DOCTOR ARRESTED AFTER FINDING AS TO GIRLS DEATH Coroner’s Inquiry Decides Do- mestic Died Following an Operation.

A Coroner's jury, which inquired into the death of Miss Bertha Morstain, a do- .mestic in the home of F. E. Allen, 4319 Washington avenue, and who was sup- posed to have died from tuberculosis, returned a verdict Saturday morning to the effect that the girl had died from an unlawful operation, and blamed Dr. J. P. Werner of 5079 Ridge avenue. Dr. Werner was arrested. Dr. Werner denied at the inquest that he had performed any operation on Miss Morstain, but admitted that he hag her. The death certificate stated that the cause of death had been phthisis. Mr. and Mrs, Allen have been out of the city for several weeks and the girl haz been staying alone at theix home. The neighbors did not see her about the premises for several days and on last Tuesday they got a negro woman, Min- nie Crawford of 1522 Washington av- cnue, to go to the Allen home. After knocking on the doors for some time the negress testified she heard groans coming from a room upstairs. She entered and found Miss Mortain in bed in a serious ccndition. She stayed there until Friday, when the young woman died. During the meantime Dr. Werner called at the house every day, she said. When the negro woman reported the death to the neighbors they immediately Dr. D. F. Hoch- toerfer held a post mortem examination He told the Coroner that death had been caused by peritonitis due to an unlawful operation. At the inquest Dr. Werner testified that Miss Morstain had called to see him on March 18 20 and 22, and that he had given her treatments. He said that he went to the Allen home to visit his patient on March 26, 26 and 27. Miss Morstain had been employed at the Allen home for the last three years. Her mother, Mrs. Charles Morstain of St. Jacob, Ill., attended the inquest. ye BULGAR ARMY PIERCES TCHATALJA DEFENSES Invaders Are Within 30 Miles of Turkish Capital and Pushing on to City.

Player, Democrat, was recommended for Comptrol- ler over Charles T. Stickel, Republican, and Anthony F. Ittner, Progressive. Henry C. Menne, Democrat, was indorsed for City in” ‘Slate Sree Rep ot fare. His experience does not especially qualify him for this office. Leon W. Quiek, Republican; resides at 763 Euclid avenue; present incumbent. Contrary to his oath of office and the State constitution and the city charter, instead of devoting his entire time to the duties of hig office, the salary for which is $5000 per year, he spent much of his time outside of his office. He is an officer of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers and maintains an office as such in the’Star building. While president of the Washington National Bank he made attempts to secure an order of the City Fund Commission, of which he was a member, placing city funds on deposit in that bank.

While Water Commis- sioner, he made certificates to vouchers in favor of the City Construction Co. for extra work and labor under a con- tract for furnishing water pipe. These ‘‘extras’’ were for concrete meter boxes furnished without competition at a price almost twice as great as they were fur- r.shed for under competitive bids short- ly after he resigned. Some months be- fore, Mr. Adkins had been instructed tnat all requisitions made for meter boxes must provide for competitive bid- ding.

