A prominent member of the Gien Echo Country Club, who has been active in working with the club’s officers to de- vise a means of tiding the organization over its financial difficulties, told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that he be- Neves the club will pass out of ex- igtence when its property is sold out for debt next week. A $66,000 issue of the club’s bonds is about to mature and interest and other obligations bring the total in- debtedness to $85,210. Some of the officers and members have hoped that sufficient funds might be raised by subscription to buy in the property and continue the opera- tion of the club. Lite Membership to Be Void. According to the Post-Dispatch’s in- formant, the plan which probably will be adopted will be to permit the Glen ‘Echo to be sold under foreclosure and then organize an entirely new club. Whether members holding what are known as “life memberships’ would have the right to be taken into the new club without being required to pay initiation fees or dues, has been a much discussed question in the last few days.

France Has Provided Chicken and Wine for d Firing Line — Gifts By Associated Presa. PARIB, Dec. 2.—Christmas at the front will be as cheerful as the love and self-denial of well-nigh every family in France can make it. The spirit of those at home is not to give presents to one another, but to unite and «ive all to the son, father or brother serving with the flag. Many a family in France probably will dine meagerly tonight and tomorrow because of the packages of soft woolen things and boxes of delicacies which have gone to the kinsmen at the front. Then there are field glasses, wrist watches, sleeping bags and an amazing variety of campaign conveniences. The military administration has been most considerate in providing transport so that all this month vans loaded with supply trains back of the army. Champagne for Soldiers. Many a lone soldier without family has received various packages of things to eat, wear, smoke or drink from so- cieties and from the Government. The Ministry of War, among other things, is sending a bottle of champagne for every four soldiers ar the front. All the plum puddings in the shops of Paris have been taken by the French military to send to the British soldiers. The Belgian refugees, especially the children, are being so overfed that the committees in charge of them have postponed by agreement various dinners and entertainments so as to extend them over the next 10 days. King Albert of Belgium has sent a box of 5 cigars to each of the Belgian soldiers. All the hospitals have arranged concerts, reci- tations and stereopticon shows for con- valescing soldiers. The American am- bulance is bright with holly and mistle- toe. Mme. Poincare, wife of the President holiday packages were among the long of France, has sent 3000 packages of toys, candy and clothing to 3000 Alsace- Lorraine children who live in the terri- tories reconquered by France. Gifts for Prisoners of War. The French Government is delivering great quantities of packages from Ger- many to prisoners of war. For the most part they are useful things, like blan- kets, underwear and woolen socks. Simi- lar deliveries, it is understood, will be made by the German authorities to French prisoners. Feasts Behind Firing Line.. While the men actually in the trenches will have to maintain the same strained alertness that they observe every day, and while there doubtless will be fierce lighting at certain points on the front, yet from 1590 to 2000 yards back of the infantry firing line arrangements have been made for plenty of jollity, which will include a chicken dinner and cham- yagne to drink with it. New Year’s day is a greater holiday in France than is Christmas, and if the military situation permits it, Gen. Jof- fre, the French Commander-in-Chief, will give orders that the soldiers serving in the trenches tomorrow will not have to be there on the first day of the new year. Where the French and German trenches are close together, there may be brief unofficial truces by common agreement for short periods of time. these understandings have not been un- known on other days, and they may be more frequent on Christmas day. It is likely that at midnight open air masses will be celebrated at many places back of the lines. In Paris the gay midnight supper party will not be seen; instead, the peo- ple will be in church at midnight mass. Never in the memory of the city have the churches been so full. Nowadays at every service, early or late, the sacred edifices are crowded. PRESIDENT TO BE 5 GRANONIECE Giant Christmas Tree Has Been Put Up in White House for Anne Cothran, 7 Years Old. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. — Anne Cothran will arrive at the White House today for Christmas. Anne is only a little girl, but her aavent has caused the biggest commotion at the White House for many days. She is President Wilson's grandniece. She lives in Phil- mas in her own home. But when Presi- dent Wilson went shopping the other day and saw crowds of little children with their mothers he decided that the White House was a pretty lonesome place just now. Then he thought of Anne. The President decided that Anne wes the person needed at the White House to make a real Christmas. So he wrote Anne’s mother to bundle her up, any to forget all the plans she had made for Christmas at home, because he wanted to be Anne’s Santa Claus, and he want- ed her to lend her presence to the White House on Christmas day. There'll be a giant Christmas tree for Anne, and there will -be whole families of dolls sitting about the White House for her amusement. White House employes to. the num- ber of 1% each received from the Presi- dent a 15-pound turkey as a Christmas gift. The distribution is a long-estab- lished custom. At the Capitol plans had been completed for a community Christmas celebration there tonight. President Wilson went golfing today despite a heavy snowstorm, and took an euto load of presents to children living slong the road to the golf club. With the exception of Secretary Garrison, who will spend Christmas at Atlantic City, all the members of the Cabinet will be here tomorrow.

York World. LONDON, Dec. 24.—An interview with Secretary of State Bryan obtained by the Rev. D. MacFadyen at Northfield, Mass., Dec. 7, is prominently featured in the Westminster Gazette this evening. It relates particularly to the Belgian aspect of the war and the work of the Rev. Mr. MacFadyen in the Belgian be- half. The writer describes Bryan as one of the most discussed men in the United States. It is explained that his critics and political opponents say he is a sen- timentalist and speechmaker, but his friends and admirers say that he is one of America’s unrecognized great men, a great Democrat, an idealist and a cham- pion of the people’s cause, second to none.”’ By way of further explanation, che writer asserts: They say that it was nis generosity that made Mr. Wilson President and that he ought to have the next Democratic nomination.” ‘ The Rev. Mr. MacFadyeén added that when the interview was obtained Bryan ¥ as sympathetic but rather deeply con- scious of the restraint of his office.“ Restraint Is Necessary. Special The interviewer quotes Secretary Bryan as follows: „Much as we may sympathize with your cause, and anxious as we are to do what we can to relieve the distress of the Belgians, we must do nothing and say nothing which can be construed into a violation of our attitude of political neutrality. The man in the street may speak as he feels, but neither Presi- dent Wilson nor myself could make any statement which might arouse the feel- ing that we were favoring any one na- tion of those now at war. “Our immigration laws were, of course, not framed for such an emer- gency as this, but if President Wilson were to promise any relaxation in favor or the Belgians the effect would prob- ably be to produce immediate opposition. People here are very independent. Ev- ery one says and does as he thinks best in Congress. “The real master of the situation is Congress.. If our immigration laws are to be modified, Congress must do it, and if approached through their chairmen of their own committees probably Congress and the Senate would agree in a case which is so fully supported by public sentiment as this. President in Sympathy With Plan. Mr. Wilson has already expressed his sympathy with your plan of bringing Belgian agriculturists to the United States. They should be welcomed here as a valuable addition to our citizens. The qualities of the Belgian gardener and farmer would be certain to secure success here if they get on to the right kind of soils, which are not so prolific as they were. “They must come to a definite settle- ment somewhere and not as paupers or as stray seekers of work adding to the slum population of our great cities where already we have a vast popula- tion of foreign immigrants whom we find it hard to assimilate. Our difficulty in a case of this kind is that we have so many nations represented in the states that they are very jealous. “Your case in England is different. Bel- gium was an ally, and everyone wanted to do something to show appreciation of the heroic defense of Liege. English hospitality was a payment of a debt of honor. But if we were to do heré what tions injured by the war would at once say, ‘Why not for us, too?’ “It is doubtful whether we could take any governmental action at all without calling out that sentiment. Glad to See Help Given. “On the other bd. we are glad to see everything done that can be done by private individuals or corporations, and we shall facilitate it in every way we can consistent with our political neutrality. But our action must be philanthropic, rather than political, and it must sot be represented as expressing indignation at what Germahy has done. However we may think or feel on that point, there are many .Germans in the United States who still justify everything Ger- many has done in Belgium. “Yes, the tribute to our American Am- bassadors and Consuls is Well deserved. They have come out well in the emer- gency. Perhaps an emergency like this is better suited to the geulus of Amer- icans than ordinary processes of diplo- macy. Our people have less experience in red tape and more initiative than most of those who take up the work of dipiomacy.”’ GIRL IN WINDOW FALLS 25 FEET Leses Balance When Wasbing Panes; Avm Is Fractured. Viola Foellsing, 17 years old, of 2707 Cherokee street, was washing a second-story window this morning atf the residence of her sister, Mrs. Lil- lian Lawrence at 3345 Ohio avenue, when she lost her balance and fell about 25 feet to the sidewalk.

