JUSTICE LAMM TO RETIRE United Railways’ Motion to Be Offered Despite Expiration of Calendar 10-Day Limit. The United Railways Co.’s. motion for a rehearing of the $2,500,000 mill tax case by the State Supreme Court will be filed tomorrow. Former Judge H. ®. Priest, counsel for the company, has taken the position that period of 10 days legally allowed for the filing o1 the motion does not include Sundays and holidays. Under this con- struction, he would be within the limit by filing the motion tomorrow, as two Sundays and Christmas day have inter- vened. He might even wait until Sat- urday, the day after another holiday, New Year's day. If a strict interpretation, limiting the time to 10 calendar days, is insisted on, then the time limit expired last night. Court’s Position in Doubt. The court has not indicated its posi- tion on this question, but J. D. Allen, clerk of the court, showed his view when he said, yesterday, that he would present to the court any motion which might arrive in this morning’s mail, with a postmark showing that it had been mailed in St. Louis yesterday. This was taken to mean that he would not present it if it should come later. The importance of a few days’ delay, in the motion for a rehearing, lies chief- ly in the fact that the membership of the court changes this week, with the close of the year 1914. Judge Henry Lamm will retire from the membership of the court at midnight Thursday, and will be succeeded by Judge-elect James T. Blair. Judge Lamm was one of the four Judges who decided the mill tax case in the city’s behalf, with a dissenting mi- nority of three. After his retirement the six old members of the court will stand three to three onthe case, and the balance of power will apparently rest with the new Judge. tmmediate Action ‘Not Usual. Yf Priest’s motion is presented tomor- row, and passed on immediately, Judge Jamm will have a voice in passing on it. If it is taken under advisement, and thus goes over until Saturday or later, Judge Lamm will not figure in the de- cision. To pass immediately on a mo- tion of this importance is not custom- ary in the Supreme Court. If a rehear- ing is granted, it will take place at some future time, before the newly consti- tuted court, with Judge Blair as a mem- ber. . Biair was electe@ at the November @lection for a 10-year term. He is a Democrat. and lives in Maysville, De Kalb County. Lamm is a Republican, and lives in Sedalia. Judges Blair was born Tenn. He is 48 years old. He came to Missouri at the age of 10. He was educated in the public schools of De Kalb County and at Cumberland Uni- versity. He was president of Obion Col- jege in 189% and 1896. He regided in Springfeld from 1903 to 1908. He represented De Kalb County in the Legisiature in 1899. In 1909 he was ap- pointed as Assistant Attorney-General by Gov. Major, who then was Attor- ney-General. In 1911 he was appointed by the Supreme Court a Supreme Court Commissioner for a term. of four yeurs. A Commissioner serves in the same ca- At the time of hia appointment as Assistant Attorney-General he was practicing law in Maysville. Judge Brown, Republican, of Freder- fecktown, Judge Woodson, Democrat, of Bt. Joseph, and Judge Walker, Demo- erat, of St. Louis, decided with Lamm im behalf of the city, Walker writing the opinion, while Judge Woodson wrote @ separate concurring opinion. ‘Three Judges Who Dissented. The three who dissented were Judge Graves, Democrat, of Butler; Judge Faris, Democrat, of Caruthersville, and Judge Bond, Democrat, of St. Louis. Judge Woodson’s term expires two years hence. The other present mem- bers of the court have from 4 to 8&8 years still to serve. Priest, in an interview several days ago, cited precedents to show that only court days, and not calendar days, counted in computing time for the fil- ing of rehearing motions. He said tc- day that he bad the opinions of F. N. Judson and Benjamin Schnurmacber that his position was correct. Not only does precedent favor a lib- @ral censtruction of the 10 days’ limit, Priest said, but the Suprem. Court has decided that it may entertain a motion for a rehearing at any time during the game term of court. The present term of the Supreme Court continues until the in Loudon, _ the second Tuesday of next April. Priest Tella of Work.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 30.—For- mer President Taft in a letter to anoth- er Yale professor discussed profanity in connection with golf. Though an ardent golfer, Prof. Taft is not ambitious to become an expert in the vocai branch of the game. i “IT think golf is one of the greatest games for the promotion of health of men of 45 that I know of;’’ he wrote. “‘It is an admirable form of exercise; it is consistent with social enjoyment; it trains one in self-restraint; it intro- duces one to nature in its most attrac- tive form, and it has no bad results, ex- cept that in-the outset it may tempt to profanity. “This, however, is of short duration with a man of any sense, because he finds that the less he resorts to profan- ity and impatience the better his score.”’ EARTH 100,000,000 YEARS . OLD, SCIENTIST DECLARES Missing Link Between Man ana Ape Found, Another Maen Says at Geological Convention. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.—That the éarth is about 100,000,000 years old is on® of the deducti@ns of George F. Becker of the United States Geological Survey, presented in a paper read last night at a meeting of the Geological Society of America. Radial activity is confined to a relatively thin zone in the upper crust of the earth, he declared. The missing link between man and his ape-like ancestors has been identi- fied in the pithecanthropus’- erectus, whose skull, found in Java, showed all the characteristics intermediate between man and ape, according to James H. McGregor, associate professor of zoolc- gy at Columbia University. He present ed a series of restorations of skulls and reproductions of the appearance of prim- itive men. Dr. F. W. Shipley of Washington Uni- versity, St. Louis, was elected president of the Council of the Archeological In- stitute of America, at a meeting of that body, in connection with the convention of the association for the advancement of science. WAR INCREASES SUICIDES Chicago Coroner Says Germans Werry Over Relatives at Front. CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—Worry over the European war has resulted in a large in- creese in the number of suicides in Chi- cago, according to a report yesterday by Coroner Peter M. Hoffman. In Septem- ner there was an increase of 24 over September of last year, and in Novem- ber an increase of .-.. “Records show that a number of these suicides were natives of Germany who became despondent through worry over the safety of their relatives ani friends called into aciion in the German ar.rv,”’ Coroner Hoffman said ‘There was not a marked increase among any other of the nationalities whose countries are engaged in the war.” = paper in St. Louis that receives or publishes gmewe gathered by the Associated Presa MISSING MAN IN The Post-Disratch ts the only evening news- CHARGE OF $1000 A MONTH RENTALS Half-Brother Says Robert G. Crow Handled Caruthersville Property of Californian. ei CONFERS WITH THE POLICE Declares He Knew of Insurance Agent’s Association With a Divorcee. Robert G. Crow, missing insurance agent and former postmaster of Ca- ruthersvile, Mo., was in charge of rent collections for an absentee owner of real estate in Caruthersville, amount- ing to about $1000 a month. This was made known by his half-brother, Elbert Crow of Monett, Mo., a railway mail clerk, who arrived in St., Louis today to aid in the search for Crow. According. to the half-brother, Robert Crow represented a man living in Long Beach Cal., who is a large owner of residence and business property in Ca- ruthersville. He has been in charge of this man’s rent collections for several vears, Elbert Crow said, but Elbert did. not know how the account with the Cal- ifornia man _ stood. Insuranee Accounts O K. St. Louis district officials of the New York Life Insurance Co., which Robert Crow represented in Southeast Missouri, have stated that his accounts with the company appeared to be in good shape. Elbert Crow wired from Monett yes- terday that he could give the police val- uable information about his missing Palf-brother. What he had in mind, it developed after his arrival, was infor- mation regarding Robert Crow’s asso- ciation with Mrs. Bessie Halliday of Iilmo, Mo. Mrs. Halliday had already -old the police as much as they cared to hear about her acquaintance with the missing man. Elbert Crow’s statement as to Robert’s financial responsibilities came incidentally, as the answer to a chance inquiry. Wife Didn’t Suspect. Elbert Crow, who was assistant under Robert Crow in the Caruthersville Post- office, said Robert Crow's association with the woman had been known to a number of his acquaintances, but not to his. wife.

