PRICE ONE CENT EDITION FINANCIAL ARK SPORTS WILSON APPEALS. ~TOPUBLIC AGAINST BiG TARIFF LOBBY President icin Country “In- sidious” Efforts Are Being Made to Change Bill. “GREAT SUMS OF MONEY” Funds “Without Limit’ Being Used to Create False Pres- sure on Congress. ( By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 2.—President ‘ Wilson told White “House correspond- ‘ents today that he believed the n 3t extraordinary lobby ever gathered by special interests to overcome iegisla- tion was now mustered at the capital against the tariff bill. The President said he had no doubt that a few so-called lobbyists were there on legitimate errands, but that the majority were occupied in a sys- tematic misrepresentation of facts. Ai- though the President believes that the “lobby” is concentrated against free Sugar and free -wool, he is not appre- hensive: that it will be successful. The President made it clear that he believed scientific business methods and efficiency would overcome tariff cuts and that with the application of scien- tific methods, Louisiana would not only be able to continue in the sugar indus- try, but do so profitably. President's Statement. The President issued the following statement: I think the public ought to know the extraordinary exertions being made by the labby in Washington ‘to gain recognition for certain altera- tions of the tariff bill. Washington has seldom seen so numerous, 80 indystrious or insidious a lobby. The newspapers are being filled with paid advertisements calculated to mislead the judgment of the public men not only, but also the public opinion of the country itself. There is every evidence that money without Hmit is being spent to sus- tain this lobby and to create an ap- pearance of a pressure of public opinion antagonistic to some of the chief Ttéms 6f the tariff bill. It is of serious interest to the coun- try that the people at large should have a-lobby and be voiceless in these matters, while great bodies of agtute men seek to create an artificial opinion and to overconie the interests of the public for their private profit. It is thoroughly worth the while of the people of this country to take knowledge of this matter. Only pub- lic opinion can check and destroy it. The Government in all its branches ought to be relieved from this intol- erable burden and this constant in- terruption to the calm progress of debate. I know that in this I am _speaking for the members of the two houses who would rejoice as much as I would, to be relieved from this undesirable situation. Subcommittees had a long list of manufacturers waiting to be heard before the close of the tariff hearings tomorrow night. Beginning Wednesday morning the subcommittees will take up the schedules for revision and plan their reports to the full committec. That task, it is estimated, will take at least a week. - TUESDAY TO BE FAIR; TEMPERATURE TO DROP THE TEMPERATURES. ‘“‘Waliter,’’ called Jiggs. *é Yes, si r. ” “Bring me an Argentine porter- house, smothered with Bermuda onions, with a side dish of French ar- tichokes.”’ “Any soup, sir?’ “Yes, ygu may bring me some Australian mutton broth.”’ “And _ the sert?”’ “Some des- English we haven't any of the articles you . have order “Glad of it.

S. Supreme Court’s Decision Will Allow Re- tailers to Sell Razors and Other Articles as They May See Fit. : WASHINGTON, May 2.—Patented articles sold under price restrictions by manufacturers, may be resold by re- tailers at cut rates. The Supreme Court se held today in the case of a newly patented nerve tonic. Safety razors, talking machines and thousands of oth- er patented articles will be affected by the decision. The Court's decision was five to four, with Justices McKenna, Holmes, Lurton and Vandevanter dissenting. Justice Day announced the majority decision, which held that while the pat ent law gives the owner the exclusive right to “vend” an article, it does nut give him the right ‘‘to = up the price.”’ Many manufacturers had joined the manufacturer of nerve tonic in his fignt to sustain the contention that his pat- ent gave him a right to sell or use his patent article under any conditions and to restrict the price as he might see fit. All decision in the lower courts, with the exception of one, have been in fa- vor of the manufacturers. Justice Day, in his decision, ‘“‘distin- guished” the famous ‘‘mimeograph case of more than a year ago from the case today, but many lawyers who heard the decision regarded the terin as a judicial phrase. The point may be determined later. Eimds Patent Monopolies. Officials of the Department of Just- ice regard the decision of great im- portance, as it puts an end to existing }olies and’sharply draws a line of de- markation between the Shernian anti- trust law and the patent laws. Under the cloak of the legal monop- oly granted by the patent laws, many industries, it is contended, control the price of patented articles to the ulti- mate consumer, The Department of Justice has con- tended that once a patentee sells his patented article, he loses all control of it and is powerless, especially in view of the Sherman anti-trust law, to es- tablish resale prices. Good News for Shoppers. The Court’s decision will be good news for many shoppers and bargain hunters, who heretofore had _ been forced to pay the retail prices dictated by manufacturers for many lines of goods in general use. Nearly all of the safety razors on the market are sold to retailers wth the understanding that they must be sold at a certain price. The same is true of men’s shirts made by certain manufacturers and of other articles of wearing apparel. Cameras made by the so-called trust have always been sold with an under- standing of this kind, and the rule has been so rigidly enforced that if a deal- er cuts the price the manufacturers will sell him no more goods. The ‘‘keep up the price rule’’ even ex- tends to certain brands of alarm clocks and to many articles of household ne- cessity, such as carpet sweepers, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, stoves and widespread extensions of patent monop-|ranges. BROTHERS PLEAD GUILTY, PROMISE ARSON TESTIMONY One Fort Wayne Merchant Gets 2 to 21 Years; Another's Term Suspended. Fd By Associated Press. FORT WAYNE, Ind., May '2.—David and Benjamin Rosenberg pleaded guilty when they were brought to trial today on charges of arson, growing out of the burning of their store in this city. The pleas were accepted by the prosecutor on condition that the brothers give possible assistance in the prosecution of the so- called ‘‘Arson Trust’’ which has been operating through the Central West, and was particwarly active in Chicago. David Rosenberg was sentenced to from two to 21 years in he penitentiary. Ben Rosenberg, younger of the broth- ers, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit arson and to defraud the in- surance company. He got a suspended prison sentence ot two to 14 years and raid a fine of $25 and costs. The offer to plead guilty was a sur- prise to the State’s attorney. ; Abe Franklin, the third man indicted by the Allen County grand jury in con- nection with the case probably will not be tried until fall. He is at liberty un- der bond. The Rosenbergs were alleged to have had their clothing store here set on fire, that they might collect insurance. They were indicted by the Allen County grand jury and the two Rosenbergs have been in jail several months awaiting trial. Franklin has been out on bond. Charles A. Dolph, James Welsh and prepared to testify regarding a conver- sation they heard between David Ros- enberg and Franklin in that city, the former home of the three accused. The two are alleged to have been quarreling and Franklin said: “Well, you have no kick coming. Didn't I divide the insur- ance money with you?” Ben Fink, the confessed ‘“‘torch’’ of the “arson trust,”’ is said to have ad- mitted that he set fire to the Fort Wayne store owned by the Rosenbergs and Franklin, and that Franklin paid him for the job TWO UNION PACIFIC MEN SEE ATTORNEY WASHINGTON, May 2%.—Robert 5S.

Four weeks ago, Cyrille Sobbry, a farmer living in Shiloh Valley, four miles northeast of Belleville, reported to the Belleville police that his housekeep- er, Mrs. Eugenia de Frian, had disap- peared, Sobbry said that two gold’ watch and chain and a silver cross, which had belonged to his dead wife, were also missing. The police hunted the woman and learned that she had been visiting in St. Louis, but had returned to Belleville. As they were about to send a policeman to the address where she was said to be living, Sobbry came into the police sta- tion with her. Sobbry said he did not want her ar- rested, but did want his jewelry. Mrs. de Frian refused to return it to him. ‘‘He- gave it to me. That was all the pay I ever got for working for him,” she declared. Sobbry then produced a contract which Mrs. de Frrian had not signed and which he said provided that she should not take anything of value from him. The contract provided that she should work for him for 5 years for her board and clothing. After talking the matter over, Mrs. de Frian said she would return and keep house for Sobbry if he ‘would not get cross with her any more. “I left because he got cross,’’ she said.

