TWELVE MEN IN lowan Said to Have Lost $18,000 and Missourians a Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, June 4.—That a gang of confidence men, who find their vic- tims at health resorts, have swindled four men within the last four weeks out of approximately $35,000, was devel- oped yesterday when a detective’ agen- cy began an investigation. A. Sever- ance (Kan.) man lost $4200, an Iowa man $18,000 and two Missouri men $10,- 000 and $2000 each, according to detect- ives. The first case was at Excelsior Springs a month ago, where the swin- diers met the man from Severance. Two or three weeks ago the $18,000 swindle occurred. The other two op- erations are said to have been at Hot Springs. The men conducted a_ wire-tapping gZgame, according to a detective. They left Excelsior Springs for the East, he said. The manager of the agency said last night he had pictures of two of the men and information that would lead tv their arrest. Twelve men are in the game, he said. It is the belief of Excelsior Springs of- ficers that there were two gangs. The first is said to have gone to Calgary, Canada, after the first swindle. “IMPRESARIO” LIGHT FORFEITS $800 BOND Actor Who Promised St. Louis Girls Roles in Hamlet Not at Trial. To be or not to be in St. Louis, for his trial Tuesday, was the question which Alexander Light, organizer and star of an amateur performance of Hamlet, de- cided in the negative. “Light has lit out,” was the announce- ment which was made to Judge Koerner by A. M. Frumberg, legal representative u! Light’s bondsman, Chris Schawacker. Tie. went on to explain that an attempt had been made to locate the tragedian in Memphis, where he was last heard from, but that he had apparently melt- ed, thawed or resolved himself into a dew. Schawacker must pay $%0—for Judge Koerner declared Light’s bond forfeited. As in the Avonesque drama, Ophelia was left to sigh in disappointment. She was Miss Helen Weber of 4318 Blair evenue, and she was ready to testify how she had paid Light $100, which was to have been returned to her after a sufficient number of tickets for the per- formance should be sold. Light's ar- rest eame March 11 last, two days be- fore the date set for the show in the Olympic Theater. Another witness was Miss Gladys Gardner of 3821 Westminster place, who was to tread the boards as Queen Ger- trude, and who said she paid Light $25. Eimbezziement by bailee was the charge against Light, whose real name was Alexander Galdzagain. BOY, 14, SLAYER OF HIS FATHER IS EXONERATED Coroner's Jury Finds That Jesse O’Bannon Fired in Self-Defense. HARRISONVILLE, Mo., June %4— Jesse O’Bannon, 14 years old, who shot and killed his father, J. W. O’Bannon, a farmer, last night, near here, was exon- erated by a-Coroner’s jury today. The boy, though brought to Harrison- ville after the shooting, was not locked up and County Prosecutor T. N. Haynes signified at the conclusion of the inquest that no information would be filed against the youth by the State. The inquest brought out evidence tend- ing to show that the elder O'Bannon was quarrelsome and was feared by his wife and two sons and that Jesse fired in self-defense.

Frank Putnam of Houston, Tex., Louis a new may not succeed in giving &t. charter, but he has given St. new hat which has been named “shrimp pbasket.’’ The hat is of heavy Manila straw, with solid brim and porous crown. The holes in the crown. are almost large enough to stick a lead pencil througin. They give the hat the appearance vf a receptacle for sea food. Like the model city charters that Putnam has been telling St. Louisans about, the hat was made in Germany, and, like them, also, it has been widely adopted in Texas. It is 15 inches long, 13 inches wide and 6 inches high. Putnam, who lives at the Rozier Hv- tel, Thirteenth and Olive streets, has been wearing one of the hats ever since straw-hat time began. A few days ag», at the instance of a number of his friends, he ordered a number of them from Houston. Tuesday Tom Barnett, John Murphy and William Marion Reedy had the hardihood to wear them on the street. The sieve lid is not so expensive as a Panama. The retail price in Hous- ton is $3. Louis a the JAPANESE-AMERICAN BAPTIZED WITH FLAG Ar rican Mother and Oriental Fcther Pledged to Teach Son Patriotism and Piety. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 24.—A year ago Roy T. Masuda, a native, of Japan, and Miss Mena Gilbertson, a Minnesota girl, were married by the Rev. G. L. Morrill. Yesterday their two- months-old boy—George Washington Masuda—was consecrated, the Rev. Mr. Morrill officiating. Mr. Morrill was formerly ‘a Baptist minister and does not approve of sprinkling as a form of baptism and the baby was too young for immersion. The parents desired that the Rev. Mr. Mor- rill perform the ceremony. The boy was consecrated, the minister using the Bible and an American flag in the ceremony, pledging the father and mother to teach the youngster patriotism and piety. Morrill recently acquired publicity in an energetic defense of the Japanese people and a criticism of the California alien land bill. He is pastor of the People’s Church. : RAZOR IS NOT A WEAPON Mississippi Court Holds It Is “Implement of. the Toilet.” JACKSON, Miss., June 24.—The Su- preme Court of Mississippi has held that the razor is not a weapon but an “implement of the toilet.” In the case at issue, the conviction of Junius Brown, a negro, for carry- ing concealed weapons was set aside. Money More Attractive Than Muaic. CHICAGO, June 24.—Hundreds of section hands and men employed in construction camps have quit to ac- cept more lucrative jobs in the har- vest fields of Kansas and Oklahoma. Many contractors had anticipated the stampede of their men to the fields and had placed electric pianos and dancing floors in camps, but the scheme has failed.

Is to Be Given a Week to Resign, It Is Said, Before Charges Are Preferred. GHLLASPY FOR SUCCESSOR Commissioner Denies Change Now Is Expected—Young Won’t Quit. iT aneeeteeel The report was revived Tuesday, in political and police circles, that the Po- lice Board would, without further de- lay, ask Chief of Police Young for his resignation. A like report was current several it was CHURCH ADHERENTS LISTED IN CENSUS There Are 275,100 Protestants and 237,273 Catholics, Fed- ‘eration Reports. NEW WAY .OF FIGURING | Official Church Memberships Multiplied by Three—Former Figures Overturned. The church census of St. Louis, the taking of which has been in progress more than a year, was completed Tues- day by the Church Federation of St. LouisMinder the direction of Clair &. Ames, statistical secretary, who had charge of the field forces. The figures weeks ago, but at that time said the board decided to do nothing until it should appear the home rule law. If the home rule law were to go into effect it was be- lieved the present board would leave the matter of any changes to the new body, to be appointed by the Mayor. Now it has been decided that the ref- erendum: does hold up the home ruie matter, and that the home rule law wil! not go into effect until after a vote of the people of the State in November, 1914. Therefore, the present Police Board probably will continue for a year and a half to come. So it is said to be the purpose of the Commissioners to give Young a quiet “tip” that his resignation will be in order. If this ‘‘tip’’ does not produce results within about a week, it is re- ported, charges may be preferred, though it has not appeared what they will be. As a successor to Young, Night Chief C. G. Gillaspy is said to be favored what effect the} referendum petitions were to have on/! will be’ published in the official pub- | lication of the church organization and | will be distributed among the churches '}and religious bodies. The census shows that 76 per cent of the population of St. Louis are church adherents. The figures show 618,528 church adherents in the city. The per- centage is based on a comparison with the United States census figures of 1910, allowing a proportionate rate of in- crease in the last three years, The population of St. Louis as used by the church tabulators is 728,251. 237,273 Are Catholics. The tabuiated figures place the followers of the various religious de- nominations in the following order: Protestants Catholics .. Eastern European churches This does not include the Jewish by a majority of the board. There also has been discussion of the qualifications of Seth Singleton, who was only recent- ly promoted from a lieutenancy to cap- tain. According to one of the Police Com- missioners, who asked that his name be withheld, the resignation of Chief Young is not expected ‘at this time.’’ ‘What will happen later on, I do not know, and am unwilling to predict,” said the Commissioner to a _ Fost-Dis- patch reporter, in discussing the report. ‘Thus far no charges have been pre- ferred against Chief Young, and ynless there is substantial foundation for the change, it is safe to say that Chief Young will not be removed. Naturally, Chief Young has figured in the board's discussion of departmental affairs, but strange to say, outsiders seem to know more about these matters than we do ourselves, “With the suspension of the home- rule police law, which I am sorry to see, the present board will, of course, take steps to improve the. departnient. There will be no politics whatsoever in the board’s actions, so far as I am concerned, and no changes or trans- fers or demotions will be made on po- litical grounds. A new head for the department might be desirable and rt might not. The only thing I can say on the subject now is that talk of Chief Young’s retirement is premature.” Chief Young, when asked by a Post- Dispatch reporter whether any hint of the boards’ reported’ desire had been given to him, said that, so far as he knew, the board was friendly to him. Some of the membera, he saki, have expressed approval of his administre- tion, and none has suggested any itm- portant change in his manner of run- ning the department. He said he had no idea of resigning on his own initiative, and that if the board had any desire for his with- drawal, it had not been made known to him. 5-WEEKS NOSEBLEED CAUSES DEATH OF. MAN Doctor at Marshall, Mo., and St. Louis Physician Unable to | Stop Flow. Five weeks’ continuous nosebleed, in- terrupted only by temporary applica- church members here. The exact num- ber of Jewish adherents could not be obtained accurately by the federation, and an estimate of 60,000 was made by the cominittee, based upon the re- turns of Jewish churches to the last Government church census in 1906. The statement that there are more Protestants than Catholics in St. Louis will. preve particularly interesting - to members of both faiths, Ames. ex- pects. The surprise will be because ah former estimates or censuses arrived at | the total: figures of the two denomina- tions by inaccurate: methods, he said. The United States church census of St. Louis, taken in 1906, gave the city 208,775 Catholics and 89,121 Protestants. The number of members of other de- nominations was estimated at 4143, How Old Figures Were Reached. “In former statistics the tabulation of Catholic churches was based on the ‘number of souls’ in the church,”” Ames said, “‘which included the children. “In arriving at the number of Prot- estants the figures were based only on the actual members registered in the various churches, and did not include children, who attended Sunday schools and members of the family, who occa- @ionally attend church. “In arriving at a correct estimate, jwhich gives the only accurate compari- gon of the strength of both denomina- tions, our tabulators took the “number of souls”-in Protestant families as well as the “namber of souls’ in Catholic churches, and denominated them ‘‘church edherents.” By that means we reached an accurate basis and overturned the former records and estimates by official count,” - In arriving at the number of Protestant edherents, the actual membership of churches was tabulated. Te reach a con- gservative estimate of the “‘number of souls,” which would include Sunday pohool pupils and occasional church at- tendants, the membership was multi- plied by three. The combined actual membership of Protestant churches in St. Louis is 90,138, the figures show. 381 Churches tm City. There are 381 churches in the city, the census shows. All figures are based only on the churches within the citv limits, and do not include churches or memberships in suburban localities. There are 81 Catholic churches and 0 Protestant edifices. The total investment in the church tions, caused the death of Frank Brown, 45 years old, at the Evangelical Deacon- ess Hospital. His funeral was held. Tuesday from the home of his family | in Marshall, Mo. Brown had suffered from various di-} seases of the nasal organs which had | weakened the tissues. Last month a nosebleed began. His physician in Mar- shall was unable to. stop it. Brown ‘buildings is estimated at $10,000,000 by the federation. The report states St. Louis pays more than $1,000,000 annual- ‘ly to the maintenance of the churches, ‘and more than $1,500,000 a year for the 'support of benevolent institutions con- ducted under church auspices. The proportion of church adherents to the population of the city is shown to be greater in St. Louis, than in came to St. Louis and entered the Dea- coness Hospital, where he was under the treatment of Dr. M. A. Goldstein. The method usually followed in such cases is to stop the flow of blood tem- porarily by packing the nose with cot- ton, then to keep the patient perfectly’ quiet. This usually results in a coag- ulation which stops the flow. In Brown's case, this and - other plans! proved unavailing, and he slowly bled to death. Guess, Woman Sleeps Three Weeks.

