It was doubt-. less this statement which brought out the sulfragist attack from London. Mr. Carnegie said to Miss Martyn: “If I was not already as thorough- going an American as I could poseibty! be, this trip beyond the Alleghenies would have made me happier and »roui- er and stronger in my convictions.”’ “Ever since we went into the ining ear for breakfast this morning.” he continued, ‘‘Mrs. Carnegie and I have enj¢yed evéry moment of the journey watching from our windows the ceage- less panorama of peace and plenty spread out in pleasant farm lands. “These farms are all operated and eccupied by their owners, I presume. Think of the splendid demonstration of democracy! How much more beau- tiful this picture than any of the great European estates with their manor houses and rich absentee lan@lords. “These farmers—they are the salt of the earth. Their prosperity is the key- stone of the American nation. And I think I never saw the country look so fresh and bursting with promise as it does now.” 2 DEAD IN PISTOL DUEL Third Man Probably Fatally Wounded When Farmers Fight.

To be always first in its field would satisfy almost any newspaper, but to always distance all competition, as the POST-DISPATCH does day after day, is wit cae ed in any metropolitan city in the United, States. ‘ §t.

The defeat of the suffrage bill is-gen- erally attributed by the morning news- papers to the women, themselves—the militant ones, whose wild law-breaking tactics alienated the sympathies of suf- frage supporters. The Times says that the embarrass- ment that the militants have inflicted on the whole course of the debate on the eter believed to contain explosives was: bill. ! “There is not the slightest doubt that the 420 militants have defeated their own objects,’’ the paper continues. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Calis Militants’ Conduct Insane. LONDON, May 7.—Ada Ward, who placed the bomb in the Grand Hotel, is an habitual drunkard, according to the police. She denied having placed the bomb or having been in the street, but the Constable swears to her iden- tity. She has been remanded, the police hoping to get particulars from her of a plot of which she is believed to be the mere hireling. Since the Government began drastic measures to break up the militant suf- fragette organization, its members de- clare themselves absolved from their pledge to attack any property and feel at liberty to indulge in any reprisals. Unlike Mrs. Belmont, who panegyrized the militants, Ella Wheeler Wilcox de- clares: “Il am utterly disgusted with the perfectly insane conduct of the women over here. There is only one thing to do with them—to select a suit- able island to which to transport them. When they ‘hunger strike’ they should be allowed to starve, if they are so mad as to do it. The present line of the English movement is not progressive. and I’m very sorry they have my poem, ‘The Awakening,’ as their official song. Their conduct is a case of a‘ bull in a china shop and equally intellectual.” Peek-Thornburg Marriage Is to Be at & P.M. Today Continued From Page One.

At a meeting of 150 employes of the inaintenance department of the Bell Tel- ephone Co. Wednesday an ultimatum was prepared, in which the men de- mand that the company reinstate the % employes whose discharge on Monday precipitated a strike. According to an official of the Elec- trical Workers’ Union, the 150 were part of a force of Bell men employes who have walked out. | Girls Reported Discharged. It was stated at the meeting that the company on Tuesday had dis- charged 12 girl telephone operators who were charged with having spo- ken lightly of the company’s an- nounced intention of increasing the salaries of the operators. The committee appointed to deliver. the ultimatum was instructed to inves- tigate this statement and if they found it true to demand also that the dis- charged operators be reinstated. It was, voted to continue the work of organizing a separate union and to in- duce all maintenance department em- ployes of the company to join it. Another meeting of the striking em- ployes is set for Friday night, at which time it is expected the company’s an- swer to the ultimatum will be consid- ered, At noon W. B. Smith, financial secre- tary of Local Union No. 1, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that 150 tele- phone girls at the Main and Forest ex- changes had gone out gn strike in sym- pathy with the men. When questioned as to his authority for this statement he said that 100 girls at a meeting Tuesday night had signed union application blanks and that it was understood that all those who signed had quit work. Wednesday morning 50 more girls signed the application blanks, he said, and this meant that they had gone on strike. Denies Any Have Struck, W. J. Hiss, general manager of the company, after learning of Smith's Statement, denied that any of the girls had walked out. He said all of the operators were at their posts and that the company had. not taken a stand against the formation of an operators’ union, Hiss told a Post-Dispatch reporter that in accerdance with its announce- ment, made several days ago, the com- pany is preparing to grant an average increase of 10 per cent in salary to its operators. This, he said, will involve Aan annual additional expenditure oi $75,000. About 125 operators held a meeting at the Mermod-Jaccard Building Tuesday night. After most of them had signed union application blanks, Mrs. D. W. Knefler of the Women’s Trades Union League advised them not to strike until they had formed a well-organized union. Another Meetiug Planned. It was agreed chat the operators would attend a meeting of the Women’s Trades Union League at its head- quarters, 3535 Pine street, Wednesday right. Some of the young women were in favor of declaring a strike in sympathy with the men employes of the mainten- ance department who walked out Tues- Gey after several of their number had been discharged by the company. Went Down Fire Escape. While the telephone girls were in ses- ston in the Mermod-Jaccard Building Tuesday night it became known that Miss Rose Church and Miss . Mamie Farrell, chief operators of the Olive and Main exchanges, and C. M. Mantor, chief of the traffic department, were Outside the building, it was supposed for the purpose of identifying the oper- ators who attended the meeting. _ Many of the young women boldly walked from the building, despite the presence of the scouts, but several reared to do so. With the aid of a janitor these young women went down a fire escape from the second floor of the building and de- parted through an alley, thus conceal- ing their identity from the scouts. Union Is Urged Before Strike. Mrs. W. Knefler, representing the Women’s Trades Union League, ad- the girls not to strike until they had tain Girl and Make Her Teach- er Among Her People. : If the dream of Mrs. William A. Mc- Candless of 5056 Westminster place comes true, the mountaineers of North- ern Arkansas shall yet see the light of modern progress and a little child shall lead them. Four-year-old Nancy Selma, who for 19 weeks has lived at the McCandless ‘home, may be the medium of this regen- | eration, if her mountaineer father will consent to her adoption by the McCand- less family. Interest in Girl Is Wide, The story of how Mrs. McCandless found the little girl when on an Arkan- sas vacation was published ‘in last Thursday’s Post-Dispatch: and attracted wide attention. Since then Mrs. Mc- Candless hag received many letters. Some of these communications ar2 from parents in Missouri and Arkansas who beg her to take their children into her home. Others are from well-to-do NANCY persons whose interest in the mountain- eers of Arkansas has been aroused by the story of the little girl who was brought from a lean-to cabin to a lux- urious city home. Mrs. McCandless says that she hoeps to induce Nancy Selma’s father to per- mit her adoption. ‘My dream,” she said, “is to educate the child so that when she is a‘ young woman she can go back among her own hill people and give them the advan- tages which they now lack. I think that would be a great achievement.” » Nancy Selma delights in riding her elocipede around the McCandless home. She has learned to write a few childish words of greeting and she soon will send a letter to her mountaineer father. To Revisit Mountain Home. Mrs. McCandless plans to take the child back to the mountain home for a summer vacation. “When her father sees the improvement in her condition he will let me adopt her,’’ she. said. “IT would so like to have her with me until she is qualified to go back and lead her people to the light.’’ wonderful I am sure Witten hy Dog, Goes to Hospital.

