TWICE BY ROBBER Masked Man Fires Five Times on Senator Brogan Introduces Joint Resolution Demanding of St. Louis Mayor and Assem- bly Reasons for Un-xplained Delay.

Mrs. Fred V When : She Awakens and JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 29.—Senator Brogan introduced today a joint and concurrent resolution calling upon the Mayor and Municipal Assembly of 8+. Louis to explain why the free bridge has not been completed. The resolution sets forth that authori- ty to construct the bridge was given to St. Louis by the Legislature in 1907. It was referred to the Committee on Roads and Highways. HIT IN JAW AND ARM Mrs. Clara Venneman, 45 years old, wife of Fred Venneman, a lands¢tape gardener of Dickson street and Venne- man avenue, Kirkwood, was shot twice 4° ly wounded, at 3:30 a. m. , by a burglar, whose opera- bedroom awakened her and mand of silence. she ignored. struck her in the lower jaw, If any last straw was needed to put the city hall administration out of hu- mor, it was furnished in the Brogan resolution. But it seemed to be accept- ed by the Mayor and legislators in a mood of quizzical resignation. Mayor Kreismann, when.told by a Post-Dispatch reporter of the Brogan resolution, seemed much amused. From Unterrified Electorate. “I think,”. he said, “‘that the gentle- man, in introducing such a resolution, must have been acting in a spirit of levity and humor. It hardly seems pos sible to me that Senator Brogan, who comes from the unterrified electorate of St. Louis, would not be familiar with the reasons why the bridge is not com- pleted. It is possible the members of the Municipal Assembly may be able to enlighten the Legislature on this matter in more detail than the Mayor.”’ Telegate George Elgel said: ““We've done all we could do in the Assembly. Brogan ought to ask his question of the individual voters, who are the ones wh-~ have kept the bridge from being fn- ished.”’ ene Taussig wore an ‘“‘I should Wednet _— in hei lodged. in her right arm near the shoul- @er.

McCarthy § said: “There is no explanation for the delay except that the people have refused to vote for the bonds to complete the free bridge. ‘the proposition has been sub- mitted to the people and they have turned it down.”’ And There Were Others. Here is what some ‘other Assembly- men had to say about it: Councilman L. E. Lehmberg: If the people had voted the bonds the bridge would have been completed. The fault is not with the administration. nor the Municipal Assembly. In the bond is- sue of $3,500,000 the city has received 100 cents’ worth for every $1 expended. Councilman Julius Haller: The people belleve the Reber approach is bottled, and have lost confidence in the execu- tive officials of the city, therefore would not vote for the bonds to com- plete the bridge. Councilman Faul R. Fletcher: The rea- sons for the delay are,-an improperly located eastern approach, lack of :on- fidence in the administration by the people, and the failure to pass the bond issue to provide necessary funds. John J. Lahiv, member of the House of Delegates: The people must be held responsible for the delay. They lost confidence in the administration and re- fused to vote for the bond issue. The confidence wil! not be restored and the bond issue cannot be successftl until a change is made.

Bailey explained on the witness stand Wednesday in Judge Jones’ court her reasons for leaving he- husband six times in the 10 months they lived together after their marriage in 1910. She was sued for a divorce by Lawrence F. Bailey. a lawyer, and the case was begun Tuesday. Mrs. Bailey testified that their fre- quent separations were due to her hus- band’s “nightmare,” and his miscon- duct and mistreatment of her. She declared that she frequently was awakened in the night by her ‘:usband choking her. Her nusband would ex- plain that his action was due to “night- mare,” she testified. She declared that soon after their marriage he choked her one night and told her that he had been afflicted with the nightmare since his boyhood. She said he had not told her of the silment before their marriage. .

