“IN-VICE INQUIRY ‘GIVES PAY RAISE! . ” Chicago Department Store Own- er, After Testimony, Makes Girls’ Minimum Wage $4. FRANK ONE EMPLOYER

Edward Hillman, Head of Great Store, Tells How He Began at Pay of $2 a Week. By Associateq Press. _ CHICAGO, March 8.—The work of the Illinois Senate Vice Commission bore fruit today when a letter was received by Chairman Barrett O'Hara from E. F. Mendel, ‘president of Mandel Broth- ers, who was a witness yesterday, stat- ing that he had raised the minimum wage of juveniles to $. The juveniles are girls between the ages of 13 and 15 years who were employed on small errands. ‘Wherever possible, by reason of the aptness of general fitness of the girl, the wage will be more than $4. In addiGon Mandel stated, that fol- lowing a suggestion of the Commission, he will employ an investigator to look into the statements made by applicants to ascertain if they can live on the wages they receive. . EGward Hillman of Hiilman's depart- ment store, was a jovial and frank ‘Witness today who greeted the propo- sition of an investigator with enthusi- * asm and promised to hire one or more at once. Chairman O'Hara expressed gratifica- tion at the attitude of the employers. “We asked for their co-operation be- cause we felt that they, as public- spirited citizens, are as muéh inter- ested in correcting social evils as we are,”’ said O'Hara. Hillman an Enlightening Witness, When Hillman took the stand he said he thought that there was in some cases a connection between low wages and immorality among women. “Do you think that a woman would sd@il herself before she would starve?’ asked Lieutenant-Governor O'Hara, Chairman of the Commission. “Yes, I do,’’ came the prompt answer, the first of the kind from employers thus far heard, “Thank you,” said O’Hara, apparent- | ly surprised at the admission. : _ Hillman eaid that 817 girle and women are employed at his store, Of these 46 girls receive $5; . twenty-four get $4; twenty-three earn $3.50 and six $3. These last are errand girls and mostly are brought in by their parents who want them to learn the business so they may advance to -higher wanneses, he said. “Tf one of your $3 girls entered evil paths would it hurt your conscience?" asked O'Hara. “Yes, certainly.‘ eight | in rewards froin Uncle Ba pg a. mer Police Chief of St. Joseph re- duced catching of deserters to a science and a profitable business. | Next Sunday Post-Dispatch

WIFE LIES SELF TQ PRISON, SAVES HUSBAND'S LFE Chorus Girl Declares, After Sen- tence, She Does Not Regret Murder Penalty. JURY TO ASK CLEMENCY Couple Were Charged With Murder of Friend Who; Was Found Dead in Their Rooms. CHICAGO, March 8.—After being out 17 hours, a jury in Judge Kersten’s court today returned a verdict finding both Charles Cramer and his wife guilty of the murder of Miss Sophia Singer of Baltimore. Cramer’s punishment was fixed at life imprisonment, while his wife was given 14 years in the penitentiary. The jury recommended that clemency be shown to Mrs. Cramer. The convicted couple appeared on the verge of collapse when the verdict was read. A motion for a new trial was entered and the Cramers were taken back to their cells. «Cramer, walking on crutches, had to be assisted by a deptuy sheriff. The verdict apparently affected him more than it did his wife. The latter bore it bravely and attempted to reassure her husband. It fe said thal fve of the jurors voted on the first lot to send Cramer to the gallows, but after lengthy argument compromised on life imprisonment. “I love my husband and I wanted to save him,’ said Mrs. Cramer after the verdict had been returned. “I figured that if I told the truth I might save myself, but if I had done that my con- science would have bothered me the rest of my life, as my husband probably would. have gone to the gallows.”’ It is said the jurors will write the State Board of Pardons asking that Mrs. Cramer be liberated after serving 11 months. Cramer was a circus clown, balloonist and high diver and was known in the show business as Conway. His wife waa a chorus girl. Both fled to Lima, O. after the murder of Miss Singer in an Indiana avenue rooming house, Oct. 29 1912, and made confessions to the police after being brought wack to Chicago. At the trial both repudiated their con- fessions.

Comparison of the vote cast at the primary election Friday with the vote at the primary for State offices in Au- gust, 1912, shows a gain for the Demo- crats of 15,000 in the number of ballots cast, and.a loss df 19,700 for the Repub- | licans. The Democratic vote friday was the largest ever recorded for one party at a primary election in St. Louis, 80 far as available records show. There were 4709 less votes cast Friday than the number polled by the two par- ties in August. The total vote of the Republicans and Democrats in August was 75,197. The primary vote Friday totaled 70,488. No municipal primary ever was held In St. Louis before by which an exact comparison of the vote can be made, it is said. Party primaries have been held in which there were only.a few polling places in each ward-.and the polls were open only from 1 p. m,. to 8 p. m., under the old law. In the State primary in August the total vote cast for the Democratic ticket was 31,516. The total Democratic vote Friday was 46,516 for Simon and Norvell, a gain of 15,000. The total Republican vote at the Aug- ust primary was 43,681. The votes cast Friday for Kiel and Starkloff made a total of 23,972, a loss of 19,70. The Progressive party vote Friday for Gerhart for Mayor was 186. : The Progressive vote was very light, less than 1700 ballots being cast. Frank H. Gerhart was nominated for Mayor; Anthony *F. ittner for Comptroller, Diedrich Eitzmann for Treasurer, Hen- ry W. Barth for Auditor, George W. Wilson for Register, Eugene A. Vogt for Collector, C. M. Wells for Marshal and Louis A. Ragan for Inspector of Weights and Measures. Norvell carried the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Fifteenth, Six- “Would you ‘hold yourself responsi- ble?’’ Thinks Parents Are Responsible. “Well, now, let me think. Gere’s a girl brought in by her parents, livi at home—should I be responsible? |] think not. I think the parents would be responsible.” Hillman spoke distinctly, to the great relief of the spectators, half of them women who were unable to hear most of the testimony yesterday. The witness said he never had heard of a girl being blacklisted for bad con. duct, but did know of a floorwalker who had suffered that fate for immo rality. Hillman admitted that he was a self- made man. He started at work at $2 @ week as a cash boy. “Could you live on it?’ inquired the chairman of the commission. “Well, my father earned $14 and my $2 helped out. I walked to and from work.” Readiness of Hillman to agree with the commission surprised and delighted * the legislators. For instance, O'Hare asked if it had ever occurred to him to investigate applications for positions to ascertain whether the applicant could live on the salary in prospect. It had never occurred to him, but, said he, ‘It's a good idea.” Promises te Hire Investigator. “Mr. Hillman, will you promise this commission to hire such an investi- gator?” “Yor, certainly; glad to; it’s a good idea,”’ and the stocky witness nodded his jron-gray head emphatically. Asked what he thought a girl could support herself on independently, Hill- rman said $8 or $9 a week. “I could live on $12 myself; yes, I could wqueeze through on $10, I think,” he add- ed. them have not had a job since. These men, with faces freshly washed, old hats brushed and badly worn clothes newly pressed, are im the race for of- fice. As an Arkansas Representative came out of the House Office Building this morning he said: “It is bad enough here, but if I were to go home I would be chased to death. I never saw the like of office seekers in my life.” Hungry Democrats Indignant. Hungry Democrats are indignant over the appointment of Merritt O. Chance as chief clerk of the Postoffice Depart- ment. They assert that Chance is a Republican and should pot be in a Demo- crat’s place. There is talk of holding an indignation meeting in the National Ho- te] over this appointment. “The civil service is a mighty good thing, when carried out,’’ said Repre- sentative Godwin, chairman of the Com- mittee of Reforms in the Civil Service, “but when used for partisan purposes as the Republicans have used it, it is all wrong. It reminds me of the negro who went turkey hunting with an Indian. The two killed-a turkey and a buzzard. They agreed before starting to divide le believed he killed himself. Louis Hausgen, 45 years old, a farmer near Pacific, left home Thursday with- wut telling his family where he was go- ing. He was an inveterate smoker but he failed to take with him his tobacco and the pipe he always used. His wife thought this strange and notified neigh- bors. When Hauagen failed to return home Thursday night a searching party of farmers was organized. At 5 oclock they found the body %00 yards from his home in a ditch. A bullet wound was found in his right breast. Hausgen is survived by his wife ana 10 children. } HERO OF SANTIAGO "DIES NORWELL, Mia. 3 March 8&—~Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton, U. 8.

