Soller was walking on the south side of O’Fallion street and along the blank wall of the Beck & Corbitt Iron Co. warehouse when he was attacked and shot. A bullet entered his right ear and emerged at the back of his head He feli to the ground dead and his body rolled into the gutter. After picking up the satchel of money and jumping into their machine the! robbers drove rapidly west to Broad.- way, north a short block to Cass ave- nue, west to Ninth street and then north in « direct line toward the west end of the McKinley bridge over whica they were believed to have escaped. Frederick Fitzsimmons, so far as is known, is the only person who obtained a good view of the robbers as they fled. He was on his way to the Maguire Oil Co. plant in a runabout automobile when the retreating robbers’ car almost col- lided with him at Broadway and O’Fal- lon street. At that time, Fizsimmons said, a man wearing a Palm Beach suit and a straw hat was standing in the tonneau ot the machine and apparently urging the driver to go faster. The driver, he said, was a short dark man of foreigr. aspect with unusually long black hair. He was hatiléss. Four or Five in Car. Fitzsimmons said there were four or five men in the car and that two of them wore Palm Beach suits. All were of dark complexion and none, he thinks, was more than 30 years old. When the big car came near hitting his runabout Fitzsimmons called ont asking why they didn’t watéh where they were going. They paid no atten- tion to him. A man came running up the street and told Fitzsimmons the men in the big machine were escaping robbers. Fitz- simmons turned his machine around and gave chase. He followed the big car up Cass ave- nue and several blocks north on Ninth street, but it easily outdistanced him. When he gave up the chase, he said, the car was far ahead of him and near the McKinley bridge approach. Charles Perkins, a negro, of 2€38 Pine street, was at work on a freight piat- form on O’Falion street, half a bdilock north of O'Fallon street. He told «a Post-Dispatch reporter he saw two men grappling with each other at Second and O'Fallon streets. He thought they wrestied about three minutes but it may not have been so long. Perkins turned to other workmen and said: “Look at that fight.” “While his head was turned he heard ree shots in quick succession. He looked toward the corner again and saw @ man fall to the aldewalk. He then saw three men run across the street. He says two wore Palm Beach suits. R. W. Alien, an employe at the Kea- nard Carpet Co. warehouse near Seco ond and O’Failon streets, heard the shots and ran to the sidewalk. He saw two men jump into the automobile It was Allen who told Fitzsimmons the men were robbers. William W. Coates, a department man- ager, Was in the office of the refriger- west to second street and found Soller lying in the gutter. Keew of Ma e, Coates accompanied the besy to the morgue. He said was one of fow persons who had learned of Soller's : 5 ne Lie secret marriage two weeke ego, Soller ai . ae FN ee geminata ae told him about it yesterday. Coates said Soller had worked for the company seven years and was considered one of its most reliable employes. Strong and of athletic build, Soller never seemed to think he was taking any risk when he carried large sums of money from the banks to the company’s office. He was not armed when he was shot. Soller broke the news of his secret »marriage to several of.his fellow em- ployes yesterday afternoon and talked of his plans for fitting up a home. Robber Had Lookout, Eugene H. Thompson of 1217 North Market street, a watchman for the Terminal Railway Association, was in the lookout tower at Main and O’Fallon streets, when he saw a man whom he believes was stationed as a lookout during the holdup. Thompson told reporters the man was sitting on the steps of the Kennard Car- pet Co., southwest corner of Main and O'Fallon, and that his attention was at- tracted to him particularly on account of his flashy attire of white striped trousers, white shirt and collar, brown coat and sailor straw hat. The man, according to Thompson, ap- peared to be greatly excited, and at times arose and paced the sidewalk in front of the steps, looking constantly up and down the street. Thompson said he had turned to at- tend to his work when he heard a shot and on turning around saw the man runhing around the southwest corner of Main and O'Fallon. Thompson describes the man he saw as being between 90 and # years old, 6 feet 10 inches in height and about 160 pounds in weigh. Auto Used by Robbers in Six Pre- vious Holdups in St. Leuis.

He left the machine in the vicinity of the McKinley Bridge, escap- ing on a street car in the direction of Carondelet. Thomas J. O'Meara, a saloon keeper at Twenty-first and Randolph streets, carrying $3000 in a grip was held up by three men, on Oct. 10, 1912, in front of his saioon. They got the money and es- caped, in a machine which they had waiting for them. One of these robbers and the chauffeur were later captured and sent to the penitentiary. On Sept. 10, 1912, three robbers got out of an automobile at the saloon of Wil- liam Hufnagel, 4200A Kossuth avenue, entered the saloon, shot and killed Huf- nagel and escaped. The drug store of William C. Lieser, at 4600 Gravois avenue, was entered by three men Dec, 2, 1912, who held up Lieser, took $25 and escaped tn an auto. Is your Paymaster Insured?

