Kinsey of the Board of Pub- lic Service breaking a bottle of beer on it. Mayor Kiel and a party of city offi- clals were guests of the United Railways Co. on a private car, which is generally used for specially chartered trolley par- ties during the summer. It started ex- actly at 12 o’clock from Twelfth and Spruce streets with the Mayor at the controller, coached by a qualified motor- man. The car moved off nicely, with a couple of cars for the common people following. A.stop was made half way across and President Kinsey carried a bottle of beer to the railing and smashed the bot- tle on a post. (N.

At the Cherokee line’s terminus at the southwestern city limits, the recent- ly completed improvement of Gravois avenue from Grand avenue to the limits, was inspected. President Kinsey ex- plained that the United Railways Co. had co-operated in the improvement by | replacing the flat rails with T-rails. The party left the car here and looked over the neighborhood. Theodore Keller of 4851 Allemania avenue discovered the Mayor’s presence and confided to Col. Martin Collins that he had some com- plaints tc make. Colling told him: to go oz and make them, but to talk German to the Mayor, because he understood En- glish very imperfectly. Keller talked it a mile a minute, and it was some time before the Mayor found out what the trouble was. There were two kinds of trouble. Keller ob- jected to the odor from the River Des Peres and objected to being assessed $240 for a sewer which he could not use because his house was on a terrace. The Mayor told him he would look into both matters. Inspect Another Viaduct. The party then went to have a look at the new Tower Grove viaduct. The party included C. M.

The Twelfth Street Viaduct was be- gun 22 months ago. It spars Mill Creek Valley from Spruce street to Chouteau avenue and cost $267,000.

Mrs. Cora Buehler, living on the third floor in the rear of 2323 Franklin ave- nue, asked at the Dayton Street Police Court today for a summons against Sam Arky, proprietor of a poultry .establish- ment at 23825 Franklin avenue. Mrs. Buehler said her peace and that of her neighbors was disturbed by the noise of Arky's geese, ducks and chickens. She said she could not slep at night and had ro peace in the day. Arky’s establishment, she said, oc- cuples three floors and most of the sidewalk—and the noises are not al there are odors. also. It would not be so bad, she said, if it was only the' chickens.

St. Chaos in the St. Louis Iaternal Revenue office, resulting this morn- ing from the Government's failure to supply the office with a sufficient quantity of war tax stamps, and the gathering of excited pérséns who) sought to obtain stamps, caused -em- ployes to urge the crowds to g0 away. A clerk mounted a chair in a doer- way to the office and in a loud voice told several hundred men in the cor- ridors of the Federal building that “the Government was up against it,” that the clerks didn’t know what to do and advised them to return some other time. Penalties Ordered Suspended. Collector Moore announced this after- noon that he had received telegraphic permission from the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue in Washington to sus- pend the penalty on failure to obtain li- censes required by law until the office force could issue the licenses. This means that there will be no penalty im-, posed for failure to obtain licenses yes- terday. Moore also announced that shippers who could not obtain stamps should pay the railroads 1 cent on each consign- ment. The railroads are to pay the money to the Government. When the shippers are able to get stamps they will’ be required to go to the revenue of- fice and cancel stamps to the ameunt which they have paid the railroads. Insist Upon Arguing. In addition to the crowds in the office the telephone was in constant use, many persons insisting on arguing about the tax. Clerks in some instances were forced to abrupfty break the connection. The St. Louis offiée received only 800,- 000 of an order for 3,000,000 of the I-cent stamps, and only 60,000 of the \%-cent stamps. The supply of both was ex- hausted early yesterday. There is also a shortage of the %-cent stamps. Collector Moore advised applicants for stamps to keep an account of their sales and: said that stamps for that amount could be canceled later. Some applicants sent attorneys to the office this morning with statements that the railroad companies were refusing to receive unstamped shipments. on which a tax is due, and that they were suffer- ing a financial loss. Demand Is Falling Off. The number of persons seeking to pay licenses under the war tax law was less today, as most of those who. are re- quired to have licenses obtained them yesterday. The amount of war tax collected yes- terday was $17,632.50. This included l- censes and stamp sales. The total col- lections of the office yesterday was rho 424. 20. Cerowds at Chicago Revenue Office; 80 Days of Grace Granted. CHICAGO, Dec. 1.—-So great was the rush here today to buy war tax stamps that 20 # =policemen were called. to the Federal bullding to re- store order. Two women fainted; the press of the crowd loosed the door of the office of the Internal Revenue Collector from its hinges and sev- eral windows along the corridor were broken by shoulders forced against them by pressure of the crowd. The Collector later ordered days of grace for payment and this dispersed the crowd. Leavenworth Prisen Chaplain Quits. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Dec. 1—The Rev. Frank J. Leavitt, chaplain at the United States Penitentiary for the last ‘ MORE EVIDENCE HIDING EDWA S000 SHORTAGE Legislative Audit Early in 1913 Led to Discovery of Discrep- ancy in Accounts. . REPORTED TO OFFICIALS Senator A. S. Phillips Tells of Interrogating State Treasury Chief Clerk. Records of tke Missouri Legislature and a statement by Senator Alroy 58. Phillips to a Post-Dispatch reporter to- day reveal evidences of even greater conspiracy of silence on the $5000 short- age of J. H. Edwards in the State Treasury than was published in the Post-Dispatch yesterday. The legislative records show that the State Auditing Committee, of which Senator Phillips was chairman, discov- ered in a second audit of the Treasurer's books, Jan. 12, 1913, that $5000 of the State’s money was unaccounted for. State Auditor Gordon, Treasurer Deal and former Treasurer Cowgill were fur- nished with copies of the committee’s report in February, 1913. The shortage Was successfully concealed from the examined the records yesterday. Phillips said today that at the time of discovery of the discrepancy, he per- sonally discussed the matter with Ed- wards, who was chief clerk in the Treas- urer’s office. Edwards told Phillips, the latter said, that the Mississippi Vallev Trust Co. had charged a ‘$5000 item against the State through mistake ang that the matter was then under adjust- ment, “Erroneous Charge of 35000.” Phillips, a Republican, in his report, called attention to the $6000, referring to it as ‘“‘an erroneous charge of $5000.’’ Phillips’ conversation with Edwards was two weeks after Edwards had cashed two checks aggregating $5000 for the purpose of covering his shortage. which had occurred more than a year before. Phillips said today that the duty of the. Auditing Committee ended when it showed the condition of the treasury. This was done, he said, in the report and it became the duty of the Treasurer to run An the $5000 dis- érepancy. Although the Vahidératic officials conducted an investigation of the discrepancy, the investigation was not pushed, and the details of the shortage were not known definitely to the officialg until nearly a month later. Then they entered the rec- ord on the books secretly, and kept concealed from the general public the fact that there had been a short- age. First Audit on Jan. 1, 1913. The Auditing Committee made its first audit of the Treasurer's office Jan. 1, 1913. At that time the ac- counts were found correct, as Ed- wards had cashed the checks the previous day and had made up the shortage in the cash in the vault, which he had been concealing for more than a year. He had destroyed the check stubs so there was no way to learn the checks “had ever been issued. The committee made its second audit Jan. 12 to cover the period since the first audit. This second audit was made because E. P. Deal, the newly-elected Treasurer, was to take office that day. The audits reveal an interesting circumstance of Edwards’ planning of means to postpone discovery of his shortage. His cash was $6000 short Dec. 31, 1912. The Auditing Committee was due in the office the next day. To cover the shortage he cashed two checks on the State’s de. posit with the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. of St. Louis, but to get the cash immediately it was necessary to cash the checks in Jefferson City. Plan to Avoid Discovery. He went to the Exchange Bank and the First National Bank, getting $2500 from each. At that time the State had on deposit with the Ex- change Bank, $143,054.37, and with the First National Bank, $138,832.81. Instead of drawing against these ac- counts, however, Edwards drew against the account with the trust company in St. Louis, by which plan the check was longer in reaching the bank from which thg money eventually was to come, and post- poned the time of discovery. The Auditing Committee's report of Jan. 12, 1913, showed that the State had in cash on hand and on deposit in vari- cus banks, $2.995,702.78, while the books of the Treasurer's office showed the amount to be $38,007,062. A part of this difference was accounted for by the fact that there were deposits In transit ag- gregating $52,312.57 and outstanding and way" checks amounting to $49,952.72. e difference between these two items was added to the amount actually on de- posit, and showed that there was still a difference of $5000. Itewas this discovery by the Auditing Committee of $5000 shown by the Treas- urer’s books to be in the treasury, and yet not shown by the banks to be on deposit, that caused Senator Phillips to interrogate Edwards. Edwards was asxed yesterday by a Post-Dispatch reporter for an explana-. tion of the shortage. He replied that he knew nothing about it and would not discuss it. Former Treasurer Cowgill told a Post- Dispatch reporter that he had personally repaid the Edwards shortage and had not prosecuted Edwards because of Sympathy for his family. He said Ed- public until a Post-Dispatch reporter State Employe Whose Shortage ‘Was Kept Secret by Officials J. HARRY EDWARRS, 33 NEW DIPHTHERIA CASES IN LAST 24 HOURSIS ARECORD! ing to Prompter Use of Anti- toxin, Dr. Woodruff Says. Thirty-three new cases of diphtheria in the last 24 hours were reported to the City Health Department this morning. This is a record for that period of time since the epidemic started about five weeks ago. Dr. M. C. Woodruff, diagnostician of the Health Department, says the death rate has been decreased and this he at- tributes to the wide publicity given by the newspapers to the urgent need of immediate administration of anti-toxin in all cases. Only were reported last week, as compared with 20 the previous week. Causes of Deaths. Dr. Woodruff, in a _ report yesterday afternoon to Health missioner Starkloff, assigned causes for recent deaths from theria in St. Louis. These, he says, are: Carelessness of parénts In not call- ing a physician soon enough. Incompetence of physicians, caus ing them to make a wrong diagnosis or to delay administering antitoxin. The high price of antitoxin. Dr. Woodruff based his report on an investigation of 3% fatal cases of diph- theria. In these cases he found there was an average of five days’ delay in giving antitoxin. an average of three and one-third days’ delav in calling s doctor and an average of two and th-ree- quarters days’ delav in making the di- agnosis. Three Days’ Delay by Parents. Of the average five days’ delay, Dr Woodruff said, parents_were responsible for three Gays and physicians for two days. Most of the cases investigated were in families in moderate circum- stances in which the purchase of anti- toxin Involved a financial sacrifice. In his report Dr. Woodruff says it should be made clear to parents that they should promptly call a physician in every case where a child has a sore throat and the temperature rises to 101 degrees. — A physician yesterday called at Dr. Starkloff's office and told of a case where he was called and found a child had symptoms of diphtheria. The mother paid $8.50 for 2000 units of antitoxin, but before it was administered the father re- turned home and complained -that he could not afford to spend that much money. made Com- three diph- Antitoxin ¢ Back. He sent the antitoxin back to the drug store and dismissed the physician, say- ing he would call another who would hot recommend so expensive a treat- ment.

