"RES RATES WILL BE CUT 0 10 1 PER CENT Reduction in Missouri and Other States Fixed by Interstate Commerce Commission. JEFFERSON CITY; Dec. 30.—Under a new block system of fixing express rates laid down by the Interstate Com- merce Commission, which the express companies have asked all of the states to adopt, Missouri will secure a reduc- tion of from 10 to 15 per cent in ex- press rates as soon as the new rates can be put into effect after Feb. 1, 1914, when the interstate rates are effective. C. B. Bee, rate expert for the Pub- lic Service Commission, says upon 100- pound parcels the new rates will be from 15 to % per cent higher, but that upon parcels of less weight there will be mere than a proportionate reduction. The average reduction, he believes, will range from 10 to 15 per cent. The proposed new rates were talked over here today between shippers, the commission and representatives of the express companies. TUESDAY EVENING, le ae 30, 1913. — ee aa 5 3 ek aie oy * * + - 2 ;?

MAN WITHOUT BATH IN 100 DAYS FINED $100 Belleville Prisoner So Dirty Pol- ice Won't Escort Him, Court Goes to Jail. William Knaus didn’t come clean when he was summoned to Justice Under- wood’s court in Belleville to be tried on] a vagrancy charge Tuesday. In fact, he came so dirty that policemen refused | to escort him to the courtroom. When the facts were made known to Justice Underwood, he went to the jail and held the trial there, keeping at a safe, if not respectful, distance from the accused. . Remembering that Knaus had been be- fore him on a vagrancy charge just 100 days ago and had then been released on his promise to leave town, the Jua- tice said to him: “Have you taken a bath since you were here before?’’ No,“ replied Knaus. “Then I'll fine you $100. That's just $1 a day for every day you failed to take a bath.“ BANKER DUELIST WINS ADMISSION TO U. 8. Hungarian Says Fights in His Country Are Tamer Than Box- ing Here; Allowed to Enter. NEW YORK, Dec. %.—Emil Zerko- vitz, the banker from Hungary, who was detained at Hillis Island because of a bloodless duel he had in Budapest witn a former business partner, Julius Per- nitzer, has convinced the immigra- tion authorities that he is entitled to land here long enough to transact the business that brought him to this coun- try. Duels in Austria-Hungary, he ex- plained in a statement yesterday, were less harmful to the duelists than a box- ing match was here to the boxers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 30.— As a climax to one of the most sensationa! eases ever tried in the Canadian courts, the Alberta Government has paid §2,- (900,008 te W. R. Clarke, Kansas City banker and promoter of the Alberta & Great Waterways Railway. I knew the wnlue of black dirt and I played that hunch and played it big. That is how I made this 22,000,000, said Clarke, a soldier of l whose prip- 1 cipal and most ve. valu wah the knowledge that where there Was black soll there was bound to be some day a 'wéalthy agricultural community. When he was a boy, and he is little more than a boy now in appearance, his | father “had a bank in Abilene, Kan. “Tt. was like this,” said Clarke, in tell- ing how he made the $2,000,000 and gut it all in cash in a lump. My dear old dad ran a bank in Abilene. He went there when it was the jumping-off place, the western terminus of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. Father went there be- cause the dirt around there was black as your hat. He knew that soil would bring the farmers fast enough, and it did. Black dirt made Kansas. I Was brought up on black dirt as a text. My dad taught it to me. He told me never to settle in a place where the soll was not black. “tt was not long until dad had made enough money in Abilene,” after the on Black Dirt TOH. 9 —0 joe oD Tears Gifts Now of steamers on that river and build towns along the road and the river.

WILL OF 1889 READ Whole Fortune Is Left to Two Brothers, Now Dead, and His Sister. ROME, Dec. 30.—Prince Francesco of Campobello, who is said to have been disinherited by his uncle, the late Car- dinal Rampolla, has asked the authori- ties to make an inventory of the entire Rampolla estate. The Cardinal's will, dated 188, was read yesterday before the public no- tary, in the presence of Baron Pezzana and the Baroness, a sis- ter of the Cardinal. The Baroness is the mother of Prince Francesco Campo- bello, whose wife, Princess Altieri, now separated from him, is contesting this will on the ground that there ps in ex- istence a later testament in favor of her children. The Princess believes this later will has been stolen. The will read yesterday is written on official paper bearing the Cardinal's crest and by its terms his whole for- tune is left to his “two dear brothers and dear sister.” Both brothers are dead. To St. Peter’s the Cardinal be- quethed his chasuble, his jewels and other articles of great value. To his titular church of St. Cecilia he leaves his priestly vestments, a golden necklace and other jewelry. To Pope Leo he willed a ring of bril- liants and other gems, To certain fellow Cardinals anda friends, most of whom have since died. he leaves jewels and sundry persona: articles. His valet, year’s wages. In accordance with the request of the Baroness Carolina Rampolla Pezzanna, who presented the will of 1889 to the Court, pointing out that she is the sole heir, her brothers having died, the re- moval of the seals from the Cardinal’s apartments probably will be ordered at once, YACHT OWNER ON TRIAL FOR ARSON ON HIGH SE/S Peppino, is to receive a Boer War Veteran Accused of Burning His Vessel Said to Be First Prosecuted Under Act.

