Ambassador Dumba meantime had been to call on Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor in connection with a plan to aid in obtaining employment for any Auatrian subjects who might leave their places in the munitions plants as the result of publication of the decree threatening punishment. Secre- tary Wilson was not at his office and the Ambassador returned to his chan- cellory, intending to return to the sum- mer embassy at Lenox, Mass., later to- day. Ambassador’s Contention, While neither Secretary Lansing nor Dr. Dümba would discuss their inter- view, it was understood the Ambassador contended that his letter contemplated no violation of American laws nor of- fense against American institutions. No steps it was said, had been taken to execute the Austrian plans, but Dr. Dumba had received instructions to make known a new decree of the dual empire, declaring its nationals amenable to martial law for helping in the manu- facture of munitions for an enemy. It was understood that Dr. Dumba contended that co-operation in executing the law’s purposes merely fulfilled the duty of an Ambassador responsible for "protecting his nationals. There was no denial, however, that Austria-Hungary's representatives would not hesitate to handicap their enemy’s efforts to get munitions, although they had no desire to injure American inter ests.

AT FIRE PROVE Ib BE GASOLINE Fluid in Pure Form or Mixed With Water in Every Recep- tacle at Printing Plant. — BARRELS MAY GIVE CLEW Mystery of Who Brought Them Into Nixon-Jones Building Is Unsolved, Investigation into the origin of the mysterious fire which last Saturday night destroyed the plant of the Nixoi- Jones Printing Co. at 215 Pine street, showed today, through tests, that al! the samples taken from five barrels and four boxes found in the building were either pure gasoline or gasoline mixed The samples are in the possession of Acting Fire Chief Rucker. A private test made by instruction of Roy M. B. Tidd, president of the com- pany, showed about one inch of gas- line in one of the barrels still remain- ing in the building under guard. Tidd is aiding the police and fire de- partment officials in an effort to find who brought the barrels and boxes into the building. He and his employes agree that the barrels and boxes were not in the place when it was closed for business Saturday. The elevator in the building was destroyed by fire an Chief Rucker said that a test show that the barrels could not be carried up the narrow stairways. The mystery of the appearance of the barrels and boxes containing gasoline, is engaging the attention of the police and fire department. Markings on the barrels have been submitted to experts in handling of] and it appears certain that at least one of the barrels was filled within one month. Fireman Found Blazing Gasoline. Acting Chief Rucker told a Post-Dis- patch reporter today that in fighting the fire the firemen were confronted with a blazing stream of gasoline in the basement that appeared to be at least three inches in depth. He said it was only driven’ back by the sheer force of three powerful streams of water. “Who brought that quantity of gaso- line into the building is a puzzle the authorities and members of the com- pany are now trying to solve,” said the Acting Chief, but all the men who wire at the fire will swear that an un- lawful amount of gasoline was in the building. | Tidd said today that while he had dipped his hand into the barrels and boxes Sunday and had expressed him- self convinced that they had con- tained some amount of gasoline, he is now having an investigation made as to whether what smelled like gasoline might not have been a chemical used by the fire department in fighting the fire. He said he hoped the mystery of the appearance of the barreis and boxes in the building would be cleared up ani that he was making every effort to get at the facts in the case. He said that wher he and other em- ployes visited the building on Sunday that they saw no trace of burlap or rags soaked with oil or gasoline, such as were reported to have been found there Monday by the fire department officials. Firm’s Watchman Barred, In order to protect the interests of the company, Tidd said that he ar- ranged Monday night for one of his employes to remain in the building with the police watchman. He told 4 Post-Dispatch reporter today that this watchman had been refused tance to the building and that he had been obliged to go to the office of the Chief of Police, with a lawyer, to ob- tain an order for the admittance of his employe. Tidd also said that the police had removed much of the wire in the building used for an inter-communicat- ing telephone, and for an electric clock. Capt. Dan O’Connell, in discussing a report that one of the barrels taken from the building contained nothing but water, said: “Before taking the barrel from the building, we emptied the contents into an iron barrel and sent it to the Fire Chief’s office. In rolling out the bar- rel it probably gathered some water from the floor. The presence of gaso- line in the barrel was unmistakable.” — James F. J. Archibald to Germany on behalf of Ambassador Dumba and Capt. von Papen of the German embassy at Washington, has terminated suddenly. He has embarked at Rotterdam on the liner Rotterdam, for New York. The Rotterdam will touch at Falmouth Thursday, but it is not believed the British authorities will molest Archi- bald further. According to reliable in- formation, the correspondent and confi- dential messenger got no further than The Hague. It is believed that the lega- tion there got others to intercept him and give him notice that if he went further his passport would be can- celed. The Evening News seizes the oppor- tunity for a sarcastic fling at President Wilson, saying: Dr. Dumba knows by experience that under its present guard- lanship the American eagle will stand a lot of teasing. In this country we are not surprised by the Dumba revelations, any diplomat should have believed such plotting could be kept secret. But now that the murder is out, what will hap- pen? Probably Dr. Wilsun will indefi- nitely await à satisfactory explanation.” Progressive Majority Takes Piace of Censervatives in Duma.

TE, NEW YORK, Sept. &—Comments of the Hungarian-American press in New York on the action of Ambassador Ibumba in forwarding to his Govern- ment a memorandum outlining a plan for tying up munitions works in this country, -vary from bitter denunciation to mild disapproval. Zador Szabados, editor of the Elo’re, a Hungarian daily newspaper published here, which champions the cause of labor, y@terday gave out the following statement: “It is one question whether the Aus- trian and Flungarian workers, employed by “the ammunition factories, have a right to strike for improving their work- ing conditions, and another question whether the Austro-Hungarian Ambas- sador has a right to influence the work- ers movement. We answer the first evestion by most emphatic ‘Yes,’ “On the other hand we denounce most expressly the Ambassador's attempts to ir.terfere with the workers’ movement, which has been heretofore and will and must be hereafter a purely economical one. “We fully agree with the American standpoint that a representative of a foreign country commits an inexcusable indiscretion by attempting to interfere with the other state’s domestic affairs. Dumba’s Approaches Repudiated. “For the second, and this is our chief consideration, we absolutely repudiate the Ambassador’s approaches toward the working class movement. The plain fact that it is only now he discovers that Austrians and Hungarians are toil- ing 12 hours a day and that this same circumstance did not disturb his soft dreams for years, explains everything. “We deplore the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador’s blunder all the more as it is apt to reflect a false light on future movements in munitions factories.” „Relative to the plan of Dr. Dumba to tie up munifions factories, Geza D. Berko, editor of the Amerikal Magyar Napszava, said: “I think it is wrong to the Hungarian workingman to undertake such a scheme. If the Ambassedor had taken a few leading Hungarian-American cit- izens into his confidence they would have told him it could not succeed. “If Ambassador Dumba believed non- naturalized citizens working in muni- tions plants were violating a law of Austria-Hungary, he could have pub- lished a notice in Hungarian-American papers instead of using the method he did use.“ ‘ MAN SHOT BY WIFE Neighbor Grasps Revolver as Mrs. Rose Scheve Aims Bullet at Herself, Mrs. Rose Schevé, 38 years old, 6014 Minnesota avenue, shot and seriously wounded her husband, Herman, a dairy wagon driver, at their home at 1:30 this afternoon. According to the police, she was trying to shoot herself when a neighbor, a Mrs. Gamache, who had heard the first shot, ran in and took the revolver away from her. Scheve walked to the office of Dr. Edward Richter, 7310 Michigan avenue, where a wound in the breast was dressed. He told a patrolman that his wife’s act waseinspired by jealousy. Mrs. Scheve was taken to the Caron- delet Police Station, but was so hyster- ical that the police deferred questioning her. Hooke to Address Business Men. James A.

The arregt yesterday of George P. W. Lorenzen, a distributing clerk in the main for 13 years, disclosed the way in which postoffice inspectors set about to learn who was robbing the mails of cash remittances sent to St. Louis firms doing business with cus- tomers on the rey of or monthly pay- ment plan. The inspectors began by investigating the personal habits of the distributing clerks, and te learn if any of them, by chance, owned an automobile. Apparent- ly they considered the ownership of an automobile by postoffice clerks to be an expenditure not justified by the sal- ary. They learned Lorenzen was an auto owner, so they concentrated their watch upon him. Lorenzen’s every movement in his dis- tribution of mail had been observed for several days by inspectors, who, by looking through peep-holes, could see what Lorenten was doing without Lo- renzen being aware that he was being watched. Yesterday Lorenzen was seen to put several letters in his pocket. Inspectors followed him to his home, 4468 Greer avenue, when he had fin- ished his day’s work. There they arrest- ed him and forced a confessicn. Loren- zen gave the inspectors $40, which he said he had stolen from letters in the last nine days. A search of the home disclosed several letters which had been opened, but which Lorenzen had failed to destroy. Owned Aute With Mother, Inspectors said the thefts had been going on for nearly a year and that pos- sibly $2000 had been stolen. Lorenzen, in his cell at the city jail today, told a Post-Dispatch reporter he had not stolen more than $10 and that his thefts had been going on not more than three months. He said all the money he had stolen had been paid out for doctor bills and medicine for himself, wife and two children. The auto, he said, was jointly owned by himself and his mother. It was a second-hand, 5-passenger car, and his share cost him $250. He said he pur- chased it because he believed his sick family would improve it they could get more fresh air. Lorenzen insisted he lived within his salary of $1200 a year, with the excep- tion of amounts paid recently for medi- cal services. He was frugal, he said, and did not drink or gamble. — Inspectors told reporters that Loren- zen's method, as he described it to them, was to watch the mall passing through his hands for letters containing the Two Taubes Cross French Lines on Day of Funeral of Capt.