At Maple and Hodiamont avenues Gunn saw Fox and Mitchell standing on the corner, and invited them to take a ride with. him. Three blocks away, at Etzel and Hodiamont avenues, he drove the automobile at high speed into a Page car. Fox was pitched out on his head, an4 was thrown against a building abutting on the sidewalk. His skull was frac- tured, two ribs were broken, his righ arm was broken and he was internally injured. Mitchell, seeing that an accident was unavoidable, attempted to jump, but is coat sleeve caught in the dvor of the automobile. The sleeve was torn out. He fell on the pavement, an with the exception of a dislocated left knee he was not seriously hurt. Gunn was slightly hurt. He was ar- rested and taken to St. Luke’s Hospi- tal. Later he was sent to the Page Boulevard Police Station and locked up. The automobile, valued at $2400, was wrecked. Neilson told the police e would apply for a warrant against Gunn for taking the automobile without au- thority. Gunn is 25 years old and un- married. NEW YORK LIFE CHIEF ADMITS COMPANY ERRED WASHINGTON, May 2%2%.—Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Co., appealed today to the Senate subcommittee handling the income tax section of the tariff bill, to exempt all insurance written for prco- tection and mutual benefit and not for profits. He had a spirited exchange with Senator Williams over campaign. contributions disclosed in the Hughes investigation several years ago. “When your company paid $250,000 to a campaign fund,’’ asked Senator Wil- liams, “none of that money ever was participated in by the policy holders, was it?’ “No, it was not,” said Kingsiey. “Then that proved that your compa- ny’s assertion that the policy holders participated in all the earnings of the company was false, didn’t it?’ “It proved,” Kingsley returned, ‘‘thet the: judgment of this company’s offi- cers, who paid this campaign contri- bution, thinking it was necessary to protect the assets of the company, was bad.”’ “It proved more than that,” asserted Senator Williams. “It was absolute dis- honesty. I was a policy hoider and a Democrat and you tock part of my money and gave it away to protect me against my own party. But has all that sort of thing been done away with in the insurance business?” — “Absolutely,” replied Kingsley.

This is not sufficient to satisfy the pub- lic, who want stronger mate- rial.”’ Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 2%—W. Wilhelm Wandschneider, one of Germany’s most noted sculptors and an artist of inter- national reputation, arrived here on the steamer Lapland today and learned with amazement that his design for a monument to the German-American edi- tors of St. Louis, Carl Schurz, Emil Preetorius and Carl Daenzer had been rejected by the Committee of Award in St. Louis after it had been accepted by a subcommittee. Wandschneider had crossed the ocean, secure in the belief°that his design had been selected. The subcommittee had cabled Wandschnelider, telling him that he was the winner. Expected to Be Honored. When the committee rescinded the ac- tion of the subcommittee, the sculptor already had sailed for America, intend- ing to go to St. Louis and supervise the erection of the monument. Mrs. Wandschneider accompanied her husband to America, and they had looked forward to a long stay in St. Louis, where they were expecting to be received with honors in keeping with the sculptor’s achievement in winning so notable a contest in competition with other famous artists. Wandschneider was stunned when a Post-Dispatch correspondent told him that the action of the subcommittee had been rescinded. His wife acted as his interpreter. “It is difficult to believe that this can be true,”’ he said. Is Told of Objections. The reporter then outlined to him the, conditions which led to the rejection of his design. The distinguished sculptor was told that it had been ruled by the directors of the monument fund that the subcommittee of the committee of award had no authority to accept a de- sign, but was authorized only to. report its selection to the committee, which in turn would refer it to the board of di- rectors for final action. He was told also that Adolphus ‘Busch, who had contributed $20,000 of the $30,000 monument fund, had _ cus- tained the board of directors in rescind- ing the award and had criticised the Wandschnelder design. It was made clear to Wandschneider that some of the directors had objected to his design because its principal dec- oration was the nude figure of a woman. Thinks Figure Is Chaste. “There is absolutely no reason for re- jecting my design,’”’ said Wandschneider, “Here is a photograph of it to speak for itself. “The news you give me is most sur- prising. I can’t understand why the decision of the subcommittee should have been reversed. “The nude figure, to which exception has been taken, is that of a woman sitting with outspread arms on a stone bench. The figure is symbolical of ‘naked truth.” The open arms mean that there is nothing to be concealed. The figure is chaste in every respect and I cannot see why any exception should be taken to the design because of its lack of drapery. “I shall think this whole, question over and consider whether I shall first make a complaint to the German Am- bassador at Washington or go to 8t. Louis and insist that the committee fulfill its contract with me.” Devorated by Kaiser. The distinguished sculptor feels most keenly the blow to his professional pride and it is doubtful i¢ he will accept as full compensation the committee’s offer to pay all of the expenses of his voyage across the Atlantic and home.

MYRTLE OMAN WHO IS ‘A PERFECT 36° |S SHED FOR DIVORCE Mrs. Myrtle Burton Jefferis’ Husband Alleges That She Has Deserted Him. After an imperfect 36 months of mar- ried life, Mrs. Myrtle Burton Jefferis, 9 ‘‘perfect 36’’ model, once proclaimed by artists and by Anna Held as the most symmetrical young woman in St. Louis, has been sued for a divorce by Louis M. Jefferis, formerly an East St. Louis real estate dealer. The suit was filed in Muncie, Ind., Jef- feris alleging desertion. In his petition, he also asserts that his wife told him that when her pictures were’ published to show her physical perfection, she thought they would win for her a miui- lionaire husband and that she was dis- satisfied because, after marrying Jeffer- is, she found that he did not have great wealth. Adopted Orphan, The exploiting of Miss Burton as a perfect artist’s model about three years ago destroyed the domestic happiness of her foster-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Burton of 3965 Forest Park boulevard, and led to the obtaining of a divorce by Mrs. Burton. Myrtle’s parents and the Burtons were neighbors in 19988 when Myrtle, then 22 years old, quarreled with her parents. She left their home at 3963A Forest Park boulevard and went next door to the Burtons at 3965 Forest Park boulevard. The Burtons adopted her. Without the knowledge of her foster- father the young woman posed as a model at the St. Louls Schol of Fine Arts. She also posed for individual crt- ists and photographers. When Burton, early in 1910, learned that his foster daughter was a model he was so indignant that he ordered his wife and the young woman from the Forest Park boulevard home, according to testimony later given in Mrs. Burton's divorce suit. They went to live at 3962 Olive street. Mrs. Burton obtained her divorce in February, 1910, after 20 years of peaceful married life with Burton. Then came an offer by Anna Held to take Miss Burton into her company. Pictures and descriptions of the young woman were published, and her measure- ments were given’ as, height 5 feet 4% inches, bust 36 inches, hips 38 inches and waist 22 inches. Jefferis was one of the many suitors attracted to Miss Burton by the pictures and measurements. They were married in the summer of 1910, INTERLAKEN, May %—Rear Ad- mirai Reber, 3.