It is bad news that comes from Ger- many for Tabby and Thomas and Pussy and Maria and.-all the rest of the tribe of cats. The order has gone forth, so reads the news, that all the cats in the Kaiser’s kingdom are ‘to be slain an skinned, to make linings for soldiers coats. Every German cat is to be calle: upon to give up its nine lives and its one hide for the Fatherland. The news has reached the St. Louis fur dealers through the trade papers, and is given credence because it 1% known that the goats of Germany have already given up their lives in order that the Kaiser’s soldiers may be warm. and that the supplies of catskins on hand there at the beginning of the wa> have been exhausted. There are plenty of catskins in Amer- ica which the dealers would be glad to sell to the Kaiscr, but furs are contra- band and cannodt be sent over. House cats are a constderable factor in the fur trade. N. R. Darragh, secretary of a large fur company, sald today that probably a million of them are sold in the course of a year. Dealers pay, in this latitude, 10 to 15 cents for colored skins and 20 to 50 cents for black ones. They are sold as imitation mink or {mi- tation marten. Trappers frequently catch them and send the pelts in as lynx, vtter, mink or marten. They are used extensively for automobile rugs, instead of Mexican tiger skins. Every German family has at least one cat, Darragh says, and many have five or six. With the order to kill cats went in- structions how and when to -kill them and how to dress the furs. Govern- ment agents go around and gather up the skins and carry them to the cloth- ing factories, where they are made into garments for the -soldiers.

FURNES, Belgium, Novy. 20.—By order of King Albert,, the cross of the Order ber of the little band of cyclists who crossed the German lines and blew up a bridge near Mons, which cut the German lowed the allies to assemble the force necéssary to check fhe advance of ths Germans toward Calais. This company of cyclists, from which the men were taken for this piece of basardous work, is composed of 300 members, sworn to give their lives to the country. Only ten were taken from each regiment out of the many who volunteered. The corps is used in opera- tions which often mean certain death. Ir. the present case, the destruction of the bridge cut off the Germans’ supplies, and is considered by the King to be. di- rectly responsible for the failure of the Germans. to break through the line of the allies in the critical fave of the first week in November.

Owing to the high prices of flour the authorities are experimenting with a soup made from potatoes, barley and black meals.

LONDON, Nov. 2.—Colombo Harbor, the prin¢ipal seapart of Ceylon, and its shipping had a narrow escape from de- struction in the early days of fhe war. according to mail advices just received here. A German spy set fire to an an- chored vessel which contained more thaw 55 tons of dynamite. The oniy means of saving neighboring shipping and harbor works was to sink the burning ship, and this was done by a squad of volunteers at a considerable risk. All mention of this incident was appar- ently deleted by the English censor in the cable news dispatches at the time. English Soldiers Sing Songs.

By Associated Press. | . »LAONDON, Dec. 1—Details of the op- erations of the British troops at the front from Nov. 23 to %,gare given in a report, issued under date of Nov. 26, from a military observer attached to ‘the British hecdquarters. The report, in part, is as follows: ‘Since the enemy desisted from his at- tacks in force, the fighting has been re- ‘solved into a competition in sniping and small affairs on the outposts all along the line, where positions are con- tested with rifles, hand grenades, bombs, mortars and mines. Our aeroplanes have been especially active in the last two ‘days, having dropped 120 bombs.” The account refers to several in- ‘stances in which German attacks were repuised, particularly on Nov. 23, to the south of the River Lys. There, it is | said, the gurkhas @id considerable exe- eution at close quarters. They even penetrated some of the German }trenches, where they wielded their pe- culiar curved swords with great effect. Germans Refuse to Advance. The report again refers to the efficacy of German discipline.’ It says that the British .soidiers could hear the com- mand, “Vorwaerts ’ (Forward) coming from the woods, It was followed imme- diately by. a rush or Germans. Once. twice and thrice this was gone... Kgech Then the order was given again. This.time, however, there were loud exclamations of “Nein, nein,” and ‘no advance was made: The repulse of the famous Prussian Guard is again dwelt upon. “After the enemy had broken through our front line, the situation became most serious,’’ the report continues, “‘for there were only two field companies of the Royal Engineers avaliable at the moment as a. reserve in this quarter of the field. On the right front of the German attack, firing through open spaces in the woods, were heavy bat- teries and field batteries, which dealt havoc among the attackers, both before and after they reached our line. But the Germans continued to come on al- most up to our guns. Some bodies were picked up only 70 yards from the guns. Cooks Called in as Defenders. + “Realizing that all might be lost un- less a firing line of some kind could be established, battery officers man- aged to form a line of gunners, regi- mental cooks and detafis of various de«- scriptions. These men stood firm and kept up a steady rifle fire. They checked the assault at the: most efitical mo- ment, thus enabling »ther froops to come jup to repel it more comphetely.” Other incidents taken up in the report are the movement of Britigh cavalry br motor cars, thus adding one more nov- elty to the roles which the cavalry have played during the war; the blowing up of a farmhouse containing German snip- ers; the heating of trenches, with bra- ziers as stoves, and the transport serv ice, whose work in supplying food is commended. “No little ‘part of our success,” says the report in this connection, “is due to the ample quantity and excellent quality of the food. “It is probably not saying too much to assert that no other ‘soldiers in the field had ever been so well fed.” “STOLEN” RINGS FOUND IN A BASEBALL GLOVE Pawnshop detectives this morning scratched from their list the descrip- tion of three diamond rings which were reported stolen June 23 from the home of J, W. Jennings, 3914 Wyoming street, because Jennings reported the jewelry had been recovered. The rings were found in a baseball glove which was tossed aside last sum- mer by Jennings’ son and later found its way into a compartment of the sideboard. Jennings said he could not account for the rings being in the glove, but thought they might have been placéJ there by the baby of the household.

