Fact That He Was Not Pres- ent When Sentenced for Factory Girl’s Murder Not Considered to Be Vital. WASHINGTON, April 19.— Leo M. Frank of Atfanta, Ga., the murder of Marv Phagan, an At- under death sentence for lanta factory girl, 14 years old, lost another step in his fight for life in the Supreme Court of the United States today. In a decision by Justice Pitney, to which Justices Holmes and Hughes dissented, the Court dis- missed Frank’s appeal from the Federal Court of Georgia, which refused to release him ona writ of habeas corpus. Apparently the only course now left to Frank is an appeal for a pardon or com- mutation of sentence. Frank contended that “alleged mob violence’ at his trial and the fact -that he was absent from the courtroom when the jury returned its verdict had re- moved him from the jurisdiction of the courts of Georgia. The majority opin- ion of the Supreme Court rejected all those contentions and declared Frank rights in the Georgia courts. Thorough Inquiry Made. Justice Pitney stated that the obliga- tion rested upon the Supreme Court to look through the form and into the very heart and substance of the matter, not only of the averment in Frank’s peti- tion, but in the trial proceedings in the State courts themselves. “The petition contains a narrative of disorder, hostile manifestations and up- roar,” said the Justice, ‘which if it stood alone and were to be taken as true, may be conceded to have been inconsistent with a fair trial and an impartial verdict. But to consider this as standing alone is to take a wholly superficial view; for the narrative is coupled with other statements from “hich it clearly appears that the same allegations of disorder were submitted first to the trial court and afterwards te the Supreme Court of Georgia, as a ground for avoiding the consequences of the trial and these allegations were considered by those courts successively at times and places and under circum- stances wholly apart from the atmor- phere of the trial and free from any —, of mob domination or the 6. “The facts were examined by those courts upon evidence submitted on both sides and beth courts found Frank's allegations to be Sroundless of irregularity not harmful to the defendant. “This court holds that such a de- termination of the facts can not, in this collateral inquiry, be treated as a nullity, but must be taken as set- ting forth the truth of the matter some reasonable ground is shown for an inference that the Su- preme Court of Georgia either was wanting in jurisdiction or committed error in the exercise of its jurisdic- tion; and the mere assertion by the prisoner that the facts of the matter are other than the State courts, upon full investigation, determined them to be, will not be treated as raising an fesue respecting the correctness where the very evidence upon which the determination was _ rested is withheld. by him who attacks the finding. Presence in Court Net Vital. “Respecting the fact that Frank 5* not present in the courtroom when the verdict was rendered (his presence having been waived by his counsel, but without his knowledge or consent) the Georgia court held that because Frank, shortly after the verdict, was made fully aware of the facts and he then made a motion for a new trial upon more than 100 grounds not including this as ene and had that motion heard by beth the trial court and the Supreme Court, he ceuld not, after this motion had been finally adjudicated against him, move to set aside the verdict an a nullity becauge of his absence when the verdict was rendered. This court holds that there is nothing in the Fourteenth Amendment to pre- Lieut. Garros, Noted French Aviator, Taken _ Prisoner by Germans BERLIN. by wireless to Sayville, April 1%.

SMOKING ON THREE REAR SEATS ALLOWED ON ALL STREET CARS United Railwars Co. Lifts Bat— “Summer Regulation,” President MeCalloch Says. The United Railways Co. w going to make the jitneys watch its smoke. It has lifted the embargo on smoking, and under a new rule which is in effect this week passengers may puff their Havana or alfalfa in the three rear seats on any car, including the ones with the closed rear vestibules and tne side-door trail- ers. For months it has been the poli-v of the company to prohibit smoking ex- cept on the rear platforms of the old- style, open-vestibule cars. Richard McCulloch, president of the United Railways Co., today told a Post- Dispatch reporter that under the new ruling the semi-circular observation seats in the rear end of a closed trailer will be a smokers’ seat. The practice of smoking on the rear platforms of closed vestibule motor cars will not be encouraged, McCulloch said, and smok- ers on these cara will be expected to step inside and take the three rear seats. When the closed cara were construct- ed signs were .built into them saying that smoking would not be permitted on any part of the car at any time. McCulloch said the new rule was a “summer regulation.” 2 BOYS KILLED BY BATTED BALLS One im New Jersey and One in Rich- mond, Va., Hit When Watebing Games. FREHOLD, N. J., April 19.—John A.

Pelouze, his brother-in-law, today said: “Mr. Thompson has cut out al! kinds of alcoholic drinks. He saw he could not stand the strain of a hard adminis- tration if he handicapped himself with drink. He has cut down on smoking, too. He has gone in for Srapejuice, and has returned to donors three cases of champagne sent to him after elec- tion.’ LONDON, April 19.—Ten thousand Protestant churches throughout En- sland observed yesterday as King’s Pledge Sunday.

FIVE FIRMS PROMOTED Was Advanced to These Concerns: $108,110 May Be Realized. Rdwin W. tee, receiver for the Mevy- er Bros. Drug. Co.. filed with Circuit Judge Taylor today his report for the 4% business davzs he has been in charge of the company. This was supplemented by the report of a firm of expert ac- countants which examined the books of the drug company at the time the re- ceiver was appointed. The accountants set forth that cer- tain officers and stockholders of the company, at various times, have with- drawn sums of money which total $751,- 220.98. These are referred to in the re- port as overdrafts, and the report says that the ability of these officers and stockholders to refund this money de- pends on many circumstances. The por- tion of this amount which readily can be realized upon is estimated in the re- port, to be $15,000. Five Corporations Promoted. The accountants’ report also states that five corporations promoted by cer- tain officers of the drug company, and owning realty and leaseholds in St. Louis, have received advances from the drug company to the extent of $361,482.71, and that Fred G. Zeibig, a reality expert, estimates that $108,110.10 should be real- ized from them. The report also mentions a claim of Mrs. EF. K. Meyer, the wife of an of- ficer of the company, for the proceeds of a note for $100,000, deposited with the company. The note was secured by col- lateral and endorsed by the company. The report states that the company pursued the policy of carrying life in- surance upon delinquent debtors, and that Feb. 9, 1915, they were carrying in- surance of that character to the extent of $201,2%0. The average ages of the in- sured are given at 69 years, and only a few of the policies have a cash surren- der value. The total cash surrender value is said to be $2255.62 and the com- pany to date has invested $80,000 in premiums. The assets of the company, the repore says, include warehouse property in Kansas City, salt mines in Michigan and residence, farm and timber property, the equity of which is estimated at $160, - 84. The accountants state that at the time the books were investigated the in- debtedness of customers to the company was $36%.891.43. Saving in Discount and Salary. The repert of Receiver Lee states that for a casideruble period before the appointy:ert of tue receiver the company had not availed itself of dis- counts on purchases tecause of lack of cash. He states that be had taken advantaye cf disccunts o: all purchases since assuming charge of the concern and has saved in this manner $6,635.03. He states thac he has retaiued only such employes as were considered absolutely ne-eerary ard that the sav'ng in salaries in tw.) months has been $2,933.33. Receiver Lee says that from an ex- amination of the books it appears that the business of the firm has totaled from $35,000,000 to $6,000%u a year. He estimated that from the amount of busi- ness during the time he has been in charge the total this year will be from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000. When he took possession he says the company had notes and accounts col- lectable to the extent of $358,081.12, and that he has collected $263,547.85 on them. Sales during the time Lee has been in charge amounted to $512,487.51 and $217,- $81.23 of this sum has been'collected. A great part of the balance the report says is not due. ani>anal 7 manana. ar eal tising, vesterday. Any Way, POST-DISPATCH alone. it. follow.