WASHINGTON, May 7.—After a con- ference with President Wilson today, Postmaster-Gencral Burleson announced that an executive order would be issued requiring that all fcurth-class Postmas- ters now in office or candidates for prospective apopintments shouid be sub- jected to a competitive examination to determine their fitness for the office. Burleson said that it was the purpose of President Wilson and himself to take into the classified service, probably 4dur- ing the next year, all Postmastcrs of the second and tbird classes, in addition. The Postmaster-General issued a state- ment explaining the purpose of the new executive order, declaring that President Taft's action in putting the fourth-class postmasters in the classified service was not sufficient and that the mere placing ef “a gréat horde of persons,” in the classified service, was not in conform- ity with the spirit of the civil service as there were no tests to determine the merits of the applicants. The new or- der which substantially amends the Taft executive order, retains in the classified service all fourth-class postmasters, but specifically requires a competitive ex- amination and a selection by postoffice inspectors from among the first three eligible applicants. The order places the age limit for appointees at 665 years. Burleson, in his discussion of the situa- tion, indicates that the Wilson adminis- tration wishes to take the fourth-class postmasters. gut of. politics, but points out that Democrats as well as Republic- ans will have an opportunity under com- petitive examinations to show fitness. DIVORCE IS GRANTED TO _ MRS. CHARLES P. DAVIS Woman Who, With Husband, Formerly Conducted Dance Halls, Alleged Desertion. Mrs. Mary Davis, 2938 Palm street, Obtained a divorce in Judge Jones’ court Tuesday, from Charles P. Davis, on grounds of desertion and other indignities. They were married Aug. 29, 1891, and for years conducted dance halls in St. Louis, Anchor Hall, at Jefferson and Park avenues, being one of their places. Mrs. Davis said her husband spoke 1oughly to her in the presence of their dancing classes and that he as- sociated with another woman. He filed an answer, declaring he left her with her consent, but he did not ap- pear in court at the trial and the decree was by default. Davis asserted in his reply that in November, 1910, he conveyed $20,000 worth of realty to hfs wife so that it would be exempt from any claims of his children by a former marriage. At that time, he said, the agreement was that she would not divorce him. ‘Tcharge made by the girl. Thev separated March 16, 1911. to Indignities. Mrs. Julia Corrigan of 1638 North Vandeventer avenue was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary by a jury ir. Judge Withrow’s court, Wednesday. The prosecuting witness was Rose Routhiser, 16 years old. of 2603 Gamble street. She testified that last December she went to a department store to seek employment, and met Mrs. Corrigan in the waiting room. Mrs. Corrigan, the girl testified, told her that if she would come out to her home in St. Charles she would give her easy employment. She was told to gc to a candy store at Wellston and there get car fare for St. Charles, ac- cording to her testimony. Failing to get work, two days later the girl said she followed the direc- tions given to her by Mrs. Corrigan and went to St. Charles. She went, to the house conducted by Mrs. Corrigan, she testified, and was subjected to indigni- tles. She escaped the next day and re- turned home, leaving some of her clothes behind. The girl’s mother, Mrs. Eva. Routh- iser, testified that she went to St. Charles and got her daughter’s clothes. The defense of Mrs. Corrigan was that she had given the girl employment as a domestic, and that she was not sub- jected to any mistreatment. She deniea that she met the girl at- a department store waiting room. Mrs. Corrigan is about 4) years old. She is a large woman, with a mass of blonde hair. Her attorney, John A, Gernez, said he would appeal the case.

CHICAGO, May 7.—A jury to try Jack Johnson, the negro prize fighter, charged with violation of the Mann act in transporting Belle Schreiber from Pitts- burg to Chicago in 1910, was completed Federal Judge Carpenter’s court to- in day. Harry A. Parkin, the Assistant United States District Attorney, who is prose- cuting the case, learned from agents of the Department of Justice’ that “Yank’’ Kenny, formerly one of the de- fendant’s trainers, is still in the city. Kenny was lost to sight of the depart- ment agents last Friday. He is regard- ed as one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution. “Scandal fans,’’ as the bailiffs termed them, crowded the corridor outside the courtroom, in expectation of the begin- ning of testimony. They were denied admission, however, and gradually dis- persed after having seen the negro en- ter the court. ——_ i eee Drive away that tired feeling or it may drive you down hill so fast your health will be shattered.

