Fourteen members of the jury signed the verdict, six refusing. The Judge approved the verdict. The case brought out a sad family ro- gnance, which Minister Marburg and his brother, William A. Marburg, members «of a proud Maryland family, allowed to “‘become public, It was also an unusual matrimonial alliance that was developed, the chief beneficiary and hero being Frederick Fischer, an English tourist guide, who, Miss Marburg testified, twas to have received $200,000 from her when they were married. He subsequently transferred his affections in considera- tion of a sum of $50,000 paid to him by the _ brothers of Miss Marburg, and married Miss Lucy Munder, niece of Miss Mar- burg, who had been the companion of Miss Marburg on her travels in Europe. First Hears of It in Court. It then transpired that Miss Marburg previously had paid $25,000 to Miss Mun- der to relinquish her claim upon the courier whose first love was the younger ‘woman. Miss Marburg’s first knowledge vcf the marriage of her niece and Fischer came when she was shown a newspaper an- fiouncement to that effect in the presence of the jury. She had been in a private hospital since last September, shortly after a hotel incident in New York. The Marburgs, having upset their sis- fer’s matrimonial plans, replaced-in her eBtate the $25,000 she hed paid to Miss Munder. Fischer, by the way, had a wife, and a divorce had to be arranged that he might marry the wealthy Amer- gcan. Full détails were given of Miss Mar- ture’s life in the last ten years and par- ticularly of the happenings of the last year, since Miss Marburg announced she would marry Fischer. It was brought out in the testimony that last August ‘Theodore Marburg, on receipt of the news of his sister’s intention, hurried from England to New York. He met other members of the family and physi- cians at the Waldorf-Astorfa, where his pister was staying. Several physicians, including Dr. Car- fos a. McDonald of New York, and Mar- burg decided to go to Miss Marbureg’s room on the ninth floor of the hotel without first announcing themselves. It was testified that Dr. McDonald en- tered the room alone while Theodore Marburg, now United States minister to Belgium, climbed into the room through a window to prevent his sister from jumping to the street. The minister's entrance was not accomplished without great hazard. The scene in the room of the sister was one of considerable excitement, it was said, but all the physicians who ex- amined her came to the same conclu- sion—that she was of unsound mind. The testimony showed that when Miss Marburg, Miss Munder and_ several friends were touring Europe about five years ago with Fischer as director of ‘ROMANCE BLASTED :(Comanttes Named to Manage 18.—Miss mma Marburg, sister of Theodore Mar- burg, Minister to Belgium, and. herself Two Men Turn Their Prisoner Over to Confederate Who Poses as a Detective.

Barnum Bell is star roomer at. the rooming house of John Dardis, 1002a Chestnut street. He was awakened at 4 a.m. by a noise in his room. The noise Was made by a well- dressed young burglar, who stood near the door ex- amining Bell’s trousers. Bell yelled. His yell alarmed a sec- ond burglar who was in the hallway. This man ran out and escaped, but Dardis went to his lodger’s assistance and the first burglar was captured. Bell and Dardis took their prisoner out to the sidewalk, where a man stepped up and asked, ‘“‘What’s the mat- ter?’’ Dardis replied that they had just captured a burglar. The man on the sidewalk held a rolled newspaper in his hand. He stepped up and slapped the prisoner sharply with it, remarking: “I’m Detective Brennan of the Chief's office, and I’ve got you at last.””’ Then he hit the prisoner again with the newspaper. “I'll take this fellow right to head- quarters and lock him up,” he said to Bell and Dardis. Gripping the burg- wanted. their they changed Then oner south on Eleventh street. Bell and Dardis, feeling heroic, walked to Eleventh and Pine streets, where they found a police sergeant and told to Detective Brennan. “Brennan? Brennan?

A negro who says he is Harry Wal- ker, 19 years old, of 3200 Lawton boule- vard—his own title for the avenue that used to be street — was trapped early Friday morning by a door at 3857 Westminster place, which nearly choked his life out. The house, at the northeast corner of is Chestnut the Vandeventer avenue intersection, eceupied by George L. Burrell. Former- ly it was the home of Dr. William Mc- Candless, who used a door on the Wan- deventer avenue side as entrance to his office suite, consisting of two rooms and a hallway on the first floor. Burrell and his wife use these rooms as their sleeping chambers. They have piled trunks against the side door, which ther do not use. Shortly after midnight Burrell was awakened by. hearing groans. He switched on a light and was amazed to discover the head of a negro wriggling just inside the side door. The negro’s eyes, he said, seemed almost popping out. They were wild with fear and the face was distorted with pain. Burrell demanded of the negro’s head what it was doing inside his house, but there was no word of reply— only groans. Burrell telephoned for the police. At the same time somebody who had discovered the rest of the negro on the outside of the door telephoned a police call. A wagon loadj of policemen appear- ed from one direction and a foot detail of two patrolmen from an- other. The policemen pried the door open far enough to release the negro’s head. He had pushed the door open far enough to insert his head, but | the trunks piled against it forced it back, ICH LAD'S FIRS CAR RIDE. ALONE STIRS TWO TOWNS Garth Parr, 14 years old, of Collins- ville, Ill., took his first street car ride alone Thursday night. And here’s what happened: Long-distance telephone messages to Edwardsville and Mitchell. Telegrams to Alton. Hurry calls for deputy sheriffs. Notice to all the police of Collinsville and Edwardsville. Assignment of special plain clothes. Assignment of plain policemen in spe- cial clothes. Volunteer search by citizens’ posses in Collinsville and Edwardsville. In spite of all this, the boy was found. Garth Parr is the son of Mrs. Laura Parr, reputed to be the richest widow in Collinsville. Her husband, W. B. Parr, who died last July, was rated by the townspeople as a millionaire. Three years ago Mrs. Parr received what she believed to be a Black Hand letter. Since then she has been in fear that her boy would be kidnaped, and she has employed a special policeman to guard her home. The bov was found at Edwardsville by a volunteer posse. He said he had boarded an interurban car intending to take a short ride. Not being familiar with the money fare schedule he found, after leaving the car at Lakewood, a summer resort, that he did not have policemen in BURIAL GROUND IN COUNTY TAXED AS A CORNFIELD Prosecutor Tashily of St. Louis County began an investigation, Friday, to learn whether the Shereth Israel Cemetery on the North and South Road, just north of Clayton, is a burying ground or a corn-; field. The purpose of the inquiry is to determine whether the Shereth Israel Cemetery Association is exempt from taxation. Several weeks ago when the mem- bers of the cemetery association tried to negotiate a loan of $5000 with which to improve their plot of 15 acres, a title examiner discovered’ the ground had been assessed by, the county tax assessors as a cornfield. The members | were shocked at the development be- cause some dozen or more bodies haa been buried in their ground and they were anxious to beautify the area with gravel paths and shrubbery. It was further learned by the title examinér that suit was pending in the Circuit Court at Clayton against the cemeterv for back taxes aggregating more than $400. : vhere the et = em ee Aen oe.

MAN HELD HIM, BOY SAYS Declares He Was Invited Into Place When He Refused to Quit Playing Marbles. William Hess, 30 years old, a saloon keeper of 1000 Hickory street, [Friday shot Richard McGee, 10 years old, in the left leg with an air rifle. The shooting occurred in his saloon at 10:30 a. At the Soulard Street Police Station Hess said he lost his temper because the boy had used abusive language in the saloon. McGee is the son of Pinkney H. Mc- Gee of 907 Hickory street. The wound was trivial and after it had _ been dressed at the city hospital the boy was sent home. He told ‘the police marbles outside the ordered him to get away. He said he told Hess he wouldn’t do it. In a little while, he said, a man invited him into the barrOdom under promise of. giving him a quarter. When he went inside he declared one man held him while Hess shot him. Hess’ story was that the boy was playing marbles inside the saloon and, when ordered out, used vile language toward the preprietor. He lost his tem- per, he said, and picked up the rifle. H2 insisted he did not intend to hurt the child. He kept the rifle in the saloon to shoot rats with, he said. Hess was detained until could investigate the affair.

Other pieces fell near the car, but no one was struck, though severai vehicles were near. A number of pedestrians were crossing the street near the place pipe struck, and some of these became considerably excited over their escape. The Broadway, Olive, Tower Grov- wad Natura!

