WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The sub- committee of the House Committee on Naval Affairs which has been framing the provisions of the naval appropria- tion bill for battleships and other fight- ing machines, is ready to report. It will recommend: Two dreadnoughts. Six destroyers. Ten submarines. A larger fleet of aircraft. The bill, as tentatively drawn, appro- priates $145,000,000, as compared wit’ $140,800,643.53 last year. The one thing that all agree on is that the aircraft pf the navy must be brought up to date in size and effi ciency.

DOG SNIFFS OUT INTRUDER, HOLDS HIM FOR WATCHMAN Police Say Prisoner Was Arrested in the Same Shoe Factory Once Before. The keen nose of “Cap,’’ a white En- glish bulldog, smelled out a man hiding under a work bench in the leather room of the Jefferson-Randolph factory of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., as ‘“‘Cap”’ made the rounds with Louis Doeg, night watchman, at 5 a. m. today. The dog gripped the man’s foot, ‘and the man was dragged out and handed over to the police, who later said he was Henry Abey, 41 years old, who was arrested in the same factory a year and a half ago on charges of stealing leath- er. Because of the insufficiency of the evidence at that time, Abey was fined $100 on a charge of idling, and the fine was stayed on his promise to leave the city.

Secretary Daniels is pleased with the prospective provisions of the House Committee, for, in a general way, the Congressmen have allowed his recom- mendations. The Senate committee will increase the “House apprepriation to about $150,- 000,000, adding several submarines, and providing for one or more destroyers. Daniels Interested in Aireraft. Secretary Daniels is keenly interested in the aircraft of the navy. He has asked the committee to use most of the money saved by. his department last year for aircraft. “Aircraft have demonstrated in the present war in Europe,” said Secretary Daniels, ‘‘that no navy or army is com- plete which lacks them. They will not replace vessels of war, but will extend the field of operations.’’ It is estimated that the navy needs 200 aircraft, 100 for active service and 106 in reserve. The navy appropriation bill, as it now looks, will, according to Secretary Dan- jels’ viewpoint, bring the navy up to date. “PING PONG” DAYS OF THE NEW YORK MILITIA NEAR END Armory Hardwood Floor to Come Up So Men Can Come Down to Trench Digging. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—The days of “ping pong’ soldiers in this State are numbered, said Major-General John F. Ryan, Commander in Chief of the New York State National Guard, in a state- ment today, explaining the recent order disbanding the Twenty-second Regiment and its formation into two battalions of engineers. The hardwood floor of the regiment’s armory in this city is to be torn up, he said, so that the members of the new battalions can have practical experience in engineering work, such as digging trenches. “If we advertised for ‘ping pong’ sol- diers and offered them dances,’’ con- tinued the Major-General, ‘‘wé could get all we wanted. But what we want in the National Guard are strong, athletic men, who delight in camping and rough- ing it.’’ 20 CARS OF CINDERS BEING PUT ON STREET TO FREE BRIDGE East St. Louis Is Improving Trendiey Avenue Between I. C. Railroad and River Twenty carloads of cinders are being placed on Trendley avenue in East St. Louis between the [Illinois Central Railroad tracks and the river, in prep- aration to king a passable road to the free bridge approach for heavy hauling. The cinders were obtained by Street Commissioner Godfrey from miants free of charge. The railroads donated the switching, except in two or three cases. Godfrey said cinders will be placed on. the entire length of the street be- tween the railroad tracks and the river, te a depth of 14 Inches. Trendley ave- nue is used by transfer wagons, and ruts more than a foot deep have been cut in some p Several drivers have been arrested at the request of the Hu- mane Society because the ruts have caused the wagon tongues to swing around and knock the horses down. Ratliroad Beallider Dies at Joplin. JOPLIN, Mo., Dec. 2%.—A. H. Jennings, who, as contractor, built many railroads in the Middle West, died at his home When the hunters toppled over in their boat, the soldiers put out in a boat and towed the hunters’ craft to shore. Secretary of State Bryan was notified of the shooting by Vice-Consul J. B. Curtis of Fort Erie. ‘Whether complications will result is a debatable question,” said Curtis. ‘While two Americans were shot, the information available indicates that they were shooting ducks without a Canadian license and were in Canadian waters, where they had no right to be under the circumstances. No arrests have been made.”’ The Coroner's inquest will be held late today. FAMILY OF FIVE BURNED TO DEATH IN THEIR HOME Son of Former Maryiund Saxttce Loses “With Wife and Children in Florida, WINTERHAVEN, Fla., Dec. 28.—Har- ry Alvey, his wife and three children were burned to death today, when fire destroyed their home near here. Their charred bodies were found to- gether in the ruins of the children’s room. The fire’s origin has not been de- termined. Neighbors who saw the flames thought the family was away from home.

WOMEN GATHERING FOR HOUSE SUFFRAGE FIGHT Rule Which Will Open Discussion to Be Presented Soon by Rep- resentative Henry. WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The fight in behalf of the adoption by Congress of a constitutional amendment to exten:i suffrage to women took on additional interest with the arrival here today of many prominent woman §suffragists. They plan to be on hand during the de- bate in the House on the proposed amendment and to attend the annual meeting of the Congressional Union for Woman's Suffrage, Jan. 10. Chairman Henry of the House Rules Committee plans to report a rule with- in a few days to provide for discussion on a resolution for submission of the proposed constitutional amendment to the state legislatures. Vigorous efforts have been made by suffrage advocates and its opponents to bring about a vots on the rule and resolution. The suffrage fight in the House is ex- pected to rival in interest the contest over the prohibition constitutional! amendment. PRESIDENT TO NAME TRADE COMMISSION THIS WEEK WASHINGTON,. Dec. 2.—President Wilson expects to send to the Senate this week nominations of the five mem- bers of the Federal Trade Commission. It was said at the White House today that he has narrowed his list of eligi- bles from 300 to a few men. Among those whom the President ‘is WOMAN FLOORS 2 USHERS IN AGT Grand Opera House Audience Sees Thrilling Disturbance Over Demand for Seats. Details of an exciting incident in the Grand Opera House, which attracted the attention of the audience about 3:30 -.. Saturday, were related in Police Court today, when Mr. and Mrs. Max Tzinberg of 4867 Cote Brilliante ave- nue, and two ushers, William Ryan and John Meyer, appeared to answer cross- charges of peace disturbance. Neither the Tzinbergs nor the ushers would discuss the incident, it being ex- plained that the theater management had asked them to say nothing about the affair. Judge Hogan did not hear the details, because Mrs. Tzinberg took a change of venue to Judge Sanders’ court, where the' case later will be heard. Paid for Admission, One of two policemen, who were hur- riedly summoned to the theater and who made the four arrests told:a re- porter that it started because Mrs. Tzinberg insisted upon having a seat for herself and husband, when there were no seats. The Tzinbergs had paid 20 cents each for admission to the first floor. When they found they couldn't get seats, the policeman said, they de- manded the return of their money. Ushers tried to explain that one show was about over and that seats would be available soon. Mrs. Tzinberg, it appears, insisted on getting a seat or having her money refunded. The audience, hearing the disturbance to their rear, forgot the show for the moment to witness what they thought might prove a better “act.”’ Birdie Gos- ser, the cashier, attracted by the dis- pute, left the box window and went into the foyer. Police Are Accommodating Just then, it appears from what the police learned, Mrs. Tzinberg, who was angry, thought the ushers, also angry, were going to strike her. She struck out. Ushers Ryan and Meyer struck the floor. This was where the police came in. The ushers wanted the Tzinbergs ar- rested, and the Tzinbergs ‘wanted the ushers arrested. All were accomimo- dated.

