Next came the Premier of Canada and the Cana- dian Minister of Justice, followed by ex-President Taft and Joseph H. Choate. Frank P. Kellogg brought up the rear, followed by all the high dig- nitaries of the university. The proceedings were simple in the extreme. After. prayer the President of the University opened the convocation with a tribute to Lord Strathcona, the grand old man of Canada, who occupied the seat of honor, clad in the heavy gold-embroidered black silk robes of Chancellor of the University. At his right sat Lord Haldane, Chief Justice White, Mr. Borden, Prof. Taft, the Attorney-General of Canada, and behind them Joseph H. Choate and Frank H. Kellogg. Then Lord Strathcona arose. He was standing in the center of the stage with a life-sized portrait of himself as a background. His snow-white beard and pale complexion gave him a )ook of vigor, but he was so weak that he trembled beneath the weight of his robes, and spoke with a visible ef- fort. He was listened to in religious silence. Twice he repeated himself as he spoke of the great pleasure that he took in extending a cor- dial welcome to the, members of the American Altorney General MeREYNOLDS Sir KENNETH MUIR: MS KENZIE This snapshot, showing the American and Canadian Attorneys-General, with Lord Haldane and his “Wiss ELIZABETH + HALDANE HALDANE sister, was made upon the Chancellor’s arrival in New York for his five-day visit to America. into closer harmony, bring them to a recognition of the binding character of the obligations as- sumed toward each other, and perhaps establish a true union between sovereign states. To attain this something more than treaties would be needed. Its substance would have to be sought for deeper down in an intimate social life. He pointed out that the law and forms and part of the rules by which the conduct of decent citizens are regulated is related and that there is a system of habit or customary conduct, ethical rather than legal, which no one can venture to disregard. Though in some way suffering at the hands of one’s fellow citizens, it is the first instinctive sense of what to do and what not to do in daily life and behavior that is the sour¢e of liberty and ease. This, Lord Haldane pointed out, is because there is a general will with which the will of the good citizen is in accord. He feels he would de- spise himself if his private will were not in har- mony with it. If this sanction, which is less than legal and more than merely moral, is sufficient in the vast|He announced that the meeting was ove servance of general standards of conduct without any question of resort to force within a nation, cannot it be so as between Nations? He Appeals to Lawyers to Use Their Opportunities to Aid Union HE Lord Chancellor urged that there was T nothing in the nature of nationality to preclude such a possibility, and he said that it seemed to him that in the three nations there is growing an ethical feeling akin to the binding quality described. He appealed to the lawyers present to use the great influence and special opportunities that are theirs to further develop the feeling of higher nationality, and to direct their thoughts how they could draw into closest harmony the nations of a race in which they have a common pride. With infinite feeling Lord Haldane spoke the closing words of his ad- dress: “If that be now a far spread inclination, then, indeed, may the people of three great countries ; : | 4 me * a ) stage, raised his hand and obtained a hearing. “and majority of events of daily life to secure the ob- } they would now proceed to McGill University for say to Jerusalem, “Thou shalt be built,’ and to its temple, ‘Thy foundation shall be laid.’ ”’ When the applause had° subsided Hampton Learson of Philadelphia moved a vote of thanks, which was passed standing. President Kellogg announced that the Executive Committee .and members of the bar association had elected the Lord High Chancellor an honorary life member, and trusted that he would so far honor them as to accept. Lord Haldane showed real emotion as he arose to thank the association for the entirely un- expected compliment. He spoke with great warmth and made no attempt to hide his feelings as he said: “It seems as though one of the lessons I have endeavored to inculcate, that we lawyers of the Anglo-Saxon race are all of one brotherhood, has already begun to fructify in a most marvelous manner.” The Chancellor's emotion had caught the crowd, and everybody was on his feet cheering wildly, but President Kellogg advanced to the edge of the the conferring of degrees. He asked the audi- ence to remain unseated until the distinguished guests upon the platform had wifhdrawn. He was obeyed, and then there was a wild rush for the exits and every imaginable kind of conveyance was pressed into service to carry those who had convocation cards to the Royal Victoria College. ) Inspiring Scene When Degrees Are Conferred on Noted Visitors F the scene at the Princess Theater had been | an inspiring one, it was no more impressive than that offered by the large oak-raftered hall with its wide gallery facing the platform, and its floor packed with seats placed so closely together that it was hardly possible to move. It was here that Canada was to honor nine of the most distinguished jurists and statesmen and diplomatists gathered within her doors. But-great as was the prestige of the visitors, two venerable figures seemed to take precedence. When the aca- nial —— —- a ra Bete PP OR, nel Se MR Oe Bar Association, and of the equally great pleasure of being associated with his fellow members of McGill University, in adding to the roll of honor graduates of the university the names of the great and learned men who were about to receive the degree of Doctor of Laws. He récalled that the King of England and his consort, the Queen, were also graduates of Mc- Gill, and called upon Chief Justice Davidson of Canada, who welcomed the visitors from the American bar as bringing to Canada a treaty that needed no ratification, a reciprocity of intellect and learning. Then, turning to Lord Strathcona, he begged leave to do that which had never been . done before in a British dominion beyond the seas, t> propose for the degree the Lord High Chan- cellor of Great Britain “in special recognition of his constant advocacy of the cause of higher edu- cation and of his great ability as statesman; ad- ministrant, philosopher and jurist.” Lord Strath- cona signified his assent and Lord Haldane bent / over and kissed the withered and trembling hand of the 93-year-old man who stood to receive his homage. The roll was quickly signed, the hood slipped over the Chancellor’s scarlet robes, ane it was the turn of the Chief Justice of the United. States. Minister of Justice Pays High Tribute to Chief Justice White Ts Hon. J. C. Dougherty, Minister of Justice OO tN tly and Attorney-General of Catlada, advanced to the Chief Justice's side. Both men were standing within three feet of Lord Strathcona. Mr. Dougherty said that a high place had been United States. There his great judicial mind vast learning, the purity of’ his legal vision the true patriotism of his statesmanship had le the President of the United States to put a an unwritten tradition and to appoint him to tl Chief Justiceship, an honor all the more rex ble that it was conferred by the re } a party to which the Chief Justice did nai’ He proposed the Chief Justice of the United for the degree.

The same ceremony was followed tm ae of all other recipients, with the except Maitre Labori and Senator Root, both of were unavoidably absent. At the request of t sponsors, their degrees were conferred “in | sentia.”’ Here and there little incidents called for 3 Ie cheers. When ex-President Taft had been inves ed, he shook hands with Premier Borden 1 resuming his seat, and the students in the s gave him a great ovation. The formal ¢ of conferring the degrees was ended. Lord Haldane bent over and whispered = r 3 gic! Bey : ae ¥ welt ees) ® Meal nes Feu ty ° ie laa RG, é oS. x thing to Lord Strathcona, who nodded his’ h head vigorously.

JOSEPH PULITZER. a **ARMS AND THE MAN.’’ The Koreans, as a people of ancient and peace able heathen habits, had absorbed our American civilization to a considerable extent twenty years ago. They did not think they needed our religion, but they did feel the need of our guns. They were feirly well supplied with modern rifles when Sapan attacked them, but in the complications of times their modern cartridges mostly re- to fit their gun barrels. Just before their stand for home and country, an American traveler saw the forlorn hope of Korean patriot- fem squatting around a great pile of miscellaneous ammunition, trying to pick out single cartridges which would fit their guns and their purpose of _ paving the ancient lfberties of their country. Under similar conditions, Washington's army at Valley Forge, with the great factories for modern _ arms and ammunition located in England, would have been as helpless as these Koreans. The declaration of 1776 that all men are “born free” was supported by bullet molds anyone could use and by guns anyone could charge for.deadly re- sults without dependence on the costly machinery which now centralizes the production of arma. As thus centralized, the control of these factor- fes and of their output is the political control of the world and of every country in it at every . crisis In which men depend on arms. The man who can forge his reaping hook into a sword, or use his machete in the attempt to liberate him- self, may be right, he may be just, he may be desperately brave, but all this is absurd against the man with a repeating rifle and a belt sup- phed with ammunition to fit it. Under such conditions, when America is one of the few countries where the manufacture of arms {sg @ great business, we must decide whether this business is political and diplomatic or commer- cial. The modern man, no matter how heroic he is and how noble his cause, is helpless if the “bel- at right” of arming himself against those > are already armed, is denied him. The de- sual of such rights is political or diplomatic. It is not natural or commercial. Nor under our own precedents, is it American. “We need a little more friendly gosstp by Judges over the back fence,” said Thomas W. Shelton of Virginia at the, treal meeting of the American bar. But do¥we need more judi- @lal back-fence gossip over gimplifying court procedure? ft is time to have more of simpli- egal and less of talk. = = ~~ TWO KINDS OP OITY DEBT. David Starr Jordan, denouncing extravagant _ governments of our time, is alarmed by the enor- _. mous increase of bonded debts of European and _ American cities. - There is debt and debt. European cities have fone heavily in debt during the past four decades to buy revenue-producing public utilities, and those _ properties are paying for themselves out of their @arnings. American cities, enlarging their bond- @d debt almost as rapidly as European cities, have _ little property of this kind to show for it. - ur cities, like our railroads, are being used _ te enrich little groups of citizens; whereas the _ Buropean cities are withdrawing from such favored | groups the age-old privilege of laying a profit-tax 2 om the masses of the people. i i i \ —- ww S - ‘We shall now get a court ruling on the question 4 whether the Almighty actually did appoint George , Baer and his associates the trustees of the an- 4 ee ee ce ene ae. - Kansas, “the Massachusetts of the West,” is a | ywondertul State.

The Baltimore Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association has petitioned the Attorney-General to begin suit to dissolve alliances between the New York, New Haven & Hartford and Penn- sylvania railroads and steamship companies now} under their control. Competition between rail and water lines, it is charged, has been sup- pressed by such control. Rates by rail and water are identical, though water transportation costs only one-sixth as much as rail. Attorney-General McReynolds’ belief that the way to destroy monopolies is to split them into reasonably small fractions and forbid common ownership or ‘contro] of the fractions is gaining ground over the Rooseveltian idea that the best the Goyernment can do is to let monopolists com- bine to their heart’s content, and then regulate them as to prices, wages, etc. The futility of “dissolving” a combination of associated corporations, leaving the several “‘dis- solved” concerns in common ownership, has been amply demonstrated in the Standard Oi] and Tobacco Trust cases. \ If the Government is to attempt anything further along that line it must make dissolution actual, so that competition be- tween the-fractions shall be prompted by self- interest in their owners, or its prosecutions will become ridiculous. = = ——-— —- | Senator Cummins declares that selling short on ‘change is one of the greatest vices of the day. A good deal depends upon the point of view. Perhaps one day we shall learn what the Senator thinks about the other side of the mar- ket. ‘= = PUBLIO OWNERSHIP OF OABS. A atep, or rather a leap, into public ownership is suggested in an ingenious plan of which Mr. J. Garrett Hill is the father. It is that the United States shall buy all freight cars in the United States from the railroads, and rent them was te Se Teeny Ot Virtusily_ the sates at pres ent obtaining. The adoption of the plan would cure our an- nual car shortage epidemic, the author contends, in that it would make the Government the dis- tributing agent of rolling stock, and would make it possible for shippers to obtain equipment promptly upon request. Other advantages pointed out are that it would keep the Government in close touch with all freight movement, would put in the possession for present uses, such as additional motive power, terminal facilities and other improve- ments. The adoption of the plan would not, Mr. Hill submits, affect the present officers or employes of the railroads, nor the methods of operating railroads, would not change freight rates or rail- road dividends except to increase them. It is estimated that there are 2,500,000 freight cars in the United States. These the Govern- ment would buy at about $800 each. That makes $2,000,000,000. Then there would be required an expenditure of another billion for storage yards, putting. Uncle Sam in the hole just $3,000,000,000. Under existing rules, when one rattvonie is using another’s freight car, it pays 45 cents a day rental and in addition ~isually 1 cent a milé for its use. Mr. Hill su that the Government charge 50 cents per day per car and 1 cent additional for each mile it travels. Now each freight car tn the United States averages 24 miles a day, Bo. if Uncle Sam owned all the RRA ERP Sey ? cars and they were all working, he he would have of railroad companies all the money they need | .

The annual gross earning thus would be $675,250,000. According to figures submitted by railroad companies, the cost of the upkeep of these freight cars would be $80,000,000 a year. The interest on $3,000,- 000,000 at 4 per cent would be $120,000,000, mak- ing a total yearly expense of $200,000,000. This subtracted from the income leaves a profit of $475,250,000 a year. Which shows how easy it is to get rich on paper. The benefit to the railroads is apparent at a glance. The Pennsylvania Railroad has, for in- stance, 246,665 freight cars. If it sold these to the Government at $800 apiece, it would have $197,332,000 or more than $23,000 a mile of its trackage, which it could invest in terminal fac- ilities, and other improvements and still have all the ready money it would need for years to come. There is food for thought in this proposal, but it brings us to the question of public ownership of railroads to which it is a long step. If the Government can go into the car business, why not the railroad business? &¢e¢ If doubt as to the bridge approach 0 on the East Side side of the river caused the defeat of three bond issues, what will certainty as to the $750,000 south approach on this side of the river do to a fourth issue? WHY SO MANY BACHELORS? By Frank Putnam. Statisticlans inform us there are 8,000,000 bachelors among the 21,000,000 men of voting age in the United States. This unattached male group offsets the more than 7,000,000 American women and girls engaged in gainful industries for self-support. The debt-free home, with healthy children go- ing out of its doors to the democratic public schools, is the ideal unit of society in a free republic. It is the inspiration of patriotism: free men “strike for their altars and their fires,” not for a hotel suite with frequent change of occupants or a hall bedroom with a meal ticket in a hurry-up restaurant. Are American men increasingly loth to marry because they fear to assume the obligations of a home in a time of rising cost of living, or only because, in a period when material considera- tions are uppermost, they share the age-spirit and prefer selfish material ease above the rigors of a real man’s normal career? Within a generation big-corporation ownership or domination of hundreds of main-line industries has made it impossible, or at any rate extra hazardous, for American men of smal] capital to launch independent enterprises, in the old-time fashion. The new industrial order has trans formed into wage earners a very large number of men who under the old order would have built little independent businesses of their own. Have the wage earners less courage to front life’s normal obligations than their fathers had, who fared forth at 21 into a field of free, fair, small-scale competition? Is this loss of courage a part of the mee we pay for huge industrial units, not all of which have cut the price of the necessaries of life they control, despite their cheapening of production cost? Are the more than 7,000,000 American women and girls in factories, mills, stores, offices and a thousand other places earning bread, ‘a part of the price we pay for spectacular largeness and bewildering speed? Is this condition due to the “new feminism,” or is the new feminism due to this condition? Is it conceivable that American women, in a single generation, have so completely changed their character that they prefer wage service out- side the home over the earlier security of its four walls with children around their knees and a@ competent husband providing for its needs? Is the immigration of millions of foreigners, eager to work for low wages in manufacturing and transportation industries bonused by a pa- ternal government, responsible for this obvious crumbling of the walls of the old-time American home? Are we suffering an inevitable reaction from ever closer contact with older, more crowded countries? Have the agencies which stimulate international exchange of commodities under- mined our once proud isolation? Certainly this new affliction which has be- fallen us is an old story in the nations of North- ern Europe. Over there where it is felt to be vitally necessary to maintain the supply of young men for purposes of national defense, to fill regiments and man warships, the nations are making an effort to check the drift toward “sin- gle cussedness” by means of paternal benefits addressed to the workers: state insurance against want due to enforced unemployment, sickness, accident, old age or death. The idea its to en- courage the young man to assume the burdens of home building and the rearing of children. Old World statesmen take it for granted the wom- en will gladly quit their wage jobs if given op- portunity to marry. Are we to come to that? Are we to exchange the ingrained American instinct for gelf-de- velopment, as competent free individuals, for the permanent status of wage-earning, state-insurance- protected employes of the huge industrial units? If so, will we be better off having these units owned and operated by the state than we now are having them owned and operated by char- tered companies of strong individuals, under state regulation? Or shall we be able, as President Wilson has declared he believes we are, to dissever these huge monopolies and near-monopolies into smaller units, and force them to compete by forbidding common ownership? Shall we thus start back to the Arcadian ground from which the new organ- ization of industry—if it be that—has driven us in a single generation? Here is a theme not for statesmen—statesmen are too busy prescribing for symptoms and ef- fects to deal with causes—-but for the group around the fireside: for father, wrestling daily in shop or store or office with the problems of revenue; for mother, planning and pinching and saving and scheming for the future of.her boys and girls, and for any bachelor uncle or aunt who may be available to present the situation from that viewpoint : ee ee fee ere pemetcaeatiete conn ne var \ a ad about despali tor said he was positive he Ss aan move it successfully.

The Euro- pean papers had dropped it, after their sharp criticisms on President Wilson’s message, in reply to which many of our own journals stated that American diplomacy had shown itself the equal, at least, of British diplomacy in the Balkan situation. The general tone of editorial comment was support for President Wilson and confidence in his ability to handle the subject. Our ‘‘Amateurs.’’ New York Evening Post: President Wilson may or may not succeed in his Mexican policy, but one thing is certain, the English newspapers are not entitled to sneer at him for failure. Some of them are now complacently saying that we see what comes of entrusting diplomacy to “amateurs.” Well, for the past two years England has had her finest professional diplomat at work in the Balk- ans, and a fine mess he has made of it. Abolish Monroe Doctrine. New York Herald: Some English newspapers are inclined to criticise President Wilson's policy, but the President probably will find sufficient consolation for that in the fact that his policy iy indorsed by the American people—witness the unanimous demonstration of approval that his message called forth in Congress—and he is re- ceiving the moral support of “certain great Pow- ers.” This latter detail may prove of immense importance, foreshadowing an international ex- change of views on the Mexican question. An in- ternational conference on an American matter would be a new departure, it is true, but that fact is not likely to daunt a progressive states- man and practical philosopher of President Wil- gon’s stamp. He has declared in a multitude of forms that new conditions are making themselves felt in America, and he has surely seen that new conditions are also influencing American foreign relations. We can no longer shape our foreign policy strictly in accordance with Washington’s warning, and the Monroe Doctrine has outlived ite power of enforcement if not its usefulness. It would not be surprising, therefore, if it were found -that President Wilson looks favorably on the idea of dealing with the Mexican problem at an international conference should other means fail to settle it peacefully. **When the Americans Go.’’ Cleveland Leader: Did President Wilson realize what a weapon he was using against Mexico when she urged all Americans to leave that country? Was he aware of the consequences involved to Mexica> industries? When the Americans go, many mines lose their superintendents and engi- neers. Without them the mines must close and miners must starve, steal or beg. When the Americans leave, the railroads are crippled, with Mike results. Many poor men will go hungry be- cause the President has asked Americans work- tne for the Mexican railroads to get out of Mex- feo. It is the same with regard to many other industries. Americans are vital to the success of mills, refineries, docks and many stores. When they go the Mexicans suffer as they have never yet suffered, within the memory of this genera- tion. ‘‘No Credentials.’’ Philadelphia Evening Telegraph: After all, the weakness of President Wilson’s attitude toward Mexico comes of his sending there a man with- out any real. diplomatic credentials, one with whom the Huerta Government could not deal with assurance.‘ Minister Gamboa took dexterous ad- vantage of that fact and took a number of pleni!- potential punches at the diplomatic shade sent out to treat with him. ‘‘Too Much to Expect.”’ Philadelphia Inquirer: The proposition which Lind made that all Mexico should agree to jabide by the vot@’for President has been withdrawn for future consideration. It is not pract’cal A beautiful theory it is that there can be a ton- stitutional election; that the people can select a strong man (otherwise than Huerta) and that all of the diverse factions of Mexican politics can and will fall upon each others’ necks and weep with joy at the arrival of peace. Ideal a situa- tion it would be if all this could only be brought about. But;we greatly fear that it is too much to expect. In the first place, the ballot in Mex- ico is restricted to the few. In the second place, Mexico is overrun with bandit chiefs and revo- lutionists whose occupation would be gone if there was nothing left to quarrel over The revo- lutionists do not agree among themselves. Each band has its leader, and each leader considers himself the only man in Mexico fit to be Presi- dent. So there you are. Is it to be presumed that after the election is over all of these fac- tions will come together in the interests of gen- eral peace? Absurd. Thirty Days. Kaneas City Times: Maybe the United States could be im possession of the Mexican capital ‘within 30 days, as a writer in the Outlook thinks. But such speculation as to the easy success of in-+ tervention makes one think of Napoleon’s surprise at the resistance of Spain. It was “the Spanish ulcer” quite as much as the Russian campaign that brought the French Emperor's downfall. To trifle with the feeling of nationality of a people is to stir up about the hardegt resistance one can hg “Intervention,” If !t should come, would not 2 for conquest—probably. But however benevo- lent {ts purpose might be—however necessary the . fatefulnmess of nations may prove to be—it is oped that no one will start into it with the idea that it is to be more of a frolic than a fight. Drifting. | Washington Post: Dismissing the reports of impending, intervention and blockade as being in conflict with the President's formal statement that he is unalterably opposed to using armed goree to seciire redress, and discounting the con- tinued presence of Mr. Lind at Vera Cruz as a sign of success, it is seen that no progress toward @ solution bas resulted from the diplomatic activies of the past two weeks Virtually, condi- tions do not differ from what they were months ago. However, the recurrence of acute junctures and the hardening of the conviction that-if we do not act Europe will, can have but one mean- ‘ing. The leisurely drift is straight ahead for the rocks that impinge upon fallure of the resources of diplomaty to avert bloodshed. ‘In No Position to Sneer.’’ Pittsburg Dispatch: We are far from certifying that President Wilson's line of action with regard to Mexico will prove successful in restoring peace te thet country. But ff it does not, Europe is in Ho position to sneer at us. Especially its it out of place to say, as some English papers are saying that we see what comes of “amateur diplomacy.” One of the striking aspects of the year’s events has been the exhibition of futility, marked by even less creditable qualities, on the part o European diplomacy with regard to the Balkans. Imitate John Hay. Boston Werald: Nobody called John. Hay's methods amateurish, because such a characteriza- have reflected more on the man who ) of diplomacy were used in a skilful, polished and efficient manner, it was when John Hay brought the Chinese Empress to her knees. Mr. Bryan’s methods may ultimately succeed in Mexico, but the methods of John Hay would have succeeded long ago’and there would have been no crisis and no saucy and impudent notes to cover the re- treat of the Mexican statesmen. Diplomacy is an art that cannot be learned on the Chautauqua circuit, and statesmanship is not acquired over- night. ‘‘Defend Their Property.’’ Detroit News: The Americans who remain in Mexico to defend their property exhibit true cour- age. The Americans who, from the safe vantage of American territory, ask others to take a gun and go down to Mexico to defend their property while they themselves stay at home, have a pe- culiarly distorted view of life. Nothing has oc- curred, either at Washington or at Mexico City, to discourage! foreign property owners in Mexico from enlisting, elther with Huerta or Carranza, for the defense of their interests, and in the hope of setting up a stable government in the land under whose flag they have cast their lot.

Does any statesman really ‘cresee the chance of our engaging in hostilities ; with the German Empire, or with Russia, or with France? There was, of course, that flurry over ferman designs in the Philippines at the time of ur war with Spain. But, then, there was some- hing more than a flurry with Great Britain over Venezuela. No; we must still maintain that con- flict between this country and any European na- ( tion is rendered impossible by other than ethnolo- gical or soctological causes. The old arguments still hold. Situated here on the Western Continent, at a remote distance from the age-old rivalries that make of Europe an armed camp, these United | States are as unlikely to be the armed enemies of one European country as of any other. It is} true, we no longer live in absolute tsolation; yet we are but remotely exposed to the vital hostili- ties and clashes of interest that make for war be- tween great nations. ‘‘Like Two Individuals.’’ Indianapolis News: The Lord Chancellor had eccasion to say some happy words as to the amic- ay FEPqente ye ee ag Lyt Fy ' ipl, Yip “Mss ty i Wim fs +e 4g] y The) j H LAST SPADEFUL FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS JOVRNAL be ¢ .* ate ; ' ] ; ' i | } ' | is” oP Sen Nas = IT STAINS ‘ALL IT TOUCHES FROM THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE able relations existing between the United States and Canada, and between the United States and the whole of Great Britain.

Aims, ambitions, habits, Speech, customs were so much alike as to render the people on one side of the border hard to dis- tinguish from their neighbors. And between them there existed four thousand miles of frontier without a single fort. It would appear to the reader of Lord Haldane's address that in this fa- vorable comparison there ts great encouragement for those who look forward to international peace. The United States and Canada, like two individuals of temperament nearly identical, have much in common. But it Is a fact that individuals of like disposition often find it harder to get along amic- ably than do those of “opposite” types. ‘‘A Marked Difference.’’ Baltimore News: Throughout the greater part of the United States, as well as Canada, the sys- tem of justice is Anglo-Saxon.

If his presence and what he says will giv@ heart to the movement to batter down the mass of technicalities and delays that have weakened public confidence In the courts of this country, and give us a new breath of true spirit of English justice, we shall owe him a debt of gratitude ‘fAn Evolution.’’ Chicago Tribune: Wise words, most profitable for the meditation of the American nation, are the following from the lips of Viscount Haldane, lord high chancellor of Great Britain. “It would be a very sanguine person,” he said, when asked his opinion of the influence of the peace palace at The Hague, “who can see the dawn of international peace. It is useless to look ahead teward the permanent cessation of war in the near future. We-can only do our best and trust to the progress of opinion. The coming of the millen- nium of peace must be ar evolution like every- thing else, but some day we must come to the re- alization of the fact that we can settle our dif- ferences in a better way than by quarreling with each other.” Americans need the hint badly. We are na-. tlonal optimists, because we have been favored by nature and by fortune. The pressure of iinmi- nent national peril does’ not compel us to look facts in the face or closely to follow changing conditions. We are idealistic as well as material- : istic and commercial. Therefore we neglect the. — need of national defense and are over ready to save money by belleving itn the millennium. Peace on earth was preached two thousand years ago.

They will come to this country, accept all kinds of attentions, declare that we are the salt of the earth, and then, when they get home, pub- lish lengthy articles abusing the people they have so recently visited. Prince Henry, of Prussia, adopted another policy. He was always courteous while in this country, but he reserved the kind things he had to say about this eountry until he was back in Berlin. HE progress of the Ourren 4 Congress is being closely throughout the country. The ers in their attempt to control the details — .of the measure, which received a check from President Wilson, find but little support in leading journals. | ‘‘Reasoning Together.” New York World: There has begun another agitation that Congress shall sit down with bank- ers over the Currency bill and “reason together.” This is what the framers of the bill have been doing. They took for its groundwork a bill which had the “unqualified approval” of the American Pankers’ Association. They have since made large — concessions to the banking interests, ag in the reduction of reserve requirements. They wrought s) well as tb win indorsement from “hundreds of bankers,” to quote Chairman Glass, and approval was quite general “until some of the big banks inaugurated a systematic campaign against the bill among their country correspondents.” This is another Wall street and big-bank maneuver to bend the proposed currency system to their own control. They are still working for a central bank, or at most five Federal reserve banks, which can better be dominated by them than the 12 re- gional reserve banks provided by the bill as it stands. But if they cannot dislodge Government — control, they demand freedom to stay out of the new system and perpetuate the panic-breeding an- archy of the present system. What is the use of trying to “reason together” over such demands as. these? ‘‘Pure Demagogy.”” : Philadelphia Inqutrer: A few of the Democratic radicals in both houses are opposed to any hear- ings on the ground that the Chicage conference of bankers was not representative and on the fur- ther ground that as the bankers are interested parties they have no right to be heard [t appears from a poll of bankers throughout the country that they stand back of the proposed amendments formulated at Chicago, so that this argument falls t» the ground. As to the other, when in this world did it ever happen that interested persons in a dispute were not to be heard? Our whole judi- cial system is based on the principle of giving the man attacked the fairest sort of hearing before a competent jury. But in this instance it is pro- posed that the Senate Committee shall refuse hearings from those most interested and act as a jury without hearing the most crucial evidence in the whole case. There is ne common sense in such a proposal It is unjust and unmaniy. It is pure demagogy. : The Stumbling Block. Chicago Tribune: The chief stumbling block from the bankers’ point ef view is the composi- tion and powers of the Central Reserve Board. As © to these some few stand-patters are making a great to do, but the mass of banking and business opinion, we believe, does not sympathise with their violent attitude. The consensus ef opinion among bankers and business men seems to be increas- ingly favorable to the measure and, while desim ing some further amendments in details, is far from believing that ite faults are dangerous. The stand-patters are asking for concessions they will not and ought not to be given, as the most broad minded and public spirited of the bankers would privately admit The advisory council idea is a good one, and it should be accepted by the | administration The counct] should be given, per- haps, some sort of a check upon some of the pow- ers of the Reserve Board. ‘*Vague Suspicion."’ New York Evenizg Post: In the future stages of the discussion on the bill, ts the legitimate op- pertunity for broad-minded bankers and business — men of the country to serve a public purpose.

