A ‘poll of the City Council, which was made by the Post-Dispatch Tues- day, shows that Mayor Kiel’s scheme to build a special approach to the free bridge for the benefit of the Busch terminal at ‘a cost to the city of $750,- ‘000 has been knocked out. Hight of the nine Councilmen inter- viewed said they would not consent to ‘a bond issue including fhe $750,000 item, and all but one of the Councilmen on the Bridge Conference Committee of l¢ will conduct a fight Wednesday in the Mayor's office to rescind the indorse- ment of a $3,500,000 bond issue. Result of Post-Dispatch Fight. The opposition to Mayor Kiel’s scheme and the decision of August A. Busch to withdraw at present from the position of petitioner for a special approach which was made public Monday are direct, results of the Post-Dispatch’s campaign to defeat the special approach plan. The investigation of Busch franchises by City Counselor Baird, with instruc- tions from the City Council to institute proceedings to collect any forfeits due the city also was brought about by the _, Post-Dispatch investigation of the 1905 grant in which the Busch terminal com- pany agreed to build gn Illinois belt rail- road and ferry system before 1910.

Y., Sept. 14.—While a parade of an “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ troupe was forming at Saugerties, Clar- ice Finger, a little girl, crowded too close to one of the trained ponies and her auburn curls blew in its face. The pony resented the intrusion by biting the child’s shoulder. Uncle Tom No. 1 ran to the office of Dr. Rudolph Diedling and told him what had happened. While Uncle Tom and Dr. Diedling were running down the street a gust of wind blew the doctor’s hat between the legs of a team of colts and they ran away. Simultaneously one of the bloodhounds, which twice daily chases Eliza while she crosses the ice, decided to go “‘bloodhounding” in pur- suit of the runaways and started away with such suddenness that it lifted a negro boy, to whose waist the hound was tied, from his feet and dragged him along. “MEN OWE THEIR BEAUTY TO POLYGAMOUS APES” Doctor’s, Theory of the Evolu- tion of the Beardless Jaw, However, Is Challenged. BIRMINGHAM, England, Sept. 16.— “But for the polygamous habits of the anthropoid ape, man could never have become strong and beautiful,” said Dr. Campbell before the British Association convention. “The preferences of the female an- thropoid has had a great effect on man’s evolution, nowhere more than in the relation to the formation of the jaw. The female ape selected a beardless mate because he appealed to her esthetic notions. That is one reason that we owe our origin to polygamy, but so it is.” Prof. Elliott, differing with Dr. Campbell, contended that early men’s skulls showed they had beards. He said it was quite possible that the beautiful race was evolved because early men preferred beardless women. STOLEN CIGARETTES AT POLICE STATION VANISH Belleville Chief Turns Box Over to Owner—Not a Smoke Left in It. Who took stolen goods from the Bell®- ville Police Station? Chief of Police Stookey would like to know. A case of cigarettes was stolen from Schaab & Emge’s cigar store on West Main street. The cigarettes were re- covered by the police and taken to the station to be held as evidence. Mon- day afternoon Chief Stookey notified Gust Schaab of the cigar store that he could~have his cigarettes if he would call at the station. Schaab called. Stookey turned the box supposed to contain the cigarettes over to Schaab, who opened it. The box was empty. Chief Stookey said he would investigate. The goods were valued at $2.10. .

Administrator and Lort Realty Company Are the Same. Depositions taken Monday afternoon Albert G. Blanke, J. L. Henrietta Loeb, fealty deal in which Miss charges she was defrauded. of real estate sold under a of trust placed on them by her. Miss Norton, who resides at 5801 North Market street, actively engaged in the real estate busi- ness for herself. She states that in July, 1912, she made Albert G. trustee of certain properties in St. Louis and St. Louis County and executed a se- ries of 18 notes for $100 each covering the deal. Notes Sold to Harry Troll. Blanke sold the notes to Harry Troll, former Public Administrator for $2317. When the notes were unpaid the prop- erty was sold under a foreclosure sale in August, 1918, for $1900 to men named Orcutt and Newberry, who it is allezed represented the Lort Realty and Invest- ment Co. No cash was paid and the amount was credited on the notes. Late in Atllgust the county property was sold by the Lort Co. to J. L. Sprague for $1000. A first deed of trust for $2500 was on the properties. Miss Norton values the county realty at close to $6000 and charges the series of sales under the second deed of truSt are fraudulent. The depositions were in part-an attempt by Henrv S. Caul- field, attorney for Miss Norton, to show that Harry Troll and the Lort R. E. & Investment Co. were the same and that the different sales of the property were all maneuvered by Troll. Judge Caulfield asked Blanke if he did not know that the name Lort was that of Troll spelt backawrd. He said 4 he did not and Troll’s counsel said there was an ‘‘l” missing to make the state- ment correct. Stenographer Testifies. Miss Minnie Pincus, formerly a stenog- rapher for Henderson, Marshall & Beck- er, the law firm that represents ‘the Lort company and occupies the same suite of offices with it, testified that she was secretary of the Lort Realty and Investment Co. and possessed one share of stock in the corporation. She said she had transferred property on Jefferson avenue as consideration for the stock, but though questioned closely, she was unable to state from whom or where she had obtained the Jefferson avenue property. location and could not state whether it was improved or not. The law firm ‘ts the one that represented Troll when he was Public Administrator. Albert G. Blanke, a real estate agent, testified he had used a Miss Spratt, a stenographer in his office, as a ‘‘straw man’”’ as payee in the notes executed by Miss Norton. He said second deeds of trust were habitually sold at a.10 to 15 per cent discount. J. I, ‘Sprague testified that he had merely acted as agent for a Mr. Aach, who, in turn, was agent for Mrs. Hen- rietta Loeb, in making the last pur- chase of the property. The depositions were held before Benjamin H. Charles. EMBEZZLER, WANTED IN ST. LOUIS, CAUGHT E. J. Delporte’s Eagerness to See Police Circulars Leads to Arrest in Utah. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 1¢. —E. J. Delporte, wanted in St: Louis on a charge of embezzling $1400 from the Adam Roth Grocery ~Co., two years ago, was arrested here this morn- ing. Delporte has been in this city 13 months, and in the last four months has been a frequent visitor at police headquarters, where each day he would scan carefully each circular received from other cities giving descriptions of men wanted. He became so eager to see these cir culars that he aroused the suspicions of the Police Department. Delporte admitted the charge and sald he would return to St. Louis without extradition.

THAW WINS DELAY |r IN U.S. FEARING ON HABEAS CORPUS Awaiting Extradition Proceed- ings Before Governor. IS. CHEERED Plaintiff Alleges That Former: Federal Judge Says He Can’t Find Law Authorizing Return of Thaw to Matteawan. By Associated Press. LITTLETON, N. H., Sept. 16.—Harry . Thaw won a victory in the:United States District Court here today when Sprague and Judge Aldrich indefinitely suspended a revealed an involved hearing on a writ of habeas corpus ob- Norton tained by the Thaw lawyers. This means She asks that Thaw will have a Federal writ to for the right to redeem certain pieces ' check his immediate return to New second deed | York State, if Gov. Felker orders his extradition, after the hearing to be held at Concord. “It is the judgment of the said Judge Aldrich, ‘‘that Court,” suspension : would not menace the interests of either Blanke | delay side and in view of the fact that the Governor hesitates to proceed with the extradition hearing until the status of this matter is assured, I suspend it. It is not adjourned, but suspended, and I suggest that either side notify me, with- in six days, when they are prepared to go on with it.’’ In an open discussion with William Travers Jerome after announcing the suspension of the hearing, Judge Al- drich said that search of the statutes had failed to reveal to him any law under which a man in Thaw’s position, adjudged a lunatic and charged with a crime, could be extradited. Jerome Seeks Immediate Action. Jerome, specially deputized to bring about Thaw’s return to the asylum, tried to block the postponement on the ground that the writ had been obtained as a matter of expediency. He produced an affidavit of a news- paper man, quoting Thaw’s counse] as saying this, but he was unwilling to press the objection after counsel for Thaw had assured the’ court that the application for the writ had been entirely regular. Thaw was remanded to the foint custody of Sheriff Drew of Coos County, who arrested him after his recent deportation from Canada, and United States Marshal Nute. Counsel for both sides, after talking with the Governor by _ telephone, agreed that the extradition hearing would not be held until Tuesday, Sept. 23. The lawyers then went into con- ference to decide where to hold Thaw meanwhile. Crowds, packing Main street in front of the court building, cheered Thaw as he was driven to a hotel for dinner. Thaw Ignores Spectators. When shaw took his seat before the hearing opened he closed his eves, rested his cheek on his hand and did not give the spectators a glance. Jerome sar almost opposite the prisoner. Judge Al- drich, in robes, took his seat at 11:05. Shurtleff, for Thaw, pointing out that the extradition hearing in the Thaw ease was to be held soon, probably to- morrow, asked that the habeas corpus hearing be postponed. “There is no Federal issue involvei here,’’ said Jerome in objecting. ‘This writ has been obtained under circum- stances which approach very near trifling with the Court.”’ -Here he introduced an affidavit by Lindsay Dennison, a newspaper writer. setting forth that Thaw’s counsel had told him that the writ had been ob- tained, not to bring about the fugi- tive’s freedom now, but to safeguard him against sudden remoVal should ex- tradition be granted. “This writ,” he concluded, “presents was obtained for no other purpose than delay.”’ George F. Morris, one of Thaw’s New Hampshire lawyers, answered Jerome. The application for the writ was en- tirely regular, he said, while the war- rant on which New York sought to get Thaw was a subterfuge. Fears Jerome Might Take Thaw. “We have had no assurance that Brother Jerome would not take Mr. Thaw at once, if the extradition warrant were signed,’’ said Morris. After hearing arguments, the Court suspended proceedings. The New York authorities were anxious to have the writ quashed. Marshal Nute and Sheriff Drew were instructed to let Thaw confer freely with counsel. HOLLAND WOMEN TO VOTE, DUTCH CABINET ASSERTS Plan to Grant Parliamentary Suffrage Is Announced From Throne.

