The American expert won four sets on Monday in such easy fashion that the result was virtually a foregone contlu- sion. Gould’s playing in the four sets today was fully up to that of the first day. The British champion fought har to the very end, taking the third set rf the day and the seventu of the matca in fine style.

Build- ing’s shell, weakened by the action of fire and water, was blown down in 4 %5-mile-an-hour wind a little after 2 p. m. Tuesday, and sheared away, as if with a giant knife, tne rear half of the St. Louis Seed Co.’s gour-story building which fronts on Washington avenue and adjoins the club building on the west. Three Girls on Balcony, A one-story annex in the rear of the geed company, which was used as a ship- ping and receiving department, had been dismantled and unroofed in the fire. In the rear of the annex is a large yar, opening on Lucas avenue. Between the annex and the store a barrier of planks had been built. Half way up the par- tition was a temporary balcony, on which three women and two men were at work. They were Miss May Murine, a stenographer, of 4317 Page boulevard; Misses Haze] and Mildred Sonderman, sisters and clerks, of 4213 Cote Brilliante avenue; Henry Strattman, cashier, 3829 Delmar boulevard, and James Herman Cobb, salesman, of 4612 McMillan pis nue, A large sign, announcing that the com- pany was open for business, was posted at the entrance on Washington avenue. The (firm’s busy = season, that of ihe spring planting, was beginning, and a number of customers, probably 15, were in the store. In the bird room was a consignment of 100 canaries, in wooden crates, which had just been received. ther employes of the stor., including the secretary of the-company, John A. Rau, were at their work in the front part of the store. So far as the offi- clals of the firm learned, there were no employes on the upper floors, which were used as storerooms. Working at repairs in various parts of the building were 18 carpenters and laborers, employed by the Wimmer Con- structing Co. and under the direction of C. A. Hanna. On the fourth floor, close up under the roof upon a tier of seed boxes, were two carpenters, Mor- ris Montgomery of 619 North Twenty- ninth street, East St. Louis, and C. L. Gryder. With them were four laborers— O. Ball, J. Mack, G. Nick and Charles Thompson. In the basement were four laborers—W. Spaulding, F. Weber, Wil- liam Davison and Joseph McNally—be- sides the janitor of the store, Emil West of 4219 Garfield avenue. The west wall of the M. A. C. Build- _. ing had already been recognized as per- jlous, and cables had been attached !n the morning to pull it down. It was planned to raze it Tuesday night. The employes in the front part of the store and most of the customers rushed for ‘the street at the first sound of the disaster, and escaped. The adjoining streets were almost in- atantly filled with spectators, who con- unued arriving by thousands during the afternoon on foot and in automobiles. Details of firemen and policemen were quickly on the scene and rushed to the @ust-obscured heap of timbers and bricks from which screams and cries for help, some of them in the voices of women, could be heard beyond Lucas avenue. The city laborers who had just escaped from the M. A. C. Building were led at a run to the rear of the store. Ther swarmed upon the debris and began tearing with their hands at the beams and boards from which the cries were coming. The voice which carried farthest was that of a man, who as regularly as the ticking of a clock yelled “Aye!” deep down in the ruins. But after half an hour the cries were stilled suddenly. The first to be rescued were the girl stenographer and clerks, who were lifted from under a heap of timbers by work- ingmen'‘and carried to the Belcher Ho- tel, across the street. The Sonderman sisters, the rescuers marveled to discov- er, escaped with cuts and bruises. Miss Mulrine’s collar bone was broken and her: shoulder dislocated. A new type- writer; at which she had been working, ‘wad found. It was smashed into scraps. Stratman also suffered only slight in- juries. . eo Then workers were astonished to ; see boards near the bottom of the heap part and a man crawl out. He arose to his feet and walked out smiling, with- out a bruise! It was West, the janitor, whe said the wreckage had formed in in a 35-Mile Wind | age with the firemen and administered the sacrament and comfort to all per. sons within reach of their voices. Soon afterward the unconscious form .¢ Willard Davidson, a laborer of 15” Park avenue, was found and extricat- ed. He died on the way to the city hospital. Charles Thompson's voice was heard for more than two hours before the firemen could reach him. When the upper part of Thompson’s body was reached the firemen gave him stimu- lants. Maurice Montgomery, foreman for the Wimmer company, was next taken out, after the removal of a pile of wreckage nearly 20 feet high. He said he was “smashed all to pieces,’’ and it was found later that his right hip was broken. At 6 o’clock, by order of Mayor Kiel and President McPheeters of the Police Board, the premises were cleared of all persons except policemen, firemen and city laborers. Even firemen on their day off, whe.volunteered to help, were sent away. | Guided by Man’s V0ice, Meantime firemen workin from the inside of the store and mining into the ruins from the scuth, were seeking to rescue Cobb, who, unlike the others on the balcony, had fallen to the south and not the north, and was borne into To protect the crowds, the police es- tablished lines on Lucas avenue and Washington avenue from Broadway to Fourth street. ; 7 Workmen, in shifts, tolled under arc lights in the ruins throughout the night and continued their work Wednesday, removing the debris. , Sonderman Girl Wouldn’t Escape Until Miss Mulrine Was Free. Detective Sergeant Jeans, who aided in the rescue of the three girl employes of the concern, related Wednesday that the Sonderman sisters refused to escape until Miss Mulrine, whose shoulder was pinioned under a joist, was released. He safd the rescue was led by a negro workman, whose name has not been learned, and that the negro and others without much difficulty opened up a way by which the two sisters could get out of the wreckage. But they told the rescuers that Miss Mulrine was behind them, held down by timbers, and that they would -not leave her. The negro ran to a hardware store and returned with saws, with which the joist was cut in two. The sisters helped in lifting their companion from the sort of cave in the ruins ir. which the three were, and then climbed out themselves. — —@—_—__—_ Seed Company Presents Bird Cages to Dispensary Doctors.

There is one sure Way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, you get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), ap- ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four mote applications will com- pletely dissolve, and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how r uch dandruff you may have. You will fi nd all itching and dig- ng of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lus- trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

HINTS ENGLAND FORCED PRESIDENT TO ASK TOLLS Washington Senator Intimates It Was Britain's Price to _ Keep Hands Off Mexico. WASHINGTON, March 18.—The broad charge that President Wilson deter- mined to ask Congress to repeal the Panama tolls exemption as a conse- quence of his recent conference with Sir Lionel Carden, British Minister to-Mex- ico, and that the President’s action was the culmination of negotiations with Great Britain for the preservation of the Monroe Doctrine, threatened by the Mexican situation, was made in the Sen- ate today by Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington. He was speaking on his pending resolution calling on the Presi- dent for full information on the tolls controversy. Senator Jones intimated a repeal o! the tolls exemption was the price of non-interference in Mexico by other for- eign powers. RUN-DOWN WOMEN Find Health in a Simple Tonio. How many women do you know who are perfectly well, strong and healthy as a woman should be? They may not be sick enough to lie in bed—but they are run-down, thin, nervous, tired and devitalized. Women are so active nowadays and so much is expected of them, that they constdntly overdo and suf- fer from headache, backache, hner- vousness and kindred ills. Such women need Vinol, our deli- cious cod liver and iron tonic with- out oil which will create an appetite, tone up the digestive organs, make pure blood and create strength. Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss., says: “I was in a run-down condi- tion for months; I had taken several medicines but they seemed to do me no good. Finally Vinol was recom- mended, and from the first bottle I began to improve until I am strong and well as ever.” Try a bottle of Vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.