Escaping from a sanitarium in St. Louis, August. Ostmann, walked 30 miles to his home at Boeschert in St. Charles County and Monday night broke into his home and attacked his wife with a knife and hatchet. Mrs. Ostmann’s brother, heard William Bark- lage, 2) years old, her screams and ran to her assistance, her husband from killing her. Ostmann then went outside the house, without his five children, who were preventing molesting asleep. Stabs Self in Old Wound, He stabbed himself deeply in an open wound in the head, made in a recent operation to restore his reason by re- moving pressure.cm the brain. The doc- tors believe the. UStmann will die from this self-inflicted injury. Mrs. Ostmann, they say, has a chance for recovery. She was cut on the head, face and arms, " The Sheriff was summoned from St. Charles, three miles south of Boeschert, reaching the Ostmann home some time after the attack. He had Ostmann and his wife re- moved to St. Josephine oemnins in St. Charles. Ostmann is 42 years old and ‘iis wife is 32. About six months ago he was committed to the Fulton in- sane asylum, but his father, Henry Ostmann, a wealthy farmer, had him released on a habeas corpus suit. Some time later he was committed to the sanitarium in St. Louis. Mem- bers of his family did not learn how he escaped, Father Doubted Insanity. It is said by neighbors that Ostmann’s father resisted efforts of Mrs. Ostmann to have her husband placed in an asylum. The father, it is stated, be- lieved that his son was sane. Neighbors declare that Ostmann be- gan acting queerly about eight months ago and that at times for long periods he was silent and moody. They say they considered him insane at that time.

Renwick of Fox Oaks,’ Flushing, L. IL, were married yesterday in the Protestant Episcopal Church of 8t.. Luke andthe Epiphany by the Rev. David M. Steele. Their engagement was announced June 3, and the ceremony had-‘‘been sched- uled for July 16. Neither Mrs. Holloway nor Mr. and Mrs. Renwick could: be- seen after the marriage to be asked the cause of the advancement of the wedding date. On Sept. 4 last the ehgagement of Miss Holloway to Charles Chouteau Johnson, a descendant of the St. Louis Chouteau family, Was announced. Their marriage was to have been solemnized the follow- ing November. The breaking of this engagement was not known outside their circle of intimate relatives and friends, until Miss Holloway’s engagement to Renwick was announced. The bride is a’ noted horsewoman, as is her sister, Mrs. William L. Hirst of Haverford. The bridegroom also is well known as a horseman. Charles Chouteau Johnson, to whom Miss Holloway formerly was engaged, is the son of Lieut. David D. Johnson, a retired officer of the United States Army. His* mother was formerly Miss Nanie Chouteau of St. Louis: Their home is at West Port, N. Y., and they have a winter home in» New Orleans. Two years ago they .spent a season in St. Louis, living at the Buckingham Hotel. When young Johnson's engagement t» Miss Holloway was announced it was stated that they would make their home in New Orleans. Johnson was a student at the Univer- sity of Virginia when he met Miss Hol- loway. It was stated, after the break- ing of the engagement, that the chief opposition to the marriage had been be- cause of his youthfulness.

