“HAWES NOT MY BUSS; NEITHER IS ANYBODY ELSE” —SAUNDERS NORVELL Candidate for Democratic Nomination for Mayor Re- turns From 10-Day Trip to New. York and Repeats His Declaration of Entire Independence of Promises. NOT AT FRENCH LICK RESORT WITH HAWES After Attending Inaugura- tion at Jefferson City, He Will Confer With Rolla Wells, Who Will Manage Campaign, and Other Friends. Saunders ‘Norvell, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Mayor, re- turned to St. Louis Saturday after a 210 days’ trip to New York and Philadel- phia. Norvell declared that he had been cut of touch with the political situation in St. Louis during his absence. He said he had not seen Harry B. Hawes at French Lick Springs, where Hawes is recuperating. Norvell declared that he owed no allegiance to Hawes or - any other political boss in St. Louis. He ‘asserted that he consented to be- come a candidate for Mayor as a civic duty after many of his friends had urged him to run and after they had pre- sented him a petition requesting him to a0 80. “Hawes is a delightful gentleman per- sonally,” said Norvell, “and I don't want to be placed in the light of re- pudiating him—mainly because I have mo reason to repudiate him, but as far as he is concerned he is not my boss— neither is anybody else.

Hawes became active in the Norvell ‘Movement after he had tried to promote the candidacy of Fred G. Zeibig, a real estate denler. Friends of Norvell got to- gether and decided to ask him to run for Mayor and Hawes joined them in the movement. _ Norvell said he wished to make it clear that he had promised Hawes noth- ing, would give him nothing and was bound to him by no pledges of any kind.

J. Eads How Will Bring Night Garb Proposal and That of Private Baths Fefore His Associates at Next Meeting.

a Now that the guests of the Municipal Lodging House in the basement of the old Four Courts Building are to have cots to sleep on, breakfast in the morn- ing and are not required to work, they wish just one thing more—nighties. James Eads How and several of his friends held a conference with city of- ficials and Sunday afternoon at a meet- ing of the Welfare Association a formal plea for night shirts will be made. How told a Post-Dispatch reporter Sat- urday that he was quite sure the whole- sale merchants of the city would donate the materia] and that charitably dis- posed women could be found to make the nighties. He urged the necessity of their use from a sanitary viewpoint rather than a luxury. How says lodgers at the Four Courts are asked nothing but their name and age. This he thinks makes the sev- eral hundred men who sleep there nightly likely to go out In the morn- ing and scatter some communicable dis- ease over the city. He suggests that a doctor be stationed at Four Courts to examine applicants for lodging who look as if they might be in bad health. How also thinks the bathing arrange- ments should be imptved so a little more privacy can be had. Then he is quite sure the average lodger would gladly take a bath, fold his nightie about him and sleep with sanitary serenity. As the result of the conference at the city hall Friday, several donations of cots have been made. About 100 will be sent up from the workhouse, and several others have been obtained, making plen- ty of sleeping accommodations. If enough cots are not obtained in do- nations, they will be purchased by the city, and it was also agreed there should be no more compulsory work. The city was represented at the meeting by May- or Kreismann, Speaker Sommerish and President John H. Gundlach of the City Council.

UNITED RAILWAYS PAYS $63,000 ON TRANSIT CLAIMS Checks Given in Settlement of Personal Injury Judgments Obtained Years Ago. Checks aggregating $63,000 were deliv- ered Saturday by the United Railways ‘Co. to attorneys representing claimants against the St. Louis Transit Co. for judgments obtained some years ago for personal injuries, A recent decision of the Missouri Su- preme Court held the United Railways Co., a8 successor to the St. Louis Tran- sit Co., to be Hable for judgments against its predecessor. There was some talk at the time this decision was made of-carrying the case to the United ‘States Supreme Court, but the company aban- ‘doned this idea and decided to pay, J. Brooks Johnson, a money bfoker, bought several judgments and. carried the case to the Supreme Court. Others holding similar judgments joined him with intervening pleas. Johnson has about $50,000 more in judgments of a similar nature which are not included in the payment made Saturday. Those receiving money Saturday were H. A. Johnson for Susan A. Henrick, $3861.28; R. C. Miller, administrator of the estate of J. L. Miller, $7616.23; Frank Slezak, $2753.25; Christ Mertens, $2412 40: J. Brooks Johnson, assignee of Ernes- tine Fellmann, $4208.70; Sophie Bensiek, $982.10; E. A. Gibney, $6982.40; Kate Col- lins, $11,527.18; J. Brooks Johnson, as- signee of Susan Morgan, $3118.55; Anna Schmidt, $8902.30; George Safford, $3303..9; Hyman and Sarah Cornovski, $8156.98. In all these cases the claimants were injured several years ago and in some cases the litigation has been in prog- ress for 10 years or more, HAT AND COAT ON BOAT A black “pancake” felt hat, size T%, and a blue serge coat containing a memorandum book and a letter signed ‘‘Mike,’’ were found Saturday morning on a city dump boat at the foot of Gratiot street by George Barnes. The articles were turned over to the police. It is believed the owner ended his life by jumping into the river. The coat and hat were water-soaked and evidently had lain on the boat since Friday. The letter was written on the sta- tionery of Edward F. Jalegeas of 313 Broadway, Hast St. Louis. It was ad-

read as follows: BEMIS BROS, START BONUS SYSTEM FOR FAITHFUL EMPLOYES Two Per Cent of Year’s Earn- ings Distributed for Each Year of Service. The Bemis Brothers Bag Co., 601 South Fourth street, put into effect Saturday a bonus system of rewarding employes for faithful service by paying them, at the close of each year, a certain per cent of their salaries for the 12 months. The provision, in brief, is that any employe who has served the company one year continuously shall receive a sum equal to 2 per cent of his earnings for the year, and that the banus shall be increased 2 per cent for each addi- tional year of service. Thus, a man who has worked for the firm 10 years and is drawing a salary of $1000 a year will receive a yearly bonus of $200. About $12,500 in bonuses was distrib- uted Saturday, according to officials of the company. Two hundreg employes received bonuses, among them being about twenty-five in the 10-year class. The total number of persons employed by the company is 500. The bonus system is to be a perma- nent feature, an official of the firm said, i7and is expected gradually to increase the number of permanent employes.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—President-Elect Wilson arrived here this afternoon to speak at the Commercial Club tonight and went immediately to the home of David B. Jones, an old Princeton friend, at whose house he will be a guest until he leaves for the East tomorrow. The trip from Trenton was un- eventful and the, Governor arrived in good health and spirits. In order to avoid crowds he left the train at a suburban station, where he was grec‘- ed by a committee from the Com- mercial Club.

Canadian line in the Northwest, where the thermometer registered 36 below zero Saturday, and moved southeast as far as Omaha, Neb., where the temper- be modified before it reaches St. Louis and that it will be of only two or three days’ duration. A dense fog, reinforced by denser | smoke, turned day to midnight early Saturday, and caused street car col- lisions and traffic delays. A northbound Union line car crashed into a westbound Cass avenue car at | Union and St. Louis avenues at 6:30 a. m. W. P. Kee, motorman of the Union car, was thrown against the framework of the vestibule and his | scalp was cut and his right eye bruised. Conductor V. J. Harrison of the Cass car was thrown down and his knees were cut. According to a report made by the police no passengers were in- jured. Capt Robert McCulloch, president and general manager of the United eet ways Co., told a Post-Dispatch reporter | that the fog caused several collisions |! between cars and wagons, but that no | one was injured. Instructions were given to motormen to run their cars slowly and no effort Was made to maintain the regular sched- ules. For this reason hundreds were late for work. The natural fog which followed the tain of the night before was supple- mented by a heavy low-lying cloud of smoke, most of which came from the packing-house and factory districts on the East Side of the river. The darkness continued until after 8 a. m., when winds from the west and southwest partly cleared the air. SENATE VOTE MONDAY ON JUDGE ARCHBALD Each Member to Have Minute to Explain Vote on Im- peachment. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The Senate agreed today to vote at 1 p. m. Mon- day on the impeachment charges against Judge Robert W. Archbali of the Commerce Court. It has been de- cided to allow each Senator one min- use to explain his. vote. The trial that has engrossed the at- tention of the Senate for more than fcur hours a day since Dec. 3, came to an end when Representative Henry D. C:ayton of Alabama concluded the final argument of the House managers with another appeal for the removal of Judge Archbald because of alleged mis- conduct.

Dec. 24; the robbery of Lieser’s drug store at 4600 Gravois avenue, a few days ago, and the attempt to rob the National Jewelry Co.’s store at 1219 Franklin ave- nue, late in December.., Three Are From Chicago. Chief Allender says he has been re- liably informed that three of the men ‘under arrest came from Chicago and ‘two from St. Louis County, the other | being a St. Loulisan. The arrests were made by Detectives Hannegan, Heckel, Wetzel, Blake, Bec- card, Woods, Smythe and Callahan, working on or near Broadway, between Olive street and Chouteau avenue. The first man arrested was taken at Sixth and Chestnut streets at 8 p. m. He was looking over several automobiles standing at the curb, the detectives say, ‘and they believe he had been assigned by the gang to steal an automobile for the night’s “work.” ” The next two men Were arrested at Broadway and Pine streets at 8:0 p. m.,’ the fourth at the same corner two hours later, and the last two in a house at Broadway and Cerre street at 11 -o’clock. fAiad Clipping About Robbery. Under the band of a derby hat worn by one of the last two men, the detect- ives found a newspaper clipping on the Czajcinski robbery. On a table in the house where the men were taken were a new 38-caliber revolver and five loaded 38-caliber cartridges, the detectives say. Five other cartridges of that description were found in the pockets of one ‘of the men. All the men denied knowledge of recent robberies. Walter Grodski of Twentieth and Carr streets, who witnessed the Czajcinski robbery, was called to headquarters to look at the six men. One of the men, he said, looked like one of the four who committed that robbery. He was not positive, however. One of the robbers threw a brick through a front window of Czajcinski’s store, seized a tray of jewelry and es- caped in a@ limousine which was stand- ing in front of the store with the en- gines running and a driver on the seat. The limousine, which had been stolen from Dr. Willard Bartlett, was found later near Twenty-first and St. Charles streets. Failed on Other Robbery. The same method was tried at the Na- tional Jewelry Co., but the aim of the man who threw the brick was bad and broke a hole through the window so high above the sidewalk that he could not reach the trays of jewelry below. Witnesses said they believed that man, also, ran to a waiting automobile. S. Krasner, president of the National Jew- elry Co., looked at the six men at head- quarters but said he could not identify one. The attack on Prater was made by s:x men in an automobile. They dragged him from his buggy and beat him, breaking eight of his ribs. Then they took $12 and his overcoat and escaped. Detectives say they learned that the six men arrested had exchanged clothes, in various combinetions. A fur coat worn by one was found to belong to another of the gang, the detectives cay. while the man who owned the fur coat was wearing a little top coat be- longing to the man wearing the fur coat. WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FOR CASTRO DISMISSED

Following Court’s Action Secre- Nagel Will Review Inspector's Decision. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The writ of habeas corpus in the case of Cipriano Castro, former President of Venezuela, was dismissed by Judge Holt in the United States District Court. In dismissing the writ Judge Holt ruled that Castro should not be allowed to enter the country under bond pend- ing a decision of the board. He will therefore remain on Ellis Island. This sustains the Government's con- tention that the Federal courts should not interfere until the ooard shall have passed on Castro's right to enter this country. When the board's decision is made known it is thought that Castro may again seek the =~<

MAYOR OF ALTO SANCTIONS POL WHIPPING POST Faulstich Instructs Chief Lynn to Use Scourge Only in Extreme Cases.

