Court at Danville, Ill., Friday. Former United States Senator William Lorimer of Chicago, whose construction company built and holds a blanket mort- gage against the entire physical prop- erty of the traction company, Was ap- pointed one.of the receivers, and indi- cated Saturday in an interview at Hotel Jefferson that he would fight any at- tempt to reduce the privileges now held by the company. Councilman Haller told a Post-Dis- patch reporter he would move to force from the Railroads Committee, where it has slumbered since last October, the Hines bill to cut the &-year grant to 25 years, with a proviso giving to the city the privilege to purchase at cost after 10 years. For two months there have been nine votes among the 18 Councilmen to sub- stitute either a 2%-year or an indeter- minate franchise for the long-term grant, but action has been deferred at the request of H. D. Mepham Jr., who cabled from London in January that an amendment at the time would pre- vent the delivery of bonds to the Ethel- burgh Syndicates Mepham is general manager of the traction company. “The excuse for delay disappeared when the receivership was asked,’’ Hal- ler told a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘“‘The ity e See ootid appointment of Lorimer as a receiver "4 : es OE Th oe See Cee me seems significant to me.

I do not understand how Lorimer can hope to act as receiver and principal creditor also in the event of a foreclosure.” Lorimer visited St. Léuis Friday night after his appointment as receiver by the Federal Court at Danville, Tll. At the Jefferson Hotel Saturday he told a Post- Dispatch reporter with emphasis that the traction company would enter St. Louis over the free bridge as soon as the highway approach was completed, and that the company was in a position to hold its present privileges. Lorimer said Mepham and Jeptha D. Howe, chief counsel for the company, would have no part in the management of the line while the receivership last- -ed, and said he was not in a position to state what their interest in the com- Engineers, Chauffeurs and Stenographers at Wages Up to $150 a Month Are on the Lists as Laborers, the Records Show.

J., March 7.—Eighteen members, in- eluding the captain of the crew of the steamer Charlemagne Tower Jr., which sank near here, are adrift on the ocean in an epen boat. The last seen of them, they were going out to sea in a svutheasterly direction: The steamer sank in-50 feet of water, three-quarters of a mile © from shore between Cedar Creek and Forked River life saving sta- | tions, six miles south of here. H. B. Thompson of Brooklyn, first 3 mate and three members of the crew, were brought ashore. The revenue cutter Itasca was sig- naled from shore of the predicament of | the 18 men and put to sea to search for the missing men. There are two big sandbars near the spot where the steamer sank yesterday and life savers were seriously handli- capped in launching their boats. One was launched, but was upset and the lifesavers waded ashore, Buat Soon Disappears. Capt. Murphy of the Tower and 17 men took a longboat. It was so overcrowded that they were afraid to try landing, on the first bar and hung around outside, hoping the sea would subside. Snow was falling; it grew thicker about 3 a. m. today and the longboat was lost from view. The weather lightened up again about 3°30 and there was no sign of the long- boat. When last seen, the men were so cold they could not use the oars and therefore could not control the craft. Unless ‘found by the revenue cutters er somé Steamer, it is believed here, all will perish.

A contract was made with the Ethel- berga Syndicate of London, England, to underwrite an issue of $7,000,000 of bonds for the construction of the first three sections of the line. The first section, between East St. Louis and Belleville, is all that has been completed. It has been equipped with stean: locomotives and 400 freight cars and gondolas, and a temporary traffic contract has been made with the Terminal Railroad Asso- ciation to effect deliveries in St. Louis via the Merchants’ Bridze.

