LOUISANS TAKE PROFITS OF $100,000 IN MAY WHEAT Majority of Holding of 51 Cents Since Last July. — — Nearly 1,000,000 Bushéls Disposed of Today, Going at $1.36, Rise „ Profits of more than $100,000 were reaped by wheat traders on the Mer- chants’ Exchange today, when sales of nearly 1,000,000 bushels of the May de- livery were made by the fortunate hold- ers of the grain at®the highest price reached since war was declared in Eu- rope. T. E. Price, head of the T. E. Price Commission Co., sold 200,000 bushels. Ben S. Lang of B. H. Lang & Co., dis- posed of more than 100,000 bus Hels. T W. Carter, of T. W. Carter & Co., let ge of nearly’ 100,000 bushels, while Thomas P. Leahy, Jacob Schreiner; Os- car Lamy, Ray L. Caster, Edward B Immer, Peyton T. Carr and Roy Carter, prominent commission men, realized on several hundred thousand bushels. / Prices Close to $1.36, Most of the wheat was sold around $1.36 at the opening of the market, or at an advance of 1 cent from closing prices of yesterday. Most of it showed 9. profit of 10 cents a bushel, but on 15 to 20 cents a bushel. The wheat sold was taken by commission houses with Chicago and Eastern wire connec- tions, and is said to have been pur- chased to cover future shipments to Eu- rope for army needs. T. E. Price, who, when war was de- clared, predicted wheat would sell at $2 a bushel, has favored the advancing side of the market eongistently. He told a Post-Dispatch reporter that his profits were in excess of $30,000. Lang, when asked if his gains totaled $20,000 smiled and said: “Oh, don't quote me as making any big money. Just say I cleared over 810,000.“ Carter would not admit his profits, dut from friends it was learned he had made more than 320,000. The other profits ran from $2500 to $10,000. Wheat has had an advance from % cents last July, just before war was de- clared, and at today’s high point showed a rise of 51 cents. It is quoted at the highest price since the Leiter corner in 1898. Shortly after the war started there was an advance of 9 cents in one day, and several days since have recorded 3 to 5 cent advances. In the last two weeks prices have mounted nearly 2 cents. Exports to Europe the Cause. The upturn resulted from enormous exports of wheat and flour to Europe, especially to England and France, which have been cut off by the war from supplies usually obtained in Rus- sia and Argentina. 1 Shipments from the latter country have been interfered with by unsatis- factory shipping conditions, due to high war risks and excessive freight rates. Today’s advance followed reports that Italy was in the market for large sup- plies of wheat, in anticipation of pos- CANADA OFFERS.

MAN THREADS WOMEN’S NEEDLES Attends Meeting of Alton Sewing So- ciety and Proves Valuable Aid. The Sewing Society of the Daughters of the Rebekahs, which meets Wednes- day afternoons in the Temple Theater at Alton, were fortunate yesterday to secure the services of James Wilkinson, a railroad man, to thread needles and tie knots. They had heard of his ex- pertness and induced him to attend. One of the ladies, who was at the quilting of the society, reported that Wilkinson threaded needles as fast as they ran out of thread with machine- like rapidity and his knots were tied 80 tight that they could hardly be picked with a knife. An attempt is being made to get Wilkinson to attend the . meet- ings frequently to perform his valuable services [THE LEGISLATURE WILL S$ Le MAIO® TOPICS No TROBBER SUSPECT IS FATALLY SHOT BY A PATROLMAN James Woods, Bartender, Wounded in Chase After Gro- cery .8 Broken Into. 2 COMPANIONS ARRESTED Wife of Man Who Dies at Hos- pital Says He Had Been Missing 3 Days. James Woods, a bartender, of 2873 Emerson avenue, died at the city hos- pital at 11 a. today of a bullet wound in the abdomen, inflicted by acting Police Sergeant Sheehan of An- gelica District, near Lee and Newstead avenues, 2 a. m. Woods and two other men, who were captured, were fleeing from a butcher shop which afterward Was found to have been robbed. Two hams later were found on the trail which the men covered while being chased by the police. It was not known chat Woods had been shot until he was found uncon- scious in the yard in the rear of the nome of Patrolman Vogel, 4445 Mar. garetta avenuc at 5 a. m. He was taken to the city hospital. When re- vived he gave his name as Cohn,“ and would not tell how he was shot. Woods Is Identified. Woods was identified by Sheehan, the man who shot him, and by Patrolman Schmidt, who was chasing him when the shot was fired. A policeman went to Woods’ home this morning and told Mrs. Woods her husband had been shot. She said Woods had been away from home three days. Worry over his absence, she said, had caused such a shock to her nerves that she was too ill to go to the hos- pital to see him. At midnight Sheehan and Schmidt, ac- cording to their report, saw Woods in a saloon at 4162 Lee avenue in company with William Malimee of 507 East Gano avenue and William Morgan of 4226A Kossuth avenue. The three men were known to the police. About 2 a. m. Schmidt and Copeland were walking east on Lee avenue when they saw the same three men near the door of Henry W. Thiemeyer's grocery and butcher shop at 424° Lee avenue. As the policemen approached the men ran. Two ¢ut across a vacant lot in the direction of Newstead avenue. ~ .eehan was crossing the lot in the other direction and met the two fugi- tives. In his report he said / iirst warned them to stop and then fired in the air. One of the men turned back and disappeared in an alley. The other continued to run toward Sheehan. Aft- er again ordering him to stop Shee- han fired at him. Two Others Arrested. The fleeing man did not stop. He turned west and ran through several alleys and Sheehan lost track of him. Schmidt and Copeland arrested Mali- mee and Morgan after chasing them several blocks. The yard where Woods was found was about two blocks from the scene of the shooting. Thiemeyer identified the and as his property. He said three were stolen. The police have not yet found the third. The butcher shop door was opened with a duplicate or skeleton key. PUPILS’ SHORT SKIRTS SAVE MONEY FOR SCHOOL BOARD The Alton School Board is saving on its bill for oiling floors because young women pupils who formerly wore long skirts now wear short ones.