BOUGIE—A long piece of small hard rub- ber of cylindrical shape, silver City hospital physicians this morning performed a peculiar operation on Isaac Corley, 69 years old, of 306 Miller street, to determine why he could not retain solids in his stomach. According to the physicians, Corley was slowiy starving to death. He was received at the hospital Mon- day, and this morning the operation was decided upon. An esophagoscope, 20 inches long and three-fourths of an inch in diameter, was forced down his throat after the physicians, by means of a bougie, had discovered a partial stoppage in the esophagus. At the upper end of the esophagoscope was a tiny electric bulb, from which liht was reflected down the esophagus. Through this the physicians saw a stricture of the cardia, which prevent- ed the cardia from performing its usuai function of contracting and relaxing to permit food to pass into the stom- ach and keeping it there. To perform the operation the physi- clans placed Corley in a sitting posi- tion on the footrest of a dentist's chair. He leaned forward and threw his head back to enable the physicians to have free access to his throat with their instrument. The operation §re- quired 45 minutes. Not Given Anesthetic. Corley was not given an anesthetic. The physicians described the operation as being more disagreeable than pain- ful, though when the esophagscope touched the stricture of the cardia, Cor- ley was in considerable pain. The physicians said that having learned the exact cause of Corley’s con- dition, they would be able to treat him and correct the condition. They said there were several treatments they could use, but that they had not determined which to adopt. DUNNE FOR SIMPLIFIED SPELLING State Governor Addresses Teachers’ Association. SPRINGFIELD, Ii, Dee. 30.—Gov. Hdward F. Dunne told the Illinois State Teachers’ Association at its opening ses- rion here Jast night that he favored the adoption of a system of simplified spell- ing. He said the adoption of such a system would. shorten the ordinary child’s course in school at least one year. ‘*Tell me why,’ he asked, “a child or anyone, for that matter, should be com- pelled to write ‘ph’ instead of ‘f,’ or two ‘e's,’ when one will do.” Illinois Why not dispose of that discarded furniture through a Post-Dispatch Want jad ULYMPIG JUMPER SUD AIS MEDALS, ATFIDAVITS SAY Platt Adams, Member of U. S. Team That Went to Sweden May Forfeit Prizes. Evening Mail publishes today two aff!- davits which charge that Platt Adams, champion amateur athlete and allround | meets. ' Athletic Union, jumper, has pledged and received money for some of his prizes won at anwfateur Under the rules of the Amateur this, if true, would change Adams’ status to that of a pro- fessional. The charge against Adams would make his case somewhat similar to that of James Thorpe, who, after he had been proved to be a professional, was forced to return his Olympic prizes. In its story the Evening Mail calis upon Adams to produce all the medals and trophies he has won since his connec- tion with the New York Athletic Club In one of the affidavits T. I. Glynn swears that on Jan. 9, 1914, Adams sold him (Glynn) one of his prizes, a gold ring with a small diamord in it. For this Glynn says he paid $%. During the fall of 1912 and up to March, 1914, Glynn further swears he frequently accom- panied Adams to a downtown jeweler, where, in his presence, the jeweler “would accept Adams’ prizes, which, I understood, were to be credited to Ad- ams’ account.” Peter Lawrence Schenck, in the sec- ond affidavit, asserts that he bought a ring from Adams which Adams said Was a first prize. Schenck further etates that Adams had in his (Schenck’s) place of business at various times num- bers of medals and cups which he said he was going to take to a certain jew- eler. ” A third affidavit by Max Theimer, an employe in the office where Adams is employed, is to the effect that Adams said he had a case full of prizes which he wanted to sell, and related some in- stances where he had disposed of prizes to advantage. F. W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, said the affidavits had been brought to his at- tention and that he would issue the in- structions necessary to bring about an investigation by the Registration Com- mittee. BANDITS ROB ALL PASSENGERS IN TWO SLEEPERS OF TRAIN SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. %.—Two masked men boarded the west bound Sunset Express on the Galveston, Har- risburg & San Antonio Railway near Cline, Tex., early today, and at the point of pistols robbed all of the pase- engers in the two rear sleepers. Near Spofford, Tex., they gave an aircord signal for the train to stop and es- caped. A posse, organized by officers aboard the train, started in pursuit. The men boarded the rear sleeper as the train was leaving Cline, roused the porter, forced him to awaken the passengers and as fast aa’ the latter left their berths they were robbed. Many of them carried considerable sums of money besides jewelry. It is believed the robbers will be cap- tured, as the roughness of the country makes it difficult for them to flee rap- jidly.

Kavanaugh, president of the Southern Coal and Mining Co., and former president of the Wiggins Ferry Co., obtained a divorce from Edna Lee Kavanaugh in YJudge Grimm’s court today. Thes-axere-mar- ried Aug. 21, 1890, and separated March 1, 1913. Kavanaugh alleged desertion and the suit was not con- tested. ; Kavanaugh testified that in March, 1913, against his will he arranged for a trip to Europe for his wife. and their daughter, Sarah, who is now married. Mrs. Kavanaugh, he said, never returned to him and he has heard from her only indirectly through their growl son, J. Boggs Kavanaugh. Walker Hill, president of the Me- chanics-American National Bank, and James Lockwood, secretary of the Southern Coal and Mining Co., testi- fied as character witnesses for Kava- naugh. Kavanaugh’s attorney, George A.’ H. Mills, introduced in evidence a letter which he Mceived from Mrs. Kavanaugh after he notified her that Kavanaugh was preparing to sue for a divorce. .In this letter Mrs. Kavanaugh said: “Mr. Kavanaugh has long known of my determination. In the spring of 1912, soon after I went, I informed him I would never return. Nothing has cause me to change my mind. You say he has di- rected you to file suit for divorce. That is a matter for him to decide. The suggestion of such action in no way af- fects my decision, which is irrevocable.” Before granting the decree, Judge Grimm called Kavanaugh before the bar and told him it was the custom of the court to grant divorces only when it was shown the plaintiff was an injured and innocent party. “I belleve I am entitled to a di- vorce,”” said Kavanaugh. “I considered it four or five years before filing the suit, but I didn’t like to take the step. I know of no reason for our domestic trouble, except that my wife is young- er than I am.

Liabilities were given as $34,000 and as- sets as $78,000. Fiske is the husband of Minnie Maddern Fiske, for whom many of his plays were produced. The first intimation that Mr. Fiske was in financial difficulties came last night when his newest production, which opened - week ago in a Broadway playhouse, closed abruptly. In 2 years, Mr, Fiske, as author or manager, has been interested in some of America’s most popular productions, and of re- cent years he has managed a 4eren or more well-known stars . “CHARGED” MEALS FINED $500 EACH Three I. W. W. Members Said ‘Public Fund” Should Settle; Others “‘Dined on Mayor.” ep ero Seven members of the I. W. W. were fined $500 each by Judge Hogan in Po- lice Court this morning for disturbing the peace in eating a meel in a restau- rant and refusing to pay. Alex Nicholi, Frank Walmut and Tom Lacy, who ate yesterday afternoon ‘'n Mike Leontsimi’s restaurant, 10 North Eighteenth street, varied the customary I. W. W. formula after egting a round dollar's worth of food by saying, “Charge it to the public fund.” Walter Carroll, Frank Fisher, Green and Jochim Storzenfels, who dined at the Victoria restaurant, 106 North Sixth street, used the more fa- miliar phrase, ‘Charge it to the Mayor,” when time came to pay for $1.0 worth of food. When arraigned in court they said that they were hungry, and penniless. There was no testimony to show that they were abusive or loud in their lan- guage. The fine of $500 imposed upon each is the maximum for disturbing the peace. Jo Made His Own Lawéeé. When Storzenfels took the stand he was asked to spell his name and as he did so one of the spectators laughed so loud that he was ejected, although he informed his ejectors in a loud voice as he was hustled out of the doorway that “this is a free country.” Storzenfels, who came from Germany &@ year ago, said he didn’t believe in laws. In fact, he said that he made his own to fit the occasion. “Wouldn't you go back and fight for the Fatherland?” Judge Hogan asked. “No. That would be suicide,” he re- plied. Here City Attorney Garesche remarked that he would place the man’s case in the hands of Federal authorities, to de- termine whether or not he should be de- ported as an undesirable alien. In thig case he would doubtless have to fight for the Fatherland whether he desired or not. Must Serve 167 Days. On previous occasions, when members of the Il. W. W. were haled into this court for having told restaurant pro- prietors to “charge it to the Mayor,” Judge Hogan, who is Mayor Kiel’s son- in-law, assessed small fines at first. and then reached the $8300 mark. Those sentenced today will have to stay in the workhouse for 167 days to pay the fines given them, as under the new charter prisoners are allowed 33 a day on their fines for each day's work in the workhouse.

By Associated Press. ’ LONDON, Dec. 30.—Russian assertions that an important victory has been won over the Austrian forces in Galicia were confirmed today in an, official statement from Vienna, in which the admission is to retreat along the entire eastern front. [It is said the situation to the north, in Poland, is not affected by this reversal, although Petrograd asserts the move- ment of the main German army has been checked with losses described as enor- saw, has now become the Yser of the east; on it®@banks the Germans have been sacrificing thousands of men as they did in Belgium on the Yser.. ‘“e crossing which they forced at siceh a has now been nullified, according to dis- patches from Petrograd, the Russians having dreven the invaders back to the west bank of the river. In the western arena of the war the allies continue. to claim slow progress, but the offensive, started about the mid- dle of December, has noticeably slack- ened, a fact which Berlin, accepting the order issued by Gen. Joffre, the French Commander in Chief, on Dec. 17 as bona fide, declares, means the failure of the attempted allied advance. Even some of the British newspapers call attention to the marked decrease in the vigor of the French, British and Belgium thrusts at the German line, but they add that the reason for this soon — will be disclosed. Austria’s defeat at the hands of Ser- via apparently has been followed by renewed activity on the part of Monte- negro, whose troops have carried the fighting to Austrian soil in Hersego- vina, and are now undertaking a vigor- ous offensive movement. The Vienna War Office states that the Montenegrin attacks thus far have been repulsed easily. Russia's claim to a victory of the Turks in the Caucasus is disputed by reports which reached Berlin from Con- stantinople saying that the Turks have won “another success" and are pursuing the retreating Russians. It is also said at Constantinople that another British attempt to land troops in Arabia failed. : Russians Capture 60,000 Austrians ia Firat Half of December.

