Fletcher, chairman of the committee. ~ “The committee had intended to have its report ready by next Friday,” said Dr. Fleteher. “But since City Counselor Baird has gone to New York to get an opinion on the validity of bonds issued by use of- the initiative, and the Citi- gens’ Committee has made preparations to invoke the initiative, it seems to me that a report from our committee favor- ‘ing the Alton & Mississippi plan would tend to complicate matters, and proba- os 2 ie gene other bitter fight. rt Wouldn't End Deadlock.” +a the situation now exists, the Coun- ‘éll would not accept the Alton & Missis- sippi proposition.

I am confident that the House vol Delegates will fall in line and subunit the Reber approach bond issue when the petitions come in. I inferred from what Telegate Gallagher said to me that the House of Delegates would not try to complicate the stuation by forcing the submission of the Alton & Mississipp: bond issue at the same election. “Supporters of the Northeast aporoac* have ed me to make a fight for the | also of that proposition. | told them that I thought the people would be entitie] to a square deal if they went to the trouble and expense of petitioning 2s for the privilege of voting on the Reber approach bonds, and that I, for one, would not stand for any other vropositions going to the people at the same time.

The first shipment of Chinese eggs real hen’s eggs, laid in China, arrived in St. Louis Monday. There were 100 cases, containing 36,000 eggs and they fame all the way from Canton. They were shipped to the F. W. Brockman Commission Co., 815 North Fourth street. Under the new tariff law eggs from foreign countries are admitted free of duty. China has a surplus of eggs, as this is the laying season there. Brockman said he could sell the eggs to retailers at 20 cents a dozen and still make a profit. The whole- sale price of domestic eggs in 8t. Louis Monday was 26 cents a dozen. The Chinese eggs came across the Pacific Ocean in a ship’s hold under refrigeration and Brockman says their quality should be better than the average cold storage eggs sold in this .market. AMAZONS ARE FOUND ON BANKS OF THE AMAZON Harvard Explorer Tells of Visit to South Américan Village Where Women Rule, CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 23.—Dr. Hamilton Rice, Harvard explorer anil scientist, thinks he has discovered the home of the ancient Amazons. Dr. Rice returned recently to this country after seven years of exploration between the upper Amazon and Orinoco River ba- sins in South America. In searching for an exchange of canoe crews he found a small ‘settlement of men and women along the banks of Icana River. The women appeared to be permanent residents, but the men were mostly from the tribes along the River Guiana, the doctor states. This seemed peculiar to the scientist, and his wonder was increased when he opened negotiations and found that he had to deal with the women. One ap- peared to be the chief power of the set- tlement. zg After vain parileys, entreaties and ar- guments with the militant Amazon leader, Dr. Rice decided he must gain the service of the men by force. He threatened to burn the village. ne women came to terms immediately and the services of three men and a boy were granted. Dr, Rice learned that the village was under feminine domination, and that masculine society was tolerated only twice a year. + oe RICH TURFMAN’S BRIDE, WHO SHOT SELF, DIES Accident, Say Family of Mrs. Lawrence Simpson of Ken- Formerly of Chicago.

GERMAN PASSENGER SHIP SENDS WORD OF DISTRESS THE LIZARD, Fep. 23.—"S. O. 8.” signals from the German steamer Wild- enfels were picked up by her sister ship, Trautenfels, and communicated by wire- less to the signal station at the Lizard today. The Wildenfels was then hair way across the Bay of Biscay on her Way from Hamburg to Calcutta with pussengers and freight. A later wire'ess dispatch from the British steamer La Correntina, bound from La Plata for England, says that the Wildenfels does not require any help. The message ended with the cryptic phrase: “The living crew are saved.’’ Shipping men here are unable to un- derstand what this means unless it indi- cates that there was an explosion on board. ‘make such verification, 50 per cent LETTERS NEARLY SWAMP.

BUSINESS HAS HOLIDAY, BUT SCHOOLS STAY OPEN Children Do Not Observe Wash- ington’s Birthday Because It Was Not on School Day. Washington’s birthday coming on Sun- day, it was observed in St. Louis Mon- day by the closing of banks, courts, the various exchanges, the city hall, the Federal Building and other public of- fices.

EDGAR NEAR A GULLAPSE Millionaire, Weeping, Tells How He Pleaded.With Her; Believes She Yet Will Return Home, HE’D DIE FOR HER SAYS Couple Separated Once Before, but Mrs. Edgar Remained Away Only Two Days. Selwyn C. Edgar, wealthy president of the Edgar Zinc Co.. wept in his palatial home at 4379 Lindell boulevard Monday when telling reporters that his wife, several vears younger than he, has gone to Chicago, refusing to return to him. Edgar is in a state bordering on nerv- ous prostration and has been under the care of a physician for three days, It was said he would be unable to leave his bed for some time. He has made public three letters and one telegram to show the efforts which he has made to induce Mrs. Edgar to re- turn to him. She is his third wife. They were married in 193. Edgar is 63 years old. “In the end, | am return to me,” Edgar rolled down his cheeks. much I would dié for her. Wife Left Him Once Before. ‘‘We are both high strung and we have had our little quarrels. About three months ago she left me and Went to the home of an aunt, Mrs. Eugene Williams, but she remained away only two days. Although I received a letter from her last Monday in which she said she never would return, I feel certain she will change her mind. “Yesterday I had a short talk with her over the long distance telephone. She told me she would not come back. If I were physically able to do so I would go to Chicago at once and see her. “In the last few weeks I have had business worries which possibly made me more irritable and quick-spoken than usual, This probably is what caused my wife to leave home. She ai- ways said that if we should separate she knew she couldn't remain away from me more than tWc months. “We have so many mutual friends that for their sake, as well as for our own, I hope there will be a reconcilia- ticn. She is a fine woman and I am, at least, an average man and I know we could be happy together if she would return.” Wife Now With Her Brother. In announcing the separation Edgay said his wife is now at the home of her brother, Alfred. Shotweil, 207 East Chestnut street, Chicago. She left St. louis Feb. 6, he says, ostensibly to visit her brother. Edgar says that on Feb. 14 he can- celed a business trip to Cleveland and New York and went to Chicago to beg his wife to return to him. His wife, he says, told him desired that their separation be permanent. Despite this rebuff, Edgar says, he wrote his wife a lerter last Thursday in which he sa'd: ‘‘Now, baby, come tack and do not welch on your old pau. We have been ecod pals too long for us to part.” In this letter also Edgar told his wife that if she did not return he was “afraid it would get in the papers.” No Reply to Telegram. In this letter, in an apparent effort to be formal, Edgar at times refers to himself in the third person as “your husband’ and again he adopted. the more familiar first person and refers to ‘four home life.’’ Edgar says that when his wife started for Chicago Feb. 6 to visit her brother he put Wer on the train and gave her $51 for expenses. They were then on the best of terms, he says. On Feb. 9, Edgar says, he decided to go to Cherryvale, Kan., where his com- peny has a large smelting plant which frequently requires his personal atten- tion. The company has officers’ quar. ters there. Edgar went to Cherryvale§ and from there sent a telegram to his wife asking her tg meet him in St. Louis on Sunday, Feb. 15. He received no reply, he says, and went to Chicago for a per- sonal talk with Mrs. Edgar. On Feb. 16, he says, he sent her a check for $100 to return to him. In a note ac- companying this check, he wrote: “Return soon. I am nervous and lonesome, and ¥ assure you I need you very badly. Please think, my dear, what we have been to each other all these years. You must know and feel how I worship you.’’ Edgar, in his announcement of the Separation, said that in his nervous state he did not care to travel about the ccuntry and he boped to induce his wife to join him at Cherryvale. He wrote her a letter which he gives out for publication, saying that he deems it best that the separation be frankly dis- cussed. In this letter he addresses Mrs Edgar as “My Darling Wife.”’ After telling her of his nervous con dition and his desire to be where he can have needed attention when sick he pleads with ter to return to him. Mrs. Edgar was Miss Kathryne Shor- well. Her father was Col. R. 8. Shot- well of Chicago, and her grandfather former Gov. O'Neill of Alabama. She was prominent in St. Louis social and musical circles and for several years was a leading figure in the affairs »f the Morning Choral Club and the St. Louls Woman's Club. The Edgars have a summer home at Wequetonsing, Mich. She once narrowly escaped drowning there, when a rowboat capsized.

