A Central News. dispatch from Am- sterdam says that, ‘accordffig to a mes- saze from Berlin, it is reported there that upward of 100,000 prisoners were taken by the Germans when they cap- turod Lodz, Russian Poland. the capture of Lodz is considered by military experts a remarkable achieve- ment. Less than a fortnight ago the army to which this victory has fallen Was. surrounded by Russians and cut its way out only at the last moment, losing great numbers of men and many guns. Yet it was able within a few days to reorganize, take the offensive and defeat the RusBjans defending Lodz. Germans Closely Pursuing Russians Beyond lLodz. BERLIN (by Wireless Dec. 8—The official statement by army headquarters today says: “In Northern Poland the German troops are closely pursuing the retreat- ing enemy to the east and to the south of Lodz. Besides the extraordinarily Jarge and sanguinary losses reported yesterday, the Russians have lost up to today about 1500 prisoners amd 16 can- non with ammunition: carts. “In Southern Poland nothing special has happened. “On the coast to London’), issued of Flanders the baa condition of the roads, made worse by the recent torrential rains, is causing great difficulty to the movement of our troops. “To the north of Arras we have made some slight progress. “The statement made by the French regarding an advance in the forest of Argonne is not in accordance with tho facts: ‘For a long time past no Frenct. attacks whatever have taken place there. On the contrary, we are con- tinually gaining ground slowly. “The day before yesterday a French position at Malincourt, east of Va- rennes, was caplured. The greater part of the garrison fell on this occasion. The remainder, two officers and 159 men, were taken as prisoners. “A Fronch attack on our positions to the north of Nancy was repulsed yes- terday. “No special reports are at hand from the East Prussian frontier.” DEFENSE OF LODZ, “LOSTITS: URGENCY” Russian Official geen eae De- scribes ‘‘Unbelievable’’ German Sacrifices in Poland Battle. PETROGRAD, Dec 8 —An _ official statement given out today by the gener- al staff of the Russian army indicated that the Russians weer considering the abandonment of Lodz. This statement Bays: “During the fighting in the second half of the month of November, Lodz acquired great military importance, but the German offensive on the Lodz-Lo- wicz line having failed, the question of the defense of Lodz lost its urgency. ‘The defense of this large city pre- sents many difficulties from the mili- tary point of view and gives to our front an abnormal contour which is em- barrassing to our communications with the rear. It may, therefore, be expect- ed that with the setting in of a lull on the left bank of the Vistula, the RKus- sian lines in the region of Lodge will be reformed.” The report then takes up the fighting on the left bank of the River Vistula for a period of two weeks in November and December, saying: “Toward the end of October, Russian troops, pursuing certain Austrian and German forces which were retreating in @ southwesterly direction, reached a line stretching from the River Warta to the River Nidzitsa. This Russian de- tachment was strongly supported on its right wing.

LEE WROTE FAMOUS COLORADO MINE PAMPHLET Son of St. Louis Minister, Now Aid of Rockefeller, Named as Author After He Releases Opera- tor From Pledge of Secrecy. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Colo., Dec. 8.—Ivy L. Lee then executive assistant to the president cf the Pennsylvania Railroad, and since eppointed a member of John_D. Rocke- fel'er’s personal staff, wrote the much discussed pamphlet on the Colorado mining strike. Tnis was stated by J. kK. Welborn, president of the Colorad» uel and Iron Co., in his testimony at today’s session of the investigation into ihe strike conducted by the Federal In- dustrial Relations Commission. The pamphlet has until now been anonymous, and its title was “Facts in Colorado's Struggle for Industrial Irce dom.” It was published by the com- pany, Welborn has previously testified at an expense of $13,000, and some 40,0CU copies were mailed to ministers, editors, legislators and educators. Statements Attacked. Statements in the pamphlet have been attacked, and Welborn in his testimony iast Saturday admitted, when questioned about some of the statements, that they “should be qualified,’’ while he said he Vas unable to vouch for the correctness of others. He assumed general respon- sibility for the pamphlet, but could not at that time give the name of the “'riter, who, he said, had come to Colo- rado to prepare the work, after having eonsulted with an LWastern director of the Company. Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the com- mission, questioned Welborn Saturday *bout the statements made in the pamphlet as to the pay of national offi- cers of the United Mine Workers. Wel- born said he would accept responsibility for as much of the published statement as had not since been denied. Welborn read a telegram from Lee, releasing the company from its pledge to keep Lee’s name secret. The tele- gram stated that Lee was employed Dy John D. Rockefeller Jr. to write the pamphlet. Repudiates Responsibility. The pamphlet said the company in- vestigated the character and qualifi- cations of the men hired for strike guards, but Welborn admitted that this investigation was left to the head of the agency through which the guards were employed. The statement in the pamphlet which alleged that the delegates to the Trin- idad convention that called the strike were selected and sent there by the officers of the union, Welborn declared he could not substantiate. “I repudiate the responsibility for the statement,’’ he said. Ivy I. Lee is the son of the Rev. Dr. James W. Lee of 5066 Washington boule- vard, presiding elder of the St. Louis district of the Methodist Church South. The news of his appointment as a mem- ber of John D. Rockefeller’s personal staff was received in St. Louis yester- day in an Associated Press dispatch. He succeeds Frederick Taylor Gates, who has for years directed the Rocke- feller philanthropies. According to Dr. Lee, he will have an active part in the management of the Rockefeller business ) effairs, as well as the philanthropies. SOLDIERS SING SISTER SUSIE’S SEWING SONG New -Marching Choru of the British Troops a Riv. 1 to Tipperary. YORK, Dec. 8.—The chorus of ‘Sister Susie,’’ a song which has be: come popular in London, in British re- eruiting camps and in Gen. French's army at the front, was brought to this city by Ernest Hewson of Liverpool, who arrived on the Lapland a ftw Guys ago. He declares that the sorg. which now rivals “Tipperary,” came into vogue about the time that the sewing of English women’s societies, and some American and Canadian syn- pathizers, began to reach the soldiers Hiere is the chorus: NEW “Sister Susie's sewing shirts for -ol- diers— Such skill at sewing shirts our shy young. sister Susie shows! Seme soldiers send epistles—sayv they'd rather sleep on thistles Than the saucy soft short shirts tor soldiers Sister Susie sews.’’ Besides its marching swing, the son,’ has an alliterative quality which make; it about as easy to render as ‘Peter Piper’ or the more modern Sea Shells.” As a test of soldierly s»briety, it is superior to the Missouri Houn’ Dawg song, of passing fame a couple of years ago. “DOROTHY ARNOLD” IN YOUNG WOMAN’S BIBLE Paper Pasted Over Name in Book of Girl Arrested in san Antonio. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 8&—The name ‘‘Dorothy Arnold,’’ written on the fly leaf of a Bible in possession of a young woman arrested here last night, caused the police today to investigate whether the Bible had any connection with Dorothy Arnold, the long-missing New York girl. A slip of paper had been pasted over the name. The young woman was taken into custody with a man giving the name of Fred J. Benson. They were held in connection with an -investigation of pawn tickets for alleged stolen goods. The two had been in Mexico for some time.

Edward J: Wade of 4461 Ashland ave- nue and William H. Beste of 2243 Ade- laide avenue, real estate agents, are charged jointly in an indictment _§re- turned by the grand jury today with forgery in the first degree. Wade and Beste and Edward R. Eddins of 4542 McMillan avenue, are charged in another indictment with embezzlement. Wade and Beste, it is alleged, on Aug. 19, 1914, forged a deed purporting to convey the west 15 feet of lot 12 and al] the north parts of lots 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, in block 8, of McCune & Van- deventer addition, 315 feet in city block 3431, on the south side of Penrose street, 165 feet and 2% feet both on the north side of Lee avenue, from Ernest C. Sachse of b149A North Market street to William Sutter. The forgery is alleged to have consisted in the erasure of the name of the original grantee, John H. Markey, and the insertion of the name lof Sutter, and the changing of the date from April 5, 1914, to April i9, 1914. The three are alleged in the other in- dictment to have embezzled a deed from Markey, Aug. 1912, All accused were arrested and each gave a bond of $800. The property in- volved is said to be worth $7500, Eddins told a reporter he did not know Markey -until, one night last summer, Wade brought him to Eddins’ home and asked Eddins to make out a deed for some property. He did so and charged 8%, but Markey gave him only $3. E@q- dins knew nothing about the property, he says. The next day Markey and Beste came to his office, and Markey, he says, told him Beste was his agent. Beste took acknowledginents of deeds. Wade says he knows nothing about the transaction except that Markey asked him to have someone fix up a deed and he had Eddins do it, Beste says it was a plain business transaction, with which Wade and Ka- dins had nothing to do. He and Markey and others were forming a building company and Markey wanted to get in on it. Markey, Bestg says, made a deal to a ‘“‘straw man” and the straw man in turn was to give him back a deed of trust on the same property. This was done. Later Carkey needed money and wanted to sell some property. Beste sold it for him. The commission was not paid. He sued Markey and at Mar. key’s request withdrew the suit. He says Markey is trying to escape a debt. $1,012,930 CLAIM ALLOWED ON CAMPBELL ESTATE Judge Holtcamp in the Probate Court today allowed a claim of $1,012,930.52 filed against the James Campbell estate by the Northwestern Mutual Life In- surance Co. The claim was not contested and it was presented in court by an attorney for the Mercantile Trust Co., executor of the Campbell estate. The note for the amount of the claim was originally made by the Emporium Realty Co., which built the Grand-Lead- er Building at Sixth street and Wash- ington avenue in 190. Later the bulld- ing was sold to Campbell and he as- sumed the obligation of the note which has now fallen due. The Mercantile Trust Co., as executor of the Campbell estate, gets 5 per cent of disbursements, and thus is entitled to more than $50,000 commissions on teeny” » transaction, dv, ie ae re at ‘s, ips fee nt ge r : ' CONFESSES DOUBLE LLINUIS: MURDER Says He Fired Shots and Impli- cates His Nephew in Killing Near Cairo. ROBBERY WAS MOTIVE Admits They Tookse$200 From Brothers; Companion’s Re- volver Failed, He Declares. Thomas Clapp, 20 years old, at police headquarters this afternoon confessed that he fired the shots which killed Da- vid Brown and his’ brother, Adam fsrown, in their home at Tamms, Il 1S miles north of Cairo, last Friday night. Clapp also implicated in the murder plot his nephew, Lester Moody, 16 years old, with whom he was srrested last night at the home of his half-sister, Mrs. Verney Grace, at 3035 Washington avenue. After much questioning by detectives Clapp, shortly before 2 p. m., complained that his heart felt weak and he seemed about to faint. When he was revived he told of the double murder and rob- bery. Moody had been questioned sep- urately and denied knowledge of thi: crime. Says He Fired Six Shots. In his confession Clapp said he and Moody were hard up and wanted money to come to St. Louis. They knew the Brown brothers had money, and went to their home Friday night armed with revolvers. Clapp said he went into the house and opened fire on the Browns, who had re- tired. He said he fived six shots. -~.4 he said, also attempted to fire, his revolver failed to work. was pallid and frequently complained of a pain in his heart. He is a tall, slender youth apparently in poor health. Clapp said he and his nephew had been boarding in Tamms. His mother and Moody’s sister lived near Tamms. He said he and Moody decided to com- mit the crime when they were told that Mrs. Clapp and Miss Moody weer out of funds and had had no Thanksgiving dinner. and robbery Stole Horses, He Says. The night of the crime, he said, he and Moody stole a team of horses from ben Tipsley’s stable and rode bareback to the Brown home. A few days before ne had bought a revolver from a ne- gro. After his revolver in a creek and he and Moody rowed across the Mississippi River in a boat which they stole. On arriving in St. Louis, he said, they bought $150 worth of clothing. Ac-ord- ing to his confession they took $200 from the pockets of the Brown brothers ang this was all they stole. Moody and Clapp were arrested at the request of Alexander County au- thorities. The young men were taken up on a telephone message from Lee B. Davia, Deputy Sheriff at Tamms. David Brown, 6 years old, and Adarn Frown, 55, were last seen by neighbors at their farmhouse Friday night. When they were not seen about the place Sat- urday and no smoke came from tne chimney, it was suspected that some- thing was wrong. Absence of signs ot life at their home caused an investiga- tion and when neighbors entered the house they found both brothers dead. Adam was lying near the door, partly clothed. He had been shot in the head. Apparently he had gone to the door to udmit someone who knocked. David was shot in the neck as he was getting out of bed. The bullet also grazed his arm, indicating he had thrown up his arm to shield himself. #1000 Kept in House. Deputy Sheriff Davis, talking to 4 Post-Dispatch reporter over the lonz- distance telephone this morning, said it was known to neighbors that the Browi brothers had recently received money in a business transaction and that they kept more than $1000 in the house. When the bodies were found the house had been ransacked and no money coulda be found. Davis said it was learned that on the night the murder is supposed to have heen committed two men stole a team from Ben Tinsley, a farmer, and drove to the Mississippi River, where they stole a skiff and rowed to the Missouri a shore. Several persons saw these men, he said, and gave descriptions of them. In- vestigation showed that Moody ani Clapp were away from their home, a mile from the Brown home, and their relatives did not know where they had gone, They said Mrs. Grace was the only person in St. Louis whom the young men knew. Deputy Sheriff Davis said he cashed a $10 check for Clapp last Thursday aft- ernoon, the day before the murder and that it was a matter of gossip in the neighborhood that Clapp, a few days earlier had displayed a revolver. Deny Kruowledge of Murder. Moody and Clapp at first denied know!- edge of the murder and said they left Tamms last Tuesday and that Deputy Sheriff Davis was mistaken when ne said he cashed a check for Clapp Thursday. Clapp said the check was cashed Tuesday afternoon. War Tax Stay Proposed.