By Associated Press, LONDON, June %.—London society crowded the Probate Court today at the beginning of the suit over the will of the late Sir John Murray Scott. Sir John left nearly $5,000,000 to Lady Sackville of Knole Park, Kent, wife of Baron Sackville, a relative of a former British Minister to Washington. Mal- colm Scott, a brother of Sir John, op- poses probate of the will on the ground thet Baron and Lady Sackville used un- due influence in order to obtain the bulk of the estate. He also contends that a ceficil fer which he has offered $50,000 reward was executed after the drawing of the will €or which the Sackvilles seex probate Codicil Sought f2 Envelope. By order of the Court some time ago am envelope left by Sir John Murray Seott, addressed to Lady Sackville, was ofened, but it has not been disclosed whether it contained the missing codicil. At the opening of the case for Mal- coim Scott today his counsel outlined the general nature of h > case. “The Sackville,”’ rs said, “spent more titan 10 years in obfaining complete as- cendancy and domination over Sir John Beott. The nature of that influence was #uch that, although they were not rela- tives, they induced him to finance them for enormous sums during his lifetime and to leave to them the greater part of his estate of $5,000,000."’ Sir John’s Career Noted. Sir John died on Jan. 17, 1912, after @ most remarkable career. He was the gon of a Scottish docter of very humble position. The doctor chanced to be called in to attend the Marquis of Hertford. The Marquis and his kinsman, Richard Wallace, took a liking to him and Wal- lace appointed Dr. Scott’s son his pri- vate secretary. He served in that capacity for many ears and eventually induced Wallace to present the famous Wallace art col- lection to the British nation, for which service Scott was made a Baronet. Sir John’s fortune was bequeathed te him by Lady Wallace, who left him about $5,000,000 in money and some large properties in France. FRENCH PRESIDENT ON VISIT TO KING GEORGE Poincare Heartily Welcomed in England, Escorted to York liouse by Monarch. LONDON, Jure 24.—The friendly feel- ing between Great Britain and France was manifested today on the arrival in London of President Raymond Poin- care. The French President is to be the guest of King George and the Brit- ish nation unti: June 27. All the newspapers in editorial arti- cles heartily welcomed the French President. President Fotncare arrived off Ports- mouth early this morning. After pass- ing in review of a notable gathering of British war versels, he landed at the dock yard, where he was met by the young Prince of Wales, who, on this occasion of his first important repre- sentative function, displayed great com- posure. The President and the Prince of Wales, after receiving an address of welcome from the civic authorities, departed on the royal train for Lon- don, accompaniecé by a brilliant staff of military and naval officers. King George was waiting at Victoria Station to greet the President. His Majesty, after exchanging a few cor- fial words with his guest, escorted the President t2 Yerk House, which has been placed at his disposal during his stay. They passed through lavishly decorated streets lined by the regi- ments of the Brigade of Guards. Their cayriage was escorted by a regiment of Horse Guards, GETTYSBURG READY FOR -EVEN 50,000 VETERANS Accomodations for 40,000 At Anniversary, but 10,000 More Can Be “ared For. GETTYSEURG, Pa., June 24.— “There will be ample accommodations and plenty of rations for all veterans who come to Gettysburg for the bat- tle anniversary celebration next week, even though the number exceed by 10,000, the original estimate,” was the statement made by officers of the regular army at camp headquarters. “We have over 6000 tents, nearly all af which are now in place,” said one. officer. “Every one is supposed to be large enough to receive 11 men. We have apportioned only eight to each tent. By making it nine we have additional accommodations for 6000 men and we can increase this by an- other 6000 without crowding anyone. It is true that we based our sup- plies on an estimate of 40,000 veter- ens, but the amount is elastic and wan be made to care for many others. Supplies are based on a liberal plan. Every veteran who comes here will get stelter and all the food he needs.” The camp will be fully completed June 29, two days ahead of schedule time, according to Maj. Normoyle, in command, Hn I mg | ALTE MRS. EDDY HELD Woman Excommunicated Says in Book She Is True Christian Science Teacher. OPPOSED TO DIRECTORS ~ Declares Sacred Charge of Pro- mulgating Christ-Mind Heal- ing Is in Her Hands. By Leased Wire Frem the New York Bureau of the np go = gag om NEW YORK, June 24.—Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, who was excommunicaed from the Mother Church of Christ, Sci- entist, in Boston, tn 1908, announces her- self in her new book, entitled ‘Remi- niscences, Sermons and Correspond- ence,” as the true teacher of Christian Science, the spiritual head of the church, as opposed to the directors of the Mother Church. She shows virtually that she regards herself as the person to whom Mrs. Eddy intended the real authority of the church should descend; not as the head of the church in the sense that Mrs. Eddy was and is, but in the sense that her interpretation of Christian Sctence should be accepted rather than the views of the Mother Church directors. Ne Physical Successor. By the traditions of the church there can be but one leader, and she has passed on. There can never be a suc- cessor in the physical sense, but Mrs. Stetson has repeatedly declared that Mrs. Eddy would manifest herself to the faithful. There is no allusion in the book to physical resurrection, which many have been expecting. The spiritual incarna- tion, Mrs. Stetson’s adherents say, has arrived, and this book confirms ft. “Since I resigned from the material organization, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City,” Mrs. Stet- son says, “I have never contended for any personal rights, but have been most vigilant and always at my post of spiritual observation, in defense of genuine Christian Science. “A gacred charge has been intrusted to me by my beloved leader, Mary Baker Eddy, the defense of genuine Christian Science and the spiritual facts of be- ing, against the efforts of the ‘enemy of good.’ The claim of a power opposed to good (malicious animal magnetism) has failed to separate me from my leader and best earthly friend and, through the power of Christ, will utterly and fi- nally fail in preventing me from protect- ing and promulgating the Christ-mind healing, or legitimate, operative, demon- strable Christian Science.” That Mrs. Stetson looks upon herself as the true authority on Mrs. Eddy’s teachings is shown in many ways in the new book. It is further substantiated by the assertion of friends of Mrs. Stet- son, Frieng Explains Mrs. Eddy’s Wish. “Tt was a splendid thing indeed that Mrs. Stetson got out of: the mother church,” one of them said today. “It was Mrs. Eddy’s wish, really, for the founder of Christian Science wanted Mrs. Stetson to develop spiritually and mentally as she could not have done had she remained confined by the material organization and the Board of Directors. “Mrs. Stetson believes Mrs. Eddy fore- saw that it would be better for Mrs. Stetson to be unhampered by material things and to grow in strength and in fullness of understanding as to the meaning of Christian Science. She has indeed risen higher and higher and is closer than anybody else to the Mrs. Eddy who soon will manifest herself to Mrs. Stetson.” Mrs. Stetson’s book, containing 1200 pages, has many things that are taken by her followers to prove that she has the correct understanding of Mrs. Eddy’s doctrine as opposed to the directors of the Boston church and that therefore she should be at the helm of the mother church, REJECTED SUITOR KILLS BRIDE AND PROTECTOR Three Others, Man and Two "omen, Probably Fatally In- jured at Wedding Party.

NEW YORK, June %.-—Pretty and al- ways petted, Mae Sullivan says she can- not be happy, now that the petting and the petter are gone, except she be perched in the lap of luxury, hence her suit for $225,000 of Arthur Hoe'’s money. Charging that Hoe failed to keep a promise to make her his wife, and fur- ther declaring he violated an agreement to give to her a life annuity of $60,000, Miss Sullivan, who is a daughter of the late Patrick H. Sallivan, once Register of Deeds, and prominent in the city’s political life, brought two suits for dam- ages. Arthur Ingersoll Hoe is the son of the late Robert Hoe, printing press manufacturer. “T have every reason to ‘believe that Mr. Hoe will make a settlement ont of gourt,” she said. “It ts simply awful— this publicity. And I want it distinctly understood that Mr. Hoe always acted gentlemanly toward me. There was nev- er anything wrong between us. The only explanation I can give to his strange conduct is that he was desperately in love with me. Started With F lirtation. “T met him one day on the street. It was a flirtation—I confess that. But he acted splendidly and treated me in a perfectly gorgeous manner. Later he proposed marriage and I accepted him. “It was in January, 1912, that he be- gan to give me an allowance of $1000 a week, and he continued this allowance until last February. Soon after we met I bought a $6000 automobile with the money he gave to me. The following April I needed a little extra cash in a hurry oné day and sold the car for $400. Mr. Hoe was very liberal, and I have now in safe deposit $35,000 worth of jew- elry, mostly diamonds, which ¥ bought with money he gave to me. “One day in February, 1912, Mr. Hoe said to me: ‘I’ve got something strange to tell you.’ Then he told me he had.a wife and a child. Naturally I was pret- ty blue. I had his promise to marry me, had placed implicit faith in him. I told him I thought I could demand something for his broken promise. In July, 1912, he offered to give $50,000 a year to me if I would release him from his promise. I signed a paper to that effect, but Mr. Hoe has since broken his part of the contract. When I called him to task, he said he was short of money. He has plenty of money, I understand, and that contract he signed is perfectly good, Can’t Comvince Relatives. “All of this publicity will kill me. I am an Orphan, and my relatives are hor- rified by this occurrence. Of course there is nothéng really wrong, nothing to be horrified over. _ [ama perfectly in- nocent girl, but they won’t believe me.”’ Miss Sullivan, petite and not yet 19, says she met Mr. Hoe months after he had married Evelyn Perry, an actress, who took a college course that she might fit herself for society. Wealthy in her own right, her father having left an estate of upwards of $1,000,000, she had just been graduated from a fash- lonable school and was unfamiliar with the ways of the world. She alleges that upon his protestations of love and declaration that he was unmarried she allowed him to establish her in a hand- some apartment and permitted him to spend at least $1000 a week in main- taining her. |. Although she had been brought up in luxury, the magnificence of the presents showered upon her quité turned her head and she declares she is now en- tirely unfitted to Hve in the manne: she did before she made his acquaint- ance. Hoe, a graduate of ' Harvard Univer- sity, is in his early thirties. He received $5,000,000 under the will of his father. Upon his father’s death, Robert, the elder son, became president of R. Hoe & Co., while Arthur became interested in the steel-inner tube concern. On May 10, 1910, Arthur I. Hoe, then stx years out of Harvard, announced that on the previous April 23 he had been married in Washington to Miss Perry, a chorus girl with “The Rogers Brothers in Ireland” company. ‘The engagement had been of more than a year’s duration and members of the Hoe family attended the wedding. It was in October of 1910 that Miss Sullivan says she first met Hoe. She had been graduated the previous spring from St. Bridget’s Academy. Hoe en~-~ed an apartment for her at 3081 S. enth avenue and she says she did not have to express her wishes to have them gratified: jewels and gowns were lavished upon her. Up to the time his payments ceased she savs his gifts had amounted to between $66,- 000 and $100,000. The proposal of marriage was made, according ,to the complaint, on Dec. 2, 1910, two months after Hoe met the girl. On that day Hoe’ called at Miss Sullivan's apartment, protested his great love for her and, as she tells the story in her papers, declared: “I wish to marry you not later than one year from now. Will you marry me? Are you willing to wait until then for me?”’ Wedding Date Is Put Off, The year was spent preparing for the wedding and she was greatly dis- appointed when, the following Decem- ber, Hoe asked her, she says, to post- pone the ceremony another 12 months. He pleaded that he wished to wait until his father’s estate was settied, or until his own business interests would permit him to take a wife, and she consented. After Mis# Sullivan had been in the Seventh avenue apartment three months she moved to even more elaborate quar- ters in the Norwood, where another three months were passed. After that she moved frequentiy, at times residing at the Hotel Marseilles, Britton Hall jand at various addresses in Riverside lat the time he made ner scqubistasice Be TUNSIAT EV ENING. aU sRE zm, 11S. em me ge rae ae Se ae Re SS a EE NIP PE END cabot haan ete ead ee OT en aman ii cmeniattinanatt i = .hCr”DClcerhlCeeCL,mCUhL ee rrr rrr mh tinal — ae” She investigated and found he lived with his wife and children at 152 West Eighty-sixth street. Next time Hoe appeared in her apart- ment the storm broke, she says. He begged to be forgiven, she continues, and she consented. The plan’ of forgive. ness was said to include the contract by which he agreed to support her the remainder of her life. Under this she asks for $75,000, the’ amount due to date from Feb. 15, 1912. The breach of promise suit is for $150,000. The complainant sets up five reasons why she should receive this in the suit on the alleged contract,. says she is completely estranged from her relatives ad that she had etie jbut her jewels left and is in need of She adds that following her aiscovery that :¢.was married their re- lations “were, of course, much cooler.” support. ae ene SS een —————— - ‘amount, most of which are enumerated f.

