Associated Press. BERLIN, via London, July 23.—The new ‘American note to Germany reached Berlin during the night anc was delivered to the Foreign Office by Ambassador Gerard at 10:12 o'clock this morning. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, July 23.—With the de- livery today by Ambassador Gerard .>) the Foreign Office in Berlin of the new American note warning Germany that the loss of American lives through fur- ther violations of neutral rights would -rarded as “unfriendiy,’’ the United rests its case for the present at The note will be given out here tomorrow By least. late today for publication morning. Officials of the Washington ment turned expectantly toward Berlin for some indication from some officials there as to the reception of the com- munication. Until such information is at hand the next diplomatic move of the United States will not be decided on. Govern- America’s Final Word. The note is declared to be the final word of the United States Government with regard to further transgressions of its rights. Should a similar disaster as that to the Lusitania occur, it is believed President Wilson would call Congress together to consider a course of action. . Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, went to the State Depart- ment today for his official copy of the note to Germany, although he pre- viously had received an unofficial out- line of its contents. The Ambassador has had no communication with his For- eign Office on its view of the note, but his purely personal view is that the communication will bring a reply, al- though one may not be made for more than a month. His persona) opinion Is that the situation still is left open for amicable adjustment. The new American note to Great Brit- ain, protesting further against interfer- ence with commerce between the Unit- ed States and neutral nations, was al- ™most finished today at a conferenoe be- tween President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. It will be sent to Londen prob- ably nex: woek. Secretary Lansing wi!l finish the note and expects to forward it to President Wilson at Cornish for his final approval. The note has been delayed partly be- cause of the President's desire to com- plete the German note befofre taking up the issue with Great Britain and partly because of developments in the British Situation have come up from time to time. The note to Britain probably will not deai to any extent with specific in- stances, contending chiefly for the gen- eral principles involved with rénewed insistence on modifications in the or- der in countil to conform with what the United States regards as the accepted rules of international law. The recent filing of a legal caveat announcing that orders in counci] and British munici- pal law do not affect the rights of American citizens under internationa! law was the first step in the policy which the United States is pursuing fo obtain acquiescence in its point of view. Report on Orduna Received. Dudley Field Malone, Customs Col- lector at New York, presented a report of his investigation of the German sub- niarine attack on the Cunard liner Or- Guna, to the Trgasury Depariment to- day and conferred with Secretary Lan- sing. Later. he conferred with lresi- dent Wilson at the White House. Ma- lone said he did not discuss the Orduna case with the President. Malone's re- port included affidavits and statements by officers, crew and passengers of the liner which carried a score of Ameri- cons, detailing the attack, which they Say came without warning, first ry a torpedo which missed the ship by 10 feet, and then by shells from a deck gun om the submarine, noné of which hit the Orduna. The investigation was made on a Stater-ent to the Siate Department by William O. Thompson of Chicago, coun- se! fer the Industrial Relations Com- mission, one f the Americans n the liner. Although the report was not made public, it was understood that at least one of the affidavits was by an Amer- lean who swears he saw the torpedo pass the stern of the Orduna, and that he also saw the shells fired at the ship _@trike the water. As a result of the American's sworn statement that the ship was attacked without warning, in- pwries may be addressed to Berlin. | of the Road Ahead. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 23.—Flashing a clear reflection of one of the most dangerous curves in Western Pennsy!- vania, a plate glass mirror, 30 by 48 inches, has been placed at the top of the Logan's Ferry Hill by the New Ken- sington Automobile Club, near here. The mirror is firmly set in a heavy wooden frame, and is mounted so that automobile drivers may see the curve they are approaching for a distance of fully 400 feet, thus giving them ample warning of an approaching car. Drivers say the reflection of headlights at night make the mirrur of even great- er value than during the daytime. SMOKE SHUTS OFF VIEW AT DISTANCE OF BLOCK AT 8 A, M, Lazy Wind Permits It to Lie Where It Happened to Be for About an Hour. A midsummer smoke blanket hung over the downtown district this morning and between 8 and 9 o’clock the smoke was so thick and so low as to obscure objects a block or more distant. A Jazy wind, blowing not more than three miles an hour, and in no constant direction, permitted the smoke to lie wherever it happened io be. The smoke seemed to b2 largely a local product, and not, as sometimes, a contribution from the East Side packing house district. Engineers versed in smoke abatement met Wednesday afternoon in the office of Director %f Public Safety Swingley to plan measures ggainst smoke in the coming fall end jwinter. It was decided to issue circulars,*instructing firemen of apartment houses, and low pressure plants generally, how to use soft coal in such a way as to minimize smoke. The facc that many low pressure plants employ no firemen, but leave the engineer to do the fireman’s work was mentioned, and Directc:1 Swingley ex- pressed nimself in favor of a require- ment that low pressure plants. of a cer- tain capacity shall have licensed fire- men. The exact canacity at which this requirement should be made, was not decided on. Seeeeetliinetieteeeeneeetie eee GERMANS INVENT PENNY MEAL Flour, Vegetables, Meat and Macaroni in Recipe.

The Post-Dispatch ts the only evening news- paper in St. Louis that receives or publishes news gathered by the Associated Press DEAR KITTY AFFAIR Harry M. Rubey Returns Sud- denly to Macon and Outlines His Side of Story. “SLANDERED,” HE SAYS Postoffice Inspectors to Investi- gate, U. S. District Attorney Oliver Announces. The Rubey-Romjue-‘‘Dear Kitty’’ con- troversy, which has excited Macon, Mo., considerably and amused the rest of the State, had reached the statement stage this morning. There were statements from former Democratic Chairman Har- ry M. Rubey, who wrote the letters; from former Probate Judse MM. riom- jue, who says the letters had to do with a plot to compromise him; from ‘Dear Kitty’’ herself (Miss Kitty Calla- han, 3846 Page boulevard), and from “Dear Kitty’s’’ sister, Miss Rose Calla- han, of the same address, who went t» Macon to “find out some things’’ for Rubey. The statements by the Judge and the Callahan sisters were, in most, part, a repetition of what previously had been printed in the Post-Dispatch about the controversy. Slanderous, Says Rubey. Rubey, who returned to Macon from 2.

Rubey spent the entire conference with his art- F, Matthews, ard three In St. Louis, Romijue and the Callahan sisters seemed to be in the attitude of standing rat and waiting for Rubey to forse the situa- tion. Rubey’s arrival in Macon yesterday afternoon was almest secret. His friznds had conducted the arrangements for his return very quietly. Few persons aside from his most intimate friends knew he was expected. These friends had said privately that when Rubey re- turned he would issue a statement, and would make public affidavits which would disprove the statements con- tained in the affidavit of Rose Calla- han. Rubey was reached Wednesday night by one of his friends with a telegram at Hastings, Neb., when he, with Mrs. Rubey, was on an automobile trip to Fort Collins, Colo. Rubey sent word to Macon that he would return on the first train. Mrs. Rubey accompanied him. Asks Suspension of Judgment. Immediately after his arrival Ru- bey went to his office with Matthews and two or three others. Later he issued a brief typewritten statement in which, after declaring that slan- ders had been uttered about him, he asked his friends to suspend judg- ment until they heard his side of the case. Tt was expected that he would make a more detailed statement lat- er, but when he quit the conference Rubey declared that whatever he would have to say would be said “in Continued on Page 3, Column 6. quotation.

A system of rebating and gifts to retailers, by which the American Bakery Co., the “Bread Trust,’’ sough< to keep going pendent bakeries, was shown at today’s hearing of the State’s ouster suit, be- fore Commissioner Lamm at the Plant- ers Hotel. From the minutes of directors’ meet- ings, read into the record by Assistant Attorney-General Ewing, it was shown that cash rebates were given to Faust's, MecTague’s and the Marquette Hotel, on the ground that it was ‘necessary to hold trade.’’ Several retailers testified that gifts of showcases, mirrors, enam eled signs, bread boxes and menu cards were made to them by the corporation Executive Committee Transactiona The Executive Committee, May 7, 1910, ordered that each of the seven bakeries in the combine submit a new style of loaf for one of the advertised brands, which, the minutes stated, was not sell- ing as well as the other brands. The Executive Committee, on Aug. 4, 1910, authorized two of the bakeries in the combine to change their bankers. Oct. 19, 1910, the Executive Committee decided to adopt a standard size of bread box to be supplied to the trade and the W'elle-Boettler company was authorized to make such boxes for those plants not having proper facilities. The minutes show that it was agreed, on Nov. 1, 1913, to bid 3 cents a pound upon proposals to supply bread to city institutions. A later entry upen the minute books shows that all bakeries in the combine were permitted to bid for city contracts at $2.80 a hundred weight. On April 6, 1914, one member of the Executive Committee moved that bak- eries should submit city bids at $2.86 a hundred weight. This was amended to permit bids at $2.44 The records of directors’ meetings. read into the record by Ewing, showed that $1860 was set aside for monthly rental of the seven plants, with the addition of $300 for yearly ground rent. The minutes of Jan. 16, 1998, show the St. Louis Bakery was authorized to make Sunday deliveries within a radius of ® blocks. Rebates for Charity and “Trade.” The minutes of March #2, .vO8&, showed authority given the secretary to approve $96.01 in rebates to four charitable {fn- stitutions and $397 to the Faust, Mar- quette and McTague restaurants. It was stated in the minutes that the first rebates were approved because the in- stitutions are charitable organizations. The restaurant rebates were approved upon the ground that they were “nec- essary to hold the trade.” Sign Given te Grocer. H. C.