Payne of 6109 McPherson avenue wants to make his neighbor, William Jackson of 6115 McPherson avenue, quit burning soft coal in his furnace and he has asked the city Law Department to tell him how to do it. Payne called on the Law Department as a last recourse after he had vainly tried to follow the smoke of several other municipal departments. For two months Payne has sought re- lef. He first complained to the Smoke Inspector, he says, and was referred to the Health Department, which said it couldn’t do anything for him and ad- vised him to lay his complaint before the Building Commissioner. Meanwhile soft coal smoke continued to come from the chimney of the Jackson home. Sent to Law Department. The Building Commissioner’s depart- ment thought it over and advised Payne to see the Law Department. Following this advice he has asked the Law De- partment whether he can legally file an injunction suit against Jackson. The city’s legal lights still have his query under advisement. At the Payne home today Mrs. Payne told a Post-Dispatch reporter the soft coal smoke from the Jackson chimney next door was a great annoyance to her. ‘We sleep with our windows open and the smoke just pours into our bedrooms,” said. “It has also soiled our wall paper and spoiled the looks of our fur- niture. On cleaning days we open the windows on the lower floor and the soot soils everything in the parlor and din- ing room as fast as we clean it. Our house was recently painted, but the paint already is beginning to look dingy because of this smoke. Mra. Jackson's Statement. Jackson is ill in a hospital. His moth- er, Mrs. Edward Jackson, said the Vaynes had never complained to her about the smoke and she did not know if annoyed them. She said she burned soft coal because it Was more eco- nomical.

BUSINESS PROGRAM LUMPLETE MESSAGE Ur PRESIDENT SAY Tells Congress Legislation Has Re- sulted in Clear Road to “Uncloud- ed Success” for Honest Men. CALLS MILITARY DEFENSES OF THE NATION ADEQUATE —_ Big Army Not Needed, but National Guard and Trained Citizens Should Be Encouraged; Wants Action on Marine, Conservation and Philippine Bills. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—President Wilson departed from the prepared text of his annual address to Congress today, which was devoted principally to answering those who contend the United States is unprepared for national defense, to give notice to the business world that the legislative program of his administration, as it affects regulation of business, was practically completed. He xaid it had resulted in a clear road for business to travel to ‘‘un- clouded suecess.’’ Honest business men, the President declared, need have noth- ing to fear in treading the way outlined in the trust and currency bills. While the President dwelt briefly on the subject, his words were interpreted as an assurance that no further important busi- — ness legislation was contemplated. the President’s remarks in full, with relations to business legislation were as follows: “Our program of legislation with re- trerd to the regulation of business is now virtually complete. It has been put forth, as we intended, as a whole and leaves no conjecture as to what is to follow. The road at last lies clear and firm before business. It is a road which it can travel without fear or embarrags- ment. It is the road to ungrudged, un-| clouded success. In it every honest man, every man'who believes that the public interest is part of his own interest, may walk with perfect confidence.”’ lbiscusses National Defenses In the text of his address, which touched on the administration legisla- tive program for the session, urging passage of bills for Philippine independ- ence, Government-owned merchant ma- rine and some other projects begun but unfinished at the last session, the Pres- ident devoted most time to discussing the question of national defense, de- ploring a policy of militarism, but in- dorsing a development of the national guard and a military training for citi- zens. The Democratic side of both House and Senate greeted with applause and laughter his declaration that ‘some among us are nervous and excited,” and that ‘“‘we shall not turn America into a military camp.” “And especially when half the worl! on fire,”” said the President, “we shall be careful to make our moral in- surance against the spread of the Con- fiazration very deft and certain ans adequate indeed.”’ This sentiment was favorably received ou both sides of the Chamber. The President's address, the longest he had yet delivered to Congress, oc- cupied about 40 minutes In the reading. But the portion of the President's ad- dress which commanded intense interest was that in which he discussed the sub- ject of national defense. “It is. said in some quarters that we are not prepared for war,’’ said the President. ‘‘What is meant by being pre- pared? Is it meant that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a nation in the field, a nation of men trained to arms? Of course we are not ready to do that: and we shall never be in time of peace so long as we retain our pres- ent political principles and institutions. “And what is it that it is suggested we should be prepared to do? To defend ourselves against attack? We have al- ways found means to do that, and shall find them whenever it is necessary with- out calling our people away from their necessary tasks to render compulsory military service in times of peace. Clear and Settied Policy. “From the first we have had a clear and settled policy with regard to mill- tary establishments. We never have had, and while we retain our present principles and ideals we never shall have a large standing army. If asked. Are you ready to defend yourselves? We reply, Most assuredly, to the utmost: and yet we shall not turn America into a military camp. “We shall not ask our young men to spend the best years of their lives mak- ing soldiers of tiemselves. There is an- other sort of energy in us. It will know how to declare itself and make itself effective should occasion arise. And especially when half the world its on fire we shall be careful to make our moral insurance against the spread of the conflagration very definite and cer- tain and acequate indeed. ~ 4 is “Let us remind p poreng bens inervtare oe 4 am « ww P bed > m7 | President, in Brief, of the U.

I cannot believe that the Senate will let this great measure of construc- tive justice await the action of another Congress. Its passage would nobly crown the record of these two years of memorable labor. But I think that you will agree with me that this does not complete the toll of our duty. How are we to carry our goods to the empty markets of which I have spoken if we have not the ships? How are we to build up a great trade if we have not the certain and con- stant means of transportation upon which all profitable and useful com- merce depends? And how are we to get the ships if we wait for the trade to President Does Not . Expect Extra Session WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.

Our ships are our natural bulwarks.

