RAIN, THUNDERSTORMS, TONIGHT AND TOMORROW THE TEMPERATURES, Stage of the river: 23 feet: no Judge Wurdeman Says He Does ‘Not Believe She Is Too III ’ for Bigamy Trial. CASE CONTINUED 9 TIMES Miss Erder and Others in Court Disappointed at Disposition of ‘Charge. The Dora Doxey bigamy case. . which has dragged through nine continuances in 28 motnhs, was brought up ‘with a jerk Monday morning, when Judge Wurdeman of the Clayton Circuit Court declared the woman's bond forfeited and ordered that she be arrested. The woman, who was the wife o? Dr. L. B. Doxey when she was tried here in June, 1910, for, the murder of William J. Erder, is now Mrs. Fred Whitney, and lives with her latest husband in Orfino, Idaho, to which she went after the drowning of Dr. Doxey in the Tennessee River last summer. : The bigamy charge was placed against her by the county authorities shortly after the murder charge, brought in the city, failed. Every time the county au- thorities have tried to bring her to trial it has been represented that she was desperately ill. This assertion was re- peated Monday by. State Senator A. E. I...Gardner, who represents Mrs. Doxey- Whitney. a T Prosecutor Opposes It. Special Prosecutor Julius R. Nolte op- posed this motion. He is retained by Miss Kate Erder, sister of the mail clerk whom the woman is charged with hav- ing bigamously married and whom she was formerly charged with having poi- soned, after the marriage, in order to get his insurance. dope. Nolte asked that the bond, which was for $1500, be declared forfeited. Attov- neys Charles P. Johnson and C. Orrick Bishop and Jefferson Fuller, the wom- an’s father, were signers of the bond Judge Wurdeman granted the motion, and said a caplas for th ewoman’s ar- rest would be given to Shériff Bode for service. Any woman who is able to get mar- tied and make the trip from Tennessee to the far West is able, in my opinion, to make the trip here for her trial,” Judge Wurdeman declared. The Judge asked that the record of the former continuance be read, and it showed that the care was “continued generally.”” He then made the order for- feiting the bond. Miss Erder, who with several] other Witnesses for the State, was in court, was disappointed at the disposition of the case. “I wish she would come here for trial,”’ she told a Post-Dispatch reporter a few minutes after the bond-forfeiture order had been made. “I have a friend in Idaho who is watching the woman’s movements,” she continued. ‘‘This friend has informed me that Mrs. Doxey-Whitney walks three and one-half miles to a postoffice almost every day and apparently is in good health. The woman should have been an emotional actress.’’ HOUSTON SAUSAGE ORDER IS OPPOSED BY PACKERS ni A C » a tr m Restraining Order Asked Against Rule That Would Stop Adulteration. To keep Secretary of Agricultu~e Houston from putting into effect his ideas on the auestion, “What is sau- sage?’ the St. Louis Independent Packing Co. sought a temporary re- straining order Monday in the United States Court. Judge Dyer will hear arguments on the matter at 2 p. m. Tuesday, | The packing «company wishes to have Secretary Houston and two of his subordinates restrained from en- forcing, for the present, Houston’s new order against more than 2 per cent of cereal in sausage, and requir- ing the presence of any cereal to be indicated on the outer wrapper of the package containing the sausage. Houston's order took effect last Tuesday. The company complains that it has many cartons and wrap- pines which would be rendered worth- ‘ss by finmediate application of the new rule, also that the new rule revolutionizes the ‘sausage making industry, and ehould not be applied so- hastily. Secretary Houston, in issu- inuw the order, acted on reports which stated that so much Sausage con- tained 8 to 10 per cent of cereal products, and sometimes 30 or 40 per cent of water. The new order per- mits not more than $3 per cent of water, to facilitate chopping and mix. ing, and in icing. MARSHALL IN A QUANDARY Doesn't: Know What to Do With ‘ Charges Against Senator.

His injuries were treated at the city dispensary and he was taken home. The team of horses was attached to a wagon owned by the Conrades Chair Co., Second and Tyler streets. Henry Meiner Jr., the driver, left the team standing unhitched in front of 416 North Sixth street at 12:20 p. m., while he went {nto a store. Auto Is Used in Chase, The horses became frightened and ran, turning east on Washington avenue. Traffic Patrolman Fillman tried to stop the team as it turned the corner, but it sped past him. He whisteled a warn- ing to Kraus, Who was stationed at Broadway and Washington avenue. Kraus tried to stop the animals as they reached his corner, but was unsuccess- ful. A man in an automobile volunteered to aid Kraus and Kraus jumped onto the running board of the auto. They fol- lowed the team to third street and north to Biddle street. The chauffeur put on full speed and drew alongside the horses and Kraus reached from the running board and caught the bridle of the near- est horse. The animals shied from the auto and jumped to one side. Kraus held to the bridle and was jerked from the auto. He fell under the hoofs of the horses and was trampled. Two wheels of the wagon ran over him and the team dashed ahead. Two Men Catch Team. Two men caught the team half a block further north and held it until other policemen and the driver came up. Mei- ner was given a police summons requir- irg him to appear ir police court to an- swer a charge of leaving his team un- hitched in the street. Kraus was not seriously injured, but he will not be able to attend to his du- ties for several days. He lives at. i414 ‘arrar street.

