POLICE LOBBY ACTS IS URGED IN SENATE Senator Carter Charges Use of Large Slush Fund to Force the Passage of Meas- ure to Increase the Salar- ies of Members of the St. Louis Force. WEEK-END PARTIES FOR LEGISLATORS Says Auto Is Provided for} Members Visiting City— —*Operations of Lobby Nothing Short of Scandal- ous’—Attacks Men Aid- ing Bill. By J. J. McAULIFFE. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, JEF- FERSON CITY, March 15.—That the St. Louis police lobby has employed 2 large slush fund to force the passage of the police salary raise bills, was openiy charged by Senator Cartvrr, Democrat, of Clark County, on the floor of the Senate today. “It is a matter of common know'- edge,’’ said Senator Carter, ‘“‘that mem- ‘bers of the St. Louls police have con- tributed various sums of money for ths purpose of pushing bills. designed to irf@fease their salaries. ‘We know. also that the operations of this lobby have been nothing short of scandalous. “Among the police lobby’s aids are men with questionable reputations in their own communities. They don’t stand for honor or decency. “It is a notorious fact that one of the police lobbyists has had plenty of money and that he has spent it lavishly in Jef- ferson City. His sudden prosperity is the talk of the own. “Commodious Touring Car.” “Now, at the other end of the line, St. Louis, I understand the police have suite of rooms at’a prominent hotel downtown, where week end sociables to members of the Legislature are held. “There is a commodious touring car also at the disposal of .the members and this is supplied gratis by the po-. lice. Now, I do not charge that abso- lute corruption has marked the acts of the disgraceful police lobby, but I do say that if the charges which have been rumored are true, this Senate should institute an tmmediate and vig- orous investigation.’’. Senator Carter was speaking to a resolution, which he introduced, pro- viding for a.formal inquiry into the police lobby’s activities in Jefferson City. The resolution included also tho representatives of public service cor- porations = special corporate inter- ests who have failed to sign the antli- lobby register in the Secretary of States office. The Attorney-General of the State and the prosecuting attorney of Cole County were directed by the reso- lution to proceed at once to enforce the anti-lobby law. Benator Gardner of St. Louis County poked fun at the resolution. He de- clared the lobby was a bugaboo and existed only in the imagination of Senators who wanted to make a “grand- stand” play for the “common peepul.” Buford of Reynolds moved that the resolution be referred to the Judiciary Committee to be reported out within three days. Referred to Committee. Senator Carter, answering Buford, said the résolution’ would be killed if it were referred to a committee. “Don’t whip the devil ‘around the stump, but stand up and vote for tnis resolution,’ shouted Carter. Senator Rogers of Audrain expressei that if Senator Carter aad any knowleiige of corruption in connec- tion with the work of the alleged polica lobby he. should make the fact known to the ‘prosecuting authorities of Cole County. Carter replied that the sole purpose of the resolution was to precipitate an inquiry for the purpose of finding out just who and how much money were back of the police bills. Buford’s motion to refer the resolu- tion to the Judiciary Committee carried by a vote of 14 to 7. cis Senators Brogan, Kinney and Warner of St. Louis voted with the Buford sup- porters. Police Sergeants Jenes and Campbe!! departed from Jefferson City today. Senator Carter says he will demand action on the resolution not later than Monday. He believes the Attorney-Gen- eral will be giad to prosecute any violat- ore of the anti-lobby law. og Tax ape Woes Compe - POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, JEF- FERSON CITY, March 15.—The Honsee this morning passed the Carter bill, in-

. @reasing the tax on express | companies doing business in this State from $1.25 to $2.50 on h $100 of gross receipts. It is a Senafe bill, and will go to the Governor. JIM HALL, PUGILIST, DEAD ‘STEPHENS POINT, Wis., March 15.—

AUTO SPEEDERS LOSE IDENTITY CARD PRIVILEGE Abuse of Immunity From Imme- diate Arrest Brings Change in Police Regulations.

Identification cards no longer will pro- tect automobile speeders from arrest. Chief Young Saturday afternoon notified the police of all districts not to accept the cards when tendered by persons halt- ed for violating the speed law, but to take them to police stations. The Chief said he took this action be- cause automobile speeders have not ap- preciated the idéntification card privi- lege and have lost no opportunity to em- barrass pursuing policemen. The serious injury of Motor Cycle Policeman Schnei- der while chasing a speeder Friday night hastened the Chief's action, he said. Identification cards were first issued about three months ago. Since then per- sons arrested for minor offenses have not been taken to stations, but have been served with police summonses to appear in court the following day.

CROWD WRECKS JOINTS Prisoner Names Ernest Harrison in Confession of Attack on Dorothy Holt.

SALEM, Ill., March 15.—After three compantes of militia had guarded the jail here all night to protect. Frank Sullens, held a prisoner on a charge of abducting and detaining 16-year-old Dorothy Holt, daughter of Assistant State’s Attorney Charles H. Holt, ar- rangements were made Saturday tv take Sullens to East St. Louis for safe- keeping. It was planned to give Sullens a pre- liminary hearing at 2 p. m. and then take him under guard of militiamen and deputy sheriffs from the courthouse to the Baltimore & Ohio station, five blocks away, and place him on a trata scheduled to depart for East St. Louis at 3 p. m. The abduction and _ detention of Miss Holt was told of by her when she returned to her home Friday morning after being away all night. Physicians say that her condition is serious. Sullens in a written statement after his arrest early Friday admitted that he forcibly dragged Miss Holt, first to a coal mine on the outskirts of the town and later to a cattle pen near the mine and held her a prisoner there all night. He also admitted that he had attacked her. ’ Planned to Demand Ransoni. He says his act was the result of a plot to capture Miss Holt and hold her for ransom. This, he said, was a plan of revenge against her father because of his activity in officially investigat- ing the killing of Robert Miller, whose body was found in an abandoned well near here early in February. On the strength of Sullens’ written statement Ernest Harrison of Salem, was arrested and is now in jail charged with being Sullens’ accomplice in the It is probable that Harri- son also will be taken to East St. Louis for safe-keeping. He denies Sullens’ the abduction. When news of the abduction and at- tack on Miss Holt became generally known in town Friday, a crowd of more than 200 assembled in the court- house grounds opposite the jail. was believed that many of these were merely curiousity seekers who hoped to catch a glimpse of the prisorier if he should be taken from the jail to the courthouse for a preliminary. hearing. Crowd Wrecks Whisky Joints. The crowd did not become demonstra- tive until the word was passed aroun:l that Sullens, in his statement after his arrest, had said that he was u»n- der the influence of whisky purchase in Salem when he abducted. Miss Holt. Salem is a ‘“‘dry”’ town, but in defiance of the law several! illicit saloons or joints have flourished there. Someone in the crowd cried: “Let's wreck the joints!’’ It was a rallying cry which met instant response. The crowd ruehed from the courthvuse yerd and, separating into attacking parties, swooped down on the illicit saloons,

INSURGENTS LOSE IN FISTORICAL OUIETY FIGHT ‘Mrs. Idress Head, Custodian, Forces Conservatives to Re- cruit Full Voting Strength. OPPOSES JUDGE DOUGLAS Aided by Mrs. Anna _ Sneed Cairns She Almost Controlled Annual Election.

