Attached to the blue prints: returned to the commission by the company was a note, which read: ‘For humanitarian reasons, this com- pany finds itself obliged to refuse to consider the contract.”’ The value of the contract offered to the company was estimated at $450,000. After a meeting of directors, Charlies R. Bryson, president and general man- ager of the Electro company, said his company did not feel that it could un- dertake the contract because of its gen- eral aversion to war. “We don’t think that the warring countries should be encouraged,” said Bryson. “As long as they are able to purchase supplies of this nature the war will continue.’ .to to of St. Louls Man Recently Rejected $2,- 000,000 Order for Shrapnel. The action of the Pittsburg concern has a precedent in that of Clarence H. Howard of St. Louis, president of the Commonwealth Steel Co., zember rejected a $2,000,000 order from the allies for shrapnel. Howard is a Christian Scientist, but he said later that he acted on general humanitarian and Christian principles, and not in obedience to any particular teaching of Christiay Acience in reaching his deci- sion. INDIANS WITH EGG-SHAPED HEADS HELD AT ELLIS ISLAND Physicians Say That Four of Freaks Bound for Panama Exposition Are Imbeciles. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Unless the au- thorities at Washington decide to ad- mit six East Indians now detained at Ellis Island, visitors at the Panama Ex- position will be prevented from seeing living men whose appearance would seem to prove that man descended from the monkey. The six are Mergesar Te- indrae Shesarac, Rangia No- mahear, Lathuil Kanama, Govinda Gop- la and Jagoo Manigal Ghoi, members of a band of human cunosities. They arrived here from Havre last Thursday and are being held because Ellis Island doctors say four of the troupe are imbeciles. Mirani, who brought them from France, asserts his proteges are an in- teresting and instructive exhibit of the half-civilized dwellers of the Himalaya Mountains. He adds that immediately Japan to fill an engagement, so there is no danger of their becoming a bur- den on the community. The four looked on as imbeciles have small heads, almost egg-shaped. WOULD SEND AEROPLANES TO HUNT FOR MISSING EXPLORERS Stefansson’s Secretary Is in New York Seeking for Aid in Equip- ping Relief Expedition. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Burt M. Me- Connell, secretary to Vilhjalmur | 8tef- ansson, the explorer who with two com- panions has been missing in the ice fields of the Arctic Ocean for several months, is making another effort to in- terest friends of the explorer in a relief expedition. Aid has also been sought of the Canadian Government, under whose auspices the original expedition sailed. McConnell is anxious to send a power schooner and two hydroaeroplanes in search of Stefansson. With the ma- chines he believes it would be possible to make a thorough search of the re- gions where he is convinced Stefansson and the others reported missing are still fighting for existence. GUNNER SETS WORLD RECORD U. S. Navy Man Hits Moving Target 12 Miles Away Eight Times. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—William Ruf, Sun pointer on the battleship Texas, who is at home at Beacon, N. Y., on furlough, was notified today that he broke the world’s record in marks- manship with big guns at the recent target practice off Virginia Capes. Ruf was credited with eight straight hits with a 14-inch gun shooting at a moving target 12 miles away. For this feat the sailor will receive in- creased pay, $20 in gold, the rating of excellent in gunnery and a privi- lege to wear the letter E on his sleeve. CONCRETE BENCHES FOR PARK Cost Will Be Less and Expense of Painting Will Be Avoided. Next summer’s spooning in Forest Park is to be established on a @oncrete foudation. Park Commissioner Davis plans to replace the wooden benches with concrete ones that will stand the wear and tear better and cost 50 cents less. ‘The wooden benches cost the city § and they have to be painted every yea: and they don't last many yearé.

MAJOR'S IDEA FOR FRISCO TRIP Banjo, Guitar and Fiddle Mu- sic Favored for Missouri Day at the Panama Expositon. HERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS L State Executive to Speak Today . at Unveiling of Memorial by Daughters of 1812. No brass band for Gov. Major! So said the Governor today in talking to a Post-Dispatch reporter about his coming trip to San Francisco to observe Missouri day at the Panama Exposition on May 3. When it was announced that the Legislature was considering an ap- "propriaticn’ of $10,009 to cover the ex- penses of @ov. Major and his staff to the exposition, the Governor announced that he wished to make a showing out there that would let thé world know Missouri was on the map. Professional press agents, realizing that a brass hand makes a noise, imme- diately wished one on the chief execu- tive. But Gov. Major, who is not any- thing if not up-to-date, saw at once that a brass band wa’ somewhat sfereo- typed and passe as a rublicity producer. Masic by Old-Timers. As one of the most eminent buck and wing dancers in the State he figured out a better attraction. He would have a little group of old-time musicians from up Pike County way go along with the party as a reminder of the days of °49, “for the edification of the 234,000 Mis- sourians on the Coast’’ who, the Gov- ernor thinks, would lI:ke to hear, once more befcre they die, old-time melodies played in the old-fashioned way. Gov. Major has often danced to those old time tunes played by the backwoods virtuosos. The Governor, however,. wants it made plain that his trip will not be for the purpose of making a “big noise” for himself. Missouri's far- famed hospitality, the spirit of the pioneers of °49, the glory of one of the Union’s greatest states—these are some of the things for whigh Missouri day at the exposition will stand, he said, and for which he wants the old- time fiddlers, banjoists and guitar thrummers. . * Going to Represent State. “T am not going as a private individ- ual,” he said, “but as thé represéenta- tive of the people of Missouri. There will be representatives from other states there—Missouri must not be ashamed of the showing which she makes on that day,”’ etc. “I would like to take along five or six old-time musicians, who, I know, can play the old-time tunes. This, I think, would be a treat for the Missou- rians on the coast and their friends. You can hear great music very often— but not every day such airs as those musicians up in Pike County can get from their old instruments.”’ Gov. Major arrived here last night and was the guest of Col. H. 8S. Rum- sey of 5265 Westminster place. He spoke thig afternoon at the unveiling of the bronze tablet erected by the Daughters of 1812 at Jefferson Me- morial. Tonight he will address the mem- bers of the Missouri Retail Clothiers’ Association at their annual banquet at the Planters Hotel. He will stay over Thursday and Friday to attend the sessions of the River Terminals Conference. GUNPOWDER FOUND IN STORE AFTER FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED After a fire in Philip Silverstein’s shoe store, 4029 North Newstead avenue, had’ been extinguished last night, police- men found a paper bag containing one and one-half pounds of gunpowder on, a shelf in the rear part of the store. It was partly concealed by empty shoe boxes. Mrs. Thomas J. Hanlon and her 10 children were in their rooms on the second floor of the building when the fire started. Silverstein told the police he closed and locked his store and went to a lodge meeting about 8:45 p. m. The fire way discovered 10 minutes later. Hanlon, who owns the building also went out about 8:30 to attend a meeting, he said. FAIR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW WITH RISING TEMPERATURE THE TEMPERATURES, , lila. m 8112 (noon) ... 34 2 p. m.