WAR SONGS SUNG IN TOKIO; PETITION SENT TO PRESIDENT Leading Citizens, Alarmed at Japanese Situation Urge Him to Help “Avoid a Calamity.” PLANS OF ATTACK PRINTED Newspapers Outline) Way in Which Hawaii and Philippines May Be Seized. TOKIO, April 18.—The situation brought about by the California alien land holding bill is becoming increasing- ly serious. A mass meeting today, com- posed for the most part of irresponsi- ble people, demanded the most extreme measures of retaliation by Japan. The singing of war songs aroused the feel- ings of many of the lower classes who were present. Anonymous writers in the newspepers give an outline of plans for the seizure of the enilippines and Hawaii, and at the same time denounce the Japanese Government's subiniesive attitude. It is said the changed conditions in. Japan make it impossible for the Government to restrain the newspapers and the lower classes. On the other hand, Government cir- cles are showing a friendly spirit. Ham- ilton Wright Mabie of New York, Dr. Peabody and John L. Mott, secretary of the International Committee of the Young Men’s Christisen Association, were guests today at a luncheon given by Haron Noboaki Makino, the Foreign Minister, at which some of the most prominent Japanese and Americans were present. A very cordial feeling pre- vailed. Shortly after the luncheon Messrs. Ma- bie, Peabody and Mott and a number of representative Japanese Christians and Americans met at the residence of Count Shigenobu Okuma, former Pre, mier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Count OkKuma_ delivered a speech in ~hich he said that diplomacy, the courts and commercial men were helpless and that only the influence of Christianity remained. Otherwise, he declared, war was impending. Mott agreed in reply- ing that the influence of Christianity was now superlative. , Dispatches were sent by the meeting tu. President Wilson and* others implor- ing them to use all their influence on Christians and thoughtful pecple to avoid a calamity. The Japanese Government considers the present anti-Japanese movement in California as most dangerous and is con- fronted with the prospect of placing it- self in a most unwelcome position, owing to the unwillingness of the Government at Washington to intervene and. the impessibility of introducing counter measures. here. In the event of the passage of the alien land holding bill through both houses of the California Legislature, Japanese will issue an imperial ordinance enforcing the Japanese foreign land own- ership bill of 1910, and will apply to the Government at Washington for permis- sion for the Japanese to become natur- alized citizens of the ‘United States. Cabinet Does Not Discuss the Japan- ese Situation. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Members of the. Cabinet, after the meeting teday, said that the Japanese ques- tion was hot discussed. Secretary Bryan said neither he nor any other Cabinet member had been suggested to go to California, as had been re- ported.

ONWEST APPROACH) Comptroller Will Report That $203,000 Remains. in Fund’ for Wagon Roadways. —| Comptrolier Pla} Friday told a Post-Dispatch reporté. ¥hat, in his opin- ion, the city should push the completion of the west wagon approach of the free bridge. .He says the amount fre- rnaining from the original $3,500,000 bond issue is $203,000. Maxime: Rebert, retiring president of the Koard of Public Improvements, has figured the cost of finishing the west wagor. approach at $700,000. If it should have to be paid for before a new bond issue vecomes available, the balance would need to be provided from general revenue, The Comptroller said he probably would recommend to the Assembly that it should not’ appropriate’ $100,000 re- quired for the purchase of two tracts on Gratiot street, several blocks beyond the end of the projected west approach. He says he cannot see why the lend should be acquired. said Player, “are BRIDE, 16,0F BOY, Howard James Says He Wiil Howard James, University and Mary dents, aged 18 and ively, to Belleville, IIL., terrupted. told a Post-Dispatch reporter, Friday, he understood were action. test such a suit. something of a mystery to him. ‘Her husband found her gone from their flat at Thirty-ninth street and -Bo- tanical avenue the evening of March $1. she was ill in a’sanitarium, he sald. and more informaticn.

The house was deserted, the blinds drawn and the presence of newsapers on the front walk indicated that no one had been there since Thursday after- noon. The negro servants departed sometime in the morning, according to neighbors, One neighbor stated she believed Mrs. Miller’s daughter has taken her to a private sanitarium. She based her be- lief, she said, on the fact that Mrs. Miller had not appeared in good health during the past two weeks. Mrs. Marie Connor of Boston, the daughter who filed the suit, arrived in St. Louis the latter part of last week. Neighbors did not know whether she was a guest of her mother during the whole week or not. The police of the Page Boulevard Dis- trict say they never had any. occasion to visit the home until about two weeks ago, when Mrs. Miller reported the theft of a revolver. A negro servant con- fessed the theft and he was discharged. Mrs. Miller’s estate, left to her by her husband, Alfred I. Miller, a railroad of- fiical who died in October, 1911, is valued at $200,000. HOODOO MOTOR CYCLE AGAIN IS IN SERVICE Eust St. Louis Police Machine Which Has Injured 7, Still Pursues Auto Speeders. The hoodoo motorcycle of the East St. Louis Police Department, on which seven policemen have been injured, is again in service, pursuing automobile Speeders. It is manned by Patrolman Henry Schuetz, who lately left a hos- pital after suffering nearly a year from his injuries. The previous ac- cidents had been less serious, though several bones were broken. Schuetz, while riding the machine, collided with a physician’s automo- bile and his jawbone was broken. The jaw did not heal properly, ana parts of the bone had to be removed in repeated operations. He has sued the owner of the automobile for $10,000. After Schuetz was hurt, the ma- chine was put away, as none of the six others who had been tnfured was willing to ride {t again. Lately auto- mobile speeding has required a check and Chief Payne ordered the ola cycle put in service. NOT LAZY NOT STUPID Friends Fussed at Her for Being Lazy. When ‘All She Needed Was Cardui, the Woman’s Tonic. In an interesting letter from this place, Miss C. L, Fuquay writes as follows: “I was taken sick at my sister’s home, got up too soon and came to my home, which threw me into chills. This resulted in woman- ly troubles. : “I was without either energy or appetite, and my friends fussed at me for my stupidness, and said I was lazy. “But anyhow, I grew worse, and after taking to my bed. I was under the treatment of a physician for over a month, without relief. “At last my mother bought me a bottle of Cardul, the woman’s tonic, and before the first bottle was gone, I wag eating heartily, and before I had taken all of four bottles, I was O K in every way. “Cardui is what brought me relief, and I hope every woman who suffers as I did, will give it a trial.”— Springfield, Tenn. Cardui goes to the weak spots, and helps to make them strong. It is for the weak, tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel as though every- thing were wrong, and need some- thing to quiet their restless nerves, and strengthen their worn-out sys. tems. Thousands of women now enjoy good health, as a result of taking Cardui. Why not you? Try it. N.

By the time the last curtain fell on the Wolf-Ferrari music-melodrama of Neapolitan slum life this unhappy truth was in direful evidence. ‘he new opera is a second-rate work of flagrantly reminiscent qual- ity in its score, blusteringly boister- ous in its exaggerated action, almost grotesquely strenuous in its strain- ing for atmospheric effects, and, though occasionally containing a hinted promise of great achievement, never once rising to the point of greatness thus partially approached. To make matters still worse, the principals of the cast appearing in the opera’s first St. Louis perform- ance were not equal to the task of presenting it at its best, thus addi- tionally diminishing its appeal across the footlights. The one and only place where mediocrity failed to de- velop was in the orchestra under Cleofonte Campantini’s admirable con- ductorship. This excellent depart- ment of musical service emerged from the night’s endeavor with a great and well-deserved triumph to its credit. Carolina White fell short of one’s ex- pectation in the role of Maliella, the lawless-hearted Neapolitan second edi- tion of Carmen of Seville, for two good, sufficient and very vital reasons. The BY RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. HE Odeon lights that flickered tts tf, e) Carolina White as Malieltla in “The Jewels of the Madonna.”’ first of these reasons is that her voice seemed not to possess the color, warmth and passionate emotionalism necessary to the singing of the Maliella score. The second is that she seemed unable to surrender herself unreservedly to the dramatic demand of the part. The voice of this young American prima donna, as it was heard Thurs- day evening, was as hard as steel.