DEMAND FOR $50,000 Roberts Refers to Amount as a Loan—Firm Speaks of It as Speculation Deposit. How a considerable fortune was lost in coitor speculation in 1909 by E. Mason Noberts of 0630 Bartmer avenue, presi- dent of the American Beverage Co., while playing the market through the firm of Francis & Bro. Commission Co., was disclosed this afternoon when Il. L. Leonard, attorney for the firm, gave «a Post-Dispatch reporter a statement in answer to Roberts’ suit for $59,000, filed |jast Saturda\, against the Francis firm. Roperts. in his suit, allegcod he lent the Trancis firm $50.00 in 199, at 41. cent interest. The petition bears with it a form of receipt dated Dec. 23, 1909, whick sayvs the commission compa:y on that date received a $50,000 deposit from Roberts, bearing interest at 4’* per cent a year. “T think Mr. Moberts had forgotten the facts in this matter when he per- mitted this suit to be filed,’ Leonard said, in a typewritten statement in be- qaif of the Francis firm. “Deposit of 50,000." “Five or six vears azo Mr. Roberts Started in to buy cotton and deposited, | believe, $0,000 with Francis company to secure his purchases. cHwas too op- timistic on the prospects of an advance in cotton, and his trading was not financiaily successful. In fact, when the active account was closed he owed some- thing like $15,000 for advancements made by this house in a generous attempt to Save a customer from serious loss. Mr. Roberts was unable, o; at least was not inclined, to pay them for these advance- ments. “The matter was turned over to me and I have for some time been in com munication with Mr. Roberts in the hopes that he could be induced o pay this balance due. In fact, I advised them some time ago that they should, as an ordinary incident of business, obtain their judgment against Mr. Roberts for this amount.” Roberts Tells of Deal. Roberts and his attorneys had refused to explain the details of the transaction Saturday. but when informed of Attor- ney Leonard's statement, he told of his speculation in cotton. Roberts said he had found two Fran- cls corporations, one a corporation with- in another. He said he dealt in cotton with one corporation, and that he loane:l $50,000 to the other corporation, just as he would lend it to a bank. The mone\. he said, had been in banks at 3 per cent interest and he took it to the Francis firm when Henry Hiemenz of the firm told him he could get 4% per cent for it there. He said he had met every call for ad- ditional margins to protect his cotton deals, and that when he had to go South for his health, in 1909, he put up other collateral and also informed the brokerage firm he would put up addi- tional collateral to protect his trad- ings. While he was in the South, Roberts Said, the cotton market broke and he was sold out when the market was at its lowest ebb. Woberts said, ‘Later the market recovered, and there would have been no loss if the brokers had stood by me.” His Account Examined. Roberts said he had a report from an auditor, who examined his account wit the brokers, and that the auditor re- ported the brokers owed him $20,000 on his trades. He said that if the brokers paid this $20,000, besides returning the $50,090 he lent them, his loss in the mar- ket would only be about $10.9000. The brokers, he said, contend he lost abou: $80,0000 in speculation and kept the $5v,- 10, which, he savs, he had loaned to an- other corporation, to cover this alleged loss. In his suit Roberts alleged he had made frequent demands for the return of the $50,000, with interest, and never hai received any part of it. His suit is against David R. Francis, David R. Francis Jr, J. D. Perry Francis, \C Henry Hiemenz and J.

That is, he thought they were shooting craps, according to his report. He ran toward the bovs to get evi- dence, he says, and when within 15 feet of them stopped suddenly, so suddenly he jolted his revolver from its holster. As the revolver fell, according to the report, Cooper grabbed for it and in scooping it up his finger struck the tri- ger. A bullet was discharged. Th»? boys escaped. Several hours later, according to the report, Cooper learned he had shot Clif- ford Weich, 19 years old, of 4212 Vista avenue, in the fleshy part of the arm. Welch was only slightly wounded. He admitied having been with the crowd that attracted the patrolman’'s atten- tion.

Gordon believes the robbers climbed the iron lattice work over a window in the rear of the store and broke through an unguarded transom. After examining and photograph- ing the finger prints, detectives dis- covered that they were made by knitted gloves, the ribs and seams of which were easily apparent under the microscope. John FP.

JURY IN CAMPBELL CASE Objection to First Talesman Be- cause He Is Roman Catholic is Overruled. The trial of the James Campbell will contest case, involving an estate of more than $10,000,000, was begun in Judge and at its mit- set it became apparent that. the ligious belief of the talesmen would made an important issue in selectins the jury, Il. Frank Ottofyv. counsel for the nephews and nieces of Campbell who are seeking to break the will, raise? this point in questioning the first mem- of jury panel, Eberhard n- neuser, fourth vice president of the An- heuser-Busch Brewing Association. When Anheuser, in response to a question by Ottofy, said he was a Roman Catholic, Ottofy promptly chal- lenged his fitness to serve and asked Kinsey's court today re- be six ber the that he be excluded from the panel. Ottoty’s Request Overruled. ‘Judge Kinsey overruled Ottofy’s re- ouest after asking Anheuser whether he would decide according to the evidence and court instructions regardless of his religious belief. Ottofy's stated reason for challenging Anheuser was that uh- der Campbell's will a large share of his estate ultimately will go te Si. Louis University, a Catholic institution. Mrs. W. H. Harrison of Cincinnati, one of the nieces contesting the estate. was the only principal who personally appeared in court. She was accom- panied by Mrs. !.. T. Riesmever, a daughter of Mrs. Rosa V. Curtis of 641 Nebraska avenue, sister of James Camp- hell. Mrs. Curtis is one of the contest- ants and is expected to testifv at the trial. Campbell's widow, Mrs. Florence A. Campbell, and Mrs Lois Apn Burkham, named in his will as his daughter, were not in court. The issue now being tried ts whether or not Mrs. Burkham is the daughter of James Campbell. Under a court rul- ing. this question is to be decided by a jury before other issues in the case are taken up. Case Hinges on Parentage. If it is decided that Mrs. Burkham is Campbell's daughter, the other issues never will be tried, as the nephews ani nieces, being merely collateral heirs, could have no claim to the estate if ,t were shown that Campbell left a child.

He declared to a reporter that she will be brought forward as the star witness.

Musick, who formerly lived fice at Clavton without the com- at 5112 Washington houlevard and operated as the W. L. Musick Realty Co.. at $10 Olive street, is said to have left St. Louis about a vear ago and now has an office in the New York Life Building in Chicago. Receiver Guick said the investigation of Musick’s collateral was ordered by him, as receiver, so he could inform himself as to the worth of the Bankers Trust Co. assets. in the course of this investigation, he said, investigators were sent to Clayton to look at the records there, and in this way it was learned of the release of four deeds of trust. two of which were for 8750 each, one for $7 and one for $80. Quick said his investigation convinced him that all the rest of the collateral pledged bv Musick was govd Among this collateral, he said, are many other deeds of trust. Fourth Under Investigation. Quick said a fourth deed of trust WaS» under investigation. The $850 deed of trust on lot 3, block 14, in St. Louis County. It was agated Oct. 23, 192. and ran for four vears. It was given by Clarepgce P. Wilkerson to L. B. Lehew to W. L. Musick. Wilkerson and Lehew are aaid to have been emploved by Musick. The deed, according to Quick's information, was released April, 1913, by the W. L. Musick Realty Co., W. L. B.

One deed of trust for $750 covered lot 6. block 4. Musick subdivision, was dated Oct. 2%. 112. and matured in four years. It was made to Lehew and was released Lehew Oct. 28, 1913, with the marginal notation, “notes produced and = can- celled.” Quick says the Bankers’ Trust Co. also has the original deed of trust and notes in this case. The other $750 deed of trust. on lot 3, tlock 3, Musick subdivision, was execut- ed Oct. 23, 1913, by a straw man to Le- hew, with Musick as the third party. This was released Oct. 28, 1913, Quick savs, and on the margins appears the atatement that the deed and notes were produced by Lehew. The Bankers’ Trust Quick says, also holds the original deed and notes in this cage. Musick, reached by long distance tele- phone this afternoon at his office in Chi- cago by a Post-Dispatch reporter, de- clared that the Bankers’ Trust Co. never did have his deeds of trust upon the two properties described as Lot 3, Block 14. and Lot 5, Block 12, in the Musick sub- division. The latter, he said, he sold to FE. J.

The grand jury this afternoon fini its inquiry into A. H. Frederick's traffic in forged deeds of trust, and began an exhaustive investigation into the real estate transactions of Charies Christian Crone of 5226 Waterman avenue, Who has offices at 3618 North Broadway. It is considered certain Crone will be indicted on a forgery charge in at least one of his real estate transactions. The degree of forgery. however, will have to be determined by the grand jury. This indictment is expected from evi- dence already placed in Ctreult Atter- ney Harvey's possession by Dr. R. Em- met Kane, president of the 8t.