The indictment alleges that Fish set fire to his aux- iliary yacht, the Senta, off Edgartown, on the night of Oct. 25, 1910. The yacht was destroyed. Since his arrest in New York last September, Fish has been at liberty un- der $10,000 bail. He contends the fire started éither from a cigarette butt or from a stove and that his first knowl- edge of it was when he was awakened by the crackling of the flames. Fish and two women guests, his cousins, with the four members of, the crew, es- caped in their night clothes into a small boat and rowed ashore.

WON MANY REFORM LAWS Her Announcement That Ameri- can Eagle Was a Female Won Much Notoriety. By Associated Press. ENGLEWOOD, N. J., Dec. .- Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake, a pioneer in the cause of woman suffrage, died in a sani- tarlum here today, aged 80 years. She had been ill for several years and re- cently had a turn for the worse, when it was seen that, because of her ad- vanced age, her recovery was hopeless. Mrs. Blake was the author of several successful novels in her earlier years, but devoted the greater part of her life to championing the cause of woman's rights. In 1870 she espoused the cause of wom- an suffrage, then generally unpopular. She brought about many reforms in woman’s favor, including the passage of the law granting school suffrage to women in this State. She was the first woman to ask for the admission of spas to Columbia University. asessed Wit and Beauty. Mrs. Blake s wit and beauty, her dig- nity enhanced by gowns, were assets in her career that played heavily in her favor, but above and beyond her judi- cial mind made her a leader of vast importance, In her work she appeared before the Legislature of Connecticut and that of New York and addressed both houses of Congress on many occa- sions. Mrs. Blake had held national, state and city offices in suffrage organiza- tions, founded the New York Legisla- tive League, filled the presidency of the New York City Mothers’ Club (for, while she believed ardently in the vote for women, she believed essentially in the home) and brought into being the Pilgrim Mothers—a satire on the Pil- grim: Fathers, whose yearly banquet de- veloped many quips at the expense of the male. It was at one of these banquets that Mrs. Blake announced the discovery that the American eagle was a female. It was she who in 18% first conceived the idea of organizing women political- ly by Assembly districts. Born in Raleich, 8. C Lilly Devereux was born in Raleigh, S. C., in 183. Her grandfather was William Samuel Johnson, at one time President of Columbia University. She was distantly related to Aaron Burr. After the death of her father, which occurred early in life, Lilly’s mother brought her daughters to Connecticut and the future Mrs. Blake was educated in Mrs. Apthorp’s school in New Ha- ven. At 16. she first heard Susan B. Anthony. At 20 she married Frank G. Quay Um- sted, a student at Yale. They moved to the West and settled in what was then the Dakota wilderness. They lived for a time in St. Louis. Four years later her husband died and Mrs. Blake brought her young daughters to New York City, where as a novelist and es- sayist she set out to face the world. Her second marriage—to Grenfell Blake —occurred in 1866. He died in 1896. Two daughters, Elisabeth Johnson Devereux, wife of Prof. John Beverly Robinson, head of the school of archi- tecture of Washington University, St. Louis, and Katherine Devereux Blake, principal of a public school in New York City, survive her. 24 fi , sal CHAMPION OF WOMAN 8 SUFFRAGE WHO IS DEAD Caller e $2, and Another , a8 a result of the publicity, he will be ‘week, Although in St. Louis three Mes LILLIE — BLAKE * T0 SELL CHILDREN S OFFERED AD Proffers Work; Now Hopes to Keep Boy and Girl.

The project and the two acts legal- izing it were submitted to the electors of Alberta. The ballot sustained it so generally that 39 representatives in a possible total Assembly of 41 were elect- ed in support of the railway program of the Government, the chief item of which was arke’s railway. Thus Clarke obtained every sort of right to believe himself authorized to go ahead. He himself went to London and sold the bonds to J. P. Morgan. The pro- ceeds, $7,400,000, were, in eccordance with the Alberta act, deposited in Canadian | banks to. the credit of the Alberta trea- sury, not to be paid out except on in- stallments to Clarke's company on the Alberta engineer’s certificate that the company had completed sections of the road according to specifications. Then began a political disturbance in which the contract between the Gov- ernment and Clarke was criticised. His enemies charged that the road could be built for $12,000 a mile, whereas he was to receive $20,000, a net profit of $8000 a mile on construction alone, and his brother, Bertrand; had organized a con- struction company which was to build the road and make a profit. And there was no obligation that the road was to be operated after it was built. It was charged, too, that Clarke sold the bonds to Morgan for 102 and Morgan had im- mediately resold them for 110.

