JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 3%.—Attor- ney-General Barker returned to the cap- tal yesterday after a two months’ vaca- tion, and, after reading newspaper clip- pings showing the popular indignation with which his opinion diverting $514,5 from the school fund was received, is- sued a new opinion, completely revers- ing himself, and recommending that the State ‘Auditor return the money to the school fund.

Auditor Gordon stood on Attorney-General Barker's opinion and thus diverted $514,502 from the public school fund into the general revenue fund.

By Associated Presa BERLIN, via London, Aug. 30.—lIt is understood today that Germany's course with regard to the Arabic case has been decided upon and that it is in line with the recent concili- atory statement by Dr. von Beth- mann-Hol!weg, the German Chancel- lor. This development followed the re- turn to Berlin of the Chancellor, Ad- miral von Tirpitz and other partici- pants in the conference with the Ger- man Emperor at his headquarters on the Eastern front. No official statement has been made regarding the German decision, but there seems good ground for the belief that the Government has adopted the viewpoint set forth by the Chancellor. (In an interview with the Associated Press correspondent in Berlin last Wednesday, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg said that if the submarine commander in the Arabic case went beyond his in- structions, the Imperial Government would not hesitate to give such complete satisfaction to the United States as would conform to the friendly relations existing between both Governments.) President to Stay in Washington Till American-German Situation Clears. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—President Wilson has given up all idea of a fur- ther extended vacation this year. He had planned to spend September at Cornish, N. H., but his plans, it was announced today, now are not to leave Washington until the situation be- tween the United States and Ger- many clears, if he leaves at al!. The President already has received assurances from official .German sources, which he hopes will result in solving the controversy with Germany over her submarine warfare. He is vaiting, however, for Germany to make formal disavowal of the attack on tne Arabic and to give assurances of safety to Americans on the high seas in the future. Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, had returned today to the summer embassy on Long Island, satis fied that an amicable understanding would be reached regarding the Arabic tragedy aS well as al) other issues with Germany. He probably will not return here, pending the receipt by the Wash- ington Government of further word from Berlin. One dispatch from Ambassador Ger- ard which Secretary Lansing declared threw no light on the situation was the only development todar in the Arabic case. While Secretary Lansing refused to discuss the dispatch, it was inferred that the German Government did not yet have the report of the submarine commander and was not ready to make its explanation. MINISTER FOUND 10 Be THIEF AT GLEN ECHO CLUB The Rey. William Juergens, Em- ployed as Houseman, Admits Robbing Members. The Rev. William Juergeris, 2 German Luthéran clergyman, was under arrest today at police headquarters charged with stealing numerous articles from memvgrs of the Glen Echo Country Club, where he had. been employed for the last two weeks *s a houseman. A warrant charging grand larceny, a penitentiary offense, was issued against him at Clay- ton. The clergyman admitted the thefts and said he would throw himself on the mer- cy of the Court by pleading that he was a kleptomaniac. He resigned as pastor of St. Paul’s German Lutheran Church at Lynver, Ind., last April, he said, be- cause he had an uncontrollable habit of picking up useless articles in the homes of members of his congregation when on his pastoral calls. The prisoner, since his arrest Satur- day night, had managed to conceal his identity. He had giver his name as Max Stein, and at the Glen Echo Club he had been on the payroll as ‘‘Max.” Admits His Identity. A search of his room, at 1614 Olive street, this morning, led to the finding of a diploma issued to the Rev. William Juergens by a German Lutheran thool at Columbus, O. When confronted with this paper the prisqner admitted he was Juergens. He then told of resigning his Indiann pastorate and of working afterward on a farm at Robertsville, Mo. Three weeks ago he came to St. Louls and worked a week in a restaurant. By applying to an employment agency he got a house- man’s place at the Glen Echo Club. Thomas Murry, the club manager, said his suspicion had fallen on ‘‘Max”’ after several club members had complained of losing sweaters, shirts, belts and stickpins. T. D. Kelly lost a suit of clothes. Murry sent policemen to “Max's” room Saturday night. There they found three sweater Coats, a sweater, nine shirts, a belt, a ‘lesk blotter and a picture. val- ued at $15, all of which Murry identified as having been stolen from the club. The prisoner denied having taken Kel- ty,s suit. Expelled From Eden Seminary. Juergens said he came to the United States from Germany four years ago, after studying for the ministry abroad He said he was expeted tn 1913 °from Eden Seminary, in St. Louis County, for writing articles the faculty considered objectionable. Afterward he attended school in Columbus and began active church work. He is 27 years old and about six feet tall. Juergens was employed with othere in making improvements at the club. S. T. G. Smith, one of the club's re- organizers, said several thousand dol- lars was being spent in improvements and that the members, numbering about 160, were playing golf and enjoying all the privileges of the club. The present membership includes only those members, who were invited to join under the reorganization plans an- nounced by Albert Bond Lambert and his associates, after they bought the property at auction. The other mem- bers, known as the “outs,” have a suit pending to set aside the sale of the club ‘property to the Lambert clique. Want a Home?

CARRIE NATION'S PORTRAIT AND HATCHET FOR HISTORICAL HALL Main Gallery of State Society at Topeka to Receive Mememtoes of Saloon Smasher. WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 30.—Mrs. Carrie Nation’s portrait and her hatchet are to be placed in the State Historical Society at Topeka. For years a photograph of Mrs. Nation and her hatchet hung on the walls of the Wichita police station, where they were placed as a result of the frequent arrest of Mrs. Nation and her associates for smashing saloon win- dows, bar “fixtures and mirrors. The Board of Commissioners recently or- dered that the photograph and the hatchet be given to Mrs. Myra Mc- Henry of Wichita, who was 19 times in jail with Mrs. Nation for disturbing the peace. The photograph is being enlarged, business men paying the cost. The por- trait and the hatchet will be placed in the main gallery of Memorial Hall at Topeka.

OVERCOATS COMFORTABLE Rainfall for Month Is 11.59 Inches — Weather Man Says He Can’t Explain Conditions. With August coming to a frigid close, Weather Forecaster Hayes finds from his records that only on 15 days this suinmer has the temperature been 9% degrees or higher, compared with 56 such days last year. The highest temperature this year was 94 degrees, on July 15, and the lowest recorded at & and 7 o'clock this morning. Last year the highest temperature was 102 degrees, on July 11, and the lowest was 63 de- grees, on Aug. 29. Last summer the mercury climbed to a point eight de- grees higher than it did this year, and this summer it fell 19 degrees lower than.it did last year. There were two days last May when the temperature was in the nineties, no stch days in June, 10 such days in ‘July and three days so far this month. Last year there were fcur days in May when the mercury climbed to the nine- ties, 19 such days in June, 4% days in July and 13 in August. After Aug. 23, last year, the mercury never touched 90 for the remainder of the summer or éuring autumn. Last year there were high tempera- ture marks in June, July and August. In June the highest was 101, in July 102 and in August 98. St. Louis’ present summer, if it may be called that, is passing away with a number of persons seen about town wearing overcoats. The highest tem- perature yesterday was 72, at 2 p. m. Late in the afternoon a high wind car- ried the temperature steadily downward until it reached its lowest mark of the season this morning. The rainfall thus far this month was 11:58 inches, which is 8.97 inches above was 53 degrees; as q normale recester ee said. the weather bureau could not attempt an exp’ana- tion of what has caused the unusually cool summer. He knew it was the result of high and low pressures, he said, but he would not hazard a guess as to what pressures. Summer ends Sept. 21. Never But Twice Before Has Chicago Weather Been So Cold in August.

In Kansas City the mercury dropped to 46.8, which was within .3 of a degree of the lowest August record, established Aug. 4, 1891. Other temperatures report- ed to the local Weather Bureau were: St. Joseph, Mo., 46; Oklahoma City, Ok., 48; Dallas, Tex., 60; Emporia, Kan., 4; Junction City, 48, and Atchison, 4.

LILLY BUSCH LOANED $10,000 10 NORDICA ON JEWELS Pearl Necklace and Tiara: Were Given as Security for the . Advance, REVEALED BY WILL SUIT Diva’s Necklace Is Valuable, but the Diamonds Turn Out to Be Paste. The contest in New York over the estaie of Mme. Lillian Nordica, has-re- vealed that a pearl necklace and tiara or crown, set with stones that look like diamonds, are held in the safe at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis as security for a loan supposed to be $10,000 or more, made to Mme. Nordica, by Mrs. Lilly Busch, wiaow of Adolphus Busch. a Experts who have examined the jew- els, a Post-Dispatch reporter learned have found that the pear! necklace, while not of remarkably fine quality, is possibly worth the amount of the loan made by Mrs. Busch, but that the tiara is paste and of little value. Mme. Nordica died of pneumonia at Batavia, Java, May 10, 1914, as a result of exposure when a ship on which she was returning to the United States from Australia was wrecked on a reef. Mrs. Lilly Busch is in Germany in her villa at Langenschwalbach, on the Rhine. Husband Contesting Will. Interest in the Nordica jewels recently has been heightened by litigation over the noted opera singer's estate. Mme. Nordica’s husband, George W. Young, a New York stock broker, has denied the authenticity of a will purporting to have been made by his wife shortly before her death. In this will she left her jewels and other property to relatives and cut her husband off with practically nothing. Young denies the autnenticity of this will and is insisting on the probating of an earlier will in which Mme. Nordica left all her jewels to him. The contest is kill vending ir a New Jersey court. It was dearned today that Mrs. Busch is awaiting the outcome of this litiga-]. tion befo¥e presenting her formaT ¢tlaim for the jeans which she made on the pearl necklace and the tiara. Members of the Busch family have been reluctant to discuss the loan, or the jewels held in the brewery safe. They have feared that publicity might give the impression that Mrs. Busch loaned the money on the jewels as a purely business transaction for profit, though it is known that for years she has been a friend and admirer of Mme Nordica, and probably for sentimental reasons would have been willing to ad- vance money to the opera singer with- out taking the jewels for security. Loan for More Than 810,000. The amount of the original loan is said to have been between $10,000 and $16,000. This may have* been @dded to later, as it is learned that when Mme. Nordica started back to the United States from Australia, shortly before her death, she cabled Mrs. Busch, asking that an additional sum be advanced. The loan was made when Mme. Nordica was about to start on a con- cert tour of the world about three years ago. She was returning to:the stage from which she had announced her retirement several years before. It was then a matter of common knowledge in the musical profession that, while she had large holdings of jewels and real estate, she needed ready money to finance her tour. Mme. Nordica visited Mrs. Busch in St. Louls and terms of the loan were agreed orn at the Busch home here. The opera singer insisted on leaving the pearl necklace and the tiara as security. One assertion made by persons here who knew of the loan was that the tiara pledged by Mme. Nordica with Mrs. Busch was the famous diamond tlara presented to her on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York at a farewell testimonial per- formance after she announced that she was to marry George W. Young and re- tire from the stage. Jewels in Basket of Flowers, | In his book, “Success in Music and How It Is Won,” Henry T. Finck thus describes the presentation: “It was the greatest event, the most triumphal occasion in her career. After the first act, when the curtain had been raised repeatedly in response to tumult- uous applause, a number of baskets of flowers were handed up to her, and in one of these was a’ casket containing a large jewel case. “This M. Jean de Reszke gave to the prima donna, who opened it and dis- played the much-talked-of tiara with the 233 diamonds, that was made for America’s greatest singer with the con- tributions of 128 of her admirers, in- cluding the names of many leading so- clety people. Fraulein Olitzka helped to put the tiara on Madame Nordica’'s head, while the curtain was raised for a moment so that the audience had an op- portunity to see how becoming it was.” No inventory of Mme. Nordica’s es- tate has been filed, so that the where- abouts of the famous testimonial tiara is not known. As St. Louis experts have said the one in the brewery safe is paste, it probably is not the one given to Mme. Nordica at her farewell per- eam nse to a telegram sent by the Continued on Page 2, Column 3. — " ” — eS Oe Oe OO OO A Directory every Sunday. 7 ~~ Oe i i il ill ill it ill il i i eee a a a a a a i a a a eg a i a —_~sr™~ Widow Who Holds Gems of Late Opera Star as Security for Loan WOMAN IN JAIL iT DAY BECAUSE SHE. LET WEEDS GROW Law Notoriously Disregardéd Suddenly Enforced Against Miss | Murphy of Webster Groves. Miss Margaret Murphy, 40 years old, living on North Rock Webster Groves, after having passed one night in jail upon s. chargo of permitting weeds to grow more than 12 inches in height on property she owns at Elm street and Big Bend .road, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Belding this morn- ing. She asked for a continuance of 24 hours, which was granted. Many of her friends were present and expressed amazement that a woman should be the first to be imprisoned for a violation of a law, the enforcement of which had been notoriously slack. Complaint has been made by several persons that Miss Murphy had permit- ted the weeds on her land to grow to a height of 16 feet. The Marshal served notice upon her, Aug. 7, to have the weeds cut. Aug. 17 Miss Murphy was summoned before Justice Belding and was permitted to sign her own bond for her appearance Aug. 21 to answer the charge of neglecting to have the weeds cut. road, Kept in Jail for a Day. When she did not apepar for a hearing she was arrested last Saturday afternoon and was not allowed to sign her own bond until she had been kept in the jail for about % hours. Miss Murphy told a Post-Dispatch re- porter today that she had allowed the weeds to grow because residents of the neighborhood had been using the prop- erty as a dumping ground and that she wished to keep the rubbish hidden. She said also that when the weeds were kept down the property was used for grazing. She said she had frequently asked the Marsha] to send men to drive Cattle from the property. Trial of the case was continued until tomorrow morning. Weeds higher than the legal 12- inch limit are growing on several lots in Webster Groves ,and Marshal Knickman was asked why he arrest- ed. Miss Murphy rather than others. He said her weeds were the highest he had seen, and he took a reporter to see them. Knickman is 6 feet 3 inches tall, and the weeds were a foot and « half over his head. Weeds on other lots were as high as 4 feet. Says It Is a Test Case. The Marshal said the local weed ordi- nance Was a new one, and that when it went into effect, a few weeks ago, he notified property owners to cut their weeds. Most of them complied, but he said Miss Murphy was particularly stub- born, and that because of the height of her weeds, he decided to arrest her first, and make a test case. If Justice Beld- ing fines Miss Murphy tomorrow, Knick- man said, he will begin a general move- ment to compel the cutting of weeds, with the co-operation of Chairman peey of the local Health ‘Bear: More than 3000 ene offers in the Post-Dispatch Real Estate and Want BULGARI DELAYS TURKISH TREATY Postpones Signing, It Is Said, Be- | cause of Sharp Warning From Quadruple Entente.