One of these is 4 Venus which Wandschneider considers his masterpiece. He was decorated oy the Kaiser in recognition of his work in erecting a statue of Bismarck at Schwerin. Won World’s Fair Medal. In 1904, Wandschnheider *won the gold medal for German sculpture at the Sf. Louis World’s Fair. One of his great- est triumphs was when he entered into competition on a design for a statue of Gen. Basclay de Tolly, which has Bince been erected at Riga. He sub- mitted three designs, and won first, sec-. ond and third prize. Wandschneider and" his wife went ‘wv a hotel from the dock, and said they probably would not start for St. Louis until tomorrow. All Designs Objectionable to Busch, Says Faust, Dr. Frederick Kolbenheyer was chalr- man of the subcommittee which accept-| ed Wandschneider’s design and notified him of its action. When the award.of the subcommittee was set aside by the directors a week ago, Dr. Kolbenheyer resigned from the board. At a later meeting Dr. Kolbenheyer withdrew his resignation. It was then agreed that all of the models submitted by sculptors should be submitted to Adolphus Busch. This will include Wandschneider’s model. Edward A. Faust, Busch’s son-in-law, who has been acting as spokesman for Busch throughout the controversy, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday that after Busch sees the models the decision will be left to the Board of Directors. At a recent meeting of the board Faust told the directors that after see- ing photographs of the design, Busch had expressed dissatisfaction with all of them, Faust said Monday that there te om possibility that the competition may be reopened and that all of the competing sculptors will be asked to submit new designs. This would give Wandschneli- der another opportunity to compete.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1913. al LETTER COMPLAINS M. A.C. WAGES 10 WOMEN ARE LOW Senate Committee Receives. Many Other Complaints About Employes’ Treatment. WILL INVESTIGATE THEM One Writer Says Girls Whose Fingers Are Cut Off in Local Factory Lose Time Off. Numerous letters containing ‘“‘tips’” to the State Senate Women’s Wage Inves- tigating Committee have been received at Chairman Michael Kinney’s office since adjournment Friday. They will be laid before the committee Tuesday, when it resumes its hearings at the Planters Hotel. One of the letters makes complaint that the Missouri Athletic Club pays its women help very low wages, and sug- gests that the committee investigate the club. One letter declares that in a man- vfacturing institution using much ma- chinery, there are numerous accidents to women employes. Women’s fingers oft- en are cut off in the machinery, the letter declares, and the victims are sent either to the city dispensary or the city hospital for treatment, and are paid no wages while unable to work. Except in extreme cases, the commit- tee will not take much more testimony in St. Louis on the subject of wages paid to women. What the committee wishes to ascertain is the exact cost of living for women workers in St. Louis. The committee has requested the women secretaries of different organiza- tions who volunteered their own testi- mony as to the cost of living to as- sist in finding girls for witnesses who actually must live on their wages, with- out the help of any friend or relative. The organizations failed to give the committee the desired aid, and Ser- geant-at-Arms Brogan has been instructed to make diligent search for girls “adrift,” so that the committee may get some first-hand information be- fore it leaves St. Louis. The committee will hold hearings tr St. Louis from Tuesday probably until Friday, and then probably will adjourn for a week and resume the inquiry in Kansas City about the second week in June. The out-of-town members of the committee, including Lieutenant-Gover- nor Painter, went home Friday night vr Saturday. OPPOSES BARS IN DANCE HALLS Chicago Social Worker Says “Bums”? Drink There and Meet Innocent Girls. CHICAGO, May 2%.—Economic condi- tions or low wages are responsible for not more than 12 per cent of all cases of, the opinion. of Prof. Graham Taylor, head of the Chicago Commons Social Settlement, who was a witness today be- fore the O’Hara Minimum Wage Com- mission of the State Senate. “This commission could do no more valuable work than to recommend the abolition of the bar permit to the public dance hall,”’ said Prof. Taylor. ‘The sa- loons are closed at 1 o’clock. Then all the bums are turned out to continue their drinking until 8 o’clock in the dance halls. There they come in con- tact with innocent young girls and take them home.’’ Prof. Taylor said that he had investi- gated the life stories of 2420 women and girls “implicated in the social evil.’’ He advanced a long list of causes as to why girls gO wrong. E. C. Jones, president of the United States Broom and Brush Co., which em- ploys 68 women, told the commission that he thought $7.50 would be a fair minimum wage for women. He said all the workers at his plant are paid by the piece system and that the women average from $5 to $12 per week, accord- ing to their skill. COURT SEEKS REVIEW OF ITS GOMPERS RULING Asks Supreme Body to Pass on Reduction of Sentences of Three Labor Leaders. WASHINGTON, May 2%.—The District Supreme Court here, which originally sentenced Samuel Gompers, John Mitch- ell and Frank Morrison, labor leaders, to jail for contempt of court, filed a petition with the Supreme Court of the United States today asking the highest tribunal to review the decision of the District Court of Appeals which affirm- ed the conviction of the three men, but re duced their sentences. At the same time the high court had under consideration another application of the review of & writ of error pre- sented by attorneys for the convicted men. Gompers originally was sentenced to 12 months, Mitchell to nine, an@ Morrison to six. The District Court of Appeals af- firmed the conviction, and reduced Gom- pers’ sentence to 80 days and Mitchell’s and Morrison’s to a fine of $600 each. District ae Says Proceeding Is Busta United States District Attorney Houts told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the action of the District reme Court in asking the Supreme Curt to review the decision of the Court of Appeals seemed to be unusual, but that under some of the special laws governing the Courts of the District of Columbia there might be authority for it. guoh procedure would be most unusual in the Federal! courts eutside of the District of Colum- bia, he said. pOONVELUE. fot, Way S_Tott w.

% ? DELEGATES AND PASS TAX MEASURE Gallagher and Others Start Move to Admit O’Neill of First and Maloney of Sev- enth, Democratic Contes- tants, Without the For- mality of a Hearing. PLAN TO TAKE UP VETOED BILL AGAIN Counsel for Contested Mem- bers Waiting at Jefferson City to Fight Effort to En- tertain Contest Proceed- ings. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 2%— Attorney George B. Webster of St. Louis is here this morning waiting for Sam B. Jefferies to appear to file the application for the writ of prohibition against Judges Fisher and Grimm to prohibit them from enforcing their in- | junction against the House of Delegates t* prevent it from entertaining contest proceedings against two of its Repub- lican members. Webster represents the contested Re- publican members. He says he will -e- sist the issuance of the prohibition writ with vigor. Judge Selden P. Spencer telephoned Clerk Allen of the Supreme Court that he has prepared a memorandum in op- position to the issuance of the writ and that it will reach the court on the 12:25 train, Webster says he does not see how the issuance of a temporary writ of prohi- bition would help the Democrats, for thé reason that the House of Delegates must certify out the tar rate at 5 o'clock this afternoon to the Assessor. The only way Court’s order could be gotten there by: that time is by specia! train. Final efforts to reconsider and pass the tax increase bill over Mayor Kiel’s veto will be made at a special meeting of the House of Delegates this after- noon. Realizing that they cannot muster the 19 votes, or the necessary two-thirds ma- jority, to make the measure a law with- out the Mayor’s approval, Delegate James J. Gallagher and several of his associates took steps looking to the un- seating of two Republican Delegates, - Klose of the First Ward and Grierson of the Seventeenth. As. a preliminary to this move, Gal- lagher conferred with Jeptha D. Howe, attorney of the Southern Traction Co., and Sam B. ‘Jeffries, former Assistant Attorney-General, for, the purpose of in- stituting before the Supreme Court at Jefferson City proceedings to restrain the St. Louis Circuit Court from en- forcing injunctions issued to Klose and Grierson three weeks ago. The contestants, whom the Gallagher forces want to seat without the for- mality of a hearing, are Patrick O’Neill of the First Ward and John Maloney of the Seventh, both of whom were beaten several hundred votes on the face of the returns. Gallagher’s plan to revenge the opposition to the tax measure is regarded by the Republicans as a huge bluff. Delegate John R. McCarthy of the Sixteenth Ward, who usually counsels with Gallagher, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that he knew nothing of the proposed court proceedings except what he had read in the newspapers. “Do you favor throwing out the Re- publican delegates for the purpose of getting enaugh votes to pass the tax bill?’ McCarthy was asked. “I can’t say whether I do or not,” he replied. “Have you talked to Gallagher and other members about the matter?’ “Not a word. If anything has been done in this respect it has been without my knowledge. The House will meet in . the afternoon and the tax bill may or may not be taken up at that time. -Nothing is certain just now.” ‘The tax increase bill received 17 ‘votes at Friday night's meeting of the House, including Brokaw, Republican of the Twenty-eighth Ward. It is understood, however, that if summary action should be taken against any Republican dele- gate Brokaw will stand with his party leaders and vote against the tax raise bill. Rowe's Activity Rest nted. The interference of Jeptha D. former boss of the local Republican or- ganization, in the affairs of the Demo- cratic majority of the House of Del- gates is pointed to by the Republicans as one reason for their antipathy to the tax increase bill. Even though the Democrats obtained the requisite votes to put the tax bill over the Mayor's veto, both City Coun- selor Baird and Comptroller Player would refuse to recognize the action of the House as legal. The City.Counselor already has ruled that the tax increase bill cannot be reconsidered. His opin- ion is based on: Section 2, article 8 of the City Charter, providing that whet a bill is returned to the Municipal As- sembly, without the Mayor’s approval, the bill stands as reconsidered. Present Rate Said to Stand. Comptroller Player will be advised by » * iy re ‘ 4 , e row “> ean = a - Sry = ? ee eS fee ee 4 rz a So ee eget tee eee Soa ao - es pS on .