CONTRIBUTIONS. Previously acknowledged .... Harry C. Wood society of resolved Thyrsus, the dramatic Washington University, is upon giving the best performance in all its history when it presents “The World and His Wife” at the Victoria Theater on Thursday evening of next week for the benefit of the Post-Dis-. ee —_ ce my es — ee Is No Longer Cranky About What He Eats Has perfect digestion from the use-of a weil-known remedy that all can obtain. The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table, depend so much on the good digestion of each individual present that the ex- periences of some former dyspeptics ,Who overcame their trouble should be of interest to those now suffering ‘fn this way. The best advice one can give— but it is advice that is seldom heeded—is to eat slowly and masti- cate each mouthful carefully. How- ever, if slow eating and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent digestant, and in addition to helping digest the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, rid- ding them of all accumulated waste. It is safe, reliable, pleasant-tasting. and results are guaranteed. In the opinion of such people as Mr. L. J. Quinn, 1117 Newport Av., Chicago, it is the idea] remedy for indigestion, no matter how severe, constipation, no matter how chronic, biliousness, headaches, gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating Mr. Quinn Says: “We use Dr. ‘ : Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin as a family | remedy and every member of the family from the five-year-old, who is _ the youngest of six children, to Mrs Quinn and myself, use it for stomach trouble, sick headache and to reg- ulate the bowels.” You can obtain Dr. Caldwell’s z Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for MISS MILDRED DECOURCY &s TEODORA ttt * THE WORLD AND HIS WIFE." SAVE THE BABIES! Twenty Dollars will save the life of one baby by giving it pure modified miik. EVERY DOLLAR HELPS. Sasi... ES ES MR. L. J. QUINN sie berng bought by heads of fam- ilies already familiar with its mer- its. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. When you use Syrup Pepsin you will see the fallacy of chewing mints and tablets or of taking ca- thartics, salts, pills and _ similar drastic medicines. Unlike these Syrup Pepsin does not lose its good effect, and by automatically train- ing the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work, soon restores these organs to normal. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial] of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your ad- dress—a postal will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417 Wasktuston 8+. Monticello, Ill., and a free sample patch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund to save the tenement babies. The appeal of the good cause is what moves Thyrsus to its highest endeavor. There is reason to believe that the Vic- toria Theater will be crowded to the doors on the occasion of this great benefit performance. Thyrsus purposes acquitting itself in a manner that will cempare favorably with professional Stage achievement of the worthiest quality. Its presentation of this play as its own annual performance last month was sy admirable as to delight all who at- tended and to win the warmest criti- tic Rotary Sewing Machines. ay ee een ene oe WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 19138. am eX NaF og ? 44 ¢@ there is 9x12 size; $22. 50 #Axminsier Rugs This is a t of Axminster Rugs just received, and large selection of Rugs to select from; in floral, Oriental and medallion designs; in many beautiful coloring effects green, tan and two-tone ef- a rug for any room in the home on sale in our large Rug de- Fourth Floor, Thursday, at of red, fects; partment on the 7 felephone Order Servixe Oe or Onna O00 OR ORONO ee es $2.00 to ee 00 —_ Curtains (Fourth Flees eae e x cellent plais 8 Thured or Thursday 116 | Reoescs Men’s Kid Gloves, Paris or spear point back; cne heavy horn clasp at wrist; assorted 79¢ Long Kid Cloves Women’s elbow-length Silk Gloves; double woven finger tips; 2 clasps at wrist ; assorted sizes; pair... .:. at $1.00 Kid Gloves Women’s and Misses’ two and three. clasp Kid Gloves, with braided or Paris point stitching on back....... 49¢ 39c Silk Lisle ; g 2-clasp silk lisle Gloves for women alu misses; assorted colors and sizes. $1.50 Adler Gloves loves 15¢ _ 5de @omen’s New Spring Coats, $4.98 this sale is particularly timely at the beginning of the season. offer a limited mumber of fine washable Russian rep cloth Coats, specially brand new, in dainty shades of tan, three-quarter length,semi-fitting, in the new cutaway model and drape coat with Bulgarian trim- collar and white here’s an important point—the colors are guaranteed not to fade; these $9.95 Coats are of- fered until this lot is disposed of Thursday med a $9.95 We purchased; they ’re white and Copenhagen; cuffs; Women’s pure thread Silk Hose;/ elastic double lisle garter tops;/ full-fashioned or} seamless ; absolute- | ly first quality, in | black and all | colors; for Thursday only. | double soles; 28c¢ Lisle itose Women’s double garter oh and toes; blac and tan; spe- cial... 15c Chi'dren’s tose Children’s 15¢ black Cotton H in fine and heavy ribbed, extra splicing at heels white &Jomen’s and Children’s fnit Underwear 15c Women’s Vests Low neck, sleeveless, fancy yokes and plain; fine stitch and Swiss ribbed.