BRUNO GARIBALDI, grandson of the Italian hero, was killed while leading a brilliant charge of the Italian vol- unteers, according to an announce- ment just made here. The charge in which Garibaldi met his death occurred in the Argonne region and resulted in the capture of two Ger- man trenches. A tablet has been placed in the Court of Appeals in Paris, on which is inscribed the names of # attor- neys practicing in that court who have fallen in battle. ROME, Dec. %.—Meager dis- patches received in Rome regard- ing the death in France of Lieut. ‘Bruno Garibaldi, grandson of the Italian hero, indicate that Lieut. Garibaldi commanded a company which charged a German position at the point of the bayonet, and dislodged the Germans from their trenches. Garibaldi was wotnded when the fighting was heaviest. He was given first aid and then returned to the head of his sol- Giers. While urging his men in their pursuit of the Germana, the young Italian was struck a sec- ond time.

OFFICE S. PROTEST: HOPES FOR A SETTLEMENT Official Says Relaxation of Interference With Cargoes Depends on Scandinavia’s Suc- cess in Preventing Reshipment. LONDON, Dec. 30.—The note sent by. the United States to Great Britain pro- {testing against the action of British warships in detaining and seizing car- goes in American vessels is now under consideration at the British Foreign Of- fice, where no intimation is given as to when a reply may be expected. During the afternoon Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, held a conference with David Lioyd- George, the Chancellor of the Ex- Chequer; Reginald McKenna, Secretary of Home Affairs; Walter Runciman. president of the Board of Trade, and Bir Francis Hopwood, Civil Lord of the Admiralty, on the subject of the Amer- ican note. A frank discussion of the note by British officials shows that they regard it as friendly and they do not believe the differences between America and Great Britain are such that they can- not be reconciled satisfactorily. Much Depends on Scandinavia. Much depends on the effective effort on the part of Denmark, Holland, Nor- way and Sweden to prevent the reship- ment to Germany and Austria-Hungary of cargoes received from the United States. Until water-tight réguilations are put in force in these countries, little hope, it is understood, is held out by the British Government for relaxa- tion in the matter of searching Ameri- can cargoes. One prominent British official point- ed out that Italy; has effectively checked contraband shipments to Aus- tria-Hungary and Germany with the result that Great Britain is not stop- ping ships destined for Italy unless there appears special reason to suspect fraudulent consignments. : A guarantee by the United States as to the honesty of bills of consignment and the enactment of strict regula- tions for the severe punishment of fraud, granting that the American Government could find satisfactory means of. making such a guarantee, is admitted by this prominent official as a possible step which might cause a relaxation in the search of American cargoes. British officials call attention to the lenient attitude adopted by the British Gowernment toward American cotton, which they say might easily be re- garded as contraband, because of its ex- tensive use in guncotton, but which fas not been put on the contraband list. They say this leniency toward cotton, however, has been abuéed by shippers who used it to conceal copper and other contraband. Note Recefved Today. The official information bureau today gave out the following statement: “There is no truth in the statement that the note of the United States Gov- ernment on the subject of interference of trade was presented by the Ameri- can Ambassador through Lord Haldane at the Foreign Office yesterday. Sir hd- ward Grey has been away for a few days. During his absence, at his re- quest and with the approval of the Prime Minister, Lord Haldane todk charge of the Foreign Office. The note from the United States Government has only been received today.” The American protest is the subject of the leading editorial articles in vir- tually all the London evening papers and it continues to attract much atten- tion in the diplomatic field. The press unanimously calls attention to the friendliness of the note, in spite of its firmness, and expresses the belief that ground for an understanding with the United States soon will be reached. Semi-Official View. It {is contended everywhere that mu- tual good will surely bridge the difficulty and obviate further irritation. “We have no right to feel aggrieved because of the American endeavors to mitigate the losses which the war in- flicts on the merchants and manufactur- ers of that country,” says the West- minster Gazette. This newspaper, more than any other, reflects the views of the Government. It contends that it is to the interests of neutrals as well as belligerents to shorten the war, and that therefore neutrals should eubmit to atony reasonable restrictions which are likely to have this effect. ‘Why doesn’t the United States ad- dress its remonstrance to Germany and Austria, instead of Great Britain?!’ asks the Westminster Gazette, and an- swers its own question by explaining that command of the sea permits France and Great Britain alone to ex- ercise the right of searching and de- taining neutral ships. — Stating that the right of search is con- ceded in the American note, the West- minster Gazette admits that this right should be exercised with all possible re- gard to the convenience of neutrals. It suggests that it would be well for the British Government to supply daily to the American Ambassador a list of the ships stopped with a statement of the reasons therefor so that questions aris- ing in this connection might be adjust- ed at once. Similar information might be given.to American newspaper corre- spondents in London. The Westmin- ster Gazette says it feela sure that in- structions will be given to avoid deten- tion of ships on mere suspicion, and that if such searches as can be con- ducted at sea fail to reveal good ground for forcible detention such action will not be resorted to. To prevent Great Britain from check- ing shipment of copper to Germany would in effect be American interven- tien on the side of Germany, this news- paper contends.-. It absolves Washing- ton from any such intention and points out that if the difficulties are faced in a spirit of fairness the two Govern- mente by friendly agreement will be able to ease the situation for each other. those who have read the complete text it is said that the cabled summary, which was prominently displayed on the front pages of all the newspapers in big foe, gives an erroneous impression of . and impatience which the com- plete note does not jastify. Even the war news was allotted a secondary place to the note in the news columns of the papers. Consequently the British people regard this as one of the most imporiant occurrences of the whole war. Nothing of the kind since President Cleveland’s Venezuelan message has produced such a sensation. Great Britain is in difficulties not only with America, but also with other neutral states, particularly those bor- dering Germany and Austria. It is re- garded as not improbable that Great Britain will im the eng be compelled to impose now principles of interna- tional law regarding the treatment of contraband on account of the un- precedented situation of her oppo- nents being surrounded by neutrals through which goods can be shipped. There is not the slightest doubt that American commerce has been seriously interfered with. Ships carrying Amer- ican cargoes have been seized at sea, brought into British ports, then searched, sometimes even to the extent of completely unloading the vessel Some evidence of smuggling has been discovered, and therein wil) lie one of England’s best arguments in justifying her course to the United States. This evidence aiready has been presented to Washington, notably the case of one snipment of rubber which was under a false manifest. The Foreign Office time and again has expressed its regret that merchants in no way violating the neutrality should suffer delay because their shipments were mixed with copper and other ar- ticles declared to be contraband, which frequently have been found hidden un- der coal or other heavy cargoes, but at the same time it takes the position that transshipments at sea and other sharp practices have made careful inspectior imperative to the welfare of the allies. Frequently cargoes’ are so loaded that an inspection makes necessary a complete shifting of virtually every- thing in the vessel. British officials have expressed sur- prise at the disposition on the part of certain Americans to blame Great Brit- ain for being one of the causes of the depression in cotton. This is held by them to be due to overproduction and not to any action on the part of the British Government. Ameriedn Note Not to Be Published ‘im United States. ON, Dec. 80.—Administra- tion officials and all official and diplo- matic Washington were deeply interest- ed today in reading London's views of the American note, but there were no actual developments in the situation. Some of the neutral diplomats here have been supplied with an official memo- randuyn summarizing the contents. of the paper and Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador, has received a copy It was stated officially, however, that it would not be published here. At the Cabinet meeting yesterday it was suggested that in order to support the American Government in its effort to protect cargoes of noncontraband goods, shippers and shipping companies should be warned against concealment of doubtful articles on the same ships. The White House then issued its sugges- tion to American shippers to be careful about the manifests describing their car- goes. The President said the great em- barrassment to the Government in deal- ing with the whole matter was that some shippers had concealed contraband in their cargoes of noncontraband arti- cles. So long as there were instances of that kind, the President added, suspicion was cast on every shipment and all car- goes were liable to doubt and to search. State Department officials said later there were two cases in which this had occurred and that Great Britain had consequently used them as a basis for general search. In some quarters there was talk of possible reprisals by the United States in case the British fleet did not accord better treatment to American, cargoes. One idea advanced in congresional cir- cles, and discussed in executive quar- ters to some extent, was the possible enforcement of an embargo against shipment to the allies of products which the United States considered legitimate articles of trade, but which the British fleet prevented from reaching Germany or Austria. In circles close to the White House, however, the belief was confidently ex- pressed that none of these measures would be necessary, as Great Britain, understanding the seriousness of the situation to American industries, would take steps to ameliorate the conditions against which this Government had er Packers’ Products Worth “eye by Britain.