JOHN SCHMOLL. | Mayor-Elect Says He Will ship and Work for the Growth of the City Submerge Partisan- aa Mayor-elect Kie!, on his train west of St. Louis this morning, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter of his plans for admin- istering the city gcvernment. He named as his first big tasks the completion of the free bridge and the building of a municipal loop for interurban lines. He said that, in administering police and ex- cise affairs under the new home rule laws, he would follow a policy of law enforcement, and would keep the depart- ments out of politics. “It is time for partisanship to get into the background,” eaid Kiel. “The vote of last Tuesday shows this. When the cluralities run as high as 7000 for individ- val candidates on each of the two lead- ing tickets, it is clear that the voters are thinking a lot more about men than they ere about parties. The newspapers and the Municipal Voters’ League had a great deal to do with the result. “The most important offices, from the Mayor’s standpoint, which will be filled by Democrats will be those of Comp- troller and President of the Council. I know Jim Player very well, and I have had business relations with Sam Laz- arus for years, and I believe they will both work with me for the good of the city. As for the Democratic majority in. the House, they were elected on a platform so much like mine that they are pledged tg¢the same thing. Will De@sne Thing at a Time. “T shal keep something before the Assembly, but not too much at once. Instead of throwing a big general pro- gram at them, I shall try to do one thing at a time. “The first big thing is the free bridge, and the first thing to be done is to get money voted for the bonds. We mustn't have th@ bonds beaten again. Before the vote is taken, we will have to get to- Renews His Promise for Law Enforc=ment. gether on an approach. I am not co mitted to any particular one, and a not sure which would be the best. northeast, or Gerhart approach, the people don’t seem to want, and it would be very expensive and difficult of con- struction. “l want to get an approach selected that is practicable, that will be free, and that the newspapers and the people will approve, so that we can get the bonds voted. “One thing is certain, the Southern Traction franchise will have to be re- peale@ not only the bridge part, but the downtown loop. ‘That does net mean that the Southern Traction Co. will be excluded from the city. We shall have te build a municipal! loop, amending our charter, if necessary, to give us the power, and then that line and all others can use the bridge and the loop for a moderate rental, sufficient to pay for maintenance. Freeholders’ Board Can Help. “The new Board of Freeholders may help us in that matter by putting a clause into the nev charter empowering the city to buik ‘a loop. I hope the voard will make ia early start, will keep the public informed of its work as it goes along, and will make all the use possible of the work of the former board. Ninety-five per cent of the work of the former board was aii right, and could be followed by this board, but the plan of keeping the whole charter secret until the last moment, and then spring- ing a big*document on the people to di- gest in a few weeks, was all wrong. " “IT hope to see the election on a pew 3 ‘: i | charter held within a year or s0—cer- tainly in the first Hatt of my adminis tration.”’ Kiel, who was accused during the cam- paign of using the Republican City Committee's influence to obstruct Mayor Kreismann, was asked by the interview- er what his relations with the committee would be, and whether he thought the committeemen would approve his idea of relegating partisanship to the back- ground. “I know the boys on the committee well,”’. he replied, “and I know them to be men who have often put the Party’s interests ahead of their own, and who in the same way will put the city’s in- terest ahead of party. .There needn't be any trouble about patronage, so far as I see. A good many of the party workers have city jobs now—some thirty in my ward, and. about the same in other wards. The situation isn’t what it would be if the Republicans were just coming into control.’’ The Mayor-elect was told of a state- ment attributed to Alexander Robbins attorney for the Evangelical Alliance in its fight on the home rule bills, to the effect that he (Kiei) had pledged him- self to enforcement of the liquor laws. “That’s right,” Kiel replied. “I an for law enforcement. To permit vio lations of the law would be a bad thing for the city, and would .be bad. for the liquor interest itself. The enact-. ment of the county unit bill shows that anti-saloon sentiment is strong in Mis- souri, and an era of lawbreaking in St. Louis would.be very likely to lead to State-wide prohibition, which would work a big hardship on St. Louis. “Personally, I would not object to let- ting summer gardens sel] drinks after ” p. m., or to letting hotels serve their regular guests with drinks on Sunday, but the law cannot discriminate in this manner, and I shall uphold the law.” , the street car s@rvice question, ‘iel said he believed the first thing needed was more cars. He is commit- ted to the early beginning of plans for &@ subway. To Maintain Police Standard. Kiel declared he would do his utmost to keep the police out of politics. “‘The force is in fine shape now,” he said, “and it would be the greatest of mis- takes to let it be demoralized by poll- tics.”’ On the grade crossing question Kiel expressed the belief that it would be necessary for the city to pay ednse- quential damages. The railroads, he said, have adopted the general plan of paying no consequential damages in grade crossing abolition anywhere, and would not make an exception in favor of St. Louis, as they would thus create a precedent they would have to follow elseWhere. Water rate reduction, he said, would help to get new industries, and he said he would advocate a system of discounts which would make successive reductions without requiring new legislation each time. His ultimate aim is free water. “What St. Lowis needs,” he said, “is a lot of new industries, and I shall get my administration busy for conditions which will attract new industries. If we can get even one-half the 20-cent coal arbi- trary knocked off, with the aid of the Interstate Commerce Commission or otherwise, that will be a big help.” As to the “City Beautiful” improve- | Baw wogl wonté-be made free at once, By Associated Press. G | "WASHINGTON, April 7—Removal of all tariff from m articles of food and clothing, broad reductions in the rates of du on all necessaries of life, an increase of tariff on many h and a new income tax*that would touch the pocket of every Amerty can citizen whose net income exceeds $4000 are the striking fea-_ tures of the new Democratic tariff revision bill presented todayy to the House when the special session of Congress ‘con meee Sugar would be free of duty in 1916, the bill proposing an immediate 25 per cent reduction and the removal of the remaining duty in 1916. with a correspondingly heavy Feducti@r ir. the tariff on all woolen goods. These principal items are taken from the free list and taxed: Rough and un- cut diamonds and precious stones, furs, coal tar products, 10 per cent; vena oils, 20 per cent; spices, from 1 cent to - a pound. yan oth rates are estimated to reduce the customs revenue approximately $80, - 900,000 a year. This is expected to be by the income tax. gg art “by President Wilson, the measure represents the efforts of the President and House tariff makers to carry into effect Democratic pledges of downward revision and of concessions to the American consumer. Protection to Farmers Cat in Twe. Protection to the farmer would be cut throughout by more than 50 per cent in an effort to reduce the cost of food. Protection to the steel and implement manufacturer would in turn be cut by fully as wide a margin. — Heaviest reductions fall upon food- stuffs, agricultural products, woolen and cotton clothing. The free wool pfoposal, backed by President Wilson and accepted by the House Committee, is expected to pro- voke a severe fight within the Demo- cratic ranks of both houses. It had not become clear today whether the Demo- cratic opponents of free wool and free sugar in the Senate would be able to force a compromise on one or poth these provisions. The decision to make 4 gradual re- duction in the sugar tariff was reached by the President and the House Com- mittee after Louisiana cane growers de- clined to accept a compromise that would have established a one-cent-per- pound tariff for three years, with free sugar in 1916. % The income tax which will transfer indirect taxes levied through the tariff into a direct tax upon the incomes of in- dividual citizens and corporations, ex- empts all sums below $4000. Incomes in excess of that amount will pay 1 per cent tax up to $20,000; 2 per cent from $20,000 to $50,000; 3 per cent from $60,000 to $100,000, jand 4 per cent above that figure. The nt corpora- tion tax, levying 1 per @ent on corpora- tion incomes above would be re- tained as part of the income tax. To encourage trade with foreign coun- tries the bill would reyerse the maximum and minimum p@ision of the present tariff law. The @ew tariff rates would be the maximum tariff, and the Presi- dent would be given authority to ne- gotiate reciprocity treaties and make concessions to countries that grant fa- vors to American exports. Differeace Over Pian of Precedure. President Wilsor said today he was “on the fence” as to whether the tariff should be revised schedule by schedule or in a single bill. Seven Democratic members of the Senate Finance Committee argued unani- mously with the President for a schedule by schedule revision, but in the end the President said he would Reductions Frem ~ | a ¢ es Chairman Underwood Off the Ways and Means Cont= companying the new t A bill, gave the following made upon necessaries.

LONDON, April 7.—A campaign against the “indignities to woman in the | Anglican marriage service” is the latest | effort of the Suffragist Spiritual Mili- tance League. Fifteen such moral humiliations are | mentioned in the manifesto, which the league is sending not only to every clergyman of the Church of England, but to all persons whose forthcoming marriage igs announced in the daily pa- pers.

Harvey told a Yest- Dispatch, reporter Monday that he hopes the incoming City Comptrvller, Treasurer and Auditor will set to gether proniptly and see that some way ic devised whereby he can obtain 2 on- ey from the $5000 contingent fund al- luwed his office, in order to expedite his work. At present, Harvey, said, @&e is un- able to draw any of this fund in a vance of its expenditure. Frequently he says, instances arise where he needs money to advance to witnesses to pay their expenses to St. Lovis. If he a vinces the money it must come from his own pocket under the present ar- rangement. Much Red Tape Necessary. Warrants for the use of any of the fund must be signed by the Circuit At- torney and one of the Circuit Judges of the criminal division. Harvey saié Comptroller Taussig and Treasurer Quick have told him that under the city charter, according to a ruling made by former City Counselor Walther, they are not authorized to pay out money from the contingent fund until bills showing how it has been expended are submitted. “I think that in a city of the size of St. Louis,” said Harvey, “such a situa- tion is absurd. Some time ago we had a man named Boyle Glynn, charged with forgery. It was necessary to have 45 witness a bank official in a Tennessee town. I had to send him money for his expenses on the trip out of my own pocket, then wait till I presented the bill for reimbursement.”’ Last Wednesday, the Circuit Attorney said, $10 was required to get a witness here. Harvey said he declined to use his own money. “Pajama Burglar” Wanted. John Novack, known as “the pajama burglar,” is in Belgium and the Circuit Attorney wants to get him back Mere for trial. . Harvey says it would cost $200 te bring the accused man to St. Louis and to do it he would have to ad- vance the sum out of his own pocket. Harvey took up the matter with the Comptroller and the Treasurer, and it was decided that the incoming admin- istration should receive the problem as ea legacy of the present administration. FARMER'S WIFE ALMOST A WRECK WASHINGTON, April 7.—Included in the Democratic tariff. revision bill. in- troduced in Congress today is an income tax action which would require every resident of the United States who earns more than $4000 a year to pay a tax of ene per cent on his earnings in excess of the exemption. This would not require the man who earns only $4000 to pav a tax, but it would demand that the individual who earned $4100, for exampie, to pay into the Government treasury an annual tax of one per cent on $100, or $L The bill also would provide higher rates of taxation for persons with larger incomes, adding a surtax of one per cent additional on earnings in excess of §20,- 000; two per cent additional on earnings in excess of $50,000 and three per cent additional on earnings in excess of $100,000.

' In the House the day’s proceedings ' Were principally of organization. The 3 Te-election of Speaker Clark was the | dirst business after about 100 members ; d been sworn in.

Under the surtax “provisions the men who earns only $20,000 would pay.to the Government each year at the rate of 1 per cent on $16,000 ($4000 exempt), or $160. If he earns $30,000 he would pay 1 per cent on $16,000, still, and? per cen: on $10,000, thus making his Annual tax $3860. The person with a $50,000 in- come would pay 1 per cent on $16,000 and 2 per cent on $30,000—a total tax of $760. The man with an income* of $100,000 would be required to pay 1 per cent on $16,000, 2 per cent on $30,000 and 3 per cent on $50,000, which would be $1500, bringing his total income tax to $2260. The individual with a net income of a million would pay 4 per cen€ on $900,- 000, which would bring his total tax to $38, 260. The bill also would reenact the pres- ent corporation tax law imposing a l-per-cent tax on the earnings of corpor- ations, stock companies, insurance com- panies and the like, but it would exempt partnerships. Living Abroad No Exemption. The bill also includes under its pro- visions the property and earnings in this country of persons who live abroed. It is estimated by members of the Ways and Means Committee that ap- proxfmately $100,000,000 in revenue may be derived from this new tax, including the corporation tax, that amount mak- ing up for the deficit in revenues to be derived from imports by virtue of the greatly reduced tariff rates and _ the transfer to the free list of articles that are classed as necessaries of living.

