DANVILLE, Ill., March 6.—Receivers were appointed here today for the Southern Traction Co. of Illinois, which has figured so prominently in the free bridge tangle in St. Louis. The application for the .receivership Was made by former Gov. ‘Jared Y. Sanders of Louisiana, representing the Lorimer-Gallagher Construction Co. of Chicago, which built the road from Kast St. Louis to Belleville, and had con- tracted to build it to Duquoin. Former Senator Lorimer of Chicago, John A, Hamilton of Marissa, and Wil- bur E. Crane were appointed receivers by Federal Judge Wright. It was stated te the Court by Sanders that the com- pany needed about. $20,000 to start op- erations. Went to London to Seil Bonds. The receivership followed closely upon the return from England of former Sen- ator Lorimer. Hampden D. Mepham of St. Louis, general manager of the com- pany, and its original promoter, is still E It was understood that Lorimer and Mepham had gone to London to try to arrange for the sale of the bonds f the company. Lorimer, through his con- struction company, stated recently that an arrangement had been miade in Lon-, don to sell $7,000,000 worth of the com- pany’s bonds, to be delivered as each section of the road was completed. The construction company furnished the money for the construction of the road from East St. Louis to Belleville a 8 | built béyond Belleviile. Failure to sell re- Lorimer Holds Blanket Mortgage. Lorimer took a blanket mortgage on all the property of the company to pro- teot his interests. When the English @eal fell through, it is said here, it be- Came necessary for Lorimer to apply for the receivership, or to foreclose. Plans were made to open the road for operation last November, but were not carried out; Several hundred coal cars were purchased and were banked in the company’s yards in East St. Louis. The Southern Traction Co. of Illinois was organized specially to operate over the free bridge at St. Louis. Immediately after the Southern Trac- tion Co. was organized it applied for a franchise over the free bridge, and also @ loop franchise in St. Louis, The fran- chise was passed, and immediately cre- ated a storm of opposition. Howe AttOrney for Company. _Jeptha D. Howe; who had been the Republican boss of St. Louis, was em- ployed as attorney for the promoters. Howe's enemies immediately seized upon the franchise incident to create a sentiment against the completion of the free bridge until the grant was fre- pealed, with the consent of the com- pany.

Mepham and Howe to Retire. The City Council was prepared sev- eral weeks ago to pass a bill reducing to % years. Upon an urgent request | from Mepham, who was then in Lon- don, the Council postponed action on the bill. Nine members of the Council had pledged themselves to vote for the bill amending the franchise. It is understood locally that the ap- pointment of the receivers will result in the retirement from the enterprise of Mepham, Howe and other local St. Louls and Belleville stockholders, For- heavily interested In the company. $100,000 BY MISS DAVIS Petition to Federal Court From Nashville.

They tried unsuccessfully last year to" reach the far north in the yacht Ad-| venturess. According to Harry Scott, Borden has- obtained the boat used by Paul Rainev in his expedition to South Africa and in it they will make their second dash to tne Arctic, expecting to remain there part of the,.coming winter and the fol- lowing summer, hunting bowhead whales and collecting specimens of other ani- mal life for. the National Museum in Washington. A number of scientists will take part in the expedition, the cost of which is estimated by Scott at $100,000. DIES AT THE UNDERTAKER’S Asks, ‘“‘Many Dead Ones Tonight?’ Then Is Stricken.

ATTACKED BY PNEUMONIA He Had Started Front Howell County Farm for St. Louis; Became Too Ill to Travel. Arnold Koch of 4250 Holley avenue, St. Louis, who is a brother of the late Dr. Robert Koch, foremcst leader of modern science in its war on tuberculosis, is i!! in St. John’s Hospital, Springfield, Mo. His disease is diagnosed as tuberculosis by Dr. William Hienhoff, physician in charge, according to.a dispatch from Springfield to the Post-Dispatch. Koch lived until a few weeks ago at the Holly avenue address, which is tie home of his daughter, Mrs. Jennie Hill. He has spent’ much of his time in the last 10 years in rural life in Southern Missouri, and be had a farm near Brandsville, Howell County. Until 10 years ago he was a member of the firm of Koch & Redheffer, downtown art dealers. He is 67 years old. Koch Forced to Leave Train. While Koch’s health has been failing for several years, his daughter ani other St. Louis relatives hoped that his present illness would. prove to be noth- ing more than pneumonia. He suffered an attack of typhoid pneumonia at his country home last week, and started Sunday for St. Louis, but had to leave ‘the train at Springfield and go to the hospital there. Arnold Koch has shown great pride ‘n the achievements of his brother, and is familiar with all the detalls of his scien- tific work. The climax of that work came when, in 1882, the physician dis- covered the tubercle bacillus. This dis- é¢overy has been.the basis or all subse- quent work in the investigation of tu- berculosis. Tuberculin Perfected in 1890, Dr. Koch perfected his tuberculin in 1890, and while it “proved not to. be a specific for the disease, it has been vf great value in establishing a test for tubercular diseases in cattle intended for food. Koch Hospital, a St. Louls city institution, is one of the many in- | stitutions throughout the world which’ bear his name. Dr. Reinhoff, who is now treating Arnold Koch, was a student under Dr. Robert Koch in Berlin in 1882, at the time when the scientist announced his great discovery. He has placed a large picture of Dr. Koch in Arnold Kocn’s oom at the hospital, the dispatch i, states. MAN ILL FROM FRIGHT FORGETS HIS GERMAN Native Who Was Kidnaped Is Learning to Talk Again After ‘Aphasia Attack. SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., March §,-- Although German is his native tongue Mitchel Haitsch, who is supposed to have been thrown into a state of mental paralysis by fright and the tortures of kidnapers, demonstrated today that he had forgotten all about it. A letter from Haitsch’s sister, Mrs. Martha Kunsch, who is now in Dat- bury, Conn., bore a photograph of Haitsch, which identified the man. The text of the letter was in German, and Haitsch, whuv has been in a hospital here for several weeks, learning to walk and to talk, indicated that he did not know such a language existed. Haitsch was found here last month a few days after the police of Los An- geles received notice from Mrs. Kunscii that kidnapers had demanded $200 ran- som for her brother. Hospital surgeons say Haitsch presents one of the rare cases of real aphasia, or loss of mem- To reach all the people you pay to reach you must concentrate your advertising in the POST-DISPATCH as all the St. Louis merchants do.

It was to have been a Christmas pres- ent—there is no dispute about that— but who wag to pay for it? There’s the rubJ Posed In $1000 Coat. Miss Windegger, it was plain after the testimony had been’ heard, had planned to give Pingree a modest pho- tograph of herself, but ‘when she went to the Gerhard Sisters’ studio she was found te be such a good subject that | she was photographed not only in “‘the $1000 leopard skin’ coat’? which Pingree | had given her, but in some forty odd | other poses. Miss Windegger showed the proofs to Pingree and he selected 14, or was it 18, marked them with an X or his initials and told Miss Windegger to find out how much they would be. His idea was to have them fi up in a folio. He held to that idéa until Mrs. Mamie Gerhard called him up and told him the:- would come to $5 apiece, where- upon he informed her that there was “nothing doing.” Now, if the price had been 75 cents or a dollar apiece, &s Pingree explained on the witness stand, he probably would have told her t® go ahead and finish them. Pingree, as the petition in the case avers, was @ suitor for the hand of Miss Windegger, described in the petition as “a certain fair, attractive and’ charming young lady,” and had presented her with a Christmas present consisting -f ‘“‘a certain leopard skin coat of great value, to-wit, $1000,’"" which said coat, again according to the petition, “when placed upon and worn by said lady, made her appear even more charming than before an@*the said defendant then and there begged and importuned the said lady to have a photograph taken of herself in said coat.” The Young Woman’s Story of It. Miss Windegger, measuring up fully to the description of her in the petition and very smértly attired, testified to going to the Gerhard Sisters in Decem- ber, 1912, to see. about having her pic- ture taken in the coat which Pingree had promised her for Christmas. The coat was not finished until after. Christ- mas and it wés Jan. 31 when the sitting took place. She showed him the many proofs and he picked out and marked: the ones that he Hked best and told her to find out, she testified, how much the big one, showing her in the Christmas- present coat; would cost. She found out that it Would cost $25, and he said, according to her testimony, that he wanted it at any cost. He told her, she testified, to have it finished and framed. | Pingree, On~ taking the stand, was asked if he fad had any talk with Miss Windegger about a photograph. “She had a convérsa tion with me,” he said, drawing a@ distinction. . “She said she had a coupon, and was going to have 4 photograph taken for me for a Christ- mas present.” Refused to Pay Bill. Afterward, he received bills from Ger- hard Sisters and John H. Mathews. their attortey, called on him. “I told him,” said Pingree, “that they could go to thunder with the dern picture.” On. cros#examination, Pingree was 18 smaller photographs. “Not when I heard the price,” he said. “I thought maybe I would if they were 75 cents or $1 apiece. I told her there was noth- ing doing.”. Then Mré. Gerhard and Mrs. Windeg- ger told all about it from their points of view, ard Attorney Mathews told how he went t) see Pingree to get him to ttle, and after hearing it all, Justice Slater gate the attorneys 10 days in which to Me briefs.