Just now we should be particularly jeal- ous of it because it is our dearest pres ent hope that this character and repu- tation may presently, in God's provi- dence, bring us an opportunity such as has seldom been vouchsafed any nation —the opportunity to counsel and obtain peace in the world and@ reconciliation and a healing sentiment of many a mat- ter that has cooled and interrupted the friendship of nations. This is the time above all others when we should wish and resolve to keep our strength by self- possession, our influence by preserving cur ancient principles of action.’’ President’s Message to Congress in Full; Qutlines Program ‘The President’s message in full fol- lows: ma. | eer Gentlemen of the Congress: The session upon which you are now entering will be the closing session of the Sixty-third Congress, a Congress, I venture to say, which will long be re- membered for the great body of thoughtful and constructive work which it has done, in loyal response to the thought and needs of e country. I should like in this address to review the notable record and try to make ade- quate assessment of it; but no doubt we stand too near the work that has been done and are ourselves too much part of it to play the part of histori- ans toward it. Moreover, our thoughts are now more of the future than of the past. While we have worked at our tasks of peace the circumstances of the whole age have been altered by war. What we have done for our own land and our Own people we did with the best that Was in us, whether of character or of intelligence, with sober enthusiasm and "@ confidence’ in the principles upon ‘which we were acting which sustained us at every step of the difficult under- taking; but it is done. It has passed from our hands. It is now an estab- lished part of the legislation of the country. Its usefulness, its effects will @isclose themselves in experience. . New Tasks to Be Faced. What chiefly strikes us now, as we look about us during these closing days of a year which will be forever mem- orable in the history of the world, is that we face new tasks, have been fac- ing them these six months, must face them in the months to come—face them out partisan feeling, like men who have forgotten everything but a com- mon duty and the fact that we are yepresentatives of a great people whose thought is not of us but of what Amer- a Owes to herself and to all mankind | such circumstances as these upon Which we look amazed and anxious. \War has interrupted the means of trade not only but also the processes of préfiuction. In Europe it is destroying men and resources wholesale and upon ® scale unprecedented and appalling. There is reason to fear that the time is fear, if it be not already at hand, when of the countries of Europe will @ it difficult to do’ for their people ‘What they have hitherto been always @asily able to do—many essential and £ ndamental things. At any rate, they rill need our help and our manifold ervices as they have never needed them re; and we should be ready, more fitand ready than we have ever been. Nations Look to United States. e of equal consequence that the na- whom Europe has usually sup- with innumerable articles of man- facture and commerce of which they in constant need and without which ir economic development halts and stands still can now get only a small of what they formerly imported eagerly look to us to supply their t empty markets. This is particu- larly true of our own neighbors, the States, great and small, of Centra] and South America. Their lines of trade have hitherto run chiefly athwart the seas, not to our ports but to the ports of Great Britain and of the older con- tinent of Europe. I do not stop to in- quire why, or to make any comment on probable causes. What interests us just now is not the €xplanation but the fact, and our duty and opportunity in the presence of it. Here are markets which we must sup- ply, and we must find the means of agtion. The United States, this great aeople for whom we speak and act, should be ready, as never before, to serve itself and to serve mankind; ready with its resources, its energies, its forces of production, and its means of distribution. We Have Grossly Erred. It is a very practical matter, a miatter of ways and means. We have the re- sources, but are we fully ready to use them? And, if we can make ready what we have, have we the means at hand to distribute them? We are not fully ready; neither have we the means of distribution. We are willing, but we are not fully able. We have the wish to serve and to serve greatly, generous- a ly; but we are not prepared as we should be. We are not ready to mobilize our resources at once. We are not prepared 2 use them immediateiv and at their without delay and without waste. speak plainly, we have zrossiv in the way in which we have and hindered the development of : | our merchant marine. And now, when we need ships, we have not got them We have year after year debated, with- out end or conclusion, the best policy to pursue with regard to the use of the ores, and forests and water powers of our national domain in the rich states of the West, when we should have act- ed; and they are still locked up. The key is still turned upon them, the door shut fast at which thousands of vigor- ous men, full of initiative, knock clam- orously for admittance. The water pow- er of our navigable streams outside the national domain also, even in the East- ern states, where we have worked and Planned for generations, is still not used as it might be, because we will and we won't; because the laws we have made do not intelligently balance encourage- ment against restraint. We withhold | regulation. Would Remedy Conditions, I have come to ask you to remedy and correct these mistakes and omissions, even at this short session of a Congress which would certainly seem to have done all the’ work that could reasonably be expected of it, The time and the circum- stances are extraordinary, and so must our efforts be also. Fortunately, two great measures, fine- ly conceived, the one to unlock, with proper safeguards, the resources of the national domain, the other to encourage the use of navigable waters outside that domain for the generation of power, have already passed the House of Repre- sentatives and are ready for immediate consideration and action by the Senate. With the deepest earnestness I urge their prompt passage. In them both we turn our backs upon hesitation and makeshift and formulate a genuine poli- ey of use and conservation, in the best sense of those words. We owe the one measure, not only to the people of that great Western country for whose free and systematic development, as it seems to me, our legislation has done so little, but also to the people of the nation as a whole; and we as clearly owe the other in fulfillment of our repeated promises that the water power of the country should in fact as well as in name be put at the disposal of great industries which can make economical and profitable use of it, the rights of the public being ade- quately guarded the while, and monopoly in the use prevented. To have begun such measures and not completed tnem would indeed mar the record of this great Congress very seriously. I hope and confidently believe that they will be completed. Philippine Legislation. And there is another great piece of legislation which awaits and should re- ceive the sanction of the Senate: I mean the bill which gives a larger measure of self-government to the people of the Philippines. How better, fn this time of anxious questioning and perplexed poli- cy, could we show our confidence in the principles of liberty, as the source as well as the expression of life, how bet- ter could we demonstrate our own self- possession and steadfastness in the courses of justice and disinterestedness than by thus going calmly forward to fulfill our promises to a dependent peg- ple, who will now look more anxiously than ever to see whether we have indeed the liberalty, the unselfishness, the cour- age, the faith we have boasted and pro- Thin People — Can Increase Weight Thin men and women who would like to ‘ncrease their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy ‘“‘stay-there” fat should try eating a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note results. Here is a xood test worth trying. First weigh powipes® and measure yourself. Then take Sargol—one tablet with every meal—for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn’t a question of *how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and the tape measure will tell their own story, and most any thin man or woman can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by ees a this simple direction. And best of all, the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat, but mixing with your food, it turns the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten into rich, ripe fat-producing nour- ishment for the tissues and blood—pre- pares it *. an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily accept. All this nourishment now poses from your body ase waste. But argol stops the waste and does it quickly and makes the fat-producing contents of the very game meals vou are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be- tween your ekin and bones.

Must Correct Mistakes. To correct the many mistakes by which we have discouraged and all but destroyed the merchant marine of the country, to retrace the steps by which we have it, seems almost deliberately, withdrawn our flag from the seas, ex- cept where, here and there, a ship of war is bidden carry it or some wander- ing yacht displays it, would take a long time and involve many detailed items of legislation and the trade, which we ought immediately to handle would dis- appear or find other channels while we debated the items. The case is not unlike that which con- fronted us when our own continent was to be opened up to settlement and in- dustry, and we needed long lines of railway, extended means of transpor- tation prepared beforehand, if develop- ment was not to lag intolerably and wait interminably. We lavishly sub- sidized the building of transcontinent- al railroads. We look back upon that with regret now, because the subsidies led to many scandals of which we are ashamed; but we know that the rail- roads had to be built, and if we had it to do over again we should of course | build them, but in another way. Proposes Another Way. Therefore I propose another way of providing the means of transportation, which must precede, not tardily follow the development of our trade with our Not a Government Monopoly. It is not a question of the Government monopolizing the field. It should take action to make it certain that transpor- tation at reasonable rates will be promptly provided, even where the car- riage is not at first profitable; and then, when the carriage has become suf- ficiently profitable to attract and en- gage private capital, and engage it in abundance, the Government ought to withdraw. I very earnestly hope that the Congress will be of this opinion, and that both Houses will adopt this ex- ceedingly important bill. The great subject of rural credits still remains to be dealt with, and it is a matter of deep regret that the difficulties of the subject have seemed to render it impossible to complete a bill for passage at this session. But it can not be perfected yet, and, therefore, there are no other constructive measures the necessity for which I will at this time call your attention to; but I would be negligent of a very manifest duty were I not to call the attention of the Sen- ate to the fact that the proposed con- vention for safety at sea awaits its confirmation and that the limit fixed in the convention itself for its accept- ance is’ the last day of the present month. U. 8S. Called Conference. The conference in which this conven- tion originated was called by the United neighbor states of America. It may seem a reversal of the natural order of things, but it is true, that the routes of trade must be actually opened—by many ships and regular sailings ani moderate charges—before streams of merchandise will flow freely and profit- ably through them. Hence the pending shipping bill, dis- cussed at the last session, but as yet passed by neither House. In my judg- ment, such legislation is imperatively needed and cannot wisely be postponed The Government must open these gates of trade, and open them wide: open them before it is altogether profit- able to open them, or altogether reason- States; the representatives of the Unit- ed States played a very influential part indeed in framing the provisions of the rroposed convention; and those provis- ions are in themselves for the most part admirable. It would hardly be consistent with the part we have played in the whole mat- ter to let it drop and go by the board as if forgotten and neglected. It was ratified in May last by the German rovernment and in August by the Par- liament of Great Britain. It marks a most hopeful and decided advance in international civflization. We should chow our earnest good faith in a great matter by adding our own acecptance able to ask private capital to open them There is another matter of which I; must make special mention, if I am to discharge my conscience, lest it should escape your attention. It may seem a very small thing. It affects only a sin- gle item of appropriation. But many human lives and many great enterprises hang upon it. It is the matter of mak- ing adequate provision for the survey and charting of our coasts. It is imme- diately pressing and exigent in connec- tion with the immense coast line of, Alaska, a coast greater than that of the United States themselves, though it is also very important indeed with regard to the older coasts of the continent. We cannot use our great Alaskan do- main, ships will not ply thither, if those coasts and their many hidden dangers are not thoroughly surveyed and chart- ed. The work is incomplete at almost every point. Ships and lives have been lost in threading what were supposed to be *vell-known main channels. We have not provided adequate vessels or ade- quate machinery for the survey and charting. We have used old vessels that were not big enough or strong enough) and which were so nearly unseaworthy that our inspectors would not have al- lowed private owners to send them to sea. This is a matter which, as I have said, seems small, but is in reality very great. Its importance has only to be looked into to be appreciated. Advocates Economy. Before I close may I say a few words upon two topics, much discussed out of doors, upon which it is highly important that our judgments should be clear, def- inite, and steadfast? One of these is economy in Govern- ment expenditures. The duty of econ- omy is not debatable. It is manifest and imperative. In the appropriations we pass we are spending the money of —-. _ ae a WHAT DYSPEPTICS SHOULD EAT A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE, “Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble are, nine times out of ten, due to acidity; therefore. stomach sufferers should, whenéver possible, avoid eating food that is acid in its na- ture, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops aciaty. Unfortunately, such a rule elimnates most foods which are pleasant to the taste, as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaciated and lack- ing in thag vital energy which can only come from a well-fed body.

Would Train Citizens Instead of Increasing Standing Army the great people whose servants we are —not our own. We are trustees and re- sponsible stewards in the spending. The only thing debatable and upon. which we should be careful to make our thought and purpose clear is the kind of economy demanded of us. I assert with the greatest confidence that the people of the United States are not jealous of the amount their Govern- ment costs if they are sure that they get what they need and desire for the outlay, that the money is being spent for objects of which they approve, and that it is being applied with good busi- ness sense and management. Governments grow, piecemeal, both in their tasks and in the means by which those tasks are to be performed, and very few Governments are organ- ized, I venture to say, as wise and ex- perienced business men would organize them if they had a clean sheet of paper to write upon. Certainly the Govern- ment of the United States is not. I think that it is generally agreed that there should be a systematic reorgan-. ization and reassembling of its parts so as to secure greater efficiency and ef- fect considerable savings in expense. Would Enlarge Activities. But the amount of money saved in that way would, I believe, though no doubt considerable in itself, running, it may be, into the millions, be relatively small—small, I mean, in proportion to tne total necessary outlays of the Gov- ernment. It would be thoroughly worth effecting, as every saving would, great o> small. Our duty is not altered by the scale of the saving. But my point is that the people of the United States d« not wish to curtail the activities of this Government; they wish, rather, to enlarge them; and with every enlarge- ment, with the mere growth, indeed, of the country itself, there must come. of course, the inevitable increase of ex- pense. The sort of economy we ought to practice may be effected, and ought to be effected, by a careful study and as- sessment of the tasks to be performed: and the money spent ought to be made to yleld the best possible returns in efficiency and achievement. And, like gcod stewards, we should so account for every dollar of our appropriations as to make it perfectly evident what it was spent for and in what way it was spent. Nation Is Generous. It is not expenditure, but extravagance that we should fear being criticized for; not paying for the legitimate enter- prises and undertakings of a great gov- ernment whose people command what it should do, but adding what will benefit only ® few or pouring money out for what need not have been undertaken a* all or might have been postponed or better and more economically conceived and carried out. The nation is not nig- fardly; it is very generous. It will chide us only if we forget for whom we pay money out and whose money it is we pay. These are large and general standards, but they are not very difficult of application to partivcu- lar cases. The other topic I shall take leave to mention goes deeper into the principles of our national life and policy. It is the subject of national defense. It cannot be discussed without first an- swering some very searching questions. Tt is said in some quarters that we are not prepared for war. What is meant by being prepared? Is it meant that we are Piles Cured tn 6 to 14 Days.

