Flynn, managing owner of the Park and Shenandoah Theaters, today engaged Frank Moulan, a fam- ous singing comedian, to take the Place of Roger Gray as leading man of the Park Musical Co., according to a news dispateh from New York to the Post-Dispatch. . In an interview in New York, Flynn told of clobing the contract at the Lambs Club there this morning. Flynn also announced that a new director of the Park and Shenandoah stock companies will be engaged to sud- ceed Charles Sinclair, as was fore- cast in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch. He denied that Mabel Wilber, leading so- prono of the musical company is to be dismissed, but said other changes in the personnel of the two stock companies would be made About the first of the year. | Moulan is well known to many St. Louis theater goers. ‘He began his ca- reer here as a member of the Uhrig’s Gave Opera Company, and later filled an engagement with the Castle Square Opera Company in the music hall of. the old Exposition Building.

Neither the “diadochos”’ nor his Un- ele, Prince Andrew, apparently can quite get used to the situation in Saloniki. There they are in their own country, at their respective posts of command in their country’s army, already mobilized and prepared for any emergency, Yet it is they who sit idle. Foreign troops, guns, horses, supplies, ambulances, aer- oplanes pass and repass on their way to active work at the front, engaged in conflic* with a nation that has been Greece's bitterest enemy—and the Greeks merely parade. The other day two Princes went up to a Greek fortress near Dourball, at the very edge of the Servian frontier. They could hear the cannofading plain- ly; they could see against the sky the red flash of the opposing guns. They knew every foot of the land where the fighting was going on. Almost it was at their threshold. Soldiers both, they listened and watched for hours, ab- sorbed, eager. And then they put up their binoculars, mounted their horses and rode back to Saloniki.

Arthur J. Fitzsimmons, one of the owners, did his best to reassure the actors and singers. by telling them the only definite change decided upon thus far is the voluntary retirement of Roger Gray as leading man of the must. cal company and that if the services of others were to be dispensed with, ample notice would be given. As was stated yesterday, Flynn is now in New York to hire new talent for both companies, the intention being to so change the personnel of the compa- nies that in a few weeks they will prae- tically be new organizations. Although is was understood that Fiynn was looking for a new leading soprano, Miss Mabel Wilber, who now holds that position, yesterday afternoon said she believed she would hold her place here. “It was a great surprise to me when I heard of the contemplated changes,” said Miss Wilber. “I have received no notice and I am sure you can safely say I will continue to be with the company here, whatever changes are made.“ Charies Sinclair, director of both com- panies, also expressed sufprise and said he had received no notice that he was to be let out. Roger Gray told a reporter that for some time he had an understanding with the management that he was to be released whenever he succeeded in find- ing cther employment. “I have had flattering vaudeville offers,“ he said, “and I am ready to go on the circuit at any time.” Tw Go Inte Vaudeville. Fitzsimmons today told a Post-Dis. patch reporter that Gray had com- pleted Arrangements to go into vaude- ville. This, he said, was the only change that could be officially an- nounced at this time. Fitzsimmons and James Hagerman Jr., who with Fur control the theaters, said any changes in the companies would be gradual, 80 that ample notice could be given to the singefs and actors. They estimated that about five weeks would be required to make the changes. : Oakes Peanut Bar, ife Lh. Frl. & Bat.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Dec. 2.—Prospect of another attack on Agua Prieta with consequent menace tb this city just across the border, concern over the safety of Americans in territory where Villa's scattered forces are roaming, and the possibility of a reorganization of the Villa government and the elec-}, tion of a new President by the “sov- ereign convention,“ to be held soon at Juarez, were the chief points of. inter- est today in the series of quick moving events in Mexico. , Gen. Alvaro Obregon, the Carranza chieftain, is at Agua Prieta, and made a hasty trip by automobile from Nog- ales, Sonora, last night to, assist Col. Dato-Gampbell in arrangements for de- tense Against a threatened attack by Villa forces under Gen. Jose Rogrigues. reported to be advancing rapidly to ward the border town. Just a month ago Obregon, with a powerful garrison, well entrenched, repulsed an ill-timed attack made by Villa himgelf. Conditions today, however, are greatly changed. Until 5000 troops being trans- ported with the permission of Washing- ton over American territory arrive, the Agua Prieta garrison is conceded to be guez’s superior forces. Funston on Scene. Major-General Frederick Funston is here with his staff studying the situa- tion and prepared for emergencies. News is eagerly awaited from John Cunningham, an Oklahoma attorney, and Gus Hendricks, H. G. Southerd and Rafael Varela, mine owners, all of whom are reported to have fallen into the hands of Rodriguez's troops. Anxiety over Americans in Northern Mexico has been heightened by various reports that Villa has advised reprisals against Americans because of the Unit- ed States Government’s recognition of the Carranza provisional Government and the aid given in permitting Carran- za troops to be transported over Ameri- can territory. In response to warning by Gen. Obre- gon, Americans have left the gold min- ing, camp at El Tigre, Sonora, for the border. American employes of the big mining works &t Cananea, however, ap- rarently have not heeded the warning and most of them remain in the danger zone, Call for Convention. Call for the meeting of the ‘‘sovereign convention” of the Villa Government was sent out by Lazos Chazarro, presi- dent of the convention heid at Aguas Calientes a year ago and which is said to have resulted In the Carranza-Villa rupture. According to Col. Hipolito Vil- la, brother of the commander, repre- sentatives of Gen. Emiliano Zapata will attend, all Villa and Zapata leaders hav- ing been requested to send as delegates a representative of each unit of 1000 troops, It is announced 8000 troops in the vicin- ity of Chihuahua City would be moved to Juarez when the convention, the date of which has not been given out, is held. Other developments included a Cecree by Gen. Carranza divorting Mexican rallroads from military supervision and placing them under the control of Al- berto Pani, president of the Nationa] Lines of Mexico. |. According to reports received at No- gales the entire command of M00 men of Gen. Urbalejo, Villa's Yaqui chief, has surrendered to Carranza forces at Corso. Urbalejo himeelf is said to have escaped. Confirmation has been received of tha report that two Villa Generals arid 50 of. ficers had been executed in Sonora. Horses and Moles Burn in Fire. Three horses and two mules, valued at $1000, were burned to death in a fire at Il o'clock last night which destroyed the stable of the Robert Gillaspy Cooperage Go., 312 South Sixth street.