LUBSDAY HV ENING, JUNE 24, 1918. *ANTDUST TEN BEAT CUSTOMERS Organization Proposed to Pro- tect Merchants From Persons Who Do Not Pay Bills. St. Louisans who have failed in the past tO pay their coal bills will have to pay cash for their fuel next winter or dance to keep warm. The retail coal men of St. Louis are paving the way for an organization, one of the objects of which will be to prepare a list of what is known in the trade as “dead beats” for general dis- tribution among all the dealers of St. Louis. Whenever anybody on this list applies to any coal merchant for fuel he will be asked to pay in advance. Unless the money is forthcoming he will get no coal, Dealers Say They Suffer. A committee comprised of A. H. Bed- doe of the Breese Trenton Coal Mining Co., A. A, Brewster of the Mount Olive and Staunton Coal Mining Co. and DB. J. Wallace of the Dealers’ Fuel Co. have been appointed to call a meeting of the coal dealers of St. Louis to form ah organization for mutual protection and benefit. who buy coal but forget to pay, the bills. In the past there has been n> system of exchange of information among coal dealers by which the “dead beats” could be made known to all the dealers in the city. They would buy from one dealer one year, another the next, and so on, be- ing able in this way to cut down the cost of their own living, but increasing) the hazard of business for the coal merchant, coal men say. There have been more failures among the coal deal- ers, according to the coal men, than among any other class of tradesmen in St. Louis, largely because, they say, there has been no organization. The decision to organize a coal as- sociation in St. Louis was reached at a banquet and cabaret given at the Missouri Athletic Club by E. J. Wal- lace to celebrate the first year of hi company’s business in St. Louis. About 100 dealers attended, and the discus- sion drifted to the necessity of an organization among the coal dealers, “BEST TENANT” IS DEAD Frederick Aumann who dropped dead in the barnyard of his farm near Col- linsville, Sunday, had been a renter of that farm for 4 years. He was known as ‘“‘Madison County’s best tenant.” Aumannn went to the farm with his young bride in 1868. They reared a family of ten children there. Aumann, although he became wealthy and owned much farm land in the surrounding territory would never desert the rented farm. He was 63 years old. His wife and.seven children are now on the farm which is owned by Judge William x. The coal men say that they have suf- ‘Krone of Edwardsville. : = térad qrectiy from ‘the clans ot people} | Court, Ruling Out $1000 Verdict, Says She Should Sue Only in Case of His Death. If a husband is merely injured instead of being killed, his wife is not entitled to damages for the loss of his “com- pany, comfort and support’ resulting from the accident, according to a deci- sion handed down Tuesday by the St. Louis Court of Appeals. Mrs. Joseph Gambino obtained a ver- dict of $1000 against the Manufacturers’ Coal and Coke Co. in Knox County, Mo. because her husband was so disabled by an accident in the firm’s mines that he was confined to his bed for six monthe. This decision was reversed by the Court of Appeals, which held that as Gambino was not killed, it was his place to ask damages. Had he died, the court held, his wife could properly heave sought compensation at law. The Court of Appeals pointed out that this decision will, not apply to cases of alienation of affections.

