The Post-Dispatch today begins the publication of an analysis of the business conditions under which the Seuthwestern Telegraph & Telephone Co., (Bell system in St. Louis and su- burbs) operates, its relations with Oo., and its application to the Mis- _@ourl Public Service Commission for permission to greatly increase its rates for certain classification of business service. Tune Southwestern company filed with the Public Service Commission at Jeffer- gon City, Dec, 2, an application for per- mission to increase rates on 18,260 tele- phones in business service. The aver- age monthly rate of increase asked for 88 cents, but on some classes of to 80 per cent. For direct line unlimited service the company asked for permis- sion to charge $10 a month.“ The pres- ent rate is $6.50 for a direct line tele- phone of this class, and $5.50 for a two- party line. The company proposes to discontinue the two-party line and unlimited service. branch exchange, limited to 3009 8, from $14.75 a month to $15.25. 3 9 service from 119.50 a month to . The commission suspended the pro- d moreate in rates pending an ‘n- tion to determine their reason- ot Post-Dispatch's investigation in- cluded a study of the revenues and ex- penses of the Southwestern company, and of its right to a greater earning on its investment than it now has. What Investigation Showed. — The investigation showed that: 1. The American Telephone and h Co., which owns the South- western Telegraph and Telephone Co., annually receives 4% per cent of gross revenue of the Southwestern com- pany, in addition to a 4 per cent di- vidend on its stock, and it allows the Southwestern company only 5 56-100 cents for each long distance message handied over its lines into and out of St, Louis. 2. That the 4% per cent is paid for the use of telephone transmitters and receivers which can be purchased for $2.92 a set, and for engineering, ac- counting and legal advice, which was declared by expert telephone engineers} to be more theoretical than real. In mie the Southwestern company paid . ‘That the Southwestern company of a long distance call, but only 5 56-100 cents a call, the it receives being the ‘same if charge to the eubscriber for 20 cents or $20.

LONDON, Jan. 16.—*‘America certain- ly has taught us a lesson in true chiv- alry,” exclaimed the Hon. Harrist Phipps, Queen Victoria’s principal Lady- in-Waiting, year, on receiving from J. Pierpont Mor- gan a number of jewels that were given to her by Victoria, but which she hal been obliged to part with some time ago in order to pay an inheritance tax. Accompanying the gems was a letter from Mr. Morgan explaining he ha‘ found them in his father’s collection and wished to return them, as he thought it a pity that they should go out of her family. . Among the treasures was a locke: with some of Queen Victoria's hair on one side and some of the Prince Coa- sort’s on the other. The jewelry had been disposed of through a dealer and Miss Phipps never knew the name >of the purchaser until they were restored to her. The will of Martha Washington, which was stolen from the Fairfax (Va.) court- house records in the Civil War, and which eventually found its way into the Morgan collection, has not been returned although many persons have asked tha‘ it be restored to its place. TAFT’S $2000 AUTO IS ASSESSED AT $4950 Former President Protests, Aft- er Penalty Is Added, That the Machine Is Second Hand. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 16.—Prof. William Howard Taft of Yale is dis- satisfied with the tax levied on his automobile by the city. Recently he received a tax bill showing that the assessors had rated his machine as worth $4500. To this 10 per cent had been added on his failure to appear within the required time and swear to his tax list. This brought the total on which the 19-mill tax is computed up to $4950 In a letter to the assessors Taft today informed them that he purchased the car second hand, paying only $2000 for it. and falls to understand how they can rate it at $4500, Although Prof. Taft owns real estate tin New Haven, he did not have title to it when the a@ssessors were making up the list last spring and is not taxable this Year.

Thaw to bail will not be decided for several weeks. In a rescript filed with the clerk of the Federal Court today, United States Judge Edgar Aldrich said that there would be no hearing on the matter of bail until the final hearing on the ques- tions involved in the extradition and habeas corpus proceedings. An extension of 2 days in which to file their brief in the main case was granted Thaw’s counsel by Judge Ald- rich. This brief was due last week, but counsel were unable to comply with the Court's order and asked for more time. As Attorney-General Carmody has al- ready filed the brief for New York State, it is believed that the hearing on the main case and also on the matter | of bail will be held in February. now in her seventy-third | STEPMOTHER SUES: T0 SET ASIDE GIFT TO MRS. ZIEBOLD Mrs. C. J. Heine Alleges Threats Caused Her to Sign Deed to $60,000 Property. “MADE TO LEAVE CITY” Mrs. Ziebold Says, However, Woman Departed in Fear Fifth Marriage Was Illegal. Mrs. Phebe E. Heine, wife of Charles J. Heine of 3624 West Pine boulevard, a retired poultry dealer, filed suit in the Circuit Court Friday to set aside a deed by which Heine conveyed $60,000 worth of St. Louls real estate to his daughter, Mrs. Mary M. Ziebold, in January, 1912. Heine is her fifth hus- band, while she is his third wife. Mrs. Ziebold is the widow of Charles F. Ziebold, an attorney, who was killed by a train at Waterloo, III., Feb. 9, 1912. After Ziebold’s death Mrs. Ziebold was adjudged insane and taken to an asylum. At a hearing in the Probate Court, less than a month ago, Mrs. Zie- bold was declared sane and the right to manage her affairs was restored to her. She now lives with her father. Says She Signed Against Will. Mrs. Heine, in her petition filed by Attorneys Charles Fensky and Grant Gillespie, alleges she was induced to sign the deed “by threats of violence, intimidation, bodily harm, duress, un- due influence and fraud and deceit and against her will.” The making of the deed, she says, unlawfuly deprived her of her homestead and dower rights to her husband’s estate. After she signed the deed, she al- leges, she was “compelled to leave the city of St. Louis and threatened with bodily injury if she did not go away and remain away.” Mrs. Heine’s attorneys say. she is now in New Mexico. Heine is said to be about 80 years old. Mrs. Zeibold and Josephine Ferren- bach were children by his second marriage. According to the attorneys. theré™were strong family. objections when he took his third wife in De- cember, 1911. The property conveyed to Mrs. Ziebold by her father included the homestead on pieces of property on Franklin avenue, Morgan street and Gamble street. Property Brings $250 a Month. But for coercion in inducing her to sign the deed, Mrs. Heine says, she would have been entitled to one-half of the estate at her husband’s death. The deed conveys full title to Mrs. Ziebold upon Heine’s death, but reserves 40 Heine a life interest in the property. At her sanity hearing, Mrs. Zeibold told of this deed and said the property had n rental value of about $250 a month. Mrs. Ziebold at her father’s home, Friday afternoon, told a Post-Dispatch reporter her stepmother was not forced to sign the deed, but that she signed it in consideration of $500 in cash. The stepmother, she said, under ‘the name Phoebe Atkins, was hired by Heine as his housekeeper July 16, 1911. A few days later Ziebold, who exercised a sort of supervision over the Heine home, though he did not live there, dis- missed the new housekeeper, whom Mrs. Ziebold described as being “anywhere between 48 and 60 years old.” Aug. 3, 1911, Heine rehired the housekeeper. “Ive Married That Old Thing.” Mrs. Ziebold said that when she vis- ited her father Dee. 28, 1911, he called her to him and said: Well, I've mar- ried that old thing downstairs.’’ Mrs. Ziebold hired a private detective to investigate her stepmother’s ante- cedents, she said, and the detective re- ported that the stepmother formerly lived at Flat Rock, III., and that she had obtained a divorce from a man named Doran Oct. 1, 1911, who was her fourth husband, two months before her marriage to Heine. When the deed in litigation was ice: Mrs. Ziebold said, her stepmother under- stood sife might be prosecuted for re- marrying within a year after obtaining an Illinois divorce. It was for this, ano no other reason, according to Mrs. Zie- bold, that the stepmother promised to , —-—~ pagan SRESRNSRSENRNS ONDER depart from St. Louis and remain away. — Swamped em all! 7 Again on Thursday of this week the POST-DISPATCH swamped all four of the other St. Louis newspapers in the volume of business carried from the St. Louis merchants. To dwell on the reasons for the extraordinary supremacy of the POST-DISPATCH would be a waste of space, the reasons are manifest after a glance at the figures which follow: Post-Dispatch alone, 85 cols.

