NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The directors of the Amen Corner, whose annual dinner in February attracts wide at- tention, have decided not to have a dinner this winter. Charles T. White, the president, said: “There is a pronounced sentiment among the brethren against making merry this winter. The conviction is ‘unanimous that a $10-a-plate dinner of 800 people would be inappropriate when evidence is plentiful that many in New York will, before the winter is over, be without sufficient food and clothing.” MAN ON TRIAL KILLS TWO IN COURTROOM Double Shooting by Defendant Who Is Charged With At- tacking a Gir’.

Lawrence C. Huegel, superintendent of identification at the Jefferson City penitentiary, came to police headquar- ters at 6 o’clock this morning and re- quested a search for John C. Martin, alias George Seymour, pickpocket. “Don't give this case publicity,” he urged.. “They'll never get through kid- ding me at Jefferson City.” Here is Huegel’s story of what had occurred. He was en route te the State prison from Toledo, O., with Martin, a convict, who had violated his parole by picking pockets in Fort Wayne, Ind. Martin once killed another pickpocket in Toledo. Martin was serving a seven-year sen- tence at Jefferson City for picking pock- ets in Kansas City, when Gov. Major paroled him, Jan. 8, last, to former State Senator David Nelson, who vouched for his future behavior. : Martin telegraphed from Toledo for Nelson to meet him at Union Station and when the train arrived Nelson and another man, who was not introduced to the prison officer, were at Union Station. Martin and Nelson greeted each other and Nelson requested Hue- gel to remove the handcuffs from Mar- tin’s wrists. “He’s going to be good now and you don’t have to watch him,” Nelson told the officer. ‘I will be personally re- sponsible for him while he is here.”’ Huegel granted the request and per- mitted Martin to stroll about with him more as a companion than gs a prison- er. The party had breakfast at Union Station and then Nelson said he was go- ing home to get some sltep. Huegel'and Martin lounged about ...e station until 5:15 o’clock. Then Huegel recalled that Frank (Gut- ter) Newman, who worked in his depart- ment while serving a lU-year sentence for highway robbery, was tending bar at the saloon of William Hgan, Four- teenth street and Franklin avenue. New- man was released about two years ago on parole after serving five years. He was convicted of robbing a woman. Prisoner Walks Away. “Let’s go up to see Gutter,’’ Huegel suggested. Martin accepted tne invita- tion and the two took & street car. New- man was behind the bar and was glad to see his old friend. MHuegel did not mention the fact that Martin was 2 pris- oner. Drinks were served and then more drinks. Huegel and Martin became more con- fidential as they drank. Finally Huegel excused himself and went to a back iroom. Martin told the bartender he was going out to get a breath of fresh air and left by way of a Sile door. That was the last seer of Martin, Hue- gel told the police. The officer went out to the sidewalk and looked up and down the street for his prisoner, but the latter was not in sight. Sv Hueget jumped on a car and hurried to Police Head- quarters. Martin was born and reared in the neighborhood of Fourteenth street and Franklin avenue. Senator Nelson, who is connected with a theater near Grand avenue and Olive street, was interested in him, Martin confided to Huegel, Continued on Page 3, Column 6. easthunanaeall For ae 401 consecutive Sundays newspapers in the volume of over 77% years the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH has led all other St. Louis business carried.

Frank’s conviction of the murder of Mary Phagan, an At- lanta factory girl. Frank’s only hope to escape the death penalty now lies in a possible commu- tation of sentence by the Georgia Gov- ernor. “ His petition had previously been re- fused by two members of the Supreme Court individually. Various efforts for @ new trial had failed before the case finally went to the Supreme Court, Lawyers generally in Georgia de- clare that Frank should not have been tried at the time he was convicted in Atlanta. At that time, it is said, feelins was so strong against him that it would have been unsafe for members of the jury to have returned any other verdict Frank was convicted largely on the testimony of a negro, who himself was sentenced to prison as an accomplice. COTTON PIT INQUIRY BY CONGRESS IS ASKED —— oe Representative Tribble Wants an Investigation of Price. Lowering in New York. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Congressional investigation of the New York Cotton Exchange and its method of dealing with the present situation was aesked in a resolution today by Representative Tribble of Georgia. “When the cotton the price of cotton was exceedingly low and vet the New York exchange ham- mered down the price 1 cent per pound almost immediately. This was a fair test of the methods employed. The ex- change was closed and opened on a low market and yet the opening of the ex- change cost the farmers of the South millions of dollars. “If. I obtain an investigation and the facts can be brought out it will in all probability bring about prosecution of those guilty of fleecing the farmers of their well-earned profits and may result in the total abolishment of the ex- changes.”’ The resolution Rules Committee. ROCKEFELLER RELIEF FOR BELGIANS - $1,000,000 NRW YORK, Dec. 7.—The Rockefeller Foundation has spent about $1,000,000 for the relief of the starving population of Belgium and “is ready to spend mil- lions of dollars, if necessary, in this di- rection,”’ according to a statement de- tailing the activities ef the foundation, which was authorized last night by John D. Rockefeller Jr., its president. The foundation also has just voted tw contribute $45,000 to assist in the relief of the poor of New York City, realizing “that the war and the industria] de- ression have created great want at ome,’ and acting upon requests from various loca] charitable organizations.

Storm warnings were aflutter from Hat- teras, N. C., to Hast Port, Me., advis- ing marines to seek safe harbors. The velocity of the gale last night touched the high records in some in- stances. At midnight the wind was liowing 72 miles an hour at Block Island; 60 at Nantucket; 60 at Sandy Hook; © at Delaware breakwater, and v6 at Cape Hatteras. When the storm hecame central off the Virginia Capes today, however, the wind velocity in that vicinity increased. In Hampton Roads the old frigate Con- stellation rode safely at anchor after s perilous experience Saturday night when the gale parted her from her tugs. Small shipping in Chesapeake Bay was damaged by the storm and the wind blew the water into the streets of Nor- folk. -—_—--—. Fire Boat Sunk in Gale in New York Harbor.

ROME, Dec. 7.—Giavanne Glolitti, former Premier, in a speech in Parlia- ment Saturday announcing his approval of the policy. of the Government, said he thought it was necessary to empha- size that Italy always has been loyal to treaties and in this connection added: “I feel it my duty to recall a prece- dent showing how correct was the in- terpretation of the alliance by the Gov- ernment, when the conflict began. Dur- ing the Balken war, on Aug. 9, 1918, be- ing absent from Rome, I received the following telegram from the late Mar- quis di San Guiliano (the late Marquis di San Giuliano was, at the time re- ferred to, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet of which Signor Giolitti was Premier); ‘Austria has communi- cated to us and Germany that it has been the intention to act against Servia, defining such action as defensive and hoping for an application of a casus foederis (case covered by the treaty) by the Triple Alliance, which I considér inapplicable. I am _ try- ing to agree with Germany con- cerning efforts to prevent Austrian ac- tion, but it may be necessary to say clearly that we do not consider such eventual action as defensive and there- fore do not think that there exists casus foederis. Please send a telegram wheth- er you approve.’ “T answered Marquis di San Giuliatio thus: “Tf Austria goes against Servia a ¢asus foederis evidently does not exist. It’ is action she accomplishes on her It is not defensive be- cause nobody thinks of attacking her. It is necessary to declare this to Aus- tria in the most formal manner, hoping that Germany will act to dissuade Aus- tria from a very dangerous adventure.” “This was done and our interpretation of the treaty was accepted by our allies. our friendly relations not being in the 1 least disturbed. Thus the declaration of neutrality, made at the beginning of this conflict, is according te the spirit and letter of the treaties. I recall this inci- dent. wishing to demonstrate the com- plete loyalty of Italy before the eyes of Hurope.”’ Indian Princes Have Given $4,000,000 for War Expense LONDON, Dec. 7.—Contributions by ruling Princes of India to the expenses of the war now amount approximately to $4,000,000, according to a telegram fre- ceived from Delhi. This sum includes $2,000,000 from the Nizam of Hyderabad and $1,660,000 from the Mahajara of My- sore. Besides this, about $950,000 has been subscribed to the Prince of Wales relief fund and the Indian relief fund. A further sum of nearly $150,000 haa been given by the chiefs in the form of heavy motor cycles, telescopes and kin- dred equipment, and $120,000 has been giv- en by Mahajara Scindlia of Gwaliora, who also presented a motor ambulance corps consisting of 41 cars for the use of the troops in Europe and is arranging for the establishment of a convalescent home in East Africa. Many of the chiefs have presented horses, mules and camels and even their private motor cars. A hosp'tal ship, which is splendidly equipped, is another donation. Britain Discussed Neutrality Situa- tion With Belgium in 1913. LONDON, Dec. 7.~—With reference to the statements implying that Great Britain ever had contemplated violation of Belgium neutrality, the British For- eign Office has issued a record of the conversation which Sir Bdward Grey. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, had with the Belgian Minister on April 7, 1913. In reporting the conversation to the British Minister at Brussels, Sir Ed- ward Grey said it had been brought to his knowledge that there was apprehen- sion in Belgium that England would be the first to violate Belgian neutrality. He pointed out to the Minister that he did not think this apprehension could have come from a British source and he was sure England would not be the first to violate the neutrality otf Belgium. ‘What England had to con- sider was what it was desirable and necessary for England, as one of the guarantors of Belgian neutrality, to do if Belgian neutrality were violated by any Power.” Sir Edward continued: “For us to be the first to violate it and to send troops into Belgium weuld | be to give Germany, for instance, justi- fication for sending troops into Belgium. Also what we desired in the case of Belgium, as in that of other neutral that their neutrality should be respected, and as long as it is not violated by any other Power w@ selves into their wom - a ee ee POSLAM SOAP BEST SHAMPOO FOR DANDRUFF BENEFITS THE SCALP For health of hair and purity of scalp, shampoo with POSLAM SOAP.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The nation's military and navel expenses during the next fiscal year, not including certain fixed expenses, would amount to $256,- 421,357, compared with $261,284,167 during the current year under plans as em- bodied in estimates submitted to Con- gress today. This amount provides for the regular army, the military academy, the militia so far as its cost to the Federal Government is concerned, forti- fications, arsenals, military posts and the naval establishment, including the proposed naval building program and the increase in the navy heretofore au- thorized. The. tentative pduiintesenthen naval building program for the next fiscal year, aa indicated in the estimates, is for two battleships, six torpedo boat de- stroyers, eight or more submarines, one oiler and one gunboat, one of the sub- marines to be of the sea-going type ani seven or moré to be of the coast de- fense type. these vessels alone would cost during the coming year almost $10,000,000 and their arms and armament $9,425,000. Democratic Leader Underwood, some of the membérs of the Naval Commit- tees and others in Congress, having in mind the European war’s lessons, favor an increase in submarines rather than in the larger type of naval craft. This sentiment is expected to be injected into the debates during the present session. Tentative estimates for the naval pro- gram are all ‘‘on the assumption that new vessels authorized at this session will be built by contract.’’ The finai program will be obtained by Secretary Daniels just before the naval Dill is reported to the House. Submarine mines, an important factor in the European conflict, are provided for. For purchase of mines and neces- sary appliances to operate them “for closing the channels leading to our prin- cipal seaports and for continuing tor- pedo experiments,’’ an appropriation of $191,330 is asked. There is also proposed $68,000 for maintenance of submarine mine materia! and for torpedo depot ad- ministration in continental United States. For fortifications in the insular pos- session, $446,000 is asked, an increase of $90,000. The, Panama Canal fortifications aggregate $1,942,228, an increase of $717,- 673, including $25,000 pee torpedo build- ings and $70,000 for hases,..manu- | facture and test of amt nition for sea- coast and land defense cannon and ma- chinery necessary for its manufacture at the arsenal and for maintenance of seacoast artillery. More Than 100,000 Irishmen Now Fighting for England LONDON, Dec. 7.—Speaking at a great demonstration at Tuam, Ireland, yester- day, John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalist party, replied to state- ments that Ireland was not doing her duty in the present crisis. He quoted official statistics showing that, despite the fact that emigration had drawn from Ireland the flower of her popula- tion, there were serving with the mili- tary forces of the Crown on Nov. 30, 89,- 000 ‘Irishmen, who had been in the army before the war began or who had joined as reservists or recruits. If to these were added tens of thousands of Irish recruits who were joining the colors in Great Britain, or were now in the ranks of the Canadian, Austrian or New Zea- land contingents, he said, it was safe to say that from 130,000 to 140,000 Irishmen were with the colors. Redmond declared that 652,000 of the 89,000 Irishmen in the home army were Catholics. He said that 10,112 Ulster volunteers had gone to the colors from Belfast, while in the same city the Na- tionalist ‘ volunteers, who represented only a quarter of the population, had contributed 3513 men. This, he believed, was only the beginning of what Irish- men would do.

