Schaeffer Ac- cused of Pledging Deed Given to Them to Be Released. BOTH HAVE DISAPPEARED, Other Deals of Their North Side Real Estate Co. Are Being Investigated. Indictments charging embezzziement have been voted by the grand jury against Francis A. Schaeffer and his son, Chester C. Schaeffer, who formerly transacted business as The North Side Real Estate Co., at 2029 East Grand ave- nue. The voting of the indictments made known today after detectives had reported to him that they could not find the Schaffers and had reason to believe they had left the city. It is charged in the indictment that the Schaeffers embezzled a $6500 deed of trust from Henry Wehde of Brevator, Mo. The deed was on property at 4218 Gratiot street. Wehde told the Circuit Attorney that on May 22 last he turned the deed over to the Schaeffers with ingtructions that they take it to the Recorder's office and have it released. as the maker of the deed had surrendered the Gratiot street proprty to him under the mortgage. It is charged that Aug. 18 last Chester C. Schaeffer, with the knowledge of hia father, pledged the deed with B. H. Stoltman, a real estate dealer at 4003 Chouteau avenue, as security for a $5000 note. Other transactions in which the Schaeffers took part are still under in- vestigation by the grand jury. The indictment of the Schaeffers grew out of the general investigation which followed the exposure of fraudulent real estate deals by A. H. Frederick, who is now serving a penitentiary term. It was the fifth case investigated within five weeks in which indictments were returned.

Aker, Whose Term Expires. -TOWNSMEN OPPOSED IT Friends Had Laid Emphasis on Confessed Smithville Forger’s Services to Democratic Party. In addition to the 36 paroles issued by Lieutenant-Governor Painter in the three weeks he has been Acting Gov- ernor, it was learned this morning, he also gave a full pardon to Preston T. Aker, former Smithville banker and con- fessed embezzier, whose two-year pen- itentiary term expired today. The par- don previously had been indorsed with eraphasis on Aker’s long service to the Vemocratic party, although the cashier of the bank which Aker looted of some $6,000 and other business men of Smith- ville opposed it. It is customary for convicts to show by correct living after they leave prison that they are entitled to a pardon which restores them to ful! citizenship, including the right to vote and hold office. Aker was cashier of the Farmers’ Bank at Smithville, which is in Clay County, and in the same judicial district as Lieutenant-Governor Painter’s homs town, Carrollton. He was a deacon, a Sunday school worker and secretary of the School Board. A shortage of $62, was found in his accounts in May, 1913, and he oo arrested. Confessed to Forging Notes. He a+ confessed that he had ob- tained the money on forged notes, to which he had signed the names of farmers and business men of Clay Coun- ty. Twenty-two indictments were re- turned against him. He pleaded guilty on six and was sentenced to serve two years on each, but the sentences were made to run concurrently. Under the rule he got a fourth of his time off for good behavior. Acting Gov. Painter signed the pardon Saturday just before he left Jefferson City for Carrollton. Grover C. Wood, cashier of the Farm- ers’ Bank, was one of those who pro- tested. William H. Patterson, a Smith- nm, wrote to the Lieu- a& most vigorous pro- test, declaring that Aker had won the confidence and esteem of the people ar Smithville, only to rob them and de- stroy their gavings, that the former cashier ‘‘deliberately stole $50,000 and that public sentiment in and around Smithville opposed the pardon.”’ A *“Stanch Democrat.” W. C. Rice, who advocated a full par- don, ended his letter by saying that Preston was “also a stanch Democrat, ready and willing at all times to do and sacrifice his time and money for the good of his party.” Cc. H. Suddarth, who also petitioned for a pardon, said he believed that Preston ‘can yet be of service to his people ana country and the grand old Democratic party, with which he al- ways has been identified.’’ Gov. Major did not reach the capital this morning, as had been expected, but will get in some time tonight. With the Lieutenant-Governor at Carrollton, there is no executive at the seat of government. That is not unusual, how- ever, as Gov. Major frequently goes out of the city without leaving anyone in charge, unless he is also going out of the State.

NEW YORK, May 17.—President Wil- son delivered a patriotic address on the American flag and the protection it car- ries for Americans at a luncheon given today in his honor by the New York Citizens’ Committee for the reception of the Atlantic fleet. When the President arose to. speak, soon after reviewing the parade of sail- ors and marines from the fleet, he was; enthusiastically cheered. Five hundred jumped to their feet and applauded. All the officers were in full dress uniform. Alton B. Parker, Jacob Schiff, Joseph H. Choate, August Belmont and many other prominent New Yorkers were among those present. Acting Mayor George McAnemy in- troduced the President, who declared that the luncheon was not the occasion at which it was wise for him to make an extended address. He said he always had a deep interest in the navy. Right to Have Great Navy. “It is right,”’ he said, ‘“‘that Ameri- ca should have a great navy to ex- press its character.’’ The Navy, he added, brought the Unit- ed States in touch with the rest of the werld. Secretary Daniels was warmly praised by the President. Under him the President said the Navy had become more and more efficient. The Secre- tary, pert. “Te navy of the United States,"’ the President said, “‘expresses our ideals. } The fleet lying here at New York is a creat fleet and has nothing of bluster about it. “The great thing about America is that it wants no territory, and questions no other nation’s honor. We stand for hu- manity and for the things that human- it. wants.”’ Fie=z Typlifies All That Is Best. Speaking of the flag. the President asserted that !t typified all that was best in the world. “The mission of America,”’ he went on, “is what her soldiers and sailors should think of. They have nothing to do with shaping of policies. Some- time the persons who run _ the United States forget the principles it was founded on, but the people themselves never forget. ‘When a crisis occurs in this coun- try it is as if you put your finger on the pulse of the nation, as if you put your hand on the puise of a dynamo. “We lift no threats against any nation. This fleet in the river is a great solemn evidence that the forces of America is the forces of mora! principle. There is nothing else for which she will contend.” At the conclusion of his address, President Wilson left the hotel to tn- spect the fleet Iving at anehor in th« Hudson River. The President came ashore at the foot of West Forty-first street at 10:16 he declared, had his entire sup- o'clock. .He .was accompanied by act- army and navy officers and other guests, ing Mayor McAneny and W. Duncan Butler, vice chairman of the Citizens’ Committee. As he entered an automo- bile to drive to the reviewing stand, two troops of mounted police started their horses in a canter. As they clat- tered over the cobblestones 100 strong, other mounted police took their station beside the automobile in which the President rode. The President passed between thou- sands of persons lining the sidewalks, who roared a welcome. The presiden- tial party traveled at a brisk pace through the street, trailed by three au- tomobiles of secret service men and a detachment of detectives from police headquarters. When the President arrived at the re- viewing stand in front of the Library between Forty-first and Forty-second streets he found the Seventh Regiment, New York Guard, drawn up in salute. The block was roped off from the pub- lic but as the head of the column of mounted police dashed into the square, the throng for biocks set up a cheer that did not end till the President had taken his place. A few minutes after the President had reached the stand the head of the pa- rading line came into view. A sharp rain spattered the unfforms of the sail- ors with mud as they swung along Fifth avenue. A _ solid wall of umbrellas, dripping rivulets of water, sheltered the thousands whe had come to see and cheer along the line of march. President Watches Intently. A battalion of mounted police preceded the marchers, clad in dark blue jack- ets with light blue trousers, and then the regiments of sailors. As each de- tachment passed, the President was Sa- luted. Throughout the parade the Pres- ident stood, silk-hatted, intent on the spectacle, serious of face except when the passing of the mascots from the various battleships drew ripples of laughter from the crowd. Guards Even on Housetopes. Seldom had such precautions been taken to guard a President in New York City. Along the way there were many detectives, some of them being stationed even on the tops of houses, so that they might better observe the throngs. The secret service guard also was unusually heavy. Each ship had 20 bluejackets and @ marines in line, forming four regiments of bluejackets and one of marines under the command of Admiral Dewitt Coff- man, brigade commander. Not a few of the officers and men had distin- guished themselves at a less peaceful landing party at Vera Cruz more than a year ago. Between each regiment marched a ship's band, and the regi- roent of New York State Naval militia swung in behind. The line was not long in passing the stand. When the last detachment had passed the President. accompanied by Acting Mayor MecAneny. Admiral Fletcher, officers of the Cabinet, Mr. —_—_— o..._.

Officials have been reticent about dis- cussing the idea of arbitration or the ‘proposal with reference to foodstuffs, - but it was indicated that the situation had progressed to the point where the United States would not be likely to be j satisfied with any conditional acqui- . .escence in the American position. The latter, it was pointed out, is based on [ legality and humanity and no stipuia- : ‘tion could be considered which pre- sumed any recession by the United States from her rights under interna- tional law. Whether Great Britain would consent to disarm her merchant veesels carry- ing contraband is a matter of conjec- ture. EXxngland has insisted during the present war and also maintained with ‘much vigor in her correspondence with Russia during the Russo-Japanese war, ‘that a prize @hould be sunk only in case of military necessity. This posi- tion has been taken by the United : States in its naval code of instruétions on the theory that destruction of neu- tral goods as noncontraband character ; aboard belligerent merchantmen world require the payment of heavy damages. There has long been some difference f legal opinion, however, as to whetn- er neutral goods could be shipped with ‘legal immunity aboard. an armed, or even an unarmed merchantman of bel- ‘ligerent nationality, and it is the arm- _. ing merchantmen which Germany has contended makes it difficult for subma- fines to give warning.