Wells was in a downtown store when he happened to overhear a man Xnown to him as a handbook operator calling up Cabanne 740. The man discovered .Wells’ presence and hung up. Wells sus- pected that if the telephone wire was followed to Cabany 740 something in- teresting in connection with handbook activities would be discovered. He called up the chief operator of the Bell Telephone Co. and asked where Cabany 7& was. She told him that it was a secret telephone, not listed, an she could not tell him where it was. Through another telephone company em- ploye he learned that the telephone was at 844 Hodiamont avenue. Three Detectives Visit Address. Wells and two members of his squad —Matheny and Bohn—went to that ad dress in an.automobile. They found the first floor occupied as a feed store. A door leading to the second floor was locked. They went up a back stairs from the rear yard and found the front rooms vacant. The door of a back room was closed. They opened it and walked in upon a busy scene. A telegraph operator was receiving the entries and odds for the sixth race at Juarez, Mexico. Another man was sending them out over the telephones. There were two Bell and two Kinloch telephones in the room. Both men were arrested. The telegraph operator pro- tested that he was engaged in inter- state commerce and said he would ap- peal to the Interstate Commerce Com- mission for protection, and make a great deal of trouble for the detectives. He did not seem to think that his as- sistant would be arrested. Call up Memphis and Tulsa,“ he said, and tell them that we have suspended, but don’t tell them why.“ Detectives Cut Telegraph Wire. The detectives did not permit anyone to be called up. They cut the telegraph wire, and took both men to headquar- ters. Although the raid did not accupy | much more than half an hour, two pro- fessional bondsmen, Sam Epstein and Arthur Lancaster, were waiting to give bond for the men when headquarters was reached. The arrested men were Albert E. Morelock, the telegraph operator, who said he lived at the Hamilton Hotel, and Frank X. Flatrow, 3736 Page avenue. Morelock has been arrested at Los An- geles, Cal.; Chicago, New Tork and in St. Louis a year ago. The detectives seized a large quantity form sheets and copies of The Hin- doo’s Tips“ on races at Juarez and Charleston, 8. C. Clearing House for Hatt@book Men. The detectives explain that the place they raided was a sort of clearing house for the handbook men scattered about the city, each of whom usually pays $50 a week to the person who conducts it. Memoranda was found which, the detectives say, shows who were support- ing this particular clearing house. On a sheet of paper was written the names of some well-Known handbook makers and their code names, as follows: „Becker is Butwell. Kearney is Matt- hews. The Heibs, Hinder. Cummings is Cain. Murphy is Menace. Senn is Sheepish. a The detectives say that Becker is Hen- ry (Kid) Becker, Kearney is Tom Kear- ney, the Heibs are Cooney and Mike Heib and Cummings is Frank Cum- mings. The other two they do not know. Reversed Alphabet for Code. The alphabet was reversed for a code. A copy of the reversed alphabet and the correct letters for which the re- versed one stood was found. A copy of a message found in the room reads: Menace and all ovens here raising hell by wire to CH§V does no good. Can't get HEX for dot less and HLNKGV neither. Will Matthews agree to reduction of last dvvp.“ The detectives have been able to only partially decipher the code portions. Menace means Murphy. Ovens, they say, means other customers.” Mat- thews is Kearney and “dvvp” is week. The code names in capitals are not de- cipherable by the reversed alphabet system, except that XLNKGV spells Compte. BANK TELLER KILLED’ IN HOLD-UP IN RESORT — — Companion Is Wounded and Diamonds Taken From Women by Youthful Omaha Robbers. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 16—Henry E. Nickell, a paying teller at the Omahe National Bank, was shot and killed and a companion, whose name the po- lice have not obtained, was shot through the shoulder when two youthful dan- dits held Up a resort on North Fifteenth street early today.

Ehriich of 3676 Olive street, as she was on her way home at 6:10 p. m. Thursday. She lost her sealskin hand bag, containing $40 and jewelry which she valued at $300.