VESCARA, Italy, Sept. 6.—Society which flocked to Vallombrosa during the first half of August has now turned its attention to Pescara, a 2>vely little town on the Adriatic coast which has suddenly jumped into prominence by producing a series of plays by D’Annunzio in an open air theater, fashioned in the magnificent pine woods stretching along the coast and reaching some miles inland. . All the artistic and all of fashionable Rome has focused on what for the moment, from an artistic standpoint, is the most interesting spot in the kingdom. For here are surroundings of un- equaled beauty and in a natural amphitheater, the Italian poet is being paid such homage, not con- fined to his own countrymen, as few authors re- eeive in their lifetime. Numerous telegrams of congratulations have come from persons of all ranks and nationalities. The Duchess of Aosta acknowledged and accepted an invitation to be present. Sarah Bernhardt re- plied: “I have boundless admiration for the poet, an illimitable friendship for the man.” Mme. Roger, another Parisian actress writes: “The au- thor is not in exile, because the world is his country.” Innumerable notabilities in the Parisian world of art and letters continue to send messages. Neted Artists im “Giloconda” Cast. A especial invitation was sent to Maurice Barres to assist at the | first presentation of P’Annunzio’s latest tragedy. Barres, though un- able to come, has sent a splendid tribute to the genius of D’Annunzio, whom he recently met in Paris, “where he is being feted ina manner worthy of his sublime art.” The fete began on Sunday with “La Gioconda,” which was given before a great audience assem- bled from all parts of Italy. Under a brilliant blue sky, the fluttering of the pines in the sum- mer breeze mingled with the subdued murmur of the waves breaking on the neighboring shore. Otherwise there was no sound outside, and the performers’ voices reached the farthest end of the auditorium. All the artists taking part are in the front rank of the profession. They include Mme. Emile Varini, who took the part of Sylvia Settela. Et- tore Berti was Juico Settela, Mme Van Ryel made an ideal Sirenetta, while Giloconda was played by Mme. Carmen Vessalilo. The natural scenery of this open-air stage leaves nothing to be desired, and gives a touch of reality to the spirit of the play which cannot be obtained in artifictal sur- roundings. ‘ The town ts gayly decorated and accommoda- famine prices. American hostesses were to the fore in the round of social gayety at Vallembrosa, a Switzer- land, on a reduced scale, with its forest land, forges and cascades and mountain heights dotted with villas overlooking the valley of the Arno. "It is the most charming spot in alf Italy,” de- clared Princess Rospigliosi” Tango Wins Exclustve Ftalfians. There was a social battle at Vallombrosa this Beason over tango. Finally a compromise was reached, those who cared to dance it doing so, while those it scandalized held aloof. The question was raised in the committee of arrangements for the big ball of the season, which was preceded by a children’s dance. Members of the “black aristocracy” (the ultra-Catholics) on the commit- tee strongly objected to official recognition of that “godless, lascivious importation from the other side of the Atlantic,” as Countess Redrigo described it. There was heart-burning in the small but compact minority when the ayes were found to have a large majority. _ Flushed with conquest the victors sent specially to Rome for Maestro Pichetti, a famous dancing master, who sees in the tango a new field for his art and whose classes since its introduction into Italy are increasing by leaps and bounds. It was a preity sight at the children’s fete to see little ones ranging in age from 6 to 10 performing the willowly undulation of the two-step in perfect time to the music and with a perfection which many grown-ups failed to rival. Both fetes took place at the Grand Hotel of the Cross of Savoy, which was magnificently decor- ated for the occasion. At the bail for adults the cotillon was led by Prince and Princess Collona 4i Piliano, Princess Gerache, Mrs. Siegel of New York, her daughter, Miss Wilde, Mme: De Pourtales, Marquis d’Aul- letta, Countess Mouravieff, Marchioness Guillermi, Countess Vitali, Admiral Bertaini, Countess Frass- ineto di Ferrara, Marquis and Marchioness Miscia- telli and a host of other leading members of the aristocracy.

Ten years ago the Duke married Miss May Goe- let, daughter of the late Ogden Goelet of New York. In tHe decade since then no child has come to the couple. From the time the present Duke succeeded to the title in 1892, his brothe¢, Lord Lord Alastair also married a New York lady, Miss Anne Breese, six years ago and is the father of two promising boys, Lord Alastair James, whe will be 5 years old next month, and Lord David Charles who will be 3 years old in January. If the stork carries a boy to Chesterfield House their noses will be out of joint, but if the new- comer is a girl, little Lord Alastair will still be In line for the Dukedom after his father and Lord David will be a possibility. In any case, the fu- }ture Duke will be half America”. —~ 705 Locust St. | The New Fall Models Are In and you can make your selections with the com- plete assurance that you have had the very latest this season will offer from which to select.

Miss Sarah Talbot Kavanaugh to Marry Walter Valentine Churchill-Longman, Member of Prominent English Family, Whom She Met While Visiting London. By FRANCES CABANNE SCOVEL. ND now for another startling bit of news. Miss Sarah Talbot Kavanaugh is going to marry a hyphenated Englishman, Walter Valentine Churchill-Longman, whom she met when she and her mother, Mrs. William K. Kavanaugh, were visiting Sir Robert and Lady Hadfield and Lady Hadfield’s sister, Miss Idly Wicker- iham, in London, in May. Verily, it is out of a fair sky that the most surprising bolts come and, im shop talk, it is always from a becalmed desk ir s newspaper office that he best ‘‘stories break.’’ | With the electric fans whizzing up the tet alr and the thermometer soaring wward, and not much to talk about ex- pt the much-discussed debutantes and autumn brides during the lull that al- ways precedes the first rush of the so- “al season, what ceuld be of more in- erest the announcejnent that two nore St. Louis girls are going to marry | three within a; Englishmen, making tear? The Peck-Thornburgh marriage was the first. Mies Isabel Valle’s engagement to fames Hope-Nelson, the eldest son of ie Wiliam Hope-Nelson of Moreton-in- Marsh, Leicestershire, was announced friday in the Post-Dispatch, and the vedding, to follow closely upon the heels if the betrothal, will take place Wednes- lay, Oct. 1, at the home of the bride’s lather, Dr. Jules Felix Valle, in Mary- and place. Miss Kavanacogh’s marriage will take lacs some time within a year, but Whether here or abroad has not been an- 1ounoced. It probably will be at Selma Hall, the beautiful Kavanaugh estate on the Mississippi bluffs, which, being losed during Mrs. Kavanaugh’s absence, will be epened for the occasion when the and her daughter return. Mr. Churchill-Longman’s family in- tludes the Marlboroughs, Wyndhams, Shurchills and the Duke of Norfolk, who #@® a member of the same house. . Mrs. Kavanaugh and her daughter are 80Ww in Berlin, where they will remain intil the later winter. Miss Kavanaugh has not yet been pre- tented to society, and it was thought the would be one of the debutantes of this autumn, but she went abroad to re- teive her finishing touches and do some ttudying. Lady Hadfield, who was Miss Frances Wickersham, and Miss Lily Wicker- sham, are sisters of former Attorney- General Wickersham, and are from Pittsburg. They are life-long friends of Mrs. Kavanaugh, who was Miss Edna Boggs of Pittsburg. Mr. Kavanaugh has been one of the me movers in the proposed deep wa- from lakes to gulf and is civical- y and socially prominent. Miss Valle will some day be Lady Hope-Nelson and the title is hereditary. Mr. Hope-Nelson arrived here in May with C. N. Trappes-Lomax, another roung Englishman, and stopped at the Washington Hotel. They had gone to whool at Stonyhurst with George In- fram Drew and had visited here before. Mrs. Ephron Catlin Jr. was there spon- sor, and they had a ‘beautiful time” luring their stay. They were on their Way around the world, but the trip was interrupted after Mr. Hope-Nelson met Miss Valle, and when she went to Alaska marly in the summer with Mr. and Mrs. fom Riggs of Washington, D. C., he Wired to know if he could join the party, which was a Government inspec- ion trip of some high officials, and $0 he went along. When Miss Valle re- ed, the middle of July, she went pver to Pittsfield, Ill., to stay with her fister, Mra. Charlies Leonard, andi came back to town only a few days ago. Mrs. Riggs, who, by the way, was Miss @race Coudert, the sister of Mrs. Conde ist Nast of New York, was married pniy last April. and the Alaskan trip was a continuation of the wedding trip. After their marriage, Mr. Hope-Nelson will take his bride to England, and as {aay Forbes-Leith of Fyvie, who was Miss Mary lL. January, is a relative, she will be well sponsored. ’ Miss Valle made her debut two seasons ago and was pronounced one of the preatest belles of St. Louls. In Newport, travel. The bridegroom-elect and his brother, William Hope-Nelson, will sail frem England, Sept. 17. Mre. Herman A. Steinwender ‘Jr. thot a seven-pronged buck all by herself and is having the head mounted for her dining room. And it ten't the first game she has brought down. For the last twe or three summers the S8teinwendera, among other St. Louisans, have fore- sworn fashionable summer resorts tnd have been going up inte the wilds of Wisconsin to a camp 26 miles from the nearest settlement, to hunt and fish, and have all the good, wholesome life of the open without any of the real discomforts. Last summer Mrs. Steinwender cilled two deer, and this year has added a much coveted buck gbFeE Tete fl : 'niece, Miss Edna Griesedieck, who joined the party in July, and Edwin Stanard, who will marry Miss Griesedieck in the autumn, and who went up in August, returned last night. With the debutantes, the autumn brides and the Veiled Prophet's ball, things are beginning to liven up a bit, and as people return to town they tell how they have been sleep- ing under blankets and freezing to death (freeze? They ain’t no such word!), and promptly begin asking all about the three subjects just mentioned. The debutantes! A few more words and also a few more names must be added. Mrs. Henry Haydel will introduce her cousin, Miss Virginia Lebeau, the daughter of the late Dr. Lebeau. Miss Lebeau was graduated from Maryville last June and makes her home with the Haydels, It is said that she is very attractive and is old-fashioned enough to be shy— which is one of the greatest assets in a debutante’s bag of tricks and when natural ohe of the greatest charms. She is related to most of the old French families, and, as both parents had a large connection, of course many of the clan will enter- tain for her. Another bud this season will be Miss Ellen Glasgow, whose sister, Miss Mary Branch Glasgow, will marry Leland Chivvison in the fall. The Glasgows, too, have a large fam- ily connection, which intludes many who will do their part in making Miss Glasgow a belle. Both Glas- gow girls make their home with their aunt, Mrs. Charles Branch, in Webster Groves; Mr. and Mrs. Banjamin Grats will present their daughter, Miss Marian Gratz, who, if she follows family tra- ditions, will naturally be a belle, as was her sister, Miss Hermine Grats, who is now Mrs, Edward Howe Wat- son, wife of Commander Watson, JU. S. N. Miss Margaret Wright, the young- est daughter of George M. Wright, will make her formal bow this fall under the chaperonage of her sisters, Mrs. James Ford Jr. and Mra. Law- rence 8. Day. She has the same well-groomed look of her sisters that makes them two of the best-dressed women in St. Louis. And there is Miss Eugenie Blanke, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Blanke, who is one of the daintiest of the blondes of the fairest Gretchen type. The last debutante to be heralded from afar is Miss Mercedes Dwyer, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Dwyer, 4936 Lindell boulevard, graduated in July from the Sacred Heart Convent in Vienna, Austria, with the highest honors of the school. It was the first time in eight years that a girl had had the high average required for the gold medallion. She knows French and German as she does English and, according to all accounts, is quite a remarkable girl, besides being pretty and an heiress. She will be home in October. Miss Eleanor Cahill, who !s abroad with her mother, Mrs. James G. Ca- hill, will be home the last of October, too late to be one of the Maids of Honor at the ball. She will make her debut soon after her arrival. Shipment ef Parisian millinery received Saturday. Bally Meagher, Century Bldg. News from abroad has caused a stir in the debutante set—that Miss Eleanore Scott, Miss Carlo Miller and Miss Jane MeNair will not be home until late in October, too late for the ball, where debutantes make their first formal bow to St. Louis, in the broadest sense of the word, and on the occasion when the highest civic and social honor ts con- ferred upon one girl, who is chosen Each of these girls was thought to _—— ——., Is This Why English Beauties Are So Fair? (From Lendon Herald.) ' Ever since the -Aliscevery that mer- colized wax would absorb and remove a soiled complexion, its use by ladies as a substitute for toilet creams has grown rapidly. A perfect complexion can be maintained indefinitely if this remark- able substance is used. Its beneficient cleansing, clearing and preservative ac- tion is quickly apparent, and ladies who have been paying as high as a guinea a jar for “special cream” from beaut specialista, soon recognize that mercol- ized wax eoutranks them all. It has be- some so popular that it can be obtained et all chemist shops tn the British Islea American druggists aise have great de- mead for it, in original ene-ounce pack- ages.

GOES TO NEW STORE Change of Homes Is Marked With the Precision of a Well Trained Army. It was as tf a small army were moved with military precision at 4 o'clock yesterday, when the employes of the Famous & Barr Co. stepped forth from the old store at Washington ave- nue and Sixth street, to take possession of the new premises in the Railways Exchange Building on the old Barr block, a building that has more square feet of area than any. other ia the world. It is no exaggeration to allude to the employes of the Famous & Barr Co. as “an army,” for they number in the thousands, and for months they have been drilled with such care that when the new store is opened at 8:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, it is safe to predict that there will be no hitch BDvery sales person in this small army is thor- oughly familiar with his or her respect- ive station. Part of the drilling process has been in marching the employes in squads of 50 from the old building to the new, and then conducting them through each department. Clever lectur- ers impressed upon the minds of each squad just where every class of mer- chandise is located. So that if the pur- chaser seeking a tin pan tomorrow morning happens into the dress goods department, he or she will soon be told where the article desired is kept. The entire removal from one store to the other was made yesterday afternoon fin less than two hours after the store had closed for the week. Every detail had been mapped out sc complete that there was absolutely no confusion. Ev- ery move was conducted on a system- atic basis. And all this despite the fact that for weeks big ships, docking in the East, have carried in the new importations, which in turn were shipped by freight to St. Louis, then carted to the new building, placed in the sections of the store allotted to them and then turned over to the army of “taggers,” who affixed the price in plain figures on each piece of every consignment. This in itself was no amall task. The company has a corps of store ®suides, who are as familiar about the location of each article as are wood- men familiar with each tree and eaci etream in the mountains. Although the new store will be opened for the first time tomorrow, the forma) opening will be on Sept. 16. ‘LOUISVILLE TO GET TAXES ON ST.

NTROL PLUMBING WORK ADVOCATED Plumbers Want Supervision Transferred From Board of Public Improvements. WOULD INSURE SANITATION Department Now _ Neglected, They Say—Rigid Enforce- ment of Law Asked. Transfer of the city plumbing de- partment from control ef the Board of Public Improvements to the Health Department to obtain stricter enforcement of sanitary plumbing laws was advocated before the Board of Public Improvements last week by a committee representing the Master & Journeymen Plumbers’ Association Under existing conditions the s8u- ‘pervisor has no power, the commit- tee declared, to enforce laws requir- ing sanitary plumbing. The depart- ent is«neglected by the “Board of Public Improvements, they asserted, although proper plumbing is essen- tial to the health of the people. Members of the committee told of numerous instances of the installa- tion of defective plumbing, and said that after the plumbing was once put in the supervisor had no power to condemn it and cause its removal. He did have the power, and frequent- ly used it, they said, to compel li- censed and bonded plumbers to in- stall standard; sanitary plumbing, but it was necessary for him to see them doing the defective work. Would Raise Importance. The transfer of the plumbing de- partment to control of the Board of Health, the plumbers said, would tend to give it more importance in the estimation of the public. The Board of Health was a more effec- tive agency in the prosecution of vio- lators of the plumbing laws than the Board of Public Improvements, they contended. | “If the plumbing department prose- cutes a case the jurors seem to get the idea the plumbers are back of it, and, acquit the defendant,” said a member of the cammittee. The committee said that the plumbing departments of Chicago, Mleveland, New York, Baltimore, Bos- ton, Philadelphia and Washington were under the ,supervision of the Boards of Health, but only in St Louis*and southern cities Lae N a 1+ ae . ki et sans ’ v x of oe See I , . : | ** it : : se se 7 il t, - +, “ . as i OP >* gies . % r ™ > oe Extra Special!

There will be a tremendous vogue for fur trimming, both for the elab- orate and for the more simple style of garments. The skirts are all gracefully draped and slashed.

Haub, Who Dies After Washington Avenue Acc.dent. . “ha on Washington avenue, he saw the man in the white suit and another man, in blue serge, standing in the street talk- ing. He sounded his horn, and said the man in blue stepped upon the side- walk and, putting his hands on the shoulders of the man in white, ap- parently pushed him. He stepped in front vf the machine, Rehfeldt said, just as Rehfeldt was trying to turn the car so as to avoid striking him. Mrs. Oberg learned that no -noncy had been found in her father’s pocket. She said she could not understand how he would be downtown without so much as carfare. No one has been able to tell who the man in blue was, or where he went, though the police took the names of several witnesses. Haub had a wife and nine chiidren. seven of them sons. He had been in the employment of the Missouri Pacific $4 years. Coroner Bopp of St. Louis County was notified of his death, and came into the city to make an inves- tigation. The inquest will be held by the City Coroner, beginning tomorrow morning. a John C, Haub, 50 years old, agent for the Missouri Pacific at Glencoe, -St. Louis County, was run down at Ninth street and Washington avenue at 9 a. m. yesterday by an automobile run by Arthur W.

He died at 8:30 last night at the Missouri Pacific Hospital from a fracture of the skull. + Haub, who was wearing a white duck suit, was at first supposed by the police to be a street cleaner. Rehfeldt took him in his machine to the city dispen- sary and followed him to the city hds- pital. When Haub’s daughter, Mrs. G. H. Oberg of 3829 Easton avenue, reached the hospital, she found Rehfeldt kneel]- ing, by his cot, praying for his recovery. Mrs. Oberg had her father removed to the Missouri Pacific Hospital, where for the last 10 days he had been a pa- tient.

Declares Nation’s Head . Best Prepared of Any Man Who Ever Held the Office. —————EEE WATERVILLE, Me. Sept. 6.— “Woodrow Wilson is the best pre- pared of any man who has gone into the White House as President,” said Secretary of State Bryan today, in calling upon the voters of the Third Congressional District to uphold the Democratic administration by elect- ing William R. Pettangall, the Demo- cratic candidate for Congress, at Monday's election. Bryan’s remarks in eight addresses, in three of the five counties of the district, were de- voted to national affairs. It was at Belfast that Bryan ex- tolled the qualities of President Wil- son. He said “Our President stands as an ex- ponent of the best principles of to- day, just as Thomas Jefferson stood as the exponent of the Democratic principles years ago. No man can tell Woodrow Wilson what to do He has a mind of his own/ He is a real friend of the people. This campaign is @ very important one, for it is aiding the administration to lead the people to higher ideals, and to work on the side of the people.” Mexican Controversy. Discussing the Mexican contro- versy, the Secretary of State said: “Thae was a legacy to President W11- son from the previous administration. Your President is trying to lift in- ternational politics to a higher plane and is. handling the Japanese and Mexican questions with great diplo- matic skill.’ Bryan praised the President as a man of masterly ability, perfect poise and sincere desire to help all the people in their struggle for good government. “President Wilson,” he said, “has wor a victory such as no President has accomplished in his work for world-wide peace.” BRYAN TOP-LINER IN A TENT SHOW Secretary of State to Do Num- ber of One-Night Stands on Chautauqua Circuit.

Salazar’s | Federal command at Juarez, crossed | the Stanton street international bridse |. this afternoon he remarked that he “was going to kill a gringo.” He was killed by United States Cus- toms Inspector T. F. Jonah and Immi- gration Inspector Thomas N. Heifron, after he had opened fire on them with a rifle on the American side of the inter- national boundary. , He was shot through the mouth and arm, and his horse, from which he had dismounted, was shot through the side. The American officers were uninjured. Killed 30 Feet Away. Heifron was standing at the Amer-! ican end of the bridge when Acosta first opened fire at him. He fired back, using an automatic pistol.

The warrant was issued by Justice Wangelin on complaint of Joseph ,Bier, who charged that Fink, as trustee, had released a $1500 mort- gage without his knowledge, after receiving the amount due. When Fink’s presence in the office of his lawyer, R, W. Ropiequet, in the First National Bank Building, became known on the Public Square, a crowd gathered around the door of the building. Charles A. Karch, a member of the Legislature, and attorney for the complainant who caused the warrant to be issued, told Sheriff Mulconnery that he heard some persons in the crowd threaten violence against Fink. Mulconnery and Deputy Sheriff Petri then took turns standing in the en- trance of the building, and at lemeth the crowd dispersed.

When he _ re- turned two days later with another bag of tarnished gold gossip ensued. And when he reappeared yesterday, with a third bag of gold caked with mud, to- gether with several rolls of mildewed greenbacks, a sensation followed. The gold deposits amounted to about $9000. In addition, there was $1000 in Gills, besides a quantity of war-time bills in denominations of 15, 25, 50 ana 7% cents, totaling about $100. Eight days ago Claytoa B. Kellam, aged 80, brother of Henry, died. He was regarded as eccentric by his neighbors, but was believed to have left an estate of about $25,00, consisting of his farm and money in the bank.

Zerface, who is 21 years old, lost his job as chauffeur about. six months ago, when Mr. and Mrs, Eck- hoff discovered he was in love with Dorothy and that she reciprocated his attachment. At the time of the elopement, Zer- face was employed by Charles Peters of 6220 Westminster place and lived at the Peters home.

Miss Isabel Valle of St. Louis vastly surprised some members of the lucky young man’s family, and all his friends here. In fact, Hope-Nelson had kept the engagement secret, even from his broth- er, Hugh, who knew nothing of it until told today by the American’s corre- spondent. He is son and heir of Sir William Hope-Nelson, Bart., a millionaire ship owner and chairman of the Nelson Line of steamships and of the Nelson Steam Navigation Co. , At his home, Batsford Park, More- ton-in-the-Marsh, Gloucester, Hope-Nel- son at first would not admit he had won the young Woman. But when pressed, he confirmed his engagement to Miss Valle. “T first met Miss Valle early last sum- mer, when.I was in St. Louis,” said he. “I was on a three-months’ shooting and fishing tour in America. I met ‘ther again at Dawson City Alaska. It was while we were witn a party of friends on a boating tour down the river to Vancouver that I proposed and was ac- cepted. “That is all I have to tell,” cancluded Hope-Neison, smiling happily, “except }- that I shall return to America this month. Our wedding is arranged to take place in St. Louis in October.” The engagement of Miss Valle to the young Englishman was announced ex- clusively in Friday’s Post-Dispatch. it attracted wide attention, because of Miss Valle’s acknowledged position as one of the noted beautiful young wom- en of St. Louls society. At Newport, in 1912, Miss Valle was declared by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt to be “the best-looking girl in Amer- ica.”” Mrs. Robert Goelet’s reply was at the Visitation Convent, asked him to accompany her to the foot of Olive street, where Tony Jannus wWas to give an exhibition in his hydroaero- plane. Baker remembered that only «4 frantic telegram to his brother, C. N. Baker of Paducah, Ky., prevented his daughter last May from fulfilling her plan to fly with Jannus from that city to St. Louis. There was quite a crowd on the Levee when the Bakers arrived. “Papa,” said the demure Miss Bak- ler, “won't you let me get in the fly- ing boat just to have my picture taken?” Baker could and consented. see no harm in that, The craft was pulled against the Sank enc Miss Baker climbed aboard. Junnus directed that the plane be pushed a little way out into the water, “to make the pic- ture more lifelike,” he explained to Baker, who nodded his head in ap- proval. What was his surprise, when sud- denly Jannus touched a lever, the motor burst into a‘roar. and the laughing cougle, waving their hands, began sweeping along the water and then soared into the air! Baker shook his fista at the aeroplane, which was swiftly diminishing to- ward the south. Next he turned up- on Tom Benoist, whom he accused of en- gineering the coup, and declared that nothing would delight him more than to thrash him on the spot. The fiying boat dwindled and then disappeared, . Minute after minute passed, with Baker still declaimmsg to Benoist that he was “ho gentile- man.” While the anxious father waited in suspense the daughter sailed down to Jefferson Barracks.

August Barthel, attorney for many of the clients of Fink, said yesterday that he had discovered that Fink had Placed two first mortgages on the same piece of property in East St. Louis. A first mortage for $3800 was given to Barthel as trustee, the money be- ing loaned by Peter . Hermann of Freeburg, Til.

It was about this time that his flancee,. Miss Amelia Hild, of Freeburg, Ill., moved to a fiat at 4476A Cook avenue. Since then he has been seen at his former haunts on only a few occasions. Here is a story of Fink’s generosity related about a set of costly furs worn by Miss Hild. Fink and Miss Hild were in a street car one day when a woman friend of Miss Hild got on. The friend was wearing a set of furs which Miss Hild admired greatly. “Oh, don’t fret,” said the friend. “Henry here will buy you a set just like them.” The next day, so the story goes, Miss Hild was wearing an exact 4u- plicate of the furs gst-e had admired and she smiled when asked if “Henry” had purchased them, his visits to St. Louis, with a repurt- er. He said he occasionally bought wine but said that he was never a big spender. He said he had given up his night trips to St. Louis in re- cent years, He said the night life in St. Louis had nothing to do with his financial failire and that his expenditures were well within h‘s persona) income.

DISCOVERY OF RABIES _ GERM IS ANNOUNCED. New York Physician Isolates Protozoan, Supporting 8t. Lotis Doctor’s Theory. By Leased Wire From the New York Burean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 6—Dr. Hideyo No- guchi of the Rockefeiler Institute for Medical Research in this eity has dis- covered and cultivated the germ of rabies. For 3 years pathologists have sought to isolate the germ which pro- duces hydrophobia, but without success. When Dr. George Gibier Rambaur, di- rector of the Pasteur Institute, learned otf Dr. Noguchi’s report he was much interested. “If this report emanated from any source than Dr, Noguchi I would be in- clined to discredit it,” he said. “Tf Dr. Noguchi states that he has successfully cultivated the parasite of rabies it is coubtless true. “The other day I read of a positive cure which it was sald had been ac- complished in a case of human rables by Dr. Downey L. Harris, City Bacte- riologist of St. Louis, by injections of quinine solutions. “I said then that if the germ of ra- bies was a protozoan, such @n asser- tion was credible, but believing tha: the germ was a bacterium [ eee believe the report. “The germ of malaria is a and quinine is effective in the treatment of that disease.

Some of the leaders tonight predict- sted the bill would pass with a majority : : ; vof four or five votes. . | That this estimate is well-founded ‘was indicated tonight when a vote was taken on an amendment offered by Senator Works of California for a Tariff Commission. Senators Ransdell of Louisana and Tewis of Illinois, Democrats, an- nounced that they favored a Tariff Commission, but voted against it be- cause they believed it should be ac- complished in separate legislation. The amendment was rejected, 32 to ys 87, by a strict party vote. ! | District After the Democratic caucus, which ex- tended into the early hours this morning, ‘all obstacles in the way of party har- money had been removed. An important development of the day was the striking from the bill of the unterva‘ling Cuty on wood pulp, a pro- "vision designed as retaliation against Canada for wood pulp restrictions. Cummins Amendment Beaten. Senator Cummins made an effort to have the Senate adopt an amendment that would prevent railroads from charg- ing a higher rate for carrying American- made goods than they charge on im- ported goods over the same trackage The Cummins amendment was defeated, 33 to 24. Senator Simmons, leading the Demo- cratic forces against the provisions, said that the Democratic program for the next sessior! of Congress would embrace adequate consideration of trust and rail- road questions and that the Democrats did not want to Ioad the tariff bill down with important railroad rate legislation such as the Cummins provision pro- posed. Income Tax Rates. 3 Amendments to the income tax sec- tion, as agreed upon late last night at the Democratic caucus, were adopted practically without debate, when offered by Senator Williams. The chief amendment increases the in- come tax rate from the limit of the orig- inal House bill and makes income tax amount to 1 per cent on incomes from $3000 to $20,000, 2 per cent from $20,000 to $50,000, 3 per cent from $50,000 to $75,000, 4 per cent from $75,000 to $100,000, 5 per cent from $100,000 to $250,000, 6 per cent from $250,000 to $500°000 and 7 per cent above $500,000. Senator Bristow gave notice he would |’ : n offer his amendment for a grad- tax running up to over 10 per cent on incomes above $100,090. Cotton Futures Tax Agreed To. Senator Clarke’s' amendment, as- sessing a tax of one-tenth of a cent _ per pound on all cotton sold for fu- ture delivery, was agreed to with an amendment postponing its operation until Sept. 1, 1914. Senator Cummins called up his amendment providing for a tax of 10- per cent on all sales on stock exchanges or boards of trade where- in the seller is not the owner of the stock at the time of the transaction. He said he believed it would restrict, if not abolish, short sales or “specu- lative. gambling, one of the greatest evils of our commercial system.” Senator Clarke declared he would _@ladly co-operate in the enactment ©f such legislation at some future time, but that the present was not | Union Worker Twice Arrested , Saturday, Once for Disturb- the time.

HAS THREE JOBS TO FILL Assistant, Secretary and Stenog- rapher Are the Only Places at His Disposal. ‘\ Colin ‘M. Selph, newly appointed postmaster, will spend the next three weeks in| learning the work and methods of the Postoffice. He re- -celved a/ letter from Postmaster Akins yesterday, volunteering to give him all possible facilities for study- ing the work of the office, and in- viting him to visit the different de- partments at his convenience. Selph yesterday got dozens of tele- grams and letters of congratulation on his appointment, which was made by President Wilson Friday after- noon and was immediately con- ‘firmed by the Senate. The only con- dition that remains to be met js the filing of his bond in the sum of $300,000. He said yesterday he ex- pected to take charge of the office! about Oct. 1. Three Jobs to Fill. He received some applications for positions in the postoffice, but re- minded the applicants that only three places would be at his disposal. These positions are those of secre- tary and stenographer, and the im- portant post of Assistant Post- master. The Assistant Postmaster is usually appointed from the ranks of those most familiar with the administra- tion of the office, so that the appoint- ment is not a personal one for the new Postmaster, but rathet a promo- tion of someone now in the office. All the other positions in the office are filled under civil service rules. The Selph appointment was 4 topic of discussion throughout S5t. Louis yesterday, and none expressed more surprise over the outcome of the long fight than did some of Selph’s closest friends, who had given up hope that he would succeed against the op- position of the Francis-Major coali- tion. Firm of “Major and I.” An editorial in the St. Louis Re- public, David R. Francis’ paper, which said the appointment was “purely political, and made without reference either to the fitness of the applicant or the wishes of the peo- ple of St. Louis,” was taken as ex- pressing the views of the St. Louis member of the political firm of “Gov. Major and I.” The existence of this firm was made known in a letter written by Francis last June to Secretary Hous- ton, in which, speaking of the ef- forts of Senators Stone and Reed and: Speaker Clark to control Misouri Federal patronage, he asked: “Are Gov. Major and I to be ignored?” How long Gov. Major will continue this political connection is another subject of speculation. The Gover- nor has shown senatorial aspirations, and while this would not point to an alliance with either Stone or Reed, it would make it unlikely that Major would be willing to antagonize all those whom Francis considers his enemies. And any political alliance to which Francis is a party must be both an offensive and a defensive al- Hance. | 3000 CATHOLIC ATHLETES impending Clash With Anti- Clericals Gauses Police to Prohibit Parade.

