~— HARVEY'S AD TO ~ WATCH GILL CASE ~ FOR VOTE FRAUDS Circuit Miceccn’ ih Details Hiram Moore to Attend Congression- | al Election Contest. WILL ‘ACT ON EVIDENCE Congressman Dyer Refuses to Join Derhocrat in Asking Con- gress to Investigate. Circuit Attorney Harvey Thursday af- ternoon detailed Hiram Moore, one of his assistants, to attend the hearings ef the Gill-Dyer Twelfth District con- @ressional election contest. Moore will follow up such evidence of election fraud as develops in the hearing, for the pur- pose of indicting and convicting persons who have committed such frauds. Congressman Dyer, whose title to his _ seat is being contested by Michael J. Gili, Democratic candidate at last No- VYember’s election, refused to comply with a request of Gill’s lawyer, Charles J. Maurer, that he join. in a request to Congress to send a committee here to investigate the Twelfth District election, The purpose of the proposed investiga- tion, it was stated, would be the punish- ment of persons guilty of fraud. Regards It as “Tommyrot.” Dyer said he regarded the proposition as “tommyrot.” A contest for a con- gressional seat, he said, takes a regular form, and is referred, when it reaches Congress, to a certain committee. The Punishment of fraud, he said, was a matter for local prosecuting authorities to deal with. Dyer added that the present Con- Bress had nothing to do with the quali- fications of members of the new Con- gress which comes into existence March 4. He.is now sitting as a member of the Congress to which he was elected in 1910. “I challenge Gill or John Elspermann,”’ he said, ‘“‘to ask ‘for the indictment of men whom they. consider responsible for irrégularities in the Fifth Ward. Let's hdve sonie action from them, and hot so much talk.” The Fifth’ Ward recount was nearly finished by noon Thursday. The four- teenth precinct recount transferred 20 votes from Dyer to Gill, making a total This educes by 440 the plurality of 732 which yer ha@ on the face of the returns, Gill announced Wednesday that he Would present'the case both to the Cir- pult Attorney and the United States Dis- rict Attorney, and would seek to have recinct of the Fifth Ward prosecuted Por penal offenses against the election hws. ‘Mreebeuter’s Attitude. District Attorney Houts said he did not believe the I’ederal Statutes would apply to the matter, as even Congress- men are elected under the provisions of state laws. There is no doubt of the ap>licability of state laws, and the task mvolved.in the proposed prosecutions w only one of getting sufficient evi- lence. ‘ “If there is a case of election fraud, uch as the newspaper accounts have in- Hicated,” sgid Harvey to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, “I shall present it srromptiy to the grand jury. I shall tell he grand jurors what the law is, and hey can determine the facts. Gill and tis lawyer have not presented the mat- er to me thus far, but I assume that hey will.’’ In the Fifth Ward, Second Precinct, he recount has shown that 75 votes vere cast for Gill, and only five votes vere counted. Irregularities Found. Irregularities were discovered in the NNfth Ward, ninth precinct, where 22 Democratic ballots were found on rhich Dyer’s name had been written mder Gill's, without scratching Gill's. "hese had been counted for Dyer, hough under the law they should have founted for neithér. It was said that byer’s name was written in the same and each of the 23 times it appeared n the ballot. y *ZAR’S BROTHER LOSES RANK BY HIS. MARRIAGE irand Duke Michael. Also Must Have a Guardian. ST.

Norvell, Democrat, is elected Mayor of St. Louis. He explained the significance of this slogan to a Post- Dispatch reporter Wednesday after- noon just after he lad made an ad- idress before the St. Louis Advertising Men's League at the City Club. In the course of this address Norvell! hal said: ‘In busines it my policy to make the other fellow do as much of the work as possible. If I am forced to assume the duties of an executive office, I shall insist that my advisers do their share of the work.’ Norvell, when approached as he was leaving the City Club, at first declined to enlarge upon the ideas he had ex- pressed in his speech. He said he did no* want to be put in the apparent position of giving out a formal and voluntary statement as to the policies which he would adopt if elected Mayor. Later, he consented to talk at greater length about some of the points sug- gested in his address, for the reason that his speaking time had been limited and this limitation had made it impos- sible for him to make some of the points as clear as they might have been made in a longer speech. Applies to Voluntary Advisers. “When I said that I always made the other fellow do as much of the work as possible I meant that I always tried to develop the greatest possible effi- ciency in the men who worked with me or for me,” said Norvell. “If elected Mayor I should apply this policy not only to the salaried working force of the city, but to those voluntary advisers who are always ready to tell a Mayor what the city needs'and what should be done to advance the city’s interests. ‘T want all the advice I can get, but advice alone will not run a city. When a business man or a business organi- ration comes to me I will listen to their advice, and then I will say: “Tf this is going to be a good thing for St. Louis, it is going to be a good thing for you. Now, what are you pre- pared to do to help it along? ‘“*Are you prepared to take off your coat and go to work? Are you willing to furnish money if necessary? Put up or shut up.’ “That's the way to run a city. Make everybody feel that the general welfare is also his welfare. A man that simply sits around and talks about what ought to be done, and réfuses to help get it done, is no good. He is a drawback rather than an aid to civic improve- ment. “T believe that the way to get results is to get them. When there is a thing that ought to be done, go right and do it in the most direct way. And in most cases the direct way is the business- like way. I am a business man and I believe that the same methods used

SAUNDERS NORVELL, in developing a business can be success- fully used in developing a city. “St. Louis Needs Advertising.” “One thing St. Louis needs is. adver- tising. If I were Mayor I would appoint a commission of business men to see that every shipment out of St. Louis had something on it to show where it came from—that it was a St. Louis prod- uct or that it was being distributed by St. Louis jobber. The members of th commission would be the best business men I could find and they wouldn’t re- ceive any pay for their work. I’d make them see that it was to their own ad- vantage to give a part of their time to boosting St. Louis. “There would be nothing to prevent me from appointing commissions of this kind so long as it would involve no ex- pense to the city. “I would make tke businéss interests of St. Louis help in advertising the city. I have no doubt they could even be in- duced to form a fund to pay for ad- yertising the city in the daily news- Papers, the magazines and on the bill- boards. J “In fact, I do not see why many pub- lic projects could not be paid for with funds collected by business men or busi- ness organizations in cases where there was no municipal appropriation to do the work. The thing is to get the work cone.”’ Norvell does not think this idea of pri- vately premoted public work could be applied in the cases of contract jobs like the free bridge or other classes of work in which there is a prescribed legal form of procedure to be followed. Urges More Production Here. “But,” he said, ‘‘there are many acti- vities which cannot strictly be classed as municipal work but still have a direct bearing on the advancement of the city. The men who want these things done should be willing to pay for them. “There are factories, for instance. Every business man knows that St. Louis needs more small factories. In- stead of bringing these factories from other cities, We ought to start them ourselves. “Jobbers should not be content with handling goods made. in other cities. They should try their hands at produc- tion. They should rent vacent buildings and establish experimental factories. If they made no, money the first two or three years they could charge the loss to development expenses. ‘These experimental factories would be ideal training schools for young men and women. They would supplement the technical education furnished by our schools. In time-these factories would be placed on a paying basis, and in a curprisingly short time St. Louis would he placed on the map as a manufactur- ing center. “Such ventures involve personal sac- rifices, but that is the underlying idea of civic service. Men must make per- sonal sacrifices to advance the commun. ity in which they make their profits. That is the civic spirit I will try to arouse in St. Louis. 1.e With a request that is purely person- al and selfish I will show him the. door. He'll have to get out. Would Publish City Paper. “I believe the fair name of St. Louis should be defended. If I am Mayor and the newspapers print lies about ny adqd- ministration and those lies are of such a character that they injure the reputa- tion of St. Louis I shall start a munici- pal newspaper which will tell the truth. If there is no available city money with which to publish the paper I will get the money elsewhere. There are enough public-spirited citizens of St. Louis to furnish the funds to run a municipal paper if it is needed. And if the news. papers continued to lie about my admin- istration I would go even further. I would buy advertising space tn the pa- pers that lied and I'd use that space to refute their lies in their own columns.” SENATOR BALLOT FalILs Hampshire.

St. Charles Farmers’ Think Wrestler Doing Shadow Box- ing Is Insane.

