Kichard Madden, in whose name the passport was is- sued, and Gustave Cook of Hoboken. who, it is charged, participated in ob- taining the passport, also were indicted. Almost at the same time, Mrs. Stegler, who had been arrested early today at the Grenoble Hotel on the complaint of Arthur Mateiket, a reporter for a Ger- man newspaper, who alleged felonious assault, was released in police court, where the magistrate said that if the evidemce had been more complete he would have sent her accuser to the vorkhouse. Stegler and his codefendants entered tentative pleas of not guilty, and were given until March 10 to change them should they so desire. Application for a reduction of the $15,000 bail was refused, and the men were again locked up in the tombs. Mrs. Stegler spent the night in a cell in a pglice station. Mateiket, who ap- peared against her, told the Court that she had attacked him in a bedroom with a seltzer bottle and then had beaten him over the head with a cane.

ORTH OF WAR SUPPLIES BOUGHT — FROM U. S. FIRMS BY ALLIES Manufacturers Sell 000 Worth in First Six Months of Conflict. By Wire From the Washington Ba- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 1.—One billion is a conservative value of the trade in arms, ammunition and war supplies be- tween the allies of Europe and the manufacturers in the United States in the first year of the war. It has not been possible for American manufactur- ers to furnish war supplies to Germany because of the interruption of trade relations with that country. In the last six months the allies have bought from the United States $400,000,000 worth of war supplies. Many manufacturers in the United States hold contracts with the. British, French and Russian gov- ernments which have at least nine months and, in some instances, two years longer to run. So.enormous is the trade in war sup- plies that the Government officials in charge Of export statistics admit the incorrectness of their figures. Those in charge of the domestic and export bureaus sav that the figures issued by the department convey no idea of the tremendous traffic in war supplies.

S. Supreme Court Dismisses Injunction Against Dealer Who Moved Into Missouri. — WASHINGTON, March 1.—The Kir- meyer liquor case, one of the first im- portance to the prohibition laws of Kan- sas, was decided in the Supreme Court today against the State. It was alleged that after receivers had been appointed to oust various whole- sale liquor dealers from doing business in Leavenworth, Kan., Kirmeyer went across the river into Missouri, estab- lished a warehouge, and continued to Cceliver beer in Kansas. The Kansas Supreme Court held that his removal “was a mere device to evade the Kansas liquor law, and that the trade was not interstate commerce “In good faith.” The Supreme Court today held Kirmeyer was entitled, under decisions of the Court, to p his trade as interstate mmerce, dismissed an injunction issued by Eansas Supreme Court, Justice McReynolds stated in the opinion that the Kirmeyer case arose before the passage of the Webb-Ken- yon law, prohibiting shipments from wet to dry. territory and that neither its construction nor application was involved or would be passed on. Ad- vocates of the Webb-Kenyon law claim that measure would apply to such cases now. Justice McReynolds said decisions of the Supreme Court precluded fur- ther discussion of the following facts: Beer is a recognized article of com- merce. The right to send it from one state to another and the act of doing so are interstate commerce, the reg- ulation whereof has been committed to Congress and a state law which denies such right or substantially in- terferes with or hampers the same is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.

On Feb. 2% last, Walcher sold Beller a horse which had been stolen from the stables of A. Klauber & Sons, 1818 South Tenth street. It was traced to Beller’s farm, and he promised to let the police Know if he ever saw the man who solid him the animal. When Walcher visited him yesterday and tried to sell him an- other horse, Beller notified the police. William D. Stoltz of Affton, Mo., iden- tified Walcher as the man who on Feb. 12 sold him a horse which had been stolen from Steven Gengewitch of 1628 South Seventh street. The horse which Walcher tried to sell Beller yesterday was identified as the property of Fred Weber of 1868 Menard street. “A fellow's got to live,’’ was the onl, comment Walcher made when ues- tioned about the theft of the horses.

