Jones, he Said, took Bridget Mansfield, a club em- ploye, into Nugent's and thén to Father bempsey’s ‘Home. Bridget, he said, es- caped in his party. Magill said he paSsed through the din- ing room at 11:40 or 1%: and saw that six men were in there. He said he did not see any women in the dining room. He retired, he said, about 12:35. Found Dining Room Ablaze. Joe Spezia, the scrubman, testified, re- lating the same story as was printed ex- clusively in the Post-Dispatch last Fri- day. He said he was certain the fire did not start in the kitchen, where he was at work. Looking through a hole in the door, he said, he saw the ‘‘whole dining room was in flames.”” He said no one else was in the kitchen, that the gas stove had been turned cff and the char- coal fire was nearly out. He went down the freight elevator to the lobby, he said, where he spread the alarm. He said that while in the lobby he saw Josephine Leonard, the pantry girl, run- ‘ning downstairs in her bare feet. He gaid Josie worked until midnight and had been ill that night. Mrs. Bertha Magill, wife of Manager Magill, had her left arm in a bandage auwhen she was called as a witness. Her arm was broken a short time before the fire, and she carried it in a sling when ‘she ran through the halls of the club beating on the doors and warning the guests that the building was on fire. The Magills are living at 4618 Tower Grove place. _ John Mattick, captain of the waiters at the M. A. C., testified he left the club at 1:20 a. m. and that nobody was in the dining room at that time. Every- thing appeared to be in good order, he said, and there was no smell of gas. Other witnesses were Joseph B. Mc- Glynn of 140 North Main street, East St. Louis: John N. Verdin, Mortimer B Levy, members of the club; Frank Osner of 4859 North Market street, the head waiter: Josephine Leonard, the pantry cirl; George D. Williams, night clerk at the St. Regis Hotel; S.

HUNICKES Last of Victims Believed to Have Been Taken From M. A. C. Fire Ruins. HAMMER IS RECOVERED Six at Morgue Not Recognizable —Chasnoff, Hancock and Shyne Identified. ‘The thirtieth, which is also believed to be the last, of the bodies of victims in the Missouri Athletic Club fire, was taken. by workmen Monday morning from the ruins of the Boatmen’s Bank Building. The body, which had been un- der tons of wreckage on the first floor of the annex, in the rear, was identified by a pocketbook found in the clothing, as that of William A. Hunick, 39 years old, a civil engineer for the Mis- souri Pacific. The twenty-ninth body, recovered from the ruins Sunday, was identified Mon- Gay by Drs. Max Stone and Amos Lew- is, dentists, as that of Marx Hammer, president of the Neusteter Cloak and Suit Co. J. B. Bolind and W. B. Eise- man of Neusteter’s concurred in the dentists’ finding, and J. L. Hyman of Fhiladelphia recognized a scar on the bcdy from a Surgical operation. Hyman took charge of the body, and will take it to Hammer's parents in Philadelphia. The body of Thomas B. Shyne, type- writer salesman, was identified at the Morgue by Dr. J. E. Meters, dentist, and Shyne’s father and brother, from Syra- cuse, N. Y., concurred in the identifi- cation and took charge of the body. Six Unidentified Bodies. These identifications left six unidenti- fied bodies in the Morgue, which it may not be possible to distinguish individ- ually. Plans for a non-sectarian pub- lic funeral are being made by the club’s Rescue and Relief Committee, of which J. N. Verdin is chairman. The committee considered its work at the ruins practically ended with the finding of the thirtieth body, but one member was left on duty for any possible development. Building Com- missioner McKelvey kept his force of 200 men digging into the wreckage, determined to make sure that no more bodies are there. When he has established this to his satisfaction, he will begin demolishing the walls. Hunicke’s body was extricated from the wreckage an hour and a half after it was found and identi- fied by the pocketbook. The place in which it was found caused the belief that Hunicke, partly dressed, jumped to the roof of the annex and was caught in the collapse. The Hunicke identification was con- firmed at the morgue by. Hunicke’s brother-in-law, Emil Hammerstein of 3002 Henrietta street. The face was readily recognizable. Three More Bodies Found. The twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth bodies were taken Sunday from the ruins. By the use of dental charts two of them were identified as the bodies of J. E. Chasnoff, manager of advertising promotion for the Re- public, and Allen R. Hancock of 4141 Cook avenue, salesman for the Under- wood Typewriter Co. The third was the one identified Monday ag Hammer’s. The body of D. E. Fitzgerald, identi- fied Saturday night, was taken to Springfield, Mo., on the Frisco train leaving Union Station at 2:30 p. m. Sun- day. E. D. Levy, general manager of the Frisco, lent his private car for this purpose, and the locomotive and tender were draped in black. The funeral was set for Monday afternoon, Elks Conduct Crouch Funeral. The funeral of Burt Crouch, sales manager for the Western Electric Co., was held in the Wagoner Undertaking establishment Sunday afternoon. The funeral of Frank W. Albright, salesman for the Rice-Stix:Dry Goods Co., was held Sunday at La Porte, Ind. Allen R, Hamncock’s funeral will be held at 2 p. m.

AS & consequence, a nuni- ber of society people are changing their summer plans in the expectation that they will be invited to the wedding. There will probably be a larger num- ber of residents of Washington invited to this second wedding in the Wilson family. When the President’s other daughter was married the President and his family had been in Washington but a short time and during the greater part of that period Miss Jessie Wilson had been absent from Washington. On the other hand, Miss Eleanor Wilson has devoted more time to social activi- ties than any other member of the household and Secretary McAdoo, too, has been a frequent guest at the homes of the residential circle of Washington society. Consequently, the outlook for wedding cards is much brighter than it was last fall. One person in Washing- ton who received a wedding card last fall to the Wilson-Sayre wedding, has had it framed and hung in her library. She is already arranging a proper space for a second wedding card. That woman's confidence in Eleanor Willson’s determination to have a large wedding represents the feelings of ev- eryone who is wel] acquainted with the President's youngest daughter. She is a real true girl in every sense of the word and admits that she loves weddings with fuss and feathers and intends to have one. ,“ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY. * j “AGTOIDS” Cure POST-DISPATCH.

OLYMPIC THEATER AND HOTELS ARE TO BE INSPECTED Building Commissioner McKel-| vey Declares Mercantile Houses Also Will Be Examined. An immediate inspection of the Olym- pic Theater, of mercantile buildings and hotels, in the interest of a asfety cam- paign, was decided upon Monday by Building Commissioner, McKelvey, fol- lowing reports of Fire Department of- ficials on the Olympic Theater and the Buckingham Hotel Annex. Attorney John E. Bowcock, acting for McKelvey, arranged for a visit to the Olympic Theater Monday afternoon by a committee consisting of Fire Chief Swingley, H. C. Henley, chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau, and Otto J. Krieg, plan examiner of the building de- partment. Bowcock said the inspection would be a thorough one. Could Revoke License, Bowcock was not ready to say wheth- er the inquiry would be extended to in- clude other theaters, but said it was likely such theaters as are not first- class, modern buildings would be in- spected. In case of a theater which ts found to be in violation of the building ordi- nances, he said, the department woukil give a three-days’ notice to the propri- etors to show cause why the building commissioner’s certificate to the license collector should not be revoked. If a satisfactory showing was not made, the eertificate would be revoked, and it would become the License Collector’s duty to revoke the theater’s license. In the case of mercantile buildings. Bowcock said, the investigation will be made for the purpose of determining whether the strainways are built to con- form with the ordinances. It was also announced that the base- ments of hotels and, mercantile build- ings would be inspected, to see if rub- bish was stored there, as was found by Fire Department inspectors to be the case at the Buckingham Annex. In the case of the Buckingham Annex, it was decided not to make a new in- vestigation, but to send the management a notice to clean up the basement im- mediately, under an ordinance which became effective Jan. 31, fixing a pen- alty for the storing of rubbish in the basement of any building. Bowcock, speaking for McKelvey, who was busy at the M. A. C. ruins, said the commissioner was determined to en- force the law rigidly.