Soon Cured, “Six years ago my skin became very red and for two months I suffered tor- tures from itching eczema, which at times became unbearable.

r i fi ie es “te ~AFALL IN RIVER WITHIN 24 HOURS Mayor Parsons Says Concern Has Changed From Ohio to the Mississippi. CONFIDENT OF _ SAFETY Expresses Regret He Couldn’t See Sunday Ball Game, Which Favorite Pitcher Won. By GEORGE PARSONS, Mayor of. Cairw, Til. _ Mn response to a request for an authoritative statement on conditons in Cairo.) CAIRO, Ill, April 7.—Our rivers are Wavering today, rises and falls of one- tenth of a foot being recorded on both the Ohio and Mississippi at points with- in 100 miles of Cairo. Our guage has stood at 54.7 now for virtually three days and within 24 hours we expect to see the beginning of the fall. We shall be relieved, but we be- lieve that if a rise should come, we could stand two feet more. We are in control, with a_ perfect organization, and are confident we will come through in good shape. Our con- cern has shifted from the Ohio to the Mississippi, which is showing a dis- position to make trouble. A baseball game yesterday between the team of Seventh Regiment of the Illinois State Guard and the Cairo team was the best attended entertainment since Cairo became an island. Cairo won by a score of 2 to 1. has a@ very good team. Cairo I was unable to attend, but I am informed that ‘“‘Bua’”’ Pinkley, the Cairo pitcher of whom we “ire very fond, caused every member of the opposition to strike out. The play- ing fleld was dry. WIND IS CAIRO’S CHIEF DANGER By Associateg Press. CAIRO, Ill., April 7.—There was vir- tually no change in the stage of the river today from that of last night, the gauge registering 54.7 feet. The greatest danger here now is from a possible slide in the levee, which might bé brought about by a high wind. The flood this year may change the channel of the Mississippi River. The flood waters now pour into Missouri at Tompson’s Bend, several miles above Cairo, run through the Drinkwater ter- ritory, pass east of Charleston, Mo., and strike the Mississippi again just above New Madrid, Mo. For years Government engineers have indicated the possibility of such a change in the channel. The levees at Mound City, Ill, are reported safe today. A big shipment of émpty sand sacks will arrive at Mounds today for Cairo and Mound City. Col. S. O. Tripp, Assistant Quarter- master-General, and Lieut. S. B. Ruck- ner, will send out several relief boats to bring in refugees who are reported in distress in the districts around Cairo. Expect 55 Feet of Water. The weather forecaster here predicts that the river will mark a little more than 55 feet before the crest is reached and that the Mississippi River will help ' to hold the river at Cairo above the \ dangerous stage of 54 feet for a week or more. No relaxation of the efforts towards protecting the Cairo levees has taken place, as those in charge of the work fully realize the dangerous situa- tion. The United States life-saving crew has arrived from Chicago. The men left the train at Mounds and came from that Siown to Cairo in their boats.

A GIRL WITH CARUSO VOICE WHO COMES FROM ABROAD \\} : KX) NYVY NO HELDER. NEW YORK, April 7. ISS RUBY HELDER, English Mi girl tenor, has arrived in New York, where she will sing at a musicale given by Mrs. August Belmont on April 8. After this one appearance she will return to England. It is asserted, probably with some exaggeration, that she wil] receive $10,000 for this single appear- ance. Miss Helder’s voice possesses extraordinary masculine tones and it is frequently compared to Caruso’s. Tooth Bend country, about 12 miles above Cairo. One detachment of the naval reserves and United States life-saving crew that was out on a relief tour fourd 25 per- sons and a large amount of livestock bunched together on a mound at Bird’s Mill, Mo., near here. The people were brought to this city. At East Cairo, Ky., 36 persons were found on the Illinois Central bridge ap- proach, where they had taken refuge from the rising waters. Other Levees Holding. The levees at Mound City are in good condition and the people there express the belief that they will be able to keep the water out of the town. The streets of Mounds are under from one to three feet of water. Wyckliffe, Ky., up on the bluffs a few miles below Cairo, is a haven for most of the refugees from this city. More than 2700 persons are camped at Wyck- liffe. Because of flood conditions, the April term of the Federal Court was adjourned today until June 9. The primary elec- tion, scheduled for tomorrow, was can- celed. —— Memphis Prepares for Crest of Fiood, Five Days Henee. MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 7.—With the Mississippi River swelling toward what will probably be the highest stage in its history, the only report from the levee workers that might be regarded ag unfavorable came from Biggs, Ark., south of this city, where a ‘‘boil’’ de- veloped. United States Engineer Hinton, direct- ing the fight along Reelfoot levee below Hickman, Ky., reported that the em- bankment was withstanding the strain well. Similar reports came from Car- ruthersville, Mo. The gauge at Memphis showed a stage of 4.3 feet, within one foot of the rec- ord stage of last year, when several levees gave way. The crest of the flood is not expected for at least five days. Railways’ Flood Loss in Ohio Is Put at $20,000,000. CLEVELAND, O., April 7.—On his ar- rival here after an inspection tour of the flood districts of Ohio, President Daniel Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad estimated the loss by flood té his road at approximately $3,000,000. The loss to all railroads in the State will reach $20,000,000, he said. Two Coal Mines in Illinois. ELDORADO, Ill., April 7.—The West- side Coal mine at Equality, eight miles south of here, was wrecked when high water got into the shaft and an ex- plosion of air and gas followed. The Eastside mine was flooded and it is considered doubtful if either mine ever is worked again. Floed Wrecks Recession of Fiood Waters Is Begun at Evansville, Ind. EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 7.—The Ohio river showed a fall of three-tenths of a foot below the crest of the flood and the weather bureau predicts that the fall will continue all of this week. The Government relief boat Kentucky arrived from Louisville, with provisions for sufferers below Evansville... The boat left for Uniontown, Ky., Shawne- town, Ill., Caseyville, Ky., and Golcon- da, Il. IMPORTED SPAGHETTI. Get the genuine Italian noodles at Dalpini’s, 517 Franklin avenue.

SMOKE SAVED ON LADDER BY FIREMAN Mother and Five Children Al- most Suffocated During Ab- sence of Father. Mrs. Julius Lorberbaum and her five children were saved from suffocation by smoke shortly before 1 a. m. Monday by Capt. Michael Doran of Fire Engine , Company 16, who carried them down a ‘ladder’ from the third floor of their home at 1942-44 South Broadway. A fire in Lorberbaum’s secondhand furniture store on the floor beneath had filled the upper rooms with smoke. Lorberbaum Was absent. : The engine house is located next door. Mrs. ‘Lorberbaum and the. children, Mary, 10 years old; Henry, 8; Hetty, 6; Jacob, 4, and Samuel, 2, were sleeping in three rooms on the third floor, at the rear of the building. Mrs. Lorbefbaum was awakened about 12:30 a. m. by the thick smoke in her room and the noise of crackling flames below. She was almost strangled by the smoke. Capt. Doran, when his men _ discov- ered that the interior of the store was ablaze, made his way up the two ‘flights of stairs. He took Mrs. Lorber- baum and the children to the front room. Firemen already had placed ladders reaching to a window. Mrs. Lorberbaum insisted that the children be taken @own first. Capt. Deran carried them down, taking two at a time on two trips. Then he wrapped Mrs. Lorberbaum in his rub- ber coat and carried her down the ladder. The family found shelter across the street in the home of Marcus Trei- man, 1410 South Broadway. The dense smoke, the firemen Say, was caused by the burning of mattresses and pil lows in the store. Lorberbaum returned to his home at 2 a. m. from a lodge meeting. SELLS STORE, QUITS HOME Police Are Asked to Find Man‘ Who Had 8500 in Pocket.

We inaugurated a buying plan and a selling plan similar to the system in effect in every other department in this store—that of buying in quantities for cash, and selling for the lowest possible price. The new policy included a price plainly marked, to be placed upon each piano, and this price to be the same to all. Further—no paying of unearned commissions, and a clear statement of facts in advertising, with no connection whatever with questionable schemes ~and sybterfuges such as many piano dealers utilize—these, too, are all part of the policy in force in this ‘‘new kind of Piano Store.’’ We could talk indefinitely about how different this piano store is, and about how greatly it has been appreciated, for it’s Success During the Past Year Has Been Marvelous!

The Sena- tor expects to reintroduce his bill ap- propriating $10,000 annually to each State and territory to be used through agri- fulture experiment stations in research and experiments in home economies, the results to be printed and distributed in each state and territory. ‘““Such legislation,” the Senator said, “would rob the American garbage can of millions of dollars annually by teach- ing girls-how to purchase, properly pre- pare and cook food and how to ufilize the food that is left over. If I had ‘a dozen daughters and was able to give each one of them a million dollars the day of her marriage, I would still want each one to know how to cook, make her own clothes and in fact be a superior housekeeper.”’ The Senator’s bill wagnot pressed at the last session, but many women’s or- ganizations have indorsed it. , Chauncey Heath Hit by Coupe. Chauncey Heath, 21 years old, crack swimmer of thé Missouri Athletic Club team, was knocked down and slightly injured Sunday night at King’s highway and Delmar boule- vard by an electric coupe driven by Mrs. Frances Newhard, 5140 Von Ver. sen avenue, wife of a director in the Ely & Walker Dry Goods Co.