DARNELL ARRESTED AFTER LICENSE 10 MARRY IS ISSUED Former Kenosha Pastor Taken in Chicago; Ruth Soper Was to Be Bride. CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—James M. Darnell, former pastor of a Kenosha (Wis.) church and man of many matrimonial adventures, was taken in custody here on a charge of having violated the Mann act. Darnell resigned his Ke- nosha pastorate after attention Was to his having a wife in Chicago, he today called although his parishioners believed was the husband of Miss Ruth Soper, who, with her child, lived at the par- sonage. Mrs. Doris Vaughn Darnell, the Chi- cago wife, was recently divorced from Darnell! and yesterday a marriage license was issued at Crown Point, Ind., to Darnell and .Miss Soper. The investigation which was made after Darnell left Kenosha revealed an- other woman, Miss Ethel Spurgeon of Avon, Ill, who had also been regarded as Mrs. James M. Darnell. The formal charge against Darnell was that he transported Miss Sopér from her home in Owatonna, Minn., to Chicago and thence to Kenosha, Wis., in violation of the Mann act. He was taken before a Federal Com- missioner, who set the hearing. for Feb. % and fixed the bond at $5000. Darnell’s attorney said that he would not attempt to obtain bondsmen imme- diately and the defendant was taken to the county jail. The marriage license, according to Darnell’s attorney, has not been used and is in nis office safe. Darnell was arrested by Deputy United States Marehals as he was entering the office of his attorney. In his application for a license at Crown Point, Ind., yesterday, Darnell said he had been married once and di- vorced once. Ruth Soper had never been married, according to the terms of the license.

LONDON, Feb. -16.—A correspondent of the Daily News in Copenhagen de- clares that public feeling toward Ameri- cans in Germany has changed since the Washington note arrived and that some Americans are already leaving that country and coming to Copenhagen. “Many are sailing for New York to- day.’’ he savs. “I hear of cases in which Americans were publicly insulted ir theaters,’ restaurants and streets of Berlin. The position of American work- ers on the war committees of the capital is becoming difficult and some members have packed their trunks and left. “A section of the German press before Von Pohl’s declaration (the admiralty order creating a war zone around the British Isles) was still making desperate efforts to win American sympathy and warning young Berliners to refrain from insulting English-speaking persons. To- day Berlin makes it plain that Ameri- cans are only tolerated if they behave themselves.”’ A dispatch to the Chronicle from Ge- teva says that American students of hoth sexes who remained in German uni- versities are now being recalled to their homes. A small party of students from Munich and Dresden left Geneva for Paris last night, he says. One of them, who said he was W. B. Foster of Wash- ington, said: ‘There is nothing doing in Germany.

ST.LOUIS POST-OISPATCH CHARGES THAT WAR RING MULCTS THE U.S. OF MILLIONS Congressman Tells House of Ai- leved Huge Profits Made on Shells, Armor and Powder. CARNEGIE IS ATTACKED Army and Navy Men Are Ac- cused of Being Tools of the ‘‘Trust.”’ Wire From the Washington Bu- reaun of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Sensational Charges against an alleged ‘‘war traf- fi. trust,” composed of American and foreign armor-plate, ammunition and gun manufacturers, of mulcting§ the United States and European countries of vast gums of money through conniv- a@ice with army and navy officers and members of legislative bodies, were made by Congressman Clyde H. Tave- ner of Illinois in the House. “T mean to say.’ he declared, ‘that these army and navy officers who do the purchasing of war munitions, and who are paid a salary by the people. and are trusted by the people to see that the Government receives a dollar's worth of material for every dollar ex- pended, have permitted a ring of am- rmaunition manufacturers to charge Uncle Sam outrageously ior armor, guns, pow- der and munitions in general. “For instance, the War Department in 1913, purchased 7000 4.7-inch shrapnel ‘shells from the ammunition ring, pay- ing $25.26 each therefor. At the same time precisely the same shrapnel was being manufactured in the Government- owned Frankford Arsenal for $15.45. “This instance is not the exception; it is the rule. The army and navy of- ficers in 20 years have purchased $175,- 000,000 worth of armor, armament and munitions from four firms which have R® monopoly in this country of the man- ufaecture of such supplies, and have paid this grasping War Trust from 2% t.. @ per cent more than the same arti- cles could have been manufactured for in Government plants.”’ Game Is Profit Making. “Armor, armament and ammunition contractors are not big enough fools to cut each others’ throats. Their business iz to supply for a gigantic profit the wherewithal for throat-cutting and the pulling of limb from limb. As for them- selves, they do not indulge in price-cut- ling warfare. Their game is pure profit making. “They start the ball rolling by making nations distrustful of one another and then induc’ng them to over-prepare for war. Doev anyone doubt that if the Hiuropean nations had not been so over- ¢repared for war they would have been 80. willing to have entered into it? “To begin with, who and what is the armor ring, if there really is such a ring, a mere figure of speech, something invisible, or is ‘t possible definitely to place our finger upon it? Answer: It is possible. “The armor ring is the Bethlehem Steel Co., the Midvale Steel Co. and the Car- hnegie Steel Co. These three firms, ex- clusive of their subsidiary war-traffick- ing auxiliaries, have drawn down since 1887 from the Navy Department alone contracts aggregating $95,608,912, divid- ed as follows: Bethlehem, $42,321,287: Carnegie, $32,954,377; Midvale, $20,333,298. Remember the names. “Now the armament ring is composed of Midvale, Bethlehem and Carnegie. Ammunition ring, Carnegie, Midvale and Bethlehem. We will add to the ammu- nition ring, for good measure, the Du- pont Powder Trust, which has no com- petitors in the sale of smokeless pow- der to the Government, for reasons that will appear most remarkable when ex- plained. By 000 for Powder. *The Powder Trust has obtained con- tracts aggregating about $25,000,000 since 19%. From the army and navy com- bined the other three concerns—Beth- lehem, Carnegie and Midvale—have ob- tained orders since 1887 exceeding $150,- 000,000."’ Tavenner called attention to the “ring’s’” acquisition of valuable Gov- ernment contracts, one of which he said was the manufacture of a 3.8-inch com- mon shrapnel shell for $17.50, gwhich could easily be manufactured by the Government for $7.94. He paid a tribute to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, saying that Daniels “by the ingenuous maneuvering’ among the war traffickers had be>n able to save some $2,000,000 from the clutches of the “greed patriots.”’ Another trick of the “ring.” Taven- ner said, was the hiring of retired army and navy officers and former members of Congress by powder, armor and ship- building concerns, thus availing them- selves of the intimate association be- tween these retired officers and men still in the service who could be val- uable friends to the employing con- cere, The Navy League was unmercifully srilled by the Illinois Congressman. He said that if the Government should ever minufacture all its ammunition § the Navy League would close up its lobby in Washington and, instead of clamor- ing for a bigger navy, would be among the loudest of opponents of such a plan. He next produced Statistics showing the relatively larger armies Great Brit- ain, Germany, France and Japan were able to maintain on the same propor- tionate national revenue.