(Little, Brown & Co.) | man Nature in Politics,”’ has made a very creditable attempt at psy- chologic explanation of society in his latest work, “‘The Great Society.” He says that since people speak of the Great Industry, it is well that we speak of the Great Society, meaning the so- cial organization in which we are all included. In the first part of the book the au- thor examines the reasons for the for- mation of the great society and finds in the invention of mechanical appliances the real cause for our extensive and complex social organization. He then looks into what is known as crowd psychology, or the psychology of the crowd which was popularized by Le Bonn. The author does not agree with those who lay very much stress on crowd psychology. He believes that it is wrong to speak of the Germans desiring this or that, as we would speak of the desires of an individual Ger- man. In this, of course, he differs with the modern social psychologists. In the succeeding chapters he exam- ines the psychic reason for social and individual actions, or rather the “‘dispo- sitions’’ of human beings which cause them to do certain things. These chap- ters are interesting and well written. There is nothing technical about them, and persons who have not read much psychologic literature can easily follow the author. In part two the writer proceeds to ad- vocate the organization of thought and of will. The organization of these twvo important human factors can then re- sult in the organization of happiness. This being the business of the Great Society. It is only by the organigation of happiness that the great sdclety can live, since happiness is so very necessary to man. In trying to picture for himself the social system he would like to see instituted in England and America, the author says he would like to see in these countries the sort :f life he saw in Norwegian villages, where the professional man, the mer- chants, the workers, the office boys, In a word everyone, had a great measure fof self-respect and was capable of hap- piness. They all were ‘“‘near the mean,” what we would call near the average. It is really the extremes that bring un- happiness. In other words, to be happy in the great society we must be men. We must be neither “hands” nor money machines. A stimulating book worth reading an thinking about. It should receive wide circulation. (Macmillan Co.). “THE VANISHED MESSENGER.” N ‘The Vanished Messenger” £. Philips Oppenheim returns to the type of tale that brought him fame in his earlier days. It is a story of cross purposes, thrilling intrigue, inter- woven with love and some melodram- atic action. The characters are vital, as they are depicted in the story, with 4 villain of the first order forming the central figure of the story. The novel coming at this time,’ when all Europe is at war, seems to be quite a coincidence, and would be more so if the nations as they are depicted in the story were rearranged to give them the game relative position as they have in the real conflict now being waged. In the Oppenheim story all the na- tions conspire against England, with the exception of the United States. Their plan is to divide the provinces of the British Empire among the allied Powers, trying to make the English nation ea secondary power, while in the existing THE GREAT SOCIETY.

War, in the story is averted by the capitalists of Wall street, who send a messenger to the conference at The Hague, to which England was not in- vited, with a notice that they will not countenance a war of such a magnitude. At this point the villain enters with the capture of the messenger and thus attempts to bring the Powers of Europe to war. A lust for bloodshed is the ruling passion of the villain, coming to him after an accident which caused the amputation of both legs. Mr. Oppenheim surpasses himself in the picturing of the villain, his life, the working of his masterly mind, misdi- rected as it is in the cause of war and bloodshed, the execution of his plans, and in his final failure and downfall, which brings peace to the world and happiness to the niece of the villain, who becomes the flance of a man direct- ly responsible for the villain’s over- throw. (Little, Brown & Co.) “JESS OF THE RIVER,” HE heroine of Theodore Goodridge xy Roberts’ “Jess of the River’ is a girt of the Canadian woods. The river is the Blue Bend of Canada. The girl breaks up a log jam and falis into the river and incidentally falls in love with the young man who ig boss- ing the log drive. The romance which develops purports to form the basis of the story’s appeal, but whatever strength it possesses grows more out of the adventures of the various characters than out of the romance of the two. Young persons with enough imagination to supplement the work f the author, and young persons who are not too exacting, will find the narrative entertaining, in spite of the crudity and artificiality which do violence to the susceptibilities of more discriminating readers. (Dillingham.) CHILD EDUCATION, HE proverbial “swinging of the pendulum” has been noted in ped- agogica] realms. From the meth- ods of instruction used by our great- grandmothers we have advanced to a method of “wholesale” instruction as embodied in our present public school system. We have delegated the educa- tion of our young to trained Individuals, in the hope of securing better results. But we have carried it to unreasonable extremes in our overzealous attempt at ‘hothouse’ methods. Instead of turn- ing out boys and girls equipped to meet the problems of life, we are cramming little heads full of smatterings of a number of branches of knowledge. In the grouping of children in large num- bers, according to grades and percent- ages reached during examination, the purpose of instruction and the needs of the individual child are lost sight of or overlooked. That there is not a beneficia! personal contact of puptl and teach@r goes without saying, when we consider that every schoolreom con- tains from 3% to ® pupils and is pre- sided over by one teacher. An eloquent plea for practical indi- vidual instruction is volced by Billa Frances Lynch in her book, “Educating Phebe Cole, 1009 N. Walnut st., West Bav Citr, Mich... Feb. 25, 1914.