Lazarus visited the outer suite of rooms in the Mayor's office in the morning, and was told by the secre- taries that Mayor Kreismann’s pri- vate office was open to him. “I don’t think I'll go in,” said the Acting Mayor. “I shall return to my office at the Acme Cement Plaster Co.

The Board of Election Commissioners announced Monday that the official plu- rality of Henry*W. Kiel for Mayor over Dr. John H. Simon was found to be 23 The vote was: Kiel, 57,119, and Simon, 54,819. The official result in the contest be- tween E. R. Kinsey and Ben C. Adkins for President of the Board of Public Im- provements was not announced. The Election Commissioners stated unoffi- clally that Kinsey was elected by a plu- rality of 92 votes. In the sixth precinct of the Twenty- third Ward the _— election commis- Sioners found the two candidates were credited with 11 more votes than had been cast. They balanced matters by taking five votes from Adkins and six from Kinsey. The same method was pursued in the third Precinct of the Twenty-fourth Ward, Where the two candidates were credited with an excess of 21 votes. The | Election Commissioners penalized Ad- kins 11 votes and Kinsey 10 in this precinct to make the vote tally with the returns. Kinsey lost 35 votes in the Sec- ond Ward, which had been credited to him by an error of the judges and clerks. Vote on Other Offices.

She then was escorted to the overflow meeting. where her address was repeated, ani she delivered a prayer. She arrived at the headquarters in the auto of her hostess, Miss Lucia Sloan of 88 Washington terrace.

DIES AS HE KNEELS IN PRAYER AT SIDE OF BED Henry D. Boullt, Former Rail- road Engineer, Had Quit Road at Wife’s Request. As he started to kneel at the side of his bed to say his evening prayers, Fri- day, Henry D. Poullt, 47 years old, of “744 Laclede avenue, fell to the floor dead. His wife, who was in the room, summoned a physician, who said that Foullt probably had died instantly. tleart disease is thought to have been the cause. Boullt was formerly an engineer on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, running be- tween St. Louis and Kansas City. At the urging of his wife, he had given up the railroad and lately had been em- ployed as a machinist in Granite City shops. Besides two children and the widow, there survive a brother, J. W. Boullt, and three sisters, Miss V. M. Boullt, Mrs. J. C. Fry and Mrs. Alice Hawley. The body was taken to Sedalia Sunday for burial. Boullt was a Mason and a member of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers. Boy Breaks Leg in Ball Game.

He was taken to the | city hospital. WOMAN RESISTS LAWYERS’ CHARGE AGAINST ESTAIt Claim of Leahy, Saunders and Barth for $6500 in Handling Cassidy Property. Probate Judge Holtcamp resumed Mon- day morning the hearing of the claims of the law firm of Leahy, Saunders «& Barth against the estate of Abner C. Cassidy, which was adjourned from March 21. The firm claims fees amount- ing to $6500 for services in settling up the estate of more than $200,000 for the widow, Mrs. Antoinette Cassidy, admin- istratrix. Mrs. Cassidy removed to New York after the death of her husband, Dec. 22, 1911. Cassidy, who lived at 4340 Maryland avenue, was a livestock dealer at the National Stockyards. Mrs. Cassidy was in court to contest these fees as excessive, with her pres- ent attorney, E. C. Crowley of New York, who cross-examined John 5S. Leahy, senior member of the law firm concerned. Court Reproves Lawyers. The case was considered of much inter- est to lawyers and litigants generully. as it has a bearing upon the problem of the charging of fees based upon the abil- ity of clients to pay for the service ren- dered. Crowley and Leahy had several sharp word tilts. At one time the Court re- Proved both for “making speeches,” Crowley took up the items in the law- yers’ bill one by cne and questioned Leahy about them. He found charges for many letters written by the lawvers to Mrs. Cassidy and others, in regard to the estate, charges for telephone calls and for ap- rearances in court. Letter Writing Fees. As to the fees for writing letters, Leahy explained that while it took but five or ten minutes to write some of them, they were interwoven with others. It was not the mere physical act of writing that was charged for, he said. Leahy said that Crowley, in his ques- tioning, was leaving out some of the items, The New York attorney re- plied that he was.taking them up as they appeared on the itemized bill. “I will show you the bill,” said Crow- ley. “Show it to the Court,” said Leahy. “Then you don’t want to be enlight- ened’,? asked the New Yorker. “Not by you,” retorted Louisan. Crowley mentioned a letter writ- ten to the Wells Fargo Express (Co. in connection with the estate. Leahy said he had a copy of the letter. Crowley asked him to produce it. “If you ask that as a privilege,” the St. } Said Leahy, “you can have the letter. but if you demand it as a right you can’t have it.” The witness said that the charge for this item would be deducted from the bill.

The production now seen in St. Louis is rather commonplace in quality. The piece enjoyed a long run in New York, where its titie role was played and sung by dainty Ina Claire and its lead ing masculine part by Clifton Crawford, these stars being supplanted in the present instance by NataHe Alt and Vic- tor Morley, the latter of whom alone is featured on the program. While both Mr. Morley and Miss Alt are fairly clever entertainers, they do rot quite succeed in giving their per- formance the unusual touch of dainti- ness.and demure fun which marked the work of Miss Claire and Mr. Crawford, and the inherent appeal of the play’s story and music is diminished in their case, precisely to this extent. Unfortu- nately, also, for St. Louis playgoers, the company in support is mediocre with but a few exceptions.

Miss Alt‘ is a pretty and graceful girl, especially clever as a dancer, and with a pure and sweet singing voice, As Prudence, “the Quaker girl,” she carries the main thread of the story throughout the evening, the plot's in- terest being centered upon her adven- tures when, fleeing from the monotony of Quaker existence in an English vil- lage, she makes her way to Paris and there brings to its happy ending her romance with Tony Chute, naval at- tache of the American Embassy, *the role of Victor Morley’s portrayal. The most sincerely humorous charac- terization of the entire performance is that of Andree Corday as Mme. Blum. a fashionable Parisian modiste, in whose establishment Prudence obtains employ- ment as a model. This is a truly clever bit of work, rich in Gallic fun and well sustained throughout. The Princess Mathilde, an exiled Bonapartist, of Elda Furry’s playing, is neatly presented. The two low-comedy roles of Phoebe, maid to the Princess, and Jeremiah, a Quaker on his mother’s side, but some- thing of a wild scamp on his father’s, are divertingly drawn by Amy Lesser and William Friend, largely in team work. Others prominent in the cast. are Murray Stephen as Captain Charteris, a king’s messenger, in love with the Princess Mathilde; Carol Parson as Diane,, @ Parisian actress; William Blaisdell as M. Larose, the Paris chief of police, and Phil J. Moore as Prince Carlo, affianced to Mathilde, but later in love with Prudence. Mr. Moore sang the biggest song-number of the score, “Come to the Ball,”” with admirable ef- fectiveness, but seemed curiously nerv- ous and apprehensive in playing his part. Among the more ambitious songs heard during the performance are “A Quaker girl,” by Prudence; “A Runaway Match,” by Mathilde, Phoebe, Charteris and Tony; “The Bad Boy and the Good | Girl,” by Prudence and Tony: “Jusf as.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 5.—The first draft of the Public Utilities Commission bill was received by Gov. Dunne today but, owing to the num- ber of office-seekers who called on him, he was unable to study = the measure and will spend a portion of temorrow making a careful analysis of it. It will be introduced in both the Senate and House next week. He said the bill was along the lines of his inaugural message and provides for a. well-equipped Public Utilities Commission which shall control the issue of securities and the character of service and rates to.be charged by utilities compantes. The bill recog - nizes the idea of “home rule,” and, while it provides for a state-wide commission, it contains a provisiun that Chicago may order its own. in- a Tthe f th 1 e report of the Legislative Pub- Hic Utilities Desnendanhem onan ill be fs ha next week.

Sheldon, author of “In His Steps, or What Would Jesus Do?" was ap- pointed on the Topeka Civil Service Examination Commission by the new city administration that took office to- day. The noted divine announced that he would accept the appointment be- cause of the opportunity it will offer for showing how police methods can be improved. Among the ideas he has embraced. and which he is expected to put into force in his new capacity, are higher moral standards for policemen and put- ting women on the police force. He hopes, he says, to make the work of the department include the preven- tion of crime even more than its de- tection and punishment. ; Twelve years ago the Rev.