On the other hand, some officials Believe there will be little necessity for _ this; as Great Britain already has -in- Yormally agreed not to arm her ves- gels plying between British and Ameri- fan ports.

So far as has been ascertained, three persons were injured. The air craft was a Zeppelin and in addition to dropping bombs here it also flew over Margate. The Zeppelin was first seen sea- ward at midnight, but it did not ven- ture over the town until 1:30 o'clock this morning, when it dropped a large number of incendiary bombs all over the town. No serious material dam- age was done, except to the Bull Hiotel, which was almost wrecked. The bomb went through the roof and pierced its.way to the cellar. Three cuests asleep in the hotel were in- jured, but it is not believed their hurts are serious.

Beverly C. Stevens, the Clayton mat estate dealer, whose involved affairs were exposed last September by the Post-Dispatch and who subsequently was indicted in 72 separate cases by the St. Louis County grand jury, went to trial on an embezzlement charge be- fore Cireuit Judge Cave in the Crimi- nal Court, today. This is the first of the Stevens’ cases to be tried, and is one of the 41 indict- ments assigned to St. Louis, when Ste- vens took a change of venue from 8t. Louis County. Of the 41 cases assigned to St. Louis, all but two have been dis- they will be taken up again by the grand jury at Clayton with a view to returning new Indictmente. Jury Is Completed, The jury selected was as follows: C. C. Antoine, 148 Wyoming street; Jolin N. Burke, 2338 Geraldine; Joseph M. Chandlee, 5356A Ridge: Henry J. Chott, 2925 Minnesota; O. G.

O. Melvin, 1713 Lafayette; Edward F. Meininger 225A President. Prosecuting Attorney Ralph outlined to the Jurors the charge, which is that Stevens embezzled a note for $1500, the rroperty of C. C. Sanders of 62 Clara evenue, a florist. The note was exe- cuted by Henry Woods Aug 1I7, 1912, and was intrusted, it is alleged, to Stevens. Ralph said he expected to show that the note was given by Woods to Ste- ders, and that Sanders, after holding it for a year or so, took it back to Ste- vens, for him to sell. Stevens, he said, took it to the Creve Coeur Bank and deposited it as security for a loan of $1250 to himself. The bank gave-Stevens a draft for $12%, he said, which Stevens cashed. Sanders, the lawyer said, called on Stevens to learn whether the note had been sold, but got no account of it until last October, when Stevens made an assignment. Sanders then learned of the deal at the bank. The bank ad- vertised the note for sale, he said, and Sanders bid it in. Woods Identifies Note, Woods tstified, identifying the nota. Sanders testified that he had known Stevens 10 years, and told of the cir- cumstances under which he intrusted Stevens with the note. The note and the deed of trust securing it were ad- mitted as evidence after a controversy. The deed covered property in Pocahon- tas Park, St. Louls County. Stevens arrived at the Municipal Courts Building shortly before 10 o'clock with his attorneys, Patrick H. Cullen and Charles M. Hay. He took a seat among the spectators in Judge Cave's courtroom, but when his case Was called, he walked forward and seated himself inside the inclosure and just back of his counsel. He appeared calm and collected, and paid close attention to the questioning of the jury panel. He is about 3 years vld, of medium height and slim build. His hair is touched with gray about the Lernples. Stevens’ counsel, in questioning the venire, asked if they had any preju- dice against the defendant because he is in the real estate business, or if they had any feeling against real estate men. ) For the next few weeks especially Fost-Dispatch Wants will help real es- tate sales; will sell and rent farms and exchange household furniture and au. are reported. ae oe es ¥ quality means road and weather.

y 10 DECIDE TODAY ON PEACE OR WAR Populace Wildly ldly Enthusiastic at Retention of Premier Salandra and Crowds Pa- sade the Streets, Waving Flags and Demanding Fight With Austria. 47 WOMEN KILLED IN FIGHTING AT TRIESTE Hundreds of Cities and ‘Towns Throughout King- dom Celebrate the Indorse- ment of the So-Called “War Cabinet.” ROME, May 17.—Developments of the utmost importance are expected today fn the affairs of Italy. Premier Salan- dra has called the first formal meeting of his Cabinet to be held since the pass- {ing of the ministerial crisis, which re- sulted in his remaining in power with a virtual vindication of his foreign pol- icy. It is considered highly probable a definite decision for peace or war may be reached. The tension has been intensified by re- ported clashes between Austrian and Italian frontier guards. The temper of the Italian people has been more high- ly inflamed by dispatches telling of a “women’s revolution” at Trieste. For- ty-seven women are saki to have been killed and 300 wounded thére by gen- darmes when they charged a crowd which was threatening the Governor's palace. Crowd Chiefly of Women. The crowd, composed chiefly of wom- en because most of the men have been called to the colors, invaded the square on which faces the palace of the Gov- ernor, Baron Friesseki. The women cried: “‘Death to Francis-Joseph! Down with Austria!’ burned an Austrian flag together with a portrait of the Emperor and attempted to attack the palace. The Governor ordered gendarmes to charge the crowd and the women re- tired, fighting stubbornly. Lamp posts were torn up and the signs of tobac- conists, which bear the Austrian coat of arms, because their business is a Government monopoly, were destroyed. Official confirmation of the report that the Salandra Cabinet would remain in power was greeted by one of the most remarkable demonstrations of approval ever witnessed in Rome. A crowd esti- mated at 300,000 gathered in the Popolo Square at the foot of the Pincian Hill, the slope and summit of which were thronged with representatives of the most artistocratic families in the capi- tal. Flags Displayed Everywhere, Society women wearing the tri-color of Italy waved flags and handkerchiefs as they joined in the cheers for Salan- éra and Foreign Minister Sonnino, while bands played patriotic airs. To the Garibaldian veterans in the crush ft seemed that the stirring days of the War of Independence had returned. Even horses and cabs were decked with flags. Beside the Obelisk in the square was an immense caricature of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, at which all kinds of missiles were hurled. French, British, Belgian and Russian flags were borne aloft with the Italian colors. There was @ great patriotic demon- stration before the home of Ricciotti Garibaldi. The veteran “red shirt” lead- er responded to insistent demands for a speech by declaring “today the Italian people are writing the !ast page of their mational liberation to which our red shirts contributed.” A young priest who declared all po- litical parties had been merged into a united Italy was hailed as a new Ugo Bassi, the priest who followed Gari- baldi and was shot down by the Aus- trians. Marchers Showered With Flowers. A procession of enthusiastic Romans marched from one end of the city to the other and back again, under a shower of flowers, thrown from the houses along the way. There were extraordi- nary demonstrations at the home of Premier Salandra, the War Office, the royal palace and at the Consulta, where it was thought the grim visage of Son- nino, the Foreign Minister who has been implacable in his demands upon Aus- tria, was seen behind a window. Rome's great demonstration of rejoic- ing at the solution of the ministerial crisis by the retention in office of the so-called “War Cabinet,” was echoed on a smalier scale in hundreds of cities and towns throughout the kingdom. Every- where was evident on the part of the people a desire for war with Austria. Strike at Milan Ends. The excitement at Milan subsided on receipt of the news of Premier Salan- dra's retention. The general strike there passed off without serious incident, al- though there was a demonstration in favor of war on the part of a crowd estimated at 40,000. Similar demonstra- tions occurred at Florence, Naples, Mes- gina, Bologna, Palermo and Catania. The demonstration at Bologna devel- oped into a free fight between the fac- tions for and against war. At Genoa crowds attempted to pillage the shops of a gunsmith, but were held in check by troops. Maly Said to Have 1,700,000 Soldiers Ready for Field.

Griswold, filed this afternoon, leaves the greater part of his estate to his daughter by his first marriage, Miss Ellen Griswold, more generally known to her St. Louis acquaintances as Nellie. Griswold, who died last Friday, was the sole owner of the Laclede Hotel and was repitted to have a fortune of more than $1,000,000. Under the will Griswold's and his widow, Laura, who was his second wife, each receive half of the' personal property, valued at $75,000. A bequest of $5000 is made to Alex- ander C. Howard, manager of the La- clede Hotel and one of $2500 to George W. Menefee, a clerk at the hotel. The remainder of the property, rea) and mixed, is left to Miss Griswold, ex- cept that the widow is to have her dower right, which is one-third life in- terest in the property. Griswold’s divorced wife, Emily ac- companied her daughter and Attorney John M. Wood to the Courthouse to file the will for probate. Wood and the daughter are named as executors. SPEEDER ALSO IS FINED FOR BLOWING HORN TOO LOUDLY Chauffeur Arrested by Night Chief Gillaspy First to Be Punished Under Noise Ordinance. The first fine under a recently adopted ordinance making it a crime to create “ a loud and unnecessary noise’ with an automobile horn was imposed by Judge Hogan today in the case against Oliver Kortkamp, of 1437 Clinton street, a chauffeur. Kortkamp also was charged with speeding. Night Chief Gillaspy made the arrest at Grand avenue and-Olive street at 1 a. m. today, after chasing Kortkamp several blocks in his automobile. Gil- laspy testified that Kortkamp was go- ing 30 miles an hour and sounding his horn with unnecessary loudness and frequency. Kortkamp admitted he was going more than 20 miles an hour. He said he used his horn only at crossings. ' Judge Hogan fined Kortkamp $10 on the speeding charge and $5 on the charge of misusing the horn.