WAR FOR YEAR Success of Present Plan Would Assure Ger- many Against Invasion—Enveloping Move- ment Complete Change of Tactics. BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND. A Staft Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, July 20 (via The Hague).— More than 4,000,000 men, fighting on the bow-like front extending from the Baltic, near Riga, to Bessarabia on the Ruma- nian frontier, are engaged in what is {probably the greatest battle of the war In the machine with him | so far as the number of men and the length of the front are concerned. The attack of the Germans and Austrians will resolve itselc? into the decisive strug- gle of the war in Russia and will bring that campaign to a close for this year. Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the Nemesis of the Russians, who has en- trapped and vircually annihilated three Russian armies in the Mazurian swamps with his famous chief of staff, Luden- dorff, is directing the operations on the northern orn, or left wing, of the vast Austro-German armies. Von Mackensen, reconqueror of Przemyvsl and a rew!y created field mar- shal, with his chief of staff, Gen. von Seickt, 1s directing the right wing or southern®horn, which, however, is under the suprenie command of the Austrian Archduke Ferdirand.

Following the takirg of Lemberg. re ports were rife that the Germans were moving immense bodies of troops to the west front, and that Mackensen had heen traneferred there. Events of *he last few days tend to confirm, how- ever. what I learned at Budapest and Vienna, whence I fust returned, that the German and Austrian strat- egists, Falkenhayn and Hoetzendorff. have determined to put forth ever; energy to bring the Russian cam- paign to a close for the year before the end of summer without giving the Russians a chance to reorganize their demoralized armies or await new guns and aminunition which the Rus- sians expect. Conscious of the unbroken series of victories, and with characteristic dar- ing. Falkenhayn and Hoetzendorff de- cided on an enveloping movement of the Russian armics on an unprecedented scale. The chances of success lic less with the number of German troops engaged than with their quality, and the gambling upon the condition of the Russian forces and their lack of resist- ance. The general plan is said to be that of Von Hinderourg and Laden- dorff. Attacking Day and Night. Hindenburg’s front cxtends. from Mi- tau to the Pilica, south of Warsaw, a Gistance of 42% miles. The right wing, under the supreme command of Arch- duke Ferdinand, but in which Macken- ven is chief factor, extends 330 miles from the Pilica to the upper corner of Fioumania. Mackensen js delivering his main attack against the Russian cen- ter, between the Vistula and Bug, whiie IHiindenburg is pressing estrongly from the north. In the north, the Russians have been forced back to their second line of de- fense on the Narew River. At several points south of the fortress of Ostro- lenka Gen. von Gallwitz, commanding cne of Hindenburg’s armies, has driv- en the Russians across the river. At no point on the long :ine are the Ger- rans and Austrians giving the Rus- sians a rest, buf§{are attacking day and night. In view of the v series of battles i Berlin, Vienna and in that direction. Figh on the west- ern front is in secondu place. If the present envelopment is succesas- ful, it probably will settle the fate of Warsaw and the Narew line of forts west and north of Warsaw. With these in their possession, the Germans virtu- cliy are assured against any further Ivussian invasion, even if the war lasts arother year. AUSTRIA DELIVERED ULTIMATUM TO SERVIA A YEAR AGO TODAY PARIS, July 23.—One year ago today the Austrian ultimatum to Servia, whicn led up to the war, was delivered. The French press commemorates the anni- versary with articles voicing the reso- lution of France and her allies to Carry on the war unswervingly. The Matin says: “Germany had reached the point of wishing to crush by diplomacy, if not by force, nations unwilling to accept her yoke. She was completely carried away by the desire of domination as well as the mania which led her to believe she could not exist without uncontested su- periority in Europe.” 4 Free Band Concerts Tonight.

Reports to Berlin Describe Muscovite Achievements as Remarkable in View of Ammunition Shortage. Teutonic Offensive Contin- ues Vigorously From Bal- tic to Bug Except in Coun- try Opposite East Prussia. By Associated Press. LONDON, July 23.—Over the Russian front, from the Baltic as far as the Bug, the only district in which the Aus- trians and Germans are not attempting a serious offensive lies opposite the re- gion of East Prussia, which is well ds- fended by the Mazurian Lakes. North and south of Kovno, German attacks are reported, but the chief fighting is in progress south of Ivangorod, Lublin and Cholm, connected by the railroad line which 1s of such value to the Rus- sians, and south of Sokal on the Bug in Galicia near the Russian border. The report of the investment of Ivan- gorod puzzles military experts who de- clare it is impossible that the great fortress could have been surrounded Southward from Warsaw, to the west of the Vistula, the Germans report a victory for the Silesian landwehr, which stormed the Russian positions and threw back the defenders into the fortress of Ivangorod. As the scene of the Silesian success is 15 miles from the fortress, it is believed here the German officia rte must have been trana- ly, as claiming the tm- vestment of the fortress itself when the outlying protecting forta were meant. From the standpoint of the allies, one of the most hopeful features of the campaign is the stubborn defense of the Lublin-Cholm railroad by the Rua- sians. On the Nafew front. to the north there has been a lull in the fighting, but the renewed activity of the Ger- mans from Kovno to the Baltic has de- veloped into an important engagement as a result of which the Russians have been compelled to retire. Interest here in the fate of Warsaw is undiminished, but the stubborn re- sistance of the Russians is doing much te relieve the depression of the English. Capture of Lablin and Chelm Said to Be Near. By Asnoctated Press. , BERLIN, via London, July 23.—A dis- patch from Vienna to the National Zelit- ung says the final attempt of the Rus- sians to stop the advance of their op- ponents in the critical battle on the new line southward of the Lublin-Chelm Railroad, southeast of Warsaw, has ended in failure. The decisive action in this connection is likely to come in the territory between the Vistula and the Bug rivers. The Russian southwesiern front is se- riously menaced, the divpatch adds, The ynilroad line running through Ivangorod, Lublin and Cholm is now only a few miles northward of the Teutonic lines, and the capture of Lublin and Cholm is said to be a question of only a brief time. The correspondent of the National Zeitung at Tarnow, Galicia, while re- porting that the Austro-German forces are advancing steadily, points out that there are difficulties to be met. He syys the Russians have ‘o contend with a lack of ammunition, but the state- ment that their morale is shattered is untrue. On the contrary, they are dis- playing the greatest bravery and en- durance, and only in the case of contin- gents without higher officers do they surrender readily. At Krasnostav, 4 miles south of Laub- lin, there occurred an engagement at close quarters which was unusually des perate and deadly. The Russians awaited their attacking opponents, and resisted them with the bayonet. They head assembled strong reserves, and ‘he Germans and Austrians had to expend the greatest efforts to overcome them. It was necessary literally to throw the Russians from their trenches. The lack of good roads in Poland pre- sents an especially unfavorable aspect from the standpoint of the invaders.

LOUIS SS. ——~_ ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH The hostile main position, which had been constructed like a fortress west end south of Ivangorod on the line of Kozienica and Janowlec was broken thfough on both sides of the road run- ning from Radom to Nowo Alexandria, by the German troops. The Russians fell back to Ivangorod and the righ*t rank of the Vistula. Their retreat over the bridge before Nowo Alexandria was under tne fire of the German artillery. "The Austro-Hungarians are advanc- ing from the west and the Germans from the south toward Ivangorod. _“Numerous places west of the Vistula have been burned by the flying Rus- slans. “Kast of the Vistula battles continue with undiminished stubbornness, the enemy offering tenacious resistance. ‘Near Chodel and Borzechow (southwest of Lublin) parts of the army of Arch- duke Joseph Ferdinand, after stubborn fighting, repulsed the Russians from sev- eral positions. The enemy’s losses were heavy. The number of prisoners cap- tured by this army was increased to 8000, and {its booty to 15 machine guns and four calssons. “Further.east on the Bug, the Austro- German troops broke through the hos- tile lines at several points. On the Bug, in Galicia, Hungarian regiments stormed the Russian point of support of Debrod- wor, north of Kamionka Strumilowa.’ —- oe eo" GERMANY DENIES LOSS OF WARSHIP No Battleship Attacked by Sub- marine in the Baltic, Says the Admiralty. BERLIN, via London, July 23.—Sup- plementing the denial made last night that a German warship had been sunk in the Rialto by a hostile submarine, the German Admiralty today authorized the statement that in the operations in question no battleship of the Deutsch- land class was attacked by a subma- rine and that no German warship of any kind was sunk. The only loss dur- ing the operations was the Albatross, & mine layer, it was stated. A statement was made in the British - House of Commons July 21 that a com- munication received from the Russian Government had given to Commander Max Horton of a British submarine the credit of having sunk a German battle- ship in the Baltic July 2. The battle- ship, it was said, was believed to have been the Pommern. The Pommern is of the Deutschland class of battleships. British Occupy Town in Arabia on the Euphrates; Attacking Turks. LONDON, July 23.—The British have occupied Sukesh Sheyukh, on the Eu- phrates River, in Arabia, according to an official report, and are attacking Turks below Nasirlyeh. Reports of British defeats in Irak were declared in the report to be unfounded. Italy on the Verge of a Break With The Ottoman Empire. ROME, via Paris, July 23.—Diplomatic relations between Italy and Turkey, al- ready strained, are becoming more tense because of the reported refusal of thse Turkish authorities to permit Italian subjects to leave the Ottoman empire. It is believed here that a declaration of -war by Italy .is near. f ' Reports from Cairo that a Turkish- - German expedition has landed on Ital- 1 territory in Tripoli has aroused the ‘fre of the Italian press. Rome also has eard that a large number of Italian rvists have been detained at vari- tius points tn Asia Minor, Syria and esa on the pretense that passenger c has been stopped. ™ So far there has been no declaration f hostilities against either Germany or Turkey, the allies of Italy's antag- ae Austria. It has been the belief yin diplomatic circles that each side is waiting for the other to take the initia- ‘tive and thus assume the responsibility “for extending the scope of the conflict. russians Handicapped Also by a al Shortage of Officers. ¢ AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN HEADQUAR- WpRS, July 2%, via London, July 2.— “The offensive of the allied armies in “Poland is proceeding with machine-like regularity and has now entered the de- “Cisive stage of the struggle in South Po- @and, namely, a battle for the possession of the important railroad line connect- Yng Cholm, Lubiin ani Ivangored ani of these strategically important cities. The Russians, although olinging des- Merately to every undulation of the wa- ood course in the broken, sandy coun- have been driven from one ad- ed position after another and forced %o fall back upon their last and main ne of defense south of the railroad. The long battle line has been consid- erably shortened owing to the north- movement of the armies, and the gRussians thereby have been enabled to centrate in heavier force. But the e factor frees considerable masses of the allied troops to be used for 4 sfoncentric attack against the new line. The advance has been executed under ghighliy unfavorable conditions. The al- lies have had to force their way through “a wide belt of sandy country, Iinter- fpupted with frequent swamps. The Rus- ians could entrench tn this country ‘ith lightning rapidity, while the Aus- stro-German artillery ec-uld be moved hrough the deep sand only when dou- l@ spanned and with the gunners put- "Bling their shoulders to the wheels.