Sam D. Capen, president of the Busi- ness Men’s League, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter today that despite the efforts of the league, in co-operation with Mayor Kiel, to stimulate the em- ployment of men in St. Louis, there probably would be many additional men thrown out of employment immediate- ly after New Years. The letters re- ceived by the league, in response to a joint letter sent out by Capen and Mayor Kiel, contain the intimation that most of the business and manufactur- ing establishments are carrying au the working forces possible. President Capen said that his opinion was based upon information which had come to him personally and »not through the letters sent to the league. He knew personally of several large firms that would discharge 100 or more men after Jan. 1, he said. Many Working Full Time. The letters also show that a consider- able number of the manufacturing plants are operating on full time, and have not discharged any employes. W. C. Hen- iming, secretary of the A. Leschen & Sons Rope Co., in a letter sent to the league offices today, said that the plant was running full time, that no employes had been discharged and none would be un- less it was absolutely necessary.

Birge, manager of the Ames Shovel and Tool Co., said: “I may state that we are working pretty nearly on the lines you suggest, and while for several weeks we worked on short time, we have kept every person employed that we have been able to, and many times when their services were not needed.”’ Alexander T. Primm Jr., vice-president of the J. Kennard & Sons Carpet Co., suggested that the league make a list of all unemployed persons, so that busi- ness houses needing help could get the kind of employes they wanted without delay. The league will not undertake to maintain an employment bureau, but will rely upon the State Free Employ- ment Bureau to furnish help to any members wishing to hire men or women. Employes Not Needed, but Kept. Richard Moore, president of the Becker-Moore Paint Co., wrote: “In answer to the suggestions (by Mayor Kiel and President Capen) we wish to say that so far as our firm is individually concerned we have carried 45 per cent of our employes On Our payroll which we could have laid off without injuring our organi- zation in the least. These employes have been with us in prosperous times and we felt it our duty to con- tinue them on the payroll during these dull times, even at a great loss to our firm. “We have, however, this satisfac- tion in knowing that they appreciate what we have done for them, and are willing to make good the loss when the opportunity presents itself. What we have done, I am sure, has been done by every jobbing and manufac. turing Institution In our city, and we do not think it fair for the Mayor to ask us to do any more than we have already done. In fact, we may add that in so far as we are individ- ually concerned we have reached the limit of our endurance. “We do not see why the benevolent and charitable organizations in the eity put all their efforts in raising purposes to. “wards the manufacturer and jobber, vhile thousands of professional men aa thousands of brokers, who rep- sent Bastern manufacturers, are sed up or forgotten for some rea- : which is beyond our understand- , Drain eon Manufacturers. h other words, if everybody who aking a living off of a large or - business, professional or other- ) would do their duty, % would set them an average of 25 cents while the manufacturing and ‘@ houses In the last six months averaged $10 to $600 a day. is is putting it very mildly and ~e informed on good authority '. few houses have spert $27,000 th to maintain their manufac- - and jobbing forces, which they ‘ave dispensed with.” a | Lack of Convictions Lead to Vigorous Oleo Crusade Here Continued Frem Page One. from five to seven years might nave been assessed in some cases. The record shows that cases were , continued from one term to another, and frequently there is no record of any action in a case during an entire term of court. There are cases dock, eted for next Monday which have been on the docket every time since the Sep- tember term in 1912. One of the two ‘cases disposed of was that of Daniel Tobin, who was indicted Dec. 12, 1912. The case was continued from time to time until Oct. 2, 1914, when it was dismissed by the United States District Attorney. Homer Hall, Assistant United States District Attorney during the Houts ad‘ ministration, and who remained in the office after District Attorney Oliver took charge, said that the Tobin case was dismissed on instructions from the Internal Revenue Department, which had compromised the case with Tobin. Hall said the law gives the revenue depariment the right to compromise oleo- margarine cases and to dismiss prose- cutions. Corporation Fined $1700. The other case was that of the Mound City Butterine Co., a corpora- tion, which was indicted March 24, 1913. The case was one in which only a fine could be assessed as no individuals were named in the indictment. Another in- dictment against the same company, returned at the same time, in which the individual officers were named, and in which an imprisonment sentence could have been pronounced if they had been found guilty, never has been tried, but is still on the docket. In the corpora- tion case, fines aggregating $1700 were assessed. Last Sentences in January, 1912. The latest sentences of individuals on oleomargarine cases were in January. 1912, when John L. McManigle was fined $1000 and sentenced to serve one year in the Leavenworth penitentiary, and George A. Brown was fined $1500 and sentenced to serve six months in the Warren County jail. Both entered pleas of guilty. June 1, 1911, Fred D. May, Thomas B. May, William M. Johnson and E. W. Bailey were convicted of oleomargarine law violations. Fred M. May was fined $2000 and sentenced to one year and ons day in the Leavenworth prison. Thomas B. May was fined $3000 and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. Johnson and Raily were each sentenced to one year’s imprisonment. They were pardoned by the President. The Mays appealed from the decision in their Cases and the sentences were affirmed by the Unite States Court of Appeals. They were sent to the Leavenworth penitentiary. Judge Dyer Orders Inquiry Into “Meddling” in Oourt’s Affairs. From the bench today wudge Dyer in the United States District Court referred to recere publications in St. Louis morn- ing newspapers in which it was said that revenue agents belleved heavy bonds would be demanded of the men indicted in the oleo cases and that the lowest bond accepted would be $6000. According to these accounts it was estimated that from $250,000 to $500,000 in bonds would be required to cover all the cases. “When men are indicted in this court no one is authorized to speak but the District Attorney,” said Judge Dyer.; “Talking only results in trouble for the Marshal in getting service on the in- dicted men. Busybodies who meddle with affairs of this court may be pun- ished *»r contempt. A word to the wise is sufficient. “If mon supposed to be indicted here are to be notified that they must go to jail in default of large bonds it is not to be expected that the Marshal will be able to arrest them. I have asked the District Attorney to put on foot an in- vestigation as to this meddling with the Court’s affairs.” B. L. Whité, Assistant District At- torney, arose and said he concurred in Judge Dyer’s remarks and that he was amazed when he read published fore- casts of the amount of the bonds to be fixed in the oleo cases. The first of the indicted oleo dealers to give bond was Joseph Kilshaw, who appeared at the Federal Building this afternoon with his surety, William Marshall. Kilshaw was charged with illegally manufacturing and selling col- ored oleo at 3042 Cass avenue. His bond was fixed at $2000, Seman te a ee pe — .

There likely were a number injured who did not report the acci- dents. Twenty-four persons were in- jured in streets, either when cross- ing or waiting for cars. Six persons were thrown off wag- ons that skidded on streets. a * Sens A citizens’ committee appointed to as- certain whether wealthy St. Louisans would lend $1,000,000 to the city to fur- nish work for the unemployed, and whether the city could accept such a loan, suggested to Mayor Kiel today that the ordinance requiring household- ers and property owners to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks be strictly enforced. The enforcement of the ordinance, the committee declared, would give employ- ment to many idle people. The commit- tee called the Mayor’s attention to the fact that the sidewalks in many resi- dence districts are covered with ice, makihg pedestrian travel dangerous. A city ordinance requires household- ers and property owners to remove all snow and ice from the sidewalks in front of their premises. This ordinance is seldom obeyed, except when the police notify the householders on their beats to comply with it Mayor Favors Pian. Mayor Kiel told the committee that by all means the ordinance ought to be enforced, and that he would himself communicate with the police depart- ment with respect to it. He suggested that the committee wait on Chief of Po- lice Young, and request him to take steps to enforce the ordinance without delay. The members of the committee are J. Lionberger Davis, Albert von Hoffmann and Otto Pauls. The committee made no report concerning its efforts to raise the loan, , The committee told Mayor Kiel that it would undertake to furnish mer. from the soup line for cleaning sidewalks during the entire winter. The price to be charged will be 2 cents a front foot for each time the snow is cleaned away, or a minimum charge of 50 cents. Bureau Organized. After visiting Mayor Kiel and tak- up the subject with President Mc- Pheeters of the police board, the committee organized a St. Louis Clean-the-Sidewalks Bureau, which will undertake to furnish all the men needed for this kind of work. Any householder wanting a man _ *for cleaning off the sidewalks may send his money to the committee, which will have headquarters in the Four Courts Building, with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and his name will be put on the list, and as soon as snow falls a man will be sent to his place to clean off the walk. A receipt will be sent for all money received. Von Hoffman is president of the committee, Paul O. Summers, treas- urer, and Robert E. Lee, secretary. The committee hopes to be able, by getting into téuch with house- holders, to furnish at least temporary employment to many of the men who apply to the free soup kitchen for food As soon as Chief Young heard the suggestion of the committee he called up the captains of all districts and directed them to Instruct patrolmen im- mediately to give final warning to all householders that the ice must be re- moved from the sidewalks today or po- lice court summonses would be issued against them tomorrow. Chief Young said that the police al- ready had notified all householders to have the snow and ice removed, but that In many instances the notiqgphad been ignored.