(McClung, Literary Rival off — — Major, Dilates Someone oimplifies His ai Drops Role of Prison Warden and as Missouri Chairman, Steals Republicans’ Thunder. MEXICO A STATE, HE SAYS Jealous . Partisan of President Credits Him With Parcel Post, Started by Taft. Warden D. C. McClung has taken his pen in hand, and has completed a num- ber of sentences, which he has served up to several hundred Missouri Demo- crats in a letter headed Shall We Take Stock?“ Gov. Major, with his “flashing rapier” and “glint of sunlight on bannered thousands” (see inaugural speech), has a literary rival in McClung, whose com- position has the real Major ring. This ring, of course, is nothing like the „rings which the Warden sometimes uses in obtaining statements from reti- cent individuals. In fact, before g0- ing farther; it ought to be stated that McClung ‘signs his letter, not as War- den of the Penitentiary, but as chair- man of the Democratic State Committee. | Some Plain and Fancy Spelling. Like other literary men, this new prose-poet of the Majorian period has found himself at the mercy of the printer and the proofreader, and they have handled him rather roughly. This ap- pears in the reference to the „Belle“ Telephone Co., and in such words as „intelect, “‘incesantly,” “farcial” and deposted.“ But brushing aside these trivialities, let us view the warden-chairman in the act of pointing with pride to the achieve- ments of the Democratic pafty. He can simply point rings around most of the point-with-priders. For instance, he catalogues with the deeds of the Wilson administration, “The admission of Mexico and Arizona as states, which has been performed, errand BROADWAY: E D Ire 2— on Democracy e 9 . „% SOOO A>) 444 D.C. MECLUNG. adding two more stars to the galaxy of our nation.“ This will doubtless be news to Presi- dent Wilson, and it is to be hoped that someone will wire to Pass Christian and tell him about it. He probably thinks that Mexico is still an independent coun- try, and he may have fallen into the error of supposing that New Mexico and Arizona broke into the galaxy“ during the Taft administration. Year Eventful, He Admits. “The year of 1912, says McClung In beginning his letter, was both remark- able and eventful. -It left its impress upon the march of progress and made possible the matchless achievements of the present and passing year. Politi- cally, it commemorates and marks the birth of the Progressive party, the sul- cide and death of the Republican party, and the resurrection and enthronement of the never dying Democratic party.” He does not stop to explain how a party which never died could be resur- rected, or to indicate whether a party could commit suicide without dying, but proceeds to a eulogy of the Democracy and of the President. “Woodrow Wilson,“ he declares, has has been performed as nearly as it was possible for the legislature to determine just what the large cities desired. “Efficiency and economy in our elee- mosynary institutions and this has been wholly performed notwithstanding the malicious falsehoods of some of our sensational papers.“ “Eleemosynary” is a big word, and] creait. McClung seems to be trying to make it cover the penitentiary, which a writer more fettered by forms of speech might think it necessary to call a penal in- stitution. Much remains to be done,” he con- cludes, “but as God gives our party the power to see the right, we can rest as- sured in its hands, until every promise made and pledge given is wholly and nobly performed. With these performed Men, 80, Missing Simee Dee. 19. Andrew Seitel, 80 years old, of 1216 Hebert street, left home on the morn. ing of Dec. 19, ostensibly to take his daily etroll. He has not returned and his family has reported the disap- pearance to the police. Miss Margaret Seitel, daughter of the missing man, said friends saw him walking along the levee, an hour after he departed from home.

Without pausing for a reply, the writ- er himself answers, Never.“ He next gets to Champ Clark, who, he declares, “never shirks or lurks, but incesantly works for his state and nation.“ He then enumerates seven deeds of the Wilson administration, including the “admission of Mexico and Arizona.” He Says the income tax, which has been “pased,’’ will force those persons who are recipients of governmental protec- tion to support and pay for that pro- tection..” He says the eleclon of senaors'“ by popular vote has been per- formed and made possible.“ (Apparently Some miscreant had sone south witn the t“ box from the print shop which handled McClung’s copy. The foreman of the penitentiary printing office, ac- cording to a dispatch from Jefferson City, indignantly denies that the work was done in his place. Another thing which he credits to Democracy is the parcel post. A cer- tain large person in New Haven, Conn., who thinks that the parcel post was started when he was President, might dissent from this, as well as from the “Mexico and Arizona“ paragraph. In enforcement of the anti-trust law, McClung says, à full performance of our promises are being kept.’’ He adds that the dissolution of the Belle Tele- phone from the Western Union is a most recent example. ' We have only begun our work. It is no exaggeration to say that nine months of Democratic rule outshine with luster and splendor any four-year term of ahy Republican President.“ The Mexican situation, he goes on to}? predict, will be settled by President Wilson without loss of life and property to the admiration and amazement of the world.” He stops to give passing mention to the Panama Canal, then reaches his climax in a tribute to Gov. Major. Major Is Not Forgotten. “In State affairs,“ he throbs proudly, “‘we have a native-born Missouri Demo- crat as Governor—BElliott W. Major, who was born in her domain and loves her rocks and rills with native pride. He has been tried and tested by the peo- ple and never found wanting. His greatest duty and desire is to serve his State and his people.” Although the Governor loves the “rocks and rilis’’ of Missouri, McClung : Sa hastens to make it clear that he does Bermuda New Potatoes * not wish the rocks to be in the middle Special Baked Pota of the road, unless a crushing machine Artichokes, Brussel i Sprouts, Brollea has first been used.

I've done since I've been in Washington,” Mr. Whitacre said, has been to sit around and try to look wise, and that’s what any man has to do who. isn’t willing to barter his convietions for political expediency. “Today I got a letter from a fraternal organization asking me to vote for the immigration bill now pending. I voted against the bill once, but if I played the game as it is played in Washington last minute had made my act and hand out a lot of stuff like that. “IT can’t stand that sort of ‘business. I thought there might be a chance, for an honest, wide-awake, frank and open business man in Congress, but I was quickly disillusioned.”’ Whitacre is serving his second term as a Representative, having been elect- ed as a Democrat. He was the first “Wilson” Congressman from Ohio. Oakes’ 24 Fl. Dining Room.