He stated tw Mr. Gardner that he was entirely in favor of the fullest inquiry by the com- mittee of Congress and that there were no facts in the possession of the exec- utive departments which was not at th» disposal of those committees.”’ Gardner Questions President. During his call Gardner read the fol- lowing two questions to the President: “There are two ways of defeating my), resolution. It ean be defeated on a square yea and nay vote, or it can be pigeon-holed in the Committee on Rules, Which course do you advise? “Will you authorize army and navy officers to testify before the Rules Committee on my invitation, either with or without restrictions or instructions?’’ When Gardner left the President, he refused to say what answer had been given to his questions. White House officials said the formal statement given out would be the only comment on the call. Gardner said he was not surprised at the President's position not to press for passave of his resolution. He will con- sult with other members of Congress to learn their views. President for Adequate Navy. Prior to Gardner’s call, Chairman Till- man of the Senate Naval Committee dis- cussed naval defenses with the Presi- dent. Later he said he and the Presi- dent agreed that the United States should have an adequate navy in accord- ance with the declarations of the last Democratic platform. He added that the naval experts would have to determine what an adequate navy Was. Cost of Living Hardly Has Increased in France PARIS, Nov. 26.—More than 100 days of war; the mobilization of three mil- lion men; their equipment and feeding and the feeding of 2,000,000 Belgian ref- ugees and of 80,000 German prisoners have had no appreciable effect on the cost of living in France. Production, however, has been~restricted by the oceupation by the enemy of several de- partments and the distribution of food- stuffs has been hindered by the calis made upon the transportation facilities by the army. Méats advanced slightly at the out- set, a purely speculative movement, but combinations of housewives buying at wholesale at the central markets soon put a stop to it.

Miss Storz returned yes- terday to her home in Omaha, by way of Kansas City. The letter from her ex- husband was written to her the day be- fore his death. Miss Storz refused to make the let- ter public. It was held up several days by the local postoffice authorities be- velope bearing the English , Govern- ment’s frank, which indicated the con- tents probably were subject to custom duties, Because of this it was neces- sary for Miss Storz to come to the cus- toms office here and open the envelope for inspection. and a ring, set with a solitaire, the band of which had been her wedding ring, and which had been made by Capt.

Sam Mintz, arch-thief, In his amasing career of unpunished crime, was found by the police this morning in the hol- low leg of a table in Mintz’s quarters at 2815 Gamble street, where he was shot by a mysterious assailant Saturday night. Mintz’s death at the city hospital yes- terday ended seven years’ constant ac- tivity in thieving, following the three- years’ prison term, which was the only penalty ever inflicted on him by the law, and which ended in August, 1907. In the table leg was found a red plush box containing these articles of jewelry—a gold bracelet, with the in- scription “A. J. K. to Mother, 9-23-'11;" a gold signet ring with the initials “A. J. K.”; a gold ring with diamond set- ting, a gold band ring, a gold ring with ruby setting, a gold watch and chain, the watch containing the same initials and pictures of a woman and a child; a woman’s gold chain and two gold ouff buttons. No Clew te Slayer. Little progress has been made by the police toward finding the man who killed Mintz, His story that two men ‘attacked him, after having appeared at his rear door and demanded money from him, is not credited, and the statements of neighbors indicate that only one man went to the house. The police believe that, if the mystery of the killing .4 ever solved, it will be shown that a dis- gruntlied accomplice, or a rival in crime, ended Mintz’s lite, i Mintz, the police believe, knew. who shot him. In refusing to give the police the man’s name, he was protecting him- self in case he should recover and wa‘ carrying out his boast of ‘ast years that he was ‘“‘no snitch.”’ A year and a half ago a number of the most experienced d ectives in the city’s service united in ‘eclaring fh «ta to be the biggest handler of stolen wa:ecs in the West, much of 't being taken in wagon loads from the doors of wholo- sale establishments and freight depots. Mintz was declared by these detec- tives to be the brains, the planning and directing force, of the freight car and wagon thieves, and to have furnished them protection and a market. .-One murder, that of Brake ian P. Cahill of the Burlington Railroac, was charged to box car thieves who were believed to be working under Mintr’s direction, but no one was punished for it. Mintz was arrested at least a dozen ttmes on definite charges, and a num- ber of other times on suspicion, yet the only conviction obtained against him was in 1903, in the case of « “fence” at 2620 Franklin avenue, where the police found a large part of a stolen consignment of 176 cases of shoes, taken from the Big Four Railroad and the St. Louis Transfer Co. Clarence Rector, a teamster, con< fessed that he had hauled the goods from Bast St. Louls for Mintz, re« ceiving $35 from him. Mintz exhaust<- | ed the law’s delays, then went to the penitentiary early in 1905, and served three years, minus his “good time,” for Mints was a model prisoner. In November, 1911, after a particu« lariy heavy season of wagon thefts, in which the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Co., the Day Rubber Co. and other firma lost goods worth thousands of dollars, Mints and Fred (‘Lefty’) Leineman were convicted, James H.

SEY 6 Ser SO ME, ROIS ae ae ek By Associated Press. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Dec. 7.—David Fountain, janitor of the church in which the body of the 10-year-old school girl, Margaret Milling, was found, showed no emotion yesterday when the police took him to the little room under the belfry of the church, where the murder is be- lieved to have been committeed and where the floor still bears traces of the tragedy. The police aiso took Fountain to wu moving picture house from which hé said, after his arrest Saturday night, he had just returned when he found the child’s body, with a cord twisted about its throat. He said the ficture he had seen was an Indian romance, in which a murder was enacted. “Tt’s all been killing with me today,’’ Fountain is said by Mrs. Charles Oehler, wife of the pastor of the church, to have told her, after his return from the show, and after he had reported the discovery of the body in the basement ef the church. Stains Found on Trousers. One of the statements Fountain is said by the police to have made, while being sweated, was that he had left his work at the church Saturday afternoon, in- tent upon stealing a horse and buggy. “IT have no luck here,”’ he is reported as saying, “and I wanted to get back to Texas, where 1 used to live.’’ Fountain exhibited a trace of dismay when several stains were pointed out on his trousers. He said he had killed a chicken, but Paul Oehler, son of the pastor, asserted that Fountain had killed a turkey Thanksgiving day and that his clothes had been spattered. Fountain, the police assert he said, served two years in the penitentiary at Cherry Hill, Pa., and two, five, two and seven years, successively, im the Fort Madison (Io.) prison.

He was transferred from there to Clarinda. He says he made a daring escape and came West. He told me that his father was an in- ebriate and that he undoubtedly in- herited some of the tendencies. He told me nothing of his antecedents or his family other than that he was an American, born in Illinois.’’ Fountain Was in Iowa Asylum Two Years Before He Escaped. CLARINDA, Io., Dec. 7.—David Foun- tain, under arrest in Sacramento for the murder of a 10-year-old girl, was formerly in the Clarinda insane asylum under the name of Frank Fairchild. He was received at that institution from the insane asylum at Mount Pleasant, Io., in September 1887 and remained here until May 22, 1889, when he escaped. He simply walked out ef the yard and failed to return: The asylum records of his case are meager, but indicate he was a degenerate. His insanity was said to be due to an injury to his head. At the time he was sent to the Mt. Pleasant hospital he lived in this coun- ty, and for that reason he was returned here. RAILROAD TOLD TO CUT ITS COMMUTATION FARES Rate From Liberty to Kansas City to Be Slightly Over One Cent a Mile.

This is the first order by the commis- sion reducing railroad passenger fares below the 2-cent minimum and the com- pany is ordered to submt monthly statements to the commission of all sales of such tickets. The order provides that a 52-ride sin- gie trip ticket, valid for 30 days, between nanesas City and Liberty, shall be sold for $8.50, making each ride cost a frac- tion more than 16 cents. The distance vetween the two points is 14.18 miles, which makes the cost per mile little The rate per mile on the same kind of tickets to inter- vening points is about the same.

