Dr. Carman and His Wife’s Niece in a Happy Mood, Despite Shadow of Tragedy | Huerta, at Puerto, Says He'll Go to Europe to Stay Until My Country Needs My Sword.” MONTEREY, Mex., July 17 (via Laredo, Tex., July 18)— Seven thousand Constitutionalist troops were ordered today to march toward Mexico City to be ready to preserve order there in case of an outbreak. The troops ordered to march toward the capital are under com- mand of Gen. Jesus Carranza, brother of the first chief, who has been operating in the neighborhood of Pachuca, only a few hours’ ride from the capital. Constitutionalist officials say they have 37,- 000 to 38,000 troops within twenty-four hours’ ride by rail of the capital. There is a feeling here among high Constitutionalist officials that Carbajal now occupies a position similar to that held by Antonio Carriera who was left to keep order when Santa Ana left Mex- ico. They feel that Carbajal, in the game way in which he accepted Huerta’s seizure of the government when he was a member of the Supreme Court, will accept the present situation and turn over the reins of government without condition. HUERTA TO SAIL ON GERMAN CRUISER Declares He’ll Go to Europe to Stay Until Mexico Needs His Sword. PUERTO MEXICO, July 183—Gen. Vic- tcriano Huerta, former dictator of Mex- ico, who arrived here last night at 9 o clock in his flight from the capital, announced today that he would depart from this port on board the German cruiser Dresden, Gen. Blanduét alone accompanying him, It is understood the Dresden will pro- ceed to Jamaica, where Huerta proba- Lily will sail for Europe as he announced earlier in the day, in telling of his ng that looked very plans for the future, that he would go ll in going. to Europe, where he would remain until © j “my country needs my sword sufficiently to call upon me.” None of the 20 officers and their families who are in flight with Huerta, will be accommodated on board the British cruiser Bristol, which had been tO utilized as a refuge by many of the 1 fugitives here. — 1 Owing to their unsuccessful efforts to i charter the City of Mexico for the voy- age to Jamaica and their unwilling- ness to accept the Mexican gunboat Bravo, about 40 of the fugitives, mostly women, will proceed on the City of Mexico as ordinary passengers to Gal- veston by way of Vera Cruz. Mexican Gunboat Offered. It is probable the gunboat Bravo may eventually be used to carry still others of the fugitives away from Mexico. A message was sent late last night to the new Government asking for permis- sion to use the gunboat and an affirma- NEW YORK, July 18—Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, at liberty under $20,00) bail, and seated beside her husband in the reception room of their home in Freeport on the sofa where Mrs. Louise Pailey sat a short time before she was shot to death on June 30, talked to a group of newspaper correspondents: “When my trial is over, in Septem- ber or whenever it may be,” she said, “I shall have been proved guiltless of the charge against me and I expect to go on with my life right here, forget the cloud of sorrow I have passed through and be just as nappy as I ever was. “I am innocent. No one will ever be able to find a verdict against me, if 1 set a square deal. I was not jealous of my husband’s patient. I did not shoot her. I did not know her. My only fear for the future is that I may be ‘framed up’ by detectives.’’ Her statement, summed up, was a cry of “Unfair! Unfair!’’ It had the same tune that many defendants use when they protest They framed me!” Mrs. Carman granted the interview for the ciation, was ee and e wounded a few minutes befors noon today in McChesney’s office, room 106 in the office portion of Union Station by a man whose name is believed to be King, 8 switchman formerly employed by the company. in the alti forum on the courthouse steps, much used by .

EN. VILLA received word (3 last night in Juarez from Zacatecas that Gen. Pascual Orozco, leader of the Federal ir- regulars, had deserted the Huerta garrison in San Luis Potosi, taking with him his brigade of 4000 men. It was reported that Gen. Orozco fled into the mountains declaring that he would never submit to the Constitutionalists. Next to Huerta, Orozco probably is most hated by the Constitutionalists, as he was the first of Madero’s leaders to turn against him.

The stock of foodstuffs on board the sleep- ing cars had become exhausted and it was found necessary to bring meats to the train from a restaurant in the vi- cinity. Neither Senora Huerta nor Senora Blanquet had seen her husband up to 7 o’clock this morning, but plans were then being made for an interchange of calls before the departure of Gen. Huerta and his former Minister of War. “When I assumed the presidengy I said publicly that I would restore peace, cost what it might,” Huerta said in his interview. “I have paid, it has cost me the presidency. To restore peace has been my whole and sole am- bition; I hope it is coming.

There was not a cheer nor a handclap. Those at the train side, as if by agreement, treated the arrival of the ex-President as a most solemn incident. Gen. Huerta was sitting in the smok- ing room of the car when the train stopped. In front of him was Gen. Blan- quet. Both were in their shirt sleeves and without collars. The official dele- gation from the German cruiser, Capi Kohler and staff, climbed aboard the tram before Gen.

Both stopped, but as the mah turned to run out, young Den- nison picked up a lead paper weight and threw it at him. He thought it struck the man in the face, as says he say him put his hand to his face. Those who saw the man run out of the building, but who did not know, at that time, what he had done, said he dodged between two street cars on Mar- ket street and disappeared. McChesney stepped from his office when he heard the shots, and William E. McGarry, chief clerk, came in from another room. Anderson told McGarry that he recognized King as a man who had been making speeches on the Court- house steps. Anderson insisted in sitting in his chair until he was removed from the office. He thought at first that the wound had not been a serious one, and the pluck which he showed caused the others to thing it less serious than it was found on examination to be. ftelleved That He Lost Sulit. Some of the Terminal employes said they believed King had been a switch- man on the company’s payroll and that he had sued the company on a claim for some injury and had lost the suit. The courthouse steps on Broadway are regularly used in the summer months as a pulpit for all sorts of radical political doctrines. The police seldom pay atten- tion to the gatherings and even the most flery of the speeches are usually ignored by the authorities. The doc- trines of the L. W.

The Public Service engineers deducted from the company’s estimates $354,245 of lands and $229,977 of buildings owned by the company but not used in operation. The remainder of the difference be- tween the reports by the company and the engineers, amounting to more than half a million dollars, is nearly all con- tained in the estimateu cost of poles, underground conduits and labor. The present value of the plant as shown by the report of the company is $8,608,833. The total submitted by the engineers for the commission is $7,395,739. The difference is $1,213,094. In estimating the cost of underground conduits the company listed the cost of paving the streets as they are now. The engineers assessed the cost of pav- ing on the basis of the kind of paving in use when the conduits were con- structed. The difference is slightly less than $200,000.

Then she examined the entire bill and fcund that little squares of paper, blue- penciled to make them about the same shade as the bill, had been pasted on the four corners.

Huerta mopped the sweat from his face with a big bandana handkerchief and was assisted into his coat by Blan- quet. Putting on his collar, however, was too much of a task, and he went out into the aisle of the center car as he was to receive the German repre- sentative. He was dressed in the same suit of clothes he had worn in the streets of the capital, while tossed over in a corner seat was the flat brown hat that long has served to distinguish him. Gen. Blanquet was in uniform, as were all the other members of the staff, and presented startling difference between them and their chief. British Vice-Consul Gemmill also offi- cially called on Huerta and presented him a message, presumably an offer of refuge on the British cruiser Bristol. Huerta read it and expressed pleasure at the consideration being shown him. During the day Huerta spent some time at Orizaba receiving and sending messages. To President Carbajal he telegraphed: 1 desire that your Gov- ernment shall continue. If you should require my smal! services I assure you they are at your disposal.” He also sent messages to the Gov- ernors of several states notifying them of his resignation and requesting that they all support the new Government. Messages urging the same support or recognition for the new Government also were forwarded to the diplomatic repre- sentatives in Mexico City. Among the officers with Huerta are Col. Jose Del Gado, his private sec- retary, Generals Blanquet, Pardes, Figuera, Ouiroz, Fuentes; Colonels Jose C. Delgado, Fernando Gil, Gabriel Huerta, Lieutenant-Colonel Carlos Del Moral and Capt. Juan Uribe. Carbajal Ordered Evacuation of San Luis Potosi. WASHINGTON, July 18.—-To demon- strate that the new provisional govern- ment in Mexico wishes to restoré peace without further bloodshed, Francisco Carbajal, Huerta’s successor, ordered the Federal forces to evacuate San Luis Potosi, one of the largest cities in Central Mexico. Gen. Carranza, the Constitutionalist chief, has sent a commission to Celaya to meet the three commissioners sent from Mexico City by Carbajal, with authority to arrange for the transfer of authority to the Constitutionalists. These advices were received today at the Mexican embassy by Senator Jose Castellot, personal representative here of President Carbajal. Castellot said that since the Constitutionalist forces As sistant Attorney - General “Learns Big Concern Has All Competition Shut Off. KEEPS HOLD BY LOSSES Discriminates Against Rivals and Could Be Prosecuted Locally, Rutherford Says. Following an investigation of the 2 rér cent raise in ice rates to family consumers by the Polar Wave Co., which most other companies adopted later, Assistant Attorney-General W. T. Ruth- erford said Saturday that he had found that the Polar Wave could increase rates 100 per cent or more today witho fear of competition, by reason of its control of the visible supply of ice in St. Louis and vicinity. Rutherford said this control was not in violation of the State anti-trust law. in his opinion, as the law only aimed at agreements or conspiracies between rival com.anies to control trade and fix prices. He said there was no evi- dence that any agreement was sought or efitered into by officials of the Polat Wave Co. and other ice retailers prior to the rate raise announced Saturday, July 11, by the Polar Wave. How the Polar Wave monopolizes the fee supply of St. Louis and adjacent territory despite the fact that it man- mfactur2s only a fifth of the ice, pro- Auced, was learned by Rutherford from records shown him Friday by Polar Wave officials. It was learned that the Polar Wave has contracts for large L of ice made by the Anheuser- . Brewery, the Swift Packing Co. Fast St. Louis and other big ice — rers. Money * Control Supply. : In order to keep the surplus ice man- | fe by these plants off the mar- het and out of reach of formidable com- _ petitors, the Polar Wave is buying ice at a rate of $2.% per ton and at the "game time selling ice to retail dealers et . a ton. The “ice trust,” which has had a fine of $25,000 suspended by the Supreme Court on condition that it observe the law and abstain from prac- tices calculated to harass competitors, _ fs deliberately losing, money on the con- ’ tract ice which it acquires, by hauling, > gtoring and handling it and then selling it at the exact purchase price to those who are not large enough to effective competition. had arrived in front of San Luis Potosi and thére might be difficulties in ar- ranging a suspension of hostilities, it was deemed more convenient te give the city to the Constitutionalists without further conflict and manifest at the game time the willingness of the Car- bajal Government to arrange peace. Administration officials were in direct communication with Gen. Carranza, chief of the Constitutionalists, urging him to proclaim general amnesty for political offenders and to get in touch with Za- pata, the Southern rebel, whose forces frequently have appeared almost at the gatea of the capital, to bring him into harmony with the peace program which contemplates the quiet transfer of pow- er from Francisco Carbajal, Huerta’s successor, to the Constitutionalists. Through John K. Silliman,’ President Wilson's personal representative at Car- ranza’s headquarters, the Constitutional- ist leader has been urged to conduct his triumph in a temperate manner, to avoid excesses upon the entry of his army into Mexico City, to declare amnesty for the forces that fought the Northern armies and to récognize the rights of church orders and foreigners. Members of the revolutionary junta in Washington have expressed doubt whether Carranza would be willing to give guarantees for the life and property of men who turned against, Madero. Huerta Reported Bound for Nicara- gua to Start New Revolution, VERA CRUZ, July 18.—It is reported here from Constitutionalist sources that Gen. Huerta and a number of his high army officers intend to gather in Nica- ragua to seek Latin-American coalition with a view of forcing his restoration te power in Mexico. Villa Guarantees Protection te Amer- feans in Northern Mexice.. WASHINGTON, July 18.—Gen. Villa communicated with the State Depart- ment today, offering a guarantee for the protection of the lives and property of Americans and other foreignefs along the border in the states where he is in power. ‘ Villa’s message was reported by Con- sul Edwards from El Paso, who also telegraphed that reports mentioning the fall of Pajomos were believed to vb» untrue. Edwards has received word that only @ small band of some hundred rob- bers took part in the battle, that the Constitutionalists forces were not an- nihilated and that the city still is in their hands. : Rebels Receive Ovation as They Oc- cupy Guaymas.

