BOOTY SAID TO BE $90,000 Missouri Woman Declared to Have Witnessed the Tragedy —Called to Testify. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. DES MOINES, Io., July 9.4-A tradi- tion of outlawry and buried gold, which has been told in Southwest Iowa for aimost a half-century, has suddenly taken the form of an actual charge against real persons as the result of action by Attorney-General Cosson and the prosecuting authorities of Taylor County. John and Henry Damewood were ar- Huntsman, 77 years old, and Sam Scrivner, 7% years old,, a cattle dealer. All were arrested as the result of an investigation into the supposed murde:, in .1%8, of a wealthy cattleman whose name no one appears to know, and whose treasure, $90,000, is said to have been buried on a farm near Siam, Tay- lor County. . The sole witness to the murder, who was a child at the time is is supposed to have happened, is now a woman, 6 years old, living in Quitman, Mo. Her maiden name was Maria Collins. She is now Mrs. Porter. She is said to have told Jesse and Frank James, Mis- sourl outlaws, about the _ treasure buried on her father’s farm, causing them to make several visits to Taylor County in the hope of finding it. They were not successful. Cc. A. Robbins, Assistant’ Attorney- General, announced at Villisca today that Mrs. Porter will be at Bedford next Tuesday to testify against the four men errested. Robbins said that he has absolute proof that at least $40,000 of the contents of the treasure buried on the Oollins farm near Siam, Iowa, had been dug up .,.4n the last 12 years. The Daméwoods were taken to Bedford shértiy bétoré noon today and arraigned. They pleaded not guilty and were re- leased on bonds of $5000 each. No fur- thér action was taken during the day on the cases of Huntsman and Scrivner. Sérivner, who is 75 years old, is re- puted.to be véry wealthy. He is a lead- Ing Mason in this section. Huntsman ix» a white-bearded man, 77. years old, who is said to have lost most of a for- tune he once had, in attempts to find the hidden treasure. The Damewood brothers are not so well situated finan- cially. All four men vigorously denied the charges against them. " Counterfeiters Used a Cave. The legend of the robbery and burial of the treasure is that, in 1868, a gang of five counterfeiters had its ‘“‘plant’’ on a 10-acre place in Taylor County, near Siam. Samuel Anderson occupied an adjoining cabin, and the Collins girl, with her mother, lived near. An older sister of the girl is said to have married one of the gang. A cave was the coun- terfeiters’ headquarters, the story runs. In the fall of thzt year, the story 1s, the gang learned that a wealthy cattle buyer was coming that ‘vay and that he would carry a large sum of money, for lack of banking facilities there. The visitor is said to have been waylaid, robbed and killed, and Maria Collins ‘s said to have seen his body, as the mur- derers carried it away in an old quilt. ,The men are said to have terrorized the “girl into silence. The girl is also said to have seen the chest which had contained the mur- dered man’s money, in the wagon where the robbers had placed it. It was buried near by, according to the tale, while the body was thrown into an aban- doned well. Chart Revealing Treasure Was Lost. One of the gang made out a chart showing the location of the treasure, according to the story, but the house in which they kept this chart burned be- fore the members of the gang had darod to dig up the chest. Later Samuel An- Gerson came intu possession of the lan4. Anderson has rold the investigators that he was asked, 12 years ago, tu make a search for the treasure, and he says he was digging for it, when he was stopped by the men who had started him at the work. These men, he said, then took charge of the work and refused to make any agreement with him as to a division of the money. Anderson said he decided recently to bring a civil suit for title to a one- fourth share of the money, and word of the intended suit came to the Attor- Aey-General, causing the inquiry and the arrests of Huntsman, Scribner and the Dainwood brothers. Prisoners to Be Arranged Tuesday. Jonathan J. Dark, one-time member of the gang of counterfeiters, is said to have followed Maria Collins, his young sister-in-law, to her new home in Missouri severa] years after the trag- edy, in an effort to keep her from dis- Closing the secret. He was shot by another sister, it is said, and Maria is supposed then to have tola the James boys about the treasure.

Morgan & Co. and Group of Bankers to Participate—Credit to Be for Commercial Purposes. NEW .VJRK, July 9.—Negotiations virtually have been completed here for a new French credit amounting to $20,- 000,000 to be used exclusively for com- mercial purposes. J. " Morgan & Co. and a group of national bank and trust companies will participate in the trans- action, it is stated. The loan will take the form of ac- ceptance to be drawn by French banking houses upon bankers here who are par- ties to the arrangement. The loan is to be guaranteed.by the Bank of France, and it is understood that the accept- ances are to be secured by French Treasury notes. This is one of several transactions un- dertaken here to offset the effect upon French exchange of the great expendi- tures made !y France in this country both for ordinary requirements and for war supplies. COUNT VON ZEPPELIN’S BIRTHDAY OBSERVED THROUGHOUT GERMANY Kaiser, in Message, Emphasizes Value of His Dirigibles in “War Against Engiand’—He Is 78. AMSTERDAM, July 8, via London, July §.—Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin’s seventy-eighth birthday was observed today (July 8) by celebrations in all parts of Germany, according to the dis- patches from Berlin. Count von Zeppelin, who is at Stutt- gart, convalescing from an attack of bronchitis, received several thousand tel- egrams of congratulation, including mes- sages from the Emperors of Germany and Austria and the Sultan of Turkey. The German Emperor’s message empha- sized the great value of Zeppelin diriz- ibles in the “present war against En- gland.’’ IVY SPRAYS WORN BY BELGIANS BRUSSELS, via London, July 9.—The Belgians have suddenly adopted the practice of wearing sprays of ivy as an expression of loyalty to Belgium and the allies. Gen. von Bissing, the German mili- tary Governor, a few days ago issued an order prohibiting the demonstrative display. of Belgian colors as personal adornment. It was obeyed, but the fol- lowing day almost every Belgian man, woman and child blossomed out with an ivy spray, the significance of which, in the language of flowers, is ‘‘attachment. united unto death.”’ GERMAN BEER OUTPUT REDUCED AMSTERDAM, July 9.—The German brewery associations have ordered all breweries to reduce their output of beer to 40 per cent of the normal on account of the shortage of barley. The municipalities of Berlin and Mu- nich have called special meetings of the municipal councils to discuss measures to prevent the continual increase in food prices. ee oT.

Adolph Scott-Gorden, 3% years old, of Decatur, Ill., a Wabash engineer, ap- pealed before Judge Hoaltcamp in Pro- bate Court today to press his claim to the entire estate of Randall R. Gorden, a capitalist, who died in St. Louis in September, 1912, 1a te an estate valued at $200,000. The engineer ccaelanad testimony to prove that Gorden, who was generally regarded as a bachelor, was his father. No mention was made of a son in the capitalist’s will, which left $40,000 to the First Christian Church, 3126 Locust street, and the remainder to two broth- ers, John M. and Thomas J. Gorden of Christian County, Ill.. where the capi- talist was buried. The Gorden estate has been subjected to considerable litigation. Three broth- ers not mentioned in the will filed a contest in Illinois courts, which was settled. Mrs. Maude Close of 714 Clara avenue filed a claim of $10,000 against the estate for services in nursing and caring for Gorden, and she alleged Gor- den had asked her to marry him. Juri:s in the Probate Court and Circuit Court gave her judgment for $5000, but the Circuit Court has granted a new trial. Tells of a Courtship. H. B. Dills, who lives near testified that she was the claimant's maternal aunt and that Gorden was his father. Her sister, Mary Evelyn Scott, lived with their parents at Blue Mound, Ill. In 18739, she said, Gorden courted her sister, taking her to church and entertain- ments. The witness said his sister, ac- companied by Gorden, came to her farm in December, 1879, and told that they had beén married in St. Louis. They lived at her home as man and wife for three months, she said, Gor- den paying the board and buying her sister’s clothing. Mrs. Dills said she went with her sister to their parents’ home, where the claimant was born May 6, 1880. Their parents, she said, did not know of Lvelyn’s marriage until she returned rome for the May event. The witness said her sister died wher. the claimant was 18 months old. that the claimant then lived with his grand- ricther until her death, and then iived avout with relatives. He was known as Adolph Scott, although she said her sister’s friends had called her Mra. Gorden. :; Mrs. Dilis declared she never saw yordon at the house after her sister’s death, but that once, when the claimant was 3 or 4 years old, she took him to - Decatur shoe store, by appointment with Gordon, and that Gordon met them in the store, patted the boy on the head and said, “This doy will be the only heir I'll ever have.’’ Charles M.

