Olive—6600 — Central | est more eas i REMOVED BY FAST 7 LOUIS MAYOR Chamberlain Takes Vigorous Ac- tion Against Comptroller Whose NEGLIGENCE, HE CHARGES _ Official Under Fire Says He Will Not Quit; Asserts Other Of- fices Have Like Records. Comptroller Rodenberger turned over his office Saturday at 2:20 p. m. to W. W. Kimball, a clerk in his of- fice, whom Mayor Chamberlin had appointed Acting Comptroller. The ousting of Rodenberger followed the service of a motice by Chamberlin on . Reodenberger that he had been re- moved for failure to properly safe- muard the city records. A written request for his resignation was served Saturday on Comptroller William R. Rodenberger of East St. Louls by Mayor Chamberlin. Rodenber- wer, in a statement given out half an hour before, said that he would not resign, and that he would not give up hig office unless he is forced out. Fri- ‘day Rodenberger told a Post-Dispatch reporter he intended to resign. . Chamberlin said that Rodenberger told him that he did not want to hold the office, if Chamberlin wanted him to aet out. The Mayor said that he told Rodenberger that he wanted his resig- nation, and that Rodenberger told him to send a written notice to him. The request for Rodenberger’s res- ignetion follows the disappearance of five volumes of municipal records es- sential to the present East St. Loyis graft investigation from the vaults in the Comptroller's office. Roden- berger asserted that he noticed the loss of the records last Tuesday when he returned from a vacation, and that he had been making a search for them since. | 7 Notice Calling for Resignativun. The notice served on Rodenberger said: “My Dear Mr. Rodenberger i—In the ~ ight of recent. dev _ short of the very extreme of caution * ghould have been exercised to safe- guard every record in your care, and the failure to exercise such extraordi-. nary .vigilance causing the loss of certain, of the city’s records is too grave an omission to be overlooked. I therefore request that you tender your resignation, effective at once.” Mayor Chamberlain said that he would take immed{ate steps to oust Rodenberg er if.he fallad“to tender his resignation, and t expects to have him out of office before the day is over. He called Corporation Counsel Baxter into con- ference before noon to discuss means of either forcing Rodenberger to resign or to appoint his successor and oust him from the office. A patrolman assigned at the request of the Mayor guarded the vaults in the Comptrolier’s office ail night Friday, and one was on guard Saturday. The Mayor has directed the police depart- -ment.to make a rigid search for the ' missing records. Rodenberger was not appointed by Mayor Chamberlin, but holds office because his successor has not been appointed and qualified. He was ap- pointed in the Lambert administra- tion. There is grave doubt whether Mayor Chamberlin can appoint hig successor and have him confirmed by the City Council because a majority of the Council is believed to favor Rodenberger. , The Mayor said Saturday that if the Counclfl will not confirm a new eppointee he believes a way may be found to suspend Rodenberger tem- porarily, and appoint a successor to act, pending the suspension, and that later Rodenberger permanently may be ousted. Rodenberger’s statement follows: “@ix*record books were removed from the vaults in the Comptroller's office Pes Seana my knowledge, some time during pr. past month.

The indictment was found in ey but Arbuckle was out of the city, and did not return until Friday. C. Orrick Bishop, Assistant Circuit Attorney, said Saturday that the complaint against Arbuckle is made by Alejo Arechedena of Tehuacan, Mexico, a dealer in hats and other goods. Bishop said that Arechedena came to St. Louis in July and showed him let- ters from Arbuckle, admitting that he had collected $3820 for the Mexican, who alleged that Arbuckle refused to turn over the money. The transaction in which the meney was involved, Bishop said, was a sale of hats to Roy T. Langenberger, who, with W. J, Baggerman and Otto Karbe, appeared before the grand jury. Released on Surety Bond. Arbuckle was released under a bond 27f $1500 furnished by the Equitable Surety Co, Arbuckle is the father of Macklyn Arbuckle, the actor, Arbuckle denies that there was any reason for the charge of embeazzle- ment. ‘‘Because of Arechedena's violation of several contracts,"’ said Arbuckle, “he has caused us the loss of a great deal ot money. He now owes to us more than the amount he claims I have failed te pay him on shipments of Mexican palm hats, which is about $3000. This amount I have. refused to pay because of his violations of contracts, as stated. The charge is based upon a technicality and I shall fight it on the ground that I am justified in withholding payment of thé money,” Arbuekie is wideiy krewna for his keen interest in the affairs of the Latin-American republics and his knowledge eof these countries. He was organizer of the Spanish-Ameri- can Club, the purpose of which is te promote trade relations with. South and Central American nations. IiMmeisan for Treasury Job.

A telephone message that there was a burglar’ in the home of Mrs. Dwight Tredway at 5142 Washington 'boulevara at 2 a. m, Saturday caused a squad of policemen to be sent there and aroused much excitement in the neighborhood. Policemen surrounded the house for nearly two hours, waiting for the: bur- glar to come out, but he didn’t. Mrs. Tredway is out of the city, and her home is in charge of two malids. Hiram. Holladay, 19-year-old son of Mrs. Mary S. Holladay of 6138 Washins- ton boulevard, next door, telephoned for the police. He. said he had seen a dim light in the kitchen of the Treflwayv home and heard somebody walking around. Police Fail te Get Inte House. A police squad under . direction of Lieut. St. John: tried-in vain.to enter the house. There was. no answer to re- peated rings of the doorbell. Leaving half his squad to surround the house, St. John went to the home of Mrs. Tredway’s son, Carlos G..TredwWay; at 6010 Waterman avenue, and induced Tredway to go with him to Mrs. Tred- way’s home. After Tredway had rung the bell sev- eral times one of the maids opened the door. ‘The house was searched, but no trace of a burglar was found.

At the Tredway home Saturday morn- ing a maid opened the door when a Post- Dispatch reporter rang the bell. “There was nothing to that burglar scare, she said. “Everything would have been all right if the neighbors had minded their own business.” SHERIFF IS SHOT DEAD: SLAYER KILLS HIMSELF CHAMPAIGN, I'.; Sept. 6.—Sheriff W. M. Fleming of Moultrie County was shot and instantly killed about 9 o'clock last night when attempting to-arrest Nim- red Huff at Sullivan.

Policeman John Tolly was Te ee ee el i ee o@ for samnult with a corn knife on station “with James Bruce, charged with robbing the Isaac Haas Mercantile Co. and the Levi Goldman Mercantile Co., at 1829. and 1831 Washington avenue, last Sunday night. Burglar Confesses Deed. When Bruce saw Ryan, it reminded him, the police say, that Ryan Had helped on the Washington avenue job, jand he told Sergt. Wade Matthews about it. The police says that Ryan then con- fessed. When Ryan was taken to Bruce’s cell, they greeted each other familiarly. Aft- er a little while Ryan was moved to another cell. Bruce then sent for Mat- thews and said he had forgotten to tell all the particulars of the burgiary. Bruce said he and a pal, who needed money for morphine, picked out the place as easy, because the rear window was ‘soft’’ and there was.a vacant liot near. They were lying in the lot when three young fellows came along aad asked them what they were doing there. They told the newcomers that they were gaing to ‘‘cave” the place. The three young men said they had planned the same thing, and proposed that they either work together or ‘‘draw cuta’”’ to see which should withdraw and leave the others to do the job, and it was decided. that they shouJd work to- gether. Five Suit Cases Filled With Loot. Bruce says they broke in, obtained five suit cases and filled them and car- ried them away. On his statement that he had’ sold several pairs of trousers to Joseph Rothman, a second hand dealer at 806 North Ninth street, Rothman was arrested. Twelve pairs of trousers were found at his place which Bruce says he sold Rothman. Rothman denies this. Ryan, the police say, declared that Bruce and his companion already had broken into the place when Ryan and his two companions came along. He and his two companions, he says, took three sult cases of plunder to a secondhand store at Fifteenth and Morgan streets and! sold it for $1.75. The two firms that were robbed place the value of the goods stolen at $2232.56. They say it included 1500 pairs of trou- sers, safety razors, caps, shoes, etc. In view of the statements of Bruce and Ryan that the five men only carried away five suit cases filled with plunder, the police think that still another gang may have come along and carried away a great deal more than the original fu- sionists.