The Polar Wave has contracted to buy two carloads daily from the Busch brew- ery, at a rate of $2. per ton and this independent supply is thus removed beyond the reach of the Merchants’ or Schroeter companies, which, Mertens Ice and Coal Co., in North St. Louis, are the only ones operating enough wagons o offer dangerous com- petition to the ice trust“ in the event they could obtain sufficient ice. Mer- tens manufactures his own supply of ice, as does the Merchants company. Rutherford said the State anti-trust laws, in his opinion. should provide against any set of circumstances that would enable a company or combination of seven companies like the Polar Wave to dominate the field to such an ex- tent that it could arbitrarily and with impunity put up the price of ice to any point it chose. He said the present law only forbade agreements between competing companies to accomplish this result, and the Supreme Court has al- a — “contract ice;” if it could be | bought by rivals of the Polar Wave lay, would enable them to compete th the Polar Wave by taking its mers at the old rates, Ruther- was informed by independents. ng unable to get more ice than is necessary to supply their regular cus- tomers, these competitors are forced 2 circumstances to continue selling the old rates to the limited number hey have on their books, or to in- : their rates to these limited omers and make greater profits. 8 Polar Wave Prices Followed. : Virtually every retail ice dealer in 2 city has increased his prices un- these conditions to the exact fixed by the Polar Wave, which ntrols the situation. Even little ers, operating but a single on, have issued printed slips stat- i that the “Ice Dealers of St. Louis ave agreed upon these new rates,” id have notified customers that they ust henceforth pay a minimum of © cents per 100 pounds, and a maxi- mum of 40 cents if they buy in 5- cent quantities. | Rutherford learned that the Polar ave fixes its prices to different es of consumers and for differ- 5 ‘pections of the city with apparent ' im@ifference to the presence of other @ompanies that might under natural conditions cut rates and take away * the trade of the ice tuust.“ I. C. Muckerman, general manager of the Polar Wave, told Rutherford that the company relied upon its “high-class service“ to retain cus- - tomers, even though other companies phould cut rates. Rutherford visited William B. Craft, vice-president of the Merchants Ice and Coal Co., largest rival of the Polar Wave. Can't Get Ice, Rival Says. When he inquired why Craft had 3 rates to meet the new ö schedule of the Polar Wave instead ef continuing the old rates and tak h over the trade of the bigger con- > gem Craft replied. “We Cannot get any more ice from ‘the manufacturers, and the Polar Wave Co. refuses to sell us a pound ot ice at dealers’ prices, although it els to every smaller concern that oe companies that consolidated under the name of the Polar Wave in 1903. Violating Anti-Discriminuation Act. Rutherford said the Polar Wave was violating the anti-discrimination act of 1918 in refusing to sell to the Merchants’ Co. at the rates published for all retail dealers, but that local authorities were the proper ones to institute legal pro- eeedings to enforce this law. ‘The Polar Wave informed Rutherford that its rates to dealers are as follows: Large contracts are made at the beginning of each ice season at a rate of $2.% per ton, delivered at any platform or storehouse of the company, in which it is stipulated that all ice beyond a fixed maximum for each month shall be paid for at the prevailing market rate to deal- ers. Regular customers at the platform, $2.33 1-8 per ton. Other dealers, $2.50 per ton. Rutherford was told by officials of the Merchants Co., which supplies a few dealers, that its rates to dealers are: Regular ton. Other dealers, $3 per ton. The $3 rate is a prohibitive price, and after the Merchants company has signed contracts with its regular cus- tomers at the beginning of the sea- son, at a rate forced by the minimum fixed by the Polar Wave to ita fa- consumers recall the . practices of the Polar Wave — framediately following its organization in 2 b which resulted in suppressing rival oy until the condition now pre- brought about.

Mrs. Cora Buhler, 27 years old, of Alton, III., fired two shots at her hus- band, both of which missed him, when he refused to promise to return to her and her child after a two-weeks’ sepa- ration caused by jealousy over a board- er. The shooting was at the Hamil Express Co. offices, 610 North Main street, St. Louis, at 9:30 a. m., Satur- day. Louis Buhlre, assisted by fellow em- ployes, disarmed his wife, and she is being held at the Carr Street Station on charges of disturbing the peace and discharging firearms. Mrs. Buhler made no attempt to arrange bond for her re- lease until her case is called on Mon- day. Buhler has stopped at 1411 Sarsfield place since he left his Alton home two weeks ago. Mrs. Buhler told the police there was no ground for his jealousy and that she had tried to 2 him to return.

ASKS CONGRESS TO: SEIZE COLORADO COAL MINES New York Meeting Headed by Collector Malone, W. D. Howells and Amos Pinchot. NEW YORK, July 18.—A resolution calling upon Congress to take posses- sion of the coal mines in the State of Colorado and have them operated by the Federal Government or leased for limited periods under restrictions which weculd protect both the miners and the public, was adopted last night at a meeting called by a group of citizens headed by Dudley Field Malone, Col- lector of the Port of New York: Wil- liam Dean howells and Amos Pinchot. The miners’ demands for an eight- hour day, against blacklisting, for recog- nition of the union, for the abolition of the scrip system of payment, having their own check weighmen at the coal tipples, and semi-monthly payment, all rest on statutes passed by the State of Colorado, Ames Pinchot said in his address. John W. Brown, organizer. of the United Mine Workers of America Mother“ Jones and Hugh Frayne, New York representative of the American Federation of Labor, were among the speakers. In a brief speech United States Sen- ator Martine of New Jersey said that he is in favor of Government control of the mines.

Before a crowd that filled a third of Columbus Square, Tenth and Carr streets, free motion pictures, under mu- nicipal auspices, were shown for the first time Friday night. The crowd oc- cupied 1000 chairs placed by the park management, but the greater portion grouped itself on all sides of the seated section. Many persons viewed the pic- tures from windows across the street on three sides of the square, Whole fami- lies were present. There were mothers with babies and children by troops. The smaller children were grouped im- mediately in front of the screen. Applause was frequent. Old Glory, often displayed, always “got a hand.“ Good plays in scenes reproduced from big league baseball games were enthusi- astically received. The players were cheered as they sped around the dia- mond. The crowd saw five reels of pictures, and few persons left the square until the last picture had been shown. The screen, 10x15 feet, was stretched upon a steel fraine located near the west central side of the square. A Jewish synagogue, a Catholic church, a public school, a public bath house and a police statidn, all located on the streets bounding the square, made up a group of institu- tions for the protection, the amuse- ment and the general uplift of the community. “Just see how orderly this crowd Is,“ remarked Park Commissioner Davis. That's what the pictures are for. They will furnish educational and amusement features in districts where they are greatly needed.” Columbus square is located in the section bounded by Franklin avenue.

The first prosecution for violation of the pure milk ordinance enacted last March, resulted in the issuance of eigh: Police Court informations Saturday by Assistant City Attorney Norman J. Sadler, at the instance of Health Com- missioner Starkloff. Samples gathered by Health Depart- ment inspectors since June 25 show that many dairies and milk wagon drivers are violating the ordinance by selling milk containing less than S per cent of non-fatty solids.

Summer Advertising Brings Big Re- turns to Manufacturers, According to the producers of Laxa- tive Bromo Quinine, they work while others sleep—that is, they advertise their laxative heavier in summer time, when other advertisers believe that the sea- son is not a propitious one for pub- licity. That summer time advertising is the best kind of advertising, the man- ufacturers of Laxative Bromo Quinine point to the fact that in the hot weather their advertising has increased their sales to 7,000,000 boxes of this compound, requiring 10 tons of quinine alone.

When bee culture pictures were being shown one woman was heard to remark: “I never saw a bee in my life. How big are they, about the size of a fly?’ Swarms of bees in various stages of the honey-making industry, from gathering pollen from the flowers to bottling the honey for market, were shown. Pictures of the New York Zoo were shown. Strange sea creatures were showh sporting about in the water. The animal pictures showed rare and nearly extinct types in great number, as well as types most common in capivity. The pictures included scenes in Italy, China, India and other foreign coun- tries. Then there were pictures of St. Louis and of current news events, such as the movement of the Atlantic fleet to Vera Cruz, an Easter parade in Fifth avenue, New York, and egg-roll- ing on the White House lawn. Health Pictures te Be Shown. The pictures will be shown nightly through the summer in various parts cf the city under the direct charge of Park Commissioner Davis. Commissioner Da- vis told a reporter he knew of no place except St. Louis where free motion pic- tures had been introduced under munici- pal management. The movement in St. Louis is an experiment and the Park Commissioner regarded the first even- ing’s entertainment as a success. Encouraged by the reception of the Columbus Square entertainment, the park management is planning additional pictures for the future, which will in- clude hints on the proper care of babies, the prevention of tuberculosis and how to fight the house fly. Occasionally a good comic picture will be thrown in to add variety. os | FIRE HORSE, 16 YEARS IN SERVICE, FALLS DEAD Alexander, 20 Years Old, Suc- cumbs as Return Trip From Blaze Is Started.