By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. MMA TRENTINTS grand opera E voice saves the day—or the night tor her in the title role of The Firefly,” which began its engagement at the Shubert Theater on Monday evening before a big and brilliant au- dience. The tiny prima donna is as sweet- throated as a lark, and, like the lark, the volume of her song, coming from so small a body, is truly wonderful. But she is lacking in comedy spirit, and, to this extent, her individual per- formance is disappointing. There are others in the company, however, who furnish fun in good mea- sure, wherefore it is easy to forgive the star’s deficiency in this respect and rest content with her admirable vocal achievement. In the part of an Italian street-waif who wins the love of a young New York aristocrat and finds a happy end- ing to her romance in spite of the fact that she is unjustly accused of theft, Mlle. Trentini enjoys and improves sev- eral natable opportunities for songful- ness, seeming greatly to endear her- self to her hearers. Among these rewardful song-chances are her first number, Love Is Like a Firefly;” the swiftly following solo, “Gianina;” the ensemble number of her leading, “Tommy Atkins;” the cleverly arranged quintet, We're Going to Make a Man of You,” in which her competent associates are William Wolff, Craig Campbell, Melville Stewart and Oscar Figman; the exquisite little trio, When a Maid Comes Knocking at Your Heart,” sung in company with Craig Campbell and William Wolff, and the exceedingly tuneful ballad, “Kiss Me and ’Tis Day,” with which her evening's endeavor closes. Oscar Figman in the eccentric-comedy role of Jenkins, private secretary to the wealthy Mrs. Oglesby Vandare of Fifta avenue, leads the comedy contingent, acquitting himself to the audiences keen satisfaction and also singing not unworthily, notably in the quaint duet, “Something,” with Ruby Norton, in De Trop,” with Miss Norton and Sammy Lee, and in the quintet with Trentina already mentioned. Others of deserved note in the cast are William Wolff as Herr Frans, an old singing teacher, made up to look Ike a fat Liszt and scoring a big personal triumph in his singing of “The Beauti- ful Ship From Toyland;” Craig Camp- bell as Jack Travers, engaged to Ger- aldine Vandare, but in love with Nina, the Firefly; Louise Mink as Geraldine, who loves and is loved by Jack's uncle, the John Thurston of Melville Stewart’s playing; Vera de Rosa as Sybil Van- dare, her sister; Katherine Stewart as Mrs. Oglesby Vandare; Ruby Norton as Suzette and Sammy Lee as Pietro, the two friendly conspirators accountable for the Firefly’s masquerading as Tony Columbo, a ragged newsboy. Among other memorable song num- bers, with an unusually sweet-voiced chorus taking part on occasion, are the opening ensemble, “A Trip to Ber- muda,“ led by Vera de Rosa, Ruby Nor- ton and Sammy Lee; He Says Yes, Sho Says No,“ by Louise Mink, Craig Camp- bell and the chorus; Call Me Uncle,” by Melville Stewart, Vera de Rosa and chorus; the very lovely opening number of the second scene, Sapphire Seas, led by Vera de Rosa; “Sympathy,” by Louise Mink and Melville Stewart; An American Beauty Rose,” by Melvilie Stewart and ensemble, and “The Latest Thing From Paris,” by Sammy Lee and Ruby Norton. The orchestral score of “The Firefly’’ is worthily musical far above the pres- ent-day average and it is most worthily interpreted by the orchestra under Wil- liam L. Axt’s conductorship. The pre- dude to the rise of the second curtain was an especially satisfying orchestra] achievement, and there were many other moments during the evening when the instrumentalists took their rightfyl place among the star features of the perform- ance. FRITZI SCHEFF AT COLUMBIA. Fritzi Scheff, six days a bride, made her first St. Louis appearance tn vaude- ville at the Columbia Theater on Mon- day afternoon and gave not quite 10 minutes of her time to entertaining an audience that filled the house to its ca- pacity. Her act covered a period of precisely 10 minutes, from 3:30 to 3:4 o'clock of the matinee performance, but several of these 10 minutes were used by hergac- companist, Louis Aschenfelder, in a presentation of the “Rigoletto” quartet arranged for the piano. Miss Scheff sang three little songs, Ardita’s “Parla,” “Kiss Me,” from “Mile. Modiste, and “Just a Little Love, a Little Kiss. Her voice is in better condition than when she last sang in St. Louis, and the Columbia au- dience seemed to like her singing very much indeed. Its applause was gener- ous. But tts surprise and disappointment were great when it realized that this brief contribution to the Columbia pro- gram was all it was to receive from the former light-opera prima donna in whose honor the house Was filled. There was much audible comment en the brevity ef the act and this comment was resentful in tenor. The new bill as a Whole is distinctly clever. It includes Kartell, on the wire; Jim Halley and Jess Noble, “the lady and the hero;” the Bell Family of nine brothers and sisters in a musical offering; Lew Brice and Lillian Gonna, in singing and dancing; Kenney, No- PLAYGOERS’.

TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 30.—Friends of Sheffield Ingalls, son of the late John J. Ingalls, for many years Senator from Kansas, are boosting him for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Bris- tow. Bristow’s wavering between the Pro- gressives and Republicans has lost him many friends among the Progressives. The old-line Republicans never did sup- port him and probably never will. The there will be nothing in Ingalis’ way Senator has said he will be a candidate ther as an orator. ant-Governor of Kansas. He has had an ambition to go to the Set- ate, and his friends say that only party He feels that Bristow—if he decides to run as a Progressive—has first claim on the Progressive nomination, but if Bris- tow should elect to run as a Republican and he will then become a candidate. Otherwise, he probably will wait four years and run against Senator Thomp- son, Democrat.