LONDON, Dec. 3¢.—All the morning newspapers comment at length on the American Government’s nete to Great Britain demanding better treatment for American commerce, and agree that the American protest should be met by the British Government in the same spirit of friendly good will as is shown by the note. Generally, however, the newspapers are inclined to await the actual text of the note before indulg- ing in detailed criticism of it. Meantime they point out how, inevita- bly, serious difficulties arise, whenever questions of neutrality are involved. Moreover, they are inclined to dispute the theory that Great Britain alone is responsible for the dislocation of the world’s trade, arguing that, even had she remained neutral, the fact that a number of other nations were involved in the hostilities must have had a detri- mental effect on the world’s commerce. In any case, they say, Great Britain was not responsible for the war. The Times, in an editorial, says: “The nete is dated Dec. &%, and, al- though tke idea may seem fanciful, we cannot help imagining that it was by no accident tNat the eve of the great fes- tival of peace and good will was chosen for the digpatch of this friendly com- munication from one of the great branches of the English-speaking com- munitigs to the other. Inconvenience Is Realized. “If anything in_the telegraphic sum- mary of the note as received here should seem peremptory we feel assured that this appearance is entirely due to the necessities of compression and will van- ish when the text of the document is be- fore us. We fully realize the inconven- fence and the loss the conduct of the war must occasion to America and oth- er neutrals. We also are confident that when the note is published we shall find that President Wilson and his col- leagues are not insensible to the im- perious requirements of our military sit- uation. “We do not suppose this is a dispute of our right as belligerents to practice such interference with commerce be- tween neutrals as is manifestly neces- sary for the protection of our nationa) safety. What they do question, as We gather it, is whether the action of our ships does not, in some cases, exceed that manifest necessity.” The Express says: ‘We are keenly anxious that America should suffer the least possible lo from the war, but war mene tneritabia loss for neutrals as well aa for belligerents. Lancashire starved du the American Civil War, and during the war with Spain the Washington Government took the same measures to prevent the enemy from receiving supplies as Great Britain and France are taking now. “Americans are too fair and sports- manlike to ask or expect us to tie one arm behind our back when we are meeting a powerful antagonist.’’ Similar Dispute Led to War. The Daily News, in an editorial, con- siders disputes, such as have arisen between Great Britain and the United States, as one of the penalties which ac- company command of the sea. “English history,’’ the editorial says, ‘teemgs@ with instances of such friction and on one lamentable occasion we al- lowed a similar dispute to lead us into war with the United States. Happily, there is no need to fear any such Cca- lamitous development today. The char- acters of President Wilson and Sir Ed- ward Grey offer the surest guarantee that no effort will be spared to reduce the friction to a minimum, and to con- sider every problem with the asingle- minded determination to find an equita- ble solution.”’ The Daily Chronicle, premising that some amount of inconvenience ig in- separable from the present state of world-wide war, assumes that the Amer- ican Government has no intention of departing from its much prized neutral- ity so far as to infringe the belligerent rights of England and her allies, and says: “The allies are quite legitimately sub- fecting Germany and Austria-Hungary to a species of gigantic siege, and upon the efficient maintenance of that siege their success in the war must largely Gepend. If individual American traders wish to defy it in order to profit by the famine prices which now rule in the be- sieged countries for copper, antimony, petrol and other necessaries, they can do so at their own risk.’’ Justifies American . Action. The Daily Graphic, in an editorial this morning, justifies the American action, because, it says, there never has been a war in which the neutrals and bel- ligerents agreed upon their respective rights, and if the Americans made no protest their silence might be construed as acquiescence in the British view, and consequently as an unfriendly act to- ward Germany. “But,” the Graphic adds, ‘‘the hard- ship to the American shipper is less great than he pretends. He can dis- pose of all his goods either to Great Britain or her allies, or to remote neu- tral countries, at quite good prices. All he loses is the- chance of making an exceptional profit out of Germany’s mil- itary needs.”’ The Daily Mail considers that, though the question is thorny and complex, it is not impossible of solution by two as ee ee ee PURE RICH BLOOD PREVENTS DISEASE Bad blood is responsible for more allments than anything else.

A plea for mutual’ good will is made by the Pall Mall Gazette, which urges that between two English-speaking na- tions so accustomed to frank discussion and plain dealing, there is no necessity for ‘irritation over any apparent brusquerie in the message.’’ The Evening Standard asks America to continue to recognize that the prime duty of the British navy is to see that nothing goes to Germany which can help her. “We have little doubt of her willing- ness, and may have as little uncertain- ty as to the spirit of fairness to neu- trals in which the British Government desires to interpret international law and its obligations,’’ says the Standard. “As President Wilson himself hints, there are people in America who compli- cate the situation by taking a less rigid view than their Government.” The comment in the Globe is charac- teristic of that newspaper's attitude to- ward American affairs. “The American Government in effect demands that we should renounce, in the interesa of American profits, our most potent weapon against our enemy; that we should raise the blockade against that enemy’s supplies,.”’ says the Globe. It contends that the American Government remained silent in the face of violation of all the conventions adopt- ‘ed at The Hague, and the “indefensible outrages inflicted on Belgium.’’ It continues: ‘‘The voice of the great neutral nation which seeks to be the final arbiter to civilization is raised for the first time, not on any question of higher morality, but to express impa- tlence at the fact that the greatest war in the history of the world has inter- fered with the opportunities of Amer- ican traders to make money out of the necessities of belligerents.”’ The Globe concludes its comment as follows: ‘There is only one possible answer to the American demand: ‘NO!’” The Day in Congress SENATE.

Bremmer Promised Her $150 a Month for Life for Services. PASSAIC, N. J., Dec. 30.—Suit has been brought against the estate of the late Representative Robert G. Bremner, who died of cancer last spring at Bal- timore, by Miss Theodora Nash of Pat- erson, a trained nurse, who demands payment of $150 a month for the re- mainder of her life. In her suit the young woman alleges that she met Bremner while he was undergoing treatment in New York for cancer. She asserts that she accepted his proposal that she remain with him as his nurse until he was cured or died 'with the assurance that if she did so she would receive $150 a month while she lived. Representative Bremner’s fight against cancer attracted wide attention because of the efforts made to save or prolong his life by radium treatment.

Cures U.S.CAN END WAR BY EMBARGO, SAYS CONGRESSMAN Volmer of lowa Asks, ‘‘Are We to Plead for Peace With. Blood Money in Paecket?’’ WASHINGTON, Dec. ™.—How the United States could end the European war in 90 days by cutting off the export of war supplies was described today by Representative Volmer of Iowa to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. With Representative Bartholdt, he indorsed a joint resolution to empower the Pres- ident, in his discretion, to prohibit such exports. American embargoes from 17% down to the Mexican arms embargo of 1912 were cited by Vollmer in a legal argument to support the constitutional right of Con- gress to act. “President Wilson,” he said, ‘“sus- pended the embargo of export of arms and munitions to Mexico in the interest of true neutrality as against neutrality on paper. “Germany Can’t Be Beaten.” “IT maintain that the pending resolu- tion is in line with the historic reputa- tion of this nation as the greatest ad- vocate of peace. It is not in line with that reputation to supply the instru- ments of murder to European nations. Are we to take the position of the arch- hypocrite among the nations? Are we to go upon our knees and pray for peace and at the same time supply the death- dealing instruments to Europe? Are we to plead with God for peace with the blood money in our pockets? “We are now in the position of send- ing dollars for Belgium and dumdum bullets for Germany.”’ Representative Vollmer emphatically declared: “‘“Germany cannot be beaten in this war. Her people are united and determined to fight to the last drup of blood. If this war continues it will go on and on until all the world is dragged down to bankruptcy. ‘ there is only one nation whose lines of national interest are hopelessly op- posed to ours. I do not hesitate to pre- dict that Japan proposes to hold, not only Kiauchau, but the islands of the Pacific which she has seized. Some day this issue must be tried out in the Pa- cific and it may be to the interest of this country to have a powerful friend at her side.’’ “Do you think the German Govern- ment expects us seriously f~o pass such a resolution as this?’’ asked Chairman Flood. “I believe, and persons who have been in Germany say,’ replied Volmer, ‘‘that the Germans look with grave displeasure on shipments of arms to the allies.”’ “Alienating German Friendship.” Representative Bartholdt told the com- mittee that by ‘“‘dollar neutrality’’ the United States.was alienating the friend- ship of Germany and Austria. ‘The alliance of Great Britain with Japan is not a good omen for our fu- ture in the Pacific. We are now sell- ing our neutrality for British gold,”’ said he. “Is it your contention that, while technically neutral, we are really one of the allies, supplying the bullets for the others?’ asked Representative Cooper. “I belleve we are particeps criminis,”’ said Representative Bartholdt, “in the maiming and killing of men, the making of widows and orphans and the pro- longation of the war.’’ Representative Bartholdt declared shipments of war munitions since the conflict began aggregated $150,000,000. “I am convinced,” said he, “that by cutting off the exportation of such sup- plies we can bring the war to a close very soon. And the cutting off of just one month of war would mean more to us than all the profits that the manufac- turers of war supplies could make.’’ The committee arranged to hear dele- gations from New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, beginning Monday. U. $, TO AVOID RECOGNITION OF THE GERMANS IN BELGIUM WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—There is no disposition on the part of Germany to hurry its request for the cancellation of exequaturs held by neutral Consuls in Belgian territory under German military rule, according to State Department of- ficials. The German note was sent by mail to the Washington Government, which will consider the subject at length before making a decision. It is generally understood the United States will avoid any action which might be considered a political recogni- tion of the German possession of Bel- gium. While officials did not comment on the contents of the German com- munication, they intimated that [t con- tained no evidence of any desire to place the American Government or neutral na- tions in an embarrassing situation. It was pointed out today that a situa- tion somewhat similar to that in Bel- gium might be raised by Great Britain with respect to neutral Consuls in Egypt, lately made a British protecto- rate. Neutral Consuls hitherto have been accredited to the Turkish Govern- ment as well as to the Egyptian authori- tiles, but unless Great Britain raises the question there will be no change in the status of Amefican Consuls.

The festival was begun by all stand- ing and singing tne old German Christ- mas song, ‘‘Thou Gilad and Holy Christ- mas Time.” The Kaiser, on rising, was cheered.