OBJECTION TO LAND SALE Creditors’ Committee Has Been Handling Affairs of Former Bankers’ Trust Head. United States Judge Dyer this morning decided that the committee of five trus- tees, to whom the $1,900,000 assets of J. E. Franklin, former president of the Bankers’ Trust Co., were turned over iast July for settlement with his credit- tors, had not managed the assets to the best advantage. He appointed as receiv- er, to supersede the trustees, Frank J. Cunningham of Pemiscot County, Mo. The members of the committee of five were Richard 8S. Hawes, vice president of the Third National Bank; August Schlafly, bond dealer; August E. Brook- er, cashier of the Manchester Bank; Samuel C., McCluney, broker, and L, 8. Mitchell, assistant to the president of the National Bank of Commerce. Banks Sought Injunctiov. Eugene H. Angert, who represented the committee in the hearing which lei to Judge Dyer’s decision, told a Post- Dispatch reporter that an appeal would be taken. The receiver is required to give $50,000 bond, and Arthur L. Oliver, United States District Attorney, was named as counsel for the receiver. Judge Dyer’s decision was given in the suit of three banks, two in Illinois and one in Arkansas, which sought an injunction to prevent the sale of a tract of 800 acres in Pemiscot County, for $300,000, to William B. McGinley of De- catur, Ill. A deal for the purchase at this price was made, it was alleged McGinley to pay $25.000 cash and the balance in notes due Jan. 1 next. Creditors’ Agreement. The three banks were originally ties to the creditors’ which the Franklin assets were turned over to the comfhittee of five. When they learned of the pending sale of the Pemiscot County land, they began the legal proceedings, declaring that the tract was being sold for much less than its value, and asking an injunction. No restraining order to stop the sale of land was issued, as had been re- quested, but the lawyers in the case be- lieve the court’s action will prevent the consummation of the deal. Judge Dyer, commenting on a question raised as to his jurisdiction, said the agreement of last July did not give the trustees such unlimited discretion over the Franklin assets as to prevent # court of chancery administering them, provided the court finds that the dis- cretion conferred on them has been abused, or the interest of the benefi- ciaries jeopardized by mismanagement, whether by willful carelessness or neg- lect. Judge on Committee’s Work. The Judge said he found the Pemiscot County land to be of great value, and reasonably worth largely in excess of $400,000. He also found that the com- mittee had not ‘managed the trust es- tate so as to realize ‘to the best ad- vantage on the assets of the said Franklin,’ in that they have failed to realize, from the available assets of the estate, funds sufficient to pay the inter- est on the underlying mortgages on cer- tain of said lands, and have thereby invited the sale of such lands at auc- tion. They have also failed to provide means for the payment of State and county taxes, and have thereby permit- ted large penalties to be assessed against the said lands. ‘They have also,”’ the Court continued “failed to properly advertise the sale of the 8500 acres of land. They have accepted and acted on an alleged ap- praisement of the said land, made by persons residing in Illinois, unacquainted with the lands and the value thereof. and have permitted such appraisers to be selected and named by persons other than themselves.” par- agreement by Painter Grants Full Pardon to Bank Embezzler Centinued From Page One. and Paroles.

Thev spoke so eloquently of utter weariness and pain; there was something about them that was the very essence of pathos. The owners of those boots were lying on stretchers which were made to slide into the ambulances as draw- ers slide into bureaus, and most of them were suffering terrible agony. This was the reaping of that terrible harvester which was at its work of mowing down human beings not five miles away. Sometimes as the ambulances went rocking by we would catch a fleeting glimpse of some poor fellow whose wounds would not permit of his lying down. I remember one of these, 4&4 clean-cut, fair-haired youngster, who looked to be still in his teens. He was sitting on the floor of the ambulance. leaning for support against the rail. He held his arms straight out in front of him. Both his hands had been blown away at the wrists. The head of another man was s0 swathed in bandages that my first im- pression was that he was wearing a huge turban of white and red. The jolt- ing of the car had caused the bandages to slip. If that man lives, little chil- dren will run from him in terror and women will turn aside when they meet him on the street. And still that caravan of agony kept rolling by, rolling by. The floors of the cars were wire sieves, leaking blood. The dusty road over which they had passed no longer needed sprinkling. Every Butiding a Hospital. Tearing over the rough cobbles of Bail- leul, the ambulance came to a halt be- fore some one of the many doorways over which droop the Red Cross flags, tor every suitable building in the little town has been converted into a hos: pital. The one of which I am going to tell you had been a school until the war began. It is officially known as hospital No. 8 but I shall always think of it as hell's ante-chamber. On ‘the afternoon that I was there 800 wounded were brought into that building between the hours of 2 and 4, and this, mind you. was but one of many hospitals in that same little town. As I entered the door I had to stand aside to let a stretcher carried by two orderlies pass out. Through the rougn brown blanket which covered the stretcher showed the vague outlines of a human form, but the face was cov- ered and it was very still. In a week or two or a month, when the death lists are published, there will appear the name of the still form under the brown blanket and there will be anguish in some English home. In the hallway of the hospital a man was sitting upright on a bench and tw» surgeons were working over him. He was sitting there because the operating rooms were filled. I hope that that man is unmarried, for he no longer has a fece. What an hour or so had been tha lonest countenance—of an English lad was now a horrid welter of blood anid splintered bone and mangled flesh, The surgeon in charge took me upstairs to the ward which contained the more serious cases. On a cot be- side the door was stretched a young Canadian. His face looked as if it had been stepped upon by a giant in spiked shoes. “Look,” said the sur- geon, and lifted the woolen blanket. That man’s body looked like a field which has been gone over with a disc harrow. His feet, his legs, his abdomen, his chest, his face was fur- rowed with gaping, angry wounds. ‘He was shot through the nnn ft By E- ALEXANDER POWELL A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch and New York World. 1915, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York World). HEADQUARTERS OF THE FRENCH ARMY IN FLANDEPS, Mer li This is the story of what I saw the other day in a little town called Bailleul. Bailleul is only two or three miles on the French side of the Franco-Belgian frontier and it is so close to the firing line that its window panes continuously The noise along that portion of the battle front never ceases. It sounds for all the world like the clatter of a gigantic harvester and that is precisely what it is, the harvester of death. As we entered Bailleul they were bringing in the harvest. bringing it in in automobiles, many, many, many of them, stret«hing in endless procession down the yellow roads which lead to Lille and Poperinghe, and Over the gray bodies of the automobiles were gray canvas hoods and painted on the hoods were staring scarlet crosses. The curtain at the back of each automobile was rolled up, and protruding from the dim interior were four paits of feet. wrapped in bandages, and on the fresh white linen were bright red stains, they were encased in worn and muddy boots. — They were Sometimes those feet were said the surgeon. “He made his way back to the dressing station in the reserve trenches, but just as he reachetl there a shell exploded at his feet.’ Smiles Despite Agony. I patted him on the shoulder and told him that I too knew the land of the great forests and the _ rolling prairies, and that before long he was going back to it. And, though he couldn't speak, he turned that poor, torn face of hig and smiled at me. He must have been suffering the tor- tures of the damned, but he smiled at me, I tell you, he smiled at me! In the next bed, not two feet away, for these hospitals in Bailleul are crowded, a youngster from a Highland regiment was sitting propped against his pillows. He could not lie down, the surgeon told me, because he had been shot through the lungs. He held a tin cup in his hand, and quite regularly, about once a minute, he would hold it to his lips and spit out blood. Over by the window lay a boy with a face as white as the pillow cover. He was quite conscious and stared at the cellings with wide, unseeing eyes. ‘“‘An- other shrapnel case,”’ said a hospital attendant. ‘‘Both legs amputated, but he'll recover.”’ I wonder what he'll do for a living when he gets back to England. Per- haps he will sell pencils or boot laces on the flags of Piccadilly and hold out his cap for coppers. A man with his head all swathed in strips of linen lay so motionless that I asked if he were living. “Shot through the head,’’ was the answer. ‘‘We've tried trepanning, and he'll probably pull through, but he'll never recover his reason.” Can’t you see him in the years to come, my friends, this splendid specimen of manhood, his mind a Dlank, wan- dering, helpless as a little child, about some English village? Wounded Arrive Day and Night. I doubt if any four walls in all the world contain more human suffering than those of Hospital No. 8 at Bailleul, yet of all those shattered, broken, man- gled men I heard only one utter a com- plain or groan. He was a fair-haired giant, as are so many of these English fighting men. “A bullet had splintered his spine and with his hours numbered he was suffering the most awful torment that a human being can endure. The perspiration stood in beads upon his forehead, the muscles of his neck and arms were so corded and knotted that it seemed as if they would burst through the sun-tanned skin. His naked breast rose and fell in sobs of agony. “Oh, God! Oh, God!" he moaned, “be merciful and take me. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts me so—my wife—the kiddies— doctor, give me a hypodermic and stop the pain—say good-by to them for me— tell them—oh, I can’t stand it any long- er—I’m not afraid to die—but I just can't stand this pain—Oh, God! Dear God! won't you let me die? When I went out of that room the perspiration was standing on my ow" forehead. They took me downstairs to show me what they call the evacuation ward. It is a big, barnlike room, per- haps 100 feet long by 8 wide, and tlic floor was. so thickly covered’ witi. blanketed forms on _ stretchers that there was no room to walk about among them. These were the men whose wounds had been treated and who, ‘tt was believed. were able to journey by hospital train to one of the _ Britisn bases on the coast.

