It was what the minority expected, but it was their program to give the Pro- gressive majority a chance to go on record as opposed to all the suggestions made by Secretary of State Bryan and to the advice of President Wilson. In the afternoon the majority had rejected the Curtin resolution which embodied the principal suggestion made an amendment embodying another of Secretary Bryan’s recommendations, namely, the Illinois law, which applies alike to all aliens, regardless of their eligibility to citizenship, and permits ownership for six years. “You have repudiated President Wilk in favor of his amendment.

This attitude found its expression in a resolution offered by Senator Curtin and defeated by a vote of 10 ayes to 26 noes. The administration majority for the bill lacked one of being solid. In opposition were eight out of ten Demo- crats, one Progressive and Senator Wright of San Diego, the only Taft Re- publican in the chamber. Senator Curtin’s resolution proposed that: “The people of the State of California defer to the wishes of the President of the United States and this Legislature will not at this session pass the bills advised against.” The condition was included that it be understood that the people of the State desired substantia:ly the ends sought in the administration measure, and “that the President of the United States be re- quested to endeavor to secure such treaty or other agreement from any na- tion protesting against the passage of the bills under consideration as wil! effectually accomplish the end and pur- pose herein mentioned. “And further, that if at any time the Basis of the Opposition.

While the Senate restaurant was “reorgan- ized”’ along Democratic economy lines and the prices of many of the viands materially reduced, the price of pie per cut remains at 10 cents. “It’s the most important article of food we have,”’ declared a New England Senator, “and one that inspires good legislation. It’s an outrage. The price must come down.” The management of the restaurant recently was changed. The feeding problem in the Senate for years has been bothersome, but never before has disruption been threatened over the problem of ple prices. — 1 You'll Enjoy Bergmann’s Fresh Eggs Petition for Woman Judge.

Such a contrivance would cost but $1 for each auto, and it could be covered with a glass case, to be broken in case of emergency. The suggestion is the outgrowth of the accident in which Isa- dora Duncan’s two children were drowned in the River Seine.

PARIS, May 2.—A man who aroused suspicion because of his lavish expendi- tures in a Mont Martre night cafe was arrested and the police say the anthrop- ometric records show he is Christopher Clementi, a proprietor of a hotel in Boston, Mass.

One of these letters, addressed to Miss Annie Kenney, one of the prisoners, stated in expressing regret in the delay of delivering a certain chemical prepara- tion, “‘the proportions are hard to get.” It added: ‘‘Please burn this.”’ Another letter signed in the name of Clayton put forth a plan for a wide- spread scheme of false alarms, and u third listed seven timber yards in Lon- don which “‘lend themselves particularly well to attack.” The chief officers of the National Health Insurance Commission were also Suggested for sacrifice and regarding a list of cotton manufacturers’ ware- houses in London, the communication said: “I will inspect during the next few days and report.” “There is a tremendous store of paper and stationery there,”” commented this communication, anent the offices of the Health Commission.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 3.—Prof. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller In- stitute for Medical Research, made pub- lic today, in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, the organ of the institution, the results of the use of his serum in 1294 cases of epidemic cerebro spinal meningitis, covering the entire period of the administration of the serum, from its discovery in 1906, to date. This is, he says, the final report on the subject, inasmuch as the institute no longer prepares the serum and is collecting no more hjstories of cases treated with it. The total results as to the 1234 cases enalyzed he summarizes as follows: Recovered, 894; died, 400; per cent died 30.9. America and Europe. According to Dr. Flexner’s figures, the mortality in the cisease in its epl- demic form, when not subjected to se- rum treatment, was 73 per cent in Greater New York and 69 per cent in Boston, varying in other places in the United States from 70 to 90 per cent. In Europe the mortality in epidemic meningitis, he adds, has varied when the serum was not used, from 56.6 per cent in Italy to 67 per cent in Germany, and 80 per cent at Edinburgh, Scotland. Texas and Louisiana, In the 1911-12 Texas epidemic the .nor- tality in the serum treated cases was only 24 to 27 per cent. In the 1912 Shreveport, La., epidemic 30.1 per cent recovered under serum treatment, and 8 per cent of the non-serum cases died, and at Shreveport the mortality among negroes not g:ven serum was 91.5. The serum was most effective in sav- ing life when injected before the third day of the illness, and it was least ef- fective, in general, on infants under 1 year, and saved the most lives when ap- plied to children between 5 and 10 years of age. Tests all indicated that human resistance to epidemic meningitis is greatest in those between 5 and 6 years.

Bixby, the Long Beach | millionaire, when he was arraigned ‘today on two indictments charging connection with the delin- | quency of two minor girls. The in- 'dictments were returned last night iby the county grand jury after a | week of inquiry into allegations that |wealthy men had an organized sys- item of ensnaring young women for limmoral purposes. Two other indictments were re- turned at the same time against Mrs. Josie Rosenberg, who was already in jail in default of $15,000 bail. Mrs. Rosenberg, as keeper of the Jonquil, the resort at which it is alleged Bix- by was known as “The Black Pearl,” is. charged with having been chief procurer for the wealthy patrons of her place. Shortly before Bixby was. ar- raigned, Kitty Phillips, the youthful motion picture actress whose charges started the sensational investigation, was taken to the Central Police Sta- tion by Detective Ervin, who had brought her from San Francisco to testify before the grand jury, which will resume its inquiry Monday. Miss Phillips was questioned close- ly by Chief of Police Sebastian. He wanted to know’ why she _ pleaded guilty to a vagrancy charge and then vanished, after the blackmailing charge preferred by Bixby had been dropped and she:-had nothing to fear. She replied that her attorneys had advised her to do so, saying if she did she would be given a suspended sentence conditicned on her leaving the city, while if she remained, cer- tain wealthy me: interested in the suppression of all information would see that she was severely punished. She declared further that when she is summoned to testify before th2 grand jury she will add details still more sensational to the stories ai- ready told as to systematic pursuit of young girls by men of wealth and prominence. Bixby was taken to the home of a fraternal organization, where Judge McCormick, presiding Judge of the Superior Court, was in waiting. Tne two bonds of $5000 each were ap- preved there and Bixby returned ta his home in Long Beach, SOUGHT FATAL OPERATION John W. Wayman, Doctor Says Asked Him to End His Life.

