NEW YORK, May 16.—Alarming re- ports concerning the condition of Julie Opp, actress, have caused her husband, William Faversham, to give up his the- atrical engagements so he may start on the Imperator today to join her at Araca, in Switzerland. Misg Opp is suffering from tuberculo- sis in an advanced stage. She was tak- en ill more than a year ago, but for a time the dangerous nature of her afflic- tion was not suspected. Several months ago she was obliged to give up her tour in Shakspearean plays with her hus- band and go to the Swiss health re- sort. She was accompanied abroad by her two sons. Faversham intends to go to Paris to consult Sir Félix Semon, the tübereu- losis expert, and then join his wife in Switzerland. The dangerous. state of her illness has compelled him to with- draw from his engagement to appear as lago in the Shakspearean Memorial Theater at Stratford-on-Avon this sum- mer and to give up his interest in the production of The Miracle,“ which will — made in Madison Square Garden next all. $40,000 FIRE IN PLANT OF MOON MOTOR CAR CO. Blaze Originates in Enameling Vat and Sweeps Fourth Floor—Fireman Hurt. Fire which started among chemicals in the paint department of the Moon Motor Car Co., First street and Cor- nella avenue, swept the fourth floor of the factory Saturday. Officials of the oc mpany estimated the loss at 340.000. The blaze began in an enameling vat. W. D. Cooper, 208 Hebert street, an employe of the company, said he had just put some panels into the vat when flames burst forth. Harry Sellman, a fireman of Engine Company No. 2, was cut on the right hand while trving to raise a window. Ennis Sawyer, %504 North Fourteenth street, an em- ploye of the company, was also cut on the hand by falling glass. The fire was brought under control within an hour after the alarm. The heaviest damage was from water. Falis From Window, Dies. Fred A. Weber, 19 years old, of 282 North Prairie avenue, died at the city hospital Friday night from injuries re- ceived when he fell a few hours before from a third-story window at 614 North VORGEE WANTS DECREE CHANGED I AD CAREER 4 Mrs. McMillan Would Be Opera Singer but Cannot Take Child Away From St. Louis. — — NIECE OE BANKER RAINE Declares Father Can No Longer Help Her Because of Rel- ative’s Trouble. To achieve her ambition to become an opera singer, Mrs. Katharine R. Mc- Millan, daughter of Gilbert D. Raine, éditor of the Memphis News-Scimitar, is seeking to have Circuit Judge Ras- sieur modify her divorce decree from Ross H. McMillan, so she may take her daughter, Katharine, 8 years old, with her to New York, where she is studying music. McMillan, a salesman for à local boni house, and formerly an assistant cash- ier of the Mercantile National Bank, is opposing a modification of the decree. Since Mrs. McMillan obtained a divorce in January, 1913, McMillan has had the privilege of having his daughter with him one day each week, and one month each year. By the removal of Mrs. Mc- Millan to New York, he would lose this Privilege. — Choir Salaries Low. Mrs. McMillan testified she had no Mu- atives here, and no opportunity to study operatic music to advantage. She could find no employment at a remunerative salary in St. Louis after completing her studies, she said. The churches in St. Louis paid their choir singers never more than $100 a month, Mrs. McMillan said, while some of the New York Churches paid $1000 a month. McMillan said he was paying Mrs. McMillan $5 a month alimony, and contributing $25 a month to the support of the child. He said he did not wish to have the child removed from St. Louis, and desired, if Mrs. McMillan did not wish to live here, to have the custody transferred to him. He sai:i Mrs. McMillan frequently had absented herself from St. Louis.and had violated the spirit of the decree. Father Cannot Help Her. Mrs. McMillan said that since the divorce her father had béen sending her $100 a month, but that it was now necessary for him to go to the aid of a relative who had become financially involved and that she would get noth- ing more from him. The relative to whom she referred was Hunter Raine, former president of the Commercial Bank of Memphis, which he was accused of wrecking. Mrs. McMillan obtained the divorce by default. W. Frank Carter, vice- president of the Mercantile Trust Co., testified that he and Festus J. Wade, president of the bank, at the request of McMiNan, called on Mrs. McMillan and tried to persuade her not to file suit for divorce. Attorney Moses Sale, ir arguing the case before Judge Rassieur, said Mrs. McMillan’s ambition to be- come a singer was responsible for the divorce. | Manton Davik. attorney for Mrs. Mc- Millan, answering this argument, said that Mrs. McMillan, after finding it im- possible to live with McMillan on ac- count of his actions, had been forced to revive her ambition to become a sin- ger. Mrs. McMillan is living at 5961 Plymouth avenue. Upon request of attorneys, the hear- ing was continued until May 27. THAW TO LEAVE CONCORD CONCORD, N.

They did not locate the treasure, and the reason they gave, he said, was that more money was needed to keep the spirits in good humor. There is a tradition around Browns that more than a hundred years ago the Indians or the French buried $300,000, wrapped in a bearskin, in an open space at the foot of a hill be- tween the timber and the dank of Bonpas Creek. Tells of His Experiences. Marriott, the postmaster, often heard the old residents talk about it as they waited for their mail. He had a f lend. L. D. Leach, a business man of Golden Gate, 12 miles away, who often drove | over in his automobile. They talked it over and decided to call a clairvoy- ant into the case. This is Marriott’s story of their experience: “A friend told me there was a man at Olney who could tell a fellow anything without asking any questions. I went to see him. He told me there was a lot of treasure located near Browns. rte said if I would pay his expenses he would come to Browns and find it for me. I think now that he just ‘said that to lead a fellow. on. Rabbit and a Dream. Well. he came over there and we drove out to Bonpas Creek. We found an open space between a hill and the creek. A ‘Fabbit jumped up and he said, ‘Stop! Here's the place. Last night the spirits showed me where the treasure was bruled and I saw a rab- bit jump up by a stump. There's the stump. That's the place to-dig.’ “We were looking around the stump when he pointed to three white marks on the ground. “I saw them white marks in my dream,’ he said. ‘Dig right there.’ “I was digging pretty fast. He told me not to be in such a hurry. He leaned over and scratched around in the dirt and picked up a handful of hair. ‘There’s your bearskin,’ he said. He unwrapped it and there was a piece of gold about four inches long in the shape of a duck. Leastways it looked like gold and he said it was gold. After he had examined the hair he said it was a scalp. “He went away but came back later and said he would have to put the gold back where he found it to keep the spirits in a good humor. We drove out to the spot and he said he would walk around and when he reached the right place the gold would disappear into the ground. He tried it several times but the gold didn’t disappear. “Then he walked a little. distance away, loosened the ground with his foot, spread out his hand over it and said the gold was gone. ‘Nobody will ever get that now,’ he said. ‘If they do it won't do them any good.’ A month later William Ellis and I went out and looked for it, but we did not find it. We gave the professor $80. He kept promising to come back and find the treasure, but he didn’t come. „He had asked me if I had ever been to see a clairvoyant on Lafayette ave- nue, in St. Louis. When I saw that man’s advertisement I went to gee him. He said the Olney professor had told him there was enough treasure. à: Erowns to make us all rich, and had of- fered him $500 to go over and help find it. He would not charge me $500, but if I would pay his expenses he would he said. „He ent over and burned incense on the bank of the creek and made a great-to-do and talked latin, but noth- ing came of it. He was to have % per cent if he found the treasure. Word as Good as Gold. “After a while he said he couldn't do anything more and told me to see Mrs. Pelinski. He said she could find anything. He said he was too busy to go with me, but he would come out later. I went out to her house and she told me all about the hidden treasure. I think now that the professor tele- phoned to her while I was on the way. Law, she could see so much money. She said there must be a million of it! The professor came half an hour later. They told me they could com- bine their powers and do anything They were both very strong. If I would give them $1000 they would find the treasure, they said. J did not have the money but IL each believed in these things. I wrote to him and he came down and they made him believe they could find it. He gave me $1000 and I paid 900 to the woman and $500 to the professor. I asked her what assurance I had that we would get anything back and she said her word was as good aa gold. “Lot of Things Had to Be Doane.” “She wrote to me that she was mak- ing — to keep the spirits in a Ul |HIS ANCES BY b. b. f.