They are Mrs. Woodney, who is the author of a book. and her husband, who is a bind min- ister. He is a good, kind, sympathetic with a supreme faith In God. The remaining members are everyday folk, whe live their life, enjoying the family, their friends, their work and happy in the company of ene another. The story traces the family through poverty and hardship te a reasonable comfort, with contentment prevailing at all times, despite privations. (Devin- Adair.) ; THE NEW OPTIMISM. "T trom bad” thas is getting away from bad that it may become wholly good, is the contention of timism.”’ In a sort of dialogue form he demonstrates that evolution means bet- from reptile into Man. It is an op- timism needed in our Gay of doubt and skepticism. The author’s optimism, however, will not be readily accepted by advanced thinkers of the day. He assails every- thing that social optimists hold dear. He tries to strike a blow at Socialism. But his blow is feeble because he misunder- stands the philosophy of Socialism. He objects to what he calls “feminism,” be- cause this, too, he misunderstands. The author forgets that the best Socialism is the expression of and love for a larger growth of the laboring masses, just as feminism is the expression of the men- tal and moral advance of woman. Both these ideas are the results of evolu- tion. The author's views on these two im- portant subjects are rather singular, gince he does comprehend so well the evolution from the individual mind to the social or universal mind.

Our Socialist friends in St. Louis have cour- ege. Through their official organ, St. Louis Labor, they have called a meeting for next Sun- day afternoon at New Club Hall of the working men and women of all nationalities to protest OF west against the Burepean war. German, WBHnglish, Russian, Austrian, Hungarian, Jewish, Bohemian, Servian, Slovenian, Croatian, Roumanian and Lettish speakers are announced. We hope the meeting will be a success. A gath- ering in America of the representatives of na- tions in Burope now engaged in bloody and costly war to protest against war has an inspiring touch of that human brotherhood which is the ideal of civilization. It brings into striking contrast with destructive war the ideal of peace and emphasizes the meaning of civilization. If civilsation does not mean friendly and profitable co-operation of individuals and peoples for their mutual welfare; if it does not mean that so long as there are divisions of race, language and nationality there shall be amicable relations between individuals, races and nations, it has no | value to mankind. A meeting of this kind suggests the true line of sympathy which should move all humane, right- thinking, civilized men everywhere. The line, as the Post-Dispatch has already pointed out, runs to the burdened and afflicted people of the fighting nations and against imperialism and militarism— national pistol teting—which, with the injustice and tyranny flewing from them, are the prime causes of the war. They foment the illusions of ra- ctal antagoniams and national ambitions, which prepare the soil for war and nourish its apparent causes. If there were no Emperors {tn Burope with im- : perial and monarchia! ambitions, the war that is now raging would be impossible. Let us get our thought right. Let us distin- guish between imperial Germany—the Emperor's ideal, with ite marshaling of Germans as units in a vast military organization to support imperial ende—and the Germanic people whose genius, under monstrous burdens and handicaps, has achieved wonderful progress in art, science, in- dustry and commerce. The world-wide commerce which was the proof of this energy, capacity and thrift is now, alas! brought to ruin by tmperial roilitarism. Lat us distinguish between the ingenious, in- dustrious and thrifty France of the shop and mart, the studio and the laboratory, and French mili- tarism, which, under the influence of fear and revenge, has made France ax armed camp. Illustratiens might be multiplied to prove the burden and menace of imperialism and its twin brother, militarism. If Europe were rid of these monster evils, nine- tenths of the alléged causes of war would dis- appear. Her national boundaries would follow the lines of harmonious racial affinity instead of the frictional lines of arbitrary imperial decree and diplomatic patching. The best contribution that we Americans of all blends, neutrals in the war and citizens of a free republic, can make to peace is to keep our thought clear as to the ‘real causes of the war and the results that should follow it. We should keep in mind the rights and interests of the peoples who are suffering from the consequences of im- perialistic ambition and greed.

An impatiently awaited event which we have looked forward to for 10 years as the supreme world event of its time, if good fortune and Amer- ican skill and enterprise should combine to bring it about, is reached today, only to be curiously suvordinated. For the informal opening of our canal, the Ancon will make its way today through the ruightiest of artificial waterways. The locking through of four steamers, two in each direction, w!)] follow tomorrow. To their significant transit, however, only a divided attention will be direct- ed. Humanity’s chief interest will be powerfully centered on another quarter of the globe. [f the relative quality in the tmportance of events in the near perspective is strikingly illus- trated, we may yet be confident that it is certain to be accorded proper recognition in the larger perspective that measures and weighs and ap- raises according to benefits to mankind. The canal's cost has at times seemed staggering to us. We have been solicitous about the strain on credit. But we have sought beneficent ends at a vastly less expenditure than other peoples have sought en _s of malevolence and hate. Our burden for construction is negligible compared with Europe’s burden for destruction. We are justified in contrasting this greatest of the world’s triumphs in peaceful endeavor with the other and sinister kind of triumphs which brothers of the race seek over brothers abroad. But lest we may be tnclined to emphasize this startling contrast too strongly we May remember that our achievement was a result of one of our own wars. That it is finished at this time, instead of some indefinite date in the future, and under Government rather than other auspices, is due in part to its character as a work of military ne- cessity. It renders practically continuous our two coast lines, formerly separated by thousands of miles of earth’s surface, and adds enormously to eur ca- pacity for facile defense. These are times of peril. The mother continent of modern civilization seems to have run amuck. We cannot know the hour when our own security will be affected by some mischance. It may be that, with our usual luck, our méans of self-protection have been given va!l- uable reinforcement fust at a time when they will be needed. But the great object of our canal is service, not strife. It is dedicated to the peaceful and profitable we of mankind. i A A _- 7 “OUR VALUED ALLY.’’ “We trust,” says the London Times, “that our yalued ally in the far Kast will Nmit her action te Kiao Chau.

