Major declared to the Post-Dis- patch correspondent today that he feels certain the Legislature will adopt home rule measures for St. Louis. “My position on this question,” said the Governor, “‘has not changed a par- ticle. “I stand just where I did at the be- ginning of my campaign. The party plat- form is for home rule without any ‘ifs’ or ‘ands.’ ”’ ‘Would the passage of a home rule bill, subject to the approval of the voters of St. Louis, be legal?’ “It seems to me the only way that could be done would be through the referendum, and that would require a vote of all the people of the State upon the proposition. “Before the primary election I said in my speeches and in public interviews, both in St. Louis and other parts of the State, that I regarded home rule for the large cities as a fundamental Demo- cratic principle. Prefers Elective System. “My individual view was that the po- lice and excise boards should be non- partisan and the Commissioners elected by direct vote of the people. ‘In my message to the Legislature, however, I promised to sign any reason- able home rule measure and at no time have I taken a position against the ap- rointive system. “T have not attempted to sway the judgment of the Legislature on this or any other matter pending before it. There has been no intimation from me os to how the Legislature should act en this or that home rule bill and there will be none. ‘It is my earnest belief that the Dem- ocratic majority, in whom I have the most implicit faith, will carry out every pledge in the Democratic State platform.

Second Case of Jail Sentences Im- posed Under the Sherman Law. WASHINGTON, Feb. General Wickersham, when he heard the 17,—Attorney- sentences in the cash register case, de- Clared them eminently just from his knowledge of the evidence. It is the second case in which jail sen- ‘ences have been imposed under the Sherman law. The officials of the American Naval Stores Co., the *“‘Turpentine Trust,’’ were convicted in the Federal Court at At- lanta, Ga., and most of them escaped with fines, but Chairman Spencer P. Shotten and Vice-President .J. F. Cc. Myers were fined and sentenced to serve three months in the Chatham County jail. These sentences were upheld° by the United States Court of Appeals at Nov. 30, 1910, and in Jan- uary, 1911, an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States,jin January 91,362 yards, while 222,002 Which is still pending. cubic yards of fill were placed in dams. nr cate neem - Se ee.

By Associated Press. CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 17.—-J. Pierpont Morgan, who had been suffering from indigestion both before and since he left the United States, has much improved in condition since his return to this city Saturday from his trip up the Nile. LONDON, Feb. 17.—J. Pierpont Mor- gan has been taken suddenly and seri- ously ill at Cairo, Egypt, according to a dispatch from Rome to the Exchange Telegraph Co. The dispatch adds that Morgan today is being taken to Naples on board the steamship Caronia and is accompanied Andrew Drew in Mexico City to Report Situation for the. Post-Dispatch —— by two physicians and two nurses. The report has not been confirmed or even mentioned through any other news source. New York Hears Morgan Has Re- covered His Good Health. NEW YORK, Feb, 17.—From authori- tative sources it is learned that J. P. Morgan had an acute attack of indiges- tion three or four days ago, but it passed off and he is now in his usual health. He is leaving Alexandria today on the Caronia for Naples and is due in Naples Feb. 26. He expects then to take his usual journey up through Italy. J. P. Morgan & Co. also received a cablegram from Morgan. It was dated Cairo and said Morgan was in good spirits and probably would stay a fort- night. Reports of Morgan’s illness alarmed speculators in the New York stock mar- ket and when trading began stocks were unloaded in large amounts. Bull traders hastily closed out contracts and there was also heavy selling by the bears. Prices broke abruptly. In all the speculative leaders there were ‘‘wide openings.’’ The first trans- actions in steel amounted to more than 5000 shares at 62 to 60%, a maximum de- cline of 2 points. Sales of 1500 Union Pacific broke the price of that stock to 155, a two-point decline. Reading suf- fered a like loss. Aside from steel, the so-called ‘Morgan stocks were fairly steady. International Harvester and Erie were only (fractionally lower. Losses throughout the market ranged from four points in the case of Canadian of railroad and industrial stocks. The reassuring reports concerning Morgan's condition soon stemmed the tide of selling, and at the end of the first hour the market was steady and prices had reached a slightly higher level. Shortly before leaving America, the financier was subjected to an all-day inquisition by Attorney Samuel Unter- myer, counsel for the Money Trust In- vestigating Committee of the House of Representatives. Expected to Stay Until August. J. Pierpont Morgan sailed from New York Jan. 7, this year on board the steamship Adriatic. His ship soon after departing from the pier, went aground off Governor's Island and was refloated later without suffering any damage. Morgan arrived in Naples on Jan. 23 and visited the ruins of Pompeli. Jan. 24 he left Naples for Alexandria, Egypt, and arrived there Feb. 17 with the in- tention of visiting the fields of ancient relics being explored under the auspices of the Metropolitan Museum of New York. It was stated at the time of Morgan's Geparture by some of his intimate friends that he probably would not re- turn to the United States until August. No anxiety was felt in regard to the financier’s health when he left New York and no physician accompanied him on his voyage.

A Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 17.—When our train pulled into the Central Station here at 2 o’clock this morning we found apparently a peaceful city. ouly evidence of war was in a guard of soldiers at the gates. prepared for a city of noise and confusion. The captain of the guard bold us it was us as though the fight was over. safe to enter the city if we did not go through the firing zone. The We had been Instead a heavy silence greeted There were no vehicles of any kind on the streets and the majority of the passengers decided to remain in the station until Three of us who were anxious to get tc the cable which is across the street from the American Hotel here, hired a guile anl started on our mile walk through the city. Then our entertainment began. At the second corner a guard stopped us, examined us by the light of his lantern and, after a few words with our guide, let us by. I noticed the revolver in his hand was offices, cocked. Then the first shot broke the silence. It was the staccato whistle of a Mauser. Another and then a volley, @ silence of a few minutes, then more whistling and the boom of a shell. It reminded me more than anything else of early morn- ing on the Fourth of July. We had no idea where the bullets were coming from or boing or whether we were in the line of fire or not, but our guide put up a faster pace and at each street te would stop, peer around the corner, then make a dash for it. President Madero issued a ,procilama- tion later this mornfhg in which he ex- daybreak. plained why the armistice of Sunday vas broken. Under the armistice there was to be no fighting from 2 2'clock Sunday morning until 2 o’clock Monday morning. President Madero explained that Diaz mistice and planted a battery at Bal- deras and Victoria streets and that the ciscovery of this fact by the Federal soldiers led Diaz to begin the fighting avain, “‘contrary to the rules of all honorable warfare.”’ The armistice was broken at 2 p. m. Sunday and the firing continued until late Sunday night.

There arc indications, however, of developments of a character that may relieve the situation to a measurable degree. It is not possible to transmit details because of the close censorship. Fighting today was very heavy. The big caliber guns in the arsenal were almost constantly in use. The Federal artillery brought another big siege gun into action, but did not succeed in silencing the rebel fire. The engagement was very severe until this afternoon, when firing then dwindled and developed into an exchange of volleys of rifle bullets. The guns.

He declared that he was still able to dom- inate and. that, if given time, would _ erush the rebel forces. Gen. Diaz had not shown himself to in favor of the armistice, but consented to it, out of respect for the efforts of the American Ambas- sador and the ministers of the Powers * to bring about a cessation of hostili- ties until foreigners and noncombat- ants, still within the zone of the fight- could be removed to a position of comparative safety. Diaz regarded | | the truce as merely a delay in the ac- complishment of his fixed purpose to '@rive Madero out of the presidency. Armistice Is Opposed. Gen. Huerta, the commander of the . Government troops, also was opposed to “the armistice, and chafed under the _ terms which it imposed upon him. * President Madero’s attitude was one of . exasperation, but as he had requested the American Government to withhold '{ntervention, he could do no less than “consent to an armistice when the ques- tion was submitted directly to him. .

He says that he has it from those who come from Diaz that the rebels are desperately short of food and are killing and eating horses. Asked as tc Diaz’s proclamation that he was in possession of the states of Pueblo, Chihauhua, Oaxaca and other parts of the country, the President said: “None of that is true. Thare was an uprising Saturday, for instance, reported from Neuva Laredo, where the troops were said to have come out for Gen. Trevino. How important it was you may judge by the fact that I received a message from Trevino today, saying he knew nothing about it and was loyal to the Government. I am not deceiving myself; at least I do not believe I am. My vision is very clear and I see the situation as it actually is.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Mexico City was virtually cut off from the outside world up to noon today by the impo- With no direct news dispatches from there and only one official dispatch from Ambassador Wilson, which sim- rly said fighting had been resumed and that the armistice had been broken, President Taft and officials waited in suspense. _ . The first dispatches | filtered down from Mexico City to Vera Cruz and said hostilities were resumed. ‘ Madero telegraphed close friends in Washington today that he ‘expected @efinite results very soon.’’ Those dis- patches came through promptly. The Mexican Embassy declared that no dis- patches whatever had been received there and that it was depending upon press news for its information of the fighting in Mexico City. The army has gone as far as it can under present arrangements for a pos- sible troop movement to Mexico. The plan to send an expeditionary force from Galveston has been confronted with some difficulties in obtaining merchant: ships. The Quartermaster-General has an opportunity to get some cattle ships, but it would take a week to fit them out. It may be decided to send some of the transports at Newport News around to Galveston. Meanwhile, with the army practically marking time, and the navy standing by, officials waited in suspense today for news of the stirring events which are believed to be taking place behind the veil at Mexico City.

At the War Department officers who had marched to the relief of the lega- tions at Peking declared that even should all wire communication with Mexico City be lost, even stopping Am- would not be a cause for landing troops. It was pointed out that in such an event, the embassy would have to resort to the use of messengers and do_its best to get its dispatches overland to Vera Cruz or some other seaport where com- munication was available.

FATHER’S ASHES IN RIVER ‘Indianapolis Girl Puts Parents Remains. Through Hole in Ice. . INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 17.—Com- plying with the request of her father, A. W. Spinney, of this city, just before hig death, Miss Lucille Spinney, an ac- tress at a local theater, scattered her father’s ashes in the waters of White

River late yesterday. With a few friends Miss Spinney drove a short distance north of the city, chopped a hole in the ice, which she had strewn with flowers, and dropped into the water all that re- mained of her father. Miss Spinney said she realized that it was an unusual thing to do but that it was as her father had requested and she could not do otherwise.