Sheriff Shuster of Madison County drove 30 miles to bring the child to Springdale, arriving there Sunday night at 9 o'clock. A big crowd had gathered from the surrounding country, eager to get a glimpse of the girl. The crush became so great around the Arcade Hotel that G. A. Gurley of Chi- cago, a friend of Dr. Winters, took the child out on an upper balcony, where by lantern light the crowd could see her, Dr. Winters, on arriving at Springdale, leaped from the train before it stopped. | Vinisk.

The improvement, Street De- partment officials, Say, will cost. con- siderably in excess of $100,000 and will give motorists, and vehicles a much desired short route from down- town to South Side points. The notable improvement, in a civic center way, will be the wid- ening of Twelfth street in front of the city hall, Beginning at Market street. Twelfth street will be widened from 80 to 150 feet for three blocks south to correspond with the present lwidth of Twelfth street between Washington avenue and Market street. Four Courts to Be Razed. This improvement will necessitate the condemnation of a strip of land 40 feet wide on the east side of Twelfth street and 30 feet wide on the west, or city hall side. On the east side of the street it will be nec- essary to cut 40 feet from a big factory building at the southeast cor- ner of Twelfth and Market streets and from other buildings along that side, including’ police headquarters. The old Four Courts and Morgue buildings are to be razed. While 30 feet will be taken from the present city hall lawn, landscape artists say the widened thoroughfare will be more attractive. At Spruce street the thoroughfare will pass over the 80-foot viaduct now being constructed over the rail- road tracks in Mill Creek Valley, from Spruce’ street to Chouteau av- enue.

Twelfth street at present ends abruptly at Hickory street, being ob- eltructed by four blocks of houses ex- tending south to Park avenue. It is planned to cut through these four. blocks of houses to meke an &%-foot roadway that will open Twelfth street and make ii a continuous thoroughfare. The new boulevard will continue along Twelfth street from Hickory street tea Calhoun street. At that point the street Department plans to condemn an ®- fcot right of way diagonally six blocks. This new read would be called Gravois avenue, inasmuch as it would be a northern extension of Gravois avenue from its present northern terminus at Highteenth street and Russell avenue te Twelfth and Calhoun streets. Gravois Avenue Widened. Gravois avenue between Grand avenue and King’s highway also is being wid- ened to 60 feet, forcing telephone com- anies to set back their poles. The opening of a direct southwest route to Gravois avenue over the Twelfth street viaduct, Commissioner Talbert says. will enhance South S'‘de property values millions of dollars. The vicinity of Tower Grove Park, he said, will be especially benefited.

Given Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars to Advance Idea. PTHITLAPELPHIA, Feb. 23.—J osep 1 Fels, millionaire soap manufacturer, single tax advocate and philanthropist, is dead at his home here today after 2 brief illness of pneumonia. He was 31 years old. Fels spent most of his time advocat- ing the: doctrine of the single tax both this country and Great Britain. He recently returned from England. where he had given a large part of his fortune the creation and matnte- nance of a single co-operative colony near London. Emploves of his firm in this city ben- efit by a profit-sharing system inaugu- rathd by Fels. Although he really became an advo- cate of Henry George’s ideas, it was not until he went to live in England, about eight years ago, as the English representative of his firm, that Fels be- gan to devote almost all his time, money and energy to the single tax cause. Since then his friends estimate he -‘ex- pended more than $100,000 annually, and visited every part of the world to ad- vance the propaganda. Not only was he a leader in the cause in this country and England, but he was a large contributor to funds fo~ the single tax campaign in Denmarns, Germany, France, Spain. Australia. New Zealand and Canada, matchinre dollar for dollar the amounts given b: all other contributors. His guarantee to the Fels fund ‘n America with headquarters in Cincin- nati was $25,000 a year: : Fels was born in Halifax Courthouse, Va. He recéived his early education in Baltimore and came to this city when a young man, and with his father and brothers started in the soap business in a small way. He is survived by a widow, three brothers and three sisters WOMAN ENDS LIFE BY A LEAP AS IN SON’S VISION re to Mother of American Charged With Murder in Italy Kills Self as He Arouses Jailer.

It was learned that his mother had ended her life in the manner stated and at the time her son had the vision. SS It Attacks Weak and Strong Alike—But There’s a Remedy.

TELLER | B3YEARSLD, DES br JS Coloradoan Succumbs in Den- wer After an Illness That Lasted Two Years. . 30 YEARS IN U. S. SENATE Cabinet Member Under Arthur, Quit Republican Party in 1896; Favored Free Silver. DENEVR, Colo. Feb. 23.—Henry Moore Teller, former Cabinet officer and for more than 30 years United States Senator from Colorado, died here this morning. Teller was 83 years old and had been ill for two years. His death was not unexpected. Former Senator Teller was born at Granger, N. Y., May 23, 1930, and stud- ied law at Alfred University. He taught school for several years and was admitted to the bar in 1856. From 188 to 1861 he practiced law in Illinois, then removed to Colorado to’ resume the practice of law there. For two years he was a Major-General in the Colo- rado militia, and In 1876 he was elected to the United States Senate, serving a six-year term. From April, 1882, until March, 1885, he served as Secretary of the Interior in President Arthur’s Cab- inet, when he was re-elected. to the Unfted States Senate, serving there for four terms. Henry M. Teller was one of the orig- inal Silver Republicans.”” Many of his supporters contended he was the first. He was so called at any rate, when he left the Republican national convention in St. Louis in 1896 because he did not -egree with the gold standerd plant of the platform and ran again for the Sen- ate in Colorado as an Independent Sil- ver Republican. He was elected with 94 votes out of 100 and after serving that term, the Silver Republicans in Colorado raerged with the Democrats and Mr. Teller returned to the Senate—that time as a Democrat. He served one term as such and retired In 1903 to make a place for the late Senator Hughes, also of the same party. Teller was one of the first Senators elected when Colorado became a Stata. He took a leading part in the congres- sional investigation of the Hayes-Tilden controversy in 1876. While serving his last term in the Sen- ate, Teller was a member of the Na- ‘tional Monetary Commission and con- tinued to serve on that commission until tt expired by law, after he had ceased to be a Senator, however. “ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY.