At the one or two moments where there was a com- pelling need for the utterance of melt- ing ,though sinful love, this note of ten- derness was not sounded. Nor was the deeper note of horror and a dreadful despair heard as the story of punish- ment for sacrilege neared its tragic close. The voice of Maliella was as cold as if Carolina White were singing at an afternoon concert of the most formal conventionality. Over-acting, however, was the fault of the dramatic portrayal of the Maliella role. It almost seemed that Miss White was striving to atone for the chilliness of her voice by a superheated fervor in her acting methods. She went too far in this direction. She played too fever- ishly with her raven-black masses of hair. She used her eyes too obviously. The only thing that kept her, Maliella, from being a perfect imitation of Car- men was that it overshot the Carmen mark. It was Carmen at a forced tem- perature of 10 degrees, which is too hot- ly feverish even for the fiery heroine of the Bizet opera to which Wolf-Fer- rari’s librettist owes so much of his dramatic inspiration. And never at any moment did Carolina White forget, her- self and become Maliella in the flesh. She was “acting’’ from start to finish. The biggest figure in the story told by this opera is that of Genarro, the pious and reverent-souled young blacksmith who, under the evil spell of his infatua- tion for Maliella, steals the jewels of the Madonna and then pays the price of his great sin by slaying himself before the Holy Mother’s shrine. Giuseppe Gaudengi, who interpreted this role on Thursday evening, more than once arose almost to its full dra- matic requirements and became fairly impressive. There were times, too, when he sang its score with considerable com- petency. His completed performance, however, may not justly be described as more than a clever second-rate portrayal of a part in which a truly great tenor unquestionably would have carried off the overwhelming honors of the night. Giovanni Polese in the baritone role of Rafaela, the young outlaw chief of the Neapolitan Cammoristi, for love of whom Maliella sacrifices her own good name and drives Gennaro to his doom, sang with throaty inefficiency and failed, dramatically, even to suggest the essential evil of the character. In his one best vocal opportunity, that of the serenade outside the gate of Maliella’s home, exquisitely ‘‘built up” for him by the orchestra’s masterful work, he was incredibly ineffective. His playing of the part is based too exclu- sively on its superficial aspect of reck- less gayety, which he maintains so per- sistently that the under-current of sin- ister malignancy receives practically nv emphasis. It was an uninspired perfor- mance, disappointing in exact propor- tion to its missing of good opportuni- ties. The many minor roles, notably those of Carmela, mother of Gennaro, sung by Louise Berat; the buffo part of Biaso, assigned to Francesco Daddi; Cicillo, taken by Emilio Venturini, and Stella, by Mabel Rigelman, were capa~- bly presented. At certain memorable moments the employment of Neapolitan folk-song themes lent much melodic charm to the Wolf-Ferrari score, and in one especial instance, that of the lovely intermezzo preceding the rise of the second-act curtain, there was genuine orchestral beauty in the work. But, oftener than one wishes to count, there were empha- tic suggestions of “Cayalleria Rusti- cana,” and of “Carmen,” with hints of Richard Strauss and “motif” gropings after big old Richard Wagner, all tend- ing to give serious doubt as to Wolf- Ferrari’s originality of creative inspir- ation.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE Breathe Hyomei and Be Rid of Catarrh—Clears Stopped-up Head. Nature has a remedy for catarrh nd troubles of the breathing organs, a treatment that is far better than dosing the stomach with medicine. It is the healing oils and balsams of Hyomei which medicates the air you breathe, reaching the most re- mote air cells in the nose, throat and lungs, killing the catarrhal germs, and restoring health to the mucous membrane. In using Hyomei you are treating your catarrhal troubles with the natural remedy, for it gives a cura- tive air bath to the air passages. It has a powerful healing and anti- septic effect similar to the air in the mountains where the forests give off the fragant and healing balsams. petra * us i, ‘ >) .

CHICAGO, April 18—On the blotter of the Sheffield avenue branch of the Mu- nicipal Court today appeared the names of Mrs. Augusta Dietz and George Nurn- berg, scheduled for arraignment in con- nection with the murder of Mrs. Dietz’s husband, George Dietz, a fashionable Jadies’ tailor. 9 After the Coroner’s jury had recom- mended that Mrs. Dietz and Nurnberg be arrested, attorneys arranged with Coroner Hoffman that both Mrs. Dietz and Nurnberg have liberty under police surveillance until this afternoon and that they be “booked” on a charge of murder and released on bonds of $5000 each. The inquest was continued to April 24. At the Coroner’s inquest yesterday it was testified that Nurnberg, a harness maker, and Mrs. Dietz had been friend- ly for some months. Dietz was aware of this, as was the harness maker's wife, who had her husband watched by detect- ives, who, among other things, had tapped telephone wires and listened to alleged conversations between Nurnberg and Mrs. Dietz. Two months ago Mrs. Dietz consulted a lawyer about obtain- ing a divorce, but was dissuaded. Nurn- | FAVOR OF D. R. FRANCIS Judge Jones Takes Case From Jury, Holds Assessment Not Legally Verified.

WAYMAN TO END HS LIF Former Chicago State’s Attor- ney Had Been Falsely Told He Had Appendicitis, THUS FORCED INTO REST Died From Two _ Bullets He Fired After Returning Home and Greeting Family. By Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 18.—John E. W. Way- man, former State’s Attorney of Cook County and Republican aspirant for Governor, who died early today from bullet wounds inflicted by himself sev- eral hours before. had for several days been under the delusion that he was afflicted with appendicitis, according to W. O. Krohn, the family physician. Wayman was believed to have been on the verge of a nervous breakdown and the appendicitis scare was used as a subterfuge to induce the patient to _o to Excelsior Springs, Mo., for a few days. He was told by the physician that this would be the way to prepare for the operation. He consented to go and returned to his home, believing that he was to undergo the operation. Up to the time he shot himself, he is believci io have thought that he must submit to the knife, within a sort time. He fired two bullets into his body, one making a clean hole in his left side and the other, which caused the most eerious wound striking two inches below his heart and glancing on a rib. Death was caused by a hemorrhage of the lungs. ; Uses a Client’s Pistol. He shot himself with an automatic ristol, the property of one of his cli- ents, who had Killed a man with the weapon. When Wayman entered the house in the afternoon Mrs. Wayman and the children were sitting in the parlor. To them the husband and father spoke pleasantly and went upstairs to the see- ond floor. Here he entered a large clothes closet cnd a moment later Mrs. Wayman was startled by shots and the crash of a falling body. Mrs. Wayman ran to his room, but could not see him. She threw open the closet door when her ettemtion ‘was jrawn by the smell of burned powder. There she found Mr. Wayinan in a heap “m the floor with the pistol beside him. me. I certainly have made a fool of wmnyself,” were Mr Wayman’s first words to Dr. Krohn, who restored him to consciousness. Later members of his family were called to his bedside when Dr. W. K. Murray informed .them that the patient was sinking. With a faint smile he recognized them and spoke to them. “IT guess I must have had a little sand in my gear box when I did that,” he said. A few moments later he died. Long Had Been Nervous, “Mr. Wayman has been extremely nervous for some time and went to his office against the advice of his physician,” said Dr. Krohn. “The thought of shooting himself flashed through his mind today by somve freak of mental process.” J. C. Wayman, brother of the form- er State’s Attorney, who had been lunching with J. E. Wayman just be- fore the shooting, said that a nerv- ous breakdown had caused his broth- er’s act. One of the most important prose- cutions conducted by Wayman, while State’s Attorney was that of Police Inspector McCann on the charge of accepting bribes from West Side dive keepers. McCann was among several policemen and dive proprietors in- Wicted in connection with the inves- tigation, but wags the only one tried. He was convicted and served a short term in the penitentiary. Wayman waged a relentless and vigoroys fight against the police of- ficial, and in doing s0 became es- tranged from many of his old friends. He also was conspicuous in the prose- cution. of men accused af bribery in connection with the campaign of William Lorimer for the United States Senate. Closed Resort District. One of the last acts of his adminis- tration last November was to close up the South Side resort district. He caused all of the resorts to be raided and scores of arrests followed. He then passed to his successor the task of keeping the district closed, ‘and formed a law part- nership. The former prosecutor was a profound student of Shakspeare and seldom if ever made a public speech in which he failed to use Shakspearean quotations. He was a gifted orator and won many friends last fall during his campaign through the State for the nomination on the Republican ticket for Governor. For several weeks his physicians hai warned him that unless he quit work he undoubtedly would die. Wednesday he sought another physician and re- celved similar advice. He became discouraged and went to a hospital, He remained in the institu- tion two hours and then went home. where he passed a sleepless night.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 18.—William PD. Haywood, the Industrial Workers of the World leader, has stirred up consider- able discussion in local silk goods circles by his statement that silk is no longer made from the cocoon of the stlk worm, but from rusty horseshoes, scrap iron and empty tomato cans of the city’s dumps. It is the opinioon of silk manufacturers that Haywood should learn a little more about the technical side of the industry with reference to the uses of metal adulteration before he gives out a state- ment based on a science of which he knows nothing. They declare his as- sertion to be “gross exaggeration.” The Paterson strike leader, in expos- ing the secrets of silk manufacture, at- tempts to show that the silk dress of today is in reality not a silk dress, but a tin dress. He said that it is about one part silk fibre to six parts tin, fron; lead or zinc, and that the metal is taken from scrap heaps back of the factory. James Chettick, a silk expert in the office of the Silk Publishing Co., is want one that will wear forever. | among those who defend the silk manu-| rs. ‘adulteration Necessary.” “Adulteration,” Chettick sald, ‘Is necessary nowadays to meet the demand for lower prices. There is no fraud about. the matter and no secret in the fact that metals are used to ‘weigh’ silks before they are dyed. “The public demands chéap silk. If it had to buy pure silk it would have to pay about 35 cents. per yard more than for the adulterated silk. For example, a woman buying a silk shirtwaist doesn't With- in a year or so the style will change and the waist will be practically use- less. A shirt waist weighted with metal, which can be purchased much Cheaper, looks just as well and will last as long as the pure silk one, pro- viding it does not come in contact with perspiration. That decays the fabric. Up to a certain period one can get as much wear out of an adulterated waist as out of one of pure silk. “When Haywood says that the metal used in the adulteration process comes from the tin cans off dump heaps he doesn’t know whereof he speaks,” con- tinued Chettick, “for only. the _ best grade tin and iron are used. The metal is of the kind traded in on the New York Metal Exchange. Detinning com- panies may get their tins from that source, but the silk manufacturers never do. “What the People Want.” ‘Haywood maintains that about 1 per cont silk to 6 per cent tin is used. That's not true, either. The average proportion is 40 per cent tin and @ per cent silk in all cologed silks. Iron is used mostly in weighting black silks. The average proportion is one-half silk to one-half iron. Very rarely. does it reach to one part silk to six parts iron. It can be done, however. Lead is seldom used. sd en, % =a SON a Y Washington Av. L. ACKERMAN 1000 ‘Tailor-Made Suits ) > li Manager 610-612 Washington Av.

