The inquiry into the disaster was be- gan in Quebec June 16 by Lord Mersey, 8 Presiding Justice of the Brit- ish Admiralty Court: Sir Adolpho Rou- thier of Quebec, and Chief Justice Mc- Leod of New Brunswick.

The land company represented that it controlled a tract of 76,000 acres in Reynolds County, in Southern Mis- souri. Many investors are said to have paid the company sums from $3 to 315 on the promise that they would get land in this tract, and the more fortunate were to get town lots in the new town of Fruit City, which was to be built by the company. The company’s method of holding drawings for lots in the tract caused the lottery charge to be made. It was promised in the company’s advertising matter that there would be a drawing as often as a sufficient number of paid- up applications were received. Chances in Two Directions. According to the results of the draw- ing, those who paid in $15 got a chance on a tract of land anywhere from 10 acres to a quarter section in size, or on holdings of stock in the company organized to operate the orchard prop- erty. Persons who invested and went through the formalities, and who were told that they had drawn holdings of different kinds, have complained that they have received nothing tangible, and that the expected opening of the land has been f from time to time. Those who inquired 3 Uphoff as to the delay said they were told it was due A warrant Ainet William C. Uphoff, manager of the Rail- roads Unimproved Land Association, with offices in the Times Building, was issued ‘Saturday by Prosecuting Attorney Sidener, on complaint of Azrea Vadner of 6358 Spencer place, St. Louis County. The charge in the warrant is conducting a lottery. An investigation of the company’s affairs by the Federal authorities is to the officers of the company at its headquarters, which he said were in Chicago. Some of them wrote to the Chicago office, in the Great Northern Building, and received replies stating that the company had no -record of having re- ceived their contracts“ and suggest- ing that probably the writers had con- fused it with some other company. The name of H. N. Schocke was signed. Two of the complainants against the company here were William Barnett and Chris Shibley, New York youths who came to St. Loufs and invested all of their spare money in the land drawing scheme. They wrote to the Chicago of- fice and got unsatisfactory replies. Conflicting Clause in Small Type. gating the matter, one of the contracts was taken to Prosecuting Attorney Sid- ener by Vadner, the St. Louis County investor. Sidener found a small-type clause in the contract which apparently annulled what the large type seemed to promise. The small-type part said that the holder had acquired only the right to bid for land or orchard stock when fhe opening should take place. He then issued the warrant. Uphoff was not at his ofuce in the Times Building, and a girl employed there said he had gone to East St. Louis He lives at 3508 North Broadway. — FAIR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW; LIGHT WINDS THE THMPERATURES.

PANKHURST~ FREED HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 11.—Melville E. Ingalls of Cincinnati, organizer and former chairman of the board of di- rectors of the Big Four Railroad, died here today of heart failure brought on by the shock of a treatment for an ulcerated tooth. Ingalls had been ill at his summer home here for some time. Three days ago he began suffering from an ulcer- ated tooth. Ingalls was born at Harrison, Maine. in 1842, was reared on a farm and edu- cated at Bowdoin and Harvard. He was craduated as a laweyr and began prac- ticing at Grey, Maine, but soon removed to Boston and in 1867 was elected a mem- ber of the State Senate. His career as a railroad man and fin- ancier began in 1870 when he became dresident and a year later receiver of the old Indianapolis, Cincinnati & La Fayette Railroad. In the reorganization he created the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago and later consoli- dated it with other railroads forming the Big Four system of which he was chairman. He was president of the Chesapeake & Ohia from 1888 to 1900; was Democratic candidate for Mayor of Cincinnati in 1903 and president of the National Civic Federation in 1905. Besides the widow and daughter, Gladys, Ingalls is survived by four sons. Melville E. Ingalls Jr. and Fay Ingalls of New York; George H. Ingalls of Chicago and Albert S. Ingalls of Cleve- land.