Koehler, who is having @ hearing on charges of gross misconduct, the nature of which has been concealed with great care. Army officers here believe that Sec- retary Garrison, who tavors publicity in army matters, will bring about such changes in the regulations as will pre- vent an army defendant from electing whether the doors of a courtmartial shall be open or closed. The officers who do not favor such secrecy assert that they have the good of the army at large at heart.

| ST. LOUIS POST. DISPATU. WOMEN ENROLL RECRUITS FOR PURE FOOD CAMPAIGN Consumers’ League to Inspect Every Place in City Where Foodstuffs Are Sold. WOMEN = JOIN visits to Be Made at Regular In- tervals After Forces Are Organized. SOCIETY “Clean up or close up” is the order issued to St. Louis retail dealers in food- stuffs by the Membership Committee of the Missouri Branch of the Natidnal Consumers’ League. An aggressive cam- paign to increase the number of the league’s active workers was starte. at a meeting at the home Of the presi- dent; Mrs. Thomas H. McKittrick, 494 Berlin avenue, Thursday. As the result of plans then outiined, a committee of 40 young women—all prom- .inent in the social life of St. Louis—has been enlisted, with Mrs. Alden H. Lit- tle, 4650 Berlin avenue, as chairman, t9 assist in enrolling recruits to carry for- ward the work of cleaning up the bak- eries, restaurants, groceries, meat shops and factories of the city. It is expected that during March at least 1000 new members will be enrolled. With the working force which this in- creased membership will make possible. it is planned to keep every place in St. Louis where food is made or sold under strict sanitary regulation by visits from inspectors at stated intervals, and through a system of reports made by members of the league. From a list of more than 6000 names, which has been carefully selected and compiled by Mrs. Harry January, treas- urer of the league, groups of 100 each are apportioned among the members of the committee, and each person is solic- ited in an effort to obtain co-operation. “About three in every five persons I have approached on the inspection sub- ject have responded favorably,” said Miss Dorothy Niedringhaus of 79 Vande- venter place. ‘The people invariably display a lively interest and are in sym- pathy with the work. Mrs. Little summoned her lieutenants to her home Friday and heard their re- ports and suggestions for winning over St. Louis to the cleanliness campaign. Similiar meetings will be held during the remaining Fridays in March. Among those present were Misses Katherine Gatch, Minnie Potter, Anna Potter, Louise Wood, Helen Bonsack, Fanny Bryan, Oneida O’Hara, Marie Pittman, Irene Clifford, Theodore Thacher, Judith Oliver, Helen Wood, Grace Morrill; Mmes.

Members of the House of Delegates will make their debut as movie actors on St. Patrick’s day. This was decid-d at Friday evening’s meeting. A _ film company wanted the Delegates to pose next Tuesday for the action pictures to be shown at the Coliseum about June 1, but most of the members felt St. Pat- rick should be honored by setting his day for the occasion. Delegate John R. McCarthy made the motion for §t. Patrick’s day after the invitation h been read. So the Dele- gates will give an imitation on that day of the House of Delegates doing som-- thing.

[MA AND ZACKS MEN WIN EVEN HONORS Elizabeth Van Endert Sings Charmingly ; Glazounow’s “Kremlin” Greatly Played. CONCERT IS MEMORABLE Soloist Completely Captivates Audience—Orchestra Scores Notable Success. By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. REAT and well deserved as (> the triumph of Elizabeth Van Iindert, the German soprano, as the soloist of the Symphony Orchestra concert at the Odeon Friday afternoon, to be repeated on Saturday evening, the orchestra itself shared evenly in the day’s honors, adding another memorable success of big achievement to its fine record of the present season. The beautiful young German now seen and heard in St. Louis for the first time, scored her triumph in four well-chosen numbers—Agatha’s aria, “Wie Nahte Mir der Schu!mmer, fro Weber’s “Der Freischuetz;’’ Strauss’ “Wiegenlied,”’ D’ Albert's “Medieval liyvmn to Venus,” and, as an encore, a tenderly joyous little cradle song of Humperdinck’s writing. She reveated a voice of admirable puri- ty, truthful at all moments, sincerely thrilled with emotional feeling, capable of the most delicate shading in song ut- terance, yet of impressive tonal volume when the occasion demanded, aid al- ways marked by the technical competen- cy born of arduous and devoted dis- cipline. Her appeal to her audience Seemed ir- resistible. Following her first offering, the “Der Freischutz’’ aria, she was re- called again and again. When, in the program’s second half, she sang the Strauss cradle song and the D’Albecrt love hymn, her*“hearers refused to main content with her repeated reap- pearances, bowing, in answer to their applause. And so, yielding, she sang the Humperdinck lullaby, modestly re- fraining thereafter from taking advant- age of a furor of approval that might easily have been utilized to transform her into the vastly overshadowing fig- ure of the afternoon. Now, although Max Zach’s men masterfully interpreted the familiar Liszt symphonic poem, ‘‘Les Preludes,” that Mr. Zach felt justified in signaling them to rise and stand in response to the long-continued acclaim, their most no- table accomplishment was encountered in the presentation, for the first time in St. Louis, of Glazounow’'s splendidly col- orful symphonic tableau, ‘‘The Kremlin,’ testing to the fullest the modern orches- tra’s possibilities in dramatic tone-naint- was singer, im re- FO ig. liere was confronted one of the most inforgetable scores in this present era of the vital injection of drama in music. “The Kremlin’ fairly throbs with the vivid breathingness of its racia! theme.