ATTEMPT TO CALM HIM

Failing in This They Chase Bob May, Who Flees When Expla- nations Are Unaccepted. Bob May, a professional wrestler of St. Charles, was doing a little road work in the vicinity of the Em- in St. Wednesday mans Insane Asylum County. May was jogging along the road in the abbreviated costume of a runner when two farmers saw him. They watched him in amazement. * “Do you reckon he’s a bug?’ one of them asked. ‘“Sure,’’ rejoined the other. ‘‘Nobody Lut a nut would be out on a day like this in them kind of clothes.’”’ The suspicion became certainty when Bob stopped for a little shadow boxing. As if fighting with an imaginary per- son, he began ducking, guarding, strik- ing out with right and left, advancing, retreating, whirling upon one foot and launching out savagely with both fists. The farmers decided they ought to do something. “That's all right, old feller,"’ one of them said to May. - “Yeu've got him licked now. We won't let him hit you again.’’ “What the’’—— began May. “It’s all right now, old @hap,” the other farmer said. ‘‘We’re your friends. We won't let nobody hit you. You come nxJong with us and we'll see nobody hurts you.”’ ‘“‘Hurt me!’ howled May. “Who the samhill do you think’s going to hurt ine?” Then followed a dialogue at cross pur- poses until May discovered the suspi- cion in the minds of the farmers. The more he argued the more soothingly the farmers talked to him and the more de- termined they became to take him to the asylum.

In desperation May jerked away from, them and started to run. The farmers followed him. Already wearied by his exercises, May was unable to make much speed, and several times the farm- ers almost overtook him. After a half raile the wrestler’s superior training told, and the farmers reluctantly gave up the chase. RICHARD HARDING DAVIS’ WIFE RETURNS TO STAGE Bessie McCoy Says Women Should Do More Than Milk Cows and Feed Chickens. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—When Bessie McCoy, the “Yama Yama Girl,’”’ became the bride of Richard Harding Davis last July, she was positive she never would return to the stage, but yesterday afternoon she admitted that the call of the footlights had proved too strong to be resisted. “I most certainly intend to return to the stage,’’ said Mrs. Davis over the telephone from her husband’s home at Mount Kisco. “I have not completed @ny arrangements as yet, but in all biobability I will resume my work un- der the direction of C. B. Dillingham, my old manager. ‘“{ have never been able to believe that a woman’s work should consist enly in milking cows or feeding chick- ens, and so I am going back to do some real work.

Sadler, Assistant City At- torney, who acts as prosecutor in the Dayton Street Police Court, Thursday discovered the name of his father, Mor- ris B.. Sadler, in the list of persons to be tried. The elder Sadler had been summoned by Patrolman Joergens for failing to re- move the snow from the pavement in front of his home at 4401 Delmar boule- vard. The defendant did not appear, however, and his son's position became still more embarrassing. The Assistant City Atte-ney had either to enter a nolle pros or ask that an attachment be issued for his father. Henry R.

A BITTENBY DOGS 5 OWNERS CALLED TO COURT IN A DAY Summonses Are Issued = on Charge of Letting Unmuzzled Animals Run at Large.

Girl Bitten by a Pocdle Dies of Hydrophobia NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 16. AUDE CARSON, 14 years old, MI a daughter of Arthur Car- son, a policeman, died this morning of hydrophobia. She was bitten by a pet French poodle two weeks ago, but paid no attention to the bite. Monday she became ill, rapidly growing worse, and last night she was seized with convulsions. Three physicians pronounced the “ase one of hydrophobia.

Four persons bitten by dogs and five summoned to Police Court on charges of permitting unmuzzled.dogs to run a‘ large, was the record of the first 24 hours following Chief Young’s command to the police to enforce strictly the dog- muzzling order recently issued by the Boar¢ of Health. It was said at police headquarters that more Police Court summonses prob- ebly would have been: issued had not the captains in some of the districts de- cided to give dog owners three days of grace, to make sure that everybody would have time to learn of the order end comply with it. The prevalence of rabies, as shown by .tatistics from the Board of Health, has alarmed the officials of Kirkwood into beginning a crusade similar to that be- ing conducted in St. Louis, An order issued Tuesday by the Kirkwood Board of Health and effective at noon Thurs- Gay, gave Marshal Fred Dohr authority to shoot every unmuzzied dog found in the streets of that town. Kirkwood now has a genuine rabies scare, following the discovery by Dr. Downey L. Harris, St. Louls City Bac- teriologist, that a dog which bit two Kirkwood men, Monday, was suffering from rabies. William Bernstein and Hugh Burns, who were bitten, will be given the Pas- teur treatment, according to Dr. R. C. Forsyth, who is attending Burns The FINANCIER CALLS BOARDS ARI ARE WRONG He Would Inctrpetete Clon Houses if Business ing Competition | — WASHINGTON, Jan, ‘146.—That the present concentration of money and credit is a potential “menace to the country,” was asserted before the House Money Trust Committee today by George M. Reynolds, president of the Continental and Commercial National Rank of Chicago. Mr. Reynolds said that he knew of the “trend .toward concentration of * money and credits” and he thought it a dangerous thing. “I am opposed to the concentration of | any sort of power,” he said. “I believe that concentration to the point it has already gone is a menace. In saying that I do not wish to sit in judgment on the men who hold that power.” Mr. Reynolds said he was opposed to the principle of interlocking directors in potentially competing concerns and that he had adhered to that principle throughout his banking career. Opposes Interlocking Directors. Mr. Reynolds could not make any spe- cific recommendation as to remedying the concentration of money and credit, but was sure the prevention of interlock- . ing directors in competing concerns would have a gdod@ effect, In conclu- “eompetition was. not dead,” but he be-- return to competitive conditions. Mr. Reynolds said he would approve of a law giving minority stockholders in national banks the right of repre- sentation on the Board of Directors and would approve a law incorporating clear- ing houses so long as it did not inter- fere with the free conduct of business. “TI am in favor of the utmost regula- tion and publicity,” he sald. , Reynolds was waiting to testify before the Currency Reform Committee, another section of the House Banking and Currency Committée, later today, and while the Money Trust investigators were waiting for Jacob H. Schiff, Chair- man Pujo swore Reynolds as a witness. He testified the capital of his bank was $21,500,000 and its surplus $9,000,000. The average deposits were $131,000,000, An affillated trust company, he said, had capital of $3,000,000, surplus of $1,500,000 and deposits of about $20,000,000. An af- fliiated savings bank, he said, had $1,- 500,000 capital and the same amount in surplus, with deposits of about $29,- 000,000. Of resources about $200,000,000 in the national bank, he said, about $190,000,00 was out on commercial paper. Reynolds said his Sank had taken In the following institutions; 1898, the In- ternational Bank, depocits, $1,000 00; 1500, Globe National Bank, $2,000,000; 1004, National Bank of North America, 9%9,- 000,000; 1909, American Trust and fav- ings Co., $22,000,000. In these mergers Reynolds said, the big bank had ac- quired about $95,000,000. In addition, by ratural growth, the bank had acquired about $86,000,000. The Continental and Commercial, Rey. nolds said, loaned money to ita own di- rectors and corporations with which they were connected, but did not lend it to its own officers. He did not belleve of- ficers should be allowed to borrow from their own banks. Bank Employs Examiner. Reynolds declared the Chicago Clear- ing House was the first to employ »@ bank examiner. “Was that because you found the Fed- eral inspectors inefficient?” asked Un- termyer. “Yes, at that time we found ft Inef- ficient in connection with the three banks of John R.

Grosh declared he would not comply with the order, and a row has broken out which threatens to break up the re- ception. Grosch is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds. He thinks knee trousers are more becoming than long ones, and refuses to leave off the knickerbockers. This has been the sub- ject of many discussions in tMe class, and*the matter came to a climax at the class meeting. Elmer Bierbaum presented the for- mal resolution, which called upon Grosch to don trousers of the length the other seniors think the dignities of graduation demand. Out of the Ij members of the class 15 voted for the resolution. Only one of the girls voted against it. She is Miss Bessie McKee, who made a rpirited speech in behalf of Leo’s short trousers. She declared it was Leo's own business how he shall dress and nobody l.as any right to interfere. Leo defiant- ly declared he would not be bound by the resolution and he and Miss McKee voted against it. Several of the boys threatened to buy a pair of long trousers and use force to make Leo wear them. Leo said he would give the best possible account of himself if any such attempt is made.

