EDITION FINANCIAL MARKETS SPORTS GORDON STILL FAILS TO SHOW PUBLIC RECORDS Declines to Permit Outsiders to Go Through Files for Gov- ernor’s Expense Accounts. OFFICERS GET EXTRA PAY Membership on Boards Gives State Executive Officials Near- ly $2000 More a Year. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, March 17.—State Auditor John P. Gordon, whose failure for six weeks to produce for the inspec- tion of a Post-Dispatch reporter the expense accounts of Gov. Major, on file tn the public records of his office, amounts to refusal to produce the ac- counts, said that he did not afre if the impression formed by his refusal was that he was attempting to sequester the accounts. The accounts demanded by the Post- Dispatch are supposed to contain a de- tailed statement of Major’s personal ex- pense account of $2911 incurred during the past two years. These accounts were audited by Gor- don, who issued warrants on the State Treasury. Now Gordon persistently fails to produce the accounts, notwith- standing it has been shown to him that Gov. Major’s expenditures for this pur- pose in two years exceed by 80 per cent Gov. Hadley’s expenditures for the same purpose during four vears. Asked Twice a Week for Accounts. Six weeks ago Gordon was asked for the expense accounts. He admitted they were public records and said that he would produce them when his force of clerks had time to get them from the files. He has been asked at least twice a week since that time for them, and each time has given the same reply. This morning the Post-Dispatch re- porter told Gordon he would be giad to émploy a competent person to go to the records and get the accounts and asked permission for such a person to examine them. “ft will not grant permission,’’ Gor- don replied. “No person except the :egular employes of my office can have access to these files. When we get time you can Gordon was then cared if he did not think the refusal to permit thé aaeoanes | io be inspected would be taken by the public as an indication that he was sequestering them because of a fear of publicity of the facts contained in them. “Form Your Own Opinzien.” ‘You can form your own opinion about that,” he replied. I don’t Care what anybody thinks. Whenever my clerks get time they will produce these records and not before.”’ His attention was called to the fact that many of his clerks were frequently eway from the office and had been spending much of their time in the Sen- ate and House chambers when bills in which Gordon was interested were pend- ing. He refused to comment on that. Gordon was asked whether his fail- ure to produce the accounts was solely cn his own decision, or whether he had taken the action after counsel with any other person. “T haven't had any conference ‘with anybody else about this,’’ he said, ‘‘and don’t need to have. I am responsible for affairs in my office and it would make no difference what anybody else said."’ In response to questions Gordon said he did not know how long it would take clerks to get the papers wanted, but said they would have to go through many boxes of files and that the work might take a full day or longer. He said he did not know what the ex- pense accounts showed and that he had no interest personally in the matter. How Salaries Are Increased. A study of State Auditor Gordon's bi- ennial report, In addition to showing that Gov. Major has expended $2911 for personal expenses during two years and has paid Lieut. Gov. Paint- er $799 from the Governor’s contin- gent fund, shows that all of the executive officials of the State re- celve amounts greatly in excess of the salary fixed by the law for their offices. The law fixes the salary of Gover- nor at $5000 a year, and that of At- torney-General, Secretary of State, Auditor and Treasurer at $3000 a year each. Through the creation of boards with minor duties, on which these officers serve, their pay has been increased nearly $2000 each. These boards were created at different times several years ago. The Auditor's report shows that ov. Major last year received $6€645, and.tn addition §2078 for expenses at the Executive Mansion, which in- cluded a payment for board of em- pleoyes at the mansion. The Governor received $125 as a member of the Fund Commission, $750 as a member of the Board of Permanent Seat of Government, and $779 as a member of the State Board of Equalization.

J. Spilcker—Avoided Trial by Jury. Without a trial by jury, Fred Tracy and John Endicott, slayers of Police- man Edward G. J. Spilcker, were sen- tenced by Judge Jones today to serve life terms in the penitentiary. The acceptance of their pleas of guilty on charges of first degree nurder would have been impossible but for the statute which makes either death or life imprisonment the penalty for this crime. Marion C. Barly had been appointed dy the Court to represent Tracy and FE.ndicott. Their case was set for trial today. The State had announced that it would insist that the death penalty be inflicted. When the men were called for trial Attorney Early announced that they de- sired to plead guilty and he asked that their punishment be fixed at life imprisonment. State Opposed Pleas. Assistant Circuit Attorney McCullen erposed this, saying that in his opin- pion the death sentence should be in- flicted. sentiment against capital punishment, as shown by the fact that juries make life imprisonment the penalty in most first degree murder cases. As death ia not now the only penalty for murder, he said, it is within the province of the Judge to accept a plea of guilty and rrenounce a life sentence. Early spoke of the life of crime which his clients had led and did not attempt to shield them, except to say that they lacked the early advantages which might have made them useful citizens. McCully said the killing was premedi- tated and called attention to Spilcker’s wife and baby, whe were in the court- room. In passing sentence Judge Jones said that even though he might legally do so, he would not care to take the terrible responsibility of condemning men to the gallows without a jury trial. Policeman Spilcker was shot to death Dec. 31 at Eleventh street and Lucas avenue, when he attempted tio arrest Tracy and Endicott as robber suspects. Endicott admitted he fired the fatal shot. Early argued that there is a growing FATHER THROWS 2 CHILDREN DOWN DEEP AIR SHAT Boy and Girl Dying in New York Hospital as Result of 60-Foot Fall.

Over- wager, the defendants, who resumed his attack upon Stegler's implica- can passport. attorney for character. After denying a!l tions framed in the attorney’s question, the witness was excused and Freder- ick G. Behle took the stand. Behle said he was Stegler’s former roommate in Hoboken. He correborated Stegler’s testimony that Stegler had met Cook in Behle’s room there and that he (Behle) had stepped outside while the other two were discussing the matter of getting the papers necessary to procure Stegler a passport. Held Papers for Stegler. Edouard D. Harrington, manager of a steamship company, testified that Steg- ler had turned over to him for safe- keeping the false passport, the birth certificate alleged to have been procured by Madden for Stegler, three letters in- troducing Stegler to persons abroad and two letters and telegrams addressed to Stegler. Harrington said he turned the papers over to the editor of a New York evening paper and subsequently to an editor of a morning paper. John J. O’Brien, clerk in the Bureau ef Vital Statistics of Hudson County, New Jersey, testified he had issued to Madden the birth certificate in ques- tion. Charles G. Leonhardt, an employe of Dinglestedt & Co., custom house brokers, Before -the+ testified he- had gaming house keepers were called, Frank T. Drake, a Progressive eléc- tion sheriff in Precinct B of the Sev- enth Ward, told of his arrest at the polls by Dennis Shea, Sheriff, and a defendant, “We had had some trouble about voting foreigners,’ testified Drake, “and I objected to voting men who did not have their citizenship papers. Shea and three others came to the polis, took my gun, struck me, called me vile names, threatened my life and locked me up.” Drake said he had committed no offense and only had performed his duty as he understood it. “Little Game of Chance.” Phillip (“Pop”) Burns testified he conducted a “little game of chance” over a restaurant conducted by Wil- liam Doyle, one of the 28 men on trial. He said Doyle was his partner. He said together they gave $100 for registration and $300 for the elec- tion, and that he gave Eli H. Red- man, another defendant, $100. He tes- tified Redman said he would pay it back, Albert and James Shea, who con- duct Shea Bros.’ saloon, testified they paid $200 for registration, $400 for the election and that James gave $200 to Mayor Donn M. Roberts for the defense in the present trial. James also testified that he lent Eli H. Red- man $300 and gave him another $100. He said he had never collected any part of the $300 loan. Albert said the registration and election contribu- tions were made to Assistant Chief of Police Nugent. Voting Machine Instructions. Wade Duncan, who said he condtét- ed a saloon and gambling room, tes- tified he sent by an agent to Jack Nu- gent $150 for registration and $500 for the election funds. "Walter E. Roach, another saloon and gambling room pro- prietor, said he gave Nugent $60 for registration and $75 for the Democratic election fund. Harry Montgomery, a defendant, asked him to contribute to the trial defense fund, and Montgom- ery was given $35, he said. Mike Sweeney, who conducts a cigar store and poker game, testified he gave a total of $250 to Nugent for the elec- tion funds, and also $23 to Montgomery for the trial defense fund. Samuel Rosenbaum, a saloon keeper, said Joseph Strauss, defendant, asked him to contribute to the trial defense fund, and he gave $10. Three men who served as Democratic inspectors at ‘the election testified that Donn M. Roberts called the inspectors together and instructed them how to raise the lever on the voting machine so that it would not register when “niggers or dummies” or “men who didn’t vote right” tried to vote. George Lewis, Charles Patton and William H. Hurmslin testified that Rob. erts personally worked the machine to demonstrate the scheme. Lewis iden- tified a letter which he said he re: ceived, calling a meeting of the inspec- tors. On cross-examination, he said he was not sure he attended the nicet- ing, He also said the signature at- tached to the letter was not chat of Donn Robers. Nurses Sail for Europe.