She named the Josephine Hospital as her principal legatee, with Chief Sur- geon Frank J. Luts as executor. The brothers introduced testimony that among the fads she found pleasure in humoring was that of collecting old tin cans from alleys and saving them in the basement of her home. They also said she wore short skirts to look like a young girl. although she was 77 years old when she died. Pau! Braeuel testified that he and his .leister lived in the same house until he tcok her to the Josephine Hospital, Grand avenue and Henrietta street, pthat on one occasion when he called there to see her he was not permitted to do so. When asked by his attorney, Frank A. Mohr, why he took his sister o the hospital, Braeuel ansvcred: “She Was crazy in the head.” On motion of Morton Jourdan, attorney for the de- fense, this testimony was stricken out. The hospital, Dr. Lutz and the Rev. John F. Reuther, a priest, to whom was bequeathed $500 for masses, are named as defendants. The plaintiffs contend that Mrs. Zwingmann was unduly in- fluenced to make her will favorng the hospital and that because she was not of disposing mind she did not know whom the natural objects of her bounty should be, The defense is that the woman was in her right mind and that the will was her own free act and deed. Realty Man Testifies. Stephen Sexton, an East St. Louis real estate dealer, testified that he visited Mrs. Zwingmann in the Josephine Hos- pital the evening of April 11, 1912. She told him, he said, that she had been forced that day to sign a will. She ap- peared to be very much dissatisfied, he said, and asked him to have her removed to St. Mary’s Hospital in East St. Louis. Sexton said she had a mesh bag con- taining $35,000 worth of securities, and she asked him to take that and have it put in a safe deposit box. He did as requested, he testified. ' She Wanted to Change. He returned the next day, he said, and Mrs. Zwingmann insisted on being re- moved from the hospital. He went to East St. Louis, he said, and had an am- bulance, with two trained nurses, sent from St. Mary’s Hospital] to the Jose- phine Hospital, but the physicians in charge refused to let either him or the nurses enter the room. Sexton’s testimony was corroborated by Paul Abt, secretary of the Southern Illinois Trust Co. Abt said he was with Sexton on his visits to the hospital. Dr. T. A. Martin testified that he saw Mrs. Zwingmann in teh hospital and gave it as his opinion that she was mentally in- capable of making a will. BURLESQUE CIRCUS AT THE W. U. FIELD TODAY The seventh annual “Univee Surr- kuss’’ Wednesday afternoon and even- ing at Francis Field, Washington Uni- versity, gives the students of the school the one big chance of the year to cut loose from their books and class rooms and part with their money for the ben- efit of the athletic association. This year’s program inclues every- thing from the usual architect’s show to a bar where the young women stu- dents order any variety of drinks from a@ real bartender; a gambling den, a minstrel show, a foolish house, a sen- sational slide for life from the roof of the gymnasium, all in burlesque, and the usual band concert. The young women of the institution entered into the spirit of the frolic and dressed up the “faculty nigger-babies’”’ to face the annual fusilade of baseballs thrown at them by the students, a score being kept of the number of times each “prof.’’ is knocked over.

He is G. D. Morgan, an American, who lives in Paris, and says he is a relative of the late J. P. Morgan. He was sorry, he said, that illness prevented him coming over to attend the funeral of Morgan. “IT want to see just one good old base ball game, and then I am going right back,”’ he said.

A municipally-owned railroad to run 17 miles along the river front between baden and Carondelet, is proposed by the City Plan Commission in 4 report just submitted to the Municipal As- sembly. The Commission calls atten- tion to the fact that several important railroad franchises, covering the use of tracks on the river front, will expire before November, 1914. “This fact present important possi- bilities,’ says the commission. “Tt opens the way to municipal ownership of a railroad from a point considerably south of the municipal bridge along the levee and the river front to the Chain of Rocks. “The city already owns a rail- Here are 2 full-sized 88-note mahogany Player-Pianos Left in our care by two of our customers who are leaving for other parts; practically as new, having had but little usage.

A ‘ 4 = road covering the northern section of this route, extending from _ Bissell’s l’oint to the Chain of Rocks and traversing a district especially adapted to industrial development. Not only is i: possible for the city to own a river front railroad southward from Bissell’s Yroint, but the acquisition can be ef- fected at comparatively small cost. The commission does not make recommen- dation, but suggestg that the expiring franchises present this possibility ior serious consideration by the city in the immediate future. Connection With Bridge. “The importance of the situation in respect to river-frent tracks will be vastly increased upon the completion ‘of the municipal bridge. With the building cf the western approach the city will own a railroad extending out Gratiot street to Twenty-third strget. Connection be- tween the bridge and river-front tracks owned by the city is shown by the: engi- neer of the commission to be practicable from a construction point of view and not prohibitive in ccst. “The franchises about expiring apply to tracks, the scuthérn extremity of which is Arsenal street. If the city shall decide to adopt the policy of a municipal-owned raiJroad along the river front and connecting with the municipal bridge, there will be presented the ques- tion of extension southward from Arse- nal street to reach an industrial district adjacent to the River des Peres. In the opinion of the engineer, such an exten- sion is practicabte. “The harbor line of St. Louis, as es- tablished in 1903, permits a material ex- tension of the river front. The city can expand eastward into shallow water and increase the river front to the extent necessary for railroad tracks. “Along the Illinois front, opposite St. Louis, is being constructed a concrete wall, the crest of which is above high water. As to the probable effect of this wall on the river stage along the St. Louis front engineers differ widely. It may be found in time expedient for St. Louis to build a concrete wall along its front. If this is done, advantage may be taken of the new harbor line and a large area may be added to the city’s frontage.”’ ‘Map Shows Project. Accompanying the report is a map of the river front of St. Louis, show- ing the possibility of a municipal- owned or controlled railway from the Chain of Rocks to the River des Peres, with an additional approach to the mu- nicipal bridge, prepared for the com- mission by Baxter L. Brown, consult- ing engineer. Attached to the report of the commis- sion is a report of Consulting Engineer Brown, which presents in detail the op- portunities affordéd to the city by the expiring franchises. The engineer quotes from ordinances which granted franchises for a Single and double track railway from Arsenal] street to a connection with the tracks of the Water Works Railway at Bis- sell’s Point, excepting between Valen- tine street and Morgan street on the Wharf, where right was given to use the tracks of the Iron Mountain. This franchise as first granted ex- rires June 11, 1914, but was extended to Dec. 15, 1915. The engineer says: “It would be no troubla to arrange for joint use of tracks in that vicinity, or better still, the city can own «he tracks and lease them to the various roads on the trackage principle. Below Chouteau avenue there is either room for the tracks, or it can be secured by moving the harbor line to the east suf- ficiently to provide room. As to the moving of the harbor line, there is every reason to believe that Iittle trouble would be eneountered south of the Pittsburg dike.” Wider Wharf Possible. The engineer also shows from the harbor and wharf lines established by the War Department in 1908 that the city may acquire ‘‘a material extension to the east of the line to which. per- manent structures may be extended. At North Market street for example, where the width of the present wharf is 400 feet, the new harbor line permits un extension of 370 feet to the east, which will ultimately make the width of the city wharf at that point 77) feet. A sandbar just inside the new harbor line indicates that the filling in and extension of the wharf in that neighborhood can be easily accom- plished. em Would Free 800 Texas Convicts.