It is also insisted that sueh a delay would be in violation of that provision of the Constitution of the United States which prohibits involuntary servitude.’”’ Regarding trade unions and employers’ associations, the commission announces that it is making a comprehensive study of a large number of typical organiza- tions. The commission’s experts also are looking into questions of unorganized labor, scientific management in shops as it affects employes, women and children in industry, land problems, unemploy- ment, social legislation and lebor and the law. Views on Unemployment. _ Of unemployment the report says: “Nothing comes so clear to the com- mission as the imperative necessity of organizing a market for labor on a modern business basis, so that there will be no vacant jobs and idle workers in the same community at the same time, or within distance where the trans- portation is practicable. The consensus of opinion is that legislation for a na- tional svstem of labor exchanges is an immediate necessity. The plan of the commission proposes to establish a Bu- heals skin diseases If you hav »eczema, ring- worm or other itwwhing, burning, raw or pimply skin eruption, try Resinol Ointment and Res- ino] Soap and see how quickly the itching stops and the trou- ble disappears, even in severe, stubborn cases.

A mysterious young wornan prisoner at police headquarters aroused the curi- ousity of Capt. O’Brien today when she said to him: “If you knew’ who I was you'd be burning up the Wires between here and the East to tell what you had found out.” , ‘‘You’re not the long missing Dorothy Arnold, are you? asked O’Brien, face- tiously. “‘No,”’ replied the young woman, I have met Dorothy.’’ .The young woman refused to reveal her identity and said the name Irene Lane which she. gave when arrested last night was fictitious. For the iast year, she said, she, has been beating her way about the country as a tramp, dressed in a man’s clothing. Her Hair Is Short. ; When arrested she was in womans attire. A patrolman was approaching Fifteenth and Olive streets at 6:30 p. m. when he saw the young woman run, as though trying to get away from him. He chased her half a block and asked her why she ran. She replied she want- ed to get in out of the rain. The police- nan took her to headquarters. When she removed her hat it was noted that her hair was short, and when asked the reason she told of her hobo- ing experiences. “IT have been a boy a year,” she said “T reached St. Louis yesterday. Out in the suburbs I borrowed a skirt and a shirt waist from a woman and discard- ed my boy’s clothing. I am 20 years old and come of a good family in the East. I was educated in a convent and, after graduating, I taught English to Italians. She Roughed I¢ With Man. “A year ago I met a young man who was going to rough it as a hobo and | decided to go with him. I didn’t have the strength to ride thé rods, but I have often ridden on the tops of freight cars and in box cars. I have met many fa- mous hoboes, including A No, 1 anda Railroad Jack. I was never insulted b: a hobo. I would rather trust myself with them than with some young society men, The young woman said she separated from her young man companion several months ago and has been “going it alone’ since then. She left the hoboes with whom she was traveling, she said, at Blue Island, Ill. | The prisoner has light brown hair and hazel eyes. The hair is cut in mannisn style. She says she is not an actress. HARRIMAN SHOPMEN VOTE TO CONTINUE STRIKE “but and Fifth Is Not Expected to Change Result. Four of the organizations involved in the strike of shopmen on the Harriman tines have voted to continue the strike, according to an announcement made by A. O. Wharton, chairman of the rail- way department of the American Fed- eration of labor, who is in St. Louis. The vote of the fifth organization in- volved in the strike has not been re- ceived, but Wharton said the vote of the other four was such that he did not think a contrary vote of the missing or- canization would change the result. The organizations that have voted to continue the strike are the International Association of Marehinists, the Black smiths and Helpers, the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, and the Union of ‘heet Metal Workers. The vote from the Boilermakers union has not been received. Prisoner Escapes While Officer and He Drink at Bar Continued From "age One. through his acquaintance with a sister of Martin.

In addressing the members of the ranel the Court said that in April the grand jury had been requested to invea- tigate reports of much violence in the city and said that these conditions stil! existed. He said men and boys still attack women and: children’ in public places and that burglary, HighWay rdéb- bery and murderous assaults are of ton frequent occurrence. | The jury was told conditions should be investigated and if it aprears the crimes are due to an inadequate number of po- licemen, then it may be advisable for the jury to recommend that the police force be increased. The Court also called attention to reported violations of the laws against minors buying ciga- rettes and frequenting poolrooms. The Judge said he believed more pub- lic attention should be given grand jury REFUSED A NEW - TAX CASE TRIAL Judge Hitchcock Overrules Mo- tion of Capitalist Ordered to Pay $33,762.20. Judge Hitchcock today handed down a written opinion overruling the motion of John Scullin for a new trial in the suit of Collector Koeln to enforce the payment of $23,200 for Scullin’s 1909 taxes. A ‘jury last June rendered a verdict agains® Scullin for $33,762.%, which included the amount of taxes and accumulated penalties, and fees for the Collector’s attorneys, Foristel & Has- kins. Former Assessor Brinkop raised Scul-_ and then doubled it because the forme? street railway magnate failed to make a return,- as required by law. Scullin refused to pay taxes on the basis of the $1,000,000 assessment, and Koeln filed suit. Judge Hitchcock, in his opinion, sail that in order to grant a new trial it would be necessary for the Court ts find that thewtax bill against Scullin was void. No evidence was introduced to prove that it was void, the Court held. In the trial tt was shown that Brinko> directed Michael Cook, the former Dis- trict Assessor in the district in which Scullin lived, to raise the assessment from $50,000 to $500,000. Judge Hitchcock held that this was not duress, as Cook, who is now dead, was appointed by thie Mayor and confirmed by the Counci' and that his acts must be regarded aa having been made on his own initiatife, The suits of Collector Koeln against David R.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Congress got back to work again today after a six- weeks’ rest to what promises to be a billion-dollar session. With crowded calendars confronting both houses, Senators and Representa- tives settled down to passing the big appropriation bills and the administra- tion program which President Wilson will oytline in his annual address to- morrow in the hope that a special ses- sion may not be necessary after March 4. In the House, crowded galleries and Congressmen of all three parties on the floor, united in a remarkable ovation to Speaker Champ Clark as he mounted the dais and dropped his gavel at noon. A few bills were dropped in the hopper, some new membéefs were sworn in to fill vacancies and a large number of members departed to attend -the fu- neral of E. A. Merritt of New York. The House chaplain, the Rev. Harry N. Couden, in his invocation, prayed “that we may be at peace among ourselves and with all other nations.” In the Senate Chaplain Prettyman prayed: “Almighty God we pray that our mes- sage to all the people may be that of peace and our influence in all the world that of universal brotherhood.”’ Senate Meets and Takes Recess. In the Senate, Vice-President Mar- shall indulgently delayed formally call- ing the session to order while Senators held an informal reception and ex- changed greetings. After Senators Kern and Gallinger had been appointed to join a House Committee formally to notify President Wilson of the opening of the session, the Senate took a re- cess until 3 p. m. The House named Representative Un- derwood, Fitzgerald and Mann to wait upon the President with Senators Gall- inger and Kern and then a resolution was adopted fixing 12:30 p. m. tomor- row as the time of the joint session with the Senate to hear President Wil- son read his annual address. Then after resolutions of sympathy on the death of Representative E. A. Mer- ritt of New York were adopted, the cea ted Next Fiscal Year $3,392,962 Less Than Appropriations for Current Period. YY sented to Congress today put the cost of conducting the Government during the fiscal year which begins on July 1, next, at $1,090,775,134. This sum is $3,392,962 less than the congressional appropriations tor the cur- rent fiscal year, and $17,306,643 less than the estimates for the current year. Without salary increases of any kind; no estimates whatever for new public buildings and all items reduced by order of President Wilson to what depart- mental heads consider the minimum, the estimates represent the administra- tion’s effort to keep the governmental expenditures within its income, which has been decreased by the European war. By grand divisions, the estimates submitted today are as follows: Legisla- tive establishment, $7,041,049; executive establishment, $31,345,889; judicial estab- lishment, $1,240,580; Department of Agri- culture, $20,706,013; postal service, $297, 355,164; foreign intercourse, $4,607,182; military establishment, $105,866,849; naval _egtablishment, $142,619,003; Indian af- fairs, $9,533,463; pensions, $166,100,000; Panama Canal, $18,931,865; public works, $79,917,541; miscellaneous, $82,843,325; per- manent annual appropriations, $121,567,- Qi. e With the expectation that the postal service will continue to be self-sustain- ing, the postal item of $297,355,164 will be deducted, as it is returned to the treas- actual total of expenditures at $793,419.- 970. : As there is such a comparatively smal] change in the estimates, there is also comparatively little change in the items of fixed charges and new estimates for expenditures have been reduced to the minimum. While the rule is one ef re- ductions, the army and navy establish- ments alone show increases of any note The army estimate is increased to $105,- 866,850, as against a current appropria- tion of. $101,977,802; the naval estimate is $142,619,033, against a current appropria- tion of $141,393,217.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—More than $53,000,000 is estimated for improvements and maintenance of the nation’s water- ways and harbors during the fiscal year of 1916, which begins July 1, 1915. The great waterways require the larger part of the money. The total of the works is made up of a comparative- ly small number of large items and a comparatively large number of small items. The Mississippi River estimate is $10,500,000; the Ohio, $9,884,000; the Hud- son, $3,670,000; the Tennessee, more than $3,000,000; the Columbia and the Missouri, $2,500,000 each, and the Delaware, $1,500,- 000. 4 HDstimates for the Mississippi River are: Southwest Pass, $600,000; South Pass, $50,000; passes to mouth of Ohio (including expenses of Mississippi River | Commission), $6,000,000; mouth of Ohio to Minneapolis, $3,785,000; between Brain- erd and Grand Rapids, Minn., $6000: Mississippi and Leech rivers, Minnesota, $60,000. For the Ohio River below Pittsburg, $9,884,000 is asked. For the Missouri River: Kansas City to mouth, 6-foot channel, $2,200,000; Kansas City to Sioux $10,- $150, 000. Estimates for Illinois River: Calumet, $26,000; Chicago, $574,000; Waukegan, $24,- 000; Chicago River, $40,000; Calumet River, $30,000; Illinois River, $50,000, For Missouri rivers the estimates are: Gasconade River, $15,000; Osage River, $15,000.