Claims against the estate of Adolphus Busch, amounting to $4236.87, were al- luwed in the Probate Court Tuesday. One item was $575, due the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association for “rent of Busch place, Oct. 15 to 31.” This was understood as indicating that the Busch home is the property of the brewery, and that a monthly rental of $1150 has Leon paid. Whether this rental covered only the residence at 1 Busch place or ‘ncluded the house across the driveway, now occupied by Adolphus Busch III, was not shown.

Adreon, former Citys Comptroller, vice-president of the American, Brake Co. and Southwestern manager of the Westinghouse Brake Co., died at 10:45 p. m. Monday at his home, 5713 Cabanne avenue. A hemor- rhage of the stomach is stated to have been the direct cause of death, but grief over the death of his son, E. L. Adreon Jr., Nov. 19, is believed to have hastened his end. He had been greatly depressed since the death of his son. His distress was increased by the second anniversary of the death of his wife, which occurred Dec. 21, 1911, and his birthday and wedding anniversaries, Dec. 23, and the coming of Christmas. ° His surviving son, Robert Adreon, general manager of the American Brake Co., was with him constantly, and did all that he could do to divert his fa- ther’s mind. He was at his office Dec. 23. At the home it was stated that he did not become seriously ill until Mon- DEATHHASTENS END DR. ANNA SHAW SAS U. S. WOULD PICK HER POCKET Suffragette Further Explain Letter Advising Women to Passively Resist Income Tax As- sessor— Doesn't Believe in Hunger Strike. By AW TORK, Dec. %.—Militancy 18 not involved in the appeal issued by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Woman's Suffrage Associa- tion to suffragists to refuse to pay in- come taxes until they are given the right to vote. Dr. Shaw asserted last night that she advocated ony a passive resistance to the Government’s agents. Dr. Shaw declared that she would re- fuse to make returns to her tax as- sessor and if fined by a court would refuse to pay the fine. If sent to jail, she will not start a hunger strike, she said, adding: “I would not thus destroy my health. I’m of more worth to the suffrage cause while I'm in good health than I would be if I was starved.” In explanation of her letter to the suf- fragists, Dr. Shaw said: „1 hold it is unfair to the women of this country to have taxation with- out representation and I have urge: them to adopt a course of passive re- sistance, like the Quakers, instead of aggressive resistance. I say to the under the Government. To tax the women without granting them represen- tation, the statement asserts, would be an act cf “intolerable injustice.” Resistance to the income tax law,” the statement says, “would have ex- cellent educational value and would be thoroughly justified morally.” It is stated, in conclusion, however, that the union will not undertake to organize a protest against the law. The suffragists leaders assert that they have hundreds of followers pledged to fight the income tax. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, honorary dean “of the Washington College of Law, in a statement today, takes issue with suffragists, who would accept Dr. Shaw's advice of “passive resistance.” Women ‘should remember that they receive the protection of the Govern- ment,” said Mrs. Mussey, und it is only right that they should contribute to the support of a system of law and order in which they share the benefit.

Shandor, held at police head- quarters on two charges of assault, is awaiting the arrival of his bride from Jacksonville, Fla, to set at rest the suspicions of the police that he is not the lawful owner of a large quantity of silverware, table linen and dresses found in his trunk at 1 Pine street. Shandor was idehtified Tuesday by Alois Ruman of 1704 South Eleventh street as the man who attacked him in front of his home at 3 a. m. Sunday and struck him over the head with something which made a deep scalp wound. Ruman said Shandor ap- proached him and turned a flashlight in his face and said he was a detective. Ruman said he didn’t believe it, and was struck on the head. Shandor also has been identified as the man who shot Harry Campbell of 2315 Blair avenue in a fight at Eleventh and Emmett streets Saturday night. He admits shooting Campbell, but says that if he attacked Ruman he doesn't remember it. The police found 113 pleces of silver- ware in Shandor’s trunk.

MOTHER SUPHIA OF SWEDEN IS DEAD, AGtD 77 Widow of Oscar II Had Been Invalid for Years—Leaves Fortune to Younger Son. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. J0.— Queen Mother Sophia of Sweden died here today in her seventy-eighth year She had suffered, acutely for several days, and succumbed to an attack of in- flammation of the lungs. Her Majesty had been practically an invalid for more than a quarter of a century. She was subject to melan- cholia, which necessitated a constant watch being kept on her by her medi- cal attendants. She took very little part in court functions, devoting herself whenever her malady permitted ft to enterprises of a religious nature. She was a great sympathizer with the Sal vation Army whose operations in Scan- dinavia she followed with interest. She wis also a strong advocate of temper. ance. The late Queen Mother was a Princess of Nassau, and was married at Wiesba den to the late King Oscar II, in June 1857. The royal couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1907, ‘ust six months before King Oscar’s death. Her Majesty leaves a large fortune, most of which, it is understood, will go to her younger son, Oscar, who re- nounced his rights to the throne in order to marry Miss Ebban Munk, his mother’s maid of honor. This marriage was the cause of th; only difference which ever arose be- tween King Oscar II and Queen Sophia, the latter encouraging the match. DR.