MOTORMAN OUT ON BOND One Man at Inquest Says Wellston Driver Said He Was Behind Time. At the Coroner’s inquest today into the death of Miss Helen Mulrooney, 17 years old, of 1365 North Euclid avenue, who was struck by an eastbound Wellston car as it dashed by a waiting group of prospective passengers at Easton and Iuclid avenues yesterday noon, the wit- nesses agreed as to the main facts of the fatality. They testified that the car was run- ning at high speed, 2 or % miles an hour; that it passed persons waiting at other crossings before reaching Euclid avenue, and that after the accident the — p — EDITION — Girl Killed by Car That : Didn’t Stop at Crossing you have done in England other na- next crossing. sengers are waiting. the witnesses, said he was behind time. -The motorman, Thomas Baker, the accident, and is under bond.

He ran the car past waiting per- sons for three blocks, the policeman said, and he saw the young woman when the car was 20 or 235 feet from her. She was not looking toward the car, he said. He said he believed she must have slipped as she crossed the track. The motorman tapped the bell and threw on the air, the policeman said, but the car was running 20 to & miles an hour and was not stopped un- next street. Patrolman Hake, who questioned the motorman after the accident, said Ba- ker told him he was “picking up space,.“ and that he was running the car 80 faust that he could not stop it. Guy G. Lewis of 7040 Dale avenue, who was on the front seat, said the motor- man, instead of slowing, put on more apeed as he approached Euclid avenue. The young woman was walking very rapidly, he said, and he thought she would succeed in getting across ahead of the car. Called, “Watch Out!” William Thies, a bread wagon driv- er, testified that he saw Miss Mulroo- rey run across the track when the car was approaching at high speed. Jacob Coe, who was in a wagon across the street, said the car whirled the young woman around as it struck her, and then threw her in the air. It seemed to him, he said, that an attempt was made to stop the car, but its speed was so great that this was impossible. John S. Curtin of 1455 Arlington ave- nue, who was on the car, said waiting persons were passed at King’s highway and Aubert avenues, and that the mo- torman increased speed on. nearing Eu- clid avenue. J yelled ‘Watch out!’ he said, “when I saw the girl, but I don’t know wheth- er the motorman heard me.“ The girl was not looking toward the car. Emil Sacks of 1232A North Euclid avenue was one of those waiting to take the car. He told the same story as other witnesses, except that he said the car slowed in the middle of the block approaching Euclid, but increased speed as it neared Euclid. Sergt. Crone, in an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter before the inquest, told of questioning the mo- torman after the accident. When he asked the motorman why he did not stop at the corner, he said, he got no answer. When he asked whether the motorman had intended to stop, the motorman said he had not. The car was not crowded, Crone said. He declared that if the car had made the required stop at the corner, the young woman would have had plenty of time to pass in front of the car and make her way to the rear en- .trance to get aboard. 100 Old Coins Taken by Beragilars.

It remains for Judge Hogan of the Municipal Poliee Court to find out who struck Policeman Edward (‘‘Kink’’) Con- nell at the Hotel Jefferson last night, whd it was that Connell struck and who it was that was taken to the city dispensary and locked up in the inebriate ward and released on bond something like three hours later. When Dr. Wagner questioned the man at the dispensary he said he was Rob- ert W. Fullerton, 32, married, occupation lumberman, residing at 4542 Forest Park boulevard. The doctor sent him to the inébriate ward. Joseph Schuler, saloon keeper, who he. knew Fullerton, that he recognized the man he bailed out as Fullerton, that he took him in his own automobile to Fullerton’s home at 442 Forest Park boulevard and that. Fullerton promised him, as he entered the house, -that he would go directly to bed. But Fullerton, when a Post-Dispatch reporter saw him at his home this morning, said he was not at the Hotel Jefferson last night, did not strike Con- nell, was not struck by Connell, did not acquire contusions of the lip and nose. was not taken to the city dispensary, was. not locked in the inebriate ward and was not bailed out. He added, fur- thermore, that he hoped he had better judgment than to pick on Connell for a fight when there were so many small- er men available. The man who was bailed out was due in the Municipal Police Court today. He did not appear. The case against Ful- lerton“ was continued at the request of a friend. Fullerton, the lumberman, said he had no intention of going to court, because he had nothing to go to court for, but if anybody wanted him he would be at his office. The trouble at the Jefferson was at 7:30 p. m. Connéll saw a man trying to climb into an automobile and not doing very well at it. He lent a hand and got a black eye and a punch in the jaw for his pains. By that time the man was nearly In the auto and he aimed a kick at Connell. Connell pulled him out and hit him a blow on his nose and lip and then took him to the dispensary. Schuler says that when he took Ful- lertor home there was a mark on his nose and his lips were puffed. The man who spoke to a Post-Dispatch re- porter had a nose and lips that were free from contusions. The only explanation this Fullerton could suggest was that some friend of his had played a mighty poor prac- ae joke on him balled him out. told reporters today that |~ JOHN MUIR. NOTED.

In the district of Skierniewice alone we counted more than a 1000 German dead. “The success of these operations was due chiefly to our ‘automobile teries.’’ Russian troops in the neighborhood of Tuchow, Galicia, south of Tarnow, on observing the advance of the Twenty- sixth Austrian Brigade slipped past on parallel roads yesterday and surprised the Austrian rear, according to reports received here.