Leaders on all sides look forward to in- teresting developments over the naval and army appropriation bills because of agitation resulting from the European war. Representative Gardner of Massa- chusetts has a resolution directing con- gressional investigation into the military preparedness of the United States for war. The first calendar business before the House today was the cotton relief legis- lation urged by Representative Henry of Texas and others, who almost pre- vented adjournment of the last session by insisting on it. The general understanding among members of both houses was that Pres- ident Wilson would press the bill for Government purchase of ocean steam- ships; the measure to pave the way for ||ultimate independence of the Philippines, and the measures proposing a compre- hensive plan of dealing with waterway improvement, and conservation of natu- ral resources. A general waterway bill to establish a nation-wide system of broad scope, such as has been indorsed by a committee of the Cabinet, probably will be urged.

His POLICE IN CHICAGO, THEIR CHEF SAYS State’s Attorney Gets Confession That Members of Gang Bought Protection. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—State’s Attorney Hoyne yesterday received further evi- dence of graft in the Chicago Police De- partment, when Clarence Class, said to have occupied the same position with the wire tappers’ fraternity that Frank Ryan did with the clairvoyants, made a confession naming a score of poiice- men who he said had accepted money for protecting wire tappers from ar- rest: Bo systematized was the work of Class, according to Hoyne, that the fifty or sixty swindlers who worked un- der his protecting wing received identi- fication eards by which the police were notified the holder belonged to the Glass crowd. Class declared that Capt. John Hal- pin and Lieut. John Tobin, suspended last night after they had been indicted on charges of bribery, and other mem- bers of the police force were regularly on the pay roll of the confidence men. Things went along well until Barney Bertsche decided to open an office to deal in Kansas lands, Hoyne said. Bertsche’ had taken. as accomplices some able land graft men and the Class crowd were alarmed at the competition promised them. This is believed to have led to the shooting affray in which Monahan, Egan, Bertsche and one or two others were wounded. a CONDUCTOR HELD UP AND MOTORMAN SHOT Two Robbers Who Board Street Car at. Meramec Highlands Loop Escape With $3. One of two robbers who boarded a street car at the Meramec Highlands loop at 8.30 p. m. yesterday, shot O. H. Enochs, the motorman, and the oth- er force€é Conductor Edward B. Koeh- ler to give up his money belt contain- ing $3. Bnochs was taken to his home, 7200 Manchester avenue, where it was found a bullet had lodged just under the skin iof his left leg above the knee. The car was standing at the loop, when the two men approached. The conductor opened the rear door and they entered the car. One remained on the rear platform while the other walked to the front where Enochs was sitting. Both drew revolvers, one covering the conductor and the other the motorman. When Enochs was slow in obeying an order to raise his hands one of the rob- bers fired. The other gave his com- panion a signal after obtaining Koeh- ler’s money belt. Then they jumped from the car and ran. One Minute Toothache Stick Stops toothache quick. All druggists, 10:.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1914. ———— 5 —— CHICAGO PLANS TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLIER Buisness Men Discuss Ques- ‘tion of Extending Eastern Time to Mississippi River. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—~Men representing banking, railroad, manufacturing «and various other interests attended a meet- ing here today cailed by the Chicago Association of Commerce, to discuss the question of extending the Eastern time zone to the Mississippi River. The change would cause Chicago to get up an hour earlier and go to bed an hour earlier than under the present time. “We merely want to give citizens more daylight in which to work and - play,” said E. U. Kimbark, chairman of the committee. “It is not a question for Chicago alone to decide, as the change would have to be made all over the territory east of tenor | River. the Mississippi, field at Gettysburg. What we want to do is to get more daylight in the average day. There are a good many cities west of Buffalo, N. ¥., the councils of which have de- cided to use Eastern time and it worked all right.”’ BLIND 30 YEARS, SEES Sight Resto-ed to Mexican War Veteran 90, Years Old.

After playing tag with work for many years, James Eads How’s hoboes are going to have a tag day. The left wing of the army of the un- employed, known as the Brotherhood Welfare Association, now intrenched in winter quarters at 221 Elm street, is “ing on a foraging expedition next LRAT REI - ..4.Gay, the chosen field of operations being the downtown district of St. Louis. It is to be distinctly understood that this expeditionary force will not be ex- pected to accept jobs as contributions to the cause. Their mission will be to sell benefit tickets at two “‘jitneys,’’ or one dime each. The benefit entertainment, under the direction of the Welfare Association and the Junior Co-opérative Association, will be given at 2228 Olive street on the evening of Dec. 19. It is promised that a hovo minstrel show will be a feature. This will be a tag day the like of which St. Louis has never seen. In- stead of stately matron and beautiful society buds the ‘“taggers’’ will be hoboes with widely varying styles of whiskers. Each hobo will have a sign on his back or chest announcing that proceeds of the benefit entertainment will be given to the unemployed. James Eads How, leader of the hoboes, says: “Everybody else has a tag day; why not the hoboes?” E. T. GRETHER CAUSES ARREST OF FORMER WIFE ————— Woman Is Fined $300 When Son Testifies Against Her in Police Court. Mary E. Doyle, divorced wife of F!ls- worth T. Grether, former Deputy Game Warden and writer on outing subjects. was fined $300 by Judge Sanders today in the Dayton Street Polic Court, on Grether'’s charge that she caused a dis- turbance at his home, 4403 Page boule- vard, at 3:30 a. m. Grether and his son were witnesses against the youth’s mother. Grether said she left him eight years ago. and had caused him much annoyance since. She telephoned to him last night, he said, and told him she intended to kill l.erself on his doorstep. He fastened the liouse to prevent her getting in, and when she appeared outside and began shouting at him, he telephoned for a policeman. The woman declared, in court, that there was a plot to “railroad’’ her to the workhouse, and when Judge San- cers announced the $300 fine, she asked, “Why didn’t you make it $500?” The Judge made no reply. SALESMAN, IN WORKHOUSE, TRIES TO END HIS LIFE Martin Brennan Slashes Wrist With Bread Knife at City Institution. Martin Brennan, 32 years old, an un- married salesman, serving a year in the workhouse for petit larceny, of which he was convicted June 4, tried to kill him- self by slashing his left wrist with a bread knife in the kitchen of the insti- tution this morning. He was taken to the city hospital in a serious condition. Brennan’: work was in the kitchen. He was observed sharpening the bread knife, but his intention was not suspect- ed. Before his conviction he lived with his mother, Mrs. Mary Brennan, at 3152 Brantner place. Brennan was a pupil of Sam Mintz, who was fatally shot Saturday night. He drove a wagon load of groceries, valued at $30, from Euclid avenue and Delmar boulevard, Sept. 8, 1913, and took it to a “‘fence’’ in which Mintz was interested.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. -§ NDAY EVENING, ASKS PRESIDENT 10 REFUSE TO RECEIVE SUFFRAGE LEADERS Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge Sends Protest Against Giving Them an Audience. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Mra. Arthur 'M. Dodge, president of the National As- sociation Opposed to Woman Suffrage, has protested to President Wilson against granting an audience to the lead- ers of woman suffrage who are again seeking his support for a national con- stitutional suffrage amendment. In a letter to the President she char- acterized the recent agitation of the suf- fragists as a “dismal failure,” and de- clares that she represents the opinions of 20,000,000 mature women who do not on Democrats” another. Their failure in national convention to get the sup- port of suffrage states was a third proof of their political poverty. And the well-known indifference of most women who have the ballot to use it-at all, much less at the dictation of suffrage leaders, is a final demonstra- tion that the National American Woman Suffrage Association is not a political power, but & Mere state of mind with a small, nervous but noisy fraction of women who are discontented with the democracy that has made the United States greatest among the nations of the earth.”’ Mrs. Dodge declared that there are less than 200,000 suffragists in the United States, or less than 1 per cent of the 24,555,754 mature women in America. President Wilson has reiterated his be- lief that suffrage is a state and not a naticnal question. WHAT SHALL I BUY for HER Christmas gittt A diamond, of course, at Loftis Bros., floor. 806 N. 6th.

M{ITILE CAFE” I BRIGHTLY TUNEFUL MUSICAL COMEDY John E. Young and Harry Depp Cordially Greeted on St. Louis First-Night. By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS, OHN BE. YOUNG, who became a St Louisan by adoption at the Del- mar Garden Theater “in the good old summer time” of past years, and Harry Depp, a “native son” of this same city, were the cordially spotlight- ed figures of Sunday night’s opening performance at the Olympic of “The Little Cafe,”’ a musical comedy which receives an attractive Klaw & Erlanger production and seems vastly te please its audiences. “Johnny” Young, indeed, has what may be called the star role of the developed by the pilot’s unfolding. Both received the friendliest of welcomes, to which they responded by doing their best in the line of humorous entertain- ment and scoring distinct successes. The tuneful play itself, which I saw during its long run at the New Amster- dam Theater in New York City last year, is adapted from a French farce of Tristan Bernard’s writing, its En- glish book and lyrics being by C. M. 8. McLellan and its music by Ivan Caryll, and it presents Albert Loriflan in many laughable adventures and misadven- tures before reaching its happy termi- nation. This is because Albert, immediately prior to his learning that he is a mil- lionaire, has been tricked into signing a contract to remain for 2 years as 4 waiter at the Little Cafe or forfeit the sum of 800,000 francs elsewise, and also because, realizing how he has been fooled, he turna the tables on old Phill- bert, proprietor of the Little Cafe, by becoming the most worthless of waiters in the daytime and the gayest of Pa- risian spendthrifts at night, the final ‘isuecess of his wooing of Yvonne, old Philibert’s pretty daughter, alone sav- ing the Little Cafe from utter disaster. In the meantime, however, the joy- ous millionaire-waiter has got himself perilously entangled with Gaby Gau- frette, “queen of the night restau- rants,” and with Katziolinka, a hot- tempered Hungarian singer, and there’s the very mischief to pay for a while. Nevertheless, after the fashion of such stories, things turn out all right in the finish, with Albert singing “They Found Me” as contentedly as one could wish. The role of Albert Loriflan, while it denies “Johnny” Young the opportunity for the genial “clowning,” especially in German dialect; that was wont to de- light his Delmar Garden audiences, gives him many “straight comedy’’ mo- ments of effective appeal, and these he improves to the utmost. His playing of the part is marked by a certain boyish effervescence of high spirits that makes his work unusually attractive, and he is especially successful in the songs of Albert’s singing; such as “You Little Cafe, Good-day,” “Serve the Caviar,”’ and other ditties, all of which are made to score with big emphasis. -.-er Depp does a good bit of low- comedy character work as Adolphe, the ever helpful chum of Albert Loriflan, winning a prominent place in the house’s favor. Others of creditable note in the cast are Maurice Cass as Philibert, Tom Graves as Bigredon, the scheming pro- moter who sets the trap for Albert: Alma Francis as Yvonne, Marjorie Gateson as Katziolinka, Edna Munsey as Gaby Gaufrette, Gabrielle Grey as Loulou Millefleura, her friend; Nedra Depp as Celeste, cashier of the Little Cafe; Colin Campbell as Prince Max of Galmania; F.. Stanton Heck as Col Klitnk, his formidable aid-de-camp, and Fred Graham as the Prince’s major- domo, There are many big song-numbers and much clever dancing durtng the cours: of the evening. The play’s three scenic settings, showing the interior of the Little Cafe, the Restaurant Grand Gala in Paris, and the garden of the Cha- teau Sans Souci at Marly, are well pre- sented, the two latter being picturesque out of the ordinary. a. as One Minute Toothache Stick Stops toothache quick.