FOLK CONSIDERS: TAKING JOB UNDER SEGRETARY BRYAN Appointment of Former Gover- nor as Solicitor in State De- partment Momentarily Expected. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Former Gov. Folk of Missouri probably will be named Solicitor for the State Depart- ment in the next # hours. Folk is in Washington and-has had a conference with Secretary of State Bry- an. He is now considering the proffer of the post which was first made to him in July. Senator Reed of Missouri has indorsed Folk.. Senator Reed saw Sec: retary of State Bryan regarding the ap- pointment yesterday. Today Senator Reed dent. on too friendly terms with Folk for many years, will not stand in.the way of his confirmation as solicitor. Senator Stone told the: correspondent of the Post-Dispatch today that while his indorsement had not been sought, he would vote for the confirmation of Folk. He said he understood that Folk would be the fNnext solicitor for the State Department. In this connection saw the Presi- it may be said Ttthat Folk has abandoned any-idea he entertained of entering the senatorial primary in Missouri as a candidaie for the nomination for the United States Senate against Senator Stone. This may account for the readiness | of Senator Stone to acquieste in the appointment, although the Senator said he was making it a practice to vote to confirm all of the President's nomina- tions. The office of Solicitor of the State De- partment, while paying but $4500 a year, is one of the most important positions in the Federal Government. It is par- ticularly important at this time. The Solicitor has in charge all the claims of Americans against Mexico... This office also has eharge of all other claims against foreign nations.

A slap in the face led to the killing, which took place before the bar of the court of honor. There had been ill feeling between the two, and they had agreed to sumbit their differences to a court of honor, which was to decide whether a duel was necessary. They had just given to the court their testimony concerning their quarrel when Von _Westernhagen, in a rage over some freriarks made by Prof. Maass, struck him in the face.

Word was received by these associates that he was caught in a boarding house there, after a three months’ search, ‘charged in 16 indictments with frauds , involving $700,000 in public work con- Stracts with the city of Fort Worth, Tex. McCormick was known in St. Louis for his rapid rise from foreman of a gang of laborers at the Crystal City Glass Works in 1905 to promoter of a large corporation.and contractor on a six-figure scale. He was, for a time, in the confidence ef several St. Louis bankers, who advanced him money on his promotion schemes. Butler, Brennan and Smith were as- sociated with him in the McCormick : Waterproof Portland Cement Co., of * which McCormick was president and - Smith vice-president. This company “. obtained the contract for the construc- tion of a new dam and reservoir in Fort Worth, and McCormick went there to supervise the work. — Charged With Swindling. Last June his St. Louis partners learned that McCormick had been ac- cused in Fort Worth of having swin- died the city in various matters per- taining to his contract. One charge was S°that he had paid $500 to a city official, whose duty it was to inspect the work, to overlook inferior material and work- manship. McCormick told his partners the ’ charges were due-to a fight of political factions in Fort Worth, and they ex- pressed their confidence in him. But. soon afterward, when the 16 indictc- ments were voted, McCormick departed ‘ from St. Louts. The St. Louisans removed him from the presidency of the cement company, and decided to make no effort to locate | him.

Many of these books were carted to police headquarters, as were the photographic apparatus found in the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street flat. Among other things found at both the office of Dr. Muret and Father Schmidt’s room were photo- graphs of Bertha Zeck, and in Dr. Muret’s apartment also was found a set of photographs of the priest in street and clerical clothes. While Father Schmidt slept in his cell in. the Tombs, a few blocks away, ignorant of the arrest of Muret, detectives questioned the dentist for hours this morning concerning his re- lations with the -confessed murderer. Father Schmidt, Inspector Fauret de- clared, had not been questioned about Muret and had not given him the lead that led to the latter's arrest. Later today the police planned to confront Muret with an 1l-year-old boy, who has told the detectives that he saw a tall man accompany Schmidt to and from the Bradhurst avenue flat on different occasions. Muret is six feet tall, overtopping Father Schmidt by several in¢hes. . Photo Developing Plant Found. At the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street flat, which consists of four rooms land a bath, detectives found a perfect- ‘ly appointed dark room in the kitchen, while in the dining room was a large camera. This, Inspector Faurot said, was one of the finest he had ever seen. In the bedroom was a small hand press, two pairs of rubber gloves and in. the tubs in the dark room kitchen chemicals and acids of the kind used in developing photographic plates. On ‘his way to headquarters Dr. Mu- ret admitted, the police allege, that he Was practicing dentistry without a proper license. He had studied den- tistry in Berlin, he told the police, and in New York, but had failed to pass the examinations for a certificate to practice. Among his effects taken t> headquarters was a framed license bearing the proper certifications. The police set about tracing the authorship of this certificate this morning. Muret, the detectives say, is a notary public and a member of the Dental Protective Association of Chicago. From Mainz, Germany, there came to Monsignor Joseph F. Mooney, Vicar- ype of the Archdiocese of New York, a cablegram from the secretary of the Bishop, which said that Schmidt had been declared insane there and suspend- ed by the Bishop. The message read: “Schmidt born at Aschaffenburg. Priest of diocese of Mainz. Ran away from Mainz because of attempted frauds: ar- rested by police; declared insane by court and discharged: Suspended by Bishop for acts and for presenting falsi- fied document regarding studies he pre+ tended to have made...

Both of Schmidt’s parents and other relatives living here consider him ab- normal morally, and declared that there were numerous cases of insanity in the family. According to the records he was born in 1881 and was ordained in 19044. He showed no signs of abnormality, as far as could be learned, before his twentieth year and then his character appeared to undergo a strange transformation. He became unsociable and was unable to agree with his superiors. He occupied a number of curacies from 1904 to 1907, but remained only a few months in each place. Schmidt, it is stated, took holy orders against his own wishes and only to satisfy the desire of his mother. The parents of Schmidt declared to- »day the young priest is hereditarily ab- normal. Several members of the family are in asylums for the demented and there have been four suicides in the family in five years. The letters sent home by the priest are said by his rela- tives to be written in a confused and hazy style.

He resorted to forged certificates even in his boyhood and by this means was enabled to enter the classical high school at Mainz, where he was educated. He was arrested, but was released by the Court as weak minded. Muret Member of Association That Fights “Sham” Patents. CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—Dr. E. Muret is not known among dentists in Chicago.

"ARMY OF 100000 FORMED MUSTER visional Government if Bill Becomes a Law. 200.000 FORCE LIKELY Sir Edward Carson in Belfast to Inspect Volunteer Corps Being Recruited. By Associated Press. BELFAST, Ireland, Sept. 16.—Sir Ed- ward Carson, :,eader of the Trish Union- ists, landedin Ireland today. The object of his visit, it was said, was to inspect a volunteer army which is being raised in Ulster to support the provisional government which is, to be brought into existence in case the home rule bill becomes law. The Ulster army is said to be thor- oughly organized and to have attained a strength of about 100.000 men. This number its leaders expect to double when recruiting has Been complesed. Sir Edward intends to spend a week in Ulster. With several lieutenants, he will visit the various corps which have been formed by drilled men of the Tniontst clubs and Orange lodges. The climax of Sir Edward’s visit will come on Saturday, when he has ar- ranged to inspect the Belfast Unionist corps. In the course of the week a number of private meetings of the Ulster Union- ist Council will take place to complete arrangements for the provisional gov- ally to establish. There seems to be little hope of a general conference between the various parties on the question of home rule, — SHOW OF FASHIONS FILLS FAMOUS AND BARR STORE Despite the inclement weather, throngs filled the aisles of the Fa- mous & Barr Co.’s store Tuesday, the second day of the~- establishment's fashion show. -The living models proved one of the main attractions. The bridal pageant of Monday was a great treat for the women visitors. The costumes worn by the “bride” and her “attendants” were eagerly scanned. ‘Every department in the big new store had its own show features and music furnished by bands and orches- tras could be heard on every floor. The array of newest styles in the garment and trimmings divisions ap- pealed to the crowds, which were not made up solely of St. Loulsans. Out- of-town visitors have been coming in steadily to inspect the new establish- ment. Floral pieces in profusion sent by other department stores and commer- cial houses. furnished a delightful fragrance. Many were from firms in various parts of Europe. Wonderful lighting effects showed the emporium off to great advantage, adding charm to the variety of goods on display. Shopping facilities are reduced to a science by several new departments, the most important of which is the adjustment bureau where customers may go and have mistakes rectified with little delay. The large piano room on the sixth floor proved a popular resting place for the sightseers. An expert in me- chanical piano playing repeated an all-day recital which so highly pleased Monday’s audience. Among the styles on exhibition were the latest fall materials for women’s and children’s dresses and up-to-date ready-for-wear garments. Large portraits of William Barr and Joseph Specht, the founders of the enter- prise, looked down upon the thousands of visitors from frames decorated with ferns and the stars and stripes. In the little stores they started a haif century ago they little dreamed that the department store of tne future would be so immense, 80 complete. The management, in framing its dis- jplay advertisements, has recognized the big new store as an addition to civic pride. The phrase, “Forward 8t. Louis,” seemed to be the keynote of the many emblems scattered about on the eight floors. The bridal pageant proved so pop- ular that it was decided to have it repeated on the second and third was complete, every character going to make up a real soolety wedding being employed. The bride, leaning on the arm of her bridegroom, was attired in bro- caded chiffon with a rose design. Over this wag an overdrape of net wrought with pearls and beads, white over flesh color. The bridal veil was studded with pearls and orange bios- soms. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses, ' Her “mother” was garbed in bro- caded white meteor, the “maid of honor” wore a bodice of brocaded crepe, and the three “bridesmaids” were all attired in different styles of gowns.

