The armistice which has been in opera- tion since Dec. 3, was signed on that day by Bulgaria, Servia and Monte- negro on the one side and ‘Turkey on the other. Greece was never a party to the cessation of hostilities. She has continued fighting both on land and sea. The Montenegrins also have come into conflict with the garrison of Scutari on several occasions notwithstanding the truce. The Turkish Government displays a Spirit of compromise in its reply to the note handed to it by the representatives of the European Powers Jan. 17. The response was presented today by Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, the grand vizier, to Margrave Johann von Pal- lavicini, dean of the diplomatic corps in the Turkish capital. | The Porte stipulates for the reten- » tion by Turkey of those quarters of the fortress of Adrianopl: in which the Holy Shrines are situated. It proposes to leave in the hands of the Powers the disposal of the land on the right bank of the Maritza River which runs through Adrianople. At the same time the Ottoman Government consents to the dismantling of the fortifications of that city. In reference to the Turkish Islands in the Aegean Sea, the documents insists on the maintenance of Turkish sov- ereignity there, owing to the proximity of the islands to the Turkish mainland, but it intimates the readiness of the Ottoman Government to leave the set- tlement of the insular regime to the Powers.

Turkish Terms Not Acceptable, Says Bulgar, on Behalf of Allies. LONDON, Jan. 30.—‘‘Emphatically, the Turkish reply to the note of the Euro- pean Powers is not acceptable,” was the comment made by Dr. Daneff, lead- er of che Bulgarian peace delegation, when he was shown the terms of the «ttoman response. He continued: “Speaking on behali of all the al- fies, I state that the Turkish reply is net of a character to form. the basis of fresh negotiations. We have said that the fortress of Adrianople and tlie Turkish islands ‘tn the Aegean Sea must be ceded, and without this the nezotiaticns will not be resumed. “M.-reover this c-esion must be made before hostilities are resumed, as the first shot will change our conditions.”’ oyderes RAUSVORY LAOH“ S , ou Fa ‘ f ‘ will wear well; extra li sheet wae and deep hem; while 6 1, OF : : ine stripe serge; még sh ; realty a p Men’s 25e Brighton Garters....... #4 special (Main Floor).. ge; mannish and novelty dozen last, only 7 . rd Dept.—Second apenas e weaves in all the new Spring shadings; te Women S $4 Jkirts also navy blue and black D AN $1.50 Sample $2.00 House » Boys’ 50e Flanneiette Nightshirts oo: oe Boy; ’ Overcoats abe hick vig: 2 ae actual $7.95 and $10.00 val- WAN \W\\eh)\ Dresses Dresse; ji Mens"25e and 50e Tie Pin and Clasps.... y ses iron chee a one hour special ues; tomorrow at \\ Wf Consisting of best OS eae hs Hh, Ls Main Floor cassimeres of boys’ 2% to 10 (Third Floor) a | percale, in neat g i " gz “ a m s, ‘= J Ae of age; mai rt bre: Ment . : vt | dae standar¢ per- om ussinn or conver ible eollars: IEE o-oo pecan mga Ce. $1.50 Lingeri " sigem, is” shonboagt trie f- erwear’| si sinctines: areca fo etual _JvVC value, 1 eels, f BAL Sy Pal: 5 Yi | ; s ’ a4 striped af ) (aj wed riday, one to a cus- gocuee > mm nie e5 ngere HLH nurse stripes; material; iso : omen ‘Ss n tomer (Second Floor and tan, for one hour na. ow ° | oni tds f Soy ee eer ae. we —Clothing Dept).. | Nn aies ge o and checked /j// e only € a Waists, 45¢ J other patterns; AAD; pe — and ffosiery 25c Misses’ P Reaniar $1.00 Children s Hats Rte pire Waists of fine lawn and a perfect ateing ; deep hem, we : ; 25¢ Misses’ Muslin Drawers; well , lidren’s bearskin Yel ond atis ‘ , i1m- hi, re ragga, :" uld’s Ode ests and Union Suits made, flounce edged $1.00 Children’s Bearski } a batiste, neatly tmm \i oe aah iat pier ky hy 3 Child’s Odd Vest 1 [ Suit ade, fl ig 43 Plage 2 mee ge f i — med with fine Val. lace Mi | neck: short and ee ee : Womens’ $1.00 All-wool Vests, odds... with Ince; all — 10¢ ) ‘ Maw Oe ee eee ® . . . y 9 ‘ 7 ‘ ‘ it oor) Wate Wloo and insertion; high or Hil th, long sleeves; necks; all sizes Women’s 39e Cotton Vests, odds........ 9c : ‘ad A - oY, .t low neck, long or short ArT splendid — from. 34 Boys’ 50e Union Suits, odd sizes $2.50 Piano Stools Yer Cdliars : AAG sleeves; many styles to J i ers — | Children’s 15¢ Ribbed Hose yn ‘walnut ‘vencerss” fo a j | ‘ ( é Py e Odds and ends in Silver Collars; Nie.

He went out to @ lunch at 10 p. m. while the ballots were . & counted, he testified, and when he ne back he was shown the tally sheets the other officials and was told 1ere to sign his name. He signed as ected, he said. mihe witness said he did not make up the tally sheets and did not know that it Was his duty. The recount fn the contest showed a total of 204 ballots, 106 being for Dyer, 73 for Gill, 17 for the Progressive ticket, and 5 for the Socialist candidates.

Blection officials said, however, that the blank Bishop referred to was on the ballot at the primaries last August, and not on the November ballot.

| $4000 FOR PUBLI ADMINISTRATOR I

Basis Is Introduced—Makes Office Appointive. et By J. J. McAULIFFE. A Staff Correspondent of the Po*t- Dispatch. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, JEF- FERSON CITY, Jan. 30.—A bill to place the St. Louis Public Administrator on a salary of $4000 a year and changing the office from elective to appointive was introduced today by Senators Kin- ney and Philips of St. Louis. Under the terms of the bil! the Ad- ministrator is to be appointee by the Probate Court and to hold office for four years. The measure provides ‘that it shall not become effective until] the term of the present Public Administrator has expired. It is the betief of the legis- lators that the State Constitution does not permit the change in the compensa- tion of a State official during his term of office. If a measure py Wright: of Greene becomes a law, there will be no immedi- ate marriage of persons obtaining di- vorces. His bill provides for a provi- sional decree of divorce to hold one year, after which an absolute divorce will be granted upon a showing of good conduct. The Court is empowered to set aside the provisional decree at any time within a year. The bill also provides that the @aec- fendant in default cases may come in against the decree.

Hears Business Men’s League Arguments.