A suffragist rebellion in the Missouri Historical Society, led by Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns of Forest Park University and Miss Idress Head, resulted in a battle for the control of the society at the annual election of officers Friday night. The insurgents were defeated, but it took three days of the hardest kind of organization by leading business and financial men of St. Louis to insure ‘victory for the conservatives. Millionaires who have not left their ihomes at night for any business or pleasure engagement for years were urged with such persistency to attend the meeting to put down the rebellion that they broke the family rules and went. Miss Head, who has been custod- ian of the archives of the society for several years, was the real leader of |the insurgents and was ably assisted by Mrs. Cairns, Judge John H. Terry and David I. Bushnell. | Drop Fight on Bixby. The original object of the insurgency |was to oust William K. Bixby, as presi- dent, and Judge Walter B. Douglas, as vice-president, of the society, according to some of the regulars. By the time ‘the members assembled in the hand- some Jefferson Memorial at the entrance to Forest Park, which is to be the per- imanent home of the society, the fight had narrowed down to a (fight upon Judge Douglas for re-election for vice- president and the candidate of the con- ‘gervatives for second vice-president to succeed V. Mott Porter. The real cause of the insurgent move- ‘ment, it is said, was the employment, by ‘Judge Douglas and other members in ‘control, of Mrs. Henry Beauregard of 5807 Von Versen avenue as assistant cus- ‘todian. Miss Head, according to inform- ation which leaked out through members of the organization, feared that she might be dismissed to make a place for Mrs. Beauregard as custodian. Miss Head is a grand niece of the late Gen. Sterling Price, and is credited with the fighting spirit of the old Confederate |leader and much of his organizing abil- ‘ity. Mrs. Beauregard is also a relative of the noted Civil War leader of the same name. Misa Head Well Organized. - Miss Head had her forces so well organizéd that the opposition concedes her plans undoubtedly would have suc- ceeded if some of the conservatives had not discovered the insurgent movement three days ago and acted promtply tv -checkmate her. She and her advisers had agreed upon Louis Houck of Cape Girardeau, railroad builder and author of a history of Missouri, as first vice- president, and Judge Terry for vice- president. The vice-president has been practically in control of the affairs of the society for many years, President Bixby serv-

‘ing more in the capacity of ‘‘angel’’ to the organization than as executive. When the members gathered at the Memorial they found Miss Head and Miss Cairns ready to lead them into one of the committee rooms to line them up for the insurgent slate, and Presi- dent Bixby, former Gov. Francis and a score of others inviting them into an- other room to induce them to support 'the conservative ticket. Mayor Kreis- mann, former Mayor Wells, Isaac F. Li- enberger, John F. Lee, James E. Smith and Capt. Robert McCulloch, who had not attended a meeting of the society in years, were on‘ hand. The members came from all directions, and nearly 200 were in their seats when President Bix- by called the meeting to order. Bixby sounded a note of warning against the insurgent movement in his opening speech. He pleaded for harmony, stating that it was the first time in the history of the organization that there had ever been any dissension. He said that he was willing to pay all the ex- penses of the society, if necessary, but he wished to insist that there must be harmony. He was nominated for re- election, by Francis, and elected without opposition. When he called for nomination for vice-president, Judge Terry nominated Houch and also made a plea for har- mony. Judge Douglas was put forward as the candidate of the conservatives. Lionberger Davis and W. F. Saunders, secretary of the Business Men’s League, were appointed tellers to receive and count the votes. After the ballots had been dropped into the hats, Davis and Saunders re- tired to count the vote, while President Bixby called for nominations for sec- Mrs. Cairns inter- rupted with a demand that the tellers be required to count the votes on the table in the presence of everybody. This demand created some amusement and after the conservatives declared that it was a reflection upon the tellers, it was voted down. The conservatives had distributed typewritten ballots among the members. This seemed to count for much, because Judge Douglas received 82 votes to 2 cast for Houck.

Immediately Upon -Seeing Her, He Rushes to Theater Manager With Offer.

NEW YORK, March 15.—Here’s New York’s newest beauty. Her name is Julia Bruns and she hails from St. Louis. James Montgomery Flagg, the artist, discovered her in the front row of a line of show girls yin a Broadway musi- cal comedy. With Mrs. Flagg, the famous delinea- tor of pretty girl types attended the first night of a musical play last week. The curtain hgd been up less than three minutes when Flagg caught sight of a tall, dark-haired girl in the chorus. She was gowned in white and carried a bunch of red roses. Flagg confided to his wife that she was one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. At the end of the first act Flagg left his seat and sought the manager of the theater. He explained that he had seen a young woman on the stage of such surpassing beauty that he desired her as a model. Before the performance was over the manager asked the young woman in question if she would like to pose for Flagg. She decided that she would be delighted, and since last Tuesday has spent several hours a day at Flageg’s studio. Her face will soon be seen on many magazine covers. Flagg says she is the most beautiful model he has ever had—and hundreds of the most famous models !n America have posed for him.