OTHER DUPLICATIONS MAD » Expert Accountant Who Investi- gated Books Cross-Examined In Effort to Shake Testimony. The trial of E. Fred Gerold, former City Treasurer of East St. Louts, charged with withholding $50,000 from the city, continued in the City Court of ast St. Louis Wednesday morning, when evidence was offered to show that Gerold had made duplicate payments of $100 on interest-bearing coupons at- tached to a bond issue of $42,000 for the improvement of Twenty-fifth street, be- tween Waverly and Fortieth streets. 11. G. Ambrose, expert accountant, who examined the records July 1, 1912, testified that $4050 worth of the bonds had, up until that date, been paid, whereas only $3950 worth of redeemed bonds were on file, leaving an excess payment of $100, which could not be accounted for. Cross-examined by Attorney Hubert Schaumlesse!l for the defense, Ambrose testified that it was impossible to make a complete analysis of the Twenty- fifth street account as some of the coupons Attached to the bonds issued for the improvement were missing. Testimony also was offered to show that duplicate vouchers for $70, in war- rants for $40 and $35, had been paid on interest-bearing coupons attached to a bond issue for the improvement of Twenty-fourth street from Bellevue to Iilinois avenues. Evidence also was introduced by the presecution to show that $280 had been withheld on the improvement of Twen- ty-sixth street from State street to II- linois avenue. The testimony set forth that on Feb. 21, 1913, a payment of $2755.86, on the bonds issued for the improvement, in- cluded $450 on interest-bearing coupons due Novy. 2, 1912, and properly payable on that date, but also $280 on coupons payable Nov. 2, 1910, two years before. Ambrose testified that the.$280, although payable two years before, was canceled as having been paid on Jan. 17, 1913. After the jury had been taken out at the noon recess and just before he left the bench, Judge Pope announced that if the attorneys had no objection the Sheriff would be allowed to take the jury out Wednesday evening when court adjourns for the day, to get shaved, take baths and visit a show at night. He also instructed the Sheriff to allow those men who wanted some- thing to drink, their choice of a glass of beer or a toddy. To this, Assistant States Attorney Tom Webb said: ‘I second the motion,” and Hubert Schaumleffel, attorney for Gerold, said: “I move you make it two."’ The Judge ruled, however, that they could have only one drink.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. Mrs. ce Evidence, in Book Form, Recites He Used Vulgar Language and Violence. CASE ISN’T CONTESTED She Says He Ridiculed Her, Cen- -sored Guest Lists and Had Her Shadowed. NEWPORT, R. I., March 18.—-On tes- timony, a large part of which was liter- ally whispered to him, Justice Chester M. Barrows, in the Supreme Court here yesterday awarded to Mrs. Robert Goe- let a divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. By mutual agreement Mrs. Goelet is to have the sole custody of her son, Peter, two years old, until he is six, when the parents are to have joint custody of him. The son, Ogden, now 7, by the terms of the same ar- rangement is to be under the joint guardianship of the parents. Mr. Goe- let did not contest. In granting Mrs. Goelet’s petition for the divorce, Justice Barrows said: ‘‘Ex- freme cruelty may consist of insulting and abusive language, as well as physi- cal violence. The testimony shows e@ continuous use of insulting, vulgar and abusive language by Goelet toward his wife, accompanied by many petty acts clearly calculated to annoy and em- barrass her and accomplished this re- sult. The effect has been, according to the testimony, a serious impairment of her health, and the conditions fully warrant the Court in granting this di- vorce.” Evidence Printed in Book Form. That there would be no contest and that Mrs. Goelet would get the decree generally had been anticipated. It was the manner of the presentation of the wife’s case in court that was the in- teresting part of the proceedings. James Collins of Providence, Mrs. Goelet’s attorney, had printed copies of the depositions, bound in leather. One of these large volumes he handed to the Court and another to William P. Shef- field, Mr. Goelet’s attorney, who was present to protect the rights of his cli- ent. Thus Mr. Collins was able to read very low and to mumble his words in such a manner that it often was impos- sible to catch what was said. Mrs. Goelet told how she had been spied upon by servants and humiliated before her guests. She declared that on one occasion she had hired private de- tectives to protect her guests against her husband. He constantly twitted her, she said, for her extravagance and objected to her entertaining certain people. TFina!- ly, she said, her health became shat- tered and she was obliged to depart. Substance of Deposition. Her deposition was the first one read. In substance, the first part was as fol- lows: She quit Goelet because of his intol- erable cruelty toward her, which hai extended over a period of years ani which was undermining her health and making a nervous wreck of her. This began almost at once after they were married. He allowed the servants to be exceedingly impertinent to her. His valet, Drake, was exceedingly of. fensive to her and she asked to have him dismissed, but Mr. Goelet said he, at least. was of some use about the house, while she was a burden and an expense. Drake was a spy in the employ of her husband, and owing to his espionage her health was almost broken. Drake followed her wherever she went, lis- tened to her telephone conversations and reported to his master everyone with whom she talked. A watchman employed by Goelet also spied on her, stationed himself behind doors and curtains, and made tife un- bearable. Ske made every effort to be companionable and agreeable to her husband, but met with little or no success. He constantly held _ her up to derision and swore at and in- sulted her in the presence of guests. He always was rude to her friends and slammed the ‘loor in the face of Mrs. Esther Harrison Rowland. He never answered her when she spoke to him, and would put himself out of the way to show his contempt for her. At dinner, he would advise his unmarried friends never to marry, say- ing marriage was a failure, and would look fixedly at her while he said this. “He was antagonistic 0 me In every — aD mpure Blood Instantly suggests the remedy, HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.

He objected to the Grand Duke as an improper person, although his own mother had entertained the Grand Duke on a previous occasion, when he visited this country, and Mr. Goelet was personally acquainted with the no- bleman. Threatened Violence for Guests. “Once, in New York, friends of mine’”’ —(at this point Mr. Collins almost whispered and much of the deposition was lost. When his voice rose again, the story was thus picked up.)—‘“I asked Mr. Goelet and he said certainly not, they could not use the drawing room. I told him I could not refuse them permission for such an affair, and he threatened to prevent it by violence. “IT was so afraid that something dreadful would happen that I hired de- tectives to protect my guests. As he had given orders to the servants not to serve anything to eat, I was humiliat- ed to the extent of having to hire a public caterer to come to the house and arrange to serve the dinner. “All this became so intolerable that I finally decided I must leave Mr. Goelet. My health was being shattered and I felt that unless I obtained relief If should break down entirely. “He said I ate too much fruit and that one chop was enough to eat at one meal. He also said 1 drank too much chocolate, and that chocolate was ex- pensive. He refused to pay for a tele- gram I sent until he could read it, and I paid for it myself rather than submit to such humiliation.

He told his colleagues of his fight for life after he was strick- en with paralysis, and asked for their “careful and prayerful” attention to his advice. “The four things which have contrib- uted most to my restoration to health,” said he, “‘are careful diet, deep breath- ing, physical culture and drinking hct water.” While Senator Tillman was telling what he did each day, just how many times he kicked himself, some of ths Senators laughed. “I gee some of my colleagues laugh- ing,” he said sharply. “I will bury a good many of you yet.” Explains His Daily Stunts. Explaining the value of the different stunts he does daily, Senator Tillman said: ‘Without the physical culture, I would now be tortured by rheumatism an:] perhaps be bedridden. I have literally kicked it out of bed. I passed my sixty- sixth birthday last August, and am therefore not very far from the Biblical limit of three score years and ten. But had I learned how to take care of my body in early manhood, I might have been likely to reach the age of 8, & or 100.”’ Senator Tillman told the Senators just how to take physical cultur~ exercises. “Before gettnig up in the morning,”’ Senator Tillman said, ‘‘take the head off the pillow and stretch out straight. Draw in a deep breath and begin by kicking the heel of one foot against the body 15 times, then exhale. Draw in the breath again and kick with the other foot 15 times, holding the breath until the movement is finished. Then let the air out and draw in a fresh breath and kick with both feet 15 times. Other Exercises Outlined. ‘‘Next drop the heels on the bed with the knees drawn up. Then throw the knees as far apart as they can be car- ried and repeat the movement 20 times, “Then throw first one foot and then the other toward the head board wiih vigor, keeping the knee joints as straizgit as you can. ‘“‘Now kick out with both feet as wide apart as possible and kick with emphasis —as though you were kicking off a vicious dog. ‘“‘Next place the hands under the small of the tack, using these as a lever, ele- vate both feet at once and the lower rart of the body toward the headboard, using the abdominal muscles to pull up the lower extremeties. “This and the next movement are Ir!- tended to reduce the paunch. snd pull the trunk to a sitting postura, ‘Finally, throw the head back with the ing her absence from home.” posed he had treated Mrs. her husband. and Nellie Roberts, Mrs. Goe- let’s maid, corroborated the previous testimony.

LOBBY REPORT ICENSURES CONDUCT OF M'DERMOT! Sub-Committee Cites Precedents to Show Congressman Could Be Expelled. WASHINGTON, March 18.—Confirm- ing disclosures made by the New York World and the Post-Dispatch, the sub- committee of the House Judiciary Com- mittee has completed its report regard- ing the relations of Congressman James T. McDermott with lobby undertakings of the National Association of Manufac- turers. The full committee already has rnade a report showing that the Nation- al Association of Manufacturers sought to influence the acts of individual mem- bers of Congress, rewarding those who did its bidding, and working for the de- feat of those who defied it. The committee, which made the report vesterday, was instructed to recommend the penalty which McDermott would be required to pay for his acts. In declar- ing McDermott’s conduct to have, been extremely reprehensible, the subcom- raittee cited precedents to show that he could be expelled by a two-thirds vote, but it did not recommend such action. McDérmott was delighted with this sec- tion of the report, which he accepted as a virtual whitewash. The committee made no attempt to ex- cuse the conduct of McDermott with Martin H. Mulhall, field marshal for the iGbbyists, or with I. H. McMichael, for- mer chief page of the House. A resolution of censure, naming John Kirby Jr., James Emery and Mulhall, is incorporated in the report. By its sys- tematic lobbying activities, the associa- tion offended the dignity of the House, the report states. It is not improbable that McDermott, Mulhall, John Kirby Jr. and James Emery will be lined up before the Speaker’s desk and given the reprimand The committee also incorporated into tration of lobbyists, so that their activ- ities may be regulated and limited, as is required in New York, Missouri and other states. PAVLOWA RECOVERS FROM DISLOCATED BONE Dancer Injured in Performance sat Odeon Will Resume En- gagements on Thursday. Mile. Anna Pavlowa, the Russian dancer, while performing, Rubenstein’s “Valse Caprice,’’ the last number on the program, at the Odeon Tuesday night, suddenly tottered and would have falien to the stage but for Novikoff, her part- ner, who bore her to her dressing room, where she was revived after fainting. A superficial examination by physi- cians who were summoned showed a dis- location of a small bone in the instey of the right foot. Later, at Hotel Jeffer- son, X-ray examinations showed that the dislocated bone had slipped back into place, presumably under a massage treatment temporarily administered in the dressing room at the Odeon. Her manager said Wednesday that after resting, Pavlowa would resume her engagements at Dayton, O., Thursday evening.