CRASH AT MOST FATAL GROSSING Three Women and a Man Ser- iously Injured at the Tower Grove Danger Point. When a freight train crashed into @ Southampton street car Sunday evening at the Tower Grove crossing, Vande- venter and Tower Grove avenues, 4n- other entry was added io the long list of grade crossing accidents in St. Louis. Four persons were injured and several others had narrow escapes. This is considered the most dangerous crossing in the city. A southbound car had stopped at 6:4 p. m. to*let a Frisco passenger train pass. The street car conductor, Charles Burns, ran ahead of his car and sig- naled the motorman to corhe ahead, that the way was clear. The gates at the crossing had been raised by the watch- man. The car had almost cleared the tracks when a switch engine pulling five cars backed around a curve and crashed into the rear vestibule. The impact dgmol- ished the vestibule and broke many of the windows in the car. Two Women Are Hurt. Miss Ella Peterson, 1503 Hunt avenue. standing on the rear platform, was thrown to the floor and broken glass fell upon her. An iron barywas_ torn loose and struck her on the right shoul- Ger. Her hands and face were cut by glass and her shoulder was sprained. She had boarded the car just befvre it started to cross the crossing. Ihe con- ductor had locked the door when he got off to fiag at the crossing and Miss Peterson could not enter the car Mrs. Lillian Vaucher of 1575 South Vandeventer avenue was sitting on a rear side seat, holding her 6-months-old daughter. She was thrown across the car and into the conductor’s cage, striking an iron rail as she feil and was knocked unconscious. The child Was hurled across the car and fell on the floor. It was uninjured. Mrs. VYVaucher was cut on the head and her

shoulder and spine were injured. 70 Killed at Crossings. Mrs. Nettie Story, 3100 Rutger street. was injured in the right hip and right thigh. John Garcia, 19 years old, of 3025 Putger street, was severely bruised and & his right wrist was sprained. About 2 others were slightly bruised. Severa! women were knocked down and tram- pled in the scramble to reach the front and rear doors, both of which were locked. Seventy persons have been killed in grade crossing accidents in St. Louis in the last five years. A movement to sep- arate the grades and eliminate the dan- ger points was inaugurated = several years ago, but attempted legislation hithertg has been unsuccessful.

1. The Municipal Assembly passed ordi- hantés some tifie avo @frecting the ratl- roads to depress their tracks at the Tower Grove station, but the Missouri Supreme Court recently held that the ordinances were too rigid and upheld the aefense of the railroads that the plan | suggested was too expensive. Conference of Officials. : | : A conference Monday was scheduled between the Board of Public Improve- ments and engineers for the Frisco and Missouri Pacific railroads to discuss pro- : posed plans for eliminating the Tower Grove surface crossing. Ordinances pro- viding for the separation of the grades at eight crossings on the Wabash Rall- road along the northern boundary of Forest Park have been prepared by the Board of Public Improvements for sub- mission this week to the Municipal As- sembly. Much of the delay has been caused by the refusal of members of the House of Delegates and City Council to approve the payment of consequential dam- ages at grade crossings by the city in consideration of the immediate separa- tion of the grades by the railroads. The railroads have insisted that the city should pay the consequential damages,

e is caused by the aclion of Light. This is the deliberate opinion of no less an Cement Maker Is First Demo- authority than Philip Dreesbach, German expert and scientist in the Wahl- Henius Insti- tute of Fermentology. He says: *‘Beer acted upon by light soon takes up the very disagreeable, so-called ‘light taste,’ and also a repulsive skunk-like odor. Beer so affected is offensive to the palate of most consumers, and there is probably nothing that will influence them more against any brand of bottled beer than to have once tasted beer possess- ing this ‘light taste’ to a marked degree. The presence of this defect, however, is not always the bottler’s fault, as the con- sumer himself very often lets the beer stand in the light. But the consequences must usually be borne by the bottler.” Schlitz is sold in Brown Bottles to protect its purity Democratic candidates for Congress to from the brewery to your glass.

OVER LIGHT BIDS Webster Official Asked to Show Cause Why Western Contract Was Rejected.

_ -s All records of piano selling surpassed The success of this co-operative — Sale has been almost electrifying — Copyright, 1912, by Stone & HE suecess of this sale was foretold’the day it opened. It started out a suecess—and hae kept:it up ever since. The store has been as busy as a department store, where thousands of things are sold instead of a few. Up to this writing we have sold and delivered just sixty-seven instruments more than the largest estimate put upon the probable sales for the given time—which means—that the sale will close from a week to two weeks earlier than we had ex- pected. Remember—when three hundred pianos and one hundred player-pianos have been sold— ! the sale ends. Not another one of these instruments will be sold at these prices, upon these terms, or upon this plan... So come NOW. Success due wholly to this mutual plan * Co-operation and concentration did it. The plan has done it all. You got a good, durable piano, worth three hundred and fifty dollars of any body’s money, for two hundred and forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents. This was a saving of one hundred and one dollars and twenty-five cents —to begin with. You paid five dollars when you selected your piano, leav- ing two hundred and forty-three dollars and seventy-five cents to be paid. To pay this balance you were allowed one hundred and ninety-five weeks time. This made the pay- ments amount to only one dollar and twénty-five cents a week. You could take full time—one hundred and ninety- five weeks—or not, just as you wished. If you paid in shorter time, you earned and were paid a cash dividend of fifteen cents a week. After the balance of two hundred and forty-three dollars and seventy-five cents was paid, there was then no furth- er interest or payments of any kind to be met. You could get your money back after a thirty days’ trial, if you wished, If you kept the piano you could exchange it with- out loss at any time up to within one year from the day you bought it. And all un- paid payments were voluntarily canceled in the event of your death while you were still paying for the instrument. Besides this you get the protection of a joint guarantee, signed by both the manufacturers and ourselves, protecting you absolutely for five years. What .more could have been given? What more wished? Could, you have suggested: any further privileges or conditions that would have been of advantage to you? Conroy Piano Co. 1100 Olive St. East St. Louis Store, 346 Collinsville AV.

