_ Next Sunday Post-Dispatch IONE MORE ITALIAN MISSOURI SENATE WILL INVESTIGATE WAGES OF WOMEN Resolution by Kinney, Also Cov- ering Pay to Children, Is Quickly Adopted. STORE AND FACTORY QUIZ St. Louis Included in Inquiry Into Charge Low Salary Causes Immorality. ae By J, J. McAULIFFE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, JEF- FERSON CITY, March 13.—Sweeping inquiry into the wages earned by wom- en and children in Missouri is proposed in a resolution introduced by Senator Kinney of St. Louis today. The reso- lution, drawn by Senator Wilson of Platte County, President pro tem. of the Senate, is said to have resulted from an informal cenmference of Democratic legislative leaders. The Senate adopted the resolution without a dissenting vote. On motion of Bronson of Christian, the appropyia- tion for the expenses of the committee was increased from $2000 to $3000. The resolution was amended further to make ¥ Yjeutenant-Governor Painter a member s of the Investigating Committee. Sena- tor Kinney probably will be made chair- man. It is expected that the investigation, will be confined to St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph. The pur- pose of the legistative investigation is te determine the wage scale of women and children who work in the large mer- cantile and manufacturing’ establish- ments, to the end that a reasonable and practicable minimum wage bill may be passed by the General Assembly in 1915. The resolution, in part, follows: “Whereas, the wages paid women workers in relation to the standard of living necessary to maintain their health and preserve their strength, as well af that'of their children, is a matter of grave concern to the State, and “Whereas, it is contended that the Wage scale paid women and children in certain trades and occupations is be- low that which is necessary to maintain such standard of living, “Therefore,- be~it-.resolved that a "committee of five Senators be ap- pointed by the President of the Sen- ate for the purpose of making full “yestigation of the ¢ondition of said ‘age scale as applicable to said vomen and children in relation to i proper standard of living, and that said committee be authorized to em- ‘ploy a sergeant-at-arms and a © stenographer to assist it in making a full and comprehensive investiga- tion. Provides for Expense. “Said committee shall make report of their Investigation on or before thirty days before the convening of the next General Assembly and shall cause to be printed at least 3000 copies thereof for ' general distribution.” As the committee's hearings will be held after the adjournment of the pres- ent Legislature, the committee canno: legally compel the attendance of wit- nesses or force an unwilling witness tu testify. The moral pressure on persons sum- moned to give testimony will be so strong, Senator Wilson said, that few witnesses will dare to ignore the com- mittee’s questions. “The quiz wiil be directed to all lines of commercial ana industrial activity, he said.

A literary German printer has mud- died the political situation at Belleville more than ever, notwithstanding. that it already had been made somewhat tur- gid by the multiplicity of candidates. It begins to look as if Fritz Kretsch- mer’s chances to be Inspector of Weights and Measures will be deter- mined by whether the Classicals or the Moderns are in a majority. The sad thing about it, point of view, is that Ne adn’t any idea of starting anythins <:f the kind. He had enough on his i.ands to fight the claims of 15 rival candidates for the office,, without engaging in any rhilological controversy. After Fritz had announced for the cffice, he thought it would be a nice thing to have a candidate’s card printed for getieral circulation. General circi- lation’in Belleville usually includes Ger- man circulation. So Fritz hurried to a German printing shop and told the com- positor what he wanted. Make It Concise, Neat. “Make it concise and neat,’’ he said. “Don’t put too many words on it. I want something the boys can get at a glance, you understand.” “Ja wohl!’’ answered the compositor. The printer set up a “form,” took a proof of it and found it looked some- thing like this: eeeeCeereeeeeee eee seer eeeees £8 FF Bees eeeeeeeeeetear from Fritz’s FRITZ KRETSCHMER Candidat fuer Herr. Untersuchungs Rath der Waage Schalen und Abmass Cartel- “Himmel!” said the printer. “Sim- ple! Neat! See it at a glance. Long and patiently the printer toiled over the card. He reset it in different sizes of type. The smallést jlettefs he could find could not get the “Herr Untersuchungs Rath der Waage Schalen und Abmass Cartellen” on the card in a single line. Yet that is the modern German translation of “Inspector of Weights and Measures.” And then the literary compositor be- thought him of his Deutsches Woerter- buch. He took the volume down, and turned through it. In.triumph he closed the book and set up another ‘form.’’ This time the card appeared this way: € FRITZ KRETSCHMER, Candidat fuer Aichmeister. et ~ * “Aichmeister!” exclalmed Kretsch- mer when he saw the cari. ‘‘Was fuer ein— What the samhill is an Aichmeister? Um running for In- spector of Weights and Measures! I'm no Aichmeister!”’ Woerterbuch Upholds Him. Withering him with a look the printer showed him the Woerter- buch. And there, plain as print, Kretschmer saw that in honest-to- goodness, classical highbrow German an Aichmeister is a keeper of gauges. Kretschmer admitted he was dubious about springing that upon the pro- letariat, but he took the cards along and began distributing them. Now every time he hands a card he has to explain was fuer ein Gink an Aichmeister is. He admitted Thursday that the Classicals of Belleville have received the Aichmeister with joy, but that he is troubled over the way the explanation is received by some of the non-classicals. “They listen all right,’’ he remarked pensively, ‘‘but all they say is ‘So!’ I don’t feel exactly easy about that

NORVELL WRITING A PAMPHLET ON Init CAMPAIGN Will Tell How He Got Into It and Why, as He Sees It, He Failed of Nomination.

TITLE—HOW IT. HAPPENED

Says Harry. Hawes Promised Newspaper Support and In- cluded the Post-Dispatch.

Saunders Norvell, defeated candidate for the Democratic mayoralty nomina- tion, is writing a pamphlet which, he says, will tell “How It Happened.” It will, he says, be a complete history of his campaign and give his views as to why he was defeated. A Post-Dispatch reporter went to Nor- vell Thursday to obtain from him an authoritative account uf his address at a meeting of the Men’s Club of the First Presbyterian Church Tuesday night. In this address Norvell said support promised to him by Harry B. Hawes, former Democratic leader, was not de- livered, While the organized political in- tluence pledged by Hawes stood by him, Norvell said, the representations made by Hawes as to newspaper support were not borne out. Republicans Contributed. In his address Norvell said the names of contributors to his campaign funds of $9000 and $10,000 were not made p'ib- lic because many of them were Re- publicans and their donations were ac- cepted with the understanding that their names would not be made known. He told of a meeting at the J ferson Club six years ago,. when, he said, the six Democratic nominees fur the Council were “driven like cattle’ to the Jefferson Club. Dr. John H. Simon, now the Demo- : cratic mayoralty candidate, Norvell said, stood behind a desk and questioned each ‘lof the Council candidates as to their at- titude on political patronage, telling them that they could not expect the} party organization to support them un- less they would promise that they, as Councilmen, would approve all of the appointments submitted to them by the Mayor in the event that a Democratic Mayor was chosen. Al! the Council can- didates made this promise, Norvell said. After telling what he sald at the Men’s Club meeting, Norvell said: “T will have more to say, too. I am writing a pamphlét whieh wili tell how it happened. It will be a complete his- tory of my, campaign. IT don’t care. I have nothing to lose and I'll tell it all. “Harry B. Hawes came to me and of- fered me his support. Naturally Tt asked him what newspapers.he could control. He told me he had the Post- Dispatch and the’ Times. He said he couldn’t get the Republic, because he had a feud on with Gov. f¢rancis. “The Times was very nice throughout the campaign. It wasn’t aggressive, but it treated me nicely. The Post-Dispatch knifed me at the last minute. If I hadn't thought Hawes had the Post-Dis- Dispatch I never would have gone into the campzrign. I will tell all about these promises of Hawes in my pamphlet. I will tell a lot abou’ Gov. Francis, too. Will Not Spare Anybody. “IT am not going to spare anybody and I'll teil just how I got into this thing and exactly why I was beaten.” Norvell was asked whether his pam- phiet would contain his statements «as to the summoning of the Democratic Council candidates and the patronaxe pledge exacted froin them by Dr. Simon. “It surely will,”’ he said. The reporter asked Norvell how this intention coincided with his recent an- nouncement at public meetings that he would support Dr. Simon as the party’s candidate. “That's all right,’’ he said. “‘Kiel is a machine politician, too. As between him and Simon I will support the candi- date of my own party. But I am going to tell the truth.’’ Asked what effect he thought the pub- lication of his pamphlet might have on the mayoralty campaign, he said: “Well, my pamphlet may not be pub- lished until after the election.” LOWER TEMPERATURE WITH RAIN FRIDAY THE TEMPERATURES.