NEW YORK, May 7.—The conviction of the demoted police inspectors, Dennis Sweeney, James E. Hussey, James F. Thompson and John J. Murtha on charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice, by a jury which required only 37. min- utes to reach its verdict was declared iby District Attorney Charles S. Whit- man today to be likely to lead to **still more important work” in clearing the police situation. No explanation of what futther action is contemplated was forthcoming. Until sentence is paesed Friday, no one knows just what move will be made by counsel for the defense in the case of the four men. Each is likely te get a year in prison and each is also under indictment for bribery. May Drop Other Cases. It was intimated at the District At- torney’s office today that it may rest with the defendants whether they are to be tried on the bribery charge. If heir lawyers make a fight against the verdict it is understood that District Attorney Whitman will press the bribery vases, which involve a felony and Carry, on conviction, a much heavier sentence than the prisoners could now receive. If the defendants serve time for the crimes of which they now stand con- victed, Whitman may not push the re- maining cases. The result thus far of the 10 months’ war to end the police system’s “carnival of graft’’ has been the conviction or pleading guilty of 10 policemen and the conviction of several associates in crime. The list begins with Lieut. Charles Becker, who was convicted last October of the instigation of the murder of Her- man Rosenthal in July, because the latter threatened to expose police graft. In November four gun men were con- victed of the same crime.and sent to Sing Sing where, with Becker, they are awaiting execution. Others Whe Are Guilty. The Becker-Rosenthal case led to a general investigation of the sale of po- lice protection for vice and crime. Reve- lations were made which forced Police- man Eugene Fox and Capt. W. Walsh to plead guilty to bribery. A confession to grafting was .made by Policeman James E. Wrenn, John J. Hartigan, a patrol- man, was convicted on charges of per- jury. Policeman Thomas F. Robinson was found guilty on charges of extor- tion and the conviction followed yes- terday of the four demoted police in- spectors on charges of conspiracy in plotting to buy the silence of a witness against them. -" eo €@e0etOtOOeosee 0d » ‘Society *) - £266 O000%%SO00% N out-of-town wedding Wednesday A morning or interest here Was inat of Miss Helen Harriman, daugnter Harriman of Bunceton, Will Robertson Ir. of Was celebrated at Church J sa ® ® © @ oc 428, 2%.

NEGRO JANITOR PUTS WAITE HOPE IN DISPENS Monte Dale, pugilist of local renown, suffered a setback in his aspiration to be a “‘white hope,’’ when he emerged, facially battered, from a chance en- counter with Scott Skerlock, negro jan- itor of the Future City Athletic Club. Dale, who once was hammered around a 24-foot ring by Battling Nelson, got even worse punishment when he “took on” the negro, after the club’s regular schedule was finished Tuesday night. When he appeared at the city dispensary for treatment at 12:6 a. m. Wednesday he accounted for his visit by saying he had collided with a cuspidor. Skerlock, the janitor, told the police that his fist had done all the damage. He denied Dale’s charge that he at- tacked the pugilist with a knife, causing him to fail over the cuspidor. He told Sergt. Sears he was ‘a sport,’”’ and would not resort to weapons in dealing with a man-of his own weight. Both the fighter and the fighting jan- itor are scheduled to appear before Judge Kimmel in the City Hall Police Court. Rip Out Your -|Dress Shields — Fire ‘Em Quick!

Pee oar + i “4 5 ey jae Bere: OT ona Oe nee Gan TESTIFY. AS TO LIQUOR USt BY MRS. MILLER! Mrs. Georgiana Miller of 5435 Maple avenue, widow of a wealthy railroad man, surprised her former servants by appearing in the Jawyer’g office where they were to give depositions Tuesday afternoon as to her habits in regard to the use of liquor. Her daughter, Mrs. Marie Connor, has applied to the Probate Court for the appointment of a guardian for her, al- leging that by the use of liquor she has unfitted herself to manage her husband's 200,000 estate. Mrs. Miller's appearance was not ex- pected by the lawyer's. She sat near her former servants, and listened with great interest to their answers to terruption. She wore a white and black checked tailored suit, and a flower- trimmed hat, and showed no trace of the severe nervous shock which, after the filing of her daughter's petition, caused her to go to a sanitarium. The scene of the deposition-taking was the office of Davis Biggs in the Pierce Building. The servants, Freda Boehmer, a white maid, and Henry Pevey, a negro chef, were questioned only about Mrs. Mil- ler’'s use of alcoholic stimulants. The depositions were taken in executive ses- sion at~-the request of Mrs. Miller's attorneys. In a statement published in last Fri- day's Post-Dispatch, Mrs. Miller said she had no intention of denying that she had indulged in liquor to a certain extent. She said her late husband had been of a bohemian disposition, and that he always kept liquors in the house. She drank with him for sociabil- ity’s sake, she said, but since his death she had not been drinking much. Private process servers in the emplo” [ of Mrs. Connor have succeeded in plac- ing a summons in the hands of Dr. W, W. Gardiner... He is to appear in Biggs’ office May 20 and give his depo- sition. Dr. tained Gardiner, who formerly matin- dental offices in the Delmar Building, is being sued for divorce by his wife, who, in her petition, filed a few weeks ago in Clayton, asserts her husband is fond of other women. The Gardiners formerty resided Ashby place, St. Louis County, but since Mrs. Gardiner sued, they have been or- cupying separate homes in the city. The private detectives who were secking Dr. Gardiner from the time Mrs. Conno: filed her application for a guardian sev- eral weeks ago, found him at the of- fice of his wife's attorney in the Carie- ton Building. He at first denied hi» identity, the detectives say, but when told he had been recognized through a photograph he accepted service, it 1s said. Mrs. Miller, in her statement puw- lished in the Post-Dispatch, said that the filing of Mra. Gardiner’s divorce p-- tition a few days after Mrs. Connor's suit was docketed was merely a coin- cidence, and that she believed that go. sip linking her name with that of Dr. Gardiner had prompted her daughter's action. She also stated that Mrs. Gar | diner was unreasonably jealous. in queries | about her habits, but she offered no in-' There is no substitute for the genuine "Porosknit*® Underwear.