By Associated Presse. BERLIN, via London, Aug. %.—Ger- man forces have made a further ad- vance on the Russian fortress of Grod- no, the only one of the fortified posi- tions near the German border which remains in the Russians’ possession. Official announcement was made today of the capture of Lipsk, in Northern Russian Poland, about 3%) miles to the west of Grodno. The statement from headquarters to- day, says: “Army group of Field Marshal vex Hindenburg: The troops of Gen. von Beseler are stationed in the region sur- rounding the bridgehead south of Fried- richstadt. In an engagement east of the Niemen, the army of Gen, von Eichhorn reached a point northeast of Olita. An additional 1600 prisoners and seven can- non were captured. In the direction of Grodno, the town of Lipsk, on the Bobr River, was taken by storm and the enemy forced to surrender. The Widra, a tributary of the Sukelka, was crossed by our troops. The Eastern border of the forest directly east of Bialystok has been reached at several points. “Army group of Prince Leopold: In the Bieloblezh forest fighting goes on _ for possession of the over the Hungarian troops under Gen. ¥v Woyrsch drove the enemy out of his po- © sition at Suchodol, on the easterr bor- der of the forest, and at Sze. .szowo and are now closely pursuing him. ‘Army group of Field Marshal von Mackensen: In order to render pos- sible the retreat of their rear guard di- visions through the marsh district, the Russians made a stand once more yes- terday on a line in the Koddubno dis- trict south of Kobrin. They were de- feated although they brought back and threw into the battle some divisions which previously had been falling back.” Cavalry Hampers Retreat. With the breaking of the Russian lines along the Zlota Lipa River in East Galicia, where the Teutons have re- sumed activity on a section of the front where for a long time they have been merely holding their positions, the Hussian extreme left, which hitherto has been unaffected by the general re- feat, now is involved in the genera! re- tirement. Military experts express the belief that the invaders soon will be expelled from that little corner In Ga- licia, where alone they have been able tc maintain a foothold on Austrian soll. This development, together with the sharp advance by the Austrians north of Kovel, is believed here to indicate the opening of a campaign against the fortress triangle formed by the strong- holds of Lutsk, Dubno and Rovno, erect- ed as a bar to access to Southern Rus- sia. ' Armies Separated by Swamps. The Russian armies retreating north and south of Brest-Litovsk are sepa- rated by the Rotikno swamps and mili- tary men here say that the Austro-Ger- man strategists are in a position to mass forces at will against either Russian wing and expose it to a crushing de- feat.

Justice of the Peace Grassmuirck this morning undertook to ansewr ‘the ques- tion “What is a room?” The question came up in a suit brought by the State cf Missouri against John Kelly, pro- prietor of the Acme Hotel at 418 Lucas avenue. | In former years Kelly has been pay- ing a $10 per year hotel license fee, which is the amount charged for hotels of from 20 to 50 rooms. This year in- spectors decided the hotel had 100 rooms and demanded a $25 license fee, which Kelly refused to pay. Kelly’s attorney contended that the majority of the apartments in the hotel are not rooms because the partitions between them do not reach to the ceil- ing. A Massachusetts Supreme Court Gecision was cited which said that a room must have perpendicular and hori- zontal planes. It was argued that the apartments have no upper horizontal planes, because the walls do not reach to the ceiling. Webster’s dictionary was quoted in support of the State’s argument that the apartments are rooms. The dictionary says a room is a space tn a building marked off or set apart by partition, or an apartment in a house. Justice Grassmuck held that the apart- ments are rooms because they are gur- rounded by walls and separated from other apartments by doors with locks and used for occupational purposes. He entered judgment against Kelly for $25. More than 8000 Home offers in the Post-Dispatch Real Estate and Want Directory every Sunday.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF CITY WILL BEGIN WORK SEPTEMBER 7 80,000 Children Expected to Be in Place—Supt. Blewett Believes At- tendance Will Go Above 100,000. Bighty thousand St. Louis boys and girls are expected to be in their places in the public schools and the high schools, when ‘‘teacher’’ calls the first class on opening day, Sept. 7, one weck from tomorrow. Last year’s enroli'ment on opening day was 77,766, and the at- tendance for the school year was 99,444, so that Supt. Blewett believes the num- ber will go well above 100,000 in the com- ing year. The new Grover Cleveland High School, Virginia avenue and Osage street, with room for 1500 pupils, wil! open with an expected attendance of 9) or so. The new Bryan Mullanphyv Schvol, Klemm and Shaw avenues, will have two rooms ready for the opening day, and the rest’ within a short time. Examinations of pupils coming from other places, for the high schools, will be held at each high school Friday and Saturday, and examinations for the Harris Teachers’ College will be held there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The night-school season will open Oct. 11, with especial attention to the educa- tion of foreigners for American citizen- ship. The United States naturalization officers will co-operate in this work.

B.C, STEVENS JR. ON TRIAL ON EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE Woman Alleges He Diverted $150 En- trusted to Him to Reduce a Mortgage. The trial of B. C.

Mrs. Sherman alleged that on Dec. 23, 1912, she entrusted to Stevens $150 to be paid to reduce a mortgage on her property and that he diverted the money to other uses. Stevens is under a similar indictment on a charge preferred by Miss Mary business partner of B. C.

Fifteen thousand persons in $t. Louis who have declared their intentions of becoming citizens of the United States are not availing themselves of the on- portunity to do so, according to M. V. Bevington, chief naturalization examin- er, in the Federal Building. Of 2,000 holders of ‘first papers,’’ Naturaliza- tion Examiner Bevington says, 3000 have already lost their opportunity to perfect their citizenship, and he estimates that within two months a like number of declarations will also expire. By the time the next presidential eiection rolls about, Bevington asserts, approxiniately 5000 aliens will have lost opportunity to perfect their full right to citizenship if they do not in the meantime take out ‘‘second’”’ or ‘final papers.”’ Under the naturalization law all declarations of.intention expire in seven years. Them. persons holding such pa- pers are required to start all over again by re. declaring an intention to become a citizen. Many who take out “first papers,’’ through ignorance of the law or neglect, fail to avail themselves of their opportunity t» perfect citizen- shi pafter their declaration of intention is two years old. May Vote on First Papers. Under the constitution of the State, a holder of a declaration of intention is permitted to vote at elections after it is one year old and while it is five years old. Many continue to vote on “first papers’ for years after its issu- ance and after their rights under it Have expired. Many have thought that the “first paper’’ made them citizens in every sense of the word, and often they go for years believing they are citizens until their right of suffrage is challenged. In speaking today of general naturali- zation conditions in this country, Ex- aminer Bevington said. “The matter of citizenship is one of increasing importance, particularly were | seers: See ee eee ee ee ENDS INDIGESTION AFTER EATING Just because the pepsin pills, soda mints and other artificial digestive tablets you have been taking no longer give you the desired relief and you must take two, four or six instead of one to stop your heart burn, bloating, sour rising, belching and stomach lump, it’s no sign there is no quick relief for you, but a sure sign that it’s high time you changed your medicine.

There is an old @ rem Mi-o-na Stomach Tableté those of foreign birth are concerned. For instance, in case of war between the United States and a foreign Power, the subjects of that country resident in the United States at the time, would un- der our laws be debarred from natural- ization during the period of such war. Again, property as well as civic rights depend very often wholly on the citi- zenship status of the person con- cerned. “The children of those who are for- eign-born are especially concerned, as }the naturalization of the parent confers ciuzenship upon his minor children, who may at the time be dwelling within the United States. An American woman who marries an alien thereby becomes an alien, and she is dependent upon her husband becoming naturalized to regain her citizenship. The laws of the ed by them to the individual and his property, recognize no distinction be- tween the native and the naturalized. Declarations of intention, however, do not confer the benefits and privileges of citizenship, and accord their holders little voice in the affairs of this State. Friendly Interest Needed. “The number of aliens who have filed their declarations of intention in this county is out of all proportion to those that have actually applied for natural- ization. It is believed that if the native, as well as naturalized, citizens of the count ywould take a friendly interest in their alien friends and neighbors, im- pressing upon them the duty they owe to themselves, their families and adopt- ed country to complete their citizenship, that the condition of affairs above re- ferred to would be speedily remedied It is possible also that those who have taken no steps at all to secure citizen- ship, though making this country thelr home and deriving their sustenance therefrom, would be moved to declare their intention, and later petition for naturalization thereon, becoming by this step responsible citizens of the State. Lessons in Citizenship. Examiner Bevington declared that many persons of foreign birth have in the past been deterred from be- coming American citizens by lack of knowledge of the English language and familiarity with the customs and institutions of this country. This con- dition is to be remedied commencing with the current school year. The Naturalization Department of the Government is to work in harmony with the Board of Education in the education of foreigners. Lessons will be given in citizenship in all the night schcols, where naturalization examiners will instruct those desir- ing to be citizens.