M. Arnold, incumbent, who holds office under appointment by Gov. Brewer, or P. J. Johnson, who was elected by thei; voters, are questions absorbing the at- tention of the voters of this section. Judge Arnold is said to have declared he would hold the January term of court here, but it is rumored that steps will be taken to preclude his taking the oath of office. Johnson takes the view that the people have spoken and that their will is the final arbiter of such mat- ters. In the meantime, it is said that the ' State Supreme Court has been asked to hand down an opinion on the question as to whether the Governor's appoint- ment, antedating the election, will be given preference over the voters’ will. Some hold that the constitutionality of the law providing for the election of Circuit Judges is in question.

THE FOUR - BERNE TROUPE Ludwig Pleier "Cellist Gives a Painstaking Performance of “Hungarian Fantasy.” Conductor Max Zach, at yesterday aft- ernoon’s popular concert of the Sym- phony “Orchestra at the Odeon, intro- duced as a soloist his new leader of the violoncello section, Ludwig Pleier, in a “Hungarian Fantasy’’ by Popper. With an air of sangfroid, the ’cellist performed swift feats of fingering, bow- ing and double-stopping such as are usually confined to the more nimble vio- lin. His tone, in the lyric parts of the fantasy, was mostly broad and expres- sive, but suffered occasional lapses into huskiness. His playing was painstaking and punctilious rather than brilliant. The orchestra, in spirited fettle, pros- pered jn such ambitious undertakings as the overture to “Merry Wives of Wind- sor,” by Nicolai and the prelude to Act V of Reinecke’s “King Manfred,” the latter a “first-time” performance. The bizarre and, at times, shivery harmonies of “Madame Butterlty” and Chopin's stately “Polonaise in A” afforded scope for a display of the orchestra's versa- tility. Charminade’s “The FP atterer’ and “Scarf Dance” were charmingly per- formed. Zach's interpretation of the Strauss “Blue Danube Waltz” added fresh allurements to that familiar com- position. Despite unfavorable weather, the usual big audience was present.

Abe Fishman, proprietor of a con- fectionery at 1211 North Jefferson av- enue, next door to the Dayton Street Police Station, was fined $10 and costs by Judge Sanders in the Dayton Street Court today for operating a gambling device.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 7.—The discovery has been made in an examination of the books of the Treasury Department that while Gen. Carranza was in charge of the Government here $75,000 in gold was taken from the Treasury which the rec- ords show was used for ‘‘extraordinary diplomatic expenses.”’ The money is said by employes of the Treasury Department to have been sent, by Carranza’s order, to Rafael Zubaran, his diplomatic representative in Wash- ington. A story has been in circulation in the capital that this money was paid to two United States Senators for their influ- ence toward bringing about the evacua- tion of Vera Cruz that Carranza might have a place to flee to from Mexico cat.

This will mark the third day of festivity in con- nection with the wedding, the final feast coming tomorrow evening. Following their marriage in the Church of St. Anthony the Hermit, 615 South Broadway, Mr. and Mrs. Beshara joined for a time in het efstivities at the bride’s house and then took apart- ments at the American Hotel. Accord- fing to the strict Syrian custom, there should be no callsuwexchanged between the bride and members of her. family for one week, but the celebration should be continued in the bride’s new home. Owing to Beshara having residence in another city, the rule has been waived and all the ceremonies held in the bride’s home. Throughout the Syrian colony great preparation is being made for. the Bride’s Dance, as this calls for consid- erable intellectual work on the part of the guests. The bride is taken by the arms by six or eight girl friends and led slowly throughout the house 10 times, stopping slightly before each guest. Weird Singing as Wedding March. The guests meanwhile keep up a con- tinuous monotone that develops into a wierd air and is without musical ac- companiment. To this wedding march the guests are expected to provide original poetry expressing their gdod wishes for the bride, so htat scores of different words are being chanted to the same air at the same time, while incense burns. Then the Syrian harps strike up na- tive airs and dancing becomes general, if wished, and the feasting reaches its highest. Adamie is something of a Mayor of the Syrian colony. He is a presperous merchant and, wher he bid his friends feast, found himself called upon during pre the seven unmarried children were busy helping clear the house from the ruins of the festive scenes of Saturday and yesterday and prepare for tonight. Masses of flowers in all the upper rooms had to be renewed and several! women were at work upon the hundreds of brightly colored, gold and silver- mounted wine glasses, which had played a prominent part in the entertainments. Wedding presents of silks, rugs, mag- nificent hand work, silver and jewels came to the bride from friends and rel- atives in Syria, France and five of the states. These were all removed sight, after the ceremony, fo custom, until they are placed in. couple’s new home.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. During the agitation about the parkway is it not well to take a practical view of the situ. tion? ° i am heartily in favor of public and civic ini- provement, but when the water of business ac- “wvity is low is it not unwise to drain the stream? the people of St. Louis have proven that when they are treated fairly, when something is of- fered for the good of the many and are not ex- ploited for the benefit of a self-chosen few, they are willing to entrust their leaders with the hecessary power; the adoption of the new charter and the free bridge bonds prove this. ' The cost of the parkway is estimated at $10,- 000,000—a tremendous sum of money when we are just emerging from a severe depression of finance and business. Many men and women, able and willing to work to earn an honest living are unable to find employment. People with in- e vestments in real estate, bonds and stocks find their assets shrunken in value and the income therefrom cut off or reduced. It seems to me the business men connected with “our civic and trade organizations woul better *employ their time and effort to the upbuilding ‘and strengthening of the manufacturing inter- ests of our city, and to adopt some feasible, tan- gible plan to induce new manufacturing enter- “prises to locate here. We must offer some ‘inan- cial inducement; true, the city government car- not legally do this, but the citizens can. Every “real estate owner in St. Louis would find it the “best Investment he ever made to contribute «he ‘Income of one month to a fund to encourage new _ factories to locate here.

All that is lacking is a definite plan to get together. The above-named organizations can work this out ‘then everybody will be ready and willing to boost and the result will surprise us all. I would much prefer to see 10 new huge smokestacks for "10 new factories being built than to see blocks and blocks of houses being demolished for a park- “way, wouldn't you? | “YOURS FOR A PARKWAY (Some Other Time), | Dead Hunters. - To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