The poliéemen were informed that Mrs. Hughes had been awakened by footsteps in her room and found a man standing in front of the mantel. She screamed and her husband grabbed the intruder by the arms and held him while Mrs. Hughes called the police. When the lights were turned on the man was rec- ognized as Whitworth.

You Breathe It Be wise in time and use Hyomeli at the first symptom of catarrh, such as frequent head colds, constant snif- fling, raising of mucus, or droppings in the throat. Do not let the disease become deep-seated and you are in danger of a serious if not fatal aib- ment. There is no other treatment for catarrh, head colds, etc., like the Hyomei method, none just as good, so easy and pleasant to use, or that gives such quick, sure and lasting relief. You breathe it—no stomach dosing. Your money refunded if you are not benefited. Try Hyomei at once and see how quickly it clears the head, stops the sniffiing, and banishes catarrh. Hyomei helps you to enjoy good health. All druggists sell it. Ask An Appeal to Reason Who passes judgment for you on your political, civic and religious be- ef? Then why not do your own investigating on this health ques- tion? See for yourself the part Bile plays in your physical make-up.

Long Live the King!” on Boulevards. : Special Cabie to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PARIS, March 18.—The assassination of Gaston Calmette, the brilliant editor of Figaro, by the wife of Joseph Cail- laux, Minister of Finance, Mas stirred the imagination and the passions of the French public as no event has done since the Dreyfus affair. The Caillaux residence, the Figaro of- fice and the Saint Lazare prison have been besieged by large crowds of curi- ous spectators, mixed with groups of rowdies who came to make hostile dem-~- onstrations against Caillaux. Last night when masses of frenzied people began to assemble en thé Peoulevards, the force of police wag trebled and then quad- rupled, and finally mounted culrassiers were called out to patrol the streets. The first collision between the mob and the police occurred outside the famous rendezvous of the Parisian journalists, the Cafe Napolitain, in the Boulevard des Italiens. Chairs and tables were smashed and the restaurant consider- ably damaged, Noisy demonstrators pa- raded, the streets, shouting: ‘‘Caillaux, the assassin, murderer!”’ Numerous arrests were made. Royalists Become Active. The Royalist party is making the most of the crisis. Arthur Meyer, ed- itor of the Royalist paper Le Gaulois, says that the occurrence is another proof -f the saying of an eminent Re- publican, that ““‘The Republic will end in blood.” Speaking of Mme. Caillaux’s crime, he, says: “It appears premeditated, and in any case it was done in pitiless cold blood without any altercation or any- thing to excuse or justify it.’ “This crime,’’ Meyer concludes, ‘‘is a judgment on the ministry and sym- bolizes the Republican regime.’’ It is now known that Mme. Caillaux went home after buying the revolver 'with which she killed Calmette and wrote a letter which she left for her husband, saying it should be given to him when he came home to dress for the embassy dinner. This letter is now in the possession of the authorities. It reads: I shall have executed justice.” Caillaux received this letter late at night after he had seen his wife in rrison. Yesterday he paid another visit to.the jail, where his wife is permit- ted only one concession, that of having her meals sent in from a restaurant. was the attorney for Capt. Dreyfus and Maurice Bernard, another eminent advocate. Labori has consented to de- fend Mme. Caillaux, but Bernard re- fused on the ground that he was an in- timate friend of the déad ‘editor. The entrance to the jail was crowded with people, who hissed Calllaux. He turned angrily, but said nothing. Cal!- laux’s residence is guarded by the po- lice, and detectives accompany hin: everywhere. Under Conatant Guard. Mme. Caillaux sleeps of & narrow iron bedstead in the prison of Saint Lazars: Her hitherto remarkably calm attitude She is never for a moment left alone Relays of nuns, two at a time, sit in the small cell with her, whether she is asleep or awaking. Prison warders fre- quently look into the cell through tho finely meshed wire partition to see that no breach of the prison regulations »& committed. . Late in the evening the Royalists’ As- sociation was called out by Leon Dau- det, the leader. He attacked Cafllaux in violent terms, while his followers shouted: ‘Down with the assassin Call- laux!”* The demonstrators were finally scat- tered by Hennion, the Prefect of Paris, in command of a large body of Police, who harried the manifestants down the boulevard while they shouted: ‘Down the Republic! Long live the King!”’ Mme. Calillaux, who was accompanied to the prison after the shooting by Ar- |} thur. Lemarte, chief private secretary of the Minister of War, conversed calm- ly of her deed, saying: “My husband ts one of the most hon- est of men. The press campaign against | him ts absolutely. frightful. every morning when I open the news- > papers.”’. “We Will Defend a Hero.” Th6-long-smoldering scandal concern- Rochette, the absconding banker, was fanned into flame when Delahaye brought up the subject in the Chamber of Deputies, in a motion that, in view of the shooting of Calmette and the charges that a Magistrate had been in- duced to postpone the trial of Rochette and so give the banker a chance to es- cape, a chance should be given to the Judge in question to prosecute his ac- cusers. An investigating committee is to be appointed. “Now that he. (Calmette) is gone,” concluded Delahaye, “his memory must , be defended. We will defend a hero, and | who, doing Kis duty, has been assassi- nated.’’ During the day Deputy Thelmas circu- lated in the lobbies a copy of a letter ho had sent to Mme. Calillaux congratu- ‘lating her on killing Calmette and vio- His lently attacking ‘‘the filthy press.” letter ended with the word “bravo.” | Delahaye read this letter to the Cham. ber amid loud exclamations of indigna- tion. “Formerly,”’ he exclaimed, ‘‘Min- isters justly accused blew out their brains. Nowadays they eend their wives to ‘kill those who stand in their path!" —_—_—-— flow to Open a Savings Account.

WOMEN QUALIFY 10 VOTE IN APRIL CHICAGO, March 18.—Including wom- act, Chicago today has the largest vot- ing population of any city in the United States, its total exceeding that of New York by more than 20,000. Sixty thousand one hundred and nine- teen women registered yesterday, in- creasing the total women’s registration to 218,645, ag compared with a total male registration of 474,981. The total Chicago registration now is 693,624. Yesterday's disagreeable weather made the womens registration smaller than had been ex- pected by politicians and election offi- cials. Chicago women will have their first opportunity to vote at the aldermanic election on April 7. Returns received today gave yester- day’s women’s registration as: Spring- field, 10,000; Rockford, 7000; Danville, 6263; Rock Island, 3000; East St. Louis, 2979; Moline, 2500. Only 3000 Women Register on East Side. The registration of women voters in East St. Louis Tuesday fell far short of the expectations of the leaders, accord- ng to reports received from the various precincts by George Eckert, clerk of the Board of Election Commissioners, Wednesday. In 30 precints of the 43 in the city from which reports were available, Eckert said the total registration of women wads 2147.