WASHINGTON, March 8.—President Wilsom let it be known today there was no immediate prospect of letting down the civil service bars to thousands of Democratic office seekers. The Presi- dent told Senator Pomerene that so far, he and the Cabinet had formulated no policy as to appointments for minor positions in the Government service. There had been a report that Presi- dent Wilson might revoke the recent order of Taft which put 36,000 fourth- Class postmasters under the civil serv- ice. Postmaster-General Burleson said to- day that no appointments of postmas- ters probably would be made before April 1, except possibly in case of emer- gency. Approximately 1500 such appoint- ments by Taft were not acted upon by the last Senate, and it will be necessary for President Wilson to make appoint- ments to all these offices. Burleson indicated that it would be his policy, too, not to disturb capable LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 8.— After deliberating since.8:38 o’clock yesterday morning, the jury that tried Clarence S. Darrow on a charge of jury bribery, reported at 10:13 o'clock today that it could not agree whether the former chief counsel for the Mc- Namara brothers was guilty or inno- cent. The jury was discharged by the court, The vote on the last ballot, accord- ing to the announcement of the fore- man, stood 11 to 1, but whether for acquittal or conviction he declined to’say. Fred S. Pettingill, a contractor, who ts foreman of the jury, refused further in- structions for the benefit of Silas Setch- ell, a music master, who was the juror in opposition to the 11 others.

TRACES DEFEAT TO LEGISLATURE St. Louis Member Says Anti-Sin- gle Tax Fight on Initiative Beat Norvell. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, March 8.—The romination of Dr. John H. Simon over Saunders Norvell for Mayor was 4dis- cussed by the House this morning when the bill by Tuggles of Davies, amending the initiative law, came up fer en- grossment on a reconsideration of the vote by which it was defeated last week. Ratchford of St. Louis declared that the action of the House in submitting an anti-single tax amendment amending the initiative, alienated from the sup- port of Norvell thousands of union labor men and brought about his defeat. “If we persist in attacks upon the in- itiative such as is proposed in the bill. 3v,000 members of organized labor will repudiate our ticket in St. Louis,” de- clared Ratchford. “Do you believe that the action of the House on the initiative is responsible for the result of the primary or was it not due to the activities of Harry B. Hawes?” asked Moore of Barton. The Tuggles bill provides for signa- tures of eight per cent of the qualified voters in at least two-thirds of the congressional districts. The number now required is five per cent. The bill pro- vides that the signatures must be ap- proved by the County Court. THREE WOMEN TESTIFY To the - Merit of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

We thought with the committee supporting Norvell that he would easily defeat Dr. Simon, but we were fooled. Harry B.

POLICE WITNESSES AT SENATE INQUIRY Cry “No, That Is Not True;” Chairman Sharply Admonishes Unruly Spectators. WASHINGTON, March 8.—The special Fenate Committee, consisting of Senators Jones, Dillingham and Pomerene, inves- tigating the alleged lack of protection given to the suffragettes in the parade of March 3, resumed its hearing today. Hundreds of women fought for admis-' sion to the committee room where the hearing was held. Policemen had trouble stopping the crush. The first witnesses who appeared in defense of police methods were greeted with ridi- with hisses and inadequate. A defense of the police was present- ed by the Rev. J. H. Nelms who said: “I have seen large crowds in every Eu- ropean capital on all gorts of important occasions and I never saw a more good natured or better handled crowd.”’ The statement with a chorus of ‘No. That isn’t true,’ from the big crowd of women which filled the committee room and overflowed into the corridors. Chairman Jones was forced to admon- ish the audience several times. ‘‘We are here to investigate the disorders dur- ing the parade,’”’ he said finally, ‘‘but if we cannot have order here we will pave to make an investigation as to the causes of disorder in the committee room.”’ ail ————TT Stove, Range and Furnace Repairs.

She says she has never had an ambition to be a society woman, but that if her husband is to be the next Mayor, she will be réady to fill any social require- ments the position may bring to her.

Talks of His Ambition. Of her husband's political career Mrs. Simon said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “If I thought my husband was in poli- tics for what he could get out of it, I would not take any interest in his mbition nor help him. I believe he aspires to the office of Mayor because he thinks in that position he can do; more for St. Louis than he could possi- bly accomplish as a private citizen. “During the campaign I went to two _meetings with him and my part of the work was to take all the home worries. on myself and relieve him of details. ‘Most of this work was answering the telephone. You have no idea how busy the telephone in our house has been 'since my husband became a candidate, and I have answered all the calls. ‘"This morning the telephone has been ringing almost constantly, and I have Seceived applications for every kind of job under the city administration, rom secretary to the Mayor to working n the sewers. “Qne of the most pleasant calls I had is morning was from Dn Starkloff, “who rang me up to offer congratula-j} fons.

He said he ranted to congratulate Dr. Simon and romise his support.

Ambassador’s Part in Overthrow of Madero, a Bomb in Washington. IS DEFENDED BY . SOME ‘Americans Frequently Had Com- » plained of His Failure to Pro- tect Their Interests. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. ) WASHINGTON, March 8.—The revela- tions In the Post-Dispatch giving the public an insight of the charges that the American State Department and American Ambassador, Henry Lane Wwiil- gon at Mexico City, are responsible for the overthrow of the Madero govern- ment in Mexico, fell like a bomb on of- ficial Washington. “There was a distinct air of gratifica- tion among officeholders and army of- ficers and only the official seal on their lips prevented them from adding their personal corroboration to the accuracy of the revelations. «For two weeks officers of the army have held the opinion that Ambassador Wilson did much to bring about the downfall] of President Madero. Some ef them openly charge him with being responsible for his assassination. As éne high official of the War Depart- ‘ent expressed it today: ~*“Tg it to be conceived that a peni- tentiary, no matter where located, is jany more comfortable than a residence ér a palace? Yet Ambassador Wilson, in an official dispatch received at the State Department, a copy of which was furnished by the State Department to the War Department, said that he had asked that President Madero be moved from the presidential palace in Mexico City to the penitentiary for safety and hecause he could be made more com- fortable there.” Suggests Peace at Any Cost. Another high official of the War De- partment voiced the opinion that the American Ambassador, the Americans in Mexico City and the American State . Department wanted peace at any cost and were going to get it at any cost. A well-known minister of a Latin- American:.country received a cablegram from his Government which was sent to him for his guidance. It contained an inquiry as to any possible motive of the State Department which might have prompted the report of Ambassa- dor Wilson, in which he gave the pro- visional President of Mexico a clean bill of health and exonerated him from responsibility in the murder of former President Madero and his Vice-Presi- dent, Pino Suarez. The communication came directly from the Minister’s For- eign Office and it contained a report submitted by his colleague in Mexico ‘City. This report stated flatly that Wil- son (thé American Ambassador) had long been recognized as friendly to the groups which were working for the re- “Btoration of conditions which existed under the Porfirio Diaz regime. Another bit of corroborative evidence which has come to Washington was re- ' eeived by the Washington representa- tive of a large New York banking ~ house, which received it from its con- a € fidential agent in Mexico.