Mayor Kiel has done well in vetoing the bill repealing the present parole ordinance and chang- ing the system. The existing system ts in harmony with modern methods. It has been successful in carrying out the just and humane purposes for which it was designed. It has operated as a check on the po- lice courts. It provides for a review of casea by a board consisting of the three Police Judges, the Buperintendent of the Workhouse and the Mayor's secretary. It is a safeguard against injustice to the weak or innocent and favors to the strong and guilty. It cuts out the element of personal or political consideration in dealing with of- fenders. ‘ ‘The factors of impartial review and co-opera- ‘tion for just action would have been lost in the repeal bill. The veto should stand. — = = = 80 far, New York hag raised 67886 for a Gaynor monument. Raising funds fer monuments never was New ve strong point. a = e TUN ON THE LIGHT. The frequent occurrence of bleody civil war- fare ig the mining districts of the United States ty calls for a thorough inquiry and report by repre- j sentatives of the Department of Labor. If it is true, as the miners’ union leaders allege, that the mining industry is controlled by a group of conscienceless trusts, which hold wages down te or below the bare living line, impose severe and dangerous working conditions, and enforce their rule with private armies, these facts should be made known beyond dispute, so that public opinion may compel a remedy. If it be true, as mine owners say, that the Federation, assuming jurisdic- tion over all mine labor west of the Alleghanies, is managed by men who Instigate strife to thrive upon it, then that fact ought to be established, for the same reason. ’ All that is certainly known of the situation to- day, by most readers of the newspapers, is that the miners’ union leaderg have asked for an of- ficial inquiry and the mine owners have not. 1 i The en Commeree Commission suggests a new kind of conservation, the conservation of railroad revenues.” Too much of the income from many roads goes to provide profits for inner rings that hold stock in terminal, sleeping car, equipment and other auxiliary companies. - = = = we = GRADE SEPARATION WRIT DENTED. The writ of injunction against the separation of grades at the Tower Grove crossing, asked for the owners of adjacent property affected by the improvement, has been denied. The attitude of the court is in harmony with judicial policy in other cities which are farther advanced in grade separation than St. Louis. In- junction delay is almost invariably one stage of the attempted obstruction. Those whose prop- erty may be damaged by changes in grade ha ve, however, a remedy in another direction. Their claims for compensation covering any loss they may meur cannot be evaded. They cannot pre- vent the carrying out of. the tmprovement on the n them justice later or on the theory that their claims are of such paramount importance that they must be met first, With this bar to separation removed, grade sep- eration is one step n&arer to.realization.

If a in a department so important to the safe, . peditious operation ef the road is not added te the other troubles of the system it would be cause for public rejoicing. : A failure of the conference would by no means destroy all hopes of a peaceful settlement. There yet remain the possibilities of the am- plified and strengthened Hrdman act, which pro- vides an effective machinery for the adjustment of just such difficulties. This act has been twice employed in recent months to avert crises much more alarming and involving in at least one case nearly a hundred times as many mas. It was to be assumed that a railroad under the jurisdiction of a Federal Court would set an example to all other roads in placing the fullest reliance on arbitration as the logical and prac tical method of settling labor differences. 8 1 * If the Frisco successfully aubstitutos the tele- phone for the telegraph in operating its railway system, it will shift the balance of that $2,000,- 000,000 which Mr. Mackay says is the owners’ price for the tel-tel lines to Uncle Sam. a — — 22 BAR THE SEARCHLIGHT. ; Citizens engaged in drafting a traffic ordi- nance should put a ban on the needless and dangerous electric searchlight for motor cars. ’ Riders in ears equipped with these dazzling lights enjoy no more safety than they would if riding behind lights of ordinary brilifancy, and tiey put all others, in cars or carriages or afoot, in extra peril of their lives. The searchlight blinds everybody within its range to all but its own rays. They cannot see vehicles coming at right angles. They cannot even be sure of the position of the car with the searchlight. If riding toward it, their only se- curity is to turn aside, stop and let it pasa. Stopping thus may bring them into collision with a car coming from either side. If they do not stop, being blinded by the searchlight, they may run down someone afoot. The electric searchlight is barred from the streets of other great cities. It is forbidden to be used on locomotives in ratiroad yards or ter- minals. It serves no purpose on a motor car but to advertise ita owner's arrogant ostentation. Its use should be prohibited in the city, and its users on country roads should be required to equip it with a sliding hood or other medium to subdue its blinding glare when passing other vehicles. Not to prohibit it would be to admit that the safety of all travelers is less important than the vanity of a few. (= * ADEQUATE REGULATION. In considering bills providing for governmental regulation of railroad finance, submitted for their approval, members of the Interstate Commerce Commission should see to it that the approved measure is adequate. The commission should be given full power to control and supervise every phase of railroad financial operations, Not only should the issue of railroad securities and the purposes to which the money is to be applied be viewed by the commission but that body should be empowered to regulate construc- tion and regulate the economical expenditure of all moneys that go into railroad treasuries. It should be able to check extravagance and graft of all kinds: Under supervision of this character railroads could be managed for their chartered purpose efficient public service, rates wowld be reason- able, investments safe and profits assured. If something is not done to check the rising ratio of divorces to marriages, some European humorist is presently going to allude to this coun- try as the Disunited States. = = a INSIDIOUS LOBBY ‘‘PAGED’’ IN VAIN. The subjugation of the lobby is so complete that Washington hotel proprietors complain of poor business, said ex-Gov. Folk while on a visit to St. Louis. This is a sign of temporary business depression in which the public will take great satisfaction. The loss to the hotel keepers from the rout of the insidious lobby which used to lodge itself in costly suites and spend money lav- ishly.in the cafes is the people's gain. If the lobby representatives are no longer in evidence in the hotel corridors and are “paged” in vain in the palm room, they must, indeed, have vanished. The average citizen's New Year wish for Washington hotel keepers is that they may have much prosperity in the future, but that the disgppeerance of one important source of pros- perity in the past may be permanent. THREE OOPPERS OF MIGHT. The Journal of the St, Louis Police Depart- ment points out that only three patrolmen are ordinarily on duty at any one time in the two square miles of territory extending between Del- mar and Lindell avenues from Union avenue to the westerly city limits. The average number of patrolmen on duty ip each equare mile of territory in the city ag » figured at a little less than 23. Accord- ingly, this important parallelogram, tneluding many costly mansions, would have the services of about 46 patrolmen, if accorded t. average protection of city territory generally. The three men, each of whom is the equivalent of 15 men elsewhere, must be mighty cops, indeed. If rob. — — (Pipe of Peace.) — <a JUST A 1 MINUTE.