Many of these per- sens hunted merely for sport, not needing us for ‘food, and though we never harmed one of them. It is true that we have no conscience; some hunt- ers are also without it. DEER, BIRD & CO. ‘*Tardy’’ Taxpayers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with interest your article In yesterday’s Post-Dispatch, “Tardy Thousands Will Have to ‘Pay Tax Penalty.” Tardy? When is a taxpayer “tardy?” Not until after Dec. 31. Those who try ‘to pay and cannot (on account of inadequate of- ‘fice facilities) will have to pay a penalty, the ‘Collector says. I would like to see some good ‘lewyer express an opinion on the subject for the ‘people. Seemingly the Collector forgets that he : the servant of the people and assumes the role of bossing the people, and with threats of penalty is trying to bluff the taxpayers into rushing to his office with the money. Does he forget that most banks and all trust companies pay interest on our monthly balances? Perhaps it would be better not to crowd the already overburdened taxpayer too much, as very little réal estate in this city is a paying proposition. TAXPAYER. : L To Help Pay for Parkway. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - When assessing benefits for the alleged park- way why not tax automobiles to help for it? It “fs well known, but unpopular to say that all but -gutomobilists will use the driveway at their peril. _ he tax should be, say, motor cars $200, Fords $100, motor cycles $25, less rebate for risk to $24.50, 50. cents net.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, MONDAY DEMOCRATIC INTENSIVE ECONOMY. Features of the Sixty-third Congress’ short sés- sion opening today will be legislation for labor and for rural credits and the greatest possible economy in framing appropriation bills. In his economy program. the President has a svecial claim on the support of those G. O. P. critics who violently assailed the war revenue measure as meeting a shrinkage in imports and tariff receipts that would be better met by cut- ting expenditures. The war came a month after the close of the old fiscal year. The budget for the new year had already been passed and gone into operation. To change then unexpectedly the scale of Government expenditures might have complicated bookkeeping, caused endless uncer- tainty and confusion and perhaps exerted unde- sirable effects on employment conditions. The ‘emedy might have been worse than the malady. There was uncertainty enough in the early weeks of the war without governmental action that might aggravate it. But the budget for the year beginning on June 20 next can be made up with 4 full knowledge of the abnormal commercial status at home and abroad. Expenditures can be adjusted to the standard of prospective revenue. Our Congress ils accustomed to a lavishness and even extrava- gance unknown to other governments. Tens of millions can be cut out of the budget without any impairment of efficiency. Pork barrel items should have no show of perpetuation in river and harbor, public buildings, army and navy and other appropriation bills. A concentrated, earnest, soulful effort for inten- sive economy all along the line will be splendid winter exercise for the Democracy. It will be the renaissance of the ancient policies and prac- tices of the party. Real, old-fashioned Democratic economy restored under the compulsion of war might have the vitality to persist after the coming of peace. > GENERAL IMPEDER. A slight error in the spelling of the name of the German commander on the Russian border was made early in the campaign, and has since been perpetuated, though probably it is manifest to everybody now. He is, of course, Gen. von Hinderburg. : The General is certainly one of the grandest little impeders the war has developed to date. : —~ 0 2 COSTS $50,000,000 AND WORTH IT. Judge Prouty, directing the work of valuing American railroads, says the job will cost the roads $35,000,000 for preparing maps and other data and will cost the Government $15,000,000. Whether the railroads are to be nationalized or merely regulated, the Government must know how much they are worth, in order to do essential justice alike to shippers, travelers and security holders. | When a Government undertakes to exercise su- preme authority in the management of private properties worth $15,000,000,000 to $18,000,000,000 and to assure the owners a fair return on their actual investment, it manifestly must know its ground. Owners of the railroads and advocates of Gov- ernment ownership differ several billion dollars in their estimates of the value of the properties. If the owners’ estimate is correct, their $35,000,000 investment in valuation should ultimately prove to be one of their best investments. = = — a ae THE SOLDIER’S OPINION. Kitchener says it will take the allies three years to win the war. That is the judgment of the professional soldier, given a task and estimating its dimensions. The war will end when the responsible civil rulers of the countries engaged in it determine upon its conclusion, if it is not ended sooner by the people of the warring countries. Back of the civil rulers and back of the pro- fessional soldiers are the peoples, who are pay- ing the toll of blood and treasure, and there is a limit to their blind devotion and their endurance. To speak of either side winning is to utter a ghastly absurdity. However the treaty of peace may be written, no gain of territory nor award of cash indemnity can compensate any of the belligerent countries for what the war will have cost it. = = — — = THE HANDBOOK PARASITES. As the immunity they have enjoyed through neglect has lengthened, the handbook makers have become bolder. The indictments returned against 15 of them ought to make it plain enough that St. Louis still has a lid on gambling. It is significant that the evidence on which the indict- ments were found was obtained, not by the police, but by private investigators working under the direction of the Circuit Attorney. Bookmaking is a parasite business. It preys on the inexperienced, the credulous, the obsessed. It should no more be tolerated than any other form of gambling. The raids should continue un- tii it is thoroughly broken up. = = * — ae We presume Mr. Bryan, formerly the peerless, will now prefer to be designated as the beerless orator. 4 44 & i id MR. GARDNER’S SUSPICIOUS CRUSADE. That Congressman Gardner’s crusade does not take the form of a plan to enable the country to get value received for its huge appropriations for army and navy purposes is to be regretted. The people would listen to that sort of a proposal. But he coolly asserts that our present large outlay might advantageously be increased by a preposter- ous $200,000,000. The manner and method of his attack subject him to the suspicion of having fallen under the old familiar influence of jingo- ism or war material manufacturers. If we have got as little for our money as he says we have got, reason is given for a temporary decrease in appropriations, instead of increase. It is time to call a halt until we find out what is the matter with our professional soldiers and sailors. We can go ahead after that on a new system with the appalling waste cut out, if there is waste, and the essence of Mr. Gardner's charge is that there must be waste._ The antecedents of’ Mr. Gardner's resoldtion of inquiry offer, small incentive to Congress, which resumed work Mongay, to pass it.

Eighty-two years ago—Nov. 27, 1832—the first street car was put in service in New York. It had three compartments, entered by side doors, each seating 10 persons, and top-deck seats for 30 more. Two horses drew it on wooden rails. The line ran from Princess street on the Bowery and Fourth avenue to Harlem. Fares ranged from 6 1-4 sion. to 25 cents, «ccording to distance traveled. Until 1852 it wag the only street car line in the world. Visitors from other cities took one ride on it, and went home reporting it was preferable to keep on walking Today this country has a thousand street rail- way systems, with 45,000 miles of steel track, 91,- 000 cars, 300,000 officials and employes, $3,000,000,- 000 of stocks and bonds, 105,000 damage suits and 67,000,000 critics. Statistics on this point in the latest Govern- ment report are insufficient to warrant an at- tempt at an exact statement, but it is conserva- tively estimated that enough water has been pumped into American street railway securities to fill a canal 20 feet wide and six feet deep, reaching from the Alleghanies to the Mis- #issippi. It is a little known but interesting fact that the average American’s left foot is slightly larger than the right, and his right arm a little longer than the left, owing to the American habit of resting chiefly on the left foot while holding onto a car strap with the right hand. The marvelous growth of American street rail- ways is one of the principal sources of American national pride. Our street railways have larger cars, make louder noises and pack more standing passengers onte a given area of floor space than any others in the world. Indeed, they are the obly street railway systems with enterprise enough 1896: 1900: 1904: 1908: 1912: 1916: hibition. WILL IT WORK to carry standing passengers. = = — = = WHAT NEXT IN BRYANISM?

It is suggested that President Wilson may sit with the Senate in certain exec- utive sessions, when the Senate is con- sidering appointments or treaties. That was what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when they propesed that the President make treaties and appointments ‘“‘by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” The Senate was'to be a sort of council for the Executive. So when Washington was President he naturally undertook to obtain its advice and censent in per- son. * One of the most interesting accounts of early congressional’ procedure is found in the “journal” of Senator Wil- liam Maclay of Pennsylvania, an erig- inal Senator from that State. He tells how Washington came to the Senate with Knox, his Secretary of War, to on. tain its advice and consent on an In- dian treaty. The treaty was read and explained, and an embarrassing silence followed Washington evidently expected that the treaty weuld thereupon be ratified, and the presiding officer, Vice-President Ad- ams, was just about to put the ques- tion. when Maclay objected. The mat- ter, he said, was one that deserved fur- ington arose, wrathfully muttering that THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. that would defeat the very object of his coming to the Senate. But the other Senators were with Maclay. As he Says, they didn't enjoy the idea of having their eonsent forcibly taken from them under the overawing presence of Wash- ington. They preferred to discuss the matter when the great man was not present. So there was nothing for Wash- ington and Knox to do but withdraw. Perhaps the Senators of the present day will feel freer. But it may be guessed that many of them won't feel altogether enthusiastic over the prospect of dis- cussing presidential policies in the presence of the man who is in charge of the disposition of the patronage.

Keswick like a yellow ribbon that connected him with the dusty horizon. On each side of the road the land was brown and barren. Not a tree or shrub was in sight, and the heai waves danced riotously as the sun’s rays were reflected from the glittering sand. Keswick plodded wearily onward. He knew that the nearest township was 2) miles away, and that Warragul Plain, the lonely stretch of sand that he was then crossing, was part of the Luabula sheep run, where the great flocks of T*® dusty trail stretched out before McConaghy, “The Wool King,” searched. fndustriously for scorched grass blades tn the blazing drouth time. Far away to the east flowed the Murray, and be- yond were the faint outlines of the blue hills of Cahambarra. Presently Keswick came to a slight dip in the level surface of the plain, and stopped for a moment to view the scene. The basin was about half a mile qn extent, and scattered over it were the fallen trunks of some five-score gum trees, all lying with their bare white branches turned toward the north. One glance explained their peculiar appear- ance. A cyclone, sweeping up from the South, had torn the trees from the sandy soll and stretched them in rows, like soldiers ‘that had been mowed down by the murderous fire of a hidden foe. He Sits on the “King.” FTER a quick survey Keswick moved forward, but stopped sud- denly and stared at the fallen timber. From beside the largest tree a weird apparition rose and faced him. Tt was the figure of a man, bent and grizzled, his face and arms burned to @ deep brown color by the tropical sun. A long beard extended to his waist, and his matted hair formed a halo around the haggard face. It was a strange, ghostly-looking specter and for @ mo- ment Keswick stood undecided. Then curiosity impelled him to move in the direction of the bearded one. The old man did not move. He stood with his hands clasped, his lips moving rapidly, and the thick mop of hair waving backward and forward as he nodded his head to keep time to his mutterings. ’ As Keswick’s greeting was unan- inquiringly to within a few yards of the stranger. Mentally he booked the ancient as a “hatter,” one of the wandering hermits of the Bush, and, knowing their aver- sien to all travelers, he repeated the & ‘yting and then proceeded to seat hinself on the trunk of fhe tree near which the old man stood. The action immediately aroused the ancient from his stupor. “Not there!” he cried, dashing be- tween Keswick and the fallen tree. “Not there! Sit on any of the others, but not—not—not’—— His words died away in further unintelligible protest. Keswick stared in surprise, and hu- moring the man remained standing. _ “Why?” he asked. The King of the Trees. HE sunken eyes of the bearded T specter glittered brightly as he vainly endeavored to cuntrol his tongue, but, fearful lest Keswick should sit upon the tree in spite of his pro- testations, he clutched him by the arm and pushed him roughly back ypon the trunk of another close by. For a mo- ment the two sat staring at each other and then the old man regained his speech, and pointing to the giant tree whispered hoarsely: “That is the king —the dead king—it is not right to sit upon him.” Keswick whistled softly. Men who made friends of trees were not alto- gether unfamiliar to him. He had known of shepherds buried in the solitude who told their daily troubles to the white gum trees that surrounded their lonely huts, but the kingship idea was novel. “What was he king of?’ he asked. The bearded one moved closer along the smooth trunk. ‘King of the trees,”’ he said, softly. Keswick remained silent. Out on the gray plain a kangaroo sat motionless. A rabbit peered from a neighboring burrow, and a peculiar stillness hung ever the scorched plain. It appeared to be the home éf mystery, with the gun-tanned ancient representing the spirit of Drouth and Decay. ‘An uneasy feeling took possession ef Keswick, and he made a motion to rise, but the other laid a restraining hand upon his arm. “You must stay!” he cried. “I must tell you! Don’t go away! Perhaps | shall not see another man for months, for years, perhaps never. Sit down. You must hear it!” “Years ago he was the king of all these trees. He was the great green gum that ruled over all. Ah! he was 4a great tree! In the hot summer days the sheep crept into the shadow thrown ~beneath the king, and listened to him, talking to his people. Then Came the Rebel. ié HERE was none like him. His 2 head was lifted high above the ‘others: his trunk was twice their girth. His branches caught the first beams that, came from the east, and waved a good-by to the sun when he dipped in the west.” “Then came the rebel,”’ shrieked the tlack nights I heard them planning and whispering, and it was always the Same. The rebel was urging them to rise against his King, my King, King of Warragul Plain!’’ The narrator’s excitement increased. The sunken eyes blazed with the fierce light of a madness born of solitude. “And one night they rose against tim,’”’ he cried. ‘All that day the air was thick and heavy, and the trees whispered much amongst’ themselves. The rebel talked always. He was a devil, a fiend, a murderer! And the King seemed ignorant of it all. His great head waved high above all the prattling, as if he heard nothing, or, if he did hear, was not afraid. ‘*‘When I penned the sheep I returned to the little cave there in the hillside and watched. I knew the mutiny would break out—I knew! The rebel had won them over to his side, not all, but some. There was a moment’s stillness after ihe sun slipped to rest, and then the battle began. My God, what a sight! The followers of the rebel attacked those who stood loyal to the King. They fought and struggled with each ether. Their limbs snapped like match- wood, and a noise like thunder went out over the plain. It was terrible—terrible! The Rebel and King Fight. dé KNELT and prayed for the safety of the King, but I was lifted up by the fierce wind caused by the battle, whirled down the hill and half buried in the sand. And I knew as I was carried along that the King was losing. My King. “When I struggled out of the sand it was nearly over. Of all the trees that filled the basin only the King and the rebel were left standing. All the others were thrown down as you see them. But the King and the rebel fought on— fought like demons. They swayed back- wards and forwards as they struggled, but at last the King gripped him and thrust him back. I thought the King was safe and I prayed and cried with joy, but no! As the rebel fell he wound his branches around the great King, and they came thundering down together. “Tt was all over then. They lay side by side, the murderer and his victim. Now you know—you know all! Here in the hot days I pray for him I loved, the King of Warragul Flain.”’ The unfortunate hermit dropped on his knees beside the dead tree and be- ran ving in hoarse whispers, while Kesw watched him like one en- tranced. But the silence of the gray plain stirred him to action. Unobserved he grasped his pack and walked hur- viedly towards the west. When he reached the rim of the basin he looked back. The mad shepnerd, with uplifted hands, was still praying beside his King. (Copyright: The Spy and the Spied. OUIS XVIII.must have been sin- cerely grateful for the institution of spies.

