AS ES cern |Man Says He’s a Genuine Count; Held as. Swindler| Otto A. Kolm Nobleman Charge ee Reveals Life’s History as Real] When Arrested on Fraud in Attempted Dish Sale. The thrilling four-reel life story of the “Count Edward von Walistatten” was released to the police Monday by a prisoner who, since his arrest Friday, had been on the record as Otto A. Kolm. a guest of the American Hotel. Kolm declared he was the Count, and while partly admitting the charge that he attempted to obtain money on false pre- tenses from W. Reeves, a moving pic- ture showman, he declared there was no false pretense about his Austrian title. The biggest of the verbal films in the Count’s story was that showing his ex- periences in the Russian-Japanese War, when, he declared, he was captured by the Japanese, suspected of being a Rus- sian spy, and was impaled in a manner which he described as “crucifying.” Kolm Married a Year Ago. Other scenes in, the story show him as being shot seven times, in war and duels, and as having a silver plate in- serted in his head, to take the piace of a section of skufl shattered by a bullet. Kolm was married a year ago to Miss Olive E. Jamiesou, who had been living in the 4200 block on Washington boule- vard. The marriage was under the name of Kolm, and the police say nothing was ‘aed at that time about the bridegroom’s title. Last week, the police say, Kolm, called on Reeves, proprietor of a show at 1800) South Eighteenth street, and offered him &» sets of china dishes, 42 pieces in each set, for $75, cash in advance. Reeves said Kolm showed him bflls of sale indicating that Frank: Talbot of the Hippodrome had made a, similar pur- chase from him. The china sets were intended to be given a4 prizes to per- sons attending the shoavs. Kolm Insists on Cash, Reeves offered Kolm a check, but Kolm insisted on cash. Reeves then told the police of the offer, and a message was sent to the Chicago firm which Kolm saifi that he represented. The firm wired back that Kolm’s con- nection with it ceased two years ago, and that complaints had lately come from persons who had been disappoint- ed in deals with him. He was then arrested. Talbot told the police he had had no dealing with Kolm, and Kolm then ad- mitted, the police say, that the purport- | ed bill of sale was merely “promotion literature.’’ He then told the story of hig | life. HUSPITAL PATIENT HGnTS OFF NURSE; | JUMPS 10 DEATH Fred Opel Leaps From Third Story Window of Anti-Narcotin Institute; Dies in 4 Hours, Fred Opel, 39 years old, of Jasper, Ind., @ patient at a Private institution for the treatment of those <.idicted to drugs at 603 North Garrison avenue, jumped from a third-story window to the stone steps at 12:45 a. m. Monday and re-: hours later. ‘Miss Clara Wascheck, a nurse, struggled with him, but was un- able to keep him from making the leap. Opel was under treatment for mor- phinism at the place, the Anti-Narcotin Institute, and was under the care of W. Cc. King, a special nurse, and was kept in a barred room on the second floor. About 12:30 King, thinking his patient was sleeping, left the room to get some lunch and did not close the door. Opel escaped from the room and ran up to the third floor. Miss Waschek intercepted him as he was going toward a front window and seized him and called for help. Opel wrested himself free, ran to the window and made the plunge. His fall was 2 feet. His skull was fractured, he re- ceived a compound fracture of his right leg, and cuts and bruises. He was taken to the Baptist Hospital, Garrison and Franklin avenues, where he died at 4:30 a. m. His body was taken to an undertaking establishment. AMERICANS CANAL PILOTS Only Citizens of U.