“ 3 ee ' & . : P _ Hugh J. Reilly Says He Let _* Governor Have $10,000 After His Nomination. EXECUTIVE IS DEFIANT Changed Attitude Worries Foes Who Express Fear of Hidden Mines. *NEW YORK, Sept. 16—Mugh J. Reilly, a contractor and railroad build- er for the Cuban Government, one of teday’s witnesses before the Sulzer Board of Impeachment managers, said that he loaned Gov. Sulzer $10,000 in cash at Sulzer’s request shortly after his nomination, Gov. Sulzer, he sald, stil] owed him this money in addition to other loans. Sulzer’s total indebtedness to tim, he said, was $26,500. Relily was examined in private be- fere the impeachment managers’ attor- ney, and this is what he told the nmews- paper men he testified. Reilly was ques- tioned regarding his dealings with Su'- ger when the latter was chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the _‘Houge of Representatives in connection with claims Reilly was pressing against the Cuban Government. Their relations were refcsrred to in re- cent litigation in which Reilly was ir- volved. ; Paid Back in Driblicts. “Sulser asked me for a $10,000 loan gust after he was nominated,” said ‘ Relity. “He came to my house and I paid him the money in cash in the presence of my wife. I did not take any note for it. I had had previous experience with Sulzer’s notes. I had loaned him money before. He would pay me back in ¢driblets, but when I gave him that $10,000 it brought his total debt to me up to $26,500, dating back over a long period. I did not want to let him have the $10,000 and told him not to get a swelled head just because he'd been nominated, but he promised to pay me back the next February, and so I gave it to him. He never paid it, and he still owes me $26,500.” i . When the court of impeachment meets on Thursday, various points of procedure will have to be decided. Whether the three judges of the Court of Appeals designated by the Governor to assist in clearing the court calendar—Judges Hiscock, Chase and Miller—will sit with the elective judges in determining the guilt or innocence of the accused executive, is one of the points to be settled. It was expected that the Court of Article Taken by Boy Burglars, Whom Mrs. Pareira Trailed, Secrétly Returned. ; ALLENDER IS “SWEATED” After Detective Chief’s Diligence Is Questioned, Bag Is Found on Front Porch. Mrs. A, J. Pareira of 5802 Westminster place has recovered her precious vanity bag which she valued more nighly than all the other jewelry stolen from her home by a gang of boy burglars now in the custody of the police. Mrs. Pareira’s persistence in trailing the vanity bag and in becoming her own detective when the experts of ths police department failed to find it, was rewsrded Monday night when she found a suitcase on the front poreh of her home. It contained not only the vanity bag, but most of ‘the other articles stclen from the Pareira residence on the night of Aug. &.. “Sweated” Leader of Gang. Ever since the arrest and confession of Lawrence Reisenmy, the 20-year-old leader of the burglar gang, Mrs. Pareira has been tracing that vanity bag to the robbers’ lair. Saturday afternoon she went to Police Headquarters and “sw@ated’’ William Murphy; one of the first members of the gang arrested. Detectives stood agide and permitted Mrs. Pareira to question Murphy for a half hour. Murphy denied that he stole the van- ity bag, but told her that he thought it was taken by Lawrence Reisenmy, self-confessed leader of the gang. Monday Reigenmy admitted that he robbed the Pareira home. When Mrs. Pareira read of this confession she again went to police headquarters in the afternoon. This time she “‘sweated’’ Detective Chief Allender, after she had talked to Reisenmy, who told her that her vanity bag had been turned over to Richard Waldbart of 589 Etzel &venue to be disposed of. Mrs. Pareira asked Allender why he had not been more diligent in finding the stolen property. Bag Left on Front Perch. “If you can’t find it, I’ll do it myself,” she said. And she did. She started from police headquarters with the an- nounced intention of going to the Wald- bart home and claiming her vanity bag. ‘When she arrived there she found that detectives had already been there and arrested Richard Waldbart. The suitcase with her vanity bag in it was mysteriously left on her front Silver butter knives. 8 Sitver .coffce Spoons and 1 silver mustard spoon. Jackson said Walden had brought the silverware to his home, explaining his mother was breaking up housekeeping and that he had bought it ali from Wal- den with a check for $6. | Fletcher William, a negro living at $015 Locust street, was arrested when cloth- ing belonging to Bevis was found in his rooms.

a u |SIX GIRLS AND BOY WHO GAVE | ENTERTAINMENT TO SAVE RABIES Dr. A. J. Waldschmidt Tells How He Was Made Head of Cofporation to Dissolve It. FRAUD, SAY ST. LOUISANS Transfer of Continental-Com- mercial Co. Illegal, Is Charge; Court Asked to Restore It. How St. Louisans got their wings clipped in their pursuit of fortune in the sugar, rubber and coffee plantation businéss in Mexico was revealed Mon- day in depositions taken before Probate Judefe Hoiltcamp, in the suit of Charles Billhartz and others to have set aside the/ dissolution of the Continental Com- fal Co., a $2,500,000 corporation, iich formerly owned large tracts of id in Mexico. The suit was filed in Augusta, Me. és ere the company was incorporated. : Touls stockholders charged that the ssolution of the company last January, iter all of its assets had been trans- ; to the American-Mexican Sugar , Was done fraudulently and without oir knowledge. , Promoters Encounter Obstacles. e testimony at the first hearing in- cated that not only had the stock- _holéers lost their entire investments in the Continental-Commercial Co., but that the promoters.aiso had met with condi- tions financial obstacles almost in- surmountable. The most serious charge made by the | stockholders was that the officers and ‘directors of the Continental Commercial Co. organized themselves into a Bond- hoiders’ Committee ostensibly to pro- tect the holders of the $850,000 worth of bonds that had been sold to the public, and then, as directors of the corpora- tion, transferred to themselves as mem- | bers of a. Bondholders’ Committee the entire assets of the corporation. This action in May, 1912, divested the Continental-Commercial Co. of all its property. A new corporation, the Amer- ican-Mexicah Sugar Co., was organized to take over the property of the old corporation. The stockholders charged that they were thereby deprived of all of their property and that the officers and directors had come into possession of it. It was shown in the testimony that a stockholders’ meeting was called in Augusta, Me., last January to ratify this transfer and to authorize the dis- solution of the corporation. The stock- holders bringing the suit testified that they received no notice of the meet- ing and did not know that the com- pany’s assets had heen sold and the company dissolved. The purpose of the Maine suit is to have the dissolution of the corporation revoked. A suit hasbeen filed in St. Louis to nullify the transfer of the as- sets of the corporation and have the property restored to the Continental Commercial Co. for the benefit of its stockholders. Dr. A. 3. Waldschmidt, a dentist, tes- tified that he was elected president of the Continental-Commercial Co. last December. One share of stock was gtven to him by August P. Erker, he said, so that he might qualify for the office. According to Dr. Waldschmidt's testimony he knew nothing about the affairs of the company, but signed an affidavit prepared by Bert Fenn, attor- ney for the company, for its disincor- poration. "Waldschmidt Examined at ‘Length. Dr. Waldschmidt was examined at length by Attorney William G. Car- ae meee representing the plaintiffs, for tbe purpose of showing that his know)- edge of the affairs of the $2,500,000 cor- ef which he was the head was BRrker, a St Louls optical dealer, also | Wae-.exumined at length. He became a and since identified : that he Sadee com- presumed to repre- interests of the bondholders, f BLES itt 3 : 4 SERRE LE ERE Ra ES ORRIN Standing, left to right: Blanche Wieh, Teresa Nifong, Adele Wol- tering; bottom row: Nettie Zahner, Helen Schwent, Lee Kennedy Irene McCormick. Six girls and one boy, all living in ‘the neighborhood of Ninth and Brook- lyn streets, undertook an ambitious en- tertainment for the benefit of the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund and carried it through successfully. As a result they have turned over to the cashier of the fund $26.13, which will help materially in the work of saving the babies. The seven gave an entertainment at the La Beaume theater, 1935 North and Lee Kennedy, 837 Brooklyn. Ninth street. There was music, vocal and with the piano and violin, recita- tions, ete. In addition,.the children rnold 118 glasses of lemonade at a cent a giass. They sold 500 tickets of ad- mission.