BOSTON, May 2.—Mrs. Mary Gara- bedian said her bath at the Cambridge Field public bath house cost her $108.02. “TIT went to the bath house and paid 2 cents for a piece of soap and a towel,’’ she explained. “Instead of giving my valuables to the clerk, I hid them in one of my shoes, placing there $78 in bills, a $5 gold piece and a diamond ring valued at $25.

Thompson of 3850 ‘Greer avenue, who last June divorced Charlies M. Donovan after she had ‘| been dismissed as a teacher in the O’Falion school for having married, Sunday evering became the bride of Charles E. Pagett of Atlanta, Ga. Since her divorce from Donovan, Miss Thompson had spent most of her time traveling and the news of her approaching, second marriage did not reach Ported until a few days ago when ehe wrote her mother, Mrs. Sherry G. Thompson, a_ wealthy widow, that she was betrothed to Pagett. n November, 1911, Miss Thompson, then a teacher, fell in love with Don- ovan, a musician, who previously had divorced Mrs. Seibel O’Brien Donovan, They eloped to St. Charles and were cit quietly by a Justice of the Pea Returning to her mother’s home, Mrs. Donovan continued teaching under the name of ‘“‘Miss Thompson,’’ and her mat- rimonial venture did not become known until near the close. of the school term when Donovan’s mother put in a claim | against the couple for a board bill. They had been living at her house several months and she presented her claim to Assistant Superintendent of Schools Col- lins. The rules of the School Board require that teachers must be unmarried, and the result of the elder Mrs. Donovan's claim was the dismissal of her daughter- in-law from the service. Later Mrs. Glorine Donovan obtained a divorce on grounds of nonsupport. Mrs. Pagett is 20 years old. She grad- uated frem Yeatman High School and the Teachers’ College. She and Donovan became acquainted in their high school days. The second marriage took place Sunday evening at St. Charles Borromeo Church, and following the ceremony and a quiet bridal supper the couple departed for Pagett’s home in Atlanta.

EL PASO, Tex., May 26.—At daybrea« in Ciudad Juarez .yesterday morning two young men met death at a public execttion. The affair proved to be the chief Sunday attraction for residents of the Mexican border town. The bells were announcing early mass from the tower of the old Spanish mis- sion of Guadalupe. But the townspeo- ple—men, women and children—flocked to a barren spot back of the Federal barracks, where it was announced ths execution would occur. A military band played a funeral march as the tWo fir- ing squads took their places, Backed against the wall stood Antonio Rodriguez and Inicacio Hernandez, pri- vates of the Fourteenth Battalion. They were convicted by courtmartial of plot- ting to instill sedition. Before the 10 executiofters levele1 their rifles, Rodriguez accepted a hand- kerchief over his eyes and cringed at the command “‘fire.”” An officer’s pis- tol was necessary to end his life. Her- nandez, however, refused the execution mask and stoically met his death. EUGENIC MARRIAGE ONLY \Glergymen to Adopt the Rule in ~* Lynn, Mass.

Co. ue, i gE ew York World.) ‘LONDON, May 2.—Walter H. Pag?, the new American Ambassador ,to the Court ofy St. James, wore!a’ smile on his afrival at Euston Railway station in , London, although he evidently war weary -after his journey from New York and the ordeal of interviewing he passed through on landing from the Raltic,: Sunday ‘morning, in Liverpool. He had been met in Liverpool by Trwin B. Laughlin, the secretary of the American Embassy and Charged d’Az- fairs, #nd Horace Lee Washington, the American Consul at Liverpool. Many American flags were flying and people or shore cheered lustily. At the station in London were gath- ered all the rest of the embassy staff, Consul-General Griffith, many members ef the American colony and representa- tives of the railway company and the White Star Line. As Page stepped from the train a “Is it true that you will not wear knee breeches ?’’ Ambassador Page's” smile broadened as, Yankee fashion, he, answered one question with another. “Fool Journalists.” "My dear sir, have you not learned yet that’ ‘one fool journalist at one end of a wire begets another fool journalist at the other end? Please say that we ar- rived in England after a pleasant voy- age.

Ambassador to King George.» He warded off political ques- tions by saying that in political matters he will be guided by. the instructions of his Government. ‘Page had an amusing illustration of the self-righteousness of Englishmen im- mediately on his ‘arrival in Liverpool. He received a large company, of report. ers with smiling affability and said: “I like being badgered by ‘ Liverpool journalists; you are so like New York- ers.”” The Ambassador looked surprised when the press men laughed deprecat- ingly,. One translated the laugh for him by asking: “Aren’t we more veracious?” Page, with true diplomatic tact, nored this exhibition of good taste. answered: pliment.”’ Genial but SEW “he Ambassador was genial, but quite noncommital in his replies to general questions.

Fai- staff's Army, at the Ameri- can League Park. WASHINGTON, May. 2.—Arrayed like Falstaff's army, society leaders, army officers, financial magnates and other men prominent in social and polit- ical circles, appeared today at the American League Baseball Park, to battle on the diamond for the honor of the exclusive Metropolitan Club and the Chevy Chase Club and for the ber- efit of & local hospital. It was the annual game for charity, and society was out in force. A box had been reserved for the use of President Wilson and members of his family and among. the other box holders were Chief Justice’ and Mrs. White, Joseph Leiter, Mr. and Mrs. Pe- ter Goelet Gerry and Mrs. Philip Sher- idan. The Marine Band was on hand to furnish.the music. The two teams had been practicing faithfully for more. than_a week. The Metropolitan players were captained by Henri de Sidour, and the Chevy Chase team was led on the fleld by James Archibald. The players wore their old college baseball. suits and in some “in- stances ugiforms requisitioned from the Jockers of the ‘Weslington team’s club- house, SWEETHEART KILLED AT HER SIDE, GIRL SHOT Wounded ‘Young’ Woman’ Drives Home in Dark With Escort’s Body After Hold-Up.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May %.—President Woodrow Wilson, a sincere believer in the civil service, is having to sit mighty tight on the lid of the classified service to keep it from blowing off. Petition after petition to him to have the bars thrown down and let the Democrats in is coming to Washington. For weeks there have been rumblings from the South and West about the lack of places: for Democrats. Congressmen have been criticised for their seeming indifference toward their supporters. A crisis has been reached. Senator Lee S. Overman of North Carolina is ready to blow the lid off regardless of what fol- lows. He has prepared a- resolution, which, if passed by Congress, would accomplish two things: First, to suspend until March 10, 1917, the order placing fourth-class postmas- ters under the civil service. Second, to remove protection of the civil service from the deputy collectors of internal revenue, consisting of a small army of men. | The greatest protest is frém the South. A citizen of Arkansas came here Satur- day to present a petition signed by about 10,000 persons asking Postmaster- General Burleson to replace all negro mail clerks of the South with white men. Ex-Congressman Richard N. Hackett of North Carolina is here to protest against the appointment of three Re- publicans to fourth-class postoffices in Wilkes County. Hackett charges that Republican postoffice inspectors, who are protected by the civil service, are selecting men of their own party to fill vacancies. Hundreds of protests are coming from every Southern State. President Wilson is not disposed to turn his party into an army of political spoilsmen, but some of his Cabinet mem- bers have begun to realize that there is danger of arousing a bitter feeling in some of the states. ee Stove, Range and Furnace Repairs, A.