By J. J. McAULIFFE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. POST-DISPATCH BURDBAU, FERSON CITY, legislation for St. Louis received a fresh impulse as a result of the presentation ef the question by members of the Busi- ness Men’s League before the joint House and Senate ¢ommittee of Munici- tal Corporations. At the conclusion of the hearing 14 out-of the 19 members ex- pressed themselves in favor of the bills transferring from the Governor to the Mayor of St. Leuis the appointment of police and excise officials. JEF- move derelict or incompetent officials and giving to the Municipal Assembly authority to fix the salaries and limit the organization of the Police Depart- ment were accepted without objection. Anti-Saloon League Represented. Representative Charles»M. Hay of Cal- laway County, an attorney of the Anti- Saloon League, who is preparing to ‘ead the ight against the home rule meas- ures, attended the hearing and asked questions designed to show that the xind of home rule St. Louis wanted.was a bill to permit the lifting of the lid on Sunday. Murray Carleton, president of the Carleton Dry Goods Co., A. L. Shap- leigh, president of the Norvell-Shaf- leigh Hardware Co., Samuel D. Capen, insurance agent and chairman of the league’s committee on home rule, and Henry A. Kersting, acting for the Ger- man-American Alliance, spoke for ‘the bills. The Rev. W, W. Boyd advocated the election of Police, Excise and Elec- tion Commissioners, taking the posi- tion that the mayoralty admin- istrations of Ziegenhein and retsmann would have been incapable of selecting a good board of Police Commissioners or an Excise Commissioner for St. Louis Senator Brogan of St. Louis inter- rupted to ask if Dr. Boyd had not cam- paigned for Ziegenhein and supported his administration. The minister blushed Weak, deranged kidneys or bladder can be cured in nearly every case by ii as he replied in the af- re. li-known formula: ss rene si nie Author Explains Bills. Get one-half ounce Murax Compound,/ Charles W. Bates, who wrote the one-half ounce ‘fluid extract Buchu.. |home.rule bills, talked at length on the principle of local self-government which he said was at the foundation of the demand of the people of St. Louis for genuine home rule legislation. | He spoke of the tyranny of the State over the city and remarked that no county would tolerate such domiration. He said that authority implied _re- sponsibility and St. Louis 4f g..en a direet and vital] interest in her police and excise affairs, would take pride in conducting those departments ‘n strict obedience to the law and the whole- some sentiment of its people. He de- clared that the insinuation the bills were purposed to open the salo.ns on Sunday was as malicious as it was un- true. Personally he believed, ¢ said, that the Governor ought not to hav: the power of removal, but as a major- ity of the committee thought stherwise he would offer no objection to such an amendment. Murray Carleton and A. L. Shapleigh argued that as St. Louis was compelled to bear the entire burden of its Police Department, they should have the right to run it. There were just as many scandals, they said, under State rule as it was possible to have under a home rule or municipal system and thers was just as healthy a public sentiment among the voters of St. Louls as among those in any part of the State. “fam not in favor of opening the sa- loons on Sunday,” said Carleton. How St. Louis People Stand. Shapleigh, in response to a question from Representative Hay, admitted that n great many people in St. Louis favored a modified Sunday closing, but these were people, he said, who believed that it was no more harmful to drink a glass of beer on Sunday than on any other day of the weék. There were saloonkeepers, he thought, who would like to see the lid lifted and others whv were against it. He would not under- take to say if the question were sub- mitted to @ vote of the people, whether the St. Louis saloons would be opened or closed Sundays. He was asked, as was Carleton, if there was Objection to amending the Business Men's League bills so as to confer on the Municipal Assembly power to regulate police department finances. “I see no reason to object to such an amendment,’ he answered. “I heartily concur ine the suggestion,’’ said Carle- ton. Samuel D. Capen, who originally ob- jected to this provision, said tbat he had expressed merely a personal view of the matter and was not attempting to speak for the Business Men’s League. ‘“‘If the members of this committee de- sire to add this amendment, I am per- fectly willing to accept it,’’ said Capen. “Tt am also willing to defer to the wis- dom of the committee in respect to other amendments which they may see fit to adopt.”’ Post-Dispatch Interview Cited. President-elect Woodrow Wilson's ,¢e- cent exclusive interview in the Pos:- Dispatch on the subject of home rule for the large cities was pleaded in ad- vocacy of the measures. Henry A. Kersting denied that the German-American Alliance or any mem- ber of it indorsed the home rule bills because they might possibly pave the way for tilting the lid. ‘The German people are law-abiding and they respect order and decency in their political affairs,” said Kersting ‘They ask only their rights under the law.”’ The Municipal Corporations Comuinit tee after the hearing, decided to take no action on the Dilis or the amend- ments offered at this @time, but ser next Wednesday night as the dat: cf the final hearing.

Esthetic Prisoner, Worsted, Spends Night in Cell Without Washing Off Grime. ———— a, An esthetic gentleman who applied for shelter at the East St. ouis Police Station Wednesday night started a fight because a jailer laughed his fastidi- ousness to scorn. The esthetic gentleman registered from Brooklyn, N. y. His nose curled in a superior manner as Iafayette Fowler, the porter, led him into the ‘bull ring,” reserved for the accommodation of charity guests. | “IT say, old chap, you cawn’t expect me to Stay in this place with all these &-a-persons?”’ he remarked to Fowler. “Sure!” said Fowler. ‘Sorry I can’t give you the bridal suite, but it’s just been let out.” “But the bawth, man, the bawth!

4 Where do you expect me to wash my fac: and hands?’ Fowler pointed to a sink at which a negro was performing his evening ablu- tions. The stranger giared at the Jailer in amazement. As he glanced around he noticed the wash room used by the policemen. “I shaii make my toilet in there,” he announced. “The—the—ahem—the deuce you will!” rejoined Fowler. “I certainly shall. you'll regret it!’’ Fowler refused to stand aside and the Brooklynite smote him. For severa} minutes a young cyclone swept the ‘‘bull ring.”’ When the dust settled, the stranger was prostrate on the earth, with Fowler triumphantly sitting on him. With the aid of some other prisoners, the Jailer dragged the stranger into a cell, where he had to remain all night without even a chance to wash his hands at the sink. Stand aside, or

A fashion plate for the police depart- ment is a feature of the new police manual, which will be distributed Fri- day at the various stations, replacing the manual in use since 1902. The standard of fashion for policemen, according to the manual’s wora picture of the correct attire, consists of a neat uniform, which must be kept buttoned at all times, while the wearer is on duty, a white standing collar, a black tie, white cuffs and black shoes. Prepared by Woerhelide. The new rules were prepared under the direction of A. A. B. Woerheide, President of the Board of Police Com- missioners. One of the new features is a provision that the salary of a police- man killed on duty shall be paid to his heirs for 12 months after his death.

