CAP.’ TROLL ASKED FOR A. & MM. VOTE, DECLARES ARENDES | in the Scherrer Free Interest Bridge Approach Plan Also Revealed in Suit. “WILL BLOW SCHEME UP” Councilman Fletcher Comments on Revélations in Troll- Scherrer Disagreement. That Charles Troll, more widely known as ‘“‘Cap’’ Troll, owner of the mysteri- ous mortgage on the strip of land used as the $25,000 capital stock of the Alton & Mississippi Belt Line Railway, had lobbied among members of the Municipal Assembly to influence them to vote for the Alton & Mississippi free bridge ap- proach, was made known Saturday in an interview given to a Post-Dispatch reporter by Councilman M. J. Arendes. Councilman Arendes said Troll asked him to vote for the Alton & Mississippi scheme in the Council. Arendes and Troll have been personal friends fwr many years. Arendes has been one cf the strongest supporters of the Reber approach. He said ne was convinced that Troll haq some kind of financial interest in the Alton & Mississippi ap- proach when Troll asked him to vote for the bill. “The revelation that Troll was in- terested with Scherer in the A. & M. rroposition blows that scheme up in roy opinion,” said Dr. Paul R. Fletcher, who has been the champion of the Al- ton & Mississippi approach in the Coun- cil, ‘“‘It shows a bad state of affairs. Troll never asked me to support the A. & M. scheme. I scarcely know him. But I think the recent developments will give the A. & M. business a bad color with the public.’’ Delegate M. J. Whalen, who has been one of the strongest supporters of the A. & M. scheme, said he did not. know that Troll had any connection with it. The publicity: given to the’ Troll initer- est in the Alton & Mississippi would turn the public against it as a specula- tion, Whalen said. Whalen and Troll recently signed a surety bond together for Martin Hy- land, a particular friend of Delegate James J. Gallagher, Democratic leader of the House of Delegates combine. Gallagher made arrangements at the courthouse for the bond to be signed by Troll and Whalen. Gallagher and Troll were members of the same House of Delegates combine in 1907 and 1909, although Troll was a stepublican and Gallagher a Democrat. Gallagher said he knew that Troll owned land on the East Side, but thought it was a matter of minor im- portance in connection with the Alton & Mississippi approach. Identified With Scherrer. Delegate Brokaw, leader of the Reber approach forces in the House, said the exclusive publication in Friday’s Post- Dispatch of “Cap’’ Troll’s connection with the A. & M. approach confirmed what he long had suspected. He said he once had charged Troll with having a financial interest in the outcome of the Alton & Mississippi scheme and that Troll had frankly admitted it. He said Troll admitted he owned land that would be affected by both the Reber and the A. & M. approaches but gave him to understand that his principal interest was in the Alton & Mississippi approach. Troll has been identified with Leo J. Scherrer in the Alton & Mississippi scheme for several years, as shown py the fact. that the mysterious ‘“‘M. John- son” mortgage was sold to Troll by Scherrer in 1910. Troll told a Post-Dispatch reporter he owned all together about 420 acres of land on the east side of the'river, the principal part of it being adjacent to the Alton & Mississippi approach. He owns three large tracts of land adjoin- ing the Orthwein tract on the east and the Alton & Mississippi right of way >n Continued on Page Two, Colume 3. — —- — LT ae ttt tata DISPATCH alone, than in of doing the same thing the While we did not beat all The figures were— combined. . » his health had ed all of his at- _ Sunday. only papers combined, that they came withi ‘This is ‘First in Everything’’ with St. Louis’ ONE BIG Newspaper.

Bavaria also would be returned of the vessel. State Department officials had un- der consideration before this action was made known, legal questions that might be inyolved in. the unload- ing of munitions of war at Puerto Mexico during the armistice »netween this Government’ and Huerta. The department had also been considering whether anything could be done by this Government to prevent the land- ing of a cargo and it practically had been determined that it could do nothing, without seizing the Puerto Custom House, an open violation of the armistice. Both the Kronprinzess and the Bavaria fly the German flag and are owned by the Hamburg-American Line. Army Preparations Go On. Reiterating today his declaration of last night that there was nothing “imminent” in the Mexican situation, and that “no aggressive’’ move was in contemplation, Secretary of War Garrison continued supervision of preparations to send the balance of division of the army to Orders have gone to the Brigades at Texas to reinforce Gen. the second Vera Cruz. Fourth and Sixth City to be ready Funston. Throughout the day War Depart- ment officials were engaged in gath- ering transports and up to noon ar- rangements had been made for il ships, including the four regular army transports now at Galveston. President Wilson again had under consideration today the proposed per- sonnel of ‘American delegates to par- the forthcoming media- tion conferenec at Niagara Falls. In that connection he conferred with Fred W. Lehman, former Solicitor- General, who arrived from St. Louis. No selections have yet been an- the President, however. It was stated on high authority this afternoon that the Presilent would select the three representa- tives of the United States from the following list: Associate Justices Charles Evan Hughes and Joseph Rucker Lamar of the United States Supreme Court; Fred W. Lehmann of st. Louis, and Newton Diehl Baker, Mayor of Cleveland, O. Mayor Baker already has acecpted a proffer from the President to act as a representa and it is expected Lehmann will by tomorrow. The South American mediation en- voys held another conference during the day, but made no announcemeis. The mediators were satisfied from telegrams received from Mexico City last midnight that the Huerta dele- gates would sail today from Vera Crus to Galveston and proceed direct to Niagara Falis for the conference opening on May 18. That the Huerta delegates actually would start today was taken as an indication that the point raised by Huerta as to the ob- servance of the so-called armistice had not led him to the point of with- nolding from the conference. It was expected the Huerta delegates would receive a safe conduct through Vera Cruz. but their plans for reaching théir destination were not known. The ticipate in nounced bY tive ARMS FOR HUERTA NOT TO BE LANDED BY GERMAN SHIPS WASHINGTON, May 9.—On receipt of information from Havana from American Consul Rodgers, who had been watching the situation, that munitions consigned to Gen. Huerta on German ships would be returned to Germany as a result of action mended by agents of the vessels,’’ Secretary of State Bryan today announced that apprehension concerning shipments of arms to the Huerta Government had been averted.

LEHMANN, ‘*‘recom- to Germany by order of agents ted to Huerta today the reply of the American Government to his protest that the United States had broken the truce by landing additional troops at Vera Cruz. Secretary Bryan declared that no aggressive steps had. been taken by the United States forces and that nothing had been done to violate the armistice. The three mediators took the view that Huerta could be convinced that the United States had not violated it in spirit at least. While the diplomatic and military phases of the international drama compelled much attention observers turned to developments in the Huerta-Carranza asatrife. Rebels ex- pressed confidence that their troops would drive the Federals out of Tam- pieo in the next three or four davs. That development [ft was hoped in some quarters would relieve tension over the menace to foreign property in the Tampico oil district. American and foreign refugees ar- riving at Vera Cruz from the Interior stated that all was quiet in Mexico City where Huerta had asserted he would see his capital in ashes before he would quit. The refugees praised Mexican officers for their eonduct and evident anxiety to see that United States citizens were courteously treated. Reports reached San Diego, Cal., that two Americans had been killed and two wounded at a mine near Guadalajara. Many inquiries as to the possibility of employing state militia during «the Mexican crisis were received in Wash- ington today. They were inspired by questions sent to Governors of the states asking about the condition of the National Guard. Indications today were that the militiamen would be used for patrol duty if it became necessary to call them out. They would relieve regu- lar troops now on duty along the border and making them available for field duty. _ CONSUL SILLMAN IS REPORTED TO BE SAFE Grave Fears Had Been Enter- tained For American Official, Held at Saltillo.