The Post-Dis- patch Tuesday, Feb. 17, following Dr. Randall's statement, invited him, or any other member of the Assembly, to make use of its columns for anything he cared to say on the bridge question. Dr. Paul Fietcher, chairman of the committee, has sent the Post-Dispatch the following letter, prefacing it with the statement that he wished to take advantage of the invitation to Dr. Ran- dali: ' Dr. Fietcher’s Positiom To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Dear Sir—Your refreshing little editor- ial In today’s issue of the Post-Dispatch under the heading, “So Sweet of Him,” is, in the language of Artemus Ward, “dewly received.” If I could be quite sure that the people of St. Louis had ~ ehosen your excellent paper as their proxy-and spokesman, if I knew, beyond a reasonable doubt, that, on some calm day or stormy night, the whole, or even one-half, of the men and women of St. Louis had delegated to your great and independent editorial genius their in- wiienablie right to mind their own busi- - ness, I should indeed be recreant to my auty if I did rot at-once surrender my personal views and opinions on public questions and with proper humility and -~in full contrition admit my past mis- deeds and do penance in sackcloth and ashes at tiie foot of your editorial throne. But do you speak with full au- thority? and if so, when and where were you invested with these broad pow- ers? No, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, I shall con- tinue to oppose the Reber approach proposition until such time as, in my judgment, the obstacles which render t untenable have been removed. I regret that I cannot, in conscience, _. get a back seat, at least, in your jour- - malistic bandwagon, for one would be in truth dense and stupid not to appre- e fact that the good will and sup- @ powerful newspaper is an as- in public office. f 234 - WARD, FoReSsT PRRK WOMEN 10 WATCH POLLS IN GHICAG ELECTION TUESDAY Repeaters to Be Challenged in Effort to Defeat Alder- man John Coughlin. CHICAGO, Feb. %.—Women watchers will be stationed Tuesday in every poll- ing place in the First Ward, where suf- fragists are making an attack on the Democratic organization which has kept John Coughlin and Michael Kenna in the City Council for more than 20 years. The women will work in the interest of Miss Marion Drake, unopposed at the pri- maries for the Progressive nomination for Alderman. The First Ward contains many cheap ledging houses which, it is. charged, house a large number of ‘‘repeaters’”’ and “floaters.” The instructions issued to- day to the watchers include lists of reg- istered voters by precincts—men, pri- mary voters and names which have been stricken from the register. The women were advised to challenge all suspicious persons, compel them to make affidavit and see that it is accom- panied by a householders’ affidavit. They were told to get detailed descrip- tions of all whose votes were challenged and if they possessed the talent, to make sketches of them. They were informed as to their rights at the booths and to let no one ‘boss’ them. plain and unmistakable wishes of their ccnstituents, once those wishes are clearly expressed and known; but in this instance {1 sincerely believe that the tank and file of our people are not dis- | posed to present the municipal bridge t. the Terminal] Association. I may be in error In my cpposition to the Reber approach and if such is the fact a fair referendum wili demonstrate my mistake. To this end I will say to your paper that should the Buisness Men's League succeed in securing the requisite num- ber of signers to the initiative petition which they propose circulating, I shall use every endeavor to facilitate the prompt submission of their proposition t» the voters of St. Louis. I will go further and say that I will oppose any effort to confuse the issue by burdening the ballot with any alternative propo sition unless such alternative if mace possible through the initiative itself. If the initiative is to be invoked to ihe end that the Peber approach may be adopted by che electors it should he sub mitted untrammeled and acted upon free of any confusing distractions. I know no better way to settle this un- fortunate muddle than that offered through a jealously guarded referendum. I would remind the editor that I fa- thered the present initiative and referen- dum amendment to the city charter and would also call his attention to the fact that it received several hundred vctes in excess of the three-fifths neces- sary to pass it. On the same ballot were two other propositions, to wit: Increase of salary of Assemblymen and the proposition to issue bonds for the Reber approach. The people killed the latter two. The constitutional amendments were on an entirely separate sheet and there- fore had nothing to do with the defeat cf the bonds, your claim to the contrary, notwithstanding. Respectfully, PAUL R. FLETCHER. WHAT YOU SWEATED OUT LAST SUMMER Through 5,000,000 Pores of the Skin, Must Be Strained Off by the Liver This Winter. Is it any wonder the Bile dams up in the Liver? Is it any wonder that you have blood waves? That your tongue is coated, that you are dizzy, bloated, achey and utterly stupid? Without Bile to purify the food in intestines your blood food is contami- nated with the putrifying mass. The whole mucus lining becomes coated. PODOLAX RELEASES THE BILE. Nature soon catches up if you will release the Bile. The Bile disinfects and purifies the bowels and food. Since the days of Jacob, Mandrake (the biblical name of May-Apple) has been used. Your ancestors used May- Apple-Root Tea; your father used Po. dophyllin (the medical name for May- Apple Root). Those days it was a bit- ter dose, and griped, but it released the Bile. Nowadays it is just as effective in releasing the Bile—and in PoDoLax the bitterness and Griping have been eliminated. A spoo every night for three or four days will release the Bile, and after occasional use for a month the results will show by an in. creasé in weight. The children like it. You can reason—you know that free Bile flow means a healthy, vigorous body. We guarantee that PoDoLax will so you are justified in release the Bil + an 50¢ for a bottle.

This vast surn is to be New York’s contribution to the Government _§re- sources through the workings of the income tax law. The.estimate is rough at the vest, for no one can tell what the earnings of the great corporations here will be. In fact, the tax payable here may greatiy exceed the $30,000,009 estimate and in some quarters it is be- lieved that it will be nearer $60,000,000. SHOE CO.

Everything I ate seemed to disagree with me; gas would form in my stomach after eat- ing, giving me great distress. Some- times I would bloat up and had an awful feeling of fullness in my stom- ach that nothing seemed to relieve. My liver was very sluggish, I was full of malaria and felt tired and worn out all the time. Since I be- gan taking Plant Juice I can see a very marked change in my condi- tion in every way, my appetite is good, my food does not distress me, there is no more gas or bloating and my liver is acting fine. I am well pleased with Plant Juice and can recommend it to others.” Plant Juice puts the whole system into healthy condition, clears the blood of all impurities and poisons, stimulates the sluggish, torpid liver into action, corrects constipation and regulates the bowels, eradicates all malaria from the system, tones up the stomach and digestive organs, helps the circulation and enriches the blood and strengthens weak kidneys.