Sender Said Man in House Was Smashing Glass and Bric-a-Brac.

The reports. of three patroimen it- tached to tné Newstead Avenue Police District tell of a series of disturbances which excited ‘the neighborhood of Lin- dell boulevard and Sarah street, early Wednesday morning. The patrolmén were summoned to the residence of George C. R. Wagoner, 4167 Lindell boulevard, by telephone mes- sages, which stated that a man was creating a disturbance there by break- ing dishes, cut glass and bric-a-brac. Patrolman Edward H. Kosche, who re- sponded to the first call for help, says he found the plate glass knocked from the front door and a heavy piece of scantling lying on the front steps. Wag- oner catne down-from an upper’ floor and admitted him, he says, when rang the doorbel'. . Wagoner asked the policeman, ‘abcora- ing to the latter’s report, what he want- ed, and the policeman in turn asked Wagoner the same question, adding that he had come in response to a telephone call that a man was disturbing the peace at the Wagoner home. Advised to Go to Bed, Wagoner told Kosche there had been no disturbance. He said he had broken the door open with the scantling when his repeated rings for admission had been unanswered. As no one was pres- ent to make a complaint the policeman saw no occasion for an arrest, he re- ported, but he asked Wagoner to go to bed because, he says, the latter ap- peared to be nervous and excited. Kesche remained in front of the Wagoner home, he says, until after daylight, during whicn time there was no further disturbance. At about 10:40 a. m. Patrolman Ketts went to the Wagoner home in response ic a second telephone message that a man was creating a disturbance there. He reperted back to the station that everything was quiet and that there Was no occasion for an arrest. He said some dishes and cut glass had he the Third Baptist Church, and a per- sonal friend of Eilers, told him hy telephone of this incident. He said that, when the proposed mill tax com- promise was under discussion more than a year ago, a director of the United Railways had been told by an acquaint- ance that the directors would be foo's to pay the city $1,000,000 in the compru- mise, as they could get all they wanted PASTOR RELATES HOW THIEF WON “HIS WIFE AWAY ssi etm him of the conversation, and added that he rejected the suggestion, Dr. Williamson’s conversation with’ Bilers was ovérheard by city hall -e- porters, who, through @n accidental crossing of wires, were connected with Eilers’ wire while Dr. Williamson was liking on it.

Nestor K. Cla:kson. The woman is his wife, who since has been deserted by the man, Owen .D. Conn, held in Sa1 Francisco on a charge of stealing jewc'ry worth $100,000. Conn; was shot in the leg when he tried to escape. Two years ag Mrs. Clarkson, who is 30 years of age and attractive, accom- panied her husband on a visit to the county jail. They had been married 12 years and lived happily. She was a mission worker. at 18 and they married when working sido by side. They met Conn. Heiis 3, insinuat- ing, persuasive, good looking, but a crook with a Icng record. He was charged with burglary. He told Mrs. Clarkson that he was innocent. She was deeply impressed with his story. She called several times and brought food and dainties to him. She gave a Bible to him and many tracts describ- ing the ‘“‘better life.’ She came fre- quently unaccorpanied by her husband. Then Chicago fcund that Milwaukee had a better case against the thief. He was taken there, convicted of larceny and sentenced tu a year in ‘the Wau- pun Penitentiary. There she correspond- ed with him, his letters being of a sen- timental tone. promising reformation. Conn was released last fall and came Girect to the home of the Clarkson family. He lived under the same roof with the woman. The husband found one of the prisoner’s letters.and asked Conn to leave the house. Conn wrote, admitting the justice of the minister's position, but declaring he had never harbored a dishonorable thought toward his benefactors. The thief continued to make his home in the house and Christmas eve the ter ‘later, he satd he did not care to discuss it. Dr. Williamson's Statement. Dr. Willfamson,: when called by tel- éphone ‘by @ Post-Dispatch reporter, at first said that he believed the pub- lication ‘of anything about his tele- phone conversation with Hilers would be an outrage. Later he was told the cirewmstances under which the .conversation was héard and was told that an account of it would be published, He then said: “If you must publish it, let me tell you the facts. “Quite a while ago, several months at least, a director of the United Rail- ways Co. said in a private conversa- tion: ‘A man asked me yesterday why the United Railways wanted to pay §$1,000,- “006 on this mill tax compromise when we could buy:that whole bunch for $50,- (00.’ “The United Rattwage director added: ‘I have no desire to go to the peniten- tiary. I never bribed anybody ana I never will.’.”’ Dr. Williamson said he did not think this expression of the director indicated that the United Raliways had any cor- rupt intentions. He added that he did not believe the person who made the $50,000 reward had any authority to pseak for the Municipal Assembly. He thought the reward was @& casual one, in the nature of gossip. _ —

He talked with the man in the hallway outside of his office with- in the hearing of other lawyers occupy- ing the same suite, he said. When the claim agent insisted on talk- ing to him in his office, Hilers went (o the door of his office and stood there, he declared. The claim agent, he said, walked to the opposite side of the room and wanted him to follow, so that their conversation would not be overheard. Eilers refused to enter the room, he stated, and’ caused the man‘ to’ talk ‘to’ him across the room, and their words were heard by others. The claim was not settled. As was told in the late editions of Wednesday's Post-Dispatch, Eilers said that the offer of legal -employ- ment, in connection with certain pat- ents, was made to him by James Brady, a claim agent for the United Railways Co. Eilers’ conversation with Brady and with Capt. Robert McCulloch, president of the company, as to this matter, was heard, by means of an extension tele- phone, by a Post-Dispatch reporter and a stenographer, who took down all that was said. The presence of the reporter and the stenographer was arranged for by Etil- ers, who took this precaution against a denial of his story by other persons concerned. f He did this, he declared, because he thought it improper for a corporation to offer employment or emolument to any minember of a legislative body which is considering a bill affecting that cor- poration, and particularly the chairman of*the committee having charge of th: bill.