ROLLER SRATING; Resents Inference He’s Visiting Rink to Take Off Weight, but He Has. Mayor Kiel has taken up roller skat- ing, but he says that it is not for the purpose of taking off weight. He goes roller skating, he says, because he likes i, and he adds that he would go just the same if he was ‘‘a slim.” That is one way of saying that he is not a slim. And he is not. Still he does not think anybody has a right to call him “Fatty.’’ He weighs 235 pounds with his clothes on, but he says nis clothes weigh 2ll of 10 pounds, which would bring him down to 225, which he does not consider any too heavy for the Mayor of the fourth city. Takes Off Ten Pounds, Tt is a fact, though, which the MaYor does not deny, that he has re- duced 10 pounds in the past six months. He would’‘have you to De- lieve that. he did nothing toward shaving off those.10 pounds. He has, to be sure, been walking back and forth between his home at 1425 Mis- sourit avenue and the city hall and now and then he was out scratch- ing the lawn Friday morning and he was at the Jai Alai rink Thursday night, but he does these things for enjoyment, that’s all. In hig younser days the Mayor could be described in general terms as some runner. i annual picnics of the Master. Bri yers’ Association, of which he was @ member, he was always the favorite in the betting on the 100- yard gallop and never disappointed his (riends, romping in with a lot of day- light between him and the bunch. He won many pieces of hardware that way and likes to take out his trophies and show them to his friends when they drop in of an evening. Nothing New for Him. And this skating business, he would have it understood, is no new accom- plishment with him. He has been a skater in fact for these 30 years, with gaps between, and always finds, when he takes it up again, that his feet have lost none of their cunning, and he is all there with the figure eights and other flubdubs. Well, that is what he has been doing lately, going out to the rink now and then and spending a couple of hours on the rollers. He was accompanied, Thursday night, by Supplv Commis- sioner Thomas and the latter's niece, Miss Josephine Dickson; Delegate Lynn E. Brokaw of the 28th ward, Dr. and Mrs. August G.

I Guest at the Milford Slides Down: Rope Into Optical Goods Establishment. An ingenious burglar rented a room at the Milford Hotel and cut a three- foot hole through the floor, which en- abled him to slide down a rope into the store of the Independent Photo Optical Co., 213 North Sixth street, where he made away early Friday with opera glasses, field glasses, fountain pens and cameras valued«at several hundred dol- ‘lars. He checked out at the hotel at 6:30 a. m., carrying away his loot tn two suit cases. The robbery was discovered at 8 a. m., when Fred P. Flake, presi- dent of the optical company, opened the store for the day’s business. J. R. Burton, manager of the hotel, which is at 215 North Sixth street, told the police a well-dressed man about 29 years old registered Wednesday at the hotel as A. D. Brown and was assigned to room 14. The next day the guest asked to be assigned to room 23, de- claring the noise of a plano in the hotel lobby had prevented him: from ‘sleeping. Burton accommodated the guest, who retired to room 23 at 10:30 p. m. Thurs- day, leaving a call for 4:30 a. m. Two hours after being called .the guest checked out. . Flake, after discovering the robbery, found a hole in the ceiling of a store- room back of the main store. A rope, which dangled into the storeroom through the hole, was fastened to a hook in room 23, directly above. It was evi- dent to the police that the burglar slid down the rope into the store and climbed the rope to get back into the hotel room with the stolen property. fhe burglar used an auger with which he bored holes In a rectangular space about three feet long and a foot wide, Then he Knocked the flooring. out and repeated his process through the lathe and plaster of the Storeroom ceiling. The guest in a room adjoining No. 23 told Manager Burton he had heard a noise Thursday night which sounded as if someone was boring a hole in wood but he said he decided the guest. was snoring and paid no further attention.

Chauffeur Tella His Story. Siegelhorst, 18 years old, whose home is at 6524 Hobart avenue, drove to the North Market Street Police Station in the automobile at 2:5 p. m., where, while weeping, he told the police his version of the robbery. He said the highwaymen, after point- ing their revolvers at the paymaster and his assistant, R. D. Coriett, jumped into the macbine and ordered him to drive away rapidly.

It would simply mean a waste of nearly $80,000 at an extra election, and an unnecessary delay of nearly three raonths in deciding the question at issue.

So Capt. Knox made dden descent on the underground room and there ne found a full-fledged “whits mule” distil- lery in full operation. James Brister, a member of the company, had takeg some old cans and séveral lengths of rubber hose and fitted up a still which was turning out “white mule” by the pint, and at 5 cents a drink was filling Brister’s pockets with other veterans’ pension money. Brister was arrested and arraigned before the United States Commissioner on charge of moonshining and probably will be transferred from the home to the Federal Penitentiary to serve about a year.

From day to day the Post-Dispatch has published the names of the mein- bers of the House of Deleagtes -who are in the combine of 22 to delay the completion of the free bridge, with maps of the wards they repsent and in- terviews with representative citizens of their wards, showing that these Dele- gates do not represent the sentiment of the voters who elected them. There are in the House six members who have opposed the combine and who have voted at all times for the comple- tion of the bridge, attempting to obtain favorable’ action by the House on a bill to submit to a vote a proposition to issue $2,750,000 of bonds to build the Reber approach. As was shown by the many interviews published in the Post- Dispatch, these six Delegates represent the wide public sentiment which de- mands completion of the bridge, de- mands that the Reber approach be ‘buiit and that the A. & M. real estate grab scheme receive no further consider- ation. The six Delegates who refused to enter the combine are Henry Klug of the Tenth Ward, Tayter B. Wyrick of the Thirteenth Wafd, Arthur O.

Five of the combine members are Republitans. Klug, Delegate from the Tenth Ward, is in the saloon business at 1824 Ar- senal street. Although in two of the Ward voted against bonds, Klug has realized the change in sentiment and has supported the plan to again submjt the bonds to a vote.

No matter how badly you suffer, how chronic your case may be, or what has failed to cure you, your pains will leave, your aches vanish and the torturous, killing backache or rheumatism will bother you no more. This is what Croxone, the new scien- tific discovery, does for: sufferers of such troubles. It cures these diseases because it reaches the cause and re- moves it. It soaks right into the walls and linings of the kidneys and cleans out the stopped-up,. inac- tive organs like watcr does a sponze —neutralizes, and dissolves every par- ticle of vrie acid and makes the kid- neys sift from the blood all the waste matter and poisons that lodge in the joints and muscles to scratch and -ir- ritate and cause rheumatism. It soothes and heals the delicate linings of the bladder and leaves the kidneys in a clean, strong, healthy condition, | so they can filter the blood and keep you well. If you suffer with backache—have pains in the neck or sides—nervo.s or dizzy spells—a few.doses of Crox- one will relieve the congestion and you will be surprised how quickly all kidney, bladder and rheumatic trou- bles will disappear. Croxone is different from all other remedies, It is not like anything else on earth ever used for the purpose, It starts to work the minute you take it and relieves your suffering the very first time you use it. It is so prepared that it is practically impossible to take it'into the human system without re- sults.

ICOUNTY TO BRING SUIT 10 RECOVER $00,864 IN FEES Auditor Gordon Files Report on Fees and Departs to Consult Attorney-General. PROSECUTION IS PLANNED Report Charges Carelessness and Improper Safeguarding of County’s Finances. State Auditor Gordon Ftiday filed with Prosecuting Attorney Lashley and the County Court at Clayton, official reports setting forth that 13 St. Louis County officials and former officials have collected and appropriated to their own use since 1907 a total of $55,864.62 in fees to which they are not entitled under the law. Of this amount, $50,395.37 is al- leged to belomg to the county and $5469.23 to the State. Shortly following Gordon's announced action, County Treasurer Schaedler de- clared he was ready to give a draft at once for $115, to restore the fees charged against him, and Collector August Kas- sebaum, against whom there was a charge of $41.45, sent a draft for $13.05 to the State Treasurer and handed County Treasurer Schaedler a draft for $28.40, covering the amount according to its apportionment in Gordon’s statement. Auditor Gogdon left St. Louis later in the morning for Jefferson City, where, it is said, he will confer with the Attor- ney-General with a view toward imme- diate prosecution. Prosecuting Attor- ney Lashley declared civil suits would be filed at once to collect the amount due St. Louis County. Report Covers Every Detail. The report is voluminous and gives every detail of the examina- tion of the State Board of Examiners into the accounts and records of county officials since 1907, each office being con- sidered separately. It sets forth that investigation into the election expenses has not been completed and Prosecuting Attorney Lashley declared he would in- vestigate this phase carefully. Present and former Judges of the County Court are accused in the report of having approved settlements with county officials and of vouchers auth-} orizing distribution of funds without sufficiently informing themselves of the correctness of the accounts. The re- port alleges the finances of the county have not been properly safeguarded from 1907 to 1914. The report makes no petition for res- toration of funds but cites it is the duty of the Prosecuting Attorney and the Attorney-General to begin action at.once to collect the amounts alleged to have been Illegally retained. The officials named in the report, through their counsel, Senttor A. E. L. Gardner, declare that the investigation ls a political move to place them in public disfavor. Each named in the report is a Republican. They further contend that the amounts ' FRIDAY EVEN ING, MARCH 6; 1914. charged against them in Gordon’s re-. port represent fees to which they are entitled under the law, and which have been retained without thought of law violation for years by office holders in the county. ‘Says Seibel Retained $26,041. County Clerk Seibel, according to Gor- don’s statement, has been in office three years, and under the State law, is en- titled to fees equal to his salary for three years, $6000. Gordon states Seibel has collected and retained $26,041.97 for the three years ending Dec. 31, 1913, ex- clusive of the amount allowed by law for clerical assistance in his office. The statement further sets forth that former County Clerk Ruhl, in the four years he held office, beginning in 1907, collected and retained $28,392.36, whereas he was entitled to only four years’ sal- ary, $8000. The examination of records, according to Gordon’s statement, disclosed thet Collector Kassebaum was $41.45 short in his accounts, although this might have been due to a clerical error. As former County Judge, Kassebaum is alleged ‘to have retained $535 in fees to which he was not éntitled. Gordon declares the amount checked against Probate Judge Shackelford, $1619.44, is a matter for settlement by law, as the Judge claims he is allowed this sum as an additional fee for the collection of collateral inheritance taxes, and requests that a decision in the mat- ter await the interpretation by the Snu- preme Court of a similar case now in its hands, emanating from Greene Coun- ty. Gordon declares the Greene County case will not affect the claim against Judge Shackelford. County Treasurer Schaedler, Gordon deciares in his statement, is ready to restore at once the $115 excess fees charged against him. The statement sets forth that the three County Judges and four former County Judges collected a total of $11,- 680 in fees, for which there is no war- rant by law, and which was retained as fees for ‘‘committee work’ and ‘‘in- vestigations,’’ outside of official court sessions. Reeorder Entitled to Rebate. The officials contend they are entitled to $% each day for ‘‘committee work.” They further argue that they saved the county $3 a day in Sheriff's fees for opening court for ‘“‘committee Wwork,’’ which consisted largely of “inspection of roads and bridge work within their jurisdiction.” Gordon's statement sets forth that County Recorder Henry Heinemann has overpaid the county $70 in fees collected and is entitled to hold the amount out of his 1914 salery. The statement by Gordon is made from a report complied by a Board of Ex- aminers, created in 1913, to investigate the records of any county, upon a pe- tition to the State Auditor signed by 300 voters of that county.