WASHINGTON TO GET REPLY BY SUNDAY AT THE LATEST Likely to Go Before Cabinet at Tuesday Session — Denial of Responsibility for Amer- icans’ Deaths on Lusitania Disappointing. By Associated Press. BERLIN, July 9 } —The German reply to the American note re garding the sinking of the Lusitania and submarine warfare was. delivered to James W. Gerard, the American Ambassador in Ber- — lin late last night. The note is now being translated and it will go forward to Washing- ton some time today. Certain paragraphs embodying the principal features of the German offer already have been dispatched to Washington, but the final sections of the communication probably will not be on the wire for transmission before @ late hour this afternoon. This is because the note is of cogsiderable length. m the The text of the note will meanwhile be withheld f r correspondents and permission for the transmission of summaries is withheld. This is done to give the official version the-right of way. Among the items given éut for distribution abroad today by the Overs seas News Ageney weré the following: ‘¢Political and even naval circles are beginning to tire of the dail? editorials in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung against a German-American under- standing on the submarine question. The Tages Zeitung’s attitude is con- sidered sufficient proof that such an understanding is desirable. e ‘‘The Chemnitz Socielistic newspaper, the Volksztimme, has received a letter from its editor, who is fighting with the German forces on the Eastern front, regarding the recently published peace proclamation of the Socialistie party. The editor called it not a political measure, but suicidal insanity. Germany, he said, may treat for peace whenever she pleases without fearing the convequences. On the contrary, it is only the certainty that they will have to suffer fearfully from their own acts that can bring Germany’s ene- mies to their senses, he declared.’’ Failure to Modify Note Causes Feeling of Pessimism in Capital WASHINGTON, July 9 —Delivery of Germany’s reply to the American note on submarine warfare to Ambassador Gerard in Berlin last night should bring the official text to the State Department here probably tomorrow and undoubtedly by Sunday. President Wilson is expected to return from the Summer White Houses at Cornish to lay the reply before the Cabinet at a meeting Tuesday. All officials here realize that’ there probably has been no essential change from the form in which the reply was outlined by the Berlin Foreign Office to Ambassador Gerard. On the basis of that outline, the American Government declined to engage in any supplemen- tary negotiations, which the United States could not accept without sacri- ficing many of its rights. lation as to Next Step. Meanwonile there is renewal of the ten- sion over what the next step will be, if the text of the German reply bears out the unofficial outlines, which indi- cated that it would be so unsatisfactory to the United States. Although officials would not comment, the general undertone in official quar- ters was one of disappointment. It ws evident that another criticg! stage in the relations between Germany and the United States was at hand. One course which some well informed cfficials considered probable would + to reject the German proposals and notify the Berlin Government, in effect, that the United States intended to insist on the principle of visit and search for all unarmed vessels of any nationality carrying Americans and that specific violation of those rights would deter- mine the next step in the American policy. As for the Lusitania case, however, failure by Germany to admit Hability for the loss of more than 10 American lives i¢ a phase of the situation on which there were today few suggestions as to what the United States should do. Some of the President's advisers have repeatedly counselled that the breacn of international law was so flagrant that it remained only for the United States to bave no diplomatic intercourse with the German Government, unless the intent of the act wes denied and . - a =e 3 i aes . ‘ - a Ean ican Government, since it is not consid- ered proper to notify one belligerent of the departure of another belligerent’s ship. The proposals made by the Germ man Government would not be objed- tionable, it is declared, if arranged a® between a belligerent in a modus vi- vendi or a temporary arrangement, con- cluded merely for a fixed period of time. There is no indication, however, of any disposition on the part of the allies te separate passenger and contraband trafe fic, but if proposals made in the form of suggestions to Great Britain had been conveyed by the United States it ‘es believed in well-informed quarters here that pressure might have been brought to bear by the American Government te secure their adoption. Officials here declined to explain . mystery of the informal conferences bee tween Ambassador Gerard and officials of the German Foreign Office. They t- dicated that the message from the Am- bassador transmitting an outline of the German note did not state specifically that he had been asked to obtain the views of the American Goverar-.ent. [ft appeared that he asked ff there were any instructions and did so because the. draft was placed tn ‘vis hands in ad- vance of its completion. According te officials familiar with diplomatic prece- dent, this was nut unusual, und it was said authoritatively that Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, gave to Dr. Anton Myer Gerhard, ber fore he started for Berlin, an outline of — the American note which was not =< pleted until several days later. , ' What Von Berusterff Urged. % It is understood that Count von Berns-— torff. the German Ambassador, had Ine. baie ET os ae i

MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. to justify us in engaging the enmity of a peopie which, like ourselves, is not in the descending but the ascend- ing scale of humanity and develop- ment, civilization and culture? Favors a Business Treaty. Would not it be more rational either to influence England to give up her blockade on food stuffs, which is only tending to develop still further German economical traits, or to for- bid the export of arms and muni- tions? America is free to answer the questions as she sees fit. Neither of the two countries can hope, through fear, to gain anything of the other. Both must learn to respect one another. I have no criticism to pass on America. Il believe’ the Ameérican Government has an earnest desire to be and remain neutral in the best sense of that word, but I feel that America in its international course is now confronted by the fame problem that has occupied the American people so much in their domestic politics. Is special] privilege, private profit of certain small groups and concerns, or the benefit, welfare and happi- ness of the entire American people to be decisive in the policy of the nation? It is not a matter of getting around momentary difficulties with fine words. Both peoples need an open, sober, reasonable trade and business treaty agreement, without secrecy or back door. Whatever is done it will probably fix and determine the relations be- tween America ana Germany for more than a generation. Shall mis- trust and prejudice reign or shall there be a real friendship, founded on rational egotism and good will toward mankind? The best Germans earnestly desire and wish that together we may pre- pare the seed for the harvest of the Clippings on Murder Cases. “One clipping from the Oklahoma State University paper shows that he was instructor there and that he studi2d in .Berlin and lectured, too. The clip- pings deal with murders and with in- sanity and the treatmcnt of the insane. One is an editorial showing the danger of over-study. “The clippings are virtually all from Boston and Chicago papers, some from papers of June, 1906, date. Mrs. Muen- ter was murdered in April, 1906.’’ “To what place were addressed the letters written in July, 1906?’ was aske4. “I do not remember that,’’ Scull replie:l. ‘Some of the letters refer to a biz work of nis,’’ he continued. ‘As near as we could make out it was a thesis on the influence of Shakspeare upon Goethe.” Scull then read the headings of the clippings. None of them concerns the murder of Mrs. Muenter. One article was on insane asylums and one on the future. The masses of both coun- tries undoubtedly wish the same when they have learned to see each other in the right light. To bring them to this point ts the great duty of the press. And in this direction Herr von Wie- gand (the staff correspondent of the Post-Dispatch and New York World in Germany) has done and is doing effect of liquor in causing insanity. An- other was headed: “Chicago Lunatic at Large.”’ Then followed these captions: ‘“Pas- tor says State asylums run for the bene- fit of politicians,’’ ‘Suffers for brother's crime,”” “Innocent man made insane by conviction."" and: “Colony plan (for mildly insare.’’ Many clippings dealt with the murder of Mabel Page by a great work in that he is endeavor- ing to portray to his countrymen the Germany of reality, and that with- out distortion or glossing over. Editor Harden, whose journal is a pcelitical weekly, has urged his country t> seek a peaceable solution of the sub- marine war controversy with the United States. His influence in Germany has been in the ascendant since his exposure four years ago of the intrigues of the notrious Round Table coterie of court favorites. It was said at the time that the Crown Prince was back of these ex- posures and that his royal highness gave Harden the tnformation for critical ar- ticles. The Crown Pringe’s interest was aroused by the fact that the Kaiser him- self was said to be under the influence of the intriguers.

Recently Carranza occupied it as his official residence.

State Department officials made this ex- planation today in the light of a pub- lished .statement by Herr von Jagow, the German Foreign Minister, who laid stress on the lack of cable communica- tion as a means of an exchange of views between the American people and the German public during the submarine warfare controversy. Officials stated that Germany, in a note transmitted by Ambassador Ge- rard, proposed that the cable between the United States and Germany, which had been cut by the allies early in the war, “‘be reopened and repaired, pro- vided Great Britain consented.” Conditions That Were Suggested. The following conditions were sug- gested: ‘1. That the cable be open for all communications to American embassies Austro-Hungary. ‘?. For private and business messages such as the United States embassy and Berlin deemed proper. ‘3. For all news dispatches uncen- sored. “4. Germany agreed to pay all ex- penses in repairing and putting the ca- ble in operation, and President Wilson, if the proposition was accepted by Great Britain, was to be asked to appoint censors for the American end of the cable, which was to be used similarlv for transmission of messages by German and Austrian diplomatic officers and for private and business messages approved by the American censors, as well as rews dispatches. No Convention on Cables. The State Department submitted the German note to Sir Cecil Spring-Rice ‘he British Ambassador here, March 3. but got no reply. There is no interna tional convention governing the use of cables in time of war, the right of a belligerent to cut a cable to prever: ihe transmission of military information teing generally recognized. Minister Von Jaxeow Complains of _ Lack of Communication, BERLIN, July 9.—Gottlieb von Jagow, German Minister of Foreign Affairs. after saving that the reply to the Ameri- can note is practically complete, gave out the following statement concerning means of communication with the Unit- ed States, the slowness of which had hampered the work of preparing the communication. He said: “I see that the text of the note of the Imperial Government presented through Ambassador Gerard regard- ing the reopening of the direct cable. to the United States was published by the American papers on June 14, The American public has thus been given an opportunity to learn of the proposals of the German Government with reference to this. “Germany proposed to pay the é6n- tire expense of repairing the cable and putting it into operation, the President of the United States to be entitled to appoint censors at the American end of the cable in order to supervise all messages transmit- ted over it. You will have noticed that Germany proposed to permit news to be sent over this cable un- censored, so far as it was unprejudi- Clal to the military plan of cam- paign. News From Only One Side. “The American public has also learned that the British Government for obvious reasons has taken no notice of these proposals. Great Britain apparently does not want the people of neutral countries to be in- formed in an impartial way on the events of this great war. The rea- sons are‘not far to seek. That is why, at the beginning of’ the war, Great Britain cut the cable.