April 10, 1907. Post-Dispatch Circulation Last Sunday: 356,493 Equaled Only by THREE SUNDAY Newspapers : in the UNITED STATES LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Irish- American | Sympathy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Some of the German-Americans seem to think that we American-Irish sympathize with them in their cause. Let them disillusionize themselves. They would like to play on our sympathies—the freedom of Ireland, etc., but to what advantage? If Ireland were free it would be about as helpless as Belgium was, even with peace treaties guaran- téeing her freedom. What would a treaty avail when we had such an enemy as Germany after us, a country that repudiates all agreements and con: siders a treaty a scrap of paper?” - We do not sanction the freedom of Ireland un- der German rule, such would be too dangerous. We are more free than German citizens and are not at all dissatisfied; we are as much a part of the British Empire as the English and share our part In shaping the destiny of our nation. J. MURPHY. How to Get a Hearing. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Writers to the people’s column are too long- winded. Nobody reads long things nowadays. It’s a little more work to be brief, but it counts if a writer wants readers. Brevity is the soul of more than wit. TEMPUS FUGIT. Why They Read the Post-Dispatch. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While all this talk is going on about the Ger- mans refusing to read the Post-Dispatch, I must tell of something very amusing. I have a Ger- man acquaintance whom I met the other day. He began by boosting Germany, and ended up with the same old sickening phrase, “Germany over all.” Then he started in on the Post-Dis- patch, and what he didn’t say about the Post- Dispatch wasn’t worth saying; and finally ended his little speech by saying “no German should read the Post.” I said: “What are you talking about; you have a Post in your pocket right now, and I see you with one every day.” He said: “Well, I have to read the Post to get any “news.” _ §$o there you are. They condemn the Post in one breath, and in the next admit they have to read it to get the news. A TRUE AMERICAN. The Profit in Hogs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In a recent Sunday Post-Dispatch “I. M. tt’’ complains that meat packers are paying only &% cents for live hogs, and that he must pay the 17e 22c and %385c for meat, hams and break t bacon; he wants to courtmartial, line them oD nd shoot them. ? A hundred-pound hog will lose about a fourth in dressing (hogs are selling for 7 cents in St. Louis), making them cost nearly $ cents net for whole hogs with head and feet on. The fat backs are sold to grocers delivered Batesville, Ark., for 10 cents and sold to consumers for 11 cents; the hams are retailed for 18 cents. There being more risk in handling them they are sold for a larger profit. All meats containing bones are more or less subject to spoiling, and the whole ham sonietimes must be thrown away or returned to the packer and used for fertilizer and soap. As to the break- fast bacor, probably one-tenth of one hog in ten tay be fit for high-grade breakfast bacon, s0 that one pound in a hundred may be sold for a very high price after it has been cured by an @xkpensive process and sliced by a costly machine by the grocer after the end slices have been thrown aside as undesirable. I know of no law and no condition, except that of indolence or preference, which may prevent I. M. H. from keeping his pigs at home, butchering them himself and selling surplus to neighbors as cheaply as seems good to him. Batesvilie, Ark. B. B. CONINE. Car Service on the Tower Grove Line. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The public has been after the United Railways * Co. for a long time to do something that will remedy the Tower Grove line, but from the ser- vice we are getting today, it is very evident that their requests found the waste-basket of the proper head of the railway company. If the gen- tleman who effered evidence in behalf of the rail. way company in their recent hearing by stating that he rode alongside certain cars in his auto- mobile and did not find the cars crowded, will kindly stand on Sixth and Olive streets any time between 6 and 6:30 in the afternoon or on Geyer and Ohio avenues from 7:15 until 8:16 and en- @eavor to catch a Tower Grove car, not saying ing about getting a seat, I am satisfied he order his “evidence” cancelled.