Drusilla looked about her and saw the paper doll’s house elose to her chair, where she sat at her table spread before her for tea. Bobby Jones had not been out of his box all day, and so did not know what had been going on, but when it had been quiet a long time he slowly lifted the cover and looked out.

Drusilla, as I have told you, sat at her table, and the paper doll’s house was very near her. All the little soldiers were on the floor on their backs. The big dollhouse was turned around so that all the rooms were exposed and the little doll that lived there was sitting at the piano with her head on the keyboard. Bobby Jones looked at Drusilla the second time before he addressed her, and he was wondering if the paper doll was in her house, but he did not ask Drusilla. Instead, he said: ‘What has hap- pened to the ployroom, Drusilla, and what is the matter with Teddy Bear?’ “Oh! my little mother has been in here all day and she has been playing house and war and nurse, and’’—— “Did you play society?’’ asked Bobby. ‘‘We started to, but my little mother thought about the picture she saw of a nurse taking care of a sick soldier and she forgot all about the tea I was to and here I sat and waited and waited, and when she finished plavinzg nurse it was time for her to go to her supper,”” answered Drusilla with a sigh. | T had rained all day and Drusilla’s —_ = a . fii, oe -~ ad O-- OF. 10k 2” LO by wm ay hye Pstenay = a s* | od *. “ , 4 ie ae ws wi Spd : = ’ ~~ s = pa or Ree ~_ o Cali Pe he. ~ . on

In the Daily Maroon, a student publii- cation at Chicago University, tags calls all-America and “all’’ teams of any description “BUNK STUFF’ abso- lutely unreliable. To support his theory that the average “‘all’’ eleven is rot, he writes: “All coaches who have had much ex- perience know that it is only by close watching of their own candidates through days of practice that they can fully de- termine who are best qualified to fil) the different positions, and to concede that it is possible for any newspaper man, who is busy creating his story, to be abie to do justice in the selection of an All-Conference or All-Western team, for example, after seeing some of the teams in action throughout the season, is most preposterous.”’ a m Here’s the Answer. 7° a certain extent Stagg is right, as has been suggested in this col- umn previously. But his argument above printed is futile. For while it is difficult to select as between two or three equally meritorious men for one position on one team, it may happen that on some other eleven there will be a player, who will stand out above ALL tion. In fact, it wi nary method of seleeting the players for an “all” team. Most of the writers who attempt ‘all’ selections bolster up their personal opinions by obtaining the composite views of a bunch of competent coaches or experts who have seen in action the respective elevens under consideration. Where there is doubt as to an obvious deserving candidate, a composite or ma- jority vote on the position is taken and the player receiving the greatest num- ber of votes for the place is chosen. Thus, in the naming of the “al]’’- Missouri Valley eleven for the present season, a composite was formed, of the opinions of the all the valley coaches was taken. A surprising unanimity was shown. Naming an All-American eleven is of course a task of too great magnitude to be more than approximate. But the selection of lesser ‘‘all” teams is by no means the “‘bunk”’ Mr. Stagg would lead one to believe. . * Handicapping Ambition. T HE difficulty of climbing on the pugilistic map was never better shown than inthe case of Sam Holpz- man, alias Frankie Callahan, in his fight with Charley White at the Coli- seum, Friday night. To get White into the ring Callahan had to give up every- thing but his life and the right to try and hit his opponent. CaHahan guaranteed his oppo- nent $1200 to get into the ring. He let him come in at practical. ly catch weights, for White re- fused to post a forfeit. He conceded him five or six pounds—and he an almost un- known against a near-champion. He let his opponent come into the ring with umusual bandages on his hands, although White had wagered he would win by a knockout. He figured to get as low as $75 for his end, although paying White $1200. It is the way of the world. Those higher up and able to make conces- sions, instead of giving them, exact them of their weaker foes. * = Can You Guess Why? OPE also has it, on reliable infor- mation, that neither C. B.

MISSOURI VALLEY TEAMS WILL PLAY ON THANKSGIVING COLN, Neb., LIN Dec. 7.—The first step has been taken by the faculty dele- gates of the Missouri Valley Conference tow the restoration of Thanksgiving day football, which has been barred for the past four years by ukase of the chancellors and regents comprising the conference governing boards.

ITHACA, N. > ean Dec. 7.—Daniel Fred- erick Potter Jr., a junior of Buffalo, was yesterday elected captain of the Cornell varsity cross-country team for 1915.

The C, B. C. team was weary and worn as a result of its sad experi in Rolla skir- mish Saturday and lacke tlie the soore.in the final p though within striking distance twice. Once when the Brothers threatened to score Lindsay sent in six fresh substi- tutes and stopped the march. The game netted an even $1000, thanks to the generosity of Dalton J. Kinsella, who contributed $175, defray all ex- pénses. The crowd totaled 1 yester- day, but almost as many more tickets were sold and never used. The game originally was promoted Donlin, who, with the aid of ine Lindsay, ‘‘put it over.’’ Of course, the players, who worked in the mud, de- serve the most credit. Zachritz Still a Star. The game itself served to bring out one fact, to-wit: Artie Zachritsz, former St. Louis U. star, still is some pump- kins as a halfback. It was Zach who got the call whenever the All-Stars needed yardage and, although Harry Ratican scored both touchdowns, the bulk of the gains were made by Zach- rite. He tossed the forward pass to Ratican, netting the first score, and Harry easily outdistanced his pursuers in a 40-yard sprint. Scholastic football letter men will as- semble this week to elect Captains for the 1915 teams. At Soldan, Tom Walsh, the _ star tackle, who undoubtedly was the best lineman in the “prep’’ set this year seems to have the edge in the race for the captaincy. Conzilman and Wood should have the honor at Central in the vote for the honor position. Cox, the little Yeatman quarterback is foremost in the running at Yeatman. The choice at Manual, Smith and McKinley are most uncertain. E. Klein Boosts His Brother. Eddie Klein, former star quarterback at Missouri University and this past season assistant to Schulte and Brew- er, is out with the statement that if brother Archie is beaten out of the po- stiion of quarterback on the 1815 Tiger team, the man who defeats him will be about the best general seen on a Missouri campus for a long time. He says that Archie, who will always be remembered by Soldan High School students as the most famous gridder that played for the West End School, made a great hit with the Tiger coaches the past season. He easily made the freshman team and also won the punt- ing contest this season. All that still remains of the 1914 foot- ball season, locally is the presenting of the Busch trophies which were awarded last week to four performers. Banquets are planned by St. oes ; and C. B.

All-Stars Will Form “Pro” Team for 1915 Season Henry IAndsay, the leader of the all- star football aggregation, which made such a splendid showing against the battle-worn Christian Brothers’ College eleven, yesterday, has stated local football followers would see the old grads together as a team again. Next season, Lindsay will round up the men and form an independent professional team. Games will be scheduled with the best independent elevens in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and throughout the Mid- dle West. A number of really good professional teams have thrived in Illinois the past fall. According to Lindsay, on Thanks- giving day he witnessed 2% players di- vide spoils aggregating over $400, as a result of a ‘“‘pro’’ contest. As the men who played yesterday are all out of school, the taint of professionalism will have no effect on them. That an excellent team could be formed was easily proven yesterday. With but little more than a week's practice, the team got its plays off well and performed like ai veteran squad. Several other stars will join the ranks of the independents.