By E. Alexander Powell, A Special Correspondent of the Fost- Dispatch. | (Copyright, 1915, by Press Pub. Ce.) ON THE FRENCH BATTLE FRONT, June %, via Paris, July %.—In the last three months I have visited every sec- tor of that great line of battle which stretches its unlovely length acrogs Europe, from the channel to the Alps, like some monstrous and deadly snake. Not only have I been permitted to see a very great deal which has been denice to others, but I have learned much of what is really happening along thet battle line from the officers and men who are holding it. Now I am going back to America. When I reach there people are going to ask me ¢eftain ques- tions. As I know perfectly well what these questions will be, 1 am. going to answer them to the best ot my ability beforehand. How long is the war going to lastt I do not know. No one knows. Every officer and man with whom I have talked in three armies agrees that the spring of 1916 will see practically nv change in the western battle line. That there is to be another winter campaign is a@ foregone conclusion. Everyone ex- pects it and .- preparing for it, just as they expect another winter. The allies have ordered enormous quantities of winter clothing, and in the Argonne an:l Vosges the French soldiers are already hard at work building warm ard dry winter habitations. I might add that the Germans do not show the slightest sign of weukening. What is the cause of the present deadlock? The trenches occupied by the opposing armies are, to all intents and purposes, forts, and these forts have been rendered so nearly impreg- nable by applied science that to take them would entail a sacrifice of life which none of the warring nations can afford. Hence the armies remain hid- den and almost stationary in subter- ranean caves and labyrinths, each wait- ing for its opponent to weaken. Why have the Freneh net taken the offensivet Because the Germans are so strongly entrenched that the cost in lives of breaking through their lines would stagger the nation. If necessity required it, such a sacrifice would be made, but it is felt that it would be unjustified when shells and patience will eventually achieve the same results. “The duration of the war,” the Gen- eral commanding the French armies in Alsace said to me, “entirely depends upon how fast we can kill off the Ger- mans. Théir army has réached and passed its maximum strength, so that every soldier that wé kill makes it that much weaker. Our plan, therefore, is to kill as many as possible of the enemy while at the same time conserving our own men.” What its the condition of the French army? It could not be better. The men are keen as razors and hard aé nails. They are well officcred, well clothed, and afforded every protection that uu- man ingenuity can devise. They seem absolutely confident of ultimate suc- cess, though they adm‘; quite frankly that they have a long, hard job in front of them. What do the French think of Gen. Jeftref They do not consider him «a military genius by any means, but they have implicit confidence in him, partig- ularly the Government, which knows him to be eminently ‘“safe.”"” Were Gen. Foch, for example, to succeed to the su- preme command and achieve a striking success there would be great danger of his being hailed as “the Man on Horse- back.” Joffre does not want to be a *“‘Man on Horseback.”” He has said re- peatediy that when the war is over he wants to go fishing. He will, therefore, probably remain in supreme :ommand. How many treps has England iz Francet About 760,900. What is the condition of the British army? It is a new army. It is with- out experience, and it is without experi- enced regiments to stiffen it and give it confidence, for the regular army which England sent irito France last August has ceased to exist. The old regimental names remain. but the offi- cers and men who composed those regi- ments are today in the hospitals or the cemeteries. The losses suffered by the British army in France have been appalling. The West Kent Regiment, for example, has been three times wiped out and three times reconstityted. The Prin- cess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry landed in France 1400 strong. Today only 160 remain. The present Colonel of the October. The crying need of the British army at the moment is for trained offi- cers and noncommissioned officers. Why are the British bolding only 40 miles of battle front, as compared with 17 held by the Belgians and upward of S00 by the French? Firstly, because the British army is composed of green troops, while the Frefich ranks, thanks to the ::niversal service law, are filled with men all of whom have had three years with the colors. Secondly, because the British sector is by far the most dif- ficult portion of the Western battle front to hold, not only because of the configuration of the country, wh'‘ch offers little natural pfdtéction, but because it lies squarely athward the road to the channel ports—and it is the channel ports that the Germans are going if men and shells can get therm there. Thirdly, the fighting.is of A more desperate and relentiess nature along the British front than elsewhere, lLecause the Germans have a@ deeper hatred for the British than for all their cther enemies put together. Do the French want the United States te enter the wart Generally spéaking, they don’t care. The Government and the military authorities are afraid thet if the United States should enter the war it would result in cutting off the allies’ supplies of ammunition.

THAW ON STAND AGAIN He Tells About the Killing of Stanford White and Accuses Mrs. Merrill of Perjury. NEW YORK, July 9.—Harry K. Thaw, in the course of his second day's testi- today in the trial to determine whether he has recovered his sanity, told the story of how he killed Stan- ford White and denied that he had ever paid Susan A. Merrill large sums of money to ‘‘keep secret the names of certain persons.” He said he had shot White after he saw him move his hand toward his pocket. Thaw spoke in a tone and ap- pedred to be composed. Once or twice he answered his cross-examiner sharply. He referred to the alienists who tes- tified for the State at habeas corpus proceedings as ‘‘bug doctors.” Deputy Attorney-General Cook an- nounced at the opening of the after- noon session that he would abandon his efforts to bring Evelyn Nesbit Thaw here to testify.

Many questions were asked Thaw about his relations with Clifford W. Hartridge, a lawyer who was a met- ber of his counsel once, and Mrs. Susan A. Merrill. He said: ‘‘Mrs. Merrill com- mitted perjury in 1908 and 1909; just as ehe did here three days ago.”’ “Did you,” asked Deputy Attorney- General Cook, “pay or cause to te paid to Mrs. Merrill $2 a week over a long period of time?’ .‘‘} don't believe I did.” “How much did you pay her alto- gether?” ‘“‘Between $309 and $509.” Questioned About Killing White. Thaw was asked whether he believed himself to have been insane at the time he killed Stanford White. ‘That,’ said the witness, ‘“‘is a gues- tion that cannot be answered by one word. The question came up and the yury gave me the benefit of the doubt. In effect they evidently believed there might have heen a chance that my rea- £0n was not all that it should be.” In reply to further questions, Thaw gave correctly the date of the murder. He did not remember, just what he did all that day, but he did remember that he had carried a revolver. had been informed that ‘‘Monk”’ East- man, a New York gang leader, was after ‘him.

Saturday, July 24, being St. Louis’ first municipal Picnic day in all the city parks, the Park Department, which is getting up a prograr- fc. the day, hopes nobody will be so un-civic as to take dinner at home that evening. There is grass enough for everybody to sit on, and the birds will te glad to get the fragments of sandwiches and cake that the al fresco diners leave. But Picnic day will mean something besides eating. In fact, the eating will be a minor part, if the athletic and social events of the day go in the man- ner planned by Park Commissioner Cunliff and his aids. They intend to make the big public picnic the begin- ning of a more general use-the-parks movement. The day chosén is not the anniversary He said he of anything in particular, but if the wet weather is over by that time the picnic can be considered a celebration of its ending. If it is not over, the pic- nic may have to be postponed, but Com- missioner Cunliff hopes not, as a later date would mean that fewer persons would, be in the city. Blackberry Pie-eating Contest. Neighborhood spirit will have a large share in the picnic arrargements, and while the Park Commissioner is playing no favorites, he indicetes that it will take some hustling, on the part of other localities, to beat the Carondelet Park }program. The Tenth Ward and Dakota Park Improvement Associations, and the South End and Carondelet Business Men’s Associations, are helping to get up this program, and one of the big features will be a blackberry pie-eating contest by fat men. arthur Stoehr, president of the Tenth Ward Improve- ment Ass *ia‘'on, has promised to fur- nish the >ies. Contestants will not be permitted t. touch the pies or the dish with their hands, and they will probably be re- quired to lle down as they attack the savory pastry with their teeth. They can wear earmuffs or chauffeur’s gog- gles, if needed to keep the pie out of their eves and ears. The two business men’s associations have organized a baseball team, which has challenged the improvement asso- ciations to a game of three entire in- nings. A game of standard length will be played by the Southern § Athletic Club and the Southern Undertakers. A drum and bugle corps will be at large, and there will be canoe races and canoe tilting.