Diepeteh and dh wiped Copyright, 1214 14 by E "preas Publishing Co. ork World.) VERA CRUZ, May 9.—Gen. Huerta said this to me in Mexico City last Wednesday: “I hope you have not come all this way to ask me again whether I will re- sign, for I am.weary of being asked this impertinent question by American newspapers, who have even gone so far as to cable me about it. Only the other day a representative of your paper here sent me the same question again in 4 categorical written form and I answered him just as categorically that 1 have no intention whatever or resrgning and to make quite sure the American pubiic should at least understand me, I had my secretary send my denijal to all the remaining foreign press correspondents here and furthermore, carsed the Im- yarcial and other newspapers of the capital to publish my denial here at. home. “Why should I resign? I have been called to my place as the provisional head of the only constitutional govern- ment of Mexico. It was with the pre- cept of our national constitution and now that our country is in trouble it s my duty to stay In my appointed place anc hold tight the reins of govermment until such time ag my term is up or until the enemies of our constitutional government shall succeed in definitely overthrowiftg me. Ready for His Fate. “Whatever may come, I shall certain: ly face my fate and take it ag it comes. I know many American newspapers say that I am preparing to slip away and flee to Europe, but you, who haves known me as a soldier and who saw us In the battle days of Cone Jose, Rellan» and Bachimba, must know me too well to believe me capable of such cowardice. “No, I am not like Madero’s poor friend, Gen. Gonzales, who committed suicide just because one battle turned against him. I prefer to follow the example of such stalwart Mexican presi- dents of the past as Guadelupe, Victoria Commanicolas Bravo, Commonfort, Ben- ite Juarez and Porfiro Diaz, who had to face many adversities and disasters to their arms, but who never flinched and never forgot their duty to this sorely beset republic. “Apart from my political enemies who wish to put. themselves and their fol- lowers in our places, and apart from the present leader of our old, traditional enemy, the Republic of the North, who is clamoring for my resignation? All the best people of Mexico, of the most populous regions of the center and the South, are standing behind me. If you don’t ‘believe it, just look at the thou- sands of war volunteers marching through our streets every day acclaim- ing our government. Regrettable Incidents. “Even the foreigners who are being wrenched from their profitable pursuits here, not by me, but by ths cruel and alarming importunities of the American Government, if they could have held a popular vote or census of their own, would not have hesitated to uphold me and my government. I know it because many of them have told me so and many Americans here even went so far as to sign a public memorandum of protest in my behalf. This was but just, for is it not a fact that not a single American foreigner has been harmed by an order of mine! On the contrary, I have always done all in my power to safeguard their persons and property. “There have been regrettable incidents, I know, like the Vergara and the Tam- pico incidents, which happened without my knowledge and would sever have been tolerated by me and I have also had to expel some foreign “yellow jour- nalists” because of their pernicious men- dacity, but in my general dealings with foreigners all my efforts have always been toward correctness and fairness, which is certainly more than can be said of my political opponents in the North “What would be said of me. | ask if I bad shot down an Englishman just because he dared to voice a protest against my methods of government, or what clamor would not have been raised against me in the United States if I had expelled and robbed and ruined Span- jards by a single stroke, as was Gone the other day in Torreon, thus commit- ting an effrontery not only to Spain but also to the Americsn Government? “These Spaniards, «ith other foreign- 7 € ernment hac announced. were ee ok placed under the protection of | American Guvernment. whieh was duly represented by a fegular, confidential prague agent of the United S:ates, canic eruption, dozen villages on the slopes of Mount Etna last night. . | Maria Ammalati, Bongiardo. nia, bringing stories of ruin and disaster. the authorities to take immediate steps to start measures of re- 1; orders from Rome to render aid in the work of rescue.

These fig- ures probably will be increased by more detailed advices from the wrecked villages. A greater catastrophe was prevented by the fact that the final severe shock of earthquake was preceded by 60 others and many of the population had abandoned their houses and fled into the open country. Refugees declare that the property loss is as great as in the Messina disaster of 1908, which was put at a billion dollars. Fifty Dead in One Village, 20 in Three Others. Fifty persons are known to have been killed in the village of Linera, which was destroyed. Among the ruins of Passopomo, Bongiardo and Malati 20 bodies had been found this morning.

The vicinity of Catania, the scene of - Jast night’s earthquake, probably has suffered more than any other section iu the world from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Catania itself is built on a bed of lava at the foot of the vol- cano of Etna and most of its streets are paved with lava. Catania has a population of 140,000 and is the largest city in Sicily. It lies to the south of Messina on the east coast. Ever since its foundation, in B. C. 729, it has been visited frequently by earthquakes. in 121 A. D. it was partly destroyed by an eruption of Mount Etna. In 1169 it suffered severely from an earthquake. In 1669, during an eruption of Etna, a great stream of lava flowed toward Catania, but just in tims } course was diverted and the town saved. In 1693, when the whole of the island of Sicily was affected by an earthquake, Catania was destroyed. Marvard Scientists Say Quake /s of Voleanic Origin. CAMBRIDGE,.

Later in the evening I saw him come out on the palace balcony, responding to the cheers of a great multitude. Meanwhile his Adjutant, an old friend of mine, told me 1 might find Huerta about mid- night at the Circolo e money to Scherrer, Troll said he made repeated demands upon Scherrer for the payment of the interest due on the mortgage on the famous 57-acre strip of land which Scherrer bought in 1910 and subsequently used as the capital stock of his com- pany. This strip of land is several miles lon, and about one acre wide. It is a part of the right-of-way of the proposed Al- ton & Mississippi approach, and lies about a mile south of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad, with its western terminus about two miles from the Mississippi River. Before fhe disagreement between Troll and Scherrer, Troll was active in South St. Louis, creating sentiment in fayor of the Alton & Mississippi approach. Troll has long been identified actively with Republican politics in South St. Louis, and has exercised almost complete con- trol over several) wards. The suit which Troll filed against Scherrer and the Alton & Mississippi Co. in Belleville, Friday, to forecloss the mortgage on the 57-acre tract, was prepared by Harry Troll of St. Louis, half-brother of “‘Cap’’ Troll, and sent to an East St. Louis law firm. Troll says the suit was held up several days to give Scherrer a chance to make a set- tlement. When he failed to pay the interest due on the mortgage, the sult was ordered filed by “Cap” Troll. ve a job now. t at Loftis F floor. 307 N. The diamond did it 6 that | bough ..

Owsley, March 1, at 1219 Warren street, was un- able to agree on a verdict, after being out 44 hours, and was discharged at ll a. m. Saturday by Circuit Judge ones. When the jury was brought into court Judge Jones asked Charles Gilbert, the foreman, if there was any chance of an agreement. Gilbert said there did not seem to be any. After they had been discharged, it was learned the jurors had stood 9 to 3 for conviction of manslaughter in the fourth degree, for which the penalty is three months’ imprisonment in jail and a fine of $100 or a fine of $500 without imprisonment. In an effort to reach a compromise it was proposed the penalty be fixed at a $500 fine, with a recommendation that it be remitted, but the three would not even agree to that. Mrs. Owsley was in court. She said she had felt certain she would be ac- quitted and was sorry there had not been some kind of a verdict. Mrs. Ows- ley pleaded self-defense.