The British Ambassador, Sir Cecil Epring-Rice, astured the trade advisers that their informal representations ‘n cases in which the British orders have caused “undue hardship’ to American commerce would receive special consid- eration. Before June 15 the British authorities declined to enter into formal negotia- tions with the trade advisers in any cases. The Britich note dealing with the detention of the American steamer Neches, however, sent on July 31, set forth that in cases where” “hardship may be inflictec on citizens of neutral countries” the British Government would examine the facts in a “spirit of con- sideration for the interests of neutrals.” Information in the hands of the State Department that private brokers were securing permits in London for special shipments of American goods from Rot- 1erdam while the trade advisers were vnable to present special cases, was transmitted to London. Intended to Meet Complaints. The Ambassador called at the State Department personally to explain the extent of the British conceszions, which are especially intended to meet the growing complaint of American import- ers that their Christmas trade is threat- ened by failure to obtain goods made ‘n Germany and Austria, for which they had contracted. Generally speaking, it is the intention of the British Government to permit the passage through the blockade lines of goods for which the American importers have entered into contract with German and Austrian firms. . Heretofore it har been required that the money shal! actually have been paid for the goods Now it will be sufficient to show that they were regularly contracted for ani that the American importer is really the person responsible for them and that little rests with him. Goods valued at many miltions of dol- lars have accumulated at Rotterdam and await transportation to the United States. The order applies to these, but whether it will extend to goods yet in German factories but under contract for delivery on this side of the Atlantie is yet undetermined. The success of private interests in London, represented by special attor- neys, in securing the release of about $600,000 worth of such goods now on the docks is explained at the British em- bassy here as due to the fact that the local attorneys there were able to se- cure and present to the British author- ities the proof required as to the char- acter of the goods and the conditions of contract. Now it is planned to permit American importers to present proof at the British embassy here, which it is believed, will greatly facilitate importa- tions. Explanation on Dyestuffs, The entire responsibility for the hold- ing up of dyestuffs of German manufac- ture intended for America is placed by the British authorities upon the Ger- man Government and it is alleged that a contrary impression has sought to be created because of illfeeling against Great Britain, To set itself straig n this matter, the British embassy today issued the following statement: “On April 14 a formal notice was is- sued by the British Government that they would allow vessels carrying two shipments of dyestuffs which were paid for by delivery in Germany of certain cotton cargoes, to pass without inter- ference, provided the vessels sailed un- der a neutral flag; that the shipments were made from Rotterdam and the dye- stuffs consigned to the Secretary of Commerce for distribution direct:y to the textile industries. “This offer, which was refused by Ger- many, still holds good.” PASSENGERS FEARING U-BOAT WEAR IDENTIFICATION TAGS NEW YORK, Aug. .—Passengers ar- r'ving here today aboard the steamer Espange from Bordeaux wore identifi- cation tags, issued to them before sail- ing so that they might be identified in case German submarines should send their ships to the bottom. It was the first time that such tags had been worn by passengers aboard a ner reaching kere from Europe. \ The Espange sailed at 2 o’dlock on the morning of Aug. 21, shortly after the sinking’ of the Arabic had become known. Officers and passengers were epprehensive of their fate and to make identification possible in case of dis- aster, the company listed their names and gave each person a tag to be worn on the way across. The trip, however, was without special incident. Among the passengers was Dr. C, Burns Craig of the New York Neuro- logical Institute, who had been 10 months in Paris, studying the effect of constant firing on the nerves of soldiers. Dr. Craig said that the whine of rifle bul- lets was apparently not harmful to the nervous systems of the men in the trenches, but that the crashing of big guns had a very serious effect, as the j sound shattered the nerves and made scme men insane.

Du- four of the Swiss army, according to a Havas News Agency dispatch today from Berne. The aviator, whose recent escape was said to have been effected after he had withdrawn his promise not to try to get away, wae received by the Swiss staff and informed that he was consid- ered as an officer interned without hav- ing given his word of honor. Gilbert arrived this morning at the village of Hospenthal, where he was interned anew. All the Swiss papers, the dispatch states, declare that a most excellent impression has been created in Switzer- land by the return of Gilbert. Dr. Lardy, the Swiss Minister to France, called on Minister of War Miller today to present ‘“‘the thahks ‘of the Swiss Government for the courteous and chivalrous decision taken by the French Government concerning second Lieuten- ant Aviator Gilbert.’’ It has developed that Gilbert, before eacaping, had written a letter to the Swiss general staff withdrawing his word of honor that he would make no attempt to escape. The letter was re- ceived several hours before the atempt was made, but was left unopened at army headquarters, and the general staff maintains that Gilbert had not been released from his word of honor. THREATS AGAINST PRESIDENT BY KANSAS GERMAN ALLEGED Rifles and Cartridges Found in Cellar at Russell; Former German Sol- diers Said to Be Drilling There. RUSSELL, Kan., Aug. 30.—Threats of assassinating President Wilson, alleged to have been made by a prominent. Ger- man; the finding of rifles and cartridges in a cellar, and the drilling of former German soldiers by a German, recently a Corporal in the Kaliser’s army, have stirred residents of Russell. Special agents of the Department of Justice at Washington have been in- vestigating. The Germans questioned acknowledged owning the rifles and car- tridges, but asserted their loyalty to the United States. Bitter feeling between the Germans and sympathizers of the allies started when the Germans made a demonstra- tion in honor of the sinking of the Lusi- tania. WOUNDED CANADIANS RETURN 14 Officers and 22 Men Arrive in Mon- treal From Front. MONTREAL, Aug. 30.—Fourteen of- ficers and 22 wounded men of Cana- dian regiments arrived here today on the steamer Messanibie from En- gland. They were accompanied by physiciane and nurses who spoke highly of the spirit displayed by wounded Canadians. One of the ar- rivals, Corporal Stewart of the Fifth Battalion, received 27 shrapnel wounds. Mrs. Irene Gardner of Ottawa, one of the passengers, who has been in England and France collecting data regarding the killed and wounded for the Canadian Red Cross, said the French realize and appreciate the part the Canadians played in saving Calaig. that it needs cleaning up, that it is in- fested with vermin, and that the prison ers are not given sufficient food, admit- ted that many of the charges in the re- / port are true, but contended that the jail was in as good condition as an old building could be kept. Sheriff Bode said to «a that he was the father of @ mavement build a new jail, which, needed. He pointed out ent jail was too small and that he used the full amount. He was unable to give the prisoners more than two meals a day for §® cents, he snid. “The food is well cooked,’ the Sheriff said. “It is prepared under the super- vision of my wife, and there is not a better cook in St. Louis County than she is. “The prisoners always have meat and potatoes at noon, and in addition to that either corn, beans or peas. Many times this summer I have supplied them with fresh corn, torhatoes and other vegeta- bles from my own farm.”’ Sheriff Also Jaller, The report criticized the Sheriff for occupying the jailer’s residence in the jail building. The report said these quarters should be used by the jailer, ° that he might be on hand at all times to look after the prisoners’ needs. Sher- iff Bode said that in St. Louis County the Sheriff is the jailer, and that either he or one of his deputies is on hand at all times. The prisoners are required to obey rules of cleanliness, he said, and that in addition to the jail rules the prisoners have their own ‘kangaroo court” in which they punish prisoners who spit on the floor or are not clean- ly. Dr. G. C, Eggers, jail physician for 15 years, said that the jail was as cleaa and sanitary as such an old building — could be. He denied there was vermin in the jail, and said that the fact tbat there had not been an epidemic in the jail was evidence that it was kept clean. He said every prisoner was required to take a bath as soon as he entered the jail, and that all prisoners were required to bathe every Saturday. $200 FINE FOR SPEEDING WHEN CHAUFFEUR Court Finds Man Had Been Arrested 5S Times Before for Breaches of Traffic Regulations, Police Judge Hogan this morning fined Ernest Borches, 2 years old, a chauf- feur, of 3619 Cass avenue, $200 for speed- ing after he learned that Borches had made a false statement on the witness stand. Borches was arrested at Newstead and Washington avenues Saturday night and policemen said he was driving his ma- chine 2% miles an hour. Judge Hogan asked Borches if he had ever been ar- rested before for violating the traffie laws and Borches said this was his first arrest. He ala» denied that he was driv- ing at an unlawful speed, Judge Hogan turned to his police rec- ord of arrests and found that Borches’ arrest Saturday was the sixth for traf- fic law violations wince May last.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH — ‘MAN OF MYSTERY SC. W. PORTLOCK; SAYS HE HAS ALIB U. S. Fidelity and Guaranty Co. Employe Denies Charge on Which He Was Fined. ACCUSED BY LITTLE GIRLS Says He Wishes to Exonerate Those Charged With Spirit- ing Him From Court. Clyde Wise Portlock, 45 years old, a boarder at 42% Washington boulevard and formerly a boarder at 4323 Morgan etreet, known as the Sherwood Hotel, claims investigator for the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Co., in the em- ploy of former Judge John M. Wood, a4- mits in a long signed statement given out last night that he is “John Wilkin- son,”” the mysterious man fined $300 in police court Friday on a charge of an- noying two little girls in Tower Grove Park. Me gave out the statement only after his identity had been discovered by re- porters and fcllowing a _ consultation with Wood. It consists principally of a denial of the children’s charges and a denial that Republican city politicians and policemen took unprecedented meas- ures to prevent reporters from following him and learning who he was after he had beea convicted. Friends say he earned a salary of about $150 a month. At the Sherwood he was dapper and affable. It was his cus- tom on Sunday evenings to appear in a top hat, Prince Albert coat, gray trousers and spats and carrying a cane to go calling. Less than a mecnth ago he rhoved from _ the Sherwood to his new boarding house. He dined at the Morgan street address yesterday with Scott, Gardner, an in- surance man, a few hours before his identity as ‘“‘Wilkinson”’ had been made. Boarders at the Morgan street house _ gaid that Portlock was not sociable and never joined any of the other boarders in social gatherings. They said he rarely spoke to any of the others, and formed no friendships in the house except with Gardner. Some of the boarders re- ferred to him among themselves as “Porkchops,’’ a play on his name. Portlock says he is a grandson of the Gov. Wise who was Virginia’s chief ex- ecutive in the Civil War period, and that until five years ago he lived in New York, where he was: admitted to the bar. His name does rot appear in the roll of attorneys at the St. Louis bar. Feared to Disclose Identity. After his identity was discovered he end Jones H. Parker, the attorney who represented him at the police court hearing, went to the home of former sudge Wood. Wood declares Portlock convinced him of his innocence, say- ing he @id not try to produce evidence of it at the trial because of the fear that he would disclose his identity. Wood said that for the five years he had known him: Portlock had been an honorable man. Tt was upon Wood's advice that Port- fock decided to make a statement. Al- though the statement denies that Re- publican politicians made an effort to pretect the man after his conviction, tt does not go into the details of how (City Marshal Mohbrstadt came to shel- ter him in his office; how Alderman Gus Baur’s saloon partner, Joseph Mount, bondsman, came to assist fag for him with its motor running. upon which Portlock, as was cormvicted was that conduct, inade by Grace he i# dependent for a livelihood, staris with a denial that he has any political affiliations other than that he usually votes the Democratie ticket, and de- vas the Ford machine shop. Joseph Mount and several whoog tdentl- ty I do not know.” He deciares that he was ‘flank ; these men as he made a wee automobile, and that he ‘‘knew nothing of the detention of reporters” until he read it afterwards in the newspapers “This circumstance I can in no Way ex- plain,” runs the statement, ‘but can truthfully say thet it was not premedi- tated or carried out either with my knowledge or the knowledge of my at- torney or any of my friends, so far as ! know.” How He War Protected. This is somewhat at variance with a statement of City Marshal Mohrstadt, who admitted that he was making a de- termined effort to protect the man from publicity. The facts were that the pris- oner left the courtroom and went into Judge Hogan's private office: that he was escorted from there to the Mar- shal’s office, where locked doors and guarded windows for more than two hours marked unusual precautions to shield the prisoner; that an auto was driven up and the motor left running; that Portlock was escorted hastily to it by a crowd of*men, among whom was Joseph Mount, partner in a saloon with Alderman Gus Baur; that reporters who tried to overhaul his car were arrested by a trick and detained until the fugi- » tive got away, and that all the clroum- stances of this extraordinary affair were considered so unusual that the Police Boaré will tnvestigate them.

He decided to make a statement only when he learned his identity had been discovered.