At Forest Park the Mounted District police will have'a drill, and the Fire Department handball experts will con- test, and a cricket, as well as baseball and tennis, will be played. The fily- casting contingent will give an exhibi- tion of skill in the grand basin, and there will be band music and mega- phone octette singing at the Pageant gite. At the height of the fun the City Club will make an automobile inspec- tion of the picnic region.

She said he kept the articles in a trunk at his boarding house and that he also spoke about having a will in the trunk which provided for his son. There was also a tintype picture of the claimant’s mother, the witness said. “Take Care of That Boy.” On cross-examination, Mrs. Close ad- mitted she had suggested to the claim- ant that he had a right to the estate. She said she did this after the will con- test filed by the testator’s brothers was settled a few months ago. She ex- plained she supposed the claimant was one of the parties to the suit, as she had been told he would be taken care of, but found nothing had been done for him. Milton Bevens, a painting contractor of Decatur, testified that in 1990 he em- ployed the claimant to do some painting on a hotel and the latter was working about 60 feet up when Gorden happened along. “When Gorden saw where the young man was working,’ Barnes testified, ‘he said to me: “Take care of that boy —he’s mine’ ” Adolph Scott Gorden told a Post-Dis- patch reporter that, while he knew who his father was from general conversa- tion, Mrs. Close supplied him with the most convincing proof.

Se VISCOUNT HALDANE BITTERLY ASSAILED BY LLOYD-GEORGt Northcliffe Press Also Joins in Attacking What It Calls Plot to Restore Him to Cabinet. LONDON, July 9.—The official an- nouncement made by David Lioyd- George, the Minister of Munitions, on July 7 regarding Viscount Haidine, ex- Lord Chancellor and Secretary of War, and the question of the supply of mun:- tions, has started a political sensation in the United Kingdom of the first orde: and it is being made the most of by the Northcliffe press to prevent what is de- clared to be intrigue’ to get Lord Hal- dane back into the Cabinet. Premier Asquith’s remarkable tribuie to Viscount Haldane, which was read at a meeting of the National Liberal Club, was regarded as paving the way for some attempt of this kind. Although most people take the view that it is in- advisable during the progress of the war to have these personal questions threshed out publicly, a small body of politicians is trying to force a parlia- mentary discussion. Sir Henry Dalziel, Liberal member for Kirkcaldy Burghs, has given notice that he will ask Premier Asquith in the House of Commons on Monday whether disclosures of the proceedings of a con- fidential committee of the Cabinet were made with the Premier’s authority and it seems as though the Government wil! hardly be able to avoid a public discus- sion. May Give Day to Discussion. Premier Asquith will be asked to grant one day for a full discussion of the causes responsible for deficiency of mu- nitions. Lord Haldane has kept a completa silence regarding the controversy. Lloyd-George led the attack, which now has been taken up by the North- cliffe papers, which are operating in complete unison with the Minister of Munitions. It is one of the strangest alliances that the whirling of politics has ever brought about. Lord Haldane is a great protagonist of the voluntary system, and. Lloyd- George, smarting under his recent fail- ure to stampede the country into com- pulsion, probably considers that Hal- dane’s return to office would balk fur- ther efforts in the conscription line. It is not considered a healthy sign of the stability of coalition when Lloyd- George chooses rather gratuitously to administer a public affront to Haldane, s0 soon after the latter was the re- cipient of such praise from Premier As- quith. In fact, it was a slur on Asquith as well as Haldane, giving fresh color to the stories of an alleged intrigue to get Asquith out of the premiership, which however, is believed to have no more chance of succeeding now than when tried three weeks ago. The Northcliffe press publishes an ap- peal which it urges its readers to sign and send to the Government, protesting against the readmission of Viscount Haldane to the Cabinet. The Daily Mail this morning started a campaign in favor of forming what it calls a “‘Pecple’s Committee’ composed of business men of high reputation who never have been connected with Parlia- ment or party journalism, with powers to call for evidence and report to Par- liament as to “What Servants of the State, by whose negligence or incompe- tence the fate of the empire has. been endangered are still holding office un- der the Government.”’ Resignation May Come, The Daily Chronicle says: ‘‘In some quarters it is rumored that if Major General Stanley von Donop, Master- General of Ordnance, does not resign, David Lloyd-George will, and that if Major-General von Donop does, Fiell Marshal Lord Kitchener also will go.”’ The controversy has also developed the fact that the mysterious Cabinet Mu- nitions Committee was headed by Lord Kitchener. The Daily News declares that more than 200 Liberal members of Parliament have signed a tribute to Lord Haldane for his past services, which will be pre- sented to him next week, and adds: “The secret history of the quondam Munitions Committee is obviously not the proper subject for a controversy. It is a matter worthy of note, however, that the chairman of the committee was neither Lord Haldane nor Mr. Lloyd- George, but was Lord Kitchener.” OLD CANNON FALLS FROM STAND \Boy’s Thumb Crushed by Civil War Relic at Armory.

Ten-cent NATIONAL BISCUIT COM PANY SERENE : SCOGGIN REFUSES TO TELL WHAT HE DID With MONEY Caruthersville Bank Employe, Short About $25,000, Says He Has Nothing Now. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. CARUTHERSVILLE, Mo., July 9.— Expert accountants, assisted by a State bank examiner last night began check- ing up the records of the Peoples’ bank here for the last five years to un- ravel the system used by Claude F. Scoggin, assistant cashier, who has ad- mitted discrepancies in his accounts amounting to around $25,000. The work is expected to take several: weeks, for the account of each depositor will have to be examined. This has been made necessary by the systern of bookkeeping employed at the bank. This method, in its essentials, was simply each evening to compare the cash on hand with the day’s depos- its and withdrawals. The result is that in the face of an ascertained shortage of $22,600 and a confessed shortage of $25,000, it is impossible in many instances to say which checking accounts have suffered. The gloom over Caruthersville is ap- parent even to a stranger. Business men not directly concerned are afraid, coming on the heels of the looted Pemis- cot County bank scandal, it will “hurt the town.”’ Officers of the bank wan- der about the streefs discussing the affair mournfully and wondering what on earth could have become of the money.

Although the bank 1s solvent and the depositors seem to be wholly protected, the institution probably will remain closed for some time and in the hands of a special agent appointed by the State Banking Commissioner. When it is reopened it probably will be reergan- ized into a national bank. Although Scoggin professes to believe he will get out of jail on bond in a few days, even his friends say they do not know where he will find bondsmen. Two business men have agreed to go bail for him if he will tell v-hat he did with the money. Scoggin persists, however, in his declaration, that he hasn't a dol- lar of it and doesn't know for what he spent it. “If Scoggin had dented he took the money,’ said 2. L. Ward, attorney for the bank, today, ‘“‘half the men of Ca- ruthersville would have been eager to go on his bond. Indeed, [ scarcely would have believed him guilty myself if he had not confessed. Both he and his father before him have had unimpeach- able reputations for integrity, and Claude has lived in Caruthersville all his life. But in our minds his refusal to give any account of what he has done with the money, after his confes- sion that he took it, Js of sinister sig- nificance.”’ AUG Ee 0 Sympathy for Family. While indignation against Scoggin is general in the town, public sympathy for members of his family is keener than ordinary in such cases. His fa- ther, who died last March, was for many years a sort of father confessor t» the business men of the city. He was an expert accountant, and whenever a firm desired an audit of its books he was called upon. It was his custom, in going over accounts, to give business advice to his employers. He would frankly tell them, for instance, that they were paying too much for one com- modity or charging too much for an- other; that one system of management was poor and another was good. Almost invariably his advice was heeded. In the course of time his honesty became proverbial. His son, Claude, seemed to be following in his steps, as he was quiet, orderly in his personal habits and so conservative in his ex- penses that his friends jestingly ac- cused him at times of being ‘tight.’’ Vhen the bank was organized the elder Scoggins was made its bookkeeper, suc- ceeding James J. Long, who became cashier. He took Claude into the bank with him, and, when he retired, the job passed naturally to his son. Claude attended the Caruthersville schools and afterward went to Missouri University. After his college days he married®a girl who also had lived in Caruthersville since childhood and who came of a respectable family. They have one baby. The wife was visiting relatives in San Antonio, Tex., when the recent exposure came. She returned to Caruthersville last night, almost in a state of col- lapse, and has denied herself to all visitors. Scoggins’ mother, a sweet- faced, gray-haired womdn, is also com- pletely grief-stricken. ‘My head is vowed to the dust in EEE EEE a HERE'S use for Uneeda Biscuit every day, in every home, in every street, im every town. are uniformly fresh, uni “8 uniformly NATIONAL BISCUIT , 1BANK EMPLOYE WHO ADMITS ceed CLAUDE F. SCOGGIN, sorrow,” she said, yesterday. “This has been a cruel year. Only a few months ago I buried my husband, a man against whose good name the faintest suspicion was never whispered. Now this has come, I don’t know what has become of the bank's money any more than anybody else.”’ The mother has offered to help the authorities in every way possible to find out what went with the missing funds. She has pleaded with her son to tell, if he really took it, where it is or what he has done with it. When a Post-Dispatch reporter saw Scoggins in his cell, he was lying upon a hammock by the side of another pris- oner and with a third on a hammock slung above them. He was pale, un- shaven, nervous. He talked with what appeared repressed excitement, seem- ing particularly anxious to know what was being said against him and how the public thought of his affair. He reproached himself for having made any statements whatever to the officials of the bank and declared that even in the face of what he had sald it would be impossible to prove that he had taken any of the money. He denied that he had admited a shortage, but said he had told there was a “‘discrep- ancy’’ in his accounts. The reporter had seen a copy of a contract in which Scoggin had agreed to turn over his home, worth about $2500, and some other property to certain bank officials who had put up $4000 to keep the capital from being impaired because of the shortage. In this contract there Was an express admission that Scoggin was short about $25,000 and it had been signed by him and attested by a notary. Says He Has No Money. Asked about this, Scoggin said he was tadgered by so many questions by the bank’s directors that he scarcely paid any attention to the wording of the con- tract. Attorney Ward afterward denied this. He declared the contract was made on the day after Scoggin had voluntarily admitted a e shortage to Cashier Long and declares that he ex- pressly asked Scoggin the amount before he wrote it into the contract and made it clear that the word used was “‘short- age” and not “discrepancy.” Scoggin said he expected relatives to rrovide money for him to fight a pro- secution. He denied that he had a collar of the bank’s money or knew where it was or had any accomplice. He admitted there was a shortage but re- fused to estimate it. “Tl am young,”’ he concluded with a laugh. “I want to do the right thing. And as long as there is life there is hope.”’ Sheriff Stubblefield yesterday denied all extraordinary privileges to the prisoner. Before that he had been the recipient of food, flowers, books and meny visits. Yesterday it was decreed that he should have only the privileges accorded to other prisoners and visitors were denied him. ‘BUTCHERTOWN MAYOR’ THINKS HEAT CAUSED HIS HAD FALL Ben Riew’ Skull Fractured—Had Been Doing Much Walking, bat Day Was Cool. years old, of 3755 Cote self-styled ‘Mayor of Butchertown,” is at the city hos- pital with a fractured skull, the result of a fall on the sidewalk at Cote Bril- ante and Prairie avenue, yest“sday afternoon. The only cause for tl +11 that he can reason out is that he was overcome by the heat. The thermom- eter registered 70 degrees. Ries is salesman for a wholesale gro- cery house and had been walking a good deal and he thinks it must have been the heat, although it was a cool day, that caused him to faint.