Miller, Who P-ose- ‘cuted’ Labor Leaders, Op- poses Motion. By Assoclated Presa CHICAGO, May 16.—Charles W. Mil- ler, former United States District’ At- torney for Indiana, who prosecuted the dynamite conspiracy cases against a of labor leaders in 1912, ap- peared again for the Government’ to- day in the United States Circuit Coyrt of Appeals when the re-hearing on the granting of new trials to Olaf A. Tveit- moe of San Francisco, Richard H. Houlihan of Chicago, and William Pernhardt, Cincinnati, came up for Oral argument. Originally 3 of the convicted men filed appeals for new trials. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of 24 and, granted new trials for six. As to three of the lat- ter—Tveitmoe, Houlihan and Bernhardt. the Government requested a re-hearing which was granted. Miller said the court had properly held ‘that the general conspiracy had been established and that 24 of the defendants were directly connected with the consipracy to transport dy- namite and nitroglycerin upon pas- senger trains. The evidence, he said., must, be largely circumstantial, but that every link in the chain of cir- cumstances is present, and that the verdict of the jury, “is sustained by substantial evidence on every mate- rial point; that a clear prima facie case was established against Tveit- moe, Houlihan and Bernhardt.” The Government lawyer next took the cases of the three defendants in- dividually touching on the evidence brought out in the trial of the case and argued that the. testimony was such’ that the defendants were not entitled to new trials. Elijah Zoline, for the defense, re- plied. that the three men hag not been convincingly connected with the con- spiracy at the trial and were entitled to a new hearing.

Pablo Garcia yesterday captured Pare- don, an important railroad town 0 miles north of Saltilo and 50 miles northwest of Monterey. The victory followed a severe. encounter with the Federals, who retreated to Saltillo. There, according to reports reaching here, 16,000 Federals are concentrated, being the remnants of the garrisons from Monterey and the border towns.

In the new era which is now being ushered into the world, he said, and which is evidenced by a general advance in pop@lar edu- cation, in popular government and a more equitable distribution of the bur- den of government in all countries, the Governments in power will resort more and more to reason and less and less to force. Mediation is just now being attempt- ed in a question affecting the United States,“ Secretary Bryan continued. “The representatives of three leading republics of Latin America have ten- dered their good offices to see if peace can be restored in Mexico. The Presi- dent quickly accepted their good offices. I thank God that we have a President who hopes that mediation will succeed. He is in sympathy with those efforts and trusts that they will be successful and that the nation’s honor will be maintained and that the welfare of Mexico be conserved. “The President’s desire for peace goes beyond the Western hemisphere,” he continued. “Under negotiations for arbi-. tration now being carried on, more than threequarters of the peoples of the world are initiating an era of peace with the United States. More than 30 treaties have been negotiated. Fifteen have already been signed.

Gen. Causs, the commandant, and Gen. Xavier Mondtzabal have extended their outposts to the wrecked San Fran- cisco bridge over the Antigua River, 2 from Vera Cruz. Jules Dardin, a French planter, who arrived in Vera Cruz yesterday, after coming from Jalapa by way of Huatasco and Cor- doba, reported the passage of five mili- tary trains on Tuesday, headed toward Cerrogordo, on the outskirts of Mexico City, and bearing approximately 3000 men, 500 horses and one battery of mountain guns. Complain of Aeroplane. Dardin said that Federal soldiers be- low the national bridge on the Inter- oceanic Railway complained of an aéro- plane reconnotsance by Americans and that Gen. Causs had issued orders that the machines be fired upon. A copy of El Imparcial, the Huerta newspaper organ in Mexigo City, was smuggled into Vera Cruz yesterday, despite the efforts of the Federal guards at the gap in the Mexican railway to prevent the passage of newspapers of any kind in either direction. Under date of Wednesday, this paper contained an official item confirming the report in these dispatches of the shooting by Mexican outposts, of Pri- vate Samuel Parks, orderly of Lieuten- ant-Colonel Taggart of the Twenty- eighth Infantry. Parks was shot after riding out from El Tejar, where an American outpost guards the Vera Cruz waterworks. El Imparcial also says that my inter- view of last week with Gen. Huerta when published in New York filled the Mexican colony there with admiration of the Dictator’s firm patriotism. The newspaper admits the fall of -Tampico and Ceurnavaca, but declares that Sal- tillo and San Luis Potosi are standing firm, after severe losses, with Gen. Velasco returning to command at Sal- tillo. Gen. Miguel Demaure and Gen. An- draes Mazan, at the head of a strong expedition, it is added, are marching to Ceurnavaca to resume the offensive against Zapata. Refugees From Interior. Refugees from the interior yesterday included A. J. Sutton, photographer for the Washington Post, and R. N. White, an American. planter. in the Huatsco district. Both had been detained at Cordoba for several days, Sutton being arrested for the second time, He was taken into custody at the capital a week Ago, and released on his promise to re- turn direct to Vera Cruz. Sutton was released at Cordoba, only upon giving his word of.honor that he would leave the country by the first steamer depart- ing from Vera Cruz. He complained of harsh treatment and of threats of death, but White seemd to have no fault to find with his treatment. Both Sutton and White said they had no word of the missing New York cor- respondent, E. D. Foster, or of Fran- cisco Mura, the Cuban messenger dis- patched by Brigadier-General Funston to Gen. Maas’ headquarters to make in- quiry regarding the fate of Private Parks, or of Gregorio Alcarez, Rear Ad- miral Fletcher’s Filipino mess boy, who passed the Mexican lines a week ago These three are reported to be under detention at Cordoba, where Sutton and White were held. All refugees arriving yesterday from the capigal agreed that the city was quiet and that Huerta continued serene, apparently. THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