He said Stegler had applied to the firm for somebody to identify him and had .been referred to him. He ad- mitted knowing Stegler for two years, but said he had not called him by any name until Stegler, in saying that he desired a passport, told his his name was Madden. Outlines the Defense. The Government then rested its case and George E. Cutley, for the defense, addressed the jury. He said he would prove that Stegler never saw Madden in his life; that Madden, Cook and Steg- ler were never together; that Madden had procured the birth certificate in order to get a passport for himself, and that the certificate had been stolen from him. In explanation of the finding of Steg- ler’s card on Madden, the attorney said it would be shown that this card ‘‘was left in a saloon for him,’’ and that Mad- den has voluntarily shown it to the De- partment of Justice agents. Cook took the stand as the first wit- ness in his own defense. He said he first met Stegler in a Hoboken bar- room about three years ago. He denied Stegler’s testimony that as early as September, 1914, Cook had suggested (o Stegler that he could procure an Amer- ican passport for him. He admitted meeting Stegler in Hoboken in Decem- ber and January last, but denied that he had ever had any conversation with him in regard to obtaining an Amer- ican passport or had ever &ssisted him in procuring such a document. He als> swore that he never introduced Stegler to Madden. Paid $100 for Passport, Stegler testified yvesterdav that in January he had met Cook in Hoboken and asked his aid in getting the pa- pers necessary for him to obtain an American passport, paying him $1 in advance for his services. Cook, he said, procured for him naturalization papers of a German-born § citizen. These, he said, he told Cook would not do, whereupon Cook introduced him to Madden. “I told Madden,” the witness Said, “that the people whom I represented would pay $100 for the papers I needed.” Madden, he said, procured a certifi- cate of his (Madden's) birth from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Hobo- ken, and with this Stegler said he succeeded, in the name of Richard Madden, in obtaining the passport. He paid therefor $100, he said. He admitted that he had eworn falsely in making his application. Put on Paper’s Payroll. On cross-examination Oberwager brought out that previous to his ar- rest Stegler had told his story to a reporter of a New York newspaper and had been put on that paper's payroll. Stegler denied he had said to Cook that it was the purpose of the paper's owner to “show up Mr. Bryan.” Stegler also denied having made a statement that he could get “money from other sources” for re- pudiating his story. Stegler admitted that he had gone with his story to the editor of another paper and had been given a job at $2.60 a day. “The Post-Dispatch ts the only evening news- paper in St. Louis that receives or publishes s by the Associated Presa, GIRL FORGER SAYS SHE 1S UNDER MAN'S INFLUENGE Miss Mildred Hilf, 18, Asserts Rug Salesman Induced Her to Write Check. BANK CAUSES ARREST She Had Sent Paper Bearing Name of Former Employer to Be Cashed. 18 years old, of a stenographer, last night on a Miss Mildred Hilf, 264A Tennessee Avenue, arrested at her home charge of forging her former employer's signature to a check for $100 and at- tempting to pass it at the Night and Day Bank, tried to excuse her conduct at police headquarters this morning by telling of a peculiar influence exercised over her by a rug salesman. She refused to disclose the rug sales- man’s identity to reporters, but de- clared she later would give his name to detectives. She was hysterical, la- menting the disgrace she had brought upon her mother and sister, and urging that “‘that man,’ the salesman, be caught. Detectives were inclined to doubt the salesman existed, and said she gave them the names of several different men. She Admits Charge. Miss Hilf admitted forging the $100 check. She had made it out to Mrs. Nora Redding, and had signed it with the name of her former employer, C. J. Redding of 4609A Page boulevard, who is in the feather business at Nine- teenth and Locust streets. Bank at- taches said the forged signature greatly resembled the real one. Miss Hilf had been employed ty Red- ding until about two weeks ago, when she called at the Night and Day Bank and cashed a $85 check, which she later repaid, when the bank pronounced the signature of Redding a forgery. At that time she said the check had been given to her mother by a salesman in payment for a rug. Last Monday a woman telephoned the bank and told Lyle C. Gibson, the as- sistant paying teller, that she was Mr. Redding’s wife, downtown shopping, to know if she could send a messenger with her husband’s check. Gibson con- sented. Sent Check by Soy. A few minutes later a Western Union messenger boy appeared with an enve- lope containing the $100 check. Gibson noted it was another forgery, and, by questioning the boy, learned the woman had told the boy she would wait for him in the Western Union office. Gibson ac- companied the boy there, but the wom- an had gone. The messenger’s description of the woman tallied with that of Miss Hilf, who was Known to Gibson because she trequently had called at the bank with Redding’s deposits. The bank had de- tectives call at Miss Hilf’s home at 6 c’clock Jast night. She {fs the daughter of H. C. Hilf, a traveling salesman. It was learned later that the young woman was charged with having passed a forged check for $75 on T. O. Maloney Jr., cashier of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Co. The signature which was forged was that of Dr. M. E. Haase, and she represented herself as the doc- tor’s stenographer, it is charged, when she -presented it at the insurance office. The imitation of the signature was so close that the check passed through a local bank before its fraudulent charac- ter was discovered. She tried to pass another forged check with the doctor's signature at the Franklin branch of the same insurance company, it is charged, but the check was refused because the notation ‘“‘per H. I*."’ was beneath the apparently genuine signature. FAIR SKIES WITHOUT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE THE TEMPERATURES. Yesterday's Temperatures. 45 at midnight.

In a thrilling encounter with two highwaymen who waylaid him on a lonely road, Bernhardt Fischer, 69 years old, a farmer living a mile west of Clay- ton, fell on one of his assailants and squeezed the breath out of him. Fischer weighs 210 pounds. ™ Fischer was so severely injured that he was unable to report to the county authorities until today, although tne fight occurred Monday night. Fischer, in a buggy, was returning to his home from Busch’s Grove, where he had delivered some farm products and received payment for them. At 11 p. m., just after he had turned into the McKnight road from the Clayton road he heard a command to stop. He could see two shadowy forms in the road. Robber Begins Beating Him. One highwayman grabbed the bridle and stopped the horse and the other jumped into the buggy and without a word began beating Fischer. The horse became frightened and ran away, drawing with it the man who held the bridle. After the horse had run about 20 yards the buggy was overturned. Fisch- er fell squarely on top of the robber who had been beating him. Forced to Drive Off in Buggy. The highwayman was knocked out as effectively as if he had been struck on the point of the jaw. The other robber, who had been dragged by the horse, let go the bridle and ran to his comrade’s aid. He beat and kicked Fischer, forcing him to right the buggy and get back into it. Fischer told county authorities that vhen he drove away he saw the robber carrying his unconscious companion to a clump of bushes at the side of the road.

Sudden prosperity, which came through a‘ street car accident and a set- tlement with the United Railways Co., was the undoing of George Haar, ‘4 vears old, of 3306 Chippewa street, who killed himself this morning by swal- lowing carbolic acid, in the rest room of the courthouse. Just before taking the poison he wrote a will disinheriting his wife, Anna Haar. Dr. A. Dutzi of 3325 Chippewa street told a Post-Dispatch reporter that Haar was injured six weeks ago in an acci- dent at the junction of the Jefferson and Seventh street lines, at Jefferson avenue and Chippewa street. He was in the city hospital two weeks, and on leaving the hospital he was visited oy en agent of the United Railways Co., who settled with him on a cash basis Dr. Dutzi did not know how much Haar obtained from the company, and he thought Haar’s family had not learned the amount, but he said that, since his release from the hospital, Haar had negiected his work as a ma- chinist, and had lavished his money on drink. His conduct toward his family, Dr. Dutzi said, had been such as to make their condition almost unbear- able. and the two older sons, when at home, had to protect their mother from him. There are also a younger son and a daughter. The man entered the German Savings Institution about 19:30 a. m., picked up > half dozen deposit slips and then walked to the courthouse and entered the rest room, where he wrote and signed his strange will. In rambling fashion he wrote that he had beef disregarded by his wife, anda said that she should not have a cent of his insurance. He willed 8609 to his four children, their shares to be paid to each on coming of age. He gaid a woman had told him that his wife said she would never live with him again. He referred to having been “chased out of a room,” and not having lived with his wife for a year. Qhieetees — ' Hetel Cashes Two Bad Checks.

The commander of the Dresden and 330 officers and sailors were unharmed and are now at Juan Fernan- dez. The British auxiliary cruiser Orama landed 15 wounded Germans, of whom 10 are wounded seriously. They were given over to the care of surgeons of the Chilean fleet. Among the wounded is the second commanding officer of the Dresden, whose leg was amputated. the care they had received from the British. The German officers of the Dresden declare that they were attacked while at anchor in Cumberland Bay, on the north side of the Island of Juan Fernande2. They assert that other ships lying in port were damaged by the fire from the British ships and that shells exploded on shore and killed a woman and a child. The Ministro Zenteno, a Chilean cruiser, has been sent to bring the crew of the Dresden from Juan Fernandez and also to inquire into the sinking of the warship. According to the account given here the Dresden was obliged to take refuge at Juan Fernandez Island because of damaged machinery and lack of coal. She was anchored about a quarter of a mile off shore on Sunday morning, when the British cruiser Kent entéred on one side and the Glasgow and Orama on the other side of Cumberland Bay. The British warships opened fire at a distance of a little more than 3000 yards. The Dresden was not prepared for a fight in neutral waters and did not re- ply immediately. She replied feebly within a few minutes. The Dresden hoisted a parliamentary flag; then lowered boats and sent a protest against being attacked in neu- tral waters, to which the British com- mander, according to the German state- ment, replied that he had orders to sink the vessel wherever she was found, and let the diplomats arrange the matter later, and that he would do so unless the Germans themséives sank her.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, March 17.—Rep- resentative Frank H. Farris told the House today that Dr. A. Ross Hill, president of the University of Missouri and a member of the board of curators, while in Jefferson City lobbying against a Senate bill, ordered Dr. Copeland, di- rector of the Rolla School of Mines, ;:o go to his room at the hotel and to take the first train back home. Copeland did as he was ordered, Farris said. “Dr. Copeland had come to Jefferson City,” Farris said, “at my request to give mé some valuable information con- cerning this very bill.’ The bill permits the School of Mines to confer degrées in mechanical, -elec- trical and chemical engineering and was opposed by Dr. Hill and the Board of Curators. It was passed almost unani- mously in the Senate, and passed the House today, by a vote of 106 to 28, after the entire morning session had been consumed in debate on the measure. Says Francis Ie in Pilot. Farris charged, on the floor, that Da- vid R. Francis, president of the Board of Curatora, and Dr. Hill, had formed a combination, the ultimate nurpose of which is to remove the School of Mines from Rolla to Columbia, and ascribed that as the cause of their opposition to the bill. Dr. Hill appeared before the Commit- tee on Education Monday night to op- pose the bill, and it was opposed in the Fiouse today by former students and alumnaé of the university. Representative Sapp, whose home is in Columbia, made the principal argument against the bill and finished by reading the names of the Board of Curators, who, hé déclaréd, should be permitted to fix the courses of study and the granting of degrées without interfer- ence. Farris began his argument with a discussion of David R. Francis, whos: name led thé list read by Sapp, and his attitude toward the bill. Had Iaterview Published. After declaring that Francis and Dr. Hill wanted to remove the School o07f Minés to Columbia, he said: “Why, the president of the board of curators, who was over in New Jersey, communicated by wireless, or in some other mysteri- ous Way, to the paper which he owns and operates an extended interview, ‘n which hée admittéd the real cause of opposition to this bill ts the proposed plan to take our school away from us and move it to Columbia.”’ Great Activity Begun All Along of Her Apartment. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., March 17.—The cross-examination of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, who is on trial for manslaughter, charged with responsibility for the death of Waldo R. Ballou, an aged ad- mirer, in Stamford, was continued when the trial was resumed today. State's at- terney Cummings pressed the defendant to tell how long she waited after hear- ing the noise (Ballou’s fall) in the hall before investigating the cause, but she could not tell. When she found Ballou on the landing of the stairs she said her first impulse was to get him into the fresh air. The State’s attorney sought to have the witness fix the time of Ballou’s fall downstairs,- but she could not do s0 definitely. She declared it was after 1¢:45, which Patrick Rabbitt said was about the time he heard a noise, but before 11 o’clock. When she placed Bal- lou outside the street entrance she did not think of looking to see if anyone was in sight. Declares She Fainted. Mrs. Angle did not recall fixing the door lock to enable her to return or whether she had switched on the hall light. She declared she was in a faint- iag condition ‘‘at the horror of having been down there alone with my friend who might have been dying.”’” No thought of calling for a doctor occurred to her. Later, when she saw blood on Ballou's hat, she fainted. When she came to her senses she went to the win- dow to get some air and saw an ambu- lance outside. “Then,” said the witness, ‘‘the thought of ‘Jimmy’ came to me, and I wondered ‘what will people think of me for doing that?’ ’’ By this she meant “putting him out on the street.”” Not that shé would be blamed for his injury, but she _ felt ushamed of her weakness, which had prevented her from helping her friend, she said. Replying to a question of the State Attorney, Mrs. Angle said she had never seen Ballou intoxicated. “Was he intoxicated that night?’’ was asked, .‘‘In my judgment, he was not,’’ she replied. The witness’ answer to many ques- tions was that she could not remem- ber. The State’s Attorney then asked if she could have mopped up the stairs or the halls during one of these lapses of memory. She replied that she did not remember, but did not think so. A short recess was ordered, and after leaving the courtroom Mrs. Angie faint- ed. She was revived, however, and soon returned to the witness chair. For nearly six hours yesterday Mrs. Angle told her story of the night of June 23 last, when the State charges she caused thé death of Ballou. She is 40 years old. Her voice at times was almost inaudi- ble or broken by sobs as she told of Ballou’s visit to her that night; of how she later found him unconscious at the foot of her stairs, of carrying him to the entrance door in an effort to revive him: of the visit of the police to her dpart- ments and of her arrest. She sketched into the picture her éarly acquaintance with Ballou, his affetcion for her and her friendly feeling for him, although she had declined to marry him. Under cross-examination by the State’s Attorney her voicé assumed a much firmer tone, and only once, at the men- tion of Ballou’s namé did she have to struggle to control her feélings. She was on the stand ‘vhen adjournmént was taken. Mrs. Angle told how Ballou had ~Phasa WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1915. a lat her apartment on the night of June 23 last, after she had called him on the telephone and had invited him there. She testified she called up ‘Jimmy” and, when asked to explain who “Jimmy” was, almost broken down before saying that she meant Ballou. After a short time, she said, he went away, but returned later with a bottle of wine, announcing: ‘Helen, I have been uptown and had something drink, and I have not forgotten you.” Kisseqd Her Goodnight, He proposed they drink the wine to- gether, said Mrs. Angle, but she replied she did not care for it and suggested he get something else from the medicine chest. He got a bottle of whisky and poured a small drink for her and a larger one for himeelf. After having the drink, the bottle re- mained on the table and the conversa- tion continued. Mr. Ballou, so Mrs. Angle said, departed when the ship clock had struck “four bells,’’ or about 10:30 o’clock. As he rose to go he re- marked there was not much in the bot- tle and suggested they empty it and he would get some wine. This was done. At the door, they had a pleasant con- versation and Ballou departed, after kissing her and saying ‘“‘good night.”’ The witness said she then locked the door and prepared to go to bed, first massaging her ankle. A little later, she heard a noise. “At first I thought it was Jimmy,” she said, but afterward she decided it could not be, as Ballou had had suffi- cient time to leave the building. Later, she said, she decided to investi- gate. “At the foot of the stairs, blocking my further progress, I came upon Mr. Ballou,” she sobbed. She told of calling to him and of trying to get him on his feet. “I did the first thing that occurred to me,” she said, in telling how she had taken him down stairs and out to the sidewalk. She then went upstairs, stumbling over Ballou’s hat on the way. She did not know at first that it was Ballou’s hat, but later she rec- ognized it as such, and saw it was stained with red. Something seemed to stop within her. She said. Smashed Wine Bottle. She threw the hat into the cedar chest and then, seeing the bottle of wine, seized it and smashed it on the floor, as far from her as possible. The witness then told of the visit of Chief of Police Brennan to her rooms soon afterward. He asked her what had happened between Ballou and herself. | “Nothing, Bill,’ the she replied: ‘nothing.’ Mrs. Angle told of asking Chief Bren- pan to call up the hospital to which Ballou had been taken. “He will tell you about it,””’ Mre. Angle said she told the Chief. She added, in a broken voice, that everything paled into insignifi- cance in the face of the fact that the man she loved was dead. Asked how Chief Brennan had acted that night to- ward her, she replied: ‘He acted as if he thought I had done some dread- ful thing to Mr. Ballou.’’ Her first meeting with Ballou, Mrs. Angle said, was in 1911, which was about a year and a half after his wife had died. She then told of various gifts made to her by Ballou, adding she had given a present to him at Christmas. “Did he appear to think very much of you?’ asked her counsel. “Very much,’ Mrs. Angle said in the lowest of tones. “‘He asked me several times to marry him. I told him I did not wish to, as hé was very old. I also reminded him he had grown children, and, because of that, I did not think it advisable.’’ Mrs. Angle said she had not wiped up or tried to wipe up. blood spots on the scairs or in the vestibule. She said Ballou complained of suf- fering from a ‘‘“weak spell’’ on the Sun- day before June 23. She said he had hed a ‘‘weak spell’’ in her rooms one night previously. Mrs. Angle dénied the had told Guernsey, a previous wit- ness, that she refused to marry Ballou because she ‘‘was getting all that’s com- ing as it is.’’ Mrs. Angle said she was not sure whether Ballou woré glasses on the night of June 23. Her testimony caused a marked sen- sation in the courtroom, women sobbing and men listening breathlessly. eee Have you infants and children in the family?