Ark., Sept. 6.—A generous downpour of rain % today proved a valuable aid’to weary workers among the gmolder- ing ruins of the $6,000,000 conflagration which swept Hot Springs last night. About 55 city bloeks are in ruins. Perfect a pre; vails, however, due to the efforts of 250 citizen-police. , 2500 persons rendered homeless are being cared for and it is probable city authorities will not call for assistance from the State at large, The light and power company has provided emergency facili- ties for the newspapers and other industries to resume operations, but the city will be in darkness for at least 30 days. At a mass meéting today 2 committee was appointed to mect with City Council to provide immediate fire-fighting apparaus and care for the homeless. More than 6000 feet of hose was destroyed last night and many of the local department horses rendered unfit for further duty. Mayor McClendon today praised the efforts of the local and Little Rock fire fighters last night, pointing out that not a fatality occurred and that only four persons were slightly hurt. An incomplete estimate of the loss follows: Park Hotel and furnishings, $500,000. Public Utilities, $350,000 to $400,000. Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Co., $150,000.

Grand avenue, leading from the burned area tothe Fair Grounds, pre- sents a picturesque sight. Hundreds of families, with what little they saved from the ruins, were gathered along the roadway gradually working their way to the camp grounds. The militia will aid these people and guard the devas. tated istrict. There is no danger of watet famine according to the authorities. Eveu if the supply were cut off, there are numerous cold springs throughout the city furnishing sufficient water for all purposes. It was announced that the city will be without electric lights for 60 days. The fire originated at 424 Church street in a two-story frame tene-_ ment building belonging to Capt. C. N. Rix, and was vccupied by a negro named Barnard. The building was known as the Pine Bluff House, ‘ Barnard was sick in bed with a fever and Mrs. Barnard was at the front of the house when the alarm was given. The flames were at the rear of the building. A woman was ironing in the rear room, using a coal stove for heat. Small frame buildings just across the street were left intact, hardly scorched, but the fire spread in every direction. It reached Prospect averfue, destroying some of the finest residences in the city. One of the finest school buildings in the State, the handsome courthouse, the most complete and costly power and light plants in Arkansas, the imposing Park Hotel, which cost more than $500,000 came in the direct path of the flames. : The Ozark Sanitarium eaught at 4:45. For a time it looked as if thix building, with its thickly growing trees as a, protection, would stop the fire from going farther westward, but a big water tower on the premises finally caught and soon the building itself was in flames and the fire swept onward. It went up Olive street to Central, thence northerly to Market, where it. crossed Central avenue, consumed the Bijou rink and the surrounding build- ~ ings before the line of fire crossed Central at Olive.

Tate, 46, ofthe Gallatin District, who had been supplying a pulpit for the last year, applied for entrance to the min- istry on trial, but was rejected because of his “advanced age.”’ Bishop E. E. Hoss,: presiding at the conference, said that when a man gets to be, 46 years old it is unfair to him to take him away from his business and disqualify him for any other calling ex- cept the ministry, when it is likely that in 10 years no congregation would want him. “Why, we begin to talk of superanu- ating our ministers when they are 45,” the Bishop said. ‘‘Then why accept the application of a man 46: and probably add one more soon to the pension list?” The conference will hold special serv- ices Sunday and the Bishop's appoint- ments will be made Monday.

SURETY FOR FINK PROBES DISPOSAL ‘OF $20,000 ESTATE Executor of Schaeffer Holdings Deniés Receipt of Property From Banker. The Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Mary- land, Saturday, began an investigation of Henry J. Fink's affairs in connec- tion with the estate of William Schaef- fer, for which he was conservato-. Charles A. Karsck, executor of the 4s- tate, said Fink had not turned over t> him property of the estate valued at $19,000 to $20,000. The company was Fink's surety as conservator of the estate. The investi- gation was begin by Attorney Fred B. Merrills,: representing the bonding com- pany. ; Under the will of Schaeffer all of his property was bequeathed to his brother, Emil. William Schoeffer died in June, 1911, and Emil died in , eptember, 1912 Lefore the estate of William had been closed. , Attorney August Barthel, who repre- sents many of Fink’s clients, said Sat- urday he had discovered that Fink ap- parently had placed two first mort- gages on the same piece of property in East St. Louis. Peter Hermann of Freeburg loaned $3800 on the property through Fink and a first mortgage for that amount was given to Barthel as trustee. Barthel learned Saturday that subse- quently another mortgage had been placed on the same property to himself as trustee for $4300. Most of the $4300 seemé to have been divided up into $500 notes. Two of these have becn lo- cated in Mascoutah. It is not yet known where the rest were placed. Fink’s office was thronged again Sat- urday by persons. who’ had intrusted their money to his care. They were eager to get information as to whether they were protected in their claims. The Musicians’ Union of Belleville, Sat- urday, investigated Fink’s disposition of a mortgage on which the union had loaned $500. It was found the mortgage had been legally renewed and that the union had tangible security.

JEROME IS DENOUNCED Justice Condemns Him for Fail- ure to Appear on Gambling Charge; Case Continued. By Associated Press. -.MONTREAL, Sept! 6.—An application for bail will be the next move by the lawyers for Harry K. Thaw, who yes- terday succeeded in securing from Jus- tices Cross and Gervais a writ of ha- beas corpus, returnable in Montreal on Sept. 15, and an order preventing the immigration officials from deporting Thaw. The legal contingent from Montreal handling Thaw’s case, accompanied by “Gentleman” Roger Thompson, the chauffeur who drove the rescue car from Matteawan, returned on a special train this morning. While the Thaw lawyers declined to commit themselves, it is thought that they will quietly appear in the Court of King’s Bench either today or Mon- day and make their appeal for bail. In legal circles here the belief is held that the Thaw case is now safely launched on its long trip to the Privy Council. E. Blake Robertson, Assist- ant Superintendent of the Dominion Im- migration Department, who passed through Montreal on his way home to Ottawa, said: ‘‘Thaw will be deported, be sure of that.”’ Pressed for a statement, Attorney La Flamme of the Thaw counsel said: “We licked Jerome and’ there ‘will .be no deportation. That's enough for the present.”’ | ‘Foreign lawyers, foreign sheriffs and ‘foreign bailiffs have hurt the dignity of the British courts of law in the Thaw case,’ said Justice Gervais, one of the Judges who issued the writ of haheas corpus and order prohibiting the immi- sration authorities from deporting Har- ry K. Thaw. “British sovereignty is quite capa- ble of taking care of any person who appeals to our sense of justice,” con- tinued his Lordship. “It is not nec- essary for any lawyer, sheriff, bailiff or any other foreign person to inter- vene in. such a matter. “We are quite capable of looking after any stranger that-is within our midst. Mr. Thaw will appear before the full bench of the Court of Ap- pealS and his case will be threshed out there, according to its merits.” CONCERT BY BAND MARKS DOUBLE VICTORY OF THAW “God Save the King” Played Under His Cell Window While Great Crowd Cheers Him. COATICOOK, Quebec, Sept. 6.— Harry K. Thaw’s lawyers having blocked the plans to deport him and William Travers Jerome having motored quietly away to Norton’s Mills, Vermont, after his arrest yes- terday und release cn $500 bail on a charge of gambling, Coaticook re- sumed its normal state today and Thaw remained, deserted by counsel, in the immigration detention pen over the Grand Trunk Railway station. Jerome's preliminary hearing was set for 9 o’clock this morning before Magistrate McKee, but his counsel arranged to ask to have the ‘hearing continued. Thaw may remain here a day or a week. Not until Sept. 15 is whe to Appear at Montreal before the full King’s Bench, appeal side, on the writ of habeas corpus obtained by his lawyers yesterday. It is op- tional with the immigration authori- ties to move him at once or keep him here until the last moment How Thaw’s Case Now Stands. As matters stand the case of the fugitive slayer is more snarled up than at any time since his escape from Matteawan. Ordered deported for two reasons—entering the Do- minion by stealth and having been an inmate of an insane asylum with- in five years-—his appeal to the Minister of the Interior automatically stayed proceedings. Then came the writ of habeas corpus and the restraining order granted at Montreal. As.a matter of fact, the re- straining order was issued prior to the time the deportation decision was re- turned and it Ii- 1 question whether this does not invalic .e the findings. In anv event, Thaw will have his court hearing and the matter of his deportation, be- leved yesterday morning practically to have been settled, is now so complex as to make forecasts‘*out of the question. The arrival of the writ here last even- Ing on a special train was greeted with wild cheering by the crowd around the railway station. Thaw himself thought it Was returnable at once and had pre- pared to go to Montreal: on a special train. For an hour the crowd waited, then the special whirled away, but Thaw was not on it. It had only his victori- ous lawyers, headed by J. N. Green- shields and N. K. Laflamme. It was they who had obtained the writ and they who had rushed here. E. Blake Robertson, who presided as chairman of'the special board that found Thaw subject to deportation, has gone to Montreal, leaving Agent Whillans in charge. Whillans said today they wouid not attempt to move Thaw until in- structions had been received from the Dominion authorities at Ottawa. Thaw's guards said he slept well last night in spite of the excitement of yee- terday. He retired after the Coaticook band had given a concert beneath his barred windows, playing in conclusion, “God Save the King,” while the throng shouted, “Three cheers for Thaw!’ | Ordinarily the band plays in the park, ! a ee Heald, Frances and Justine Ottofy.