The Mayor of Alton, Ill, has ordered the Chief of Police to be more mod- erate in the use of the town’s whipping ‘“‘post,’’ the existence of which has just become known. There ‘is no post to which prisoners are tied, to be sure, but there is a sort of scourge which, in the hands of a strong man, cam be made to cause ex- cruciating pain to the victim. It con- sists of a piece of hose, fastened secure- ly to a broomstick. The Chief admitted to a Post-Dispatch reporter that he uses it with effect upon certain persons and added that its use serves the purpose for which it is intended. Chief Lynn told a Post-Dispatch re- porter Saturday how the summary punishment—in which he is both judge and’ executioner—works. He declared he was an ardent believer in its use for “offenders who could not be reached by law.” “It is effective especially.” he said, “against those vagrants who com- mit petty crimes te get housed in the county jail all winter and then be turned out to wander in the summer. “A few days ago the police arrested aman who hed the plats of the houses of six wealthy residents in his pockets, showing what doors ani what windows could be easily en- tered. There was no law to touch this man, so I whipped him soundly and sent him out of town with a warning never to return. He did not come back.” The whip is used also, ft is said, upon obstreperous vagrants and habitual of- fenders. The matter was brought to the attention of Mayor Faulstich recently. Faulstich said he bellevéed there was ne- cessity for such punishment in extreme eases. He directed the Chief, it Is said, only to use it in such extremities. Lynn said that the city had housed 100 homeless persons in the police stations this year, having as high eas ® and in the holdover gome nights. “Some of these men do not give any thanks for the hospitality. of the ¢ity,” he continued, “and become insolent | when they are told to hunt work.

Fd ONE HIGHWAYMAN IS — CAUGHT BY POLICE Detective Sent Ahead le De Firm Had Not Been In- formed of the Trap and Doubted His Identity. ~— By Associated Presse. NEW YORK, Jan. 1L—A squad of des tectives baited a trap for highwaymen today with a 60-year-old bank messen- ger and a satchel containing $3300. The, highwaymen took the bait. One detective was shot and probably less, and probably has a fractured skull, and a lively pistol battle was fought on the East Side. One of the highwaymen escaped; the other was captured. : The messenger, Peter E. Plunkett, left the Union Exchange National Bank, where he had been. employed for years, with a cloud of detectives trali- ing him. Within the satchel he carried rolls of two factories. The detectives were disguised as laborers to avert suspicion. Attacked itn Hallway. al, As Plunkett stepped into the darker] ed hallway of one of the factories, men sprang up from nowhere ¢ him. One of them crumpled him up ging before he could cry out. The other grabbed the satchel and both away. + : The factory had not been prised 6 ‘the-plan and detained one of the de - senger. While he was explaining the highwaymen were making off. The de- tective started in pursuit, caught one of the robbers and rolled ‘to the cobble- stones with him.

Chief Kortkamp told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that the alarm sys- tem was put out of order by pressing the hammer of the bell in his house back so it would not strike. The effect of this was that had an alarm been turned in it would not have reached the Chief and would have placed him in the position of neglecting his duty and not answering alarms, while the firemen would be without a head. LOSES ONE LOCKET, THREE ARE REPORTED Mrs. J. S. Rossen Demonstrates Effectiveness of a Post- Dispatch Ad. Two losers of lockets fost a chance to recover them by not advertising their losses in the Post-Dispatch Friday. Mrs. J. 8S. Rossen of 4854 Branconier place, who lost her locket, advertised for it in the Lost and Found Bureau of the Post-Dispatch and not only re- covered hers, but was called by two other finders of lost lockets, whose own- ers had not advertised. Mrs. Rossen lost her locket, which was a Christmas present, as she was stepping from an automobile at Grand avenue and Lindell boulevard Thursday after- noon. She advertised Friday afternoon. Very soon after the paper was out Conrad Budke Jr., of University City, called her up and described a locket which he had found. It was Mrs. Ros- sen’s locket.

AMERICAN SCION OF NING GEORGE IV BURIED AT ALBANY Joseph P. Ord Was Monarch’s Great-Grandson’ Through Morganatic. Marriage.

FORMER MORGAN PARTNER

Death Recalls Romance of Eng- land’s Crown Prince With Mrs. Fitzherbert.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Men promi- nent in banking and business circles in New York went to Albany this morn- ing to attend the funeral of Joseph P. Ord, great-grandson of George IV through a morganatic marriage, and & former partner in the firm of J. P. Mor- gan & Co. Services will be held at the Cathedral of All Saints at Albany to- day. Bishop William Doane of the dio- cese of Albany will condu+t the serv- ices. Ord died at the St. Regis Hotel, in this city, early Thursday, after an ill- ness of several weeks, due to a chronic affliction of the throat. He was only 44 years old when Morgan took hirn froim the vice-presidency of the General Electric Co. at Schenectady to be a partner in the Morgan banking house. He was chosen as the man best fitted to represent the Morgan interests in the newly formed United States Steel Cor- poration. After a brief experience in this capacity, he returned to Schenec- tady to act in an advisory capacity for the electric works, At the time Ord joined the Morgan firm nothing{jwas known by the general public of his royal descent. Although there was nothing dishonorable in. the relationship of George IV and Ord’s great-grandmother, the famous Mrs. Fitzherbert, the American branch of the family was not given to exploiting its derivation from the ruling house of En- gland. Facts Published in 1905. The facts were made known in 1995 by the unsealing of the paper® of Mrs. Fitzherbert. In them she told of her marriage to King George IV, and of the birth of their son. According to those documents and a marriage certificate later found: at Coutt’s Bank in Lon- don, where it had been deposited by the Duke of Wellington nearly 80 years ago, King George violated the laws of his country and contracted an illegal marriage; Mrs. Fitzherbert was a Cath- olic, and the laws of England forfeited the heritage of any member of the royal family who married a Catholic. The counselors of George, when as Prince of Wales he contracted the mar- riage, took the view that inasmuch as the union was illegal it was null and void and therefore was a mere cere- mony not affecting . his right to his title. They let him have his own way. The son of this union was Joseph Ord, who is recorded in the books of Georgetown University as ‘son of George IV and his lawful wife, Mrs. Fitzherbert,” and as entering that in- stitution of learning tn 1800. The oldest ecn of Joseph Ord was Judge Pacificos Crd, Ord Issued “Royal Decrees.” The Joseph P. Ord who was a mem- ber of J. P. Morgan & Co. was the son of Judge Ord, and was therefore in the direct line of descent of the Kings of Engjend save for the fact of his great-grandfather’s religion. Ord, among his closest friends, was some- times given to making fun of himself by issuing ‘“‘regal decrees.”’ Ord was a graduate of Yale in the class of 1873. He began his business cereer in the accounting department of} the West Shore Rallroad, from which he went to the electric company. In June, 1903, he married Miss Susan Van- derpoel, daughter of Mrs. Isaac Vander- pee! of Albany. Dr. Shea’s history of Georgetown Uni- versity speaks of a son of George IV in a chapter concerning Georgetown stud- ents of the first years of the last cen- tury. “Joseph (?) Ord,” wrote the Cath- clic historian, “son of George IV and his lawful wife, Mra. Fitzherbert, was enrolled among the students.’’ On the other hand, Lecky says in his “En- gland in the Eighteenth Century,” con- cerning the marriage: “There were, fortunately, no children.” At Georgetown University there is said to be a manuscript written by James Ord, alleged son of the King, in which he told all he knew about his ancestry, but it is said that, inasmuch as the grandfather of the Joseph P. Ord who has just died meant the manuscript only for the eyes of the Georgetown priests of those early days, their successors at Georgetown have continued to look upon the manuscript as confidential and re- fuse to submit it to anyone. Son Suspected Identity. - While at Georgetown, the story con- tinues, young James Ord happened upon a book wherein the young man read that Mrs. Fitzherbert had borne a son to George IV and about the same time James Ord found among the deceased Capt. Ord's effects a letter from Mrs. Fitzherbert in which she asked “Is the child alive?” James Ord decided that he was the son. He spoke of the matter to one of the priests, Father Matthews, and in 18386 persuaded him to write to Mrs. Fitzherbert for enlightenment. There is no record that the letter was answered. The James Ord of Georgetown had dis- tinguished sons—Judge Pacificos Ord, who believed that he was royally de- scended: Gen. E. O. C. Ord, who ridi- culed the idea; John 8. Ord and Dr, James Ord, a famous physician of Balti- tnore. The Joseph P. Ord who died last Wednesday was the son of Judge Pa- cificos Ord. A. G. Brauer Suppiy Co., 316 N, Third 8t

Cleveland’s

Delegate Eugene Hale, objecting that Comptroller Taussig had not reported to the House of Delegates in sufficient detail the expenses of the last Charter election, caused the House of Delegates Friday night to refuse to accept the re- port. The Comptroller was asked to itemize his report in greater detail, The dilatory tactics did not affect the bill, for a new Board of Freeholders, as, under the rules, it does not come up for consideration until Tuesday night. At that time, Hale says, he will offer amendments to require that all sessions of the Board of Freeholders shall be cpen to the public, and that the final draft of the charter shall be published % days before election. The Comptroller reported to the House that the total cost of the Board of Free- holders which framed the Charter which was defeated, was $23,477.37. The item to. which Hale objected was worded: “Salaries of secretary, stenographers, etc., 316,683.60." He said this gave the House no information as to the manner in which the money was expended. Delegate Gregory protested in vain against Hale's motion to demand fur- ther details. Gregory said that any member who desired the information could obtain it by asking the Auditor for it. A majority of the members, however, voted with Hale. The total cost of the Charter election the Comptretier reported, was wee 975,517.21.