Will Be Given to Grand Jury. A verdict of criminal carelessness was returned today by a Coroner’s jury in- vestigating ne death of Mrs. Carrie Wadelmann, 52 years old, of 4468 Itaska street, who was run aown Saturday night, at Gravois avenue and itaska street, by an automobile driven by Gro- ver Fess, 23 years old, of 2202 South Jefferson avenue. Hess ig at liberty on a common- law bond to appear next Saturday in the Court of Criminal Correction to answer any charge that may be placed against him. After the inquest Assistant Circuit Attorney Baer said the facts would be presented to the grand jury as soon as a transcript was made of the testimony before the Coroner. Girls in Aute Questioned. Miss Corinne Coppinger and Miss Ju- liette Ruth Heim, each 19 years old and living at 1723 South Jefferson avenue, were the witnesses questioned this morn- ing when the Coroner’s inquiry was re- sumed. They were in the automobile, a roadster, with Hess, Charles Staehlin, 21. of 1734 Mississippi avenue was seated on the tool box on the running voard. Deputy Coroner Fath asked Miss Cop- pinger to state her occupation, She re- plied that she was a lady of lei- sure." Miss Coppinger testified that Hess was driving south on Gravois avenue and was going between 10 and 12 miles an hour. When the Cherokee street car stopped to discharge passengers, among whom was Mrs. Wadelmann, she shid Hess slackened up, and that when the street car started, he, too, start- ead up, to pass Itaska street with the street car. This contradicted the testimony given yesterday by four witnesses, who said Hess was driving at high speed, which they thought was not less than 30 miles an hour, and who stated that he did not slacken speed, or stop behind the street ear as an ordinance requires. Says Woman Was Confused. Hess turned to the right to pass Mrs. Wedelmann, the witness said, and Mrs. Wadelmann then ran to the right; Hess turned left, and Mrs. Wadelmann dodged back the same way; Hess then turned to the right again and Mrs. Wa- wes hit by the left mud- and thrown five feet. “The machine was almost to a stop when the woman was hit,“ Miss Cop- pinger added. There was a speedometer en the machine, she said, but she did not observe it. She judged the speed by previous rides in autos. Miss Coppinger said the automobile stopped within five feet after striking the woman. The machine, she asserted, ran into a telephone pole, and not into un iran troliey pole, as other witnesses und testined. Miss eim, when asked her occupa— tion, stated she was not doing anything nov. “We were going west on Gravois avenue,” she began. “The street car started up and we slacked down.“ ijera she became so confused that for fully three minutes she remained silent. Then Deputy Coroner Fath told her not to get in her own way, What happened. Hess, from a seat at a table memr by, called to her to tell just What she new.” Not Going Fast.

Thus far Frost has been unable to veri- fy the report. “No submarine was seen by anyone before the ship was struck, nor was any warning given,” says an officia’ statement issued by the Allan Line et Liverpool regarding the Hesperian.

AND PUT TO DEATH ? MEXICAN BANDITS Men Identified by American as Belonging to Band Which Killed 2 U. S. Citizens. By Associated Press. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Sept. 8. TWo Mexican bandits were caught and killed about 20 miles north of here yesterday. An American who was caught and held a prisoner by the same bandits who killed two Americans last week identified the two Mexicans. This American was asked by the peace officers: . “Do you know these men?” he replied. en worked month ago.“ “When did you last see them?” Last week.“ What were they doing!“ me prisoner.“ The next known of the Mexicans was a report of their death. Army in Command on Border, The United States Army today took the most important step it has yet made in the border complications of the lower Rio Grande Valley, when an order was is- sued here giving to army officers com- mand over the actions of civilians on the river bank in case of shooting across ths international boundary is resumed. Local peace officers heretofore have been permitted to participate in return- ing the fire of the Mexicans from the other side of the river. In some cases, these peace officers have pursued band- its fleeing from the Texas side to the river bank and held battle with them across the international line. Hereafter the army will attempt to handle all situations of whatever sort which arise on the Rio Grande. No Divided Authority. The Carranza autnorities have un- nounced that they can co-operate bet- ter with Americans in suppressing ban- dits if there is no divided authority on the river bank and if they know that they have to deal only with American soldiers. Also, the army officers have no au- thority to make arrests or do police work in the interior away from the riv- er, so that, in tightening their river pa- trols, they believe they are taking con- trol at the only place where they have free power to act; namely, within the immediate range of the international line. It is expected that further important orders will follow and that the army, with 4000 men available in this section, can attempt with some possibility of success to throw out patrols so strong that Mexicans trying to escape from the American border, or those trying to in- vade Texas, will have difficulty in crossing the Rio Grande. No Easy Task for Soldiers. This, however, is no easy task, for in a hundred miles or so, where this pa- trol probably will be tightest, the river with its convolutions offers about 500 miles of densely wooded banks to guard. Sheriffs and other posse officers in this section were notified today of the new military order, taking control dur- ing fighting. Notice was not sent to the rangers because they were not op- erating along the river banks. One company of rangers is working out of Harlingen towards the gulf coast, searching for the bandits who are be- lieved to have been among the slayers of the two Americans near San Benito last week. “Yes,” for me a “Holding 0 Piedras Niegras, Opposite Eagle Pass, Occupied by Carranza Troops.

Mayor Kiel agreed after a noon- day conference with President Mo- Chesney of the Terminal Association at Union Station yesterday, to rec- ommend in his message to the Board of Aldermen, Sept. 17, that long- standing litigation with the Terminal Association be cleared up by legal- izing tracks on public streets east of the Ranken tract. President McChesney agreed that the railroad would not only deliver the levee tracks of the Transfer Railway, the franchise of which ex- pires in November, but also that he would aceept an ordinanoe establish- ing a connection between the Termi- nal's tracks in Mill Creek Valley and the main free bridge approach on Gratiot street. The Terminal already has agreed to deliver the Transfer Railway in consideration of a temporary permit to lay tracks across three of the so- called “paper” streets in the Ran- ken tract, In the conference yester- day at Union Station, attended by City Counselor Daues, it was agreed that instead of a permit, an alder- manic franchise of 50 years be sub- stituted, and instead of permits is- sued without authority by Mayors Wells and Kreismann for 79 tracks crossing streets east of Compton avenue and north of Mill Creek Val- ley, a similar franchise shall be sub- stituted. City Counselor Daues agreed to continue the test case involving the illegal tracks east of Compton ave- nue, which ig scheduled for trial before the State Supreme Court next month, The case will be held up un- til the Board of Aldermen determines its policy regarding the proposed franchises. The test case is one of pending on appeal from the local police courts, where more than 500 suits were filed against the Terminal in 1908 by Thomas L. Anderson, then City Attorney. The railroad was charged with ob- structing public streets, and many cases tried by juries, called by the railroad’s attorneys, resulted in convictions and fines ranging from $25 to $500, the maxi- mum. Counselor Daues said his inves- tigation of the record shows that only eight of these convictions are pending in the Supreme Court on appeal, and that one case only is scheduled for trial under a stipulation by opposing counsel that each will abide by the decision in this case. After the conference at Union Station yesterday, Mayor Kiel met with Presi- dent Kinsey of the Board of Public Service and Director of Public Utilities Hooke, and arranged with them to have the necessary ordinances prepared for introduction in the Board of Aldermen SCORES OF FAMILIES FLEE FROM HIGH WATER NEAR NEVADA, MO, Cloudburat at Iola and Fort Seot t, Kan., Submerge Lowlands Along Marmion River. NEVADA, Mo., Sept. 8.—Scores of families residing in the lowlands along the Marmaton River had left their homes this morning for higher ground as a result of the greatest overflow in recent years caused by the floods in the Iola and Fort Scott, Kan., districts. The river rose eight feet during the night. At 10 o'clock this morning it had reached a stage of 27 feet and was still ris- ing at the rate of seven inches an hour.