The Comptroller says the tax rate must be in- creased to cover necessary municipal expendi- tures. There can be no doubt of that. The city suffers from lack of revenue. Things that ought to be done remain undone, and with increasing needs on account of increasing population the pressure for more revenue becomes more intense. Politics has kept the tax rate too low. The tax- payers must not be offended. On the other hand, politics demands that the water-users be pleased. They want cheaper water. They should have it whenever conditions warrant reduction. Water should be as cheap as possible. We would not object to free water if it could be supplied without injustice. water supply must be paid for. Unless cheaper water brings mcre revenue—a conclusion yet to be demonstrated—a reduction of rates must be met out of the general revenue. But there is a deficiency in the general revenue and the pro- posed increase in the tax rate is hardly enough to meet the deficiency. The reduction in the wa- ter rates will increase the deficiency. Perhaps Mayor Kiel and his advisers can work out the problem of meeting a deficiency with a greater deficiency. Hitherto it has stumped financiers: But all things are possible in politics. A further increase in the tax rate, however, to pay for a reduction in the water rates would not be shrewd politics. + ® - The coming of the first warm inv means, to hundreds of poor families who cannot afford ice, souring of the milk on which the babies depend for nourishment. Prompt aid in pure milk and free ice is as imperative now as in the middle cf the hottest spell of summer. He who gives quickly is most sure of saving some little life. The plea of the Pure Milk Commission and of the King’s Daughters for enough money to begin work on the scale needed to insure success should receive instant response. = = — se COMMONS’ VOTE ‘ON SUFFRAGE. The action of the House of Commons on a votes-for-women bill affords every incentive to London suffragettes to cease their campaign of violence. The feminine dynamiters and church- burners no longer have the excuse that they are refused even a chance to test the House's senti- ment. A square issue was permitted and a pro- posal to grant women votes on practically the game conditions on which men are granted them was defeated by a majority of only 47. With the home rule bill out of the way, the Irish members alone might have given the women a handsome victory. The vote showed two things: That British suf- frage for women cannot long be delayed, and that the adverse majority. at this time would doubtless have been less but for the lawless depredations of the women themselves. A better plan of cam- paign would probably bring early results. = = —_———— The text furnished by the case of Teller Harry G.

Their use ‘in place of horses and buggies or wagons repre- ' sents economy and efficiency. The only thing to guard against is extravagance in supplying autos mot actually needed and using them for other purposes than city work. Comptroller Player seems to have hit on the right method of guarding against pleasure riding _ fa etty machines by employes. The municipal ss garage, with a superintendent in charge and a _ system ef checking, seems to be an effective pre- eaution against official joy-riding. The ordinance making joy-riding in city machines a misde- s -seaageed fsa oe ee | A SEAT FOR EACH PASSENGER. When Chicago’s Council passes a seat-for-each- passenger ordinance applying to the elevated roads, the traction men do not grumble, but cheerfully reply: The companies are as keenly alive as your- self to the necéssity of giving their patrons the best service possible. They know that | the commercial success of a transportation agency is more dependent upon this factor than upon any other.’ The United Railways Co. of St. Louis grumble that it cannot afferd te make additions cnd im- provements which are necessary to good service. Instead of treating the public as so many patrons to be pleased, it puts on a poor mouth whenever the public complains. It has never learned the principle that the success of a transportation agency must depend ultimately upon the kind of service it renders. Conditions in St. Louis differ from those in Chicago. The United Railways Co. is a monopoly, but the principle is the same. It can survive only by providing the service which St. Louis demands. Otherwise eventually 8t. Louis will have done with it; it will be super- seded. It is only a question of time—and little time at that—when service on a basis of a seat for each passenger will be exacted of the United Railways Co. by the competent autnority, municipal or State. It may as well prepare to bow gracefully to the inevitable—or prepare to turn the business over to those who know how to make good serv- ice pay. If Mr. Underwood can guarantee that when the price of wheat goes down the price of flour will go down with the same rapidity with which the price of flour now goes up when the price of wheat goes up, his tariff will score one of its, greatest triumphs. a a. SS ‘‘IN OPEN COURT.’’ Putting an end to divorces behind closed doors, the Lord Chancellor of England declares: “Every court of justice in the land is open to every sub- ject of the King. A court has no power to sit otherwise than with open doors.” Emphasis of this principle is required in Amer- ican courts. The secret divorce is an abomination and in certain jurisdictions a growing one. Except in rare instances where the testimony is of an offensive nature, which the court decides should be withheld on the score of public morals or pub- lic decency, there should never be a secret court proceeding of any kind, and even the exception may be regarded as dangerous. The secret divorce is akin to the star chamber proceeding. The closed doors of a court confine the darkness of the Middle Ages. The light of publicity alone can keep the system of judicature clean and preserve liberty and justice to a people. - = = rw Y With the victorious Nicholas of Montenegro and the whipped Sultan of Turkey both thinking of abdicating, the havoc war plays with thrones, winning or losing, seems to be illustrated. = = — Se KIN IN OFFICE—TWO VIEWS An impertinent no’ to say impudent census of job-holders at Jefferson City discloses that 16 in- cumbents of elective and appointive places, in five branches of the fate service, are relatives of one of more other incumbents of these places. Those invested with the appointing power have been liberal in some ivstances in naming rela- tives, but this does not account for all the kin on the State salary list. It seems that subordi- nate apppintees after once learning the ropes at the capital are fairly successful in working kins- "men and kinswomen into jobs. President Wilson is, of course, greatly mis- taken in laying dowr another principle as repre- senting the ideals of the new Democracy. Wilsons tc the third and fourth degree of consanguinity are just as capable of discharging official duties and drawing the salaries prescribed therefor as persons totally unrelated to the presidential fam- ily. Jefferson City repudiates the notion that any gcod Democratic family has been given adequate representation. witen only one of its members has a place in the public ser ice. Recognition of one member should mean in- creased facilities for landing the rest of the family in good jobs, particularly if the first member has the appointing prerogative. Public office is a trust—a family office-holding trust. = = a It is taking the Southern Pacific ds long to comply with the Supreme Court’s decision as the St. Louis Terminal Association and it prob- ably finds the delay as profitable. = |] i i BIGAMY AT CLAYTON.