They represented an aggre- gate of $2788 in fines and $1000 in costs which had been lest to the city and were covered by more than $000 in bonds. : Some Date Back to 1902, | Some of them are as old as 1902 and some as recent as 1913. Ir®none of them is any record of a mandate or notice by the Supreme Court. So far as the records show, they are incomplete and there is no way to determine how they were ended, other than that they appear to have died of inanition. The list of bondsmen includes the names of the late Col. Edward Butler, Chris Schawacker, Frank B. McDonald, Joseph T. Weiseman, Henry Nolte, Charles (Cap) Troll, Frank Donedo, Wil- liam L. Bohnenkamp, Louis Nieman, Frank F. Rechenmacher, Joseph Hahn, C. D. Johnson, Jacob Kumz, Max Glass- man, Morton Jourdan, Joseph L. Shuler, Charles Meichel and Sam Arky. Schawacker, a professional bondsman, who has signed as surety in many cases, told a Post-Dispatch reporter he could remember none of the cases in which his name appears. Weiseman had a hazy recollection of one or two cases, but could not recall any of the details. Nie- man didn’t remember the details of two cases, but said he could bring the de- fendants into court at any time desired. All for Misdemeanors. All of these cases were for misde- meanors. They were first tried in police court and theninthe Court of Criminal ‘Correction. Loffhagen said that when he had completed his list he would turn it over to City Counselor Dates, who could take whatever action to collect the fines he sees fit. Wien this work is finished, Loffhagen expects to take up cases that originated in the Court of Criminal Correction and have been tak- en to the Court of Appeals. The investigation was started when City Counselor Daues several days ago overheard a conversation between two men, one of whom he knew to be a pro- fessional bondsman.

Six special pontoons, each having a lifting capacity of 6 tons, were constructed at the Mare Island navy yard for the purpose, when all other methods of lifting the F-4 failed. The actual raising operations occupied two hours, the plans of the engineers working without a hitch. The still-sub- ‘merged derelict was towed slowly into the harbor, where all the ships, includ- ing the interned German gunboat Geiler, half-masted their flags. The F-4, commanded by Lieut. Alfred L. Ede, went to the bottom in the course of maneuvers by the F squadron. She was found two days later, and John Agraz, one of the navy divers, descend- ed 215 feet, establishing a world’s rec- ord, in an effort to facilitate the work of bringing the boat to the surface. Her crew, it was said, might have been alive at that time, but attempts at rescue failed, and on March 30 Rear Ad- miral C. R. T. Moore, commanding the Honolulu naval station, reported that the ,I’-4 lay in 270 feet of water and would have to be raised by pontoons. If pon- toons had been availabje at the sub- marine station at that time the 22 men aboard the F-4 might have been saved. Secretary Daniels announced that the would be raised at any cost, in order to determine the cause of the ac- cident, and diving apparatus and divers were sent out. One of the divers, Frank Crilly, went down,228 feet and found one of the com- partments of the F%4 filled With water.

Barnhardt Lately Was a Bank Director and Poli- tician in Arkansas. John W. Barnhardt, 64 years old, late- iv a bank director and politician in For- rest City, Ark., who is held by the St. Touis police on the charge of negotiat- ing a forged deed of trust for $25,000 in “Vaukesha, Wis.; and who is said by private detective® to have a long record such transactions, said today that he would go to Waukesha without a requisition. He admitted to a Post-Dispatch re- rorter that he had served a two-years’ term for a similar offense in the Mis- souri penitentiary and that he had for years past evaded arrest through the use cf assumed names. He called the re- porter’s attention to a morning news- paper’s error in saying that he was ac- cused of a $5000 swindle in Waukesha and said the amount was $25,000. He escaped from jail in Waukesha two weeks ago with two other prisoners. - Had $60,000 Home. According to the local branch of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Barnhardt had a home in Forrest City which is valued at $60,000, and was a director in the Planters’ Bank and Trust Co. there. He talked at one time of run- ning for the State Senate. A dispatch from Forrest City verifies these state- ments as to his business connections, but says he left last December and that in February his wife sold his prop- erty and departed. Barnhardt was traced to St. Louis through his wife, who appeared Satur- day at the Marlowe Hotel, Washington boulevard and Vandeventer avenue, and whom he came here from Wisconsin to visit. They were married 16 years ago und the wife says most of her relatives live in St. Louis. The detectives learned, while Barn- hardt was in jail in Waukesha, under the name of George Adler, that he had lived in Forrest City, and this enabled them both to learn that he was the man known in Arkansas as Barnhardt and to link up a series of alleged of- fenses,-like the one alleged in Wauke. sha, as the alleged means by which he has acquired his money. Methods Are Described. According to the detectives, . Barn- hardt’s method was to go to different parts of the United States, pose as a prospective purchaser of farms located near towns or cities,, obtain deeds of trust to the farms, on the pretext of investigating their validity, and then forge copies of the deeds, and on these obtain loans from banks or capitalists. He used a different name in.each case, the detectives say, and succeeded for years in evading capture. His arrest at Waukesha was brought about by the alertness of a bank cashier, who had personal knowledge of property covered by a purported deed which Barnhardt is alleged to have offered him. Dispatches to the Post-Dispatch to- day from Omaha, Danville, ll; Quincy, Ill.: Toledo, and Kalamazoo, Mich stated that a man believed to be RBarr- - OL |“George Adler” Capt. hardt was charged, in or near each of those places, with a forged deed swin- die. The Omaha*dispatch said wealthy men in Fremont, Neb., and Council Bluffs, Io., were swindled by a mar known as John W. Kline. This man, the Pinkertons say, is Barnhardt, and he is now booked at police headquarters under the name of Kline. In Danville, the dispatch stated, obtained $3500 from Edwin Winter, by the borrowed deed plan. “Alder” was the name used in Waukesha. In Kalamazoo ‘Philip Galvick”’ obtained $300 by a similar method, and the police there say ‘‘Gal- vick” and ‘‘Kline’’ are the same. Under Indictment in Ohio. The Toledo di:patch said that “Kline” cperated in Ohio towns, and was under indictment in that State for forgery. In Quincy a maa known as John L, But- ler, said to resemble Barnhardt, was eccused of swindling A. J. Brockschmidt, a lawyer, in 1907, obtaining $3500 by means of a fraudulent deed. In Kansas City, in 1888, according to enother dispatch, “Kline” was charged with forgery of a deed to a hotel, and with grand larceny, in obtaining $7760 fraidulently from a bank. He pleaded guilty to grand larceny and served two years at Jefferson City, the only penal term: that he is known to have served unyw here. Barnhardt, when arrested on Olive street, near-his wife’s hotel, had $660 in his pocket. He asked that the money be given to his wife, but she was permitted to take only $50. An officer is expected to arrive here tonight or tomorrow from Waukesha to take him back there.

In the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly, President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard outlines the purposes of the League to Enforce Peace, which he. with former President Taft and others, have organized at Philadelphia in Indepen- dence Hall, on June 17. President Lowell was the originator of the proposal adopted by the Phila- delphia conference, that the joint armed forces of a league of nations be used against any nation in the league vio- lating the peace pact. In the article, he emphasizes the fact that such armed intervention is to be used only to compe! nations to arbitrate their quarrels, and not to enforce the decrees of the arb!- trators. He also points out that the league’s plans have no reference to the present European war, but relate to the future only. Some of the more striking paragraphs of the article are: “In spite of its ominous sound, the suggestion of a league of nations to en- force peacé has no connection with any effort to stop the present war. It is aimed solely at preventing future con- flicts, after the terrific struggle now raging has come to an end; and yet this is not a bad time for people in private life to bring forward proposals of such 2 nature. Reduce Probability of War, “No sensible man expects to abolish wars altogether, but we ought to seek to reduce the probability of war as much as possible. It is on these grounds that the suggestion has been put forth of a league of nations to enforce peace. “Without attempting to cover details of operation (wh'cth are, indeed, of vital importance and will require careful study by experts in international law and diplomacy), the proposal contains four points stated as general objects. The first is that before resorting to arms the members of the league shall submit disputes with one another, if justifiable, to an international tribunal; second, that in like manner they shail submit nonjusticiable questions—that is, such as cannot be decided on the basia of strict international law—to an inter- national council of conciliation, which shall recommend a fair and amicable solution; third, that if any member of the league wages war against another before submitting the question in dis- pute to the tribunal or council, all the other members shall jointly use forth- with both their economic and military forces against the state that so break: the peace; and, fourth, that the signa- tory Powers shall endeavor to codifv and improve the rules of international law. Kernel of Proposal. “The kernel of the proposal, the fea- ture in which it differs from other plans lies in the third point, obliging all the members of the league to declare war on any member violating the pact of peace. This is the provision that pro- vokes both adherence and opposition; and it certainly gives one a shock that a people should be asked to pledge it- self to go to war over a quarrel which is not of its making, in which it has no interest, and in which it may believe that substantial justice lies on the other side. If, indeed, the nations of the earth could maintain complete isolation, could pursue each its own destiny with- out regard to the rest; if they were not effected by a war between two others or liable to be drawn into it; if, in short, there were no overwhelming common interest in securing universal peace, the provision would be intolerable. It would be as bad as the liability of an indi- vidual to take part In the posse comi- tatus of a community with which he had nothing in common. “But in every civilized country the public force is employed to prevent any man, however just his claim, from vin- dicating his own right with his own hand instead of going to law, and ev- ery citizen is bound when needed to as- sist in preventing him, because that is the only way to restrain private war. and the maintenance of order is of paramount importance for every one. Surely the family of nations has a lik> interest in restraining war between states. Not Bound to Enforce Decisions. ‘It will be observed that the members of the league are not to bind themselves to enforce the decision of the tribuna!) er the award of the council of econcili- ation. That may come in the remote future, but it is no part of this pro- posal. It would be imposing obligations far greater than the nations can rea- sonably be expected to assume at the present day; for the conceptions of in- ternational morality and fair play ere still so vague and divergent that a na- tion can hardly bind itself to wage. war on another, with which it has no quar- rel, to enforce @ decision or a recom- mendation of whose justice or wisdom it may not be itself heartily con- vinced. “The proposal goes no farther than obliging all the mé@émbers to prevent, by a threat of immediate war, any breach of the public peace before the matter in dispute has been submitted to arbitra- tion; and this is neither unreasonable nor impracticabl¢. There are many questions, especially of a nonjusticiable nature, on which we should not be wil- ling to bind ourselves to accept the de- the desire by a European Power to take possession of Colombia.

In the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly, President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard outlines the purposes of the League to Enforce Peace, which he. with former President Taft and others, have organized at Philadelphia in Indepen- dence Hall, on June 17. President Lowell was the originator of the proposal adopted by the Phila- delphia conference, that the joint armed forces of a league of nations be used against any nation in the league vio- lating the peace pact. In the article, he emphasizes the fact that such armed nations to arbitrate their quarrels, and not to enforce the decrees of the arb!- trators. He also points out that the league's plans have no reference to the present European war, but relate to the future only. Some of the more striking paragraphs of the article are: “In spite of its ominous sound, the suggestion of a league of nations to en- force peacé has no connection with any effort to stop the present war. It is aimed solely at preventing future con- flicts, after the terrific struggle now raging has come to an end; and yet this is not a bad time for people in private life to bring forward proposals of such a nature. Reduce Probability of War, “No sensible man expects to abolish wars altogether, but we ought toseelj to reduce the probability of war as much as possible. It is on these grounds that the suggestion has been put forth of a league of nations to enforce peace. “Without attempting to cover détails of operation (wh'cth are, indeed, of vita! importance and will require careful study by experts in international law and diplomacy), the proposal contains four points stated as general objects. The first is that before resorting to arms the members of the league shall submit disputes with one another, if justifiable, to an international tribunal; second, that in like manner they shail submit nonjusticiable questions—that is, such as cannot be decided on the basia of strict international law—to an inter- national council of concillation, which shall recommend a fair and amicable solution; third, that if any member of the league wages war against another before submitting the question in dis- pute to the tribunal or council, all the other members shall jointly use forth- with both their economic and military forces against the state that so break: the peace; and, fourth, that the signa- tory Powers shall endeavor to codify and improve the rules of international law. Kernel of Proposal. “The kernel of the proposal, the fea- ture in which it differs from other plans lies in the third point, obliging all the members of the league to declare war on any member violating the pact of peace. This is the provision that pro- vokes both adherence and opposition; and jit certainly gives one a shock that a people should be asked to pledge it- self to go to war over a quarrel which is not of its making, in which it has no interest, and in which it may believe that substantial justice lies on the other side. If, indeed, the nations of the earth could maintain complete isolation, could pursue each its own destiny with- out regard to the rest; if they were not effected by a war between two others or liable to be drawn into it; if, in short, there were no overwhelming common interest in securing universal peace, the provision would be intolerable. It would be as bad as the liability of an indi- vidual to take part tn the posse coml- tatus of a community with which he had nothing in common. “But in every civilized country the public force is employed to prevent any man, however just his claim, from vin- dicating his own right with his own hand instead of going to law, and ev- ery citizen is bound when needed to as- sist in preventing him, because that is the only way to restrain private war. and the maintenance of order is of paramount importance for every one. Surely the family of nations has a lik» interest in restraining war between states. Not Bound to Enmforce Decisions. ‘It will be observed that the members of the league are not to bind themselves to enforce the decision of the tribunal cr the award of the council of concili- ation. That may come in the remote future, but it is no part of this pro- posal: It would be imposing obligations far greater than the nations can rea- sonably be expected to assume at the present day; for the conceptions of in- ternational morality and fair play are still so vague and divergent that a na- tion can hardly bind itself to wage war on another, with which it has no quar- rel, to enforce @ decision or a recom- mendation of whose justice or wisdom it may not be itself heartily con- vinced. “The proposal goes no farther than obliging all the mé@mbers to prevent, by a threat of immediate war, any breach of the public pence before the matter in dispute has been submitted to arbitra- tion; and this is neither unreasonable nor impracticablgé. There are many questions, especially of a nonjusticiable nature, on which we should not be wil- ling to bind ourselves to accept the de- intervention is to be used only to compel. ») Nice market TH CKLES cz: Good ris: Bp Sours: size size, PER POTATOES ==15c [aful MINS: fi 100 CELERY: —Se> ene Soe tale GAT SUP i: Oc/GORN FLAKES sss" Sweet Pickles; mary ben) ray aT OL ALIVE PAR ay ae" Be Jellie Cc.