HEMET ‘oH OF NOVELIST, LOSTIN BRITISH AIR RAID He Is Only Aviator Who Was Not Saved After Visit to Cuxhaven. + FOUR LOST MACHINES British (Warships Elude Sub- marines and Rout Zeppelins Near Helgoland. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch . and New York World. LONDON, Dec. 28.—Flight Commander Hewlett, who is believed to have lost his life in the raid on Cuxhaven, is the only son of Maurice Hewlett, the nov- elist. He became a naval cadet in Jan- uary, 1904, was promoted to be a lieu- tenant last January, and made a flight commander in July. He obtained his pilot’s certificate at Brooklands in No- vember, 1911. His mother is a well- known airwoman. She obtained her certificate in August, 1911. Before tak- ing up aviation she obtained practical knowledge of motor engineering. Her son received from her his first instruc- tions in airmanship. The Official Press Bureau has given out the following statement regarding the British raid on the German coast: On Friday, Dec. 2%, the German warships lying off Schilling Roads off Cuxhaven were attacked by seven naval aeroplanes piloted by Flight Comman- ders, Oliver, Hewlett, Boss and Kilner, Flight Lieutehants Miley and Edwards and Sublieutenant Blackburn. Zeppelin Attacks Ships. “The attack was delivered in daylight, Starting from a point in the vicinity of Helgoland. .The seaplanes were escorted by a light cruiser and destroyer force, the Germans with submarines. As these ships were seen by the Germans from Helgoland two Zeppelins and three or four hostile seaplanes and several hos- tile submarines attacked them. “Tt was necessary for the British ships. to remain in the neighborhood to pick up the returning airmen and a novel combat ensued between the most modern cruisers and the enemy’s air- craft and submarines. By swift ma- neuvering the enemy’s submarines were avoided and the tvep Zeppelins were easily put to flight by the guns of the Undaunted and Aretnusa. “The enemy’s seaplanes succeeded in dropping their bombs near our ships, but without hitting any of them. The British ships remained for three hours: off the enemy’s coast without being mo- lested by any surface vessel and safely re-embarked three out of the seven air- men, with their machines. Three other pilots returned later and were picked up by British submarines which were standing by. Their machines were sunk. “Six out of the seven pilots returned safely. Flight Commander Hewlett is missing. His machine was seen in a wrecked condition avout eight miles from Helgoland, and the fate of the daring and skillful pilot is at present unknown. Extent of Damage Unknown. “The extent of the damage by the British airmen’s bombs cannot be esti- mated, but all were discharged at points of military significance. “On Thursday last Squadron. Com- mander Richard B. Davies of the haval air service visited Brussels in a Far- man biplane for the purpose of drop- ping 12 bombs at an airship shed re- ported to contain a German Parseval. Eight of these bombs of which six are believed to have hit, were discharged at the first attack, the remaining four on the return flight. Owing to the clouds of smoke which arose from the shed, the arrees could not be distinguished.”’ OLD TOWER WILL BE SAVED NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The old bell tower on a high hill in Mount Morris Park is to be preserved through the in- itiative of descendants of Gouverneur Morris of Colonial times. The old tower—the last of its kind in. the city and containing the bell which last tolled curfew here—was for- merly one of the 12 similar towers con- stituting the only means of calling firemen to fires. eS SERVIANS AND AUSTRIANS WAGED UNDERGROUND WAR Medieval Mining Operations Formed Subterrane- ari City Where There Were Barber Shops and Baths. Correspondence of the Associated Press. MITROVICA, Hungary, Nov. 22.—The southern theater of the war had its “Yser canal and West Fianders,”” a terrain the possession of which means much to the adversaries. Before the Austro-Hungarian army could make headway against Servia it was neces- sary to take the Macva district, and pe- fore this could be invaded the Paras- nica peninsula, in the Save, north of the Drina’s mouth, had to be taken. The Austro-Hungarians, who first at- tacked the Servian positions in the Par- asnica early in August, discovered the undertaking was too costly and for over a month contented themselves with what may be called a siege of the po- sition. By the end of September it be- came more apparent than ever that the Parasnica and Macva would have to be cleared of Servian troops and opera- tions against the entrenchments and re- doubts on the peninsula mee resumed, Taken After Fierce gle. Toward the end of Octeban el the Par- asnica was finally occupied, after a most desperate struggle, and from that time on the advance of the Austro- Hungarian troops, while slow, made steady headway until Valjevo was in their hand and Kragujevac, the last fortified position of the Serbs. The area of the Parasnica is approxi- mately two and one-half square miles. Today its level surface is furrowed by hundreds of entrenchments, redoubts, bomb proofs and covered and open pas- sages from one trench to another, the whole locality having the appearance of a tremendous maze and in some parts the impression is conveyed that a whole underground city had existed there. Then, not a few of the trenches have been used .s graves for men and an- imals. In many places the trenches are only 15 yards apart, and in only a few in- stances are they separated by more than fifty yards—eloquent testimony of the severity of the struggle for their possession. So well constructed were the trenches, shelter ditches and bomb proofs that field artillery was useless, and so well defended were they by. the Serbs that every attempt by the Austro- Hungarians to take them by infantry attacks resulted in terrible slaughter. In the end 9. practice common in the wars of the Middle Ages had to be resorted to—counter mining. The Serbs had en- trenched themselves to a depth of from five to nine feet, had dug tunnels from one position to another, and, where this was not feasible, stout timber had been used to render the trenches safe against the field artillery of the Austrians. But the “Austrian sappers and pioneers dug deeper tunnels at right angles to the Servian trenches and parallels through which their infantry would advance un- der cover of night. In this manner ground was gained on one day, to be lost again, perhaps, the following day by a similar maneuver of the Serbs. For about six weeks this really sub- terranean war continued. It was ended by the bringing up of heavy mortar bat- teries by the Austrians. The resistance of the Serbs continued, As heretofore, their trenches had to be taken one by one, but this time artillery rendered fu- tile their brave defense. Many of the Austrian shells fell into the Servian trenches and killed or maimed every soldier in them. But a dash for the position by the Austrian infantry brought the usual hail of small arms and machine-gun bullets and add- ed hundreds to the population of the vast necropolis that Parasnica is today. The determination of the Austro-Hun- garians to take the Parasnica was+n9 less fixed than the realization of the Serbs that with this position gone, the fate of the Macva, Servia’s richest dis- trict, would be sealed. The struggle therefore, continued with unabated bit- terness and. finally was carried into the open country beyond the peninsula. The resistance of the Serbs collapsed after their positions near the village of Czar- nabara had to be abandoned.