LOUIS, FRIDAY FE EVENING, % a “WOELISNAMED TEMPORARY HEAD OF FREEHOLDERS Board Which Will Draft Pro-| posed New Charter Makes Rosenfeld Secretary. Permanent officers of the Board of Freeholders, elected April 1 to write and submit to the people a proposed charter for St. Louis, will be selected next Thursday. At the first meeting of the board in Mayor Kiel’s office Thursday afternoon, C. E. Udell was elected tem- porary chairman, and Samuel Rosenfeld, temporary. secretary. After the selection of its permanent officers the Board will begin the work Preliminary to the drafting of the charter. Samuel B. McPheeters, who was secretary of the Board of Free- holders elected in 1909, will be asked to turn over to the present board all of the records of proceedings, and such in- formation as the former board gathered. Mayor Kiel welcomed the members of the board to his office. After the mem- bers arrived the Mayo? went to the ball game. As F. N. Judéson-an4 Sno McDonald were absent, the members de- cided to take no further action than to elect temporary officers and fix a time to meet and organize permanently. A suggestion by Samuel Rosenfeld to ap- point a committee to recommend /per- manent officers was defeated. Louis P. Aloe and Thomas J. Rowe opposed the selection of officers by the committee method, holding that business of that kind should be done in open meeting. Upon motion by Charles Her- tenstein the meeting was thrown open to representatives of the newspapers. Hertenstein was presented with a floral design b ythe Typographical Union, and Col. Fred D. Gardner received a bou- quet of American Beauty roses from the Building Trades Council. Hertenstein is president of the Typographical Union. “The Building Trades Council sent the flowers to Col. Gardner in recognition of his having signed the Barry and Morrin bonds. The members discussed an appropria- tion to pay the expenses of preparing the proposed charter. No. definite action was taken, but the opinion prevailed that a suggestion to the Comptroller as to the amount of money required prob- ably would be all that Was necessary. The former board had an appropriation of $25,000. WAITER HEARD 26,000 AFTER DINNER bis Says Mark Twain Was Best. arid That Depew Liked to Make People Laugh. LONDON, April 18.—A.

Wade, treasurer of the ' Citizens’ Emergency Relief Association, on the Flood Relief Fund is a gratifying exhibit of St. Louis energy and liberality. The total St. Louis contributions aggregated $119,208.58. Of this total the Citizens’ Emergency Relief Committee received directly, including the contributions given through the Post-Dispatch, $68,084.48. The sum contributed by St. Louis compared with the contributions of other cities is highly creditable. Tne work of organizing the move- ment and collecting the money was done with admirable promptness, thoroughness and effec- tiveness. Twice has the Citizens’ Bmergency Relief Asso- ciation accomplished good emergency work. Last winter, in response to the need of. relief for the ‘unemployed, on the urgent demand of the Post- Dispatch that action be taken to provide for destitute unfortunates, the association was promptly organized to meet the crisis. Again in the pressing demand for flood relief it responded with the excellent results set forth in Mr. Wade’s report. “April 10, 1907. JOSEPH PULITZER.

All elements—men of all races, religions and politics—got together for a common purpose. Co-operation is the key to community success. The association is merely an emergency or- ganization; why not make it permanent? There is much to be done that cannot be accomplished by special limited organizations, that require ‘the united effort of all citizens. The problem of a municipal shelter to house and feed the destitute and to find work for those who are able to work, has not yet been solved. We have ro organized means to provide for men and women who are adrift, but might be put on the road to independ- ence and thus saved from pauperism, vice and crime. Many things can only be accomplished by a union organization of representatives of all charity organizations, races and religions, a cen- ter and clearing house of general relief and public welfare work. Men like Archbishop Glennon, Bishop Tuttle, Rabbi Sale, Dr. Bitting, Dr. Lee, Dr. Niccolls, W. K. Bixby, Ben Altheimer, Adolphus Busch, Col. Butler, Festus J. Wade, Sidney May, who have proved the value of co-operation in the Citizens’ Emergency Committee could easily organize a permanent associauion and assure its success and usefulness. Co-operation in philanthropy might be a beginning of general co-operation on the part of St. Louisans for the public welfare. It would be a — example. = = * rr Illinois’ former State's Attorney killed himself with an automatic pistol with which a client of his had killed another man.

Just as it was about to start across the Atlantic from the Canary Isles, the Brucker balloon lost its gas and collapsed on the shore. Nobody will biame the balloon. The engineer had just lost his buoyancy also, and taken out $50,000 life in- surance for his widow (we say widow on pur- pose), and somebody was humming, “ ’Twas off the blue Canary Isles I smoked, my last cigar.” We do not wish to go on record as a pessimist about this transatlantic balloon business. The embarrassment of our esteemed uncontempora- ries of Spain who pooh-poohed Christopher Co- lumbus in 1492 has taught us not to disparage anything in this line. Some day the ocean will be crossed by air-craft and we shall point with pride to this prediction. Rather than sneer at the Canary Isle attempt we should prefer to be as credulous as the British journalists and scien- tists who sent a commission to this country to inquire into Edgar Allan Poe’s astounding tale of a balloon that had made the journey. If the Canary Isle balloon recovers its strength, poise and purpose to renew its attempt our salvos will be accompanied by our stoutest hopes. But the fact remains that the only balloons that have crossed successfully to date have done sc in the imaginations of Poe, Kipling and their imitators; and the balloon that does so actually will, in the patois, have to go some. We reiterate, sympathetically, that nobody will blame a balloon or its crew for exhibiting a slight nervousness and hesitation at the start. = = i Before instituting a new series of election con- tests, St. Louis Democrats might at least see that the expenses of the old contests are paid = = = BELGIAN TAMENESS.