Great Joy of Owning a Doll, There probably are in St. Louis thousands of little girls who have never known the joy of holding pretty and well-clad dolls, pour- ing out upon them all the pressure of that youthful yet instinct mother love with which they are endowed from infancy. These inanimate fig- ures of tiny humanity are to their fancy representative of the highest and best there is to be had, and af- fection is lavished upon them not for a day, but so long as they can be preserved through the tenderest care. The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Association is going to see to it that not one of these little girls is denied this happiness during the days and weeks following Christmas day, if it be practicable to avert’ the disap- pointment, In this connection there is presented a reproduction in miniature of the doll to be presented to every girl at the Coliseum on that day who desires it. If one is overlooked, it will be through no absence of invitation and hearty wel- come, The dolis are well-constructed, with joints in the hands and arms, 12 inches tall, with bisque head, covered with flowing hair, eyes which open and close and blue shoes. That forms a foun- dation upon which can be constructed to advantage a costume at once harmoni- ous and pleasing to the eye, one into which the finest taste can find scope for display. It is for the exemplifica- tion of this taste that the Post-Dispatch will pay % in gold for each of the best five costumes. Many Dolls to Be Dressed. Considerably more than half the total number of dolls to be dressed have been requested: by volunteers for that work. But hundreds are still available because of the greater number of Adresses to be made. It was réalized at the outset of planning for this year’s Christmas hospitality that there were — — — —— — LOOK A CHILD'S TONGUE WHEN St ROSS OR FEVERS Hurry, mother!

That the tide is now strongly in the opposite di- rection as yet affords but partial relief. Losses in wages for a considerable period, with unavoldable. expense of maintaining homes, are far from over- ‘come. The idie class still is large, for the entire machinery of trade and in- dustry is not yet in motion, scattering money in every direction where earning power and desire are to be found. It is a situation appealing more strongly than ordinarily to the spirit of hospi- tality,. because it is one engendered by conditions which this country was pow- erleas to avert and able to correct slow- ly and with difficulty. How Work May Be Done. Sunday-school classes of girls and young women can find no higher gratifi- cation and beneficent service than in the dressing of dolls for the little ones to whom they will carry joy on Christmas day. They may volunteer, either as individuals or as class or- ganizations. In the latter capac- HARVARD ENROLLS 400 MEN -, IN VOLUNTEER BATTALION/: Two of Hoosevelt’s Sons in List; Maj.-Gen.

Prospects are that the number will be doubled before Friday evening, when the lists will be forwarded to Major General Leonard Wood. Gen. Wood has said that if a mem- bership of 400 was enrolled he would endeavor to have an officer detailed to drill the battalion and have the equip- ment supplied by the War Department. Among those who volunteered are Archie B. and Quentin Roosevelt, Jim- my Lowell, cousin of President Low- ell; C.

W This Is the Reason Given in Berlin for Reichstag interpellations About Peace Negotiations, BERLIN, Dec. 2.—Commenting on the proposed Socialist interpellation in the Reichstag concerning the conditions upon which Germany would make peace, the Overseas News Agency says: This interpellation is due to the fact that In Germany nobody understands why our enemies, after diplomatic de- feats in the Bankans, coupled with mill- tary fallures, have not yet begun peace negotiations. Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- wes probably will discuss these possi- bilities in the Reichsta#. Ensuing de- bates will likely show that the rulers of countries at war with Germany, still blinded, believe in Germany's starva tion, her economic prostration and m similar Wlusions. Therefore any peace conditions put forward by Germany would be interpreted by the nations op- posed to her as signs of weakness. Judge D. P. Dyer of the United Tt = ity, an evening or two during 2 0 * week, in assemblage for that pur- pose, would suffice for the undertak- ing and bring home to each of the members a personal organization af the beauty of the religion they are being taught that can be attained in few other ways. There also are in St. Louis scores of clubs of young women and ma- trons to whom no higher privilege is offered than that of costuming dolls for the Christmas hospitality to the city’s poor, Through the offi- cers of each of these can be oD- tained as many dolls as the club, as such, may wish to dress, or each sae may act upon her own Initia- ve. Through the agencies suggested, along with the hundreds of individ- ual women and girls whom the Post- Dispatch knows to be strongly im- bued with the spirit of hospitality at all times, but in an intensified form at the Christmas season, the hun- dreds of dolls awaiting volunteers should this week find themselves ar rayed in a manner to convey to the hearts of the little recipients on Christmas day the fullest measure of WITHDRAWAL OF U, FORCES FROM ‘cat 15000 5 4 gs 3 : 4 3 : 7 > 1 | i 2 | 7 * : Battleship n ee ane From/ Port au Prince for Philedeiphia— Admiral Caperten Remains, WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The battle - ship Connecticut left Port au Prince lust night for Philadelphia, withdrawal of ‘American naval fo engaged in the pacification of Rear Admiral Caperton remaina, his flagship, the cruiser Washington; several gunboats and more than ‘300 marines on duty ashore.

NN Dec, 2 — The declaration ef London has no internationp! valid- ity and adoption of the laration by an order in council] does no“ in- volve the creation of an internatlon- al tribunal,” said the Marquis of Lansdowne, Minister without port- folio in the British Cabinet; in answer to a series of questions put by the Parl of Portsmouth in the House of Lords yesterday: “We have adopted the declaration only with very consid- ‘erable and important modifications, and we adopted it only partly, and for the guidance of our own courts.” The Warl of Portsmouth's questions Were submitted with a view to elicit- ing the exact position of Great Brit- ain with regard to the declaration of London, and to betting at rest or con- firming the reports that Lord Read- ing had made an arrangement with the United States Government for the reference of claims to an international tridunal, after the war. On the latter point the Marquis of Tansdowne referred to the communi- cation of Sir Edward Grey, the For- ien Secretary, on July 31, stating that it was open to Washington to nad that diaputes in regard tisions of prise courts should be tted for review by an interna- tribunal, and remarked that Sir Grey's statement only committed Great Britain to a resort to arbitrations as a proper meins for vided in the arbitration treaty con- cluded with the United States last year.

On Sunday, the third anni- versary of their marriage, she remained indoors weeping. The complaint charges that he was in the company of an unidentified woman between April 1, 1914, and May 1, 1016. Mrs. Belmont says she is anxious not to disclose the identity of the woman. Asked regarding the alimony she would demand; she said she would leave that to the Court. “You know,“ she declared, I am not —— Sen rr and reasonable that the principle of arbitration should be contemplated. If that view required any confirmation, it is to be found in the arbitration treaty concluded with the United States last year, and, having agreed to the unre- served submission of disputes of all kinds to examination, as set out in that treaty, it seems to me it would be illog- seal to decline to look to arbitration if there was failure to arrive at an adjust- ment regarding the decisions of our prize courts.” Declines to Speak for Chief Justice. Lord Lansdowne said with reference to the report that Baron Reading, the Chief Justice, had discussed the st when in the United States: “If 1 am asked whether Lord Reading in private conversation had discussed these questions with people whom he met, I am unable to say, and if I did know I should not think it my duty ‘to inform the House.

If the Karl of Portsmouth would pay a little-atten- tion to the reports from all sides as to the economical pressure from which Germany was suffering, he would find, said the Minister, that the operations of the foreign office had not been as un- successful as he supposed. It was to be remembered that the country had other interests han those of a belligerent and other people had to be thought of. It was a mistake to treat the question as though there were no neutrals. In common justice, and in order that the country’s diplomatic path should not, be too rugged, the country should spare no effort to minimize the hardships and inconveniences which inevitably were in- flicted upon neutrals.