This is indicated by a transfer of the parapet from one side to another. zome of the bricks—the material used generally—having been left where they were first placed by the Serbs.

Over these earth was then thrown, the whole providing a shelter against which the Austrian field artillery was impotent. Baths in Underground City. Concrete was not used, as has been claimed, but brick” was employed in lining and retaining the walls of the deeper trenches and covered passage- ways. All trenches and redoubts had connecting ditches and tunnels, and by means of them the Serbs, and later the Austrians, were able to take troops from one part of the terrain to another without their being seen. Adjoining the trenches one finds small caves, whosel floors are still littered with straw and hay, upon which the men slept. While during the day it was fatal to show the location of a trench by the smoke of a fire over which food might be cooked, the men seem to have managed to get 2% warm meal at night. Many of the caves in the trenches show fireplaces. Usually a small hole to the surface Anatomists and Biologists high for Resumption of Humani- tarian Work in Busope.

Gradually the Serb inhabitants of the Macva are returning to their ruined homes. Timidly they await the ap- proach of a stranger and then go their way. Little is left of their stock. Here and there one sees a few porkers on the point of starvation—hundreds of hungry dogs waiting for the porkers’ end. In Czarnabara a lonely hen stood in the door of a ruined home, and fur- ther on a few geese honked in terror. Even the prune trees, whose fruit is said to be famous all over Europe, have not escaped the terror of war. Some of the orchards were plowed up by ar- tillery fire, while others supplied fire- wood and trench .piling. «<6 ade %- DAVE: |] ain’t mad at v tones pitt at ents a diamond ring - A R payed Bros. & C my .

Her father has been out of work for two months. Two other chil- dren, one 6 years old, and the other 2, are ill of diphtheria. The mother told B. J. Kennedy, the morgue Keeper, that thevewere too pour to call a physician when the childrer became sick. Saturday the girl's con- dition became so. serious that they asked for a physician from the Baptist Hos- pital. Dr. J. C. Bram visited the home, and administered 10,000 units of anti- toxin. The child’s condition was such at that time, however, that the anti-toxin did not henefit her. “Veteran Illinois Merchant Dies. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, .Dec. 28.—Johs Bressmer, veteran Springfield merchant, died this afternoon at Miami, Fila. Bress mer was born in Getmany, June 8, 1833, and came to this city when he was 15 years old. oe eae ee {bank building as it stands today. laid his plans before the other officers | jas a savings institution, his time drawing the rough plans of the He and directors of the bank, but they were rejected on account of the expense. However, Uhri kept up the fight until he won. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the new bank is its great double- vault system, duplicated on both the main and basement floors. These vaults were constructed especially to baffle the efforts of the expert burglar, equipped with an acetylene oxygen flame outfit. A sheet of recently in- vented Krupp steel, three-quarters of an inch thick, has been inserted be- tween the layers of the steel walis and doors of the vaults. This steel, the bank officers are assured, will _resist the acetylene oxygen flame, and ever the most skilled burglar cannot burn his gerd through it. Time Clocks in Each Vault. The vault for the books is connected with the vault for the money by an in- ner door, so that if by any chance the time locks on the money vault sheuld fail to work, an entrance could be made through the book vault. There are three time clocks in’ the doors of both the book and money vaults, so arranged that one clock azsts’ as a protection against the failure of the other tavo. It is possible that five of the clocks might fail, and yet the sixth clock would trip the secret bolt which would .unlock th~ massive steel door and give the bank officials access to the money. The vaults on both the main and bas2- ment floors are of the same construc- tion, and have the same time tock equipment. The bank, building occupies a lot hav- ing a Brogdway frontage of 66 feet and a Pine street frontage of. 88 feet. The style of the architecture is ‘talian*Re- naissance. The exterior is faced witb Atlantic white granite from North Caro- lina. The interior architecture is also of the Italian Renaissance, and the fin- ish its in Colorado Yule marble—a per- fectly white marble. The building 15 surmounted by a dome rising 60 feet above the ground floor, and having an interior diameter of 38 feet. At the base of the dome there is an ornamental frieze, with sculptured ef- fects. Besides being highly ornamentai, the dome serves a most useful purpose. It is patterned after the dome on the Pantheon at Rome and constructed ?¢» admit daylight throughout the entire building, even on a dark day. There is a row of concealed electric globes. around the base of the dome, which, re- flect their light against the inner glass | shell. With the exception of the HNghts on several standards On the rail of the mezzanine floor, and at various places on the main floor, an indirect lighting system is used. Celling Very Artistic. The coffered ceiling in cameo effect is very artistic. I*rom the main floor the ceiling has the appearance of being : perfect, soft white, but from the mez- zanine floor there is an optical illusion which gives the effect of several softly blended colors. The building is equipped with a double heating system. The fan system of heating will be used for all except zero weather, when the heat will be applied direct through the radiators. All the air that comes into the building enters through the basement, where it is washed before being passed through the air ducts into the building. In the summer months the air will be cooled. The offices of the president, eashier and their assistants are in the Broad- way end of the building. Adjoining their offices is the discount committee’s room. The diréctors’ room, finished in oak, is on the mezzanine floor. There is an oval check counter in the center of the main banking room. The teHers’ cages are grouped around the north, east and south sides of the main room. The building was designed by Albert B. Groves, a St. Louis architect, ana erected under his supervision. The German Savings Institution was incorporated in 183, with a capita) of anly $5000. It now has a capital of $500,- 000. With its surpius of $1,000,000 and undivided profits of . $600,000 it has a working capital of $2,000,000. Although its name indicates that it was intended it has never nad a savings department, but one is to be opened in the new building. The bank is operating under its original charter, and is said to be the oldest bank in Missouri that is doing so. Nelson W. McLeod is president.

CLOTHING FOUND IN HOTEL ROOM The mystery of the disappearance of Robert G. Crow. former Postmaster of Caruthersville, Mo., from the Pontia Hotel a week ago, has been heightened by the finding, in his room at the hotel, of all the clothing he is known to have possessed. City detectives today reported that they found Crow’s overcoat, two suits of clothes, hat, shoes and gocks, the latte. with supporters attached; his shirt wit the buttons in it and a collar with necktie adjusted to it. The tie was slightly torn, but this may have been from wear. Crow was last seen by the hotel man- ager, W. T. Linzee, a week ago today. He went out after dinner, and Linzee did not see him again. ‘The missing man is 31 years old, and is an agent for the New York Life In surance Co., with territory in Southeast Missouri. His visit to St. Louis was made for the purpose of making his re- port at the St. Louis office of the com. pany. He had told his wife he would return before Christmas. Tney have a daughter 7 years old and « son 3 years old. The only belongings which Crow brought to St. Louis which are now missing are his money, ring and re volver. He had $900 of his own when he called at the insurance office. His - brother; former Congressman Charles A. Crow of Campbell, Mo., is conducting the search for him. Robert Crow is a member of the Elks, Eagles and Modern Woodmen. Bessie Halliday, 27 years old, and Thomas Daniels, 23 years old, a bellboy, were taken from the hotel today and questioned by the police. The woman was questioned because she had arrived at the hotel on Monday, when Crow dis- appeared, and had given her address as Illmo, Ill., where Crow had been. The bellboy told of finding Crow’s room empty when he took a telegram there from Mrs. Crow.