THE REASON: 324 Average Sunday Circulation for April 981 First in Ever ything e TOO MANY RICH WIDOWS, SPEAKER TELLS BANKERS Is Sign Husbands Gave Lives for Wealth. Gia PREACHES FARM BENEFITS Urges Missouri Delegates to Ad- vocate Rural Life as Relief From Financial Worries. Too many rich widows in the large cities are one of the unfavorable signs of the times, according to an opinion expressed by J. C. Swift of Kansas City, in an address at the opening session of Missouri Bankers’ Association’s twen- ty-fourth annual convention at the Olympic Theater, Monday. About 500 delegates listened wit]. great interest to Swift’s remarks. The title of his paper was ‘Livestock and Live People.” Explaining his reference to rich wid- ows, Swift said that the large num- ber of these widows showed that in many cases men give up their lives in the struggle for fortune in large cities when they might have remained in the ccuntry and obtained a competence which they would have lived to enjoy. Should Preach Country Life. “The price of success is too often paid at the grave and it isn’t worth the cost,”” he said. ‘‘We bankers should Preach the doctrine of contentment in the country as opposed to a scramble for wealth in the city. One trouble with present conditions is that the city has too many idle men and the country has too many idle acres. _ “Young men who might stay in the country and make good farmers go to the city and make poor motormen.” Swift urged the bankers to take the lead in promoting contentment in the country. Preachers and teachers, he said, have not caught the spirit of so- cial service, and work along many eco- nomical lines could be better done by the bankers, who know real conditions and are in touch with the community’s financial needs. “‘Missouri is long on songs, but short on singers,’’ he said. “She doesn’t need soloists, but she does need a grand chorus to sing of the opportunities which she offers those who would find real contentment.”’ The bankers began their op with J. B. Jennings of Moberly, presi- dent of the Missouri Bankers’ Associa- tion, presiding. The program included an address of welcome by Festus J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust Co., and presi- dent of the St. Louis Clearing House Associatior and response by W. C. Gordon, treasurer of the Bankers’ As- sociation. Wade Speaks of the Pageant. Wade, in his welcoming address, con- gratulated the bankers on the fact that two of the Federal Reserve banks had been put in Missouri. He asked that as many delegates as possible. prolong their stay so as to witness the St: Louis Pageant and Masque next week. In responding, Gordon told of the in- timate relations between the St. Louis banks and those in other parts of the State, and said that when members of the association came to St. Louis for a convention they always felt as though they were coming home. Gordon is treaeurer of the associa- tion. His annual report, read at the meeting, showed a balance of $30,585.11 in the treasury. In the last year, he said, the association paid Out $2500 in rewards for the capture’ of bank rob- bers. Outlines Bankers‘ Faults. W. T. Abbott of Chicago, in an aad- dress on “The Bankers’ Follies of 1913,”’ said their principal folly had been their inability to say no. A minor folly had been their opposition to the reserve bank act as bankers instead of as citix zens. Another had been their failure tc remove the mystery that too long has hovered about banking. He urged that bankers take the public into their confidence, and try to get the public to see them as they knew they were. Ir was because of the mystery with which the business had been Surrounded, he suid, that the many had to suffer for the sins of the few. Breckinridge Jones, speaking for Bankers’ Club of St. Louis, proposed a resolution providing for the appoint- ment of a State banking commission of seven representatives of State banking institutions, to work on a general vision of the banking laws. tion was adopted. All trains from Missouri brought bankers to St. Louis early in the morning. At 10 o'clock, officials of the association estimated there would be 1500 delegates in attendance before the first day ended. Delegates went from Union Station to the Planters Hotel, where they regis- tered and received their credentials Bach was given a badge on which v-23 printed his name and address. This method was taken to obviate the neces- sity of formal introductions. The badges were cut to represent the geo- graphical lines of Missouri. Among the routine affairs, of the morning were the annual address of the president, the report of Secretary W. F. Keyser of Sedalia; the report of Treasurer Gordon of Marshall, the ap- pointment of a Committee on Resolu- tions and the auditors’ — FALL KILLS MAN IN DARE DAVENPORT, IOWA May 18.—Acting on a dare from his fellow workmen Harry Beacon stood on an inch ecants ling 90 feet above the fround and drain d a bucket of beer.

IAPS DUCK GAME INHUMANE: WOMEN Police Close Summer Garden Concession Where Fowl Were Given Away as Prizes. Hon. Quackimura:Nogo, which is con- venient publication name because Uni- versity City policeman can’t spell real one, is asking to know how living is to be acquired if he can’t run very nice and funny duck game which was put completely out of business at Delmar Garden Sunday night. Reason for extinguishing it was be- cause Mrs. Sue Barge of 6223 Lenox av- enue and Miss Lillian Nagel of 1637 Belt avenue said it was cruelty to ani- mals, of which ducks is one kind. Hon. Quackimura Nogo and his cousin are very sorry for being called so cruel when they only tried to make amuse- ment for all Americans at garden. Was much fun while it lasted, but sea- son was very short, thank vou. Honor- able ducks which had wings clipped sat in entirely straight row on smooth plank near small pond called a lake. Hon. Quackamura ogo he make bal- lyhoo like this: “Approach close, approach close. Haste is necessary for avoiding rush. Duck you ring is duck you obtain. Three rings is for small price of 10 cents.”’ Then honorable American ladies and men and children try throwing rings over heads of ducks, which is nice fun. Sometimes one duck try to dodge rinz and fall in water. Is then necessary for Quackamura’s cousin to wade in water with Sunday trousers and fish him out. All is merry until human society la- dies have seen what is being done. ‘How cruel for poor ducks,’’ they de- claim, and Marshal for University City then puts lid completely on. The duck-ringing concession was opened at Delmar Garden Saturday night. Mrs. Barge and Miss Nagel, after having it closed, said the cruelty to the ducks was not so much in throw- ing the rings at them as in the way they were treated after they were won. Some of the winners, they said, would tie strings to the ducks’ legs or necks and drag them about the garden until they were exhausted. Marshal Will- man of University City says he will not permit the concession to be re- opened. FOURTH OF THE BOGY ESTATE TO DAUGHTER en ee ee eee B. P.

HALIFAX, N. S., May 18.—The United’ Stated revenue cutter Seneca arrived} here today with the four survivors of the burned steamer Columbian whom she; picked up from their smal! ‘boat 407 niiles south of Sable Island at 10 o'clock yesterday morning after they had been adrift since May 4, subsisting part of the time by chewing boot leather. The condition of the men is serious, but it is believed they will live. - The survivors are in the last degree of ex- haustion, their experiences having driven them to the limit of human en- durance. A wireless message from Capt. John- ston of the Seneca told concisely of the rescue. Little could be learned. today from. the exhausted sailors of their ex- perience beyond the fact that they had been tossed by the seas since May 4, when fire on the Columbian drove them into their small boat. There were lo men in the craft when they left the Co- lumbian. Eleven companions died of hunger and exposure, and the four emaciated men taken aboard the rev- enue cutter were almost unconscious. Twenty-Six Men Rescued, The Columbian belonged to the Ley- land Line, and was en route from Ant- werp to New York with a miscellaneous eargo when the fire started at mid- night, May 3. The crew had time only to launch their three boats. One of these containing 13 men, and the body of the chief steward was picked up by the Franconia of the Cunard line, May 5 Late the same day another boat car- rying 13 men was sighted by the steam- er Manhattan, and her crew rescued, Hope for the third boat had been abandoned when the message from tiie Seneca was received. The revenue cut- ter was on her way to Halifax for fuel and stores when a man on the bridge made out a lifeboat, apparently empty. Capt. Johnston went to the craft, and found it contained four men nearly dead. ‘The men in the lifeboat had left their ship so hurriedly that there was no op- pcrtunity to supplement the lifeboat's usual store of Water and biscuit. A single cask of water stowed in the stern soon was exhausted, but rain fell, and the men suffered less from thirst than from hunger. One hundred pounds of tardtack furnished their only food. This was used up the first week. Day after day the men made desper- ate efforts to attract the attention of passing shipping. On the first tw» days three steamers were sighted, an] for nearly a week the boat. remained di- rectly in the path of transatlantic tratf- fic, but no vessel saw them. Drifted 120 Miles te the North, At the end of the first week they had drifted about 120 miles to the north away from the winter track of the lin- ers. The immediate vicinity of Sabi« Island is carefully avoided by merchant ships, and apart from the ice, patrol ships there is virtually no craft where they were picked up. With hope of rescue fast vanishing, the men lost courage. One week from the day they left the ship, the fast of the bread crumbs were eaten. On that day one of the 15 men died. Some of tive men drank salt water, and one of them became insane, and died soon afterward 7cur’ remained. Peter tr tel died a was in sight. Chief.