Says, that he is trying to legislate “Bidener out of offict, particularly as _ Bidener | ran against him for the Cir- “euit Attorneyship. As he originally pre- ‘~-Ppared the bill, it was to take effect ee the end of Sidener’s term, in 1915, but he believes it would be much better to make it effective at once. If the “Present Legislature does not abolish the _ office, he says, a new incumbent, for a four-year term will be elected an No- vember, 1914, before the next Legislature » Convenes, and the opposition, on per- | | g0nal grounds, to the abolition of the office would have much more force than it now has. System Caused Confusion. Harvey's reason for desiring the Pros- ecuting Attorney’s office abolished is that the present two-prosecutor system Causes confusion, delay and needless ex- pense. Under the present system the Circuit Attorney has jurisdiction over felony cases, and the Prosecuting At- -torney over misdemeanor cases. The boundary line between these two classes is, for practical Purposes, a somewhat Di hazy one. A man who steals $30 com- ) mits a felony, one who steals $29.99 com- “Y , mits a misdemeanor,: and in assault 4, ©ases the distinction depends on the cir- cumstances. y persons daily visit the Circuit h ¥ Attorney’s office, Harvey says, and _. make statements which are taken dow:r Me a shorthand reporter, only to de- 5 bp the fact that the offense which the charge is not a felony, to be pros- * vecuted by the Circuit Attorney, but a _._ Snisdemeanor, to be prosecuted by the _ Prosecuting Attorney, When they go to “the Prosecuting Attornéy’s’ office, ‘the , Same stenographic process must be re- “ peated. Then, if the Prosecuting Attor- - prone. differing from the Circuit Attorney, x , thinks the case a felony, he may send ” ‘the complainant back to the Circuit At- ~ torney. Often, Harvey says, it happens that . while a felony is charged, the evidence | ~ makes it appear advisable to ask con- zm “ viction only for a misdemeanor. The » Circuit Attorney cannot do this, and tf ~ the Prosecuting Attorney chooses to stands om the fact that the offen charged fs, technically, a felony, th d person may escape prosecution. ¥ Involves New Prosecu 7e ¥ Cases in which the Circuit Attorney ‘4 , office issues informations, charging fe!- * nies, are sent to the Court of Crimi- Mal Correction for preliminary hearing. «If the facts disclose only a misdemea:- on or, the Court cannot convict of a mis- demeanor, but must dismiss the cass (.> and await the starting of a new prose- _ cution by the Prosecuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction. This piles up the costs, and delays the hear- fng of cases, and often keeps accuse] Persons needlessly in jail. These need- less costs and the cost of keeping the prisoners in jail were figured up for Harvey by William L. Fitzgerald, who has made affidavit that there were 209 Sysuch cases in 1912, and that the cost e+ tec an tahoe was $6408.70. @ \ a) je ' » x) ‘Ss Pm for 30c, or, for each pair.... ig and loc Cotton and Liste Hoes Men's and &@omen's J0c and 5c Hose Suits, we offer you the choice of these well-made lack and tan f n, black | itrer end all elute foe sha ‘with In this lot there are combined a special : garments at this bargain price; made. up in the double. heels and toes and elas- 9 C lot of 20c' and 190 Hose, both “hp | { latest fabrics and colors; special, while they 1) 3)

bh the freshness of an egg a ques- tion of psychology? Is a chicken better food when it @as been kept a year or two after ‘being killed and dressed than when it is freshly killed? Both these questions were answered absolutely in the affirmatiye by ex- perts testifying Wednesday evening before the joint committee of the Council and the House of Delegates that is investigating the cost of liv- ing. Royall H. Switzler, St. Louls food ex- pert, put under oath, as were all wit- nesses, told that the question of the freshness of an egg was largely a mat- ter of psychology and that the great- est expert living could not tell the dif- ference between an egé& in cold storage nine ‘months and one of the kind com- monly denominated fresh which reach the retail market almost directly from the farmer. Fresh Chickens Dangerous. Mies N. E. Pennington, chief of the Food Research Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Philadelphia, testified that a chicken which had been killed the day before Was dangerous to eat. She said she ' ‘would absolutely refuse to eat a freshly killed bird. The ideal chicken, she said, was one that had been held in storage nine months or a year. When one had been kept two years in storage, she gaid, it began to lose its flavor. ‘i The high c: st of living hearing was in >. the Council chamber in the city hall. It > was attended by Councilmen Randall and Fietcher and Delegates Scully and Hale. Councilman Randall is chairman of the committee. Miss Pennington, the Government ex- pert, was on the witness stand nearly two hours. She stopped in St. Louis Wednesday to address a convention of shippers, and was persuaded to appear before the cost of living investigators. She is a tall, kéen looking woman, with snappy black eyes, and has a con- cise and “positive way of answering "§ questions. ™ “One of the chief elements in the high Pe cost of living problem,” began Miss > Pennington, “‘is the frightful amount of "gwaste. The money value of eggs in the "United States each year is $500,000,000. og : this, 10 per cent, or $50,000,000, is dead Mioss because of waste in wmar- keting the eggs. Somewhere between the hen and the consumer $50,000,000 yorth of eggs have gone to nothing. “The poultry products of the country mount each year to $250,000,000, and gain there is a 10 per cent loss, or one mounting to $25,000,000.”’ “Noe Enough Cold Storage.” “So,” interrupted’ Delegate Scully, we save 90 per cent in spite of cold torage?” “In spite of it? Why, my dear sir, me we haven't nearly enough of it. The waste commences and by far the reater part of it develops on the farm,” retorted Miss Pennington. ’ “The farmer doesn’t gather his ees quickly enough. He lets them prosper in the incubator of the sum- mer sun. Then they go to a store eeper where they are held for a ime in a warm room. Afterward a great quantity of our eggs is shipped n non-refrigerated box cars that are excellent incubators. In the course 7of three or four weeks this alleged ‘fresh egg’ reaches the city market. “It is the good cold storage eggs and poultry that Missouri and adjoining Sstates send out to East and West coast. The poor fresh product, you keep at home. And, maybe, one reason there is so much complaint here is because | you get so little of the cold storage food. ; “To get a fresh egg or a good chick- ;@n out of cold) storage it must have 5 been a fresh efg or a good chicken when it went into storage. “To begin with, there are few who kill their chickens in the right way.

PUTNEY, England, March 13.—Ox- ford won the annual boat race with Vambridge on the Thames today by a quarter of a length. “y The start was at 4:38 o’clock. Cam- bridge took the lead at once and was & length in front at the middle dis- tance. Oxford overhauled her in the last quarter mile. The course was 4% miles Oxford's time was 20m. 53s. The Oxford crew, the favorite, had a distinct advantage during the training season owing to its greater opportunity for practice on the Thames. The Cam- bridge crew in its preliminary training ig restricted to the little River Cam. The Oxford crew, half of them vet- » @rans of last year’s famous eight, was heavier than any that has occupied a Dark Blue shell in many years. The Cambridge men, lighter and less expe- rienced than their opponents, neverthe- less showed themselves fighters during the training and were declared today to be in top form. They were pronounced by experts the best crew from the Cam in a decade. Great precautions were taken to guard against any outbreak by militant suf- fragettes which might mar the race. The boat houses were watched with great vigilance throughout the night and Women were forbidden to stand on the bridge under which the racing crews All boats along the course were com- | pelled to come at an anchor except the | the race. . a steamers officially authorized ta follow An effort was made to keep women off the river during the contest, a but this was found ffnpracticable.