The billboard begins three feet above the groumd, though the law requires à space of four feet. “Roe aaa lot is behind. the board. , Mrs. Ehrlich and her sister. Mrs. Daniel Owens of 519 North Vandeventer avenue, were passing the board, walking arm in arm, when the man shuffled up behind them and seized Mrs. Ehrlich'e handbag. She held tightly to the han- dle, and the bag was torn from the handle. The man then ran, Mrs. Ehrlich 4de- clares, around the west end of the bill- board, and as she ran up to the board, to follow him, another man, whom she had not seen before, stepped in front of her, his fist raised, and stood so as to prevent her from following the other man. As she screamed for help the sec- ond man ran through the lot and dis- appeared. Men came from the Jefferson Club, across the street, but decided that a pursuit of the robbers would be useless. Mrs. Ehrlich says the man who robbed her wore a tan-colored coat and a chauffeur’s cap. In her handbag, she says, were sight diamond rings, a gold watch, $17 in money and $23 worth of old and foreign coins, some of them valued as mementoes. COL. W. C. GORGAS TO BE ARMY SURGEON-GENERAL President Has Decided on Man Who Made Canal Zone a ‘ Healthful Place. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—President Wilson virtually has selected Col. Wil- liam C. Gorgas of the Panama Canal Commission for Surgeon-General of the army. The Colonel's friends expect his nomination to go to the Senate very soon. Col. Gorgas attracted world-wide at- tention for his sanitation work in Cuba and later virtually made the building of the Panama Canal a possibility by sanitating the Isthmus.

He alleges both clubs have “continuously and willfully offended against the laws of the State by the sale of intoxicants both on Sundays and other days in the week.“ At the same time his assistant, R. Perry Spencer, dismissed similar suits which had been filed in the St. Louis Circuit Court three ‘months ago. The case was taken to the Supreme Court upon an agreement between the Circuit, Attorney and ‘counsel for the clubs in an effort to have a final decision as soon as possible. Favors State Liquor Licenses. Harvey contends neither club has the right to sell liquor without a State U- cense. It is’ not his ultimate purpose, he says, to force a forfeiture of their charters, but merely to establish the rul- ing that the clubs must purchase State liquor licenses. Statements of-the year’s revenue and expenses of the clubs, filed in the case, show a profit on sales of ‘liquor, but the clubs contend this profit is wiped out in meeting overhead expenses of the institutions. A report by Price, Waterhouse & Co. de expert gecountants, now in possession of the Circuit Attorney, shows the sales and profits made in 1912 by the St. Louis Club, which has 00 members. Wine receipts were $19,694.50 and ex- penses $12,385.08, 4 profit of $7369.42. A profit of 2009. 88 was made on 310,875. 5 worth of cigars sold. The restaurant profit of $8915.38. A profit of $200.13 was shown on $679.45 worth of en cards sold. A tentative ‘agreement as to stated facts in the cases was reached be- tween the Circuit Attorney and counsel for the clubs at a conference Thursday. John F. Lee represented the St. Louis Club and Clifford B. Allen the Mis- sour! Athletic Club. The club’s counsel, however, would not admit any profit is made on the sale of liquor in the clubs.

PRESIDIO, Ter. Jan. 16.—The Inst of the 3300 Mexican Federal soldiers and 1000 women refugees who sought safety in the United States at the capture of Ojinaga, left Presidio today for the march to Marfa, from which point they are to be transported by railroad to Fort Bliss, near El Paso. The ragged army was scattered for 67 miles along the mountain road to Marfa, closely guarded by United States cav- alrymen. Gen. Salvador Mercado, until recently Huerta’s military chief in Northern Mexico, rode in an automobile with Gen. Francisco Castro. Other Fed- eral generals rode on horses. The com- mon soldiers and the women refugees, many of them carrying children in their arms, made the march afoot. A Picturesque Scene. Never had there been seen on the bor- der so picturesque a migration as when the tattered Mexican army was set in motion on the four days’ march to Marfa. Small detachments had been drifting. along the road for several days, but it was not until daylight today that the main body started. Major McNamee of the United States border patrol rode at the head of the long column with an escort of three troops from the Fourteenth Cavalry, while two troops brought up the rear. Each of the hungry horses which were brought across the river with the routed Mexicans, bore at least two riders, usu- ally a man and @ woman. Burros car- ried domestic belongings, packed in bundles on both sides, with children perched on top. Soldiers in Merry Spirit. Despite their ragged appearance, which. suggested only misery and hun- ger, the soldiers and women were ‘n merry spirits. Now and then a group of soldiers broke into song, while others at the stopping places ate with great eagerness the rations supplied by the American troops. It. will be Monday night before the refugees arrive at Marfa to board the 10 trains which await them to carry them to El Paso. Gen. Salaasr, Federal Refugee, Is _ rested at Sanderson, Tex. SANDERSON, Tex., Jan. 16.—Gen. Ynez Salazar, commander of Mexican Federal volunteers, who was driven out of Ojinaga, Mex., by the rebels, was ar- rested here today.

Wien the comment that it 1a dan- rerous to joke with some people” and that wWe must say things pointedly to mae aun people think,” the Rev. Father D. 8. Phelan, in Fridays’ issue of ö the Western Watchman, sought to close the tango discussion which he opened two weeks before by a declara- tion in favor of the much-condemneéd dance. “As to the girls,” the veteran editor- priest wrote, “they are misunderstood, and blamed for what che are innocent of. They dress startlingly at times. Fashions are a system of revealing er concealing that is designed to attract the attention of the beholder. But the girls are not immodest in thought or act. They. are simply advertising them- selves abs éligibie wives and mothers, “This fe. an age of advertising. The j churches are the last to go into it. It is the new power for progress and im- provement in the world. Have not the girls thé right to advertise themselves“ “But what about these queer dresses and queer dances? They are nothing more than display advertisements. Now newspaper officés that no advertisement will be inserted that is objectionable. Ladies, see that your display adver- tisements do not transgress the bounds of propriety. As to the question of decency, the public must judge; but the public will be very slow in accusing the girls. of intentional immodesty. Girls who have no thought of going to a nunnery want to get married. They have a right to get married. In our present social economy husbands are not picked out by parents. The girls must go out and bring them in. To do that successfully they must exhibit their beauty and their charms, always within the restraints of ne mod - est y. 4 We think we have heard the last on the subject of these new dances. We must say things pointedly to make dull people think. „What we say of the girls and their richt to use all legitimate means to at- tract men and win husbands has startieé the whole country and shocked not a few. Let: them think and pon- der. They will in the end adopt our views.” Melsheimer’s Is Popular with theater parties.