Premier Okuma of Japan told Prof. Shailer Mathews of Chicago and Prof. 8S. L. Gulick of New York that the demands his country is making on China are to preserve her independence and to guard against exploitation, and propose no interference with the open-door policy. Secretary of State Hay’s note of November, 1899, formulating what has become known as the open-door doctrine, contained the following: It has seemed to this Government highly desirable that the various Powers claiming “spheres of influence” in China should give formal assurances: First, that they will in no way interfere with any treaty port or vested interest within any so-called “sphere of in- fluence” or leased territory they may have in China. Other demands in the note were that there should be no discrimination against any nation in the tariff duties, harbor dues and railroad charges of any “sphere of influuence.” Japan's reply at that time to the note was to the effect that “The Imperial Government will have no hesitation to give their assent to so just and fair a proposal of the United States.” As the Hay note looked to the maintenance of rights previously acquired in China, possibly Okuma’s claim that the open door is not now being closed is right in a narrow, technical sense. German and Austrian vested interests are “‘inter- fered with,” but this would be called a logical change of status due to war. However, while Japan does not at present in- terfere with any other past concessions, she demands new railroad and mining conces- sions of enormous value for herself. She insists that no new concessions shall be made in the future to any other nation without her consent. Though ending German and Austrian conces- sions, she does not turn them back to China. Japan grabs them for herself. Is it promoting Chinese “independence” to make the ancient em- pire wholly dependent on Japan? Is rapacious exploitation checked by the reservation of an unlimited right to exploit to Japan alone? If this is a “new Monroe Doctrine for China” then the original Monroe Doctrine was clumsily formulated. Instead of declaring that this con- tinent was no longer subject to colonization by European Powers, we should have given warning that it was subject only to colonization by our- selves. Instead of saying that the Holy Alliance would not be permitted to impose its system on the countries of this hemisphere, or control in any way their destiny, we should have said that we purposed to impose on them our system and to do ourselves all the permissible controlling of their destiny. What a different impression the Japanese de- mands would have made had they followed closely the text of President Monroe’s message 90 years ago. r= =] * a ae ae PUT THEM ON RECORD. Senate and House committees at Jefferson City have endorsed the woman suffrage constitutional amendment, proposed to be submitted to the voters at the November, 1916, election. If either chamber rejects its committee’s fav- orable report on this amendment, there should be a rolicall to show the people exactly which members are for and which are against grant- ing political justice to the women of Missouri. >= = ae. ae THE LOBBY’S CHIEF EVIL. Nine-tenths of the lobbyists at any legislative session are agents of special interests trying to get or to retain law-made special privileges. It is not this lobby’s fight to pass any particular law wanted by the special interests, nor its fight to kill any particular law wanted by the people, that chiefly makes the lobby an evil factor in legislation. It is chiefly bad because it is a strong phalanx solidly opposing all really demo- cratic legislation, whether or not its members, as individuals, have any interest in it. This lobby is the private legislature of the spe- cial interests. It gets its pay from them. Each time the people, through their Legislature, defeat a special privilege wanted by the special inter- ests, or regain one earlier granted, the field of the lobby is by so much limited. Inevitably, then, it stands opposed to all that the rank and file folk want done, and stands for all of the things they do not want done. = = * - —- NEW YORK’S WAY OUT. Comptroller Prendergast reports New York City is at the verge of bankruptcy and can escape chly by sharp retrenchment. It is not so bad as that. The city owes roundly $1,000,000,000, on which it pays about $45,000,000 a year in interest. Its taxable values exceed §$8,- 000,000,000. A good many business: firms have escaped bankruptcy in worse situations than that. Doubtless « competent receiver, clothed with plenary power to put the city’s affairs on a busi- ness instead of a political basis, could cut its year- ly outlay $20,000,000 to $30,000,000 without im- pairing its uecessary social services. Doubtless Its present managers can cut out some of the waste ahd graft in purchase, maintenance, payroll and contract expenditures. But that’s not the main chance; not the real way out of debt. When any business finds income falling steadily below outgo, it must either retrench or extend the scope of its profit-earning operations, or do both, or go broke. What Mr. Prendergast’s state- ment ignores is the possibility for his city to do more business at a profit. New York’s real way, her only way, out of debt, is to absorb for social uses—including the gradual payment of its back-breaking city debt— the socially-created land values and the _ social- ly-created profit of its revenue-earning public util- ities, which now tax tens of millions yearly out of the pockets of the Gothamites, for the sole en- richment of a few private owners. Enough new land values have been and will be created by the city’s investments in subways to pay for them—but the city doesn’t get those new values. It lets private landlords pocket them. The Rockefellers, chief owners of New York’s gas and electric industries, take millions yearly out of those services. Urban transport pays other yearly millions of profit to private owners. The telephone company earns $5,000,000 to $6,- 000,000 a year more than a fair commercial retarn on its actual {nvestment. New York’s salvation lies in finding, to manage her corporate business, some man or committee ‘with as much business sense as her ablest men , = ¥ BK. ‘ | , RIS a a Se ts ay ¥ Pa Rey io i rihae R Ri meet gi ST.