R. Coudert Says—Cites Supreme Court Decisions. ae NEW YORK, March 17. in 1904.) HE recent orders in the d Council have excited considerable controversy and have elicited some criticigm. The main criticism ap- pears to be that, while isolating Ger- many from commerce with the rest of the world, this result is not brought about by the usual method recognized by international law, to wit, a blockade, and that consequently the rights of neutrals are affected in an illegal and unprecedented fashion. It is quite true that the doctrines of contraband and blockade are the usual and normal methods employed by bel- ligerents for destroying their enemies’ commerce, and that neutrals may prop- erly insist upon both of these doctrines being applied, within certain limita- tions, and within the spirit, at least, of the precedents evolved by history anil usage, and acquiesced in by the nations. The question, therefore, arises, in dis- passionately considering the effect 9% the English orders in council, whether they have so far exceeded the princi- ples of international law and their le- gitimate consequences, as deducted from past practice, as to justify the Govern- ment of the United States in protesting against them as legal. Believes Action to Be Permissible. I believe that a tentative study of the orders in council will, indicate two things: First~—That their interference with neutral commerce is not an illegitimate extension of the necessary interferenc: with neutral commerce permissible un- der the rules of international law, 25 practiced by the United States itsel[; and, Second—That, in their effects, the have been made to bear as lightly as possible on neutrals, and the more on- erous consequences of blockade have been avoided. The prohibitions enumerated in British orders are of four kinds: 1. No merchant vessels from any port shall be allowed to proceed to any Ger- man port. 2, No merchant vessel sailing from any German port shall be allowed ‘o proceed on her voyage. 3. Any merchant vessel sailing from any port to any port, carrying goods with an enemy destination or enemy property, may be arrested. 4. Every merchant vessel sailing frorn a port other than a German port, I. é., & neutral port and having on board goods of enemy origin or enémy prop- erty, may likéwise be arrested. Theré is no virtue in mere words. The term ‘“‘blockade”’ is not used, but ob- ~“jously a blockadé might well be create? without using that peculiar term, and. as I shall explain, there may be a good reason for not using it. It is obvious, by glancing at No. 1 and No. 2 that they merely provide for the capture of goods going in or coming “ut. from German ports. This is nothing in the world but the simple, old-fash- ioned blockade, the object of which was io shut the ports of the énemy to all commerce of all kinds, going in or com- ing out. No. 8 and No. 4 involves a moré com- plex situation. No. 3 evidently deals with the situation where goods from a neutral port, going to a neutral port, have Germany as an ultimate destination. This, at first notice, would seem to be an interference with commerce between neutral ports, and therefore illegitimate. The answer to the suggestion is that our Government, during the Civil Wear, found it necessary, to accomplish the oh jects of its blockade of the South, to pursue this very course. Its action in so doing Was sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States, and its de- cision, sent to an arbitration commis. th? By FREDERIC R. COUDERT.

Where v. country has contiguous fron- tiers, it is impossible to blockade her as she may obtain supplies from and send goods out of a neutrat port, and this inconvenience to veutral commerce must be suffered by the neutrals, unless the doctrines of blockade are to be done away with. We, therefore, have no more reason for protesting against the English or- ders in council than had Great Britain reason for protesting against our gov- ernmental regulations as to blockade, when the goods in British ships to neu- tral ports were seized during our own Civil War. Conditions Have Changed. Again, it must be remembered that, since the time of the French revolution and Napoleon, the doctrines of ultimate destination and contiuous voyage had to be developed, by reason of changed means of transportation. One hundred years ago goods going to a neutral port might well be assumed to remain in the country to which they were shipped, but with improved trans- portation facilities, no such probability exists, and these doctrines have merely made effective the general principle of blockade, acquiesced in for the last 200 years. | As the United States Supreme Court said in another well-known cage (the Springbok, 5 Wall 1): “‘Upon the whole case, we cannot doubt that the cargo was originally shipped with intent to violate the blockade; that the owners of the cargo intended that it should be transshipped at Nassau into some ves- sel more likely to succeed in reaching safely a blockaded port than the Spring- bok; that the voyage from London to the blockaded port was, as to cargo, both in law and in the intent of the parties, one voyage; and that the liabil- ity to condemnation, if captured during any part of that voyage, attached to the carzo from the time of sailing (PP 27-28).’’ It would thus seem that the orders in council are fairly within the spirit of blockade as they existed both in our history and in that of foreign nations. The continental view as to blocxade is that it should ke maintained by a suc- cession of ships at the entrance of a port, and, as Russia and France have joined with Great Britain in this block- ade, they may wel] have considered that the orders in council did not, in this technical respect, constitute a blockade, and may, for that reason, have desired to avoid the term. However that may be as to continental views of international] law, no such lim- itation can be invoked by the United States for in the cases arising out of the recent Spanish war it has been held that a ship destined tor an enemy port under blockade may be seized anywhere upon the high seas, and that one vessel in these modern days of swift cruisers may be sufficient to blockade a port. Thinks Reproach Unvwarranted. Thus, the only question that could fairly be raised under recognized rules would be as to the effectiveness of a blockade, ineffective or paper blockades being prohibited by the Declaration of Paris. This question is one of fact, as our courts have held, and would have to be raised In each case. The British erders in council, it must be noted, dif- fer in their consequences from a strict blockade in the treatment dealt out to neutrals. Neutral vessels and cargoes ere not confiscated, as they would be were the strict doctrines of blockades applied. The British Government evi- dently has been intent upon inflicting as little injury as possible upon neutral commerce. I scarce think that we can reproach of well-established rules and precedents of international law; the other is a meas- ure of ineffective savagery for which we can find no since Grotius first wrote his great work on “‘the Law of Nations."’ W.

Swift, for many years a leading Democrat, and president of the Fruin-Bambrick Construction Co., died this morning at his home, 483 West Pine boulevard, after a week's iliness. He was almost 8 years old, The infirmities of age, rather than any specific malady, caused death. The funeral will be held Friday, at 8:20 a. m., from the New Cathedral. “Col” Swift, as he was called, was a native of New York State and had lived in St.- Louis since 185. He was rrinter, foreman, and finally owner of the State Journal, which was discon- tinued in 1861. Later he was connected with the St. Louls Dispatch and the Missourt Republican. He left news- paper work in 1871 and went into the contracting business. He was secretary of the Democratic State Committee from 1868 to 1876, and CirecujJt Clerk for two terms. He con- tinued his interest in politics until the last few years. He was a friend and adviser of the late Edward Butler. In March, 1913, Swift went into volun- tary bankruptcy, scheduling his assets as $80.950 and his Habilities as $98,560. The liabilities included a judgment for $64,265 obtained against Swift shortly before by Mrs. Rose A. Bambrick of 545 Von Ver- sen avenue, widow of his former partner, who held four of Swift's notes.