Under the question- ing of Miss Hassler’s attorneys, she told of having seen Miss Hassler and Fisher together one afternoon in Aspin- wall, Pa. She testified that Fisher, when he | stopped on the porch where Miss Hass- ‘ler was, put his arms aground her and she put both her arms about his neck. When asked to describe Fisher’s man- ner toward Miss Hassler, the witness | aaid that it was one of deep affection. Mrs. Snider related conversation she al- leged she had with Fisher «bout Miss 'Hassler.. In one of them she said that | Fisher asserted: ‘If she (Miss Hassler) | bakes biscuits as Well as she doa ‘everything else she will suit me.” That she never changed her drinks be- cause “Carl” would not sanction it, was the statement made by Miss Hass- ler under cross-examination. Miss Hassler said her drink was “‘gin fizz.” She said she went with Fisher to the Claypool, Hotel English and restaurants, but drank nothing but ‘‘gin fizzes.”’ “You never changed your queried Attorney Henry Spann. “No, sir. Carl would not allow me,” was the answer. Mise Hassler tola how “Cari’”’ came to her home in the spring of 1909 and burned a “bushel of love letters.” Dozens of letters written by Fisher to Miss Hassler whilé at home and abroad ocoupied the attention of attorneys and a jury. Each letter was entered as evi- dence and read by Attorhey Bailey for Miss Hassler. Under cross-examination Miss Hassler said Fisher told her if she brought suit he could “buy up a Judge and any pin-headed jury in the county with his money.’’ She said when she refused to sign the papers binding her to a contract in settlement of differences, Fisher gaid: ‘‘Well, June, if you don't want to sign this paper, you will have to sue.”’ Later Miss Hassler was asked to tell about the time she wae in Figh- er’s stateroom on a train whén a trip was being made. Said Miss Hassler: “Carl came in @nd said: ‘My head has ached for 10 days—I have not slept for 10 déys! I said: “Poor boy—I’'m so sof: ry—but I can put you to sleep.’ Then I put his head Oh my lap and soothed him: I sang little songs to him and soon he Was snoring.

the Laelede Avenve District have been receiving complaints about the theft of eggs, milk and butter from the back- *, porch larders of residences in the dis- trict. The arrest of the seven youths, the police say, will result in an explana- tion of many of the thefts. ** Patrolman Brickey’s informer told him that some of the boys in the Washing- ton avenue basement had boasted of + “choking dummies,” a term used to de- scribe the theft of a bottle“of milk. After: Brickey had made the arrests he examined the hole beneath the trap door, but found no loot. When Cupt. O’Brien asked the prisoners why they had dug a hole beneath the door sev- eral of them replied they wanted to hide things. None confessed to having par- ticipated in any thefts except Wilson, who told O’Brien that he stole a pair of } trousers Wednesday night from a resi- | dence at 3524 Wyoming street. ' Mrs. Wilson stated that the boys for- merly rented a stable in the rear of her house, but two weeks ago moved into the basement when she told them she wanted the stable for other purposes. ” Capt. O’Brien stated that in addition ; - to the theft of milk, he believed. ‘ie could connect the boys with other rob- beries {n his ‘district. Mrs. Kate Mo- meno of 3667 Laclede avenue, who was robbed of her purse as she was en- tering her home several nights ago, toic wey the police that the theft was commit- ted by boys. ‘WIFE.

Shoot Her and Meantime

Standing in the doorway of her father’s saloon, clad only in her nightgown, Pauline Fenkowitch, 12 years old, plead- ed with two highwaymen who were try- ing to fob the saloon at 30 St. Clair avenue, East St. Louis, Wednesday night, not to shoot her. The robbers had chased her father, Joseph Fenkowitch, out .of the saloon, and he ran through his living rooms in the rear. As the robbers started to foi- low him they were confronted by the girl. “Get out of the way,” they shouted at her, “or we will shoot you.” They leveled their revolvers at the child, but she was not frightened. ‘Please don’t shovt me,’’ she said. “Wait until I get dressed. It wouldn't look nice for people to come in and see me shot in my nightgown.” The fobbers pushed her out of the way, and ran through the living rooms in pursuit of her father. She had de- ‘layed them so long that he had time to escape. She then went to the telephone ond notified the police, but when they got there the robbers had disappeared. The saloon is in Whisky Chute. Fenko- witch was preparing to close for the night when the two robbers entered and told him to throw up his hands. They commanded him to open the cash regis- ‘er, but he fled. The commotion awvke Pauline, whose bedroom adjoined the saloon. WED EARLY ON $15 A WEEK Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston Be- lieves in Getting Early Start. BOSTON, Jan: 30.—Mayor Fitzgerald ' says a young man can start married life on $15 a week. The Mayor, who mar- ried young, said: “T’'d rather see a young fellow marry on $15 a week than hold aloof from mar- riage until] too late in life. It’s a great deal better for a young couple to strug- gle along together and have their little home and their little family than it ié to live singly until the man has gath-

nounce Anything for Him, MIAMI, Fia., Jan. %.—Declaring Hen- ry B. Alexander of. Trenton, N. J., aii not call upon him on political business, William J. Bryan today replied to re- ports sent out from Miami that he ha given assurance. he would accept the -portfollo of Secretary Of State in the Wilson Cabinet. Mr. Bryah dictated the following: ‘No attention whatever should be paid to such reports as sent out ‘from Miami last night. No friend would presume to speak for me in such a mat- ter, and no man who would assume to speak for me can be considered : friend. “I take it for granted that President- elect Wilson will give out anything he wants published, and I will give out anything I want published. Neither of us should be held responsible for what anybody says. Mr. Alexander did no‘ call upon political business, and ou: conversation was about an entirely dir ferent matter.” The Nebraskan will, it is said, remain at his winter home here until] the jaz: of February, when he will leave for Washington to attend the inauguration ceremonies. Tells of Conferences. The Herald says: “By seeming conincidence, three lead- ing Democrats of the United States met in Miami yesterday. They were Henry E. Alexander of Trenton, N. J., who probably stands closer to President- elect Wilson than any other man in the party; B. M. House of Texas, just as big a man in his own State as Mr. Alexander is tn his, and Hugh C. Wal- lace, occupying equally as prominent a position in the State of Washington. | ‘“‘All had conferences with Mr. Bryan during the day, Mr. Alexander spend- ing the bulk of the forenoon and the others taking a large share of the aft- ernoon and evening. “Alexander departed on ane early train this morning for New York and carries with him positive assurance given by Mr. Bryan of his acceptance of the highest gift within the power of

It “You have given me so many years of your life! Yqu and I are in- separable! You and I are one! You must not leave me now! “I attended St. Bartholomew's church last Sunday.

Mother Takes Woman Abroad. It was about this time (still in 1896), the son says, that the mother of the woman to whom the General was writ- ing, took her abroad to get her away from him. The following letter was for- warded to. her in Europe: “Although you have put the ocean be- tween us, you are mine, my wife, as you vourself have told me so many thou- sands of times. “T have sworn that you will never marry another until I die. You will not have long to wait.