Haas and Friends Say Only Several Employes Were There When They Went. THEY SMELLED NO GAS Haas and Ackerman Took Room at Club and Escaped Down Rear Stairway. Members of the last party of guests which left the Missouri Athletic Club dining room before the fire last Monday morning told a Post-Dispatch reporter last night of the conditions there as the party broke up, shortly after 1 a. m. It was in the dining room that the fire was first seen, as related hitherto in the Post-Dispatch by Joseph Spezia, scrubman. Those in the party were Harry §&. Haas, assistant manager of the Crown Millinery Co., residing at 6244 Water- man avenue; Lester P. Ackerman, sales- man of the Missouri Feather Co., re- siding at 5575 Waterman avenue; Sydney Goldberg, buyer for the Levis-Zukoski Millinery Co., and Raymond Goldberg, salesman for the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Co., residing at 4361 Maryland avenue, Ben Gross and a salesman named Lip- chitz, both of New York, staying at the Hotel Jefferson. The party attended the theater Sun- day night, after which they walked to the M. A. C. It was between 11:3 an: 12 o’clock, Haas said, when they reached the dining room. As he remembers the surroundings, there were only three other. parties in the dining room at the time, two men and two women, each in two of the parties and one couple in the other. Couple Sat in Corner. Haas and his friends occupied a large round table which stood about midway from the Fourth and Washington ave- nue corner of the third floor and the elevator entrance, which was diagonally opposite that corner. The couple was sitting against the curved wall of the corner and the other two parties were near their table.* avenue side of the dining room were lit, according to Haas, and the others and as each preceding party departed a waiter or other employe of the club would turn out the lights above the table that had been occupied. Haas’ recollection is that one party of four departed from the dining room about 12:30 o'clock, the other party of four about 1 o’clock and the couple about 1 or 1:6. He also remembers that the waiter or employe who turned out the lights above the tables, two or three times accident- ally turned out the cluster of lights above the table his party occupied. When he and his friends departed, Haas said, there were one or two waiters, or one waiter and two or three bus boys moving about the dining room, and only a few lights near their table were lit. The Haas party broke up about 1:10, when one of his friends pulled out his watch and remarked it was past 1 o’clock, Haas and the Goldberg brothers agree that save for the lights above their table and possibly a few others in the southeast corner of the room, the dining hall was not lighted. Haas and Sidney Goldberg said they could see well enough, however, to know that the mem- bers of their party and the waiters and bus boys were the only ones in the din- ing room at the time. They all said they smelled no smoke or gas, or saw anything to indicate that the dining room was in anything tut its norma! condition. Haas and the Goldbergs said that members of their party had been smoking, but tifey were positiva they threw the cigarette and cigar stumps only in the ash trays and dishes on the table. Haas and Ackerman Got Room. The six friends rode down the ele- vator, and, at Ackerman’s suggestion, because of the late hour, Haas and Ackerman decided to remain at the club all night. After bidding the others good night, Haas and Acker- man signed for a room and went up the elevator to the fourth floor. They were assigned to a room on the Fourth street side, about midway be- tween Washington avenue and the north end of the building. As they stepped off the elevator, Haas said, they met Harry Davisson, the club’s night watchman. He in- quired what they (Haas and Acker- man) were @oing there so late and they replied they intended sleeping there. After entering the room, Haas said, he suggested that Ackerman raise the ehades so that they would not over- sleep. After they had chatted about fifteen minutes, Haas said, he half dozed, and after what he judged to be about 15 minutes, was swakened by Ackerman. They ran to the win- dow and saw the reflection of flames in the Shapleigh Hardware Co. win- dows. After partly dressing they went into the hall and met another man. They ran to the rear eleva- tor shaft, and after pounding on the door, Haas opened a window to the right of the shaft. Smoke was com- ing up and closed it. Then Ack- erman opened a window to the left of the shaft and they could see a roof about 10 feet away. Haas re- turned to the first window and on opening it saw that the smoke wasn't as dense at at first. This window led to the inclosed inside fire escape and they ran down the steps. At the bottom, a door, leading into the auditor's offices was cicsed, but not locked. They went through the office into the lobby and on to Wash- ington avenue. man had signed for @ room and were walking from the desk to the eleva- a woman, who was sitting alone in Only the lights near the Washington } * Haas said that after he ahd Acker- tor he called Ackerman's attention to / the ladies’ reception room on the first fom : Semeeeeeeemmmmamnell White Enameled Bedroom Furnitwre Is Shown In Great Variety eT 2 Pim x4 #- . . v\\ ¥ eS ~ \ -_ ——_ ‘= - = — _ This week we are featuring in our Furniture Department many new and handsome of White-Enameled Bedroom Furniture.

* OT. LUVIS PUS:-DISPATUH. - Part of Gross Revenue. Paid Without’ Consideration of _MEPRECIATION FUND USE State Utilities Commission Ob- tains Testimony Money Goes to New Construction. Relatibns of the Southwestern Tele- graph 4nd Telephone Co. (Bell) of Mis- gouri the American Telephone and Tele h ‘Co., and details of the local company’s accounting systems, Were gone into in great detail Monday at tho Missouri Public Utilities Commission's hearing on the company’s application for permission to raise rates in St. Louis. he commission suspended the com- . & tariff filed in November until it ula determine whether the company @as entitled to the increase. Facts Brought Out. Crogs-examining James K. Wass, gfen- eral‘auditor of the company, Chairman _ Atkinson and Commissioners Woerner and Shaw brought out that: The stock of the Southwestern ph and Telephone Co. of Mis- fsourl is owned by the Southwestern ph and Telephone Co. of New ork, tlie stock of which is owned by e American Telegraph and Tele- phone Co. 5% The local company pays the A. : tr. and T. Co., 4"¢ per cent of its gross revenue without consideration of the service performed for (he money, and that the 4% per cent is an arbitrary charge for the use of telephone in- struments and for legal, accounting, engineering and clerical advice. 8. Notwithstanding this expendi- ture, the local company maintains expensive legal, accounting, engi- neering and clerical departments. ‘Although the company’s books show it has an accrued depreciation account of $758,603, it has used the depreciation fund for new construc- tion, and owes the fund that amount of money. Change in Company Name. Chairman Atkinson asked Wass why the company changed its name a year ago from the Bell Telephone Co. of Mis- souri to the Southwestern Telegraph and *elephioone Co. of Missouri, when there efready was a Southwestern Telegraph end Telephone Co. of New York, which owned its stock. Alkinson asked if there was any varticular reason for hav- ing two. empanies with exactly the same ndme. Wass said he did not know the reagon, and that he had advised against it. He said the directors of the two com- panies, he thougift, were the same. Commissioner Shaw developed from the witness that it was the custom of the company to borrow money for new construction and then issue capital stock for the amount borrowed. Wass then testified that the deprecia- tion fund was not In money, and that it had been used for new construction. Depreciation Fund Use. Chairman Atkinson said: “The public is interested in knowing @f this $758,603 of accrued depreciation 4s im cash in bank, earning 8 or 4 per cent, which would affect the rates the public has to pay just that much.” Wass sald that if the company had y@ used the depreciation fund, it would ave had to borrow money for construc- tion and pay probably 5 per cent for it. Waes said that the plant valuation was $10,847,673 and that considered the property at 100 per cent valuation. He paid property was not depreciated on the books until it reached a condition where it had to be discarded, and that then it was marked off the books. Wass testified that a portion of the {nterested capital of the company may represent current repairs, and may not properly be included in capital invested. He gave no estimate -of what the @mount might be. 8. H. Harris, general counsel for the company, told the commission that the company -was not prepared to go into -@etails of either the engineering or finan- cial condition of the company. The en- gineers and accountants are still at work, he said, and he was unable to say when the company would be ready. ; Tella History of Company. Wass was the first witness, testifying to the history of the company. He said that the Bell Telephone Co. of Missouri was organized in 1879, with a capital ‘stock of $400,000, which was represented by the then existing telephone property in St. Louis, which was owned by the American District Telegraph Co. Five men, whose names he said he could not give, obtained all of the stock. He admitted that in all probability the £400,000 was not the value of the proper- ty turned in for the capital stock, be- cause, he said, a short time later they returned to the company $100,000 of stock which later was sold for cash for the company. In 1898, he said, the capital stock had increased to $991,000, and in 1913 to §$10,- 000,000. In addition to the capital, he said, the company had obligations which went to capital of $2,250,000, making the capital obligation now $12,500,000. What Territory Embraces, In 1910, he said, the company had ‘n operation in St. Louis and elsewhere in its territory 8731 telephones; 12,111 in 1902; - Ie lacking In vitality, poo we weak and an. ot bly proper (nourish - and ane must be . p and vitalized by PARI 3 ere: -;and 1912, 4 per cent, and 1913, g pefcent.

OFFICE 1S BURNED, NEAR MEXICO LINE Posse Pursues Bandits, Said to Have Been Mexicans, Who Killed U. S. Official. SAN DIEGO, Cal., March 16.—Bitter feeling caused by the killing Saturday right of Frank V. Johnston, postmaster at Tecate, near the Mexican border, and the burning of the United States customs office and postoffice by ban- dits, continued today. Secretary of State Bryan and Gov. Hiram W. Johnson of California hava been asked by relatives of the dea‘ man to investigate. According to in- formation received here, three bandits, said to have been Mexicans, shot John- ston through the heart when he re- fused to give them the combination of his safe. A posse began pursuit of the bandits. 16,301 in 1903, and 85,817 in 1913. The com- pany’s territory includes the eastern half of Missouri and three counties in Illinois. Wass said the capital investment of the company was $10,847,678, divided as follows: St. Louis proper, $8,209,706.93; East St. Louis, $663,459.83; Clayton, $37,- 427.79; Tri-Cities, $58,892.11, and else- where in Missouri, $1,883,187. Wass said that 10 or nine years ago the records were in such shape that expenses incurrédd by making repairs may have been included in the cost of new plant. This, he’ said, would’ not be proper, | and that if it was done, the plant value as shown by the books would be too high. After Wass had completed his di- rect examination, Chairman Atkinson questioned him in detail. In response to Atkinson's questions as to the source of the $2,500,000 obliga- tions which later had been added to the capital obligation, Wass said tha company borrowed it from St. Louis persons, from the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., and from the subsi- diary of the A. T. & T., doing business in Arkansas. Vepreciation Nearly $2,000,000, Wass said the property during the life of the company had depreciated between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. He said he could not tell the amount whieh had been expended for renewals. The depreciation account in December, 1913, was $758,608. He said he could not give an accurate statement of what the average annual depreciation could be. Chairman Atkinson attempted to get Wass to say what per cent of'the plant value should be set astde, but Wass would not do so. Atkinson sald that tn a telephone case in Nebraska the average depreciation was 6 per cent and the current main- tenance 3 per cent, making a total of 9 per cent for maintaining a_ telephone plant. Wass said he thought § per cent would be too low. The stock ot the Southwestern Tele- graph and Telephone Co. is owned by the American Telephone and Telegrapn Co., he said. The dividends paid by the St. Louls company (Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Co. of Missouri) and its pred- ecessor, the Bell Telephone Co. of Mis- souri have been: 1881, 10 per cent; 1882 to 1887, 12 per cent; 1888, 6 per cent: 1889 to 1887, 12 per cent; 1898, 10 per cent; 1899 to 1908, 8 per cont; 1910, 6 per cent; 1911 ren | —— ee DEAR PAT: Sure I'li ma ypyomei now—today.