An official statement from the Britis5 Admiralty gives the substance of further report concerning the loss life aboard the _ transport Manitou, which was attacked by a Turkish tor- pedo boat in the Aegean Sea, whici later was beached and destroyed. The report shows that 200 men were drowne’ instead of 100, as first reported, and that 24 others aré missing. The transport itself was not damaged. The loss of jlife was due to the capsizing of one hoat in the water and another while leing lowered, owing to the breaking of a davit. A Chios dispatch to the Times gives an account of the attack on the Man-:- tou, boat's créw., torpedo which they itou. The torpedo boat was a small, 97-ton craft, the Demir Kapu, and was manneé by 34 men, of whom seven were Germans. According to the story told to the Governor of Chios, the Demir Kapu slipped out of the Dardanelles a month ago and had since been lurking in coves along the Astatic shore, wait- ing for a chance to destroy any troop- ship which might appear. The opportunity came two days ag?, when the Manitou separated from her escort. Having launched two torpedoes the torpedo boat outpaced its pursuers, and at nightfall slipped into an inden- tation on the ..siatic shore.

McCombs, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Mrs. Me- Combs had separated, and the belief among close friends of the couple was that Mrs. McCombs soon would sue for divorce. Mrs. McCombs has spent much time for several months at the home of her parents, Col. and Mrs. John B. Wil- liams, in Washington. Recently she has been staying at the country estate of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter, in Mc- Lean, Va. Mrs. Leiter and Mrs. Mc- Combs are sisters. Marriage a Great Surprise. and Mrs. McCombs have been less than 18 months, the wed- ding having been celebrated in Lon- don Nov. 7, 1913. Washington society Was greatly surprised at the marriage, the announcement of which was made only day in advance of the cere- mony. Before her marriage Mrs. McCombs who was Miss Dorothy Williams, was a leader of the younger set in the capital, and she is recognized as one of Wash- ington’s most prominent young tmatrons. On two occasions there had been ruz- mors of Miss Williams’ engagement— once to Representative Gillett and once to Capt. Archibald Butt, who was lost with the Titanic. Sne and her sisters were educated in the Georgetown Con- and have taken a great in- terest in that. institution. Friends of Mrs. McCombs have com- mented for some time on her frequent visits to her parents’ home. She would slip quietly into town, it is said, and the first intimation her acquaintances would have of her presence in Washington was when a chance meeting occurred. McCombs was at the Williams home, suffering from {ll health, a little more than a month ago. She then went to Virginia, and since has been living quietly with the Leiters. Among the close friends of Mrs. Me- Combs is Miss Helen Taft. They moved for vears in the same circles and were entertained by the same hosts on nu- merous occasions. They were equally fond of dancing and were the leading spirits in many brilliant affairs while Mr. Taft was President. Wedding Surprised President. At the time of the marriage of Miss Williams and McCombs the latter was slated for the.post of Ambassador to France and it was believed he would accept the office. S80 closely did Mc- Combs guard his love affair that the President could hardly credit the news when told of the approaching wedding of the national chairman. The ceremony, which took place in the chapel of St. Peter and St. Edward, was attended by a brilliant company. Among the guests present at the wed- ding and at the wedding breakfast at the Ritz Hotel were Col. and Mrs. Wi!- liams, Walter Page, American Ambassa- dor to Great Britain, and Mrs. Page. Myron TT.

ATLANTA, Ga., April 19.—Leo M. Frank's attorneys, when informed of the decision today of the United States Supreme Court, said they believed that every means in Frank’s behalf before the courts now had been exhausted. They added that they now probably would prepare a petition for presentation before the Georgia Prison Commission, asking for commutation of Frank's sen- tence. “T am Supreme up the fight,’ much disappointed over the Court's decision but 1 will keep said Le» M.

Lawyers who have watched the case closely du not believe Gov. Slaton will act in the matter though it is likely an appeal for clemency will be addressed to him as well as to the Prison Commis- sion. View of Dissenting Judges. Justice Holmes based his dissent largely on the ground that the find- ing of the State Supreme Courton the existence of mob violence at a trial is not binding on the United States Supreme Court, as was the majority. He said he saw for adopting a sterner rule in inal appeals than in civil appeals and held, where questions of law and fact were intermingled in civil cases, as here, the United States Supreme Court may review a state court's finding of fact “The single question in continued Justice Holmes, “is wheth- er a petition alleging that the trial took place in the midst of a mob, savagely and manifestly intent on a single result, is shown on its face unwarranted by the specifications, which may be presumed to set forth the strongest indications of the fact at the petitioner's command. “This iz not a matter for polite pre- sumptions; we must look facts ‘n the face.

But supposing the alleged facts to be true, we are of the opinion that if they were before the Supreme Court it sanctioned a situation upon which the courts of the United States should act and if for any reason rney were not he- fore the Supreme Couirt, it is our duty to act upon them now and to declare lynch law as little valid when practiced by a regularly drawn jury as when adminis- tered by one elected by a mob intent on death.’’ Sentenced Three Times. Leo M. Frank’s legal fight for life has taken a place among the celebrated mur- der cases of recent years. Seven times since his conviction tn August, 1913, the lower and Supreme ccurts of the State of Georgia refused to grant Frank a new trial or to set asice the verdict; three times the sentence of death was passed upon him and twice appeals were made 10 the United States Supreme Court, the first being unsuccessful and the secona resulting in the decision to- day. Frank’s Statement. Frank was placed on trial in Superior Court, July 28, 1913, Judge L. 8S. Roan presiding. Judge Roan died March 23, 1915, in New York. A verdict of guilty was returned Aug. 25, Frank being sen- tenced to death. In his statement to the jury at the close of his trial rank said he had seen Mary Phagan in his office in the factory, a few minutes before the time the State contended she was mur- dered; that he paid the girl her wages and that she left his office. The theory of the defense has been that Conley, vwnO was about the building when the girl entered, and who had been drinking, attacked and killed the girl afler she left Frank's office. In October, 1913, Frank's attorneys filed a motion for a new trial, alleging ii? errors In admission of testimony and conduct of the trial, and also charging that demonstrations hy the crewd with- in and outside the courtroom during the trial nad interfered with a fair verdict. Judge Roan denied the motion and the ‘seorgia Supreme Court affirmed hig ac- tion Feb. 17, 1914. A motion for relear. ing of the appeal was denied by the State Supreme Court two weeks later. “Spirit of Mob Violence.” An extraordinary motion ae new trial and a motion to set aside the verdict were filed simultaneously in Superior Court April 16, 1914. Among the grounds alleged in the motion for a new trial was that of newly discovered evidence. tion to set aside the verdict was based On the ground that Frank's constitutional rights had been vio- lated by the trial court. His attor- neys alleged that Frank had not been given a fair trial because of the Rh age of mob violence that pervaded t courtroom;” and also that his constitutional rights had been vio- lated because Frank and his attor- neys had been absent from the court- room, without Frank’s consent. when the verdict was returned. This ab- sence, it was claimed, was at the request of the presiding Judge, who was quoted as saying he feared mob violence against Frank and his law- yers if a verdict of acquittal were returned, « sae by i The eatraordinary motion for a The mo-: ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH WIEGAND TELLS OF POPES APPROVAL new trial was denied by the Superior Court May 6, and the decision was affirmed by the State Supreme Court Oct. 14. The Superior Court on June 6, 1914, dismissed the motion to set aside the verdict on constitutional grounds, by sustaining the State's demurrer to the motion. The Supreme |} Court affirmed this action Nov. 14, 1914, and six days afterward the Su- preme Court refused to certify a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court. Writ of Error Denied. To review that action, application was made first to Justice Lamar, then to Justice Holmes and finally to the entire Supreme Court of the United States, for a writ of error. All held that the de- cision of the Georgia Supreme Court could not be reviewed because its ac- tion was based on grounds of procedure, namely, that the plea for setting aside ths verdict should have been advanced at the time the motions for new trial were made. Application was made Dec. Newman of the Federal District Court for Northern Georgia, for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging Frank had peen convicted without dve process of law: that the trial court had lost jurisdiction over him during the trial because it waa “dominated by a mob hostile to the prisoner,’’ and that Frank had been ab- sent from the courtroom when the ver- dict was returned. Two days later Judge Newman refused the writ of habeas corpus, holding that to grant it would mean that a Federal Court should review the action of the State courts in a Manner not warranted by the law of the country, and that, too, after the Su- preme Court of the United States had decided no Federal question remained for consideration in the case. Judge Newman also refused to issue a cer- tificate of “probable cause” for appeal to the Supreme Court, but it was issued by Justice Lamar Dec. 28, and the case came to the Supreme Court for review of Judge Newman's action, argument being made last February. 19 to Judge QUEEN OF ITALY MAY LOSE ARM, SHE WRITES TO AMERICAN GIRL Cousin of Ambassador Guthrie of Japan Told of Possible Amputation ns Result of Injury in 1908. LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 19.—Miss Irme Guthrie Wright, cousin of Ambas- gador Guthrie of Japan, and for many vears a protege of Queen Helena of Italy, has received a letter from the Queen in her own writing, saying the injury she received in her work among the wounded in Messina, after the earth- quake in 1908, has given her much trou- ble and she fears she may lose her right arm. A heavy beam fell on the Queen's arm, bruising it badly. The wound healed rapidly and it was not until after the birth of her fourth child, in January, that it caused any trouble. She says amputation is now a possibility. The Queen stated that no announce- ment of her condition had been made in Italy. DIPLOMAS NEXT JUNE 10 COST YALE’S 26!