This belief has been strengthened by the fact that we have not been aggres- sive in resenting their insults. ; Think Americans Afraid. They cannot understand our hesita- tation. They think we do not fight be- cause we are afraid. It is the opinion of most American residents in Mexico that unless the United States intervenes there can be no harmony, progress or prosperity in Mexico. The Mexicans think they can insult us at will and we will not resent it. “One real battle would be sufficient to convince them that we are in earnest. Our troops could go from Vera Cruz to Mexico City with littk opposition. lt might not even be necessary to fight a battle. The Mexicans probably would confine their operations to sniping, as they did when we occupied Vera Crus.“ Calla Huerta Drunkard, As to whether Huerta would fight or run away if he found himself sur- rounded by enemies, White said: “What can you tell about a drunk- ard? Huerta is always drunk. 1 do it he stays in the capital and fights he will do so under the stimulation of strong drink. I think he would like to get out of the country, but he knows that if he ever leaves Mexico City every hand will be against him. “His closest friends and advisers are Gen. Mohena and Gen. Lozano. Little is said of them in published accounts of the Mexican crisis, but he does nothing without consulting them. I do not believe the stories that Gen. Blanquet is plotting against Huerta. He probably will stick to Huerta until the last minute and then look out for his own interests. “In my opinion there is no man in Mexico who can take the Presidency and work out the nation’s problems. It would require several months’ for Carranza and Villa to get into the City of Mexico even if they captured Saltillo. Whether either would make an acceptable President is doubtful. In the opinion of many American res- idents of Mexico it is up to the United States to take charge of the Mexican Government and put the country on a basis of stability, safety and commer- cial prosperity.” White left Mexico May 6, and ar- rived in St. Louis Friday evening.

AQ MEN WANTED 10 MAYOR Si DANGE WITH FAIR MAIDS IN PAGEANT “French” Misses Will Be With- out Partners Unless Gallant Youths Volunteer. Forty young men who can dance, though they need not know all the mod- ern dances, are wanted as partners for charming young French misses of early St. Louis, in the gavotte which will be a feature of the transfer scene of the Pageant of St. Louis, in Forest Park, May 28—31. Unless the 40 gallant youths appear, some of the madamoiselles of the first 4families of the city will have to be wall flowers, or dance with each other, in the celebration of the “day of three flags.“ One hundred young women are now enlisted for this dance, but only 60 young men. The gavotte is one of four dances in the Pageant and Masque for which a company of skilled young people have been enlisted, with some of “the city’s ablest dancing instructors as their train- ers. Park Commissioner Dwight F. Davis is chairman of the Subcommittee on Dancing. The gavotte comes nearer than any of the other dances to the social dances known today, and it. is the only one of the four in which men and women dance as couples. It will be somewhat like a minuet, and is copied from French court dancing of a century ago. The dancing of the Pageant and Masque, it is believed, will be one of the most notable features of the pro- duction. The dancers are, for the most part, so well in training that they could give their part of the performance now as well as two weeks hence. The first dance in the Pageant is to be the Calumet dance in the Indian life scene. Twenty active braves dance, while 100 others sit around. The dance is interrupted by an attack on the vil- lage, and then turns to a war dance. F. L. Clendenen, who is training the dancers for this number, has lived among the Indlans, and the dance worked out by him follows closely those of the warlike tribes. The second dance of the Pageant is the gavotte, already referred to, given by the French villagers to celebrate the temporary raising of the French flag. Miss Olga Bates and Harry Trimp are the trainers of the 100 couples. The first dance of the Masque, to be produced after the Pageant, is a part of the dream of Cahokia, which shows the ancient glories of the Indian civi- lization. In it, 200 Maya priests and priestesses perform à ceremonial dance before the altar of one of their deities Miss Anita Gaebler is to have the part of chief priestess, and those who have seen her work in rehearsal pro- nounce it remarkable. The trainers of the groups in this dance are Miss Agnes Cady, Jacob Mahler, Miss Ethel Wee- don, Adolph Pohl and Mr. Liermann. In the second dance of the Masque, the fanciful forms of elves, fauns, dryads and will-of-the-wisps (or is it wills-of-the-wisp?) appear, and dance around the infant St. Louis, in the presence of the trapper, monk and other early comers. Sixty pupils of Soldan High School will do this. Miss Bessie Murray is the trainer for this ex- hibition of fanciful dancing. The light- ing effects of the Masque, which are tu be elaborate, will have an important part in this and the preceding dance.

MAYOR SIGNS TAX BILL BUT VETOES PAYNE TRACT ITEM Kiel Says Assessment Is Excess- ive, but Explains Why He Approves Measure. Mayor Kiel Saturday signed the bill increasing the tax rate to $2.35, but vetoed the item in the accom- panying appropriation bill for $75,000 for the purchase of the Payne tract for the enlargement of Tower Grove Park. The Council and House of Dele- Sates, after a deadlock of several weeks on the tax rate and appropria- tion bills, finally agreed on a bill Friday and passed it. The bill in- creased the tax rate 13 cents over the rate of last year. When the bill reached Mayor Kiel he signed it promptly, and then made a statement explaining why he was willing to accept a tax rate which he considered too high. “My approval of the bill would de- termine whether the tax rate should be slightly excessive or much too low.“ said the Mayor. An increase in the tax rate is necessary for the Production of a sufficient amount of révenue to run the city properly. My idea is that the rate should have been increased to $2.30, but under the city charter the new tax rate must be fixed by the fourth Monday in May, or the old rate would prevail. The oid rate of $2.22 is insufficient to produce the revenue required, and had I vetoed the bill this rate would have continued for another year, because there would not have been time enough for the Municipal Assembly to pass another Dill.” Mayor Kiel said his reason for veto- ing the Payne tract item was that a lawsuit is pendin gin the Supreme Court to determine whether the city would retain ownership of a strip of land 200 feet wide around the park. If that suit should be decided adversely to the city the acquisition of the Payne tract would be useless, he said. The passage of the appropriation bill will enable city employes to get their April salaries Monday. It is estimated by Comptroller Player that the new tax rate bill will rro- duce 3265, 000 of additional revenue. MARRIED MAN: Your wife would like an anniversary present site is year.