A strange sequence of circumstances led up to the critical injury of 6- year-old: Phillip Owen by an auto- mobile, Wednesday afternoon, as he played in the street in front of his home at 2635 Locust Street. The boy, whose recovery is not ex- pected by city hospital physicians, is a pupil at the Stoddard kindergarten, Twenty-ninth street and Lucas ave- nue, and would have been there at the hour of the accident, under ordinary circumstances. He kad been sent home from the kindergarten, how- ever, because his home was under quarantine, and the quarantine was established there because one of the pital for Infectious Diseases, a few days ago, lived with his parents at 2635 Locust street and returned to them after escaping. The little diphtheria patient was foun-i there by health officers two days after his escape and was taken back to the hospital. The house then was fumi- gated and the quarantine was lifted Health Department employes wete re- moving the placards from the house at the very time the Owen boy vas run over and he would have been permit- ted to return to the kindergarten 7'hurs- day. P / Father Was Accidentally Killed. The boy is the son of Mrs. Ruth Owen, whose husband, John Owen, was killed accidentally at Valley Park about two years ago. Mrs. Owen has two other children, Alice, 9 years old, and-Fred, 4. Mrs. Owen told a Post-Dispatch re- porter at the hospital, Thursday morn- ing, that her dead husband had ap- peared to her twice in dreams during the last four months and warned her to take especially good care of Phil- ip. ‘ “Be careful of Philip. He is going to be hurt,’”’ was the often-repeated warn- ing from her husband, she said. Conscious, but barely able to speak, the boy showed great fortitude. ‘“‘Mother,’’ he whispered, “‘the other children made me run across the street. spank me, will you?’’ The automobdile was owned by Alber: G. Blanke, a real estate man, of 3241 Copelin avenue, and was driven by Aaron Martin, a negro chauffeur, of 1710 Gratiot street.

The blood is the product of diges- Whatever sort of food is di- gested in the stomach is absorbed into the blood. If the food is badly digested this is also absorbed into the blood. If the food sours in the stomach before digestion or during digestion, the acids are absorbed into the blood. These acids in the blood produce a condition known as rheumatism. The acids are liable to produce mi- croscopic crystals. These crystals are deposited in the ligaments and cartilages, causing ,rheumatism of the joints. Sometimes in the bones, producing periodic pains every time a storm approaches. Sometimes in the muscles, producing lumbago, stiff and muscular rhea- re tion. neck, myalgia, matism generally. Pe-ru-na Corrects Digestion. The reason that Pe-ru-na relieves such cases is easy to understand. Pe-ru-na corrects digestion. Pe-ru-na corrects digestion partly by hurrying it. Pe-ru-na does not furnish any artificial digestant, it simply assists Nature in doing its own digesting. In this way the products of diges- tion are more normal. The blood is not filled with imperfectly digested food. No acids accumulate in the stomach while Pe-ru-na is being taken. Thos rheumatism is prevented. It is a.great deal better to prevent a disease than to try to cure it. But even after rheumatism has begun tho condition that — it ought to be removed if possible Good Digestion Stops Rheumatism. The first thing to dois to secure good digestion, then if it is necessary specific medicines for rheumatism may be taken. But until the di tion is made perfect it is of littl no use to take medicines for ae matism. To produce good digestion Pe-ru-na should be taken. mE Pe-ru-na, Man-a-lin and -cu-p unsightly | manufactured by the Pe-ru-na Com- Pinketatt | Pany, Columbus, Qhio.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Three men and one woman were burned to death, three men were seriously injured and a dozen others suffered minor hurts in a fire which early today destroyed the Iowa Hotel, a four-story brick structure: at 230-332 North Clark street. The hotel was a cheap affair, which contained only wooden cots for beds and was above a saloon owned by Abra- ham and Hyman Marco, who were also the hotel proprietors. All the dead were found in the rooms they had occupied. Those seriously hurt jumped from win- dows to the street. The dead are: James O’Gara, New Haven, Conn.; B. Benjamin, James Love, Oak Park; Miss Pearl Clark, also known as Wilson. Most of the guests were aroused by the screams of Thomas Lee, who es- caped to the street from the third floor clad only in his underwear. Many oth- ers followed him to the street and were cared for in nearby hotels. BRIDE TRIES TO END LIFE Mrs. Birdie Barger, 19 years old, a bride of four months, tried to end her life Wednesday night with carbolic acid. She expressed sorrow for her act Thurs- day after she returned to her home from the city hospital. She drank the acid while despondent because of the death of her first hus- band, John Patton, who killed himself two years ago by taking carbolic acid, she told reporters. She said she married Patton when she was 15 years old. She was married to Blanchard Barger, a Street car conductor, in October, 1912. senbrenner of 3640 Cleveland avenue. Witnesses said the automobile was moving slowly and that the boy ran directly in front of it, apparently not seeing it. One of the wheels passed over his head, they said. (MUZZLED SETTER | SAVES GRILDREN FROM BULLDOG Rolls Smaller Beast on. the Ground and Holds It Until a Policeman Kills It. A large muzzled dog owned by Martin McNiff, 2659 Emerson avenue, playing with children in front of the house shortly after 4 p. m. Wednesday, at- tacked a bulldog thought to have been mad, which rushed at the children, rolled the beast over on the ground and held it until Mounted Patrolman Patrick Falvey could dismount and shoot it. The dead animal was ordered taken to the City Bacteriologist. The bulldog first attacked John Cullin, 28 years old, single, living at 4427 Union avenue. He was passmg 2669 Emerson avenue when the dog, unmuzzled and unlicensed, according to the police, bit him on the left thigh. Cullin managed to get away and the dog then turned to another man. Patrolman Falvey called the dog. It rushed at his horse, Falvey said, and caught the animal by the tail. It élung there a second and then rushed at the children. Cullin was attended by Dr. Dexter H. Hadley, 2510 Emerson avenue. The police say the bulldog was owned by Christ Hathaway of 2609 Emerson ave- nue. Two Boys Are Bitten.

{ PADDING PUBLIC PAYROLLS, It is announeed thét the number of commis- sioners provided for in the bill creating @ Public Service Commission will be increased from three to five. The change is not made because more than three commissioners are needed or because five would do more efficient work than three, It is agreed that three are sufficient to do all that is necessary to be done. There is reason to be- lieve that the smaller number is preferable, The admitted reason for the increase is to pro- vide comfortable official berths for Messrs. Knott and Wightman, two members of the Rail- road and Warehouse Commission. The Public Service Commission will be invested with all the duties of the present commission except those relating to grain Inspection. To cover that func- tion a new office of State Warehouse Commis- sioner will be created to which Mr. Bradshaw the third member of the Railroad and Warehouse Commission, will be appointed.

THE FREE BRIDGE ‘‘WHY.’’ A resolution introduced in the Legislature asks why St. Louis has not completed the free bridge the State authorized it to build six years ago It is so much of a study in psy- chology to frame a reason that perhaps the ser- this winter. vices of an alienist are required. Some St. Louisans have been more desirous of ‘ having their own way than of gaining the bene- bring. Some with Ter- minal pathies undoubtedly have desired that the benefits should never be gained. Demagogic ' glass-blowers have blown too many bottles in aid of obstruction. A charge that the East Side ap- proach is bottled up resulted in‘a bottling up of fits e ‘bridge. will public judgment and initiative, which in turn bottled up necessary activities for completing the entire bridge. One important reason for the non- completion is that the additional bond issue re- quired did not get enough votes. St. Louisans are continually called on to ex- plain to strangers why the bridge is unfinished and the number of different explanations is about as great as the number of those who explain it. It is time explanations were syndicated, so to speak, standardized. The legisicztive query af- fords occasion for formulatin, the cfficial ex- planation. Who can compress into 20 words the best statement conveying to the Legislature the information it has a right to know? For the best tabloid answer to the Legislature’s question which will satisfy its curiosity and serve for popular use the Post-Dispatch will give $5.00. The answer should not exceed 20 words.