The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills Co., now at 612 South Seventh street, has planned the erection cf a $300,000 fac- tory at the southeast corner of Broad- way and North Market streets. actory will employ between. 250 and 200 persons, according to the statement of Manager Holliday to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday. In order to provide for the company, the House of Delegates has passed a bill authorizing the Mer- chants’ Bridge Terminal Railway (Ter- minal Asscciation) to build a spur track at Second and North Market streets. The property from Second street to Broadway, with a frontage of 300 feet on North Market street and 120 feet on Broadway, is owned by the Schroder estate. “We have an option on the property,” said Manager Holliday. “The ordinance adopted by the House of Delegates merely legalwes the use of a spur track of the Merchants’ Terminal Railway at Second ana North Market Streets. The track, it seems, was con- structed some time ago on a permit | from the Mayor or Board of Public Im- provements, and our lawyers thought it advisable to have an ordinance passed in order to remove all doubt as to the right of any railroad to use it. No new switch of any kind is provided in the ordinance. If it is finally passed by the Municipal Assembly and approved by the Mayor, we will begin building the factory at once.” FAMOUS CHICAGO THEATER TO RING FINAL CURTAIN erminal facilities ~—- ueremony to Mark Closing of Playhouse Which a Skyscraper Will Displace.

The 4WOMENTELL HOW HOSTESS WAS KILLED AT TABLE Guests of Mrs. Emma Hoehn Are Witnesses at Coroner’s Inquest as to Death. The story of how Frederick Hoehn shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Emma Hoehn, in her home at 1432 North Jefferson avenue Friday noon after he had failed to effect a reconcilia- tion with her, was told to a Coroner's jury Saturday morning in detail by four women who witnessed the trag- edy. Hoehn sat impassive within five feet of the witness chair. Only once or twice did he show any signs of emotion. When he was asked to testify in his own behalf ‘he said that he preferred to make no state- ment. The only information he gave concerning himself was that he is a painter and -paper hanger and that he had been living at 1027 North Lef- fingwell avenue. Mrs. Ida Mahoney of 1408 Elliot ave- nue, daughter of the murdered woman, became hysterical while she was on the witness stand. She was led weeping from the room moaning “My poor mother.”’ Mrs. Hoehn Was Hostess. When the shooting occurred Mrs. Hoehn was giving a dinner party. Those present were Mrs. Clara Sumption, © years old, who lived with Mrs. Hoehn; Mrs. Mary Osthoff, 4629 Evans avenue; Miss Levina Fredrickson, 3749 Salena street, and Mrs. Ida Mahoney, daughter of Mrs. Hoehn. The Hoehns had been separated about six months, during which time Hoehn had made several efforts to reconcile his wife. Mrs. Hoehn had repeatedly repulsed all attempts of her husband for peace. Hoehn’s drinking is satd_ to caused the separation. Shortly before noon Mrs. Hoehn re- ceived a telephone call from her hus- band, according to the testimony. He told her that he had $40 that he wished to give to her. She told him that she did not believe him and hung up the receiver, it was said. Sheriff Tells of Arrest. Ben Rubins, a Deputy Sheriff, who captured Hoehn after the shooting, was the first witness. “I was going by the place on a street car when I saw a man run down the street with a revolver in his hand,” Rubins told the jury. “I jumped off the car and chased him a block when he darted into a cellar at 2631 Dickson street. I went in the cellar and asked \him what he had done. ‘I killed my wife; she was no good,’ he said. Then he added ‘let’s go out and get a drink of soda.’ “I took the man to the Dayton street station and turned him over to the police. He had been drinking. but he was not drunk.” Miss Levina Frederickson said she reached the Hoehn home just as Mrs. Hoehn hung up the telephone _ re- ceiver after talking with her hus- band. He Came as Dinner Began, “Mrs. Hoehn told me that she had just talked with her husband and that he wanted to make up. She said he told her he had about $40 which he wanted to give her. Then we all sat down to the table and Hoehn walked in. Mrs. Hoehn asked him what he wanted. He said that he wanted to talk with her. She made a motion with her hand wav- ing him away and said: ‘I want nothing to do with you.’ “‘Hoehn drew a big revolver out of his pocket and began to shoot.

Hoehn then turned and waiked out of the house as though nothing had happened. *“T ran to the door and yelled at some men in a bottling works to stop Hoehn, telling them that he had shot his wife. These men threw soda bottles and bricks at Hoehn, and the last time I saw him he was running down the street.” Women’s Accounts Agree, The testimony of Mrs. Sumption, Mrs. Mahoney and Mrs. Osthoff was practi- cally a repetition of what Miss Fred- rickson said, Mrs. Sumption said that the first two shots were fired over her shoulder, A physician’s diagram presented tzu the jury showed that all of the bullets had struck Mrs. Hoehn. Three bullets plerced her abdomen and one struc« ner in the left breast, passing through the heart. The revolver used by Hoehn he took from the saloon of his brotner, John Hoehn, at Lucas and Jefferson avenues, a few minutes before thw murder. Hoehn was held to the grand jury on a charge of homicide. BULLET PROOF JACKETS FOR CHICAGO POLICEMEN have Assistant Chief Schuettler Orders Vest to Fool Prospec- tive Assassins.