PRIMARY BILL IS REPORTED: 10 BE PASSED SATURDAY Substitute for McGrath, Jamison and Erman Measures Received Favorable Action. OPPOSITION IS HEARD Dr. W. W. Boyd and Cornelius Fauntleroy Speak Against Its Enactment. By J. J. McAULIFFE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, JEF. FERSON CITY, Jan. 29.—The House Committee on Elections reported favor- aovly the substitute for the McGrath, Jamison and Erman bills providing for a new primary law for 8t. Louis. On motion of McCarty of Pemiscot the bill was given precedence in print- ing. The penalty clause in the bill designates violation as a felony punish- able by a term of from two to five years in the penitentiary. It is prob- able the bill will be Sent to engross- ment Thursday, with prospects of final passage in the House by Saturday. The Senate Committee on Elections called a special meeting today to hear Cornelius Fauntleroy and the Rev. W. W. Boyd of St. Louis, who urged the adoption of the Jamison bill. They agreed to strike out the objectionable features of the Jamison measure, but the committee announced that it had prepared a substitute along the lines of the State primary law. Dr. Boyd Opposes Bill. Boyd declared that the law the committee proposed would not be ef- fective in preventing fraud. “Why,” he said, “it provides for only two voting precincts in each ward.”’ ‘“‘Have you read the bill?” asked Sen- ator Kinney. “Thoroughly,” replied Dr. Boyd, “Then you ought to know,” retorted Kinney, ‘that it conforms to the State primary law and provides for as many polling booths as there are voting pre- cincts in St. Louis.”’ Dr. Boyd accepted the correction. He gaid he represented the People’s League, with a membership of 60,000. “They are all voters, too, and if this bill goes through every man of them will vote*against the Democratic Uatees Dr. ‘in the spring,”’ he said. Members of the conimiftee vho had been informed, they said, the People’s League had a membership of about twenty, smiled broadly at Dr. Boyd's figures. Dr. Boyd argued for a law which would do away with the bosses. Must Name Money Spent. “Is the Democratic party down there con‘rolled by a boss?’’ asked Lysaght vo: St. Joseph. ‘Tt is,”’ replied Dr. Boyd. “How about the Republicans?’ “They have a boss, too.’’ “And the Socialists and the Progres- sives?’’ “Yes, sir.” ‘And the People’s League?” Dr. Boyd did not answer. The Senate substitute was presented with minor changes at the afternoon session. A provision was inserted re- quiring all candidates for office to stipu- late every person authorized to spend money in his behalf.

ROADS ANNOUNCE GENT RAISE IN LOGAL GOAL RATE Traffic Bureau Files Schedule With Interstate Commission to Be Effective April 1. Qe oa: & L. FO. OPPOSE

IT Charge From Illinois Fields to St. Louis Placed at 57% Cents —Arbitrary Is Retained.

A new Coal tariff, effective April 1, increasing the freight rates 5 cents a ton from the Illinois coal fields to St. Louls and East St. Louis, has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion by William Cameron, secretary of the Coal Traffic Bureau, a central or- ganization representing all the coal car- rying lines, The new rate to St. Louis will be 57% cents a ton, and to East St. Louis, Mad- ison, Venice and Granite City 37% cents a ton. The old rate was 52% cents to St. Louis and 32% cents to East St. Louis and other East Side points. P. W. Coyle, commissioner of the Traffic Bureau of the Business Men's League, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he would file a protest against the increased rates with the interstate Commerce Commission. Will Make Thorough Protest. “The railroads will have to justity the increased rates before the comr ission will permit them to go into effect,” said Coyle. ‘‘We shall appear before the commission and make our fight against the increase. As the increase will not go into effect until April 1, we will have ample time to get our facts together ang present them to the com- mission.’’ Secretary Cameron of the Coal Traffic Bureau said that he did not know why the coal rates were ordered increased. ‘In putting out the new tariff I merely acted on the instructions of the coal carrying lines which this organization represents,’’ he said. The increase in the rates was filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion without the coal men of St. Louis knowing anything about the contem- plated increase, according to James Kuhn of the firm of Devoy & Kuhn. Kuhn said that he had not heard about the increase until a Post-Dispatch re- ported called him by _ telephone. The new’ coal rate’ maintalngy the ar- bitrary of 20 cents a ton on St. Louis deliveries. In making the new tariff Cameron adhered to the rule of the rail- roads to charge the arbitrary, making the rates for St. Louis 2 cents a ton higher than the rates for East St. Louis and Madison, Granite City and Venice. The proposed increase in rates likely will bring forth a vigorous protest on the part of the coal dealers of St. Louis. The dealers have contended that the rates were high enough, and that no in- crease was justifiable. Bureau Under Charges. Every coal-carrying railroad on the east side, including some that are not members of the Terminal Railroad As- sociation, is a member of tne Coa Traffic Bureau and adheres -¢igidly to the tariffs it promulgates. The Government, in its suit to dissolve the Terminal Railroad Association, charged that the Coal Traffic Bureau was an illegal combination, engaged in the business of making freight rates. The representatives of the -aliroads have regular meetings in the offices of the Coal Traffic Bureau and agree upon rates. The Government charged that this was unlawful.