Erker testified that a bond issue of $500,000 was authorized, and $360,000 issued and sold. He was asked what became of the remaining $150,000 in bonds, sup- posed to have been held in the treas- ury. These, he said, were pledged as collateral for loans. Erker said he owned $20,000 worth of bonds, and was the joint holder of $75,000 more. The company defaulted in the interest on the bonds several years ago. Reports on the condition of the several large tracts of land in Mexico were réad into the records. One of these reports was by Hennings in 1911, and it showed the property was in very bad condition. The company was fined $14,- 000 by the Mexican Government, accord- ing to the report, for failure to pay its revenues on alcohol, which it was manufacturing In one of its plazts. Erker testified that he recently visited Mexico and found the property in bad condition. In one tract of 2200 acres, he said, only 250 acres were in cultivation. FASHION’S LATEST GOWNS SHOWN BY STIX, BAER & FULLER If St. Louls beauties, during the com- ing social season, are not able to out- strip and outshine Parisian boulevard- iennes in grace and fashion it will not be because the Stix, Baer & Fuller com- pany are not presenting the very latest triumphs of modiste and milliner in so complete a manner that no finest point or newest trick of fashion can escape. A course of lectures by Ora Cne, style expert, illustrated as he talks by grace- ful girls who walk about in fashion’s latest commandments of gowns and hats. In this way the whole résult of the combined efforts of Parisian artists to outdo eachother is brought to the observant spectator at a glance. But to those who were kept away from the show this morning the following memo- randa gathered will prove useful in the selection of your new fall things. The lecturer’s subject covered only after- noon gowns and hats, evening costumes to be shown at a later performance. General characteristics of the new gowns are that the bodices are extreme- ly high at the back of the neck, ex- tremely low in front. The skirts are extrerhely short, high above the instep in front and drag often into a long train at the back. Skirts are volumi- nous in their folds about the hips, but cling even more closely about the an- kles ¥ than heretofore. One skirt is called the pantalen, because, really, the feet are slipped through two distinct ankle bands. It hangs so baggily, how- ever, that the bifurcation is not in the least apparent. ‘Another skirt, the description of which jis likely to prove more sensational than its actual appearance, occurs in a Jean Lanvin gown, which is constructed en- tirely of black chiffon, the transparent veiling worn without other foundation over black silk tights. There is a double ruffied tunic dnd the skirt hangs in thick folds, all of a midnight darkness, almost forbidding a penetrating ray of | light. This Jean Lanvin is the artiste celebrated for her ability to drape tall women becomingly. She uses the double overskirt as the tall model revealed most becomingly. The corkscrew gown is likewise not so excruciating an edict of fashion as it sounds, being a cleverly twisted skirt of American Beauty rose worn with plain colored shoes. The Russian pantaloon skirt, quite dif- ferent from the first pantaloon men- tioned, derives its name presumably from ifs peg-topped effect and deep side pockets. It was of heavy lustreless satin. charmeuse, bronze green, bor- dered about a low lace bodice, the pock- ‘}ets and feet with sable fur. All the skirts have those triangular lines, the points at feet and either hip. The minaret, so called for its Turkish origin, the transparent tunic wired to stand out the same as the harem ladies affect over their baggy trousers. Heavy material, satin that hangs as if weighted, velvets, and plushes that just escape being fur, in fact many are imitation of moleskin and baby lamb, usually form the body of these after- noon gowns. And then, fashion’s never failing caprice requires that bodices and over draperies be-of the thinnest, most ; open mesh “aces and chiffon. Colors selected with regard to the ‘model's peculiar type of beauty were jinstructive. A girl with drab gold hair spoke hard al desepedilecttne uanetay 80 being its net over dress and ‘|3 U. S. ARMY OFFICERS gtry is so fond of an army as he was EXCLUDED FROM HOTEL Minneapolis Citizen Informs Garrison of Insult to Soldiers Because They Wear Serv- ice Uniform. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Secretary Garrison is wondering today if the coun- led to believe on his recent inspection trip. Everywhere Garrison went he was assured of the hearty admiration that the army commanded, but today a let- ter awakened a suspicion that he may have been the victim of a general de- sire to please him. The communi-ation was from a resi- dent_of Minneapolis detailing how thre» army officers from Fort Snelling were refused accommodations by the hotels at Rochester, Minn., because they wore the service uniform. The letter has disturbed Secretary Garrison’s equanimity. He is anxious to discover whether the incident is an isolated one or whether all the pro- testations he heard were spurious. PRIMARY ELECTIONS IN PEN ict pase IA PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.—Primary elections «were held throughout Penn- Sylvania today for the noMination of candidates to fill two places on the State Superior Court bench and to name candidates for other judicial and mu- nicipal offices, A feature of the primaries is the try- out of the primary and honpartisan ballot laws, enacted by the last legisla- ture.

INDUSTRIAL FARM CROPS, RAISED BY BOYS, BRING $483 Quarterly Report .Shows Profit as a Result of the Labors of Child Inmates. SEASON NOT FAVORABLE System of Putting Children in Private Families Praised by Guardians’ Board. A profit of $483 was realized by the sale of the products from the Indus- trial School farm at Ft. Bellefontaine, Mo., according to the quarterly report of the Board of Children’s Guardians to Mayor Keil. The farm is worked by boys from the Industrial School, under the direc- tion of Superintendent Major of the In- dustrial School. It has taken the place of the bakery, which was formerly con. ducted at the school and from which bread was furnished to other city insti- tutions. Wheat Was Main Crop. The report says that most of this year’s profit was realized from the wheat, although the drouth almost destroyed the crops. With better cli- matic conditions next year the school farm hopés to make a better showing. The boys also worked in the gar- dens, adjoining the school at Virginia avenue and Osage street, and while no profit is announced, the report says that plenty of corn, tomatoes, peaches and grapes were raised for the use of the inmates of the school. The report says that 86 boys from the Industrial School have been Placed in private homes. This makes a total of 58 now placed out by the board. This system of putting’ chil- dren in private families is considered @ good one, according to the report, as investigation shows that the boys in their new surroundings are happier and better cared for than if left in the Industrial School. Private Homes More Healthful. In the opinion of the board mem- bers, the health of the boys dan be better looked after in the homes of private familics while the boys be- come more ambitious under these con- ditions. Members of the Boare of Children’s Guardians have also taken up the task of finding who have deserted their families in an effort to have them provide for the deserted ‘ones. The report says that 120 children are now under control of the board. Weiper’s Drug Co., open all night Ninth and Pine streets. . GANAHL’S BODY RECOVERE Louisan Was Drowned in San Francisco Harbor. A disaptch to the Post-Dispatch Tuesday from San Francisco stated that the body of Lucien Ganahl, for- mer St. Loulsan, drowned three weeks ago in the harbor of San Francisco after walking from a steamboat deck supposedly in his sleep, had been re- covered. The Sheriff at Santa Cruz, Cal., wired to San Francisco that the body was washed ashore there. Ganahl was a nephew of Fidel Ga- nahl and of Nicholas LeBrun, St. Louis lumbermen. He left St. Louis several years ago and has been in business in Vancouver, B. C.

Many delegations of Republicans from the Tenth Congressional District recent- ly have waited upon William T. Findly, secretary of the Republican State Com- mittee, and asked him to move into the Tenth District to make the race for the Republican nomination for Congress against Richard Bartholdt next year. Several Republican organizations also have been in communication with Findly in reference to the matter. Bartholdt, in the Mulhali revelations before congressional committees, was shown to have had intimate re- lations with the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers. He barely es- caped defeat in last fall’s election. Some Republican leaders are said to have reached the conclusion that it would be wise to nominate a new candidate next year. Findly made the race for Congress in the Eleventh District several years &aZz0, but was defeated by a narrow margin by Patrick F. Gill. He said Tuesday he had not determined definitely wheth- er he would establish a residence in the Tenth District, or remain in the Eleventh District and make the race there against William L. Igoe, Demo- crat, who expects to be nominated for re-election. e “The matter of making the race against Congressman Bartholdt for the nomination has been broached to me sev- eral times,”’ said Findly. “I shall run for Congress in one of the two districts— Tenth or Bleventh. I rather think I could make it interesting for Dr. Bar- tholdt in the Tenth District, and I may decide to give it a trial.” Republican leaders fear that Bartholdt, if renominated, would lose the entire labor vote by reason of his affiliations with the National Association of Manu- facturers, which waged war upon labor wnions for years. a | Plows, 521 Olive st., Matinee Luncheon, served from 2:30 to 6 Pp. m. SINGLE TAX FIGHT BEGUN A campaign to defeat the proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of the initiative and referendum in matters of taxation will be started in the assembly hall of the Central Li- brary at Thirteenth and Olive streets’ Wednesday night. Notices for a conference to outline plans of campaign have been sent out by S. L. Moser, secretary of the Equi- table Taxation League. The proposed amendment was authorized by the last Legislature to prevent the resubmission of the single tax amendment, voted on and defeated in November, of last year. Moser says the people became fright- ened over the single tax amendment, and did not give it careful considera- tion. The campaign will be educationa) in its nature, and many newspaper ar- ticles will be distributed throughout the State. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of the State in November, 1914. BURGLARS CUT CLOTHES Burglars at the home of V.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 16.—The Reno (Nev.) passenger business has decreased almost one-half since the reformed di- vorce laws became effective. In figuring their accounts for the first half of the year, two transcontinental railroad lines operating. through WNe- braska discovered that the passenger business with the Nevada city had dropped 40 per cent since the new di- vorce laws become operative. Under the old laws of Nevada a di- vorce could be procured after a residence lof 90 days, and at’certain times the pas- |, senger business on account of Reno was high.

