Bangert of Ferguson, was accidentally shot in the face with a $2- | caliber rifle in the hands of Austin Needham, of about his own agé, yesterday afternoon. The bullet entered below his léft eye, fractured his upper jaw, knocked out three teeth and dropped into his mouth. The two boys and others were play- ing cork ball in front of the Needham home, and in the intervals of the game shooting with the Needham boy’s rifle. When the game was over they went to the pump, in the Needham yard, for a drink. Young Bangert stooped to pick up a tincup and in rising jostiea the] barrel of the rifle, which Needham was carrying under his arm. It was dis- charged. The Bangert boy started to run home, but was taken to the office of Dr. Charles A. Breier, 'who attended him and then took him home.

These charges are vigorously denied by the Democratic organ. Here is the truth as far as the Post-Dispatch is able to ascertain it: Every complaint of fraudulent reg- istration made to the Board of Elec- tion Commissioners has been investi- gated by both the board and the po lice department. ( The net result of these two inde- pendent investigations is that five or six names of men suspected of being fraudulently registered in St. Louis | will go to the grand jury for further | investigation. Three members of the Board of Elec- tion Commissioner—Oscar E. Buder, sive, and Sidney S. May, Democrat— agreed in a statement to a Post-Dis- tlon was freer from fraud than at any other time and that the election of Nov. 38 would be the cleanest in the history Schmoll Before Grand Jury. * The grand jury this afternoon took up | | the registration fraud charges. agg lican City Chairman John Schmoll, who! : made the charges, will be the first wit- |! ness. Democratic City Chairman Mee- han also will be called as a witness. Circuit Attorney Harvey declined to dis- cuss the grand jury investigation fur- ther than to say that it would be thor- ough, and that every complaint that in- dicated that there was fraudulent reg- istration would be investigated. Commissioners’ Buder, Wright and May—Chairman Drabelle being absent— authorized the statement that the Elec- tion Board heard Republican city Chairman Schmoll’s complaint about fraudulent registration and immediately agreed to appoint two men from that office—one a Republican and one a Democrat, to be accompanied by a po- lice officer—to make a recanvass of the districts in which fraud was alleged. This canvass was made. Schmoll was not satisfied with the result. Then the Police Department was requested to make an independent inve@tigation. This was also done. About the Mushroom Hotels. One of the complaints was that a mushroom hotel had been established at 726 Morgan street, and that several names had been registered from it. The three Election Commissioners said their independent canvass showed that all the mén registered from this*number were actually living there and were therefore entitled to register. The same was true, it was agreed, of some other smaller hotels. The five or six instances where fraud- ulent registration is suspected are in different precincts of different wards. There was no indication of wholesale padding of the registration books any- where, it was agreed by the commis- sioners. No instances were found where a vo- ter or groups of voters had been regis- tered in more than one precinct. ee = a i ‘Y it iy in) TT , vey 4 1) un “1 , en be Tae i Ts it possible that some names were on the registration books by oversight which ought not to be there., There was no intention of fraud either on the part of the voter or the clerks who made the canvass, the commissioners said. Dead Men On by Mistake. Election Commissioner May cited one case which illustrated how a name might be improperly left on the regis- tration books. In the Second Precinct of the Twenty-second Ward three broth- ers registered from the same house. The clerks, on visiting the house, in- quired whether the Smiths lived there, and upon being told they did, let the three names stand. One of the men had died some time previous and his name was left on the books. A second canvass disclosed this fact and the name of the dead man was stricken from the books. In instances of this kind and where persons whose names have been left or the books after they had moved out of a precinct, there never has been a sin- gle instance in which the name of the dead man was voted, or attempted to be voted, by anyone else, and the per- sons whose names had been left on the books after they had moved had never in a single instance attempted to vote fraudulently. Criminal intent must be ‘shown to constitute fraudulent registration, ac- The mere fact that election clerks mak- ing a canvass may by accident or care- lessness leave a name on the books that snould be stricken off is no evidence of fraud, and the fact that a man may make a mistake in giving his address when he registers is also no evidence of fraud. One case of that kind was re- ported and investigated, and it was found that the man accused of having fraudulently registered lived directly across the street from the address he had gstven. He had merely made a mistake, which would cost him his vote, unless he had it corrected at the proper time. Clean Heim Cooking. Prepared purposely for particular peo- ple. Superb merchants’ lunch.