SHOOTING WAS IN, SALOON Woman Affirms Listlessly That Frequent Calls Were Mere- ly Neighborly.” Mrs. Josephine Tiltman. 37 yeats old, of 4745 Idaho avenue, told today, at Po- lice Headquarters, of her acquaintance with Walter Jastrezemski, or Walter James, of 3224 Itaska street, whom her husband, Philip Tiltman, shot and killed last night. She made fio denial of her husband's statement that James had been visit- ing her, in the husband’s absence, for six months. Instead, she said their ac- quaintance had been going on for nearly three years, and she insisted that her husband had known of it and had not objected or warned James. Therefore, she argued, he had no right,“ at this late day, to kill James. She affirmed, somewhat listlessly, that James’ visits to her had been merely neighborly calls, and said her 16-year-old son, Philip Jr., was usually about the house, and that he had never seen anything out of the way. Says She Asked for $900. The husband says it was the youth who first told him of James’ visits to! the house, and that the wife first denied that she had a caller, then said she was afraid of James, and that a short time ago, she admitted her infatuation for James and asked him (Tiltman) for $900, that she might elope with James. When he refused the money, Tiltman says, she told him James might kill him. Tiltman is 39 years old, and is a cir- culation agent for the St. Louis Times, in charge of its downtown newsboys. He reached his home shortly before 8 o’clock last night and found that his wife and her mother had gone to bed, and had left no meal prepared for him. He told Philip Jr. to bring him a re- volver, which the son, fearing trouble, had hidden in his own bed. Putting the weapon in his pocket, he walked with the youth to the saloon at 3436 Itaska street, and went into the barroom, while the son remained in the cigar compart- ment at the front. Shoots Man in Saloon. As Ttitman entered James was standing at the bar. Without a word to anyone, Tiltman drew his revolver and fired at James four times. Two bullets entered James’ body, and one wound, in the abdomen, caused his death at the city hospital an hour later. A third bullet wound- ed Edward Wahl of 4676 Louisiana avenue, a bystander, in the thigh. Tiltman said today that he carried the revolver because of the warning his wife had given him, but-that he had not expected to find James in the saloon. * Lost Control of Himself. „When 1 did see him,“ he told a Post- Dispatch reporter today, I lost all con- trol of myself. I just took out my re- volver and started to shoot, on an un- c@htroliable impulse. I didn’t even see the other man standing there, and I am very sorry he was hurt. “After I had fired, I don’t know how hany times, I passed the revolver over the bar, but the saloon keeper said he didn’t want it, and I took it with me as I went out. I handed my boy he had been waiting outside the saloon— and told him to take it to his mother and tell her it was all over. Then 1 kept on walking until I met a police- man, and told him I had shot a man. I saw James in the same saloon three weeks ago, Tiltman continued, “and told him to keep away from my house or I would kill him. He said he would stay away, but my boy told me Wednesday that he had been there almost every day lately. A few days ago he choked my wife, struck her mother and took $3.10.” Mrs. Tiltman, when asked about this last statement, said it was true that James had choked her and taken the money. She said he was intoxi- cated at the time. 3500 FINES FOR FOUR WHO “CHARGE IT TO THE MAYOR” John Hamilton, Meyer Becker, Don Olden and Wiliam A. Connell, said by the police to be I. W. W. sympa- thizers, were fined $6500 each by Hogan today for trying to “Charge it to the Mayor.” The four went into Gmachl’s res- taurant, 712 “Pine street, last night and ate porterhouse steak and fried potatoes. They demanded pure cream for their coffee As they walked out they told Miss Ella McDon- ald, the cashier, to charge it to the Mayor. She had them arersted. In court today they refused to plead or be sworn wr testify. About 75 sympathizers were in the courtroom) After the fines were assessed they all started from the room and seemingly dragged their feet purposely to make a noise. Deputy marshals quieted them.

Referee in Bankruptcy Coles, acting under an appointment as special master to hear objections to a plan proposed by the Mutual Breweries Co., for settle- ment with creditors by @viding them into two classes and paying one class cash and giving the other class notes. reported to United States District Judge Dyer today disapproving of the plan. Under the proposed plan | creditors whose claims amounted to $50 or less were to be paid cash. Those whose claims were more than $60 were to re- ceive notes dated Oct. 6, 1914, payable on or before two years from date, and bear interest of 7 per cent, and were to be secured by, deeds of trust on the brewery property. Objecting creditors contended that this would be discrimination under the bank- ruptcy Jaw, in that two classes of cred- {tors would be created. Coles sustains this conterition. There is no doubt, he says, that the plan proposes an essential difference in the treatment to be ac- corded large creditors and that to be ac- corded small creditors. The present pay- ment of a debt in money would be es- sentially different from a promise to pay in two years, with uncertain se- curity. WOMAN AND GOCART GET STUCK IN REVOLVING DOOR Persistant and With Ald Finally Gets Inside Restaurant. A comical pantomime was witnessed by a large crowd of people at Broadway and Ollve street yesterday afternoon, when a woman tried to get into Thomp- sons Restaurant She had a baby and a go-cart and she was quizzically SCTUy, tiniring the revolving storm door that stood between her and her destination. Someone in the crowd remarked it could not be done, nd the woman tried to squeeze herself and ber baby into the small cpen compartment. The crowd laughed when she failed and that made her determined. Taking the baby into her arms she placed the go-cart inte the compart- ment, swung the door ground and stepped into the next one around. Then she started but the go-cart became wedged and she stopped The crowd became more interested and the embarrassed woman tried to extri- cate herself, but found she couldn't be- cause the go-cart stuck and prevented the moving of the doors, A _ police sergeant of the traffic squad then ap- peared on the scene.

(This retirement was announced in a recent French official report.) The Germans held the railroad from St. Marie to St. Croix, menacing St. Die, where the French heayy artillery opened fire on Jan. 3. This led the Germans to expect an attack from that direction. At the same time the Alpine troops, leading the way for the French infantry, adwanced on the German cus- toms house at Diedolshausen, near Bon- homme. A strong German detachment with quick firers held the route, but the winding nature of the road prevented yards along it. The French advanced to within this distance of the Germans while the Alpine troops began to climb the heights to attack the Germans on their flank. Progress was slow and the dark forms of the soldiers, outlined against the snow, made excellent marks for the German sharpshooters. Many of the men rolled down the steep slopes, leav- ing crimson’ stains behind. The, sur- vivors pushed forward until they gained the shelter of the pines at the summit. Then began an exciting charge on the Germans at Diedolshausen. The Alpine soldiers on their skis ‘slid down ths mountain side at a dizzy’ speed, while the infantry in the road below opened fire on the Ger 18.