It must be backed by an aroused public opinion. = = * rr VITAL LEGISLATIVE WORK. Gov. Major’s statement that he will not in any event call an extra session of the Legislature puts the question of passing important legislative measures this session squarely up to the Demo- cratic majority. The needed work can be done if the legislators will devote their time and en- ergy to it. If the Legislature eaanh quit wasting time and labor trying to regulate the personal habits and restrict the freedom of the people of the State and devote its labors to the measures which would really count for social, industrial and commercial betterment, the legislative record would be improved. It is of vital import that property owners and business men get insurance at fair rates; that ambulance chasers be cut off from preying upon industry and workmen be as- sured of adequate compensation for injuries; that judicial procedure be improved; that banks be properly regulated; that farmers be enabled to buy and improve farm lands; that wards of the State be properly provided for; that educational institutions be efficiently maintained, and that penitentiary barbarities and abuses be abolished. All of these things can be accomplished if legis- lators work industriously and earnestly to the If they are not accomplished, if the remaining days on purpose. Legislature wastes its few talk and trivialties, so much the worse for the Democratic party. ges e¢ & o____-+—__-_-—_—_- WAKING PEOPLE UP. “The only thing that is worth while,’ President Wilson told his hearers in his Berea College speech, “is to wake somebody up.” It was Henry D. Thoreau who said: never vet met a man who was quite awake. could I have looked him in the face?’’ And William James said: “Compared with what we ought to be we are only half awake. “T have How Our fires are damped, our drafts are checked. We are making use of only a small part ofour pos- sible mental and physical resources.”’ But the waking up, both of ourselves and others, must be, as President’ Wilson said, to something worth while. It is possible to wake up as Europe did, out of one nightmare only to fall into an- other. ‘Wake somebody up,” said the President, “provided you wake them up to see the light, pro- vided you wake them up to see something that is worth seeing and comprehend something that their spirits have not hitherto comprehended.”’ There are, according to the best estimates, 1,652,- 945,900 people in the world, mostly asleep. Among those in the deepest dream are: All who think they can live crooked lives and be happy; All who think that public interests do not con- cern them; All men who think that women were created for their mere amusement; All women whose thoughts are mostly devoted to dress; All who try to live without religion, music, art, literature and whoesome recreation: All who nurse hatreds, prejudices, fatuations, avarice, uncharitableness; All who have willingly stopped growing mentally and spiritually and are fatuously content; All who believe that crime and war and poverty are a necessary and enduring part of human life, against which it is impossible to make, headway. Let us first wake ourselves, and we may then find that others have wakened with us. i Le Ler — oe a WHY THEY GET LOW SALARIES. The Kansas City Times prints a list of 35 former members of the University of Missouri faculty who during recent years went to other colleges at higher salaries. This seems to argue for higher pay at the Uni- versity of Missouri. If these 35 men were worth more money to other universities, they were worth keeping in Missouri. That view of the case, however, ignores the vital fact that college professors, with few exceptions, are of almost no utility in partisan politics. In states where the Boverning authority meas- ures a man’s value by his ability to boost the political machine, salaries of mere scientists and educators will of course be smaller than in states where a man’s value is measured by his social rather than his political usefulness. , > foolish in- = wr CAPT. KING’S RETIREMENT. Certainly any change affecting a relationship through which St. Louis has profited for so long a period as 32 years cannot be regarded as a matter of minor importance to the community. And when the change is one that terminates a service in the newspaper field as distinguished and helpful to the city as thgt Capt. Henry King has performed during his association with the Globe-Democrat, it becomes: a matter of com- munity concern and regret. The Captain gave dignity and prestige to the newspaper profession in Missouri and the West. His well-rounded character and admirably or- dered, consistent life are the source of a most wholesome influence in St*Louis. As editor of the paper since the death of Joseph B. McCul- lagh he showed himself particularly receptive to new ideas in municipal government and adminis- tration. The effective aid rendered in late months by the Globe-Democrat in providing the city with new powers and new equipment essential to its progress will be gratefully remembered. He enjoys the confidence and friendship of many of the national leaders of his party. The historic principles of Republicanism have nowhere else perhaps a more devoted advocate or sturdier defender. He is wise in asking at this time that the professional burden shall be_ shifted to youngér shoulders. An improvement in his health not only is to be hoped for, but is to be expected. Not only his political views, but his personal standards reflect the times when he did splendid fighting for the country as an officer in a Union regiment. The Captain is more than a good news- paper man. He is a chivalrous, cultured gentle- me . ? | | RUSSIA: ~s mas ett = toni ——- ee M and other religions, it served an excellent purpose in its time. odium attached to anyone else for starting a war. This let Caesar and.the other Roman militarists out, and they enjoyed the reputation of being for peace. There was some doubt in Britain and Gaul about Caesar really being for peace, but this was because the people in those countries did not believe in Ro- man mythology. When missionaries from the East appeared in Rome and urgeed a better religion, some of the most eloquent orators in the empire pointed out the peculiar advantage of Roman mythology in this respect. Caesar particularly distinguished himself on this occasion. made in Heaven, as people had supposed, the empire would become unstable through popular resentment of so much fighting, and Rome would fall. ment was in a fair way to prevail for a time, but there was one speaker on the other side, a man very much like the Rev. tremendous appeal that Caesar was assassinated by a bunch of converts as he came down off the platform, and the empire fell. o~ ? ae - « = ©” +. = ~~ OS” =? 7 -™—_ —_- - wre. | “SE ‘Fane Bais as ty Fen ieee: vat a JUST A MINUTE Pee ceria a i ee MARCH.

