Armed with initiative petitions, con- taining the signatures of 61,335 registered voters of St. Louis, the Citizens’ Com- mittee, as spokesmen fur these petition- ers, will have an ordinance introduced in the Municipal Assembly, probably Tuesday night. In this way the issue of one or two elections will be put up squarely to the Municipal Assembly. If two elections are made necessary, en- tailing upon the people the unnecessary expense of one election and the loss of several months’ time in the settlement of the bridge question, the responsibil- ity will be placed on the Municipal As- sembly.

Fietcher, who has been the leader of the Alton & Mississippi forces in the City Councll, told a Post- Dispatch reporter Monday that he would vote for the bill when it was intro- duced. He said that since the initiative petitions had been signed by a suffi- cient number of voters to insure an elec- tion on the Reber approach propositior. he thought it was the duty of the Mu- nicipal Assembly now to act and save the expense and time of two elections. ‘The present session of the Municipal Assembly will not expire until April 23. The Citizens’ Committee is of the opinion that the Municipal Assembly now will yield to the demand of the people for an opportunity to vote bonds to complete the bridge. If the ordinance should not be passed by the Municipal Assembly two elections will be made necessary—one on the initiative ordinance and the other on the bond issue. This delay would make it impossible for the bond issue election to be held before Novem- ber. i The Campaign Committee of the Citi- zens’ Committee met Monday to con- sider plans of procedure.

PHONOGRAPHED Edison on Florida Vacation Suc- ceeds in Obtaining Records _ in the Swamps. | NEW YORK, March 23.—Thomas A. Edison, who haz been on a vacation at Fort Meyer, Fla., for four weeks, can’t stand the “exhaustion” of taking a rest. He has written to his secretary, Wil- liam H. Meadowcroft of West Orange, N. J., that he’s “all tired out” and “longs for the laboratory.’’ He says he will be home next week, although Mra. Edison is trying to force him to stay in the South. With him when he returns will come a unique collection of phonographic rec- ords. Edison is a bird lover, and his companions on his vacation—Henry Ford, the automobile man, and John Burroughs, the naturalist—are bird lov- ers. ° Several weeks ago they set in the un- derbrush of the Florida Everglades ‘ number of machines which could be set in motion by a push button a mile away, their object. being to catch the songs of the shy swamp birds. The experi- ment was successful, and scores o0* strange bird songs were obtained. HE MEANT TO MOVE Roomers in House Say Shooting Followed When He Announced He Intended to Leave. Mrs. Lorine Sanders, 2% years old, shot Archie Noe, 21 years old, a United Railways corductor, and then shot her- self at the house where both lived at a. m. Monday. Mrs. Sanders shot Noe in the back. Then leveling the revolver at herself, she fired, a bullet entering her chest on the right side. Both were believed by ambulance physicians to be seriously wounded and they wefe taken direct to the city hos- pital. Mrs. Sanders shot Noe from behind, the bullet entering his left lung. Then, leveling the revolver at herself, she fired, the bullet entering her chest above the heart. Both were placed in an ambulance and rushed to the city hospital, where phy- sicians said Noe’s condition was serious and that Mrs. Sanders was suffering more from hysteria than from the bul- let wound, which ig a glancing one. Mrs. Sanders, according to a police report, was living apart from her hus- band, A. G. Sanders. Persons in the neighborhood said she conducted the sleeping quarters for conductors and motormen and that apparently she be- came angered when Noe, one of her roomers, told her he was going away. Said Friends Deserted Her. At the hospital Mrs. Sanders told re- porters she became crazed because San- ders had left her three months before and because it appeared all her friends were deserting her. She said neigh- bors had gossiped about the way she conducted the rooming house. Six roomers, she said, had left recently, and when Noe announced he was leaving She lest control of herself. He had Fbeen an intimate friend of hers while he lived there. ~ “YE didn’t intend to kfll him, but Tt did intend to shoot myself,” she said. “We had lived there 15 months. About three months ago he left for Chicago, saying he would send for me. He never sent.” Noe was s0 weak he only could say he had been shot from behind. DIPLOMAT BURNED IN RESCUING A FIREBUG WOMAN PAYS $1 TO RIVAL TO REGAIN HER HUSBAND Man Is “Delivered” to Wife; Judge Says “It Looks Like Throwing Away Money.” CINCINNATI, O.,.March 23.—Mrs. Ju- Ha Steplein received $1 today for return- ing to Mrs. Stella Smith the latter’s hus- band. Mrs. Smith paid the dollar. Mrs. Smith swore out a warrant charging Mrs. Steplein with a statutory offense. “For 50 cents you will give to this woman her husband again—is that cor- rect?’’ “Yes, Judge,’’ replied Mrs. Steplein. “JT will give her a dollar, Judge, instead of 50 cents,” said Mrs. Smith. “It looks to me like you are throwing your money away, but I guess the man ought to be worth a dollar,’’ commented the Judge, who said he thought some money should be paid Mrs. Steplein for her expenditure in keeping the man. The case was settled when Mrs. Step- lein promised to make delivery of the man upon receipt of $1. The “delivery” Was made today. STREET CAR POLL WINS ALDERMAN TO ORDINANCE Chicago Councilman, Against His Will, to Vote for Anti- ~ Ese Smoke Measure.. 3 CHICAGO, March $2. — Much against his will, Alderman George P. Latchford tonight will vote for an ordi- Saturday he told members of the wom- an’s party in his ward he was opposed to the measure because the people of st--ward were against it. “But,” he said, “if you will board a “Halstead street car at Forty-fifth and take a poll of the passengers I will abide by their decision.” Miss Thelia Washick, chairman of the ward organization of the party, accepted the challenge. She polled the passengers of a car Sunday under the eye of the conductor and they stood 19 to 3 for the ordinance. WEDDED 75 YEARS, HAS RETIRED NIGHTLY AT 7 Secretary of Legation at Christ- iana Tries to Carry Out Valet Who Set Blaze. BOSTON, March 23.—F. Monroe Endi- cott, secretary to the American Lega- tion at Christiania, Norway, is’ in the Massachusetts General Hospital, recov- ering from burns suffered in a fire in the home of his sister, Mrs. Franklin Haven. Daniel M. Lacruz, his valet, is alleged by the police to have confesséd tc setting the fire and has been sent to the Psychopathic Hospital for observa- tion. Endicott had been visiting here on a leave of absence. A bundle of burning papers was found outside the door of his room early Sunday. After he had been alarmed by his sister, who discov- ered the fire, he was burned about the feet and hands in trying to rescue the valet.

NIGHT - BINANCIAL MARKETS SPORTS — iTIiON GEROLD RELATIVES HELD FOR SENDING A WITNESS AWAY Ben Gerold and Ray Le Compte Accused of Giving $20 to Man to Leave City. WITNESS BROUGHT BACK He Was Expected to Testify He Was Paid for City Teaming Work ‘by Gerold. Ben Gerold, half-brother of E. Fred Gerold, the former City Treasurer of Kast St. Louis, who is on trial on charges of withholding $50,000 of the city funds and profiting by unlawful con- tracts, Was arrested Monday on the charge of having paid $20 to denry Bur- ton, a witness against Fred Gerold, to feave East St. Louis and remain away during the trial. Raymond Le Compte, e. cousin of Ben Gerold, was arrested with him. He is charged with having raade the actual payment of the money. Gerold and Le Compte gave bond: for $300 each with Justice Boyne, and their hearing was set for April 2. The pun- inshment for sequestering a witness is one year in jail or a $1000 fine, or both. By order of Judge Pope, attachments also were issued against both men, on charges of contempt of court. The arrests were made after Burton, who had gone to Centralia, Ill., was found there and brought back to East St. Louis Sunday by Dan Webb, a brother of State’s Attorney Charles Webb, and after Burton had told, with great reluctance, the story of the way in which he was induced to leave East St. Louis. Hecuser Was a T'eamster. Burton was a teamster, and was eni- ployed in garbage removal. tie was expected to testify, in Gerold’s trial, that he received his pay, $9 a week, di- rect from City Treasurer Gerold, and that he never saw any warrants for the money. The State will undertake to show that Gerold made out warranis in his name, paid money to himself on those warrants, and disbursed a part of this money to Burton in weekly wages, keeping the rest. The garbage teaming contract is one of those which Gerold is charged with having held for his own profit, in the names of ‘“‘dummy” con- tractors. | Burton was friendly to Gerold, and is said to have been a reluctant witness at the time of the grand jury inquiry. Recently State’s Attorney Webb learned that the Sheriff had been unable to find Burton at the stockyards, where he was employed. He then learned, from 2 source which he has not disclosed, that Burton had gone to Centralia. Saturday Dan Webb went to Centralia, carrying a subpena for Burton. He found Burton and brought him back Sunday, keeping him at his home over night. After breakfast he took Burton to the State’s Attorney’s office in the Arcade Building, and there Burton con- sented to make a statement. Tells of Leaving East St. Louis. Burton said that March 4, a few days before the trial began, Ben Gerald visited him at his home and asked him if he wished to “go to the country.”’ He said Gerold mentioned the fact that he, Burton, was a witness against Fred Gerold. Burton said Ben Gerold asked him how much he was earning at the stock- yards, and that he replied he was mak- ing $10 a week. He remarked that if he was to go away, he would like to go to Centralia, as he had relatives there. Ben Gerold then said, according Burton, that he would pay Burton's railroad fare and expenses. Burton went the next day to his boss and ar- ranged to get off for two weeks or longer. Then, Burton said, he met Ben Gerold and Le Compte by appointment in front of the Longfellow School, on Summit avenue. The two were in an automo- bile and they took him in, Burton said. but Gerold remarked that it would no- co for them to appear downtown with him. They rode about a short distance, Burton said, while Gerold. gave him zome instructions about his route, tell- ing him to take a street car as far as Belleville and to go from there by train to Centralia. Burton said Le Compte got out of the machine with him, and handed him $20, and that he took the next car for Belleville, and went on to Centralia, where he remained until Dan Webb found him. , Second Surprise in Week. The witness-fixing charge was the second surprise in a weck in the Ger- old case. A few days ago the former | Treasurer paid back to the city $20,461.45 =" the $50,000 which figures in the charge against him. A civil suit filed against him by. the city of East S&t. Louis for some $26,000, will be dismissed when he pays the balance, which he is expected to do this week. State's At- tarney Webb announced, at the time o the payment, that it would have no ef- fect on tue prosecution, save that it would be cited as evidence upholding the State’s contention.

