HE HAD LONG BEEN GIVEN UP AS LOST IN THE ICE First Word From Him in Year and Half Comes From Baillie Island; Now on Bank’s Land, 400 Miles East of the Northeastern Corner of Alaska By Associated Press. NOME, Alaska, Sept. 17.—Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the Cana- dian explorer, who was believed te have been lost in the Arctic, not only is alive and well, but has discovered a new land in the North and accomplished practically every purpose for which his hazardous. journey was undertaken, according to word brought here by the power schooner Ruby, which arrived yesterday from Herschel Island. Stefansson, with two companions, Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson, tet out from Martin Point, Alaska, March 22, 1914, over the frozen polar ocean to search for supposed new lands in the Beaufort Sea. Capt. S. F. Cottle, master of the Ruby, says that nen is now on Banks Land, an island 400 miles east of the northeast- ern corner of Alaska, outfitting for a continuance of the explora- © tions westward to ascertain the extent of the new land he bas dis- covered southwest of Prince Patrick Island. Stefanason discovered a continuance of the continental shelf several degrees west of Banks Land and even determined its southern limits, but was unable to continue his explorations to the north and west. , Stefansson told Capt. Cottle that after leaving the supporting party on the ice north of Martin Point he and his hardy companion set their faces to the north, but after continuing their journey for 90 days they decided to return to land. They turned back and landed on the mainland at a point near which the power boat Mary Sachs of the Stefansson expedition was wintering. Here the three men outfitted for another three months’ trip. They again went upon the ice, going north and west and discovering the continental shelf. 8 1 Lack of Food Compels Return. to the scarcity of provisions, was compelled to set out on the return journéy to land. The return to shore was accomplished with great difficulty. The men subsisted on the most meager rations, but kept moving Gay after day. The dogs were almost famished. Finally the party arrived at Bank’s Land thoroughly worn out. For seven months they had been on n rations, traveling almost continuously. Stefansson and his companions made their way from Banks Land, which is uninhabited, to Baillie Island, which ds visited by whalers. Oapt. Louis Lang, cruising on his power schooner Polar Bear, found Stefansson and his companions making their way along the southwestern coast of Baillie and. They were in excellent health and spirits, and eager to reach the southern wing of the expedition, that they might obtain supplies and continue ‘their al | explorations. Stefansson had expected to fall in with the Polar Bear just as he He immediately chartered the schooner and with Capt. Lane proceeded ward at once in the hope of making further discoveries while the sea open and free of ice. The season was too far advanced, however, and explorers reluetantly steered for Herschel Island. The Polar Bear was at Herschel Island when the power schooner Ruby, which had been trying for two years to reach Herschel Island, arrived there from Port Clerenca with supplies for the Hudson Bay Co. * a — Purchases Two Vessels. 5 Stefansson spent some time exploring his new find, but at length, owing 5 Immediately upon arriving at Herschel Island, Stefansson, with tre mendous energy, began preparations for continuance of his explorations.

She said the young woman and Dr. Lanphear had been friendly for fou- years. ‘ After taking Miss Byrne to the sta- tion the detectives went to Dr. Lan- phear’s home, where they found the surgeon and Mrs. Pins on a sleeping porch. 15 Dr, Lanphear at first was indignant. but later he admitted that he and Mrs Pins had been livinng under the same roof tor about five years. ! “He Is Mine,” Woman Says. “He is mine, just as much as if we were married,“ said Mrs. Pins. He is the father of my two children.” Dr. Lanphear denied that he knew Miss Bernd or Byrne. At the Geyer avenue flat today Mrs. alter. who said she had been board- ing there about five months, told of Dr. Lanphear's frequent visits there. Mrs. Walter said Miss Bernd knew of Dr. Lanphear’s wife and of Mrs. Pins but had frequently sald: “I don’t care if he has a harem; I love him just the same.“ She said Miss Bernd was about NA years old and first’ met Dr. Lanphear about four years ago when she was in a training school for nurses. She moved to the Geyer avenue flat about five months ago. At the Scanlan avenue home, Mrs. Cora Wilson, a sister of Mrs. Pins, said Dr. Lanphear had lived there about “five years and had supplied money to keep up the house. Mrs. Wilson and her husband also live there, Mrs. Wilson sald Dr. Lanphear never denied that he was the father of Mrs. Fins’ ‘children. Clarence, 6, and Cari, 8.

In the matron’s room today the young woman arrested at the Geyer avenue flat insisted her name was Byrne and not Bernd. She said she met Dr. Lan phear about four years ago at the American Hospital and fell in love with him. “I still love him, and I believe he loves me,“ she said, dut I never expected him to marry me and win never ask him to.

First Definite Tidings From Explorer in Year and a Half OTTAWA, Ontario, Sept. 17.—Firv definite tidings that the wOrid has re- ceived from Vimja' mar Stefansson, the Arctic explore>, for a year and a half were received today by the Naval De- partment, wnich sent him and his com- panions on their perilous trip to the frozen North. The. advices from the explorer were meager, but sufficient to show that he and his companions are safe. r Stefansson's advices came from Nome, Alaska, in the form of a message signed by himself and dispatched from Baillie Islands on Aug. 31. The message fol- lows: “An unavoidable delays threat- ened and the running cost of chartering Polar Bear was high, I purchased her and engaged her on terms similar to Karluk. u- gaged Hoff, engineer of schooner Ruby, to take place of Blue of Alaska. Engaged five extra help- ers for Southern parts who have ample outfit for one year and Po- lar Bear for two years. Pian continue Northern explorations to 145 west and 82 north if north- erly course is secured.” News of Stefansson's determination to proceed with his explorations despite the loss of the Karluk, the chief vessel in his original expedition, was received with gratification by officials here. The Polar Bear engaged by him in place of the Karluk is a well-known and tried Arctic vessel. Supplies for Further Stay. He seems to have gathered supplies for a further stay of two years in the Arctic zone. Baillie Islands, from which Stefanssen’s message is dated, are east of the mouth of the Mackenzie River, towards Banks Land, and lie in latitude 70 north, longitude 127 west. The coasts of Baillie Islands, which ere separated from Cape Bathurst by a narrow channel, are so flat that the few boats that have reached there have beach, No news of, Stefansson and his two companions had been received since their supporting party turned bac« April 7, 1914, from Camp Separation on the north coast of Alaska. At that time he expected to reach Banks Land on the drifting ice, but the strong current from the Mackenzie River and unfavorable winds drove the ice to the westward. This drift, it was hoped by Stefansson's friends, would carry the explorer and his comyanions toward the Siberisa: coast. In this deli! trading schooners and whalers plying the Arctic this summer were asked to keep a sharp lookout for the explorers. Last month vessels ar- rived at Nome after trading along both Alaskan and Siberian shores of the Arctic and reported that no trace of Stefansson had been founc. There still remained the hope that he found refuge on Wrangell Island, where the survivors of the Stefansson ex- ploration ship Karluk sought safety after that vessel was crushed in the ice 18 months ago. This hope was buoyed up by a circumstantial account received at Nome last April to the effect that natives hunting seal last winter near Icy Cape, on the Arctic coast of Alaska, reported that they saw a white man marooned on an ice floe which was drifting in a southWesterly direction to- ward Wrangell Island. This news was brought in Nome by a carrier from Port Barrow. The information didn't give the date on which the natives saw the man, but it is presumed to have been late in January or early in Febru- ary, this year. * With Stefansson Shen he left Martin Point late in March, 1914, were Ole An- derson and Storker Storkerson, men said to be as strong and resourceful as Stefansson himself. They had rifles, a sledge that could be used as a boat, an abundance of food and other sup- plies. The Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine, on four Sundays in June printed the story told by Fred W. Maurer, a sur- vivor, of the loss of the Karluk and the trip of Capt. Bartlett, 20 white men and a group of Eskimos 80 miles over the ice to Wrangel Island. Captain of the Bear Reports on His Search for Stefanasen. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—The last re- port from coast guard ships which searched in Arctic waters for the surviv- ors of the Stefanssen expedition has just been received here from Nome, where it was dispatched on Aug. 23. Capt. Cochran of the coast guard ship Bear reported that he had been at Point Bar- row on July 30, and also had stopped at Cape Prince of Wales on his way to Nome, without finding any trace of news of the explorers. The Bear is now at Unalaska, 800 miles from Nome. It will be impossible for her to go north again before spring, when the ice breaks up in the Bering Straits. — —— ö Karller in the day reporters were told | that Mrs. Pins was not at home. Excluded From Medical Society. Relatione between Dr. Lanpfiear and the St. Louis Medical Society have been strained for several years. He was excluded from the society be- cause it was alleged he had violated “medical ethics.” Recently he threat- ened to sue the society because a St. Louis hospital refused to take his patients on the ground that he did not belong to the society. Dr. Lanphear has been connected with several hospitals in St. Louis. He was one of the founders of the American Hospital at 3447 Pine street, the name of which recently was changed to the German Hospital. Drewes Taking Daily Plusge.