GAYNOR SUMMONED AS THE LIBFLER OF JOSEPH PULITZER New York Mayor to Appear Thursday at Hearing on Criminal Charge.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 15.—Magistrate Frederick Kernochan issued a sum- mons for Mayor Gaynor yesterday aft- ernoon in the complaint of Ralph Pulitz- er against the Mayor for criminal libel of his father, the late Joseph Pulitzer. The summons is returnable March 2 at 4p. m. The granting of the summons took only a short time. The witnesses and newspaper men had assembled in the little court room at 300 Mulberry street, awaiting the arrival of the Magistrate. When he appeared, he said he thought all the newspaper men there to cover the story should be excluded. Magistrate Grants Summons. “That is the usual custom when ap- plications for warrants and summonses are heard,’’ he said. The newspaper men filed out, and about 2 minutes later the Magistrate called them in and announced that he had granted the summons for Mayor Gaynor on the ap- plication of Ralph Pulitzer on a com- plaint of criminal libel. Mr. Pulitser was represented by Howard Taylor of 7l Broadway, and his private secre- tary, John Fletcher. Magistrate Kernochan said he did not hear any of the witnesses, simply having them swear to their affidavits. Mr. Pulitzer bases his complali:it against the Mayor on a statement at- tributed to the Mayor while delivering an address before the South Brooklyn Board of Trade on the evening of Fen. 6 last. In the course of that address, the Mayor, it is complained, said, with reference to the late Joseph Pulitser: ‘The other one having come here and started a newspaper filled with every indecent advertisement, every filthy thing, every filthy picture, and having gone on until he had amassed a for- tune of $50,000,000 by blackmail and in- decency,” etc. Neryt Thursday, when the Mayor ap- pears at 3 Mulberry street, the Mag- {strate will decide whether or not thera is sufficient evidence to hold the Mayor on the Pulitzer complaint. There are five witnesses, it is understood, the two stenographers of the Mayor, two news- paper reporters who were at the mest-

SA-WEEK GIRL'S Young Woman One of Sev- 2 eral Witnesses Who Ex- Struggles to Illinois Senate Inquirers at Peoria “Sur- prise Hearing.” CHORUS GIRLS AND MIDGETS TO TESTIFY Employers of Women Heard _ in Their Own Defense and Some Dispute That Low Wages Are at the Bottom of the Trouble. . PEORIA, Ill., March 15.—Peorla work- ing girls had their inning today in relat- ing their struggles to make a living and their stories, told at the “surprise hearing” of the Illinois Vice Commis- sion, caused the deepest interest. The commission, headed by Lieutenant-Gov- : ernor Barratt O'Hara, the chairman, ar. rived here late last night and more than thirty persons were under supena be- fore their presence in the city generally became known. The stories of two of the working girls aroused particular interest. One had been employed in a candy store, where she tried to subsist on $3 a week. The - other, also employed at low wages, had been led by a young man to seek the company of other men and give the pre- ceeds of her degradation to rg & Employers also were among the wit nesses. They were questioned closely concerning the working conditions of their establishments and the wages they paid. A number of chorus giris and two midgets playing at a local theater, als» . were under subpjena to testify. ' Girl Tella of $3 Weekly Wage. “C, 8." 18 years old, was the first of the girl witnesses. Her name was called, but Chairman @’Hara requested that only the initials be used. “C. 8.” worked in a candy shop at $% a week. She claimed that she was led astray there. “Were you able to live on $87” inquired Senator Beall. *‘*WNo.”’ The girl’s manner was composed. She figured in a white slave case a year ago. “Pp. 1.,” a pretty young woman, proved an interesting witness. She entered the underworld only two months ago. She sobbed In the course of her examination, and when she was through O'Hara and Beall, beaming sympathy, shook hands with her. She was taken from a disor- derly house a few days ago by a mis- sionary worker. ae “Il was earning $5 a week,’ she said. “I was going with a young man and I got to know his ways. Then he wanted me to go with men and—and’——here the girl faltered and tears came to her eyes. “And where did you take the men you met?’ asked O’ Hara. “Pp. 1.” was fighting to choke back her sobs and was. not required to an- swer. She was led away by the woman who rescued her. Pat Responsibility om State. Henry Block, a leading retail mer- chant, and his secretary, Carl Block, took the stand together. Schipper and Block employ 123 girls who earn less than $8 a week. Carl Block averred that a girl who was incapable of earning a living wage should not be made a ward of any busi- ness. “The physical and moral welfare of an unskilled girl suddenly thrust upon her own regources,” he said, “ and whose services as a novice are not worth living wage,” he said, ‘should Be cared for by the community. It i a responsibility of the State.” | This witness brought up «a story often attributed in gossip to various big stores that some stores hire girls at a low wage with the understanding that they can make money ‘‘on the side.’’ “aA uttversity professor made the statement,”” said Block, ‘that a certain big store kept a list of young men who PULA Pa Fh

HAWTHORNE AND? ADS ARE GUILTY OF MAIL FRAUDS Josiah Quincy, Former Boston Mayor, Alone Escapes Prison in Mining Deal. LED AWAY HANDCUFFED Hawthorne, Son of Famous Nov- elist; Doctor, Convicted, Calls It “Anesthesia Curse.”’ »*% By Leased Wire From the New York ®Burenu of the Post-Dispatch. . NEW YORK, March 15.—Julian Haw- thorne, Dr. William J. Morton and Al- pert Freeman were found guilty in the United States District Court last night of using the mails to defraud in con- ection with the sale of mining lands in the Cobalt district of Quebec, which their hired experts held out to be fab- ulously rich. Josiah Quincy, twice Mayor of Boston and Assistant Secre- tary of State under President Clevelaad, was acquitted. Judge Mayer at once pronounced sentence: Julia Hawthorne of New York, 7 years old, son of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the novelist, author, graduate of Har- vard, one year and one day in the Fed- eral penitentiary at Atlanta, the sen- tence to be considered as having corn- - menced Nov. 2%, the day the trial be- gan. Dr. William J. Morton of New York, 68 years old, son of Dr. William T. 3. Morton, discoverer of ether; nerve spe- clalist and himself discoverer of new methods of applying local anesthetics, graduate of Harvard; one year and one day in the Federal penitentiary at At- Janta, the sentence to be considered as having commenced Nov. 25, the day the trial began. Albert Freeman of New York, 46 years old, promoter and formerly a broker, five years and three days in the Fed- eral penitentiary at Atlanta, the sen- tence to be considered as having begun on Jan. 1. Three Men Handcaffed. The three convicted men were hand- cuffed to three deputy United States Marshals within 15 minutes of being sen- tenced and were taken to the Tombs. A 10-day stay was granted to enable their lawyers to carry the case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, during which time they will remain in prison in New York. If permission be obtained to appeal and a further stay be granted by the upper court, the men may be released on bail, pending the argument of the ap- peal. | None of the three broke down, either during their sentence or when they were handcuffed, an opefation which caused the most dramatic moments of the trial. Pale, the cold sweat standing on their faces, the guilty men were steadfast throughout their ordeal. When they were taken from the court- room and led down one of the long cor- ridors of the Federal building, each ac- companied by a deputy marshal, they talked. They were escorted to the door of the deputy marshals’ room by their counsel and friends. Here the lawyers shook hands with them, Then they passed into the dimly lit, desolate room and the big door was closed. There was utter silence after the excitement of the courtroom. Depu- ty marshals and a few newspaper men were the only others in the room. Hawthorne sat down, took eut a ci- garette and smoked. Dr. Morton sat beside ‘him, with a cigar. Freeman, deathly pale, walked up and down, smoking a cigar. Dr. Morton, with a wan smile, got up and walked toward a reporter. “We can smoke,” at least, he said. “Win you say ener he was asked. Calla It “Anesthesia Curse.” “Yes, I will say this,” he said: ‘This is the anesthesia’ curse which has come upon me. All my life I have been fearing that some tragedy of a terrible nature would overtake me. I am suffering, as my father did before me, for nature's law of compensation. “My father gave mankind one of its greatest blessings. He gave mankind ether and insensibility to pain. He was robbed of the fruits of that dis- covery during his life. They took it from him, giving him nothing whatever in return. He died at 48, leaving his family so penniless that their support fell on me. “The Civil War was fought on ether. If every human belng who has been saved suffering by ether had paid to the Morton family its due, that family would be one of the wealthiest in the world. “Well, my father gave this wonderful good to humanity.