First of all, the fashion in which 1. was seized upon, printed and reprint- ed, should supply our German friends with an adequate answer to that fre- quent complaint that the American newspapers are deliberately surren- dering their news columns to British and French influences. The second purpose served is thet there is supplied to the American public, in an attractive fashion, & statement of the German view of the great war, which gains & hearing and has an appeal which could never be won by the solerin pronounce- ments of various and multi-colored official books or profound utterances of the learned professors. who have in recent months been “goose-atep- ing” in print. gy amusing to note the instant and unanimous ehorus of derision and bitterness revealed by the Lon- don press comment on the Crown Prince’s words, which are correctly diagnosed as an appeal for American sympathy and approval and depre- cated because they are recognized to be, at the very least, calculated to command interest, if not to enlist admiration. a Appeal to America. Now the odd thing about the whole progress of the present conflict is the fashion in which both the Brit- ish and the German press and public men have felt it necessary to concill- ate American public feeling and to enlist American sympathy, approval, admiration. In dolug this, eactr side has felt it necessary to depreciate the other, to ascribe to the other the basest of human motives and the most terrible of destructive pur- ho the case of the Crown Prinee’s interview, one may venture the guess that it will not in the smallest de- grée affect the calm judgment of the American public upon the cause of the war itself, or the belief that the best interests of the world will be served by the ultimate success of the allies—not in destroying Germany, but in. preserving that baiance of power which means that France and Belgium, the Southern Slays and all other peoples and races, will continue to contribute to the sum total of hu- man wealth in their individual and characteristic fashion. On the ether hand, the words of the Crown Prince will serve to dem- onstrate what many millions of Ger- mans feel to be the cause_and the character of the war they are fight- ing. They will, too, unquestionably modify American opinion of the Prince himself, and as the interview itself is unmistakably authentic, in its very tone and detalii, they wiil supply one more attractive figure in a great world-drama which, save for Albert, King of the Belgians, has been strangely devoid of personality. Belgium Chief Faetor . American opinion, that is, the opin- ion of the millions in this country who are American by aneestry, has been influenced Mttle, if at all, by either German or British argument. A diversity of sympathy, as between these two n-tions in their great con- flict, is everywhere discernible. The service of Germany to mankind has nowhere been more promptly recog- nized ttan in America, and nowhere imitated more freely. : But from the outset, for Americans, the case of Belgium has remained the determining factor. Few Amer- icans are impressed with British pro- testations that England is making war solely to protect stricken Bel- gium. Just as few are powerfully af- fected by all the various and con- ficting arguments presented by~ the Germans to warrant their invasion of this little country, whose courage and suffering have an enduring ap- peal to the nation which traces its own origin back to a few “‘embattled farmers,”’ the Frane Tireurs of Lex- ington and Concord. ._What appeals to Americans most in the case of Germany is not the arguments of professors, the explana- tions of statesmen. It is rather the ever-growing volume of evidence, brought here only by the letters of private correspondence, which reveal the spirit, the determination, the de- votion of the women as well as the men of Germany. . Rising above all technical quéestions of neutrality and causes of war, this great human fact more and more appeals to a nation which recalls in the history of the Confederacy the same magnicent qualities which illuminated a cause necessarily lost, and made a defeat, on the whole, useful to the entire na- tion, a glory of a reunited people. The thing that both our German and our British friends consistently overlook is that there is an Amert- can point of view. They would have ug pro-German or pro-British, and we are neither.

The demand for the spoils of the Dem- ocratic victory of. 1912 is being pressed home today upon United States Senators Stone and Reed ‘by a mob of office seekers. Senator Stone © braved the erowd of hungry pie hunters at the Planters Hotel, but Senator Reed scught the seclusion of a hotel outside of the hHusiness district. Senator Stone left orders with _ the clerk at the hotel to admit no visitors to see him in the dining room while he was eating breakfast, nor in the barber shop while he was getting shaved. it was impossible to enforce the orders. The office seekers found him in the dining room and pursued him into the barber shop. Between each stroke the harber took, some office. seeker would present his demand for a postoffice or a deputyship in one of the Federal of- fices at St. Louis. 100 Besiege Him in Lobby. 10 a. m. Senator Stone wore 42 by He then ventured inte wearied look. the lobby, where 100 or more Democratic. patriots were waiting for an opportunity to tell him how fearlessly and faithfully ithey had served the party and how ‘eager they were for their reward. The Hon. Felix McAdams, more widely known as “‘Fish,’’ was holding the for- tress at the center column of the Plant- ers Hotel lobby. He wanted to be a deputy,-tnternal Revenue Collector or 2 deputy Marshal. M. R. Smith, for- merly of Farmington, came in with former Representative Joseph Pratte of Ste. Genevieve County, now of St. Louis, to discuss appointments. Clarence Shot- well, Democratic chairman of St. Louls County, and Louis Kunz, former Demo- cratic City Chairman in St. Louis, were among the most energetic seekers for Senator Stone’s ear. The State Grange is meeting at the Planters Hotel. Many of the farmers who are here as delegates appeared to be eager to render a service to their Government, provided the monthly ernol- uments were forthcoming. They took up much of Senator Stone’s time in the lobby. It would have been quite an easy matter for the Senator to have selected a full corps of long-whiskere¢c Democrats for all the offices at his dis- posal. if he had been inclined that way. Col. Sam Fordyce came in to see Sen- ator Stone (but not to get a job). He had an appointment with the Senator, and waited in front of the barber shop door for him. But the Senator was a long time in getting from the barber shop to Col. Fordyce. Three grangers caught him before he could get to Col. [ordyvce and they were in no hurry to release him. Kunz and Shotwell next nabbed the Senator, and half a dozen more, before he could work his way to Fordyce. Same Reply to All. After hearing the plea of each office- seeker, Senator Stone would say: “T will do what Ican for you.” That was not a very definite promise, but at least there was a ray of hope in it, for everybody knew that Senator Stone could do a lot if he set his mind to it. I"inallv Senator Stone, after both arms had almost been pulled out of their sock- ets, with his face flushed and: short of breath, made his way to his room. There another crowd awaited him. Each man in this crowd was as eager for office as the others. One at a time the office- seekers were admitted into the Senator's private room and given an opportunity to press their claims. Senator Reed, at the smaller Warwick Hotel, up on Locust street, was re- ceiving the politicians who were conceded to have a chance for appoint- fment. -He was escaping the painful ex- perience’ through which Senator Stone was passing at the Planters. The heads of the departments who have vacancies to fill were also meeting Senator Reed and discussing with him the obligation of the party to the different applicants, and the ability of the applicants to fill the jobs they were seeking. Senators Stone and Reed will be here today and tomorrow. It is expected that most of the vacancies in the Federal de- partments will be filled within the next few weeks. The two Senators will be in {Washington Monday for the opening of#Congress. , Two Boston Papers Sold.

Today is the last day allowed by law to delinquent corporations for reinstate- ment. There are now 13,213 corporations whose charters and licenses are in force by reason of compliance with the pro- visions of the corporations registration law. Of this number, 12,4% registered dur- ing July, while the $5 registration fee was in force! 558 registered during Au- gust and September, vemad, ae $10 reg- istration fee effective ring these months. ‘On Oct. 2 between 1200 and 1500 corporations that had failed to register were certified to Recorders of Deeds of the various counties of the State as sus- pended. Since June 1, this year, the corpora- tion registration and reinstatement fees collected and turned into the State treasury by Secretary of State Cornelius Rogch amount to.$70,355. Miscellaneous fees collected .by the corporation de- partment in that time amount to about $4791, making a total of $75,146 collected { dtring the first six months of the fiscal year 1914-15, about $6000 less than the fees collected for the year of 1913-14. NEW HAVEN DIRECTORS IN FINAL PLEAS THURSDAY Federal Court Sets Date After Three Pleas in Abatement Are C -erruled. NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Final pleas by Willlam Rockefeller and eight others of the 21 directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road Co., under indictment for viola- tion of the Sherman anti-trust law, must be filed in the United States District Court here Thursday, when argument also will be heard on de- murrers filed by counsel for the de- fendants. Judge Sessions so decided late vester- day after he had granted permission to the defendants to change their pleas to the indictment against them and had overruled three pleas in abatement which they had filed last Monday. These pleas charged that the: in- dictment was defective on three grounds; first, that the jury panel had been drawn by a clerk residing in New Jersey; second, that the grand jury’s powers had expired the month before, and third that two stenogra- phers were present at the jury’s de- liberations. The court held that the powers of a grand jury could be ex- tended and that the clerk and sten- ographers wete legally qualified court officers. =~ ARKANSAS FINDS MAN TO EXECUTE 9 CONVICTS One Prison Employe Resigned Rather Than -~ Electrocute White Man. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 1.—Peni- tentiary officials have found a successor to Luther Castling, elec- triclan at the State Penitenflary for the last four years, who resigned rather than officiate at the electrocution of a white man, four of whom are now in the institution awaiting their turn in the electric chair. He is F..H. Dempsey, an Arkadelphia electrician. Castling has electrocuted three negroes, but each time protested. A Pine ‘Bluff man who agreed to take Castling’s place failed to appear when he learned he would have to operate the chair.