The city officials embarked last night on the Federal gunboat Gueér- rero, and the steamer Limantour, both of which are ready to sail for Salina Cruz. The Federals have abandoned the gunboat Morelos. A wild shot from the. Guerrero to- day passed through a street of the city, creatng a panic. As a result of a three days’ battle the townspeople are in a state of ter- ror and hundreds are fleeing. It is reported than C. B. Helley, an American and G. H.

TRINIDAD, Colo., May 9.—Federal army officers today began to receive arms and ammunition from all residents of the Trinidad districts in the strike zone, pursuant to the proclamation pub- ished late yesterday, calling upon law- abiding citizens to surrender all classes of arms to the Federal troops. The strikers gathered at the tent colony in San Rafael Heights. Citizens appeared with weapons at the various places which had been prescribed by the proc- lamation. As each gun was surrendered a re- ceipt was made out in triplicate. A copy of the receipt was given to the of- ficers of the United Mine Workers cf America here, another to the owner of the weapon and the third was kept by the army officer. No intimation was given by the officers in charge as to what would become of the weapon ulti- mately except the assurances that the arms would not be given out again by the troops to any save their rightful owners. Possibly they will be confiscat- ed by the Federal Government, Arms May Be Seized, At every designated depository crowds ef curious assembled and speculation was rife as to the total number of guns which would be received by the army officers in compliance with the procla- mation. The officers themselves did not believe they would obtain even a major- ity of the guns in the district. Prac- tically all of the army officers in execu- tive positions have had experience in the Philippine Islands in disarming the natives and have indicated that they might pursue the course adopted there, that of a discriminate search and seizure. ‘‘Any member of the union failing to comply with the order to surrender weapons will be stricken from the relief list and barred from membership in the United Mine Workers of America," con- cluded the union order, sent out by William Diamong, international repre- sentative of the union. Miners Would See Wilson. The mine operators’ statement read: “Our guns have been waiting collec- tion by the Federal officers for some time, and when the soldiers gu for ther they will find them all there—machine guns and all.” Col. James Lockett, commanding the Eleventh United States Cavalry detailed to the southern strike district declined to detach a detail from his force to go to the northern fields to which he had been urged to send help. Col. Lockett said that he had no official call for aid but only reports from citizens apd miners. He advised Gov. Ammons that he might send state troops thither if he; thought it necessary. Union officials planned yesterday co obtain an audience with President Wil- son concerning the re-establishment wu: the Ludlow tent colony. Col. Lockett has refused to treat further concerning this phase of the situation. . > ae Colorado Assembly Debates $1,000,000 Bond Issue and Arms Embargo.

By Wire From the Washisgtes Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 9%.—The Inter- state Commerce on has issued subpenas commanding the appearance in Washington next week of some of thé directors responsible for the man- agement of the New Haven. Railroad during the period that many millions of its dollars “vanished in thin air.” The directors upon whom subpenas were served or will be served are Wil- liam Rockefeller, Lewis Cass Ledyard, F. Baker. These men, all prominent in the “who's who” in the millionaire: clubs, are to be asked to explain why they permitted thé expenditures of vast sums of money belonging to the stock- holders for unprofitable trolleys, steam- ships, the promotion of political am- bitions, the passage or defeat of legig- lative measures, as well as sums given to lobbyists and other persons who ren- dered questionable service in return for the. amounts paid them. White the commission is preparing for the quizzing of these directors the Comp- troller of the Currency is contemplating some action against the National City Bank of New York for violations of the Federal banking laws in ~ connection with the transactions of the mysterious Billard company which has already; been shown to have been really a sub- sidiary to the New Haven Railroad Co. Billard Berrewed $11,000,000, John T. Billard, the Connecticut coal dealer, who brought the Billard com- pany into existence and sprung into the limelight over night as the pur- chaser of the Boston & Maine Railroad, testified yesterday that he had borrowed $11,000,000 from the National City Bank, depositing 109,800 shares of Boston & Maine stock as security. He obtained this stock from the New Haven at $12% a share, and by deviqus manipulation sold it back to the same company for $150, making a profit of $2,743,000. The point in Billard’s testimony that interested the Comptroller of Currency is that if Billiard’s testimony is true the National City Bank is gufity of violating section 56200 of the National bank law, which provides: “The total liabilities to any associa- tion or any person or of any company, corporation or firm for money bor- rowed, including the labilities of the several members thereof, shall at 10 time exceed one-tenth part of the amount of capital stock of said asso- ciations actually paid in and unim- paired and one-tenth part of its un- impaired surplus fund; provided, however, that the total of such lia- bility shall im no event exceed 30 per centum of the capital stock of the association. But the discount of pbilis of exchange drawn in good faith against actual existing values and the discount of commercia] or busi- ness paper actually owned by the person negotiating the same shall not be considered as money bor- rowed.” Limited te $5,000,000 Lean. In 1909, the date of the $11,000,000 transaction between John L. Billard and the National City Bazk, the cap- ital stock of the National City Bank of New York was $26,000,000, and its surplus $25,000,000. These facts are set forth in the sworn statement of the officials of the bank to the Comp- troller of the Currency. Under the law the bank was limited to loaning any one person 36,000,000, or 10 per cent of its capital and sur- pilus. Billard has sworn that he bor- rowed $11,000,000, or 20 per cent of the bank’s capital and surplus. Beyond admitting that he had re- quested the Interstate Commerce Commission to turn over the check for $11,000,000 which figured in the Bil- lard-National City Bank transaction, Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams would not discuss the matter today. It was learned, however, that he will confer with Attorney-General McReynolds on Monday to Jetermine what steps shall be taken against the National City Bank. ‘ In previous cases where national banks have violated the provisions of the banking act, charters of the of- fending banks have beet, revoked. it is within the province of the Comp- troller of the Currenoy to prescribe the penalty to be enforced, RICH ST.

WASHINGTON, May 9.—Thousands of suffragisiae from every state in the Union paraded through Washington streets today to the Capitol, where they besieged Congress with petitions demanding passage of a resolution for constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. There were 531° women in the ‘Petition brigade,” and marching with them were hundreds of flower-garlanded girls, a chorus 1000 strong, 1 bands, divisions of suffrage cavalry, members of many suffrage or- ganizations and a delegation from the Pennsylvania Men's League for Suf- frage. Throngs began to line the route. of the parade early in the day, They stretched along streets from Lafayette Park, the starting point of the pageant, to the east plaza of the Capitol, where the climax of the demonstration was to be enacted by the singing of the new suffrage pean by Miss Ethel Smyth of England. To the accompaniment of the massed bands 100 white robed women wearing stoles of green were to sing the ‘March of the Women,” for which they had been rehearsing for weeks. the army of suffragists, who have been gathering here during the week until long before noon it was est there were more than ‘5000 nst here. Many of the delegations brought their fife and drum. corps and marching squadrons of girls. . Barly in the day the suffragists be- gan to gather about Lafayette Park op- posite the White House. Many of them made no attempt to crowd Into the theater where Mrs. William Kent, wife of Representative Kent of California. presided at a mass meeting at which Senator Bristow and Representative Mondell, who fathered the suffragist resolution in Congress, spoke. Mrs. Julia Barrett Rubles, mounted grand marshal of the procession, with her aids, reached the park with Mrs. George Odell, chairman of the foot marshals, and soon after their aids began arriv- ing to weld the numerous delegations into pageant line. A huge banner to be carried at the head of the parade was unfurled. On it was this inscription: “We demand the passage of the Bris- tow-Mondell resolution.” Members of the cavalry sections with their purple, white and gold flags dashed in and out through the throng lining up the white garbed chorus wom- en, yellow-sashed flower girls, delega- tions of union women wearing uniforms of their trades and the girls of the pageant division who were to typify “Spring, Youth and Hope.” Unusual precautions had been taken by the police to prevent a repetition of scenes of disorder which marked iast year’s parade. Early in the day as the throngs of marchers began to gather it became evident that the parade would be the greatest suffrage demonstration ever witnessed in Washington. At the Capitol awaiting the coming of the marchers were Senators Thomas, Bristow, Owen, Chamberlain, Poindex- ter, Sterling, Gallinger, Kenyon, Suther- land, Jones and Thompson and Repre- sentatives Mondell, Falconer, Stone, Rapley, Bryan of Washington, Sabath, Campbell, Knowland, Kahn, Keating and Maddeén.