ST; MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1915. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ss o Triangle! Four weeks ago I printed advertisement headed WARNING. | In it I told of some of the plans of the Triangle Film Corporation, and intimated that I expected large profits. But I was so afraid that there might be exag- gerations and over-statements by persons without authority to speak that I made very plain the fact that anything that promised so very much in profit necessarily entailed some risk of loss. I said we had got together the greatest organ- ization of moving picture producers the world had ever known. Great actors and actresses, great ex- ecutives and Griffith, producer of ‘The Birth of a Nation”’. Ince, famous for the ‘Battle of Gettysburg’. Sennett, master Laughmaker of the World, creator of Keystone comedys. ' But.my belief that the theater managers of this country would be willing to pay big weekly rent- als for fine pictures was only beHef. Now it is FACT. THE BEST ’*THEATERS have written, tele- graphed, telephoned offers of weekly rentals equaling my estimates. The ablest executives in the film business have joined us. For “Nothing succeeds like success.” Actors and actresses who have hitherto found the pictures below their dignity, have come to us eagerly. Those who appear inthe first Triangle plays will give you a pretty good idea of the caliber of the rest. os eee en Ob Raymond Hitchcock Douglas Fairbanks Dustin Farnum ‘All in one evening’s entertainment—think of it! And then there will be Billie Burke, DeWolf Hop- per, Joe Weber, Lew Fields and a host of others. Four weeks ago ‘‘Triangle Film’’ was unknown to the New York Stock Market. It came out at par—$5.00 per share. As I write, itis selling there for $6.50 or more a share. | _ Ido not control the price. ss Many big men are buying Triangle Film. I appre- ciate their interest and their support. But the man I want is the ten-share man and the man who owns fifty shares. For he is the man who most gppreciates his monthly dividend check. _ Itis he who goes regularly to the theater that shows Triangle plays, and tells his friends to go. I want you who read this advertisement to own stock enough to laugh the heartier at a Keystone com- edy, because you are part owner of it. Just ask a good stock broker or your banker to get some shares for you while the market is low. I am president of Triangle Film Oorporation. .I be- lieve it will earn large profits. I believe that the com- pany’s interest will best be served by having the largest possible number of stockholders. Hence this advertise- ment. It tells the truth as I see it, avoiding over- statement and avoiding equally understatement, for understatements may be as misleading and unfair as overstatements. As to October 18, 1915 Very soon after October 18th, Triangle plays will appear in the best theaters of St. Louis. The best players in all the world, working under the supervision of the world’s greatest directors, must pro- duce the best pictures. . And the best people will see them in the one best theater in each locality. — President, Triangle Film Corporation, | Zi West 23d St.. New York, BOTHER BURNE BY MOB IN TEXAS Men Had Killed Deputy and Wounded Sheriff at Sulphur Springs, Tex. SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex., Aug. 30.— King Richmond, a negro, who had been badly wounded ina fight with a posse, was burned at the stake by a mob at Buford Park late yesterday. The body of his brother, Joe, who had been killed in the fight, was burned beside him. Earlier in the day the two negroes, re- sisting arrest for a minor offense, had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan A. Flippen and seriously wounded Sher- iff J. B. Butler. Several hundred armed men, organized into a score of posses, were soon search- ing wood and hill for the two men. They were found in a thicket. The fight fol- lowed. None of the posse was injured. A large crowd awaited the posse on its arrival here and demands were made that the negroes be burned in the pub- lic square. Influential men urged that the law be allowed to take its course. By a compromise the negro and his dead brother were taken to Buford Park on The mob, in which there were 5000 per- sons, then dispersed quietly. Intelligent Printing Service At Hughes. Central 2491.

This is intended to in- sure peace among the members them- selves. If it grew strong enough, by in- cluding all the great Powers, it might well insist on universal peace by com- pelling the outsiders to come in. But that is not its primary object, which is simply to prevent its members from go- ing to war with one another. “How about our own position in the United States? The prvposal is a rad- ical and subversive dsperture from the traditional policy of cur country. Would it be wise for us to be parties t such an agreement? At the thres- hold of such a discussion one thing is clear. If we are not willing to urge our own Government tu join a move- ment for peace, we have no business to disciss any plan for the ptrpose. It is worse than futile, it is an impertinence, for Americans to advise the people of Europe how they ought to conduct their affairs if we have noth‘iic¢g in common with them; to suggest 17 them conven- tions with burdens which are well enough for them, but which we are not willing to share. If our peace organiza- tions are not prepared tuo have us take part in the plans they cevise, they had better disband, or confine their discus- sions to Ran-American puestions.”’ Don’t trust to luck when you have a fire; most people guess wrong.

HURD. EFORE the second act of ‘The KS Birth of a Nation,’- $2 photoplay,. was put on the Olympic Theater's Screen last night, announcement was made to the well-filled house that the act related to events of a half-century ago. and that the film was not intended to show “any race as it exists today.’’ The same statement appeared, a minute later, on the screen. Then began a drama in which negroes invaded and set fire to the homes of white families, besieged white women in from the polls, and dominating a Leg- islature, passed what was termed “a law for intermarriage of negroes ‘and whites.’’ A Southern girl of gentle breeding was pursued by a negro in sol- dier’s uniform, and leaped to death to escape him. Before the horror of this incident had passed, a negro politician was shown, attempting to force a Northern white girl into immediate mar- riage with him. Drama Ia Stirring. The scenes of this drama—and it was drama of the most stirring sort—were enacted before the motion camera with- in the last two years, by negroes of the present time—the negroes whom one can see in any city or town in the central, as well as the Southern, states. But as the management gives assur- ance that these pictures were not rep- resentations of ‘‘any race as it exists to- day,”’ doubtless everyone will view them in the calm light of history, and we need not fear a‘rectirrence of the racial excitement, which, a few years ago, followed the presentation of the stage version of ‘“The Clansman,’’ and which culminated in wholesale lynchings in Springfield, “Mo., and in Springfield and Cairo, ll. Act 2 of “The Birth of a Nation” is taken ‘from ‘‘The Clans- man.”’ The Ku-Klux Klan appeared on the scene as the corrector of black misrule, and its sheeted members performed chivalrous deeds of rescue, such as men anywhere might be proud to perform in daylight, and without disguise. By way of giving historical authority for this portrayal of the Ku-Klux, the manage- huts and in cellars, drove white men f. tion” imiffensely. If I were in the place of the Judge who has to pass on the continuance of this show, I- would feel bound to consider the applause which greeted every scene in tHe second act, 45 well as in the first. But I would ask myself what my decision would be if it were religious prejudice, instead of race prejudice, to which the film appealed; and whether race prejudice is a safer ig to play with than religious preju- ice. _—.. ee em No Deposit Required From residence customers for Union Electric Light & Power Co.

Dailey, 2 years old, a mov- ing picture operator, was arrested last night at the Linmar Hotel, Vandeventer and Washington avenues, on a charge of bigamy. The charge was preferred by Mrs. Teresa Dailey, living at the Model Hotel, 1505 Market street, who as- Serted that she and Dailey were mar- ried Jan. 9, 1914, by Justice of the Peace Krueger. The police found Dailey living with a ‘Mrs. Mae Dailey, who was formerly Miss Tebeau. She showed a marriage certificate showing that she and Dailey were married Aug. 24, 1915, in St. according to the police, Dailey this morning admitted that he had married both women, but refused to give any ex- planation. EASY WAY TO MAKE HAIR ATTRACTIVE Ladies who find trouble in*properly or attractively arranging and dress- ing their hair should try using a lit- tle Parisian Sage twice daily for a while and note the remarkable im- provement. Parisian Sage, which can be obtained from Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. or any drug counter, makes the hair soft, lustrous, fluffy and wavy, takes out the dull, lifeless appearance, dissolves the dandruff and stimulates the hair roots into healthy normal action. Instead of merely sprinkling the hair, it should be rubbed right into the scalp with the finger tips. Parisian Sage is a delightful treatment for both hair and scalp, cannot possibly injure the hair and is very inexpensive. PARISIAN Charles, Mo., by Justice of the Peace FOR HAIR AND sCALP Frey.

What Wilson Said. One of these sentences told of the de- termination of certain northern leaders “to put the white South under the heel of the black South.’’ In Wilson’s His- pry of the American People, from which this quotation was taken, there ‘s also this ‘description of the work of the Ku-Klux. ‘Brutal crimes were committed: the innocent suffered with the guilty: a reign of terror was brought on, and so- ciety was infinitely more disturbed than defended.”’ Describing the final phase of the Ku- Klux, in the same chapter, Woodrow Wilson tells of the suppression, by Fed- eral authority, of “‘the secret orders or the reckless fellows who plied their means of intimidation without scruple, or principle, or public object.” This is the view of a historian who cannot be accused of bias against the South, and who shows a _ discerning sympathy for the Southern people in the hardships and abuses which un- questionably attached to “carpet-bag”’ rule. It is worth reading, after*one has seen, and has applauded, the scenes shown last night. “The Birth of” the Mob, The glorification of the Ku-Klux is the climax of “The Birth of a Nation.’ Viewed from the standpoint of history, the Ku-Klux episode might better be termed the birth of the mob, and of the mob spirit. The State of Georgia has lately given an example of the persis- ence of this spirit, and has learned its value as an asset to a State. So much for the second act, which con- tains the scenes at issue in Prosecuting Attorney Sidener’s attempt to prevent, by legal means, the repetition of this play in St. Louis. Judge Kimmel, who issued the injunction permitting last night’s performance, and who set this afternoon as a time for passing on the continuance of the show for its proposed five weeks’ run, was a spectator, as was Chief of Police Young. The first act of ‘“‘The Birth of a Na- tion’’ contains nothing which is likely to cause objection. It shows the Civil War, from the point of view of the South, closing with the assassination of Lincoln “the South’s best friend.” ‘The battle scene in this act is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of photo-drama. A battle takes place before the spectators, alternately at long range, when a whole battlefield is seen, and in the “close-up,” where thrilling charees on intrenched positions are shown. Sherman's march, and the flight of refugees; are presented in the same fashion, with remarkable scenic power. Noted Figures Shown. The first act is linked to the second by the conventional two pairs of lovers, common to all Civil War romance, and by the figure of Hon. Austin Stoneman. leader of the Radicals in Congress, and advocate of political and social equality for the negro. This is another name for Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvanta. Charles Sumner is shown under hts own name, and the figures of Lee and Grant appear in the surrender at Appomatox Lincoln, not very satisfyingly portrayed, was in several scenes. é The film actors whose work was most effective were Henry Walthall as Col. Cameron of the Confederate army, later of the Ku-Klux; Spottiswoode Aiken as Dr. Cameron, a Southern gentleman, and George Seigmann as Silas Lynch, mulat- to Lieutenant-Governor.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1915. ST. LOUIS\.POST-DISPATCH hundred men, many of them farmers called from their harvesting, were fight- ing three big forest fires today in the Cascade Mountains near Mount Hood. Thousands of acres of woodland have been burned and many fields of grain have been destroyed. Page boulevard station told that burg- tars were in the garage behind the Mc- Leod home, Sergeant St. John and a ratrciIman hurried there in an auto. The Sergeant was running across the terrace in front of Charles R. Meston’s residence, 5 Kingsbury place, and fell into a driveway, six feet below. He landed head first on the granitoid and was cut over the right eye and on the nose. Five stitchés were taken over the eye. While St. John was being taken to the dispensary patrolmen searched the ga- rage without finding trace of burgiars. pany requested the police to see that he did not make further use of the key which he still had in his possession.