C. Snyder, 17-year-old cadet, was expelled yesterday from the Western Military Academy at Upper Alton, IIL, on the charge of “mashing,’’ and re- yturned tdday to jis home in Chicago. Maj. George PD, Eaton, in charge of the academy, says the well-known practice of students flirting with girls on the streets will be broken up, if it is necessary to expel 60 of the cadets. He requests parents to keep their daughters from taking walks in the vicinity of the academy on Sunday and Wednesday after- noons, when the cadets are at lib- erty. Snyder and four other walking on Washington per Alton, Sunday afternon, Miss Margaret Fuchs, 17 years old, daughter of SS. H. Fuchs, alighted from an automobile at the home of her uncle, Philip Berger. Snyder according to those who observed his conduct, left his companions and hur- ried toward her, calling, “Hello, I | want to talk to you.’ Miss Fuchs paid no attention to him and hurried into the house. Sny- der followed and tried f0 open the door, but found it locked. Mrs. Berger ordered him away, but he re- fused to go. He remained standing on the sidewalk until Harry Christoe, living ecross the street, ordered him away. His conduct was then report- ed to Maj. Eaton.

THREE PLOTTERS KILLED ———— Premature Explosion Frustrated Plans to Obtain Vengeance for Beatings. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DENVER, Colo., Feb. 16.—The bomb that destroyed a rooming house in New York last summer, killing three men, was intended for the assassination of John D. Rockefeller Sr. and his son, according to Alexander Berkman, 4an- archist and I. W. W. leader, who served a term in prison for an attempt to kill H. C. Frick. Berkman has been in Den- ver several weeks to found a Ferrer school. When Matthew A. Schmidt was ar- rested a few days ago in New York, charged with complicity in the destruc- tion of the Los Angeles Times Building detectives said that Schmidt was one of the leaders of the plot to blow up the Rockefellers. Berkman today declared that he could not say that Schmidt was one of the plotters. “The plot against the lives of tie Rockefellers,” said Berkman, ‘“‘was orizg- inated in a spirit of vengeance for the brutality visited upon the I. W. WwW. workers at Tarrytown last summer, when we went up there to protest against the outrages that brought on the battles of Ludlow. “About or 30 anarchists, among them the man named Murphy, Arthur Caron, Matthew Kahn, Charles Berg and myself, all of whom had partici- pated in the demonstrations in New York City, fullowed Rockefeller there. Were Terribly Beaten. ‘Several of them were terribly beaten, among them Caron-.and. Kahn, both ar- dent young men. It was this attack evi- dently that determined those men to seek personal vengeance upon the But they took no one into their confidence except Murphy and Berg, as far as I know. I did not know anything of their plans until after the bomb had exploded. “When they were driven out of Tar- rytown, Murphy, Berg, Caron and Ka‘in went back to New York and there be- gan the manufacture of the bomb. “They had no definite date when they would use it, but it was their plan to hurl it into the automobile of the Rocke- fellers whenever they left the Tarrv- town estate. They wanted to get both of them together If possible, but would have taken the life of either one. ‘According to statements made to me by Murphy, they had the bomb almost finished when it exploded, killing Kahn, Caron and Berg. Murphy told me that he was asleep in another apartment when the bomb went off, and the ex- plosion blew him through a side wali of the building into a bunch of tel- egraph wires, but he was unhurt and made his way to the ground. He was dressed only in a nightgown, but he ran to a police station, where ne was given a poiiceman’s old uniform. Was Wearing Uniform. ‘Apparently it did not occur to the police to detain Murphy, because he came up into my office within twenty minutes after the explosion still wear- ing’ the policeman’s uniform. ‘He told me all about t’e plot to kill the Rockefellers, then he disappeared and I do not know what became of him. The police, however, have been looking for him ever since. “T was asked today if this Murphy could have been Schmidt, now under arrest in New York in connection with the Los Angeles case, but from the de- scription that is given of Schmidt, a one-eyed man, I do not think théy can be the same. “We shall never give up our cam- paign to have Rockefeller do the right thing by the people he has robbed for so many years. At present our cam- paign is inactive because we are wait- ing to see what Rockefeller does, not what he says he will do. ‘The plot to assassinate the Rockefel Plers was just another phase in the long fight for freedom. While I do not advocate violence, I believe that the laboring people are justified in the use of violence to obtain their ends, be- cause in using violent methods they are meeting violence with violence.’’ INDICTMENT FOR HAYDEN AS SLAYER OF GIBBONS REFUSED Prisoner Who Had Been Suspected of Killing Sergeant to Be Prose- cuted for Postal Robbery. The grand jury, after hearing all the evidence that could be produced against Frank Hayden, suspected of being one of the men who killed Sergeant Michael J. Gibbons at Rose- dale Station of the Wabash Ralilroad Jan. 9, at 3 a. m., refused yesterday to indict him. He will be turnéd over to the Federal authorities to be tried on a charge of robbing the safe of a postoffice. Hayden's resemblance to one of the men, as he had been described, led the police to offer a reward for his arrest and conviction. He was cap- tured three weeks ago in Biair, Neb., and brought back. Martin Koerber, the watchman at Rosedale, and Jo- seph Morrell, a ticket seller at Union Station, who sold a ticket the morn- ing of the killing to a man who said he had to get out town, were unable positively to identify Hayden. A man who looked like Hayden was treated at the Alexian Brothers’ Hos- pital on the morning of the killing for a bullet wound in the shoulder. Hayden, On examination, was found to have no wound. ‘p+ “a —— Intelligent and persistent advertising will “‘sell’’ any salable Real Estate, and the largest number of prospective buy- ers can be reached through the Post- Dispatch Big House, Home and Reai FEBRUARY 16, 1915. FIVE JITNEY MEN IN COURT: ELEVEN OTHERS RUN CARS Missing Ones Arrested Because They Failed to Get 1915 Li- censes for Machines. Five jitneys that were in service yes- terday did not appear this morning, be- cause their owners had been arrested for not having a 1915 State auto license. They had to go to court. Manager Fears, after getting the line in opera- tion, was going to court and help them get clear of the law’s clutches and back into service. Eleven machines were at Delmar and Taylor avenues to begin the day’s work, There was a substantial reinforcement in a huge truck with a capacity of W. This is the fourth motor vehicle of that sort in operation. There is another large one, and two smaller ones, that resemble police automobiles. The like- ness is increased by having conductors who stand on the rear step, collect fares and brush the seats at each end of the run. It has been observed, however, that the passengers, especially the women, prefer the touring cars, even if they are more crowded and have sometimes to pve satisfied with lap seats. Two women, though, rode downtown this morning in the 30-passenger truck. One of the trucks extended its run to King’s high- way and Delmar, competing with an independent machine which is operat- ing from that corner to Fourth and Olive streets. * ita mee 7.) 5 tS eS Et ek car, 80 oe LE CT Se. ae eee, oe ae Meee Bae eS eae es 2 Ne ee ee . ) Tr oe & © The registration books will be opened tering for the primary election, voters . erick Deibel, a miller, of 1737 Euclid ave- _— ~~ oe at Pres 9 NEE gh Ra is Siete is Pk tig ANS gl Neislalin 2. aad 9 i " 4 . +7 a) J

Wilmas, former Associate Judge of the St. Louis County Court, who was among a num- ber of county officials and ex-officials against whom actions were brought early in 1914 to recover fees alleged to have been received in excess of legal al- lowance, was dismissed late yesterday afternoon by Cireult Judge Wurdeman at Clayton, when Wilmas settied the case. The case came up Feb. 9 and was taken under advisement. Wilmas late yesterday filed a supplementary answer, stating he had paid into the county treasury $766.50, which included the amount named in the suit and interest. Treasurer's receipts accompanied the supplementary answer.