BLAME Verdict of Accident Is Returned After Inquest Into Loss of 30 Lives. A Coroner’s jury, which for 10 days has been investigating the M. A. C. fire, in which 30 persons lost their lives March 9, Monday returned a ver- dict of accident, and declared it was im- possible to fix the blame because the revised. city code does not make any provision for the regulation of buildings used for club purposes. ““‘We deprecate the fact that our build- ing laws are woefully deficient and sug- gest that the proper authorities lose no time in «passing satisfactory ° Coroner’s verdict states. Cause Can’t Be Determined. The jury concluded the fire started in the east side of the dining room on the third floor. The exact cause, it finds, is still a matter of conjecture. “‘Whether the fire was started by a cigar or cig- arette thrown among the draperies, or whether due to defective electric wiring, cannot be absolutely determined,’’ the jury reported. “So much vhas been said about the possibility or probability of women hav- ing been in the building at the time of the fire that this jury made determined efforts to ascertain the exact status of affairs in this respect,’’ the report con- tinued. ‘“‘From the testimony of almost innumerable witnesses and from the very fact that of the 30 bodies found in the ruins all were males, we are ab- solutely convinced there.were no women | present. And as the dead cannot defend themselves, we feel it our duty to up- hold their honor and integrity in this respect.”’ After an examination of the M. A. C. shell after the fire, the Coroner’s jury reported on the firetrap conditions as follows: The fire escapes, as they were placed or built, did not and could not sufficiently serve the purposes for which they were intended. Wooden doors led to the so-called enclosed fire escape from various floors, proving that the use of the enclosed escape Was very limited. At one time or other fire doors had been placed at the entrances to ele- vators. These, for some reason or other, had been removed, reducing ts efficiency of the elevators in such a calamity. Only Staircase of Wood. A small staircase, leading from the basement to the seventh floor, was of wood.. It was the only stair- way in the building, again rendering escape by such a source practically futile. The building was not of proper construction for sleeping purposes. It was originally intended for a warehouse and as such it should have remained. The Coroner's jury is reasonably cer- tain there was no gas leak at the time the fire started. The rapidity with which the flames spread, enveloping the third and all upper floors almost in- stantly, is credited to the fact there was a tank of carbonic gas connected with the dining room bar and that the va- rious floors were oll-soaked during the hardware company’s occupancy of the building prior to its becoming the M. A. C. New flooring, the jury found, was placed over the old oijl-soaked flooring. The verdict was signed by Coroner Padberg, who personally conducted tne inquest, and by the jurors, Ray Cahill, F. A. Egli, Julius F. Vogel, Thomas D. Henneberry, O. F. Schuchardt and W. J. Wilmes.

MccCluney. The place was offered to Pryor sev- ¢ral days ago, but he could not at once decide to ieave railroad work, in whicn he has been actively engaged for 3 years. A. O. Wilson, bank, said that although Pryor'’s elec- tion as president was effective at once, he bank and his office as receiver of the Wabash until the receivership ends. This, according to information given out from the Wabash offices, will be in the near future, when the reorganization planned has been carried out to meet ell obligations of the railroad. When the Wabash receivership ends, Wilson, said, Pryor would devote his time to the hank, eight years. Pryor, F.;A, Delano and W. K. Bixby were appointed receivers of the Wabdsnh in December, 1911. Delano resigned last fall, to accept the presidency. of the Monon Railroad, and Bixby withdrew in January, because of ill health, leav- ing Pryor the sole receiver. Pryor lives at 6256 Westminster’ place. He is 60 years old and is a native of West Virginia. He was brought up in Palmyra, Mo., and went to work for the Wabash in 1879 as a clerk in the general auditor’s office. The Wabash was then known as the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific. He continued, with the road, advanc- ing to the places of chief clerk, assist- ant auditor, assistant secretary and as- sistant to the president, becoming vicae- president, in charge of the treasury an acceunting departments, in 19%.

Harry Thurston Peck was a writer of note, and for 28 years was professor of ancient languages at Columbia Uni- versity. He left the institution more than three years ago in consequence of unpleasant notoriety incident to a breach of promise suit for $60,000, brought against him by Esther Quinn, a stenographer. Shortly after the filing of the suit, Dr. Peck filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. He gave! his assets as $260. In March, 1912, Miss Quinn’s suit was diamissed as inefficient. Later she filed another action, which was pending at the time of his death. Dr, Peck dropped Oo Fakes” tne ) Flower to Mrs. Wilson. WASHINGTON, March 23.—Sick pale, but with a smile lignting up his face, a boy, 12 years old, lay on @ stretcher in the blue room of the White House early today and beside him sat the President of the United States. The scene was the culmination of weeks of yearning and the kind response of Pres- ident Wilson to the boy’s plea. Harry Winttrop Davis of Sewickley, Pa., paralyzed and said to be slowly dying, was the \’resident’s early caller He came in a motor ambulance and three hospital attendants bore him into the White House. The President came and chatted for several minutes with the little fellow, whose eyes beamed with joy and who was at first too hap- py to speak. Finally he asked about Mrs. Wilson and left some flowers to: | her. The President's eyes were dimmed as he turned away to his day of work and the little boy was carried out on his ani the railroad station and to Atlantic City.

Gallagher at Ithaca, N. Y. He was taken to the city hospital there. His illness, which was said to be incur- able, brought about a strange episode in Dr. Peck’s matrimonial affairs. Al- though he had been divorced in 1908 by his first wife, Mrs. Cornelia D. Peck, kad married Miss Elizabeth H. Dubois in 1910, and was sued shortly there- after by Miss Quinn for alleged breach of promise, his first wife took him to her home in Long Island, where she placed him under Christian Science treatment. During this entire treatment the wom- an who had divorced him, attended to the needs of Dr. Peck and paid his expenses, saying she wanted to restore him ‘to health and return him to the woman who had supplanted her in his affections. To this end she employed Dr. Merwin Turner, a Christian Sci- ence healer, to attend him. Asked Girl te Forgive Him. Prof. Peck was said to have steadily improved under this treatment, until from a condition in which he cotld scarcely speak at all, he got so that he could talk clearly for several min- utes. One month after the treatment was started the first Mrs. Peck re- ported that the professor had improved greatly and that she and Dr. Turner believed the only thing needed to bring about a complete recovery was forgive- ness by Miss Quinn, whose first suit against the professor had been dis- missed on a technicality and whose sece a Mrs. Cornelia Peck thereupon wrote to Miss Quinn explaining Dr. Peck’'s condition and adding that the future of the former Columbia University teacher ‘depends mainly upon a restora- tion of his mental equanimity through “4! the forgoveness of all whom he had‘ ‘HUERTA Y FEDERAL S nhs ad ““Well,”’ said Mr. W., “I see they have launched the biggest battleship again.

Francisco Villa’s spectacular march against Torreon, which began last Friday, and which has been marked by sharp skirmishes, was near- ing an end today. Only a few hacien- das and suburban towns remained be- tween his army of 12,000 and the actual siege of Torreon. : At no point does the rebel leader ex pect to meet strong resistanco, unless it be at Lerdo, a short distance north of Torreon.

Villa, but he does - not believe that any considerable body of soldiers would detach themselves ‘ from the main army in Torreon, more than three miles from the mountains. With the possible exception of the re- ported garrison at Lerdo, a defending party on La Pila would have no sup- port, and Gen. Villa believes it would have to fall back on Torreon after a long range defense with the big guns which are said to be planted on the ‘mountainside. “Villa is confident that only a few more hours and little fighting will pass , preper. before his army is investing Torreon He maintains that his force is sO great as to completely overwhelm ’ any outposts which they may meet be- . fore reaching the city of Torreon, be- lieving that Gen.