A transportation from one point to another remains continuous, so I.ng as intent remains unchanged, no matter what stoppages or transship ments intervene (P. 553).’’ The Supreme Court, by this reasoning, sustained the effectiveness of the blockade which would have been com- pletely futile had it been possidlt for the Confederates, using Bermuda or Matamoras as a base, by means of transshipment, to obtain supplies from the outside world. The fourth provision is the reserve of the third, and provides for the case of a merchant vessel sailing from a neutral port but having German goods on board. It would be easy for Germany to have an outlet for her commerce and to make the British blockade ineffective if she could use, say, Rotterdam for the pur- pose of sending out her goods and vend- ing them to the outside world by means of neutral vessels.

The second night of the Made-in-St. Louis Carnival and Fashion Show saw the Coliseum again crowded with inte: ested spectators. The Fashion Show was just as fasci- nating as it was the first night, with Herbert Cost for the shop keeper in- stead of William Crowell, and a new set of models whose clothes were as beautiful and the models themselves as graceful and charming. The 300 sgats facing the stage again were crowded with an audience that seemed loath to go when the “shop” was closed for the night by Miss Nellie Tracy, the smart attendant, and But- tons, who is Edward Tracy. The scene opened with the arrival of the proprietor. Then came the cus- tomers in their street clothes, before tiful gowns, frocks and negligees. Mrs. Dwight F. Davis, who was one of the most earnest workers for the show, appeared twice, first in a lovely negligee mdde by St. George’s Guild, and later in a garden frock of lavender chiffon, with one scalloped skirt over the other and a hat to match. Miss Overton in Striking Gown. Miss Elizabeth Overton, in a cos- tume of white and black = satin. which might well have been named “The Bat,” was one of the most striking figures at the show. The costume was a_ closefitting white satin empire slip cut low in the neck. The back of the dress was a long cape of whit@satin lined with black satin that hung at the sides. Miss Maude Cupples Scudder was beautiful in an afternoon gown of pale green taffeta silk, with a short skirt made of one scant ruffle set on an- other untii it was quite full at the bot- tom. ‘The bodice was tight fitlinz, high- waisted and very becoming. She wore a green hat tilted over her nose and the raiher wide brim turned straight in the back with a bow. Miss Josephine Ball was a dainty French model in a snuff-colored silk, with ever so many scalloped flounces for a skirt that reached up under her arms. It was wonderfully becoming to her, and one of the most effective gowns shown. Mra. Priest in Black Costume. Mrs. Blodgett Priést wore the black creation of the evening and was luvely rwith her blond hair topped with a transparent hat of black tulle. Miss Theodosia Barnett with her pan- talettes, full skirts and large hat with its black velvet streamers, was delight ful. Mrs. Henry S. Priest showed a gown of bright cherry colored chiffon or net over white. The skirt was made of spiral ruffles one on the other. One of the handsomest gowns of the whole show was worn by. Mrs. Claude Matthews. It was of black tulle ‘worked with jet, over white and silver so put together that one could hardly tell whether the gown was of silver and lace with trimming of jetted net or of etted net with the foundation of the ther. Mrs, Clay Arthur Pierce, Miss Cather- ine McCreery, Mrs. Edward K. Love, Miss Arline Clark, all were stunning. Miss Elizabeth Edgar was noticeable for the-simplicity of her frock, which was of white face and net with a short flou skirt. Mrs. Colin Selph displayed two gowns, one an afternoon costume with a be- witching hat; the other a black even- ing gown with heavy bands of jet hold- ing it to her figure at the hips. Shopper Is at Home. Mrs. William D. Becker, Mrs. J. J. Boland Jr., Mrs.-Oliver Langan, Mrs. Julius Reinboldt, Misses Helen Boland, Winifred Scharff and Alice Maloy showed fessional manner. Miss Martha Pittman, as a shopper, | ane bee scene, caning tho eunige- | whom the models paraded in their beau- | 4 lacey batameead in the most pro- | ity which a girl would naturally show in a fashion studio. She was quite charming. Misses Emilie Cabanne, Margaret »}Gale, Katherine Peddle, Marie Louise Benoist and Adaline Capen were rivals im charm and wore their clothes with the finish of professional models. Mrs. Auguste Chouteau showed first a pink frock and later a bridal cos- tume complete even to a bouquet. Mrs. Lewis M. Rumsey wore a white tailored suit with a belt of red leather and alittle walstcoat of red that showed when the coat was opened. With it she carried a red parasol. Her hat was black and her shoes were black with red heels. Mrs. Herbert Cost, Mrs. Tarleton Brown, and Mrs. Albert Bond Lambert were admired in their perfectly appoint- ed costumes and Mrs. Dwight Dana in a Battleship Gray afternoon gown, Mrs. Don’t Be Fussy About Eating Your Stomach ‘Will Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the Proper Assistance. We are prone to fall into the error of singling out,some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first invented the dish. The habit grows with some people till almost all food is put on the blacklist. This is all wrong. What is required is a little assistance with those agencies upon which scientific stucgents for Many years have set their seal of ap- proval because they have become ab- solute facts. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets for all stomach disorders are recognized; they have a fine record; they are rated reliable, dependable atid worthy of confidence just as the president of a big bank puts his O.K on a depositor’s check. And so you can eat what you want, whatever you like, knowing well that should indigestion, sour risings, gas forma- tions, fermentations or any other stomach distress arise, Stuart’s. Dys- pepsia Tablets in a few moments will put you right. Coated tongue, bad breath, heart- burn, belching, flatulency, bloat—all the symptoms of digestive troubles disappear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not a cure for anything but dyspepsia and kindred complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers frem diges- tive diseases than all the patent medicines and doctor’s prescriptions put together. The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs, yet it’s. the one we treat with the least regard. We eat too much of the wrong kind of food at any time. The patient stomach stands such treatment as long as it can and then it rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by undigested, fermenting food. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold and recommended by all drug- gists at 50c a box. aoetend Edward Goltra, Misses Lucy Norvell and Mrs. Robert Orr helped to make the show as pretty and interesting as on the opening night. One of the big hits of the Made-in- St.-Louis Carnival is the posing of art students, under the direction of Dawson Watson. This free entertainment is provided by the St. Louis Art League. On a platform erected for the purpose the young art students appear in group- ings after the poster style, and wearing gowns which show the extremes of the prevailing fashions. —— DINKS PARRISH Has the Last Word In flat work ironers.

In part he says} “Tt is a very wholesome and, regener- ating change which a -nan undergoes when he ‘‘comes to himself.”” It is not only after periods of recklessness or in- fatuation, when he has played . the spendthrift or the fool, that a man comes to himself. He comes to himself after experiences of which he alone may be aware: when he has left off being wholly preoccupied with his own pow- ers and interests and with every petty plan that centers in himself; when hé has cleared his eyes to see the world as it is, and his own true place and func- tion in 1t. “Tt is’ a process of disillusionment. The scales have fallen away. He sees himself soberly, and knows under what as what his powers are. He has got rid of earlicr prepossessions about the world of men and affairs, both those which were too favorable and those which Were too unfavorable—both those rof the nursery and those of a young man’s reading. He has learned his own paces, or at any rate, is in a fair way to learn them; he has found his footing and the true nature of the ‘going’ he must look for in the world; over what sorts of roads he must expect to make his running, and at what expenditure of effort; whither his goal lies, and what cheer he may expect by the way. It is a process of disillusionment, but it dis- heartens no soundly made man. It brings him into a light which guides in- stead of deceiving him; a light which aces not make the way look cold to any man whose eyes are fit for use in the fopen, but which shines wholesomely rather upon the obvious path, like the honest rays of the frank sun, and makes traveling both safe and cheerful. “A Man IS the Part He , Plays Among His Fellows.”’ a er is no fixed.time in a , man’s life at which he comes to himself, and some men never come to themselves at all. It 1s a change reserved for the thoroughly sane and healthy, and for those who can detach themselves from tasks and drudgery long and often enough to get, at any rate once and again, a view of the proportions of life and of the stage and plot of its action. We speak often with amusement, sometimes with dis- taste uneasiness, of men who ‘have no sense of humor,’ who take themselves too seriously, who are intense, self-ab- sorbed, overconfident in matters of opin- ion, or else go plumed with conceit, proud of we cannot tell what, enjoying, thinking of nothing 30 much as of themselves. “These are men who have not suf- They have not come to. themselves. If they be serious men, and real forces in tho world, we may conclude that they have been too much and too long absorbed; that their tasks and _ responsibilities long ago. rose about them like a flood, and have kept them swimming with sturdy stroke the years through, their jeyes level with the troubled surface — no horizon in sight, no passing fleets no comrades but those who struggled in the flood like themselves. If they be frivolous, light-headed, men without jecture, if we do not know, that they were born 80, or spoiled by fortune, or befuddled by self-indulgence. It is no great matter what we think of them. Adjustment Gained by Some Early, by Some Late. é¢ DJUSTMENT is what a A man gains when he comes to himself. Some men gain it late, . some early; some get it all at once, as if by one distinct act of delib- erate accommodation; others get it vy degrees and quite imperceptibly. No doubt to most men it comes by the slow processes. of experience—at each stage of life a little. “Surely a man has come’to himself only when he has found the best that is in him, and has satisfied his heart with the highest achievement he is fit for. It is only then that he knows of what he is capable and what his heart demands. And. assuredly, no -thought- ful man ever came to the end of his life, and had time and a little space of calm from which to look back upon it, who did not know and acknowledge that it was what he had done unselfishly and for others, and nothing else, that satisfied him in the retrospect, and made him feel that he had played the man. That alone*seems to him the real meas- ure of himself, the real standard of his manhood. And 80 men grow by having responsibility laid upon them, the bur- den of other people’s business. “Tt is a great mistake to suppose that the great captains .of industry, the great organizers and directors of manu- facture and commerce and monetary ex- change, are engrossed in a vulgar pur- suit of wealth. Too often they suffer the vulgarity of wealth to display itself in the idleness and ostentation of their wives and children, who devote them- selves,’ it may be, ‘to expense regard- less of pleasure;’ but we ought not to misunderstand even that, or condemn it unjustly. The masters of industry are often too busy with their own sober and momentous calling to have time or sparé thought enough to govern their own households. A king may be too faithful a statesman to be a watchful father. These men are not fascinated by the glitter of gold; the appetite for power has got hold upon them. They jare in love with the exercise of their faculties upon a great scale; they are organizing and overseeing a great part of the life of the world.

Business, and business alone, interested him, or seemed to him worth while. The first time he was asked to subscribe money for a benevolent object he declined. Why should he subscribe? What affair would be set forward, what increase of efficiency would the money buy, what return would it bring in? Was good money to be simply given away, like water poured on a barren soil, to be sucked i.» and yield nothing? It was not until men who understood benevo- lence on its sensible, systematic, prac- tical and really helpful side explained it to hun as an investment that his mind took hold of it and turned to it for satisfaction.