He said men who signed applications for licenses two weeks ago probably neglected to send the application or money to Jefferson City. Some owners, he sald, have sent money without the formal applications, and some have sent certified checks with- out their names and addresses. U, $.

Wood, president of the Missouri Federation o° Labor, spoke in opposition to the Dill. _ The bill provides that the contract §[ system of leasing convicts to private contractors at 75 cents a day for each convict, shal! be continued for six years. Backed by Administratien. The bill has the backing of the admin- istration through Warden McClung, who is an appointee of Gov. Major. Mc- Clung, in explaining to the committee the necessity for immediate action on the measure, declared that by next Fri- day the penitentiary would have 1200 unemployed convicts. There are 26) convicts in the prison, and McClung’s explanation showed that nearly one- half ef the prisoners would be unem- ployed. The situation which led to his state- ments involves a controversy between James Houchin, head of the Star Cloth- ing Co., and McClung ana the Board of ga - A Special Sale of Hair Goods — G J Uw Spring Srnocks At Prices That Will ia. oe as Greatly Surprise as the =i Dresses Will Delight a | 9:50 ay a | 4: We advise milady who desires a fresh, new Spring Dress in an ultra-style, to make an immediate inspec- tion of these splendid little frocks.

Wood 0 s Contract System. McClung's appearance before the com- mittee last night was principally for the purpose of answering questions. He said that he believed the contract leas-. ing system to be the proper solution of the problem which faces the Legis- lature. . He was followed by J. T. Wood, who opposed the leasing system. Wood said that organized labor believed that the State should take over the prison fac- tories. He said that labor did not ask that prison made goods be so marked, but was willing that they should go into open market and compete with goods made by organized labor. Wood suggested that the Legislature appropriate about $200,000, which should be used to take over the prison fac- tories. He said that the profit made from prison made goods could go into a fund which Wolild replace in the general revenue fund the amount ap- propriated and that the State would lose nothing. He argued that it was the obligation of the State to conduct the prison in such manner that released convicts would be reformed. He said that with | the State operating the prison, a part of the earnings of each convict should ‘ be set aside for his dependent family, or for himself when lie was released. Should Reform Men, He said that under the present sys- - tem a convict is release’ with a cheap _ mvit of clothes and %. He said that the money is not enough to take him to a distant, point, and that he is forced to seek employment where he is known as _ fn ex-convict. He argued the prison _ Should be a peformatory {ngtitution. . He was followed by Sam B. Cook president of the Central Missouri Trust ©c., which is patronized by séveral of the prison contractors, Cook attacked Wood's argument. “I am tired,” he said, “of hearing ali | . of this tommy-rot about these prison- ) ers, Organized labor, as represented by Petticoats at $1.95 All-messaline and silk jersey- Mr. Wood, is defetiding red-handed top Petticoats, with deep ac- murderers. cordion plaited flounces.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Mrs. Jackson Gouraud, whose name appeared in the official list of the Strand Registry Of- fice, London, on June Ill, 1914, as having been married that day to Alexander Miskinoff, known in her circle as ‘‘Prince,’’ now says her legal name is Gouraud and she has no intention of changing it to Miskinoff. At a hotel here a reporter was as- sured by Mrs. Gouraud, in the presence of the Russian, that she had not become Mme. Miskinoff and would not. They registered under the respective names and occupy connecting rooms. “T am always being accused of mar- rying somebody,’’ Mrs. Gouraud smil- ingly replied when the reporter asked if the marriage had been terminated by divorce. ‘“‘Several times I have been guilty, but this time I am innocent. I am not married to ‘Prince’ Miskinof? and never have been. How could I di- vorce a man to whom I have never been married?” Mrs. Gouraud was dressing to go out as she talked. Miskinoff sauntered into the room from his own and stood quiet- ly by her side. He heard her deny the marriage and seemed content with her statement. Miss Yvonne Gouraud, Mrs. Gouraud’s foster daughter, a recorded witness to the London marriage, who is registered with Mrs. Gouraud at the hotel, also was in the room and said nothing. Expects to Go Back to Paris, “It would be a terrible thing if I had married al] the men to whom the news- rapers have tried to wed me,’’ Mrs. Gouraud went on. “I have had a few husbands, *I admit, but I am still Mrs. Gouraud. Now, really, I have no hus- band, am living here quietly, doing lit- tle entertaining and doing nothing at all. As soon as possible I shall go back to Paris. That is my home. I am eager to return. I do not expect to do any nursing. That is beyond me. I do not feel equal! to it.’’ She did not seem at all in a hurry to end the interview, but with a gesture, signifying that there was no more to Say, she bowed the reporter out. Although Mrs. Gouraud'’s course in other years trained her friends not to be surprised by any disregard of con- ventions by her, they declared todav that they cannot understand her present attitude. She has appeared in the hotel daily with Miskinoff and when ad- dressed by the hotel attendants as ‘‘Mme. Miskinoff,’’ she has not appeared at all embarrassed. It has been only with old friends that she has disclaimed marital relationships with a title, and she has done so with the air of taking it for granted that they will accept as quite right anything she chooses to do. Capt. Vasalieff, naval attache of the Russian embassy in Washington, said that Maskinoffs of Russia are as nu- merous as Smiths in America, with doubtless many good people among them, but none that happens to be a Prince. Some of Mrs. Gouraud’s friends on hearing this report surmised that Mrs. Gouraud might be literally right in saying she had not married Prince Miskinoff and might have veiled her disclaimer to avoid explanations. Miskinoff did not record himself as a Prince in the London marriage registry, having said merely that he was of inde- pendent means and the son “of a Gov- ernment official of the tax department.’’ In the Picadilly Hotel he was registered as Prince Miskinoff. Aimee Crocker Maiden Name. Mrs. Gouraud began life as Aimee Crocker, daughter and heiress of E. B. Crocker, the California millionaire. Por- ter Ashe and Harry Gillig were her first serious suitors in California. She had no preference between them, according to reports at the time, and said they might fight-for her. They had a duel at poker and Ashe drew four aces and married her. Within’ one year there was a divorce and she married Gillig, di- vorcing him also in course of time. Jackson Gouraud came along and mar- red her, introducing her to his set in New York. They opened a house in West Fifty- sixth street, which became known among the smart ones for its ‘‘danzes coloriques,’’ which were spectacular, un- conventional and graced by professional dancers. Mrs. Gouraud evinced a fond- ness for big snakes and they were intro- duced in the entertainments. This spe- cles of gay life ended with the death of Gouraud, less than four vears ago. After a suitable season of retirement >Irs. Gouraud sold out the town house and a Larchmont country place, saying New York had become too dull for her and she was going to Faris. She met Miskinoff on the ship. He was in the twenties and stalwart and she many years his senior. Reports aft- erward that they had become engaged were not denied, and they seemed fully confirmed by the official record in the London registry office last June. PRIEST'S BODY TAKEN TO OMAHA Funeral Services Held for the Rev. M. P. Dowling. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 16.—Funeral serv- ices for the Rev. M. P.