At 69 he is a real monk and a sane one. It might be expected that nearly half a century of living under a medieval system of monasticism would cogtract any man’s view and make him at best @ narrow judge of the times in which he lives, an observer obviously observ- ant from one point of view. But that is not true of this great English Bene- dictine. He is neither a pessimist nor a tiresome optimist. He is human and has caught with genuine sincerity the human impulses of the public and all that that means. He frankly admits that woman has been too long the underdog of human- ity; that true Christian ideals demand she be given the same opportunities and the same advantages as those in the way of man. He waxes eloquent in defense of the modern woman, who is up and doing. But—and here the Abbot becomes beautifully domestic in his tastes and his ideals— provided the girl merging into womanhood does not forget the divine and natural peroga- tives of her sex, provided that she dreams the dreams that belong to wom- ankind, provided she shall never be a traitor to the natural instincts of every woman—motherhood.” “The point I have in mind is this: Our family life should be gradually but unmistakably guided into its nat- ural anchotage—simplicity. I know you are going to laugh at me, but I ask you how many families keep up the family standard that existed, sav 60 years ago? How many families preserve the family unit, the family spirlt as it then existed? No, we must be candid with ourserves. We don't say grace before meals as was done rising Pthen: we don’t assemble as a unit, wher night falls, to offer up a prayer in common. Our apartment life in great centers has crushed out the simpiicity of genuine family life Even the poorest were wont to pre- serve something like a semblance of family unity and retain those pious practices which were a bond keping them always in touch with the higher things of life. But I’m afraid that this is not the case nowadays; not as Zeneially, at all events, as in days gene by.” The Abbot passed woman. “Hirm in womankind competing with her opposite? Not at all,” he exclaimed. “Why shouldn’t a woman blaze a path for her own self? Has she not been trampled under foot in ages past and in the times we live! Has she not to bear burdens whicli man and nature impose on her? Let me be equally frank here; and mind you, you are getting the thoughts of an old monk. Women have been slaves under all systems and every form of government. It was hardly to be expected that the condition would last any more than any sane person, observing conditions about him would state that the plain every day man of family proposed to live under old fashioned ideals of right and wrong until the end of time. ‘to the new | “There are more women than men in the world, and I confess that I like the determined spirit of the young girl—in fact, admire it—that leads her into the occupationg Which man thought he had a prior right to, a right that could not be taken from him.“ Let them alone. Let them compete. What would you have them do? Sit at the fireside ail day, knitting, crocheting, making bon- nets and all these things that belong to a past age?

Just as some people can't stand prosperity others can't stand UNPLEASANT truths. At least this is true in a case recorded not long ago of a young bride of a few weeks, who took her life because of her husband's repulsion of her after she had told him of a former love affair. This couple had agreed to tell each other “everything that had hap- pened” before they were married. It is regrettable that if such agreement were to be made that they did not do so BEFORE the vows to love an honor were taken and thus avert a tragedy. As the story goes, this former love affair of the young bride had oc- curred in the old country and was a CLOSED chapter, a thing entirely passed, Yet it was dragged out into the light of day; after which the hus- band cast the wife off and presumed Many Recoveries _ From Lung Trouble A medicine for Throat and Lung Trou- bles which has been aoe tg ng, TR Leaver for many years, and which strumental in restoring complete oP ith r of 3 should be iv as full ey a n — lives in many cases, 8 f e Gentlemen: hem Witmines ysician. eugenist replied to to — t 7 .