WASHINGTON, March 15.—Richard Olney of Boston, to whom President Wilson offered the post of Ambassador to Great Britain, has declined. His let- ter of refusal was received at the White House today. Olney’s letter was said to be of a con- fidential nature, and was not made pub- lic. Secretary Tumulty, however, an- nounced that Olney had declined ‘‘for family reasons.’’ It is understood that Mrs. Olney had been in poor health, and that Olney was loath to change his res- idence at his advanced age. His many business connections, through his law practice, also are said to have influenced him to remain in this country. Speculation as to who might be chosen Ambassador to Great Britain began im-| to mediately on the announcement of Ol- ney’s declination. It was pointed out that beside Olney, President Wilson had had in mind Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, but had offered Olmey the place because of his conspicuous record in the Democratic party and as a member of the Cleveland Cabinet. It is not known that Dr. Eliot would accept the post, as it has always been understood that he declined a diplomatic offer from President Taft. Announcement was made at the White House that the nomination of former Gov. John Burke of North Dakota, to be United States Treasurer, would be sent to the Senate today. Henry F. Hollis, the newly elected Senator from New Hampshire, greeted the President who offered his congratu- lations. Associate Justice Mahlon Pit- ney, a Clasmate of the President a: Princeton, wag another White House caller, Justice Pitney said his visit to the President was purely personal. Senator Tillman had decided not to prolong his fight for the chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee when the Senate Democratic caucus met today to approve the committee assignments made by the Steering Committee. He had prepared a resolution proposing to substitute his name for that of Senator Martin, whom the party managers had selected for the chairmanship, but he did not offer this to the caucus. The Steering Committee of nine, head- ed by Senator Kern, Democratic lead- er, presented the full Democratic com- mittee lists to the party conference when it assembled.

Another Discovery of Great Im- portance Is Announced at Doctors’ Meeting.

. BALTIMORE, March 15.—Before an audience which packed the medical am- phitheater of Johns Hopkins Hospital and overflowed into the corridor, these announcements, each of which is of sufficient importance to stir the medical profession throughout the world, were made last night: By Dr. Simon Flexner, director of Rockefeller Institute for Scientific Re- search, New York City—That he had discovered the virus of epidemic polio- myletis. By Dr. Hydeyo Nogouchi, of the same institution—That he had demonstrated the presence of treponema pallidum in the brain of general paresis. Translated from. technical language, the announcement by Dr. Flexner means that the hitherto undiscovered organ- ism which causes infantile paralysis has been found, identified and cultivated. These discoverigs, whose importance is indicated by pronouncement of Dr. L. F. Barker, were made public for the first time last night. The announce- ments by the discoverers were greeted by the physicians, surgeons and med- ical students who had gathered to hear the addresses of these distinguished scientists, with prolonged applause. Illustrating his statements with micro- photographs, Dr. Fletcher told the aud- ience that the organism, which is the cause of infantile paralysis, was one of the smallest which has ever been identified. As shown upon the screen in an enlarged view of a section of the spinal cord infected with it, the germ apepared in a chain-like form, jin a wavy line. Dr. Flexner stated that in the cultiva- tion of it, the use of a medium free from oxygen had been found necessary and that because it could grow only in the absence of oxygen, it would never be found in blood or in any cavity containing oxygen. In the cultivation of it, tissue infected with the virus. was placed in a receptacle from which the pump and under the resultant condition the virus was propagated. Monkeys and Insects. With this virus Dr. Flexner said in- fantile paralysis had been induced in monkeys. Views taken from sections of the spinal cords of monkeys so in- fected were shown, together with views of sections from the spinal cord of hu- man patients who had suffered from the disease and the identity of the or- ganism so demonstrated. Dr. Flexner, referring to a treatise by Dr. Rosenau of Washington, setting forth the discovery that infection with infantile paralysis was caused by the stable fly, said that in his own re- searches he had not been able to es- tablish the fact that infection is caused by the fly, though he had no doubt that Dr. Rosenau had done so. In the course of his experiments, he said, he had employed for observa- tion other insests which were allowed {te monkeys infected with the dis- ease and had found that the insects thus became infected with the germ and retained it after a period of eight days, but he had not succeeded in infecting monkeys with the disease by having them bitten by insects so infected. Serum to Be Sought. The importance of this discovery by Dr, Flexner, &s related to the possible reduction of loss of life and injury to health from infantile paralysis, it was pointed out after his address, Mes in the probability that now that the virus has been identified and with the knowl- edge acquired through his experiments the treatment of the disease may pro- ceed along more definite lines and the discovery of a serum for the. cure of it may be looked upon as practicable and possibly early to be accomplished. Dr. Llewellin F. Barker, professor of medicine at the John Hopkins Univer- sity and one of the leading authorities on medicine in the world, said: ‘“Bither one of these announcements would have been sufficient to make this to have had the pri- vilege of being present when both of them were made, {s an honor which we should record tn our diaries for the pride of our children and grandchil- dren.’”’ “HURRAH FOR KIEL” NOT DISTURBANCE OF PEACE Judge Kimmel Frees Wan Charged With Disturbing a Democratic Watchman. \ | Joseph M.