In donating. all the profits of their present tour to the Belgian Relief Fund, the Harvard Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, appearing in a great college con- cert at the Odeon on Thursday eve- ning, voluntarily have denied themselves the pleasure trip to New York City la- ter in the season which has been en- joyed in past years. It has been the custom for the profits of the Harvard Musical Clubs’ tours to go to the club treasuries, and a portion of the money thus realized has been used to defray the cost of a New York visit, during the course of which the young sons of Fair Harvard always have been brilliantly entertained and have had the best of good times. Now, however, under the terms of a special contract based upon the gener- ous offer of the Harvard Musical Clubs, the profits realized from this season’s tour go wi et the relief of the Bel- gian war sufferers, and the members of the Harvard Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs are doing everything in their power to break all earlier Harvard rec- ords in the line of box office receipts from their concerts, in order that the total of their contribution to the Bel- gian Relief Fund may be as large as possible. This unselfish spirit is meeting with a splendid popular response, and all in- dications now are that the Odeon boxes, lower floor and balcony will be crowded to the doors at Thrrsday night’s con- cert, the gathering constituting one of the most brilliant society audiences seen in St. Louis in many years. Among the box holders on this occa- sion are Samuel C. Davis, Daniel K. Catlin, Samuel W. Fordyce Jr., George D. Markham, Thomas Akin, Arthur Wait, Robert Nelson, Robert Abeles, Archer O’Reilly, Lee Hagerman, Ed- ward Mallinckrodt Jr., 8S. L. Swarts, Eugene Angert, Hugh McK. Jones, George Steedman (two boxes), Mrs. Lucy C. McKinley (two boxes), A. T. Per- kins, J. D. Filley, Mrs. Louis Chauve- net and Theron Catlin. Seats for this great Harvard concert for the benefit of the Belgian war suf- ferers now .are on sale at the Famous- Barr Co.’s box office.

' A real treat for the youngsters and those grown-ups who still remember the charm of Mother Goose and fairy tales, will be the Christmas pantomime mat- inee tomorrow afternoon at the Odeon at 2:15. It was first produced at the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival... Al- most 200 will take part in the produc- tion. It was written by William La- Beaume for the Christmas Municipal Festival. It will be repeated at the New Year’s eve celebration on the Twelfth street square. Jack and Jill are the hero and heroine and their adventures draw in all the Mother Goose children, Cin- derella and Prince Charming, Santa Claus and a host of § fairies and brownies. The matinee was arranged at the re- quest of many mothers who did not wish to bring their children downtown at night. Tickets are 15c for the entire balcony, 2c for the dress circle, 50c for parquet and $1 each for box seats. Tickets are on sale today and tomor- row morning at the Famous & Barr Co. and after 1 o’clock tomorrow at the Odeon. The Odeon has been donated for the performance, and proceeds over expenses will be devoted to the St. Vin- cent de Paul Society, Provident Associa- tion and the Jewish Alliance. OBJECTS TO HORSE SALES Writer Wants Humane Society to Stop War Shipments. Mayor Kiel today received a letter signed “Z. HK. Hydeeker, 1460 Cham- ‘bers street,” in which the writer urges that the Mayor ask the Hu- mane Society to stop the shipment of horses which are being sent to Europe “to be tortured to death in the war.” The writer says he Helleved wealthy members of the Humane Society could be induced to raise a fund out of which to pay horse owners not to ship their horses abroad while the war is on. The name Z. BE. Hydeeker is not in the city directory. The Holidays Are profitable if you use our Facsimii-+ Letters, Mailing Lists, ete. Deems, the Letter Man, 720 Olive st..

In donating. all the profits of their the Harvard Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, appearing in a great college con- cert at the Odeon on Thursday eve- ning, voluntarily have denied themselves the pleasure trip to New York City la- ter in the season which has been en- joyed in past years. It has been the custom for the profits of the Harvard Musical Clubs’ tours to go to the club treasuries, and a portion of the money thus realized has been used to defray the cost of a New York visit, during the course of which the young sons of Fair Harvard always have been brilliantly entertained and have had the best of good times. Now, however, under the terms of a special contract based upon the gener- ous offer of the Harvard Musical Clubs, the profits realized from this season’s tour go toward the relief of the Bel- gian war sufferers, and the members of the Harvard Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs are doing everything in their power to break all earlier Harvard rec- ords in the line of box office receipts from their concerts, in order that the total of their contribution to the Bel- gian Relief Fund may be as large as possible. This unselfish spirit is meeting with a splendid popular response, and all in- dications now are that the Odeon boxes, lower floor and balcony will be crowded to the doors at Thursday night’s con- cert, the gathering constituting one of the most brilliant society audiences seen in St. Louis in many years. Among the box holders on this occa- sion are Samuel C. Davis, Daniel K. Catlin, Samuel W. Fordyce Jr., George D. Markham, Thomas Akin, Arthur Wait, Robert Nelson, Robert Abeles, Archer O’Reilly, Lee Hagerman, E4d- ward Mallinckrodt Jr., 8. L. Swarts, Eugene Angert, Hugh McK. Jones, George Steedman (two boxes), Mrs. Lucy C. McKinley (two boxes), A. T. Per- kins, J. D. Filley, Mrs. Louis Chauve- net and Theron Catlin.

OBJECTS TO HORSE SALES Writer Wants Humane Society to Stop War Shipments. Mayor Kiel today received a letter signed “Z. KE. Hydeeker, 1460 Cham- bers street,” in which the writer urges that the Mayor ask the Hu- mane Society to stop the shipment of horses which are being sent to Europe “to be tortured to death in the war.” The writer says he helieved wealthy members of the Humane Society could be induced to raise a fund out of which to pay horse Owners not to ship their horses abroad while the war is on. The name Z. BE. Hydeeker is not in the city directory. The Holidays Are profitable if you use our Facsimii+ Letters, Mailing Lists, ete. Deems, the Letter Man, 720 Olive st..

The rings that controlled other cities when franchise-grabbing was most active were proba- bly just as corrupt as the one in St. Louis. The officials of those cities probably got just as much for their votes as St. Louis officials. Their trac- tion companies probably are just as slow about making extensions to new suburban districts, give just as inadequate service in rush hours, are about as heavily overcapitalized, require just as much prodding to force compiiance with franchise obligations, as our traction company. But why is it that traction conditions elsewhere, Delicate questions will be raised, the press dis- patches say, if Germany refuses longer to recog- nize the diplomatic and consular officers in Bel- gium who were accredited to King Albert’s Gov- ernment and demands that they be accredited to her own administrators in that country. They are indeed delicate. Compliance with the demand would be an admission by neutral coun- tries that the Germar occupation is permanent and would be most embarrassing to England and the allies.

Among things evidencing the practical strength of the South’s revolt from the one-crop idea is the opening of a packing plant at Moultrie, Col- quitt County, Ga. It furnishes a nearby, conven- ient market at which farmers may sell their live- stock on the hoof. Such markets, which are too few in the South, stimulate the raising of cattle and hogs by removing from the farm the great labor of preparing meats for the consumer and insuring that the preparation shall be made in accordance with the most economical and most sanitary methods, under Federal supervision. Livestock production in the South on a scale sufficient to enable it to supply its own needs would tend to check the increase in meats. Pro- duction on a scale enabling it to become a factor in the national supply would help in bringing aown the price. No reason exists why it shouid not become such a factor. Great areas of that section are admirably adapted to livestock raising under conditions rendering it more profitabie than on a certain solicitude for the welfare of the workingmen with votes? In even the McKinley franchise, granted during the period of uplift, this beneficent feature is missing. The lack here of certain traction concessions made as a matter of course elsewhere always causes amazement when comparisons are instituted. ed Doubtless geome citizens who have been indig- oS nant over the delays of the mill tax suit experi- “LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE enced a slight revulsion of feeling when the de- cision was handed down. Even a public-be- damned corporation in the role of the underdog, can inspire traces of sympathy. The judgment is rendered in a period of tem- porarily lessened traffic and the $2,000,000 or more in arrears seems to be a big sum to plank down just at this time. Besides, when the mill tax is added to the other taxes the United Railways pay, the company seems to contribute more in public revenue than at least certain traction properties elsewhere. But it must be remembered that during almost the entire 10 years the lawsuit was taking up the time Of the courts, the company was charging a double fare for rides which its franchise obligated it to give on a transfer for one fare. The sum thus illegally extorted would go far toward paying the mill tax. | And a much larger tax than that of 1 mill per cash passenger could be paid with the excess revenue, a8 compared with the revenues of other traction properties, which results from the denial of any concession whatever to ill-paid -working- SUNDAY - ‘176, 5310: 313,134 Bierest West of ie Masmeippi ere Se ee newspapers. is not a matter to internet toe Senaeel public, but ool, the friends ofthe ts.