ROSENBERG WITNESS Lefty Louie’s” Widow Tells of Gunmen’s Meetings; Verdict Possible Next Saturday By Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 16—A recess today in the trial of Charles Becker, former Police Lieutenant, charged with having instigated the murder of Herman Rosen- thal, the gambler, halted until Monday the second presentation of the case District Attorney Whitman announced yesterday that he expected to finish the presentation of the State’s case on Mon- day and the defense probably will com- plete its rebuttal by the middle of the week. From this a verdict may be ex- pected by next Saturday. Martin T. Manton, Becker's chief counsel, said that if Becker desired to „take the stand he would@be called as the first witness in his own behalf and Mrs. Becker, too, would be called if willing to testify. “Lefty Louie Widow Testifies. Until yesterday the story of the al- leged plot for the murder of Rosenthal had been given but few new touches and the testimony of Rose, corroborated by Vallon and Webber, remained as the chief evidence upon which District At- torney Whitman based his case against Becker. Then, however, Whitman sprung a surprise by calling Mrs. Lil- Han Rosenberg, widow of Lefty Louie, one of the four gunmen executed on April 18 last for his part in the killing of Rosenthal. Mrs. Rosenberg admitted that her tes- timony at the trial of the gunmen had little or no basis of truth, but declared that she had so testified to save her husband from the electric chair. In making this admission and in telling under oath of the meeting in her flat between her husband, the other gun- men and Rose, when the murder of Ro- senthal was planned, she made it ap- pear certain that no mistake had been made in the conviction of the gunmen, of whom her husband was one. „Mrs. Rosenberg said Rose called at her house and told her husband, Harry Horowitz, Whitey Lewis and Frank Cirofici that Becker was angry at them and at Rosenthal. He advised them to etay indoors or Becker would get them on a framed-up charge of carrying guns. Says Gunmen Divided $1000. She said Rose told the men if they would kill Rosenthal everything would be all right. with Becker. “After the murder of Rosenthal the four boys were in my apartments. I saw them dividing a roll of money. I think there was $1000 in the roll,“ the witness declared. On eress-examination, a copy of the @estimony at the trial of the gunmen was read to Mrs. Rosenberg, in whicn she denied that Rose had ever been in her house or that she had ever seen the gunmen dividing the pay they got for murdering Rosenthal. She admitted the testimony Was not true. She was asked why she had not test!- fied yesterday as she did at the triai of the gummen: 1 lied then because I wanted to save the man I loved from the electric chair,” she said. Mra. Rosenberg’s statement discounts the confession alleged to have been made by “Dago Frank” Cirofici, just before the gunmen were electrocuted. In the confession he was quoted as say- ing he never heard the name of Becker mentioned in connection with the mur- der plot.

SIMMONS|S. | CONSIDERED FOR RESERVE BUARD Se Senator Stone Presents Name of St. Louisan to President; Myron Herrick Also Mentioned. WASHINGTON, May 16.— E. C. Sim- mons, hardware manufacturer of St. Louis, and Myron T. Herrick, Ambassa- dor to France, it is rumored today, are the two men to whom the President seriously considers offering the two va- cancies on the Federal Reserve Board. Simmons would be the representative of the middle-west section and of the great manufacturing interests on the banking body. Herrick was sent to Germany by President Taft to investigate its rural credits system. It developed today that Senator Stone of Missouri had placed the name of Simmons before President Wilson. The Senator told the President that the great manufacturing interests of the country should be represented on the Federal Reserve Board and that Sim- mons would be an ideal man to repre- sent that business element. Senator Stone told the President that of the men already selected for the board, two are bankers, Paul M. Warh- burg and W. P. G. Harding; and one. is a financial expert, Adolph C. Miller. Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency Williams, who are ex-of- ficlo members of the board, are repre- sentatives of the legal and banking profession respectively. The President’s attitude toward the Simmons appointment is not learned. The declination of Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago leaves two places on the board to be filled by the President, one or Hospital.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reply to article appearing in the Post-Dis- patch issue of May 11, entitled Wiremen should be competent,” beg to say that evidently the writer of that article does not know the condi- tions in other cities that have successfully solved this problem by establishing a municipal depart- ment of electrical inspection and providing by. law for an established code of rules by which all electrical work shall be done; also providing for the bonding and licensing of all persons, firms or corporations who engage in th's business, holding said persons, firms or corporations liable for prosecution by lew for work done in their name in violation of the established code of rules. The principle of making the workmen respons- ible has been proven by experience to be im- practicable, as a majority of electrical work in a large city is done through a contractor or service company and if these are licensed and bonded for the faithful performance of their work, they will not employ incompetent mechanics to de their work and incompetent parties will be prévented from doing work such as caused the M. A, C. fire. The Fire Prevention Bureau is an illegal in- of them, but are plainly displayed on the front of the station as well, and in many cases are extended on a long signboard on poste at the ends of the platforms, so that a passengers finds . out what station he is coming to before the train reaches it. In my opinion this is the best idea. Of course, there is the plan of giving the name of the station in a flower or shrub pattern on ng banks, if such exist, which is very prett attractive. J @on't the towns and vill eb 4 ages advertise finally ended in the wreck of the road. What his services cost the stockholders of the road in money cannot be estimated. What it has cost the public in governmental integrity cannot even be guessed. Oakley Thorne, in his testimony relative to the Westchester deal, spoke vaguely of sums approx- imating $2,000,000, which went to propitiate peo- ple in Tammany Hall, who had a “nuisance value.” Mr. Mellen has told how he used $1,200,- 000 through former Police Inspector Byrnes to secure stock held by Tammany politicians and to obtain franchise changes that the New Haven wanted. It requires only a very little experience in politics to know how this Tammany crowd got its stock and it requires no greater experience to know how the franchise defects“ were corrected. When it is considered that under the Morgan- Rockefeller regime the New Haven’s relations with corrupt politics in Cofinecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts were’ even more intimate than its relations with Tammany, some faint notion can be gained of the vast sums of New Haven money that. must have been spent in debauching the public life of the most populous section of the country. The final responsibility does not rest upon the lions that the New Haven threw to them. It does not rest upon the stockholders who furnished the money without knowing that they furnished. did Wall street’s dirty work as part of their reg- ular duties. It rests upon the great financiers who controlled the destinies of the property, who commanded this shameless corruption, who cap- italized it for their own sordid purposes and who finally wrecked the property that was in their bands as trustees. They are the real offenders and compared with them Tammany itself seems respectable. 7 = * JUSTICE WITH PLENTY OF MEROY. We note dispassionately that justice in the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Ward has been tempered with a great deal of mercy, but not too much. In the name of humanity what is a poor woman to do when she has two sick babies in the hous and her beer-drinking husband comes in and picks a quarrel with her and she happens at the moment to be chopping ice for one of the sick babies with a small hatchet in her hand? Should she hit him over the head with it, and, if so, would the officers of the law arrest her? We commit ourselves no further than to say that we would hate to be an officer of the law called upon to arrest the woman, and if we were @ prosecutor we would feel no personal indigna- tion over the hole in the complainirg witness’ scalp, and if we were a mere sympathetic human juror with no sense of responsibility we would vote a box of roses to the defendant. = = i i A MUSICAL ECHOBS. “Paris owes St. Louis and her business men. who make this orchestra possible, a debt of Sratitude,” said S. W. Williams, president of the Commercial Club. “A magnificent affair, one that will advertise not only Paris, but St. Louis as well,” said N. H. Ragland, gen- eral manager P. & M. P. Railway. The fact that the Paris above referred to is Paris, Texas, and not Paris, France, detracts nothing from artistic satisfaction. We would rather please our tributary trade towns with our symphony performances than thrill all Gaul. An orchestra that can set by the ears the musical and artistic circles of Paris, Tex., or Mo., Rome, Ga., Venice, III., and Vienna, Ok., is cosmopoli- tanly distinguished enough for us. * W ‘‘THE GREATEST QUESTION.’’ Ex-Gov. Folk is busily and noisily engaged in probing the old New Haven scandals, which are quite ripe. Noise and noisomeness are neces- sary attendants upon such work. Exposure and publicity are the prime objects of the present investigation. The successful reformer must have a probe in one hand and a megaphone in the other. And when ex-Gov. Folk trumpets that railway finance reform is “the greatest question before the American people today” we properly set down his surprising superlative to the laudable zeal and enthusiasm without which no reformer can hope to succeed. The secret of ex-Gov. Folk’s success, as far as it has gone, is that each reform he has tackled has been “the greatest question before the Ameri- can people today.” Whatever a reformer happens to be working on at the time must be “the great- est question before the American people today.” Railway finance reform is profoundly important and even vital. The fact that it did not become absolutely and superlatively the greatest question before the American people until ex-Gov. Folk took it up and made if so ts a reflection on the way his predecessors handled it~—showing how they missed their chance. More power to his elbow! There are a whole lot of things around New England besides the New Haven road that need a good dose of ex-Gov- Folk, and we hope he will make each of them in turn the greatest question before the American people today. — — =" — MAN-MADE VOLCANOES.