La WIFE, KILLED Hg MOTHER, NOT SORRY Failed to Discharge Bullet Meant for Brother-in-Law. : CHILD QUARREL OVER Father-in-Law and His Friend Who Were Also Shot in Serious. Condition. Edwin Ellebracht, who killed his mother-in-law and wounded his wife, his wife’s stepfather and another man at 2707 Madison street, Friday night, said Saturday morning, in his cell at the Dayton Street Police Station, that he regretted only his failure to kill his brother-in-law, whom he twice attempt- ed to shoot. He also attempted to shoot his sister-inlaw. es, that's what I did the work with,” said Ellebracht when the re- volver, with four empty shells, was shown to him. Then he looked at the fifth shell, on which the trigger had snapped several times without discharg- ing it, and added: “I’m sorry I didn’t get the other guy, too.“ His wife, Mrs. Clara Ellebracht. 21 years old, who was wounded in the left arm, is at the Madison street home. The body of her mother, Mrs. Josephine Faragher, who was 51, is at the morgue. Her stepfather, James Faragher, 57, is in the city hospital, with a serious wound in the back and Frederick er- necke, 51, of 2903 Dickson street, is also in the hospital, wounded in the right forearm. 5 Mother-in-Law. Whom He Killed, Two He e Wounded and Another Who Escaped EDWIN eee 3 MRS. CLARA ELLEBRACHT. Edward and Celia Horstmann, brother and sister of Mrs. Ellebracht, escaped through the faulty working of Elle- bracht’s revolver. Quarreled Over Child. Ellebracht had been separated from his wife since a short time after their marriage, two years ago. He boarded at 3211 North Twenty-first street, and called occasionally at the Faragher home to see his child, Edna, now more than a year old. These visits were usually marked by unpleasant scenes. Shortly after 8 p. m. Friday he ap- peared at the Faragher home, the first visit, according to his wife, since last Easter. As he approached the front of the house, Faragher, Mrs. Faragher and Wernecke were sitting on a lower step, Mrs. Faragher holding the baby: Mrs. Ellebracht and her sister, Celia Horstmann, were on an upper step. Ellebracht walked up to his mother- in-law and tried to take the baby from her arms. Tou can’t have her,” said Mrs. Faragher. “You've never done anything for her.“ The man loosened his hold on the baby’s foot, stepped back, and, still standing within six feet of the steps, drew his revolver. The survivors say he fired first 2: Mrs. Faragher, then at his wife, then at Faragher, and last at Wernecke. Mrs. Faragher, the only one at whom he seemed to take any careful aim, was wounded in the right temple and fell dying in the yard. Celia Forstmann started down the steps, and Ellebracht snapped the re- volver at her, but the fifth shell was not discharged. He snapped it again at Edward Horstmann as the latter came out of the house and tried to seize Elle- bracht. Arrested Three Hours Later. Then Ellebracht ran on Madison street to Elliot avenue, where Edward Horst- mann, pursuing him, overtook him. He turned and snapped the revolver again at his brother-in-law, then ran into an alley. He was arrested at 11:15 p. m. in the yard of Mrs. Elizabeth Take’s home at 3610 Hebert street. Mrs. Take, her brother, Edward Telgahadar, and three other men who were in the yard, were arrested on the charge of aiding a fugi- Ave, but were released today. The re- volver was found in a yard when Elle- bracht had tossed it. Police Sergt. Kirk, who arrested Elle- bracht, said Mrs. Take and the men tried to deceive him as to Ellebracht’s identity. Mrs. Take is the daughter of the woman at whose home on Twenty-first street Ellebracht has been boarding. Mrs. Ellebracht said Saturday that she hoped she would never hear of her hus- band again. She said she hoped he would be fittingly punished for the mur- der of her mother. She said he was at no time a good husband, and that his abuse. compelled her to leave him. He was not intoxicated at the time of the killing, in the opinion of the survivors. DOGS ROUTED IN OLEO.

Inflation of the nine Palle ae Wi are to sail, late this afternoon, from Priest¢r’s Park, Grand avenue and Meramec street, in the national balloon race, began at 10 a. m. today.

The winnér will represent the United States in the international race, to start from Kansas City next October. As the longest flights on record in America have been made from St. Louis, it is not unlikely. that the winner of the national contest will go farther than any of the international contest- ants. The Atlantic Coast and remote Cana- dian regions have been the usua! land- ing places of the winners of balloon races starting from St. Louis. The order of starting was determined by lot.

CULIAR interest attaches to the appearance of another book by ; W ; Baroness Bertha von Suttner for 5. 1 reasons. One is that she was award- the Nobel prize for her epoch-mak- novel, “Lay Down Your Arms,” * i i . 1 the other is that almost coincident with the publication of her latest book, | . nen Thoughts Will Soar,” came the 27 ouncement of the death of the Bar- ae 2 i — conn r at her home in Vienna. The new book is of a kind with the other which brought fame and thr $40,- 000. prize, in that it also pleads for inter- 18 friendship and peace. Opinion ’ will be divided as to how favorably it compares with its predecessor. Basis of comparison is somewhat lacking from the fact that the new book is a less doncentrated peace plea than was the . .

THE 7 151 CONFEDERACY SAYS HE is "ALL ae BIBLICAL DEFENSE OF DRINK. T the Bible approves strong drink, in its place, is the conten- tion of Rev. Dr. E. A. Wesson, rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Newark, N. J., in a book “Religion and Drink,” in which he traverses the whole subject, with abundance of reference both to the scriptures and the church fathers. According to the writer, the wine that maketh glad the heart of man” was not merely unfermented grape juice, which, of course, has no specially exhilarating effect, but was wine in the commonly accepted sense. It was such wine that Jesus made as his first act in his public ministry. And it was such wine that he dispensed at the Last Supper. To the contention of the thetotalees that two kinds of wine are mentioned in the Bible—“tirosh,” or the fresh, unfermented juice of the grape, and „yayin,“ or fermented grape juice, and that tirosh' is commended and. yayin“ condemned, he gives abundant refer- ences to show that “yayin’’ itself is frequently praised. It is its abuse that the drinker is warned against. Rev. Wasson also reviews the history of modern church leaders, such aq Luther, Wesley, Whitefield, Bishop As- bury and others, to show that they used alcoholic liquors. Dr. Wasson ascribes the increasing sobriety of the present day to indus- trial changes rather than to the tem- perance propaganda. He cites govern- ment figures to show that with the growing temperance in the use of drink there is at the same time, in this coun- try, an increasing per capita consump- tion; and he predicts that these ten- dencies, if continued, will result in ev- erybody’s drinking and nobody’s getting drunk. He declares, too, that the Gov- ernment figures for divorce and for chureh membership in the old-time pro- hibtion states of Maine, Kansas and is injurious to family and church. For the period 1887-1906 Maine had one di- vorce to six marriages; Kansas one to nine; North Dakota one to 10; whereas, the ratio for the entire country was one to 18%, and for wide-open New Jersey one to 4, the best in the country. Maine and Kansas are also declared to be very deficient in the matter of church membership. But the unkindest cut of all is the author’s declaration that missionaries from the “dry” sec- tions regularly swarm the great wet“ centers for contributions to keep their „dry“ religion alive! He concludes what may be called the evidence from the texts with this sweep- ing and bold request, which will no doubt be promptly taken up: To name one single leader in the Church of God, I North Dakota indicate that prohibition L “The Salamander,” Johnson (Bobbs- ] . 23} maintains on the high seas. 3.