We fail to see the logic of Germany’s informal reply through Count von Bernstoff to Washing- ton’s protest against the destruction of American citizens and ships by submarines in the naval war zone declared by Germany. Germany states that she will recede from her intention to attack British merchantmen, with incidental danger to American ships and citizens, if Great Britain will recede from her violation of international law in trying to starve the noncom- batant population of Germany. In other words, if England will quit keeping foodstuffs out of ‘Germany the latter will not sink American ships or drown American citizens in an effort to keep foodstuffs and other commodities out of Great Britain. Germany, in short, pleads British wrong to her as a justification of a greater wrong to America. This is an attempt to put the responsibility for any injury Germany may inflict upon us by mak- ing us responsible for Great Britain’s injury to Germany. We are asked to bear the brunt of Ger- many’s retaliation upon Great Britain. Two wrongs do not make a right. With pro- found desire to be on amicable terms with Ger- many, we cannot accept responsibility for Great Britain’s war measures towards Germany, nor submit to the sacrifice of Ameridan lives and goods through Germany’s retaliatory measures. We cannot consent to pull Germany’s naval chest- nuts out of the fire. The work of breaking Great Britain's control of the seas against German interests is not our job. It is the job of the German navy. Germany cannot plead her inability to do it as a justifica- tion for inflicting intolerable wrongs on the United States. We can only stand on our rights, warning both powers of the consequences of vio- lating them. We are not concerned with what they do to each other, but we will not submit to being made the victim of their retaliatory acts. = =] * i is — VICTORIOUS NEVADA WOMEN.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. House Bill No. 637, introduced in the House of Representatives at Jefferson City by Mr. Barbee of @aline, provides for’ the publication of the 3 “ocketa of the Supreme Court and Courts of Ap- peals in newspapers “printed in the counties where the courts are held,” which constitutes a substitute for the pamphlet dockets now author- dged by law. Under .the present law the dockets t each term are, upon being printed in pamphlet orm, sent to all attorneys of record who have es pending before either of the courts. The publication in newspapers, especially those of limited circulation, will therefore serve no useful purpose. If it is intended, as the terms of the bill clearly indicates, to substitute the newspa- .per publicatton for the pamphlet dockets and to f require the clerks of the respective courts to send Out the newspapers to interested counsel instead . 6? the dockets as is now the custom, the course will not only prove inconvenient but very un- satisfactory, as every lawyer who practices in these courts very wéll knows. If the bill is passed it will simply be a return to the old loosely conducted method in regard to _ the ‘double publication of the docket which pre- -vailed at Jefferson City 25 years ago when the clerk of the Supreme Court was also the public printer and looked warily to the enactment of such laws as would “put money in his‘ purse,” even if in se doing it was necessary to invoke Vanderbilt’s reputed expression in regard to the public. I have been informed that until the last two years, although there was no statute authorizing it. a publisher of a local paper at Jefferson City -of limited circulation has been rinting the ‘docket of the Supreme Court in addition to its “publication in pamphlet form at an added ed Opense of from $800 to $1000 per year, which has ‘been paid him from the public treasury. The stoppage of this drain accounts for the introduc- tion of this bill. There is no excuse or neces- sity for its passage and the legislator who has the public Interest in view should vote against it. JOHN F. GREEN. Ps ETN Jitney and Taxi Charges. To the Editoi of the Post-Dispatch. If a jitney carries a fare from Fourth street to Grand avenue for 5 cents why does the taxicab charge a dollar for the same service? Why does municipal ordinance grant the prerogative to the taxicab people? FRANK R. BIGNEY. The Out-of-Work Machinist. . To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. 7 In reply to Mrs. Kate Richards O’Hare’s letter *Tegarding the machinists’ “desperate condition,” I ‘would like to say there are some 75,000 wage workers in St. Louis in the same condition and the editors of the St. Louisa papers don't get paid to answer such questions. The business man can't ‘answer because it would hurt his profits. The preacher would probably refer him to some char- itable institution, but the “Machinist” refuses to accept charity. The politicians can't answer it because politics has no economic control of in- dustry and politicians have so far failed to change such conditions. The unemployed committee can’t answer it, because Mrs. O'Hare is on that com- mittee. Why not ask the officials of the organized ma- Yhinists of St. Louls? Can't they do something? OTTO J. Shorter Hours, . More Workers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. : I wish I could help Mrs. O'Hare out of her 4aif- ficulties with the unemployed.