FARTHOUAKE AND VOLCANO IN JAPAN One Town Destroyed, Another Wrecked and Mine Collapses Burying 300 Workmen. TOKIO, March 16.—Fear that hundreds have perished in the earthquake at Akita and Kowakubi and as a result of the eruption of the volcano Asama-Yama, were expressed here today. The bodies of 60 persons have been re- covered from the basin of the Omono River, where 320 houses were destroyed. Many houses were destroyed in both Akita and Kowakubi and it is known that some of the occupants perished. The village of Kitameno has been burned, but the number of lives lost there was not reported. Fears are expressed for 300 workmen who were in a copper mine at Tsunm- dato. It js known that the mine col- lapsed and it is believed that few of those inside could have survived. Simultaneous with the earthquake came terrific explosions and the bursting of flames from the volcano Asama- Yama, which terrified the mhabitants of that district. Akita is a garrison town on the Sea of Japan, and has a population of about 20,000. Asama-Yama is the largest active vol- cano in Japan. Its last great eruption was in 1783, when several villages on the north side of the mountain were oblit- erated by huge streams of lava. Cleveland Seismograph Reeords 40- Minute Earthquake.

This waste sends its poisons into the system, through the blood circulation, and brings on count- less ills. That’s the reason a Physician’s first step in illness is to give a lax- ative. Physicians generally, in order to stop this accumulation of waste, are now advising the use of the ‘‘J. B. L. Cascade.’’ Nature’s Cure for Con- stipation, which rids the lower intes- tine of all waste and keeps it healthy without drugging.

The trial of E. Fred Gerold, former Treasurer of East St. Louis, who charged with withholding funds from the city, was resumed in the East St. Louis City Court Monday morning. Evidence was offered to show that in- terest bearing coupons on bonds issued for the improvement of Fifteenth street between Broadway and Bond avenue, had been overpaid $130. H. G. Ambrose, an expert accountant, who examined the records of the Treasurer's oftice, testi- fied that when the coupons were brought in and paid, some of them were not can- celled. The total amount of the interest on the Fifteenth street coupons was $2450, he said, whereas $2580 had been paid. The difference was shown on Ger- old’s records, he testified, as a credit of $130.

Deputy Marshal McKenna, who be- longs to the Western District of Mis- sourl with headquarters at Jefferson City, said that just before they reached Kirkwood he removed the handcuffs from his prisoner and allowed him to go back to the lavatory. He thinks Ra- der escaped when the train stopped at Kirkwood. Rader was convicted of robbing a gro- cery store at Iron Mountain, Mo., May 5, 1911, and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.

OAKVALE, Miss., March 16.—Miss3 Clara Polk, the 19-year-old girl who was shot to death early yesterday in the street by Dr. John J. Stringer, 42 years old, who ended his own life, wags at- tired in boy’s clothing and is believed to have attempted to elude her married ‘admirer in that disguise. She was armed with an automatic pistol and although there was no evidence she attempted to use it, a bullet through her hand shows she tried to wrest his pistol from him. The girl’s body was clad in coat and trousers which belonged to her brother. She lay face downward in the road. Crumpled under her body, powder burned and shattered, was her right hand, showing she had made a final struggle for life as she fought for the revolver. Shot Through Heart. Both shots that entered her body were fired at close range and either could have produced death. One entered her heart after passing through her hand. The other pentrated the lung and lodged in the spine. Scarcely 4 feet away, and slightly off the road, was the body of the physician. There was a wound in the temple and his face was powder burned. His hand still clutched a revolver with the three cartridges discharged. An autopsy later recovered the bullets which were of the same caliber as the revolver. Stole FrOm Home to Visit Him. A Coroner’s jury late last night de- cided the doctor had killed the girl ani then ended his own life. This verdict was returned after am investigation had revealed that for six months Miss Polk had been stealing from her home, and visiting Dr. Stringer in his office. Dr. Stringer went to New Orleans early last week and returned Saturday. In his absence his wife, who had be- come suspicious, interviewed Miss Polk, who denied any relation with Dr. String- er other than casual friendship. It also was brought out that Dr. Stringer re- cently had become jealous of Miss Polk. Father Hears Shots. At 10 o'clock Saturday night, James K. Polk, father of the girl, heard shots, but did not pay particular attention to them. The girl’s family believed her to be asleep in her room, to which she had re- tired early. One version of the shooting is that Mrs. Stringer had warned Miss Page not to permit Dr. Stringer to pay at- tentions to her and that she had ar- ranged to go away with an old suitor. It was said by some that she was on the way to a train to join this suitor when she was overtaken and killed by the physician. Miss Polk was related to one of the leading families of South Mississippi. Dr. Stringer had practiced medicine tn Oakvale for 2 years. He is survived by a widow and several children.

Pupils of the Cote Brilliante School, Cora and Kennerly avenues, have pre- pared themselves for the Pageant and Masque of St. Louis, to be held in For- deal about the early history of St. Louis, which the pageant is to repre- sent. The things which thé children have learned most about, thus far, are the Piasa bird legend and the -Mound Builders. Later they will take up his- toric events, in the order currence. Miss Lillie Ernst, principal, tried the experiment of using the pageant his- torical subjects in English composition work, and found that the _ children showed a great increase in their in- terest in this branch of study. In the classroom work, the children wrote compositions on historical and legendary subjects, and some of these compositions, without corrections editing, were printed last week in the form of a school paper, the ‘“‘Cote Bril- liante Clippings.”’ Child, Etght, Writes Legend. Edna Rankin, 8 vears old, a _ third- vrade pupil, wrote about “The Piasau Bird,’’ as follows: “Once there was a great bird. Its name was the Piasau Bird. It carried uway many people. It was a fearful! bird. There was a chief named Ona- loga, and he was so sad because nearly all of his people were eaten up by this fearful beast. “One night when Onatoga went to sleep he could not sleep. It worried him so that he could not think of anything else. The great spirit said ‘Do not be afraid. Call # of the bravest warriors and hand them each a bow and an ar- row that was dipped in the poison of a snake. Then you face the (fearful beast.’ Then Onatoga began to sing his death song like Indians do before they die. Then the bird started to grab On- atoga and just then the 20 warriors be- gan to shoot. “Then the Piasau Bird fell to the ground and died in a minute or two. Why Onatoga did not get stolen by the bird was hecause the great spirit thought that Onatoga was brave and loved his people so that he would not let him get pee: ‘Then the men carved the picture of the Piasau Bird in the rocks and they are near the’ Mississippi River. And when the children would see the picture of the Piasau Bird they would not know what it was a picture of. Their father told them all about this bird and how he ate people and everything else about him, and many years after you could see the picture of the Piasau Bird. Maybe the picture is there yet.” Boy Tells of History Quest. James Gray, 13 years old, of the sev- enth grade, wrote about “‘A Quest for Old St. Louis History,’’ and related that after visiting the Southern Hotel and the courthouse, ‘‘we went to the Post- Dispatch, the largest paper in St. Louis. We saw the large press that prints the papers, and the press worked by hand, used when the Post-Dispatch first went into business. This prgss printed 50 pa- pers an hour. We tfien went to the fourth floor, where the men make print out of photographs.” Walter Backland, 13, grade, writing about Builders,’”’ said in part: “They must have had a good govern- of the seventh “The Mound even. That shows that someone had told how to make them, who knew his husiness. “The mound builders must have had an emence population, thew were made bv hand. off or were killed by other Indians. mounds were two thousand vears and no white people lived in America at that time.’’ Others whose essays were published were JT.ouis Friedman, Thelma Herrin.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—A majori- ty of the Democrats who propose to vote \against a repeal of the exemption clause ir’ the Panama Canal law represent dis- tricts on the coast lines where the ship subsidy interests are supreme, or in- terior districts which wceuld hope to ben- efit commercially from a subsidy. A vote on the measure is expected early next week. The Post-Dispatch correspondent has made a careful poll of the House and the results show that strong arguments are being used on Democrats to induce them to forsake the administration and vote with the ship subsidy interests marshalled by Lewis Nixon. Members on the coast and Gulf of Mexico are be- ing threatened with defeat unless they vote with the ship owners, and an at- tempt is being made to awaken a strong anti-British sentiment by striving to arouse racial antipathies in members of Irish extraction or lineage. Irish Vote Used as Club, Threats have been made that every Irishman will vote against the-members who dare to uphold the treaty with Great Britain. There are 45 men with Celtic names in the House. In spite of this, House leaders are convinced the President will be supported on roll call by a majority that will run from 75 te 125. Of the 16 members from Massachu- setts, where the shipping interests are predominant, but two will support the administration. Representatives Andrew J. Peters and Thomas C. Thacher of Yarmouth, both Democrats, have re: fused to oppose the repeal. All the other Democrats will vote with position to the repeal. setts, who propose to forsake the a:- ministration, are M. F. Phelan, J. J. Mitchel and F. S. Dittrick. All the Re- publicans will vote against repeal. Rhode Island Split Evenly. The Democratic delegation from Rhode Island is split evenly. Peter Goe- let Gerry will support the administra- tion and George F. O'Shaughnessy will vote for those who had hoped to make Rhode Island a shipping cente: if they were assisted by free tolls. New Hampshire, with its shipping center at Portsmouth, is represented by two Democrats. R, B. Stevens, who represents the interior, will support the President. HK. E. Reed, from the Man- chester district, is undecided. If Representative John J. Fitzgerald of New York, chairman of the House Committee orm Appropriations, will give the word, the entire Democratic rep- resentation. on the New York deiega- tion would line up behind the Presi- dent; but Fitzgerald has announced he will vote against the President. y Notwithstanding the efforts of Nixon’s New York shipbuilding company at Camden, every Democrat from New Jersey has promised to support Presi- dent Wilson. William J. Browning, the only Republican from New Jersey, who represents Camden, the home of Nixon's Shipbuilding plant, will vote against the repeal. One Pennsylvania Disaster. After many weeks’ effort, the admin- istration whips finally have won over every Democrat from Pennsylvania, ex- cept Michael Donohoe, who represents a section of Philadelphia. The greatest single force in his section is the Cramps Shipbuilding Co. The Maryland delegation, which voted solidly in favor of the exemption, when the bill was passed in 1912, has come over to the President in a body. The North Carolina delegation stands ‘nine to one in favor of the repeal. The only member who proposes to oppose the President is Representative Claude Kitchen, who hopes to succeed Oscar W. Underwoed as House leader. Six of the seven members from South Carolina will vote with the President. The only bolter is Representative Rags- dale. The entire Georgia delegation swung into line behind the President. The Florida delegation is split. Frank Clark will vote with the subsidists. It is probable Representative Sparkman will do the same. With the exception of Representative Oscar Underwood, who has announcel he will vote against the repeal, and Rep- resentative Richmond P. Hobson, who is expected to do the same, the Alabama delegation will support the President. The Louisiana delegation, representing a Gulf State, is expected to be split, but most of the members have announced they will vote against the President. Texas Supports President. The entire Texas delegation has been brought back to the party lines and will support the administration. With the exception of Representative has ee ais A. Kent, who has fought for repeal, and buy that Californie ce : 2 Write to C, L. Seagraves, almost the entire delegation from Cali- fornia will vote against it. The excep- tion possibly is Representative Church, who is undecided. The delegation from Oregon, where shipping interests are In the ascendency, will vote against the repeal. The State of Washington will cast a similar vote. The same peculiar geographical line- up is shown in the case of several Dem- ocratic Senators. Mr. O’Gorman of New York is expected to make a strenuous fight against the measure. Mr., Martine of New Jersey, representing the State where Lewis Nixon's New York Ship- building Co. has its great plant, has an- nounced he propeses to fight the admin- istration on the tolls question. It is the first time any power has been sufficient- ly great to alienate Martine from Presi- dent Wilson. Louisiana for Subsidy. Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, like his colleagues in the House from the Gulf State, will vote with subsidy interests.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. _ OF MEN | WHO IED NYE | Mal D AT BILLION New York State Comptroller Be- gins Tabulation of Wealth Left Since Jan. 1, 1913. a NEW YORK, March 16—With the th last week of George W. Vander- tit, George Westinghouse and John L. Cadwallader, officials in the State Comp- trolier’s office in this city began a tabu- ,2tion today of the wealth left by the large number of prominent New York men who have died since Jan. 1, 1913. It is estimated that the total amount of wealth passed on to the next generation by the death of these men is more than $1,000,000, 000. The State Comptroller at Albany re- ports that for the year ending last Sep- tember the total amount of revenue col- Jected by the State from inheritance tax R®mounted to $12,724,236. The amount to praised is believed to be much larger. Many Men of Great Wealth Dead. Never before in the history of this country, it is said, have so many men of wealth and power died in such a short period. Included in the list are such names as J. Pierpont Morgan; Anthony N. Brady, Benjamin Altman, Charles E. Appleby, George A. Hearn, Henry M. Flagler and Isaac V. Brokaw. The tax on the Brady estate, paid re- cently in advance, on appraisal, in order to get a discount on the-regular per- centage, was $2,584,000, which is on an estimated valuation of $75,000,000. The Morgan estate had paid an ad- vance tax of $2,500,000 on an estimated total valuation of $65,000,000, exclusive of works of art, which have been valued at more than $50,000,000. George W. Vander- bilt is supposed to have left $50,000,v00. Attorneys for the estate are working on an estimate of the fortune to be made to the State Controller. Astor Tax Biggest Ever Paid. The largest inheritance tax which has been paid since the enactmént of the law was that of $3,150,000 on the $87,000,000 estate of the late Col. John Jacob As- tor. Previous to that, the estate of John S. Kennedy, valued at $67,000,000, hela the record. Benjamin Altman, George A, Hearn, Isaac V. Brokaw and Isidor Straus, mer- chants, are some of the men whose es- tates are now being adjusted by the Comptroller. Altman left his art works, ————— : heered.