Worth- ington of the Chicago & Alton for advocating a 10 per cent increase in railroad rates. At a luncheon tendered President Samuel! Rea of the Pennsylvania road in Pittsburg, he declared that “We are obliged to look forward to a general and modest increase in rates.” The recent liter- ature on the subject is voluminous. It seems to be touched on in interviews and addresses whenever an opportunity of whatever nature is given a high railroad official for obtaining the ear of the public. A “high cost of living”. affecting railroads as well as individuals is the very plausible reason commonly assigned as justifying an advance in rates. If this “living cost” continues to increas3, undoubtedly some increase in the railroads’ charges to its patrons will become inevitable. But ie the present, when a meter‘al reduction in all kinds of living cost is expected at an early daté, jan opportune time fo- pressing the matter of an increased transportation tax on the people?

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Reading of the procedure in the Doxey case, I am moved to wonder just what the limits of Judge Wurdeman’s patience are. This woman's lawyer stood before the™ judge Monday and pleaded that, on technical grounds, her bondsmen, who are also her lawyers, should be freed from their liability for failing to produce her for trial. If the Judge had decided that the bond must be paid, the woman would have been pro- duced; if the bondsmen had been freed of their obligation, she could have taken her chance at slipping out of town as she had slipped in. When her presence was accidentally revealed, lawyers went before the Judge, who accepted a new bond, with no complaint of the all-to-win and nothing-to-lose game which the defense had played with him. LAYMAN, The California Trouble, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. President Wilson is the last person who should advocate a national law prohibiting California from protecting herself from foreign dangers, be- cause the party that elected him has always preached that. state’s rights are necessary to the safety and permanency of our Republic, and they are especially necessary in this case as peo- ple outside of California do not know what Call- fornians have to face; and who knows what scheming Japan is planning against California and this country should she once get a foothold here? We should never permit alien ownership of land in this country because such an act would establishea precedent which would be dangerous, and insistence on it by any foreign country should be a warning to look out for that country. It is evident from Japan’s increasing and in- solent demands she will require a lesson sooner or later and we should be prepared to face her and another country too and the best way to do that is to have a navy as large as England’s at least. Preparation for war is the best guarantee of peace and freedom; as history proves. BEB. E. F. Stubborn John Bull To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The suffragists have lost in the British House of Commons. The militants are said to have done the woman suffrage cause great harm. The Com- mons would have voted against the bill anyhow. Jcehn Bull is bull-headed and will not give woman justice. He was that way when the American Revolution started. Only the loss of. his colonies brought him to his senses.and British colonies are now treated decently. Some day he may have sense enough to be fair toward British women. CANADIAN. In Defense of Army Men. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Dr. Clark in his sermon Sunday said that the soldiers of the Army were “immoral parasites.” I grant that there may be some immoral char- acters in the Army, but sir, that should not con- demn the whole. 3 Dr. Clark would do well to remember that Washington, Hamilton, Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and a millon even quite as grand char- acters were soldiers and a goodly number of them in the standing army. The gentleman evi- dently forgets the immoral parasites in the ministry of the church; would he have us con- demn the whole for the few? I think not. Dr. Clark, I am for peace, lasting peace, but I want my country to be so powerfully situated that the rest of the world will not dare disturb that peace. THOS. F. MAXWELL, 4707A McMillan av., St. Louis, Mo. ‘‘Men,’’ in Broad Sense, Includes Women. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In a recent letter Joseph O’Grady says: “The principle that All men are born free and equal certainly includes women.” The Declaration of: In- to secure the natural rights, governments are in- stituted among men. How strange then, that the author and signers of the immortal document make no mention of women and fail to recog- nize her sacred right—the ballot: I cannot hold with Mr. O’Grady that the right to vote is a sacred right. It is a privilege conferred on some and withheld from others by the state. Mr. O'Grady says the only argument that should be required in favor of women voting is the mere fact that they were born. If. Mr. O’Grady will try the requirement on himself next election day, it is doubtful if he reaches the voting booth. He Says, in the event of women office holders, they will be drawn from those who devote their lives to teaching, religion and literature and eschew marriage. Very true no doubt, but I stand with the State of Missouri and wait until it becomes more apparent that the mothers want the ballot. P. THORNTON, EB. 8t. Louis. Corporation Salaries. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. One of the great wrongs permitted to exist at the present time is the power of officials of a corporation to vote themselves salaries. What this country needs more than tariff laws is cor- poration laws regulating the salaries of offi- clals. It is dead easy under present conditions for a board of directors to get together and vote themselves large, juicy salaries out of all pro- portion to earnings, efficiency or services ren- dered. In the exposure of a recent Lead com- pany it was brought out in court testimony that only a few hours after their election, the presi- dent and directors voted themselves an increase of salary of $4000 a year each; a mere bagatelle— it didn’t worry these high and mighty men that dividends had to be passed, that the poor inves- tors’ earnings dwindled down to half. Nor did they consider for one minute that they owe theif positions to the stockholders’ money. So it was with recent bank sensations and other mercantile companies. Stockholders are at the mercy of the board of directors anq there- fore need protection. Salaries of officials of a corporation might b@ regulated by law. When dividends have to be passed, all salaries of the board ought to be cut in half; if reduced, their salaries ought to be re* duced likewise, because had they been efficient the cut would not have been necessary. Wher one sees these officers of corporations living oD the fat of the land on stockholders’ money—rid- ing in private cars and latest mode) autos and the poor stockholders groaning ang wonderins how they can make ends meet, ig 1; a wonder that anarchism grows?