The Novoe Vremxya's correspondent in the Sochaczew neighborhood, Russian Poland, reports that along a 12-mile front the Russians have packed four regiments of heavy artillery, 150 light e guns and three corps of infantry.

In furtherance of the hire-a-man“ movement proposed by Mayor Kiel to members of the Business Men’s League, letters were sent today to every mem- ber of the league signed jointly by the Mayor and Sam D. Capen, the presi- dent, urging employers of labor in the city to see if they cannot find room for at least one more man in their establishments. Secretary Saunders of the league said many of the letters would not be de- livered until this afternoon and that it is too early to make any forecast of what effect the letters will have. The letter follows: “To the Members of the Business Men's League of St. Louis: In St. Louis, as in the other great cities of this country, the unemployed workers are suffering most keenly as the winter grows more severe. The distress here may be lightened greatly, if the work that is being done by a large number of people and wages paid for the work is distributed among a large number of families. We ask that the members of The Business Men's League bear this in mind in the management of their fac- tories, their offices, and their business generally. If 200 men working half time will satisfy your business de- mands, could you not employ them,“ rather than 1000 men working full time? It is better for 2000 families to be living on halp pay, than for:1000 families to be living on full pay and the other 1000 families to be destitute. „Wherever business will at all justify, we hope that you will give employment to one more person, keeping in mind that the man of family who is a resi- dent of St. Louls—in other words, the man temporarily out of employment— should have preference.

H. Harris in Maplewood. When Harris returned to his residence about 9 p. m., after visiting friends, he found the house in flames, Allen said he ‘had not even struck a match in the house, but had noticed the place was exceedingly hot, as if the furnace was overheated. Two members of the “gun squad)’ found Allen at the corner of Jefferson and Lawton avenues about 11 p. m. They searched him and found a loaded revolver and 18 pieces of silverware, to- gether with some cheap jewelry. Allen said he noticed only one light was burning in the Harris residence and after knocking at the door and recelv- ing no response, he jimmied a back win- dow. Allen last February was sentenced to one year in the workhouse for robbing a house in Southampton. He was pa- roled by Judge Hennings after two days upon the plea of Dr. H. N. Spen- cer, in whose house Allen had been but- ler about a year. — 1 — Present—a genu- tis Bros. & Co. the Nation- floor, 308 N. 6th st. THE IDEAL ine diamond.

Hammer Case Pending Trial of Di- vorce Action. Circuit Judge Grimm today made an order in the divorce suit of Otto W. Hammer, a lawyer, against Cornelia F. Hammer, respecting custody of their child, Margaret Anna, 2 years old, pending trial of the divorce case. Mrs. Hammer, who took the baby and went to Chicago with relatives after she and her husband separated, July 13 last, is. directed to keep the child in the juris- diction of the local courts. Hammer is directed to pay $75 a month for their support. He is to have custody on Wednesday and Saturday of each week. Mrs. Hammer came to St. Louis a week ago and is staying at the Maryland Hotel. She and het husband lived at 3835 Humphrey street. Mrs. Hammer is to have the little girl with her Christmas day. The Court said it would be a good idea if the pa- rents spent the day together with her. The couple were married June 23, 1910, in Kansas City. The husband filed suit for divorce on Thursday, alleging that his wife had left him and taken the ehild. She replied to the suit with a crossbill. Mrs. Hammer told the Court that they had not gotten along amica- bly from the time of their marriage. In response to questions by her hus- band’s lawyer, she said that the night she was married to him she made up her mind they could not agree and that some time she would have to divorce him. She explained that, on that night, he took offense at something and be- rated her. “I was shocked to the bot- tom of my soul,” she said. The lawyer inquired if she had not written her husband affectionate letters since their separation. She said she would not use the term affectionate. “They were nothing but dutiful letters,“ she added. SALESMAN FOUND SLAIN: $2000 IN JEWELRY GONE WAKEFIELD, Mass., Dec. 4.—The body of Maurice A.

By Associated Press. LODZ, Russian Poland, Monday, Dec. 21 (by automobile courier to Posen, Prus- sia, Dec. 23; London, Dec. 24).—The cap- ture of Lodz, according to a declaratior made today by Field Marshal von Hin- denburg, the German commander, to a correspondent of the Associated Press. was the turning point of the campaign in Poland. The Russian lines in Northern Poland rested on this city, for the possession of which there occurred the bitterest After the Russians, following a most obstinate resistance on their part, were forced to evacuate the town, a general Russian retirement in the direction of Warsaw became necessary. Scene of Brilliant Exploit. Under guidance of Maj. von Holleben, a cousin of the late Baron von Holle- ben, who was at one time German Am- bassador to the United States, the As- sociated Press correspondent today visited some of the battlefields in the vicinity of Lodz and gained an idea of the nature of the operations which led to the capture of the city. According to the general alignment of the Austro-German forces, they might have been expected to advance from the west. As a matter of fact, the at- tack was made largely from the north and northwest. They drove their col- umns into the Russians in the form of a huge pitchfork, with another large force between tines of the fork. It looked for a time as if the Rus- sians would be forced. to retreat—if re- eat were at all possible in the face of the gigantic enveloping movements by the Germans—in the direction of their Warsaw base. The intention was to drive the Rus- sians into the arms of large Austro- German forces massed to cut off their retreat, but the timely arrival of Rus- sian reserves from Warsaw resulted in the breaking of the easternmost line of the fork, relieving the situation for the Russians. In one of the operations around Lodz occurred the celebrated cutting off’’ of two German corps, which, after being surrounded by the rapid advance of the Warsaw reserves, turned and cut their way out and brought with them 12,000 of their would-be captors. The scene of this exploit, which a member of the general staff characterized as one of the most brilliant of the war, was Strykow, 10 miles to the northeast of Lodz. About the same distance west of Lodz is the little church yard of Beschici, where the Russians, in one of the final phases of the struggle for Lodz, showed that, 'in spite of their defeats and dis- couragements, they knew how to fight and die. This churchyard lies on a small eminence which formed a salient into the German lines. “In the east we have assumed the offensive and are advancing from Neid- enburg and Soldau (in East Prussia). We have repulsed the Russians after several days’ fighting at Mlawa (North- ern Poland) and the enemy’s positions at Mlawa again are in our hands. More than 1000 prisoners were taken in these battles. “At the confluence of the Bzura and Rawka rivers fierce bayonet attacks took place at many places. The artil- lery could do little on account of the misty weather. “The Russians suffered heavy losses on the right bank of the Pilica river in the district to the southeast of Tomas- zow. The Russians aftacked fiercely several times, but were repulsed by the Austro-German armies with heavy losses. “Further to the south the situation generally is unchanged.”’ The Germans were able to make an at- tack from three sides with infantry and artillery. All the Russian trenches were enfiladed by shrapnel from one direction or another, but the Russians clung to their positions obstinately. When the Germans finally captured the trenches 878 Russian corpses were found in a space of about 80 square yards. It was resistance of this nature which the Ger- mans had to overcome to rapture Lodz. The Russians are again offering obstinate resistance, as was learned today from German staff officers, along the Bzura and the Rawka riv- ers on their positions running north and south along a line 30 to $5 miles west of Warsaw. Prussian “Anprall” Appalling. A captured Russian officer who speaks German said that what im- pressed him and his men most was the Prussian “Anprall”—the silent advance of the German troops, the assault by line after line of dark figures moving toward the Russian position like wavelets of a rising tide, in utter heedlessness of the Russian fire. They saw men fall, but the gaps were filled up instantly by others from the rear line and the advance kept on. All this gave the effect of something irresistible, the Russian officer said. To see the silent lines of Germans come on and on, despite all their efforts, tried them terribly, causing nerves to snap. The Russian evacuation of Lodz was effected so quietly and was Covered 80 well that the Germans did not learn of it until the next morning, when they found that the Russian troops had dis- appeared. The usual German pight patrols had been sent out to keep in contact with the enemy, but the Rus- mans threw 4 thin, but impenetrable, screen before their front. Major Holle- ben’s battalion lost four of its most capable patrol leaders. German officers say that volley firing is still customary with the Russians, whereas the Germans have eliminated it in favor of individual firing. A large part of the population is busy- ing itself in the German trenches gal- vaging the wood which the Germans used for constructing their defenses. Heavy fighting occurred at the town of Konstantinow, 10 miles west of Lods.