WASHINGTON, March 23.—A new treaty has been signed between the United States and Venezuela by which al} questions not capable of settlement by diplomacy shall be submitted to in- vestigation by an international arbitra- tion commission for at least one year.

Mrs. Hemmen disappeared last Tues- day, and since then the woods and marshes around Waukegan have been searched by organized parties of citi- zens, soldiers and school boys.

_- ONE GENERAL FOR ULSTER TROUBLE Asquith Also Declares Gen. Paget’s Statement to His Officers Was “Misunder- stood” and Additional Sol- diery Are Only for Precau- tion and Not Aggression. KING AND COMMONS TAKE CHARGE OF ROW Monarch Is Strong for Con- ciliation and Leaders of Both Factions Explain— Tension Relieved by Gov- ernment’s Assurances. LONDON, March 23.—‘‘Misunderstand- fing” was the keynote of Premier As- quith’s explanation today of the crisis brought about by the resignations of army officers when their regiments were ordered to prepare to proceed to Ulster. Speaking in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister made it clear, how- ever, that officers and men in the Brit- ish army who refused to obey orders in opposition to the enforcement of home rule for Ireland were liable to dis- missal. . Only brief statements have been forthcoming from the Secretary nf War and the Premier and as far as these can be interpreted, the ‘“‘misunderstanding” arose through Gen. Sir Arthur Paget placing a wrong construction on the or- ders given to him by the War Office and telling his subordinates they were to be employed in quelling an uprising fin Ulster. Premier Asquith rose to speak amid % great outburst of cheering. He said that after Mr. Law’s speech it was nec- essary the country should know at once the kind of issue that was going to be presented. No More Troops, He Says. He continued: “As far back as De- cember, last year, general officers of the army were informed it might be their duty to come to the assistance of the civil power and any officers domi- ciled in their area might be excused. If there had been any intention of an ag- gressive move toward Ulster this would have been the last step taken. Ths movements of troops are now concluded. “Sir Arthur Paget has emphatically denied he ever used any such words as ‘that this was the first step in a series of operations to conquer Ulster.’ These words were wrongly attributed to tho Commander-in-Chief in Ireland. “Gen. Paget never received from the War Office any instructions justifying guch a statement. It is an undoubted fact that Gen. Hubert Gough and oth- er officers concerned interpreted their instructions in a wider sense. “The' Army Council is now satisfied there has been a misunderstanding and the officers also are satisfied.” State Secretary Received Illy. Col. Seely, Secretary of State for War, was greeted derisively today during an explanation he gave of the matter. He, doo, said it was a misunderstanding. Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the Op- position, had said “nothing can save the army now, except that a declaration that officers will not be compelled to engage in civil war against their wish.”’ When he said officers refusing to serve against Ulster were only doing their duty, the labor members shouted: “How about strikes?” The entire affair generally is accept- ed as demonstrating that the army can- not be counted upon to fight Sir Ed- ward Carson’s volunteers if such a con- tingency should arise. Tension Partly Relieved. A much easier feeling nas been cre- ated in the British Isles by the reas- suring statement given out by Premier Asquith to the effect that the troop movements in Ulster had been ordered only as a precautionary measure for the protection of Government property. Law Calls It “Paltering.” - Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, declared the Government's procedure Was an amazing instance of paltering with the House of Commons. The dan- ger of the British army being destroyed before the country’s eyes had, he said, come on the Government like a bolt from the blue sky. Letter Says They Refuse to Serve. Mr. Law then read a letter stating that officers who would not fight against the Ulster men would be dis- missed from the service. _ The opposition leader also read a let- ter in which Gen. Sir Arthur Paget had told the commanding officers of regi- ments that active operations were to begin against Ulster and that it was ex- pected the country would be in a blaze by Saturday. The Irish commander in chief wrote he was in close communica- tion with the War Office and had re- celved inatructions from headquarters to notify his officers that those of them domiciled in Ulster would be allowed t» disappear and afterward be reinstated in their positions. They must, however, give their word of honor not to fight for Ulster.

Understood They’d Be Tried. It was to be fully understood thut Brigadier-Generals and other officers avoiding the service on an _ incorrect plea of domicile in Ulster would be tried by courtmartial. This Mr. Law con- tended demonstrated that Gen. Paget disagreed with Premier Asquith, who declared the meastires were only pre: cautionary, while Gen. Paget concluded that he was proceeding to conquer UIl- ster. Mr. Law added: ‘“‘The opposition al- ways has held the view that the coer: cion of Ulster is an operation no gov- ernment has the right to ask the army to undertake and in our view an offi- cer who refuses is only fulfilling his duty.”’ Mr. Law asserted: “It will be diffi- cult for the Prime Minister to convince the House that, with or without his knowledge, some of his colleagues did not make these movements of troops as part of a concerted plan to provoke or intimidate Ulster.” Mr. Law said: 13 “The Government ‘attempting to coerce a portion of the United Kingdom without the authority. of the electorate.” Gen. Paget, Brigadier-General Hubert Gough, commander of the cavalry bri- gade at the Curragh, and other offi- cers attached to the Irish garrisons reached London this morning and im- mediately went to the War Office to confer with Gen. John Seeley, Secre- tary for War, and Field Marshal Sir John French. This conference was fol- lowed by a full meeting of the Cab- inet. Premier Asquith’s Statement. Prime Minister Asquith’s authorized statement is as follows: “First, the recent movements of trops in Ireland were of a pure- ly precautionary character, as it is obvious that the policy of disposing small bodies of troops in Ulster would be perfectly useless from a strategic viewpoint. The intention was simply the protection of the arms and ammunition depots from a possible raid. As for the so- called naval movements, they sim- ply consisted of the use of two small cruisers to convey a detach- ment of troops to Carrickfergus without marching them through Belfast. No further movement of troops is contemplated. “Second, the rumors that war- rants had been issued for the ar- rest of the Ulster leaders never had the very slightest foundation. Doubtless Sir Edward Carson and his supporters honestly believe the rumor, but the Government never has taken and does not contem- plate any such step. “Third, there seems to be a wide- spread impression abroad that the Government contemplates institut- ing a general inquisition into the intentions of officers in the event of their being asked to take up arms against Ulster. No such ac- tion is intended, if only for the reason that the employment of troops against Ulster is a contin- gency which the Government hopes may never arise.”’ : King Urges Conciliation, The dreaded Sunday passed without the slightest disturbance of order ‘n Belfast or in Ulster. But the gravity of the crisis is fully indicated by the fact that the King canceled his engage- ments. The King has thrown his in- fluence on the side of conciliation and seems to have made a personal appeal to the officers, who have resolved to re- sign and is equally exerting his influ- ence with his ministers in the same conciliatory direction. Proofs are not wanting of the desire on both sides that everything possible be done to avoid any chance of con- flicts. RUN ON A DENVER BANK DENVER, Colo., March 23.—Because of rumors concerning the condition 2f ine German-American Trust Co., sev- eral hundred small depositors today be- gan drawing out their savings. Godfrey Schirmer, president of the {/Stitution, said it was in excellent condition, add- ing: “We will pay over money to the depositors as fast as it is requested and meet all 2emands.” The Denver Clearing House Associa- tion pronounces the company solvent, and the same thing was said at the or- fice of the State Bank Examiner. é * * BIR, ns ire 7K Covenant Under Which Ulster Fights Home Rule BELFAST, March 23. LSTER’S covenant, by which J the followers of Sir Ed- ward Carson have banded together to resist home rule for Ireland, follows: “Being convinced in our _ con- sciences that home rule would be disastrous to the material .vell-be- ing of Ulster as well as of the whole of Ireland, subversive of our civil and religious freedom, de- structive of our citizenship and Perilous to the unity of the empire, we, whose names are underwritten, men of Ulster, loyal subjects of His Gracious Majesty King George V. humbly relying on the God whom our fathers in days of stress and trial confidently trusted, do hereby pledge ourselves in solemn cove- nant throughout this our time of threatened calamity to stand by one another in defending for our- selves and our children our cher- ished position of equal citizenship in the United Kingdom and in using all means which may be found necessary to defeat the pres- ent conspiracy to set up a heme rule parliament in Ireland. And in the event of such a parliament be- ing forced upon us we further sol- emnly and mutually pledge our- selves to refuse to recognize its authority. In sure confidence that God will defend the right we here- to subscribe our names. And fur- ther, we individually declare that we have not already signed this covenant.”’ The agreement was drawn up on “Ulster day,’’ Sept. 28, 1912. At the bottom of the covenant, in bold type, is the line ‘“‘God Save the King.”’ Eee $1000 FOR EYE PAINTING Chicagoan to Wear Miniature of Wife’s Optic in Scarf Pin. CHICAGO, March 23.—Ira M.