All the time necessary for legitimate debate, | but not-an -hour for fiJibustering. This is as good a rule for the United States Senate as it is for any parliamentary body.: The fundamental principle of democratic representa- tive government is the rule of the majority. The Senate has resisted cloture on-.the ground that in the end any measure persistently supported by a majority will be adopted. But without a rule by which debates, no matter how unreasonably and uselessly they may be prolonged, can be closed, we have had disgraceful exhibitions in the Sen- ate of time-wasting and hurtful filibusters. Senators in the minority hold the floor for hours, making vain repetitions of wornout argu- ments, reading statistics and irrelevant articles. The admitted purpose of a filibustering opposi- tion is not to contribute to serious discussion, or to enlighten the Senate or the public on the sub- ject of debate, but to defeat the purpose of the majority by delay. We have an exhibition of that kind now in the debate on the ship purchase bill. It is a meas- ure vitally affecting the business of the country, the element of time is vital. Yet the Senate mi- uority is delaying action and holding up this and all other pressing legislative work, by senseless speeches. It is exhausting the endurance of the Senate and the patience of the country. Freedom of debate and the right of considera- tion are burlesqued in the antics of the filibusters. The Senate should have a reasonable cloture rule. It is necessary for the transaction of parliamen- tary business. a A A. ~~ we JAMES CREELMAN. Among the great “special commissioners’ —and in the days when metropolitan newspapers pride- fully designated by that name at least one writer of distinctive authority and illimitable field, there were a few of genuine greatness—none was more famous or more brilliant than James Creel- man. A book “On-the Great Highway,” which he gave to the world in 1901, is an epitome of his pro- fessional life and an index of the quality.of his work. Into each of its 20 chapters are com- pressed voluminous newspaper writings. The first tells how, with the aid of a German cardinal and Dr. Frederick Z. Rooker, he was enabled to interview the Pope. “You are very young,” Leo III gaid to him once during the conversation. That seems only a few years ago, and now Creel- man is dead, a middle-aged man. Interviews he told about in other chapters were with Li Hsi, the twenty-eighth King of Cored; Tolstoy, Kossuth, Gen. Weyler, Memdouh Pasha, a Turk leader during the Grecian war of 1897; Sitting Bull, President Hyppolite of Hayti. The present great conflict subordinates for all time many significant events at which he was an eyewitness. But his work during three wars will refute the most powerful arguments for the suppression of the war correspondent. Surely a need exists for the functions that have preserved such glimpses of war as he has given us—the Chinese Generals placing greater reliance on a prodigious noise of trumpets and drums than on their beautiful Krupp cannon; the de- fenders of Ping-Yang raising huge oiled paper umbrellas when it began to rain during the Japa- nese attack; the Chinese insistence that surren- der should be made during dry weather and that it was unchivalrous to ask it in wet weather: how battles were won by one-eyed old Gen. Yamaji, “the most terrible personality in Asia,” who, when at school, had plucked out an eye in proof to the other boys that he was no coward: the languid defense of the 16 great modern forts at Port Arthur and the slaughter by Japanese of 2000 noncombatants in the village; the insurgent band that played “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus,” s Ne eee aiead ceesi, sao i a eS eee om, Mi : y > + PE ea et ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATOH, TUESDAY EVENING, | lin defiance to the American ‘trenches during the siege of Manila; the girl correspondent whem all the horrors of war could not deter from accom- panying a column of troops in the Philippines, but who abandoned the expedition when told about the prevalence of rats along the line of march. After the Ping Yang fight Creelman went to Chemulpo to get his letter off to the New York World. There a cablegream that had followed him to 13 different Japanese camps was put in his hands. But on the way back its pleasant news was overshadowed by the return to Corea of the Japanese fleet after destroying the Chi- nese fleet in the first notable naval battle of modern times. Creelman woke up Admiral Ito ou the flagship and got the story from his own lips, “A great piece of news for you,” said Ito ag he finished it. “I’ve a bigger one,” said Creelman, well.” “Brjng champagne,” roared Ito, and with much noise there on the far-off Yellow Sea, the vric- torious Admiral and all his fleet Captaing fresh from battle drank the health of a little boy in an Ohio town, Creelman’s first child. In his description of G’adstone’s funeral at Westminster Abbey—than which he never did.any- thing better—Creelman paid tribute to the “hand that had dragged nvrivilege down and lifted hu- manity up.” It is a work to which his own hand lent loyal, steadfast aid during .the years of his active newspaper career. —_——_—_—___—_0¢04—____—_~—- UNEXAMPLED RECORD OF PALTERING. The Legislature is asked to give its assent to a bill authorizing contracts for prison labor to be entered into for a further period of six years. The record on remedial effort against contract evils in the penitentiary is one of almost un- exampled incapacity and paltering. Four years pledges abolishing the system and fixing a gen- erous allowance of time in which the prison offi- cials could prepare for the change. Compliance with the mandatory law being still resisted at the prison, the Legislature two years ago passed an enactment extending fhe Hmit by two years. In the meantime, impressive object lessons on contractor rule at the prison have been given. A special Senate committee has submitted one of the strongest official reports ever written de- the demoralizing effects of utilizing the labor of the convicts by this method ‘has | deepened. But in the face of the facts and in ‘defiance of opin- ion, an outrageous proposal is brought forward for another extension of six years. When is the thing going to end? Senator Buford is quoted as saying the bill of- fers the “only solution” of.the prison labor prob- lem. A “solution” that does not solve, that is only a confession of impotence, is not a solu- tion. Only ordinary business judgment and abil- ity on the part of the management are needed to sclve the problem. Prisons run on state account are among the most successful financially of the penal institutions of the United States. The question is something more than an im- portant question of prison policy. It has become a question of good faith with the people. An ad- ministration that lends aid in a further disap- pointment of the public’s hope will find itself on dangerous ground. The way to put the Legislature’s promise to the people in effect is to put it in effect. The way to fabolish the contract system is to abolish it. ‘= = * ww Ye EMBARGO ON VESSEL SALES. The British do not seem to feel nearly as con- fident as the filibustering stand-patters in Wash- ington that the ship-purchase bill will not pass. A new regulation has just gone into effect under which the transfer of any ship of British registry or of any share in the ownership of such ship is prohibited except on approval of the Board of Trade. As the Britisher who sells his vessel interests without approval can be put in jail, England ex- pects that in spite of Gérman submarines and the purchasing power of American dollars, considera- ble shipping will still remain under her flag at the end of the war. tee WHAT OF IT? We can’t understand how this absurdly—in- significant item ever got into the paper: CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 15.—Increase in the price of rye is held responsible for curtailment in the manufacture of whisky at many of the large distilleries in South- western Pennsylvania. The indifference of the true Southern genfle- man to the economics of rye is almost acute. We believe that statistics of consumption will show that no true Southern gentleman wil] touch rye at any price so long as a drop of Bourbon re- mains. We do not assume to say what the ef- fect would be of discontinuing the manufacture of Bourbon, but on the authority of an eminent Colonel who has thoroughly canvassed the marts where the economics of these rival beverages are established we assert that rye is a negligible fac- tor in the problem of the high cost of living to Southern gentlemen of the old school, though a staple item with Northern gentlemen of the newer regime. ‘There are, of course, exceptions among the liberal-minded cavaliers of the South, who will not discriminate against any honest red liquor on account of its ingredients or the local- ity whence it springs. All men, however, must agree there is no tradi- tion, sentiment, poetry or romance blended with rye, as with the corn product which Opie Reed so fervently apostrophized as the liquified soul of a Southern moonbeam falling aslant the dewy giopes of the Cumberland Mountains. It was not rye to which the Governors of the Carolinas so feelingly alluded, Col. Ingersoll’s tribute to rye, though it lay claim to genuineness of emotion and gfaceful expression, added nothing to the es- teem in which rye was held by exponents of the orthodox faith and Ohristian virtues. Fundamentally corn belongs above rye, if not above wheat itself, in the scale of the vegeta- ble kingdom. The most aristocratic, at the same time most democratic of vegetables, its history as old as America and honorable as that of man, corn is naturally a profounder concern than the crass grain which is the symbol and the savor, if not essence and very soul, of rank Republicanism. Let it soar or let it eink.

HE assurance that we are continually being mapped by the Japanese, and in the event of war between us the soldiers of the Mikado will be quite as familiar with the topography of our country as we are, makes one feel that one would like to catch a Japanese which military use might be made. We are told that one of our soldiers has recently sold to a Japanese a complete set of Panama maps, with keys, from which we may conclude that the work is done there, at least. they have wound up at Magdalena Bay. We have heard nothing of the Japanese in that quarter in some Whether the work has crossed the Sierra Navada, we do not know; but it is to be presumed that we shall from time to time hear of its cautious advance across the country, now showing itself in the Rockies, again on the Plains, finally crossing the Mississippi, and at length eet the unconscious sketching something of It is also probable that If so, we shall certainly see oomethdien of it here on the Mississippi, which must prospectively serve the purposes of Japanese gunboats. Probably we may be able to Luy a set of those maps in turn, and thus come into possession of a practicable scheme for deepening the Mississippi. At any rate, we can- not believe the work can pass through here unob- served; and may we not then reasonably expect the satisfaction of catching a Japanese sketching some- thing not wholly art? One naturally wonders what the French were doing while the Germans were mapping France so minutely. _ Were they, possibly, only having the vaguely dis- agreeable impression that they were being mapped, exactly as we have it now? CROWNED. WEARER a crown invisible and clear, And go my lifted royal way apart, Since you have crowned me softly in your heart With love that is half ardent, half austere. And as a queen, disguised, might pass anear The bitter crowd that barters in a mart, Veiling her pride while tears of pity start, I hide my glory through a jealous fear. My crown shall stay @ sweet and secret thing, Kept pure with prayer at even-song and morn, And when you come to take it from my head, I shall not weep, nor will a word be said, But I shall kneel before you, oh my king, And bind my brow forever with the thorn. —SARAH TEASDALE ian The International. — “DRYS’” REFERENDUM TRICK. The news from | Breet City telling legislation is to escape the provisions of the referendum is another {llustration of the insincerity and the cant in much of our talk about restoring government by the people. As a rule we are all willing and anx- ious for the “peepul” to say, but al- ways with the inward reservation that they will say it our way. The louder we “holler” often, the more pronounced is this attitude on our part. Genuine pepular government is about the last thing most of us really wish. We are rea@y on the minute te substitute our lee de en MME ms individual conscience, and judgment for that of an entire electorate and to force} them on {ft if we can. A mild autocracy makes up largely the usual conception of what democratic government ought to be. A real democrat is unfaltering in his faith to the people. He believes that they know better what they want and need than anybody else can tell them and that even imperfect government by the people is better for the people than the best government tmposed by others.