Grab Astonish- ing to Constituents. The Post-Dispatch is printing from jay to day maps of the city’s 28 wards that voters all over town may cnow who their respective Delegates re and whether their views on the ree bridge question are represented , misrepresented in the House. The Twenty-third Ward is represent- ed in the House of Delegates by Hubert J. Hoffner of 12 South Newstead av- enue, a Democrat. He has a coal and teaming company at 1236 South Vande- venter avenue. He has stood steadfast with 16 other Democrats and five Republicans in the House combine to delay action to com- plete the free bridge, by supporting the discredited $4,200,000 A. & M. real estate grab, and opposing the submission of a bond issue for $2,750,000 to build the Re- ber approach. Hoffner’s action is astonishing to his constituents, who on three occasions have given overwhelming majorities in favor of the Reber approach, twice vot- ing more than four to one for the Reber approach bonds, and the second time giving within a few. votes of a two- thirds majority for them. In 1911 the vote was 1339 for the bonds and only 329 against them. At the spe- clal election in August, 1912, the vote was 1829 for the bonds and only 454 against them. In both these elections the vote was more than four to one for the bonds. In November, 1911, there were 2366 votes cast for the bonds and only 1237 against them, the majority lacking only a few votes of being two- thirds. Many Voters Business Men. The Twenty-third Ward includes some ofthe best residence sections of the city, and many of its voters are business men ‘whose business would be benefited by the completicn of the bridge. Robert G. Craig of 4132 Washington boulevard, secretary of the 8S. G. Adams Stamp and Seal Co., 412 North Sixth street, believes his ward is even stronger for the Reber approach now than ever before. “The people are more thoroughly in- formed about the relative merits of the different approaches than in the past,” he said. ““‘The Fost-Dispatch has given them a clear understanding, and the talk that I hear is practically unani- mous for the Reber approach. In fact, 1 do not know of anybody supporting the A. & M. proposition except its pro- moters and the House of Delegates. ‘‘Bonds for the Reber approach would earry, I am fully convinced, but it cer- tainly would be a waste of time to submit bonds for the A. & M. approach.” Charles P. Ladd of 434 McPherson av- enue, a director of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., is another who cannot under- stand the opposition to the Reber ap- proach by the Delegate from the Twent- ty-third Ward. “The people fully understand the mer- its of the approaches,” he said, ‘‘and there can be no question that the senti- ment is overwhelming for the Reber ap- proach. The people would never vots bonds for any other approach, and I am satisfied thy would vote bonds for the lieber approach. “The uncompleted bridge is a disgrace to St. Louis, and it is a disgrace of which the people are becoming very tired. If given an opportunity to build the Reber approach, they will not let it remain uncompleted long.” “A. & M. Scheme of Delay.” Charles A. Cox of 462 Westminster place is president of the Cox & Gordon Packing Co., 1019 South Third street, in the shadow of the uncompleted free bridge. “It seems to me that the supporters of the A. & M. proposition are supporting it with a full knowledge that it would »e defeated at the polls. That would mein that there is no intention of submit- ting a plan which would be carried out, and that the A. & M. is put up solely as a means of delaying the completion of the bridge. ‘*Who is interested in delaying its com- pletion? The same old Terminal Rail- road Association, which has had its grip on the business of St. Louis all these vears, and which does not intend to let go that grip until it has made every last fight it has in it, and we have learned that it can fight in all manner Of ways. “IT can see the disgracefully uncom- pleted bridge every time I look out of my office window. It has been an eye- sore so long that we are almost becom- ing used to it. The city ought to com- plete it, and the city ought to build the Reber approach. That is the approach the people want and the only one for which they will vote bon4ds.”’ lL. T. Mathews, Democratic Commit- teeman from the Twenty-third Ward, re- cently told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the bridge should be completed by butld- ing the Reber approach, and that a bond issue would carry in his ward three or, four to one. { innit DO YOU KNOW that your credit is always food to buy a diamond or watch at Loftts Bros. & Co., 2d floor. 308 N. 6th st.?

The school, he} said, adopted the name of “Bezalel,” in tribute to the memory of the first great Hebrew master-craftsman re- corded in history. “Today,” Prof. Schatz said, “the school is housed tn one of the most imposing structures in Jerusalem, is attended by mere than 500 men,]) women and chiléren, has numerous families and groups doing work In|’ their own homes end its producing; || works of art ané@ crafts annually || worth $100,000. | Will Not Copy Ideals. “There are classes in carpet weav-/|. ing, tapestry, filigree work, copper ) work, wood turning, beaten metal work, ivory carving, basket and oaier | |§ work, lace embroidery, drawing,/ I painting and sculpture. There are advanced classes in general subjects, with a band, choir, theatrical and literary societies. The school also|. has a small theater where plays are given. The artistic principles of the} school are two: only the best, and], only Palestine. The object is, first, to create an industry to enable many to earn a livelihood, to promote self- respect and independence; second, to centralize, and industry is spread over the land. | “To begin with, there was no lack] of art, but great lack of bread and/. freedom. The machine has estranged _man from the world of nature. The healthy workman of former ages, who thought over his work with love and care, who gave to mankind ob- jects of art, was no more. It was to revive this type of workman in Pal-| | estine, to equip men and women, boys} and girls, to earn a living, that the school was founded and will continue to grow. The aim will be not to copy from Arab or European models, but], to derive new inspiration from He- brew ideals, from the flora and fauna] of the land, to create an art nouveau, to utilize incidents of Palestineian } | life, old and new, to mold the He-/) brew alphabet into artistic forms for} | decorative purposes; in short, to cre- |. ate a Palestinian renaissance.” Exhibit Opens Today. 4 Prof. Schatz’s aim in exhibiting the work of the school in America, is/|) to bring about its endowment for permanent operation in years to come.