NEW YORK, Dec. 244.—Had the Buro- pean war not interfered, there would be- gin tonight in Ghent, Flanders, a cele- bration of the one hundredth anniver- gary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent by representatives of the United States and Great Britain. The Burgo- master of Ghent was to have tendered a banquet to 50 American, 50 English and 50 Canadian delegates in the hall where the treaty was signed. Later, Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral home of George Washington in England. was to have been presented to the Amer- ican people by the British Peace Cen- tenary Committee. The home already has been purchased. It probably will be rehabilitated and presented later. Hundred Years of Peace. Believing that, despite the war, the anniversary should not pass unobserved in the United States, a number of widely known citizens of this country who are interested in the movement have issued a communication asking that the day be remembered and celebrated at speci- fied dates beginning Feb. 14. The com- munication follows: “One hundred years ago today there was signed at Ghent, in Flanders, the treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States, which marked the close of wnat has happily proved to be the last war between English-speak- ing peoples of the earth. Today the city of Ghent is at the very center of the terrible conflict that rages in Europe. „The American Peace Centenary Com- mittee cannot permit this anniversary to pass without inviting the thoughtful attention of their fellow citizens to the contrast presented by the century-long period of peace which English-speaking peoples have enjoyed among themselves on the one hand, and the appalling de- struction of life, property and great monuments of civilization which the Eu- ropean war involves on the other. It had been our confident hope that the example which the English-speaking peo- ples have set in their relations with each other would be followed by the other great nations of the earth in their several international relations. It had been our earnest desire that the spirit of peaceful and friendly co-operation which each of these peoples manifests toward the people of the United States would also mark their dealings with cne another. Unfortunately this was not to be, and we are sorrowfully called upon to mark our centenary celebration in the midst of the most terrible and de- structive war that history records. Undefended Boundary a Link. “Even at such a time we must avow once more our emphatic faith in the su- premacy of justice over force, of law over might. We rejoice in the peaceful relations of a hundred years among all English-speaking peoples, and particular- ly in the undefended and unfortified line of nearly 4000 miles in length, which di- vides the territory of the United States from that of the Dominion of Canada. The mutual trust, forbearance and help- fulness which make that undefended boundary a link and not a barrier be- tween two peoples, we offer as an ex- ample to our warring brothers across the sea.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. George W. After six vears of darkness, Walton road, in Midland Heights, St. Louis County, fs going to have light. To Miss Olive Campbell. belongs the credit for achieving what the men of Walton road have falle to do. The assurance that the road is to be lighted is Miss Camp- bell’s Christmas present to the com- munity. It represents a month’s efforts in getting the neighbors in line and ob- taining their subscriptions for the lights. The four blocks nearest the Creve Coeur line are to be lighted. Twelve families will be benefited. The fund raised by Miss Campbell is to pay the light bills for a year. After that she hopes that the men will see the lights are kept burning. For six years the residents have been talking about getting lights. Several times attempts were made to raise the necessary amount, but they failed. Miss Campbell, who is a stenographer em- ployed in Clayton, kept at it until the money was raised, and yesterday she went to the office of the Electric Com- pany of Missouri and paid over the money and the contract was signed. Officials of the company learned then that the O0. Campbell’’ who had been corresponding with them about it and who had been addressed by them as “Dear Sir’’ in their answers was a young woman. Miss Campbell had seen fit to carry on the negotiations under the name of O. Campbell, Tearing that the officials would not have confidence in her project if they knew she was a young woman. NEW YORK, 24.—Col. Goethals, Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, who with Mrs. Goethals arrived yesterday from Cristobal on the steamship Panama to spend Christmas with their son, an instructor at West Point, said this would be his first Christ- mas in the States since 1906. The Colonel will appear before the Committee on Appropriations at Wash.. ington to ask for an additional appro-. priation of $10,000,000 from Congress to complete the canal. “We need dry docks, barracks, ma- chine shops and necessary wharves for handling ships and canal work.“ he ald. This sum will be sufficient.“ As for the slides in the canal, he said that Gold Hill appeared to be settling. He thought it might be necessary for the dredges to work possibly another year in the big cut. The canal is doing very satisfactory work, he said. Ships go through in eight hours and are put through three locks in 55 minutes. “The number of men now employed is 25,000,“ Col. Goethals said. ‘‘When some of the construction work is com- rleted the force will be cut to 7000. I estimate that the cost of operating the canal a year will be $5,000,000. There is no question about the canal being self- sustaining, even with the present show- ing. There will be a tremendous busi- ness at the close of the war. “We have had some trouble with liquor. I personally believe in the can- teen, but we cannot have it under the luw. The men go into Panama and Colon and bring back liquor into the zone. Whenever it is necessary to dis- charge men, the drinking man is the first to go.“ Col. Goethals said the armament of the canal was practically complete. Dec. 511 ro 515 WASHINGTON AVE. AND 619 62!

Next morning he took n coat he found in the school and boarded a stret car for Granite City. On the car, he said, were two East Side police officers.

SECOND BIG GOLD STRIKE MADE IN COLORADO MINE New Found Pocket Expected to Pro- duce £10,000 qo $25,000 to the Ton. DENVER, Colo., Dec. %-—A second strike, ‘which is believed to eclipse the richness of the ore uncovered recently in the treasure cave at the 1200-foot level, was reported today from the Cres- son Mine at Cripple Creek in the 1300- foot level. Ten thousand to $25,000 a ton is the estimated value of the ore con- tained in the richest portion of the sec- ond strike. This ore lies in a narrow streak through an ore chute running from 15 to 80 feet wide. The formation of this second strike is practically identical with that found in the _ pear-shaped treasure chamber 100 feet above. The filling consists of myriads. of brec- cia and sylvanite crystals, richly laden with gold. The ore, for the most part, can be mined with a pick, without blast- ing. and in some instances is so soft that pit can be crumbled dy hand. wae * — — — — QU BOSS WANTS UNE DIDELPHOID IN HIS STOCKING Didelphoid?