She Sues for Divorce Ae 7 ‘ 2 — Says She Stabbed Him After He Had Attempted to Strike | Her on Street. JOPLIN, Mo., Dec. 2-—-Vivian May Silver, N years old, is. held on a charge of second degree murder following the death of Frederick Herman, % years old, of Miami, Ok., her fiance. Miss Siver admitted that she had stavbed Herman with a small pocket knife in self-defense. “We had quarreled,” she said, “ we had reached a place near my ho after taking a walk, when he started to strike me. I threw up my hand to ward off the blow, and did not realize that 1 held the knife ine my hand, Without any apparent suffering, he sald: ‘You have stabbed me.“ Then he sat down oh a stone wall and I went to my room, where the police arrested me.“ Miss Siver had made Herman a pres- ent of the knife, she said, but he re- turned it to her. ‘ The Coroner’s jury failed to fix the blame for Herman's death, holding that he died from.a “knife wound inflicted in the region of the heart.“ Miss Siver did not attend the inquest, but she was represented by an ‘attor- ney, Miss Siver told Officiale that Herman had come to Joplin from Miami, Ok., Tuesday morning and pleaded with her to marry him and return with him, but she refused. He became so determined, she said, that she feared he would in- jure her. The girl’s mother lives here, but she has been staying at a hotel for some time. 4 The stabbing: occurred about 11 o' clock Tuesday night, and Herman's body was discovered half an hour afterward, Be died at police headquarters. Herman was a miner. None of his relatives have been found. | The Siver girl sent a bouquet te the undertaking establishment where his body lies.

TOUM UO RE Ue Cc ee IL — Officals Will Watch Durability, as Guide to Expenditure of $3,000,000. a The experimental construction of roads in St. Louis County for the purpose of urnishing practical examples of the dur- ability of materials for county engineers and the County Court is now practically Gnished. The wearing qualities of the various materials used will be watched closely by county officers, for the pur- pose of determining what would be the best way to d money raised by the $3,000,000 proposed bond issue, which citi- rens of the county have asked for. The County Court was petitioned yes- terday to call a special election to sub- mit to the voters a proposition for the bonds, the proceeds of which wil be de voted to county roads and bridges. The experimental work bas been io progress six weeks. On Manchester road, beginning at the North and ‘South road and continuing about 3200 feet west, a stretch of road is complete. It is im- proved with an asphaltam binder under the penetration plan. This plan places the binder over the old macadam base in a three-inch layer. The work was done at a cost to the county of $4000. “tT we Kinds of Binder Used, On the Clayton road, beginning at the city limits and continuing west to Pennsylvania avenue, 34% feet, the same plan is being pursued with but a slight difference. About half of the distance an asphaltic binder is being used, while for the remainder the binder is of tar. This improvement will be tomplete Sunday, if weather permits, and will cost $4000. What is known as the penetration method of road construction consists of a base stratum of macadam four inches thick, the rock used being two and one- half inches in diameter. This is rolled with a 10-ton roller, and an application of hot asphaltum or tar binder is put on: then a thin layer of macadam of seven-eighths-inch stone, and a second thin application of asphaitum or binder. This is followed by a second rolling. The surface is finished with torpedo gravel, which is gravel from the size of a pea to heavy sand. After the surface is put on the road mould stand #& hours to harden before being used. One Sample of Brick.

A the trench warfare in the Champagne district in France ts contained in a letter written by Corporal Raymond Leglaive to his wife, Mme, Yvonne Leglaive of 4219 Cook avenue, St. Louis. The letter was written in a trench which Le- giaive helped to capture from the ~~ ™ Germans, and he says, at the moment he was writing, the Germans were spraying the trenches with machine gun fire, and the heavy shelis from the French gune were falling and er- ploding 150 feet in front of the trench, to hold the Germans in check. Legiaive went to France and joined his regiment at the beginning ‘of the war, and after being in hospitals for 10 months, recovering from wounds, . he went to the front again in August. He was recently promoted to Corporal for gallantry. Here ie a translation of his letter: AT THE FRONT, Nov. 1, 1915, I am writing this letter under diffi- culties , being frequently interrupted by the rain and bombardments. We, are in trenches which we chptured from the Boches (contemptious term for German). My battallion greatly dis- tinguished itself? We captured three German lines at one blow and took 250 prisoners. Our losses were insignificant. Many of our own soldiers were wounded by our own shells, In their eagerness fo get at the enemy they approached tap near the shells’ intended for the Boches. Our attack was wonderfully well con- ducted. After a bombardment whith an- nihilated the defenses of the adversary, we leaped into their first trenches which Were 20 meters from ours. The Boches threw up their hands, one after the oth- er. But we could see the Germans who were mounted on the parapet firing on their brothers who were surrendering to the French. I was not in the company which made the attack, my section being assigned to keep up the supply of ammunition. I | was in one of the connecting trenches, and I assure you that as soon as we saw the first prisdners come running toward us with their hands raised above their heads we had to smile, and were very happy. The first prisoner to reach us was an urchin, 16 years old, wounded in the arm, and crying. The others were the big devils of the Fourteenth Bavarian Regiment, and they displayed great speed in runnink toward our first lines. Leaping into the trench, they shouted: Kamarades, bonnes francouse!“ (Com- rades, noble Frenchmen!) Nearly Leaped Into Bombs. It was necessary for me to lese one of them, very quickly, and pinion his arms to his body to prevent him from Jeaping into a case of bombs which was at my feet. Several wished to shake our hands |, heartily, and others tapped us on the shoulders showing themselves to be overjoyed at being delivered from the hell created by our fire. They did not wait for us to ask them for souvenirs, and when they saw that we would like to have their caps, they gave them to us quickly.

These were the only losses which we had to regret. The role of our Lieutenant was easy. Every soldier knew what he had to do, and the Lieutenant did not cease to repeat to us: Husband your ammuni- tion.“ I pray you to believe that there Was some smell of powder here. The Boches had sought to freeze us with fright during this attack by their war cry, which is mournful to hear in the night. But as they bo we answered: En avant, a la baionette!" (Charge, with the bayonet!) Each side seemed sat- isfied after that exchange of verbal projectiles. Taken and Retaken. This position has already been taken and retaken. by the Germans, so our General felicitated us warmly upon hold- ing it. It has been a month, the 8th of No- vember, that we have been in the trenches, and the rest that we shall soon have will be welcome, and we shall find much pleasure in using the toilet articles which we had to leave behind us. There is nobody but gentlemen with us, and our dirt is glorious, and one al- most loves it, and certainly, if we could debark, in our present state, in the midst of a great city, our clothes and our manner would speak louder than all of our exploits. Excus@ my writing, for at this mo- ment, I am under the fire of the ma- chine gun. The Germans are spraying our trenches with bullets, and our shells are falling and exploding 50 yards in front of our own trenches, and as the shells are very large the earth is trem- bling, and my hand also. I am beginn- ing to have a pain in my ears from the continuous booming of the cannon and the shells. . * Busy Bee Candy Bargain Friday. Fine Assorted Chocolates, 20c Ib. NEW WABASH RAILWAY CO.