At San Antonio—San Antonio 6, Cleveland 3. — Branch Rickey's ball club, proud pos- sessors of the empty title.of city cham- pions, will go into the spring series with the Cardinals next week a pro- nounced favorite. The reason is because Hug's team is not yet intact, some of its component tarts being now in the possession of McGraw and Herzog, Present prospects aiso are that the deals for Perritt and Wingo will not be consummated until Judge Landis toes the scratch, and the esteemed Judge hasn't uttered a whis- per. The Cardinals lost four games out of five to the Browns last fail, when Ma- gee, Perritt and Wingo were on the job. The loss of these men and -the threatened retirement of Manager Hug- gins just about deprives the Cardinal club of everythigg that resembled a championship outfit. Bescher Is Needed. Of course, if Bescher or Snodgrass should come this way from New York and Benton should be snared from the Reds, the Cardinals would have a pre- sentable front, but without these men the club hardly will be able to make its presence felt. President Britton of the Cardinals has urgently advised Manager Huggins tu force the trades with the Giants and Reds. Treasurer woreene left yester- day for San Antonio to help Hug out with the business details, but word comes from the New York camp that McGraw has found it impossible to close the transaction with his own ball players. “McGraw called for volunteers to g0 to St. Louis,” writes Sid Mercer, ‘‘and there was a mass meeting of ball play- ers held. After long deliberation the players framed their answer, as fol- lows: ‘We won't go.’”’ This shows the sad plight of the National game. The players are sewed up to iron-clad contracts and have become very dictatorial since the advent of the Federal League. McGraw Opposed to Bescher. In Bescher's case it is noteworthy that McGraw is eager to get rid of the speeder. Bescher didn’t join the New York club at McGraw’'s request. -ie wae secured in a trade with Cin- ‘the Cards. ~ “it vy ‘ a einnati for Charley Herzog while Mc- Graw was abroad on the world’s tour. McGraw hase never fancied the deal and twice during last season he clashed with the big outflelder, benching him in the heat of the pen- nant race. But Bescher has a cinch eontract and although he knows Mc- Graw is “agin” him, he refuses to sanction the transfer to St. Louis. That's a fine howdy do, eh? The Browns, so far, have had a slight edge in the training camp.

C. —Both Men Have Narrow Escapes From ‘‘Kayos.” By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee for the Future City Athletic Club and the, Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. . St. Louis and Clarence (‘‘ Wildcat’’) Ferns of Perry, Ok., at the Ku- A [ the end of the sixth round of a slugging matcn between Leo Kelly of ture City Athletic Club last night, stepped to the ringside and said: Night Chief of Police Gillaspy “Sharpe, I think it best to stop it.’’ The Chief’s suggestion was immediately complied with. Toward the close of the fourth round a deep gash had been cut in Ferns’ lower lip and this bled freely. The flow of blood could not be checked, and this gave Ferns a bad appearance. He was stronger, though, when the bout was stopped, than he had been for two rounds previous, and was rapidly recu-| perating, while Kelly’s strength appeared to be waning. In the third round Ferns had been sent to the mat by some heavy swings and uppercuts, ending with a hard left hodk to the jaw. Ferns took the count of nine and was groggy when he arose to his feet. Kelly rushed at him and Ferns clinched. He was wrestled out of this by Kelly and thrown to the fiooring of the ring. I pushed Kelly back and warned him against such tactics. Very soon after this the bell ended the round and Ferns was very unsteady as he went to his corner. Kelly Has Ferns on Ropes. At the beginning of the fourth round Kelly flew at Ferns and backed the Oklahoma boxer into the northeast cor- ner of the ring. In an exchange of blows that took place here Ferns got much the worst of it and soon wags hanging helpless with both arms stretched across the ropes in such a manner as to prevent his falling to the mat. Pushing Kelly away, I proceeded Harry Sharpe’s Decisions Fe KELLY of St. Louis vs. Clarence (‘‘Wildcat’) Ferns of Perry, Ok.; catchweights (Ferns about 14 and Kelly about 148 pounds); eight rounds.

To have done otherwise and Per- mitted Kelly to slug the boxer, who was oblivious to everything about him, would have been to invite a seri- ous accident and would certainly have constituted a clear violation of the spirit of the rules governing slove contests, Clang of the Gong Was a Welcome One to the Wildcat, in the Fourth Ferng responded at the count of, nine, but had a hard time sticking through the remainder of the round. The minute’s rest did Ferns some good and he began egthering his strength, though he was now bleed- ing freely from the cut in his lip. Kelly, who did not appear to be in best condition, began to tire and for the early part of this round did not exert himself to any great extent, while Ferns was running up points with light lefts to the face. Toward the close Kelly cut loose again and did some heavy slugging, driving Kerns before him and was delivering same heavy smashes when the bell rang. : In the sixth round Kelly was wind- ed and tiring, while Ferns, gradually recuperating his strength, was out- pointing Kelly, while the latter was slower and more deliberate, putting every ounce of strength he possessed in heavy swings, uppercuts and right crosses to the face and head. e missed many of these, but when he landed his blows were much more effective. Both Battlers Tired. Both men were unmistakably weak, Kelly from exhaustion and Ferns from punishment, but it is probable rerns would have recuperated better for the next two rounds than Kelly. However, Ferns’ bleeding lip gave him a bad appearance, and this is robably what actuated Chief Gil- aspy in asking that the bout be stopped. For the first two rounds the mar- gin on points was slightly in favor of Ferns, but after that Kelly's heavy bombardment all but resulted in Ferns being knocked out. Kelly ap- peared to be wonderfully strong and apparently paid but little attention to Ferns’ punches, forcing the fight- ing nearly all of the time. And Kelly has learned to fight. Both boxers did some holding, and hitting while holding, but experi- enced more trouble in ge | to pre- vent Ferns from violating the rules in this manner than [ had with Kelly. Ferns has a trick of hooking his left arm through or over his oppo- nent’s right arm and then employ- ing his right for short jolts to the face ande head. Kelly's principal of- fense consisted in pulling his oppo- nent’s head toward him by placing his left hand behind, then letting go and at the same time hitting with his right, It was more often neces- sary to pull Ferns’ glovesaway when he was holding than it was Kelly's. It Was a wildly exciting bout and it is @ matter of conjecture what might have happened had it not been stopped. Ferns was recuperating and Kelly was tiring.

In an effort to keep all ‘ringers’ from playing with the clubs that have a chance for the pennant in the Mer- cantile League, this season, President Harry Davis intends to have photo- graphs made of all the teams that have a chance for the flag. This is the frst time anything of this kind has been done in St. Louis. The Mercantile League is the strone- est connected with the Municipal As- sociation having owned the city chame pion for the past two seasons, the Grimm & Gorleys and [Ilelirung-Grimms capturing it. At the last meeting of the league, it was decided to use the double umpire system this season. Woods, Power, liart, Hawthorne and Wehmeyer are some of the arbiters who have made ap- plication for places. Wolffs, St. The Hellrung-Grimms, Louis Federals, Arcades, Grand-Leaders, Scruggs-Vandervoort & Barneys, a club under the management of F. Fisher, that has not yet been named and either the Old Lynch Ryes and Banner Bug- gies will make up the circuit this sea- son. There will be seven new man- agers in the league this season, while the only old one remaining will be at the head of a new team. Aronson With Champions. Harry Uhlemeyer, who has a habit of winning pennants, will this season be in charge of the Hellrung-Grimms, last year’s city champions. In 1913 Uh- lemeyer led the Home Mutual Aids to the pennant in the Independent League, while last. vear he managed the Shea- hans in the Kulage’s Park or ganization. Last fall, with the Sheahan, he fin- ished on top in the South Side Soc- cer League. Uhlemeyer at present is busy signing layers for the coming cainpaign. He as signed Bill Trautner and Walter Pierce, the famous Yeatman High School battery of 1912. That season Trautner won 17 games and lost none. Pierce last season played in the Interstate League. Gus Aronson and Irwin Mahl, the two star sprinters of the Columbian A. C.. have been signed to play the outfield with “Sailor’’ Jarabeck, the local pu- ilist. e The Wolffs, last season’s third placers, will be managed by Ray Kempa. Bishop, Lieberman, Mercurio and Fritzmeyer have been signed to do the twirling. Fritzmeyer last season made a great record in the Mercantile League, setting the record for strikeouts, with 21 in nine innings. Grenzer Hops to Feds. F. S. Grenzer, the only old leader re- maining, in 1914 had charge of the Brit- tons, but this year he will be in charge of the St. Louis Federals. With Gren- zer hopping to the Feds, the Brittons and Brown Juniors withdrew from the league. A new team—the Grand-Leaders, pennant winners in the Dry Goods League last year—will be managed by Jimmy Elders. Ray Baynard will lead the Arcades, who last season lost the City League pennant by half a game. n Kraule will be manager o Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barneys. President Harry Pavis is confident that the Mercantile League this season will be stronger than ever before and capture the city championship for the third straight time. | TO BAR "RINGERS" | Kilbane-Williams Bout Is Feature of Big Fistic PHILADELPHIA, March 17.—Johnny Kil. bane, the world’s featherweight champion, and Kid Williams, the bantamweight title- holder, are fit and ready for their six-round bout here tonight.

He said several schedules had been prepared to fit the various possibilities which might fol- low the decision and that it would be a short matter to select the preper one. He reiterated that the Newark club was a fixture in the league regardless of the eutcome of the Kansas City suit. A suggestion that a 10-club league, re- taining Kansas City and Newark, and adding another city to the Federal cir- cuit, mret little encouragement from the league officials whdé were inclined to consider it seriously. They pointed out that increasing the membership from the customary eight clubs would tend to make it unwieldy and increase transportation difficulties. The Kansas City officials continued to refuse to consider any solution which included the elimination of baseball from their city.

WON $10,000 FILM PRIZE, LOSES J0B AS STENOGRAPHER Miss Ida Damon’s Employers Dismissed Her When She Took Layoff for Week. Miss Ida Damon of 3731 Minnesota ave- nue has lost her job as stenographer for the General Roofing Co., after winning the $10,000 prize for a solution of the Mil- lion Dollar Mystery, a moving picture drama. The loss is not causing Miss Damon to worry, as she is planning a barnstorm- ing tour on the picture theater circuit and has other plans to keep her purse filled without touching the prize money. At her home today Miss Damon said: ‘“‘When I learned that I had been se- lected as the winner I planned to lay off for a week,’’ said Miss Damon. “I notified the office of my intention. and understood that I had permission to re- main away. A few days later the man- ager of the office called me on the telephone and told me he had decided io hire another stenographer.”’ She Goes Into Movies. But Miss Damon says she is not wor- rying over the loss of her job. She says she is laying plans for other ac- tivities which will be more pleasant and profitable than those of a stenographer. At present she is booking herself to appear in Missouri and Illinois towns at one-night stands and tell moving pic- ture show audiences how she won the $10,000 prize and all about how tc»write scenarios. She already has appeared in two St. Louis theaters. *T can make from $5 to $40 a night for appearing on the stage and making a 15-minute talk,’’ said Miss Damon, and that its a lot better than being a stenographer.” Thus far Miss Damon has not found it necessary to use any portion of the $10,000 prize. On receiving the check she deposited ft in the Central National Bank. She will use most of it to pur- chase a home for her parents, she says, property that suits her. Will Teach Scenario Writing. After completing her barnstorming tour of Missouri and Illinois, Miss Da- mon says, she plans to open a school in St. Louis, where she will give in- structions in scenario writing. No scenario written by Miss Damon has ever been produced, except the clos- ing episode of the “Million Dollar Mys- tery,’’ but she is now putting the finish- ing touches on a screen play which she feele sure will be accepted. Its title :s “Love’s Stratagem.’* A synopsis of it was published recently in the Post-Dis.- patch Sunday Magazine. Since she won the prize Miss Damon has received about 1000 letters she says. Even now, after the lapse of nearly a month, she says letters come to her at the rate of five to 15 a day. In the mails she has received 100 proposals of mar- riage and two suitors have made per- sonal calls on her. One of these, she said, talked about astronomy and the war for two hours before she dismissed him. The other frankly told her that he came to sell her a house or marry her, he didn’t care which.