I have tried to know what America is, what her people think, what they are, what they most cherish and hold dear. I hope that some of their finer passions are in my own heart— Some of the great conceptions and de- sires which gave birth to this Govern- ment and which have made the voice of this people a voice of peace and hope and liberty among the peoples of the world, and that, speaking my own thoughts, I shall, at least in part, speak theirs also, however faintly and inade- quately upon this vital matter. We are at peace with, all the world No one who speaks counsel based on fact or drawn from a just and candid interpretation of realities can say that there is reason to fear that from any quarter our independence or the _ in- tegrity of our territory is threatened. Dread of the power of any other nation we are incapable of. We are not jealous of rivalry in the fields of commerce or any other peaceful achievement. We mean to live our own lives as we will: but we mean also to let live. We are, indeed, a true friend to all the nations of the world, because we threateu none, covet the possessions of none, desire the overthrow of none. Our friendship can be accepted and is accepted without reservation, because it is offered in @ spirit and for a purpose which no one need ever question Or suspect. Where Our Greatness Lies, Therein lies our greatness. We are the champions of peace and of concord. And we should be very jealous of this dis- tinction which we have sought to earn. Just now we should be particularly jeai- our of it, because it is our dearest pres- ent hope that this character and repu- tation may presently, in God’s provi- dence, bring us an opportunity such as has seldom been vouchsafed any nation, the opportunity to counsel and obtain peace in the world and reconciliation and a healing settlement of many a matter that has cooled and interrupted the friendship of nations. This is the time above all others when we should wish and resolve to keep our strength by self-possession, our influ- ence by preserving our ancient princi- ples of action. From the first we have had a clear and settled policy with regard to mili- tary establishments. We never have had, and while we retain our present principles and ideals we never shalt have, a large standing army. If asked, Are you ready to defend yourselves? we reply, Most assuredly, to the utmost: and yet we shall not turn America into a military camp. We will not ask our voung men to spend the best years ot their lives making soldiers of them- selves. There is another sort of energy in us; It will Know how to declare itself and make itself effective should occasion arise. And especially when half the world is on fire we shall be careful to make our moral insurance against the spread of the conflagration very definite and certain and adequate indeed Would Train Citizens. Let us remind ourselves, therefore, of the only thing we can do or will do. We must depend in every time of na- tional peril, in the future as in the past, not upon a standing army, rior yet upon a reserve army, but upon a citizenry trained and accustomed to arms. It will be right enough, right American policy, based upon our accustomed principles and practices, to provide a system by) which every citizen who will volunteer for the training may be made familiar with the use of modern arms, the rudi- | guard of the staaes should be developed and strengthened by every means which is not inconsistent with our obligations to our own people or with the estab- lished policy of our Government. And this, also, not because the time or oc: casion specially calls for such measures, but because it should be our constant policy to make these provisions for our national peace and safety. More than this carries with it a re- versal of the whole history and charac- ter of our policy. More than this, pro- posed at this time, permit me to say, would mean merely that we had lost our self-possession, that we had been thrown off our balance by a war with which we have nothing to do, whose causes can not touch us, whose very existence affords us opportunities of friendship and _ disinterested service which should make us ashamed of any thought of hostility or fearful prepara- tion for trouble. This Our Opportunity. This is assuredly the opportunity for which a people and a government like curs were raised up, the opportunity not only to speak, but actually to em- body and exemplify the counsels of peace and amity and the lasting Con- cord which is based on justice and fa'r end generous dealing. A. powerful navy we have always re garded as our proper and natural means of defense: and it has always been of Cefense that we have. thought, never of aggression or of conquest. But who shall tell us now what sort of navy to build? We shall take leave to bea strong upon the seas, in the future as in the past; and there will be no thought ef offense or of provocation in that. Our ships are our natural bulwarks When will the experts tell us just what kind we should construct—and when will they be right for 10 years togeth- er, if the relative efficiency of craft of different kinds and uses continues to change as we have seen it change un- der our very eyes in these last few months? Will Not Alter Attitude. But I turn away from the subject. It is not new. There is no new need to discuss it. We shall not alter out atti- tude toward it because some amongst us are nervous and excited. We shall easily and sensibly agree upon a policy of defense. The question has not changed its aspects because the times are not normal. Our policy will not be for an occasion. It will be conceived as a per- manent and settled thing, which we will pursue at all seasons, without haste and after a fashion perfectly consistent with the peace of the world, the abiding friendship of states, and the unhampered freedom of all with whom we deal. Let there be no misconception. The country has been misinformed. We have not been negligent of national de- fense. We are not unmindful of the great responsibility resting upon us. We shall learn and profit by the lesson of every experience and every new circum- stance: and what is needed will be ade- quately done. Great Duties of Peace. IT close; as IT began, by reminding you of the great tasks and duties of peace which challenge our best powers and in- vite us to build what will last, the tasks to which we can address ourselves now and at all times with free-hearted zest and with all the finest gifts of construc- tive wisdom we possess. To develop our life and our resources; to supply our own people, and the peo- ple of the world as their need arises, from the abundant plenty of our flelds and our marts of trade; to enrich the 7 ‘aa \: i e A A A AE AER 0a ee: { ° ;- ot os whtfie~. af “2 “A § dP reo ria sf “> * ae / . bj » aioe ~ im, 7 tn nett Satta ~ le bse * 2 SS RMIRIRRE MR Tamera OES ~ gt

According to the story Fountain told to District Attorney E. S.

She had been in the habit of going to the church basement with other little girls to make doll dresses for was innocent, Christmas presents for poor children. Fountain said he was putting chair in place when the what happened after that. “Then I was away from the church “Then I went back and I saw the little girl what had taken place, I took the child’s body and car- ried it up into the attic of the church till about 2:30,’’ Fountain said. there and recognized and laid it down on the rafters. “I then left the church. I returned I brought the body down and placed it at the foot of the stairs and then made a re- port that I had found the child dead.”’ Fountain said he did not remember of killing the girl or of wrapping the rope around her neck. It is believed by the authorities that after choking the child into submission he tied the rope around her neck to assist in carrying her into the attic, as it was necessary to climb later and went to the attic. a ladder to get there. The grand jury today indicted Foun- tain on a charge of murder. The statement, ‘‘maybe I did it, and maybe I didn’t,” was the Beginning of Fountain’s weakening, the police said.

Right Wing Was Menaced. ‘Little by little, we observed that the Germans in front of us were moving in a northerly direction and that an im- portant force of the enemy was being concentrated along the front between Thorn and Slouptsy. This movement menaced seriously our right wing and the communication of this wing with its base. | “At the same time we learned that certain important highways in Silesia which led to the fronts on which our other armies were in position were be- ing strongly protected by Austrian | troops brought from Galicia and that these forces were in turn supported in part by German troops, The highways in question were, furthermore doubtless strongly fortified, particularly in the vi- cinity of Czenstochowa and Cracow. “This new military situation made it incumbent upon us to put into effect a partial modification of the dispositions of our men along our northern front, a change which involved a considerable number of our forces. “This maneuver was effected under the protection of the supports to our right wing, previously mentioned. These supporting forces were subjected to a series of ferocious attacks in the vicin- ity of Vioblavsk, Kutno and Lenezyca. The Russian resistance here prevented the carrying out of the German opera- tions and permitted us to bring together the forces necessary to check the Ger- man offensive movement. undertaken in the vicinity of Thorn and Slouptsy. Russian Front Penetrated., “After these occurrences the Ger- mans for a period of several days en- deavored stubbornly to drive us from the positions held by our right wing: which rested on the River Vistula. “On Nov. 19, after unbelievable efforts and encrmous sacrifices, the enemy suc- ceeded in penetrating our front. This success was at once followed by the driving of a German avalanche into the opening thus made, the forces of the enemy thence making their way in the direction of Strykow, Brzeziny, Ko- luschky, Tuszyn and Rzgow. “Ignoring our right wing and our forces in the vicinity of Lodz and to the West of this city, the Germans then at- tacked with great energy the Russian forces which menaced their rear. Furthermore, on Novy. 23, strong German columns making their way to the east of the River Warta, already were near- ing Lask. In spite of these conditions, most difficult and distressing for us, our troops continued to fight with increasing energy. In the region to the north of* Lodz our forces repulsed the frantic attack of the Germans, inflicting heavy losses. “Two detacnments of Russian _ re- serves, thrown against the forces of the eneny in the region of Tuszyn and Iingow, by their energetic action were successful in compelling the enemy first to desist from his offensive movement against our rear positions and, later, to take the defensive. These German coal- umns were thrown into disorder. (ierman Lines Broken. “In the meantime, our troops, _ re- tarning to the fight along the front between Lowicz and Skierniewice; were successful in regaining possession of ftrykow and Bresiny, thus severing the lines of communication of the Ger- man troops, who had withdrawn toward Regow and Tuszyn. In this manner there was brought about shortly afte. Nov. 28 an improvement and the genr- eral situation became distinctly favor- able for us along. the front between Zéunska-Wola, Szadek and Lodz. = “The Germans, having suffered enor- Pt neh Bs i Fla SR te A. ARM the necessity of retiring and taking up positions in new trenches. As to the German reserves, they were all sent to Strykow to succor the forces cut off by our detachments. These Germans, on the front between Rzgow and Tus- zyn, were retracing their steps in the direction of Brzeziny. At the same time tne Germans, by furious attacks, were endeavoring to prevent us from throw- ing a last encircling detachment around their forces which had been concen- trated at Brzeziny. “On the 2th of November the Ger- mans made an unbelievable effort. By a series of repeated night attacks they succeeded in winning their way to the town of Strykow. In this action, ac- cording to their own official admission, they sustained unheard-of losses, which were due to the fact that they had to cut a way for themselves while still subjected all the time to our fire. The movements of our troops compelled them to retire into a restricted area. The losses in the divisions of the enemy which took. part in this driving in of cur front and the subsequent operations were so heavy that these divisions had to be withdrawn completely not only from the fighting, but from the front. The fighting, nevertheless, continued. According to the recital of prisoners be- longing. to other contingents,. German companies of an original strength of from 260 to 280 men were go cut up that at the end of the bayonet charges they were reduced to no more than 70 men. Attacks Ceased Saturday. “One of the results of the battle be- tween Lowicz and Lodz not favorable to the Germans ‘is to be seen in the fact that they had to move important rein- forcements to their eastern front. All told, the Germans brought to these en- gagements reinforcements to the number of six army corps and five divisions of cavalry. A certain portion of these men were sent to the.eastern front, the remainder were used for the forma- tion of new detachments. “This coming of reinforcements in large numbers began Nov. 2% and made it possible for the Germans to continue their attacks on our positions from Nov. 27 to Dec. 5 Nevertheless, these attacks were 'not always made in uni- son, and they were without effect. The evening of Dec. 5, the Germans discon- tinued their offensive operations, having sustained +eavy losses.” , ,™ vr Turkish Officers Serving With mans in Poland Campaign. PETROGRAD, Dec. 8.—The Bourse Gazette estimates the German oasu- alties in the month of fighting around Lodz at 100,000, and says the percentage of loss is particularly high among the commanding and commissioned officers. Even Colonels, and occasionally Generals, it says, re- mained'on the firing line until they were able to escape only by motor cycles. . According to wounded German offi- cers in the prison camp at Bielostok, Russia, a number of Turkish officers are serving in the German army in Poland. It is said they had been training in the German military schools and were drafted on account of the lack of competent officers. Two Turkish officers, who were sent from Constantinople ‘to Berlin on a commission in connection with a ship- ment of war supplies, are said to have been pressed into the service in Poland.