W. H. Warder of Marion, Ill., who ap- peared before Circuit Judge Crow at Belleville yesterday and successfully re- sisted an application of creditors for a receiver for the bank, was in the bank here today assisting the executors. Fe sald’ it Was not ‘proper to make’ a statement at present of the bank’s financial condition, because it would involve affairs which would have to be passed upon by the Probate Court. At the present stage of investigation into the bank's affairs, being made by the two executors, he said, an accurate esti- mate of the amount of deposits and re- sources could not be given. To make an estimate at this time, he said, might arouse the expectations of creditors, and might embarrass the administrators. Warder said an inventory of the Horn restate would be filed in the Probate Court in about 10 days, but that this statement would not include any men- tion of ihe estate's liabilities. The in- ventory, therefore, would not disclose the amounts of deposits in the bank. All of Horn’s mining and farm lands appear to have clear title. He never indorsed anyone’s notes. He carried $10,000 life insurance. Henry Horn Jr. is a racehorse fancier and is greatly interested in automobiles. JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE IS VERDICT IN STORE SHOOTING Leonard ©.

Depositions which were to have been taken today in the suit brought by Mrs. Nellie St. John Ellison against Mrs. Elizabeth N. Walton on a promissory note for $2000 were postponed pending @ decisicn by the Circuit Court on the admissibility of a question which would show whether Mrs. Ellison or her di- vorced husband, A. B. Ellison, supplied the money for building a house at 5568 Bartmer avenue. Robert Powell, attor- ney for Mrs. Ellison, contends that questions regarding Mrs. Ellison’s past life have no bearing in the present suit. His objection to the question regard- ing the family finance has been sus- tained by Special Commissioner Judge C. C. Allen and the Court has been asked to certify the decision. Vivorce by Default. Mrs. Ellison is a member of the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, as is also Mrs. Walton. In October, 1909, Mrs. Bl- lison brought suit for divorce. This was dismissed and a second suit was filed in December of that year. Ellison replied with a cross bill, naming 12 al- leged co-respondents. Finally Mrs. Elli- son obtained a divorce by default. | The Ellisons reached a financial settle- ment out of court by which their resi- dence at 5568 Bartmer avenue was put in the hands of E. C. Bradley as trustee. He was to sell the house and Mrs. Elli- son was to receive 60 per cent of the proceeds and her husband the remaining 4) per cent. Mrs. Walton bought the place for $15,- 00, but also gave Mrs. Ellison a three- year note for $2000 without the Knowl- edge of Ellison. This note has been un- paid and forms the basis of Mrs. El- lison’s suit. Question in Family Finance. According to depositions filed with the Circuit Court, taken at a hearing Dec. 2, a lively argument followed the first portion of testimony given by Mrs. El- lison. She had stated that she lived at 6475 Vernon avenue and that she had built the house in Bartmer avenue, Then came the question: ‘‘Was this built with your own money?” Powell objected and L. L. Leonard, representing Mrs. Walton, said: ‘The defense in this case is that El- lison and his wife did not get along well together.”’ He then detailed the various divorce proceedings and said that between the first and second suits brought bv Mrs. Ellison, she had met Mrs. Walton in a social way. He stated that Ellison had made a present of the Bartmer avenue house to his wife and that when she be- gan to show coldness he was aggrieved hat he had placed the property in her name. The lawyer stated that there had been verbal agreement between Mr. and Mrs. Ellison that she should return the property if they ever separatedgor he needed it for business reasons. He said that Mrs. Ellison had refused to return the property. Then he detailed the agreement to leave the property with a trustee for sale. “Mrs. Walton setured the property with a proviso to pay Mrs. Hllison $2000 as a pure gift upon Mrs. Ellison repre- senting her poverty-stricken condition ond that she needed the money é robbed the store of | y to pre pare for taking boarders,” the attorney : set forth. killed ) Leonard stated that Mrs. Walton had Ellison in other ways and that she had once purchased from her a painting which she was told was worth $200 or $300 and which proved to be | worthless. The Commissioner, after having a lot of other details, said that the entire matter seemed involved te him, and Leonard replied. ‘“‘We cannot put the entire scenario before our audience in one reel.” The Commissioner took the question under advisement and finally sustained the objection of Mrs. Ellison’s counsel. The defense then asked that the ques- tion be certified by the Court.

Wolff-Wilson g Co., Sixth St. and Washington Av., St. Louis, Mo. Chas. \F. Merker, East. St. Louis, DL DES IN A HOTEL Daughter of Laclede J. Howard, Fire Brick Maker, Succumbs in Atlantic City. ’ : Miss Marian Frances Howard, 21 years old, daughter of the late Laclede J. Howard, fire brick manufacturer, and sole inheritor of hig $415,000 estate, died today in a hotel in Atlantic City, N. J., according to a telegram received by her uncle, Edward Flad, former Water Com- missioner, of 5575 Waterman avenue. At the Flad home this afternoon, it was stated,'’in answer to inquiries, that Miss Howard died after a very brief ill- ness. No further information could be obtained from members of the Flad family. So far as could be learned, the young woman's grandmother, Mrs. Car- oline Flad of 4421 Westminster place, is her nearest direct heir. Mrs. Flad said she had heard no details as to the cause of death, and that Miss Howard had been in Atlantic City for the past few weeks. Both Parents Were Dead. Miss Ho6ward’s mother, who died in 1903, a@ short time after Howard’s death, was before her marriage Miss Helen Flad, daughter of the late Col. Henry Flad, noted civil engineer and first pres- ident of the St. Louis Board of Public Improvements under the old charter. Miss Howard, who was one of the wealthiest unmarried women in St. Louis, has spent much of her time in musical study abroad since a court de- cision, in June, 1912, gave her absolute and undisputed possession of her for- tune. This decision followed one of the strangest lawsuits ever heard in a St. Louis court, which continued for nine years. Suit by Mrs. Leafgreen. Soon after the death of Howard and Mrs. Howard, a suit against the How- ard estate was filed by Mrs. Mary Leat- green, who called herself Mrs. Howard. She said she was married in 1883, in De- catur, Ill., to a man whom she knew as Henry Howard, but who, she said she learned long afterword, was Laclede J. Howard. She said she was deserted by ‘‘Henry’ Howard the day after their marriage, and that he told her the marriage was void because he had used a fictitious name. She testified that she met La- clede J. Howard in St. Louis in 190°, shortly before his death, and recognized him as her former husbannd. She had, in the meantime, been married twice and divorced once. Suit Cost Estate $40,000. In combatting her suit, attorneys for the Howard estate obtained the deposi- tion of Thomas J. Miller, Mayor of Tumwater, Wash., that he was the “Henry Howard’ who married the plaintiff in Decatur. Supreme Judge Ferris, who handed down the final decision in the case. characterized Mrs. Leavgreen’s' story as “‘too flimsy to warrant belief.’’ The suit was also scored in the lower courts as an unwarranted attack on the good name of a family and the inheritance of a young girl. . The Leafgreen litigation cost the es- tate more than $40,000. While the case was pending, Miss Howard lived with her grandmother, Mrs. Flad. Mrs. Flad said, after the suit ended, that the suit could have been compromised for a small sum, but that the family had tnought it best to make no. conces- sions. FINES OF WIFEBEATERS ~ TO BE PAID TO WOMEN a Judge Hogan Introduces New Method of Dealing With Offenders in Court, +—Finas imposed on wifebeaters in Judge Hogan's police court will in future be paid i a the city, but to the injured wives. This announcement was made by Hogan today, when he fined Carl G. Roensch of 823 Hickory street $500 and ordered him to pay the amount to Mrs. Roensch in installments of $12 a week, with the alternative of serving the fine cut in the workhouse. This is a variation of the pledge’’ plan, made famous by the late W. Jeff Pollard, when he presided in the Dayton Street Police Court. Hogan f.zures that if the husband has to pay a regular sum of money to his wife he will be obliged to keep sober, and that a pledge would add nothing to the obliga- tion. Roensch, chosen for the first test of the new plan, is an expert glass- blower, and sometimes makes $150 a week by fashioning medical test tubes and delicate instruments. Re- cently, his wife testified, he has not provided regularly for her support, and a few nights ago, she said, he went home intoxicated and choked her. She showed bruises from this experience. CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED IN CAMPBELL WILL SUIT Judge Rassieur Acts on Motioa Alleg- ing His Relationship to Law- yer In Litigation. Circuit Judge Rassieur today granted a change of venue in the suit to break James Campbell's will and assigned the cage to Circuit Judge Kinsey’s court. His action followed a motion filed by Mrs. Rose Curtis, sister of Campbell and one of the plaintiffs. It alleged Judge Rassieur’s relationship to some of the attorneys for the deferidants. Judge Rassieur is a brother of Theodore Ras- sieur of the law firm of Schnurmacher & Rassieur. Benjamin Schnurmacher of this firm later said his firm had not been retained in the will case but had been employed in other phases of the Campbell estate litigation. If it had been retained in the will case, he said, his firm, of its own motion, would bave asked a change of venue. ‘‘Pollard % Killed tn Coal Mime Accident.