AMERICAN TAKEN ON BRITISH PRIZE VESSEL IS RELEASED O. J. Malsch of New York, Wireless Operator, Had Been in Custody Since March 14, LONDON, Sept. 7.—C. J. Maisch of New York, wireless operator on ths Norwegian steamer Seattle, and a na- tive-born American citizen, who had been held in custody since the Seattle, formerly the Bangor, was captured, near the Falkland Islands, March 14 last, has been released as the result of rep- reséntations made in his behalf by the American Embassy. George Vielmetter, a naturalized American, steward on the same steam- er, is still held in the naval barracks at Plymouth, but his release is expected soon. Maisch is waiting here for his back pay. He will lay his case before the State Departmént when he reaches New York. The Bangor, as she was then known. was captured by the British cruiser Bristol, charged with carrying coal ani provisions destined for the German auxiliary cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, Plans for Piasa Street Sewer.

Otto Heller, professor of the German language and literature in Washing- ton University, obtained a divorce in Judge Wurdeman's court at Clayton to- day from Margaret Stevenson Heller, whom he married in February, 1893, shortly before he came to St. Louis. He charged her with deserting him three years and a half ago. She is now in Boston. Prof. Heller was asked, first by his lawyer and then by the Judge, if he knew his wife’s reason for leaving him. The only reason which he suggeste 1 was that Mra. Heller disliked living in St. Louis. „We had nothing but the usual quar- rels, he told the Judge. She did not, for one thing, like St. Louis, and was very unhappy here.“ “She was an Eastern girl?“ the Judge asked. Tes, from Boston.“ That is all,.“ the Judge said. In answering his lawyer's questions, Prof. Heller said he knew of “no just cause’ for his wife’s departure. He said he tried to get her to return to him, and kept up these efforts to the very last.“ This effort, he said, was made by personal letters and through mutual friends. One of these mutual friends, he said, was a Mrs. Bernays. Charles Krauss and Ludwig Kotany, character witnesses for Prof. Heller, said they had seen the Hellers in their home, and that the behavior of each toward the other was above criticism. The testimony took about 12 minutes. Mrs. Heller was not present, nor did anyone represent her. She filed a gen- eral deniel of Prof. Heller's charge last. Saturday, but did not contest the suit. Nothing was said, in the decree, about alimony. SEPARATE SURETY BOND SUITS IN FREDERICK CASE ENJOINED Temporary Order Issued by Judge Arnold on Request of the National Co. Circuit Judge Arnold yesterday issued an order which temporarily enjoins per sons from further prosecuting suits separately against the National Surety Co. on claims against August H. Fred erick. The surety company was on one of Frederick’s notary public bonds against which suits for a total of $16,- 000 have been brought, alleging that Frederick, who is now serving a sen- tence in the Missouri Penitentiary for forgery, committed a breach of the bond by falsely attesting fraudulent deeds of trust and thereby induced the Claimants to buy such deeds from him The injunction was asked for by the surety company, which offered to pay the full amount of the bond, $5000, into court, and allow the claimants to in- terplead for the fund in a joint action, thus avoiding a multiplicity of suits. The plan was opposed by counsel for John Nollau, who has a claim for $37@ against the surety company on Fred- erick’s bond. The attorney argued thar each claimant should be permitted to prosecute a suit separately. Counsel for the surety company con- tended that the interpleader suit. would be more equitable, as the $5000 could be pro rated among the various creditors suing on this bond. He contended that separate procedure might result in a few creditors exhausting the fund. Woman Says She Meant to Show Friends on Birthday That She Had Admirers. Mrs. Fannie Zell’s celebration of her thirty-third birthday, in her flat at 4680.4. Page boulevard yesterday was marred by the fact that she was arrested be- fore her friends had a chance to see the beautiful flowers which she sent to her- self. Mrs Zell gave the orders for the flow- ers to several floral companies but her friends were not supposed to know that she ordered them. To complete the illu- sion she had cards attached to the floral tributes to make it appear that they had been sent to her by the “brewery boys,“ William Lemp, Charles Lemp, Eberhard Anheuser, Frank Forster and Edwin Lemp, all officers of large St. Louls brewertes. The florists filled the orders without question until one concern received a second order with instructions that a card reading from Charles Lemp” be attached to the flowers. The florist called up Lemp’s office and found that no such order had come from there. The police were notified and detectives arrested Mrs. Zell in her flower-laden flat before her birthday guests arrived. She was released on a common law bond to answer any charge that might be brought against her. Mrs. Zell said she had intended to re- turn the potted plans and to pay for the cut flowers later. She admitted the deception to detectives and said she just wanted to “show off.“ so that her friends wouldn’t think she lacked ad- mirers. At first Mrs. Zell said she knew men whose names she had put on the flower cards. Later she said she did not know them, but used their names because she had heard of them as be- ing wealthy and generous. Two warrants charging Mrs. Zell with obtaining goods by false pretenses were issued today. The Bentzen Floral Co. of 3118 North Grand avenue, told the police that last year, on her birthday, Mrs. Zell ordered a $10 potted plant and had it charged to Frank Forster, a brewer. Forster repudiated the Bill. HARGADINE-M’KITTRICK CO. SUES FORMER OFFICER AND EMPLOYES $50,578.63 Alleged to Be Due to Dry Goods Concern for Purchase of Stock. Suits for $59,578.63 were filed in the Cir- cuit Court today by the Hargadine-Mc- Kittrick Dry Goods Co., against one for- mer officer and four former employes of the firm. The attorney filing the suits said the money is due for the purchase of stock by the defendants, who gave their notes to insure the payments. George H. Allen, who, the attorney said, was a former officer of the com- pany, is alleged to owe $35,000. The oth- er defendants and the amounts asked are: George E. Meredith, $4500; John H. Verdier, $5232.63; Henry C. Welge, $3945.99, and Peter F. Leilich, $11,000. The attor- ney said some of the defendants made their. notes to the company and that oth- ers made their notes to Thomas H. Me- Kittrick, who later assigned them to the firm. The dry goods company has gone out of business, and its assets are in the hands of a liquidating committee. Suit for a receiver is pending in the Federal Court. The company’s financial troubles resulted from its promotion of and in- vestment in the Railway Exchange Building. the Geotge W.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 28.—Unusual im- portance may be attached to the forth- coming elections of members of Partia- ment, for which the different parties have already adopted their platforms. The Storthing, as the entire Norwegian legislative body is called, is elected ev- ery third year, direct by the people, with women now. entitled to vote under the same conditions as men. The elec- tion will take place this fall. In common with a number of other countries, an issue in Norwegian poli- tics this year is the question of national defense. The war crisis a year ago found the country very poorly prepared to meet any emergency. The army and navy were by no means up to the standard required by the military ex- perts, and the people have but lately realized how largely the country is de- pendent upon foreign countries for food supplies. The latter circumstance is due to the fact that in the last two or three decades farming has diminished, the young people of the rural districts hav- ing passed more and more freely into the industrial work in the cities. Farmers Need More Help. Consequently, it has been increasingly difficult for the farmers to get help, and the situation has made competition with foreign products almost out of the question. For grain, flour and ‘sugar, for instance, Norway has been depend- ent on the imports from the United States, Russia and Germany. The war brought about a great curtailment in these importations, and has impressed the Norwegians that something must de done to make their country more self- supporting. The Conservative and Liberal lefts, in their platforms for the coming elec- tion, have made their chief demands, therefore, for the strengthening of the national defense to the full extent that the country can economically bear, and for an increased duty on imports of grain and flour so that Norwegian farm- ers may be able to regain their lost ground in competition with foreign prod- ucts. Against More Armament. The party that is in power, however, asserts that there is no need of strength- ening the defense of the country at present. Leaders point to the fact that the Government has been able to con- duct the country safely through a situa- tion when everything was ablaze around it. Sc far as the protection of the for- mer is concerned, they propose a guar- antee that the Government pay the farmer a stated price for grain or estab- lish a State monopoly in this particular trade. The National Committee of the party in power has recommended co-operation with the Socialists rather than concede the demand made by the armament ad- vocetes. The Socialists in Norway still adhere to the doctrine that the interna- tional Socialistic fraternity is able to prevent war between nations, and in- stead of inoreasing means of defense, the rarty would have Norway keep no army or navy at all. The Socialists at the last election numbered two-fifths of all the voters. Since then the party has gained considerably, so it is not impos- sible that in combination with non- armament sympathizers they may get control of the next Storthing. Flowers for Jewish New Year.

CORINNE A policeman saw an automobile stand- ing at Eleventh street and Franklin avenue last midnight: Thinking that it might have been abandoned by joy- riders he made a note of the license number on his cuff. Two hours later when the policeman, Dolan, was again patrolling that part of his beat he saw a well-dressed man get into the car and drive away. When he reached ' the orner Dolan observed spots on the sidewalk. He then fol- lk: wed a trail of spots which led him to 1003 North Twelfth street, the home of Frances Winston, a negro.