LOO OE ee me ee ce eR : BRILLIANT HOUSE CFES PREMIERE OF THE QUICKSANDS New Play Tells Good Story Which, However, Needs Re- vision and Strengthening. i hiceteainiaaeiaiatda By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. HE most brilliantly representative 4: playhouse audience of the present season assembled at the Park The- ater last evening to w‘tness the first performance on any stage of “The Quicksands,”’ a drama ov Lewis B. Ely of St. Louis. At the close of the second act the play’s author was called to the foot- lights in response to this audience's cor- dial applause, and, in the course of a brief curtain speech, dedicated his work to his friend, G. H. Walker, and voiced his appreciation of the effective stag- ing of the play by Charles Sinclair of the Park Theater forces. “The Quicksands” revealed itself as & play possessing a strong story which, with its telling effectively begun in a cleverly constructed first act, is weak- ened by undue “talkiness’’ and long- drawn-out scenes in the second and third, causing a loss of interest that tended to diminish the dramatic appeal of its climax and somewhat to imperil the first-night success of the work as a whole. So full of effective possibilities is the story itself, however, that it should be & comparatively easy task for Play- wright Ely to shape ‘“‘The Quicksands’”’ into a genuinely commendable drama that will hold the attention of an audi- ence from start to finish and thereby both deserve and com-rand the play- going favor necessary to its prosperous living. The vital story already is there. It is found in the hapless complications, born of untoward circumstan:e, that paint to Tom Bronson, hero of the play and sweetheart of Nancy Bland, daughter of Governor Bland of Misscuri, as the ‘lover’ of Mrs. Strong. wife of Judge Strong of the State Supreme Court, when the guilty man in reality is Gov. Bland himself, father of the girl whom voung Bronson loves. Here, with its potentialities of a sud- den big’ surprise, which indeed are par- tially realized in the play’s’ third act, though smothered under excessive verbosity and the delayed action due to inconsequential incidents, is the founda- tion fabric of a good drama. This fabric is not destroyed by Mr, Ely’s treatment of his story—the defect of its handling exists in ineffective de- velopment that may be remedied, one cannot but believe, by a resolute “‘cut- ting’ of dialogue and a greater direct- ness of action that shall carry the story straightforwardly along its natural line of progress to a denovement that should not fall to be grippingly effective. Judging from the performance of lagt night, the frst necessity for the play's must be the elimi- nation of the third act scene between Judge Strong and Nancy Biand, based on Nancy’s attempt to shield her sweet- heart by claiming that it was she who visited him in his hotel on the preced- ing evening. The audience knows this to be an im- possible attempt at deceit, remembering that there were two eyewitnesses to the presence of Mrs. Strong in Tom Bbronson’s room—these witnesses being Miss McElroy, the ovrivate detective, and the night clerk of the hotel. Consequently the ‘grueling’ cross-ex- amination of Nancy by the wronged husband in the case, save for the one fact that an inadvertent happening serves to turn Judge Strong's suspicions from young Bronson to Nancy’s father, the Governor, is utterly wasted and entirely superfluous, the Judge himself ultimately confounding Nancy by a mention of these convinc- ing eyewitnesses, this being a truth Which, in real life, he at once would have brought forward in refutation of her own flimsy story. The one point of value scored in this scene could be attained by 10 lines of dialogue instead of being reached only after an intermin- able stretch of shuttlecock talk between the two. With this scene shortened almost to the point of elimination, and with a vig- crous pruning ef the unimportant dia- logue between the several servants of the Strong household immediately pre- ceding the flight of the guilty Mrs. Strong, the play’s third act would be made infinitely stronger and more tense- ly dramatic. Then, with a building up of the one “big moment’’ of the play—that when Judge Strong confronts Gov. Bland with the truthful accusation that indicts the Governor himself as Mrs. Strong’s “‘lover’’—the play would have reached a climax of unimpaired power in keeping with its possibilities in effective drama. It is my personal conviction, also, that “The Quicksands” would gain in plaus- ibility if Tom Bronson were not made to figure as a paroled convict. I could not see wherein this secondary theme carried any weight whatever toward a further strengthening of the play’s ap- peal across the footlights, nor wherein its attempt at the creation of a ‘‘side issue’ of sympathy -for young Bron- son had any bearing on the story’s main theme. On the other hand, there were mo- ments when all the ‘“talkinegs,’’ pro cnd on, concerning the final pardon- ing of Tom or the revocation of his rarole, became exceedingly tiresome a- halting the play’s really vital action The play was well presented by 1. rast which included Mitchell Harris a: Tom Bronson, Marion Ruckert as Nancy Bland.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCE. BOVERNOR ALONE PAN SAVE FRANK FROM EXECUTION United States Supreme Court Declines ta Act in Case of Slayer of Girl, Aged 14. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 8—The case of Leo Frank for the review of which the United States Supreme Court yesterday refused to grant a writ of error, will be given careful consideration by Gov. John M. Slaton, whose clemency alone can now save Frank from execution for the murder of Mary Phagan, 14 years old. Gov. Slaton said today he was not yet prepared to forecast his ac- tion. ‘ “T am still unacquainred with the evi- dence, except in a general way,’ Gov. Slaton said, “but if tne case comes to me I will read and consider all of the evidence carefully.” Every, legal effort in Frank’s behalf having been exhausted, it is taken for granted an appeal to the Governor and the Prison Board will be made. Refusal of the United States Supreme Court to review the case brought an announcement from _ Solicitor-General Hugh M. Dorsey that immediate steps would be taken to have a new date set for Frank’s execution. The Solicitor- General will appear before Superior Judge Benjamin H. Hill tomorrow and ask the Court for a writ directing that Frank be produced for resentence. Gov. Slaton Wires to Post-Dispatch He In Unacquainted With Evidence. The following telegram sent last night. was received today by the Post-Dis- patch from Gov. John M. Slaton of Geor- gia, in reply to an inquiry as to whether he had determined what action he would take in the Leo Frank case. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 7.