The Interstate Commerce Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over the regu- lation of interstate railroad rates, it was decided by United Circuit Judge "Adams, Monday. Judge Adams dissolved a temporary injunction restraining the Wabash Railroad from filing new rates for shipments from the Illinois Glass Works at Alton, Iil. Joseph W. Folk, chief counsel for the Interstate Commerce: oCmmission, said that the decision clears the way for the proposed five per cent increase of freight rates on Eastern lines, if the Interstate Commerce Commission grants it, in that it would prevent any shipper from en- icining the enforcement of the increased rates. Judge Adams read a lengthy opinion analyzing the points of law involved, but the decision was not given out in full, as the Judge had had no opportu- nity to correct its text. In substance, however, the decision upholds every point made by Folk when he appeared before the Court, Saturday, to argue on behalf of the commission against the making permanent of an in- junction restraining the Wabash Reail- road from filing new rates that would cancel the present division of through tariffs with the Illinois Terminal Rail- road, a subsidiary to the Illinois Glass Co. ' Judge Adams decided that it was for the Interstate Commerce Commission to decide whether a railroad was an indus- trial line or a common carrier, and for the Interstate Commerce Commission alone to decide, in the first instance, whether a railroad could file new sched- ules “of rates. The Wabash Railroad filed the new rates soon after the Interstate Com- merce Commission decided that certain concessions to industrial lines were in reality rebates and, therefore, improper.

Salts, mineral waters, oils and com- mon laxatives won’t do it. Calomel is dangerous and exhausting. PoDoLax Releases the Bile Popophyllin (common Mandrake or May-Apple Root)—the remedy of our grandparents—is harmless, prompt, positive and thorough. Its bitter taste and gripe have been entirely removed after years of scientific research. The new formula is called ‘‘PoDo- Lax.’’ PoDoLax is so pleasant in taste and action that even children love it. It is guaranteed to relieve and prevent the most obstinate cases of constipa- tion, congested liver, biliousness, in- digestion, dizziness, sick headache, flatulency, loss of appetite, and that ‘*]-don 't-know-what-ails-me’’ feeling. Now that you know that Bile is Nature’s purifier of the food in the intestines, use PoDoLax instead of the usual Jaxative or cathartic.

HER HEARING RESUMED Revelations Due to Assassination Forecast Other Cabinet Resignations. PARIS, March 23.—The reappearance before the investigating Magistrate of Mme. Caillaux, assassin of Gaston Cal- mette, editor of Le Figaro, aroused great interest in Paris today. She was taken from the Saint Lazare Prison to the Palace of Justice in custody of a number of detectives. Strong guards were placed near the law courts to pre- vent demonstrations, Madame Caillaux protested today when she noticed some photographers stationed near the room where the Mag- istrate is conducting his investigemon into the crime. She hid her face in her muff, and later the photographers were expelled from the building. At the hearing Madame Caillaux was confronted by Princess de Masagne-Es- tradere, who had been called in connec- tion with the prisoner's claim that she had shot M. Calmette to prevent tho publication of private letters. A mutiny is threatened among the 80 women incarcerated in the St. Lazare Prison, all of whom object to the grant- ing of many privileges to Mme. Cail- laux. The punishment cells of the jail are filled with refractory women, who continue to shriek protests against ‘‘dis- crimination.’’ Attorneys representing a number of the prisoners awaiting trial in the peni- tentiary made representations today to the Ministry of Justice, demanding that the cells should be heated and that better food should be supplied to their clients. Many rumors were current in political circles today as to the probable fall of the French Cabinet as a sequel to the revelations growing out of the Calmetta assassination, that Government influ- ence had been brought to bear to pro- cure a postponement of the trial of Henri Rochette, alleged swindler. In the lobbies of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate it was said that announcement would be made shortly of the resignations of Albert Lebrun, Minister for the Colonies; Rene Viviani, Minister of Public Instruction, and Andrg Maginot, under-Secretary of State for War. It was argued among members that in case the Cabinet continues in office it probably will be only because the Opposition groups are unwilling to form a Government until after the elections in April. Joseph Caillaux, former Minister of Finance, at his own request, went be- fore the Chamber of Deputies committée investigating the Rochette affair today and denied that he had either directly or indirectly requested Maurice Bernard, the lawyer representing Rochette, to ask for a postponement of the trial. He said: “I give you my word of honor that J did nothing more than transmit to Ernest Monis, then Premier, the in- quiries made by Rochette’s lawyers as to whether the Government would op- pose a postponement of the trial.” Come down to Loftis and pick out one of Easy.

The plan provides for the withdrawal of all supervision by. the faculty of the honesty of examinations and of other work in the college and leaves the question of honesty to each individual and to the public sentiment of the col- lege as a whole. Each student on en- tering college is to sign a card signify- ing his acceptance of the system.

Allen was caught in the locker room of the Laclede Gas Light Co.'s plant, Levee and Mound street, Sun- day morning by James Drew, the night engineer. He implicated Harris in sev- eral burglaries. Among the burglaries he admitted were a previous one in the locker room of the gas company, in which five lock- ers were broken open and several ar- ticles of clothing and a watch and chain were taken; one at the Rutger street plant of the gas company, in which clothing, shoes and a watch were sto- len, and at the locker room of the Portland Cement Co., Prospect Hill, where a hat and $3.60 were taken.

LEFT $30,000 TO CHURCH Woman Alleges Bachelor Agreed to Pay Her Sum for Attend-~° ing Him During Illness. The trial of the suit of Mrs. Maud Close, a widow, of 625 North King’s highway, who is suing the estate of Etandall R. Gorden for $10,000 Monday attracted members of the First Christian Church, headed by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. John L. Brandt, to the Probate Court. The suit is based on a claim for services to Gorden, 4 bachelor, 65 years old, who died last September, leaving an estate of $60,000, of which $30,000 was willed by him to the First Christiaa Church. Mrs. Close, an attractive brunette, about 35 years old, sat beside her coun- sel, R. P. Williams. Judge Holtcamp sustained an objection fo her testifying, saying she would have to establish her claim by other testimony. In his opening statement ‘her lawyer told the jury she became acquainted with Gorden in 1911, when she was em- ployed as a demonstrator at Luytles’ market and that Gorden fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. She re- jected him because of the difference in their ages, her lawyer said. Subse- quently she accepted an offer to be his companion an to act as his nurse, ner counsel asserted. Gorden, Williams said, represented he was feeble and needed someone to wait on him. He declared his client carried meals to Gorden and treated him when he had rheumatism. For this attention, it is alleged, Gorden agreed to pay Mrs. Close $10,000. The services, it is claimed, continued from the summer of 1911 until a short while before Gorden’s death. P. S. Brown of Moberly, Mo., a Wa- bash conductor, a witness for the claim- ant, testified he became acquainted with Mrs. Close at a department store in this city in May, 1912, and that she invited him to call. The witness said Gorden became confidential while he was visit- ing Mrs. Close and said he had employed Mrs. Close as his nurse and companion, and that she was to accémpany him to London. 3 ‘‘He wanted to know if Mrs, Close was my sweetheart and I told him I was a married man,”’ said Brown. Brown also testified that Gorden told him he wanted to marry Mrs. Close, but that she would not consent and that then he mdde the arrangement by which she was to be paid $10,000 as his attend- ant. Brown said Gorden declared $500 cf this sum was to be spent in educat- ing Mrs. Close’s son, Jay, 15 years old. The son also was a witness for his mother, testifying he had seen her car- rying meals to Gorden when the latter was sick in his room at 2227 Locust street. The estate is resisting the claim. Pub- lic Administrator Newell is in charg of the property. Gorden’s two brothers and the church: are the beneficiaries. The brothers live in Christian County, Ijl., where the testator died.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. MONDAY EVENING, ETT OR RE TPR SOLE TRE eee MARCH 23, 114, WAY IS BEING CLEARED IN HASTE FOR TOLLS BILL President Says He Scents Fili- buster; Remarks That Minori- ties Always Filibuster. WASHINGTON, March 23.—Presiden: Wilson today declared that it looked as if there had been a filibuster on the rivers and harbors bill to further de- lay on the Panama tolls repeal, remarked tt.at minorities always fili- buster. His statement had a quick ef- fect at the Capitol. The rivers and harbors bill, after which the repeal bill will follow, was given rigint of way, despite rhe fact that District of Columbia legislation was entitled to the time. Administra- lion supporters predicted that’ the House would take up the repeal bill by Thursday, and claimed . “Nothing can better illustrate the con- dition of mental obscurity in which the question of woman’s suffrage is ap- proached than two decisions of the Su- preme Court, in one of which it is de- clared that the mere fact of a negro being a citizen entitles him to vote, while in the other it is held that al- though a woman may be a citizen, she has no right to vote. “I would, perhaps, attach more im- portance than I do to the argument that suffrage is entirely a matter for the several states to decide if it were not for the fact that the theory of states rights is always vigorously invoked when a state wants to do something which is contrary to the general senti- ment or interest of the country. at large, but which is conveniently buried when either the Democrats or the Re- publicans in a state want to get some- thing done by the Federal Government. Women’s Fight in Congress, “Our attempts to secure women’s suf- frage through the action of Congress began in 1869, but it was not until 1872 that the matter was taken up in Wash- ington as a regular part of our activ- ities. We have had several minority re- ports in our favor in the House, first from the former Suffrage Committee, and one at least from the Judiciary Committee. In the Senate the Suffrage Committee has made five favorable re- ports, but only one vote has been taken on the subject in the Senate, which went against us 34 to 16—the Washing- fare run down. ton wits giving hame of ‘the sweet sixteen.’ “In deciding to keep up our efforts o get favorable action by Congress we have all history on our side, for there has never, been any class of people in any country which has been compelled to appeal directly to the mass of vot- ers to get the right of suffrage. In other countries it is granted by the Parliament; and here we labor under a peculiar disability if we go directly to the voter, for we must submit the ques- tion to a great number of foreigners who are unfamiliar with the American spirit. “This reference to foreigners suggests the amusing reflection that, although the aileged ignorance of women is sometimes urged as a reason why w2 should not be allowed to vote, yet when it is suggested that male immigrants— prospective voters—should submit to 2 literacy test the proposal raises a howl all over the country. “While we are still looking to Con- gress for the final act of justice, we have every reason to be satisfied with the progress we are making in the sev- eral states. At the next national elec- tion woinen will vote in 10 states for President and for members of Congress in nine, which gives us a tremendous political power. This year we have campaigns in seven states where suf- frage will be voted on at the fall elec- tions, and we hope to add tnree-or four of these to our conquests.” Opposed to Militancy. “In view of all this,’’ I asked, ‘‘do you think that militancy has any place in the United States.as a part of the suffrage movement?’’ “‘No place whatever!” exclaimed Miss Shaw. “It is un-American and un-demo- cratic. Any attempt to introduce here the militant methods of the extreme branch of the suffragists in England will be vigorously opposed not only by the anti-suffragists but by the large majority of American suffragists. We have in this country a very small band of women inclined toward militancy, and they for the most part fell under the influence of Mrs. Pankhurst and the Iunglish movement. “Nothing could be more harmful to our cause here than militant tactics, even from the standpoint of policy. You can’t go to legislatures and committees and ask for the vote with a club in your hand. “Whatever some of our younger and more enthusiastic women may think, ex- perience has taught the older and muvore experienced of us that woman is never a eee Sowers To Mothers: You should give your chil- dren Father John’s Medicine When they have a cough or because it is a pure and wholesome food medicine which will give them new strength to fight off the disedse.