The verv tussia eYverv spirit of barbaric Tussic. of the stenpes and nomad wastes. sounds in The touch of an ancient also is in it at cer- tain moménts, thrilled with a sug- gestion of fanatic pageantry and ceremonial. Now and then there is a heart-tugging sweetness, a hint of the folksong of a singularly childliksa yet temperamentally unhappy peo- ple. But always there is the note of the primitive passions, deepening into the frankly sensual—the cry of the body joined in amazing unison to that of the soul. The treatment of this score by the Symphony players was’ smashingly realistic—one will not find it easy to emerge from the perilous spell of Glazounow’s melodic weaving as thus vitalized to the utmost in its emo- tional appeal. Dear old Haydn's “Military phony’’—how gentle is its “warrior” voice and martial atmosphere!—com- pleted the program. It was tenderly interpreted by the orchestra, its sweet little adagio-allegro, its dainty minu. ette, and its finale movement being especially well presented. »f this re- the wild seore, ligious zealotry Svm a7 Meat Cutters to Form Union.

POOR HOLY GHOST OF CAMBRIDGE UDACIOUS satirical belittlement of A the bookish Brahmins of Holy Ghost College, Cambridge Univer- sity, England, is combined in ‘‘Carmen and Mr. Dryasdust” with the vividly dramatic story of how a very fefninine woman indeed married and humanized one of these illustrious pedagogues be- cause she had madly loved his’ wild brother in the dear and dead past. Carlotta Manton was the rightful name of this woman, but Basil Ponti- fax, the genius-stricken Bohemian brother of Reginald Pontifax, a musty- souled assistant tutor of Holy Ghost. had called her Carmen and she had called him Jose in the splendid days: when they loved and hoped soon to be married.. But Basil died in South America, whither he had gone, quixot- feally, at a friend’s call for help, and Carlotta Manton had died with him, ghe thought, in so far as any vital rel- ish of life now was left to her. But, sucdenly, wandering about Europe, sie heard again the peculiar nervous laugh that was Basil’s—and io! it came from the lips of his brother Reginald, 2 Veritable ‘“‘Mr. Dryasdust’’ of Cambridge Yriversity, the tamest and most con: ventional of men! Whereupon Carlotta married this Reg- fnald Pontifax and proceeded to ‘‘un- tame” him info something” like a sem- blance of his unconventional and most lovably human brother. It was a dif- ficult task, but Reginald was a goo deal of a flesh-and-blood man when once the moldiness of Holy Ghost Col- lege was scraped from him, and he re- sponded siowly but surely to Carlotte'’s task of making a “‘live’’ masculine thing of hinyw He came eventually to dis- cern the pettiness of Cambridge life, as HWumfrey Jordan, the story’s author, pictures it. He was led to see and scorn the pitiful littleness of Holy Ghost's intrigues for collegiate preferment and pomp of place. ‘He was, at the last, even induced to cut himself adrift frorm it all and fare forth to the great world of real men in London, there to de- velop into the distinguished figure mad: great native gifts for scientific invest'- gation. And then Carlotta really loved him—almost as fondly as she had loved is powerfully, though quaintly, told, with big and bold strokes of psychologica' truth. It »os- gesses a distinctiv) cfiarm al? fits own. The author seems to know his Cam- bridge University well—too well, indeed for the repute in dignity of that august seat of learning. And he knows women just as well as he knows the tradition- blighted barrenness of scholastic life. . Mis character-drawings of Carlotta and her volatile French friend, Mme. La- mont, are delightful in sex-fidelity and keenly truthful humor. One reads his sook with an ever-increasing joy in its jomanness and strength and satirical trenchancy.