HE witty Baron Ernst von Wolzo- gen vastly must have relished the writing of Florian Mayr,” a novel which good-humoredly satirizes musical life and character in Berlin and Weimar during the lifetime of Abbe Franz Liszt, most picturesque of all the composer- Pianists who yet have played upon the world's heart-strings. The story is a delight from its first page to its last. It is in certain essen- tials the best musical romance of its generation. While it pillories many fa- miliar types of “music cranks,” it pre- sents perhaps the best portrait of Liszt himself that has ever been drawn in literature. The portrait is at once lova- ble and majestic. But, circling emotion- ally around this serene and lofty Liszt are the most amusing examples of the various breeds of tone-mad' folk that thus far have emerged upon the pages of realistic fiction. The brilliant Baron von Wolzogen, who loves these worthies even while he laughs at them, has more fun parodying their poses and affecta- tions than if, te modify an old phrase, he had been studying and describing the low-comedy antics of a cageful of mon- keys. The musical world of America, following the example of that of Europe. must needs roar with mirth in reading what he has written. Then. tée, there is a very pretty ro- mance running through the novel—the romance of the ardent love of Florian Mayr, the earnest young Liszt disciple and conductor, for two women, one a delightful and sound-hearted, though self-willed, Hungarian gypsy, the other & sweet and simple German maiden. This Florian Mayr, the central figure of the story at all moments, is a most likable chap, hot-tempered yet kindly of soul, sincere to the core, honestly serv- ing the art of music in a spirit of genu- ine consecratien, and loving Liszt with a love amounting ‘well-nigh to adora- tion. Poor and obscure when the reader first encounters him, he is thrown by the author headlong into the tempera- mental“ maelstrom ef Berlin's musica! life, and, for quite a time, there seems much likelihood of shipwreck and the utter ruin of his career. At a critical moment, however, he meets Franz Liszt, and at once, because of his sterling qual- ity as a musician and as a man, wins the favor of that remarkable genius. He does this so completely, indeed, that not only are his musical fortunes advanced, but Liszt, himself dearly beloved of women, guides him safely past some very rerilous sentimental pitfalls and gives him.the soundest advice concern- ing womankind possible to a man who had developed the study of woman into a profound science. It’s a pretty and exquisitely told story, and, all the time it is being told, the reader is kept chuckling by Von Wolzogen's keen thrusts at the many varieties of four- flushing’’ musical demigods and their worshipers, as vitally diverting and plentiful then as now. The book has had an enormous sale in Germany. It deserves a similar suc- cess in this country, being the most re- freshing novel encountered in many a long day. (Huebsch.)

F 2 — ̃ “BO N E W B “OUR MANY-SIDED NAVY.” OST Americans know that the V United States has a great navy.« They know that it takes high rank among the great navies of the world. But Robert Wilden Neeser, in his new book, “Our Many-Sided Navy,” asserts that that is about all the av- erage American knows about the great fighting organization that Uncle Sam We are told by the author that the American navy is prepared for war, that it is a wonderfully efficient fighting force; that it serves a useful purpose in times of peace, and would be ‘a tower ' of strength in case of attack by an enemy. But why? “Tt is a clear still night; only the ing stars in the heavens are shining; not another glimmer is visible. The fleet is steaming in a single column, with only. 250 y4rds of clear water be- tween the ships. All dead lights are screwed down over the portholes; not ray of light shows about them; not even the running lights are uncovered. The effect is awesome. The ship di- rectly ahead is swallowed up in the immense darkness of sea and sky. Your eyes try to pierce the inky blackn-ss: for an occasional glimpse of the tiny shaded light at her stern and the swirl made by her screws or the straight tracery of her skeleton masts as they cross the stars. Astern, only a couple of lengths off, is another ship forcing her huge mass after you, her ram cleaving its way through the water un- relentingly. Yet so perfect has the training been, so well drilled is the fleet, that the interval between the ships never varies, and on they speed as if tied together. “Suddenly the Ardois signal lamps on the flagship begin to wink; flashes of red and white lights pass aloft from ship to ship. A momentary pause. Then a great beam of light shoots across the Admirals bow. Instantly 96 other beams dart into the air, sweeping the horizon and illuminating each crest of wave. It is a search light drill, de- signed to teach the crews the use of one of the battleships greatest protections against a torpedo boat’s night attack. ‘Only a patch compared to the real thing’—a mere taste.“ Such is the author’s description of this one drill, which mustrates the won- derful efficiency of the naval organiza- tion. Months and months are spent every year in target practice and in drills. It was no doubt the result of the target practice that the gunners on board the warship at Vera Cruz were able to shoot all the windows out of the buildings in which the “snipers” had taken refuge during th days fol- lowing the fall of that city. Few people who have not made a close study of the navy know that it requires the services of 425 men to load and fire the main battery guns of one of our dreadnaughts every time a broad- side is discharged. And fewer still, know that only a score of these men se the actual firing of the shots, but that hundreds of others are at their plac2s below, each man performing a duty necessary to the efficient operation of the powerful guns. ) The object of the book is to inform the people of the United States about their navy; to reveal to them the every- day life of the bluejackets; to tell them why it is that the navy is in such a state of expert preparedness for every emergency, and why Americans should be proud of it, and not complain at the expense of its maintenance. The book is richly illustrated with halftone photographs of the big battleships, of the drills, of the racing and sports of the seamen, and the training station t Guantanamo. Bay.