Business conditions showed a marked improvement throughout the St. Louis Federal Reserve District for the month of October, as reported to the Federal Reserve Board by William McC, Martin, Federal reserve agent, and published today in the bulletin of the Federal Reserve Board. The St. Louis district includes all of Missouri except a small section on the western border, Southern Dlinois, South- ern Indiana, parte of Kentucky and Ten- nessee and all of Mississippi and Ar- kansas. The reports are made up by Martin from statistical information gathered from all sections of the dis- trict. Martin says the report is writ- ten from no special viewpoint, but at- tempts to give the unbiased actual busl- ness conditions that prevail. “The improvement in business condi- tions is noted in practically all lines,” the report stated, “the jobbing interests probably making the biggest strides, and their activity has resulted tn an in- creased demand on the manufacturers, which, in turn, through larger payroljs, has increased the buying power of the public and is reflected in the increased ‘activities of the retail merchants, Losses Early in Year Wiped Ost. The manifest improvement of the last 60 days has gone far toward wiping out the losses that occurred in the early months of the year and from reports business interests generally should show a comfortable increase at the close of 1915. In addition to the domestic de- mands, more and more firms are feel- ing the effect of the demand for goods for export, and this is a contributing factor toward the present prosperity. The bumper ¢rops ‘harvested this year have increased the buying power of all classes throughout the district; confi- dence has been restored and the outlook ia altogether favorable.“ Weather conditions throughout the district were favorable for all fall crops, it was pointed out. Farmers were found to be holding back a part of their cot- ton, and owing to lack of export de- mand, there was considerable stock held in terminal points in the district. The tobacco crop in Kentucky and Tennes- see was normal, and there were boun- tiful crops of corn, oats, barley, pota- toes, apples, small fruits and truck farm products throughout the district. The livestock market was not so active during October on account of the with- drawal of foreign buyers for horses. Martin reported that there had been an unusual lack of demand for money for crop moving this fall, and as a result all the banks in the reserve and central reserve cities are holding reserves large- ily in excess of legal requirements. Bank’s Business Grows, Discussing the business of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, Martin sald: In October the bank cleared 182,692 items, aggregating 86, 532,000.86 This showing is encouraging, there being a gain of nearly 32,000 in the number of items and of over. $11,000,000 in total]. e mount as compared to September. The clearings were the largest of any month since the bank has been in operation. This was partly due to increased busi- ness activity and also due in part to the fact that our member banks are be- coming more familiar with and are using more freely the collection facili- ties offered by the St. Louis Federal. Reserve Bank. ‘ “Gradually, exchange charges are be- ing eliminated throughout this district. Recently the St. Louis Clearing House S0eamended its rules that local business men and merchants should no longer have to pay exchange on checks received by them drawn on member banks, located outside of St. Louis, that are members of our clearing system. This will mean a great saving to the public at large.” PAINTING-ON CANVAS SAID TO BE 4000 YEARS OLD BRINGS $1700 Steme-Age Fuste Also Disposed of at New York Sale.

D 18 | sre 2 to ev 32.50 man Hears From Members of . State Organization. Repubiican National Committeeman H. L. Remmel of Arkansas, in a letter to the Post-Dispatch, advances the argument that the holding of the Re- publican national convention in St Louis in 1916 would stimulate the Repub- licans of Missouri as nothing else would do, and that a Republican victory in Missouri would prove an inspiration to Arkansas Republicans. That is one of the strong points re- lie? upon by the National Conventions Association to win the Republican con- {vention for St. Louis. Illinois is regard- ed as a Republican State, and there is no political reason why the convention should go to Chicago. Besides, the Re- publican party was wrecked in Chicago four years ago, when the Taft and Roosevelt forces were dead-locked in the convention for an entire week, each trying to gain control of the majority of the delegates. Reply to Post-Dispatch, Committeeman Remmel’s letter is in reply to a telegram sent to him by the Post-Dispatch at Little Rock, Oct. Zi, which he received upon his return home recentty from a two months’ tour of the West. I have written to all the members of our State Central Committee,“ he writes, “and have given my opinion that St. Louis would be the proper city in which to hold the convention, because I con- sidered Missouri a doubtful State. A con- vention held there would sthnulate the Missouri! Republicans as nothing else would do, and a Republican victory in Missouri in 1916 would prove an inspi- ration to Arkansas Republicans. Be- aides, St. Louis is our real banking and commercial city, after our home prefer- ence, and ‘ic is our ‘next-door neigh- bor.’ “I am gratified to say that the re- sponses to my letter are coming in daily, and thus far none has been op- posed to St. Louis, everything else be- ding equal.” “Doubtfal State” Appeal. The National Conventions Association believes. that the fact Missiouri is a doubtful State will make a very strong appeal to the othér Republican national committeemen. The Missouri Republic- ans, through their State and city or- ganizations, are going to Washington with the committee representing the conventions association, and emphasize to the members of the National Com- mittee the political importance of send- ing the convention to St. Louis. ‘St. Louis will meet any financial prop- osition Chicago makes, and will show the National Committee that it has a better convention hall, more conven- lefitliy situated with respect to the hotel centers than Chicago, and that its ho- tel, telegraph and telephone . facilities are ample for every purpose. James E. Smith, chairman of the Na- tional Conventions Association, before leaving at noon today for Washington to attend the meeting of the Democratic and Republican National Committees, said that St. Louis had a good chance to win both conventions, and was al- most certain to get at least one. Smith will arrive in Washington tomorrow afternoon, and join Harry B. Hawes and the other St. Loulsanse who went yesterday. : A committee of 10 leading Democrats and business men will follow tomorrow, leaving at noon, and arriving in Wash- ington at 1 p. m. Saturday. 30 Workers te He on Ground. With the two Missouri Senators, mem- bers of Congress, Secretary of Agricul- ture Houston and former Govs. Dockery and Folk acting as members of the St. Louis committee, there will be about workers on the ground by Saturday night. The members of the delegation will put in Saturday evening, and all of Sunday and Monday, presenting to in- dividual: members of the Democratic National Committee the arguments for St. Louis. The National Committee will meet Tuesday, and hear the bids of the different cities for the convention. The decision ought to be reached by Pp. m., Washington time, Tuesday. The Conventions Association ts per- fecting today its financial arrangements. The finances are in such shape that the St. Louis delegation will have author. ity to bid at least $190,000 for the Dem- ecratic convention, and a similar amount for the Republican. It is prob- able that certified checks will be taken to Washington and exhibited te the committees as guarantees that St. Louis will produce the money. No money wil! have to be raised on the subscriptions | that heave been made until after the first of the year, if St. Louis gets one or both of the conventions, The money SECRET INQUIRY INTO BANKRUPTCY OF SCHOOL BOARD Special Committee May Not File Its Findings in the Present School Year. The virtual bankruptcy of the Board of Education, which has forced a sus- pension of summer and night school in- struction and school building, will be in- vestigated in executive sessions of a spe- cial Ways and Means Committee, the committee announced the public will be informed of the re- sult in a report which may not be filed in the present school year. This information was given yesterday to a Post-Dispatch reporter who in- quired if the public would be permitteri to Rear the testimony of department of- ficials, and of experts which the commit- tee is authorized to employ. — Dr. Henry L. Wolfner, chairman, said the meetings would be closed and that no report of the investigation is likely to be issued until the committee conclud- ed its work. The other members of the committee are C. W. Johnson and A Holt Roudebush.