Following a series of seven letters threatening death to Joseph Viviano, a wholesale grocer at 801 Wash street, whless he paid to the senders $5000, a part of the cornice of the two-story brick Louse occupied by Viviano and his wife at 80 Wash street was blown off at 12:10 o’clock Thursday morning by some maans not as yet discovered by the po- lice. It was about the twelfth such outrage in five years, according to Police Capt. Schoppe of the Carr Street District. Police Chief Young, when questioned by a Post-Dispatch reporter as to the failure of the police to bring the per- petrators to justice, said that because of the clannishness of factions in the Malian quarter, and the fact that nearly all residents there use a foreign lan- “nage and are reticent, anyway, Black Hand crimes are among the most diffi- fult which the police have to solve. Several insurance companies, the Chief said, have canceled all fire and plate glass insurance in the Sicilian ~ DEI Delloved by the police a hom ~ aT 3 0c Linoleum | | $8.50 Seamless Wool Fiber Rugs $25 Velvet Rugs, $9.85 | $25 Dining « a Suit

Some window panes in the tailor shop of Charles Landau, 804 Wash street, and in the dry goods store of Morris Gordon, 806 Wash street, were shattered. Oecupants of House Unhurt,. Viviano and his wife, who were asleep in their home, were unhurt. The sound Was heard by the police at the Carr Street Station, and a rush for the place / Was made. Viviano had reported to the police that “he had received the seven threatening letters, the last one eight days ago. In them he was told that unless he went to * the end of the Bellefontaine car line and , delivered to the first man who accosted * “him there a package containing $5000, he * and his gon, Thomas Viviano of 1436 Carr . Street, would be killed. '.» Last December Thomas Viviano re- , @elved three similar letters, followed by * an explosion of dynamite under one of the side windows of his huuse. The dam- “Age to the place was about $200. ' | The police are investigating a possible ‘eonnection of G. Viviano, said to be a , distant relative of Joseph Viviano, with these letters, all marked with the black hand and the skull and cross-bones, and ahe subsequent explosions. G. Viviano was arrested about a year _ @go on suspicion of being one of four '.+ men who attempted to extort money ' from G. Lefeta. It was found that he Was a notorious crook in Italy, with a ' -@onsiderable criminal record, and he _ . was deported by the Federal! authoriti>s. os ‘It was believed by the police that G. ' YViviano had some connection with the - @eath of Salvatore Leoni, whose head- +. tess body was found in an ash pit at hy Ninth and Carr streets a year ago. Letters Ceased After Deportation. | Following the deportation of Vivian» : Ti pee receipt of black hand letters by St. ; Louis Italians, which» had been numer- ; ous, suddenly ceased. A few weeks FT neo, such letters again begar to be —— to the police. The last -9ne, prior to those received by Viviano, de- ,manded $1000 from Dr. G. Capelei, who SE iorranees to cut down the sum to $250 3 and through a ruse aided the officers in a "arresting 19 Italians, whose cases now jeare in the Federal court. > After the explosion at Joseph Vivi- | | ano‘s house Thursday the police arrest- 4 Ee ed three persons in the ne!ghborhecod, put all were released. Es Capt. Schoppe told a Post-Dispatch re- ae lowe er that the police are unable to : iiteace the senders of threatening letters because the Italians fear each other More than they fear the police. >| # =“Those who receive such letters,” he : ie “will not co-operate with us. We _ | never hear of such threats until an ex- + plosion like the one this morning com- "| pem some explanation. Twelve Traced to Biack Hand. _ “I have been in this district five years, end I should say that there have been “about one dozen explosion of this sort, “traceable to the black hand men. Many other explosions, such as gasoline, stoves ving up, have been erroneously at- ted to the black hand. “The perpetrators of the outrages ap- therely to intend giving their vic- a bad fright.

John Fries as he walked through an alley back of thee Fries home, *410 E)- liot avenue, at 2:30 p. m. Elzie treated his injury at home and Fries was charged with permitting an unmuzzled dog to run at large. Although St. Louis County is. now harboring stray dogs in large numbers, Kirkwood is the only town in the coun- ty to adopt a muzzling order. The other incorporated towns have muzzling ordi- nances effective in summer only, not- withstanding the fact that rabies js known to be as prevalent in winter as during the hot months, Maplewood has 225 licensed dogs and about 40 strays, according to the esti- mate of Marshal Ruck. The dogs were shot by Ruck several days ago. One was a valuable dog owned by Orville Pier, and the other was a dog. which had bitten the Piers’ pet and was supposed ts be mad, Mrs. Pier, who fondled their dog after it had been bitten, now is tak- ing the Pasteur treatment, fearing that scme of the dog’s saliva may have touched an abrasion on one of her rands. Physicians say rabies can be easily cOmmunicated in this manner. Wellston Stray Dog Haven. Webster Groves has 507 licensed dogs and approximately 100 strays, the city officials say. Ferguson has about 100

licensed dogs, but there are few strays in the town, Grimm. A. C. Albers, Mayor of Florissant, estimates the number of dogs in that town at 50 and says neither licenses nor other restrictions are in force. according to Marshal -~ BITTEN GIRL GETS $300 VERDICT IN DOG CASE

The late Senator Vest's famous eulogy on the dog failed to prevent a verdict against Frederick W. Kay in the suit for $00 damages against him brought ten on the left leg by defendant's dog. A jury in Cireult Judge Grimm's Court returned a verdict for $300 in fav- or of the girl Wednesday, after listen- ing to the reading of Senator Vest's eulogy by Oscar E. Buder, attorney for Kay. The attorney hoped that this would influence the jurors so that their punishment of his client would be light. He embraced the reading of it in his argument in the case.

It was agreed in the adjournment resolution that no further balloting on the speakership would take place until next Tuesday. Representative John M. Rapp of Fair- | field, a prominent down-State Democrat, swung into the lead in the speakership fight on the thirty-fifth ballot, when the 25 Progressives and the Hubbard Democrats threw their strength to him. Rapp received 59 votes, and passed Ho- mer J. Tice, who, with 50 Republicans behind him, had .been high man since the balloting began. The Sullivan Democrats behind Mc- Laughlin of Chicago and Karch of Belle- ville refused to become flurried by the action, and held tight in their previous attitude. Rapp, however, apparently had reached his high mark, for, on the thir- ty-sixth ballot, he dropped to 57 votes. On the thirty-seventh the Progressives deserted Rapp and swung to Hubbard, Democrat, giving Hubbard g total of 47, ani leaving Rapp with but foeur. Result of the thirty-seventh ballot fol- lows: Tice, 50; Hubbard, 47; McLaughlin, 32; Karch, 22; Rapp, 4; Stedman, 4; Ryan, 3.

Y., Jan. 16—The peti- tion of the World to Gov. Sulzer, urging him to commute the gentence of Foulke E. Brandt, former Schiff valet, now serving a term of 30 yearg at Danne- tnore for burglary, has been formally delivered to the Governor. The Governor said he would take up the matter Friday and repeated thut he desired “‘substantial justice” be done Brandt. He will have Brandt brought here to attend the hearing on the petition. The action of the Governor in ordering Warden Kaisser to produce Brandt at tis office is rather unprecedented and sticklers for the observance of red tape methods declare such a step is illegal. Attorney-General Carmody, who has all along urged the reconsideration of the sentence originally given Brandt by the pardon process, justifies the pro- duction of the former Schiff servant on the graund of expediency. Gov. Sulzer concurred in the opinion of the Attorney-General on the ground that “There has been nonsense enouga about this matter,” and Brandt will be brought to Albany tonight. a © mana ——— SWOPE’S JANUARY SALE OF SHOES will begin Friday morning.

Inc. Vrs — ; . N THESE DAYS we are used to talking in round figures. So that it 2 ~ ae is not an uncommon thing to hear or see advertised that “you can a YX \ ab save a hundred dollars by buying this piano’’—or a “hundred and fifty dollars by buying that piano” or “two hundred dollars by buying the other piano.” Now, the plain facts are that it takes the hardest kind of concentration and the heartiest co-operation between the manufacturer, the dealer and the customer to effect a real, genuine saving. We are not talking now of asmall reduction of say five to ten per cent. There are circumstances coming up from time to time which might make such a saving possible. (Ten per cent. on a three hundred and fifty dollar piano is then only thirty-five dollars. But we are now talking of a real saving; a big saving. * A saving which is genuine and which is worth the while and which is worth making a whole lot of sacrifices to obtain. ae ‘ 7 Such a saving is this; on these pianos.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Gen. Cipri- ano Castro’s appeal from the decision of the immigration authorities at New York barring him from admission to the United States, wes received today by Secretary Nagel, who will give it immediate consideration. The Secretary will first take up the decision of the Special Board of Inquiry, which held that Castro’s refusal to an- swer certain questions relating to his alleged connection with the assassina- tion of Gen. Paredes in Venezuela, amounted to an admission of the com- mission of a crime involving moral tur- pitude, or an obstruction to the legiti- mate efforts of administrative officers to ascertain facts to determine his right to enter. In a similar case, several months ago, in which an Austrian immigrant re- fused to answer questions regarding 3 bank robbery with which he was said to have been connected, Secretary Nagel! sustained such a ruling. The case went to the courts, but was decided in the Governments favor on another point. It is expected Castro's case will reach the courts, and the far-reaching question involved will be decided judicially for the first time. In a statement issued by Commission- er of Immigration Williams it is charged Castro ‘Shas committed frequent per- jury’’ by pretending to. “‘be ignorant of matters concerning which a man of his intelligence and holding the position which he did, undoubtedly possesses | er Ms knowledge.”