Wednesday on “Christmas Special.” th phone or mail orders; one to a customer. Lammerts 1OLW G& WASHINGTON Association, from the receipts of the Pageant and Masque of St. Louis, pre- sented in Forest Park last May. The amount of the balance in the as- sociation’s treasury and the plan fer tho permanent Forest Park stage, to which most of the remainder is to be applied, were stated in the report of the associa- tion's treasurer and other officials, made public last night. While the surplus was a pleasant sur- prise to the producers, some of whom at one time feared a deficit, it does not mean that the seat sales on the four evenings of the Pageant paid the ex- penses of the production. The biggest item of the receipts was the $67,959.31 collected by public subscription before the seat sale began. From the sale of seats $59,151.40 was realized. Concessions and salvage from the stage, the latter item being $4126.48, brought the total re- ceipts up to $142,663.19. Films a Disappointment. The treasurer’s report shows no sepa- rate record of receipts from moving picture films, This item is apparently included under the $2176.51 concessions receipts. The returns from the ‘films made, under an exclusive concession plan, are known to have been a dis- appointment to the producers. An item of $9.16 for motion pictures appears among the expenses. The biggest single item among the expenses ig $16,085.35 for®construction of the great frame stage, the largest ever built anywhere. The fees and expenses of the authors, composer and Pageant master, are included under an item of $12,642.48. The instrumental music of the production cost $5986.58. The total of expenses was $126,927.06, a fairly close approximation to the original estimate of $125,000. A Permanent Stage. It is the association’s plan to apply the greater part of the surplus to the erection of a permanent stage on the site of the temporary Pageant stage, which has been demolished. A commit- tee named to consider this Matter with Park Commissioner Davis as chairman, reported that such a stage could be used for concerts, drills, turnfests, cel- ebrations, graduating exercises, political meetings, fireworks shows, pageants, boating and skating carnivals. Another committee, headed by Louis LaBeaume, outlined the plans for the stage, which. would be ‘‘close in shore,’ not more than 80 feet from the foot of Art Hill, and would be connected with the shore by ornamental bridges under which boats could pass. The cost of such a permanent. structure is not stated, but the money on hand is spoken quired. The preservation of the Cahokia (Monk’s) Mound, in Illinois, is men- tioned as an object toward which the association is co-operating. The foster- ing of the Pageant Choral Society, and the recreational use of public school buildings, are also mentioned as objects for which the association has striven with *success. BARTHOLDT ADDRESSES MISSOURI PEACE SOCIETY Congressman Says All Nations Are to Blame for Keeping Big Military Estblishments. Congressman Richard Bartholdt, presi- dent of the Missouri Peace Society, made the principal address at the sc- ciety’s meeting in Sheldon Memorial last night. He and others spoke chiefly of the European War, but avoided ex- pressions of sympathy as between the ecntending sides.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. IDENT WILSON today instructed the State Depart- ment to make a full investi- gation of published charges that James M. Sullivan, American Min- ister to the Dominican republic, had used his influence to get ¢con- tracts for his friends and relatives. from the Dominican Government. At the same time a denial of all charges and a request from Sulli- van for an inquiry was given out. Similar charges against Sullivan once were investigated and later he was allowed to return to his post. Representative James A. Hamill of New Jersey, whose name was mentioned as one of Sullivan’s sponsors, is said to be ready to join the request for an investigation. I could not close my eyes to and main- tain my self-respect. Such attitude is not my ideal of citizenship nor of pub- lic service. I know, too, that it is not the ideal of President Wilson and I have never faltered in my faith that if ever the truth about Santo Domingo could be placed directly in his hands there would be prompt and righteous action.”’ Vick ts assistant secretary of thie Dem ocratic National Committee. the first lieutenant of Willi Combs in the management Of the Wil- ae REIN. Vick was placed in executive charge of the National Committee. Next to Mc- Combs, no man living has so intimate knowledge of the details of the Wilson campaign, and none has received more cordial thanks from President Wilson for devoted service. After the nation] campaign Vick became secretary of ths Inaugural Committee, and then was ap- pointed by the President to the Dom- inican customs receivership, a post most remmunerative and more desirable even than Sullivan’s place as Minister. An outline of 10 chapters, details of which are promised by the World in succeeding stories, is given. CHAPTER 1. This tells of the appointment of Sullivan. It is stated that this was engineered by William C. Beer, a New York lawyer, who bad been denounced upon the floor of the House as a Morgan-Perkins lob- byist. Representative James A. Hamil. of Jersey City and Secretary Tumulty are said to have been active sponsors. Senator James O’Gorman, to whose pat- ronage list Sullivan was credited, said he was not interested in the appoint- ment excepting that Hamill told him that he and Tumulty were interested. Hamill had shown his interest in Beer by surrendering one of his West Point appointments to Beer’s*son in another state. Beer has declined to make any statement to the World regarding the Sullivan candidacy and Tumulty said he was only interested in seeing a square deal. Beer had been an active G. O. P. worker until] 1912 when he contributed to the Democratic National Committee. Sullivan also had been a Republican. Sullivan was introduced at the Union TUESDAY EVENING, aL naenmnsasenaneeemne uel M. Jarvis to their friends interesteg in Santo Domingo. Jarvis was the pro. moter of the Banco Nasional de Santo Domingo and Betr was represented as being financially interested in it. Before and after Sullivan’s appoint- ment Beer got attentive hearing from Bryan for the bank's complaints against the National City Bank, its rival ror contracts and concessions, Sullivan's confirmation was put through the Senate despite many pro- tests, one from men of Yale University, of which Sullivan is a graduate. As Sullivan was about to leave for Santo Domingo, he confided to a friend that “the Big Chief’ (meaning Beer) “ig not only going to be the financial agent of Santo Domingo but of Nicaragua as well.” CHAPTER 2.—This recites that imme- diately upon reaching Santo Do- mingo, Minister Sullivan told Vick that Secretary Bryan had told him he would like to see the funds of the Collector's office transferred to the Banco Nation- al from a private bank where they had been kept. Vick demanded $100,000 se- curity be furnished. In January a draft which the Banco Nacional had sold to the Receivership of Customs went to protest. Vick at once endeavored to have the funds intrusted removed else- where. He was opposed by Sullivan and it was not until 20 days after Vick had sent in his final resignation that the funds were removed. Director-General Removed. CHAPTER 3.—Minister Sullivan quick- ly got information regarding all contracts and demanded that the De- partment of Public Works should de- posit its funds in Banco National. Di- rector-General John L. Mann, who re- fused to comply, was removed and Mann filed a complaint with Secretary Bryan. | DECEMBER §8, 1914. In Mann's place Bryan appointed A. J. Collet ds Director-General. Collet is son-in-law of James C. Dahiman, the former “Cowboy Mayor of Omaha,” and long an opponent of Bryan. Soon after the appointment Dahiman bolted his supporters at the Democratic $tate con- vention in Columbus, Neb., and joined the Bryan faction. CHAPTER 4 Harry 8S. Dickey of South Bend, Ind., was appointed by Secretary Bryan as the technical mem-~- ber of a commission to investigate the Department of Public Works. He was not equipped for the work and while in Santo Domingo was inactive. Dickey’s brother is president of the Winona Chautauqua, where Bryan is a frequent “headliner.” CHAPTER 5. The president of an en- gineering company makes affidavit that 5 to 10 per cent participation in the profits of all public works contracts was demanded of him for Sullivan. Fees for Contracts. CHAPTER 6. The World agrees to provide details for the effective exami- nation of certain contractors in the United States who have stated that they were solicited to pay retaining fees of @8 much as $5000 and a percentage of the Santo Domingo contracts to be got- ten under the Sullivan regime. Some of these men prefer not to testify volun- tarily. CHAPTER 7. Timothy J. Sullivan, cousin of Minister Sullivan, came from Springfield, Mass., to take part in the Santo Domingo public works contracts. “Cousin Tim’ almost immediately got a@ contract through the Minister’s in- fluence for the construction of a bridge. The job was financed by the Banco Nacional which by this time had ob- tained the deposits of the Department of ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. | Public Works. The bank also lent “Cousin Tim" $1000 on a note indorsed by the Minister. Timothy Sullivan told a citizen of Boston, who makes oath to the statement, that this $1000 would never have to be paid as it was to be- come ‘‘part of the Minister's rakeoff.”’ He also announced that James K. Mc- ) Guire of New York was coming to Santa Domingo and would have the pick of the public works contracts because the Minister would not approve other con- tracts, a power he now has under the present treaty. CHAPTER 8. McGuire arrived in Santo Domingo according to prediction and was living in the American legation with Sullivan in Nov. 1, 1913, when a grand jury in New York was fhvesti- gating a charge that he had solicited an illegal campatgn contribution ‘of $6000 from the Union Oil Co. An indictment was found and is still pending. CHAPTER 9. In the promotion of Sul- livan’s nomination and confirmation, in- discriminate promises of jobs in Santo Domingo were made to men who were induced to work in his behalf, or to whom other political or personal obli- gations were Owing, in one instance a Man was sent to the island with as- surance that he had been placed on the Government payroll weeks before he left New York. He arrived in Santo Do- mingo to find he had no job at all. New positions, at the expense of the Dominican Government, were to be cre- ated—and in one flagrant case the job has been created—to make shelters for friends of William C. Beer and hench- men of State Department politicians. CHAPTER 10. As a representative of the United States in its purely pater- nalistic relationship with the Dominican republic, Sullivan has been a faflure.4§ publication of charges against James M. Expenses of intervention and investiga- tion have been loaded upon the United States, and Santo Domingo has been racked almost continuously by revolu- tion largely attributable to Sullivan's recognized alliance with the interests exploiting the republic. With Sullivan's open assistance the Bordas Government —friendly to the Banco Nacional inter- este—was continued in power until pop- ular revolt could be repressed no longer. Legation Is Discredited. In the eyes of the Dominican people the American legation is discredited, Minister Sullivan’s motives are ques- tioned and to his dcts is largely attrib- uted the responsibility for continued chaos and bloodshed. Condemnation oi Minister Sullivan has been published in Santiago Cuba, Porto Rico and Hayti and the scandal of his administration has cast a reflection upon the American Government’s policies throughout the Caribbean. Americans have heard even so far away as Hamburg and Havre, where Dominican commerce is exten- sive, humiliating reflections upon the character of this Government’s diplo- matic representation in the island. The recent outbreak of new disturb- ances and the sending of more marines to Santo Domingo under “urgent hurry orders,” coincident with Sullivan’s re- turn to his post, may justify the con- viction of many Dominicans and Amer- icans familiar with conditions that there can be no permanent restoration of peace so long as Sullivan remains in Santo Domingo, the discredited repre- sentative’ of the American Government.

The World states that evidence of the amature of these deals repeatedly has “been placed before Secretary of State “Bryan and that, as a result, Sullivan —chas been whitewashed, the public de- “ceived regarding the alleged investiga- . “tion upon which the vindication of Sul- ~ ivan was based, and attempts made to f-blacken the character of Walter W. "Vick, who, as receiver of customs, op- “posed Sullivan’s methods. ! “* when, on Nov. 21, Bryan announced “ne had found the charges against Sul- ' livan groundless, and sent him Back to chis post, the World began an inquiry “into the forces which kept Sullivan in “office. Sullivan, the World says, has no qualifications for a diplomat, is the ““*rtend and former press agent of “Bald “ Jack’ Rose, the gambler-gunman o. the ‘Rosenthal murder, and was an attor- ney for Rose. | i Sullivan’s “Vindication.” - At the time of sailing to resume his “post, Sullivan referred a reporter of “the World to his public vindication "from the White House on Sept. 80. This go called vindication was made public “by Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the * President. The World has been unable to learn if President Wilson personally “authorized the interview, but it has nev- “er been denied. The Associated Press ‘account of the affair follows: ‘ Charges against James M. Sulli- van, American Minister to the Do- _ mintean republic, brought by Walk- _ er, W. Vick, former Collector of Cus- toms at Santo Domingo, have been ~ pronounced groundless by Former * Gov. Fort of New Jersey, who made an investigation for President WiI- _. son, This was stated today at the - White House. - Other reports stated, as Secretary Tu- _multy haé previously done, that Charles Cogswell Smith of Portsmouth also in- vestigated Sullivan's conduct and exon- _ erated him, cue Deny Investigation. ~ The World now says that both Fort eand Smith deny unequivocally that they were authorized to investigate Minister Sullivan. Mr. Fort has stated privately that he made some personal inquiries _ because of many complaints to him re- “parding the Minister’s conduct. He said, ©“?n substance, that he did not find » @nough to convict the Minister in a “eourt of law, but thet Sullivan was manifestly unfit to represent the Unit- ed States in a diplomatic capacity. Mr. Port said he had not been asked to ~™make any report on Sullivan to anyone and had made none. Announcement of the “vindication” of Sullivan as it reached the newspaper readers carried the implication § that Vick had been forced out of the cus- pee sh PRS: “~S Sista stab a Ns ea 2 ee; + LX re Acting upon a proclamation issued by Gov. Major, fixing Dec. 19 as charity day, a statewide effort is being made by the people of Missouri to gather con- tributions of food and elothes to the value of $500,000 ror the European war sufferers. Benjamin Altheimer has been appointed treasurer of the committee to receive contributions, which should be sent to him in care of the Mississip- pi Valley Trust Co. of St. Louis. The executive committee having charge of the campaign met in St. Louis yes- terday. The members of this committee are Gov. Major, honorary chairman; Col. Fred D. Gardner, chairman; David R. Francis, Lieutenant-Governor Wil- liam R. Painter of Carrollton, Col. Moses Schoenberg, E. W. Stephens of Columbia, Walter 8. Dickey of Kansas City, O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph and A. C. Stewart of St. Louis. A. C. Bin- stein of St. Louis is secretary of the committee. Great quantities of flour are being sent from the United States to feed the Belgians, many of whom are reported, to be in a starving condition. Walter 8. Dickey said yesterday that Kansas City had raised a fund of $100,- 000 with which flour had been bought to be sent to the war sufferers of the bel- ligerent nations. The railroads proba- bly “ill carry the supplies free to the sea \st. A ship will transport free of charge the contributions of the Mis- sourians to the war victims.