GETS FOR ALT. & 7. CHARGES Manager of Local Telephone Company Testifies Before State Utilities Commission. COUNSEL IS~ A. WITNESS He Says the Bell Is Not in Posi- tion to Raise Point of State Right to Fix Rates. Attorney H. Harris, general coun- sel for the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Co., in the St. Louis rate hearing before the Missouri Public Utili- ties Commission, at the Planters Hotel, Wednesday, told the commission that there was a serious legal question as to the right of the Missouri! Public Utilities Commission to regulate telephone rates in St. Louis. He based his statement on‘the fact that the company supplies service to East St. Louis, and that a part of its equipment is used in interstate business. He admitted, however, that the com- pany was in no position to raise the cuestion because it had appealed to the commission for permission to raise its rates. Chairman Atkinson arranged for a meeting in the afternoon of engineers and accountants of the commission and the company with the commission to de- termine a plan for separating the prop- erty to enable the Missouri commission to find a basis for fixing rates in St. Louis. William J. Hiss, general manager of the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone Co., delivered the company’s defense of the arbitrary charge of 46 per cent of the gross reve- nue of the local company paid to the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., which owns the stock of the local com- pany. ‘There is no question in my mind that the company gets value received for the 444 per cent,” he said. Services Enumerate 1. Hiss enumerated the following as the services performed by the A. T. & T. Co., for the 4% per cent: The use of telephone instruments, including the maintenance of the Instruments, engi- neering advice, organization advice, ac- counting advice, financial support, ex- pert advice along commercial lines, le- zal advice and the furnishing of re- perts of telephone cases before commis- sions and courts. He said if the local company needed funds it could get them at a fixed rate of interest which did not change and was not increased in times of financial trouble. Hiss did not go into any detail to show service which actually had been per- formed by the A. T. & T. for the local company, but devoted his_ statement generally to covering services, which, he said, were included in the return re- ceived by the loeal company. Furnishes All Instruments. Hiss said that the A. T. & T. Co. fur- nished for the 4% per cent all telephone instruments used by the company and maintains them. In addition, the A. T, & T. furnishes 3 per cent of the number in use as a stock to be used as needed. Another service performed, he said, was that the A. T. & T. takes care of all patents on equipment used by the local company, and attends to all legal mat- ters connected with them. He told of the scientific studies made by engineers of apparatus, the idea be- ing to improve them. Hiss said that the telephone companis? in Cincinnati and Providence, although not owned or controlled by the A. T. and T., voluntarily paid it 4% per cent of their gross revenue for the same serviges received by the local company. Chairman Atkinson of the commission asked: ‘Is their stock owned or con- trolled by the Western Electric Co.?’’ Hiss replied that it was not. Commissioner Kennish asked Hiss te explain the company’s pension system, and, after that was done, Kennish brought out the fact that the charge of 4% per vent formerly was a straight rental for telephone instruments. Change in Charge Basis. Hiss said that prior to 188 the A. 7, and T. charged $7 per instrument per year, and that in 182 a change from an instrument basis charge to a per cent of gross revenue charge was made. He said the change was put into effect py “mutual agreement.’’ Hennish made the point that until] 196? the charge had been considered only a réntal of instruments, but Hiss said he thought it included the other services which he said were now included. - Commissioner Atkinson brought from the witness that the A. T. & T. com- pany is an operating company and a holding company, and through its own- ership of the stock of the Western Elec- tric Co., a manufacturing company, the Western Electric manufactures and sel]s to the A, T. & T. and its subsidiaries the apparatus they use. General Manager Testifies. William J. Hiss, general manager of the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone Co., was the first witness of the day. Higs gave a history of the invention of the telephone and of the growth of the telephone industry, showing that from the beginning the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Co., which now controls all of the Bell lines of the country, developed and acquired the patents from time to time. Hiss said the first telephone exchange in St. Louis was opened in 1g78, with 4 subscribers. The rate was $50 a year. In 188) the rate was increased to $100 In 1884 the East St. Louis exchange was opened. with 23 subscribers. Up to that time the telephone operator had not received the call directly from the subscriber. The switchboard consist- ed of a board with holes in it. It had something of the appearance of the board now in use. When a call was re- ceived it came to a wall telephone, where it was taken by a boy. He selected from a large number of wires, at the end of each of which there was a plug. Finding a wire of the approximate length of the distance between the S. j holes which he desired to connect, the of two miles of overhead construction in 1914, three miles in 1915 and four miles each year thereafter. He also said that under its franchise the company paid the city 5 per cent of its gross revenue. In 185 the company had 28,000 tele- phones in use in St. Louis; in 1910, 54,000, and in 1913, 67,000. Hiss said that the requirements of the public for better service and the demands of the city for the removal of OCEAN .STEAMEBS. persons perished in the storm and that 1 boats were sunk in the Black Sea. ‘‘WHERE are you going. ay pretty maid?’ ‘To Loftis Bros., 308 N. 6th st., to get a bracelet watch cn credit, sir,’ she said.

To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap. But, as we cannot all have perfect working bowels, we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy is called Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and has}. been on the market for two genera- tions. It can be bought conveniently at any drug store, for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already convinced of its merits buy the dollar size. Its mildness makes it the ideal medicine for children, and it is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in its effect, and genuinely harmless. Very little of it is required and its frequent use doés not cause it to lose its effect, as is the case with so many ether remedies. ‘ynousands can testify to its merits in constipation, indigestion, bilious- ness, sick jheadaches, etc., among them reliable people like Mrs. James R.

HATS OF ALL KINDS FOR SPRING WEAR Pufeles’ store, 620 Washington ave- nue, in announcing the spring opening, is making a special display of the very latest hats for women—the style of hats that will be worn in every civilized city in the world during the coming season. These models are fresh from the boulevards of Paris and the West End of London. They are the designs of such artists as Paul Botret, Mme. Louise and Mme. Georgette—names that are known the world over wher- ever one woman starts the style for an- ether to follow. These models are extreme in height, some extending in the air as high as 27 inches. But that is not the end. The summer hats are to be skyscrapers compared with their sisters that are intended to bloom only in the spring. At the Pufeles opening there is to be found the very latest hat in style and make to fit almost any size pocketbook. The very expensive ones are of the halo kind, and of the bandeaux effect. All women’s hats this year tip up on the left side and almost wholly hide the right eye, on the slant. The angle at which the hat is worn is so pronounced that if a man imitated the tilt of this headgear he would soon earn the name of ‘“Rowdy.”’ But for the woman or miss or girl who does not care for the extremes of the latest styles, the Pufeles store has plenty of the modest types from models of the world’s famous hat makers.

Neither was hurt result of their encounter, though they each landed resounding blows. Their cleverness at blocking ard stopping punches with lowered heail, and their enduring strength in #tanding up under such punches as did get through prevented even the semblance of a knockout. White received a few smacks on the mouth that cut his lps and made them. bieed, byt this was ‘the only visible token ‘of real damage done. It was a clever exhibition of boxing, | but it would have been better had they refrained from doing quite so much clinching. They also did’ some hitting while holdfmg. Transgression of the rules was about evenly divided. . Solsberg Is Better Infighter. When crowding an opponent Sols- hefg comes in with head erect, using hig arms from glove to elbow for blocking blows. White crouches, “crosses his arms in front of his head: and face and depends upon this meth- od to escape punishment. While covering in this manner White :s inflicting no punishment, whereas Solsberg, at his style of defensc, - oftem finds opportunity to counter. , 1 think Solsberg is the better in-fight- er of the two, aided by the fact that he ig stronger, though in the first round of last night’s. bout White had the ad- vantage, but Solsberg more than evened up for this later on at this style. Sols- berg’s straight puncnes are the hardest, but White hooks and swings with more force. White is faster, hits from any angie and at longer range than does | Bolsberg. ae White atarted the first round in egeressive manner and, with hooks and swings, swept Solsberg off his feet and the Brooklyn boy was made to hold, Them it was that White some straight punches, neatly landed, but White bed the round by a margin. Solsberg was alert in the second round, and there was some good boxing, with White getting slightly the worst of it. Both did some hitting. while holding. There was some good in-fighting.

LOUIS BOY I MAKING COD FO BROWN'S FEDERALS Joe Mathes, a Local Product, | _ Gives Great Promise as a Second Sacker. —| From a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. MONROE, La., March 18.—Joe Mathes, a St. Louis boy, who got his start in the Union Association, stands out as one of the most promising players in Mordecal Brown's flock of Federals who are en- camped here. Mathes was transferred yesterday from third to second base and gave such a good account of himself that he probably will tarry at the key- stone bag. Mathes has speed and a commendable ambition to hustle. In the practice tilts so far he has given great promise as a hitter and the consensus of opinion here is that he will be the permanent guard- ian of the middle bag. . Al. Baucher, who was first introduced as a second sacker, has been transferred. to third and is do- ing nicely at the difficult corner. Un- less Brown should snare a more sea- soned performer from the army of plav- ers who soon will be released by the big league clubs, Boucher will remain on the far corner. Infield Sacrifice Fly. Thirty-eight hits were made in yester- day’s practice game, the pitchers mere- ly lobbing the ball over. Brown is in- sistent that the players take things easy as he has another month to remain in training here and he forbade the hurlers putting “‘anything on the ball’ vester- day. Fred Kommers, Ward Miller and Otey Crandall each garnered four hits, while Edgar Willett collected five out ef as many trips to the pan. A peculiar play was scored in practice game when Ward Miller scored from third base in the seventh inning on a sacrifice fly to the infield, that was handled cleanly at that. Del Drake popped a fly well back of first and Mathes, the second sacker, had to race deep to get the ball. He barely reached it, grasping it with one hand, and was turned with his back to the plate. Ward Miller, who is sliding and running the sacks in good shape, was off instantly and by a marvelous slide evaded Simon, Mij- ler is a good example for the younger ath- letes to follow. Though one of the vets of the squad, he is setting the pace itn the running and sliding, and several of the rookies would do well to imitate him. The recruit pitchers are very amateurish. They failed to cover the bag on infield taps and Del Drake, who covered the initial sack, was constantly coaching them on this point. The catchers also had their hands full with the defects and it is a pleasure to note the interest the old heads are taking structing the juveniles. a en GARDNER’S RUN OF 124 HIGH IN CUE TOURNEY NEW YORK, March 18.—Edward W.