In his statement, Dr. Forgo said that Bryan had already given him the im- pression that if the trip were undertaken Bryan himself will for the love of the cause not only sacrifice his time, but will also pav his own expenses” The statement lauded the former Secre- tary of State, saying that in all Ku- rope, in belligerent or neutral countries, there is no American held in greater es- teém than Mr. Bryan.” 4 Dr. Forsgo said Bryan probably would announce his plans after today’s con- {crence. 4 ALLIES’ FINAN AND BANKERS HOLD SECRET SESSION Negotiations Will Result, It Believed, in Loan Reach- ing $750,000,000. Is MAY COVER MUNITIONS Pro-German Institutions in New York Show Increased Willing- ness to Participate. By Associated Press. r . NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Another secret meeting, the third within three days, was held today between members of the Anglo-French Financial Commission and representatives of big New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and other out of town banking houses who are endeavor- ing to reach an agreement on the pro- posed mammoth credit loan to Grea Britain and France. No further word was /forthooming from the commission than its brief state- ment of last night saying so much had already been accomplished that it was hoped a definite statement could be is- sued telling of the progress made. The proposal, said to have been made by American bankers, that the commis- sion would be given a loan of half the sum originally asked, was widely credit- ed today. The commission let it be known soon after its arrival here that it was seeking a Dillion dollars. Five hundred millions, it is said, have been promised. May Reach 870,000,000. This proposal has not appeared to ba altogether acceptable to the commis- sion and it is believed the sum will be increased by $100,000,000 or possibly to 5750, 000, 000 before negotiations end. What- ever is loaned, it is generally believed, the interest rate will be 6 per cent to the investor and about 56% per cent to the underwriters. Whether the big credit should be used to pay for shipments of war munitions as well as wheat, cotton and other commodities, has been the subject of much discussion among the conferees. It is belleved a much larger loan could be floated if it were understood that the credit would apply only to commodity ship- ments and that munitions would be paid for in some other manner, pos- sibly by gold shipments. Great Britain and France, it is said, opposed this plan, however, and are desiring of having the big credit cover exports of every form. Pro-German Banks More Interested. Increasing willingness on the part of certain so-called pro-German financial institutions here to partici- pate was manifest today. These banking houses, it was said, are pro- German only in sympathy and if in- vited, many would subscribe large sums to a credit loan which would operate toward a continuance of the present prosperity enjoyed by Ameri. can exporters. As on yesterday some of the most prominent bankers of the financial sec- tion were again absent from their desks today and it was assumed they had joined the commission in conference The idea of holding secret meetings was largely due, it was reported, to the number of threatening and insulting letters received by the commission and the hint, dropped by the police, that it would be well not to announce any day’s program in advance. The presence of the commission here and the publicity given their negotia- „ foreign exchange markets. Sterling was up today to $4.70%, more than 2% cents above its level of three weeks ag? and other foreign money values were correspondingly strengthened. Francs were quoted at 5.83c, 2 cents better than the lowest figure touched, and lires reached 6.24, which is 34 cents above the low record. Reichsmarks, too, shared in the gain, touching 827%. Boatman’s President Look In.” Edwards Whitaker, president of the Boatmen’s Bank of St. Louis “looked in“ yesterday at the Bilt- more, where the Anglo-French com- mission is, but he said it wag not be- cause the commission was there. „J haven't seen the commissioners and I shan’t,”’ he said. “There are men in my country who know more about the exchange situation than I do.“ Has opposition to the loan manifest- ed itself in the St. Louls district?’ Whitaker was asked. “Yes, quite a little. It is partisan In part, but mostly, I think, it is due to lack of understanding. When the terms and purposes of the loan can be stated a little missionary work will fix all that.“ Morgan Calls on Rockefeller. Further indication that the bankers of New York think that 1, 000, 000, 000 might prove to be more than they could manage is found in the fact that J. P. Morgan has sought the participation of the Standard Oil interests. Morgan called on John D. Rockefeller Jr. at &% Broadway to lay before him the pro- posal of the allies.

BERLIN UNABLE TO LEARN ABOUT U. S. NEGOTIATIONS Ambassador Gerard Also in the Dark Over De- velopments in the Arabic Case—Contradictory Reuter Dispatches Blamed for Confusion. By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent eof the Post- Dispatch and New York World. BERLIN, Sept. 16, via The Hague, Sept. 17.—Germa@fy is more or less in a state of confusion over the real status of the American-German crisis, and the developments which may have taken place in Washington. All diplomatic conversations and negotiations are tak- ing place wholly in Washington. Am- bassador Gerard appears to be playing no important role at present. Both the embassy and the German Government insist they have no information. Under-Secretary of State Zimmerman declared the Government had received no word from Ambassador Bernstorfft — was anxiously waiting to hear from h Several press dispatches from New York and Washington, as taken: from the London press, were printed yester- day and today. They are most contra dictory. One has it that the question of the Arabic will be referred to The Hague; another contradicts this and a third declares that a diplomatic break is certain. Still another says the Amer ican people are strongly opposed to war with Germany. a With the embassy and the Govern- ment not knowing where they stand, °* follows that the public is even more confused. There is a disposition in the German press to con#ider the chief ob- stacle to reaching an understanding be- tween the two countries to be the Reu- ter and London press dispatches. Count Reventilow’s Complaint. Count Reventlow in the Deutsches Tageszeitung sharply criticises the Wolff Bureau, a German news agency, for spreading Reuter dispatches from America through the German press, openly declaring that he is prevented from taking his former critical atti- tude in the German-American differ ences. Reventlow says that he would none the less have kept his readers in- formed on developments, ‘‘but for the great, and I almost sald unbelievable lack of news communication.”’ The reports of the Associated Press, the United Press, Reuter’s and the Lon- don papers, he continues, ‘contradict one another in such a manner that it ts impossible to get out of them any basis upon which to form any judgment of the situation. “It must be evident that this con- tradictory tangle of news dispatches not only makes it utterly impossible for the public mind of Germany to find its bearings in the American situation, but also is bound to produce complete be wilderment and confusion as to the in- tentions, views and methods of the two Governments and the real status of things.“ Reventlow assails Wolffs for contrib- uting to such bewilderment by distrib- uting Reuter dispatches, and comments : sarcastically on the lack of unhampere4d cable communications and the fact that confidential dispatches between Count von Bernstorff and the Government cannot be sent by wireless. A sécond factor held responsible in large part for the mischief created be. tween. Germany and America is, it is charged, the alleged efforts of Reuters and the London press to play off one country against the other by reason of the position they occupy between Ger- many and America in the matter of communication. Admiral von Truppel Criticised. Yesterday and today there is a veri. table outbreak in a portion of the press which criticises Admiral von Truppel, who broke a lance on behalf of making America’s position clear to the Ger- mans, and contended that there was some justice on America’s side. The Hamburger Fremdenblatt, in a two-column leader on the first page, makes a bitter attack on the Reuter news agency, charging it with distort- ing and falsifying American news. It declares: “The infamous work of Reuter is nothing but the outflow of the feverisn efforts of the London Foreign Office to cover the .uncertainty of its political situation, and is therefore conceivably the strongest evidence of the weakness of the situation in which Engand and her allies find themselves. | We should brush aside Reuter’s fingera, which stick themselves between our hand and the hand from the other side. Then would the future peace and advantageous understanding not be far off.’’ German Press Looks With Faver on Negotiations in Washington. By Associated Press. 8 BERLIN, via London, Sept. 17.—Re- ports received here that President Wil- son will make no formal reply to the German Government's communication concerning the sinking of the steamship Arabic but will confer confidentially with Ambassador von Bernstorff, are acclaimed by Germania as a “new in- dication of the good will of the Ameri- can Government and its intent to come to an understanding with us.“ Previous diplomatic interchanges, says Germania, have been made under disad- vantageous conditions, because protests to Berlin have been reported in advance in British dispatches. We believe friendly mouth to mouth negotiations’ will serve the purpose de- sired by both sides far better than the earlier inter changes, this newspaper adds. Negotiations a Basis for Hope. The National Zeitung, commenting on the conflicting reports from Washing- ton concerning the Arabic case and its reference to the Hague, says it under- — — f submarine commanders, could not ap- ply to the Arabic case, and continues: “The torpedoing of the Arabic was by no means a denial of the assurances which Count Bernstorff gave at Wash- ington and which were accepted in America with such lively approval as to portray in the happiest light the de- sire of the vast majority of Americans to maintain peace between the United States and Germany. There can be talk of any ‘broken word’ on the . Germany or of any attempt to free self from her promise. “The crisis appears to have again. President Wilson has not himself to be stirred from his calm titude, and the fact that negotiations are under way at Washington admits of the conclusion that he is willinng to seek that peaceable understanding wits Germany which is so feared in London and Paris. Would Be Diplomatic Victory. “A friendly settlement of the dispute would be an important victory for both the American and German Government. If the negotiations lead to a favorable outcome, Berlin and Washington will hope for results that can not now be estimated.“ f The Cologne Gazette says: “This in- tention to discuss the matter confiden- tially is to be greeted as a genuinely earnest step on the part of America. No great difficulties should stand in the way of a peaceful settlement once the negotiations with the German Govern- ment are withdrawn from the sphere of influence of the antagonistic British and American press and conducted on the basis of pure fact.