The welcome sight of greening grass can dissipate a lot of gloom, and sunshine peering through the glass accomplish wonders in a room. The meadowlark will come to sing us Tipperary and the rest, and sailing over on the wing the watchful goose will do his best. The set- ting sun will leave a trail of softer color in the sky, the tailor will deluge the mail with Easter suits we ought to buy, the oyster will entrench itself upon the wind-swept bill of fare, the winter fur will seek the shelf to find the moth awaiting there, the gentle breeze will softly page the woods for Summer off and on, and the robin redbreast will engage the doughty hookworm on the lawn. But quite aside from things elate and flowers wakened by the rain, the legions lying long in wait shall all resume upon the Aisne. The dreary tedium will end with men in quite another way, and cheers of gladness will ascend for getting into the affray. A checker game for twenty weeks is not at length a theme for song, nor is it wisdom quite that seeks ‘to sit at penuchle so long. At risk of death those men entrenched will hail the day that gets them out, though in the end the field is drenched with blood red-running all about. You can’t make groundhogs out of men, or keep them running with the moles; but let the southwind blow again, to see them popping from their holes! Or win or lose, or live or die, they want their fling on top of ground; they want to see the bending sky, and pass their battlecry around.

Congress will adjourn at noon on the fourth day of March, and it is unlikely that there will be a special session this year. their’ The members of Congress sacrificed chautauqua engagements last summer for the good of the country, and it seems unfair to ask them to do this again this year. They must live. St. Patrick’s day will be celebrated on the 17th, when the Irish will be assisted by the prohibitionists, who are driving the snakes out of this country. The vernal equinox will come on the 2ist. Ths will cause spring to begin, and will send the price of wheat up again. The absence of a full moon in February, which is happily not to recur in centuries, was most unfor- tunate. It gave some of the Democrats in the Senate a chance to desert the shipping bill in the darkness, and caused the first serious split in the party since Mr. Wilson went into the White House. As a result, the party will have two full moons, this month, and one thereafter regularly, exactly as the Republicans did.

He reached out and seized the limb of the sentinel burglar. At the same time he imitated the snarling bark of a dog. Naturally the burglar was startled and fell back. In an instant Kent was out ef the dog house and on his feet. He snatched up the satchel. “Drop that! Who are you?” and the burglar, partly recovering himself, flashed a revolver. Just then Kent saw a light in an upper room of the despoiled mansion. Some one was awake there. He gave the satchel a swing. It described an accurate parabola curve. Crash! bang! clatter!—through the window it went, while Kent shouted lustily: “Burglars—phone for the police!’ $5000 Is Recovered. HE burglar fired at Kent. The shot missed him. He stooped and picked up a heavy piece of wood. Again a fling. Down went the burglar senseless, and as his companion ap- peared Kent grappled with him and held him till two servants came rushing from the mansion. His part in recovering some $5000 sto- len booty would have helped Kent in public estimation anyway, but a discov- ery cleared him of all taint of crime. The man the burglars had robbed on the street was Harper Winston, and among their booty was found the miss- ing diamond ring, evidencing a consptr- acy and clearing Kent. The next day there came a notifieatior from the railway postal service award- ing Kent the coveted position. His repentance, earnest and sincere, softened fair Lena’s heart. He was through throwing dice, his chances away and other foolish actions.