F all the spirits in heaven Theo- O dota was the most restless. Theodota was not her name; tt means simply ‘“‘God-given,’’ and names are useless in heaven, where the souls recognize each other by thought trans- mission: but that was the name by which she was subsequently to become known. She wandered to and fro, taking no more pleasure in the quiet contempla- tion of joys so unutterably divine that the most pure and ardent imagination upon earth fails to begin to compre- hend them. restlessly, seeking counsel of wiser spirits, and presently one stopped her. “It is thus at some time with all «f us,” she said gently. ‘“‘We are not pure enough to enjoy contemplation of the divine forever. It is the taste of earth- ly joys that is necessary as a correc- tive—joys and suffering. The time has come for thee to be born on earth, Theodota.”’ “Was I not once on earth before?’ Theodota asked. “Some say that the soul visits earth more than once, Theodota,’’ answered her guide. ‘‘But few of us know, and those who know will not tell. Thy time has come to say good-by to heaven for a brief space of time, incalculably brief, as we know time, but a lifetime as it {s known to mortals.’ Everywhere Was Love. HEODOTA wept, but the impulse a: toward earth was too strong in her to be restrained. Presently she found herself far from the divine joys and entering a dark cloud which men call passions, though to Theodota it seemed only a dismal and gloomy place. Envy seemed to her like light- ning, and hate like thunder, and anger like a hailstorm; but on the other hand there was love, a soft zephyr, and self- sacrifice, which seemed like balmy sun- shine. So she flew on, passing from one to another, tired and bewildered, yet driven onward without volition by the force of the earth impulse toward in- carnation. Soule are not conscious of earthly things when they have come down from heaven. If they were, would not each of us choose to be born a king or queen, or a millionaire, or with an endowment of every talent? Souls see only tho hearts of their future mothers, not their material circumstances, or those of the men who are to win them. So present- ly Theodota found herself before a young girl who was seated alone in a handsome room, looking at a diamond ring upon her finger. And it seemed t” Theodota, in her love for the girl, that she would like nothing better than to become her daughter. The Engagement Is Broken. HE door opened and a young man 1% came in. The girl rose and ran into his arms; she thought she loved him, but Theodota felt the girl's heart contract with disappointment. The soul of the girl knew that the man was not to be her mate, but the girl knew nothing of this. And Theodota, hovering by the young girl, began to fee] the hail beating on her again; the lightning flashed and the thunder pealed. “I don’t see why you should object to my having a good time, Frank,’’ the young girl said to her sweetheart. ‘Just because we are engaged—is that any reason why I shouldn't go out with any man but you?’’ ‘You'll have to choose between me and the rest,”’ answered the young man bitterly. The girl slammed down the diamond ring upon the table. “Take your old ring, then!’’ she stormed. ‘‘You’re a tyrant anyway, and I couldn't be happy with you. If you are as jealous as this before marriage, what will you be afterward?” Theodota understood nothing of what was being said, but her delicate wings ing a warmer, sunnier place a little distance away, she darted instinctively toward it. And now ensued a period of forget- fulness. Theodota had lost all memory love that enfolded her seemed sweeter than anything that had happened to her before.. Dimly she seemed to be aware of her imprisonment, and as the soulp- ter works upon the plastic clay or wax, #0 she was forming by her own desires the body that &Bhe was destined to in- habit. But of what was happening on earth, of the father’s struggles to earn of his hopes and fears and those of his young wife Theodota was supremely ig- norant. She basked in the bride's love as one basks in the sunshine, and her content was absolute. Theodota Is Born and Dies. HEN came the day when Theodo- ry ta’s happiness seemed complete. The little body she had fitted for herself was made. The house was ready for her to inhabit it. She knew noth- ing of what was happening on earth, of the doctor’s grave -face and averted eyes as he toiled over the young wife, while the husband waited in an agony of suspense without. Suddenly, with a shiver of fear, Theodota found herself a spirit again. And, freed from the bonds of human love, he longed to flee back to her t because it is given to mortals, love is omnipotent, to make their to the happy souls, and to to hear them, Theodota, about ‘Words of the young mother’s t And, with the same clarity of vision Theodota was enabled to see, and even dimly to understand the meaning of the tiny coffin that stood within the narrow room next to the chamber in which the young husband kneeled be- She wandered to and fro, side his wife. And the same prayer broke from both their lips. “We couldn’t have saved her,’’ said the doctor gravely. ‘‘No human agency could have saved her.’’ “IT know vou did your best,”’ the hus- band answered. Theodota Is Born Again. HEODOTA watching that human 7 grief, felt strangely drawn tow- ard it. She did not know that what is called grief on earth is called joy in heaven; but all her desires 'o be away vanished, and she remained wi the stricken mother, nestling a nst her and trying with all her power to comfort her. Perhaps she did not comfort her, for spirit can speak with spirit, but’ so obscurely that the outer phantom of flesh and blood, controlled by the brain, understands nothing. Only througa the instincts can one soul speak to another. But Theodota remained, until the same cloudy darkness fell upon her again, and, happy in her love, she for- got everything, to pass into a dreamy sleep. “What a dear little girl she is!” ex- claimed the happy mother, pressing, her lips to the soft cheek. ‘‘Do you know, dear, she looks exactly like that first we lost. What shall we call her?” “Call her—call her ‘the gift of God,’ ” her husband who was a scholar, ans- wered. ‘“‘How do you like the’ name Theodota?”’ * Copyright by W. G. Chapman.