The” estate of Isaac V. Brokaw is estimated at $5,- 000,000 and a valuation of $4,427,608 was placed on the estate of Isidor Straus. Flagler left an estate of $6,000,000... Other large estates settled in 1912 are those of D. O. Mills, who left about $10,- 000,000; Edwin Hawley, valued at $9,- 740,000, less debts of about $4,900,000, and James R. Keene, which is e@fimated at £20, 000,000. Week to Be Celebrated by St. Louis Drugagista. Vinol week has been set for March 14. Few persons may recall. what the Vinol Fraternity is. It is an organization of druggists in the United States, Canada, Cuba and even in South America. When- eyer a date has been decided upon for Vinol week, all druggists who are mem- bers of the fraternity make special ef- forts for displaying their Wares in the show windows. Something is always given away to the public—such as cook books, etc. This year the book to be given away by the Vinol Fraternity is on ‘Good Bread.’’ It is a book that every housewife ought to have in the home.

CHEYENNE, Wryo., March. 15.—As Acting Governor in the Governor’s ab- sence, I will state I heartily indorse the stand of President Wilson upon the Pan- ama canal-tolls question. FRANK L. HOUX, Acting Governor of Wyoming. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. TOPEKA, Kan., March 16.—President Wilson is no doubt in possession of in- formation in the matter of Panama Canal tolls which I do not have, and I am willing to rely on his judgment. i GEORGE H. HODGES, Governor of Kansas. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. SANTA FE, N. M., March 16.—Presi- dent Wilson’s position in regard to the Panama tolis is correct and should be sustained. To correct a mistake prompt- ly is best generally. WwW. C. McDONALD, Governor of New Mexico. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. PROVIDENCE, R.. I., March 16.—On general principles I am in favor of ex- emption from canal tolls for American shipping T. J. POTHIER, Governor of Rhode Is:and., To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., March 16.—I most earnestly indorse the stand taken by President Wilson in the matter of tolls for the Panama Canal. This na- tion is both too great and too just to violate any treaty stipulation it has en tered into with any other nation. Dis- crimination in favor of American-owned vessels is a violation both of the spirit and the letter of the treaty and should not be countenanced as long as present treaty agreements exist. Congress and the people of the United States should uphold the President’s policy in fhis matter, and it is both wise and hon- orable. LEE CRUCE, Governor of Oklahoma. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. JACKSON, Miss., March 16.—I heartily indorse President Wilson’s views. EARL BREWER, Governor of Mississippi. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. HELENA, Mont., March 16.—I heartily indorse the stand of President Wilson. Ss. V. STEWART, Governor of Montana. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. RALEIGH, N. C., March 16—-I am with the President on the question. Our national honor requires that we faith- fully keep the obligations of our treaty. To my mind it is clear that the treaty does ot give exemption to the vessels of the united States. We should not put » strained construction upon this inter- national contract because we have the LOCKE CRAIG, Governor of North Carolina, power. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. RICHMOND, Va., March 16.—I am in full accord with the President’s stand on the canal tolls. H. C. STUART, Governor of Virginia. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. BISMARCK, N: D., March 16.—I am | in favor of the tolis standing as passed | by the last Congress and I am not in favor. of President Wilson’s provision. The United States dug and paid for the canal and American shipping should be given preference and concessions in the way of tolls. L. B. HANNA, Governor of North Dakota. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, 8. C., March 16.—I prefer not to say anything just now in regard to national issues. COLE BLEASE, Governor of South Carolina. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. FORT WORTH, Tex., March 16.—I am emphatically in favor of giving prefer- ence to American ships and to aid in pbuilding up American shipping. oO. B, COLQUITT, Governor of Texas. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 16.—The Tresident and Congress undoubtedly have information which makes them tetter qualified to pass on the canal tells proposition than one from the out- side. For that reason I would not care to express an opinion. ; ADOLPH O. EBERHARDT, Governor of Minnesota. To the -.Editor of the Post-Dispatch. PHOENIX, Ariz., March 16.—I hearti- ly approve of President Wilson's stand. | believe that the President’s published views on this subject are just and well founded, as interpreted in the light of the provision of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. GEORGE W. P. HUNT, — Governor of Arizona. fo the Editor of the Post-Dispatch LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 16.—I have been very much in accerd with Président Wilson's administration, but Te ee ed ee - - ws to his pusition on the question of the, T. M. AMMONS, Governor of Colorado. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, HARTFORD, Conn., Mareh 16.—I am strongly in favor of the repeal of the exemption of American shipping from the tolls on the Panama Canal. It is not simply a question of treaty construc- tion. It is enough that claims of other Powers is that they are unjustly dis- criminated against, and that there is at least good color for .their claims. SIMEON E. BALDWIN. Governor of Connecticut. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. BOISE, Idaho, March 16.~I am firm ly of the belief that exemptions of American ships plying between our own coast ports from payment of canal tolls is correct policy, and would result in great development of interstate com- merce, The propriety of insisting upon such éxemption at the present time in view of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is another matter. JOHN M. HAINES. Governor of Ilaho. To the Editor «\&the Post-Dispatch. INDIANAPOLAS. Ind., March 16.—I am supporting President Wilson in his Panama Canal toll policy. SAMUEL M. RALSTON, Governor of Indiana. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. BATON ROUGE, La., March 16.—I do not favor repeal of the law exempting American coastwise vessels from pay- ment on canal tolls. Exemption, in my opinion, is a wise domestic policy, and not a proper matter for discussion or agreement with foreign nations. How- ever, I do not think that any existing treaty stipulations should be ignored or repudiated. My opinion is that these stipulations relate only to vessels en- gaged in foreign commerce. Inasmuch as the President is charged with the conduct of our foreign relations. and since this otherwise purely domestic question has become the subject of dip- lomatic exchange, I am of the opinion that the attitude of the President should be sustained. L. E. HALL, Governor of Louisiana. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. WATERVILLE, Me., March 16.—If the President is right about the treaty he is right about the repeal of the tolls ex- emption for American ships. The treaty should be regarded as fundamental! law. but it is a bad trade for States and a great favor to foreigners. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. OLYMPIA, Wash., Mra.