ig the central theme in Mrs. + Humphrey Ward's new and some- what didactic novel, “The Mating of Lydie.”’ Wealth may be a curse or a bilésing, according to the character of’ the person who possesses it; corollary to this proposition is another to the effect that the pos- seéésion of wealth is also a test of char- acter. A person of strong and rightly- grounded character will find in it a recognized blessing—he will make wealth hig, servant, enjoying it to the fullest de- “ree and at the same time employing it to benevolent and charitable ends. But © &@ man may make himself a servant of wealth, if his character is not well- ordered, and, in his worship of Mammon, he will twist and stunt and torture his soul until he becomes but a wreck and ruin of what the Creator intended he should be. She proceeds to the demonstration of her moral by holding a clinic on the characters of divers persons, the souls of some of whom have been shamefully corroded by money, while those of oth- ere come out of the golden alembic without a tinge of dross upon them. The record of tests is woven around a@ love story in which Lydia Penfold, “am unworldly tempered and poetic young artist, making her own way, is the central figure. Young Lor’ Tat- ham who, with his mother, is an ex- ample of a person whg makes money, hig servant and the instrument of be- nevolence and real happiness, having had it from the beginning and not having had to earn it himself, wishes to wed her. But, much as wealth would do for her, she shuns acquiring it under such circumstances, since she does not love Tatham and she realizes that “metely to mar-, him for his great fortune would destroy the best in her. She turns to Claude Faversham, a briefless young barrister, whom she re- ally does love. Faversham’'s character is about to undergo the acid test of wealth. An accident thrusts him into the home of Edmund Melrose, the shocking example of what wealth mis- applied will do to a man. Money is Melrose’s god and he is its most loyal servant. He is selfish and tyrannical, an oppressor of the poor and a land- Stearns’ Electric his tenants. Faversham wears some rare gems when they meet. Melrose is a fanatical collector of curios of all kinds. It. is his only diversion from making money. The gems win his favor for Faversham, who becomes, first, his secretary and then his agent. Lydia is struck with horror at this latter relation, since Faversham, hitherto her ideal of an un- selfish idealist, whose sole inspiration is his love of his fellow man, must be- come the instrument of old Melrose’s oppressions. But Faversham deludes himself into the belief that he can change Melrose’s oppressions into benev- olences. The prospect of wealth has be- gun to corrode Faversham’s soul, Lydia sees, and he is already seeking the easiest way to fall. Her hope is com- pletely crushed when Melrose makes his will, leaving all his property to Faver- sham, with the understanding that it shall be used as Melrose would: have used it and not “squandered” in the pursuit of fantastic ideals. Later, just as Melrose is about to re- voke the will because Faversharh re- fuses to gratify his whim for the pos- session of the curious gems that brought them together, and which he insists on keeping because they came from a dead friend, the plutocrat is killed by the son of a man he had persecuted re- lentlessly for years. Thus the corrod- ing relation is ended, Faversham, 4n whom one never heartily believes, is saved at the eleventh hour and the mat- ing of Lydia is accomplished happily. What do they do with Melrose’s ill-got- ten gains? Well, the reader is left un- der the impression that the fortune is to be used jn the amelioration of the con- Gition of humanity. As a matter of fact, Melrose left an unconditional, never hav- ing really carried out his intention of inserting the clause fully understood between him and Faversham against the use of the money in the propagation of idyllic nonsense. Thus Faversham was really left at liberty to do what he pleased with it. (Doubleday-Page.) THE DAUGHTER OF BRAHMA, HE East is the East and the West ‘2 the West. This is the teaching j of “The Daughter of Brahma,” an unusual novel by I. A. R. Wylie. It is the story of an attempt of a mor- \bid, misanthropic young English gen- tleman to bridge the gulf between the East and the West with an exotic love ess. It ends in disaster, tempts may be expected to end. The West asserts its claim upon the man of the West and the woman or the East goes back to her East. The bridge, builded upon such uncertain founda- tions, goes down in tragedy and the gulf remains as wide as ever. But no wider than it should. For the East is the East and the West is the West. The characters are vividly drawn. The eternal conflict between the mysticism of the Fast and the materialism of the West is interpreted with.the touch of the poet, rather than that of the moral- ist. Because his is so the author may the beginning of the love of the En- glishman and the daughter of Brahma the shadowland of a _ religion of (Bobbs-Merrill.) in mysticism. WOODS HUTCHINSON AGAIN, HATEVER one may think of W Woods Hutchinson as a medicine doctor, there’s no getting around the fact that he’s a great little literary doctor. He writes books between surgi- cal operations and professional calls, giving freely and without stint advice on how to dispense with both the surgeon and the physician. His latest is “‘Com- mop Diseases’ and it is full of heart- to-heart talks on how to handle the most ordinary ailments that beset a mor- tal. He discusses dyspepsia, the care of the liver, catarrh (which he calls our national nasal luxury), asthma, hay fe- ver, kidney trouble, worry, heart dis- ease, why we grow deaf, insomnia and the prevention of old age. He aims to show, as he expresses it, “that no longer is the doctor inseparately associated with the druggist and the undertaker.”’ Despite the fact that the doctor is writing on what ordinarily are prosaic subjects, he makes them, by his facile © ord without consideration or mercy for PICTURE REVIEW. “The Career of Dr. Weaver,’ by Mrs. Henry Backus.