Wns you were a king in Egypt, We used to wonder why you cared For statues everywhere. In those old early days, And every time you ordered one, And I was an artist there, We never could explain it It filled us with amaze. II. We carved them by tne river, And we carved them in the bluff; But chisel, chisel as we would, You never had enough. The very sun was clouded By the dust which hung about, But why you wanted all of them We never figured out. IIT. I remember one occasion On which we made you ten; They looked out on the river From the quiet of a glen. They had your name upon them, And the fact that you were king, And they ranged along the water Like the beads upon a string. IV: When you were a king in Egypt, And I was an artist there, And the kings were building pyramids And columns everywhere. I never understood it In those days, truth to tell; But latterly, I fancy, I see it very well. Vv. You wanted some assurance Th:t men would hear of you, And in that humor made a sort Of rdamant Who's Who. You chiseled it in granite, . And lettered it in stone, And all of you in consequence, Are thoroughly well known. VI. It wasn’t every king who knew How long the world woulu last, Or what a dim recollection would Still linger of the past; But you were a king of Egypt When the world was in its dawn, And all the pharaohs, by some Strange prescience, were on. “Art in Egypt,”’ by G. Maspero. (Scrib- ner’s.) ONE OF MRS. RINEHART’S. ed Br case of Jennie Brice,’ by Mary Roberts Rinehart, posess- es enough mystery and thrills to keep you guessing to the very end of the tale. Neither is this story lack- ing those peculiar and intimate touches which make Mary Roberts Rinchart’s stories so convincing. The story swings arcund the fact that Jennie Brice, an actress, disappears from the boarding house of a Mrs Pit- man under suspicious circumstances, and the landlady, believing, that murder has been committed, confides her suspicions to the police, who im- mediately start out to hunt for a corpse, while a private investigation is carried on by a Mr. Holcombe, a man much interested in the circunstancial evidence theory, and also by a young newspaper man, who has urgent rea- sons for finding the whereabouts of Jen- nie Brice. A little love story winds In and out. just enough to relieve the tension when things get too exciting, and of course eventually all confusing things are straightened out. (Bobbs-Merrill.) NOT ANOTHER CHRISTOPHER. IME AND THE WOMAN,” by Richard Pryce, will be eagerly condemning coffee and tobacco. He is still influenced to a considérable extent by Scriptural texts in use when the ac- cepted American idea was that boys could be “well-bred”’ at home, with re- ligion as the basis of success. In spite of this, however, he includes the “‘re-, search” and laboratory methods, and systemizes them in connection with those of the latest schools of “‘paidolog- osts.”” He writes clearly and compre- hensively. The book ought to be read by all who wish a comprehensive out- line of the latest plans for establishing compulsory “‘scientific’’standard of state institutional and philanthropic control, which will combine biology, psychology and sociology in deciding destiny for boys. The same biological principles are applied in standardizing cattle, horses, swine and mules, and we have glowing reports of success from the experiment stations of state agricultural colleges. Prof. McKeever differs from many biolo- gists in holding the antique theory that boys have souls. His original idea of what a boy ought to be when completed, will seem to many who share this opin- ion, worth more than even the latest science from the laboratories. (Macmil- lan.) lJ conventional, Ashton Hilliers in his new novel, “‘Who Laughs Last,’’ voices some original and enter- taining ideas about things in general. Scattered around through many dis- cursive chapters are the makings of a rather exciting melodrama, featuring the triumph of virtue in spite of ob- stacles. A scheming step-brother, a banished youth, a stern, yet kindly- hearted father, a scheming adventurer, a conscienceless charlatan, a faithful cla family counselor and a kidnaped maiden would be the principal roles in such a play. The author delivers some flings at things American, doubtless thinking them witty, and perpetrates some dialogue doubtless intended to ex- press phonetically English as it is spoken in the United States. (Putnam.) WHO LAUGHS LAST. TILIZING a plot that is wholly “MODERN PROBLEMS.” HIS book is a collection of essays a by Sir Oliver Lodge on a wide variety of tupics, political, social, economic and metaphysical, all treated {rom a human interest point of view. Sir Oliver has an extraordinary facility and precision of expression, with a dl- vine gift of imparting the flavor of ro- mance to subjecis that in the mere seientist’s hands would be dry as dust. There are 21 essays in this volume, dealing with war, arbitration, co-opera- tion, competition, the function of money, wealth, thrift, drink, organized charity and the smoke nuisance Sir Oliver would have been considered a rank radical 20 years ago and the way in which this man of science ex- presses as truisms of today the heresies cf yesterday in discussing the vital problems of the relation of man to man is a striking illustration of the fact that the world has moved at a tremendous pace in the last quarter of a century. ‘‘Modern Problems” is a literary tonic for the thinking man. (Doran). STRENGTH OF THE WEAK. F. BENSON, author of “Dodo,”’ Eo undertakes to prove in. ‘The =® Weaker Vessel” that for long suffering patience, constancy’ and real strength of character the weaker vessel is really the stronger. BDleanor Ramsden, because of a tem- perament and a stepmother who do not harmonize, persuades her father to let her go as governess to a neighboring family where she is treated quite as an equal. Here she meets Harry Whittak- er, who is tutoring in the same family. member the days of his struggle be- tween the flesh and the spirit. Not since James Lane Allen's “Summer in Aready” have we had such a poem in prose. (Bobs-Merrill.) 3 REBELLIOUS WOMEN. NDER the title of “The Gay’ Re- bellion,” Robert W. Chambers sends out a collection of small stories treating in burlesque the idea that suffrage is desired by women. His female characters boycott men as a class, that they may select only the most perfect as mates and so estab- lish a republic of perfect progeny. This gives the author an absurd license for situations which he uses clev- erly. The stories are a gay frolic of the imagination, interspersed with the real psychology of mating. (Appleton.) FEXPLAINING THE SUPERWOMAN. ‘4 Roker. VARNHAGEN,” by Ellen Key, may be read with deep interest by all who wish to have a better understanding of two ‘‘su- perwomen,’’ the most interesting of whom at present may be Ellen Key her- self. In considering Rahel Varnhagen as the first of the modern type of super- woman, she defines herself perhaps much more fully than the once-famous Rahel is ever likely to be defined. Before understanding Rahel, it is nec- essary to understand Goethe, whom she worshiped as “lord and master of her soul.”” Perhaps it is impossible to un- derstand what Goethe was as he at- tempted to live “In the absolute’ or wholly ideal. We may never know what that is. By comparison with Schil- ler, however, we can understand what he was not. He was not a poet who risked his own personal comfort or safety through sympathy with the com- monplace life of the oppressed people of Germany, whose poet and liberator Schiller became. With a higher esthet- ‘ec genius than this, Goethe could live securely as a courtier, patronize the Grand Dukes who supported him and marry a competent cook and housekeep- er. With his own physical comfort se- cure, he could rise to ideal heights nev- er before attempted in INterature. As Varnhagen von Ense owes his in- spiration and his fame to his connection with Goethe’s “transcendental” circle, he cowed Goethe also his wife, Rahel, whose salon in Berlin was frequented by all who were ‘“Goethereif.” When Rahel herself divides men and women into two classes, ‘“‘those who are Goethereif (ripe for Goethe) and those who are not,” we can understand the superwoman who “transcends” the merely human from that sentence as we might not from volumes without it. Born a Jewess and becoming a Chris- tion on her marriage to Varnhagen, who worshiped her, she worshiped only Goethe. She was essentially a good woman and a woman of extraordinary genius. It was expressed chiefly through her conversation. This made her, fa- mous, but there is genius enough in her letters to show that too much has not been said by Ellen Key or anyone else of the remarkable quality of her en- thusiasm. She is as much a superwom- an in her ideals as Goethe was a super- man when he defined his ideal of elec- tive ‘“‘soul-mating.”” -How far these ideals connect with anything real on earth or in the solar system is of course another and a final question. We might have Schillers, but no Goethes, if there were no Grand Dukes to admire great poets and no good cooks to marry them. But fin the goodness of her soul, Rahel Varnhagen prayed for a world of soul- mates with nothing masculine but Goethes in it. And in her own cult of the feminine supersoul, Ellen Key has discovered the solution of everything in superwomen who have realized the ideal of Goethe’s “Ewigweibliche.” After B? peepee the Bp ribet, ae.

I de not impugn his personal integrity, but he has shown himself so consistently opposed to the Madero ad- ministration and so loyal to the friends of ex-President Diaz that his opinion, however honest, should have no weight with business men. “It is possible that it was meant merely for public consumption and as a part of the political game. However, I am of the opinion, this acceptance of Huerta’s explanation of the murder of Madero and Suarez can mean nothing more than the expression of his own opinion, “No ene else in Mexico City with whom I have talked—Americans, En- giish and Mexicans—take any stock in the new President’s version of the mur- der. It is the general belief here that more of the Madero family will be killed before the end of the week, but this is pure conjecture.” It is known that many complaints against Ambassador Wilson have been sent to Senators and Representatives by American friends and constituents in Mexico. These did not relate to any intriguing on his part to overthrow Ma- dero, but related chiefly to his failure to properly assist in protecting American lives and property and refusing to aid those who were in need of assistance to maintain their rights, as between the conflicting factions. Nowhere did the Post-Dispatch story create more consternation than in the State Department. Assistant Secretary of State Huntington Wilson, a Repub- lican, who has been asked to stay a few days by Secretary of State Bryan, char- acterized the article as “maliciously false.”’ “The American colony in Mexico City strongly indorsed the part Ambassador Willson played in the Mexican troubles in the Mexican capital. This colony wanted to present the Ambassador with a silver service in appreciation of his conduct,” said Huntington Wilson.