CARMAN 1S ONT ON BOND: MAY BE TRIED ACAI EPvccccuber Says Report of Clique in Jury May Cause Him to Press Indictment. TEN FOR ACQUITTAL Defendant Faints on Being Led From Courtroom When Dis- agreement Is Reported. NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, charged with the mur- der of Mrs. Louise Bailey at Freeport, lL. L, was released on $25,000 bail by Justice Charles H. Kelby in the King’s County Supreme Court in Brooklyn this afternoon. She started immediately for Freeport. MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct. %—John J. Graham, counsel for Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, whose trial for the furder of Mrs. Louise Bailey resulted in a disagreement, said today he would demand a new trial or the quashing of the indictment, as he would not permit the indictment to hang over his client. District Attorney Lewis J. Smith at first declared, after the jury had been discharged, that he did not expect to try Mrs. Carman again, but a new de- velopment last night led him to say to- day that he might alter his decision. One of the jurors, it is said, declared, after he was dismissed, that last Thurs- day night, after Mrs. Carman had told her own story on the witness stand, seven or eight members of the jury formed a sort of clique and kept apart from the rest. This group of men, ac- cording to the juror in question, said they had formed their opinion and had decided that they were going to acquit Tthe defendant. The law requires that jurors must not even discuss among themselves a murder case which they are trying until all the evidence is in and the Judge has charged them. “T shall certainly make an inquiry of this matter,’’ declared District Attor- ney Smith when he heard the story. “If I find it to be true it will have a lot to do with the question of releasing Mrs. Carman on bail. Besides it will posi- tively change the complexion of the fu- ture as to a second trial. “T had about made up my mind not to try Mrs. Carman again because I had come to the conclusion it would be im- possible to get a Nassau County jury to agree among themselves one way or the other. But now I don’t know either about bail or the second trial.’’ Ten jurors are said to have voted for acquittal, and two for conviction of murder in the first degree on the final -hallot. The jury was out about thirteen hours. Defendant Near Breakdown. The defendant is on the verge of a complete physical breakdown following a collapse in the courtroom after the jury was discharged. It was said at the Nassau County Jail that Mrs. Ca¥fian had been crying constantly ever since she was returned to her cell. The jury retired at 9:45 o’clock Satur- day night and returned finally at 10:50 o’clock Sunday morning. Several times during the night and morning it was be- lieved a verdict had been reached. Once “the jury wanted coffee. Another time it € | E Fa | 2 2 ~ ' gppointed. wanted cigars and again it desired breakfast. Each time the jury returned the defendant was sent for. When the jury re-appeared for the last time Mrs. Carman was followed through the door at the rear of the Judge’s bench by her sister, Mrs. Ida Powell, and her niece, Mrs. Helen Corby. Dr. Edwin Carman, the de- fendant’s husband, who had been sit- ting in the courtroom conversing with friends, joined his wife at the counsel | table. Mrs. Carman appeared tired. Her hair was disheveled and her formerly immaculate costume wrinkled. Dissatisfaction was plainly written on the faces of the jurors when they filed in from thé room where the~ had been deliberating. When Justice Kelby as- cended the bench, Robert Ludlum, fore- man, spoke without any formality or introduction. _ % “We have been arguing for eight or nine hours,” said he almost sullenly, “and we have been conversing for the balance of the time. We cannot agree. We have had no sleep.” “T am in the same boat with you,” replied Justice Kelby. ‘I have not slept, either.”’ “But we have been arguing,” respond- ed the foreman. No Dispute Over Evidence. At the suggestion of John J. Graham, », Mrs. Carman’s chief counsel, Justice ’ Kelby asked the jury whether it was the evidence they could not agree upon. “Tt is not a question of evidence, Your Honor,” replied John H. Moly- neaux, juror No. 9. ““We have gone over the evidence very carefully and we can- not reach a verdict.” The Justice then discharged the jury. As the jurors. without further ado, returned to the room where they had been deliberating to get their hats and coats, Mrs. Carman burst into tears. They quickly passed out without glanc- ing at the defendant. “Yl am so sorry Mra. Carman,” Graham, her attorney, said. “Oh,” she replied, “I am terribly dis- I felt sure the jury would Mr. acquit me.” Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Corby then took charge of Mrs. Carman. They assisted her, half slumping. half walking, her hands to her eyes, out of the courtroom and into the chambers at the rear. Her _ husband followed closely behind. It was “noticeable that his wife seemed to be entirely unaware of his presence. bsicis Sarg At TR Sa ee fay ee ee es . | majority of the votes cast on the AMENDMENT NO. 1.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I used to believe the law a bulwark of justice, a sure protector of the widow and orphan, an in- corruptible defender af the rights of humanity, but anent the Campbell will, we realize that any claimant, responsible or irresponsible, has it n his power to take a huge and complicated vstate out of the trained and competent hands in which its owner left it, and place it In the control of any Tom, Dick or Harry that the whim of a presiding judge may select, we can only look upon it with exasperation, contempt and disgust. To the layman it seems that this action of the learned judge can benefit absolutely no one but the aforesaid T., D. or H. and it is equivalent to presenting him with a tidy fortune. No doubt he is duly grateful, but if the claim- ants’ case is thrown out of court what redress will the harrassed and distressed defendants have? ~~~ None that will be visible to the naked eya Oh, yes, the law is a fine thing for the lawyers, but for thé résf of us thé ldw “df*the jungle is more equitable.

Having heard of no activity on its part I have come to the conclusion that there is no such activity. Are not we, the voters, to hav® the benefit of the advice of that self-constituted director of the public welfare? How shall we make up our minds; how shall we know for whom to vote: how shall we weather the storm of con- flicting arguments and personalities, if we are not guided by that Beacon of Beacons?