RICKEY’S intensive cultivation of his baseball talent at St. Petersburg appears to be bearing early fruit, if such treacherous ground as early season figures may be relied upon as a foundation for the belief. Among Rickey’s hobbies, including a host of scientific fads, according to St. Petersburg dispatches, have been sliding He has gone further than any other manager in the game to develop speed on the lines, quick start- ing and hook sliding with either foot. The success of Rickey’s methods seems to be evident from a study of the season’s box scores of games with rival clubs. In 15 games the Browns totalled 49 stolen bases against 21 for opp®%sing teams. Among these were the Cubs, the Athletics, the Car- dinals and the. Louisville teams, Cards Rival the Browns. HE Cardinals, by virtue of one big day, practically tied with the Browns on their respective stealing re- sults. But against other:teams Huggins’ men have not done so well. The Browns, however, have shown consistent ability to get around the sacks, in the early games. It may not spell first division, Elsie, but it is the first step forward. * ad e What! 3 Second Division Teams! HILE fans in St. Louis are labor- ing under the delusion that Miner Brown has the making of a strong, first- division club in the Federal list, with possibly a one, two team, the cruel out- side critics are already consigning us to the second division, Here is the way one Eastern critic fig- ures out the Federal League race, from the clubs’ rosters as given out: Chicago. Baltimore. Brooklyn. Pittsburg. Buffalo. Indianapolis. St. Louts. Kansas City. Help! Isn’t this St. Louis cellar crowd- ed enough, without jamming a third party into it’ * * * There’s a Reason Why. UR own selection is a trifle differ. ent.._We would place the finish about ke thin —/ along with our }OTHER major League clubs. | which burg, Baltimore, Buffalo, Indian- apolis, Kansas City. But this finish is not based on any lineup; it’s a conjecture based on the Federal League’s necessities. It Is absolutely essential to survival that the local Feds finish one, two, three. It is also mecessary that the teams paralleling the major league cir- cuits, stand well in the race, and these will include Brooklya, Pitts- burg and Chicago. The rest of ths bunch may run where they will, so they keep out of the league’s front yard. r : Making It Permanent. The local Feds are constructing their grand stand so. that it CAN BE TURNED INTO A CONCRETE STRUC- TURE NEXT YEAR without demolish- ing it. This means the local Feds have come to stay, at least in their own minds. And to stay, Miner Brown will have to put winning cards on the table. NOW can you pick the St. Louis Feds tc run SEVENTH? Outlaws Getting Wise. [Pp RESIDENT GILMORE has called] off his threatened raid on organ- ized baseball clubs. No players under contract are to be taken, it is now de- clared. It’s a wise man who avolds pulling down his hous¢ about his own ears. * a What’s Become of the Traders? NE of the missing features of the baseball world this year, dating from the famous attempt to transfer Tinker to Brooklyn, has been the AB- SENCE OF BASEBALL DEALS be- tween organized clubs. Many trades have been projected, but few consummated, for the simple rea- son that a guarantee of delivery of the player has in each case been demanded. Attempted transfers, it was feared, would result in the loss to the Federals of many stars. e *. * What Will Happen in April?

New York Boxers Must Be Under 40 and Over 18, Commission States NEW YORK, March 18.—A-rule barring any man over 40 years of age from en- gaging in a public boxing match in this State was issued today by the New York State Boxing Commission. The rule sup- plements the previous rule that conestants must not be less than 18 years old. 3. Hedges still has over # men and is reluctantly considering the necessity of cutting down to 25, the legal limit, within a few short weeks. As soon as the ax is wielded the Federal League will step in and grab all the desirable discarda, thus sting- ing both the major leagues, which would like to plant the promising men, and the minor leagues, which have been rely- ing on this surplus talent to strengthen their own clubs. : The impossibility of carrying the big rosters throughout the season is evi- dent; and sooner or later the Federal League bogey man will get them.. The condition makes for good in One way—it enables a lot of recruits to get more thorough spring tryouts than would ordinarily have been the Brownies Hit Hard and Run Wild Against Connie Mack’s Recruits ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 18.— The Browns Kids swiped five bases yes- terday and walloped the Yannigan troupe of Connie Mack’s squad, 15—3. Fourteen hits were amassed at the ex- pense of Mack’s kid pitchers. Snedecor, showing at first, led the way with a double and two singles. Yale Y. Sloan collected a triple and a single, besides stealing one base. The Mackmen made nine miscues, making the Browns’ task exceedingly easy. Dennis Willie, the former Cardinal player, who is touted as the most likely looking young outfielder picked up by Connie Mack this season, went hitless yesterday. Dennie coaxed one pass out of four times up, but perished on first after once reaching there. Cards Fail to Hit. ST. AUGUSTINE Fla., March 18.—Miller Huggins’ regulars could collect only six hits in a regulation game here yesterday, finding the shoots of Dan Griner and Dick Niehaus very puzzling. Jack Miller broke loose with a triple and single, topping the swatters, while Wilson, Whitted, Snyder and Butler contributed the other safeties. The Regulars managed to win. 6—4, as Hagerman and ‘than Bob Groom, and } } ) | ; Hopper held the Yannigans to three hits. Ivey Wingo still is numbered among: the missing, but is expected before this week end. Huggins has Magee’s word for it that Wingo is in good shape, and will need little conditioning, and for that reason the mite mangger isn’t worried about the absence of his star receiver. Mahager Clarke of the Pirates says he has fount in Irving Kantlehner, a big left-* rFander recruited from the league, a successor to Rube Robinson, whe © was released to the Cardinals. Kantlehner was known as the ‘‘strike-out king’’ of the Pacific Coast last season and already is as- sured of a permanent berth with the Pi- rates, Griff Has Prize in Shaw. Clarke Griffith, the sly fox, thinks he has discovered in Jim Shaw a pitcher better who jumped to the local Feds, Shaw is the prize of the Nationals" squad of rookies and is tipped to make ygood from the start.

Crow, representing the Post-Dispatch, will appear Thursday before the Judiciary Com- mittee of the Senate in Washington to urge the adoption of Sena- tor James A. Reed’s concurrent :resolution to confiscate the Mer- chants’ Bridge by the rvernatent | for violation of its charter provisions. Senator Reed introduced the EEE June 10, 1912. It demanded the forfeiture’ of the Merchants’ Bridge charter: and the confiscation of the bridge because the charter granted to the bride* company by the Government provided the bridge should never be consolidated with any other bridge, nor its earnings pooled with that of any other bridge company. It was charged in the resolution that the Merchants’ Bridge had been pur- chased by the Terminal Railroad Asso- clation, waieh also owns the Eads Bridge ami the Wiggins ferries, mareby LIVED IN ST, LOUIS THIRTY-FOUR YEARS One of the City’s Old Residents Makes the Following State- ment About Plant Juice. Mr. B. Gindra, who lives at 1328 Hickory street in this city and who has been a resident here for thirty- four years, has the following ” say about Plant Juiee: . “I suffered for a long’ time with stomach trouble and nervousness and was full of malaria and gen- erally run down. I had tried a good many things before I began, using but none of them seemed to do me any good. I noticed that Plant Juice was highly recom- mended by the best people in St. Louis and thought I would try it. I know now that they have not praised it too highly, for it certainly has done me a world of good. I am glad to add my recommendation to the rest.” Plant Juice eradicates all malaria from the system, cleanses the blood ‘of all impurities and poisons, tones up the stomach and digestive or- gans, stimulates the liver into ac- tion corrects constipation. It invigorates, vitalizes and strengthens the entire body and puts it into healthy, normal condition. *Those who suffer with indigestion, sour ‘stomach, poor circulation, Bilosnaea, hot flashes, dizzy spells, malaria, headaches, pains abros the back and in the ts, are nervous and restless and do not sleep well, will find in Plant Juice just the thing they have been looking for.

Assembly Approved ineeclution. The Municipal Assembly of St. Louis, June % 1912, passed a resolution re- questing the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives to pass Senator Reed’s res- olution. This action of the Municipal Assembly officially committed St. Louis to the movement to confiscate the bridge. The section of the bridge charter un- is sought says: “That, whereas, a principal reason for giving authority to build the bridge (Merchants’) herein contemplated, is to secure reasonable rates and tolls for corporations and individuals for passing over same, the St. Louis Merchants’ Bridge Co., or its successors or assigns, shall not agree or consent to the con- solidation of this bridge with any other bridge across the Mississippi River, or to the pooling of the earnings of this bridge company with the earnings of any other bridge company on said river, nor shall any person.who is or may} be a stockholder or director or manager of any other bridge over said river be a stockholder or director or manager of the bridge herein provided for: “Provided that if this provision of this act shall at any time be violated in any of these particulars, such viola- |. tion shall, without legal proceedings, at once forfeit the privilege hereby grant- ed, and said bridge shall become the property of the United States, and the Secretary of War shall take possession of same in the name and for the use of the United States.”’ Charges Specific Violation. Crow will lay before the committee records showing that the Terminal Rail- road Association, in August, 1893, bought & majority of the stock of the Mer- chants’ Bridge Co. and since that time has operated it jointly with the Eads Bridge. Crow will contend that in view of this clear and specific violation of the charter, Congress ought to:confiscate the bridge to the Government, which should operate it as a free bridge. Atthur B. Barrette, who, as a citizen, has been interested in the movement te confiscate the.bridge, went to Wash- ington with Crow also to appear before the Senate committee. The Merchants’ Bridge is said to be worth about $2,000,000 and is used by many of the .railroads of. the Terminal Association for toth passenger and freight traffic. Most of the passenger trains of the Eastern railroad are routed over this bridge to escape the tunnel at the west end of the Eads Bridge. The Merchants’ Bridge charter was granted by Congress Feb. 3, 1887. This act Was amended Sept. 10, 1888, by elimi- nating the word “stockholder,” which mmde it possible for a stockholder in another bridge company to own stock in the Mérchants’ company. The bridge was promoted py the Mer- chants’ Exchange for the purpose of furnishing independent railroads access to St. Louis atid for the further pur- pose of abolishing the bridge arbitrary. The bridge was operated as an inde- pendent bridge for a short time only, but during that time the rates on many classes of traffic were reduced. The Terminal Railroad Association interests, however, succeeded in inducing the managers of the Merchants’ Bridge Co., in direct violation of its charter, to en- ter into an agreement with it and the Wiggins Ferry Co..in 1893 to pool their earnings. Crow will undertaxe to prove their, eyes to the Senate Committee that this act itself was sufficient under the law co! '¢ | cauge the forfeiture of the bridge to the ™~ 1Government. Pooling Arrangement Discontinued. This pooling arrangement continued until the Terminal got contro) of the Merchants’ bridge stock. In 1892 the Merchants’ Bridge Co. received 18.79 per ‘Toent of the earnings of the three compa- ‘inies, and in 1893 fts share was 15.61 per PAGES 13—20.: Merchants’ Bridge Which Government Is Asked to Confiscate in Resolution Before the Senate ST.