Miss Keady had also taken time care- fully to pack all her clothing and per- sonal belongings and indicate their dis- position by marking them. Miss Keady had attended a moving picture show with Dr. and Mrs. Allen Saturday night, and was apparently in as good spirits as usual. When she re- tired, Dr. Allen said, she requested that no one disturb her Sunday morning. Dr. Allen thought the sleep would do her good, so he did not call her. At 1 o'clock they called her for din- ner, but when they found her room locked they thovght she had gone out unnoticed and made no attempt to enter. About 9 o’clock in the evening Dr. Allen became alarmed and broke open the door and found her dead. She evidently had been dead several hours. Letters Explain Suicide.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Hast St. Louisans show poor judgment in op- posing the efforts of St. Loulsans to have the bridge arbitrary on coal shipments to St. Louis - abolished or absorbed by the lines using the Ter- minal Association. Whether or not the bridge arbitrary is finally’ abolished or absorbed, one feature that has been made clear as a crystal by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the bridge arbitrary is this: That if there is to be an arbi- trary 6r special charge made on any traffic on account of crossing the Mississippi River to or from any one particular shipping point, a like charge will alsO have to be made in connection with all other shipping points where the Missis- sippi River crossing is involved. Fast St. Louls at present gets the same rates on shipments which cross the Mississippi River to the west as does St. Louis, and if the bridge arbi- trary shipments that St. Louls makes to or re- céives from the East is continued under legal sanction of the United States Government, then, of .courze, it follows accerding to even the poor- est logic, that the same arbitrary will also have ta°be levied on shipments that East St. Louis makés to.or receives from the West across the Mississipp! River. It is doubtful whether East St. Loulsans have taken this phase of the situa- tiém {nto account, but the railroeds are aware of it, and after the “shake down” if the arbitrary is not knocked out, it will legally devolve upon the raijroads to put the same arbitrary on East St. Louis shipments to the, west as will be on St. Louis shipments to the east. After all, while having an erbitrary for both Maat St. Louis and St. Louis will cost some of the shipping interests more, yet it will wipe out cer- tain discriminations, and sort of equalize matters generally; East St. Louis can continue enjoying cheaper coal rates than St. Louls on account of ite geographic advantage in being on the other side of the river, and St. Louis will enjoy cheaper rates on shipments to the. West and Southwest than East St. Louls on account of its geographic advantage in. being on this side of the river. 4 : ST. LOWISAN. ‘The: Rooster Nuisance. To the Edéiter ef the Post-Dispatch. As back yard poultry raising is chiefly for eggs, chicken raisers should all know that more eggs are laid where there is no rooster. There is no excuse for keeping us awake any longer. . | CITY SLE EPHRS. Delegates Defying the Public. To the Editer of the Post-Dispatch. I am unfamiliar with our laws touching upon the matter of forcing negligent public officials to observe the wishes of the public, and keep .faith ‘with them, but to my mind the monstrous impo- sition new being perpetrated at the city hall, in the matter of the refusal of certain members of the House of Delegates to submit the Reber ap- ' preach for a bond Issue, is deserving of action by the people of this city, who have tolerated every- thing tn the line of poor municipal government. That a body of sane human beings, who have their wives and children Iiving here, who send their children to echool at the public expense, who receive a eglary from the city, and are component parts of that body of men who make and enforce our laws, should beoome so blind, so perverted, that they will absolutely ignore their best tnter- ests, @s well as that of the entire city, and sub- ject it to everlasting ridicule by attempting to us to accept that which is both possible, namely, the A. & M. ap- proach for tle uncompleted free bridge, is a situa- ‘tion which should be taken vigorously in hand by citizen, and dealt with by methods as those now employed by the : when the servant re- to obey its employer, the servant should be : te su to one who will discharge to whom he fs indebt- CITIZEN in the White House. ‘Wiison ie not merely a tut-tut-er.

The Citizens’ Bridge Completion Committee may wisely consider supplementing the initia-| tive petition for the bond issue with a proposal to repeal or amend the Southern Traction loop franchise. The only apparent obstacle to the success of the bond election is the opposition to the South- ern Traction loop franchise. As the Post-Dis- patch has frequently pointed out, this should pot be an obstacle. The Southern Traction Co. Phas no franchise on the bridge. Its bridge fran- chise has been repealed. It can use the bridge only on equal terms with other lines. It has only 2a loop franchise on St. Loufs streets. We have opposed the repeal of the loop fran- chise. We have favored amending it by reducing its life term from 50 to 25 years and retaining a purchase option after 10 years, or making it an indeterminate franchise with an option on the part of the city to purchase at any time. We believe that the city should keep faith with the company. There is, however, a widespread opposition to the franchise on account of the time and manner of the grant and because it originally included a franchise on the bridge. This opposition was a strong factor—probably the determining factor— in defeating the bridge bond issue. The completion of the bridge is the vital thing. This is paramount to every other consideration. Until an approach is built, neither the city or any railroad can enjoy the use of the bridge— the Southern Traction loop is an empty grant. If amending the franchise will assure the bridge bond issue, let it be amended, If repeal is necégsary to the voting of the bond issue, let it be repealed. If a popular vote on repeal or amendment will help the bond issue, submit one cr both proposals. Fair terms can be made for the entrance of the Southern Traction and other Mnes after the bond issue is submitted. Perhaps the new char- ter will be adopted by that time and the city will be free to act for the public interest. Above all, let us assure the completion of the bridge. NINE USEFUL ‘‘OLD GENTLEMEN.’’ No legislation for.the public good is safe until nine old gentlemen on the supreme bench have declared that it conforms with the Con- stitution of 127 years ago. We are governed by the dead.—Judson King in Post-Dispatch interview. : What method would Mr. King prescribe for reaching agreements on which there must he national acquiescence? By the Latin-American method of organizing an insurrection and enforc- ing your viewpoint on fundamental questions by arms? ee SS RIVER DEEPENING BY DAMS. The War Department engineers’ report against dams for deepening the Mississippi seems to be based solely on their cost. A dam at Jefferson Barracks and Commerce, Mo., would, they say, cost $428,000,000, or more than the Panama Canal. The works at Keokuk, including dam, powerhouse, ship canal, dry dock, elaborate machinery and the real estate for 65 miles of backwater cost but $25,000,000. The backwater rights would, of course, cost more at Jefferson Barracks, for whose power installation a total estimate of $191,000,000 is made. But why should works at Commerce cost so much more than $25,000,000 as the difference between $191,000,000 and $428,000,000? In view of the estimates made by other en- gineers, this statement of probable cost seems absurd. Lyman Cooley of Chicago, who has de- voted more study to the problem than any other engineer, places the total cost at a figure so much lower as to be easily paid for in a few years by the sale of power. = = * i i The reversal of Ray Pfanschmitt'’s conviction in Illinois is less an expression of confidence in his innocence than of distrust as to the value of bloodhounds in American jurisprudence. =. * '-~ - = THE SOULS OF CITIES. James Schermerhorn of the Detroit Times com- plains that American cities have no souls. He would, according to the Literary Digest, construct an “all soul” city from the following ingredients:. We will put Detroit's low-price recreative facilities on island and river into this all- soul city, and we will throw in for good measure cur anti-tuberculosis camp. We will go to New York and put in her Straus milk foundation, the Fleischmann bread line and her few model tenements, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and hospitals. We will put in Cleveland’s group scheme of public buildings and her 8-cent fares. We will put in Galveston’s commission ‘form of government; Seattle's initiative, ref- erendum and recall; Houston’s municipal auditorium and band; Portland’s festival of roses; Berkeley's (Cal.) Gresk theater; River- side’s sinuous driveway up Mount Rubidoux. We will put in Atlanta's firm but humane method of expelling organized vice: we shall get from Kansas City, Kan., the blessing of a salooniess city; from the Minneapolis traf- fic rules a tender and alert concern for the physical welfare of passengers and pedes- trians. ; We will put tn Chicago's scheme of water- front adornment and a public-school supervi- Sion that does not shrink from the sacred duty of teaching the young ‘about. their bodies. We will get from Kansas City her scheme of cottage building for the workers: from Bal- timore the sale of municipal bonds of small denominations -to the people, and municipal wharves. We will take the Boston public MWbrary; the Boston Common and Ford Hall (the great Sunday night melting pot of races and creeds) and put them in. We will want Denver's juvenile court and San Francisco's extension of the right of suf- frage to women. Mr. Schérmerhorn As guilty of-a sad oversight in omitting to include St. Louis homes in his catalogue. The city with a soul must have beav- of St. Louis. Strangers are always impressed with upon the homes of the wealthy grouped in splendid | Places, but as their hosts’ automobiles speed them to the farthest north ‘or the most distant south, they find the workers better housed than in any other city. Nor should Mr. Schermerhorn have overlooked St. Louis’ public schools, which are models for the world. Other features of St. Louis which should aid to give soul to a city are many and every reader o’ the Post-Dispatch is competent to make the list. In fact, so much that fs lovely and worthy ‘of good report may be found within our half-moon that St. Louis might well claim to be the ideal city possessing a Soul. | . _-_ % ~~ Federal tax returns show eight St. Louisans with incomes of more than $100,000 and one with $470,000 a year.