And we did go, Mortimer bein’ away in the fields, and got into the cornhouse. It was to- wards dark, and we shook with the cold, though it was a warm day in June. We'd brought a bit of candle wi and Mig’ Johnson lit it, and then we saw—land sakes, child, how scairt you look; don’t get so near the fire, honey; you'll be all ablaze. Where was I? Oh. we saw the stone, fust as Johnnie said, a real gravestone of white marble, and on it the name ‘Melindy Barbour,’ with the date ‘Sept. 5, 18," below it. But the rest we couldn’t make out. ‘He’s going to let her Hve three months, may heaver forgive us,” says old Mis’ Johnson, meanin’ different from what she said. “The next day I went to Melindy, and told’ her the whole truth. And, would you believe it, she said she thought Mis’ Johnson and I had no business prying about other people’s affairs? ‘If he had bought me a thousand gravestones I'd have him just the same,’ says she. So they was married the next day in the meeting house, but Melindy was white as a ghost, and she trembled so shs could hardly walk. They went right away on the cars, and we threw som2 old shoes after ‘em, but all the wishin’ of joy was make believe, and I never saw a bride with such a white, set face, never looking at her husband nor yet at us. “They was away nearly three months; then they came back to the old house. folks said they wasn’t happy, tha: sh as as cold as a stone, and he was al s at his books and old insects. One day I got a letter askin’ me to come and see her. She was lyin’ down on a lounge when I got there, white and so thin, with big eyes, with a sorry, hungry look in ’em. But she had on a smart gown, and was as pretty as a pictur. As soon as we'd shaken hands and I'd taken off my bonnet and man- tilla, she says, ‘Do you know what day tomorrow is?’ Then I thought it up, and said it was the 5th of September ‘The day I am to die,’ she says in a soft, quiet way. Then I up and asked her if Mortimer had been ill-treatin’ her, but she put up her finger and said, ‘Not a word to my husband; he-doesn’t know I know it.’ Then she said he was awfui good to her, but she coultn’t get that gravestone out of her head day or night. All at once it came to me how matters was; she’d been too proud to give him up, besides her likin’ him, too; and she’d been too proud to tell him about it; and so betwixt the two the poor child was almost beat out. She asked if I would go otit to the corn- house with her to see the stone. She wanted to see it and was afraid to go alone. Mortimer Explains. a | HEN a queer thing happened. Mortimer had come into the next room while she’d been talkin’, and heard every word. I never saw anybody so stirred up as he was when he came in. ‘Is that tombstone what has stood between us?’ he said, and went on to explain that it had been ordered for his mother. He was such a bad writer that the stone-cutter mis- took the name Malviny for Melindy, and after the stone was half done it was found out, and they made him pay for it. So, as it was his, they brought it to him, and, not knowin’ what to do with it,-he’d just set it up in the cornhouse and forgot all about tt. Melindy, she began to cry, and then they fell to huggin’ and kissin’ each other, as if they hadn’t met for years.

You may be sure I shall do nothing to lose one minute of that time,” trying to smile at me, Jack had never appeared more manly, showed himself more worthy of love than he did during the dark hours of his trial He was gone. They had taken him away, and he had gone with a smile full of hope and trust—hope of the fu- ture; trust in me, who indirectly had been the cause of all our misery. My work and the hope he had instilled in me must keep me from indulging vain regrets for what was past. Of course, I was sad and very unhappy at times. But as far as lay in my power, I put all thoughts away, save those of the time when Jack should be free and we be together again. I realized that if I was to do good work for the man who had been so kind to me, I must not give way to my sorrow. The least I could do to repay him in part for all he had done for me was to give him of my best. To make my work for him as nearly perfect as possible and so relieve him as much as possible of the details of business. living in New York was easier for me in every way than it would have been at the Terrace or in any smaller town. The tragedies of lives are so frequent here that they are not so much wondered at, so much discussed. There is, it appeared to me, more un- derstanding of the frailties of human nature. And where there is even faint understanding there is always—perhaps unconsciously—sympathy. “They Were True Friends.” HLL and Rumsey Grant, Clifton and Gertie Cummings, had again proved their friendship by coming to the trial, and not only by coming, but by letting every one see that, al- though Jack might be convicted, they were no less his friends and had not lost faith in him. I wonder sometimes what I should have done without them —their presence, their moral support? Then, afterward, when Jack had been taken away, I shall never forget their kindness. | After all, I had much to be thankful for. I was. young, I had my health; my mother and the children; these dear friends, and the hope of a happy life with Jack when he should be free. How I planned for that time! How deter- mined I was to make myself so differ- ent from the cold, selfish Sue Coolidge of the past! How I tried to improve myself in every Way, so that I could be a wife indeed, when Jack should be free—a helpmeet and not a hindrance, as I had been formerly! We had on that long afternoon to- gether laid out a course of reading and study. that each should follow in case Jack was sent away. Naturally, I should not be able to give as much time te it as he could, but I determined to give every moment I free from my work and the sewing necessary to heep myself looking neat and making what I could for the children. Some- me ta eee eee ee ‘ASTHMA COUGHS SRAMCHITIS tumes I had only a few moments 1 could devete to my books, but it is astonish- ing how much one can accomplish if one is determined and if no social interests interfere, I had given up even going over to Nell’s and Gertie’s except occasionally. ' But they understood and were not of- fended, often coming over to spend an hour with me on Sunday and never fail- ing to bring me some delicany. “Kind, Good Mr. Flam.” R. FLAM was even more kind and VI considerate, if possible, than he had been before. My hours were short and my work congenial, yet at times I found myself unable to throw off my depression. One day when my sorrow seemed too great to bear, when my self-condemnation had made me un- utterably miserable, he remarked cas- ually, just as though Jack were away on a visit or a short vacation: “It will seem good to have Jack in the office again.”’ “You mean?” I stammered. Could it be possible? “That I intend to take him back? Cer- tainly! His old position will be wait- ing for him. I should have looked after him better. His father trusted me, you know.” ‘You mean that you will TRUST him again, as you did before? That you will give him faith in himself once more?’ I asked, scarcely believing. ‘‘Yes, Susan. And I am sure he.ywill deserve it. He is being tried as with fire, and will come out pure gold—or I ‘am much mistaken,” he said solemnly. I did not say any more, nor try to thank him. What was the usef Mere words could not express one tithe of what I felt, of what was in my heart. But I think that he understood, for as he left the room he laid his hand just a moment on my head, and said softly: “Tt is all right, Susan.”’ My depression all left me, and never from that date did it return in such gripping force. Of course, I had my bad hours, my bad days. But Mr. Flam still trusted Jack, he was to be given his old posi- tion once more. His task of reinstat- ing himself was being simpitfied for him. Others seeing Mr. Filam’s confidence, would perhaps not withhold theirs—not for long, at least. Then I wondered if Jack could endure the strain of facing those he had defrauded. “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof’ I re- membered as one of mother’s favorite quotations, and was a little comforted. At one time I could not think of the bitter days that followed Jack‘’s flight “from the Terrace, and“the still blacker ones after his imprisonment. My only wish was to forget. But much that seemed unbearable has been for my— for our—good. The sorrow, the suffer- ing, had brought to ¢ach of us its meea of understanding, and of wisdom.