St. RELLER IN JUNIOR RACE If Successful Great Sprinter Will Go After the Senior Title Also. - By Clarence F. Lloyd Six athletes will sport the Cherry Diamond of the Missouri Athletic Club in the American Olympic meet gin. Chicago, next month. They: are “among the best athletes in their | specialties in the country. The St. Louis team will be made up as follows: John Patrick Nicholson, high hurdles and broad jump; Guy Kirksey, low . hurdles; Blewett Wagoner, pole vhult; Oliver Reller, sprints; Guthrie Miller, pole vault, ' and Olife Vassar, high jump. There is a possibility that the M. A. C. may miss the services of Wagoner, the sensational pole vaulter of Yale. He has joined the local club but is tarrying in. the East. He had been expected here to compete in the W. A. A. U. meet last Saturday but gent a letter saying he would try to come West in time for the American Olym- pics. He is now in New Haven. ; Relier in Junior 100. Reller, the Cornell student, try for the junior 100-yard dash. If he is successful in this event, of course, he'll also make a bid for the senior championship. Vassar is also entered in the junior division of the high jump. Miller is a Columbia (Mo.) boy, and like Nicholson and Kirksey is a stu- dent at Missouri Miller has been credited with 12 feet 5 inches in the pole vault, although he fell down miserably in last Saturday's meet, chiefly because he wasn't in condi- tion. Word has been reccived by Dr. C. W. Bassett that the junior and senior A. A. U. championships of the Chicago meet have been set July 4 and 6. The junior events are scheduled on the first day while the senior con- tests will be decided on the second. Next on Program Is Swim. With the W. A. A. U. track and field meet a thing of the past, the next event on the local program under the auspices of the M. A. C., is the A. A. U. ten-mile river swim. This is scheduled Labor day. As us- ual, the event will be started at the Chain of Rocks with the Eads Bridge serving as the finishing line. In the meantime, the M. A. C. and other atheletes will have to content themselves with the meets under the auspices of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Columbian A. Cc. and Irish Nationalists. The M. A. C. plans an entry in — event arranged. Country Club Polo — Chicago Men Welinesday CHICAGO, June 24.—Play for the Middle Western polo championship will open this afternoon when teams representing the Kan- sas City Country Club and the Cincinnati! Pole Club meet on the field of the Onwentsia Club at Lake Forest. Handicaps fixed by the American Polo Association give the Mis- sourl team a burden of five goals in today’s contest. Despite its handicap of nine go@s to Cin- cinnati’s four, the Kansas City team is the game's favorite. The lineup is as follows: Cincinnati, Bruce will What! Two Honest Wrestlers? HEN James Russell Lowell inquired in some yards of verse: “What is so rare as a day in June?” he evidently hadn’t con- sidered the merits of the honest wrestling match which, with radium, shares the distinction of being about the rarest thing known today. Or, perhaps mat bouts really were honest, in those days, and the mysteries of the cross, the double-cross, handicap and fake were not known. Today nearly every bout is first scruti- nized with a microscope, then treated to a formaldehyde bath before it is per- mitted to appear in public. There are a few exceptions. The notable one in the, near future should be that between Al Wasem of St. Louis and Champion John Billiter of Toledo, which was arranged | Monday night to take place at the Co- lumbian Athletic Club, July 4. * o . Not in It for Money! ASEM’S record is without a blem- ish. A working boy, he has fought purely for the glory of the thing and worked his way to the front. It is doubt- ful if any of his recent matches has net- ted him as much as $50. And consider- ing the bitter, punishing game wrestling is, when conducted ‘on the level,’’ the sacrifice is greatly to the credit of the young St. Louisan. a s = Wonders Never Cease. HERE is nothing against Billiter. He may have deluded an opponent into thinking he had a chance, but so far as known he has always tried to win. Nat- urally, being champion, he could not af- ford to arrange to be beaten. Thus, the July 4 bout here promises to supply the exceptional spectacle of two mat stars battling in earnest for a world’s championsnip. . col * Wasem’s Victory Accidental. HE men have met before. Billiter threw Wasem in Toledo and threw him here. After losing the first fall in a local match, Wasem won because he threw Billiter on his head off the mat, stunning him and preventing the cham- pion from continuing. . a oo It’s Speed vs. Strength. 4SEM is a greatly improved lad. His speed is a revelation and it is through this factor that he must defeat Billiter. The writer saw them in a loca] match. Although Wasem several times had hammerlocks and other winning holds on the champion, he could not pin him, the near-middleweight strength of Lightweight Billiter’s arms enabling him to wrench free. P Visiting wrestlers who have met both men can’t understand how Billiter could have thrown Al. But to us here, we'll have to be shown before we can under- stand how it’s possible to beat the won- derful strength, capped by experience, ef the champion from Toledo. e ° oe Another Champion Slipping. ‘HAMPION JOHNNY COULON was outpointed, Monday night, in a bout with Frankie Burns at Kenosha, Wis. Burns is the lad who complained bitterly of having been “robbed’’ of the decision by a New Orleans referee in a previous contest with Coulon. The Kenosha fight was a no-decision affair and can have no bearing on the championship. One fight that WILL have a title flavor will be the 20-round affair at Los Angeles, July 29. In this Coulon will undertake to defeat Kid Williams, the up-coming lad from Balti- more, where _— _ Joe Gans. Coulon Is Passing. A*” right here is where one title is going to change hands, according to information passed this way by re- liable critics. Coulon is not the lad he was. He lacks the spirit and punch and he has been fighting shy of the hard game for some time. In Williams he is meeting the unanimous favorite of the Irwin of the Highlanders and filled the reporter full of such ‘impossibilities as these: That Frank Chance was nego- tiating a deal of Midkiff for Mc- Bride. That Ban Johnson was about to quit in favor of Joe O'Brien, That double-headers ne2xt sea- son would be condensed into 15 iznings. Hook, line and sinker the rube went for it and printed it. Careless scissor artists reprinted it.. Part of it even drifted by the grapevine route into the Eastern papers and today the story that Ban Johnson is going to quit his $25,000 a year job for life are heard all over the land. * A Bas the Nutty Stuff! ALK about your oaks from acorns! But then nuts can start all sorts of big yarns. Whenever baseball players, scouts and, sometimes, even managers, catch a green man on the baseball job they delight to stock him with misinformation. Photog- raphers, too, are easy victims, and are often cheated as to the correct names of the men they have photographed. Such misrepresentation is inexcusable. Bésides it’s ruining otherwise perfectly good advertisement. GOLFER JONES FAILS TO SHOW FOR PIEPHO MATCH Charles Jones of the Evanston club of | Kansas City, disappointed Carl Piepho yes- terday when the latter went to. Glen Echo prepared to play off the tie for the low qualifying score honors in the recent Trans- Mississippi tournament. Jones had advised Piepho and the tournament officials that he would be here, but he didn’t enter appear- ance, and also failed to send regrets. Whether Piepho will get the trophy on a forfeit has not yet been decided. CHAMPION GOULON ON DEFENSIVE IN BOUT Wilh BURNS Once Invincible Bantam Was All but Toppled Over ‘in Third Round. KENOSHA, Wis., June 24.—Johnny Coulon, the bantam champion, was held to an even break by Frankie Burns of Jersey City in a fast 10- round bout here last night. Coulon’s ring generalship stood him in good stead several times and at the end of a fiecely contested battle Johnny still retained his title. 7 For the two rounds it looked easy for Coulon, but in the third Burns nearly toppled the champion over with a long left. Again in the fifth Burns had Coulon on the defensive and the crowd yelled for a haymaker to finish the bout. The sixth round was fiercely con- tested with honors even and after that, both men tired badly. Jeanette Bout Declared ‘“‘Fake.’’ MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 24.—Referee Haack stopped the Joe Jeanette-Jeff Clark fight in the middle of the eight round last night at the Phoenix Athletic Club, declaring: the contest a.‘fake.” It was scheduled to go eight rounds. Clark had taken part of the count from what seemed to be a knockdown in the second, sixth and seventh rounds, but was apparently strong in every session. It is charged that last night’s bout was arranged to go the limit in hopes of attracting a return match between the same fighters before a New Orleans club. Britton-Duffy Bout in Doubt. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 24.—Jimmy Duffy and Jack Britton fought 10 terrific rounds before a big crowd at the Queens- berry Athletic Club here last night, and at the end the house was divided as to which was entitled to a shade. The crowd was with Duffy from the start, but Brit- ton fought at top speed, and in the in- fighting and effective blows landed, had al] the better of it. Iuffy’s long left dence all through, ene with it many time Britton forced the fighting, and in the last three rounds Duffy was cut about the nose and mouth. The unbiased spectators conceded Britton a shade. was smartly in evi- he found Britton ——— “Dry’’ Clause in Pirate Contracts Fails to Win Games; Ban Is Lifted By W. J. O’Connor. ASEBALL managers, many of BR whom are superstitious, do funny things in the face of adversity. Now comes Fred Clarke, commander of the Corsairs, who call here tomor- row, and-lifts the temperance ban for the good of the Pirate cause. Clarke, admonished by Owner Drey- fuss, stuck steadfastly the past few years for the anti-booze clause in his players’ contracts, But the anti-booze clause didn’t win ball games 80 Clarke recently promulgated an order rescind- ing this mandate. However, the players may now drink only on & condition: They must drink alone—never in pairs —sort of a Dutch treat. Pirates Have Two Newcomers. The Pirates will show two new players here Wednesday. Outfielder Roy Wood is a former Arkansas U. boy, who won his spurs on the Razorback cinder path and diamond. He was recommended by Coach Hugo Bezdek and has registered a hft, filling Artie Hof- man’s oxfords in center field. Catcher Bob Coleman also is a debutante. He hails from the Davenport (Three-EBye League) team and is doing nicely in the big ring. Gibson has not fully, recovered from the injury he suffered when he collided with the grandstand at Robison Field, while Bill Kelley. the East Side boy, is a cripple. me The Pirates beat Miller Huggins to Pitcher Tim Jordan, the fence-busting first sacker of Toronto, who was 80 eagerly sought by Owner Dreyfuss of the Pirates a year ago. has slowed down to a walk and Manager Joe Kelley now seeks waivers on him. He may land in the American Association. Dick Kinsella, well known hereabouts, stakes his reputation on Rube Schauer, the Superior (Wis.) pitcher who cost the Giants $10,000. Kinsella recommends very few pur- chases, but when he does he’s in earnest. He uncovered Larry Woyle, Art Fletcher, Art Wilson and Grover Hartley for McGraw, and is responsible for Teddy Cather being a Cardinal. Dick hasn’t sponsored many dubs. . Jimmy Burke’s Team Winning. Jimmy Burke, the Goose Hill hero, is work- ing wonders with his Fort Wayne (Central Association) club after being off to a bum Start. He has just finished winning 12 out of 13 games on the road and the spurt has landed his entry in third place. A southpaw pitcher named Gilbert won 10 straight games for Burke. Red Nelson, the knuckle ball hurler, who Started with the Browns and then visited in Philadelphia and Cincinnati, is at last back in the minors. He’s now with the Indian- apolis club and will get a thorough trial with Mike Kelley’s team, which is worse off than the Cardinals for pitchers. oo-

In the four games here, Manager Stovall has shown some remarkably good pitching. He began with a win- ner, Walter Leverenz, in the epener Sunday. Carl Weilman’s game in the windup was good enough to win the average gaine, but he was unfertunate in being opposed by Ed Walsh on one @f Walsh’s good days. Baumgardner again displayed yester- day that he has “something on” the Sox. Hamilton’s mates failed him in the pinch and also contributed their errors when the flaws proved mst costly. But for errors by Brief and Austin in the fifth, which contributed a run, the Browns would have been winners in the final game in nine innings, 3—2. Jinx Has Been Dumped. “Tt looks as if the hoodoo which fol- - towed us all through the Past has finally een shaken,” said Manager Stovall this morning. “At that we should new have ’ three victories and one defeat In the series with the Sox.

By Robert Edgren, A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 4—This week will see one of the best heavyweight bouts of the season. Gunboat Smith meets Boer Rodel Friday night. Six months ago. y would have been regarded as Oke match, At that time Rodel had not made much of a dent in the pugi- listic game. He was an awkward, clumsy-footed fellow with a hard jaw and a mussy way of using his hands. But Rodel has improved a lot. The way he whipped Soldier Kearns a short time ago, just after Kearns had shown some class by knocking out One-Round Tjavis in Buffalo, showed that the Boer will have to be reckoned with. In that fight Rodel walked out and popped a hard left on Kearns’ nose within couple seconds of the first bell. The punch shook Kearns up and took away much of his confidence. Later in the fight Rodel ducked side- stepped the Soldier’s hardest punches. His defense—which he will need when he faces Smith—was very good. He showed a hard left hook that was delivered in a puzzling way. Smith has hig pusasling punches, too—punches that are hard to block or get away from, because they drop in from unusual angles. ; Smith Has the Pusch. Smith is the hardest hitter in the game. The way he dropped Bombardier Wells and the Canadian giant, McKay, reminded the onlookers of Bob Fitzsimmons in his hard-hitting days. Smith and Rodel met a few months ago, Rodel was floored nine times, After send- ing him headlong to the mat three or four times in quick succession, Smith stepped away with an expression of disgust on his Classic features. He didn’t know what was bringing the Boer to his feet again. And in the last two rounds Redel was fighting so hard, and having so much the better of it, that there was some doubt about whe would have been winner in @ fight of longer duration. This time Rodel is confident. He thinks Smith fired his heaviest artillery in the for- mer fight and didn’t do much damage, and that he can begin peppering with that puzzle left of his and make Gunner retire for repairs. “At least,” said Rodel yesterday, “TI can beat him in 10 rounds, even if he goes the distance.”’ Rodel is training at Stratford, near Bridgeport. Smith is at Sharkey’s place at Sheepshead Bay, where Tom used to train for his fights. i COAST FIGHTER CHOICE OVER FRENCH CHAMPION LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 24.—Eddie Campi, the San Francisco bantam, was a@ pronounced favorite today over Charles Ledoux, the French champion, in their scheduled 20-round battle to- night. Ledoux was conceded a chance because of his strength and the posses- sion of a knockout punch, but Campi’s superior cleverness boosted him in the betting. It was predicted that the San Fran- cisco boxer would enter the ring a 2 to 1 favorite. The men will weigh in the neighborhood of 118 pounds. JACK CANNON WILL NOT PLAY IN TENNIS MEET Jack Cannon, the well-known athlete and tennis player of Kansas City, will not com- pete in the Central States tennis champion- ship tournament, which begins on the Triple A courts in Forest Park next Saturday. Can- non was forifier champion. He is now a lawyer and sends word that a big case set for trial next week will prevent his appear- ance in St. Louls. Drummond Jones is the présent singles champion, and with Roland Hoerr holds the Central States doubles title. They will eompete. RICKART WILL DECIDE ON FEDERAL JOB THURSDAY Lioyd H. Rickart, former secretar~ of the Browns, to whom has been offered the po- sition of secretary of the Federal League, has promised to accept or decline Thursday, according to HB. A. Steininger, president of the St. Louls Federal League team. **Rickart’s duties will keep him on the road a good deal,”’ said Mr. Steininger to the Post-Dispatch. ‘He wants a little time to decide Whether he cares to leave St. Louis, but has promised to let us know Thursday.’’ BASEBALL BRIEFS Gavvy Cravath is still murdering the ball for the Phils.