Only brief excerpts from Count Reventiow’s article were cabled to this country at tae time. The Tages Zeitung has been suspended since by the German Government ‘be- cause of its continued hostile attitude toward the United States. The Berlin authorities have been painstakingly careful not to let coptes of this and certain other papers go beyond the Ger- objection to their present method of attack against the trade of their ene- mies lies in the practical impossibility of employing submarines in the destruc- tion of commerce without disregarding those rules of fairness, justice and hu- manity which all modern opinion re- gards as imperative.

One can quite es easily imagine the text, so far as :t treats of the matter itself, to be a speech by Mr. Asquith in the British House of Commons. “<The American Government, in the tene of deep disapproval, demands the discontinuance of our submarine war against British commerce. It emphasizes its non-recognition of the German speci- | fication of certain waters as constituting a war sone. “We take the liberty to call the at- tention of the American Government to the fact that the declaration of a war zone is not a German invention, but that the British admiralty was the first t» declare certain seas to constitute a war zone, that besides it laid a tremen- cous mine field in the open sea, thereby closing the ‘sacred seas.’ The American Government has no objection of ¢@on- sequence to register against these Eritish measures hitherto unheard of.

How can the American Government maintain, for — instance, that the Lusitania was a jharmléss merchant vessel? ‘“‘as for the rest, we confine ourselves today to this statement of facts: ‘The submarine warfare of the Ger- man é@mpire against British commerce is neither play nor a shy attempt with the mental clause that if fhe United States should resent it it would quickly ‘cease.’ “Our submariné warfare is a& méans to which Great Britain has forced us by her closing of the North Sea in viola- tion of international law, by her total disregard of all international conven- tions by her war of starvation against the German people. “The German submarine war was not an improvised thing.

Mrs. Eva Rodykeit of 4128 Obear ave- nue, held a conversation over the tele- this morning with Lawrence Weaver, 20 years old, of 1416 Black- stone avenue for the purpote of detain- ing him while a policeman went from tourteenth and Chestnut streets t9 Sixth and St. Charles to arrest him. The ruse worked. Mrs. Rodykeit called a policeman to the Regent Hotel about 9 a. m. to re- port the disappearance of a diamond ring valued at $120, and two pawn tickets for jewelry valued at $500 While she was describing the jewelry the tele- phone rang. “The man who stole my ring is on the other end or the telephone now,” she told the policeman in a whisper. She learned the man was at Sixth ond St. Charlies and held him in con- versation while the policeman hurried there on a street car. When Weaver was searched at Cen- tral Station a diamond ring identified ty Mrs. Rodykeit as her property was found in his pocket. He denied hav- ing taken it from her and said he did not know how it came into his posses- sion. He also denied taking her pawn tickets. Mrs. Rodykeit told the police she and her husband, Theodore Rodykeit, em- ployed by the Terminal Railroad Asso- ciation, separated on account of Weaver. THREE BOYS, YOUNGEST 7, CONFESS TO ROBBERIES They Disclose Hiding Place of Loot Which They Had Buried in Hillis at Belleville. When Carl Sowman, 12 years old; Roy Frazier, 11, and Fred Cramer, 7, robbed the home of George Neidhardt at 13819 Lebanon avenue, in Belleville, yesterday afternoon, they left a trail of footprints and egg shells which led to their un- doing. They were arrested and told where the loot of that and other similar enterprises could be recovered. The Neidhardt home was entered be- tween 2 and 5 p. m., in the family’s absence. Entrance was through the basement, where thefg"? Was water i18 inches deep, and through a door to the first floor, which was. forced with a file. Three watches, valued at $200, phone \fand some smaller articles were taken, Chief of Police Stookey found smal! footprints on the basement steps and egg shells in the parlor, where three Kaster eggs had been eaten. The Sow- man, Frazier and Cramer boys had been in trouble before and he suspected them. When arrested they confessed they had buried their loot in the hills back of the Star Brewery.

IN THE TRIAL OF THE SOLLER GAS Murder Case Will Probably Go to the Jury This Afternoon. Testimony in the trial of Charles (Dutch) Fromme and Gus (Red) Koenig, for the murder of Frederick UH. Solter, paymaster for the St. Louis Cold Stor- age and Refrigerating Co., who was held up and shot at Second and O’Fal- lon streets, Aug. 15, 1914, was concluded this morning. Attorneys thought the case would go to the jury shortly after noon. Carl Caldwell have already been con- victed of participation in the murder and are serving life terms in the peni- tentiary. The Rev. Father Stephen J. Brady, rastor of St. John’s Catholic Church, 1519 Chestnut street, was put on the stand George Smith, alias Singer, and } | ing. He was used m an effort to shat. ter the alibi for Koenig presented yes- terday by Mrs. Margaret Henry, 1440 Sarsfield place. Mrs Henry testified that Koenig spent the night of Aug. 14 at her home and had breakfast with her there at 8 o'clock on the morning of Aug. 15. It was the theory of the defense that Koenig couldn't have gotten from her Ouse in time to be present at the mur- der. Mrs. Henry said she fixed the date because it was the morning of the Cath- clic feast of the Immaculate Conception. Father Brady testified that this feast was celebrated in December. He said the witness might have confused it with the Feast of the Assumption, which was célebrated sometimes towards the middle of August. Hans Wulf, attorney, who represented Caldwell at the !atter’s trial took the stand for the defense. He said that the Circuit Attorney had offered to get Caldwell's sentence cut to 2% years if he testified against Smith, and to 15 if he testified against Fromme and Koenig if they should ever be caught. Boy Held for Sounding False Alarm. James Locher, 6 years old, of {963 Romaine place, was arrested iast night after he had sounded a false alarm of fire from the box at Hodia- mont and Ridge avenues.

The dishonest dealer, he said, is always on the lookout for inspectors, and either conceals his faulty apparatus, sub- stitutes scales that will pass inspec- tion, or corrects the false scales so they will pass inspection and get an official stamp, and immediately thereafter re- adjusts them to give short weight. Under such conditions, Supervisor Griffin said, his inspectors cannot make the thorough investigations for fraud that he would like them to make. The result, he said, is that it Is probable unscrupulous dealers are escaping detec- tion and are practicing their dishonesty in comparative safety from discovery and prosecution. The public, Supervisor Griffin de- clared, can be of invaluable assistance to his department, and co-operate with it, by reporting hucksters and dealers who give short weights or appear to be using false measures. Director Swingley, under the new charter, has supervision over the Bu- reau of Weights and Measures. He told a reporter the fee system in the bureau mast be abolished before any radical improvement in service could be made. Steps will be taken next fall, Director Swingley said, to correct the abuses now prevailing in weights and meas- ures. At that time, when the Board of Aldermen is reconvened after vaca- tion, he will prepare a bill modeled after the laws of New York and other cities, to change the weights and meas- ures inspection system.