OBERT ALEXANDER WASON, author of “Friar Tuck,”’ ‘‘Happy Hawkins’ and other capital out- door stories of adventure, has written @ short but “‘bully’’ story with the at- tractive title, “The Dog and the Child and the Ancient Sailor Man,”’ which largely hinges on the simple nobility of a dog of the great Dane breed. The child is a boy, an only son, whose mother, addicted to all that is called modern and scientific, is rearing the boy fyatenically, which from her point of View tends to keep him apart from his fellows, treating the outside world as apmething ever in need of disinfection. ‘The father, a physician with common sense as well as insight, perceives that the boy is destined to become a weak- lmg and a mollycoddle. He gets a great ane pup for him to play with, against the mot#r's protest. From that time, ings begin to happen. An old, simple- nhinded but honest sailor comes on the feene and ie permitted to be the child's daily playmate. It Is an odd trio. The ~\\eallor man is full of salt water legends of yarning.

It contains a certain Spanish nobleman and soldier who imagined that he was a woman-hater, who turned his roughest side to a world which he despised, but whose “bark was worse than his bite,’’ inasmuch as he was a very lovable chap Indeed when one came to know him. Those who came to know him best were a sweet old gentlewoman, the Countess de San- turee, widow of the Carlist General Barbastro, and her beautiful daughter, Senorita Augustias, who rescued him from death on a Madrid street, where he lay bleeding from wounds received while leading the Spanish troops against a force of revolutionists in a hand- to-hand battle on the afternoon of March 26, 1848, the beginning of the war to give Spain a republican form of government. These two patrician women were g00d enough to drag Capt. Poison from the street into their home, to send promptly for a physician and thereafter to nurse him back to health—in return for which he scolded them lustily, saying al) sorts of boorish things, affronting them with- out compunction, and, in fact, making himself as disagreeable as he could until—— Well, there you have the story. tn- til he fell heels over head in love with the beautiful Senorita Angustias, who had any amount of fun with him in her demurely tranquil way, who played him to her heart's content, who made him eat ‘“‘humble ple’ after a fashion to provoke the high gods themselves to laughter, and who then, because she loved this mock-misogynist very dearly, married him in despite of his threat to put all their children into orphan asy- lums, and then trained him into the very best of husbands and fathers. Here is the reader's final glimpse of this ferocious Capt. Poison of Don Pedro Antonio de Alarcon’s truly divert- ing romance—and it is obtained some four years after the terrible Captain had taken the beautiful Senorita An- gustias to wife: ‘In the middle of the room W&s s¢en &@ man on all fours upon the carpet.

Sunday, baseball player and evangelist. But it cannot, itself, be considered an acceptable biography. It was too obviously written under the eye of the man written about, and was too obviously intended chiefiy to sell at the hymn-book table—one more of the financial features, already un- pleasantly prominent, of Sunday’s cam- paigns. The name of Elijah P. Brown, editor of the Ram's Horn, and pungent protag- onist of orthodoxy, appears as author But the copyright is held in Sunday's name. There are a few descriptive o” personal passages, a story of Sunday's early life and baseball career, which 1s nt ee eet oe _ essentially autobiography, and the re- mainder of the book is a compilation of extracts from Sunday’s sermons and newspaper clippings about his meetings “A veritable Napoleon in holy war- fare,”’ the writer styles Sunday. Reply- ing to the evangelist’s critics, he does nat hesitate to quote the words of Nico- demus, ‘‘No man can do these miracles which thou doest except God be with him.” Elsewhere he tells, in the lan- guage of an old farmer, how ‘“‘he pounds his p’ints clear through you, and makes them stick out on the other side. It goes into you like chiggers.”” Many who have heard Sunday will agree that this is not an exaggerated tribute to his powers as a speaker. ‘Does he use siang?’ the writer re- peats. ‘‘Well, yes, some; but what is ~ = ome unconventional speech? The Master Himself ‘taught not as the scribes." Samples of this unconventionality are given. such as the warning to weridiy church members, ‘“‘Hell will be se full of you fellows that your feet will stica out of the windows.” (Revell.)