David's Renunciation’ would have come nearer telling what hap- pened. The David created by Mrs. Owings was a physician whose wife, not a bad sort, but a bit selfish and thoughtless and regardless of her husband’s dearest wishes, did not choose to provide him with the children and other appurten- ances of domesticity for which he yearned. The nurse who assisted him was young and pretty and in iove with him and she, acknowledging no social law, set herself the task of winning him by the small attentions which his wife neglected. Aided by the propinquity which their professional! relations provided she made some progress in her plan of conquest but encountered something in his ideals of honor and fidelity that her lax creed had not taken into account. There was a time of wavering, when David was all but swept from his hold on moral verities, but through his re- nunciation there is accomplished not only the conservation of his own honor, but the awakening of the nurse’s better self. The story is prettily told, with rather too much of inconsequential detail for half its length. The story ends just when the situation is becoming ‘sans: | but it would not have been as pretty a story if it had gone on and perhaps it is as well that it ends there. (Cosmopoli- tan Press.)

The author is doing a real serv- ice to writers of English. This latest volume will be welcomed by those who are desirous of learning how to use the English language to the best advantage. Foreigners are usually astonished a: the incorrect English so universa’ among native Americans. If Americans will take the trouble to study text books like those comirg from Dr. Fernait’s pen there would surely be improvement in this direction. The present volume is so arranged that the reader wishing to consult it can do so with the least possible loss of time. This is a blessing, indeed.

Despite popular clamor and the pleadings of family and friends, he persists in championing, in season and out, the principle of respécting the indi- viduality of other nations. He condemns the Chauvinist dogma, “My Country, Right or Wrong.“ and after months of persecution suffers death at the hands of a mob for his persistence. That is the play. It has no humor or foil of brighter hue. Just a plain lesson and protest against Jingoism and conquest. (Scribner’s.) FARMERS AS BUSINESS MEN. LLIAM C.

During the last three days the World has shown the manner in which Secretary of State Knox re- daced the country to a Wall street dependency and the financial history printed today shows the toll that Wall street has exacted from its vic- tim. In spite of all these facts and fig- tres Secretary of State Bryan has made no moye to withdraw from his position im support of the treaty which :s now pending in the Senate committee.

That the country was in a fairly good financial condition when Knox drove Zalaya out and that it is now stag- gering under a debt which is growing by leaps and bounds. That the little group of political brigands who were put in office by Knox burglarized the national treasury to the extent of more than 20,000,990 pesos by the simple process of printing fiat money and foisting it upon the republic. That the Knox-made Government then turned over to Wall street at a ridiculously low price every national property of any value.