T. and T. Co., and was not authorized by the Board of Directors, comprised largely of St. Louis stock- holders. The 4% per cent of gross revenue is paid to the parent company in return for the use of telephone instruments owned and replaced when damaged by the parent company, and for expert en- gineering, accounting and legal advice. The California Public Service Com- mission, which made a thorough study of this contract and the benefits de- rived from it by the subsidiary com- pany, held that the service performed was worth not more than 2% per cent. In 1912 the Southwestern company paid the American company $94,700 as 4% per cent of the gross revenue. from St Louis business. If it had paid 2% per cent the amount would have bsen $51,926, or a saving of $42,774. St. Louisans Sold Stock.

The value of the telephone instruments furnished by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. to the Southwestern Co. in 1912, as fixed by the American company at the California hearing, was $2.92 each. At this price the value of the 659,374, instruments in service in St Louis in 1912 was $173,372. Experts be- fore the California commission declared these instruments had virtually unlim- ited life unless destroyed by accident. Edgar S. Bloom, second vice-president of the Southwestern company, in a written statement to the Post-Dispatch, contends that the equipment is only a small part of the value received by the company in return for its payments to the American company. Bloom enu- merates the different items of service in addition to the instruments, as fol- lows: 1. The privilege of utilizing all im- proved apparatus, patents and develop- ments in the art of telephony, resulting from continuous advanced research and experimental work. The devising and issuing of, uniform and efficient opé:- ating practices and methods, developed by exhaustive and systematic studies of operating conditions and equipmen’*. The déveloping and issuing of stand- ards and the rendering of both general and specific, technical advice upon en- gineering matters, buildings, construc- tion methods, cable, equipment and ap- paratus, high tension interference prob- lems, maintenance methods and costs. Expert Advice Supplied.“ 2 The providing of adequate funds for new capital and other expenditures, and expert advice upon questions re- lating to financial matters. 8: The regular dissemination of infor- mation and intelligence upon all rates taxation and franchise matters, upon commission and court decisions and di- rect counsel and advice upon thege- and Other legal problems pertinent to “the business. 4. The furnishing of complete and ef- ficient accounting methods and sys- tems, with interpretations and advice upon all up-to-date developments in accounting work. The dissemination 01 adequate statistical information b. which significant comparisons of condi- tions and results obtained in various sections of the country are possible The conducting of annual and specia: audits. 5. The rendering of expert advice and assistance in connection with general territorial development, and the con- ducting of fundamental development studies in St. Louis. The collection and study of information regarding or- ment, experience, methods, standards and problems from all Bell companies, and the furnishing of this valuable information to the Southwestern Tele graph and Telephone Co., all of which leads to more efficient management and an improved universal service. The services given by the Americar company in addition to furnishing the telephone instruments were inquired into in 1911 by the expert electrical engineering firm of Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co. The result of that investigation is given in a report made by John F. Shepley, vice-president’ of the St. Louis Union Trust Co., and a minority stockholder of the Bell com- pany of Missouri in 1911. Shepley, in his report to the stockholders, said concerning the engineers finding: “The engineering and other similar assistance was declared to be more theoretical than real and the charge 4% per cent of gross revenue) amounted only te rentals on inetru- ment sets.“ Return of 55 Per Cent. As a rental on 59,374 telephones in use in St. Louis in 1912, the payment of $94,700 would amount to $1.59% an in- strument, valued at 32.92 each. The valuation of these instruments being fixed at $173,372, the American com- pany received in 1912 a return of 55 per cent on the value of its equipment in the service of its subsidiary. Bloom, however, estimates the South- western company received $57,000 of value from the use of the instruments owned by the parent compahy, and $80,000 of value in other services de- tailed by him. Thus, he contends, that on a payment of $102,089, of which $%,- 7 was apportioned to the St. Louis earnings, and the rest to the earnings o? outside lines of the Southwestern company, it received a return value of $137,000. He reaches these conclusions by. an accounting system which figures that the instruments, if. purchased by the Southwestern company, would have re- quired an additional investment of $220,- 400, on which, he says, the annual charges, including repairs, depreciation, taxes, insurance, interest on the in- vestment, etc., would have amounted to $67,000, and that the other services per- formed by the A. T. and T. Co., in 1912, would have cost the Southwestern company, if performed by it, $80,000 If Bloom's statement that $57,000 value in instruments was received, and $80,000 in services, is accepted, and the pay- ment of $102,089 accepted as a basis, with $220,000 as the investment which would have been required by the South- western company to obtain. ownership of the instruments, it may be figured that fifty-seven one hundred and thirty- sevenths of the $102,089 was paid as rental for the instruments. This would be approximately 30 per cent on $220,000. California View of Case. Bearing in mind that the Pacific Tele- phone and Telegraph Co, has the same relations with the A. T. and T. Co. as has the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Co., the following statement by Commissioner John M. Eshleman of the California Public Service Commission = the 4% per cent charge is interest- sg: | “I have: no hesitancy in saying that contracts such as the one here in ques- tion should be scrutinized with the ut- most care.