Boy a Nice, Warm Home. 31 OUNCES AT HIS BIRTH Whole Countryside at Brown’s Mills in the Pines, N. J., Watching Youngster, BROWN’S MILLS IN THE PINES, N. J., Jan. 11—Tended day and night by incubator experts and nurses, # two-pound baby son of Supt. Walter Joyce of the Rancocas Poultry Farm is the sole occupant of one chamber in the biggest incubator in the world, and is getting more attention than all the 50,000 chicken and duck eggs ig neighboring compartments, The little stranger has been in the In« cubator six days, since Dr. M. W: New- comb placed him there after the stork expected in April at the Joyce home got his calling cards mixed last Sunday. Dr. Newcomb, chief of the Brown's Mills Tuberculosis Sanitarium, was vis- iting the Rancocas farm when the bird made his unseasonable flight. The phy- siclan was hurriedly summoned to the Joyce home, which is built for super- visory purposes over one end of the mammoth intubator cellar. An hour later Dr. Newcomb burs? into the parlor where the superintend- ent was anxiously awaiting news from another room nearby. The doctor’s face was wreathed in smiles as he held up in one hand a little bundle wrapped in cotton. Fine Specimen of a Boy. “It’s a boy, Joyce, and a mighty fine specimen, even if he does tip the scales at an ounce less than two pounds,” shouted the doctor. “It'll be some weeks before he fits his clothes,\and while we're waiting, we'll let him use the best incubator on the place.” Joyce ran to the incubator cellar, the doctor following with the little bundle, The fact that the best incubator con- tained a hatching of $300 worth of prize eggs that had been carefully tended for nearly three weeks and were about to hatch made no difference on this oc- casion. The eggs were unceremoniously dumped into a pile on the floor, and soon a bundle containing the tiny baby was reposing on the egg tray. “The boy is growing and soon should be crowing,” said Dr. Newcomb to- day. “He has gained an ounce, now eighs two pounds, and he stands @ fair show of some day being a husky man."’ Drop of Mik an Hour,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Capt. Raold Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, was confronted today with a round of affairs in his honor. Introduction to President Taft by H. H. Bryn, the Nor- wegian Minister, was the first event on Capt. Amundsen’s program. He was honor guest at a luncheon at the home of Gilbert H.

INECKTIE TAKEN IN PAY FOR VARIOUS FREE AUTO RIDES Witness in Goode Bankruptcy Hearing Says He Helped

The involuntary bankruptcy _ suit against Isadore Goode, a clothing mer- chant of 1201 Franklin avenue, was re- sumed Saturday before Referee Walter Coles. Those in attendance at the hearings expected further Stories of high finance in the retail clothing business in line with testimony already given. The principal witnesses examined Fri- day afternoon were Herman Faber, who called hmself a “clothing broker,’’ and William E. Goodwin, a salesman for a New York advertising concern. Goode had declared that an outstanding ac- count of $3000 with Faber was among his assets. Faber denied the debt and said Goode had owed him $150 until he bought $159 worth of clothing from gave him a check for that amount, took the clothing away and then rushed to the bank and stopped payment on the check. Goodwin testified that Faber hired a detective to watch Goode and that the detective, J. L. Baggott, a former mem- ber of the Police Department, had to go to court to collect his salary of $150 from Faber. Goodwin said Faber told him of a great scheme to make money and showed him letterheads of the Parisian Garment Co., the Chic Shirtwaist Co. and O’Connor & Lewis. He said the scheme seemed to be to order goods from Eastern firms under the three firm names and sell them’ through Goode’s store. Faber said that the firm of O’Connor & Lewis would write to eastern cloth- ing»-firms for credit, and give his name as reference. As soon aS the reference inquiries cane to him, Faber testified, they were turned “over to O’Connor & Lewis, who wrote their own replies. Faber testified that when he went to a printer to get stationery for the Parisian Garment Co. he was told by the printer that stationery for that firm already had been printed for O’Conneor, who, according to Goodwin, was a clerk. (Goode, for Faber. The ‘‘Lewis’” or O’Connor & Lewis was a fictitious character, Goodwin said. Sale Newberger, a traveling sales- ruan for a New York clothing house, testified that he was well acquainted with Goode and had obtained many au- tomobile rides for him by introducing him to automobile agents as a man who wished to buy a car. By that method, he testified, he got Goode a place in the Woodrow Wilson parade. While Goode was gone, Newberger took a tie from Goode’s stock and put it on, as payment for some of the automobile rides, he said. yoode recognized the tie when he returned and quarreled with Newbergers They haven't spoken sirce, Newberger testified.

TRES TO RUSH INT FIRE FOR GIFT OF HER AGED MOTHER Husband and Fireman’ Restrain Mrs. H. D. Sharp in Her Ef- fort to Get Bedspread.

After Mrs. Harry D. Sharp and her little ll-year-old son, Gale, had been carried down a ladder from the second floor of their burning home, 6311 Bart- mer avenue, at 12:30 a. m. Saturday, Mrs. Sharp struggled with her husband and a fireman to re-enter the house and rescue a bedspread. The spread had been sent to her as a Christmas gift by her aged mother, whose home is in New York. Mrs. Sharp was awakened by the sound of her son, in the next room. coughing and trying to call for help. Going into his room she found it filled with smoke. Breaks Window With Fist. Groping her way to his bed, she took the half-conscious boy in her arms. When she reached the door siz found the hall filled with smoke. Supporting the boy with one arm, she tried to open a window. Failing in this, she broke the glass with her fist and dragged the boy to a = second-story porch where the cold air revived him. Sharp had run downstairs and found that the fire had started from an over- heated furnace, and the flames had eaten their way through the dining- room floor. He went into the yard and raised a ladder to the porch where his wife and boy were shivering in their night clothes. Fireman Aids Husband. Mrs. Sharpe ran to a neighbor’s*’house and telephoned an alarm. While fire- men were at work she suddenly remem- bered the precious bedspread which was in the second-floor room from which she had fled. She started up the front steps and wes about to plunge into the smoke- filled hall when her husband drew her back. She resisted his effort to re- strain her. He called a fireman to his aid and their combined efforts were necessary to prevent her from enter- ing the building to save the spread. The interior of the home was wrecked, the damage being cstimated at $1200, POLICE BOARD FOR BILL Lends Sanction to Effort to Ob- tain 8-Hour Day for Force.

Dispatches from Washington, Satur- day, announced that Secretary of State Knox has taken under consideration a request from Austin W. Biggs, Missouri Labor Commissioner, that the Govern- ment investigate the conditions under which men are taken from the United States to a wilderness in the Canadian Rockies to work on an extension of the Grand Trunk Railway system. Biggs’ letter, in which he expressed the belief that laborers in the construc- tion camps are little better than peons, was delivered to Secretary Knox by Congressman Bartholdt of St. Louis. The request for an investigation is based on letters received by Tom Hol- land of St. Louis, Deputy Labor Com- missioner, from some of the 75 men who went from this city to the camps last October, and on -sletters written from the camps by Rudolph Bowman, 22 years old, to his mother, Mrs. M.’ M. Bow- man of Crystal City, Mo., and turned over by her to Holland. Young Bowman was shipped to the camps by a Detroit labor agency about the time the St. Louls men departed for British Colum- bia. As told in two recent issues of the Post-Dispatch, Holland says ® or more of the 75 men sent from here have re- pcrted life in the camps almost unen- durable. ' The men allege that too many lab- orers are taken to the camps, that men who get jobs are compelled to,buy supplies at extortionate prices from the contractors’ stores, that they are driven like slaves while at work and that they are dischraged hundreds of miles from a railroad or a town and often com- pelled to walk for days through the wilderness, without money or provi- sions, to reach civilization. LIFE CONVICTS BROUGHT HERE FOR SAFE KEEPING New Trial Has Been Granted One of Two Men Convicted of Murder at Union Mo. Floyd Taylor and Jack Hofman wefe brought to St. Louis Saturday and placed in the jail for safe keeping, following a hearing granted them Friday in Union, Mo., for a new trial. Both are under a life sentence for killing an unidentified man at Union, Aug. 8, 1910. Attorney Frank A. Habig of St. Louis, who, with Attorney E. W. Bright, de- fended the young men, has several af- fidavits- from witnesses who gave testi- mony upon which they were convicted. He asserts that much of the testimony given was with the hope of obtaining a part ofthe rewards aggregating $350, but which were supposed to be at least $500. Hoffmann has already been granted a new trial and the case of Taylor has been taken under advisement until the March term of the Jefferson County Circuit Court. The most damaging testimony was given by William Yancey, a negro ex- convict; and by Rachel Cavaness, 13 years old. Attorney Habig offered an affidavit from Yancey, in which the negro declared he did not know Hoff- mann at sight.

The physicians said they doubt his recovery. The police believe the man fell from the bridge approach. He was found by Patrolman Albrecht about 58 feet east of Broadway. In his pockets the police found $28.51 in cash, a check for $500 and a scrap of paper on which was written “ke. 8. Helsensteller, 1018 Paul street.’’ Goettner is about 6 feet tall, weighs apparently 165 pounds and has blue eyes and a black mustache is tinged with gray. He was fairly well dressed but his hands indicate that he is a laborer or mechanic. In his few moments of consciousness he said he could not recall his Broadway address. The name of Charles Goettner does not appear in the city directory.

~ SOLO CELLIST AND IRGHESTRA SCORE |= AT ODEON CONCERT Webster Reveals Fine Technique and Max Zach’s Men Play With Distinction. , BRUCKNER NUMBER HEARD st Program Also Includes ‘‘Secret of Suzanne’ Overture—Re- peated This Evening.

By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. HE Symphony Orchestra essayed its first interpretation of Wolf-Fer- rari’s “Secret of Suzanne” over- ture at its Odeon concert of Friday afternoon, to be repeated this evening, and also presented, for the first time in St. Louis, the Symphony No. 4 in E Flat of Anton Bruckner’s composing. An additionally notable feature of the occasion was the appearance ‘of Carl Webster, the Boston 'cellist, as the solo figure. on the program, Webster was heard in Volkmann’s ‘cello concerto in A Minor, Op. 33, and was so well liked that he was induced to respond to two encore demands, his choice here being Popper's “Elfenreigen” and Piatti’s “Caprice,” each of which provoked re- newed and long-continued applause. A very deft technique marks ‘Cellist Webster’s performances. He seems to have mastered the use of his instru- ment to that point of virtuosity where he plays, apparently, “without half try- ing,” as the vernacular has it, his man- At per casrying a suggestion of easy indif- ference which in itself possesses a cer- tain interest to those not earnestly con- cerned in the really Hluminative possi- bilities of musical interpretation. This techncal skill, largely in evidence during the progress of the Volkmann concerto, was insistently emphasized in the two encore numbers. In developing the emotional meaning and, at one moment, the deep passion of the Volkmann score; however, Mr. Web- ster failed to be entirely convincing, and, to this extent, fell short of truly mem- orable ‘cello achievement. He leaves in one’s mind no impress of sincere feeling ~—and this is a curious defection in the case of an artist who expresses himself through the medium of the most soulful and mood-responsivie of instruments. Max Zach's men presented the light and sparkling mischievous ‘‘Suzanne’’ overture with charming delicacy and daintiness of treatment. Then, in fine cont with -this superficial though piqu y relishful “bit,” they gave to ‘tie Bruckner symphony as full a reve- lation of inner meaning as is possible to that composition. : Bruckner, however, does not measure up to the standard of genuinely great symphonic dreamers. He says a vast lot: of things—in quantity—and his in- véntive ingenuity .is marvelous, as, also his knowledge of the orchestra as an expressional voice. But he says noth- ing really big and deep, and, indeed, '‘ Goes not carry to a satisfying conclu- sion the many things which he appar- ently starts out to say. e He approaches most closely the cem- plete expression of a mood in the sec- ond movcment of this symphony, the andante, but here his form is not cor- rect, the song of his singing being far more somberly dramatic, even tragic, after the fashion of a dirge, than pure- ly lyric. But there is much richness and novelty in the score, the full beau- ty of which was well developed by the Symphony Orchestra's treatment. The ever popular and colorfully pic- turesque “Espana” rhapsody of Em- manuel Chabrier’s composing, consti- tutes the program’s final nunfber. It is Slways well played by Mr. Zach’s in- strumentalists, and was perticularly fortunate in Friday’s presentation. As '@ result of this truth it scored one of the hits of the afternoon. And such a vile afternoon as it was, sptaking by the weather card! Lower- ing dun skies of a dismal gray-brown, a persistent rain of exasperating chilli- ness, streets fairly swimming in sleety slush, sidewalks slippery and _=§ wetly treacherous—the wonder is that enough _ people to fill the Odeon nearly half full were sufficiently loyal to music to ven- ture out on such a day. : STEPS TAKEN TO DEPORT __ MYLIUS LIBEL EDITOR Parisian Who Published Story of King George's Alleged Early Marriage Coming. ‘NEW YORK, Jan. 11—E.