With his wife and three children, he lives in Overland Park, and his offices are in the Benoist Building. Smith was arrest- ed and late in the evening was released on bond. % According to Mrs. Smith, who has been married five years and has two children. she went to her husband’s office soon after noon, as they had planned to spend the afternoon looking for a flat. During the summer they lived with her mother. Men Together in Saloon. shop, Finley arrived and asked his‘ boy- hood friend to have a drink. They went to a nearby saloon. After they had been gone some time Finley’s partner, Roy 8S. Rauchkolb, telephoned that Mrs. Finley was at her husband's office. Mrs. Smith told Rauchkolb where they were, and he joined them. Soon after Rauchkolb reached the sa- loon, Finley drew Smith aside and made an offensive remark about Mrs. Smith, according to her husband. At the time Smith said nothing, and the three men walked to the printing office. Rauchkolb hastened forward to speak to Mrs. Smith, and her husband went into the pressroom adjoining. Soon he was heard to exclaim to Finley: ‘‘you’ve got to take that back.” Finley did not reply and Smith snatched a revolver from his pocket and shot him. He had got the weapon in the pressroom. Wife Steps Between Them. Mrs. Smith rushed between the two men and cried to her husban: “Shoot me, if you've got to shoot anybody.” rs Policemen who heard the report rushed in and disarmed Smith. His wife and Rauchkolb were taken to the Central District to give their evi- dence. Rauchkolb then. went to the Benoist Building and told Mrs, Fin- ley that her husbani had been wounded. Smith is 26 years old and Finley is 30. Smith is a son of the late Fred H. Smith,, Republican City Committee- man, who was killed in an automo- bile accident about two years 1g0.

UNDERWORLD PLAY PRODUGERS MUST ANSWER 10 COURT New York Police Say Red Lights Extinguished on Street Must Not Show on Stage. | NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—Large audi- ences tonight attended “The Lure,” on at Maxine Elliott’s theater and ‘The Fight” on the Hudson. The police department had declared them inde- cent plays. On Monday Lee Shubert, who is responsible for the former play, and the executors of the Henry. B. Harris estate who produced the latter, will appear in police court to answer summonses. . The summonses were the result of the investigation of Police Commis- sioner Waldo. ial Chief Magistrate McAdoo's decision will have an important bearing upon the theatrical season just begun, for the fate of several similar plays hangs on his ruling. The plays have been dubbed “white slave” dramas because of the prom- inence given certain characters and scenes. An act in one of the plays is in the parlor of a disreputable resort, lwhere a supposedly respectable wom- an. politician encounters a_e well- known United States Senator. Mr. Shubert visited the Chief Mag- istrate’s office armed with letters recommending his production as one that taught a moral lesson. Mr. Shubert invited Magistrate McAdoo to attend a performance of the play, but he declined. “From what Department Commis- sioners Newberger and _ Inspector Schmittberger have reported to me,” \Commissioner Waldo said, “‘these two plays are ‘rotten.’ Of course there is a difference of opinion as to how far police power extends in a matter of this kind. My opinion is that such plays as the two in question are of- fenses against public decency and morals. ‘It is up to the courts to say what shall be done with the men who put such plays on the stage. We have taken the red lights off our streets and I can see no reason for setting them up in our playhouses.” WILLARD BEGINS DEFENSE Pugilist Asserts Young Died of Prior Brain Injury. LOS ANGELES,.

When for Andrew Rousseau, a local hotel man, who has been sending Thaw his meals. ‘““You go Jerome’s bail, Mr. Rousseu,”’ said Thaw, “and I will be your surety. I’ll be responsible for it.” When Jerome failed to appear at his hearing this morning Thaw remarked to one of his immigration guards: “Well, I suppose I’m cut $500.” Refuses to Forfeit Baill. There was no forfeiting of bail, how- ever, as Justice of the Peace James Mc- Kee, not knowing that Thaw was behind Rousseau’s bond, declared: ‘To forfeit his bail would only hurt one of our citi- zens. I won't do it.’’ Hector Verrat and Jacob Nicol!, coun- sel for Jerome, were on hand when the court opened, and explained that Je- rome could not be present. Justice Mce- Kee granted a delay until Sept. 11. There were fifty or sixty persons in the court- room, and all obviously were disappoint- ed by the nonappearance of Jerome. McKee, a gray-bearded man with fire in his eye, took his seat at one side of a small table, on the other side of which sat Nicoll and Verrat. A. C. Hanson; joint Crown Prosecutor, announced that he was ready to go on. Wilford aldritch, the complainant against Jerome, Was present to testify. Jerome’s absence angered the Judgre. He banged the table with his fist and shouted: “I'll grant this adjournment, but I want to say that I don’t believe in these delays. This man Jerome may think we're a suburb, and that he can play his little games of poker in our streets, but we'll show him that he can’t. He’ll be ‘persecuted’ to the full extent of the law.’”’ The crowd cheered and stamped its feet, and Justice McKee basked in its approbation. Drum Corps Serenades Thaw. The village cut-ups, followed by. near- ly all the rest of the people of the town, and led by a fife and drum corps, sere- naded Thaw late this afternoon. ‘Three cheers for Harry Thaw! Hur- rah for British fair play’ they shouted. “Speech, speech!. Come on, Harry, make a speech.” Thaw was writing what he had de- scribed earlier in the day as an ‘‘edito- rjal’’ for a New York evening newspaper. He went to the window when he heard the drum crops playing “The British Grenadiers.”” Then he leaned out of the window and raised his hands for si- lence. “Gentlemen, I am proud of the spirit of the people of Coaticook,"’ Thaw began. “Jerome is whipped. British fair play has won the day.”’ Verret announced tonight he would endeavor to have the Jerome case brought into court Monday, instead ‘of Tuesday, so as to clear up the matter as soon as. possible and proceed with the Thaw case. An effort will be made to have Magistrate Mulvena of Sher- brooke preside, thus taking the case out of the hands of Justice McKee, who denounced Jerome today. Thaw must be taken to Montreal on the morning of Sept. 15, to answer the habeas corpus writ, but meantime no orders have been received from the Im- migration Bureau at Ottawa. — Superfluous Hair Miracfe The Hair Remover Yeu Must Eventually Use Because DeMiracle is the only depilatory that contains certain in- gredients which give it the power to rob hair 1 its vitality.

William R. Rodenberger was removed from office as City Comptroller of East St. Louis by Mayor Chamberlin yester- day, because of the disappearance of six record books, some of them essential to the pending graft investigation, from the vaults of the Comptroller’s office. Rodenberger, before publicly reporting] the disappearance of the books, Friday, called on Chamberlin and talke4 of re- signing. He did not carry out the inten- tion he then expressed, and yesterday he announced that he would not resign. The Mayor then handed to him a writ- ten request for his resignation. In this communication the Mayor said that “nothing short of the very extreme of caution” should have been used in sSuarding the Comptroller’s records, at a time when they were of such value. He said the failure to exercise such vig- ilance as to prevent the loss of the rec- ords was “too grave an omission to be overlooked.”’ Debates Question With Mayor. Not getting the resignation in this way, the Mayor went to the Comptroller’s office and told Rodenberger he had writ- ten out an order removing him from of- fice. For nearly two hours the Mayor and Rodenberger debated the Mayor’s power to remove an official in this summary fashion. Rodenberger at one time re- marked he would not relinquish his of- fice unless his successor were confirmed by the Council. The Mayor’s reply was that, if neces- sary, he would call in policemen to eject Rodenberger from the office. The suggestion of awaiting a Council con- firmation did not please the Mayor, per- haps because of the current report that 13 of the 16 Councilmen are Rodenberg- er’s friends, and would oppose the con- firmation of anyone else, so long as he wished to retain the office. Chief Clerk Takes Place. Rodenberger receded from this po- sition, but said he would not turn over the office except to some re- sponisble person. The Mayor sum- moned W. W. Kimball, Chief Clerk in the office, who had gone home at noon and named him acting Comp- troller. Rodenberger assented to this arrangement, and, turning the rec- ords over to Kimball, letf the office. Chahberlin summoned policemen, and they remained on duty last night, | guarding the vaults. This was done as a precaution against the loss of further records. The vouchers which the Comptroller's office has been or- dered to take before the grand jury tomorrow, to enable it to make a start in the graft inquiry, are among the records still in the vaults. Rodenberger, in a written state- ment issued before his removal, de- scribed the missing record books and said the records they contained could be replaced from other city records for the purposes of the grand jury’s investigation. Accountant’s Opinion. An accountant familiar with the East St. Louis system of municipal records said that, while it might be true that the matter appeared in other records, the missing books formed a check on these other records whick would be essential in a matter of court evidence. New books which might be written up from vouchers and memoranda would be worthless as evidence, he said. Without the origi- nal books, he said, it would be very difficult to make a ease in court on the evidence of the vouchers alone. The missing books, as enumerated by Rodenberger, are fund _ ledgers Nos. 3 and 4, covering the period from November, 1905, to June, 1911, inelu- sive; voucher records Nos. 3 and 4, covering the period from June, 1909, to Jhne, 1911, inclusive, and two bond registers covering the period from 1908 to the present time. “In the City Treasurer's office,” said Rodenberger, “there are fund ledgers which are identical with the fund ledgers taken from my office. The disbursement side of the cash book in the Treasurer’s office con- tains the same information with as much detail as the same two voucher records taken from my office. Original Papers at Hand. “The information contained in the bond registers taken from my office can be obtained from the bond ledger and the vouchers and canceled bonds and coupons. Thus, with the same in- formation contained in the missing books still available from other books and records in the city hall, I am unable to see of what benefit it would be to anyone to remove these books from my office, unless they Were taken from my custody to embarrass me. “Fortunately, the vouchers, warrants, etc., which I have been commanded by subpena to bring to the grand jury at Belleville Monday, and which are in the vault in my office, were not molested, and the grand jury will not be hampered inn making any investigations desired.” Was Lambert Appointee. Rodenberger Was an appointee of the Lambert administration, and had not been reappointed by Chamberlin. Hence it was generally considered at the city hall that the Mayor had the rightcto re- move him at any time.

NOONAN BRINGS DIVORCE SUIT Charges Husband Has Ungov- ernable Temper, Cursed Her and Accused Her of Im- proprieties. Sarpy J. Noonan ef 3887 Washing- ton boulevard, an attorney, was made defendant in a divorce suit brought yesterday by Mrs. Frances Cook Noonan. She charges him with hav- ing an ungovernable temper. Mrs. Noonan relates that a month after their marriage, Nov. 24, .1910, her husband cursed her and called her offensive names, and says that a month after their baby was born Noonan took her and the child to her father’s home and left them on the doorstep. On two ocasions Noonan aimed a revolver at her, Mrs. Noon- an alleges, and frequently accused her of improprieties, Noonan is the son of the late Thomas Noonan, real estate dealer, and has law offices in the Central National Bank Building. He formerly was a Washing- ton University football star. Mrs. Noonan is a daughter of Charles F. Cook, a retired business man. Her mar- riage to Noonan took place a few days after Mrs. Nellie Philpot created a scene at the Cook home by shouting that Noonan had jilted her. Later Mrs. Philpot married Ray Stevenson, a chauf- feur, and while on their honeymoon had him arrested on a charge of embezzling $8000. § TWO MEN HELD UP BY NEGRO ON VIADUCT Robber Later Tries to Rob Grocer, but Neighbors Scare Him Away. A negro wearing a blue bandana handkerchief over the lower part of bis face robbed two men on the Jeffer- son avenue viaduct last night and at- tempted to rob a grocer a few blocke away. Arthur Laubach of 541 South Jeffer- son avenue and Charles Zacharias of 4127 Farlin avenue were crossing the viaduct shortly Mfore 9 p. m. when the negro demanded their money. When they refused he slapped Laubach's fae and drew a revolver. The men ther elevated their hands and the negro touk $7.40 from Laubach and a nickel frorn Zacharias. A few minutes later the negro. en- tered the grocery of William McGinn at 328 Montrose avenue and, aiming + revolver at him, ordered his hands up.

REUTER TRIAL SEPT. 22 Society Leader Expects Acquit- tal in Murder Case. BARTLESVILLE, Ok., Sept. 6.—A venire of 100 jurors was ordered drawn by District Judge R. H. *Hud- son here today from which a jury will be selected for the trial of Mrs. Lura M. Reuter, a former society leader and church worker, charged with complicity in causing the death of her husband, Charles T. Reuter. an attorney of Tulsa. The trial, which is set for Sept. 22, was brought here on a change of venue. \ “I will be acquitted,” Mrs. Reuter said today. “As soon as this affair has been disposed of, I am going back to work as a stenographer, the work I was following when I married Mr |! Reuter.” FEDERAL INQUIRY ON Treasury Department Investi- gates Payment of Duty in Which Accused, Consul for Spain, Is Involved. —, James Arbrckle of 5948 Maple avenue, Consul in St. Louls for Spain, Colom- bia and Venezuela, and recipient of dec- ‘|orations from the King of Spain, faces trial under a warrant charging he em- bezzled $3820 from Alejo Arechederra of Tehuacan, Mexico, a dealer in hats and other goods. Arbuckle was arrested Fri- day afternoon in the office of the Ar- buckle Export Co., 314 North Fourth street, of which he is president, and was released on bond of $1500. , He is the father of Macklyn Arbuckle, one of the best-known actors on the American stage, and of Andrew Ar- buckle, now in fan Francisco. The elder Arbuckle, noted because of his keen interest in the affairs of the Latin- American republics, was organizer of the Spanish-American Club, the purpose of which !s to promote trade relations with Central and South American na- tions. The warrant was based on an indict- ment got against Arbuckle last July by the grand jury, before which Areche- derra, who was in St. Louis on business, testified. The warrant was not served until Friday because Arbuckle was out of the’city on a vacation. ' The sum charged in the warrant is de- clared to represent collections which Ar- buckle made for Arechederra tn transac- tions for the sale of Mexican palm leaf hats. Otto Karb4, who was retained iff the negotiations to recover the money from Arbuckle, said yesterday that when he first demanded payment from the Spanish Consul, he replied he was short o? ready cash because of heavy invest- ments in real estate, but that if time were given he could pay. Later, Karbe said, Arbuckle refused to treat with him. Karbe was instructed to lay the matter before the grand jury, before which he was a witness. Karbe testified that, in an effort to learn the. amount. which Arbuckle was alleged to have owed the Mexican, he (Karbe) wrote to m@ny of the Mexican’s customers in the United States and Can- ada, asking them.to forward recetpts for amounts said: to have been paid Ar- buckle. : Pia Some of them replied that th receipts had been taken up by the FeGeral au- thorities,- who were investigating the duties on hats imported. by Arbuckle. This investigation was conducted in the office of the Assistant Treasurer in St. Louis. A report in.the case was sent to Washington two months ago. Arbuckle told a Post-Dispatch reporter the warrant was based on a technical- ity growing out of business dealings, and that there was no basis for the charge of embezzlement. “TI have Arechederra’s money,” he sald, ‘but because of his violation of severa! contracts, he has caused us a loss of s0 much money that he now owes us more than the amount he charges I have failed to pay him. “This amount TI have refused to pay. I shall fight the charge on‘the ground ment of the money. I will not pay Arechederra until he makes good the losses my firm has suffered through him which are larger than his claim.” Arbuckle also its president ofthe Ar- buckle Railway Supply Co. For writing a historical essay on “The Napoleonic Era and Its Lessons’! he was decorate! in 1908 by the King of Spain, and two years tater the same monarch dubbed him Knight of the Royal Order of Isa- bella the Catholic.

Louls avenue, and Eleanor Brunk, 36506 St. Louls avenue, gave a very pretty| entertainment on the lawn of the Uline residence for the benefit of the Post- “Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund and earned $1.10 with which to help save the tenement babies. These kindly children presented an at- tractive program, which included an Italian song by Clinton Uline, a melodi- ous little ballad sung by Lee Christo- pher, a violin solo by Blossom Christo- per and other pleasing numbers. Having thus qualified for membership in the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk League, they now announce their intention of continuing in service to the good cause next summer and doing all they possi- bly can in behalf of the tenement tots. Mrs. M. Goldman, wife of Mr. Morris Goldman of Goldman Bros., 1102 Olive street, sends $5 to the Pure Milk Fund. This is her fourth contribution to the Fund this summer. Grace James, now in Waterloo, fil., who recently took part in a Pure Milk Fund benefit, writes to the Post-Dis- patch inclosing $8 for the Pure Milk Fund, this amount having been sent to her by Mr. M. W. Walbert of Batesville, Ark., to help save the tenement babies. She now is attending school in Waterloo, residing with her grandparents. Charlotte Seifer of 2907 Thomas street and Mollie Kaplan of 2908 Thomas, who recently co-operated in helping the Pure Milk Fund, now again distinguish them- selves by disposing of a beautiful cro- chet handbag whi@h was donated to them, earning $2 for the tenement tots. And they are not yet.content with their achievement. ‘“‘We hope that we will do better next year,’’ they write. A number of clever young folks gave an excellent performance of the little playlet entitled “School Days,” also pre- senting an attractive program of songs, dances, violin and piano solos and recita- ‘ tions, at Mrs. Schaefer's residence, 1425 Hill’s terrace, earning $39 for the Pure Milk Fund. . Those taking part were Lillian Schaef- er, Mildred LeBoeuf, Adelaide Crowley, Helen Laffey, Ethel Merrille, Helen Pu- laski, Anna Lindsay, Dilla Schaefer, Anna Kunsky, Eva Retzer, Evelyn Co- hen and Messrs. Cooper and Dobbins. Miss A. Price was accompanist, and Miss Lauretta LeBoeuf announced the program numbers. The performance was directed by Ella Schaefer, Mildred Le- Boeuf and Lillian Schaefer. Lillian Schaefer and Mildred LeBoeuf sold the greatest number of tickets. Frances Schatzman of 2804 Dickson street, and Anna Strauss of 2818 Dickson, disposed of two lovely pillow tops; hand- made by Anna, also of one picture, and earned $6 for the Pure Milk Fund to save the babies. These two girls are earnest and loyal workers for the fund. They began their service last season, taking part in a notable benefit for the tenement tots, and they declare that next summer wil] find them again enlisted in the good cause. $36,000 ASKED FROM U.

Three suits aggregating $36,000 against the United Railways damages Co. were filed in the Circuit Court Saturday by who claimed to have suffered ries while pas- sengers on the company’s cars. Two of the suits resulted from the accident on the Creve Coeur line, June 16, when a car, under high speed; crashed head-on into a car ‘standing upon the same track. Mrs. Myrtie Davis, a passenger, who al- leges she suffered a fracture of the skull, ribs and ankle and a sprain of the right hip and thigh, asks $20,000 damages. She alleges her earning capacity has been impaired, and that she has been permanently injured. Her husband, who was at her side at the “time of the accident, claims $10,000 damages for injuries to his muscles, nerves and Hgaments, and also asks $5000 for the injuries suf- fered his wife, which, he says, cost m a large sum in hospital, doctor and nurses’ fees.

Catarrh has ragea fiercely through the years like a fire- brand, and in the eagerness to quench it many useless things were given out as cures, but it remains now, after the slow process of exp*rimentation and discovery, to offer the pos- itive real cure, which has been born of cease- lees searching and common sense.

Catarrh anywhere tn the head or throat or ear is right next to the brain. The catarrh germ grows fast, does an enormous amount of damage in its burrowings into borte and flesh and is difficult to destroy. There are thou- sands of little nerves that run from all parts of the face and head to the brain. Some of these little nerves have to pass through prob- ably a mass of catarrhal inflammations on the road to the brain. When they do they are weakened, and sometimes destroyed. What affects the nerves ‘s bound to affect the brain, and when the nerves ars deadened by constant catarrhal discharges there is bound to be a certain torpor or stupidity brought about in the brain of the victim. Thus follows sleep- lessness, inability to think clearly or to con- nect ideas, loss of memory, lack of concentra- tion, lack of presence of mind and a wander- ing of thought. If any man or woman imagines that these things do not. affect their earning capacity, their cheerfulness and the esteem which their friends have for their brightness, they have little realization of the neceesity of keeping the mind always clear. That is all there is to life. When it takes such a comparatively short time to cure this terrible disease by the Gauss common-senee treatment, and regain the flesh and brilllancy of the normal brain, there is no good reason why one should not spend the two or three minutes it takes to cut out the coupon below and send it to C. E. Gauss and have him prove to you that he is right, and that he positively cures catarrh.

Gauss; 4760 Main st., Marshall, Mich, Seeks Divorce; Can’t Stand - Catarrh ———_--_-_— Wife Says It Is Either Separate or Die of Disgust. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 19—Henry O Rasmus- sen. it is reported, is to be sued for divorce because his wife can no longer endure a ca- tarrhal affliction of which Rasmussen is said to have been a victim for the iast two vears. Mrs. Rasmussen states that no woman with any shadow of self-respect would consent to be loved who was afflicted in the manner she states. She says she regrets the publicity at- tached to a suit for divorce, but that it is either that or ‘‘simply Ne down and die of disgust.”’ Plain language is the only thing to use in trying to deal with such an affliction as ca- tarrh. The facts are plain. There is a man, an able-bodied, robust, vigorous business man, Wife Can’t Stand His Catarrh Any Longer. and a faithful wife, suddenly stripped of ali that makes life worth living, with the love of a true woman mired in his own disease. Picture to yourself what happens when a ca- tarrh victim comes home from work—the face of his gentle mate turning away from 4 foul-breathed kiss, the rack and grug and hurr, and the spitting and hawking in handkerchief and cyuspidor every few minutes. Makes Home Miserable. What happens at a table when the catarrh- Sag comes on (and a man can’t eat and pull his nose at the same time) we will not men- tion. What happens after snch a meal in the sitting room, or dressing room or hallroom, on the stairs. anywhere and everywhere, with a hawk, hawk, hawk, can be imagined. What happens when the victim almost leans on top of the cuspidor in the presence of members of the family and hawks and jerks with twisted face, is a subject merely to be mentioned. What happens during the snoring. sleepless hours of the night, with a foul-smelling odor wafting about in the closed room, we can easily pic- .ture. And add to it all the misery of the miserable man himself. Is it any wonder that divorce is seized upon as a cure? The Gauss treatment would at once remedy all these horrible phases. If left to C. E. Gauss, Mrs. Rasmussen would have no reason for getting a divorce.’ There are cases which, though they have their humorous angles, after. all make or unmake the unhappiness of us all.

I get boiling mad when people tell me I’ve got catarrh. I’ve had dozens of mere acquaint- ances, and especially one young lady, who have come up and ventured to tell me something ‘for my own benefit.’’ That expression begins to pa}l on me—‘‘for my own benefit.’’ It seems they all want to tell me the same thing—‘‘you ought to take something for catarrh; I'll tell you how my cousin got cured, and every doc- tor used to say he had the worst case he ever heard about.’’ Now, when a friend puts his hand on my shoulder, I gulp in preparation for catarrh ad- vice. This gulp is not mere throat action, but the swallowing of mucus Nothing would suit me betteg than to have the earth open and swallow me up. I walk along the street close to the curb- stone. When I ride on a car, I stand on the rear platform rather than sit down inside. I wish I could talk without having to. open my mouth to breathe. I wish that kisses were obsolete. I wish that handkerchiefs could be turned into sheets. I wish that no chair but mine would be placed at the table.

I wish that I was- my mother’s little fairy once more, with my little towsled head that knew not disease lying on her warm shoulder. Now I feel that I am an outcast. I know what they think of me, every one. I know my old friends shun me, for even Jack, my old college chum, doesn’t come around and chat and emoke any more as he used to do. My acquaintances only say hello and pass by. Mrs. Grundy next door and all the other neighbors are talking about how repulsive I am. I see it in the way they look and act. People I sit next to get up and move some- where else. People who talk to me turn their heads at an angle. And I’m in pain. It is not alone physical pain. It’s my mind, too, that is in agony. I can’t remember things as I used to. Tnoughts slip away from me. I say things I don’t mean, and mean things I never say. ' I walk alone, my work pallis on me, my nerves refuse me. That let-her-go feeling has got me., I relish nothing I cat, and my appetite has gone. And as I think of my misery I mast hawk again. My cough is a rattle. The ruby has been plucked from my cheek, the flush of my young health has gone. My head is in but my hands are cold, and I seem to feel in them the approaching chill of the tomb—I have read of catarrh death, and my mother’s brother died of the same disease.

Every case of catarrh, of course, is not fa- tal. Nor does every case result in consump tion or bronchitis, but nevertheless they are very frequent. No man or woman knows what his or her case of catarrh will lead to. Men of robust health have succumbed to resulting consumption and partial idiocy. Women of strong vitality have become nervous wrecks and victims of bronchitis. Your good health is not always a preventive against the catarrh germs. The more you feel sure there is no danger of the catarrh resulting in a disease more se- rious, the more danger there is, simply because you will neglect yourself. This happens in hundreds of cases, and we see it recorded al- most daily in the letters we receive. “If I had only started the cure eariier,’’ is a very frequent expression, showing that our warning is not fanciful, but based on fearful reality, Even slight cases of catarrh may result in nose cancer, than which there is hardly a more painful affliction in this world. Catarrh Fatality Frequent. Some of the frequent reIts of catarrh are bronchitis, pneumonia, death and decay of bones, loss of thinking and reasoning power, death of ambition and energy. loss of appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia, ulceration, bad breath, raw throat, raw sores in the nose, general de- bility. and sometimes idiocy and insanity. This is why in the death list you do not find a mention of fatal catarrh; the death is caused, not directly by the qatarrh itself, but by a disease which was caused by ca&tarrh. Medical books and cyclopedias will tell you even more serious news than we tell you here; probably after reading them you will have. a full realization of what it is to have catarrh —a@ common disease. it is true, but with a Cure Is Certain You can cure that catarrh, slight or serious, once and forever by means of the only com- mon sense sure cure for catarrh, Gauss Com- bined Treatment.

There is no part of the land which Is free from catarrh. Altitudes and latitudes have little effect in destroying this omnipresent germ. Many imagine that the climate of the West, with altitudes and dry atmosphere, tends to prevent catarrh. There are just as many cases in proportion to the population west as east of the Mississippi, only the disease is not as severe because of the climatic effect on the nerves.

The original Reber approach to the free bridge on the East Side, as it now stands, without the so-called Asso- ciated Retailers’ extension, and the northeast or Gerhart approach, were eliminated from further consideration by the Municipal Free Bridge Com- mission, on board the city harbor boat, Erastus Wells, yesterday after- noon. The original Rebér approach Was beaten by a vote of 7 to 6, while the Gerhart approach was, dropped by common consent of the members, for the reason that it was considered too expensive and subject to conditions that wowld involve the city in end- less litigation. When the commission meets again in: Mayor Kiel’s office, next Wednes- day afternoon, it will have before it for consideration only the Reber ap- proach with an extension to carry it nearer the Illinois bluffs and the Al- ton and Mississippi proposition.

When it appearei that the company wished Ao condemn the land: to give to the City of St. Louls, he said it would bé out of court, for the reason that the company would have to prove that the land was necessary for its Own purposes before it could exer- cise the right of condemnation.

He objected to the Reber approach because it does not ex- tend beyond the present city limits ef Kast St. Louis. ; Player Favors Business Pian. Comptroller Player said the city had already spent $193,000 in acquiring land for the Reber approach. He said the Alton & Mississippi had submitted no definite proposition, and that the city had before it only one practical ap- proach—the Reber approach, with arm ex- tension. After a thorough investiga- tion of the approach question, he said that it would be accepted as a good busi- ness proposition by any body of bank- ers or business men, who were in the habit of considering questions of that kind from a business standpeint. President Kinsey called attention to the fact that the party platforms last’ spring condemned the Reber approach, and inquired what would happen to it if it was again submitted to a vote of the people. He recited various objections, among which were that the original Reber approach would have to cross at Krade several] railroads and electric lines, and that the Illinois Railroad and Ware- hoyse Commission would not grant per- mission to construct these crossings. He also said that a single track from the end of the approach would not be able to handle all of the traffic that would be handled over the bridge. be —_—_—_@——_—— WAR CRY SALES GIRL.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—The stock of ‘the Pullman company on the Ex- change on moderate’ transactions dropped to 149, the lowest since 1908. The decline was generally attributed to selling by stockholders who fear the Wallingford wreck will lead to a general demand for steel cars, and that Congress will be compelled to pass a law ordering the Pullman com- pany to provide them. This would in- volve a great expenditure and prob- ably cause. a suspension of dividends for a time. The Railway Age Gazette in Its issue yesterday said that the delamor raised for the abolition of wooden cars on the railroads is ill-advised. “In no line of improvement has there been mare rapid progress dur- ing the past five years than in the substitution of steel cars for wooden passenger cars,” it argued. “This has been done at a great expense, and in spite of the fact that the stéel car is not ideal. inquest Continues.