Such being the case, neither party to ‘any contract between the two corpora- tions legally independent and actually not, may be allowed to take advantage of such relationship to secure any earn- ing, whether through rates or other- Wise, that would not be permitted if such relationship did not exist. “It is urged by the defendant that in addition to what is actually done for it by the American Telephone and Tele- graph Co., there are certain things which might be done which are of value. “YT believe under the circumstances here found to exist that the amount al- lowed to be charged as an expense against the Pacific Telephone Co. for services performed, whether under con- tract or otherwise, in favor of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co.. should be limited strictly to what is actually done and the lowest reasonable amount for such service permitted, “Every presumption, except the bares: legal presumption, should be entertained against the fairness of such a contract. The stockholders of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., and of the Pacific Telephone Co., being the same, it is to the interest of sach stockholders to divert as much money as pessible into funds that may be used as @ividends in excess of the amount which may de lawfully earned. “Because of this situation and the very natural human and corporate ten- dency to prefer one’s own advantage. I believe it is the duty of this commis- sion, as I have already said, to limit the amount which shall be charged for the service rendered by the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Co. to the lowest fair value of the service actually rendered. “Fair Amount for Services.” ‘For the exchange here in question there was paid $10,121.89 to the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. during the yedr last past, this being 4% per cent of the gross revenue. From the invss- tigations made by the auditor of the commission and submitted in evidence the only service rendered during the year for the exchange in question was the use of section exchange instruments number 1468, which are valued by tho company themselves at $2.92 each, which should represent a total valuation of $21,806.56. The American Telephone and Telegraph Co. contends for a. rental of 24 per cent, which includes depreciation, upkeep and interest. This would allow the company $6233.57, assuming 24 per cent not to be excessive, which I, am not prepared to admit, which would mean a reduction of $4888.32 on a 2% per cent basis of earning, and, I believe, if anything, exoeeds the maximum charge which the company should be allowed to impose upon its patrons in San Jose. In passing from this branch of the in- quiry I cannot refrain from saying that, while my inclination is always to im- pute proper motives to persons and cor- porations, still this inter-corporate re- lationship with the attendant possibili- ties for fraud has never appealed to me “I have taken % per cent, instead of 4% per cent, as the proper amount to be charged fer the services ren- dered by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co.” The service performed by the parent company in return for the 4% per cent nas deen considered by nearly every telephone engineer employed in rate fix- ing cases. Prof. Edward W. Bemis, expert telephone engineer, who inves- tigated rate conditions in Chicago for the Chicago City Council, declared in his testimony that not more than 50 cents a year should be allowed for each instrument. The Wisconsin Pub- lic Service Commission found that not more than 51 cents should be al- lowed. The charge to the St. Louis company is 81.89. Attacked in Receivership Suit. It was brought out in evidence in a suit of minority stockholders, who are seeking a receivership for the Central Union Telephone Co., the subsidiary of the American company in Illinois, In- diana and Ohio, that the 4% per cent contract makes no provision for any other service than the furnishing of tel phone instruments and that there is nothing in the contract which calls for the special engineering, accounting and legal services said to be given. The attorney for the minority stockholders set out in their briefs that it is a well grounded principle of law that services outside of a written contract shall be regarded only as gratuitious services, and that it is an equally well grounded principle of law that a corporation can- not give away its assets and services. These attorneys contend the extra services for which the A. T. & T. Co. collected: 44% per cent of gross revenus were not given for the benfit of the subsidiary, but were for the interest and henefit of the American company as the controlling power of the Bell system, which, they allege, absorbs more than 9 per cent of the net income collected from the users of Sell telephones in this country and Canada. The attorneys pointed out in their briefs that, notwithstanding the 4% per cent was alleged to be payment for engineering, legal and accounting serv- ices, the Bell subsidiaries maintained engineering, accounting and legal de- partments at great expense, and said that the question of defense of patent rights was beside the issue. The pat- ents are owned by the American com- pany, and, with, the exception of the telephone instruments, are sold to the subsidiaries. The attorneys said that, as the American company owned the patents, it naturally would defend them, and that expense so incurred would not be considered a proper charge to the subsidiary company.

Mrs. Frowert asserts also that Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, Christian Science leader, told Frowert that hia wife was “error” and must be eliminated, Frowert is. referred to in the papers as “a megalomaniac with fantastic at- tributes.” Mre.

Mrs. Frowert is an actress under the name of Jane Heston. Frowert is in the advertising business. Reciting her domestic troubles and the alleged part Rowbotham has played in her affairs, Mrs. Frowert says that, in her hushand’s presence, Rowbotham Called her a ‘‘hariqt in thought,“ though that was interpreted simply to mean that she did not believe in Christian Science, She charges that, when one of their three children was ill, her hus- band, after a call from Rowbotham, de- cided no physician should be called.

Frowert says, was the last straw and she and Frowert separated. 1914 Wall Calendar Send us 10 cents to cover cost of mail- ing, or call and present your business card and obtain one free, Greeley Print. ery, 15th and Pine streets.

In his suit, Arky set forth that he and Jett were both members of the exchange and that in the hearing of other members, Jett had called him cer- tain names. Arky asked $10,000 actual and $20,000 punitive damages. The settlement was brought about by Otto J. Schulz, president of the ex- change, who acted as intermediary. 1 got the two men together,“ Schulz said, “and Jett agreed to make the apology.

Of the latter, evidence has been taken in a large number and they are awaiting briefs or arguments or commissioners are preparing their opin- ions. There has been 231 informal com- plaints, of which 173 were adjusted by correspondence, leaving 59 unsettle, there has been 127 hearings or sessions of the commission at Jefferson City and ga before one or more commissioners in the outside at the source of complaints against utility corporations. The report points out that the com- mission has adjusted informally several hundred complaints of overcharges and discrimination affecting railroads. Touching grade crossings, the report gays: Crossing elimination has been delayed in many instances in the past by the failure of the cities and railroad companies to agree upon a general plan for the elimination and upon the ap- portionment of cost. The apportion- ment of cost is the great question in grade-crossing elimination work. The Public Service Commission now has exclusive power to determine and prescribe the terms on which the sepa- ration shall be made and the proportion in which the expense of alteration or abolition shall be divided between the railroad or street railroad corporations affected or between such corporations and the State, county, municipality or other public authority in interest. “As a result of investigations by the commission’s engineering staff the rail- roads have agreed to protect 2 cross- ings at St. Joseph, 27 crossings in St. Louis and 12 crossings scattered throughout the State. “The elimination of the many hun- dreds of dangerous grade crossings throughout the State will take time and much expense to the railroads. The commission is going forward with the work in a systematic manner, studying the most dangerous crossings as the work .progresses. The commission has not yet been called #pon to apportion the expenses and just what rule of proportion will be adopted by the com- mission remains yet to be determined. Great care, the report says, is exer- clseed by the commission in ascertain- ing whether corporations which apply for authority to issue stocks or bonds are entitled to do so. Upon this point the commission said: ‘While the com- mission has endeavored carefully to | supervise the issuance of all stocks and bonds, yet it has endeavored, and will | continue to endeavor to make its rul- ings and decisions such as to encourage the honest investment of capital in this State and the promotion of all legiti- mate enterprises: for the good of the public.“ 31,589 Eixnenses for 8 Months. The tetal expenditure of the commis- sion in eight months’ existence was $34,-/ 589.85. It collected in fees $35,308.85. ‘The report recommends that the next Legislature revise the railroad laws of the State which, it is declared, were enacted in piecemeal. 25% POUNDS FOR $1.00 Best Eastern granulated sugar.