A story of the Civil War is expected to contain enough of excitement and mystery to satisfy the most exacting. ‘‘The Lost Dispatch,” by Natalie Sumner Lincoln, author of ‘‘The Trevor Case,’’ is more a detective sto than a war story. j Capt. Lloyd of the United States Secret Service believes Nancy Newton, a young woman in Washington society, to be a Confederate spy. He is finally success- ful in his efforts to trap her. An at- tempt is also made to fasten a mur- der upon her. At the close of a dra- matic trial before a military commis- sion the crime is shown to have been committed by another woman. Notwith- standing that the author betrays a lack of familiarity with the phases of life de- picted, there is good entertainment and plenty of thrill in the book. (Appleton.) MAKING THE STANDARDIZED BOY. dé RAINING THE BOY,” by Wil- T jiam A. McKeever, is a com- |jplete handbook of modern sci- entific directions for those who expect to train ‘their own or of other people's boys. The author ts Professor of Phil- osophy in the University of Kansas. His work includes everything most essen- tial which has been proposed by Sociol- ogists of the Rockefeller ‘‘foundations,”’ and by the new biological laboratory schools of research for standardizing boys on scientific principles. Prof. Mc- Keever consults all the most modern authorities, but he is not servile in his adherence to the Rockefeller and Garry systems of deciding what a boy ought to be when stadardized under public or private control. He is not only emphat- ic in demanding the complete p*ohibition r the “demon of drink,” but aleo in ers Eleanor has talent for acting, but at- tempts to keep her from finding out that she is gifted. She marries Harry Whit- taker, who goes on writing plays that are very successful, but at a terrible cost to himself, since he is not able to do virile work except under: the in- fluence of alcohol. As soon as Eleanor discovers this the struggle begins. Harry becomes the weaker vessel and goes all to pieces in every way. He has written a play for Miss Anstruther, who while fully capable, declares her part is only to be played by the woman Whittaker had in mind while writing it. This of course is his wife Eleanor. She at once takes the part and plays lead- ing lady to Louis Grey’s leading man. He falls in love with her, but makes no declaration. In the meantime Whit- taker becomes entangled with Miss Ans- truther. He confesses to Eleanor, who nurses her husband through it as she would through an attack of the measles. He does not recover from drink or the actress, however, until he is knocked into sanity by a motor car, which ren- ders him a lifelong helpless invalid. This is the story which it takes 468 pages to tell. It has no new situation or psychology. The characters are never vitally interesting; the best is, perhaps, the stepmother, who is eternally house- cleaning everyone’s mind and morals, and, though she is small minded, mean and dishonest, proves to you by explana- tions of her motives that she is nothing of the kind. (Dodd-Mead.) OHIO RIVER ROMANCE. RANK WALLER ALLEN dedicates co “The Lovers of Skye” “to the happy few,” but surely there are many lovers who will enjoy the arca- dian charm of his Ohio River story. Some little village south of Louisville is the place called Skye. It is sleepy and slow, its young people grow up and love and grow into old beaus and old misses before they are aware of the flight. of time. Perhaps if Hippolite Pac, son of a French Marquis, impov- erished and exiled, had not from the mere youthfulness and virility of his awakening manhood fallen so simply and ardently in love with the rational and real Eve of the Eden, and had they not met secretly, and loved and flirted openly and shamelessly, the village would still be all old beaus @nd old maids. But their example passed like a breath of scented honeysuckle from the depths of the woods until it stirred and awoke to love everyone who sensed its fragrance. Almost the old priest of the village herself as the prophetess of the Ewig- weibliche. PERSONALITY IN BUSINESS. HEN he is not engaged in author- \W ship, William Ganson Rose is said to be ‘a substantial and enterprising business man.” thor, he has just added AS an au- “Success in Business” to a series of volumes he is writing on allied subjects. It ig notable, as it differs from the books on “human engineering’’ which make system and speeding processes superior to every- thing else. Without refecting the bene- fits of the best systematic methods, it makes personal success depend on the person. It reinstates personality or in- dividuality as superior to system and capable of creating the best system out of its own will to succeed. If the person is “‘able;”’ if he knows himself, if he has the desire, the will or the de- termination to succeed, then he will learn the business, the system, the re-- lations of all this to human nature in others as he knows it in himself. This may end in mere metaphysics if carried to extremes. The business which helps cthers most ought to be most success- ful. That simple rule makes self-analy- sis and “‘autosuggestion’”’ needless. But this book may be needed by many, es- pecially by those who are in danger of being subjected to the mechanical theo- ries of “human engineering” at the op- posite extreme, with system as every- thing and Individuality overwhelmed by it.

Higinboth- am, we are to suppose that the author is a Chicago man who “blew into France” last year at Havre, ani after blowing through every in and out vf the way point of interest, blew out ngain through the palace of Fontaine- bleau, all in 21 days. Then we wi!! have the secret of perpetual breeziness of style which makes the book inter- esting reading from beginning to end¢, even when the author is supposed to be doing his own Chicago worst in “‘do- ing France.” In fact, however, he does this sort of thing systematically in one country after another. He uses all he knows about France or any other coun- try, including all that is in the guide- books, in a systematic attempt to put guidebook literature “out of busines:”’ by supplanting it with real “readinz matter.”’ He succeeds in writing read- able matter, with all the breeziness in it which could be asked even from the regrets hia yows and js: bappy to re- 1 ee eee ae eee a a eh ERE, bk RS: Sa iE a ei 5 ep Hye ‘ha ; Lake Shore, (Reilly-Bri . _———— va —Chicago Record-Herald if The story is spright- ly, diverting, full of vigor and vim; bright, active, re fr es hi ng. —Cleveland Plain Dealer Andrew the Glad is another southern romance as happily humorous and sympathetic as The Melting of Molly. .

RM HARD OLNEY IS. ~OFFERED LONDON AMBASSADORSHIP Cleveland’s Former Secretary of State Has Not Accepted and Attitude Is Not Known. WILL START ON MESSAGE President Likely to Deal Only With the Tariff Question and - Currency Reform. By Associated Press WASHINGTON, March 8.—President Wilson has offered to Richard Olney of Boston, Secretary of State in President Cleveland’s Cabinet, the post of Am-| bassador to Great Britain. Some Massachusetts Democrats have felt that their State was slighted in the makeup of President Wilson’s cab- inet, and it is belleved that this fact had some weight in bringing Olney’s name to the front. Some doubt was expressed today whether” Olney would accept the post, because he is 78 years old and has had an exceptionally active life. In official circles it was thought Great Britain would not be likely to object to this appointment, since he held two Cabinet positions under Grover Cleveland. Olney’s legal ability, administration advisers believe, would be of great value in the conduct of the Panama Canal negotiations, and they are anxious that he accept the London post. ‘Thomas Next After McCombs. At the White House today it was said that next to Chairman McCombs of the Democratic National Committee, Au- gustus Thomas, the playwright, was foremost in President Wilson's consid- eration for the post of Ambassador to France. McCombs, it was said, had not made up his mind whether he would take the post of Ambassador or remain}. as chairman of the committee. In any event, he plans a trip abroad. President Wilson will begin prepara- tion of his first message to Congress next week. It probably will deal with only two subjects—the tariff at some length and currency reform briefly. During the special session other mes- gages may be sent to Congress, espe- cially one on the need for currency legislation after the House has disposed Pre- dictions today were that the President, in dealing with the present tariff, wil! confine himself largely to an exposition of general policy and point out schedules which he believes are in particular need of reform. Col. E. M. House of Texas, intimate friend of President Wilson, led the list Gol to See President. National " Commaltgueennn Edward F. Goltra of Missouri, former Representa- tive Pujo, who presided over the House Money Trust investigations; Represent- atives Sherley of Kentucky and Moon of Tennessee; Senator Pomerene of Ohio and Gov. O'Neil of Alabama, all j~had engagements with the President “for the forenoon. The President gl: received the Su- preme Court in the Blue Room of the White House during the morning. The Court's visit was unusually brief, due to the fact that the aides at the White House benefitted by their experi- ence on the last occasion when the Sourt paid its formal respects. An em- Dbarrassing situation was created then, as neither the members of the Supreme Court not Taft were sure who should leave the Blue Room first. In the un- certainty, the Court’s visit was pro- longed nearly an hour. Today Président Wilson was informed he was to depart ahead of the Court. He did so, after chatting briefly with the «Justices, and hurried back to the ex- , that he ecutive offices to meet a long line of ., callers. No Aids in Uniform. President Wilson today finally decided would not be acompanied in public by uniformed aids. The Jatter

FOUR OF CABINET HUSTESSES ARE CAPITAL FAVORITES Mrs. Bryan’s Acquaintance With Washington Society Began in Congress Circle. WASHINGTON, March 8.—Washing- ton society is vastly pleased with the selection of hostesses for the Wilson Cabinet Circle, the majority of whom are well and favorably known here. Mrs. W. J. Bryan, who will head the line, has been known to Washingtor so- ciety for a good many years as she was introduced here when Bryan was a Congressman, before he made his first race for the presidency. Frequent visits since then have kept her in touch, with local society and her appearance at the Dolly Madison breakfast last heer: brought her an ovation. Mrs. Albert Sidney Burleson has ‘been the wife of a Congressman for 16 years and her position is secure, aside from her husband’s political preferment. She is a great traveler, a student and writes playlets for amateur theatricals. Mrs. Franklin L. Lane is a graduate of the University of California and her specialties are art and music. She is distinguished looking and a favorite in the Congressional circle. Mrs. Josephus Daniels’ acquaintance with the Capital society is chiefly through the Naval set, of which she is considered a part, because of her fre- quent visits with her mother, Mrs. Ade- laide North Bagley. She has a brother in the navy. She is a typical southern hostess and is called a well-bred, whole- souled woman.

This was news to Hillman, who denied any such condition in his store. “Why,” he exclaimed, “let me tell you about one of those ‘mashers’ who are always taking up the time of the girls. Two weeks ago one of our de- tectives caught one of them, and hon- est, when that ‘bull’ got through with him he was a sight.