The wounded are, for the most part, cheerful—as cheerful, that is, as men can be whose bodies have been ripped and drilled and torn by shot and shell, who have been strangled by poisonous gases and who are aflaine with fever, who are faint from loss of blood, and who have before them a railway jour- rey of many hours. This railway journey is as comfortable ty can make it, to the coast as human ingenul- the trains with their white enamel interiors end swinging Lerths being veritable hospitals on wheels, but to these weakened, worried men it is terribly trying, though they know that at the end of it clean beds and cool pillows and svuft-footed, low- voiced nurses are awaiting them. The men to be transferred still wore the clothes in which they hat been carried from the trenches, though in many cases they had been slashed open that the surgeons might get at the wounds. They were plastered with mud. Many of them had no opportunity to bathe for weeks. Their underclothes were in such condition that when re- moved they fell apart. The canvas stretchers on which they lay #0 patient- ly and uncomplainingly were splotched with what looked like wet brown paint, and on this horrid, sticky sub- stance were swarms of hungry flies. The air was heavy with mingled smells of antiseptics, perspiration, flesh, blood and human filth. Britain Owes Debt of Gratitude In that room was to be found every form of wound which can be inflicted by the most hellish weapons the brain of man has devised. The wounded were covered with coarse woolen blankets, but some of the men in their torment had kicked the coverings off, and I saw things which I have no words to tell about, and which I wish ‘with all my heart that I could forget. To the surgeons and the nurses in the hospitals of Balleul the people of England owe a debt of gratitude which they can never fully repay. The soldiers in the trenches are waging no more desperate or heroic battle than these quiet, efficient, en- ergetic men and women, who wear the red badge of mercy. They have no sicep save such as they can snatch between the tides of wounded or when they drop on the floor from sheer exhaustion. Their organization is a marvel of efficiency. That of the Germans may be. as good, but it can be no better. They are working under as trying condi- tions as doctors and nurses were ever called upon to face. They treat dail? hundreds of cases, any one of which would cause a Tondon surgeon to call a consultation. They are in con- stant peril from marauding Taubes, for the German aviators seem to take pleasure In choosing buildings flying TURKS AND KURDS.

By AsrNeT ON May 17.—The new Portuguese Cabinet, headed by Premier Chages, has met with the entire ap- proval of the country and quiet has been restored, according to a dispatch re- ceived from Lisbon today at the Portu- guest Legation here. The Portuguese Minister, Viscount de Alte; said he believed the disturbances had no international significance and were merely directed against the min- istry, the resignation of which removed the fear of further trouble. PARIS, May 17.—apsolute calm has been restored in Lisbon and the Portu- guese capital has resumed its normal appearance, according to a dispatch to the Havas Agency filed late yesterday. Some of the best known monarchists are leaving the city. The movement, which was republican and not mon- archistic, is said to have been directed solely toward strengthening the repub- lic, which the revolutionary elements believed was threatened or weakened by the policy of Pimenta Castro as Pre- mier. A Havas dispatch from Lisbon con- tains the proclamation issued by the Revolutionary Committee in Lisbon. It says: “We are going to restore the republic to the republicans. We demand a na- tional Goverf@&ent and consequently it ought to be republican. We shall adopt no. party flag, because we wish all re- publicans to be united for the dignity of the country and the salvation of the re- public. “We do not advise violence or repris- als. Our energy does not preclude gen- erosity for the vanquished. It is the province of the Nationa] Government alone to execute measures for patriotic defense. All may rély upon its honor and its patriotism.’’ Cabinet Decided On. Another Havas dispatch from Lisbon stays the Revolutionary Committee has deliberated on the designation of a Na- tional Government and that the Cabinet probably will be presided over by Jao Chagas, who Also will have the portfolio of Minister of the Interior. The other members probably will be Fernandez Costa, former Minister of Marine; Du-| soon to begin. Please call and have an interview with the instructor, Mr. E. L.

Senor Cunha, former Governor of Ma- deira, was killed by a shell which en- tered his house. Civilians went to the artillery mu- seum and helped themselves to all kind; of weapons. A large body of them, headed by a customs officer, attacked republic guards posted around the Min- istry of the Interior. The Ministry buildings and those of the museum were badly damaged.

LISBON, via Paris, May 17.—The suc- cess of the revolutionary forces has been confirmed. The new Government, which will be presided over by Joao Chagas, was proclaimed from the win- dows of the city hall and'the announce- ment was received with enthusiastic manifestations. The casualties of Friday's fightinz numbered 67 killed and 300 wounded. Saturday's list is not yet obtainable, but there were many more killed or wounded’ on both sides during assaults on police headquarters, the military col- lege and the cavalry barracks, the dé- fenders of which delivered determine counter attacks before they were over- come. Several royalists were arrested, in- cluding Marquis Ficalho. The new Gov- ernment is taking measures to re-estab- lish normal conditions. The former Minister of Marine was arrested and taken aboard a warship for having or- dered a destroyer to sink the warship from which the revolutionists were bom- barding the city. News from Oporto indicates that the demonstrations there were similar to those in Lisbon, but there were fewer casualties. All the regiments in Lisbon and in the provinces now have surren- dered. The last two to capitulate were cavalry regiments which led the military movement resulting in the appoint- ment of Pimenta Castro as Premier in January.

Shelling was maintained in the morning but no infantry attack was delivered until the afternoon when the cannonading in- creased, it apparently being the enemy's purpose to wear us out and so batter our trenches by high explosives that an easy passage would bs secured for his tn- fantry. “Along the eastern face our line runs from: the Ypres—Zonnerbecke road, a little’ to the east of Verlorenhoek, in a southeasterly direction, to Menin high road, skirting the eastern edge of Belle- warde woods, which encircles the Cha- teau Heogo. South of the Menin road it continues through the center of the woods for about 1200 yards and then emerges outside them to Hill No. 60. Gas Fails of Result. “after their artillery had done its worgt—the bombardment being the most violent up to now experienced on that portion of the front—the Germans trought their gas cylinders into play. Half an hour later, having allowed time for the gas to produce its expected re- sult, their infantry advanced to the as- sault. of our trenches, held, as ther thought, by stupefied or dead men. Un- luckily for them, on this occasion their methods of frightfulness wen astray somewhat, for our men were provided with measures for counteracting the gas and still were very much alive. A strange scene then was witnessed. Throtigh the scattered woods and across the @learings streamed 4 loose and dis- ordered mob of attackers, some of those in nt, according to report, being dressed in British uniforms in order to put our men off their guard and give time for the rest of their own men to come up. Suddenly our infantry lined their parapets and poured in a rapid fire from rifles and machine guns on the ad- vancing crowd, who threw themselves flat an their faces. That, however, was the chance for our guns. They poured in a heavy shrapnel fire and in a few moments the ground was strewn with dead and dying Germans all along in front of our parapets. ‘Amid this scene of horror and confu- gion out of the smoke and dust that hung’in front of our trenches, suddenly emerged a man dressed in highland uni- form and shouting: ‘Don't shoot, don’t shoot/ as he ran toward us. The ruse ‘Was seen through, however, and he fell riddied by bullets. - Part of Position Taken. *“‘At- one point the Germans succeeded in gaining a portion of our position, but were forced to retire by the gas. This assault was reminiscent of those deliv- ered in October by newly raised Ger- man corps. The latter amounted to for- lorn purposes taken by brave but ill- trained levies which had been hastily brought up and thrown into the fight. On this occasion the undertaking was equally hopeless except for the assist- ance obtained from asphyxiating gas, which, as a matter of fact, failed. Another effort to drive us from our trenches by means of gas was made morth of the Ypres—Cannines Canal. The Germans here had two batteries of eylinders, placed so that their nozzles projected over the parapet and for the epace of half an hour a cloud of white gas spurted out. It was so dense thar ‘when standing in it a man could not see his hand when held in front of his face, and its fumes bleached the grass and turned the sandbags of the parapets to @ bright yellow colon. “No infantry attack was attempted, and although our trench had to be evac- uated for a time, it was soon reoccu- pied. Our troops on the flanks kept up @ rapid fire and prevented any advance on the enemy's part, had such been his intention. But from the movements that could be observed in their lines, it is | from end to end with rifle and ma- thine gun fire, scattered and driven back Before reaching our position. | “It was evident that our infantry was not yet sufficiently shaken for the as- sault to be pressed home, and so for three hours every German gun within range was directed against the portion of our fronts south of the Menin road “At 8&8 p. m. the bombardment ceased and the enemy's infantry once more swarmed forward, many of them dressed in kilts. On this occasion they suc- ceeded in occupying temporarily a short length of our trenches. But it was plain they were, for the time being, at any rate, utterly exhausted and when coun- ier atacked they made a most feeble resistance and were easily driven back. “For some hours previously to this the Germans had been throwing incen- diary shells into Ypres and by this time the town was blazing flercely in different places, while a dense pall of smoke hung over it. In November, when similar steps were taken to destroy the city, it was noticed that they syncnron- ized with abandonment of the effort to capture it. It is as yet too soon to say that the same interpretation must be put on the enemy’s present action. ‘Besides opening fire with accuracy and speed, on the advancing Germans our guns bombarded their defense works with good effect. “One of our airmen had a thrilling ex- perience. He was alone in a single seat- ed aeroplane in pursuit of a German machine. While trying to reload his machine gun, he lost control of the steering gear and the aeroplane turned upside down. The belt around his waist happened to be loose and the jerk of the turn almost threw him out of the machine, but he saved himself by catch- ing hold of the rear center struss. The belt slipped down round his legs. While he hung thus, head downward, making desperate efforts to disentangle his legs, the machine fell from 8000 to about 2500 feet, spinning like a falling leaf. At last he managed to free his legs and reach the control lever with his feet. He then succeeded in righting the machine, whereupon he slid into his seat. Intelligent Printing Service At Hughes.