WEBER, 2711-Blair avenue. , ' ' : bute the line i It is suggested that early Christmas shopping, started at once or at any rate in the beginning of November, will help the workers in the fol- lowing ways: Instead of compelling store managers to put on a big extra force for a couple of weeks just before Christmas, the increased business spread over two months will cause an increase in the army of workers that will be steady and hence better for workers and employers. There will be no terrible exhaustion due to rush and over- work, And the shopping public will be greatly benefited by better service and the opportunity for a more careful choice of Christmas goods. Hivery arrangement that can be made for the good of the workers this winter will pay for itself in the prevention of unmerited distress. = = ™ ~ — = SHAKSPEARH AND THE REST OF US. If, as the manager ofthe Deutsches Theater at Berlin is reported to have said, Shakspeare is not to be banished from the Fatherland on account of the war, because, as Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg said, “he belongs to the whole world,” that fact ought to serve as a beginning of a better understanding as to all the rest of us.. As the Boston Globe remarks, Wagner, Goethe, Beethoven and Schiller also “belong to all_man- kind.” The same is true of the rest of the army of noble souls of every country, now at war or peace. Genius is greater than national boun- daries. It is universal. But so is common sense; so is common hon- esty; so is common industry; so is morality, the home, fatherhood, motherhood and the vir- tues that make life worth living. “Of one blood hath He made all the nations of the earth.” If Shakspeare and Scott and Dickens and Goethe and Beethoven and Balzac and Dostoievsky and the dther stars of the first magnitude may shine undimmed by sulphur fumes and powder smoke, why may not we, the millions of lesser lights? Shall we claim a brotherhood for them which we deny ourselves? CLEVELAND STILL A 3-CENT CITY. The Post-Dispatch, in common with many other papers, was misled some weeks ago by an ap- parently authentic report from Cleveland, stat- ing that city had found it necessary to let its street railway system raise fares from 8 to 4 cents, in order to pay the 6 per cent dividends authorised by the agreement between the city and the company. "We are indebted to the Providence Journal for a correction, and for the explanation that the inaccurate report was set afloat by “street rail- road ‘magnates’” who desired to make the coun- try believe Cleveland’s 3-cent fare experiment had falled. ‘ The truth as stated by the Journal is that: The standard fare in Cleveland is still 3 cents. The only change made, and it is deemed only a temporary relief measure, is one permitting the company to retain the penny which it has heretofore returned to the passenger presenting a transfer from one line to another. Under the 8-cent rule “the company hes prospered amasingly, and so many improve- ments have been effected that Cleveland now has undoubtedly the best street railway fa- cllities in the country.”’. All cars are of all-steel construction. Rails “are maintained at a maximum of ef- ficiency.” The company “has gone 10 years ahead of the times in extending its trackage into thinly settled outlying regions,” to develop traffic by stimulating suburban home developmcnt. It hag “built elaborate car barns, of alto- gether néedless magnificence, thus managing to use up ite surplus and render plausible a plea for an increase in rates.” The Journal sums up the Cleveland experi- embodying so much of the original Australian bossism. = = ~~ — S The new Union Station at Kansas City, which a huge mausoleum with a rectangular portico of a different architectural style tacked on in front, and in the back an addition that looks a good deal like St. Louis’ new jail building.

He would acquire a farm jn Calloway County opposite Jefferson City with which he would thaintain convenient access from the prison by means of a fe’ryboat on the Missouri River. In the prison workshops he would install a can- ning factory plant to which crops of fruit and the more perishable vegetables would be trans- ferred across the river to be canned in huge quantities for use in the various State institu- tions. That the plan has taken form to this extent indicates progress. Something more than gen- eral recommendations in the executive message ‘ao the Legislature in January is foreshadowed. A prison farm will -help to solve the problems created by the abolition of the vicious contract labor system. : It will abate penitentiary evils that have shocked the public, lessen overcrowding and check the ravages of prison tuberculosis. Prompt legislative action can put the plan into effect by the opening of the season for spring plowing and planting. = = — THE CLOVER LEAF RECEIVERSHIP. The fact that the application for a Clover Leaf receivership is due to default on $11,527,000 worth of collateral trust bonds, issued seven years ago to buy the Chicago & Alton, has sig- nificance for the public. The road’s compact system of 450 miles of tracks connecting St. Louis with Toledo and Detroit has a profitable share in the great east and west traffic. In 1907 its net earnings were $1,279,204 and its surplus $645,096 and it was capitalized at $38,000,000, of which $18,000,000 was in bonds. But in that year high finance unloaded onto it the water-logged Chicago & Alton system, milked by the Harriman interests. For $14,420,000 of the common and $6,480,000 of the preferred C. & A. stock, the Clover Leaf issued this $11,527,000 worth of new bonds on which it finds itself unable to pay interest this year. Its own capitalization was increased 26 per cent and its-interest charge $461,000 to pur chase control in a system with only twice as much trackage but with more than three times as much capitalization, or $115,707,060. The Clover Leaf’s embarrassment cannot all be attributed to causes of recent date. Some date back to 1907. Would those causes exist if we had had Government supervision of rail- road securities during the last seven years? = = i i In Towa and Nebraska the railroads are en- couraging the farmers to make use of the waste lands along the rights of way to raise alfalfa. Missouri has a good many thonsand acres of virgin land lying idle along its railroad rights of way. Why not extend to Missouri farmers the privilege of utilizing this land? It would save the roads much expense in weed cutting every year. = = Tam With Nature. From the Kansas City Times. An apple grown in a bottle is being exhibited by a Carroll County orchardist.