But for its possession of franchise rights, how- ever, the Union Electric company would not be in a position to obtain this $716,576. On no part of its gross receipts is it under greater obliga- tion to pay the 5 per cent tax. It obtains no other part more easily or with as small a return in service—merely passing $716,576 worth of current through a few feet of Union Electric Co. wires, and perhaps doing that only constructively. - City Counselor Daues is justified in insisting on the payment not only of the present year’s tax but of all the arrears for many years past. If the North American officials who own both utilities wish to continue grabbing off this $231,- 965 of graft, tax free, they must erect some other kind of a third toll gate. The $35,000 tax dodged by the lighting com- pany and the $235,000 mill tax dodged through pettifogging by the traction company make a total of $270,000 a year of which the city is de- prived at a time when revenue is much needed. ‘ se ever an American community so bled and pited and victimized and generally bedeviled ag ‘Bt.

The victory for free speech in the acquittal at Paterson,-N. J., ot Elizabeth Gurley Flynn is notable because gained under unusual difficulties. Since the serious labor troubles there in 1913 the awless police and other officers of Paterson have denied Miss Flynn even the right to exist in the , resisting her incoming by force, compelling to leave, if discovered there, and assuming in ce of its delivery that any address she might there would be criminal. breaking up a meeting she had planned on revived a flimsy old 1913 er of inciting to violence, on been tried, with only the re- that the jury disagreed.

It he is not afraid to say so, why does he not prepare a declaration of war, have the resolution introduced in Con- That would mean something. All of Mr. Roose- velt’s scolding tirades in the newspapers and magazines mean nothing. Since the beginning of the war nobody else— not even Mr. Bryan—has talked one-half so much as Mr. Roosevelt, yet when it comes to trans- lating his own words into what he calls “effective action,” he is as spineless as an oyster. There are only two ways in which a nation can maintain its rights, One is by the slow, clumay processes of diplomacy. The other is by drawing the sword. There are Americans who believe that the Unit- n States ought long age de ne entered the war on the side of the allies either to help redress the wrongs of Belgium or to repay to France the debt of gratitude that we owe her for our own in- dependence, to aid Great Britain in ‘fighting what they consider the decisive battle of democracy, One may agree or disagree with such Americans, but their criticism of the policy of the United States Government is clear and intelligible. The peace-at-any-price people whom he loads down with opprobrium are far more entitled to respect than he, because they, too, have definite’ principles and are advocating those principles. Like the people who think we should enter the war, they are promoting a concrete policy. It may be wise or unwise, but it is a definite line of action. We can think of nothing more contempti- ble in a great national crisis than for men to seek deliberately to embarrass their Government when they are too craven to propose a policy of their own as a substitute for the policy that the Gov- ernment is pursuing. If Mr>Roosevelt wants war let him at least have enough manhood to say he wants war and to say that Congress should exercise the great sovereign power that is vested in it and in it alone. ——————_+0¢ A—h THE NEW CAREER VILLA PLANS. The fortunes of Pancho Villa. are so reduced that he sees no alternative but to resume hig former life of undisguised banditry. Northern Mexico being impoverished, he plans to make sudden raids on this side of the line, looting prosperous American ranches and rich mining towns. This may be considered good news for Mexico and what is good news for Mexico just now is good news for us. If he undertakes robbing expeditions in Amer- ican territory his destination at an early date will be some American penitentiary. During the years he is in confinement Mexico, to our great advantage, will have a chance to devote itself to peace and the means of recuperation after the exhaustion of long warring. OOO THE WAR AND SUFFRAGE. Is it not more than possible that the new de- mocracy which it is supposed will spring from the ruins of the warring nations in Europe may carry with it equal rights to women? The label “superfluous” applied in the past by statisticians to women not born independent, or unmarried, will no longer hold. Far from being superfluous, they are proving themselves of the] most vital importance. Wherever a man has been called to the front a woman has stepped into his former place, till today a large part of the commercial business of England, France and Germany is being operated by women. This, too, is not restricted to clerical work, as she is showing her efficiency in manual labor as well. She is working side by side with the mén in the factoMies and at the same wage. Hitherto the “superfluous” woman has been rather a pathetic figure in the world. To her brother workers she was something of a nuisance In tending to a reduction of his wages. Today all this has changed. While the men were away fighting woman has won a bloodless victory. She is in every sense of the word man’s equal and will remain so. When the war is over, with the many men killed and the many more maimed, competition in labor between the sexes will cease. The prob- lem will be to find sufficient people to perform the necessary work, and it is to woman the states will have to turn. With affectionate solicitude she will be importuned to aid in alleviating the situation, and her equality will be a fact as a co-worker. When this happens supplication will be a thing of the past. Woman need not ask her brother whether he will or will not grant her suffrage, but can bluntly demand it. — —2 636 — —— BIDING A WHE.

Mary, too, for a mo- ment was glum as Nellie Blair flashed by, proud and contetaptuous, in a dainty outing gear that enhanced her youth and beauty. In fact, Mary and Mark were ip a measure ignored by former friends because they did not keep up with the procession.”’ The Collision. UT all this was forgotten as, re- FR turning from some show at «a neighboring town, they let old Dobbin pick his way along the moonlit river road, while the night birds iulled them to serenity in warbling harmony, and the clear stars twinkled as if smii- ing upon the happy, contented faces of Then once they came along with old Dobbin just in time to haul Nat and a broken steering gear fixed, and at an- other time they pulled a touring party of four friends out of a ditch and won meek, shamed thanks from former de- riders. | One afternoon old Dobbin was taking them over to Gayville, where a county fair was in progress. There was a shori cut possible by crossing a narrow bridge, used rarely except by teams. At either approach the road curvé, ani it was customary for anyone cr g m a | vehicle to halt and see that the way was Clear, af two teams could not pass at one time on the bridge structure. on ng coming. Get up, Dobbin,“ ordered Mark. after peering ahead, but as they got half way up the approach a clatter caused him to turn the horse sharply, hoping to be able to get out of the way. Nellie back to town four miles to have „Jump!“ suddenly shouted Ned. He spoke just in time, Mary leaped lightly to the ground and ran a few yards down,the side of the incline. Mark sprang to the head of the horse, gaw that he could not turn in time, and also sprang out of the way. Crash! What happened came with the rapid- ity of a swift movies picture, An au- tomobile came flying down the incline. It held two men. As it struck the, wag- on it splintered it te pieces. The ma- chine gave a lurch and threw one man over into the river. The other jumped. As the man in the water swam for the shore and the other made for some underbrush, Mark saw half a dozen persons headed by the village Marshal, come dashing over the bridge to the spot. where the disabled machine lay, a wreck. $1000 Reward.