Von Wiegand. VIENNA, April. 19.—Appreciating the responsibility devolving upon me, and recognizing the high honor shown me, I consider it my duty to clear up any doubt of the Pope's words. In order to prevent misinterpretation, I will mail the Post-Dispatch a photoxgraphic fac simile of the text of the message. Realizing the importance of the occa- sion and desiring to avoid any possi- Lie misunderstanding, or controversy, | submitted to the Pope, through the in- terpretor the Holy Father himself had designated, that part of the interview containing his greetings «nd Easter riessage to America, translated into Italian. It was returned the following coy, being handed to me by a member of the Pope's official family, who re- rrarked that the Holy Father carefully rend it, and himself corrected it. The Pope wanted it back with my sig- rature, but my plea to be vermitted to retain this treastired souvenir of a mem- Orable audience was granted. Across the top is written, “‘Originale approvalo (a sua santita Beneditto XV." Only 1 few corrections had teen made: several words had been underlined. The name of President Wilson's friend, through whom the Pope aaid he had Sent word to the President, that he was willing to support him in his peace ef- forts, was crossed out. the Pope adding the line reading “‘One of the President's righest friends.’’ The charge of the Tribuna of Rome. that T obtained the audience by chang- ing my name, is not worth dignifying by an answer. I am convinced that any cther American correspondent who had conceived the idea of a peace message from the Pope for Easter and worked as long and persistently as I dld, would have been just as successful ae T. Many weeks ago I determined to get a peace interview with some one im- portant @nough so that his words for peace would ring throughout the world above the din of battles, and I suc- ceeded.

Any attempt to read into the inter- view what is not there, or place an in- terpretation on any particular sentence or utterance of the Pope to suit one side or the other. is questioning the sin- cerity and purity of the high exalted motives of the Holy Father as IT un- derstood them, and tried conscientious! v to portray them. at an who Accuracy of Pope's Interview Denied in Vatican Organ. ROME, April 198.—Tne accuracy of Pope Benedict's peace interview with Karl H. von Wiegand, the correspondent of the New York World and Post-Dispatch is denied editorially in the Osservatore Romano, the official organ of the Vati- can. , It is stated in the press here that Cardinal Gaasparri, papal Secretary of State, has given written assvrance to the British, Russian and Belgian envoys that no appeal was made to America on the subject of discontinuing the supply of war munitions to the alifes. Similar eee AC MI oe assurance has been cabled to Washing« ton. It is an epen secret In the Vatican, Rome papers say, that Mgr. Gerlach, Austrian private chamberlain to the Pope, who acted as interpreter, has fallen into disgrace, but full particulars of the scandal are not divulged, since Mgr. Gerlach places the blame upon the Bavarian envoy, who is suspected of tampering with the interview. The Osservatore Romano deplores in strong terms the fact that the meaning of the Pope's words, solely inspired by his holiness’ desire for peace, were dis- torted and misinterpreted. The Osservatore Romano emphasizes the fact that the Pope granted an audi- ence, not an interview. through the medium of an interpreter. since Von Wiegand knows only English and Ger- man, neither of which the Pope speaks. He merely alluded to peace in the fol- lowing terms, says the editorial: “He expressed his repeated most ard- ent wish for peace, and referred to his daily prayers for peace, and, further, that when the neutral Powers, including the United States of America, which une doubtedly occupies the first place among them, considered the moment opportune to initiate action toward peace, he would most gladly use his entire influence to- ward such a noble cause."’ The Osservatore Romano insists the Pope said nothing more than this. and hence blames Von Wiegand for altering the Pope's words. It points out that Von Wiegand expressed explicitely the doubt whether he understood what the Popa said, thus impairing the fidelity of what he reported. The editorial concludes by deploring the lack cf respect for the Pope's magnanimous intentions shown by the unfaithful interpretation of his worde. Pope's Words Have Thinking, Mar. O'Kelly Saya. LONDON, April 19.—Mer. Lionel O'Kelly, Vicar-General of the diocese of Salford and Canon of St. Anne’s. Manchester, is the first Roman Catholi- dignitary in England to discuss publicly the Post-Dispatch’s interview with the Pope Benedict XV obtained by Karl H. von Wiegand, the Post-Dispatch corre- spondent. Ty an article in Rome, the most authoritative English Catholic weekly, Mgr. O'Kelly says “There is every reason to belleve the substance of the message is accurate, and the substance of it is that Benedict XV makes a warm appeal to the peo- ple of the greatest neutral nation of the world, to use all their efforts in favor of peace. “The politicians &re concerning them- selves with the national advantages and disadvantages of war. The Holy Father thinks only of the awful shame, the hor- ror and the sufferings that it has brought upon so many millions and the rarm it is doing to Christian civiliza- tion. ‘“‘People are confusing peace with the — conditions of peace, but Pope Benedict said not a word of conditions. ‘But Instead of being a failure, this latest utterance of the Pope has been a phenomenal, wonderful, unprecedented success. A few earnest words spoken to a newspaper correspondent resounded throughout the nations, high above tha roar of battle: and even when the com- ments have seemed unfavorable, they have set the people to thinking about peace.”’ set People te in a Pope Reported to Have Asked for Interpreter's Resignation.

Y¥., April 19.—Selection Is Suing Roosevelt for $50,000 His Complaint Against the ormer sident Is a 3-Page of a jury sae today in the trial of the 650,000 libel suit brought by William Barnes, New York Republican ‘‘boss,"”’ against Theodore Roosevelt. A great crowd gathered at the courthouse even before the first of the special panel of %% talesmen appeared. There were seats for hardly 50 spectators. A crowd out- side, trying to get in, was kept in lines by policemen. As soon as Justice William 8. Andrews had ascended the bench each side was informed it would be allowed six per- emptory challenges. The talesmen were questioned by William L. Barnum, a Byracuse attorney, for Barnes. He wanted to know whether the ‘‘polit- ical prominence heretofore’ of either one or both of the principals would af- fect the decision of pessible jurors. He also asked talesmen whether they be- lieved a man in politics might be libelled just as any other citizen. Colonel Listens Intently. The fact that the defendant has been President of the United States and Gov- ernor of New York has also been dwelt upon'by the attorney in framing his in- quiries. Document.

It was planned to have him examine 12 men and then allow counsel for Barnes to question them. As the examination proceededN Barnum delved deeper into political and legislative matters, asking the talesmen Petia - BARNES, JR. "XC KC A T_T invisible government which is re- sponsible for the maladministration and, corruption in the public offices of the | State.” ° Barnes, in his complaint, declares that these statements are without warrant in fact or circumstance; that they consti- tute a libel on his character because they are false and untrue and were ut- tered and published maliciously and with intent to injure him as a citizen; that, furthermore, they were published for the purpose of defaming and injuring his legitimate political influence in the per- formance of his duty as a citizen. The legal interests of Barnes are being looked after by William M. Ivins, who ia regarded as one of the most expert trial lawyers in the United States, and also one of vast experience in Republican politica and In public matters generally. It will fall to Ivins to cross-examine Roosevelt. to what extent they had been interested in such affairs. Once during the ques- tioning Barnes, who had changed his Seat, swung around in his chair and gazed at Col. Roosevelt for fully two minytes and then swung back to the table again and wrote a memorandum on a pad of paper. The Colonel seemed to »be intensely interested in the answers given by the talesmen. He leaned far. across the table in front of him so as to catch every word that was said. Hat Pulled Over Byes. Col. Roosevelt arrived at the court- house before his opponent. He wore a large black felt hat, pulled down over his eyes. The Colonel stopped in the corridor outside the courtreom and greeted several! friends. Then he went in and took a seat at the table reserved for his counsel. Barnes took a seat at his coungel's table. Col. Roosevelt was sitting with his back toward his op- ponent, Barnes’ complaint against Roosevelt is contained in a three-page document; Roosevelt's anawer is a cumbersome tume of 113 pages. Barnes confines hig demand for legal vindication and finan- cial compensation to a specific reproduc- tion of words uttered by Roovevelt dur- fig the primary campaign preceding the State election last year. Roosevelt's answer offers ‘n justifica- tion of the language complained of by Barnes’ general statements regarding politica] and official conditions ranging over a number of years, and golng back ae far ae 1886. The libel which Barnes says Col. Iicosevelt utteréd was specific and di- rect, and based solely upon the verbal! deciarations of the former President of the United States.