The 4 Germans and British Played Football; Now Fraternizing Is Taboo BERLIN, via London, Jan. 8. HE German army authorities 1 issued a general order pro- hibiting in future troops in the field from fratérnizing with forces of the enemy as they did at several points on Christmas. To such an extent was this fra- ternizing carried out that at one place, where the Germans and Brit- ish played football Christmas day, they agreéd to suspend hostilitiés for two days more. to war, and can look back on a record of hard fighting such as British troops seldém have sustained in thé past. The struggle of the last four months has en- tered upon its fourth phase. “A slow but none thé less marked change whfth has taken place has ré- sulted in the definite passing of the ini- tiative into the hands of the allies. This is not shown 86 much by material re- silts obtained, although at some points of the allled front ground has been gained and in some places very marked progress has been made, resulting in the capture of guns and strofigly intrenched positions; but our advantage lies in the fact that it is now the allies Who for the past few weeks have assumed and maintained thé offensive role. while thé enemy has been acting on thé defensive. “The fact that the enemy is acting on the defensive does not mean that he has given up attacking altogether, but his attacks have been in the nature of coun- ter attacks undertaken either in order to regain ground previously lost, or to re- lieve pressure on some other part of the German line. “It is only by balancing the total re- sults of these attacks by both sides that a clear idea can be obtained. ..e ally marked progress has been achieved by the allies. “The German defensive is an active one. It is founded on the axiom of war that the weaker the force is and the more hardly it is pressed, the more per- sistently should it attack. But it re- mains true that such action is none the less essentially defensive, even though here and there one of their counter attacks may succeed in regain- ing possession of a trenth or in driving back a small section of our front. * * * If we retain the inittative it will mean that the German soldier gradually will becoms increasingly conscious that he is no longer marching on Calais or Paris; that instead of pressing forward his role is mérély to maintain what already has been won and that even this Umited object has not been attained. Hitherto he has continually been told that reinforcements are about to arrive and that an advance in forcé is immi- nent, while reports of startling victories on land and sea are disseminated broad- cast. But such fabrications can no longer carry conviction when the troops realize that instead of attacking they are stationary or even retiring, and the mcrale of the enemy must inévitably be affected. “The more thoroughly they are now decelved as to the true position, the greater will be the disillusionment if they realize that ultimate vietory is unattainable; While upon auch an army as that of the Germans, which has been taught to éxalt the cult of the offensive almost ton fétich, the mere consciousness of being reduced to acting on the defensive must have a most discouraging effect.” After referring to the ultimate con- sequences of repeated small successes, the British observer adds: “It must not, however, be thought | that this is other than very slow and laborious progress, or that the final result is within immediate reach. Yet Slevery capture by the allies of a trench nnn, lost grund for which the enemy expendéa much blood and treasure, and is a step for- ward in the process of attrition which eventually will bring the war to an end.“ The British observer states that hé is able to confirm reports that there is considerable sickness in the Ger- man ranks. He says that for some time past there has been a good deal of typhoid, and that some German units have even been withdrawn tem- porarily on this account.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Secretary Bryan and other officials today await- ed receipt of the British Government's préliminary reply to the recent Amer- ican noté on the subject of interferences with shipping. At noon it had not been received, but officials expected that with prompt transmission it would be received and translated from the code before night. Conversation between Sir Cecil Spring- Rice, the British Ambassador, Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Lansing, have led the latter to believe the British Gov- ernment would recognize the emergency which existed, as indicated in the Amer- ican note. It has been understood here that the reply would not be completely respon- sive; in the first place, because the legal propositions advanced by the Unit- ed States, though not new and in fact ence partially accepted, have since been made subjécts of controversy and are not generally accepted as binding by all maritime Powers. That applies particu- larly to the assertion of the right to ship cargoes of food and other contra- bands of a conditional character, as well as to such absolute contraband as cop- per, where shipped to neutral countries through which it might reach a bellig- erent. Therefore, officials expect a separa. tion of these legal questions from the general representations for treatment in the subsequent note which is to come in a fortnight. Statements given out last night by both the British embassy and the State Department were the first inkling of an- other step forward by Great Britain in efforts to solve the controversy which has arisen between that country and the United States regarding seizures of American shipments. The statements set forth that so far as Italy and Holland are concerned, Great Britain has become convinced that the danger of getting contraband articles through those two countries to Germany and Austria has been practi- cally removed. Coincidentally with the announcement of the steps taken by Great Britain, Italy and the Netherlands, the State De- partment received a cable from Ameri- can Minister Van Dyke at The Hague, to the effect that the British, French and Russian Minister had given formal assurances that merchandise even of a contraband nature, when consigned to the recently established Netherlands monopoly, would not be molested on the high seas. Secretary Bryan received a personal note from Sir — Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador, stating that inas- much as the re-exportation of rosin and turpentine, known as “naval stores,’ would probably be prohibited by Italy and Holland, arrangéments would soon be completed whereby these products could be shipped without difficulty to those countries from the United States. Ship Sails for Bremen With Cotton Cargo. GALVESTON, Tex., Jan. 8&.—After X-rax tests had shown no contraband concealéd in her cargo, the American steamship Nebraskan séiled today for Bremen, carrying a cargo of 10,317 bales of cotton. The tests were made under the supervision of the British Consul in order to avoid possible de- lay by British warships searching for contraband. The Nebraskan is the second vessel to sail from Gal- veston for Bremen direct since the outbreak of the war. SORENESS, PAIN, UR ACHING JOINTS Don’t Suffer!

In addition to this, on the whole ex- tent of the front, our aggressive activity has not ceaséd to manifest itself by gains, which Will be given later in de- tail.

St. Georges includes 4 num- ber of houses in alignment between the ser Canal and a road. The inunda- tion. rendered impracticable every other way of access than the elevated high- Way and the ditch south of the canal. Everywhere eise it was water or à very liquid mud in which one sank to the knees. “St. Géorges had been organized by the enemy into à veritable Block house (walls loop-holed, barricades of sacks filled with earth, And machine guns commanding both ends). The road was occupied and guarded by. wire éntangle- ments. “The marines, chausseurs and cy- Clists, to whom, with a detachment of dragoons, had been given the honor of taking St. Georges, advanced toward the village by excavating through the road, by sapping a passagé. From place to place. this passage was éniarged, form- ing 4 shelter for troops, upon Whom devolved the task of making the as- sault. A similar work was executed along the ditch to the south. “On Dec. 27 we had reached as far as a house belonging to a ferryman, sit- uated to the north of St. Georges. This point of support fell into our hands, The assault was carried out the next day. Notwithstanding thé violent firé of the enemy, some of the marines suc- cegdéed in placing a piece of artillery on a small boat and in mountifig a bat- tery on the ditch a short distance from the houses of St. Georges, Which crum- pled up under the shell fire.

In the ruins of the village and the en- virons 300 bodies were found. Our detachment succeeded in main- tuining its ground at St. Georges not- withstanding a return offensive that our adversary delivered on Dec. 30, follow? ing a very violent bombardment in which 5000 shells of all calibers crashed into St. Georges and wrecked our trenches. Five columns of the enemy advanced by the ditch and the road, across mud banks and in water, btu all were checked by our fire. “From St. Georges to Ypres: Apart from the capture of St. Georges our armies to the north of the Lys have succeeded notwithstanding the execta- ble condition of the ground in making appreciable progress..

Waters, Aged 83, Was 55 Years in the Missouri Pacific Service. After 55 years of active service with the Missouri Pacific-Iron. Mountain Railroad system, Capt. Richard W. Wa- ters, affectionately known as Dad'' to thousands of St. Louis suburbanites, has retired to his home at 422 East Steins street. For the last 40 years Capt. Waters had been conductor of Missouri Pacific suburban trains running between St Louis and Kirkwood. He is 8 years old. Capt. Waters today told reporters that he had preserved a record of every day of his service and that if called upon to do so he could tell the exact number of passengers carried on any trip when he was on duty in the last 40 years. His first railroad service was with the London & Northwestern Railroad in England. He left this employment to enlist for the Crimean War. He says he witnessed the charge of the Light Bri- gade at the battle of Balaklava And was wounded in that battle. He came to the United States in 1860 and on the strength of his English railroad record he had no difficulty in obtaining employment with the Iron Mountain, which then ex- tended only 68 miles south from St. Louis ta Pilot Knob. His first duty was on a special train sent South with soldiers to guard the company’s bridges from Confederate raiders and bushwhackers. After the Civil War he was made general freight agent in St. Louis and served in that capacity until he was put on the Kirk- wood suburban run as conductor. Capt. Waters is a widower. He has four children, all married. WOMAN IS FOUND HANGING IN THE ATTIC. OF HER HOME Thomas Connors of East St. Louis Has Theory Wife Was Robbed and Slain.

When Connors reached home he found all the doors locked but the pantry window was open and he entered that way. He found the portieres between the reception hal, and the dining room | torn down. A dish had been thrown from the dining boom table and broken. Mrs, Connors was hanging by a piece ot rope that had been cut from a ciothesline taken from the back Lying. on the attic floor were freshly cut lengths pf the same rope. Connors and some of his neighbors had a theory that Mrs. nors was bound, robbed of the money Which she usually carried on her person, hanged, and then the bind- ing ropes cut away to create the im- rression that she had hanged herself.