As.a matter of fact it is scarcely proper to refer to the corps as the offspring of the old ment, for in this case the child is older than the father. The Marine Cérps cele- brated its 140th birthday this year, for a resolution providing for two battalions of marines was passed by the Conti- néntal Congress in November, 1776, some months before the birth of the republic. The Marine Corps is thus the oldest branch of the service. At Vera Cruz and in Nicaragua, Hayti and the Philippines the marines have within the last few years fully lived, up to the tradition of the corps. In the boxer rebellion in China and in the Spanish-American War the marines es- tablished a record for skill and daring which serves as an inspiration to the men who how wear the uniform and insignia—which, quite appropriately, is a globe—in all parts of the world. Jo other nation has attached so much tmportance to the marines as the United States. The sailor may sniff at the sea soldier,“ but down in his heart the tar knows that the marine often “has it on him’ when it comes to efficiency in fighting. Not that the marine is neces- sarily any braver than the sailor or sol- dier; but he has had the advantage of a much more thorough training, and so, too, has the officer who leads him. For the officer of the United States Marine Corps, the full course at the Annapolis Naval School, which is ‘quite food enough for the future Admiral, is only the beginning. After that he must spend two years in .igorous study and drill at the Norfolk school for marine corps officers. Only the fittest survive that thorough course of training. When he gets through the officer knows a great deal of everything connected with the science of war, and there is very little about either sea or land fighting, in- fantry, cavalry or artillery, that he doesn't know. As for cavairy—well, the “horse marines” have always been con- sidered a joke, but on more than one occasion the marines of both Uncle Sam and John Bull have fought on horseback ~and, What's more, fought well. In the battle of Santiago the marines operated the smaller guns on the Ameri- can fleet, and some of the Spanish of- ficers have testified that the fire from gentleman with the variegated habill- | — SIXTH AND ST.

By Leased Wire From the New York Burean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The remarkable frequency with which fires and explo- sions have occurred in munition plants throughout the ‘country during the last four months again has been brought to public attention by the investigation of the Du Pont powder mill explosion at Wilmington, Del., Tuesday, in which 90 lives were lost. It ig estimated that 87 munition plants have been damaged, with a monetary loss of $6,000,000 and a loss of @ lives, with many scores maimed. Inquiry by correspondents throughout the East and Middle West reveals that there were exceedingly few fires or ex- plosions a year ago in the plants which have suffered most recently. No Trace of Plotters. : Federal and other authorities have been working hard on the suspi@ion that these depredations were the work of conspirators, but if they were, the or- ganization has been so complete that of- ficials have as yet been unable to round up the plotters. The greater part of these depreda- tions against property—if such they were—were committed in the states adja- cent to New York and many in the met- ropolitan area. . The Du Pont fag¢tories alone have suf- fered from 10 fires or explusions. The firat occurred at Pompton Lakes, N. J., Aug. 30, 1914, followed by others at Has- kell, N. J., March 6 of the present year, at Stillhouse, Carney’s Point, N. J., May 15; at Wayne, N. J., June 26; at Wilming- ton, Del., Aug. 19; at Wilmington, Aug. 128; at Pompton Lakes, Aug. 7, and those at Wilmington on Nov. 4 and Dec. 1, and near Birmingham, Ala. It ie estimated in the Du Pont plants five times as many explosions have oc- curred during the last four months as compared with the corresponding period of 1914, Fire tn Gus Cotton Plant. On Nov. 2% a fire in the Haas & Wald- stein guncotton plant at Newark was extinguished with little damage. An in- vestigation by Paul J. Moore, chief of the Newark Fire Department, failed to disclose its origin. On Nov, 9 fire destroyed the large wiro shop of the John A. Roebling Sons Co. at Trenton, N. J. One thousand per- sons were thrown out of employment and damage of more than $1,000,000 was done. The origin of the fire is still a mystery. It was the first that ever oc- curred in the factory. During a strike at the J. L. Mott Iron Works, in Trenton, three weeks ago, a bomb was found in a carioad of coal. j A mysterious fire placed the lives of 500 visitors on the battleship Alabama, lying at League Island, Philadelphia, in jeopardy last August. Within a few days a fire started in the battieship Oklahoma, under con- struction at the New York Shipbuilding Co. plant. The battleship, however, is still undergoing repairs. Two days later someone opened the seacock of the torpedo destroyer Ericka- son, at the same ship yards, resulting in considerable damage. w# $50,000 fire recently destroyed valu- able models at Baldwins’ Eddystone works. Many Incendiary Fires. The Midvale Steel Co, has had many fires of incendiary origin. The same state of affairs prevails at the Brill Car Ce. and the Southwark Machinery Co., all of whom are engaged in the nanu- facture of supplies for the allies. The glaze mill of the American Pow- der Co, at Acton, Mass., was wrecked and other buildings damaged by an ex- plosion on Aug. 2. Officials said that it was tncendiary. The explosion oc- curred early in the morning, and for that reason no one was injured. It was so terrific that it broke doors, windows and dishes in houses in Manchester, Dover and Salem, N. H. Many similar explosions and fires have occurred in the last four months in factories in that section of New En- gland where supplies are being made for the allies. In each case the damage was exceeding!y small. A fire at Providence, R. I., last week, destroyed cotton valued at $50,000, in- tended for Russia. Other munitions making factories at Providence and in that vicinity are belng guarded night and day, especially at the Brown & Sharpe plant, where recently there was a strike. The Curtis Aeroplane Co. at Depew, N. F., was partly wrecked by an ex- plosion in September, but there were no aeropianes in the building at the time. A German was suspected, but as there was no evidence against him he was not arrested. Men Vaguely Accused, German agents are vaguely accused of several mall fires which have oc- ocurred recently in munition plants near Baltimore. Fire a month ago on a Hal- Amore & Onio pier at Locust Point did more than $500.00 damage. The pier was laden with merchandise and muni- tione awaiting shipment abroad. Hours afier it was thaught one fire had been extinguished. another started in the Poole Engineering Co. plant, and, although declared not of tncendiary ori- Ein, bad mysterious features. The plant te engaged in manufacturing shells for Russia. Three fires of this nature occurred in the neighborhood of Baltimore in the mame period of last year. Bie Fires believed to have bedi? incendiary 5 have caused the destruction of more than $1,990,000 of property in Virginia during the last three months. The fire * FHURSDAY EVENING .