Incendiary bands, organized to profit by fire insurance, should be broken up, as suggested by Mr. Charles A. Stix. Their members should be given the full legal penalty. But, as prevention is better than cure, and in the case of fire a vast deal cheaper, the first step for the insurance companies is to stop the present practice of accepting fif@'risks-with little or no in- vestigation as to the value of the property to be insured. Agents are so fearful that the chance cases exposed in New York, policies a on property of little or no value, without even looking at it. It was proved in New York that policies for thousands of dollars could be obtained on articles located for the purpose, in certain rooms or flats, such articles not being worth as much as ten dollars. Remove the temptation to commit arson, and the need for costly prosecution of incendiaries would be greatly decreased. ,— = ae. ae CONTRADICTORY INTEREST LAWS. holding the loan law passed at the. last session of the Legislature unconstitutional, suggests the need of a comprehensive, consistent law on rate of interest and usury. The present laws are contradictory. The legal rate of interest to which parties may agree in writing is set forth in section 7180 of the Re- vised Statutes as 8 per cent. The plea of usury may be set up in cases where any higher rate is charged. But section 4571 permits the charge of 1 per cent a month on loans secured by chattel mort- gage for sums over $500. And section 4892 pro- vides a penalty of a fine or jail sentence for charging more than 2 per cent a month on loans. Neither of these statutes, in so many words, an- nuls the general law regarding legal rate of in- terest. Contradictory laws cause confusion and cannot be enforced. It is of the highest importance that laws governing rates of interest should be clear and constitutional. Business cannot preceed un- = = * EXCESSIVE FREE BRIDGE ‘‘TOLLS.’’ The free bridge is not entirely unutilized. City officials report that on an average 50 persons who have provided themselves with permits brave its perilous ladder-climbing and narrow causeway daily to escape Eads Bridge tolls in crossing the river. The cost of the bridge to the city in inter- est and sinking fund charges is calculated at something more than $800 a day. The “toll” the city pays for the transit of these 50 is accordingly about $16 each. It is excessive. By applying a multiple of many thousands to the number who cross daily a divi- sor for the fixed charges should be provided that will reduce per capita cost to cents. sos & — — * SENATE’S NEED OF A GOETHALS. An interruption of traffic on the Tehuantepec railroad due to civil war in Mexico caused a con- gestion of freight. To relieve it, use of the Pan- ama Canal was found possible in spite of the blocked Cucaracha channel. For a week, long strings of light-draught barges have been rush- ing through the waterway, loaded with freight from steamers which have broken cargo at the entrances to the canal. Were these barge’ classified as coastwise ship- ping? Did they pay tolls or did they get through on the free pass of American coast-to-coast traf- fic? Col. Goethals announces that he could send a steamship through today, if ordered to do so. A channel 38 feet deep and 150 feet wide has been dug around the obstructing Cucaracha slides, which is ample for the accommodation of the largest vessels afloat. To send steamers through would, of course, be much preferable to the costly plan of transferring cargoes. If steamers are permitted to go through, will they have transit without payment of toll or will they be required to contribute to the burden of canal maintenance? The law as it stands today specifically exempts coastwise shipping. Is this policy to be inaug- urated only to be changed after a few weeks? Or, with an extraordinary situation created by insur- rection, must the pressure of accumulated traffic seexing outlet be resisted and the canal denied to the larger uses of commerce in order that a yniform policy may prevail from the first opening of the waterway? The final and difficult problems in canal con- struction have been solved before Congress has solved the problem of canal tolls. dawdles while canal officials and vessel owners are left in uncertainty. Can no channel be found to afford the bill egress through slides of over- whelming oratory? Can no Gatun dam be inter- posed for impounding the torrent of words? A Col. Goethals of parliamentary engineering is needed by the Senate. **Would-Be-Duck Eggs From the Madisonville (Ky.) Hustler.

Nothing like the markman- ship of the Mexican gunners had ever been seen here. They first dismantled the American batteries, and then picked off the church steeples and towers one by one until there was absolutely no place from which to snipe. The fleet sails tomorrow for Louisville, in the Ohio River. This is the home of Col. Henry Watterson, who said the Amer- icans would take everything between the Rio Grande and Panama before they came home. Maps of the city have been furnished all the gunners, with skull and crossbones indicating Col. Watterson’s newspaper office. PANAMA—Unable to withstand the terrific onslaught of the Mexican troops and ships, the Americans surrendered the Panama Canal today, and it is al- ready accommodating the passage of Mexican ships and soldiers to and fro between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, A few Americans who went to sea on dredgeboats. have escaped, but all the rest are either dead or waiting to be shot. Gander Creek. Gander Creek rises out of the ground some- where near Buzzard Knob, and keeps up a continuous flow until it reaches Fort Smith’s pond, where it runs around and around for awhile before continuing on its journey to- ward its destination, It unfortunately rises on the side of a hill for several hundred yards until it gets to the top, when it has easy sailing down the long, gradual slope, until it reaches the neighborhood of Thunder- ation. The creek runs directly through Frisby Hancock’s pond, and here its water supply is greatly increased. It then starts out again and flows toward the home of Tobe Mosely, but turns out just before it reaches his house. During the long and varied course of Gan- der Creek it runs under many bridges and crosses several roads where there are no bridges. No vessels have yet been known to enter the waters of Gander Creek, but some very large fish travel up and down !t.—Hogwallow Kentuckian.