OUSSEAU, the local hotel ~ keeper and one of Jerome's bondsmen, said today that Thaw had told him in all serious- ness that he (Thaw) would have liked to have gone on Jerome’s bond and that he was ready to stand the loss, should the bond at any time be forfeited. but the members could not resist the chance of playing for Thaw before 2 sympathetic and enthusiastic populace. William Travers Jerome, arrested in Coaticook yesterday on a charge of gambling, was bitterly denounced by Justice of the Peace James McKee in his courtroom today. The gray- bearded magistrate was indignant when Jerome’s counsel announced that the New York lawyer could not be present today and asked for an adjournment of the hearing of his gambling case. Justice Denounces Jerome. “TIT want to say,” cried Justice Mc- Kee, banging the table with his fist, “that we intend to prosecute Mr. Jer- ome to the full extent of the law. He cannot come here and play his card games before our children. This may be a suburb town, but we intend to enforce our laws. Our relations with the American Bar are cordial, but jus- tice must be meted out In this case.” The Court then suggested that Jer- ome’s bail be forfeited. “That would only hit two of our citizens who went on it,” said Prose- cutor Hanson. The Justice then said he would let the bail stand. He put the case over until Sept. 11. A crowd of about sixty persons in the courtroom applauded loudly when the Justice criticised Jerome. Jacob Nicoll of Sherbrooke, *Crown Prosecutor for this district and as such, the superior of Joint Prosecutor Hanson, appeared for the defense. In Sherbrooke he aided counsel for New York in their successful flight to get Thaw out of jail. Arriving here last night he characterized Jerome's ar- rest as an outrage. The complainant, Milford Aldrich, a mill hand, who swore that he saw Jerome playing poker near the Grand Trunk Railway station, with several newspaper men was present, ready to testify. Jerome Remains in Vermont. Jerome meantime was at Norton |Mills, Vt., where he went yesterday by automobile after being admitted to bail. He was considering the next move to be made in the Thaw case and for this reason, did not deem it best to return to Coaticook, where feeling against him has been high.

Dr. Ottofy, who ts in New York at- tending a convention of the Assecia- tion of P ive Medicine, has been a leader of the anti-vaccination- ists in the struggle to compel the ad- mission to the schools of children who have not been vaccinated exter- nally. the courts, seeking the elimination of the compulsory vaccination rule, three of Dr. Ottofy’s children were barred from the public schools. As decisions upholding the board rule in- creased, Dr. Ottofy continued his fight and sent the children to a pri- vate school. Decides Upon Vaccination. Mrs. (ttofy sald she had become tired of the long fight and deter- mined to end it insofar as her chil- dren were concerned. When the school authorities last Monday again refused to permit them to enter she decided to have them vaccinated by though they had been vaccinated by the “internal” method, . Ladis Ottofy, 14 years old, expressed satisfaction over the end of the contro- versy.

The view prevails that to receive Za- macona would not conflict with the ie- gotiations conducted by John Lind, President Wilson’s personal envoy to Mexico. Administration officials were inclined to the opinion that if Zamaco- na were received, the parley here would supplement that conducted by Mr. Lind. Gamboa’s disclaimer that verbal as surances had been given to Charge O’Shaugnessy that Huerta would not be a candidate caused no surprise here. It is believed the Mexican officials do not deem it the proper time to make % ifublic announcement of Huerta’s with- drawal, although the’ American Govern- ment, in all its negotiations, is taking that for granted. President Wilson went to the golf links early today. He saw no callers, but occupied himself with a study of the situation. HUERTA’S SLAP AT WILSON RESENTED President and Bryan Both Feel Sting of Offer to Aid Ameri- cans to Quit Mexico. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau ot the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6—The an- nouncement of Provisional President Huerta of Mexico that the Mexican Gov- ernment would financially ald those Americans desiring to leave Mexico who do not possess sufficient funds, has pricked the skin of the administration. Such an attitude on the part of Huerta is regarded as @ Slap at the American Government, and is resented by those who have been the most tolerant in the dealings with Mexican problems. Presi- dent Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan, it was asserted today, both felt the sting of the inference drawn by Huerta that the United States Govern- ment did not regard its citizens in Mex- ico as worth much. No outburst of indignation is expected from the adminigtration as a result of the Huerta slap. According to high of- ficials, the only result will be a deeper feeling against Huerta than has existed in. all quarters except one since he as- sumed office. President Wilson's dislike of Huerta is deep and cannot be made more so by anything Huerta might do.

Comptroller Rodenberger turned over his office Saturday at 2:20 p. m. te W. W. Kimball, a clerk in his of- fice, whom Mayor Chamberlin had appointed Acting Comptrolier. The ousting of Rodenberger followed the service of a motice by Chamberlin on . Redenberger that he had been re- moved for failure to properly safe- smuard the city records. A written request for his resignation was served Saturday on Comptroller Willlam R. Rodenberger of East St. Louls by Mayor Chamberlin. Rodenber- hour before, said that he would not resign, and that he would not give up his office unless he is forced out. Fri- ‘day Rodenberger told a Post-Dispatch reporter he intended to resign. . Chamberlin said that Rodenberger told him that he did not want to hold: the office, if Chamberlin wanted him to get out. The Mayor said that he told Rodenberger that he wanted his resig- nation, and that Rodenberger told him to send a written notice to him. | The request for Rodenberger'’s res- ignation follows the disappearance of five volumes of municipal records es- sential to the present East St. Loyis graft investigation from the vaults in the Comptroller's office, Roden- berger asserted that he noticed the loss of the records last Tuesday when he returned from a vacation, and that he had been making a search for them since.