Look for the Name . on Every Can Al SPECIALS FOR TUESDAY our supporters the nick-] rt so great a disadvantage as when she employs force to attain her ends. One of the underlying convictions on which the whole woman's suffrage movement is based is that in granting wemen the vete there will be introduced into the body politic an element which will ad- vance the cause of peace and will con- tribute te a more harmonious and high- er tone of government, and this cannot be brought about by force. “I consider the destruction of the Rokeby Venus one of the most inexcus- able acts of vandalism which has ever _ &f- LUUAS FVUSI-ywwraiva. been committed by a woman. It is an | incalculable loss to all the world, and the perpetrator of the deed should re- ceive the punishment it deserves. Still that will not restore its marred beauty, nor give back to future generations the priceless treasure which belongs to ali ages.”’ Attitude Toward Democrats. ‘“‘Holding these onrinions,’’ I said, “you surely do not approve the action of those women who threaten to work against the Democratic party on account of its failure to enact a suffrage amendment to the Constitution at this session.” “Certainly not. We are constantly emphasizing tne fact that the Nationa! Association is absolutely nonpartisan. When Congress has passed the amend- ment which we seek it will have to be submitted to the several states, and to antagonize Democrats in Congress and jthen to go into the states and ask for Democratic votes would be political si:- cide for us.” See DEEMS,. the Letter Maa, Addressing, Fine Printing, 73% Vlive.

MISSOURI POSSE HUNTS FOR SLAYER OF GIRL, 16 Who Shot De- Man, 22 Years Old, Sweetheart in Moberly, fies His Pursuers. MOBERLY, Mo., March 23.—A posse of 100 men is searching the country sur- rounding Moberly for Victor Roberts, 22 years old, the youth who Saturday night shot and killed Miss Jessie Davall, his 16-year-old sweetheart. A Coroner’s jury gave a verdict declaring Roberts to be the girl’s murderer. Miss Duvall was killed on one of the principal streets of Moberly. Her slay- er stood at her side and sent a bullet through her head. As she fell on the crowded sidewalk the man fled toward the railroad yards. A relative of Roberts yesterday rode into town with word that the fugitive had appeared at his home in the morning and demanded food. Roberts carried a ristol and sent word to the officers searching for him that he would not be taken alive. Roberts and the slain girl had been swethearts for several weeks, but quar- reled. Miss Duvall had rejected his proopsal of marriage, it is said, and re- turned to him several little presents he had given her. Richard Duvall, the girl’s father, who is blind, was standing on the opposite side of the street and heard the shot which ended his daughter’s life, ‘‘WHERE are you going, my pretty maid?”’ “To Loftis Bros., 308 N. 6th st., to get a bracelet watch on credit. sir,’’ she said CONTRACTOR GOES DOWN WITH RIVER STEAMER Crew Swims Ashore Near Gol- conda, Ill., but He Is Trap- ned in His Cabin, EVANSVILLE, Ind., March Capt.

SSQVy SHOVING Ae QQ SS VSS Rickey to Send Recruits Against Cards, Saturday Browns’ Manager Will Have Several New Faces in Lineup for First Game of Spring Series—Training Camp Gosip. FTER a month of intensive training in St. Petersburg, Fla., the Browns today are migrating :orthward for their annual tail-end championship with the Cardinals. A squad of 38 Rickey’s command, but at least 10 of this number route. The Browns have a game booked in Birmingham, Memphis and Nash- ville and will leave a few recruits in each of these cities before returning to. their permanent summer camp at Sportsman’s Park. Rickey began the training season with 45 players. He already has cut that squad to 38. By the time he reaches St. Louis he will have less than 30. The announcement that Rickey would use several second-string men in the pre-season series with the Car- dinals, proved an interesting bit of news for the local fans Monday. It has been unofficially but reliably stated that the Browns’ infield will be manned by Howard or Leary at first; Miller at SecOnd; Bisliand at short, and Austin at third with Mes- senger, Rumler and Earnst Walker in the outfield when the spring series opens. This will give the St. Louis fans a chance to see what the kids amount to and incidentally will in- dicate who’s who on Rickey’s squad. Miller Looks Good. This man Miller, given name Eddie, who was up before as a first-sacker, seems to have rounded out nicely as a second sacker, and the tip is out that he will give Derrill Pratt a stiff argument for the permanent assignment at sec- ond base. Howard is at present the most finished first-sacker, although a trifle weak with the willow, while Bis- land is destined to do the bulk of the work at short until Johnny Lavan, the Michigan surgeon,. reports in June. Lavan has been returned to the Browns by Connie Mack, who borrowed the Wolverine star last season when Jack Barry was injured. Rickey is pretty sweet on Lavan. Among the new pitchers are James, Witte, Manning and Hoch, who will assist the regulars—Mitchell, Hamilton, Leverenz, Baumgardner and Taylor— with the mound duty. The first squad of Brownies will reach here Thursday ang will be re- inforced with a seeond detachment Friday morning. The series will open Saturday at Sporteaman’s Park. CARDS OPPOSE MACKMEN IF WEATHER PERMITS From a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., March 23.— If the diamond dries out and the mer- players is now under will be dropped en pcury climbs a few pegs in the ther- mometer, the Cardinals and Athletics will clash on the local field today. It is Manager Huggins’ intention to send Hank Robinson, the Piratical southpay, against the world’s champions, while Chief Bender, the eminent Chippewa, probably will hurl for the Athletics. Robinson will go the full route if he is at all effective, as the big southpaw is slated to antagonize the Browns, and —— wants to give him a good work- out. Most of the Cardinal regulars are in shape for a stiff tiff with the Mackmen today. Jack Miller will return to nis berth at first after taking a flier at shortstopping, as Artie Butler’s busted finger has mended and he’s ready to earn his salary. Whitted will show at third, with Huggins or Dolan on second Wingo will be paired with Robinson, with Magee, Cather and Wilson in the outfield. Cold Weather Worries Players. The Cardinals were idle yesterday and likewise on Saturday. The weather for these two days has been anything burt favorable and a few of the players com- plain of sore joints although they all ex- pect to round to if given a good work- out this afternoon, Hug has announced no releases as yet, although he has such a small squad that he need not worry about reducing his list. He has five catchers—Wingo, Sny- der, O’Connor, Roche and Glenn—and probably will get rid of at least one be- fore the championship season opens. Either Glenn or Roche will feel the guil- lotine’s ax. Of the 10 pitchers Hug will keep all for the present, but may reduce his squad to eight when the big season opens. The eight tipped to remain are: Sallee, Steele, Perritt, Doak, Hagerman, Griner, Niehaus and Robinson. Charley Miller is the only extra out- fielder, while Beck and Dolan are the unplaced inflelders. Although Hug has 28S players and it will be easy for him to get within the prescribed limit of 25 when the proper time comes. INDIANAPOLIS TRAINER TO WORK FOR CARDINALS Al Woods, for several years a trainer witno the St. Paul and Indianapolis (A. A.) clubs, has been hired by Manager Huggins of the Cardinals on the recommendation of Mike Kelley, who bossed the Saints and Hoosiers when Woods did the masseur work. f . e reported in St. Louis Monday and will waitin Thursday. ——— JACK BRITTON TOY FACE KELLY HERE N COLISEUM BOUT Cleverest of 135-Pound Boxers Signs to Fight on Monday March 30. “Silent Dan” Morgan, manager of Jack Britton, the Bastern lightweight, hesitateq 24 hours before accepting the offer to meet Leo Kelly, ths “Pride of Compton Hill,” before the National Athletic Club tn the Coll- seum building, March 30. To Britton was offered the mateh after Jimmy Duffy of Lockport, N, Y., refused to come on for a bout with Kelly. Kelly’s recent good show- ing against Freddie Wels the En- glishman, and other lightweigh has caused many of the so- ed cham- pionship aspirants to give the local red-head a wide berth. It is said that Welsh personally in- formed Duffy that Kelly was no easy foe; and for that reason peer founi an excuse to skip the loca date. When the match was offered to Bri:- ton, Morgan, his manager, named 136 pounds at 3 o’clock on the day eof the bout as the weight. Britton to Make Debut. Kelly declined to let the match Slip by because of this figure and posted 2 forfeit. It will mark Brit- ton’s first appearance in St. Louis. Although he has never boxed here Britton is well known because of his good work against some of the best 133 and 135-pounders in the game, He is a Chicago boy, but has made New York his home for the lagt couple of years, Trendall Ready for Waugh. Harry Trendall of St. Louis and Bobby Waugh of Texas will meet in a return eight-round bout at the Fu- ture City Cc. Tuesday night.