They have not availed themselves of the opportunity of serious education to understand the real, lasting and encompassing joys of the life they say they love so much, but are satisfied with things only their caliber permits them to grasp. Nothing in all life is to be more desired than a capacity for enjoyment. How few of us possess the attainment. Be/ fore us each day, in panorama anew, life and its great wholesome joys spin out before us. Stop and think! Are we, through the very dullness of our souls, getting any bit of the true beauty of it?

The Caster Family Aas a Quarrel HE dining room was very quiet 7 after the maid had put away the last dish and closed the door, when a sneeze was heard and the Vinegar Bottle was heard to re- mark in sharp tones: “It is too bad we have to put up with such bad manners, and to have to live in the same block with them is more than I can stand witheut protesting. Yes, really, that Pepper family should have a place far removed from UB.’ The Black Pepper, who had sneezed, said nothing, but sank a little lower into its bottle. Not so with the Red Pepper, how- ever. He quickly jumped to tHe top of his bottle and said: “If I was as sour as you are, Mistress Vinegar, I would keep quiet about others; why, you are so sour that to stand you near a pan of sweet milk would in- stantly spoil it. “If it were not for your quiet old mother, who sometimes lives with you, everyone in this block would protest against your being here at all.” “We should not make such a fuss; all the Silver family are peeping out of their house to see what is happen- ing,” said the Oil in a soft voice; “we should live in peace, we are such ll family.” z mt onal understand at all why you say ‘We,’” said the Mustard, growing warm with anger. “If that unrefined Pepper family and that sour Mrs. Vinegar get into a dispute, why drag all the rest of us into it? I for one refuse to be prought in.’ “Don’t you dare call me unrefined,” screeched the Red Pepper. “If we had your fiery temper and did not con- trol it any better than yor, Mr. Mus- tard, then we might be called unre- fined. Unrefined, indeed!” 66 DEAR, dear,” said the Salt, who was never under cov- er, “I do wish you all would keep quiet; you disturb me very much. And you, Red Pepper, and you, cousin Black, I wish you would not jump up and down go much, You are filling the place with your fiery odor.” “If I came from the family you are said to,’ replied Red Pepper, “I would not make any remarks. Why, you do nothing but turn around every time anythine moves on the table. I have heard you got the habit from an an- cestor of yours, who turned around once too often. For my part I think it very bad manners. You are very rude, Mistress Salt.” “Don’t you dare speak about my an- cestor,” snapped Salt. “Why, the Pod family are as green as grass.” ‘How dare you call me the Pod fam- ily,” screeched the Black Pepper, who up to this time had said very little. “I am of the Berry family, and if you Sandman story of how Black and Red Pepper, Mr. Mustard, Mrs. Vinegar and Mistress Salt fall out about nothing. By Mrs. F. A. Walker. were not so ignorant you would know without being told.’’ “If you are throwing any reflections on the Fod family,’’ flashed the Mus- tard, “I will say right here that our family is as highly esteemed as the Berry or any other family, and for the | benefit of those who have not studied, I will say that our family is a very large one and is known in all parts of the world.’’ ‘When you talk about old families,” said the Black Pepper, ‘“‘perhaps some of you may not know it, but our family is very old. Why, in the Middle Ages a few pounds of pepper was reckoned a princely present, so you see we are not only a very old family, but a royal family as well.’’ oe °° laren all that may be true of you, but your cousin, Red Pepper, does not seem to be quite so fiery as he was,’’ remarked the Vinegar. ‘You need not remark about me,”’ snapped the Red Pepper, ‘‘my name is Pepper, and though I am_ another branch of the family in these days, we all warm up to the same subject. You cannot talk of family; you are just Mis- tress Vinegar, and the very mention of your name makes one’s mouth pucker, and as for Mr. Mustard, he is a hot- headed old fellow.”’ Up jumped the Mustard and the Vine- gar, and in their excitement they went over the top of their bottles. Sait was just turning to see what had happened when Vinegar fell in her dish and she turned no more. Red and Black Pepper both shook with anger, and in a second the caster was upset—and the table in disorder.