Councilman Fletcher’s letter, written in re- sponse to our offer to print statements of sup- porters of the A. & M. project and published elsewhere in today’s Post-Dispatch, misses the main point. Confessing his inability to fellow the. Post-Dispatch’s leadership in support of the city’s approach he says nothing in extenuation of his support of the A. & M. project. We may grant Dr. Filetcher’s plea for the right of personal conviction on the approach and for- give him for not seeing as clearly as the Post- Dispatch and thousands of others the changed conditions which remove the objections to and enhance the advantages of the Reber approach, but how can his support of the A. & M. grab be defended? No objections that may be argued against the city’s approach justify saddling on the city a job for the benefit of a group of land and rail- road speculators. Dr. Fletcher ought to see this. BA TORE ERO IO canditidinsietntiauaniatiniiiiaéa SOAKING THE SUBMERGED. In an effort to prevent the cowardly and in- human practice of reaping big profit from men who are “down and out,” the State Legislature passed a stringent law for the regulation of pri- vate employment bureaus. : One of the provisions of this law (Sec. 7797 Re- vised Statutes) is that no employment bureau shall charge more than $1 for putting the name of an applicant for a job on its books. If, after 30 days, the bureau has failed to obtain employment for the applicant, the $1 must be refunded to him. That the $1 was all the Legislature proposed the man out of work should be called upon to pay is evident from Sec. 7801 of the same article in the Statutes, which provides that any employment agency that shall agree to furnish employment or situations to any person or persons, and who “shall receive any money, personal property or such agreement, shall be guilty of a misdemean- or, and shall, on conviction, be punished by a fine of not exceeding $1000 nor less than $100, or con- fined in the county jail or workhouse no longer tban one year nor less than 60 days.”’ A correspondent charging that this provision is continually violated, the Post-Dispatch made inquiry of several employment agencies that are classified in the telephone directory as “high- grade.”’ All but one admitted that the applicant was charged extra for a job. Under the law permitting these employment agencies, the State Labor Commissioner has the power, and it is his duty, to revoke the license of any agency whenever, in his judgment, the li- censed party shall have violated any provision of the law. Why are not the licenses of agencies which use their powers to “soak the submerged” “all the traffic ~ill hear,” promptly revoked? >= = ™ a. a MORE BABIES MUST BE SAVED. The annual report of the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission, showing that St. Louis, thanks to the distribution of pure milk and free ice, had, in 1913, the lowest infantile death rate of any large city, who contributed to the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk Fund. gives due’ credit to the thousands’ St. Louis may be justly proud of the show- ing. About 1,000 babies were cared for by the Pure Milk Commission. uting stations were maintained, and 10 physi- cians devoted 675 days to the work of prescribing Seventeen milk distrib- for the sick babies. The summer months were unusually hot, and yet the number of babies who died was 473, as compared with 652 in 1912 and 699 in 1911. But how much remains to be done is shown by the fact that our infantile mortality is still 99.5 per 1000 of births. This is unnecessary. And it is in very large measure due to ignorance, neglect and poverty, which result in bad or insufficient food. That means, for babies, milk. Given a sufficiency of pure milk, most of these babies might be saved. It would be the very best way of increasing St. Louis’ population. >. L ih he WHO’S OUR FOURTH GREATEST THINKER? Are other aspirants sullen over the awards already made in the great Missouri thinking con- test which we are conducting? No bids or nom- inations for fourth place have been received that are worthy even of V. H. C. (Very High Class), which, as the sporting fraternity knows, is a complimentary award made to entries that land outside the money but deservé mention. (The Hon. Roy Brill, candidate for Congress from Gourdville, Mo., is the only considerable name yet proposed for fourth place, and we reject it because he proposed it himself and furthermore we suspect that he craves the distinction only to make political capital out of it and not as a matter of pure intellectual pride. Besides;-we do not like the cut of his intellectual jib.) We will not welcome thinkers with fetlocks or State legislators, but should like to see more nominations that would reflect credit on the quality of real Missouri thinking. To encourage entrants let us state that the race is a free-for- all, without fees or forfeits. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain but pecuniary reward, the prizes consisting of honors which must be valued for themselves. To be acclaimed universally as Missouri's Fourth Greatest Thinker is surely enough dis- tinction for any one man or woman, especially when you consider that fourth place is virtually as good as first.

TI | ee LAST LAP. MORTTARY. Dear Sir—We are mourning the death of our beloved dog, Rocksie, who met his death on the Frisco Bridge at Deicke on the morn of Friday, Feb. 20, 1914. He was the bést opossum and coon dog that could be found in St. Louis County. He also held a member- ship card of all the clubs in and about Deicke. The nickname of poor old Rocksie was Smiley, for whenever he would see any of the nearby club boys he would pucker up his l!ps and show his teeth: but he never meant any harm, for he was merely smiling, and for that rea- son the club boys called him Smiley. We are all in hopes that we can find another dog of his kind, but it will be hard, ELMER COOK, Diecke, Mo. HEDGING. (First Week.)