Gunboat Smith is to get a guaran- tee of $5000 for his end, with the privilege of taking 60 per cent of the gate receipts after the State tax has been deducted. Levinsky’s end will be a split of the profits with the pro- moters. No doubt Smith’s 60 per cent will run far ahead of the guarantee There will not be a great deal of differ- ence in weight between these two. Gunboat, for all his heavy hitting, is only a little over 180 pounds, while Levinsky is a little under. Morgan, Levinsky’s manager, says that he will now ae matching the Battler three times a eek and give him a rest, which will ubtably bring him up eight or ten pounds in weight.

BURKETT LOCAL HERO The “Crab” Hit .382 in 1904, the Best Performance of Any St. Louis Player. Napoleon Lajole never has been knewrn to complain regarding the sal- ary paid him py Charles W. Somers, but it is quite likely that he wishes that during. all the time he has worked for the Naps their liberal owner had offered him a bonus such as Joe Jackson has been proffered this season. The Carolina Clouter, according to rumor, Is to get so mucn if he hits abpve .400, so much if he hits above .375 and so much if he hits above .350. Never having hit below the last named mark since he has been in the American League, the chances are that J. J. will earn at least one of the extra sums his con- tract calls for, even if the Cincinnati base hit has been abolished. Look what Larry would have had, however, in the way of extra remu- neration had his contract called for more money in the event of his hit- ting above .350, .875 or .400. In 1901, workine for Connie Mack. the King piled up an average of .422, still the high-water mark for the American eagues and only approached by Ty Cobb in 1911, the year he was ac- counted the most. valuable player in the younger organization by the Chalmers jury of newspaper experts. The Georgian hit .420 that year, and .410 the next, Joe Jackson having an average of .408 in 1911 and Charley ey Farrell ap average of .404 n Cobb Is a Demon. During the two years of his em- ployment by Somers, Larry has hit better than .375, and in five years better than 850. Cobb has been above the last named mark six times, Hans Wagner five times, Joe Jackson four times, Tris Speaker twice, Ed Dela- hanty twice, Olaf Henriksen twice and Mike Donlin twice. The players who have once hit .350 or better in the American and National Leagues from 1901 to 1918, inclusive, are bi Farrell, Dave Rowan, Earl oF ae: Jesse Burkett, Sam ‘Craw- for Cy Seymour, Lew Wiltse (broth- er of George and, like him, a pitch- er), Heine Zimmerman, “Babe” Bor- ton, Eddie Collins, Charley Hickman, Bill Kennedy, Jack Lelivelt, Jay Kirke, George Stone, “Nig” Clarke, “Chief” Meyers, Clarence Beaumont, Billy Keeler, Charley McDonald, Jimmy Sheckard, Jack Lapp, John Mc- Graw, Fred Clarke, Roger Bresnahan and Jake Daubert.

An opeir- tion falled, and in March, 194, Maguire greeted his friends for what he believe! to be the last time and submitted to an operation in which practically the who'e tongue was removed.

Her sides clear to the bulwarks were bearded with. sea moss, yet everything in her tiny cabin looked as if the crew had just stepped ashore and might re- turn any minute. There were four stools in the cabin and these were smashed, though the crockery on the table and the shelves was uncracked, indicating that the broken stools were not the work of bat- tering seas. To Charles E. Harris of Boston, wh sighted and boarded the schooner white sailing in his dory out of Wood’s Hole, the picture presented was that of 4 sailors’ living place deserted after a fierce fight, in which the stools hai served as weapons. Case of the Marie Celeste. The case of the schooner is not unlike that of the Marie Celeste, which sailed from New York Oct. 7, 1878, and the fate of whose crew and the skipper’s family never will be known. Dec. 4 of the same year the British brigantine Del Gratia found the brig midway between the Azores and Lisbon, scooting about like a headless chicken, under topstails, foresail, jib and top staysails, with yards squared.

The giant sea fighter was given her name by Miss Lorena Jane Cruce, daughter of the Governor of Oklahoma, who broke a bottle of champagne against the great prow of the ship as The saloon license of A.

Rondon and one or two of the Brazilians. **Meanwhile, the rest of the party, in- cluding Miller, will go straight to Ma- deira and come down that to Manaos. _Miller will then collect around Manaos or elsewhere until Kermit, Cherrie and I turn up. It is not possible to give a forecast as to the time that will be required.”’ Firat Stage on Horseback. The headwaters of the unknown river, which Col. Rondon once crossed, accord- ing to Col. Roosevelt’s letters, are in Matto Grosso, between the Madeira and Tapajos rivers, two large streams which flow northward to join the Ama- Zan. What the equipment of Col. Roosevelt's party was to make the trip down this unknown river is largely a matter of wy conjecture. e After leaving the upper Parana and Paraguay rivers, which flow southward and join the Rio de la Plata, the party had to traverse the plateau extending ‘through Paraguay and Brazil, a trip of 00 miles or more. This the party did safely on horseback, according to tele. graph advices which came through nine days ago. Col. Roosevelt does not say in any of his letters what means of transporta- tion he would use in descending the un- known river. [It is believed nothing - heavier than canoes could have beer carried on the 500-mile journey on horse- back from the headwaters of the Para- guay to the “River of Doubt.” Rivers Have Many Rapids. The great danger in descending the etreams that flow northward in Brazil o join the Amazon is in the many rap- de and falls. The plateau, which is gn the average 3000 to 4000 feet above the sea level, slopes abruptly to the floor of the Amazon valley. Fur this reason some of the greatest waterfalis in the world are found in these tributaries. It is possible that after the expedi- ‘tion lost the equipment. the members continued on down stream on rafts or on foot. It is probable that their jour- ney took them to the Tapajos and that some members of the party went on down the river to Santarem or sent a messenger ahead to that place.

Cruce of Oklahoma was expect- ed, but he was detained at home on ac- count of political conditions in his State A sister ship, the Nevada, is being con- structed at Quincy, Mass. Only the Pennsylvania, building at Newport News, and the nameless battleship No. 89, the keel of which was laid last week at the New York navy yard, will out- strip the Oklahoma in tonnage, displace- ment, length and power guns. The length of the Oklahoma is 583 feet and her displacement will be 27,600 tons, or 500 tons greater than the next largest American fighting ship. In both armament and armor the Ok- lahoma will be far ahead of other Ameri- can ships. Her principal weapons will be ten 14-inch guns, capable of firing a shell weighing 1400 pounds. A feature of the armament will be the placing of three of these great guns in one turret. One of the three gun tur- rets will be on the forecastle deck along with a turret of two big guns. An- Other two-gun turret will be on the quarter deck and astern of this will be another turret with the remaining three 14-inch guns. About the big warship also will be distributed 21 five-inch guns and some three-puunders, one-pounders, three- inch field pieces and machine guns. The armor belt is 134 inches thick an‘ will extend 40) feet along each side of the hull from eight and one-half feet below the water line to nine feet above the water. There are two protective decks to guard against plunging fire, one three inches thick and the other oe one and one-half inches. Ee Se ne — <a eas - STOPS.