og nage yogi ma sama SALUTE THE SEASON! Baseball is beginning, and that is some consola- tion. The batting average or percentage of life really worth living is only about .500. Our youth who sponges the postage stamps (we mean.only in the sense of dampening them), totes proof and answers to the general endearment of “Boy!” will inform you that the past six months have been pretty darn dull. Jt is true we have changed Presidents and national policies, and a lot of other things, but it has been a long, hard wait for the time when the leather sphere would scud through the fresh green grass like swift Camilla scouring the plain, or the crack of the hickory exhilarate like martial music. ‘But now is the winter of his discontent made glorious summer. The eutectic and softly melt- ing snow reveals the verdant diamond all bagged and limned for business, and from the dressing rooms at the horizoa’s verge trot forth the embat- tled’ idols of boydom. A preliminary skirmish, a swat or two, a little spiiting on the _ spissous sphere to give it spirals, a bawled “Play ball!” from the basso vocals of the arbiter of inelegances —and the season has opened, humanity is happy once more. With baseball going we can bear ’most any- fing else. Tariff revision is not going to seem go cruel. The war clouds over the Balkans and elsewhere are not going to worry us as much as they might otherwise. Even our recent calami- ties are going to be alleviated somewhat. It is recorded that at San Francisco after the earth- quake all of the population spent its time at the ball park, and rendered itself quite cheerful there- by. Here’s to good baseball everywhere! a Le Le — a The suit of a Greek St. Louisan against a French steamship company because of its failure te honor his ticket in time to enable him to fight the Turks, presents knotty points.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the com- plete report of the Municipal Voters’ League deal- ing with the records of candidates for city offices to be voted on at Tuesday’s municipal election. The Post-Dispatch presents the recommendations of the league as a matter of public information. ._It is a matter of regret that the league did not see fit to comment more specifically on the public record of Henry W. Kiel, Republican can- iidate for Mayor, as it reviewed with great par- tieularity Dr. Simon’s public acts as Health Com- missioner of St. Louis. No mention is made in the league’s report of the fact that Mr. Kiel, through his contracting firm, indorsed the Ran- ken tract bill and opposed virtually every free bridge bond issue advocated by the administra-

———e tion. When the bridge bond issue was submitted | for the second time in August, 1912, a committee of the Retail Merchants’ Association paid to each member of the Republican City Committee $10 a precinct to be used in getting to the polls voters known to be friendly to the bond issue. Despite this support, the bond issue was defeated, and the hand of the Kiel faction was shown after the election when the Republican City Committee adopted a resolution condemning the Reber ap- proach and espousing the so-called northeast ap- proach. The Post-Dispatch holds no, brief for Dr. §Sj- mon, but in fairness to his candidacy the Mu- nicipal Voters’ League, in summing up the charges preferred against him as Health Com- have at least-stated that while the trial pro- ceeded regularly, the Mayor acted as Judge, pros- *s record In politics was that of a spoilsman, but the acts cited against him as Health Com- oner were partially redeemed by the good accomplished for the city eleemoysnary in- tions. The league should have given all the facts on the mayoralty candidates. a i, ae — a The blockade of the mails from the East is not- able Mm its effects on newspapers largely made up of syndicate matter.