Before the Wabash receivers are discharged by the court St. Louis should accept their offer look- ing to grade separation in St. Louis. Arrange- ments they have already perfected provide for ‘separation at many crossings in Chicago. La rr tities FROM LINCOLN TO TAFT. On the day the national House ot Representa- tives voted a temple memorial to Abraham Lin- colm for preserving the Union and establishing individual freedom in this country, President Taft, in a public speech in Washington, denounced a congressional bill granting autonomy and inde- pendence to the Filipinos. The Republican party started on Lincoln’s principle that “No man is good enough to gov- ern another man without that other’s consent.” It is closing its career with Taft's scornful al- lusion to the question of granting independence to the Filipinos as a cob-webbed issue. The differ- ence measures the party's fall and explains it. i, it. —

Some of the ladies, especially the more fash- fonable, are inclined to embonpoint, and while that Gov. Major has agreed to these appointments in order that all opposition to the Public Service Commission bill may be removed and all per- sonal claims satisfied: This compromise offers an excellent example of the way in which public interests are usually sacrificed to partisan considerations. In order to satisfy personal and political claims and to in- crease party spoils office holders are multiplied and the public treasury is drained by useJess sal- aries. The office of Warehouse Commissioner may be necessary, but it was unnecessary to increase the salary from $3000 to $4500. With this office and with only three Public Service Commissioners the present incumbents could be taken care of, if the Governor thought them acceptable men for the places. The salaries of the new commission- ers aré fixed at $5500 each, an increase of $2500 over the salaries of the present commissioners. The State treasury will be burdened with a total charge of $12,500 in excess of the needs of public business solely to satisfy the political claims of! office seekers and office holders regardless of the public interests. : If personal claims to official pay override pub- lic considerations it would be cheaper to con- tinue the existing Railroad and Warehouse Com- mission until the terms of its members expire; it would be cheaper to give them. pensions for their official terms than to increase the number of permanent commissioners at higher salaries. Padding public pay rolls for party patronage and political pets is about the . worst possible work a Democratic Legislature professing to be progressive can do. It is one of the tricks that has created the démand for direct popular control of legislation. It has never been profitable for u political party., ea | ch . ~ ’ * =. = 7 If Thomas Jefferson was the first muckraker, as C. P.

WHERE FISHING WAS GOOD. From the Philadelphia Ledger. The Pujo committee has answered a question that financial people In this city have asked innumerable times. We now know exactly the amount of deposits carried by Philadelphia’s larg- est private banking firm. It Is a tidy sum—$49,000,000—which Mr. Stotesbury has under his immediate eye. His insti- tution is quite abreast of the three larg- est national banks in this city, and greater in deposits than any trust com- pany in Pennsylvahia. When Oscar Hammerstein, in an appreciative way, referred to Mr. Stotesbury as a ‘“‘finan- celal sponge,’’ he doubtless took note of the goodly size of the aforesaid ab- sorbent. It reminds me of Arthur BE. Newbold’s first meeting with J. P. Morgan when he became a partner In the firrh. Said the great Pierpont upon Mr. Newbold’s presentation: ‘Well, I hear you are going to fish in our pond.” “Yes,”’ replied the Philadelphia bank- er, “and understand the fishing is very good.”

DIRGE,. I am tired of hearing the man Exhort us to move to the front. I want to be fair as I can, But I fear I shall have to be blunt. I don’t like to walk on the toes | Of people too weary to start; I’m afraid they will flatten my nose, Or run a hatpin through my heart. I am tired of taking my place And hooking my wrist in a strap; I want to sit down for a space, And take an occasional nap. I am tired of taking the turns With a lurch upon somebody's knees, And I want to lie down tn the ferns And rest in the shade of the trees. I am tired of trying to hide With a fare between me and the aisle. And being maliciously. eyed For many and many a mile. I can feel the hot glare of their eyes Impinge on the back of my head, And it always has been a surprise That shame has not stricken me dead. I am tired of people I know Discovering me when I’m rude, [I want to go out in the snow And the wonderful solitude. I’m a gentleman up on the strap, And a ruffian down on the seat, But I land in a washwoman’s lap, And the wreck of my pride is complete. I am tired of shouldering through, And tired of moving along; I am tired of seeing the crew, And tired of hearing the gong. I am tired of being forlorn, And tired of hearing the bell; I want to go out with a horn, And tell the true story of Heil.

NOT ESSENTIAL. A little girl in a Missouri school was having trouble with her geography les- sons. Her teacher sent a note to the child’s mother, asking that they help her in her geography at home. There was no answer. One day, when the lesson had been even more trying than usual, the teacher asked: “Aren't you getting any help in your geography at home?” ‘The child turned up a very serious little face. “Mamma said she didn’t know any geography, and she got married; Aunt Nettie didn’t know any geography, and she got married; and you know geogra- phy, and you ain’t never got married,” she said.

Think a headache away. Think yourself to sleep. Your mind is the bess; your body is the servant; make it obey. Such, in brtef, is the theory of auto- suggestion which, having been worked out by Dr. Paul Emile Levy in the school at Nancy, France, on the rules laid down by Ribot. One may train himself to accomplish most anything by two minutes of serious auto-sugges- tion. HINK yourself ini success. Think yourself hungry. Here is Dr. Levy's: method as de- scribed by Prof. Vogt: ) A person can really control himseif and suggest much that will ne'p him to perfect health of body and mind. What he requires chiefly is power of concentration, and increase of will- power, so that throygh his nerves he may control. almost every function o2 the body, even those. now considered more or less automatic, or unconecious. Levy suggests that if a person place sible and fix his mind upon ‘what he wishes to do with himself, he wil! grad- ually train himself to be able to do al- most anything. That the conven ration may be perfect it is best to be in a dark room, to which no noise can come. Levy suggests that when we wish ‘+o imbue ourselves with an idea we either hold it in thought or utter tt in ‘a whisper, then a little louder and then quite loudly. If, for instance, you wan: to go to sleep you first think: ‘I’m asleep;” then say very softly four times: “Im asleep, I’m asleep, I’m asleep, I’m asleep;’’ then a little louder, three times: “I’m asleep, I'm asleep, I’m asleep.’’ Then out loud, twice: ‘‘I’m asleep, Im 4Asleep.’’ Stop two or three seconds between each trial. Movements ef ‘the lips may take the place of vocal found, if other persons be near. When we come to more active suggestions they should be reinforced by aii our powers. Do not say to yourself ‘*”. want to be hungry,” but “I am hungry.” Then think of all the good things you like and repeat the words to yourself. This is a splendid way to, get up an himself in as quiet a condition as pos-}