There are hundreds of nervous, run-down, overworked women in this vicinity who are hardly able to drag around and who we are sure would be wonderfully benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was. The reason Vinol is so successful in building up health and strength in such cases is because it combines the medicinal tissue building and curative elements of cod’s livers to- with the blood-making, strengthening properties of tonic iron.

The girl was discovered, arrested, tried, and according to the hard rules of war, shot. The German officer who told the story, and who approved the sentence, expressed the highest admiration, not only for her daring work as a spy; but for the unflinching courage with which she met her fate. Yet she was no braver than literally scores of heroines of peace —telephone girls who, as the company records show, have accepted life-and- death risks as a matter of course, and stuck to their posts when duty called, through fire, or flood, or earthquake. Recently Mr. George Ethelbert Walsh has collected a few examples. Typical of many similar cases is that of Julia Devine and Lorraine Davis. When the Title Guaranty Building of St. Louis, 12 ‘| stories high, and full of people, caught fire, the two girl operaturs began to send warning of the danger to every of- fice in the building. They both kept at work after the smoke poured. chokingly into their room, and until every person had been warned. They out by firemen just in time, tobe greeted by the cheers of the hundreds of escaped tenants, who had mingled with the surging crowd on the street.

She sent the alarm broadcast, fairly shouting for help, while, the fire crept closer and closer, and the building in which she was at work caught, and began to trem- ble and totter. Only when the wires were useless did she think of escape. But she was surrounded by fire ani smoke, and fell unconscious before she could reach.the door. There, fortunate- ly, the rescuers found her in time, and, rolling her in wet blankets, got her out in’ safety. Next to fire, flood has, perhaps, called forth the greatest number of heroines of the telephone. Mrs. Rooke, night operator at Folsom, N. M., was one of them. When word came that the flood, with a crest 18 feet high, was bearing down upon the town, she waited to sen4 warning to all the scattered farms in the lowlands along its path: ‘Flood coming!

Gordon, who represented the Packers’ stockhold- ers at the recent Federal League meeting in Buffalo, returned today confident that the Packers would be doing business at their old stand this year and that the Kansas City club will win its suit in Chicago next Friday and demand its place in the Federal League. Of the Buffalo meeting they haven't a great deal to say. They attended ai the invitation of Presi- dent Gilmore of the league and found when they got there that the league had decided not to ‘“‘recog- nize’’ Kansas City. However, the temporary injunc- tion filed in Chicago just before the trip to Buffalo was made had gained a big slice of recognition from all the magnates. “We {fed the suit because we believed we were ,gacting as trus- tees for the people of Kansas City in the matter,’’ Mr. Haff said to- day. ‘“‘We are convinced that Kansas City wanis major-league baseball and will support it.’’ LOLOL LOLOL OAL LAL AOA AL AL AL LOA Lh rin see how its business can be jeopardized oY the Kaw City suit.