OFF pesos which were dumped out of the national treasury between September, 1910, and November, 1911. Where Money Went. The principal amounts paid out are presented herewith: Adolfo Diaz, the President of Nica- ragua, by grace of Secretary Knox, be- tween Nov. 12, 1910 and Aug. 9, 1911, 753.000 pesos. Emiliano Chamorro, the present Min- ister to Washington, for whom Secre- tary Bryan has recently expressed the highest esteem, received 10,000 pesos, but his father, Salvador Chamorro, took a total of 443,281. Through his firm he took 2,400,000 pesos additional. Minister Chamorro’s uncle, Pedro Joa- quin, received 40,250. His firm received 2,939,679; various other members of the Chamorro clan helped themselves to $18,570. This makes a total for the Chamorro family of 6. 162,105. This money was paid out for military services and for war claims.“ The Didz Cabinet Ministers received altogether 670,660. Fernando Solorzano, the Knox-made vice-president, received 300,000. The Benard family, one of the most prominent conservative families, received 1,755,422. Martin Benard re- ceived most of this eventually. All of this money was taken from the national treasury while Secretary Knox was virtual Czar of the country. It was the first financing done under the benevolent Dawson pact. Americans Remembered, But the new government remembered also those Americans who had given them active assistance in their fight to overthrow the old government. Here are a few payments made to Americans: A. Burgheim, a son-in-law of the pres- ent Minister of Foreign Affairs, received 46,771 pesos; J. H. Cohn, partner of 8. Weil & Co., received 600,000 pesos. Samuel Veil received 360,000 pesos. cardo Sussman got 317,088; ex-President Cardenas took 15,100. He had man- aged the counterfeiting operations dur- ing the revolution, it was alleged. Juan Estrada, the first president put in by Secretary Knox, was little. more than. a figurehead. Estrada got no money in his own name, but his wife, on March 9, 1911, helped herself to 104,- 000 pesos. The military officers who commanded troops in the revolution received vary- ing sums in payment for their services. The biggest amount pald to a single General was 97,000 pesos paid to Gen. Monterey. Col. Camille Barberena received 317,510 pesos. The large amount paid Col. Bar- berena may be explained by the follow- ing order from Gen. Chamerre and which he carried out promptly: “Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Managua, 27th of Sept., 1912, Col. Camille Barberena’s encampment. “e * * That they take the strictest precautions to capture Gen. Zeledon and the other chiefs who accompany him, putting them to death immediately, with the exception of those you deem con- venient. CHAMERRO.” „ Staughter of Soldiers. This order was issued immediately after the American marines had driven the forces of Gen. Zeledon from their position at Masaya. While the Ameri- cans were storming Zeleedon's position the Diaz troops stood by and looked on, but when the revolutionists were driven from their position the Federals pursued and slaughtered many of the soldiers. Zeleden was butchered and his body chopped into pieces, in line with the erder of Gen. Chamorro. This is the same Gen. Chamorro who is now Nicaraguan Minister to Wash- ington and from whom Secretary Bryan has received most of his advice con- cerning the necessity for immediate ac- tion on the treaty.* He is the same Chamorro whose orders on Aug. 13, 1912, to the commandant of prison at Man- agua read: “We authorize the ‘execution of polit- fecal prisoners under your charge. In | J eonsequence and in view of the grave | | situation toward which events are lead- ing, we reiterate our orders, warning you that immediately the forces of Gen. Zeledon make an effective entrance into the town and on previous notice from this command, you will comply with the said orders.

High Interest Charged. The high rates of interest on loans, the exorbitant fees charged for all bank- ing facilities and the gross charges im- posed upon every Government contract tell another chapter of the depletion of the national finances. One of the greatest drains on the an- nual income of the country is traceable directly to the American State Depart- ment. Although the net national reve- nues had been decreased greatly during the late period of turbuence the Amer- ican State Department saddled upon the Government expenses of approximately $100,000 per annum in the payment of salaries to officials. The international claims commission created by Secretary Knox to pass upon all foreign claims which arose as a re- sult of the Estrada and Mena revolu- tions cost the people of Niciragua 38, 000 a year. There are three Judges, two of them American. Their total anlgricn are $32,000. This court rarely meets. It has done nothing to straighten out the major claims that have arisen as a result of these revolutions. It can do nothing be- cause even though it attempts to ad- judicate these claims there is no money in the treasury with which to pay them. Nevertheless, the Judges pull down their salaries and the farce is contin- ued by Secretary Bryan. In addition to the salaries of the Judges, other em- ployes are paid $16,000 per annum.

The American manager of the bank receives $10,000 a year. There are sev- eral assistants who receive $4000 a year. The manager of the railroad, which is now an American property, is paid by the Nicaraguan people. This drain has gone on steadily under Bryan succeeds in getting the Senate to adopt the treaty these salaries will be permanent fixed charges against the little republic. The Americans receive as much as it costs the Government to maintain its principal executive officers. . Where did all this money come from? Frankly much of it came from the ever- running printing press. Records of the bureau of the Nica- ragua Ministry of Finance are cited by the World to show an annual surplus of 1,000,000 pesos for 50 years preceding Sec- retary Knox’s activities. The foreign debt immediately before Mr. Knox inter- posed was only 6,250,000 pesos repre- sented. by the Ethelberga syndicate’s bonds. Local debts were 56,000,000 pesos, on bonds and 7,500,000 pesos current lia- bilities. There was 37,000,000 pesos, fiat money afloat. When Juan Estrada was boosted into the presidency in August, 1910, by Knox, he found in the national treasury 8,000,000 pesos and more than $400,000 due from the Ethelberga syndicate. A Little Graft.