Charles Webb, State’s Attorney of St. Clair County, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter today that he will close every sa- sloon in the disorderly district of East ‘St. Louis “The Valley.” This announcement followed a spec- cular raid, Sunday night, known as in which a saloon keeper resisting arrest was shot nd killed and a Deputy and a bystanda- ": Were wounded. This was one of sev- wal simultaneous raids, in which nearly OO arrests were made. The saloon keeper slain was George W. Rodgers. He fell dead behind the bar of is saloon at 301 St. Louis avenue, after t least two of four raiding Deputies eturned his fire. Edward Petri, a Peputy Sheriff, and Joseph Landy of W South Eleventh street, St. Louis, a stander, were wounded. Will Continue’ Raids, inode |EAST SIDE SALOON RAIDED, OWNER WHO WAS KILLED; SHERIFF, DEPUTY AND PROSECUTOR SHERIFF W.d. MULCONNERY. State’s Attorney Webb said: “I will bntinue these raids.

They are places where men ure killed indiscrim- mately and I will not allow them to con- nue to operate. “The sacrifice of human life yester- ay means a fight to a finish between W and order and the unlawful elements f East St: Louis.

Louis will be cleanea of its undesirable element and it will be kept clean so long as l am Mayor.”’ The raids in East St. Louis began about 11 p. m. Sunday. For the first time since he started his campaign to clean up East St. Louis, Webb had the full co-operation of Sheriff Mulconnery. “Hold Up Your Hands.” Deputy Sheriff Jacob Werner of Fast St. Louis described to a Post-Dispatch reporter the raid on Rogers’ saloon. “The raiding party consisted of Deputy Sheriff Petri, Deputy Sheriff James Cor- win, one of Webb’s” special deputies whose name I do not know, and myself,”’ said Werner. “When we Rogers’ saloon, Rogers was standing at the middle of the bar and behing A man after- wards identified as Landy was at the end of the bar farthest from the door. A woman was standing behind the bar, Landy. We all had our revolvers and as we entered we called: up your hands.

We all fired in return, and Rogers dropped be- hind the counter. Landy refused to hold up his hands. I think Webb’s spe- cial Deputy shot him.’’ From reoms above Rogers’ about 30 persons, some of them women, were taken into custody. Police Chief Ransom Payne of East St. Louis said that his department had not refused to cv-operate with State’s Attorney Webb in cleaning up East St. Louis. Payne said he was pleased with the general results of the raids, but jiis- pleased with the killing ef Rogers, who, he said, was peaceble and law-abiding and never permitted gambling in his saloon or kept open after midnight. “If the raiders had gone in and told Kkogers they were cfficers, I don’t think there would have been any shooting,” said Chief Payne. “I think Rogers niis- took them for robbers and opened fire in defense of his life and property.” Rogers’ three sons, Thomas, George and Robert, said that this place on the second floor had no connection with his father’s saloon and that he was in no way responsible for it. They also denied that he ever conducted a wineroom. Po- lice records show that he had never been arrested and his saloon had never before been raided.

While the pistol battle was being fought at Rogers’ ‘place the saloons of Nick Roselli, Bent Campbell and John Connors were being raided and police- men were making arrests in many of the Valley resorts. Nearly 400 prisoners were taken Belleville in street cars. Of these about «5 were women. All were placed in the Belleville jail.

Special Bag for Money Taken in nat Hearing of Cases, — Justice George Boyne moved his office from East St. Louis tothe State’s At- torney’s suite at Belleville at noon, Monday, and commenced hearing the cases of the 400 persons caught in the raids Sunday night. In the first hour Boyne disposed of 14 cases, among them those of Harry R. Frank and Harry J. Krauss, a vaude- ville team that had been appearing in a moving picture theater in East St Louis. They asked for an early trial, as they were booked to begin an engagement at ec Delmar boulevard moving picture show in St. Louis at 2:30 p. m. Monday. In all the early cases the persons heard pleaded guilty and each man was fined $3 and costs, a total of $11.%.

Aroused a sec- ond time, Kerens said that he had taken two of the pills. The hospital physic- ians said that two of the pills would not be an overdose, but that mixed with a considerable quantity of alcohol they would probably produce a long sleep.

William F. yer and a Democrat, was named for Mayor. The other officers who were chosen were—but first, let’s explain why Clayton wanted to be a city, anyway. Dindn’t Want to Be Swallowed. There was no big improvement project. There was no especial clamor for new jobs—the Republican politicians were mostly cared for, and the Democrats had mostly quit hoping for anything. There was no reason for giving up the peaceful village arrangement, except for one thing. E. G.. Lewis had been talking about extending the limits of University City to take in Clayton. A big bond issue, of which Clayton would have to stand its share, was believed to be his next plan. And that was enough for Clayton. Clayton did not wish to be annexed to University City or any other place. If it was to have a city government, it wanted one of its own. ‘And it did not care for any municipal financing by others than its own residents. So the petitions for incorporation, circulated by Attorney Julius R. Nolte, were signed by almost everyone approached in Clay- ton. Two hundred and sixty-four of .the signers were taxpa yers, Broadhead, a veteran law- |}: the paper showed. Other City Officers. The other officials named by the County Court for the new city were: Collector, Henry Stecker, a realty deal- er; Marshal, Harry Wengler, a Deputy Sheriff; Councilmen—First Ward, J.

Hollocher; Second, Lee Barton and David Schmidt; Third, Oliver Jacobsmeyer and Harry Organ; Fourth, Christ Ruehl and George Weid- hahn. ‘ Barton, who is editor of the Clayton Argus, is the only Democrat among the . new officials, except Mayor Broadhead.

Aceording to the annual report of the Board ot Education just issued, manual training in the grade schools is slowly being extended. There are now 12 of these schools listed as teaching manual training and domestic science, out.of a tctal of 96 grade schools, including colored. The enrollment and attendance at the classes for manual training and domestic science in these schools appears to be quite satisfactory, while, in the High Schools, pupils are said to be waiting for an opportunity to attend overcrowded classes. The report shows that $102.02 is paid annually for the year’s instruction of each pupil in the high schools, while only $31.10 is paid for a year’s instruction® for each pupil in the grade or elementary schools. In a recent Sunday’s Post- Dispatch, Mrs. Kate Richards O’Hara advocated manual training in all the schools, attributing much of the restlessness and inattention of pupils to the fact that there was too much brain work and not enough for the hands. Would it not be well to extend manual training more rapidly into ali the grade schools, where it would do the most gone, especially as it has been found that 90 Ser cent of the children who leave school with- out graduating are compelled to enter unskilled} employments for lack of any vocational training? i.

In attempting to slide to third base in the game at O’Fallon Park yesterday afternoon at about 24 minutes past 4 o'clock Roco Repetto, 12 years old, suffered the first accidext of the sea- son—and a sad one it was. Roco broke his leg. But we are reliably informed that he got to third. How heroism relieves tragedy! How tragedy makes heroes! Pshaw! The bore will knit but the memory of that gallant slide will endure, and Roco will be the subject of cheers ‘when he ap- pears on his crutch on the side lines. Later, when he shall have regained his speec, there will be huzzas when he steps up ito the plate—to pound out, we hope, another three-bagger. It is worth a leg to get io third, and it is the spirit that is willing to give a leg to get there which carries Big men through life and spells great careers. yy A > sr The new blue sky law will be of great benefit to the Coudreys and Gardners of the future.