Reber Ex’‘ension Favored. The opinion prevailed that, unless this was done, the Reber approach, with an extension, would be recom- mended to the city by the commis- sion. Several members of the commission who voted against the original Reber approach privately expressed the opin- ion that they would vote for the extend- ed approach unless the Alton & Missis- sippi promoters shall come forward with a satisfactory and concrete proposition. Those voting for the orignal Reber ap- proach were Comptroller Player, City Counselor Baird and Councilmen Aren- des, Koenig, Paule and Rower. Those voting against it were Mayor Kiel, Pres- ident Kinsey of the Board of Public Im- provements, Councilman Fletcher and Delegates McCarthy, Ebrecht, Scully and Hoffner. Delegate Gallagher was ab- sent. : There was a full discussion of the ap- which, at the. request of Mayor Kiel, was opened by Council- man Rower. Rower stated that, in his opinion, both the Gerhart original ap- proach and a compromise approach he had proposed by an elevated’ extension of the Reber-Associated Retailers ap- proach were too costly for consideration by the commission. He championed the Reber extended approach as the most feasible.and certain of being constructed without legal entanglements. Delegate McCarthy agreed that the Gerhart ap- proaches were out of consideration, and said that from the standpoint of prac- ticability either the extended Reber ap- proach or the Alton & Mississippi ap- proach would be satisfactory. Loses Faith in the A. & M. Ceuncilman Fletcher, a champion of the northeast approach, said that the Reber approach could not be passed. He said the people had been educated to believe that it was not a good approach, and had three times refused to vote bonds to complete it. He said he did not believe it wise for the city to enter into an agreement with a private cer- poration to build an approach, and espe- Clally without the fullest information from the promoters as to what they pro- posed to do, and who were interested in their project. Delegate Ebrecht, who had been a strong champion of the Alton & Mis- sissippi approach, said he had lost faith in the promoters and did not believe they would make good. Councilman Paule took the same view and agreed with the other speakers that the Ger- hart approach was out of the question. Counselor Baird’s Opinion. City Counselor Baird, in discussing the approach question at length, went into the business and legal fea- tures. He said the Gerhart approach could not be built, an@ declared that it would be folly for the city to en- ter into any agreement with a pri- vate corporation to build an ap- proach, or a belt line connecting and controlling the approach. He said that, even if the Alton & Mississippi carried out its proposal to build a belt line connecting with the ap- proach, it would then be in a posi- tion to control the approach, as all tramgic would have to come over this privately-owned road to get to the approach; if the company failed to build the belt line, the city would then stand in the position of having an approach to the bluffs, without any comnecting link with the rail- reads that might wish te use the bridge. He expressed the opinion that a bond given by the company to carry out its promises to the city would be worthless. If the company failed, he sali, the bond could not he col- lected, because the city could not prove its damages. He warned the commission that the ¢ity would be taking great chances to enter into an agreement with the promoters of this approach. Objections to the A. & M. He said that Leo J. Scherrer, one of the promoters, had stated that the company had no other asset than a tract of land on the line of the pro- pesed approach. The whole Alton & Mississippi proposition, he said, ap- peared to be a land speculating Lemme and the city ought mot to Councilman Arendes, -after the 4is- cussion, offered a motion to adopt the original Reber approach. When this was voted down, the members agreed to wait & few days for the Alton & Mississippi to come forward with a more specific proposition and definite information as to who are their backers. Several mem- bers privately expressed the opinion that they had no financia!] backers, but were trying to get a contract from the city, which they would then sell to some other corporation, or use as the basis for capitalizing their company. — London Electricians End Strike, Le LONDON, Sept. 6.—The Strike of the electriclans under control of the office of public works, which followed a strike of house painters and decorators, was ne settled today.

SCOTT IS KNOCKED OUT Callahan Uses Up Three Pitchers in Vain Attempt to Stop . Local Crew. By W. J. O’Connor. Roy Mitchell, that “man from Texas” who developed his right arm by throwing a lariat. roped the white-hosed hirelings of James Cal- Jahan yesterday afternoon at Sports- man’s Park and branded them with a red-hot shutout, 4-0 It was the smartest entertainment offered the local fans in many days. Mitchell edged his way into the spotlight in the first scene of the nine-act drama and basked there un- tii the curtain was called down by Chase's liner to Shotton in the ninth. Only five hits, each a single, were made off Mitch. And they were dis- tr’yuted so as to do the least dam- r » One pass was charged agafnst ~i@ local star, while he fanned two. A wild pitch in the second stanza was the only blot on an otherwise immaculately clean pitching record. A Benefit for Stovall. The reformed Browns, playing their farewell game under G. Sto- vall’s comamnd, disposed of Death Valley Jim Scott, one of the game’s premier right-handers, and were still fighting after Manager Callahan had ealled out the reserves. Lathrop, the janky Notre Dame boy, relieved Scott, while Kid Smith, formerly of the Southern League, took Lathrop’s place. They all looked alike to the Browns. It was one of those nearly perfect exhibitions, played in 1 hour and 30 Minutes, without the home team do- Ing anything whatsoever to disturb the serenity of the “error” column. Mitchell’s wild pitch, which permit- ted Bodie to. trek from first to third in the second chukker, was ‘the closest thing to a serious miscue, However, even this transgression didn’t leave an opening sufficient for the opulent Italian to ooze home. Bodie was out at the plate after Chappell had drawn a throw to sec- ond on Breton’s foul fly to Agnew. Pratt’s pretty return to Stovall ef- faced Ping, the Ponderous. Meinart Maims Scott. Stovall’s serfs got to Scott for a marker in the second. Clarence Walk- er salted a single in center. Meinart, bowing before the throng for the first time, duplicated the trick. Sto- vall rolled to Weaver, who tried for Walker but heaved wild and Clarence scored. Meinert made third and Sto- vall second. However, Balenti’s best was a boost to Chappell while Agnew and Mithchell sawed ozone. Shotton opened the third with a shot to right i./|\ bumped the fence and netted two hassocks. Austin dis- appointed with a gtrike-out, but Pratt brought the bugs to their pins with a savage single to center, letting Shotton in. Pratt tried for second, but Scott intercepted Bodie's throw and handed it to Weaver who ef- faced Derrill at the middle bag. Two gone, the Browns bumped Scott for another tally in the fifth. Shotton walkead and made third on Austin’s safe bunt, Bert having a running start when Jimmy dumped the ball down. The double steal then went through, otton scoring when Recruit Meyer pegged to center field. Another Hit for Austin. Callahan exercised ‘the recall on Scott in the sixth and sent in| Lathrop.

Moreover, he found Andergon no mean opponent, as shown by the fact that the match at the end of the early round was all square. P Anderson is a Professor. Anderson is a professor of English in the Fessenden School at West Newton, Mass., and teacher of Philip Carter, the junior metropolitan cham- pion, in both English and golf. An- derson was the man »who won the Massachusetts champienship in 1907 and again in 1911. Three years ago he went to France to compete in the I'rench championship in the eourse of a tour of Europe, and met Charles Evans Jr. in the final round, Evans winning after two extra holes. It has been along time since Massachusetts has had such a player in the factors in American golf. Francis Quimet, 9n wnom so0- much reliance was placed, fell at the hands of Travers earlier in the tournament and it was left for Anderson to up- hold the golf of the Bay State. His defeat of Evans has been fully chroni- cled, and it was a different proposi- tion for him to face when he got up against the redoubtable Jerry. It didn’t scare the fighting professor the least for he has been an athlete and golfer for years. Travers Takes Lead. Travers became 2 up at the fourth, Then followed two halved holes, An- derson getting a chance to overcome some of his opponent’s lead at the long seventh when Travers got into trouble.

Travers drew up at the next and squared the: match on the sixteenth. A _ superb four at the: long seventeenth won that for Travers, but he los his lead at the eighteenth hole over the pond when he used his mashie from the tee, the mashie of which he has lately been ‘areful, and pulled to a trap. requiring fopr of the hole, a short one. Thus the morning round was level. Anderson, with wholesome fear of being short of the first green in the afternoon, played his second too strongly and it went over the green. so that he lost the first hole. The second. too, went into Travers’ bag when Anderson falled on a4 putt. Remarkable recoveries from trouble won the long fourth for Travers. “He sliced his drive into a pit, then: proceeded to get his ball into the fair way of the fifth, trom which he got to the green. He was ‘too long for Anderson on his iron here and with # stroke advantage to the green won the hole. Travers in Lead, 3. Up. The winning of the fourth placed Travers three up, and from this point tothe turn they simply were content to halve all the holes. Neither man could do anything’ the other was not able to equal. Their driving was practically of equal length and wonder- ful approaches at times on Anderson's part were promptly equalled by the champion. Thus the struggle reached the. turn ‘ with Travers sttil three up, the champion being out in 39, much better than the morning, ‘and Anderson in 42.

J. O’Connor. afternoon. Jimmy Austin was temporarily placed in charge. Ci STOVALL was deposed a® manager of the Browns yesterday Owner Hedges handed Stovall a letter as the former manager left the playing field, notifying him that ‘‘for the best interests of the club we have decided to make a change-in managers.’’ Austin was served with a notice of his temporary promotion to Hedges later announced‘ that he wanted Branch Rickey as his. perma- nent manager, but that Rickey would not take hold just now because of his inability to obtain stock in the Browns. Hedges Wants Rickey. “RickeY wants an interest in the club and I can’t give it to him at present, although I would like to have him as manager. I can’t say that he will be the permanent manager, either, as we have not reached an agreement. I have had him in mind as the next manager, for some time.” The removai of Stovall verifies in fact the statement made in the Post- Dispatch a week ago. .At that time it also was stated that Rickey would succeed Stovall. Howewer this end of the deal has been temporarily blocked because of Hedges’ inability to buy up certain shares of stock ‘held by. Cincinnati people. Bruce’s Stock Sought. It is understood that Hedges went to Cincinnati Thursday and tried to acquire the stock held by John &E. Bruce, secretary of thesNational Com- mission. Bruce wouldn't sell. That prevented Rickey trom becoming manager today. ‘ Hedges would give no reason for firing Stovall, other than’ that he made the change “for the good of the cause.” “I have no hard feelings to- wards Stovall,” said Hedges, do not consider him the best man for the job, We'want young players.to develop and I believe someone else can better handle: the task. Stovall the best of luck and I will do anything I can to help him along. Of course, he’s still the property of my club.” Hedges declined to say what dis- position would be made of the form- er manager. “Stovall can remain as a player.if he cares to, but I hardly think he will,” said Hedges. “He's “but Tu I wish }: the managerial role. ea TOVALL received his noti- > fication of dismissal in a. perspnal letter from #resident |Hedges. The letter, handed to! Stovall immediately after the game, is as follows: George, | Stovall, Dear Sir: We have decided that for the ~ best interest of our clab, that we should) make a change of managers for the balance of the year and this letter is te notify you that after Saturday, Sept. 6, your services as manager will be discontinued for the bal- anmce of the season. We reserve all right to your services as a player, given by contract sm tered into between yourself and this company, Oct. 3, 1913. We will have Mr Austin handle the club for the time being. : ; You have three more pay days under th above mentioned contract, namely: Sept. 15, Oct. 1, and Oct.|10. We trust there will be no reason giveh on your part to prevent us from tender~ ing you your salary check on dates aforementioned. Should you wish not to rematinz tn the city of St. Louis, we will be giad to mail your pay check fo whatever address you may gtve ' OS. R. L. HEDGES, President, (Signed) a very good balliplayer and ff another club wants his’ services we will be regdy to make a deal. Right now I cannot say what will be done ia this matter.” Until Game Time Saturday, Hedges Thought Rickey Would Be ‘OT until 2:3 o'clock yesterday N afternoon did Hedges positively learn that Rickey would not take charge of his’ club today. Jus: before yesterday's game started, Hiedyes and Rickey had a conference. ‘That was Rickey’s last stand. Before he would affix his signature to a manager's contract, Rickey manded a substantial interest in tne club. Hedges refused, but was game enough to. dismiss Stovall and appoint Austin, per previous plans. Hedges wag keenly. Gisappointed and perceptibly perturbed over the sudden turn in af- fairs. . Rickey’s Statement. Rickey last. night made this state- de. ‘ment, verbatim, to.the Post-Dispatch: “In answer to your question why I will not take charge of the Browns Sunday, I will say that I dom’t care to assume the responsibilities of a major Ler - team until all the de- taille of m, atract are definitely and satisfact. ty settied. I am ask~- ing the right to purchase a substan- tial amount of stock, we'll say, be- tween 55 and 125 shares, and Mr. Hedges won't permit me. There {# no serious estrangement between us, but I won’t accept the manager’s job un- til my termis are satinfied.” Manager Rickey further stated that he was Perfectly satisfied to remain tn the em- ploy of the Browns in his present ca- pacity and would do all tn his pow to build up the team. . He says he never sought the man- agemnent and is not keen for the job now. But if he is to take hold where Stovall left off he wants a contract which will be in keeping with the task involved. He says he will not maks the coming Eastern trip with the’ Browns, leaving Jimmy Austin in ab- solute command. Many fans were puzzled over the fact that Hedges deposed one Manager and appointed another temporarily. Why the Browns’ owner didn’t wait until he had reached an agreefnent with Rickey is’ more than most of the basebail wisenheimers are able to explain, / However, the fact ~ that Hedges thought late as 2? o'clock yesterdcy af+- ernoon that Rickey would be his man- ager today, ingtead of Austin, verifies in every detail the predictions made in these columns a week ago. The Post- Dispatch last Sunilay tola that Stovall would be removed and Rickey appoint- ed on Sept. 8 when the Browns went Bast for the last time. That these pre- dictions were not borne out in every detail was a bigger éurprise last night to Hedges than to any other person. . Stovall Will Ask Browns Today to Work Hard EORGE STOVALL called at the G Post-Dispatch office last night and stated his side of the case. “It's Mr. Hedges’ privilege to fire me at any time he sees fit,” said the deposed manager. “However, ‘I’m proud to say that I did my best. I tried hard and got everything out of the boys that was in them. They worked hard for me and I'm sorry to part with them. “I Uke Austin and so do all the players. I hope he'll succeed.

This would be THE interesting engage- ment of the whole serfes—one in which the merit of managers could be seen; for both teams would have to battle under a similar handicap. om . om Plank Different Timber. LANK has not been going at all well of late. Perliaps he’s not straining himself, and is resting; but the regularity with which he is get- ting hit for large totals indicates that. he is no longer the Plank of old. Marquard, while he has not had the wonderful season he started out to es- ‘Yablish last year, has done well. He won two games from Boston, last year, when he was not expected to “cop’’ at all, Se: If it comes down to cases, it looks safer to take a chance with Plank and the Athletics, depending on the Mack- men’s extra hitting powers to make up any weakening Plank may show. » * . That Five-Inning Staff. HE chances are that if Plank fails to strengthen toward the ciose of the regular season, he will be used only four or five innings. | Following the policy that has won Mack to the front thus far, Plank might be asked to pitch his head off for four innings, while his team endeav- ored to obtain a big lead. Then one of the young relief men could come to the rescue for the remainder of the game and‘“throw his arm out for four or five more rounds. * . ° . . Would Kill ““Waiting Game.” HERE’S no reason why the two- pitchers-per-game system shouldn’t be superior to the single-handed policy. There's this about it—it would kill the *waiting game,” which managers use to make a pitcher work his head off, in the early innings, so they can rap him whes he tires, later on, 2 Giants’ Pitching Best. T this distance from the big series, whatever pitching system Mack uses, it would appear that the Giants will receives the best flinging—that is, the most reliable pitching UNDER FIRB. As an offset there will be the superior artillery of the Athletics’ attack, which should in a measure eqtialize the pitch- ing weakness. That sums up the situation as between the two clubs; the only thing that seema to at all favor one club over the other is the UNDOUBTED SUPERIOR CLASS OF THE ATHLETICS. Class vs. Temperament. LASS means CONSISTENCY ant ability to do things BETTER UNDER PRESSURE than when nothing is at stake. Very few animais, human or otherwise, may be truly said: to possess class. The majority belong to that variety of per- formers who can do brilliantly when the world is not looking on or when NO IMPORTANCE OR RESPONSIBILITY ATTACHES TO FAILURE. The New York club showed that sort of streak in the world’s series of 1912. Its members cracked pitiably under fire and the sterling performances of its pitchers were ingloriously wasted. Bos- ton HARDLY DESERVED A SINGLE VICTORY, had @ supporting team class been behind the New York fling- ers. Aha! Temperament Needs Alibis.

VIDENTLY the time of the falling of the official ax on the vertebrae of one George Stallings is not remote. When a club president in the same city with his manager communicates with him by letter instead of verbally it’s a cinch he is thinking about something unpleasant that had best be said at logge range. How to Average ‘Pitchers. ALTER JOHNSON picks a flaw in Ban Johnson's scheme te abolish the “games won and games lost” feature of the present pitching averages. Johnson wants to reduce the pitcher’s efficiency record to something that will show the hits made off him, his strikeout performance and other features, and not merely the number of win- ning games in which he pitched successfully. Walter Johnson writes: Frequently a pitcher’s team rolls up a big lead in two or three innings. He then eases up, for he knows it is impos- sible for the enemy to catch up. This easing up, however, will make his rec- ord look less brilliant. Is the pitcher to go on working his head off for nine in- nings, when the game is already won, just for the sake of keeping up a freak record ? W. Johnaon is right in one way; but the fact that all pitchers would ‘‘ease up,’’ under the circumstances, might tend to equalize the situation. -—— -@-—— al Gunboat Smith to Meet Frank Moran in “‘White Hope” Elimination Bout Arrangements for a 10-tround contest be- tween Gunboat Smith and Frank Moran, who are now accused of being the two leading ‘“‘white hopea’’ of the country, wi!) be voncluded Monday, at New York, where Gefcat cf Paizer practically pute him of the running.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 6-—The Hoosier Feds took botl. esaés of the double-header attraction here today thom Jack O’Connor’s St. Leuts team, although the second struggie was in doubt until the last inning, The scores were 10—4 and §—4. The game was marked throughout by heavy hitting by beth sides and errors were numerous. But this, however, was largely due te the poor condition of the outfield. Morrow worked in the fret game for the visitors but he was semewhat unsteady, a wild pitch figuring mm the run getting as did a home run by Dolan of the home team. ) In the second game King held the home team pretty well in hand until the eighth when.two singles and a home run by Tilemeyer gave the home club two runs which lead O'Connor's men were not able to overcome in the ninth. j A double-header close the regular season here. tomorrow will Federal League * Stic tusc—soMyw *Oee0: a eee ei Ole eS mt ts pt ot ie SOE aon > 2 ccnune. o| Kaisa’ ng p *Batted for Innings-— St. Louts cad Indianapolis . ones rrors—Gaston ae ae ) : ° Z — serii me run-— balle—_Oft riing 1, rifice wet ee Massing. tr out—By Stolen st 2. rea - Morrow a?

SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1913. » AUTO CLUB'S RUN COVERS 122 MILES Coursee ls From St. Louis to Washington and Return Through St. Clair, the Date Oct. 4. Every automobile owner in the city has received the map, guide and mileage of the Sixth Annual Owner’s Reliability Tour of the Automobile Club of St. Louis, which will > - held Oct. 4 “The tour is open te every amateur’ @river in the city,” said Samuel Plant, chairman the Touring Committee. “We have sert the literature pertaining to the tour to every automobile owner of the city, and we look fer a much larger entry list than we have ever had. “The owners will have ample oppor- tunity to drive over the route and get their cars in shape for the tour. The roads are in excellent condition, yet} ‘difficult, so as to make the tour exciting and to test the skill of the drivers. “There will be two cups, one for the roadster class and one for the touring class. In addition te this there will be @ trophy for each class, and every driv- er making the entire tour will be given the club emblem—a gold button.” The ruh this year will be out the Clay- ton road to Clarkson road, through El- Maville, and from there on thé Man- chester road to Pond, Gray’s Summit, ‘Washington, St. Clair, Moselle, back to. Gray's Summit and Pond and into 8t.' Zauis at Forest Park boulevard and ‘King’s highway. The checking station will be at Pond, Washington, St. Clair, Pond and Forest Mark Boulevard. The total distance of the run is 122.5 miles. An important feature of these relia- hhility runs is that they induce local au- Rhorities and citizens to improve the reads in their respective ot ah game REO HAS A . NEW MODEL RR. M. Owen & Co., general distrib- Mtors for the Reo Motor Car Co., an- mounce @ new fall series for the stand- ard Reo the Fifth $%-horsepower tour- ing car and roadster, which carries with St m reduction of $220 from the former price. What will please automobile buy- ers most is that every costly feature which has made Mr. Olds’ latest model distinctive and so widely popular, ts to yhe retained, while many timely improve- bee and refinements are 10w added to the fall series. The touring car and roadster are both fully equipped with electric starter with electrio generator, electric lights, electic horn, speedometer, mohair top, curtains, envelope, extra “demountable rim, including a standard equipment of tools and accessories. The body is of new design—snapz;jy, rakish' and low hung with cowl dash and gondola back—the very latest mode. The instrument board, with all instru- ments set flush, is placed within the easy reach of the driver. The wind shield, of new and special design is ven- tHating, clear vision and rain vision. The electric searchlights have a dimming at- tachment—an innovation that will be highly prized by drivers wherever the lo- cal ordinances prohibit the use of search- ‘lights. The new style tire carrier on the back holds the tail light and num- ber tag so as to comply with all laws. The transmission has been changed in ways which make for utter silence and maximum efficiency. Motor Cars Stored, Towed In, Repaired, all hours, day or night.

Under the new arrangement, W. C. Ghieldg will be in charge of the service yment, where the hundreds of St. Leuls Maxwell owners can secure parts end repairs and little service atten- tions at an instant's notice. Henry Die- bold, formerly manager of the Colonial Automobile Co., is still in charge of the retail department, while C. B, Longhorst will be the official representative of the Maxwell factory, in St. Louis and territory and will be in charge of the wholesale department exclusively. All of these departments will be lo- cated at 3848-50 Olive street, the home of the Colonial Automobile Co. Twelve new 2% roadsters and touring cars, six “"95"’ touring cars and two sixes are now on the floor for display and demonstra- tion.

The automobile “record, -elapsed time considered, between Kansas City and St. Louts, has been officially fixed at 11 hours 8 minutes, this rec- ord having been made last Tuesday by two St. Louis mechanics, driving a 1909 Cadillac car, owned by one of them, Exactly one week befone that the first official record between St. Louis and Kansas City was made by a Reo car, its elapsed time being 12 hours 55 minutés. Both runs were officially checked in and out of Kansas City and St. Louis and great care taken to verfify records. The Reo car, owing to high speed used in crossing. rough, rocky hills near Minneola, Mo., suffered from several blowouts. The Cadillac drivers, profiting by the misfortunes of théir predecessors on the _ route, took .the Minneola hills easily and made the round trip on St, Louis air, without a single puncture. The four-year-old Cadillac car is owned by Harry Wissler, mechanic for the Cadillac Automobile Co. of Missouri. With Erwin Stelzer, super- intendent of the Cadillac Co.'s repair and service department, as relief driver, they started from St. Louis last Sunday morning at 3 oclock, determined to equal or beat the rec- ord of the Reo. When near Boonville they hit a big bump in the road and swerved off the road. Their rear axle struck a telegraph post and the drive shaft housing was broken. They limped into Boonville and made tem- porary repairs, then drove on to Kan- sas City at a moderate pace. At Kansas City they secured a new housing, tuned up their car, were checked out by W. P. M. Stevens, rep- resentative of the American Automo- bile Club, at 5 a. m. Tuesday, and away they went for St. Louis to break the record or their car. When they arrived at Fulton they found Sheriff Sheley there armed with a telegram from Columbia, the majesty of the law and a warrant for their arrest for speeding through Co- lumbia. They were taken to court at a and fined $28.40. Then they in- ced the Sheriff to give them a cer- | ‘ jcate showing the time lost and | to officially start them again for St. | Louis. They arrived at the St. Louis line | at 8 minutes after 6, making their | elapsed time 13 hours 8 minutes. Un- | der the general practice, the delay caused by their arrest of exactly two hours, being classed as “an act of Providence;’ although they did not eo term it, is deducted, so that their eepecs time is 11 hours 8 minutes, h reduces the Reo record by hour 47 minutes. Two cars started from Kansas City during the same week to break the Reo’s record, but neither of them ever reached St. Louis. BUYER ASSEMBLED 18 TRUCK SELLERS Being in the market fora truck, the officers of the Geller, Ward & Hassner Hardware Co. ef St. Louls adopted a novel method of deciding which one, last Thursday. They invited truck agents to meet them at King’s highway and Lin- Gell avenue, at a specified hour, and when they arrived they found ¢ total as- examining each truck minutely. they went over into the Bixby residence grounds and decided that they wanted the Velie two-ton truck end tolad W. Ashley Gray of the Velie Motor Car Co. ‘| CELEBRATE OPENING OF ST. CHARLES ROAD The tooting of sirens and horns and the cheering of citizens of St. Charles, Mo., marked the dedication of a portion of the St. Charles Rock Road: yesterday by the Automobile Club of St. Louis. Up to the present time, the newly improved portion, which was known as the Old Gumbo Road, was not rel- ished by the automobilists, and it was largely through their work, com- bined with the efforts of the citizens of St. Charles that the highwat? was ballasted and crowned. and made equal to the rest of the thoroug gshfare, one of the best of St. Louis County’s, highways. To celebrate the event 12 automo- biles left the Automobile Club’s headquarters at the Planters Hotel at 1 p. m. They drove to the Blair Monument, where they were met by another delegation of automobiles and later their number was augment- ed at Clayton. After refreshments the entire party departed ovet the North and South Road, Olive street and Denny Roads for the St. Charles Rock Road and soon were in sight of the improved portion, which was marked by a large floral arch. The party then proceeded to the St. Charles bridge, where a delega- tion of 200 citizens met them and cheered them on their way. The au- tomobilists toured the streets of St. Charles and were grteted with en- thusiasm throughout the line. of march. BOARD SUSPENDS AUTO DRIVERS AND AGENTS The Contest Board of the American Automobile Association is making short shrift of manufacturers, dealers or drivers who violate its printed rules as to contests. The Lozier agent at Columbus, the Mercer agent at Cleveland, the Briggs-Detroiter agent at New York and the Nyberg Auto- mobile Co. Were disqualified for vary- ing periods for advertising that cars entered in races were “stock cars” when they were not. Half a dozen registered drivers were suspended for participating in unsanctioned races or hill climbs, and more than 20 unregistered drivers were disquali- fied for the same charges. The claim of Barney Oldfield for the one-mile record in 46 2-5 seconds at Bakersfield, Cal., was not allowed because the electric timing device had not been ey recognized by the Contest Board Now—weigh its price. The erful Ford competes for your favor with every other car— no matter what the price. That its cost is small is due to the manner and magni- tude of its making. troit, complete’ with and ‘particulars from veel MOTORIST WAGERS $12,000 ON TRIP Stop at St. Louls Half Way to New York, With Penalties on Tires, Springs and Repairs. Tt has been said that a theatrical man will go farther to get and spend less in order to secure desired publicity than any other type of business man. This theory was shattered Tuesday afternoon when C. EF. Smith the proprietor: of the Portola Hotel, San Francisco, drove up| to the Pianters Hotel, on the last leg of a transcontinental tour, the result of one of the most unique bets yet record- ed in automobile annals. He is getting the publicity wherever he stops, but at the risk of it costing him about $12,000 of good hard simoleons, for each tire may cost $850, each spring $600 and any motor trouble $5000. Six months ago Smith purchased a big six Locomobile, and about four months later he found himself in a party at one of the Frisco clubs. In the party were J. H. Hallahan, proprietor of the Market Street Theater, San Francisco; Manager Leonard of the Frisco Miller tire branch, and R. E. Hilton. The merits of the various cars and tires were ‘the subject discussed and Smith bét Hallahan $5000 that he could drive his Loco to New York in. 30 days, arive every mile of the way himself, and make all the necessary repairs on the machine. He also wagered another $5000 that he could make the trip on six Miller casings. . Hallahan “called” and the money was deposited with the Press of San Francisco. Each spring broken is t- also cost him $00. 12,, uccompanied by his wife and R. E.

The delay was occasioned by two of the tires being stolen at Laramie, Wyo., where it was necessary to hire another car and detectives, and spend two days chasing the thieves before the tires were recovered. _ He reports that he has had absolute- lv no trouble with the car and the only inconveniences have been the punctures and the tire repairs which all have to be made by himself. When he reached St. Louis he only had five tires left as one had been ruined by a blow-out. He left St. Louis Wednesday morning for Indianapolis, from whence he will go to Cleveland and on to New York, making the total distance traveled over 4000 miles. : r™ WORLD DISTRIBUTORS OF MARATHON CARS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 6—<A motor sales corporation to handle the output of the Marathon Motor Works of Nashville, Tenn., was incorporated here last Tuesday with a capital stock of $100,000. The concern is under the firm name of the Herff-Brooks Corporation, and will control the sale of Marathon cars throughout the world.

According to these men, two gangs of burglars, each having planned to rob the same place at the same time, met accidentally oytside, com- ‘pared. notes, combined forces and did the job together. The robbery was committed last Sun- day night, the stores of the Isaac Haas |}. Mercantile Co. and the Levi Goldman Mercantile Co. in the domble building et 1829 and 1331 Washington avenue be- tng entered. Because of the quantity |. ef goods taken, including 1500 pairs of trousers, the police surmise sagely that @ third set of burglars perhaps fol- lowed.the other two and carried awa; the major part of the loot Wanted Money for Drug. James Bruce, charged with participa- tion In the burglary, had told the po- lice some details of the affair. Yester- day William Ryan of 1918 Hebert street, arrested on a charge of stealing brass from W. A. Sanford of 2912 North Prairie avenue, was placed in the ce’! with Bruce. The police were not aware that the men were acquaint- ances. They greeted each other fa- millarly. A little later Ryan was re- moved to. another cell. Bruce then told a police sergeant that Ryan had helped rob the. stores. Bruce gaid he and a friend wanted money with which to buy morphine. They de- cided to,reb the stores, and were lying in a vacant lot at the rear when three young men, one of whom was Ryan Bruce said, catne along and asked them what they were doing. Bruce said he and’ his companton ex- plained that they were going to enter one of the stores through a window. that was “easy,” and the other fellows, hag stated, said they had planned to do the same job. The two parties of pro- spective burglars discussed the matter, he said. At first it Was proposed that they draw lots to determine which party shouid withdraw and let the other car- ry out the burglary, Bruce said, but finally they agreed to go in together. Bruce told the police that he sold sev- eral pairs of trousers to Joseph .Roth- man, who deals in secondhand clothing at 806 North Ninth strest. Rothman was arrested. Rothman denies the transaction.