WASHINGTON, Der. 1.—A majority of the Supreme Court yesterday joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma “Jim Crow’’ law provision permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dintng and chair car accommodations onty to the white race was unconstitutional, but they did not so decree because of imperfections in the petition om which the case reached the courts. The case was one in which five ne- groes, claiming that the entire law was unconstitutional, sought an injunction to restrain five railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it. The Oklahoma Fed- eral Courts dismissed the petition, holding the law constitutional: The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal today, because the ne- groes had not shown they had applied to the railroads for accommodation under the law or that the railroads had notified them that they would be re- fused certain accommodations. The majority, through Justice Hughes, stat- ed, however, that they could not agree with the lower court that the proviso as to sleeping, dining and chair cars was constitutional. 111 HUNTERS KILLED 162 ARE WOUNDED Peculiar Accidents Help Swell Deer Season Tolf in 17 States and Ontario.

BREAT SPECTACLE sic of the Masque Excellently Sung at the Odeon by 175 Mixed Voices. he singing of the choral parts of the que of St. Louis last night at the eon by the Pageant Chorai Society, der the baton of Frederick Fischer, ajured from the past the enchanted urs of fairyland which thrilled the y during its memorable spectacie- y last May. Once more, in the eye memory, the bowl of Art Hill over- wed with its scores of thousands; the nt Cahokia seemed again to tower ™ a stage gilded by the setting sun: asapedan, the great bear, glittered his lofty lair; the River Spirits swept ound the bend of the Lagoon in their oes and ihtoned their noble chant; 14 the Earth Spirite paid uncouth rites t worship to their deity, Gold. The audience also had an opportunity to ‘form an intimate acquaintance with the “March of the Pioneers,” written for the Pageant by Ernest. R. Kroeger of | St. Louis. This proved to be, in keeping with the subject, a gnarled and rugged composition, with a resolute rhythm like the tread of dauntless men. As was becoming in a concert so strict- tilly pertaining to St. Louis in character, the soos part of the singers who took part-in the Masque. They were accompanted by the oie aoa phony Orchestra. Under pline and training, he played a. flexibility of : norous volume of tone, and above all a spirited delight in‘ their work, which did credit to. tor Fischer, Should one attempt to. oul the best. from a whole that was fine,. there might be selected the “Chorus of the Stars,” “‘The Hymn,” | rthe aria, the soloist of the first part of the pro- gram was Miss Stella de Mette, young St. Louls prima donna, formerly of the Metropolitan Opera Company. She sang the soprano part of “Gallia,” a musical | jeremiad written by Gounod in lamenta- tion of the French debacle in 1870, and “Ave Maria,’’ from the can- tata, “Das Feuerkreuz,”’“by Max Bruch. In Excellent: Voice. Above the combined volume of the cho- rus; the orchestra and the big Odeon organ, her voice, such was its resonance and distinction of timbre, rang brilliant- ly. The aria afforded an opportunit for emotional interpretation of which she availed herself to the full. In the mid- die and lower registers her mezzo-so- prano was rich in tones of a velvet smoothness. The orchestra and chorus also gave, in excellent style, Cesar Franck’s set- ting of the One Hundred and- Fiftieth Psalm. The auditortum was little more than half filled. The proceeds of the concert are to be applied to making the ‘Pageant Choral Society a permanent in- stitution.

The entire evening became an ambro- sial Maude Adams night, filled with the music of the infectious littl Maude Adams laugh, the beguiling little Maude Adams pouter-pigeon cooing of the voice through pursed-up lips of feminine en- ticement, the illuminative little Maude Adams flash of fun that Nghts up the “Legend of Leonora’”’ and “‘The}| ein Maude Adams countenance so be- witchingly—all the little Maude Adams lovablenesses, indeed, that have so for- midably intrenched Maude Adams in the American play- -going heart.

RECISELY as in “What Every Woman Knows,” and still using Maude Adams as his heaven-or- dained mouthpiece, Sir James Matthew Barrie at the Olympic Theater on Mon- day evening continued hig chosen task of teaching the sons of Adam certain, primal truths that have been familiar to the daughters of Eve ever since Adam was a boy and Eve a girl, so to speak. The dramatic medium of instruction now is “The Legend of Leonora’ and “The Ladies’ Shakspeare,’’ the former a three-act play and the latter a three- scene playlet, and again, as in his Scot- tish satire on masculine self-sufficiency that finds its foundation in feminine cleverness, Barrie gives his fantastic humor a free rein and permits it to romp around the course at its own sweet will. The result is delightful. In “The Legend of Leonora’ the quaint-sotled Caledonian playwright im- presses upon the cosmic consciousness the Great Fact that a mother, to save her little daughtér from the peril of an aggravated cold of the ‘‘sniffle’ varie- ty, will not hesitate to kill the male be- ing who refuses to close an open rail- way carriage window that threatens in- creased rheum to her influenzic off- spring. This is a bold thesis, seemingly reckless in its absolute disregard of ac- cepted morals and of the established conventions of law and order. ‘But before he has done with it, and owing entirely to the perfectly charming maternal absorption of the irresistible Leonora, the elf-brained Peter Pan of ot 8 et © om Foe he ge me ee BROADWAY > PPO ITE wa am fod 8 oe ~ . he 5 he 5 ee only, oll. eee Boo tote ee se oi = -SANTA IS HERE ye f . ni anda Fur Trimmed Suits | Values to $35.00, Special at m= 5 og 5 on ll Cid Bical rh 99 Stunning military models, with choker collars, jaunty cutaway coats, @ belted and box styles, and,the dressy Redingote and Cossack coats.

The shells of the German ar- tillery sometimes did not burst prop- erly. Our infantry, in comparison with the infantry of the enemy, are very spirited. They captured on the 25th, before Festobert, three machine guns, a light howitzer, 160 men and three o*- ficers. “To sum up, our material and moral situation from the sea to the Lys is very good. “From the Lye to the Oise the enemy has not shown greater activity than on the northern section. There was no at- tack by the infantry. The attacks by the artillery were very intermittent and were lacking spirit. Our artillery dur- ing that week maintained its advan- tage. pany, it is stated, has been called tu! caped, but six others were injured. ee Re ee ee es — Christmas Opening © A Grand Display awaits your inspection.

On the 24th, in the same region, the result was the same. On the 2th we destroyed, after our aeroplanes had given us the range, two machine guns. “Our infantry has gained brilliant re- sults. It is to be noted that every ad- vance it makes is at once definitely se- cured by. the establishment of intrench- ments. At Lievin on the 2ist our in- fantry brought to a head an audactous operation, which had been prepared by sapping. Our troops invaded a German trench, killed 200 of its-occupants and in- stalled themselves in the trench, after having burned in front of it two artil- lery observation stands. “With reference to the district from the Oise to the Vosges—it is in this sec- tion that the enemy, in his statements, claims to have given pgoofs of the great- est activity and to have gained most of his success. In reality, he has been a little more active than in other sections, except that he never engaged more than one battalion at a time. “As regards the results, none. On the contrary, made substantial gains. Alpine Infantry Praised. “Some of the infantry actions are in- teresting to note.