(Harper’s.) : STORY OF DEPRAVED SOCIETY. HE first reflection in which one indulges after reading Rupert Hughes’ novel, ‘“‘What Will People if faithful in iis atmosphere, incidents and charac- ters, constitutes an appalling indictment of New York's high society. The validity of the indictment must needs depend, as a matter of course, upon the authenticity of the evidence submitted in proof. The Hughes indictment charges New York society with criminal depravity in the first degree, so to speak. This society, according to ‘“‘What Will People Say?’ is almost’ incredibly profligate and bestially licentious. Unlike the world’s earlier patrician classes that be- came corrupt through luxury, the aristo- crates of wealth who figure in Mr. Hughes’ story have no claim to dis- ‘tinction save that conferred by wealth alone. They are bare of all dignity. They are a dirty-souled lot of roistering beg- tars on horseback. Their women are hideously selfish and unchaste. Their men are sordid in their work and ani- mally sensual in their play. The only sin condemned is the sin of being found eut. The favorite social game of this society, according to ‘What Will People Say?” is that of so shrewdly indulging in liaisons that no forfeits are incurred through shaimeful publicity due to bung- ling an intrigue. This indicates a truly terrifying con- dition. One refuses to believe in the ex: istence of such a state of things unless evidence stronger than a work of fic- tion is submitted. Fair play, to rich and poor alike, is a jewel. *Lieut. Forbes, U. 8S.

She returned his love and they enjoyed many celirious tangoes tegeth- er, her Circe-like charm obsessing Forbes, body and soul. Believing him a millionaire, she protnises to become his wife.

Doran Ce.) - ,PENROD, THE TOWN’S BAD BOY, va surnamed Schofield, ll years o.d, about whom Booth Tarkington writes, was admit- ted to be te werst boy in his home town of 135,000. ProBably he grew up to be one of the town’s. best citizens. At any rate, he wus a leader, and you'll like the story of this bad boy’s adven- tures and exploiis. Penrod is introduced as the Child Sir Lancelot in a homemade ‘produc- tion founded on Round Table traditions. He breaks up the play because he won't wear the fantastic costume mother and big sister put hit” in~ ‘Boy-like, he rebelled at the flanjlig ree ttiake made from garments which tnose wno viewed the Schofic!d back yard: on .Mondays might have recogiiized. Penrod’s career, so far as the book is concerned, ends for us on his twelfth birthday, with a grand party, and danc- ing in a tent on the lawn. Fathers and mothers, who left the children to their own devices are scandalized to find them dancing the tango in its most up- to-date form—the steps having been introduced by a city-wise and much- U"}-! At the, little miss. Hetween the two incidents Penrod cceps things moving all the time. Read of his alliance with Herman and Ver- man, two little negro boys, and of their circus, exploiting a typical mother's darling as the nephew of a ‘famous murderess ‘‘about to be hung.”’ Consid- e: his recipe for making smallpox med- icine from the contents of a score of old bottles found in the ash-heap, and pailming it off on one of his compan- ions as “liquish water.’’ Penrod is a young man of many moods. One day he is the gallant trou- badour walking beside his adored one, playing her tunes on a secondhand 40- cent accordion. The next day his ven- geance is terrible when the same adored one calls him a “‘‘little gentleman,” and he proceeds to cover her and her baby brother with soft tar left in a vat by street repairers. It is rather a difficult task to write ebout children in such a way as to interest grownups. But Mr. Tarkington knows how to do it. This story will interest fathers and mothers universally, and make its ap- peal, too, to the childless—because we can all remember our own early ex- periences. In “‘Penrod’’ you Will be sure to find something to remind you of your own childhood. One wonders whether Mr. Tarking- ton, when he wrote the stories, didn’t draw on his own boyhood experiences— perhaps in somewhat exaggerated form. (Doubleday-Page.)

‘Votes Not to Concur in Substitu- _ tion of Ash Hauling for Coliseum Fund. Prospects of an early passage of the City budget went glimmering Friday when the Council voted not to concur in the House of Delegates amendment sub- stituting an ash hauling fund of $150,000 for the $150,000 set aside by the Council & Week ago for the purchase of the | ‘The Council reconsidered its action » gent the appropriation bill back to he House.

There have been ‘conflicting dect- sions in thé Supreme Court as to whether the signing of a bill by the presiding officer of a legislative body is a ministerial or @ legislative act. It is held in the Rombauer code that the mere signing is a ministerial duty which the presiding officer can’ be compelled to perform. This is based on a decision of the Supreme Couf+, but that court has since reversed its position, holding that signing is a legislative act, beyond the control of the courts. If the bill is not signed by May 26 the tax rate of last year, $2.22, will stand, and there will be a lack of funds in many of the departments. The appropriation bill may be revived by the Council next Tuesday, in the opinion of Clerk David W. Voyles, a student of parliamentary law. He claims the action of the House Friday night was tantamount to an insistance on its previous amendments, which makes it optional with the Council to ask for a conference or kill the bill. If the bill dies it will require five meet- ings on different days by the two branches of the Assembly to get another measure to passage, and means a delay until June 1, at least, unless special meetings are held. —— and Councilmen and Delégates were con-/ fident a week ago that the pay rolls would be dispensed to city employes by | the end of this week, but: the proposed Coliseum purchase has disrupted plans. The Council Ways and Means Commit- tee walked out of Comptroller Player's office five minutes before the Council met jast Friday, after assuring him they would recommend a $2.30 tax rate bill and would not ask appropriations for the Coliseum or the Payne tract adjoining Tower Grove Park. President Lazarus of the Council talked with Councilman Arendes and other members of the committee and persuaded them to recommend a $2.35 rate and the pur- chase of both properties. The House, by unanimous vote, turned down the Coliseum project and allowed the Payne tract item to stand on the assurance that a test case would be in- stituted by taxpayers if an attempt were made to purchase it. The $2.35 tax rate was agreed to by the House, and the surplus revenue ws set aside in the budget for the hauling of ashes at the request of civic organizations. The House also struck out of the budg- et an item of $16,000, to be used in elevating houses near the Tower Grove grade crossing for ownérs who have agreed to walve damages. This amend- ment, together with the ash hauling, was rejected Friday by the Council, de- spite the plea of Councilman Hines, a house mover by occupation, who sald it would be unfair competition against men in his business for the city to un- dertake work that might be contracted for privately.