The result of our efforts in this line is that at least 75 per cent of the automobile drivers on the road are now }whowing proper consideration for the driver coming in the opposite direction and for pedestrians. Dimming of Lights. “I have observed that nearly all automobile drivers, upon seeing a car approaching from the opposite direction, immediately dim their lights. I know from my own experi- ence that as soon as I dim my own lights, the driver approaching me immediately does the same. This is now regarded as proper courtesy be- tween automobilists. This practice enables automobiles to pass each other in safety, and as soon as they have passed each other the drivers switch on their bright headlights again, until they meet another ma- chine. But by proper adjustments of lights, which the city will make at its new testing station at the city hall, no dimmers will be needed, and the shaft of light will be be thrown upon the road, and will not blind or bewilder either pedestrian or auto- mobilist. But it should be remembered that driving a car without lights or with insufficient lights, is as dangerous as the glaring headlights. All drivers should be required to have their cars properly lighted at night. “It will take time to educate the peopel of St. Louis in automobile traffic matters. In the Eastern cities, where automobiles have been largely used for many years, one finds that the signals of traffic policemen are strictly obeyed, and that pedestrians are not crossing the streets in the middle of the blocks, cutting corners, or discussing their business affairs in the streets. , Stopping in Streets. ‘In St. Louis it appears that about nine-tenths of the people stop right in the middle of the streets to transact business. It is no uncommon thing to see persons Walking across the streets reading letters or newspapers and pay- ing no attention to vehicles or the sig- nals. “The Police Department should me- vent pedestrians from cuttong corners and crossing the streets except at the corners. In the business district the police and street departments are trying to prevent the cutting of corners and the crossing of streets except at corners by marking off lanes at all crossings for pedestrians. Plainly visible white lines are painted on the vavements at all crossings, but pedestrians pay little at- tention to them. There ure some apleodiers, of course, who pay no attention to traffic laws,” Flesh continued. “The accident in front of the Planters Hotel Wednes- day, in which William .Mockler was killed, was, if my information is cor- rect, due to the violation of traffiz ordinances by the driver of the car. “He was driving on the wrong side of the street, and probably too fast. Every driver ought to have his car under contro] at all times, so that he can stop within a few feet. Many driv- ers are inclined to get careless, after they have driven their cars for a while. Children Playing in Streets. “Children playing in the streets are unother source of danger. It is against the law for them to play in the streets, but the law is not enforced. Many of them are in the streets on roller skates, on other devices and they hang on de- hind automobiles or vehicles, endanrer- Ii thelr own lives. ‘ dents to children resylt from this sort cf thing. These pictures are being shown in some of the movie houses and think they will have a good educa- tional influence. “The longer I drive my car the more careful I become. But careful as I am it lg almost impossible, at times, to pre- vent accidents. Some time ago I was driving up Pine street, very slowly, When a messenger boy darted out of the alley between Broadway and Sixth street and ran right into my car. If I bed been moving at any speed, he would have been hurt, and probably killed if he had run in front of the machine. “The ‘joy rider’ is the cause of most of the troyble. There is not so much joy riding now as there was 18 months ago. If the patrolmen, wherever they are on duty, would make arrests for violation of traffic laws, and help the traffic policemen, it would aid in the prevention of accidents. More Members Needed. “The Automobile Club is doing a great deal of work along the line of prevent- ing accidents, and we ought to have at least 7000 members ofit of the 17,000 au- tomobile owners in and around St. Louis, We have only 2700 members, which, t my mind, shows a lack of ap- preciation of our efforts on the part of automobile owners. “There is no law requiring the licens- ing of automobile owners who drive their own cars. But the law does pro- hibit boys under 16 years of age from operating cars, and there is a heavy penalty for on intoxicated man driving an automobile.’ Flesh does not take the view that the licensing of owners to drive their own cars is necessary. “The automobile drivers and the pub- lic ought to be educated to co-op- ‘erate for the prevention of accidents,"’ Flesh continued. St. Louis QWoes not move very rapidly in matters of this kind, and we feel that the press would do a great public service if it would educate the people up to the idea of strict obedience to traffic regulations. Then there would be but few accidents.” Washington Navy Yard Commandant. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. — Capt.

NATIONAL BISCUIT CHICAGO BROKE UP SON RING WHICH MADE WALLIONS Fifty Per Cent of Fires in City Prior to 1913 Were of In- cendiary Origin. RISK FIRMS INVOLVED Grand Jury Recommended Clearing House to Which Poli- cies Could Be Reported. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—The arson pro- motion arrests in St. Louis reveal a sit+ uation similareto that which existed in Chicago two years ago when Chicago's “arson trust“ was broken up after con- ditions in the city became a public scandal. Merchants, crooked fire insur ance adjusters, and “torch bearers” were the principal figures in an organ- ized business which netted its conspir- ators millions of dollars in New York, Chicago and other cities, For five or six years preveding 1912 in cendiary fires put $1,000,000 or more into the pockets of Chicagoans. Finally, in 1912 and the following year, the city and State authorities took drastic steps. In April, 1913, 60 persons were indicted— many of them being used as witnesses— and the ringleaders were convicted and sentenced to prison. Prior to that time 50 per cent of the fires in the city were of incendiary origin. The figures for the first 11 months of 1912 are: Suspected cases of arson investi- gated Number persons examined Number of arrests Number held to grand jury Number of convictions The figures for 1911 are: Suspected cases investigated Number persons examined Number arrests Number held to grand jury Number convicted Incendiary Furnished Evidence. A reformed incendiary turned State's evidence and revealed to the State’s attorney the details of the trust's oper- ations. The commissions paid to the “trust” are said to have been 20 per cent of insurance on small buildings fired by the trust“ agents and graded percentages less than 20 per cent on buildings carrying heavy insurance. That several fire insurance company of- ficials had knowledge of the operations of the incendiaries and their adjuster accomplices was shown. It was report- ed that these companies were protected from insuring incendiary plants, but en- couraged the crime through the profit they would gain in the increased rates without the corresponding increases in losses which the ligitimate companies had to stand. It was shown that the dishonest inde- pendent fire insurance adjuster gained his profit whether the fire was acci- dental, whether the person insured set the fire, whether the fire was started by a professional incendiary, or wheth- er the adjuster caused the fire to be set without the knowledge of the insured. It also was brought out that the an- nual loss—at least a few years ago—by fire in the United States was eight times is much per Capita as that of the whole of Western Europe. At least one-half and probably two-thirds of the fires in America are either actively or passively criminal, it was shown. Revenge, pyro- mania, malice and to see the engines go are minor motives, but the over- whelming majority are “for insurance.“ Fire Losses Precede Panic. Among the facts brought out by the examination of many witnesses is that for two or three years preceding a panic fire losses increase at an alarming rate. The ‘‘Arson Trust,“ according to one informant, had a neat by- product“ profit in commissions paid by furniture dealers of whom furniture was pur- chased .to be burned in flats after the contents had been insured far in excess of their actual value. The grand jury, which returned the indictments in the arson cases, rec- ommended the establishment of a central bureau or clearing house by the voluntary co-operation of in- surance companies, to which all the policies written by the companies would be reported. From this bu- reau a company could obtain accurate information as to the amount of in- surance an applicant might already have taken out and thus be in posi- tion to decide intelligently whether it would be advisable to ue further insurance. It also was suggested by the grand jury that companies adopt a strong, vigorous policy of fighting every loss they are convinced is crooked. „„ 6 „% „% % % % „% „% eee „%%%“ 4 * — ee — — — — — — — oe — an Uneeda Biscuit —the best known and most popular article of food. hy?