MEXICAN BANDITS Men Identified by American as Belonging to Band Which Killed 2 U. S. Citizens. By Associated Press. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Sept. 3. -TWo Mexican bandits were caught and killed about 20 miles north of here yesterday. An American who was caught and held a prisoner by the same bandits who killed two Americans last week identified the two Mexicans. This American was asked by the peace officers: . “Do you know these men?” he replied. month ago.“ “When did you last see them?” Last week.“ What were they doing?“ me prisoner.“ The next known of the Mexicans was a report of their death. Army in Command on Border. The United States Army today took the most important step it has yet made in the border complications of the lower Rio Grande Valley, when an order was is- sued here giving to army officers com- mand over the actions of civilians on the river bank in case of shooting across ths international boundary is resumed. Local peace officers heretofore have been permitted to participate in return- ing the fire of the Mexicans from the other side of the river. In some cases, these peace officers have pursued band- its fleeing from the Texas side to the river bank and held battle with them across the international line. Hereafter the army will attempt to handle all situations of whatever sort which arise on the Rio Grande. No Divided Authority. The Carranza autnorities have an- nounced that they can co-operate bet- ter with Americans in suppressing ban- dits if there is no divided authority on the river bank and if they know that they have to deal only with American soldiers. Also, the army officers have no au- thority to make arrests or do police work in the interior away from the riv- er, so that, in tightening their river pa- trols, they believe they are taking con- trol at the only place where they have free power to act; namely, within the immediate range of the international line. It is expected that further important orders will follow and that the army, with 4000 men available in this section, can attempt with some possibility of success to throw out patrols so strong that Mexicans trying to escape from the American border, or those trying to in- vade Texas, will have difficulty in crossing the Rio Grande. No Easy Task for Soldiers. This, however, is no easy task, for in a hundred miles or so, where this pa- trol probably will be tightest, the river with its convolutions offers about 500 miles of densely wooded banks to guard. Sheriffs and other posse officers in this section were notified today of the new military order, taking control dur- ing fighting. Notice was not sent to the rangers because they were not op- erating along the river banks. One company of rangers is working out of Harlingen towards the gulf coast, searching for the bandits who are be- lieved to have been among the slayers of the two Americans near San Benito last week. “Yes,” “They worked for me a Holding 7 Piedras Niegras, Opposite Eagle Pass, Occupied by Carranza Troops. EAGLE PASS, Tex., Sept. 8.— Twelve hundred Carranza troops under Gen Benjamin Garza occupied Piedras Ne- gras, the Mexican town opposite here, yesterday. Villa forces evacuated the place and fled to surrounding hills. A few Mexican refugees crossed to the Texas side. This is the fifth time Piedras Negras has changed hands since 1913 and never has there been a fight. The evacuation left the Villa forces without a port of entry on the lower Texas border. Nuevo Laredo an‘ Matamoros also are under Carranza control. No Deposit Required From residence customers for Union Electric Light & Power Co. Service.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY MAYOR TO ADVISE RANKEN FRANCHISE FOR THE TERMINAL President McChesney Agrees to Deliver Railway Tracks to Free Bridge Approach. Mayor Kiel agreed after a noon- day conference with President Mo- Chesney of the Terminal Association at Union Station yesterday, to rec- ommend in his message to the Board of Aldermen, Sept. 17, that long- standing litigation with the Terminal Association be cleared up by legal- izing tracks on public streets east of the Ranken tract. President McChesney agreed that the railroad would not only deliver the levee tracks of the Transfer Railway, the franchise of which ex- pires in November, but also that he would aceept an ordinance establish- ing a connection between the Termi- nal's tracks in Mill Creek Valley and the main free bridge approach on Gratiot street. The Terminal already hag agreed to deliver the Transfer Railway in consideration of a temporary permit to lay tracks across three of the so- called paper“ streets in the Ran- ken tract, In the conference yester- day at Union. Station, attended by City Counselor Daues, it was agreed that instead of a permit, an alder- manic franchise of 60 years be sub- stituted, and instead of permits is- sued without authority by Mayors Wells and Kreismann for 79 tracks crossing streets east of Compton avenue and north of Mill Creek Val- ley, a similar franchise shall be sub- stituted. City Counselor Daues agreed to continue the test case involving the illegal tracks east of Compton ave- nue, which ig scheduled for trial before the State Supreme Court ‘next month, The case will be held up un- til the Board of Aldermen determines its policy regarding the proposed franchises, The test case is one of pending on appeal from the local police courts, where more than 500 suits were filed against the Terminal in 1908 by Thomas L. Anderson, then City Attorney. The railroad was charged with ob- structing public streets, and many cases tried by juries, called by the railroad’s attorneys, resulted in convictions and fines ranging from $25 to $500, the maxi- mum. Counselor Daues said his inves- tigation of the record shows that only eight of these convictions are pending in the Supreme Court on appeal, and that one case only is scheduled for trial under a stipulation by opposing counsel that each will abide by the decision in this case. After the conference at Union Station yesterday, Mayor Kiel met with Presi- dent Kinsey of the Board of Public Service and Director of Public Utilities Hooke, and arranged with them to have the necessary ordinances prepared for introduction in the Board of Aldermen SCORES OF FAMILIES FLEE F HIGH WATER NEAR AR NEVADA, WO.

O MI DF WASHINGTON ~OBTANS DWOREE Testifies That Wife Did Not Like St. Louis and Left Him Three Years Ago. Otto Heller, professor of the German language and literature in Washing- ton University, obtained a divorce in Judge Wurdeman’s court at Clayton to- day from Margaret Stevenson Heller, whom he married in February, 1893, shortly before he came to St. Louis. He charged her with deserting him three years and a half ago. She is now in Boston. Prof. Heller was asked, first by his lawyer and then by the Judge, if he knew his wife's reason for leaving him The only reason which he suggeste 1 was that Mra. Heller disliked living in St. Louis. We had nothing but the usual quar- rels, he told the Judge, She did not, for one thing, like St. Louis, and was very unhappy here.“ “She was an Eastern girl?“ the Judge asked. Tes, from Boston.“ That is all,“ the Judge said. In answering his lawyer's questions, Prof. Heller said he knew of no just cause’ for his wife’s departure. He said he tried to get her to return to him, and kept up these efforts to the very last.“ This effort, he said, was made by personal letters and through mutual friends. One of these mutual friends, he said, was a Mrs. Bernays. Charles Krauss and Ludwig Kotany, character witnesses for Prof. Heller, said they had seen the Hellers in their home, and that the behavior of each toward the other was above criticism. The testimony took about 12 minutes. Mrs. Heller was not present, nor did anyone represent her. She filed a gen- eral deniel of Prof. Heller's charge last. Saturday, but did not contest the sult. Nothing was said, in the decree, about alimony. SEPARATE SURETY BOND SUITS IN FREDERICK CASE ENJOINED Temporary Order Issued by Judge Arnold on Request of the National Co. Circuit Judge Arnold yesterday issued an order which temporarily enjoins per. sons from further prosecuting sults separately against the National Surety Co. on claims against August H. Fred erick. The surety company was on one of Frederick’s notary public bonds against which suits for a total of $16, - 000 have been brought, alleging that Frederick, who is now serving a sen- tence in the Missouri Penitentiary for forgery, committed a breach of the bond by falsely attesting fraudulent deeds of trust and thereby induced the Claimants to buy such deeds from him The injunction was asked for by the surety company, which offered to pay the full amount of the bond, $5000, into court, and allow the claimants to in- terplead for the fund in a joint action, thus avoiding a multiplicity of suits. The plan was opposed by counsel for John Nollau, who has a claim for $370 against the surety company on Fred- erick’s bond. The attorney argued thar each claimant should be permitted to prosecute a suit separately. Counsel for the surety company con- tended that the interpleader suit. would be more equitable, as the $5000 could be pro rated among the various creditors suing on this bond. He contended that separate procedure might result in a few creditors exhausting the fund. —— — NNBREWERS NAMES; ARRESTED Woman Says She Meant to Show Friends on Birthday That She Had Admirers. Mrs. Fannie Zell’s celebration of her thirty-third birthday, in her flat at 4680A Page boulevard yesterday was marred by the fact that she was arrested be- fore her friends had a chance to see the beautiful flowers which she sent to her- self. Mrs Zell gave the orders for the flow- ers to several floral companies but her friends were not supposed to know that she ordered them. To complete the iliu- sion she had cards attached to the floral tributes to make it appear that they had been sent to her by the “brewery boys,“ William Lemp, Charles Lemp, Eberhard Anheuser, Frank Forster and Edwin Lemp, all officers of large St. Louis breweries. The florists filled the orders without question until one concern received a second order with instructions that a card reading from Charles Lemp'“ be attached to the flowers. The florist called up Lemp’s office and found that no such order had come from there. The police were notified and detectives arrested Mrs. Zell in her flower-laden flat before her birthday guests arrived. She was released on a common law bond to answer any charge that might be brought against her. Mrs. Zell said she had intended to re- turn the potted plans and to pay for the cut flowers later. She admitted the deception to detectives and said she just wanted to “show off.“ so that her friends wouldn't think she lacked ad- mirers. At first Mrs. Zell said sbb knew the men whose names she had put on the flower cards. Later she said she did not know them, but used their names because she had heard of them as be- ing wealthy and generous. Two warrants charging Mrs. Zell with obtaining: goods by false pretenses were issued today. The Bentzen Floral Co. of 3118 North Grand avenue, told the police that last year, on her birthday, Mrs. Zell ordered a $10 potted plant and had it charged to Frank Forster, a brewer. Forster repudiated the will. HARGADINE-M’KITTRICK C0. SUES FORMER OFFICER AND EMPLOYES $50,578.63 Alleged to Be Due to Dry Goods Concern for Purchase of Stock, Suits for $59,578.63 were filed in the Cir- cuit Court today by the Hargadine-Mc- Kittrick Dry Goods Co., against one for- mer officer and four former employes of the firm. The attorney filing the suits said the money is due for the purchase of stock by the defendants, who gave | their notes to insure the payments. George H. Allen, who, the attorney said, was a former officer of the com- pany, is alleged to owe $35,000. The oth- er defendants and the amounts asked are: George E. Meredith, $4500; John H. Verdier, $5232.63; Henry C. Weige, $3945.99, and Peter F. Leilich, $11,000. The attor- ney said some of the defendants made their notes to the company and that oth- ers made their notes to Thomas H. Me- Kittrick, who later assigned them to the firm. The dry goods company has gone out of business, and its assets are in the hands of a liquidating committee. Suit for a receiver is pending in the Federal Court. The company’s financial troubles resulted from its promotion of and in- vestment Bullding. George W.

CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 28.—Unusual im- portance may be attached to the forth- coming elections of members of Partia- ment, for which the different parties have already adopted their platforms. The Storthing, as the entire Norwegian legislative body is called, is elected ev- ery third year, direct by the people, with women now. entitled to vote under the same conditions as men. The elec- tion will take place this fall. In common with a number of other countries, an issue in Norwegian poli- tics this year is the question of national defense. The war crisis a year ago found the country very poorly prepared to meet any emergency. The army and navy were by no means up to the standard required by the military ex- perts, and the people have but lately realized how largely the country is de- pendent upon foreign countries for food supplies. The latter circumstance is due to the fact that in the last two or three decades farming has diminished, the young people of the rural districts hav- ing passed more and more freely into the industrial work in the cities. Farmers Need More Help. Consequently, it has been increasingly difficult for the farmers to get help, and the situation has made competition with foreign products almost out of the question. For grain, flour and sugar, for instance, Norway has been depend- ent on the imports from the United States, Russia and Germany. The war brought about a great curtailment in these importations, and has impressed the Norwegians that something must doe done to make their country more self- supporting. The Conservative and Liberal lefts, in their platforms for the coming elec- tion, have made their chief demands, therefore, for the strengthening of the national defense to the full extent that the country can economically bear, and for an increased duty on imports of grain and flour so that Norwegian farm- ers may be able to regain their lost ground in competition with foreign prod- ucts. Against More Armament. The party that is in power, however, asserts that there is no need of strength- ening the defense of the country at present. Leaders point to the fact that the Government has been able to con- duct the country safely through a situa- tion when everything was ablaze around it. Se far as the protection of the for- mer is concerned, they propose a guar- antee that the Government pay the farmer a stated price for grain or estab- lish a State monopoly in this particular trade. The National Committee of the party in power has recommended co-operation with the Socialists rather than concede the demand made by the armament ad- vocetes. The Socialists in Norway still adhere to the doctrine that the interna- tional Socialistic fraternity is able to prevent war between nations, and in- stead of inoreasing means of defense, the rarty would have Norway keep no army or navy at all. The Socialists at the last election numbered two-fifths of all the voters. Since then the party has gained considerably, so it is not impos- sible that in combination with non- armament sympathizers they may get control of the next Storthing. Flowers for Jewish New Year.

HONOLULU, Sept. 8—Two additional bodies were found yesterday in the en- gine room compartment of the hulk of the wrecked United States submarine F-4 in drydock here. The condition of the bodies was such that identification was impossible. Officials in charge of the investiga- tion as to the cause of disaster said to- day they hoped to have the hull cleared It has not been determined what disposition shall be made of the bodies recovered.

POSTOFFICE REFORMS URGED SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8.—The Reso- tutions Committee of the National Fed- eration of Postoffice Clerks, in conven- tion here, had before it today for con- -sideration resolutions demanding ad- zustment of the overtime system, reor- ganization of the night-work system with shorter hours for night workers; uniform regulations for subservice, ces- sation of discrimination in promotions and reform in dismissal of employes, in- cluding the right of employes to a hear- ing before dismissal. The life of civil service in the Post- office Department is threatened as a result of the treatment of aged em- ployes, according to Secretary-Treasurer Thomas F. Flaherty. He declared the problem of the aged men in the service demanded immediate solution.

They Recovered Posi- Correspondence of the Associated Press. FRANCE, Aug. 18—The British have retaken the mine crater at Hooge, in one ‘of the most picturesque actions seen along the British front for a long time. Hooge is the name of what was once a village in a region as flat as a billiard table. It is in the Ypres sali- ent, where, it is generally agreed, more blood has been spilled than over any similar length of line on the western front with ine exception of Souchez, where the French made their first at- tack in May and June. The blowing up of a mine under the German trench recently made Hooge about the hottest place in the Ypres salient. It was one of the largest mines the British have exploded, and it made a hole in the earth about 40 feet deep and 70 feet across. The British charged and took possession of the position. In reply to the mine, the Germans brought up their flame-ejector appara- tus, which they had tried on the French before, but now used on th> British for the first time. Around the edge of the mine crater the Englishmen and the Germans were, at one place, only five feet apart. The crater was so big and it had so disfigured the land- scape that it was difficult to ‘‘consoli- date“ the position, as the official bulle- tins say particularly when showers of bombs from either side punished any enterprise on the part of the other. Sprayed Front With Fire. On top of a bombardment of all the neighboring parts of the British line where the trenches were farther apart and of bombardment with mortars ani bombs where they were close together the Germans suddenly sprayed the Brit- ish front with fire over a section where their infantry attacked. The British had to give up their crater and Hoogs, too, and some 500 yards of trenches. When they set out to recover the lost ground at first they found the Germans had the line bristing with machine guns. so they regained only one end of what they had lost. The rule in the Ypres salient seems to be never to He down tamely after any setback. Both sides fight to recover a loss no matter what the cost. San- euinary battles are waged for a few acres of ground. All one day the Brit- ish kept ‘an almost continuous roar of shells over other parts of the salient. They made the German trenches boil with dust under clouds of shrapne! smoke. The German guns replied. They tnrew in some more ij7-inch shells into the ruins of Ypres and into other points wnich they had not considered worthy of 17-inch before. Thc thunders of this artillery duel could be heard 90 or .0 miles to the rear. It made a sound Uke the roll of a drum with almost no interval between the shots. Nothing heavier had been heard since Souchez. Major Leaped Over Parapet. About 2 the next morning guns which had been silent before came into action. They were all directed on the German trenches at Hooge, sending tons of high explosives and storms of shrapnel. Then at 415 by all the watches of gunners and infantrymen the guns stopped. The next minute a British major at the head of a battalion line leaped over the para- pet. As he said, he found “nobody at home.” The Germans were in their dug- out, according to the custom on such occasions, taking shelter from the tor- nado of shell-fire, which makes even a look-out hardly possible. Turning the corner of a traverse, the Major fairly bumped into a German who had come out to see why the shelling haa stopped. “You're mine!“ said the Major, put- ting his revolver muzzle to the Ger- man’s breast. He promptly agreed that he was,” as the Major expressed it. The happiness of the officers and men as they told the story of that fight to the correspondent turned on gratitude to their artillery support. It shows what artillery can do,“ sald the Cajonel, “and what the infantry can do when the guns give them that kind of aid. | Their work was perfectly straight out ‘| there in front of the men’s noses, with no shells bursting short, and then they all stopped like an orchestra at the end tof a piece. My only trouble with the men was to hold them back from the puts spirit into the men it is that kind of support. We got four good machine- guns, and I don’t know how. many were destroyed. Germany is one big bat- tery. She does it with artillery and machine guns. Guns against her guns and we shall be all right.“ Artillery Means Life or Death. He kept on speaking of the guns and so did the other Officers and men with met the Germans coming from their dugouts, and it was hand-to-hand when = 4 the Germans did not yield. As soon as they had yielded they were toward the British rear, BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN | front line, If there is anything that the depth of feeling expressive of real-| [ation that the guns meant life and the occupants will not surrender is one of the commonest proceedings in the course of taking a trench. Shake Hands With Germans. Weill give ourselves up.“ said a Ger- man officer, starting up the wall of the crater. ‘You've got us.“ As the Germans came up some of the British shook hands with them, and soon they were marching along a road in the midst of a German shell-fire smoking cigarettes given to them by their captors. Meanwhile, it was stab and thrust, in other places, till Briton or German was down. Rushing up the traverses the British drove the Germans before them with bombs, gaining more ground. In addi- tion to their own bombs, they used the Germans’. “One German prisoner showed me how' to use them,” said a British bomb-thrower. “He did it in- stinctively when he saw I was fumbling with it. That was very helpful of him. You had to pull a string on top before you made the throw. They seemed to be first-rate bombs.“ Once over the demoralization caused by the crush of the bursting shells from the British artillery concentration in their ears, the Germans out of their dugouts began resisting with bombs and the British running short had to Kall back traverse by traverse pursued by the Germans, thus losing some of their gain before more bombs were brought up from the rear. This had to be dene under gusts of shrapnel bullets, for now the German guns were giving tne British supports all they had to give and as fast as they could. The struggle proceeded in the midst of the scream and burst of pro- jectiles. Twice one of the Sergeants crossed the zone back to the support trenches, bringing supplies of bombs be- fore he was killed. Others were at the same work and others killed and wound- ed, but they got enough up to hold 1200 3 of trench. — — oo — — — -+ HAIR 1S: GRAY: YOU LOOK OLD Look Young by Darkening Gray Hair With Q-Ban—No Dye —Harmiless.