Ba: 1 Mii r = - * ae Wet a”, io at 9 — FREDERICK W. LEHMANN. From the Washington Times. 7 Frederick W. Lehmann of St. Louis has been named as one of the repre- sentatives of American interests before the A. B. C. mediation conferences in Niagara Falls, Canada. Associated with him will be Justice Lamar of the Su- preme Court and one other delegate yet to be announced. The selection of a member of the Supreme Court in such a connection is obviously appropriate, and Mr. Justice Lamar meets the re- quirements. In the case of Mr. Leh- mann, the choice is particularly inter- esting because it suggests how much of opportunity for public service may come to a man who keeps out of politics, Mr. Lehmann has not always eschewed politics, but since 1896, when he ceased to be a regular“ Democrat onk the money issue, he has been diligently practicing law. Rising to a place of the largest distinction in his profession, he was considered, despite his Democratic leanings, for no less place than the at- torney-generalship in the Taft Cabinet. He became Solicitor-General, and per- formed notable service. That he would be named to one of the vacancies on the Supreme Court during the Taft re- gime was very confidently expected by his friends and desired by the bar of the country. He has served with espe- cial distinction as president of the American Bar Association, and his se- lection at this time for a place on the Board of Mediation Counselors revives the impression that he is in line for a place on the supreme bench. Mr. Leh- mann is one man so much bigger than. political parties and partisanship that people forget such minor considerations when occasion arises for drafting him to perform public duties. TWO SWEEPING CONELUSIONS, From the Cleveland Plan Dealer. An English sociologist, returning home after several months in the United States, declares there is no longer any- thing entitled to be called an American nation; immigration has destroyed all homogeneity. We have ceased to be a ‘melting pot and have become a varnish pot.“ The briefer one’s stay in a strange land the better one believes himself qualified to form sweeping conclusions. Our English sociologist of course, falls into the common error. He makes a hurried observation here and there and applies it to an entire situation. Purity of Anglo-Saxon stock has gone, as the nation as a whole—certainly no one would dispute that. But what fs an American? The other day a group of Greek immigrants sought service under the Stars and Stripes in Mexico. Organ- izations of slavs—now American citizens —are ready to enlist. Natives of practi- cally every European country are to be found in the army. They are Americans tmbued with the Yankee spirit, supporters of their new country’s flag. They are carrying for- ward the work of civilization in many parts of the world.

GOOD face, a Food address, a good dress—are all 80 many points in the game of of life of which every man of sense will avail himself,” says Thackeray. And it is certain that ap- pearance and manner count greatly for or against any man in his battle for success in his chosen business or profession as well as in the social world.

Many books of etiquette and not a few old-fashioned sticklers for the conventions declare that a young man should always ask permission to call on a young woman. But as a mat ter of fact most men are exceedingly chary of availing themselves of this privilege. Whether they are afraid of being rebuffed or, as a friend of mine once expressed it, “if a lady wished to have him call she. could take the trouble to ask him,” I de not know. But the fact remains that most men do not call until they are invited to do so, either by the young lady herself or by her mother or chaperon. But in exercising this privilege a young woman should use her common | sense and not make herself ridicu- lous by asking anybody and every- body. It is hardly wise to ask a mae to call on meeting him casually for the first time unless he shows un- mistakably that he desires to do so, and unless he is, moreover, @ person that the girl's family knows a good deal about. After such an invitation has been extended, if, ag time goes on, the young man shows no inclina- tion to profit by the permission, the sensible woman who respects her own dignity never repeats the invitation.

Neither of them imagined the ‘possibility of a refusal, although the suitor was twice her age. As for Rob Hillis, Ethel never took him into consideration; as she said, why should she? Bertha Trent, four years younger than her sister, admired Ethel beyond meas- ure. She herself was barely good lock - ing, and accustomed to be overshad- owed by her brilliant sister upon all occasions, she was content with reflected glory and never thought to be jealous. Only now was she disappointed when everyone else was praising Ethel for that she had done so well to herself. Bertha was intensely loyal, and she loved Rob better than she even knew. She had always taken it for granted that her two swans must mate, and her air castles had all been built witn that end in view. There was nobody good enough in her eyes for Eethel but Rob, and how could anyone whom Rob loved fail to say him yea? So when Ethel came home after six month’s absence, bringing her sheaves with her, Bertha, unimpressed by their golden glory, asked herself and her sis- ter, What will Rob say?“ The year before Rob Hillis had grad- vated with high honors at one of the first medical colleges in the country, and coming home, hung out his shingle But country towns are apt to distrust youn men, and the very few who appre- clated the great advances which medi- cine and surgery have made in recent years, dared to employ him.

This, during Ethel’s absence, but before the news of her engagement had reached Kaowoc. Rob had talked the offer over with Joe and Bertha, although there was but one opinion as to its acceptance, and when Joe had pronounced $1200 a fairly good income for a young man, Rob had answered, “Yes, a fellow might get married on that with the right kind of a wife,” and had smiled at Bertha, who, of the luckiest girls in the world,” and Ethel Trent leaned back on e lounge and folded her pretty hands mplacently, so that her diamond and pphire ring showed to the best ad- ntage.

PART IL 1 HEN Ulrica found herself alone with the fairy, strange to Say, she did not feel in the least like running away. She wanted to stay. She had never before felt so happy, and she Was curtous to see what the goblin would do when he returned. Ulrica kept her eye on the rock, and in a few min- utes it opened and out came her gob- lin, followed by so many others that Ulrica could not count them; in fact, they all looked alike. Here is the girl who never laughs or smiles, and worst of all, she says she doesn’t want to.“ “O-O!” said each queer-looking littls fellow, forming his mouth into a big round O. Their faces were very round and their eyes large, and they rolled them about in the queerest manner imaginable. They wore little red pointed caps and green tight-fitting jackets and long red stockings and green shoes with pointed toes. Ulrica looked at them as they jumped about her and she felt the same queer feeling come over that she did when ths first goblin had danced in front of her. Some walked on their hands with their funny feet ist the air. Others played leap frog, while others did queer dances on their hands, feet and head. Before Ulrica knew what was happen- ing she laughed out aloud. Ha, ha. ha!“ Quick as a flash the fairy who had been sitting on a violet leaf near by ran to Ulrica, followed by all the gob- lins. “She laughed.“ said the goblins. knew she could not withstand us.“ “Don’t you feel happy?“ asked the fairy. “And if you only knew how much prettier you are when you smile, she said, for Ulrica’s face still wore a pleasant look. “Yes, but I shall not see anything to make me laugh after the goblins go away,” replied Ulrica. “Oh, yes you will!“ said the fairy. Jou just needed to find out you had a laugh, and now that you, have you will see much to laugh at and to make you smile.” The goblins kept up their queer an- tics, and before long Ulrica was laugh- ing so hard that she fell on the ground and bumped her head. She jumped up with a start and looked about her. There were no gob- lins to be seen nor a fairy. “That is strange,“ she said. I saw them right here.“ And then she began to laugh as she thought of the funny goblins and how they jumped about. The squirrel and the rabbit came running out of their homes, and the bluebird flew down to a bush near her and they all looked at her. “Is this the same little girl we saw earlier in the day?” asked the blue bird of the squirrel in animal lan- guage. “Yes,” replied the squirrel, “but she looks different somehow.“ “I can tell you what has happened,” said the rabbit. “She has learned t9 . — — — — — — — — Dr. T.