FALL OF 55 FEET KILLS BOY LEADER IN CONQUER’ GAME! Lad Slipped in Leap on Edge of Quarry and Injury Caused Meningitis. John Wilson, 12 years old, of 4834 Ken- nerly avenue, died at 5:30 a. m. Saturday from an attack of meningitis brought on by injuries to his head suffered when he fell 55 feet in an abandoned quarry Thursday while playing Conquer lead- er,” with half a dozen playmates. The boys were playing in a quarry in the rear of 4801 Ashland avenue, Wilson being the leader. They were jumping from stone to stone, on the ledge, when his foot slipped and he crashed to a ledge 55 feet below. When his compan- ions reached him he was unconscious and sank rapidly after being taken home. “Conquer leader” is a game which the boys play frequently in the neigh- borhood. One is chosen leader, and does supposedly hazardous feats, which the rest must do likewise. The leader is conquered when he names a certain feat to be done, and fails himself to accomplish it. The first one of the crowd who can do it is then made the new leader. Wilson was leading the following boys over the ledges of the quarry, which is a deep one, when he slipped and fell: Milton Trigg, 15 years old, 4737 Kennerly avenue; Walter and Francis. Hughes, 14 and 12 years old, respectively, of 4743 Kennerly avenue; and Leo Hennessy, 10 years old, of 4726 Kennerly avenue. At the foot of the quarry is a pond, but the lad’s fall was stopped by the ledge. Dr. Joseph Trigg, father of Milton Trigg, one of WHson's play- mates, treated the boy after he was taken home. The meningitis set in shortly afterward. MEDIATION IS ACCEPTED Enginemen and Roads Prepare for Federal Arbit .tion.

KEEPS HOLD BY LOSSES iscriminates Against Rivals and Could Be Prosecuted Locally, Rutherford Says. Following an investigation of the % rer cent raise in ice rates to family consumers by the Polar Wave Co., which most other companies adopted later, Assistant Attorney-General W. T. Ruth- erford said Saturday that he had found ‘hat the Polar Wave could increase rates 100 per cent or more today withot fear of competition, by reason of its control of the visible supply of ice in St. Louis and vicinity. _ Rutherford said this control was not in violation of the State anti-trust law. in his opinion, as the law only aimed at agreements or conspiracies between rival com.anies to control trade and fix prices. He said there was no evi- @ence that any agreement was sought or @iitered into by officials of the Polar Wave Co. and other ice retailers prior to the rate raise announced Seturday, fr, U. by the Polar Wave. How the Polar Wave monopolizes the a supply of St. Louis and adjacent territory despite the fact that it man- mfactur2s only a fifth of the ice, pro- @uced, was learned by Rutherford from records shown him Friday by Polar Wave officials. It was learned that the Polar Wave has contracts for large quantities of ice made by the Anheuser- Busch Brewery, the Swift Packing Co.

Huerta mopped the sweat from his face with a big bandana handkerehiet and was assisted into his coat by Blan- quet. Putting on his collar, however, was too much of a task, and he went out into the aisle of the center car as he was to receive the German repre- sentative. He was dressed in the same suit of clothes he had worn in the streets of the capital, while tossed over in a corner seat was the flat brown hat that long has served to distinguish him. Gen. Blanquet was in uniform, as were all the other members of the staff, and presented startling difference between them and their chief. British Vice-Consul Gemmill also offi- cially called on Huerta and presented him a message, presumably an offer of refuge on the British cruiser Bristol. Huerta read it and expressed pleasure at the consideration being shown him. During the day Huerta spent some time at Orizaba receiving and sending messages. To President Carbajal he telegraphed: ‘I desire that your Gov- ernment shall continue. If you should require my small services I assure you they are at your disposal.” He also sent messages to the Gov- ernors of several states notifying them of his resignation and requesting that they all support the new Government. Messages urging the same support or recognition for the new Government also were forwarded to the diplomatic repre- sentatives in Mexico City. Among the officers with Huerta are Col. Jose Del Gado, his private sec- retary, Generals Blanquet, Pardes, Figuera, Ouiroz, Fuentes; Colonels Jose C. Delgado, Fernando Gil, Gabriel Huerta, Lieutenant-Colonel Carlos Del Moral and Capt. Juan Uribe. Carbajal Ordered Evacuation of San Luis Potosi. WASHINGTON, July 18—To demon- strate that the new provisional govern- ment in Mexico wishes to restoré peace without further bloo@shed, Francisco Carbajal, Huerta’s successor, ordered the Federal forces to evacuate San Luis Potosi, one of the largest cities in Central Mexico. Gen. Carranza, the Constitutionalist chief, has sent a commission to Celaya to meet the three commissioners sent from Mexico City by Carbajal, with authority to arrange for the transfer of authority to the Constitutionalists. These advices were received today at the Mexican embassy by Senator Jose Castellot, personal representative here of President Carbajal. Castellot said that since the Constitutionalist forces — had arrived in front of San Luis Potosi and there might be difficulties in ar- ranging a suspension of hostilities, it Was deemed more convenient te give the city to the Constitutionalists without further conflict and manifest at the game time the willingness of the Car- bajal Government to arrange peace. Administration officials were in direct communication with Gen. Carranza, chief of the Constitutionalists, urging him to proclaim general amnesty for political offenders and to get in touch with Za- pata, the Southern rebel, whose forces frequently have appeared almost at the gatea of the capital, to bring him into harmony with the peace program which contemplates the quiet transfer of pow er from Francisco Carbajal, Huerta's successor, to the Constitutionalists. Through John K. Silliman,’ President Wilson's personal representative at Car- ranza’s headquarters, the Constitutional- ist leader has been urged to conduct his triumph in a temperate manner, to avoid excesses upon the entry of his army into Mexico City, to declare amnesty for the forces that fought the Northern armies, and to récognize the rights of church orders and foreigners. Members of the revolutionary junta in Washington have expressed doubt whether Carransa would be willing to give guarantees for the life and property of men who turned against Madero. Huerta Reported Bound for Nicara- gua to Start New Revolution. VERA CRUZ, July 18.—It is reported here from Constitutionalist sources that Gen. Huerta and a number of his high army officers intend to gather in Nica- ragua to seek Latin-American coalition with a view of forcing his restoration te power in Mexico. Villa Guarantees Protection to Amer- feans in Northern Mexico. WASHINGTON, July 18.—Gen. Villa communicated with the State Depart- ment today, offering a guarantee for the protection of the lives and property of Americans and other foreignefs along the border in the states where he ia in power. ‘ Villa's message was reported by Con- sul Edwards from El Paso, who also telegraphed that reports mentioning the fall of Pajomos were believed to 99 untrue. Edwards has received word that only a small band of some hundred rob- bers took part in the battle, that the Constitutionalists forces were not an- nihilated and that the city still is in their hands. 8 Rebels Receive Ovation as They Oc- cupy Guaymas.

He said the present law only forbade agreements between competing companies to accomplish this result, and the Supreme Court has al- ready fixed the punishment of the seven companies that consolidated under the name of the Polar Wave in 1908. Violating Anti-Discrimination Act. Rutherford said the Polar Wave was violating the anti-discrimination act of 1918 in refusing to sell to the Merchants’ Co. at the rates published for all retail dealers, but that local authorities were the proper ones to institute legal pro- eeedings to enforce this law. “The Polar Wave informed Rutherford i and Coal Co., largest rival of the/ that its rates to dealers are as follows: wear Wave.

Rutherford was told by officials of the Merchants Co., which supplies a few dealers, that its rates to dealers are: Regular ton. Other dealers, $3 per ton. The $3 rate is a prohibitive price, customers, $2.25 per tomers at the beginning of the sea- son, at a rate forced by the minimum fixed by the Polar Wave to its fa- surplus ice to sell other dealers. Ruth- erford was informed that the com- pany had no more ice today than was necessary to supply its own retail ‘customers and the dealers it sup- plies regularly.

Mrs. Cora Buhler, 27 years old, of Alton, III., fired two shots at her hus- band, both of which missed him, when he refused to promise to return to her and her child after a two-weeks' sepa- ration caused by jealousy over a board- er. The shooting was at the Hamil Express Co. offices, 610 North Main street, St. Louis, at 9:30 a. m., Satur- day. Louis Buhlre, assisted by fellow em- ployes, disarmed his wife, and she is being held at the Carr Street Station on charges of disturbing the peace and discharging firearms. Mrs. Buhler made no attempt to arrange bond for her re- lease until her case is called on Mon- day. Buhler has stopped at 1411 Sarsfield place since he left his Alton home two weeks ago. Mrs. Buhler told the police there was no ground for his jealousy and that she had tried to induce him to return.

ASKS CONGRESS TO SEIZE COLORADO COAL MINES New York Meeting Headed by Collector Malone, W. D. Howells and Amos Pinchot. NEW YORK, July 18.—A_ resolution calling upon Congress to take posses- sion of the coal mines in the State of Colorado and have them operated by the Federal Government or leased for limited periods under restrictions which weuld protect both the miners and the public, was adopted last night at a meeting called by a group of citizens headed by Dudley Field Malone, Col- lector of the Port of New York: Wil- liam Dean howells and Amos Pinchot. The miners’ demands for an eight- hour day, against blacklisting, for recog- nition of the union, for the abolition of the scrip system of payment, having their own check weighmen at the coal tipples, and semi-monthly payment, all rest on statutes passed by the State of Colorado, Amos Pinchot said in his address. John W. Brown, organlzer of the United Mine Workers of America Mother“ Jones and Hugh Frayne, New York representative of the American Federation of Labor, were among the speakers. In a brief speech United States Sen- ator Martine of New Jersey said that he is in favor of Government control of the mines.