Law- rence, Wife’s Grandfather. NEW YORK, Dec. 3¥.—One hundred thousand dollars for remaining at home. away from New York City, and not at- tending to business for a few months were the terms of a contract entered into in 1908 between Dr. Joseph J. Law- rence of New York and St. Louis, a patent medicine. millionaire, now dead, and his grandson-in-law, Russell Hop- kins of the Hotel St. Regis. Hopkins introduced the yacht method of Lochinvaring when he eloped up the Hudson with Vera Siegrist in 1906. He hates publicity, so he once drove a tan- dem of zebras through the city streets. At another time got himself insured against assassination, and has figured in various other exploits that have pro- duced newspaper headlines. The contract, disclosed yesterday when the transfer tax on Dr. Lawrence’s es- tate was filed, was entered into by the patent medicine man in order to keep his grandson-in-law at the latter’s home at Irvington, N. Y., that he might take care of his wife when she was expect- ing to present a great-grandchild to ths doting old man. Known as “Million Dollar Baby.” Josephine Lawrence Hopkins, after- ward known as “The Million Dollar baby,’ because she will eventually m- herit most of her great-grandfather's estate, was the child who put $100,000 inte her father’s pocket before she ways born. Testimony of Hopkins and others in the appraisal proceedings showed that for five months subsequent to June, 1908, Dr. Lawrence agreed to pay his grand- daughter’s husband $3000 a month on condijion that Hopkins should devote at least half that sum to providing for his wife and keeping up the couple’s coun- try estate. Hopkins made claim against the estate for $40,000 balance due on the un- usual contract, for the remainder of the monthly payments and for payment ot a $000 note given to him by Dr. Lawrence in order that Hopkins might take his wife on a trip to Florida. In settling the estate, Hopkins, in full disposal of his claim, got $60,583, the entire residuary New York estate, and an agreement was entered into by his wife and his grandmother-in-law whereby he will receive enough more to make him a beneficiary to a total, of $75,000. The extra amount is to be paid out of the income received by Mrs. Hop- kins and her daughter, Josephine Law- rence Hopkins, from the major portion of Lawrence's estate, which he put in trust for them in St. Louis. Income $130,000 a Year. The trust consists largely of interests in various patent medicine concerns, and while its value was not shown in the appraisal of the smaller New York portion of Dr. Lawrence’s fortune. it yields an income of $130,000 a year, it is said. In May, 1912, Dr. Lawrence’s widow, Mrs. Josephine Lawrence, then living at the Hotel Plaza, sued Hopking for the recovery of promissory notes total- ing $120,000, which she alleged Hopkins had obtained from her through taking undue advantage of her love for her sranddaughter, his wife. Mrs. Lawrence eventually withdrew the citation and publicly expressed her regret at the reflections she had cast upon her grand- son-in-law. Supreme Court Justice Hendrick yes- terday appointed William C. Arnold ref- eree in the divorce action of Mrs. Marie Bennett Hopkins, now of New York, against John R. Hopkins of Atlanta, Ga. She is the mother of Russell Hopkins. Mrs. Hopkins says she was married at West Point, Miss., May 18, 1881, but eventually was forced to leave her hus- band because of his cruelty and because he drank so heavily that she did not cGeem it safe to live longer with him. Mrs. Hopkins charges her husband as- sociated with other women on numerous occasicns in Atlanta and in Washing- ton, D. C. She gives dates and places und says that among the women was one known as Nell, but called by her husband ‘‘Mississippi.’’ Experience of Noble Women in Europe The horrible experiences that many in Europe during past few months can never be all told. both young and old, have experienced much misery and suffering.

It meant, first, that already there weré fully 8000 persons assembled in the Coliseum, to hear Max Zach’s instru- mentalists and the Pageant Chorus, and it meant, second, that special care was being taken of certain elements of the city’s population to whose pleasure not much thought ordinarily is devoted. It was an honest announcement, too, for very special attention was being paid to many St. Louisans out of the common run of musical guesthood. The folk who came from the Dea- coness Hospital, .Methodist Episcopal tiome, Ben Akiba Working Girls, Wom- an’s Christian Home, Missouri Baptist Sanitarium, St. Louis Maternity Hospi- tal, Barnes Hospital, Children’s Hospi- tal, St. John’s Hospital, Jewish tospi- tal, St. Luke’s Hospital, Barnard Skin and Cancer Hospital, St. Louis Train- ing School for Nurses, Provident Asso- ciation, Christian Old People’s Home, Missouri School for the Blind, Blind Girls’ Home and the Memorial Home for old women and men—these were among the music-hungry souls mosi zealously looked after by the hosts of the occasion. And, truly, sight to see. Yet, just as truly, the vast audience constituted the most nobly representa- jtive audience I have ever seen at a musical function in this city. Wealth and fashion were in evidence. The City Fathers, headed by Mayor Kiel, were there. The musical cognos- venti rallie@ in full force and high feather. And neither Midas nor Lazarus, dis- tinction nor obscurity, were ill at ease in the shoulder-to-shoulder massing. President James B. Smith of the Sym- phony Society, chairman of the Com- mittee of Management, assisted by his committee and 80 aids, saw to it that all comers were made to feel at home. The reception and seating of the great crowd developed into a very marvel of well-ordered precision. Wherefore it so happened that when Conductor Zach and his orchestra ap- peared on the big stage at 8:15 o’clock the enormous audience was comfortably placed, quiet, orderly and plainly ex- pectant of much melo@dic delight. It gave Mr. Zach a warmly cordial wel- coming, the note of personal friendli- ness being plainly sounded. And Max Zach himself was friendliest of moods. It was: with genuine enthusiasm that he led his big orchestra, number by number, encore after encore, through the tuneful offerings of the night. Sir Edward Elgar’s “Pomp and Cir- cumstance’’ march, Wagner’s ‘“Tann- hauser’’ overture, Haydn’s ‘‘Rondo All’ Ongarese,”’ Thomas’ ‘‘Mignon”’ overture, Strauss’ “Joys of Life’’ waltz, Delibes’ ‘Sylvia’ pizzicato polka, Herbert’s ‘‘American Fantasy,’’ with the audience singing “The Star Spangled Banner’— such was the program’s inviting array. As for encores—well, they came along with splendid generosity—Mendelssohn’s “Spring Song,’’ Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes,’’ Dvorak’s ‘“‘Humoresque” and cther ‘‘grace numbers” enriched the en- tertainment. So, too, when Conductor Zach sur- rendered his command of the musical forces to Frederick Fischer, did the St. Louis Pageant Choral Society, capably reinforced by the Symphony Orchestra, contribute its own share to the even- ing’s pleasure. The two majestic outbursts of ensem- ble song from ‘The Messiah” of Han- del’s inspired composing, ‘“‘And the Glory of the Lord” and the “Hrllelujah Cho- rus,”’ filled the Coliseum with a sonor- ous volume of melodic outcry from fine- ly attuned throats. And the great audience was greatly enthusiastic in its acclaim of the Pageant choristers whose good work added the crowning human touch to the program’s offerings of musical soul’s- celight. This splendid audience of 8000 or more reverently rose to its feet and remained standing during the singing of the “‘Hal- lelujah’’ chorus. Also was it told by President Smith that Conductor Zach would give the sig- nal for its. standing when ‘‘The Star Spangled Banner’ was reached during the -orchestra’s playing of Victor Her- bert’s ‘‘American Fantasy.”’ But it didn’t wait for the “Old Glory” strain—it rose in mass for “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean’’—getting the two airs a bit mixed, perhaps. All the same, however, everything was all right, because ‘“‘The Star-Spangled Banner” came immediately afrter—and the way that big audience sang “Oh, Say, Can You See by the Dawn's Early Light, What So Proudly We Hailed at the Twilight’s Last Gleaming,”” was a joy to one’s American soul. It was a magnificently typical com- munity event, this free Christmas-time concert by the Symphony Orchestra, the second event of its kind in all the mu- sical history of St. Loutla. that was a comforting in the Surely {t must fiave gone far towards | | additionally organization .-to all the people. Democracy was its keynote. A new and very splendid civic spirit | aes all through the events of its de- velopment. And it embraced all the generations— I saw many little children in the Coli- seum, and many more old folks with white hair and time-worn faces.