Next Year. Mayor Kiel, talking today to a Post- Dispatch reporter, indicated that he would not reappoint Harry G. Clymer, a member of the Efficency Board, whose term expired Sept. 4, but would continue him in ofnce without reappointmegt un- til next September, when Chairman Rogers’ term expires. The Mayor already has announced that, because of his dissatisfaction with Rogers’ policies, he will not be reap- pointed. By failing to appoint a succes- sor to Clymer until Rogers’ term ex- pires, the Mayor will have two vacan- cles to fill at one time and will be in a position absolutely to control the board by the appointments he will make at that time. . The board, ‘under Chairman Rogers’ Cirection, has been tne target of attack and abuse by the Republican city or- ganization and by Republican politi- cians generally. Mayor Tells cf Break. The Mayor said that he and Rogers narted company when Rogers refused to except from the efficiency examina- on the head of the free egal Aid Bu- reau, and unskilled laborers, who num- ber more than 3000. Mayor Kiel said he was firmly for the efficiency system, but thought that Rog- ers had overplayed it. Rogers, when told of the Mayor's statement, said: I would rather serve two years, carrying out the efficiency provisions of the charter, than have the job for 10 years and be required to carry out the dictates of politicians. „J didn’t seek the appointment. It was tendered to me by Mayor Kiel, and I accepted it after 24 hours’ delib- eration on the condition that I should be permitted to observe the letter and spirit of the charter as toe the conduct of the Efficiency Board. Mayor Kiel agreed to this. I shall continue to fol- low the charter and nothing else 80 long as I continue in this office.“ The third member of the Board is Patrick F. Cook, a Democrat, who has been in entire sympathy with Chairman Rogers in the latter's attitude toward politicians. Clymer at times has seemed to differ with Rogers, but the differ- ences have not reached an open break. As a general rule, the orders of the board have been by unanimous vote. Report Covers 7 Months. The report of the Efficiency Board covers only the seven-month period from its establishment, Sept. 1, 1914, to the end of the fiscal year, April 12, 1915. In that period only two ex- aminations were conducted, and 1062 lemporary appointments were made. The expenditures were $9638.33. Since April the Board has. conduct- ed 25 examinations and more than 250 permanent appointments have been made fro mthe eligible lists thus created. The appropriation for ex- penses this year is $28,385. The Board members receive $3000 a year, a sece retary $250, a chief examiner $2500, and an assistant examiner $1800.

While no definite facts have been learned to show that any individual is in danger, the police are disposed to zive any protection that may be desired. The mysterious murder of Sam Mintz, last December, is now believed by the police to have been the result of a quarrel between him and other profes- sional incendiaries. An attempt to con- nect some of the torch“ suspects, now under bond, with this murder, has not succeeded thus far, It was expected that Wright would testify that he quit his partnership with Gilmore because the latter suggested that they “burn out.” John J. Holt, who was secretary of the Wright-Gil- more Co., which later became the Gil. more-Bonfig Co., and who is to be a witness, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he would testify that Gilmore made such a suggestion in his hearing. WI. bam G. Rayson, a former employe of the firm, will testify that Gilmore of- fered him a partnership, and said that if business was not good, they could “go up in smoke.“ H. M.

Brown in a shoe manufac- turing business in which he always ‘pened the daily directors’ meeting with a prayer, has caused a serious social and business breach between his chil- dren, who are now in a court fight over the administration of hig estate. Alanson C. Brown, his son, who came into possession of the presidency of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., from which the Brown wealth was derived, in a statement to a reporten said that the entire trouble was used by William D. Collins, of 6165 Kingsbury boulevard, husband of Mrs. Jane Collins, Brown’s sister, who yesterday filed suit to have brown removed as a trustee under their father’s will. Brown referred to Col- lins as an outsider.” Collins, in discussing the suit today, said there were differences of opinion and that when such differences arose, the courts seemed to be the only place to settle them. We speak when we meet, er we did speak, Collins said, referring to his wife’s allegation that her brother's busi- ness conduct had resulted in a most seri- ous social breach between the heirs. 1 haven't seen Mr. Brown for some little time, and, of course, now that the suit is filed, I don’t know just what the relations are.“ Brown Not at Office. Brown was not at his office in the morning when a Post-Dispatch reporter called. It was said he might not be in during the day. The filing of the sult caused consid- erable comment in business and -social circles, in which the Brown family has been prominent many years. The success of the elder Brown in the shoe business made him a power in commercial circles. He was a member of the Third Baptist Church and car- ried his religion into his business. One of the features of daily routine of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., was the prayer which opened all meetings of the directors and executive officers of the firm. He frequently quoted from the Bible in his business letters to his traveling salesmen. After his death in San Antonio, Tex., in March, 1913, it was found that his estate was valued at more than $8,000,- (00. His will made his widow and the St. Louls Union Trust Co., trustees of a share of the estate left for Mrs. Brown and their three daughters. After the death of Mrs. Brown her son became a trustee in her place.

It is his entire trustee- ship which is attacked in the suit filed by his sister. The charge is made in the petition that he has so managed the property that shares of stock were voted by him for himself as a Hamilton-Brown d- regtor and for other directors who were directly dependent on him for employ- ment, and in this manner has secured the presidency of the company. He also} is charged with assuming a position of antagonism toward the estate, in con- flict with the interest of the estate. The present family relations are de- acribed by the petition as “unfriendly, and in the highest degree strained, so as to prevent friendly communication be- tween them.’ “As a matter of fact.“ the petition states, the relations between the de- fendant and the plaintiff, and one of the other beneficiaries have become so impaired that no business or social in- tercourse was had between them. The petition asks that Brown be re- moved as trustee and that another trustee be appointed to the vacancy caused by the death of his mother.

PARIS, Sept. M. A dispatch to. the Balkan Agency from Bucharest says that the leaders of all the opposition parties in Bulgaria have held a mee ing at which it was dete ed to pub- lish a statement to the country explain- ing the international political situation as affecting that nation and pointing out that in the present circamst&nces the attitude taken by the Government is perilous. The Bulgarian Government's decision to make terms with Turkey has met with considerable opposition. Recent | advices from Bucharest represented a majority of the Bulgarian statesmen as favoring a rapprochement with the quadruple entente, Servia and Greece. Views of servian Premier. „Dervia has done her duty fully as an ally,” said Premier Pachitch of Servia, as quoted by the correspondent at Nish of the Petit Parisien. First she has soundly beaten the Austrians in the field. Second, she has made the con- cessions asked of her by her great al- lies in order to bring Bulgaria into the Balkan entente. Whether Bulgaria will come into the entente is another question. “The Balkan states are deeply con- cerned over the reported concentration of the enemy north of Servia for the purpose of going to the assistance of the Turks. As a matter of fact, no army of the enemy has assembled on the Danube. We have continuous and Getailed reports from French aviators on this point. Servian Army Reorganized. “The Servian army has been reorgan- ized and is well supplied with muhi- tions. It would render most difficult for the enemy a crossing of the moun- tainous country. He would require at least 450,000 men to make the attempt. Where would the Germans find them now?“ A further large number of troops has been called to the Greek colors, accord - ing to a report from the Balkan agency’s Athens correspondent. says a royal decree has been issued calling out reservists of the classes of 1886, 1887 and 1888 on Oct. 1.

INDICTMENT FOR PRIVATE BANKER IN JEFFERSON COUNTY R. B. Munroe of De Soto Accused of Accepting Deposits for Insolvent Institution. DE SOTO, Mo., Sept. 17.—The grand jury’s investigation into the affairs of the Jefferson County Bank here resulted yesterday in the returning of an indict- ment at Hillsboro, the county seat. against R. B. Munroe, assistant cashier. He is charged, in five counts, with ac- cépting deposits when he knew the bank to be insolvent. Munroe’s father, O. M. Munroe, cash - ier and chief owner of the bank, die last April, and the bank closed its doors soon afterward. The son had been in charge of the bank’s affairs for nearly a year, during his father’s illness. After the elder Munroe’s death, the bank was closed. It was a private institution. The younger Munroe insisted that the bank's assets were far in excess of its liabilities, and an inventory bore him out, as to the face value of assets, but it also showed that a large part of the assets was worth much less than face value. Deposits About $120,000. The bank’s deposits were about $120,- 000. Those who charge that their de- posits were accepted after the bank had become insolvent, in the period fol- lowing March 2 last, are Mrs Ph.ilip Blank, $400: Mrs. Ed Meroer, $2045; Ger- trude Hohenthal, $600; Miss Kate Miner, $82; Sol H. Hohenthal, $114.85. Munroe went,to Hillsboro yesterday, on hearing of the indictment, and gave — bond in the sum of $5000. The bond was signéd by Adrian Steel, attorney; R. B. Jones, cashier of the People’s Bank of De Soto; W. J. Knorpp, merchant; W. ajiJ.