Thus and in other ways his character is - transformed and en- nobled, the spirit of altruism and a genuine affection for the rude folk whom he benefited taking the place of his previous purpose to make’ his own pleasure the supreme end in life. Among the agents in this transformation, the steps of which are traced in detail in a sane and rational way, are the parish priest, a hermit and a peasant boy whom he had learned to love and whose life was saved in the fight against chol- era. It need hardly be added that through reunuciation of his early re- solve its end was finally and most sat- isfactorily attained. The hero of this story is brought in the successive stages of experience into contact with a great variety of people in every stratum of society, from high- est to lowest. Like any well-drawn transcript of human life, the story has a moral—more than one, indeed. Most in- teresting and important of all, possibly, is the suggestion of the possibilities latent in humanity, even in those whe seem most depraved and hopeless. Wut the book is very far removed from being preachy or goody-goody. It is in many ways a remarkable work. (Scribner.) a John Northern Hilliard transport their readers, together, with their hero and heroine, swiftly and breath- lessly, from a fashionable New York hotel, the epitome of modern civilization, to Persia, with its splendor and squalor, its contrast of the Orient. The hero, a civil engineer and a “skir- misher ahead of the railroads,”’ falls in love with a. stenographer in the New York hotel, a girl whose dreams are as full of color as her own life is of dull gray. For the sake of adventure she marries him and helps him play the game of clipping “The Bear’s Claws’’— that is, defeating Russia’s plans for a trans-Persian railroad and carrying through those of the American syndicate which the engineer represents. There is no attempt at character de- velopmené, no emotional crisis, no prob- lem, simply a series of pictures of places and people in all the brilliant colors of the Orient, woven by incidents in the chase for Savidge’s valuable papers.

The dis- covery is a great shock to her, but, on the advice of a charming old priest, she resolves to make the best of a bad sit- uation and to try to bring order out of chaos by applying intelligent methods to the estate’s affairs.

&: cil = ame Randall and his associates on ST ‘LOUIS POST.DISPATCE. —— SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1913. ST. LOUIS POST.DISPATCH. TO BRIDGE URGED Recommendation by Ways and Means Committee to Council _— by eo Player Wants 3c for City = penses; Free Bridge Proposal Would Make Boost 1.3c. In order to construct the wagon ap- proaches to the free bridge, the St. Loyis tax rate will be boosted 10 cents on the $100 valuation, if the City Coun- follows the recommendation of the Ways and Means Committee of that body. The proposed action is in direst defiance of Player's warning that a rauical boost of the tax rate will result in the cer- tain defeat of the $3,500,000 bond issue af ~ = the Council _ for the completion of the bridge. It is intended to hold the special bond election in the last week of July or the early part of August. At the meeting of the Municipal Bridge Joint Conference Committee, Thursday, Comptroller Player objected vigorously to the proposed tax increase and suggested that it shoul-l be deferred at least until after the special bridge bond election. “ Upposes Snap Judgment. “If the people have confidence in Dever Kiel’s administration, and I am re they have,’’ said the Comptroller, “they will not hesitate to vote for the bonds. No test has been made, how- ever, as to how the people feel on this subject at this time. If snap judgment i¢ taken on the taxpayers, I believe it will be resented by an absolute defeat ‘of the bridge bonds.” Councilman Randall said there had been too much delay already on the bridge plans, and he favored immediate action on the tax proposition. Comptroller: Player has recommended a tax rate increase of 3 cents on the © $100 valuation to cover the general muni- za _penditure for the ~ $10,000, cipal expenditures, a bill for which is now under consideration by the Coun- cil Ways and Means Committee. With the additional 10 cents proposed by Chairman Randall for bridge purposes the total tax raise would be 13 cents. Appropriation Bill. The general appropriation bill cover- ing street improvements, parks, play- grounds and salaries of all city em- ployes, reported by the Ways and Means Committee, at Friday’s session of the Souncil, shows an estimated total ex- next fiscal year of approximately $10,140,000. The appropriation for the Public Serv- ice Commission is cut from $25,000 to Chairman Randall explaining that this sum will be sufficient to com- plete the pending investigation of the Bell and Kinloch telephone companies and the waterworks plant. The budget for public improvements » amounts to $6,000,000. The aggregate es- ' timate by the various department hea’ for all purposes exceeded sis 60.00! which was reduced by the Comptroller to prevent a larger tax raie.

May 3.—A sensation was caused today by the sudden break- ing off of the projected marriage of Princess Indira, only daughter of the reigning Gaekwar of Baroda, to Prince Jitendra, son of the Maharajah of Cooch Behar. The wedding was ,to have taken place in Calcutta Monday next. The Princess announced her decision last evening and sailed this morning for England. Elaborate preparations had been made in which descendants of the twoemost prominent native rulers in India were to have been united. The reason for the step taken by the Prin- cess has not been divulged, but it is understood that it is probably a ques- tion of caste. Such an occurrence is almost unique among the ruling families of India, and it is said to be traceable to the Princess’ unusual intimacy with English and American customs and life. ' The Maharani of Baroda, her moth- er, is the author of “The Position of. Women in Indian Life,” and has ad- vanced ideas on the subject. Marriages, Births and Deaths.