New York asks that a “minimum standard of accu- racy in statement” shall be fixed by law. It is desired especially to protect newly-arrived im- migrants, unused to the ways of the country, from swindles. But how is a law to be framed for the benefit of domiciled qliens that will not Impose irksome restrictions on the rest of the population? A minimum standard of accuracy in statement would be an indefénsible invasion of the right of native as well as.adopted citizen- ship to buy Brooklyn bridges in Greater New York, Masonic Temples in Chicago, railroad ter- minals and stations in St. Louis from aggressive street salesmen at ridiculously cheap prices. It would seriously affect a popular American rec- ewation, oné which the cynical Postoffice Depart- ment experts on get-rich-practices estimate cost - those who indulged im it $52,000,000 last year. A minimum standard of accuracy would be a dangerous thing for this country. Even a mini- mum placed exceedingly low would paralyze stock exchanges, hamper real estate transfers, handicap running for office, platform writing, spellbinding and other necessary activities of pol- itics, oppress theatrical advance agents, reveal r there is a Money Trust, and disrupt the santer relations of the social order. Mr. Wil- | ‘that the sugar industry would be ruined if sugar AN ANTI-MONOPOLY TARIFF. The work of tariff reduction to which the Democratic party is pledged has been cut out for the Congress which. meets in extra session today. The cutting has been well done. The bill which will be presented by the House Ways and Means Committee embodies a thorough tariff revision in the interest of the people, not of the tax bene- ficiaries. It lifts the burden of taxation from the necessaries of life—the articles that the people must buy—and puts them on luxuries—the arti- cles that the people do not have to buy. The free list embraces substantially all the products that enter into the ~ost of liying of the great mass of consumers. The trust-creating taxes are struck out of the schedules. The object of the bill is not ‘to injure indus- try, but to destroy monopoly. Concern for legiti- mate business is shown in the final decision of the President and his party leaders with regard to the sugar tariff. In -esponse to the protests were immediately placed: upon the free list, a clid- ing scale of taxation was agreed upon. The tax is reduced 25 per cent at once and a 25-per-cent reduction each year until the tax vanishes is provided in the bill. In 1916 sugar will be free. There is plenty of protection in the measure for every industry that needs protection. The aim in tariff taxation is shifted from protection to reve- nue, but in devising revenue schedules shelters for American industry are retained. The punch in the bill is directed at privilege and extortion. The purpose embodied in this measure which the President and Congress are expected to achieve, is the overthrow of the monstrous sys- tem by which privileges have been granted, ex- tortion has been permitted and monopoly has been fostered in exchange for political support and huge slush funds with which to buy elec- tions. For the first time in this generation leaders of the party in power have earnestly and sincerely set to work to demolish the bulwarks of political corruption and tax oppression raised by privilege legislation. The new Wilson bill—the President assumes responsibility for it—is a good beginning of the anti-monopoly-making war. Having tried with little results to destroy laW-made trusts by legal prosecution, President Wilson and his associates are trying the more effective method of destroy- ing the taxes that fostered and sheltered the trusts. They are trying to blow up the legal for- tifications of; monopoly. In President Wilson’s work the people have a rare demonstration of the will to keep pledges. He went to his task as soon as his commission was given him at the polls. Not only did he call an extra session to fulfill the tariff pledge of the party, but he rallied the leaders to action. He had a clear idea of what he wanted tc do. He has been courteous, but firm. He has united fidel- ity to promises. The cofdial co-operation of party leaders in Congress with the President gives ground for hope that the bill will be passed substantially as it is submitted. The report that a majority of the Democrats in the Senate and House will support the bill strengthens the hope. But there will be bitter opposition. Privilege dies hard. Treason on the part of some Democrats is to be expected. The sappers and miners of monopoly will be busy. Every weak point in the line of battle will be assailed. The people can do much to aid the. Administra- tion. They can hold up the hands of the Presi- dent. They can bring to bear upon Congress the great power of public opinion. In this crisis of the campaign against the system of privilege, union and concentration on the part of all the forces of reform are invaluable—they mean victory. a + +4 es The “Pikers’”’ are celebrating Mr. Kiel’s elec- tion as Mayor. What, does Pike County claim Mr. Kiel, too? COMMISSION PLAN FOR STATES. The progress of a decade in the general atti- tude toward public questions is indicated in the reception given to the plan of Gov. Hodges of Kansas to adapt to the purposes of State Govern- ment the essential features of the commission scheme of municipal government. He would have legislative duties discharged by a single body made up of one, or at the most, two persons from each congressional district, of which the Governor would be an ex-officio member. They would be elected for four or six years, would receive handsome salaries and would distribute among themselves the duties of the present State administrative offices. The governing of a state would thus be en- trusted to a small number of men who would specialize in the work, and make it their exclu- sive business. Legislation would not be a hasty, often frantic function confined to a few weeks every two years, and discharged largely by per- sens without experience. To promote the great- est good for the greatest number would partake less of a process of shifting responsibility by one group of officials onto another, or by one legisla- tive house onto the other, or by both Houses onto the Governor and the courts. The Legislature would practically be in continuous session to make changes in laws as needed. Cost of state government could be largely reduced, and when things went wrong the people would have no dif- ficulty in determining who was responsible for it. Thoughtful study is being devoted to this “Kansas plan” in all parts of the country. By many it is highly commended. Ten years ago it would have been looked on as a curious example of the impractical, and even fantastic extremes x See Se ee * oe eee as is SR hs a ae See Re Ree Pek cy ‘ “ ie fo : Pees ‘Seite sag ae is ap Corea te ee ST.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The letter in this evening’s Post-Dispatch signed “Observer,” must have been written by @ stranger to our past elections when respectable people refused to vote, knowing they would be insulted, slugged or arrested. I have resided here for’ 40 years and must say it was the cleanest election I ever knew. TI am not a politician nor layman and think religion should be out of polt- tics, but who started this? ANOTHER OBSERVER. Insurance Companies in Politics. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I wish to commend the Post-Dispatch upon your recent editorial regarding the fire insurance situation in Missouri. It is amusing to hear of ‘these foreign in- surance companies threatening to withdraw from the State if “Missouri Legislators and executive officials do not stop meddling with fire !msur- ance.” Who started the agitation, and who are the real “meddlers?”’ If the compantes and their agents with their offensive lobby had not started the trouble by meddling with legislation at Jef- ferson City, they would have no reason for com- Plaint. Not being satisffed with letting well enough alone, they had to go to Jefferson City-two years ago and lobby through the Legislature the per- nicious Oliver rating law, which, had they been allowed to inforce it, would have enabled them to gouge the merchants and manufacturers of Missouri out of a million dollars. As soon as the business interest of the State discovered the real meaning of the law, they raised a howl that forced its repeal, and just for good measure the Legislature went a little further and tacked on a rather stringent anti-trust law, concern- ing which thé agents and insurance companies are making loud complaints. They pretend to be mightily peeved, and are doing the baby act by threatening to “take thetr dolls and go home.” Well, let them go. They will come back again. Missouri has been too good a thing for them to stay away. This should be a lesson to them and teach them that when they begin meddling in pelitics, they are playing with a buzz saw. J. D.

Mr. Kiel was elected mayor of St. Louis on his platform in which he advocates the building of a subway that is to be municipally owned and operated. By adopting this plank in his platform he has proven that we are to deal with a pro- gressive and ‘not with a stand-patter. The present street railway situation tn St. Louis has taught us a good lesson that will make us avoid the mistake of private ownership and oper- ation of the subway.

In answer to the person who wrote in last evening’s paper, “Keep Religion Out jof Politics,” I beg to say that any good Catholi¢ with good sense will follow that rule. Furthermore, I am sure that it was not a Catholic that infected religion into politics in this campaign. It was done for revenge and nothing more. A READER OF THE POST-DISPATCH. Dangerous Hatpins. fo the Editor of the Post-Diépatch. I noticed this clipping from a New Orleans pa- per: “New Orleans women have another week to provide protection for the ends of their hatpins. The penalty for the offense is a fine from $1 to $10 or confinement in jail from six to ten hours.” It certainly would be a good thing if St. Louis had such a law for it is dangerous to ride in an elevator or street car, as some women have the points of their hatpins sticking out two or three inches.

From the Chicago Tribune. Two men saw the battle of Lule Bur- gas from a height of 7000 feet, flying over a part of the field as the Bulgari- ans rushed the Turks back across the lower slopes of the hillside. One was the English aviator, Snowdon Hedley, attached to the Bulgarian Air Corps, his companion being a Bulgarian. “ “What I saw was this,’’ Hedley writes in description. ‘“‘Through rifts and light- nings in that silvery haze were certain dark masses made up of infinitesimal ispecks. Certain specks from one mass would disentangle themselves and rush forward toward another mass. Mor? and more they came. Nothing but their disposition could tell me which was which. It was HMke looking through a microscope at the movements of life invisible to the naked eye,”’ , At 7000 feet the heroism and horrors, suffering, tortures, sublimity, despera- tion and fortitude, on earth almost su- perhuman, became less than insectivor- ous.

Then she pulled his-nightrobe over the flabby body. He lunged into bed and smiled at her from the whiteness of the pillow. Dina picked up his coat and fitted it to a hanger; then she folded the trousers and laid them over the arm of a chair. The rest she hung on hooks in a closet. “Good ole girl,” he whispered, clasping the hand that pulled the covers about his chin. “Besh ole wife ever saw.

Dina walked to the dresser, leaned on it with her hands and put her face close to the glass. Torture was there —in her eyes. She could see her nostrils dilate as she breathed quickly. She drew back, felt her cheeks with her Palins and uttered a low, shivering moan. “Pity?” she asked herseif, And FE, stood before her, straight and strong and clean, with his hands clasped behind his back. “TIT love you, he said again, Simply.