They issued,, without his knowledge, presumably, this addi- tional 13,000,000. Even before the revolutionists went into office they had turned out a little counterfeit money and after the Estrada party was in office Government agents were arrested in Chicago for counter- feiting their own national money. They were released at the request of Estrada. Adolfo Diaz was then Minister of Finance. A little later-he was raised to the presidency. The Government au- thorized an issue of 15,000,000 pesos for the purpose of taking up this counter- feit money. Up to this period the Estrada Gov- ernment had issued more than 40,000,000 pesos, which were guaranteed by the Government. In the meantime the na- tional revenues had picked up again and the Government was in receipt of approximately the same abount of rev- enues as Zalaya had during his last years in office. Besides this fiat money which was turned out on the Government printing presses, approximately 45,000,000 pesos were borrowed from the American bank- ers. All this makes a total of almost 100,000,000 pesos that have been avail- able for the uses of the present Gov- ernment in addition to the regular revenues. Loan Authorized. As soon as the Estrada-Diaz clique was put into office by Secretary Knox the national assembly authorized a loan of $15,000,000 to be made with American bankers through “the good offices of | the American State Department.“ The first contract was drawn up with Brown Brothers and J. Seligman on May 2, 1911. Louis Mena, one of the revolutionary leaders, opposed this loan on the ground that it was the first step toward pawning the entire country. He caused its defeat, whereupon the American State Department forced the dissolution of the Legislature and the selection of a new one. This new Leg- islature took Mena into camp by elec- ing him president and then he ordered the ratification of the loan. Secretary of State Knox was in such a hurry to get Nicaragua under Wall street domination that he advised the bankers to go right ahead and lend a portion o. the money before the United States Senate had acted on the treaty guaranteeing the loan. They advanced $1,750,000, and Knox immediately put an customs house. The Senate refused to ratify the loan, and the bankers looked to Knox to carry out the agreement which he had made with them. He instructed Ham to take out of the customs house 50 per cent of the total revenues and pay same to the bankerg. Money Disappeared. As soon as this money was paid to the Nicaragua treasury it disappeared. Shortly thereafter the Assembly de- manded more money from the bankers The bankers refused without additional collateral. Then the most valuable thing owned by the Government, the National Rallroad, which had cost ap- proximately $5,000,000, was pledged. The bankers loaned $500,000, with 51 per cent of the stock of the railway as security. with the other 49 per cent of the rail- way stock as security. When the country wanted more money these two loans were wiped off the ‘bankers’ books and they took in pay- ment the original 51 per cent of the railway stock leaving the other 49 per cent unincumbered. On Oct. 9, 1913, when more money was needed, the bankers loaned for one year an additional $1,000,000, taking as security the unincumbered 49 per cent of the National Railroad and the Gov- ernment’s interest in the National Bank. For good measure the Government threw in a valuable oil concession in the vicinity of Corinto, and a mass of railroad material. The Government got only $650,000 of this money, because $350,000 was kept by the bankers as a basis for a redemption fund of the national, currency. Bankers in Full Control, At the same time absolute control of the bank and the railroad were turned over to the bankers. The State Depart- ment then installed a manager to han- dle the properties in the interest of the American bankers. The manager was to be paid, not by the State Department or the bankers, but by the railroads and the banks. In other words, while the properties were being taken by the American in- terests with assistance of Secretary Knox, the people of Nicaragua were compelled to pay the manager. ' In view of this tremendous increase in the national debt, ‘and the fact that everything of value had been pawned to the bankers at loan shark rates, the country is now in a state of bankruptcy. The little gang of Knox-made officials at Manahua is asking the United States to advance $3,000,000 in payment for the last thing of questionable value which they control, and in addition they have offered to throw in the nation’s sov- ereignty for good measure. With this debt weighing down the people, and with little prospect of pay- ing any of it under a continuation of the present system, Secretary Bryan is now seeking to get the Senate to ratify a treaty which will give them $3,000,000. Tomorrow the Post-Dispatch will present another chapter of conditions under which the Bryan treaty is proposed. SUMMER BARGAIN he on Diamonds and Watches.

A nuthber of inquiries about blind children un- school age, received from-out-of-town readers, 2 “me to ask for the privilege of answering your columns, hoping thereby to reach “pveryone having or knowing of a blind child.

The only well-conducted homes, including home, hospital. and kindergarten, making a speciality of n. are those conducted by the Inter- Bunshine Society. The first Missouri blind child was reported from Kansas | in 1911, and is a Sunshine charge in the Arthur Blind Babies’ Home. The St. Louis deat-dumb-blind boy, alos a Sunshine charge from time he was taken from the city hospital, July, 1912. These children are responding most en- -couragingly to the sunshine treatment.

Fitzsimmons, chairman of the Democratic City Committee and member of the Twelfth District Democratic Committee, tried to keep him out of the ‘congressional’ contest, be- 780 de cause the nomination had been promised“ to John P. Collins agd the committee was un- der obligations to Mr. Collins to give him the nomination. Mr. Fitzsimmons denies that he told Mr. Meri- wether that the nomination had been promised to Mr. Collins. On the other hand, Mr. Fitz- simmons, who admits he is supporting Mr. Col- Uns, accuses the Election Board of playing cheap politics in favor of Mr. Meriwether by refusing ty appoint the committee’s list of judges and clerks of election. Those who are familiar with the election record in the Twelfth District will not agree with Mr. Fitzsimmons that the Election Board is playing cheap politics by refusing to name the commit- tee's selections for judges and clerks; they will say they are playing fair politics. Primaries and elections have long been farces in the Twelfth. Fraud has been proven time and again. Six out of the seven members of the Demo- cratic Committee are for John P. Collins. He controls the committee. Mr. Fitzsimmons may not know it, but every one else who knows any- thing about conditions in the Twelfth knows that Collins is slated for the nomination and the committee expected to put him over. His friends have boasted that Collins had the nomination “gewed up.” Every voter in the Twelfth District is inter- ested in breaking up committee rule there and in assuring fair primaries and elections controlled by the voters. The Democrats are profoundly in- terested in wiping out the disgrace of corrupt and fraudulent bossism in the Twelfth. The people are interested in the restoration of popular con- trol of primaries and the sending of representa- tive men to Congress. Mr. Fitzsimmons promises a fair deal for Mr. Meriwether. That is all that any candidate can ask. That is all to which he is entitled. We shall see that he gets it if there is any virtue in pub- licity and public opinion. _=_ ae oe POOR LO IN PRACTICAL POLITICS.