SATURDAY EVEN ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. (ING, MARCH é 7, 1914. ST. LOUIS POST.DISPATCH. BRIDGE PETITIONS T0 BE READY FOR SIGNERS MONDAY Copies Expected to Be Distrib- uted to All Workers in Move- ment on Tuesday. The first initiative petitions in the Citizen’s Committee's campangn to com- plete the free bridge by the Reber ap- proach route will be signed by voters Monday night. _ The ordinance on which the Initiative campaign will be based was complete by the law firm of Stewart, Bryan & Williams Saturday. The petitions, with the ordinance attached, will go ‘to the printer Saturday night or early Monday morning. The Citisens’ Committee ex- pects to have several hundred copies of the petition ready to distribute to the organizations that will have meetings Monday night. Tuesday it is expected the petitions will be distributed to all the 81 organizations enlisted in the movement to complete the bridge. Several hundred men already have volunteered to circulate the petitions in the voting precincts of the city. By the middie of the week the initiative cam- paign will be in full swing, with proba- bly more than 1000 canvassers in the field getting the signatures of voters. Another Organization Joins. The eighty-first organization joined the Citizens’ Committee’s campaign Fri- day night when the 8t. Louis Butter, Egg and Poultry Exchange indorsed the Reber approach. President J. H. Bruce said the poultrymen were ready to lay their own work aside and do a lot of scratching in the free bridge campaign. He said they were not crowing, but would not have to be egged on to do their part in the incubation of the east side approach. Many organizations will hold meetings Monday and Tuesday nights. The pe- titions will not only be signed by the members of these organizations, but the members also will enlist volunteers to eiroulate the petitions in the precinct canvass. : Widespread Interest. The Citizens’ Committee had 87 names of organizations on its list when it be- gan its campaign to fiyish the bridge. Of these 81 organizations have officially notified the committee that they have formally adopted resolutions indorsing the Reber approach. Never in the history of St. Louis, ac- eording to Chairman A. L. Shapleigh of the Citizens’. Committee, has there been such, spontaneous and widespread interest in any campaign. The organi- vations that are co-operating in the plan tu complete the bridge have more than 45,000 members. One of the interesting features of the campaign is that business men who have never before indicated a willing- ness to do active work in: civic move- ments are calling up Secretary Thomas Hy Lovelace at the committee’s head- quarters in the Business Men’s League offiées and asking him to assign them to the precinct canvasses. Many men, thinking the petitions are ready for cir- culation, are calling at headquarters | every day asking for them. The precinct books for the canvassers were prepared Saturday under the direc. tion of the Citizens’ Committee. IN SUCH PAIN WOMAN CRIED Suffered Everything Until Restored to Health by Lydia E.

Ten members of the Women’s Organi- zation for Smoke Abatement called on Mayor Kiel Friday afternoon,, accom- panied by James Gay Butler, and made a strong protest against inactivity of smoke inspectors. Mrs. E. R. Kroeger of 4483 McPherson avenue, president of the Women’ s Organization, declared that ir. eight months the entire force of eight inspectors had obtained evidence for only seven convictions. She told the Mayor she had on one day recently ob- tained enough evidence to make nine cases for violation of the law. Mrs. Kroeger suggested if the eight in- spectors tried hard enough they ought to be able to make as many cases as she did. She declared if the smoke in- spection department supported by the people’s money did not enforce the or- dinance the Women’s Organization would employ inspectors themselves and see that the anti-smoke law is enforced. Points to Hotel Smokc. Mrs. Kroeger said the present offend- ers are not the factories but apart- ment houses, hotels, residences and of- fice buildings.