“¢ + ” EDITED BY T W ORCUTT Former Secretary St. Louis Poultry Association. + —— “INQUESTOF THE “TSLERE A YEAR POULTRY FARM HEN Trap. Nest Scores Make Possible Breecing From Best Layers of the Fldécks. The prodictive possibilities of the American hen from a commercial stand- point, since the advent of the trap-nest several years ago, has caused breeders and the various poultry experiment sta- tions, both B'ederal and State, to take up the matter of producing a commer- clal breed of hens that will average 150 eggs a hen a year. | Prior to the use of the trapnest, it was very difficult to tell which hens in the flock were producing a sufficient number of eggs to warrant their use as breeders, consequently very little prog- ress was made in the way of produc- ing a profitable commercial breed. : The demand Zor such a breed has 'n- creased largely during the last five years to meet requirements of the many commercial egg farms that have sprung up in almost every state in the Union. No branch of the poultry industry affords a better opportunity to the farmer to establish a profitable busi- ness than a fully equipped egg-produc- ing plant. Such a plant, well conduct- ed, produces a reasonable profit ths year around, Such a business as this will, of course, grow from year to year. Tt is impossible, at all seasons, to meet the demand for strictly fresh eggs, hence this branch of the poultry indus- try offers unlimited opportunities to in- ‘crease the production of commercial eggs, without fear of decreased prices brought about by a surplus of the prod- uct. - Exess Higher Each Year. There was a progressive increase in the price of ezgs in 1912, over 1911, and tam year the outlook is for a higher average, as strictly fresh eggs have gold this season at a larger percentage of profit than any. other agricultural product. Only within recent years has any ef- fort been made to discover which is the Best breed for commercial egg produc- tion, and, despite a great many expen- ative experiments, very little progress has been made. Here and there individ- ual hens have been reported to have laid in excess of 200 eggs per year, but the commercial hen must be considered by the flock and not by. individual! perform- ers. The hen that wil) lay 150 eggs a year is very profitable to keep, if kept in large numbers, and to deyelop a breed that will score this average is the object of experimenters. The improvement made so far has been accomplished by selective breeding and scientific: heusing and feeding, and the trap vest is responsible for the progress by keeping accurate account for each hez. A successful commercial poultryman must be a specialist in this branch of poi ttry culture, and his whole time and attention should be given to the methods employed in increasing the average ecg yield of the flock. Great care should be exercised n the mating of the breed- ing birds in order to produce the most prolific layers. Trap Nest Trouble Pays. By the constant use of trap nests, which involves * treat deal of labor and detail, the * © .er can keep accurate, individual ex sords by which the best layers in thé .ock are identified, and by selecting these birds for the breeding pens their heavy egg-laying qualities are imparted to the offspring. The pullets from these matings, such as show good type and are hardy and vigorous, should be selected for the laying house. Recause a female with a poor egg rec- ord will seldom produce good layers, while the prolific layer is almost sure to transmit her good qualities into a large percentage of her offspring, accu- rate selection of females for the breed- ploodlines of the male birds. In every instance the males should be the sons of heavy egs-producing females, and the result will be still more satisfactory if their sires are from heavy laying stock. Tt will be necessary to discover and weed out the drones which will appear in spite of breeding care; Drones are the cause of many egg farm fallures. Hens Lay in Clutches. Most hens lay. in cutches; that is, they lay three or four eggs then skip a day. A great many will average two eggs in three days until 16 to 2% eggs are laid Then they will then lay off several days, or until the first of a new clutch of eggs is matured. This egg develop- ment period and the lost moulting sea- son cuts the laying average. If the experiments in progress will produée a breed of hens that will av- erage 150 eggs a year for each hen in a flock, the results will be satisfac- tory to egg farm owners, The unanimity with which public thought is turning in the direction of the commercial hen, and the recognition hich poultry breeding is receiving at « hands of the business world, is at.azing. The demand for poultry and exes far exceeds the supply, and egg production, wnen developed upon asci- entific principles, will, without ques- ‘ i TYPES OF STANDARD BRED HENS WITH LARGE LA YING RECORDS White Leghorn, 274 EKggs im a Year.

See answer to J. E. C. Stale bread. Is stale bread a good feed for chick- ers? I have been feeding it to my chick- ens for some time and am losing quite a few that seem to die very suddenly.— D. R. H., Paris, Tex. :, Stale bread, when moldy, is poison- ous. Bread should not be fed after it begins to mold. To prevent the mold, cut the loaves into four pleces and dry or bake them unti] they are hard. Stale bread, free from mold, is a very good feed if mixed with bran and alfalfa meal and fed as a mash once a day. It should be fed only to birds that are more than six weeks old. Blindness. I have a chick that cannot see to pick up grain, and seems to follow the old hen only by ¢he sound she makes in walking. Is there an eye disease preva- lent that would cause this condition?— B. M., 8t. Louis, Mo. It is evident that the chick is blind and will starve to death unless fed by hand. There is no prevalent disease causing blindness. Primary Feathers. What are primary feathers? In sev- eral books I have read of primary feath- ers, but I am unabie te tell them on a fowl. B. A. F, Hickman, Ky. Primary feathers are the flight feath- ers of the wings. They are hidden when the wing is closed, being tucked under the visible wing ccmposed of the sec- ondary feathers. Usually the primaries have the deepest color of any, except tail feathers, and great importance is attached to their color by breeders. lime for Shell. Is lime good for hens? I have been told to give my hens lime in order to obtain even-colored sheils on my eggs.— K. A. M., Oran, Mo. Raw lime will burn your chickens’ throats and will not affect the color of the egg shells. Ordinarily hens will not eat enough lime to form shells if they are laying abundantly unless some- thing besides the regular grain feeds is acoessible. Oyster shells are very good for this purpose. A box containing crushed sheils shouldibe before them all the time, allowing them to eat at will. Old mortar and fine gravel are useful in supplying lime. Indian Runner Duck Club. Is there a specialty club of breeders of Indian Runner ducks? I have trie: several times to get this information, without success.—-D. F. B., Atlanta, Ga Yes, the English Runner Club of America. Write to W. J. Patton, sec- retary, Glenview, Il. Poultry Bulletins, Where can I obtain information on experimental work at the poultry ex- periment stations?—R. E. K., Macon, Ga. All states that maintain experiment stations publish bulletins covering the results of their experiments, but ths distribution is confined within the state uniess postage is enclosed with request. Would suggest that you write the Geor- gia Experiment Station, which {ts lo- cated at Experiment, Ga. Arthur MF. Rolf, poultry husbandman in charge, will furnish you the information you desire. Dust Boxes. What kind of dust should be used In chicken houses to keep the lice off the hens? How Goes it affect the lice? I have tried coal ofl on the roosts and whitewash, but my hens are still both- ered with lice. n 2. St. Louis. Hard coal ashes, road dust or dust from earth of any kind, placed in a box in the chicken house where the hens can get at it, will rid your hens of lice, Poultry Uce breathe through pores in their sides and fine dust filis these pores and suffocates the vermin. Gape Worms, I.hotice some of my young chicks t’ ing to cough, as if something is in ‘Aeir Perats. I have been told that they have gapes. Some of them have died. How can I cure the survivors? B. R. W. Leasburg, Mo. Clean your pens, feed and water pans and disinfect with a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid. Separate the sick from the well birds and remove the worms from the throats of the sick birds by inserting a feather moistened with tur- pentine or kerosene oil down their throats. The oil will dislodge the worms POULTRY PROBLEMS SOLVED. is caused by a mite that burrows under the scales of the feet and shanks. It is very infectious, but does not spread rapidly. Soak the infected feet in warm soapy water and rub them with a stiff brush. This will remove the out- side scales. After removing the scales apply equal parts of melted lard and kerosene once a day until the feet and legs resume their natural condition an4 color. Nonsitting Breeds. I intend to keep a few chickens in my back yard and would prefer a breed that does not sit. Can you tell me a good breed of this kind?—Mrs. P. A. W., St. Louis, Mo. Any of the varieties of the Mediter- ranean class are considered nonsitters, viz.: Leghorns, minorcas, andalusians, campines and red caps. Would suggest | that you keep any ef the dark-colored varieties of this class. Cure for Pip. One of my chickens has a growth on its tongue. It holds its mouth open and does not eat. What is the cause, and what’ shall I do to cure it?—H. R. W., Alton, Til. Your chicken has the Pip, which usual]- ly results from a slight cold which com- pels the bird to breathe through its mouth. The continual passing of air over the tongue causes it te become dry, hard and scaly, especially about the tip. Remove the growth from the tengue after softening it with vaseline. A mixture of glycerin and water, equal barts, applied to the tongue twice a day will cure the bird. | How to Get Campines, Will you please tell me where Y can get the improved English type of cam- pines and what they will cost?—J. FE. C., Sapulpa, Ok. Write to any of the breeders of this variety whose advertisements appear on this page of the Post-Dispatch. : JURY DISAGREES IN CASE OF $18,000 RACE SWINDLE Nine Hold Out for Acquittal of Arkansan Accused of Defraud- ing Stockmen in East St. Louis. MOUNT IDA, Ark., Sept. 6.—Stand- ing 9 for acquittal and 8 for convic- tion, a jury which heard the case in| which Edward Spear of Hot Springs was charged with being implicated in a conspiracy through which John Rumping, a Montana stockman, lost $18,000 on a fake horserace in an East §t.

FARMER IN CAPITAL SAVED FROM SWINDLERS About to Invest $2000 in Ancient Penny Matching Swindle; Men Frightened Away. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Thaddeus R. Campbell, a ‘wealthy farmer of Bowling Green, Va., was inveigled into a penny matching game by two men near the Washington monument and they came near separating him from $2000, Campbell met the men in the treasury and they, posing as tourists, went with him to see the monument. There the two men began to match pennies and Campbell joined. The stakes were in- creased and Campbell won steadily, the Jast being a $2000 bet. The loser demanded that Campbell produce. $2000 as an evidence of his abil- ity to pay if he had lost and Campbell hurried to Bowling Green to draw the cash, He told his banker, who returned here with him. When the swindlers saw Campbell's companion they became sus- picious and fled. 150 DROWNED IN INDIA SIMLA, British India, Sept. 6—One hundred and fifty native men, women and children were drowned today when fording the River Beas in the Hoshiar- pur district of the Punjab, on their wey to attend a fair.

AMES TRACT COMES IN FOR MUCH ATTENTION Parkview, North Parkview, University City, West Portland Place, Forsythe Place and Maryland Ter- race All to Share in Busi- ness. Realty men believe that a movement of extensive scope is scheduled in property between Delmar boulevard and Clayton road, in the West End. Hillcrest and University City, the lat- ter embracing the Ames tract, Maryland terrace, West Portland place and Uni- versity Heights, all of whieh are west of Skinker road, are expected to be the most active sections. Activity in-this locality, however, will be more or less in abeyance until after the auction to be held at Hillcrest on Sept. 27, and the success of which is vir- tually assured, according to John 5S. Harris, salesmanager of the Kilgen-Rule Real Estate Co., acting for the owners of the subdivision. The disposition of possible buyers is to await the distribution of the auction’s prizes, agents declare. Sites west of Skinker road are exciting the attention of homeseekers and in- tors, especially those of Parkview. here remain only 20 lots of the original offering of the Berdith Realty Co. in Parkview, according to Elmore Cave, who is engineering this sale. Good Profits in These Lots. Many lots in this exclusive West End plat have been converted by buyers at handsome profits, especially the choicer lots that were snapped up before the prices were advanced. The upbuilding of Parkview is almost complete, the houses varying in price from $10,000 to $50, 000. The Ames tract, the indications are, will go like wildfire when it is placed on the market. Although the grading of this new subdivision is not complete, the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. its agent, has been almost bewildered with inquiries. About forty lots of the Ames tract were disposed of from the blue prints, with provisions for the im- provement of every fifth lot with a house costing not less than $5000. The purchasers, the Federal Invest- ment Co., of which W. H. Carroll is president, and the George F. Berg- feld Real Estate Co. are high-class builders in the city and the probabil- ity is that the nucleus of the un- building in the Ames tract will set a high standard. Notwithstanding the substantial of- fers for lots in the Ames tract, Col. Henry Semple Ames, the owner, de- clines to dispose of another lot until the subdivision is perfected. Authori- ties say that the lots will command from .$60 to $75 a foot, including cost of streets and municipal improve- ments. Pennsylvania Avenue Macadamiszed. The Ames tract, which is being im- proved at a cost of $250,000, extends from Parkview on the east to West Portland Place on the west, complet- ing a chain of ultra high-class sub- divisions. Pennsylvania avenue, which forms the western line of the Ames tract and the east ling of University Heights, West Portland Place, Mary- land Terrace and Forsythe, is being macadamized its entire length. As the connecting link between Delmar on the north and Forsythe on the south Pennsylvania avenue will be the most important highway of ve- hicle traffic in St. Louis County. With its introduction asa full- fledged highway, together with the extension of the University car line (Olive street) to West Portland Place, it is predicted, University City will receiva new impetus. Contracts soon will be let, it is said, for the erection of from 26 to 30 houses in this district, ranging in price from $10,000 to $25,000.

GRAND OPTICAL AUTHORITIES OF AMERICA trom $10,000 to $26,000 have been erected during the last year, there being not less than a dozen homes of this class completed or in process of construction on this thoroughfare. Bids have just been taken for the erection on the north side of King’s Highway boulevard of a house, the cost of which, it is estimated, will approximate $25,000. Maryland Terrace Golmg Ahead. Building in Maryland terrace and For- sythe place, both of which overlook Washington University, will not lag, it is declared. The-former is being handled by the Davis Realty Development Co., which announces that more than two- thirds of this high-class subdivision has been disposed of. The Laarge-Real Es- tate Co. is erecting high-grade houses in Forsythe place, one of the highest points of St. Louis County. : Building continues to flourish in Washington Heights, both east and west of River des Peres. Apartment buildings have sprung up like magic in thfs section. Apparently the building will. cease only when the supply of sites is depleted. There was not 4 building in Washington Heights two and a half years ago, when the Mercantile Trust Co. disposed of it in lots to suit to the highest bidder. F. J. Cornwell & Co., J. L Epstein and John 8. Blake & Bro., Le Grand Jones, A. A. Fischer and the Rutledge & Kilpatrick Real Es- tate Co. have been prominent in - the building of Washington Heights. Plans are being drawn for a score >» apartments for North Parkview, which was recently closed out by auction un- der the auspices of the Kilgen-Rule Real Estate Co., with John S. Harris as sales manager... Building in the ad- dition was deferred by the inability to obtain insurance, owing to the with- drawal of the insurance companies. Within the next 90 days, if plans do not go awry, between 25 and 30 apart- ment buildings will be under way here. North Parkview, lying on the north line of Delmar boulevard and runs from Skinker road to Mellville avenue or the city limits. Few builders have had the temerity to build high-class residences east of Skinker road or in the Washington Heights district, which is essentially an apartment building locality. i ae EAGLE SUBPLY COMPANY OCCUPIES NEW BUILDING Structure Is Four Stories High Beautifully Fitted With Every Business Convenience. _ The Eagle Supply Co. last week moved into the handsomest building now occu- pied in the Southwest by a mail order company. The new building is located at the northeast corner of Tenth and Tyler streets in North St. Louis. The building is of unique design and fitted so beautifully inside that the of- fice force is working-in what appears to be a real garden of beauty. The new building, four stories in height, is of the slow combustion sprinkler protected design. It is built | of stock brick with white stone trim- mings, and the offices are decorated with white enameled brick and quar- ter-sawed oak furnishings. All of the office furniture is of polished oak. The office is illuminated by what is known as a semi-indirect electric light- ing system. The Eagle Supply Co. does a gener4] nail order business, dealing direct with the consumer and supplying the latter with anything in-:ang line on earth, large or small. ; The officers of the Eagle Supply Co. ire native-born St. Louisans.

A new family hotel, on the site of the Berlin Hotel, at Taylor and Bertin avenues, will be ready for occupancy Sept. 15. The leasing of the hotel is in the hands of the Frank W. Schramm company, and because of the abundant business available for family hotels in this neigh- borhood, it is believed that a disposi- tion will be made of the property in a few days. The house, the name ef which will be determined by the lessee, has wide halls, private baths, steam heat, electric ele- vators and concrete stairways. THIN FOR YEARS— POUNDS IN 23 DAYS” “GAINS 22 Remarkable Experience of F. Gagnon Bullds Up Weight Wonderfully. “I was all run down to the very bot- tom,” writes F. Gagnon. “I had to quit work, I was so weak. Now, thanks to Sargol, I look like a new man. I gained 22 pounds in 23 days.” “Sargol has put 10 pounds on me in 14 days,” states W. D. Roberts. “It has made me sleep well, enjoy what I ate and enabled me to work with interest and pleasure.” “I weighed 132 pounds’ when I com- menced taking Sargol. After taking 20 days I weighed 144 pounds. Sargol is the most wonderful preparation for flesh building I have ever seen,” declares D. Martin, and J. Meier adds: “For the past twenty years I have taken medicine every day for indigestion and got thin- ner every year. I took Sargol for forty days and feel better than I have felt in twenty years. My weight has increased from 1506 to 170 pounds.” When hundreds of men and women— and there are hundreds, with more com- ing every day—living in every nook and corner of this broad land, voluntarily testify to weight increases ranging al! the way from 10 to 85 pounds, given them by Sargol, you must admit, Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Thin Reader, that there must be something in this Sargol method of flesh-building after all. Hadn’t you better look into it, just as thousands of others have done? Many thin folks say: “I'd give most anything to put on a little extra weight, but when someone suggests a way they exclaim. “Not a chance. Nothing will make me plump. I'm built to stay thin.” Until you have tried Sargol you do not and cannot know that this is true. ; Sargol has put pounds of healthy “stay there’ flesh on hundreds who doubted and in spite of their doubts. You don’t have to believe in Sargo! to grow plump from its use. You just-take it and watch weight pile up, hollows vanish and your figure round out to pleasing and normal proportions. You weigh yourself when you begin and again when you finish and you let the scales tel] the story. Sargol is absolutely harmiess. It is a tiny concentrated tablet. You take one with every meal. It mixes with the food you eat for the purpose of separating all of its flesh-producing ingredients. It prepares these fat-making elements in an easily assimilated form, which the blood can readily absorb and carry all over your body. Plump, well-developed persons don’t need Sargol to produce | this result. Their assimilative ma- chinery performs its functions without aid. But thin folks’ assimilative organs do not. This fatty portion of their food now goes to waste through their bodies like unburned coal through an open grate. A few days’ test of Sargol in your case will surely prove whether or not this is true of you. Isn’t it worth trying? } 50c BOX FREE To enable any thin reader, ten pound fn etc., and be sent by return Mail this veg on ostage, packing, 0c package wil mail free of charge. with your letter to the Sargo!

gr. LouIs POST-DISPATOH, LE NTE LLG IETS LEC BN: BOE oT I AP ofthe Seen by Guide for First ‘Time Since His Exile In His Weekly Report, He Ad- mits It Was Hard to Resist Chance Intruder’s, Greeting but He Ignored It and Changed His Base of Opera- tions by ‘Thrilling ‘Night Flight Lest Others, Hearing Where He Was, Call to See Him—He Writes a Letter to President Wilson. IN CAMP, BIG SPENCER LAKE, Me., Sept. 1. OSEPH KNOWLES, the self-exiled “man of ' J the woods,” has been seen. He is gaunt, powerful, browned by the sun. For 24 days, from August 4 to 28, no human eye had seen this man who is living for two months here, the only self-dependent civilized man on the earth's surface. ; Last Thursday he was seen at close range by A. W. Deming of Flagstaff, Me., a guide in the region where Knowles is demonstrating the prim- itive life. When Deming reported back to the camps of sportsmen that he had seen Knowles, ‘he was besieged with inquiries about the appear- ance of the isolated forest man. Here is Deming’s own story of his discovery of Knowles in the forest: “After leaving the party of sportsmen I had been guiding on Spencer Lake, on Thursday, I had a few hours to myself, and decided to make a trip on my own hook to Lost Pond. I had never been there, and had heard a lot about the place since Knowles wept into the woods. “I struck off over the leg of the mountain, and crossed down through the lowland. I found a trai] and went along that for some miles with- out seeing signs of a pond. I must have gone several miles when I came across a wet place in the ground and followed it back to a spruce thicket, where I found a spring and a birch bark drinking cup. I was just in the act of dipping up some water, when I heard a sound behind me. “As I turned my head, I saw a man step out of the thicket, not more than 50 feet from where I stood. He saw me just as I saw him. I am sure the man was Joe Knowles. I knew him whén he was a guide, but I was only a boy at that time and I doubt if he knew me. “I spoke to him and called him by name. He Stood and looked at me, but said nothing. I La. 99 Knowles’ Sketches of the rude waited for him to say something, but as he did not answer, I took my drink and walked away. I had heard that he did not want to be dis- turbed in the woods, and suppose that this is why-he did not speak. “He had no covering above the waist. I am sure he had some kind of trousers on, but I could not see whether he had any shoes or moccasins on his feet. He wore no hat. “What I noticed more was that he had a heavy growth of grayish beard and his hair was very white. He was thin and very brown and his shoulders were almost black.” At King and Bartiett Camps, where Knowles’ belongings are held for him, the report that Knowles had been sighted created great excite- ment. For weeks, the sportsmen and their guides, who are trout fishing in the lakes and streams that border Knowles’ domain, have been expecting to catch a glimpse of the forest man. Along the trails, constant watch has been kept, ever since Knowles disappeared Aug. 4. My Fourth Week In the Woods By JOSEPH KNOWLES (Written on birchbark with charcoal). (Copyright, 1913, by Joseph Knowles.) WEDNESDAY, Aug. 27. AM now paying the price that nature demands for athe privilege of living an independent life among her wild creatures in the forest. I feel I must do something to keep my mind from the outside world for the remainder of my two months. For, while my bodily needs are supplied, my mind is starv- ing. Today I am secure so far as living is concerned. I am now satisfied that I could carry on this mere existence indefinitely. With my fire, lean-to and - BUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1913. ungers for Books_“M} y ’ Bodil Nec Pre ps. ae Rn PEF Re oon = 3327 as" sows ns eonne FA Poe implements und weapons he has fashioned for himself. bear-skin covering, my bodily comforts are all that I could expect under the conditions in which I am living. I have food enough to last me some time. Tasteless though it is, without the seasoning I have been accustomed to, and some of it positively dis- tasteful to me, it is food that will satisfy the crav- ings of hunger. The methods and materials that will satisfy my mind and keep it in the channels I have imposed upon it, are harder to find than was food, fire and shelter when I entered the forest without the aids to human life. There is one big thing I am working on, and if I accomplish this, it will partially satisfy the craving of my mind. I have been experimenting in a small way along this line, and have made some progress, and believe that this will help me through.the long days and nights that lay before me. The charcoal sketches that I have been’ making have suggested to me the idea of making paper and attempting a picture in colors. I have tested the stains and colors of roots,. barks and berries, until now I am sure of all the colors I shall require. I have made small pieces of paper by grinding soft woods into pulp. My crude sheets of paper, something-—like blotting paper, are clean and nearly white. I have also made my brushes. I am so thoroughly carried away with the new idea that I have neglected everything else. I have even at times forgotton ‘to eat. Now that-the wolf has disappeared and my mind is occupied -with the new idea, I am looking forward to working in colors as one Of the greatetst accomplishments of my whole trip. His Paper Making Experiment. Y paper makings yet an experiment with me. IVI The small sheets I have produced so far have been made by grinding pieces of soft wood agaings a stone under water in a birch bark dish, thus producing a pulp. I drajn the water off the pulp, then spread it evenly on a sheet of smooth birch bark and roll the water out of it with a round, smooth stick. I then place it in the sun to dry, and as it dries it releases itself from the bark, and I have an apology for paper. While I lack the pressure of hea’y rolls to harden this paper, judging from my tests of color on its surface, I am sure I can make a real picture on a larger scale. For my colors I have tried out various barks and roots by crushing them and soaking them in water. The pure juice of the berries is deep and sticky. By thinning it with water it is transparent and pleasing in coler, and blends perfectly with the more ‘subdued tones of the bark and roots. I have some good brushes which I made from the short stiff hair that grows around the nose of the bear. After selecting the best hair, I tied it together with a longer hair and pulled it through the quill of an eagle’s feather. After plugging the quill with hot spruce gum to secure the hair, I attached a small stick for a handle. These brushes will do the trick. _ The feathers I picked up at the foot of a preci- pice on Heald Mountain, where there is,an eagle’s nest on a shelf in the face of the cliff. At the bottom of this cliff are many bones of birds and small animals, which the eagles have dropped after having picked them clean of the meat, There is only one way to reach an eagle’s nest. That is, from the top of the cliff by lowering a man down on a rope. I shall not try to reach this nest, but will make use of any feathers they drop at the foot of the cliff. Misses a Civilized Knife. ORE than any other implement, I miss a VI knife. I have passed up the more difficult things which I would like to make, because my time is too limited for the slow processes I am obliged to adopt. There are a hundred ways a knife would save me much time and labor. In every move it would be an aid. It is the most valuable thing a man ever carried into the woods, With a knife, I could in time cut down the great- est tree in the forest. This week I have spent two whole days making a bow from bornbeam (also known as ironwood) the hardest and toughest wood that grows .in the North woods, I have scraped and worn it down into shape with my stone implements and with sand. All of this work I could have done in-a few hours with a knife. And I shall not soon forget that day when with my stone knives I rasped and tore the skin from my bear. The only real weapon I have made so far is the bow and arrow. When I was a boy, I learned to make them for toys. But the one I have now is no toy. Today I tested it out, and I would rather have it than some rifles I have seen. I can drive an arrow with terrific force. My bow, of hornbeam, is the strongest I ever saw. Fora bow-string I have used the twisted sinews from the bear. I have made a few arrows, tipped them with sharp stone and will make more and better ores when I wish to secure more skins for cover- ing. My bow and arrow comprise the only device I will use in future for obtaining game at a dis- tance. And the distance cannot be too great, for I am not so sure with an arrow as with a mod- ern high-power rifle. He Tells of Being Seen. SATURDAY, Aug. 390. WO days ago I saw a man at my spring. He was evidently as surprised as I was. He called me by my name, but I did not answer him. The man turned and walked away and I watched him till he disappeared in the woods. I never saw him before, and I think he was alone. It Was a great temptation for me to answer him before he went away, but I thought by remaining silent, it would not-encourayge others to try to find me. I felt more alone than ever, after he had gone, I went back to my camp and put everything I had in my pack, including dried berries, smoked fish and a quantity of smoked and dried bear meat, I rolled up the bear skin, lashed it to my pack, and left my camp. I shall not return again to that part of my territory. I wish the people would not disturb me, I left a note at the camp saying I would not return. That night was the hardest of my whole experience since entering the woods on Aug. 4. I hope I shall never again be forced to pass such a night, and I am recording my experiences while they are still fresh in my memory. The whole thing was like a'‘terrible nightmare. The BIG SPENCER LAKE, Me., Sept. 1. NE of the most remarkable letters O ever written by a civilized man came out this week from Knowles. It was addressed to President Woodrow Wil son, and conveyed to the chief executive the respects of this man who is living the strangest life in the world. “On a sheet of birchbark, about 12 by 16 inches, which the “Man of the Woods” had hacked from the tree with his crude stone ar, he has written in charcoal a letter that has the ruggedness of the out of doors, and the clearness and strength of the man of action.

I have constructed a hut in primitive ways, built my fire by friction and secured my food, which consists of berries, fish and bear meat. I have partially clothed myself and have killed only one animal, a bear. When I emerge on Oct. 4 I have planned to be completely and comfortably clothed. I am recording my experiences in writing and drawings. My object is to demonstrate that moderm man is not only the equal of primitive man in ability to maintain himself, but that civ- ilization has so improved the human mind that he may add to primitive life accomplish- ments which our early ancestors never knew. Respectfully, JOSEPH KNOWLES. scratches and cuts which I received in the tangle of dead cedar are today evidence of the struggle I had to keep from getting mired in a bog. It was late in the afternoon when I entered the swamp, and my progress was so slow that darkness overtook me before I was half way through it. { decided to camp for the night in the dryest place I could find. I tried to start a fire, but everything was so wet after the recent rains that I had to give this up. It was so uncomfortable that I again tried in the darkness to pick my way out of the jungle. I. wis hampered by the bulk of my pack more than by its weight. I had to climb over the fallen timber in many places where it would have been much easier to crawl under it, had it not been for my pack, which seemed to Hang me up on everything. Compelled to Abandon Pack. T last I was compelled to leave the thing in the A swamp. I hung it on the limb of a dead cedar, and spotted a trail by breaking overlimbs and underbrush. I had an idea that I must be near the edge of the swamp, and so I kept on trying to get out. | The further I went the worse the footing and tangle became. I forced my way along, and at last, look- ing up through the trees, I could make out an open space in front of me. This was shortly after leaving the pack. I wished I had taken it with me, but in the dark I could not go YX»ack. It was intensely cold and I felt the need of the bearskin. I had covered my pack with it to protect my food, when I needed it to protect my back. I was a fool not to have taken the hide at least. The heavy clouds that had made it so dark in the swamp broke away, and the moon occasionally broke through. I cohtinued out to the edge of the opening and started to cross to the other side, where I could see the outline of higher land against the sky. I had nearly reached the center of the opening on the dead cedars that were half buried in the grass and mud, when*I came to a dead stream. This I followed up on the bank. While I was attempting to cross on a tree trunk that had fallen across the stream, the wet bark slipped and let me ‘down into the mud and water. It required all the strength I had left to free myself from the suction of the mud and pull myself back onto the log. I crept back along the log to the bank from which I had started, then went further up the stream.

PSYCHE. EWPORT society had a thrill which caused it to hold its breath when Miss Florence Fleming Noyes, originator of a new style of rhythmic dancing, e= sayed the role of Venus in a pageant given recently at the magnificent estate of Commodore and Mrs. Arthur Curtis James. Mrs. J. W. Hawksworth arranged the pageant, the mythological characters being assumed by mem- bers of the smart set. There were Tritons and mer- maids, Neptune and other marine deities and fanciful characters. Miss Noyes as the beautiful sea goddess, however, was the chief attraction, and her dancing and disappearance made a startling climax to the spectacle. Miss Noyes was borne into the ballroom reclining on a huge seashell carried by six Tritons. In her wake followed Neptune mounted upon a white horse. The dancer was barefooted.

The dancer went through various rhythmical figures, to the softened music of the orchestra. Meantime from the surface of. the tank arqaa @ mist like that arising from the sea.