As the war settled into the siege of Germany, it became evident that the lack of skilled workmen in the factories handicapped not so much pri- vate enterprise as the very wurk the Government itself must depend upon for success in the war. The Dalziez law was, therefore, passed, permitting the Governmen’ to take from the ranks wherever found svch skilled laborers as might be re- quired in factories operating on mill- tary materials, and return them to their forges ‘ and benches, still as soldiers upon active military service, and under military discipline.

WASHINGTON, July 23.—The destruc- tion of the Unit-d States capitol has been predicted within the last 24 hours. The force of policemen on Capitol Hil! has been doubled, and every nook and crannie in the building is being searched for explosives. The Sergeant-at-Arms of the House and Senate received let- ters warning them that the capitol was to be destroyed. So far there is no clew to the sender of the letters. They are similar to the “Pearce”’ letters, threatening to destroy transatlantic steamships. Nothing came of those threats, and it is beginning to be believed that a hoax has been perpe- trated. 6-HOUR DAY FOR PHONE GIRLS Recommendation Made by Industrial Commission’s Investigation.

Officials and diplomats were surprised over the reported action of Gen.

It had been generally urder stood that foreign governments were awaiting action ty the United States be- fore recognizing any government is Mexico. The effect of such action would be tov cut off the Carranza Government from further communication with foreign na- tions having ministers resident in Mex- ico City, although it would not, it ita believed, sever his informal relations with the United States, as he is said to regard Consul Silliman at Vera Crus as a properly accredited agent.

JEWISH SOCIETY SUES TREASURER OVER AN ESIATE Demand Made for $5046 Prop- erty of Woman Who Died in Home for Aged. The Beth-Moschab-Sekenim Society, which conducts a home at East Grand and Blair avenues for aged persons of the Jewish Orthodox faith, filed suit to day against its treasurer, John Ellman of 31 Lewis place, for $5046.50. That amount represents the estate left by Mrs. Bertha Kronthaler, who en- tered the institution in June, 1908, and died a month later. Her property con- sisted of notes, secured by a deed of trust. The suit alleges that Mrs: Kron- thaler conveyed her property to the so- ciety, as required by its rules, when she entered the institution. Ellman, the petition says, took out let- ters of administration on the estate, stating that he, as trustee, was the oniv heir. This meant, the petition says, that he was trustee for the society. But, the petition charges, he handled the money, not as the society’s, but as. be- longing to heirs of Mrs. Kronthaler Through his representations, it is charged, the Probate Court erroneously made an order by which $2446.99 was paid to these heirs. This was the bal- mnce left, it is stated, after the estate had been reduced by an unremunerative loan, and by other losses. Ellman is in the steamship business ai 1507 Franklin avenue. He said, when asked about the allegations in the suit, that the suit was the work of one man not of the society, and was “spite work.” He said the estate was in his lands, that heirs presented their claims and that the Probate Court, after due inquiry, allowed the clanams. He could not do otherwise, he said, than to pay them. JANE ADDAMS WELCOMED HOME She Tells Audience of 3000 That Spirit of Hate Still Rules Europe.

My clothes went through a process of elimination, a thing had n? time for in New York, for I had decided to go on Friday night and sailed on Saturday. My little glimpse of France in En- gland at the consulate cheered me, as France always does. I love the bon- homie, the humanness, the unofficious quality of officials, and the politess de coeur as distinguished from a set of manners that is ‘“hand-me-down” and unadjustable. My official at the consulate and I became very intimate. He discovered that we both belonged to the same pro- fession, and that fact captured his fan- cy. We promised each other to €x- change visits in our respective cities— he and his wife to call upon me in New York and I to visit them in R—. We even became confidential.

The French and Germans are holding successfully over 500 each! The individual English sol- dier is brave enough—nobody more so- but they have no management, no mind to guide them. Their officers are manly And courageous, but they are (and he used a French term which corresponds to ‘stuffed shirts’). Didn't Look Efficient. I must say his descriptions seemed to me apt, as I looked them over this morning at Victoria Station. Distin- guished and handsome men they were- these English officers—but theirs were not the faces of efficiency. In refer- ence to some of them I heard it whis- go the officers of the general staff. They spend their time traveling back and forth from France to England. Much of the hard work they see! Ornaments they are.” Bea waved us a last good-by and we off. the first time I felt a of We really zone of war.

But—logic, thy habitat is certainly not England. Arrived at l“olkstona, we went through easily among the first—thanks to some magic of Serenas. He might be an American commercial travelez, SO great are his energy and adroitness. tie even managed to have the car put on board, after they had flatly refused to take it, and. wonder of wonders, it was the first piece of luggage they dis- rorged at Boulogne. The Channel was calm and very smil- ing, much to my relief. The scene was exciting, if not gay. No, gay it certain- ly was not; there was a certain air of sternness and sobriety about everyone here and there a hint of tragedy. A grande damé of Rome, who had lost herself in a love entanglement, was re- fused permission to embark because her passport bore the stamp of Vienna. The unhappy lady, who was alone and in need of the utmost care, was despairing, but the officials were inflexible. Submarine Nets in Harbor. The harbor to the north was rimmed with submarine nets. They looked like fish nets in the water, their buoys just about as far apart, only a hundred times larger. Enzland, I am told, has spent over a million pounds in such subma- rine protection, and already Germany has built submarines carrying one tor- pedo each, so tiny that they penetrate ithe nets. Beyond them lay smoky black torpedo boat destroyers—-on guard and very much so, to judge by their numbers. So you see the passage from England to France '!s not much of a danger, after all. From my point of view, the passage was the only nice one I have ever known, but mv point of view with re- gard to Channel crossings is a lccal one, Bo to speak. “There pered, tor excitement. were prick were in the officers me aware of it. civilian ever, conspicuous in and very passenrers. Was Prince his you ignation Prince Louis viewed the bit of fleet with sardonic eye, I thought. To have been trained for 40 vears to service and then, when the opportunity for serv- ice presents itself, to be dismissed must be a biting vitter fact to face. He looked as he stood gazing out on the shining sea, an able and distinguished gentle- man. Will Trwin’s blithe face was the first thing I saw on Boulogne pier. Again, oWing to the Serenas’ management, we were able to disembark early, so that we had time for conversation as well as greeting.~ Before I left the boat IT heard the order: “Red Cross nurses please stanJd aside until the officers dis- embark.” l wondered whether it was the char- acter of the service that gave prece- dence to the one above the other: whether the one who destroys is con- sidered of more importance than the one who reconstructs; or whether it was just another illustration of the fact that in the workaday world the woman ts subordinate. For, remember, here we were not in active service. On the field doubtless the nurses take or- ders from the officers as they do from the doctor. But we were not on the firid. We were fellow passengers. Finds Towa Turbulent, The town was turbulent; Red Cross trains, dispatch officers, motor amby- lances, comings and goings of ail sorts. she Finds Paris Inexpressibly Sad and Pities Women and Young Girls Who Are Forced to Drag Out Weary Existences in Deserted Towns. I loved the throb of it and 1] felt my blood mounting with excitement—until I saw two broken bodies on stretchers. I realized I was letting myself get in the grip of a spirit whose present man- ifestation I detest—a spirit begotten by the joy of doing active and colorful things in crowds. .An admirable spirit really turned to abominable use. A spirit made use of to the point of ex- ploitation by the military minded; for the impoverished millions whose lives are lived in grayness and monotonous want, who are cheated of most of life’s color, are likely to accept with eager- ness the one opportunity for adventure and comradeship presented in their deary lives. Multiply their opportunities for joyfulness, brotherhood and con- structive action and you minimize their respohse to an appeal to action that is destructive and bloody. After luncheon we were off—not, how- ever, before we had obtained all sorts of permissions from all sorts of Generals in the town. We had been warned of sentries and their pleasant little habit of shooting at those who passed them, In England, tor example, a raw recruit was put on guard. A boy, a fellow townsman of his, passed him on a bicycle, presumably not having heard the order io halt. The sentry fired and the ball passed through the lad’s shoul- der, bringing him to the ground. The séntry, nis nerves aflame, rushed up to the prostrate boy and bayoneted him to death. This, if you please, in a quiet countryside, far away from the screani- ing whirl and madness of the battle line. Sentry Was Charming. Our notions about sentries made considerably nervous. Imagine, then, our surprise at the first barrier. A charming little ‘soldier came foward with a gun held timidly in font of him and a hesitant, apologetic expression in his gentle eves. He appealed to me as a little child appeals to me or a kitten or a floundering, helpless baby horse. Il wanted earnestly to squeeze him or pat his head or bless him. All I could do.to express my appreciation of his appealing charm was to give him cigarette when formalities were done with. But I shall never forget that brown-eyed little sentry—he was not a boy, either, but a man of perhaps 35. He smilled and murmured something, and called his superior officer, who ex- amined our papers. with the dignity that is not officious, with courtesy, dis- and kindly interest. It was the through that afternoon in I suppose we were chal- °° and 30 times, but us patch same sunny all France. between anc c.urteous. Bless France and the people! Having confessed my partiality, you may discount all that you please of what I shall have to say—on_ the ground of bias. The longer I stay here the more I am convinced that the capacity for making observations of this war situation is largely a matter of temperament. ‘‘Art,”’ said Goethe, “is a corner of like seen through a tem- perament.”’ So is war. There is no one general truth about the situation is re- vealed to a few privileged observers. Everything that everyone sees is true in a measure, and after you know the temperament of the observer you will know in what measure. If your tem- perament is akin to his he is likely te speak truth to you. We scurried along the flat French road, going as fast as 60 miles an hour for the road was deserted— was barren of its ordinary War had stripped the at times, that is, it human traffic. countryside. In the beginning we. passed a steady stream of motor cars, containing officers; motor horses and trucks of one sort and another, contain- ing supplies and ammunition, bound for the front, but later these thinned out. The railroad line from Boulogne to Paris goes within six miles, I believe, of the firing line, but the road lies 20 or 30 miles behind. We passed through towns that were astir with military hustle—one of the towns where was stored the horses and supplies; another which contained the hospital for the Indian soldiers; an- other where a regiment was waiting ih reserve. Everywhere were British Tom- mies, fraternizing cheerily with the French. As we got further away from the base of operations the soldiers in the towns became fewer and fewer, and we saw that the towns were des- olate.