Composing legal briefs to canned mu- sic has palled on thé lawyers in the New Bank of Commerce Building so they have asked the Police Depart- ment to issue a restraining order against a firm of music publishers in the Hol- land Building. Douglas \V. Kebert, an attorney, in- vited President McPheeters of the Police Board to his office on the . thirteenth floor of the New Bank of Commerce Building for the purpose, Robert said, of looking over a recent Supreme Court ruling. When they were discussing the ruling the strains of “Night Time Down in Dixie Land” floated in through the windows. “What's that?’’ asked McPheeters. “That's really what I asked you up here for,’’ replied Robert. ‘‘That is what the lawyers in this building have to put up with all day long and day after day.”’ Robert told him that a music publish- ing house on the fifth floor of the Hol- land Building had a music machine in one of its windows with a megaphone attachment through which mechanical S-ngs were let loose on the innocent breeze. The space between the Holland} Building and New Bank of Com- merce Building on the Pine street side being occupied by low buildings there | was nothing to prevent the sounds reaching the offices of the lawyers, Robert said, and as the music did -nox harmonize with their work they wanted it stopped. Subpena Duces Tecum Suggested. “Perhaps a habeas corpus or a sub- pena duces tecum might serve to re- move the casus belli,’’ suggested Me Pheeters. Yesterday the President of the Pdlice Beard received a letter from Robert in which the latter said he did not believe his complaint had been taken seriously ard that he wanted the police to act as the music was “playing the devil’’ with legal minds. The letter was turned ove: to Centra! District and a sergeant was detailed to visit the music house. He reported back that the publishers said they would see that the lawyers were no longer an- noyed. oy, ~ REPLY BY McPHEETERS Police Head Declares That if the Board Played Politics Po- licemen Would, Too. While Republican politicians are com- p'aining that “the boys’’ of their party are getting no chance at the jobs under the city administration, and are beg- ging Mayor Kiel to hobble or hamstring the Efficiency Board, Dr. John UH. Simon, in newspaper interviews, is pro- testing against the treatment which “the boys’’ of the Democratic party re- ceive from Gov. Major The time chosen by Dr. Simon fdr his lament over lost spoils, is one of pro- found political peace, not to say tor- ror. The next election is far, far away —i6 months—and the last election is ecnly a memory—a sad memory for Dr. Simon and the Democrats. But to Dr. Simon, every place is a temple, and all seasons summer, for politics. The:+doc- * tor made a mighty run, two years ago, for the Democratic nomination for Mayor, and ditched the trim and well oiled machine on which Saunders Nor- vell expected to ride to victory in the primaries. In the election for -Mayor, al! Dr. Simon lacked .was the votes— sume 2300 more of them would have elected him. Looked After “The Boys.” When Dr. Simon was Health Commis- sioner under Mayor Wells, he made a record for taking care of “the boys.”’ The Mayor removed him, but “‘the boys” remembered him, and no Democratic candidate, in the two elections since he ran for Mayor, bas received anything like Simon’s vote. For this reason, the doctor thinks himself entitled to tell (ov. Major how “‘the boys” should be Kolped at this time. Sa The police department is the biggest thing, from the standpoint of jobs, that the Governor controls in St. Louis; hence Dr. Simon argues that the way into the department, and into its most ‘Gesirable positions, should be made easier for “the boys.”’ He blames President McPheeters of the Folice Board, an appointee of the Governor, fur not having brought this to pass by dropping Chief Young and others who hold the good jobs tn the department end putting Democrats in their place. | Reply to Simon’s Criticism. President McPheters yesterday issued a statement, about the length of a com- prehénsive diplomatic note, replying to Dr. Simon's criticisms. He said the po- “) hice law, enacted by Democrats, required the commissioners to take oath that they would disregard politics in appoint- ing and promoting policemen. He said he and the other commissioners were de- termined to comply with their oaths in this respect, and that if the Board YR started to playing politics, the police- ig men would also begin playing politics, to the f triment of the service. He aaved that Gov. Major had never sttempted to interfere’ with the Board, to dictate its appointments or its other acts. Gov. Major, the person with whom Dr. Simon is chiefly finding fault, has not Searchers for solitude should seek the North woods.

Ries To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “~ As your journal has always been the medium hey through which the people can express their = wrongs, I beg to call your attention to the pas- ® > sénger rates from St. Louis to Chicago, which also Ag | governs many other points east and north. The 7°) Legislature of Illinois after careful inquiry and “investigation fixed the rates between pcints in ~*. that State at 2 cents per mile where a passenger Irchased a ticket before boarding a train. This kes the rate between East St. Louis and Chicago ‘ 60, while from St. Louis the rate is $7.50. => (‘The railroads make this extra charge because pi St, Louis to Chicago or any other point where the "passenger must pass into another state, is inter- "state business and for that reason does not come “* under the jurisdiction of the Legislature of Illi- “ nois. Now there are hundreds of peorle who sit ie up all night in cars and pay the $2 extra who, rit, St. Louis had the same rates as East St. Louls a wth bridge fare added to Chicago and tw points y north and east, could afford a berth in a sleeping bag o*T- This applies the same with people going west. The rate from Chicago to St. Louis is $2 “above the Hast St. Louls rate. Traveling men who he Chicago or buy a bridge ticket to East St. Louis ) mor Granite City and then purchase a ticket to 5 ,Chicago or where they want to go and save the $2 Mg) extra. ™ But there are thousands of women and girls, smothers with children who do not know that the Ow railroads are taking advantage of this technicality peand are collecting $1.75 or $2 from every pas- e ‘senger above what the Legislature of illinois say ‘>is a just and reasonable charge and which they ) will not permit the railroads to exceed within ni limits of the State of Illinois, and the territory. otraveled between St. Louis and Chicago is over ™)99 per cent in the State of Illinois. =, Let me further expose their methods. You ask mya train man on and off-the lines leaving St. Louis opin the evening, say at 9 o'clock, how long the train @ewill stop at Granite City, so that you can get off Seand buy a ticket, and he will tell you that the werailroads do not intend any of their trains to stop “eat Granite City long enough to buy a ticket from ‘yothere. And especially if you have any baggage, Smyou cannot get your baggage checked beyond the » "point your ticket reads. And if you want to pay Siyour fare im currency after you reach Granite City, it will cost you more than the extra $2. “4 Sleeping car accommodations cannot be secured Sagnor reserved unless your ticket reads through, fe though you are willing to pay the cost of the }ebderth and show them your bridge ticket. So “pevery advantage is taken of a passenger to make “i him pay the extra $32. * Here is a subject that some of your business ~ essociations should take in hand to help the in- “etercourse between states. If one of your business “men's clubs would advise that they have for sale ) tickets from East St. Louis and Granite City at ~ the regular rates, also bridge tickets, it would ‘assist the public very materially. _ The Interstate Commerce Commission has re- i peatedly decided, as well as the courts, that a Passenger is entitled to the lowest combination ~ apf rates between points, but by manipulating mat- parers the railroads are able to collect $1.75 to $2 Sore than the lowest combination as shcwn.