Home and DIVORCE FINDS SHE CAN LIVE ON $20,000 A YEAR ' Chiefly Are Responsible for _ Wives’ Extravagances. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 1—Mrs. Blanche A. W. Heye, who, a year ago, divorced George G. Heye, millionaire banker. and declared the $20,000 a year alimony awarded for herself and children was totally inadequate, now says that not only can a society woman live well on that sum, but she can save money. At the time she sued Mrs. Heye sub- mitted itemized Hets of her expendi- tures, showing that $50,000 a year gerved only to support her two chil- dren, Mildred Agnes, 9 years old, and Lawrence Williams Heye, aged i5. Wowever, one year's experience has convinced Mrs. Heye she was mistaken. She now boasts of having saved a good- ly part of her alimony without stint- ting either her children or herself. “Tt is entirely the rich man’s fault if his wife spends large sums of money each year,” said Mra. Heye. “Society “Post. Dispatch Wants REACH the Persons Who READ Real Estate Ads . More than 8000 Home Offers in the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH Big House, Real Estate Directory.

No one ever thinks that possibly the woman has been forced to spend all of this money by her husband, and, being accustamed to having everything im life she de- sires, she really belicoves she cannot do without these things. “There are lots of cases like my Own, where the man insists that his wife en- tertain extensively and keep four or five motor cars with a private garage. And when it comes to caring for his chil- dren the rich man thinks no sum too large to be spent for their benefit. I was convinced one year ago that my life would be wrecked because I was to have! only a small alimony. I was positive that at least $50,000 a year would be necessary to support the children and myself, but we have never been hap- pier than during the last year. Much to Be Given Up. “Of course there was much we had to give up. We left our $10,000-a-year apart- ment and rented this modest house. Last summer, instead of going abroad, we took a modest cottage at Long Beach. Again we were happier than we ever were in our handsome country home at Roslyn, L.

LEGAL WORK IS’ BEGUN City Counselor Prepares to File Condemnation Suits Promptly When Measure Is Signed. Andrew Scully, chairman of the Public Improvements Committee of the House of Delegates, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter today that he was certain that the central parkway bill would be passed by the House tonight. Scully made this statement after having had another con- ference with Comptroller Player, who has admonished the House of Delegates to go slow in passing the bil. Mayor Kiel announced today that he had assurances from a majority of the House of Delegates that they would vote for the bill, and he considers its pas- sage assured. -“T have talked with some of the mem- bers who were not inclined to support the bill with enthusiasm,’’ said the Mayor to a reporter of the Post-Dis- patch, “and I have reason to believe there will be plenty of votes to pass the measure tonight. I expect a solid Re- publican vote of 11, and I know of at least six Democrats who are going to vote for it.” The bill was sent to engrossmeat last Friday night by unanimous vote of the House. The House leaders, who have kept in touch with the other members as to their attitude on the bill, made the prediction that the measure would receive at least 18 votes, and probably more. A poll of the Council taken by the Post-Dispatch reporters last Saturday indicates that the bill will reecive not less than 9 votes in that branch of the Assembly. Mayor Kiel, being one of the stronges advocates of the parkway, will sign the bill as soon after it reaches him as can be legally done un- der the new charter. As the arguments for and against the bill have been thrashed out in the House of Delegates, it is expected that ‘it will be passed by the Council without much delay. The legal department of the city has made some preparations to fa- cilitate the work of filing the condemna- ‘IAGK CUDAHY IS | SUED FOR INJURY 10 DOCTOR'S WIFE Pasadena Physician Asks $30,- 000 as Result of Alleged Violence at a Hotel.

It’s a long, long way to Kansas City. and it’s going to cost 8 cents more to}] get there after this. Up to today the price of a ticket has been $5.50. Today anybody who wants to go has to pay $5.58 before he can get a ticket. The Rock Island, Chicago & Alton, Missouri Pacific and Wabash have joined in the 8-cent raise. . Two explanations were offered this morning at Union Station. One was that the 8 cents was needed to pay for the new Union Station that nas just been completed at Kansas City. The other was that the railroads, acting on the theory that every little bit added tv what you’ve got makes just a little bi: more, had decided to charge all that the law allows. The law allows them to charge 3 cents a mile. Two cents a mite makes the fare to Kansas City $5.58. The roads heretofore have been knock- ing off the 8 cents to make it even.

Before the Federal troops who have‘been pre- serving the public peace in the district are with- drawn, Mr. Wilson thinks that a machinery should exist for adjusting troubles that may hereafter threaten disorder. ‘‘But there is nothing to medi- ate,” suys President Jesse W.

HE ragged pines of old Virginia had hardly settled themselves firmly in the soil of the Confed- eracy to which the secession of the old fogy Stat had transplanted them, when, in the shadows of an antiquated brary, a young apostle of the new goctrine wrote: “gn federate States of America, Richmond, Va., April 20, 1861. Dr. Schuyler Vansittart. My dear sir—You will observe that (with- out, believe me, a tremor or the straining of @ single heart tendon) I have changed my ‘mationality and my country. Instead of the “stars and stripes,’’ the ‘‘stars and bars” float to the breeze (excuse extreme originali- ty of expression), and our brand-new ship of State dares, alone, the storms of war.

Terrible orders from irascible old Generals, who had outgrown ro- mance and outlived sentiment, sternly directed all letters to be read before passing under the white folds of these same peaceful banners. So every word was weighed, and dictionaries became the popular literature of the day to those that wrote to “the other side,’’ in order that a phrase might be found capable of expressing everything to some particular person, but betraying nothing to the flag-of-true-letter-read- ing department. No one must suspect that the loving s«nquiries abount Aunt Jane‘s neuralgia, or the in- tense anxiety concerning Uncle John’s rheumatism meant an altogether different query to those that wrote so guardedly.

One dismal morning Mrs. Ponsonby was sewing diligently on a _ soldier's haversack, one of an immense pile, in guch haste to finish her task that she wasted no time in fastening stitches or in strengthening straps. Thus, without the eye of a prophet, one might see, in future weary marches, many a poor fellow’s scanty rations slipping through the gaps in this same haversack made enews more enthusiastic in effort than proficient in accomplishment, and ee hear, instead of the blessings the old lady expected to be poured on her 1n- dustrious hands and_ £=self-sacrificing heart, the echo of an assortment of ejaculations, flung at the careless fin- gers of the maker. ‘“‘Mighty po’-lookin’ sojer want to see you, Mis’ Clementine,’ said efficient though ungrammatical Judy, nodding her turbaned head to Mrs. Ponsonby through a diminutive vupening in the door. “Say he ain’ horngry, ‘cause I run as’ him dat fus’ thing; look mon- sus poly, do’ fus’ sojer I see in a mont’ o’ moons whar ain’ horngry.’’ ‘On the 19th of May,” said the limp- ing wearer of a ragged gray coat, as he stood in Mrs. Ponsonby’s presence, with the crown of a hat surrounded by a broken halo of brim in his hand, “our regiment held a position on the right of the Tenth Alabama, the attacking force. Behind an old house, set at just the right angle, as it semed to us, to hide an ambuscade, a party of sharpshooters was picking off our men.

ND so it went on, the familiar but A ever moving tale of a flag-bearer killed, a soldier—the narrator of the story—springing to the rescue of his standard, himself to be laid senseless by a bullet. From this oblivion he had been wakened from a drenching cold water bath to hear the verdict, ‘‘Poor fellow; leg badly shattered!’’ pronounced over him by a voice with a slight nasal twang. A voice, It chanced, that he was destined to hear daily during his tedious illness, for the man who had picked him up on the field was also the assistant in the hospital, and quite a rriendship grew up between the young doctor and his patient, through their many conversations. So it was that on the day of the narrator's discharge, the surgeon, along with congratulations on the other’s recovery and approaching exchange, gave a confidence and asked a favor, as he said, ‘‘while your ardor is yet at white heat.” “Three years ago,” the doctor con- tinued, ‘before this hateful war was ever dreamed of, and while I was a student in Philadelphia, I became ac- quainted with a young lady from Rich- mond.

Just then, with abom- inable inopportuneness, I felt, Mr. Lin- coln asked Virginia for her quota of troops.