President Wilson wants to change the name of the Culebra cut of the Panama Canal to Gaillard cut. It is understood that the President is not quite sure that he has the authority to make the change by an executive order. President Taft changed the name of the isthmian town of La Boca to Balboa, and no one dis- puted hig right to do so. Mr. Wilson |! cam be certain that if he issues the order making the change he wants to make the country will approve his action. The great army engineer, Lieutenant- Colonel David du Bose Baillard, dug the Culebra cut, overcame the landslides and died a martyr to his completed duty. Sentiment and justice demand that the work be given his name. There is no historic reason for keeping the present name, Culebra, which is a Spanish word meaning snake. The hills through which Gaillard dug the cut abounded with snakes,‘and thig fact alone wae responsi- ble for the name given to the big ditch, In the years to come it is likely that engineers who carried them to comple- tion. All these engineers except Gaillard are alive, and it is not the custom of the United States to name places, forts or battleships for living men. Geillard is dead. He completed one of the great- eat engineering works known to history and he laid down his life for his coun- try. President Wilson will do a thing most grateful to the people if he will fs. sue the order making the Culebra cut teasers. ther fat * Y cnn cane oe Eh can be: aauenlin t cond ia long ane for robus ork of ‘eon the different construction works on the | si¥m™ Panama Canal will be named for the’ direction, look out for one coming the] the Gaillard cut. are more — Cooking facilitates the texture of the ceote chemical in the LAW POINTS.

But with 17 cases of bubonic plague in New Or- leans, to date, the only safe course is to continue the extermination of rats as rapidly as it can be done. .The fewer in number the local army of rats, the slower will be the spread of any possible infection from rodents coming here in river boats or freight cars. Work on these lines by all the river cities, with the excellent campaign of the lo- cal and Federal authorities at New Orleans, will make the river valley immune from plague. - = = —_— SS = Thomas A.

His judgment (in view of the facts that he escaped repudiation by resigning his office slightly in advance of his fina) term, and that his pet reso- lutions have just been rejected by a vote of 645 to 107, in the Texas Democratic State convention) seems to be accurately represented by a minus sign.

The German armies are equipped, it is said, with crematory apparatus capable of burning up “5 bodies an hour; also with expert grave dig- gers. They are not yet up to date. An American ditching machine attached to each regiment could put out of sight the ghastly evidences of a bloody battle almost as fast as they could be produced. This would add greatly to the orderliness of battlefields. With prompt removal of the wound- ed, wars might go on indefinitely with a maximum of decorum. There would be little, outwardly, to show the savagery that had reigned. Only the maimed and crippled and the broken-hearted would be left to testify. From the Engineering Record.

AS THE CORRESPONDENTS SEE HIM. ¢ a PATERNALISM IN AUSTRALIA. From the Troy Standerd Preas. The patronage of agriculture by the Government of Australia is worth seme- thing to the farmer there. Aecording te statements made on the floor of Con- gress the other day, the Government builds a residence upon the land, giving the settler the choice of 14 different styles of houses to select from. It seeds one-fourth of each allotment to alfalfa, the settler paying one-fourth of the cost ang having 10 years in whieh to pay the remainder. Besides this the Geverament leans to the settler an amount of money equal to ® per cent of the permanent improve- ments that he places on the land at a rate of interest varying from 3 to 314 per cent per annum. He isa given en- couragement in many ways to become a home owner and live upon the land and help to raise enough to feed the people of the country who are engaged in other than agricultural pursuits. He is give 80 years in which to pay for his land, Paying 6 per cent interest on the pur- chase price; 44% per cent goes to pay interest on the detft: 114 per cent goes into a sinking fund, which at the end of 8 years pays the whole debt. Evidently this land of the free and home of the brave has something to learn even from Australia.