And he smiled back. “It’s almost time for Dan,” she said as she sat alone before the open fire. “The last time for Dan’’—— and her voice trailed off into the silence of the house. Her bag was packed; her hat on. It would be an hour before the cab would call and she would go out from her fulfilled duty. Just why she was so fully prepared with so much time before her caused her wonderment. She blamed it to an unconscious nerv- ousness and dismissed the query. The half-dozen years of her married life paraded before ter as she gazed through the walls into untold distances. The happy blush of new estate that had faded like a desert sunset; the weirdness of the awakening to the twi- light of her happiness; the blackness of the mantle that settled upon her as dream after dream tumbled and crum- bled to nothingness. The shock that came with the realiza- tion of her husband’s weakness had stunned her at first, and her feminine self had been horrified. Then, as time went on, her bold cyn- foism had taken a grip on the situa- tion and she had put herself to what she called a wife’s duty. Then she wondered if she had ever loved Dan Mallory! She stirred at the thought, sighed and gave herself up to the great peace, the sense of perfect stability that has swept over her at Templin’s declaration. Came a fumbling at the door; came the unsteady scratching of a latchkey as it sought the hole. Dina smiled pityingly. “Dan—the last time!’’ she said to her- self. Then a thud, as something settlea t. the porch outside. The woman arose alert, habitually in- tent, and turned on a light. Shen went to the door, opened it and bent over the figure that struggled on the threshold. “Fell down, m’ dear,” he said, “tea down, Can’ seem stan’s evenin’.”’ “All right, Dan,’’ she said, hielo: “It's all right.

And good sense, as well as good taste, is behind this stipulation. There is a certain type of modest young man who believes that the easiest way to make a hit with a girl is to regale her with unkind gossip about other young women who are known to both. Per- haps his vis-a-vis may laugh at the time and appear to be well entertained. But she is likely to do some thinking afterward, and the burden of her thought runs like this: “If he says such things about other girls to me, what will he say about me to the next girl he meets?’ The next time the young man be- stows his company upon the girl he is likely to find that the thermometer has dropped.

Sleeves are long and sleeves are short—they are a law unto themselves and unto the arm that is to be covered or left uncovered, as its owner's dis- cernment knows best. However, the chic long sleeve of the spring and early summer can easily be slashed to a three-quarter length when the days wax warm, and therefore were it well to have a supply of gloves that are long, for the street. In fact, the gloves that are long will be in demand anyway for these little short jackets, for with the shortness of the body comes the short- ness of the sleeves and we find-them nearly all three-quarter length. The lingerie dress of the season is a dress of embroidered material and this range through a multiplicity of varieties, no two at all resembling each other, eyeletted and solid patterns; designs that have been inspired by the present craze for the Oriental and look like Japanese letter- ings; dainty flowers wrought on filmy batiste with all the effect of costly hand work, but what a difference on the price!

Failure of Ed Koney and Steve Evans, those husky individuals who occupy the envied position of clean-up hitters on _ the Cardinal club, to clear their bat- ting eyes, is one big reason why the Cardinals have looked none too well in the -series with the Browns.

O’Leary a Surprise. The-work of Charley O'Leary, the ex- Detroiter, also has proved a pleasant surprise. O’Leary has played a more consistently good game than any of the Cardinal regulars save Oakes and Huggins. And as the time draws near for the opening of the League champion- ship race, there seems no great reason to regret the loss of Arnold Hauser. _._Of course, though, Hauser is a young- ster and his presence will be needed later on. but for the present it would be hard to improve on the former field leader of the Tigers. The Cardinal pitchers, though, have shown the lack of spring work in their exhibitions to date against the Browns. Ballee and Griner are in pretty fair shape, but Harmon and Burk lack con- trol and effectiveness. Harmon had nothing but nerve Sunday. He was touched for twelve safe knocks and mixed in six bases on balls. That's bad enough to lose two games, but for- tunately, Bob’s playmates piled up a mountain of runs behind him.

ARRY McLEAN at last has arrived, ready to begin training with the Cardinals. A bit of bad luck in suffer- ing a broken arm put Larry off on the wrong foot this season. But if he gets in good shape by the first of June —and remains at this hitherto unattain- able Utopia—he’ll be of great value to Huggins. Larry is a good, a near-great catcher, and a reliable hitter. If they’d quit making IT, Larry might even gain a niche in baseball fame.

These three teams are again to be the important factors in the National League race. That one of the three will win flag is all but certain. In fact, they are wagering even money against the field on Chicago, with Pittsburg and the Giants out of the calculation. As Chi- cago is supposed to be the weak sister of the three, this is assurance that the men who make a living by speculation on baseball figure the Cubs to be in the money. she * * * His Nerves Jangle Readily. T’S no novelty. The three clubs men- mentioned have had the National League~race to themselves so long that it’s monotonous. There is this chance of a collapse, however: Evers is too tem- peramental for the manager’s position, if preliminary reports are to be believed. As to this, it is generally better to take a chance on the temperament than on a training camp baseball report. Owner Murphy Should Worry. UT, besides, there’s ing beneath the tree for the plum to drop. This fact alone is enough to give a man a temperament, Roger wait- if he never had it before hand. good baseball were committed Sun- day at Robison Field, where the Cards conquered the Browns, 13—6, but it is a question whether the 19,000 fans were displeased with the exhibition. There were infinitely more opportuni- ties for the partisan’ rooters t@ cheer in Sunday’s game than there would f LL crimes against the ethics of sulted £—1. And the fans enjoyed the farce so hugely that it’s a question whether good or bad™baseball is better appreciated. , A high wind made pitching a preca- rious proposition, but the Browns were started on the road to ruin in the first round, when, after Hug walked and Ma- gee singled, Hamilton and Agnew col- lided going after Mowrey’s bunt. Ham pounced on the ball first, but when he raised his arm to throw, he bumped Agnew's shoulter and the bases were filled. That bad treak started Hum on the wrong read and he retired after Oakes rer.ped out a triple with the tases filled. : Geven runs in the first frame took the starch out of the Browns. However, Sto- vall’s men hit Harmon so hard that the fans held out hopes of ultimate victory. They were destined to disappointment. The count in games now !s 8—2, for the Browns. The sixth soiree will be set to music at .Robison Field Monday afternoon, weath- er permitting.

On that occasion Ford ran a close sec- ond to Rowan ard the fans who have seen Ferns in action believe he should trounce the Philadelphian. Four bouts are on the program. Prior to the main event these contests will be staged: John Kern vs. Billy Lutz, Tommy Belrose vs. ‘Buck’ Weaver, James Tillman vs. Jack Whitman. * - > Trendall Ready for Shelton. Harry Trendall :s working like a bea- ver for his scheduled eight-round bout with Jack Shelton before members of the St. Louis A. C. at the Coliseum Wednesday evening. Inasmuch as both contestants are local boys and because there is intense rivalry between the men, the bout has attracted more attention than others. Those who have watched Trendall in recent workouts claim that the “Pride of the Patch” !s as good as ever. Fol- lowing his three-months’ vacation, Tren- dall realized that he would require lots of training to put him on edge and he worked faithfully as a result. P Shelton’s friends say Trendall will have to be at his best and better to trim his young rival. In his Southern and Eastern campaign, Shelton won the 11 bouts in which he started, indicating that he is a greatly improved performer over what he showed in St. Louis before going away. Stewart to Get Chance. Secretary Walter Lavine of the Coliseum club has made a change in the program because of the illness of Charley Dalwitz. which will prevent him from going on with Willie Krug in the original schedulcd semi- windup. Instead Lavine will introduce Art Stewart of Hammond, Ind., a lightweight. who jumped into fame by holding Bat Nel- son to a draw recently. He draws Johnny King as an opponent. The curtain will be raised by Otto Nelson and George Bender, ambitious lightweights. A boxing fan contends that a Jinx is fol- lowing the roped arena of Frank X. Moore’s club about town.

St. Louis Must Win Every Game to Bag Cue Flag Unless Pedro Maupome and E. V.