Of course, you can’t carry a written communication. I don’t care to treat the camp to a specimen of my ability as a military Romeo, so I am going to read you the epistle which you, once safe in Richmond after your exchange, are to write out in my name and hand to her in person. Now, will you do this, without altering jot or tittle, except to throw into it all the fervor you can convey on paper; and will you remember that under no circumstances are you to give this precious document into any hands save those of the terrible little rebel who wrote the wonderful letter of 1861; or, if impossible to see her, then into those of her mother?” To that question the letter now passed from'‘the hands of the “rag- gedy man” to the feminine fingers that dropped the unfinished haver- Sack to receive it, was the silent and sufficient answer. | The smoke still lingered over the smoldering chimneys of Richmond wher Judy, ignorant of the interstate episode in her mistress’ love affairs, entered one morning to announce a visitor. “Gemman in de parlor, Mis’ Liz- beth, an’ clar to goodness, you'll hev' to ’scuse me, but he mos’ sholy do 'nok powerful like one o’ dem Yan- kees whar cum in wid de Union.” And after the end at Appomattox, when the guns were stacked for all time by the tired hands of the starved men who wept as they laid them aside, Surgeon Vansittart and Eliza- beth But what need to go over the old story?

Sandman story of how Billy, after he escapes the bears, plans to be a tramp pig with Mr. Dog A. Walker. — PART II. OOD-MORNING,” said the dog a3 ‘| he came up to Billy Pig; “‘aren’t you out early? Have you had your breakfast?’’ he-asked without wait- ing for an answer to his first questioi'. ‘“‘No, I have not had any breakfast,”’ enswered Billy Fig. ‘‘I am very hun- gry ana tired, for I have traveled all night.”’ “Come with me and I will show you how you can get your breakfast; I have had mine,’’ said the dog. Billy Pig took his bundle and fol- lowed Mr. Dog along the road until they came to a farmhouse. They were standing in front: of an open window and Billy Pig looked up at it and then he said to Mr. Dog: “You don’t expect me to steal my breakfast, do you?” “No, Just take it,” said Mr. Dog. “Go ahead and jump in. I'll boost you!’’ ‘*"No,”’ said Billy Pig. ‘I never stole anything in my iife and I cannot begin on my vacation. Besides that, I could never get in. I cannot climb as you can.’’ ‘What have you got in your bundle?” asked Mr. Dog. ‘My pajamas,’’ replied Billy, Pig ‘‘That is all I have left of my clothes.”’ Billy Pig handed the bundle to Mr. Dog. ‘That is a fine looking suit,’’ he said. “I wisht I could try them on.’’ “You can, but they ‘will be too small for you,”’ said Billy Pig. Mr. Dog put on the pajamas, and Billy Pig laughed when he saw how short they were for Mr. Dog. But Mr. Dog thought he must °: look very fine, although he could not se himself. ‘I will get your breakfast for you,’”’ he told Billy Pig, “if you will let me wear this suit today.”’ Billy Pig was so hungry he didn’t care by that time how he got his break- fast, so he told Mr. Dog he could wear them if he wanted to. Mr. Dog jumped to the window sill and disappeared on the other side, but he goon returned with a big pie and a dish of creamed potatoes, and if there was anything in the world that Billy Pig liked it was creamed potatoes. Mr. Dog handed them to Billy Pig, and then jumped down beside him. ‘Take them away from here,” said Mr. Dog. ‘‘The maid will soon be down and she is very cross and might take them away from you if she happened to catch you.” So off they ran to a place where no one could see them, and Billy Pig ate his breakfast. “IT believe I need a vacation,” said Mr. Dog. “I never had one. I believe I will go along with you. Where are you going?’ ‘T don’t know,” replied Billy Pig. “That will suit me,’’ replied Mr. Dog. “T don’t want to know where I am go- ing. I might not like to go, and I do want to enioy my vacation. We will be two tramps on a vacation, and I'll bet you we will have great fun. We can beg all our food and sleep out in the woods.”’ . “Well, I will go along for a while,” answered Billy Pig. “If I do not like being a tramp I will go home. It isn’t the sort of vacation I planned on hav- ing. You look like a tramp, and I think you better do the begging, because I don’t look the way you do.’’ Mr. Dog did not take the least offense at Billy Pig’s remark. “Oh, that is all right,”’ he said. ‘‘Wait until you have slept outdoors and tramped for a day or two and ho one will doubt you are'*a tramp.”’ Tomorrow I will tell you more about Billy Pig and Mr. Dog.

Men, as 4 rule, are willing to take their medicine, where blame is concerned, but are wom- en as ready to do the same? Is it al- ways a man’s fault?’’ Yes, Mr. Husband, you are quite right. There is something to be said where women are concerned. Indeed, I am sorry to say, there is much to be said about the shortcomings of my sex. There are many, many women. who lose the love they want most, in just as many ways as do our “lords of creéea- tion.’”’ go on the theory that possession means ‘*‘mine forever’ and forget that now- aG@ays “until death do us part’? may mean ‘‘until the courts decide’ whicn of them ig in error. Yet, in all fairness to Mother Eve's sex, be it known that she, times with- out number, will “grin and bear,” suf- fer in silence and put up with the man she has sworn to “love, honor and obey” for the sake of little ones or of other extenuating circumstances. The history of life shows that vy the very virtue of her makeup she will make such sacrifices as only a woman can, That’is perhaps one reason why man should strive to use forbearance with the mothers of the race. But that there are many ways, whether knowing- ly or not, by which women surely kill the love of their husbands, is beyond cavil. Some of them are: By being suspicious of his time spent away from her. By refusing to recognize that men want men friends. By appearing before him in the ever~. lasting kimono or wrapper. By being always out when he returns home. By insisting on the home being so or- derly that he is afraid of using it. _ By unkind treatment of his friends. By displaying jealousy without any real foundatien. | By insisting on selecting his neckties. By burdening him with household cares. By telling him of all the petty annoy- ances of the children when he comes home at night. By making a practice of delicatessen meals. By continuing to talk about an old grievance. By sulking and brooding and not for- getting. By everlastingly trying to “manage” him. By refusing to be a when he needs one. By refusing to mfwhremhtouordimtw By trying to wean him from a pet hobby. By criticising him before company. By refusing to see his jokes. And, above all, by forgetting that a little love now and then Its relished by “good fellow’ the worst of husbands.

Beginning with the year 1910, White’s work in the ring began to attract some attention and he was able to -secure matches of greater pretension.

But Old Dope says to “lay off that stuff.” | Everett. Reason: left Oak Park and is now with Illi- nois U..-. Everett had a crack eleven and this year would probably have trimmed any Western eleven, but the case is excep- tion dus to the unusual material pos- sessed by Everett High, which was not scored on thig season, and to the un- usual coaching the team received from Briokley of Harvard. This star, a grad- uate of Everett, was able to use Har- vard’s successful methods on his ‘‘prep’’ eleven. West Has Beaten East. The West has achieved just as im- portant victories over HDastern prepara- tory school teams. One Chicago eleven defeated gn plage 9 title holder, Brook- lyn Polytechni by an even greater score than Oak rk was beaten. As a general rule, however, it is prob- ably true the class of Eastern prepara- tory school elevens will be found higher than that of Western schools, due to the fact that they start learning signals in the cradle, almost. * -s .