James’ margin of victories was 26—7. James completed 30 full games and officiated in 46, all told. Doak’s record, analyzed, measures up to the highest standard. In 26 in- nings he issued 87 bases on balls, while James doled out 118 in 332 innings. Doak fanned 118 men, faced 1016 batters and Ballee ranked sec p to the Pittsburg Feds. Alexander’s Great Record. There are other pitching perform- ances revealed in the official averages, howver, which appear even more mert- torious than Doak’s or James’. The work of Grover Cleveland Alexander, who won 2# and lost 15 games for a second division club, stands out as al- most the premier performance of the season. Alexander won a bonus of $1000 for winning 2 games, then tacked on two victories for good measure. He officiated in 365 innings and proved himself the iron man of the circuit. Another star that twinkled tn the N. L. firmament last season was Big Jeff Pfeffer of the Superbas, who toiled for a loser and took third place among the pitchers with 23 victories and 12 de- feats. He alowed 1.97 earned runs per full game. The famed Chris Mathewson took a tumble this season and is ranked down among the also rans. We might epitomize the good and bad feats of the season as follows: Leon Ames of Cincinnati‘ offici- ated in the greatest number of games, 47. Alexander pitched the greatest number of complete games, 32. Alexander worked in the great- est number of innings, 356, and won the most games, 27. Leon Ames lost the biggest number of games, 23. Jeff Tesreau pitched more shut- outs than anybody else, 8. Willie Doak was second with 7 and Alexander third with 6. Alexander faced the greatest number of batsmen, 1458, and yielded the greatest number of hits, 327. Polly Perritt hit the most bats- men, 15 Mathewsen beamed only 3. Larry Cheney issued 140 walks and held this umenviable honor. Mathewson in 41 games ked only 23 batters. Alexander ied in strikeouts, 214. He made on wild pitch against 26 wild heaves for Larry Cheney. Cheney was the easiest man to seere on, yielding 136 of his class in this country. _ NN Jomo f pitchers to the umping from fielders, we learn the Cardinals finished second to the Pirates in club | fielding, having Lee Magee at the top| of the defensive first sackers, although | he played in fewer es than Koney University of Georgia.

In the business of bumming his way to first base, Miller James Huggins of the Cardinals easily topped the field for the second successive time. He coaxed 106 walks, and the only person who was close was Vic Saier of the Cubs, who gathered 94.

Mrs. Bertha Griesedieck Kurtzeborn JY 3651 Botanical avenue, a member of the wealthy Griesedieck family of brew- ers, filed suit for divorce today against August Kurtzeborn Jr., former proprie- tor of a downtown jewelry store. Au- gust is a brother of Arthur Kurtzeborn, whose wife obtained a divorce a month ago. Preparations for an early hearing of the suit in Judge Kinsey’s court were made, as Kurtzeborn’s appearance was entered by his lawyer, H. L. Dyer, and the wife’s lawyer, Joseph R. T. Davis, joined with Dyer in asking an early set- ting. Mrs. Bertha Kurtzeborn stated in her petition that she was married June 4, lsy6, and that she and her husband sep- arated last October, she and her two children continuing to occupy the Bo- tanical avenue home. She said Kurtze- born was a salesman, earning $225 a month. Her allegations ggainst him are that he was abusive in conversation, that he used profanity to her in the presence of others, and that he was absent from home at night, and sometimes stayed away two or three days at a time. She said she loaned him money from her personal income, which he did not repay, and paid many household bills, for which he did not reimburse her. She asks for the custody of the chil- dren, Edward, 17 years old, and Mar- jorie, 12. KANSANS BUY $10,000,000 WORTH OF AUTOMOBILES Money From Big Wheat Crop Being Spent, Bank State- ments Show. * TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 7.—Kansas farm- ers have spent upwards of $10,000,000 for new motor cars since the bumper crop was harvested in July, according to the license records in the office of the Secretary of State and estimates made to him from other sources are that fully an equal amount has been spent by farmers on home improve- ments, in the way of modern conven- jences, such as heating, plumbing and lighting plants, and more than half that @mount in permanent farm improve- ments, such as new machinery and buildings. While more than half of the big wheat crop has been sold, the bank statement does not show any big increase in de- posits and this is said to indicate here that the farmers are spending the mon- ey they have received for the wheat they have sold and are “banking” the rest of it in their wheat bins, waiting for the higher prices they expect to realize as a result of the war. Generally over the wheat belt farm- ers are waiting for their wheat to bring them $1 on the farm, and when the market reaches that point, or the farm- ers see no probability of it selling for ARM BROKEN, HE HUNTS ON Man, 74, Keeps After a Deer for a Week After Accident.

DAILY RECORD OF MARK PARIS EXCHANGE OPEN FOR CASH TRADING TODAY Foreign Stock Market Has Been Closed Since War Began; Home Trading Grows. NEW YORK, Dec. 7. Investment sentiment in the financies district today was further brightened by the opening of the Paris Bourse on a cash basis of transactions. Continued easy money rates and reports of some further improvement in the steel and iron industry helped local trading. There’ was a fairly good demand shown for the leading stocks in the limited market, and prices were firm to higher on some of the favorite issues. In the bond department the invest- ment inquiry again centered in -the Rock Island issues, which gained a fraction after showing considerable strength on Saturday. Brokers expect a further improvement in demands from now forward, and it is thought that @ plan of restricted trading will soon be formulated by the board of governors of the Stock Exchange and an open market established. The Wall street summary *gald: “Supreme Court meets at noon. ‘Washington says Interstate Com- merce Commission will confer today, and it is expected will take its first vote on the 5 per cent advance freight rate case. “Trading for cash only begun on Paris Bourse today. “Improved sentiment noted Pitts- burg steel circles. “New York railways annual meeting at noon today. “Important conferences at London, between American bankers and English financial interests, are expected to be held this week. “Local stock trading is expanding.” NEW YORK STOCKS.

Three and four ‘months’ loans in’St, Louis are being made at from 5 to 6% per cent. Renewals are uniformly made at 5 per cent for first-class borrowers—-others pay 5% per cent. Demand funds are somewhat more freely in evidence at present at 5 per cent on choice collateral. Bankers show a disposition to grade rates very carefully and as a result there is some variations in the quotations between the vari- cus institutions. Constderable buying of com- mercial paper was again reported today and the market had all of the traces of its nor- mal activities in that direction Collections were reported as fairly satisfac- factory. and reports rere additional South- ern sections indicated a better movement of cotton.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 7.—Lew Shank, widely known as the “potato Mayor,” who is now in- vaudeville, stopped here for a day or two between engagements. He says he hardly knew the city when he arrived, because in view of the promises that had been made, he had expected to find a city clean, morally and physically; munici- pally prosperous and an example for all of the cities of the universe. “When I got off of the train at the union station I hardly knew the city,”’ said Shanks. “The. streets were dirty and, from what I can hear, the moral tone of the city not only has not im- proved, but is much worse, ‘‘When I went away there was a lot of talk that the laws were going to be enforced, that the streets were to be kept clean, that economy was to be practiced, that flood protection work was to start immediately and that a lot of other things were going to be done. “Say, there hasn’t been any cyclone around here, has there, since I have been @way? I can’t understand, other- wise, how the administration could fail to keep all of those promises. Why, I am told that the saloons are violating the law; that resorts are running bold- lv; that winerooms are in operation, and that the city is practically bank- rupt. ‘‘T will say that this city has the best trained police force. taking the force as a whole, in the United States, and that it will come pretty close to carrying out the policies of a Mayor—except when he is about to go out of office.’’ Life-Termer Pardoned. JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 7.—Jack Bond of Lamar County, sentenced for life im- prisonment for murder, has been par- doned by’ Gov. Brewer, to whom friends of the convict have appealed. Bond had been an ideal prisoner. He is in ill health and has a wife and children to support. He was convicted with J. A. Hall, whom the Governor pardoned $400 for Needy Families.

Business was resumed on the St. Louis Stock Exchange today for the first time since July 30, when trading was sus- pended by the declaration of war in Europe. Prices quoted on the various investment issues were firm and in some instances recorded substantial advances. Trading was inaugurated under a min- imum price rule adopted by the board of governors last Thursday, which pro- vided that stocks or bonds should not be sold below a fixed level. Although the schedule of minimum prices was not officially announced, John H. Dieck- man, president of the Stock Exchange, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that it Was close to the level of values record- ed at private sales in the Fourth street brokerage houses in the last two weeks. This range of quotations is in most in- Stances the same or near the closing values of July 90.

Later bids were advanced to $102, with offers at A es Bank of Commerce closed On July 30 at $117.50 sales, but the divi- to 6 per _ from an 8 per cent annual basis. he stock sold recently at private sale at $98. Other bank stocks quoted were relatively firm, with Third National Bank offered at unchanged figures at $250 and bids at $240. United Railways 48 were wanted at $67.50, against previous sales at $68. The preferred stock was firm on bids at $30.25, compared with former sales at $31. The common.-stock was steady at $8.50 bid, and offers at $10. Kansas City Home Telephone stock was a strong feature of the session at ¢icv bid, compared with closing bids at $117. Brewery Association 6s had ¢09 bid and offers at $92, against previous sales near $100. The bond list reflected a fairly good investment demand in the market for the high-grade issues.

Shipments next week are estimated at 200,000 bushels. An Argentine cable reported the or generally favorable for harvest- "Bartlett: Frazier, Chicago, wired their local representative, A. C. Petri: ‘“The present cereal year is one-third gone and the shipments of wheat from the exporting countries have fallen much be- low the requirements of the importing countries. Early in November, Snow estimated the requirements of the importing countries this year, exclusive ‘of Germany and Austria-Hungary, whose commercial isolation removes them as factors in the calculation, at above 12,000,000 bushels per week. Broom- hall at about the same date put the weekly requirements with the same lim- itations at 10,540,000 bushels. The dif- ference between the two estimates cen- ters largely in the allowance for Italy's needs. Broomhall, with a crop 46,000,- 000 less than the year before, only an- ticipating total Hoe og 10,000,000 greater than the year before in this country, and Spain, where with a crop only 3,- 000,000 larger he forecasts requirements as 11,000,000 bushels less. “Taking the lower or Broomhall es- timate, however, it appears that sup- plies are already falling much below needs. During the first 17 weeks of the cereal year the total world’s shipments have been 149,880,000 bushels, against 4 requirement, excluding Germany and Austria, of 179,180,000 bushels, so that for the first third of the year supplies have fallen 29,300f000 bushels below the low Broomhall’s estimate of requirements by about 16,000,000 bushels. he striking feature is that during the period when gupplies should be piling up they are falling below requirements. Last_year between Aug. 1 and November, Euro- pean supplies, stocks and _ afloat, in- creased from 58,170,000 bushels to 90,400,- 000: this year they increased from 64,000, - 000 to $6,700 000 bushels, this increase be- ing largely due to the heavier ships ments from America during July.