Ritchie Primes Wolgast for’ a Slaughter on July 4 A Return Bout Is Sought | Lightweight Champion, Astute Financier, Suffered Michi- gan Wild Cat to Last Through Milwaukee Bout So as: to Asure Big Title Match, Sharpe Thinks. By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee for the Future City A. C. and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. at Milwaukee, Wis., encounter, A ate D WOLGAST lived up to expectations in his battle with Willie Ritchig last Thursday night, fighting a hard and desper- but he never got very far away from the light- weight champion, and the bout resulted almost precisely as was predicted in this column two days before the fight, when it was stated that ‘‘ Wolgast’s one chance to win seems to be by a knockout, barring, of course, the possi- bility of winning on a foul. shaded. happen. And that is just what did happen, 9? according to ring experts and news- reporters who were at the them accorded paper ringside. None of Wolgast better than a draw, but most of them declared that Ritchie had slightly the better of it. It is the -writer’s opinign that Ritchie did not extend himself to the limit, except at times during the bat- tle when Wolgast put on extra steam and hurried matters. Then the light- weight champion increased his speed, and even roughed it with Wolgast to the latter’s discomfiture. Ritchie an Astute Financier. There has never been a doubt since Ritchie fought Freddie Welsh that he can fight if he will, but it has been a difficult matter to get him in the ring, especially since he won the championship from Wolgast more than two years ago. Ritchie is a clever boxer, a hard hitter, a good ring general, physically strong and fast and game. Above all, he is an astute financier and knows the value of his. title as “champion light- weight.” This is an asset that will bring him in a 16t of money so long as he can retain it, and he shows an excellent ability to retain it—by not fighting. Ritchie probably is more confident of his ability to defeat Wolgast, any time and any number of rounds, than he is of some other “hard nuts to crack” who might be picked for him. Hence his willingness to take on Wol- gast at Milwaukee and then nursing him along for a final slaughter, prob- ably next July or September, when it is very likely the two will be matched for a 20-round contest on the Pacific Coast. And when that time comes Wolgast will be rele- gated to the rear, so far as his as- piration to recover the lightweight title is concerned, If these two meet in a battle of this sort Ritchie is the writer’s pick, and by a_i knockout, The fight will never go the limit. He is far more likely to get a draw or be The latter, in the writer ’s opinion, is the most probable thing to In the meantime Ritchie may take on a bout or two, but he will be care- ful enough in his selection to run little risk of defeat, and the bout will be of not more than 10 rounds, prob- ably with no decision. If the coast promoters, several of whom are said to have had their rep- resentatives present at the ringside on last Thursday night, decide to use Wolgast against Ritchie the former, too, will be carefully guarded in such matches as he may make between now and his “‘come-back” try to re- gain the title, because a decisive beat- ing from anyone will spoil him as a drawing card. Ritchie undoubtedly has hi¢ eye on the opportunity which will se afford- ed him (if he manages to weather through without a defeat this year) by a match during the Panama FEx- position at San Francisco {n 1915 for a purse that will aproximaie a tidy fortune. If plans now in course of formation are realized there will take place during the Exposition one of the greatest boxing tournaments ever given in this country and the recog- nized champions at all weights will be participants. Corbett’s “Bit” Was $45,000. The last great tournament of this! sort took place in New Orleans, La., in 1892. On Sept. 7 of that year James J. Corbet defeated John L. Sullivan for the heavywelviit cham- plonship, winning in the twenty-first round after Sullivan had gone to the mat so exhausted that he could not continue the battle. On that occa- sion the purse hung up by the pro- moters was $25,000, with a side bet of $10,000 posted by each of the fight- ers, making a stake of $45.900 In all. On the night previous Jack Me- Auliffe, lightweight chamrion, sue- cessfully defended his title against Billy Meyers, the “Streator <Tll.)

PETERSBURG, Fila., March 16.— The mutinous members of the Brown crew, who chucked their baggage into the gutter Saturday night, as a pro- test at the hotel cuisine and other of- fenses hereabouts, are not so hostile to- day. They have found solace in the fact that Manager Rickey, instead of offering a rebuke, proffered sympathy. Rickey is a right smart diplomat, as the Southerner would say. He readily recognized the delicate situation he had to face, and instead of taking his men to task for their outbreak, he, also, en- tered a kick against the accommodations and declared that never again would he consent to have his club’s training trip managed by a Business Men’s League. Whereupon Owner Hedges, who can see the psychology of things, cleverly announced that he would buy the local ball park, and prepare next year to manage his own campaign. The Browns came here this season witb all their expenses guaranteed by the local Cham- ber of Commerce. It was this attractive feature which lured them into the Fifth Avenue Hotel, which is a second-class, slow-combustible boarding house. Athletes Kept Busy. The players who have had a lean win- ter, were very much peeved at the start. as they usually look forward to the training trip as a chance to fatten up. Few of the athletes come here to take off weight. They lose a few pounds ev- ery winter eating the meals they have to pay for themselves. There is one member of the mutineers, however, who still is sulking. George Baum- gardner, who has had many attractive offers from the Kansas City Federals, is sulking and refuses to associate with his teammates. Baumgardner admits that he hasn’t yet made up his mind where he will play the coming season and in answer to this Manager Rickey says Baumgardner can ‘‘go hang.’’ Rickey is through with Baumgardner until such time as the pitcher sees fit to behave. Vernon Ashley, the pitcher, probably wil! be sent to Nashville, in spite of his wife. Vernon is a newlywed and his bride accom- panied him on this trip. When Manager Rickey released Vernon he offended Mrs. Ashley, who voiced her displeasure in strong language. . Rickey hasn’t yet rescinded the order for Vernon to vacate. The Browns will open a three-game series with the Athletics here today. Connie Mack will send several of his regulars here and Rickey also promises to use his first-string men. a. ~ s Killefer’s Case Will Be Tested in U. S. Courts Permanent Injunction Against His Playing With Phils Will Be Asked For. CHICAGO, March 16.—A bill asking for a permanent injunction to prevent William Killefer from playing with any baseball club except the Chicago Federal League club will be filed in the United States Court at Grand Rapids, Mich., next Thursday, it was anounced today by James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal League. The Killefer case. Gilmore said, will be the firet of a series of test cases to be started by the Federal League. Gilmore eaid he would bring Pitchers Blanding and Kahler of the Naps into court to show cause why they should not report to the Federal League, but this will not be done until the Killefer case is settled. Killefer, according to Gilmore, signed a Federal League contract, accepted $500 as ad- vance money. then repudiated the contract and joined the Phillies, who are now train- ing in the South. CLAUDE COOPER JUMPS GIANTS, GOES TO FEDS FORT WORTH, Tex., March 16.—Out- fielder Claude Cooper of the New York National League baseball team an- nounced today he had signed a three- year contract with the Brooklyn Fed- erals. His salary was said to be $5000 per year, of which he received one year’s pay in advance today. GOV. MAJOR AGREES TO FIRE FIRST FED BALL Elliot W.

Why does the catcher wear armor? I'd like a look at that glove. You don’t get much for your money if they only get to first base all the time. That’s so careless of the runner to get so far (While a player was stealing a base.) What's the pitcher looking to the right and left all the time for? delays the game. Jolly rotten luck this “foul’’ business. What's the good of that fellow shuuting to the runner all the time? It gets ‘him off his head. I don’t think the pitcher ought to send the ball without giving the bat- ter full warning. I think that bat ought to be constructed a little wider, anyhow. It seems a bit unfair that he should be allowed to take his base for doing nothing at all after four balls have been thrown. I’m sure the game will have to be changed if we’re going to play it.

A robber sauntered into the drug store of William F. Ittner, 2233. South Grand avenue, about 8:30 p. m., Sunday, and asked the clerk behind the soda foun- tain, Herman Schuh, for an ice cream soda. When Schuh informed the visitor the ice cream supply had run out the lat- ter drew a. revolver and commanded the boy to lie face downward on the floor. Schuh obeyed and the robber, after taking about $20 from two cash registers, ran west on Cleveland avenue and escaped. Harry B. Kienken, another clerk, was behind the prescription counter. lie emerged just as the highwayman was departing. Seizing a revolver, he started in pursuit, but the robber had disappeared. Four Other Robberies Reported. Two homes, one apartment house and one store were looted by burglars in the West and South Ends late Saturday night. Josie Schneider, a maid who occupies « room on the third floor of the Kenneth Green residence, 56 Kingsbury place, was awakened whén a man _ struck two matches in a second-floor bedroom. She switched on the electric lights and the burglar escaped through a bathroom window, by which he had entered after climbing a porch. A gold pin set with sapphires and pearls, valued at $50, and a purse’ containing $12. the property of Mrs. Green, were taken. The home of L. J. Schwab, at 5196 Washington avenue, was ransacked an hour earlier. A gold watch valued at $150 and a monogram fob valued at $25 were stolen from a dresser drawer on the second floor while the family mem- bers were in the living room on the first floor. Wiliam L. Punsky returned. to his room in the Allendale Apar tments, 3650 Shaw avenue, and found the door had been: forced open. He reported 30 sil- ver souvenir spoons, valued at $50, a $10 cameo pin, a silver mesh bag valued at $15 and smaller jewelry valued at $9.50 had been stolen. A. L. Fay, who occupies an. apart- ment on the second floor, reported that as he was leaving the building a stran- ger passed him on the front stairs. The man, -he said, was about 2 years old and wore a dark suit. When Fay re- turned home. he reported, jewelry val- ued at $70 was missing from his rooms. The shoe store owned by Louts C. Grewe, at 2241 Cass avenue, was loot- ed by burglars who gained entrance by breaking a front window. They stole 15 pairs of women's shoes, val- ved at $3 a pair. Police later found one pair of shoes and five empty boxes in an alley at the rear of the store.