Ha is a relativé of Mrs. Munroe, the bank- er’s widow. * After the banker’s death, State Bank Commissioner Mitchell started from Jef- ferson City to De Soto; to take charge o? the bank, but after an interview with Hornsby in St. Louis decided not] = to take such action at that time. The Jefferson County Bank was said, at that time, to be one of 2 private banks remaining in the State, a survival of the former code of banking laws. Un- der the present laws, private banks, with their assets bound up with the estate of an individual, cannot be chartered. PRO-GERMAN PAPER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The General Motors Co., which has done a large war business in automobiles trucks, whose stock has been second only to that of Bethlehem Steel in the epeculation:in the war share’, has de- clared a cash dividend of 50 per cent, being $50 per share on the common stock. The dividend was not announced until last night, following a meeting of di- rectors and leading stockholders, who had been in session at the Hotel Belmont since 2 o'clock in the afternoon. In expectation of favorable action, at the meeting, the stock sold at 266 in the late trading on the Stock Exchange, though never before had a dividend been paid on the common stock. It sold at 87% just before the outbreak of the war. The dividend is the largest declared on any of the war shares, and is be- lieved to be the largest initial cash divi- [dend ever declared on a stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The annual report which was present- ed and discussed before the declaration of the dividend showed net profits ot $14,926,000 for the year ended July 31 last, as compared with $7,947,000 in the pre- vious year. After the payment of interest and dividends on the 7 per cent preferred stock, there were left in undivided prof- its $13,409,000, against $6,201,000 at the end of the previous year.

LOUIS COUNTY FAIR Cane Presented to Oldest Men on Grounds—Racing in Progress This Afternoon. “Old Settlers’ day“ was observed to- day at the sixteenth annual St. Louis County Fair at Upped Creve Coeur Lake, where a three-day exhibition was opened yesterday. A goid-headed cane was presented to the oldest man on the grounds. Judge William D. Pfeister of Olive street road, president of the Old Set- tlers’ Association, has active charge of the entertainment features. The racing program was started this afternoon, with a number of county horses entered in the 2:25 and 3:00 paces. August A. Busch Jr. entered in several races, and also handled a six-mule team in the pace makers. Henry Heinemann, treasurer of the fair, supervised the contests. Former attendants say that the exhi- bition of.orchard, garden and farm prod- ucts is the best in the history of the fair. Young girls act as guides in the fine arts, textile fabrics, and manufac- tures exhibits. Heinemann has exhibited several specimens of inc ore discovered on a farm near Chesterfield. It is said that assays show the ore to be fine quality. Shuttle trains are operated by the Missouri Pacific from the Union Statien te the grounds.

Am investigator, whose report is said to be in the possession of the British Consulate of this city and the United States secret service, is quoted by the American as having made the follow- ing statements to a reporter yesterday concerning Capt. Gray: Nearly a year ago British agents - discovered in New York a Capt. Newen- nam A. Gray, who asserted he had been a British officer in India.

The whole order was for 500,000 rifles.’’ ; Later he is said to have told that the company that was handling the order was the Hopkins-Allen Co. of Boston. Capt. Gray’s alleged connection with Krupps is said to have been unearthed by investigators who visited the various ammunition brokers in New York with whom the Captain had had dealings. Before the war, it was discovered, it is declared that Capt. Gray had boasted of his connection with the great Ger- man artillery house. From one prom inent Wall street financier, of whom Capt. Gray had sought employment, the following statement was obtained yes- terday by a reporter: Has a German Accent. “I never could believe Gray was an Englishman. He may have a British flag hung up in his room at the Army and Navy Club, but his German accent and German manner of constructing sentences always struck me as strange.“ The sketch of his life which Capt. Gray gave this financier makes no mention of Woolwich. It was prepared July 10, 1914, before the European war, and tells of many years of activity in Mexico. At one time, the Captain says, he was an artillery expert for Huerta, and represented both German and French ordnance firms in negotiating for the sale of war supplies. Capt. Gray was interviewed by a re porter in Room 801, 11 Broadway. He was busily drawing the cross-section cf a 12-inch shrapnel shell. A messenger boy Was just departing with another roll of drawings. The Captain said: “I am not a German spy. It is a lie. I don’t see why I should be bothered I am simply trying to earn my living. I am only a consulting engineer.“ “The British authorities say you are not a British Captain,” said the report- er. “They say they cannot find your name on the rolls of the British army in India.“ “That may be because I dropped one- half my name when I left India. My old name was hyphenated. I dropped the last half. Designs a Hand Grenade. But let me tell you this: I am sim- ply working for Americans or anybody else who wants to make war supplies for the allies. They come to me to make the drawings. I understand the work well.

Tou see how I have drawn the cross- section of the hand grenade. Here is the fuse. Here is where the explosive is placed. “It is alsom part of my work to fig- ure out just how much powder is need- ed in all these various kinds of ord- nance. I figure it out to the grain.“ What was the cause of those pre- mature explosions of fuses recently which caused such loss of life among the British?” asked the reporter. The Captain did not answer, but continued: “T want nothing said about myself. Some people will think I am a German spy. They will not understand. I tell you I am an Englishman and can prove It.“ ; The British consulate issued this state- ment: “The British army rolis do not contain the name of Capt. Newenham A Gray.

Since our announcement of this plan in recent issues of the daily papers hundreds of housewives have availed themselves of the opportunity it gives to share liberally and actually in the profit on every purchase of Belle Springs Butter they make. Now you have an additional reason for buying Belle Springs Butter. You have first of all, of course, the basic reason of quality. It is the quality of this superfine butter that brought our sales to such a volume that we can afford to share our profits with each and every purchaser of this superb butter. Here is where you are rewarded for being a quality buyer. The actual cash saving you now make on every purchase of Belle Springs Butter is sufficiently large to offset the necessity of buying an inferior brand on account of price. One Cent On Every pound 14 Cent On Every 14 Pound Hereafter, one side of every pound carton of Belle Springs Butter represents a coupon good for one cent; and on the pa pe of the quarter pound package is printed a coupon good for one-quarter cent. You can exchange these coupons at your grocer’s either for cash or merchandise. No worth- less or useless premiums will be given. You can get real money for your coupons or you can buy groceries with them. If you go to your grocer with any number of these coupons, say 5 for instance, he will give you a nickel for them or he will give you 5c worth of goods for them. They are just the same as actual cash money to him—and for you.

Te the Bditer of the Post-Dispatch. ‘Noting in your issue of yesterday the state- ments of one or two tornado insurance agents enent the recent hurricane damage, we will say that they are in harmony with all the rest of the agents for this class of insurance. „ lt the Supreme Court of New York or Missouri made rulings such as stated it myst have been in feolated cases. Such a ruling would not hold good for the recent trouble in St. Louls. To say that practically every brick house in St. Louis has defective walls is silly. This includes the in- surance agents’ own walls and we don't think they will admit this. The worst damage was done on hew houses, the brick laid by the best brick- layers in the city and the new mortar remaining intact thereafter, proving conclusively that the rain. was driven through the walis by the peculiar Wind associated with tornadoes and hurricanes. The people of St. Louis are waking up to the fuct that they have been visited by a catastrophe second only to the tornado of 1896. While the largest damages were shown immediately after the hurricane a great many walls are only begin- ning to show the damage and this applies to nearly every brick house in the city. Whether the damage will stop with nasty stains to wall paper and mold in plaster that can afterwards be geraped is a question. It is very probable that a large part of the plastering will rot and fall out later. Whole fronts of houses have been stained white with washed-out mortar and will have to be peinted. If this isn’t an actual damage to walls by the direct force of the wind we might just as ‘well tear up our tornado policies and give these agents the cold shoulder in future. What is the theory of tornado policies? It is protection against damage caused by extreme storms. Do we have to have a chimney blown down or a hole blown in our wall? How often Joes a storm blow a hole in a wall? If we waited Yer this it would be too much velvet“ for the aforesaid agents. here ie a grand opportunity for some fighting lawyer new, with brains, to bring to a focus the complaints of thousands of St. Louls property ners who are waiting for a leader to bring these tornado insurance people to the bar of equity and out from behind their wall of tech- = .