I continued the use of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root until I regard- ed myself as cured and am now in very good health. I recommended it to a neighbor who has used it with the same results. I regard your remedy, Swamp-Root, as a preparation that will do all you claim for it. MRS. ALBERT STERNER, Cressona, Pa.

THE POST-DISPATCH PLATFORM. I know that my retirement will make no difference in its cardinal principles, that it will always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, al- ways fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privi- leged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always ré- main devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, al- ways be drastically. independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by preda tory plutocracy or predatory poverty. April 10, 1907. JOSEPH PULITZER.

- GEN. CASTRO AND GEO. W. PERKINS. Yesterday Gen. Castro was ruled out of the United States for moral turpitude and perjury, in that he “pretended to be ignorant of matters concern- ing which a man of his intelligence, and holding the position which he did, undoubtedly possesses knowledge.” On the same day Witness George W. Perkins, in answer to the Pujo Committee’s pertinent ques- tions concerning a business in which Perkins has been engaged all his life, made answers such as these: “T cannot say.” “I have been out of touch with these affairs for two years.” And, in answer to the question whether Mr. Perking considered the concentration of money and credit “a menace and peril to the country,’ he remarked that it reminded him of the conun- drum, “Why is a mouse when it spins?” — They are going to let Mr. Perkins remain in the country. ANDERSON PROMISES WELL. The new Excise Commissioner, Thomas Lil- bourne Anderson, promises to enforce the excise daws literally and impartially. If he proves as able at performing as he is at promising he will leave the community in debt to him and to the Governor that appointed him. = = = — a a i) A OAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY. The eighty-fifth birthday of John Habernicht, St. Louisan, one of twin brothers whose lives have been prolonged to a remarkable age, did not pass without appropriate observance. The family fete, which so interesting an anniversary made fitting, was, however, confined to the evening. Mr. Hab- ernicht was busily engaged during the day at his blacksmith shop on South Second street, though he found time to express regret at the inertia of generations younger than his own. “The best tonic is work,” he declared. May the tonic effects he derived from it long sustain him. He is a true type of the captain of in- dustry, one worth dozens of specimens of other types. After mature appraisal through the years of the relative values of life, he has hit as com- prehendingly as those of higher station on the

that comes to a man through service. Men of his life and example are to be magnified. Almost all the troubles of this time can be traced to the fact that the country has too few John Habernichts. AT THE SIGN OF THE STRIPED POLE. Dr. Simon offers himself as an expert coiffeur t> help St. Louis “do up her hair.” Certainly his discourse bas all of the pleasant flavor and loquaciousness of the first-class tonsorial artist. PASS THE FREEHOLDERS BILL. That trivial personalities in the Municipal As- sembly should be permitted to jeopardize a meas- ure as important as the one creating a Board of Freeholders to frame a new St. Louis charter is abeurd. The interchange of acrimonious re- marks in the House, resulting in ill feeling and the practical defeat of the charter plan, so far

with satisfaction by no Delegate. Fortunately the vote was reconsidered, and the measure has a favorable position on the calendar for consider- ation next week. If the vote for reconsideration, 15 ayes to 7 noes, was a test, the House is decidedly inclined to support the measure on its merits. St. Louis’ capacity for self-government within the limits accorded is abundantly demonstrated, but unin- be an unfortunate object lesson for Jefferson City. The desire for a simplified charter is widespread. The Board of Freeholders bill should not be de- layed by trivial obstruction. The majority sentiment tn the House should see that the measure receives businesslike, seemly treatment. Its immediate passage is a duty. = = rr e OUR LOBBYING POLICE. Louis Police Board is lobbying at Jef- ) City for an increase in the membership of St. Louis police captains and lieuten- lobbying for a reduction in their working hours. St. Louis policemen detailed to uty are lobbying for an increase of pay to $115 a month. Sergeants and patrol-

? lobbying for a $10 to $20 increase. In planning for this grotesque raid on the tax- advantage cannot be without an effect on the law- The police lobby better than they -know. home rule arguments. ‘If Bt. Louis were running its own police, the for legislation would not be confined of 70 days once in two years. There 7 sfticals who would as & matter of general in-| HOME-RULED POLICE. Home rule without home-ruled police would be an empty pretense. Power to control the police force and fix their pay must be transferred from measure is not to prove abortive. No other power is so vital to self-government. The police in a large sense are the Govern- ment. They are virtually the only government with which the citizen is in immediate, constant, daily contact. They are guardians of the peace, of the lives and property of citizens, and they are, with few exceptions, the sole power for the en- forcement of municipal laws. The arm of the law—the police force should be the city’s right arm, a part of the body they are designed to serve, controlled by the same munici- pal mind which moves the body. Without control of its right arm a city may be helpless in emer- gencies to preserve law and order. In all other respects save as to its police, ex- cise and election officials St. Louis already enjoys “home rule.” To extend this kind of “home rule” only to excise and election matters, however, stop- ping short of freeing the right arm of real self- governing power, would add little or nothing de- sirable to our present status. We might not be able to enforce our excise or election laws even though we controlled excise and election officers. Without police subject to municipal authority the city’s appointed commissioners might find them- selves powerless in the gravest crises. “St. Louis pays the freight.” Could anything be more unreasonable than the existing scheme under which the city is obliged to sue to Jefferson City for authority to command its own police. Could anything be more unjust than the Legislature’s regulation of the size and sala- ries of the St. Louis force which St. Louis pays out of its own treasury? It is precisely as if State troops were quartered on the city and the State ordered the city to pay them out of its own coffers as the State saw fit. St. Louis asks to have its right arm freed from’ the shackles of Jefferson City. ,% -

ip A ~~ - MAJOR’S SUBCONSCIOUS PLAGIARISM. An “Sowa Whisky Druggist” calls our atten- tion to the fact that some of the roseate and mellifluous language in Gov. Major’s inaugural address appears to have been lifted podily out of the late Col. Ingersoll’s eulogy to whisky, which, he says, appeared on thousands of bottles of rye and bourbon. THE LABEL ON THE GOV. MAJOR SAID: BOTTLE: “He (the pioneer “In it (whisky) you $ Missourian) saw golden will see the fields of) grain ripening in val- waving grain, and seem/leys more fertile than to hear the tones of(those of the Nile; he rich, mellow church § heard the tread of the bells, the laughter of) teeming millions that fair women, the prat-/ would. feed upon its tling of happy children,( bosom; he heard the the joys of the harvest)rich, mellow tones o% home as the golden sun) church bells, the laugh- sets slowly upon the(ter of fair women, and gilded mountain tops,”¢the prattle of happy etc. children. Our correspondent does not quote Ingersoll’s precise language, nor do we accuse Gov. Major of anything but subconscious plagiarism. Wheth- er, in early youth, he was privileged to hear the golden-mouthed Ingersoll utter his whisky eulogy; or whether, at some jolly banquet or other feast he absorbed the contents of the label on a bottle, aa given by our correspondent, reading it over and over, in self-defense while some be- fuddled after-dinner speaker bored him, we are not prepared to say. The fact of sub- conscious plagiarism is well established in modern psychology, and no-one is more aston- ished than its innocent author, when his atten- tion is called to what he has brought forth. = = * '-~ =