This acid-escapes ipto the blood from weak or diseased kidneys and is the cause of prac- tically all rheumatism. Plant Juice strengthens weak kidneys, clears the blood of all impurities and poisons, tones up the stomach and digestive organs, stimulates the liver into healthy action, corrects constipation, and eradicates all malaria and bil- fousness from the system.

HUSBAND FINDS HER BODY She Represented State in Many Expositions; Originating ‘Made- in-St. Louis’ Show in Paris. Mrs. Annie Laurie Y. Orff, editor of the American Woman's Review and the Home Magazine, was found dead in a bathroom at her home, 2811 Locust street, at 7:40 a. m. Monday, by her husband, Frank Orff, of the Orff Pub- lishing and Printing Co., 2807 Locust street. Mrs. Orff suffered a paralytic stroke three weeks ago, but apparently was recovering when a second stroke confined her to bed. A third stroke, Monday morning, was fatal. As a business woman Mrs. Orff gained wide prominence. She lent her support ‘to the building of the Baptist Orphans’ Hiome by getting a contribution of roses from Shaw’s Garden, which were sold for the benefit of the imstitution, and was actively working for the establish- ment of farm schools for boys. . As editor and associate publisher of several magazines, Mrs. Orff gained success through her persistent efforts She was born in Albany, N. Y., and was the niece of James M. Hart and the late William Hart, artists of New York City. Edited First Railway Twenty-one years ago, the guide called, ‘“Time,’’ was edited by Mrs. Orff, and was in common use from Maine to California. It was the first of the guides and folders so widely distrib- uted later. The booklet netted her $7009 annually, providing funds with whicna she prepared in 1890 to publish the Chap- erone, magazine devoted to the inter- ests of women. Her marmage to Orff in St. Louis in 1892, following the disappearance of her first husband, whose name was Swart, and his reported death in a railroad ac- cident, was widely commented upon. Mrs. Orff obtained a divorce at a time when there appeared to be doubt as to her first husband’s, death, so as to avoid laying herself open’to bigamy charges. In 1894 Mrs, Orff increased the size of the Chaperone and changed its name to the American Woman's Review, sued monthly. In every World's Fair Mrs. Orff held the position of represent- ative of women from the State of Mis- souri. She was appointed to the Board of Lady Managers of the World’s Co- lumbian Exposition by Gov. Francis and sold handbags Of every description from a,.booth, her net profit at the close of the fair being $5000. At the Paris Exposition, under 2. com- mission -from Gov.

Mrs. Orff received several barrels of bulbs, which she turned into premiums, stocking many states and particularly Missouri, with the sturdy vines. Mrs. Orff was a daughter of Peter Napier Johnstone of Edinburgh, Scot- land. Her mother was Marion Hart of tlasgow.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. 7 Il beg space in your paper to protest against the use of stone on the new capitol that would not leave the.cost of same among the stone- workers in our State, as the use of Ste. Genevieve stone would. It seems that the contractor, given permission to use same, would ship stone to In- diana to be finished, which would be leaving only the cost of a few quarry laborers, out of the large sum spent for this work, here. If this stone is what he claims—the best in the country—how floes he explain the fact that there is no demand er market for it, when it was always known to Still there nmeVer- was a piece used here. IT inclose a piece of same, which looks to me like dirty saltpeter, rusty between the ‘grains, and could not be compared tc. Carthage stone. To convince those who may be interested, let them take at iook at our best résidences here, built of Carthage stone; let them take a look at the three just west of Kine’'s high- way on’ Lindell boulevard, or the one in Wash- ine¢ton terrace, just west of Union boulevard, on north side, and entrance, just two blocks south on UWnion boulevard: or 100 or so more around St. Louis which have been up 20 years or more, and prove Cartljage stone superior to any lime- stone used today anywhere. The test of stone is to expose same to heat and frost for years and rot merely have it examined by experts favorable to a contractor. The building of the State capitol from Carthage stone means that $600,000 shall be spent among the stoneworkers of this State and in turn among the taxpayers.