THE COUNTERSIGN OF SERVICER. RED ruin—wreck of impious war— Effaces beauty years have gained, Denies ideals so long maintained. Charged with the Master’s higher law— And bathe thy soul in blood! | MR. KNOX’S OWN RECORD, From the Springfield Republican. Coming from former Secretary Knox, an attack on President Wilson's refusal to recognize Gen. Huerta forces a com- parison with the last administration's refusal to recognize a President of Nica- ragua. Mr. Knox is in an unfortunate position to criticise President Wlison’s Mexican policy. In refusing to recog- nize Huerta, says Mr. Knox im hia Philadelphia speech, “the United States undertook to ‘examine the fitness of a foreign ruler for his post and to pass upon the legitimacy and constitutional- ity of his elevation to that position.’”’ So unsound a doctrine Mr. Knox is now un- able to indorse. He repudiates it with all possible vigor. Yet precisely that doctrine the former Secretary applied to the case of Presi- dent Madriz, who had succeeded Presi- | dent Zelaya in Nicaragua. President Madriz was recognized by the great Powers of Europe, precisely as Huerta was. But Secretary Knox's policy of nonrecognition and palpable hostility drove Madriz from office. In short, Sec- retary Knox undertook to examine the fitness of a foreign ruler for his post, and he did pass upon the legitimacy and constitutionality of ais elevation to that position. Mr. Knox now manifests something like horror over the seizure of Vera Cruz. But, in accordance with his own policy, 200 American marines landed in Nicaragua and actually participated n a battle on Nicaragua soll, thus decid- ing the issue of a domestic revolution by the use of American military force. American soldiers were stationed at the Nicaraguan capital to maintain Mr. Knox’s choice of a President in office. They are still there. Before retiring from the post of Secre- tary of State, moreover, Mr. Knox sent a diplomatic note to the Nicaragua Gov- ernment, and to the governments of some other Latin-American states, stat- ing that the United States’ would strong ly support all duly constituted good governments in those countries, but that it would exert its force, physical and moral, against selfishly inspired revo lutions. Secretary Knox applied this principie nore drastically in Nicaragua than the present administration has ap- plied it in Mexico. Mr. Knox seems to be the last person who can consistently attack President Wilson's Mexican policy. His own reo- ord is in the way. ‘ A TYPS OF THE STANDPAT MA- CHINB. From the Kansas City Staz.

WAS raised among the plantations of Southern Alabama, had an old black mammy, and was imbued with all the superstitions of my foster- mother. And though I’ve lived to have many of them knocked out of me, there are some that have worked in deeper than the skin. There was an old “cun- jah” (conjure) nigger on my father’s plantation when I was a lad, and I be- Heved just as firmly in his miraculous powers as I now trust in the efficacy of a recently décided case, Why, I’ve seen him do things that would make your hair stand on end, and that no book of philosophy I’ve ever read could account for.

T was called on to defend a negro for killing his wife. He had lived happily with her until he had the misfortune to lose his leg in falling from the roof of a house—he being a carpenter by trade. After this his wife seemed to have lost affection for him. One day he came to town. purchased a pistol, de- liberately walked up to his wife, put the pistol against her bosom, and shot her five times: then stumped away. leaving her dead, with her clothing burning. Well, he sent for me to come to the jail and arrange about his defense, and 1 frankly told him T saw but little chance to prevent his being hanged. Not a single minute did that darkey wait before breaking out in a _ loud horse-laugh. . “O, Lawd, Colonel,” said he, ain't a bit o’ danger o’ dat.” “The blazes, there ain’t!” said TI. “What's goin’ to keep a jury of good and lawful men from stretchin’ that yaller neck o’ yours. I would like to know. Why, niggah! there ain’t enough lawyers in Alabama to save you!” — “Why, Colonel,” said he, “I've got a “cunjah charm on me, made by old Cato Feels, that’s a sartin ’ventive o’ death; you just go "long and make your pora- tion an’ your "jections, an’ I’ll come out all right.” “! Prepared the Defense.” T WAS no use talking to the fellow, “dar and so I prepared the best defense I could under the circumstances, My client eyed the jury closely during the trial, and once when I happened to be disconcerted at a sudden artful move of the prosecution, he leaned over and whispered to me: “Tt’s all right, Colonel; I got conjah stuff for six o’' dem jurymen, and I'd get plum clear ef I could have got ‘nuff for de odder six. You jes rar an’ pitch; dey can’t hang me!” The judge gave a terribly ' bloody, vindictive charge, and when the jury retired I felt it would be a matter of but a few hours with my client’s neck. Greatly to my astonishment, the jury didn’t come back the first day, nor on the next, and it was whispered over town that six of the panel were for ac- quittal! | You could have knocked me down with a feather. The jury after four days came back, and sentenced him to the State farm for six years! . The negro gave me a deed to hia lit- tle home, a mile from the town, as a fee: there were about two acres of land, a fine well of water, and a comfortable cabin on it. I tried to rent the cabin, but couldn't get a darky to occupy it for love nor - money—they all said it was haunted. In the meantime, my client went to the State penitentiary, and, after arriving there, he wrote me that I'd have to get some conjure doctor to “obeah’’— > Pan 15 ‘ : ed cy that is, remove the spell from the house, A000 MEDICINE. FOR POOR BLOOD Mrs. Brunson of Bellefontaine, Ohio, Believes Vinol Is the Best Remedy in the World. ‘Her Personal Experience. “My blood was very poor and I was in a weak, nefvous, run-down condition. 1 tried different medi- cines without benefit and one day my druggist told me about Vinol.