Wouldn't it be a good turn south on Boyle to downtown via the Laclede ati mean the construction of miy a few blocks of track on Boyle avenue and ould the following decided improvements: _ AN ULTIMATUM ON LAW. The intimation from Washington that the Presi- dent and his advisers will stand firm on American rights and international law in the controversy with Germany over submarine warfare is reas- suring. The American people ardently desire peace with Germany. We desire to keep out of the EBuropean turmoil. We ask nothing of Germany or any other belligerent except justice and ob- servance of our clear rights on the seas. We want the freedom of the seas for American ships engaged in legitimate traffic and safety for Amer- icans on merchant ships. The responsibility for the strained situation existing between America and Germany rests with the latter. Hers is the wrong and the of- fense. She has violated the law, and inflicted injury upon Americans. President Wilson is justified in refusing to dis- cuss the terms of Germany’s reply to his recent note. Germany has adopted quibbling methods. She wants to know what terms short of the right terms the United States will accept—how far she can wrong us and compel us to wrong other nations without suffering the penalty of wrong-doing. If our Government begins dickering on the basis of securing safety for Americans on cer- tain ships under certain conditions we would doubtless find in the end that we had bartered principle for an assurance of safety for Amer- icans only who travel and trade on the ocean under terms and conditions dictated by Ger- many. We would sacrifice principle and all the great interests of humanity and civilization that hang upon it for a bagatello. There is a better way of dealing with a vital question of this kind. Let us fix Germany’s re- sponsibility. Our Government should let Ger- many offer her own answer to the demands we have made in the name of law, humanity and civilization. If it is not satisfactory—if it does not recognize and submit to law the President should, without further negotiations, declare that Ger- many assumes all frisk of not complying with our demands and of committing lawless and in- human acts towards Americans and American in- terests. It is time to announce that we will no longer tolerate the wanton or lawless injury of any American citizen. A MAN WHO NEEDS WOMAN’S HELP. “ Is Col. W. J. Bryan stumping for the ladies’ favor in 1916? His San Francisco suffrage speech indicates that he will run on that ticket if possible. His campaign slogan may grow out of the line with which he closed a feeling peroration: “Man needs woman’s help to stem the modern tide of militarism.” Be that as it may no aspirant ever demonstrated so conclusively and repeatedly his dire need of woman’s help at the polls. But whether the mili- tants need an apostle of such acute peace is ques- tionable. Sn ee ‘‘THE BOYS’’ AND THE JOBS. Senator Stone having admitted Dr. Simon's charge of Democratic dissatisfaction because “the boys” are not getting their share of the State jobs, the question recurs, What is “the boys’” share of the jobs? An answer would have value for both parties. Republican dissatisfaction with Mayor Kiel’s administration also exists because “the boys” are not getting their share of St. Louis city jobs. The jobs are the property of the people, who desire to have them filled on the basis of merit and efficiency. The fewer jobs apportioned to “the boys” the greater will be the satisfaction of the people. Discontent due to a refusal to ob- serve the conventional distributions of the spoils system might be a source of party strength rather than weakness. = = * — WHEN THE LEVEE TRACES ARE OUBS. The extensive system of levee tracks will become the property of the city sooner by several months than was expected. The Terminal company is pre- pared to turn them over at once. Papers are now being drawn preparatory to taking possession of them on the reconvening of the Board of Alder- men. Improvement of river terminal facilities is not an academic problem in St. Louis. It is not a subject for discussion in connection with municipal plans for next year or the year after and more remote times in the future. It is one of the livest of current St. Louis issues. The city will presently own this long mileage in levee tracks. What is it going to do with them, aside from collecting promptly a rental from the rail- roads for their use? A summer spent without maturing plans for handling merchandise in river transport and espe- clally for low-cost interchange of freight between railroads .aand steamboats will be unfruitful. This stimulating summer weather is favorable to energetic treatment of the problem. St. Louis should wake up. = = —~ = = THAT UNPAID-FOR TRANSIT STOCK. Referee Charles W. Bates made investigation to some purpose into the affairs of the old St. Louis Transit Co., whose traction interests were taken over by the United Railways. He finds from the records that a large amount of Transit stock was never paid for in full. On each share of this stock $59 still remains due after credit is given for the total payments made on it by its subscribers. The total due on all the stock on which arrears are found is about- $11,000,000. The discovery is interesting as an illustration of unsuspected possibilities for evil in corporate finance. It is a further aid to understanding how the United Railways’ preposterous $110,000,000 cap- italization has been rolled up. This $11,000,000 in stock, unlike most other stock, has not from the start represented anything of value. What pyra- miding has since gone on with this $11,000,000 of vunpaid-for stock as a basis, what stock watering and manipulating of basic issues, only a detailed analysis of the affairs of the company would show. But the discovery has a value more practical than as an instructive sample of how corporate securities are created from nothing. The Transit company after its sale pretended. to be without assets and impudently attempted to repudiate al] personal injury and other claims. The referee . “ a ee wh eee ret * - sans pi Re Oates igre ~ ee Mi ee ~ << it ta the Court that these | t ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, FRIDAY EVENING, to the last farthing. Why, however, should payments be limited to the amount of debts of this description? Why should not the payment of the full $11,000,000 be required? To be sure, as the United Railways it- self is the holder of a large amount of the delin- quent stock, its payment would be merely from one pocket to another. But President McCulloch urges the remission of the mill tax to give the company money for improvements. Why not accomplish the same purpose through the creation of a larger fund from these long overdue payments collected with interest? i, i ie. i A SMASH AT THE 2-CENT RATE. Forty-six Western railroads urge at an Inter- state Commerce Commission hearing in Chicago that revenue should be advanced through in- crease in passenger as well as freight rates. They insist that the 2-cent rate has not stimulated travel. Its effect, accordingly, is asserted to be « reduction in receipts from this source. Pas- senger traffic is declared to result in a net loss to some roads, while the average net return from the 46 is but 2.37 per cent. On the other hand, Frederick Underwood of the Erie would favor a l1-cent passenger rate, with the proviso that freight rates should be increased 20 per cent. It is easy to see the theory on which Lis view is based. It is the theory on which many EMuropean railroads are operated, which, however, generally traverse country more thickly settled than our West. While a considerable percentage of men never avail themselves personally of the freight-carry- ing facilities of railroads, cheap fares tend to a frequent use of their passenger-carrying facili- ties. They gain a consciousness of the value of the service the railroads render which otherwise might not be present in equal degree. This af- fects the popular attitude in ways beneficial to the railroads. Cheap facilities of communication in a country as large as this prevents provincial- ism and has other public benefits. Between the 1-cent rate and the 21-2 or 8 cent rate the roads are asking a rational medium ex- ists, which is to say that the 2-cent rate will probably be fair in time. It was put in effect in most states at a time of depression and if it did not increase travel the presumption is strong that travel would have shown a heavy decline at the old 3-cent rate. ’ The public asks nothing more than fair rates —the lowest rates that will yield a reasonable profit with efficient and honest management. A rate across state lines greater than the sum of the rates on each side of such lines is the in- consistent and ridiculous feature of the present rate situation. The commission should end this great absurdity. , , T= = * ~~ Te PROSECUTING WITH A JIMMY. Evidently the use of burglars’ tools is not con- fined to burglars, if we read this news aright. Sheriff Dickmann yesterday destroyed re- volvers and burglar tools which had been taken from prisoners and used in the prose- cution of criminal cases in the State courts during the last year. The expert use of burglars’ kits in the prosecu- tion of criminal business seems to call for re- doubled police vigilance, and it may pay to watch the operations of the Circuit Attorney’s force in the night-time. = = i a, PRACTICAL NEUTRALITY AT SAYVILLE. The Government’s seizure of the wireless plant at Sayville is a move in applied neutrality. The extent to which it may have contributed to the success of German submarine warfare—whether it has contributed at all to that success—is not plain from reports available to the public. But the very suggestion that surreptitious use of it may have assisted in swelling the loss of life among un- armed, peaceful, seafaring men is distressing. Under Government operation it can be used for every legitimate purpose and all doubt about the transmission of clandestine messages will be re- moved. These are times in all neutral countries, and especially in ours, when wireless plants must be above suspition. ES 7 HORNETS ON THE FIRING LINE. A Britisher advises his War Office to employ hornets against the German trenches. “The toss- ing of large numbers of hornets’ nests into the German lines,” it is claimed, ‘would be a more efficacious measure than the use of hand gren- ades, etc,” What we would like to ask is, who is going to throw the nests, and which way are the hornets going to fly? A good deal depends on this latter proposition. If memory serves us correctly, noth- ing more distracting than the hornet has ever been invented. Corporal O’Leary’s exploit is tame beside what‘a heroic hornet could’ do single- banded if insptred to patriotic and militaristic en- deavor. A trained band of hornets whose energies are turned in the proper direction would soon put Kultur hors de combat. If the hornets can be induced to join the Allies in any considerable numbers the war is at an end —but they must be handled and controlled with rare diplomacy. REAL AMERICAN HOSPITALITY. From The New York Evening Post, The manner in which a picturesque and sound Southwestern tradition of hospitality was main- tained yesterday at Honey Shuck, Mo., would have delighted Jefferson, Jackson and Benton. Those who search for threads of social continuity in our history will surely think it significant that a Democratic statesman, in this urban and hurried age, found it possible to have a marriage cele- brated in a way that brought in a whole State and pleased thousands of farmers, while it drew Senators, Congressmen and national party leaders. The mingling of somewhat: florid unconvention- ality with frankness, good cheer and emphasis upon the perfect equality of plain men was worthy of Monticello and the Hermitage at Nashvilie. The Clark wedding brought thousands of Missourians by train, automobile and carriage; the housewives of the entire section seem to have vied with each other in baking cakes and sending them to the Clark home; the special trains ran into a town in which the 2000 inhabitants had const‘tuted them- selves one great reception committee. There was a spirit about the whole affair that assures the country that the South, or at least the border South, is what it has ajways been. Even in cities like New York political leaders sometimes try to draw their constituents Inte a homogeneous and fraternizing body; but for such a manifestation of community good-fellowship as yesterday we have to ‘look to réegions~whete older modes of thinking and living still gbtain, - dl eau shh gina iy ann . : more on their shares to satisfy every just claim. | JULY 9, 1915. “SAY WHAT I -_ tt eit i i TELL YOU!”’ JUST A MINUTE a OO a I gO Og OO ae Se ge OO agile allt tly ail Se a ee ag 2 —= = =— = ag we Oe Oe RO Oe teat eae ag =~ PANATELA.