Dozens of impromtu games will be arranged at O'Fallon and other parks by participants in various picnic par- ties. The Southern Athletic Club team will take part in the dedication of a new baseball diamond in Carondelet, with & game against the Woodmen of the World team. Ten civic organizations will have charge of the biggest outing South St. Louls ever has had at that park. Teams chosen from four of these societies will play the first game on the new baseball field. The only spots reserved in parks are the picnic grounds for which picnic per- mits have been issued earlier in the season, and baseball grounds on which games previously had been scheduled. Nine double-headers will be played in the afternoon at Forest Park on the various diamonds by teams in the Sun- day School League on the regular Muny League schedule.

The women straggled through the lifeless streets, dull eyed, weary, waiting. As the car passed young girls peeped from behind the blinds, crav- ing. I suppose, some manifestation of the life that was no more. Girls Pining for Friendship. T could not help thinking that if we had been an invading German army we should have had very little diffi- culty in persuading those eager young women to friendliness and perhaps to love. They were in the heydey of pulsating life, and their own men were gone, never, perhaps, to come again, I know what I should have done, as a young girl, cheated of throbbing life, left behind to a dreary driven existene in a deserted town. To some extent at least such a situation accounts for the number of Belgian-German babies. ‘‘Another ugly concomitant of war,’’ yuu say. Well, if you don’t like it, blame war, and not young womanhood de- prived of natural outlets for natural instincts by the system which makes cannon fodder of the nation’s youth. And remember that the same sex in- stinct is at work among those young men who have gone and finds satisfac- tion in even uglier and more degrading channels. War is the supreme destroy- er of all that civilization has known and cared for. In connection with the violation of Belgian women by the Germans, a young British officer writes from the front: “It’s all rot, this attacking of Belgian women by Germans. It's a case Of abandoned women gladly giv- ing themselves to the invading army and making capital out of it afterward. They are sure of being cared for, so $t’s quite worth while.” Poor things, what else is there for them to do but starve. ©n we went past the fields, where there are only women and young boys at work. Presently we had a terrific blewout, and while we waited for ‘t to be mended we chatted with an old peasant, who told us of the desolation of his countryside. ‘Il ne nous restent plus que les femmes.’’ Only the women are left. At Beauvais, where we stopped to purchase a tire from the army, we found the liveliness of the garrison town. . Everything seemed to be stir- ring. A speck of an aeroplane far overhead brought crowds out of the narrow twisted streets into the square. Apparently they were more certain than I that it was not hostile. We lost our way in the labyrinth streets of Versailles at nightfall and stumbled over the long bridges of the Seine into a darkened and heavy heart- ed city. I cannot begin to describe to you the sadness of Paris. Because she has so much capacity for joy, the city has equal capacity for gloom. And the war has filled that bright dream city full of shadow. The dreariness of a country at war as much as anything else is why I hate this business of fighting. The hotel is very still. Perhaps there are no people here; perhaps there aro just sad people here. We leave for Rome in half an hour by train. It takes too long and is too doubtful by motor. The day, although a day dedicated to passports and police, has been nicer than I thought possibie. To begin with, I have seen some folks from home. Elsie Goelet Clews, radian: and luminous as a young moon: Mrs. Normie Leeds, and, best of all, Nor- man Hapgood. Then I lunched with Dick Labouchere, and he was giad to have me talk about husband as much as I liked. That helped to banish a considerable amount of the queef littr.s| ache that began as the steamer drew away from the pier in New York. Talk ing with Dick gave me as much glad- ness as I am likely to have with the Atlantic rolling between. Serenas has made the formalities of departure seem infinitesimal.

WILL ASKS THAT HIS AEY BE SPENT ON FUNERAL arch Fireman Dies in Ambulance After Being Stricken on the Street. William Pohiman, who had been em- ployed three winters as a fireman at St. Mark's Catholic Church and school. at Page boulevard and Academy avenue, Was found dying on the street from heart disease at Ninth and Morgan streets, yesterday afternoon. He died in an ambulance on the way to the hos- pital. In his pockets the police found a will ‘n which he requested that the city in which he died expend al! his money on his funeral. A bank book showing a balance of $222.66 was found in his pocket. In his will he said he owned a farm of 153 acres in Roger Mills County, Ok. He directed that $200 be spent for a coffin, $200 for a . lot in a cemetery and $125 to $250 for a ST. LOUIS_POST-DISPATCH | tombstone. What was left was to be! given to the orphan children of the city which buried him. The body was iden- tified by H. A. Pohiman, a brother, of 3537 Arsenal street, who said he would not interfere with the carrying out of the terms of the will. FORMER ST. LOUISAN FOUND DEAD The body of Arthur T. Welge, who was found dead in a room in a Cincin- nati hotel Wednesday, will be brought 10 St. Louis for burial. Welge was a son of Theodore Welge of 2826 Victor street. He lived in St. Louis until three years ago, when he went to Cincinnati as salesman for a dryg and chemical supply firm. Dispatches from Cincfnnati state that Welge had registered at the hotel as W.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bareau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 23.—‘‘District At- was battling between when he prosecuted for the murder of Her: Juck Rose, informer for the convicted | Charles Becker Rosenthal,”’ and one-time agent “strong-arm” chief, said today. ‘“‘Whit- man never wanted to send Becker to the electric chair. He had an interest in him as the result of Becker's chance ac- quaintance with the father of the prose- cutor. “If ever a man ae to act against Becker, it was ‘an. When the prosecutor's father, a minister, lived at 16 East Forty-fifth street, about fifteen years ago, Becker, then @ voung police- man, took his meals in a house nearby. The Governor's father became friendly with Becker and liked him because of his manners and clean-cut appearance. The young policeman was well versed in the Bible and the two frequently spoke on church matters. “When Whitman became a magistrate he often gave special assignments to Becker, as he was impressed by what his father had told him of the young policeman. In later years, when he was District Attorney, he at times gave him special work. It is, therefore, natura! that, from the start, Whitman had a strong feeling for Becker that was imparted to him by his father. “Becker's long statement does contain a new fact “I Was His Accomplice.” “Tl was his accomplice in the m¥rder ®t Herman Rosenthal. For months be- fore, I was his adviser. We shared in the graft collections from the gamblines houses aintil he became intoxicated with his own great power and brought upon us this. misery. His greed prevailed, and, instead of allowing me to negoti- ate to buy off Herman Rosenthal, we insisted the gambler should be croaked “By pulling fake raids, Becker got the gamblers frightened all over town. They knew he was the ‘big feilow’ and _ :t would have to be fixed with him. When this panic was on, it was circulated among the gamblers that I was the man to see, and within two weeks our collections jumped from $2000 to $10,090 a month. “Occasionally Becker would raid places to show the owners he was on the job, but they could reopen the next day if their bills were paid up. Here T want to say, I was the only man he ever trusted, because he did not: have me shadowed when I made the col- lections, but was satisfied with the amounts I turned in. At the start I got “. per.cent of all the money collected but, when thé monev began coming in fast, he cut me down on my percentage Meeting With Rosenthal. “Tt was against my advice tha‘ Tecker ever met Rosenthal. Their first meeting did not take place on New Year’s eve in the Elks Club, but some time before. Rosenthal! havinz trouble with ,Inspector Haves and he was anxious to have a meeting arrange with Becker. There was to be a. ba!'! at the Elks Club, and, two days de- fore the ball, I learned that Rosenthal tad bought a ticket for himself and his wife. Louis Hyman and Sam Louis got the tickets for Rosenthal. “The dav I heard a having bought the tickefS T telephoned Becker to come over to my house, as he and his wife had been in the habit of associating with us. He came the following morning, when we were hav- ing breakfast, and I told him that it had been planned by Rosenthal’s friends to bring about an introduction at the ball. ‘*'Take wmv advice and keep away from Rosenthal or you will find your- self in trouble,’ I told Becker, but he only laughed at me and suggested I leave all that to him. He went to the ball and his wife went with him. The next day he told me all about his meet- ing with Rosenthal. ‘It looked like a put-up job,’ said Becker. ‘Every second man wanted me to meet Rosenthal and everybody was boosting him to me. Finally, I got so annoyed that I left the place. It was too much like a stage setting.’ Wanted to Know Sullivan. “Some days later Becker came to me and said Rosenthal had telephoned him and wanted him to come downtown to meet ‘Big Tim’ Sullivan. Becker was anxious to Know Sullivan, as he felt he might be able to help him in the Police Department. ‘*T wonder if Rosenthal is the proper person to introduce me to “Big Tim?” He thinks a good deal of my work in enforcing the Sullivan law and, as he stands in with Commissioner Waldo, it might be to my advantage to get in with him,’ he said to me. “Becker was introduced to ‘Big Tim by Rosenthal a few days later and he told me Sullivan had assured him any- thing he did for Rosenthal would be appreciated by him. “While Becker was glad Big Tim of- fered to do him a service in return for any favor he could show, he was just as suspicious of Big Tim as he was of everybody else. He did not even believe Big Tim was going to see Waldo, 80 ile had one of the members of his squad trail the former Senator to the Ritz- Carlton. That is one of Becker's char- acteristics He never trusts anyone, and is always suspicious. Beginning of the ‘Trouble. ‘*Jack,’ Becker said to me, ‘Rosen- thal has put a proposition up to ime. He wants me to put $5000 in his Forty- fifth street house and get it opened up He wants to put you in as my repre- sentative and get 2 per cent of the profits.’ “That was really the beginning of the ! trouble. “Soon stories began circulating around town. Men carried tales to Becker and to Rosenthal, making both meet in the middle, so there arose a breach. Final- ly; ‘Rosenthal let it be known that he intended to squeal. There had been uot was ut Rosenthal FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1915. _-_ lots of raids, but only about 2% per cent of them were legitimate. “Things began to look very bad. Beck- er was worried, and 1 advised him’ to put up enough money to send Rosen- thal to Paris. ‘Big Tim’ never put up the proposition to get Herman out of the way, and I think, if the thing had been worked properly, Herman would have taken a bank roll and left the State instead of going to the newspa- pers. ‘What, give up money tod that squeal- er!’ Becker said to me, when I sug- gested paying Rosenthal something ‘o leave. ‘The first thing you know, an- other squealer would come along and then there would be a lot more.’ ‘*‘Croak the —— —— squealer, and let everybody know we had him croaked. That will put an end to squealing,’ Becker said. “$6000 Would Have Saved Situation.” “Six thousand dollars paid to Rosen- thal would have saved the whole situa- tion. There would have been no squea! and no murder. But Becker would not give up a cent for such a purpose. “The Sunday before the murder I was at the Sam Paul outing. On my return, after a talk with Weber and Vallon, [ called up Becker and told him what had been doing. I told him there had been no sentiment shown to- ward Rosenthal, and that, did squal, he would not get any corrobo- ration. “But I could not argue with Becker. He was drunk with his own power. “IT had a message from Harry Apple- baum to meet him at Luchow’s, in Four- teenth street, and, when I got there. he told me that I was the only man who could straighten things out, by arrang- ing for a meeting between Becker and ‘Big Tim.’ ‘*This is a message from the Big Fel- low, and he wants you to fix the meet- ing tonignt,’ Applebaum said. I went to a phone and got Becker on the wire. Becker did not want to come downtown. ‘“What the hell does he want with me? I don’t want to see any of them,’ Recker said at first, but finally agreed to wait at the house until we could come up in an automoh''- “Tim an Innocent Sufferer.” “IT had a hard time convincing Becker that everything was allright for him to come down to Columbus Circle and see ‘Big Tim,’ as he was very suspicious, but, finally, he agreed to go. Appel- baum took him to ‘Big Tim’s’ office and then returned to the automobile with me. We did not hear any of the cotn- versation that took place at the meet- ing, and, therefore, it was not possible to introduce it into the trials as testi- mony Had Becker taken the witnese stand it would have been brought out, however. “Big Tim’ was an innocent sufferer. Hie never shared interest or benefit with Rosenthal, but I thought he would ktraighten out the trouble between Fsecker and Herman. I recall saying to Appelbaum: ‘Harry, 1 do hope the Biy Fellow will fix things up.’ While Ap- relbaum was in the car with me I never spoke of ‘croaking’ Rosenthal. I only wanted, like the others, to get everything settled along the best lines.’’ iccatendsatnmanneiiieammmaee A PACKARD BARGAIN [ will sell mv 30-Pack- ard, seven passenger touring car, just over- hauled and _ in first- class condition, witi: set of seat covers and top like new, all tires good.