GLASMERE, Wash., Dec. 8.—Harry E. Carr of Leavenworth entered a crowded courtroom here yesterday, shot and killed C. D. Franklin, who was be- ing tried on a charge of an attack on a girl. One of the bullets which Carr fired missed its mark and killed J. C. Parsons, a juror. The jurors had been chosen and were in their places. Carr walked quietly into the courtroom and advancing to a point behind Franklin began firing with an automatic pistol. Twe bullets en- tered Franklin's body and a third bul- let pierced the chest of Parson, a rancher, who fell dead. Franklin lived 146 minutes. Carr surrendered to the Sheriff. His interest in the case was that Franklin was also to have been tried for an al- leged offense against Carr’s 10-year-old daughter. Previous to his arrest, Franklin had been superintendent of the Sunday schools of Leavenworth. He had a wife and five children, who were with him in the courtroom at the time of the shooting.

Disen of Min- neapolis ‘helds that a “deficiency of cal- clum” (lime) is responsible for the physical cenditions which lead to tuber- eulosis, “and the therapy he advocates rests on this basis.” . One of the reasons for the wide-spread success of Eckman’s Alterative in the treatment of tuberculosis and chronic throat and bronchial troubles is its abil- ity to supply this deficiency. It contains a lime salt in such form and so combined with other remedial agents as to be easily assimilated by the average person. There are on record many cases in which it seems to have ef- fected complete and lasting betterment. However, we make no exaggerated claims for Eckman’s Alterative. e pre- fer that _it be tried on the same basis one tries any other prescription. and we believe it will help, for IT HAS HELPED in many cases. It contains no opiates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs. Therefore, it is safe to take. f your druggist is out of it he will order. or you can get it direct. Eckman Laboratory. Philadelphia.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The greatness of the great State of Missourt cannot be estimated outside of the history of its largest city, the fourth city tn this great country. Our tens of thousands of bright, intelligent students of all grades have histories, readers, literature and the sciences, but the founding and early struggles and triumphs of this great city would be interesting reading to many of our people, young or old. The distinguished visitors from “over the seas’ and the royal reception ac- corded them: by St. Louis people would be most interesting reading to many a restless boy and girl whose spirit has been “set on fire” to know something. But how te get such events before them is not #0 easy to imagine. Skillful teachers can do much teward this by refreshing their own minds and de a little supplementary work in telling stories ef Jenny Lind’s reception in St. Louls and about Mr. Barnum, the great showman, who accom- panied her—hew the crowds on the river bank watched for the steamboat as it came around the island at the expected time. The founding of Washington University and how it came to be named “Washington University” would thrill nfany a high school pupil if it could be told to them by ene who loves the “upper levels” of educa- tion. Bven a partial knowledge of the men and women who have ‘made the city great would enable anyone to understand how such great achievements have been attained. Just at this time public instruction has a bet- ter “right of way” than in some former periods, and if even now the men of great scholarship whe have made things come to pass could be known it might stimulate many a “swain” to learn more about his own great State.

AMERICA STANDS FOR PEACE. On the question of our building great arma- ments President Wilson’s views so thoroughly coincide with those expressed by the Post-Dis- patch in connection with the Gardner resolution that we feel a special gratification for his clear and convincing exposition of the principles that should govern us and the position we should hold as the exponent of justice, good will and peace. Declaring for a strong efficient navy as our national bulwark against aggression, he opposes any movement toward creating an armed nation or yielding fo war scare and jingoism as an excuse for plunging into militarism. He ad- vises, however, measures for an efficient organi- zation of citizen soldiery and admirably sums up the American view in a paragraph. More than thig carries with it a reversal of the whole history and character of our pol- ity. More than this, proposed at this time, permit me to say, would mean merely that we had lost our self-possession, that we had been thrown off our balance by a war with which we have nothing to do, whose causes cannot touch us, whose very existence affords us op- portunities of friendship and disinterested service which should make us ashamed of any thought of hostility or fearful prepara- tion for trouble. This is assuredly the oppor- tunity for which a people and a government like ours were raised up, the opportunity not only to speak but actually to embody and exemplify the counsels of peace and amity and the lasting concord which is based on justice and fair anid generous dealing. The President’s vigorous recommendations of governmental provision for ocean transportation to seize opportunities for world trade; his plea for wise conservation coupled with encourage ment of the use of natural resources; his plea for a larger measure of self-government for the Philippines; his recommendation of legislation dealing with rural credits, and his urgent coun- sel in favor of economy complete a brief but comprehensive message. It is unfortunate that the message lacks prom- ise of measures to strengthen the antitrust laws which were rushed through in the recent ses- sion. , THE SANTO DOMINGO SCANDAL. Dollar diplomacy won no greater single victory during the Roosevelt administration than in the treaty of 1907 with Santo Domingo, by which the insular customs and public works were brought under the control of the Washington Government. The interests which effected this invasien of an independent State were those of money and ex- ploitation. The plan adopted was well devised to turn over to American interests through American politics great opportunities for privileged money- making amongst an alien people. The Wilson administration is not responsible for a situation so greatly subject to the domination of special groups of outside exploiters. But it can- not escape responsibility for any developments along this line under its own appointees. The President has wisely decided that the revelations made on another page of this issue in an article from the New York World shall be made a sub- “For the past fortnight we all have been living on American food, and it saved us from starvation. When our people became aware that food from America was actually in Liege they were almost frantic with joy. The Americans have saved us from starva- tion,” was the cry on every lip.“—Belgian Committeeman. The giving was a protest against war’s murder- ous brutality, an impulse to succor its victims, an evidence that America’s heart is warm, her judg- ment sound. The food ship carried the Master’s message and did His work. Europe's ruling castes may still despise America‘s youth and want of courtly polish; but Burope’s peoples will under- stand. = = ws i Mid THE DOOMED GERMAN OATS. News dispatches have told how all the cats in Germany have been doomed to death to provide furs to keep the soldiers in the trenches warm. It seems that catskins are a marketable commodity in times of peace. But the vastness of the pres- ent war has made a demand for them by whole- sale. And every German household is to lose its cat. The decree has gone forth: ‘“Pelis Ger- manica delenda est.” A great pity, if true. Many people set small store by the cat, and yet this little animal de serves some sympathy, for it is usually the chil- dren’s pet. Worshiped in ancient Egypt under the name Pasht, it has been a fireside fixture for countless centuries. New York just now has it on exhibition. The New York Sun remarks: Tomorrow the cat show. Dogs have a multitude of friends, but the more or legs reformed tigers, with “elastic and rebellious hair,” as Baudelaire sang, are perhaps the favorites of the poets. Graceful, epicurean, Bohemian, mysterious and splendid of eye, dainty of person, & passionate serenmder, a child of night, a watcher of the fire, flatter- ing and fickle, quick of anger, the cat is the familiar of bards. It has the poetic tempera- ment and is subject to fits. If Germany is really to lose all its cats, it may find itself in the condition told of in the nursery tale, and may have to call upon a modern Dick Whittington to exterminate a plague of rats and mice. =. i ie QUEER FIRE PROTECTION IDEA. A New York idea is that when flames break out on premises where the ordinary precautions against fire have been neglected, the owner shall be compelled to indemnify the Fire Department for all expense incurred in fighting the blase. Collection of the indemnity would seem to pre- sewt difficulties under the common law, but New York enforces the penalty by a simple suit at law, and in a recent case a $1500 verdict, returned against the owners of a building who had refused to install an automatic sprinkler apparatus, was [ lessness or neglect in some form. it might seem! that the Fire Department’s entire cost of main,.| }/S:4agim egy tenance could’be collected: from premises whi a ate eh 8 require the services of the department. Practic- ally, however, the amount recovered will be con- fined to property owners whose neglect has been by aes t flagrant. The possible maximum recovered will| Raber at acu bates Nt Ak 8 accordingly be small. Is it worth while? , BPN RO gn) eis hs tk a The idea is of value only as it furnishes in- centive to take reasonable precautions. If such incentive is not provided in the higher five insur- ance rates for poor risks, how can it be provided by penalties collected after the fire by the fire fighters? Up-to-date fire codes strictly enforced furnish the best protection. +> _ i MINIMUM WAGE FOR TEACHERS. The pay of 18,854 Missouri school teachers, in- cluding that of high-salaried city superintendents and principals, averages $554.35 a year. As few teachers have an opportunity to add to their earn- ings in‘ vacation time, the average for each of the 12 months is only $46.18, and the average for each of the 365 days is a little less than $1.52. A dollar and a half a day seems meager enough, but it must be remembered that the great ma- jority of rural teachers actually receive consid- erably less than that. Many of them get hardly $1 a day. While the average shows an increase of 10 cents a day during the past year, the fig- ures indicate clearly enough the difficulty of maintaining an efficient corps of instructors in country schools, The higher rewards in city schools and in occupations other than _ gchool work draw the good teachers away from the red schoolhouses along the country roads. As nearly half of the districts in the State now levy the full 65 cents per hundred of assessed valuation, which constitutes the limit of school taxation, revenue available for salaries will be increased with difficulty. Some salary increase in such districts might be rendered possible by approximating actual cash value a little closer in assessment. But probably no satisfactory read- justment in compensation will be practical until provision is made for enlarging the subsidy paid by the State for primary instruction. The total of these payments is less than $2,000,000 in Mis- souri, not half as much per capita as is paid by some other states, See a Gr oe aa Why should teachers not have the benefit of a minimum wage law? No state can consistently prescribe a minimum for private employers when it is paying thousands of its own women em- & oF “ae 7 - * a . e fF Ie ) eee (oe Lt’ BS ab ED? she ‘ r ~E 5 Maeda Se) ae GLI te ws aA «+ rd + > . a 2 Le Mae e " ys A tral? > , »* » 3 reery g* a g "5% 4 . 4 cs ae’ Fal iy . ? rm , > P ' , yo? iba * . i VAG r - d 4 iY rehe -¥ ry 1 =. 7 le tate d Dy, > ot Coe rs wig 397.48 bao iJ ‘ ae >) ’ ; ‘-, Di ery ian ad . -4 a é ; sain . dy 7% Da yt 5 , ‘ 7 me " ; %\ I>» > ae ‘ , ‘ 'g 4 KA, Uo We ys ste j val A %, pa. * Ny tae wy See Wy \ ?