My next tenant was a furnace hand, with six children, and he stayed only one night; said there were too many colored women stand- ing around the cabin at night to suit him. The neighbors wouldn’t draw water from the well after dusk. They claimed the man’s wife came to the well and helped ’em, and that when they lifted the bucket there was always a smell of burnt clothing on top of the water in the bucket. They even showed a lot of burnt rags to prove it. The Cabin Is Torn Down. INALLY I got mad and had the - cabin torn down, and every ves- tige of the timber burnt up, and i built two new and modern cottages about 100 yards west of the former lo- cation, and quite near a public street. But all my tenants in the new houses remained but a-few days, and then “folded up their tents like the Arab.’’ Well, I was at my wits’ end. About this time I received another letter from the negro in the penitentiary, asking if the place had been “‘obeaed,” and urging that I employ old Cato Feels to fix it so the ghosts wouldn’t walk there. That came like an inspiration, and I sent a nigger © miles with a horse and buggy to fetch the old ras- cal. He arrived three days later—but he wouldn’t put foot on the place until midnight on the first night the moon began to wane. I went there with him on the night selected, and the Mayor and two drum- mers accompanied me. The old darky had on a red wool blanket, which he wore Mexican-poncho fashion, a queer kettle-looking iron hat, and was barefooted and barelegged. He made us all stand at least 10 yards away from him, and charged us partic- ularly not to come close to him while the charm was working. He squatted down on the ground, and for about 15 minutes he chanted or crooned the most outlandish gibberish I ever heard. After a while he arose, and taking a short, black, thick wand from under his blanket, he walked 10 steps back- wards, and stooping over, he began to draw, upside down, on the ground, the familiar diagram that the children used io use in playing the old outdoor game, “*thop-scotch.”’ “| Break the Spell.” N each corner of this diagram he | placed small dolls made of the resin of the pine tree, figures fashioned rudely like a woman, and stooping over them he blew his breath on them, and all at once each of those puppets broke out into flame as quickly as a sky- rocket, and continued burning as long as we stayed. ; Around all this he drew a large circle, still walking backward, and mumbling in an undertone in a way to make your flesh crawl. I got so fnterested that I couldn’t stay away from near the old sorcerer, and inadvertently I stepped into the ring old Cato had: drawn; immediately I felt a hot streak run down my leg, heard the horse-laugh of my client break out exactly as it had in the jail, and old Cato fell to the ground as if lightning struck, We poured cold water on the old fel- low, and when he got so that he could talk, he bitterly upbraided me for break- ing the charm, saying that the spe]! would now work backwards. And I’m willing to be branded as a monumental Ananias all over America if every night you can't hear at that spot the familiar hobble of the fellow that I know to be safe in the peniten- tiary' walls; you can hear his laugh, and you can see a track of rings as round as & dollar, that no rain will erase, and punctuated with the dot and carry, the dent of the wooden leg and the flat foot of the negro. running around that spot. In the hop-scotch ring there has grown up a red flower, strange in these parts, but which the florists pronounce an African tiger lily, and by which the sharp outline of the ring is as well pre- served as if a gardener had carefully planted ther. Recently L had a letter from the war- den of the penitentiary, saying that every evening just at sundown his pris. oner dropped into a cataleptic sleep, from which no power could awaken him until the next day at dawn.

ARY laid the morning mail beside MI Jack’s plate, at breakfast, as usual. “Ah, a letter from Janet!” “Someone must he sick!’’ “Open it quickly!” I urged, as he _said. he ‘Just as I feared. It’s mother!”’ and he read the letter, saying nothing more, then passed it to me. “Mother has not been well for somey time,’”’ Janet wrote. ‘‘Nothing particular seems to be the matter, but she grows thinner and weaker all the time. She has kept around until the last two or three days, but is now in bed. We have our old doctor, and are, of course, doing all possible for her. “Why don’t you run over and see her? I’m sure Mr. Flam would let you off.’’ **I MIGHT go Saturday! Yes, I believe I will,” again looking at Janet's letter. I busied myself for a little packing Jack’s bag. It was Friday, and if he decided to go he would want to take it into town with him in the morning. When Jack came in to dinner he looked very tired, but told me he had decided to go to Boston. “T thought you would, your bag.’”’ “Thank you, dear,’’ and throwing him- self on the couch he did not speak again until we were at dinner. We remained at home that evening, but Jack was very uneasy, wandering from one room to another. I proposed cards, therl offered to read to him, but he said he wasn’t in the mood for either, so finally I proposed we take a walk. “That’s a good idea, Sue! We'll take a good brisk walk, and maybe I will sleep better.””’ He had not slept well for some time. “Jack Was Quiet and Morose.”” E took a long walk, almost:a si- lent one. Usually we chatted when together, but that night neither of us seemed to feel like talk- so I packed ing. As we neared home, after having been out an hour or more, we met Harry Eberhardt. He insisted upon our going home with him and having a game of bridge. I was about to refuse, but Jack forestalled me by accepting eagerly. “T’m rather in the dumps tonight, old man,” he told Harry, “but if you don’t mind a death’s-head I'd enjoy the game.’* “I shall mind if you DON’T come, and so will Fanny. I was ordered to bring you back with me without fail.” After we -commenced to play Jack was very quiet, almost morose. But as we had told them of his mother’s illness they, I think, laid it to that, and were kindness itself, doing every- thing in their power to cheer him up. We remained until late, Fanny in- sisting that we have a bite of supper before we left. While I was in the dining room with her, helping lay the table—the maids had retired—I heard Harry cautioning Jack about ‘Forty- second street.’’ “As I told surely get you enough,”’ [ couldn't hear Jack’s reply, al- though I strained my ears to catch it. At breakfast the next morning he remarked: “If anyone should call me on the phone, or any messages come for me, you needn’t say where I am, Sue. Just tell whoever calls that I am out. And, Sue, you better answer the phone your- self while I’m away'!”’ “Very well.