' VILLA DEMANDS 200,000 RANSOM "FOR TERRAZAS’ SON Former “Rockefeller of Mexico,” Says He Now Hasn’t That Much Money to Give. March 6.—Gen. Sl, PASO, Tex., Ter- of Mexico” and its richest man until his vast estates were confiscated by the Constitutionalist forces, has until Saturday night to pay 500,000 pesos ran-’ som ‘for his son Luis, who is held by rebel Gen. Ffancisco Villa at Chihua- hua. This sum is equal to $250,000 American gold, but the once multimil- lionaire of Mexico has not now that much money, according to his own ad- mission to friends. The letter demanding the money was dated March 38, and stated that if the ransom were not paid within five days Luis would be “‘taken south” with Gen. Villa. “Ley de Fuga” Feared. This threat Gen. Terrazas construed in only one way and that is that his son will fall a victim to the notorious fugitive law if the money is not forth- coming. Under the convenient provi- sions of ‘ley de fuga” the prisoner is aiways ‘“‘shot while trying +o escape.”’ Gen. Terrazas is 9) years old aiid is greatly shaken by the peril to his’ son. The latter has been a prisoner for sev- eral months and has already submitted to the extortion of $600,000 American gold ic save his life. : It is probable that’ George C. Car- others, special agent of the Department of State at Washington, will be appealed tv upon his return from Nogales to- night to use his good offices with Gen. Villa, whom he has, known intimately for many years. It is hoped that Car- others may prevail upon the rebel leader to put a milder interpretation on the “trip south” than is usual in such cases. Appeals to Letcher. Gen. Terrazas made an appeal yester- day to Marion Letcher, American Con- sul at Chihuahua, who is in this city on business. Consul Letcher replied that he was helpless in the matter. Meanwhile, friends and relatives of th» family are doing what they can to ob- tain a reduction in the ransom to a figure which the old General can raise ther negotiations. “IT am very old and money nothing to me,” said Gen. Terrazas. “They can have every cent I have if my boy is only spared to me and his children.’’ Three years ago the Terrazas fortuue was estimated at $40,000,000. Carranza Says He Will Try to Solve Bauch Mystery. WASHINGTON, March 6.—Secretary Bryan today received a note from Gen. Carranza, Mexican Constitutionalist chief, assuring the: American Govern- ment that the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Gustav Bauch would be promptly investigated. The note says that the local investigation at Chihuahua showed that Bauch was ar- rested there and released. Roberto V. Pesqueira, means confidential Carranza Gomniniesion investigating the execution of W. 8. Benton, British subject, would try to learn the truti) in the case and publish it. State Department officials are giving their attention to the reported murder of Clemente Vergara, a Texas ranch- man. EXCHANGE MAN ASKS _. ORDER AGAINST OUSTER E. E. Felkel Requests Court to Enjoin Grain Board From En- forcing Its Ruling. An injunctign suit was filed Friday bv E. E. Felkel, ‘president of the Iarmers’ Commission Co.,: to enjoin the Mer- chants’ Exchange from enforcing an order of expulsion, effective March 4, made against him. He also asks thea court order that he be reinstated as a member of the exchange. Besides the Mérchants’ Exchange, the following directors are named as de- fendants: Charles IL. Niemeéier, W. H. Toberman, Marshall Hall, Carry H. Bacon, Claude A. Morton, John L. Mess- more, Rodger P. Annan Jr., George BE. Martin, L. Ray Carter, Christian Ber- net, George Harsh, Harry E. Hallida, and Ben S. Lang. In his petition, Felkel alleges that members of the National Grain Dealers’ Association are hostile to some of the farmers. A year ago, while Felkel, was sus- pended from the Merchants’ Exchange for three months for criticising policies of the exchange, he says James A. Mc- Creery of Marshall, Ill., secretary of the Farmers’ Grain Dealers’ Association. was defeated for a place on the boar of directors. The petition states that Felkel later sent out notices to farmers. naming members of the exchange, who, had not been favorable to McCreery im the election. Grain dealers complained of losing business because of this and Felkel’s trial and suspension from the exchange resulted. ve you.

BOSTON, March 6.—Former President Taft deplored the influence of newspa- pers on jurors in an address here last night. He said: “It is proper for news- papers to comment after judgment in a case, but it is the trial of cases in the newspapers before judgment that has led to much of the criticism of the courts. “Why, when I was President, I had to pardon two or three men who had been convicted by public clamor when they really were innocent.”’ The Post-Dispatch is the oniy evening news. paper én St..Louis that.receives or publishes néws —— by the: 2 pees Préss, | tazas, once known as “‘the Rockefeller ‘state’s sovereign and to get an extension of time for fur- | THREE BIG BRAZILIAN CITIES IN STATE OF SIEGE Government Believed at Wash- ington to Be Able to Put Down Revolutionary Trouble. WASHINGTON, March 6.—Early dip- lomatic dispatches and other official ad- vices today contained no further news of the revolutionary disturbances. ia Brazil. . Three large cities—Rio, Nioth- eroy and Petropolis—declared in a staie of siege because of revolutionary move- ments of three great states, caused un- easiness in the Latin-American colony although all expressed confidence in the ability of the Government to handle the situation. The negro population, which is neariv 89 per cent of the total in Brazil, is a serious factor in the present situation. Various causes are assigned for the unrest, which began a year ago in the state of Pernambuco. There was a dis- turbance there when the Federal Gov- ernment took certain local actions which were regarded as an invasion of the rights. Troubles in financial affairs, in the rubber market and the coffee business Were pointed out as being contributory to the presen: situation.

LOUIS POST. DISPATCH. NEWSBOYS FINED FOR SELLING “FAKE” EXTRAS Two Young Men Admit They Made Misrepresentation {0 Get Extra Money. Mark Hawe, 22 years old, and George Miller, 21, newsboys, were fined $5 and costs each in the Dayton Street Police Court, Friday, on charges of disturbing the peace by selling the last edition of the St. Louis Times Thursday night under the pretext that it was an “extra.’’ They walked through the West End streets yelling: ‘‘Extra! All about the downtown suicide and murder.” E. R. Robinson of 1999 Semple avenue and J. B. Lee of 1918 Semple avenue paid 5 cents each for these papers at 9:3 p. m., in the belief they were extras, and then telephoned police head- quarters. Patrolman O’Neil of the Page Boulevard Station, sént to investigate the complaints, arrested Hawe and Mill- er at Semple avenue and North Market street. Hawe and Miller told Judge Sanders they wanted a little extra money and decided they could sel more papers ‘by yelling “‘Extra!’’ They said they’ had been selling the Times for two months, but said Thursday night was the first time they had sold a regular edition under the pretext it was an extra! Other West End residents, however, recently have complained to the police of being awakened at night by newsboys crying “‘extras’’ and found the papers were not extras. Judge Sanders stayed the fines on pay- ment of $3 costs each. Teachers Favor Simplified Spelling. WICHITA, Kan., March 6.—The South- ern Kansas Teachers’ Association, in its annual meeting here this week, adopted a resolution favoring simplified spelling for the schools.

LOUIS POST: DISPATOE. —— ——— BOARD REJECTS STONE CHOSEN FOR MISSOURI CAPITOL Commission Witcies to Allow Contractor Gill to Send Ste Genevieve Material. JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri Capitol Commission locked horns with Kermode F. Gill of’ Cleve- land, general contractor of the new cap- itol, when Ti issued a statement made public today, prepared by Assistant At- torney-General W. M. Fitch, notifying Gill that no stone from the Ste. Gene- vieve quarry, which he has selected, will be received at the capitol grounds. Gill has engaged counsel to represent him, and in a written protest to which this statement is a reply, notified the Capitol Commission that he was deter- mined to use Ste. Genevieve limestone if he must resort* to the courts to en- force his rights. The Commissioners’ say they have ap- proyed no stone for the capitol, and have not limited Gill to material from the Carthage district or any particular quarries. They deny the statement of Gill that his accepted bid -was based upon the use of Ste. Genevieve stone, and declare that ‘‘Neither your bid nor your contract could have been based upon Ste. Genevieve stone.”’ Notified Quarry Owners. Before the bids were opened, last No- vember, the Commissioners say they notified numerous owners of undevel- oped quarry land in Missouri that only fully developed and equipped quarries would be approved by the board as sources of material for the new capitol, in accordance with the provisions of the advertised contract and specifications. The Ste. Genevieve quarry was unde- veloped at the time, and when visited, at the request of Gill in January, the board members said it was only partly developed and that the stone was not of proper quality. At one meeting of the board, Gill’s agent, David T. Arenberg, was warned that stone of a quality similar to Bed- ford (Ind.) Hmestone, such as was used in the postoffice building at Jefferson City, adjoining the site of the new capl- tol, would not be approved. Chairman Stephens and the other com- misioners, Speer, Lacaff and Hiller, in- spected the Jefferson City postoffice building, and declared the Bedford lime- stone had failed to withstand exposure and was in a dilapidated condition. The Ste. Genevieve stone is represented to be of a quality similar to the standard Bedford limestone, and is conceded by Gill not to be Burlingstone limestone, the variety which is most plentiful in Missouri, and which was specified in the contract. In ‘reply to Gill’s protest that many subcontractors had been held up by the board while considering the approval of stone, the commission’s statement says the roofing and window glass subcon- tracts are not pressing matters, and that other contracts are not in legal form in the opinion of the Attorney- General. Samples Not Submitted. Gill is reminded that he has not submitted samples in connection with these branches of the work, as re- quired by his contract, before sub- contracts are approved. The contract provides that within 42 days after the execution of the contract, 6ov. 28, Gill must submit samples of stone and other materials for approval. These samples should have been presented by Jan. 9. The reply to Gill’s protest over the rejection of Ste. Genevieve stone and the failure to act on other sub-con- tracts is summarized in Fitch’s state- ments, as follows. The sub-contracts mentioned do not meet the approval of the Attorney- General. Gill has defaulted in many instances on the terms of his contract, and the delay has been due to this and not the actions of the board. Gill has left the board in uncertainty and doubt by failure to meet his ap- pointments with it in Jefferson City. Col. Bill Phélps has busily repre- sented the interests of the Carthage district stone men, by appearing at many meetings of the Capitol Com- mission while Gil and the board were in a controversy over the use of Ste. Genevieve stone. Phelps, a mémber of the Legisla- ture.at the time the law was passed providing that only Missouri stone or granite should be used in the Capitol, has a smal] stock interest in one quarry company in the Carthage dis- trict, but declares his activity is not inspired by this ownership. $150,000 Differnce in Cost. The difference in cost of Burlington limestone from the Carthage quarries and Bedford limestone from Ste. Gene- vieve is $150,000 in favor of the latter, according to members of the commis- sion. Gill has not yet presented to the March 6.—The quired at the time of accepting the con- tract, showing how much had been esti- mated in his bid for each branch of work on the structure. The capitol contract provides that the completed building must be delivered by the contractor July 1, 1916, and fixes a penalty of $260 a day for each day thereafter in which the capitol is. not completed and accepted. Competitors of Gill in the origina] let- ting said the time was barely sufficient and the delay of three months in select- ing the stone may lead to ltigation even if an agreement is reached in the near future and work proceeds.