No intimations concerning the name of a possible suc- cessor to Huerta were contained in the dispatch, this” subject being one if which it would be necessary to consult the opinion of Constitutionalist and —- er leaders in Mexico. Net a Rebel Military widens “The Huerta delegates never will agree to the selection for provisional President of any of the Constitutional- ist military men,’’ said «a man who had a long talk with the Huerta representa- tives here yesterday. “They are not suggesting any names, however, for provisional President, nor are they going to make suggestions t® the mediators unless asked, as they are expecting the initiative to come from the three South American ane They want someone, however, for visional President who will guarantee @ fair election to all parties concerned and who has not been a military pa Of course this: would not exclude @ number of men who have been in sym- pathy with the Constitutionaliats, not military leaders.” : This view coincided with that obtained from other persons who had informal teiks with the Huerta delegates here.

VERA CRUZ, May 18.—A _ rumored concentration of Mexican Federal troops before the American lines in the neigh- borhood of Vergara Station, two miles out on the Interoceanic Railroad, failed to materialize into the early morning attack which had been predicted by na- tives who enter Vera Cruz yesterday. The night passed without any incident iF RETURNING WITH NEW HAVEN DATA FOR FOLK Testimony Tomorrow Expected to Bare Every Detail of Road’s Purchase of Subsidiaries. WASHINGTON, May 18.—When the New Haven Railroad, returns to Washington late today, he is expected to turn over to the Interstate Commerce Commission, through Chief Counsel Jo- seph W. Folk, documents and papers which he went to New Haven to ob- tain. The papers relate, according to Mr. Mellen’s testimony, to the operations of the New Haven entirely aside from its relations with the Billiard company. It is the announced purpose of the com- ‘{mission not to confine Mr. Mellen’s ex- amination to the Billiard transactions, but to enter fully into the acquisition by the road of all of its subsidiary properties. Mr. ‘Mellen is expected to inform the commission, when he resumes the stand tomorrow, how the properties were ob- tained, from whom they were purchased and how much was paid for them. Par- ticular efforts will be made to ascer- tain the methods employed in obtaining the subsidiaries and the names of the people or concerns that conducted the deals and handled the money. ROAD REJECTS ONE-CENT FARE; AGENT TO BE HELD O’Meara’s Requisition for Moy- ing of Militia Not Honored; Suit to Result. JEFFERSON CITY, May 18.—At- torney-General Barker this morning said he would prepare information today for the arrest of E. P. Robin- son, ticket agent in Jefferson City for the M., K. & T. Railroad, because the agent refused to honor a requi- sition for the transportation of a body of militiamen at the rate of 1 cent a mile from Jefferson City to Nevada, Mo. The requisition was issued by Ad- jutant-General John B. O'Meara, un- der a Missouri stathte which provides that bodies of militiamen must be carried by the railroads at the above rate. Shortly after the decision of the Supreme Court, upholding the 2-cent fare law, the _ railroads. notified O’Meara that they would not haul militiamen any cheaper than other passengers, because the law was class legislation and unconstitutional. Barker said the railroad company would probably ask for a writ of habeas corpus to release the agent from custody, and the courts then will pass on the constitutionality of the law.

The Govern- ment of the United States is keenly sensible of the cordial feeling harbored in your enlightened and progressive country toward the United States and in assuring you of the desire and aim of this Government to reciprocate and foster that feeling. I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to your maj- esty my personal good wishes for your continued welfare and happiness. “WOODROW WILSON, “President of the United States.’’ CHRISTIANIA, May 18, 1914—The Pres- ident, Washington—I thank your excel- lency very much for your very kind telegram, which my people appreciate very much, as we have so many Nor- wegians who are now good American subjects, at the same time not forget- ting the old mother country. “HAAKON, R.”’ DR.