I wish Clifton could make as much as Jack does. I nearly die of envy when I think of you with this lovely home, your au- tomobiles and everything!’’ “How are you and Clifton getting along?” I asked, flattered by her en- vious speech. “Oh, just the same as ever! I sup- of what he did, but we don’t. Not any more. Of course, I haven't speculated again; can’t get the money! Clifton Pays all the ‘bills; says ‘it saves me from temptation.’ ‘Do you know, Sue”’—she blushed— ‘it was the best thing that ever hap- pened when Clifton advertised he wouldn’t pay my debts? “Really, it was, although it seemed hard at the time. I was developing into a regular gambler. On a small scale of course. A PIKER. But just the game it was getting an awful hold on me. I cared more about that old ticker than anything else in the world, and neglected my house, and every- thing else, for it; even my friends. But I was too proud to hang around an of- fice when I had no money. So I grad- ually lost the desire.’’ After luncheon she played with the children for a long time; then proposed we go over and call on Nell. “T haven't seen her in an age, Sue.” “Neither have I.” “But you live so near!” “T know. But I’m in an entirely dif- ferent set here at the Terrace. Nell is hopelessly out of society, you know.’ Yes, she never carad. much for s0- ciety.

In fact, the telephone only rang once, and that was from Mrs. Holman, asking me over. Sunday night, I became _ desperate, and asked Harry and Fanny over. |! wished afterward I hadn't. I was obliged to make 80 many excuses for Jack’s absence. “Where's the boss?’’ Harry asked as they came in. “He had to go out a while and I was lonely,’’ I told him. I knew from Harry’s expression that he did not believe me; but I could think of nothing else to say. “I’m glad you asked us,” Fanny said. “We were boring each other to death.” “What ails Jack lately?’ Harry in- quired. *“‘He doesn’t act a bit like him- self. I don’t believe he is well. Per- haps he is working too hard.” “I don't think so, not just now,” I answered. ‘‘He did overdo a while back, and doesn’t seem to get rested. That's one reason we have stopped going out and entertaining so much for a while.” “I think you're wise. But he'd bet- ter take care of himself or he’ll have a breakdown. The boys were talking about it over at the club last night. By the way, what's the reason you wercn't over?” “Oh, I—I had a headache,” I replied, stumblingly. “That was too bad. Everybody was there.

The Sandman Story for Tonight. By Mrs. F. A. Walker. ~ RES C) youth named Joel, who did all he could to help his mother, who was a widow and had to work to take Care of herself and son. One day after becoming very angry with Joel, his mother said, “You shall not have a morsel to eat untfl you go to the woods and gather faggots to make the fire. Then I will cook you the cabbage I brought back from the village.” Joel took his cap from the peg behind the door and started off. His mother called after him to hurry or the sun would set before he returned with the wood. NCE upon a time there lived i When Joel reached the forest he saw by the roadside just before he turned into the forest an old woman asleep with her head resting on a stone. “Poor old lady,” thought Joel, “she looks tired and I know that stone must hurt her head. I will make a pillow of my coat and put it under her head.” - When he had gathered the faggots and was returning he passed again the place where the old woman was sleeping and as she was still asleep he did not awaken her to get his coat. “Where is your coat?” asked his mother when he reached home, and when he told her he had made a pil- low of it ‘for the old woman, she ecolded him roundly and said: ‘“‘Now you will go without a coat all the win- ter, and if you are cold don’t blame me,”” OEL did not think any more about the coat until it became cold weath- er, and one morning he went out of hig house shivering as the cold wind struck him, and wishing he had his coat. Great was his surprise when he saw hanging on a tree in front of the house the very coat he had put under the nead of the old woman in the summer. Joel puteit on and rah into the house to show his mother. “Look, mother,” he said, “here is my coat back at the very time I needed it, and it has a new, warm lining. I “but now that you have a Warm coat, you better go into the forest and see if you can find faggots enough to keep us warm for another day. I do nox know what will become ef ug: we have no wood to make a fire to keep us iréia freezing."’ “Never fear, mother,” answered Joel. “I will find some wood” And off he went to the forest. “I wish I had a nice, warm pair of mittens,” thought Joel, whose hands were cold, and no sooner had ho wished than upon his hands appeared a pair of thick mittens. JEL looked at them in a stupid way and thought: “I must have had them on all the time and did not know it.” When he began to look for faggots he found only a few stray pleces— scarcely an armful. ‘Oh, dear, I wish I could find a cartioad to take to poor mother,” he sighed. And then Joel rubbed his eyes and Stared, for on the ground before him he saw a cart full of faggots. ‘How will I get them home?” thought Joel. “I have a cart full of faggots, but [ have no horse to draw them.

By Herbert Reed, Post-Dispatch’s Eastern , Authority. NEW YORK, Oct. &. 7"HERE has been a deliberate but not yet successful effort made to revive the onside kick. Both Princeton and Dartmouth tried it Saturday, and I am inclined to think that one team or an- other will realize how valuable it is in offensive territory. If the kick is not recovered, it at least is likely to go out of bounds well down in the other eleven’s territory and to that event should prove a valuable as- set on fourth down if the field general decides that he would rather put the opposing eleven ‘‘in a hole’ than to seek a score by the aerial method. If one ig after a score of some kind, aim- ing at the goal is perhaps the best bet; but if after a touchdown, the drive into the corner, with a bare chance of picking up the ball, is the best meth- od. Both Princeton and Dartmouth worked hard for it on Saturday and both came very close to making it go. Tigers Scare Dartmouth. Seriously threatened in the second half, and oftentimes in danger, Prince- ton’s last kick was a beauty, putting the Hanover men in as serious a situa- tion as a team could expect to be placed. Had the kick been recovered by a man onside there would have been another touchdown for the ore. As it waa, it gave Princeton the w hand, no mat- ter what the Green elected to do. The Dartmouth a e of ga was as powerful as was to qxpecte: of such sterling material, but I am convinced that the lack of generalship should not in many ways one of the finest quarters the game has seen, but upon the o The Dart- mouth men seemed to have not the slightest idea of down and distance and their relative value, any more than Yale against Washington and Jeffer- son. e acted like a man who had never been taught -to run the game right before. More than once he let the ball go on down. Two Serious Blunders. In the main Ames ran his team much better than Ghee, but he made two se- rious mistakes that might have cost him dear had it been later in the sea- gon. Once he squarely muffed a punt, but there can be no doubt that it was a difficult ball to handle. Again, on first down in opponents’ territory, he took it upon himself to jam twice into the line. Doubtless he figured that, having made a touchdown that way, the play was worth repeating. He was however, too far away from the goal line, I think, to take such a chance twice In succession. For the most part. however, he picked his kicking well, and for the most part Briggs and Law came up to expectations. Yale was a very serious offender in the matter of letting the ball go on downs and it appears and is apparen: that the grounds were not_up to ex- pectations. It is robbing Myf ee ge and Jefferson of little or re 3 redit for their victory to say that Yale ends are still easy to circle —_? } eg the end problem at New Haven from Washington Jefferson with remarkable material some ns from hither an ere is no doubt that ew Haven caught t thing approaching 6 | a ae bott, a natural leade Football Blue ump. was out of the aggre- — was probably in none too good shape.