The first of these statements was made by Roosevelt, according to the ecuntention of Barnes, on July 22, last. Fioosevelt is alleged to have said: "In New York State we see at its worst the development of the system of ‘upartisan boss rule. The outcome of this system is necessarily that invisibie gevernment which the Progressive partv was in lorge part founded to oppose.

LONDON, April 19.—Baron Herbert de Reuter, managing director of Reuter’s Telegram Co., was found dead yester- day at his home near Reigate, Surrey. A discharged revolver was found near his body and the authorities declare there is little doubt he killed himself. Baron de Reuter was prostrated by the death of his wife last Thursday. Her body is still in the home awaiting inter- ment. Their only son is in the army. Baron August E. Julius Clemens Her- bert de Reuter was born March 10, 1862. He was educated at Harrow,Oxford and Paris. His wife, whom he married in 1876, was a daughter of the late Robert Campbell of Buscot Park, Berkshire. Besides the son and heir, who is in the British army, they are survived by a daughter, who is the wife of J. W. E. J. Douglas. Baron de Reuter succeeded to the title upon the death in 1899 of his father, who was created a Baron of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1871. Royal license for permission to use the title in En- giand was granted in 1891 by Queen Victoria. The first Baron was the founder of Reuter’s Telegram Co., now one of the leading news gathering organizations of the world.

This Inquiry probably will be started after the Crone case is concluded. Circuit Attorney Harvey said he had received suggestions in two other cases, tut would not discuss them until the data is presented to him. A man, who would not give his name, appeared at the Recorder’s office with four deeds of trust he said his sister had obtained from Crone. Three of them, as well as a $4000 Crone deed pre- sented by an unidentified woman, ap- peared to be satisfactory. One deed, which the man thought was irregular, was made April 12, 1910, to secure a $1500 loan on Newby street property, made by Stephen and Anna Kaiman to James P. Wilton, a clerk in Crone’s office, wita EF. W. Herbkesmann, another Crona clerk, as trustee. It was marked re- leased by Crone April 15, 1913.

Of this amount the Frederick company was to | receive $58.09, leaving a balance of $500 due to Mrs. Nash for both months. The case is set for trial April 2. WOMAN INQUIRES INTO TRUST DEED Mrs. Frances A. Bartete of 2114 Mal- lickrodt street appeared at the Record- er’s office today with her attorney, Jo- seph Furling of 4201 Finney avenue, and investigated a deed of trust for $1000 which she holds on property in West Harney Heights. She stated she pur- chased the deed from the North Side Realty Co., conducted by Francis A. Schaeffer of 2266 Alice avenue, and that the company represented the lot con- tained improvements, whereas, she says, she has found it is vacant. Mrs. Bartels, in telling how she hap- pened to invest with the North Side Realty Co., said she visited the com- pany's office at 2029 East Grand avenue one day with a check for $1000 which she wanted to get cashed. She said Ralpb E. Brown, a notary in the company’s of- fices, told her the company had a fine $1000 deed of trust which would be an ideal investment for her. She purchased the deed. In investigating today she found the deed was recorded June 23, 1911, on lot 87 and the west half of lot 8 in city block 6562, fronting on Emerson avenue, near Bircher avenue, in West Harney Heights, a total] frontage of 87% feet. The lots are assessed at $5 a foot and Furling declared they were selling for $19 a foot when Mrs. Bartels bought the deed of trust, giving $1000 on a lot that could have been purchased for $375. Furling said he would predent the case to the proper authorities. Schaeffer ap- pears as the third party in the deed of trust and Henry Zanitach is named as trustee.

LOUIS | POST-DISPATCH an cH Te PASSED Te THAN CUT WAGES Elbert H. Gary Explains Action of Last January at Stock- holders’ Meeting. NEW YORK, April 19.—Directors of the United States Steel corporation, ls became known today, in voting at their last quarterly meeting in January te pass the dividend on the common stock, did so in the face of opposition on the part of many stockholders who thought the dividend should be declared, even if the corporation had to reduce wages to its great army of employes to obtain the money for the dividend. . Filbert H. Gary, chairman of the cer- poration, divulged this situation at the annual stockholders’ meeting in Hobo- ken today. In a formal] statement Judge Gary said: ‘‘We were sorry to hear that so many stockholders insisted that common stock dividends be paid, even if we had to re- duce wages to do it. , “The management was sorry to be obliged tu pass the dividend on the com- mon stock. We had been hoping and had expected to continue the payment of the dividend without interruption, but conditions were such that it was impos- sible. We were confronted with the choice of passing the dividend or reduc- ing wages. In view of the present high cost of living we believed that the men were entitled to the wages they were re- ceiving which we think are not ‘too much. “We thought the stockholders- would approve of our decision to continue the payment of wages.” Judge Gary's statement referred to the dividend on the common stock for the last quarter of 1914. No action has been taken on the dividend for the first quar- ter of 1915. Directors of the company will meet April 27 to determine whetfitr a dividend shall be doclared. The com- mon stock sold today at 60%, the highest price since the Stock Exchange Was closed last July. The announced plan of reducing the directorate from 24 to 18 members was approved at the stockholders’ meeting today. The reduction is in line with the attitude taken by many large cor- porations to reduce the number of diren- tors and avoid interlocking directorates. Judge Gary has resigned from vuriéus directorates since this policy was iidh- gurated and today is a director only in the steel corporation. : Fifteen Firemen Overcome, PORTLAND, Ore., April 19.—Fif- soon firemen were overcome by gmoke a fire which destro ed the efall Paper Co.'s six-story ing at inne night.

BOARD WILL TRY TO END BIG STRIKE Chicago's Labor Trouble Viewed by Gov. Dunne as Blocking Period of Prosperity. CHICAGO, Aoril 19.—Efforts to end the strike of 16,000 carpenters began here today wiih the meeting of the State Board of Arbitration upon the re- quest of Gov. Dunne. “I view the strike as a calamity,’’ Go\. Dunne said after a conference with members of the board. “Chicago and the State of Illinois are just getting a period of prosperity nicely under way when a strike is pushed in the way.” The carpenters, it was said, are will- ing to start arbitration at once, but the contracters look upen this proposal with disfavor as they maintain they had at- tempted to arbitrate the question of wages for the last six months and that the strike had been declared by union leaders without submitting the employ- ers’ final offer to the workmen. The wage proposal which union of- ficials declined was an increase of 2% cents an hour for thé last 18 months of a three-year agreement. The men are striking for an increase of 5 cents an here today had been set at rest by the EVIDENCE OF JAPANESE NAVAL | BASE AT TURTLE BAY LACKING Commander of American Cruiser Says Only Show of Activity to Salvage Work on Cruiser Astma.

Commander Irwin had been sent to Turtle Bay by the Navy Department to investigate newspaper reports that the Japanese had established a permanent naval base there, Japan has ordered al} her warships in Pacific waters near the American coasts, except those salvaging the Asama, to return to their home stations. Advices to that effect were received today from Tokio at the Japanese embassy.

The fault is that both parties had the wrong and erroneous idea of entertainment—to fill their guests full of intoxicating liquors. ‘‘Witnesses have testified that in pub- lic the husband and wife treated eacn other with every mark of respect and kindness. There was no other wrong but drink, in which they both indulged. Mrs. Lewis failed to prove that her hus- band was habitually drunk. The hus- band failed to prove that his wife was drunk in publie. Drinkers Sometimes Unconventional. “The Court has not paid much atten- tion to the so-called bedroom scene, be- cause Mrs. Lewis should have brought additional proof. That Mr. Lewis per- mitted other men to help disrobe his wife at a St. Louis hotel might have been an indignity, but the evidence shows that all parties present were friends and were drinking together.”’ Explaining this last statement after- ward to a Post-Dispatch reporter, Judge Wurdeman said that persons who drink together sometimes become unconven- tional and allow many things that are not permitted by nondrinkers. He added. that, if the drinking escapade had been eliminated from the Lewis case there woudn’t have been much else to con- sider. The incident alluded to was when Mrs. Lewis collapsed at a downtown hotel and her husband and two men compan- ions took her to.a room and removed part of her clothing in an effort to re- vive her. Charges of Drunkenneans. Mrs. Lewis, in her original petition. accused her husband of habitual drunk- enness. He replied in a long cross bill, in which he accused his wife of being drunk in public, starting a craps game on the steamboat Alton, being extrava- gant and wasteful, giving a scarf pin to another man, giving a bottlé of whis- ky to an actor, entertaining a.man mu- sic teacher at her home without her husband’s knowledgé or consent, and being unduly attentive to Robert Mook, a civil engineer and former boarder at the Lewis home.