Matthews’ extensive Hnt Store, with its superb up-to-the-min- ute stock, has been purchased and is now being conducted by Ben Miller, who also has been favorably known in this community for years as a hatter that knows the business from every angle, having made the sub- ject of hats a life study. From now on the slogan ‘‘ Matthews Wants Your Head’’ will be transposed to ‘‘ Ben Miller Wants Your Head.’’ ‘*Ben’’ and ‘‘George’’ as they are familiarly called will be ably assisted by G. O. Hambley, formerly Mr. Matthews’ ‘* right bower.’” All of these artistic head-fitters will be pleased to serve their host of old customers, as well as new ones, at either of the two Ben Miller Stores, 700 Pine or 623 Franklin Avenue. It will be apropos to mention that there is not a salesman in either Ben Miller Store who is not competent to select a hat that will fit the face of each individual customer—that is true art in hatsalesmanship. The policy of the Ben Miller Store is not to just make a gale but to satisfy their thou- sands of patrons in such a manner that they come again and again for their headwear, knowing that quality, stvie and prices are right. ‘*Ben Miller Wants Your Head’’ for straws, outing hats, felts, fedoras, vacation caps, etc., and it will be well to remember that his stores are representing the celebrated Stetson line, which is conceded from ocean to ocean to be the ‘‘quality’’ line of the United States. It is a safe prediction that the Bin Miller concern will be a winner because their loyal friends, added to Matthews’ friends, make an irresis- }tible combination.—ADV. oe even if heft re 00S IO LIO nook 102.0 00 36 Reserved Seats on Sale Here for Thearle-Pain ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH cnc 02 00———on 10 10 ao ‘‘War of Nations’’ at Motordrome, July 24th to Aug. 15th—-Main Fil.

CHICAGO, July 23.—Virtually all the worldly goods he possessed were sur- rendered to his wife today by Ralph B. Brumbaugh as the price of his free- dom and the right to give his name and a heritage of respect to the woman he loves and her little son and daughter. Mrs. Brumbaugh accepted the terms. They are that she shall receive a deed in fee simple of the Brumbaugh home at 4183 Drexel boulevard and all of the money that Brumbaugh now has de- posited in bank in her name, amounting to several thousand dollars. Brumbaugh will not only deed the Drexel boulevard home to his wife, but give her also a bill of sale for all of its furniture and appurtenances. To Sue for Divorce in September. Mrs. Brumbaugh on these terms will ask for a divorce when the Sep- tember term of court opens and dur- ing the summer when no court is in gession she will permit her husband 3d live in peace with Julia Millahl in the home he provided for her and their two children at 38716 Prairie avenue, All this was agreed to today ina conference between Joseph R. Burres, attorney for Mrs. Brumbaugh, and Charlies EB. Prbstein, the husband’s pttorney. Officials in the Federal Department of Justice said today they had not even considered the Brumbaugh case. Letters by the hundred are pouring in on Mrs. Brumbaugh. Most of them are from women who have had experiences like hers. She has received one letter, written by a man, which suggests that Mrs. Brumbaugh “gtve a name” to the children by adopting them, then ar- range with their mother to act as a Want and Prosperity.

Among the communications, names being withheld, was St. Louis, dated July 21, and “Your Sister in Trouble.’ It more than a coincidence that Brumbauch has decided upon just course of action advised in t'.is letter, {which reads: “I hope you will pardon my but I was placed in the same way as you by my husband—only I have two boys. Two wrongs will never make one right. I made up my mind I could never be happy with him again. I must be the only one—no half in mine. Well. my husband turned everything over me—houses and money. I got a divorce. I have started two homes for women and girls, and I find great hap- piness in helping others to be happy. My husband got married, but is not contented. They have a boy and a gir’. God help the children. I feel as if God will always make such and me happy if we only try.” A Chicago woman wrote: “Sacrifice your pride. You hold him in the hollow of your hand. Keep him there. Keep the name you have. You have a right to his love and money. Don’t grant him a divorce, whatever else you may do.”’ MOTHER GETS INJUNCTION AGAINST WIDOW’S ADMIRER Oklahoma Woman Trying to Keep Him Away From Daughter; He Gets a Lawyer. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., July 23.—Aft- er the de&th of George Moore, three years ago, Louis Crawford began to pay attention to Mrs. Bessie Moore, the young widow. The courtship was op- posed by Mrs. Moore's mother, Mrs. M A. Bader, also a widow. Mrs. Bader drove Crawford away and told-him to stay away. Then she be- gan calling the police and ordering the arrest of Crawford every time she found him in the Bader home. Crawford fought the cases in the Police Court and got out of most of them without paying a fine. The widow is alleged to have encour- aged him, but not in sight of her moth- er. In her mother’s presence, it is de- clared, she would vehemently order Crawford away and in half an hour telephone him to come back. A few days ago Mrs. Bader obtained an injunction.