Mrs. Robart testified she asked Hawks not to sell her son liquor, after all other saloon men in the neighbor- hood had granted her request. She said Hawks refused, saying it was none of her business, and that Benjamin's wife was the proper person to make complaint. She said her son was 31 years old, lived at 4808 Leduc street and had a position as repairer at a jewelry store. Hawks had Benjamin Robart take the witness stand for the defense. Robart testified he drank only beer and never became intoxicated. He said his drink- ing had no bad effect on him. Turning to his mother, he said: ‘Don’t you know you're taking money from a poor and honest man in trying to have his license revoked?’’ “If I am,” the white-haired woman replied, “it is only to protect your sweet young wife and her children and to pro- vent them from starving. I came here to get justice, not to have the license revoked.”’ Excise Commissioner Anderson found that only three days’ notice of trial had been given Hawks, whereas five dgys is customary.

CHICAGO, March 23.—Explanation of the mysterious poisoning of a woman who is in a hospital here will be sought today by the police on the arrival of R. D. Widney, who notified the hospital that Vera Lyons, found unconscious in a-downtown hotel, was his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Widney were registered as from Seattle. Widney left the hotel Saturday, paying the bill for another day. Sunday a telephone call from the hotel to a friend of the woman led to the discovery of her condition and her removal to a hospital. Physicians said the woman was suf- fering from an opiate. She has not been able to tell any of the circum- stances surrounding the taking of the poison and the police do not know whether she took it intentionally. Her recovery is doubtful.

A. O. Disaster. Te the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. Now that the horrible catastrophe has come to pass and blighting memories, obsess the loved ones who remain to lNnger and think of the unfor- tunate victims of this recent calamity, it is re- quisite that we pause to consider the lesson which it should teach. Men flout the idea of dangers which they know to exist, and being lacking in resolution will take the chance of death, pestilence or destruction, rather than remove the cause. There are men by the hundreds in our midst today who know that the buildings occupied by them are not safe, that they violate the laws of safety, yet they will not make them safe. For money, for one cause or another, or for no cause, save inconvenience threatening menaces will be allowed to hover above them dally. Dotibtless if the victims of the fire had been warned of the consequence of that fateful night, they would have failed to heed the warning. We are constantly warned and admon- ished of the dangers and consequences of life, but in the hurly-burly of the tumult, we do not heed, we will not heed, nor do we pause to con- sider the inevitable. . If this spectacle that is still before us brings us to our senses and enables every man to do his duty as he knows it with a fixed and resolute determination, the dead will not have died in vain.

CORWIN. : 1 | worst kind—it is wanton obstruction. ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1914. ACTION FOR BRIDGE BONDS. Four members of the House of Delegates, who favor the A. & M. approach and have acted with the A. & M. combine, have declared that they will vote to submit the bond issue for the city’s approach in response to the initiative petition. These. members who prove their good judgment and sense of duty as public servants are Dele- gates Deffaa of the Seventh, Hbrecht of the Elev- enth, Groeschel of the Twenty-fourth and Stuart of the Twenty-seventh wards. “I do not see any reason for compelling two elections,” said Delegate Deffaa. “I am not for any monkey business with the initiative peti- tion,” said Delegate Ebrecht. Delegate Groeschel said he would vote for one election to save money, and Delegate Stuart said he was convinced his constituents desired the bond issue submitted. .The whole case for the single bond election is summed up in these remarks. Nearly one-half of the voters of the city—the number will probably reach 60,000—have petitioned for the submission ef bond issue. There is not the slightest doubt that the question of submitting the bonds will be carried should it be forced to a vote. The only question is whether the city shall be put to the unnecessary expenditure of $60,000 by holding two elections. Obstruction under these circumstances is the It combines defiance of the public will by ignoring a petition of 60,000 voters and indifference to the public in- terest by forcing the city to bear an unnecessary expenditure of $60,000. Delegates McCarthy and Gallagher, who are ‘trying to hold the A. & M. combine together for ‘| wanton obstruction may be joined to their idols, '| put it seems incredible that they can whip 13 other | Delegates into doing their will. Surely there are 15 members of the House of Delegates who will stand for the people against the lobby combine—who are independent of the A. & M. lobbyists. ' In the Council, where there is a majority in favor of the bond issue for the city’s approach, a bill submitting the bond issue in the wording of the initiative petition should be introduced and passed. It would be a graceful act for Dr. Fletcher who has said he would yield to an initiative pe- tition, to introduce the measure. It would be a graceful act for Delegate Deffaa, or Delegate Ebrecht, or Delegate Groeschel, or Delegate Stuart—one of the four Delegates who have declared their intention to yield to the in- itiative petition—to introduce a similar bill in the House. Prompt action is the order. to vote for bridge completion. = = rv PAYING A HIGH PRIOB.

A writer calls attention to the daring work of the men who have daily risked their lives clear- ing up the M. A. C. ruin, seeking for the dead or tearing away timbers and debris to save the in- jured, while tottering walls menaced from above. He asks why, when credit is given the Fire Chief and the Building Commissioner, these men in overalls should be overlooked. They are not forgotten. Neither are the brave firemen, salvage men, policemen, doctors, priests, reporters, photographers and others who have faced death every day since the fire took place. All these were, of course, doing their duty, and in most cases, for pay. But the least as well as the most prominent is deserving of honor. There has been no instance of shirking or cowardice, but many stories of simple heroism have been told about colored laborers. St. Louis is proud of all these brave men. Constantinople has been kicking its persistent type of houn’ dawgs around ever since the Young Turks got in, but with results so small that it offers a bounty of 20 cents for the tail of every houn’ dawg killed. = = a ae ‘ SENATOR TILLMAN, CHAMPION KICKER. With his old but still trusty pitchfork before which the living have fled, Senator Tillman is now keeping death at bay. He has referred before in the Senate chamber to his new manual of arms for the fearsome weapon, but last week he turned the apartment into an amphitheater and held a clinic on himself. “Constitution” took on meanings strange to ordinary Senate usages, espe- clally when Mr. Bailey used to be there. Physic for the body politic was thrown to the dogs while Mr. Tillman talked about remedies for a body in which he is a good deal more interested. His po- litical career began with the dispensary system for thirsty South Carolinians. It is ending with the dispensation of hygienic verities for all in- firm humanity. Kicking himself while lying down is the great feature in the Tillman physical culture. How he manages the thing is mystifying, but the important point is that there is kicking in it and that it de- livers the goods. Senator Tillman always was some kicker. Does history record another such champion? He kicked his way into the State house. He kicked his way into Congress. At ‘present he is kicking himself into good health, and getting results, just as he always used to. After all, his confession of 66 years leaves him the regimen that keeps Uncle Joe Cannon, aged 7s, in such’ unvarying and eupple form since he only a boy.

La, Le Le — MR. WILSON’S PRESS CLUB SPEEOH. In his speech at the National Capital Press Club, the President first told us about Mr. Wil- son as others see him. Then he told us about Mr. Wilson as Mr. Wilson himself sees him, and compared Mr. Wilson as others see him with Mr. Wilson as Mr. Wilson sees him. He professed not to be conscious “of having any detachable apparatus inside of me,” but to do all this he really must have something of the sort—something that is at least easily adjust- able to all angles and capable of being adapted to extraordinary arcs of perspective. What he said had a savor of humor to be found only in the utterances of genuine philosophers. It pleases us because we know so little about presidential human nature and Mr. Wilson con- vinces us he thinks in just about the same terms you or I would think in, if you‘or I were Presi- dent. As the governmental deus ex machina, he “can hardly refrain now and again from tipping us the wink” to remind us that after all it is only a Mr. Wilson inside this thing—a Mr. Wilson who is enormously deferred to, who causes every- body else to stand until he sits down, who: is “personally conducted to beat the band” when- ever he goes out to see anything interesting, but still only the Mr. Wilson with whom Mr. Wilson has lived so long and whom he knows so much better than anyone else. No doubt other Presi- dents, possibly even Washington, and certainly Lincoln, have also been tempted to “tip the wink.” Probably no one who reads this speech will ever think of Mr. Wilson again as a dispassionate schoolmaster who brings to his duties a thinking machine and very little of the wealth of a rich- ly endowed emotional nature. It assists in humanizing not only Mr. Wilson, but the presi- dency itself, which, like some of its greatest in- cumbents, has been in danger of being denatured and becoming only an abstraction, a legend. = = ea Lieut.