LOUIS OFFICIALS COST CITY $4000 Fe ayor Lambert, Twelve Councilmen and Others Given Expenses to At- tend Municipalities Convention in Buffalo, but Only Two Actually Attended: Sessions, While Others Kept on to New York. — This article on East St. Louis municipal affairs will deal with that ever popular diversion of city officials in practically all the lerger cities of the country, the pleasure jaunt, or junket, of coun- |. ctlmen and city officials at the expense of the taxpayers. _, During the past few years, the East St. Louis Council has taken | § everal such trips, the latest one being in September, 1912, when the League of American Municipalities held its annual mecting im Buf- Yalo, N.Y. The East St. Lowis Council discussed the advisability of attending the meeting in a body, bringing out the fact that the Mayor and members of the Council probably could gain valuable information from attending the sessions of the League, which would be of great assistance to them in conducting the business which had been confided to their care by the taxpayers. ‘he city at that time was approximate- was allowed only six days before the Iy th ty’s departments. mi that if they, che city’s affairs and delighted with + the authority of correcting mistakes in ‘the laws, found out how othef cities were being conducted without going into - | bankruptcy, maybe they could conduct = ; = “a 3 ae Foe ~* b. a a - 4 East St. Louis affairs in the same way. _ So the trip to Buffalo was decided on. According to information furnished to @ Post-Dispatch by a member of the y, those who made the trip were or Charlies S. Lambert, Corporation nsel John L.'Flannigan, City Attor- Wan R. Webb, Bert Sager, repre- .~ «alive of the East St. Louis & Sub- urban Railway Co., and a frequent city hall visitor, and Councilmen J. W. Gav- * in, Tony Hahn, John C. Malinee, Joseph » A. Fansler, Ed Dowling, Leon Priwer, a Ciaus E. Tietje, Ed J. Spiesbach, John > D. Roche, Andrew Rouge, J. M. Sheer and R. H. Huschle. ™% Several were accompanied by their 9,000 behind with the payments of ite rent indebtedness. The Mayor had he 20re or less trouble with several of It was the con- ce 3 of opinion among the Council- as the men in charge change of administration in East St. Louis. The voucher showing this payment is not accompanied by an _ itemized statement, though on it appear in pen- cil! the names of Councilmen Fansler, Degen, Leckel and Runtz. According tv the Post-Dispatch informant, neither Leckel, Runtz nor Degen was in the party which made the trip. No Itemized Statement Made. There is no record which could be found by the investigator which shows how the $4000 was distributed. One member of the party, who was accom- panied by his wife, said that Gerold gave him a check for $200 as his portion of the expense money. ‘He said he was not asked to make an itemized state- ment of his expenses, or even to tell bow much he had spent. The Council record does not contain a record of any report by the two repre- sentatives who remained in Buffalo for the benefit of those who went on to New York, and even after the trip East St. Louis continued to go backward financially, the investment of $4000 fail- ing to produce sufficient information to , F\wives, bringing the number in the party ,enable the administration to climb out A to about 2. Gave Beer to Section Hands. ' The trip as far as Detroit was mado on a special car furnished by the Wa- bash Railroad Co. The car was stocked “with choice liquors and cigars. From ‘Detroit the remainder of the trip was by boat. A member of the party told a Post- Dispatch reporter that few of those on * \the car seemed to care for the liquors, there was an oversupply. As the r was to be abandoned at Detroit, mace a the party sought a means of disposing some of the beer without drinking it. > ‘The train stopped at a small Indiana _ station, where a gang of section men | were at work beside the track. Two ’ eases of beer were unloaded and given . to the section men. The foreman kept | @ promise that he would return the | empty bottles to the Heim Brewery in past St. Louis. Sager, the street railway representa- tive, was host to the entire party at dinner the first evening out from East ‘St Louis. According to the informa- tion of the Post-Dispatch Sager did not ‘Spare expense and every person in the crowd had everything he or she want- ed if it could be obtained. The dinner ec — $50, the man who told about Tpebabien Buffalo, the men in the ie ty registered at. the convention as ‘the duly accredited representatives from t St. Louis to the League of Ameri- Municipalities. _ Only Two Went to Convention. gAfter registering, the delegation held / meeting to determine Means of deriving the greatest amount f benefit from the session. The mat- r was discussed at considerable Jength, and ended with the selection of ICliy Attorney Webb and Councilman Sheer to attend the sessions as repre- itatives of East St. Louis. The other memb of the party, the Post-Dis- was informed, immediately de- for New York and did not re- to Buffalo. hey made the trip back to East St. souls in small groups or singly. They ad departed from East St. Louis Sept. L and there had not a sufficient num- er returned by Sept. 23 for the pres- ; of a quorum at the Council meet- peheduled for that day and none yas held. peue trip cost the taxpayers of East . Louis $4000. 1 ni records of the City Council and Bag Her’s office show that wn. 14, 1918, the Council appropriated 0 to BE. Fred Gerold, City Treasurer, the proper/), of the financial hole. Another interesting instance of the care taken by East St. Louis of the taxpayers’ money is shown in the case of Lester J. Grigsby, Assistant Health CorAmissioner, who obtained a raise in salary for three months, with the con- sent of the Council. The statutes of Illinois require the Council of East St. Louis to pass an ordinance prior to the beginning of each fiscal year fixing the salaries of all of- ficers, and prohibits any change in the salary during the year. Based on this statute, East St. Louis has an ordinance which reads: “The salaries of all officers, clerks and employes of the city shall be deter- mined and fixed by the City Council in the annual appropriation bill of by an ordinance to be passed not later than the 15th day of March in each year.” It has not been the custom of the East St. Louis Council to pass such an ordi- nance as is required by this law, but it has usually fixed the salaries of the heads of departments and some of the minor officers. Grigsby is not an officer in the tech- nical sense of the word, but the Council, in its appropriation ordinance passed in January, 1912, designated his office as one of those for which a salary, was fixed, It was placed at $1000 a year. The payrells of the Health Department are indorsed by Dr. L. B. Short, by “G.” Grigsby did much of the detail work of the office. The payrolls for 1912 show that Grigsby received a monthly salary of $83.33, on a basis of $1000 a year. After the end of the year the Health Depart- ment payrolls show Grigsby's salary was creased to $100 a month, or $1200 a year. It remained at that figure until a new appropriation ordinance was passed in March, 1913, when !t returned to $83.33. Grigsby's office is not mentioned in the 1913 ordinance. SPASM, NOT LIGHTNING, KILLED BABY IN ALTON Death in Morning Paper Perturbs Child's Parents. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fisher of Alton were greatly perturbed by a story in a St. Louls morning paper Tuesday, which told of the killing of their 2-weeks-oild baby by lightning Monday evening. The account graphically narrated that the baby was in its grandmother's arm. when there was u« flash and the woman and child were thrown to the floor, the -| baby being killed, although the grand- mother was not injured. The facts are that the Fisher baby was 2 days, not 2 weeks, old and that it died in a spasm Monday morning, an jhour after there had been a slight electrical storm.