CETTINJE, Montenegro, March 13.— News reached here today that four Ser- vian transports loaded with troops yes- terday were riddled with shells fired by un unidentified war vessel. -Aécounts of the engagement from two different sources declare that the at- tacking vessel flew the Austro-Hunga- rian flag. Number Killed Unreported. The transports were conveying strong Getachments of Servian troops to assist the Montenegrins in their siege of the fortress of Scutari. The attack on the four boats occurred off San Giovanni Gi Medua. Two of the transports were set on fire. The number killed and in- jured has not been reported, No official account of the en- gagement was available this morning and unofficial dispatches from San Gio- i vanni di Medua varied considerably. Ac- cording to one account, the. attacking ship was the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh, which is alleged to have been flying the colors of .Austro-Hungary. Another report doubts the war ves- sel was the Hamidieh at all, and says that the cruiser resembled a vessel of the Austrian Kaserin class. Feeling Against Austria High. Feeling against Austria has been high here since Tuesday, when .the Austrian Minister to Servia announced that his Government objected to.Servian troops assisting in the siege of Scutari. Today's news of the attack on the Servian transports, therefore, created a tremendous sensation here. In. official circles, however, no credence was given lating to the Austrian flag. Officials declared that the attacking vessel un- doubtedly was the Hamidieh, which was reported in the vicinity a few hours be- fore, and added that the Turkish cruiser would have no reason for hoisting false colors. ‘Turkey About Ready to Cede Adrian- ople to Allies. LONDON, -March 13,—The Times’ Constantinople correspondent reports: “The Committee on Union and Progress has informed the Grand Vizier that it is now prepared to agree to the cession of Adrianople if the garrison is allowed to march out with its arms and join the Turk- ish forces at Tchtalja.” The Daily Chronicle Constantinople correspondent telegraphs: “Constantinople is full of rumors as to impending fall of Adrianople. The local papers report that a tele- gram has been received from the Governor announcing that he has pufficient provisions.’ I have good authority for believing that the tele- gram as it appears has been drastic- ally censored and that in its original form the message read, ‘sufficient provisions for four days,’ dating from March 10,’” i.

UN DAY HE DIED SAYS PROSECUTOR Was in No Danger Until Hyde Gave Cyanide Capsule, Jacobs Tells Jury. eee KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 13.—‘‘Col. Swope was not a sick man on the day of hig death. He was not in danger and his condition was improving right up to the convulsion that caused death. Twenty minutes after Dr. Hyde admin- istered a certain capsule he was dead. Twenty minutes is the exact time re- quired for cyanide poison to act.’’ These were the declarations of Prosecutor Jacobs in his argument to the jury to- day in the third Hyde murder trial. The accused sat impassively staring at the Prosecutor who, delivered his| charge in snappy, positive sentences. Mrs. Hyde sat as near her husband as the Court’s ruling permitted. Mrs. Logan O. Swope, who has pushed the prosecution through thfee years, sat in the front row clad in black, The courtroom Was crowded to the doors.

Keeping house has always been my chief busi- ness. I am sure I’ve made as conscien- tious a study of it as my husband has of his profession. I’ve endeavored to keep abreast of the times in domestic science, as he has in his science of eco- nomics. I have always enjoyed society, too, when it has meant the meeting or bringing together of interesting people. Of course, such possibilities in Washing- ton will be unlimited. I already have some very dear friends there, among them Mrs. Burleson, with whom I grew up in Houston. Ags to the formal.enter- tainments expected of a Cabinet mem- ber’s wife, I am told so many of the customs in Washington are cut and dried matters of following established precedents and that all you've got to do is to ask some authority on thege sub- jects and follow instructions. “Mrs. Cleveland, whose social success has never been questioned, they tell me, always appealed to Mrs. Endicott for advice. Today there are several of these persons of recognized authority to whom one may appeal.”’ Mrs. Houston’s lines never before have been cast in political society, but South- ern graciousness, tact and warm cor- diality are her heritage.

POLICE HOLD GIRL AND SUITOR ALL NIGHT IN STATION Release of Myrtle Schultz to Her Mother’s Custody Follows Detention.

After being held all night in the matron’s detention room at Police Head: quarters, Myrtle Schultz, 19 years old, was permitted to return to the home of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Voss, at $667 Finney avenue, Thursday. Harold Klein, 21 yeurs old, of 6746 Nashville avenue, who was taken into custody with Miss Schultz when he met her at Union Station on her return from Chicago Wednesday night, also was re- jeased. Miss Schultz says she and Klein are engaged to be married. Miss Schultz and a girl friend, Ger- trude Taylor, went to Chicago 10 days ago. She says it was her intention to visit her father, August Schultz, whom she had not seen for 16 years. When she arrived there, she says, her stepmother forbade her to enter the house and she appealed to the Chicago police to aid her in returning to St. Louis. The Chicago police notified the St. Louis police that they were sending Miss Schultz home and two detectives were at the train when she arrived. When they found a young man waiting for her they held both pending an investigation. Klein told the police that he merely in- tended to take the young woman to her mother’s home. : Miss Schultz’s mother, Mrs. Margaret Schultz, attracted attention. in August, 1912, when she became the bride of Har- ry Voss, 20 years old. Mrs. Schultz was 35. It was said at the time that Voss had once been Miss Schultz's sweet- heart and that after the girl had jilted him he wooed and won the mother. -Voss’ parents threatened to bring suit to have the marriage afinulled, saying that he had been unduly influenced to marry a woman old enough to be his mother. “It is true that my present stepfather was once my sweetheart,’ said Miss Schultz Thursday. “But since he mar- riled mamma we have got along very well together. I didn’t leave home be- PAGES 13—24 |

——_ on toma ———- THE FREEHOLDERS ’ TICKET. The Democratic convertion strengthened the bipartisan freeholders’ ticket with several ex- cellent nominations. Taking th- both partfes, probably enough men of light and leading have been named for the board to frame

a good charter and to win public confidence and support. The combined ticket is at least free in the main from men who are compromised by coen- nections with special interests and whose par- ticipation in the work of the board will cloud the charter with suspicion of privilege. It has the merit of fairly representing the various ele- ments in the city. It cannot be charged with being a “Sig Cinch” ticket. While we believe improvements could have been made in several particulars we hope for the best. With open hearings, free suggestions and full discussion of charter clauses there is no reason why there should not be submitted to the voters a modern, simplified, efficient and satis- factory charter. The thirteenth member is important, as he -will probably preside in the board. He should be not less. Strong, independent, well-equipped and es- teemed than Frederick W. Lehmann, who pre- sidéd in the late board and whose labors will be ‘of great value to the new board. The only vital ‘ objection’ charged. “against the defeated charter was the lack of the recall and the un- satisfactory nature of the conditions relating to the initiative and referendum. This may easily be rectified. 4

Li i — = The decision of the Commerce Court, that Con- gress hag no power to declare interstate pipe lines common carriers, reads just like the Commerce Court.

i » rr HANDBOOK GAMBLING OUTLAWED. ‘The Supreme Court holds that the law against handbook swindling in Missouri has teeth. When an offender is tried on the charge of operating the familiar paraphernalia by which a flourish- ing handbook business is recognized and of re- ceiving bets, it is not necessary to bring wit- nesses from distant Latonia or Windsor or other tracks to prove that races were in progress there at the time. The purposes of justice do not re- quire that the equine entries shall actually be offered as exhibits in evidence before a case under the statute is established. By overruling in recent cases ingenious tech- nicalities that might have had» force with the court at an earlier day, the present Justices place {t within the power of the police to prevent any revival of policy, race track and other gambling. The.last remnants of what was-only a few years ago a strongly orgeniaed evil in St. Louis are wiped out. '' ROUBLE AT THE FRONT. Waco, Texas, sends. mournful tidings of the dis- sdenfiture of our ‘War correspondent who is down *