Germany Ready te Last Detail. “Long before the war it could be geen what character the hostilities would take on. Personally, I predicted it. The Germans, especially, were very well aware of it, and it is only necessary to think for a moment of the formidable preparations they had made to realize that they could put at the service of their warlike intentions a military ma- chinery ready to its last detail. The work they have done of recent years to renew their artillery and to supply their armies with heavy, long range guns, sufficiently wieldy to be able to follow the movements of their troops, was most significant.

Not a style is commonplace; not a skirt has been in the house more than a few days; only the most exclusive and desirable * Fall models are represented. — 95 810 Beautiful and exclusive mod- els of silk taffeta, chiffon broad- cloth, plaids, poplins, And yet, it ought to have been pretty evident that in this century of scien- tific progress, of machinery to the linit, supplies would play in war a part as iinportant as they play in the economic life of every day. „But the actual experience of war has gone far beyond any foresight for it. The destructive power of the firearms—rifies, machine guns, rapid-fire guns of all calibers—has been so revealed on the field of battle that the combatants have had to renounce completely the system of maneuvering in open country. Every troop which attempts to advance in the open against a well-armed enemy await- ing the attack is doomed fatally to dis- aster; in an instant the fire of machine guns mow down the ranks like a blade of steel mowing down grain; and the volleys of artillery methodically anni- hilate them, letting nothing escape. Rensen for Seeking Protection. “That is the reason for the necessity for seeking protection, as much as may be, against these storms of steel and explosives; it is the reason for the enor- tous development of field fortifications, trenches, underground chambers, re- doubts, concealed shelters, and so on. ane old fortifications of other times, fixed, standing out, marked in advance for the fire of the enemy’s artillery, cannot hold out against the prpjectiles of giant cannon.

Infantry, hoping to take it at a charge, will leave before such an obstacle every man, though they be innumerable—for one ma- chine gun, give it time and sufficient to feed it, will mow down a thousand men as easily as a hundred, and ten thou- sand, if necessary, as easily as a thou- sand. $4.25 But, on the other hand, this thread- like obstacle, dug in the ground, fur- uishes only a very reduced target for artillery fire. To hit it, it is not enough simply to spend projectiles—they have got to be wasted to demolish the terrain under a veritable hell of devastating explosives, under a deluge of shrapnel. Big Demand for Projectiles. „That is why the consumption of mu- nitions, and especially artillery muni- tions, has exceeded anything that was ever conceived in time of peace. And the farther it goes, as the fortifications of the battle fields daily become more complete and more difficult to reach, the use of projectiles must be more widely foreseen. “Moreover, this intensive firing itself wears out the guns, made only to fire some thousands of rounds, and there is, therefore, the necessity of replacing them unceasingly. From this it is easy to see the enormous effort which must be required of the factories to keep on supplying guns and munitions. The group of belligerents who will win this war is that which, thanks to its indus- try, will have been able to push the production of firearms, projectiles and explosives to the highest point and main- tain it there. “I have heard that a German officer, speaking to one of your compatriots, boasted that the troops of the Kaiser would take Calais whenever they willed —by ‘paying the price,’ which he set at 60,000 killed. This boast is silly. Simply spending men will not give results. The Germans can pay our terrible three- inch guns a bloody price of 50,000 or 500, 000 men if they please, without getting anywhere. But the day when, duly pro- visioned for that purpose,. we scatter along their lines the tempests of iron Nothing and fire that we are preparing for them, they will have to abandon their burrows, {and our infantry will occupy the ground is believed—of France and her allies. The advantage which the German heavy artillery had over us can only be tem- porary. The industrial strength of the people leagued together for the defense of right far surpasses that of the ene- mies of humanity; and the freedom of the seas permits us fo profit of the labors of that great America whose sympathies, as we know, go out to the cause of the independence of peoples. “France, in any case, has had, for centuries, the genius of artillery; once more she has given a proof of this in her marvelous three-inch guns, which no German cannon anywhere near ap- proaches in perfection. When she shall have completed her armaments in heavy here. The dedication of the Dr. J. A. Holmes chair of safety in mines was a feature of the exercises. * Flowers for Jewish New Year.

Easy to take Postmaster Selph made a statement to a Post-Dispatch reporter this morn- ing regarding the dismissal from the service, on charges, of Emil Scheuman Jr’ and Carl Freeman, clerks. He said Scheuman and Freeman were dismissed because of their action in bringing about the passage, by the lo- cal branch of the National Association of Postoffice Clerks, of a resolution which spoke impropjerly of official acts of the Rostmaster-General. They were also blamed for newspaper publication of this resolution. Selph said that the news articles printed in the papers about the demo- tion of Frederick Hitman and Gustav Berg, from important pesitions in the office, had no connection with the charges against Scheuman and Free- man. ~ “The Postoffice is a business institu- tion,“ said Selph; “and news relating to it should come from the responsible head of the office. Nevertheless, any employe has a right to make public any grievance which he may have, and this has been done in some cases. I have not charged Scheuman and Freeman, or anyone else, with responsibility for the items printed. about the demotion of Eitman and Berg. Things which were not true have been printed about those cases, but that has nothing to do with the dismissal of Scheuman and Free- man.“ Double Bristle Hairbrushes The rubber cushion Hairbrush that really combs the heirs large size, very penetrating, invigorates the scalp.

Quotes From Resolution. Selph then read extracts from the res- olution which, he said Scheuman and Freeman were active in having passed. This resolution found fault with an cfficial of the Postoffice Department” (meaning the Postmaster - General, Selph says) for taking eatalogues out of third-class mail and putting them in the parcel post class, which, the resolu- tion said, “resulted in a loss of over 54.000, 000.“ The latter statement, Selph said, is untrue. The resolution then went on to say that “If 75 per cent of the Postmasters in the United States were to die tonight, and he (the Postmaster-General) were to fail to appoint their successors,” the service would be affected very little. Selph held that this statement, coming from an organization of postal em- ployes, was unbecoming and insubor- dinate. The resolution also charged “penny economy at the expense of underpaid employes, and disregard of statutory law by the Postoffice Department.” The only local matter to which the resolu- tion referred was the alleged reduction of the number of collection stations, and the displacing of some substitute carriers. Selph said the statements made as to this matter were untrue. Defends Their Dismissal. Tite Postmaster said he established the responsibility of Scheuman and Freeman for the passage of this reso- lution. He said their actions during tho investigation, Freeman denying the charge and Scheuman defying the Post- master to press the charge, made it necessary to remove the men, when oth- erwise they might have been let off with demerit marks. A paragraph purporting to be from the Postoffice Bulletin was printed in a morning paper today. This para- graph, which was apparently an official statement as to the removal of the two men, said they were charged with ‘‘re- sponsibility for the publication of an article” in the same newspaper, criti- cising the Postoffice Department. Selph said, when asked about this pararaph, that if he knew the employe who gave the extract from the Bulletin out for ‘publication, he would prefer charges against him. The Bulletin is a service publication, and its headline states that it is not to be shown to persons not connected with the office. He said that Scheuman and Freeman, by bringing about the passage of the resolution, were responsible also for its publication. The resolution, he said, was one sent out from the headquarters of the or- ganization in Washington. He has been informed that St. Louis was the only place where it was adopted. Selph says he has had no difficulty with the United National Association of Postoffice Clerks, which is the regular“ organ- ization. The National Association of Postoffice Clerks, which passed the res- olution, is a seceding branch of the reg- ular body, he said, and has only a mi- nority of the clerks here in its member- ship—about 10 per cent, he thought.