WASHINGTON, March 7:—Arrange- ments for the funeral of the late George W. Vanderbilt, who died yesterday as the indirect result of an operation for appendicitis here Tuesday. are to. be announced late today, following the ar- rival of his brother, Frederick Van- derbilt, from New York. Until he has been consulted, no announcement of the plans of the family will be made. Efforts are being made to communi- cate with William K. Vanderbilt a Lrother, who is abroad. It is regarded as probable that the body will be taxen tc New York and buried on the old Van- derbilt estate at New Dorp, Staten Is- land. No intimation has been given as to the disposition of his vast fortune, esti- mated by some at $50,000,000, but it has iong been understood in art circles that the splendid collection of modern paint- ings, gathered by his father, William K. Vanderbilt, was to become the perma- nent property of the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art in New York City. Several vears ago he loaned the pictures to the museum and they have been on exhi- bition there ever since. The collection consists of 1% paintings, beught between the years 1868 and 1886, many of which now are priceless. The rem of the collection, one of the best known pictures in the world, let’s “The Sower.’’ Heart Trouble Caused Death.

Uric Acid Is Slow Poison Unseen in its approach, hard to detect in its early stages and cruelly painful in’ its later form, uric acid poisoning is a disease too often fatal. Bright’s disease is one of the final stages of uric acid poison- ing. It kills in our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two— consumption and pneu. monia. Bright’s disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kid- ney disease and uric poisoning. When uric acid is formed ‘too fast and the kidneys are weak- ened by a cold, or fever, by overwork or by overindulgences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there is headache, dizziness, heart pal- pitation and a_ dull, . heavy- on the nerve tubings.

Although seriously ill for some time Vanderbilt had sustained the operatio. and continued to show signs of improve- ment until the complications unexpect- ediy arose. Previous to their appear- ance, no alarm had been felt for his recovery and physicians said his condi- tion was improving daily. Mrs. Van- derbilt, who was formerly Miss Edith Dresser of New York, had been con- tinuously in attendance at the bedside. She was almost prostrated by ner hus- band’s sudden death. Built Town on Estate. Vanderbilt was the youngest ani probably the least known of the sons of the late William K. Vanderbilt. He never took an active part in the busi- ness and financial world where other members of the family gained wealth and distinction. He was a student an.l a traveler and his chief interest was his magnificent estate at Biltmore, near Asheville, N. C., where he spent the greater part of his time. In 188) he became interested in the wild mountain region of Western North Carolina and by successive purchases ge accumulated an estate of 100,000 acres on the French Broad River and laid out there a vast park and erected buildings on a scale which seldom has been equaled in this country. Vande?bilt de- voted most of his time to the persona! supervision of this estate. In the val- ley he built a model town and called it Biltmore. His farms were stocked with blooded stock and he devoted thousands of dollars to the scientific conservation of the forests which covered the greater part of his property. rigs on greem ALEX: I love you.

Moore, 34 years old, a monument maker of Poplar Bluff, Mo., against Dr. W. HW. Mayfield and the Mayfield Sani- tarium, $20 North Taylor avenue, was returned by a jury in Circuit Judge Withrow’s court Friday on account of the loss of plaintiff's right leg. Moore caid he entered the sanitarium in Feb- ruary, 1912, and got treatment for an injury to the bone of his leg. After be- ing discharged from the hospital, the trouble recurred and he went back. This time Dr. Mayfield amputated the mem- ber near the knee joint. Moore alleged that on the first visit to the hospital he did not reecive prop- er treatment. and because’ of this al- leged negligence, he asserted, it became necessary to cut off his leg. Dr. May- field denied negligence on his part and decMred the treatment administered in Moore’s case was the right one. He said he first treated the plaintiff when the latter was 9 years old for an injury to the same leg, received by a horse kick- ing him. ‘ This injury eventually devel- oped a diseased condition of the bone, which resulted in the loss of the leg, Dr. Mayfield said. The sanitarium company sought to escape liability in the suit on the ground that it is a charitable institu- tion andsexempt from judgment, but the jury, following the Court’s instructions, also found against it.