WASHINGTON, May 26.—Moving pic- ture theater-goers soon will see Secre- tary of State Bryan transacting business with foreign ministers. stationed in Washington. Fer the enlightenment of the American public as to what is doing in Washington, Bryar ~;ressed into serv- icc a surprised segment of the diplomat- ic corps. Thursday is ‘diplomatic day’ at the State Department. On a recent Thurs- day the diplomatic callers were not con- ducted as promptly as usual into the Secretary’s private office. Their num- bers. increased. The Japanese Ambas- sador, Viscount Chinda, arrived. The Swedish Minister, W. A. F. Ekengren, entered. Several Latin-American Min- isters put in an appearance. Presently Bryan’s vigorous figure and smiling face appeared in the doorway. “Will you folks do me a favor?” he asked. All present acquiesced immediately, wondering what the Secretary of State could desire of a casual assemblage of Ambassadors and Ministers. Their curi- osity was soon satisfied. Bryan ex- plained that a moving picture operator desired to make pictures of the Secre- tary of State receiving his diplomatic callers. Professional Poise Jarred The diplomatists had need of all their professional poise to conceal. the sur- prise which they felt. Self-consciously they were ushered into the Secretary’s office, approached the desk, shook hands, sat down and proceeded to go through the motions of discussing weighty affairs of state. The rattle of the crank of the mo- tion picture camera seemed to put every- one except Bryan at a disadvantage and little diplomatic business actually was discussed. Still there was plenty of action, as there should be for a 200- foot ‘film of ‘‘American Diplomacy in the Making,” or “A Day With Mr. Bryan.” This is believed to be the first in- stance in which the business of diplom- acy has been caught by the motion pic- ture camera.

Avoid Disappointment in Getting Delivery Ninety per cent of their dealers’ orcers are for spring delivery—hence, within a few days, it will be impossible to secure a delivery date for any one of these threc cars. You know the names of these three cars if you are familiar with the automobile market and you know that one of them is the HUDSON, Hence, we cannot impress too strong: ly upon prospective purchasers the necessity of securing a fixed delivery date for their cars. The ‘‘54’’ HUDSON, fully equipped, with speedometer, clock, top, curtains, demountable rims and five-passenger Phaeton body, is $2485. At $1900 you can obtain the contract with the factory, which insures every purchaser of the highest standard of motor car service to be had, and this we cheerfully and rigidly adhere to in our deals with owners.. The Secret of Our Success Any concern’s success grows with the " increasing popularity of the goods it sells. The New HUDSON “Six” rose to a higher point as a sales success than any « 6-cylinder car has ever seen in the same . length of time it has been on the market. | made to retail for $15.

Important Item If you would know the value of dealers’ service in the operation of an automobile, you have but to consult men who have owned several different makes of cars and, if you will talk with any HUDSON owner, you will appre- ciate the value of the type of service we furnish to the owner of an automobile.

This development followed an order from the Attorney-General at Edmon- ton, Alberta, that all principals in the arrangements for Saturday’s fight be arrested and the Northwest Mounted folice were instructed to execute the order immediately. It is understood they will be charged with complicity in manslaughter. Arthur Pelkey, whose blow killed McCarty, who was arrested shortly after the ex-champion’s death on a charge of amnslaughter, Was to be given a preliminary hear- ing in police court at 11 o'clock today, but owing to the decision last night of the physicians who conducted the au- topsy that McCarty’s death resulted from dislocation of the neck and not heart disease as first had been an- nounced it is expected the hearing will be adjourned awaiting the result of the Coroner’s inquest, which was set for 4 p. m. Dr. Moshier, who conducted the autopsy, will lay his findings @efore Coroner Costello's jury and it is ex- pected an early decision will be reached. Burns’ Arena Destroyed. The origin of the fire that late last night destroyed the Burns Arena, where Saturday’s fight was held, has not been learned, but authorities are extending every effort in an endeavor to ascertain whether it was caused by incendaries. The fire was discovered at 11 o'clock, but had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the building. Four deaths were narrowly averted. Wesley Benson, his wife and two chil- dren Were asleep in one corner of the building and they escaped ja@st in time. The building was insured. Clot on McCarty’s Brain. It was stated by physicians that Mc- Carty’s death undoubtedly was caused by the dislocated neck. The heart was found to be sound. A clot on the brain aided in convincing physicians that death was not due to the blow near the heart. Shortly after the contest began Mc- Carty received a sharp jab to the jaw which sent his head back quickly. It did not appear to have caused any pain, and he afterward was on his feet for half a minute. The left to the jaw was followed by Pelkey with a right to the heart re- gion, which caused the spectators to be- lieve the latter blow had brought the knockout. | Physicians believe the dislocation of the neck was not suffered in McCarty’s fall. He fell slowly and did not strike his head.

ROLLA, Mo., May 26.—Daniel Wilson and his 18-year-old son, James Wilson, were placed in jail here today on a charge of killing Emil Lo@ssner, years old, who was found dead in a highway near Rolla Friday afternoon, May 16. Their preliminary hearing be- fore H. B. Perry, Justice of the Peace, has been set for next Monday. The slain man’s son Otto Loessner, 21 years old, also is charged with complicity in the killing. Young Loessner was held in jail a week and then was released on $2500 bond. The information against the Wilsons was filed by R. H. Allen, said to be a Burns detective. Loessner was shot with a rifle. A Springfield’ rifle was found in the Loessner home and a sim- ilar one was taken when Wilson was arrested. An empty shell found near the scene of the killing is said to fit both weapons.

MONDAY QUEEN MARY AND ALEXANDRA SPLIT UN WALES FIANCEE Mother of Prince Wants Rou- manian Princess, Grandmother a Russian Duchess. Copyright, 1948. by Press Pubtishing Co. ew Yor orld. ) LONDON, May 2%.—There has been 2 great rumpus in the royal family of Great Britain over the suggested candi- dates for the hand of the Prince ovf Wales in marriage. Queen Mary ani King George favored the Princess Eliza- beth of Roumania, the handsome daugh- ter of the Crown Prince of that coun- try, who is just 19. It is said-that she has been affianced to Prince Boris vf Bulgaria. She is a second cousin of the Prince of Wales, and is very clever. highly educated and fitted to play the Queen well. Queen Mother Alexandra has been championing the claims of the Grand Duchess Tatiana, her grandniece, wh? is also pretty ‘and talented, but Queen Mary and King George are afraid of the match in view of the Czarina’s unhappy ilinesses. There is quite enough risk of that sort of thing among the Guelphs themselves. It is&very commonly stated in court circles ‘that the widowed Duchess of Fife has developed regrettable eccen- tricities. One is the belief that she is a pauper and cannot afford to keep up a proper establishment or even dress her daughters suitably. Alexandra had practically settled to bring over to En- gland the Grand Duchess Tatiana on » visit this summer, and ‘this was take. as an admission that the match Is afoot. Queen Mary opposed this project and there was acute personal differences. Finally Alexandra had to give way. But she insisted as part of the terms of the surrender that the Prince of Wales, be- fore being called upon to decide, should visit Russia or meet his Russian cousins under Alexandra’s auspices at Copen- rhagen. There was such bad feeling en- gendered between Queen Mary and A!- exandra over this affaif that for months they, never met. Queen Mary’s children are fonder of Alexandra than of anybody and she has an immense influerfte over the Prince of Wales, having secured for him what- ever personal freedom from maternal vigilance he enjoys. —— 6S SFOS SHSHVOHOSE $ :Society RS.

MAN TESTIFIES HE SAW ' LAWYER DROWN WOMAN * Eye-Witness Says It Appeared ’ ‘to Him Gibson Pushed Mrs. Szabo Overboard. NEWBURGH, N. Y., May 26.—When the trial of Burton W. Gibson for tho | murder of Rosa Szabo was resumed in the Supreme Court today, John Min- ‘turn of Greenwood Lake, the only eye- witness of the fatality, was closely ed. On him and medical experts the prosecution largely bases its case. ‘Minturn said he watched the boat con- | taint Gipeon and Mre Szabo at a dis- _ tance of three-eighths of a mile. It ap- to him that Gibson pushed the overboard, then went overboard the other side, swam to the boat, a it and appeared to pull off the jer- + sey of his bathing suit. ‘The prosecution charges that Gibson | @hoked the woman, pushed her over- ' board, jumped overboard from the op- posite side of the boat, upset it and _ tore off his jersey to make it appear ‘he had lost part of his suit in a | to save the woman.