GAETANO VIVIANO, DEPORTED A YEAR AGO, SNEAKS BACK Photographs to Be Sent Out by St. Louis Police to Aid U. S. Search for Him.

Duplicate photographs of Gaetano Viviano, also known as Ghio .Viviano, were prepared Saturday by the St. Louis police and will be sent to cities through- out the country in a nation-wide search for Viviano by the police and Govern- ment officials. Viviano is known in police circles as King of the Black Hand, and was de- ported to Italy in April, 1912. He has made his way back to America and entered the country in violation of the immigration laws, according to offi- cials. If he is found he will again be deported, officials say. Traced to Illinois. The St. Louis police say they have traced Viviano to an Italian settlement at White Ash, Ill., but he has not been seen there in the last two weeks. Miss Ella Harrison, postmistress at White Ash, identified a photograph of Viviano jas that of a man who has called regu- larly up to two weeks ago for mall there. An Italian told Detectives Callahan ano had returned to this country and was spending his time in Italian settle- ments in East St. Louis, White Ash and Johnson City. By following this ‘tip’ the officers traced him to White Ash and then lost the trail. Viviano Was Arrested. Viviano was arrested in St. Louis, Oct. 29, 1911, in company with three other Italians at Florissant and Cal- vary avenues when Ghio Lafata went there to deposit $2000 in accordance with the demand in a Black Hand let- ter. A short time later Joseph Debalo, one of the men arrested with Viviano, was killed by Sam Grippi, who escaped, Viviano left St. Louis at that time. A few weeks later the headless body of a man thought to be~Grippi was found in New .ork. : Viviano was arrested in connection with the crime. Investigation of his record showed that he had served two prison terms in Italy, and that he had neen connected with Black Hand s0- cieties there. He was deported as an undesirable citizen. The St. Louis police sought to con- nect Viviano with the killing of Sal- vatore Leoni, whose headless body was found in an ashpit at Ninth and Carr streets, Jan. 29, 1911, and questioned him concerning the murder of Daniano Capuano on Dago Hill by the Black Hand in December, 1910, but were un- able to get evidence that showed he had anything to do with these crimes.

MAJOR WILL SIGN HUME RULE, UNIT AND UTILITY BILLS Result of Primary in St. Louis Won’t Change Attitude on City Self-Government. 7. By Jd, J. MeAULIFFE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, JEF- FERSON CITY, March 8.—Gov. Major announced this morning that he will sign the home rule bills, the county unit bill and public utilities bill next week. All of these measures are on his desk. lt is expected he will reach them about Wednesday. ° The result of the primary in St. Louis and the nomination of Dr. John H. Simon for Mayor, the Governor said, does not alter his opinion upon the ad- visability of home rule for St. Louis. “The result of the St. Louis primary will not affect in the slightest my fealty to home rule,” he said, with a laugh. When the Governor. was asked if he weuld sign the county unit bill, he said he would. “In my inaugural ad- dress I said that I would not interpose my véto to any well considered legisla- tion by the General Assembly. You can say I will sign the bill.’’ The Governor said he wants carefully to compare the home rule bills, the pub- lic utilities bill and county unit bill with the engrossed bills to guard against error. He expected to leave for St. Louis at 2:45 this afternoon to attend the Pike County banquet. He expressed gratification over the apparent honesty and fairness of the primary. “I have not’ received or heard of a single complaint with ref- erence to the conduct of the St. Louis primary,”’ he said. ‘“‘This justifies the wisdom of the Legislature in the enact- ment of the law.

lacceptable to the country, and will do more to. justify confidence in him and enhance his popu- larity. | Ap tie — SS MR. NORVELL’S MIST. Mr, Norvell and his campaign manager, Mr. Hawes, have suffered the logical consequences of two fatal mistakes. Under the leadership of Mr. Hawes the Demo- cratic Committee which has been repudiated time and again by the party voters was whipped into the support of Mr. Norvell who became the organization candidate. Every other candidate was shut out from the. party organization’s sup- port. It was announced from the beginning that Mr. Hawes had solidified the committee and con- trolleq it for Mr. Norvell who could not himself have done it. This parading of Mr. Norvell as the candidate of the party organization under the contro] of an organization boss was sufficient to defeat Mr. Norvell. The other fatal mistake was the collection of a large campaign fund from business men and the refusal of Mr. Norvell and his campaign managers to make public the sources of the fund. The voters had reason to suspect that the fund was contributed by representatives of interests, the publications of whose names would injure Mr. Norvell and that the fund was used to con- trol the organizations. Mr. Norvell himself made the mistake of putting his candidacy in the hands of Mr. Hawes, who thus became the party boss. Mr. Hawes’ bossism was resented and repudiated by a ma- jority of the voters. The day when candidates can be named for office by organization bosses with large secret campaign funds has gone forever. The direct popular primary has put political methods of this kind out of business. It cannot be said that the Democratic result was due to the apathy of the voters. The total vote exceeded 46,000—the largest in the history of any party in this city. Even if the charge that Republicans voted in the Democratic prim- ary is true, the margin is large enough for an extraordinary vote. The fact that the Republican vote was 20,000 below the Democratic vote, despite a mayoralty contest, indicates .either profound Republican apathy or the practical dissolution of the Repub- lican party. Where the bolting Republican voters will go in the election has yet to be disclosed. The Progressive and Socialist votes are not fair in- dexes of their strength, as there were no con- tests. Comparisons of the tickets as a whole and of individual candidates wil] be made in the light of complete information. a T,LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | ae Pete, “Oundea by JOSEPH PULITZER, Dec. 12, 1878. | Published by the Pulitzer Publishing Co., pee ess 210-212 N.

J. Holbrook was right when hetold his progressive associates that all St. Louisans should pull with the Post-Dispatch in abolishing the arbitrary and putting St. Louis on the map. Much has been accomplished in this direc- tion. St. Louis is now on the railroad map and St. Louis shipments have St. Louis bills of lad- ing. Many St. Louisans have worked with us. Many of the most influential St. Louisans have worked against us. It took years to enlighten the people on the nature and effect of the arbi- trary handicaps. But St. Louis is enlightened now and none but those whose interest is served by the railroad monopoly refuse to op- pose it. The final battle against all monopoly charges is on. The Post-Dispatch is enlisted for the fin- ish. We are sure of a victorious finish, but the. co-operation of all:the people of St. Louis could hasten this end. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE A Word for the ‘‘Ambulance Chaser.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Expressing his views recently on the workman’s compensation bill, now before the Missouri Legis- lature, Mr. Dutton hoped that “the Missouri Gen- eral Assembly would not throttle this important measure, for the sole purpose of benefiting the few notorious ambulance chasers at the expense of the thousands of workmen, their widows and children. I wish to submit what I consider a pertinent re- ply. First, any “ambulance chaser’ in the city will tell you that the first man on the job is usually the agent of the insurance companies. They are there with their little slips of paper for the poor unfortunate victim to sign, releasing from lia- bility the million dollar corporations. These agents can be found in all the hospitals where injured workmen are carried for operation after accidents, before they have recovered from the anesthetic, importuning the nurses for an inter- view with their patients. They can be found in the squalid homes of misfortune, while the crepe still flutters on the door knob; securing releases for a few paltry dollars tn cases where the law of the land would award those entitled to re- cover the sum of thousands: The physician in charge of a large hospital in this city told the writer some years ago of a most pathetic case in point.

= = % rer aR. BRYAN’S MODESTY. Mr. Bryan, being asked to indicate what he has in mind to do for this country as its Secretary of State, modestly refers us to a charming piece of unofficial rhetoric of the vintage of 1900, in which he, as an aspirant for a higher office than he holds now, conceived of ‘‘a national destiny surpassing the glories of the present and past,” etc. It isa beautiful Bryanesque effort, but it says. nothing —that is, nothing to indicate a policy of State. The wonder will be generally expressed, what is the Secretary’s object in “pulling the old stuff,”’ as the vaudevillians say? If his purpose is to be cryptic or merely vague, the 1900 gem serves ad- mirably. But if his reference to it is inspired by vanity or a desire to remind the country that President Wilson is not che only eloquent states- man in it, the speech has a good deal of signifi- cance. In passing it may be remarked that nothing Mr. Bryan ever uttered exceeded President Wilson's inaugural in true eloquence and nobility of mean- ing. It is just as well to accord the palm to the President now on that score. But a deeper and more interesting rivalry is suggested. Is Mr. Bryan going to claim authorship of the adminis-