Parts of this statement were: ; “Business, I am sorry to say, is very dull east of the Alleghenies, but possibly no more so than in the South and West. Sentiment is better than three months ago, and in spots business is better, but it is a question how rapidly the country can get back to 100 per cent activity. The railroads have suffered more than other forms of business in the re- adjustment, due to the tariff and other laws, and the world-wide . dislocation caused by the war. They are not receiv- ing enough nourishment either from the volume of business transacted, or from the prices and rates charged, to enable them to prepare for furnishing the transportation that the United States will need when the country gets to go- ing ahead at full steam.” .

To. the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In keeping with Christmas charities, what do ou think of this: ive the men in the trenches a smoke.” Would you stop for a moment to share a cigar or cigarette with one of the ‘poor devils who are celebrating their Christmas in the trenches of Wuropean battlefields? Would you pass the “makin’s” to an English Tommy or a stolid-faced German infantryman if vou could reach his powder-smirched hands? o would most every other man who knows the caress of the weed. Most of us would find the Swatting to die easier with our pipe than without. Then listen! You are in a position to make ble the sharing of a Christmas smoke with fellows over there. Don't you believe that the St. Louis women’ who stood on the street _ eorners and in the corridors of office buildings for the hospital charities collections would do the same thing again. Some few of them would see to it that a box was placed on the counter of every cigar stand in the city, labeled “A cigar or ciga- rette dropped into this carton will give a few happier moments to some soldier.” That would take about 600 boxes. Someone else would get the United Rallways to carry a poster on the street cars advertising the movement. Others would collect the cartons the day after Christmas in their Iimousines. It would not be hard to find a room suitable for a packing and shipping depot. The gira would givé a day to collecting a smoke from every man who came into the office build- . ings. Some express company would forward the aggregate to the Rockefeller bunch and they'd distribute to the soldiers. The collections could be fifty-fiftied—Germans and allies. If we can believe the press, tobacco is the most desired by the men who are fighting. What do you think of this? What society leaders am promise it? 1 b peg ; A People’s League Prediction. ee mattor of the Post-Dispatch. 7 I desire to make a prediction and call your at- tention therto.

Now it defiantly seeks to have the same 1(-cent rate sanctioned on local cars that shuttle between the two sides of the river. While the line comes into the city by such a route as to make the ride between the two cities comparable in length to rides for which only 6 cents is charged on United Railways lines, the vital element in the situation is the facilities furnished for crossing the Mississippi. Until the completion of the free bridge, the increase would make it impossible to get across for less than the exorbitant charge over the Hads Bridge. To give official countenance to the increase would make a joyous vindication for Hads monopoly. °- If authorized, to compensate for lessened traf- fic due to abnormal war conditions, we may be sure that the increased fares would be reduced a numerous from those able to give little. only with the. greatest reluctance and after wastage in public effort and energy that would better be devoted to other things. It is a most unseasonable request at this time, when all bridge arbitraries are about®to be abolished. In the matter of freer communication between the two sides of the river, St. Louis should go forward, not back. The McKinley lines cannot do better than fol- low the example of the Laclede Gas Co. and hastily withdraw the request before the un- favorable impression made on the public becomes permanent.

Our heart bleeds for “Vinegar Bill.“ The fact that he’s an ex-convict and accused of a pretty mean thing doesn’t seem to alter our feelings. We have to admit we're a little bit ashamed of sympathizing with him before waiting to find out whether he’s. innocent or guilty of the thing they’re holding him for. : It is this. Not long ago somebody entered a house on California avenue, tried to rob the lady of the house; roughly handled her and pushed her down the cellar steps. Nothing could be meaner, except possibly the manner in which “Vinegar Bill’ was caught by the police. Yet we are not primarily condemning the police, nor would we stand in the way of “Vinegar Bill’s” Just punishment if he is guilty. We are merely expressing a perverted, incontrollable sympathy for poor old Bill and apologizing for it in the same breath—just as you would feel like &polo- gizing if you sympathized with the villain in a play. They enaaht poor old bad Bill (we call him bad to square ourself with the reader, and be- cause an ex-convict is presumed to be bad)— they caught him through a love-letter and a tele- phone message to the young woman of his dreams. When we read of the things policemen have to do sometimes it makes us glad we're not a policeman. Probably when a policeman picks up a paper sometimes he feels glad he isn’t an editor. Here’s what they did to “Vinegar Bill”— heaven help them all, including the young woman of his dreams and the telephone girls who assisted! They, the police, obtained a letter Rill had written the young woman saying he would call her up at 9:30 in the morning. When he called up, a telephone operator impersonated the young woman and learned where he was— in a drug store at Highth and Hickory streets ‘and kept him talking until the police could dash there in an auto and take him. Romance turned to gall! Love turned to vinegar in Bill’s mouth! And a very unpleasant thing to have to read in the papers, don't you think? And were not Bill's rights invaded—his * human rights? 1 WHAT BULGARIAN NEUTRALITY MEANS. A Bulgarian pledge of neutrauty it Greece and Rumania enter the war,’ will prove, if confirmed, one of the most important diplomatic victories in the isolation of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Stripped of her conquests in the second Bal- kan war but still mighty in arms, Bulgaria has until now blocked Greek and Rumanian action. Greece feared lest Turkish armies might cross Bulgaria to crush her. Rumania dared not at- tack Hungary if menaced in the rear. Servia’s successes may have convinced Bul- and passes the hat.