JURISDICTION OF COURT IN LODGE SUIT QUESTIONED Lawyers for Knights of Honor Argue Federal Tribunal Can't Pass on Receivership. 2 — Judge Trieber of Little Rock and Judge Dyer heard arguments today in the United States District Court on the application of five persons for a receiv- ership for the Knights of Honor, a fra- ternal insurance organization. The greater part of the hearing was taken up with a contention of the attorneys for the lodge, F. H. Bacon and R. P. Williams, that the Federal Court did not have proper jurisdiction. The petitioners are W. A. Dill, James V. Rose, Perry S. H. Gordon, May G. Plant and W. C. Metzger, each of whom has a $1000 claim against the lodge. At- torney Bacon insisted that the plain- tiffs could not add their claims and that therefore they did not represent a necessary $3000 to give this court a right to handle the case. Judge Trieber frequently interrupted him with questions and once said it ‘was his belief that in an equity case a claimant might join with others in the same situation to protect their interests. He was not sure, he said, whether the amount the lodge had set aside to pay its death claims was not in itself enough to give the Federal courts jurisdiction. A report of certified accountants filed recently showed that the lodge had $778,992.85 in liabilities, mostly death claims, and assets of $476,523.94, leaving an apparent deficiency of $802,468.91. The report showed also that the membership was 14,550 in June, 14,297 in July and 11,883 in the first 25 days of August. Attorney Bacon argued that even if the lodge should be found insolvent, it should be permitted to continue in busi- ness without a receivership so long as its members were willing. He present- ed affidavits that persons with deafh claims aggregating $375,000 of a total of $510,000 were in favor of continuing. At the time the application was filed, June 7. officers of the lodge admitted the assets were not sufficient to meet all the death claims, but said a plan was on foot to rehabilitate the order with a double assessment in August and a % per cent increase of the annual assess- ments thereafter. NEGRO ATTACKS AND ROBS NIECE OF A PATROLMAN Miss Artie Nuckles, 17, Seized at Mo- lime Creek Bridge in Baden; Seriously Iniured. Patrolman William Hoyer of the An- gelica Street Police Station elephoned to the Mounted District Station this afternoon that a negro had attacked and robbed his niece, Miss Artie Nuckles, 17 years old, who lives at his home, 8841 Mora lane. Hoyer said the girl was on her way to pay a grocery bill and had a 32 check and 10 cents for carfare: As she was crossing a Moline Creek bridge, near Schwitzer avenue, in Baden, at 11 a. m., the negro seized her from be- hind. Although the girl struggled and cried for assistance, she was unable to free herself. When the negro left her he took the check and the dime. A phy- sician said Miss Nuckles was seriously injured. The mounted police immediately be- gan rounding up all idle negroes that they thought resembled the girl's de- scription of her assailant. Flowers fer Jewish New Year. Mullanphy Forists, 3520 N.

SLAIN MAN A KENTUCKIAN Weapon in Hand When Body Is Found; ‘Blackie’ Never Known” to Look for Work. The police say they have learned that “Blackie” Forrest, 40 years old; a po- lice character, is the man who stabbed to death Edward Hartsook, 38, of Louis- ville, Ky., last night in a yard at 618 Walnut street, in the rear of the Frisco House. An order for his arrest. on a charge of murder, has been issued., The two men fought with knives. For- rest bears marks of the struggle. At the Morgue the body of the slain man was identified this morning by brother, Charles Hartsock, also of Louisville. Forrest, the police say, was never known to seek a job. Until a year ago he lived at the Frisco House. Since then he had been seen much in the neighborhood of Broadway and Wash street. Yesterday afternoon Forrest and Hartsook “canned” beer in the yard behind the saloon of the American Liquor Co., which is in the base- ment of the Frisco House. About 7 p. m. they quarreled. Oscar Lochaw, Who lives at the Frisco House, told the po- lice the men drew their knives and be- gan slashing each other. A half hour later Forrest, with a bai | cut on his left cheek, applied at a Mar- ket street lodging house for a room. On account of his appearance he was re- fused admission. A few minutes later Hartsook was found dead in the yard where the fight had taken place. He had wounds in the abdomen, ieft eye and chest. In his right hand he clutched an open knife. Harry Schultz, who also stops at the Frisco House, said he saw Forrest, after the stabbing, staggering east on Mar- et street below Fourth stret. Schultz asked him about his wound and, accord- ing to Schultz, said a man had cut him and that he got“ his assailant. Charles Hartsook said that he and his brother had been staying at the Frisco House. He said he did not miss his brother until he heard that a man had been killed. Both the Hartsooks had traveled considerable, working ut various times as a carpenter. Charles wept at the morgue when he saw his brother’s body. — St. L. Plume Co., 620 N. Brusdway * * Hemstitching, 10c 8 24-hour service _ CONTINUES POLICE ~-“ TAJUNCTION IN FILM CASE “Birth of Nation” Suit Next Wednesday. Judge Hennings, in Circuit Court this morning, overruled the demurrer filed on behalf of the Police Department against the temporary injunction re- straining the police from interfering with the production of ‘‘The Birth of the Nation,” a motion picture drama at the Olympic Theater. He continued the temporary injunction until next Wednesday, when he will hear the case on its merits. The Judge at the same time sustained a demurrer of Prose- cuting Attorney Sidener and dismissed a temporary injunction restraining him from issiung warrants in the case. Similar attempts to stop the produc- tion of the film have been niade in Bos- ton, Chicago, Atlantic City, Philadel- {phia and Pittsburg, but in every in- stance the courts have refused to per- anit the authorities to interfere. A Phil- adelphia court ruled finally on the mat- ter yesterday and a Pittsburg court did so less than a week ago. The picture has been opposed by negroes on the grounds that it puts them in a bad light and tends to provoke race bitter- ness. “ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY. On Liver, Stomach and Bowels.

A THIRD CUP OF TEA. With curiosity softened by sympathy and tinged with amusement we peruse the announcement from Pekin, that the Chinese Government has “decided tentatively to maintain the form of a republic, instead of restoring a monarchy, but to make the presidency permanent and hereditary.” Rather a familiar ring, hasn’t it? Sounds as though President Yuan Shai Kai was thirsting for a third cup of tea. = = a i DUMBA’S EXTERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. Ambassador Dumba only adds to the gravity of his misdemeanor by, asserting that he was obeying the orders of his Government in activ- ities strange to the sphere of diplomacy. He practically asserts what is known as ex- territorial jurisdiction” over former subjects of Austro-Hungaria domiciled in this country. Few forms of pretension could be more offensive to a civilized Power. “Exterritorial jurisdiction” is a device for the protection of civilized aliens in non-Christian, ill-governed lands. Japan abolished it years ago. To rid themselves of its. humiliating implications was one of the most cherished ambitions of the Young Turks. The only place where it still survives in anything like its former significance is China. To suppose that the United States will show sufferance to foreign presumptions which Turkey and Japan no longer tolerate and undes which even China is restive is an impudence not to be endured. Mr. Dumba’s usefulness is gone. He will always rest under the suspicion of intrigu- ing against the industrial peace and order of Americans. If he does not take one voluntarily, an involuntary departure should be arranged for him. : PLAYING HORSE WITH ILLINoIs. “Little Monte Carlo” announces the trolley con- ductor when the car reached a certain point in the town of Madison, Ill.

Under the Constitution the tax for State purposes, aside from taxes to meet indebtedness, has, since 1892, been strictly limited to 15 cents on each $100 of assessed valua- tion. But in all the territory of Missouri except a few of the larger cities, property is assessed at Thus, in its taxing power, one of the most dis- tinctive attributes of sovereignty, the State of Missouri is tied hand and foot.

Well, they are still at war in the old countries, it seems. It’s a pity. Because the earth could be such a nice place to live if they would quit their foolishness. May we take it upon ourselves to point out to mankind once more that this war is pure fool- other detached viewpoint, the earthly muss wears no other aspect. Indeed, no one on earth itself offers a plausible explanation’ of what it is all about. The diploniats and statesmen don’t know. The crowned heads couldn't begin to tell you. The Generals wouldn’t even attempt to discuss it. The advocates and propagandists of the opposing kulturs and cultures did’nt know the kulturs and cultures existed until after the war began—and they can’t define them now, try as they do. Historians in the aftermath—if ever we get to the aftermath—will be sorely tried to make heads or tails of the “causes,” the morales and mo- tives; and no two of the historians will agree. It will be an imponderable voluminosity of con- tention out-warring the war itself, stamping the ‘age with another folly of incomprehensible grandeur. \ We await with interest the conclusion of the war—if it ever is concluded; for out of such a broil and ruck of misunderstanding no real or ra- tional satisfactions are likely to come, but, on the contrary, an illogical compromise involving every belligerent’s implied admission that it didn’t know what it was about or what at wanted when it began to fight. It appears to be the era of folly, folly supreme, folly enskied and in its apotheosis. The most that „the wisest of us actually knows about it is that it’s an insufferable nuisance on a grand scale. How mortifying to mankind this war may re- trospectively prove if science shall be able even- tually to lay it to a germ! a.