ANDREW’S CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFICIAL REQUESTS THAT FRIEDMANN'S WORK BE STOPPED Health Officer of Port Would Suspend Administering of Serum in New York City. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 26.—Dr. Joseph J. O’Connell, State Health Officer of the Port of New York, sent a letter today to Health Commissioner Lederic requesting him to submit to the Board of Health at its next meeting a resol:i- tion prohibiting the administration oi the Friedmann treatment for tubercu- losis in New York, “until such time as those interested affirmatively in its administration shall notify the Health Department of its innocuous charac- ter.”’ “The reports of thé investigator of your department,” reads the ietter, ‘‘whose peculiar experience with tuber- culosis gives his reports a compelling force, are all to the effect that the dan- gers which might be apprehended in such a form of treatment, are actuallv present therein. He finds that the pa- tients subjected to this treatment hav:> not improved, but have lost ground t») an extent greater than might be ex- pected from the natural ravages of the disease. “He finds that where the tuberculosis condition had affected one side prior to inoculation with the serum there was after such inoculation an unnat- urally rapid development of the tuber- cular process on the hitherto healthy side, which indicates that the operation of the alleged cure had a tendency to accelerate rather than retard, the proc- ess of the disease. ‘It seems to me that it would be culp- able for us to longer hesitate, and that our duty now is to insist upon such a regulation and supervision of this en- terprise as shall prevent the perpetra- tion upon the public of a dangerous and cruel fraud. We cannot overlook the fact that this treatment has been ex- ploited much after the manner of the exploitation of certain so-called mining securities and other financial schemes from which the credulous public has suffered. be summer months lawn furniture?

The effort of Delegates Gallagher and other Democratic members of the House, in conjunc- tion with Jeptha Howe, promoter of the South- ern Traction Co., to unseat two Republican Dele- gates for the purpose of passing the 10-cent tax \Uincrease bill is the height of folly.

The responsibility that attaches to the exer- cise of the veto power to defeat thé will of the Legislature is emph&sized when it is supplement- ed by the patronage club and the party machine.

(= i i A MILLION POP. SUGGESTION. The Million Population Club grew out of a special movement to increase the population of St. Louis to a million. One of the leading fac- tors in the movement was the Post-Dispatch con- test for the best plan to accomplish this object. The organization has served a good purpose; it has helped to advertise the advantages of St. Louis and has had the enthusiastic support of a number of public-spirited citizens. But concen- tration of organized promotion work is now the chief need of St. Louis. Why not merge the Mil- lion Population Club with the reorganized and expanded Business Men’s League? The objects of the new league are the objects of the club. Population comes with expanding industry and commerce, with better transporta- tion facilities and cheaper rates, with municipal improvements in all directions. To these ends the mind and energy of all St. Louis should join together in co-operative effort. At the meeting of the Million Population Club tonight, would it not be wise to consider the question of merging with the Business Men’s League and thus concentrating and strengthening St. Louis’ promotive power? United St. Louis would be irresistible. (= aS = ns = o- The cities which have shown the greatest im- provement in municipal government are those which, as in the case of those working under commission charters, have got farthest from Mayor Kiel’s spoils system ideal. == — = MR. DRINKWATER’S CAREER. The striking appropriateness of Clerk Louis Drinkwater’s ‘promotion in the Bureau of Navi- _gation is made still more pronounced when we consider that it comes by way of compliment to macy and active intercession it is directly due. “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune,” and with Mr. Bryan at his back there is no telling how far Mr. Drinkwater may go. The opportunity to live up to a great name and achieve a brilliant, nay, sparkling aqua pura career was never more prom- ising. We fervently hope that the rise of Mr. Drink- water will never culminate in the title of Colonel with its vivid connotatfon of conviviality, or the corrupting of his beautiful surname to anything like Drunkwater, with its hint of low comedy. We should hardly kngw,what to make of a Col. Drunkwater. Albeit, if Mr. Drinkwater will strict- ly live up to his name, he may drink himself.into the leadership of the Prohibition party and maybe some day into the very presidency of the United States. i i — a Recognition by England and Spain has made Huerta truculent toward the United States, which still looks askance at Madero’s murderer, and perhaps that is the reason Hngland and Spain ac- corded recognition. ‘a — = = OLEAN UP WEHEK. June 2 to 7 will be Clean Up Weok in St. Louis. The movement is to include the schoo] children, boy scouts and all citizens who wish to make St. Louis a Spotless Town,and remove the dangers of filth diseases with the opening of hot weather. New York has had her Clean Up Week, and city authorities and citizens co-operated to make it thorough. Many thousands of dollars were spent and all sorts of refuse and filth that might otherwise have been overlooked was destroyed. Along with the cleaning up of yards and prem- ises, washing of windows and general renovation, new coats of paint are indicated as one of the best means of giving the city a bright, spick and span appearance and reducing the disease-germ population. Clean Up Week should be an annual event, as much as any of the great popular holidays. = = ™ ~~ |S A United Charities organization that devotes 70 per cent of its receipts to its expenses and only 80 per cent to the poor has too striking a resemblance to our metropolitan united trac- tion companies.

To the Mditor of the Post-Dispatch. The adoption of the new charter will depend largely on whether the board is going to give us a sensible revision of the present charter or whether the ideas of the municipal experts will prevail in the board, only to surely fail in the election. Some suggestions: Real civil service for the police and fire de- partments. Municipal Assembly same as at present. City fiscal year to end June 30, same as United States Government, so as to avoid annual tie-up. All city employes to be paid on the 15th and last of each month, with authority to Treasurer in meriterious cases to pay on warrants signed by head of department in which person is em- ployed, said payment not to exceed amount ac- tually earned. Assessor of the Revenue and License Collector to be appointed by the Mayor. The slightest in- vestigation of these two offices will disclose the fact that if these two officers do their full duty they will have no chance of re-election, citus: C. A. Brinkop, one of the squarest the city has ever had, and if they play politics for further political preferment, the city will lose thousands in reve- nue. Make a comparsion of the water rates and License Collector’s office for further proof. District Assessors to be appointed by the As- sessor of the Revenue, and to be changed from one district to another at his pleasure. City working hours (clerical and the like) to be from 9 to 12 and from 12:30 to 4:30 from Mon- day to Saturday inclusive. Twenty days annual leave, and all absence whether one minute or one day to be deducted from same by the time clerk in each department. Twenty-day extension of leave on account of iliness attested by a physician’s certificate. All other leave to be without pay. A READER. Police Field Day. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to thank you on behalf of the Police Department for the editorial which appeared in the issue,of your paper yesterday relative to the annual police field day, June 14. It was indeed very good of you to give us this editorial, and I am sure that the department will appreciate it. The returns have not been as great as we expect- ed, but with an editorial like the one which ap- peared yesterday, I am sure that the final out- come will be all that could be desired. Thanking you again, I am, very truly yours, SAMUEL B. McPHEETERS, President. Working Women’s Wages. To the Hditor of the Post-Dispatch. The cartoon in Wednesday evening’s paper, “What wage should a girl receive to enable her to live,” certainly hit the nail on the head, in my estimation. In reading of the recent investiga- to pay her what she earned and let it go at that, Why isn’t there a wage scale according to skilled and unskilled labor and employes paid according to proficiency, regardless of whatever it is, man or woman, married or single, at home or “adrift”’ Then wages would be placed on a merit basis and if, as many say, women are not as efficient ae men, she would soon be left at home to be sup- ported by father and brothers until some other man came along who wanted her. It would be hard on poor father though, if all the children happened to be girls and some widows with chil- dren. When I hear people say women should not be employed outside of home, it seems to me they have a very narrow view of the matter. There are two good reasons, if no other, why girls should go out to work:. First, it is her right and duty to cultivate any talent with which nature endowed her. If she inherited a brilliant mind from her father it would certainly be laying her “talent away in a napkin” to stay at home and embroider, gossip and shop instead of using it for the good of herself and the world. Second, she may not be needed at home. The family may be poor and not able to support more than one “queen,” It then becomes her duty to gO out to work and if she is bright enough to compete with men, let her receive their compensation. If any men get crowded out let them go out and farm. That is where men are needed badly these days, If any say “all men are not farmers,” I would reply all women are not housekeepers. Dixon, Mo. AN INTERESTED READER. Setting a Bad Example. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the mirror which the Sunday Post-Dispatch recently held before St. Louis society dancers I was interested to observe that a policeman de- tailed to attend one of their tango functions, re- ported that if the dances had been performed in a public dance hall he would have arrested the dancers and that Judge Kimmel gaia if they had been arrested he would have fined them. Why these “ifs?” If these dances are immoral and indecent, they are no less so in a private home or elub, danced by people whom society recognizes ag respectable, than when executed !n @ public dance hall, by anyone. And the contaminating effect is more far-reaching. In these days of investigations and investigat- ing investigators to learn the cause of immoral- ity among our young girls this most prolific of all sources is only lightly touched upon. Young peo- pie see immorality, thinly disguised, sanctioned by society. They hear and see the honor of men and the virtue of Women mocked at and made the subject of low jests in theaters, in picture show “vaudeville,” in popular songs—and all this ap- plauded by presumably respectable people. What conclusion can we expect any but very level-head> ed young people to form, except that honor and virtue are myths which no one takes seriously?