State college generalship seems to have been of the best much of the time, and oddly enough Harvard developed a new habit—that of letting the ball go on downs. One thing the Crimson did show —the ability to come fast and far at the finish. Incidentally that has be. come too common recently to be con- sidered merely a matter of luck. Unfortunately for Michigan the Ann Arbor men went down to overwhelming defeat before Syracuse, one of the strongest teams in the East, and a team that would make trouble for anyone. “Buck” O'Neill, the old Williams man, working with good material, seems to have turned out an eleven that is not nlone heavy, but fast and versatile.

HE soccer war is not’ only on, as proved Sunday, when the Federal League football organization started op- erations, but there is no chance of it being off. Seven or eight men hurdled from Robison Field to Handlan’s Park, after jumping the other way the Sunday previously. The situation means little beyond cut- ting the pie in such small portions that the players can’t be satisfied, which means the stuff will soon be off. Loser: Dear Old Public, contributor in chief. o ° = OR developing jumpers and hurdlers, soccer beats baseball. And _ the scale of pay is distressingly low. For example, eight players jumped from the eral League to Robison Field for 196. They Sande the round trip by back again for %3.%. The chances are they'd jump a $600 a month job for $10 a week. B.—Men with $500 a week positions usually make good football material. At least they do a lot of kicking around any office.) Those Hopeful Feds. HE Feds refuse to let Old Man Grump alight. The magnates are there with the smile stuff, even when matters look as though Organized Base- ball had turned the cold face on peace propositions. However, there’s many a grouch beneath the smiles you see, in : day’s work. The situation is bright — for Organized Baseball nor the . jumping It looks like * lean year in 1915. The chief worry of the Feds ought to be the fact that there is — no chance for them to break into the world’s series argument, at the close of each baseball year. Without that climax to a season, no league can ever gain the seri- ous attention of the whole Amer- fean baseball public. Hitting the Pipe. LL that ‘‘peace’’ talk in connection with baseball was merely a “pipe.’’ It was pretty thoroughly smoked, too. Temporarily the pews out, with the situation as regards peace in statu quo. That is: Each side is willing to end hostilities. If the other fellow will sign away Federal Leag ue has made it plain’ that it will NOT come into the fol less on its own terms, to-wit: Major ition.

In _ other words, they'll be scraping the bottom of the sock, And some of these have pretty big holes in them now. | Feds Must Ruin Rivals to Win. HE Federals have a stiff task out- lined, if they hope to beat Organ- ized Baseball. Their circuit, as at pres- ent constituted, can onl made per- manent by forcing two Organized Base- ball clubs completely out of existence, St. Louis and Chicago. Three major teams in one city sonnet survive; and if the Feds win, it wil mean they have bankrupted the St. Louls and Chicago rivals in one -or the other leagues. That’s a victory that even the most ardent rooter for the new organiza- tion will admit ig practically impos- sible. The nearest thing to a major league- line-up that the organized forces could be expected to consent to would be something like this: Brooklyn Baltimore Washington Pittsburg Cincinnati Detroit Cleveland Buffalo. In these ‘ cities non-conflicting schedules could be arranged and the existing major league teams not in- jured to any great extent. 7 * 7 The O-B’s Danger. T must not be supposed ‘that Organ-" ized Baseball has any cinch on win- ies the fight. The money bags of the | time’ show are sadly depleted al- ready. But the grave menace to the structure built up around the National Agreement lies in the restlessness of the minor leagues. These have fared badly and are in extremely shaky con- dition, even among the larger organiza- tion. The International League is stag- gering around as though Sam Langford had landed one on its solar plexus. If the minors break with the trust and start an open house, the major leagues will be in a_ serious plight— something like that of a railroad train if a trestle were blown from under it. It’s a lovely little. picture with “COLLAPSE” written large on eithar side of that straight and narrow way. COMPROMISE. There lies the solution of the agony. a Michigan’s Hopes Flee. HAT the West is in no danger of wresting the football crown from the East was evidenced Saturday when Michigan University was humbled con- clusively by a second-rate eleven, that of Syracuse. Indications are that at ..10Eastern.elevens could defeat Yale's outfit, as it appeared against the Syracusans. And there are those who think a bunch of Westerners could turn the trick, such as Nebraska, Illinois and Notre Dame. Nebraska gave a tremen- dous trouncing, 2#4—0, to the Michigan Aggies, a team that Michigan beat by a field goal with the very nattiest eleven Yost could put in the field try- ing, too. Eastern football is more soundly ela gen than Western, especially in field generalship and defensive polish. SAYS ROBBERS TE HIM 10 TREE, TOOK HIS AUTO AND $220 Vahan Kezerian, 2 years old, of 215 Pacific street, Granite City, told police he was overpowered at 10 o’clock today on the road between Woodriver and East Alton by three men who had hiretl him to take them in his automobile from Granite City to St. Peters. He said they gagged him, bound him to 4 tree and took $223 and two checks from him, after which they jumped into his automobile and drove away in the direc- tion of Staunton. Keserian, in telling his story to the police, said that just before he was at- tacked the men told him they - had robbed @ bank and needed his automo- bile to escape. The three men went to the garage of John Daboe at Granite City in the morn- ing and said they wanted to be taken to he agreed to take them. One of the. men rode in the seat beside Kezerian and the.other two sat in the tonneau. As they were passing through a small patch of woods the man sitting beside Keszerian told him about their being bank robbers, and would “ave to take his automobile in, which to make their ercape.