Enough names are being sent to the Post- Dispatch for them to name all the ostriches in the world and have a few left over for the next crop of little ostriches. The nameless condition of the two birds seems to have excited general cvmmiseration and many are lying awake nights trying to think of names that will satisfy the ostriches and comply with the eternal fitness of things to such an extent as to win the $25 which has been offered by Jacob E. Hellrung, donor of one of the birds, for the best names for the pair. Here are some of the suggestions received Saturday: £ suggest that the ostriches be named Louis and Louisa, in compli- ment of their adopted home. Pepperell, Mass. LOUIS PECK. My selection of names for the ostriches is George and Martha Washington, for our first President and wife. HELEN TOLSON, 809 Clarendon avenue, St. Louis. ‘I would suggest Mr. and Mrs. Won- derful Willow or Handsome Willow as a very good name for these birds, be- cause we get our wonderful, handsome willow plumes from the ostrich. ' J. E. LINDBERG, 1520A North Taylor avenue, St. Louis. I suggest that the ostriches be named Mr. Huff and Mrs. Huffy. ELIZABETH BIESER, 2510 North Eleventh street. Since the ostriches are satisfied with their family -name, just: call them Mr. Hellrung Ostrich and Mrs. Matthews Ostrich. MINNIE GRIFFIN, 1323 St. Clair avenue, E. St. Louis. I think two good names for the birds would be Caruso and Mary Garden. These names are easy to remember and would meke a hit for the birds. IRENE STADELMAN, 2846 South Eighteenth street, St. Louis. I would suggest Billy B. and Champ C. MRS. E. A. BASS, Steelville, Mo. As easily remembered, short and at- tractive names for the ostriches 1 sug- gest Pat and Patsy, or Ted and Teddy. JULIA F. FORDTRAN, 6044 Cates avenue, St. Louis. I suggest the names Peace and War for the ostriches. MRS. A. COLEMAN, 2948 Dayton street, St. Louis. I think it would be very appropriate to name the ostriches Prince and Princess, because they are names of the highest rank. MRS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 3.—Jesse M. Short, mining man of Joplin, Mo., was shot three times yesterday by a robber who held up a Kansas City Southern passenger train here, was in a favorable condition today, accord- ing to the statement of his physicians. His sturdy physique, strengthened by labor in the mines, has saved Short’s life, the doctors say. One of the bul- lets fired by the robber after he had taken Short’s purse containing $1000 in currency grazed the left lung. Police continued the search for the robber who also was severely wounded in the duel with Short. The discarded empty pursegof Short’s, found in an onion patch, several hundred yards from the spot where the robber leaped from the moving train, formed the only definite clew the polico had to follow.

MANHATTAN, Kan., May 3.—That it costs a farmer 25 cents a pound to put fat on cattle and this fat sells for about one-third of this amounty was asserted by Henry J. Waters, presi- dent of the Kansas Agricultural College in an address at a meeting of cattlemen here. “All the fat a butcher cannot dispose of to housewives,’ Waters said, “he sells as raw tallow for about 5 cents a pound. Thus fat-making on the farm, which takes the farmer's best products —~corn and alfalfa--is an expensive and losing business. ‘It is the lean meat we are striving for. Only as much fat should be with the meat as is necessary to give juici- ness flavor and tenderness. Any fat in excess of this is a waste of the feed required to produce it.” COTTON WORM IS FEARED WASHINGTON, May 3.—The Depart- ment of Agriculture is alarmed over a threatened invasion of these shores by the ‘‘pink boll worm.” This dangerous enemy of cotton may be introduced into the United States at any time in cotton seed shipments from Egypt, India and other cotton-produc- ing areas, where it is widely distrib- uted.

The work of framing the Charter is public Pusiness, The Board of Freeholders occupie the same position with regard to the municipality as a constitutional convention holds to the State. It is a law-making body. Its deliberations should be public. Suspicien of improper motives and in- fluences in framing the Charter should be careful- lv avoided.

Testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission by President Mellen of the New Haven shows that contributions of $102,000 to /Republican campaign funds in 1904 were ingen- “ fjously concealed in transactions surrounding a sale of the road’s treasury stock. Of the $102,- 000, $50,000 was for Mr. Roosevelt's benefit. Data obtained in the Armstrong investigation in New York and in Congressional investigations had. previously furnished answers in part to the 10 questions repeatedly asked by the Post-Dispatch since 1904. It had been shown that the Rail- road Trust had given $500,000 to Mr. Roosevelt, of which Harriman was credited with $150,000, Gould with $100,000, Depew with $100,000 and “others” with $150,000. Mr. Mellen’sestatement makes definite the source of $50,000 more and reduces the anonymous contributions from rail- roads to $100,000. Of the $2,285,000 in the Roosevelt fund of that year, $1,085,000 has been traced to trust contributions. Probably many further sums in the $1,200,000 remainder will be traced to the The huge donations from the Steel Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Harvester Trust and other monopoly combines are generally thought to explain Mr. Roosevelt’s sympathetic attitude toward them while in office.

State attestation to the competency of news- paper workers, often playfully suggested, becomes a practical question with Lieutenant-Governor O’Hara’s proposal at Springfield that a license bill shall be passed. The State now assumes responsibility for the personal qualifications of physicians, lawyers, “pharmacists, nurses, embalmers, veterinarians, ~barbers and others. The argument by analogy runs smoothly to newspaper men. Certainly the importance of their work is on a plane with that of these others. Why not, as Mr. O’Hara, former Chicago newspaper man, suggests, have a state board to examine and license members of the press and protect the public from irresponsible ‘and incompetent persons who assume to discharge press functions? That the press has remained unregulated is not dus to any failure to appreciate its importance. It is due to theories deliberately adopted respect- —— ing the press that differ from those affecting |. workers in other professions. Regulation would have benefits. So would a censorship, But a long time ago English-speaking peoples settled down. to the principle that no evils of an unregulated, uncensored press “an be as great as those of a regulated and censored mress. “The right of free speech means the right to @apress whatever one wishes, either orally or in print. Any man with a cause to advocate or in- formation to give tue public can print it in a paper of his own or any other peper he can get to print it without reference to State examining boards or framed or unframed license certifi- cates, And what applies to the citizen applies to those who make it their profession to advocate causes and give the public information. The right defined by the few words of the Mis- souri Constitution as the “right to speak and pub- lish what he sees fit, being responsible to the law only for abuse of the privilege,” does not in- * sure the possession of a “nose for news” or the use of faultless English.