MAKING HISTORY IN ENGLAND. The debate in the House of Commons on the third reading of the Irish home rule bill, which is expected to close tonight with the passage of the measure by a large majority, has—as far as it has gone—done something to restore the old- time dignity of English parliamentary procedure. Both Mr. Asquith and Mr. Balfour, in the polite- ness and deference which each has shown to his opponent, in their dignity of tone and calm appeal to reason, no less than in their use of choice and scholarly English, have risen to the requirements of this historic occasion. It would be well for the best traditions of the House of Commons and the critical historica] sense of the Hnglish people if the passage of this great constitutional measure should be character- ized from start to finish by an equal sense of the importance and solemnity of the occasion. = = * rr ‘‘A DEN OF THIEVES.’’ At the annual dinner of the New York Chamber of Commerce Nov. 21, Elihu Root said: “There are hundreds of thousands of people out- side the great industrial communities who think you are a den of thieves; there are hundreds of thousands of people who think that the manufac- turers of the country are no better than a set of confidence men.” The man who uttered these words is not a dem- agogue; he is not a rascal; he is not an agitator. He is the ablest corporation lawyer in the United States, and so far as intellectual powers go he is probably the ablest man who has appeared in the public life of New York since Alexander Hamilton. Continuing, Senator Root told the members of the Chamber of Commerce that the men who un- derstand finance, the bankers and merchants, are “under suspicion.” Great bodies of people, he said, “will not accept what they say regarding the subject of finance; they will not accept what the experts say, because they do not beHeve their motives are honest.” Senator Root was not justifying these sus- ‘picions; he was describing the popular state of mind and pleading for a better understanding. He

tactful and | Jess heedful of the feelings of his audi- | ence. ' Is Wall street determined to prove that the popular. suspicion to which Senator Root referred is wholly warranted by the facts? Certainly there is nothing to show that Big Business learned anything from the recent presi- dential campaign. (It is still fighting desperately to retain all its opportunities for privilege and plunder. It has fought the Pujo investigation step by step. It is assailing Gov. Wilson as an enemy of prosperity. It is preparing a new campaign against the Democratic program of financial and economic progress. It is shaking the threat of panic before the American people. There are two courses open to Wall street’s emi- nent financiers and captains of industry—one of co-operation and one of resistance. If they accept Gov. Wilson’s invitation to co-operation, all im- portant national/ problems can be solved with no great difficulty and with no serious injury to any honest interest. But if Wail street is to unite on @ policy of resistance to every reform that touches its pocket, it must expect to be branded as ‘a den of thieves.” And it must expect to be dealt with as a den of thieves deserves to be dealt with. ere ~~

Woman’s Spirit of Sacrifice. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In this morning Republic I notice an account of an address by Dr. Lichliter before the Equal Suffrage League of Clayton. I think Dr. Lich- liter makes a mistake, when he considers such movements as the walk from New York to Al- bany unwomanly and harmful to the cause. The walk from New York to Albany was a great sacrifice, and women are preminently sacrificial in their nature. God made them so, or they could not stand what they have to endure during their lives, and it is that epirit of sacrifice which makes them so well fitted for government. Furthermore in England the women carried on ladylike and wemanly measures to procure suf- frage for nearly 60 years, and were not much nearer success than when they began, and after they adopted militant measures, the cause ad- vanced in this country at least, like nothing we could do in a ladylike way. I consider the Einglish suffragette a martyr to the cause of the world, for it is a world’s cause. In America it is not necessary to adopt militant tactics; our laws ere more favorable to gaining the cause, than they are in England. I thank Dr. Lichliter for his fine address in behalf of our cause. LOUISE L. WERTH. 3 A Nerve Wrecking Whistle. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Of all the nerve-racking, ear-plercing, brain- racking noises that whistle at the new building, Broadway and Olive is the limit. And the “gen- tleman” in charge seems to take a delight in tor- turing all within a radius of three blocks 6 mure by éxtra long blasts on every possible occasion. The occupants of the office buildings in the neighbor- hood are on the verge of nervous prostration. Is there any way in which this disturbance of the peace can be stopped? SPARTAN. (Complain directly to the foreman in charge. He possibly does not know that the noise is an- neying anyone.—Ed. P.-D.) Medical Monopoly. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with interest “Goslow’s” suggestion that the Legislature should sit up and take notice in ing physicians’ prescriptions. Isayitis time the public were “waking up.” Why have we only one class of legalized healers? Why not let every person follow the healing art if he so chooses? It is his God-given right. Why not have medical freedom and liberty as well as religious freedom or freedom of speech or press? Why do all boards of health consist of medical men only? Why not have one-half of the board consist of business and professional men? Why are all other prac- titioners not “‘regulars,” persecuted, hounded and frosecuted? Is it because they usually effect more cures than the “regulars” and consequently hurt the profession’s business and therefore must be put out of commission for they might get everybody well? The person ‘who claims he or she can cure any or one disease is a kKnave and a fool. Nature alone can and must do that, and proper physical end mental conditions are the only things which will assist nature—in short physical and mental hygiene—and never drugs and dope. Here is hoping that the day is near when every- body can choose his own healer according to his own good judgment and pleasure. This can only be done by abolishing the present medical mo- ropoly laws. THINKITOVER. for Assistant Treasurer. To the Editor ofgthe Post-Dispatch. I have noticed .in the public press the names of several gentlemen mentioned for the position of Assistant Treasurer United States, at the local Subtreasury. It is my understanding that the election of Woodrow Wilson was accomplished by the rank and file of the Progressive Democracy, and it would seem to me good policy, when pos- sible, to fill executive positions like that of the Assistant Treasurer with young, capable and ef- ficient Progressive Democrtts. I have in mind a gentleecan who has nad many years’ experience in the Assistant Treasurer's of- fice, has always been a Democrat, is of good character and integrity, and would, in my opinion fill that position acceptably to the people and the party. I refer to Mr. F. J. Maginn, at present book- keeper in the 8t. Loufs Subtreasury. T. L MACAULEY. IS PROGRESSIVISM PROGRESSING? From the Portland Oregonian. One may question seriously whether Colonel Roosevelt has not set back the progressive move- ment rather than helped {ft along. We think he has retarded it.. The Republican party had prior to last June retired nearly all the old guard, or was fairly in the process of retiring them. The movement within the party was progressive: the organisation in most of the states was in the hands of the Progressives. Let us admit that Taft's nomination was a mistake: Roosevelt's belt was a greater. For he thereby Givided the progressive forces of the country and insured a Democratic, victory. Can the man who split in two the progressive element within the Re- publican party be rightly said to have promoted the cause of progressiveness?

A New. Armageddon H From the Springfield Republican. A general celebration of the final emancipa- tion proclamation of Lincoln, fn its coming fif- ‘eth anniversary, will be hela throughout the North; why not at the South, too? It is now perfectly clear that emancipation was not only unavoidable but the only feasible course; if Lin- coln had not adopted it, the slaveholders them- selves would have been forced to it. And the conduct of the long-enslaved race, since that day, has reflected far more credit on them than the course of the white race, South or North, on their superior natures. — — Same Rate in Talking.

Quaetes A NEW REMEDY FOR PNEUMONIA. To the layman the discovery of a remedial jawbreaker is interesting be- cause it indicates the direction of medi- cal research for a specific in a disease which ranks second in our mortality lists. The application of the new agent in the human subject is being studied by wiry Amroth F. Wright, who is distinguished as a bacteriologist and, curiously enough, as an opponent of bathing. While the eccentric pedigree of ethylhydrocuprein- the micro-organism pneumococcus, which produces pneumonia, is extremely interesting to physicians because its as- certained action is the result of labora- tory experiments. Morgenroth contrived a combination of chemicals for the ex- press purpose of constructing a germi- cide that would destroy pneumococci. He first experimented with the latter by exposing them in a test tube to the ac- tion of his preparation in various di- lutions until he ascertained that the new agent was capable of neutralizing the pneumonia-producing micro-organism in so dilute a solution that it was harmless to mice. He injected it into these little animals in definite solution, dnd subse quently injected a quantity of pneu- mococc! which was invariably fatal to other mice, with the remarkable result that 90 per cent of the treated mice es- caped death from pneumonia. He then treated mice which he had infected and subsequently introduced the new remedy into them with the result of curing §& per cent of the diseased animals, The remarkable findings of the Wright laboratory experiments were published in the London Lancet of last month. Their application to the prevention and cure of pneumonia in the human subject will be tested in the hospitals, and given to the profession when they are fully reliable.