In my pinion it is a very unjust one. Instead of the asis being that of efficient work and years of faithful service, it rests upon the fact of whether ou “stand in” with your principal or not. In rder to “stand in” with him it is necessary to flatter him and make him believe that he Is a wonderful creature and, of course, this is dis- gusting to a teacher who has ideals. Who is this pricipal? Very likely he is an ut-of-town man from some little village where e was never heard of and, what is more, a man with very little experience in conducting a school. first-class schools He comes to our city, gets one of our and is allowed to mark cap- years of experience in teach- promotion.

——— ——— _— The United Railways Have Solved the (Public) Servant Problem.

PUBLICITY FOR PUBLIC BATHS. From the Chicago Tribune. Some time ago New York city discov- ered that its free public baths are not used as widely as was to be expected. Investigation disclosed the fact that the baths were not used to their full ca- pacity because there were great masses of people in the slums who were not aware of the existence of such insti- tutions. Instantly a campaign of pub- licity was set on foot, with the result that in 1912 a million more bathers availed themselves of the public baths than in the preceding year. Strange as such a situation may seem, it is not unnatural. There are sections in New York, as well as in other large cities, which are reproductions of the old world communities. The people who live in these districts seldum leave their immediate neighborhoods. Living in| ugly tenements, they can hardly con- ceive that stately buildings which, in their estimation, are palaces fit for roy- alty to Iive in, are in reality public bathhouses, and are accessible to them free of charge.

THE LOSS THROUGH RUST. From Popular Mechanics. One iarge American railway system suffers a loss of more than 18 tons of metal daily, due solely to the effect of rust. Thus far the only known prevent- ive {is to keep the metal surface always covered with a suitable paint. ‘Some idea of the costliness of this remedy, how- ever, may be gained from the fact that it requires about $10,000 annually to paint one large railway bridge alone. A typi- cal case of this kind is the Brooklyn bridge, upon which a corps of painters are constantly employed, as the weather makes repainting of ome end of this large structure necessary before the workers have reached the other. Al- though experiments have demonstrated that pure iron surrounded by oxygen does not rust, and that some acid, espe- cially carbonic acid, {is necessary for the production of rust, the secret of manufacturing rustless steel and iron re- mains to be discovered. ® ae

THE EDITOR GETS EVEN. from the Kansas City Journal. Last week the editor, business man- ager, advertising solicitor and copy writer of the Ceffeyville Independent put on his hat and made the rounds of the local stores in search of a shoe ad. Failing to arouse responsive enterprise among the Coffeyville merchants, the tired and- disgusted editor, business manager, etc., returned to his sanctum and wrote a stinging rebuke. “This kind of weather demands sood footwear to prevent pneumonia, but none of the Coffeyville firms appears to rave anything in this line to offer In- dependent readers. Here is one of' the places where the mail order catalogue comes in handy as @ reference.’

However, would be arranged. he said he didn’t like to After supper the mother put the two younger chil- turn them away, and it dren in the bed, and as soon as they were asleep she picked them up and laid them aside on the floor. bed, and when they were asleep she also laid them aside on the floor. She then put the two older children in the The bed was, by that time, available for guests, the native explaining that he and his wife would retire to the kitchen. The travelers got into bed, but not without some feeling of shame for having driven the woman out, pos- sibly to sleep on a hard floor. They were, however, very tired and soon went to sleep. When they woke the next morning they found themselves on the floor beside the four children, and the man and his wife in the bed. (Laughter.) Now, friends, a rush for the payroll isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but where the qualification is nothing more than political service, as it no doubt would be under Dr. Simon, to judge by his record, it is diffi- cult to see how the commission form of government could lose. great confidence in the prospect, at any rate. I have 1 think the Doctor will win, and that he wil! be very busy for the next four years moving Democrats, so to speak, from the bed to the floor. ( Laughter.) A good old-fashioned ward Democrat who will eat out of your hand in a campaign, a sort of big pie wagon, a kind of advertisement for a baby food, and the sort of man one feels would be helpless if turned over on his back, I can’t for the life of me see how the commissioy form of government can lose if he wins. (Laughtar.) Now, friends, I don’t want to be misunderstood. If I have said anything indicating that I think we would for Mayor. I am for Dr. Simon spoil a good old family doctor electing Dr. Simon, you get me exactly.