WILL NOT TAKE UP MO. PAC. NOTES New York Bankers . Refuse to Undertake $25,000,000 Deal for Gould Railroad. By Leased Wire From the New York Baresu of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 9.—After negotia- tions had continued for a fortnight or longer, the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.’ declined: to finance the $2%,- 000,000 of notes of the Missouri Pacific which matures June 1. The decision caused great disappointment today in the financial: district and served to in- crease the apprehension of the stock- holders of that system as to its finan- ciel future. An official statement will be issued today. Otto H. Kuhn, who is credited with having conducted the tentative negotiations with the gold interests, said: “After a careful examination of Mis- sourl Pacific's financial and physical condition, we have come to the con- clusion that we cannot undertake the extension of the $25,000,000 of notes which mature June 1. ‘Our reason for refusing to finance the Missouri Pa- cific needs at present, is stated in de- tail in a letter which we have sent to the Missouri Pacific Railway.” Bankers’ Letter Kept Secret. Kuhn was asked if this action might be accepted as meaning that his firm would not at, some future time enter into negotiations with the Missouri Pa- cifle management for financing of the company’s necessities. He answered: “I do not care to enter into any fur- ther discussion of the subject at pres- ent.”” Officers of the Missouri Pacific com- Lany declined to give out the text of the bankers’ communication. The opin- ion was generally expressed, however, in the financial district that the refusal was not due to dissatisfaction over the company’s physical condition or its prob- able earning capacity, but to inability to make satisfactory terms with the argest stockholding interests in the property. It is said the directors of the Missouri Pacific will devpte their attention to a plan for financing the $25,000,000 of notes rroposed by Speyer & Co. before ne- gotiations were opened with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Gould Issues Weak on Market. This plan provides for an issue of 6 per cent notes, carrying collateral in addition to that pledged for the present issue. The outstanding notes carry in- terest at the rate of 5 per cent and in addition to the 1 per cent increase in interest, depositing noteholders will re- ceive a bonus in the shape of a 2 per cent cash payment. Directors of the Missourli-Pacific were holding a special session at the time the bankers issued their statement, but soon adjourned to meet again today. Speyer & Co., who floated the notes now falling due and who are repre- sented in the Missouri Pacific directory would not discuss the latest turn of events, except to express the belief that the demands of the note holders must be met. Missouri Pacific and other Gould is- sues were among the weakest features of the day’s reactionary stock market. Realistic Reproduction of Oriental Caravan Scene at Grand-Leader. One of the: cleverest arangements of mechanical toys representing real life is on exhibition now in the Oriental rug department on the fourth floor of the Rice, Stix & Baer Dry Goods Store (the Grand-Leader) and depicts a realistic scene of a caravan on the desert, which is based upon the old German fairy tale of “The Caliph Turned to a Stork.” The whole scene is a replica of one from the great deserts of the Orient and is fascinating not only to children but their parents as well. There is a caravan merchant shown bringing his rugs and other wares to the Caliph. Following the merchant are his friends, his guards and a re- tinue of servants with the heavily ladened camels. The caravan is received at the great palace by the @aliph, richly attired, at the entrance. As the caravan arrives the priests chant and the slaves sa- laam. All of this and the painted scen- ery gives the whole scene a truly Orient- al effect that is equaled only on the stage of a theater. a , Sister Seeks Joseph Barker.

The milk fn the A. & M. cocoanut is oozing out. The suit of “Cap” Troll against Leo J. Scherrer discloses facts which explain the speculative scheme back of the bridge grab. It appears from Troll’s etatement in connection with his foreclosure proceedings against Scherrer that Troll holds the mortgage to the famous 5/- acre tract which was the principal asset of the Alton & Mississippi. Troll financed Scherrer and holds options on several tracts of land near the ree A. & M. approach line. The flimsy character’ of the rights offered the city by Scherrer is shown by the fact that the loss of the land mortgaged to Troll makes it impossible for Scherrer to give the city the right of way for the A. & M. approach. His interest in the scheme hung on a ‘shadowy equity in a piece of mortgaged land.- The whole scheme is exposed as a speculative bubble created by a promoter and a politician for personal gain. It was a job put up on the city. The facts verify everything the Post-Dispatch printed about the grab. They justify the tre- mendous popular campaign of the Post-Dispatch and the Citizens’ Committee for the Reber ap- proach bonds. What about the House A. & M. combine? How can its members and their apologists justify their + | It is said that “Cap” Troll’s political influence induced the House combine to stard by the A. & M. grab in order that he might realize on bis mortgage and land equities. If this is all that held the combine together, Troll has a powerful pull. The disclosures emphasize the necessity of prompt and favorable action on the bridge bonds. With the bursting of the A. & M. bubble the House combine might be willing to carry out the P EXIT MRS. 0’ LEARY’S COW. Mrs. O’Leary’s cow did not upset the lamp in a De Koven -street stable. She did not cause the great Chicago fire that burned up $190,000,000 worth of property. She is not entitled to her niche in history as the cow whose hind leg re- coiled in the most expensive kick-that ever flew out from hoof of the bovine family. Mrs. Rebecca Thrift—mockery of a name for one who destroyed so much thrift—caused that fire. She has said so herself, in a dying confes- sion made in the County Infirmary at Lima, O., but Chicago will investigate. Chicago does well to investigate. Next to her pleasant social habit of wearing dress suits at formal breakfasts and her profit-sharing arrangement with her trac- tion companies, nothing has yielded Chicago as much of the very cream of publicity as her} pyromaniac cow. What was once deemed a heavy Hability was long ago appraised as one of the most precious of civic assets. When Chicago reduces its history to a pageant, Mrs. Thrift carrying a firebrand might be more easily managed than a cow that would kick at a psychological moment, but that’s Mr. Mackaye’s lookout. Chicago without its O’Leary cow would be as unrecognizable as Missouri without its houn’ dawg. By the way, will the houn’ dawg have a place in our pageant? A FARM FOR THE WOREHOUSE. Capt. Primavesi, Superintendent of the Work- house should have his wish that the quarry at that institution be discontinued and that the city try farming and gardening as a means of reformation for offenders sentenced to the Work- house, instead of stone breaking. The idea is based upon humane sentiment as well as increased utility. If it be true that God the first garden made And the first city Cain, it is also probable that Cain or his descendants dug the first quarry and started the first rock- pile. “Rock-pile”—obnoxious word, suggestive of direst drudgery and stoniest hearts. Who but a geologist or a street contractor can find any in- terest in its creation and growth? But a farm, a garden, or a combination of both, how full of life, of diversity, of varied interests! There are the animals, of whom’Walt Whitman sung: They are so placid and self-contained, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth, and there are vehicles, crops, trees, birds, occa- sional wild things, and the open sky. You are not down in a hole in the ground, but on earth’s surface, with a view that speaks of freedom. And meanwhile you are performing a service that has always been held in high honor. Kansas City and other cities havé created municipal farms of this kind and found it profit- able both to the workhouse prisoners and the community. St. Louis cannot make the change any too soon. = = '- - . SHOULD WOMEN PARADE? Today many hundreds of women parade the streets of the nation’s capital, for the second time, in the interest of the woman suffrage cru- sade. And, incidental to this event, the news- papers have received a circular from Washington voicing the sentiments of the National Woman Suffrage Association and asking “Should women parade?” Of course women should parade, if they want to, with banners, badges and-bands. It is ‘their, privilege, and they should be protected in it. It is excellent exercise. It brings them out in the fresh air and gives them an opportunity to be eee of men. It ie impossible te, understand the male oppo- sition to a women’s parade, even in dignified Washington.