A writ of mandamus was issued Mon- day by Judge McEthinney of Clayton in- structing Mayor W. F. Biederman wet the Board of Aldermen of Webster Groves to come into court and show | cause why they do not award a con- | tract for electric street and commercial! =e to the Western Power and Light Oo. The writ also is directed against the Electric Construction and Maintenance Co., directing the company to show by what authority it claims the contract for installing an electric lighting system in_ Webster Groves. An injunction was issued Saturday by Judge McElhinney at the request of David I. Zukers of Webster Groves, en- joining the city officials from entering into a contract with the Electric Con- struction and Maintenance Co. for the street and commercial lighting of that place. Agreed to Pay Share to City. The lighting controversy dates back several weeks to the time when bids were advertised for for lighting Webster Groves streets and business houses. One of the specifications of the bids, accord- ing to Zukers, was that at least 1 per cent of the gross receipts of the com- pany from commercial lighting should be paid to the city in consideration of the franchise. The Western company filed its bid con- taining a clause binding it to pay 1% per cent of its receipts to the city. The Electric Construction and Maintenance Co. offered to furnish the street lights at $383 a year less than the Western company, but failed to agree to pay any of its receipts to the city, it is alleged. Kinstein’s Company Wins. The Board of Aldermen gave the con- tract to the Electric Construction Co. Several citizens demanded the contrac: te let to the Western company, because of the revenue it would bring to the city. A. C. Einstein, president of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. of St Louis, is president of the Electric Con- struction and Maintenance Co., but is personally not named in the mandamus | vr injunction suits. F. R. Mott, for- merly of St. Louis, is president of the Western company. Einstein told a Post-Dispatch reporte: Monday the claims of the rival com- pany are frivolous. He said nearly all the residents of Webster Groves are sat- isfied with awarding the contract to his company. , “The Western company was trving to put something over, but they fell down,”’ Finstein declared. “Their bid on the various lights required -were inconsistent and were too -high.’’ He said the bid of his company in- cludes the 1 per cent clause contained in the specifications, although it was not mentioned specifically.

An arrangement will be made with each purchaser whereby new player rolls can be procured at a cost of only five cents a roll. These player-planos are standard 88 note players: that is, they play every note on the plano when the music roll is in motion. These player-pianos have an automatic shifter, which compels the music to. play perfectly.

— —— —_ GRADE CROSSING ABOLITION. A collisfon between a Southampton street car and a switch engine at Tower Grove crossing’ ushers in a week of important possibilities in grade separation. A conference on this very Tow- er Grove crossing is to be held by the Board of ‘Public Improvements and Missouri Pacific and Frisco representatives. The agreement already reached as to the separation of Terminal tracks at Union avenue is to be brought forward for ap- proval in the Municipal Assembly. Negotiations between city officials and the Wabash receivers as to eight dangerous crossings north of Forest Park are expected to reach their final stage. That distressing object lesson given Sunday evening, when a score of persons werd placed in jeopardy at a grade crossing, should be kept in mind at these several conferences, Few such ac- cidents pass without a list of dead as well as a list ef injured. The public demands grade sepa- ration results. ——- — i ie

Jefferson City officials who are turning to rural banks in financing State activities and jyear prior to Feb. 25, 1913.” The wisdom of President Taft’s course resisting the pressure for intervention in Mexico is demonstrated. The situation in Mexico City has been well handled by the foreign ministers and has greatly improved. Provision has been made for the safety of foreigners and there is good reason to expect that the war between the Madero and Diaz forces will be settled with a minimum of danger to foreign residents. Consider- ing the nature of the struggle in the center of the city, foreign residents have suffered remarkably little injury and loss of life. If Mr. Taft shall succeed in tiding over the crisis without involving the United States with responsibility for the restoration of order and the setting up of efficient government in Mexico, he will earn the lasting gratitude of Americans. He will save his country from an arduous task and a bitter experience. He will save Lis country from incalculable loss in lives and money and from aywaging fever of jingoism, the results of which cannot be foreseen. He will crown his official record with an achievement of fine, strong statesmanship. In his wise “hands-off” policy, Mr. Taft has the support of all sincere American patriots. a A — SS Half of the suffrage army from New York has survived as far as Philadelphia. If the opposi- tion would only melt as fast as the army what a walkover it would be. CASTRO’S EXCLUSION ILLEGAL. As interpreted in the Castro case, the immigra- tion law was made to take on a resemblance to the old alien and sedition laws. Fears that we had suddenly been put back a century or so are dissipated by the court decision declaring that the departmental rulings are illegal and that Castro is entitled to admission to the country. No inter- est is sacrificed in the decision. It means that persons cannot be excluded by official caprice, on such a showing as that made against the former Venezuelan dictator. In the event of misbehavior on his part during the next three years he can be excluded without violence to the law. This decision and Mr. Taft’s veto of the illiter- acy test preserves a historic American policy as to persons seeking an asylum in this country.