HOGHDOERFER FORGETS 10 GO 10 GUURT, FINED $9.3) Autopsy Physician Arrested in Cafe and Taken to Potosi to Testify. Dr. Daniel F. Hochdoerfer of 3405 | Pestalozzi street, chief autopsy phystf- cian of St. Louis, Friday returned from Potosi, Washington County, Mo., whither he was taken in custody of a sheriff and fined $9.37 for contempt of court Thursday because he had for- gotten all about a summons to appear there as a witness in a murder trial Monday. Though Potosi is only 69 miles from St. Louis, Dr. Hochdoerfer figures the journey cost him $659.37. Dr. Hochdoerfer was in a restaurant at Grand and Magnolia avenues Wednesday night when a tall slim man approached him ana addresséd him by name. ) Sheriff Shews His Star. When the doctor acknowledged the salutation the stranger showed him a star, and introduced himself ag Sheriff L. C., Flynn of Washington County. “You're under arrest,”’ he said. ‘““You should have been in court Monday, and I’ve got an attachment to take you down to Potosi right away.” Dr. Hochdoerfer then remembered that he had been summoned as a wit- ness in the case of a Potog constable who shot- William Portney at Richmond, Mo., Aug. 13, last. Portney died in a St. Louis hospital, and Dr. Hochdoerfer made the autopsy. He also remembered that he had been summoned to appear in Judge Hennings’ If he went to Potosi with the Sheriff he might lay himself open to a contempt charge here. He telephorted Judge Hen- nings, who advised him to go with the Sheriff until he met a policeman, who might induce the Sheriff to release him. Taken to Police Station. ‘On leaving the restaurant with the Sheriff Dr. Hochdoerfer saw a police- man and called him. This made the Sheriff angry. ‘“‘Now I'll have you arrested,” he said, keeping tight clutch on the~™ doctor’s coat sleeve and leading him to the Mag- nolia Police Station across the street. The police refused to interfere. Sheriff Flynn took Dr. Hochdoerfer to Union Station and made him buy his own ticket to Potosi. It was near mid- night when the train departed. Thursday Dr. Hochdoerfer was taken before Judge Deering on a contempt charge. He says the Sheriff put some figures on the back of an envelope and whispered to the Judge, who then said: “You are fined $9.37 for contempt of court.”’ Dr. Hochdoerfer says he thinks this amount represented the Sheriff's ex- penses for the trip to St. Louis. Dr. Hochdoerfer then took the stand and testified as an expert witness. rie says he thought he would have a chance to get even by sending in a bill for spe- cial witness fees as an expert, but after the trial he was told that Washington County hadn’t paid witness fees to any- one for several years. He figures that his expenses on the trip were $15, not counting the $9.37 fine. On his return to St. Louis he found that if he had been in town Thursday he wolud have had an opportunity to make an autopsy, for which he would have received $10, and to hold a consultation, the fee for which would hawe been $25. 40 WOMEN KILLED IN YEAR BY COAXING FIRES Illinois Report Shows That Many Perished as Result of Pouring Oil Into Stoves.

Norman Angell of London and Paris, general manager of the Paris Daily Mail and author of “The Great Illusion,’’ which has been printed in 15 languages, was in St. Louis Friday to address the City Club at luncheon. He is the foremost of those peace advocates who base their argument against war sobke- ly on grounds of business. profit, cotm- mercial and political expediency. “The Great Illusion’, was written to show that no nation gains, and every nation loses, by war and warlike preparations. To a Post-Dispatch reporter at the Planters Hotel Friday, Angell declared his belief that a “full-dress, first-class war’ between European nations will never again take place. “I am no prophet,” Angell said, “but looking at it from a logical standpoint, my prediction should prove correct. For 20 years European statesmen predicted that when the Balkans went to war all of Europe would be plunged into con- flict. Well, just a year or so ago the Balkans fought it out—Turkey was van- quished, but the big Powers of the Con- today the same spirit was rampant im the United States which swayed your country in the days of ’98, the year 1914 would see an American army in Mexico. “You ask me when will international War cease.

ARDEN SAGE DARKENS GRAY HAIR SO) NATURALLY THAT NOBODY CAN TELL Quickly Restores its Beauty and Lustre, Prevents Scalp Itching, Removes Dandruff and Stops Falling Hair. That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew- ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. While it is a mussy, tedious task it well repays those whose hair is turning gray, faded cr streaked. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its ap- ‘pearance a hundred fold. Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a §0-cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and beens lustre of your hair and is the best thing known to remove dandruff. stop scalp itching and falling hair. Everybody chooses “Wyeth’s” Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time which requires but a few moments. Do this at night and by morning the gray hair has disappeared and after another application it becomes beau- tifully dark and appears glossy, lus- trous and abundant. It certainly helps folks look years younger and twice as attractive, says a _ well- known downtown druggist.—ADV.

WASHINGTON, March 6—The Sims bill to repeal the Panama Canal tolis exemption was favorably reported by the House Commerce Committee today by a vote of 17 to 4. Representatives Doremus of Michigan and O’Shaunes Democrats; Knowland of California, Re- publican, and Lafferty of Washington, Progressive, voted against it. This action came witazn iess than 24 hours after President Wilson’s personal appearance at a joint session of Con- gress with a request that action be tak- en to repeal the clause exempting Amer- ican coastwise ships from toll charges, on the ground that it was in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The Sims bill had been stored in the files ever since the House rejected it as an amendment to the Panama law, but it was recalled for consideration imme- diately after the President’s address. To Strike Out One Sentence. The bill as reported by the committee simply provides that the sentence in the Panama Canal act reading, ‘‘No tolls shall be levied upon vessels engaged in the coastwise trade of the United States” Shall-be repealed. Members who voted against it pointed out that another provision relating to minimum tolls also must be repealed or the whole question still will be open and allow American vessels free use of the canal. * Chairman. Adamson immediately began work upon a report to the House and declared he would press the repeal just as rapidly as possible. The committee also voted to ask for a special rule t> expedite the repeal. With three days allowed for the minority report, it. 1s probable no effort will be made to bring up the bill in the House before next Thursday. - Senate to Recall Bill. Similar action on the Root bill by the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Ca- nals was promised, as that committee also had before it the Chilton measurs, which would give the President author- ity to impose or suspend tolls by proc- lamation. Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania and Representative Swa- ger Shirley of Kentucky have made a ‘poll of the House by delegations and are satisfied that the toll clause provi- sion of the canal bill will be repealed by the Wouse by a fair majority. Palmer said he had no definite esti- mate on the probable vote, but he was Satisfied that about one-half of the Republicans would vote with the Demo- ciats to support the President. This Republican vote, hé’ said, would go far to offset the loss of about 30 per cent of the Democrats, which is regarded as probable. It is regarded as certain that a safs majority for repeal exists in’the Sen- ate. A recent poll made by the Post- Dispatch correspondent’ indicated that 37 Senators were unalterably committed to support of the President, while 31 were equally positive in their antagonism. There were found 26 doubtful and non- committal Senators exactly divided be- tween the two political parties. It .is considered assured that at least 11 of the 26 who have not expressed a decidei opinion will vote to repeal the exemption clause. Democrats from some of the Eastern and Western Coast States and States on the Gulf of Mexico are expected to vote against the repeal because their ‘local shipping interests want to benefit by the proposed subsidy. Although it was confidently predicted that more than a sufficient number of votes would be assured in favor of the repeal, it was admitted there would ‘e vigorous opposition in both houses and that a bitter fight was certain. O’Gorman to Lead Opposition. Senator O’Gorman of New York, who will lead Democratic opposition to the repeal in the Senate, issued a statement last night saying that while he yielded to no one in respect for the President's motives and patriotism, his duty as a Senator left him no alternative but re- sistance to the proposed repeal. He characterized the move as unwise, un- necessary and destructive to the best interests of the American people, and quoted former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt, former Secretaries of State Knox and Olney, and Representative Underwood, as holding the exemption clause not to be in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Some Senators and Congressmen indi- cated they would support the repeal, though they did not agree with the President’s position. “T voted for toll exemption,”’§ said Senator Kern, ‘Democratic leader in the Senate. “If I vote for the repeal it will not be because I have changed my views. I do not believe that toll exemp- tion violates the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. If I support the President's request 1 will do so because of his desire for Congress to support his foreign policy, and for the further reason that in ques- New White Star Liner, Butlt for Safety, Is Launched.