They don't object, however, when Mr. Gaffney converses with his friends in his native tongue.

That homeric swat by Hank Severeid, we refer to the sleep- -producing circuit swipe which Hank slipped over on the White Sox in the waning moments of Saturday's game, stands out today as a $3000 punch.

The office of club secretary, at present, is plainly not open to any members of the George Washington fraternity. Carrying Dead Weight. NE of the toughest little features of the 8t. Louls Federal League's fight is the fact that it must carry so much dead timber, men under contracts but who are unable to lend the club as- sistance.

The announcemént was made yesterday by President. Rickart that thete would be no charge for score cards, in future. : Other parks throughout the major league circuits require patrons to pay for information concerning the players, the batting order, posi- tions, etc., in addition to the price of admission. The National Teague club here attempted the innovation, one year, but it was so poorly handled and was so full of mistakes that the fans became disgusted. President Rickart proposes to show that a free score card can be edited just as correctly as one for which a charge is made. LO LO OL thing hitherto lacking in all three ma- jor league clubs. This feature alone will give the Feds an advantage over Organized Baseball At present the Kansas City club seems to be the weak factor in the attendance calculations of the Feds. If the Terriers can hold up their heads among the first division fight- ers this city will not be the dead one it proved last season. none knows better than the local boss of the independents that failure by the St. Louis club. will mean total neglect by the fans.

Lajoie is still perhaps the most widely estéemed star in any league, in spite of his waning prowess, and because of the memory of the truly great player and hitter he once was. In one respect Connie Mack made no mistake in signing Larry, since he is still a valued card at the “gate.” And—you never can tell—he may come back, as the Philadelphia writers say he has. In that case, with Frank Baker relenting and return- ing to third base, the limping old Mack machine might start a genu- ine pennant spurt, Comebacks late in life have hap- pened, Adrian C.

REDS SWIPE SEVE BASES; HUG INSIS ON GONZALES DEAL However, Herzog Shows No Inclination to Pass Over Catcher—Doak Beaten. CINCINNATI, April 19.—President Schuyler Britton and Manager Miller Huggins of the Cardinals will today meet President Herrmann and Man- ager Herzog of the Reds and make another attempt to straighten out the Wingo deal. Britton and Huggins are after a catcher, who they need wine f at present, with Snyder on the 1 shelf.

Glenn’s Shoes Stolen. Glenn's salary whip was in anything but good form yesterday, as seven stolen bases for the !Reds will attest. Three of these pilfers went to Moll- witz, the big first sacker, while Groh, Killefer, Herzog and Clarke each con- tributed one. The Reds yesterday *won the first clash of the series from the Cardinals, 6—2. Bill Doak, last season the pre- fier pitcher of the National League, was belted for 10 safeties. Pete Schneid- er held the Cardinals to seven blows and was practically invincible with men on bases after the first. Huggins’ men started with a lead, putting over two counts in the opener.

There was nothing whatever about except perhaps, smiled and snyjled. him to suggest the fighting man, long arms and large sirong hands. Long before Willard appeared Arthur Pelky came out of Chicopee, Mass., and fought é in a so-called white hope tournament at-Tom O'Rourke's §: Pelky fought well, and it was the general opinion e of the spectators that he should have been declared fi Al Palzer, who was under O‘Rourke’s manage-—y 33. however, was wellfo remembered when he came back to New York for morel@ fights after cleaning up well in New °England, where in five rounds. powerful fellow, reminding one somewhat of Jim Jeffries. Billy Heckley persuaded someone or other that Willard would be a good trial horse for Pelky, and the two were matched to fight in Madison July, 1912, Willard was destined to knock out Jack Johnson and win the champion- Club. winner. ment, received that honor. Pelky, he beat Soldier Karns Square Garden. This was in ship of the world. Willard Alone Confident. Probably nine-tenths of the specta- tors that night were sure Pelky would whip the lanky, smiling cowpuncher and send him West again. The only one who seemed to think differently was Willard. Quietly Jess came into the ring as unconcerned as a postman about -to deliver a letter. He sat In a corner and looked all around over the crowd to find his friends and smiled and siniled. When he stood up and stripped for action there was a sensation of sur- prise. He surely stripped well. Years of. work and of riding horses on the range had developed him from head to heel. He was entirely symmetrical—not overdeveloped in any part. He was loose jointed and easy in movement. He was clean-cut, vet showed little muscle any- where. His arms were notably long and slender, but he had good forearms and big wrists and hands. Even as he came up to meet Pelky big Jess turned to smile at the crowd. Apparently he thought he was just about to amuse them. Pelky § lean- jawed and grim, broad-beamed and bur- lv. started the fignt in his usual rush- ing style. And to the astonishment of the crowd Jess just jaboved him away and laughed. Jess wasn’t worried in the least. He might have been a clown in a circus. He held Pelky off with ease. and, turning, sent his smile wand-. ering over the house. ‘Through the 10 rounds he outclassed Pelky entirely, landed many jabs and a few hard rights and came through an easy winner. As a blackened glove contest it would have been great. That fight gave Willard a local repu- tation, but not a very big one. ‘Ha has a good jab,”’ people said, “but he’s pat : sane BLtHPI4 ie Ay + a s SS April 6, 1840: A company of Santa Fe traders with 40 wagons ‘and a quantity of gold and silver, arrived lately at Independence, Missouri, on a return trip. 1840—1915 Seventy five years ago when caravans of traders were a com- mon sight, the foundation of the Lemp business was laid—the oldest brewery e « a: 2% Pe RGD ae ae the eiixir of lite. in America with a national patronage.

Luther McCarty came to town, fresh from knocking out Carl Morris in the Middle West. Me- Carty was touted as a coming heavy weight champion, a challenger for John- son, best by far of the “white hopes.’’ McCarty Held. Willard “Cheap.” Apparently he was the best. He sure- ly thought s0 himself. He took Willard on at the first suggestion, merely re- markin in Bob Fitzsimmon’s words that “the bigger they are the harder thev fall.’ That fight was in the Garden, the Pelky fight Willard had received $150, a quarter of which went to his manager. Now, fighting McCarty, he was promised 6 per cent of the gate. McCarty, as the conqueror of Morris —, the real ‘‘card,”’ drew down 35 per cen The fight with McCarty put Willard ight up among the best of the ‘white 10opes, and sent McCarty out West again.

From that time on MeCarty tried desperately: but Willard jabbed and uppercut him until he was forced to finish the bout diving into clinch- es and holding desperately to save himself. It went the 10 rounds. At the end Willard was smiling and unmarked: McCarty was bruised, cut, bleeding and undoubtedly glad that it was all over. In that fight Willard silenced the too.

The Rev. Father Joseph F. Lubeley of the Church of the Holy Trinity, against whose appearance at the meet- ing a protest was said to have been made by the British Counsul, spoke briefly. . He said that, while persons in the au- dience might have read reports that he was to be forbidden to speak by the British censor, he wished to say he was not under control of British censorship and that it was the orders of his phy- siclan and not the censor which made him ask to be excused from making an extended address. Arma Shipment Protest. The Rev. Fred Bente protested against com Ee of arms to the English. He %id Americans were praising Willard key announcing that he would not fight another negro and wondered how Amer- icans could praise the allies who were gathering forces of negroes to fight the Germans. Charles J. Dolan, once a member of the British Parliament, said that when he was a member of the House of Com- mons, nine years ago, he was contin- ually hearing of British preparation for war with Germany and was told by many statesmen thai such a war was inevitable. He denounced England for stopping shipments of foodstuffs to Germany. while insisting upon its right to get arms from America. He said that Ger- many asked for bread and was being given bullets. Referri to Secretary Bryan's stand for prohibition, he said more Germans and Austrians were be- ing killed every day by American bu!- lets than drink would injure in a score of years. 19 POUNDS FOR $1.