An Unrecognized Claim. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why is it that the waterworks employes re- eeive two-thirds the wages paid to policemen and firemen? The salary of the latter are con- tinually boosted, but the former never get a mention. There has been no increase in the pay of the men under consideration for 15 years or more. Many of those there have given the best years of their lives to the city, and advancing age and Increased expense of living attracts no attention whatever. In private life, employers never act thus; they increase wages as skill and ability command. If a man who has worked 15 years at a job is not worth $80 to $100 a month, he should be discharged or retired on @ pension. Every time a policeman’s wife expends $3, her sister, whose husband works in the other depart- ment, can but expend but $2- One may ask in all fairness, is this right? .The family of the one is entitled to the same consideration as the other. Living expense for the one has increased as for the other, yet the claim stands unrecognized. Much of the work is done at night, which tells rapidly on the physical makeup; this also should be taken into account. The city has grown rapidly since the standardl of wages was set up and it fis able to meet the advance more than the waterworks monthly workers. Let us hear from the public in order to see what should be done. JAMES WEEKS. Ash Hauling. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your statement of ash hauling expense I netice the city is paying 80 cents per load to the poor United Railways Co. for hauling ashes, and the city pays more for hauling ashes than the individuals did when each person paid for hauling his own. The reason is very apparent; the ash haulers didn’t pay 80 cents per load for dumping as the United Railways Co. was not at that time permitted to haul freight of any sort through our streets. It is only since the Street Commis- sioner has changed the law that this is permitted and the result ‘is a continual cloud of dust on Easton avenue from morning until night. I would like to have someone tell me why the United Railways Co. is permitted to haul ashes and also why they should be paid such an enor- mous price for so doing? EASTON PASSENGER. Horses in Sleety Weather. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to know if there isn’t a law to compel owners of horses to have them rough-shod during the winter months, especialy when the streets are in a slippery condition? It certainly is a pitiful sight to see the poor creatures slipping and falling every day. I witnessed a heavily loaded wagon by the Union Market the other day which the horses were unable to pull, as they cculd get no foothold, not being rough-shod. I spoke to the policeman who was also witnessing it and asked him about this law and enforcing it, etc., but was treated with utmost indifference in regard to the matter. MRS. WHITECLIP.

That Hodiamont line subway sounds good to me. All that would be needed would be to excavate an open cut wide enough for four tracks, two for local and two for express trains, bridge the streets so as to not interfere with the traffic and run your cars 25 to 30 miles an hour. Of course the United Railways Co. will object, tut as their franchises are now beginning to ex- pire we will soon have them suing for peace. You are bringing them to time with your 8. F.

‘The: joke that everybody sees, We might explain, is onty that Hiven the sardine will turn, like the worm, and we perceive the sardine turning in many cities against the cruel tyranny that unduly crowds him. In Philadelphia, for example, the condi- tions of street railway service are so much like our own that we moved sympathetically by the Quaker publie’s woes. ' The Philadelphia sardine ts being jammed and packed into the cubic space of cars in order to pay returns to people who never invested any money. The Philadelphia transit stock is two- thirds water, and. it is made to pay 6 per cent dividends. This is how the Philadelphia Even- ing Times explains the distressing situation: All of the surface street car tracks and rolling stock and franchises in this city were at one time owned by the Union Traction Co.- The capital stock of this company was $30,- 000,000. It was divided into shares of $50 each. Only $10,500,000 of this stock was ever actually paid in. That is, the holder of each ' stock certificate with a face value of $50 paid only $17.50 on that certificate. When the P. R. T. took over the stock and property of the Union Traction’ Co. it guar- anteed to pay the holders of the Union Trac-” _tion stock 6 per cent on the face value of their stock. By this agreement each stockholder is be- ing paid 6 per cent dividends on the $17.50 he actually tnvyeeted and also on the $32.50 he never invest In the egaregate this means that 6 pe: cent dividends are being paid on $10,500,000 that was really invested and also on $19,- 600,000 that was never invested. This latter represents “water.” Six per cent on $19,500,000 is $1,170,000. That is the amourt of robbery that is prac- ticed on the straphangers of Philadelphia ev- ery year. It takes 20 nickels to make a dollar. It takes 23,400,000 nickels to make $1,170,000, which is what is being taken from the strap- hangers of Philadelphia every year and given to the holders of the Union Traction stock for money they never invested. . St. Louis will read this story understandingly. Cur United Railways boasts that it has never paid a dividend on its common stock, but its common stock by no means represents all of its water, It has an authorized issue of $42,000,000 first mortgage bonds, and $20,000,000 of 5 per cent cumulative preferred stock. On the latter it paid dividends for ten years. In 1911 it paid $2,740,306 interest on its outstanding bonds and other obligations. :* a ER ome “5 dustries has that town but to sell to the Govern- ment at exorbitant prices real estate of little value but for the presence of the Government and to vend entertainment to the transient public, which includes officeholders of ephemerai tenure?

If carried into effect, there would be a perfectly irresistible de- mand from the country that Washington shall have both the conventions in 1916. hi hi ti —

Moore of-the Weather Bureau. ‘A “center of highest pressure” is the important factor in causation, he tells us. Five such centers, and only five, exist in the world, but the one that has brought despair to the coal man and reduced the sale of woollens to a sad and unremunerative minimum is found in the North Atlantic. Its po- sition north from the equator is fairly constant in latitude 32, but its distance from the American coast shifts. The winds that sweep around this center of pressure when it is in the latitude of the Azores complete their course without touching land to the West. When, however, its latitude is near that of Bermuda, its winds blow over a large section of the country, carrying warmth and heai- ing off cold air currents from the north. That ig the longitude in which the capricious o!d center is doing busines this year, and, consequently, while they are shivering west of the Rockies and north of the Canadian line, the United States east of the Rockies has become almost a continental Ha- wali. Mr. Moore's failure to tell why this beneficent center is not always in the Bermuda longitude is suspicious. That jit is due to Weather Bureau neglect and that he has something to conceal is obvious. The duty of seeing that it stays exactly where it is at present. and that it is not per- mitted to shuttle back and forth on parallel 32 in this whimsical and disappointing manner is re- served to the promising new administration.