Chapters From & | a Woman's Life . By Dale Drammond. Unele Sam Believes Peace and Prosperity Go Hand in Hand|q: NH HUNDRED years ago this menth representatives of the United States and of Great Britain Assembled in Ghent, Bel- gium, to sign the treaty which was to conclude officially the War of 1812 and to ~o»begin an area of peace between Hnglish-speak- ing people, which has not since been broken. When, in 1813, the Czar of Rus- sia offered his services as a mediator, President Madison quickly accepted and dispatched three commissioners to St. Petersburg, where they learned that England had refused. A year later HEn- gland made a direct offer for media- tion, and five American peace commis- sioners hurried to Ghent, arriving there on July 6, 1814. Then followed a weary half year of bartering for peace, En- giand demanding all but the surrender of independence from the United States. Hopeless of arriving at an understand- ing, the American authorities began to prepare for an extension of the war. Plans were laid for an increase of 100,- 000 men to the army, with the object of a complete conquest of Canada and its dependent territory as far as Hudson’s Bay and the Pacific. The era of in- stantaneous communication had not yet dawned, and consequently when the year 1815 began, Americans were un- aware that the war had been officially terminated at Ghent. Jackson fought and won the battle of New Orleans on Jan. 8 and a month later, the country was flooded with a million copies of a pamphlet which appealed to the people of the United Statés to prepare for a new campaign against the British and “to drive them from the American continent.’’ When the news of the signing of the treaty finally arrived the pamphlets were quietly suspended and forgotten. Today, while many nation of Burope Z are tearing at one another’s throats un- der the spell of international war, the United States is adding to its galaxy of treaties with other countries. The State Department at Washington has in its archives copies of treaties and interna- tional agreements which the United States has contracted with every sov- ereign nation on earth with the excep- tion of Uruguay, Montenegro and the sovereign principality of Monaco. Among these historic documients is the Treaty of Ghent in its cover of red velvet, Here, too, is the first treaty ever con- tracted by Americans with a foreign u.ation—the treaty of 1778, signed by the French King Louis before our national independence had been established. Written on’ parchment in both French and Einglish, it is today preserved in a round béx of solid silver on the top of which is the private seal of the French, King. But chief of them all is the his- toric Treaty of Paris which gave the United States its existence as a nation and officially closed the American Revo- lution. Written upon parchment in a flowing business hand, it is signed “George R,” bears ribbons finished off with tassels of red silk and gold cord, and is now preserved in a silver re- ceptacle six inches in diameter. Be- sides these peace treaties there are hun- dreds of treaties, agreements, conven- tions and protocals which in subject range from friendship, commerce and navigation, and arbitration of disputes likely to lead to’ war, to the suppression of slave traffic, the right to hold real estate in Turkey, and the regulation of liquor trafifc with Siam. ‘The Heart of Midlothian” was not original with Sir Walter Scott. The name was first applied to the old jail :n Edinburgh, which is the capital of Mid- lothian County. The jail was torn down in 1817. ind Sk . SS. ac queme.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureav of the (Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dee. v8.—Charges, which a French maid, a child danger- ously ill with scarlet\fever and an al- leged confession figure,* are made in a divorce suit filed in White Plains by Mrs. Gladys Oussani, wife of Josepr Oussani, a millionaire cigarette manu facturer and next door neighbor to Jokr D. Rockefeller at Pocantico Hills. : The action was brought more than e fortnight ago through James E. Durass., an attorney, but so mucn secrecy was observed that alimony was awarded by Supreme Court Justice Mills before an inkling of the suit became public. Du- rass and others connected with the matter maintained the strictest silence. The defendant is one of the three Oussani brothers—Joseph, Peter and Yak-—who came here from Persia about 20 years ago and amassed a fortune imported Turkish cigarettes and run- ning such questionable places as the Cairo, in West Twenty-ninth street, and the Chibouk, on Broadway.

As a result Ous- sani offered to sell the property to the Foreign Catholic Missionaries’ Society. This created alf®ust as much of a storm, and Rockefeller agreed to take title. When he came to exercise his option, however, he found himself in a lawsuit with the Catholic Society. The action is still pending. In her complaint Mrs. Oussani says she is Joseph’s second wife and that it was because of her devotion to one of his two small children by a former marriage that her husband strayed from the beaten path. The child had scar- let fever, she sets forth, and. feeling it her duty to give the lHttle one every care, she established a hospital on the second floor of the house and went into quarantine, One night early last November, when the child was still geverely ill, Mrs, Ous- sani heard raspings on a wall. Next night come more rappings. This con- tinued until Nov. 20, when she deter- mined to investigate. Robing herself in a germ proof gown she crept down the stairs and ap- proached the door of her husband’s room. Hearing voices within she quiet- ly opened the door. She asserts she found her husband and her maid, Rose Fracque, there. In a supporting affidavit the maid says that in the first week in November Oussani sent for her and accomplished her downfall. N“sereafter she made re- peated visits ta nis room, because she feared his anger if she refused. On the night of Oct. 20, in answer to rap- pings on the wall, she made her usual visit, but, feeling a premonition of dis- covery, she begged Oussani to lock the door. He laughed at her, but a few minutes later Mrs. Oussani entered the room, Leaves When Child Recovers. Mrs. Oussani says that on Nov. 27, as ef, goon as the child was convalescent, she left the house and came to New York, where she has since lived with relatives. In her application for alimony Mrs. Oussani asserts her husband has great wealth. She was governess for his chil- dren following the death of his first wife. She gives a long list of apart- ment houses and business buildings owned by her husband, in an effort to impress the court that he is financially able to. maintain her well. In March, 1910; the body of Peter Oussani was found on the railroad track between Briarcliff Manor and Pocan- tico Hills. Murder was suspected, but a long investigation brought no tangi- ble clews. “ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY. “ACTOIDS” Do Not Gripe Nor Sicken.

Lawrence Hanlon, 32. years old, was shot at 9 o'clock last night at 42 North Third street, East St. Louis, by his wife, Mrs. Rose Hanlon, 28 years old, who says he demanded money, threatened her with a poker and was Choking her and trying to take , the revolver from her. He died in an ambulance on the way to the Henrietta Hospital. Mrs. Hanlon says that four years ago she donned men’s clothes and ‘“hoboed” with her husband to Okla- homa. He left her after that and she has been conducting a disorderly house in East St. Louis. Hanlon, she said, came to her from time to, time for money. She finally told him not to come any more. He returned last night and went to the back door and demanded money. She refused and locked the door. He went to the ffont door before she could lock it and entered. She took a revolver from a dresser drawer and he picked up a poker. As be started toward her she says she fired, but missed. He dropped the poker, she Says, and tried to wrest the revolver from her with one hand while choking her with the other. As he was twisting her hand she pulled the trigger and ‘he was shot in the left breast. The woman ie locked up at the East St. Louis po- lice station.

At Federal League Park, the game between the St. .Leos and Hyde Park Blues of Chicago, resulted into a battle of fists which reached such proportions that it was necessary for policemen to separate the belligérents and for the referee to call the game before the full time limit had been reached. Two mombers of the Chicago eleven were laid low, and it is thought that one of the ge Patterson, suffered a severe The.