From the Indianapolis Star. Speakers at the Founder’s day celebra- tion of Butler College emphasized what they believé to be some of the ques- tionable present tendencies of higher education, particularly in this country. “The greatest danger to American col- leges today is the inclination to build Sreat laboratories and buildings and buy large tracts of picturesque campus spaca while fhe scholarship standards are al- lowed to decline,”’ said Abram*B. Cory of Cincinnati, head of the “men and riillions’ movement in the Christian Church. Dean Percy H. Boynton of the University. of Chicago added his opinion that “the tradition of work has declined steadily in our colleges."” Dean Boynton spoke an encouraging word for the smal]! colleges, where, he said, men usually are more sincere in their efforts to suc- ceed, and become stronger than those tuat are graduated from the larger tn- stitutions. The power of the small colleges to biild sturdy, self-reliant manhood and womanhood may be attributed now, as in the days when there were no large oclleges to speak of In the United States, to the greater attention to the personal side of life that prevails there. Men attached to the faculties of the great universities have been led to question whether there ought not to be a Iimit on their number of students. And !f this dcubt exists, one of the causes for it may lie in the fact that In vast con- gregations of young people there ts bound to grow up the impersonal atmos. phere between teachers and dents, and among students themsel that ls destructive of a normal and vigorous unfolding of human character. JUDICIAL RADICALISM IN 1556. Brom the West Docket. That the present agitation for con- struction of law in accordance with the spirit of the times is not entirely new may be seen by the following quotation from Judge Lumpkin's opinion in Woo- ten vs. Nall, 18 Georgia, 6%, published in 1855: “The misfortune with us, al- ways, has been to interpret our stat- utes In the light of the grotesque forms, metaphysical subtleties,. narrow rules and fanciful niceties of the common law, as it was a century ago. The further we get from it the better for ourselves. The Legislature has been struggling, constantly, to unfetter our ox people from the shackles which bind them to the effete Institutions of a by- gone age, that the citizens of our State may advance with a free and unimpeded step toward perfection. Statute after statute is passed to pare off the excrescences of Saxon and Norman ju-ite risprudence. The Mlbderality of our courts should keep pace with this spirit of reform. We should just as soon ap-/. proach, with costly offerings, the infer- nal deities of our druidical ancestors, Thor and Woden, te be taught religion, as to the genli of the old Common Law, to learn the correct exposition of our modern laws. We must look to the experience of our own times—the lights of our own age. We should assert our own independent judgment, and act and think for ourselves.” The Haitien Beigma.

PATENT ROYALTY AND LICENSE. MAC.—A royalty under a patent is Otherwise named a license fee. It is a payment that is made for the priv- ilege of manufacturing, selling, or using a patented invention. This pay- ment is made to the owner of the patent, who may be either the in- ventor who applied for the patent or some assignee of that inventor. Li- censes are of’ different kinds. Some may be for only one year territori- ally made for the entire United States, while others may be of longer duration or for less territorial ex- tent. Furthermore, licenses may be exclusive during their term or they may not be exclusive. If an exclusive license to a certain Hcensee for the entire term of the patent and cover- ing the whole of the United States is granted, another license cannot be granted unless for breach of condi- tiong the first license has becom forfeited. lf a license is not expresse: to be exclusive, it is nonexclusive, and other licenses may be granted running concurrently. Again, if an exclusive license is granted only for the State of Michigan, another licensw may be granted for the State of Mis- sourl, and for each of the other states of the union, each of which may be either exclusive for the ter- ritory named or nonexclusive. If «a license is granted for a certain term and not renewed, it expires at the end of the period named in it. It is customary to grant licenses to manu - facture, use or sell patented inven- tions only by written contract, whicn contracts should prescribe the amount of royalty to be paid to the owner of the patent. by the licensee and contain provisions for the termine- tion or forfeiture of the license upon, er of the agreed Soyer es. Such contracts likewise usually pre- scribe that the licensee shall make uarterly reports under oath as te the number of devices or the Iike manufactured, used or sold during the preceding uarter and make pay - ment within 10 days after such re- ort, and a very important provision n such contracts is usually made that the owner of the patent, otherwise called the licensor, shall have the ha a to inspect the licensee's books when desired to determine the cor- rectness of the reports. Such license contracts usually contain other clauses for the protection of the lIf- censor too numerous and too compli- cated to mention in Answers column. —Hugh K. Wagner, Attorney. SARAH’S TRIUMPH.

"HIS is the story that William Trot- ter told me on the beach at Aguas Frrescas while I waited for the gig of the Captain of the fruit steamer An- dador, which was to take me aboard. Reluctantly I was leaving the Land of Always Afternoon. William was _ re- maining, and he favored me with a con- densed oral autobiography as we sat on the sands in the shade cast by the Bo- dega Nacional.

While we were talking there was a sound of firing guns—four or five, rat- Riingly, as if by a squad. The cheerful noise came from the direction of the euartel, which is a kind of makeshift barracks for the soldiers of the republic. “Ilear that?’ said William Trotter. “Let me tel) you about it. “A year ago I landed on this coast with one solitary dollar.

Betty was crying as she walked along the road, and Dinah Cat ran beside her, rubbing against her feeet. All at once she ran in front of Betty ani stood on her hind legs. “Do not cry, mistress,”’ she satd. “T’ll take care of you.” Betty was s0 surprised to hear Dinah Cat speak that she stopped erying at once. “You poor Dinah Cat,” she said, “what can you do?” “You come with me, mistress,” an- swered Dinah Cat, and you will not need to work and you will not starve.” And she put out her paw for Betty to take and walked along- side her. When they came to a path leading into the wood Dinah Cat led Betty along this path until they were in front of two very large trees, which had grown together, but there was a big opening in the trunk. “We'tl go in here,” said Dinah Cat, and as they stepped through they were ina hall. She le@ Betty up the stairs to a room where there was a snow white bed and pretty furnish- ings. “Dinner. will be served as soon eas you are Gressed, mistress,” said Dinah Cat. After she bad gone Betty tooked sround and in the closets she found pretty Gresses which just fitted her. Just then Dinah Cat walked in. “How do you Hke your new home mis- tress?’ she asked. “VYery much.” Betty answered. “But we cannot Ifve in such a nice house. We have no money, and be- sides that, this house must belong to someone. And thie dress I have on must belong to some litéle girl. I should not wear it.” “The dreas did belong to a little girl,’ said Dinah Cat, “but she cannot wear it now, and she wants you to have it. And do not fret about the , house. It belongs to me. I cannot tell you any more just now, but you ‘need not worry any more about any- thing, for you are to live here, if you ‘will, after you have dinner, for then FAMILY CARES . you will meet a boy, and you may inot Mke him.” | Dinah Cat led Betty Into a room where the table was set for three persons, and when they were seated a boy about Betty’s age came in and sat with them. He wore his hat and a thick veil hung from it. Suddenly Dinah Cat slid out of her ' chair and crawled undor it, and the lit- tle boy trembled so that his chair shook. Betty looked around to find the cause o: her strange behavior and saw standing | im the doorway an old woman with a staff in Der hand. She hobbled over to where Dinah Cat sat and raised the staff. Betty thought she was going to strike her. ‘“Don’t you hurt Dinah Cat!’ she cried, running toward the old witch, who was so startied that she dropped the staff and Betty picked it up. “Don't let her have it again.’’ said the boy; “that ia the cause of all our trouble.” Who Can Answer This Problem?