ALLINGS' CRAPT AN MAKE BRAVES BEAT ATHLETICS —HUB PERDUE. Cardinal Hurler Declares His Form:r Boss Is a Superman in Baseball. By W. J. O’Connor. Of the Post-Dispatch Sporting Staff. CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—Lumbago Bill Doak, the leading pitcher of the Nation- al League. has been assigned the task of scaling the pitching peak this after- neon at the West Side grounds in the first game of a series that involves third place. Doak probably will be opposed bo Ai w, who Boon or the Cards; but Jim Vaughan, a south has been troublesome if Lumbago Bill has his "esuad good for- tune, not to mention his spitball, he should carry the day. Yesterday’s rest gave the Cardinals a2 chance to indulge in a little mental an- uish because o urg. As the returns came in last night of on’s second victory over the Giants, the Cardinal players mournfully admitted that they “booted” a great op- peenaany on the late lamented Eastern There is In the Cardinal ranks now a man who p cts that Boston will win the pennant. This radical is none other than Hub Perdue, who has # arguments a day with the other players, who say the Braves are lucky. Here’s what Hub told the writer today: . Perdue Boosts Braves. “George Stallings is the greatest man- ager that ever stepped in shoe leather and that goes for MoGraw and Mack. The only mistake Stallings ever made was when he released me (suppressed laughter), but you know me, Al. I guess it will be my luck to have the Braves win the pennant this year, but the worst I wish them is that they finish 10 lengths ahead of the field I say this and mean It, because I admire their gameness. “You know I laugh when I hear these guys say the Braves are lucky. To; me that’s a joke for George Cohan to spring on Broadway. I know Stallings: know him a$ a man and as a managet. An I want to say that he can make a ball player out of a wooden Indian. Down in Gallatin, Tenn., where I live. we have a police force who has one leg made of wood At night he uses his leg for a club. I honestly believe that Stallings cogld take that arm of the law and make him the best base-runner ‘n the National League. Stallings a Great “‘Rider.’’ “The other day Lee Magee told me thaz the Braves wouldn’t stand the gaff in New York, in the current saries I still Insist that Lee needs medical attention, because I always have felt that the Braves would run the Giants raggec. There are only two men in baseball that Stallings respects. They are Mathewson I have heard Stallings tell] his men never to kid those two fel- lows, because they are the greatest fic- ures in baseball. But the rest of thut, Giant team is in for a grilling, and T’!! bet fellows like Merkle, Doyle, Bescher | and Snodgrass wish tonight that Stal- | nn ard was conscripted in the German } arm “On the ball field Stallings is meanest man in this world. When te starts to ‘ride’ vou he can tell you things about yourself that you never knew. He will make you wish that the earth would open up and swallow you whole. You quit the fleld thinking vou are ticketed for the minors But the next day you Invariably read in the pa- pers where Stallings says you are the best ball player on this earth or any- vr ere else. Pennant for the Braves. “My prediction ts that the Braves will win the pennant. Just give Stallings enough time to convince his men of their own worth and he wiil win the woita'e| series. “T’'ll admit that Evers and Maranville ere the only real major leaguers. out- the fortunately they* perform around the keystone and that’s where a club needs its playing strength. The whole team revolves around Stallings.

BROWNS’ “$25,000 BATTERY” SOUGHT BY MANY LEADERS Rickey Declares He Had to Out- bid Rivals for ‘‘Best Pair in the Minors.”’ | By Clarence F. Lloyd. Having signed Grover Loudermilk and Hank Severeid of tne Louisville Colo- nels, who have already been nicknamed the “Thirty Thousand Dollar’ battery, Manager Rickey must wait until 1915 be- fore learning if the newcomers will bol- ster the Browns. Rickey is in a gleeful mood because of this, his latest deai; but regrets the fact that Loudermilk and Severeid cannot re- port to the Browns immediately. The Colonels are in the thick of the Ameri- can Association pennant fight and for that reason Manaxver Hayden would not consent to turn loose from his most prized assets at this time. The A. A. season continues as long as the Ameri- can League campaign, se Grover. and Hank will not be seen hereabouts ‘until the 1915 spring series with the Cards. In Rickey’s own language. he has ob- tained “the best battery in the minor leagues today. The deal was only closed after ckey himself, as well as Scouts Sugden and Barrett had looked over the pitcher and catcher. Rickey also received letters from personal friends in the Association advising him to procure the men. Severeid’s Great Record. Severeid has an interesting record this season. To date he has participated in 102 games. He has gone to bat 375 times, scored 63 runs and made 12 hits for a batting average of .320. His bevy of 120 hits netted 68 extra bases, Hank having nicked 17 doubles, eight triples and five home runs. Severetd broke into the big show first in the spring of 1910 with the Reds of Cincinnati, then under the management of Clark Griffith. In Hot Springs that March, when the Browns and Reds trained together, Severeid looked like the best young catcher ever sent up. He was then but 19 years old anda bit- frail. Griff held to him a season and then let him slip back, having Tommy Clark and Larry McLean as nis backstops. Loudermilk is the same tall right- hander who tried to win a berth with the Cardinals under Roger Bresnahan. Grover was credited with possessing all the requirements of a big league hurl- er, save control. His wildness kept him from being a great pitcher. He has nut mastered this entirely, but has improved enough to cause Rickey to pay a great price for him. Loudermilk has lost some aot games this season, due to the fal- ure of the Colonels to bat behind him. Loudermilk Strikeout King. He has pitched in 34 games this sea- son. In 27 innings he has allowed 133 hits for a total of 93 runs. He has given 131 passes and won 17 games while los- ing 13 Grover owns the American Asso- clation strike-out record—235, which is ~ _— strike-outs than his nearest Val. ‘We had to outbid the Red Sox, Braves, Reds and Cubs to get Severeid,”’ said Rickey to the Post-Dispatch. “Rep- resentatives of the Boston Nationals of- fered $10,000 in casn for the catcher. So it is easy to understand that we had to bid high for him, “Although Loudermilk has had a couple of trials in the big league, he looks like a great pitcher.” Catcher Frank Crassin and Pitcher Wiley Taylor, two of the three Brownies who are to go to Louisville along with cash in payment for Severeid and Loud- ermifk, are expected to join the Louis- ville club without a hitch. As yet there ia no talk of them belking ard taking the hurdle to the Federal League. Tha matter was probably adjusted before the announcement of the consumatien of the deal. in. - | Cards’ Newest Shortstop Was Developed by Man Who Discovered Hauser CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Manager Huggins last night completed a deal for the pur- chase of Shortstop Rollie Derringer of the Peoria club, who has been laid up for three weeks with a lame ankle. Derringer comes from a family of bail layers and is the youngest at 22 years. He is a stocky youngster, a little taller than Huggins but heavier, weighing about 165 pounds, according to Scout Herr, who sui him. He bats left- ded and is fast on the paths.