If Counselor Baird shall decide that the city has a legal right to repeal the loop franchise of ithe Southern Traction Co. there would be justi- fication for the Mayor’s submitting the question of its repeal to the voters. The principle of the franchise referendum is that the peopje should decide the policy of the city with regard to fran- chise grants and should pass upon specific grants. The voters are competent to decide the ques- tions of moral obligation, municipal good faith and public welfare involved in repeal. But we should keep in mind that the Southern Traction loop franchise no longer affects the bridge. We can vote bonds and proceed with the completion of the bridge with a certainty that no matter how the loop problem is decided the bridge will be un- hampered. It would. be advisable, however, for the Mu- nicipal Assembly to ameni the franchise ordi- nance in the matter of duration before submitting The franchise should be submitted in improved form. selor concerning the legal complications of the Reber approach, the Mayor can never justify his submitting the question of locating the eastern approach to a popular vote. Not one voter in 500 is competent to determine the best location or mode of constyucting the bridge approach, These are engineering questions requiring for their solution specific expert knowledge and skill. It is beyond the power of the great majority of voters to inform themselves thoroughly and -to formulate a practical plan concerning them. We should do with the eastern approach prob- lem what every city, every county, every cor- poration does with regard to bridge building— leave the details of construction to the experts chosen for that purpose. We have elected of- ficials to do this work. The majority of the people chose the men in whose competence they had confidence. It would be cowardly, weak evasion for the city authorities to shift the bridge approach problem to a vote of the people merely because there are differences of opinion on the subject. It would be the height of folly. Suspicions of the Kreismann administration that may have been in the minds of some voters are not inherited by the Kiel administration. There is no reason to believe that a conclusion reached by the present administration, even if it coincided with that of the former administration, would not be honest and judicious. Let us exercise sane and sound judgment in the bridge problem. Let us entrust the completion of the bridgé to the men who have been commis- sioned to do the work. But they should deal frankly with the people. (== = a How d’y do, China!

On Monday, May 5, St. Louis people will have an opportunity to start a miracle ruch as was not performed in days of old. It will be “Red Rib- bon Day,” the day when a mass of old papers, given by charitable persons all over the city, be- gin the process of being converted into milk, eggs, medicines and other necessaries for the sufferers ifrom the White Plague. Last year, the St. Louis Society for the Relief and Prevention of Tuberculosis -vas able, from the tons of papers given it by St. Louis people on “Red Ribbon Day,’ to supply $458.34 worth of milk, $173.13 worth of eggs, and medicines, ambu- lance service, awnings and other comforts to the 519 patients under its care, the total amounting to $664.92.

But can he leave anybody in charge at Mexico City who will not be as loyal to him as he was to Madero? = SS re A GOOD WORD FOR OLD EARTH. Brother Carnegie rises to remark that he doesn’t want to die and go to heaven. “A ticket to heaven from anybody does not appeal to me,” says he. All he wants is a good, long — privilege here on Earth, This is a flattering tribute to old Barth. It. should be the more appreciated because of its unusualness. How very rarely does anybody say a good word for our local planet. The occa- sional mortal who is so far carried away by his own cheerfulness as to declare that this world is good enough for him is looked at askance by good people on all sides. It amounts to an ad- mission that life is worth living, and this is re- garded as an evidence of impiety. Nobody but an abandoned soul could be guilty of such senti- ments. To be content with earthly life on its own account is almost unthinkable! It is to be called materialistic as opposed to spiritual. Yet we believe one might be of the earth and fond of it without being utterly earthy. It requires the soul of a poet to see this footstool at its best. Most people, dissatisfied with this temporary abode and contemptuous when they are not heed- less of its advantages for residence purposes, spend their lives either in going to heaven or in going to that other place. Without disparaging either place or drawing any invidious compari- sons, still it may be pointed out that old Barth is quite well worth a sojourn, not merely as a way station for unworldly tourists, or a jumping- off place for the reckless and unregenerate, but on its own account. , Perceiving its decided advantages and great attractions, especially at this season when nature colors old Earth with brilliance and charm; per- tojceiving how the sun floods mere mundane gar- dens with heavenly light and warms the flowers to beauty; perceiving how the breezes are laden with fragrance, and the air. is filled with bird- songs, it is no wonder that joyous hearts mistake this blooming planet for true Paradise. Frankly, we are not surprised, but we are delighted, we are proud, when a snmiart man like Brother Carnegie declares his intention of making it his perma- nent residence—or as permanent as possible. Should we not all make the most and the best of life on Earth while it lasts—leaving it even better worth while for those who are to follow?

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I heartily agree with “Hcnic Gib” that the walk to-the museum is enjoyable, 1. e, at the present time; but how about during the winter or rainy weather? On more than one occasion have I seen several hundred people wait for the rain to cease of the weather to partly clear up before venturing.to the car, when rain or a storm had blown up suddenly. How often would we like to visit one of the various special exhibitions | to spend an occasional hour in the galleries of the museum; but decide not to go because of threatening weather, or lack of time to waste three-quarters of an jhour in walking back and forth. The City Art Museum is supported by the peo- ple and for all the people. So why not make it convenient and accessible not only to the automo- bile public, but also the 5-cent public, as all have equal rights—either by special transfer or by a city-owned car as the present agitators are at- tempting?

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the “Letters From the People” column of your paper of April 29 I noticed where a gentle- man was very much “put out” over the way the Zoological Society had Miss Kelly of the Follies company name the two mandril monkeys. In my opinion it was one of the best advertisements that the Zoological Society could have, and I can- not see where it hurt the dignity of the society in any way. I take it that the gentleman who wrote this lgtter is one of St. Louis’ many “kickers” and one who has no “boost” but all “kick” in him. TRAVELING MAN. Rostoffice Holidays. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will someone Kindly advise me by what. au- thority the Postmaster In a city orders a holiday for the postoffice, and thereby,ties up all the incoming mail, to the detriment’ of business in- terests? “I am the last one in the world to wish to deprive anyone of a holiday. I am a business woman, and anxious that justice be done to the workman and women employed. When a holiday is national, people are prepared for it, and mail is sent accordingly, but it caused considerable in- convenience to many firms yesterday, when ad- vice was given out that there would be no furthet mail, after the early morning delivery. Further- more, it incurred extre, expense in factories, in handling mail orders on which instructions for changes, etc., would have reached here yesterday afternoon, delayed moneys, etc. It seems to me be an outrage upon the busi- ness interests and progress of a city for a local official to deprive us of postal facilities for a sim- ple local celebration.