This will be a reeord year in the history of the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival. Times are hard. The European war has caused not only widespread distress on account of the dislocation of business, but is draining the relief resources of the whole country to take care of the war sufferers. Destitution is widespread and intense, but at the same time the demands are far greater than they have ever been. In spite of these conditions the people of St. Louis have demonstrated a splendid spirit of generosity in taking care of their own. The ap- peal for funds with which to provide Christmas good cheer for all those who otherwise would have none has been met with exceptional liberal-. ity. The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Fund this year exceeds up to date that of any other year in its history. Contributions have been larger from those able to give much and more Having faith in the generous spirit of our readers, the Post-Dispatch and its co-operating committees prepared for the greater demand which we anticipated would be made on the re- sources of the Festival. We prepared to keep the promise that every destitute person not other- wise provided for would be taken care of on Christmas day. We authorized an increase in the number of baskets by 500 more than have ever’ been distributed before. We authorized an in- crease Jn the dinners for homeless, unemployed. men to the number of 1000 more than have ever been provided for before. We have 5000 dolle 2000. more than were distributed last year. Nearly 2000 of these additional dolls were beau- tifully dressed by volunteers. If every particular the Festival is on a greater scale. In’ the Coliseum where the Festival for the poor children will be given preparations have been made to entertain over 10,000. For the first time there will be seats in the arena for the crippled children, the little children and their mothers or sisters or brothers who bring them to the Festival. This year the Pageant Drama Organization will co- operate with the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Association by giving a Christmas pan- tomime written by Mr. William Le Beaume, with music composed by Dr. Arthur Proetz. , A magnificent tree, 40 feet high, lavishly deco- rated and illuminated, will be provided. Over 20,000 gifts will be distributed among the chil- dren. The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival is unique —there is nothing like it in the world. In no other city do all the well-to-do combine in a great act of Christmas hospitality to all the} unfortunate. No other organization assures Christmas good cheer—bountiful dinners to all the destitute and a splendid Christmas celebra- tion and entertainment for all the poor chil- dreh—for everyone of every age, race and creed. All preparations have been made. Those who have worked for and those who have contributed to the success of the Festival may rest assured that the purpose will be successfully carried out. = = * rw Se STAND PAT VISION WIDENING.

Are even the umreconstructed stand-patters seeing the light? He adds that conditions are a result of “the hysteria that has been going on for seven years” and of the “wave of fanaticism that has enveloped the country.” After seven years of hysteria, we will have seven years of plenty more widely distributed than the plenty of the past.

The Supreme Court of the United States, in or- dering Harry Thaw returned to New York only holds that the subtle questions raised by his counsel cannot be considered in proceedings in which a prima facie case for extradition has been made out. Apparently, then, all these questions can be raised after New York obtains custody of him, including the same ol@ question as to whether a Federal right is denied in demanding/ the extradition on a criminal charge of a person adjudged insane. If this is not an alarming pros pect, what would be an alarming prospect? The 4 public appreciates the duty of the New York Leg- islatures, of other Legislatures, to pass laws cov- ering such cases as Thaw's. Irresponsibility is seldom total. That a mental condition which would exculpate for most crimes might still leave its victim answerable in the eyes of the law for such an offense as conspiracy to escape from a place of lawful detention can easily be seen. But after such changes as seem desirable have been made in the code, the public’s hope is that Stee Oe es eee eee = = a The Pittsburg Leader consistently publishes a velt for President in 1916 and another comic n aes : r — . x Po 4 eke 1 + * | | THURSDAY EVENIN G DECEMBER 24, 1914. 4 is a £ — © * * AR ENON | .A. . ]« 6M 9 — * 22 „ rf . * 2 2 * 54 rir tir? — A* ga ny N 9 9 0 * aA ‘ “HIGHER EDUCATION. ; J.

HARRIS, recently elected Governor of Georgia, merrily smiled the other evening when the conversation in the lobby of a hotel turned to the subject of benedicts. He said he was reminded of a little incident. Some time ago a pretty young woman entered a moving-picture theater and took a seat well toward the front. ‘Finally the lights were turned on, re- vealing a young married couple with whom she was acquainted sitting beside her. “Why, Clara!” exclaimed the young married woman, noticing that the other was unattended. “What in the world are you doing here?” „1 am looking for a husband, dear,” was the quiet response of Clara. “Lajking for a husband!” returned the married woman, wonderingly, “Why, you have a husband!” “Yes, I know,” was the sighful rejoinder of the late comer. “That’s the one I am looking for.”—Phila- delphia Telegraph.

Rover's tail is right in front of the door.“ Mr. Fox watéhed his wife go to the closet and return with the carving knife, but he had no idea what she had in her mind. “Here,” she said, putting the knifs into Mr. Fox’s hand, “I will open the door very softly and you reach out and hop off the end of his tall. Mr. Fox dropped the knife and looked to see if she was out of her senses, but she picked up the knife and handed it to him again. “Come along,” she said, going to the door, and Mr. Fox, thinking he might as well risk Rover catching him as his wife's anger, followed her.

And instead of go- ing home to their families for a few days’ breathing space of peace and good will, the soldiers will stay in the field, and will celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace by industrious efforts at whole- sale killing. Yet their respective Governments, as well as their dear ones, are busy with special efforts to make the great day as pleasant as possible for the luckless warriors. Arrangements have been made for transporting boxes and packages from the homefolks to the front, and the military fare will be supplemented, wherever it is possible,. by Christmas dainties. Each nation’s army has its own pe- cullar tastes in the matter of Yuletide delicacies as well as of Yuletide ob- servances. These as far as may be, will de .humored. The Russlans and the Serbs, who are adherents of the Greek Church, will not celebrate Christmas until Jan. 7, and the Turks and Japanese know not Christmas. But the other nations in- volved in the struggle of the centuries, as a whole, will observe simultaneously the great festival of Christendom. For those at home, worn by grief or fear, this Christmas will be but a ghast- ly mockery of the merry Yuletides of the peaceful past. The soldier, however, with that grim fatalism which marks his trade, will not permit the ever- present possibility of death to mar the jolity of the day. In England this Christmas will partake somewhat of the characteristics of that still Christmas“ proclaimed by Henry VIII, during the days of a great plague, when all rejoic- ing and merriment were sternly re- pressed by royal edict. But while the home folks mourn and feel little im- pulse for gayety the man at the front must be kept cheerful. The army chefs of the various forces have been provided with the material for concocting those delicacies which ere necessary fo a Christmas feast. The British Tommy may not get his accus- tomed roast joint, goose or turkey, but he will have his plum pudding. The plum pudding—which doubtless inspired the American mince pie—has been an English Christmas delicacy for centu- ries. King Arthur made a plum pud- ding large enough for the whole court te “eat thereof,” according to a. recipe which has been handed down for gen- erations: A bag pudding the King did make And stuffed it well with plums, And in it put great lumps of fat As big as my two thumbs. It is unlikely that the French soldier will partake of Strassburg pie, made of truffies and slices of goose liver, but he will at least have plenty of boudin,“ or black pudding, without which no French Christmas is complete. Carp Cooked in beer is a favorite re- past of the Germans at their Yuletide feast. It is improbable that many of the Kaiser’s soldiers will be regaled with this typically Teutonic food, but they will be provided with mohn- plelen,“ which is made of white bread, raisins, poppy seed and nuts stewed in milk. The German at Christmas also par- takes of cakes of various kinds, m- cluding the marizipan tart, the Dres- den stollen, Brunswick honey cakes and Nurenberg ginger cakes. The Weih- nachtsfest“ of the German soldier will be a poor affair if he is not plentifully supplied with the Christmas cakes of his native country. The Christmas delicacies of Austria are as varied as the nationalities of Franz Josef’s kingdom.