Before a crowd that filled a third of Columbus Square, Tenth and Carr streets, free motion pictures, under mu- nicipal auspices, were shown for the first time Friday night. The crowd oc- cupied 1000 chairs placed by the park management, but the greater portion grouped itself on all sides of the seated section. Many persons viewed the pic- tures from windows across the street on three sides of the square, Whole fami- Hes were present. There were mothers with babies and children by troops. The smaller children were grouped im- miediately in front of the screen. Applause was frequent. Old Glory. often displayed, always got a hand.“ Good plays in scenes reproduced from big league baseball games were enthusi- astically received. The players were cheered as they sped around the dia- mond, The crowd saw five reels of pictures, and few persons left the square until the last picture had been shown. The screen, 10x15 feet, was stretched upon a steel frame located near the west central side of the square. A Jewish synagogue, a Catholic church, a public school, a publie bath house and a police statidn, all located on the streets bounding the square, made up a group of institu- tions for the protection, the amuse- ment and the general uplift of the community. “Just see how orderly this crowd is,” remarked Park Commissioner Davis. That's what the pictures are for. They will furnish educational and amusement features in districts where they are greatly needed.” Columbus square is located in the section bounded by Franklin avenue, O' Fallon, Fifteenth and Sixth streets, known as the Ghetto. Many persons of foreign birth live in the district. When bee culture pictures were being shown one woman was heard to remark: “I never saw a bee in my life. How big are they, about the size of a fly?’ Swarms of bees in various stages of the honey-making industry, from gathering pollen from the flowers to bottling the honey for market, were shown. Pictures of the New York Zoo were shown. Strange sea creatures were showh sporting about in the water. The animal pictures showed rare and nearly extinct types in great number, as well as types most common in capivity. The pictures included scenes in Italy, China, India and other foreign coun- tries. Then there were pictures of St. Louis and of current news events, such as the movement of the Atlantic fleet to Vera Cruz, an Easter parade in Fifth avenue, New York, and egg-roll- ing on the White House lawn. Health Pictures te Be Shown. The pictures will be shown nightly through the summer in various parts cf the city under the direct charge of Park Commissioner Davis. Commissioner Da- vis told a reporter he knew of no place except St. Louis where free motion pic- tures had been introduced under munici- pal management. The movement in St. Louis is an experiment and the Park Commissioner regarded the first even- ing’s entertainment as a success. Encouraged by the reception of the Columbus Square entertainment, the park management is planning additional pictures for the future, which will in- clude hints on the proper care of babies, the prevention of tuberculosis and how to fight the house fly. Occasionally a good comic picture will be thrown in to add variety. 8 DAIRIES ACCUSED OF VIOLATING NEW LAW Informations Allege Milk Con- tains Less Than 85 Per Cent of Non-Fatty Solids. The first prosecution for violation of the pure milk ordinance enacted last March, resulted in the issuance of eigh: Police Court informations Saturday by Assistant City Attorney Norman J. Sadler, at the instance of Health Com- missioner Starkloff. Samples gathered by Health Depart- ment inspectors since June 25 show that many dairies and milk wagon drivers are violating the ordinance by selling milk containing less than §5 per cent of non-fatty solids. The samples were analyzed by City Chemist Buckland and on his certificates the informations were issued against the following, to appear July 29, in the Dayton Street Police Court: The Swiss Model Dairy, Rosamond Dairy Co., 1301 Ohio avenue; Fred Ruef- fel, 3501 South Spring avenue; Herman Wensthoff, 4525 Carter avenue; William Klasing. 6339 Ouida avenue; Harry Schuler, Ferguson, St. Louis County.

Summer Advertising Brings Big Re- turns to Manufacturers, According to the producers of Laxa- tive Bromo Quinine, they work while others sleep—that is, they advertise their laxative heavier in summer time, when other advertisers believe that the sea- son is not a propitious one for pub- licity. That summer time advertising is the best kind of advertising, the man- ufacturers of Laxative Bromo Quinine point to the fact that in the hot weather their advertising has increased their sales to 7,000,000 boxes of this compound, requiring 10 tons of quinine alone.

John Wilson, 12 years old, of 4834 Ken- nerly avenue, died at 5:30 a. m. Saturday from an attack of meningitis brought on by injuries to his head suffered when he fell 55 feet in an abandoned quarry er,” with half a dozen playmates. The boys were playing in a quarry in the rear of 4801 Ashland avenue, Wilson being the leader. They were jumping from stone to stone, on the ledge, when his foot slipped and he crashed to a ledge 55 feet below. When his compan- ions reached him he was unconscious and sank rapidly after being taken home. “Conquer leader” is a game which the boys play frequently in the neigh borhood. One is chosen leader, and does supposedly hazardous feats, which the rest must do likewise. The leader is conquered when he names a certain feat to be done, and fails himself to accomplish it. The first one of the crowd who can do it is, then made the new leader. Wilson was leading the following boys over the ledges of the quarry, which is a deep one, when he slipped and fell: Milton Trigg, 15 years old. 4737 Kennerly avenue; Walter and Francis. Hughes, 14 and 12 years old, respectively, of 4743 Kennerly avenue; and Leo Hennessy, 10 years old, of 4726 Kennerly avenue. At the foot of the quarry is a pond, but the lad’s fall was stopped by the ledge. Dr. Joseph Trigg, father of Milton Trigg, one of WYison’s play- mates, treated the boy after he was taken home. The meningitis set in shortly afterward. MEDIATION IS ACCEPTED Enginemen and Roads Prepare for Federal Arbit. .tion.

As to the tramp hav- ing seen me out on the lawn, I repeat you will find the tramp was a detect- ive, too.” “It has seemed very strange, though, 5 Was Treated Unfairly Mrs. Carman, that you did not have sufficient curiosity, once you were downstairs, to go into the doctor’s of- fice and learn what had happened. Were you not curious? You went as far as the door, you say, and then turned back.“ Feared Anger of Husband. J was ill, and, more important, I did not want to bring my husband's anger down upon me. He ordered me to remain away from his office once after an experience we had there that I explained at the inquest.” Mrs. Carman meant the »>ccasion on which she caught Mrs. Elizabeth Ver- ance kissing her husband, when he was handling her money. „Was it the kiss on that occasion that made you angry?“ she was asked. For the first time she laughed. I reaily think it was rather the giv- ing of the money,” she replied. It was after this incident that Mrs. Carman installed the dictograph. “I realize now,” she said concerning the machine, “that it was the dicto- graph which brought all this sorrow and distress down upon me. If I had not been using it there would have been no possible reason for suspecting me. Prob- ably I was foolish to have used it. But x would like to explain why I did. “The newspapers have been unfair about the dictograph. They have paint- ed me as crazily jealous because I in- stalled it and listened to my husband talking with women. But I will tell you just how I happened to do so. “When Doctor and I went out among our friends the men of the gatherings often would rally him; they would say, ‘Oh, you have a pretty good time, Doc. — * iia dawg | man. bacco needs Zlin“.

Heard Nothing to Distress Her. „And I will say now that I didn’t hear anything over the machine that caused me any distress at all. My con- fidence in him was increased. Likewlse I will say that anything I did hear over the wire—anything any of his patients might have said—is perfectly safe with me. I would never repeat it for the world. I would like the public to be- lieve that I am not insanely jealous and never was.“ “Did you listen to Mrs. Bailey's versation with the doctor?“ “No, as I have said I was very il] that night. I have never heard of Mrs. Bailey and did not know who was in the office with my husband. I did not listen, nor did I go down stairs. I never saw Mrs. Bailey until I went over to Hempstead and looked at her dead body at my lawyer’s request.“ “But surely you must have some theory as to how the killing was done or why or by whom?” was suggested. “T have not. How could I have?” was the only reply Mrs. Carman would make to this. The doctor repeated his declaration that he had no idea whatever about the cause or means of the tragedy. Calls Prosecution Unfair. “District Attorney Smith was unfair,” Mrs. Carman said, in hiring detectives and in having the grand jury indict me. The newspapers were unfair in jumping to the conclusion that I was guilty and painting me as a guilty person before millions of people. The grand jury was unfair in refusing to let me tell my story. I have not had any sort of a square deal anywhere.“ The interview, which had developed nothing new as to her connection with the case, terminated about then, with an inquiry as to what she intended do- ing after her trial concluded in the fall.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, July 18.—Showing fidence in a return to good times, with a record year in prospect, independent sheet and tin plate manufacturers, prin- cipally of the Middle West, the West- ern Bar Iron Association and the big independent steel concern, the Republic Iron and Steel Co., have just completed signing scales for affiliated mills with the Amalgamated Association of Iron, steel and Tin Workers, which assures neace for another year between the in- dependents and their men. In the face of a period of depression, such as in the past has forced the Amalgamated Association to accept re- ductions, an increase of 25 cents—from $5.25 to $5.50—in the base for puddling has been granted and all other grades will be continued as they existed last year, “It is the best settlement we have ever made under conditions such as ex- isted this time,“ said President John Williams of the Amalgamated Associa- tion on his return from a trip through several gtates obtaining signatures to the new scales. Looks fOr Prosperity. Williams is a high protectionist and has appeared many times before com- mittees of Congress in tariff revision times, opposing reductions in the metal schedules. He opposed the reduction under the Underwood Dill. Do you look for a return of pros- perity?’’ was asked. That.“ Willlams answered, is what we based our fight on, for the increase in the puddling rate and to maintain the present scale in other directions, and the manufacturers, in granting what we asked, felt the same way about it—that a big year for their business was ahead.“ Thousands of men are affected by the settlement in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, IIlinois, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, as far southwest as Texas, east to Rhode Island and at Los Angeles. In former years, at scale settlement time, the slightest hint of a falling off in business has been the signal for a demand for a decrease in wages by the manufacturers. This demand was repeated this year at the preliminary conferences in Atlantic City, but later abandoned. When the scale year expired many plants closed automatically and the men were thrown into idleness, a3 is customary when no scales are signed Some of the Plants Affected. Settlement with the independent sheet and tin plate manufacturers means that smoke will pour out of the chimneys again at such plants as Follansbee Brothers, Follansbee, W. Va.; De For- est Sheet and Tin Plate Co., Niles, O.; Newport Rolling Mill Co., Newport, Ky.; Carnahan Tin Plate and Sheet Co., Canton, O.: Trumbull Steel Co., Warren, O.:; Youngstown Iron and Steel Co., Youngstown, O.: American Rolling Mill Co., Middletown, O.; Na- tional Enameling and Stamping Co., Granite City, III. Under the agreement with the West- ern Bar Iron Association with its B-cen: increase in the base for puddling, among the plants affected are: Inland Works, Republic Iron and Steel Co., East Chicago, Ind.; American Car and Foundry Co., Detroit; Empire Rollin, Mill Co., Cleveland; Fort Wayne Roll- ing Mill Co., Fort Wayne, Ind., High- land Iron and Steel Co., Terre’ Haute, Ind.; Interstate Iron and Steel Co., Zast Chicago, Ind.: Helmbacker Forge and Rolling Mill Co., St. Louis, Mo., and Madison, III.: Kansas Bolt and Nut Co., Kansas City, Mo.; Lake Erie coli- Tron Co., Cleveland, O.; National Roll- ing Mill Co., Vincennes, Ind.; Ohio Falls Iron Co., New Albany, Ind.; Rail- way Steel Spring Co., Detroit; Union Rolling Mill Co., Cleveland; Texas Roll- ing Mill Co., Fort Worth, Tex., and Lockhart Iron and Steel Co., McKee’s rocks, Pa. Plant in Granite City to Open Early in August. Orders were received Friday after- noon by G. W. Niedringhaus, superin- tendent of the National Enameling and Stamping Co. in Granite City, to pre- pare the plant for opening early in Au- gust—a month earlier than last year. Niedringhaus issued a bulletin stat- ing that the sheet and tin mills would open Monday, Aug. 3, and the open hearth department on Saturday, Aug. L At that time he said the scale would be the same as last year, except for the puddlers, and that he expected to re- celve word of an increase for them.