mark a broader, more intelligent policy in pro-}tration peace policy on the basis of what he said ‘moting the comfort and enjoyment of the people. -_ 4m enorr-ous business will make all the hours of Sunday rush hours. While adding to the pleas- ure of the people and helping to familiarize them with the features of their own town, the city au- 1 ‘ thorities also will be acquiring experience with ‘the practical problems of a municipally owned . ~@perated traction system on a considerable ya ; 3 . prs } experience will some day ibe rit in 1900? And is he going to produce from his old speeches the documentary evidence of authorship of every policy that the administration may pro- pose? The modern democracy, the recent Democrasic platform and thé party’s progressive program un- questionably owe much to air. Bryan’s early ef- forts, but we shall not require reminders of th

and especially Dispatch upon the divorce and alimony ques- tion, and what to do with undutiful parents, but nothing has ever been done to remedy this evil. I, an abused wife, sought the divorce courts. Of course, good old father Judge gave me a divorce, and also custody of my two Hittle daughters, aged 6 and 8 years, also a judgment for alimony, $10 per week. Not one penny of this alimony could I collect. Husband was free, left the State—what does he care for the children? The Court gave them to their mother; let her support them. A few months later husband comes back with wife number two and lives today in tnis city, employed by the city, and as a city employe’s salary cannot be garnished, alimony cannot be collected, the city thereby protecting him’ with full knowledge of the Court’s orders that he support his first family. This is my experience with the law. I have supported my children for the past seven years. Fortunately I have a fair-paying position in a downtown office, keep a home, and‘try to edu- cate my little daughters. When we are obliged to do this. we deserve a voice in the Legisla- ture. Where are our good men? Why don’t they wake up to the anomaly of these conditions? As you well say: “Law should define duties of par- ents to children and in the case of the undutifu] fathet, follow him as persistently as it does a common thief.” “ A MOTHER.

I make bold to say that in all your experience as a coin collector you have never beheld its like. May I not have the honor of a visit? Respectfully yours, PULLSBURY PIKE, M. A. Vinny pocketed the epistie, which had come by messenger, sipped his coffee, and glanced speculatively across the breakfast table at his father. “Dad,” he began tentatively, lower- ing his coffee cup, “may I call on you”"—— *“‘No!”” slammed Mr. Van Doozer, jab- bing his fruit-knife into a whole-wheat biscuit. “If you want money, work for it! Why, confound, it, when I was your age’— ‘Now, dad, please don’t let’s go over all that again. You know I’m no good at the business thing. Besides, I'm "ot such a bad sort, am I?

In a tenth-floor bedroom-and-bath apartment, coquetting with a late break- fast, Mr. Pike was discovered. A very prepossessing gentleman of studious as- pect and elegant form; broad and high his brow, his face intellectually lean and of a slight pallor; and tethering his glistening eyeglasses a poetic black rib- bon, suggesting thoughts of James Whit- comb Riley and Keats. . “These coins of mine,” said he, when the waiter had removed the breakfast things and passed a willow basket of Havanas, “though most: peculiarly marked, possess seemingly supernatural qualities far more wonderful. Now, un- derstand me plainly. I, Pillsbury Pike, as rigorous @ man as ever exploded a superstitious bubble with the keen scal- pel of science, say to you in broad daylight that these coins are enchanted. Especially does it seem manifest in cer- tain financial hazards. Concrete evi- dence? I'll give you plenty—before re- vealing the agency. “We'll take the simple game of heads and tails, in which, as possibly you'll agree, there is a proven law of certainty that quite prohibits any such thing as protracted luck. Yet, were we to sit at thig table and match: dollars from now to doomsday, he who held these mys- terious coins, and trusted implicitly in them, would win every toss as surely as I am smoking this cigar.” He handed Vinny a full-laden chamois bag about the size of a watch-case. “Keep one hand on the coins, and re- peat slowly to yourself: ‘O, om, in thee I trust!’ I’ve found this insures a per- fect control. Probably you think this all hocus-pocus rubbish, Mr. Van Doozer, but—just walt.’ ’’ He poised a silver dollar and raised an interrogative eyebrow. ‘Tails!’ said Vinny, feeling as though he were attending a spiritualjistic seance. The dollar spun into the air and fell upon the table, eagle up. Mr. Pike handed his opponent a five-dollar bill. “Just to make it more convincing,” he explained, poising the dollar as before. This time Vinny chose heads. Once the coin twirled upward; once more Vinny received a greenback. Again and again the same operation; again and again the same result. Mr. Pike always lost. “Well, Mr. Van Doezer!"’ he asked at length. A neat little pile of bank notes lay be- fore Vinny. He pushed them across the table and looked thoughtful. “It is amazing,’’ he conceded; “but it’s hard to believe, you know, that what- ever’s in this bag had anything to do with it.” “It had everything to do with it,” emphatically declared Mr. Pike. “In matching coins this mystical power is omnipotent—hence its name. Vinny produced his bankroll. “Well, just for fun,” said he, “let’s see if Mr. Om could win this bunch of kale without my taking down a bet. Candidly, I don’t believe he’s half equa! to the job.” Mr. Pike smiled indulgently. “My dear boy, had you $1,000,000, ana I but one, I could win it all. Neverthe- less, I am happy to submit the mar- velous coins to any test you may pre- scribe. Afterward I shall gladly show them to you.” — He covered the chamois bag, and be- gan tossing.

I was matching pennies with Prof. Dwv- dleflap, when”’—— He went on to relate an apparenily pointless story, gathering up the $10 as he talked, Vinny’s cigar had gone dead again. He walked to the bureau for a match. He had struck one and was holding it lin his hollowed palms, when, happening to look in the mirror, he saw the cor- ridor door gently, swiftly, noiselessly, closing upon the well-tailored back of Pillsbury Pike, M. A. A suspicion, as sudden as it was gen- uine, gripped him. He wheeled about, dashed for-the door. Locked! He turned, swept the table with a rapid glance. Nothing on it but an ash re- ceptacie and a cigar stump. He rattled the doorknob furiously, tugged at it vainly. Then he sat down, and laughed. Then he decided to reconnoiter. His quest finished, he placed the sum total of Mr. Pike’s personal effects upon the table and regarded it reflectively. It con- sisted of three matches, a book of ciga- rette papers, a pack of playing cards and an empty whisky flask. The telephone shrilled at him. He reached it in three strides, upbraiding himself for overlooking it as a means to freedom. “Just a word, dear boy,’”’ purred Mr. Pike’s soft voice. “I am at the railway station, and my train leaves in two minutes. Look under the table tchind you and you will find Mr. Om. I be- stow him upon you with my blexssing May you bask long and happily in his affluent smile. And remember-.always repeat ‘O Om, in thee I trust!’ Good- by, little chap, and thank you warmly for a pleasant morning.” The connection was broken. Vinns looked under the table. And there it lay—the little chamois bag. He opened it and two shiny metal dollars ¢c:cpped into his hand. At first he saw ~othing unusual about them, except thet both were made of lead; but turning them this way and that he found them to be remarkable specimens, indeed. He hai none like them in his collection; nor had he ever seen any like them; nor had he ever heard of their like. For while one was adorned on either side with the idealized herd of an ido: ized lady, the other was stamped on both sides with the American ei..2. Evi dently Mr. Pike, in tossing, nad vrsed both of them, deftly palming the one not needed at the moment. Some time later—thanks to an oppor- tune bellboy—he sauntered into the dol- lar-grubbing mart of his father, who gave him a frown, an _ earnest-faced clerk a wire basket of letters, and a pompadoured young woman a bristling dictation. Vinny sighed and sat down. “Get that off at once, Miss Kettle,”’ ordered the general of finance, after 2 minutes’ dynamic utterance. Miss Kettle patted her puffs, gathered up her notes, and turned to go. “Tell Spink to file these invoices,’”’ he called after her; “give those bills to the auditor—what- chuhangin’ ’round here for! No room here for loafers—not you Miss Kettle; I was speaking to this young man. You may go now. Thank you!’’ “‘Dad,”’ said Vinny solemnly, after the door had closed upon the perturbed etenographer, “I’ve chucked the collect- ing stunt forever and forever.”’ *'Tis a lucky father who knows his son. The elder Van Doozer thought he knew his. “Well, out with it!” he ordered gruff- ly. “‘Whatchuwant?” “I want a job,” he said firmly, ‘‘and 8 business career.” Which only shows that the soundest of sires may be satisfactorily surprised by the sappiest of sons—sometimes.