There is no law forbidding or either modifying some of the mystery pictures which can be seen not only in the “nickelodeons” but in the high-class mo- tion picture houses as well.

Somebody seems to be guilty of a gross dere- liction of duty towards the old water tower stand- ing on East Grand avenue and Twentieth street at the northern terminus of the Grand avenue line. This grand old Corinthian column is one of the noblest specimens of architecture to be found the world over. The more one looks at it the more one enthuses over its beautiful and classical pro- portions. The city of St. Louis surely ought to be proud of it. It has for practical purposes been thrown into the discard, but nevertheless the beauty of its proportions ought to preserve it from disgrace end oblivion. It has been permitted to fall into a sad state of decay. It stands there in silent majesty besmeared over with the accumulated dust and dirt of years, the paint has scaled off in blotches, and alto- gether it presents the appearance of a venerable but none the less a sadly neglected ruin. Won't scmebody around the city hall get out a bucket of paint and relieve the situation? We need a city beautiful in North St. Louis as well as around the Union Station. WM. A.

ARMOUR ON UNIONISM. | Expressing in testimony before the Industrial Relations Commission his hostility to labor unions, J. Ogden Armour of the Beef Trust, de- clared that unionism is not necessary to the wel- fare of employes. Admitting that he would not tolerate organizers around his plant, he summed up his case in the following: As soon as a union has a little power, begins its excesses. Mr. Armour is only franker than some other trust magnates who have given their views to the commission. They piously professed to have no objection to unions though they refuse to permit them in their own establishments. Organized labor has been guilty of excesses and has been severely penalized for them, but they do not equal the excesses of which organized capital has been guilty with only inadequate penalties to date. “Jungle” descriptions fully confirmed by official inquiry showed a few years ago that the plants of Mr. Armour and his fel- low members of the Beef Trust, where unionism was put down with a ruthless hand, were the plants where labor was compelled to submit to the most degrading conditions known in the United States. Untonism has its weak points like other human institutions, but it also has enormous achieve- ments to its credit. It seems to supply a prac tical factor in the relations of capital and labor for which minimum wage laws, welfare work, profit-sharing schemes and other social move- ments, admirable as they are in their way, sup- ply no substitute. In addition to forcing improvements in the mere matter of employment conditions and wages, ii has cultivated self-respect in workers, carried on instructive campaigns of education before the whole people, fought with much success for the principles of social justice, contributed to broad- ened views and aésisted in making this a better country to live in. Mr. Armour’s narrow intolerance is about what might be expected of a Beef Trust magnate. He represents a rapidly diminishing body of public opinion. it ’ = = ill ii se DR. BARTHOLDT AND ‘‘BRITISH GOLD.’’ Officials at Washington and the press that is dominated by British gold are avoiding anything that would be embarrassing to Great Britain and doing all they can to aid in crush- ing Germany.—Dr. Barthoiat. If the amiable doctor’s political agitation has already reached the “British gold” stage, it can hardly be fulfilling his expectations in vote-mak- ing. DOUBLE-JITNEY CARS. It is said that many St. Louls jitneys will increase their fare to 10 cents on Tuesday. Al- most any motor car owner knows that 5 cents cannot be permanently remunerative over the distances that have to be covered in a city of this size. If it yields the driver a living wage and pays for gasoline in the present it makes little provision for future tire troubles, engine repairs and other depreciation-account items. But a lucrative field ought to remain for the “jitneys” even at a rate that brings them Icss directly into competition with the traction com- pany.’ It is a field in which the taxicabs might have reaped a rich harvest but for a stupid rapacity that preferred to milk the public rather than to serve it. In thousands of ways automobile common car- riers operating at reasonable rates can make themselves a convenience to St. Louisans ‘= = —~— -— THE JAPS IN TURTLE BAY. In these days of military surprises, Admiral Howard took only reasonable precautions in dis- patching the Cruiser New Orleans to Turtle Bay to see exactly what those busy Japs are doing in Mexican waters. It is gratifying to hear now that they are engaged in the necessary work of saving a stranded cruiser. But it is not the first time that Lower Cali- fornia has been the subject of diplomatic inter- change between Uncle Sam and the Mikado. As recently as 1912 a Japanese syndicate attempted to purchase 4,000,000 acres along the coast of Southern California about Magdalena Bay. This might have been utilized by Japan as a valuable naval basis. A resolution, introduced by Senator Lodge in August of that year, stated that the United States “could not see without grave con- corn” the acquisition of any harbor in the Amer- ican continent by a foreign corporation “which has such a relation to another Government not American as to give that country practical con- trol or control for military or naval purposes.” The project was abandoned. Mexico is in no position to defend -herself against Japanese encroachment. But the Monroe Doctrine, in spirit at least, covers the Pacific as well as the Atlantic seaboard. That was what Senator Lodge’s resolution meant. = = — a ae THE DEVOLUTION OF WAR. A few of our readers object to the recent edi- torials condemning the massacre of men and women on passenger ships. They defend tke action of Germany in torpedoing passenger ships without allowing time for the escape of noncom- batants on the ground that Great Britain is try- mous in its view that the German submarine war on passenger vessels is murder and nothing else. The Sunday Post-Dispatch Mirror of Public Opin- ion page should open the eyes of apologists for this devolution of war to the verdict that is being passed upon it. And if it shall go on, where. must it end? To what horrors of retaliation must it lead? Every noncombatant—man, woman or child—within reach of the several armies will be a soldier's prey. Extermination, on both sides, will be the aim—not indirect, through threats of starvation, but by bullet and bayonet. PIOUS BRETHREN WHO SKIN. “I’m not a hypocrite,” protests the latest promi- nent citizen suspected of forging a deed,” nor am I one of these church people that skin their friends.”’ Which we hope is true, because a pious fraud is the last that regular people can sympathize with. Without homilizing, let’s have one more good look at the familiar figure, now that he is recalled to the public imagination. Observe the proud deacon in the amen corner, the salt of the earth in a pew by himself, his very boots squeaking pomposity as he rises “big with hymn” to lift his solemn basso to heaven; an example of right- eousness for men to behold—and shun. Always obtrusive, important, a leader, frequently super- intendent of the little ones at Sabbath school, he pays the full tribute of hypocrisy which vice yields to virtue, and, when found out, is the worst adver- tisement, the cruelest embarrassment, a church can know. Yet in reality the black sheep only contrasts the whiteness of the rest of the fold, and Judas emphasizes the virtue of his brother disciples. Contrasted, indeed, with every other species of fraud, thief and swindler, the cheat who cloaks himself with religion suffers; and it is he at last who leaves forthright crooks something to be thankful for in their own makeups. What just self-esteem Bill Sikes might have felt in con- templating Pecksniff and Uriah Heep. How much we find to admire in J. Rufus Wallingford or the check-suited manipulator of pea and walnut shells at the country circus, after a look at smug and trusted Deacon Do-good, who, between Ged-bless- yous, slyly filched from the weaklings, the wid- ows and the orphans. a & rw A MISTAKEN CONVICT MAYOR. “This is what you get for being a politician,” remarked Mayor D. M. Roberts to St. Louis re- porters, when he reached here en route to Leav- enworth to begin his six-year sentence for elec- tion fraud. The Mayor is mistaken. What he got he got for being a crook. American politics is coming more and more to exemplify honesty and the square deal. : THIERFELDER MAY NOT BE BLUFFING. The expressed purpose of the Prinz Eitel to put to sea again was taken seriously for a while and proved to be a bluff. The preparations of the Kronprinz Wilhelm for another sea raid are looked upon as a bluff and may really be the pre- liminaries to further deéds of daring. For the Wilhelm has the advantage over the Eitel of about five knots an hour in speed. The story in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of the Wil- helm’s 255-day voyage, during which she sank 15 vessels valued at $14,000,000, shows what a great asset her speed was to her. Repeatedly she ran away from heavier-armed war vessels for which she would be no match and just as often overtook merchant vessels which would have escaped a less fleet commerce destroyer. By starting down the coast within the three-mile limit she could show a clean pair of heels to any cruiser the allies have so far stationed outside of Hampton Roads to watch her. The war is making it plain that speed may be a3 important to naval ships as the size of their kuns.