Governor of Vera Cruz Tells of Mexico's Conditions, WASHINGTON, May 18—Robert J. Kerr of Chicago and Mexico City, who governor of Vera Cruz ri in’ Washington. tod” t AV nite House to lay, % to Vera Cruz conditions before lated persistently yesterday concern- ing Mexican troop movements in the neighborhood of the American out- posts. The American army headquar- ters staff was disinclined to take these rumors seriously, but precau- tions naturally were.taken to guard against any possible night surprise. Citizens Are Not Alarmed. Care was taken, however, not to alarm the inhabitants of this city, and the only noticeable effect of the orders given was the absence of sol- diers and sailors from the streets ex- cept in the case of those on duty. The routine of the garrison was not interrupted today. The infantrymen turned out for drill in the early morning hours to avoid the heat after sunrise. The artillery and cavalry also took advantage of the cool pe- riod of the morning to exercise their horses and mules and keep them in condition. Under the general precautionary plans drawn up by the headquarters staff, the marines and bluejackets on board the American fleet are held in readiness to come ashore at an hour’s notice, in case the garrison slfould be attacked. This augments Brigadier-General Funston’s available force by many thousands officers and men and for this reason American officers doubt that the Mex!- cans will make a serious assault on ths American lines under any circumstances. Humor That Huerta Led Troops. The possibility that Provisional Prési- dent Huerta might prefer to bring on fighting with the American troops and make a short and desperate struggle to save his honor in this way, rather than await destruction by the Constitution- alist armies, was discussed freely here. This was thought to be responsible for an untraceable rumor that Gen. Huerta himself was commanding the Mexican forces in front of Vera Cruz, Estimates of the Mexican forces vary widely, but information reaching the American staff here indicates that the Mexican army in the neighborhood of Vera Cruz is inconsiderable.

Circuit Judge Wurdeman of St. Louis County, Monday sustained a demurrer filed by attorney for August Kasse- baum, County Collector, in a_ suit brought to recover -$530, which State Auditor Gordon alleged, in a recent re- port, had been withheld by Kassebaum without authority, when he was an As- sociate Judge of the County Court. The demurrer who set forth that the alleged indebtedness was barred from collection by the statute of limitations. The demurrer was filed Saturday, and argument made for the defense. Prose- cuting Attorney Lashly offered no argu- ment. Gordon charged that the mem- bers of the County Court had retained a fee of $ each for meetings on ‘‘com- mittee days,” when there was no record that the court had met.

Witnesses Debate Question Be- |, fore Commission Here to Frame Compensation Law. St. Louisans, appearing Monday at & public hearing held at the Planters Ho- tel by the State Senate commission drafting a workingmen’s compensation law for Missouri, gave their ideas about how the law should be limited. There was a dispute between Rober* lL. Dutton, representing an insufance company, and George Safford, an attor- ney representing the Missouri Federa- tion of Labor, as to lability of the em- ployer when an employe was struck by lightning. If a man standing on a bridge is killed by lightning, Dutton said, he did not’ think the employer should be held liable. Safford asked if the employer should be held liable if lightning strikes a telegraph wire and kills a telegraph operator work- ing at the key. Dutton replied affirm- atively, and was asked how he recon- ciled this statement with that about the employe killed upon the bridge. Putton Explains the Difference. “The man standing on the bridge was killed by an act of God, and might as easily have been killed by a cyclone or in an insurrection,’’ Dutton replied. ‘‘In the other instance, lightning might have hit the wire 10 miles away from where the operator was killed at his key. The operator was killed while at his occupa- tion.”’ This, Dutton said, was only in- directly an act of the elements. Dutton suggested the compensation law should be limited to accidents arising out of business which the em- ployer created, and not out of acci- dents caused by the elements. By 60 limiting the bill, he said the State will lessen insurance rates. Senator Allroy S.. Phillips of St. Louis asked Dutton if occupational diseases should be included in the law. Dutton said insurance rates would be higher if they were and that ulti- mately the employer would find him- self paying for 70 per: cent of the deaths in each occupation. Then, What Is an Accident? Dutton said the commission should determine whether to limit the bill to accidents to a person or to accidental accidents to a person. A man might have injured himself previously, he argued, and cause a return of that in- jury by straining himself by heavy lift- ing. In this event, Dutton did not think an employer liable. Senator Benjamin L. White presided at the hearing. Senator Robert McClir- tic and Senator Phillips were presert and Senators W. G. Busby and Walter C. Goodson were absent. A number of insurance men, employers and others interested in the proposed law, attended the sessions, which wi'l be held at various cities in the State. Hearings by the commission already have been held in several states whers the workingmen’s compensation law is in effect. The commission will draft a bill to be submitted at the next session of the Legislature. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ST. LOUIS ORGANIZED Six Directors to Be Selected by the Member Banks and Three by Government. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was organized Monday by a committee representing five banks, selected by the Organization Committee of the Federal Reserve Board to sign the organization certificate. The members of the committee met 1n the rooms of the Clearing House Asso- ciation in the Third National Bank Building and executed the organization certificate. After signing the certift- cate, the committee sent a telegram to the Federal Reserve Board in Washint- ton, congratulating jit upon the launch- ing of the new financial system and pledging their support.