HE world has a habit of gauging | T *““success”’ by its spectacular ear- marks. In business it adjusts it calipers to Span prodigious developments and coups, tremendous growths and profit monuments. In the professions the measure is set for startling discoveries, spectacu- lar achievements and widespread repu- tations. In this narrow-walled corridor of achievement there are few bronze tab- lets, and a greatly restricted list of names thereon inscribed. There’s only room for a few, and you and I and the rest of us are many, and we live our lives out of the lime- light because we are “just ordinary folks.”’ Not on the bronze tablets, but in the big ledger kept by the chronicler of life, other successes are written down, successes almost beyond number- ing; truer, more praiseworthy successes than ever were inscribed on the tab- lets of the few—victories over tremen- dous odds—the successes of just ordi- nary folks. These are the successes you and I and the rest of us should consider, for they are within our reach; the successes marched to without any music from the band, reached without any applause from the multitude, but made real by the sincerity that inspires them and by the mettle that achieves them. In short, shorr of the neecssity for spectacular exploitation ‘“‘success’’ real- | ly means “the most favorable possible result of one’s best and most sincere ef- forts to achieve that result.” : The man who sets about, not being necessarily the best bricklayer in the world, but the best bricklayer that he personally can be, and becomes that, is a ‘“‘succegs,” just as much of a real] suc- cess az though he had-made a million dollars manufacturing bricks instead of earning union wages laying them.

At any point in any man’s career he Is successful if he has risen to the greatest height of usefulness and productiveness within his power. He is more ot a real success than any man who stands above him through more fortunate circumstances, unless that man also has truly done HIS best. There are many whom the world would stamp as failures who in reality gre marked successes. There are many whom the world hails as successes, who in reality are marked failures. Money doesn’t mean succers. Fame doesn’t mean success. Sometimes they are by products of success, sometimes the dividends, but more often success leads far away from either.

He played a shallow outfield, but hardly unything ever got over his thought- tower. However, Tommy is old and his props are a bit wabbly, although he managed to steal 16 hassocks last Season, equaling our own Jack Miller in this department. Now he’s a free agent with nobody, not even the Fed- eral Leaguers,. scrambling for his services, The big reason for this is that Leach holds himself at almost the prohibitive price of $6000 per sea- son, The Cardinals could use him, if they didn’t possess Lee Magee, but inasmuch as Owner Britton ig sereneiy confident that Leopold will be back, why worry about Leach? Still Relying on Magee. It is interesting to know that Mr. Brit- ton is banking on Magee and doubly in- teresting to xnow that for that reason no offer has.been madé to Leach. And knowing all this we intend to adopt a watchful waiting policy. It wins! Britton also let it be known that al- though he recently asked and received waivers on Kenneth Nash, a Boston legislator, he will retain Nash for the present. Besides Kenneth, he has Hug- gins, J. Miller, Beck, Daringer, Butler, Betzel, Dressen and Hyatt, the home- run hitter snared from Pittsburg, for the infield. Wingo, Snyder, Glenn and Roche are the catchers, while Sallee, Doak, Robin- son, Perdue, Griner, Niehaus, Williams, Lotz, Meadows and Steele, not Rheu- matic Bill, are the pitchers. Huggins will be here Saturday tq take charge of the first squad which will leave Feb. 27. Britton says he has not been ad- vised as to what progress has been made in the dealings with Cincinnati for Ben- ton and Gonzales.

Vi. "a> ruc WHITE WEIGHS I UNDER LIMIT FOR TONIGHTS BATTLE New Yorker Expects to Give Brandt the Fight of His Life at Future City. | By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee of the Future City A. C. and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. Jabez White, the Albany (N. Y.) ban- tamweight boxer who meets Charles (‘‘Dutch’’) Brandt tonight at the Future City Athletic Club, has been here since last Saturday night. He weighed 114 pounds on his arrival, which is two pounds less than he will have to make for Brandt at 3 o’clock this afternoon. When White left here for his home last April he was not feeling well, but says he is in good condition now. Per- sons who saw him in his bouts here with Nate Kalb, ‘“Tickle’’ Sanders, Francis Hennessy, Johnny Solsberg and Bobby Burns will recall what a fast, clever boxer he is and how quickly his style took with the fans. He lost none of his matches here, the nearest he came to that being a draw with JohnaAy Solsberg, and that night Solsberg came in two pounds over weight. White is not only fast and clever but has a strong punch that must be avoid- ed to keep out of trouble. White agrees that Brandt is good—one of the best in the country—but insists that he is no slouch himself. “If he beats me,” said White, ‘‘all I have to say Is he'll] have to go some.”’ Brandt is boxing tonight not only to win from White, but for a chance at Frankie Burns. the New Jersey bantam, who is scheduled to appear here before the Coll- seum A. C. on Feb. 25. Clancy Not to Box Burke. “Bud’’ Clancy will not be able to meet Tom Burke in the semi-final, and Al Gamel has been substituted. On Saturday, Clancy complained that he is not rounding to form as he might and is not in his best condi- tion. In the preliminary, Leo Witt will meet Tommy Fleming at_116 pounds. Witt is a better boxer than Fleming. but the latter has the punch if he can drive it home, as many an amateur found out in the days of the M. A. C. boxing tournaments. President Tommy Sullivan has served notice on all the boxers billed for tonight that he will expect them to be ready when called on to enter the ring. All the bouts will be for eight rounds. and Sullivan says he will start them promptly at 8:30 o'clock, —- Sullivan Announces That Negro Boxers Will Not be Allowed Use of Future City Tommy Sullivan now has )ut the final taboo on negro boxing contests at the Future City Athletic Club. The colored scrappers until recently furnished weck- ly Sunday afternoon entertainments at the Pine street club until Sullivan was informed that he was treading on dan- gerous territory. The Future City manager then decided to allow the negro biffers tu exchange wallops only on Saturday’ evenings. Tommy still felt unsafe and, acting in accordance with the ‘‘safety first’’ movement, has shut his doors on them. It is stated that Sam Dixon, who pro- moted the entertainments, is now seek- ing other quarters and if he is success- ful in obtaining a desirable hall, will open a negro boxing club. — i Concordia Turners Feast. here was no happier bunch of - cerites Sunday than the Concordia Ture- ers atfer they had trimmed the Hands A. _. at Forest Park Sunday.

ROMOTERS of the little financial war being made by the Coliseum ——" If ‘‘Dutch'’ Brandt, the Brooklyn ban- tamweight, loses in his match with Ja- bez White at the Future City tonight, the Coliseum A. C. will call off the proposed bout between Brandt and Frankie Burns and substitute another boxer with the Jersey City battler. Matchmaker Billy Weschus of the Coliseum club announced this morning that there is a possibility of another out-of-town battler making his debut in this city. If Brandt loses, Al Shu- bert of Philadelphia, who claims the bantamweight championship of New England, may be brought here as the opponent for Burns. Shubert and Burns have met in the ring before. They boxed a 10-round draw in the East last year. Shubert also claims victories over other good boys in the 118-pound class. Westhus also said there was little chance of Jabez White getting the date, should he win from Brandt tonight.

' As it was, Fowler was awarded the verdict, which was rendered by the newspaper scribes. Fowler pecked Sols- berg to shreds for seven and two-thirds rounds. In the last minute of play the Dodger uncorked a smashing left hook that landed on Fowler's jaw a Monk on him. The local feather was dazed beyond @ doubt; his eyes rolled sleepily around his bean and a glassy stara told of his danger. Solsberg hesitated a moment and then dove in.