GIVE GOVERNOR POWER TO RE- MOVE. Brom Today’s Republic. In view of the political situation created in St. Louis by years of ma- chine control buttressed by bad election laws, The Republic is squarely against any home-rule law which does not con- tain a provision reserving to the Gov- ernor the power of removing Police and Excise Commissioners. _ We are not afraid of the sentiment cf a majority of the citizens, of St. Louis. We are afraid of the things which might come to pass at the behest of the boss of a machine-centrolied minority. Frankly, we do not anticipate that the Governor’s power to remove would ever have to be invoked. But the very fact vf its existence would be potent in restraining a kind of Mayor of which St. Louis has had one flagrant example from making the kind of appointments he would make if he could.

PENCE had telegraphed me to meet him at the club Ir. Wash- ington, and there I saw him in the Jibrary devouring the pages of a acientific book that treated of the subject of sound. He greeted me in his usual calm manner, and came right to the point. “The chief,’ he said, ‘“‘told me that ‘Big’ Beeson of the Secret Service found a crazy man on the outskirts of Balti- more, and that apparently insignificant | event promises to develop into a national catastrophe.” “Well,” I cried, ‘‘what has that to do with my finding you reading that musty volume on sound?’ “Listen,”’ he replied, ‘“‘Big Beeson was riding in his auto, when he sav: beside the road a strange figure—ragged and tattered—that proved to be a young man who was alternately mumbling and - shrieking. "This is a sample of the things Beeson heard: ‘For Heaven's sake, make some noise—this silence is killing me. Help!’ “Beeson is a big-hearted fellow, and took the youth home with him, intend- ing to place the poor chap in an jasy- lum; but he gave him a meal and a room in the cottage. The strange [part of it all was that the’ youth seemed to take the greatest delight in noise. Even on the way to Beeson'’s house, the pounding of the motor—Beeson’s car is a@ cheap and noisy affair—was positive music to the ears of the youth, and where the stretch of road was quiet, he would cry for ‘noise.’ “When Beeson locked-him in that room he banged on the door, but when it was opened showed no desire to leave. : “Beeson decided that it was a case of shattered nerves, and gave him a dose of bromid; that seemed to do the work, for some hours later the ‘patient’ had @ few lucid moments, and in response to gentle questioning, told the follow- ing: “One day,’ he said, ‘I was sitting on @ bench in Madigven Square—down and t—no work, n Yrade, no money—in \ weak from the want of food. The : who was sitting beside me asked \. if I wanted a job. I did not answer wm, but he handed me a dollar bill, and told me to get a shave and a meal. **“T think I can give you something to do, if you don’t mind going to the country,” he said kindly. It was a god- send, and I returned to him with a heart full of hope. “He took me to Baltimore, where he went to a garage and got an auto. We rode for miles and arrived at a sort at big country estate that had a large -house set far in a grove of trees. We * mtered it, but there wasn’t a soul to ar be seen. Deadest place I ever saw! + by ‘ “ "Well, he told me I was to do the little housework necessary for us two— said he couldn’t stand women round him, and that that was why he brought me there. He told me I was never to enter his ‘“‘workroom,” a long apart ment walled and roofed with concrete. “The next day I discovered that I Was a prisoner. “Every door and window was locked and bolted. ** "Oh, that’s only a whim of mine,”’ he said, as he handed me $50—a month’s Wages in advance! Well, I started to argue with him, when I suddenly felt @n electric shock. The current flowed through my body, I was powerless to move, but shouted for help. There was none to hear me. “*From that moment my nerves began to go. The slightest thing I did that ‘was against his wishes brought me a dose of that electricity. “ ‘He said to me one day: “It is nec- * eneary for the purposes of my experit- ‘ment that I get you into a condition of absolute sensitiveness so that your sense of hearing will be most acute. At the end of my experiment, however, I will give you $500 as a bonus, and you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you have aided in the greatest scientific achievement of modern times.” . “ ‘His dark, sunken eyes blazed fever- iahly, and I realized that he was mad— erazy as he was making m@q! I lived in ‘terror those days—in abject fear of his “@lectricity. Once I thought I saw my chance, and sprang at him, but I fell to the floor shocked. “**Don't try that again,” he said: ‘‘it ‘won't Go any good.” “ "One day he led me into his work- shop. In the corner of the room was a great brass gong, which he ordered me to strike. I obeyed, and the sound re- _verberated through the lengthy .-oom. Then he walked to a table in the center -on which was a large, round, Fiack box. “ "He turned a sort of electric switch, then ordered me to strike the gong again. I did so, but not a sound was heard! It seemed that I cried out in ‘surprise, but did not even hear the sound of my own voice! I walked to- ward him inquiringly, but could not hear my own footsteps! “*"“My Lord!” I cried. “I'm deaf— you've made me deaf!" He smiled reas- ‘Suringly, then turned off that switch catastrophe?” “Wait,’’ continued Spence, “‘the sound- destroyer has already started active op- erations—and he is a madman. You can |

Imagine the rest.” “But,” I replied, ‘“‘what operations can he possibly’’— “That accident at the railroad cross- ing near Baltimore, for instance. At the investigation it was proven that the engineer blew the whistle of his loco- motive as per rule. The passengers. heard it distinctly—four blasts—yet the switchman at the crossing, the driver of the express wagon, the chauffeur of the first auto, and others have sworn that they heard no sound—and—the second auto did not even attempt to cross the tracks, but after the accident turned about and disappeared! That accident alone cost seven lives.” “The excitement may have’’— “Wait,’’ ‘nterrupted Spence. “Fifteen people, t. ywntire number of occupants of a cert: restaurant at the time, sprang up smnultaneously, crying out they were deaf. “In a few minutes, however, they all recovered their normal hearing powers. I have since learned tiat an auto was standing in front of the restaurant at the time, but left hastily. I could give you more instances, many with tragic endings, but another—one of greater con- sequence to the nation—has just oc- curred.”’ Spence, habitually cool mopped his brow! “The President of the United States was riding in his auto along X—— street,’’ he said. “With him at the time were his private secretary and Big and calm, By Arthur Benington. NTERMINABLE files of little, bright red workmen are dashing j impetuously through narrow lanes Among them are a few slow coaches, white, formless, like cumulus Clouds on a summer day. These roll along clumsily, awkwardly, while those race merrily to work, like endless rows of red chips streaming down a chute. Into the rusMing mass a gang of maur- euders intrudes. Nasty looking fellows Veritable devils, with wriggling tails. they push fiercely into the procession of little workmen and rudely seize upon cne of them. Then a white cloud Wakes up, rolls lazily over to the scene of the assault, calmly pushes forth an arm or two, grasps the intruders by their throats and—eats them up. The lanes through Which the workers rush grow narrower ang narrower, their Walls become thinner and thinner until they are transparent, and there is bare- ly room for the: red workers to pass Their progress slows down; they pause here and there, singly or in groups, delivering and collecting, always busy, but still they make their way onward. As they go their red hue fades, grad- vally becoming violet and then blue, un- til the lanes grow wider and they hurry

Beeson and Clark of the ‘Service.’’ Sud- cenly the President clapped his hand. to his ears, and so did the others. “The capital had suddenly become to them a place of silence, though the ac- tivity of the city continued all about. None of the four could hear a sound! Big Beeson told me of it—the first time in 20 years I ever saw him pale. “Fortunately he had had sense enough not to tell anything we know of the matter. He looked round at the time. The streets were crowded, and numer- ous autos and other vehicles were at the crossing where it happened. We have since visited every garage in Bal- timore—have scoured the surrounding country in search of that mysterious house, and all without result. It is nec- essary for us to find it. “In his insane fear, that poor, crazy youth refuses to give us a single clew as to the locality. Now we must résort to extreme measures, and cruelty must be the keynote. We must take him in an auto and again scour that section. He refuses to tell us where the place is, so I believe the only way will be to judge of the direction by the amount of fear he displays—the old game of ‘hot or cold’—and this time the prize will be the peace of a nation!’’ I sprang from the chair in surprise, but Spence continued: “Of course, I have a clew—that is to say, judged from the scientific stand- point, but I haven't worked it out in detail as yet, for first I must find the house of the demon sound-destroyer. Come, let us get busy.’’ I rose and followed Spence and heard him say: ‘“‘The physical cause of the sen- sation of sound are waves of alternate condensation and rarefaction, passing through an elastic body. A _ vibration that does not affect the ear causes no sound.” He repeated it as if to convince him- self. Of course, the press took the matter up, for numerous accidents occurred in both Baltimore and Washington, each of which was attributed to the fact that the victims were suddenly stricken deaf. The ‘Service’ worked 6n the case, and tried Spence’s method of necessary cruelty. It succeeded beyond our fond- est hopes, though I recollect with no little regret the terror of the demented youth when we struck the road leading to the house of his former employer, for eventually we located it. Unmindful of the danger and assured that, although we might be stricken deaf on a moment, it would probably be for but a brief period, we approached the main entrance, battered down the door, and, with pistola drawn, entered the “workroom.” There we came within range of the sound-destroyer’s influence—but we found him lying dead beside the switch. The full force of his mysterious current, however, was turned on. We could not hear a sound, and retreated in haste. With the knowledge, however, that the sound-destroying demon was dead, we all breathed easier. The following day. acting under orders