It was once, and may still be, a habit of some British journalists to deride American news- papers for want of a world view, of literary excellence and of urbanity. How well this lofty attitude is justified, how much superior the English manner is, may be learned by gleaning the pages of representative English journals. = a _— Let us take, for example, the March number of} the National Review, the leading Tory monthly, advocate and defender of the interests of the British aristocracy. Here, certainly, we shall find in finest flower that breadth of vision, that literary polish and that urbanity which is pre sumed to characterize the intercourse of gentle men. From the Review’s “Episodes of the Month,” written by its distinguished editor, L. J. Maxse, Esq., we cull this bouquet of exquisite- ly courteous allusions to the Review's political opponents: “The Molly Maguire vote’ Irish home rulers. “The Government of snobbery, jobbery and m ing the British Liberal Govy- ernment, in which Mr. Asquith {is Prime Min- ister. “Mr. Asquith’s groveling apology after Mr. Gulland’s cowardly attempt.” “The dirty tricks which form the stock in trade of the new Radicalism.” “The Opposition should long since have de- manded the impeachment of Mr. Asquith for the traitor that he is.” “Not one honest man imagined that Home Rule would bring either peace or prosperity to Ireland.” “Artful Dodgers, Dundee Windbags, Callous Cynics, and the rest of the posse comitatus who make up the great Ministry of Mendacity and Mountebanks.” “Not seeking fee or reward—considerations which alone stimulate Asquith activities,” “Those salaries which play a dominating part in the lives of ‘Nuts.’ ” “The only accurate description of the pres- ent regi ment by Blackmai].” “Merely one of those dirty tricks with which the name of Asquith will for all time be associated.” It is very discouraging to reflect upon how many centuries it has taken our British cousins to attain this extraordinary altitude, and then to remember how very young we are on this side of the water. se a the pn re ee a w~we S In studying great national questions, Mr. wi}- son says he avails himself of “all the brains that are borrowable,” wherein he differs from one of his late predecessors, whose personal equipment |’ of brains not only sufficed for governmental problems, but for most of the private problems of his fellow citizens. = = — a a If the less representative Senate voted 35 to 34 in favor of woman suffrage, what would be the vote in the more responsive House? bees j wr THE LAST SNAKE IN IRELAND.

If this be Spring, I'll gladly sing the gloom of life without it; but ere I trust so much there must be no mistake about it. The weather man, if so he can, must give me his assurance, and all the signs that grace the lines must be of some endurance. In former years, de- spite my fears, I’ve blazed away un- earing; but oftentimes the changing climes have left me quite despairing. One time in two a blizzard blew to make me wish I’d waited; or singing, lo! a foot of snow blew in somewhat belated. My eager lyre is full of fire, but often has mistook her when gentle Spring has bade me sing; it is no fireless cooker. If this be she, then whoop- whoopee! but more than that, less fury shall be my fate, I think I'll wait; for I am from Missouri.

From the Hartford Times. There will.be more than. ordinary in- terest in the decision of the Supreme Court of Errors in the case of Elizabeth C. Brown against Thomas 8S. Brown, # Middlesex County case, which was handed down on Thursday afternoon. The opinion of the court was written by Judge Thayer. It marks a new devel- opment in the law relating to married people and it establishes, as the law of the State, that a wife has the right to sue her husband for personal injuries inflicted by him. Under the common law the wife had not that right. * Judge Thayer refers to the opinion of Judge Hamersley, written some time be- fore he retited from the bench o€ the Supreme Court, in a case which in- volved the interpretation of the law of 1877. The opinion given by the Supreme Court follows the reasoning and the logic of Judge Hamersley, with the in- evitable conclusion which is arrived at in the opinion written by Judge Thayer. The opinion places Connecticut in ad- vance of many states and of many countries. It affords the wife a greater degree of protection from her husband. It has been heretofore held, almost gen- erally, that the identity of the wife being merged into that of her huys- band, she could not sue him for per- sonal injuries. Of course, the wife could have her husband arrested and prose- cuted in the criminal courts for mis- conduct. Now the Supreme Court Says: “When the purposes of the marriage relation have wholly failed by reason of the misconduct of one or both of the par- ties there is no reason why the hus band or wife should not have the same remedies for injuries inflicted by the other spouse which the courts would give them against other parties.’’ FINDING THE PULLMAN PORTER.

HE was a dream of beauty, and as she entered the Pullman at the South Station, Robertson all but gasped. He was not ex- actly a misogynist, but by those who knew him best he was regarded as an almost certain candidate for the honors of permanent bachelorhood. Now, however, he was taken com- pletely off his feet. The girl took the chair next to that in which Robertson sat. She took out her ticket and slipped it into the little crack between the window anji the mahogany sill. This done, she rose, walked to the further end of the car, and stood on the front platform. Robertson's eyes followed her as . she went, and when she disappeared upon the platform a bright idea flashed across his mind. He reached quickly over, seized the girl’s ticket, and, putting it in his wallet, walked to the rear platform at the other end of the car. In a few moments the train started. The train having passed the Back Bay station, the conductor came along to collect hig dues. Robertson handed the offictal his ticket and resumed his reading with admirable unconcern, although his in- ner perturbation grew more violent than ever. “Ticket, please, madam,” said the conductor courteously, addressing the girl. She raised her head and turred to the window sill, reaching out her “daintily gloved hand for the evidence of her right to ride. Not finding it, she gave a musical little ejaculation of dismay. “Why,” she gasped, “I—I—TI put it in that crack there not ten minutes ago, conductor. It can’t have blown away, can it?’ ‘ “Not very well through a closed window,” returned the conductor. “You've probably brushed it off onto the floor,” A search followed—in which, of course, Robertson ostentationsly joined: but, equally of course, it was . unavailing. “What have I got to 40?” asked the girl, with some anxiety in her voice. “T’m sorry, miss,” said the conduc- tor, “but I'll have to ask you to pay your fare. How far are you going?” “New York,” answered the girl. “Then you'll have to pay me four dollars and sixty-six cents.” The girl bit her lips. “But, conductor,’’ she protested, ‘‘I—I can’t—I haven't more than 80 cents in my pocketbook.’’ “I beg pardon for intruding,” put in Robertson; “‘but if I can be of any as- sistance’’—— “Oh, I couldn’t think money from a stranger,”’ girl. “It won't be necessary for vou to bor- row any money from me,”’ smiled Rob- ertson graciously. ‘‘By a very fortunate circumstance I happen to have an ex- tra ticket from Boston to New York in my pocket. My sister, who was coming over with me, was detained at the last moment, and I shall be glad to place her ticket at your disposal.’" He opened his wallet and took the necessary ar- ticle therefrom. “Oh, I couldn’t think of’’—— began the girl, apparently very much flus- tered. “It’s the only way, the conductor kindly. “Tl am very much said the girl demurely. the ticket.”’ “Good!” said the conductor, and ha passéd on, leaving Robertson and his new-found sister to pursue their jour- ney in a pleasant interchange of ideas, which grew more and more animated as - time passed. "“T thank you very much, Mr. Robert- gon,”’ she said, when they parted at the Grand Central Station. “I will ask my father to send you a check for the ticket, and perhaps some evening, when you have nothing better to do, you might call.”’ “Oh, please don’t,"’ Robertson began, not caring to receive a check for the purloined ticket; * ° the cab had start- ed, and he ~ .«t standing on the curb, a prey to alternately uneasy and eestatic reflections.

He »ad made not cone but many calls upoi’Marorie With- erbee since the episode of the lost ticket, More radiantly beautiful than ever, Miss Witherbee enterei the drawing room; and for a moment, dazzled by her love- liness, Robertson merely stood and gr .ed at her.

Ever since that afternoon last July, when the fates decreed that our paths should cross on that Boston train, I have had but one consuming idea.

N “The Lure,’ which began its en- gagement at the Shubert Theater, on Sunday evening, the offensive second act of the play’s original ver- sion, which was forbidden in New York after its first few performances, now has been replaced, boldly picturing the night life in a disorderly resort. When I saw this play at the Maxine Elliott Theater in New York last No vernber, it had been ‘‘modified”’ to tne extent of changing this act’s environ- ment to represent the offices of the so- ealled ‘“‘Lockwood Employment Agen- ¢y,”’ a further presentation of the orig- jrial scene having been prohibited by the law under penalty of an enforced termination of the play’s metropolitan engagement. KMven as “The Lure’s”’ story then was told, I felt it necessary to inform the Post-Dispatch’s readers that the play was “utterly indefensible as a public entertainment, its presentation forbid- den by every canon of decency and good morats.’”’ My New York review of the play’s performance closed with the statement that ‘“‘the final taste which *The Lure’ leaves in one’s mouth is of wnutterable and unforgivable nasti- ness.’’ - This characterization of the piece now applies with vastly heightened empha- sis. The second act’s environment has been shifted back to its original set- ting, eliminated in New York by tue law’s intervention, so that its locale ts ~ aescribed on the Shubert program as “At Madame Lockwood's” instead of “At the Lockwood Employment Agen- cy,” the scene now presented being that of a disorderly resort, as already stated. There is no need to go into detail con- cerning the incidents pictured in this ecene, revealing the havless existence of the pitiable women who are the in- mates of ‘‘Madame Lockwood's place, and the methods of the male vultures who gain a livelihood by preying upon these unfortunates. The simple state- ment of the truth is enough. The story told in this second act, the manner of its telling, the general atmosphere cre- ated and maintained until the curtain’s fall, are such that the act's presentation in any playhouse attended by decent People is unpardonable. A furtner consideration of the play, therefore, will not be attempted. De- spite the protestations of its producers, its performance is a pandering to the evil, not a service to the good, in life. Its presentation on a reputable stage may not be condoned. Stove, Range and Furnace Repair«. A. G.