Harris with his friendly little hammer to attack a big St. Louisan—Colin M. Selph.

Where are they? There are few men in St. Louis who have done more for Democracy and for the public at large than! Colin M. Selph. In every civic movement, enterprise, in every legitimate scheme to adver- tise St. Louis Colin M. Selph has been found in the van, with no monetary compensation and no hope of material reward. His early associations with the business office of the great Post-Dis- patch, his editorship of the World’s Fair Bul- letin, his unselfish work in the adjustment of the Olive Street Bank, his presidency of the St. Louis Democratic Club and his untiring efforts in building up the Million Population Club, of which he is now the head, are only a few of the activi- ties that entitle him to distinction amongst his fellow citizens. All of Mr. Selph’s preferments have been of the “thank you” and the “good fellow” order. He has been loaded down with honors that are empty and positions that ,fail to keep the wolf from the door. It is high time that a man of Mr. Selph’s stamp should be recognized by something more substantial than medals and testimonials, Senator Stone and Senator Reed are making no mistake in holding out for his appointment as Postmaster. Ninety per cent of the militant Democracy of St. Louls will” rejoice when Colin M. Selph finally comes into his own. JOS. F. WILBERT. 4314 Gibson avenue. in every progressive GERMANY REVIVES THE MONITOR TYPE. From the Charleston News and Courier. Germany, the land in which pure science has attained its highest development, has not greatly excelled in those branches of applied science which go to the making of warships. The ships of her fleet are not better, though they are prob- ably in no wise poorer, than those of the other first-class Powers. That this condition of affairs may not exist much longer is indicated in the account published by an English engineering journal of a new type of war craft which, if it is all that it is said to be, will be able to van- quish the most powerful dreadnaught ever puilt. The new type lies low in the water, so low that it makes a target very difficult to hit. Despite its low freeboard, it is said to be very seaworthy and able to maneuver and to fight In all weathers. It fights its enemy end on. At the bow is a shield sloping backward and made of armor go heavy as to be virtually impenetrable. Behind the shield is a single gun, far heavier than those now mount- ed by the greatest of modern dreadnaughts, using projectiles that play the part of torpedoes and, except at the moment of firing, remaining per- fectly screened from the fire of the opposing ship or ships. Naval men in general will be slow to believe that such a type of vessel has been perfected. It seems to embody the principal features of the monitor, and it {ts hardly credible that the Ger- man engineers have been able to eliminate the handicaps of unseaworthiness and slowness which have consigned the monitor type to the scrap heap. Low freeboard renders a vessel digacult to hit, but its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages. If German constructors have suc- ceeded in getting rid of these disadvantages they havé done a thing which has defied the ingenuity of the shipbuilders of all other nations ana have rendered obsolete whole fleets of giant pattle- ships which have cost hundreds of mijiions to construct.

Prof. Gerard’ Fowke, who has just the Missouri Historical Society in the new Jefferson Memorial, went to Springfield Thursday to speak before the bill which proposes to make a State park of the Cahokia mounds, “Professor,” said a member of the House from Chicago, ‘‘there is a bill before this committee from southern I!- linois asking an appropriation of $250,000 for an industrial home for delinquent boys. Which would be better, to buy this sand hill you are talking about, or build that home for delinquent boys?” “Can't the State of Illinois take care great monument like the Cahokia Mound?’ the professor asked. “That isn’t answering my question,” “Which would be better, to lose the mound or the boys?” The professor regarded his questioner quizzically. *You could get plenty of delitiquent boys, if you did lose them; but you couldn’t replace tha Cahokia Mound if you lost it,” he safd. A roar of laughter greeted the scien- tist’s wit, and he wasn't much bothered during the rest of his talk. ‘“‘Have you ever ridden on one of these Illinois interurban lines?” “Once.” “Did you stop at every coal mine on the right-of-way?” “©, I don’t mind that.

The dazzling sum of $180,000,000 is to be spent by Paris in the interest of civic improvement. Paris, already famous for its magnificent boulevards and its well- planned and well-kept parks, is to begin a scheme of improvement that would have staggered Baron Haussman. By a vote of 67 to 8 the Municipal Council has decided to acquire for the Government the old fortifications and the adjacent military zone. The fortifi- cations are to be razed, new parks and boulevards and an ornamental circle around the city are to be made and a portion of the land is to be sold under restrictions for building purposes. This is part of a beautification scheme for the execution of which the city has bor- rowed $180,000,000. It is worthy of note that the improvements include provision for housing the poor more comfortably, if less picturesquely from the point of view of the tourist who likes to pokes about the byways of Paris. There is also included a water wall to prevent the Seine from overflowing the section of the city that was damaged by the fiood a few vears ago. City building was never so competitive as it is in the twentieth century, when means of transportation and communi- cation are so improved that every one either sees or hears about what his neighbor on the other side of the ocean, or the other side.of the world, is doing. GARDEN CITY FOR LUNATICS, From the New York Weekly. At Bedburg, in Germany, a.garden city for over 2000 lunatics has been es- tablished. German doctors have recog- nized that the method of keeping luna- tics in asylums is a mistake. The best way to cure them, they say, is to give them as much freedom and open air as possible. The garden city of Bedburg consists of 36 large houses, ea¢h capable of accommodating 80 to 100 patients. A large farm has been established and stocked with cattle and horses. Every- thing that is necessary for a small town, in fact, is to be found in the newest of garden cities. It has even a theater. The lunatics are free to walk about and to amuse themselves as they like. They willingly work on the farm, and the women cook as eagerly and cheerfully for the others as though they were living in their own homes, free from insanity. The total cost of this Ideal asylum was $2,000,000. Best Ever Ambassador, From the Philadelphia Ledger.