There was just one omission, and it came near proving fatal to the entire party and adding to the Arctic another total disaster like that which left the frozen bodies of Capt. Robert E. Scott and his three companions on an ice field in the Abtarctie after they hed reached the South Pole. This omission is indicated above—the German ex- pedition neglected to take along some explorers who had been in the Arctic regions before and knew from rough experience how to be ready for emergencies.

From time to time came scant, unsatisfying re- ports. Each of these carried news of disaster, with hints of still graver moment. It was believed for a long time that Lieut. Schroeder Stranz and most of his men hed perished. It was known months ego that at least four of the party were dead. The world heard comparatively little about the expedition. Had it been commanded by Peary or by Amundsen the interest would have been keener. Men who had been connected with Arctic exploration predicted that failure and probably death would be the result of the rash dash into the unknown by tnexperienced adventurers. Over a glacier. At the right, the leader of the Relief Expedition, Capt. Staxrud; on the sled, Dr. Rudiger. Capt. Ritschel, commander of the Herzog Ernst and second in command of the expedition, sent to the world of civilization the first report from the party. Last January, seven months from the date of departure, Capt. Ritschel, unaccompanied, made his way to the American Coal Co.’s camp at Advent Bay. He was sick and exhausted. He had had a terrible journey. From what he re- ported it was believed, that he was the sole sur- vivor of the party of 16 men. Ritschel said that the ship went into winter quarters in Trunenburg Bay, in North Spitzen- bergen, early in August. Lieut. Stranz and three others started Aug. 16 on a sledge journey, pre- sumably to Northeast Land, across Henlopen Strait, their object being to get some sledging experience for a campaign against the Northeast Passage the following season. According to Capt. Ritscnel the abandoned by the rest of the party Sept. 9. his command they began a forlorn retreat ward Advent Bay, which is 120 miles from the abandoned vessel. It appears that provisions nec- ship was Under to- -essary to prevent scurvy had run short at that early date and some of the men were suffering from scurvy. A few, it was said, were in the last stages of the disease when the party abandoned the ship. Their only hope was to reach Advent Bey and find proper food and medical treat- ment. The retreating party crossed Wijde Bay on the ice and halted there until Dec. 10. They were about half way to Advent Bay. Ritschel said fearful- storms and exhaustion caused this halt, which experienced explorers declare was un wise, even under those circumstances. Before reach- ing the point where they halted to recuperate, Dr. Rudiger, the oceanographer of the expedition, SUNDAY. MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—SEPTEMBER 7, 19153. was left behind in a rude camp, with two months’ provisions, according to Ritschel’s story. ‘Herr Rave, a marine artist, remained with the doctor, who could travel no farther because of frozen toes. Capt. Ritschel made his way ‘alone to the min- ing camp on Advent Bay. This is pronounced by old Aretic explorers a most plucky feat. They wonder how he did it. At Advent Bay there were 8) coal miners in winter camp. They had plenty of food, fuel and stoves. As soon as they heard Capt. Ritschel’s tale they organized a relief party and started northward. In the meantime, it appears, the men whom Ritschel left in camp made up their minds that the best thing they could do was to try to get back to the ship. They broke camp before the relief party reached the spot. cuers found only the scant litter of their occu- pancy. Now comes the story of Artist Rave and the oceanographer, Dr. Rudiger, as told by the diary of Rave, who was picked up by a rescue party early this year and reached Advent Bay late in May. His story and that of Ritschel differ in several essentials, Rave wrote: | “The proposal to abandon the ship came from Capt. Ritschel at the beginning of September. The vessel,then was provisioned for four months; besides there was a large supply of condensed foods, and she was otherwise well equipped. “The party started for Advent Bay Sept. 21 and reached a hut on Wijde Bay Oct. 4. Dr. Rud- iger was suffering then from @ half-frozen foot, two of his toes being in bad condition. “I offered to remain with him there until the others could bring back help. The hut contained a month's provisions. Dr. Rudiger and I were The would-be res- Ship Herzog Ernst, August 17, 1913, on coast of Northeast Land. without tools, sleeping bags or lights.

The provisio&as ran out and we left the hut Nev. 23, hoping @» Segain the ship. We suffered severely, having sething to drink, but we reached a hut at Mossel Bay, where we found some hard and moldy bread ‘‘We remained there three days during a storm and then started again for the ship, guiding our- selves by the stars. We arsived at the ship Dec. 1 Dr. Rudiger had suffered greatly, twe more of his toes and four fingers having been frozen, while his foot became so bad that it had te be amputated. “The guides and saflors of the expedities oe turned to the ship unexpectedly Dee 34, report- ing the loss of Eberhart. They had ne news of Dr. Dettmers or of Dr. Moesser, the botanist. They said Capt. Ritschel had gone on alene to Advent Bay. “Stave died Feb. 24 and the Norwegian refief expedition, commanded by QGapt Stazrad, ap- pcared April 21.” A German relief expedition already Bed been sent out, commanded by Capt. Lerner. This party sailed in the ship Loevenskield. For many mo@ths nothing was heard of the party. Then, last August, a telegram announced that the ship had sunk, but that Capt. Lerner and Bis party, com- prising five Germans who had had Arctie expert- ence and eight sailors, had reached land safely in the ship’s small boats. They reported havinc found no trace of Lieut. Stranz or any ef his men. From the time Rave’s message was sent from Advent Bay, last May, nothing more ha@ been heard of the rest of hte party. Capt. Stazrud of the Norwegian relief expedition also reported by wireless that he had found no trace of Lieut. Stranz and his three companions in Northeast Land. This party of four, which left the ship in August, 1912, is belleved by the survivors and rescuers to have perished.

LOUIS SHOPPERS e ¥ or HEY all look alike to me” said a St. Louis society woman after she had examined this page of photographs in which pictures of society girls and matrons taken at Newport are mingled with- out distinguishing mark with snapshots of St. Louis shoppers taken at random on the city streets. Can you meet with any better success than did this society woman? Can you by taking the pictures in order say that this one is the photograph of a Newport fashionable and this the snapshot of a St. Louis woman on vargains bent? Try it, before reading of the mistakes which the social leader, who is familiar with Newport, made. Picture No. 1, she guessed was that of a society girl at New- port. The photograph was actually taken one busy after- noon on Washington avenue. The stylish hat and modish gown proved deceptive. Photograph No. 2 was surmised to be that of a St. Louis girl tripping towards a department store. It is in fact a picture of Miss Esther Moreland, daughter of Andrew M. More- land, multi-millionaire, of Pittsburg and Newport. Can You Tell From a Glance at These Photographs — By Judging Gowns, Poise and Looks— WHICH IS WHICH? The next photograph, No. 10, was so baffling that no decision could be made as between the gilded boulevards of Newport and the heat-driven downtown thoroughfares of St. Louis. It was a figure which one would not be struck at meeting on Olive street. It was also a figure which one felt would be at home in the New jersey fashion center. The original was Mrs. Samuel Wagstaff of New York and New- port, whose family is not only extremely wealthy but which belongs to the most exclusive circles of American s80- ciety. No. 11 was correctly decided to be the picture of a St. Louis girl, but the society guesser at the riddles of dress was a bit — uncertain about the last photograph, though finally with some hesitation the decree was given in favor of St. Louis. This was also correct. ‘ What is the meaning of this confusion between the daughters and wives of millionares belonging to families whose social positon is the most emi- nent and St: Louis girls and women, who may for aught that is known here to be daugh- ters and wives of just plain, everyday business men? Is the democratic doc- sash and the demurely chic hat. As a matter of fact, the wearer was a St. Louis woman, not posed for comparison with the Eastern women whose names are nationally famous, but dressed in her customary street attire. The strangest mistake was made regarding the pic- ture numbered “4,” This was guessed to be a smart young St. Louis matron walking in Forest Park or strolling in one of the West end places on a sunny afternoon. It is really a snapshot of Mrs. Charles de L. Oelrichs, taken at Newport. She is a member of the famous New York family of Oelrichs, whose millions are stag- gering in quantity. The next two pictures were correctly guessed, the first being that of a St. Louis girl and the second that of an Eastern society woman. The latter, No. 6, fis a snapshot gf Mrs. Richard Gambrill of New York and Newport. No. 7 was also correctly surmised to be a Newport girl, the glass held in her hand aiding in the identification. She is Miss Mimi Scott, daughter of Mrs. George S. Scott of New York and Newport. The next picture, No. 8 was, however, mistaken for that of a Newport belle, the modish cos- tume and the refined face aiding the error. This too, was a snapshot of a girlish shopper taken en Washington avenue, | Picture No. 9 reminded the woman interviewed of the St. Louis girls who can be seen in throngs every morning on the tennis courts in Forest Park, with their jackets, linen suits, white slippers and outing hats. Ia reality, it is a photograph of Miss Greta Moreland of Pittsburg and Newport, a sister of Miss Ketber Moreland, who is the subject of tl:e second picture. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS pe.

But today dress suits have reduced all men to a level, and the millionaire and the clerk stand on an equality of black and white at the most formal functions, On the street a barber or a baseball player may be even more modishly attired than the son of a railroad mag- nate. The same democracy is now invading woman's clothes to the extent that it may be said that they all, Newport belle and St. Lofis shopper, “look alike.” Is the reason this—that woman's campaign for the ballot and her new interest in politics inoculated her with the doctrine that all women are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among them the pursuit of life, libe erty aud dress’? According to St. Louis women, it is not this miracle which has happened, The truth, they say, is that the present-day styles peculiarly lend themselves te adaptation to even an humble purse. “There is such a scantiness of material in stylish dresses today,” said one well-known so- ciety woman, “that for $5 or $6 any girl can buy enough stuff to furnish out the most modish of gowns. “The dresses are only tworplece affairs, and the great economy of material te & the skirt.

ANSAS won the heat championship during the summer now waning. Weather Bureau reports showed temperatures above 100 degrees at several points for many days in succession. Something the bureau did not report was the destructive effect of the sun’s rays in starting fires. More than a hun- dred fires were reported to the State Fire Marshal during the heated spell as having been set by the sun. This is official, and therefore should be believed by incredulous persons who find it difficult to imagine sun-heat hot enough to start a fire. Many of the fires occasioned by sun-heat caused no appreciable damage, but about a dozen of them resulted in property losses. Other fires caught in the dry pasture grass or stubble fields and burned themselves out without . | Oklahoma Heat Hatches Ch cken LSO, it was hot in Oklahoma. When E. Smith, a commission man at Okla- homa City, received one August day a crate of eggs from Reeding, Okla., by freight, three chickens hopped out of the crate. They had been hatched en route. One of the chicks died, but the others promise to become lively eacklers. For hatching chickens a. uniform heat of approximately 103 degrees for twenty- one days is required: On the farm of Nick Schlick, near Westphalia, a giass egg used as a nest egg in his aenhou.. caused the loss of the entire henhouse and tw: or three hens. There was straw in wooden boxe along the sides of the henhouse and in each of t! divisions there was a glass egg. One of the ege was in such position that shortly after noon on day the rays of the sun, shining through a crac ir the wall. hit the egg and soon had the straw burning.

The State has had three un- usual drouth years— in 1854, in 1874, when the grasshoppers came, and in 1913. There are points in Kansas which did uot have a single shower of rain for 70 days and there Was not a good rain anywhere iu the State for 90 days. Early in rivers were on a rampage and higher than for many years. The Neosho did not flow a single drop for nearly two weeks, except close to springs in its bed, ahd soon the tiny stream would trickle out and it might be rods before another flowing place could be found. Many small streams that have not about the farm knew there was a henhouse was in flames, On the farm of J. A. Mann, in Clay County, a lantern globe had been broken. A small boy picked up a piece of this globe and threw it out into the. adjoin- ing wheat field. Tue glass fragment sailed away gracefully and not one. expected trouble from it. Early in August the stun shin- ing on that piece of glass set fire to the stubble field. Before the blaze could be put out it had burned down two wheat stack@ and destroyed about $500 worth of wheat. A piece of mirror that had been thrown away set fire to some grass in the yard of J. B. Crow, near Kinsley, and the fire crept up and caugoat in his rouse.

The heaviest loss from the sun fires was that of the cattle barns at the State Fair Grounds at Hutchinson. Fine, big barns had been erected recently on the new grounds given to the State. The berns cost more than $20,000. The rays of the sun ehining through the skylight set fire to straw piled in some of the stalls. Before the ° tive was ciscovered it had gained such headway ; that practically the entire ‘barns were destroyed. Tt is supposed that there was a part of the glass in the skylight that happened to be in such position that it picked up the rays of the sun and ‘tonces- trated them on « spot of straw and soon had the straw blazing. Every smal! boy has had, or seen, the micro- scopes of other school childrén, or even home- madé sun burners, by which a piece of paper could be set burning in a few minutes.

The rays of the sun set fire to the same grass or weeds that had worn the pol'shed surface on the wires. These fires did no seiious damage. A track worker on the Missouri Pacific- Rail- road, near Council Grove, had a can of sardines for his lunch one day.

She is the prime attraction of the notorious music hall known to all the world as the headquar- ters of Parisian au- dacity. Night after night her exquisitely graceful postures, aflame with the spirit of the Orient, are rapturously applauded by audiences whom the most spectacular flight of the Russians, or the boldest gyrations of imported Nautch girls, had left cold. The blazing electric sign over the portals of the Folics announces her as Nila Devi, a name from the Sanscrit suggested by Edmund Russe!!. and meaning “Blue Goddess.” Back home in Boston she is Regina Jones. And while the artless sprite waves and fluttere through her 20 minutes of sensational fantasies, there sits in the wings a sweet-faced, middle-aged New England woman of the sewing circle type, knitting sedulously. She is Nila Devi’s mother. There is another phase to Mother Jones’ devo- tion. She is her child’s manager. It is she who from the first has fixed the rates the managers must pay for the display of Regina’s tempestuous temperament. This bank account, which swells nightly, is in her name and she is Cerberus bott of the checkbook and of her daughter.

So to the British metropolis went she and ap- peared before Leslie Stuart, autbor of ‘“Florc- dora” and Henry Burcher, factor of the girl gar- den called the Gayety. The try-out was phenom- enally successful. The performance amounted to genius, these experts declared. The combination of seraph, Maenad and Nautch was irresistible, but would London stand for it? They recommended Paris, and thither the child and her mother repaired, armed with letters that brought them into the sanctum of the blase-cater- ers to Parisian sensation. Quite admirable, was the verdict, followed by the suggestion that it might be well for the Joneses to visit Algiers, which was‘not only the vestibule to Parisian at- tention, but where Miss Regina might enrich the variety of her gyrations by a study of Oriental dancers.

Krom Prussia to Bavaria and from Baden to Sax- ony, they are springing up now on one hillside and now on another. Usually they flourish, at- tracting all sorts and conditions of spectators from the country folk for miles around through the townsfolk of the neighboring cities up—or down—to the mere summer folk who happen to be passing that way. | . Soon special trains became necessary to bring this variegated throng to the Naturtheater” each Sunday afternoon and the roads converging upon it are doubly dusty with the motor cars. Usu- ally, the performances begin in May and continue on every Sunday and every holiday until October becomes too cold for them. ‘ All the parts in the chosen play, which is re- peated through an entire summer and usually from year to year, are taken by the villegers. Young men and maidens, old men and children, the middle-aged besides, and even the horses and the cattle of the village have their share as well ia the scenes that demand a crowd or suggest an occasion for homely pageantry.

A hillside. covered with a roof, provides the audi- torium. The stretch of grass, trees and rocks down to which it slopes makes the stage. Upon the stage, the scene painter builds ioughly and simply whatever buildings or suggestions of buildings the play requires, builds them also stoutly and of nearly natural size.

Oman One of the saddest features of police work is dealing with the social evil, with prostitutes and houses of ill fame. In so far as the law gave me power, I always treated the men taken in any raid on these houses precisely as the women were treated. My experience brought me to the vary strong conviction that there ought not to be any toleration by law of the vice. I do not know of any method which will put a complete stop to the evil, but I do know certain things that ought to be done to minimize it. One of these is treating men and women on an exact equality for the same act. Another is the estab- lishment of night courts and of special commis- sions to deal with this special class of cases. Another is that suggested by the Rev. Charles oe Stelzle of the Labor Temple—to publish conspic- uously the name of the owner of any property used for immoral purposes, after said owner has been notified of the use and has failed to prevent it. Another is to prosecute the koepers and backers of brothels, men and women, as relent- lessly and punish them as severely as pickpockets and common thieves. ' circumstances; for, ordinarily, it is necessary to back up the superior charge, and yet it is al- ee small Sunday school. a ae xT a In the c/o urts the [charges were sometimes brought by police officers “I became more distrust of those men, whether business men or lawyers, judges, legislators or executive officers, who seek to make the Constitution a fetish for prevention of the work of social reform, for the pre- vention of work in the interest of those men, women and children on whose be- half we should be at liberty to employ freely every Government agency.’’ They should never be fined; they should be imprisoned. As for the girls, the very young ones and first offenders should be put in charge of pro- bation officers or sent to reformatories, and the large percentage of feeble-minded .girls and of incorrigible’ girls and women should be x f q set than ever in my ee peal sometimes by pri- rate citizens. In the le**>r case we would get 2g insights into twilight phases of New Yo:’ ecessary to be always on our gu ri. Often an accusation would be brought séntant the policeman because he had been guilty of mis- conduct. Much more often the accusation merely ‘meant that the officer had incurred animosity by doing his' duty. I remember one amusing case ‘where the officer was wholly to blame, but had _ pai in entire good faith. - One of the favorite and most demoralizing forms ror gambling in New York was policy playing. The policy slips consisted of papers with three TOWS of figures written on them. The officer in question was a huge pithecoid lout of a creature, ith a wooden face and a receding forehead, and his accuser, whom he had arrested the preceding evening, was a little grig of obviously respectable, and almost incoherent with ss: ~ " . ay eye ron a red-headed man, he anger of the little red-headed man was but ral, for he had just come out from a night rT 1 the station bouse. He had been arrested late ‘the evening on suspicion that he was a policy Daayer, because of the rows of figures on a piece of »er which he had held in his hand, and because ‘at the time of his arrest he had just stepped into entrance of the hall of a tenement house in ender to read by lamplight. The paper was produced in evidence. There were the three rows of figures all right, but, as he accuser explained, hopping up and down with swe and excitement, they were all of them the abers of hymns. He was the superintendent He haa written dovn » hymns for several future services, one un‘er p other, and on the way home was stopping to oe at them, under convenient lamp posts and finally by the light of the lamp in a tenement nse hallway; and it was this conduct which the sagacious man in uniform as “suspi- sent to institutions created for them, and thereby remove from this hideous commerce the articles of commerce. Moreover, the Federal Government must, in ever-increasing measure, proceed against the de- graded promoters of this commercialism, ‘or their activities are interstate and the nation can often deal with them more effectively than the states, although, as public sentiment becomes aroused, nation, state and municipality will a!l co-operate towards the same end of rooting out the traffic. But the prime need is to raise the level of in- dividual morality; and, moreover, to encourage early marriages and a strict sense of reciprocal conjugal obligation. The women who preach late marriages are by just so much making it diffi- cult to better the standard of chastity. As regards the white slave traffic, the men en- gaged in it, and the women too, are far worre criminals than any ordinary murderers can be. For them there is need of such a law as that re- cently adopted in England through the efforts of Arthur Lee, M. P., a law which includes whippinz for the male offenders. There are brutes so low, so infamous, so degraded and. bestial in their cruelty and brutality, that the only way to ect at them is through their skins. Sentimentality on behalf of such men is really almost as unhealthy and wicked as the criminality of the men them- selves. But it is a mistake to suppose that either the correction of these economic conditions or the abolition of the white slave trade will wholly cor- rect the evil or will even reach the major part of it The economic factor is very far from being the chief factor in inducing girls to go into this dreadful life. As with so many other problems, while there must be fe'vernmental action, there must also be strengthening of the average indi- vidual character in order to\achieve the desired end. Even where economic conditions are bad, girls who are both strong and pure will remain unaf- SUNDAY MAGAZINE--ST.

Any man who knows the wide variations in the proportions of the different races and nationalities engag- ed in prostitution must come to the conclusion that it is out of the question to treat economic conditions as_ the S sa sole conditions or even as the chief conditions that determine this question. In every race there are some naturally vicious individuals and some weak individuals who read- ily succumb under economic pressure. A girl who is lazy and hates hard work, a girl whose mind is rather feeble, who is of “subnormal intelli- gence,” as the phrase now goes, or a girl who craves cheap finery and vapid pleasure, is always in danger. A high ideal of personal purity is essential. Where the same pressure under the same eco- nomic condition has tenfold the effect on one set of people that it has on another, it is evident that the question of moral standards is even more important than the question of economic stand- ards, very important, though this question is. ea “SE Any ORs ER, wy decency and _ comfort. The midnight trips that Riis and I took en abled me to see what the police department was doing, and also gave me personal insight into some of the problems of city life. It is one thing to listen in perfunctory fashion to tales of over- crowded tenements, and it is quite another ac- tually to see what that overcrowding means, some hot summer night, by even a single inspection during the hours of darkness. There was a very hot spell one midsummer while I was Police Commissioner, and most of each night I spent walking through the tenement- house districts and visiting police stations. to see what was being done. It was a tragic week. We did everything pos- sible to alleviate the suffering. Much of it was heartbreaking, especially the gasping misery of the little children and of the worn-out mothers. Every. resource of the health department, of the police department and even the fire department (which flooded the hot streets) was taxed in the effort to render service. The heat killed such multitudes of horses that the means at our disposal for removing the poor dead beasts proved It is important for us to remember that the girl ought to have a chance, not only for the necessaries of life, but for innocent pleasure; and that even more than the man she must not be broken by overwork, by excessive toil. More- over, public opinion and 4 tions.’’ ‘‘My experience in the Police Depart- ment taught me that not a few of the worst tenement houses were owned by wealthy individuals, who hired the best and most expensive lawyers to persuade the courts that it was ‘unconstitutional’ to insist on the betterment of condi- } quite inadequate, al- though every nerve was strained to the limit. In consequenge we re- ceived scores of com- plaints from persons before whose doors dead horses had re- mained, festering .in the heat for two or ~—e/# three days. the law should combine ‘4 to hunt down the “flagrant man swine” who him- self hunts down poor or silly or unprotected girls. But we must not, in foolish sentimentality, excuse the girl from her duty to keep herself pure, Our duty to achieve the same moral level for the two sexes must be performed by raising the level for the man, not by lowering it for the woman; and the fact that society must recognize its duty in no shape or way relieves, not even to the smal!- est degree, the individual from doing his or her duty. Sentimentality which grows maudlin on behalf of the willful prostitute is a curse; to confound her with the entrapped or coerced girl, the real white slave, is both foolish and wicked. There are evil women just as there are evil men, natural- ly depraved girls just as there are naturally de- praved young men; and the right and wise thing, the just thing, to them and the generous thing to innocent girls and decent men, is to wage stern war against the evil creatures of both sexes. In company with Jacob Riis, I did much work that was not connected with the actual discipline of the force. There was one thing which he and I abolished—police lodging houses, which were simply tramp lodging houses, and a fruitful en- ’ tional. One irascible man sent us furious denuncia- tions, until we were at last able to send a biz dray to drag away the horse that lay dead be- fore his shop door. The huge dray already con- tained 11 other dead horses, and when it reached this particular door it broke down, and it was hours before it could be moved. The unfortunate man who had thus been cursed with a granted wish closed his dors in despair and wrote us a final pathetic letter {n which he requested us to remove either the horses or his shop, he didn’t care which.

These business men and lawyers were adroit in using a word with fine and noble asso- clations to cloak their opposition to vitally neces- sary movements for industrial fair play and de- aaury. They made it evident that thev valued the very “* { Theodore Roosevelt and children of the tenement. couragement to vagrancy. Those who. read Riis’ story of his own life will remember the m1- cidents that gave him, from actual personal experience, his horror of these tramp _ lodg- ing houses. As member of the Health Board I was brought into very close relations with the conditions of life in the tenement-house districts. Here again I used to visit the different tenement-house re- gions, usually in company with Riis, to see for myself what the conditions were. It was largely this personal experience that enabled me while on the Health Board to struggle not only zea!- ously, but with reasonable efficiency and success to improve conditions. We did our share tn mak- ing forward strides in the matter of housing the working veople of the city with some regard to Mr. Constitution, not as a help to righteousness, but as a means for thwarting movements against un- righteousnegs. After my experience with them I became more set than ever in my distrust of those men, wheth- er business men or lawyers, judges, legislators or executive officers, who seek“to make the Constitu- tion a fetish for the prevention of the work of so- cial reform, for the prevention of work in the interest of those men. women and children on whose behalf we should be at liberty to employ every governmental agency. Occasionally during the two years we had to put a stop to riotous violence, and now and then on these occasions some of the labor union lead- ers protested against the actions of the police. By this time I was becoming a strong believer tn -SEPTEMBER 7, 1913. freely office adminis labor. For that very reason I was all the more bound to see that lawlessness and disorder were put down, and that no rioter was permitted to masquerade under the guise of being a friend or a sympathizer with labor. I was scrupulous to see that the labor men had fair play; that, for instance, they were allowed to picket just so far as under the law picketing could be permitted, so that the strikers had ample opportunity peacefully to persuade other labor men not td take their places. But I made it clearly and definitely understood that under no circum- stances would I permit violence or fail to insist upon the keeping of order.

But I made it clearly and definitely un- derstood that under no circumstances would I permit violence or fail to insist upon the keeping of the law, ‘3 os os ; naturally with much more appreciation of the work that was to be done in the Navy Depart- ment. This letter I quote, with his permission, because it conveys a lesson to those who are inclined always to think that the conditions of the present time are very bad. It was written July 7, 1897. Mr. Bryce spoke of the pos- sibility of coming to America in a month or so, and continued: “IT hope I may have a chence of seeing you if I do come over, and of drawing some comfort from you as regards your political phenomena, which, so far as I can gather from those of your coun- trymen I have lately seen, furnish some good op- portunities for a persistent optimist like myself to show that he is not to be lightly discotraged. Don't suppose that thinss are specially ‘nice,’ as a lady would say, in Etrope either. They are not.” Mr. Bryce was a very friendly and competent observer of things American; and there was this distinct note of discouragement about our future in the intimate letter he was thus sending. Yet this was at the very time when the United} States was entering on a dozen years during which our people accomplished more good, and came ‘ nearer realizing the possibilities of a great, free heart in striving to have them corrected. But where there was violence all other questions had to drop until order was restored. This is a dempoc- racy, and the people have the power, if they choose to exercise it, to make conditions as they ought to be made, and to do this strictly within the law: and therefore the first duty of the true democrat, and of the man really loyal to the principles of popular government, is to see that law is enforced and order upheld. It was a peculiar gratification to me that) so many of the labor leaders with whom I was thrown in contact grew cordially to accept this view. When I left the department, several called upon me to say how sorry they were that I was not to continue in office. One, the secretary of the Journeyman Bakers’ and Confectioners’ In- ternational Union, Henry Weismann, wrote me expressing his regret that I was going, and his ap- preciation as a citizen of what I had done as Police Commissioner; he added: “Tl am particularly grateful for your liberal at- titude toward organized labor, your cordial cham- pionship of those speaking in behalf of the toilers and your evident desire to do the right thing as you saw it, at whatever cost.” Some of the letters I received on leaving the ment were from unexpected sources. Mr. E, L. an editor who in international matters was not a patri- otic man, wrote protesting against my taking sistant secretaryship of the navy, and adding: “T ha@e a concern, as the Quakers say, to put on record my earnest belief that in New York you are doing the greatest work of which any American today) is capable, and conscientious democracy, than during any other dozen years in our history, save only the ‘years of Lincoln’s presidency and the period during which the nation was founded. Chinese Resume Native Dress. HORTLY after the revolution of 1911-12 S there was a marked tendency among the middle and better classes of Chinese to, adopt European dres:. Most of them who could afford to do so made the change, but the bulk o; the people—laborers, artisans and small shop- keepers—could not afford it. However, there was quite a large demand for } all sorts of forcign ‘wcering apparel. Lately, how- ever, a reaction has set in and it is declared that of those who adopted ...eign dress last year perhaps 60 per cent have gone back to native clothing. Silk, which declined greatly in price about a year ago, has lately risen*agair. by '20 per cent, which in itself shows that the demand for native clothing is increasing. As regard the shirt and coller business, the Chinese generally wear tailor-made shirts. Thin material for these costs 25 tu 40 cents gold per shirt and making up 30 cents. Plannelette ma- terial costs ~ bout 70 cents per shirt. A few white | linen starched shirts are sold at about §1 to $1.50 each, but this fs to fill the Mmited foreign de- mand.

And yet, by Sunday the fascination of all these diversions seemed to have palled. | Perhaps the members of the party had grown tired of doing over and over again the familiar things they had done at every house party at every other week’s end during the summer.

As fast as one failed, he or she had to thé “prison pen” until some luckier one came through safely and took one of them out for another chance.

What must she do to relieve the situation? _ Among the guests was a bright and engaging young Frenchman of good family, who had been studying architecture with her second son at the Beaux Arts in Paris, and who' was spending the summer in America looking over our archi- tecture. As he sat smiling at the listless groups she took him aside and confided her perplexity. “What shall I do with al) these dull people?” she asked. “What would your mother do with them if ehe had such a crowd at her chateau?” “Madame,” he answered, “she’’ start them off playing games.

At once the Frenchman approached a rather sleepy crowd of boys and girls with whom he had been playing tennis and suggested that he wanted them to try a game that all the smart young people he knew fn Parie were having great fun over. Through bis pleasant manners Monsieur X. had already become a favorite with the members of the party. Glad of the diversion, they arose and demanded in chorus: “What do you want us to do?” “Come out on the lawn firet,’’ he invited. He ranged the young people in twos, one in front of the other, in a large circle, with a space of 10 yards between the couples. Then a man and a girl were deputed to be “cat” and “mouse.”’ “The cat chases the mouse,” he explained, “but if he gets near her, and she is about to fall into hig hands, all she has to do is to stand in front of any of you couples. Then the one at the rear becomes mouse and is straightway chased by the cat. He or she finds rescue im the same way, by jumping in front of another couple, and the game goes on until the cat tags a mouse, who thereupon becomes cat.” At once the game began—e little slowly at first. The cat circled after the mouse, who happened to be a fleet young woman With cood lungs. Finally she dropped breathless in front of one of the pairs, and the cat had a new quarry. But the girl whose turn 80 Suddenly came to “be a mouse jumped across the intervening space and stood in front of a young msn. “Ha!” laughed the young Frenchman. you know how to escape—you've made Monsieur “T gee e™ a pansy, a lily, a bachelor’s button, a sprig of phlox, a zinnia, a marigold, a geranium and what not.