Dr. Paul Emile Levy’s method for securing re- sults simply by intense thought is here set forth. It is claimed for the method that it will pro- duce sleep, hunger, drive away headache and pro- duce other supposedly impossible results.

appetite. It is a common proverb, “Ap- petite comes with eating.”” Somctimes you say you are not hungry when you sit down, but as you begin to eat you become hungrier, This is due to active suggestion, and is aided by good serv- ice, appetizing odors, etc. HE main point in auto suggestion is concentration of mind and force. Do not frame the idea as a wish, but as something already accomplished. Not “IT wish I was free of this headache,” but “‘the headache is gone!”’ Here are some formulae for gaining concentration of mind: In the morning on awakening say Once (in thought): ‘Today I shall not wander in thought.’’ Once (in thought): ‘“‘Today my will rollow consecutively.”’ Four times (in a low voice): not wandering in thought.” Four times (in a low. voice): my head is perfectly clear.”’ Three tfmes (a Httle louder): my thoughts are consecutive.”’ Twice. (louder still): .‘‘Today I am thinking clearly.’’ Reinforcing. the feeling: ‘In thought I face many dangers that. may occur, falling into the water, jumping out of the way of a runaway horse, if fire occurs in the house, circumstances un- der which I should have to summon up ideas “IT am ‘Today “Today,

all my energies to save myself.’’

Active reinforcing: Pass both hands 4 burg

cver the forehead. Immediate suggestion—Just before sit- ting down to. your desk, or going to work, say: Once (in thought): go as, if on wheels.’’ Once (in-thought): perfectly clear.’’ Once ‘(in thought): be. at work.”’ Four times (in a whisper): “My thoughts do not wander, they are fixed on work.’’ Twice (a little louder): goes as if'on wheels.’’ Once (aloud): “I am al) here.”’ Reinforcement by feeling: ‘I think of the time when I shall have many under my orders and be able to con- centrate my mind absolutely on the work in hand.” At reinforcement: Pass your hands over your forehead and then go to work energetically. ) In such formulae we may express ideas having a direct bearing upon the day’s task, always keeping the end in view, forgetting the details for the moment. If pygmy you begin the day with . Headache, .experience suggests the Se es formulae for getting rid of it: “What de L want with this pain?” “It has. disappeared!’’ ‘“T have no headache!’ “In ten minutes it will pass off!’’ ‘“Tt’s gone now!”’ “T knew it would pass off.’ “My head is as clear as a bell!’ Lack of the power of concentration is generally due to some cause, as well as to lack of training of the will. If the blood be laden with poisons from __ill-digested food all. the will. power will help #ut little. It i necessary,.to have the physica system in. good order | through reasonable food regimen, utilize all of the forces of auto- sug- gestion. With mind and body moniously self-control is estaltished, and a person may become real master of cross and of his fate. “Now my work will ‘“‘My head is clear-— “Tt is a pleasure to “My work ——

WALL, one of the War De- partment messengers, brought me a note from Gen. Rufus Ingalls, then Quartermaster General of the United States Army, asking if he might bring Gen. Phil Sheridan to call, as he was anxious to meet the wife of Gen, Pickett. I replied that I should ‘be most happy to see Gen. Sheridan sand named a time. The “‘gay rider’ proved, as my Soldier had described him to be, modest, warm- héarted, genial, exceedingly jolly, orig- inal, entertaining, a little abrupt, and most unaffected. “IT have often wanted to meet you, Gen, Sheridan,” I said, “and have fre- quently, as you may have heard, tak- en your name in vain. At the reunion of the Blue and the Gray at Gettys- in “1887, when the Philadelphia Brigade and Pickett’s "men shook hands across the bloody chasm, Col. Charles Bain of Philadelphia, in his welcoming address, spoke of that meet- ing as being the first reunion of the Blue and the Gray. In my response I sald: “My friends, Col. Bain has made only one mistake. This is not the first reunion...iThe first one was at Appo- mattox, when Sheridan's soldiers shared their rations with Pickett’s ragged, half-starved men. ana when Shert- dan himself handed the pocketbook to Piekett and said, ‘Here, Pickett, take this, for I know’ you haven't a d— cent.” And he hadn’t General, and he took the purse from you in the same spirit in which it was offered.” “T'll be blankety blankety blanked if he did, madame.

In the first place, we neither of us ever made a single mistake in our lives and we never let the other fellow know where we were, where we were going or what we were up to. Then again, neither of us was a Solomon, or distinguished himself at West Point, and nobody ever suspected 4bat either of us would amount to a row of pins. “But, you see, at the beginning of the war, I got snowed under six foot deep in that old rascal’s department (point- ing to Gen. Ihgalls). “The Quartermas- ter-Generals and Quartermasters don't now, never did and never will amount to anything, any time, anyhow. True, ol4 Jack and I were a little dissimilar in that he never smiled and I am al- ways smiling except when I am taking a smile—Hey, Rufus, how’s that?—and then old Jack was a great church-go- ing Presbyterian and was always pray- ing, and I—well, [ call upon the Lord just as often as Ne did, oftener, I sus- pect, but in a rather different and more demanding way.

And old Jack, acknowledging for the first time in his life that he had made a mis- take, determined to make amends and undo the harm he had done by getting ahead of us so often and gave me the tip and became my ‘control.’ For, you see, I never came to the front and wasn’t heard of often till old Jack had passed in his checks.”’ “TI have never forgiven you, General,’ w I said, for Five Forks.” “Forgive me, madame? Why, Five Forks enabled your husband to fight his greatest battle.

WHISPERS 10 RING BY LONG DISTANCE Inventor Turner Tells of Marvel- ous Feats, in Proving Instru- ment’s Worth in Court.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau ef the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Kelly M. Tur ner, inventor of the dictograph and own- er of the patent, was a witness before Tudge Mulqueen in General Sessions in the trial of Mrs. Fanny Dio, a fortune teller, who is charged with having at- tempted to get money by blackmail from Dr. Samuel Tandlich. The principal evi- dence against Mrs. Dio was that of @ detective who swore that by the ald of a dictograph he overheard a conversa- tion between a messenger’from Mrs. Dio and Dr. Tandlich in the physician's of- fice. The testimony of the inventor was offered to prove the instrument was suf- ficiently effective to enable the detective Ff to hear what: was said. Turner said that only once before had he consented to appear as a witness in a trial. He had the utmost confidence in his instrument, which he perfected in 1907, after devoting the best years of his life to it. He sold no machines, he said, because his conscience forbade him to allow the instruments to get into the hands of persons not known to him as law abiding and trustworthy. Opens Field to Steal Secrets, “There is no limit to the possibility of the uses of the dictograph for criminal purposes,’ said Turner. ‘‘Blackmailers eould reap a harvest with it, trade and business secrets could be stolen, the hiding places of valuables revealed, the plans of the poliee and peace officers overheard.”’ The machine in court was a dicto- graph made for detective purposes and Turner said he leased several hundreds of therm. “My instructions In my office,” he said, ‘“‘are to make it as difficult for a man to lease one of these instruments as it.is to cash a $10,000 check in a bank where he is not known. “I have stretched wires from Paris to Berlin and from Rome to Naples over which conversation, picked up at a dis- tance of 20 or 30 feet from the receiver has been heard. For the King of En- sland, listening at the receiver, I spoke in a voice as low as was possible with- out whispering, standing 90 feet from the transmitter and he said he heard “very word. “In the room regarding which testi- mony is given here, 15 feet square, this instrument would record every sound, even a whisper.” Mides Details of Invention. Hé described the working of the ma- chine in a general way, but refused to so into details, saying that to go too far with his account of it might lead “unscrupulous persons to imitate the ma- by criminals. He said that a double diaphragm made it possible for the in- etrument to catch sound from any quar- ter and that its process might properly Le compared, regarding sound, to the effect of a magnifying glass increasing the size of an object. Turner said that he had also invented an attachment which, by means of a particular voice out of a chorus, making it possible to overhear one or more con- spirators in whispered conversation tn a crowded room.