But Germany has evened things up by its submarine war on food ships of its enemy. And its submarines have shown such efficiency on these lines that the looker-on might well con- clude that the Kaiser could afford to reply upon that -efficiency, directed solely against Britain’s feod supply. To strike at passenger vessels and kill the noncombatants on such vessels in nowise tends to cripple Britain's food supply. To us here in America it looks like an unnecessary, unwarranted and suicidal devolution of what is sometimes called thé art of war. It used to be that all the inhabitants of a coun- try were liable to slaughter by an enemy, as well as the actual fighting men. War evolved out of that red chaos and certain international laws or rules gained common assent, by which the lives of noncombatants were made reasonably safe. Ruin and starvation continued to be incidental, because largely impossible of prevention. But, in modern wars, up to this time, the non- combatant has never been pursued and murdered jin cold blood.

Howevet, while the high rubber ‘duties in the 1909 revision and the ownership of stock in rub- ber factories by the Aldrich family were savage- ly criticised, efforts to trace personal profit to Mr. Aldrich from sch€dules he dictated were r ut generally successful.

Whom “Before we decide whom we will have I should ifke you to make up your mind if you will grace the oocasion by your présence?’ Jane replied sarcastically, a tone she often used to me at this time (I now know to hide a deeper feeling). “Certainly. I shall be home when- ever you decide to entertain formally— that is, if you let me know in time to make my arrangements and there are no accidents.” She made no reply, but began to name the guests she would invite. I made no remark until she mentioned a woman of whom I very much disap- proved and whom Jane knew I dis- liked. ‘T certainty shall invite her,” she told me. “I have accepted her invitations several times. She is all right; just hes a good time. You can’t blame her for that. If it weren’t for John she doesn't do a thing I wouldn’t do!” Jane and the Champagne THOUGHT this mere braggadocioc and paid no atterition, although sev- eral times of late I had been an- noyed by what Jane did. ‘What would you like me to dof’ Jane asked on one Occasion When I had objected to her going with a gay party of some of whose members I disap- proved. “@tay at home and twiddle my thumbs ds I wded tof That time is over for me There are plenty of peo- ple that enjoy my society, even if you don’t.”’ Jane geve her dinner and f wae a great success.

The Two Viewpoints NOW kEnew that in spite of her cold- | ness—a coldness fostered by my actions—that Jane at this time still loved me dearly. And had I accorded her one tithe of the attention, the ex- pression of love that I felt and that was her due, I showld never have writ- ten this story—the story ef a man’s mis- takes. I forgot that ence married isn’t always caged, and put a sublifme faith in the comfortable masouline theory of woman's love and her abnormal power to forgive any kind of i! treatment or neglect that a man gives her, and still go on loving him. Unfortunately for me, my wife did not belong to the class to which this treatment could be applied. And I be- Neve that the principal reason that so many women stand for neglect, and many other things, from men, is be- cause of their children. Jane would have endured anything, stood for any- thing, for John’s sake, but not for mine. As I look back, the great mistakes of my early married life seem now to have been due to the fact that I con- stantly thought of myself, saw things only frem my own viewpoint and failed to realize that Jane was adapting her- self to a new and untried existence, and that, naturally, everything was strange to her. When—long after—I came to think from her standpoint in matters conoerning her, everything was different. Looking at things from a viewpoint of your own, and adapting yourself to the viewpoint of another person, are totally different matters. (To Be Continued.) SOAP IS BAD FOR THE HAIR Soap should be used very sparing- ly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and | prepared shampoos contain too mitch alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or any- thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and s¢ealp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abund- ance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply emery member of the family fo/\months.—ADV., » Ot Pet ce | | | for a whale, when all at once he saw a The Land 4 0’ Nod By Mrs. F. Wm day a ship was sailing | LJ on a sea in a distant country, the man on the outloek was looking large object and called to his captain, | ‘‘There she blows!’’ The eaptain ran up the ladder and looked through his spygiass. ‘““That isn’t a whale,” but as we have not seen land in a long time suppose we land and look about a bit. The sailors lowered the boat, and the csptain and his crew of six men g0* into it. ‘““Heave away, lads,” said the captain, and soon they were alongside the island. “Guess no one saw us land,’’ said the captain, as they walked up the landing. “I wonder what the name of this place is, anyway,” he said. Just then he saw a sign on a build- ing which read: “Land o’ Not” “Land o’ Nod,” said the captain. that is a queer name for an island. Hello! there is a man,” he said, point- ing to a man sitting.in the deorway of a building. The captain and his six saflors went ur to him, his head was nodding about as though he were asleep, and he did not notice them. “Howd'y’, mate!” said the captain. The man opened his eyes and looked at them, but he closed his eyes and be- gan nodding again. “He’s a sleepy one,’’ sald the captain. “Let's move on.” HEN they went into a store, but the storekeeper steod by the counter nodding, and when the captain asked for a pound of “tobaccy”’ he only opened his eyes as the first man had done and then closed them again. ‘Can't ye wake up, mate?” asked the captain. But the only answer he re- Celved was a nod. The captain and his six sailors went out and walked along the street. They Saw a dog aitting in a doorway nod- ding. When the captain spoke te him he Zave one bark and then closed his eyes and began to nod again. “This is the noddiest place I ever saw,” the captain remarked to the six sailors. ‘‘Let us try the tavern.” But when they went in there sat the landlerd nodding, and the boy stood by the door, nodding, too. The captain and his six sailors steed looking at them. “Wake up, ye nod- ding land lubbers,” said the captain, pounding the table with his big hand. “We want something to eat.”’ The only reply he could get from eith- er was a nod. “We'll help ourselves,” said the Cap- tain, “if they will not get our dinner. Come along, lads.’’ The six sailors followed their Captain into the kitchen. There stood the pret- ty maid nodding over her dishpan and the landlord’s wife in the act of stir- ring the soup was nodding, too. One of the sailors stepped up to the pretty maid and kissed her on her rosy cheek, but she only nodded. “What ho, madam,” said the Captain; “good madam, pray give us our din- ner.”’ The good woman only nodded in re- ply, and one of the sailors grew bold and tasted the soup. He winked at the Captain and smacked his lips. The Captain and the five sailors understood that it was good, and so they tested and tasted until it Was all gone. But they had stayed in the Land of Nod too long, for just as they reached the yard of the tavern they began to feel queer. The stable boy sat in the doorway nodding and a cow stood nodding by the fence. HE Captain looked at the six sail- ors; they were nodding as they sat in a row on the grass.

Walker. and his six sailors opened their eyes and steod straight up. Soon a crowd of the town’s people gathered around them. ‘The strangers got fhey?”’ said one “They are a queer looking lot,” said another, laughing. When the clock struck 18 at noon the next day the Captain and the six sail- crs stopped nodding and opened their eyes and saw in front of therm all the people laughing at them. “What are you laughing at, yet nod- ding lot of land?tubbers?”’ said the Cap- tain. “You have been doing caught, didn’t considerable the theory that the world owed him ally had little trouble in obtaining &@ po- ee le All LL. iL ALLL DDL LLL oa Knocking His NCE upon a time there was ‘A man who had «a stioteniin! against the world.

He usu- sition, but he did not hold it. 1té, therefore, blamed the world in general and the “capital” class in particular. One day a kind friend came along and lent an ear to John Doe's protest. He thought it a pity that a man like this should be so unfortunate, and, as a good friend often does, he inter- ceded in his behalf and obtained em- ployment for him with another friend. John Doe went to work. After he had been there a few days he got into the spirit of his work, learned something about it, and became acquainted with his fellow laborers, and had many chats with them. But in all these discus- sions it was plainly evident that John Doe’s grievance had permeated the at- mosphere. This was the matter and that was the matter. Something was always wrong with something and evérything was not right. Not Only did he air his ocriti- cisms of the workmen in his home, but also in his “lodge meetings” he would tell what a bad firm he was working for. One day by chance the friend’s friend who had hired him overheard some of his wailings. He called him to task something like this: “Here’s your pay énvelope and you nodding yourself in the last 12 hours,”’ | was the answer. “We have always wondered how we looked, and tow we know it is a funny sight.” The Captain saw that it was of no use to get angry, 80 he asked: ‘What sort of a country is this?’ “This is the Land o’ Nod7’ they told him. ‘“Dvery 25 years at the stroke of 12 at noon everybody begins to nod, and we keep nodding until the stroke of 12 at midnight. You and yor friends were caught in the spell just before midnight and had to nod out your 12 hours, you see.”’ The Captain and his six safiors got into their boat and rowed away, but every little while they wottld stop row- ing and rub their eyes. —~ (Copyright by the.