Every merchant in England is ex- pected to contribute to the Christmas boxes of the servants of his custom- ers, but it is likely that the gratuities this year will be much smaller than in more prosperous and peaceful times. While the Boxing day custom is not nearly so general as in the past, it is still far from extinct. In some sections of England on Box ing day the poor inhabitants of the parish have made it a point to call at the rectory, where the rector was ex- pected to provide all the bread, cheese and ale they could consume. This gen- tle custom was usually productive of a drunken orgy, for few of the men could resist the temptation to keep drinking the ale so freely provided until they were unable to held another drop. This custom was finally abolished early in the nineteenth century. At the front there are thousands to whom the absence of Boxing day this year will be a sharp deprivation. And nundreds of thousands will miss the home festival they love. Hence tha special effort on the part of commis- sariats and friends alike to make up to them for the loss. , SOME NEW RECIPES. | Rice Croquettes—Two cups of rice, 2 teaspoons salt, one-half teaspoon grat- ed nutmeg, 2 eggs, 8 tablespoons of milk, bread crumbs.

How he had tried at first to make himself believe that it was right to stay away; to cheat the law. Then how he made himself believe it was best for me and the chil- dren. How he had worked at anything he could find to do, hoping to save money to pay up those he had wronged, and how futile it had been, as he dared not try to get a position, with any bro- ker, even on the coast. It was the only business he knew, and made him sin- gularly helpless as regarded making much in other ways. So while he had worked very hard, he had been able to save but little. He told me that he had not gambled in any way since he left, that he never should again, but I could gather from what he told me that he had had many temptations. He had returned deter- mined to take whatever punishment was given him, and intended to go at once to Mr. Flam and tell him so. l Unburden Myself.’ ’ cf OW, tell me all about yourself, N Sue,“ he asked, after he had satisfied me as to himself, his hopes and fears. ‘‘Your mother told me, in part, how brave you had been, how nobly you have acted, but I want to hear it from your own lips.

He asked about Janet, and was inclined to blame her for her treat- ment of me, but when I had pointed out to him that she knew of my extrava- gances, my utter disregard of our finan- cial position in my desire to.have and do as others had and did, he said noth- ing more. „ am tired of being a fugitive, Sue! I am convinced that the only way of squaring myself, of again feeling like a man, is to give myself up,” he said presently. “I am sure that is the anly way, although it has taken long, lonely months of struggle to arrive at a de- cision. I must make myself right with the law before the new life for which we are both striving will be mine.“ „Haven't you suffered enough, dear one?” I asked. „I shall not consider any punishment 1 may be given as suffering, Sue; it is only reparation.’’ ‘(Jack Was Brave.” FTER a little we talked it over A calmly.

By Leased Wire From the New York PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24—Sherwood Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Gunboat Smith knocked out Tom McCarty, the Mon- tana fighter, in the first minute and a half of the fourth round of a sched- uled 10-round bout, at the Empire A. C. last night. After Smith had toppled over McCarty thre times, Referee Dan Tone stopped the milling. McCarty was “out” standing up when Referee Tone saved him. He was 80 weak and helpless that he did not know just where he was or what had hap- pened to him. Tone showed good judg- ment in stopping the bout. Smith did the work with three right- hend swings, soon after the round opened. The first one was his favorite “occipital” punch, landed just behind the ear. McCarty’s failure to take the count after he had dropped to the mat made him a mark for Smith's swing to the face. Again McCarty dropped, this time to the ropes. When he regained his feet Smith swung again to the face and as McCarty was too weak to guard himself the punch found a mark on his chin. Tone then interfered, Up to the time that Smith made his winning rally McCarty had more than held his own. McCarty Proves Game. The first round was a lively one. McCarty was not in the slightest de- gree afraid of the Gunner's prestige and tore into him from the bell. Twice McCarty sent Smith to the ropes, once with a square left to the left eye that nearly closed it, and once with a right on the chin that sent the Gunner's head _ rocking. Smith missed three times with his swings, but managed to plant one right to McCarty’s chin which shook him up. Smith tried an uppercut twice in the second session and missed Mc- Carty’s chin by two feet. Then he attempted swings with the same re- sult. While Smith was swinging and missing, McCarty was working in close and rocking the Gunner's head with short hooks and jabs. McCarty turned the Gunner around with a hard left, early in the third, and then pinned him on the ropes with a right to the jaw. This aroused the Gunner and he tore in, swinging a hard right that glanced off Mc- Carty’s jaw. The punch rocked Me- Carty, but he came back and drove Smith to the ropes with a right to the face and followed it with a hard left under the arm. a > Ferritt Says He’s „Not Coming Here for af. i . a2 Talk With Huggins * ESPITE all reports to the contrary, W.

McCarney has it figured out that Morris is the best white hope on the horizon, and bases one part of his argument on the fact that of all his fights Morris has ended 87 per cent inside the limit stipulated before the start. “We're working up to a bout with Jess Willard,” McCarne told the Post-Dispatch. “We offer to fight Coffey first, then Gunboat Smith and then Sans Willard.

Willard Has Done Nothing. 6 ILLARD is refusing to fight and his case is even worse than that of Jeffries, because he never amounted to anything, while Jeff was, in his prime, a real cham- pion. Willard has vet to learn in the school of experience. I claim it is betraying the public confidence to let this man represent the white race in a title contest, when men like Gunboat Smith hold decisions over him. ' “If he’s of championship class why not let him show it against Carl Mor- ris and others, before sending him over the long ~oute against a man who has yet to be proven a has-been, on per- formance. „Morris has fought five times as many men as Willard and men of greater reputation. His gameness is without flaw, and is surpassed only by his tre- mendous strength and endurance. I got him beaten by McCarty; but that isn't saying he was the inferior of the two. I would hate to choose between them and, of course; I won't make comparisons involving a dead fighter, one for whom I had so much regard. „J will only say that Morris, when he entered the ring at Springfield, expected to meet an ‘easy mark, and thought he would pick up some change. He was taken by surprise and perhaps was con- fused by the rules governing the count. He certainly was not ‘out’ when the referee tapped him on the shoulder and told him he had lost. Hit Morris on the Beezer With a He'll Laugh at You doubt in my mind that he’s the best white wan in the game. Only, it’s hard getting a hearing, even though hé has twice had Jim Flynn, his former con- queror, at the verge of a knockout in subsequent fights. In these bouts Carl showed one pe- culiar thing—he’s probably the only fighter, Jack Johnson not excepted, who ever carried the battle to Flynn. Most of them let Flynn come on and beat him coming in. Morris, his last two outs with the Pueblan, went after the Fire- man. It's possible I may show Morris at the Coliseum here. I have cabled Bom- bardier Wells that if he’s idle abroad he can get a $2500 guarantee and ex- uses, win, lose or draw, if he'll fight orris at Joplin, Mo. “I would also like to take Willard there. But the only thing that will ever get Willard in the ring with a good man, before he fights Jack John- son, will be pressure of public senti- ment. He's not going to miss a big loser's end by being defeated before the title event. And he risks defeat every time he enters the ring.“ Leo Kelly Punishes Bobby Waugh, but Is . = — .