The baby seemed pleased, and listened with open-mouthed wonder, while the big brother imitated the clatter of the// engine gong or the hoarse shouts of the firemen, and gazed with spectal delignt at Tim’s astonishing clfmb up an tmag- inary ladder as foreman of the Rescue Corps. Indeed, he was so much amused by this new game that he did not wince while Shingles tied one end of the clothesline around the tiny figure, puf- fing and blowing laboriously for tmag- inary smoke the while. Baby even thought tt great fun, until brother bore him over to the edge of the roof and be- gan to let him down, down—a tiny mor- sel of humanity dangling five stories above the pavements of Miggies’ alley. Then fun changed to fright, and baby set up a lusty howl. It was this scream that aroused Shingtes from his realistic play to the grim earnestness of the situ- ation. There wae no ladder waiting be- low; there were no brave comrades—only himself, a mite of WN, clutehing in his small hand the very end of the rope from which dangled the helpless figure of his tiny brother. Real fear gripped at the little fellow’s heart. Slowly, painfully, he began to pull in that endless length of line. Inch by inch he brought that tiny, swaying figure nearer to the housetop. Then suddenly a knot in the rope caught in the fron railing. Cold persp!- ration rolled down the little fellow’s cheeks.

Allen made his record run of 98, Pete says, in a match with Frank Karrow (Dago Frank), of Houston, Tex., just be- fore the Maturo clash. “This fellow Karrow breezed into Kan City and challenged Allen to a handicap match,”’ said Peter- son yesterday, “and it was in the final block that Allen made his reo- ord. I reached Kangas City in time to see the final play and Allen heeded 16 points to Karrow’s %. It looked bad for the champion, and as the block began I remarked that ‘now was the time for a record run.’ In the third inning Alien started on a run that sopees Only after he had pocketed 98 balls. He miased on a bre when he sewed himself up. The best previous record was 71, also held by Allen.’ } GAME, SNOOKERS, It’s Played With 21 Balls on an English -Table, of Which There’s but One in St. Louis. | “Hi say, ol’ chap, ’ave you ’ad a fling at snooker billiards?’’ If you haven’t, you simply don’t be- long. For snooker is the newest thing abroad in this burg, an importation fresh from the war zone and open to Germans and Turks as well as the allies. The good same of “snooker’’ is now being exploited at an Fighth street cue shop. C. Peterson ripped up a squad- ron of his regulation tables to make room for the first and only English table in St. Louis, a 6x12 affair that looks like an indoor tennis court. Originally it was Pete’s intention to play only English billiards, exemplifying the game as now being played by Hoppe and Inman, who will show here soon. But Pete’s enthusiasm got the better of his judgment and in a fit of careless- ness he introduced the game of snooker billiards (alias pool). To explain what like isn’t easy. No, Not Highballs. In the first place the game is played with 21 balls, beside the cue ball. Fif- teen of these balls are red, while there is one each of pink, blue, brown, yel- low, green and black tints. On the break you must not hit the apex ball, but must bank with english—it’s all a question of english—and ram the rack from the rear. Then the gag is to pock- et a red, then a color, alternating until the 15 red balls are put down. Each of the other colors are replaced until such time as the table is cleared of red ones. Then the colored balls are run off in order, they counting 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 points apiece. With the aid of a book of rules and a good tutor one should get a working knowledge of the game in a month or so, providing he applies himself. After that, the game is very interesting. The table, though, is so big that a 12-foot bridge must be used, requiring the as- sistance of an attendant who totes around the totem. pole. The table and the new game attract- ed a deal of attention its first day out, Monday. Because the table takes up the space ordinarily occupied by two American tables, a fee of 75 cents an hour is charged. Snooker billiards usu- ally is played as a foursome, an extra player being almost necessary to keep account of the enemy's fouls, which are called ‘‘snookers.’’ Combination shots are barred while there are numberless other rules which one cannot ‘“‘get’’ the first time out. Pete to Referee Hoppe Match. Charley Peterson has been selected to referee the George Slosson-Willie Hoppe championship 18.2 match on Jan. 5, in Min- neapolis. Pete was advised of this fact yes- terday by Hoppe, who is in Minneapolis on his way to the Pacific Coast. He will return two weeks in advance of his Slosson. this game is clash with Peterson will begin play soon in an open tourney to determine the possibilities of the new game of shooting with either cue ball, a gag designed to break up safety play and aad speed to three-cushion matches. In this game you choose your cue ball at the start of each inning and retain it until the inning is over. Your opponent may use the same cue ball if he so elects.

Team Outclassed 1914 Miners. By W. J. O’Connor. who saw Eddie Cochems’ St. Louis U. team of 1906-7 HOSE of you ! in action surely have etched upon your memory vivid pictures of the destructive powers of that, the greatest juggernaut, St. Louis ever has been. who had warmed up to the C. B. C. But opinions grow rusty, in time, and there were those eleven so thoroughly that Cochems’ machine was fast fading into oblivion; almost obscured by Grant Ward’s squad when along came Rolla. After the conceit had been extracted from the collegians’ thought towers, last Saturday, 2i—6, it became almost the unanimous opinion that those yaps from Rolla were about as good as anybody that ever donned a moleskin. But just about that time Dr. Eddie Murphy, who will be remembered as ‘‘Angel”’ .Mur- phy, the fielder leader of Cochems’ great grid destroyer, bobbed up. “Chloroform the idea that Rolla or Cc, B. C. could make things interesting for our 1906 or 1907 teams,”’ said Dr. Murphy Saturday afternoon at Sports- man’s Park. ‘‘Perish the thought, my boy, because our 1906 team could play Cc. B. GC. and Rolla on the same after- noon, two periods apiece and beat them both better than 20 points in one half. We could have smashed Rolla by 4 points. Let me enlighten vou on some points about that 186 team. That was a ma- chine, worthy of the name. These ma- chines you read about in St. Louls now- adays are cycle cars. They havn’t the plays or the players, although I do re- spect Rolla’s back field; neither have they the drive. In the Good Old Days. ‘“There’s nothing on the hoof in this section now that compares to. Bije French, that 230 pounds of iron that Cochems mined from Northwest Missou- ri. Every time I think of French I think of mountains, giants, redwoods and the Railway Excnange Building. Then there was Spuds Irwin, to my mind the greatest football player St. Louis ever saw, and thit includes Ack- er, Copley and French. “French was tremendous, but Irwin was the better player. He had an al- most weird ability to follow the ball and in three years I think he recovered more fumbles than any two men _ in Missouri. Here's another thing I never saw in print: “Cochems lined us all up for a 10- yard dash one afternoon at Sportsman's Park. There was such alleged speed merchants as Robinson, Kenney and myself, but when the bets were cashed Irwin flashed first, Robinson second and Bije French third. It was a race for blood, too. ‘Now, just. consider what two such men as Irwin and Frenqh meant to a team. Then, they were flanked by Pig- gy Lamb and Jack Kinney, both sea- soned, shrewd and powerful players. Lamb was a wonder for turning in a play. Lamb and Kinney were such strong guards that Orr, the chubby cen- ter, didn’t have a thing to do all sea- s0n. ‘‘We might not have had the best ends in the world because Pike Kenney and Archie Lowe were not speed merchants, but they were big, both 179 pounds. They tackled sure. And Then There Was Acker. “Behind the line were Acker, of whom I need not speak; Schneider and Robin- son. Those fellows knew football and although our squad totaled only 14, we never needed help. Any time a substi- tution was made it was merely an ex- periment. ‘“Cochems was a wonder, almost a freak. I remember well that he sent me into the Nebraska game with 78 dis- tinct plays and instruction to use eveiy one of them in emergency. After we had walloped Nebraska he stated in the papers that the result was pleas- ing, but I ‘had overlooked a few good plays.’ “Cochems often would come to my room at 2 a. m. and rehearse plays be- fore a big game. He would put zeros and X’s on a piece of paper to illustrate a play and then stop suddenly and ex- claim: ‘Why, here’s another one we can use.’ The next afternoon we would work on a new formation that came to him at 2 o’clock that morning. “T have seen it written that we made up some of our plays on the field. That’s another joke, because we couldn’t con- ceive a formation that Cochems hadn't worked out before. “He had a series of plays to use in- side our 20-yard line, another series for midfield and another series in the other fellow’s territory. And wve unto me if we worked the wrong one. “Take the game between Rolla and Cc. B. Cc. I saw the C. B. C. tcam for- feit the ball on downs in their own ter- ritory. I saw Rolla try a furward pass near its own goal and C. B. C. attempt a double delayed pass in ‘ts own terri- tory, a play that caused tie rall to be passed several yards benind the line. “That wouldn't go for “ocasms. If we were in our own territoyy he never wanted a long backward pass—they had to be short so that we couiun't lose ground on a bad pass or a slip-up uf any kind. “T haven’t seen any plays ‘tke Co- chems eyolved or any passing like Schneider and Robinson «ou'd or any tackles like Irwin and French. I haven't seen in St. Louis a.foutbal) team in six years that could hold our 1906 team to better than 20 points, not even Syracuse or Carlisle. Thet was team, even though it didn't attain its best condition until the finiul game, Of course, I base my comparisons .n the strength of the team at its best. Co- chems could have achieved greater things had he had a trainer to get the men in shape. “But let’s quit comparing teams with that 1906 machine until another really great machine comes along; let these one-lung cycle cars rest.

The deal has not yet been closed, but Ban Johnson, president of the American League, is endeavoring to put it through. The presence of President Ban Johnson in New York it became known today is due chiefly to his destre to see the sale effected. Mr. Ruppert is out of town. At his office it was said this afternoon that he was in the West and was not ex- pected back for probably two weeks more. He has been absent since last Thursday. League to Consider Sale. The proposed transfer of the club will né placed before an informal meeting of the American League, it Was report- ed, which will be held in this city next Friday. It was said that this meeting would be held whether the deal was consummated then or not. The League has to take action as a whole on any transfer of any of its clubs. Mr. Johnson declined this afternoon to comment on the situation. He refused to say whether the report were true or not. “T will say, however, that we have not approached Mr. Ruppert on a proposition of this kind,’’ was his only_commegt.