Bilers than that of an attempt to influence improperly his | action on the seat-for-each-passenger bill. The tempting to bribe seems to cover the transaction as reported in a late edition of yesterday’s Post- Dispatch. Eilers as Chairman of the House Railroad Com- mittee held the fate of the measure in his hands and still has it under consideration. In these cir- cumstances, two weeks ago, ne states, the United | Railways claim agent called him up by telephone }and- offered him’ some legal employment for. the company. The’ offer was confirmed or’ repeated = yesterday in a telephone conversation between Mr. Hilers and Mr. Brady, the claim agent, and another conversation between Mr. Eilers and Capt. McCulloch, both of which were overheard by wit- nesses. . 3 The question of whether an offer of legal em- | ployment amounts to'a “valuable consideration” within the meaning of the bribery statute is one for the Circuit Attorney and the Grand Jury pri- marily, but there can be no question of its moral purport... Certainly the Grand Jury will be justi- fled in inquiring into the matter generally to dis- cover whether any other offers have been made ‘to members of the assembly by the United Rail- ways in connection with the same Dill. The public is fairly justified in wanting to know whether other members of the House and Council have been similarly approached with offers of bus- iness or other considerations, and whether any such offers have been accepted. The Grand Jury may be able to throw some light upon the disaster which a great and meritorious public measure has suffered. The offer of Brady and McCulloch to Eilers has clouded the entire record of the measure. Will the members of the Municipal Assembly them- selves undertake to purge the record and remove the ugly suspicion of improper influence? py, Le a is All of the investigations into human misery and wrong-doing lead to poverty as the monstrous curse of society. And in most cases poverty is man-made.

i Le Li ~~ = = A MAYOR, NOT A REPORTER, MR. KIEL. ‘Mr. Kiel promises, if elected Mayor, to give to the public every Saturday afternoon an account of his. stewardship for’ the week. It may be believed that in reportorial work re-) lating to his own official acts, ho Mayor would have thé disinterestod viewpoint and touragé es- sential to results of the highest value for the pub- lic. Should another Southern Traction franchis» receive approval, the executive report of it Sat- urday afternoon probably would not specify the name of the particular boss who dictated the grant nor: ‘the. nature of the pressure | he brought to bear. It might dwell on the great benefits to the community of expanded interurban facilities, but would not..tell anything about the unneces- sary surrender of city assets in jug-handled terms. It would contain no details about the quid pro quo in political support provided for in the deal. Whoever is elected, the people will depend after April 1,-a8 ‘heretofore, on ‘the experienced news- paper corps at.the city hall for authentic infor-

Mayor’s record. A report by the Mayor himself would have only credit items, it is to be feared. The people are not looking for any official re- inforcement to that corps. They are looking for a man who is big enough to be Mayor, who will be on the Mayor’s job all the time, who will be too busy being a big Mayor to find time to act as a municipal reporter. The Post-Dispatch, at least, will not relinquish its function of.reporting the conduct of the next Mayor and his administration, should Mr. Kiel be elected. We will not substitute the Mayor’s report o? his actions and motives for disinterested, ac- caress anid complete newspaper repo. £ ‘We -_ ee o a pes he — Though they are using the dictograph in the best circles, Roy Eilers preferred the telephone. La —. VOTES FOR NEGRO WOMEN. The subterfuge on which a few Democratic lead- ers are offering belated opposition to the equal suffrage amendment at Jefferson City, is not im- pressive. The Republican vote of the State will be increased, they say, by the enfranchisement of negro-women. As-the negro population of all.ages is only a little more than 4 per cent of the total population, the prospect is not particularly fear- some, even to ultra partisans. As a matter of fact the reasonable expectation is that the vote of all parties would be increased in about the Same pro- portion. . The-votes of women who might naturally be ex- pected to support Republitan principles would be offset by the votes of loyal Missouri. women who might naturally be expected to support Demo- cratic principles.

- » s — ae ‘MINIMUM. WAGE PROBLEM. The subject of a minimum wage for. working women has bécome of national interest because of the annonncement that five of the etates will join with Illinois in investigating it. Others are almost certain to take the matter up.. The movement has its ofigin in the suggestion that low wag-s for gitls and women induce immorality. alt is: not'a new subject for investigation and leg- islation. In 1911 a minimum-wage board was organized by law in Great Britain, which .fixed a minimum wago for both men and women in the!

wt, ract| vlothing ‘and tailoring industries, the minimum wage fixed for men being 25 shilling and sixpence, ,jand for womer. 4 shillings and tenpence. These rates affected 30,000 workers. language of the statutes defining bribery and at-| }to think I left unanswered and entirely to dis- |} was an idea in it of what the subject meant and mation. about. debit and ,credit items in the new] this tegistation fas practically abolished sweatins. In Australia the laws ‘providing for minimum wage rates are so worded as to give the worker a share tn the benefits that inure to the indus- try through the protective tariff laws. Germany also has enacted legislation prohibiting wages below a certain minimum supposed to be sufficient to insure the worker -gainst extreme poverty and degradation. The testimony of some Chicago employers that & wage of $2 a day can be paid to women, as an average minimum, without increase of prices to the purchasing public, will probably bring out a mass of evidence to the contrary in regard to the smaller establishments. It is a recognized prin- ciple that State regulation of wages can only be attempted within narrow limits. Any rate which the state of trade and prices. could not bear could not be enforced without widespread injury to em- ployers, and,,incidentally, to the workers them- selves. The only American State which has thus far attempted wage regulation on the basis of a mini- mum wage is Massachusetts. The legislators there recognized the difficulty of the prcblem by refusing to give the wage commission power to enforce its finaings.

= = LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE .° Pan-Germanism Explained. _ Fe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you permit me to call attention through your columns to some statements made in your columns this week in regard to my book, “Pan- Germanism.” You say that I tell “everything about it (Pan-Germanism) except what it is and what Pan-Germanists would do with it if they cculd.” On page 11 a somewhat more careful reader would have found the following summary of the definition of Pan-Germanism, which had occupied the preceding pages: “Pan-Germanifsm is therefore, in the first place a defensive move- ment for self-preservation, for escaping the pres- sure of France and Russia, both bent on her de- struction. It is, in the second place, an offensive movement directed against England, its obfect, the conquest of the English possessions in the Mediterranean and in Asia. She (Germany) ex- pects thus to obtain an outlet for her surplus population and manufactures and to create an empire as little vulnerable politically, economi- cally or strategically as any the world has yet seen.” I believe these sentences are a suffici- ently explicit answer to the questions you seem

prove your statements that I had written a book without telling what it was all about. You also attribute to me the Pan-German [dea of England’s weakness. I was-so anxious to avoid this precise impression, which happens to be contrary to my own beliefs, that I added to the paragraph in question a long footnote ex- plicitly disclaiming any responsibility for the ac- curacy of the idea. I am entirely willing to allow you and your reviewers all possible latitude of personal opin- ion and care not at all whether you agree with with me, buf I must protest when you fall to read the book carefully enough to discover that there tie aiililie t See Se eee ewe sory to see a footnote appended to the very paragraph you quoted.