Why shouldn’t the Bradsville company suspend the making of the Ozark King brand of wines and go to making grape juice? Seventy-nine of the ccunties of Missouri are totally “dry.” The arid- ity of 19 more is broken only here and there by the moist oasis of a town of 2500 or more inhab- itants, of which an exception may be made under the local option law. Of the 114 counties but 16 are wet.“ Missouri, like Germany, should aim to render itself as independent as practicable of imports. Domestic supply should be made sufficient.to do- mestic wants. A grape juice production adequate to our enormous grape juice consumption is the correct economic policy. = = > i i A A Careless Momént May, Cost Many Dollars,” reads a new safety-first sign. A little slang in this case would add force, thus: A Careless Mo- ment May Cost Many Bones.“ SELF-DECHIVED KISSERS. Following the kissing of W. J. Bryan at a pro- German peace meeting recently, another kissing episode occurred at the annual convention of the pro-German Friends of Peace at Chicago, on Mon- day last. A Lutheran minister, it is said, em- braced an Episcopalian clergyman and kissed him on both cheeks, while the audience burst into frantic applause. In an interview, published by the Chicago Herald, J. J. Tobias, head of the Chicago branch ot the Friends of Peace, said, among other things: “We are going to raise hell with any party not in our favor. The Teutonic nationalities will mus- ter fully 5,000,000 votes and they will vote sol- idly.” In the same interview Tobias asserted that the society of the Friends of Peace “is absolutely neu- tral,” but made the usual plea for an embargo on munitions of war. Asked if this would bring about peace, he said: I think it would. Both Germany and the allies have received munitions from America since the war began, but Germany now has plenty of everything she needs. The allies are by far the heaviest buyers of munitions in this country. It was a gentleman named Hhud of whom we are told, in the book of Judges, that he came to the Moabitish King Eglon, a very fat man, with a present. But Ehud had tucked away in his cloth- ing a dagger of'a cubit length, sharpened on both edges. And the end of King Eglon was not peace- ful. Mr. Tobias and his friends, according to the interview quoted above, come as peacemakers but don’t conceal the fact that they carry a big club vote. It is to laugh when,Americans, if any were present at the Chicago meeting, frantically ap- plaud kissing as a sign and seal of such manifest folly. 2 THE SQUIRREL HUNTERS OF 1915. The Federal Biological Survey reports that the game hunters in the United States number at least 6,000,000. The figures have a significance extending be- stream out talking about their luck and return l yond the moral on the need for game protection to which they point. Hardly more than a few score of the 5,000,000 are women. The great ma- jority of them are men in the earlier decades of life. If many of them can put on their hunting outfits at only long intervals, they receive at least | some physical benefit from the exercise. A fond- ness for the chase usually indicates a genera) inclination for the outdoor life. And, while ob- servation on some individuals among the 5,000,000 might not suggest it; a large percentage of this huge number ot game hunters are cracking good marksmen. Why worry about nationaldefense? The squir- re! hunters among the fathers of the republic were a Bure reliance in former times of national peril. We have in these 6,000,000 game hunters the ishness?

By Harol UBLIC opinion was not enthusias- — tically in favor of Raphael when he came to live in Bast Kemp. Ra- phael was an Armenian, und his color was that of the lining of a ham sand- wich. Of course his nationality was not so much against him as the fact that he had foreign ways. He had peddled cheap jewelry in the district for several years when he sur- prised everybody by buying the Drew cottage and establishing himself there with his wife and son, a lanky, ham- colored lad of 13. Apparently he had amassed all the money he needed in the peddling line, for he set to work to raise poultry and vegetables, which he sold to Hiram Smith, the grocer. The chief objection to Raphael lay in the fact that he had had the foresight to buy a decent house in a good neigh- borhood just before anyone else snapped it up. The house itself was tiny; it was one of those cheap homes that can be found just before the boom comes, in half-fashionable parts of a town. If Raphael had camped across the river, among the Italians, nobody would have thought anything about it. Raphael blossémed out. His wife wore some brilliant clothing, and, what com- plicated matters, he decided that the Episcopal Church came nearest to the Armenian. The family went there, and of course one can’t be unfriendly to a fellow churchman. But the town knew how tv cold-shoul- der the Raphaels.

Raphaels were rather out of their proper element. Mrs. Daunce forbade her son Harry to go to the Raphaels house. Harry and young Raphael—his father had changed his Oriental name to Wash- ington—had played together a good deal. Harry felt badly about t. But the word had gone forth that the Raphaels were to be ostracized. I can see Raphael now, in Hiram Smith’s store, always with a smile on his pleasant face and a cheery word. He was the kindest-hearted fellow, and most of the men had a good word for Raphael. It was pre-eminently a wom- en’s crusade, inspired by the desire to keep the aliens across the river. Raphael joined the volunteer fire brigade among his other activities. The sight of the fat, bearded man run- ning like a boy to every blaze was a ludicrous one. When they served out brass helmets — donated by Horace Daunce—Raphael was the proudest of the proud. He insisted on shaking hands with Horace, who was a fastidi- cus man and showed his resentment, which was quite thrown away on Raphael. Harry Daunce had been ill with scarlet fever for three weeks when the great fire destroyed the Daunce home. It was supposed to be the work of a discharged watchman, it blazed up so quickly that gasoline must have been poured over the porch where it began. There was no need to sound the fire- bell. The flames lit up all East Kemp, and within five minutes the engines were out and the horses galloping wildly toward the scene. In the front of the crew, his face wild with excitement, was Raphael, in his big brass helmet. He was shouting to the beasts as they gal- loped up the steep hill toward the furious flames that leaped skyward out of the burning roof. Raphael to the Rescue. LL East Kemp followed in the A wake of the fire engine, but a very shert inspection showed that the place was doomed. There was not a flow of waier sufficient to check even a moderate conflagration. . It was just a case of letting the place burn down. The servants had got away, but Mr. end Mrs. Daunce and the boy were trapped in the burning wing. Horace Daunce showed that there was some- thing more than superciliousness in him that night. He caught his wife in his arms and crawled along the coping, leaped a six-foot parapet with her, and crouched among the sparks until they got a rope to him. Above the roar of the flames one could hear Mrs. Daunce’s pitiful screams for Harry. But Horace Daunce knew that he could save only one at a time. The moment he had got his wife to the ground he ran back into the flames. He had got half way through the hall towards the stairs when a falling beam knocked him senseless and one of the men ran in and rescued him. The boy’s white face appeared at an upper window. He was a chip off the old block. He didn’t scream or cry just sat at the window and looked out and waited. Half a dozen men dashed in, but Ra- phael was the first. He vanished in an inferno of smoke and flame, and it seemed an eternity before he was seen at the window beside Harry. Then what a cheer went up! But the ladder had been too short to help even Horace Daunce, 12 feet lower, without a man shinning up and tossing a rope. There was no chance for saving Raphael. He comprehended the situation in- stantly, it seemed, for, after casting a glance about him, he seized the lad in his arms and disappeared within the room again. Only the coiling smoke came out. And suddenly a crash fol- lowed, and the whole floor of that room fell in. The flames shot up above the N 99 End of the Campaign. HEARD a scream behind me, and | there was stout Mrs. Raphael among the crowd. She sad fainted dead ijiaway. I saw then that people the color of ham may have hearts as well as we. We had about given up hope when out of the debris there appeared a figure, the almost nude body of a man, crowned with a huge brass, smoking fireman’s helmet. In his arms, which were smol- dering, he carried a limp body wrapped in a blanket. He staggered out of the [are and smoke, which shot forth angry Jitongues after him, as if infuriated that he had escaped its malice. He stood for an instant gazing vacant- ly about him; then he came staggering down the steps; and so Raphael laid the S:|body of the boy at Horace Daunce’s feet. Inside the blankets was Harry, half as- phyxiated, but absolutely uninjured by iismoke or fire. , Raphael sat down and looked up at us. He presented a spectacle that few of us care to think about. Mrs. Raphael, who had been revived, ran forward, but sud- denly another woman shouldered her away. It was Mrs. Daunce. She took Raphael's burned hand in hers and | kissed it. Dr. Peterson gave a giance at Ra- phael and shrugged his shoulders... We knew what that meant. “I shall never forget,” sobbed Mrs. Daunce. “I shall never forget.“ That was the last time I saw on Ra- phael’s face the smile we used to see ia \j Hiram’s. store.