Half Million Is Price Blocking Sale of Yanks Negotiations Come to a Halt After Ruppert and Houston Talk With Farrell. NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Many compli- cations remain to be adjusted before the control of the New York American League club passes to Col. Jacob Rup- pert Jr. and Capt. T. L. Huston, ac- cording to statements given out here today. The prospective purchasers stated ‘that the deal for the purchase of the Yankees had not been completed, but added that if certain details were worked out that they expected to take over the franchise within a few days, President Frank J. Farrell declared that he still controls the club and from other sources it was learned that no definite date had been set for a con- ference between Farrell and the Wwould- be purchasers. The question of the price is said to be the stumbling block. Farrell has named his figure, which is said to be $500,000, and Col. Rupert has of- fered a smaller sum for the club. In an effort to settle the question, it is said that President Ban Johnson has promised to make up the difference between what the prospective purchas- ers are willing to pay and the amount demanded by the present owners. At the Chicago conference the ques- tion of a manager, according to Capt. Huston, was discussed and if the sale is made lies between three men, Bill Donovan, who managed the Providence team,.pennant winners in the Interna- tional League last season; Jack Hen- dricks of Indianapolis, who for several seasons piloted Denver in the Western League, and Jack Dunn of Baltimore..

The rest, therefore, are carri either as tive youngsters looking for expe- rience or Veterans too old to be of ac- tual service, but who have been kept largely through regret at having to let them go. You can estimate that no less than of these veterans were carried last year, when they were of absolutely no use to the clubs. It was merely burn- ing up $200,000 for the sake of sentiment, and some of the weaker clubs felt that they could not stand it.

As the schedule for 1915 will follow closety that of 1913, the Cubs will open in St. Louis for a series of four games. The late closing date in the Bast is due to the fact that Sunday ball is not played in that section, and so all Sundays are holidays for the Eastern clubs, while the Western teams all play in the first day of the week. The Western teams are there- fore able to finish their schedule four days earlier that the Eastern teams. The estern teams this year will g« East in May, July and August, while the Eastern clubs will come West in June, Avgusteand September. There will be only five conflicts with American League clubs, and all five are Sunday dates in Chicago, where the two parks are so widely separat- ed that neither club suffers much from opposition. There will be no conflicts in St. Louis and none in any of the Eastern cities. | — — Diamond Glints. There were 28 batters in th Association who hit .300 or hit oe Lake.

HE front of the theater was one k blaze of lights. The lobby was thronged with all the many and varied strong men who are seemingly needed to draw salaries in connection with any theatrical production that is properly financed by outsiders. The man in the box office smiled as he thought of the insults he would heap on anybody who tried to buy a Seat at the box office—for all the first- night seats had been given away. Mr. Harold Dogstory wore his fur overcoat negligently open to show his correct theatrical evening attire. This consisted of striped black trousers, a biue and gold low-out dress waistcoat, a bolied tripe sturt with imitation ruby studs, a stand-up collar, at batwing tie of purple, edged with black, and a dinner jacket. Mr. Dogstory also wore his flat- brimmed silk hat. The hat had been newly shined with stove polish, and the 6 ed overcoat had been care fully gone over by Tony, the bootblack, and all the threadbare edges blackened carefully. Tt looked Ie a big night that nile audience lottered in the lobbies, and had finally to be forced to their seats by the ushers. The buss of pessimistic prophecy hushed down, the eritics#’ faces as- sumed a tense and murderous ex- pression, as if the critics defied all the world to convinee them of merit in anything they were to see or hear. The ourtain. went up; the scene dis- closed the villa gardens of Nero; and the play was en. As the great manager, Sam langer, had predicted, the first rousing in- terest evoked was at the entrance of little Halloway Bingie, the bow- legged boy—billed, on account of his eliipical legs, as “Tdtte Archie,” in the role of Asparagus the Younger. ‘When this child was dragged de- fore the implacable tyrant Nero to be doomed to be fed inflammables and then made to swallow a wick and later on to be used as a night lamp by Mero’s bed (while the tyrant lay awake to read the latest massa- cres in the sporting columns of the Evening Toga, an old Roman sheet long since suspended), a roar of ap- proval went up from the house. And when Frederick Face, the ald stock actor, playing Nero, ranted so that his crown fell off and rolled between the legs of the bow-legged child without touching, a voice cried, “Goal,” and the show had to stop for five minutes. “We got a chance yet!” murmured Sam Slanger to his myrmidons in the lobby in the entr’acte. “The great lion's den scene is liable to get over with a wallop. The society skirt ain't doing so bad!“ And she wasn't. In fact, Clara Mud- ridge-Smith could act as unreally as any long established star, and her dic- tion was as hard to comprehend as tha* of any great “intellectual star“ who Seemingly plays Ibsen in the language in which he wrote his dramas. Then came the great lion's den scene. “The house leaned forward, tense and silent, the orchestra played shivery ‘SMATT For THe rove oF PETE! | ee ER POP? * * =», tay rh!

HH snow beat mercilessly into their faces as the young man and young woman turned the corner of the ave- nue. “Did you get any in your eyes, dar- ling?’ he asked, fondly, drawing her closely to him. Ves, sweetheart,” she murmured, searching for her elusive handkerchief. Which one, beloved?“ he pressed. “The right one, lovely! Did you get any in yours*’ Fes, dear heart!"”” he responded, us- ing the same corner of the handkerchief that she had used. “How sweet!"’ she exclaimed. And yours was in the right eye, too!“ “Ah!” she thrilled, “do you suppose it could have been part of the same piece of snow that got in our eyes?’’ „J hope it was! he exclaimed, fer- ventiy, blinking a pleasurable beam with his good eye. Wouldn't cried. “Oh, love, wouldn't it?“ he wriggled. And the wind howled as though in pain, and from the house oppos:te a “Votes for Women” board fell with a sickening crash upon the pavement. it ne lovely, leave?“ There Yet.

ISS EUPHEMIA HICKS, our tal- Mi ented local poetess, has writ us a Christmas poem special for our correspondents’ ‘column. We don't sub- mit it in full, for there's 32 pages of it, which would be too much. This is the first page, if you want the rest write and let us know. „ * * „ * * * EDITOR’S NOTE—Evesn one page was “too much.” Much too much. Hazen Conklin There was too much gas in the metre and her poetic feet weren’t mates, and, besides—well, here’s = sample. Now, de you blame ust? „J love to watch fer dear old Santa, And hear his approaching reindeer canter. And when he comes down our big chim- ney I hide away from him so that he can’t see me. . For if he saw me he'd very quickly vanish And no presents. my stockings would then garnish!’ Here's some sneers from Amos Crabb, our local sneerer. Real Christmassy, some of them: This is the time of year when folks is worryin’ about the presents they got last year fer fear they'll by mistake give: em back this year to the folks they got em from, It's the feller who does the loudest howlin’ about Christmas presents bein’ a foolish waste of money who works up the biggest grouch when he finds out that some of his friends fergot to give him any.