By George, is that our telephone ring- ing?” He secluded himself in a_ telephone booth. No sooner had he done so than the hall door of the room opened slow- ly. Mr. Meyer started and caught his breath. The committee stood at at- tention, as if being photographed. But the arrival was merely Judge Broder- ick, a tall, angular old fellow in a crumpled suit of tweeds. Carl had not observed Judge Broder- ick. Carl’s face was white and set, and he rested both clenched fists on the table, with the air of a United States President, whose entire reputation is at stake, confronting a national crisis in the Cabinet. “Gentlemen,’’. he said firmly, ‘‘there has been a change in our arrangements. Amos Niles is at my house. I shall ex- pect you there within an hour or so. Now, leave this to me—don’'t ask me to waste time by explaining!”’ He could not have lucidly explained, had he wished to. Rosamond, over the wire, had given him a jumbled report, femininely' unbusinesslike and almost incoherent. It was clear from it only that Amos Niles declined to leave Stry- ver’s home. Stryver plunged down the stairs and into a cab. The drive gave him an opportunity to think. He checked items excitedly on his tremulous fingers. He must stop at a florist’s, a wine merchant's, a butcher’s— Abruptly, the gas stove occurred to him. He rapped frantically on the front window of the carriage. “To Deeley'’s!” gcreamed “Deeley the plumber!’ Then, with a sudden spasm akin to toothache, he remembered the cracked glass of his street door. The parlor car- pet, too! What opinion would Mr. Niles have about that? Stryver leaned back in the cab and groaned penitently. Why hadn't he taken care of his home? His fingers strayed to the badge in his la- pel, and he wondered if the Pittsburg millionaire had noticed that the porch needed a painting. ) The carriage rattled up the street to his house, and Stryver dismounted, witn his bundles, resembling an overworked Santa Claus. Rose serenely met him on the steps. “Car)], what celebrating ?’’ “Hush!” he whispered. “Smuggle this gasfitter into the kitchen, can you? Where's Mr. Niles?” “Up in our bedroom, The sweetest old’ people! stove needn't be fixed We've had supper.”’ “Had din—had supper?’’ “Yes,’’ smiled Rose. ‘Mr. it was the best he ever ate. aged pretty well, considering.”’ “Considering my neglect of things. you mean,” supplied Stryver sadly, “I guess, Rose, that boosting, like charity, begins at—oh, my heavens, here he comes downstairs!” A couple of hours later, the five mem- bers of the Board of Trade committee left Stryver’s residence, dinnerless wont happy. Amos Niles, genial in_ shirt sleeves and slippers, had assured them that he was thoroughly satisfied with Leeton, and that one of his factories would be erected there. In the retu:'n- ing trolley car, Mr. Meyer was moved to enthusiastic comment. “And the old plutocrat did look satis- fied, for a fact,’ said Mr. Meyer. “How he chuckled over that doughnut, didn't he? Stryver claimed that it was a.] because of a motor accident, but I be- lieve Carl P. had the whole thing framed up somehow.