YEARS 1S DECIDED: WILL BE APPEALED Rothwells Get Verdict Against Railway, but Will Demand Larger Judgment. The celebrated lawsuit of James F. and Richard Rothwell against the St. Louis Belt & Terminal Railway for $117,256.16, which has been pending in the courts of St. Louis County 10 years at a cost of more than $25,000, was decided Monday by Judge Wurde- man. A verdict of $23,009.57, with 10 years’ interest; bringing the total to $36,784.63, was given in favor of the Rothwells. The suit was on a contract for the construction of what was known as the outer belt line, extending from Hall's Ferry road on the north to the Frisco lines in Maplewood, a distance of 16.32 miles. Road Never Was Complcted. The railroad never was completed, al- though more than $2,000,000 was spent in iis construction. The Rothwell brothers were bankrupted by the Itigation, and removed to California to try to rehabili- tute their fortunes. One of the principal witnesses in the case, B. E. Johnson, ai: engineer for the railroad company, and two lawyers, Judge J. E. McKeigh- an and Lee Mudd, have died since the suit was filed. Even the decision of Judge Wurdeman will not settle the case, as Attorney Randolph Laughlin, for the Rothwell brothers, said he would appeal to the Supreme Court because the judgment was too small. The railroad company refused to pay the claim of the Rothwell brothers on the ground that the work was not completed within the time specified in the contract. The Rothwells asserted the railroad company was responsible for the delay, because it failed to pro- vide proper construction materials, and that its plans were so bungled that the bridges were built too high or too low, and unnecessary cuts and frills had to be made. The original suit was filed May 26, 1904, but it took the lawyers 18 months to complete their pleadings. John W. Booth of Washington County was appointed referee by the Court to hear the testi- mony, and decide the Case. That was Jan. 5, 1906. Four months were spent taking the testimony. New Referee Appointed. Both had the case under advisement for three years, and found the problem toc knotty to solve. He was removed as referee Nov. 1, 1910, after having re- ceived from $5000 to $7000 for his serv- ices, and Henry Higginbotham of Kirk- wcod was appointed to succeed him. Higginbotham made his report to Judge Wurdeman, July 12, 1913, finding in fav- or of the Rothwells. Judge Wurdeman in his decision Monday. affirmed , the findings of Higginbotham, except that he made the judgment a lien against the St. Louis Belt & Terminal Railway ani the Interstate Construction Co., a code- fendant. Higginbotham was allowed $4005 for his services. The St. Louis County Court recently issued an order directing the railroad company to remove all its wood bridges They have decayed, and become danger- ovs. Manv of the bridges above the railroad tracks were constructed so low that the smoxestacks of the locomotives were knock-d off, according to Ran- 4olph Laughlin, attorney for the Roth- well brothers. $6—Toledo and Return—$6 Via Clover Leaf Route, May 22 and 2.

The Coroner will investigate the death of Charles Obermeyer, 43 years old,:a real estate dealer, who died of carbolic acid poisoning Sunday morning, at his home, 3061 Marcus avenue.

Lindeman told the police that Ober- meyer had suffered from nervousness, but was feeling comparatively well when he retired Saturday night. When his wife, Mrs. Johanna Obermeyer, went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast, Obermeyer went to the bathroom medi- cine chest to get a liquid bromide.

All seats, including boxes, will )be free and unreserved at this and all wother rehearsals. Rehearsals, not in costume, will be held on the stage Fevery afternoon and night this week, and Sunday afternoon there will be a rehearsal of all the music. The time for the motion picture rehearsals, which will be dress rehearsals, will be fixed in a day or two. Thousands sce Hehearsals. Thousands of visitors to Forest Park Sunday saw the rehearsals of the morn- ing and afternoon, and a fringe of spec- tators was on the front seats when a rehearsal for the Masque began at 8 p. m. Thé morning rehearsal was also for the Masque. The largest crowd viewed the afternoon rehearsal, which covered several of the Pageant scenes, and there was frequent applause, es- pecially when the gavotte was danced by 50 couples in the transfer scene. The scenery is being put in place, and the rear wall has been made to re- semble the ruins of a tropical temple. This is the appearance it will have in the Masque. In the Pageant this wall will be covered with foliage, to form a forest-primeval effect. . Reversible Scenery Used. Some of the scenery now on the is reversible, and a realistic log fence, which is to surround the settlers’ stockade, becomes, when turned about, a clump of bushes. These changes are to be made by the actors, working ratively unnoticed, while some group of actors is taking up the cen- ter of the stage. There is no& curtain. From the seats, the vastness of the Pageant stage becomes apparent. A group of 100 or 150, which would con- ‘stitute a mob gn an indoor stage, ap- pears but a handful. But while the hu- man figure, singly a-:d in groups is, thus dwarfed by the size of the place, there is no such effect on the human voice. The leading actors Sunday got their lines over the water and the hill- side with astonishing success, and per- sons who stopped in automobiles in front of the Art Museum said they heard the words plainly. Speetacular Wrestling Match. Joseph Lindon Smith, stage director ot the Masque, conducted the night re-- hearsal, which was for the leaders of the pioneers, and for the minions of Gold who combat with the pioneers as ‘wrestlers. *"This wrestling,” Smith instructed the combatants, ‘“‘must be spectacular rather than scientific.

Smith reminded the Goldites that the wres- tling match was a two-out-of-three af- fair, and that they were to put the pioneers on their back in the first bout. To show what he meant by spectac- ular wrestling, Smith shed his coat, and leaped about the center of the stage with Gold, seeking a hold. Gold got the hold, and Smith, who is not a Zbyszko in physical proportions, was whirled about his antagonist’s head be- fore being down on his back. ° Mayor Jacob Haussling of Newark, N.