KILL FLIES NOW AND BE COMFORTABLE IN AUGUST A Fly Killed in March Prevents the Birth of a Million Flies in June. Watch for the ‘First Fly: : ET no guilty fly escape! This is the slogan sounded by Dr. C. A. Jordan, Assistant ~ Health Commissioner, who says it isn’t too early to begin a campaign of extermination against the little pest which never uses the doormat before entering the house. When the fly flies in at the window health goes out at the door, Dr. Jordan says, and the first fly of spring which now looks like a mere speck on the horizon is merely the advance guard of an army that will sweep down on the city later in the season. lor this reason, Dr. Jordan thinks, ev- ery householder in St. Louis should watch for this first fly, and put a period to its existence. When spring is further advanced it will be possible to kill more flies with a single blow; but it will take more blows to kill all the flies. In the language of the poet: “. [were better to have hit and missed an never to have hit at all.”’ Don't be too sure there are no files about your house even in this chilly weather. The flies belong to the an- cient order of hibernators. They go into winter quarters in warm basements and come to life in the spring. They also use the warm ceilings of basements for the time the Weather is warm enough to ge without i a ol thy | jms Ich. bys a vest there is a fine crop of fly “‘springers.”’ For these reasons, Dr. Jordan says, it would be well es householders to | i nf ' ; Ls an ta fee it, a £ 7 © ees 2s 1 £49 FF = +, 2 make careful inspection of the ceilings in the vicinity of their furnaces and strike to kill when they see the first signs of fly life. aicemmnant - ee The Ratisa Menace—Poison Him HE rat is a menace... He spreads diseases, and health authorities are advising his extinction by poison; but it is not always safe or easy to do the poisoning. Here are some hints on the subject from the Med- ical Review of Reviews: Do not put polsoned pieces of bread in the open, because they may be taken by children or domestic animals; but put them in the rat holes, where they cannot be got at by human beings or domestic animals. When this is net practicable get a small box and put small pieces of pol- soned bread in a bowl, cover the bowl with a box, and bore a hole two inches in diameter in each end of the box. These holes are big enough to admit the rats, will keep out the cats, dogs and chickens. Keep track of.every piece of poison put out; thef after it has ‘been out long enough you can collect the pleces of polson which‘ remain un- touched. Rats will not take poison in places where there is plenty of other food. Therefore, to be most successful in rat poisoning the premises should be ther- oughly cleaned and all foodstuffs pro- tected from rats by the use of metal Screening or metal containers. Garbage should be placed in water-tight metal garbage cans only. A starved rat takes poison quite readily. Want a congenial young man in that spare room? Use Podét-Dispatch Wants.

HAMILTON, EARLY 70 GET IN SHAPE, WILL PITCH TODAY Stovall’s Great Southpaw Prom- ises to Be Browns’ Reliance at Season’s Start. By Clarence F. Lloyd. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. WACO, Tex., March 8.—Test No. 1 for the young Browns comes this afternoon when they line up in the first game of the 1813 season against the Waco (Texas League) team. It will be a hard test at that, despite the fact that these Texans are oonsidered inferior to the big leaguers as ball players. The Texans have had much more prep- aration for the contests than George Stovall's crowd. As an aid to the “youu , it is Manager Stovall's plan few of his experienced men in the outfield.

This start on the others means that Ham will likely be one of Stovall's early reliances when the season begins. It will be noted that the names of Pietro Compton and Luther Bonin, fly chasers, 40 not appear in the list of performers for today’s matinee. They probably won't get in action In any of the games for a week at least, either. That's because injuries prevented them from showing at their best last season. Benin Net to Be Hurried. . Bonin is the outfielder who in 8 games in the eafly part of the 198i American tion season created such a sensation at the bat and in the Seid. He broke a bone in his ankle, however, and was idle the remainder _ of the season. He reported to former Wallace last spring in Mont- wemery, apparently in good trim. But he made the mistake of playing too wlge ‘at the beginning with the re- old injury returned.

T remained for Ban Johnson to in- stitute a scheme that will be an im- provement on the former way of rating @ pitcher. It may have been noticed that it is left to Johnson to institute sbout every good thing known to the national game, within the past 10 years. Nor, despite several flings we have tak- en at the rotund boss of the American League, is there any mental regervation connected with this statement. . Ban B. has recently sent a letter to all mcorers calling attention to several changes in the official score blank. The one that concerns us most is that re- storing the “earned run” of other days. But it ie not the same earned run. This time it fs hedged about so as to make it reflect, as nearly as may be, the actual responsibility of the pitcher for each tally counted. THE 1918 “MARNED RUN.” HE instructions issued by the ex- ecutive in this letter are as fol- lows: “The pitcher is charged with an ‘earned run’ every time the player completes the circuit and scores by the ald of base hits, sacrifice hits, stolen bases, bases on bails, batsmen hit, wild pitches and balks before chances te retire the side have been offered and missed,” Thus the earned rons tell the story of the pitcher’s defense and just what it was worth. For runs due to errors, or even to clean hitting, after a chance has been offered to retire the side, will not be “earned” tallies and cannot be held against the flinger. os A CASE IN POINT.

Hereafter, when two pitchers face the Same team in an equal nufnber of games, the total runs “earned” off them will very nearly indicate their relative strength, irrespective of which was the more successful in winning games. 7. » a AS WAS APPROPRIATE.

LUMNI of Washington University have joined hands with the student body there in the endeavor to put back on the map at Francis Field the national game of baseball, which has been dropped from the school’s athletics for two seasons because of lack of funds. The petition, signed by 9 per cent of the students, asking that baseball be restored, can hardly have the effect of reinstating the game for the 1913 season, at least as fat as any intervarsity con- tests afe concerned; but it is expected to assure the school a Missouri Valley Conference representation for 1914.

RELIANGLS ALARM Harmon, Steele and Burk May’ Have Trouble Rounding to for Spring Series. By W. J. O’Connor. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. COLUMBUS, Ga., March 8.—They’re off at last. The Cardinals will collide, Regulars against Remnants, this after- noon in the first regulation game of the season. Manager Huggins will have his full team of topliners in action against a made-over nine led by Heine Peits, the ancient maskman. Peitz’ team was weakened yesterday by the loss of Ray Rolling, the second baseman, who was slated for duty at the middle hassock. Rolling was rammed amidship by I Wingo in the soccer soiree and pulled up with a bad ankle. He will be on the shelf for a week. In his absence, Peitz will station himself on second and send Frank Withrow, the catcher, to first. Manager Huggins will use the team which will face the Browns in the opening game of the spring series. Here's the full line: . REGULARS. REMNANTS. Koney 1b, Withrows ib, Huggins 2b, Peitz 2b, Whelan ss, Whitted 3b, Stansbury lf, Cathers o, Speas rf, Hildebrand o, Griner, Perrit, Sallee, Stevenson Redding p. and Hunt p. Left-Handers to Face Regulars. In selecting his pitchers Manager Hug- gins was careful to send his best south~ paws against the regulars in hope of getting hie helpmates used to the cross fire shooting of the left-handed hurlers. The Cards have found themselves help- less before the portsiders of Lynch's League for the past two years. The selection of Sallee, moreover, means that the Higginsport huuckleber- ry is the only regular hurler who fs {n shape, Sal almost always is ready to | work: Much interest will be manifest in the work of the other hurlers. Griner, Per- rit, Redding and Stevenson and Hunt are the most promising members cf Hug’s flock, and inasmuch as they will cut loose this afternoon, their work will be deeply interesting. Stevenson Makes a “Hit.” Stevenson, although frall, has shown a wonderful lot of stuff during the past two days, and he demands more than passing recognition. Indeed, Lester now looks like a formidable contender for a regular job. Speaking of pitchers, though, it is per- tinent to remark that Sallee and Jaxie Geyer are the only regulars who have profited a great deal by their stay here, Harmon is far from his best form and unless the fron man forgets vaude- ville and the wall papering business, he may not be ready for the spring se- ries. Bob had planned to make a hur- ried trip to St. Louls yesterday, but he changed his plans. It is not unlikely that Hug demurred when Bob asked for a furlough. Bob needs work and iors of it, if he’s to pitch against the Browns at the fag end of the month. Rheumatism Bothers Steele. Steele's case also is worrying the manager.

‘Bull’ Brannigan, the star of the ten-. McFarland Proves No Equal in Boxing Jack Britton Outclassed He Has World

Supremacy at Mayor of Chicago Member of Great Throng That Sees Cleverest Little Fighters in the World Battle for New York.