The police at headquarters were amazed Saturday to learn that a. bur- ‘glary they were investigating was com- ‘mitted by two separate gangs. The sec- ond gang found the first about to begin work and, after a parley, the two forces agreed to combine and divide the loot. The disclosure came when William Ryan of 1918 Hebert street, arrested Sat- urday on a charge of stealing brass from W. A. Sanford of 2912 North Prairie ave- nue, was put into a cell at the Central MAID IS CAUSTIC After Neighbors. Are. Aroused Girl Says People Should Mind Own Business. A telephone message that there was a burglar’ In’ the home’ of Mrs. Dwight Tredway at 5142 Washington boulevara at 2 a. m. Saturday caused a squad of policemen to be sent there and aroused much excitement in. the: neighborhood. Policemen surrounded: the house for nearly two hours, waiting for the bur- glar to come out, but he didn’t. Mrs. Tredway is out of the city, and her home is in charge of two maids. Hiram: Holladay, 19-year-old son of Mrs. Mary S. Holladay of 6138 Washing- ton boulevard, next door, telephoned for the police. He.said he had seen a dim light in the kitchen of the Treflwayv home and heard somebody walking around. Police Fail te Get Into House. A police squad under . direction of Lieut. St. John. tried-in vain-to enter the house. There was no answer to re- peated rings of the doorbell. f Leaving half his squad to surround the house, St. John.went to the home of Mrs. Tredway’s son, Carios G. TredwWay; at 6010: Waterman avenue, and induced Tredway to go with him to Mrs. Tred- way’s home. After Tredway had rung the bell sev- eral times one of the maids opened the door. ‘The house was searched, but no trace of a burglar was found. One of the matds said that-a young man had called on her Friday night, but that he departed at 11 p. m. Maid Criticizes Neighbors. At the Tredway home Saturday morn- ing a maid opened the door when a Post- Dispatch reporter rang the bell. “There was nothing to that burglar scare,”’ she said. “Everything would have been all right if the neighbors had minded their own business." SHERIFF IS SHOT DEAD: SLAYER KILLS HIMSELF CHAMPAIGN, II!.; Sept. 6.—Sheriff W. M. Fleming of Moultrie County was shot and instantly: killed about 9 o'clock last night when attempting to-arrest Nim- red Huff at Sullivan. Huff is wanted e@ for asmault with a corn kuife oe Nora’ Stpe, employe: in the tousehold service of Perry Bland of Sulitvan. | After killing the Sheriff, Huff killed himself. Policenian John Tolly was ‘station with James Bruce, charged with robbing the Isaac Haas Mercantile Co. and the Levi Goldman Mercantile Co., at 1829. and 1331 Washington avenue, last Sunday night. Burglar Confesses Deed. When Bruce saw Ryan, it reminded him, the police say, that Ryan had helped on the Washington avenue job, and he told Sergt. Wade Matthews about it. The police says that Ryan then con- fessed. When Ryan was taken to Bruce’s cell, they greeted each other familiarly. Aft- er a little while Ryan was moved to another cell. Bruce then sent for Mat- thews and said he had forgotten to tell all the particulars of the burgiary. Bruce said he and a pal, who needed money for morphine, picked out the place as easy, because the rear window was ‘‘soft’’ and there was a vacant lot near. They were lying in the lot when three young fellows came along and asked them what they were doing there. They told the newcomers that they were gaing to ‘‘cave” the place. The three young men said they had planned the same thing, and proposed that they either work together or ‘‘draw cuts” to see which should withdraw and leave the others to do the job, and it was decided that they shoujd work to- gether. Five Suit Cases Filled With Loot. Bruce says they broke in, obtained five suit cases. and filled them and car- ried them away. On his statement that he had‘sold several pairs of trousers to Joseph Rothman, a second hand dealer at 806 North Ninth street, Rothman was arrested. Twelve pairs of trousers were found at his place which Bruce says he sold Rothman. Rothman denies this. Ryan, the police say, declared that Bruce and his companion already had broken into the place when Ryan and his two companions came along. He and his two companions, he says, took three sult cases of plunder to a secondhand store at Fifteenth and Morgan streets and sold it for $1.75. The two firms that were robbed place the value of the goods stolen at $2232.56. They say it included 1500 pairs of trou- sers, safety razors, caps, shoes, etc. In view of the statements of Bruce and‘ Ryan that the five men only carried ‘eway five suit cases filled with plunder, the police think that still another gang may have come along and carried away a great deal more than the original fu- sionists.

Rix, and was vccupied by a negro named Barnard. The building was known as the Pine Bluff House, Barnard was sick in bed with a fever and Mrs. Barnard was at the front of the house when the alarm was given. The flames were at the rear of the building. A woman was ironing in the rear room, using a coal stove for heat. Small frame buildings just across the street were left intact, hardly scorched, but the fire spread in every direction. It reached Prospect averfue, destroying some of the finest residences - in the city. One of the finest school buildings in the State, the handsome courthouse, the most complete and costly power and light plants in Arkansas, the imposing Park Hotel, which cost more than $500,000 came in - direc? path of the flames. The Ozark Sanitarium eaught at 4:45. For a time it looked as if this building, with its thickly growing trees as a, protection, would stop the fire from going farther westward, but a big water tower on the premises finally caught and soon the building itself was in flames and the fire swept onward. It went up Olive street to Central, thence northerly to Market, where!it crossed Central avenue, consumed the Bijou rink and the surrounding build- ings before the line of fire crossed Central at Olive.

_ approach to the bridge. : 4 posed east side approaches. At the Tit PL FAVOR NDS FOR BRID Kiel Feels That Voters Are Ready to Approve the Pro- posed $3,500,000 Issue. DOESN’T FEAR HAGGLING ‘Question of Approachgs Is Mere- ly Incidental,’ He Sa Build Bridgé Mayor Henry. W. Kiel, who says he has been making a close study of public sentiment on the free bridge problem, told a Post-Dispatch repor- ter, in his office at the city hall, that he is certain the voters of St. Louis are ready to approve a bond issue of $3, 500, 000 for the completion of the free’ bridge and for the construction of a southern approach to. connect with the tracks of the Manufacturers’ Railway Co., owned by the Busch Brewing interests. The Manufacturers’ Railway ap- proach is to cost $750,000. A propo- sal to submit a bond issue for this amount separately from the $2,750,000 bokd issue to complete the east side approach to the bridge, was rejected by the Municipal Free Bridge Com- mission at its conference on the har- bor boat last Wednesday. No Special Reason. The Mayor was asked to give his reasons for proposing this additional appropriation for the benefit of the Manufacturers’ Railway Co. “I don’t know of any special reason for the action taken by the Bridge Conference on that subject,” said the Mayor. “It just seemed to be the concensus of opinion that as we al- ready had built an approach on the West Side running westward. to Twenty-second street and accessible to all lines in the Terminal Associa- tion, a similar approach. should be built in the interest of the indepen- dent Manufacturers’ Railway Co. * “It was argued that thd addition of $750,000 to the bridge bond issue for the southern approach would make votes for the bridge bond issue as a whole in South St. Louis. Not only the Manufacturers’ Railway Co., but also the Iron Mountain and the St. Louis Transfer Railway Co. would have access to the Southern approach, P His Original Idea. It was my fdea to have this propo- sition submitted separately, but to do this, Comptroller Player and City Counselor Baird held, might invali- date the entire bond issue. There was the fear also that a great many voters would vote to approve. the emaher amount and vote against the 2,750,000 to-eomplete the east sfde I went into the conference, however, pledged to abide by the decision, and I am surely Zoing .to support its conclusion to make the bond issue $3, 500,000.”’ A,Propésed bond issue of $2,750,000 for the completion of the East Side approach to the bridge was rejected three times by the voters of St; Louis. . At the spe- cial election, in August, 1912, the propo- sition lacked only 2200 votes of the two- thirds majority necessary to carry it. On eack occasion not more than two- thirds of the registered vote of the city was polled and there was the further handicap each time of opposition to the bonds on politica] grounds. Terminal Negotiations. The Mayor was asked if he had con- sidered the fact that the Manufacturers’ Railway Co. recently had opened nego- tiations with certain lines in the Termi- nal Railroad Association, whereby it proposed to surrender its facilities to those roads through a lease of the Man- ufacturers’ Railway line. “I don’t know a thing about that re- ported agreement,” safd the Mayor. When his attention was called to the terms under which the: Manufacturers’ Railway Co. proposes to effect its lease to the Terminal lines, at a net annual profit (to the Manufatturers’ Railway Co.) of,5 per cent on $2,500,000 a year, over and above all operating costs, the Mayor, with a deprecatory gesture, re- plied: “That problem is too deep for me.” At this point, President Kinsey of th- Board of Public Improvements came to the Mayor's rescue. “Suppose the Terminal Railroad Asso- ciation, or lines composing it, does get control of the Manufacturers’ Railway Co.,"" said Kinsey; “that fact ought not to prevent us from voting the bonds. More Facilities Needed. “Above ,all things, St. Louis needs an enlargement of terminal facilities, Ly building a southern approach to the bridge, we simply increase the termi- nals, and no company can get opntrol of the bridge, since it will be absolute- ly under the domination of the city.” “Tt don’t believe the people are going to haggle over this extra $750,000,"" said the Mayor. “I have talked with quite a number of persons the past few weeks, and, without exception, they tell me that they want the bridge completed, That is the main thing, complete the bridge. The question of approaches is merely incidental to the main issue. Let’s build the bridge. The sooner we get our proposition to the voters, the better it will be for every- body.” BRIDGE MEETING .