WORK COULD BE FOUND Park Commissioner Wants Ap- propriation for South Side Swimming Pool. The $100,000 which the city of St. Louis has received from the National Surety Co., in a compromise on the forfeited bond of the Kern Incandescent Light Co., will not enable the city to put un- employed men to work, according to a statement today by Assistant Comptrol- ler Gunn. . Gunn, speaking for Comptroller Play. er, who was kept at home by illness, said that, even after receiving the 8100, 000 forfeit, a deficit of $351,725 at the end of the present fiscal year, next April, seemed likely. With this deficit in |prospect, he said, the city cannot un- dertake any extensive work for the sake of giving employment to men. There is much work needed by the city, and it would give employment to hundreds of men, but the city is not financially in shape to undertake it, the Assistant Comptroller said. Wants New Swimming Pool, Park Commissioner Davis is now ask- ing for the construction of a South Side swimming pool, on the old industrial school grounds, which would give em- vloyment to at least 100 laborers for a month. This request has been re- fused, because funds are not available. Davis has obtained an appropriation for bathing suits, which will enable him to employ 2 women for six or eight weeks in making the sults. The Water Department expects, be- fore long, to have work which will keep 200 men busy for a. month, or 100 for two months. This is the laying of a water main from the Chain of Rocks to the new industrial school at Fort Bellefontaine. The funds for this work are available, but certain formalities are necessary, one of them being a per- mit from the St. Louis County Court at Clayton. vis considers essential on park road- ways, chiefly rock-breaking for macad- am, would also employ 100 men or 80 a few weeks, but no fund has been found for this purpose. Gunn said the expenditures for the fiscal year ending next April, according to the present estimate, would be $11,- 001,875.50. The collections to date and the amount in the treasury at the close of business Jan. 6 total $9,478,149.48. The collections between the present time and the end of the fiscal year can be figured, on the basis of last year's collections in the same time, as 81, 172,001. This year’s tax levy is larger than last, but the proportion of col- lections thus far has deen slightly smaller, so, according to the assistant Comptroller, not much more than last year can be expécted in the remaining time. 100,000 Included. The foregoing estimate of money on hand, Gunn said, included the $100,000 collected on the Kern bond. No more extra income is in sight, he said, except the mill tax, and the city’s fiscal officials are not figuring on that until it is received. On the basis of the figures already given, a “debit balance,” or deficit of $351,728 is figured. Last year $200,000, unused by vari- ous departments, reverted to the city treasury as a surplus. This. too, is counted into the foregoing estimate. No large reversion of funds is ex- pected this year, for the reason that department demands were cut heavily at the beginnig of the year, and that little purchasing of new supplies has been done. Comptroller Player and the House and Council committees, last April and May, cut the department requests for funds for new work from $855,828 to $414,728. The biggest cut was in the Street De- rartment estimate for street bridges and culverts, which was reduced from $109,000 to nothing. An item of $51,000 for park comfort stations and band stands was cut to $6000. An appropria- tion of $118,500 was asked for a new Koch hospital, and nothing was granted. Other requests denied were $18,000 for city infirmary improvements, $10,600 for tire city sanitarium and $75,000 for a new morgue. Any of these improvements, if made, would have given many men employ- ment. The supplementary appropriation bil: will soon be presented, but this is mere- ly a shifting of funds from some de- partments to others, and Gunn said it would not relleve the situation, and that it would involve only about $40,000 this year. —— — Old People Subject to Constipation The wear of years impairs the ac- tion of the bowels.

NEW YORK LAWYER INDICTED IN CHICAGO. GRAFT INQUIRY CHICAGO, Jan. 8.—Louis Spiegel, an attorney of New York City was indicted yesterday on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the inquiry into the so- called clairvoyant trust. Max Rovech was indicted, charged with perjury, on testimony given in the investigation in- to the relations of burglars and the Chi- cago police department. Spiegel was charged with being in- volved in the extortion of $2900 from Frank Ryan, a clairvoyant. The death of Jesse Brenner, former miember of the New York police department, it was said, alone saved him from indictment also. In 1912 Ryan learned that police were on their way from Boston to ar- rest him in New York, he testified. Harry Waite, known as Prof. David K. Ross, a member of the clairvoyant ring, went to District Attorney Whitman and caused Ryan's arrest on a charge of swindling. Thus the Boston police were foiled. Then Ryan was released on $2500 bond and came to, Chicago, he testified. “IT hadn’t been in Chicago long before Spiegel and Brenner came,“ he told the grand jury. “They showed me some papers they said were extradition pa- pers to take me back to New York for jumping my bond. Brenner had left the New York police department a short time before this and was then employ:4 by a private detective agency.“ Ryan testified he had consulted Clar- ence Boord, then assistant corporation counsel and had been told the so-called extradition papers were not legal. He had paid over the $2900 demanded, how- ever, when Spiegel and Brenner had threatened to expose him. ' American Dollars $1.05 at Herne. BERNE, Switzerland.

The rise in exchange is due to heavy buying of grain in the United States for Switzerland. Thirty-five Rescued Sailors Landed. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 8—Thir- ty-five rescued sailors from the Danish motor ship Malakka, which was wrecked Dec. 18 on a ledge off Cedros Island, 300 miles south of San Diego, Cal., were brought to this port yesterday by the wrecking steamer Iaqua.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night when retirink: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.

TURNS ON GAS New York Tailor Finds Both Un- conscious; Wife Had Followed Rogers Case. NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—On arriving at his home, on the ground floor of the apartment house at 1998 Bath Gate ave- nue, the Bronx, at 11 o'clock last night, Benjamin Lapidus, a merchant tailor, found the door locked. After beating at the door and ringing the bell to arouse his wife, he forced an entrance, and was almost suffocated from gas. In his wife's room he found her and their 9-year-old son, Benjamin Jr., both unconscious. The gas, which was escaping from all the jets in the room, was turned off and two neighboring doctors were called. They found that Mrs. Lapidus and the boy not only were suffering from gas, but that both had taken bichloride of mercury. Investigation showed that the mother had given the boy the poison and then swallowed a quantity of it herself. Then ; she had turned on the gas to make death sure. Mrs. Lapidus’ motive is a mystery. It is known that she has been much in- terested in the case of Mrs. Ida Rogers, who gave her two children poison an then took some pf it herself, because the father of her children could not di- vorce his legal wife and marry her. Churchmen Expe lled by the Turks Received by the Pope ROME, Jan. 8.—Pope Benedict yester- day received more than 600 men and women—Franciscans, Benedictines, Dom- inicans, Passionists, Christian Broth. ers and members of other orders—who have been expelled from Syria and Palestine. They recounted to His Holi- ness the details of their experiences but told him there had been no loss of life. The Turks occupied all, convents, monasteries and schools held by the re- ligious orders and transformed them into barracks. They gave time, how- ever, to pile the furniture into the churches and permitted the locking up of places which could not be emptied, like libraries, which were sealed in the presence of those interested, The English and Russian communi- ties, agcording to the expelled church- men, were treated in the same way. The Italian and Spanish consuls did all in their power to assist the mem- bers of the religious orders.