The benefits of athletics on such a plan are not confined to a few gladia- tors, as in the case of professional athletics, or to a few specially picked representativés, as in the. case of college athletics. The benefits are widely distributed. The object of the events is not to provide exciting spectacles or settle rival- ries, though the stimulus of rivalries is not un- appreciated, It is to give instruction in correct methods of physical exercise and train healthful, robust bodies. These are the commendable objects of the Public School Athletic League in St. Louls. The greater the number of participants, the more nearly the aims of the league will be attained. The Post-Dispatch’ Public School Baseball League opens its season tomorrow. The annual publi¢ school field day is set for May 81. finn eee The sheep industry having steadily declined under high protection, the vote against free wool of Congressman Joshua W. Alexander of Mis- sourl looks like an attempt to continue the de- ler Primary Law. To the tre spegredh dey: Post-Dispatch. In view of the fact that contests of election of Democrats and Republicans are te be made in the recent municipal election, the ballot of every man who voted in that election will be subject to investigation, and as the ballots are numbered for each voter as he cast his ballot, it will be an easy matter to find out who acted in bad faith in that election. Some of those who took an oath as the primary law requires to vote for the party nominee, may land in State prison. The primary law requires that a man who is not known to belong to the political party for which he calls for a ballot at a pri- mary election, must obligate himself under oath to support the party nominee. [I quote you Section 6028 of the primary law: passed by the last Legislature with an emer- gency clause which was approved Feb. 14, 1913, and was used for the nomination of our Muni- cipal candidates in the recent campaign: “Sec. 6028. Who entitled to vote——No person shall be entitled to vote at any primary unless a qualified ‘elector of the precinct and duly reg- istered therein, and known to affiliate with the political party named at the head-of the ticket he calls for, or will make affidavit or furnish Froper proof that he is affiliated with the party whose ticket he calls for, or obligates himself under oath to support the nominee of said party at the following city election. “Sec. 6086a. Penalty—Any ‘person violating any of the provisions or requirements of this act for which no other or different punishment is prescribed, shall be guilty of felony and upon conviction be punished by imprisonment in the State penitentiary for a term of not less than two nor more than five years.” Of course it is perjury to swear one way and vote another. The law makes such perfidy a criminal act, and classifies it as felony. The primary law, by implication, if not by direct de- mand, makes it both a legal and moral obliga- tion for a voter in the primary to support the nominee of the party for which he votes, and therefore he must vote for the nominee of that party in the following election. The.present primary law provides that non- partisan tickets may be printed where 2 per cent of the registered voters petition for same. Fur- thermore, if a registered voter has any doubt that he will support the nominee for party for which political partisans vote, such voter can stay out of the Primary and there {fs no law re- quiring him to go into same, in which case in the election following, he can vote for any nominee that suits his pleasure. G. W. HARRIS. Newspapers in Public Library. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. At 4 p. m. last Saturday no dally paper of a later date than Thursday, published outside of St. Louis, was posted up in the newspaper read- ing room of the Central Library. There was no paper of any kind from Chicago on file, and at 23 Pp. m., Monday, no later date than Friday was posted from that city. This service is not cred- itable to the management of a million-dollar li- brary maintained at considerable expense for “the benefit of the people.” While the posting up is slow, the removal from the files is needlessly swift. For reference purposes papers should re- main on file for a full week at least, if the files tan possibly hold them. OLD MEMBER. _— School Anditorium Wanted. Fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Recently over three hundred citizens, fathers and mothers and patrons, living in the Sherman school district, submitted a petition to the Super- intendent to enlarge the kindergarten room to an auditorium. This enlarged space is first of all needed for the efficiency of the school itself, which fact is admitted by the principal himself. Ir. harmony with the princtpal, we submit- ted our petition, but [In our petition we stated we wanted this epace im the school builld- ing also for an audotorium for the use of the community. And that we dared to state our de- sire was the cause that or petition aroused the ispleasure of the Superintendent, whose letter im reply contains nothing but theory and nothing practical. When the petition came before the board, the Superintendent remarked, in squashing it. “O, we don’t build any auditoriums for the people.” One member who knew the situation and ap- preciated our effort saved the petition from being filed by his remark that we might have made @ mistake in mentioning the purpose of the audi- terlum.

You say cattle are not going on the free list of the Democratic tariff, but that we are going to have free Bibles and free asbestos, free dan- delion roots, dragon’s blood and palm leaf fans, free razor hones, asafetida, paris green, pulu, sheep dip, rennets, skeletons, funk, spunk, "coon- skins, mungut, myrobolus, free turtles, pewter, mungo, noils, false teeth, turpentine and zaffer. But the iniquitous Payne-Aldrich bill has al- ready put on the free list asbestos, dandelion root, dragon's blood, palm leaf fans, razor hones and whetstones, asafetida, pulu, sheep dip, ren- nets, skeletons, junk, spunk, ’coonskins and all other raw skins, mungeet, ‘myrobolous, pewter, turtles, mungo, false teeth, turpentine and saf- fer. So, aside from Bibles, sold in this country as cheap as anywhere else, and nofl waste and a few cents a pound on paris green, you claim no improvement for the new tariff over the old standpat bill. Why do you discuss a great and important subject with such bonehead ignorance that any intelligent mechanic can see it is point- less, if intended seriously, and stfll more point- legs if intended to be facetious—in fact, amus- ing only for .its dense misapprehension of the facts. MECHANIC—WHO HAS BHEN A _ POST-DIS- PATCH READER FOR 17 YEARS. A Colored Woman’s Protest. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. With a feeling of appreciation as to the way the officers helped the women attending a local sale through the crowd of men, I stepped upon the threshhold and was told by a kindly officer to enter. Suddenly a big officer squared himself, slammed the door, hurling at me the words: “no laundresses wanted.” For awhile it dazed me. I don’t see the disgrace in being a laundress, as all work done is honorable. But what I do want to know: Does he think a colored woman's voca- tion quite so limited, or did he think that crowd of civilized. men could find laughter in a big man's cowardly remark to @ defenseless woman? I happen not to be a laundress, but the daughter of a man who enjoys the respect and friendship of every white man whose broad and noble ideas bring them in contact. I hope he and everybody that thinks like him will take heed, “Life is a game of see-saw.” All that are too old to acknoweldge respect to others, a@ necessity to gaining sound self-respect, should see that his descendants are born with broader and less egotistic minds. “Egotism saps the strength of a people.

Some civic body for the dissemination through town of persons waiting be- tween trains at the St. Louis Union Sta- tion might profitably study the new condition which prevalis at the station by reason of the development of elec- tric street signs. It is a question if the average incomer at the station on an evening train cares to go further than the sidewalk. The electric display ig very diverting, and it is doubtful if the rest of+the city is very seriously competing with it. At any rate, one can see a crowd in front of the station any nice night enjoying the spectacle as much as if it were Paine’s Pompell. It even applauds. Nothing less than an even more animated display of some sort would get most of those people out in town. BOUGHT—AND PAID FOR. By James Seymour, the Hobo Poet.