PUSTOFFICE ROW BECAUSE OF PLACE RIVALRY REPORTED Job Jockeying, Together With Inspection and Threatened Dis- missal, Cause Alarm. Rumors that there has been strife in the St. Louis Postoffice for the last few days were partly confirmed Satur- day morning when it was learned that many clerks had received warnings they might be dismissed. All concerned, from the Postmaster on down, were reluctant to discuss the trouble. There were hints that it was due to a change of national administra- tion with resultant “jockeying” for pre- ferred positions, a controversy between two organizations of clerks over the unionism question and an inspection of the office following complaints of slow mail deliveries. When Postmaster Thomas J. Akins was asked about it he said an inspection was in progress, letters were being re- ceived by clerks, complaint had been made that letters had been sent to com- petent men, and it was probable that a change of national administration had started some maneuvering for choice po- sitions in the office. He declared there was not a ripple on the surface of af- fairs at the postoffice, and everything was running with perfect smoothness. 70 Clerks Cited to Appear. Seventy clerks are said to have been notified to appear Monday before post- office inspectors to show cause why they should not be dismissed for incom- petency. Many others are understood to have received letters warning them that greater efficiency is expected of them. It was reported Saturday that the in- spection of the office grew out of a re- cent brush between Postmaster Akins and the railroads, in which the post- master furnished for publication figures showing that late trains caused late de- liveries. Akins says the inspection is the natura] result of his request for 8% additional regular clerks to take the places of a force put on tempororaily at 30 cents an hour after the parcel post was in- augurated. “My request for 8 additional clerks,"’ said the Postmaster, “‘was referred to the Postoffice Inspectors and they have been looking the office over to see if we are getting full service out of the force that we have. Ours is as good a force as any in the country, if not bet- ter than any other, but naturally some of the men are not as fast as others. The inspectors discover who the slow men are and write them letters admon- ishing them to do better work.

eee ee a ee UUUNCIL, 6109, REFUSES 10 RUSH RAILWAYS BILL Defeat of Seat-for-Each-Passen- ger Measure Seen in Adjourn- ment Vote.

The City Council Friday evening, by a vote of 6 to 5, defeated a motion for a special meeting on Monday to pre mote the Public Service Commission’s seat-for-every-passenger United Rail- ways bill. Of the five who voted for the motion, one, Fletcher, says he is against the bill. Two members, Davis and Lehmberg, were absent and are known as opponents of the Dill. Politicians at the city hall are of the opinion the vote affords no hope that the Council will pass the bill which was passed by the House of Delegates Thursday evening. . The bill was received in the Council Friday. Councilman Haller moved that when the meeting adjourned, it be until Monday, so that the street railway bill and others could be taken up and :1 opportunity be afforded for passing them before the end of the session. Fletcher seconded the motion but said that his object was not to afford an opportunity for passing the bill but ar opportunfty for killing it. He thought the Council should vote it down rather than let it die in committee. The members who voted for a Monday meeting were Caulfield, Haller, Gund- lach, Randall and Fletcher. Those who voted against it were Espenschied, Evers, Leahy, Protaman and Rower. Seven votes are needed to pass the bill. There is thought to be a prob- ability that Randall will vote for the bill with Caulfield, Gundlach and Hal- ler. All the others are expected to vote against requiring the United Railways Co. to give better service. MRS. CLARKSON FREED Woman Who Deserted Pastor Leaves Milwaukee for Chicago.

Four persons lost their lives in a firs in Sangamon street in September, -1911, and it was the fiinding of a Coroner’s jury that passed on the deaths that the} building had been fired. arrests resulted. The name of David Korshak, “now a fugitive, was men- tioned in connection with the fatal fira. Korshak is now supposed to be in China, where he has business interests. While the extradition of a fugitive from China is not possible on an arson charge, the fact that four persons may have come to their death through ?n incendiary’s act, it is thought, may ‘%n- able the State’s Attorney to bring Ko:;- shak back on a charge of murder. ae ee el A Ce LTT A GIRL SUFFERED TERRIBLY At Intervals—Says Lydia E.

All Favor Repeal of Southern Traction Franchise—Socialists Ratify Platform. mary election law the nominees of the Democratic, Republican and Progressive parties met Friday and adopted their platforms. The Socialists also met and ratified a platform which had been pre- viously adopted. The Democratic, Republican and Pro- gressive platforms are remarkable for the similarity of their declarations upon the big. questions which will come up for solution during the next. administration. On the subject of completing the free bridge the three parties couched their declarations in almost identical lan- guage. The Democratic platform in- sists upon immediate completion of the bridge, with approaches that shall be free and untrammeled. The Republican platform declares for the completion of the bridge, with free approaches that will result in the abolition of the bridge arbitrary. The Progressive party favors the com- pletion of the bridge, with free and un- trammeled approaches into neutral terri- tory, giving preference to the Northeast approach. The party does not commit itself unequivocally to the Northeast approach, but will stand for that ap- proach until some other equally as good is suggested. Reber Approach Opposed. The repeal of the Reber approach legislation is demanded by the Progres- sives. While the Democratic and Re- publican candidates are opposed to the Reber approach, these two parties’ made no demand for the rey%al of the legis- lation. The three parties declared in favor of the repeal of the Southern Illinois trac- tion franchise. The Progressive party loop in the business district of the city to be built and owned by the city for the pur- pose of giving interurban lines using the free bridge adequate facilities for getting into the, city. The Democratic platform declared in favor of the employment of St. Louis union labor on all municipal work. The Progressive party demanded that none but qualified voters of St. Louis be em- ployed in city work. The Republican platform is silent on this subject. * For Cheaper Water Rates. All parties went on record as favor- ing’ the collection of the mill tax, and opposed to any compromise with United Railways’ by which it might be re- lieved of the payment of the taxes now due the city. The Progressives declared for the re- call, and the amendment of the charter to make the initiative and referendum easier of application. The Republicans also declared in favor of the recall, but the Democratic platform contained no reference to this subject. The three parties all declared in favor of cheaper water rates, and an adjust- ment of the rates that would eliminate existing discriminations. The Democrats declared in favor of municipal lodging houses, the readjust- ment of city salaries on a basis com- mensurate with the services rendered, for the extension of the play grounds, bath houses, public comfort stations and the enlargement of the zoo. The party also commended the administra- tion of Rolla Wells when he was Mayor, and called attention to the fact that St. Louis was given ‘‘clear and palatable water’ under a Democratic administra- tion. Republican Pledges. The Republicans pledged themselves to continue thea Lipartisan School Board | system, favored universal transfers, ex- tension of playgrounds, an open door policy for inévstrial extension to be encouraged by cheaper freight rates, and cheaper rates for fuel and light. The party favours the adoption of a charter to sim‘\lify and modernize the city governmen*. It also favors an eight-hour workday, with preference to St. Louis citizens on all city work: The Progressive platform contains bev- eral declarations not found in the Dem- ocratic or Republican platforms. The yparty declared in favor of the exten- sion of the waterworks system, for the mprovement of the public school system, for the construction of a municipal gar- | bage reduction plant, for the free sprink- ! ling of streets by the city, for the equip- | ment of the fire department with auto- mobiles to prevent losses by fire, for the revision of license taxes upon mercan- tile and other business of St. Louis, for the proper care of the sick and poor in the city institutions, for civil service in city affairs, and an amendment to the public service bill passed by the Legis- lature, restoring to St. Louis absolute power to abolish grade crossings. The Progressive platform contains a plank denouncing the alleged use of patronage by the present administra- tion to control legislation as a form of bribery. The platform also declared for the use of voting machines, for a zoo, and reaffirmed allegiance to the minimum wage for women plank of the national platform, and all’ other humanitarian planks governing industrial occupations.