For references, see Pedro Maupome. COME OUT OF THE WOODPFILE. HE Amateur Athletic Union is now about to prebe for other dark meat kids lurking around the Olympic wood- pile. The unearthing of Thorpe from among the stove wood seems to have started an unwonted activity on the part the organization—another case of locking the stable door after the nag bas goneé—which will probably astonish the busybodies, if pursued to the end. There is not the least doubt in the world that some of the country’s star perform- ers have entangled themselves in minor ways which would disqualify them, un- der strict interpretation of the rules.

Among other things that might be recommended to the attention of the A. A. U. is the “hands-off’’ policy in inter- collegiate affairs. Sooner or later the union will wreck on this rock, unless it learns that the intercollegiate body will not be governened by Mr. Sullivan’s rules, unless it cares to. . The A. A.

an $40,000 A YEAR MANAGER IS $2 PER WEEK WRITER ‘Frank Chance Seeks Way to Come Back at Those Who Talk About Him.

By W. J. O’Connor. Can a baseball manager exist on an annual allowance of $40,0007 Hardly. At least Frank Chance, the Peerless one, can’t see how he will make ends meet on this paltry pittance, so he has decided to become a baseball writer. On beautifully engraved stationery, emanating from “Cub Ranch, Gendora, Cal.,”” Mr. Chance suggests to many newspapers that he will write @ series of weekly articles on baseball during the coming campaign for $2 per week. “Often F have my own opinions to ex- press, and I would like to do 80 under my own signature,” writes the highest- priced manager in baseball. So he in- tends to answer Charley Murphy and charge only $2 per for his shafts of sar- casm. Chance must need the money. Indeed like other poor downtrodden athletes— Matty, Jennings, Cobb and Marquard, for instance—he looks to the newspaper game to get the price of a new “‘pan- ama” or a load of coal for next winter. The time is coming when the balliplayer will take his seat in the press box be- tween innings and tell the newspapers what happened on the “inside’’ out on the diamond. Then the baseball scouts will start gum-shoeing through the ¢édi- torial offices of the big dailies, where all the good ball players are sure to be found.

Cards Officers to Be Named, Business of electing a president, a sec- retary and a publicity man will occupy Mrs. Helene Britton’s time next week when she arrives from her home in Cleveland. Mrs. Britton promises to be here no later than Monday. Manager Hug also will arrive, and things will be- gin to hum in the vicinity of Natural Bridge road and Vandeventer avenue. Mrs. Britton intends to have a new president in harness before the National League meeting, which will be held in New York Feb. 12. Manager Huggins is eager that the new officiate be named by that date, so that his (Hug’s) bur- den will be lightened. The Cardinal chieftain will go to the meeting, armed to the teeth and if anybody offers a ball club for Fd Koney, Hug will trade the Big Train. The coming N. L. confab will be the first in four years that Roger Bresna- ban has not attended as a manager. The Duke has been reduced to the ranks and there is no need of his presence in Gay Gotham on Feb. 12 J. Evers will help to fight Charley Murf’s battles on that date. Wat! The Dafty Contract Missing? Those Browns must be balking over their new contracts. Col. Hedges has not received a signed document from the mail man for three days and the chances are there’s some trouble brewing. As the Post-Dispatch exclusively announced, Bert Shotton refuses to sign the pa- pers, but the identity of other hold- outs isn’t known.

very man on the Philadelphia Amer- Icans has been signed but the Chippewa Indian—Albert Bender. Connie Mack intends to have a personal chat with the chief before a new contract {s written. However, by signing all his other men et this early date, Mack has virtually exploded the theory that he pays his men poor salaries. Ballplayers won't be so hasty in signing if they are not Pleased with the stipend. BOXING COMMISSION TO NAME REFEREES IN N. Y. NEW YORK. Jan. 80.—The State Athietic

The shades of night were falling last, | As is their daily habit, When through the village streets there passed A Cincinnati “Rabbit.” “What, he there! ‘Rabbit,’ bide awee!” Said I, “what's all this hurry?’ “I’m on Konetchy’s trail,” said he, “Ana therefore I should worry!” * ° * The A. A. U. probe is sinking deeper and deeper. Melvin Shepard who reeled off a few fast yards at the Olympic games, has been accused of writing. Not only writing, but selling what he wrote, wherein he has it on the amateur poet, who has trouble ‘in giving his stuff away. = = * We learn with joy that ‘Duke’ Kahan- amoka, who was bitter by a ferocious 10-foot eel, while in swiraming, will suf- fer né iN results from the encounter. It is reported, however, that the eel is in danger of blood poisoning. Serves him right, * * * “Rabbit” Huggins will no doubt glean much comfort from the report that every player on the Decatur (IIL) team is a noldout. It never was so worse but what it could be worser, eh, Miller? St. L. U. Eleven Has Only One Game for 1913 Rolla Battle, Set for Early in October, Is Extent of Book- ings to Date. A game with Rolla &chool of Mines to be played early in October is the only date filled so far on the St. Louis U. football schedule for next season. The Billiken man- agement has been holdi back, waiting for the faculty to act on the eligibility rules for future use at the blue and white school, and now that the Missourl Valley code has beén prescribed, Work on the schedule will be reached. Negotiations @re pending for a game with Syracuse for Thanksgiving day and prob- ably will be closed soon. Carlisle was consid- ered, buf rejected, as the Indians are too hefty for Dennie’s lightweights. Kentucky, Wabash and Vanderbilt are being considered for the November dates. Westminster College of Fulton, Mo... has arranged to play Washingten U. at Francis Wield next Oct. 25. The Blue Jays hope to make this an annual tilt with the Pikers.

At the Rex—Pfeiffer va. Wetner, three cushions. At Peterson’s—Hoellbrook wa Zueschell, pocket billiards.