A few months later, I grew very much interested in the vote, so that women might be judged with justice, as well as gallantry. One of the very fine men who sits as Judge of our courts, in arguing with me against suffrage, said: MiSs BERTHA “The woman is always favored in a jury trial.

Just then a beautiful lady came through the garden and seeing the rose, she picked it and put it in the bosom of her dress. The rose nodded to the other flowers and said: ‘“‘Now I shail live forever; I am sorry for you who are not so beautiful, for this lady will keep me fresh and biooming because she ad- mires me.’’ That evening the lady put the rose in a handsome vase and put her in front of the mirror in her room. ‘“‘How beautiful I am,” said the rose, looking at herself. ‘‘My petals are soft and velvety, and my color is gorgeous.

The other flowers saw the poor rose lying faded and withered on the ground, and they laughed and sneered at her. “Thought you were to live forever?” they said. ‘“‘You who are so beautiful should be able to save yourself from fading and not wither and blow away as we shall.”’ Poor rose tried to hide in the tall grass, and at last she swooned from shame, but the wind and a few drops of rain brought her to life again.

It seemed as though the machine must tear itself to pieces, with the jarring grind of the brakes. It leaped, jerking, with the shock. The roar of the train rose to a deafening thunder, a climax of turmoil, then—it passed with a shriek into the distance, and the car stood still, unharmed, beside the tracks.

The lawyer should not file suit, as the proviso that should the son win his first suit, acts as an extender to the three years, at which time the son was to be examined, to the extent, that the son was to then win his first suit. As the son has passed the examination and was admitted to practice, he must win his suit before the agreed on cofitract with its provisor has been completed. Then it is that the $6000 becomes due the lawyer. In case the son lost his first case, there would be nothing due the lawyer. In case the son should decide not to try any cases, but to act as coun- sellor or in ways -that would be ad- visory, the contract would hold good till such time as he did try a case, and should he win this case he could be sued for a reasonable interest on the $6000 for the period between the time he was admitted to practice and the time he tried the case.

She Won the Decision. N a recent debate at the Wichita (Kan.) High School woman suffrage was under discussion. “It would be unwise to give woman the ballot,’’ declared a budding Daniel Webster. “Woman could not be relied upon to exercise good judgment in vot- ing. She changes her mind far too often.’’ The next speaker was a young lady. She arose and cast a pitying glance at her opponent, who had just left the floor. “T would like to ask my honorable opponent,” she cooed sweetly, “if he ever tried to change a woman’s mind once it was made up”’ The young lady got Wichita Eagle. the decision.— You can CO de oe = oh Oe Ke Sue Grace writes: I[- am very much in love with a man of 20.

PACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 7.—That. the Cardinals would ever own a victory ever the Athletics within six months would have been scoffed at, when last season closed with the Mackmen world’s champions and the Cards National ‘League tailenders, probably the lowliest club in major League baseball. Just the same, the Cardinals trimmed the Athletics, Friday, when the colts of Huggins beat the rookies of Mack and shut them out, 8—0, too. It was chiefly due to the good pitching of Steele,, Hop- per and Niehaus thag the victory was achieved. Shawkey and Pennock were two of the Athletics’ flingers, at that; but they, with Boardman, weré slammed for 13 hits while the Card twirlers netted but 3. Big Bill Steele's work is the particu- larly pleasing feature of the Cardinals’ work. Steele has recovered completely from the ailment which ruined his work last year. Yesterday he let the Athletics down with one hit in four innings. George Whitted, while not a ‘‘colt,”’ was in the lineup, as were Dolan and Butler, both possible regulars. For the Athletics McInnis and Davis alternated at first base, being the only regulars to compete outside the pitchers. Big Day for Whitted. Whitted signalized his appearance by making four hits in four times up. The Cards played no favorites and battered all three pitchers. Shawkey was pound- ed for six hits in his term of office and the other two were. batted almost as hard. Miller, the Cardinal right flelder, had his eye on the ball, getting three safe- ties.