The story of how he met his death its toid by his brother, Capt. Ricctotti Garibaldi. After mines had deen laid and ex- ploded, the regiment of Italian volun- teers rushed forward, shouting, ‘Viva Trieste!“ They captured the first two trenches without difficulty, but the third trench was a more difficult proposition, being separate from tne others by about 100 yards of open ground and command- }. ed by a hill. Notwithstanding this, the Garibaldians stormed the trench, but the Germans delivered a flerce counter- attack and the position of the Italian’ volunteers became difficult. Col. Peppino Garibaldi, the command- er, ordered the regiment to fall back, ani Constantino, who commanded the reserves in the second trench, Went for- ward to aid his comrades. Almost im- mediately he was struck in the neck by a bullet, which severed the carotid, and he fell within a few yards of where his brother, Peppino, was standing. 4 Lawyer Accidentally Killed.

Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But the brewing at home is mussy ind out-of-date.

Dickerman, member @ Wealthy fam- ily long prominent in Tlinois, who as Cashier of the Springfield Postoffice, lrifled the mails, pleaded guilty ig the United States District Court yesterday and was sentenced by Judge Landis of Chicago to 18 months at hard labor in the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. He was sentenced after counsel, ack- nowledged by the Court from the bench, as strong personal friends, had pleaded to modify the charge to misdemeanor, and so save their client and friend from a prison term. - Maj. Bluford. Wilson, president ‘of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis Railroad, ‘Whose daughter married Dickerman, and W. A. Northcutt, r District Attorney here, were among those who appealed for leniency. Three physicians testified Dickerman was subject to hereditary headaches, and that he was mentally and morally deficient. Postal Inspectors said Dickerman aided them in their investigations and cast sus- picion upon mail carriers and clerks. — OLQUITT F SAY DEMOCRATS PRAISED ATTACK ON PRESIDENT Texas Governor Replies to Cone Johnson and © an Rufus Hardy. AUSTIN. Tex. Jan. 8. Gov. Colquitt says he is flooded with letters from Democrats all over the country com- mending his recent attack upon the poli- gies of President Wilson. In acknow!- edging one of these comm said: “We are suffering from conditions which are due in part to the failure of certain theories and due in part to failure of some of the President's poli- cies. | A man in publie life, owing his duties to all the people, ought to have courage to point out these failures. “The reply of Cone Johnson, solicitor for the Stete. Department, speech of Congressman Rufus Hardy in Congress do not amount to answers and certainly fail as explanations. „Those of us in Texas familiar with political history recall the fact that Cone Johnson once tore off the head of the Democratic ticket with Bryan's vame on it and Rufus Hardy bolted the nomination of Bryan.“ ‘SENATOR LEWIS iLL OHIO DEMOCRAT TO SPEAK HERE Set at Twenty-Eighth Ward Club Dinner Tonight.

By a Statt Correspondent of the Post. coh, e at JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 8—A com- promise between the wet and dry ele- ments of the Senate is expected to re- sult in the appointment of a wet chair- man of the Criminal Jurisprudence Com- mittee which will handle all liquor jbills, although the majority of the com- mittee will be dry. Senator Anderson Craig of Maryville, the dry leader, has informed Mr. Buford, president pro tem, that the drys have no objection to Senator Wallace Green of Kansas City, a wet, for chairman of committee. „The drys control 20 of 34 members of the Senate, and are in a position to force the wets to give them what they want. The wets, however, have in' their number several of the more experienced members who have repu- tations as shrewd ahd successful ma- nipulators. The personnel of Senate committees probably will not be announced be- fore early next week, though the chairmanships are being settled. It is said that Senator. Robert D. Rod- — of Mexico has been decided upon a Aiman of the Judiciary Com- . Rodgers is dry. Senator Craig said today that the dry forces considered. Senator Green to be fair and that he would not be opposed by them. No Opposition te Green. „suppose there are some ex- tremely radical drys who would not favor. Senator Green,“ Craig said, but there is no real opposition to him. He is fair and that is all we ask. Senator Casey of Kansas City was chairman of the Criminal Jurispru- dence Committee two vears ago. The drys charged that he would give them no consideration. The county unit bill was passed after Casey’s committee had reported it adversely. The desire of Senators for enough money to go to St. Louis or Kansas City for the week-end held the Senate in session for more than # minutes to- day after business had been concluded. The Senate yesterday adopted a res- olution to pay the mémbers their mile- age allowance fur coming to Jefferson City and their $30 stationery allowance. The resolution was sent to the House and adopted yeste day after non, but had to be sent back to the Senate be- fore the money could be paid. Refused to Adjourn. The House clerk was slow in sending it back and the Senators refused to ad- journ until they could get their money. Senator Phelps of Carthage will draw the largest amount, $135. Senator Haw- Ikins of Dunklin County will draw $132. The amounts taper down from that to only the stationery allowance for Rep- resentative Dumm of Cole County, who gets no mileage. The Senate adjournéd until 3 p. m. Monday. No settlement has been velieliad in the squabble over the Criminal Jurispru- dence Committee in the House. Repre- sentative Farris of Phelps County, a wet, is insisting on heading the com- mittee, while Representative Shannon of Audrain County, a dry, has had a prom- ise of it and is insisting that the prom- ise be kept. Other Offers to Farris. Friends of Farris say that Speaker Boyd has been attempting to pacify Farris with the chairmanship of the Ju- diciary Committee or almost any other cemmittee, tut that Farris is holding out for the Criminal Jurisprudence. After the adoption of the rules which governed the Forty-seventh General Assembly by the House today, Rev. Dixon of McDonald County invoked the enforcement of the antismoking rule and. the ‘body adjourned until Monday at 2:30 p. m.

JURY IN BURGLARY CASE, OUT 30 HOURS, DISAGREES Tony Ortel te Be Tried Again en Charge of Entering the Lind Grocery. The jury in the case of Tony Ortel, 4246 Olive street, on trial for burglary, discharged by Judge Jones last night after being out 30 hours without reaching an agreement. Ortel and John E. Simpson were charged with forcing open a safe and stealing $408 at Lind’s grocery, Seventh and St. Charles streets, Aug. 2. Simpson pleaded guilty last Monday and was sentenced to serve four years in the penitentiary. Despite the jury’s British Press Bureau Issues Al- legations at Request of Bel- gian Legation. LONDON, Jan. 8.—At the request? , ot the Belgian Legation in London, the British Press Bureau today issued detailed allegations of the maltreat- ment of the Catholic clergy in Bel- gium and the destruction of their in- stitutions by German troops. This statement says that churches and re- ligious houses were destroyed or pro- faned in almost every village, and in many towns where the German troops passed. In most’ cases the edi- fices were. utilized as stables and prisons, and when not placed in safe hiding the sacred vessels were stolen. The statement says that in the dio- ceses of Liege, Namur. Malines and Ghent many priests and others connect- ed with the churches: were either shot or hanged. Many other priests were carried off to Germany where they ap- pear to have been subjected to abomi-' nable usage.“ These specific instances are given in disagreement in Ortel’s ca 8 se he will de the statement of the press bureau: Aug. 21: The priest of Duechen, An — — 1 — Join our Circulating Li- brary, Books only a penny a thrust tne into a house which was on fire, but dragged me out again. me off and at a distance of 20 yards they began shooting at me. pretended to be dead, and so I escaped.” of inquiry collected evidence that in the diocense of Malines alone 2% priests were killed without cause.