By Herbert Reed, The Post-Dispatch’s Eastern Feotball Authority. NEW YORK, Deo. 1—There is a blind demand every year for the so-called ranking of the big Hastern elevens, and there is as a rule a blind answer to a blind demand. It is of no moment to tnquire what one team would have done against an- other had there been need of the best, and in ranking the elevens it is worth while to consider their natural rivalries. Ranking the teams according to what they set out to do, compared with what they accomplished, Harvard must comé first, for the Crimson put away its twe big games by — margins, all times holding the whip hand over the Blue and the orange and biack. ; Under the clever coaching of Haugh- ton and his aids, the Crimson outfit ac- counted for every — that was really worth while, and the Army, albeit with a much easier schedule, was a close second, Cornell was able to complete the sea- gon with a thorough success in that the Ithacans disposed. of both Michigan and Pennsylvania, which, with a Syracuse victory, about winds up the successes of the larger ,elevens against Western teams in the Hast. Yale had more than half a successful season in that the Blue was able to dispose of Princeton, in spite of allround play of the excellent Harvard team. Dartmouth Had the Power. Curious that perhaps THE MOST POWPRFUL ELEVEN IN THD EAST, Dartmouth, was unable to do better than a defeat against Princeton. This gen Dartmouth’s great game, and since lost, and very ae poor cy there mouth lost “ith game, “3 “thereafter Was engage of lesser Class. with materials of the best and a Den pe system that did great amount of confi- he Ou nee ee season was about as a failure ag that of any, ane in _ te #y team and individual rallies, did not ount to much. The Quakers have Soc boiindl the times for some years, which is alone enough to explain other defeats not merely at the hands of Cor- nell, but reverses at the hands of teams not always in their class. A reasonable rating them would read: (1) Harvard, (2) Army, (8) Yale, (4) Princeton, (5) Navy, (6) Cornell, (7) Dartmeuth, (8) Penn- syivania. Had there been a fine brain back of the husky Dart- mouth eleven there is no telling what heights they would have attained. Dartmouth, indeed, was one of the “‘nugsle’ teams of the season. Prob- okie no eleven on the field boasted of more power and probably only the Navy boastéd of more weight. There was a lapse of modern football, however, that spoil the best efforts of a star ‘back- field d a husky fme. Three Good Lines. There were on the field this year just three lines of the first class: Har- varé, Army and Cornell. The last named was made by Cornell's line coach the first and second by a galaxy otf stars that had been in harnéss for many years. The ranking of the teams as giv-~ en is purely the personal choice of one ‘who has studied their efforts, and not that of one who is over-famillar witi the play of the individual! positions.

Man Savage Did’nt Score Touchdown on Kansas, but Will Get His ‘M’ St. Louis Boy, Who Worked for Four Years as a “‘Scrub,” Will Be Rewarded for Loyalty and Help to Tigers. By PHILIP BRADLEY. Missouri University Representative for the Post-Dispatch. ‘ COLUMBIA, Mo., Res. 1. F Phil Savage, the St. Louis boy who has been playing football four years on the Missouri Tigers’ scrub team, had made that touchdown against the Kan- sas Jayhawkers which papers all over the country reported him to have made, he would have attained a goal towards which he has been working and atriv- ing all his college life. The touchdown won the fiercely con- tested Tiger-Jayhawker game and, be- cause Savage had been sent into the game —_ before the play, a. trick one in which Savage feinted at carrying the ball while Woody really carried it over, the whole press box made a mis- take and Savage was credited with the touchdown. It was hard luck; to have striven for years to make the team and then. after his last game, be forced to tell hundreds of admiring friends that he had not made the great play was heart- breaking. And it came after the same identical mistake had been made in the Washington U. game. In that game. Wilder, also from St. Louis, scored a touchdown and the reporters got it wrong and gave it to Savage. Will Get His Letter. However, no less credit should be given Savage. In this last year, when he had almost given up hope for getting his “M,” he was put into three Missouri Valley Conference games and surprised the rooters by plunging for long gains. As a just reward for hig long service to the will be awarded his letter. During the years that Savage played football on the Missouri scrubs he never missed a practice when he was physically able to be out.

Kern never despairs. He has won most of his bouts, and lost some; but he always comes back. It’s a habit John has. He was that way as an amateur He believes in boxing, and thinks it 3 great sport. This time Kern hooks up with the good-natured and ever- willing Scotty McMurdo, who takes his victories with becoming grace and never complains when he meets with defeat, always do: ing his best. He and Kern should put up an interesting bout, in which there will likely be some very hard hitting, as they are exceptionally strong men at 14, pounds.

Dec. 1. OLITICS and eivic affairs have been lost sight of here since the an- P nouncement yesterday that arrangements had at last been concluded whereby the Missouri School of Mines football team is to play the eleven of the Christian Brothers’ College for the State championship, at St. Louis, Saturday. Every one of the long list of “prom- inent”’ citizens is trying .to arrange to get away from his business or personal affairs in time to make the trip to St. Louis. Every student at the School of Mines who can ‘hold out carfare will be at the game.

A considerable sum will probably be available when the delegation arrives in St. Louis Friday night. it is probable that the eagerness of the Rollaites will make the Miners favorites for the game. Arrangements for the game were made with the school authorities opposed to the proposition. The players, as mat- ters now stand, are going to play the game as individuals and not as a school team; but the fact remains that all the regulars will be in the game and that the contest will settle the State title.

FORMER INDIANA JUSTICE ARRESTED IN SEPARATION SUIT} Wife Says She Believes Alfred Ennis Is About to Leave Jurisdiction of Court. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Diapatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 1—Alfred Ennis, a former Supreme Court Justice of In diana, who is the father of Mrs. George Horace Lorimer of Philadelphia, Ww’ arrested in the Hotel Marseille, in 4 suit for separation brought by Mrs. Norma Scheller Ennis. Mrs. Ennis ‘8 27 years old, and 43 years the junior of her husband. She obtained an arres* order On the ground that she believed her husband was about to leave the court’s jurisdiction. In the Sheriff's of- fiee, the white-haired prisoner was held in $1000 bail - Mrs. Lorimer, who is the wife of the president of the Curtis Publishing Co., which publishes the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines, was greatl' perturbed when she learned over the long-distance telephone that her father |l was under arrest. She said she would communicate at once with a New York firm of lawyers. In her petitton, Mrs. Ennis says she was married May i6 last, and in August her husband desert- ed her. Her mother, Mrs. Matilda Schil- ler, she says, advanced Ennis $2000 at the time of the marriage on the supposi- tion that he was wealthy, but in tem- porarily embarrassed circumstances. Told of Property He Owned. The former Justice told mother and daughter, it is alleged, that he had been a big corporation lawyer and owned much valuable land. This included 25) acres at Topeka, Kan., worth $4000 an acre; 67 acres of stone quarry in Bed- ford, Ind., worth from $6000 to $10,000 an acre, and 8 acres, which included the Sierra Bonanza silver mine. Bridegroom, bride and bride’s mother went to the Hotel Latham to live and thereafter moved to the Aberdeen, to the Majestic and to Haddon Hall. Some of the $2000 was used to furnish the bride’s apartment. In June, the wife says, the Judgs told her he had bustness in the West. They supposed he went there. Instead, they learned he went to the Marseilles, Still, they reecived letters from him, mailed in the Weat. Mrs. Ennis says she was “attracted by Judge Ennis’ commanding personal- ity and his noble character, which he asked me to believe he /possessed. I have, however, since learned that the defendant fixed his attentions on me and married me because of his desire to use me as an instrument in connection with his various promoting schemes.”’ Many Tradesmen’s Bill Due. When she would not supply money for the schemes or take part in them the Judge left her, Mrs. Ennis says, and after a time she came to believe he neither intended to return nor t» repay her mother the $2000 he, had bor- rowed. Before he went he signed a lease of the apartment in Haddon Hall. She alleges there are many tradesmen's bills, besides obligations incurred for the expensive furniture. Every time she goes to the door, she says, she is sure to find someone with a bill. Mrs. Ennis. says of Mrs. Lorimer: “She met me and disillusioned me as to the good opinion in which I heli her father. She is a refined woman.” FORMER PRESIDENT OF BOSTON & MAINE DEAD Lucius Tuttle Began With the Railroad as Ticket Seller 45 Years Ago. BROOKLINE, Mass., Dec. 1.—Lucius Tuttle, former president of the Boston & Maine Railroad, died last night at his home here. His health had been im- paired since an operation for a gangren- al affection three years ago, in which one leg was amputated. He was president of the Boston & Maine Railroad for 17 years, his first po- sition being that of a ticket clerk, which he took 45 years ago. At every session of the Legislature for a long period the railroad was accused of maintaining a permanent lobby in a room in a hotel in Concord, N. H., and of using undue influence to obtain legis- lation favorable to the Boston & Maine. Tuttle always denied improper methods in connection with the Legislature. Salute Guna Injures Two.