Samaroff in pri- vate life is Mrs. Leopold Stokowski, wife of the conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. One of the interesting affairs of the week will be the picture lecture this evening at the Liederkranz Club by James I. J. Archibald, noted war cor- respondent, who has the distinction of having been the first man wounded in Spanish-American War, when he and the late Sylvester Scovel were with the “Gassie expedition’ off the coast of Cuba, when the old sidewheeler Gus- sie was landing arms and ammunition for the Cuban insurgents at the be- ginning of the blockade. Since then Mr. Archibald has wit- ressed almost every military campaign of importance in Europe, Asia and Af- rica. Mrs. Lon O. Hocker of 19 Von Ver- sen avenue entertained at luncheon in ronor of Mrs. William Goldstein. Her guests were a small group of dow- agers, among whom were Mmes. Joseph Weiner, Charles Dormitzer, George Riddle, Robert Railey, Frank Wiate and Ben Schurmacher. . Mary Antin, noted Jewish author and social worker, will speak at the Victoria Theater tornorrow night for the benefit of Neighborhood Associ- ation. She will have as her subject the immigration problems of today, which she presents in an interesting and vivid way and from the stand- point of one who knows, as she and all the members of her family immi- grated from Russia. Neighborhood Association is one of the oldest social settlements in St. Louls, and does much the betterment of living and working conditions among the isn. people in its vicinity. Mrs. ohn .

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The other day, when speaking: along this line, the President mentioned the difficulty of getting young men to accept instruction and said that he ...khad found out that teachers in other schools had had a lttke experience. What a>confession for a leading educator to make! All of that class have been sounding the praise of their institutions from the. housetops. With one voice a)l have shouted to the young, “Come hither and we will show you the royal road to wisdom and distinction.”” Much of the failure, perhaps most of it, is located just here. The teach- er regards himself as an instructor of the uni- verse, whereas he is at bést but a mentor. The thread that runs through all schools is: Do not think ofr exercise your minds according to their inclination, but follow the lead that we give you. Do not lead your own life but try to follow the life of another. Just as our generous Government is trying to make a white man of the Indian and we know ‘with how pronounced a, failure. Any teacher who cannot get in close touch with his pupils is so far a failure. That takes in about nine of every ten, probably. Most of them stand in relation of master and servant, of boss and un- derling. A school is set up apparently for the ben- efit of the teacher, with the pupils as a sort of ad- juncts or accessories like the furniture and other apparatus. The child is given to understand this and his best plan is to be good and keep on terms with the teacher; this done, the teacher gives ap- proval whether anything is learned or noi. G. H. WILLIAMS. Hard to Change One’s Trade. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read in a morning paper about a steamfitter, who was physically strong and would be able to making a living at any other occupation, should he not be able to do steam fitting. I wish to say that “@ steamfitter once a steamfitter is nothing but a steamfitter and that, comparatively, is all they know.

Editorials Appreciated. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘I desire to shake hands metaphorically, hypo- thetically, in contemplation of mind, so to speak, with the gentleman who writes the editorials, and who probably has adopted for his “mentor” the old saying taught me by my dear mother, “There's reason in all things.” The editorial to- day, “Prof Usher’s Pan-Americanism,” is excellent and strikes the keynote to all the Professor's ‘writings; fine in verbiage, beautiful in theory, but not convincing when illuminated by the light of reason. The gentleman's stand on the neutrality ques- tion—the editor's stand, I mean-—his fearlessness in fighting error and folly, have led me to ex- press the gratification of one of your humble readers that such a man handles the pen for your great paper. May his shadow never grow less. W. R. HINKLEY. National Stockyards, Il. Get the Book. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

Tf the Post-Dispatch is sincerely desirous of helping the’ unemployed I suggest that ycu pub- lish Chapter I, Book V of “Progress and Poverty,” by Henry George. If that is asking too much, would suggest that you publish part of the chap- ter beginning on page 268 (“This strange and un- natural,”) and ending on page 270 (“labor is de- nied gecess to land?’) That will just about fil) one column and if you will give it the prominence you @id the Rabbi's article you will atone for his telling them the reason men are unemployed is bec@eee there are no jobs and that we ought te mwave a bureau to handle the jobs.

LLL ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1915. COMMON HONESTY IN TAXATION. — A voice should be heard oftener at Jefferson City on the subject which Senator Wallace Greene of Kansas City discussed with profit to all Mis- souri. This is the subject of the discriminatory, wrongful system of State taxation, to which the Post-Dispatch has so many times directed the at- tention of the thoughtful. The centralized fact in Mr. Greene’s address was that St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph assessments constitute 40 per cent of the total assessment in this State of rich agricultural, mining and manufacturing territory. Including direct and indirect taxes the three cities contrib- ute 60 per cent of all State revenues. ~ But there-were other centralized facts. One of them is that a large part of the revenue to which the three cities contribute 60 per cent goes to the maintenance of State institutions from which, for various reasons, the cities derive small use. The cities pay all the expense of caring for their insane and their delinquents of various sorts in institutions of their own and in addi- tion pay 60 per cent of the cost of institutions for the benefit of the rest of the State. Even the State Normal schools, for whose support the cities supply 60 per cent of the revenue, do not, Mr. Greene declared, turn out graduates with the right equipment for service in city schools. The cities have to maintain their own normal schools. Senator Yancey’s admission as to Cooper County, that farm land worth from $50 to $200 an acre, is assessed only at from $15 to $20 an acre, is typical of taxation methods in, practically all other interior counties. Taxing officers are elected on a pledge, specified or implied, to keep taxes in their jurisdiction lower than in other jurisdictions. Political units through officials sworn to uphold the law engage in dodging taxes on a wholesale scale by shifting them to other units. Is it any wonder that individual citizens, under the authority of official example, practice \jsimilar tax-dodging fraud? Less outrageous tax injustice has given rise We need not be surprised if it leads, some day, to political revolution in Missouri. When the rest of the | State, in addition to forcing the cities to pay its bills for it, is all the time plaguing these cities, ‘|through the sins of commission and omission of its lawmakers, who interfere with city affairs about which they know nothing, and outrage metropolitan public opinion, a condition results that sorely tries city patience and gives rise to a sense of grievance based on intolerable injustice. Some day some courageous candidate is going to have an amazing run for Governor on a plat- form pledging him, not to tariff or currency is- sues, but to the great appealing issue of equality and common honesty in State taxation. In the meantime the three cities, instead of sending to the Legislature lightweight politicians who fool away their time on log-rolling and general trick- iness and pettiness, should send men with the knowledge of scientific taxation enabling them to present the issue adequately. (= = * ~~~ THE HOUR OF DANGER. Legislative sessions are drawing to a close in several Western and Southwestern states. In each a few measures have become law, and many, good or bad, are being placed in position to be driven through under whip and spur in the fren- zied final hour before adjournment. It is in that final hour that most of the bad laws are placed on American statute books. Foes of spe- cial privilege should sharpen their axes against the needs of that hour of public danger. = = * — CHEAP MONEY ON CITY OREDIT. St. Louis city bonds to the amount of $2,750,000 for bridge completion were awarded in unequal al- lotments to four different bidders, all St. Louis- ans, at premiums ranging from $41.83 to $47.90 per thousand. On the entire issue of 414 per cent bonds, the premiums will aggregate $115,575, a trifle more than 4.2 per cent on the total. Naturally this impressive showing on the ex- cellence and stability of St. Louis credit is deeply gratifying at a time when the war has brought turmoil into finance and business and foreign na- tions are straining their borrowing power with re- sults perceptible all around the world. As is sug- gested with pertinence, the premium on an issue of New York City bonds bearing the same rate of interest was but half as much. In this instance, the faith and credit of the entire city are drawn on for the establishment of a great public utility—a_ bridge across the Mis- sissippi to the Illinois shore—that will supply an indispensable service to the whole people at a much less cost than the sefvice rendered by pri- vate corporations availing themselves to the full- est of monopolistic privileges. The new charter wisely authorizes many other varieties of serv- ice to be established by the people with bonds se- cured wholly or in part on the property through which the service is rendered. It may be that the construction of the bridge is only the beginning of a new phase of municipal history in which different forms of service essen- tial to the welfare of all the people ‘will not be permitted to remain a source of private profit. The city’s credit will be a splendid asset in such an expansion of municipal activities. It can sup- ply the cheap money that is essential to the higher success of these helpful undertakings. = = —— oe 1915 BRAND OF HERETIC. The discovery of a heretic in a St. Louis evan- gelical pulpit was not followed by any particularly vociferous expressions of horror. Heretics, of course, are interesting things. Probably they always will be interesting, even though Mr. Chesterton does rather disparage them. That the general attitude of agonized so- 'Mettede toward them has changed, and changed, too, in our generation, was years ago recognized. But the attitude of the heretics themselves has also changed. There is a new etiquette of heresy. The Rev. Dr. Birkhead of the M. E. Church dis- covered his own heresy and conducted himself such ecclesiastical adjudication as was made of his shocking case. Finding himself out of sym- pathy with the communion with which he was identified, he announced his retirement, with a frank statement of the reasons. | The older heresy had a different code of ethics. It often sought to exploit itself through the re- sources and privileges and even the name of orthodoxy. It invited sympathy as the due of eel independent minds, when it was-compelled to cease representing a system of which it was no longer representative. Instead of getting out, it waited to be kicked out. Dr. Birkhead’s religious views are at wide vari- ance from M. E. Church doctrine. But it is not without significance that he seemed more heter- odox in respect to the church’s standards of practical social welfare work than in respect to its standards of theology. The heretic who con- tends that the church should be known by broad- ened works may be even more hopeful than one who contends for broadened faith. >» vw a 7 — a _ WHY, MR. GORDON? . State Auditor Gordon has persistently evaded | the efforts of the Post-Dispatch’s Jefferson City correspondent to obtain a detailed statement of Gov. Major’s expense account. He Says that no one but a clerk in his office can get the statement and for six weeks his clerks have been “too busy” to supply the statement. Why does Auditor Gordon in effect deny so ciear a right as that of access to the public records of a public office? Is there any reason for con- cealment of the details? Is there anything in the record discreditable to Gov. Major? Mr. Gordon’s failure to permit prompt publicity to the mere details of the Governor’s expense ac- count creates a bad impression, regardless of the facts. Is it possible that Mr. Gordon is willing that an impression that there is reason for concealment of the Governor’s expense account should be fixed in the public mind? Does he really want-the public to believe that there is a reason? The State Auditor’s own conduct has raised the issue of the publicity of public records and the question of the propriety of the Governor’s expense account. RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. Thinking of Ripley D. Saunders, who passed away yesterday, one puts first the man—honest, true, gentle, refined, sympathetic, a model.of the gentleman. His rich gifts were the adornments of the man. His work was the expression of his qualities. An excellent journalist, Mr. Saunders was more—he was a poet. He had creative power which would have carried him far in the field of song and fiction if he had not been restrained by the pressure of daily newspaper work. His facile and skillful pen, backed by a fine imag- ination, a rare sense of humor and keen intelli- gence, made his writing delightful. Readers of the Post-Dispatch who have enjoyed his work as dramatic critic know what high ideals he cher- ished and how conscientiously he applied them to his judgments and his own work; yet how tenderly he treated those he chastened. Acutely responsive to the appeal of the good, the true and the beautiful, he was not less sensitive to the touch of the vulgar and false; but he tempered justice with kindness. The spirit of good will and human fellowship softened the blows of the critic. For several years before his death Mr. Saun- ders had charge of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund for the benefit of the babies of the poor, which, from ‘its inception, was largely supported by the contributions and labor of more fortunate children. Devoting himself whole heart- edly to the task, he organized the Children’s Pure Milk League. Through his efforts hun- dreds of children were enlisted in the cause. During the summer months his desk was sur- rounded by enthusiastic little fellow workers. Two novels of excellent quality—‘‘John Ken- adie’”’ and “Col. Todhunter of Missouri,” the lat- ter embodying humorous character sketches pub- lished in the Post-Dispatch, with a few poems, make up his brief literary record outside of his brilliant, though ephemeral, newspaper work. But he wrought well in faithful service and po- tent influence. _——_—__——_-- © @o ——_—-—— FARMERS WAIT ON THE SENATE.