As to the motive for his death, it was as romantic as his heart desired. He VAored “La Belle Lucrece,” the fasci- iy > background the artiste had a hus- b.

How nearly {tt has been said, one-half of the world goes not know how the other half loves! But such incongrulties would distress Tournioquot no more—today he was to die; he had worn his chess-board trou- gers and his Uttle green coat for the last time; for the Mast time had the re- lentless virtue of Lucrece driven him to despair. When he was discovered [{nani- mate, hanging toa beam, nothing com- lc about him, perhaps the world would admit that his sou! had been solemn, though his “line of business’’ had been funny; perhaps Lucrece would even crop warm tears upon his tomb!

The white giare of electric globes began to flood the boulevards, «nd before the cafes. waiters bustled among the tables, bear- ing the vermouth and absinthe of the hour. Instinctively shunning the more frequented thoroughfares, Tournicquot wandered, plunged in reverip, until he perceived that he had reached a neigh- borhood which was unknown to him— ng snake charmer, and somewnere, }that he stood at the corner of a street which bore the name ‘‘Rue Sombre.” Opposite, one of the house was being re- built, and as he gazed at it—this skele- ton of a home in which the workmen’s hammers were silenced for the night— Yournicquot recognized that his journey was at &n end. Here, he could not coubt that he would find the last grim hospitality that he sought. The house rad no door to bar his entrance, but—as if in omen—above the gap where a door had been, the sinister number ‘13’’ was still to be discerned. He cast a glance over his shoulder, and, grasping the icope with a firm hand, crept inside. It was dark within, so dark that at first he could discern nothing but the gleam of bare walis. He stole along the rassage, and, mounting a flight of steps on which his feet sprung mournful echoes, proceeded stealthily toward an apartment on the first floor. At this point the darkness hecame impenetra- Lle, for the persicnnes had been closed. —-* ‘ >” ee Ti Fe mi A “tn eae ed 2 Pe : Vee ~*~ ’ .

They will clash with Johnny Evers’ league leaders Sun- day, and start immediately afterwards for Philadelphia, where, on Tuesday they open their first eastern series of the season against the Quakers. Huggins said today that he may send two or three of his twirlers straight through to Quakertown from here to- night, to have them in good condition and well rested by Tuesday. As there is only one game scheduled in Chicago he will not need them all. Harmon May Oppose Cubs. -Bob Harmon, who has been taking things easy this spring, may be used ‘tomorrow against the Cubs. ‘The Cardinal manager had hoped for four straight victories here when he learned that the Pirates would be without the services of Wagner, However, he is mot grieving over the defeat suffered on Friday... ._. “We've made a very good showing thus far on our trip,” said he, “even if we ohly get an even break against the Buc- caneers, undoubtedly one of the strongest combinations in the league. I can re- ™ember the time when they burned red _ fire in &t. Louls when the team won a single game from Pittsburg. But things are different now, and we will give the Pirates a lot more beating before the sea- son ends.” Griuer Easy for Pirates. Griner was hit freely on Friday, and, for the first time in the series, the breaks. went against the Cardinals. A lightning double play engineered by Butler’ ana ‘Miller in'the opening inning put a quicy stop to what looked like trouble for Pitts. burg. ee The game had opened exactly similarly te that of Thursday. Hendrix was wild and passed Huggins. Magee came through with a single, and a double steal was then pulled off, advancing the runners to third and second. Mowrey fiied out, and Koney walked. Thus far the game was almost Adentical to the first inning on Thursday. Then Sheckard singled, scoring Hug- gins. Oakes rapped sharply to Butler, Who mace 4 great stop, and doubled up - Geges and Sheckard, ending the inning and texting Hendrix out of a nasty hole. - --« Hendrix in Hot Water. 8 looked again in the sixth inning, ae ad Sheckard a Regular.

The Jack O’Connor Case. Besides these two open-faced attacks, the Federals see more trouble in being obliged to lose one of their managers while he attends court to fight for $5000, which he claims on an unexpired con- tract. Jack O’Connor of the local club must enter appearance May 12 In his suit for $5000 against Col. Hedges for the season of 1911. He was fired after the Lajoie batting episode, and while the sharps all agreed that O’Connor’s case never would be tried in court, the law being abhorrent to organized baseball, the Browns’ man- agement intends to resist O’Connor’s claim. This is the first legal battle waged in baseball since the war days of 1902, and inasmuch as it involves a Federal League manager and a major league owner, the former’s followers see a sin- ister motive. No War Moves by Federals. So far the Federals have made no inroads on organized baseball.

Shoeless Joe and Lazy Larry are clubbing the Naps into & firstdivision berth. And they are some clubbers. It was their batting that again aided the Sixth City aggregation most in snatching the third contest af the se- ries from the Browns. The score was 9 to 2, the going being made easy for Fred Blanding after the fourth when, four runs were piled uf, raising the Nap total to seven. Dwight Stone, Stovall’s tall right- bander, started heaving for the Browns It wasn't his foult that the opposition collected a pair of markers right off the reel. In fact errorg figured in the scor- ing of all but one of the Naps’ nine runs. Old Man Waltace. the usually reliable ‘at short, had an off day. He had a chance to retire the. side in the first without any runs counting while he also gummed a. possibile double play in the fourth, when the Napa collected four. Perfect playing would have Dianked the visitors. In the ninth with Roy | Mitchell on duty, Jim Austin’s two-base heave enabled the enemy to fatten its run total. bases, ! Clubs of Joe and Larry Again Create Trouble for Browns Brownies were stranded because the expected pinch hits were not forthcoming. Derrill Pratt finally broke his hitless streak. He came through with a pair of clean singles, but neither did any good. On the other hand, Pratt soaked into a pair of double plays, cutting short that many rallies early in the game. It was Pratt who probably saved the life of Blanding in the very first round. For starters, Shotton had strolled and Johnston and Williams followed with singles. That put a run over, left two, on bases and none out for Pratt. But he sloughed into a twin death. The game introduced Bill McAllester be- hind the bat for the first time this season. The Chattanooga citizen conducted himself in nice fashion after he relleved Sam Agnew. One stolen base is charged against him. It Was the result of a wretched decision by Um- pire Ferguson on the bases. McAllester’s throw to Wallace was perfect. Bob had the ball waiting for Chapman to come in, but to the surprise. cf everyone in the park, O’Loughlin’s running mate called him safe. Larry made his first error of the season Friday. He drew a black mark when he dropped a tall fly from the bat of Sam Agnew in the sixth. It did no damage.