The State Public Service Commission’s assump- tion of power to fix rates and conditions of service for St. Louis’ municipally-owned water works is au invasion of local self-government which city officials should oppose and defeat, if possible. Nevertheless, the changes ordered by the State commission are in line with common sense and sound business practice. The city should own all water meters. It should meter all water sold. IT SHOULD SELL WATER TO ALL BUYERS AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE RATE. Like every other pubiic utility, whether privately or publicly owned, the city’s water department should pay 6 per cent interest on all deposits which it requires consumers to make precedent to getting its service. A MUNICIPAL PLANT SHOULD NOT BE EXEMPTED FROM ANY RULE OF FAIR TRADING IMPOSED UPON A UTILITY PRIVATELY OWNED. If these rules should be adopted by the city Water Department the saving of millions of gal- lons of water now daily wasted by reckless users who buy it at a flat rate, or by reason of de- fective plumbing, would far more than make good any extra expense involved in making the pro- posed changes. If Southwestern cities, pumping water fron? deep artesian wells, can profitably sell it to all comers at a flat rate of 15 cents pe 1000 gallons— and it is done—St. Louis, with an inexhaustible water sup, ly flowing past its door, should be able to do at well or better.

Some people have said to us, ‘Why do you not get a typesetting machine? It would do your work much easier.“ In answer to this we will state that we could have bought a typesetting machine many years ago, and could have one now if we thought best, but it would cause the discharge of three em- ployes in our office, and, although it may seem foolish and sentimental to keep these people at work rather than have a machine take their place, it is our way, these three people help to build up Jerseyvilie and keep up our merchants, beacuse all of them buy nothing outside of this city, where- as a machine neither eats nor drinks and is no benefit whatever to a community. Our dea of building up a city has been to give people work, and that is why we have invest- ed more than $1000 as free gifts te institutions calculated to build up the city, because they give employment to those who wish it. We confess that sometimes when we note how little the city administration and business men generally appreciate these facts, we feel disposed te cut lose and do nothing for anybody, but we believe we feel happier and more contented to do the way we are doing, and life is but a pas. anyway.— Jerseyville (III.)

However careful- ly they are told that a small model of a cow is only one-fortieth the size of the real animal, more often than not they are unable to think of the animal as being any larger than the model, and will stoop and describe scmething about the size of a kitten when asked to indicate the size of a cow. This arises from the fact that no standard of size, form and texture —beyond those which they set up through handling—can exist for those who have never had the uge of their eyes. Even those who have had sight are found to lose their standards un- less they are renewed from time to time by actual contact. An instance of this was noticed not long ago, when a boy of about 12 recovered his sight after an operation, and for several days following went about in a state of surprise and fear, for almost everything which he had not been in the habit of touching fre- quently differed considerably in size from his recollections of seven years before! The size of his parents alarmed him very much, as he imag- ined they were much smaller. We guess they will succeed. Nobody is so well qualified to practice practical politics as the Amer- ican Indian, as the experience of our cities amply proves. Perhaps the most efficient are the Ameri- can Indians of Irish descent, though the German and Italian braves are eminently distinguished..

These famil- jars furnish us an idea of what real ward politics op the plains will be like when the Indians take ‘a hand, and the picture that rises in our imagina- tion somehow resembles Custer’s Last Battle. == M tt i SLOW TO LEARN.

Every day now the esteemed London Daily Ex- press publishes on its front page the complete results of our American baseball games, includ- ing those of the Federal League. We cannot suppose that this is done solely for the edification of American tourists. The truth is that genuine Anglo-Saxon sporting blood is not proof against the appeal of a great game, which, once seen, could not be forgotten. = = wr A PAUSE FOR BREATH. It is well occasionally to pause and look back over the road we have traveled.

Read this clipping from Thurs- day’s Post-Dispatch: The Sheriff said he knew Kilcullin played poker, but that he “didn’t mind a little poker playing.” It was different, he said, when he observed that Kilcullin was a daily reader of a paper devoted to horse racing. He then suspected that Kilcullin was gambling to an extent not justified by his $200 a month salary.

George Zipf has the funniest barometer we ever heard of. It consists of a little house with two doors and two windows. There is a thermometer that stands up in the center, jto the lower end of which a small wire is attached, that down under the porch. In the house is a woman and a man and when it is going to rain the man comes out on the porch and stands there until conditions change. When it is going to be fair the woman comes out. You can put them back but they won't stay unless the weather changes. When the weather is going to change the man and the woman will stand in the door together. They have never failed. When the man comes out it will rain in 46 hours, but when the woman comes out it will be warm and dry. She was out about all last summer.—Queen City Transcript. bes 7 “ital pes ‘= TF. 2 ae ~ — 4 ST. LOUIS SMOKE, From the Toledo Blade. St. Louis was a smoky city before cities on the south shore of Lake Erie began to realize that they were des- tined to become industrial centers and therefore the expected prey of soot and grime. Whether the coal burned there was just naturally a smoke maker, or whether the winds were a lazy kind and ‘did not do their duty, we de not know. But we have seen St. Louis when the stranger might have wondered it the abode of the Prince of Darkness was less afry and cheerful. But St. Louis is a smokeless town: now. The Women’s Organization for Smoke Abatement has caused its atmos- phere to be laundered and purified. This organization hired inspectors to make note of smoking chimneys and to remind the owners thereof that they were breaking the law. It took photographs of the worst offenders and brought the blush of shame to cneeks of factory proprietors. It took its evidenee into court and obtained convictions. The campaign lasted for five years, but it was worth while. It has made St. Louis a clean and fair city and its air a de- cent thing for human beings to draw into their lungs. If St. Louls can undergo such a tranp- formation, making other cities smoke- less is not an impossibility. The thing needed is simply law enforcement. you um ment ot = — i le WHY KANSAS OITY DID IT.