The Ford car, according to the police, had 12 occupants, and men were stand- ing on each running board. The car was running south on the west side of Grand avenue. A street car, standing still for a moment, screened the jitney car from the view of Mrs. Josephin: Gantt, 85 years old, of 2514 California avenue, who was driving north on Grand avenue, and was turning into Vandeventer place. As soon as the car had passed, Mrs. Gantt turned directly west, and drove her car into the side of the jitney car. Women screamed and men jumped as the smaller car was jammed against the curb. Mrs. Gantt and Miss Elda L inks, who was with her, were not hurt. Mrs Gantt and the driver of the jitney car. E. P. Scanlon of 2818 Burd avenue, were taken to'the Dayton Street Police Station, and Capt. Singleton, after an inquiry, said both would be sent to Po- lice Court on charges of careless driv- ing. Capt. Singleton said---Mrs. Gantt seemed to be more to blame for the col- lision, but that the jitney chauffeur, by overloading his car, had made injury, in case of an accident, more.likely. CHEMICAL WAR BOMB 70 BE TRIED ON CONDEMNED. CATTLE Experiments With Dr. R; L. Fowzer’s Invention Under U. 8. Army Supervision. CHICAGO, May 17.—Beginning next week, experiments will be conducted at Fort Sheridan, under supervision of United States army officers, with the chemical bomb recently invented by Dr. R..L. Fowzer. Condemned cat- tle will be-the subjects. Dr. Fowzer declares their death will be instan- taneous. A representative fag the War Department conferred here yester- day with Dr. Fowzer. It developed that Government chemists have been working for a year to perfect a bomb almost identical with Dr. Fow- 7er’ s. “I would not be afraid to tell any- one everything used in the ~ bomb,” said Dr. Fowzer, “and defy produc- tion of the bomb.

FIGHT ULD TRIAL HORSE BALDWIN TUESDAY Former Champion LightWeight Is Not Risking Much by Tak- ing on Bostonian. Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion of the world, is in Boston to- day, resting up before his 12-round bout with Matty Baldwin, which takes place at the Atlas A. C. Tuesday night. Baldwin was a good fighter three or four years ago, but constant campaign- ing has taken the steam out of the old trial horse. Baldwin seldom whipped good fighters, but it took a top-notcher to beat him. Whenever new lightweight timber was under consideration, they trotted out Matty to give him a try out. Al Lippe, who took the three American fighters, Jeff Smith, Frank Loughrey and Coffey, the Harlem light weicht, to Australla for battles, has evidently changed his mind about sailing for home on May 10. He has cabled Levins asking him to find out what sum Jack Curley demands for the sole picture rights of the Willard-Johnson battle in Aus- tralia. Curley placed his figures at $15,000. Although several clubs have been trying to sign up Jim Coffey 7. ‘Dublin Giant.”’ for a battle, Harry Pollo who will hold open-air shows at the ata Brighton Beacl) racetrack this summer, has finally* secured him for a 10-round go with some good heavy- weight at the opening show, to be held on the afternoon of May 31.

V’CoLUMN Connie Is Right—for a Minute. ORNELIUS MecGILLICUDDY, the greatest mahout of White Elephants that ever managed a baseball team, added another rivet to his gument that ‘‘Lajoie is as valuable to the Athletics as Collins,’’ yesterday. He hibit A in the matter is the box score of the game between the White Sox and the White Elephants. In this Larry Lajole’s batting fea- tured, while Eddie Collins’ hitting was entirely negative. In addition to making two doubles, Larry performed in three putouts and two assists, while Collins had but two chances. Thus far this season Lajoie is hitting 814 while Collins is not in the .300 class at all. Every time they start to “call” the guide of the Elephants, he jabs ’em with his ankus. - . © Luck Against Mackmen. HE human filament is, however, having his share of bad luck. Stuf- fy McInnis, relied upon to help Lajole supply the hitting punch for the team, is out of the fray with a broken nose, suffered in practice. When he returns, several weeks later, he will be plate- shy, no doubt, and lose some of his clouting efficiency for the time being. Unless Mack's pitching shapes up and Frank Baker comes to an agreement with the management, the club will be in a precarious situation. It is operating minus the services of six of the men who played star parts at winning titles in the past. No outfit, however strong, can stand such a loss with out adequate substi- tutes; and no manager, however re- sourceful, can dig up suitable fillers for the vacancies. Improved pitching and the return of Baker and McInnis will make the club n better-looking team than the Browns. Otherwise, how it can beat Cleveland out of last place is a hard one to an- swer. And at that we admit that the Indians have begun to lose in genuine mid-season form. Twice in the Same Place. HAT there are ‘“‘just as good fish left in the sea” is being made evident at Missouri University, where it was once thought that the gap left in the track team py the loss of John Nichol- son of St. Louis could never be filled by one man. Robert Simpson has put this theory on the blink, Saturday, at Lawrence, Kan., Simpson won three firsts and a second, which is crowding even Nick’s best per- formance to the limit. Simpson is proving a more re- Hiable and more valued asset in the hurdles than the former Olympic star. He hasn’t attained world’s record form yet; but 152-5 seconds for the big sticks is time that only two or three men in the country can equal. Simpson also is a star at the low hur- dies, at which Nick never shone. He is better than Kirksey ever was, and has done a shade better than the latter's conference record, doing the low obsta- clea in 24 4-5s. Simpson is what Nicholson was not~a sprinter. To win both hurdles and the 100-yard dash in one meet, and then come out and take second in the broad jump is a feat of very rare achieve- ment. . - « With Simpson, Floyd, Niedorp and other stars to rely on the Missouri team ought not only to win the Valley Con- ference games, but make a dandy show- ing in the “Big Nine’ meet—uniess the i? a ?i2 _ Vie t, REMOVAL ITEM: Sept. 7th, 1840: Papers at St. Louis mention the arrival there of Indians from Ohio.

ESULTS of Eastern track and field meets held during the past two weeks have made the intercollegiate championship situation as clear as mud. On present form Yale, Harvard and Cor- nell are so close together that the in- roads into the point scoring made Dy lesser college stars may determine the title. Cornell has defeated Harvard by two or three points. Harvard has beaten Yale, when a protest resulted in throw- ing out the 5 points previously counted for Yale by the ineligible man, Roos, Cornell decisively defeated Pennsylva- nia. That’s the present status of the “dope.” If Southern Califor- nia sends a team East the situa- tion may be completely altered, as Cornell will surely lose certain points it would otherwise be able to count against its castern rivals. oN FCN Lf ON BRL Ons V ICTORY No. 4 in that chain of suc- cessive conquests now being forged at Sportsman's Park was gained yester- day at the expense of Clarke Griffith's retrograding Nationals, 2—1, in 11 in- nings as 7000 fans looked on. Carl Weilman pitched, and that was about all the Browns needed. The only run made off Weilman was pretty much a fluke. One gone in the seventh, Milan walked. He was trapped off first, but when Severeid passed to Kauffman. Milan went to second and Kauffman made a high throw to Lavan, who dropped the ball, failing to get Milan, standing up. Weilman made a wild peg to Pratt trying to snipe Milan, and Clyde went to third. Gandil’s long fly scored him. Then the Browns tightened up. They knotted the score in the eighth,thanks to a boner by Griffith. The situation was this: Shotton was on second with two out when Griff ordered Pratt pur- posely passed. Pratt hasn’t hit any- thing but the hay lately and the reason. for — him still is a dark secret, However, he was passed, and this got Big Jim in the habit, so he also passed Kauffman and C.