The giggling crowd made lots plained the Frenchman. side to face them and make any remarks they please. Indeed, it is their business to disconcert their opponents and make them smile or move if possible—of course, without touching them.” So they began. The frist lecturer was a bright young man and he talked so pleasantly and so humorously that he spoiled his own side’s chances —his own statues couldn't J help snickering. “George Washington” broke out into a guffaw before he had heard the discourse about himeelf more than ten seconds, and “Joan of Arc” started giggling the moment it was her turn. “Nero” grinned as he fiddled for a mythical Roman con- flagration, and only “Shakspeare” kept a stiff upper lip.

When they were all tired) and panting, the Frenchman, whe ‘was master of ceremonies and (Person blindfolded must identify Frenchman suggested “Badminton,” if the hos- tess had any shuttle- cocks. Certainly she had—e dozen of them in the nursery of which the kiddies had long tired. “Then with the tennis nets and the racquets we have enough implements for the game, which some of you know, of course. Oh, yes, some of them had played it in town during the winter, but they had never tried it out of doors. “You'll find it restful and pleasant after a hard day,” explained the young Parisian, “when you've tired of tennis.” They rigged up the nets shoulder high between the trees and played the game precisely as one plays tennis, except that instead of a ball the shuttle-cock is used. It was great fun, because even the tired young women who bad given out at tennis could bat away at the shuttle-cock as It sped back and forth over the net. Next morning the hostess sent for wicker baskets from the sewing room, and Monsieur X. started to explain his game of “fill the nests.” He set the baskets on top of the high wall which separated the garage from the lawn, al) in a row, and the game was to toss up a tennis bail into each basket. beginning on the left of the line of the baskets. “You have to drop out when you miss a bas- ket,” called out Monsieur: and when all had tried these wasn't a soyl left. So they began again. Again everybody fatled, one or two just by the shadow of a shade. But at last one of the clever tennis girls got the hang of the thing and along beside the wall she walked, tossing a ball each time plump into the basket and winning the prize which the hostess had hurriedly hunted ocut—e five-pound box of bonbons. When all had their share of the goodies, they voted the game @ good one, while the white- capped maid laid two mysterious packages on a wicker table and the gardener wheeled up a ber- row full of al) sorts of things—croquet mallets, SUNDAY MAS:AZINE—ST.

They danced around her, twitting her the while for being so old and so ugly—oh, the wickedness of it!—until she caught one of the wickedest, another girl, who had to join the “witch” within the cirele. It was lunch time now, but nobody was tired— the fun had been so diverting. “Gymkhana for prizes this afternoon,” was the | s Frenchman's last word as they scuttled off to their rooms to tidy up a bit before joining their hostess In the dining room. “Splendid!” rejoined everybody, for they guessed what was coming, and they knew the mistress of the mansion would surely have a lot of dainty prizes for them to win. There were spoon-and-egg races, thread-and- needle races, 100 yards while carrying a brifuming glass of water, potato reces, hat trimming con- tests for the men and pencil sharpening events for the girls and lots more.

LLAN QUATERMAIN, son of a Church of England clergy- man, in Cape Colony, when a boy meets Marie Marais daughter of a French-Boer, at Maraisfontein, where he is instructed in French by Leblanc, a drunkard. a Kaffir and the natives attack Maraisfontein. Hans, Hottentot servant, warns Allan in time, and he and Marie, with servants, repulse the aatives until help arrives. Marais loses his stock and decides to go into the jungle to find a new home. Hernande Pereira, a rich relative of Marais, falls in tove with Marie, who is in. love with lan. In a shooting match, Hernan, by trickery, prevents Allan from winning. arais objects to the match between Marie and Allan because Allan is an English- man, After the Maraisses have gone into a new land, Alla: learns they are starving, goes to them and saves them. Hernan having lost iis wealth in gold in the move into the wilderness, has deserted the camp. Hernan is lost in tne woods and Allan finds him near death and restores him to the camp. Allan escorts Hernan out of the camp and a Shot is fired in the dark, the bullet grazing Allar’s cheek. He charges Hernan with having tried to murder him and reports the occurrence to the Marais camp. Allan then leads the Marais followers toward a new Boer settlement. On the way King Dingaan of the Zulus, having been informed by Hernan that Allan is a terrible man and will kill ‘them unless he is killed first, stops the Boers lied by Allan, Dignaan in- forms him that as he is an Englishman he will spare him and the Boers with him if he can shoot three out of five vultures on the wing Allan by his expert shooting saves his white companions. He leads his Boers on towards the Tugela River. He comes upon Piet Retief, Boer leader. Allan has agreed with Marais to wait: until Marie is 18 for their marriage, which Marais op- poses and the day is near. Retief promises to perform the ceremony, and then Allan is to guide them on an expe- dition to the Zulu king’s land for the making of a treaty. Allan and Marie are. married. Marais and Hernan leave camp together. The expedition to Dingaan’s capital begins. By a Zulu ruse Allan is captured without the knowledges of the Boers and bound and gagged. A who carried an assegail, came up to me and whis- pered: “‘Hearken, CHAPTER XIX—DEPART IN PEACE. TALL Kaffir, one of the King’s household guards, little Son of George. The King would because you are not Dutch, but save you, if he can, English. Yet, know that if you try to cry out, if you even struggle, you die.” Now I understood, and a cold sweat broke out all me. My companions Were to be murdered, every Oh! gladly would I have given my life to warn them. But alas!-.1 could not, for the cloth upon my mouth was so thick that no sound could pass it Presently, amidst a hideous tumult of shouts, groans, curses, prayers for mercy, and Zulu battle cries, the Boers were all struck down—yes, even the two little lads and the Hottentot servants. Then they were dragged away, still living, by the soldiers, their heels trailing on the ground, just as wounded worms or insects are dragged by the black ants. If I were going to be killed, I was going to be killed, and there was an end. But my knowledge of Dingaan told me that he had not. massacred Retief and his com- panions for nothing. This would be but the prelude to a larger slaughter, for I had not forgotten what he said as to the sparing of Marie and the other hints he gave me._ From all this I concluded, quite rightly as it proved, that.some general onslaught was being made upon the Boers, who probably would be swept out to the last man. And to think that here I was, a prisoner in a Kaffir kraal, with only a young woman as a jailer, and yet utterly unable to escape to warn them. For round my hut lay a courtyard, and round it again ran Whenever I looked over this fence, by night or by day, I saw soldiers stationed at intervals of about fifteen yards. There they stood like statues, their broad spears in their hands, all looking inwards towards the fence. There over one! Leblanc kills SPATCH FICTION SECTION “The last thing | remember was Marie Looking at me with her beautiful eyes.”’. that if I tried to ride away from the escort certainly be killed, since even had been given throughout the land I should if I escaped them, orders to put an end to had been well fed and cared for. ; I saddled it and mounted. As I did so, he warned me out that they were traitors to their chief, and therefore Fiction Section- -St. Louis Post-Dispatch- September 7, 1913. they stood—only at night their number was doubled. A week went by. Then one morning Kambula led me, kraal Umgungundhlovu, but around it. Our road lay immediately past the death mount, Hioma Amabutu, where the vultures were still gathered in great numbers. Indeed, it was actually my lot to walk over the new- picked bones of some of my companions who had been dispatched at the faot of the hill. Turning my eyes from this dreadful sight, I saw that on the opposite slope, where we had camped during our’ southern trek from Delagoa, still stood the huts and wagons of the Reverend Mr. Owen. I asked Kam- bula whether he and his people were also dead. “No, Inkoos,” he answered; “they are of the Children of George, as you are, and therefore the King has spared them, although he is going to send them out of the country.” This was good news, so far as it went, and I again if Thomas Halstead had also been spared, he, too, was an Englishman. “No,” said Kambula. “The King wished to save him, but he killed two of our people and was dragged off with not through the asked since the rest. When the slayers got to their work it was too late to stay their hands.” Again I asked whether I might not join Mr Owen end trek with him, to which Kambula answered briefly: “No, Macumazahn; the King’s orders are that you must go by yourself.” So I went; nor did I ever again meet Mr. Owen or any of his people. I believe, however, that they reached Purban safely and sailed away in a ship called the Comet. In a little while we came to the two milk trees by the main gate of the kraal, whére much of our saddlery still lay scattered about, though the guns had gone. Here Kambula asked me if I could recognize my own saddle. “There it is,” I answered, pointing to it; is the use of a saddle without a horse?” “The horse you rode has been kept for you, Macuma- gahn,”’. he replied. out a mile further on I found one of my horses teth@red by an outlying guard hut, and noted that it By Kambula’s leave “but what me should I be seen alone. For four full days we journeyed thus, Keeping, so far as I could judge, about 20 or 320 miles to the east of that road by which I had left Zululand before and reentered it with Retief and his commission. Evidently I was an object of Sreat interest to the Zulus of the country through which we passed, perhaps because they knew me to be the sele survivor of all the white men who had gone up to visit the King. They would down in crowds from the kraals and stare at me almost with awe. as though I were a spirit and not a man. It was on the evening of the fourth day that Kam- bula and his soldiers received some news which seemed to excite them a great deal. A messenger in a state of exhaustion, who had an injury to the fleshy part of his left arm, which looked to me as though it had been caused by a bullet, appeared out of the bush and said something of which,,by straining my ears, I caught two words—“Great slaughter.’ Then Kambula laid his fin- gers on his lips as a signal for silence and led the man nor did I see or hear any more of him. After- wards I asked. Kambula. who had suffered this great slaughter, whereon he stared at me innocently and re- plied that he did not know of what I was speaking. come away, “What is the use of lying to me, Kambula, seeing that I shall find out the truth before long”’ “Then, Macumazahn, wait till you do find it out, and may it please you,” he replied, and went off to speak with his people at a distance. All that night I heard them talking who lay hwake plunged into new miseries that some other dreadful thing had happened. off and on—lI l was sure Probably and, if Dingaan’s armies had destroyed all the Boers, so, oh! what had become of Marie? Was she dead, or had she perhaps been taken prisoner, as Vingaan had told me would be done for his own vile purposes’? For aught I knew she might now be traveling under escort to Umgungundhlovu, as I was traveling to Natal. The morning came at last, and that day, about noon, we reached a ford of the Tugela, which luckily was quite passable. Here Kambula bade me farewell, saying that his mission was finished. Also he delivered to me a message that I was to give from Dingaan to the English in Natal. It was to this effect: That he, Dingaan, had killed the Boers who came to visit him because he found not worthy to live. But that he loved the Sons of George, who were true-hearted people, and therefore had nothing to fear from him. Indeed, he begged then to come and see him at the Great Place, where he would talk matters over with them. [ said that I would deliver the message if I met any I;nglish people, but, of course, I could not say whether they would accept @ingaan’s invitation to Umgun- gundhiovu. Then, before Kambula had time to take I shook his outstretched hand and urged my the stream. I never met Kambula again living, after the battle of Blood River I saw him dead. Once over the Tugela I rode forward for half a mile or so till I was clear of the bush and reeds that grew down to the water, fearing lest the Zulus should follow and take me back to Dingaan. Seeing no signs of them, I halted, a desolate creature in a desolate coun- try which I did not know, wondering what I should do and whither I should ride Then it was that there hap- pened one of the strangest experiences of all my adven- turous life, As I sat dejectedly upon my horse, which was also dejected, amidst some tumbled rocks that at a distant period in the world's history had formed the bank of the great river, I heard a voice which seemed familiar to me say: “Baas, is that you, any offense, horse into though Baas?” The next moment my horse snorted and shied yvio- lently, and no wonder, for out of a great ant-bear hole not five paces away appeared a yellow face crowned with black wool, in which was set @ broken feather. I looked at the face and the face looked at me. “Hans,” I said, “is it you? I thought that you were killed with the others.” “And I thought that you were killed with the others, Baas. Are you sure that you are alive”’ “What are you doing there?” “Hiding from the Zulus, Baas. I heard them on the other bank, and then saw a man on a horse crossing the river, and went to ground like a jackal. I have had enough of Zulus.”’ ' He emerged, a thin and bedraggled creature, with nothing left on him but the upper part of a pair of olf trousers, but still Hans, undo.'’’“*edly Hans. “Oh, Baas, to think that I should find you who were dead, alive, and find myself alive, too.” As it chanced, in my saddle-bags I had some biltong that I had saved against emergencies. 1 gave it to him Bs : vy SEs : ig are me. wf e* us SOS MR os sy. e -_ neg — be ny 8 We a ge et eg Ss edie. \ hina etiam tk Sag a eee any 4s , eee ee ee ee eo ee ee ee | — en 6 re CEP OREO tren Seth 2 SP Ree > tage EP gr 9d Che Re Oren yw TR Epo BUREN non. 5 Weta ictne >) al §hedon oe I eT an | ll ere ee 2 i i le Meal ae et red a = Seren —, eth » a* “ 4 7 ks r 4 it he » TYE : Sow aed a aie i ee ~ eee 4 a PS eae Be” eae a apele indindihiciniiehte sii

All night I ran, and in the morning hid up in a hole. Then when night came again I went on running. Oh! they nearly caught me once or twice, but never quite, for I know how to hide, and I kept where men do not go. Only I was hungry, hungry; yes, I lived on snails and worms, and grass like an ox, till my middle ached. Still, at last I got across the river and near to the camp. “Then just before the day broke and I was saying. ‘Now, Hans, although your heart is sad, your stomac™® devils, thousands of them, rush down on the camp and kill-all the poor Boers.

Marie there?” “Baas, how can I tell, who never went into it? But the wagon she slept in was not there; no, nor that of the Vrouw Prinsloo of gf the Heer Meyer.” “Thank God!" I gasped. “Where. were you trying to get to, Hans, when you ran away from the camp?’ “Baas, I thought perhaps that the Missie and the Prinsioos and the Meyers had gone to that fine form which you pegged out, and that I would go and see if they we.a there. Becat'se if so, I was sure that they would be glad to know that you were really deai, and give me some fvcod in payment for my news. But i was afraid to walk across the open veld for fear lest the Therefore I came round through the-thick bush along the river, where one tan only travel’ slowly, especially if hellow,” and he patted. his wasted stomach. 9 “But, Hans,” I asked, “are we near my. farm where j set the men to build the houses on the hill above the vver?”. ce “Of course, Baas. Has your brain gone soft that yQqu zannot find your way about tne veld? Four. or at most ve, heurs on horseback, riding slow, and you are ‘here.”’ ge “Come on, Hans,” I said, “and be quick, for I think that the Zulus are not far behind.” So we started, Hans hanging to my stirrup and guid- ing- me, for I knew well enough that although he had never travelled this road, his instinct for locality would not betray a colored man, who can find his way across the pathless veld as surely as a buck or a@ bird of. the On we went over the relling plain, and as we travelled I told him my story, briefly enough, for my mind was too' torn with fears to allow me to talk much. He, too, fold, me more of his escape and adventures. Ndw I un- derstood what was that news which had so excited Kambula and his soldiers. It was evident that the Zulu impis had destroyed a great number of the Boers whom they found unprepared for attack, and then had been driven off by reinforcements that arrived from other camps. That was why I had been kept prisoner for all those days. Dingaan feared lest I should reach Natal in time to warn his victims! CHAPTER XX.—THE COURT MARTIAL. NE hour, two hours, three nours, and then sud- ©) -denly from the top of a rise the sight of the * beautiful Moori River winding through the plain like a vast snake of silver, and there, in a loop of it, the; flat-crested koppie on which I had hoped to make my home. The gorgeous sunset was finished and the sky had grown gray with night before we reached the foot of the koppie. Yet the last rays of the sinking orb had shown mé something as they died. There on the slope of the hill stood some mud and wattle houses, such as I had ordered to be built, and near to them several white- capped wagons. Only I did not see any smoke rising from those houses as there should have been at this hour of the day, when men cooked their evening food. I could bear it no longer. “Hans,” I said, “do you stay here with the horse. I will creep to the houses and see if any dwell there.” “Be careful, baas,” he answered, “lest you should find Zulus, for those black devils are all about.” I nodded, for I could not speak, and then began the ascent. For several hundred yards I crept from stone to stone; feeling my way, for the Kaffir path that led to the little plateau where the spring was, above which the shanties stood, ran at the other end of the hill. I struck the spruit or rivulet that was fed by this spring, being guided to it by the murmur of the water, and fol- lowed up its bank till I heard a sound which caused me to crouch and listen. I could not be sure because of the ceaseless babble of the brook, but the sound seemed like that of sobs. While I waited the great moon appeared suddenly above a bank of inky cloud, flooding the place with light, and oh! by that light, looking more ethereal than woman I saw—I saw Marie! “ She stood not five paces from me, by the side of the stream, whither she had come to draw water, for she held. a vessel] in her hand. She was clothed in some kind of a black garment, such as widows wear, but made o* rough stuff, and above it her face showed white in the white rays of the moon. Gazing at her from the shadow, I could even see the tears running down her cheeks, for it was she who wept in this lonely place, wept for one who would return to more. My voice choked in my throat; I could not utter a single word. Rising, from behind a rock I moved to- wards her. She saw me and started, then said in a thrilling whisper: “Oh! husband, has God sent you to call me? I am ready, husband, I am ready!” and she stretched out her arms wildly, letting fall the Vessel, that clanked upon the ground. “Marie! 1 gasped at length; and at that word the Beh tgs a?

Was the Missie _ment Seat of God; nor will I do so.” blood rushed to her face ané brow, and I saw hes draw in her breath ag though to scream. “Hush!” -I whispered. “It ig I, Allan, who has es- caped alive.” The next thing I remember was that she lay in my arms. ; “What has happened here?” I asked when I had told my tale, or some of it. “Nothing, ANan,” she answered. .“I received your letter at the camp, and we trekked away as you bade us, without telling the others why, because you re- member the Commandant Retief wrote to us not to do ». So we were eut of the great slaughter, for the Zulus did not know where we had gone, and never followed us here, although I have’ heard that they sought for me. My father and my cousin Hernan only arrived at the camp two days after the attack, and discovering or guessing our hiding place—I know not which—rode on hither. They say they came to warn the Boers to be careful, for they did not trust Dingaan, but were too late. So they, too, were out of the slaughter, for, Allan, many, many have been killed—they say five or six hundred, most of them women and children. But thank God! many more escaped, since the men came in from the other camps farther off and from their shooting parties, and drove away the Zulus, killing them by scores.” “Are your father and Pereira here now” I asked. “No, Allan. They learne@ of the massacre and that the Zulus were all gone yesterday morning. Also they got the bad news that Retief and everyone with him had been killed at Dingaan’s town, it is said through the treachery of the English, who arranged with Dingaan that he should kill them.” “That i> false,” I said; “but go on.” “Then, Allan, they came and told me that I was & widow like many other women—I who had never been a wife. Allan, Hernan said that I should not grieve for you, as you deserved your fate, since you had been caught in your own snare, being one of those who had betrayed the Boers. The Vrouw Prinsloo. answered to his face that he lied, and, Allan, I said that I would never speak to him again until we met before the Judgé- “But I will speak to him,” I muttered. “Well, where are they now?’ “They rode this morning back to the other Boers. I think they want to bring a party of them here to settle, if they like this place, as it is so easy to defend. They said they would return tomorrow, and that meanwhile we were quite safe, as they had sure tidings that all the Zulus were back over the Tugela, taking some of their wounded with them, and also the Boer cattle as an of- fering to Dingaan. But come to the house, Allan—our home that I had :aade ready for you as well as I could. Oh! my God! our home on the threshold of which I be- lieved you would never set a foot. Yes, when the mevu rose from that cloud I believed it, and look, they are still quite close together. Hark, what is that?” I listened, and caught the sound of horses’ hoofs stumbling among thé rocks. “Don’t be frightened,” I answered; ‘it is only Hans with my horse. He escaped also; I will.tell you how aftérwards.” And as I spoke he appeared, a woebegone and exhausted object. “Good day, missie,” he said with an attempt at cheer- fulness. ‘“‘Now you should give me a fine dinner, for you see I have brought the baas back safe to you. Did I not tell you, baas, that everything would come right?” Something over two hours had gone by since the moon broke out:'from the clouds. I had greeted the Vrouw Prinsloo and all my other friends, and been received by them with rapture as one risen from the dead. If they had loved me beforer now a new gratitude was added to their love, since had it not been for my warn- ing they also must have made acquaintance with the Zulu spears and perished. It was on their part of the camp that the worst of the attack fell. Indeed, from those wagons hardly anyone escaped. I had told them. all the story, to which they listened in dead silence. Only when it was finished the Heer Meyer, whose natural gloom had been deepened by aH these events, said: “Allemachte! but you have luck, Allan, to be left when everyone else is taken. Now, did I not know you so well, like Hernan Pereira I should think that you and that devil Dingaan had winked at each other.” “How dare you say such words, Carl Meyer?’ the Vrouw Prinsloo exclaimed. “Must Allan always be in- sulted just because he is English, which he cannot help? For my part, I think that if anyone winked at Dingaan it was the stinkcat Pereira. Otherwise why did he come away before the killing and bring that madman, Henri Marais, with him?’ “I don’t Know, I am sure, aunt,” said Meyer humbly “Husband,” said Marie presently, “will you come and see the home that I made ready for you before I thought that you were dead? It is a poor place, but I pray God that we may be happy there,” and she took me by the hand and kissed me once and twice and thrice. q About noon on the following day, when my wife and I was laughing and arguing over some little domestic detail of our meagre establishment—so soon are great griefs forgotten in an overwhelming joy, of a sudden \ saw her face change, and asked what was the matter. “Hist!” she sald, “I hear horses,” and she pointed in a certain direction. I looked, and there, round the corner of the hill, came a body of Boers with their after-riders, thirty- two or three of them in all, of whom 20 were white men. “See,” said Marie, “my father is among my cousin Hernan rides at his side.” It was true. There was Henri Marais, and just be- hind him, talking into his ear, rode Hernan Pereira. I remember that the two of them reminded me of a tale I had read about a man who was curséd with an ‘evil genius that drew him to some dreadful doom in spite ef the promptings of his better nature. The thin, worn, wild-eyed Marais, and the rich-faced, carnal Pereira whispering slyly into his ear; they were exact types of that man in the story and his evil genius who dragged him down to hell. Prompted by some impulse, I threw my arms round Marie and embraced her, saying: “At least we have been very happy for a while.” “What do you mean, Allan?’ “Only that I think our good hours are done with for the present.” “Perhaps,” she answered slowly; “but at least they have been very good hours, and if I should die today ! am glad to have lived to win them.” Then the calvacade of Boers came up. “Why, Mynheer Allan Quatermain,” Hernan Pereira said, “how is it that you are here? How is it that you are still alive? Commandant,” he added, turning to a dark, sad-faced man of about 60 who at that time I did not know, “here is a strange thing. The Heer Quatermain, an Englishman, was with the Gov. Retlef at the town of the Zulu King, as the Heer Henri Marais can testify. Now, as we know for sure Pieter Retief and all his people are dead, murdered by Dingaan, how then does it happen that this man has escaped?” “Why do you put riddles to me, Mynheer Pereira?’ asked the dark Boer. “Doubtless the Englishman will explain.” © them, and Fiction Section- -St. Louis Post-Dispatch--September 7, 1913. —— a ee, | Pram ae oe eee = ~ _ ’>T ae es Poe, AE PES Rite oa Oe “Certainly I will, mynheer,” I said. “Is it your pleasure that I should speak now?” The Commandant hesitated. Then, having called Henri Marais apart and talked t= him for a little while, he replied : % “No, not now, I thimk; the matter is too serious. After we have eaten we will listen te your story, Myn- heer Quatermain, and meanwhile I command you not to leave this place.” ‘Do you mean that I am a prisonex Commandant?’ “If you put it so—yea, Mynheer Quatermain—a prison- er who has to explain how some 60 of our brothers, who were your companions, came to be butchered like beasts in Zululand, while you escaped. Now, no more words; by and by doubtless there will be plenty of them. Here, you, Carloug and Johannes, keep watch upon this En- glishman, of whom I hear strange stories, with your guns loaded, please, and when we send to you, lead him before us.” “As usual, your coustn Hernan brings evil gifts,” I said to Marie bitterly. “Well, let us also eat our dinner, which perhaps the Heeren Carolus and Johannes will do us tne honor to share—bringing their loaded guns with them.” Carolus and Johannes accepted the invitation, anc from them we heard much news, all of it tefrible enough to learn. Shortly after we had finished our meals two armed men arrived and ordered me to follow them. I turned to say some words of farewell to Marie, but she said: “I go where you do, husband.” About 200 yards away, sitting under the shade of one of the wagons, we found the Boers. Six of them were seated in a semicircle upon stools or whatever they could find, the black-browed Commandant being in the center and having in front of him a rough table on which were writing materials. To the left of these six were the Prinsloos and Meyers, being those folk whom I had rescued from Delagoa, and to the right the other Boers who had ridden into the camp that morning. I saw at a glance that a court- martial had been arranged and that the six elders were the judges, the Commandant being the president of the court. . “Allan Quatermain,” said the Commandant, “you ere brought here to be tried by a court martial duly con- stitufed according to the law published in the camps of the emigrant Boers. Do you acknowledge that law?!) _. “I know that there is such a law, Commandant,” I answered, “but I do not acknowledge the authority- of your court martial to try a man who is no Boer, but a subject of the Queen of Great Britain.” ‘We have considered that point, Allan Quatermain,” said the Commandant, “and we disallow it. You will remember that in the camp at Bushman’s River, before -ou rode with the late Pieter Retief to the Chief Sikon- yela, when you were given com.can’ of the Zulus whe went with him, you took an oath to interpret truly und to be fai.hful in all things to the Gen. Retief, to his companions and to his cause. That oath we hold givés this court jurisdiction over you.” “I deny your jurisdiction,” I answered, “although it is true that I took an oath to interpret faithfully, and I request that a note of my denial may be made in writ- ing.” ¥E “It shall be done,” said the Commandant. “The charge against you, Allan Quatermain, is that, being one of the commission who recently visited the Zulu King Dingaan, under command of the late Gov- ernor and Gen. Retief, you did falsely and wickedly urge the said Dingaan to murder the said Peiter Retief and his companions, and especially Henri Marais, your father-in-law, and Hernando Pereira, his nephew, with both of whom you had a quarrel. Further, that after- wards you brought about the said murder, having first arranged with the King of the Zulus that you should be removed to a place of safety while it was done. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?” “Are you mad, Commandant,” I exclaimed, should say such things? On what evidence wicked lie advanced against me?’ “No, Allan Quatermain, I am not mad,” he replied, “al- theugh it is true that) through your evil doings I, who have lost my wife and’three children by the Zulu spears, have suffered enough‘to make me mad. As for the evi- dence against you, y au shall hear it. But first I will write down that you plead not guilty.” He did so, then said: “If you will acknowledge certain things it will. save us all much time, of which at present we have little to spare. Those things are that knowing what was going to happen to the commission, you tried to avoid accom- panying it. Is that true?’ j “No,” I answered. “I knew nothing of what was going to happen to the commission, though I feared something, having but just saved my friends there’— “that you is this and I ‘pointed to the Prinsloos—‘“from death at the hands | of Dingaan. I did not wish to accompany it for another reason: that I had been married on the day of its start- ing to Marie Marais. Still, I went after all because the Gen. Retief, who was my friend, asked me to come, to interpret for him.” Now some of the Boers present said: “That is true. We remember.” “¢ But the Commandant continued: ‘Do you acknowledge that you were on bad with Henri Marais and with Hernan Pereira?” “Yes,” I answered: “because Henri Marais did all in his power to prevent my marriage with his daughter Marie, behaving very ill to me who had saved his life and that of his people who remained to him up by Delagoa, and afterwards at Umgungundhlovu. Because, too, Hernan Pereira strove to rob me of Marie, who loved me. Moreover, although I had saved him when he lay sick to death, he afterwards tried to murder me by shoot- ing me down in a lonely place. Here is the mark of it,” and I touched the little scar upon the side of my fore- head. “That is true; he did so, the stinkcat,” shouted the Vrouw Prinsloo, and was ordered to be silent. “Do you acknowledge,” went on the Commandant, “that you sent to warn your wife and those with her to depart from the camp on the Bushman’s River, because it was going to be attacked, charging them to keep the matter secret, and that afterwards both you and your Hottentot servant alone returned safely from Zululand, where all those who went with you Me dead?” “I acknowledge,” I answered, “that I wrote to tell my wife to come to this place where I had been building houses, a8 you see, and to bring with her any of our companions who cared to trek here, or, failing that, to go alone. This I did because Dingaan had told me, whether in jest or in earnest I did not know, that he had given orders that my said wife should be kidnaped, as he desired to make her one of his women, having thought her beautiful when he saw her. Also what I did was done with the knowledge and-by the wish of the late Gov. Retief, as can be shown by his writing on my letter. I acknowledged also that I escaped when all my brothers were killed, as did the, Hottentot Hans, and if you wish to know 1 will tell you how he escaped and why.” The Commandant made a further note, then he said: terms ‘Let the witness Hernan Pereira be called and sworn.’ As may be imagined, his was a long tale, and one that had evidentlly been prepared with great care. I will only set down its blackest falsehoods.