F223 CREVE COEUR LAKE, ANOTHER RESCUED Women and “Children See Skiff Capsize When Men Try to Exchange Places in Boat. Many pleasure seekers at Creve Coeur Lake. Sunday afternoon. witnessed “the drowning of James Kehoe, 3% years old, a contractor, of 4715 Muaffitt avenue, and the rescue of James Aubuchon, [9 years old, a carpenter, ef 4242 Marga- retta avenue. Kehoe and Aubuchon, who had been fishing, attempted to exchange places in a skiff when only about 100 feet from the United Railweys boat land- ing at the north end of the lake, Men, women and children who had gone to the lake for a day’s outing were eating lunch under the_ trecs along the shore and many were sit- ting at tables near the landing, when they saw the boat capsize. Children See Struggle. There were startled screams from the women and children when the two men were seen struggling in the water and trying to grasp the overturned skiff. Thomas Gillespie, 30 years old, a car- penter, of 17 Sixteenth street, who had been eating lunch with his wife and 10-year-old daughter, was the first to go to the rescue. He called to a i..an named Vogel and asked him to untie a skiff. Gillespie and Vogel rowed out to the struggling men and jumped into the water to rescue them. Vogel swam toward Kehoe and Gillespie approached Aubuchon. Kehoe sank just as Vogel was about to grasp him and did not again come to the surface. Vogel dived several times but could not reach Kehoe. Aubuchon, physically powerful and weighing 180 pounds, fought with Gil- lespie, whose weight is only 10 pounds.

WASHINGTON, May 18.—Vice-Presi- dent Marshall’s declaration that one of America’s ills ‘tis that there is too much science in the so-called educational sys- tem and too little God Almighty” oc- casioned comment in Washington today. The statement was made at a church gathering here last night. “There is this thing wrong in many of the churches,’’ said the Vice-Presi- dent, ‘‘that, because church and state are separate and the state makes the schools, the church feels itself absolved from any duty in the direction of edu- eation of youth. ‘‘I believe there is in this country to- day a great spiritual awakening and the church is beginning to see that it. has turned over entirely too many of its functions to the state.” : The Vice-President also let it be known that some day he would farget ST.

A fine drive to the twelfth enabled him to get on the green in two and he holed out with an eight-foot putt to win the hole and the match. J. Murray of Romford, England, beat C. W.

The Roi Tans defeated the Tademas in a 10-inning game in the third round of the Druggists’ Baseball League schedule, 10-— The winners overcame an eight-run lead es finished the game with a fast double play by Beck, Wayne and Patterson. The battery work of Swift and Magner and the fielding of Jess Robinson featured the winners’ play. In the other game the Sharp-Dohmes defeat- ed the Bauer-Biacks. 3 eee ve Palmer, champion of Ireland, Travers’ defeat came as a surprise to Americans and even to some of the British experts, as the Yankee has been playing splendidly in practice. He was one of those favored in the betting and a commission of $25,000 had been placed in the hands of British brokers to bet on him at 6 to l. : Harold Hilton, holder of the British title, "Was one of the early starters, when the tournament opened _ today, and he defeated his opponent, H,. L. Boyd, 8 up-»and 7 to play. Palmer comes from Handsworth, Bngland, and is a very strong tourna- ment player. He and Travers were square at the ninth hole but he soon afterward took the lead. Neither Travers or Palmer played very good gelf today. Travers ap- peared to allow too much for the speed of the greens. Consequently he was short with his approacu shots while his drives were about 20 yards shorter than those of his opponent. Even his putting was poor. Palmer was suffering from lum- bago and his drives lacked their usual American champion took an earty lead but the players were all square at the turn. Travers was again 2 up at the thir- teenth hole, but Palmer caught him at the sixteenth and won the last two holes. Big: Crowd Follows Travers. Practically every spectator on the course followed Travers and Palmer around. There was a great contin- gent of Americans in the crowd. The elimination of Travers was the sensation of the day. It was quickly followed by the defeat of two other Americans, Henry J. Topping and Ed- ward 8S. Knapp. The first American to score a win was Fraser Hale of Chicago, who beat W. Whigham of the Royal St. George Club, a golfer almost as well known on American links as in Engmnd. A second victory for the American contings nt, that of Charles W. Evans of Chicago, 5 up and 4 to go, over Cranston, was quickly followed vy the defeat of C. W. Inslee of the Oneida Community Club, New York, by J. Murray of England. Francis Ouimet, the American open champion, won easily from C. C. Me- Gregor of Manilla, champion of the Philippines, by 7 up and 6 to play. Quimet in Form.

BOSTON, May 15.—Sensational testi- mony is expected in the $100,000 breach of promise suit brought by Mrs. Caro- line S. Bartlett of Boston, prominent in @eciety, against Arthur Graves Lund of Back Bay and Washington, D. C. The trial of the case will begin tomorrow morning in the Suffolk Superior Court. Mrs. Bartlett is the former wife of L. F. Bartlett, a Western oil magnate. She is a direct descendent of Sir Thomas Boynton of London. One of her great grandfathers was Major-General Sulli- van Smith, who served in the Revolu- tionary War. She lives on Beacon Hill. Lund is a Sergeant in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery. In May, 1912, he married Louise Bankhead Perry, the writer, widow of Congressman William Hayne Perry of North Carolina, and daughter of United States Senator Bank- head of Alabama. Two months later Mr. and Mrs. Lund went with the Ancients to London, and Lund, as Sergeant of the Boston com- og took an active part in the festiv- ities prepared by the London Ancients. In the same month, July, 1912, Mrs. Bartlett filed her suit for breach of promise. She alleges she met Lund about 13 years ago and he became en- gaged to her, gave her a diamond en- gagement ring and other gifts. Lund, through counsel, demanded in 158 interrogatories that she specify the gifts. Mrs. Bartlett filed a Hst of pres- ents which included flowers, candy, books, a cheval mirror, laces, clock vanity case, china finger bowls, money, a history of France and a Holland cheese. A request was made by Lund’s attor- ney that the case be tried before an auditor. which would make it private, The request was denied by Judge Jenny.