I know I never shall have half enough Of ocean and its salty atmosphere, Rut Uttle thought I they would greet me rere. of the heaving Has this great poet, thought I, left the sea To sing the cinder and the railroad track, The train to Edinburg half after three, And the ride to Birmingham and back? Within the heart of me I said, Alack! I could not think that such a thing could be, And so looked in the volume hopefully. It was no railroad roundhouse, as I feared, But: such ag sailors have upon a ship, It holds the stores with which a ship is geared,

And all essentials to an ocean trip. {(1 use “‘essentials’’ in its widest grip Upon things necessary to a cruise, Not being sure just where the sailors use.) any rate, from apprehension’s gloom, I found myself transported to delight.

A WONDERFUL WOMAN. dé T was fated that she could not ap- pear without inspiring love; it was an inevitable destiny from which she could not escape.’’ is written of the famous Delphine de Sabran in “The Memoirs of the Mar- quise de Custine,’’ by Gaston Maugras and P. de Croze-Lemercier, Canova fell under her spell while she was in Rome in 1812, his simplicity, oddly enough, ap- pealing to this gorgeous child of French luxury and royal descent. Her son was annoyed at the growing intimacy. “With your romantic imagination, you are capable of marrying Canova,’ said he. ‘‘Do not be too sure of that,’’ she replied. “If he had not become Mar- quis of Ischia, I might be tempted.’’ The heartless, but eloquent Chateau- braind also was enthralled by her. Read: “Among the bees that composed their hive was the Marquise de Custine, who had inherited the long hair of Mar- guerite de Provence, the wife of Saint Louis, from whom she was descended.”’ But this intimacy brought her little but disappointment and grief, so selfish and untrustworthy was he. Once, when vis- iting Delphine at Farvaques, Chateau- briand had been so intolerably peevish, exacting and disagreeable, that, when they returned from a drive “Delphine in despair seized a gun with which he had been shooting in the morning and attempted to kill herself.’’ It thus is apparent that Delphine was a very high strung lady who lived in a very high-strung Eva. She was at the same time one of the most beautiful and most fascinating women of her day and long strings of suitors were ever at her heels. But she was no mere toy; she possessed a dominating mind that was strong enough to make her a herione in the shadow of the guillotine. And the Providence that gave her beauty and charm also endowed her with great luck, as witness the remarkable story of her escape nays death on the scaf- fold. She, in common with other aristo- crats, Was accused of treason against the people, and the indictment was placed in the hands of Fouquier- Tinville, who: kept it and others in a box from which he was accustomed dally to take a certain number for presen- tation to the terrible tribunal that in- variably ordered decapitation. Gerard, a commissary of the republic, fell deep- ly in love with Delphine, who éxercised her arts on him, and he saw to it that the indictment against her remained con- stantly at the bottom of the box. When the Terror ended, Mme. de Custine sent in her petition for pardon, and that doc- into another box. Some young officers, who had dined sumptu- ously and drank deeply, acci- dentally found this box, and re- solved, as a prank, to affix their sig- tion that might be drawn from it. This happened to be Delphine’s, and she was free again. It was her luck to benefit by their drunken whim, as she had prof- ited by the humble commissary’s , de- votion. Truly, all was grist that came 2% her mill. The Marquise had an “affair” with

She boldiy canvassed the members of the tribunals and committees, gaining their interest and sympathy to such an ex- tent that Fouquier-Tinville, fearing the accused general would be acquitted, is- sued an edict for her assassination. Her son has left the following thrilling picture of her heroism in defying this order? e The prisoner had just been taken back to prison; his daughter-in-law Was preparing to go down the steps of the court, alone and on foot. Throughout her life my mother had an instinctive and unreasoning fear of a crowd; she stopped, trembling, at the top of the steps and thought herself lost. ‘If I stumble or fall, like Mme. de Lamballe,’’ she said, to herself, ‘‘it is all over with me.’’ And the fierce crowd thronged thicker — the passage. Shouts came from | sides. How was she to descend this long flight of steps amid a mob intoxicated with rage? Some were standing with drawn swords in front of her, and others were moving the mob aside. She has told me that moment had come, she noticed a fishwife carrying an infant in her arms. ‘‘What a pretty child that is,’ she said, with sudden inspiration. “Take it,’’ replied the mother, and put it into her arms. Mme. de Cus- tine took the child, kissed it and went quietly down the steps through the courtyard, crossed it and made hef way to the square without any blow or even an insult. She reached the gate, return the child to its moth- er @ escaped. The next day the heroic you woman, regardless of danger, reappeared at the tribunal, and resumed her pldce at the Gen- eral’s feet. Truly a wondéftul woman was she, ana there are few romances so full of ex- citing adventures as are recounted in her diary and memoirs, that cover that period of tremendous political events, extending. from 1770 to 1826. (Doran.) MONITOR AND THE MERRIMAC. HIS is the story of the duel of the T ironclads in Hampton Roads, told by officers of the two vessels. The story of the Monitor and the Merri- mac is told by Lieut. J. L. Worden, who commanded the Monitor until he was disabled, and by Lieut. Greene, who as- sumed command when Worden was wounded. The story of the Merrimac and the Monitor is told by H. Ashton Ramsay, chief engineer of the Merri- mac. The accounts reveal what was done and seen and felt on each side in the battle. They are not_ controversial nor even argumentative. Both accounts are dramatic in their simplicity. They are descriptions of the fight by fight- ing men. The story of the Monitor's part in the fight is almost disappoint- ingly brief and categorical. Ramsay’s recital is twice as long and so much more striking that the publishers deem it proper to make, in an introduction, a statement that, although the Monitor did not fight with a free hand, it saved the union fleet and checked the Merri- mac’s career. Ramsay describes the abandonment and blowing up of the Merrimac. The sinking of the Monitor is described by an eyewitness, Rear Admiral E. W. Watson. (Harpers.) “GATEWAYS TO LITERATORE.” ROF. BRANDER MATTHEWS !s t at his best in a little volume of a dozen essays, printed under the title ‘‘Gateways to Literature.”” He is at once lucid and profound, fascinating and convincing. ‘‘The duty of Imita- tion’’ will live after the others are for- gotten, good as they are. Prof. Mat- thews advises the would-be writer to familiarize himself with the methods of those who have won fame or success and to try, by imitation, to acquire their skill and facility of expression vy the only known method—that of writing. While not asserting that writing can be taught, he does contend that the bo- ginner must strive to walk in the foour- steps of those who have gone before until he is able, through this discipline and practice, to undertake a stride of his own. Other highly interesting and entertaining subjects in Prof. Matthews’ collection are: ‘Literary Criticisms sand Book Reviewing,’’ ‘“‘The Economic in- terpretion of Literary History,” and “French Poets and English Readers.” (Seribner.) A LADY WHO CAN'T LOVE. HE whole trouble with ‘The Ir- 7 resistible Mrs, Ferrers’ was that she just couldn’t love while all men who came in conta:t with her just couldn’t help loving her. This ts a sit- uation from which few women would flee, the same being, indeed, very flat- tering to the average daughter of Eve,” but it made a world of trouble and curious adventure for Mrs. Ferrers be- fore everything worked out just right. It is an English story and sets forth a popular conception of the life of lords and ladies. Arabella Kenealey, physi- cian, is the author. Her hobby is child culture, apparently, and, sandwiched be- tween Mrs, Ferrers’ adventures with Cupid, is a great deal of important in- formation about the scientific treatment and rearing of children, (Dillingham.) THE TYPHOON, F interest to those who saw O Walker Whitesides star _ in “The Typhoon,’’ a play whose European success, it must be ad- mitted, was greater than its Amer- ican, will be a novel of the same name which has been built around the melodrama. It is the story of Toko- ramo, a Japanese spy, whose labors in this country are broken by his in- fatuation for an American woman. How she wins him away from his ser- vice, how she scorns him as soon as he is won, and how, in a tornado of Oriental passion, he strangles her, form the big scene, both of the book and the play. The author, J. W. McCon- aughy, makes much of the efforts of Tokoramo’s countrymen to shield him, one of them going so far as to confess himself the murderer, that the spy may have time to finish his labors. (F ly.) PROFESSORIAL HACKING. HE presidential campaigns of 1900, Hg 1904 and 1908 are the subject of “A History of the Presidency,” com- piled by Prof. Edward Stanwood o,f Bowdoin College. It is mainly a com- pilation of party platforms, which are given in full, down to those of the smallest parties. The proportion of such matter in the book is so large as to destroy its interest to the general reader. Four pages are. given to the “Continental party’’ of 1904, which had no electoral ticket in any state, and one- third of a page is given to the proceed- ings of the Republican national conven- tion of that year, with no mention of ithe bouncing of the La Follette delega- tion from Wisconsin—an event big in its bearings on subsequent Republican politics. The platforms of 1912 are con- tained in an appendix hardly dryer than the main portion of the book. (Hough- ton-Mifflin.) BEST WAY TO SELL. HARLES W. HOYT has written a book on “Scientific Sales Man- agement,” which will never be- come one of the 10 best sellers; but it contains more practical information of value in the affairs of the work-a-day world than any 10 best sellers that were ever put before the public. Mr. Hoyt’s training as an engineer, a traveling salesman and a consulting sales and ad- vertising manager for a large business have given him an insight into the para- mount problem of selling that makes his book worth the while. It is written for the sales manager, the head of the house and the salesman and it is good enough to serve as a text-book for any aspiring school of salesmanship. (Wool!- son.) OFFICER 666. HE farce, “Officer 666,°" which had 7 such an uproarious success for a whole year in New York, and which recently played in St. Louis, has been done into a book by Bartin W. Curry and Augustin McHugh. Most of

b

eo =. the breezy dialogue of the play has been retained, while author's privilege makes it possible to develop interest- ingly many little scenes that the stage production neeessarily must slight. The plot is built around the impersonation of & wealthy New Yorker by a sort of Raffles, whose plans to marry the heroine are thwarted by the mere chance of the real millionaire falling in love with her. (Fly.) MS... EVE’S OTHER CHILDREN. RS. LUCILLE BALDWIN VAN VI SLYKE has gathered*into a vol- ume a number of clever stories that have appeared lately in several pe- riodicals having to do with the Syrian lacé workers in Brooklyn. In strait- ened circumstances and compelled to: labor long and intently for a scanty pittance, they have found in Mrs. Van Slyke a sympathetic observer and kindly interpreter. The different stories center chiefly about the little girl from Beirut, Nazileh Sewaya and her baby brother, Antar, introducing also the bold, crafty and resourceful Miladeh Knouri, the boy with the gift of tongues, Najeeb Bad- dour, with his almost insane desire te have a parrot and several Irish and German schoolmates and grown-ups. Reminding one somewhat of Myra Kel- ly’s stories of school children on the IKtast Side of New York, Mrs. Van Slyke does not show the keen Irish wit that made those stories so fascinating; but in her sympathetic interpretation of Ori- ental modes of thought and expression, the legends and superstitions, the poetic temperament and strong emotional na- ture of these strangers in a far-off land and the: kindly spirit in which all these are set forth, her stories more than make good any lack’in the other direc- tion.