Mrs. Meyer, when seen by the report- ers Tuesday, refused to assign a rea- son for the “postponement” of the en- gagement, She said Miss Mather could not be interviewed. “Notice of Postponement.” “We had intended to announce the postponement on our return frem a trip abroad this fall,’”’ said Mrs. Meyer, ‘‘but, in view of the fact that the engagement had been prematurely announced, we decided to follow it as quickly as pos- sible with notice of the postponement.” Mrs. Meyer would tell nothing of the courtship of her niece by Grodzensky and in reply to further questions she gaid: “There is no occasion for saying any more about it.” Grodzensky is a civil engineer and architect. At his home, a young wom, an who said she was his sister, Marie, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that her brother would not be interviewed. “He gave instructions that no news paper men be permitted to see him,” she said. The sister said she — nothing of the postponement of the engagement. All statements, she said, must come from the Meyer family.

NEW YORK, June %4.—With all the marvels that the Imperator boasts, the great Hamburg-American liner and her managers do not meet the views of her crew; not by a far sight. More than 1000 of them held a mass meeting last night and certified that palatial liner is anything but a palace to them. In Imperial Hall, Hoboken, they passed a resolution calling on the officials of the line to relieve conditions which the crew say no human being should be called on to endure. 40 Men in Quarters; Lockers for 4. According to the protest the quarters of the crew are overcrowded and in- sanitary, They say men often have to stand in line for an hour before they can:get to one of the sinks for a wash; that there are at least forty men in some quarters where lockers are pro- vided for only four. Shifts are worked with one hour rest, but the stewards, pantry cooks, trim- mers and firemen say they have no places to rest when the time comes. And then there is the matter of food Sometimes, tt is asserted, the fare is unfit to eat, while the accommodations in the mess are poor. While the ship is in port, the seamen say, they ere asked to work 16 hours a day. They want a nine-hour limit. An- other complaint is that the present rule of the company compelling members of the crew te give 14 days’ notice before quitting the ship is unjust. if Under sg on aw Pry shipped for the round trip, theemen would be guilty of mutiny if they struck. But they say they are within their rights in filing a formal pretest, and they expect some relief before the Imperator sails for Hamburg. The chief engineer ts condemned in the resolutions which will be handed to Capt. Ruser, and a request for humane treatment of the crew is made in the petition.

Corney Sets Prece- dent in Arkansas Tribunal in Case Against Husband. LITTLB ROCK, Ark., June 24.—Mrs. Mary B. Corney, plaintiff in one of the best-known divorce cases ever in the Arkansas courts, appeared as her own attorney in the hearing in the Supreme Court yesterday and today. It was the first time in the history of the Arkansag Supreme Court that @ woman appeared in an argument. Though she had not studied law, and would not be permitted to practice be- fore the Sup me Court, under the laws of Arkan\ s, had she been a grau- uate of a school of law, Mrs, Corney was permitted to make her argument under the section of the Constitution which permits one of the parties in an action at law to be heard. The Corney case is one of the most noted of West Arkansas. Dr. Corney, new a resident of Little Rock, was mar- ried to Mrs; Corney in New York and later moved to Van Buren. The divorce proceedings, which started there, have filled volumes of court reports. BOXER MEETS 2 GIRLS, Bobby Gresha~ Misses Ring in Park and Recovers It by Aid of Police.

Connor. The deposition is that of W. Harry Moore, 2) years old, a hotel clerk of Duluth, Minn., and is filed as evidence in support of the daughter’s claim that her mother is so addicted to drink she cannot safely manage the $200,000 estale left to her by her deceased husband. Moore was until recently clerk of a hotel at French Lick Springs Hotel, where Mrs. Miller, he deposes, was a guest on two occasions early this yeur. Moore testifies that he first knew Mrs. Miller about three years ago, when she and her husband were guests at the In- diana resorc. He also knew her hus- band, who was purchasing agent for the M., K. & T. Railroad in this city. She Paig for Wine Dinner. Mrs. Miller's frst visit to French Lick this year was early in February, on which occasion she wag there a month, the hotel‘clerk says.’ He affirms he was in Mrs. Miller’s company on sev- eral occasions and that one time they went to West Baden together, where an entertainment bill for dinner of from $30 to $40 was run up, he says. At this dinner they orenk four to five quarts of champagne oat $4.50 a quart, he alleges. Asked whether he paid the bill, he an- swered his salary was not such as to justify such expenditure and that Mrs. Miller footed ths dinner bill. At other times he said ne paid the cost of en- tertaining her. The West Baden occa- sion was tae only time the witness would say he had seen her show effects of liquor. Moore further testified that he and the widow discussed getting married and th: : he proposed to her. He said she answered she wanted time to think over the proposition and that she then told him if she married him guardianship proceedings probably would be brought against her. In this event Mrs. Miller said she would marry the deponent at once, he as- serts. She was to move to California and he was to manage her property, he says. Says She Sent Messages. On leaving French Lick Springs this time, Mrs. Miller went to Chicago, the deposition recites. From there Moore asserts she telegraphed to him the fol- lowing message: ‘‘Don’t you care one bit. Answer. Congress Hotel.’’ After- ward she returned to St. Louis and called Moore three times from here by long distance telephone, he asserts. He says she wanted him to come to this city, but he told her he could not get off and for her to return to French Lick. She arrived at French Lick the next night, accompanied by a young women friend from St. Louis, Moore says. On this occasion, he says, he and the widow went walking frequently and SISTERS MARRIED TO BROTHERS LIVE TOGETHER { MRS SAMUEL. EVANS. Double Wedding Result of Boarding House Romance That Began Last Fall. A boarding house romance, which be- gan at 1507 Tower Grove avenue, where Mrs. Mattie Nichols, and her sister, Mrs. Dollie Warren, as proprietors, ac- cepted John W. Evans and his brother, Samuel, as boarders, is being continued at 4317 Shaw avenue, with Mrs. Nichols as the wife of John, and Mrs. Warren as the wife of Samuel. Mrs. Nichols, 21, and Mrs. Warren, 22, came to St. Louis about a year ago to conduct a boarding house. Last October the two brothers went to board with them. The double marriage is the result. dentist, whose wife is suing Mrs. Miller for $100,000 damages for alienating her husband's affections, was at the ort and went horseback riding with Mrs. Miller. ‘Was Gardiner jealous of you on ac- count of Mrs. Miller?’’ Moore was asked, The witness said he could not say that the dentist was jealous, but showed signs of it as he walked past them several times and looked their way when he (the witness) and Mrs. Miller were talking on the hotel veranda. The deposition recites that Mrs. Miller told Moore Gardiner had said she was foolish to think about marrying one as young as Moore, and that Gardiner want- ed to marry her and was trying to.dli- vorce his wife, so he could.

The postponement by the Department of Justice of the Caminetti case at the request of Secretary Wilson so as to allow the Immigration Commis- sioner to be present at his son’s trial was by no means improper in tne circumstances, and the most zealous prosecutor might reasonably have consented to it. The Immigration Commissioner was detained in his office by his superior, and on this account the postponement was sought of the Department of Justice. President Wilson’s com- ment that the postponement appears to have heen granted for a humane reason explains that phase of the case to the satisfaction of reasonable and humane men. Mr. McNab might have sought and would have been entitled to this explanatior when the order to postpone the trial came from the Attorney- General’s office, and the Attorney-General may be criticised for the summary manner in which bis subordinate was ordered without explanation. But in abruptly demanding to be relieved of his post, Mr. McNab is none th» less guilty of a kind of insubordination. Unquestionably the Depart- ment of Justice may use its discretion in deter- mining the course of many cases. It has the right to control and its duty is to control the offices of District Attorneys.

Legislative dress reform, rampant of !ate, cul- minates in the edict of the Rochester (Pa.) City Council proscribing certain apparel including slashed and closely fitting skirts, openwork hosiery and lace, netwurk or otherwise trans- parent waists. This followed the police order of Indianapolis last week, that women who wear the new slashed skirts must also wear a sort of drop curtain effect of lingerie underneath. Without discussing the mere good taste or pro- priety of these extreme cfforts at regulation, they exhibit a pathetic short sight in man-government. Just wait till about 38 more states grant women the vote, a-1 watch the retaliation in kind. In some states no doubt the sisters will vote the pious deacons’ side whislers off. In others men will not be allowed to expose their bald heads im- modestly. Perhaps the ladies in Rochester, Pa., and Indianapolis will vote skirts on the old men —and not inappropriately even so. — —_ = © cai al “Major and I” seem to be getting recognition.

The Senate is urged to incorporate in the in- come tax measure Wisconsin’s splendid plan of exemptions based on the number of children in a family. It is proposed that $500 in income ghall remain untaxed for each child. The measure is statesmanlike. If given effect, it would accord the first recognition in tax matters ever given by a great Government to the important family unit in commonwealths. The “normal tax” of 1 per cent on $500 would amount to $5. A compensation of that sum annually for each child is by no means to be scorned as negligible. It reaches the proportions of a respectable consid- eration in the case of such families as Con Roach’s and Sena‘or O’Gorman’s. Besides, the mere size of the initial Federal subsidy is unim- portant compared with its inauguration of a new anti-race suicide »olicy which may be expected to have a large development when the women vote. And perhaps it should not be forgotten that, for four times $5 the life of one of the en- dangered little fellows may be saved in unhealth- ful seasons, according to the figures of those who administer the Post-Dispatch Ice and. Milk Fund. Grumpy old bachelors will sneer at it as a vicious piece of class legislation, as a runk in- justice, as a ludicrous inconsistency in a bill which aims at taking all privilege out of the revenue laws. The only troublé with it is that it does not go quite far enough. It still places just such selfish, sneering old bachelors on a tax equality with the courageous and praiseworthy man who as yet has no children but has assumed responsi- Seaey for 0 heme. If $500 is a fair exemption for 8 child, how much exemption over the bachelors Mr. Newlywed to have, on whose income the ofa wife has become a fixed charge?