The unlocking of the players’ chains is being indirectly done by the Federal league, the advent of which to the big league rumpus promises not only to raise prices and help the baseball star boost his pay check, but to work many needed reforms in behalf of the poor ‘sla ve.” ERD’'S the way it works: In a week or so David Fults, who created the Baseball Players’ Fraternity—and a comfortable annual salary for himself— will lead a committee of national game stars to the National Commission cham- bers, there to present a Bill of Rights. ‘hose champion banqueters of the world, Owgoost Herrmann, Ban Johnson and John K. Tener, will be asked to grant 17 concessions to the players, all more or less reasonable. And will they get them? They WILL, or a big majority of them. For thus far the big league players, in the main, have held back from committing them- selves to any Federal League contracts until the commission has acted on their Bill of Rights. If Owgoost and company act ugly about the matter they jump; if nice, they. remain loyal. a + 0 The Gazipe in the Ointment. HEN, again: Dave Fults, at present, is very kind toward national agree- ment clubs. He guarantees that his men will preserve good faith in the matt r of the reserve clause—always providing the commission sees its way to grant If the commish (ts blind to the matter, the reserve rule will not be observed and the bars will be down to the Federal League wolf. * * * * It’s Up to Fultz. O that at present the salvation of organized baseball seems to rest on the good will of Dave Futiz and the baseball fraternity. If the big Leagues can satisfy the players and get them te observe the reserve rule, the pickings of the Federal League will be very poor, for practi- cally all the big leaguers are members of the Players’ Union. „ „ * Easy for the Athletics. NCIDENTALLY the Athictics are about the ene best bet in baseball — — poor human chattel who has to struggle along for six months on a pittance of from 63000 to $15,000 per annum, now sees his way clear to buying his wife a set of Russian sable to shield her from the winter wind, E VERY dog has his day; even the major League baseball player, that as winners of the world’s series of 1914. Practically every man on Connie Mack’s team will remain loyal, so closely has the “human filament” welded to him- self the members of his club. ‘This means that the easy victors of the 1913 series will have only weakened teams to oppose them next year, if the Feds can make expected inroads. At any rate, Mack’s club is certain to remain intact where the others are dubious. It’s a big advantage on the eve of a baseball war. * „ „ Why Shouldn’t He Sign? ORDECAI BROWN declares he knows positively he will get his Federal League salary for the next three years. That's about three years more certainty than he would have en- joyed in the big leagues, so he should lose no sleep! * * * Those Fed Promises Fade. HE fact that the Federal League contracts are practically identical with those of the major leagues in re- gard to the reserve and 10-day clauses will be interesting news to the Baseball Players’ Fraternity, which was inclined to view the new organization with favor because of its declared policy of doing things to emancipate the poor baseball slave. If the Federal League contract revealed yesterday by R. L. Hedges of the Browns is a sample of all of them— and there is every reason to believe it isthe player will advantage nothing by joining the new circuit, unless it be in salary. As far as concerns his ability to sell his services annually to the highest bidder, he is just as much a chattel as ever. . 0 * Let’s Drop One or Two. 2 — L. HE DGDS declares there's no room in St. Louis for three baseball clubs. There is plenty of room, Robert, but no money. Anyway, who is responsible for the canard that there will be three clubs here, next season? Even sheuld the Federal League come’ in here with a squad of players, if you added them all to the rosters of both the Browns and the Cardinals, you would probably uave a hard time picking a first division elub flo there, now. „ —*s — 6 —-— —_— —_— —_— — p i i i i i . — Gunboat Smith, Coming Champion Once Knocked Out by Third Rater 9 ? weight fights of the year comes off in Sam Francisco on New Year's day, Pelky meet to settle the American heavyweight championship. : cee clk Weias eg the Cent. of | when Gunboat Smith and Arthur a oe = reports that the big fellow has be- come “another Jeffries.” “I think Pelky is the dreadnaught that will sink the Gunboat,” writes to the 10-Days Notice of Release Rule, : By W. J. O’Connor. The contention of President R. L. Hedges of the Browns that the Fed- eral League players’ contract is sub- stantially the same as the one used by the major leagues, is denied by E. A. Steininger of the local Federal League team. “It isn’t true that we have a reserve clause in our contract,” stated Stein- inger to the Post-Dispatch Tuesday. We have a ten-day release clause, which is protection against ‘bad actors.’ However, I think you will find that every con- tract entered into by employe and em- ployer has some such phrase. Mr. Hedges might possibly have ene of the many contracts which were sub- mitted to us by lawyers, but I doubt that he has the official document re- cently adopted by the Federal League,” Seininger continued. There's nothing secret about our con- tract because we believe it is legal and will stand the acid test in court. How- ever, we only ask a man to remain with us so long as we pay him his salary.” Park Selection Put Off. Seininger stated Tuesday that the busi- ness of buying a ball park would neces- sarily have to be deferred because oi the absence from the city of certain persons interested in this move. He didn’t learn that these parties were missing until Monday noon whan he sought a conference on the park prop- osition. Assurance has been given, how- ever, that they will return Friday and definite action probably will be taken at the fag end of the week. The report from Chicago that Mor- decai Brown would be here Wednesday to look over the situation was news to Steininger. He says there is little Brown can do until the local stockholders get togeteher and clean up the minor business. Major League Contract Will Stand a Court Test, Maker Believes NEW YORK. Dec. %.—John Conway Toole, the attorney who drew up the present form of baseball contract by which player and magnate agree that 20 per cent of the player’s salary shall be considered as pay- ment for an option on the players services for the ensuing year, is confident reserved players cannot evade their obligation te the reserving club.

No game has been booked with the Innisfails, although Willie Foley’s Irish clan was the only team able to beat the Toronto profes- sionals, a club that lost one game in 8 this season, and that ene here. Leecal Managers Game. As told in the Post-Dispatch Monday, neither park made any real money on the Christmas series, although the Rob- ison Field crowd claims to have at least cleared expenses. A deficit of $600 was registered at Athletic Park, where the inclement weather proved too much for the patrons. By keeping the True Blues here and paying each man , the Athletic Park officials hope to reimburse themselves for the losses on the Christmas series.