Robbers usually have to work hard for what they get, and sometimes for what they don’t get.. But few of this industrious class have ever shown the prodigious ‘energy or ingenuity of the nameless hero of Thursday night—indefatigable felon who, by the sweat of his brow. pulled the corner stone out of the Lutheran Church wall, cut open the copper box, and extracted the Co- lumbian half dollar which was to have rewarded the delving of future numismatist and archaeol- ogist into the ruins of our crumbled civilization. Let us bestow a passing censure on the felony, vandalism and profanation of a religious edifice, to come at the amazfng economic phase of the case. A Columbian half dollar is 50 cents. There's no premium on it worth mentioning. ‘It is just “four bits’’ over the bar—and that is where most of it went, we make no doubt. A hard-working burglar, after straining all night at a corner stone and sealed copper box, would naturally refresh himself with some good working man’s beers. And to think that he could buy only ten at most with the earnings of a long night shift! What amazes the thoughtful mind is that a big strong man of unusual intelligence would sell his labor so cheap. Isn’t he a laborer worthy of his hire? The self-respecting stonemason who blocked and trimmed and put in that same corner stone probably got 65 or 70 cents an hour, and the worthy coppersmith who fashioned the box an equal rate. They could take their time to it decently in board daylight, without having to keep one eye out for the policeman, and they doubtless made enough honestly out of the job to pay rent and buy groceries and malty brew besides. For.a night shift they would have charged double. We don’t want to bear down too hard on poor burglars, but the more we see of their work, the more firmly we are convinced they are a lot of cheap and contemptible rane, fools and abandoned wretches. —— = = * ——S— = BRITAIN’S TAX LOAD. Under Lloyd-George’s new budget, the British income tax rises to nearly 13 per cent upon the largest incomes. The exemption remains as be- fore, $800, with an added $50 allowed for each child under 16 in incomes under $2500. The new American income tax exempts incomes of $3000 for single and $4000 for married men, and rises o 7 per cent on incomes above $500,000. While the new British income tax is roughly double ours at the top, it falls upon a larger num- ber of incomes by reason of its small exemption. ——e ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1914. —— A tax to which we have no parallel is that upon estates. Death duties begin at 1 per cent upon estates exceeding $500, rise under the new rates to 20 per cent upon the very largest estates.

A Chicago man, a leader in the commercial life of that city, is quoted as saying: “Among the men I hire, nine out of ten are better workers at 45 years of age than are the meén of 25 or 30.” This man firmly believes that the man of 45 or thereabouts is at the prime of life, physically |” and mentally.

On the contrary, greater contact with thern men of energy will bring about needed re- forms in our social and business life and encourage a spirit of greater energy, optimism and more scien- tific methods in trade. It is import- ant for all Peruvians to consider that foreign capital, and particularly that under the American flag, should be- come interested in Peru, it will be a much more effective means of protection than any armies or navies we could form or build.

In‘his locker on board he had a new suit of clothes and in it he was going to win Yvonne. That day and night they spent creep- ing up the river in pouring rain, with- out wind. Tatu worked silently all da Towards evening they hailed a freight ship bound outwards for Buenos Ayres. The news was of rain; rain incredible, steady, relentless. Above Bordeaux the river had risen and flooded the villages. At Cadillac? Tatu fearfully queried— no, not as yet. He breathed again. Near Cadillac, right down on the water, in the quaint- est of old cottages, lived Yvonne and her old grandmother, Commere Jeanne. He rose at six, dressed in the new suit and sét out. A car took him along the quays to the Gare Saint Jean, and a lumbering local train landed him, at $ o'clock, at Cadillac. Two smiles sped. Close to him the great river swirled and thundered, ita volce almost a menace. His heart sang. Life was a lyric!

The rain stopped suddenly Then came a clap of thunder, a single agonizing glare of lightning, and then nothing but the steady thunder of the river without, and the quick swish of the water within. At his feet clung Yvonne, her face white as paper. Across, on the side of the room, pressed against the wall by the current, sat old Com- mere Jeanne in her cheir, a pitiful, hud- died figure, with black eyes glinting. “For God's sake,’’ whispered Yvonne, “go out to the boat house.

And then as they turned away she cricd shrilly: “Yes, yes, you may have her. For the love of God don’t leave me to drown!” Yvonne was won. Tatu never knew how he carried those two figures through the wild water, placed them in the boat and launched it upon the flood. Throughout the whole of the night he sat at the helm, watch- ing through the darkness—each mo- ment full of danger on the torrent. The storm ceased. Stars appeared. Still he sat, tight-lipped, steering. Now and then his free arm pressed Yvonne gent- ly, and she responded. Now and then Commere Jeanne muttered prayer in her hard old voice. Dawn came.

Her eyes were the color of the sky o" a very pretty dzy, and that is the ‘rea- son the Soldier named her Blue-Eyes. Blue-Eyes stood in a box, and she was fastened in it, or she would hav: fallen right into the Soldier’s arms, I expect. That is, if he had turned just the least bit towards her. The Soldier stood with his back nearly turned to Blue-Eyes, but still he could see her out of the corner of one eye iv the day time. At night, of course, he turned rigat around ard looked straight at her ntil daylight. This Soldier wore a suit of white—that ts, his coat was white, with gold braid across the front and epau- lets of gold fringe. His trousers were of blue, with gold braid down the sides, but the most beautiful thing about his Whole costumv was a gold stick he carried in one hand, with a ball on one end. On his head he wore a tall hat of fur. Brown fur it was, and.a little strap went under his chin to hold it in place. The first time Blue-Eyes saw that hat she thought right off, ‘‘What a lovely muff that would make,’’ and she looked so hard that one night the Soldier turned right around. When he saw Bilue-Eyes he fell in love with her at once. ‘‘How long have you been here?’ he asked. “Some months,"’ answered Blue-Eyes, “but you are a newcomer, aren’t you?” ‘Yes, I came only a short time ago.” “IT know why you were selected for the window,’' said the Soldier. ‘The best ones are always put there, and I am sure none of the others had such beautiful blue eyes as yours. I shal’ call You Blue-Eyes after this.” “I am afraid you are a fiatterer,” said Blue-Eyes, trying to lower the lid of her eyes, but she was stand- ing up, and of course it was impos- sible. “Your hat is very handsome,” she said, “but I should think it would be very heavy and hot to wear all the time.” Every night for a long time after this the little Soldier turned around and looked at Blue-Eyes, and one night he told her of his love for her; but Blue-Eyes thought only of the fur hat and what a beautiful muff it would make, and the only reply she made was to ask if he ever removed his hat. The little Soldier could not imag- ine what that had to do with her Le —S Dr. T.

The Archiv fur Eisenbahnwesen, offi- cial organ of the German State rail- ways, has been making a comparison of rail rates in Germany and the United States for the years 1907 to 1911, inclu- sive, in an unsuccessful attempt to es- tablish a low German average. The Bu- reau of Railway Statistics of the United States has issued a bulletin stating that the rates for all railways on all com- modities for both codntries shows a German average of 1.27 cents a ton mile, 15 cent for the United States.