Irom Electric St. Louls. In St. Louis the annual losses which $10,000,000. This sum stands for the eoll- ing, impairment and destruction of lin- ens and wearing apparel, draperics and carpets, goods on exhibition in shops, articles in process of manufacture, and trees, flowers and other vegetation; for the expense of interior and externfor cleaning and painting of buildings; for artificial illumination at hours when the sky is obscured and the air is thickened by smoke and soot, and for coal that is imperfectly consumed in stoves and furnaces. A commission appointed by the City of Chicago asserted on the strength of its careful study of the subject that coal smoke costs every citizen $25.a year for items like those enumerated in the fore- going paragraph. Apparently there Is but one. cure for the tremendous economic waste and in- efficiency ascribable to the use of coal. That is the substitution of electric power for every industrial and domestic pur- pose for which coal is now used. But even if industrial plants alone were eelctrified, the smoke evil would be substantially abated for several months of the year and wholly eliminated for the remainder. In summer and for a short period in the spring and in the autumn, residences contribute practically nothing to the nuisance. DOU BLE-SUBSCRIBED BOND ISSUE. From the New York Herald. Wall street has not lost its sense of humor, since its jokers express surprise at the success of New York City’s $45,- 000,000 bond issue, “half of which was water,” alluding to the proportion of the issue devoted'to construction of the new aqueduct. In view of the condition of the mar- kets for credits, not only in this country but ‘throughout the world, Controller Prendergast is justified in declaring that yesterday's sale of bonds is “satisfac- tory.” While the premium is a trifle smaller than was hoped for, the fact that the is- sue Was subscribed for nearly twice over is evidence of Father Knickerbocker’s popularity and of the growing confi- dence of investors in existing conditions that make for the prosperity of the city and the nation.

' By, PAUL WEST, Author of ‘Just Boy.’’ DIDN’T have a blame ‘thing to read the other day, and I asks Ethel if she had a novel she could lend me the loan of. “My style of ilicheratoor wouldn’t be sufficiently thrillin’ for you,” she says, “and besides, don’t bother m¢. I’m writin’ an important communication. Ask the Boss.” . “Has he got any novels?” I says. “Sure,” she says. Well, the Boss wasent feelin’ so sore on me, seein’ he’d squared it wid the old geezer I'd chucked out of thé office the day be- fore by mistake. -~So I sashays in and tackles him. “Something to read, Bill?” he says, lookin’ up. “Plenty. My lib’ry may be limited,” he says, “owing to an unavoidable deficit in the the ex- checkers,” he says, “but such as it is it represents the very flower, if I may say so, of legal licheratoor,” he says. “You are at liberty to delve among them at your pleasure,” he says, “and much good may it do you.” “Could you recommend any good excitin’ ones?” I says. “Exciting?” he says. “It all de- pends on the state of mind in which you approach these volumes,’’ he says. “Here,” he says, gettin’ up and takin’ one o’ the big books offen the shelf. ot + —S “Good mornin’, Judge!” “Thirty days,’’ I says. © ‘is, for instance, a lI*ttle thing en- titled ‘Jackson on Torts.’ I fear me, Bill, that to you it would furnish as much mental exercise as, let us say, the telephone book.” “Gimme it,” I says, book. I sits down out at me desk and gives it a look-in. Ethel peeks at fhe and says: “Oh, look at him' He thinks he’s a lewyer! Good mornin’, Judge!” “Thirty days,’’ I says. “‘Lemme alone —I’m busy!”’ A couple o’ times the Boss comes out, and when he did I make believe to be readin’ the book: but on the level I never seen sucn bum stuff. Cap Collier had it all over the guy that writ it. But I didn’t want to hurt the Boss’ feelin’s, so when he ast me how I liked it, I says: “‘Great!’’ The last time he come out Ethel says: “Mr. Hadley, would you be so kind as to read this?” She handed him the note and takes the Mindful of her solitary blemish, I re- ferred to ‘embarrassments now almost st an end;’ and ego profoundly did I af- fect myself, that while I wrote that I was weeping, it was really true. Well, when I saw the gertleman again he em- braced me like a brother; ‘your letter vvas a masterpiece,’ he told me; ‘it has done the trick!’ ‘‘Mademoiselle, I do not wish to say who he was, and as you have known many celebrites, and had many love let- ters, you may not guess. But the wom- an was you! And if I had been a bet- ter business man, I should have writ- ten less movingly, for I recognized, even during my inspiretion, that it Was against my interests to reunite him to you. I was an artist; I thrilled your heart, I restored Sou to his armsa—and you had the 2648 francs that would oth- erwise have come to me! Never could I extract another sou from him!” As Tricotrin concluded his painful history, Mile. D’Esterre seemed so much amused that he feared she had entirely missed its pathos. But his misgiving was relieved when she spoke: “Well, I appear to have been expen- sive to you, Monsieur,” she said, “and you have certainly had nothing for your money. Since this revue—which I own that I have merely glanced at—is the apple of your eye, I promise to read it with more attention.’’ A month later “Patatras’’ was pro- duced at La Coupole after all, and no cone applauded ite performance more en- thusiastically than the poet, who sub- sequently went to supper arm-in-arm with its creators. .“Mon vieux,” said the elated pair, “we will not ask again by what means you accomplished this miracle, but let it teach you a lesson. Tonight's expert- ence proves that nothing is beyond your power if you resolve to succeed!” “It proves,” replied Tricatrin, “that D’Esterre’s first fmpression was correct for, between ourselves, my children, ‘Patatras’ is no shakes!” Nevertheless, Lajeunte and Pitou wore laurels in Montmartre; and one is hiappy to say that their fees raised the young collaborators from privation to prosper- ity—thanks to D’Esterre’s attrections —for nearly three weeks. she’d been writin’, and he read it. Then he says: “Well, well! Miss Jackson, accep’ my heartiest congratulations! Did you know about it, Bill?” *“*‘What?” I says. Ethel was blushin’ like a red under shirt. “Why,” he says, “the golden blossom of our establishment is goin’ to leave us,” he says. “Cupid,” he says, “has stung her wid his dart,” he says. ‘‘She’s goin’ to be married!" “Gee!l’ I says. “When do you leave us?’ says, and Ethel says: “At the end of the week,” she says. “We're goin’ to be married Saturday, ‘cause Ed kin get off in the afternoon,” she says, “and we’re goin’ down to the Ozarks for the honeymoon,” she says. the Boss Cc I a “Cupid,” he says,’’ has stung her with his darts.’’ “Then,” the Boss says, ‘“‘I’d better put Stenographer,” he says, ‘‘only it’ll be difficult to for to fill your place,” he says. The Boss gimme the ad. and I stopped to put it in.

HATEVER the cause of Luther McCarty’s death, whether due to a weak heart or dislocated neck, the demise in the ring of the white hope champion reminds us that now is the time to reform an existing evil of neg- lect—that of NOT thoroughly examining the physical condition of all boxers be- fore they enter the arena. With the sole exception of New York, where a commission supervises the sport, physical examinations of boxers are of the most perfunctory sort. The fact that no physician was jable to make a certified report that Luther McCarty had NOT organic heart trouble of a nature to cause his sudden collapse, shows that the physical ingepection at Caigary, prior to a champiunship fight, was a for- mality; if it existed at all, ‘Lax Inspection Here.