MURPHYSBORO, Ill., Aug. 30—Joe Deberry, a negro, pleaded guilty here today to the charge of killing Mrs. James H. Martin, wife of an attorney, in whose home he was a servant. He was brought here from Harrisburg, where he has been in jail since the mur- der, and a grand jury, which convened shortly before noon, indicted him on a charge of murder. he Court refused t:. accept the plea of guilty until the pris- oner had the advice of counsel. The Court appointed two lawyers to defend him and then adjourned the case until afternoon. A great crowd was on the streets to- day. Deberry was slipped out of the Harrisburg jail last night and under the protection of three companies of State militia was brought here at 1 a. m. today. When the crowd waa in front of the Harrisburg jail the doors were thrown open suddenly and an automobile filled with deputy sheriffs dashed out. The crowd rushed for this machine, bellev- ing that Deberry was in it. Almost at the same moment the negro prisonet was taken out of the jail from the rear and between two companies of soldiers was hurried to the train. About 100 men were at the station here when the special train bearing Deberry and his armed guard arrived, tut no violence was attempted. After the prisoner was locked in jail a shoe buttoner and a spoon found in his pos- session were taken from him as it was feared he had contemplated using them in ending his life. Deberry prayed constantly on the trai: and in his cell here. Martin died from the shock following Mrs. Martin’s death. Mrs. Martin was found hacked almost beyond recognition in her home here about a month ago. ! | season being a gay one.

Between Commission Reports Campaign to These Children Are Helping in Save the Babies Erectors and Union. CONFERENCES to Control Work as Much as for Hours and Wages. CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—The United States Commission on Industrial Relations to- day made public the last of the reports to be printed at this time. It is a Feport by Luke Grant on the contro- versy between the National Erectors’ Assoctation and the International As- sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. The report relates at length the his- tory of the conflict between these groups of employers and unionists. It goes into the history of the campaign of dynamiting conducted by officials of the union. The Los Angeles Times explo- says Grant, did nternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, except that the explosion was perpetrated by one of the agents who had been made use of by officials: of this union in causing other explosions. Grant’s conclusions regarding the va- rious incidents of the conflict are stated as follows: “Tn a study of conditions obtaining in the structural iron industry and the re- lations between the ironworkers and their employers, the most striking fact is, that the application of physftal force will neither establish nor maintain just and fair relations between employers and employes. | Abuse of Power. The abuse of power is not always on _ the side of the employer. Where unions are in complete control, abuses are as apt to develop as where the employers ise absolute power. ? @ase is the*condition conducive to indus- trial peace.

CLAIRE whether done by it directly or by sub- contract and to pay the recognized rate of wages. But the Philadelphia convention of the union added a new demand, which, in substance, was that the ~ American Bridge Co. should compel the Nation! Tube Co. to employ union iron work- ers on the erection of a tube mill at McKeesport. The strike was against the American Bridge Co., and it was not erecting the tube mill. The union could have accepted the settlement that was offered and won its original demands. Doors Were Barred. Later, when the union realized the mistake that had been made, and was ready to compromise, it was the Amer: ican Bridge Co, that assumed the un- compromising attitude. Its officers re- fused to hold further conference with the union representatives. Without a conference, a settlement of the strike The union had erred and there was no pardon for it. The company had opened its doors once and invited the union to step in, provided it did not go too far. When it refused the doors were forever barred. It was then that the union, to use a metaphor, tried to. blow the doors open with dyna- =—“"hey are still closed and barred Another policy of the ironworkers’ union which furnishes one of the chief reasons for the employers desiring to maintain open shop conditions, is its claims of jurisdiction of work. The em- ployers have alWays desired to employ unskilled laborers at lower pay to per- form certain classes of work claimed by the union for its members at the union rate of wages. Employment of unskilled labor at low wages to do work claimed by skilled labor at higher wages decreases the cost of production. From an economic stand- point that should be encouraged. But here it is difficult to reconcile economic theory with actual practice. Behind the desire of the skilled workman in the building trades to control all the work he can, even when such work might be satisfactorily performed by unskilled labor, lies the question of unemploy- ment. UNIVERSITY COURSE FOR POLICE Berkeley Force to Be Sent to Univer- sity of California. BERKELEY, Cal., Aug. 30.—Policemen of Berkeley are to be required to at- tend the University of California, it was announced today. This is believed to be the first time any city in the world has undertaken to have a ‘‘college-bred po- lice department.”’ . Tie course of study is on the rela- tion of mental disease to criminology. The theory is that the knowledge will enable policemen to better ‘‘size up’’ and deal with critninals. PURE MILK FUND Demands of Babies $036.10 LESS THAN | IT WASLAST YEAR Greater Than Ever Despite Cool Weath- sure for free ice is lessened by reason of the ice furnisheu by the Polar Wave Co. without delivery, but there are between ‘00 and 300 homes of poor in which in- fants are suffering, to which ice is de- livered under orders from the King’s Daughters bccause of the absence of means to go for it, and for which the mat.ufacturers are being paid full price. In all these instances the necessity is real and urgent. The number of de- mands for pure milk are reported to be in excess of former years, notwithstand- ing the cool weather. It is dangerous to the well-being of the babies to depend upon theories as to the nature of the remainder of* the summer and the early fall. It is much safer to place reliance upon the law of which tickets in considerable numbers have been sold in advance by the five children who originated the benefit idea and have been earnestly and effectively developing it for weeks. Two grown people are to assist the little ones in this branch of the benev- olent enterprise, and the f.ogram is unusually attractive. In the booths are to be sold a large collection of ar- ticles, varied and “interesting in vhar- acter, donated by business men and oth- ers in the neighborhood.

Under that law there is likely to be a season of hot weather before the cold of winter arrives for a prolonged stay, and this suggests preparedness for sav- ing the infants until nature takes charge of them by removing the hard condi- tions attending the heated term. The present size of the relief fund will fall far short of that necessity. Last yoar’s total was none too large for the beneficient work. To equal that aggregate will require but little more than $200 for eech of the weeks remain- ing of the ordinary campaign period, and it is urged upon the youthful army and its supporters that extra effort be mace to accomplish this great end. An affair of splendid promise is to be given this evening for the benefit of the babies at 5923 North Market street, to which the residents of that part of the city have been lending encouragement in the shape of active co-operation for sev- eral days. It is to be a carnival on as large a scale as any this season, having six booths and a large tarpaulin spread for the show feature that has been ar- ranged on an_ élaborate scale and for CONTRIBUTIONS. Previously acknowledged ...$3197 98 The total contributions to the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund on Aug. 30, 1914, was $4034.08. Today it is $3197.98. The difference in favor of last year is $836.10. The total when the campaign for saving the babies came to an end in 1914 was $4486.57. To measure up with that sum this year there is yet to be forthcoming $1288.59. The clese of the season of effort by the army of children and reserve corps constituting the league probably will take place about Oct. 15 if precedents prevail. More than six weeks remain for the work. The fall-like temperature today, and the abnormal weather that has marked t".o summer throughout is calculated to create a state of mind in the public from which the babies of the congested dis- tricts of the city will be placed in a con- dition of unrealized peril. Many are of opinion that the need for pure milk has been greatly diminished by the frequent cool spells and that the relief fund is ample to take care of them.

SR: Every day we read of the killing or maiming of pedestrians by automobiles, and the constant ex- cuse is made that the victim ran before the ma- chine and the accident was unavoidable. This is now considered a sufficient excuse, in the major- ity of cases, and the drivers rely on this judg- ment. How long will the people remain satisfied with these judgments? No one ever seems to consider that the victim was lawfully on the pub- lic highway and necessarily was at the particular spot a moment before the machine arrived there to throw him off, else he would have struck the machine in,the middle or afterpart. The ques- tion to be decided should always be fn regard to which party ran into or over the other. The drivers of machines then would be more willing to hold a speed that would cause the least dam- age. The speedometer can only be read by the man in the machine at the time, but the damage can always be judged by the public at a subse- quent time. No speed regulation will avail to end the maimings and killings. The certainty. of full responsibility will bring about a “safety first” attitude. The safest instrument of revenge and contempt now is the automobile. The other morning I crossed Sixteenth and Lo- cust streets, after first looking both ways. A machine, that was a block away when I started across, whizzed behind me at 25 miles an hour just as I stepped onto the curb. Suppase a rheu- matic kink had struck me just a moment before— what would have happened? With all of my care I have had several narrow escapes. I blame not only the thoughtless automobile drivers, but the whole public for the up-to-date recklessness. Full and absolute responsibility will eventually bring every machine under full control at every crossing and in all crowded thoroughfares. P. M. BRUNER.

If given the honored privilege of naming Mis- sourt’s greatest man I would name Dean Walter Williams of the State University, a great historian and journalist. MISSOURIA BORN. Stockwell’s Suggestion Carried Out. Tw the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The article herewith, from my pen, was pub- lished in your valuable paper, May 27, 191. It was the starter or first step toward changing the location of Grant's statue which change is now made. At that time (in 1911) I was employed in the auditor's office in the city hall; from the windows thereof, I was daily remihded of what @ forlorn place that “back yard” was for a statue _ especially for the great hero of the Civil War. The only ones viewing it were the prisoners from the Four Courts on their daily march to the Municipal Court, with the exception of those in the street cars passing by. It always seemed the most inconceivable thing and hard to under- etand why it was ever put there. Your paper did great service when it published the article quoted. It seems the proper thing to again print it. JNO. 8. STOCKWELL The Nastiest Thing. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. _ The nastiest thing in a city is the garbage can. A thick newspaper laid in the bottom of the can makes it a little less nasty and protects the metal, to some extent, from rust. In an article by En- gineer Hansen in the monthly bulletin of the Illinois Board of Health it is said: “It would be desirable to require the householder to system- atically wash and sterilize containers and to care- fully wrap the garbage in newspapers before it is deposited in the garbage can.” But if in St. Louis a housekeeper were to adopt the cleanly wrapping system the garbage hauler would re- fuse to remove it. So there is no hope for clean- liness in St. Louis. R. C. | St. Lonis Artists Who Won Medals. To the Hditer of the Post-Dispatch.