STEPMOTHER SAYS” THE NESSEL KIDS HAVE GOT 10 MOVE Household ‘Antics of Leona, Jesse and Irwin Get Them in Same Fix as Hans and Fritz. ö The Nessel kids—Leona, Jesse and Edwin, of 4417 ilcox avenue—are in the same fix as are Hans and Fritz, the Post-Dispatch Funnyside characters, whose household antics they have cop- ied with more hilarity than discretion. They have got to move. The landlord, in this case, is not a pompous old man with a cane. It is the kids’ stepmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Nessel, who owns the house, ard who has served notice on her husband, he says, that he must get out and take the kids with him. The husband, Jesse Nessel, believes that if the kids are disposed of, his wife will let him remain. So he is asking that they be committed to the In- dustrial School. Leona is 12 years old, Jesse 11 and Edwin 7. Pending some arrangements of this kind, the father and the kids are still occupying the house, while Mrs. Nes- sel has withdrawn, and is with rela- tives. The Nessel kids, according to them- selves, their father and the neigh- bors, have done most of the tricks of Hans and Fritz, and some others which never occurred to Rudolph Dirks’ sturdy little architects of mis- chief. Like Hans and Fritz in the last picture, they have been punished for their misdeeds, and like them, for more. they have persistently come back Did All These Things. They admit that they put ping in their stepmother’s bed, that they placed buck- ets of water over doors, where the water spilled on their stepmother, that they used their stepmother’s head as 2 target for their peashooters and that they varnished her rocking chair with molasses just before she sat down in it. Nessel and the neighbors say the kids also took electric light globes from the house and sold them to buy candy; that they pulled up neighbors’ rose bushes; that they punched holes in the ceiling; that they tore up each other's clothing in fights; that they broke open locked bureau drawers with a crow- bar; that they dug up the concrete side- walk and that they once set the house afire. The three kids were the only persons in the house when the Post-Dispatch reporter called Saturday. The house AS a home, it was just about down and out. Furniture was standing in the middle of the rooms, bed clothes were strewn on the floor and the wall paper was frayed about the edges, like last year's trousers. One of the kids said they had once been in the Industrial School and com- plained that their father whipped them, as it seemed to them, whether they were good or bad and that they thought they might as well have some fun between whippings. Kids Not Worrying. The three said as with one voice, that they did not care whether their step. mother came back omnot. The possi- bility that she might come back and put them out did not seem to worry them. They disliked the idea of going to the Industrial School, but they were not sufficiently alarmed to be repentant, or to promise any improvement in their behavior. Nessel has appealed to the police with- out result, and says he will now try the Juvenile Court. If it will not relieve him of the children, he hints that no one need be surprised if he abandons them. My back is all sore now from pins in the beds,” he remarked. to “fly high * Lois 1.

As a presidential candidate he fails to convince millions who believe in his virtuous intentions; as a diplomat he lacks discernment; as an editor he is too often ponderously dull and always platitudinous; as an orator, within his intellectual range, he has few if any equals; as a rough and ready fighter in national conventions his period has failed to produce his peer; as a farmer he is a joke. He is always interesting and very often right. ; He is right, both as to sound morality and as to political expediency, when he tells Nebraska why he means to vote for the constitutional amendment giving votes to the women of that State on equal terms with men. There is no longer any serious argument against votes for American women, when they want votes. Mr. Bryan makes an affirmative argu- ment, for those who do want votes, that is proof against every negative except masculine selfish- ness. And there will never be enough of that to withhold the ballot from the women of any American state, once they make it plain they de- sire this privilege. = ~~ = COsT OF THE SPOILS SYSTEM. The two-fold object of the new charter’s merit system is efficiency in municipal service and elimination of ward bosses. In the primary elec- tion campaign now in progress striking evils of machine politics are being held up to the people. Daily, nightly, sometimes hourly, meetings are held by the ward bosses to traffic in candidates. The ward boss, candidate himself for Constable or Justice of the Peace, eagerly and without scruple trades so much of the vote of his ward as he can control for judicial or other candidates to another ward boss for promises of votes for himself. Judicial candidates are thus dragged into the mire of ward politics. They are forced into hu- mlliating deals with ward committeemen to win renominations to which their record entitles them. The standard by which a judicial candidate is measured by the ward boss is: What has he done for the boys, or what will he do? How many times has he gotten up at midnight or later to accept bonds for burglars or pickpockets who were political workers for the committeemen? How many times has he been lenient to crooks for whom the bosses interceded? How many men has he paroled for them? Neither soundness of judicial decisions nor conscientious and diligent attention to duty count for anything with the ward bosses. If the Judge can show no record of favoritism to the “boys,” he must be defeated to make a place for some- one who will. City jobs are the keystone of the power of ward boeses. All city employes who owe their appoint- ments to ward committeemen are being forced, at this moment, to sacrifice their independence and manhood to support a slate of candidates made to order by the bosses. They are regarded as mere chattels, whose votes and influence are traded at the will of the committeemen. Much of the time for which the city pays them is de- voted to politics—for the city employes must be able to deliver a certain number of votes or give way to more successful political workers. The cost of the spoils system is enormous, in money and manhood. Rigid enforcement of mu- nicipal civil service will put an end to the tyranny and evils of ward bossism and restore to the people the power to select their own candi- how.

Religion in the present instance has no more to do with the affair in Ireland than it has in the matter of the oppo- sition of the American trust kings ro anti-trust legislation. In each case it is a fight to retain special privilege. We may well presume that it was the cur- tallment of some of Satan's prerogatives that caused his revolt in heaven. When persons have long lived in the enjoyment of a special privilege, even though this privilege is manifestly unjust to their fellow men, such is their unwillingness to give it up, they will not infrequently die in their efforts to retain it. Henry Grattan, Wolf Tone, Roben Emmett, Charles Stewart Parnell—Prot- estants all, undaunted advocates of Irish home rule and independence—did not fear Catholic domination; and here it may be remarked that they held no great business interests in Belfast or Londonderry. Since William III placed a ban upon all manufacture and commerce in the Southern provinces of Ireland, industry of all kinds except that of the simplest agricultural character has ceased to exist In that proscribed region. As En- glish parliamentary enactments crushed industry in the provinces of Leinster, Munster and Connaught, s0, too, these same enactments fostered and sustained trade and manufacture in Ulster. This monopoly of business Ulster fears that she will lose; for with an Irish Parliament it is reasonable to be- lieve that such legislative measures will be enacted as will produce a just and equitable distribution of the industry of the country; and Dublin, Cork and Lim- erick shall be as well known commer- clally as Belfast and Londonderry. Irishmen whose ancestors were dis- possessed of thelr homes may be re- minded of their wrongs by a perusal of the chronicles of many Protestant his- toriane. Mr. Froude tells us that after the second rebellion of the Geraldines, in Elizabeth’s time, from the farthest point of Kerry to the eastern plains of Tipperary you would not hear the whis- tle of a plowboy or see the face of a living man, but the trenches were filled with the corpses of the people and the country was reduced to a desolate wilderness. Sir Henry Sidney, one of Elizabeth's deputies, speaking of the condition of Ireland at the time, said: ‘‘Such horrible spectacles are to be seen as the burning of villages, the ruin of towns, the sight of the bones and the skulls of the dead, it is such that hardly any Christian can be told with a dry eye.” Catholic Ireland had its opportunity for retaliation centuries ago. When James II assembled his Catholic Parlia- ment in Ireland, in 1689, the first law passed by that Parliament was as fol- lows: We hereby declare that it is the law of this land of Ireland that neither now or ever again shall any man be persecuted for his religion.“ The Irish nature is not intensely vin- dicative. An Irishman will avenge an immediate wrong done to himself or his friend, but he is not given to the practice of nursing his wrath to keep it warm; and today in his efforts to recover his lost liberties he has with him thousands of mim whose ancestors fought under the Prince of Orange at the Boyne.

He was dis- satisfied there and says Hogwaliow is good enough for him. At a magic lantern show at Tickville Saturday night the curtain had to be hung up with ropes, as a picture of an elephant was shown. A new map has been bought for the Wild Onion schoolhouse. A hole was found in it, but the company wrote that it belonged there, as it represented the Mammoth Cave. Raz Barlow visited in the Calf Ribs neigh- borhood Saturday night. This is the first time he has been over there since the widow changed her mind the last timé, and had 4 new fence put around her husband's grave. Ellick Hellwanger has swopped a blind horse for an open face watch. Ellick is very proud of the deal and is taking his watch around with him wherever he goes, How- ever he will not start it to sunning probably before fall. Cricket Hicks was over to see the widow in the Calf Ribs neighborhood Thursday. Marriage is sometimes a bad trade ex- cept where you get a farm to boot. The Depity Constable was a visitor at the Dog Hill Church Sunday morning. He was looking for two or three violators of the law, but they eluded him by sitting up close and listening to the sermon. Fit Smith is on a trade for a rraphophone. The owner wants too much for it, and Fit says he may only rent @ voarrot, as bis wife will be at home again in a few weeks any- way. Cricket Hicks says Gander Creek is so dry the fish can’t travel without kicking up dust. Every country town seems to have an old blacksmith shop standing on some side street among the tall weeds.

The revelation that automobile thieves almost always sell stolen cars in small towns is enough to make suspicion at- tach to all automobiles in such places. People out in the provinces will have to band together against purchasing auto- mobiles from peddlers. That will at once stop the traffic in stolen cars and divert suspicion from those which have not been stolen. THE NEW DIXIE. It becomes necessary now and then for Just a Minute to restore to its orig- inal form and reclaim as its own “The New Dixie,“ a song which has by this time replaced the old. Dixie to a great extent. It follows: Away down South, wheah day all spit cotton, En de barroom’s gone, but not fo’got- Took away, took away, took away from Dixie land!

The hour for dissolving the Last Man’s Club had arrived. He listened reverently until the last lingering echo died out. Then he broke : the seal of the bottle. With trembling band he raised the glass to the taper- ing neck and inclined the bottle so that me crimson liquid bubbled out. He set ® the bottie on the table, held the glass wo to the light and looked at it. Then d glanced down the length of the table until his eyes rested on a vacant chair.

More than once he made feference to some joke that had been buried and forgotten in the dim past. The glass was emptied and filled again. The names were called out, incidents were delved into from the forgotten past as the old man conversed with the imag- inary pictures of the men whose mem- ory he was keeping alive. He stopped and strained his eyes. “Why—why, there's Joe. Poor old Joe. See, Joe, I'm toastin‘ your mem’ry. Your mem’ry, Joe. I'm the “And there’s Dick! Dick who was killed at Gettysburg.