McGraw Manager of the Champion Giants. (Copyright, 1913, by John J. Mc- ROM the flock of clubs in the! FE National League a dark horse has shot out into the lead and a team of which nothing was expect- ed, before the race started, is mak- ing threatening gestures toward the pennant. The Philadelphia spurt, to which scant attention was paid at first, is holding up altogether too well for comfort. The Quakers may repeat the trick the Boston Sox pulled last year when nobody thought that team would win the flag until they had it flying at the masthead. The Giants play the Philadelphia club at the Polo Grounds this week, beginning Thursday. The two teams "meet in four games in three days, a double-header being scheduled for Friday, Memorial day. This is our best chance to stop the Quakers now, because immediately afterwards they swing out through the West and en- counter the weaker part of the | League, as it is rated ‘at present. These four games are bound to be pitchers’ battles and a good deal de- pends upon their outcome. The Phila- delphia club has always been a tough one for the Giants to beat, but I be- lieve we will clean up in this series be- cause my team is in better shape right now than it has been so far this season. Quakers Must Be Stopped. The great danger that is threatening the Giants now is from the lead that the Quakers are opening up on the field. If we can hold them to the margin they have attained now the team will break before the heart-wrenching task of set- ting the pace before the end of August. It will tnke a well balanced club to go te the front in April and stay there through October. The Giants had attained a bigger jump last summer than the Philadel- phia boys have now, and they were almost caught fn late August. Per sonally, I prefer' to keep my team merely within striking, distance un- til the Inst couple of months of the race. What breaks the heart of a club is to get in front from the first and stay there through the greater part of the | tTace, and then to watch some other club creep up day by day. It takes all the Grive that a manager can muster to hold his team together under these cir- cumstances. It was this which almost cracked the Giants wide open last sea- gon. The big thing for the Giants is to hold the Phillies just where they are today and not permit them to open up any wider gap than they have so far. It is miy opinion that the Giantd and Pi- rates can do.this. Both have come fast within the last week, although St. Louis suprised my club. The Giants lost their early season games for three reasons—the club fielded +, @id. not hit, and only. one of pitchers was anywhere near The Rube in om, Now. . in shape once more Graw.) . JOHN J. M°GRAW streak wags broken, and he began to let down from the nerve strain. Pitching has been my urgent need and that is why I made the trade with Cin- cinnati last week by which Fromme came to New York. Fromme is a good pitcher, a man who has improved great- ly within the last couple of seasons. He should be better with the Giants than he ever was with Cincinnati since he will have a better ball club behind him. The batting and fielding of the Giants have improved during the last week, and the players have gained more con- fidence in themselves. They have en- tirely lost the notion that the race is going to be a cinch. It took about a month to drive this cinch idea out of the heads of my players. It was the same feeling of self- sufficiency which caused the Ath- letics and Cubs to lose pennants in 1912 ang 1909, respectively. Pirates Were Overconfident. The Pirates had been so highly boosted before the season started that some cf them acquired the idea that the winning of the pennant only meant that their pitchers should go in and shut the other team out, and then they should loaf around until they got a run or two, | Giants Fear Quakers, McGraw Writes Gap Opened by Dooinites Hard to Close New York Team Getting Over Idea Flag Is a Cinch Pirates Are ‘Rounding to Form and Figure to Chal- lenge the Lead of Quakers Before Season’s Close. thing in the early days of the race and the rest of the team became ex- cited at this failure and played very bad ball. Clarke is getting good twirling now, and the Pittsburg team is a dangerous one. Hendrix, Cam- nitz, Robinson and Adams all looked very good against the Giants. The club looks stronger to me this sea- gon than it did last, except behind the bat. Gibson will be out of the game for some time, and he has been the mainstay of the catching staff for years He hurt his knee, so I am told, and will have to carry it in a cast for some time. Kelly caught very bad ball in New York and really lost the long 14-inning game for the Pirates by a bad throw in one of the extra rounds which per- mitted Herzog to score the tying run, Simon is terribly slow behind the bat or anywhere else for that matter. Outside of the catchers the club ts stronger this year. Young Viox, a re- cruit, looks like a good second baseman. He is always ‘“‘crabbing’’ and playing the game, which is what I like about him. He also uses his head and hits hard. Clarke is well supplied with outfield- ers, especially when Hofman gets fit to enter the game regularly, which will be shortly. Mensor is playing good ba! in center now, howevVer. Therefore the Pirates and the Giants still look to be the best teams on paper, but the Phillies are leading, and it is hard to go behind feturns to date. Where I expect to see the Quakers crack, and 1 may be wrong and prob- ably am, is when some regular is laid up, which in very likely to happen. Dooin is: hard up for capable substi- tutes, then who can maintain the fast pace now traveled by the mén in the game. Another’thing is that I believe Dooin’s pitching staff is going beyond its form all at once. What I mean by “all at once’’ is that it is seldom all the best twirlers on a team get at top speed at the same time. When one of .these cracks, Dooin’s biggest asset is gone, because the speed and pitching are keeping the Quakers up. But the pitchers did not show any- S eaeemeianniall Browns Disappoint Big Crowd; Fall to 7th Place by Losing Two Shows HE Browns are up to their old T habits again.

Two games will be played Tuesday, weather permitting. eee eee EEE eee CHICAGO, May 2%.—Manager Huggins of the hustling cards was not disap- pointed this morning when he learnod that there was no chance of play- ing the double-header scheduled for this afternoon at Cub park, The rca- son is that Hug’s pitchers are. not equipped to play bargain matinees just at present, and the Little Manager fain would have the two-for-one shows g£0 over until his curvists are in better shape. He used up Griner, Harmon and Sal- lee in the double-header at Cincinnati Saturday. Then when Steele registered a failure here yesterday he was obliged to call on Sanford Burk, who has dons nothing startling so far this season. However, after one bad round, Burk settléd down and gave great promise Earlier in the season, Hug placed much reliance in Burk, but he has yet ts make good the many nice things said of him. He may come through now, however. Griner Is Hug’s Best Bet. Manager Huggins helieves that when iTar- mon, who is making rapid strides to success, hits his true speed. and Sallee gets over the chills he suffered in Boston, the Cards will be ready to battle the Icaders. For the vres- ent, though, he has only one pitcher xoing good and he’s a recruit-—Dan Griner. Huggins has other reasons to feal picased these days, though, as George Whitted is making good with @ vengeance at short. Should the injury to Arnold Hauser's knee permanently disable the little shortstop, this fellow Whitted will he ;rctained at short. He can hit and is rapidly lcarning ow to field hie new position.

MINUS A FINGER NAIL | + |15-PENT BASEBALL IS HERE, FEDERY LEAGIIE DECLARES Boys of Sixteen and Under Will Be Admitted to Games for This Price. By W. J. O’Connor. Harry Reis, a young pitcher, who “ate” himself out of the National League while a recruit in 1912, under Roger Bresnahan, then Cardinal mana- ger, reappeared in a St. Louis uniform at Federal Park yesterday, and deserved to win a game he lost to Cleveland, 3—1. A few slips by his teammates and their utter inability to hit in the pinches, re- turned Reis a loser. Reis is the gentleman whe paid $4.20 for his breakfast—rather he charged it to the club—at Jackson, Miss., during the spring training trip of 1912.° When Bresnahan lamped Reis’ account, he broke all world’s records writing out an - unconditional release. é “That guy will break the dub in the course of a season,’ quoth Roger, as he handed Harry the blue slip. Jones Gets Three Hits. Jack O'Connor. who never worries how much a man eats, found Reis in or around Pittsburg and signed him. He pitched a very creditable game but the local Fels gouldn’t get going with the stick. They co.- lected only six safe knocks off Bentley of Cleveland and three of these went to “Davy” Jones in left field. Jones began the ninth inning with a wicked double to right, but he couldn’t score as Miller, Hohnhoret and Murphy fell down fiat. The game was well played, the visitors putting over what preved the winning runs in the fourth. Lattimore’s gie, Hariey's sacrifice, Rooney's double a Kirby's singtie © did the work. Reis settied down and pitched uniformly good ball for the rest of the game.