Winkleman Has Tested Plant Juice and Tells Here What a Grand Remedy It Is. Here is a testimonial from a well- known and highly respected citizen of St. Louis. Mr, R. Winkleman was born and raised here and has lived for sixty years in this city. He was with a chemical company here for twenty-five years and is at present employed by the city. He has many friends who will read what he has to say with interest. Mr. Winkle- man says: : ‘*T think Plant Juice is the most wonderful medicine of the times. It has really worked wonders for me, I would not take ten dollars a bottle for what I have if I had to dé with- out it. I have suffered for a long time from gastritis and general stom- ach trouble and have tried so many things without getting relief that I am only too glad to recommend Plant Juice to other sufferers.’’ It ts not what we say, but what Plant Juice does, that makes it so popular and so much discussed.

The ordinance was referred to a committee. yesterday in a clump of bushes near the New York Central Railroad tracks at Hastings-on-Hudson, a New York suburb. A hole in the man’s skul] and an improvised slungshot lying near the body left little doubt that he was mur- dered. The police bent their energies to find- ing a woman whose behavior near the scene led to the discovery of the body. A path worn through the tall grass from the street to the thicket. where the body lay indicated that someone had made frequent visits to the spot since the man was killed, a month or more ago. Although the elements had left little but a skeleton, the Coroner described the man as 5 feet 4 inches tall, weight about 135 pounds, light hair. The cloth- ing was of the best quality. Close by the body the police picked up a woman’s tan kid glove, new and |} unsofied, and a slungshot made from the silk lining torn from a coat sleeve and filled with stones. VARIETY OF STYLES AT SCHAPERS’ OPENING Schaper Brothers Tuesday began their twentieth fall opening, the third to be celebrated in their new store on Washington avenue, Dighth and Ninth streets. Every department of the em- porium presented striking features, but the most important one was an exclusive line of imported ready-to- wear garments, The -store was decorated through- out with autumn leaves and palms. The opening will continue tomorrow and is expected to form ‘one of the most notable events in the history of the concern. Special effort was concentrated on a plan to show practical wares for practical people. Articles, the price of whith are within reach of only the favored few, did not ocupy such con- spicuous space. The firm’s buyers searched the world’s best markets for contributions to this opening. An enormous crowd of purchasers and spectators filled the store throughout the day. The women’s ready-to-wear section on the third floor proved especially attractive. Substantial finery was dis- played there along with imported gowns and beautiful suits, from the dressy plain-tailored to the most ex- treme novel effects. The new three- piece suits made of brocaded Pau vel- vet, trimmed in chiffon and gold lace, seemed to be in favor with the shop- pers, as were the brocaded Char- meuse suits. Elaborate street and party dresses, afternoon and opera coats and hundreds of the new style skirts came in for their share of ad- miration. In the millfnery section hundreds of creations from the cleverest Puro- pean and New York artists were on exhibition. The stock was so exten- sive and inexpensive that it seemed that almost any taste’ could be suited. Similar completeness characterized the misses’ and children’s garment section, The infants’ section was stocked thoroughly with everything a baby can use from the age of 1 year to 6. The women’s muslin underwear and negligee department contained many attractive features. The dress goods section and displays of women’s neckwear, trimmings, silks, embroid- |} erles, laces, wash goods, hosiery and gloves proved especially interesting. The stock of ready-to-wear gar- ments represented an expenditure of $50,000. The greater portion of the garments have been modeled after the 1913 European fashions and are the same as are being displayed in New York and other Eastern citles. To stimulate interest among the department heads in decorating for the opening the firm offered valuable prizes which will be awarded at the close of Tuesday’s business. The su- perintendents of the various depart- ments were permitted to use their own judgment in arranging exhibi- tions of stock and asa result the six floors of the big building presented a rich appearance. The rain seemed to have little ef- fect on the enthusiasm of the visitors. Everyone seemed delighted with the sight that greeted them from both sides of the many aisles and expres- sions of admiration were heard throughout the establshment. years a respected resident of Vallejo, was arrested here.

It said the 150 delegates present cheered Con- gressman Sherwood when he advised them to petition Congress for increase in pay and betterment of conditions in the department. Then it quoted Sher- wood as follows: “I see by your program that one-of the subjects you are to discuss is penny postage. Rather, I would have you men who are the real brains of the greatest working force under the national Gov- ernment evolve some, plan to equalize the salaries of the men who do the work of the nation with the salaries now be- ing paid to the loafers in our standing army and navy.”’ Plows, 621 Olive st., Matinee Luncheon, served from 2:30 to 6 p. m.

TURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1913. CY BILL NO DEPARTURE FROM GOLD STANDARD Glass‘ Denies Bryan Wrote ' “Lawful Money”’ Phrase Into His Measure. IT FOLLOWS OTHER LAWS Framer of Bill Tells How Re- demption Provision Was Considered. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—‘‘The at- tempt to make it appear that there has been, on the part of the framers of the currency bill, any intention to depart from the gold standard is the veriest nonsense,” said Chairman Carter Glass of the House Banking and Currency ‘Committee and father of the bill, tu the Post-Dispatch correspondent. Glass wrote “lawful money’’ into his bill. He declared that the charge that Secretary Bryan had done so was false, }4s Bryan had takén no active part in the framing of the pending bill. Asked to give a history of the phrase in his bill providing for the redemption of notes in “gold or lawful money,” Glass said: ‘The bill, as originally introduced in the House by me, June 26, required that Federal reserve notes, when presented for redemption at the Treasury Depart- ment at Washington, should be re- demed in gold. The Federal Reserve Board was authorized to require of the Federal reserve banks the main- tenance of a five per cent gold fund for this purpose, but the section provided at the same time that when such notes were presented for redemption at any *Fedéral reserve bank they might be redeemed in lawful money. In the same draft of the bill reserves were required to be held in gold or lawful money. This was before the.bill had been considered by the committee. Provision Ix Reiuserted. “Subsequently the bill was considered in detail and discussed, provision -by provision,* by the majority menibers of | the committee and in the course of the consideration, which covered four or five weeks, the provisions of the re- démption features of the bill were sev- eral times aitered, but always the re- serve required to be held by the banks against the notes was ‘gold or lawful money.’ No authorized print of the curency bill ever contained any other provision for the redemption of the notes. “It is true that at one stage of the consideration by the_majority members of the committee, Representativé Otis Twihgo of Arkansas moved to strike out the words ‘lawful money’ wherever they occurred and substitute ‘gold _ certifi- cates,’ which was done; but at the very next meeting the same gentleman moved to reconsider his own proposition and reinsert the words ‘lawful money,’ which Was done. “As it appears now in the .bill, the provision follows the language of the national bank act in the matter of the redemption of national bank notes which the new reserve notes are to displace. “The pending bill also adopts the ex- act phraseology of the Vreeland-Aldrich act for the redemption of the $500,000,- 000 of emergency notes authorized to be issued under that act and follows like- wise the language of the bill proposed by the Monetary Commission for the redemption of the notes of the Aldrich reserve association. Not Against Gold Standard. “So it is seen that the whole attemp*+ to make it appear that there has been on the part of the framers of the pres- ent bill an intention to depart from the gold standard is tommy rot. The bill expressly authorizes the Federal Re- serve Board to require Federal reserve banks to maintain a 5 per cent gold fund at Washington for the redemption of Federal reserve notes. “Do thoge who affect to see in the provisions of the pending bill an attack upon the gold standard think that ex- 'Seriator Aldrich or ex-Representative Vreeland was against the gold stand- ard? “The fact is, that the note section of the bill is vastly sounder than the note section. of. the so-called Aldrich bill, for tne reason that the reserve notes of the Aldrich seheme were permitted to be held as reserve money by individual banks, whereas national banks are not permitted by the pending bill to count as reserve money the notes issued under authority of the national Reserve Board.”’ ‘ WOMEN’S HAT SHOW ON AT SONNENFELD’S Fresh from the boulevards of gay Paris, ‘the West End of London and New York’s Fifth avenue are the hats and gowns exhibited at the Sonnenfeld store, 610 Washington avenue. In this atore at the opening of the fall and winter exhibition are all the latest styles to please St. Louisans. From.the exhibition ft will be seen that the natural tendency of the nations who set the styles for women is for smaller shapes. So interested are wom- en in these latest styles of foreign and domestic design, that, despite the rain of Monday and Tuesday, the store was crowded with enthusiastic admirers every hour. One style that nptnniith considerable attention is that with the chin strap, Any man might well wish someone would introduce the same scheme for It not only adds to the general beautifying effect that ft gives milady, but it keeps her héadgear safely in place without an extra use of hat pins in the months of the year when high winds are apt to be prevalent at any moment. Of ail the hats designed on this order there fe neme thet acrracts mere atten tion than the one of a mahogany hue.. The coloring is artistic and unique. Women say that for years no sucir in- novation has been made that will suretv meet, with general approval. The shade is new. The hat ts trimmed with’ what has the appearance of the choicest fruit, peaches and strawberries, that have the appearance of California bloom. Ribbons of the.same hue as the hat keep it tightly fastened under the wear- er’s chin. These ribbons are of velvet of the most delicate texture. The whole effect is of t e most perfect harmony in the cleverness of une tinting. In all the collection at Sonnenfeld’s it is easy for anyone to discern at a cursory examination that black is popu- lar still—or at least that black is used in velvet and other trimmings to relieve any loud effect that might be caused by brilliant flower trimmings. There are many sailor effects in na - ont mam = ea latest creations, In the other styles the brims of the hats are rolled higher than usual in the back. There are black silk plush designs that are sure to be- come popular. One of these has inverted green wings divided by a tall black aigrette and another by mink fur. Although these creations bear the name of the most famous designers ‘in Paris, the New York creations are not overshadowed. In fact, there are many St. Louis women Who declare that they prefer the designs of the East to those of foreign origin... All the hats, how- ever, that the Sonnenfeld firm is show- ing now are plain of trimming and de- void of any gaudiness, whether designed in this country or abroad.