‘intended attack > yy “ ‘2 court that he had no enmity against me and had never attempted to kill me or do me any harm, although it was true that his heart felt sore because, against her father’s will, I had stolen away the affection of his betrothed, who was now my wife. He said that he had stopped in Zululand because he knew that I should mar- ry her as soon as she came of age, and it was too great pain for him to see this done. He said that while he was there, before the arrival of the commission, Dingaan and some of his captains had told him that I had again -and again urged him, Dinzaan, to kill the Boers because they were traitors to the Sovereign of Engtand, but that he, Dingaan, had refused to do so. He said that when ‘Retief came up with the commission he tried to warn , him against me, but that Retief would not Hsten, being infatuated with me as many others were, and he looked towards the Prinsloos. He said that while he was engaged in mending some guns for Dingaan in one of his private huts, he ‘over- heard a conversation between myself and Dingaan which took place outside the hut, I, of course, not knowing that he was within. The substance of this conversa- tion was that I again urged Dingaan to kill the Boers and afterwards to send an impi to massacre their wives and famil‘es. Only I asked him to give me time to get away a girl whom I had married from among them, and with her a few of my own friends whom I wished should be spared, as I intended to become a kind of chief over them, and if he would grant it me, to hold all the land of Natal under his rule and the protection of the English. To these proposals Dingaan answered that “they seemed wise and good, and that he would think them over very carefully.” Pereira said further that coming out of the hut after Dingaan had gone away he reproached me bitterly for my wickedness, and announced that he would warn the Boers, which he did subsequently by word of mouth and in writing. That thereon I caused him to-be de- tained by the Zulus while I went to Retief and told him some false story about him, Pereira, which caused Retief to drive him out of his camp and give orders that none of the Boers should so much as speak to hit That then he did the only thfmg he could. Going to . his uncle, Henri Marais, he told him, not all the truth, but that he had learnt for certain that his daughter * Marie was in dreadful danger of her life because of some of the Zulus, and that all the Boers among whom she dwelt were also in danger of their lives, Therefore he suggested to Henri Marais that as the , Gen. Retief was besotted and would not listen to his story, the best thing they could do was to ride away and warn the Boers. This then they did secretly, without the knowledge of Retief, but being delayed upon their journey by one accident and another, which he set out _in detail, they only reached the Bushman’s River too late, after the massacre had taken place. Subsequently, ' as the Commandant knew, hearing a rumor that Marie } Marais and other 3oers had trekked to this place before ‘the slaughter, they came here and iearned that they -had done so upon a warning sent to them by Allan Quatermain, whereupon they returned and communicated the news to the surviving Boers at Bushman’s River. _ Then, as I reserved my cross-examinatiom until I ‘heard all the evidence against me, Henri Marais was sworn and corroborated his nephew’s testimony on many - points as to my relations to his daughter, his objection to my marriage to her because I was an Englishman whom he disliked and misirusted, and so forth. He added further that it was true Pereira had told him he had sure information that Marie and the Boers were in danger from an attack upon them which had been arranged between Allan Quatermain and Dingaan; that he also had written to Retief and tried to speak to him but was refused a hearing. Thereon he had ridden away from Umgungundhlovu to try to save his daughter and warn the Boers. That was all he had to say. I cross-examined these two at full length, but abso- - Jutely without result. Then I called my witnesses, Marie, whose evidence they refused to hear on the ground that she was my wife and prejudiced, the Vrouw Prinsloo and her fam- ily, and the Meyers. One and all told a true story of my relations with Hernan Pereira, Henri Marais and Dingaan, so far as they knew them After this, as the Commandant declined to take the evidence of Hans because he was a Hottentot and my servant, I addressed the court, relating exactly what had taken place between me and. Dingaan, and how I and Hans came to escape on our second visit to his kraal. I pointed out also that unhappily for myself 1 could not prove my words, since Dingaan was not avail- able as a witness, and all. the others were dead. Further, I produced my letter to Marie, which was endorsed by Retief, and the letter to Retief signed by “Marais and Pereira which remained fn my possession. By the time that I had finished miy speech the sun was setting and everyone was tired out. I was ordered to withdraw under guard, while the court consulted, . which it did for-a long while. Then I was called for- ‘ ward again and the Commandant said: : “Allan Quatermain, after prayer to God we have con- : sidered this case to the best of our judgment and ability. . On the one hand we note that you are an Englishman, a : member of a race whieh hates and has always oppressed ‘ our people, and that jt was to your interest to get rid of two of them with whom yqu had quarrelled. The evidence of Henri Marais and Hernan Pereira, which we cannot disbelieve, shows that you were wicked enough, either in order to do this, or because of your malice against the Boer people, to plot their destruction with a savage. The result is that some 700 men, women and children have lost their lives in a very cruel man- ner, whereas you, your servant, your wife and your friends have alone escaped unharmed. For such a crime as this a hundred deaths could not pay; indeed, God alone can give to it its just punishment, and to Him it is our duty to send you to be judged. We condemn you to be shot as a traitor and a murderer, and may He have mercy on your soul.” At these dreadful words Marie fell.to the ground fainting and a pause ensued while she was carried off to the Prinsloos’ house, whither the vrouw followed to attend her. Then the Commandant weft on: “Still, although we have thus passed judgment on you: because you are an Englishman against whom it might be said thet we had prejudices, and becausc you have had no opportunity of preparing a defense, and no wit- nesses to the facts, since all those whom you say you could have called are dead, we think it right that this unanimous sentence of ours should be confirm.u by a general court of the emigrant Boers. Therefore to- morrow morning you will be taken with us to the Bush- man’s River camp, where the case will be seti‘ced, and, if necessary, execution done in accordance with the ver- dict of the generals and veld-cornets of that camp. Meanwhile you will be kept in custody in your own house. Now have you anything to say against this sentence?” “Yes, this,” I answered, “that although you do net know it, it is an.unjust sentence, built up on the lies of one who has always been my enemy, and of a man whose brain is rotten. I never betrayed the Eoers. If amyone betrayed them it was Hernan Pereira himself, who, as I proved to the Gen. Retief, had been praying Dingaan to kill me, and whom Retief threatened to eer eee A Aa ia put upon his trial for this very crime, for which reason and no other Pereira fled from the kraal. taking his tool Henri Marais with him. You have asked God to judge me. Well, I ask God to judge him and Henri Marais also, and I know He wili in one way og another. As for me, I am ready to die, as I have been for months while serving the cause of you Boers, Shoot me now if you will, and make an end. But I tell you that if I escape your hands I will not suffer this treatment to £0 unpunished. I will lay my case before the rulers of my people, and if pecessary before my Queen, yes, if I have to travel to London to do #t, and you Boers shall learn that you cannot condemn an innocent Englishman upon false testimony and not pay the price. I tell you that price shall be great if I Live, and if I die it shall be greater still.” | Now these foolish words made a great impression upon my Judges. They believed that they passed a just sen- tence. Blinded by prejudice and falsehood, and maddened by the dreadful losses their people had suffered during the past few days at the. hands of a devilish savage, they believed that I was the instigator of those losses, one who ought to die. Indeed, all, or nearly all the Boers were persuaded that Dingaan was urged to this massacre by the counsels of Englishmen. The me-:e fact of my own and my servant’s miraculous escape, when all my companions had perished, proved my guilt to them without the evidence of Pereir® which, being no lawyers, they thought sufficient to justify their verdict. Still, they had an uneasy suspicion that this evidence was not conclusive, and might indeed begrejected in toto by a more competent court upon various grounds. Also they knew themselves to be rebels who had n¢ legal right to form a court, and feared the power of the long arm of England, from which for a little while they had escaped. If I were allowed to tell my tale to the Parliament in London, what might not happen to them, they wondered—-to them who ventured to pass sentemce of death upon a subject of the Queen of Great Britain? 1 Also another thought passed through their minds— that if the ssntemce were emecute:) «t orce, a dead man cannot appeal, and that here I liad no friends to take up my cause and avenge mé. Only at a-sign | was marched away to my littic house and imprisoned under guard. CHAPTER XXI-—THE INNOCENT BLOOD. FTER I had been taken away it seems that the A court summoned Hernan Pereira and Henri Marais to accompany them to a lonely spot at a distance, where they thought. that thelr deliberations would not be overheard. Im this, however, they were mistaken, having forgotten the fox-Nke cunning of the Hottentot, Hans. Hans crepe om his belly to the center of a bush behind a stone not five paces from where they were talk- ing. This was the substance their talk; that for the reasons I have atready men ed it would be best that I should die at emcee, Sentence, said the Commandant, had been passed, em@ could not be rescinded, since even if it were, theff offense would remain as heavy in the eyes of the English authorfties, Sut if they took me to their main camp to be retried by their great codneil, possibly that semtence might be rescinded and they be left individually and collecttvefy to atone for what they had done. Also J might escape in some other way to bring the English, or possibly the Zulus, upon them, since they felt convinced that Dingaan and I were working together for their destruction, and that while I had breath in my body I should never cease my efforts to be avenged. e Somebody suggested that I gould be shot at once. Then another suggestion wae made: that I should be brought out of my house just before the dawn on pre- tense that it was time to ride; that then I should be given the opportunity of escape and instantly shot down. Or it might be pretended that I had tried to escape, with a like result. To this black counsel they all agreed, being so ter- ribly afraid of a poor Engfish lad whose existence, al- though most of them did not Know this, was to be taken from him upon false evidence. By whose hand should the thing be done? Not one of them, it would seem, was anxious to fulfil this bloody office; indeed, they one and all refused to do so. y Then, after a whispered conference, the Commandant spoke some dreadful words. “Hernando Pereira ad Henri Marais,” he said, “it is on your evidence that this young man has been con- ademned. We believe that evidence, but if by one jot or one tittle it is false, then not fustice, but a foul murder will have been committed and his innocent blood will be upon your heads forgver. Hernando Pereira and Henri Marais, the court appoints you to be the guards who will bring the prisoner out of his house tomorrow morning just when the sky begins to lighten. It is from you that he will try to escape, and you will pre- vent his escape by his death, Then you must join us where we shall be waiting for you and report the ex- ecution.” | ; When Henri Marais heard thig he exclaimed: “I swear by God that I cannot do it.” Then the Commandant paused an’! went on: “Do you also refuse, Hernando Pereira?” “To give evidence is one thing, and ‘vo shoot the traitor and murderer another,” said Pereira. “Yet why should I, who know all this villain’s guilt, refuse to carry out the sentence of the law on Bim? Have no fear, Com- mandant, the accursed Allan Quatermain shall not suc- ceed in his attempt to escape tomorrow before the dawn.” “Sq be it,’ said the Commandant, “Now, do all you who have heard those words take note of them.” Then Hans, seeing that the council was about to break up slipped away by the same road that he had come. So he went to the Prinsloog @ad finding the vrouw alone with Marie, who had recovered her mind, told them everything that he had heard. As he said, Marie knelt down and prayed, or thought for a long while, then rose and spoke. - “Tante,” she said to the vrouw, “one ‘thing is clear, that Allan will be murdered at the dawn; now if he is hidden away he may escape.” “But where and how can we hide him,” asked his vyrouw, “seeing that the piace Is guarded?” “Tante,” said Marie again, “at the back of your house is an old cattle kraal made by Kaffirs, and in that cattle kraal, as I bave seen, there are mealie-pits where those Kaffirs stored their grain. Now [ suggest that we should put my husband into one of those mealie-pits and cover it over, There the Boers might not find him, however close they searched. “~ have a right to ga to my husband's house, and there I will go. Afterwards, too, I shall have the right to leave hig house before he fs taken away. Well, he might leave f in my place, as me, and you and Hans might help him. Then in the morning the Boers would come to search the house and find no one except me.” “That is all very pretty,” answered the vrouw; “but do you think, my niece, that those accursed vultures will go away until they have picked Allan’s bones?” Now, according to Hans, Marie thought again very deeply. Then she enewered: ‘“There’s a great risk, tante; but we must take it. Send your husband to chat with those guards, and give him a bottle of spirits. I will talk with Hans here and seo what can be erranged.” | So Marie went aside with Hans, as he told me after- wards, and asked him if he knew of any medicine that made people sicep for a long while without waking? 5 He answered, Yes: all the colored people had plenty of such medicine. Without doubt he could get some from the Kaffirs who dwelt upon the place, or if net he could dig the roots of a plant that he had seen crow- ‘ing near by which would serve the purpose. So she sent kim to procure this stuff. Afterwards she cpoke to the Vrouw Prinsloo, saying: “My plan is that Allan should escape from our house disguised as myself. But as I know well that he will not rum away while he has his senses, seeing that to do so in his mind would be to confess his guilt, I pro« pose to take his senses from him by means of a drugged drink. Then I propose that you and Hans should carry him into the shadow of this house, and when no one is looking, to the old grain-pit that lies but a few yards &way, covering the mouth of it with dead grass. There he will remain till the Boers grow tired of searchipg for him ari ride away. Or if it should chance that they find him, he will be no worse off than he was before." “A good plan enough, Marie, though not one that Allan would have anything to de with if he kept his wits,” answered the vrouw, “seeing that he was always a man for facing things out, although so young -in years. Still, we —_ try to save him in spite of him- self from the claws of that stinkcat Pereira, whom may God curse, and his tool, your father. As you eay, at the worst no harm will be done even éf they find him as probably they will, seeing that they will not leave this place pwithout blood.” * . Such was the trick which Marie arranged with the Vrouw Prinsloo. Or rather, @ should say, seemed to ar- range, since she told her nothing of her real mind, she who knew that the vrouw was right and that for their own sakes, as well as because they believed it to be justice, the Boers would never leave that place until they saw blood running on the grass, This, oh! this was Marie's true and dreadful plan— to give her life for mine! She was sure that once My had slain his victim, Hernan Pereira would not stop to make examination of the corpse. He would ride away. wounded by his guilty conscience, and meanwhile I could escape. She never thought the thing out in all its details, she who was maddened with terror and had no time. She only felt her way from step to step, dimly seeing mv deliverance at the end of the journey. Marie told the Vrouw Prinsloo nothing, except that she proposed to drug me if | would not go undrugged. Then the vrouw must hide me as best she could, in the grain-pit or else- where, or, if I had my senses about me, let me hide my- self. Afterwards she, Marie, would face the Boers and tell them to find me if they wanted me. The vrouw answered that she had now thought of a better plan. It was that she should arrange with her husband and son and the Meyers, all of whom loved me, that they shonld rescue me, or if need be, kill or disable Fereira before he couldshoot me. Marie replied that this was good if it could be do and the vrouw went out to find her husband and other men. Presently, however, she returned with 6 Icng face, saying that the Commandant had them aw under guard. It seemed that it had occurred to him, w more probably to Pereira, that the Prinsloos and the Meyers, who looked on me as a brother, might attempt some rescue or make themselves formidable in other ways. Therefore, as a matter of precaution, they nad been put under arrest and their arms taken from them as mfne had been. What the Commandant said, how- ever, was that he took these somewhat high-handed measures in order to be sure that they, the Priuslcos alu the Meyers, should be ready on the following morn- ing to ride with him and the prisoner to the main cam», where the great council might wish to interrogate them. One concession, however, the vrouw had won ¢rem the Commandant, who, knowing what was about to rFappen to me, had not, I suppose, the heart to refuse. It was that my wife and she might visit me and give me food or. the stipulation that they both left the house where | was confined by 10 o'clock that night. So it came to this, that if anything was to be done, these twe women and a Hottentot must do it, since they could hope for no help in their plana . Hans went away for a little and returned with a sup- ply of his sleep-producing drug, though whether he got this from the Kaffirs or gathered it himself, I do not re- member, if I ever heard. At any rate it was boiled up in the water with which they made the coffee that I wag to drink, though-not in that which Marie proposed te drink with me, the strong taste and black hue of the coffee effectually hiding and flavor or color that there might be in the herb. Also the vrouw cooked some food which she gave to Hans to carry. First, however, he went to investigate the old meatie-pit which was with- in a few paces of the back door of the Prinsloos’ house. He reported that would do well to hide a man in, es- pecially as tall grass and bushes grew about its moutb. Then the three of them started, and arriving at the door of my house, which was about a hundred yards away, were, of course, challenged by the sentries. “Heeren,” said Marie, “the Commandant has given us leave to bring food to my husband, whom you guard within. Pray do not prevent us from entering.” “No,” answered one of them gently enough, for he was touched with pity at her plight. “We have our orders to admit you, the Vrouw Prinsloo and the native servant, though why three of you should be needed to carry food to one man, I don’t know.” “The Vrouw Prinsloo wishes to ask my husband cer- tain questions about his property here and what fs to be done while he and her men are away at the main camp for the second trial, as I, whose heart is full of sor- row, haw no head for such things. Also the Hottecntet must have orders as to where he is to get a horse to ride with him, so pray let us pass, mynheer.” “Very good; it is no affairs of ours, Vrouw Quater- main— Stay, I suppose that you have no arms under that long cloak of yours.” “Search me, if you will, mynheer,” she answered, open- ing the cloak, whereon, after a quick glance, he nodded and bade them enter, saying: “Mind, you are to come out by 10 o'clock.” Then they entered and found me seated at a table pre- paring notes for my defense and setting down the heads of the facts of my relations with Pereira, Dingaan and the late Commandant Retief. Here I may state that my condition at the time was not one of fear, but rather of burning indignation. In- deed, I had not the slightest doubt but that when my case was retried before the great council, I should be able to establish my complete innocence of the abomin- able charges that had been brought against me. There- fore it came about that when Marie suggested that I should try to escape, I begged her’ almost roughly not to mention such a thing again. “Run away!” I said. “Why, that would be to con fess myself guilty, for only the guilty run away. What 1 want is to have all this business thrashed out and that devil Pereira exposed.” “But, Allan,” said Marie, “how if you should never live to have it thrashed out? How if you should be shot first?” Then she rose, and having looked to see that the shutter-board was fast in the little window place and the curtain that she had made of sacking drawn over it, returned and whispered: “Hahs here has heard a horrible tale, Allan. Tell ft to the basa Hans.” . Fiction Seotion<--Si. Lowis Post-Dispatch~ September 7, 1912, _— re sey * et ae Th OS DS ibs leh epee SARIS ci Waid MGS. BB OER lay 2 Me

%& i they are all gone.” while Vrouw Prinsloo, in order to deceive any pry- ' _@g eyes if such by chance could see us, busied herself _ SGWith lighting a fire on the hearth in the second room on which to warm the food, Hans told his story much as it has already been set out. I listened to it with growing incredulity. The thing seemed to me impossible. Either Hans was deceived or lying, the latter probably, for well I knew the Hotten- tot powers of imagination. Or perhaps he was drunk; indeed, he smelt of liquor, of which I was aware he could carry a great quantity without outward signs of intoxication. : “IT cannot believe it,” I said when he had finished. “fven if Pereira is such a fiend, as is possible, would Henri Marais, your father—who, at any rate, has always been a good and God-fearing man—consent to work such @ crime upon his daughter’s husband, though he does dislike him?” “My father is not what he was, Allan,” said Marie. “Sometimes I think that his brain has gone.” “He did not speak Hke a man whose brain has gone this afternoon,” I replied. “But let us suppose that this tale is true, what is it that you wish me to do?” “Allan, I wish you to dress up in my clothes and get away to a hiding place which Hans and the vrouw know, leaving me here instead of you.” “Why, Marie?’ I said. “Then you might get yourself shot in my place, always supposing that they mean to shoot me. Also I should certainly be caught and killed, as they would have a*right to kill escape in disguise. That is a mad plan, and I have a becter. Vrouw Prinsloo, go straight to the Commandant and tell him all this story, Or, if he will not listen to you, scream it out at the dop of your voice so that everyone may hear, and then come back and tell us the result. Of one thing [ am sure, that if you do this, even if there. was any thought of inv being so* tomor- row morning, it will be abandoned. You can refuse to say who told you the tale.” “Yes, please do that,’ muttered Hans, “else I know onts-who wiil be shot.” , : “Good, I will go,” said the vrouw, and she went, the guards letting her pass after a few words which we could not hear. Half an hour later she returned and called to us to open the door. “Well?” I asked. “Well,” she said, “lI icxcept have failed, nephew. those sentries outside the door, the Commandant and all the Boers have ridden off, | know not where, taking our people with them.” “That’s odd,” I answered, “but I suppose they thought they had not enough grass for their horses, or Heaven knows what they thought. thing.” and, opening the door, I called to the guards, honest fellows in their way, whom I had known in past times. “Listen, friends,” I said. “A tale has been brought to methat | am not to be taken to the big camp to have my- ease inquired of by the council, but am to be shot down in cold blood when I come out of this house tomorrow morning. Is that true?” “Allemachte, Englishman!’ answered one of them. “Do you take us for murderers?. Our orders are to lead you to the Commandant wherever he may appoint, so have no-fear that we shall shoot you like a Kaffir. Either you or they who told you such a story are mad.” “So I thought, friends,’ I answered. “But where is the Commandant and where.are the others? The Vrouw I’rinsloo here has been to see them, and reports that “That is very likely,” said the Boer. “There is a rumor that some of your Zulu brothers have’ come across the Tugela again to hunt us, which, if you want to know the truth, is why we_visited this place. Well, the Commandant has taken his men for a ride to see if he can meet them by this bright moonlight. Pity he could not take you, too, since you would have known so well where to find them, if they are there at all. Now please talk no more nonsense to us, which. it makes us sick to hear, and don’t think that you can slip away. be- cause we are only two, for you know our roers are loaded with slugs, and we have orders to use them.” “There,” I said when I .had shut the door, “now you Saveheard for yourselves. As I thought, there is noth ing in this fine story, so I hope you are convinced.” Neither the vrouw nor Marie made any answer, and Hans also held his tongue. Yet, as I remembered aft- erwards, I saw a strange glance pass between the two women, who were not at all convinced, and, although { mever dreamed of such a thing, had now determined to carry out their own desperate plan.’ But of this 1 repeat the vrouw and Hans only knew one half: the rest was locked in Marie’s loving heart. “Perhaps you are right, Allan,’ said the vrouw in the tone of one who gives way to an unreasonable child. “I hope so, and, at any rate, you can refuse to come out of the house tomorrow morning until you are quite sure. And now let us eat some supper, for we shall not _» * me for trying to paces away, was Marie’s and my own. Stay now, I will do some-. r. make matters better b¥@eoing hungty. Hans, bring the food,” : So we ate, or made pretense to eat, and I, being thirsty, drank two cups of the black coffee dashed wita spirit to serve as milk. After this I grew strangely sleepy. The last thing I remember was Marie ltookins at me with her beautiful eyes, that were full—ah! so fulk-of tender love, and kissing me again and again up* cn the lips. I dreamed all sorts of dreams, rather pleasant dreams or the whole. Then I woke up by degrees to find myselé in an earthern pit shaped like a bottle and having the remains of polished sides to it. I began to try to climb out of my hole, but as it was nine feet deep and bottle-shaped, which the light flow- ing in from the neck showed, I found this impossible. Just as I was giving up the attempt, a yellow fac? ap- peared in that neck, which looked to me like the face of Hans, and an arm was projected downwards. “Jump, if you are awake, baas,” said a voice—surely it was the voice of Hans—‘“and I will pull you »ut.” So I jumped, and caught the arm above the whist. ‘Uhen the owner of the arm pulled desperately, and the ene of it was that I succeded in gripping the edge of the bottle-liked hole, and, with the help of the arm, in dragging myself out. “Now, baas,” said Hans,, for it was Hans, “run, run before the Boers catch you.” “What Boers?” I asked, sleepily; “and how can I ruao with these things flapping about my legs?” Then I looked about me, and, although the dawn was only just breaking, began to recognize my surround- ings. Surely this was the Prinsloos’ house to my right, and that, faintly seen through the mist about a hundred There seemed to be something going on yonder which excited my awak- ening curiosity. I could see figures moving in an unus- ual manner, and desired to know what they were doing I began to walk towards them, and Hans, for his part, began to try to drag me in an opposite direction, utter- ing @l] sorts of gibberish as to the necessity of my run- ning away, . But I would not be dragged; indeed, ! struck him, until at last, with an exclamation of de- spair, he let go of me and vanished. So 1 went on alone. I came to my house, or what I thought resembled it, and there saw a figure lying on its face on the ground some 10 or 15 yards to the rigat of the doorway, and noted abstractly that it was dressed in my clothes. The Vrouw Prinsloo, in her absurd night garments, was waddling towards the figure, and a littl« way offgstood Hernan Pereira, apparently ‘in the act of reloading a double-barrelled gun. Beyond, staring at him. stood the lantern-faced Henri Marais, pulling at his long beard with one hand and holding a rifle in ‘he eth r Pehind were two saddled horses’ in the cbtarge of a raw Kaffir, who looked on stupidly. ; The Vrouw Prinsloo reached the body that lay upon the ground dressed in what’ resembled my: clothes, and bending her stout shape with an effort to turn it over. She glared into its face and then began to shriek. “Come here, Henri Marias,’ she shrieked, “come see what your beloved nephew has done! You had a daugh- ter who was all your life to you, Henri Marais. Well, come, ook at her after your beloved nephew has fin- ished his _work with her!’’ Henri Marais advanced slowly like one who does not understand. He stood over the body on the ground, and looked down upon it through the morning mists. Then suddenly he went mad. His broad hat fell from his head, and his long hair seemed to stand up. = Also his beard grew big and bristled like the feathers of a bird in frosty weather. He turned on Hernan Pereira. “You devil!’ he shouted, and his voice sounded like the roar of a wild beast; “you devil, you have murdered my daughter! Because you could not get Marie for you:- self, you have murdered her. Well, I will pay you back!” Without more ado he lifted his gun and fired straight at Hernan Pereira, who sank slowly to the ground and lay there groaning. Just then I grew aware that horsemen were advanc- ing upon us, a great number of horsemen, though whence they came at that time I did not know, One of these I recognized, even in my half-drunken state, for he had impressed himself very vividly upon my mind. He was the dark-browed Commandant who had tried and condemned me to death. He dismounted, and, staring at the two figures that lay upon the ground, said in a loud and terrible voice: “What is this? Who are these men, and why are they shot? Explain, Henri Marais.” “Men!” wailed Henri Marais, “they are not men. One is a woman—my only child; and the other is a devil, who, being a devil, will not die. See! he will not die. Give me another gun that I may make him die.” The Commandant looked about him wildly, and. his eye fell upon the Vrouw, Prinsloo. “What has chanced, vrouw?’’ he asked. “Only this,” she replied in a voice of unnatural calm. ~ aa “Your murderers whom you set on in the name of law and justice have made a mistake. You told them to murder Allan Quatermain for reasons of your own Well, they have murdered his wife instead.” Now the Commandant struck his hand upon his fore- head and groaned, and If, half awakened at last, ran for- ward, shaking my fists and gibbering. “Who is that?” asked the Commandant. “Is it a man or a woman?’ — | “Tt is a man in woman's clothing; it is Allan Quater- main,” answered the vrouw, “whom we drugged and tried to hide from your butchers.” “God above us!” exclaimed the Commandant, “is this earth or hell?” é Then the wounded Pereira raised” himself upon one + and. “Tl am dying,” he cried; “my life is bleeding away, but before I die I must speak, All that story I told against the Englishman is false. He never plotted with Dingaan against the Boers. It was 1 who plotted with Dingaan. Although I hated him because he found me out, I did not wish Retief and our people to be killed. But I did wish Allan Quartermain to be killed, because he had won her whom I loved, though, as it happened, all the others were slain, and he alone escaped. Then I came here and learned that Marie was his wife—yes. his wife indeed—and I grew mad with hate and jeal- ousy. So I bore false witness against him, and, you fools, you believed me and ordered me.to shoot him who is innocent before God and man. Then things went wrong. The woman tricked me again—for the last time, She dressed herself as the:man, and in the dawn- light I was deceived. I killed her, her whom I bv? sione, and now her father, who loved her also, has killed me.” By this time I understood all, for my drugged brain had awakened at last. I ran to the brute upon the ground; grotesque in my woman's garments all awry, I leaped on him and stamped out the last of his life. Then, standing over his dead body, I shook my fists and cried: : ; “Men, see what you have done. May God pay you back all you owe her and me!” They dismounted, they came round me, they protested, they even wept. And, I, I raved at them upon the one side, while the mad Henri, Marais raved upon the other; and the Vrouw Prinslodéd, waving her big arms, called down the curse of God and the blood of the innocent upon their heads and those of their children forever. Then I remember no more. When I came to myself two weeks afterwards, fer ! had been very ill and in delirium, [| was lying in the house of the Vrouw Prinsloo alone. The Boers had al! gone, east and west and north and south, and the dead were long buried. They had taken Henri Marais with them, so I was told, draggife him away in a bullock cart. to which he was tied, for he was ravine mad, Aft- erwards he became quieter, and indeed, lived for years, walking about and asking all whom he met if they cvuald lead him to Marie. But enough of him—poor m&n, pocr man! : The tale which got about was that Pereira had mur- dered Marie out of jealousy, and been shotby her father. They brought me a letter that had been found on Marie’s breast, stained with her _ blood. Here it is: “My Husband, “Thrice have you saved my life, and now it is my turn to save yours, for there is no other path. It may be that they will kill you afterwards, but if so, I shall be glad to have died first in order that I may be ready to greet you in the land beyond. ‘“T drugged you, Allan, then I cut off my hair ani dress- ed myself in your clothes. The Vrouw Prinsloo, Hans and I set my garments upon you. They led you out as though you were fainting, and the guards, seeing me, whom they thought was you, standing in the doorway, let them pass without question. “What may happen I do not know, for I write this after you are gone. I hope, however, that you will escape and lead some full and happy life, though I fear that its best moments will always be shadowed by memories of me. For I know you love me, Allan, and will always love me, as I shall always love you. “The light is burning out—like mine—so farewell, fare- well, farewell! All earthly stories come’to an end at last, but at that end we shall meet again. Till then, adieu. Would that I could have done more for you, since to die for one who is loved with body, heart and soul is but a little thing. Still I have been your wife, Allan, and your wi I shall remain when the world is old. Heaven does not grow old, Allan, ar there I shall greet you. “The light is dead, buft—oh!—in my heart another light ises! ar “YOUR MARIE.” This was her letfer. I do not think there is anything more to be said. Such is the history of my first love. Those who read it, if any ever do, will understand why I have never spoken of her before, and do not wish it to be known until I, too, am dead and have gone to join the great soul of Marie Marais. f ALLAN QUATERMAIN, ~—THE END— =, \ ( IN THE EXT SUNDAY NEW Post-Dispatch Magazine “THE POISON BELT” By Sir ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE “THE POISON BELT” WHICH BEGINS i Sy This marvelous serial story is the thrilling adventures of Prof. Challenger, Lord John Roxton, Prof. Summerlee and Mr. E.