He handed it to a woman and asked her to read it and tell him what was the matter. “The girl is entirely too won- derful,” she answered when she had finished. “Anything else?” she was asked. “Yes, it takes too long to tell the stesy."" The idea behind the story is ingenious and rather picturesque. A club of American school girls picked their ideals out of men in public prints. One selected a British army man. Even- tually she went to Europe and saw this man and loved him as much as she ex- pected to, and set about winning him. The story tells how she did it. She is an imaginative and lovable character, but, as the woman says, overdone. (Stokes.) THE BURR-HAMILTON TRAGEDY. N spite of its occasionally wabbly grammar, ‘“‘The First Lady of the Land,” a novel written around a play that was not successful, is rather well done for a book produced under such circumstances. It is an interest- ing study of the period when Thomas Jefferson brought his great lesson of cemocracy to the. American people and when Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were bitter rivals. Mrs. Dolly Todd, who became Mrs. Dolly «Madison, wife of the man who became president of the United States, is made the hero- Ine of a romantic tale. The duel be-

tween Burr, then vice-president, and Hamilton is made the focal point of the narrative. The authors are Anton Davies and Charies 1 ayy oe The original play, hich Elsie Ferguson was. starred as Dolly, was first given the name that has been retained in the novel. The title was blamed somewhat by the early failure of the play to receive the popularity that had been expected of it. It was renamed for the heroine, but met lit- tle better success.—(Fly).

“COULD WRECK COUNTRY” Ethics of Banking Prohibits These Men From Developing Competing Concerns.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—George F. Baker yesterday astounded the Money Trust Committee by admitting, in effect, that he and J. Pierpont Morgan do con- stitute power equivalent to a Money Trust and that the country might be | wrecked if the power they wield should fall into the hands of. “ambitious’’ men. Baker is chairman of the board of di- rectors of the First National Bank of New York. This admission capped. a series of cli- maxes that held the members of the committee fascinated for two days as the banker unfolded the extent of the power which he and his “friend Mor- gan "exert over the business of the na- tion. ‘ Baker seemed to be thoroughly uncon- scious of the effect he was producing upon the committee. His-final admis- sion appeared to satisfy the most con- pervative members that the Money Trust is a reality that must be dealt with immediately. Little by little Attorney Untermyer drew from Baker the extent of his fi- nancial holdings, then asked concerning the power of Morgan and Baker. Situation “Not Entirely” Comfortable. “Do you think that this is a com- fcrtable situation for a great country like this to be in?’ “Not entirely,” replied the witness. In Baker’s testimony these _ state- ments stand out: That no great enterprise can go forward syccessfully in this coun- try unless the men at the helm have the confidence of J. P. Mor- gan and his associates. That the financial situation in this country today is subject en- tirely to the power of a few men. That these men are the ar- biters of what ig right and good for the remaining 90,000,000 and that their judgment must be ac- cepted, because not even the Government is strong enough to cope with them. That competition is a thing that may exist among large enter- . prines, subject again to the judg- ‘locking directorates extends over all the major industries and that competition may be killed without interference from the law. That Morgan and his associates have handled every bond issue of more than $10,000,000 in the last

decade and that these bond issues carry the: right of control. That the ethics of banking pre- clude a bank from financing a concern that would interfere with the concerns that it already has financed. The Post-Dispatch presents in part a verbatim transcript of Baker’s testi- mony regarding the existence of a Mon- ey Trust: . Q. Mr. Baker, I suppose you do not think there is a Money Trust, do you? A. I do not believe there is. * Cannot Define “Money Trust.” Q. What do you understand by a Mon- ey Trust? A.I give it up. I don’t know. Q. Then you do not know whether there is one or not, do you! A. No, I do not take much interest in that. ° Q. Do you think there is any kind of a trust in anything? A. Oh, yes, I sup- pose so. That is what they call them— all these combinations. Untermyer: Suppose we define a Mon- ey Trust as an established identity and community of interest between a few leaders of finance, which has been cre- ated, and is held together through stock holding, interlocking directorates and other forms of domination over banks, trust companies, railroads, public serv- ice and industrial corporations, and which has results in vast growing con- centration and control of money and credit in the hands of a comparatively few men. Taking that definition, is there any doubt of the fact that’ there has been of late years a vast and grow- ing concentration of credit in the hands of a few men? . Baker: Well, there is a great amount of money that has come together here, more or less concentrated. Q. I suppose you would see no harm, would you, in having the control of credit, as represented by the control of banks and trust companies, still fur- Do you think that would be dangerous? A. I think it has gone about far enough. Q. You think it would be dangerous to go further? A. It might not be dan- gerous, but still it has gone about far enough. In good hands, I do not see that it would do any harm. If it got into bad hands, it would be very bad. Q@. If it got into bad hands, it would wreck the country? A. Yes, but I do not believe it would get into bad hands. Untermyer questioned the witness con- cerning the ethics of bankers as ev- idenced in their relations to concerns which they had floated. He showed that it would be impossible to obtain services of a concern like Morgan & Co. or the First National Bank, in financing a corporation that might be a future competitor of one of their corporations unless they retained the power of keep- ing the competitive feature in a poten- tial condition only and not allowing it to become active. $5000 TO PRINT REPORT ON TELEPHONE. VALUES Comptroller Wants $179,000 for Supplemental Appropri- ations. An additional appropriation of $5000 to enable the Public Service Commission to print the reports of its investigations into the valuation of the Kinloch and Bell telephone companies and the Mu- nicipal Water Department is recom- mended by Comptroller Taussig in his supplementary appropriation bill sub- mitted Friday to the Municipal Assem- bly. : The commission has almost com- pleted its investigations of the telephone companies, but is without funds to print the reports. The bill provides for additional appro- priations to various city departments amounting to $179,063.48 over the funds allowed in the annual budget last April. An appropriation of $13,400 is allowed out of the waterworks fund, most of which is to be used in preventing the intake tower from becoming clogged with ice this winter. Other amounts set.aside for special work are: Painting the Municipal Courts building, $12,600; constructing and erect- ing a base for the Laclede statue on the city hall grounds, $5000; shelter building in Soulard place, $2700; improvements at workhouse, $3300; improving King’s high- way, $1500.

‘BIG TIM’ SULLIVAN IS ORDERED KEPT IN A SANITARIUM Noted New York Politician, Congressman-Elect, Is De- clared a Mental Wreck.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—By court or- der, it was learned today, Cotgressman- elect Timothy D. Sullivan, who has long been a prominent figure in New York legislative affairs, is to be formally committed to a private sanitarium in Yonkers. “Big Tim,” as he is popular- iy known in the East Side section, has been in the Yonkers sanitarium several months, to recuperate, it had beer said, from a nervous breakdown. He has been up to now, however, a voluntary patient, but upon application yesterday in the Supreme Court, upon the peti- tion of a stepbrother and stepsister of the Congressman-elect, Justice Amend signed an order formally committing the patient. | After a committee hag been appoint- ed to take charge of Sullivan’s personal affairs he will be removed, perhaps, to Amityville, where Maurice Barrymore and John McCullough, the famous ac- tors, died a number of years ago. Sul- livan is suffering from the same malady which brought to an untimely end these two famous members of the the- atrical profession. Still Physically Robust. Physically Sullivan is today the gi- gantic figure famillar to all New York- ers and to all Democrats who have at- tended the State and national conven- tions of their party. He stands more than six feet in height, weighs about 200 pounds and has the same round, ‘cherubic, very smooth face, a typical Hibernian: nose and as big’ and round a pair of baby blue eyes as were ever seen. ' But mentally “Big Tim” {is a wreck. Born in poverty, schooled indifferently, at work as a newsboy, then in newspa- per offices in New York City, then in charge of a big newspaper delivery sys- tem, then an owner of many news stands and successively a district leader of Tammany, an Assemblyman, a State Senator and a Congressman, Sullivan next engaged in theatrical enterprises, and at one time he and his friends con- trolled 82 theaters in the country. It has always been contended that with a higher education “Big Tim” Sullivan, with his vast executive ability, would have been one of the great captains of industry of the generation. At first Sullivan suffered from dia- betes. This turned into the dread mal- ady which is considered incurable. Sul- livan is 50 years old. Charity Work Notable. The court action seems to involve the probability of a special election for a Congressman to succeed Sullivan in the Thirteenth District. His East’ Side friends regard the action as marking his final passing from public life. One of the most popular features of his career has been the charity work which he conducted on the East Side. Every Christmas he distributed thou- sands of pairs of shoes and other sub- stantial gifts as well as spreading a great dinner for the poor. In the old days it was frequently said that “Big Tim’’ at a minute’s notice could produce 15,000 people in New York city who would vote any ticket he wished, so strong was his leadership. He interrupted his State career several years ago to try a term in Congress, but spent only a few spectacular days in the national House of Representa- tives. “Big Tim” is said to be the only man who ever resigned from Congress to take a seat in a state Legislature. He had been in the New York General Assembly for years and preferred to be a state Senator. For many years “Big Tim” and “Little Tim” Sullivan, cousins, were the most picturesque politicians and philanthro- pists of the East Side. Their methods of charity were unique. When “Little Tim” died, two years ago, he had the biggest funeral ever seen on the East Side. . $93,830,000 for the Army. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Carrying $93,- §30,177, an increase of nearly $3,000,000 over the amount appropriated last year, the army appropriation bill was reported to the House by the Committee on Mili- tary Affairs. One-half of the appropria- tion this year will be used exclusively for the pay of the army.