A Skin of Beauty is a Joy Forever. DF: T. Felix Coe Oriental ARL P. STRYVER jumped from the moving trolley car and hur- ried up a suburban cross street. His energetic gait was almost a run, but it was dignified by the important expression of his face. He Lad recently acquired the art of always appearing overburdened by vast and imysterious plans. An appreciative passenger on the rear seat of the car spoke to the conductor. “That lad’s a live wire, hey?” “You bet!” agreed the official. “The city of Leeton never had no such @ Looster as Carl P., nor any other city of our size here in Ohier, I guess!” The 12 o'clock whistles shrieked hoarsely as Stryver burst into his house like a tropical storm. Since the day when he resigned his clerkship in the Leeton Bank te accept the office of sec- retary of the new Board of Trade, he very seldom came home for the midday meal, which he had of late learned to call lunch, and which his wife still called dinner. Rose was therefore sur- prised and genuinely pleased to see him, “Why, Carl!’ she cried delightedly from the little dining room. “We can scare un eggs for an omelet,” she’ said, ‘“‘but Deeley’s man hasn't fixed the gas stove. I can’t understand why I shouldn’t attend to that, Carl, a? well as you!” “Of course you can’t understand, dear,’ said Carl. “No woman could understand Board of Trade affairs, any better than she could help in them. Deeley has just joined the board, and I want to get into personal touch with him, so I’ll attend to the stove myself, perhaps tomorrow, Rosamond.” She smiled good humoredly, for she was not yet accustomed to the im- pressive alteration of her name which Stryver had established. “And why not today?” “Today?” he snorted. “Gracious powers! Today is the biggest day in the history of the Board of Trade. Mr. Niles is scheduled to arrive this aft- ernoon—the great Mr. Amos Niles of Pittsburg—and if he takes a shine to Leeton people, and moves one of his boilerworks here, it will be a feather in the board’s cap, I can tell you, that the city won 't forget!” “I do wish you'd stay for din—for luncheon with me!’ said Rose in a slightly changed voice. “We're going to show Mr. Niles how proud -we are of the place we live in, and how we're always trying to make it better. Good-by!” He tripped on a tear in the faded earpet, which even Rose's skilled darning had been unable to remedy, and hastened oist of the front door. The glass of the door was cracked. Carl, scurrying down the street re- membered with a tiny qualm that he had promised Rose to have a new, glass installed. The door needed paint, too—as did the whole house, for that matter. Some day he would have time to look after it, and to buy a new car- pet. Stryver had decided to look after all such domestic details, because he had heard an address at the Board of Trade rooms on “High Cost of Living Due to Unscientific Management.” It was nearly 5 o'clock when the accident happened. An automobiie skidded against a post opposite the Stryvers’ house. There was a muffle] acream from the covered tonneau; and a stout old gentleman clambered out of it to the sidewalk and shook his fist at the chauffeur. “You no-’count idjut!"’ he _ roared. “You've gone and scared my wife into conniption fits again, you French fool!’’ Mrs. Stryver fairly flew to her din- ing room, back to the front door, and down her front steps, bearing a bottle and a giass. ‘There, there, dearie!"’ she said to the limp old lady. ‘Don't you take on. You drink this, and come right into the house and lie déwn, and stay as long as you want to.” The lady accepted the support of Rose's strong young artn without an in- stant’s hesitation. The gentleman ap- peared to be equally accustomed to quick decisions. “Thank you, ma’am,’’ he acknowl- edged. ‘You're real folksy to strangers, for a city woman, ain’t you? Martha’s sort o’ half sick. I'd ought to ’a’ known better than to fetched her on this trip, and—what’'s this? Currant wine? Well, gay! I haven't seen any currant wine in a reg'’lar dog's age!" “I'll give you a farm-made apple pie to go with it,’’ laughed Mrs. Stryver. He beamed gratefully; and while Rose assisted his wife into the house, he tdrned on the French chauffeur, who was tinkering at the wheel. “Listen, you!’ exploded the old gentle- man. “We'll stop here quite a spell. You can mend that axle or not, I don't eare two cents. I'd as lief dump the whole shebang into my boiler works for ecrap iron!” -*Valirv good, touching his cap.

Stryver in honor of the first accom- plishment of the Board of Trade, which was the importation to the city of a shoe factory, now extinct.

Writes: ‘I am in love with a e boy I do not know to speak to, but who smiles when I meet him on the street. How can I find out if he cares for me?’’ I certainly would have nothing to do with a boy who acts as you say this one does. You could not love someone you do not know. I advise you to let him alone.

A child of your age cannot know anything of love. It would be best for you to forget about the young and attend to studies or interest yourself in some useful occupation which would make you much more attractive to a young man when you are old enough to think of such things.