Denver ‘Tafternoon when Mme. SENATOR STONES PAYING NO TAXES IN JEFFERSON CITY Has Failed to Make Return for Three Years; Not Assessed for 1913 and 1914. By a wee Correspondent of the ost- oe JEFFBRSON CITY, . 0.—The St. ge dug up Louis Globe-Democrat the information that Senator Stone no longer is paying taxes there. Although the Senator maintains his legal residence’ in Jefferson City and voted here last November, it appears from the records that no assessment has been placed against him for either the present year or last year, and that he has made no tax return on his own account for three years. It also appears from the record that the portion due Jefferson’ City of an as- sessment placed against him in 1y12 re- mains unpaid, The Senator's last tax return was made in 1911, when he scheduled his belongings at $550. As he failed to make a tax return in 1912, this amount was doubled, under the law. County Asses- sor Jones says that Senator Stone made no return in 1913 or 1914, al- though blanks were mailed to him and one was left with G. M. Henley, with whom Senator Stone resides when in Jefferson City. In his 1910 tax return Senator Stone scheduled all his property at $1470, of which $550 was household effects, jewel- ry, etc. In his 1911 return he gave only the $650. The Senator paid the State and coun> ty portion of the taxes assessed against him in 1912, amounting to $22.44, but the city’s portion, $12.82, remains un- paid. It was through an oversight, accord- ng to Assessor Jones, that no assess- nent was placed against him last year or this year. Soc —RANKLIN FERRISS, who was a member of the first Cornell boat crew that ever splashed Cayuga’s waters, and who has been a Circuit Judge and a Judge of the = Mis- souri Supreme Court in the 41 years since he left Cornell, will be one of those who will stand up when the Cornell Uni- versity Musical Clubs render ‘Alma Ma- cer’ at the Odeon tonight. George J. Tansey, who used to write the numerals ‘88’ after his name at ‘thaca, will join the ‘I Yell’ which al- ways comes at some appropriate place na Cornell concert. Furthermore, Mr. Tansey will be toastmaster at a smoker lo be given for the Cornell youths at the St. Louis Club. If, he covers himself | with glory on that occasion, as is quite likely to happen, his hearers will give all the credit to his Cornell training and will overlook the fact that Mr. Tansey nas had a lot of practice at banquets of all sorts around St. Louis and has learned a great deal from William Ma- tion Reedy and others... The club will be at Hotel Jefferson during its stay in the city, but will not get much of a chance to loaf around the hotel. A reception at William B. ittner’s home, 5553 Bartmer avenue, is scheduled for this afternoon. Mr. Ittner was in the class of '87 at Cornell. This is the twenty-third annual Christ- mas tour of the Cornell University Mu- sical Clubs. The clubs once undertook 1 tour of the British Isles, but found it such a long way to Tipperary, and then back to Ithaca, that this venture was was the farthest from home that the clubs have gone this year.

To the Ddltor of the Post-Dispatch. _ It seems evident that there will be no perma- nent peace on the planet until excessive love of “fatheriands” and flags is no longer fostered and taught. This has served its purpose in promot- ing the rfvairy and competition that have aided the progress of nations. But it has also caused : re and thereby halted progress for ilong ods. s In this enlightened age there should be only Jone flag, upon which should be inscribed the “Words “Humanity and Justice.” Such a flag _ would be in harmony with the vital tenets of all “the religions. Of course, it would not suit the jingoes, who would be hard to suppress, and this “reminds me of my first (and last) attempt at rhyme, which yom published in the letter column just before the Boer War, under the heading “Jingo Patriotism.” At that time there was a strong anti-war party in England, and they called the epposition “jingoes,’ as :those favoring mili- 'tarism and war are now called. I tried to ridi- tule the excessive love of country that promotes racial hatred and wars. As I think ft is appro- priate at this time to republish my crude efforts, I trust you will do so. wyede it is: Eaee there at so smal!

Dear Post-Dispatch Santa—With two grateful ‘hearts a thousand innoceht kisses to Santa from iy my little boy, Eddie Kasting, that has been sick ‘& long time. He fell on a nail and hurt his knee and had a fever and sore throat, and I have been ‘ghok and out of work a long time with rheumatic —~ but just got to work three days ago. I just home from church when your kind, good 4 brought me your Christmas basket that was Such a surprise to me. Truly I had to sit down and cry with joy at the godsend. Biessings—a nice chicken soup that my boy enjoyed so much, with nice red apples that he plied up in his bed with the good candy, as I had ‘nothing but a pair of stockings and a rabbit a le had just brought to me. It truly made my feel happy and grateful to the kind Post- .t tech Santa and the one that told of my trou- ble, as I have no mother, no husband, no work or money to give my child a glad Christmas till you came to me. God bless you. I will never for. get how happily I,put the candy and apples in® the stockings this Christmas. He said he will pave all his pennies for the Post-Dispatch Santa and paper, and again, we thank you many times, Ww @ you a prosperous, happy New Year, from @ bey and MRS. FE.

In this respect every ob- os agli can become his own wepther prog-é : FRANK RR. BIGNEE. ios ay ea a SL, LOUIS *POST-DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY EVENING, ee TO The suffrage movement, which has already pre- vailed in 1,740,000 square miles of United States territory inhabited by 13,891,831 persons, and casting 91 votes in the Electoral College, enters 2,08 @ new phase during the coming 12 months. From the West and Middlewest the stress of the fight will be transferred to Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In each of these four states a constitutional amend- ment must be approved by two legislatures before being submitted to the people. In each a suffrage measure has already passed one legislature. The conditions under which the new campaign must be carried on differs of course from those under which past victories have been won. IIli- nois still remains the most easterly state in which women have a right to vote on proposi- tions other than school issues and bond refer- endums. Public opinion is less fluid as the At- lantic seaboard is approached. The opposition is more stubborn and the problem more difficult than the one encountered in the receptive West and the radical territory of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. But the women are conscious of the magnitude of their task. They are perfecting the strongest organization with ‘which they have ever attempt- ed to exert influence on official and popular action and accumulating the largest campaign fund they have ever commanded, more than $100,- 000 having already been raised for use in New York state alone. A triumph in all four states would give them a preponderating voice in the choice of the next President. A triumph in any one of the four would mark a turning point in the movement. If New York should declare for suffrage other states would rapidly fall in line. The same thing may be said of success in Massachusetts or Pennsylvania. = = rr STARTING THE PAREWAY. The Central Parkway bill is a handsome New Year’s gift for St. Louis. It starts the progressive ball at the beginning of the year. Let us hope the reactionaries will reconsider their alleged determination to appeal to the refer- endum, which will only delay proceedings at great cost to the city. If the Taxpayers’ League is actuated by a sincere desire to save money and serve the public, it will wait until the preliminary work on the Parkway is completed. When the extent of the Parkway assessment district, the actual value of the property and the cost of making the Parkway are known, the people will be in better position than they are now to exercise sound judgment concerning the project. They will have full information with regard to it. If the people are to pass upon the Parkway, let them judge it in the light and not in the dark. = = A HERO AT THREE SCORE AND TEN. Evidently there is no age limit to héfoism. There is no great surprise when we remark seventy performing the valors of twenty-one, but it deepens satisfaction with mankind and respect for his prowess. We allude to the Honorable and Venerable Leonard ©. Humphrey’s exploit with the two burly robbers, who assaulted him in his notion store, with the result that the police have been busy identifying one dead robber and the doctors patching up the other who partially survived. Did ever Leonidas at the Pass, Horatius at the Bridge, the youthful Saint George at his Dragon, or any other stripling of romance, song and story, display a virtue worthier of celebration? No doddering Don Quixote here! No senile in- nocuity or nonsense or truculent travesty, but the real article—the seasoned strength and vet- eran valor of seventy, manhood in the Nth power, and the businesslike execution of a buzz saw. Robbers love to pick an easy.one, and they as a kindly old gentleman who kept a little confectionery, a notion store and penny shop for children—but the robbers made a fatal mistake. They failed to take into account that noble fearlessness in the heart of a man which is a leveler of ages. Right along this line we notice, in the Cass County Leader, that a man 982 years old has recently husked 850 shocks of corn and set up the fodder, in addition to feeding and looking after the stock on a 275-acre farm, and the Leader remarks that he will make a valuable hand on a farm some day. This is a triumphant season The United Railways pension system, which goes into effect with the New Year, will benefit the employes, the company and the traveling public. It will reward faithful service, put the company in line with progressive industrial con- cerns and aid the “safety first” movement. It is in many respects more liberal than pension sys- tems of some of the peas and other cor- porations. We congratulate the United Railways on this wise, economic step. It is a good example for all employers who are in a position to follow. rw AN INVITATION TO T&T. BR. Col. Theodore Roosevelt visited the New York City municipal lodging house the other night, tasted the free soup and smacked his lips. He shook hands with the men in the bread line and addressed some of them by name. He set his seal of approval on the famine diet with the re- mark that it was “bully.” We invite T. R. to come to St. Louis and sample our free soup. It would be interesting to have his verdict as to whether it beats that served in New York. He might also find some disappointed Republican office seekers in our bread Hine. But his best service would be in sampling the work of breaking stone on our municipal rock piles, two hours of which are to be required for a “flop down” in the lodging house and a bowl of soup. As a leading social reformer and expert economist, we would like to have the Colonel's opinion as to whether or not this labor stunt is excessive, considering the qua!- | ity of the municipal couch and the strength of | —_— — ‘the Von Hoffman soup. By the wap, whet right bas the city to exact ; PGA aOR I SRR ARR PO ON RRR pe Ra ag might be supposed to fairly dote on such a victim |_ ne work for that soup, payment for which comes | from charitably disposed citizens? —_— -_ a — A PRACTICAL QUESTION. The United Raflways cannbt succeed, probably cannot survive under new charter cdnditions, without the good will of the people it serves. ‘The people of St. Louis have the power ultimately to control its destinies. Is it good policy to exhaust the patience of the people by exhausting every technical resource of the law in trying to beat the city in court. When the corporation has exhausted public good will, which is the most valuable asset it can have, by prolonged defiance of and resistance to the pub- lic will, what will a legal victory, assuming that it shall win, be worth? Public hostility can lay a heavier cost on the company than the mill tax. Would it not be wise, in view of the past court decisions as to the practical legality of the tax, tc settle the tax bill and then ask for fair treat- ment on amicable terms? We submit this question, not to the legal de- partment as a problem of ingenious law evasion, but to the heads of the United Railways as a mat- ter of practical business sense. = = * rer TARIFF COMMISSION IDBHA. Bills for a tariff commission have been intro- duced by both Congressman Mann, Republican, and Congressman Moss, Democrat. We are al- ready regulating very important things by Fed- eral commissions, even the railroads and the banks, and we will soon have a Trade Commis- sion to regulate trusts. Perhaps we must expect au experiment in commission regulation of the tariff. But the tariff commission idea used to be pop- ular with the stand-patters because they thought it would help in keeping the graft in the tariff. With the graft taken out of the tariff the kind of a commission that would keep it out has greater promise. T= =~ i BLOWING UP A SWAML Gentle Reader, never explode a bomb under a swami while he is in the act of exercising self- denial and contemplation. See what happened to the careless iconoclast in Frisco. Entering the temple he threw his hat cdéntatning a bomb at the feet of the swami. Nothing happened. The iconoclast then pounded the bomb three times. On the third pound the bomb worked like a charm, but it blew the iconoclast himself to smithereens. He !s a total loss. But the ex- plosion hardly interrupted the swami’s serene exercise of self-denial and contemplation. We find more than one invigorating moral in the premises. If you're an iconoclast, be ruth- less, of course, but not too much so. Even in iconoclasm a little self-denial is preferable to self-destruction. If the iconoclast had contented himself with pounding the bomb only twice and had induced the swami to pound it the third time there would be a different story to tell. Give the other fellow a chance sometimes. Further- more, the fellow who exercises self-restraint and thought is likely to have the better of any issue. + + 2. Se ae BELGIAN EDS. Those who have thought/that what Americans have already done towards aiding the stricken Belgians is sufficient, should read what Arnold Bennett said in last Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. “No modern famine is like this one,” said Mr. Bennett, ‘‘because it is universal. The entire population has to be fed,-and those whom charity does not reach will die.”’ Seven millions of men, women and children are in danger of starvation. And all: this in the very f civilization. A ship a day, loaded with from Taree to five thou- sand tons of foodstuffs, will be required, for months to come, to prevent Belgium from becom- ing one vast graveyard. Help is coming from many countries, but the United States alone is able to do what is neces- sary to meet the terrible need. No such oppor- tunity has ever been given us to prove our claim to be the leader in the world’s civilized forces. _=_— ~~ * ~~ Se PUTTING MOTHER IN JAIL. On a day when we learned of much other paradoxical rews—that a counterfetting plant had been discovered in the Missouri Penitentiary, that historians gathered for their national meeting at Chicago had decided to be neutral on the war, though they are never neutral on anything else, that the W. C. T. U. was struggling fiercely against too drastic liquor laws in Colorado—per- haps we ought not to be amazed at the arrest of a mother on complaint of her own daughter for larceny As the tnformation runs, Grandma Mattie Shotwell, 108 South Theresa avenue, gave little Granddaughter Brasser of 6424 Idaho avenue a diamond locket two years ago. But the other day, when at the house of the daughter, Mrs. —" Blanche Brasser, grandma took the bauble and; . pawned it for $5. This is what Mrs. Brasser said when the prosecuting officials tried to dissuade her from swearing out a warrant for theft against her own mother: No, it’s necessary to check her. her own good, We children who are constantly encountering baffling perplexities in attempting to do our duty by our parents, can appreciate Mrs. Brasser’s cruel embarrassment. Having given the trinket in the first place, the old lady—Mrs. Shotwell is 42—evidently thought herself privileged to take it back, but there are no ideas which it is more important to combat in parents than certain aberrant, curious ideas about their property. In general, discipline cannot be relaxed for a mo- ment. Mrs. Brasser understands perfectly how indulgence for one lapse is certain to be fol- lowed by whole series of other lapses. Still, to railroad mother into the penitentiary does seem just a little harsh. Mrs. Brasser evi- dently does not read the “Management of Parents” department of our woman’s page. We find that putting our parents in the dark closet for an hour, with the door locked, is often as effective as a prosecution in the criminal court. We also get excellent results by depriving mother or father or both of their usual attend- ance on the movies for a few nights. One thing we have never known to fail is to put the old folk to bed at the very first sign of insubordination. — 4 This is ter - “YM MISTRESS OF THE SEAS.”’ “BUT I’M MASTER OF THAT SHIP.” a fg wy Ai ali ail - - ie aie al -—— a ° Written tee the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams side of the war has become rather commonplace, don’t : SOCRATES ON THE BRITISH, OCRATHSB: navy is making upon the British.