A special election, to decide on the pro- posed negro segregation ordinanées, will be held not later than next February, unless the Board of Aldermen passes the ordirances this fall. This announcement was made today by the Election Board, which has found that the initiative petitions on this subject bear more than the number of names re- quired to call a special electior. One of the proposed ordinances pro- vides that negroes may not purchase or rent property in any block in which 75 per cent of the inhabitants are white, and that whites may not buy or rent property in any block where 75 per cent of the inhabitants are negroes. The other ordirance prohibits negroes from buying or renting property ia blocks entirely occupied by whites, and prohibits whites from buying or renting in blocks entirely occupied by negroes. It is supposed that some persons might vote for this ordinance who would not support the 75 per cent ordinance. If both should be enacted, the 75 per cent ordinance would supersede the less radi- cal one. One list of petitions presented to the Election Board, with 16,845 signatures, was found after revision to have 13,571 valid and qualified signatures. The char- ter requires on a special election for iniative petition only 7 per cent of the total registration at th: last election for Mavor. Tiis requirement at present amounts to 10,722. so that the segregation petition has many more names than re- quired. When the Poard of Aldermen is con- vened Sept. 17, the ordinances will ove presented. If the measure is not enacted within 6 days, or by Nov. 17, the Elec- tion Board is recvired to call a special election within 90 days, which wou!d be not later than next February. have to / Oxfords are NOW Sale Begins Tomorrow Morning. uf begins temorrow morning at 8:00-—and wer come news it will be to the many who regularly await the advent of our clearance sales.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. Post-Disp atch Circulation First 6 Months, 1915: sundey 35() 066 204,479 Daily Average Equaled Only by FOUR DAY Newspapers in the UNITED STATES — — SoS LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE : ‘The Bakery Combine Defended. _ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘| After reading the news account of the hear- ings in the case of the State of Missouri against ‘the American Bakery Co. of Tuesday’s issue, and ‘particularly your editorial in yesterday’s paper, ’ ball ’ a _ ; i IT cannot resist calling your ' facts which are* at variance with that editorial and also to a wrong interpretation which ’ | average reader will gain from the attention to somé the “head” over the news story, “ ‘Trust’ Loaves Change in Size, Never tn Price.” Litérally, that heading is true in face of the evidence adduced at the hearing as to changing the weight and not the price, but the average reader would not give a literal construction to the head, but, on the contrary, would look upon the reduction of the weight of the loaf without a corresponding price reduction as something heinous on the part of the American Bakery Co. What would any well-managed bakery do if flour (which constitutes probably 90 per cent of the ingredients of a loaf of bread) is increased from $8 .a barrel before the European war to as high as $7.80, if it did not either decrease the size of the loaf or raise the price of bread? One or the other was absolutely imperative if financial ruin was to be avoided. To raise the price is imprac- tical from a merchandising standpoint, because of the time-honored custom of selling bread at 6 cents a loaf. Undisputed testimony shows that the company has not been paying any dividends on common stock since the rise in the price of flour and that the weight was not decreased for a number of months, or until the large supply on hand had been exhausted. In another paragraph of that same editorial you say: The time may come when regulation ab to price, quantity and quality shall be demanded. It will be hastened by such action as that admitted by the St. Louls combine in attempting to DECEIVE THD PUBLIC AND TO IMPOSE UPON IT INFERIOR BRAND OF BREAD IN ORDER TO CONFUSE THE CONSUMER IN HIS CHOICE. I have attended practically every session of these hearings and not a scintilla of evidence has been adduced to show that the American Bakery »Co.—in any of its branches—has put out “inferior brands” in order to deceive the public and in that ~ assertion a serious injustice is done that company y ¥ pose, and no one denies this. ,and the men who are officering it.

SCHULTE, General Manager Interstate Grocer. : An Appeal for Help. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I lost my job two years and seven months ago. ) Had quite a sum of money; went into business, * § but went broke. Have only worked about 10 weeks in the past 14 months. Have a wife and four children, ages 3, 5, 7 and 9 years. Wife “took children away to a sister out on a farm > and she went into the city to work, but now she, too, is out on the farm and writes me that there ‘is nothing to do. Her brother-in-law is not fn ‘a position to help her, and the children cry for bread and go out in the woods and eat bilack- ‘berries because they (the children) are so hun- be gry.

My wife says if I do not get work she will either give the chil@ren away or take them to the river and I have walked ‘the streets here from one end to the other, but cam Gné nothing to do. I am about shoeless beginning to look like a tramp; my clothes tattered; am afraid to beg, as the f ‘ SIGNS OF AWAKENING. When will St. Louis awaken ? With this question the Post-Dispatch pointed out the damaging lethargy of this city with re- gard to the use of the Mississippi River for traf- fic. We recited the great preparations of New Orleans to capture the export and import trade of the valley. Davenport, Io., is getting ready to distribute commodities shipped by river and Chi- cago is opening water transportation to the gulf. Kansas City shrewdly keeps a boat running to St. Louis and return, chiefly for its, effect on rail rates. It pays. That St. Louis business men are beginning to realize the importance of a revival of river traffic ig shown by an interview with George Warren Brown in a local morning paper. Mr. Brown calls attention to the heavy inroads on St. Louis trade being made by Eastern cities through cheap rail- and-water rates. Large sections of Southwest trade territory are being captured by Eastern competitors. He suggests that St. Louis regulate rail rates, recapture ‘lost and win new trade terri- tory by constructing modern river-rail terminals and maintaining modern, well-equipped river barge lines. : The way to get river transportation is to go after it. It is a simple matter. Plans have al- ready been carefully worked out. All that is need- ed is money to put the plans through. The business men of St. Louis can assure the equipping and operating of @ St. Louis barge line. They can get the money; they have the ability. The opportunity is within their grasp. As for terminals, the city can get immediate possession of the river front railway now in pos- session of the Terminal Railway. Bonds can be issued for a terminal plant. If St. Louis does not awaken to the importance of river traffic serious consequences to our trade and manufacturing interests, which are the life of the city, may follow. St. Louis business men could well afford to support a barge line without a cent of profit. It would pay in reduced rail- road rates and increased trade. But the barge line properly equipped and well managed would pay in profits. WHEN WILL ST. LOUIS AWAKEN? = = % a President Wilson has had enough replies from the Kaiser; now he wants an answer. = = to oe QUALITY OF MANUFACTURED BREAD. The bread consumer who takes his meals at good restaurants is served with a variety of tasty ap- petizing breads, evidently made with high-grade flour. A hungry man could eat his fill of such bread, in an emergency, with satisfaction. When it comes to the manufactured bread sold at retail, the evidence of the use of high- grade flour is, with few exceptions, lacking. Especially with the products of the local Bread Trust, which has confessed that its labels were materials, some merely being inferior to the rest, the appetizing factor has not been apparent. Prac- tically all of these brands of bread strike one as being made to sell rather than to eat. It is doubt- ful if the baker himself, if he knew what good bread is, would willingly consume his own product. Some loaves are wrapped and some are not, but they all taste alike. The excuse for cutting the weight of the loaf from 18 to 12 ounces has been that the price of flour has risen. It has not risen in anything like the ratio that the weight of the loaf has been re- duced. But the assumption we are asked to ac- cept is that the bakers have been using the high- cost, best brands of flour. If that were true, why is the quality so inferior to that of bread in the high-class restaurants? It is a double wrong to cut the poor man’s loaf down and at the same time serve him with a loaf that lacks tastiness and nourishment. a A ie. _ 2 se 4 AN EXAMPLE OF SANE REGULATION. The Interstate Commerce Commission has again demonstrated that it is possible to revise rates up- ward as well as downward. Modifying a previous order, the commission holds that the revenue of the principal express companies is inadequate and grants permission for a moderate increase in the charge for service. This is along the line of sane and sensible regulation. There is nothing sacred about a railroad rate or an express rate. Neither can be determined with scientific accuracy. Each is arrfved at by a process of expert guesswork. But if bookkeeping is honest it is easy to discover whether a public-service corporation's operating revenue is adequate. When it is not adequate, an increase in rates is likely to be the only solution of the problem. When earnings are unreasona- bly large, the cure is a reduction in the charges imposed upon shippers. What is a fair rate today is not necessarily a fair rate tomorrow. The public usefulness of the ‘Interstate Commerce Commission will in- crease steadily with its readiness to advance or reduce rates to meet actual conditions. = = = = =e. THE GREAT ELECTRIC AGE. In an interview on his seventieth birthday, Theodore Newton Vall, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., voices an idea and belief long popular. “I believe,” he says, “elec- tricity is going to be adapted more and more to our daily service. All we have done is but a beginning.” Their dream of an electrified world is moving scientists and inventors all over the world, and pe misleading and its brands all made with similar ST.