Republican busi- ness men had eontributed to their fund and yet they claim Republicans had aided to nominate Dr. Simon. More power to the intelligent, dis- cerning rank and file! DEMOCRAT. And Patrol Drivers’ Wages. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. | I am very much in sympathy with the “Mother of Nine,” in regards to salary of patrol drivers. The patrol drivers in this city are all working 12 hours a day, from:7 to 7, and are only getting $60 a month. They are only off two days in the month. They are never allowed to leave the patrol house, not even to go to their meals. Now why not give them at least $75 a month? They are not looking for eight hours and an increase In pay; all they want at one time !s a raise in their salary. I know for a fact that most of trem are married men and can hardly get along on $60 a month. Now, as we have a new Police Board, I hope they will get acquainted with this matter, as I don’t believe the old board ever knew the whole circumstances of the patrol drivers. Why not someone go to the front for these men and see if they can’t get treated like the rest of the department. It seems everybody gets a raise in salary in the Police Department except the patrol drivers. ONE IN SYMPATHY WITH PATROL DRIVERS. Dont Breed .Flies. But To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In a recent issue of your paper you show a picture of the city overshadowed by that house- held pest, the fly, and urge evéryone to begin now a vigorous crusade against the insects and by killing them now prevent the propagation of millions a month or two hence. This is sound advice. But I would like to aall your attention to the fact that there seems ito be no restrictions on thoughtless, careless peqple who prepare breeding places ®for flies that all the crusades in the world eculd not cope with successfuly.

Why the Turks Killed an Occasional Bulgarian. Extreme longevity has its drawbacks in countries where prosperity is less general than Janos Meryessi, who was 84 years old, jumped off the suspension bridge at Budapest into the Danube. in Bulgaria. In 1888 He was res- and explained that he wished to relected as they thus filling the neighborhood with flies and dis- agreeable odors and the results obtained from such a back date method of fertiliziing does not justify the means. Why not go after the fly in the same practical way that has proved so successful against the mosquitoes? Destroy their breeding places in- stead of installing them. Why must this nuis- ance be tolerated any -more than foul garbage cans or unclean alleys? A SWATTER. Salaries of Our City Officials. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I-have had many arguments with people from other states on the way Missouri and St. Louis pay their officials. The Mayor of St. Louis re- ecelves 35000 per year. The Mayor of New York $10,000. Is this right? Is the Mayor of New York any smarter or.does he work any harder than the Mayor of St. ‘Louis? Missouri receives $5000 per Year. The Governors of New York and California $10,000, and the Governor of Illinois $12,000. The members of the Assembly are not going to spend as much to get will ‘recelwe from. the city or State, are they? Some of them spend over a thousand to get elected. Last, but not least is Chief Swingley, he is doing the same amount of work that most large cities pay three men to do: The Governor of end his life, as he was becoming too decrepit to support his father and moth- er.

ABOUT TOBACCO. The London Lancet is certainly: the le2zding living authority on tobacco smoke. For a number of years its Spare space and time have been devot- el to studies and investigations on the poisonousness of tobaceg to the smoker. During this prolonged Tesearch pretty nearly all the toxic substances in the pharmacopeia, from prussic acid down, have been found. The smoker has been warned time and again that he is daily subjecting himself to an armamenta- rium of deadly poisons beside which the lethal drugs of* the Medict and Mme. Tofani were mere milk and water potions. Now, on the heels of this extended campaign of destruction, comes a coun. terblast in favor of Nicotiana Tabacum. The smoke is, in fact, a powerful germi- cide, of particular value in destroying the bacilli of cholera, says the Lan- cet. It has been noted in epidemics of this disease that smokers and workers in tobacco factories are comparatively. immune. Tests made in the laboratory prove that tobacco smoke rapidly kills the cholera microbe. Probably it is fa- tal also to many other germs. Its ger- micidal effects seem to be due to pyri- din (or pyridine). Fyridin, a combination of carbon, hy- drogen and nitrogen, is a colorless vol- atile liquid with a sharp, acrid taste, and a peculiar odor somewhat similar t» that of meat burned in a Closed ves- sel. It is a poison resembling. conline (one of the alkaloids of the poison-hem- lock), but less powerful than the lat- ter. It is official in the Freneh phar- macopela ‘and is used medicinally tn the treatment of bronchial asthma.. From which, perhaps, it doesn’t follow that tobacco smoke is good for asthma, bat this conclusion is at least suggested. It is very comforting to learn that when tobacco tastes like “burned meat in a closed vessel” it is doing so much good. A great many of the popular expecta- tions of Mr. Wiliison are based on the fact that he isn’t bullt like Mr. Taft. IN THE WINTER SUNSHINE AT RYE STRAW.

The blood of an assassinated President and Vice-President is over Huerta and his associates. The world will not have confidence in Mexico until she puts civ- ilized men in charge of her affairs and punishes those responsible for the recent atrocities. Ambassador Wilson is not likely long to remain at his post. It is not conceiv- able that his willingness to associate with and to be errand boy for Huerta will commend him to the new adminis- tration at Washington. There must be restoration of a legal and constitutional and nonmurderous Government in*Mex- ico before there is talk of sympathy and support.

He’s goinz fast.”’ ; “Take it away!’ cried the convic*, writhing and striving to blot out from his sight some hideous image of his imagination. “I see the face all the time. Forgive’ me, and take it away! Get me a priest—a priest! Take it awav! It’s John West reaching for me call- ing all the time. All the time I see the bloody face of John West!” With a leap Thompson was at the bedside, leaning over. He laid one hand on the brow of his fellow prisoner, and with the other gripped the wrist of the Warden and drew him close. “No! no! mercy!” shrieked the dying man. “Don’t strangle me! I always meant to tell’’-— “Tell now,” commanded Thompson. “What about him—John West?” “West, yes. Forgive me, Thompson— vou were charged with it—forgive me, [ am dying. I killed him—I—we were all drunk—they found you at his side—I— water—forgive’’—— With a gasp he fell over, dead. Gently Thompson folded the hands of the dead man across his chest. Then, silent, he stood gazing at the lifeless form. The closing of a hand about his own recalled him to his surroundings and he turned to|face the tear-dimmed eyes of the warden. ‘You heard?’ he whispered. “T heard,” replied the warden, softly, as he pressed the shrunken -hand of the convict in his. Shoulder to shpulder the two men walked slowly. with bowed heads, from the death chamber. : “T only ask that it should be put in the records in my favor, sir,” said No. 2962, in a far-away voice.