In his ar- gument before the committee, Crow will contend that the Government has full power to confiscate the bridge without any legal procedure whatever, and that the Secretary of War, at the direction cf Congress, may legally take possession of the bridge and operate it for the ben- efit/of the Government. Crow said before leaving for Washing- | ton that if the bridge should be confis- | cated, the Secretary of War would take ‘possession of it and appoint either a commissioner or manager to operate it, or place it under control of the engi- neering division of the War Depart- ment. A’ connection between the Merchants’ Bridge, operated as a Government prop- erty, and between the free bridge, ownd “by the city, would open up St. Louis to the freest kind of traffic con- } es Merchants’ Bridge could continue to do so, but it would be free from all monop- olistic conditions.

When history of heroic men are mentioned in the press they should not overlook the names of O'Toole, Hester and Barry, the trio that risked their lives to rescue the working girls at the Southern Hotel. Phelim O'Toole was killed by the explosion of a Babcock, and the other two men are alive today. John Barry is assistant chief in the fire department and Mike Hester is very much alive and lives in the vicinity of Cardinal and Bell avenues, and should never have been let out of the fire department as iong as he was able to slide down the pole.

The autos must be onthe watch lest they hit us. It’s their funeral Magbe it’s our funeral just now. But the ninety and nine in every hundred, who do not own autos, ere going to demand that autos assume all risk frem their operations or keep off the streets, We shall not and we will not be kept in constant ter- ror lest we be struck by machines owned by the favored few and which are run either for pleasure or for the benefit of the privileged classes which now wrongfully assume they are the penple.

That danger towered over the ruins in that tottering wall was evident to any bystander. It would be an easy matter—as easy as cruel—to blame the Building Commissioner for the loss me life beneath the wreckage when it fell. He had erringly permitted the seed company to open its building. Yet the responsibility was divided. The Fire Chief also and the police might- have kept the seed company premises empty while they worked. It is so easy, so cheap, to lay blame on this man or that man—if lay- ing blame is the object. But let us reflect sympathetically that men are mortal, even as mortals may be heroes—and had that puff of hurricane come from another quarter of the compass it might have buried the Building Commissioner himself, who was risking bis own life with that of his workers in the search for bodies. It might have fallen as well upon brave firemen and patrolmen assisting at the task. Had the elements been kinder, had the searchers won in the gamble with danger, the wall would have been pulled down this morn- ing; the preparations were set. The proprietors of the seed company like wise gambled with death—as men do constantly for the sake of daily bread. It was the one time of year most important to them and their trade —their harvest. Everybody hoped, believed, that the wall would stand until it could be pulled over with less danger. Nobody knew it could not stand until today—else there would have been no such story to tell. The story might have been different—perhaps a story of crushed work- men and officials searching the fire ruins for the tbeloved dead. Blaming particular men for the common stupidities of humanity beneath the shadow of great tragedies is as futile and blind as blam- ing the Deity. But this, like every other tragedy caused by carelessness or stupidity, should decrease the chances of similar tragedies in the future. = - i i DON’T SHOOT -EDITORS.

Crippled children in St. Louis have been made a subject of investigation by the School Board. Its annual report shows 260 such children in city schools, 45 of whom had not been in attend- ance prior to the board’s inquiry into their needs, Fifty of the 260 suffer from disabilities . which cause discomfort in stair-climbing and complying with other conditions incident to attendance. The report estimates that including nonresi- dents undergoing hospital treatment St. Louis has 200 crippled children who do not have the advantages of instruction, of whom 18I could at- tend school if wagons were provided by the board for their conveyance. The needs of these unfortunate little ones are very appealing. The assurance presented in the annual report that their welfare is engaging the earnest thought of the board is creditable to the members and officers of that body. ‘Particularly gratifying is the intimation that further special measures in their behalf are planned and will be undertaken as soon as the board “can do so with justice to other work that must be done.” = & = i Mle al President R. H. Stockton of the Majestic Man- ufacturing Co. announces a St. Louis profit-shar- ing plan based on the Henry Ford plan. With Dr. Eliot at one end advocating the theory and employers at the other exemplifying the practice, an exhaustive test of the profit-sharing formula for labar troubles is promised. —— ae NO EXEMPTION’ IN TREATY. WHY? The interpretation put on constitutions, stat- utes and treaties at the time they were being formulated and adopted has always been held to have high authority in construing them later. While the ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote agreement on the canal was pending in the Sen- ate the following amendment was offered and de- feated by a vote of 43 to 27: The United States reserves regulation and management discriminate in respect of the charges of traffic in favor of vessels of its own citizens engaged in the coastwise trade. Later an attempt was made to read into the treaty a reservation for which the Senate, when it had the power, declined by an overwhelming vote to stipulate. Can that be a strained or unwar- ranted construction which foreign chancellories now base on the Senate’s own interpretation more than a decade ago? What President Wilson insists on is that a reservation shall be read out of the treaty which was wrongfully read in and does not belong there. MONTGOMERY’S BARGE LINE. Montgomery, Ala., had a barge line operating on the Alabama River to Mobile two or three years ago. Why shippers derived benefit from it for only a short time is explained by the Mobile Register. It was granted Mobile wharfage fa- cilities owned by the railroad’, which seemed pre- pared at the start-to welcome it as a “feeder.” But a change came when it was found to be “cut- ting into the railroad business.” The use of the the right in the of the canal to Vea was withdrawn and it was exiled to a : ge ~ the city. That imposed dray- tion hie suspected of being havinsty mile. Bt. Louis is fortunate in having re- of its levee. Expiration at an If the worst comes} : makes possible a splendid system of combined railroad and steamboat terminals under city own- ership. If present citizens and officials are as wise as those of a former generation they will make ad- vance provision for that certain revival of river trade which will follow navigation improvements. A PARISIAN DRAMA. The Caillaux-Calmette tragedy was uniquely Parisian. . It was theatrical in the highest de- gree—a drama in real life with an admirably selected cast and a skillful stage setting. The wife of the Finance Minister of France goes to the office of Figaro and shoots the most dis- tinguished editor of Paris to protect ‘her hus- band from scandalous newspaper revelations. In the background is the divorced wife of the Finance Minister supplying personal letters of her successful rival and intimate details of social scandals to the newspaper editor. And Paul Bourget present to write the story of the climax and the leading actress fainting on the stage at the news of the death of her friend. Here were the two political enemies, the eternal feminine—the second woman and the avenging wife—always inextricably entangled in French politics, the fainting leading lady and the analytical novelist. What revels of psy- chology, sociology, sexology; what dissection of character and motives; what revelations of the social labyrinth of Paris we shall have! But what an exposure of the baseness of French journalism and French politics. It sug- gests that French immorality has reached the epic stage. = = = ~~ ww eS ~ THE FAYETTE LYNOHING. Dallas Shields, victim of a mob at. Fayette, was evidently a trouble-maker, but there must be no surrender to the spirit of lynch law in Missouri. The offense against the peace and dignity of the State should be promptly and vigorously dealt with. State and local authorities should co-operate in measures that will vindicate law and order and deter mobs everywhere from taking justice into their own hands. = = * i ai A A GOOD CHARTER FINISH. “Y am going to tell the Post-Dispatch to quit writing editorials about the charter or we never ‘will finish it,” remarked Freeholder Rowe in a debate over a Post-Dispatch suggestion. “ We do not want to delay the work of the Board of Freeholders any longer than is necessary to get a first-class charter. But if delay comes on account of good suggestions from any source we are sure the people will approve it. The particular Post-Dispatch suggestion, which was adopted, that a way be opened for the city to employ the best available talent and _ skill broadens the charter and makes for efficient mu- nioipal work. | We all want the charter finished, but we want above all a good finish. = = — KEOKUK DAM AND CONGRESS. The hope of legislation at this session insuring for the public a larger share of the benefits from the Keokuk gam has practically been abandoned. This does not mean that Congress is indifferent ta the problem or that it is making no effort for a solution. On the contrary, there is evidence that the facts brought out by the Post-Dispatch as to‘this power installation and the similar con- ditions under which other large installations are operated have made a decided impression at Wash- ington. -A comprehensive scheme of river reg- ulation and water- “power control is a “not immediately, but soon.’ A well-considered scheme of the sort, so wise- ly framed as to need no modification for years to come, will be worth waiting for. There is a happy medium between conditions so restrictive and unreasonable as to discourage power de- velopment and conditions that give all benefits to water-power monopolies. An arrangement enabling a monopoly to fiz the price of the cheaply produced hydro-electric pow- er on the basis of the cost of coal and of power developed in steam plants is an imposition on the people who own the rivers and will not be tolerated. _ — FUTURE OF THE EXPRESS COMPANIES. The amendment to the parcel post rules _ per- mitting crates of from 20 to 50 pounds contain- ing butter, eggs, fruits, vegetables, poultry and other articles to be shipped through the post- office will further handicap the express com- panies. Heretofore, they have had no competi- tion in this class of business. And there appears to be more than a possibility that the weight limit by parcel post will be raised to at least 100 pounds. The future existence of the express companies evidently lies in meeting the Government compe- tition. Can they do so? Ever since the express companies have existed they have successfully competed with the Gov- ernment in the transmission of money and in the igsuance of money orders. Between 15,000,000 and 20,000,000 money orders are issued by ex- press companies for their customers per annum on an average. This shows that in this brancl? of business they have given the public such good service as to command confidence to an extraor. dinary degree. It should be a pointer on the kind of service that will make for success along other lines. This is a vast and growing country. Its com- merce may be gaid to have almost infinite possi- bilities of growth. The express companies have done a business of between $115,000,000 and $120,- 600,000 annually. They can doubtless retain a very large part of this business and even make progress by adopting the right methods, meeting the Postal Department on its own ground, through efficiency; promptness, low rates and ecnstant attention to the needs and requirements of the shipping public. i i ~~ A Cry From Texas.