————— By Robert Edgren. A Speeial Correspondent ef the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 8.—Prof. Patrick Aloysius McFarland gave Jack Britton a boxing lesson at the Garden last night. The positions of master and pupil were so clearly defined that in the eighth round a piping voice called down from the top gallery: ‘“‘Hey, Morgan, get out the newspaper clippings. Hurry up.” The clippings referred to were the clip- pings from a Chicago newspaper which gave Britton “the decision” in a bout with McFarland in Memphis, Tenn., two years ago, said clippings having been in- ‘dustriously circulated ever since by Brit- ton’s manager. \ The “clippings’’ may have been con- vincing. Jack's performance in the ring wasn't. It was quite impossible, after the one or two warming-up rounds, to imagine how Britton ever could have se- oured even a “newspaper decision’ over Packey—while Packey was awake. MeFarland’s Skill Unequaled. Packey outclassed Britton just as he has outclassed dozens of fighters less clever than Britton. Packey’s combined boxing and fighting ability is still far above that of any rival He is without & peer. Britton tried his best. He fought all the way. He might have whipped any other boxer of his weight. But he couldn't even hinder McFarland. The affair had all the frills of a championship. The great Garden was packed. The men weighed in under the agreed 137 pounds at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The commission’s inspector at ringside weighed McFarland first. Ho balanced the beam at exactly 140 pounds. Britton weighed 18% pounds. Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago was at the ringside and saw the battle, while Gov. Dunne of Illinois, who was to have been present, was prevented from attending by a banquet. From the start of the opening round McFarland outdid Britton. The latter tried to be the aggressor, but McFar- land slipped and blocked his leads, made him miss easily, and in the end became the aggressor and forced his lighter opponent to give ground, exasperatin.; Britton almost to frenzy. He was cau- tioned by Referee Joh, more than one, for holding. MecFariand Becomes Aggressor. During the first few rounds Britton tangled Packey’s gloves at close quar- ters, stalled and mixed alternately. But as the fight went on Packey’s endless aggressiveness turned it into practically —_ ——_— oe eee eee Oe eee hc Oc + the Welterweight Title NEW YORK, March 3%. - claim and defend the welter- weight championship, A hun- night was good fighting weight for him, He was strong as an ox. and 133 ringside ia surely out of the question, On the other hand, Pack- vals, and with such clever boxer at the head, the welter class would and Successfully Defend ACKY Mc#"ARLAND | should dred and forty pounds ringside last At a lighter weight he'd be weak, ey can easily outclass all welter ri- regain its ancient popularity. ae a

one continual swishing and thudding of fists. It was just one mix after an- ether, Now Britton raliled and hit fast punches. Then, a second later, there came McFarland through the battle smoke, as resistiess as a steam engine on a single track, sending Britton reel- ing back to the ropes and sometimes nearly headlong through them. Next round Britton immediately mixed and slugged away with both hands. Packey blocked and rolled his head aside and took a few, then suddenly standing straight dropped his left hand te his side and stretching his right out at full length reached for Jack's chin again and again. By some miracle of Packey'’s box- ing skill Britton’s DBiows were harmlessly spending their force on thin air. Packey began to grin. He tapped Britton’s nose hard, turned his hand asd cuffed him with the back of it, hooked again and Geliberately back-handing him, nearly knocked him off hie feet. Packey was showing his absolute mastery. Britton All at Sea. From that time on Britton, game and willing, and clever, too, made many @ fine rally. He fought as well as he knew how. But MePariand’s ‘‘class’’ continued toe tell. Often Britton, missing hook and swing and jab at easy range, secing only Packey’s wide grin bobbing up perpetually before him, became bewildered. But he made a game attempt to ttirn the tide, fighting hard ali through the last two rounds. It was use- less. Packey’s left was always in his face. Once Packey put In eight lefts without « re- turn. That’s piling it on. And when Jack rushed he ran into Packey’s right, which was worse. In the tenth McParland landed the only knockdown of the ht. His tet, swung into Britton’s ribs, fairly lifted him from his feet and dropped him to his knees, The instant he touched he leaped up again. The last bell ended the mixug that followed.

FALLS ON HEAD, ‘BREAKS. NECK; LIFE MAY BE SAVED Operation at City Hospital Gives Hope for Man Who Plunged Off Platform. William Pullman, 82 years old, a la- borer, of 1006 Armstrong avenue, is alive at the city hospital with a broken neck. The doctors have hopes that an opera- tion they have performed on him will save his life. Pullman fell from a platform at a new building at Twenty-second and Gratiot streets, on which he was working Fri- day. He struck on his head and his neck was broken. He was hurried to the city hospital and a fractured piece of bone that was pressing on the spine Was removed. His head and neck were put in splints to hold the head in one po- sition and give the bones of the neck a chance to grow together. — HOSPITAL GIVES CHANCE TO FRIEDMANN “CURE” New York East Side Institution Paves Way for Test of Con- sumption Serum. NEW YORK, March &—The People’s Hospital, a small. institution on the East Side, where Dr. Friedrich Fried- mann of Berlin conducted his first treat- ment of patients in this country with his tuberculosis serum Thursday, has voted to give the young bacteriologist freedom of the hospital fur life. When Dr. Friedmann heard of the de- cision of the Board of Directors of the hospital to this effect, he was plainly pleased, for previous to his admission to the hospital he had encountered nu- merous setbacks in his plan to treat patients * this country. Dr. Friedmann did not say what ad- vantage he would take of the hospital's offer, but it was said ‘that before he Geparted Monday for a visit for Mon- treal he would probably treat as many as 100 patients.

And it may be that, their minds being once awake to invention of me- chanical devices (however value- less), they will invent some- thing really useful, Not difficult to foresee the day when male in- ventors will have to form a union to protect themselves from the women. Every trade the women have entered has been taken over by them in the end. And boys—they are chock up wit ingenuity and device. One of the following prize-winners is

Mr. Jarr’s friends humor him in his illness. EB sure to humor him!” re- a6 peated Mrs. Jarr as she uzh- ered in Messrs. Rangle, Raf- ferty and Slavinsky, the dep- utation that had come to sit up with a sick friend (Mr. Jarr the 8S. F.) There is no rarity of this sort of charity. Any amount of kind-hearted men will sit up with a sick friend—pro- vided they are permitted to smoke and to have a drop of stimulant ever and anon to sustain them. “Hello!” said Mr. Jarr, advancing to meet the sick-room visitors. There was nothing in Mr. Jarr’s ap- pearance to indicate mental or physical —oeeeee AVOID IMPURE MILK | tor Infants ena Invalids HORLICK’S Ie means the Origine! end Geauine MALTED MILK "Whottiu Imitalions The Feod-Drink for all Ages Rich milk, malted grain, in powder form.

Hadn't they seen brain fever patients before—in the movies and other theatri- cal representations? And brain fever patients, if men, always wear dressing gowns and slippers. “Well, what’s the matter?” asked Mr. Jarr, when none had answered his salu- — tation. ‘‘Where do you think you are? At an inquest?’ ‘Now, you mustn't distress yourself, my dear,’ said Mrs. Jarr in a soothing voice. ‘“‘You mustn't get excited oF worked up. Your friends have simply called to see how you are. Now sit down in your chair and don’t get ex cited.”’ ) “Yes! Yes! We come to see how you are and to ask if there is anything we can do for you,” spoke up Mr. Rangle. “Sure, we wanted to know how you feel,” said Mr. Slavinsky. And Rafferty nodded his concurrence. “T'll bet nobody put any bottled bees in the icebox!” growled Mr. Jarr. “I'll bet the box of beer wasn’t ordered.” “Why, yes it was, dear,” said Mrs. Jarr, the ministering angel. “You just bad a bottle of it.’’ “Did I?” asked Mr. Jarr, tn his best “Where am I?” manner. “My mind is a blank.” “You don’t forget you lost 90 cents te me at bid penuchle when you hadn't any change?’ asked Mr. Slavinaky in some alarm. ‘Yes, yes, I forget that, too,” said Mr. Jarr, shaking his head. ‘Mother, these unfortunate alcoholics are prob- ably dying of thirst. Get some of the beer.’’ , The visitors started up at the word “alcoholics.” But Mra. Jarr, with & pitying look, appealed to them as though asking them to remember Mr, Jarr as he had been—before he was threatened with brain fever from overwork. “I am thirsty,” said Rafferty when Mrs. Jarr had Gertrude bring tn tte bottled beer. “I got a fine Virginia ham sent me the other day, and we cut the first slices from it for breakfast this morning.’’ ‘Virginia ham?” cried Mr. Jarr. “Ah, I must have Virginia ham! Get me the Virginia ham! Send for the Vir- ginia ham at once! Do yeu hear? Ai once!’’ ' “Sure!” coincided Slavinsky. (It wasn’t their Virginia ham.) Mr. Rafferty, with a sigh, went to the telephone and called up his wife and (not without some difficulty in making his wife see how those threatened with brain fever must be humored) got the Virginia ham on its way around te the Jarr apartments. “Sick people have those longings,” said Mr. Rangle. “When my wife got the grip she craved for champagne. And a friend of mine jn the wine business sent us a case when he heard of it When Mrs. Rangle got well she never touched it. There’s six bottles ileft now.”’ “Just what I want!” cried Mr. Jarr. “A nice cold bottle! How can I eat Virginia ham without a cold bottle?’ “You'll have to humor him!” cried Mr. © Rafferty. “Send for the six bottles. Slavinsky, !t’s your turn next!” “I should worry!” replied the glazier — blandly. “If mit this Drain sickness - Mr. Charr wants to eat glass and get a pane in his stomach, let him!” And he laughed merrily at the quaint conceit.