Here's to you, Dick; here's to“ He stopped and began to sing a song in a low, cracked voice. It was a strange old song, one musty with the flavor of olden days, with queer rhym- ings and funny saying. The old man’s voice rose higher, his eyes sparkled brighter, his cheeks grew more flushed. Suddenly his voice became husky, rose to a screech, broke to a whisper and stopped. HE bottle was more emptied now, but still the old man kept at his solemn task. Now they were all toasted. . Thirty-eight times had he raised the glass in the air, times had ne sipped of the old wine to their mem- ory, 8 times had ho called their names one by one. Thirty- eight gleams of joy, 38 pangs of sorrow and it was all over. The Last Man’s Club was no more. A sense of sadness crept over him. He sat down in his chair wearily, and ut- tered a long-drawn sigh as his head dropped slowly on his bosom. Then the room grew dim and he closed his eyes. A wild chorus, a confusion of familiar sounds, and a few bars of an old song 38 Times He Lifted the Glass. in the light and looked around him. The song fell upon his ears like the melody of an old poem. It awakened a whole flood of emotion in the old man’s soul that held him spell-bound. He lis- tened again. The sound came swelling from all sides, flooding his mind with feminiscences which almost made him weep. It was their drinking song, sung with a full chorus before Death had be- gun to step in nearly 60 years ago. He looked down tue table and gave a sudden start. He looked again. Was he dreaming? He rubbed his eyes to make sure. ' Before him, seated around the board, were the 38 men whose memory he had just toasted. They were all singing—singing the same old song in the way he could never forget. It was like the voice of Yester- day reaching forth into the Present. He cleared his throat, took a long breath and joined wildly in with the chorus He sang the song through and stopped exhausted. He fought for his breath. gulped down a draught of wine and rested. Then he glanced down the line of men seated around the board, looked at his own place and stared. It was vacant! His chair was empty. It was the only unoccupied one around the board. He could not understand. He looked again. They were toasting him— The Last Man. Weakly, he staggered « over to the ta- ble. With palsied hand, he filled his giass as they did theirs, held it high in the air, and drank. The sides of the room slowly heaved before his eyes: the table became an indistinct streak of “white; the 38 guests blurred into two gray lines; then everything turned black. His glass fell from his hand and crashed against the chair. He reeled and swayed for a moment, extended both hands pleadingly towards the table, smiled, then fell heavily to the floor. They found him there the next morn- ing. The roll of the Last Man’s Club was complete. He had gone to join them. (Copyright: Short Story Pub.

Meriwether, St. LOUIS ww ww Marguerite Martyn In- terviews Famous 91-Year-Old Writer, Who, Virtually, Was Present at the Birth of the Suffrage Question, and Who for Several Genera- tions Has Been a Temperance Work- er. ws By Marguerite Martyn. N recording Mrs. Elizabeth Avery Meriwether as an author of six novels, ‘““‘Who’s Who in America” cannot begin to account for the remain- ing achievements of this St. Louisan covering a period of 91 full, active years. Indeed the task is enough to appal one. Twould mean digging up much of the history of the Civil War, the beginnings of equal suffrage and the progress of the temperance movements, with all of which stirring events Mrs. Meriwether has been associated. To read her books, The Master of Red Leaf,” The Ku-Klux Klan,” “My First and Last Love,” “Facts and False- hoods Concerning the War on the South, of 1861 and 1868.“ and “The Sowing of Swords,“ is to gain some impression of the views and sentiments that have crowded her keen mind for utterance. Many dramatic incidents of the war are vividly drawn upon for her stories and her convictions on the side of the Lost Cause“ are ever expressed with deep feeling and in vigorous language. Nor must it be presumed that Mrs. Meriwether belongs to a day that is done. Many of her contemporaries, among them Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, have gone to their reward. There remains, however, live issues to occupy Mrs. Meriwether and upon them she is working, writing and thinking right along with, and, some- times, a little ahead, of the present generation. Within the last month she has con- tributed two lengthy articles to news- papers, one on behalf of temperance, the other advocating equal suffrage. Daily She Works Upon Her “Memories of a Long Life.’’ ND always she is working upon A a volume which will be called Memories of a Long Life.“ Ver- ily, Fate seems to have selected Mrs. Meriwetler as a link between the past and present of a great period of transition and to have seen that Time dealt kindly with her faculties for a purpose. Perhaps you have met the spright- ly, talkative little woman with a piquant turn to many of her remarks, riding about with her son, Lee Meri- wether, or her daughter-in-law, her granddaughter, Mrs. Will Boogher, and her great-granddaughter. Knowing her age you have been called upon to marvel at the bright- ness of her eyes, guiltless of spec- tacles. Still more so at the rows of sound, even teeth, not one of which has ever known a dentist’s tampering. Visiting her in her home, you sus- pect the tender care and solicitude of a devoted daughter-in-law and son may be responsible for the remark- able example of preservation and longevity. A suite of several rooms is set aside for her exclusive use. One room is al- most like a laboratory or operating room, fitted with various sorts of baths, facilities for massage and medical treat- ments, and a personal maid is in con- stant attendance. Her Life Has Not Been One of Ease and Comfort ＋ T was father Minor “Meriwether who made all these arrange- ments and built the apartment with its many windows especially for her, long before he died,” Said Mrs. Lee Meriwether. “But I do not think it is to any extraordinary care that her good health is due. She professes te be a vegetarian and an ab- stainer from all stimulants, but occa- sionally she breaks her rules. And while sometimes she will remain in bd resting days at a time, at other times she will spend nights at a time sitting up, reading and writing. “She has had ease in her life, but she had had hardships, too. “Poverty during the war and many = — — — OM Dr. T.

I had found -her sad and serious, but this morning, as sizzi'ng hot as any we have had, she was chatty and brisk, optimistic of tongue, and breezy of man- ner, not to be pinned down to any serl- ous topic. A scarf was wound twice about the throat and she sat in a pad- ded arm chair. “Tt thrive upon this hot weather,“ she said. ‘“‘No, I don’t think it is because I was born farther south. I came of a cool-blooded race,’’ she said laughing. Fashion? She didn't think it was sillier today than at any other time. She Was Present When “Votes for Women” Was Born UFFRAGE? She was there at its S birth and like a mother who is always surprised at the sudden maturity of her offspring, she likewise places no limitations upon her child’s possibilities. “It won't be any time until all States in the Union are voting,’’ she. the said certainly she believed in this modern convenience, too, even while she twisted upon her finger the thinnest circlet of gold which had been a quarter of an inch wide when her husband placed it on her finger at their wedding, and told me how in the 57 years of their life together they never had had a quarrel. It was not due to me,“ said she, but to an exceptional husband. “Although we never heard of divorce in my day, that is no evidence that there were no unhappy marriages. Jam glad women nowadays are not afraid to go to court for an adjustment of their difficulties. It makes fer bet- ter men.“ One story characteristic of her mood, Mrs. Meriwether told, was of her gran4- father. Her people were Quakers and most pious. They said grace three times a day,” said she, until one day grandfather announced that he was bored with the monotony of it himself and knew the Lord must be, too. The hams, bacons and provisions were ready now for the winter's storing, so he called the whole family out to the smokehouse and said grace once and for all over everything for the year to come.’’ It was difficult to introduce a sub- ject she didn’t make light of this morn- ing and at last I departed, despairing of obtaining an interview serious enough to comport with the account of her in „Who's Who.“ Divorce?

Improve- ment after improvement was made, not only in the lecomotive, but in the rails, and in 1822 Stephenson opened the first railway, which was eight miles in length In 1829 his locomotive, the Rocket. reached a speed of 35 miles an hour, winning the prize of $2500 offered hy the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Co. The entire system of railway locomo- tion, with stations, signals tenders and carriages, was compieted with the in- auguration of the Liverpool.and Man- chester line in 1830.

Her mother saw tw from the window, and, leaving the bade tied in his chair, where she thought #@ would be safe for a few minutes, she hurried down the street to where Marg was standing. “Go right home,” she said, “the baby is alone. Mary did as her mother told her, but just before she reached the house she met a little girl who asked her to go to the store with her. Mary forgot all abeut the little brother and went with her. It was an hour be- fore they returned, and just as Mary came in sight of her home she saw smoke coming from one of the windows. Then she thought of her little brother, and with a cry of terror she ran into the house. HE curtains were on fire, and the books and papers near it were blazing. On the floor matches were strewn about, but the baby brother was nowhere to be seen. Mary called, but no one answered. By this time someone had sounded an alarm of fire, and the firemen were putting out the flames. Mary thought of the door in the kitch- en that opened to the cellar stairs, and she grew sick with dread, fearing the door might have been open and the A. Walker. baby had fallen down the stairs. * But he was not there. Then Mary no- ticed that the door of the bathroom was closed. She opened it, and there on the floor Was the baby. His face was black from the burnt matches and his dress scorched. He was standing by the bathtub watching the water run into the tub from the faucet, which he had turned. He he had escaped being burned no one will ever know He had unfastened the strap which held him in the chair and fallen to the floor, as a big bruise on his forehead showed. Then he must have crept to the table where his father kept his pipe and matches and pulled himself up and reached them. His dress had caught fire, but in some miraculous way it had been put out. The curtains were thought to have caught from the matches which the baby lighted and threw in that direction. Mary met her motker with a shamed look upon her face and tearful eyes, but they were all so thankful that the darling baby had been spared that Mary was not scolded. Her punishment, however, was severe, because it was a long time before she could forget the terrific fright she had when she saw the smoke and she never did forget that her carelessness almost cost her brother’s life. (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syn- dicate.) ANOTHER SANDMAN STORY WILL BE PUBLISHED MONDAY. — Facts About ULV 15, just passed, is St. Swith- J in’s Day. As a weather prophet the saint is a fraud. St. Swith- in’s Day, if thou dost rain For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin’s Day, if thou be fair For forty days ‘twill rain nae mair. So remarked our ancestors every July 15, which is the festival of St. Swithin, confesser, bishop and patron of Winchester, England. He lived in the ninth century. It has remained for the sapient and iconocalstic scientists of the present generation to ‘show up” St. Swithin as the impostor he is. Meteorological records prove conclusively that there is more poetry than truth in the an- cient verse about St. Swithin and the wéeather—and absolutely no truth! On the contrary, statistics show that in both America and England a wet St. Swithin’s Day is more likely to be followed by a drought than a deluge. It is only giving St. Swithin a square deal, however, to say that he never posed as a prognosticator of the weather and that this reputation was assigned to him after he was * To Discard Freckles, * * Tan, Pimples, Wrinkles.

In Scotland and generally throughout Europe it was believed that rain on the festival of the Translation of St. Martin, July 4, betokened wet weather for 20 days thereafter. In France St. Medard was the “weather saint,” probably because of the legend that on one occasion when the saint was caught in a heavy rain an eagle hov- ered over him and served the pur- pose of an umbrella. St. Gervais, St. Protais and St. Godelieve have their devoted following. Candlemas Day, the second of Febrwary, is also al- leged to be a prophetic period, but the groundhog, and not a saint, gets the credit.