Paul to St. Looey Thursday night, aft- ar a series of barnstorming appearances through the West and North, Pick- ings and Lute are now turning ambDitiously to the fight game as a means of ada- ing a figure or two on the left side of the decimal point in the bank account. Hence the “take-’em-all-on’”’ policy. McCarty’s visit is entailed by his con- tract with the St. Louis Athletic Club to appear at the Coliseum in an eight- found boxing contest with Youtig Al were Kaufman, Carty will also do a few cowboy stunts and will be the central figure of the motion pictures taken of his training camp prior to his fight with Al Palzer. at Los Angeles, when he clinched the title he had previously won from Jim Fiynn. Expects te Fight Soon. McCarty is still the overgrown boy he was when McCarney brought him up out of Springfield, where he had been “prepping” some months. He is more confident-locking and has a trifle more to say for himself~e facul- ty which is absolutely useless with his manager near. “Tt looks as though we will have te start fighting soon. The country doesn’t take to stage-etruck champions, and Luther doesn’t like his show business. He wants to be back at the fight game, and I think we'll gratify him as soon as the right kind of velvet against us. Just at present we are not barring anything, although: we would like to arrange a graduated series of bouts that would land us up against the best card as a climax. How About T.

would be closed shortly eight-round boxing bout bet Carl Morris of Sapulpa, OK., an Kingdon Belmont, alias Ed Mvroka, of Collinsville, Ill, to take place at the club’s arena about Feb. 12. Belmont ts the husky rolling mill heavyweight who recently spoiled the aspirations of Young Gua Ruh- lin, Harry Forbes’ hope, in less than one minute of battling. Belmont will concede’ 50 pounds in weight to Morris and many inches in height and reach.

in training and claims the title, Mo- Carty’s claim may be discredited. I think eventually we will have to fight the black titleholder in order to show just how good Luther is. “We're ready to take any of the others on, and Johnson too, to make our stand- ing plain to all.” Following his engagements here to- night, McCarty will continue hie exhi- bitions on the road until a match has been made for him. Luther is not re- ceiving any $2600 per week for his ap- pearances, but he’s been drawing down a meal ticket or two—something he was more or less dubious about back in the Springfield days. McCarney has a busy campaign mapped out for his champion protege Leaving here late Thursday evening, the pair will proceed to Columbus, O., and then jump to Pittsburg. They will hit Johnstown and Harrisburg next week and invade Philadelphia, where a big re- ception is planned, next Friday. While in Philly, MeCarney will talk with the theatrical folks and may book the champ for a spin around the Eastern vaudeville wheel.

Leach Cross Is Dentist Outpoints Shugrue, but

Too Tricky and Fast for Rival

Stallings Tactics May Cause Him Trouble, Some Day. By Robert Edgren. NEW YORK, Jan. }0.—One of these days, or nights, rather, when Leach Cross overplays his stalling act, some referee is going to do the right thing and send him to his corner on the as- sumption that he is too far gone te con- tinue. Billy Joh would have been justi- fied in doing this at the Garden last night, after Cross twice, in the second and fourth rounds, tried to give his op- ponent, Joe Shugrue, the impression that he was nearly gone. Cross doubtless figures; this as ring strategy, but ne referee could be blamed for taking a different view of the felgned groggi- ness. . Aside from these two inealdents, Cross fought creditably, and of his effective punching was en

Had he taken «a got to his feet, Cross probably have finished him with another Again in the tenth, Cros# right ly toppled Shugrue over, but 40 seconds to go the Jersey a rare fighting-back spirit, a rush that had Leach grue didn't suffer any by the fight he put u trary, he made a big the garden believing he draw, and others went as he had won.

66 HAT you tell me about the gentle art of photo play- W ing, the mysteries of mak- ing the movies, the: true romance of the Wild West as the mo- tion picture camera sees it in Los An- seles and Jacksonville and other out- posts of civilization, interests me great- ly,’ said Mr. Jarr. “Sure! Everybody is bugs about the movies!’ rejoined that elegant young man, Mr. Sidney Slavinsky, known wherever the Gory Scalp Brand of Motion Pictures is shown as “Sidney Slaven, the Badlands Broncho Buster.’’ “It was very interesting to me to hear that the fact you could roll a cigarette with your left hand made you an idol of the film fans,’’ Mr. Jarr went on. “You were paid well for it, your father says.” “Why shouldn't I get the cush, when I’m a Knockout on the screen?” “I’m glad you take such a commend- able pride in your profession,” said Mr. Jarr. “It's too bad you fell off your horse. I don’t see how that. could hap- pen, when, as you tell me, moving plc- ture cowboys are fastened to their sad- dles with iron rings in the seat of their leather trousers.’* “So they all are,” rejoined young Mr Slavinsky. -‘‘When you see them ad- justing their shooiing jewelry, as you think, in getting intu the saddle, they are really snapping the hook in the sad- dle seat to the ring in their cowboy trousers seat; but I got a. notion I could do some _ superb horsemanship without being fastened to the saddle, and as we were making a dash across the Badlands near Lindleumville, my horae shied at a parlor organ a guy was delivering. on a wheelbarrow, and I got trun. But that ain’t what I left the Gory Stalp Film Co. flat for.”’ “No, What was it?” asked Mr. Jarr. “It’s when they .got to running in

English actors in the movies, That got my goat,”” replied young Mr: Slavinsky, “Why, there's so many of those British

| ish actors in this country newadays that “Did you ever see them Indian pictures taken in France by Frenchmen? Well, they ain’t got noth- ing en how English actors play the noble red man, ‘“‘Some foreigfi actors are all right for Indians, because their gestures are sup- posed to be the sign language. You know—‘the Peace Sign,’ ‘the Thirst Sign,’ ‘the Friendly Indian Sign’—which is like the Thirst Sign only you repeat it a couple of times. ‘Well, we were putting on a three- reel feature of Western life. ‘A Noble Redman’s Resolve.’ And I was to play the lead, the noble chief that leads the white man who has befriended him to the gold mine in the desert, and then dies for his friend. It was the big part and I wanted to play it—when the film director runs in a big-nosed En- glishman—you've got to have a big nose to play Indians, and he’s rehearsed tn the part. And me, who made the repu-

| “Think of givin’ me a part that’s a piece of cheese like that! Well, I took it; but you’ bet I crabbed that film— and it cost a dollar a foot—three thou- sand feet—to take it!” “How'd you do it?’ asked Mr. Jarr. “Well,” said the revengeful moving picture actor, “I played down stage to Percival Poindexter, the English actor playing’ the Chief Iron Eagle up stage, and I got him to talking with his face to the camera. “Everybody lip-reads these days. And think of the laugh it will get when they see the Indian chief saying, ‘Cut your stick, you bloomin’ beggar, or I jolly well will scalp you with my tommyax!” “And then, too,” said young Mr. Sla- vinsky, grinning. ‘“‘Percy always creased his leather leggins carefully as he knelt down to invoke the Great Spirit! Walt till. you see the film and get a good laugh!’’