The Government as a Standard. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. * I note in your editorial column, “Express Com- panies’ Competition” relative to the parcels post service. The parcel post service is yet in a crude state, and as the Post-Dispatch stated, it is ham- pered with too much red tape, which can be mini- mized after a little more practical. experience. Next in order is proper equipment. Give the Government a practical lever and in time it will solve all problems in parcel post to the best inter- sts of the people. The othen day someone sug- ested a parcel post market that may prove prac- ical. The farmer has no time to look for cus- tomers as consumers, but the consumer can easily come to the market and get fresh goods. This would*put the Government in a position to regu- late prices in accordance with consumption and demand that would create a standard and a proper measure to go by which the public would appre- ate. It would check the greed of speculators, sappers and grafters. A. WACKMANN, ee Pageant Should Be Eistorically Accurate. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. An oversight in historical accuracy presented itself to me in Thursday evening's Post-Dispatch concerning the pageant, w hich is to be staged here this May. It reports that there will be a band depicting the Mound Builders and that the leader of thie band will be called Cahokia. Cahokia is the name of a tribe which has no connection with the Mound Builders. The latter were long extinct before the Cahokias, who first appear on the scene in the early part of the eighteenth century flourished, The two should pot be confused in the minds of the young. To allow the name of Cahokia to be interwoven into the history of the Mound Builders would be simi- lar to connecting the name of Washington with that of the Pilgrims; or that of Woodrow Wilson with the Revolutionary War. , Lest our pageant be the subject of ridicule to anyone who is versed in the history of our In- dians, and if our pageant fs to be as correct in detall as intelligent research can make it, this er- immediately be remedied, _ FRANK ANN, Pi on ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1914. ————or ——— ee oe wee MISSOURI’S UNJUST TAXATION. The. report of the assessors of the State to the State Board of Equalization again directs public attention to the gross inequality of taxation in Missouri under the present system. The returns show that of the total assessed valuation of taxable property in Missouri, St. Louis contributes 37 per cent. The city of St. Louis, with St. Louis County and the counties ot Jackson, Jasper, Greene and Buchanan, which contain the principal cities of the State, contrib- ute approximately three-fifths of the taxable wealth. . St. Louis suffers the greatest injustice. This city pays to the State Treasury more than a third of its entire revenue for thé maintenance of the State government and its activities. The State Board of Equalization could rectify this gross inequality if it would address itself to the task of a real equalization of taxes instead ef accepting the returns of County Assessors. It bas hitherto refused to do this and has permitted the counties to shift a large share of their tax burdens on the cities: The permanent and just solution of the prob- lem, however, lies in the separation of State and local taxation, which will enable local Assessors to measure the assessment according to needs without Yorcing localities whose needs are great to bear an unjust share of the State’s burdens. This reform would be equitable to all portions of the State and should be accomplished at the earliest opportunity. Surely the people of the State do not want {heir government to live on injustice. oe New York is warring on its “professional mothers” who for hire plead tearfully for pick- pockets in the courts and are nervy enough to ask affiliation for their sorority with the Moth- ers’ Congress. | . . wr SUPREME IMPUDENCE. The Standard Oil Trust, having persistently violated the anti-monopoly laws of its native more than four decades, capped the climax of armor-plated effrontery by asking. the United States Government to protest against a bill pending in the German Reichstag, on the ground that the bill, if passed, would injure the trust’s trade in Germany. The bill is the first step toward nationalization of the oil trade in Germany, a proceeding de- termined upon by the German Government to procure #il for its citizens at low prices, and to apply the profits of the trade to public instead of private uses. The Taft administration naturally enough sent a protest, but the Wilson administration, it need hardly be added, will not renew that pro- test. We still have representative government at Washington, but it is not now representing precisely the same elements that it did under the Taft administration. ® 4» 4 i is INCOME TAX ON GRAFT. If a Congressman pays to a secretary the $1500 allowed for clerical help, he incurs no income tax obligation on the sum. If, however, he falls into the evil Capitol way of having a commercial stenographer do his work at a piece-rate cost of from $10 to $25 a month, he must pay a tax on the excess he puts in his pocket. Likewise he niust pay a tax on any portion of his mileage allowance he saves; also on any*portion of his stationery allowance he can graft by using free committee stationery instead of buying personal stationery. That the necessity of returning these ques- tionable savings as income will lead hardened Congressmen to view them in their true light as petty grafts is the belief of some. Certainly the certificate Congressmen have to sign to draw the secretary money and the income statement they have to swear to have points of incompatibility torturing to a tender conscience, and while the income returns are secret now, they may some day be known to history. But those who figure that the new tax will end some present unworthy practices under- estimate the average Congressman’s capacity in casuistry when his pocketbook is affected. A more probable result is that graft on’ which an income tax has been paid will seem to the Con- gressman a justifiable, highly sanctified form of graft to be added all the more unhesitatingly te his bank accourt. = = — - KENTUCKY SEES THE LIGHT A bill abolishing the contract system in the prisons of the State has just passed one branch of the Kentucky Legislature and is said to he practically sure of passing the other branch. This is another evidence of the growing sentiment on this demoralizing system, unfair both to the convicts over whom the State sur- renders a part.of its control and to free labor. “The contractor has all the best of it and the State all the worst of it in the transactioh,” says the Courier-Journal in summing up results. Kentucky will, of course, so frame its act as to take advantage of the increased power that will be granted the states over convict-made goods in the passage of the Stone-Booher meas- ure by Congress. In ending the contract sys- tem in its own prisons it ought not to leave its markets open to the convict-made goods of other states. i he i rr a U..8. EXPRESS CO.’S EXIT. The two. elements of the public that will be affected by the dissolution of the U. §. Express Co. are the shippers and the employes. The stockholders, it is said, will get more than the present market value of their stock in the wind- up. All they will have to do is to seek new investments. But shippers on nearly 33,000 miles of rai)- road will be left without express service, unless other express companies happen to have offices at the stations along these lines. This lack of service will be partly met by the parcel post, and it is expected that the other express com- panies, relieved of the U. S. Co.’s competition at numerous points, may find it to their ad- ee oe eee des U. 8. Co. } . * Those hardest hit, of course, are the 15,000 em- ployes. Some of these are also station agents and will not be actually out of work. But a great many will have to look for new jobs. And, with their training, it will not be easy to find employment. The incident emphasizes what the Post-Dis- patch has urged with regard to the organization of a system of labor exchanges. Other newly created governmental activities may result in displacing other large bodies of men engaged in private industries. It is not impossible that, with the complete development of the parcel post, some or all of the remaining express com- pdnies may find it impossible. to continue in business. This would throw many thousands of men into the labor market. State employment agencies should be prepared tc meet such emergencies. They should be placed in, the hands of experts, as Gov. Giynn has sug- gested. And they should be required to co- operate with each other, so that knowledge of conditions all over the country ‘would be in each agency, and so that workers could be directed tv locations where they could find employment. a i i 4 Germany’s first attack on Standard Oil forced from it a repentant promise not to exceed a low maximuny for gasoline during. 10 years. Ger- many has discovered something more effective than $29,240,000 fines that are not collected and dissolution proceedings that do not dissolve. = = rw ve NOT ONE BUT ALL NATIONS. Assuming that Representative Knowland of California has read the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, he knows that the United States guaranteed that the Panama Canal ‘shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and war of all na- tions * * * on terms of entire equality.” While the treaty was a compact between the United States and Great Britain, it explicitly prescribed the condition upon which not they only but every nation of the world should use the canal—“‘on terms of entire equality.” The desperate attempts being made by various politicians at Washington and their accomplices to start a wave of Anglophobia in order to em- barrass the administration are palpably dishon- esf. In. repealing the exemption of coastwise trade from the payment of canal tolls, the United States will be recognizing Great Britain no more than it will bé recognizing the rights of every other nation engaged in foreign commerce under its own flag. France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Belgium, Holland, Spain and all rations that own ocean-going vessels have the Same cause aS England under the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty. By that compact Great Britain and the United States became trustees for all nations at the isthmus. What our advocates of race hatred are trying to do, aside from conferring a subsidy upon Our coastwise monopoly, is to persuade the United States to repudiate its obligations not to Great Britain alone, but to the whole world. a = = = _ i, a 4 GENERAL ORDER No. 217. No outside criticism of the Police Department has been voiced in more severe terms than that in Acting Chief Gillaspy’s general order No. 217. Its evidence that the department can see itself as others see it is gratifying. “There must be an improvement all along the line,’’ says Mr. Gillas- by. He tells the district Captains that “if vour men were doing even ordinary police duty, many of these crimes would be prevented and arrests made. In some precincts men are not even walk- ing their beats.” The record of local crime has been enlarged by burglaries at two stores and five dwellings, one o; which was set on fire to conceal the depreda- tion. Its vogue in unusual degree demands watchfulness and resourcefulness in equal degree cn the part of the police. General order No. 217 places the responsibility squarely on the Cap- tains. St. Louis hopes they will make good and re- deem themselves from the censure following the escape of the paymaster robbers. = = * ~~ | Londoners who fear the loss of American tour- ist trade on account of suffragette activity for- get how much of the resources for carrying on the crusade comes from this side of the water. = = * i DOES RED CROSS LENGTHEN WARS? Miss Edith Durham, who had such oppor- tunities for observation during the Balkan War us were permitted correspondents, advanced in a London lecture the curious theory that the Red Cross prolongs the horrors of war. Her reasoning runs this way: Thousands of soldiers who might otherwise die are preserved through Red Cross ministrations. The recovery of thousands of sick and wounded soldiers is hastened who might otherwise be incapacitated until after the war had been finished. These soldiers are returned to the ranks to continue fighting after the date on which the losses im- posed by a different condition might force the end of the war through the exhaustion of one or both sides. If the Red Cross is in league with militarism, it is time, indeed, the alliance is dissolved by the introduction of the universal peace era. But hers is only an academic and rather fantastic view. It is akin to the cynical view that ameli- orative agencies insuring a better equipment and greater longevity in the battle. for a livelihood only prolong an agony that. might sooner be ended. If the Red Cross extends war’s duration, then exchange of prisoners, small-caliber bullets, merey to noncombatants, bombardment of populous cities only after due notice and other humane usages must extend it. But we know that the duration of wars has been greatly .shortened since the days when helpless wounded left on the field were killed, prisoners were slaughtered as fast as taken, wells were poisoned and women and children were enslaved. The Red Cross helps to restrict the vogue of war by softening ferocities of the fight that might lead to perpetual international feuds. i i Revenge. From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

LORGNETTE, DON’T believe I am betraying any confidence when I tell you that many of our modish St. Louis women find it necessary to practice walking in their tight skirts at home before a mirror. The short, quick step which these narrow girths around the feet necessitate calls for art in the execution in order to avoid awkward- ness and visible effort. In spite of all this, the styles for the coming sea3ton are almost as pro- nounced in regard to the cut of the skirt as formerly, tie skirt being little, if any, wider, and there are additional eccentricities such as the bustle and “hike’ in -the back, which make the models exceedingly trying to the woman who has independent ideas as to what is becoming and suitable. Although the slit in front of the skirt is disappearing and the lengths are de- cidedly shorter,. the law of compen- sation has not entirely been overlooked, and there is a lapped-over cr concealed slash in the back to add additional width. Everywhere goes conspicuous be noted. The saw a woman walking in one of the new gowns. It was fashioned of in a deep rich shade of bor- one ‘“Wineg”’ taffeta, deaux, and had an unusual sash, start- ing at the front of the bodice and cross- ing in front, extended around the hips to the back, where it terminated in two long ends. The sides of the tunic were caught up the hips by the sash, to give the ‘wing’ effect. The width of the skirt appeared to be not more than 46 inches around the bot- tom. Only the high slit up the front made it possible to place one foot be- fore the other in walking. From a sea- son of ‘“‘hipless women” it would seem that we have arrived at one of ‘‘winged skirts.”’ The astonishing thing about it is that these airy-like appendages should be developed about the hips. The winged waist is overdue, and will give us the complete modern version of the winged victory, as conceived by ingenious sar- torial artists of the day. Comfort Long Ago Was Given Up as a Lost Hope. Comfort has so long been held a neg- ligible quantity in matters of womel’s dress that humanity has become re- signed to a certain form of martyrdom attaching to the following of ultra mo- dish styles. A year or two ago the edict went forth from Dame Fashion for her femi- nine devotees to hobble. Forthwith the world was afforded the extraordinary spectacle of women walking in skirts designed to give them no more freedom than the swathings of a Mummy!—and in which the slightest maladroit move- ment proved disastrous. Then in quick succession came the slit skirt, diaphanous gown, etc., each more daringly theatric and defiant of conventions than the other, and bring- ing DESPAIR to the woman of quiet taste and modest ideas, wiis yet desired to appear up-to-date in her toilet.

When a man hasn’t a wife to blame for all his troubles and mistakes he blames them on ‘‘ Fortune’’—a deity always represented by a woman. If mothers had their way all men would be mollycoddles; but, thank heaven! the first day at school, the first fist-fight and the first unhappy love affair manage to knock that out of most of them. A man is a strange creature. He cuts all the hair off his head, where he needs it for protection, and then tries to cultivate ‘‘individuality’’ by encouraging it to grow in little spots on his face. If a married woman holds onto her opinions she loses her husband’s weve; and if she holds onto his love ) she e loses her identity. contend that the radical dress styles of late years have had a beneficial effect upon the plastic mind of the sex, in that it has stimulated thought on right ideals and standards in dress, which has resulted in the development of a stronger INDIVIDUALISM. Ins fact, even the most inane and inconsequentiai woman nowadays can be depended upon to display intelligent discrimination in such matters when pressed for an ex- pression of preference. Now Has the Promenade Become a Sack Race. Then, too, who will deny the disciplin- ing value of restrictive dress after wit- nessing the valiant efforts of those so attired, to negotiate the public thor- cughfares with due propriety and grace? It requires consummate self-concentra- tion and wariness to avoid a contre- temps, to say nothing of dodging the procession of vehicles, automobiles and cther traffic in the streets, with such handicaps. The moralizing spectator who takes up a stand at a busy corner any after- noon when the streets are crowded is reminded of nothing more vividly in viewing the feminine parade of fashion than an old-fashioned sack race, and is tempted to applaud dexterity in walk- ing in the same spirit as recognition is accorded the skillful sack racer. But then one might as well be dead as not in fashion, and after all there is this consoling thought for the devotee o: the present modes: Anyone can move along the easiest line of resistance, but it takes a thor- oughbred to make the hurdles. Recently an organized campaign was instituted by the Women's Patriotic League against startling costumes. This has led to many prominent French de- signers and dressmakers hastening to the fore to disclaim any connection with the perpetration of extreme styles in dress. It is the American, not the Parisienne, they protest, who create: the demand for risque gowns, and in nine cases out of 10 the garments are made for exportation. Although admit- ting responsibility for originating the mode the Paris modiste says they know just how far to go, while Americans have perverted and outraged a clever dress conceit by exceeding all limits of modesty and reason.