The German Government has driven us to the verge of war, the issue still being in the balance, on account of Germany's un- friendly conduct. Germany has gone beyond repeated offenses on the seas; she has fomented strife and conspiracy within our own borders and has tried to con- trol our politics. The question of making the French-British loan is solely one of interest. The paramount consideration is American welfare. Is it a safe loan? Is it advantageous from the standpoint of trade? Would it contribute to American pros- perity ? The essential consideration with American financiers in determining the question of ad- ‘vantage in negotiating the loan is credit for American purchases. It will establish a credit fund for the purchase of American commodities without flooding the country with gold. It is a matter of business. Instead of paying cash, France and England ask credit backed by na- tional guarantees. The loan insures the purchase of American products without disturbing money balances. Now who is the more patriotic—the bankers who are arranging the loan to insure the con- tinuation of profitable American trade abroad and the stability of finances, or Dr. Hexamer, who urges the withdrawal of money from the banks and the menace of a panic to prevent the loan and the realization of its benefits, in order that Germany may profit? What sort of patriot- lam is it to which he appeals—patriotism that would sacrifice American welfare to German interest? Did he appeal to American patriotism to stop the German loan as a conspiracy to thrust us into war as an ally of Germany? = = Spades are aoe in | the Duropean war game. ‘‘SAPETY FIRST.’’ Gommenting on the appalling record of auto accidents, Chief Young was right in saying that more care is needed on the part of both drivers and pedestrians. Accidents are due to the. reck- lessness of auto drivers and the carelessness of pedestrians and drivers of horse vehicles. Proof of recklessness on the part of auto driv- ers should be followed by punishment. This will help, but the permanent remedy is regulation and care. Rules for the regulation of traffic, foot and wheel, are the best preventives of accidents. These rales should be voluntarily obeyed as a safe- guard against traffic congestion and accidents, but until the public learns to obey they must be enforced. Regulation wf traffic and obedience to sound precautions are requisite to safety. They are the penalties of city growth. “Safety first” is the slogan. +e „ It devolves upon Britain to show that the Un- terseeboote are not in the swim.

If a man cannot afford to live and has not the price to die what under heaven is he to do? THE AMERICAN DOLLAR. In the war and our growing foreign trade the Federal Reserve Board sees the opportunity of the American dollar. It is hoped that the Ameri- can dollar may be set up as the universal unit and measure of exchange. Beloved as It ia by all the nations of the earth, the American dollar in its apotheosis, sole em- blem of value, shining symbol of all earthly wealth, will be more than ever beautiful to con- template and dear to the hearts of mankind. The dollar has not always been an exclusively American institution. Before we cornered it, so to speak, the dollar was current in many Buro- pean countries. The word itself is a modified form of thaler, Whieh with other forms such as Galer; dalar, daalder and tallero, were shortened, it is believed, from Joachimsthaler. The latter, a coin from thé silver mines of Joachimthal, cir- culated in Germany in the fourteenth: century—a ptribute by the way to early German Kultur. This coin was the unit of the German monetary union from 1857 to 1878. To this Joachimsthaler the | Finglish word dollar was first applied. The Span- ish piece of eight or real was also commonly re- ferred to as a dollar. It is related that when the Rank of England suspended payment in 1797, and coin was starce, a large number of Spanish „dollars“ were put into circulation countermarked with a bust of George III. Spanish dollar was current in the Spanish-American colonies also, and very. largely in the British-American colonies. As the reckoning in these colonies was hy pounds, shillings and pence, the dollar caused great inconvenience, especially in “settling up” with the mother country. A tariff Het was adopt- ed by which the gold and sflver coins iu circula- tion were appraised. The dollar was introduced as che unit in the United States in 1787—and it came to stay. It ST.

About the time Ambassador von Bernstorff an- nounced that submarines would not attack mer- chant ships unless they attempted to escape or offered resistance, London also announced con- cessions. The British were to “interfere as little as possible with American trade while yet main- taining any blockade at all.” At least that was the way it was put. Now Judge Samuel T. Evans of the London Prise Court hands down a decision under which millions of dollars’ worth of American goods car- ried in neutral ships is forfeited to the crown. The principle on which this confiscation is de- creed is a cause for more concern than the heavy loss it occasions. The Judge holds that because the neutral countries having land communica- tion with Germany, to which these goods were consigned, were importing much more of Amer- ican commodities than they were accustomed to import in time of peace, irrefutable evidence is presented that the goods were destined for Ger- many. . This is the only fact on which the court con- clusion is reached. No evidence is adduced show- ing that the American shippers of these goods knew that the ultimate destination was Germany. Affirmative proof is in fact, entirely lacking. The ships were captured last November, the settle- ment of their cases being ever since delayed. That was very early in the war. The presumptions drawn from long-continued and habitual practices that aided our prize courts during the Civil War could not, therefore, be drawn upon m adjudi- cating the cases. The doctrine is laid down under sach circum- stances as to be dangerously subversive of mari- time rights. Scandinavia and Holland were ac- customed to buy many things from Eingland, from Germany and from Russia after transshipment through Germany. The supply of these things was interrupted at the opening of war and at the same time these neutral countries’ own domestic pro- ductiveness in many lines was greatly reduced through causes growing out of the war. A large increase in the supply drawn from America was, of course, to be expected. England, retaining command of the sea, is at present sending herself much more of many things to certain neutral countries than she sent in time of peace. Is it because she wishes to reap the fruits of an enlargement of her own trade that she enforces a principle against our shippers that she does not enforce against her own? It seems to be a decision under London prize ring rather than prize court rules. How were American shippers to know last November the exact percentage by which neutral countries were increasing their wartime imports as compared with imports in time of peace? = =] — SS = If the poultry page of the city daily is what has run the value of the American egg crop up to $700,000,000 a year, urban journalism will surely cackle. a wr WHERE THEY NEED “THEE PREACHEBS. They take good care of their preachers in Arkan- sas—where they evidently need all they have as we gather from Editor Hall account in the Salem Sun: Scarcely the conventional Batist crossing of the Jordan—but that is beside the point. Big Bill Maguffee is a hero for your whisk- ers. Just after the recent flood he carried Parson McKinney of the Baptist Advance across the swirling waters of the Myatt on his back. Now every Baptist he meets will draw his bottle on him. We commend Bill Maguffee’s high-water hero- ism, but we can’t help wondering what would happen to a temperance reformer under the same conditions. &¢¢¢ OZAR’S ANSWER TO “REFORM DEMANDS. Amnesty for all political prisoners in Russia is said to have been ordered by the Czar. They are believed to number 100,000. A comparison of two forms of government might accordingly be constructed in this wise: Persons imprisoned for political offenses in Russia Political offenses within the Russian definition have not been rare in the United States. Feeling bas run high here in late months. The Govern- ment of the United States has been viciously de- nounced. Intrigues against its peace and good order have been, promoted. Its executive has been abused, his ability disparaged, his soundest utter- ances distorted. But for offenses Russia punishes most severely free speech guarantees give im- munity in this country, The United States has not a single political prisonér while Russia has 100,000. Could any- thing show more plainly the need for more lib- eral institutions in Russia? The Duma has asked that the representatives of the people be given a larger participation in the public affairs of the nation. The unity and strength which progres- sivé reforms would add to defense in the time of Russia’s peril have been pointed out. But Pre- mier Goremykin is retained in power. The plan for a coalition Cabinet is deferred. As a rebuke the Duma is peremptorily prorogued. The Caar’s only answer to the demands for con- cessions is the amnesty granted to those under- going political martyrdom. It is a politic and humané move, but what Russia needs is changes that will give permanent immunity for acts now classified as crimes. = = " „ PROFESSIONAL BONDSMEN’S HARVEST.

Newspapers = in the UNITED ST LETTERS FROM THE PE OEL Idability for the Storm Damage. Te the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. Noting in your issue of yesterday the state- ments of one or two tornado insurance agents enent the recent hurricane damage, we will say that they are in harmony with all the rest of the agents for this class of insurance. le the Supreme Court of New York or Missouri made rulings such as stated it myst have been im feolated cases. Such a ruling would not hold goed for the recent trouble in St. Louls. To say that practically every brick house in St. Louis has defective walls is silly. This includes the in- surance agents’ own walls and we don't think they will admit this. The worst damage was done on hew houses, the brick laid by the best brick- layers in the city and the new mortar remaining intact thereafter, proving conclusively that the rain was driven through the walls by the peculiar Wind associated with tornadoes and hurricanes. The people of St. Louis are waking up to the fuct that they have been visited by a catastrophe gecond only to the tornado of 1896. While the largest damages were shown immediately after the hurricane a great many walis are only begin- ning to show the damage and this applies to nearly every brick house in the city. Whether the damage will stop with nasty stains to wall paper and mold in plaster that can afterwards be @eraped is a question. It is very probable that a large part of the plastering will rot and fall out Jater. Whole fronts of houses have been stained white with washed-out mortar and will have to be peinted. If this isn’t an actual damage to walls by, the direct force of the wind we might just as ‘well tear up our tornado policies and give these agents the cold shoulder in future.