UNION AV. GRADE GROSSING BILL Payment of Consequential Dam- ages of $4000 by City Is° Approved.

The passage of a bill Friday by the House of Delegates ordering the Ter- minal Railroad Association to abolish the grade crossing on Union avenue, near Bircher street, with a provision that the city shall pay the consequen- tial damages, will assure the immediare construction of a viaduct over th2 tracks, the Terminal having already agreed to the plan. The next crossing to be considered will be that of the Frisco snd Missour! Pacifico tracks at Tower Grove avenue, reads Committee of the House. Chair- man Roy M. Eilers of the Committee said Saturday that although he was opposed to the bill, he expected his committee would report it favorably. The action of the House in approv- ing the Union avenue bill, which had already passed the Council, is consid- ered by the members of the Board of Public Improvements to be the entering wedge in an administrative policy of payment of consequential damages by the city in abolishing all grade cross- ings. The consequential damages iat the Union avenue crossing arte esti- mated at less than $4000, but it is ad- mitted that they will be much greater at Tower Grove avenue. Eilers told a Post-Dispatch reporter his reasens for opposing the payment of consequéntial damages at Tower Grove avenue. “I am in favor of the city paying such damages when the amount ia small,”’ he said. ‘I realize that it is much easier to get the grade crossings abolished in this manner, but I do nt favor the .payment of large sums, such as will be necessary at Tower Grove avenue. “I shall probably vote against a fa- vorable report on the Tower Grove ave- nue crossing, but from the information I have I am inclined to believé that the committee will be against me.”’ Delegates Oviatt, Methudy and Eckel- mann, members of the committée, said they were in favor of the payment of consequential damages -by the city, though Eckelmann stated that he might change his mind ff investigations showed that the damages at Tower Grove ave- nue would reach several hundred thou- sand dollars. The Tower Grove avenue crossing bil! probably will be voted on at a specia! meeting Monday afternoon.

Predatory poverty is as dangerous to the Com- monwealth as predatory plutocracy. Both are to be feared and condemned. e Have we reached a condition in St. Louls when it is necessary for candidates to draw class dis- tinctions and to foment class hatreds; when can- didates feel that*they must denounce and repudi- ate the wealthy merely because they are wealthy, and promise special favors to the poor? We do not believe it, but if it is so, as Mr. Kiel seems to think, we are in a bad way indeed; we have reached a point where none but demagogues need try for office. |

Un- less the name of the board has ceased to have any reference to the eligibility of its members, the right of these men to sit on the board is subject to attack. : The framing of a new charter is too important a matter to permit any chances to be taken with the legality of the work at any stage.

In most respects, the bill to regulate the chattel loan business is in line with suggestions made by the Post-Dispatch. It is less stringent than the act of Congress regulating the business of loaning money in the District of Columbia; whica fixes the license fee at $500 per ‘annum, restiicta the rate of interest to 6 per cent per annum, and requires a bond of $5000 “The Setiate bill just passed requires a. license fee.of $25.per an- num, allows interest at 2 per cent a month, and requires a bond of $250C. But it is a great im- provement on existing legislation, and its penal- ties and bond requirement should go far towards preventing the exactions which have made the business of chattel loaning odious. The District of Columbia has the provision that individuals or companies engaged in the loaning business shall keep books, showing all transac- tions, open at all times to inspection by the au- thorities. Publicity has proved the most potent weapon against abuses. If amendments are made in the bill, this should be included. It no goes t> the House, and the fact that it passed the Senate without a dissenting vote indicates that on the whole it will meet with public approval. >= S = — ae A single plank may be enough fo! a bridge plat- form, but candidates must remember that th :

Yesterday, while two small boys, who are in my care, their mother be- ing dead, were playing with their skates, which were bought for them by their father, in the

néighborhood of Abner placés a boy whom I would | - judge from description to be about 13 years old, came up to them and asked them to’ let him look at the skates. The children} in all confidence and ready to oblige, handed them to him to look at, whereupon he said they were his and started to run away. The children protested, but he ran on reorth to Natural Bridge road and then west till lost sight of. The little- boys grieve for their Skates, and I grieve in sympathy and to think that anyone can be so dastardly mean to those Smaller and younger and who have offered him no offense. Is not this deed about as black as that of the late dog poisoner? But like the soul- ful sentiment expressed in the article, “A Minis- ter’s Reproof to a Dog Poisoner,” I teach the little Ones that they should be glad to suffer the loss of their skates, rather than be the boy who would gain them by such heartless dishonesty. Can any 00d woman be glad of such a son? | V. T. Spanish Swindlers Still Active. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am wondering how many people in 8t. Louis got the letters from Spain with the chance to make all that easy money? I am one, but thought it impossible that any “suckers” could be left to bite and so just saved the stamp for a Httle friend who is collecting stamps and threw the letter away. But publicity of this fool business is the right idea. WILLIAM. Wants to Try Initiative on S. FP. E. P. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . I remarked you started a campaign sometime ago for better car service, also your article in to-