Now| we pull our trolley cars through wires above or below ground, move trains by the third rail, give life to automobiles by heavy batteries. When shall we be able to dispense with such mediums? When shall we be relieved from the necessity of using power to produce power? We have the “white power” of our waterways, but even when that is fully developed it will | scarcely meet every demand. One wonders if an age of electric miracles might not be possible when everybody's kitchen shall be drawing its cooking magic from an unseen atmosphere, or perhaps from the sun’s rays and every piece of motor apparatus, everywhere, shall reach con- fidently *into space for a tireless, invisible, un- failing fount of energy. _— = * we SS NOT YET A FLYLESS CITY. Those of us who have stayed at home will be glad to hear from “St. Louisan,” whose letter ap- peared gn Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, that, as com- pared with New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Pitts- burg and many small towns and villages in various parts of the country, St. Louis is “fly-free.” That is the word used by St. Louisan. He evidently means that the city’s condition as regards flies is now almost as good as if one could use the word “flyless.”’ 3 A flyless St. Louis is our goal. We are working to that end. The Health Department, the schools, and many private individuals, are co-operating to get rid of the pest. But as long as the sources ci production--the neglected stables, refuse strewn alleys, filthy vaults and unscreened tenemcnts— exist, we s_all have flies. A walk through the poorer sections of the city will convince one how niuch remains to be done. There are still, perhaps, a few millions of specimens of Musca Domestica flying around and carrying infection with them Even on the downtown streets many flies may be geen, on any warm afternoon, unmolested and un- afraid. A few more fly traps in this part of the city are needed. But the clean-up and keep clean method is the only one that will bring results. This applies to every part of the city. Flies travel on street cars and especially on garbage wagons. If they are allowed to multiply in the alleys and slums, it wil! be in vain to expect that the best residence dis- tricts can be made flyless. y ewe % CHINAFYING THE U. 8. Col. William Chinnings Bryan is trying to Chinafy the United States, “reduce it to the leve! of impotence to which old China sank’’—accord- ing to Col. Roosevelt, who could have meant no other in his allusion to “professional pacificists. peace-at-any-price, nonresistance, universal arbi- tration people.” The verb Chinafy conveniently suggests the sub- stantive Chingo, as opposed to Jingo. They ar: extremely opposed to each other, and when thi Great Chingo meets the Great Jingo, as they seen in danger of doing out there on the California coast, we hope the clash will prove beneficial t both. We should like to see the Chingo administe: some soothing syrup to the Jingo, and the Jing: force a little sand into the Chingo’s craw. —@@o- - ---— JUDGE ROMJUE BEVARES OF VIDDERS. Sam Veller’s advice, ‘““‘Bevare of vidders,” was not lost on Judge Romjue, who emerges more tri- umphant than the immortal Pickwick from a wicked attempt to discredit him. Politics often spells plots, and sometimes crimes. For the pres- ent we leave to the prosecuting authorities—if they can make anything of it—the darkly Machia- vellian aspect of Democratic scandal in the First Congressional District, while we admire the ro- mantic fortunes of Judge Romjue, who bids fair tc be persecuted into office. The innocent are al- ways lucky; the injured innocent, the envy of all rivals for the voters’ sympathies. Judge Romjue’s enemies apparently have done their best to make his campaign for him. If he does. not win now it will be his own fault. His conspicuous qualification of ability to escape pit- falls, entanglements and embarrassing associa- tions cannot fail to impress the voters. A vidder- proof Congressman should not be susceptible to the lobbies, but prove ever true to his constitu- ents. Would that we might always have a vidder- proof government : ~~ &e-— GAMBLING ON WAR ORDERS. One of the “war arder” stocks under manipulation in Wall street happens to be of a company having a management honest enough tc warn the public that its finances and busi- ness do not warrant the recent course of the mar- ket: The common stock is in the hands of people who evidently intend to hand it to others at the highest price at which it can be sold, and this evidently is the reason for the large mis- statements made about war-order contracts, What is true of this stock is no doubt more or less true of other stocks being kited in the mar- ket on reports of large war orders. This is one of the worst gambles that ever raged in Wall street, the only saving fact about it that ‘it is confined to a small section of the market list. There are large war order Hsts and their de- mands on the product of the country at high prices will be heavy. But their magnitude is be- ing purposely exaggerated. Their continuance is of the most uncertain character. The war will not last forever, and a war that may end as quickly as it began is the riskiest kind of ground on which to build a speculation. The public has only lately been treated to an old-time deception of the Wall street market worked deliberately from the inside of a corpora- tion, whose officers openly admitted as much when the game was over, and seemed to glory in the fact.

But I said nothing more, and—as a re- sult—Jane attended the dinner and I.n- cius Hemming brought. her home. The day Miss Reese was expected back, Jane and John left for a long visit with Jane’s mother. We parted without much regret on either side. Jane, I knew, was glad to get away for a time. And, to be honest, I W124 not at all averse to her going. Then, too, it would do John good. ‘“‘When you are ready to return, Jane, I will run up and spend Sunday, and then come back with you,’’ I told her while riding to the station. “Bully for you, dad!’’ John ex- claimed, and I didn’t realize until after they had gone that Jane made no re- ply. I kissed Jane good-by, as I always had when she left me, but she did not return my caress, and I pretended not to notice; but just the same I wondered at it all the way back to the office. It was the first time since we had been married that Jane had ever left me without kissing me good-by. When I returned to the office Miss Reese was already there. She haa changed her street clothes for her uni- form, and was busying herself just as though she had never been away. A Visit to Jane. PLUNGED into my work with re- | newed interest, and time passed swiftly, although I missed John and his mother, especially at meals. I hat- ed to eat alone, so would often per- suade Miss Reese to go out to dinner with me, instead of dining at home alone. When I first asked her she re- fused, but when I insisted, telling her I was lonely and that we could talk over anything that had happened dur- ing the day as well in a restaurant as in the office, she consented to go with me occasionally. ; The six weeks passed by and Jane had as yet said nothing about comings home. I was really lonely, and longed for her and John. I wrote her ask- ing when she expected to leave. Not receiving an immediate reply, I took an early Saturday train, intending to remain over Sunday, then bring them back with me Monday morning. “Aren't you almost ready to come home?” I asked Jane, after greetings were over. “I shall forget what it | Mr. Wolf’s Green Eyes Sandman story of how they | were changed from dark brown by the Fairy Queen, long ago. —— By Mrs. F. LOO ee N the long ago the Fairy Queen was very fond of the wolves and used to give them many things. Then one day she heard something that hurt her very much, She heard the wolves were eating up some of the other animals. So she sent for the King Wolf and asked him if it were true. “Oh! no indeed,’’ said the King Wolf. “We would never do such a thing as that. We know you want all the ani- mals to live, and we always help them whenevc- we can.” But somehow the Queen did not quite believe the old King Wolf, and so she decided to ffnd out for herself. She knew where there lived a dear little family of lambs, and so she sent some of her fairies to watch them so that nothing would happen to them. uf course the Queen knew that the wolves were fond of the lambs, and if they ate any of the animals it would be them. Her fairies tried very hard to find the wolves stealing the little lambs, but could never catch them at it. One day, however, one of the fairies came to the Queen, and, with tears in her eyes, told her that one of the little lambs had been stolen. HE Queen was very angry, and T made up her mind to find out just who was stealing her Tittle lambs. But she did not know how to go about it. Then SO she got an idea. She sent a messenger to the Snow Queen asting her to send a heavy snowstorm. The Snow Queen replied she would be glad to help the Fairy Queen, and that very night it should snow very hard. And it did, for the next morning the ground was all covered with a trackless céver- let of white, sparkling snow. That afternoon one of the fairies came te the Queen and, with tears in her eyes, told her that another little lamb had been stolen. This did not surprise the Queen this time, however, for she just got into her sleigh and rode to where the little lamb lived. She had brought one of her magicians with her, and he made a careful study of the footprints which were in the snow. There was only one track, so the Queen knew trat whatever animal had made the footprints was the one that had stolen the lambs. When she got back to the palace she called all the animals to her. Then the magician started to find out which of the animals made a print like the ones in the snow. As each animal proved that it wasn't his, he was free to go. After a while there was only the lion, the leopard and A. Walker. ——— usked the angry Queen. “Only that it was not I,” replied the wolf, still hoping to get out of it by lying. “It is bad enough to steal, but to lie in addition is too much,’ the Queen said. And as she said it she touched each of the wolf's eyes with her magic wand. As soon as she did they turned from dark brown to light green and shone as if they were lights. And so after that the wolves have al- ways had bright green eyes, that can be seen in the darkness, when the ani- mal's body is invisible. (Copyright by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) First Great American Painter. HE first portrait painter of the a United States to win general fame was Thomas Sully, who was born 132 years ago. One of the first cele- brated American historical paintings, “Washington Crossing the Delaware,”’ was the product of his genius. Sully established himself in Richmond as a portrait painter in 1803, but soon re- moved to New York, and in 1810 to Phila- delphia, which city was afterward his home. In addition to ‘“‘Washington Crossing the Delaware,” his famous historica! paintings include ‘“‘The Capture of Mal. Andre” and “‘Miranda.”” As a portrait painter his most notable subjects were chomas Jefferson, Lafayette, James Madison, John Marshall, Fanny Kemble ond Queen Victoria. He visited England to paint the gir! Queen in her coronation robes. Sully lived to an advanced age, dying in Philadelphia in 1872.

There is no harm in a girl's taking a short spin in a machine in the daytime with a young man with whom she is well acquainted, but she should never go in the evening unless some older woman is along. The young girl who is frequently seen dining alone with men in hotels and restaurants is sure to be talked about; and she has only herself to biame if she is called “gay’’ or “fast.” But there are, of course, occasions when :t is perfectly proper for an older woman to dine with an old man friend. A young girl should never, in the summer, go on an excursion alone with a man unless it is possible to get home early in the evening; but, of course, ‘if they are with a party of friends they can all take a much later boat or car than can the young couple alone.

The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed that this year marks the seven hundredth anni- versary. He was persecuted and con- demned and much of his work destroyed, so that the extent 6f his discoveries cannot be definitely known. It is certain that he was centuries ahead of his ignorant and credulous times in chemis- try, mathematics and .mechanics. Branded as a magician, he was thrown into prison. From 1277 until a short fime before his Jeath Bacon was immured in a filthy cell. He is said to have in- vented the camera obscura, the air pump and the diving bell, and he was ac- quainted with the uses of optical lenses and the nature of gunvowder, although the projectile power of gunpowder apn- pears not to have been discovered until the following-century. It is said that during a war Bacon set fire to the chief buildings in a town by using burning lenses. ee A Tom Turkey “Sitter.”’ TOM" turkey owned By Carl Bis- low, a farmer living near Center- ville, Minn., displayed unmistakable tendencies to “‘sit.’’ Efforts to dislodge him failed, so the family determined to test his sincerity by placing a comple- ment of duck eggs under him.

It has been traced back only as far as the latter part of the eighteenth century, and it did not be- come common until after the first dec- ade of the nineteenth. Many explanations of the name have been offered, all of which assume that the term ‘‘Indian’’ used in this connec- tion refers to the American Indians. A recent note in the Monthly Weather Review calls attention to a totally dif- ferent use of this term, in which the reference is not to the American Indians but to East India. Under the British Board of Trade reg- ulations, one of the load-lines marked on ships bears the initials “I. S.,”’ this being the maximum depth to which ves- sels can be loaded for voyages during the ‘Indian summer,’’ i. e., the fine sea- son in the Indian seas. Hiow long has the term “Indian sum- mer’’ been used in this sense? It is not recorded in any dictionary, nor, appar- ently, in any work on meteorology.