Betty wondered what they meant, and the boy told her that Dinah Cat was his sister before the witch changed her into a cat and made his face so hideous that he had to wear a veil. “Let me get the stick,’ said Betty. “Perhaps we can change Dinah Cat to your sister again.’’ Betty opened the door of the closet, and instead of the stick there was a bright streak of light, and walking on it was a little fairy who held a wand in her hand. “You will soon be happy again,’ she told them. “I have destroyed the stick and the old witch will never return.” Then she walked over to Dinah Cat and touched her with her wand and there stood a little girl about Betty's age in place of the black cat. ‘“‘Now, close your eyes.”’ said the fairy. ‘‘for I want the boy to remove his veil, and aw th.

I T was Murphy who fiftst saw what the rest of the slumbering magnates of the National League did not—that only a spark neéd be added to the Chi- cago club in 19% to make it .a world- beater. The club was shaky and its stockholders disgruntled; but the players were thepe. So he sneaked in Charles Taft, a landlord’ of the then néarly insolvent Cap Anson—a_ stock- holder—and by maneuvefing skillfully put Taft across as the OWNER OF THE ENTIRE CLUB FOR $16,000! How Murphy Put It Over. T was Murphy who has since put over all sorts of things—straight and zig-zag—right under the noses of his fellow magnates and the National Com- mission. Im only two iustances did he fail to get away with it, and in thoac he was fined the light sum of 850° each. For the rest he is said to have person- ally averaged $100,000 net annual profit for every year of his ownership, an:] he quite the game with $1,000,000 in preperty and money as a result ot nine or tem years cOnnmection with baseball, all due to the fact that he thought about’ five minutes faster than anybody. else in the organization. . ¢ * The Best Evidence.

The National League magnates heave? a big sigh of relief at Murphy’s retire- ment—because they knew the man was too shrewd for them and knew how to flout them without a comeback.

Murphy may not be so good as Ritchie, but he has an abundance of confidence and is a fighter. The chances are he wotld give Ritchie a hard bat- tle, and the champion has so persist- ently sidestepped everything but exhibi- tions and short bouts that there is a a growing feeling that he does not care to risk his title so long as he can avoid doing s®. It is probable no one doubts Ritchie's ability as a fighter, but there would be few tears shed shoufd he lose his title to some boy who would -be willing to give others e chance to test their met- tle for it. There are quite a number .of lightweights having reputations enough to quell the thought that they have nothing to lose in a bout with the cham- pion, because right now the belief is thev are running close up. and a de- cisive beating by Ritchie would lay them on the shelf. As a matter of fact; there are at least half a dozen lightweights who could be depended upon to give Ritchie or any other boxers in the eran tn class a struggle for suprem- Nebraska Will Send a Team to Coliseum Meet Will Hurdler and High Jumper W Accompany Relay Team to the Games Here.

They are matched and rematched. fighting each other as the months roll by, but never a chance at the title. Such boxers as Charley White, Jimmy Duffy and Johnny Dundee would all have more than an outside chance against Ritchie. while Freddy Welsh appears se danger- cus a contender that his chances of ever getting a match with Rit¢hie seem re- mote. Ritchie Isn’t Popular. Ritchie is a fighter. no doubt about that. once he entérs the ring determined to battle, but sinee acquiring the title he is shying worse than a colt scenting danger. Fate. dealt kindly with Ritchie when he stepped into the well-worn shoes of Jack McAuliffe, “Kid” La- vigne, Frank Erne, Joe Gans, “Battling” Nelson and Ad Wolgast, for this bunch had to fight often and hard before they won their way to the title, while Ritchie did comparatively little for the coveted honor: nor has he done much since. and it is his apparent unwilling- ness to fight, not lack of ability, that is freely censured. Many regrets have been expressed for former champions when they were dethroned, but it ts Probable Ritchie could pass and be for- gotten after the sensation created by his défeat had passed out of mind. From a betting standpoint, Ritchie, of course, will be the favorite over Wol- gast in their coming match, but the “Michigan Wildcat’ will carry the sym- pathy and hope of many who are watch- ing his earnest effort to regain his lost title. His recent defeat of Joe Rivers. in a hard, rough, fast fight, surprised tnany people, and should he make even & good showing against Ritchie next month, there will be a popular demand that he be given a.match by the cham- pion for°a final effort in a )-round bout on the Pacific Coast.

Owner Hedges of the Browns t# 20 wrought up over the Federal League ‘scare’ that he has let contracts for the construction of, concrete bleachers to supplant the present wooden stru-- tures in right and center field. Hedges stated Monday that the deal had not been definitely arranged, but from an- other source it was learned that Schults & Sohrman, architects; have already drawn up the plans. It is Hedges’ intention to put stores under the stands extending on, Gran! avenue from Dodier to Sullivan, with a moving picture theater at the corner -f Grand and Dodier. The entrance now at that corner will be moved further south on Grand avenue. The concrete stands also will extend west on Dodier to meet the pavilion. The new stands, when built, will in- crease the seating capacity of Sporis- man’s Park and make it one of the most up-to-date plants in the country, Hedges Sho Started. Shotton Gets the fleet flvchaser who Bert Shotton, will guard the middle meadow for the Browns, tired Hedges Monday that ‘ie was on his way to St. Petersburg. Shot- ton missed connections Saturday an. failed to join the squad which left here for the Florida resort. Dee Walsh, Red Roche, Ivan Howard and Clyde Wares made up the rear guard of Brownies who left Saturday night.

If the Nationa! League directors feel that Chicago is not entitled to Perdue's services, the husky right-hander will cetme here in exchange for Cosy Dolan, a third stacker.

HE beauty and chivalry of Cider- side turned out en masse to at- tend the Washington's birthday reception and dance at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall last evening. The guests were gotten up to represent historical characters of the revolutionary epoch. Ye scribe counted nine George Wash- ingtons, four Lafayettes and a sprin- kling of Paul Reveres, Ben Franklins and Thomas Jeffersons among the men; while the wamen folks were about equally divided between Martha Wash- ington and Nellie Custic, the only ex- ception being Mrs. Hen Thompson, who appeared as Barbara Fritchie. Pete Barlow’s suit was furnished by a city costumer and was guaranteed to be historically correct. It probably was. In fact, it might have been built for George Washington himself. It cer- tainly didn’t fit Pete. Constable Ed Bean was on hand to preserve order, but there was nothing for him to do, although it did look like there might be trouble at one time, when Rich Osgood and Jim Boone both claimed the sams dance with Miss Myr- tilla Moon. Mpyrtilla’s diplomacy was equal to the occasion, however, and she settled the dispute by dancing with Ed Tyler. Music was furnished by the Ciderside Symphony Orchestra. In all other re- spects the affair was a grand success. ISAAC ANDERSON. An Enigma. AM a letter, and a word, I am a tree, I am a name. Cut me in pieces with a sword, You and your act will be the same.