AKING Thomas C. Bundy the goat for a possible American defeat, in the Davis Cup tennis matches, has been almost as popular pastime as kicking the Giants out of first’place. The joke really consists in the fact that Bundy doesn’t happen to be the ‘‘goat,’’ while beating the Giants is more or less a ‘‘kid.’’ Returns from -esterday’s play at Forest Hills, in which McLoughlin and Bundy were beaten by the Aus- tralasians, just as expected, show that while Bundy was made the target for the Australians’ early attack, ha soon braced, foreing the challengers to turn their fire on McLoughlin as being the = player of the two. McLoughlin “Fell Dowa.* That this was true the record amply shows. Here's the “dope’’ on it: In “outs” and “nets.” which cor- respond to errors in baseball, Mc- Loughlin had 59 to Bundy’s 62, in- dicating greater unsteadiness on the part of the Ameriean champton, There’s no blame to be laid at Bundy’s door, and apparently he did better than Behr or any other Amer- ican player could. have done to help out his brilliant teammate. It was just, another case of being up against better players. 7 Errors Beat Americans. N fact, Wilding and Brookes made the Americans beat themselves. This is shown by the following facts: Australia, aces and places, 39 points. America, points. aces and places, 45 This would indicate that the at- tack of the Americans was betten The following figures, however, musl be considered: Australasia, outs and nets.... America, outs and nets Thus, errors cost the Americans 85 more points than their attack grained them. | It Will Be No Fake. OW if Jack ,Johnson is looking for a fight, we suggest that he enter a French restaurant and ask for Hungarian goulash and German fried potatoes. 7 ‘ It’s John Bull’s Year. HAT unrelenting arbitrator, WAR, has called the 1914 international sport clash with England in the sev- enth inning, with the score i to'2 against America. Whether play is resumed this year is entirely in the nanas of the of- ficia: referred to. Thus far seven important contests have been completed, with four more sched- uled for decision. But the advent of WAR will prevent all but one of the} last named meetings, towit: The yacht race, the motor boat Championships and Applegarth’s effort to snatch the U. S. sprint title. One lone event will be decided to a certainiy—the encounter between Willie Hoppe and Melbourne Inman for the world’s bi'liard title.