i en ‘SMLEOES MAGEE TO BOSTON A Bit BOOST FOR FEDS —Rebel Oakes By Strengthening Stallings’ World’s Champions, National League Hurt Itself. CHANGE IN LOCAL CLUB President E. A. Steininger Ex- pected to Resign at Annual Meeting Next Month. By W. J. O’Connor. When Sherwood Magee, the fence- busting outfielder of the Phillies, recent- ly was sold to the world’s champion Braves, everybody in the Federal League laughed out loud. “Sherwood Magee will do our league more good in Boston than he would in/ our own circuit,”’ declared Rebel Oakes, the Pittsfeds manager, before departing for his home in Louisiana yesterday. “Magee is a great baliplayer and I was after him to round out the Pitts- burg outfield,” continued Oakes, “but I'm glad now that I didn’t land him. I figure that he will drive home enough @Tuns next season as the org hitter for Stallings to make the ational League race a runaway affair from the start. Magee Rounds Out Team. “If you'll remember, it was the Bilives’ _tremendous drive from July until Octo- ber that saved the National League from a financial failure Ixst season. Stallin won with almost nothing, but ‘aanuiring Magee, he now has the best clean-up hitter in the circuit. He also ‘has a team that will face the barrier wits the confidence born >of a world's eres conquest and I lapk for Boston to breeze in on the bit. “Nothing could be better for our cir- cult. We have deprived the Cardinals, Pirates and Reds of their punch and with only New York left I can’t see much interest in the N. L. race for next season. Our race last season Was a bang-up three-club fight to the wire. It will be better this season because every club in the circuit has strengthened im- measureably. Therefore I figure we'll get the play at the.gate. 7 . Season’s Biggest. Surprise. Rebel’s reasoning isn’t altogether false, for Magee’s transfer to Boston ‘Was easily the most surprising move mnae by ‘the older organization this winter. ith teams like Cincinnati, St. Louig and Pittsburg, two of which are in direct contact with the Fed- eral League box office battle, woe- y in need of outfielders, it was and is hard to explain why a player of ee’s recognized ability was al- lowed to drift to the world’s cham- ions. ‘ ¢ Dome may argue that Magee would object to a transfer to St. Louis. owever, it has been proved that ball ayers will do almost anything for money, and if properly induced Sher- wood Nottingham might be brought to realize that St. Louis is as good es oston. madi Collins probably didn’t fancy leavi his home in Philadelphia to play ne ith gege 34 However, Eddie, who is under a ig contract for the next four years, di BDEBing to block the Seat arranged by Ban Johnson.

Isn’t it about time that the Governor buy some electric foot-warmers and come out of hid- ing? f From his lair in Harrisburg, Pa, Gov. r, ever so often, issues a atatement about baseball being more ro Dogg 1 proposition than it {fs a business. That might be true in Haer- but persons in St. Louis have yb ucated in the past year to believe that baseball is gurety a com- mercial proposition and they know that the sale of 8S.

Although it has been persistently ru- mored that Ed Steininger would resign as poeeeet of the local Federal League el at the next annual meeting, which be held in January, Steininger to- day told the Post-Dispatch that he hadn't decided upon his plans for the co year. “I have been very busy, trying to do three men’s work, and possibly I haven’t devoted enough time to the bal! club, but I haven't made up my mind about What course I will pursue next year,” declared Stenininger.

He | thinks it is ‘‘soft’’ for him to take all Johnson can give in the first rew rounds, after which, aided by the celebrated “kayo” kids, F. Time and Jack Barleycorn, he expects to wear down the colored cinch-picker and win after a long scrap. Other reasons Jess advances recent interview for avoiding Carl Morris, Gunboat Smith and the hun- gry white hope horde, are as follows: The time has come for a white man to redeem the title. His backers are hooked in to the extent of $50,000 expense of producing the match. Honor will not let him do any- thing to jeopardize the invest- ment of his backers. His challengers do not really want matches, but publicity. The possibility of suffering a serious injury, in unimportant . contests, is too great to chance. And it’s easy to see that Willard ag the right key as to the pub- city. However, Jess, the correctness of your reasoning will conduce very lit- tle to produce confidence that Juarez, March and Willard will be tn conjunction to’restore the heavy- weight title to the white race. —_— 4 —_...

The conference did not in- clude the sellers of the club—Meassrs. Farrell and Devery—but was solely among the prospective purchasers, Col. Ruppert Jr., Capt. Husto; ‘id Johnson. At the conclusion of this ssion Presi- dent Ban announced that nothing defi- nite in the negotiations of the sale had occurred, but he had hopes and expecta- tions of the deal being closed some time this afternoon. It is most likely that something defi- nite will be done today. Before night Col. Ruppert and Capt. Huston will be the new owners of the club or the ne- gotiations will be called off entirely. If the deal is consummated, Col. Ruppert will reveal the names of the other play- ers that the seven other clubs in the American League are to turn over to FY 4Mous throughout the United States not only as the © him, and perhaps the name of the new manager of the team.