A young gentleman in New York is fiatly saying that he is not engaged to any of the President’s daughters, much ar he would like to be. It is customary in such cases for the gentleman to say nothing. Why this is so, we do not know. It is supposed in some light-thinx- ing quarters that to deny an engage- ment is ungallant upon the part of a gentleman. It isn’t anything of the kind. To deny it in the frank and respectful manner of the young man in New York who says he is-not engaged to, any of the Fresident’s daughters, is the height of gallantry. It spdres the young lady or her family the ordeal of denying :t. Our hat is off to the young man in New York who says he is not engago4 to any of the President's daughters. Nene of them, so far as we know, has done as well as she would do if she were engaged to a clear thinker like that, He has the uncommon courage and mental clarity of Papa himself.

A London dispatch by Marconi wire- less to the New York Times imdicates that the verse of Ella Wheeler Wil- cox is appreciated in England and has Ac- cording to this authority, King George and Queen Mary, accompanied by Prince Albert, visited the handsome new building of the Young Men’s Christian Association headquarters in London, Thursday evening, and almost the first thing to attract the Queen’s notice was the following verse, hung in a promi- nent place in the sécretary's office, “It is easy enough to be pleasant When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the man who will smile When everything goes dead wrong.” “That's a very good sentiment,” said the Queen to the King and the Prince. “Capital!” replied the King. “It reminds me of the first rule in the navy—'‘Al- ways keep your hair on.’” The naval catch-phrase for the admirable quality of cheerful self-possession is not as elegant as the Badger girl’s verse, but it is pleasant to know that his Britan- nic majesty and Ella Wheeler Wilcox are a unit in favor of “the smile that won't come off.”’ ee JUSTICE FOR BRIDEGROOMS, from the Chicago Record-Herald. Can anything be done to bring the bridegroom up to the plane he really deserves to occupy? At most weddings he is subordinate—one might almost say, ancillary. Accounts have been known to omit his name, If he figures in a photograph it is as a negligible object behind the bride’s veil and bouquet. A Kansas newspaper has found a way to change all this. It seems to have re- called the pictorial publication of tlaras and other bridal gear. Nothing ts more specifically feminine than a tiara. What feature of the groom's outfit would be as saliently masculine? Nothing could be more so than his galluges. Accord. ingly the Kansas editor published a pho- tograph of the new husband's “‘striking- ly handsome pair of suspenders.” Here is fair play for the bridegroom, and per- haps the turning of the tide. In future the other half of a new “domestic sketch” may get the attention he tg en- titled to. Locking the Stable Door. From Memphis News-Scimitar.

PeSSS SSCSSEE SS in T-DISPATCH _ A Fable for Parents By George Edward Streeter. HOMAS BOOKMAN, Ph. D., was one ef those exceeding clever men—short and stouf, spectacied and bewhiskered—who find it difficult to make both ends meet. As a private tutor he forced the old Greek and Rom- an Gown the small throats of the young, ho were much more eager for dinner f fhan for the classics. ' | Eiverything about Mr. Bookman was , Gingy and melancholy. The world in which he Iived was surrounded by cred- itora, who merely knew him as a debtor to be continually carried forward in their books. His children looked upon him as a man of mystery, woefully deficient in emall change; while his wife realized that he possessed real ability and no in- come to speak of. The only oasis in the Sahara of the Bookman family was Lucretia, the eld- est of the six daughters. She was an eminently practical girl. One day she Paid to her father: “T have long been thinking of our position, and it seems to me that unless something is done at once we shall starve. There are six of us giris, and not one earning a cent. I have had an offer of marriage from Fred Harria, our baker.”’ “What?” gasped Mr. Bookman, horror- struck. “Yes, father; our baker. He fs not a literary man, but he has a good busi- ness. If I marry him, you will lose both a daughter and a creditor. I think the other girls would do well to marry gro- cers, or butchers, or even mechanica—if not out on strike, of course.” “This is terrible!’ exclaimed the Ph. D. “What madness has seized you, my daughter?” . “No madness, father; I am talking plein sense. Listen to me for a minute You know that we have never been overfed, though perhaps over-educated. I will never marry a man connected with either education or literature. I have decided to marry Mr. Harris, and, if I want to read Plato afterward, I shall be able to do s© near a good warm stove.” “But, Lucretia, Socrates says'’—— “Bother Socrates, father, and all his tribe!” rejoined the young woman. “He would be arrested as a vagrant in these days. Fancy the poor old man stopping people on the streets and asking their ._ opinion on the tariff, bimetalism, or the “¥iltpinos. Mother says she is willing to have me marry the baker, for it means unlimited bread and cake for the Book- man family.” " Jer a minute or two Mr. Bookman was silent. He was thinking deeply, and along a line of thought that was new to him. “IT am becoming interested {in what you say, my dear,” he finally remarked. “But bread and cake are not the only neomsaries. Only this morning your raother tola me we are in need of coal Age “Well, father, before next winter comes, Jennie may marry young Hart, the coal merchant of South street; he has called on her three times this week.”’ Father and daughter continued the eenversation for more than an hour thet dull March afternoon. Mr. Book- - Man began to see things in a differ- “gant light, and gave his consent to Lu- Pcretia’s marriage. That bright young woman urged her sisters to keep a sharp lookout for business men, and before the month of April was over she led the way by marrying Fred Harris. In June, Jennie married the coal mer- chant; end Lucinda, the second girl, be- came the wife of George Ross, a neigh- boring butcher. Things looked brighter for the Bookman family. When the next winter set in, the private tutor’s house- hold included only himself and his wife, with three unmarried daughters, one of whom, Margaret. married a wholesale | grocer at Christmas. In discussing with his wife the great change fn the family’s affairs, the head of the house thus expressed himself: “You see, my dear, how much we are indebted to Lucretia’s practical mind. If my father had insisted on me be- coming a blacksmith, or a shoemaker. he would hav been wiser; and I, no ccubt, would now be better off. Think of the years I have spent in trying to lead the youth of this town around the mosa-covered Parthenon, getting only small fees in return. But we are now ccnnected with trade, and although I am no politician, I appreciate a fren breakfast table. Just listen to this little verse I wrote - this afternoon: “Bducation is no good To take the place of dally food, ~ Fralf a loaf and a level head Are better than learning without any bread!"’ “Beautiful,” said Mrs. Bookman, “and r0 true!’’ (Copyright, the Frank A.