Mass.. Sept. 16.—Frost was still whitening the greensward of the famous Country Club course when the first. balls were driven across the old polo field today in the nineteenth open golf championship of the United States. The field today was iimited to half the en- try list which this year reached a record of 170. In those pairs in which amateurs and pro- fessionals play together the former keeps the card without the assistance of an official. Besides these, interest was aroused by the presence of Vardon, Ray, Reld, Tellier and other foreign players, there was considerable speculation at the start today as to the prob- able standing on Friday of the three Amer- ican stars, all former caddies, John J. Me- Dermott of Atlantic City. present title hold- er: Tom McNamara of Boston and M. J. Brady of Wollaston, all of whom played in Fritish championships at Hoy Lake early in the year. The stars will play a double round of the course and then wait a day while the second division of the field has its Innings tomorrow. On Thure@ay the best 32 scores in each day will start in the customary 72 medal play contest for the ohamplonship. o*-~—. Cy Morgan Was Sold for $10,000 When His ““Wing”’ Was Unfit for Pitching CINCINNATI, Sept. 16.—Having completed the work Gone with the drafting of players by major league clubs from minor leagues, the National Baseball Commission today turned Ha attention to reutine matters. One of the cases to come before the com- mission is that of ‘Cy’ Morgan, whe was sold to Cincinnati by Kangas City when it is alleged his arm was lame and he was utterly unfit for work. The price agreed upon for Morgen was $10,000, half of which has al- ready been paid. Presiden: August Herrmann of the Cincin- nati club, as soon as he heard of Morgan’s alleged condition. held up the second payment and brought the case to the attention of the commission with the view of obtaining a re fund of the money already given for the player. President Tebeau of the Kansas City club will appear before the commission te defend his action tn the case and Morgana will aiso be heard by the comission. —_—@—-—-——. TODAY’S DOUBLE-HEADER OFF; GIANTS WEDNESDAY The double-header scheduled for Tues- day afternoon at Robison Field between the Cardinals and Superbas was called aff at noon on account of wet grounds. That means that two of the scheduled games between Brooklyn and St. Louls never will reach a decision. The champion Giants open a three- game series were > Browns Draft 30 Players but Must Fire 20 at Once League Allows Only 35 | Manager Rickey’s Task of Naming the Ones to Be Let Go Is Difficult One—Cardinals Have Bad Luck, Drawing but ‘Four Men. By W. J. Omnia D ‘to the 16 major league clubs. Exactly 106 players were drafted by | the majors from the minors, and the Browns’ share came nigh being one- third of whole. Cincinnati was next to the Browns, getting 11, while the Chicago Americans copped 10, with Detroit getting nine. The Cardinals, unluckiest of all, drew only four. Manager Rickey of the Browns faces a Herculean task today when he must cut down his squad so as to get within the limit of 3 players allowed by the National Agreement. He must fire to- day at least % of the 30 players ob- tained yesterday in the drawing. How- ever, he is fortunate in having the pick of so many promising recruits. What players Rickey will retain is hard to determine. Indeed, the new manager will scratch ‘his conk many times before he blue pencils the list and edits it down to reasonable proportions. However, the Browns are in quest of a shortstop And he undoubtedly will retain: Bisland, shortstop of the At- ‘lanta Southern League pennant winners. Bisland batted .308 for the season just closed and. will join the Browns in Philadelphia Wednesday. ‘ Hosp, shortstop of the Venice Coast League team, a hard hitter who also was sought by Manager Huggins of the Cardinals. Pete Compton, outfielder, from Kansas City (A. A.) Club. Messenger, outfielder, Birmingham. James, pitcher, from Portland (Northwestern League) Club. Rumler, catcher and outfielder, of Burlington, Io. Rumler is hit- ting .420, having 23 homers and 26 three-baggers for the season. Who the other players retained by the Browns will be is a matter of conjecture. Rickey probably will not decide until the last minute. Cards Are Unlucky: The Cardinals were not nearly so fortunate, getting only one man from Class A. He’s Pitcher Hagerman of Denver, a player who was with the Boston Red Sox at the start of the season. Hagerman is considered thé best pitcher in the Western League, and Manager Huggins will give him a thorough trial. The other three players secured by the Cards are Catcher Roche of Cal- gary, Canada, Shortstop Nash of Waterbury and Outielder Miller of Evansville, Ind. Manager Huggins satd Tuesday that he was glad to land Miller from Evansville. “He is recommended as quite a player,” said Huggins, “and if he lives up to his advance notices he should do us some good. Roche also is a promising youngster. [I have looked him over and believe he will fit in on the Cardinals.” Huggins says he filed drafts on 20 Class AA players, but picked only from AME FORTUNE giggled on Branch Rickey’s maiden managerial venture Monday in Cincinnati, when the Browns won 30 minor league players in the draft, drawing more than one-fourth of all the players elevated PLAYERS SECURED BY LOCAL CLUBS IN DRAFT ) BROWNS.

We've got to get some major League players to get out of last place.”’ Rumler a Good One. Scout Charley Barrett thinks that the Browns landed a gem in Rumler, the Burlington (lo.) recruit. “He .«@ the best hitting catcher I ever saw," says Barrett, “and I think he'll do itn the Outfield. He's put up along the lines of Gus Williams, bas plenty of speed and is a natural hitter. He was with the Nebraska League eanry this season, but Manager Hayden of Burlington grabbed him in August. He broke down all the fences in the Central League.” Manager Rickey of the Browns will depart Tuesday night for Philadelphia, where he will take charge of his team.

LONDON, Sept. 16.—A workman this morning found on a sidewalk practically the entire pearl necklace, valued at $650,000, which was stolen July 16 in transit by mail from Paris to London. The man was going to work in High- bury, a northern district of London, when he noticed the pearls: lying in a heap. On picking them up he found there were 58 He took them to the nearest ‘police station, where they were At ‘once recognizéd as part of the fa- mous necklace ftom which only one pearl is now missing. Sept. 2 five men—three Englishmen and two Austrians—were arrested when trying to dispose of some of the pearls in London. They are believed by the police to belong to a notortous inter- national gang of thieves. _ Reward to Go to Workman, A reward of $50,000, which was offered for the return of the jewels, will prob- ably go entirely to the workman. The necklace, said to be the most val- vable*in the world, was in transit be- tween two dealers when stolen. Ru- mors indicated that it was destined for Mrs. W. K.. Vanderbilt. The workman who found the jewels informed the police they were carelessly wrapped in a piece of tissue paper. He said he first passed them by, as he thought the package was merely a ball of crumpled waste paper. He kicked it and felt something inside and then decided to take a closer look, Whieh revealed the jewels. Originally @1 Graduated Pearls.

He was reticent and gave little information concerning: his career, except that he was a Cornell graduate, A book contdining his writ- ings was found beside the body. the title ‘“‘Father Time,’’ were the fol- lewing lines: “Step by step he closer drew Till I felt his breath upon me-— Till I saw him raise his scythe with aim unerring, Then, like a beast in his last struggle,’ Gathered I my strength together, And I hurled myself upon him, Like a beast upon his slayer.

The seals on the orig- inal package, when it was delivered to the London dealer, did not appear to have been disturbed in any way. but when it was opened it was found to contain instead of the jewels only a number of pieces of French sugar. Later today the package of pearls found by the workman was taken by him, in company with a number of de- tectives, to police headquarters at Scot- land Yard, where Max Mayer, the dia- mond merchant who owns them, was waiting and immediately identified them.