Ames is Lieutenant of company No. 4, stationed at Twenty-fifth and State streets. Two years ago an alarm sound- ed, signaling a fire at a certain address on Millet avenue. Ames’ company was not called out. If it had been, the members would have been at a loss to find the street, as none of them knew where it was, and the only street guide in existence, published in 1907, was in- complete. He immediately started in compiling a guide for the use of the Fire Department; containing the names and locations of all the officially named streets, 260 in number. Later, with the permission of the Police and Fire Commissioners, he be- gan work on a guide for public use. It Was necessary for him to use a City Engineer's map, and then to get prints of subdivisions, showing names and lo- cations of privately owned streets. To verify his information he went over all the ground personally. Then he rented a typewriter, some- thing he had never used, and typed out much of the material for the guide with one finger. During the work he learned that Millet avenue is near the southern city limits. It is one block long. Ames has been on the Fire Depart- and a year and halt's labor in spare’ but’ a brief ceremony. Officially ist- ing three days, it is often prolonged by festivities well beyond New Years, dur- ing which time business is suspended and the stores are closed, while the country is given up to one festive sea son which breaks the long period of winter. As in other places in Europe, the war nas interfered to some extent with the Christmas customs in Russia, such as feasting and drinking, which suffer from the rigid enforcement ot the pro- hibition laws and the diftsculty in im- porting fruits and Christmas dainties. Oranges and apples were selling on the Russian markets Christmas eve at 2% cents each. But if some homes are empty of the material accessories to the Christmas tide the spiritual and religious side of the Christmas life has been given an un- usual impulse by the Russian military successes in the Caucasus and the . er community of interests of a nation at war. On the streets the holiday season man- ifested itself in the sharp wind which sent the mercury to four below zero; the children gathered around blazing street fires, singing Christmas carols, and the bustling parcel laden crowds, exchanging greetings. All day the streets were lined with people on the way to the principal ca- thedrals for observance of the religious rites—one traditional feature of the Russian Christmas with which the war 175 5150 265 ROSEWOOD MAHOGANY These are players we took in exchange on new Pes ein They are full sige, modern, up-to-date instruments and excellent bar- gains at these prices. e have pes these low prices on them to move them quickly. 24 rolls of music, stool, scarf and bench goes with each; also Conroy’s usual guarantee.

Young, Middle Aged and Old Extol Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey The POST-DISPATOH ¢ closed the year 1914 with | the strongest evidence of newspaper supremacy ever shown in any other metropolitan city in the United States. The marvelous record was as follows: On each of 82 days last year the POST-DISPATOH carried as much or more display advertising from the merchants of St. Louis than all four of the other St. Louis papers, the Globe-Democrat, Republic, Times and Star added together on the same days. Again On each of 190 days in 1914 the POST-DISPATOH carried as much or more display advertising from the St. Louis merchants than three out of all four of the other St. Louis’ papers combined on the same days. Again On each of 271 days last year the POST-DISPATOH carried as much or more display advertising from these merchants than two out of four of its competitors added together on the same days. When we add to these facts that the POST. DISPATCH does not print special ges rejects objectionable advertising of any character, the above achievements are all the more wonderful.

The 3 should act promptly with efti- cient measures to wipe out the disgrace of slave- prison labor and fts abuses. Not less important is action on the reform of judicial procedure for which the Governor recom- mends the “conclusions of the able commission which he appointed last summer. He adds to this a recommendation that the law providing for four Supreme Court Commissioners be continued. Threé other highly important subjects of legisla- tion upon which commissions have prepared valu- able reports and action upon which the Governor urges are Fire Insurance, Workmen’s Compensa- tion and Election Laws. Without now discussing in detail the reports of the commissions on these subjects, we say that they offer excellent material for legislation. We say more, that the Legislature should embody the principal points of the recommendations in laws before the close. of the session. All of them are ot vital public interest. The report of the Legislative Committee outlin- ing an Industrial Commission which shall include the five existing bureaus, dealing with labor and industries, embodies sound policy. Concerning agriculture, education, good roads, banking laws and other subjects touched upon as Falling for betterment through legislation there will hardly be two opinions. Gov. Major has offered the Legislature a lengthy program, too long, ‘perhaps, but in the main good and embracing several measures pressing for action. St. Louis hopes for attention chiefly on the * * lines of election reform and judicial legislation. We shall present them fully when the Legislature gets ready for work. (= = * SEEING AMERICA FIRST IN 1915. Late progress in the development of the national parks of the United States includes the following: Appointment by Secretary Lane of Mark Daniels, landscape engineer of Sam Francisco, as superin- tendent of the entire system of parks, insuring a centralized directian for all scenic reservations: preparation of comprehensive plans for the im provement of the parks, to make natural wonders more accessible and provide for the comfort and convenience of tourists; growth of sentiment for the création of the Rocky Mountain National Park, embracing a Colorado area of 365 square miles and including a 30-mile extent of the continental divide; more favorable attitude “. Congress toward the bill for the creation ~ a Bureau of National Parks. While the outlook cannot 5 said to de werd ble for any very great increase in appropriations for parks at this session, some special preparations will be made for visitors en route across the con- tinent to visit the expositions on the Pacific Coast. The seeing-Amertca-first movement is expected to attain a formidable strength before the end of the war. Publicity for the great attractions of our own country, together with such prosaic things as new roads and hotels and guides, will help to keep at home much of that large fraction of a billion dol- lars a year American tourists have been accus- tomed to spend abroad. = = i i A “MEMORABLE DEAD OF 1914. No famous man or woman died during 1914. — Several celebrities went away and many who had deserved honorable mention among their fellows. Hundreds of names were listed in a “Death Roll of 1914” that came lately under our eyes. Glancing at the solid page of distinguished names, we specu- lated upon the question, which of these names will. be longest memorized by mankind? Passing over the industrial magnates, the soldiers and poli- ticlans, the minor poets and still more minor kings, prelates who left slight marks upon the general memory and plutocrats whom the world may well wish quickly to forget, we selected the following brief list of names as in our judgment likely to be borne in mind as long as those of any who passed out of life last year. JOSEPH FELS, American; soap maker and single tax e eee foremost devotee of an economic principle which many of the world’s ablest thinkers believe will finally solve the age-old problem of taxation and the distribu- tion of wealth. SIR JOHN TENNIEL, English cartoonist and illustrator; creator of over 2000 cartoons during a half century of service with Punch and of the illustrations for “Alice in Wonder- land” and other delightful books which are the common treasure of the English-reading world, ' GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE, American; in- ventor of the airbrake and other devices now in universal use. LILLIAN NORDICA, American;. a singer whose marvelously beautiful voice charmed audiences of the elect for many years in all the world’s chief cities.