W. U. TEAM IS WEAKENED FOR MEET WITH MINERS The Rolla Miners are expected to furnish a surprise for the Washington University track team in the dual meet at the W. U. stadium Saturday afternoon. The visitors are conceded a chance to win from the myrtle and maroon athletes becaus@ of the absence of Capt. Morrell and Gray. Gray is out of the meet because of a strained tendon, while Morrell! will be unable to compete because of a twisted ankle. Both were members of the relay team, while Gray was expected to win the 220- yard dash and Morrell was counted on far points in the mile and quarter-mile, Ww. U. will have a relay. It will be composed of Godwin, Stifel. Winfree and Maenner. The first event .will start at 2 o’clock.

Gregory in to meet De Orv hecause of fear of be-. ing beaten, but tecause the medal js his own and no longer subject to challenge. “Just to show that it is not my cham- pionship that I fear to lose,’’ says Hor- gan, “‘I will play De Oro for $190 a side and the championshiv, and reach an agreement with him as to the city where the matei shall be played. “But I won the Lambert trophy by cefending it the necessary year and I propose to Keep it. They'll have to sue and win their case before they ger it.’”’ In the meantime the Brunswick-Balke- Collender syndicate which controls pro- fessional billiard playing, will have to recover the Lambert trophy to keep the ball rolling, or else start a new tnurna- ment and put up $1000 for a new medal. _-+—_—- — q--—--- BENSON AND MAUPOME TO PLAY RETURN MATCH Frank Benson, one of the best of three-cushion billiard players, and Pierre Maupome, the Mexican ‘‘wonder.’’ who fell down in his final effort to land the Inter- city billiard title for St. Louis, have agreed to a return three-cushion billiard match, to begin next week probably Tuesday.

ARRY CHENEY, the Cubs’ one best bet pitcher, is trying to make an iron man of himself; which makes us long to pour into his ear the info that the usual fate of all iron men is the scrap heap. . * * Doing Three Men’s Work. HENEY'S tendency appears in the records which show he has already taken part in 10 games—more than twice as many as his nearest Nationa) ney, at this rate, will be minus an arm in two years: for he is not cast in the same physical mold as Ed Walsh or Walter Johnson. +. oe «+ All to Boost Evers. HENEY is being offered up as a sacrifice to the ambition of Leader Johnny Evers, who wants to get to the front and make a flash at the start, feaving the future to care for itself.

T’S a case which makes one think that Johnny McGraw was right when he slipped us\the tip that a good ball player was worth very nearly what salary he asked. * » A Horgan in the Wrong. GREGORY HORGAN, three-cush- e ion champion of the world, is mak- ing a mistake in holding to that Lambert trophy, in defiance of the ruling of the committee, which said that he must sur- render the emblem to Alfredo de Oro, whom he refuses to meet. The rules governing play for the trophy plainly show that Horgan is not yet entitled to permanent ownership of the handsome trinket—worth $1400—do- nated by Jordan Lambert of St. Louis, several years ago. * & * Why Omit Horgan? ACK of Horgan’s refusal to turn over the, emblem is, perhaps, a little visit Horgan paid to the powers in fcontrol of professional billiards, the B. B. C. Manufacturing Co., which pays salaries to men like dloppe, de Oro, Morningstar. Sutton, Demarest and oth- ers of lesser caliber, but does not keep the three cushion champion of the world on its books at regular rates. Can’t. See 3-Cushion Values. ORGAN wanted to know why he, who has been world’s pool and three-cushion champion in the past, and is present holder of the latter title, waz not placed on a par with the rest of the salaried men. He was told there Was no more space on the payrolls whereon to write his name. Perhaps this fact may partly explain why the B.-B. C. Co. will have to sue pfor the medal in order to turn it over to Alfredo de Oro. | * ww De Oro “Lost” a Medal. ee De Oro was in &@ mix-up over the pool championship emblem, in his time. He, like Horgan, was playing in an academy here, and did not want to interrupt his money making to practice for the pool title Hueston, the challenger, was awarded the emblem by default, and De Oro was ordered to turn it over. When the time came to deliver it, De Oro discovered that he had “lost” it. It cost the B.-B. C. Co. new one. $1100 for a Beats the Shell Game. ORGAN should worry! He's the 15 per cent guy in Eddie Graney’s billlard academy and is making between $100 and $250 each week, according to business. Horgan gets nearly one-sixth the commissions of the entire house.

Here then followed one of those clam- orous disputes the small boy, when he flocks together, is prone to! Suddenly, as is the way with these clanging, chattering quarrels, so char- acteristic of small boys and crows, silence like a poultice fell to heal the blows of sound. And Master Slavinsky handed the orange over to Master Bep- ler, remarking quietly: ‘There, take yer orange.” ‘“‘Ah, you didn’t suck it dry! Yer didn’t suck it dry!’’ cried Master Bepler. ‘J can’t git any juice out of it now, but it you kin do everything.” Master Slavinsky bore his defeat in the matter with fortitude, and (for the subject was now/dryer than the orange) the matter was about to be passed over for the dangerous sport of seeing who could step on a strap that trailed from ua passing express wagon, when the boy panderlog people had their attention dis- tracted from the passing pleasant pertl of the trailing strap by little Emma Jarr, who came running up with a skewer of wood sticking from between her lips. *“Oomp! cried.