Louts artists receiving medals were as shard ©, Miller, Gold Meda! of Honor; TEACHING THRIFT IN THE SCHOOLS. | The public school savings bank, adapted from a Buropean idea and first introduced at Long Island City by John H. Thiry, used to be looked on by many as merely one of numerous doubtful educational fads. Its growth, however, has been so rapid that the Comptroller of Currency, head of the national banking system, felt justified in order- ing a special inquiry into its workings and mag- nitude. From his report it appears that Penn- sylvania with $304,963 on deposit leads all the states in the number of children depositors, 108, $32, and California with 24,238 depositors, in the total amount on deposit, $316,302. New York has 28,344 depositors with $139,546 to their credit. The Missouri showing would be relatively small but for Kansas City, which has banks in 84 schools with 6087 depositors and $52,229 on deposit. Five other Missouri cities have banks, Adrian, Colécamp, Hayti, Shelbina and Williams- burg, and the total depositors are 5507, the amount on deposit $54,621, and the total number of banks 91. In the entire country the number of school banks is 1925, the number of depositors 398,540 and the total on deposit $1,792,640. The purpose of the school banks is to combat a national weak- ness by encouraging thrift. The figures indicate attainment of the purpose on a wide-spread scale. That a person who is taught the desirability of a bank account and is familiarized with bank- ing methods early in life will retain an ambition to have a savings account in later years after he becomes a wage worker is obvious. When these and other benefits are considered, the wonder is that the teaching of thrift by this eminently practical method has never been un- dertaken in the St. Louis public schools. The importance of the system to the banking inter- ests of the country is shown by the fact that 104,995 accounts have been transferred from the ‘|schools to regular banks. == ™ — -— There is singular appropriateness in the name of Admiral Wet Han, who is in America to buy a submarine for China. = = * rr SUPPRESSING PUBLICITY. We are not interested in the identity of the “Man of Mystery,” neither are we interested in his guilt or innocence except that this question be determined by a fair trial. We aro profoundly interested, however, in«the official effort to conceal the identity of the man and protect him from publicity when he is punished for violating law. Publicity is the greatest moral force in the world. It is more potent to check crime and eradicate evils than the penalties of law. If it can be prevented in one case it can be prevented in many cases. The people will thus be deprived of its power for good. Every effort to check publicity should be rigidly opposed, and officials guilty of it should be punished. Wicked and ignorant Chicago readily perceives Seuthern wickedness and ignorance. = = * —-— = NEW YORE’S MONEY MAGNET. We started a new banking system to give some of the rest of us a chance at the money of the country and keep New York from getting her hands on all of it, and then a great war broke out and made a tremendous lot of business for New York exporting houses. The result is that as the end of the Federal reserve system’s first year approaches, New York has more of the money of the country than ever before in history. The bank reserves of the town are $204,794,586 over legal requirements and total the unprecedented sum of $606,760,000 of which $413,249,000 is in gold. And on Saturday $19,000,- 000 more in gold arrived there from Europe and so choked up the bank vaults they couldn’t get the doors shut. A magnet for money seems to be included among New York civic assets, As soon as a dol- lar out West takes wings it becomes a migrating bird in which the homing instinct is utterly lost. If it circles around in the air two or three times it is only to get its bearings, when it darts at great speed for the East, instead of the North or South. While the Federal reserve system has been mobilizing our national monetary resources, New York has been doing a little mobilizing herself. Even if Bethlehem steel should continue at its present high quotation, she has enough money on hand to pay cash for several shares. = = * i i A Persons who compare the administration’s pol icles toward Germany and Mexico, and who talk of the murder of Americans in Mexico, should be asked these questions: (1) Do you know the name of any American who has been mur- dered in Mexico? (2) If Americans have been killed in Mexico, was it done by the Government, or by individuals? = = — a. a ‘‘THE WHOLE PRODUCT OF HIS LABOR.’’ Chairman Walsh and those members of the Industrial Commission who signed his special report quoted Lincoln’s remarks on what is due to the worker, concluding with the sentence: “To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, or gas nearly as possible, is a worthy subject of any good government.” The claim that the worker should receive ‘the whole product of his labor” has been made in practically this unmodified form ever since the Socialist agitation began, in this or any other country. Abraham Lincoln enunciated a broad principle, and doubtless had in mind the difficul- ties that would be met in applying it in our present state of industrial progress. For ex- jample, a man opens a small restaurant, He em- ploys a cook and three or four waiters. Precisely what is “the whole product of their labor?” In the case of a farm hand who puts in the seed, cultivates and harvests the ensuing crop, the “whole product” of his labor is the crop itself. But no farmer and no farm hand would accept this as a basis of labor settlement. In using this phrase, without explanation or modification, although its use is backed up by the quotation from Lincoln, Mr. Walsh simply followed the labor demagogue who would per- suade ignorant workers to believe that the prob- lem is simply one of making a rough division of profits in industry. The fact is, it is such a scientific and complicated problem that it would [take an apmy of experts and another army Government inspectors and appraisers, placed in every industrial plant, no matter how small, to solve it on the labor demagogue’s or Socialist’s lines. That it will ever be solved that way, no reasonable man believes. Only this is agreed on—there is injustice. The remedy is in the growth of the sense of honesty and justice among employers and employed. To become just, we must learn to put ourselves in the other fellow’s place. The powder plant explosions may be echoes of the big war. een = = * a a NSORSHIP FOLLY. 3 m the legal issue involved in the cage irth of a Nation.” The objection to the production of the film is based upon its presentation of scenes in the South during reconstruction times after the war which are offensive to negroes. With equal force and truth it might be said that reproduction in picture, story or drama of incidents of the Civil War would be offensive to Southerners or North- eners and the same plea might deprive the public of any representation of historical events and scenes. ; Whether the film is accurate in detail or not its scenes fairly depict conditions existing in the South at the time. Whether the scenes present the conditions from the right or wrong side is a matter of opinion and opinion is free. When American communities authorize officials to say what shall or shall not be presented in literature or picture, short of the indecent, they surrender the right of free opinion and free speech. They turn over to more or less incompe- tent public officials the power to suppress truth, distort social conditions and facts of history. In a measure it means the control of thought and opinion, darkness rather than light, and the tainting of public judgment on social and political questions. No man or set of men can be trusted to decide what is good for the people in art, re- ligion or politics. The only safe and reliable censor is enlightened public opinion. So far as the “Birth of a Na- tion” is concerned the effort to suppress it in the cities where it has been booked has resulted mere- ly in a lot of profitable advertising for the pro- duction. Those who demand the suppression of the film, consciously or unconsciously, contribute to its popularity and success. In the words of Jefferson, “Time and truth will at length correct error.” The New York banks are trying to shoo off European gold. Amazing conditions have come with the big war. What next? _—_ — —- wo LIEGE DEMONSTRATES GRATITUDE... The population of Liege is trying to show its gratitude for what America has done for it and Belgium in general by sending back to the donors the bags in which they had forwarded food and other necessaries, after Liege artists of note shall have painted on them landscapes, fruit and flower decorations. Several packages of these tokens of gratitude have already gone forward, and thousands of others ate in prepara- tion. Where there were individual addresses of the donors, the return is made direct to them; in all other cases the bags are sent to the commission that forwarded them, with the request to trans- mit to the donors. (= rr MAN CUILDING. A coward in steel armor is a coward still; tw: swords at his belt did not make’ a hero of Perrichon. Culture must be personal—reach the inner self; a tinted halo around the person may leave the individual crude and raw. Man is never, under any contingency, more than human man; super-man is a phantom of imagination. Don Quixote tried to raise himself by his bootstraps, but remained anchored to the ground. Externalities, no matter how crowned or gilded, “come off” like whitewash in a dashing rain. Live a natural, well regulated life; and re- member that nature is after ‘all the best guide to health; if you strike her in the face, she will invariably strike back. Excess of work, of play, of pleasure, of habits, of food, of drink, bear their own sting. Morally, Man-Building relates chiefly to will and appetite. It is lamentable to see a full-fledged man who “cannot break” an evil or deleterious habit. We all have seen the “fiend” throw his tobacco or cigarette out of the window in the surf®it of the night, and pick them out of the wet grass in the morning. Man is not born a slave; and any- thing that enslaves him is unworthy. Drill the will from childhood until it “holds.” Insist on carrying out a resolution for your own self-re- spect. P Bridle appetite, physical and moral, no matter what its objective. It is only the half-man who MUST sate his desire just because of a tickling palate. Systematically refuse, until you feel that} you have control. Only then will you be “king in your realm.” your mind-house with what is pleasant to the washed mental sense; and leave filth to the scav- engers. Merchants in the unesthetic, whether in word, book or thought, should be ostracised. Firmly establish judgment. Train it to cor- rectness. No fact shorn of its circumstances id¢ concretely right; every fact is related. Study that relation before you break the rod. Every man or woman should have some attain- ment that alds in making life more bearable, not only for himself, but also for others. Reflect the light of nature in a pleasant smile, which is balm on many a wounded heart. Draw the sting out of your words before you utter them. Sharp words bespeak the barbarian, whose pleasure it is to wound. Such systematic endeavor will build the cul- tured man and woman, the backbone of civiliza- tion: it guarantees a lasting morality which this circumstance or that will not scrape off, leaving untutored nature bare to the dumfounded aye, ) —_ 1, Stock imagination with the amenities—furnish |. — ——— . ot ow sae ye. 4e: —e a Spee VER « ~~ at Ee po SOREN CG iret ‘Ae @ + +4. a A>" BY ot te ve , th ty ’ ‘ ale As OAR ae md ES EN NP POC IT NF nad THE HEADLESS MAN. kd 4b _ of ; ’ : ape er oh: Be or > t% . ee er (= OO a a A H, Luella!

It reduced her exchequer, but lisent eyes showed from under the soil- ed and creased sombrero worn by the driver and his manner was that of a cultured gentleman. Still, his voca- tion was humble, his clothing rough, his present position on a par with the femily coachman. “Will you kindly tell the men with ‘he second van to take the hill road ‘when the conveyance arrives?’ he had neked courteously. Miss Dallemand bestowed upon him a chilling stare. A slight smile passed over the face of the vas so enigmatical, and withal so sus- ceptible of fine generations of analysis that the companion of the exclusive \fies Dallemand was influenced to pay attention to him. She was only Lucia Parr, poor and an orphan, but a, fa- vorite with Victoria. She deprecated (he autocratic action of her friend.

The groceryman brought you home at once. And I have been working over you for ihalf an hour with ammonia and cold water to bring you to yourself.” Nell gave a sigh of relief. “Do you Know, mother,” sie said slowly, with a grateful smile, ‘I am glad to be home, and in future I will mind my own business—I don't want to go again to Busybody Land.”’ {Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspapor Syndicate, New York City.) To See a Speeding Bullet. The most amazing sight in our expe- rience, Says a writer in Popular Mechan- ics, was the United States service bullet with its speed of 2700 feet a second. Here we saw the bullet itself, not flying particies. The sun was low over the eastern hills. Its rays came through a break in the ridge bordering the range, lighting up most of the course of the bullet up to the*target 200 yards away, but leaving the target and the firing point in deep shadow. The first bullet was seen by some one, gand not a man present missed the strange sight later on. The appearance was a very brilliant silvery flash, as vivid and quick as a flash of lightning. But two things are necessary to see bul- lets fly, a dark background and the sun The woman had a very difficult time making her choice. She felt very much flattered that there were so many who wanted to marry her. Of course, as usual in such cases, she did not see that they were looking for a meal-ticket and a soft snap and were willing to put up with her to get it. Finally, one there came who seemed to suit. Hie had a gcod education, having been “‘away to school.” He had no bad habits. He hated the grape, and long ago threv’ away the weed, and he was too lady-like to say a swear- word; his manners were perfect, and he had for so long been mother’s little boy that had been securely guarded from sowing his “wild oats.”” And— weli, his recommendation read: ‘Per- fect gentleman.” , They were married and he settled down to be a devoted husband. At first, having chosen a “perfect’”’ husband, SHE had to live up to him. She had to show perfect manners and refrain from any show of temper and not look at any other man, and all the rest. Each was vying with the other to see how “perfect’’ each could be; so that one would not have anything “on” the othcr It was hard work to live a ‘‘per- fect”’ - life. But having chosen her mate, the womar learned that she could not consider herself, but had to reckon with his approval in the “perfect” scheme. But by-and-by the ‘“perefect’> game began to pall on Willy. And now, hav- ing a little power with a little cash, he longed for the things that had been enriched her experience... The woman now retired to peace and solitude, and for a few years she was deaf to the matrimonial impulse. But, being a very nice person, again there appeared 43 suitor. Her first query was:® “Are you a perfect man?’ “Far from it,’’ he answered. “I have some bad habits, but I will do my best by you. Give your money to your rela- tives. I want to work for you. I want 3ous: > : Sh® married again. She had to put up with a few things she did not like, but in the long run she waa very happy, because the material of which real men are made WAS THERE, with its backbone of responsibility and respect and love and kindness. The woman learned this moral: BEWARE OF THE PERFECT MAN WHO HAS NOT A SINGLE BAD HAB. IT, FOR HE USUALLY LACKS THE HABIT OF BEING HUMAN. The flag of the United Kingdom, com- monly known as the British flag, is the Official flag of the whole empire, though, of course, the various provinces have their flaglets, just as some states of the American Union hgve theirs, while Old Glory flies over all. , 2 2 Cee en ase = oo Va SIXTH & ST.CHARLES We Give host was showing him about the gar- den when the General started. halted and stared. “My nephew here!’’ erfed the old man and his glance was fixed on Wharton, who, assisted by Lucia, was training a vine up a trellis, their faces temptingly near together. “That—why, that is Wharton, a jewel of a manager I have employed——”’ gan Mr. Dallemand. “Yes, Eric Wharton Taylor.” added the General. ‘Hey, sir, what is the meaning of this masquerade?” he haiied. and Lucia, with blushing face retreated. and Wharton advanced. ‘I put you on probation——’’ “Well, I’ve started in to make a man of myself by seeking honest haven't 1?” smiled Wharton. The General put out his hand with the words: “I guess we'll cancel that foo!- ish quarrel.