There is no deubt that another bout between Burns and Brandt would draw a big attendance. When Burns entered the ring to box Brandt at the Coliseum it was just two years and a week to the day since he boxed Johnny Coulon 20 rounds at New Orleans and was declared the loser b3 Referee Harry Stout. The following day every daily paper in New Orleans declared Burns the winner, and the only possible concession any of them made was that Coulon might have been given a draw. The deci- sion was bitterly denounced and charges made that a gambling element in New Onrieans had been favored. The referee removed to Milwaukee, where he is now — to be doing good work in the ring. Verdict Saved Title. Coulon was then champion, and the decision saved him his fitle, but de- prived Burns of rightful ownership. On June 9%, 1814, Coulon, a wreck of his former self, met ‘‘Kid’’ Williams for the championship at Los Angeles, Cal., and Was knocked out in the third round. Though champion at the time, Coulon always claimed that he was not at his best when he fought Burns, ,because ls days ove he had won from Frankie at had then taken the HB de iy BS New Orleans and had contracted a heavy cold, from which he . n he entered the ur ns, his bout with Coulon, Burns leans in vo ga ee lek winter and has become Promoters oe have But trying to ar- range a mate urns and Champion Williams, and that is one reason why Burns was so anxious to win from ‘Brandt on last Thureday | night, eee. oe: tied for aires Leader aepeeas MUNIGIPAL BASKET TEAMS WILL PLAY FOR TILE MAR. 4 Three-G Series Between Columbian A.C. and North Side Turners Necessary. | The interdivision series between the Columbian A. C. five and the North St. Louis Turners, for the championship of the Municipal Bas- ket Ball League, will start Thursday night at Louisiana Hall. These two teams have played through their re- spective league schedules without meeting a defeat, and there is not a spot upon their claims of the division titles. The Turners played in the Tuesday night league while the C. A, C. quint was in the Saturday flight. Besides being an interleague se- ries, the games may be considered a match between basket ball players representing two sections of the city. The North St. Louis Turner five. is mainly composed of players who live in the northern districts of the city. Each of the players attended either Yeatman or Central High schools. On the other hand the C. A. C. quint is entirely made up of South Side lads. These performers, with but one ex- fception, played:on the McKinley High School team. It will be necessary for the Colum- bian team to play the entire series without a substitute. The lineup of Zachritz, Fitzgerald, Fischer, oern and Van Dach must be used in all three games, as the team did not use substitutes in any three contests in the division games. : Rodowe Abeken, Director of Mu- nicipal Athletics, will return from Chicago today, where he has been ne- gotiating for a post-season series be- ptween the local and the Windy City champs. The winners of this week’s a may also play in several other cities College Schedule Ends. Games this week will bring to a close the schedules of both the Washington and St. Louis University basket bati teams. Thursday evening Coach Keogan will take his squad of performers tv Warrensburg, Mo., where the Warrens- burg Normals will be played on Friday and Saturday nights. The Washington University quintet will entertain the Missouri University squad here Friday and Saturday nights at the Francis Field gymnasium. Much like the Pikers, the Tigers have been receiving their bumps of late, and Coach Thomas has hopes of winning probably one conferen¢e contest this season. When the two teams met at Colum- bia early in the season the local squa‘l was administered two severe wallopings. Since then, though, the Tigers have been hard hit by injuries and the maroon team may surprise all by taking a game. The high-school principals have not yet taken action on awarding the inter- scholasti¢ basket ball championship. The authorities will probably meet this week and settle matters. Yeatman in ail probability will receive the title. —___~@—-_—. COLUMBIAN A. C. NOT TO HEED PROBST’S PROTEST It was stated this morning by an of- ficial of the Columbian Athletic Club that no effort would be made to bring John Probst, latest jumper from the South Side organization, back into the athletic fold. Probst announced his intention to quit the Cc. A. C. Saturday night. The reason he gave was that the club sent irwin Mahi, an inexperienced athlete, to the Kansas City A. C. games with Nicholson and Aronson and refused to send him to the New Orleans marathon. Probst won the Southern run last year and set a record for the course. * President Wuest of the C. A. C. stated this morning that the athletic authori- ties thought that Mahl was a sure comer and wanted to start him in competition, just as it did Probst. Probst had never been entered in an out-of-town meet un- til the C. A. C. sent him away. Wuest said that the club could not afford to nd both men. cour opinion that Mahl is a good man was confirmed by his perform- ances at the games,” stated Wuest. “Although he did not win a place in the dash, the style in which he performed won him commendation from the many noted coaches at the meet.

By Robert Edgren, A Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 1.—Jack Curley arrives in Havana today. He hopes to induce Johnson to go back to Juarez with him. Up to date he hasn't dis- closed his plans for getting Johnson into Mexico. He'll have to do some tall explaining to Johnson. Johnson has said in Havana that he isn't anxious to fight Willard, in Juarez or anywhere else. He doesn’ t want to chance losing his title, least of all toa white man.

The blow was delivered through the \medium of the injunction suit against the transfer of the Kawfeds’ franchise to Newark, N. J. This suit forced the schedule- -meeting of the organization to break up without accomplishing any- thing and leaves the league up in the air at a time when it is about to start work on its new $125,000 grand stand at its New Jersey home. Until the suit is settled the league’s circuit cannot be com- pleted, its schedule cannot be ar- ranged nor can a spade be put to earth toward the construction of the needed new park, without the organization taking a firPancial chance. The launching of the suit at this time is equivalent in effect to dropping @ log chain into the feeder of a threshing ma- chine. All progress stops for the time.