MIRELVEY DOUBTS HETHER HE CAN War BILLBOARDS Own Lawyer Holds He Cannot, and Baird’s Opinion Puzzles Building Commissioner, Building Commissioner McKelvey told a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday his! i personal counsel, John E. Bowcok, did mot think the Building Commissioner Was empowered to tear down illegal billboards after three day’s notice has been given to the owners to correct the illegalities in billboards. Baird thinks the Building Commis- sioner has authority to remove signs and collect the cost of the work from the owner of the sign or the building on which it is erected. Where a bill- board has been erected without a per- mit, Baird thinks the Bullding Commis- sioner should proceed against the owner of the billboard, and the owner of the ground, under the provisions of Section 500 of the Revised Code. This section provides that three days’ notice be giv- en, and that on conviction of the of- fender he may be fined $% to $500. Baird holds the ground owner is Hable in these proceedings, whether or not sent. Baird thinks one section of the city ordinance might be construed to give the Building Commissioner power to condemn illegal billboards, remove them and collect the cost of this work from the owners. | McKelvey, however, still undecided about his authority to raze the boards. arranged a conference with Baird for Friday afternoon. McKelvey therefore obtained an opin- jon from City Counselor Baird, Thurs- day. Men Compiling a List. McKelvey repeated what he has said several times, that he was continuing his preliminary preparations to raze the billboards if he finds he has power to do so. Five men in his office, who are compiling a list of billboards in St. Louis, also are looking up the records in the assessor's offices te see who owns each billboard and who owns the prop- erty upon which the billboards stand. Twenty-five inspectors, he said, are canvassing the city, making note of the what manner the billboards have been his ‘erected in violation of the 19 ordi- 4 met od cia ka Pd at * * nes „ = from the ground, closer than six feet to the adjoining’ building, less than 15 feet from the sidewalk’ or more than 14 feet high.“ McKelvey said he could not tell how soon the notices would be mailed to owners of billboards and owners of property. There are 900 billboards in St. Louis, and 1800 notices will be mailed, one to the owner of each bill- , board and one to the owner of the | property on which each billboard stands. |The commission said the owners would have three days, after receiving the notices, in which to tear down the bill- boards or remodel them to comply with | the 1905 ordinance. ¢ After the three-day limit expires, Mc- Kelvey said, he will proceed to raze the billboards if he finds he has authority to do so.

Mr. H. Wacker, who lives at 1523 College avenue, and who is em- ployed by the A. Leschen & Son Rope Co., of St. Louls, says: “About a year ago l was laid up in bed with a bad attack of stomacn trouble; since then my stomach has been giving me trouble more or less all the time and I had to be very careful what I ate. It affected my nerves and seemed to undermine my general health. About a month ago my condition became much worse and I had another bad attack. A friend of mine suggested that I try Plant Juice, so I begun taking it. I have only been using it two weeks but the improvement in my condition is wonderful. I feel 50% better in every way; my nerves are stronger and I sleep fine.now and can eat any- thing I want without suffering any pain afterwards. Plant Juice is sure a fine medicine and I have come in to get two bottles for my wife.” We are both well pleased with the results in my case.” As a remedy for stomach trou- bles nothing equals Plant Juice.

GILLETT’S BLUNDER. studied President Wilson’s Mexican policy and read his utterances with a dull, biased mind, if he can see in them nothing more than a partisan desire to reverse the policy of his Republican prédecessor. Mr. Gillett's strictures on Mr. Bryan as Secre- tary of State are wide of the point. Regardle:s of Mr. Bryan’s conduct in office—whether he has failed to give international problems the attentioa they deserve or not—the Mexican policy of the Government has been distinguished by high in- telligence and an exceptional standard of interna- President Wilson has viewed the Mexican ques- tion from a new and inspiring standpoint. He has not made the protection of the material interests of foreigners and the suppression of disorder the sole objects of this Government, but has sought to promote the interests of the Mexican people by héiping them to a permanent settlement of their differences on the basis of a firmly establisned constitutional Government. He has recognized the right of Mexicans to fight for their rights and to solve their own political and economic prob- lems. He has branded dictatorships, founded upon selfish interests and supported by greedy foreign concessionaires, as no longer tolerable and as be- yond the pale of American sympathy and recog- nition. In defining his policy the President has laid down principles and standards which have won the admiration of all men of light and leading and which will profoundly influence the foreign policies, not alone of America, but of all civilized nations. He has put the United States in the fore- front of the movement for the establishing of righteousness in international dealings. If Mr. Gillett cannot understand and appreciate this new standpoint and these high principles in our Mexican policy, the fault is in him, not in the President or Mr. Bryan. The charge of par- tisanship lies against Mr. Gillett. Nor is there reason to believe that the situa- tion is worse than it would have been had the ad- ministration used the strong arm in Mexico. Cer- tainly war would have been precipitated, with tre- mendous losses to this country and all foreign in- terests. The Mexican people .might have been united in support of Dictator Huerta. The Wilson policy has weakened Huerta’s power and built up @ strong constitutional party which is working with the United States. If forcible intervention should be necessary the Mexican people will under- stand that it is for their benefit and not for the aggrandizement of the United States or the en- richment of foreign financial bandits. We shall be in the strongest possible position, with a chance o: winning the sympathy of a large element of the Mexican people.