The old American Building, where Government papers were stored, was on fire twice in two weeks. f Two recent. explosions in the plant of the Aetna Explosives Co., at Em- porium, Fa., destroyed the guncotton section and killed four men. ‘The prop- erty loss was $150,000. A short time be- | Rittman process for the manufacture fore this the mixing plant of the Aetna company was destroyed by an explo- sion and three persons were killed. The damage was $100,000. The most disastrous explosion in Pitts- burg occurred at the testing plant of the Aetna Explosives Co, where the of trinitrate of toluol was being used. Seven men were burned, three fatally. A mysterious fire in the Diamond Forge and Steel, plant caused $12,000 damages to the department in which helles Were being made. : An egplosion in the annealing furnace of the Westinghouse company killed one man. The furnace was used to temper shell steel. Explosion and Fire Destrey Factory P Supplying Allies. MADISON, Wis., Dec. 2.—Fire, be- abe destroyed the plant of the French Battery and Carbon Co. last night, entailing a loss of $100,000. In addition to the plant of the bat- tery company, three railroad cars were burned and the factory of the Northern Electric Co., adjoining, was damaged. Just before the blase was discovered, an explosion was heard. Shortly after, flames were seen shooting from the plant, and by the time firemen arrived the entire building was burning.

BERLIN, Nov. 10.—The resumption of steamboat travel on the Danube is an event of much economic importance for Germany and Austria-Hungary. That river is in peace times the great high- way for freight traffic’ between Ru- mania and Bulgaria on the one side and the central Powers on the other; and by far the greater part of the foreign trade of the two little Danubian king- doms has been with thelr big western neighbors. But river traffic has been entirely suspended since the war broke out—and this for two causes. Not only did Servia put mines into the river, but the Russians sank several old vessels in the narrow channel of the Iron Gate just below the Hungarian frontier. This wholly stopped the export of grain from Bulgaria to Germany and the dual mon- archy, and also greatly restricted ship- ments from Rumenia as well. Some shipments by rail were made from Ru- mania, indeed; but not only were the railroads quite. inadequate for the traf- fic offered, but the Rumanian Govern- ment pursued a policy which appeared to be dictated by the wish to check shipments. Drove Hard Bargain. The Government apparently _ believed that Germany and its ally were placed in a position of dependence upon Ru- mania for grain supplies; hence it was disposed to drive a hard bargain with them. Not only were export duties on grain introduced, but special fees for placing freight cars at the disposal of shippers were charged: In consequence of this policy the greater part of the grain available for export from the 1914 crop was left in the country and is still there. Only recently—after the Servian campaign was well advanced—did the Rumanian Government see that its sys- tem of squeezing the trade for all that could be got out of it could no longer be maintained; and about a week be- fore the Germans and Austrians effect- ed a junction with the Bulgarian troops the Bucharest authorities began to re- lax the onerous burdens upon the ex- portation of grain and other agricul- tural products. In view of the harsh measures enforced by Rumania, how- ever, there is now a strong disposition in Germany and Austria to buy no Ru- manian grain at all, and to buy from Friday Lazell’s 250 value Massatta Playing Taloum, Gc | 10c Friday Friday 250 Dirlove Rice Powder, 17⁰ Friday 500 Ib. box Everyday Assorted Chocolates, 100 bottle 250 Pasteurine Vaseline, Tooth Paste, IE Friday 5 ; 575 KNA atti 1677 1 Friday Friday 280 box of 4-072. 5 V jergen’sVio- Cascara Sterilized let Gly- Sagrada Gauze, 20% 2ic|22¢ Friday Friday 360 Package ( The extremely mild weather of the past few weeks left a New Vork maker with hundreds of beautiful Winter Coats.

Between Locust~-and St. Charles Bulgaria instead; but doubtless the trade will later come around to taking Ru- manian grain without objections as soon as it is offered on equal terms with Bul- garian. The supplies to be obtained from those two countries are very ilarge—much larger, in fact, than Germany and her ally are ifkely to need. Here in Ger- many the fact has been established through official inquiry that the stock of grain in the country is ample for feed- ing the population; hence there is no need for buying abroad for bread-making purposes. On the other hand, a big addi- tion to the grain supplies will come in very perceptibly, as it can be fed to live- stock and thus increase the meat supply. Big Grain Producer. Rumania produces about 6,600,000 tons of grain, of which about 3,000,000 tons represent corn, 2,300,000 tons wheat, and the rest is chiefly barley. Nearly half of the crop has hitherto been exported.

In Bulgaria, accord- ing to official estimates, there will be about 1,000,000 tons of grain for export from the 1914 crop. There is thus a pos- 200,000 tons represent corn and the rest chiefly wheat; and besides these amounts there are about 400,000 tons of corn and barley left in the country from the 19l4crop. There ts thus a pos- sible supply of some 6,600,000 tons (or more than 226,000,000 bushels) in the two countries for or and Austria to draw from. Other foodstuffs can also be obtained from Bulgaria. Before its recent period of wars began thé country was export-- ing about $5,000,000 worth of animals and meats yearly; and it ts expected that considerable quantities ef butter and esta will not be exported te Germany. The resumption of traffie on the Dan- ube will also bring Germany inte trade relations with Turkey again. The impor. tance to Germany of this connection is evident from the fact that Turkey’s er- ports of raw materials amounted befere the war to nearly §110,000,000, and those of food products to about $185,000,000, EAST ST, LOUIS AGAIN UNABLE TO-FIND ENOUGH LABORERS Here's the Heater You Want Charter Oak Hot Blast The Greatest Value in St. Louis at Our Price of $9.85.

DOESN’T FEAR GERMANS Even if Victorious, They Will Not Have Enough Men to At- tack This Country, She Says. Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston, gen- eral secretary of the Woman's Peace party, in a speech on “Preparedness” this morning at the Wednesday Club declared the United States, by inoreas- ing its armaments in any marked de- gree, would throw away the greatest opportunity ever given a nation to heip? the world abandon militarism and sub- stitute law for war. She pointed out how, in her belief, it would be infinite- ‘ly easier to lessen dangers of war than it would be to multiply armaments for defense. “A shrewd and clever slogan is half the battle,” Mrs. Mead said. The mili- tarists have chosen one in the word ‘preparedness.’ It appeals to all those who believe in caution, prudence and foresight. The word, as now applied, is a misnomer. It refers to only one form of preparation and that for the danger which is most remote. “As President Eliot has recently said, ‘The danger of European or Japanese invasion is almost infinitesimal’ Even should Germany prove victorious in this exhausting war she would have no men left to hold down her acquired African colonies gained from Belgium, England, France and Italy. The last thing that she would want would be to engage in war 3000 miles beyond sea with a nation which is nearly one-fifth of Teutonic origin and which has always been her friend. Should she attempt to ship over even 100,000 men it would take 900 transports with necessary artillery and equipments, and even if there were ne accidents, no fog and no unnecessary delay, it would take nearly two months before she could be ready to invade our shores. : “Meanwhile she would leave herself so Weakened at home that she would be a prey to her defeated foes. No war carried on at such distance has ever yet been successful. Great Britain sent 250,000 men to conquer 50,000 Boers. , It ‘took her two years and five months and then she was obliged to surrender the country to the conquered. Suggests Pian of Defense, “The same methods of defense which have prevented the greatest navy on earth from attacking German towns only 200 miles distant can protect our shores from any invaders. The sub- marine, mines and forts are all that we need for real defense. Battleships are for offense, and we claim that we have no offensive purpose. If our coast can be properly protected from these hypo- thetic foes we have no need for a citi- zen army or a reserve force. A citizen army would be as needless for us as it is necessary for Switzerland. Little Switzerland, less in size than New York State and with very much less wealth, could never be an aggressor. Other na- tions will be compelled to increage their armies and look upon us as an aggres- sor if we adopt the Swiss system and carry out the proposed naval program. “If a bleeding, bankrupt Europe is a new menace to us it will be still more a menace to the rest of the world. If we increase our armaments in any marked degree we shall throw away the greatest opportunity ever given a nation to help the world abandon mili- tarism and substitute law for war. Pa- cifists believe in adequate defense for real dangers, but we see no real danger of attack for many years to come. “Japan's interests are wholly west- ward. The last thing she wants is trouble with her old friend on this side of the Atlantic.