Up- uft and Suffrage Women's Clubs py Mrs. Berthulia Beezwacks, who had ‘ed the United High Rents for Apart- ments faction and the Tired Business Women elements, Mrs. Marmaduke Stalxer had, she thought, effected a coup by securing the presence of the Princess at the tea and reception of the seceding “The Grande Dames of Amer- ica.’ The social surrender of Mrs. Jarr, 4 presaged for Mrs. Stalker, in the lat- ter's opinion, a complete rehabilitation. “And you must bring Mrs. Beezwacks. too, and also your dear friend that very charming if crass person—Mrs. Mud- head Schmitt,“ Mrs. Stalker gurgled acidly. “Mrs. Mudridge-Smith,““ cooed Mrs. Jarr spitefully in return. “But, of course you would nct know of the noted Mudridge-Smith—living, as you do, in that dear Arkansas, it is Arkansas, isn’t it?“ Mrs. Stalker was too angry to trust herself to speak, so she only smiled with intense dislike at Mrs. Jarr and hurried off. Meanwhile Mr. Jarr and the recreant Harold Dogstory, the Princess Garagan- tua’s press agent, were at the depot waiting for the 4 p. m. train bound for the great city. “Bill Barker, the Princess’ manager, stanch supporter of Mrs. Beezwacks, will take her to the tea fight,’’ explained Mr. Dogstory. Barker got hep to my getting the advance money and copped his bit, so I only have $20, which I wil! split with your, 50-50.“ f Have any of you gentlemen got $20?” interrupted a plaintive voice, and Mr. Jarr turned to behold the tyrant of his business day, his boss, a fugitive like themselves. “I left all my money with the clerk for my wife, forgetting to take some of it, and now, as it is near train time, it will not be safe ¢o go back to the hé- tel, added the old man. But Mr. Jarr knew the train itself was safety first for his boss and eke the husband and bill payer for Clara Mud- ridge-Smith. At that very moment at the hotel, a mile away, William Barker, known In the show business as “Gasolene Bill, arrayed, though it was 4 p. m., in a Louie de Guttenburg dress ‘suit, was announcing “The Princess of Garagan- tua! and through the doorway ad- vanced the fattest lady in the obese bus- iness. “This lady that you see before you, Mr. Barker continued, but his ‘‘sofel’’ was drowned in a perfect storm of tit- tering led b: Mrs. Jarr and Clara Mul- dridge-Smith and then as these two ladies, led by the majestic Mrs. Ber- thulia Beezwacks, arose and walked our, the whole body of women present rose and followed them—fleeing from the dis- comfited Mrs. Stalker and the Princess and also the garrulous Mr. Barker, as though from bill collectors, the styles of last year or any other dreadful thing of the sort! comfortably in, the smoking compartment, anyway, we'll! be back to town before very long. The trip was all’ very well in its way, but business igs business. J wonder if I made & mistake to give up my cakes regular, doing press work for the Princess of Garagantua?’’ mused Harold Dogstory. “I was twenty bucks to the good, but you minched me out of fifty per cent, and then he minched us both of fifty per cent.” “I just been thinking.“ the peerless press agent continued, not heeding Mr. Jarr’s remark. I put over a story all the local papers will fall for, in running in a fat lady on a woman's club tea, simply when the main squeeze dame sees, by my advance press work, that my attraction is the Princess of Gara- gantua, and thinks it’s a real title, in- stead of billing of class, and all I/got of what I got is five dollars and a permit to look for work. Who's grand- pa, vonder?“ “Hush!” whispered Mr. Jarr. That's Mr. Jabez Smith, my boss, a merchant prince and the wealthy husband of tha: dashing matron of the younger set, Mrs. Clara Mudridge-Smith.”’ „He's a good coin getter,’’ replied Mr. Dogstory admiringly. I sure do love the way he split up my money. You got fifty per cent of my twenty dollars first, and then the old. guy hones in on the play and gets fifty per cent of yours and fifty per cent of mine. 8 out of my original bank- roll I got five bucks and you've got five bucks and he's got ten bucks.

Don't you think he could be induced to back a new feature film company? It will be too long to wait till the theatrical sea- son begins. If I can touch him good and plenty or get him to back a feature film company and start right on salary that will make his bank roll look like sweitzer cheese, I'll have to join the striking actors.“ “This is a poor time to strike, espe- cially for actors,’ ’remarked Mr. Jarr. “It's a good time, there's no work going now, anyway,” said.