These. are. smal] things to the. young nian who has courage. They are greai barriers only to the young man who has rot courage. To the courageous young man a bat- tle is_a thing to be won—a mountain a thing to be climbed—a torrent a thing to: be bridged or forded. His mind is busy with plans for achieving the end. He does not yield his: mind wholly to thoughts of possible wounds or aching limbs or menacing whirlpools. If he thinks of these things it is only to guard in some way against them. Even though they inspire hint with terror, he subordinates them to the greater things of achievement. Courage doesn't consist of not know- ing fear. It is the element of per- sonal bravery which ‘enables us to face fear—and drives us:to overcome the things which inspire fear. Mere “fear- lessness’’ is a combination of blunted nerves and imagination. Courage is something finer. It is a matter of men- tal control, In the battle fighting, mountain climb- ing and torrent fording of business the young men without courage have no great economic place. A weakling is made, not by what he has or what he does or what he is, but as an old Gen- eral used to say, “by what he hasn't, doesn't and isn't/’ He is a negative. The young man who—to coin a word— is a “‘strongling.’’ is made by what he has, does and is. He has courage. It helps him to do great things, no matter what may oppose. He igs successful tn the end because his courdge lifts him over every obstacle. He has that in him which makes him de things.” Another Check Story.

Presently I undressed and put ‘t on, Even here, in our simple surround- ings, it had the same fascination for me that it had at Mme. Loraine’s and I laughed aloud in my delight. Emilie thinking I was trying to amuse her, laughed and crowed at me. After admiring myself for some time I reluctantly took it off, and as I folded it again in its wrappings I wondered what I should tell Jack about it. Final- ly Icput"it back in the box, which I pushed under the bed, without coming to any decision. I wouldn't wear it for a week, and who knew what might hap- pen in that time? Then I sat down and tried to figure out how I stood. I oved Mrs. Somers $200; Madame Loraine $100. I had run bills for the house of which Jack knew nothing of $12 or $14. To offset this I had just $60 of the $62 left in the bureau drawer,. Then there was the remainder of the doctor’s bill, some $35; and $25 for the carriage—Jack had paid for ais suit. If I wore the dress I should be obligv4 to have gloves, shoes and stockings to ‘tgo with it. That would take at least $10 more. Well, I was already in so deeb, I might as well get tn a little deeper—I reasoned with my non mathematical mind—so clipping a tiny plece off one of the seams for a sample, I left the baby with Mrs. Banks and went down- town to shop. I so wanted to stop for Nell or Gertle, but I had not decided to tell them of the dress, so of course could not ask them to go with me to buy the other things. I had quite a time matching ths color and it was long after luncheon time when I reached home, tired and with the tired feeling had come one cf remorse that I had allowed myself to be led into buying the dress. Already in my thoughts blaming Mrs. Somers— who knew nothing of our resources—in- aut as I sipped the tea and at. the crisp toast Mrs. Banks fixed for me, I gradually forgot all except how lovely I should look when dressed for the studio tea. That night Jack came in whistling. “T had a streak of luck today, dear!” he commenced. “A chap I loaned $20 to before we were mar- fied returned it today. I never ex- pected to get it, but the fellow was in such distress I couldn't refuse him, I btopped and gave the docton $10 and here's the other $10 for your dress. Do you think you can fix it for that?’ he asked anxiously. “I don’t know—I haven't thought any more about it,” I parried. Betis sce you _dotter think! You have less than a week.

Carrying only 19 men, eight of whom were pitchers and two catchers, he could not afford to lose a single man by benching, so muzzled his men. Knabe was little better off for sur- plus talent, but he did not heed the league orders. In fact, it’s impossible to muzzle Knabe. Now Brown is going to cut loose his men as soon as he lands some of the talent he’s scouting for. The policy of dignified silence will be cast aside and the name of Terriers better lived up to.

ANAGER BRANCH RICK- EY of the Browns stated today that arrangements for the transfer of Infielder Dee Walsh to the Rochester club of the International League had finally been completed. Walsh has con- sented to go. Manager Ganzel of the Rochester club held a long con- ference with Rickey. The Post-Dispatch announced that Walsh had consented to the trans- fer early during the present week. President Hedges of the Browns denied that Walsh would be sent there. By Long Distance Phone From. Cleve- land to the Post-Dispatch, George Baumgardner will probably pitch for the Browns, when they renew hostilities against the tail-end Naps In Cleveland this afternoon, according to Manager Rickey over the long-distance telephone today. Baumgardner usually baffles the Naps, and Rickey has visions of three successive victories over Bir- mingham, Lajoie & Co. Baumgardner’s last two outings have been excellent. He shut out the White Sox his last show, and went to a l2- inning draw with the Naps the time be- fore that. Manager Rickey says he believes in using the hurler best adapted for the work on a particular occasion. He dces not believe in the system of turns, used by some baseball leagues. ‘The pitchers will work in irregular order,’ said Manager Rickey in speak- ing of his plans. ‘‘For instance, Carl Weilman is due to pitch, but Baum- gardner will likely work today. Bill James, who has been especially ef- fective against the Cleveland club, will probably be my pitcher in the last game here Sunday.’ According to Rickey, Walter Lev- erenz will be instructed to depart from St. Louis tonight or tomorrow morning in time to join the main uad of Brownies for the trip East, whieh begins Sunday night. Rickey is hopeful that Leverenz will be able to share the pitching with Hamilton, Weilman, Baumgardner, James and Mitchell from now on. Rickey announces that Sam Agnew will do most of the catching. “When a pitcher starts to go bad it is not always his fault,” argues Rickey. “Often the fault is behind the bat and if the manager changes eatchers he will get better resuits than he would by shifting pitchers and sending ina pitcher who perhaps is not warmed u Rickey has given this theory a thorou trial. He worked this trick in Wednesday's game, replacing Rum.- ler with Agnew, and it had a salu- tory effect, Bil James steading at once. 2 EUGENE: I've changed my mind.