= SS et ees «= ae + iy ee eee ane soe eae, The Post-Dispatch Daily Story Assisting The Fortune Teller By George M. A. Cain | R. MARTIN MULCAHEY walked into Fairyland alone, with about as dejected an air as a man could possibly wear. He walked out with his head high, whistling ‘‘Kath- leen Mavourneen.” His dejection was emphasized by the knowledge that Mary was spending this evening, as she had spent most of her , evenings during the past four weeks, in the society of Mr. Albernon Reilly. It was hard, especially in view of the fact that Martin’s raise of pay had materialized just two weeks after the appearance of his rival. Martin had been waiting for that raise to declare his love and ask Mary’s hand forever and ever and then some. But, as mentioned above—at the very beginning, in fact—Martin came out of Fairyland very much cheered up. He had just had a quiet interview with a certain publicity agent who acted as manager for a so-called Hindu magi- cian and fortune teller. The fortune tel- ler was a recent addition to the won- ders and attractions of the park. Martin had become interested when he heard the man’s weird, thrice-repeated cry: ‘“‘Heenah—heenah—heenah.”’ “Sounds like a lost dago callin’ for his wife to save him,’’ Martin had com- mented to himself. He had found the magician dressed in what passes at summer parks for an Oriental costume; and the publicity agent had helped to explain something of the mysterious purpose of the short, thick bamboo stick over which the al- leged Hindu was making strange passes when Mulcahey came up. ‘It is written pen, pencil or ink,” the manager was saying to the gaping crowd. ‘Prince Sago Uli has puzzled the entire world with this marvelous power of his. He has never before ex- hibited in these parts. For five cents, ladies and gentlemen—for the ridiculous- ly low price of a nickel—this native prince from India will write your fortune upon a blank sheet of paper without the use of pen, pencil or ink. Who'll be the next?’’ There came an idea that was nothing less than an inspiration. When the manager was having a lull in business, Martin approached him with a question: “You want to make ten dollars dead easy?” Mystically told fortunes, sold at five cents each, even with a fair rush of business, do not put a man in a posi- tion to laugh at ten dollars. The man- ager did want to make ten dellars. For that amount he could fix things so that the magic-writing prince wouid write almost anything that his client desfred. The letter that Martin Mulcahey dic- tated, when polished up a little by the manager, read as follows: Your life has been without great sorrow thus far. But beware! Two suitors now seek your hand. One of these is false, theam,ber trué. As you “this letter you will see look up fr your true pe tl smiling into your eyes, Your Icky numbers are ten and twenty-five. Your best season is sum- mer. You should become engaged on the 10th of July, and married on the 25th of August. It remained for Martin to bring Marv Flynn to the park and to interest her in the magic-writing Hindu prince. I*+ should go without saying that the next day was the 10th of July. It was also Thursday, Mulcahey knew* that Alger- non Reilly was regularly engased some- where on Thursday evenings. Those had been the only evenings on which he had been able to see anything of his erstwhile sweetheart since Reilly appeared on the scene. “Come on up and see the fireworks in Fairyland, Mary," he invited her. . when she received him on the front step the next evening.”’ “Oh, I suppose so."’ Mary replied, with a toss of her head. “I'm feeling a bit tired—not much like going anywhere far this evening. Mr. Rellly and I was to West Beach last night."’ Her tone very artistically conveyed the insinuation that West Beach was to Fairyland—as Mr. Algernon’ Reilly t» Mr. Martin Mulcahey. So did the lan- guid, indifferent manner with which she walked with Martin to the car. Martin was too excited to talk on the way, and Mary did not seem sufiicient- ly interested tn “enything to say much. It was not until they had walked most of the lenath of the “‘pike’’ and stopped at the soda stard, tn front of which the Hindu Prines was performing, that any conversation tovk place. “Geet” Martin exclaimed#rith well- feigned surprise. “It look#™ike a new magician, just finishing his mysterious passes over the bamboo tube. ‘‘They’ve had that down to West Beach this good while. I’ve had three ietters from them fake spirits of Indians al- ready—all different.”’ “Oh, of course it’s a fake, all right,’’ Martin assented boldly. He pretended ty» show great interest in the process, which was near enough to be easily watched from their table. “But it’s a pretty good fake.” “But it is alreacy wrote,” she said la- conically. “Let’s go and catch him at it.’’ Mar- tin suggested. Mary followed him, being badly bored. “That tube’s empty, sure enough,” he said, when they had watched the per- former for a moment. “And the paper locks blank all right when he puts it in,” Mary admitted. ‘“‘Now, watch.’’ “I’m going to try it,”’ he said. to have a look at that pap.” He tried it. Together they laughed over the vague letter he got. *‘Here, you try it. He wouldn’t let me have another.” Martin’s great moment had come. He winked at the manager, who shifted a sheet from the bottom to the top of his pad so cleverly that Martin himself could hardly see him do it. Quickly he wrote down the initials “M. F.” Mary was satisfied that the with the air of “T want sheet was concealed beneath it. The Hindu prince went through his little rig- marole, while Mulcahey trembled in his catent-leathers. With drawn face he watched the tiny roll of paper come forth from the tube. Then he held his breath and made his face smile, while he stood close beside Mary and waited for her to look into his eyes. | He was beginning to suspect that she was keeping her eyes down on purpose to avoid his, when something happened that drove the last vestige of smile from his face. The word that he said to him- self would not have been proper to speak aloud. For a dapper figure had swung into view, and a somewhat affected voice was cooing: “Good evening, Mary.” And Mary looked up into the smiling face of Mr. Algernon Reilly. For an instant Martin Mulcahey stood gasping for breath. Then, suddenly he came to. He realized that something was not as he thought it was. He saw that Mary was not smiling back at Reilly. On the contrary, she was star- ing at him with eyes that flashed fire and brimestone. But she stopped Mar- tin before he could execute the move- ment that might have sent Reilly to the hospital and himslf to jail. “Come on Marty,’ she said known this person.”’ “Wh-what'’s happened to. you and Reilly!” Mulcahey managed to stammer, when they had put the width of the park between themselves and the dap- per young man. “Oh, nothing!"”" Mary said vaguely. Then, apparently, she decided that some excuse must be offered for her treat- ment of Mr. Algernon Reilly, if she did not wish to appear to disadvantage in Martin's eyes’. ‘‘For one thing, he got a little too fresh*}ast night, coming home. I never liked him very much, anyhow. And then, for another thing—” She broke on abruptly. Although his brain was reeling with the revelation, Martin held his voice in frome sort of control while he prompted her. “Tell me, what was the other tchg, Mary?” “Well, I know that magic letter was a frame-up the minute I heard it.’’ Mar- tin’s heart, sank, His momentary re- newal of hope went out. “You fixed that indian Prince guy, didn't you?” Mulcahey failed to answer—simply be. Cause he knew not what to say. “Anyhow, that stuff about the two levers and the true one smiling in my face—you certainty did try hard to smile,”’ she grinns]. Martin's face grew red to the roots of his hair, He owned up now with the assumed boldness of a schoolboy who knows he is caught. “I did.”’ “I thought so,” the girl replied ecasi- ly. “That’s the other reason why I couldn't see as I needed Mr. Algernon Rellly any more.” Even then, Martin puzzled so hard try- ing to think out just what had happened, and what Miss Flynn meant, that he a)- most forgot to make the first of the “I don't take over there. ° | _ Mary turned & languid gaze upon the ae ee te em tn ~~ ew he licky dates come true.” 1918, the Frank A.

President McPheeters of the Police Board has promised to make public Fri- ,/day afternoon the detailed statement of the special legislative committee of Police Department employes in connec- tion with the police salary increase bills before the recent Legisiature., It is reliably stated there is a divi- sion among members of the board as to Whether certain members of the depart- Ment identified with the police lobby operations ought to be disciplined. One of the commissioners is said to have been particularly persistent in his quiries.as to a large sum paid to Joe Tall of Clark County for “legal serv- ices,” The publication in the Post-Dispatch that Tall had received, according to a Police Commissioner, “‘at least $1000’’ for his work at Jefferson City, came as a great surprise to Senator Kinney and other members of the St. Louts delega- tion, who supported tne police salary in- crease bDiils. Senator Kinney, when seen by a Post- Dispatch reporter, said had heard Tall’s name mentioned in connection With the police lobby, but he had no idea just what service he had performed for the police. Tall Not Before Committees. “Do you know if Tall openly repre- Sented the police at Jefferson City?’ -Kinney was asked. “I never knew he had any connection with the police whatever,’’ said the Senator.” He never appeared before any committee of the Legislature’ re- garding the police salary bills, and, so far as I am aware, he never admitted that he had been employed by the po- lice. “The only legal work done for the po- lice at Jefferson City that I know of was the drafting of an amendment to the police salary bill by one of Attor- ney-General Barker’s assistants. When the movement for increased _ salaries started I warned one of the men con- nected with it that everything must be open and above board. I was assured that nothing would be concealed and the only money to be spent would be to pay the legitimate expenses of the officers who came to Jefferson City in connec- tion with the bill.” “Do you recall a meeting of the Mu- nicipal Corporations Committee, at which Sergeants Jeans and Campbell were interrogated by Senator Whit- ledge as to the money raised for the police salary bills and that they then ” | he | gaid it was only a small sum to pay the Bs 24.75 Sale of Wash Dresses At 95c, 1.50 and 1.95 Actual Values, 1.50 to 3.50 e No one will appreciate the values of these Dresses more than | the woman who hag dresses made at home, for she, alone, will realize what work goes into one of them, and time consyied in their making and cost of the materials.