The city has received $100,000 in cash on ac- count of the bond of the Kern Incandescent Gaslight Co. Why not apply this money or a work and thus supply employment to the unem~ ployed? There is plenty of work to be done on the streets and in the parks. South St. Louis should have a bathing pool similar to the pool in Fairground Park. Several cities, notably Pittsburg, have appro- priated large sums from the general revenues to meet the emergency of the unemployed. St. Jouis has the cash from an unexpected source. Put the unemployed to work. = = * rT SENATORIAL SPOILS DESPOTISM. The nomination of Ewing C. Bland for the Western District marshalship was rejected by the United States Senate, not because he was unfit for proved, the appointment. The vote was an ex- pression of the solidarity of the Senate on the privilege of Senators to dictate Federal appoint- ments in their states. Senators Reed and O’Gorman, who have led the fight for the senatorial right to dictate appoint- ments. Appointment with the consent of the Sen- ate now means ‘appointment under the direction ot the Senator in whose preserves the office lies. The senatorial courtesy which Senator Reed invoked always works one way. The President courteously yielded to Senator Reed’s persistent solicitation for the appointment of his candidate for the postmastership of St. Louis, which was under heavy protest, but courtesy for the Presi- dent or consideration for his judgment is not in the Reed-O’Gorman book of senatorial etiquette. Decency would fnterfere with that despotic con- trol of patronage which is the chief end of the patronage-machine Senator. Democratic Senators who block the adminis- tration and rebuke the President on account of patronage may think there is political profit in the +a a but we doubt it. It has yet to be dem- onstrated by the people to whom Senators are now answerable at the polls. = = * JACKSON’S ONE HUNDRED YEABS. As between the United States and Great ee the battle of New Orleans 100 years ago today de- cided nothing. Peace had been agreed upon three weeks before at Ghent, news of which had not reached this country. In its effects upon the people of the young republic, however, it was an action of first importance. Fought on the American side chiefly by fron- tiersmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, the vie- tory gained over a considerable force of British veterans was so complete that it did much to strengthen sentiments of nationality throughout the Union. It was fatal to the old Federal party, many of whose members had opposed the war. It gave American arms, which yp to that time had not played a distinguished part upon land, pres- tige at home and abroad. More significant than all else, perhaps, it introduced very conspicu- ously to the people a man who was destined to become the idol of the American democracy. There had-to be an Andrew Jackson or there never would have been an Abraham Lincoln. Jackson’s popularity carried him into the presi- dency, the first man to reach that office by the methods that now prevail. Born poor, self-edu- cated, turbulent in controversy, prodigiously able and aggressive, intolerant of opposition and yet possessed of great natural dignity and a chiv- alry that never was surpassed by Prince or knight, he was an ideal hero of a democracy that did not until his day discover how democratic it could be. | -=_ = ~ 9 9 THREE CENTS’ WORTH OF EXTRAS. According to the report of the cost-of-living in- vestigators, it costs three cents more a week to live in St. Louis than to live in Kansas City. We will be pardoned for remarking that it is worth the difference—to live in St. Louis. Kansas City will naturally be preferred by peo- ple who belleve that the cheapest is the best; by people who don't care for extras; by those shrewd persons whose prime object of existence is to see how little they can get along on, or how much they can do without. It would have appealed to the late lamented Russell Sage in his self-sacri- ‘ficing effort to store up post-mortem philanthro- pies. As between Kansas City and St. Louis, the former should attract such canny persons as are] endeavoring to live up to John D. Rockefeller’s elementary rules of finance. Perhaps we shall lose some of our Chinese residents by emigration to Kansas City, drawn by the difference between $8.50 and $8.53. But, generally speaking, man—or woman—cannot live by bread alone. For a nominal difference of 3 cents a week or $1.56 a year, St. Louis offers substantial advan- tages. The society is as good, if not better, here, and there is twice as much of it. (See the last census report.) Our location is more nearly cen- tral, and our river is vastly supérior to Kansas City’s. The latter can never aspire to be “the capital of the Mississippi valley.” To say nothing of climate or scenery, we have more “atmosphere.” St. Louis has ‘traditions and a history. It was founded by somebody and named for somebody. We have more distinction, culture, telegraph wires, picture shows, novelists, beer, automobiles, symphony concerts, grand opera, national conven- tions, painters, sculptors, dramatic stock compa- nies and business corporations, trusts, cats, dogs, horses, mules (let Kansas City brag on hes hogs if she feels like it), bears, camels, monkeys, sky- scrapers, trees, flowers, tobacco factories, electric bulbs, taxicabs, street cars, alarm clocks, smoke, noise, smells, and other signs of life than Kansas and all for the trifling extra of 3 cents a week. was an immortal. ‘The year 1914 will be longest! large part of it immediately to needed public the office, but because Senator Reed had not ap- Democratic opposition to the President, led the M City in its wildest enthusiasm ever dreamed o- FRIDAY.

Of course, there is no proof that Huerta would have restored. peace in Mexico, but the condition of things now encourages the assumption that he might have done so, and it is therefore sometimes taken for granted. “Personally, I don’t think he would. I believe he would have been ousted in time, recognized: by this country or not.

The Napoleon of baseball, for 18 years a scourge to opposing pitchers, probably the mightfest natural hitter since the great Ed Delahanty, and an air-tight plug for the second base gap on defense, last year dwindled away to the measurements of a weak- ling. In the field he was slow; at bat he was a .258 man. Apparently “finis” was written at the end of that 1914 chapter. What will the transfer to the Ath- leties do to hold him back from the brink f : Apparenty nothing. However, the presence of a fast infielder on either side of him will cut down the territory he will have to cover, while in new surroundings and with new ambitions awakened—above all, with a new manager, to whom he can look up— Lajoie may “return.

We all have a hunch that even though the present National agreement is declared illegal, the powers will pull some sort of Stand- ard Oil reorganization and do busi- ness at the same old stand. Of real moment, however, is the mext trial of a case in which it may be shown that the Federal League has no recourse against - the “double-jumper”—the man who quit an O. B. contract to sign with the Feds and then jumped back again. At present the following players will be fought for on this basis: W. Johnson, aldwell and Wingo. As soon as a second Say mage | on this 7 ture is obtained, if in favor of O. B. every player of consequence now with the Feds who “jumped” a con- tract wil be “induced” to jump back. Marsans, Lee Magee and many others come in this clAss—enough to wreck the Feds as a major league, if all are 1 withdrawn, Serious for Local Feds. HIS type of case was decided last year, in the matter of Bill Kil- lefer. This was the “clean hands“ decision. The Feds have never been satisfied with this ruling. But if it is affirmed, in another case, watch the flopping back of stars! At present the St. Louls Federal Club hasn’t a “big league or bust” outfit. It hasn’t even nine base- ball players of undoubted major league caliber. If Marsans and others are with- drawn from it, Messrs. Ball and Sti- fel won't have a look-in against the local O. B. clubs. And it all seems to be up to the next decision in the double-flop case, whether the Fed- erals here survive or die. Beside this ruling the O. B. “trust” case Seems secondary.