People, be fa)r, and square with your motorman and conductor. Help them make good service. J. H. TURNER. Clark, Mo. A Sensible Pinhead. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the issue of Feb, 11 there was published in this column a letter dated at Chicago and signed by R. E. Harley, wherein he stated that, while sojourning in this city for “two days” he “noted with great surprise and amusement, the contro- versy now going on in the Post-Dispatch betweena bunch of ‘pinheads’.and the local street railway company.” He calls attention to the fact that, were an ordinance enacted compelling the street rail- Way company to provide a seat for each pas- senger and allow no one to board the car while no seat is vacant, there would be a multitude of people left standing on corners all along the route and they (the multitudes, otherwise known as pinheads) would be the first to rebel against it. This is very true; but Mr. Harley miscon- strues the intentions of the S. F. BE. Pp. League. It is simply endeavoring to have the railway com- pany operate a sufficient number of cars to handle the crowds in a more expeditious and safe man- ner. Mr. Harley intimates that, {f the number of cars now in operation were increased to any great extent, it would only be an impediment to traffic, and that where it now takes 30 minutes to traverse a certain distance {t would therefore take 130 minutes to cover the same stretch. It is a well-known fact that a great many more cars could not be operated with any sort of dispatch or on anything like the regular sched- ules. However, 8t.

ee 4 Which everyone can undérstand For having often wondered at. SUGGESTION. As soon as the Americans have escaped from Mexico, it may be possible for us to bring about peace in that troubled country with no more than making a bluff at war. It is generally believed that the mo- ment we crossed the Rio Grande the Mexicans would cease quarreling among themselves and get together against the common enemy. If they really would do this, we might go in far enough to bring about this desired result, and then get out. This may not appeal to the boards of strategy which direct our military and naval maneuvers, but we can't help fancyinhg it as a rather nimble idea. It would put the Mexicans in the light of having nothing to fight about among themselves, and after that practical ad- mission they would scarcely resume. Moreover, no one would get shot, a cir- cumstance sincerely to be desired.

humor, especially by the urban popula- tion. If the peasants and the bour- reoisie did not take it quite cheerfully, at least they resigned themselves to it as an unavoldable evil, necessitated by the armaments of neighboring countries. It may be positively stated that the principal cause of anti-militarism in France is the action of the bourgeois republican government in abusing the military power against strikers. A number of ferocious sentences in- flicted by courts-martial for trifling of- fenses, gross miscarriages of military justice, such as the condemnation of Capt. Dreyfus, certain atrocities per- petrated by tyrants in military ©or'sons, and certain outrages committed by troops in the colonies—all these com- r:eted the work ef destroying the mili- tarist cult among the people. ih Worship in Kentucky.

And did the conversation come to a stop because they preferred to sit in silent sympathy and communion or because they had nothing interesting to talk about? Stuart doubted if silence was the truest expression of the most perfect confidence and sympathy. He generally found when he was inter- ested, that either he or his companion talked all the time. It was when he was bored that he sat silent. But it was probably different with married people. Possibly they thought of each other during these pauses, and of their own affairs and interests, and then he asked himself how many interests could one fairly retain with which the other had nothing to do? “I guppose,”’ thought Stuart, “that I had better compromise and read aloud. Should you like me to read aloud?” he asked, doubtfully. The Picture brightened perceptibly at this, and said she thought that would be charming. “We might make it quite instructive,’’ she suggested, en- tering eagerly into the idea. ‘‘We ought to agree to reaa s0 many pages every night. Suppose we begin with Guizot’s ‘History of France.” I have always meant to read that, the illustrations look we might do that,” assented “Tt is in six vol- Yes,

THORPE TO JOIN PARTY Famous Indian Athlete Will Leave With Team for Marlin Springs Tonight. By W. J. O’Connor. ‘Pursuant to his pennant-winning pol- icy of getting an early start, John J. McGraw, the craftiest commander of them all, will be in St. Louis Monday on his way to Marlin Springs, Tex., where the McGraw school of instruction soon will be located. The National League season will begin 52 days hence. The Cardinals, who must ring up against the Browns on March 29, will not start for training quarters until March 3, just two weeks later than the Giants. The Cubs, however, will get an equal start with the National League champions, Eyers contending that an eatly get-away is essential to a club’s success in the spring campaign. It is interesting to note that Hug- gins, a debutante manager, - disagrees with such men as McGraw and Evers on the methods of training a ball club. It was generally allowed last year that the Giants won the pennant chiefly be- cause they got a flying start. They went into first place on May 11 last season and never relinquished their lofty position after that date. When the team blew a tire, McGraw had his men 80 far out in front that a slight slump did not ruin their chances for the title. Will Try, Try Again. Little Napoleon aims to repeat this trick for the coming campaign. And that’s why he’s now on his way to the Marlin Springs camp. However, McGraw anticipates few changes in his pennant- | winning club. His efforts to land Vin Campbell, the local boy, who did s0 well for the Boston Braves last season, may mean that he’s dissatisfied with his gon will be with his pitchers. He has no jess than seven young curvists to try out, while he has no new infielders or outfielders of any consequence. Of course, the renowned Jim Thorpe may prove a winner for the Giants. In that case, the aborigine may be used in the outfield. It’s a safe bet, too, that Thorpe will eventually make good for MoGraw. An athlete with the native ability of Thorpe hardly could miss making good for a manager who made Meyers. | ‘ | ” ane greta e Tt the Glee squad report- éay. making the local delegation include: Doyle, Fletcher, Wilson, Wiltse, Ames, Groh, Kirby and McCor- + is | i | | | it Up In spite of the outcome of the two previ- that he can trim the visitors here.

