise you that I this day claim the commission weight cham- pionship, My right to the champion- ship in this class can hardly be ques- tioned, as I have defeated every legiti- mate contender at that weight.

Carl, as a mere spectacle, would be an attraction. Carl in the gamest thing in ring togs. He is game enough to stick to his task, even though the arguments against himself mount daily. Carl took a trimming from Jim Flynn—took it gamely, like the real thing. Later he was knocked out by La-’ ther McCarty. Just to clinch the “dope” on this series, McCarty satisfactorily re- duced Flynn to pulp and inocuousness Dec. 10, at. Los Angeles. And right here is where Carl’s grit comes in. For he’s game enough to state that Luther McCarty is a “lemon,” who trimmed him by accident. This leads one to suspect that the said lemon may have soured Carl's dis- position. £ s° * HE HAS THE “MAKINGS.” ORRIS, thus far in his career, has seemed to prove that it’s the spark and not the physique that makes the champion fighter—or champion any- thing else. Carl is a wonderful man, ph¥sically. When in condition he boasts 230 pounds of hard muscle, 6 feet 4 inches of height, punching power that, in his early career, was wont to lift opponents clear of the ropes (as in the case of Marvin Hart, whom he dumped in the laps of the spectators), plenty of good courage and the decent, tracta- ble disposition of a thoroughbred. — * a And yet he has failed to advance for over a year—time enough for anyone to begin to make noticeable progress. The reason appears to be that Carl lacks the fighting instinct. That does not mean ferocity, brutality or cruelty. It means concentration and purpose. He's too easy-going in the ring, as he is out of it. And it is against Carl’s future outlook to note that the missing trait is not one that c can be wi oer after birth. —_— ee a ee ee ae ae ere ee re evening. * sion will be the eigh —* between Champion Johnny 3 Oliver Kirk, but the hea gagement between “Kingdon } and Mike Cunningham will — ar ey. atte the ee hy light and welterweight contests to wh St. Louis fans have grown vicinity.

Here is an intimate study of the St. Louis man who is going to marry Miss Gould. You may have seen him on the streets without knowing him. This artiele goes into his personality. It tells facts never printed before, gives an ac- curate personal description, and contains sur- prises. : St. Louis Woman’s Voyage in a Zeppelin. She tells all about her air trip in the great ship, and predicts such traveling will become | common. She thinks it ‘‘safer than railroad travel’’ and declares it more ‘‘eomfy’’ than sea voyaging. And she wasn’t one bit afraid. The News Photographed. Four pages of photos cover the world. One page shows St. Louis Society at play outdoors. Another gives new pictures of Royal Persen- ages. There is a striking photograph of the start of fourteen valiant suffragettes on the long walk from New York to Albany. On and off the firing lines in the Balkan War—# a are of pictures, showing both the pomp and t pathos of the struggle.