Through. strange factories the rushing river flows, leaving a deposit of iron here, collecting a heap of dead _ cells there, picking up a subtle drug at one Place and dropping it at another, dis- solving salts and depositing them, the red workmen not idle for an instant, thé white sentries loafing lazily along, but ever on the alert for trespassers and always euger for fight. T last the turbid stream =~povurs through a great canal into a throb- bing, pulsating chamber, whence it is driven into another, larger and still more powerful. With one mighty throb this chamber pumps it forth into a vast network of tiny cells with walls so thin that the slightest shock will tear them. It is as if a window had been opened, for there is a rhythmic current of fresh air, laden with pure oxygen, all ubout the cells. The tired little work- ers drink it in and their sad blue color instantly changes to a rosy red. They behave like parched flowers when a sudden thunderstorm showers them with refreshing rain. All revived now, they dash off again, eager for another round of work. No eight-hour law for them; they labor %# hours a day, 365 days a year; they ask no rest, they need no refreshment more than that regular draft of air after each round. This is a picture of what is always taking place in the arteries and veins of our bodies and of what we might see were our eyes as powerful as micro- scopes and our sight as penetrating as the X-rays—that is, we should see it when our bodies are in good health. Far different the picture when disease has taken hold. HE little red workers are the red corpuscles of the blood, the big white sentries are the white corpuscles. The narrow lanes through which they make their way are the capillaries that epread like a fine network throughout the body. It is in passing through them that the blood performs its four-fold duty: 1. Carrying food to every cell in the body. 2 picking up and bearing away all waste products. 3. Conveying chemicals that are made in one organ to some other organ that needs them for nutrition or excitation, and 4. Pre- serving the body immune to the attacks ‘o? disease germs. The factories through which the blood passes, picking up here and depositing there, are the liver, spleen, kidneys. and many other glands and organs. In each of these is a chemical laboratory in which processes and reactions more delicate by far than any the human chemist performs are going on auto- matically, incessantly. The network of cells in which the workers arrive, exhausted and blue to drink in the revivifying air, are the lungs. There they deposit their load of carbonic acid which they have collected in their long journey through the body, and there they receive in return a copi- ous supply of oxygen, which they carry with them and deposit wherever it may be needed. Now for another picture. The stream that surges through the narrow lanes is pale. The little red workmen are few in number and their shape and size are different from those we have seen be- fore. They are larger; some of them

Many of them fall and die wher™ passing through the great fac- tories in which the labor is done. They are perishing from overwork and unac- customed tasks. STRIKE is on. Not all of the workers have thrown down their tools and gone out, but those that are left are few, and some strike breakers unfamiliar with the job have been im- pressed into the service. The work is done badly. Loads of debris that should be picked up is left by the wayside, for the laborers are not strong enough to carry it away. Matter that should be transported from one point to another is iost in transit or delivered at the wrong place. Factories that need supplies don’t get them and have to slow down or come to a standstill. From every part of the body com- plaints, cries for more inaterial, more laborers, more skilled workers, are tele- graphed.

In every cubic inch of healthy blood there are from 75,000,000 to 80,000,000 red corpuscles, each about three ten-thous- andths of an inch in diameter, shaped ike poker chips, bevelled at the edge and slightly concave in the middle. The inost important substance in them is raemoglobin, for this is what absorbs oxygen in the lungs, carries it to all parts of the body and gives it up to the cells that need it. And the only way the cells can get oxygen is’ by having it brought to them by the haemoglobin in the red corpuscles of the blood. Chemists know exactly what haemoglo- bin is’ made of, but not the most skil- ful of them could make it; it is com- posed of 712 parts of carbon, 1130 parts of hydrogen, 214 parts of nitrogen, 2 parts of sulphur and 24 parts of oxide of iron. When oxidized—that is, just efter passing out of the lungs—it is supersaturated with oxygen. : _ red corpuscles are born in the marrow of the bones and die in the liver when they have outworn their usefulness. The liver carefully collects their iron and disposes of the rest of them in the bile. In the marrow, in some way that we have not yet been able to find out, certain products of the digested food are selected and combined to form cells called erythroblasts. These, like most cells, have nuclei, but as they HAT are the duties of our Goverament’s three depart- ments?

Anemic giris are dosed with iron because in the form of anemia that is peculiar to them (chlorosis) the blood is impoverished by imperfect formation of red corpucies in the marrow. In pernicious anemia there is a weak- ness of the bone marrow—inherited in most cases—the real cause for which is utterly unknown. It results in fewer red corpuscles being turned out, unde- veloped nucleated cells being sent into the blood instead of the normal ones. These are unsuited to the work to be done and easily break down in the liver, spleen and kidneys. Besides these corpuscles in the blood are some minute but very important bodies called platelets, to the number of about 800,000 per cubic centimeter, Their special province is to stop up gaps. They have the peculiar faculty of sticking ticht to any substance other than the inner coating of the veins and arteries; consequently when tke flesh is torn or pcut they flock to the damaged part, urged thereto by the white corpuscles, and swiftly plug up the hole. In this they are aided by the fluid called plas- ma, which contains a substance that fo.ms fibers—whence it is called fibrino- gen—in which the platelets amd corpus- cles are enmeshed. This quickly dries, forming the familiar blood clot—na- ture’s own protection against the nox- fous microbes that rush to the wound to infect it.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. - WILSON TO SEE GOETHALS Likely to Name Colonel! Canal! Zone Governor-General. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 16—There is good reason to believe that President- elect Wilson may appoint Col. George W. Goetbals Governor-General of the Panama Canal Zone, and that if he does the Senate will confirm the appointment. Gov. Wilson annonuced that Col. Goe- thals will call on him. All he would say regarding the visit wea that he wished to find out all he could about the canal work. He added regretfully that he feared he would not be able to confer with Col. Goethals long enough to learn as much as he would like to know. 2 INDICTED FOR MURDER Brothers Accused of Attacking and Slaying Girl.

An infantile paralysis placard on the Girl’s Industiral Home, 5501 Von Ver- sen avenue, caused alarm among the mothers of children attending the Wil- liam Clark school, until physicians dis- covered that the two supposed paraly- sis cases were only combination of grip and rheumatism. The placard was placed on the outside of the school building by men from the Board of Health last Monday, althquah the principal, Miss A. Hitch, told the men the diagnosis had been a mistaken one. At that time 64 little girls from the home, who attend the Clark school, had gone there for the morning. A neighbor, who has children in the Clark School, was so alarmed on seeing the placard that she telephoned to Principal Brown and to a number of her neigh- bors. Principal Brown then made in- quiries, and learned that a mistake had been made by the board's agents. The two children, who became ill the | Friday and Saturday before, were takon to the Children’s Hospital on the first diagnosis, but were taken back to the home Thursday. The placard has been removed by the Board of Health and the 64 little girls have remained in school. ‘BIG TIM’ SULLIVAN HAS_~ . POISON HALLUCINATIONS Fears Imaginary Dictographs, but Doctors Deny He Has Religious Mania. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 16.—By direction of Gov. Sulzer, the State Hospital Com- mission permitted an inspection of the certificate under which Representative Timothy PD. Sullivan of New York was committed to an institution for the in- sane. The certificate contained little of @ personal er confidential nature, but it did correct some false impressions as to the character ef “Big Tim" Sullivan's mental treuble. There was nothing to show that he was suffering from a re- ligious mania. Sullivan was examined as to his san- ity by Drs. John E. Herrity and W. B. Pritchard of New York. During the ex- amination they said he insisted on the conversation being carried on in whisp- ers. He seemed to be subject to fore- bodings of evil, declaring in a whisper that the room was full of telephones and dictographs., He feared he was being “doped” by his enemies and that poison was being put in his food and drink and was being forced into the atmosphere of the room.

Mrs. Chused shouted for the police and the men left. A few minutes later the men knocked laudly on the front door of the Chused home and again demanded the return of their money.