TIME limit on courtships—that’s the latest attempt to boom the matrimonial market in Massa- chusetts. A bachelor tax bill is already before the State Legislature, and to it will be added a proviso that no Bay State courtship be permitted to last more than two years. After that a man must pay for the privilege of remaining unmatried, for it will be assumed that his attentions conceal no _ intentions. Whatever action the State may take, the girl of today refuses to wait indef- finitely for a proposal. Like Alexandra Salisbury, the hero- ine of Kathleen Norris’ latest novel, “The Treasure,” she puts a time limit on her courtship by naively declaring herself to her bashful swain. And little Miss Alexandra can scarcely be- lieve that her grandmother kept her grandfather waiting three months be- fore she would even answer his hum- ble plea. Assurediy the whirligig of time brings its revenges! “Certainly I believe a girl should ask a young man what his intentions are after a reasonable period has elapsed,”’ Mrs. Norris told me. “Two years is an exceedingly gen- erous allowance of time for the oot In the Old Days Father Suitor on His Way, but He Hasn’t the Privileges He Used to Enjoy. | poses of courtship. Personally, I think six months is long enough be- tween the first meeting and the mar- riage day. If a young man calls two or three times a week during that period, he and the girl come to know each other sufficiently well to de- termine whether or not they wish to marry. And if at the end of six months of constant attention the young man does not speak, the girl is perfectly justified in taking the in- itiative. “A time limit on courtship is not such a new thing,” the novelist continued. “Formerly it was imposed by the father of the girl in the case. He felt it to be not only his right but his duty to ask the intentions of the youths who called on his daughter. Often he didn’t stop with that question. “I remembér miy grandmother telling me of a certain young man who had been to her house several times an‘ whom she invited to Sunday dinner. At the dinner table her father turned to the boy and flatly inquired what was bia income. The young fellow admitted §8 a week, or something like that, and my great-grandfather flercely demanded how he dared to call on his daughter!’ “But the modern father wouldn’t dare ask such quetsions,’’ I submitted, “and Sent the Diiatory| crpeaage ~, ~ vi el mE Les my eo SEEN with A PRETTY GIRL BuT HE DOESNT MARRY navn 3 2 RO RB NSO Ae A oe Tths “Ow whl. 60 To 4 Skow * ($ MORE SHAME THAW ASitué WIM TO MARRY nana if he did both daughter and the younz man would show father his place and put him in it.’’ “Exactly,’”’ agreed Mrs. Norris. ‘‘Then since the modern girl won't allow the responsibility of her marriage to rest on anyone else, she shouldn’t hesitate to shoulder it herself. ; “There’s no doubt but that the mod- ern man is less eager to marry than the man jn my grandmother's day. That is because the modern woman is less necessary to the young man, ahd there- fore he has adopted the coy and reluct- | company of a pretty girl, and that’s all. Now, why should the, girl permit such trifling? Why should ‘she not tell him candidly that unless he wants to marry her he’d better go about his business and give someone else a chance? . “The expense of modern courtships may make some men reluctant to marry. The time was when two young persons did their courting over the back fence, or on the parlor sofa, or coming home from Sunday night prayer meeting. Perhaps there were rare rash plunges into the feverish dissipation of ice cream parlors. But now opera tickets, suppers and orchids are the proper aids to court- ship. “Many a modern young man spends before marriage, on flowers, canéy and theater tickets, most of what he must spend after marriage on the sheer ne- cessities of life. The girl he marries is given such a wrong idea of her future. Therefore, her adjustment to it ts par- ticularly difficult.’’ -— ant role.

Where a man looks at it in that light, we cannot blame a woman for ex- periencing a sense of resentment and shame, and no doubt there are millions of such cases. Marriage is a protection for the indi- vidual, whether man or woman, for tho church, for the state and for the race. Strange enough, we do not find men writers inveighing against marriage as an institution, and they are not clamor- ing for free love or polygamy or free divorce. It is the women writers who do this. Nevertheless, there {!s occasion for some alarm in the fact that men are avoiding matrimony. The most common reason cited for this is the high cost of living, but love in a cottage is just as sweet and desirable as ever it was. The real reason is probably selfish- ness on the part of the man who does not wish to give up his freedom, his pleasures and his bachelor comforts and luxuries in exchange for what to his mind is, to say the least, an uncer- tainty.—John Horace Lockwood in tha coat coer tonsa NE reason why marriage is $9) generally condemned by women PN eee oe mee te CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

T is rarely possible to do much with old artificial flowers, but sometimes the foliage may be massed with new buds or blossoms and will do for a hat which is to be worn only occasion- ally. I always advise my clients to beware of cheap flowers, and to buy any sort of trimmings in preference to them; not because the other things are prettier or more fashionable, but be- cause the best of flowers are injured by the sun, the rain and the dust, and after a few weeks of continuous wear, begin to look tawdry, says a milliner in the Mother’s Magazine. The woman who pays $5 for a Milan or $10 for a leghorn has a hat of so smart shape that it will require scarcely any trimming, may probably be worn in that state for two successive seasons, and thereafter be several times ee ee over TN em FRECKLES February and March Bring Out Unsightly Spots.

If your mother knew that you bought her a present with the money you earned, she would value it more, and it would please her also.” “T do not know what to do,” replied Clarence, surprised that his father should suggest such a thing. “I will give you a start,” sald the father. ‘The lawn needs to be cleared of the dandelions. I will give you 5 cents a dozen, and then you must be wide awake and look for more work; that is the way men have to do.” The next morning Clarence began his work on the lawn, but the sun was 50 hot that he gave it up at lunch time. “Hlow many 4id you get today?” asked his father that night. “T took two dozen out this morning,” replied Clarence, “but the sun was 60 hot I 4id not work this afternoon.” “Tere is 10 cents,”’ replied his father, ‘but you should have kept on and made 2. Working when you feel like it is not the way men get on in the world.*’ The next day Clarence decided to keep on with his work in spite of the sun, ad while he was working 4 man with vegetables stopped at the gate. “Going to sell your dandelion greens?” he asked. “If anyone wants to buy them,”’ Clar- ence answered, wondering what he meant. ‘tiow many heve you?” asked the man. Clarence thought of the two dozen he had dug the day before and the small basket which he had was full, so he an- swered: “I have two basketfuls.”’ “Y’ll give you 5 cents for this basket- ful,” said the man, showing a basket much larger then Clarence’s. “Tt will take me all the afternoon to fll that,’’ said Clarence. “T’l] come back for them,” said the man. Clarence worked all day without stop- ping, for he wanted the extra 5 cents, and when hia father came home he told him that he had sold the dandelions and cleared the lawn. “That is the way to do,”’ said his fa- ther. “‘You must keep your eyes Open, for they make the dollars, and you must not be afraid to work.” ‘What can I do now?’ asked Clar- ence. ‘I have finished the lawn.”’ ‘That is for you to find out,” his fa- ther replied. “Men have to find work as well as do it. Look around and do not be afraid to do anything that ig hon- est.’ The next morning Clarence sat on the steps wondering what he could do to ear” more money for his mother’s pres- OTHER’S birthday is this month,” Clarence said to hs father one night. “I sha.! want some money to get her ons of the neighbors was tefiing: his mother that the man who was to clean her rugs had not come as he promised, and her plans for cleaning were upset. “Will you let me try?’ asked Clarence. “If they are not too large, I can clean them, I am sure.” The neighbors were giad to have him do them, and he cleaned them go well that another neighbor hired him the next day. The man that had done the rug clean- ing in the neighborhood went to work in a store, and Clarence took his work. When his mother’s birthday came he bought her a eiiver tea ball and had some money left. The present was just what his mother wanted, but she told him she would never use it or see it without remem- ybering that her son bought it with the first money he earned. When vacation was over Clarence had to give up part of his work, but he had become so interested in working and earing his own spending money that he worked every Saturday morning. Every vacation after that he helped the neighbors with their cleaning. “And the best of it is,” said the mother, ‘he Goes not seem ashamed when his boy friends see him working.” Two of Clarence’s friends started to do the same work in the neighborhood where they lived, and they all agreed that earning your own spending money was much more satisfying than having your father or mother give it to you.

Only two nights ago we were sitting in the par- lor and I held her hands for three hours. If I had let go she would have killed me. I don’t want you to think that I don’t love my, wife. I love her because, in the first place, she comes-of a very aristo- crooked family. One of her uncles is a. retired bank president—a Judge retired him. for eight years. And then again she’s very sensible with regard to dress. She doesn’t believe in those crazy styles that most of the women are affecting nowadays. I refer to those “Who left the cellar door open?” skirts and all those crazy styles. Say, do you know this dress question is going to extremes? How about those ankle watches that the women are wear- ing? I think that’s terrible. Can yeu, in your wildest moments, picture a niée, jolly-looking, fat lady in the middle: of Kroadway bending over to wind up one of those ankle watches? However, to return to my story, this girl was very fond of me; she loved me because I was so good to her. One night [ took her out and I spent a dollar and o half on her—freely! I would have spent more than that, but that’s all she had. So I sald to myself, “IT will marry this girl, not because I love her g0 much, but because I am out of work anyway.” So I called on her one evening and I had a bouquet of flowers in my hand—a beautiful bunch of “forgivé-me-nots.”’ And’ I got busy i!mmediately.’ I looked into her beautiful eyes, and with my ‘ ? . - + ich “4 : see 0ac Directions in 15 languages in every package _ Two sizes: 25 and $1.00. voice just choking with emotion—and love—I saig to her, her Kitten until were were married nine Iam married}. wish to kiss the bride?” he said, that we were just-married.