CONFERENCE THURSDAY Officials of Five States Will Consider Proposal for Ending of Receivership, JEFFERSON CITY, May 18.—The re- organization plans of the Wabash Rai!- road, which were filed with the Public Service Commission today, provide for a reduction of $10,000,000 in the capita] in- vested and an assessment of $20 on each share of stock. The plans were mailed simultaneously to the Public Utilities Commissions of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. They stipulate that all stock in the old company shall be surrendered and the properties reincorporated. No preferred stock will be issued in the new organization, but preferred stock in the old company will be ex- changed for common stock in the new on an equal basis. Common stock in qhe old company will be exchanged for com- mon stock in the new at 88 per cent of par value. The report embodies a plan to estab- lish a system of block signals and the dispatching of trains by telephone, over the entire system, the purchase of new equipment, improvement of terminals, abolishment of grade crossings in St. Louis and other cities and the laying of more double track. The report estimates that $30,380,000 in cash will be necessary to carry out the plan. This amount is to be @ tained by the sale of $14,000,000 general and refung- ing mortgage bonds at & and the assess- ment of $92,400,000 on old stock, common and preferred. The funds will be used to pay interest on the first refunding and extension bonds, to satisfy $14,309,000 of certificates issued by the receivers, to discharge old equipment obligations and provide $5,- 500,000 for new equipment and a working capital for the new company. All un- secured claims will be paid on a basis of 50 per cent, The report recommends that 20,000 acres of coal lands neay Taylorville, l1l., be purchased at $30 per acre and held as a reserve fuel supply. It points out that the acquisition of a fuel reserve would enable the road to demand better terms on annual fuel contracts, and that the annual cost of fuel to the roa: amounts to 7% per cent of the gross revenues. The Public Utilities Commissions v2 Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana ani Ohio will hold a joint meeting in St. j Louis at Hotel Jefferson, Thursday, to consider the plan submitted.

The Signals of Victory. At the close of the past summer Secretary Herbert E. Mortland of the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission made the following report: The St. Louis Pure Milk Commission, Office of Secretary and Laboratory, 1726 North 13th street. . St. Louis, Oct. 7, 1913. Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund: It gives me great pleasure to submit a statement of the work carried on in behalf of the babies dur- ing the hot summer months. It has been a very satisfactOry sum- mer in every respect, every constitu- ent having done its utmost to bring about the most successful results. The baby death rate has been ma- terlally lowered. The total number of babies fed by the Pure Milk Commission during the summer just past was 535. The greatest number fed on any one day was on Aug. 3, when 340 were supplied with pure milk. The total number of feedings dur- ing the summer was 197,584. In the infant feeding and instruc- tion clinics 970 consultations were SS held with mothers in matters particu- larly which concern the nutrition of the child. The work was ably assisted by your splendid effort in raising a fund for that purpose, and I congratulate you on your success. Cordially yours, H. E. MORTLAND, Secretary. Mrs. Nellie T. Mellick, visitor for the Free Ice and Sick: Diet Circle of the King’s Daughters, reported as follows: Report from June 1 to Oct. 1, 1913: Number of families receiving Number of pounds of ice distributed. .

Mortland of the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission that the baby death rate in the tenement districts was materially lowered. The truth devel- oped later that the baby death rate in St. Louis for the summer of 1913 was the lowest of any large Amer- ican city. Splendid Fight to Sate the Babies.

There was one period during the Summer when it. seemed inevitable that many tenement babies must die. So imminent was this menace that anyone who then should have pre- dicted “a material lowering of the baby death rate’ would have seemed guilty of the sheerest folly in opti- mistic thought. The St. Louis Pure Milk Commis- sion had no money in its treasury. It was in debt instead. The Free Ice and Sick Diet Circle of the King’s Daughters had no money. And at that very moment the sev- enteen pure milk stations maintained by the St. Louis Pure Milk Commis- sion in various crowded sections of the city were filled to the doors with a piteous army of tenement mothers entreating help for their imperiled babies. Never before in the history of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, of the st. Louis Pure Milk Commission, or of the Free Ice and Sick Diet Circle of the King’s Daughters had a situation so ominous to the tenement babies been confronted. It was at this moment that the Post- Dispatch, establishing the Pure Milk League, voiced a special and urgent appeal to the children of St. Louis. How the Children Won the Fight. And it was from this moment on- Ward that the children of St. Louis responded so effectively that the full- est hel» needed was stcadily extended. All bills for milk and ice were paid as they became due. Every pure milk station was kept open and running to its fullest capacity. Not one tenement mother was. de- nied the pure milk necessary to the saving of her baby’s life. And the daily distribution of. free ice to these tenement mothers and to the sick poor was made on a larger scale than ever before. The children of St. Louis raised the money necessary to pay the entire cost “f this splendid life-saving service in the tenement districts. They raised the money by giving their own juvenile performances of Iftle fairy tale plays, by presenting pretty vaude- ville programs of childish dancing and singing, by conducting lawn carnivals. by the sale of lemonade and other re- freshments at litile street stands, and by many other good means of their own devising. They were indomitable in helpfulness They worked night and day. Always there was a steady procession of League children coming down to the Post-Dispatch to pay into the Pure Milk Fund the money of their raising. And the splendid result of their great achievement was voiced in Secretary Mortland’s one eloquent sentence: ‘‘fhe baby death rate has been mate- rially lowered.” This was the satisfying answer to the inspiring slogan of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk League, so pluckily sounded by the League children as they marched ‘+o the front for active service when the yattle seemed lost and the little ones of the poor seemed doomed to death. The League slogan was the children’s slogan: “Save the babies!” And it will be their slogan again this summer. The children of the League, 5000 strong before the season closes, according to present indicati ns, will prosecute a noble campaign for the rescuing of the tenement tots from sickness and death. The grown folks wiil help them. Everybody can help. Twenty dollars will save the life of one baby by giving it pure modified milk. Every dollar helps. Save the babies! U sy read my palm.