NDUCTOR SAYS d Railway Employe’s State- ment of Fight Made Public by Claims Department. FOUR WITNESSES SUPPORT City ; Auditor ‘If From Nervous Shock, Declines to Comment on Report. f } Joseph Davis of 5810A Delmar boule- vard, a conductor on the Olive car line of the United Railways, who struck City Auditor Jeremiah Sheehan on an Olive street trailer Thursday at Ninth and Olive streets, asserts in a report made to Capt. Robert McCulloch, president and general manager of the United Rail- ways, that Sheehan was the aggressor and struck the first blow. In the report, made public by the Railway Claim Department, Davis says that he was closing the doors of the car, thinking that all passengers were on, when a man pushed back the doors and jumped into the car. Struck One Blow. As he was issuing transfers to two women, the conductor says, the man, to whom he had. paid no particular atten- tion, struck him in the eye with his fist. Davis says he then struck the man in self-defense, knocking him down. He struck Sheehan only one blow, the con- ductor says, and denied that he kicked him. The blow struck by Sheehan blinded him temporarily, Davis asserts, and he would not have struck back if he had seen that his assailant was an aged man. Davis says in the report that at the man’s request he gave him his badge number. When he asked the man’s name, Davis says, Sheehan “threw a card at me,” saying “That will tell who TI am.’”’ _ 3 Four Witnesses Support Conductor. Officials of the Claim Department say that Davis’ statement of the details is supported by the affidavits of four pas- sengers on the car: L. W. Burton of 6082 Von Versen avenue, C. E. Bonesteel of 4039 Maffitt avenue, Charles W. Allen of 5081 Von Versen avenue and William Toussaint of 1703A Union boulevard. Sheehan, who is 64 years old, is con- fingg.to his home, 3673 Cook avenue, be- cause of a nervous attack due to the fight. He had been ill and was at his office that day for the first time since his recovery. Sheehan declined Saturday to discuss the report or Davis’ statement that the Auditor struck the first blow. ackmalil Suspect Swoons. STE VELAND, O., Sept. 6.—Mrs. Mar- garet A.

FOR REGEIVER FOR ROAD IN MISSOURI Canadians File Action in Case of the Williamsville, Greenville and St. Louls. Canadian owners of $230,000 of bonds of the Williamsville, Greenville and St. Louis Railroad in Southeastern Missouri, filed suit Friday in the United States District Court for the appointment of a receiver for the company. The petitioners represent that the company has defaulted in the payment of $150,000 of interest on its outstanding bond issue of $525,000 during the past six years. Jacob E. Ball of Kansas City, formerly in control of the Bankers’ Trust Co. of Kansas City, is named as a defendant with the railroad company. The petition states that he has obtained a judgment against the company for $5200. Had $1,500,000 Capital. The petitioners are Alfred H. Wood- man, Henry W. Maird, John Maclean, Donald McLean, O. B. Maville, James H. Sanderson and Danie] Adams, all of}° the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The railroad company was organized Jan. 24, 1894, with a capital stock of $1,500,000, of which $525,000 has been is- sued, according to the petitioners, 35 miles of main line road and 17 miles of connecting road have been built. In 1907 a bond issue of $8,125,000 was authorized, but only $525,000 was issued, the petition states. A receiver to take charge of the road and operate it for the benefit of the bondholders is asked. Ralflroad Transferred. The railroad ‘recently figured in the sult of James H. Long and others of Kansas City against the National Bank of Commerce in St. Louls. The road was acquired by Long and others, in connection with the purchase of large tracts of timber lands and lumber mills. Long obtained loans on the property from the Bank of Commerce and al- leged that he was charged usurious rates of interest. The road was finally taken over by a syndicate organized by the Bank of Commerce to protect its loans, and was Jater transferred to another syndicate.

He is now regarded as: one of the greatest discoverers of mod- ern times, but he was being ridiculed @ great deal in 1873 when, after the doctors had cut off one of William Ernest Hensley’s feet, they told him he would die unless they cut off the other. Determined to keep one foot out of the grave or be buried with it, Henley went to Lister, in Edinburgh. When Lister asked why he came, Henley answered that it was because all the other doc- tors were abusing him. ‘Lister said nothing, but saved the foot.’’ The dis- ease, which was tuberculosis of the bones, kept the youth so long in the hospital that he taught himself Spanish, German and Italian and began writing for ‘‘The Cornhill Magazine.” The editor sent a young friend to the hospital to invest gate. The young friend was Rob- ert Lovis Stevenson. Under late the- ories of biology, Henley ought to have been killed quietly and scientifically in the hospital as “unfit to survive,” but under Lister’s treatment and with Stevenson's friendship, he became one oz the leading writers of England during “the late Victorian age.” ‘“‘William Er- nest Henley,” a biography by L. Cope Cornford, is brief, but in such incidents as these connecting Lister, Stevenson and Henley, it is full of insights into life. This incident in the education of a “unique genius” is enough to explain how Henley was fitted to write the Lest-known of his stanzas: “It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with scroll. punishment the 1 am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.’’ As a biographer, Mr. Cornford has the merit of admiring his subject too much to tejl his faults. Henley was “at fault” most of the time during his life ‘rom the standpoints of healthy hu- manity, but few among strong and healthy people have made such use of their powers ag he did in making the best of his own worst. He must be understood now by those who expect to uncerstand the history of the last 30 years. This is, Perhaps, the best sum- inary of his life and work written since his death, when as he himself wrote he had still in his heart “gome late lark singing.’’ (Houghton-Miffiin.) —,_ Re oe ee ETOH TTT TTT Sane cevtehy r . 4 ‘ er y cf 3 5 . - 7 ; x BPS ‘ = : ‘ . i . - SRITISH “BLOOD AND BREEDING.” ICKY MAINWARING, known at [) school and college as “the Freak,”’ is @ modern English @rigtocrat of he better class.

TOKIO, Sept. ¢.—Mortiaro Abe, di- rector of the political bureau of the Yapanese Foreign Office, died here today from wounds inflicted by unidentified assassins. One theory is that Director Abe was mistaken by his assailants for Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the Chinese revolutionary lead- er whom he gyeatly resembled. lt was reported a month ago, soon after Dr. Sun Yat Sen's flight from China and arrival in Japan, trat a band of 100 as- sassins Had been sent by the Chinese Government to kili’ Dr. Sun, Gen. Hu- ang Sing and other Chinese revolution- ary fugitives. Students Are Suspected. The assailants, who are believed to have been students, lay in wait for Abe in front of his house Thursday even- ing when he was at the. relay station to meet H. Ijuin, Minister to China, who had just been recalled from Pekin. Upon his return Director Abe was.attacked by two young men who ran out of an alley. One of them seized him by the shoulders while the other plunged a short sword into his ab- domen twice. The assassins escaped in the darkness. It was not thought at first that the director’s wounds would prove fatal, for they were promptly dressed after some passers-by had carried him to his home and called the surgeons. Excitement is intense here, fohowing the reports of the massacre of Japa- nese and the insult to the Japanese flag at Nanking and there is much IiIrre- sponsible clamor for drastic action SAMINETTI CONVICTED Son of Immigration Commission- er-General to Appeal—Sen- tences Next- Wednesday.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Mrs: Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of Chicago schools whose recent resignation ten- !dered because of the opposition of a few members of the Board of Educa- tion, was rejected when a public dem- onstration was made in her behalf, is to be “absolute boss” of the city’s educational system. That is the way Mayor Harrison put it following a conference late yesterday with Mrs. Young. “I believe the Superintendent of Schools should be superintendent in fact as well'as in name, should in short be boss of the works,” asserted the Mayor, “If a member of the Board doubts smiling a forced smile and nudging his brothér jocularly.

Caminetti and Diggs, former State Architect of California, were jointiy in- dicted on six counts and Diggs was found guilty on four of them.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, SATURDAY EVENING, 8 THE BIG CANKER OF PEACE. Pausing to reflect, let us be thankful the jingoes and the war lobby have failed to plunge us into war—to divert the energies of Congress from the tariff. Yet there is the accompanying reflection that war is not an unmixed evil. Faithful historians have frequently been forced to accord it some salutary effects. Peace no less than war may savor of perdition—in the perversities it de velops, gross and petty; in moral sloth, in self- ishness, in viciousness and meanness, in queru- lous temper, in pruriency, preciosity, and sheer paltriness. The cankers of a long peace grow 80 acute betimes that we have to look at the Bal- kans to assure ourselves our contrast is prefer- able. War would take men’s minds off women’s skirts. If we were involved in a deplorable con- flict of arms the degenerate Thaw would not attract attention as the hero of an international issue. The turkey trot, the Diggs and Caminetti cases, Bryan’s grapejuice, Andrew Carnegie’s last piece of patronizing, “September Morn,” the pro- hibition issue, Richmond Pearson Hobson, and numerous matters over which long-haired men and short-haired women raise a din would shrink in dimension, if not vanish. Frequent petty strikes would go by the board, and employers would be less inclined to little tyrannies. Many questions now thought big and pressing would be reduced to the proportions of chautauqua de- bates. The peanut statesman, self-seeking re- former, busybody and snooper would temporarily go out of business. Government would be less paternalistic, maternalistic and grandmaternalis- tic. Uncle Sam would be less occupied . with light housekeeping, less with the whimsies and vapors of a lazy man who hangs around home all day; and he would be less given to taking 5 o'clock tea with Dame Scandal.