I sent the check to Madame and re- ceived a note thanking me, saying she had credited it on my account, and trusting that as soon as I returned I would come in, as she had some new importations for the holidays. | That it was incongruous for the wife of a salaried clerk to receive in- vitations to view—and buy—imported — a great beauty and cost = creations of never entered my head.

The two teams struggled fierce- ly for A innings before Doyle's home run smash chased Bescher over the plate. The previous record in the Na- tional League was 2 innings, made in 1892 by Chicago and Cincinnati, and in 1905 by Chicago and Philadelphia. The game lasted 3 hours and 42 min- utes, yet not a spectator of the 3500 present left the grounds before the last man was out. The longest major League game on record was played Aug. 24, 1906, the Athletics beating Boston 4—1, in 24 in- nings. The longest game on record in any league was played May 31, 1909, Decatur beating Bloomington, 2—1, in 26 innings. | Rube Marquard and Babe Adams were the respective pitchers, and both went the .entire distance. Each seemed to grow stronger as inning followed inning and both were steady to the last. Adams did not give a base on balls, while Marquard issued but two began the game passes. e New York pitcher er wabbly. He hit the first batter up. enser, and allowed Wagner to wallop the ball to the center-field wall. The hit scored Menser, but not another run could the Pirates tally during the succeeding gruellin 20 innings. They got a man as far as thir¢ in the third. sixth and tenth innings, and that was the nearest they came to the plate after the first inning. : The ,Giants, in the third inning, tied the score. Bescher began with a single and reached third on a single by Doyle. Burns lifted a long fly to Joe Kelly and Bescher ran home unmolested, Kelly not attempting to throw to the plate. In the twenty-first the Giants crossed the late twice. AFTER TWO WERE OUT, escher sent the ball into left field for a single and, according to his usual practice, stole second. e play was close, but Bescher slid in safely. Doyle now sent the ball ski~ping into center field, where Joe Kelly settled himself ready to spring on it. But it shot past him and went to the wall. Doyle landed on the plate before the ba, 1 was returned to the diamond. The hit won the game.

BROWNS SECURE OM ALL FUTURE RAIDS BY “rEDS” Wallace and Youngsters Only Men Not Signed to Iron- Clad Documents. By Clarence F. Lloyd, Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. NEW YORK, July 18.—Practically every member of the Browns is safe from the clutches of the Federal League, should the “outlaws” make an effort to seize big league ball players, now that they have a de- cision declaring the 10 days’ clause invalid. When President Hedges and Manager Rickey of the Browns read 18 et the verdict in favor of the Fed- erals, they were not disturbed. Bek Wallace and a youngster or two are the only members of the Rickey- ites net signed with contracts with the 10 days’ clause stricken out, ac- cording to the club’s owner. Rickey is ready to barter for play- ers. Other fellows are ready to trade, too, but no deals have been made. Rickey refuses to divulge the names of the men he is willing to sacrifice, but it is generally known that he seeks a hard-hitting shortstop and another catcher to aid Sam Agnew. „These other fellows don’t want to trade with me,” said Rickey after breakfast this morning. “They pro- pose trades, that if made, would be cheating me. „1 have had several chances to trade players but I am not doing any trading simply for the sensation it might bring. When I make a trade it will be because I believe the man or men obtained will help the Browns for years to come.” The Case of Hoblitzel. Some St. Louis fans might inquire why Rickey permitted Dick Hoblit- zel, the former Cincinnati first bage- man, to slip to the Red Sox of Bos- ton. When asked if he had waived on the ex-Red inflelder, Rickey re- lied that he had. He declared that e believed Hoblitzel would not bene- fit his team. Because New Yorkers invariably turn out well for all Saturday games, it was decided to play off the post- oned game of Friday as part of a ouble-header next Monday. Rickey will show a changed batting order in today’s game. fim Austin will be the new lead off man, with Shotton and Pratt dropped to second and third_ positions, respectively. Clarence Walker will occupy the fourth notch with Jack Leary at his old place in fifth. Gus Williams, who hasn't been hitting a lick, will swing sixth, ahead of Lavan and the bat- tery. Earl Hamilton will probably pitch today’s game against Ray Caldwell. They warmed up for yesterday's game. RESULTS AND SCHEDULES NATIONAL LEAGUE, Yesterday’s Results. Cardinals, 8-12-1: Philadelphia.

Johnson has been trimmed by promot- ers, squeezed by lawyers, fined by the courts and muloted by hie own pleas- ures and vices until he ought to be penniless; but here he is today with the start of another fortune and at least $100,000 more in sight. Johnson is wanted in Chicago in an appeal trial for a penal offense, bat he’s in Europe where France idolizes him and the public doesn’t turn up its nose at his white wife. Can You Beat It? OHNSON won his laurels from a cheese champion and has fought thin but cheeses since—Jeffries, Flynn, Moran. Now that all the good fighters are dead or out of it, there are only a lot of little fry, men of enly ordinary merit left in the heavy- weight game That he will keep his efficiency long enough to clean up the present crop seems probable; and by that time he will have become independ- ently wealthy. Johnson has in sight the following battles: With Sam Langferd, October, Carpentier, in rance, date net Frith Guaboat Smith, match not made but sure to be. With Jeas Willard, bout yet to be arranged, but being promoted Coffroth. * his customary terms, $30,000 for each appearance, Johnson will gain $120, - 000 from these bouts, to say nothing of his prospective earnings from theatrical and music hall engagements, at which he averages about $20,000 a year. It certainly must make the virtuous person who thinks he ought to get the plums feel badly to see Fortune smil- ing on this big, undeserving smoke. Only Way to Do—Pay! 1 on the Smith-Carpentier battle are out with the usual post- bellum controversy with the stake- holder over what disposition should be made with the stakes wagered on the duration of the fight. A number of Gentlemen's“ bets were made that the bout would not last 20 rounds—meaning, of course, that one or the other of the contestants would be knocked out. No knockout goes into the record, in the Smith-Carpentier fight, but the man | HERE was a rabbit’s foot in the house when John Arthur Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world was born. according to every reasonable deduction Johnson ought to be incapacitated, ‘‘broke’’ and trying to show the court why he shouldn’t serve a jail sentence, on no other ground than that he’s the luckiest guy living can his present day happy condition be explained. Considering that who wagered the bout WOULD NOT LAST 2 ROUNDS is bound to be right. As between what was said and what was meant, there can be no discussion—the former gets the call. There is no drawn stakes outlet here. * L AVIGNE—There was no reason why the Carpentier-Smith bout should not have been referred to as being for the “white heavyweight chataptonshi> of the world.“ Carpentier had whipped everybody of note in Europe, while Gunboat Smith has trimmed all of the white ones in this country and one of the best of the blacks—Sam Langford. * — Billiard Test Coming.

Inman will play in St. Louis against, Hoppe in one of the international exhi- bitions, so that followers of the game here can judge of the foreign method of playing. Over there championship matches last anywhere from to 18,000 points and it’s possible to score ag high as nine counts on one shot. . A Pitiful Tale. About all the Feds have accom- plished in St. Louis is to keep alive that “tail-end” jest. Jack Miller Regains Batting Orbs and Cardinals Find It Easy to Win S pointed out in these columns A Friday, the Cardinals find it extremely difficult to win with Jack Miller in a batting slump—and everybody knows Jack hasn’t hit a lick for nine games. At least not un- til yesterday. But Jack located his batting lamps against the Phils in the second soire and he inserted a few timely wallops early in the game that started Ers- kine Mayer, one of the few success- ful Jewish pitchers in the major league, on the road to ruin. Jack's single in the second inning yielded a run, while he drove home another tally in the third besides scoring one himself. 1 the Cards went over on the bit, 8—4. Lee Magee missed the proceedings because of «a three-day suspension handed down by John K, Tener, auto- erat of the National League. Lee said something to Rigler about the great scarcity of good umpires in Thurs- day’s game and “Rig” sent Flash to the bastile for a reasonable rest. Dressen is relieving Magee and doing his share to win games. Besides bat- ting out of turn Thursday, he scored a run with a sacrifice fly. Hub Perdue had the Quaker slug- gers in the slough of despond fon seven innings, or until such time as the Cardinals had the game cinched beyond all possible doubt. Then Per- due slowed up to a walk and permit- ted the enemy to fatten up their bat- ting averages. Hub had the enemy locoed until the game was cinched. Cozy Dolan is getting in the prima donna class. After the game was sewed up Hug e Cozy and sent him to the clubhouse for an early bath. I Wingo accorded the same courtesy, being ved by Roche. This gink Roche, by the way, deserves watching. He's as big as Alva Williams of Wasu- ington more aggressive. Wingo batted 100. Two hits, one a | double, , walks. 2.

He worried Mayer into making a wild throw to first in the fifth inning and while n was re- trieving, Coze made third. He tried to sneak home on Miller’s out, but was doubled by an eye-lash. At that, he was applauded. Bobby Byrne is playing purely on his nerve. He a spiked foot that hardly permits him to walk. Just the same, he combed two singles and played his usual bang-up game on the defense. A new second sacker, named George McAvoy, from Muskogee, Okle., joined the Phils Friday and batted for in in the seventh. He's fast on his feet, 4 hasn't the appearance of a great er. There was a long delay before Mc- Avoy went to bat. The reason was that Dooin had to swap shirts with th recruit, who was clothed in an “at- home’ shirt and traveling trousers. Such misfits are not permitted in a first-class league like the National.

This afternoon will be devoted to the senior events of the Southwestern Row- ing Regatta, at Creve Coeur Lake. There are seven races on the program for the day, namely: Six-oared barge, single sculls, four-oared scull shells, pair- oared scull shells, open half-mile dash for four-oared shells, double scull shells, and eight-oared shells. The Western Rowing Club got off to quite an advantage in the Junior row- ing yesterday, and in order to off-set the lead the other contenders will have to put a quietus on the Western @eniors. The Lincoln Park Boat Club of Chicago, the single out-of-town entrant, the Baden Central, Century, Mound City, North End and St. Louis Rowing clubs complete the entry. There should be several good races today and inasmuch as the second day events are generally run off smoother than the first day’s the regatta should be more pleasing to the spectator than it was yesterday. The barge race has five entrants and as usual should be one of the most in- teresting contests of the day. There has not been a barge race in this year’s re- gatta rowing that had been completed vrithout some protest or unpleasantry. Usual Wrangles Develop. Yesterday's rowing was very unsatisfac- tory from every standpoint. Iwo races had to be rowed over, one will be today at 11:00 a. m., and was protested. The Western crew won the barge, but owing to the fact that it rowed out of the course, was dis- qualified, Baden receiving first place. ‘The matter will be taken up again at a meet- ing this morning. The single sculls will be re-rowed this morning, as three of the pairs touled yesterday. In the races that were allowed the West- ern R. C. made a great sweep, taking three out of the five remaining contests. Those events which they won were the pair, double, and eight and second place in the four, the Chicago club taking first In the latter. The Lincoln Park crews also took a second and third. The Baden and Central clubs each took one victory. Other points were dis- tributed ee between St. Louis, Mound City and North End clubs. Weaver in Hospital as Result of Collision in Going After Short Fly PHILADELPHIA, July 17.—-George Weaver, captain and shortstop of the Chicago White Sox, who was injured in a collision with Demmitt, the left- fielder, while going after a fly ball at Shibe Park yesteréay, will probably be out of the game several days. Weaver has a dent in his forehead over his left eye akg the result of com- ing in contact with Demmitt's chin. He spent the night in the University of Pennsylvania Hospital as a matter of precaution and today showed no fur ther Ill effect from the collision. An X-ray photograph was taken to- day to determine the nature of the in- jury to the skull. Demmitt has a cut on his chin, but is expected to play in today’s game. ‘HOW MANY HEADACHES IN THIS HENLEY CUP PHILADELPHIA, July 18—George of Chicago, assistant manager of the Har- vard second crew which won the Henley Cup. made members of the Harvard club of Boston anxious when thev wer uench their thirst on this hot day by Alanin ia terms the capacity of that cup.