Famous fighter tells in a speech. to trolley em- ployes what he’d do if he had Morgan’s income. “Give the needy a boost,” he_ said, “and when you die you'll surely go to Heaven.” OB FITZSIMMONS—no longer the B hairy conqueror of the prize ring, but a kindly frock-coated gentle- man with a message—talked the other right to the motormen and: conductors of the Paterson car lines. Five hundred or more carmen hung on ‘his words, which would have sounded like plati- tudes if they had not come from a man whose most striking characteristic - is that he lives his own doctrine. At the end of the little talk the men sent up a yell of loving homage that, for volume and sincerity, might have been an up- roar at the ringside... Only there was a difference. Fitz, now that his days in the arena are gone, recognizes the dif- ference and likes it. He has learned how to reach men’s hearts with words. On the car which carries Fitzsimmons daily to his home in Nutley, N. J., the prize fighter fell into a talk a.few weeks ago with the conductor. Fitz began life in England as a blacksmith. The car- man, it appeared, had worked in the machine shops. Both of them knew the trick of twisting white hot metal into shape: More than that, they proved to be brother Cornishmen, Years before in the little village at the southern tip of England where conqueror and car con- Cuctor both saw the light Stan Hunt had heard—only heard—of Fitz’s mother. But the mere mention of her name was enough. The pugilist’s heart has not ceased to ache, he says, since she Jied. In a moment Hunt had been invited to visit the old Kingsland mansion in Nut- ley, .where Fitzsimmons lives with his friend, Dan McGinnity. The conductor faltered; then said timidly: “I was going tc ask you Thursday night to see a little play I wrote—a Cornish play. At the Railway Employes’ Clubrooms in Pat- crson. All the boys from the barns will be there. Would you—could you :nake it?’’ *““‘Would I?” cried Fitz. “I’d go farther than Paterson to see a Cornish play. I'll be there in my evening clothes. I’ll make you a little speech. Want me to?” Hunt didn’t even wait to say “Yes.” Somewhere about his clothes he found tickets for as many of Fitz’s friends as & special car would hold. Then Thurs- day night he waited at the door to lead the ovation when his guest appeared. After the performance of the play, “Joel Tenlee,”’ Fitzsimmons rose in his box and spoke. | 7 And what a speech! Scores of the men who heard it asked Bob afterward for copies, so they could hang the speech upon the walls at home. The conqueror whose biceps gathered their first strength in a little Cornish blacksmith shop has never forgotten the men that remain behind in the workshops of the world. Today thetr sorrows, their temp- tations, their virtues are as real to him as they were 30 years ago. They shape his own life still. His command of the English language and his clothes are different, but these only bring him near- er to “the boys.’’ In the car barns, the lodge rooms and the saloons where Bob finds his real friends, his correct even- ing dress is greeted with the same ar- dor that met the scholarly periods of his address the other night. This is what he said to the trolley men: * es ADIES and gentlemen: The life of the most fortunate of men is sel- dom without a touch of the burden of poverty.

It is the same in the end. man who finds time and has the in- Clination to help the struggling has something to look back on that is worth remembering. It could be summed up in one sentence: ‘Give the needy boost.’ And when you die you'll go to heaven, and then your reward will be paid in full. “I come here tonight to say to the youths who are just coming into man- hood that they will do well to keep themselves in physical condition. Brawn and muscle in the game of life is just as necessary as brains and beauty. The hand that is hard with labor has: helped to lay the foundations of the nation, and when you boys become men I want you to remember that you heard this advice from a man who has never ceased to toil. “‘Even if I had the income of Morg..n or Rockefeller I would continue to do a certain amount of hard work each day of my life. But that is not all. You must avoid the easily acquired vices. Do not smoke cigarettes. Do not drink. Do not gamble. Do not associate with people who have won success without labor. They are accustomed to lives of idleness; they teach a lesson. of !n- dolence. Keep out in the fresh air a certain number of hours out of the 24. When it comes time to do a little study- ing and thinking you will be in better shape for it. “If success comes to you later in life, remember the friends of your youth and boyhood. Hold up the standard of loyal- ty which has made this country the best one under the sun to live in. “In all my travels—and I have circled the world twice—I have seen no nation where the youths and the children st out as well equipped to fight for a de- cent livelihood as right here in America. This means both the boys and the gir!’%. You will have your ups and downs, but you may thank your stars that you are Americans to begin with. -Remember that when in the future you become the parents of the generation which is to take up the work where you lay it down. “IT have always believed that there is no task worthier than that of teaching the youth of a nation the doctrine of physical culture. A nation’s greatness depends first on the superior physical equipment of its men and women. E?- erywhere I see physical wrecks on mean mere slugging with the fists. The toughs and rowdies of every country are, as @ rule, inferior persons in physical make-up. There is not one of them, who would not have to.succumb to the well devel- oped person who had given attention to

OOK at this evening gown,” said <6] the Average Girl, holding up 4& dainty frock of pale green chif- fon, shimmering with beads end spangles. ‘It’s a tragedy.” ‘What's the matter with it?’ inquired the ‘Woman of 30. “It looks all right to me. Very smart style, I should call it, and. tHe color is lovely.” ‘I paid more for it than I could really afford,’’ bemoaned the Girl, ‘‘for I want- ed to look my best at the club dance to- night, I thought it was very pretty when I first Bought it, but when I tried it on just now it made me look like the Chinese flag.’ | “Put it on,’”” commanded her friend. The Girl obeyed without comment, and when she had arrayed herself the Wom- an looked her over critically. “There’s nothing wrong about the frock,” said she, ‘“‘except that it makes you look rather sallow. That shade should always be worn by a woman of riore florid type than you are, for it takes away the little color you have. But as long as you have already bought it ycu can appear stunning in it this even- ing if you will only wear with it a pair of pink cheeks.”’ “How can I wear pink cheeks? you mean out of a box?’ “No, I didn’t mean the box or bottle kind, though personally, I don’t think a touch of make-up is a sin. You know, Do

Then put it in the and rub can bowl fore the house, and you will find that your cheeks ‘will glow becomingly for hours, and nobody at the dance can say you are made-up.

It is a good.plan to put a plece of damp flannel over the bag to keep it from drying the skin too much.” “Why not a mustard plaster on each cheek?” said the Girl, sarcastically. “Try it, if you wart to, and get @ pair of beautiful blisters.

NEUSTETER STORE HAS ITS SPRING OPENING All the four floors of Neusteter’s store at Seventh street and Washington ave- nue have been crowded every day this week by women shoppers eager to take advantage of the newest styles for spring and summer wear. In the dis- play at the Neusteter store there is a cotton and woolens the broche, eponge, a drastic departure in materials, so pro- nounced that there is no excuse for any two women to have a resemblance in their wearing apparel. . In the way of gowns, the Neusteter store has on display silk matelasse, Can- ton crepes, crepe ‘de cygne, meteors, In cotton and woolens the broche, eponge, crepes and needle cords are on exhibi- tion and for sale.

“Style, Quality and Value Combined.” All. the latest fashions for women, misses and juniors are on view now. There is a big change in the 1913 suits and demi-suits. There are what women call wonderful] effects in silk and cloth suits. In the cloth are the matelasse, faille stik, charmeuse and eponge, shepherd checks and French serges. One new feature is that the skirts this year have a high waist line. The coats are decided in the fashion change—a change of a nalf or three-quartera in length, [} but they are jaunty and cheap and prac- tical for any purpose. The blouses are of white, voflies, crepe de chine, and laces prevail, with now and ther: a touch of colored embroidery.