8T. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. KS ATTACKS EXICAN POLICY NN US. SENATE ee 1 Declares We Are. Laughing- Stock of World and Yet- May Be Forced to Invade. ATTACKS TARIFF ACT Insists It Wouldn’t Have Been Passed Only for President Wilson’s Coercion. ae pemeera WASHINGTON, March 6.--Predicting that the Mexican situation is a matter with which the United States ‘‘shall bs forced to deal in some decisive way, and very soon,”’ Senator Works, Repub- lican, of California, sharply criticized the Mexican policy of the administratioa today in a speech in the Senate. Awe may be forced yet.” he said, “‘tos intervene in some form in Mexico. Tf we do, it should not be for the ag- grandizement of our gountry, the ce i tion of territory, or any other van- tage to us, but in the interest of the Mexican people and other residents, the restoration of peace and order and the establishment of a stable government.” Terms Diplomacy Ridiculous. — Senator Works outlined the events in the history of Mexico leading up to the present difficulties, and the refusal of this Government to recognize Huerta after the assassination of Madero, “doubtless by Huerta, who succeeded “him, or with his knowledge and conniv- ance.’ After the withdrawal of Ambassad»-: Wilson from Mexico, Senator Works de- clared, referring to the sending of John Lind to Mexico City, there ‘“‘commenced a series of conduct of a kind wholly unknown to diplomacy, and so absurd as to make us ridiculous at home and abroad.”’ The demand of the President in his message to Huerta that there should be an armistice, could not have been com- rlied with, the Senator continued, ani the demand that security be given for a free election in Mexico was impossible of fulfillment because of the ignorance of the Mexican masses. Such an elec- tion, he declared, probably would have brougbt about the “election of a bull fighter for President.”’ Forced to Bear World's Sneers, “Naturally, Huerta refused to con- sider these proposals,’’ continued the Senator. ‘“‘What else could have been expected? His refusal put our Govern- ment in a most unfortunate position. It could not enforce its demands. It might go to war, but the refusal to comply with the demands could furnish no justification for declaring war, be- cause we had no right to make them. So we had to submit tamely to the position of Huerta—bear the derision and sneers of the Mexican people and the indulgent smiles of all the nations of the world. “At last a prominent British subject was brutally murdered by Villa, or by his orders. Public indignation ran high The people were aroused, but the State Department maintained its usual degree of composure. “I do not know why the murder of a citizen of Great Britain should have created more feeling than the assassina- tion of hundreds of our own ople, ex- cept that we have assumed to be the protector of the citizens and subjects of all other nations and insisted that sucn nations should leave this euty and re- sponsibility to us. Calls Ville a Brigand. “This case was one to put our good faith and our courage to the test. The - poor widow asked for the body of her husband, buried on Mexican soil. What did our Government do to obtain it? It humbly petitioned Villa, his murderer, to allow his remains to be removed. “The State Department spent days in trying to find out whether this man was shot by Villa or put to death by order of a drumhead courtmartial, called not by a soldier, not by a belligerent, but by a. brigand and professional murderer. “What possible difference does it make, whether he lost his life one way or the other? For this the sorrowing widow was left waiting for her dead. What should have the Governmient done in the case? Just what it should have done for one of its own citizens—sent our soldiers into Mexico and brough®é out the body. “What right has Villa to say that the body of a victim of his wrath should be removed or not? What has become of our courage and manhood that we could leave it to him to settle such a ques- tion?” Charges Executive Coeraion, “Coercion used by President Wilson to compel action by Congress’ was voiced by Senator Works in what he ‘ermed “‘A friendly review of the achievements of the executive and lezg- islative branches of the Government in the one year of Democratic rule.’’ A year of almost continuous congres- sional session, ‘‘mostly for the political advantage of the Democratic party,’’was declared to be the most striking feature of the administration. The Senator reviewed the tariff bill and charged that “but for the coercion used by the President upon Congress it never would have passed.” Executive pressure had created in the Senate, he -gsaid, an apathy that impaired that body’s usefulness. The income tax law and the currency bill were also men- tioned in this connection. He deciared it was evident to every- body that the administration is opposed to granting suffrage to the women, “but lacks the openly and oppose it.” Montgomery Couaty Club Receptica.

Southern Railway No. 11 Robbed in Same Way, Same Time, Same Place, 2 Years Ago. | COLUMBIA, S. C., March 6.—A bandit boarded Southern Railway train No. 11, Charleston to Columbia, just after the train entered the city limits here, early today, covered the mail clerk with a revolver and forced him to stand with his face to the wall, gathered up a num- ber of sacks of registered mail, and then jumped off the car just before the train reached the station, and escaped. Just two years ago the same train Was robbed at the same place, at the same hour and in the same manner. The robber tn that holdup obtained only a. small amount of booty. The amount of. loot in this morning’s holdup is expected to reach a considerable figure, as the robber carefully selected the registered packages. Police and officers of the railroad com- pany are searching for the robber. Cc. E. Thomas, in charge of the mail car, reported the robbery when tlie train reached the Union Station. The robber, Thomas said, entered the?#car as the train slowed up just inside the city limits and timed his movements careful- ly, leaving the car just in time to escape before the train reached the station.

NEW YORK, March 6.—The New York State Legislature was asked by Gov. Glynn in a special message today to enact a measure for the aid of the unemployed. His plan is for the crea’ tion of a new bureau of employment in the State Department of Labor “¢‘in charge of a director of recognized ex- ecutive and managerial ability and technical and scientific knowledge on the subject of unemployment.” The scheme contemplates the estab- lishment of public employment bu- reaus at various points, the supreme director to be chosen by civil service examination. An advisory prominent employers tives of labor would be appointed by the Labor Commissioner for each of- fite. It is specified that no applicant for work shall be deprived of the bu- reau’s assistance HWecause of his refusal to work in an establishment where a strike is in progress, committee composed of and representa- ery odor—no disagreeable concoc- tions—but a daintily perfumed tea- colored liquid that proves its good- ness the first time it is used.

They said ‘‘to make the Liver act,’’ but we have learned that the Liver is but a strain- er and that Bile clogs in the Liver, leaving the body a prey to the putrid matter that should be. disinfected by the Bile. Your ancestors knew that it was necessary to start this Bile, and didn’t. temporize. They took May-Apple Hoot in some form, and while it griped and sickened, they took it because it Did Deliver the Bile. In PoDoLax you have th? same RES TOOK IT thing, but without the gripe and nausea, It acts so quietly that you are never disturbed in your daily vo- cations. You or your children should take a spoonful at bedtime as soon as you notice the bad taste—the bad breath— the coated tongue.- Do so and you are free of it the next day. To have it in the house means to take it early and be relieved quickly—so by all means get a bottle at the’ first drug store and take a stitch in time. If we could only prove to you that PoDoLax is not a purging cathartic— not an uncertain laxative—but a gen- tle loosening of the Bile from the Liver—vyou would require no urging, but would provide a family bottle for regular use. cue>rns ® : a be «2 . ° ~” Penrose; J. and C.

At first this is what one might almost term a ‘‘natur- al’’ fault; but, at the same time, it is a particularly serious one, for the toes turned upwards rob the movements of the dancers of the last shred of grace. 3 Bad habits are easy to acquire in learning the Tango, but this particular fault is quite one of the worst, usually committed by moderately efficient dancers.

The Autopiano Is the Recognized World’s Standard Players Many pianos have heretofore been purchased because custom deemed no home complete without one. Thousands of these pianos are seldom, if ever, used. The children to whom lessons are stead of cases, tire of the labor connected With the mastering of their compositions, and the piano soon becomes a si- Time and inventive ingenuity have changed this, however, and today the Autopiano stands of the ‘Spirit’ of Progress,’’ for people now realize the convenience of possessing what 1s not only a piano for those who are able to play, but is also an instrument of pleasure for those who have had neither the time nor opportunity to master the art of Chopin, Beethoven, Wagner, Tiszt, and other famous composers of piano classics. Anyone can play the Autopiano. practice, artistic playing is possible, for the mechanisin of the Autopiano is so responsive that the simplest use of its devices produces the desired result. In order that any player-piano plays accurately, ac- curate alignment of the music roll is essential. perforations in the music roll and the little holes in the tracker-bar, each representing a different note, must ab- lent ornament. forth as a striking solutely coincide at all times. example | The Musie Roll Guiding Device of the Autopiano is an exclusive patent and automatically holds the music roll in perfect alignment. It operates directly on the music spool, and consequently it does not touch and de- stroy the musie rolls. The Automatic Music Roll Transmission is ingeni- ously and yet simply constructed. The gearing is carried in a one-piece steel frame with special compo- sition bearings which make the gear noiseless. The Autopiano Solo Attachment Device ‘enables the performer to subdue or bring out either the bass or the treble or both, and is most useful and effective Yn ae- companiments and in playing dance music. By means of two buttons the pneumatics raising the hammer rail are operated, and the hammers are brought nearer to the strings, shortening and therevy softening the stroke. Artistic playing is usually accomplished by holding both buttons down and releasing either the treble or bass button to emphasize the certain notes that bring out the melody in the composition, This is made. easy by the special Autopiano ‘‘Solostyle’’ Musie Rolls, | which indicate just what treble and bass notes are to be accented. , In the majority With little very The ' I Trade in your silent Piano on an Autopiano The Ist, 2d, 3d and 4th lessons were ‘issued in this paper, Feb. 25th and 27th and March Ist, 3d. by The next lesson will appear in this paper March 10th, & by e Player-Piano House H100 OL/VE ST EAST ST.