NE of these may be questioned— the athletic victory of England. This was the case in which a bunch of Americans went over independ- ently to take part in the British championships. Altegether they com- peted in five events and won two, giv- ing England the better of the clash. There was no organized effort of Amor- ica*to win this meet, however. You Too, Loudermilk! OOK out there, Charley Faust! Branch Rickey'l) get you yet. “ If Others Would Confess. ELKER COCHRANE, the lé-year- old billlard wonder, has turned professional, he having joined the galaxy of stars which is to tour the country this winter, Hoppe, Cline, Sutton, Morningstar. Cutler, Demarest and Koji Yamada being of the company he is expected to keep. Ordinarily, when a billiard amateur is reported as becoming a professional it means that he is caught with the goods on. But Cochrane, a school boy, had net had time to become tainted. He was admitte! to be an amateur by the National Amateur Billiard Association, which has never before been willing to admit anything of the kind, except over | its d@ad body. Misses Two Big Titles: That ought to stamp Welker as +a “simon pure.” By surrendering this po- sition Cochrane forfeits two champion ships, which he could have surely won: The National and International amateur world’s championships: .To have captured two such honors at the age of seventeen would appear to be worth waiting months for. But the lure of the CASH has Welker; that’s a bait even the wisest will rise to. Cochrane will get valuable experience in his new venture and it may mean in time that he will oust Hoppe from the title. Any player who can run 3% (un- finished) for an eoernee of 13, at the vage of 16, is entitled to cause a scare to chase up the prety wel the title-holder. Not That Kind of “Fowl.” I N the fight world is it only the chicken-hearted who land foul blows? and veteran py a White Sox’ Weakest Hitter Drives in Winning Runs Off Carl Weilman AMES BRETON, University of Illi- nois, ‘14, whose fame lies chiefly in the fact that he has been doing 4 capable third-basing job for the White Sox. and whose batting percentage is little better than his weight, 175 pounds, crossed Carl Weilman, the Browns, the Sox and himself, by getting two regu- lar hits off a regular pitcher in Friday's frolic at Sportsman’s Park. In fact, Breton helped considerably in routing the Browns, That Breton should zing a slashing double down the left-field line off Weil- man in the ninth and drive in the tieing and winning runs, was quite a shock. Jimmy is a dandy fielder but his fame as a hitter is as broad as Bill Rum- ler’s. And Bill incidentally struck out again yesterday.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “The week ends with the financial sition, both in Sngland and in Amer- Ca, strongly bulwarked. Panic is cer- tainly over, and provision has been made, not only to allay the ee sions of bankers with entangling lia- bilities, but to provide for the perplexing trade situation which is bound to follow. The firmness and promptness with which the first part of the emergency was mat is @ guarantee that the second part will be dealt with quite as éffictently. Now that the immediate financial problem has been solved, the next chapter—one vf absorbing economic interest—will con- cern the reopening of the avenues of ocean trade, and the readjustment of home . industries after the quite abnar- mal dislocation which the war 3 caused. Geld Deposit in Canada. “Re-establishment of workable ex- change relations with Great Britain will naturally come first, and to accomplish that the adoption of the Bank of En- fland’s scheme for a special gold de- posit in trust at Ottawa will be neces- Sary. Such shipments should be grad- ual, and should be made only as the oc- casion arises for covering a given line cf maturing excess debit balances at Lon- Gon. The talk of a possible remittance of $100,000,000 gold current this week on Wall street is sheer nonsense; no such adverse Lalance exists, and no ‘such bal- ance will arise, because while our mer: chandise import trade has fallen to —_ 4 ligible proportions, our export trade in the agricultural necessities is bound to rise to encrmous volume, as soon as the ocean service is moving smoothly. A few months hence, we sholl undoubtedly be raging back gold from Ottawa. “Advices received by Wall street banks from the cotton belt indicated that there would be large additional loans needed in the effort to help out the cotton planters whose loans are coming due. Banks here have made considerable advances already, and it is possible that some of the emergency notes applied for within the last few days will be used for the purpose -of making further remittances to the im- portan Southern banks. ‘Developments in the foreign exchange market reflected a further improve- ment in general conditions with in- creased offerings of grain bills in con- sequence no doubt on the better under- standing arrived at between buyers and sellers of wheat with reference to war risk protection. “The situation showed clearly that the market was gradually recovering a normal position and that the usual trad- ing would, in all probability, presently be resumed. “There were further offerings of bills on Paris, although the business done was restricted for the most part to relatively small amounts. Some bankers sold bills on Germany, on the belief that they could. be handled by. way of Holland or some other indirect method. This trading was not large, but the fact that it was possible at all indicated the changed condition. "There was a decided falling off in the volume of currency ™ ments to the interior. Advices ndicated that some of the banks shee had taken out more emergency notes than they knew what to do with, and that certain institutions having a large number of interior banks to look after were finding that their clients did not require nearly as much cur- rency as they thought rae * would. One-reason for this is the fact that various interior banks had prepared in advance for an emergency by hav- ing the National Currency Associa- tion in their own district fully or- anized, so that when the crisis eveloped there was quick action to- wards securing large supplies of emergency notes on their own ac- count. The Bauk Statement, “Interest in today’s bank return arose chiefly from the fact that last week's $67,000,000 loss of cash, on the average return, seemed to exceed by $26,000,000 the paews shipments of currence out of town.’ oday’s return made a better showin than had been expected. The week's cash loss of all Clearing House institu- tions was only $2,800, for the gold sent to Canada was the Kronprinzes- sin’s cargo and was not in New York bank reserves last week. oans, however, expanded $36,800,000, and by. $4'300,0 in reserves Was increased y, The national banks of New York have increased their note circulation $22, 900,000 in the week. This is the ‘emergency- currency.’ “But the deficit in reserves ia still $10,000,000 less than the § figure reached in November, 1902. * Banking Businexsa Shows ment in Lopdon.

COAST ARTILLERY AT NEW YORK MAKES RECORD Scores 10 Hits Out of 12 Shots at an Illuminated and Mov- ing Target. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Target prac- tice last night by the men of the 128d coast artillery at Fort Hancock dem- onstrated that New York harbor is well protected from battleship invas- ions. Out of 12 shots with 12-inch mor- tar guns fired at an illuminated target four miles away and moving at the rate of eight miles an hour, the artil- lerymen made 10 hits. This, army and navy officers declared, was a record which they doubted had ever been equaled anywhere. In spite of the brilliant illumination by several searchlights which warned all craft away. the booming of the big guns led them to inquire about a bat- tle. In order to trace the course of the shells they were so fixed that they gave off particles of light in flight, clearly showing their course. Stops Insurance Cask Going Abread.

Corn also was weak and iliower, on good weather and increased of- ferings from the country. Oats were easier in sympathy with other grains. Foreign sentiment on wheat also was bearish and prices quoted were lower. Broomhall’s Liverpool cable said: “Weakness in Winnipeg and American cables Friday was an in- centive for renewed pressure here, and at the opening October wheat was nominally 1%d lower. Follow- ing the opening there was further pressure and just before the close October sold 3%d lower. There is no extreme scarcity in the United King- dom, and the favorable outlook for the home crep as indicated by the official report is serving to temper feeling here. Spot wheat was weak and id to 2d lower, with extreme ressure in soft winter, which is free- y offered. Corn was unchanged dur- he the session of trading, but the undertone was steady, The wheat movement in the north- west was fair. Minneapolis received 1% cars against 122 last week and 14 last year. Duluth &% against 41 and 3. Win- nipeg 62 against 111 and 31. Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased 100,000 bu in one day September wheat opened 2yc off at 8Se, then sold at Sic, with a rally to 8i%c. December opened 1l\c off at 98c, then dropped to 91%c. May was %e off on the first trade at $1.00%, then sold at 99%¢c. September corn opened 4c off at 79%c asked, then was offered down to 78%c. December lost %c at 67\%c, then dropped tu 6644c. December oats were \c off at 44c. Sentiment in wheat was badly mixed. Those who were bullish said the trade was too aggressive on the selling side. There has been a break of 10%ec from the recent high point, following an advance of @ 27¢, whieh they think enough for the present. ears predict a decline in the Northwest, especially in the cash premiums, as new wheat is beginning to move.