Full Strength Permitted by Rules! to Be Maintained This - Year. _

By Clarence F. Lloyd. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. WACO, Tex., March 13.—Manager George Stovall of the Browns differs from Manager Miller Huggins of the Cardinals in one respect at least. The former is not going to claim any cast- ceffs from other clubs, as Huggins has announced he intends to do. Stovall wants none of the surplus tal- ent of other teams and is not going to pass over any of his extras to rival American League managers. The full quota of 2 men, as allowed by basebalj will be carried by Stovall after May 25, the day that teams must chop tneir squads. It formerly was limited to 25, but now the managers are not counted as play- ers whether they be of the playing or bench variety. Will Not Strengthen Rivals. “I figure that a player who is not good enough for some other club is hardly good enough for mine,” said Stovall, Thursday. “But as I have a very promising squad of youngsters and may have to turn some loose to get within the required limit allowed, I do not intend to let any other major league club have any of my men. If necessary I'll make some arrangements whereby they will be held for an entire season, if they do nothing but warm the bench and hit outfield flies before the games.”’ Unlike Huggins, Stovall has no scouts “doing”’ the Major League camps South. Lou Criger.will linger with the squad until the latter part of May or the first part of June as not until that time do the minor leaguers get under full swing. In the meantime the veteran backstop is expected to teach much baseball knowledge to the juvenile catchers and pitchers. President Hedges has had his first look at his 1918 Browns. He arrived yesterday in time to take in the after+ noon practice, which was held despite the fact that the heavy rain of the morning left the Cotton Palace grounds in a very heavy condition. Stovall doesn’t believe in letting a little or much mud interfere with his plans. Squad to Watch Athletics. A better opportunity for President Hedges to size up the team will be af- forded today when another double ses- sion is on the program. The game with | law. uled today at Corciscana has been called off because of the wet condition of the grounds at that place. The same also prevented the game with the Baylor College team yesterday. It is likely that today’s afternoon session will be started early in order to enable the players to take in the game between the Athletics of Philadelphia and the Waco team. Connie Mack is bringing his squad of ex- world’s champions over from San Antonio to meet the Navigators in a single combat, Manager Stovall is displeased with a story in one St. Louis newspaper in which the writer endeavored to name the men who wilil be retained and those who will be disposed of. He says that the men have not had suffi- clent opportuntty’ to show their real ability and that he doesn’t intend to cut loose from any man in the flock until he proves that he is not of big league caliber. ——-——_@--—- COLUMBIA CREW TO ROW IN CHARLES RIVER RACE CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 13.—Oolum- bia University will probably compete with Harvard, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania in the big regatta to be rowed on the Charlies River May 10. The race was originally. scheduled to be @ triangular affatr. The manager of the Columbia crew recent- ly came to Harvard and talked matters over with Capt. Abeles of St. Louis, who in turn discussed the subject with the rowing com- mittee and Coach Wray, with the result that Harvard upheld its reputation for sportsman- ship and willingly agreed to admit the new crew, providing the consent of the other crews was obtained. The Columbia manager then went to Phila- delphia and found Ellis Ward and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania quite willing to ad- mit the New Yorker, and now it remains with Princeton to make the race & four-cornered O rcaused considerable sgeculation in yacht-

affair. THE SPRING PHENOM. 1 H, the youthful recruit in an ill-, fitting suit Is there like a duck spring; His clothes may not fit, he can hit And he’s got a most wonderful wing. He's got a good eye, he reminds you of Ty By the way he connects with the ball; And it’s well understood that he’s bound to make good, But— Where will he be in the fall? in the but you bet He’s got a great head, so the manager said; In fact, a remarkable bean. It’s chuck full of brains and they say, when it rains, He quickly withdraws from the scene. He’s got a great whip and they’re slip- ping the tip That Wagner's not in it at all; And from what we can hear he’s the find of the year, But— Where will he be in the fall? He’s fast on his feet and it’s really a treat To see him slide into the base. He’s a bear at finesse—he can always outguess The pitcher by watching his face: Tie’s strong as an ox, with a head like a. fox; pad 3 He's muscular, handsome and tall. He's just like a streak—he’s so fast he’s a freak, But— Where will he be in the fall? + as a“ The report from the Cardinals’ train- ing camp that one of the players’ legs is an inch longer than it really ought to be is Hable to be overshadowed when we get the returns from Waco stating what happened to Col. Hedges’ leg upon his arrival with the bank roll. , New Challenger Wants Chance at America Cup; , Lipton’s Defi Declined NEW YORR, March 13.—Intimation that a challenge from some other En- glish yachtsman than Sir Thomas Lipton for the America Cup is anticipated by members of the New York Yacht Club

ing circles today, but theré was no answer to the question who the prospec- tive challenger might be. Rumors of another challenge were coincident with the decision which the New York Yacht Club reached late last night to decline the Lipton challenge, which was made in his behalf by the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. It came as a surprise to many mem- bers of the club when ‘they read the chal- lenge for the first time last night to find that Sir Thomas not only proposed a challenging vessel not to exceed 75 feet on the water line, but that he would re- quire the defender to be of the same dimensions, The deed of gift of the America’s cup allows competing vessels ‘of any length from 65 to 90 feet and the maximum length has always prevailed. To be forced to reduce this to a 75-foot limit under the terms of the challenge was held by the New York club to be contrary to the spirit of the deed of gift. The vote in rejection of Lipton’s terms was given ag “unanimous.” MANY ST. LOUIS MEN GO SOUTH WITH EDDIE HERR Eddie Herr, the veteran St. Louls baseball manager, will depart Friday evening for Clarksville, Miss., to take charge of the team representing that city in the Cotton States League. Asin the past, Herr will take along a few St. Louis boys. The Mound Cityans on his club are: Morris Dalton, @& second baséman, last season with Grafton: Al Bern- rsen, a third sacker, who was with the Pe- orla (Three-I League) team; George Barrett, a shortstop, and a nephew of Scout Charlie Barrett of the Browns, last season with Jef- ferson City; Will Collins, an outfielder, also with Jefferson City; Al Beers, a pitcher, with the Harrisons; and Jim Begley, a first sacker. who quit baseball last season. Herr formerly managed the Winnepes Michigan State League) ¢lub and won two pennants while there, besides developing such stars as Fred Loderus of the Phillies, “King Cole,"’ with the Pirates, and Rolla Zeider of the White Sox. Herr has instructed

154 Pounds and Fight as Middleweight If He Con- formed to Law of Averages. The human stringbean is with us. He is Ray Bell of Los Angeles, Cal., who is here intent on a match with some fistic star of 116 pounds or less weight, which is the figure at which the string- bean strips for action. Bell # 5 feet 10% inches tall. He can do 116 ringside without amputation and he has the reach of a middleweight In fighting position he strongly _re- sembles a letter S that has been through an ink famine; and when he extends his left arm it looks like a spur running out from the main line of a railroad. ‘Bell arrived in the city Saturday and spent the time. since trying to convince Tommy Sullivan, manager of the Future City Athletic Club, that he would not run much risk of being held for man- slaughter by~- putting on the “animated cornstalk in @ bout at the F.C, A. G Sullivan is trying to arrange a bout for this lean one for his next show Tuesday. Nevertheless the thin one can box some and his reach makes him a queer target for the average bantie, whose height is something around 4 feet 10 inches. Bell’s normal weight in propor- tion to height ought to be 154 pounds. Bell depends on his reach for protec- tion of his middle section. When doubled up an opponent could perhaps reach Bell’s ribs by telephone; certainly not with his mitt. Bell's manager, Jack Bell, declares his man is willing to fight any bantam in the world. That he’s no novice a five- minute recital by his manager of un- knowns whom Bell has defeated is in- tended to convince. Bell is a member of the bricklayers’ union. He has a bunch of clippings showing that he has participated in a number of professional bouts success- fully. In addition he has an autograph

RAY om letter from Billy McCarney, manager of Luther McCarty, white hope cham- pion, recommending him as a ‘boxer of merit and worth a trial.”

——_——— Demarest Makes 44 Average in Beating Sutton Peterson Wins From Ortiz, but Plays His Poorest Game of Tourney. That Calvin Demarest, the young Chi- cago balkline billiard player and for- mer holder of tne 182 billiard title, is the equal of Wiilie Hoppe was in part demonstrated here Wednesday when the Windy City’ star trimmed George Sutton, 400 to 248, averaging 4.4, run- ning out the game in nine innings an4 registering a high run of 146. The per- formance is the test of the four-handed tournament in progress at Peterson 4 hall, although Sutton Tuesday tied the world’s record for a high run. Sutton himself has held both the 18.1 and 18.2 championships. Charley Peterson, the St. Louis entry in the tournament, defeated the Span- ish champion, Jose Ortiz, 400 to 222, in he first game bv has won.