Sixth LOCAL PITCHERS LEAD FLINGERS IN TWO LEAGUES Bill James of the Browns and Doc Crandall of Feds Are the Stars. —- At the time of mailing the unofficial reports issued by Statistician Irwin Howe, Bill James, the Cleveland dis- card now with the Brownies, was lead- ing the pitchers of the American League with four victories and no defeats. His record otherwise does not look so Tre- markable, as he was hit by opponents for an average of more than one safety per inning, gave 20 bases on balls in 39 innings, owned two - wild pices and struck out only 12 men in innings. Main of Detroit and Caldwell of the Yankees each has three games won and no defeats. A Real Star. Caldwell’s pitching has been ace high, |‘ especially since he has been facing the atrong batsmen of the league, in the East. In three games, Caldwell has al- lowed only nine hits and has given only four bases on balls in 2% innings. N» wild pitches are against him. Not a run has been scored off him. Hamilton, who has a record of two won and three lost, is really pitching better ball than James. Doe Crandall in the Federal League has pitched 40 innings, been hit 29 times, struck out 12, had 16 runs scored against him and owns one wild pitch. Frank Smith of Baitimore is Cran- dall’s nearest rival, with three straight wins and no defeats. Smith, in 37 in- nings, does not own so reliable a record as Crandall. _ Claude Hendrix is really the star of the League, he owning five victories and one defeat. In 53 innings opponents have made but 14 runs off him. McQuillan Comes Back. Pittsburg is getting the best pitching in the National League at present, and it is this fact that gives the Pirates their strong grip on the lead. McQuil- lan and Cooper have both won all four of their starts, both owning fair per- formances when their work is analyzed. Cooper is showing better than McQuil- lan Conzelman has got away with a couple of wins. Babe Adams is doing the real pitching for the club, and this twirler will be the elub’s main reliance; his record is now 5 and 1, and he’ll be the toughest nut in the League to crack throughout the season, barring accidenta to himself or his support. Robinson, the former Pittsburg south- paw now with the Cardinals, is pitching good ball and has won three of four games. That they were not flukes is ae by his record, 36 innings, allow- 3 hits and orily six bases on balls— so ng some work is good, too, Willie Doak’s 3 Terriers Sit Up and Do Baelos Tricks mh Crandall; Win 7--6 After losing four in a row and “tum- bling out of “first place to the very brink of third place, the Terriers, with old ‘Doc’ Crandall as tutor, sat up and did a few parlor tricks Friday aft- ernoon. They won a perfectly good game by a scant margin from Rebel Oakes’ minstrel men, 7—6, and now are ready to fight their way back into the league lead, so they are. It was another free-hitting game, with the lively ball playing the lead. Two home runs, one of them the longest hit of the season, by E nnox, five doubles and 16 singles were compound- ed by the two teams. Several boards were knocked crooked by some of those singles that bounded back into the fair green a mile. M. Brown's brigade put on a noisy rally in the second frame and won the decision then and there. After one de- mise a shower of singles by Drake, Mathes, Crandall, Bridwell and Boucher netted five runs and a lead that was too big a handicap for the enemy to over- D come. Oakes was the hitting heraq, wtih doubles and a single ons of out.

Adams, a pitcher, who called at Sportsman's park and remained there for a week before George Stovall got wise to him, last summer, pitghed the last inning for Oakes’ team and got away with it, thanks to a double play. ee el Final Pittsburg Game Today; Terriers Start on a Tour of the East ‘Today's game at Federal Leagud park will close the first intersectional series in which the proteges of M.

NEW YORK, May 9.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “The report on the capital require- ments of the Rock Island Railway, submitted to the bondholders’ com- mittee by Mr. McKenna of the St. Paul, must be described as opening the discussion of the railway’s actual Situation, rather than closing it. “On the face of its estimates, this report seems to point to an annual expenditure, for improvement of property and Se iee:. | which is less than $1,000,000 above what the com- pany has actually sgent on the aver- age in the past five years. “But it is somewhat difficult to distinguish Mr. McKenna’s conclusion a5 tO what must. be spent, from his see e mont as to what the outlay ought oO be, “Furthermore, this report does not touch on the estimate by the com- pany’s chairman last March, as to what he imagined had to be raised to meet accruing liabilities before next July. “It is an that part. of the Schu- macher estimate that the weight of criticism has converged, and the po- Sition will not be clear until those igures are analyzed by competent experts. “Mr. Schumacher’s explanations, it will be recalled, were not borne out by the company’s own past balance sheet3 When this matter is determined, and the McKenna report on the physical re- quirements has been digested in the light of detailed particulars, not yec aa the’ whole situation should be clear, “It is impossible, in the meantime, to avoid a passing comment on the pitiful position in which the company’s actual management is left. Its service to the cause of reassuring investors for whose interest it was trustee, has been limited - to the issuance of a muddled estimate, coupled with the open threat that, un- less somebody else solved the problem company's finances, the manage- ment would desert the ship. “In the matter of obtaining a clear and authoritative view of ‘the company’s actual. situation, this management Tebow includes the individual, whose ling performances ‘in operation and e ventures in exploitation brought about the present troubles) has not lift- ed a finger. “The Statement showed a stronger position, in spite of the $1,000,000 gold shipment of the week to Paris. A gain of $7,400,000 cash was pretty closely in line with yes- cova e estimates, and it was accom- panied with a decrease in the loan account. On the actual showin the result was a $5,000,000 increase in the surplus; that item, for the banks in the Clearing House, is now far be- yond the usual figure for this time of the year, and $14,400,000 above this date in 1913. This explains the easy money markets it. remains to be seen ar the surplus will be affected, in the next few weeks by the antici- pated outward ee of gold.” WALL STREET SUMMARY, The Wall Street summary said: “Special meetin 7 Consolidated Gas Co. called for May to vote on $25,000,000 pea increase from $100,000,000 to $125,- uhn, Loeb & Co. refuse to finance 000 Missouri Pacific a.

When a feller’s poor they are always thinkin’ ‘“‘Can we afford to have it?’ but when he’s rich they change their tune to “‘Can we afford not to have it?’’ Mrs. Carrington Bruce called Ma up last Friday and out to their summer place to start get- tin’ it ready for the’ summer. “It would be fun,’’ she says, “for just vou folks and us to make a little week- end party of it. There's only the care- taker and his helpers there now, of course, but I can send some of the servants out ahead of us to have every- thing ready.”’ Ma said she thought it would be fine, and so did Clarice, though she said she hoped there wouldn’t be any war start up before we got back, because she hadn't finished gettin’ the things on her list for Charlie Higgins to take with him to the front.

But if their country house is a “‘cot- tage,”’ then an ordinary house ain't nothin’ but a dog-kennel. We went out in one of their automobiles. We came j;to two big stone posts and a driveway, with big trees all around, and a little ways back was a good-sized house that would be a mansion in Dobbinsville. “That's a nice place,’’ I says when we turned in between the posts. ‘‘Some bigger'n I thought it would be, but I guess when you have company you fill it up all right.’’ Mrs. Bruce laughed. “Oh,” she says, lookin’ at it careless like, ‘that's where our caretaker lives. Our cottage is half a mile away yet.’ And so it was. We went through a regular park, and came finally to the top of a little hill. Then Mr. Bruce had the chauffeur. stop the car, and there was the lake sparklin’ in the sun. Between us and the water was a whop- pin’ big house, all-spread out and sur- rounded by smaller buildin's, takin’ up all of an acre.

Well, it made a great impression on ma, and Sunday she made the Bruces take us over to look at the next es- tate, which Bruce said was for sale. It wasn't 1-2-3 and a basket of shucks to his, but it was grand enough at that for anybody.

John Temple Graves, who does not live in Georgia any more—says that a negro woman in his town was a bride of only two weeks when a switch engine ran over her husband as he loafed about the railroad yards. : With the desire—so characteristic of some of the legal profession—to do jus- tice speedily, the claim agent rounded up the widow before any other lawyer could get at her, towed her to his office, and there spread before her dazzled vision $500 in new shiny bills. The sorrowing one took one look at all that wealth, then grabbed for it with her left hand while with her right she signed on the dotted line A of the quit- claim. This done, she plucked a fra- grant yellow 2 off the top of the pile of currency and after inhaling its aroma fanned herself daintily with it. ‘ ‘Clarissa,’ said a woman friend who had accompanied her, “whut you reckin you goin’ do now sence you come into all dis money?” The widow exhaled a long and happy sigh. ‘‘Well,” she sald, “havin’ dis yere streak of luck comin’ on me so sudden, I ain't hardly made up mah mind yit jes’ whut I will do.