A news quester with an inspired passion for momentous minutiae has discovered that dear old Uncle John D. Rockefeller takes a teaspoonful of olive oil before each meal. As Virgil so neatly put it, Trahit sua quemque voluptas—his own especial pleasure attracts each one. Some prefer only the suggestion in their cocktails imparted by an old Raines law stage prop olive submerged in gin. But no mere re- deeming virtue drowned in sin for your Uncle John—naught but the unpolluted purity of the hallowed fruit, the essence, and we are tempted to add soul, by an irrelevant thought on his habit of extracting the soul from things, and his ultra- refined taste in oils. For you may be sure it is none of your cheap variety known to the trade as bottle-nose, no cot- ton-seed imitation, with which your Uncle John, with his exceptional facilities for obtaining all that is worth while in oils, titillates the fastidi- ous palate of his perfect connoisseurship and whets an appetite for—for what? More oil? More golf? More philanthropy? More immortality? And still more oil? In the simple extract of the fruit of Palestine bas Uncle John found the secret of eternal youth for which Ponce de Leon sought Florida in vain? Will the real estate reporter of our esteemed Jer- usalem contemporary startle mankind some morn- ing with the discovery of Mr. Rockefeller’s secret option on the Mount of Olives? _ To find a tome of meaning in every trifle as- sociated with him is perfectly natural to a little world which bas always regarded Croesus through a magnifying glass or a haze of romance. But on sober reflection his swallowing of three spoon- fuls of olive oil doesn't seem so sensational as his swallowing three or four petroleum concerns every morning before breakfast for a quarter of a century.

It looks as if it had become our Christian duty to intervene, so all the dif- ferent factions can get together in a war against us. It is not pleasant to think of bringing about peace in that way; but if it has to be done, I suppose we are equal to the emergency. If the several war lords of Mexico have nothing else in common, it looks as if we would have to be the goat. ‘‘The only trouble about that sort of thing is go- ing to be to stop Us once we get started. Gunpowder is drier rght now than it has been in a hundred years. If our own begins going off, it wouldn’t sur- prise me a bit to see us keep right on going down the coast until we had carried cur southern border to the Panama Canal. This is exactly what every Central American expects us to do, and it is probably inevit- able. We need those countries, and the world needs them. If they cannot mantain stable governments of their own, it will have to be done for them. let any other country do it, so if it is to be done we shall .have to do it ourselves. ‘‘A few years ago we were saying that if Central America was as stable as Mexico we would have no fault to find with that part of the world. Since then Mexico has set a mark for them all in instability. She makes even Nicaraugua look like the Rock of Gibraltar. It is probably futile. There is an unfortu- nate fusion of European and American blood down there which precludes the possibility of peace for very long at a time. Costa Rica is the best of those little republics. Her stability is probably explained by the influence of the United Fruit Co. The Fruit Company has to have the bananas, whether the Costa Ricans get office or not. About the one blessing of Central America is the banana dynasty in Costa Rica. If we had an oil dynasty in Mexico, and so down the isthmus, it would be better for everybody. ‘‘But, alas! .We are barred from doing what is prac- ticable by the principles we are maintaining. There is watching, waiting, minding our own business, Cen- tral America for the Central Americans, etc.’’ ‘‘Maybe we will have another business administra- tion in two years,’’ said the former postmaster. ‘*No chance. Once you get a set of principles, you never get shed of them,’’ Mr. Antwine said. Lady (at back door): What reduced you to beg- ging? Tramp: The war did it, mum. Lady: How did the war do it?

Sandman story of how the little boy goes out to search for it to be told that it is in the very home he ran away from. By Mrs. F. [TO lived in a far-off country C) on the other side of the ocean, but he was much like the little boys who live in this part of the world, at least many of them. Otto always thought some one else had better things than he had; that other boys had more fun because they did not have so much to do. One day he had been sent on an er- rand, which took him through a forest, ahd when he was going home he walked along thinking what fun it would be to do as you liked and have no one to tell you to do this or that. Suddenly he stopped and looked around him. A rabbit ran toward him and said: “Are you the boy who is looking for happiness?’’ “¥es,’’ replied Otto, “‘I would like to find a place where I could be happy, but I did not say it out loud.’’ “You don’t need to in this forest,” said the rabbit. “When you get to a certain: path all you have to do is to wish, and you have a chance to try to get. it, but you won’t find it here, for we are always in fear of “the hunter, although we have much to make us happy in spite of that.” O Otto walked along the path, and soon he met a boy wearing a vel- vet hat with a long plume and a suit of velvet also. “He must be happy,” said Otto. ‘‘He has nothing to do or he would not be wearing such nice clothes.’’ So he said to the boy, ‘‘Where ran I find happiness? I am tired of doing things I am told to do.’’ The boy looked at him and shook his head. “I do not know,’’ he said, sadly. ‘“T am never happy and I always have to do as others say. I am a prince and live in the castle at the end of this road, but you will not find what you are seeking there.’’ By and by he came to a field where there were boys about his age work- ing. “They will not know,”’ said Otto, “they wouldn’t be here if they knew,” “T have walked a long distance,”’ said Otto. “IT am looking for happiness. I don't suppose you can tell me where to find it.’’ “We are all happy here,’ said the poy. “We have a good home and live here with our parents. I do not know of another place where we could be happy.” “But you have to work and do as your parents tell you, don’t you?’ asked Otto. . “Of course we do,’”’ replied the boy, “but you cannot/ find a place where something is not required of you and home is the best place in the world, and our parents make it the happiest.”’ FTER a while Otto came to the forest again, and it was dark now, but by the moonlight he saw an owl sitting on the branch of a tree. “Perhaps he can tell me,” said Otto, “tT have heard that he is a very wise bird."" “Mr, Owl, can you tell me where I can find happiness?” asked Otto. “Where do you live?’’ asked the owl. “At home with my. father and moth- &5* AND 10# ADE of finest selected flour —bdaked in the Nationa) Biscuit Company way that the goodness : ‘cuannet ‘BISCUIT’ COMPANY A. Walker. eit eli te ed a ee Eee er,”’ replied Otto, “but I am looking for happiness. Where can I find it?’’ “You have been going right away from it ever since you started,” replied the owl. “The happiness you are Jook- ing for is in your own home; go back, and find it.’’ “He isn’t as wise as I thought,” said Otto,.as he walked away, and then he thought over all he had heard and seen since he had been seeking happi- ness, and he wondered if after all he had overlooked it as the owl had said. “I'll go home,” said Ottd, “‘and start out early another day.” To his surprise when he said this he found. himself in the path in the for- est which he view and he ran toward home. “Where have you been?” asked his mother. ‘Your father is out looking for you. Come and eat your supper.’ Otto was ashamed to tell. his mother he had been looking for happiness, and when he found his supper was some- thing that he especially liked he felt more guilty than ever. In a few minutes his father came in, and when Otto saw the look of joy on his face when he found that Otto was safe he began to think he had over- looked happiness after all, as the owl had said; that it was right in ‘his own home where his parents were, and that if he did right and loved them as they deserved to be loved he could find no greater happiness on earth than in his own home.

Always ee ee es Fables for Everyday Folks By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB. eae The Poor Relations. . NCE upon a time there was a rich O man. He had poor relations. The poor relation ts the proverbial “death's head at the feast.’’ Some mod- ern philosopher has said, “Your rela- tions are thrust upon you — but, thank heaven! you can choose your friends.”’ There- fore, most men would rather have poor friends than poor relations. So long have people gone on this theory that relations are usu- ally placed in the background, and “even uncongenial friends’ preferred. Therefore it often happens that people are not very well acquainted with their relations—espe- cially the poor ones. Another reason for this attitude toward relations is that they are usually unafraid to tell you the truth, and the tie that should bind therefore breaks. Of course there is the relation who presumes too much on the kinship and takes delight in wounding, but that is not the relation we are concerned with in this fable. It is with a family of poor relations that the rich man hardly knew, because even the thought of them was distasteful. They generally came together only at weddings and funerals. Once the poor relations were in déep trouble—almost in the down-and-out class—and as a last. resort they ap- pealed to this wealthy kinsman. But he turned a deaf ear to their plea. He was too busy to bother. Yet that very evening he gave a dinner to some snob associates, the cost of which would have saved the day for the poor rela- tions and put them on their feet again. A short time afterward, in further des- peration, they made a second attempt. When the telegram came he was giv- ing an expensive musicale for the ben- efit of the “Society for the Study of Orchids in Africa.”” .He turned to a fellow student from the jungle and said: “Another ‘touch’ from a poor re- lation,” and with a sigh referred it to his secretary with a “Send them a small check, the same as to the charity fund.” So it continued for years, fhe rich man spending money every minute for the pleasure of his friends and their friends. Now, it came to pase that the wheel of fortune took a sudden turn, as it often. does, and the man found himself with considerably lene in the way of worldly goods. He also found himself with fewer friends. This hurt him. So much £80 that he began to lose his. grip on things —his. nerve. He made one mistake aft- er another, and his property seemed to dwindle until he had-but a very small income. He had to seek humble quar- ters. Soon after this there came callers ~—the poor relations. He thought they came for more help and before they had time to tell the reason of their visit he hurried to tell them of his misfortunes. — “We know, uncle, tiful girl, “and we came you. ve “Brace ‘up, you're good as a dosen yet,” said a manly boy as he looked him squarely’ in the eye. “Come with us," said a sweet, lew- voiced mother. “And here’s the money you so kindly lent to us,” completed the father, who had once been the “down-and-out,”’ The rich man was astonished. He could not understand. He saw. them with different eyes; because he was now on the same plane. He realized what the words “blood is thicker than water” mean. He could not help wish- ing. the money he had spent on foolish friends was now available for a part- nership with such poor relations; for they. were rich indeed. They had love and to spare to a “poor relation,”’ The rich man learned this moral: Despise not a poor relation; he may have something for you that dear,” sald a beau- to comfort only your relationship can pur- { In fact, most of my mistakes were By Da le Di Chapter VI. 7 WAS really worried about Jane's | attitude, especially toward the house.