By W. J. O’Connor. ical machine built up by Manager Rickey and Owner Hedges of theo T* of us who have a finger on the pulse of that throbbing, theoret- Browns are not surprised that Hedges made a flying trip to Hunting- ton, W. Va., to sign George Baumgardner, a few days after he had ignored Jimmy Austin’s plea for more pay. Austin cleared the n hurdle into the Federal League. No, sir, bo; there’s no reason to get het WB even if you do acknowledge that Austin was and is one of the most conscientious workmen in base- ball, while Baumgardner generally is recognized as excellent food squirrels. The fact is that Baumgardner has a higher aN in the cardiac“ test than Austin. What is the cardiac f test? Ah, that’s something new, again, Emi 11. The cardiac test was introduced by the Rickey- mom es combine last sgea- son. It is ke n box-score form and shows in m they: detail just what ballplayers have weak hearts, or, to paraphrase it, a safron streak. Figures Show Yellow Streaks. By a great clerical effort Rickey, last season, learned in each game which batter struck out, which field- er fumbled and which base runner blundered in the pinch. He learned by mathematics who the ballplayers in the American League were that couldn’t, stand the gaff, and, inci- dentally, who could, In a word, he placed the heart of each 3 on his team and all the oppos ng teams in a scale, and weighed them, thereby determinin who had and who didn’t have the “ol stuff.” He learned who the “money layers“ were; who could do their est when it was needed. This constituted the cardic test, and it was proved that Jimmy Austin was rone to “dog” it under pressure. aumgardner, on the other hand, was comparatively cool, oblivious to the strain of going to the hill with the bases filled in the eighth inning. In- deed, Baumgardner, despite his ec- centricities measured closer to the standard of a first division or win- ning ball player than dia Austin or a few others. So Austin, the “pepper box,” cheer leader and hardest worker was per- mitted to take his weak heart over to the Feds while Baumgardner, a sort of a ne’er-do-well, was signed at a salary increase.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 8—The expected Wingo deal lagged, Friday, owing to the iliness of two gentlemen at widely sep- arated points. Miller Huggins, who came downtown to talk it over, looked weak and pale. He ate a pis's knuckle and it bit him. After chatting awhile, Hug declared that he would go home again and rest up and that he would return for further discussion late in the afternoon, if he felt better. ‘Meanwhile Buck Herzog sent word that he had to postpone his talk with President Baker of the Phillies, Mr. Baker being too ill to talk. Hence Herzie passed up the Dooin deal for the day and tan over to New York to see Mc- Graw in regard to a possible shift be- tween Reds and Giants.

Central F ive to Play Best Team Against Yeatman First Time This Season Full Strength Will Be Used Saturday. Mike Walker, Central High School's football coach, has decided to assist Coach Cullen in prepping the rejuve- nated mid-city basket-ball quintet for the remaining games on the scholastic schedule. Walker was on the job yes- terday. With his help the Central team should improve. It seems that he has the knack of making the boys play with a dash that always counts in basket ball. It was largely through Walker's ceaching last year that Central was just sat in thought Able to win the “prep’’ honors by an eleventh-hour finish.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- View today, ‘says: “The important incidents of the day were the further lowering of money rates and the remarkable rise in the rice of wheat. “So far as the stock market was con- cerned, prices were higher and trading broadened materially with indications of an enlarged public inquiry. Most of the support was from professional sources, however, with two or three of the highly speculative shares showing most activity. “There were general advances throughout the day, but the variations were generally within a point from the closing level of yesterday. “On the advance there was some profit taking in the speculative issues, which were specially active yesterday. But the tone during most of the day was strong. with the appearance of good buying in the high-grade invest - ment stocks. Missouri Pacific was the n feat - ure and Rock Island 4 per cents touched a new low record. In the late trading some of the active shares declined frac- tionally, touching a level very near the final quotations of yesterday. “A few of the inactive shares were taken at fair gains, but the market as a whole showed little change until the last hour when many of the early gains were lost. There was some activ- ity towards the close, with some of the Shares showing a declining tendency.” Wheat Market Rises. “Yesterday it was the foreign ex- change market which took the center of the stage; today it was the wheat market. A further rise of 3 cents a bushei, accompanied with excited specu- lation, brought the price to a figure 114% cents higher than at last week's closing—to a level, in fact, not reached in considerably more than a quarter of a century, except under the immediate influence of a corner in the market. “No corner exists today, and with a wheat crop larger by 16 per cent than any previous harvese in our history, neither a corner, nor an actual scarcity could 3 exist ut this time of year—s months away from the sea- son’s end. “Therefore a rise in prices such as is now in progress should be regarded with much reserve. When one takes the longer view, however, it must be said that the prospective situation is most re- markable. uropean buying does not seem lo slacken. Export sales continue to exceed a million bushels daily— something wholly unprecedented for Jan uary. This week's actual ascertained ex- ports, as summed up today, broke all records in our history, and what has doubtless fired the spec zulative imagina- tion is the question what would be the attitude of European buyers if, at the season’s end, the available American surplus from 1914 were exhausted, the promise for our 1915 crop unfavorable the war continuing and Europe's | own rain harvests for the corning ‘season sure te be deficient. These are highly interesting possi- bilities: still, it must be remembered that, except for the one named last, they may quite conceivably ail turn out differently from what aa specu- lators pictured: DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S sor TRADING ON, WALL STREET late N in- were com- initial was again backward, the Interna- tional list showing general declines 785 per cent f the 1 business, but ac- noon and prices at times as a retin of profit-taking.

Shorts in oats took heed of the rise of other grain. Commission house demand, though, was only scattering. Packers — aded provisions. The result appeared to be more than an offset for the influenee of the bulge in cereals. Prices continued to mount despite the fact that the big changes in quotations led to the doubling of margins. May sold at $1.41%. The close, however, was unsettled at 2%4c to 2%c net advance. Export sales helped to keep the corn market for the most part strong. The close was nervous, %@%c to e above last night. Wheat futures scored record prices again today, when political complica- tions between Italy and Turkey in- dicated the former country would shortly enter the European war. May wheat opened ic higher at $1.36, under an urgent demand, said to represent buying by Eastern houses for future shipment to En- gland and France. Italy also was said to be a big’ purchaser of Amer- ican wheat for immediate shipment. The market sold up —- to 31.37 ½, then reacted a fraction, only to raise to $1.38%. Thaders estimated that 1,000,000 bushels of wheat changed hands after the opening of the market. The close was firm at $1 . compared with $1.35 yester- da Care futures were firm with wheat, but the market lacked snap. Oats were firm in sympathy. Minneapolis wheat receipts today were 292 cars, against holiday last week and 269 last vear. Duluth, 21, against 37. Winnipeg, 71, against 158 Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased 20,000 bu for the week. A French cable said: ‘‘Weather con- tinues favorable for new seedings, but native offers on, ye and millers’ de- mands heavy is understood that italy is again bidding freely for all wheat offers.“ The Modern Miller said: The crop is wintering under normal conditions. There is nothing in recent weather con- ditions to promote damage. High prices of wheat have induced a big increase in marketing from the farms and reports indicatc that the movement will quickly show in terminal supplies.“ Minneapolis wired: ‘‘About 1,000,000 bu of wheat has been sold out of store here, to go to country miller, January and February shipment.’’ An Argentine cable said: “Weather generally favorable, but there are complaints of disappointing harvest- ing returns from the south and cen- ter, and excessive rain for the new corn crop.” Total clearances of wheat today were 1,155,000 bu: flour, 107,000; corn, 167 000. oats, 48,000; wheat and flour, 1 Chicago wired: “Rumored 750,000 corn worked for export. The rumor is doubtless due to purchases of fu- tures made early by houses having Eastern connections.” New York reported cash sales of wheat 1,600,000 bu; corn, 750,000; oats, 500,000. Local wheat receipts were 79,200 bu, against 58,614 bu last year; corn, 92, 400 bu, a ainst 46,800; oats, 54,400 bu, against 4,000. Chicago wheat cars yesterday were 26, corn 475, oats 140.