It was quite a tribute,to President Wilson that ex-President Taft, in his interesting speeech on peace Sunday, was able to commend in the main Mr.. Wilson’s Mexican policy. The only criticism of the Government’s conduct in the Mexican trouble offered by Mr. Taft con- cerned our attitude towards the Constitutional- ists. The ex-President thought the President had increased our responsibilities in Mexico by favor- iug the Carranza-Villz cause. Yet, in his views on the method of procedure which would involve the least cost of life, treasure and labor, Mr. Taft plainly approved the method adopted by th2 Presi- dent. The. yery conditions which he pointed out would make our task easier are those created by the successes of the Carrancistas. Instead of having to fight united Mexico, we have only to permit or assist the Constitutionalists to elimi- nate Huerta and undertake the task of pacifying the country. Mr. Taft unqualifiedly commended the effort to solve the problem by mediation and the Presi- dent’s declaration that whatever we have to do, we will intervene “in the service of mankind.” He approved the blockade of seaports as the wisest possible course. Mr. Taft suggested, of course, the possibility that the Constitutionalists may be unequal to the job of bringing about peace and orderly govern- ment, and that all of our efforts to avoid further military and naval operations may fail, but we are in the stronger position by reason of the sac- rifices we are making and the:patience we are ex- ercising in behalf of peace. Mr. Taft’s utterances fairly represent the judg- ment of intelligent and unprejudiced men in this country and abroad. . Undoubtedly the future will justify every effort the President has made to avoid costly war in Mexico Events will prove the wisdom of his patient course. = = * wT ww COSTLY PARK SANDWICH.

PENURY AND PANTS. The penury of riches whines a protest against the extravagance of poverty in a letter to the Post-Dispatch signed “‘Westmoreland Place.” He complains that the poor are not good economizers “because they are not possessed of enough com- mon sense to utilize their talents to advantage.” And the wise and wealthy Poor Richard, vouch- safes: For example, a large size potato sack (‘cost 7 cents) cut down the center lengthwise and the edges sewed together make a strong, ser- viceable pair of trousers. Yet, such id2zas as these are overlooked in the business of spreading discontent. I sometimes wish that I were poor, in order that I might put to shame those who rant at the wealthy wetter class as idlers. They themselves are the real idlers, when there is so much they could do to economize, as shown above. It is true that some poor men are poor because they have rich men’s habits, and some rich men are rich because they have poor men’s habits. By the same token there is no pauper so destitute as the poor rich man with a talent for skimping, whose meannesses have made his money, and whose money made him mean. Some people are evidently living for no other purpose than to see how cheaply the thing can be done. Others are not content to exist on earth just to see how much they can do without.

Morton has just celebrated his nine- tieth birthday. Another surviving former Vice- President, Adlai Stevenson, is reported to be undergoing medical’ treatment at Chicago, but has already reached 89. J. C. Breckenridge was only 54, J. S. Sherman 57 and G. A. Hobart 55 when they died, but in general while the cares of the presidency un- doubtedly shorten the life of its incumbents those destined for the vice-presidency seem tolerably certain to reach a ripe old age. Hannibal Ham- lin was 82 when he died, Henry Wilson, T. A. Hendricks, Schuyler Colfax and William R. King were all well above 60. George M. Dallas was 72, R. M. Johnson 70 and J. C. Calhoun only a little less than 70. Chester A. Arthur was only 56, but the weight of the presidency had descended on him. Even the stress of the chief office has not always availed to lessen the span of those to whom the vice-presidency has once given its benign mo- mentum toward longevity. Van Buren lived to be 80, Tyler to be 72, Fillmore to be 74. Broken- hearted Andy Johnson survived attempted im- peachment until he was 67. Of our four living ex-Vice-Presidents, Mr. Fairbanks is now 62 and Thomas R. Marshall, who will one day be an ex-Vice-President, is 60. Mr. Roosevelt is 56.

The idea is original with Gov. Harrison as concerns Governors-General of the Philippines and the people they have represented. For the first time a chief rexecutive has made the business men of the community at home at Malacanang, there to talk over frankly the situation and points of public interest. All are at. liberty and urged ‘to make sugges- ‘tions as to what they consider best for The:r are the welfare of troubles, the country. perplexities and hopes talked over frankly, and advice freely asked and given. Never before has a Governor-General gotten closer to the business men of Manila than has Francis Burton Harri- son, and this series of informal smokers had aided greatly in this. They have shown how desirous Gov. Harrison is of doing everything in his power to get at the bottom of thirigs, to understan:! and to help. The custom has endeare:l him to the members of the busineas community, and has done more than any other one thing to assure them that all the sympathies of the Governor-Gen- eral are with them, and that he desires nothing so much as their prosperity and that of the country. It is a difficult job that Mr. Harrison hay, undertaken. There are complica- tYons innumerable to be studied. Hiza asking the business men for their co- operation is a sign of his broad-minded- ness, his democracy and his intentions. Let the business men do their part, meet him half way and Francis Burton Harrison will do his part, and more. Gov. Harrison entertained more than two score business men at Malacanang last evening.