FRITZI SCHEFF DENIES, BUT HER SUIT GOES ON Divorce Hearing in Case Against John Fox Jr. Was Held Friday in New York. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Somebody must be imposing on Fritzi Scheff, if taking a husbard away from her without her knowledge or consent may be so desig- nated. On Wednesday last there was pub- lished a story about a collision of tem- peraments between Fritzi and Mr. Fritzi, who is John Fox Jr., a writer. This col- lision was resulting in'a divorce action, the story said, brought by the woman against the man. The next day there came a denial from the prima donna. ‘Will this story never cease?” she said in effect. ‘It is so silly and it is re- peated so frequently I can’t under- stand it.”’ It is no violation of ocnfidence to say that the reason the story is being re- peated lies in the fact that the story is true—quite true in spite of the young woman's vehement denial. Of course, it may be possible that Miss Scheff is being robbed of a husband without her co-operation, but it is scarcely likely that a law firm like Clarke, Breckenridge & Coffey would engage in an undertaking without being properly retained. So it is fair to as- sume that they represented her in Room 9 of the Bar Association, where the referee held a hearing in the case Fri- day.

mre WHERE THE PUBLIC GETS OFF. In the spicy interview of an Adams Express Co. clerk by a Post-Dispatch reporter, it was de- veloped that there are two sets of express rates, the lower of which is virtually a secret, and the higher of which is usually quoted to the casual customer. Concerning the lower rates, the fol- lowing dialogue took place between the reporter and thé clerk: “Are these rates and classifications ex- plained to customers when they come to the offic to make shipments?” the clerk was asked. : “Only when requested,” We replied. ~"TIs not there a schedule of prices and classifications printed for the public’s bene- fit, and which I could obtain now?’ “No,” responded the clerk. “You will have to go to the general agent here,” he added, “if you want to get one of these schedules. We are not allowed to let those we have in the office go out.” “Well, where does the public get off?’ After some hesitation the clerk replied: “It don’t get off. It takes the rates pre- scribed.” But the answer was wrong. The public does get off. It is getting off rapidly on the parcel

|with narrow or selfish motives and improper , ; ORGANIZE FOR THE PEOPLE. The work of Speaker Hull and President pro) tem Francis Wilson in selecting the committees of the House and Senate will largely tell the story of legislation at the 1913 session of the Missouri Assembly. The Speaker and the Pres- ident pro tem have it in their power to deter- mine the character of the program. Shall it be progressive or obstructive? Shall it be in letter and spirit a program of legislation in the people’s interest or marked by compromise influences? The character of the men appointed to the im- portant committees will determine the character of the program. Laws are made and unmade by committees; in many instances the action of the committee is final; in most instances the meas- ure’s destiny is shaped by the committee’s action. No matter what the recommendations of mem- bers or factions may be to the Speaker and the President pro tem, no matter what considerations are presented or influences brought to bear, the authority and the responsibility for the commit- tees will be theirs, and theirs only. Upon them rests the obligation to the public and to the Dem- ocratic party as a whole. Not only considerations of public and party welfare, but high personal motives urge the ap- pointment of the cleanest and most capable men. By their appointments Messrs. Hull and Wilson stamp their own political .characters. By this means they will be first introduced and become known to the public of the State at large. By their appointments their affiliations will be an- nounced, whether they are clean or tainted, whether they are of the new, purposeful Democ- racy, bent on honest fulfillment, or old guard re- actionaries with their backs turned to the people. Missouri will look sharp to see how Speaker Hull] and President pro tem Wilson acquit them- selves of their trust. a A Lr a a Now that St. Louis has followed Chicago’s lead in furnishing cots to the homeless men, one won- ders what the pother was all about. It was, of course, a little surprising to find that Chicago was afflicted with this species of “maudlin senti- mentality.”

i A Aer re LETTERS FROM A Seat for Every P To the Editor of the Post-Dispatc The overcrowding of street cars {s most danger- ous; directly and indirectly, I believe it is re- sponsible for 49 out of every 50 “accidents,” if you should care to call it such. If the people of St. Louls will stand back of me in this fight, give me the funds to carry the war on, and give mo their sympathy and support, I will undertake to lead a war on the street rail- roads that will force them to provide sufficient cars to enable every full-pay passenger to get a seat, and which fn turn would be sufficient cars to enable the motorman to operate his car at such a speed that would enable him to stop when- ever danger should threaten. My first step would be to employ by the year a good lawyer; the next would be to employ some bright fellow who is willing to take his chances of spending a good portion of his time in jail— this latter would be our “professional passenger.” In the company of a witness, the “passenger” would board a crowded car, would complain to the conductor that he could not get a seat: he and the witness would get off that cdr and take the next car, which, of course, would be crowded too. The “passenger” would drop three cents in the fare box, would offer to pay the other two cents when he could get a seat and not before. Now, suppose an officer is called and decides to arrest the “passenger,” it can only be done upon the charge of “disturbance of peace” complaint by the conductor; under the law the “passenger” would demand thatgthe conductor be brought along to make the“@€omplaint. The officer could not make the arresé without enabling the “pas- senger” to force the‘conductor to accompany them to the station house in order to make the charge. It would take that conductor an hour off that car, and-it would have to stand there on the Street until he could go and file the complaint and get back. Under these circumstances the “passenger” would have a clear case of damages egainst all four parties to this transaction, if con- victed or’ not, he could stay in jail an hour to “cinch” his cases, Now when the “passenger” is to be tried on this charge he would demand a jury and is there a man in St. Louls who for 6ne moment believes it would be possible to convict him? But, suppose he should be convicted. What on earth do you think the people of St. Louls would do if a man Should be shackled to a cot in the jail and fed upon bread and water until he agreed to pay the Transit company 2 cents for which they had not rendered one particle of service and for which they never intended to render any service? If it is a physical impossiblity for the Transit company to give us what we pay for, then we want to pay for what we get and no more. If they cannot put on enough cars, then let them take 3 cents from the man who has to hang to a strap. CHARLES lL. DELBRIDGE. 113 Market street. THE PEOPLE Another Man’s Experience.

a POLICH SALARY INCREASE. Jefferson City reports that the St. Louis police demands an increase of pay amounting to rce : se $200,000 and is collecting by assessment a members a $10,000 fund to lobby the bill wt h the Legislature. “s The matter can be disposed of at the capital an issue havin~ no connection with the jus- of the increase.~ As a legislator suggests, Louis, which --ill have to pay the increase, “Wfule bills.

He was willing to and did engage The first plan would require several] years for execution. It has the disadvantage that, as all the water would in time be pumped from the Mis- sourli, the investment of millions already made on the Mississippi would be superseded and ren- dered practically worthless. The first plan will cost something like $12,000,000. The second plan of increasing capacity at the existing pumping stations will cost hardly a tenth as much. The Water Department enjoys a rich revenue. The conditions essential to continued depart. mental efficiency have been carefully analyzed and are familiar to most citizens. The Municipal Agsembly should find a prompt and adequate solution of the problem of increased capacity. There is no reason to doubt that it will find such solution in the second plan. Perhaps in time St. Louis will be forced to re- sort to the first and more ambitious plan. .As a source of supply the Missouri has some points| of superiority over the Mississippi. Until, how- ever, that superiority is more pronounced than at present, or changed conditions threaten some- thing in the nature of an emergency, the wise plans of those who designed the existing system of supply and distribution may be safely followed. It is not yet necessary to dot the whole area to the north and west of the city with pumping stations. * A Aen — — Before it freezes up again, householders and storekeepers should clear the sidewalks of ice.

Mc- Auliffe, staff correspondent of your paper, on Mon- day, Jan. 6, 1918, regarding the efforts of Gov. Ma- jor to pass the proposed utilities law, as incorpor- ated in the platform of both political parties, I wish to state that, should a law be enacted provid- ing for a State Utility Commission in all probabil- ity it would abolish the Cooper Enabling Act of 1907, giving the large cities authority to create a Municipal Public Utilities Commission. Unless St. Louis would be exempt from the provisions of this proposed new law, the work of our Public Service Commission may go for naught. St. Louis is large enough to have a public utili- ties commission of its own. | The Tenth Ward Improvement Association passed a resolution in December, 1912, praising the excellent work of our Public Service Com- mission as shown by the publication of its report on the United Railways. The association also op- poses any legislative attempt to abolish our Pub- lic Service Commission and has enlisted the co- operation of every civic organization in the city to oppose the proposed State Utilities law should it affect St. Louis. We also hope that the Post-Dispatch is with us towards permitting St. Louls to run its own affairs so far as the above mentioned is con- cerned. ARTHUR STOEHR, Secretary Tenth Ward Improvement Association. All Hail to Corn! To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, It seems that the Balkan victory ts a triumph for cornmeal bread. Never were better goldiers than the cornfed Confederates, and the negro be- fore the war got his great strength from corn. Though a great deal of meat was eaten in the. South, it was the corn that did the best service. What a pity our corn is no longer ground in the old-fashioned way! CORNELIUS. Patients Under a: Monument To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Suppose we follow our queer medical law and employ no doctors but drug doctors. Recent tn- vestigation in New York showed that not more the map was planted this past sum- mer within a few feet of the Arctic Ocean, at the land end of the One Hundred and Forty-first meridian, nine miles east of Demarcation Point, and 40 miles west of Herschel Island. The joint Canadian-American bound- ary survey parties have completed their work except for a little check- ing and topographical survey that may be carried on later. The Ameri- can party, headed by Thomas Riggs Jr., has returned from the Arctic. Contrary to a common idea of the Arctic, the last boundary monument was planted in luscious green fields that are a mass of bloom in summer. Huge California poppies, lupine, dai- sies, Johnny-jumpups, blue bells and most of the common American field flowers bloom in bright patches about it. Close by is a low-cut bank which is the beach of the almost tideless ocean. The maximum tide observed by the suryeyors this last summer was eight inches. The monuments are set approxi- mately four miles apart, and some of those planted this year are in al- most inaccessible spots in the rugged, barren Arctic range. The Canadian party planted the monuments on the line the Americans surveyed, and when pack horses could not reach the points, monuments, materials and toola had to be carried on men's backs up the towering cliffs.

For example, the Governor says of the men who are placed upon honor, “Few betray the trust reposed in them,” and that “men’s sense of honor has kept them true to their plighted troth.” Most of the men are “desirous of main- tainting a equare deal.” In a word, the system is “based chiefly on the principle of the square deal.” An eight-hour workday is observed, and the men allowed to earn overtime for themselves if they please, Furthermore in some cases “where a man has a family in needy circumstances he is enabled to earn money to support wife and chifi- dren.” Also, “if he hag a desire to study he is encouraged to do so, and if he exhibits a talent he is helped to develop it. In this way hope supplants despair and regeneration is made pos- sible.” Wholesome sanitary environments are maintained and skilled physicians, surgeons, dentists, etc., are at the beck and call of the tn- mates.