AST season John McGraw virtually won the flag, owing to the fact that, with the exception of Cincinnati, his was the only National League team that Against six slow-moving teams, the Reds and Giants worked feverishly from the jump and lost the rest of the field.

However, it may have been noticed that the Giants were rapidly going to pleces at the close of last season, showing that. the long grind, due to the early start, was wearing the team out. Strong compe- tition might have broken up the club completely. As it was, the wretched playing of the men during the world’s series is history. It is ascribed by many to the unusually long period dur- ing which the men were geared up to pennant condition. But for the phenomenal success of two pitchers, Tesreau and Marquard, jthe latter breaking a world’s record in hia early work, the Giants could not have won the pennant. From Feb. 15 to October, practically eight months, is too long for athletes to be kept on edge. They grow stale, nervous and wanting in “pep’ and vigor. The teams which take it easy tr the start seem to have a good chance to come with a rush at the close.

Yet John is the world’s title holder at a form of billiards that has more players than any other variety of the tillard game—three cushions. More cham- Pionships at this form of game, too, have been played in recent years than at the balk- line game. There must be something wrong with the thinking apparatus of men who think Albert Cutler is worth $1400 a year, while Horgan is not worth a dime. s . a TRY AN EYE-OPENER AFTER. WARDS, A PUGILISTIC writer remarks ‘hat Pierce Mathews is such an im- proved boxer he will probably open his next opponent’s eyes. The usual pro- cedure in pugilism would be to close them. . a * HALF A LOAF NOT ENOUGH. HE six-day bikers have gone, leaving @& gaping wound in the bank roll of the promoter who brought the game to St. Louls. The latter hung a curse on the town and departed vowing he never would make another attempt to uplift this com- munity out of its sodden benightedness, in which it is unwilling to accept bush league entertainment for the major league article. The trouble with Eastern amusement pro- moters of all descriptions is they think that a few crumbs from a New York feast will serve the West as a banquet—an idea that has caused more than one angel to go back East, damning the provincialism of the West. Those who stage the real article in this city seldom go away muttering. And as for coming back annually with that bike show, the visiting promoters are conferring a favor on the city by foisting it on some other communities. When they come back with the rea] thing and all the trimmings perhaps we may sit up and take notice. ———_____.. TIPS AND CUES. Tonight's Schedule.

OUTSIDE oT, LEDS, SUGGER CHAMPIONS, Quil Failure to Obtain Dates With Eastern or Chicago Clubs the Cause. The St. Leos have egone into retire- ment for the current season so far as playing as a team is concerned, ac- cording to former Manager Will Klos- terman. They will not play any inde- pendent games here or make an East- ern or Canadian jaunt. ‘‘We had first opportunity to make the Eastern trip that is to be under- taken by the local league leaders,’’ said Klosterman to the Post-Dispatch, ‘‘but because some of the players were un- able to get away from their business we decided to decline the invitation to go East. “The St. Louls League crossed us by booking the Pullmans of Chicago for next Saturday and Sunday. We had no sooner made the announcement that we were dickering for a series with the Chicago team than the Athletic Park bunch jumped in and seized the games. They had to offer an awfully large guarantee and it is very likely that they’ll lose a lot of money.’ Eight Men Start Game. ‘When the O’Briens and Ben Millers toed the scratch for the opening game at Pas- time Park Sunday, only eight players of one side were present. That made no dif- ference, however, and the matinee was start- ed. Later a ninth man straggled on the field and jumped into the game. The tenth man played also, after he made a canvass of friends in the grand stand and succeed- ed in borrowing a pair of football shoes. Then the O’Briens won from the Millers, 4—0, practically cinching the pennant in the league race. The Dempseys and Yawitz team played a 2—2 draw. The Innisfails Jumped to the lead in the Athletic Park League by defeating the Co- lumbus Club, 2-—1. The Knights had held the advantage up to the last few minutes of play, when Foley’s aggregation rushed the contest and banged through two goals, just enough to win. McCaffery and Easton were responsible for the shots. The Business Men won the opener from the Compton HIlls, 2—0, Amateurs Pinay Two Draws. Two 0—) draw games were plaved by the teams of the Sunday Amateur League on the c. B. C. campus, Sunday. The Rock Church and Cc. B.