Wendel Head of Family That Kept Holdings Intact 200 Years. | By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 1—The death yes- terday in California of John G. Wendel head of an old New York City family. which was one of the largest owners of real estate here, will probably serve to throw into the hands of his four sur- viving sisters between $40,000,000 and 950,- 000,000 of the choicest real estate in this city. Much of this property is in un- improved lots and in parcels on which the buildings are of little value. It has been the family custom for 200 years to will real estate holdings to surviving members of the family, and if Mr. Wendel continued this custom his fcur sisters will each own, including their present holdings, $20,000,000 worth ot real estate. Mr. Wendel died at the home of his: nephew, H. OC. Holweda, at Santa Mon- ica, near Los Angeles. He was stricken with paralysis after a recent trip to the Pacific Coast. The surviving sisters are Mary E. A Wendel, Rebecoa A. D. Wendel Swope. Ella Von E. Wendel and Georgiana U kr. Wendel. Another sister, Josephine, died last spring and in accordance with the custom of her family, divided hor $3,000,000 estate among her brothers and sisters. 200 Years in Real Estate. For more than'200 years the Wendel fomily has been buying real estate in Manhattan and vicinity, while following a policy of rarely, if ever, selling, and as rarely. making improvements on their holdings when improvements could be rossibly avoided. As a result of this policy Wendel, a bachelor in his eightieth year, and some- times spoken of as "the Russell Sage of Broadway,’ has been managing a for- tune in realty valued as high as $50,000,- 00v. “In 200 years or more we have not sold a piece of property in New York, and we never shall,””.Mr. Wendel was quoted as saying in 1909, when he was interviewed about the fight he was then making against the condemnation of his property at 4 Dey street by the city for a new subway terminal. Wendel never went in for office dis- play at his business headquarters at 17% Broadway, an old, musty building. Wendel could be found among ancient safes and high old wooden desks at which bookkeepers and clerks stood at their work. His Business Text. A sign on the office wall has been the business text or the house from Wendel’s day back to the time of the grandfather, John G. Wendel, for whom he was named, and for generations be- yond that. It reads: WE DO NOT SELL PROPERTY. Wendel’s office force always has been small. He preferred, whenever possi- ble, to collect his rents personally. An interviewer once suggested to Mr. Wendel’ that the policy of his famiy of never selling real estate ‘‘probably Was patterned after the practice of the Astor family.’’ ““‘We had real estate before John Jacob Astor,”” replied Wendel curtly. ‘Sentiment is our reason for not sell- ing.”’ CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FOR CAIRO DESPITE WAR Trustees Take Up Plans for In- stitution, Which Will Have - Wide Scope. NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Preliminary steps for the construction and mainte- nance of a Christian University at Cairo, Higypt, were taken here last night by the s9cently chosen Board of Trustees. The board decided to push the work, notwithstanding conditions in Egypt due te the war. The Rev. Dr. J. K. McClurdin, pastor of the Shadyside United Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg, Pa., was elected president. The university is to “include a colile- giate department, a graduate school with courses in Arabic literature and history, Islamic theology and criticism, Biblical archeology and political science, educa- tion, Christian apologetics, agriculture, engineering, law and journalism. TRUSTS HAVE A GUARD WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—‘‘There may be a binder made by the Harvester Trust on the reverse side of the new $10 Federal reserve note,” said Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Malburn to- day, ‘‘and there may be a picture of the Illinois steel works, both of which con- cerns the Government hase ben investi- gating, but you will notice that on the other side we have an old gentleman, a real Democrat, too, in the presence of Andrew Jackson. There will be no danger from either of these trusts as long as Jackson stands guard over them.,”’ ' This comment of Malburn was the re- sult of some criticism heard in Wall street about the makeup of the new $10 Federal note.

Seth Low and the other members of the commission are expected in Wash- ington Dec. 14, ta confer with Depart- officials. ment of Labor Lala in Delicate Position Are Taking No Part in War Sessions. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, Nov. 2.—The lives of those . officially designated as “alien enemies” in England are not cheerful these days, although they are not tn danger of vi- olence. The only outbreak against them was the recent rioting in the suburbs of London, when several German shops were an yssbZ 3. The rioters received a lesson likely to put a damper on future outbreaks. The ringleader was sentenced to one year In prison, two supporters to six months and 18 others wete released on bonds under condition that they fulfill tne fervently expressed ambition (6 eniist in Kitchener’s army. Hostility against Germans has been caused principally by the popular: be- lief that all of them are active, or nossible spies. The most recent cam- paign in the newspapers has been against the influential and wealthy Germans who play a powerful part in British financial life. Naturalised Ger- mans, as well as those who retain the allegiance of their birth, are included in the general cloud of suspicion. M. Ps. Stay Away. There are several German-born mem- bers of Parliament, and by an under standing among themselves, they are remaining away from Westminster dur- ing the war sessions. None of them has yet resigned. A few days azo Sev- eral newspapers started an agitation to have all male wermans and Austrians confined in concentration camps, and @ general round-up was under way. Two things nipped this movement in the bud. One was prompt retaliation in Germany, where all English residents were gathered in by the police, and the other was the difficulty of finding ac- commodations for the great number of foreigners who were eligible for the concentration camps. Spies are sharply divided into two classes by British opinion. For the. German naval reserve, Lieut. Cari Lody, who was shot in the Tower of London, the papers have had unkind to say. For a naturalized ber named Ernst, who was sentenced i seven years’ imprisonment, there has been execration. The Judge who sen- tenced Ernst called him a “contemptible © creature,” and said he would have been as willing to betray Germany as he was to betray England, if paid for his work. Ernst acted as a go-between in for- warding letters for the chief of the Ger- man-British espionage system, named Steinauer, and his wages were only 30 shillings a month. Scctland Yard de- tectives had been shadowing Steinauér’s and read his letters, it is said, and per- mitted those to go on which contained harmless and misleading information. Public opinion places in entirely dif- ferent classes the spies who do thelr work in time of war and take chances, pnd those who follow the business in time of peace, professing friendship for the country and making their living in it. Many Clews Offered. None of the possible but unprovabls things has taken so firm a hold on pop- ular belief, except the once reported passage of Russian hosts from Scotland ic France, as the wonderful doings of German spies. The authorities are in- undated with revelations and clews, The whole east coast of England is swarming with men who send flash- if the stories of the newspapers in coast towns are correct. One man has sent the authorities a most detailed account of the code mes- sages tranamitted by red and white lights from the neighborhood of his home, but the police have never been able to see there signals with the same eyes as the discoverers. Germans have made excavations, have laid concrete foundations for heavy siege guns at strategic points and have built cunning- ly concealed roads from landing bases, according to some of the most strongly urged clews. Behind the masses of suspicion and rumor there is enough activity by the Germans, discovered from time to time, to keep the public in a state of uneasi- ness. The suspicion that the Germans have a base for submarines, or a supply station for aeroplanes and wireless ap- paratus, in remote parts of the Scottish coast, may be founded on fact. The. ac- tivities of the German navy far from its own coasts, which have enabled it te scatter mines off the North of Ireland, and to sink the superdreadnaught Au- dacious by mine or submarine, fur- nished ground for that theory. The Gov- ernment has given it sufficient belief to circulate placards in Scotland offeting a reward of $00 for the discovery of any base for hostile supplies of petrol or hostile wireless.

LA CROSSE, Wis., Dec. 1.—Plans for the complete protection of young women at the World's Fair at San Francisco ‘Were announced today by John H. Ham- mond of Des Moines, chairman of the 104 PERCENT IN NEW YORK MARKET Funds Are in Liberal Supply on Good Collateral; Bond Trading Fair. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatchs NEW YORK, Dee. 1.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: ‘‘Numerous influences ¢onspired today to increase the cheerfulnéss of the finan- cial atmosphere. The decided ease of money, rates for demand loans declining to much the lowest level since July— was perhaps the most impressive of these developments. It is quite a vesibte | that this general downward tendency in the loan market is responsible for the very meager rediscounting of paper, thus far, with the Federal reserve banks. “A deal of emphasis was nat- urally placed today on the large num~ ber of shares which have lately changed hands, through the restricted machinery of the Stock Exchange clearing house, at prices higher than Suly 30. No doubt that particular market is not a wholly convincing test of the actual status of vaives; but the fact at least remains that someone has been willing to pay those prices, and that the market has not simply stood at the minimum level allowed by the Stock Exchange. “The announcement from the clearing house that all of the loan certificates is- sued during the war disturbance to meet balances between New York banks had now been called in and canceled, ‘came earlier than had been expected. “Whether the use of the clearing house loan certificates was on this occasion ever really necessary is a question over which the financial doctors will always disagree. It was not known when the use of the loan certificates was author- ized on Aug. whether the Aldrich- Vreeland currency act would operate smoothly and rapidly enough to meet the immediate emergency; it was not known that the administration at Wash- ington would handle the situation in the masterly way which is now a matter of history.