It was snowing, and they looked cold in consequence, especially the “Night” and. “Morning.’’ A line of ine and boys stretched on either aside of Guido all along the curbstone, with toys and dolis, and guns that shot corks into the air with a loud report, and glitter ing dressings for the Christmas trees. It was the day before Christmas. The man who stood next in line to Guid» had hideous black monkeys that dancad from the end of a rubber atring. The man danced up and down, too, very much, so Guido thought, as the mon- keys did, and stamped his feet on the icy pavement, and shouted: ‘‘Here yar are, lady, for 6 cents. Take them home to the children.’’ There were hundreds

and hundreds of ladies and little girls crowding by all of the time; some of them were ea little cross and a little tired, as if Christmas shopping had told on their nerves, but the greater number were happy-looking and warm, and some stopped and laughed at the _ monkeys dancing on the rubber strings, -, and at the man with the frost on his mustache, who jumped, too,, and cried: “Only 6 oents, lady—nice Christmas presents for the children.” Sometimes the ladies bought the mon- keys, but no one looked at the cola plaster figures of St. Joseph and Diana and “Night and Morning,” nor at the heads of Mars and Minerva—not even at the figure of the Virgin, with her two hands held out, which Guido pressed in his arms against his breast. Guido had been in New York City just one month. He was very young— go young that he had never done any- thing at home but sit on the wharves and watch the ships come in and out of the great harbor of Genoa. He never had wished to depart with these ships when. they sailed away, nor won- greatly as to where they went.: He was content with the wharves and with the narrow streets near by, and to look up from the bulkheads at the sallors working in the rigging, and the longshoremen rolling the casks on board, or lowering great square boxes into the holds. He would have liked, could he have had his way, to live so for the rest of his life; but they would not let him have his way, and coaxed him on a ship to go to the New World to meet his uncle. He was not a real uncle, but only a make-believe one, to satisfy those who objected to assisted itmmi- grants, and who wished to be assured against having to support Guido, and others like him. But they were not half so anxious to keep Guido at home as he himself was to stay there. The new uncle met him at Ellis Island and embraced him affectionately and put him in an express wagon and drove him with a great many more of his ‘countrymen to where Mulberry street inakes a bend and joins Hester. And in the Bend Guido found thou- sands of his fellows sleeping 20 in a room and overcrowded into the street: some who had but just arrived and oth- ers who had already learned to swear in English, and had their street-cleaning badges and their peddiler’s licenses to show that they had not been overlooked by the kindly society of Tammany, wnich sees that no free and independent voter shall go unrewarded. New York affected Guido lie a bad dream. It was cold and muddy, and the snow when it fell turned to mud go quickly that Guido believed they were one and the same. He did not dare to think of the place he knew as home. And the sight of the colored advertisements of the steamship lines that hung in the windows of the Italian bankers hurt him as the sound of traffic on the street cuts to the heart of a prisoner in the Tombs. Many of his countrymen bade good-by to. Mulberry _f@treet and sailed away; but they had grown rich through obeying the padrones and working night and morning sweep- ing the avenue uptown, and by living on the refuse from the scows at Canal street. Guido never hoped to grow rich and no one stoppes to buy his unhcile’s wares. The electric lights came out, and stil! the orowd passed and thronged before him, and the snow fell and left no * mark on the white figures. Guido was tl i

that it might not bear the ignominy with the others of being overlooked. Guido was a gentle, slow-thinking boy, and could not have told you why he did this, but he knew that this figure was of different clay from the others, He had seen it placed high in the cathedrals at home, and he had been told that if you ask certain things of it it will listen to you. The women and children began to dis- appear from the crowd, and the neces- sity of selling some of his wares im- pressed itself more urgently upon him as the night grew darker an possible customers fewer. He decided that he had taken up a bad position, and that instead of waiting for customers to come to him, he ought to go seek. fcr them. With this purpose in his mind he gathered the figures together upon nis tray, and resting it upon his shoulder, moved further along the street to Broad- way, where the crowd was greater and the shops more brilliantly lighted. He had good cause to be watchful, for the sidewalks were slippery with ice, and the people rushed and hurried and brushed past him without noticing the burden he carried on one shoulder. He wished now that he knew some words of this new language, that he might call his wares and challenge the notice of the passers-by, as did the other man who shouted so continually und vehemently at the hurrying crowds. He did not know what might happen if he failed to sell one of his statues: it was & possibility so awful that he did not dare conceive of its punishment. But he could do nothing, and so stood silent, dumbly presenting his tray to the pec- ple near him. His wanderings brought him to the corner of a street, and he started to cross it, in the hope of better fortune in untried territory. There was no need of his hurrying to do this, although & car was coming towards him, so ne stepped carefully, but surely. But as he reached the middle of the track a man came towards him from the op- posite pavement; they met and hesita-

ed, and then both jumped to the same side, and the man’s shouldor struck the tray and threw the white figures flying to the track, where the horses trampled over them ons their way. Guido fell backwards, frightened and shaken, and the car stopped, and the driver and the conductor leaned out anxiously from each end. To Be Ended in the Post. Dispatch Monday.

And when you look at them you'll be surprised. In the matter of the sum Bresnahan received from the St. Louis club by way of settlement on his contract, it was not $20,000, nor $15,000 nor $11,500. It was not even in five figures, It was exactly $9000, Here’s the way the settlement fig- ured: . Ten per cent of 1912 earn- ings of club Bresnahan’s expenses in prosecuting his claim.... For surrendering contract.. . -89,000 The peculiar part of the transac- tion is that Bresnahan was offered $10,000 to drop the case, and surren- der his contract, in New York, and refused to accept. That, however, was before the offer from Chicago, practically equaling the sum Bresnahan would have received from the Cardinals had he remained here as Manager, was made. Had Bresnahan accepted the offer made in New York he would have re- ceived a total of $11,500. In bargaining subsequently the club urged that it, too, had legal expenses to the tune of about $2500 to square and lopped that amount off the total. Roger was so eager to close that he declined to argue further and took what was offered. Is everybody now happy? Well, the Cardinals’ business office should be. e © * It’s A COLD WURRULD!

HE story is almost as probable as the one which has Hans already chosen to manage Billy Locke’s Phila- delphia Nationals—when they become Bill’s. N. B.—The only improbability about the proposition just named is the one which makes it unlikely that Hans would accept $60,000 a year. Hans couldn’t afford to go to work for such a pittance. 2 * e WHY QUIT THE BANQUET? ONNIE MACK, in a pathetic state- ment regarding the decline of the money-making end of baseball, declares that ‘‘no magnates are now retiring from the game with fortunes.”’ Certainly not, Connie. They remain to accumulate still greater ones. - e * ON THE OTHER HAND. ES, baseball is certainly tightening up. Second-division clubs now earn annually sums that 15 years ago would have sufficed to buy franchise, players and all that. went to make up a big League baseball club. The trouble is that a mere 15 or 20 per cent profit on investments no longer interests the mag- nate. If he can’t retire after 10 years of service, he deems he had fared badly. QUICK RICH INSTANCES. OHN McGRAW is said to have stated that the’ New York club made $425,000 last year, including the club’s world’s series share. Capitalize this at 6 per cent per annum and you find that the New York club is worth $7,083,333,00. As a matter of fact in tangible value the club is not worth one seventh of this sum, making the earning power of the plant practically 60 per cent. Robert Lee Hedges came to St. Louis with about $70,000. Of this he put less than $50,000 into a baseball club capli- talized for some $65,000. In exactly 10 years Hedges, with a club that only in its first year was able to finish better than fourth and only one other time as good as that now owns a baseball plant worth over $500,000 not to mention other propefties alien to the national game. Charles Murphy and Charles Taft seven years ago bought the Cubs for $105,000. The team has averaged about $150,000 in earnings annually since, mak- ing the joint investment net close tuo $1,000,000. Yes, Connie, baseball magnates should worry; but only as to what they shall do with their surplus. o a * THEY TRAIN ON FOOTEASE. A these American boxers who make matches with the visiting French la Savate artists, Louis Du- casse and Georges Jeanniet, naturally have a kick coming. Se WEBB MURPHY, the Chicago Cub e owner, isn’t getting the breaks. When he hired Roger Bresnahan he figured ou re-establishing himself in the good graces of the Windy City fans, but strange to say the Chicago papers didn’t enthuse over the acquisition of Roger. And Murphy didn’t get much ‘“‘space.”” Just an ordinary an- nouhcement of the hiring of a new player. On the other hand, when Frank Chance went to Chicago to sign with the Yankees the papers gave the ‘‘Peerless Leader’ columns of reading matter, Then that alleged salary of $40,000 a year which Chance is supposed to get, completely overshadowed Murphy's offer of $18,834 te Bresnahan. George Davis, the veteran shortstop who with Fielder Jones, Ed Walsh and Billy Sullivan won a bevy of buntings for the Chicago Americans, just can't stay out of baseball. He has signed to coach the Am- herst College team, after trying desperately te remain in “legitimate” business, Connie Mack is up to something again.

Considerable importance is at- tached to the outcome as a defeat will rele- gate Central all but out of the race. On the gther hand a victory for Yeatman means that the championship will rest between it and McKinley. Reporta, emanating from the ‘‘gyma’’ of both schools, are to the effect that a victory is anticipated on both sides.