The jury, one by one, had tucked their handkerchiefs inside their wilted col- jars, then had strippea off their coats, and now sat, a study in blue,-red and pleid shirt sleeves, all inwardly cursing the fate that called them to jury duty such intolerable weather. A cool, fair- minded jury, indeed! But there was one person in the court- room that cared neither for the heavy silence nor the oppressive heat. The de- fendant was a young man, under 30; the whiteness of his clean-cut face was intensified by dark lines of dissipation under his eyes. He held his head high, scorning to feel the disgrace of his po- sition or to ask any mercy. Even the crankiest member of the jury felt vague- ly that he was not just like the other timorous, or sullen, wretches who had come before them during that _term of court. He himself could hardly account for the strange exhilaration, the wonderful hope that possessed him. Even the wit- nesses ‘against him, who in turn had come to the stand and testified as one man concerning his evident guilt, smiled at him as they stepped down. That bad affair with the inkeeper at Paterson had been painted pretty dark; but, al- though things looked rather black for him from that point of view, his high hopes were not daunted for a moment. His lawyer was so encouraging, and the case seemed so plainly merely one of hard luck on his part. Aimlessiy his thoughts turned to the day before. And last night, ‘what a fiendish nightmare it had been. Dimly he remembered standing for hours in an agony of remorse and fear, with his elbows on the sill and the cool night air blowing through the barred window on his feverish face. There had been a queer lurid glow in the sky, and then it had faded to inky blackness, and toward morning it had rained, till he thought the slow, monotonous patter would drive him mad—@nd he had stood there till lonk& after dawn. But all that was changed now. And he smiled confidently, watch- ing the effect of his lawyer's Words on the people. His eye lighted in contempt on che jaded little clerk bending over hia “writing; how old and weary and dried- up and humdrum he looked. And ite himself was so overflowing with life, ‘with the splendid joy of living and with the thoughts of that new and higher life now being unfolded to him. aes old life was dead and gone. “Jove!” he told himself, ‘“‘there are 80 many big things a fellow can do— guch a many big things and such satis- faction working day and night toward gome one end.

She then care- fully massaged her face and neck un- til the liquid dried and left the skin an even white color. “You are very careful and partic- ular,” I remarked, and asked “Why?” “I’m an ‘American Maid,’” she an- swered, and shot me a bright, smil- ing glance over one well” rounded, pink shoulder. The rouge pot was next on the scene. The carmine was also dusted on with a brush very sparingly and very smoothly. Just enough to bring lback the pretty, healthy glow which had been covered up and completely hidden under the coat of whitening. Eyes! The eyes were the next and perhaps the most interesting of all. Here was a surprise for me, for I fully expected to see great gobs of blue greasé lavishly applied to the lids. I was mistaken. Blue was put on with the fingers very smooth and very sparingly. I asked no questions this time. A candle was lighted by Miss Gun- ning’s maid, and a small, slender black stick thrust into the flame and left there until it was sizzling hot, and that was to head the “American Maid’s” eyelashes. “Oh, doesn’t it burn?” I could not help asking. “No,” she answered, “and what’s more it is good for the lashes, the grease makes them grow. The reason that I do not use much blue on my eyes in this part is that it has a lanquid and blase. This would never do for the bright-eyed, energetic little maid of our land who never lags and is always ‘up to snuff.’ The ‘Ameri- can Maid,’ who loathes laziness and is ‘chock a block’ with happy, healthy things’—and just in the middle of this talkative mood. Miss Gunning found that her mouth had to be done. These things take less time to do than they do to tell. There was only a moment’s silence and the mouth was well rouged and well shaped, and Miss Gunning went on: “T never make my mouth into a cu- pid’s bow because the broad, frank lines have much more character and suit this part far better.” This’ was said as she whitened her hands with that same wonderful white fluid and carefully massaged it into the skin as before. “Of course, you understand that one could have a perfect American complexion, and if one donned a for- eign costume—well, one could scarce- > oe oF Li, ly hope to look American. “For that reason and also because I adore them I wear American clothes. All these gowns were bought in America and made in America. They are essentially our own. The shoes are American. “My hair (which, by the way, is auburn, a very popular color with American siieha is dressed in an American style. Altogether I am — well, you know—tbe American Maid is very chic, dainty, unaffected, girl- ish, frank and happy.

CERTAIN Man had a Goose which laid him a Golden Egg every day. A foolish friend advised him to kill the Goose and realize at once on the fu- ture. “No,” said the Man, “that is not the proper way.

This enabled him to buy the stock back at a low figure. Then he gave out the report that the Goose was laying two Eggs a day, which enabled him again to sell the stock at a big advance. After he had repeated this process a number of times he was so rich that he didn’t care what the Goose laid or when.

But Mrs. Chaucer was not wholly at fault— the poet had an affinity. ° Pope’s lines: Born to no pride, inheriting no strife, Nor marrying discord in a noble wife, are supposed to refer to the marriages of Dryden and Addison.

She once rebuked Dryden by the re- mark that if she had been a book he would have shown her more attention.

Addison might have spent his even- ings at home if he had been happler there instead of staying at taverns late and drinking too much. As a rule a man will, stay where he likes it best. Titian, the great painter, had a dom- ineering, dictatorial wife who demanded an itemized accounting of all his ex- penditures, and, though very rich, the poor man was often perplexed to know how he might buy a drink and not let his wife find it out. Andrea del Sarto, the distinguished painter of the sixteenth century, mar- ried a widow whose ‘unreasonable jeal- ousy made his friends afraid to visit him. Even the pupils who risked stay- ing with him in the hope of learning from him, like their master, suffered continually from her words and even blows.

Expectations raised high by training camp stories will be disappointed when thé Indian appears. The fact is, Thorpe is so poor in his early showing that, were he a less {- mous drawing card, he would be dropped at once. Needless boosts have ruined many a ball player in the making. McGraw says of Thorpe: “He knows very little of baseball, and therefore has little to unlearn. But thev are making it hard for him by prais- ing him when he doesn't deserve It. He’s too crude. He may learn the game after long and patient teaching. But he’s too ignorant for major league ball now.” Here are a few of the Indian’s faults, as shown in training camp. Leses his stride in making turns on the bases. Doesn’t know how te get away from the plate—slow men beat him down slide. He is awkward in the outfield and flies repeatedly. He can’t hit a curve ball. He doesn’t knew any of the arts or tricks. of the game, and little abeut the interworking of a team’s units on defense and attack. That's quite an array of charges; but, if anything,: the case against him is stronger by a few points than others that have been mentioned. In his favor —and these are the things that prepos- sess MoGraw to lean toward giving Thorpe a thorough trial before being released—are’ the following points: He has tremendous native speed. He’s attentive and obedient and seems cager to learn. oe He swings powerfully at and drives it far when he lands. He can hit either @ high or low ball, if ite straight. He’s strong and game.