Steve is the party who broke up a perfectly good little game between the Brookfeds and Pittsburg in the twelfth inning Monday by lifting the ball over the left field fence, scoring the only run of the long contest. As he crossed the plate an excited individual rushed out and embraced him, at the same time forcing a small article in the player's x A,” as Steve terms ft, is yel- low in hue and calls for the payment of $2 im good United States gold.

The market was bearishly affected also by liberal acceptances on overnight bids from here to the country. After openin e to Sc lower, prices suffered a materia further setback. Corn sagged with wheat. A bulge at Liver- pool due to the unmerchantable quality of Argentine shipments, was virtually ignored. The 4 ee which ranged from Ke off to a sha advance, was followed by a mod- erate drop all around. Lack of demand weakened oats. Selling, however, was not of an aggressive sort. Scantiness of og receipts at Western | points held provisions steady. The totes ar- rivals were but little more than half as year. ——— Chicago Cash 2 CHICAGO, July 18. 5 * 2 80M H SON e: No. 2 ha tas Northern, 88@00%e: Nae 2 spring, 1877885 Corn — No. 2 vellow, 71e No. 3 yellow, 718 Oats—No. 3 white. 2 ans: standard. 87 A 37%.

LOUIS, July 18. 14 — Liverpool cables were a fraction 7 higher, but the domestic weather map showed low temperatures and clear skies in the Northwest and there were less numerous reports on black rust damage to spring wheat. Primary wheat receipts were heavy and indications are for a large run of wheat to market next wee The cash and export trade was only fair. Strength in Minneapolis and strength in Manitoba offers stimu- x lated strength at the opening in Liv- erpool and values were %d to 40 higher. Following the opening there was a further advance on firmness of European offers, continued unfa- vorable weather advices from Russia, ago but later this advance was met with Minneapolis profit taking on expectations of lib- | Kansas Cit eral American shipments this week | Milwaukee and continued liberal American re-! ceipts of new wheat. Again there was covering by shorts with the strength in corn and firmer overnight Ameri- can offers. At the close the undertone .

Trade was quiet. The late market was irregular with final figures %c to Me lower. The weather map showed lower tem- peratures over the corn belt and there was considerable rain in sections. The weather forecast over Sunday was fav- orable and exerted a bearish influence. Receipts were light and Liverpool cables 1%d higher. Liverpool corn opened dd higher. Easier American cables thun expected were offset by firmness of Plate offers. During the morning the September op- tion was very excited and after selling up nearly 24 declined %d@ to %d, closing 144 up from Friday. Plate arrivals con- tinue to show a poor quality and much anxiety is felt for future ar- rivals. Danubian offers are firm. Later there was some profit 288 At the close prices were d to 18d higher. some profit taking. At the close prises | were d to led. higher. Broomhall cabled: ‘Reports received from Argentina say that much difficulty is being experienced in filling contracts. The unsatisfactory condition of arrivals in foreign ports is making buyers very critical and this is curtailing business. It is feared that a large. percentage of the crop which is back is unmerchanta- ble.’ Liverpool wheat closed d higher; corn 1%d higher. Buda Pest wheat, ge higher. Antwerp unchanged. Berlin e lower.

An uncommonly clever performancs of two entertaining playlets and a presentation of pionalogue sketches and character impersonations was given last night by the summer dramatic classes of the Morse School of Expression in the school’s Toy Theater at the Musica] Art Building, Boyle avenue and Olive street, for the benefit of the Post-Dis- patch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund to save the tenement babies, and the per- formance earned 355.50 for the good cause. The pretty little playhouse was well filled for the occasion and the audience greatly enjoyed the evening's offerings. The first of the two playlets present- ed was a comedy in one act entitled A Suffragette Baby,’’ telling a diverting story of how Mrs. McGinnis, the shrewd landlady with whom four enthusiastic young suffragettes roomed, so skillfully played upon their natural maternal in- stincts as to induce all of them to mother! an orphan infant, three of the four secretly adopting the child, and the fourth, the militant leader of the quartet, ultimately becoming its most solicitoug champion. This little story was rich in genuine humor and its situations were admira- bly developed by the effective work of Miss Harriet Crehore as Mrs. McGinnes, Misses Dorothy Hill, Agnes Hill, Nellie Grace and Mrs. J. M. Litchfield as the four suffragettes and Mrs. Mary E. Turner as Miss Harriet Driver, a news- paper reporter who lacked sympathy for the suffragette movement. The second playlet was a one-act farce entitled “The Trouble at Satter- lee's and its action was based upon the amusing fact that a novel being written by one of the pupils at Miss Satterlee’s select seminary for young ladies led Kathleen, the Satterlee maid, overhearing a discussion of its melo- dramatic plot, to believe that a bloody murder was contemplated by the stu- dent group figuring in the story. The playlet proved genuinely provoca- tive of laughter, climaxing in a finely absurd situation, and with the utmost appreciation of farcica! possibilities. Those appearing in its cast were Miss Elfreda Schaefer as Miss Satterlee, Misees Elizabeth Barrow, Agnes Hill, Jetta Beason, Dorothy Hill and Bertha Schaefer as the five pupils concerned in the discussion of the novel's thrilling tale, and Mrs. J. M. Critchfleld as Kath- leen, the low-comedy maid whose blun- dering gave rise to the play’s complica- tions. Between the presentation of these two diverting playlets Miss Ella Rebhan won the distinct favor of the audience by an entertaining series of pianologue reci- tatives, presented. with notable dramatic its ly amused the house with a group of character impersonations developed in the course of a little sketch entitled ‘The Fordyce Country School Exer- cises.’” The entire evening’s performance was marked by finished work and Was a suc- cess in every respect. The two plays were staged by Harry R. McClain. A very delightful entertainment was given Thursday evening by children on the lawn of the residence of Mrs. G. Wecker, 1435 Clara avenue, for the ben- efit of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, and the goodly amount of $32.01 was earned with which to help save the tenement babies. The program presented was: “THE FAMILY JAR.” Zelda Friedlob Mare Gate E Betty Friedloo anigan.

Tucker Takes Acid After Getting License to Wed Mrs. Lillian Van Dillen. HER MESSAGE TOO LATE Daughter Arrives With Word for Man and Then His Body Is Discovered. Willlam J. Tucker, 29 years old, ef Ti9 North Garrison avenue, and Mrs. Lillian Van Dillen, a widow of 3009 Basten ave- nue, quarreled yesterday afternoon after they had obtained a marriage license, and Tucker went to his room and killed himself by swallowing carbolic aéid. Shortly after Tucker had taken the poison and before anyone else had learned of his act, Mrs. Van Dillén’s 12- year-old daughter called at the Garri- son avenue house with a message for him from Mrs. Van Dillen. A boarder, going to Tucker’s room te call him, found his body, with the bottle of acid beside it. Returning to the door the boarder sent the child home, telling her Tucker was asleep. She went away without saying what the message was which she had intended to give to him. The boarder then told others in the house of his discovery. Widow Leaves Her Home. Mrs. Van Dillen, who later was in- formed of Tucker's death, left her room- ing place, taking her daughter with her, and a woman at the house sald this morning she did not know where they had gone. Before departing she is said te have cxpressed her grief over the suicide. and to have declared that she would have married Tucker if she “had known it was going to come to this.“ not say what the message was which she had sent by her daughter, but it is Lelieved that she meant to invite Tuck- er to call on her with a view to a recon- ciliation. Tucker was foreman in a lumber yard in Clayton. He boarded until a week ago at 30009 Easton avenue, and there met Mrs. Van Dillen, also a boarder there. They were acquainted nearly four four years. Planned an Aute Trip. They went to Clayton Thursday after- noon and got a marriage license. Tuck- er planned an automobile ride to St. Charles for last evening, to be followed by’ the wedding there. But a quarrel. arose, and Tucker, wko had appeared at the Garrison avenue house flourishing the license, and telling everyone how happy he was, went away with down- cast face. How much carbolic acid would it. take to kill a man?“ he asked Mrs. Mil- dred Hughes, the landlady, as he de- parted. She replied that she did not know. | He went to his own house, rolled up the license and sent it to Mrs. Van Dillen by a boy. She sent the boy back, inviting him to return and see her. He went back, but they came to no gatis- factory understanding, and he went away more gloomy than before, ..On reaching his boarding place he went to his room and asked to be called in an hour. The girl's visit at 6 p. m. caused his body to be found sooner than he had intended. e WIPING GLASSES FATAL _ TO MOTOR CYCLE RACER Man Blinded by Dust at Max- wellton Crashes Into Fence and Goes Over Bank. Thomas McLewis, Birmingham, Ala., was killed Friday afternoon at the Maxweilton Speedway when his motorcycle crashed into a fence and he was hurled down a %foot embankment in view of a crowd of about 2000 persons. The accident occurred in the first event of the day, the mile national professional championship race. Me- Lewis and five others were entered. After a flying start the riders asst a terrific pace. The course was fast; but dusty. The drivers were helf way around the track on the second lap and McLewis was close behind the lead- ers. The dust raised by the machines ahead of him may have blinded him, for he appeared to raise his hand to wipe the dust from his glasses. The movement was fatal. The ma- chine skidded at the east turn and ran into the fence, turning several somer- saults and landing # feet from the foot of the steep embankment. . The driver was thrown from his machine and lay unconscious on the ground. The crowd began to pour inte the field. An am- bulance stationed at the starting point picked the youth up and teck him to the St. Luke’s Hospital. His legs Were -| broken, his skull was fractured and his arms and chest crushed.