4 STAND PAT, SAYS |B GOV, WILSON: WALL Ne STREET NO WORRY Gives No Consideration to Re- ports of Dissatisfaction There With His Remarks. oe “DON’T BE A SILLY ASS”

President-Elect Gives Out Tele- gram Received, Names Com- pany Transmitting It. Special to the Post- Dispatch. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 16.—President- elect Wilson said today with reference to his recent speeches: “T stand pat,’ adding later, “I have given no consideration to the reports of Wall street dissatisfaction with my remarks.” There was a good deal of panic talk about the statehouse that might be characterized as ‘‘amused comment.”’ Senator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky and Senator Thomas P. Gore of Okla- homa don’t think there is going to be any panic. But if there is, James thinks he knows what will happen. Directly after he had conferred with the Gov- ernor, though he made it plain that he was not divulging what had been dis- cussed, he announced flatly that in the case of panic the Democrats in Con- gress would appoint an investigating committee which would learn who was responsible and deal with that individ- ual. Ever since the Governor made his speech in Chicago, letters and telegrams bave been pouring in upon him. A great number of these have contained denun- ciations, while scores have counseled less outspoken utterances. There were po less than 3000 letters awaiting Gov. Wilson on his return from Chicago. Telegram From New York. John W. Williams of New York City is not personally known to Gov. Wil- son, so far as the Governor can recall. Nevertheless, Williams took it upon him- self to send to the Governor the follow- ing telegram: “Don’t be such a fool. Use your brains and keep your mouth shut. Don’t be a silly ass and make the whole coun- try ashamed of you.” Gov. Wilson himself made this tele- gram public, and in doing so said: “I want this made public because I want the country to know that I get that sort of criticism from New York, and I want the country to know that the tele- gram was transmitted by the Postal Telegraph Co.”’ The President-elect had three callers of national importance. They were Sen- ator-elect James, Senator Gore and Sen- ator Stone of Missouri. Senator Stone, who is known for the information he does not disclose, was with the Gov- ernor about 15 minutes. The others talked with him about ninety minutes. Makes Four Things Clear. The Governor in his talk ovith the newspaper men made these tnings*clear: L He has not seriously considered any appointments except those to Cabinet positions. 2 He is confident that a satisfactory plan for the reorganization of the Sen- ate will be worked out in Washington. 8. He will not even intimate what the date for the extra session will be urtil he goes to Washington. 4. He will not intimate what he wil! Suggest that the session consider until his message is read in Congress. Wilson’s Position. The statement was given out by Jo- seph Tumulty, secretary to Gov. Wil- son, in response to rumors which ema- nated from Wall street, and caused fe- “Attempts are being made to make an issue of Gov. Wilson's speech at Chi- cago. This is nothing less than amus- ing. Goy. Wilson's attitude on business and its relations to the Government as expressed in his several speeches since the election is, as any well-informed person in the country would testify, ex- actly the same as his attitude before his nomination and before his election. ‘“‘Every word that Gov. Wilson has ut- tered is in complete harmony with the principle to which he has strictly ad- hered throughout his public career. If |} there is any surprise at this attitude it can be manifested only by those who fail to realize that the country has elected to the presidency an honest and fearless man, who means exactly what he says.”’

Hernry Clews Says There Ise No Justi- fication for Wall Street Scare. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—A_ reassuring speech was made by Henry Clews to his customers, in which he told them there was no justification for the scare which Wall street has had over Gov. Wilson's recent utterances regarding the coun- try’s business men. He said a friend of the President-elect. who recently talked with him in Trenton quoted the Governor as follows: ‘Adverse criticism is emanting from editorial rooms all over the country, the basis of which is that I have little or no conception of business, or the business needs of the country. This may or may not be true, but the people Gan rest as» sured that I will take no steps affecting business interests until I have a thor- ough understanding of all conditions, and my conclusions will only be reached after consulting with the leading spirits in finance, manufacture and in com- merce, “When I am !naugurated my door wil! be open to all business men, and it is my hope and wish that they will come and consult with me.” LA SALLE FRIDAY BARGAIN, 40c grade nut patties, 20 Ib.

|TOO.L LATE TO CLASSIFY STOCKS SCORE ADVANCES IN A QUIET MARKET Leading Shares Average About One Point Higher; Foreign Prices Are. Steady. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau ef the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The Evening } Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “After a couple of hourg in which yesterday's recovery of prices con- tinued on the Stock Exchange, the market came absolutely to a halt. This was followed by a slow down- ward reaction in the later afternoon, which brought poes for a good own Bos: aioene back to yesterday’s clos- ev in SNothing in the news of the day served to influence ~ sentiment in either direction on the foreign stock exchanges, Prices seemed to move as much as they did here—going up for a time, then dropping back again. Even in the London market orders were first on the buying side, then distinctly on the side of selling. “The market closed inactive, with an irregular recovery from the lower en prices, shortly before the ast The Bank Reports. “Today's weekly reports of the Banks of England and France were of decided interest; they illustrated one of the strong points and the other the weak point of the European financial situation. “The Bank of England reports a ain of $9,000,000 wold; since the open- ng of the month it has gained Pro. - 500, 000, which is $5,000,000 more than the sum added in the similar period last year. During the same two weeks the bank’s ratio of reserve to lability has risen from 30% per cent to 49%; —the latter figure having been ex- ceeded at this precise time of year Only three times since 1896. “If these comparisons at the Bank of England show how rapidly reserve money ig cowing back into banking centers whére inafneial conditions are normal, the French bank’s weekly report shows the kind of trouble caused by the suddenly developed money hoarding propensities of the continental public. “The Bank of France has lost $1,- 500,000 gold and $1,800,000 silver this past week, whereas both metals ought at this time to be moving freely into its reserves. “Its he reserve is now at the smallest figure reached in the mid- dle of January of any year since 1904. whereas its outstanding note circu- lation is $75,000,000 above this week of 1912, and $88, 000, 000 over 1911. Evi- dently the hoarded gold and silver is not returning to the channels of cir- culation, “It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, is produced on the tee of the French public when the $6,000 gold, now on the water in the ros tg ers eastbound from New York, is de- livered to the Paris market. New Securities Issued. ‘Several new security issues were an- nounced, and while the total of the loans are not large, it was evident that the banks would have plenty of chances t>» employ their money profitably through advances to syndicates and others interested in the operations. ‘“‘No more gold was taken for Paris, but developments indicated that fur- ther shipments would be in the near future. The foreign exchange market ruled most of the day around yester- day’s level and while no gold was taken for Buenos Ayres, it looked as if the London banks would try to get their Wall street correspondents to send con- signments to that quarter in the near future. “The banks here made a good show- ing again on the currency movement through the subtreasury, and it was apparent that the inflow for the whole week Would be considerably in excess of a wéek ago. “An interesting development was the broader demand for high-grade paper, the absorption by banks in various sections being sufficient to afforg a ready market for all that was offered even at concessions from the 5 per cent rate nich governed most of the offerin “The brokers ma . large sales of paper and in some cases found it dif- ficult to secure a sufficient supply.” ——__@--- -+ New York Stock Gowulese Reported daily for "hor 8 Post- Dispatch by G.

She selected acquitted murderers and prom- inent divorcees and patent medicine manufacturers as “guests of honor” or “hosts” for these dinners. Paying guests, notified from a “sucker list” by post cards, paid a dollar for the food served at these dreadful affairs, and Adelina Hopton-Hoke split the gullty proceeds, fifty-fifty, with the res. taurant proprietor. By these means she was enabled to support herself in a studio and also pay alimony to her third husband. The smell of burning Joss sticks made Mrs. Jarr sick.

for Kidneys and Bladder A simple and easy way to cure weak, deranged kidneys or biadder is to use the following farmula: Get six ounces good pure gin and add to it one-half ounce Murax Compound and one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu. Take one to two teaspoonfuls of this mixture after each’ meal and at bed time. Nearly all good druggists have these ingredients. Anyone can mix. One should be sure to get good pure gin, also the genuine Mu- rax Compound, which comes only in & sealed wooden package, as any substi- tute will not give the desired results. Weak kidneys or bladder should be given attention as soon as any of .the well-known symptoms are noticed. Neg- lect in the matter is dangerous, as the serious forms, Bright's disease, chronic rheumatism or dread diabetes, may de- velop. These can be avoided if the above simple mixture is used before com- plications set in.—ADYV. pean enneeeyrarneenee J