By Harry S. Sharpe. Referee for the Future A. C. and the Post-Dispatch Boxing Authority. The boxing show given by the Future City Athletic Club, Friday night, was sufficiently entertaining to well repay those rmenmbers who journeyed to the clubhouse and took their accustomed seats about the ringside. President Tommy Suilivan had arranged a card in which the names of no champions or near champions appeared, but plenty of action resulted in the five contests staged. The boxers ranged from featherweight to heavyweight, and the performance they gave was a varied one. There Was good boxing, poor boxing, tragedy and comedy, but, taken all in all, we may never see the like again and, therefore, those who remained away have some cause for regret. Th show opened with a_ six-round bout between Oliver Bishop of this city and Arlos Fanning from Bartlesville, Ok. It was the latter’s first appear- ance in St. Louls and he made a good impreasion. Coming into the fring weighing about 112 pounds, he was forced to meet a clever boy who out- weighed him some 10 or 11 pounds. Hecwever, the little fellow went at it with a determination to do the best he could and he stayed the limit. He was outpointed by his heavier oppon- ent. but he landed some blows thai might have slowed up a lighter boy. As a matter of fact, Fanning probably landed the hardest blow of the bout when, in the fifth round, he deposited a well-placed left swing to Bishop’s jaw that had behind it all the strength he could muster, and the St. Louis boy was made to spin away like a top. It may be said for Bishop, however, that his work in the ring shows decided Improvement, particularly in his judg- rent of distance. Gomes a Marathon Man. Then came Monte Dale, an old St. Louls favorite, who began his career here as an amateur, and has since boxed such good ones as Battling Nelson. He was matched with “Soldier” Gomez, a red-haired aspirant from Jefferson Bar- racks, and they boxed six rounds at 133 pounds. This was not intended to be a burlesque when the match was made, but !t certainly proved to be one of the “scream” variety. For the first three rounds it appeared to be a sort of Mar- athon, with Gomez going backward in a circle about the ring, and Dale following close up, but having some difficulty to keep the pace. The Suldier was in re- treat with the enemy pressing him close, but seldom within striking distance. However, in the fourth round the boy from Jefferson Barracks took his stand and prepared to fight it out to the last ditch. Stopping long enough for Dale to catch up, he then slowly backed into a corner, and then, as Dale came to him, he lurched out swinging both hands, and, much to the surprise of everybody, and Dale, in particuiar, he landed some blows that made Monte gnort like a por- poise, and the St. Louls boy went to his corner breathing pretty hard. In the next round Dale got even by peel- tng the skin from the bridge of the soldier’s nose and the latter will return to the bar- racks bearing this mark of battle, the only evidence of his effort to shine in the ring. Harry Sharpe’s Decisions Arlos Fanning of Bartlesville, Ok., vs. Oliver Bishop of St. Louis, 6 rounds at 122 pounds—Bishop the winner on points. Monte Dale of St. Louis vs. “Sol- dier’’ Gomez of Jefferson Barracks, Mo., 6 rounds at 133 pounds—Dale the winner on points. Joe Geiger of-St. Louis vs. “Bat- tliing Wells of Cincinnati, O., 6 rounds at 145 pounds—Wells the winner; Geiger knocked out in the third round. Paddy Kelly of St. Louis vs. Jimmy Foley of Canada, 8 rounds at 133 pounds—draw. Ed Mvroka (Kingdon Belmont) of CollinsvjMe, Ill., vs. Terry Turner of Cin ati, JO., 8 rounds at 166 pounds—Mvr@ka the winner on points. onds, while the referee was keeping watch and for some seconds thereafter. When Gel- ger at last sat up and took notice, the ‘battler’? from Cincinnat! was already in his dressing room telling how it happened. Leo Reichenbach, special adviser of Geiger, sat at the ringside and coached his protege, but the ‘‘dope’’ went wrong and each after- wards blamed the other. Wells is the best boxer Geiger has been called upon to meet. The iF Pte Som is a clever lad, an ex- cellent-jJudge oF tance and demonstrated that he hag the punch. One Rough-House Bout. Jimmy Foley and Paddy Kelly gave an exhibition of rough work for eight rounds, at 188 pounds. There was but little boxing science displdyed and it was hardly more than @ mere banging of gloves, first one having the advantage and then the other. Foley was best at long range, while Kelly was best at close quarters and frequently made Foley break ground when they stood toe to toe hammering away at the body. Both were guilty of much clinching and holding and some hitting while holding, contrary to the rules. Turner Is Outweighed. Ed Mvroka, a miner from Collinsville, IL, who has been given the name of Kingdon Belmont for occasions when he performs the ring. and Terry Turner of Cincinnati, O., appeared in the main event of eight rounds, and the weight was announced as 165 pounds. It may have been for Mvroka, but it was about 154 for Turner. The latter is a weil- proportioned, powerfully built athlete, but a handicap in the weights and reach was too much for him and he was beaten by the miner, though he gave a good account of himself. On several occasions he used a left hook to the jaw and a good left jab that reached their mark with unerring sim, but Mvroka takes to punishment like a duck does to water, and no material damage was done. Mvroka was the aggressor and out- boxed his smaller opponent, but the jatter soon won the crowd's sympathy because of his willingness and ability to assimilate punches that would have put a less courage- ous man decidedly to the bad. He was made to clinch frequently to save himself and sev- eral times went to the mat without being hit, but his efforts to last the limit won the crowd’s respect and he was loudly cheered. It is probable that against an opponent who did not have so great a natural advantage as that possessed by Mvroka, the Cincinnati boxer Gould give a good account, but he was handicapped last night out ef reason. Rieman Heads Mound City R. ©. | DUT HE IS REAL WORLD'S “GhAM? Early Defeats of Ritchie and Wolgast Basis of His Contention. HIS CLAIM IS ABSURD Wolgast Was a Featherweight and Ritchie a Kid When He Defeated Them. By Robert Edgren. A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. The English papers are full of stories about Freddy Welsh, who received & “world’s lightweight championship belt” from the National Sporting Club of London after defeating Hughie Me- hegan of Australia. Freddy’s argument in support of his pretense to the title is peculiar. He says that he once knocked out Wolgast in a training bout when Ad was @ featherweight. Therefore his right to the title is better than Wolgast’s. Also that he has a decision over Willie Ritchie, which eliminates Ritchie. Me- hegan was champion of Australia, and the bout in the N. S. C. was adver- tised as a “world’s championship.” Leave it to the Englishmen to try to get by proclamation what they can’t win. Nobody ever had better right to @ championship title than Willie Ritchie. Kid Lavigne, American lightweight champion, went to England in 18%, and fought Dick Burge, English champion. The English lightweight in those days ecaled 140 pounds, and Burge was con- sidered unbeatable. Lavigne whipped him and became champion of the world. Lavigne lost his championship to Frank Erne, Erne lost to Joe Gans. Gans lost to Battling Nelson, Nelson lost to Ad Wolgast. Wolgast lost to Willie Ritchie. And where, in that straight succes- sion of champions, does Freddy Welsh fit? Freddy’s joke claim rests on an al- leged “knockout” of Ad Wolgast in training quarters when Ad was a featherweight, long before he became champion, and upon a decision over Willie Ritchie when Willie was still nm novice, long before Willie became champion through defeating Wolgast. Yet all the English papers solemnly print half-page articles setting forth Freddy's arguments, and columns of rejoicing over the supposed fact that he is champion because he has beaten an Australian lightweight named Me- hegan. And how Freddy follows the example set by real champions. “I shall take a rest now,”’ he writes, “as I shall need it. I will accept some theatrical offers ypen to me, but make no other arrange- ments for the future.’’ “It was peculiar that Welsh should win the world’s title In London,” says the London Daily Express. Yes, very peculiar.

But their presumptions have founda- tions of sand. Welsh has not only been given a decision over Ritchie on American soil, and by an American ref- eree, but he has also, as he divulges for the first time, knocked out Ad Wol- gast.”’ “Divulges. for the first time” is rich.

A weather map indicating low tem- peratures and a freeze over the win- ter wheat belt, which traders said was liable to injure the growing plant following the rain of the past two days, gave wheat futures 4 steady tone Saturday. The chance Yor a break in the Balkan peace negotia- tions also made sellers cautious, de- spite the fact that Liverpool cables closed only %*d to %d higher follow- ing our rather sharp advance of Fri- ay. The elimination of a rather exten- sive short interest on the war scare at the close of the preceding session weakened the technical position of the market and caused the pit trad- ers to play for a reaction. Corn futures were easier on the elimination of the shorts in Friday’s bulge, increased country selling, due to the recent 3c advance, and a pro fessional belief that present prices are high enough at this season. Oats reflected some slight selling pres- sure along with the other coarse grain. Wire service still was badly crippled from the recent storms. Minneapolis wheat receipts were 284 cars, against 178 last week and 215 last year. Duluth, 126, against 309 and 8. Winnipeg, 406, against 488 and 72. Local wheat receipts were 104,400 bu, or 565 cars local, 32 through; last year, 16,800 bu, or 14 cars local. Corn receipts, 87,600 bu, or 46 cars local, 27 through; last year, 80,400 bu, or 63 cars local, 4 through. Oats receipts, 78,200 bu, or 18 cars local, 28 through; last year, 11,900 bu, or 7 cars local. Broomhall’s Liverpool review said: “The wheat market opened with a moderate covering by shorts and prices higher and later there was a further advance, with offers light. The strength in America and firmness in Buenos Ayres, together with firmness of Cana- dian offers, contributed to the advance. The advance was checked by the smaller inquiry for both cargoes and parcels, |: freer Plate offers and predictions of larger Argentine —_ next week and liberal American shipments as indicated by Bradstreet’s. The /market on the whole was dull’ but steady, with the question of Argentine/exports holding the balance of power. “Corn opened td to %d higher and later advanced Yd, with the undertone firm. The strength in America, firm- ness in Buenos Ayres and the fact that a cargo of Plate corn destined to Liver- pool has been diverted to the Continent caused the covering. The weather in Argentine continues fine. *“‘Buenos Ayres wheat closed firm, 2%c higher, in sympathy with American strength and higher foreign bids. Cor- tracts are hard to make and are causing. and | apprehension. Corn firm, %d higher, oats %d higher. There continues a good export demand for both corn and oats and holders are firm.” Clearances—Wheat, 803,000 bu; flour, 49,000; corn, 196,000; oats, 17,000; wheat and flour, 1,024,000.

em | THE PARCEL POST In view of the fact th ulations governing the new Parcel Post system contain Henao eeerpiening and involved provisions, the Post-Dispatch will, for several days, present @ concise explanation of some of these ambiguous sections. Explanation No. 2 Parcel Post matter mailed at any city carrier office, or at any point within its delivery limits for delivery by carriers from that office, or at any office for local delivery, is mailable at the local rate, which is 5 cents for the first pound or fraction of a pound, and 1 cent for pach additional pound or fraction. For example: Anyone desiring to mail a 10-pound package from his home or place of business in the city of St. Louis for delivery in the city may do so for 14 cents. A St. Louis merchant mailing the same article to Alton would be required to pay 32 cents. Thus the local shipper has the advantage over outside competitors. Do. not overlook the necessity for distinctive stamps on parcel post “aenggee te tee postage stamps will cause the bundle to be ‘‘held IF YOU NEED A Parcel Post Wall Map | THE POST-DISPATCH CAN SUPPLY IT. The POST-DISPATCH is prepared to meet a limited demand for the new”’Parcel Post Wall Map. This Map is essentially the Map for St. Louis shippers. It has a distinct ad- vantage over other Parcel Post Maps in that IT IS A REGULAR MAP OF THE UNITED STATES AND A PARCEL POST UNIT MAP COMBINED (Plus a Map of — on its Reverse side). SS on nt tt 11-13 PRESENT THIS COUPON The Post-Dispatch offers these PARCEL POST WALL MAPS at cost. The quantity is limited. There is one, but not more than one, for each business concern who will send a messenger to the publication office of the Post-Dispatch with this coupon and twenty cents (20). No city mail orders.

KANSAS CITY WIVES IN CO-OPERATIVE MARKET Three Hundred Join League: to Lessen the Cost of Living by Direct Dealing. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 11.—The Housewive’s League of Kansas City has been organized here to combat the high cost of living by co-operation. Three kundred women enrolled at the initial meeting. “We are not going to jump into the matter with our eyes closed and trust to luck to bring results,” said Mrs. W. Q. Church, who called the meeting and who was elected president. “Whatever we do wiil: be started on a small scale and then allowed to develop as the need for growth becomes apparent.’’ One plan is the institution of a house- wive’s market, to act as a clearing house for products directly from the producer to the consumer. Deliveries from such a market will be made only at an extra charge and all orders will be payable in cash. The charge, added to that of the original cost, will be suf- ficient only to pay expenses of the mar- ket. The labor of members of the league in rotation each day of the week will lighten expenses.