While sitting in a touring car with his detectives wait- ing for a chance to grab Thaw, Jerome “sat into” a little game of penny ante, otherwise draw poker. This pernicious game, when played for money, farms, fast stock, automobdiles, watches, over- coats, or other articles of value, is legally classi- fied as a gambling game. Indeed, we suppose more men have been arrested for playing this game than for playing all other games lumped together. It was once, in earler and less vir- tuous days, regarded as the national indoor game is in the abuse of it by irrational playera, who sit teo late, or venture beyond their financial depth. So general did the abuse of it become that the game, played for stakes of any kind, has been outlawed in all the states and in many for- eign lands where Americans in«oduced it to the hapless natives. Too great skill in playing it is now prima facie evidence, in our best society, of a misspent life. When Thaw was told what had happened to his most vindictive foeman, he said: “The learned counsel for the Chicken Trust is in bad. I always said that man would come to no good end.” > _=_ _—_ = DAYTON TAKES THE ‘LEAD. By Frank Putnam.

It may strike the reader as strange that an American city, borrowing ideas for a _ charter from European cities, has in that way come closer than before to expressing the American genius for business efficiency, but such is the _ fact. Americans have worked out, for their private business affairs, a corporate plan very like that which the leading cities of Great Britain and Ger- many have evolved for their municipal affairs. The wonder is that Americans have so long neglected to apply to their municipal business the admirable instrument with which they manage their private businesses. Sumter, S. C., and one or two small towns have beaten Dayton to it, but Dayton is the first large city to cross the line. Cleveland borrowed the German Executive Council—the “magistrat” composed of heads of departments appointed by the Mayor—and the British plan permitting a ward to elect a Coun- cilman from outside its own limits. But Cleve- land retained the elective Mayor and the ward Council, and made their terms of. office all terml- nate at the same: time, which affords about as much opportunity for political maneuvering as the professionals could ask for under any charter pretending to be drawn for business efficiency. Dayton’s charter provides for a city commission none but legislative authority. is lodged in a general manager to be chosen by the commission for an indefinite term. If Dayton is lucky enough to find a first-class general man- ager in the beginning, he can be retained in office for life, at his own option, or if he fails, he can be dismissed and another employed in his place. The commission is free to bid as high as it pleases for the best man in sight. The charter fixes the salary of Commissioners at $1200 a year, of the Mayor at $1800, but does not limit the salary that can be paid to the general manager or the heads of departments. The Mayor is to be the candi- date for Commissioner who receives the highest vote. He is the presiding officer of the commis- sion. It is provided that “he shall be recognized as the official head of the city by the courts, for the purpose of serving civil processes, by the Governor for the purposes of military law, and for all ceremonial purposes.” This pretty definitely classifies Dayton’s Mayor with the figurehead Lord Mayors of British cities. ‘ Dayton’s Commissioners are not required to give their whole time to the city’s business, but are required to attend business sessions at least once each week. This makes it possible for successful men, controlling large private affairs, to accept election to the commission and give the city the benefit of their business skill, in shaping policies. They are elected for four-year terms. Of the five to be elected this year, three will serve four years, the others two years. Thereafter, each second year the people will elect alternately three and two Commissioners, thus always retaining dn of- fice some men acquainted with the city’s busi- ness, in the European fashion. The high man emong the three elected together shall be the Mayor. The general manager “shall be the administra- tive head of the municipal government and shall be responsible for the efficient administration of all departments. He shall be appointed without regard to his political beliefs and may or may not be a resident of Dayton when appointed. He shal] held office at the will of the commission and shall be subject to recall as herein provided.” That is to say, a way is provided by which the people can recall the general manager should they so desire and the commission refuse to dismiss him. Signatures of 25 per cent of the qualified voters are required to get a recall election for the gen- eral manager or any member of the commission. The powers and duties of the general manager are as follows: 1. To see that the laws and ordinances are enforced. 2. To appoint and remove all directors of de- partments and all subordinate officers and em- Ployes in the departments in both the classified and unclassified service; all appointments to be upon merit and fitness alone, and in the classified service all appointments and removals to be sub- ject to the civil service provisions of the charter. 3. To exercise control over all departments and divisions created herein or that may be hereafter created by the commission. 4. To attend all meetings’ of the commission, with the right to take part in the discussion, but having no vote. 5. To recommend to the commission for adop- tion such measures as he may deem necessary or expedient. 6. To keep the city fully advised as to the financial condition and needs of the city. 7. To perform such other duties as may be pre- scribed. Departments of Law, Public Service, Public Safety, Finance and Public Welfare, and a Civil Service Board are created. In the Finance Depart- ment the best down-to-date practices of private ccrporations are provided for, including a contin- ucus audit of city accounts, with a general bal- ance sheet exhibiting assets and Mabilities: a sci- entific budget classified uniformly for the main functional divisions of all departments: current financial and operating statements exhibiting each transaction and the cost thereof, and stand- ardization of service and compensation, insuring equal pay for equal work in every branch of the city government. Nominations are nonpartisan. A candidate's petition to have his name placed on the ballot in the nominating primary must be signed by 6 per cent or more of the qualified voters. The top 10 in the nominating primary are voted on in the regular city election that follows. This gives the people two chances to sift out weak and doubtful candidates. Needless to say, Dayton’s new charter, Hke all the new charters of big American cities, gives the olity power to create or acquire, own and operate all publio utilities. It tightens the lines of franchise grants by provifitng that no franchise for such utility can be given except it stipulates the city’s right to terminate it at will; to buy or eondemn the property, exclu@ing franchise value, and to regulate the quality of service and rates to be charged.

The Detroit Free Press, which wants to be absolutely fair to*the New Haven Railroad, says: “Either the road is pursued by a re- lentless hoodoo, or there is truth in the repeated charges that stock juggling has dangerously impaired its effi- ciency.”’ We like to be fair, too, and in a plain case of hoodoo such as this is, we don’t see why the fairness should not also extend to the stock jugglers. The hoo- doo has been so persistent on the New Haven that one wonders it has never been seen. Certainly the engineers must have seen something of the black cats which inevitably cross ahead of trains about to go in the ditch! With the pow- erful new headlights used by Western railroads (they must have them out East), it ought to be possible to*see a black cat about two miles, taking in bends. .

From the New York Times. The plea in favor of state relief of widowed mothers, made by Secretary of Charities Hebberd at the meeting in Buffalo of the International Congress of School Hygiene, has an element of soundness. If the mother cannot, from reasons beyond her control, support her children properly, they will either find their way to a state asylum or reforma- tory or the public must grant monetary relief to the mother so that she may at- tend to them in the home. Between children brought up with a mother’s care and children reared in institutions there is a deep gulf fixed. Systematic private relief, Mr. Hebberd says, is out of the question. It has been tried In this city, and Mr. Hebberd speaks from years of experience. Pri- vate societies ‘work spasmodically. The burden ought not to be shifted to a few casual shoulders, it would be better borne by the public. FIFTY YEARS AGO. The Independent quotes the following items from its issue of 50 years ago: “Prof. Wolcott Gibbs, an able chemist, has been chosen Rumford professor at Harvard University. Columbia College a@ year or two since refused to appoint him to a chemical professorship. Be- cause he did not understand chemistry? No; because he was a Unitarian! This is as if you should refuse to get your clothes from the best tailor because he did not make jack knives to suit you. ‘Mr. Cyrus W.