It is reported from Washington that the Presi- dent looks with great disfavor upon the proposed rider to the postoffice appropriation bill taking 2400 assistant postmasters of the first and second class offices out of the classified service. The rider to the postoffice bill was not devised in the interest of the Democratic party, for it is contrary to Democratic principles. It was devised by Democratic Congressmen who are trying to build up political machines in their own districts for their own benefit. Many of them are dubious about renomination. Others are dubious abovt re-election. Comparatively few of them have strong political organizations back of them or the means of creating such organizations. Therefore, they have undertaken to demoralize the postal service in order to build up machines for them- selves at the public expense. : In spite of the admirable work that this Con- ‘gress has already done, the Democratic party cannot go before the country on a cheap record of spoils-mongering. That is Tammanyizing the party of Woodrow Wilson, and Tammany is not a very inspiring model for a Democratic Congress to follow. = = * — Uplift in graft-harried Bast St. Louis is well started.

Especially should the men in uniform. be cautioned against making needless arrests of boys, for trifling breaches of decorum. Policemen in Old World cities pride themselves on keeping order without making arrests. The London “bobby” who should find it necessary to make many arrests, under ordinary conditions, would be deemed incompetent for his duty. They are taught to conelliate as well as to compel. Cleveland’s low record of arrests for 1913 is a model for other American cities. Cleveland's po- licemen are taught not.to meddle unduly; to hel» a man get home instead of hauling him to a cell when he takes the “glass too much” and is merely “at sea,” but not a peace breaker; to keep their hands strictly off the boys and girls except for serious infractions of peace and order. - Needless arrests are censurable because arrest | nd his family to shame and expense, entails loss lowers the self-respect of the victim, subjects him tional ethics. 1 1 | dockets and piles up a big bill of expense for the ST.

The loss far outweighs the gain. = = * — „ Boston's choice of a Mayor is bewildering, but what is to be expected from a city that holds its municipal election in January? = = a FOR A GRAFTLESS CAPITOL. The last phase of the new capitol scandal to be made public by the Post-Dispatch subordinates the part played by Secretary of State Roach and State Treasurer Deal, whose names have been mentioned as co-operating with State Auditor Gordon, and renders more conspicuous the part played by Assistant Attorney-General W. M. Fitch. In fact, Mr. Gordon makes a statement in which he practically assumes responsibility for the visits which, accompanied by the other two State officers, he made in an effort to dictate the agency from which the contractor’s bond should be obtained. It was friends of Mr. Gordon, and not of the other two, for whom the $12,000 in- demnity fees were successfully solicited. It appears that Mr. Gordon showed impatience when Lowest Bidder William Dall declined to yield to official pressure in the matter of select- ing a bonding agency. Among the sharp retorts of the interview, the State Auditor is charged with making this one: Well, you haven't got the contract yet.“ And Mr. Dall didn’t have it. He hasn't got if up to this time. Three days after the Gordon- Dall interview, Mr. Fitch, assistant to Attorney- General Barker, rendered an opinion to the effect that the Building Commission could not consider the Dall bid. It was informal, he said, because it submitted no definite figures on “alternate” propositions. a 1 No written request had been made for this snap opinion. It ignored the specific language in which the Building Commission had reserved the right to waive any informalities and to reject any and all bids. | Neither did the Fuller Construction Co. who} also had refused to obtain a bond from Mr. Gor- don’s friends, get thé contract: John Gill & Sons were given the contract, who consented to dis- tribute the $12,000 agency fee as Mr. Gordon in- sisted it should be distributed. The proportions of the scandal are in no way diminished by the State Auditor’s explanations. What's the difference, if I did solicit the bond for those men?“ he asks defiantly. In Mr. Gor- don’s automobile transaction there was this dif- ference: That the State got no benefit from con- cessions by which Mr. Gordon profited personally. The business of providing Missouri with the new Statehouse for which it has borrowed $3,000,000 must not be conducted on the same principle. Explanations are due from Mr. Fitch and Mr. Barker on the peculiar logic on which the former’s extraordinary opinion was based. The whole exist- ing status of the building project needs publft scrutiny. Graftiess capitol buflding must be in- sisted on. - == i i THE STUBBORN TREE PLANTER. The citizen who insisted on planting trees of forbidden species in St. Louis streets and was fined $130 for doing it, would seem to have for- gotten that the streets are public, not private property. : Still, considering how easily some other citi- zons, incorporated to provide public service, ob- tain free and virtually unrestricted use of the streets, this erring citizen’s mistake was perhaps not wholly without warrant in logic. What amazes us most, in this affair, is that no city official has offered to “compromise” the case on payment of 50 per cent of the fine. Is it possible the stubborn tree planter controls no votes but his own? Or are we to understand that the city government aims to enforce the full rigor of the law against unincorporated citizens, reserving its soft compromises“ for the big fel- lows who have taken the trouble to incorporate and hire a staff of lawyers, lobbyists and other retainers? = = * WHOSE ASSETS? If State Auditor Gordon is willing “to go down the line any time for his friends and is glad to have the world know it,” the Missouri public has no objection, provided when he goes he uses his own assets rather than those of the State. For whom was he “going down the line” when he bought the motor cars? = = = ree A OOTTON-GOODS SUGGESTION. The suggestion of a Post-Dispatch correspond- ent, “Put an export tax on a bale of cotton; this is sure to come,” is of course, impractical. Export taxes of all kinds being prohibited by the Constitution, it is pretty sure not to come, for there is no evidence that the people would consent to a change. The object of the suggestion is, of course, to handicap foreign and stimulate domestic cotton manufacture by keeping the raw material in this country. The point that more cotton goods ought to be made in the country from which the world obtains its chief supply of raw material is, however, sound enough. Of all manufacturing centers, St. Louis, cne of the world's greatest distribution points in the cotton fabric trade, is the center to which it is most pertinent. That cotton in bales should be shipped thousands of miles to foreign industrial cities and then shipped back in the form of manufactured cotton is absurd. But it is also absurd that cot- ton raised a few. miles from St. Louis should be shipped to remote foreign and domestic factories and then shipped back as a fabric to be supplied from St. Louis to consumers throughout the South and Southwest. The Greater St. Louis will be brought within close view as soon as we lay effective plans for making in St. Louis a greater proportion of the goods distributed from here. Commanding already the selling end, or more important end, of trade in fabrics and dry goods generally, motor cars, agricultural machinery, paper and many other articles in a wide stretch of territory, the gains of a larger part in the manufacturing end of a 9 LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUAI 5 — errr —— — — * THE CIRCUS. old party— crat’s foe? so hearty a It sang of itself a few With bugles all blowing proud waving, tattoo, we're saving’ balloo. would assemble, They jeered the poor cackled thereat, shiver and tremble and fat. departed hoge, thing started— dogs!