Hawes proposes, very sensibly we think, that the Board of Agriculture estab- lish State kennels to breed Scotch collies for free distribution, just as the State distributes game fish, pheasants and Hungarian partridges. Blooded dogs would lend distinction to Mis- Mr. Hawes believes the collie would generally improve the canine strain, gradually displacing the mongrel souri, just as the blooded mule does. everywhere. To use Mr. Hawes’ description: “On the farm the collie almost takes the place of a man. He is the night watchman, the playfel- low for the children, the companion of the farm- er and on stock farms can take the place of a boy in handling cattle, sheep and hogs.” To this recommendation Gen. Lee of Boone County has added that no other dog possesses the strat- esy of the collie in driving an obstreperous old cow counter to her preconceived ideas. It might have been foreseen that Col. Culpep- per, veteran breeder of the famous Wampus: hounds, would take issue with Mr. Hawes and Gen. Lee respecting the strain of dog which Missour! ought to promulgate. Says Col. Cul- pepper: It grieves me to differ with Col. Hawes and Gen. Lee, for whom I entertain feelings of profound respect and admiration, but I deem it my duty to the fair State of Missouri to urge the Secretary of Agriculture to think twice before adopting the collie in preference of the well-bred hound as the official dog of eur Commonwealth. Personal modesty forbids my Mention of a particular breed, but I will vouchsafe that a really high-bred hound not ently equals the collie in intelligent compan- fonship and the other social, domestic and utilitarian proclivities, but that as a sporting Gog he far surpasses the strategic per- fermance which Gen. Lee has described. Did the General ever hear of a collie treeing and subsequently tackling a coon, much less run- ning a fox? The clean strain hound’s sport- ing propensities only begin where the collie’s leave off. He will tree any kind of varmint fram a chipmunk to a panther, and, as Col. Ratney demonstrated in Africa, lief tackle a lion as run a rabbit. The burden of proof is thus put upon the col- lie’s sponsors by the strong prima facie case} whioh Col. Culpepper has made for the hound, although we must allow for his natural bias. If the collie’s champions feel there is anything more to be said for it we shall gladly accord them a full hearing. The question is a momen- tous one, which, soon or late, must be brought — to every Missourian. = = oa, es, How will Arkansas, where “Cotn” Harvey is running for Congress, take to the blackboard oa the Socratic mated oF on the stump? REGULATION AND EDUCATION. The Missouri State Public Service Commission may be able to educate itself thoroughly from the data it has called for from all public utility corporations in the State. It is their interest to. answer promptly, honestly and fully. They also are being educated in a very important par- ticular. They have learned they are subject to public regulation and that the regulation: itself is subject to enforcement. The public, too, ts being educated in this con- nection. What the public is now waiting to learn is whether the commission will regulate the companies or the companies will reculate the commission. . i i -~ After years of study of the problem Kansas de- cides that the way to deal with the hated mid- dleman is. not to abolish him but to educate him.

There is another matter on which the public will quickly make up its mind unless Mayor Kiel and his committee forestall it by quicker action in the right direction. The: administra- tion has made two false starts. Both of the un- sound bridge propositions. have had the city hall’s sanction. Over one of them the Mayor has shown such enthusiasm as to propose a jun- ket of investigation to Chicago. If this proposal is carried out, St. Louis will feel like suggesting an inquiry into the administration’s official san- ity. An administration capable of celebrating and advertising such folly might render a better service to St. Louis by junketing to Anna, Jack- sonville or Kankakee. Mayor Kiel and his associates should lose no time retracing their false steps and getting back onto the main track of the bond issue. There is but’ one businesslike course for a self-respecting city. St. Louis will complete its own bridge when a clean and reasonable proposition is pre- sented. = = * i i The expert hired to give a legal opinion on the scheme to mix up*the east side bridge approach with a land speculation is sick, but not nearly so sick as the scheme itself. = = * —_— a ow.

It shows that, as the prices of all important arti- cles of food have been rising since 1900, they average now within a fraction of 60 per cent higher than the average for the last 10 years of the nineteenth century. When this means that it costs 60 cents on the dollar more now to feed a family than it did then, certainly not over a fourth of this can he accounted for by “natural causes,” such as the increase of population at a rate greater than the increase of the food supply. If one-fourth more of the increase is allowed on the theory that prices were formerly too low: we still have half this enormous increase unaccounted for except as a result of bad politics in business and bad business in politics. This is the only explana- tion possible, but it is sufficient. -— a The Republiens eleven is stil ramming the Democratic eleven’s line in the lower house at Washington, and still being thrown back each time for a loss.

He doesn’t say what is New /York’s mental attitude toward its police, but thinks New York’s Police Department is “fairly representa- tive of the citizenship,” which is,more likely to be true than to be complimentary. “Whenever,” hé says, “11,000 absolutely honest men can be gathered by a civil service. examina- tion there’ will be no need of a police force.” With just what degree of force does that orphic utterance apply to St. Louis, which ‘spends $2,- 000,000 a year on police and $100,000 a year on ite Board of Health? Big cities impose upon humanity conditions afiverse to the growth of unselfishness. The competition for existence, to say nothing of ‘the race for luxury, is far keener in the big city than in smaller towns or in the country. Yet the altruistic spirit, and, even better, the spirit of justice, does steadily gain ground in our cities. One of the best signs of the times is the way the American people are taking their city governments out of the hands of spoilamen and reorganizing them on a basis of business efficiency. With due regard, too, for tlie grow- ing need to employ community ‘resources and powers to protect the less competent — évils they cannot themselves forefend. Dr. Rainsford, famous New York vet said the other day that the police systems of the world are all absurdly behind the times; that they exist to curb and restrain evil, when they ought to be mainly active in stimulating and developing good. He would exchange the nega- tive for the positive principle. What he said is true, but has it not also been true of our whole attitude toward government? It has been too exclusively conceived of as a means by which men can be prevented from doing whatever it is they would most like to do; as an adjunct to our national scheme of morals, rather than as a business agency, competent, if rightly directed, to help'make living here on earth easier and more enjoyable. Indeed, it is suspected the whole modern trend in our govern- ments is away from the old-fashioned idea of making folks good by law, and toward the newer idea of encouraging goodness by making it easy and attractive. Very likely you have noticed that the cities are spending less money for reform schools and other social strait-jackets, and more money for playgrounds and public baths. Most people are born with decent instincts; the job is to keep them decent, and it looks as if society was about to decide that this can be aone more easily and at léss cost by encouraging the city’s youngsters to be happy at orderly play than it can by using a big police force to repress their play instincts. We are prepared to believe that when any city has provided all its boys. and girls with clean, ample, attractive playgrounds, under the management of men-and women who can lead instead of driving, it will be found pos- sible to dispense with fully one-half of the pres- ent expense for policemen. = = i. i A LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Theater Prices. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The “Quo Vadis” pictures now being shown at the Olympic had beén on view in Chicago for per- 7 "haps six months prior to their production in this eitx. I was in Chicago the week of Aug. 26, and went to see these same ‘pictures at the Whitney Qpera House. The prices at the matinee were 25 eents for any seat in the house excepting the boxes, they were 0¢ cents; all seats were reserved. The Whitney seats 700 people and there were very few empty seats at the rerformance I attended. I had a good seat on the first floor for my quarter. Now in St. Louis this same production advertise their prices at 25 cents and 50 cents. I went to the Olympic and asked for three 26-cents seats, a8 I wanted to take my wife and daughter. When the pasteboards were handed me I was surprised to note that they were in the seventh row in the balcony. I asked the gentleman if that was the best he could do, wondering if the rest of the house had been sold out three days in advance of the day I wanted the tickets for. The man in the box ofice said “Those are the best seats we have for a quarter; anything nearer the front or on the first floor is 50 cents.” I think that 60 cents is too much for any moving picture show. I kept my quarter seats, but am sorry I went as the seats were so poor we had very litle pleasure in viewing the pictures. In passing I wish to say that it seems to be the rule in the St. Louis theaters to sell the poor seats first, as I have gotten poorer seats by buy- ne them several days in advance, than some peo- ple I know who bought theirs on the day of the performance.

He repeatedly took passage upon ships carrying meat from Australia and other Pacific ports to Europe. He was told that a ship carrying such a cargo either from the Pacific or the east coast of South America reaches Hn- gland every day in the year. There were no such ships carrying meat to the United States. Mr. Howe looked for them, and asked for them. He was told there were none. Th. tariff on meat made it unprofitable to ship it here. Mr. Howe doesn’t say that his politics were when he started, ut the reader is left to infer that he returned a very good Democrat. Pos- sibly he went away a Democrat—but that doesn’t matter. What is import- ant is the vast quantity of meat he sew. Almost the whole of Australia has no other industry of any conse- quence. Sheep fairly depress that com- modious isie in the sea. Mr. Howe had no idea there were sO many sheep. He came back rather clamorous for free mutton, that we might get some of that Australian supply. Meat is on the free list in the new tariff bill. If Mr. Howe’s economics are sound, it will be much cheaper than it has been. True, the economics of the Democratic party must be sound, aa well, but we prefer to hold some iIn- dividual responsible.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch. A specimen of the terminal monopoly is afforded by St. Louis, where the raiiread bridge crossing the Mississippi has controlled egress and ingress to and from the Bast. To escape its exactions the city has built a municipal free bridge, but iike our market house, the bridge has no approaches. The Terminal Association illustrates the entire feasibility of joint use of bridges and tracks. Sixteen railroads use this bridge; but their joint use is under the close eway of the Terminal Association, which excludes both com- petition and new lines and maintains excessive rates. Travelers to the 6x- position 10 years ago will probably re- member the special charge per passen- ger for traveling over the bridge im- posed on every person in addition to the cost of the ticket. The freight rate over the bridge has caused indus- tries to locate largely in East St. Louis. There ts now a campaign for the voting of bonds to complete the mu- nicipal bridge and buy en approach. The raliroad influence against it is re- inforced by suspicion of those who would have the work in charge. But there is little doubt that one of the causes that handicapped St. Louis in ita last rece with Obieage has been the | grip of this monopoly on its trane®por- tation. OLD SOCRATES’ CHAUTAUQUA. rem the New York Evening Post. Those who are making merry over the appearance of Mr. Bryan on the Chautauqua platform between a musical comedy trio and a troupe of acrobats might recall that the most splendid educatidnal talks recorded in history, talks in which the universe, and life, and @eath, and truth, and justice were discussed with incomparable vigor and beauty, took place under something like the Bryan conditions: We refer, of course, to the Chautauqua work of So- crates, as described in the Dialogues of Plato. What was the Greek sympo- sium at which Secrates was so frequent- ly among those present? It was high philosophy, relieved by vaudeville per formances. Socrates may very con- cetvably have nailed a pet argument of Thrasymachus tn the intertude between a turn by an Egyptian dancing girl and a Phrygian flute player.