Lee occupies a rather unique posi- tion in baseball, as manager of the only club in the world that doesn’t play Sunday ball, and manager at a figure of $10,000 per annum. He is hitting .412, leads the outlaw pill- maulers, and has stolen 12 bases, one more than Benny Kauff, the Ty Cobb of the young circuit. His pro- teges are now in fifth place, five games behind the pacé-making Reb- els. They are considered a potent pennant factor. The atory of Magee’s rise in tbase- ball, told in soqeens from its very inception, is no an uninteresting “success story.” It reveals how a young man of tireless energy, who wag groomed at the age of 14 to be a printer, washed his hands of the ink and by ai persistent publicity campaign, personally conducted, lift- ed himself onto a managerial dais By W. J. O’Connor. ONE of those urbane athletes who have in the past two years been put ‘‘out to pasture’’ in the Elysian fields of baseball finance, have thrived more than Magee, a major league manager at 26. Magee was a caller last night. He spent three hours in St. Louis be- tween trains, halting on his way from Baltimore to Kansas City, where bis at an annual allowance greater than the pay of a United States Congress- AGED admitted last night that he heeded that advice. ‘In five years of major league experience I haven't yet dodged a camera,” said Lee, who is generally regarded as the most pictured prima donna in the game. It is a mat- ter of film record that during the Giants-Sox tour of the world in the winter of 1913, Magee had his picture taken more often than any other man on the tour. And his favorite of this large collection of “‘snap-shots” is the one which shows him leaning on King Edwards’ private box as the camera vainly tried to get a picture of the King but couldn’t shoot past Magee. Mike Donlin said after the trip that one sure way of locating Magee was to set up a tri-pod. Magee would be looking into the teeth of the camera before the operation was finished. And that’s why Steve Evans calls the young manager the “Camera Kid.”’ “In Five Years I’ve Never Dodged _ a Camera” Says the Boy-Manager Magee started in baseball in 196 at the age of 16 as an amateur in Cincin- nati. He was born in that town June 4, 1889. In 1907 he hired out with Spring- field for his first professional engage iment at a salary of $90 per month. The Financial Evidence. a4 now for some financial facts. An Springfield fired Magee late in June. So he hired out with Waterloo for hgpreey js the only player lost by the Cards, whose absence has been felt, even though Britton’s team did lose Evans, Oakes, Wingo, Per- ritt, O’Connor and Roberts. Magee could play seven positions accept- ably and therefore he was one of those invaluable adjuncts to a ball club. He told last night some of tne facts leading up to his jump last winter. ‘My contract with the Cardinals had another year to run, but it contained a 10-days clause,’’ said Magee. ‘That made it vulnerable, just like Miller’s and Sallee’s, both of whom ‘were paid a cash bonus in midseason, 1914, to scratch out this clause. ‘The Feds were after me during the fall and offered a salary that would tempt Croesus himself. fter the sea- son remained in St. Louis for two weeks, nonns that Britton would sug- gest the elimination of the 10-day clause. —— * Britton Offered Maze $2000 After Having Ignored His First Demand man and almost twice that of any State Governor on the continent. How did he do it? He said last night he didn’t just exactly know how he came to “step out.”’” His success, s0 sudden and all that, has left the young man slightly dazed; but withal he’s self- possessed and prepared to go through. The writer believes he knowg more about Magee’s success than Lee does himself. And the crux of the story is this: In the spring of 1911, when Magee, 21 years old, reported from Seattle to the Cardinals, it was our duty to have him ‘“‘shot’’ by the camera before Bres- nahan’s recruits started on their spring training trip. Magee objected. “I'm a busher and have no right to be posing for a pic- ture,’’ said Lee at the Planters Hotel. We tried to show him the folly of such belief and after an argument succeed- ed. Our advice to Magee then was never to dodge a camera, for baseball is largely a matter of publicity and the player who gets the biggest notices usually can attract fans at the gate, ergo kopeks at the B. O. $100 a month and Waterloo beat Springfield out for the pennant. He went back to Waterloo as a second baseman in i908 and was sold to Seattle, still drawing only $100 per month. Seattle paid him $150 a month during 1909 when\he developed into a first-sacker, so good that the Cards bought him. He reported in 1910 and Bresnahan signed him at the peng el AL allowance of $1500, then released h to Louisville. He again came to th Cards in 1911 and pinched off $180 for the season. In 1912 Bresnah boosted his pay to $2100, and when Magee made g004 in the outfield, benching Rube Ellis, Roger tacked on a $600 bonus. His salary jumped to $3000 in 1913 with an addition _of $25) for batting better than .260. Then war broke out. Magee wernt with McGraw around the world an was lucky to land in New York when the Feds were bidding highest for material. He was unsigned and the Cardinal club forked over $6000. for the season of 1914, with a bonus of $1200 for the club finishing third. Magee abrogated that contract last winter and signed to manage the Brookfeds at $10,000 a season. So there vou have it: From $540 a year in 1908 to $10,000 a year in 1914, a brief span of six years. |He never spoke about it. Finally I called him on the phone and advised him of my intentions of meeting Gilmore in Chicago. Hug Eager to Keep Magee. *“*Go as far as you like,’ was his an- swer, so I went. I signed at a big sal- ary. Then Huggins came to me and wanted me to undo the deed. He of- tered to trade me to Philadelphia and get me more money. I balked. Then he offered me a cash bonus of $2000 to jump the Feds and play out my contract in St. Louis. I would have stricken the 10- day clause from my contract two weeks previous, on the night I called Britton, for $500. My friends Know that. But Britton wouldn't have it, although he later offered $2000 for the operation. “IT like St. Louls and wanted to play here, but the management wouldn’t show me anything like the consideration they showed Miller and Sallee, so I hur- died. I’m glad now I did, because I’m a manager and will succeed.’’ He never had anything but confidence. Veteran St. Louls “Lightweight” Has Outpointed Cleverer Men Than His Next Foe. By sheaey S. Sharpe. Referee for Future City A. C. the Post-Diapatch’s Boxing Authority Harry Trendall of St. Louis and Charley Pierson of Kansas City are matched to box eight rounds at the Future City Athletic Club tomorrow night. Information has been given out that the weight agreed upon by these boxers is 142 pounds at 3 p. m. Patrons of the club hope that it is a reali agreement and will be kept. During the past season weight agree- ments have rarely been kept, the boxers coming into the ring at any old weight aay / pleased, and gener- ally fat. But, if Trendall and Pier- son are really going to enter the +e | weighing 142 pounds or under at 3 p, m. it is assurance enough that both men will be in fairly good con- dition, at the worst. Trendall has been in the ring so seldom in the past year and a half that no one knows how to gauge him. His last appearance here was with Patsy Drouillard of Windgor, Can- ada, in an eight-round bout that took place before the Future City A. C. on Dec. 8 of last year. On that occa- sion he claimed to be weighing about. 140 pounds. He was in fairly good condition, but not at his best. How- ever, Trendall won the bout on points, but he had to fight hard, and in the second round was nearly knocked out by a hard right half swing that landed fairly on the jaw. Two months before Drouillard boxed Trendall he had boxed Lee Kelly a draw, but was fat and out of condition. .When he came back to box Trendall, however, the Cana- dian was in good condition and a far better-looking boxer than when he appeared against Kelly. | Here’s a Line on Trendall. The foregoing gives a line on what may be expected tomorrow night if Trendall is in condition. Kelly boxed Pierson here twice, the first on April 6 of this year and the sec- ond time on April 27. The first was a draw, while in the second instance I gave Kelly the decision as the win- ner rs a small margin. Many who saw the bout believed that a draw would have been equitable, and a few thought Pierson was the winner. Therefore, judging by his bouts ‘with Kelly, Pierson must be in about the same class as Drouillard. Trendall beat Drouillard when the latter was in good condition. Kelly drew with Drouillard when the latter was in poor condition. Trendall has beaten both Drouillard and Kelly, and the latter has boxed Pierson to a standstill. Trendall is a better boxer than Drouillard, Kelly or Pierson, but he is not so rugged as they are. Tren- dall 1s a good straight punc*ed and a punishing boxer. The others are sluggers with hard wallops, and are all gluttons for punishment, It re- quires speed, cleverness and good condition to beat the latter sort. Trendall has the cleverness, put whether he retains the speed and is in good condition remains to be seen. The writer has followed Trendall closely for years and has seen him come into the ring when he was not at his best, but has never seen him eomne into the ring in very poor con- on. Harry Idle Too Long? In the years 1912 and 1913 Tren- dall was a busy boxer and looked like a near champion, but since that time the intervals between his bouts have been too long to leave him at his best, and it is doubtful if he can be anywhere near the form he displayed when boxin such men as Tillie Beecher, Wille Ritchie, “Young” Saylor, Grover Hayes, Phil Brock, Eddie Murphy, Packey McFarland here on the night of Dev. 4, 1913. Pierson has pleased in his two ap- MAY BEAT PIERSON} == -6T1 -440 -40T .560 . 357 NATIONA!. LEAGUE.

The Kansas City boxer is of rolly-polly build and always gives the impression of being fat, but he tears through eight rounds with as much vigor as the well-conditioned, slender-looking boxer, and gives am- ple evidence of strength and endur- ance. He smiles at punches that bounce off him, but would put other men out, and is always dangerous because of his own wicked wallop. Leo Kelly found out something about that in the fourth round of their last bout. There seems to be no doubt that Trendall and Pierson should put u an interesting bout, and Trendall will be closely watched by the “railbirds”’ for signs of going back, if there are any. = —— . a + — .

He had a run-in with the ‘‘old heads,”’ so he fired ‘em. He sent Art Hofman, who refused to work, to Buffalo, Jim Delahanty to the Colonial League, the dumping ground for the Feds, owned by R. B. Ward, and utherwise got rid of excess baggage. Magee figures he now has a pennant club. He has four of the league’s lead- ing hitters in himself, Kauff, Cooper and Westerzil, not to mention Steve Evans who wields a wicked stick. He's shy of pitchers, but figures his hitters will car- ry the club. And if he wins a pennant they'll have to build an addition to Cin- cinnati to hold him. He'll push Garry Herrmann into the Rhine and the Reds off the sport pages. Wait and see. MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION. STANDING OF THE TEAMS. Mercantile League. 4 Ww. i. Pect.!