RNIGAN was the bookkeeper for Mr. Ellice at the Rudale Mill, as his father had been before him. He was a skilled and honest accountant; the tormenting figurés had nothing to do with his employer's affairs. They rep- resented his own endeavor to deal with the terrible fact that, during the last two years, he had diminished by near- ly a thousand dollars the modest capi- tal which he had inherited from his, parents. To be sure, his recent expenses had been unusual—the new furnace, the sur- geon’s fee for Lizzie’s operation, the charitable loan to her uncle in Kansas. His conservative little investments still yielded $600 annually, and of his salary he could not complain. It was not the present which distressed Jernigan. Nevertheless, his capital was shrink- ing; and what if he should wake up s0me morning to find that his ability to earn money had vanished overnight? What if his fingers abruptly became in- competent to use a pen? What if his eyes abruptly refused to work for him. He looked morosely down the deserted street toward the huge mill. Its win- dows glowed; its looms chanted their endless, sonorous hymn of prosperity. On a hill near by was the stately, old- fashioned Ellice mansion, with its tall columns of white stone. Mr. Ellice was evidently entertaining an evening party there. Thé lamps of motor cars shot their golden beams over the lawn, and Jernigan heard a vagrant strain of dance music. He scowled at the stone house. Why should its master be rich, and merry, and care-free, while Jernigan bore a black demon on his shoulder. Three loyal generations of Jernigans had worked for the Ellices, and now—the bookkeeper, with a feeble oath, shook his fist weakly at the white columns. But the oath to which his trembling lips were unaccustomed oddly startled him. It sobered his mood as he marched on, His vague plan was to stroll as far ac the office of the mill before re- turning back. The single-storied office- bullding stood in a patch of grass, oppo- site the bridge of the mill-stream. Jer- nigan circled the grass-patch unwill- ingly, for the thought of going home revolted him. Behind the building he halted in be- wilderment. A light gleamed from a rear window. Somebody was in the of- fice! : Now ft was impossible for Jernigan to . believe that any one had rightful busi- ness there by night, without his knowl- edge; so he crept close to the window. He saw a man standing beside the office table. On the table were books of ac- count and sheets of paper covered with penciled figures. The man bent over them, then paced the room, then re- turned doggedly to the table, then paced the room again. Jernigan caught his breath, for the man was John Ellice. The bookkeeper stared, as if in a theater, at a counterfeit presentment of himself, pacing his own parlor. Ellice’s unbuttoned coat showed a loose pajama jacket; he wore elippers, and his hair was ruffled, like that of one driven from his bed. His face, as he bent at the table under the light, was drawn and white. His mouth twitched. Jernigan interpreted the picture swiftly. Indeed, there was only a single possible meaning for him, and this was a meaning which swept everything else out of his simple soul, as a gigantic and appalling torment sweeps a humble val- ley. The sight of an Ellice of Rudale in the torment of financial worry was tv a Jernigan what the sight of a col- lapse of the Great Pyramid would have been to an ancient Egyptian. Other af- fairs of life for Jernigan were totally obliterated by awe-stricken consterna- tion and a sympathy almost reverent. Ellice snapped off the electric lamp, pushed the papers into a drawer of the table, and locked it. He decided that his daughter’s dance would be over, and he wondered if he could sleep. Then he smiled grimly, knowing well enough that it was not dance music which had kept him awake. His neck contracted sharply, as if something was perched on his shoulder. His thoughts whirled back to the papers in the table drawer. He had forgotten to jot down the loan from the -Bamson Trust! Of course he had! He began to compute the interest for the coming term. And what, in heaven's name, would be his next month's bal- ance with the Atlas people? True, he might tide over this year, but—he threw open the outer door with a gesture of hopeless desperation, and descended the steps. “Who's that? Not Jernigan?’ “Yes, sir,” faltered Jernigan. if you can spare me a minute!” “Why, certainly!’ Ellice managed to pull himself to- gether. He glanced at his clerk's up- turned coat collar and tremulous chin. “You're not ill, Albert?’ “No sir, just out for a little air.” “Quite right,” approved Ellice. “Rest thing in the world efter a hard day's work. We're all right busy at Rudale now, eh? By Jove, It’s fine to see the old concern more prosperous than ever! Well, what can I do-for you?” j “If— confident child. For the moment, Jer- nigan resembled a devotee in the pres- ence of a benevolent idol. “Your father, I understand, made safe investments,”’ resumed Ellice. ‘““‘Why not stick to them?’ “They don’t suit me, sir,” said the bookkeeper. ‘“‘I was wondering if Ru- dale Mill could use the money for a while. I could turn it over to you tomorrow, and then I wouldn’t have to worry any more.” “Then I wouldn’t have to worry any more,”’ repeated Jernigan. “No,” Ellice murmured. ‘No, I sup- pose you wouldn’t. Got plenty of faith in the old concern, have you, Albert?’ “Faith to burn, sir, as the boys say. Why, think of all the faith in the old mill there is in this town, Mr. Ellice! Think of the hundreds of men and wom- en and children that trust in the mill, the same as they do that thé sun shines! Gather all that trust in a lump, and a fellow would have a regular rock of comfort to stand on, wouldn't he?” Ellice started queerly. “I didn’t know you were such a mys- tic,”” he rejoined in a changed voice. “Excuse me, sir. I have notions, but that’s only common sense. And about that money of mine?’”’ Without answering, Ellice turrred away thoughtfully, and. the two strolled in silence to the wooden bridge that spanned the mill stream. They leaned on the rail, looking over at the river. An hour ago Ellice had leaned on the same @tidge-rail and stared for a long time into the beckoning depths of that restful river. At the evil remembrarce of that black hour, he shuddered pen- itently, and touched Jernigan’s elbow beside him. “Let your money stay where it is,” he advised. “I can't believe that you have a right to worry, Albert. You've got the trust of your family to nerve you just as I’ve got the trust of my mill- hands and the village. We ought to stand on that trust and fight for it, both of us, oughtn’t we? That’s enough to keep us busy. Worrying’s no good!” ““‘What. bothers me,” ventured Jerni- gan, “are the years to come—the fu- ture.’’ Ellice peeled a sliver from the rail and tossed it lightly on the surface of the shadowy current. “That's the way the future takes us, I guess,” said he. “It’s up to us to keep afloat, that’s all, and to hold the best course We can.’ The future? It’s a big river, Jernigan, a big, big rtver. There’s BO anaD. Worrying won't help us travel Ay ( “No, sir,” muttered Jernigan. For another minute they watched the stream as it glided steadily away into the mysterious darkness. Then Ellice glanced acrosg the bridge at the great mill. Industrious looms drummed con- tentedly, and the figures of the tolling night shift were visible at the long ranks of windows. To the fancy of Ellice, with Jerni- gan’s ‘words ringing in his mind, the mill became a thing of life, a personal entity, radiant of confidence and trust. He felt, with a joyous thrill of regained manliness, that he would be worthy of its friendship, and of the friendship of his people. He straightened his shoul- cers happily, as if they had been re- leased from a painful burden. “Good night,” he said, “and thank , sir? Why?" For a match,” improvised Ellice, pro- ducing’ cigars from his pocket. ‘Will you smoke?” ; “I think not,” Jernigan deelined. late. Good night, sir!’’ Ellice sauntered' up the hill to his house, puffing a cigar in a drowsy cheerfulness. 7 “It’s III Although the street was quiet and deserted, while Jernigan hastened home- ward under the elms it seemed to him alive with the mighty heart of all hu- manity, beating in unison with his own, vexed by the same solicitudes, and con- quering the same fears. As he passed each lowly cottage, he thought of the humble men and women therein, who faced the future with no different brav- ery than that required of kings and queens. If John Ellice could subdue anxiety Over large affairs with such self-relidnt courage, surely Jernigan could likewise surmount his infinitely smaller. cares! Uniatching his gate, he whistled a tune. “Al Jernigan, where in the world——” Lizzie paused to shield the flame of the candle, as her husband opened the door. “Why, I'd forgot to do an errand at the office.- I meant not to disturb you, dear.”’ “But I didn’t know what might hap- pen, and I’ve worried like anything,” she explained, smiling. Jernigan yawned Juxuriously. “Never lend yourself trouble. about what hasn't happened yet, Lizzie,” said he. “What's the use of worrying?” (Copyright, 10138, Frank A.

ENGRAVING METALS — ERHAPS you have some metal ob- ject on which you wish to en- grave a number, your name, of }of the article, you think, does not justi- fy you in having an engraver do the work, and you do not wish to spoil it by scratching the letters in. If you are so placed, here is the solution of your difficulty,’ for by the aid of acids one may write on metals almost as easily as upon paper. Mix equal parts of nitrix and muriatic acid in a glass container and be careful how you do it, for these acids will eat into the flesh and clothes, just as they will into metals. Cover the surface to be engraved with beeswax or paraffine, taking care that the wax is spread on evenly. With a sharp instrument write the figures or letters desired upon the waxed surface, taking care that the wax is quite penetrated. With a feather dipped in the mixed acide fill the scratches on the wax with the fluid and allow it to stand for from one to 10 minutes. If an etched effect is desired, One minute will be suf- ficient time, If a deeper cut is desired, allow the acid to remain upon the met- al longer. To stop the action of the acid, pour cold water over the affected parts and wash the wax off. With a little practice very pleasing results may be obtained. For block laet- ters a small chisen will prove most sat- isfactory. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that these acida attack almost anything they touch, ex- cepting glass, gold and one or two other fittle-known substances. A word as to how to engrave giass may be placed here. The process is somewhat more difficult, however, and less apt to come in handy. Nevertheless it is interesting. The acid used in this case is hydrofluoric acid. Since ft at- tacks glass it is not, of course, kept in giass containers. Containers either of | gutta percha or gold are used.