Here the battle occurred between the Ben Miller Juniors and the Sheehan Tallors. Over a dozen players participated in the fight. Referee Bas- — stopped the milling, and, after sev- f the scrappers had been re- oad te the game continucd., Municipal Players Hurt. In keeping with the disastrous day, a number of players of Municipal Leaguo teams suffered injuries, as a result of the ice-covered fields. How- ever, “Buddy” White, left tullfback of Columbian Ath thletic Club eleven, was the only severe sufferer. White, in an attempt to boot the ball out o his territory, slipped and slid on the ice, his knee hitting an fron bench on y side lines. His left knee was bad- ly cut, a wound three inches iong be- ing inflicted. It was necessary fcr a doctor to stitch it tegether. White will not be able to piay again this season. The Robison Field League, where the Innisfails clashed with the Ham- fiton (Ontario) team, seemed to be the only soccer field free from dis- tasteful or unfortunate occurrences. And even here the game proved to be so one-sided, the final result be- ing 8 to 0 in favor of the locals, that the spectators probably went home somewhat gruntle ** | Local Teams Outplay Visitors.

This hoe ag was made, Klosterman admitted, in hope of reimbursi Evans for his financial losses in bringing the All-Stars here the past week. E\vans’ share of the gate receipts in the three games was $86.50. His expenses were estimated, conservatively, at a showing a net loss of around Klosterman d he was unable “i say today hat action would be taken as the result of the fist eg which marred Sunday’s game. ’s inclined to think, however, that the matter will not be seri- ously conside let '¢ equ unt of the paid admissions at the val park is 750. After payin the expensts of the Canadians Warne their stay, togwether with their rail- road fare, the North Side promoters found themselves $39.40 in the hole. The ark magnates dealt dif- ferently with Jack Evans and his all- stars, the finances working on + wer- centage basis. When it came time to settle, St. Louis received $86.50 net profit. The Illinoisang paid rail- road fare ahd a three-day hotel bill for 16 meniout of $154, their “bit.” Consequently it may be seen that no one became wealthy on the two three- bame series.

Is One Question Answered. | By Bozeman Bulger. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—That a left- handed batter does not necessarily hit better against a right-handed pitcher, and that southpaws are no cinch for a right-handed walloper, as is gener- ally believed, is proven conclusively in an’ interesting bunch of #tatistics just handed out by the Federal League, In compiling the batting averages against both left-handed and _right- handed pitching, the ‘outlaw” or- ganization has sprung an innovation. When Al Shaw was with the Giants, for instance, it was believed that he was weak against left-handed pitchers, and for that reason he was seldom sent against them in a pinch. But look at this: The official figures of the Federal League show that during a season’s work Shaw, though left-handed at the bat, hit the left-handers for an av- erage of .437, while the best he could do against right-handers was That’s quite a batting average either way, incidentally. Chase Weak Against Kithogues. Hal Chase, on the other hand—the other meaning right-hand—hits better against right-handed pitching than against southpaws. Against the star- board side boys he knicked the record for an average of .339. Againuet left- handed—supposed to be his meat—he only got .326. ae the case of two players well known to New York fans we Tind that McGraw had pretty nearly the right dope on Otis Crandall and Arthur Wil- ‘son. Always they were used for pinch hitters against southpaws. Against the right-handers in the Federal League, Crandall hit for .308, while against the southpaws he hung up an average of .417. Wilson hit in about the same ra- tio. Against right-handers he hit .280, an average-of .316. A peculiar twist to these averages is that Benny Kauff, the League lead- er, though left- handed hitter, did much better against the southpaws than against the right-handers. He hit bg left-handers—his own kind—for while against right-handers he yo down to .

By Leased Wtre From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Dec. 28.—The Evening Pcst, in its copyrighted financial review today says: “The two most important events of the day were the striking decline in fcreign exchange rates, to the lowest level touched for a year, and the very general gains in prices on the Stock Exchange, with net advances of from 1 to % points, The upward movement |, of security prices was well sustained, and while it was not on a very large volume of business, it took in most of the active shares and notably those in which the public is often interested. ‘This advance naturally led to better sentiment and helped the whole market. Strength was pronounced in such stocks as Union Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison, Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania and some of the copper shares. The move- ment in United States Steel attracted gereral attention, with good buying on the advance. In the last hour the market held its strength and many of the standard shares sold at or near their high level for the day. ‘There was no news to affect the market other than the rather vague report that some of the buying orders were of European origin. ere Was nothing, however, on which to base svtch stories. On the other hand, there were no selling orders to speak of from abroad. Reading was one of the strong- es: stocks at the close. Money Market Is Easy. “So far as the money market was concerned, a suggestive development was the difficulty experienced by banks in employing the money that they had to lend on time. Most of the brokerage houses declined to take time money owing to the very low rates prevailing for call loans. Al- cROmeR quotations were not lowered, the for the four and six months’ periods. “Some of the local banks within the last few days have paid in addi- tional sums to the subtreasury for the account of banks in other cities that had to surrender their emer- gency notes, because of the difficulty employing them any longer to good advantage. “There was also a broad demand for mercantile paper from banks in this and other cities, and it was evi- =~ that the banks would have taken a ereat deal more ys oe! than was offered if they coul ave procured the names that they wanted. “Some very large payments were being negotiated in connection with the demand for the year-end dividend an interest disbursements. These will exceed $225,000,000 during Janu- ary, but there is every § indication that they will be financed without difficulty, owing to the large amount of money which the banks have and which they cannot employ to advan- tage at this time. “The market for short-term loans was dull, but prices held at about the highest level of the year. The nego- tiations of the day showed we that some large loans would be put out within a week or two by corpo- arge lending institutions had difficulty in putting out much money BU NGALOWS AN iD COTTAGES — Cea “SOUTH COIS we ae COTTAGE—For sale. 4634 Idaho. 4 room brick, $2390; cash or time payments.

The movement reflected large offerings of bills by verious banking interests, which had accumulated exchange in anticipation of having a broad demand for it, in con- nection with meeting the end-of-the year remittances. But no such inquiry developed this year, and it was evident at the opening of the -market a week ago that the supply of “London bills was far in excess o fthe demand. “Today’s iow level of 4.8 for sight drafts, compared with 485% on Satur- day, 4.87 a week ago, 4.87% two weeks ago, 4.87% three weeks ago, and 4.89% a month ago. What is. more, it is now at the level of a year ago, so that it can be said that the market is virtually nerma! once more. *“‘No such low price for London bills has been touched since the close of December, 1913. The movement naturally led to a discussion regarding a possible resumption of gold imports in the near future. On this point there was nothing in the foreign advices to throw much light, but the indications were that some attempt would be made in the near future to get back a portion of the gold sent to Ottawa since the be- ginning of the war. Owing to the sharp fall in rates, the xold fund committee has ceased opera- ticns fo rthe time being, and the chances are that it will not make any further sales of exchange. The decline in ex- change excited general attention to- day among bankers here and abroad. DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING ON WALL STREET NEW YORK,’ Dec. 28.—The firmer ten- dency noted at ‘the conclusion of last week’s . erations’ in the stock market was con- tinued today, a number of leading issues adding to the recoveries of that period. The most significant among these was United mpatas teel, which advanced to 49, a point ve its minimum. Bethlehem Steel rose 2 poe Adhd to its best price for .~ bay tenes oe hind. Trading was in the first half hour, of last Saturday Further im rovewient and greater activity were recorded with the progress of the early session, Steel going to 49% with gains of % to 3 points over last Saturday in other important shares. The demand, according to popular belief, came from other sources besides the short interest, the theory being prevalent that she market had been over- sold, mainly because of the foreign situation. Brokers with European affiliations were re- eevee list. Interest in conditions abroad was heightened by another decline in London exchange to the lowest point of the vear. Bonds were firm. Further short covering was resorted to when it was seen that the weakness in isolat- ed issues had no effect on the more sea- soned stocks. The closing was strong. Cotton Market Shows NEW YORK.