That she misses her home, he friends, the intimacy of girlish confidences, and if taken to a strange place to live, is more lonely than a man, with his business or profession to divert him, can ever be or conceive of her- being. made from having a mistaken view- poirt, or rather failing to take into account Jane’s Viewpoint; she was try- ing to adapt herself to an entirely new and strange existence, and I was doing little to help her. Another Patient. ORTUNATELY for my peace of mind, as giving me something to ‘do Git was no help to my pocket- book), I at last had another patient, a man named Olsen., Dr: Tobish sent him to the office with a note to. me: “This is Olsen,” he wrote. ‘Treat him kindly, but don’t bother to send a bill. You can’t collect, so save your postage. Try your new-fangled fol-de-rola on him. He's had the same complaint ever since I've known him.” The old Swede was a town charac- ter. He had a spina) affliction of some kind that had partially crippled him. He came to me regularly three times a week, and on these occasions would re late his symptoms with all the gusto imaginable; the pains in his back, the tingling sensations in his legs, until I could recite them backwards, which i sometimes did, to Jane’s delight. “How’s Olsen coming on?’ the. old doctor asked me one day when i chanced to be in the office when he came in. “Pains in back all gone? Legs stopped tingling?” thén without waiting for°'a reply went out chuck- ling to himself in a raucus voice. “Ay bane tell the old mon ay bane get well,’’ Olsen told me the next day, so explaining in part the doctor’s mirth. Iam telling of Olsen, because his case had a great effect on my after 1 Sigler paw io. Bs OM Jane was tiring of the’ country, {8 cuietude, its loneliness. She -was bored, and took no pains to conceal it. She began to resent my having brought her where she had no social life—such as she had been accustomed to—no pleas- ures of the sort she enjoyed. No opera, no theaters—save one second-class house,» and a moving picture house which she would not be persuaded to enter. While we had not again ‘active- ly quarreled, ‘we had many little mis- understandings, and many days when neither of us took any pains to make things pleasant. Jane Speaks Enviaqusly. ITH-the exception of Mrs. Hem- ming, the druggist’s wife, Jane cared nothing for the worhen of the town.

Is s Vindicated of Charge of Degeneracy, | Briewx Asserts War Proves ohe Is Virife Nation Noted Playwright and Academician Analyzes Conditions Which Gave World Wrong Im- . pression— Republic Reawakened. believes that France has been fully vindicated before the world of Fr" seiev BRIEUX, famous French author, playwright and academician the charge of degeneracy. The war has awakened her and again she is reckoned as one of the world’s virile nations, strongest in adversity because of that virility. Bricuz has just completed a lecture tour of thé United States. came to this country in November and has just sailed for France. He He visited nearly every important American city, including S8t. Louis. Just before he departed he gave the Post-Dispatch permission to use the fol- lnwing excerpts from his lecture on the awakening and rcgeneration of France. NTIL very recently the greater J number of the friends of France, when she was spoken of with se- verity in their presence, confined them- selves to protesting feebly or maintained a mournful! silence. If they refused to share the opinions of her enemies these latter brought them the already printed opinions of Frenchmen about themselves and made them read what Frenchmen were saying about one another. ne could not but surrender before such testimony, of which one was unable to say that it was that of ignorant per- sons. And when the friends of’ France woiced their persistent estéem for the French women it was enough to get them to read two or three French novels, te take them to hear ‘two or three French plays, and they were re- duced to silence, though perhaps not convince. It is to these stubborn friends who refused to believe in the evidence even when it was furnished by our- selves that every Frenchman who knows of it treasures a’ thankfulness which will cease only with himself. France was doubting her own strength, her own dignity and her own future; she seemed to be accepting the lessen- ing of her role in the world. And around her a certain’ number of ‘optimistic spirits resigned themselves to with- drawing their admiration from _ her, without, however, being able to make up their minds to love her no more. After 1870 France Was ‘Tike a Stuneed Man, HE astonished world discovered, lit- T tle by little, that the affirmations of the enemies of France were lies and that the judgments the French had formed of themselvés were fals¢; that France was siandered by her poli- ticlans and Ubeled by her writers. Thor the war broke out. The events that are unfolding at the moment when |! am speaking demonstrate that what had been taken for the torpor, the dying agony of the people, was merely a sleep—and I shall prove to you that this sleep was only apparent, was per- haps but a state of musing. The aston- ished world, I say, perceives that France is very much alive, and her enemies are learning to their cost that she is ever young and strong, and her women are healthy and brave and that her sons have not degenerated. She was suffering, however, and froin a deep-seated disease. Whence came this sickness? After the disasters of 1870 France was literally in the condition of a man stag- gered, stunned by a terrible blow, he had not been expecting. She was in the condition of a man knocked out and who, on coming to himself again, per- ceives that he has been at once robbed and put in the pillory. France Had an Air of Shame of Bird With Clipped Wings. BELIEVE that In all the history of | the world there have been few po- litical mistakes more grave than that of which the victor made himself guilty in imposing such a humiliation upon the vanquished. The rest was nothing. Had he extorted 10 milliards instead of five, it would have been nothing. The remembrance of such an exaction would have disappeared after the last pay- ment. Prosperity would have returned. It has returned. Victor and vanquished would in time have Been able to look at each other without hatred. It would have been possible to forget. It was not possible with that blot upon the map of Europe (Alsace-Lorraine),with that gash in the side of France, with that ampu- tation. The grievous wound, ever burn- ing, permitted no more any pride, and that new color, that indentation upon the geographical pictures, was like a placard of infamy hung about the neck of every citizen. France felt the sting of it with a tor- ture that for 2 or 3% years deprived her of several of her qualities. She, the proud, was constrained to an attitude of subjection. She had that air of shame worn by a bird whose wings have been clipped. And nothing could be miore contrary to her nature. . . . Wroeag Impression of the Women of France, IGHT years ago I protested public- E ly against this mistake in a play called ‘La Francaise.’ I had put upon the stage an American from th: far West who knew the French woman only through our remances, our stage and those to whom he had been intro- 4yeed by & young man he had met on the boulewaré fm front of the Grand @otel. Arriving tn France he meets 4 svench woman, a respectable woman. and he is lacking in respect to her. She says to him: “You must not judge French womea ea our novels, our plays, nor from the girle who have entertained you. In epite of all you have seen, in spite vf alijyou have read, you know nothing either of the literature or of the Women those you do not see. That is to say, the vast majority; they are all those who live with their husbands and chil- dren, in their homés, in those homes that you will not penetrate. They arv those you will not meet upon the boule- vards nor in the promeénades of the coh- certs, nor at the places where they make merry, at the places of debauch, of which you, you foreigners, are the best. clients!’’ This woman's husband has been ruined financially. Tone American asks her what they will live on and pities her, accustomed as she is to luxury, dwelling in a small dark apartment .n Paris, among cheap furniture on his | stmnall ‘salary. “Stxle of Our Costumes More Costly Than Material.” HE says: “There is no reason why S my daughter and I cannot add 7 something to it. And then an en- gineer’s salary, well managed * * * First of all you must give up the idea of a small dark apartment. By living far enough away—and high enough—one can gét air and light quite cheaply, and if one is vain one can tell her good friends that the locality has been recom- mended by the doctor for the health of the children... As for the furniture—if you only knew how cheaply you can make luxury with Indian stuffs upon the walls and a remnant of Liberty silk draped over a mirror, and if you knew how easy it is to find in our Paris shops jars that with a 4-cent bunch of mi- mosas give the effect of an object d’art in a Chicago drawing room!’’ He asks her about costumes and dia- monds. “The style of our costumes,’’ she an- swers, “is almost always more costly than the material. And we have the styles at the tips of our fingers. Dia- monds are out of style—and «hen they imitate them so well! Wher you admire the elegance of one of our theater audi- ences yju Never’ Buspest how much in- genuity more than one of the women spectators has expended before taking her place. More than one, I can tell you, wears a costume which has per- haps received its last stitch an hour before the rise of the curtain. The husband on returning from his business has found his linen ready and his. coat brushed beter may he could have had it done by a valet, and even the collar button has been tried in order to avoid the dreaded storm. Courage and Good Humor, Happy Without Wealth. HE white gloves will be very white; A 2 they have been cleaned and mend- ed by the very hands that are wearing them, and when you see her so elegant and joyous, in the glitter of dia- monds that are falsé, pearis that are false, but that upon her look as if they were real, while upon the neck of oth- ers real brilliants become suspicious— you would never suspect that tomorrow morning she will put on old. gloves to help the nurse or thé mall of all work. And all this is done gayly, without thinking herself a heroine, because she has courage and good humor in her blood! There is the secret of happiness without wealth.” “Why do you not put that sort of thing into your novels?’ he asks. “Because you would not buy them,” answers the French woman, laughing. The majority of foreigners who did not come to oe and who had no opportunity to ét real French women retained the opinion they had formed from their reading of current French. writings. For the morality of the French they referred to our romances and to our political journals. Why the Freach Bore an Attitude of Humiliation. S to their energy, they A opinions upon the ‘Frenchmen they saw. They found them with- out enthusiasm, even without animation. It is true that for a long time after the war most of the Frenchmen one could see away from their own homes bore a constrained, humiliated attitude. I will tell you why. They—I am speak- ing of business men, merchants, the representatives of commerce—were op- pressed by the inequality of the strug- gie in which they were engaged. The economic conditions the treaty vf Frankfort had imposed upon us were such that they knew themselves van- quished in advance. Germany was abi- to give her industry free scope not only with our five milllards but also by Ar- ticle 11 of that treaty, which made our competition impossible. By this article Germany exacted the same commercial treatment from France that France ac- corded to the most favored nation, which is to say, that we could not make present to anyone without being obliged to make the same present to our enemy. From this arose that senee of oppression that has been noticed ani of which perhaps the true explanation was not given. France Haas Leve end fer Humes Life. HERE is something else.

How do you expect me to keep a girl if she has to get four meals in the morning? “Yes, the children’s breakfast to get off to school, and then you come down late a morning like this and are more trouble than three breakfasts!’’ “I surely admire your mathematics,” yawned Mr. Jarr, “but please go ‘way and let me sieep. You know I was working late at the office last night and am not expected down today till noon.”’ “Yes, and I was working till late last night, mending and darning after you, but I'm up early.

It was simply an allusion to your bustling and cheerful industry.” “Well, my industry isn’t so very cheerful this morning,” said Mrs. Jarr, somewhat mollified. ‘You get up, se I can -make that bed.’’ “Where's my trousers?’ “T hung them in your closet. Hurry to breakfast; everything is getting cold!’’ Mr. Jarr groped for five minutes among a million underskirts, five hun- dred thousand shirt waists, three million skirts, seven hundred thousand articles of lingerie on hooks and hangers and then sat down in despair. oN hig Conrrigm®, 1315, Prees Publishiag Coa _ epee ance nen ~---— Of a Sudden Flooey Generously Decides to Let Axel Take the First Shot!