The &-yard event, as prescribed for reluctant athletes by the A. A. U. pro- vides four hurdles, at ten yards dis tances, leaving a space of 10 yards at the start and finish. Unfortunately all hurdlers are ac- customed to a lb-yard take-off before the first hurdle. Each has adapted his stride to this distance and knows the exact number of steps necessary in getting to the first jump. Now comes the 10-yard take-off which breaks up this calculation and puts the runner through strange paces, which may not bring him up to the first hurdle in best position for clearing it. The existence of the rule is due to the ‘misfortune which put it up to a man who had never been in a race to errange the conditions under which 60- yard hurdle events are now contested It’s ohe of many rules the A.

HOUSTON, Tex., March 14—Manager George Stovall chaperoned the \juvenile Browns into Houston, this morning, for & game today with the Houston (Texas League) team.

The four games to be played in this see- tion of the country in the next two days are expected to do the players a world of good. Houston and Beaumont are farther south than Waco and warmer climate is expected, although Stovall says he is well satisfied with the pro- gress made by the men during their stay in Waco. Men in Fine Oonditien. There are few sore arms and limbs in the big baseball party. In the opinion of Stovall another week of good, warm weather will enable him to return to St. Louis with a well-conditioned troupe of tossers. After the return to Waco considerable time will be devoted to hitting prac- tice. With the pitchers able to put “stuff” on their deliveries, the batsmen will be afforded an opportunity to show their prowess as hitters. Then the interesting scrap for berths on the team will begin. Men like Sloan, Walker, Johnston and Bonin, aspiring for jobs in the outfield, will have it out among themselves to see who is going to hook on regularly. It is Stovall's intentioneto retain five outfielders. Shot- ton is ‘sure of his job. Compton and Williams are the only holdover outfield. ers who are reasonably certain of being retained. That means only two of the others will be kept. ‘ Big Stick te Decide. The same goes for the tnflelders. Fred Graff, Dee Walsh, Red Roche and Him- ery Olson have already proved their worth as fielders. Their future as big leaguers depends on what they can do in a hitting way. President Hedges will remain in Hous- ton to look after this squad and inatl. dentally arrange, if possible, to pluck Doak Roberts’ most promising bal) tosser next fall. Chariey Snyder, the pitcher-bomer, fears that his arm is gone. He has great pains tn his salary whip whenever he tries to throw & curve and he believes that an injury to the right wing last season is going to plove fatal to him, so far as pitching is concerned.

\Claenien to Bar Poker Cause ill-feeling and jealousy among his men, ARCHER DEMANDS SAME fered every day. Playing; Smoking and Drinking Not Taboo NEW YORK, March 15.—Restrictions upon the conduct of major league baseball players which have included anti-liquor clauses in contracts signed by Cincinnati and Pitts- burg National League players and a bar against cigarette smoking by the Chicago Nationals, have taken a new turn. Frank Chance, the new manager of the New York Americans, will bar poker play- ing for money by his men. Chance believes that poker games often there being some experts who cause trouble by ‘‘fleecing’’ youngsters fresh from minor leagues. : Chance, however, will not insist upon total abstinence from either cigarettes or liquor, but drinking to excess will be dealt with severely.

SALARY AS BRESNAHAN CHICAGO, March 15.—Jimmy Archer, hold- out catcher of the Chicago National baseball team, is ip town and announces he would not sign a cOntract that would not pay him $7500 a year. He considers himself the first catcher on the team on last year’s showing and asks if Bresnahan is paid that much, why should not he receive the same. He expects to have a showdown with Mur- phy on Monday. If the $7500 ts not forth- coming he will bring suit to have the fre- serve rule knocked out ang be‘a free agent.

Case won the decision against him in an open meet this season, but he didn't deserve it, according to ringside ob- servers, who saw Nick finish ip fron. Nicholson Can Beat Case. Nick has held Case safe whenever he must beat is Wendell, and that he will surpass this flyer is hardly probable, since Nicholson is not at his best In- doors. Conditions favor him, however, as by agteement there will be a Ii5- yard take-off to the first hurdle, leav- ing only a five-yard sprint after the last one. As Nick’s strong point is covering ground over the sticks and not in the sprint, he should have an itmproved chance to trim the champion of 1913, Wendell. The showing of Reller, the Cornell boy from: St. Louls, is also interesting men who follow the fortunes of Mound City collegé men on track and field. Refler has béen placed on scratch in the 5)- yard handicap event in a field of near- ly 30 entries. He’s the only man ae corded this place, and if he wins it will indeed be a justification of the many nice things that have been said about his speed. It’s Easy for John Paul. John Paul Jones, the famous miller, holder of the world’s record, and an 1000 yards race against [Irvin Biel, Steele and others. He outclasses his field and, barring accidents, wil} romp home, if in form. , Ted Meredith, an Olympic winner, here with the Pennsylvania University team, will have harder picking, as he meets the famous Ira Davenport, alto of the Olympic team, as well as Plant of Notre Dame, Cozzens of Cornell and others in the invitation 60@ygrd race, Meredith is the best man of the out- fit, although Davenport is a bear at this distance. k Perhaps the most interesting competition from the etandpoint of the general pubilc will be the relay race between the univers! 7 ty teams of the championship of the United States The very best quartets that Beth schools banks at the Coliseum prove O EK. Other re- llay races on the program are numerous, more than a fosen being scheduled, among them dual events between Missourl and Kansas and Missour!t Valley Conference teams, An- other, that for the Valley Conference title, will draw here the three best relays west of the Mississippi. Locally, Washington University, St. Louis U., Christian Brothers’ College and the high schools have entered men either as teams or individuals. On the program are eight open handicap track and field events, several high schoo! relay and open ¢vents, and three scratch events open to all, besides the relay races. “he eventa have filled plentifully and good competition is expected.

Miss Martyn’s investigations have been among girls who work for small pay; among those who live at home and those who are dependent entirely . upon themselves; she has found out how much they spend for food, for clothing and other necessities. All these facts, gathered carefully, will present the matter as if from the workers themselves. Be Sure Pasha. Get Tomorrow How Working Girls