This "week's new low record for New Haven shares following the wreck of last Tuesday has raised an interesting rpoint as to how railroads are affected financially by such accidents. New York Central’s Park avenue wreck occurred on Jan. 8 1902. That year the company settled property and personal injuries aggregat- ing $882,000, compared with $768,000 the year before. By the end of 188 those settlements, however, reached $1,002,000, and the figures gradually increased un- til $2,466,000 was paid out in 197. After that there Was a gradual decline, indi- cating that most of the claims were set- tled in one way or another within five years. Pennsylvania hag a good record, de- spite its occasional wrecks. Last year Was an average year, with $666,000 charged off for damage to freight, $19,031 is an enviable record. For the same period New York Central’s emetie a including low costs, were $2,068,000. vania’s mileage, charged off $1,129,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1912, in- cluding $346,000 for damage to freight, $574,000 for injuries to persons. The forth- coming annual report for 1918 doubtless will show a heavy increase in those during the pest year, in which # per- sons were killed and 187 injured. of any suffered by a railroad as a ré- sult of accidents.

ENGINEERS. o 2 those who have little information it and some small degree of curiosity regarding the advantage of college technical training, a tlipping from the record of the fourth class graduating. from the technical department at Dart- mouth will be of interest: Within two weeks its 13 members were actively engaged in professional work and widely scattered—two in Maine, six in Massachusetts, one in Pennsylvania, two in Virginia, one in New York State, and one in Porto Rico. Dartmouth is not a large college. Its technological school is not especial! well known. To a certain extent, there. | fore, demand for its graduates must be a sort of overflow from that made upon larger institutions, such as the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology an: Cornell. Yet, says the Washington Times, each of the 13 men from this one of its classes was hard at work before the ink had more than dried on his diploma. And it really happens 'to be the proud boast of the larger insti- tutions that graduation with merit car- ries with it the practical assurance of an immediate post. ce “GOODBYE, SUMMER” Drawn for the Post-Dispatch by.

It is an awful shock to a married man to discover that his wife has so little sense of humor that she believes all he tells her. When you hear a girl’s father insisting that the man she marries must be a money maker, her mother insisting that he must be moral and the girl insisting that he must be fascinating you wonder whether they are looking for a man or a miracle. The man who considers the love game a little sinecure is apt to find the marriage ties a little insecure. If married men would tell their wives that “half” of their experiences which they keep to themselves, instead of the. half they usually récount, those “long, dull evenings” en famille would be considerably enlivened. No, dearie, not “all the nice men are married,” but most of the mar- ried men are so NICE. A wife takes the kinks out of a man, puts passe- menterie on his disposition and gives his grouches a chance to work themselves off outwardly instead of going into his system. “4 oe. =\\NNSRE For good dealers GLOVES" Our French.

Won From Him by His Aged Father. ‘ S eeaenanaTinateE The divarce stit of Jacob Nieder- hauser Jr> against Effie Niederhauser, filed in' St. Charles Monday, marks, the unhappy outcome of a strange matri- monial tangle. Niederhauser and his aged father wére prosperous land owners on Mis- sourl Point, in St. Charles County. Aft- er Mrs. Jacob Niederhauser Sr. died, three years ago, Miss Pearl E. Windes of Alton was employed as housekeeper. Jacob Niederhauser Jr. fell in love wit? the young woman and hoped for a time that he could, persuade her to’ marry him, but soon found that he had a rival in his own father. The odd con- test went on until, a year ago, Nieder- hauser Sr., then 8) years old, married Miss Windes. Prenuptial Contract Made. On the day of the marriage, a@ pre- nuptial contract was filed in St. Charles. It provided that, at: the déath of the aged husband, the wife should become , owner of 33 acres of land, a horse and buggy, the furniture of the homestead, and $100 cash. On the wedding day, Effie Windes of Alton, the bride’s younger sister, visited the homestead for the first time, and the younger Niederhauser-: fell in love with her. Last November they were married. Through these two marriages, it came about that Mrs. Effie Niederhauser’s father-in-law was also her brother-in- law, and that her sister was her step- mother-in-law: These complicated rela- tionships amused the neighbors, but they did not bring happiness in the Nieder- hauser household, Elder Niederhauser Dies. The younger Mrs, Niederhauser, her husband now charges, soon became jeal- ous of her sister, and accused Jacob Jr. of being still in love with the woman whom his father married. | June 27 last, Jacob Niederhauser Sr. died suddenly. A coroner’s inquest was held, and it was decided that his death ad been caused by morphine tablets, taken to overcome. insomnia. It was testified that he had bought the tablets in-Alton, and that he was in the habit of taking them. When the funeral was held, June 30, Jacob Niederhauser Jr. says his wife refused to-attend, and, when he went to the funeral, she picked up her belong- ings and left. Niederhauser’s suit will be heard at the November term of Cour. : x, HOLDS THREE EMPLOYES RESPONSIBLE: FOR WRECK Coroner Mix in New Haven In- quiry Finds That the Com- pany’s Rules Were Violated.

De Pale ee OE Ch ore smash na Py pF a ‘ a4 Small Device. ‘ An> ingenious steel spring device for fishing nickels out of the cash boxes in street cars was found in possession of Conductor James E. Ressinger. of the Page line, when he was arrested Mon- day evening on complaint of United Railways officials. By using the devire Reissinger, told detectives, he could snare 20 nickels a day. , The nickel snare was made-of a piece of heavy, flexible clock spring, 14 inches long. One end was wrapped for a han- die, and at the other end the spring was looped. The looped end of the spring was inserted in the cash box, and nick- els were trapped in the loop into which they fit snugly. Ressinger’s system was to allow about 20 nickels to accumulate in the third hopper, and as he neared the end of the line, with but few passengers on the car, he would fish the nickels out. He said he could have obtained a great many more pickels but for the fact that he had to use care to prevent the passengers from seeing him. He said he shielded the box behind a newspaper. Ressinger is 39 years old,. married, A warrant charging petty larceny has been issued against him. / GOT OFFICE, BOUGHT HAT Mustard Vowed He’d Wear Old Derby Till Appointed. . MILTON, Del., Sept. 1,—John ‘B. Mustard of Milton has purchased. a new hat and incidentally he has also taken charge of the postoffice as the regularly appointed postmaster. His appointment by President Wilson and his purchase of a new hat are coin. cident because of a vow made last year. Mustard was active in the cam- paign in November and during the height of the fight went all through this section working for the Demo- cratic ticket. Daring his trip he was twitted on his old derby hat, slightly used and considerably out of style. The fun kept up until Mustard announced that he expected to wear that hat until Woodrow Wilson was elected Presi- dent and he was appointed Postmas- ter of Milton. Mustard wore the hat continuously, not excepting Sundays, although there were many candidates for the Milton postmastership. When Mustard as- sumed office he walked into the build- ing, threw the old headgear on the floor and invited his friends to wit- ness the fact that he had en a new hat.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “Further profit taking caused a good deal of irregularity during the early trading today, but the market rallied well later with general advances in tha active shares. ‘‘Prices declined rather easily during the morning, and there were frequent rallies. Stocks were for a time offered freely on the advances. Buying of Read- ing continued, but the movement in this Stock, as in. Amalgamated Copper, was hardly bre seagget to excite outside sup- port for” the market as a whole. “The best prices of the day were made in the last hour, the market becoming fairly active on the laté rise. Canadian Pacific advanced over 4 points. “One development which depressed sentiment in the earlier trading-was the renewed decline in New Haven shares. This carried the stock to a new low level and excited a good deal of atten- tion. There was, however, no heavy selling of this stock and nothing de- veloped on which to base the decline axcept for the rumors that the roa‘ (might experience some difficulty in get- ting through its new scheme of financ- n &. “So far as these stories went they had little if any basis in fact. The road’s application will be passed upon in due course, but until a decision is actually given a recurrence of such rumors may be expected from time to time in con- nection with the effort to depress the shares. London Is a Buyer. “The strength displayed during the last hour of trading more than off- set the early irregularity. There was emilee good buying in the final trad- ng. “London was 2% moderate buyer of stocks on balanee here, and advices from the other side indicated that the foreign participation in our shares was increasing.

This demand naturaly shows it- self, however, in enlarged buying of high-grade bonds, which are still ob- Wtainable at prices which in normal years would be cglled great bargains. “There was good buying of invest- ment issues here, with fair purchases by. institutions which have bought late.

Bonds were steady on the issues mentioned. Local Money Market. While certain choice names have been taken at 5% per cent within the recent days, the fact that manyecountry insti- tutions formerly 6btained a uniform rate of 6 per cent on their leading lendings has in some instances restricted demand to paper carrying that rate, Outside institutions will take paper in fair voi- ume where good names bear the 6 per cent rate, but supplies on this character are constantly diminishing, nor,is there any intimation of an early change in this respect. Deposits generally seem to be well maintained by some of the outlying banks, and trust companies reporting steady gains. Collections have been reasonably satisfactory in the past week or two.