The question of making the French-British loan is solely one of interest. The paramount consideration is American welfare. Is it a safe loan? Is it advantageous from the standpoint of trade? Would it contribute to American pros- perity? The essential consideration with American financiers in determining the question of ad- ‘vantage in negotiating the loan is credit for American purchases. It will establish a credit fund for the purchase of American commodities without flooding the country with gold. It is a matter of business. Instead of paying cash, France and England ask credit backed by na- tional guarantees. The loan insures the purchase of American products without disturbing money balances. Now who is the more patriotic—the bankers who are arranging the loan to insure the con- tinuation of profitable American trade abroad and the stability of finances, or Dr. Hexamer, who urges the withdrawal of money from the banks and the menace of a panic to prevent the loan and the realization of its benefits, in order that Germany may profit? What sort of patriot- lam is it to which he appeals—patriotism that would sacrifice American welfare to German interést? Did he appeal to American patriotism to stop the German loan as a conspiracy to thrust us into war as an ally of Germany? = — SS Spades are mr in the Buropean war game. a» vr wee ‘‘SAPETY FIRST.’’ Gommenting on the appalling record of auto accidents, Chief Young was right in saying that more care is needed on the part of both drivers and pedestrians. Accidents are due to the. reck- lessness of auto drivers and the carelessness of pedestrians and drivers of horse vehicles. Proof of recklessness on the part of auto driv- ers should be followed by punishment. This will help, but the permanent remedy is regulation and care. Rules for the regulation of traffic, foot and wheel, are the best preventives of accidents. These rules should be voluntarily obeyed as a safe- guard against traffic congestion and accidents, but until the public learns to obey they must be enforced. Regulation wf traffic and obedience to sound precautions are requisite to safety. They are the penalties of city growth. “Safety first” is the slogan. It devolves upon Britain to show that the Un- » Tterseeboote are not in the swim. One hundred and fifty undertakers mysteriously met at the Moose Club behind closed doors. No smaller thing is contemplated than the merging of all their business organizations into one com- bination. Though efficiency is held as being the reason for this move, it will be hard to con- vince the public that effichemcy in this case 18 not a euphemism for price. They are forming a dead cinch. It has been a serious problem for a long time, owing to the high price of living, to figure out how to remain on this mundane sphere. One sat- isfaction existed, however, in knowing if the worst came the door for departure was always open. Now that is to be closed, or a prohibitive toll put over it. If a man cannot afford to live and has not the price to die what under heaven is he to do? THE AMERICAN DOLLAR. In the war and our growing foreign trade the Federal Reserve Board sees the opportunity of the American dollar. It is hoped that the Ameri- can dollar may be set up as the universal unit and measure of exchange. Beloved as it is by all the nations of the earth, the American dollar in its apotheosis, sole em- blem of value, shining symbol of all earthly wealth, will be more than ever beautiful to con- template and dear to the hearts of mankind. The dollar has not always been an exclusively American institution. Before we cornered it, so to speak, the dollar wag current in many Nuro- pean countries. The word itself is a modified form of thaler, Whieh with other forms such as Galer; dalar, daalder and tallero, were shortened, it is believed, from Joachimsthaler. The latter, a coin from the silver mines of Joachimthal, cir- —— in Germany in the fourteenth century—a ptribute by the way to early German Kultur. This coin was the unit of the German monetary union from 1857 to 1878. To this Joachimsthaler the Finglish word dollar was first applied. The — ish piece of eight or real was also commonly re- ‘| ferred to as a dollar. It is related that when the Rank of England suspended payment in 1797, and coin was scafce, a large number of Spanish „dollars“ were put into circulation countermarked with a bust of George III. The Spanish dollar was current In the Spanish-American colonies also, and very largely in the British-American colonies. As the reckoning in these colonies was hy pounds, shillings and pence, the dollar caused great inconvenience, éspecially in “settling up” with the mother country. A tariff Het was adopt- ed by which the gold and silver coins iu circula- tion were appraised. The dollar was introduced as che unit in the United States in 1787—and it came to stay. It the two countries, and an ironic bit of fate, should England at last be obliged to measure her digni- fied pounds in the once despised dollar of her rebellious colonies. LONDON PRIZE COURT CONFISCATION. About the time Ambassador von Bernstorff an- nounced that submarines would not attack mer- chant ships unless they attempted to escape or offered resistance, London also announced con- cessions. The British were to “interfere as little as possible with American trade while yet main- taining any blockade at all.” At least that was the way it was put. Now Judge Samuel T. Evans of the London Prize Court hands down a decision under which ried in neutral ships is forfeited to the crown. The principle on which this confiscation is de- creed is a cause for more concern than the heavy loss it occasions. The Judge holds that because the neutral countries having land communica- tion with Germany, to which these goods were consigned, were importing much more of Amer- ican commodities than they were accustomed to import in time of peace, irrefutable evidence is presented that the goods were destined for Ger- many. . This is the only fact on which the court con- clusion is reached. No evidence is adduced show- ing that the American shippers of these goods knew that the ultimate destination was Germany. Affirmative proof is in fact, entirely lacking. The ships were captured last November, the settle- ment of their cases being ever since delayed. That was very early in the war. The presumptions drawn from long-continued and habitual practices that aided our prize courts during the Civil War could not, therefore, be drawn upon m adjudi- cating the cases. The doctrine is laid down under sach circum- stances as to be dangerously subveraive of mari- time rights. Scandinavia and Holland were ac- customed to buy many things from England, from Germany and from Russia after transshipment through Germany. The supply of these things was interrupted at the opening of war and at the same time these neutral countries’ own domestic pro- ductiveness in many lines was greatly reduced through causes growing out of the war. A large increase in the supply drawn from America was, of course, to be expected. England, retaining command of the sea, is at present sending herself much more of many things to certain neutral countries than she sent in time of peace. Is it because she wishes to reap the fruits of an enlargement of her own trade that she enforces a principle against our shippers that she does not enforce against her own? It seems to be a decision under London prize ring rather than prize court rules. How were American shippers to know last November the exact percentage by which neutral countries were increasing their wartime imports as compared with imports in time of peace? = = — a If the poultry page of the city daily is what has run the value of the American egg crop up to $700,000,000 a year, urban journalism will surely cackle. WHERE THEY NEED THEIR PREACHERS. They take good care of their preachers in Arkan- sas—where they evidently need all they have as we gather from Editor Hall’s account in the Salem Sun: Scarcely the conventional Batist crossing of the Jordan—but that is beside the point. Big Bill Maguffee is a hero for your whisk- ers. Just after the recent flood he carried Parson McKinney of the Baptist Advance across the swirling waters of the Myatt on his back. Now every Baptist he meets will draw his bottle on him. We commend Bill Maguffee’s high-water hero- lam, but we can’t help wondering what would happen to a temperance reformer under the same conditions. oe OZAR’S ANSWER TO REFORM DEMANDS. Amnesty for all political prisoners in Russia is said to have been ordered by the Czar. They are believed to number 100,000. A comparison of two forms of government might accordingly be constructed in this wise: Persons imprisoned for political offenses in Russiaasas 100 000 Persons imprisoned for political Political offenses within the Russian definition have not been rare in the United States. Feeling has run high here in late months. The Govern- ment of the United States has been viciously de- nounced. Intrigues against its peace and good order have been, promoted. Its executive has been abused, his ability disparaged, his soundest utter- ances distorted. But for offenses Russia punishes most severely free speech guarantees give im- munity in this country, The United States has not a single political prisonér while Russia has 100,000. Could any- thing show more plainly the need for more lib- eral institutions in Russia? The Duma has asked that the representatives of the people be given a larger participation in the public affairs of the nation. The unity and strength which progres- sivé reforms would add to defense in the time of Russia’s peril have been pointed out. But Pre- mier Goremykin is retained in power. The plan for a coalition Cabinet is deferred. As a rebuke the Duma is peremptorily prorogued. The Czar's only answer to the demands for con- cessions is the amnesty granted to those under- going political martyrdom. It is a politic and humane move, but what Russia needs is changes that will give permanent imimunity for acts now classified as crimes. = " PROFESSIONAL BONDSMEN’S HARVEST.

i ‘ eee and wife without children who were made happy by adopting four at a stroke. * * By Elsa Wilson Beebe. 11 IGHTEEN years married and never a cross word,“ vaunted William Dexter. “A model wife 3 It was his birthday, and an old-time slapped him on the shoulder “ him regarded him the hap- world. as his friend went on The boastful smile faded from honest, sympathetic face. In fact, he looked rather doleful and he shook he the % his head sorrowfully. 7 “But no children!“ he spoke to him- self, and that was the secret burden of his existence. It was a glory in life to realize what a wonde.ful wife his gentle, patient lovely Milly was. The home was a meat nest of comfort and cleanliness. Milly was intelligent and interesting, and the evenings never palled. Neither ever referred to the lack of childish voices, but when alone Milly often cried and William planned how, a few hun- dred dollars more ahead, he would make a Wholesale raid on some orphan asylum and fill the quiet home with boyish laughter and girlish glee. “I’m going to mother’s for two weeks, William,"’ said Milly, one day. “Don't you think you had better put up at the hotel while I am gone and be eomfortable?” Not 1.“ protested William definitely. “Why, I'd be so homesick away from the haven of luxury your busy hands have made of the old homestead that ld be down to mother’s after you inside of two days.” N Air Castles.