It is self-evident to all of us that a boy of 15 or 16 should be giving his attention to his educational studies and thinking of something other than winning billiard titles.

The salary Tris Speaker is to receive from the Boston American club today was the subject of much speculation. It ig understood that Speaker’s con- tract calls for an annual salary of $16,000 or $18,000, and in addition to this he got a $5000 bonus for signinc. Before signing a Red Sox contract Speaker listened to the Federal offers, but demanded a five-year contract in- stead of three years.

The National League meeting resulted in no decision with regard to the Chicago- Boston club deal for’ the services of Johnuy Evers and in finding a new owner of the Chicago Cubs. After two lengthy sessions the body of directors announced that the final settlement of the Evers trade had been left to the president. As the situation ‘how stands, Evers, Sweeney and Purdue are all the property of the Boston club. Charles P.

The stock lost 3% points in the London market before Wall street trading commenced. The break in St. Paul was not ma- terlally reflected in the general mar- ket, but some of the specialties and minor railroad shares scored losses. Trading was largely professional. In the late market, however, selling developed and final prices showed rather wide losses. The Wall! street summary said: ‘‘Presi- dent Earling of St. Paul issues explana- tion of charges by Interstate Commerce Commission of irregularity in account- ing of company. “Director of traffic of Union Pacific says prosperity and great crops in West. ‘“‘New Haven directors decide to make Government until road. “Western Union to offer 2500 shares ‘of its stock to employes at 60, and 10,009 | shares at .63. “Equitable Life begins suit to enjoin proposed Union Pacific distribution to holders of common stock. “Net operating revenues per mile of railroads in United States in 1913 were 4-10 per cent smaller than in 1912. “Failures this week, 266, against 269 last week.

Theatrical Press Agent In- terrupts Sale of an Eton Suit and Little Willie Gets a Respite. née, GARR faltered between ths Eton suit and the costume of the juvenile young Scot, de- spite’ Master Willie Jarr's »rotest against either. Mr. Floss, the floorwalker, asked Mrs. carr to ‘feel of the goods.” “Why,’ remarked Mrs. Moubiless she spoke as she felt, all wool!’ (Yes, and not only this, but women can open purses and with gloved fin- gers can separate, by feeling, dimes “rom pennies, cloth from paper, pow- der puff from handkerchief.) ‘“And remember,” said Mr. Ferdi- mand Floss, as Mrs. Jarr’s gloved fingers felt the cloth, “remember the words of Byron: “*When I roved a young Highlander And climbed thy steep summit, oh ' Morven of snow!” But Master Jarr emitted a dreadful esuawk that knocked all the Byronic “ervor out of the poetic floorwalker. “I. won't wear them skoits! / won't wear them skoits!”’ yelped Mas. ter Willie. “Skoits? Oh, where does he get such a pronunciation?’ whimpered his mother. “And they are not skoits, Willie; they are kilts” “They are skoits, accordeon pleated skoits!”” rhoaned the lad, still, in his grief, abiding by the vernacular of his boyish associates. “Izzy Slavin- sky’s sister Becky has a dress just like it, and I heard her mommer tel] Mrs. Hepler it was an accordcon pleated .skoit.” Mr. Floss, the floorwalker, Wlushed with conscious guilt. It had been he who had suggested to the head of iie children’s readymade clothing depari- ment that a consignment of little girl's plaid pleated skirts might be made over into boys’ highland costumes. This ha been hailed as a master stroke of genius, as the little plaid skirts had been “stickers” that had caused the com- mercial death of the buyer responsible for their purchase—that is, he had been demoted to the tinware aisle in the basement, never again, perhaps, to min- gle with the charge-account trade. Mr. Floss hastily handed the ‘‘assem- bled” Highland costume to the nearest clerk and again pressed the Eton suit (from the exclusive London shop of Tardoctor & Blewbugle, Strand, off Pi-- adilly Circus, top of Wardour street, W.