And after a while she did not need to think of her dream at all. She was such a smiling, happy little girl that everybody who knew her loved her and they forget that she had ever looked cross and did not laugh.

She certainly did not look the part, and sat complacently by while he told how she tore his books; “would not let him sleep’’ by her scolding; did not inform where she was going; threw things during controversies;’ and, in general, was far in advance of mili- tant suffragettes“ in her methods of worrying a man. This young woman told the Court that she did not want to separate from her husband, and en- deavored to create the impression that she loved him. While the vast majority of women do not stoop to the vulgar practice of throwing things, yet there are many. [ am sorry to say, who want to give the impression that they love their hus- bands, even though their actions im- press the husband in the opposite direc- tion. Too many of us are prone to take love for granted; a matter-of-fact prop- osition that is settled once for all the moment the wedding ring is placed upon the finger. But therein lies the fallacy. From that moment on, to hold love is one of the most important fac- tors in the world. Overbearing and re- bellious spirits, keeping up a contin- uous play of temper so long that they lose the capacity for love, find the spark that once meant almost life itself has been put out by coldness that usually follows. I am acquainted with a couple who love each other devotedly and are thor- oughly miserable when séparated, but who cannot live together for any length of time without getting on each oth- ers nerves” by insisting on displaying tempers. These people get along beau- tifully with other friends and show the most delightful dispositions to them, but yet do not seem to be able to show this side of their nature to each other. There is the thing—to show the best side of yourself to the one you love best rather than to outsiders. To cul- tivate such a spirit should be the aim of each partner in the double harness scheme. In truth, there 4s no other way to avoid misery. Temper is largely a mat- ter of conceit, and of one’s desire to be „boss“ of the situation. It never got anybody anything, but secret brooding and heartache, and a final dislike of one’s self. If married partners would treat each other as friends, in times of angry moods, the marriage question would not be forever before the courts. Many a woman would not dream of saying to others the unkind tempera- mental’ things that she says to her husband; and vice versa. And in all cases, no matter what the differences may be, you cannot be unpleasant and yet have it taken for granted that your heart is in the right place.“ Only de- votion proves that. A little more acting of love will save much reaction later. —— — Straight From the Shoulder.

Having already shattered the rules of metaphor and simile by calling confidence both a. sword and a germ, let us give it still aother name: “Confidence is the muscle achievement.” In other words, it is the psycholog- ical strength that makes achieve- ment possible. To the young man whe its facing any difficult problem in his advance upon success it is the bridge be- tween “can” and “do,” Doubt weakens the attack.

None of the plavers had been in the saddle since Monday and all appeared ready to mix matters, even though the field was heavy. The big four“ rode over their op- ponents and their violations of the rules made the penalizing imperative. It was a fast game, however, and as the second team members seemed to rel- ish the new tactics, the defenders came out of the practice saying that they had enjoyed a good workout. George Miller, the English polo expert, refereed the = “RED DOOIN AGAIN BYRNE IS INURED Champion Hard Luck Team of the World Gets Another “Kayo” Punch. By W. J. O’Connor. That pestiferous person, Mr. Jinx, surely is persistent in his attentions to the Phillies. He stepped into the spot- light again Friday and caused a finger on Bobby Byrne’s right hand to be lacer- ated by a mean bounder and Bobby probably will be on the shelf for a week hole in the Phils’ inner defense. Bobby was having his biggest season. He’s leading the National League in hit- ting and, while his fielding in the local series has not been up to snuff, it is a well-established fact that Robert the Wee can field above all things. With Bobby on the shelf Dooin will be forced to use either Reed or Irelan, neither of whom measures up to the National League standard on second base. His club will be immeasurably weakened by the switch. Phils Are Trying Hard. The Phils are putting up a stubborn fight. Dooin has his men on their toes ‘and they seem to be trying harder this season than ever before. A vast change has come over Sherwood Magee, hereto- fore a drone. He’s now the hardest worker and as a reward he has been made captain of the club. Magee is leading the fight for Dooin and in the face of discouraging odds the Quakers are putting up a stubborn stand. However, the loss of such stars as Knabe, Doolan, Seaton, Brennan and Walsh has wrecked the team and with a limited pitching staff and a crippled infield, it’s almost a certainty that the visitors will take a header into second division before long. Terrific hitting may save them for awhile, but unlesg the present batting pace is maintained the destiny of the Quakers seems obvious, even now. A great pitcher like Alexander will do a lot to keep the Phils from being tail-enders or seventh-placers. Alex- ander truly is one of the greatest right- handers in the game. His record against the Athletics almost concltsively proves that. In four years with the Phillies he has faced Connie Mack’s champions of Christendom six times and come out with as many victories. Any pitcher who can win six straight games from the men of Mack must have something besides a glove. Hitting Eyes Return. The hitting of the ex-Pirates, Butler, and Wilson, is the best thing that has happened around Robison Feld, this season. Artie Butler, a natural hitter, was in a woeful slump. So was Dolan and Dot Miller, for that matter. Mil- ler couldn’t connect Friday, but But- ler and Wilson came through with K. O. wallops and if they but maintain their pace they surely will lift the Car- dinals a few pegs higher in the N. L. scramble. For the final game with the Phils, Manager Huggins plans to use Willie Doak who won Wednesday’s bout. Doak will be opposed by Cy Marshall, who match. 1 There were symptoms of rst di- vision” at the Britton ball yard yester- day afternoon, when the Cardinals con- centrated their attack in one round and pounded out a decisive victory over the denatured Phillies, 6—3. True, Dan Gri- ner faltered in the stretch drive, but Huggins wisely called in the Old Master and Sal was there with enigma stuff you so often read about. He retired the side in’ order after he assumed command in the eighth, while a mean hole “ — aening Manager C. Doo- in, who is a good hitter. Sal was under wraps all the time. The truth is that the pitching at Cardi- nal park has been good enough to win a heap of ball games. Perritt, Griner, Doak and Sallee have pitched winning ball in spite of the handicap imposed upon them by the hitless wonders. Yesterday this good pitching was backed up by uential swatting and the result is pleasing to chronicle. The sixth inning was a whopper. Chief WII- non opened with a line drive td left, which isn’t the Chief's favorite field. Becker ran in for a shoestring catch, but the ball got by for a home run. Then Cruise got on through Irelan’s error. Snyder sacrificed and Beck scored Cruise with a single. Griner boosted to Beck- er, but Huggins doubled, scoring’ Beck, while Hug scored from second on Ma- gee’s infleld hit. Magee swiped secona and went to third on Butler's beautiful bunt. Butler swiped second, but Miller hoisted to Becker for the third out. it was the biggest rally the Cards have put on at home this season. was obliged to finish up Friday’s game. Pitching and Hitting Make Our Cards Look Like First Division was making his National League debut. He hails from the Central Association where he played with the Burlington club. He lacks experience but looks as though he might hang on. Dooin has only six pitchers, counting Chalmers who lacks control, so Jacobs is not in immediate danger of being canned. With two out in the third, Jacobs Cruise cracked a single, 3 two of them. Mr. Cruise surely is hit timely and with business-like precision. Griner tired suddenly, in the eighth, when a single, double, wild pitch and infield single let in two runs. Huggins waé right in benching Big Dan, but in the Blond’s defense it must be said that he finished up Tuesday's game, warmed on Thursday, although he didn’t perform and it was only natural that he should give out. He had the Quaker sluggers locoed for frames.. seven Sherwood Nottingham Magee put up another good game at short, but he’s far from being a Doolan.