IST. LOUIS ACTRESS WHO WEDS ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF DIVORCE

MRS LEONARD KENT. JANE CARLETON, ST LOUIS ACTRESS WEDS SALES AGENT Miss Ella May Chamberlain, Off of Stage, Develops Boarding ~ House Romance.

_ NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—Miss Ella May Chamberlain, an actress known to the stage as Jane Carleton, who divorced her first husband, Edgar Jay, in S8St. Louis, a year ago today, was married Monday to Leonard Kentof New York. The marriage was a surprise to the mother of Kent, who is 28 years old and a well-to-do sales agent. The bride- groom’s mother said Miss Chamberlain gave only about two days’ notice to her own parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Cham- berlain, 5639 Vernon avenue, St. Louis. When they obtained the marriage l- cense, Miss Chamberlain gave her oc- cupation as actress. The ceremony was performed in Hope Baptist Church. After the ceremony there was a wed- ding breakfast and reception to imme- diate friends at the home of the bride- groom's aunt, Mrs. L. F. Braine, in the Apthorpe Apartments, Seventy-ninth street and Broadway. A Boarding House Romance. Kent and Miss Chamberlain met where they were both boarding, at 202 Riverside drive, and the romance de- veloped rapidly. Kent’s mother says she met the bride two days before the ceremony, found her a charming young woman and approved of the marriage. First Marital Experience Was Brief and Unhappy. The first marital experience of Mrs. Kent was a brief and unhappy one. In Kansas City she met a young man who said he was Jules Lee, wealthy, and the son of a mining engineer. The marriage was in November, 1911. Jan. 9, 1912, Lee was arrested at the American Hotel here because of a bad check. It was discovered that his right name was Edgar Jay and that he had also gone under the name of Gould Jay. A letter from another woman found in his effects led to the discovery that he had married another woman in March, 1912, and was not divorced from her. It was discovered also that Jay was under parole from the State penitentiary for forgery. His actress- wife obtained a divorce and restora- tion of her maiden name here Jan. 29, 1912.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALER URGED FOR SICK HYDE JUROR Father to Provide Absent Treat- ment if Judge Refuses to Al- low Personal Attention. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 2.—Upon the report of Dr. E. W. Shauffler, the physicjan appointed by the Court to ex- amine Juror Carl D. Higgins, who be- came ill at yesterday’s session of the third trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, for the murder of Col. Swope, stating that his patient was unable to appear in court, today’s session of the trial was ad- journed shortly after the case was called. L. D. Higgins, father of the juror, was given permission to see his son this morning. “My boy is a Christian Scientist,” he said, “if Dr. Shauffler succeeded in giv- ing him any medicine, it was the first he had taken:in eight. years. I shall ask the Court to permit me to send a healer to him. If that is not allowed I shall procure a healer to administer absent treatment.” Attorneys for both sides stated this morning that unless Higgins’ iliness proved serious it could only result in brief delay of the trial, but that should it incapacitate him for any length of time, it would be necessary to choose an entirely new jury and begin the trial over again. “LIE” USED IN COURT, UPHELD BY U. S. JUDGE Rules Prosecutor May Call Word That Fits Case as Bench Understands English. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-—Federal Judge Mack ruled in favor of the shorter and uglier word today. Counsel for the Gov- ernment, cross-examining A. L. Wisner, on trial with John J. Meyers, for al- leged misuse of the malls in promoting stocks, forced the witness to admit he had made misstatements to the Postof- fice Department concerning his enter- rrises. These the prosecutor character- ized as lies. Counsel for the defense thereupon made stout objection. Here the Court interrupted. “The witness has admitted,” said Tudge Mack, “that he made these state- ments knowing them to be false, and they were therefore, if I understand the English language, lies. The prosecutor may use the word ‘lies’ as to such statements.”