His object is succinctly and clearly defined in the following excerpt from his mes~" sage: The principles upon which we should act are also clear. The country has sought and seen its path in this matter within the last few years—sees it more clearly now than it ever saw it before—much more clearly than when the last legislative proposals on the subject were made. We must have @ currency, not rigid as now, but readily, elastically re- sponsive to the sound credit, the expanding and contracting credits of every-day transac- tions, the normal ebb and flow of personal and corporate dealings. Our banking laws must mobilize reserves; must not permit. the concentration anywhere in a few hands of the monetary resources of the country or their use for speculative purposes in such volume as to hinder or impede or stand in the way of other more legitimate, more fruitful uses. And the control of the system of banking and of issue which our new laavs are to set up must be public, not private, must be vested in the Government itself, so that the banks may be the instruments, not the masters, of business and of individual enterprise and initiative. The intelligent thought of tne country is crystal- lized c1 the necessity of ->form and on the main lines of reform. The measure fathered by the President embodies the vital points upon which there is agreement among those who have given attention to the subject. It substitutes the principle of scientific co-op- eration by which the banks would stand together with common resources in times of stress in- stead of alone engaged in a struggle for individual survival, ) It enables the banks to use good assets as a means of obtaining needed currency and thus Trees them from limitations of bond currency. It frees bank resources and credits from the control of a few masters of finance who have misused it for speculative purposes and releases them for the use of legitimate business. It substitutes regional for central control of reserves and credits. It places the control of currency and the super- vision of reserve associations in the hands of the Government, where it belongs. It breaks Wall street’s domination of the finan- cial resources of the country. control of currency, but they should see sufficient advantage in the proposed plan to lead them to accept it. To the business man whom it offers relief from) harassment and credit restriction in a stringency or at the will of the masters of finance it is the “shadow of a great rock.” . There will be discussion and deliberation. The original bill may be modified, but we believe it supplies sound material for legislation. We be- lieve the good sense of the country will support the President’s appeal for action to free business from the money monopoly, hampering restrictions and stringency ’panics. We predict that within a year there will be a law embodying the fundamental features of the administration’s measure. ‘= = * rw Se The Republicans in Congress are preparing to amuse themsclves with the Caminetti case, but they might just as well go outside and play marbles. EXPERT ADVICE ON THE BRIDGE. Now that Hugh L. Cooper, the master spirit and engineer of the Keokuk water power dam, has practically completed his great work, his genius might be utilized for the benefit of St. Louis. He might be called in as an impartial expert, to ad- vise the Kiel administration on the location of the eastern approach of the municipal bridge— on the entire bridge situation from an engineer- ing standpoint. Mr. Cooper combines the qualities of a man of integrity and high capacity and of an engineer af proven genius. His counsel would not only be valuable to the city, but would have weight with the people. There is reason to believe that his opinion on the bridge problem would be ac- cepted as a final conclusion by the mass of cit- izens, » «A. «A. - — The names of all the members of the combina- tion against Senator Stone would be interesting.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. This is “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” but it will take the brave to ‘keep it free. I have been reading the various arguments for and against a good-sized army for these United States. Nothing is more necessary today in our country. than a well drilled and equipped army of 500,000 men—infantry, cavalry, artillery, navy, engineers, coast artillery, sappers, miners, hospital corps and quartermaster’s department and every other adjunct that is necessary to a The time is com- ing—lI’ve seen it for 10 years—when this will be needed. I have read ridiculous statements from contributors to the daily papers as to what we eould do to any foreign foe. One regiment of trained soldiers can whip and put to flight three regiments of untrained men. You cannot make a perfect soldier in less than eight months, so as te act individually and collectively and intelli- gently with other bodies of men. I had an ex- perience with recruits (or raw material) at New- pert Barracks, Kentucky, in the early part of the war, as drill sergeant, and can give it as my opinion that it takes from 60 to 80 days to perfect them in only preliminary work, before they should be allowed to handle their arms. To perfect them in the use of handling arms properly and efficiently it will take three or four months. About three months more is necessary for the purpose of their acting as parts of regiment, brigade, division, etc. I am not an alarmist and do not think any country can cope with us, but there is nothing like being prepared for any emergency that may come up that would entangle our country ih war, but the watchword should be preparedne@gs on our part if it comes. All civil organizations should adopt our tactics of the regular army for their drills, marching, ete.

What good is it, when not enforced? Like all other laws made by our well-meaning men, they are made but not carried out. So law becomes a mockery to most of the public—a something to be sneered at.

I notice an article on page 10 In your home edition of Thursday the conclusion of which I be- lieve to be erroneous. The Manufacturers’ Rail- way Co. has been operating four and one-half years. I have been informed that on the original blue prints of the bridge and approaches, ante- dating the operations of this company by several years, a turn-out for the southern approach was provided. Further, I am informed that the metal now in place was fabricated with the view of ac- commodating a southern approach. This was all dene prior to the time the outgoing administra- tion invited the Manufacturers’ Railway to a con- ference regarding the use of the bridge. If the southern approach be eliminated from the bridge plans, it would seem that the change would be made for fear the Manufacturers’ Rall- way might use the bridge and thereby provide an element of competition that will be wholly lack- ing if there be but one western approach, and that built directly into the yards of the Terminal Rail- road Association at Eighth and Gratiot streets. All friends of the Terminal Railroad Associa- tion can quite agree with Mr. McCarthy in his conclusions. His statement means that the city, having built an approach to the Terminal Rall- road Association, has fulfilled the mission of a free bridge; and if the structure is to be used for competitive purposes, any road desiring to create that competition must go to the expense of build- ing for itself what the city has graciously given to the Terminal Railroad Association.

' Prowling around in the hills and the woods in search of diversion at this time of year, we discover what- may be termed summer railroading. The same railroading goes on the year round, but it is only gn summer that we see anything of it. Through the rest of the year we travel the beaten track, where there are fine roadbeds, fast trains, liveried crews and first-class wrecks. Fresh from all this, it takes us a little ‘while to accustom ourselves to some of the oddities of summer railroading. We are amused by the somewhat desultory nature of the service. The small but wonderfully complex trains interest us. We are conscious of the tea-kettle like engine. The merest discipline impresses us as a long series of petty little tyran- nies upon the part of the management or the conductor. We discover why cowcatchers are used, for in summer railroading there are cows. We learn all about torpedoes and train signals, for there is only one track on summer rail- roads, and that is not often clear. We get a good look at the engineer, who frequently walks around the train to see what is holding it. We lear all about the funny little fines and penal- ties which attach on one-horse railrodds to the popular ignorance of how to buy summer railroad tickets. We get to know the brakeman, and learn what a hard, empty lot is his. We are brought to realize what it coste to maintain a ee pata. “Why are we fighting the Moros?” “{ don't think we are fighting them. As nearly as I can make merely trying to make them stand while we receiver, and what a terrible time the verage little railroad has doing it. We find out what big railroads do with their old engines and old cars. \ Still, summer railroading ‘has one great compensation: It ig delightfully safe. Speed is impossible. The engines can’t make it, nor can the roadbeds stand it. Therefore, one travels slowly, and, thank Heaven, always gets there alive. That is the great thing about summer railroading—you have the ex- perience, and still live to relate it. | JUNE 2, Ten days now till little Willie Loads an old tomato can And gives up his young life gladly As a warning to Japan. The psychology of John J. McGraw’r success as a baseball manager is not so hard. He sets himself a task for the week in his regular Monday letter to the newspapers, and then goes out and performs it so he will not discredit himself for the following Monday. Col.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A German scientist—it is amazing that nearly all the amazing things come from German scientists—says he has discov- ered that trees have eyes and see. Not only trees, but all vegetable life: the grass, the orchid, the onion, the ragweed and the Easter lily. The epidermic celis of the leaves, ac- cording to this German discoverer, are merely 80 Many convex lenses which record visual impressions much as do the facets of an insect’s eye.

There is a difference of opinion among local bankers as to extent to which the pending currency legisla- tion has been a money market factor, but there seems to be no doubt that it has been a somewhat repressing ,jinfluence to a certain extent. It can- not be said that business has openly been restricted, because .of the ac- knowledged defects of the currency System, but surely there has been lit- tle incentive toward expansion. As a central reserve point St. Louis has naturally falt this situation to a con- siderable extent. Interest rates today were un- changed at 6 to 6% per cent for three and four months’: maturities.