By winning three straight, the local representatives can tie Chicago for first place. Pittsburg, by winning two from St. Louis, also can tie Chicago while the Pirates can cop the championship by taking three straight. Several other games remain to be played between Eastern members of the league, but the outcome will have no bearing on the pennant hunt. Standing of the Teams. TEAMS. Won, Pittsburg Lost. 15 16 16 17 Kansas Philadelphia Boston Douglas, Mount Olive and Peters Teams Win Trolley League Openers The Trolley League season opened Sunday with the Peters, Mount Olives and New Douglas teams registering vic- tories. The best-played game was in Belleville; where the Peters nine trimmed the Harrisons, 5—3. Only four hits were made off Sopp, of the losers, although ragged fielding spoiled Buett- ner’s game. The Mount Olive team had a walkover in its game with the 999s. Nourper ond Weilman were hit hard, although seven errors behind them prevented any chance of the game being close. Ben- nett and Ramsey succeeded in passing out a long string of blanks to the losers. The New Douglas team slipped a 10—3 trouncing to the East St. Louls Blues. Dunlin’s hitting aided the winners most. He connected four out of five times up, a single, double, triple and home run be- ing in his collection. Prank held the ‘costly to the Browns. Huggins Missed a to Save Saturday’s Game Pratt Cut Second Cushion Umpire Owens Saw It and Says He Would Have Recog- nized a Claim—An Out Would Have Meant No Runs and a Tied Game. mistakes, had Manager open. ‘Had they noted Derrill Pratt, who had been purposely passed, to fill the tases, they would have seen that the flying Brownie did not touch second base as he chased around the tow paths after Stovall's soak. Stovall, other Brownies and Umpire “Brick” Owens, who worked on the bases, saw Pratt’s failure to touch second. However, as none of the Cardi- nals called for the ball, Pratt’s blunder was permitted to go by. After the game Umpire Owens ad- mitted that Pratt had not touched sec- ond base and that he saw him cut tne bag. He also said that he would have called out the second sacker; had the Cardinals made the claim. In a case like this it is not the umpire’s duty to tell the opposing side of any error made by the team on the attack. Score Would Have Been Tie. As two were out when Stovall made his hit, clearing the sacks, in the mem- orable eighth, alertness on the part of the Cardinals would have proven Pratt wou'd heve made the third out and even though two runs had gone over be- fore he reached the plate, they would not have counted and the score would have remained 2—2, starting the ninth session. : Although the Browns won the game, Stovall didn’t fall to tell Pratt of his blunder after the athletes had reached the clubhouse. The manager did not confine his remarks regarding ‘‘cut- ting” bases to the Alabaman alone, either. In fact, he issued an order that here- after any athlete committing a similar offense will be fired $25. “I'll be having a big housecleaning before many more days have passed,” said Manager Stovall to the Post-Dis- patch. By that he evidently means that he has made up his mind about the dis- missal of more members of his team. Only four of the presént squad have re- ceived their notice of release, but waiv- ers have been requested on others. The stopping ‘off places of Emery Ol- son, Yale Sloan, John Roche and Her- old Schwenk haven't been determined. It is very likely that a couple will land in Montgomer?. Stovall Likes Walker’s Work. Stovall has decitied to take a longer look at Ernie Walker, the young fly chaser from Montgomery. His actions since the team has returned from Texas have been very pleasing, and he stands a good chance of remaining here. For awhile it was feared that an injury to his hand would keep Walker out of the game. But this ailment has mended, and his movements at the bat, coupled with his fleetnegs, give him a good chance of holding on. While the Cardinal fans contend that the failure of Koney and Evans to hit is en- abling the Browns to have easy sailing, they evidently fail to see Gua Williams’ stick- ing performances. Gus is one of Stovall's best hit-makers. but, like Koney, he is off to a bad start. In fact, he has made only four hits in the five games played and is trailing the list of regular Brownies in the patting order. Even better things may be expected of the Browns when the Big Ne- braskan begins to get his eye on the bulb. Walter Leverens’s first oft against the Cardinals was a good one. The leading southpaw of the coast last season shouldn't have been scored on in the four rounds be hurled.

While the “barry” of Lee Magee in playing in too close and then badly misjudging George Stovall's drive which scored three runs and gave the Browns Saturday's contest, is blamed for the deefat of the Cardinals, American leaguers wouldn’t have registered the triumph, even after Magee’s Huggins and Charley O'Leary had their eyes the Browns-Cards Game Off Last Contest Tuesday AIN Monday morning caused the postponement of the sixth game of the spring series between the Browns and the Cardinals.

Boy, last season, was verified by the an- nouncement from Manager Hughey Jen- nings that he will also turn foose from the youngster, Shanley came to the Browns last season from the Burlington (Central As- sociation) team. In that league he hit more than .360, besides playing a sensa- tional game at short and burning up the towpaths. He registered a failure here, but when waivers were asked on him, Jennings refused to pass him up. Shanley joined the Tigers starting the sea- son and, judging from the reports of his work in Gulfport during the first few weeks of the training trip, it seemed that Stovall had made a great error in releasing the youngster. But he’s to be passed up by the freckled one, SO Shaniey’s stay with the Browns was a profitable one financially to President Hedges. It's probably the enly time that money was realized on the sale of a pur- chased player. Shanley cost the Browns something like $1500. After he came to rhe St. Louls club the waiver price was boosted from $1500 to $2500 and when he shifted to Detroit Hedges collected $2500. a profit of $1000.

OETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S WALL STREET TRANSACTIONS NEW YORK, April 7.—Political conditions at home and abroad w ere influential in shap- ing the course of the stock market today. hie latest complications growing out of the Baikan war depressed European markets. Renewed talk of the outlook for tariff legislation caused some apprentenen here and led to a resumption of liquidation and short selling. The technical position of the market, moreover, was found to have been weakened by retirement of the recent rise of a considerable proportion of the unwieldy short interest. Special! factors contributed to the mar- ket's depression. Beet sugar broke on mis- givings as to the effect of changes in the duty on sugar. Rumely made one more low record on continuance of recent liquida- tion. A sharp fall in Baltimore & Ohio con- vertible bonds was attributed to selling by members of the underwriting syndicate which dissolved today. Declines from 1 to 3 points were large- ly recovered by midday. Bonds were heavy. Shori covering. which was induced by the large initial declines, imparted temporary steadiness.

Chicago + ™@35 St. Louls eeeeeeeeaeern eee Ts Chicago Wheat futures were held steady Mon- day in the face of world’s shipments for last week of 15.488000 bn. against 13,520,000 bu the preceding week and 13,888,000 bu last year. Most of the pay ing was influenced by the strength in the May Bae in Chicago, in which there is k of manipulation against the Sheree Crop reperts all were good, and miuch favorable comment was heard on the Missouri crop forecast placing the A 1 condition at 96.6,.ugainst 91 last cember; 78 last April and 76 last July. Also the oats acreage at 98 per. cent of last year. Twenty-three per cent of the present crop is sown. The Liverpool wheat market opened steady, %d to 4d higher, on firmness in Buenos Ayres, strength in America and Canada on Saturday and firmer Plate offers. World's shipments were heavy, with a large amount to the United Kingdom, but these merely served to check the advance, and the approach of the American Governmeht report, which it is thought will be bearish, was offset by the strong open- ing in Paris and unfavorable weather in Russia and France. Liverpool corn cpened steady. but dull, and later the American grade advanced %d in sym- pathy with wheat and firm American offers. Liverpool wheat futures closed 4d up to %d lower: corn %d up. Paris wheat Kec up to %e lower; flour, unchanged to %c up. Berlin wheat 1%c up; Paria \c up to %c lower; flour, \c up. Antwerp — unchanged, and Budapest ic ower. Corn futures were strong and higher on buying against the shorts in the May option. Prices touched a new high record on the present movement. Oats were steady to higher in sympathy. Minneapolis wheat cars were 5l, agaist 542 iast week and 238 last year. Duluth 30, against 23 and 28. Winnipeg, #1 against 602 and Minneapolis wheat stocks increase 30,000 bu for 2 days. The Missouri report said: Wheat— Many correspondents report the pros- ect for wheat the best they have ever nown. There was practically no winter killing and but little damage from the Hessian fly, such as there was, being confined to a few coun- ties in the eastern half of the State. lant has made a vigorous growth n many fields will now “hide a rabbit." The condition for the State is 96.6, this being higher than indicated by any other records now on file in this office. By sections, condition shows: Northeast, %4; Northwest, 99; Central, 96; Southwest, 96; Southeast, 98. All this is in happy contrast with one year ago, when the condition of wheat for the State was 78, while in addition, practically one-fourth of the acreage had been winter kill Oats—Early estimates are to the ef- fect that the oat crop, the seeding of which has been somewhat delayed by unfavorable weather during the last two weeks, will be about 98 per cent in acreage as compared with the 1912 crop grown on 940,314 acres. Only the South- west section reports a probability of a larger acreage than that of last year. It is estimated that, taking the State as a whole. but 23 per cent of the crop has been sown. By sections the seeding shows: Northeast, 5 per cent; North- west, 5: Central, 18; Southwest, 43; Southeast, 45. On April 1, of last year, practically no oats had been sown, cor- respondents estimated that less than 1 per cent of the crop was in at that time. Corn—It is estimated that of the 1912 crop of corn, amounting to 243,000,000 bushels, 32 per cent is still on the farms. An open fall and winter favored fall plowing for corn, so that 2 per cent of the ground for the new crop is plowed, — compared with 10 per cent one year a Local BB réceipts. were 91,200 bu, or 47 cars local, 29 through; last year, or 16 cars local.

AM LAZARUS, the new President of the City Council, owns a ranch in Texas where he breeds thoroughbred race horses. During the World's Fair in St. Louis he met Lady Mackenzie, a Scotch woman who is a famous hunter, and invited her to visit his Texas ranch. ~ She accepted and Mr. Lazarus wired his foreman: “Meet Lady Mackenzie. Will arrive Tuesday afternoon from St. Louis. Take good care of het.” »- The foreman, says Mr. Lazarus, met Lady Mackenzie with a leading bridle, a light blanket, the weather having turned cool, and a boy to escort her to the ranch where a _ box stall had been bedded down deep with straw for the ar- thoroughbred. the Crime.