TROLL, who is yielding the post of jailer M at our new city jail, objects to the two iron doors through which his family must pass to get in and out of the domestic quarters in that structure. Seventeen other men, all applicants for the position, are willing to waive that objection to. get the place. At that, the objection is, we think, well taken. There is nothing in philosophy, so far as we know, which justifies the condition of which the retiring jailer complains. If a certain degree of one- ness with the inmates made him a better jailer, we might defend it; but we don’t think that necessarily results from the two iron doors through which he and his family must pass to get in and out of their home. The zoo keeper does not live in the zoo, nor does the fish commissioner live in the fish pond. We know nothing of Mr. Troll’s political footing, but he is on firm ground psychologically. Of that we are sure. The Weather Man missed the cyclone the other day. However, as the cyclone also missed the Weather Man, honors between them may be said to be even. The Russians are coming back.

Occasion--Lack of Taste, a Wrong Display, Mars the General Beauty of a Gathering and Proves Mortifying to One’s Hostess. ER HE week-end trip is such an es- 1 tablished thing that all of us know its pleasures. It is something on- always looks forward to with elation. But the anticipation of pleasure should not interfere with the necessary precur- sory thought and consequent arranging of the clothes one will wear. Indeed, full appreciation of the pleasures of- fered cannot be had unless one is ap- propriately dressed for them—that is. for the woman who is fastidious about her clothes. And, happily, these women usually do plan beforehand, but some- times find their calculations misplaced and then two days of a whole week's planning can be easily spoiled by her inward uneasiness of mind. However, there are women of a cer- tain type who, in thinking only of the pleasure in store for them have ap: peared at places of enjoyment and so- cial functions dressed hopelessly out of taste. Though quite marring the beauty of the assemblage, they seemed not to be aware of it, or in the case of being an invited guest seemed not to appreci- ate the humiliation of the hostess. Such people, of course, are never invited a second time to one place. They lack the essentials of good manners which spring from a sense of pride—and pride would make a woman plan the appro- priate attire, or, if that was impossible, make her to remain away. As week-ends range anywhere in desti- nation from the seashore, if one is near one, or a tent camp in the woods to a palatial summer home, the right sort of clothes must necessarily depend upon which place one happens to be going.

They had come up splen- didly from seed, and he was wondering whether it waé time to transplant them when he heard girls’ voices upon the porch of his house. “What a pity the new curate isn’t in!’ said one of them, Miss Margery Bowen, the daughter of the wealthiest of his parishioners. “I did so want to get him on the new committee this morning.” “And I wanted to see him, too,” said the other voice. Rev. Aloysius was so struck by the quality of the tone that he peeped around the edge of the house, which was uncurately, but perhaps pardon- able in a young man of five and twenty. And when he had looked the curate did not repent in the least, for he saw the prettiest girl who had ever come within the range of his vision. “Why, I thought you just came with me, Maud!" exclaimed Miss Bowen. “Listen, dear,’ said the second girl, in whom the curate now recognized Miss Maud Anderson, the beauty of the village. ‘“‘Mr. Friend, the rector, was telling Mamma the other day that Mr. Brown’ is a very imfressionable young man. And so I am determined to im- press him. I haven't had a proposal ‘': year, Margery.” “O, Maud!” exclaimed the other in awe. “You are never going to prac- tice on the new curate? Leave the poor man alone!”’ “It will do him good, Margery,’ an- swered Miss Anderson. “And I am working on a pair of slippers for him now, so you can see that my mind is fully made up.” Reverend Aloysius, overcome with shame, retreated hastily to the safe shelter of the tool house, from which he watched the girls depart down the street. The Curate on His Guard. +. be forewarned is to be forearmed, Ri ALOYSIUS BROWN was very and the curate resolved to antici- pate Miss Anderson’s intentions. Aceordinly he set to work to counter- mine the enemy's approaches. The popularity of the new curate was soon assured. All the girls of Freeport vied with each other for his company, but it was soon obvious that Miss An- derson and the curate were devoted to one another. In fact, had the curate not been so obviously simple-minded, the situation would have become scandalous, They were seen walking together, and. once the curate drove Miss Anderson to the church committee meeting. Rev. Aloysius, always on his guard feit, nevertheless, that if he had not been warned so providentially he would have fallen a victim. Miss Anderson was a girl of character and mind, as well as of beauty. Finally, he began to ” realize he had almost fallen into the irap which had been laid for him. It was a warm July afternoon when the two sat side by side outside Mrs. Anderson's house. A humming bird was flitting among the flowers, there was a rense of mellow peacefulness in the air; everything seemed to indicate the crucial imoment had arrived.

Do you consider that a rash speculation, Miss Anderson?”’ “Indeed, you know the proverb, ‘None but the brave deserve the fair,’’’ replied the girl. “I am going to risk telling her the next time I have a chance,”’ said the curate. “I value your confidence, Miss Ander- son, more than I can say. I don’t believe I should have mustered up courage tu speak to her if you hadn't encouraged me. I hope you two will be the best of friends.”’ And, raising his hat, he went away, leaving Miss Anderson gasping with hu- miliation and mortification upon the stoop. The girl could not conceal her agita- tion. She ran into the house, and, flinging herself on her bed, gave way to angry tears. She would never speak to the curats again! * She would leave the village! She had been déliberately mocked, her love scorned. The girl had quite forgot- ten her light raillery with her friend upon that occasion. She had come to feel a deep regard for the young curate. In the room which he occupied in the rector’s house Rev. Aloysius Brown flung himself down heavily into his chair. Somehow revenge did not taste as sweet as he had imagined it would And then, he was conscious that he had acted in an unchristian manner. “Go to her and ask her pardon,” said the curate’s conscience. “But I shall make myself stock,’’ urged the curate. “All the better. It is your duty to make atonement. She knew it was de- liberate and that you weren't so simple as you pretended to be,"’ said conscience. “Go to the Bahamas,” answered the curate. “Thanks, but I prefer to remain with you,” rejoined the curate’s conscience. The Curate’s Confession. UIETLY the curate rose up and went back to Mrs. Anderson’s house. It had grown dark, and he had had no supper, but that impera- tive voice within him would not be re- atrained. Reverend Aloysius’ mind worked quickly, and by the time he had reached the house he had already‘ re- viewed what he was going to say and found it satisfactory. He was going to tell Miss Anderson the whole miserable story from the day when he overheard her remarks to Miss Bowen. He would tell her how he had planned the whole thing, and he did not mean to spare himself. Then he would ask her whether she preferred to let forgiveness enshroud the matter in s- lence or whether she wished him to leave the village. Somebody was seated alone upon the stoop. The curate stopped in indecision, and raised his hat. “Well?” came a muffled voice, and the curate sat down beside Miss Ander- son. “Miss Anderson,” he began, “I have come back to tell you something, to make a confession I—er—I bought the ring for you and I want to ask you to marry me.” The curate stopped in consternation. Was that his voice? He had not in- tended to say that at all. But suddenly he found that Miss An- derson was in his arms, and her head upon his shoulders. And, still more arjazed, the curate listened to a 1.1a- licious, chuckling voice deep in his breast. laughing : lt was the voice of his conscience. (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) “The Body of the Nation.” i RESIDENT WILSON, addressing me an outdoor audience from a porch of the Treasury Department on Plag day, first paid a tribute to the inen who first established our Ameri- can ideals and then said: ‘“‘Let us not forget that the real ex- perience and life of a nation lies with the great multitude of unknown men. They constitute the body of the nation. This flag is the essence of their daily endeavors. This flag does not express any more than what they are and what they desire to be; and as I think of the life of this great nation, it seems to me that we sometimes look to the wrong places for its sources. “We look to the noisy places, where men are talking in the-market place; we look to where men are expressing their individual opinions; we look where par- tisans are expressing passion, instead of trying to attune our ears to that voiceless mass of men who merely go about their daily tasks, try to be hon- orable, try to serve the people they love, try to live worthy of the great communities to which they belong. These are the breath of the nation’s nostrils; these are the sinew of its might. There are no days of special patrio- otism. There are no days when you should be more patriotic than on other days.”’ SOME NEW RECIPES Sardine Sandwiches—Open a box of eardines (half-box size), take out the fish and drain off every drop of oll by leaving them in a colander for an hour, then spreading on thick paper. Remove the backbones one by one, scrape them into bits with knife and fork; work into the picked fish a lit- tle cheyenne pepper, a tablespoon of melted butter and the juice of two lem- ons; spread the paste between buttered ‘slices of bread. Rhubarb Meringue Pie—Stir hal? tablespoon of flour into 1 cup of sugar, add the beaten yolks. of 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon of water, mix well, then add 1 heaping cup of finely out rhubarb.