Does your ambition spur you to he a leader? Then you must develop with- in yourself the quality of leadership. Leadars have been made leaders by ac- cident, yet the quality of leadership must necessarily have been there. The only claim to accident lay in its dis- covery. By some strange and unfore- seen turn of eircumstance that quality sprang to the fore—and the man wa3 made to stand out in strong relief against the colorless background of fol- lowers. But more often leaders have risen to their heights of command by climb- ing the long, steep road of logical prog- ress. Their powers gradually have been demonstrated, recognition gradually has been given them, until at last they have stood apart from and before their fol- lowers. Their leadership has been self- created. It has been carned, not given. And the day the first step upward toward the goal was taken was that day in which they obtained the mas- tery, not over some of their fellows, but over themselves. For a great leader must first of all be in command of himself. if he is not fit to be his own director, he is not fit to direct the destinies of others. Self mastery, then, is the first re- quirement. Be so strong in your own personality, your own judgment, your own control that your personal qualities attract attention and create confidence.

At the bottom of the cabinet were four little drawers, which she "ad many times seen her mother open to take out jewelry and other things which she kept in them, but what interested ler more than the drawers were two tiny doors at the top, which she could not remember evér having seen her mother open. One day Amy was in the i00m all by herself and Ker mother had gone to spend the day with a friend. “I don’t see why I shouldn't open the cabinet,” said Amy to herself. “I won't take anything out of it, but I would like t-- see how it looks inside.’’ But just as she opened them the least bit everything, seemed to change. In- stead of being in her mother’s bedroom she was in the queerest-looking village she ever heard of. “All the houses were little one-story buildings with paper walls and instead of having hold of the door to a cabinet in her mother’s bed- room she was opening a gate which led into the yard of one of those queer- looking houses. ‘“T wonder where I am, and why I! am here?’ asked Amy of herself. And then one of the paper walls to the house slid back and a wicked-looking old man stepped toward her. “So you are the one who looked in the box, are you?” he asked. “You are the one who opened the door to the cabinet."” Amy did not know what answer to make, for she did not know what the man would do to her. He wa: dressed in a long red gown, which reached to his feet, and the hair on his head: was cut and shaved in the most peculiar manner and in a way she had never seen her father have his fixed. He told her to go into the house, and when she had gone in, he set her to work. And such a lot of work he lfound for her to do. | All day she cleaned and dusted and washed and wiped, and when night came all she had to sleep upon was the floor and all she had to rest her head on for a pillow was a block of wood that was very hard and uncomfortable. And then the food he gave her to eat did not seem very nice to her, for it was only rice; not the rice pudding with raisins in it that her mother used to make, but plain rice without any cream or sugar. And then as soon as she had eaten, she had to go to work again. Finally she went to the man and asked him: “How long have 1 got to stay here and what can I do to get back to my home and my mother?” “You will have to stay until the doors to the cabinet are shut,” the Chapters From a Woman’s Life By Dale Drummond. — CHAPTER Iil. HAD run in debt. To be sure not I found that if I paid for easy. 1 had noth- everything promptly, ing left for clothes or amusement. So I formed the habit of letting such tradesmen as would wait. Lapping their bills over from one month to the next; paying only when importuned for money. I had no self-denial, especially when it came to a question of clothes; and had spent more than was at all consistent with our income for some new dresses and a lovely hat, although mother sent me $20 when I wrote her of my unsuccessful attempt to alter my wardrobe. There is one thing at least that wom- en do not boast about, and that is their understanding of mathematics. I knew exactly how much Jack earned. I knew just how much I had to spend. Yet I was constantly overspending and exas- perated as the inevitable resultant of my non- -mathematical mind. I had al- ways believed that two and two made four. Believed it because I had been told, not because I had proven it for myself. But I found that two and two with me did not make four. That I had only taken it for granted that it was so. Like most other women 1 was a non- mathematician. . I had not been well for some time. And I should for that very reason have been more caraful, more economical, knowing that with the coming of the ex- pected addition to our family our ex- penses would of necessity be greater. Moreover, I was, I now see, supreme- lv selfish. I never saw the beauty of renunciation. There was no excuse for my doing as I did. No possible excuse for my wishing for more money, more style, more show, except the wish to outdo others. I was young—my mirror told ne beautiful.

Of the STREET. But I lw as an apt pupil, and so thought much of what he MIGHT do for me if he were not AFRAID. Once I twitted him of that—Of being AFRAID.

Not on a first small investment, but by pyramiding. Jack had ex- plained to me this wonderful process of making money, and I in my ignor- ance could not understand why every- one with a little capital did not in this way become independent. “You know, Sue,’ he said, after one of my outbursts, “it doesn’t always work. Men doing it sometimes lose every cent they have in the world. They get to plunging, and then the deluge.”’ I of course poo-hooed the idea that anything we might do could fail. “With the information you have we might be rich. As rich as Mr. Ames- bury,’’ I said to him, not once, but many times, so keeping the knowledge that I wished for more than he could give me constantly before him, knowing all the time that it was making him un- settled, if not unhappy. Marriage follows love—mostly; but love would both follow and endure aft- er marriage more often if we weren't so misguided as to one or both try to ape our more prosperous acquaintances. If the constant training after social po- Sition with its attendant extravagances of dress and entertainment were omit- ted. Many times I was on the point of telling Jack of the bills hidden in the bureau drawer. But as many times I failed to do so, and instead kept get- ting deeper and deeper in debt, until now I scarcely dared to tell him. Yet somehow they must be paid, and soon. The tradesmen were getting impatient. Some had dunned me brutally, and I realized that I could put them off but little longer. TO BE CONTINUED. man said, “and I hope that will not be for a long time, for I have a lot for you to do.” How Amy wished that she had not opened the doors to the cabinet. After she had been there so long that it seemed to her almost months, one day ‘while she was working she heard the old man coming along the hall as fast as he could go. shutting all the sides of the house together-as he came. She did not know what the matter was, but she could hear him, as he came nearer, saying, “They are shutting the doors; they are shutting the doors.” Amy jumped up and ran ac fast as she could out into the yard and down to the gate, and just as she touched the gate everything changed and she was back in her mother’s bedroom again, standing at the dressing case, with her hand out toward the cab- inet, and right behind her was her mother, who reaching over her shoul- ler was pushing the doors of the cabinet together. “I have told you,” said her mother, “that you were came very near disobeying me I shall punish you by not letting you come into my room for a week.” Amy was so glad to get back heme that the punisment of not going to her mother’s room did not make her so sorry as it would otherwise have done, and she promised herself that she would never disobey her mother again. But though she never touched it again, she often wondered If every- thing that little girls were told not to open had inside them such un- pleasant things as she found in the Japanese cabinet.

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dah- druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itehing and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluff , lus- trous, glossy, silky and soft, an ‘look and feel a hundred times better. . If you want to preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair. more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everyone notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store.

He passes his topcoat and his silk hat to a waiter, just as a genteel citizen would do. He makes himself comfortable, and carefully peruses the menu card. He eats with due regard for the etiquette of the tables. He makes no ‘‘pig’’ of himself. When Richard the Great taps the bell for the waiter he taps it gently, as gentlemen should. He doesn’t gulp his wine down. He sips it slowly and in good taste. He orders his cigarettes and lights one just as a gentleman does it. He doesn’t puff it awkwardly, but skillfully as though he enjoys it, and perhaps he does. , Richard the Great does things as no trained ape ever did before. He does fifty things no one ever has seen a trained member of the monkey fam- ily ever attempt. On the spiral glide he ascends and descends on a ball, all the while keeping his body erect, and performing a feat that is rarely equaled by the human acrobat. 7 : Richard the Great is the de luxe performer of the animal world. He constitutes the greatest animal act ever seen on this continent. One would almost believe in the Darwin theory after having seen this wonderful animal. on such an enormous family, one of the largest families in the world. The triennial festivals belong to them. It represents the best that money can buy, that ingenuity can con- ceive and obtain. Even the Hippodrome with its vast seating capacity doesn’t pretend to accumulate a profit on this special festival week. The receipts can’t offset the expense. No one is trying to make it so. The triennial festival is merely the Hippo- drome’s big sur- prise party lorits regular patrons and for those few who may heretofore have overlooked the one great thea- ter in St. Louis. The most of the best for the least and get it all the scale at so time. low a price. Cand ana? FRANK (THE L.

The May option was tnclined to be re- actionary on heavy world’s shipments and quiet cables. The distanct deliv- eries were firm on scattered dry weather reports from Kansas. Steady American cables on Saturday stimulated some support at the opening in Liverpool and, assisted by the firmer Manitoba offers, prices were unchanged to 4d higher. During the remainder of the morning session the market was very dull, with price changes inconse- quential, but the undertone was steady. The advance was checked by the liberal world’s shipments, goodly amount to the United Kingdom and an increase in Liv- erpool stocks. Liverpool corn opened 4d higher with America. Later March gained an addi- tional 4d, while July declined %d with profit-taking. Light world’s shipments and the strength in spot caused March shorts to cover, while better weather in Argentina prompted realizing in July. The movement of wheat to market in the Northwest was light. Minenapolis had 341 cars, against 476 last weak and 684 last year. uluth 48, against 74 and 39. Winnipeg 129, against 230 and 4165.