He said the key to the solution to many of the problems of rural life wiN be found in some form of concentrated ac- tion or co-operation. “Some form of organization is as in- evitable as it is desirable;’’ he said. Secretary Houston said the question of meat supply had been considered largely in regard to the big ranch and the larger animals, but that the largest hope lies in three other directions. These, he said, are attention to the production of larger animals in settled farming communities, especially in the South, and in attention to hogs and poultry, and the eradication of cattle ticks and hog cholera. WATTS NOT EXPECTED TO BE BANK GOVERNOR In financial circles today it was said F. O. Watts would not become the Gov- jernor of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, but would retain the presidency of the Third National Bank. Watts had nothing to say when asked for a statement. Watts’ recent presence in Washing- ton, with directors of the Federal Re- serve Board from other parts of the country in conference with Secretary McAdoo, led to the report he would be governor of the local bank. A meeting will be held this afternoon to determine the location of the reserve bank. Temporary quarters will be Sought, which later will be replaced by a permanent one. the Mississippi Valley Trust Co., chair- man of the subcommittee which will se- lect the temporary location, new bank will not be located in the Federal Building, as it will be a bank conducted and owned by the other banks | Sept of its district, although under Federal supervision.

YORK, Nov. %6.-The- Evening "he its copyrighted financial re- view, today, says: “Developments in the foreign ex- change situation, today, were of ni h importance. Sight bills on London, the rate for which was falling on mateeden so rapidly as to make it difficult to keep track of the market, got down by noon today to 4.91. That rate compares with 4.91% late on Saturday, with 4.95 last Friday, and with 4.97 a week ago. “Today’s rate is by far the lowest quoted in this market since the Euro- pean war broke out; the previous mini- mum being 4.92%, in the middle of Sep- tember. What is still more to the point, today’s rate is — 2 cents in the pound above normal figures. ; “While exchange on London was de- clining in this manner, the quoted price for Berlin exchange continued its real- ly sensational movement in our favor. A week ago today it stood at 92%, and that was more than 1 point below the usual gold import level, which is around 93%. It touched 89 today—a rate which on a rough basis of comparison would seem to be equivalent to 4.60 for ex- change on London. “The significance of today’s extraor- dinary rate for German exchange may be judged from the fact in November, 1907, when we were selling our export goods in any quantity and at any price to draw on Europe and relieve our own money panic, and when sight sterling went to 4.82%, the rate for reichsmarks stood at 935%. “This notable movement of the mar- ket for international exchange, in favor of this country, has been in no respect a result of operations by the bankers’ gold pool. p tages agree Buy ye ‘‘For a week past people touch with that market have been aware that the pressure of exchange bills against actual exports has been rapidly increasing. To what extent this was due to the pre- vious holding back of drafts against our abnormally large wheat exports is a matter of conjecture; but the present movement bears quite unmistakable signs of being caused by large purchases we BP wee ge hl shipment of other com- ies than grain. ein at least a considerable measure this buying has represented the urgent European demand which our markets prematurely reckon ‘on in August, and of which in the two disappointing months which followed, they had al- most abandoned hope. But that is the way in which such things usually hap- pen. “What has bend been overlooked, in the despondency of the past eight weeks, is that our market has been pay- ing in gold for such of our maturing obligations in the international security market as were really pressing, and that we were doing so, in a season of the year when normally we should have been importing large amounts of gold. ‘The se of our cotton exports had at least been subjected to discus- sion that elicited proposals which, if successful, would have brought partial solution of the dilemma. “Today's news from Washington fixed a date only three weeks off for the establishment of the regional central banks, with the very large re- lease of reserve money for other pur- poses which should then ensue. “The foreign exchange market has plainly recognized these factors in the situation, but it has also, and perhaps more distinctly, recognized that we may have been as far astray in our recent pessimism over our interna- tional situation, as we were in our jubilation during August, over our new opportunities in the export trade. “Quite aside from the question of new fields for our exported merchan- dise, the exchange market is presum- ably showing a more or less belated belief in the maxim which was pro- foundly impressed upon it during 1907 —that when the United States is forced by urgent need to expand its gales to the outside world and cur- tail its foreign purchases, something happens. ‘Tt is proverbial, in financial Eu- rope, that when "America takes to wearing its old clothes, the balance of indebtedness swings about pretty rapidly. We have yet to see exactly how the process will be effected un- der the present abnormal circum- stances. “At present, Europe itself is the heavy buyer here, and is not likely on the whole to buy less as the war goes rhis statement applies as well to Germany as to France or England.