The Municipal Government is divided imte more than 30 departments, includ- ing the Departments of Sewers, Streets, Water Supply, Plumbing, Lighting, Wa- ter Rates Collection. In almost every bit of public or private work on which ‘ Ingpection is required by law, two or more of these departments are required to see that the work performed does not violate the city code. Members of the Conference Committee are aware also that the various depart- proceed independently to prepare ela) records of every public street ' apd block in the city, on which is marked the sewers, wire or gas mains, water pipes or plumbing. There is no Je set® of block maps at the city , which shows all of the data af- fecting the various departments, yet all of this Gata is listed in a dozen or more sets of drawings made at great expense by each department.

Ellis was pale and weak and showed signs of faintness during the demands of Malato that the jury condemn him to death. Ellis. killed his wife in their hetel room.

W. W. unemployed church raiders last night. Cowed by the combined severity of the courts and the aggressiveness of the police, the men who “wouldn’t work for less than 30 cents an hour and an eight- hour day’’ and were going to “demand food and shelter and refuse thanks for it,” who were going to grow 30,000 strong and storm the city, melted away into silence. It took just two arrests to put a quietus on the demonstration promised in Rutgers Square. Theodore Freeman, one of the leaders of the unemployed, and Darwin J. Mes- erole, a Brooklyn lawyer and Socialist, were arrested there for making speeches. Freeman was fined $3 in night court by Magistrate Ten Eyck and Meserole was discharged. Freeman’s fine was paid by a man who refused to give his name. I. W. W. leaders were cheered during the early part of yesterday by promise of help and sympathy; but the ragged “army” realized the seriousness of its position when the hours wore away and only one of the 191 priseners taken :.n St. Alphonsus’ Roman Catholic Church Wednesday night had procured as much as temporary liberty on bell.

A COMMUNITY ASSET. The appeal to the community for an endow- ment fund with which to strengthen the organi- zation and enlarge the field of usefulness of the Symphony Orchestra rests upon two strong grounds. 1. The orchestra offers to St. Louisans the means of enjoying good music and cultivating musical taste. It is an educational institution and a source of pleasure to the people of St. Louis. | 2. The orchestra testifies to the musical cul- ture and taste of the people of St. Louis. It is a valuable advertisement for St. Louis. From both of these standpoints the orchestra is a rich municipal asset. Obviously, the better the orchestra, the stronger and firmer the organization, the greater the talent and skill of its members, the more it will con- tribute to the enjoyment and the culture of St. Louisans. Obviously, the wider the field in which it rep- resents the musical culture and taste of St. Louis the greater its usefulness to the city. To bring the orchestra to the highest standard of strength and perfection’ as an organization and to broaden its field of representation requires re- sources far beyond its money-making capacity. It is not a money-making venture. It is an art institution. Making money is not and should not be the purpose of its management. Its ideal function in the city—the function which its pro- moters and active managers want it to perform— requires that money-making be an Incident of its work. | It is gratifying to find the business men of St. Louis awaking to the value of the symphony orchestra as an asset. The action of the Business Men’s League in coming to the aid of the move- ment to raise an endowment fund of $45,000 is It is a sign of promise for St. Louis. But the helping hand should not be confined to the Business Men’s League. It should be shared zens. . The orchestra is a community asset and should have the active support of the whole community. = = * A a A Lucky Henry Zang.

The new holiday should start with the full precautions of the safe and sane tradition. a —- i a A DIFFICULT TASK. Adding anything to President’s Wilson brief but comprehensive message on the Panama tolls question is trying to paint the lily. The whole argument is stated so conclusively in two para- graphs that they are worth the emphasis of re- print: In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption constt- tutes a mistaken economic policy from every point of view, and is, morcover, in plain contravention of the treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal concluded on Nov. 18, 1901. ° s . . We consented to the treaty; its language we accepted, if we did not originate it; and we are too big, too powerful, too self-respect- ing a nation to interpret with too strained or refined a reading of the words of our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. On the economic and moral side—the side of honor—the. President stands on firm ground. Those who oppose him must plead more than mere difference of opinion—they must justify their position at the bar of public opinion. This will be a difficult task. a & i i A THE SCHERRER PULL. Indications that some of the members of the House combine will not stand for defiant oppo- sition to the popular will expressed in an initiative petition are gratifying. To put the city to the expense of two elections when one its suf- ficient to determine whether the voters are for or against a bond issue for the city’s approach would be a disgraceful exhibition of the suprem- acy of the private pull over the public interest. If Promoter Scherrer and his henchmen in the House of Delegates can compel a majority of the members wantonly to force a double election, when over 80,000 voters petition for the submis- sion of a bond proposal, they will demonstrate a shameful control of the city’s representatives. It is incredible that men with any self respect or sense of duty and responsibility would submit to such dictation. ere ~ AMAZING I. W. W. CAMPAIGN. Following up their late visits to one or two New York churches, the Industrial Workers of the World plan the organization of turbulent bodies to make further visits to all New York houses of worship, of whatever creed, to demand employ- ment, shelter and food. One effect of these aggressive visits of attack must be to acquaint the public more intimately with the I. W. W. purposes and the spirit of revo- lution as defined by I. W. W. leaders. The move- ment will not benefit from acquaintance made under these circumstances. The right of worship- ers to be immune from interference will not be viduals their requests are denied or tabled.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Wenneker, who denounces the blocking of street car traffic, must be as !gnorant of the fact that the Fourteenth street bridge has no wagon road as he is of the traffic laws. If any of the Polar Wave or any other drivers were to pull out ef the car track while on the bridge proper, it would be necessary for them to pull over to the left side of the bridge, thereby violating the | traffic laws,. laying themselves liable to arrest. they did station an officer on each end of the bridge, and they would order these drivers to pull out of the track while on the bridge proper (which I don’t think they would), each ’ order would be in violation of the traffic rules, as there is no wagon road to’the right of the car track, and the driver would necessarily have to pull to the left, violating aforesaid rules. Surely, any driver that walks his team with a big load ought to be accorded ewery human re- spect, especially after pulling up these grades on to these bridges. Mr. Wenneker would probably be one of the first to call an officer and have these same drivers a lash to these poor dumb brutes, trying to make up time, — _-Ehave no connection with the Polar Wave Ice gin Fuel Co. but I have a wholesome respéct, both for humane drivers and the traffic laws. + | ; G.

But is the law itself, with regard to cleaning side- walks, conducive to harmony? No law that ig- nores facts can bring anything but discord. And the flat is a fact that this law ignores. It is un- just, and Mrs. Upper-flat knows it is unjust. Let the city clean the sidewalks, as it cleans the streets. That will remove most of the in- harmony in flat life, which is difficult enough without having to obey or violate out-of-date, un- just laws. — == * — A continuance of box office receipts on the James K.

The large local interest felt in St .Louis’ own barge line project that failed will be transferred to the service to be inaugurated about March 15 between St. Louls end New Orleans by a single power barge owned by the Alabama & New Or- leans Transportation Co. The conviction that this is the way to seek practical demonstrat‘on of the river’s possibilities under existing conditions and handicaps is shared by all who have given serious. attention to the Missiseéppi navigation problem. Useful facilities of water transportat‘on developed on a small scale furnish the most potent argument for those greater facilities that can be realized only through elab- orate, far-seeing plans of permanent river im- provement. A commerce already created and dis- tributing wide benefits to residents of the valley will find a voice and become importunate for the enlarged opportunities that will enable it to sup- ply better service to the people. . The only demand the new line makes at present on St. Louis is for traffic in sufficient volume to utilize the full capacity of the barge on trips that the church; to which nothing that concerns man- kind is supposed to be alien?

Many persons are refusing to accept the esti- mate of Judge Lindsay of Denver, that on an average one out of every ten- women you meet is dissolute. That a man who looks on life from the position the Judge has occupied for some years should be inclined to exaggerated estimates on this sub- ject is not unnatural. The wide variance be- tween the estimates of men who come in close touch with human nature on its delinquent side and equally acute observers who study their fel- low men and fellow women under more advan- tageous circumstances, is very interesting. Still more interesting is the variation between the view of the man who in his earlier years may have seen much of the seamy side of existence and the more mature view of the same man when he has come to years of larger discretion and {is con- vinced of the so much bad there is in the best of us and the so much good there is in the worst of us. The latter is the more accurate view, as Judge Lindsay will be convinced some day: Women over 21 years of age in the United States number 24,- 555,754.

Dear Sir: I noticed in one of the St. Louls papers an advertisement for a book entitled story of the year in pictures. It is all right so far, but they advertise that they show Balkan war pictures—and those actual] scenes are taken on the spot of warlike and other events, but that fs not so. All it has is 2-3 pictures—i Bul- garians before Adrianople, 2 Bulgarians in camp, etc. They should call that Bu!- garian war, and not Baikan, because the 1918 was victorious for Greece Servia Roumania, and if they had at least one picture of each country then they had a right to call them Balkan pictures.

MNO GEORGE, SEE AMY AERO 1 CERTAINLY DONT i™m THAT “DIRECTION A STATE OFFICE FOR ST. LOUIS. From the Callaway County Journal. We note from the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch that the labor people of St. Louis gave Col. Gardner and his wife a great reception Dec. 6, as a token of their ap- preciation of his worth as a man, a cit- izen, and friend of humanity. Col. Gardner also stands very high with the business interests. So, to our mind, there is no reason why the peo- ple of this State would not accept a man of his type. In fact, is it not only fair that St. Louls should be given a chance sider the large amount of State taxes that are contributed by the people of St. Louis. Yet St. Louls has not a single representative in the State administra- tion at Jefferson City. Nor has one of tts citizens been selected as a member of the United States Senate for many years past. So, all in all, {t seems to us that our country friends should join in selecting some able, progressive, business man for our next chief executive. And while, as we have said above, this paper is Re- publican through and through, yet we must say in all frankness that should the Democrats nominate Col. Gardner he would receive an enormous amount of independent and Republican votes which would not go to any other Democrat who has been mentioned for the nomina- tion. ILLITERACY IN RUSSIA. From the Chicago Record-Herald. Recent reference to the drink evil in Russia—an evil which the Czar himself jhas gravely recognized in a manifesto —will be better understood in the light of the latest official figures on pub- lic education. There are only about 5,000,000 pupils tn Russia’s elementary schools. On anything like the American basis, Russia would have 32,000,000 pupils. teachers, perhaps one-third are igno- rant or all but illiterate. How many of the graduates of the common achools really have an acquaintance with the three R's, the officia) figures do not and cannot tell. The illiteracy of the masses is still alarming and almost general. A little has been done to improve educa- tional conditions since the establishment ly been felt in national life. Meantime the State liquor monopoly encourages drink for the sake of reve- nue, and of the millions yielded by this monopoly the bureaucrats spare a ri- diculously inadequate amount for pop- ular education. The strengthening of ternperance agencies is, indeed, advo- cated by some ministers, but universal education as a temperance measure has no official support. It still spells ‘‘ni- hilism”’’ and unrest te them. “REGISTRATION AREA” INCREASE. From the Columbia (8S. C.) State. Hardly will any legislator be able to vital statistics bill in this State.