Corner EF Ccond Frankdin me TO CONTEND SPIRIT OF TREATY IS BEING VIOLATED Protest Will Say That AntAlian Land Law Deals With Them as Inferiors. By Associated Press, SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.—A cable- gram from Tokio to the Japanese New World of this city says the protest of the Japanese Government against the alien-land law in California will be based on the contention that by its terms the Japanese were placed in a position in- ferior to that granted to citizens of European nations in California and that the spirit of the “most-favored-nation”’ clause of the Japanese treaty with the \Tnited States was therefore violated, even though no stipulation of the treaty specifically covered the point at issue. There still is a strong feeling in Japan that the difficulty can be solved by ne- eotiations between the two governments, the message ads. Baron Sakatani, Mayor of Tokio, is quoted as having said in an interview: “The right of naturalization and a new treaty with the United States spe- cifically relating to land ownership will solve the whole question.”’ Advices to the Japanese-American from Tokio reported that the Japanese Government had announced that an av- enue toward a satisfactory solution of the California problem still remained and argued that the people await the issue of negotiations with calmness.

OWAN tried desperately hard in ~ the fourth and fifth rounds to turn the tide, but Magirl was only resting in these rounds, as he demon- strated when he cut loose with renewed vigor in the sixth round and kept up his good work in the next two. | No complaint can be made of Rowan’s condition, but he did not seem to be as Strong as Magirl.

Many of them rocked Rowan’s head from side to side, but they failed to score a knock- out or a knock-down, either because they lacked the heft or their force was minimized by protecting gloves. Magirl looked to be at his very best, while I hardly think Rowan was, but it would have taken an exceptionally good man to have beaten Magirl last night. In the semi-windup Lee Morrissey of Ok- lahoma City. Ok., was quite an easy winner over Art Ehriing of Milwaukee. Wis., though the bout went eight rounds and was won on points. Joe Feldman was best in every round of the six he boxed with Phil Goldberg and had the latter stood still long enough to make a few leads the bout might have not cone the limit.

WAGNER BACK IN GAME: UMPIRE OWENS DROPPED VEN Hans Wagner's presence in the lineup failed to win for the Pirates over the usually easy Braves, who batted out a 8—2 victory in the tenth. Hendrix opposed Perdue. Start- ing the tenth, Sweeney singled and ad- vanced on Titus’ sacrifice. Kirke, bat- ting for Mann, raised a high fly to left. Carey grabbed the ball but bumped into the fence and the bulb dropped and hopped over the fence. Sweeney scored and Kirke was credited with a double. Umpire “Brick’’ Owens of the Na- tional League has lost his job for en- tering a gambling house. President Lynch of the N. L, in making the an- nouncement, said Owens by entering the gambling house failed to uphold the dignity of his position. a. —. Concordia in Easy Victory. Concordia Seminary’s baseball team had an easy time in defeating the McKinley High School team in a seven-inning contest Tyes. day. The score was 15 to 3. Ruehie ang Schmidt pitched for the seminary boys, while erscholastica, | Burke twirled for the int and by judicious juggling of pinch hit- ters he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, as it were. Hug sent Wingo in to bat for Steele in the seventh stan- za, although the sharps thought it was bad baseball inasmuch as Steele had pitched grand ball. However, Hug's judgment was sustained when Wingo jammed a double to the right-field wall, scoring two runs. Dooin Protests Card Victory. Manager Dooin of the Phillies later protested the game on the grounds that Umpire Klem took undue advantage of the rule which provides that the bali must be “thrown by the pitcher with- in 20 secgnds after it has been called for by the umpire.” Wingo was in- jected into the game in lieu of Steele, in the seventh inning, when the bases were choken with two out. Tom Sea- ton tried to worry the batter by wait- ing a long time between pitches. Klem called him and when he refused to obey, Klem called a ball in favor of the bat- ter. The pitcher then was in the hole and forced to “groove it” to Ivey. The latter busted a double over Paskert’s head, scoring Cather and Oakes. No Man Sure of His Job. Manager Huggins is running his team with more spectacular display than even Johnny McGraw of the Glants. Hug surprised the fans yesterday by bench- ing Teddy Cather, after the latter had made three successive singles, and call- ing on Jimmy Sheckard to bat against a right-handed pitcher. However, Hug has a bug about switching Cather and Sheckard, and he gives not a damson plum how good either may be going, he must come out if the opposition switches from a port-sider to a righi- hander. Cards Ready to Climb. The Cardinals today are less than a half- fame out of first place. Hug’s team was the only Wéstern entry to win yesterday, as Chicago, Pittsburg and Cincinnati fell by the wayside. Another victory today will put the St. Louis sensations in second place. It was the third good game in a row for Bill Steele, the mighty mountaineer. He beat the Pirates twice and helped Harmon to beat them a third time. He had the Phils fooled to a frazzle yesterday. Harmon fin- ished up and went along without a ripple of discord. Big Bob looks fit and may work again against the jocal top-linera. The baseball fever has struck this city hard. Yesterday’s game was witnessed by 7000 persons, a mighty big attendance ton- sidering that the Cards came here after four games between the Phillies and the Giants and that this city is now having its first real taste of baseball] at high prices. Up to this time, owing to the fact that both of the local teams have been on winning streaks the increase in the price of admissions has not been felt. On the contrary the rooters are turning out_in larger numbers. — TTT, on the last re * Promoters a hans! E VEN 25 and 530 cent competition with dollar goods cannot hope for much success when the quality of baseball is in proportion. And, as matters now stand, many obstacles stand in the way of strengthening Federal clubs beyond a Class C efficiency. Nor do the promoters expect much. They state they are in the game to stay the limit, taking what punishment is coming to them. In the meantime, the organization of the league will have been strengthened and the playing ma- terial improved. And then, and then—well, perhaps we'll have Class among the Federals. —. * Confiding, These ‘‘Angels.”’ UT the “angels’’ do not think along these linea. On the word of one rromoter with money in the venture we have it that ‘‘gradual improvement’’ is the motto of the organization, and that the ultimate goal looks nothing like the present prospect. Progress by easy stages may lead the Federal stripling into an ultimate con- flict with the big league Goliath; but the new baseball David hasn't yet got his sling working right for mortal com- petition with Organized Baseball to be undertaken.