Knox, vice president of the F. W. Woolworth Co., chairman of the board of directors of the Marine National Bank of Buffalo, and prominently iden- tified with a score of other business and finanical concerns, Is dead here. Starting life with neither capital nor prospects, Mr. Knox died one of the wealthiest men of the country. He was born in Russell, St. Lawrence County, N. Y., in 1861. He started his career as clerk in a store at Hart, Mich. From there he went to Reading, Pa., where, with his cousin, F. W. Woolworth, he opened a 5 and 10 cent store.

ACQUITS MOTHER-IN-LAW She Is a “Dear, Sweet Old Lady” and ‘Most Excellent Cook,’’ Daughter-in-Law Declares. A wide discrepancy marked the state- ments this morning of Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Ohmann-Dumesnil, 3966 Lincoln ave- nue, in relation to a report that they had become reconciled and that the noted skin specialist was about to drop the divorce suit he filed last week. Mrs. Ohmann-Dumesnil said they had talked it over and each was sorry, but the doctor declared he did not intend to abandon the suit. The wife told a reporter that she had visited her husband's lawyer and tok him her husband's charges that she was of a nagging and quarelsome dispo- sition were untrue and unprovable. She and the doctor has been occupying separate rooms in their house since the suit was brought. Not Affected by “13” Superstition. Although she was quoted recently as saying she was “Irish and _ supersti- tious,’’ she declared this morning that she was not at all disturbed by the fact that the divorce suit was filed on the thirteenth day in a month of the thir- teenth year of her married life with Dr Ohmann-Dumesnil. Several times she spoke of the physi- clan as ‘‘a thorough gentleman.” Asked if she thought.she and her husband could love each other again, the wife replied it was possible, although she said she ‘‘didn’t believe in anyone giv- ing you a cut in the head and then of- fering you a plaster.” Dr. Ohmann-Dumesnil, when seen at his office in the Times Building, was emphatic in his denial that there had been a reconciliation. He said his wife had asked him about it this morning, but added: “The suit has been filed and it’s going through.’’ No Fault in Mother-in-Law. A short time after the suit was filed Mrs. Ohmann-Dumesnil was quoted as having attributed most of her domestic unhappiness to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Celeste Dumesnil, 8 years old, who lives at the son’s home. The wife was said to have complained that Mrs. Dumesnil addressed her as “Old Irish,”’ embar- rassed and humiliated her by talking French to the doctor, although the wife does not understand that language, and criticising Mrs. Ohmann-Dumesnil’s cooking. Saturday night Mrs. Ohmann-Dumes- nil told a reporter that she had no fault to find with her mother-in-law, whom she described as a “dear, sweet old lady,’ and as a “most excellent cook.” REFUSES TO RESIGN IN ADVANCE, LOSES JOB AS DEPUTY ASSESSOR William J. Mockler Dropped by Schram; 11 Others Accerted to the New Requirement. City Assessor Schramm, it was learned today, has required the 122 men selected by him for appointment “as Deputy A«- sessors to sign resignations, with the dates blank, in advance of their ap- pointment. The reason for this unusual) arrangement, he told a Post-Dispatch reporter today, is to “avoid the painful duty of dismissing anyone who might prove incompetent.” This requirement became know” through the refusal of William J. Mock- ler, one of the 12 men selected from a list of 20, to accept the place under such conditions. Mockler was a District Aas- sessor from 1908 to 1911. He signed one of the resignations the other day, bu- today he went to Schramm and asked for its return, saying his self-respect would not permit him to agree on such an arrangement. Schramm returned the paper which Mockler had signed, and told him that he was eliminated from the list of those chosen. Under the new charter, the Assessor has the power to remove ua deputy, with or without cause, but the person removed has the right to demand that the reasons for the removal be filed in writing. This would not be required, apparently, if the removal took the form of acceptance of a voluntary resigna- | tion. WILL BUY BOOTS IN ST.

NIGHT WATCHMAN DIES IN FIRE IN A CARPENTER SHOP Flames Spread to Adjoining Dwellings and Six Families Are Driven From Homes. —_—_—__ rn ip Hafner. ¢38 vears old, of 371 Pope avenue, was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the carpen- ter shop of Thompson & Kennedy at 697 and 609 Pope avenue about 11:30 o'clock last night. Hafner was night watchman and slept in the building. Six families were driven from their homes by the flames. Edward Spies of 615 Pope avenue tried to break into the shop to res- cue Hafner but was blocked by. the flames which had enveloped. the building before discovery. The fire, which was of undeter- mined origin, started in a frame shed in the rear of the brick shop and, fanned by a brisk north wind, spread to adjoining property rapidly. Thao homes which were partly destroyed were frame structures. The firemen estimated the damage to buildings at $10,000 and the loss on furniture at about $5000. A horse valued at $35, belonging to Clarence Snarun, was burned. ——— - —— ——~ Turns the Trick New springy rubber, with its bounce and strength preserved by our method of curing, toughened and reinforced by our vulcaniz- ing process and fortified by our extra non-skid tread, makes band LonocesTr They dodge blowouts, side- step friction, pass up the re- air man and ease-up on your ire costs; if they don’t, we make it square. **lf it’s RED, it’s an EMPIRE’’ EMPIRE RUBBER & TIRE CO.

ANTWINE ON GERMANY’S ANSWER. LMOST everybody in the hills came down to A the store to see if there were any news from Berlin, but Mr. Antwine regretted to report that there was none. ‘*I can tell you about what it will be, though,’’ the philosopher said. ‘‘Germany is not going to aban- don her submarine policy without first trying to use it for diplomatic trading purposes in getting rid of the British blockade of German ports; but she will quit blowing up noncombatants of neutral nations, I think, and may be said already to have given that part—of her policy up. I notice the Transylvania, another Cunard liner carrying American passengers, has safely reached port on the other side; and the danger of being blown up on this trip has, I take it, been about done away with by the tremendous out- break of indignation which followed the destruction of the Lusitania. ‘‘What we shall have, in my opinion, is a long series of diplomatic exchanges in which Germany will back down little by little from an untenable position. She cannot continue outraging interna- tional conceptions of morality and humanity, and will not try to do so now that she has learned how far from agreeing with her the wide world is. The Germans will need the friendship of the world after the war, and if they have already set out to regain ———, Written ar a ee: POST-DISPATCH ~ Clark McAdams . it, they are only doing what is necessary for them as a nation. I think we will have warlike utterances, but that is about all. Germany is wrong. Sh2 can’t stick to that. Nobody can.”’ THE REPUBLIC OF PORTUGAL. HE republic of Portugal is fortunately not supervised and regulated by the Monroe Doctrine and can do as it pleases. It is pleased at this time to engage in a revolu- tion, and the Government is, for the time being at least, hiding out. Like most young republics, Portugal votes with powder and shot, and an election is a fairly sanguinary matter. We are not yet wholly informed as to the casualties in the present affair, but they were heavy enough to impress the minority with the wisdom of biding its time, and it is unlikely that there will be another recourse to the polls until a sufficient time has elapsed to enable the need for another upheaval to make itself felt. What Portugal needs is a free and well-divided press. We have found this practicable in our own republic, and recommend it. There is more satis- factory action in a good letter column than there is in an army and navy, and once a republic has learned to do it the completeness with which editorial lead- ers take the place of military leaders is perhaps the most surprising political phenomenon of our times. We hope to see this truth find lodgment there, and that very soon. To shoot up a good old town like Lisbon is reactionaryism of the most pronounced sort. Illustrating the unusual manner in which St. Louis fortunes are made, a local hotel man has left an estate of a million dollars.

He owed her to a chair. “Il am an attorney, Miss,”” he said. “Can I be of service to you?” “I hope you can,” replied Eloise, and she handed him her card. “I have come to the city to see my guardian, Or rather the man in charge of the estate of my dead uncle. My friends fear he is not—that is, attending to the affairs of my brother and myself as well as he should. I have tried all the morning to reach him in his of- fice, but have not succeeded.”’ If Eloise had not been so confused, she would have observed a strange expression come over the face of. her companion. He appeared about to break out into speech. Then he bit his lips, looked startled, then serious, and finally said: “I shall be pleased to have you state your case, Miss Thayer.”’ Eloise did so. She was too gentle- hearted to accuse Mr. Rolfe of deliber- ate fraud, but she made a clear, plain Statement of the circumstances. “If you will leave your present city address, I will look up this matter and advise you this evening,” he said. Eloise went home, feeling that she had placed her business in competent hands. “So intelligent looking! He just seemed to see through the case in a flash,” Eloise told her landlady.

He has not given you his full name—it is Adrian dwards Rolfe. I have been foolish and extravagant. Some ready cash had tc be obtained to lift me out of my troubles. The money due you and what Rolfe has kindly added, about saved me,’’ and a full explangtion followed. “What can you think of me,.