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and rthat is to dissolve it, then you de- stroy it entirely. To do this, just get ‘about four ounces of plain, com- mon liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com- pletely dissolve, and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for noth. ing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it.—ADV, The Story of Two Sparrows Sandman Tale of Birds That Learned Some- thing From the Chil- dren.

She waited quietly as long as she could and then chirped at him. ‘The family in that house have a great many children,"’ he told Spotty, 4s he perched on the limb beside her. “There is a row of beds on both sides of the room and a nurse is feeding some of the children, and others she has put in a wheel chair, and some of them seem to be asleep. I do not know what the nurse would do if all of them awoke at the same time.”’ ‘‘Look,” said Spotty, as a door was opened on a long piazza, ‘they are bringing out the children in the chairs Let us fly over and look at them.” “They look sick,’’ said Brownie. “They are sick,”’ said Spotty. “I know what this place is—it is a hospital, and that is the children’s ward where you were looking in at the window.” “Oh, look at the birds,’’ said one little girl as she saw Spotty and Brownie hopping along the railing of the piazza. “Tt wish we had some crumbs,”’ said another little girl. “V’ll ask nurse if she can get us some,” said a little girl who sat near the door. , The nurse was kind and wished to give the sick children all the pleasure she could, and she brought a piece of bread for each child to break in crumbs for the birds. Spotty and Brownie hopped from chair to chair, picking up the crumbs and chirping, which delighted the children. Of course, they did not understand what the birds said, but they were talk- ing about their nest. “I think,” said Spotty, “that we better build near the piazza; we can give s0 much pleasure to these sick children, and then they may feed us.” “T think as you do, my dear,’’ Brownie replied; ‘‘and if you will look in the cor- ner of this piazza you will see the very piace—it looks like a broken shelf.” By and by the nurse came and took the chil- dren away, but they were all smiling and happy, and some of them had not smiled before for many days. ‘‘Perhaps they will come again tomor- row,”’ one little girl said. ‘tT hope so,’ said another, “it is such fun to watch them hop about and pick up the crumbs.”’ ‘You see,”’ said Spotty, ‘“‘we’ really must build our nest near those sick chil- dren.”’ One morning when the nurse brought the children to the piazza one exclaimeil: ‘Do look at the nest in the corner,”’ and Spotty poked up her head and chirped at them. In a few minutes Brownie flew to the nest with a nice big worm, which he gave to Spotty, and the children laughed with delight. And when the lit- tle sparrows were hatched and Spotty and Brownie Were teaching them to fly the children were so pleased they did not want to leave the piazza. They told the children, who were too ill to sit on the plazza, the story of Spotty and Brownie, and they were so interested that they forgot. their pains any time they could be told a new story about the birds. Spotty and Brownie brought up their little ones to fly and hop around the windows and the piazza of the children’s ward, ‘“for,’”” said Spotty, ‘these sick children cannot get out into the sun- shine as you can, and you can make them sm "> by hopping about and chirp- ing to them each day.” “‘We will teach our children to think of others as well as themselves,”’ she told Brownie, ‘‘and that will give them more pleasure than happing about quar- reling with the other birds.” Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City ANOTHER SANDMAN STORY WILL BE PUBLISHED TOMORROW.

Only a little margin of waste in the hbandling of goods is necessary in order completely to Cissipate the small margin of profit, leaving the merchant with only his labor for his pains. It is impossible to point to a single successful merchant or manufacturer who has not a proper regard for the value of money and the importance of thrift in all business relations Any beginner in business who does not have this thrift instinct or who does not acquire the habit, will be handi- capped just to that extent in striving to- ward the goal of commercial success.

Then it was that Ban cried: “Down with the Tyrant,’ and shouted for liberty of action.

With the Fed- eral League trying to cut in on the same, Ban is now playing the part of the tyrant, and repulsing the mili- tant Federal invaders.

Gth Street rine and ote DAVIS. Pooh, on the Outlaw League. LEMON GROVE, Fla., March 6. HERE was quite a commotion in the camp last night, caused by. the unexpected arrival of Col. Privet, sole proprietor of the Whif- flebats. The Colonel looked to be in the best of health and spirits, notwithstanding the report that several car loads of steel had arrived for the grand stand of the Outeast League, a fly-by-night organization formed for the sole purpose of annoying the Colonel. The writer had a long talk with Col. Privet, after he had partaken of a hearty supper of ham from the famous ham trees of Lemon Grove and eggs from the private egg plant of Mine Host Himmelbaum. Why Not Try a Pish, Tush? HAT do you think of the Outcast League, Colonel,” we asked. “Pooh, pooh!” replied the Colonel, which Uluminating remark he sup- plimented with a scornful “tush, tush!’ “What do you mean, pooh, pooh?’’ We timidly mmquived. the tush, tush imply?’ “By ‘pooh, pooh,’”’ said the Colonel, ‘I mean that the Outcasts should not be taken seriously, and ‘tush, tush’ Means that you should not ask foolish questions.’’ “But, Colonel,’’ we insisted, “‘the Outcasts are going right ahead and seem to be bountifully supplied with what our leading politicians are pleased to refer to as the ‘sinews of war.’ Do you think they can be disposed of with a pooh, pooh, and a tush, tush?’’ “Undoubtedly,” replied the Colonel. lieve one pooh would do the work.” Just Like the Colonel. AVING thus settled the fate of the Outcasts to his entire satisfaction the owner of the Whifflebats went out to the ostrich farm, where he stood for quite a while watching an ostrich standing in the inclosure with its head buried in the sand, happy in the delusion that nobody could see it. co The Lunch-Hook Slide. Cc OL. PRIVET grew very enthusiastic this morning as he stood watching the Whifflebats sliding down the banisters to their breakfasts. **What do you think of ’em, Colonel?” we asked. “Nothing to it, my boy; nothing to it! If those fellows slide into second the way they slide into the dining room there is not a catcher in the Cactus League can stop ‘em. It pertalnly does look like first division.”’ . * te For Flies Try a Net, Hank. OL. PRIVET took a seat in the bleachers and watched his crew of pen- nant chasers go threugh their evolutions this afternoon. A happy smile played over the Colonel’s countenance when ‘‘Happy’’ Hank Harrigan kissed one of Mr. Reach’s babies square on the trademark for one-third dozen pil- lows, sending three runs across the plate ahead of him. Hank is improving every day, and when he has learned how to catch a fly ball he will be the best fielder In the Cactus League. Old Joe Dugan, thé veteran backstop, who has rendered such yeoman serv- ice in polishing up the Whifflebat’s young pitchers, has been voted a full share in the world’s series money. nian Claflin ig.

From a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 6.— Yesterday’s rain, which washed away the game between the Cubs and Browns was not unwelcome to Manager Rickey, who believed his recruits have earn2d a respite from their strenuous training Rickey let it be known, after the cancellation, that he was very well pleased with the work done so far. “My pitchers are getting into shape nicely,’’ said Rickey. arm has completely recovered from its 1918 injury, and I believe Earl is now ready to go in and pitch his best. Mitchell and James also are in form, but I will not permit them to strain their whips just yet. I believe a good workout in a regulation game would do them no harm, however.”’ The Browns lock horns with the Cubs again today and with the serles stand- ing 2—1 in favor of O’Day’s men, Rickey is eage> to sew up the count. He an; rounced this morning that he would open the solree with James and close with Hamilton, these hurlers being tipped to bring home the bacon. Rickey' to Cut Squad. Manager Rickev is preparing to cut down his squad and yesterday held a long conference with Manager Bill Schwarz of the Nashville club. Schwarz is after a few iInflelders and Rickey has a job lot which he offered the Southern Leaguer. Dee Walsh, it is understood, already has been passed over to Mont- gomery, while youngsters like Bold, Leary et al are tn line for further sea- soning in a Class A organization. The local Board of Health has been asked to investigate the hotel at which the Browns are stopping. Too much water around anid under the bullding is liable to breed typhoid germs, Doc Lawler, the Browns’ trainer, contends, and if the condition is found un- sanitary the Browns may move, Cubs to Play Cards. The Brown Yanniganes go to St. Augustine Monday to wind up their series with the Cardinal recruits. So far the proteges of B. Rickey have won two games. From S:. Augustine the Rookies go to Jacksonvills for a two-game series with the second team of Connie Mack’s squad. Dr. P. W. Cowe, one of the directors in the local baseball association, has a large launch in Boca Ceiga Bay and is said to be arranging a one-day trip for the basa- ballers, their wives and the war correspond- ents. Just when it' will be no one knows. Some four or five miles from where the boat is moored afte located the “Grouper Banks,’’ where it is not at all unusual for a small party of fishermen to catch in a few hours as many fish az an ordinary launch can safely carry. LEACH CROSS WINS FROM BLOOM IN TEN ROUNDS NEW YORK, March 6.—Leach Cross, after a long and sucoessful trip to California, made his first appearance on his return hore in a 10-round bout with Phil Bloom of Brooklyn at the Empire A. C. last night. Cross landed the greater number of blows and was the aggressor throughout and was entitled to the honors on points, but he showed poor judgment of distance and was wild: He missed his swings so many times that the fans were surprised. Bloom boxed with the idea to last the 10 rounds and he suc- ceeded. He accomplished this by runninz around, ducking and clinching. He supple- mented this frequently by jabbing Cross t» the face with long lefts. Occasionally he uppercut with a right, but his blows carried little or no steam. Nevertheless, Bloom’s showing was an excellent one. Bloom weighed 135%. Cross 13714 pounds. SPEAKER EXPECTS TO SIGN WITH RED SOX BOSTON, Mass., March 6.—An intima- tion that ‘“‘Tris’’ Speaker, cénterfielder of the Boston American League team, is not inclined to accept an offer to join the Fed- is contained in a wireless message which he sent to this city be- fore the Lusitania docked in New York today. The message, sent in response to a query whether he would sign with Bos- ton this season, was: “Expect to be with Red Sox.’’ HOPPE AND SUTTON LEAD IN BALKLINE TOURNAMENT CHICAGO, March 6.—With three games won and none lost, and with a high run of 216, Willie Hoppe today held the. highesr standing in the five-men 18.2 billiard tour- nament which is being played here.