TEAM IN LEAGUE AT BASE RUNNING —MANAGER CARRIGAN, Leader of the Red Sox Pays Tribute to Speed of Rickey’s | Players. ! * By WALTER HAPGOOD, A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. BOSTON, May 16.—The St. Louis Browns skipped out of town for New York in the wee small hours this morning to open their series with the Highlanders at the Polo grounds this afternoon. Manager Branch Rickey and all the players, although defeated in two of the three games played here, were pleased with the games put up and believed that yes- terday afternoons convincing victory for a forerunner of many other vic- tories to follow, including something better than an even break with the Yankees. The Browns certainly - gave the nerviest exhibition of base-running seen at Fenway Park this season. “If Rickey can keep his men up to any such clip on the bases,” said Manager Carrigan of the Red Sox after the game, “the Browns will be the greatest base stealers in either league.” Even the St. Louis Browns joined in the hand-clapping that greeted Smoky Joe Wood as he walked to the box to pitch the ninth inning of yes- terday’s game. Wood has apparently recovered from the appendicitis oper- ation he underwent Feb. 22, and has notified Manager Carrigan that he is willing to start a game at any time. The last time Wood pitched a full game was in Chicago, last July, when he defeated Chicago, 9 to 0, under the old Jake Stahl regime. And his only appearance last season, after July, was when he pitched a ninth inning against Cleveland, at Fenway Park, late in September. Walker Makes Long Drive. When Clarence Walker lifted the ball high over the scoreboard in left-field fence he made the fifth player who has ever done the trick. Hugh Bradley, now playing in the Federal League; Jake Stahl, Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox and Rube Oldring of the Athletics are the only batsmen who had previously driven the ball that far and that high since the present park was opened two years ago this spring. a. wr Messenger Goes to Ganzel’s Club; Lavan Due Back Outfielder Bob Messenger, who has been trying for a job with the Browns this spring, has followed Dee Walsh, the native son infielder, to the Rochester (In- ternational League) club. Walsh was released more than a week ago, while the deal for Messenger has just been completed. | The transfer of these ex-St. Louisans @ John Ganzel’s club may prove a proitit- able move for Messrs. Hedges and Rickey. String attachments are on Walsh and Messenger and they will be recalled if their showing down East warrants the move. It is probable, however, that in consid- eration for the services of Walsh and Messenger, the Rochester club has given the St. Louls club an option on its best pallplayer next fall. The 8 of Poor my ony oe —42 that Manager Rickey in 8 carry Ernest Walker as his principal utility outflelder. Walker and Messenger had little oppor- tunity to connect with a regular job this season following the great improvement in Gus Williams and the consistent good fielding and batting of Clarence Walker. Ouimet's Poor Playing Causes Yankee Defeat; . Travers in Fine Form SANDWICH, England, May 16.—Jer- ome D. Travers of Montclair, N. J., am- ateur champion of the United States, stands an excellent chance of re ng the feat of Walter J. Travis 10 years ago in carrying off the British amateur championship if he is able to do as well next week as he did today in a foursome over the Sandwich course. Although Travers and Francis Ouimet, the open golf champion of the United States, lost to Harold H. Hilton and Michael Scott by three holes up and two to play, their defeat was due to the ex- tremely poor showing of Ouimet, who apparently is getting stale. He was weak throughout, getting no distance from the tee and finding a number. while bis putting was feeble. Travers never made a mistake.

He has won five in a row and officiated in part of another game. He was relieved twice by McQuillan, but is credited with the vic- tories in both battles. Harry Sallee of the Cardinals, recog- nized as one of the really great south- paws of the game, has a record that doesn’t compare favorably with Coop- er's. Sal has won two and lost four, having pitched 48 innings. Larry Cheney of the Cubs is the iron man to date, of- ficiating in 71 innings. The leaders: PLAYER— CLUB. Cooper, Pitts.

EAST SIDE COURT Judge Concludes Easier to Move Legal Body Than Needed Exhibits. The Circuit Court of St. Clair County moved from Belleville to East St. Louis Saturday to try the suit of Mike Har- rold, an ice dealer, against the City of East St. Louis to enforce the payment of anticipation warrants amounting to $20,269.92, and interest amounting to parcels, | $2196.89. The suit was filed in Belleville but on account of the many records to be handled, Judge Crow decided to go to Rast St. Louis and hear the case. The anticipation warrants were issued by former Mayor Charles Lambert. All the warrants issued in anticipation of the collection of the 1913 taxes were re- deemed except those held by Harrold. The attorneys for the city contend that former Treasurer Gerold, recently convicted of withholding city funds, was liable for the amount of the warrants for the reason that he had failed to ac- count for all the moneys collected.

He cauht a glimpse of Mrs. Jarr wearing over her best tango dress a big pinafore apron, as did all the rest of the beefsteakers. She came eagerly forward as the boss, guarding the doorway, beckoned to her, and the door was closed behind her, and there she greeted her long-away husband just as the boss had greeted him, as one guilty of great crimes and misde- meanors. “Ooooh!