And I have no doubt when the home rule police law goes into effect the Municipal As- sembly will grant the increases.”’ Joe Tall has been in St. Louis several days conferring with Sergeant Jeans and other members of the police legisla- tive committee. He called Wednesday at the office of Thomas L. Anderson in the Central National Bank Building. Ander- son says he was absent from his office at the time. ELECTRIC COMPANY SUES TO ENJOIN THE LACLEDE -—-- At Same Time the Old Light and Development Mandamus Action Is Dismissed. An injunction suit was filed, Thurs- day, in the Circuit Court, by the Light & Development Co. of St. Louis, to re- strain the Laclede Gas Light Co. from refusing to supply it with electric cur- rent at its premises, 6122 Easton avenue. The petition states that contract was made March 25, 1913, by which the La- clede agreed to furnish electric ser- vice for a year. The service was in- stalled, according to the petition, but the Laclede threatens to discontinue it. A mandamus suit of the plaintiff com- pany was dismissed about the time the injunction suit was filed. In the man- damus action the Light & Development Co, sought in 1908 to compel the Board of Public Improvements to recognize its right to string wires across the streets under its old franchises. 7 After a recent decision of the Supreme Court, by which the West End Light & Power Co. was denied the right to cross streets in enlarging its conduit service, the mandamus suit was abandoned, and the Board of Public Improvements at- tempted to have an ordinance passed opening Up the old conduit districts for a reletting of space. The measure failed after Councilman Lehmberg had introduced a substitute drawn by attor- neys for the Union Electric Light & Power Co., denying the right to build conduits under streets now so used. Man’s Body Found in River. The body of a white man was taken from the river at the foot of Fill- more ,street Friday morning and await.. identification at the morgue. The body had been in the water about three weeks. The man was about 45 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall. Sev- eral teeth in the upper jaw are miss- ing. He wore trousers of dark ma- terial, overalls, a blue and black striped shirt summer underwear, black lace shoes, blue cotton socks and no coat or vest. Hawthorne Sceks Parole.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 18—Persons to whom Dr. F. F. Friedmann gave his turtle serum three weeks ago at the eases appeared for examination and fur- ther advice in that institution yester- day. Dr. Friedmann had asked that Thursday be set apart for the re-ex- amination of the cases and had prom- ised to be present, but he did not ap- pear and sent no word as to his where- abouts or plans. Dr. Frauenthal examined each pa- tient’s limb or joint, asked a few ques- tions and dictated his findings to Dr. Finkelstein of the hospital staff. There was a notable improvement in several of the cases, notably that of a girl about 10 years of age, suffering from tuberculosis of the right knee. She was able to bend the knee to a right angle and was walking around without any support. All pain and much of the swelling had disappeared. One German woman was perfectly de- lighted with the result attained in her child, a flaxen-haired girl, 7 years old. for months, but her mother sa now eats, runs and plays abc any other child. She seemed to think there was no need for further treat- ment, but the doctors ordered her — to with deep ugly had largely disappeared, and the holes of so-called sinuses had closed. This group seemed to be the most satisfac- tory of all. Not all the cases had improved. in some the joints were still swollen, pain- ful and held in a fixed position, Three or four of the cases showed abscesses at the site of injection into the muscles Of the 28 patients who returned, seven or eight were so improved as to cause favorable comment on the part of the physicians present.

By W. J. O’Connor. An optician would do the Cardinal players a heap of good at this stage of the National League scramble. Manager Huggins’ men are suffering from bad eyesight brought on by lack of practice. Unless they can clarify their vision by long batting sessions during their brief stay at home, they will be at a dis- advantage when they hit the road for a 82-day trip, starting 10 days hence. Hug inaugurated morning practice Fri- day, when his players reported at 10 o'clock for a lengthy session. The matin workouts will consist entirely of bat- ting practice. eager to have Koney Koney hit into a double play Thursday, killing a promising looking rally in the ninth inning. The Cardinals looked bad in their in- _Bugural game at home Thursday, sim- ply because they couldn’t hit. The Cubs, on the other hand, stacked up like pen- nant winners behind the great curving of Larry Cheney. However, Evers’ me: threw a defense as tignt as a kettle- Grum around Cheney and it was har to puncture it for safe knocks, but it Was the old story of a team shaping itself around pitching. Griner Not at His Rest. Don Griner proved a keen disappoint- ment to many of the fans who didn't Btop to analyze the defeat. There's no Genying the fact that Griner was hi* hard, but with a tighter defense he would have escaped with only four runs being scored. And a pitcher who holds the Cubs to four runs is doing fair to middling work. Evers’ team is essentially- a slugging outfit. There’s no speed on the club, ¢ach man being picked for his batting proclivities. And in such men as Zimmerman. Schulte, Clymer, Bresnahan and Mitch- ell, who at present is a little off form, Evers has an array of talent that will strixe terror into many a pitcher's heart. They will murder poor pitching and do pretty fair against good pitch- ing. However, aside from Cheney, who finished second to Hendrix last season among the N. L. pitchers, Evers has no Starry twirlers and his team will be Obligcd to manufacture a lot of runs to win. Ivey Wingo’s work so far this season has been very mediocre. The brick-topped back- stop is slow in rounding to, his throwing be- the biggest disappointment. He un- corked two bad pegs to Chariey O'Leary Thureday, while he kicked off Wednesday's game in Cincinnati. However, Ivey has the pepper and perseverance to keep trying. am! the fans have confidence in his ability of rounding to.

We have learned through sad experi- ence at the hands of the Cutlers, S5am- sons, Luttbegs, Olsons and others that when we invite a friend to a mat bout it’s the proper thing to tell him: “‘Come and bring your disinfectants.” In wrestling it doesn’t take two to rnake a bargain. One perfectly innocent and willing contender, all unknown to himself, may be made a party to a frame-up by his opponent. Never a breath of suspicion has tainted the repu- tation of Al Wasem, who works at his trade all day and trains by night, to wrestle for a pittance and a little glory on Sundays.

Max's wonderful wrestling ability has gone for nothing because of certain sinuosities in his reputation, put there by trying to follow two trails at the same time. When we add to this fact the information that Wasem was for- merly a pupil of Luttbeg, there’s a temptation to view with suspicion the coming bout. But there’s no need of this. Luttbeg will wrestle his arms off to beat Wasem in the coming match for the following reasons: It’s oblivion for the former champion, if Wasem wins. .

But that fight may be stricken from the record of Rivers, just as the first victory over him won by Joe Mandot should be forgotten. Johnny is undoubtedly the best featherweight in the game, and that he will beat Dundee is a foregone conclusion right now. hye ed he will do after the mateh, with the fleld thoroughly combed of rivals, is the question that leads him to try his luck in a higher division.