If the matter has not been sifted | to your satisfaction, as yet, peruse these FACTS relative to the way in which the club’s affairs have been conducted; you will probably soon be convinced that there’s a weakness in the make-up of the club’s, thinkers that is not to be located in their feet: Lee Magee, a grandstander, is drawing as big a salary as Harry Sallee, who has pitched .566 base- ball for a .350 baseball club, Although the Cards are a tatl- end baseball team and need play- ers badly, a new grandstand is still contemplated. Against competition: that ran up as high as the offering of $158,- 500 for one player, one Cardinal scout «wvas permitted to bid not over $1500. Although owning the weakest outfield in the League, the man- agement has made no move to adequately bolster this depart- ment for next year. No players worth the name have been planted by the management to be developed for 1914 use. With an almost hopeless outfit, needing strengthening in every department, the club is relying on a last chance, the “draft,” for re- cruiting its strength. Huggins himself has been forced to take up the strings of business office management, in erder to be sure important mat- ters are not overlooked. Do you GET what’s wrong with the club? Why, that’s easy—it hasn’t head, tail or middle—especially the head. a Why Managers Suffer. ; UBE BENTON, with his map de- cidedly altered, but able to take nourishment through a nozzle, is around Cincinnati aguin, smiling. A mere mat- ter of a busted conth can’t stop Rube’s HAT’S the matter with the Cardinals,” is one of those automatic, of the club’s handling. It has an answer that doesn’t have to be written the fan who has watched the details smile, any more than can the fact that he was benched without pay for the rest of the season, after being nearly killed in a motor-cyle accident. Rube had been warned by Tinker to abandon the dangerous speed-pest, after @ previous injury. But, although Rube may smile, what about Joe Tinker, who built largely on Benton’s pitching ability to pull out his team from the ruck? Had Benton played fair with his employers and avoided chance of injury, he might have had his club fighfing for the top of the second. division. He also might have been the means of saving Joe Tinker’s head from the. ax. Thanks to his recklessness Tinker’s job is now uncertain. It’s no joke that the best a manager gets is the worst of it.

Dr. William C, Edmunds, successor to Professor Ewerhardt as Director of Athletics at Washington University, and to Francis Cayou as coach of the foot- ball team, is here to undertake the hitherto impossible task of winning a valley championship for the local elevens. In this work Dr. Edmunds will be as- sisted by Leo McCarty, the St. Louis boy who made such a reputation during the past three years as an “‘all-Missouri Valley” center rush. Dr. Edmunds fs an ex-Michigan man and a graduate of Coach Yost’s “‘hurry- up”’ system, The material available this season at the university is good, though six of last year’s regulars have graduated, among them the star of the team, Dike Nipher. The old men to come back are: Capt. Hardaway, quarterback; Scherer, right tackle; Potthoff, right halfback: Mil- ford, left halfback; Poole, right guard. Nelson Can’t' Play. Paul Nelson, the “giant tackle,” will be back, but owing to a serious injury to his head in the Missouri battle last year is forbidden by the doctor to play again. The substitutes to return are: Ross, quarterback; Hudler, halfback; Weir, center; Hetlage, halfback; Southern, halfback; Bernard, end. Of these Souther and Hetlage seem to be the best. Last year’s freshmen who are eligible are: Leuking, end; Lewis, halfback: Kammerer, tackle; McGrath, center; Werner, guard; Gray, halfback; Chenery, quarterback; Berry, end; M. Jones, fullback; Ellrod, halfback. Ellrod and Lewis have the best chances of making the big team because they were the best ground gainers for the freshmen team, last year.

Recruits of 1913 Who Made Good, Very Few; Browns Picked Up Two Out of the army of young ballplayers who were herded into the major League corral last spring, only a few have been branded with the stamp of apprevai. The American League plucked three peaches from the 1912 crop of catchers. Li ‘Hung Schang of the Athietics, Ray Schalk of Sox and Sam Agnew of the Browns are Al performers. They*are kids destined to have many more prosperous seasons. Boehling of the Nationale and Leverenz of the Browns are two top-notch southpaws making their debut. Humphries of the Cubs, a jad developed by Bresnahan, and Demaree a the Giants are two starry young hurlers develoved in the National League. They vath have won 12 and lost three. topping the N. L, hurlers. Jimmy Viox of the Pirates, a second base- man who was sold two years ago by Billy Grayson, the local man who owned the Louisville club, for $800, is one of the stars of the National League this season. He's hitting .820 and works every day. The Boston Braves have a gem in ‘‘Rab- bit’? Maranville, their sensational shortstop. He’s one of the really great fielders of the Stengel, the Brooklyn outfielder, is an- other ‘‘find.”” But, all in all, this is a com- paratively small crop of stars to develop from the army of youngsters who were taken South with the major League clubs iast spring.

Koney and Hug Hurt; Unlikely to Piay Today PITTSBURG, Sept. 6.—The Cardinals will make their final appearance of the season in Pittsburg today, and will leave tonight for Chicago, where they play before returning home to tackle the Eastern clubs. Manager Huggins has announced that “Bill”, Doak, a local lad, will do the heaving for his team this afternoon. He made the announcement at the re- quest of several hundred fans from Knoxville, a local suburb, where Doak makes his home. **Bill’? obtained his baseball experience on the corner lots In Knoxville, and later was a star on the Knoxville team in the fast Allegheny County League, an independent organization. He will be presented with a handsome diamond ring, this afternoon. Koney and Huggins Alling. The Cardinals are likely to present a sadly crippled team. It is doubtful ff either Koney or Huggins will be able to play. Koney’s arm, which was hit with a pitched ball, Wednesday, is still very sore, and he may not be able to use it for several days yet though he declared last night he ex- pected to play today. Huggins suffered a badly strained wrist in attempting to touch out Wagner after he had fielded Chief Wilson’s rap in the fourth in- e os Bg yesterday.

So far this season Chance has not seen fit to make good use of McConnell in any position, and his name does not appear among those who have “played 20 games, cr more.’’ The acquisition of McConnell mean3 the Browns are in search of first-sacking material. The inference is that G. Stovall, one of the really formidable first sackers in A. L., soon will vacate his position on Hedges’ club. Stovall is hitting over .300 this sea- son, although he has not performed reg- ularly. Last year he worked in 115 games and attained a batting average of .266. First Sacker Needed.

PEAKING of “paying dearly S for his whistle,’’ it cost Ping Bodie, the White Sox fence buster, $600.06 to wet his, Thursday evening. One little glass of beer, imbibed after the game by the Sox outfielder, caused the deficit in Ping’s bank account. The $.06 went to the man who mixed the amber, while the 600 bones, beans or iron men remained in the White Sox treasury. If Manager Callahan of the Sox had not detected Bodie in the act of slipping himself the cereveza Ping would have been richer by a $600 bonus at the close of the pres- ent season.

Weakened Pitching Staffs Make World’s Series Problem Hard One aienoust both the Athletics nt the Giants have shown a let-up in their playing, as the close of the season ap- proaches, there is practically no hope of either second place club catching the leaders. The falling back of the leading teams is supposed to be due to an “easing up” policy on the part of both man- due to a desire to send the —. fresh pitchers into the world’s series and strong. Nevertheless the Athletics” case seems more serious. The Cleveland club is six and one half games behind, but a bad break down by the Athletics might still net @ pennant for the Naps. Connie Mack is going into the world’s se ries with a none too strong pitching staff, for Jack Coombs is hopelessly out of it and Plank and Bender have shown signs of nes overworked. Athietics Choice. Thus far the betting on the big series, on the basis that the Giants and Athletics will meet, has been slightly tn favor of the Athietics. This is due to tendency to ‘‘nerves’’ shown by the Giants against the Red Sox, last year, to the failure of Tes- reau to pitch to his form of last year and to the low run-getting ability developed by the Giants during the last month, See SEN Er ey Her roe ees Por FO ah , he ecey.