There couldn't be tn anv- thing you—and Miss Reese would do.” Jane replied cynically. ‘“‘But as I am lunching with Mr. Hemming today, I! thought I would tell you myself, rather than allow you to find it out from serv- ants—as I did.”’ “Lunching with Hemming,’ I repeat- ed, scarcely believing I had heard aright. “That's what I said.

CHICAGO, July 23.—The suspen- sion of Manager Rowland of the Chicago Americans which was im- posed three days ago and which aroused Owner Comiskey to make charges that the umpiring in the American League this year was the worst he had ever seen, was lifted today. It had been in effect three days, following a heated argument between Rowland and the umpires in the Boston series. —— CHICAGO, July 28.—Chicago base- pall fats who have watched recent Rames at Comiskey Park have writ- ten an open letter, being circulated and signed by hundreds of lovers of ~-@ Bame, protesting against the um- piring they have seen recently. The letter will be presented to President Ban Johnson this week. It backs up President Comiskey in his fight for competent umpiring. The letter, which censures the ar- bitrators for their decisions both for part follows: “Mr. Ban 8B, Johnson, American League of Baseball Clubs: “Dear Sir: Recently vou made the statement, and the papers printed the game, to the effect that you were en- Sirely satisfied with the umpiring utaff of your league. “We, the undersigned, have regular attendants at the played in Chicago this season. “In defense of President Comiskey, when he made the statement that the umpiring staff of the league was the worst in years, we gladly affix our Of course, as far as the president Professional been games cerned, we know nothing; but of those played on the South Side we wish to advise you, if you were not present at them, that the umpiring was not up to the standard. “It is not so much that the rulings of your arbitrators have gone against the home club, but some of the deci- sions handed to the visiting clubs were entirely unsatisfactory.

T is believed that the following re- sults favorable to the new league will be noted, according to the Fed- eral League owner who introduced the plan. He told the Post-Dispatch he believed cut prices would: Double or triple the Federal League attendance. Make many new friends for the league. Take many patrons from Or- ganized Baseball. Possibly, though not probably, increase the league’s revenue. Enable Fed clubs to play be- fore crowds instead of three- fourths empty stands, in some cities. On the other hand a strong protest is being made against the adoption of a cut-price policy, on the theory that the reduction wguld cheapen the league and that once slashed, the ad- mission prices could never be re- stored. 7 . It’s Coming, Anyway. O the man looking on it appears that the reduction of major league prices as established today is inevitable: so why worry if it comes a year or two sooner? The day of the $2 theatrical show is almost over; and high baseball prices will go the same way, Baseball, ‘to the fan, an adequate return for the money spent, many have long~believed. Nor is the welfare of the patron always in the magnate’s mind, even at the price. Owners still make you pay for the score card, the key to that hieroglyphic score board. And after half ‘a century of attempts to improve the spectators’ end of the game, there is still no means of bulletining the official ruling on dubious plays, errors, hits, outs at the plate, etc. The value of any amusement is ex- actly what it can draw at the gate. The fact that, even with exceptional baseball races in all three leagues, few clubs have been drawing well, appears to show that the public doesn't think the game is quite worth the price. o With only one or two leagues in the field the old prices might stick around for a decade longer; but too much baseball will cut it down, if three organizations remain. a ee "depen doesn't offer Instead of paying two, four and six bits—yes, and sometimes eight land ten—to see ’em lose, you’ll get the same sensation for about one-half Call in Your Options, Hug. ILLER HUGGINS is either grow- ing a very good-crop of baseball] timber on his St. Paul farm or else the’ going in the American Associa- tion is unusually weak. At present the St. Paul club is moving away from its rivals faster than a picnicker from a polecat. The Saints have won 16 of their last 17 games, or 26 out of their last 30. This climb has been largely due to the work of Walton Cruise, Leo Dres- sen, Catcher Glenn and Pitchers Reese Williams and Steel. Since recovering from ankle June 29, Cruise has made 33 hits in 77 times at bat for an aver- age of .452. His average for the en- tire season is now .311. Why not swap teams with the Saints, Hug, and see if they can't put you up there a little higher? Rule Needs Changing. YRUS COBB, or Mr. E. A. Batch- elor, who is supposed to be beating out the good grist that is appearing under the famous player's signature, calls attention to a point that really ought to be cleared up in some way. It relates to the duties of an um- pire in case the runner, in attempt- ing to score, slides past the plate without touching it, unnoticed by the Opposing players, but observed by the official, Is the ump to remain silent and allow runs to count that never officially scored? Under the prevhiling system the umpire’never opens nis head until a complaint is made. Here ‘s the Ty Cobb version of a Detroit incident cov- ering the case: The necessity for a revision of the rules code was brought -ut very forcibly in one of the Boston games in Detroit. Tris Speaker tried tc steal home and beat the ball, and Baker, our ‘catcher, did not touch him. Um- pire Hildebrand did not make a de- cision at all, and severa? of our play- ers gathered around the plate end started to argue that the Boston man should be calied out. still “lildebrand stood mute and didn’t gay a word. Finally. George Burns, our first base- man, tumbled to the state of affairs and went over to the Yench and toucned Speaker, who was geiting drink of water. Then Hildebrand ruled Tris out. Now, the proposition that a play can come up on which no decision is to be given until somebody chases a player to the bench and tags him is all wrong. There ought to be a provision in the rules that on a play of this sort a man who slides past the plate with- out touching it is out, if he wets up and walks away without trying to get back and establish connections with the rubber. In other words, leaves the field of play * safe or out. * umpire is placed in 2 verv em- barrassing position by a thine of this sort as the rules now read. He doesn’t want to tip either team off to the fact that the runner has missed the plate, and Le looks foolish standing mute. Serious trouble is likely to arise over such a play, too. In the world’s series of 1911, VWarry Doyle of the Giants scored the winning run of the game without ever touch- in the plate. The .Athlietica did not happen to notice it. so they left the field and didn't make any protest. But the umpire, Bill Klem. suw that Dovie had slid by, and he caid that if the Mackmen’s catcher had sone after Doyle and touched him he would have an injured when he he should be Values From $6.50 to $12.50 ruled him out. ee ————— ~ mee oe eee At Less Than Clearing Sale Prices.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 23.—Bill Doak will in all probability measure strength with Jeff Pfeffer at Ebbetts Field this after- noon in the third game of the St. Louts- Brooklyn series, and Huggins is rather confident of pinching it off, as Pfeffer has not been going especially well of late. Huggins surprised students of the Zame by pushing in Hub Perdue for the second sortie yesterday, after losing the first, 1—vJ, but that he knew what he was about was proven when Hub all but shut the surprised Dodgers out, allow- ing them one run and four hits, while his teammates were running up the fine total of 11. The reason Huggins used Perdue was because Robinson sent in Coombs. Hug thought the Cards could trim the former Athletic, but it is dol- lars to dimes that even he did not sus- pect the great gpame the former Bos- tonian nad tucked away, just waiting fcr a chance to get it off his chest. It is some trick to hand Brooklyn the trimming Perdue did. Robinson has got a fightings aggregation of good ball play- ers and they look especially good after seeing the Giants. * Dolan Fails in Pinch. The first ~ame was a great battle be- tween Sallee and Smith, and while Smith won on his merits the Cards had a chance to tie it up in the ninth, aided thereto by a “bone’’ on the part of O., Miller, who was put in to catch after Schultz had been put in to run for Mc- Carty in the eighth, scoring the sole run of the game. Jack Miller had got on on’‘a hard smash to Cutshaw that come on a very short bound and bounced off the sec- ond: baseman’'s mitt for what is always scored as a gingle, though in Brooklyn it is called an’error. Snvder's singte to center was so hard, Miller was just able to get to second on it. Gonzales went in to run for Snyder and Butler neatly sac- rificed. Dolan wasn't there with the cleanup. He sent a hard drive to O’Mara who shot it to the plate heading off J. Miller, who started back towards third, O. Miller in pursuit. He chased Jack all the way back to the bag, touched both him and Gonzales, who had run over and stood perched on third, then threw to second to get Dolan, who had kept right on. Dolan was easily safe, but Gonzales started for the plate and Cutshaw’'s return throw was wide. Gonzales could easily have scored, had it not been for the fact he was already out, indicating clearly that if J. Mil- ler, Who the umpire decided was not out, had tried for the plate, he could have reached it casily. No Alibi for Sallee. There was no alibi for the one Brooklyn got. It was well earncd. three solid singles being used up in getting it across (he pan. Every one of them was a real hit, without quibble or argument. The second game was largely a swatfest the &t. Louisans and masterly pitch- ing by Purdue. The first three Jiits off Perdue were doubles—one by Mvers, the first man up in the opening inning. one by Getz in the second and one by “utshaw in the seventh. The fourth hit -vas a single by Wheat in the ninth. Three of the four hite—those by Myers. Cutshaw ard Wheat ——were made when the batsmen were the first up in their respective innings, but none of these men scored. Brooklyn's one run came in the second, when Cutshaw reached third after Long, then playing in right, dropped his fly and scored on Getz’ double to right. run by ee oe eT ee q 5 Norfolk e and Plain Coats It is the Second Floor Plan of Clothes Selling which elimi- Hig h Rents—Free Deliveries — ' Second Floor Credit Accounts—Bad Debts and All Superflu.us Expenses Jamerson Clothes Shops St. Louis Carleton Bldg., 6th and Olive Take Elevator:-:-Save’*5 to*lO Kansas City Ronfils Bldx.. 10th and Waltnut Lee Maxzee, All-Smith team of Smith we'd like to know pect to beat.