SNES SHOWIN AGAINST DETROIT WINS HIM BERTH Stovall Pleased With Work of Tall Los Angeles Pitcher. By Clarence F. Lloyd. Of the Post?Dispatch Sporting Staff. DETROIT, Mich., April 18.—Starting off the first road trip with a defeat has failed to unnerve the Bgowns. In fact, the consensus of opinion of the players at breakfast this morning was that a continuation of the brand of baseball they played against the Tigers yester- day will enable the team to win as often, if not oftener, than it losses. I* was nothing but a bit of misfortune that brought the 4-to-3 trimming at the hands of the Cobbless Tigers, even after the St. Louisans had started four runs to the bad because Pitcher Walter Lev- erenz, the Coast recruit, didn’t possess the neeagsary foolers. Despite the Tigers’ quartet of unearned runs, the Browns kept plugging away. Slating the ninth the score was 4-3 against them, the same as at the finish. Ernie Walker was sent up to swing fo- Agnew. He lifted a tall fly over the pitchers’ mound and owned a lucky hit when Pitcher Hall, Gainer and Oscar Stanage let it drop between them for a single. Mike Balenti, swinging for Dwight Stone, who finished for Leve- renz, laid down a neat sacrifice. After Shotton popped to Bush, Johnston and Williams worked Hall for passes. Fielder Right in the Way. That filled the bases for Pratt. Pratt did his best and leaned against a hook with all his might. The ball went out like a rifle shot, and it looked as if more than enough runs to win would be scored, But it took a course straight for Second Baseman Louden, who squeezed onto it and ended the gume. No ball was probably ever hit harder than Pratt’s drive. A foot higher, low- er or to either side would have netted him a certain triple and the Browns three runs. The mystery of the whole thing is that it didn’t floor Louden. He didn’t put up his hand with any intention of making a play but to save himself from disaster. Luckily he managed to grab onto the ball and it stuck in his mitt. The game, however, was productive of two pleasing things. First, that the Browns are fighting and refuse to give up even in the face of a four-run lead for the opposition. The other was the showing of Dwight Stone. One Scratch Hit Off Stone. ey He took the mound at. the beginning of the third round in which Hughey High of St. Wouls got a scratch’ hit to Dee Walsh, his pal. That was the only blow, and it wasn’t a bora fide one, that the Tigers made off Stone in the six innings he served. He passed Bush on both occasions that Donile faced him, while Walsh made a low throw of another hopper from High's bat These three were the only ones to reach first, aside from High’s hit, but Stone saw that no more runs came.’ Manager Stovall was so impressed with Stone’s showing that he told the Jong right-hander that he could wire Mrs. Stone, who lives in Los Angeles, to eome to St. Louis. Prior to yes- terday, Stovall wasn’t sure that Stone would linger. He had shown consider- able stuff, but after the outing against the Tigers, the manager informed the pitcher that he would be risking no rafiroad fare in bringing Mrs. Stone East. Johnson Messes a Play. While Pratt’s liner to Louden really should have won the game, the near-runs wouldn’t have been needed had Jack Johnston turned a better play on a drive from Bush’s bat in the second. A triple by Donie and Craw- ford’s sacrifice fiy had scored one run in the firet. Starting the second. Pratt booted a rattler from Moriarty’s bat. Then High got a real single over second. Deal laid down a bunt along the third base line, but Leverens made a wide heave to first, and when the ball rolled to the right field pa- vilion, Morrie and High scored, while Dea! raced to second. Deal was picked off sec- ond and Stanage struck out, but Hall came through with a double over Johnston's head, while Bush also hit to the same territory. Jack thie time made a bad play and Donie's blow went for a double. on which the pitcher scored. Had he made the catch it would have ended the inning and saved a run. - Johnston, however, hit over two of the Browne’ three runs later. They came after two were out. Stone singled to right. while Shotton hit to the same field, and by a great sprint stretched to a double. Then Johnston lined to center for a base and both came over. Manager Stovall will give Walsh a rest, Carl Wellman, who owns two victories over the Cardinals, one over the Tigers -- gmd one over the White Gox this season. For Detroit, it will be Joe Lake, the ex- Brownie, or Jean Dubuc, the Frenchman.

The High School Beseball League will inaugurate its schedule Saturday after- noon with two games, McKinley playing Central in the initial tilt at St. Louis U. campus, while Yeatman High, last year’s champion team, will tackle Sol- dan at Pastime Park. Central, Soldan and Yeatman follow- ers are al] looking toward the cham- pionship, this season, due to the large equads that have been reporting for dally practice. While Yeatman won the title last year the North Siders’ prospects are dubious, inasmuch as the Central High nine failed to have a team in the field last year. The rejuvenated red and black aggre- gation has six old players thet assisted in landing the title two years ago. Soldan has the largest squad of any of the schools, there being more than thirty trying for the various positions. Mc- Kinley, owing to the newness of the material, seems to have little chance of landing in the first position. The first game will start at 1:15. April 19—McKinley vs. Central; Soldan vs. Yeatman.

He was chosen for this posi- tion by a majority of the votes cast by tke members of last season's squad. Hardaway is an old Central High star an‘4 has won the football ‘‘W'’ for the last two seasons at’ W. U. Although the smaliest man on the team, he proved himself during the past season to be the hardest tackler of the bunch.

Rampant Roger ripped off a single in the second inning that sent Vic Sailer home with the first Cub run and al- though he went hitless his next three times at bat, he made more noise than any of the Cub players—and that in- cludes Manager Evers. Bresnahan is several pounds lighter than he was last Roger, in Great Condition, Proves Valuable F actor as Cub Private year and he works with the avidity of a man eager to hold his job. The Duke did not seem abashed by the fact that he was appearing as 4 private before a crowd that for four years had recognized him as a great leader. He went at his work as though he liked it and proved a great help to Larry Cheney, who threatened for a while to blank the dull-eyed proteges of Miller Huggins. Red Oakes appeared in a dual role. In the fifth inning he contributed 4 peautiful fielding play, taking Sailers egg while racing madly into short left fle Owever, in the eighth Reb failed to back up Steve Evans on Evers liner and the ball rolled to the fence for @ — run.

OOK what I’ve got for my lIit- é¢ tleman!’’ said Mr. Jarr blithe- ly, when he came home the other evening. He handed his little m&n what he had for him, but the little Man evinced no great enthusiasm. “‘Aren’t those fine marbles?” went on the fond father. “When I was a boy we didn’t have such beauties. Mainly we had hard clay marbles we called ‘blacks,’ and the best marbles were ‘chineys,’ ‘glassies’ and agates. Agates were the finest. But look here at the steel marbles, and all the fancy va- rieties!"’ “Thank you, pop,” said Master Jarr, but he showed no enthusiasm. “S’matter, son?” asked Mr. “Aren't you feeling well?’ “Yes, sir, I'm feeling fine,” replied the boy. “Don’t you ike the marbles papa got you?” “Yes, Till put them year, sir.”’ ‘Next parent. “Yes, sir, marbles is over,” replied Master Jarr. . “Well, that’s too bad, my son,” said Mr. Jafr. ‘I forgot. I might have known it when I saw the man have to dig them up from the back of the toy store, and then he was so surpris- ingly liberal.” “That’s all right, pop,” said Master Jarr, who was an appreciative little fellow. “I°ll put them away till next year.” “Now, there's a little thoroughbred for you,” said Mr. Jarr, to his good lady, as the little boy wernt away with the marbles. ‘“‘A lot of boys would have complained. Just for that I am going out and get something that is in sea- pon!’’ “If I do say it myself, we have the nicest children,” Mrs. Jarr remarked complacently. “Took at Httle Hmma there, sitting in her little chair trying to sew a doll’s dress. She never com- plained when you brought in marbles for the boy and didvi’t bring her any- thing’’— “T'd be glad to,” said Mrs. Jarr, “but I don’t know what to get for a little girl. She has dolls and you don't want her to have too much candy. But you must get her something. What do you want mother to get you?” he added, turning to the little girl. “Nuffin, papa,’ said the child angell-. cally, “Mamma’s making me & new dwess!"’ Jarr. away till next year?” faltered the fond “Just for that I will get her some- thing, and the boy something,” said Mr. Jarr. And he went out to do so. At the cor- ner he came upon Master Iszy Slavin- sky winning Master Gussie Bepler’s . Louis } WATCHES, JEWELRY er month, OC. M.

Hey, Izzy, come along with me and pick out some tops for my boy, and I'll give you a couple, too.” “Oh, I don’t want them,” replied Mas- ter Slavinsky. “‘But I'll be giad to pick some. for Willie.” Mr. Jarr wondered what was coming over the children. They were all getting so good and polite that it was amazing as well as gratifying. He did not know at thé moment that the top season too was on the wane and, anyway, Master Slavinsky would prob- ably win Master Jarr’s top as he had Master Bepler’s. “What kind shall I get?” asked Mr. Jarrt. “Well,” said the boy sage of the neigh- borhood, “‘you can get tops with ball- bearing pegs, or tops with spring pegs, or screw pegs.” Then Master Slavinsky launched into an explanation of the various qualities of the ball-bearing, as compared with the spring and screw pegs. It would seem that the apring peg top was in de- mand as an ornamental spinner, the ball-bearing peg as a steady quiet spin- ner and the screw peg as an engine of destruction to split the dead tops wait- ing in the ring to be knocked out by the Players in turn. “We'll get all three kinds,’ said Mr. Jarr. ? “Aw Chee!” exclaimed Master Sla- vinsky. “Tops is soon over.” “Going out of season, too? askc4 Mr. Jarr, “Well, young man, what is in season.” “Why, baseball,” was the quick re- ply. “Say, Mr. Jarr, git Willie a catcher’s glove, a dollar and a half catcher’s glove, and he'll be elected captain of the Snyder’s Lot Cubs.” “Wearing the real catcher’s glove makes the captain, then?” asked Mr. Jarr, as, with Master Izzy and Master Bepler they proceeded to the place where baseball treasures are sold. “Oh, I'm catcher, I'll wear the glove,” replied Master Slavinsky, with naive frankness. “But whoever gets the glove will be captain.” “And manage the team?” asked Mr. Jarr. “No, I'm the manager,” sald.