Collins, in addition to injuring the muscles of his neck, was so thoroughly exhausted that he was unable to return to the mat for a continuation of the ‘limatch, and Referee Mike Christ de- clared Wasem the winner. The fall was gained with an arm bar- lock and head scissors hold. With Wasem’s legs tightly cutched about his neck, Collins waved his hand in the air to indicate that he was down, but it was several seconds afterwards when the referee tapped Wasem on the back and awarded the fall. In the meantime, the St. Louls wrestler had been applying the pressure, and when he finally let go at command of the referee and stood up, Collins lay helpless on the mat. was assisted to his feet and as he start- ed to leave the ring sank to the floor in a semi-conscious condition. He was given immediate treatment by Dr. E. A. Shay, the club’s physician, and in 10 minutes had sufficiently recovered to retire to his dressing room, but, on the doctor’s advice, did not attempt to re- turn to the mat. : Wasem Previously Injured Gotch. Four weeks ago Collins and Wasem wrestled before the same club for 5 minutes and at the end of that time Collins was forced to retire, after hav- ing suffered a torn ligament of the left knee, as the result of a toe hold from which he could not free himself. It was noticeable in yesterday’s match that Collins protected this knee with particular care whenever Wasem tried for a hold on the member and at times \the Chicago grappler was made to wince Riders in ITH a great burst of speed + loyd W Krebs, who, with Willie Coburn of St. Louls, represented the Ger- man-American team in the six-day bi- cycle race at the Coliseum, flashed acress the mark a winner when the race came to an end Sunday night at 10:30 o'clock. At this hour there were only three teams in the race that had not been lapped, and of these three the nominees to ride it out in the final sprint of one mile were: Floyd Krebs of Germany, teammate of Willie Coburn of the Ger- man-American team; George Cameron of New York City, riding with Alvin Lof- tes of the Knickerbocker team; and Wal- ter de Mara of San Francisco, paired with Bob Diefenbacher of the Native Sons team. When the three racers were called to the mark and the pisto! fired for the start the riders jockeyed for position and @s8 a result the first six laps were ridden in very alow time, with De Mara leading, Krebs second and Cameron third. Krebs Sets Fast Pace. At the half mile Krebs, astride of a ma- chine geared at 14, jumped out in front and eet a terrific pace. He was followed closely by Cameron, with De Mara in third place. There were the ‘relative positions for four laps and then De Mara took second place from Cameron on the eleventh lap, with Krebs etill out in front. Cameron came very fast on the last lap and regained sec- ond place, but wes unable to overtake Krebs, who finished the sensational sprint a half wheel in front, Cameron second and De Mara third, very close up. Time, 3m. 18s. This is very slow time, but is accounted for by the men loafing the first half mile. The Austraiian-American and the Jersey teams having lost one lap each in the race, were called on the track to sprint a mile Six-. ay Bike Windup never headed. winning the mile sprint in 8m, 4s. Krebs Has Great Record. Krebs, the winner of the big race, has tied for first place six times in six-day races in which he has competed, and has won out In the final sprint five times, los- ing once when he was thrown from his wheel. The final day of the six-day bicycle grind was attended by a larger crowd than had been present on any previous day. and it witnessed some things that were not esched- uled on the original program and required the agsistance of police officers to straight- en. This side play was furnished by Cava- naugh of the Irish team and Hehir of the Australan-American team, following a fall sustained by Cavanaugh, and for which He- hir was to blame. At 3:15 o’clock Cavanaugh started a sprint in an effort to gain a lap, and was a half lap in front when he was relieved by his partner, ‘‘Grassy’’ Ryan, who continued the fast clip long enough for Cavanaugh to get his breath. and the big Irishman took the track again. In the "*jam’’ that took place Hehir crowded Cavanaugh high on the bank at the south end of the track, and he had a narrow escape from going over, but the big fellow sprinted out of danger and took the lead. closely followed by Hehir. As they rounded the turn at the north end of the track it looked as if Hehir deliberately eut across the track in front of Cavanaugh. throwing the latter from his wheer. When Cavanaugh had been unstrapped from hie pedals by attendants who fan to his assistance, he rushed to his tent and se- cured a light hammer, but he was imme- diately disarmed by Referee Nat Butler. Then Cavanaugh seized a large bicycle pum). but by thie time police officers rushed on the track. nabbed the frantic Irishman and took away tne pump. a Hehir was fined 625 by Referee Butler as for cutting off and score at the end of the six-day race was as follows: Krebe- W He | j i i By Harry S. Sharpe. A L WASEM of this city won his wrestlin match with Nick Collins, known as “Young Gotch” of Chicago, yessterday afternoon at the Columbian Ath- letic Club, when he secured the first fall in 2h. and 6m. with pain, showing that he had not en- tirely recovered from the injury. The men are evenly matched in skill, but yesterday Wasem was nimble as a cat, fast and very aggressive, while Col- lins seemed to be the stronger and was very deliberate in his work. The Chi- cago man’s defensive work was par- ticularly good, and many times he es- caped from holds that seemed destined te land him on his back. A pleasing feature of the match was that neither wrestler resorted to any unsportsmanlike tactics. The contest was rough, of course—all good wrestling matches are—but th re was none of the gouging and slugging that so often characterizes the grapplers’ game. Toe Hold Barred. With the toe and strangle holds barred, the match was resolved into a clever ex- hibition of scientific wrestling, and the oniv punishing ho'd trie¢ for was the hammer- lock, ani Waser tried hard for this, but Collins was too clever to be caught. After wrestling for 2 hours, and 5 min- utes, during which time there was scarcely an idle moment, Wasem suddenly shifted from a halfnelson and, as Collinge flattened to the mat, Wasem swung his body around and clamped his legs about the Chicazo wrestler’s head, at the same time catching an extended arm and forcing Collins’ shoul- ders to the mat. Wasem weighed 137% pounds and Collins 139%. In the preliminary to the big match, Gus Eisel of the Blue Ridge Athletic Club and Raymond Perry of the Central Y. M. C. A. wrestled two 10-minute bouts without either securing a fall, and the match was declared a draw, though on points Elsel had the oetter of it. pa PINKO- LAXIN A Fleasant and Harmless Remedy for CONSTIPATION and LIVER DISORDERS Positively no griping or bad after effects.