Mr. and Mrs. Max Eiseman, 3648A Rus- sell avenue. Every member of the party had an in- teresting tale to tell of hardships and disappointrrents in getting to HDngland from continenta] points to embark for America. Nothing -but hard cash would purchase conveniences or necessaries of life from the moment war broke, they saids and Americans rioted at the steamship of- fices in London for the privilege of pay- ing as much as $1000 for steerage tickets that are normally worth but $33. Paper Money Scorned, Paper money was scorned everywhere, and check# were regarded as next to worthless by hotel keepers, dealers and all with whom the tourists were forced to deal. To obtain lodging or meals, Americans would have to make an im- pressive display of gold or silver money and then in self-defense would have to settle bills by writing checks in order not to exhaust the limited supply of coin.

And the old man sighed and shook his head despondently. “When one fights with one’s wife one never wins a battle,” remarked Mr. Jarr. “If you will permit me to proffer a suggestion, I think we can obviate the consequences you dread,”’ remarked Mr. Michael Angelo Dinkston, turning to Mr. Jabez Mudridge-Smith. ‘‘Your wife can be cured by cupping.” “Great Scott! Isn’t that form of minor surgical operation as foolish and futile as dimple digging by these alleged beau- ty specialists? I’m surprised at you, Dinkston!’’ said Mr. Jarr severely. “This ts a MEW method of cupping, differing vastly from the obsolete proc- ess of plebothomy to which you refer,” said Mr. Dinkston. “Only,’”’ and Mr Dinkston gazed sadly in his empty glass, for this conference was at old man Smith’s dull and costly club, “‘only I'll need a dozen shirts and a box of brass round head paper fasteners. My dancing apparel is safely stored against moth—§$7 with interest.” “I shall be glad to stand all the costs,” \said the boss. .“Anything to prevent l A Conspiracy Is Planned. my wife having dimples dug in her cheeks, or her face skinned, or her pret- ty, piquant, retrousse nose disfigured with a Grecian bump, put under its skin with paraffin. If she gets a Grecian nose I'll get a divorce!” ‘We'll start the anti-beauty treatment right away?’ suggested Mr. Dinkston. ‘The sooner the better,”” remarked the boss. “I’ll get all the anti-beauty shop articles Mr. Dinkston needs.”’ “Then we must go to a roof garden or popular roadhouse where they have dancing,” said Mr. Dinkston. “Cupping is a sure cure for every other form of female foolishness—except cupping.” Mr. Jarr was going to ask further questions, but old Mr. Smith, who had profound respect for Mr. Dinkston’s eagacity to attend to everybody’s busi: ness but his own, motioned Mr. Jarr to say no word to edtract the admirable Dinkston from the task in hand. Amply financed by the boss, Mr. Jarr got Mr. Dinkston’s evening attire and dancing pumps out of the moth-proof | | storage, the moth balls being three in number and golden. Then Mr. Jarr bought Mr. Dinkston a* dozen dress shirts anid a gross of round-head brass paper fasteners. , “I’ve ‘only got one .question to ask,’ remarked Mr. Jarr. ‘“What.in the namzs of goodness do you need a dozen shirts and. a gross of brass paper fasteners for 4n. this affair?’ “Why,” retorted Mr. Dinkston, as he deftly fastened the round-head bras clips. through the buttonholes—bosom, cuff-and collar of all 12 shirts,-“‘doesn’t one need to have’ neat. but: rich- joking: Sateen nentieedienetidl A I A A tM | for the Pos ‘By ROY old Roman gold shirt studs.and.cuff and collar buttons, espectally if one is going ; out dancing night after night?” ‘Sure enough, the brass paper ‘ers ‘made most shirt buttons for evening. attire. | . “But those brass. for acts will tarnish!” remarked Mr. Jarr. “And why « doien shirts?” “You throw away ‘the shirt when. the brass fastcners tarnish,’’ said Mr. Dinks- ton. . “Efficiency!.

The accident happened at night, and the ‘principal witness was an old col- ored man who was on guard armed with a lantern to signal the approach of trains. “Now, John,” said the lawyer, “did you swing your lantern when you saw the cart coming?’’ ‘“Yassir, I sut’nly did, suh, I done swung dat lantern right crost de road.” On the strength of this testimony the lawyer won his case. He took oc- casion to thank the witness. “Much obleeged to you,’ Marse Torm,” replied the worthy. ‘‘I’se pow’ful glad I could he’p yo’. But I was plump secairt dat other lawyer gwine ax me ef dat lantern was lit.’’ Fair Ex HE military maneuvered. noon the attackers had and the defenders defended, with con- spicuous lack of incident or - bravery.