Poor Gretchen went about her task in a sad way, for her wid- owed mother was ill, the rent was due and the landlord had threatened to put them out of the house into the rain. Presently the poor mother went to sleep, so Gretchen took a pail and started out in the cold rain to the spring for water. As she bent over the pool she heard a queer sound and glanced around. There on 4 rack was a very strange creature dancing about in a frantic fashion and waving its hands as if in great distress. It was about a fcot high and dressed in a shimmering green, which shaded off into a deep brown, and the gown was all cut in one piece, like a clown’s suit. The funny little man seemed in such pain that Gretchen stopped and asked what was the trouble. “Trouble? Why lots of it,” wept the tiny creature. “You know we are trolls and live in the big rocks un- der the hill. I am the nurse to the king’s baby and something awful has happened, so I ran away.” “What was it?” asked Gretchen kindly. “Well, when the baby was asleep in the cradle a man passed above our rock chamber and a link from an iron chain he carried fell inside.” “I don’t see how that was any harm,” laughed Gretchen. “Of course you don’t,” retorted the troll, in anger. “You mortals are too stupid to see anything Don't you know-that no fairy or troll can touch iron, and there is a big iron ring lying right now in the baby’s crib. If he wakes and touches it he will die. I am afraid to go near it, ana the king is away with the rest of my people.” “If that is all,” replied the girl, kindly, “I will go get the ring.” Te a A ae ae arn A i Burning, Sweaty or Sore Feet Don’t endure foot Guickest and surest remedy known: “Two tablespoonfuls of Calocide com- pound in warm foot bath.” This gives instant relief; corns and callouses can be peeled right off; excess sweating or tea- derness is overcome and bunions reduced.

A “Decorated”? War Horse. RUSSIAN artillery horse won a bronze medal at Plevna. Orders were given for some ammunition wag- ons to be hurried to a spot that meant crossing the enemy's zone of fire. Aj) the time shells were crashing among the horses, bringing them down in heaps and frightening such as escaped. Times without number did the Rus- sian drivers, sparing neither whip or spur, attempt to urge the horses for- ward, but they stood cowed and shiver- ing with fright. Some were blindfold- ed; but the effect was the same, and only one horse showed any willingness to go. Thereupon the driver Jumped down and, cutting the traces of the oth- er horses, drove the willing one at full gallop through the fire. The wagon passed through without exploding and after the war the horse was decorated in the manner described and the driver promoted.

OR no sooner had he taken it in his hand than it Jumped out and began to beat him. Whack! Whack! Whack! it went over his head and shoulders, till he was black and blue from bruises, but still it kept up. The man ran out of the house howling with ypain, but the stick pursued him, beating him at every step. On he fled, the stick after him, but when he got in the front of the trols rock home the stick suddenly darted back into the hole, and the manl| hobbled on home, so beaten that he had to remain in bed for a mcenth. But in the little cottage in which Gretchen lived there was a great happi- ness. For the huge lump of gold was great riches and the girl sold it for er.ough to move far away from the un- kind landlord, away to a beautiful, new home with gardens and plenty of room for her mother to stroil around in the flelds, while the girl worked over her poultry and flowers. MONG the manuscripts preserved in the state archives at Washing- ton is an old copy book written when he was but 14 years old, by the man for whom the city was named. Most interesting of all the memoranda set down carefully in the boyish hand- writing are what George Washington quaintly called “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Con- versation.”” And one of these rules ts, “Be not forward, but friendly and courteous; the first to salute, hear and answer; and be not pensive when it ts time to converse.” If as a boy he studied such maxims, do you wonder that Washington was all nis life noted for his fine manners? The rules of courtesy were thought to be a very important part of a gentleman's education in the eighteenth century. A man Was regarded ignorant and il] bred if in his intercourse with the world he omitted certain Httle acts of politeness. What gentleman of the old school ever permitted himself to remain seated when ladies were standing or to smoke in their presence without first asking per mission? When they were invited out, our an- ‘estors were brought up to believe that due respect to the hgst and hostess de- mand that each gu made himself as agreeable as possible; hence the quaint maxim copied out so carefully by the young George Washington: ‘Be not pensive when it is time to converse.’’ Fiction _and TimelyTopics f Old-Fashioned Courtesy and girls were told to “mind their mane vers” if perhaps the “dominic” schoolmaster or any one authority spoke to they were, would be out of more strenuous times, Yet reason why our young people’s man should not be as good, if of necessity less formal, than those of our ancestors, If children are taught to be deferen- tial to their elders, to be polite and generous to their playfellows, and are instructed in all the small courtesies of the table and drawing room preseribed by etiquette, they will have been given a heritage by their parents that will be of inestimable value in after life.

ELY-WALKER DRY GOODS CO. SAINT LOUIS May 17th, 1915 David May, Esq., President, Famous-Barr Co., St. Louis, Mo. Dear Mr. May:- From the figures that I have before me, it appears that the total purchases of your store of the Hargardine-McKittrick Dry Goods Co. stock will reach upwards of $125,000.00. | This I believe to be the largest straight sale of dry goods ever made in the history of the trade. Being familiar with the details of this transaction and the prices which you bought these goods, you should be able to offer your customers the greatest opportunity for saving money they have ever enjoyed, and I predict that your sale of this merchandise will be an event unequaled in your many years of successful business experience. Sincerely yours, (Signed) D. R. CALHOUN, President Ely-Walker Dry Goods Co.

On June ll, Lee said in a letter to Rockefeller: ‘“T am inclined to think that at the moment the best thing we can do would be to give the letter from Gov.

~ AMERICANS APPEAL | T0 THE KAISER IN \etpexe pr BELGIUM'S BERALE Men of Prominence in United States Ask Remission of War Indemnities. —_—— “a PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—A memo- rial signed by Americans of prominence has been addressed to Emperor William of Germany asking the remission fur the present at least of war indemnities imposed upon cities and provinces of Belgium. It says in part: To his majesty, William II, Emperor of Germany—Greeting: We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States of America, recalling witn pleasure the long friendship that has existed between Germany and the United States of America, most respect- fully address your imperial majesty upon a matter which we believe to oe of the first importance at this trying time. Remission of War Indemnities. We most respectfully petition your imperial majesty, and through you the German Imperial Government, that as an act of clemency, there may be, for the present at least, a remission of the war indemnities that have been imposed on cities and provinces in Belgium. If this petition should be granted by the considerate act of your imperial majesty and the Government of the German Empire, we believe that it would not only be of immense benefit to the suffering Belgians, but also that it would be of tho hignest :nterest of the great people over whom your im- perial majesty bears rule. We also believe that such action would create a most favorable’ im- pression among the people of the United States of America, irrespective of their views as to the moral and political We trust that this petition, coming from us as it does, out of a sentiment of pity for human suffering, so deep that it transcends wide differences of opinion on other qhestions, may arouse a kindred feeling in the heart of your imperial majesty, and on the part of the Government of the great German people, of which you are the exalted head, and that this act of mercy may shed a ray of light over the darkness of the world now clouded by war.

Private cables reported some further sell- ing of confiscated cotton in Liverpool which may have accounted for the decline Ir that raarket but sentiment here as to political conditiora appeared io be taore optimistic and the early advanco was nromoted by the firmer ruling of the spot market. Favorable weather reports se»med to restrict buving on the advance. however, and general business was very quiet. The market continued steady during the early afternoon, with active months selling about to 13 points net higher on further scattered covering or local trade buying. Pri- vate wires from San Francisco sav that over 4, les of cotton are reported there awaiting shipment to the Orient. he clor- ine was stendy. Snot cotton sacet : middling uplands, 9.@3c.

Aassertions were received that Hessian fly was in every field in the western part of the State and that a heavy reduction of yield could appar- ently not be established Widespread frost over the spring crop belt tended further to strengthen the market. After opening *¢ off to a like advance, prices scored a ma- terfal: gain all around. Corn ascended with wheat. At first, how- ever, the market was heavy owing to favor- able crop reports and because of easy ca- les. Opening prices. which were Mec to *e lower, were followed by a rally to well above Saturday’s night level. UNLISTEts SECURITIES. maported by Altheimer & Rawlings Inv. Co., 7 North Broadway.

You thought yours was an isolated case, perhaps—— and instead you found yourself one of the thousands being directed to better digestion, strengthened nerves and reinvigorated energy by the upbuilding and tonic effects of Sanatogen. But it is not a surprise to us. We know Sanatogen is most—and best— advertised by word of mouth. The use of Sanatogen is spread broadcast by the good it does. Its users are its friends— sincere, enthusiastic, grateful. Else why should so many famous John Burroughs, Gilbert Parker, La ple—like y Somerset, Colonel Watterson, Rear Admiral Rechen. for instance—people whose very names instill confi- dence—be so willing to tell over their own sig- natures of the good Sanatogen did them? Why should more than 21,000 physicians write, as they have written, so sincerely, often even enthusi- astically of their belief in Sanatogen? But—if you know you need the help that Sana- togen gives—why should you wait for a friend to recommend it to you? Surely the overwhelming testimony in behalf of San- atogen should convince Prof. Thomas B. Sitill- man, M.S.PA.D.,thewell- known research chemist of New York, writes: ““The chemical union of the constituents of Sanatogen isa true one, representative of the highest skillin the of a product containing phos- phorus fn the organic phos. phate condition, and so com- bined that digestion and as- | similation of Sanatogen are } rendered complete with the greatest ease. tion you that it will help you, Senatogse sald by ed yy druggists 00 up.