The unknown Iric Wharton Taylor had been on her list cf prospective suitors. However, she bit her lip and smiled on Lucia, and really approved the match with that “common person!” (Copyright, 1915. by College Enrollment.

PROVES STAR ANYWHERE Rickey’s Hardest Problem Is to _Decide in What Capacity to * Make Use of Him. By W. J. O’Connor. ‘They say, these gossips do, George Sisler received a cash bonus of $10,- 090 for signing with the Browns. Rickey almost admits as much when he says: “In getting Sisler, I staked a lot. 1 ‘plunged’ for the first time in. my life, and | believe I made no mistake.” However, and his will re- niain a secret. We can hazard a Suess, but Rickey is loath to give out the details of the deal that landed the Michigan WU. boy in St. Louis. But thig much'we know: If Sisler cost the club 810,000 he’s @ bargain. Bar none, he’s the greatest young player who has entered the major leagues since Ty Cobb's time.

That the Browns’ attendance was held to less than 6000 shows the in- roads made on the O. B. exchequer by the cut prices of the Federals. But—and while considering this “but,” look out for your goat, Mr. Federal—it's a long, long way from «coring a financial success. Feds Barely Break Even. i fact, two things will have to happen in Federal Leaguedom before jitney baseball can get a toe- hold on the map that promises any- thing like permanency. They are: Vast increase in seating capac- ity.

Figuring that ALL the attendance Wag paid, since the jitney gate swung open here, the. cash receipts total approximately $6250. In these times each club is under close to $1000 daily expense, counting in all angles of the war disbursement. So that even with everything favorable, and counting in the two “big days” of the week, jit- ney haseball barely covered ex- penses for the two clubs, in the loen! tert. .

Nelson, who never won a fight, but what he had to take a worse beating than the man he stopped: who was always outpoint- ed and beaten except when the route was a marathon affair, is again to be a title contender! Oh, my sore lip! With punch and stamina gone, speed impaired, hands incapa- ble of standing the drive of deliv- ering a solid punch, what right his thig veteran to get a shy at the title? If Welsh grants the match, he can't be blamed, of course; for $25,000 is a pretty bank roll to grab off easily. But the public can enjoy a good laugh at the pass to which the lightweight fight class has deteriorated should such a bout slip by as a “championship. ’ = At Last a Live One. YGIENE experts and public wel- fare commissions, which have been having laws passed to purify the drinking cup and hand a per- petual “kayo” on the disease germ, ought to take a peek at ringside con- aitions prevailing at boxing bouts, aad then start the army of preven- tion in motion. Laws are framed to protect the boxer from harm in the ring. Some states pass laws to save him against his own will by barring the’ game. But the worst menace to the fighter is not his opponent, It is the sponge, the water bucket and the towel Sponges of unknown antecedents serve for a long line of boxers. Saturated in water from a bucket used for nobody knows how many unclean purposes, the sponge is used to wipe the dirt from the boxer’s face, back, legs, to Wash out cuts on the face, mouth, nose, etc., and to cool off the top of the fighter's head. Occasionally the sponge falls to the floor; but that’s nothing. They flop it into the water bucket and then squeeze the dripping men- ace into the open mouth of the boxer so that he can moisten his tongue without taking water into his stom- ach. = * - HE towel is a worse thing still. It is always dirty, dragged over the floor, hung over dirty ropes or over the contaminated shoulder of seconds none too clean in their apparel. Then its germs are vigorously fanned and slapped into the face of the helpless boxer. Between the towel, the bucket and the sponge, as handled by some seconds, it's rs wonder a fighter survives éven to the e of 30, at which period ‘‘old age” usu- y eliminates the boxer from competi- tion. Wisconsin has seen the evil of the germ-bearin menaces. The water bucket, towel swinging and spouting wa- ter over fighters by aid of the mouth have been forced out by the Badger Yoxing Commission. This elimination ought to be made universal. ont aa ieee rid —_ Red Sox and Braves Made Best Showings During the Past Week NEW YOR of another clube leagues fi a in each circuit in the position as a. week ago, prisinely small changes in percentage. | horas Braves in the National Balad and the Boston Red Sox in the an, made the best showings in ircults.

MISS STEWART IS WINNER Sixteen-Year-Old Pupil of Coach Whitaker Beats Old Record Ten Minutes. Miss Grace Stewart, the 16-year-old sirl, who was coached by Tom Whit- aker, the M. A. A. swimming mentor, yesterday carried off Lonors in the two- mile women’s river swim of the West- ern Rowing Club. Miss Stewart's time was 19m. 53s., breaking the course rec- crd set by Miss Burnett last year by nore than 10m. An accident was narrowly averted after the finish of the race, when the paddlers were being taken on the steamer Kabekoma. Miss Regina Son- nenshein’s skiff was carried under the big boat and overturned. The swimmer was in danger of being carried under the paddle wheel, but Wred Ward and Horace Buckley suc- ceeded in pulling her to safety. Before last year, when she reported to Whitaker at the Fairground pool, Miss Stewart had never swum a stroke ir. her life. Whitaker soon saw a great future for her shortly after she began learning. Whitaker’s confidence in her ‘vas brought out yestercaygwhen she de- feated her older rivals and now is rated ax the women’s long distance champion of the United States. Although Miss Stewart was entered in the paddle last year, she was declared ineligible by the officials just before the race started. The age limit was 16 years and at the’ time of the 1914 event she was only 15. Although barred, Miss Stewart swam over the course and al- though she did not finish ahead of Miss Burnett. she made a good showing. In yesterday's event Miss Stewart used the crawl stroke and was not forced to ex- iend herself at any time. Youth Was Served. It was a great day for the younger swimmers. Of the first four, three of them were just above the age limit of 16 vears. They were Miss Stewart, Miss Ruth Wilderman, whe finished third and Miss Ethel Tittsworth, who landed fourth place. Miss Rieger, who took second, is 18 years old. very one of the 16 swimmers, who finished -the race, beat the time record set ov Miss Burnett last year by mere than 2m. | Miss Ricger. who finished second, is a pupil of Hugo Froelich of the Fairground pool. She swam. a good race, but her work lacked the finish that accompanied that of Miss Stew- art. Miss Wilderman is the “dark horse’ developed by Tom Whitaker this year. Prior to the race, Whit- aker announced that Miss Wilderman would ‘give them all a hard race for leading honors. And she brought out the Cherry Diamond mentor’s word, finishing Im. 2s. behind Miss Stewart, Locked Like a “Whitaker Day.” It was Whitaker’s day. All four of the paddlers he entered landed among the first 10. Miss Stewart copped the race, Miss Wilderman was third, Miss Frances Billsbarrow took sev- enth place, while Miss Evelyn Bur- nett came home in‘ninth —_ Of the out-of-town paddlers, Mrs. Evelyn Hill of Pittsburg made the best showing. The Smoky City entry landed in fifth place. She might have bettered this record, but the only training she did for, the event was to take one paddie of 600 yards in still water, Miss Alice McLean of Washington was fourteenth, and Miss Emma Sicking of East St. Louts fif- teenth.

CRANDALL TWICE VICTOR Former Giant Gets Credit for Both Conquests Over Pack- ers Yesterday. With the largest crowd of the season on hand, barring opening day, estimated at 14,000 by a club official, the Ter- riers failed to play up to form yester- day and won a double-header from Kansas City, 2-1 and 8-0. Generally the home club loses when a packed house is on hand. } If the Terriers remain in the thick of the race for the rest of the campaign, “double jitney’’ baseball is bound to prove a success, numerically, at any rate. Yesterday the bleachers and pa- vilion were packed to overflowing, while the grand stand was comfortably filled. The bleachers seat 5000 fans, and they were standing up in front of each other all along the line yesterday, this brin ing. the count up to about 5500. An offi. cial of the se p auaramoed that the pa- vilion would t 2000, which .with the overflow in the. little temporary stand n the grand stand and pavilion brought: the pavilion crowd to 2500.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dtapateb. NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view, today, says: “It could hardly be said that the news from Berlin and Washington, over Sunday, gave any new view of the dip- lomatic settlement, except so far as it seemed to confirm belief in the over- throw of the Von Tirpitz ring and the intimation at unqualified acquiescence in our Government’s demands, “On the Stock Exchange, however, prices failed to make further favorable response. Whether this was because of doubt over what would be done with the $35,000,000 American securities an- nounced as delivered here from Lon- don, vesterday, or because of dislike at the further violent break in exchange on London, or merely because, with the good news in the diplomatic field now all at hand, a realizing movement had begun—at all events the day’s move- ment was downward. There were some early advances of a point or less, in which the _ railway shares participated. This recovery ceased before noon; then, after an hour or 80 pause, a general selling move- ment started, and the last hour was marked by_ 7_declines throughout tho m* nan hc Cotton Crop Report. Among the incidents of the day was the monthly Washington estimate on the cotton crop’s condition. It is redueed 6 per cent from a month ago and is 8% per cent below this date last year, the most productive states showing a condition well below the average of the past 10 years. Along with the cut of 11% per cent in acreage, it is not un- reasonable to expect a crop of at least 4,000,000 bales, or say 24 per cent below last year’s. The cotton market, which had closely predicted today’s condition report, was little influenced by the esti- mate: it is, in fact, watching most closely the developments in England’s proposed concessions to blockade cotton exporters.

Corn futures opened ic hi er on low temperatures and frost Iowa and the Northwest. The inaetiet lost nearly all the advance, however. Oats were easier on large crop estimates.

Cargo market was steady. Winters 1%%d higher, Manitobas 3d higher, Indians 4%d ‘higher and Plates nominally unchanged. Pros- ects are for a liberal movement of ritish wheat, with crop larger than expected, but immediate demand is becoming urgent and the scarcity of American shipments and the unfa- vorable quality of winters arriving are causing apprehension.

That condition compares with 75.2 per cent on July 2% this year, 78.6 per cent on Aug. 3 last year, 68.2 per cent in 1913 and 72.8 per cent, the average condition on Aug. 3 during the last 10 years., A crop slightly under 12,000,000 bales was forecast by the crop ‘reporting board from the July % condition. The Bureau of Crop Estimates announces that a condition of 100 on Aus. # 3 would be equivalent to a yield of 9 to the acre. The area planted this has been officially reported as 31,585,000 acres. Weathe’ conditions for the crop had not teen very favorable during the month, Hot and generally con- tinued dry weather greatly retarded prow over many portions of the elt during the first week and but little progress was possible except over the northern portion, where lo- cal rains and moderate warmth fa- vored satiefactory growth. During the early part of the month drouth con- tinued very generally in Texas and was becoming severe over large areas. Continued dry weather over the greater part of the more important producing states prevented satisfac- tory growth during the second week of the month and the cro very gen- erally deteriorated. Shedding was re- ported in many sections and bolls pe we opening prematurely in districts where the drouth prevailed, Insect pests were reported generally less active than usual. Deterioration due to adverse weath- er during the early weeks of the month wat arrested by good rains over much of the central] and eastern ortions cf. the belt during the lat- r part of the month and the crop responded to the more favorable con- dition. Rain was still needed in a greater part of Mississippi and in some portions of Alabama. In the western part of the belt good grow- ing conditions prevailed except in Texas, where the drouth continued over much of the State until the close of the week, when the West Indian storm brought considerable rain over the eastern and coast dis- tricts. a a tale Comparisons py “ and astern time, daturday, Oct.