The action brought him back to the realities of life. He sizhed as he drove away the vision influence. Then he smiled whimsically. a “Dear old world, I love everybody!“ he aspirated. It cant ever be true, but they are my shadow children, just the same. It Was bleak and cold outside, but „iam was lonely and sleepless. He put on his raincdat, pulled a warm cap down over his face and confronted the blustering elements, setting out for a brisk night stroll. His heart w ed as he counted the days before ly would be back. He wondered if she, too, did not long and dream as did he. He began to calculate if he could not afford the care of a couple of adopted mites from the or- phan asylum, and then, deep in the woods surrounding the town, he let down his broad, swinging pace at the sound of juvenile voices and a fire glow. Well, well,“ he commented, nearing the glow and discerning four little forms within a sheltered nook of #reenery. There were two boys and two girls, the eldest perhaps 15, the youngest not more than 5. They were enjoying the blaze and toasting pieces of ham on the ends of sharpened twigs. All four were chattering animatedly. William listened, amazed and then enlightened. Adopts All of Them. E gleaned from their“talk that they LH were young waifs who had been traveling with a circus. They had -been raised to that life by their parents, both dead. One of them could perform on the trapeze, another on the Slack wire.

I HIS is the month when the needs of children and school girls loom large before the elders of their family. To the family of limited purse the making of frocks at home appeais as a means of economy. Serge is the ubiquitous fabrie for school Wear, and a good quality will serve satisfactorily. Braid, in red or white or black, is the prettiest. trim- ming for dark blue. But this fall some beautiful plaid effects have been introduced which are particularly youthful and charming. A frock of such bright colors may be trimmed with merely some distinctive collar, or belt of a plain material matching in color one of the tones in the plaid. Shepherd check is another youthful materia) which, though not as serviceable as serge on account of the color, is, nev- ertheless, attractive and much liked bv the children and young girls. It has a “sporty” air which they are keen to ap- preciate. ERE is shown a design which is N adaptable to various materials. The figure at the right suggests a very large plaid, which odd as it might seem, is sometimes immensely becoming and attractive by way of contrast, to the tiny form which it envelopes. Cut on the bias of the goods this model shows the straight full skirt intruding its ma- terial on the waist in the form of panels in front and back. These are partially interrupted, however, by a patent leath- er belt which slips through at the waist- line, and offers, its buckle to the back instead of the front. The sleeves and underarm sections of the waist are of plain serge, and below the belt at the sides are seen tiny insertions of the same material, which lend a bit of trim- ming to the skirt. Buttons of velvet or satin line up the front of the waist to the neck where a collar of velvet or satin points away to drop in wider and deeper points in back. This collar, if destred, may de of white linen or pique, and on Aa checked frock it would be very smart, as the model at the left shows. In effeo- tive contrast to it is the braid which binds the panels and outlines the tiny skirt trimming, while a shiny patent Plaid Effects for: the School Kiddies leather belt finishes the waistline. The slight fullness confined at the front and back by the belt is enough to give ease and grace to the straight cut of the design. ion: Rodney, Leila, Mary, little Wil- nam!

Within a week each one of the quar- tet had settled down to some simple household duty. The eldest boy was tha man about house, the eldest girl a charming, willing ittle housekeeper. Wiltlam DeXter left the house wiih 4 yrayer of fervent gratitude in the morn- ing and came home with a shout of de- light in the evening. Then Milly came hene. She was stunned at the opulent gift a kind heaven had sent her. She clasped them in strained joy to her breast und then clung abcut the neck of her husband, vurying like a happy baby. It was unalloyed for a month. Then a great shadow hovered over the de- voted group. The bank in which Wi- Ham had all his savings failed. The loss caused him to break down. For weeks he lay in an invalid bed. And then he was crushed as one morning his wife told him that the four chjldren had mysteriously vanished. “They saw the iean days coming!” moaned William! “It's human nature, hbut—I loved them so!” HE burden of life was harder than ¥F ever to bear now. William got back to health, but. like his hard- earned savings, his courage was gone. Nights he and his wife would sit, sad and silent, gazing at the vacant chairs. One night a neighbor, poorly suppress- ing an excitement because it masked a vast secret, invited them over to sup- per. Two hours later, returning home, the guests were startled to notice their house all alight. The shades were down. They entered in a wondering maze.

July 4, 1776, the bell was rung for the proclamation of the Declaration ef Inde- pendence. Oct. . 1781, the bell rang out for the surrender of Corwallis. April 16, 1793, it rang out for the proc- lamation of peace. ‘Sept. 26, 1828, it rang to welcome La- fayette to the Hall of Independence. July 4, 1826, it ushered in the year of Jubilee, the fiftieth anniversary ef the Republic. July A. 1826, it tolled for the death of Thomas Jefferson. July 4, 1831, is the last recorded ring- ing of this famous bell to commemorate the day of independence, Feb. 22, 1882, is ita last recorded ring- ing to commemorate the birth of Wash- ington. In the same year it tolled the death of the last survivor of the Declaration, Charles Carroll of Carroliton. July 3, 18%, it tolled once more, La- fayette was dead. July 8, 1835, while being tolled for the death of Chief Jus- tice John Marshall, a orack was devel- oped, starting from the rim and inolin- ing in a right-hand direction toward the crown. e Another attempt was made to ring it on Washington's ae Feb. . 1843, but the fracture much that no attempt — oven 1 ring it since. Origin of Comets. FESSOR ELIS STROMGREN, director of the Copenhagen obser- vatory, has carried out, with the ald of J. Braae, an investigation to determine whether comets come originally from The conclusion reached is that all comets heretofore observed have orig- inated within the solar system. By H. Jell Jr. He is apt to catch cold. He is likely, to catch cold. He is liable to catch cold. When we essay to express such a fact we are likely to say it any of the three ways, though only the last is correct. . The three words are closely synony- mous, but each as you will see possesses its particular shade or degree of mean- ing. Literally, “‘liable’’ means exposure to a certain contingency as, He is liable to catch cold,” or “lable to up on the ice,”’ or “liable to accident if he speeds im an auto,” te., etc. „Apt“ means fitness or suitability as, “Being pretty, she is apt to have many beaux.“ or “being smart is apt to win the prise,“ or “being swift is apt to win the race.“ “Likely” means worthy of ordinary belief or highly probable as, It is like- ly to rain during the month” or “to now during the winter.” By close analysis it is seen that the three words may be used interchange- ably as they often are. But to be proper they must be used in their literal senses. For instance: ‘‘Ice left on the porch in the hot sun is both apt, likely and Mabie to melt. That is, a lump of ice ig the best fitted thing to melt in a hot sun, it is also highly probable it will, and being placed in the sun, it is most surel, exposed to a certain contingency, However to say it is “liable to melt“ is literally correct, for when one makes the statement one is principally refer- ring to the exposed condition of the ice and not the probability of its melting or its partioular suitability for such 4 wastefulness. Back Yard Drug Plants. HE cultivation of drug plants in the United States, concerning which there has been considerable agitation since the outbreak of the present war in Europe, is the subject of a farmers’ bul- letin recently issued by the Department of Agriculture. This publication gives, in addition. to general instructions regarding cultiva- tion, harvesting and marketing, specific and detailed information eoncerning about sixty of the leading drug plants which have been grown in this country, The author, W. W. Stockberger, takes a conservative view of the possibilities offered by this branch of agriculture in this country, and especially deprecates the extravagant claims made in some quarters by persons interested in the sale of plants and seeds, who ask ‘‘the public to believe that extraordinary prof- its may be realized from growing me- dicinal plants, even in a situation no more promising than the average city dackyards.“ at “Selected Pintion. and ey Topics. i ‘Sandman story of the boy 588 heard a spider talk and learned of a cure for the sick Princess whom he later married, By Mrs. F.

It was full of happy people, but the King was very sad. Anc the reason was that his only chiln the Princess, was 80 delicate It was impos- sible for her even to walk.

The poor King was almost wild with worry and the Queen grew so gray that all the hairdressers in the kingd..m could not keep her curls brown. Cecil was a poor boy who worked about the gardens. He had seen the Princess and felt very sorry for her as he worked over his flowers. All day he hoed and weeded and 80 fond was he of the plants he sometimes im- agined they talked among themselves. One day he saw growing a very strange plant, which he had never seen de- fore. Its stem was of silver, its leaves of gold and on top was a tiny cup of pearl filled with what seemed a sweet dew.

Cecil laughed, but a funny thought popped into his Head. There is only one thing in the world I wish,’ he replied, “And that is some- thing which could cure the Princess. But, of course, that is not in your power.“ “Maybe it is,“ replied the spider. No one ever understood how to talk to us before.