LONDON, March 6.—Prof. E. Naville, in a letter published In the Times today on excavations of the Egypt exploration found at Abydos, expresses the belief that they have found ‘“‘what Greek au- thors called the tomb of Osiris, where the head of the god is supposed to be apreserved.” Osiris was the most popular of the Egyptian gods, and became the judge of the dead, afte. his earthly career. The excavation began at the door which Prof. Petrie discovered two years ago. The doorway, Prof. Naville thinks, was the entrance to a passage leading to a subterranean chapel under the tem- ple of Seti I. ‘ Description of the Sanctuary. “We should never have expected what we found,” he continues. “‘Between the doorway and the temple is a complete sanctuary, evidently of the time of the Pyramids, very much ruined but built with huge materials, “It is rectangular. The inclosure wall is 12 feet thick and consists of two dif- ferent casings, the outer one of rough limestone and the inner one of large blocks of hard red sandstone. The length of the inside is 30 meters. The inclosed apace is divided into three naves, paral- lel to the long side. The division 1s made by huge pillars of Assuan granite. The middle nave, Prof. Naville says, led to the end of the wall, and here was found a small door closed by blocks of atone. Texts on Walls Identify Room. “When we had removed them,” Prof. Naville says, “we crept into a large hall very similar to that at the entrance, having the same width as the temple, 29 meters and a length of about five ine- ters. Its slanting roof was made of large blocks. Of this half was in a per- fect state of preservation. On one side and on part of the ceiling are engraved or painted funerary scenes of the time of Seti I. It is quite empty. “What shows that it was the burial place of Osiris are the texts on the walls, the end of the book, which may, be called the Book of the Underworld. Tt is not impossible that we may still find some concealed chamber or some hidden passage leading to a wall, thougn this is not very probable.” Society M iS.

Vandeventer Ar. ACRES AND NOT PEOPLE AMEND THE CONSTITUTION States, Regardless of in Changing the Fundamental Law. Weak Minorit A minority of the voters of the Re- public under the present system can amend the Federal Constitution. Acres and not men are counted in deciding whether or not the Constitution shall be amended. A minority of the voters of the Republic under the existing system of amendment can adopt woman suf- frage, single tax, state socialism, abo- lition of private ownership of prop- erty, can ‘wipe out labor organization by adopting an amendment to the Federal Constitution prohibiting the organization of trade unions, and 4 minority of the voters of the Repub- lic can adopt national prohibition by amending the Federal Constitution, and destroy one thousand millions of | dollars’ worth of property. Five millions of voters in thirty- four States (thirty-six being the re- quired three-fourths of the States necessary to adopt a Federal consti tutional amendment) can amend the Federal Constitution over the protest of the nine millions of voters in the twelve remaining States. Here is the process by which this can be done: The only method for amending the Federal Constitution is as follows: ‘¢ Amendments to Constitution. —The Congress, whenever two- thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amend- ments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the Legisla- tures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which in either case shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislature of three- fourths of the several States, or by conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be pro- posed by the Congress.’’ This provision makes the adoption of the amendment depend entirely on the favorable action of three-fourths, or thirty-six, of the States acting as States and not on the vote of a ma- jority of the voters of the Republic. It is plain if the three-fourths of the States adopting the amendment do not contain a majority of the voters of the Republic, that a minority of the voters of the Nation will be amending the Constitution. In other words, each State has the same weight and voice as every other, and the State with small population counts equally as much as the one with large population in deciding whether or not an amendment shall be adopted. To illustrate, Arizona, with three hundred thousand population, counts for as much on this question as New York with ten millions of ,people. Again to illustrate, compare the votes cast by the following twenty States and the vote cast by the State of New York in 1912: 112,876 23,722 48,694 51,891 20,044 79,309 50,348 79,910 62,807 42,296 77,894 Arizona Delaware Louisiana ....... ‘Nae South Carolina Wyoming Rhode Island ... Mississippi New Hampshire New Mexico Alabama Maine Georgia 1,578,072 New York cast in 1912 in round numbers ninety-nine hundred and eleven more votes than the twenty States named above, yet on the ques- tion of adoption of amendment to the Federal Constitution providing for woman suffrage, for wiping out trade unions, for single tax, for national! socialism, for doing away with the private ownership of property, for na- tional prohibition of manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, or for any other purpose, the twenty States with ninety-nine hundred and eleven less voters would have just twenty votes as against one vote by New York State. Again, compare the vote cast in 1912 by the following twenty-one States with the vote cast the same year by the following five largest States: eee 112,876 23,722 48,694 51,891 20,044 79,309 50,348 79,910 62,807 42,296 77,894 64,319 87,961 49,376 117,888 129,687 121,533 104,203 137,040 116,325 Arizona . Delaware Louisiana South Carolina ....... Wyoming - Rhode Island ........ Mississippi New Hampshire ...... New Mexico ......... South Dakota ane Government. North Dakota ........ Tilinois Ohio Pennsylvania .... Missouri ...... seen men This group of the five largest States having four million twenty- one thousand seven hundred and fifty-one more votes than the twenty- one States, would only have five votes on the question of whether or not an amendment to the Federal Constitution should be adopted or re- jected, while the twenty-one States would have twenty-one votes, or more than four times the power of the five . States, in deciding the question. Now, take another illustration of how the present system of amending the Constitution works out with ref- erence to control by the minority of the people: The thirty-six States naméd below constitute the three-fourths of the States of the Republic, and by their action can adopt or reject an amend- ment to the Federal Constitution. There are twelve States remaining. Suppose the thirty-six States named below vote, through their Legisla- tures, to adopt woman suffrage, for instance. And suppose the Legisla- tures of the twelve remaining States vote against the resolution providing for woman suffrage. The amend- ment would be adopted because the thirty-six States constitute the nec- essary three-fourths of the States. Compare now the votes cast in 1912 by the thirty-six States and by tho twelve States. : Thirty-six States, named below, cast votes in 1912 to the number of 5,585,186. The twelve remaining States, to- wit: New York 1,587,983 Illinois 1,146,103 Ohio 1,033,557 Pennsylvania ........ 1,220,201 Missouri California Indiana lowa Kentucky Massachusetts Michigan 550,776 New Jersey 432,534 Cast votes in 1912 to the number of 9,430,792. New York, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsy!l.- vania, Missouri, California, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mich- igan and New Jersey, comprising the twelve States, cast, in 1912, 3,845,606 more votes than the following thirty- six States: Utah Arizona Delaware Florida Nevada Louisiana South Carolina Montana Rhode Island Mississippi New Hampshire ...... New Mexico Alabama Maine 137,040 116,325 86,580 123,859 191,664 266,87 1 231,978 243 801 254,389 247,821 136,976 268,828 249,481 South Dakota ....°:., North Dakota Arkansas Connecticut Colorado Maryland North Carolina ...... Oklahoma Tennessee Virginia West Virginia Nebraska Texas Washington Kansas Minnesota Wisconsin 397.281 5,585,186 Yet the thirty-six States with 3,845,606 less voters than the twelve States have, could amend the Federal! Constitution and adopt woman suf- frage or any other amendment over the protest and against the wishes of a majority of the voters of the Re- public as represented by the vote in 1912 in the twelve States. On this question of the adoption or rejection of an amendment to the Federal Con- stitution, the thirty-six States witn 3,845,606 less of voters would have thirty-six votes, while the twelve States would only have twelve votes. In other words, while the thirty-six States would be in a minority as to votes to the extent of 3,845,606, yet on the decision of the question of the adoption or rejection of an amend- ment to the Federal Constitution, thirty-six States would have three times the power that the twelve States would have. The foregoing facts show acres not votes count on the question of amend- ing the Federal Constitution; that a minority of the Republic can adopt an amendment to the Federal Con- stitution. ‘The trend of current events indi- cates that the woman amendment to the Federal Constitu- suffrage* Population, Have Equal Force How a y Might Change Our Entire tion will likely be adopted by the votes of the Legislatures of thirty- six States, which thirty-six States will contain several millions less than a majority of the voters of the Re- public. In other words, indications now are that thirty-six of the smaller States in point of population will favor woman suffrage and by voting for the amendment to the Federal Constitution providing for female suffrage, force it on the States hav- ing a larger number of voters and more population. The following tables and grouping of States show the relative voting strength in general election of the various commonwea@iths and the dis- crepancy between the power of the voters voting at an election and éhe power of the States voting upon the adoption or rejection of an amend- ment to the Federal Constitution. Group of 21 States wherein the to- tal vote of 1912 equals the total vote of the State of New York for same year—YET ON a proposed Constitu- tional Amendment, THESE STATES WOULD HAVE TWENTY-ONE VOTES (21) as against one vote of New York State in voting on the proposition.

Yet upon a proposed Na- tional Constitutional Amendment these States would only count ag five votes: New York 1,587 983 Illinois 1,146,103 Ohio 1,033,557 Pennsylvania 1,220,201 Missouri 698,562 Grand total of five largest States (vote Group of remaining States not in- cluded in foregoing illustrations.