On the other hand, the Federals have raided and almost wrecked the Phillies, while they have snared at least one from the Cardinals and a flock of three from the Superbas. “Why, we had most. of our players signed last fall,“ Johnson told the writer in Col. Hedges’ office Thursday. “Right now we have at least 90 per and there’s no reason why we should fear the Federals. We have done a lot for the players. The immense con- crete stands erected by every magnate in the American League, are monu- ments to the bali--pldyers’ profession. The salaries are good and furthermore we assure them. The player has nothing to gain by jumping the American League.“ Johnson is loath to talk about the Federal League. However, the com- placency with which he views the im- pending war. forces one to feel that the American League fences have beer built too high to permit of a raid. Johnson is letting Charles Webb Murphy and Garry Hermann do all the talking. By so doing he is directing the fire of the Federal field guns on the National League. The American League has escaped serious iniury to date,. Experience gained in the famous raids of 1901 and 1902 probably is of great aid to the American League in this crisis. Ban Johnson, Thursday, grew reminiscent and told how, in 1902, the motherly old National League refused to take the American seriously until the invading young body had swiped its stars. “I remember how hard it was for Col. Rodgers of Philadelphia to real- | ize that the American League meant cent of all our players under contract By W. J. O’Connor. YRON B. JOHNSON, who owns the master mind of the American League, is cleverly forcing the National League to shoulder the onus of the burden in the baseball war with the Federals. one ballplayer has jumped his reservation in the junior organization and he—King Cole of the Yanks—is not considered a star. So far, only business back in the war days of 1901,” said Johnson. Rodgers friend would go to him and say: ‘Colonel, the American Leaguers have pur- chased a park site,’ and the grand old Colonel would laugh at and ridicule his friends. A week later another frieni would call and tell the Colonel: They are breaking ground for th stand, Cofonel.’ But he continued to lauch and make fun of us. One day Rodgers went out for a ride and was surprised to see a ball park had sprung up right under his nose. A few weeks later the American League was in Philadelphia with sev- eral stars that formerly played for Col. Rodgers. You know it’s well at all times to play the game safe.” — — Silence to Fight Silence. Sut sequent to Johnsons wunan- nounced visit to this city. Owner Hedges of the local team announced Thursday that he would not tell the names of those players who have signed. “If the Federals aré after any of my men, let them canvass my players and find out who is and who isn’t signed,” Hedges declared. Ths announcement that Dee Walsh, the young shortstop who has been a member of the Browns, off and on, for the past two season, had been re- ieased to the Montgomery (Southern League) club was followed Thuraday by Walsh's visit to Col. Hedges. Sub- sequently it was rumored that Walsh would jump to Mordecai Brown's Fed- erals rather than return to the South- ern Iaague. : : — — T Fe b FIRE IN OUR BUILDING tion.

Mr. Jarr thought she looked like a lady porcupine as well as spoke like one. “Me, for a bakery then, kiddo?’ ne asked wistfully. „Kiddo'“ shook herself impatiently and retorted in muffled tone: . “Go out to the kitchen and eat the chicken salad—it wasn't touched. Ger- trude forgot to serve it.” “It's that yellow varnished mess De Stylla, the caterer, descendant of the Borgias, furnished you cheaper than veal can be bought by the pound, let alone chicken”—— began Mr. Jarr. That's no lookout of mine,“ retorted the lady porcupine. “De Stylla is the leading caterer. There's the chicken salad, and that's all the breakfast you'll ‘| get in this house!“ ‘And the lady porcupine drew the cov- erlet over the spikey kid crimpers t iisignify she was going to slumberland and that the interview was over. * Mr. Jarr went out to the kitchen and “Why married men leave home!” he and slipped out into the pale) * * By Roy * McCardell For men must work while women can sleep, even in most select social cir- cles.

He resumed: “Witnesses declare that if they got films from. outside firms they could have none from the trust. Such insatiability recalls Dr. Thirdly’s words to his congregation on a sultry August evening. ' **T see a great many of you sleep- ing,’ said the good doctor mildly. ‘I do not wonder at this, for your work & hard and many of you have come a long way.

The warmth and comfort thawed the heart of the oldest boarder. In an expansive moment he turned toward the landlady, who was his only companion in the room, and, clasping her hands fondly, murmured: “Will you be my wife?“ The woman did not start or blush. No maidenly coyness shone from her clear, cold eyes. “No, sir,” she replied, with calm de- liberation. I'm sorry, but I cannot marry you. You've been here four years, and &re much too good a boader to be put on the free list. 3 — — | Just What He Said. J the early days of Arizona an el- derly and pompous Chief Justice was presiding at the trial of a celebrated murder case. An aged negro had been ruthlessly killed and the only eyewit ness to the murder was a very small negro boy. When he was called te give his testimony the lawyer for the defense ohjected on the ground that he was too young to know the nature of an oath, and in examining him asked: „What would happen to you ff you told a lie?“ De debbiF ud git mer“ the bey re- plied. : Tes, and T'd get you,” sternly said = — Now that Mendel Beilis has deen The one indisputable evidence threatened by the Black Hundred, per-|fairness of the Dominician haps Senator Vardaman will take a] the fact that the party in hand in the game.—Columbia State. 10 2 Sale of This even the Chief Justice.

Before departing, however, she de- cided to try to reap some of the fruit of her labors; so, turning to.the class. she said: “Now, would any of you like fo ask me any questions? I have a few min- utes to spare, so if there is anything ycu want to knew don't hestitate to ask.” Little Freddy rose to his feet with an eagerness which delighted his instruc- tor. “Please, tacher,” he inquired, without even the semblance of a biush, “have you got any cigarette pictures on you?” A CE .