Dr. Alexander Willbanks of Washington, the self-styled “Black Bil- ly Sunday.“ who has held revivals in Philadelphia and other Eastern cities, has arrived in St. Louis and, to use his own phrase, “is larruping the devil around the stump and chasing him out of St. Louis’ at his nightly meetings in West Turn Hall, Beaumont and Morgan streets, which opened Sunday. “The negro is. not like the white per- son,“ he told a Post-Dispatch reporter who listened to him last night. When the negro gets religion he likes to shout and leap. And when I’m preaching I gets em shouting and jumping all over the place.“ And he did. So effectively did preach the gospel that more than 100 of his 400 listeners shouted in unison when he reached the climax of his sermon, and two negresses had to be held for fear they might injure themselves or others in their religious ecstacy. Dozens leaped to their feet with joy, some ex- tending their hands heavenward as they supplicated their Maker ta forgive the errors of the past. Jumps Into the Audience, “Black Billy’’ is even more sensa- tional in his poses and his daring pulpit oratory than the real Billy Sunday More than six feet tall, he wears 4 Prince Albert and white waistcoat with the heavy gold chain draped over it. At times when he wished to drive a point home he jumped from his pulpit into the crowd and exhorted individuals to for- sake the ways of the wicked and be- come children of God. The congregation did not sing the opening hymn, O, They Tell Me of a Home in a City Made of Gold,“ fervent- ly enough to suit him, “Stop! Stop!“ he commanded, catto tones. “Now if you folks don't want to go to that place, I know of another place where you can go—it’s not made of gold either, but redhot fire. Now sing p like you want to go to heaven.“ And they did. Even some of the 20 white persons present, sang. ‘Escape for thy life,“ was his text, taken from the seventeenth verse of the nineteenth chapter of Genesis. Having read this, he told them of the destruc- tion of Sodom and Gomorrah in plain terms so that the simplest among his hearers could comprehend the awful fate of those who forsake God and worship Lucifer. Version of Sodom and Gomorrah, His description ran thus: “Abrdham was sitting in his tent door on the plains of Mamre, with the salu- brious breeze blowing about him, and the foxes getting ready to leave their holes ‘ond the everlasting stars about to come out, when angels appeared to Abraham, and he gave them meat. Then they went away, and the Lord told him he was going to burn up Sodom and Go morrah. “The Lord said that if there were 50 righteous persons there he would not. Abraham girded up his loins and start- ed running through the city, but he couldn’? find them. He asked one man: Say, mister, are you a Christian?’ Me A Christian? I should say not I'm a gambler,’ that wicked man an- swered, “Abraham then weut down a side street, where he heard ragtime played on a piano, and asked a woman if she was righteous. She said: Say, man, what do you is? This is the redhot district.’ he didn’t find no righteous there. “Then the Lord said if there were 40 be wouldn't destroy the city; then 30, then , then 10. Abraham was bound to find at least 10 righteous, so through the town. “some of the folks laughed at thay good man as he tried to save em, just as they laugh at ministers today; but the Lord had spoken, and he was tryin’ io save the wicked sinners. No Highteous, in Gambling Den. “He ran into a gambling den, just like they use to have in St. Louis when was here at the World's Fair, and he said: Is there any righteous here?’ “But they laughted at him. ‘Gee, that fellow’s bug-house,' one of ‘em said. But don't you think Abraham was bug-house. He knew what he was doin’. But he couldn't find the righteous, he went back to his tent on the plains of Mamre, where the salubrious breeges blew. 5 “Hie went back to his tent, he went back to his tent,“ the minister sang, and his congregation joined in the chant. “Then two angels appeared to Lot, as he sat in the gate of Sodom. Zephyrs were being wafted pleasantly about, and all waa peaceable and quiet. Old Sol had hid himself for the night, and beau- teous Venus had unveiled her face to the plains of men. And Lot took the Angels, in and he gave them meat. And the angels fold him to pack up and fly away, because God was going to burn Sodom. Lot started to get his goods ready. then he went out after hia sons-in-law, but they were triflin’ fellows, just like the boys you see hanging around &.. Louis pool rooms and saloons. He looked in all the geod places first, like the ehurches and the banks, but they weren't there. “Then he went down to a gambling den, and there sat hie sons-in-law play- ing vards. “Up, get you out of this place, the Lord will destroy this city,’ told ‘em. “The crowd that was sittin’ around the ecard table guffawed, and said te ene of the sons: ‘Bay, what's the mat- ter with the old guy? “And one of em aneweéred, ‘Aw, pay po attention to him He's v. he is And the other answered: 0 on home, ole man, you've got a tech of the heat.’ “And Lot went back home, kinda sor- rowful like, just une we minteters do when we can't get you singers to come he he in stac- think this And for he . to church. So he and bie wife packed OF SODOM BURNING he ran’ ’ 80 up, Just like this, and trotted off, just like this.“ Here he put a large Bible over his shoulder, and trotted back and forth over the platform, while the congrega- tion shouted, and one woman leaped to her feet, and in ringing tones, said: “Thank God my sins are washed away in the blood of the Lamb.“ A deep hush fell over the audience, and speaking in a softer tone, the min- ister said: 5 “God bless you, Lord is with vou.“ his sermon. 1 But Lot's wife, she had a woman's curiosity, and she kept a sayin’ she wanted to look back, and Lot Kept a tellin’ her to keep her eyes to the front Finally she took just one little peep, and then the Lord He turned herinto a great big pillar of salt--that’s zust what He did, brethren. “Then the (Lord cut loose the brim- stone and the fire. and he burnt up those two wicked cities.’ Puts Question 10 Hearers. Throwing his coat back, and clapping his hands together, the minister shout- ed in a rumbling bass: And where would God find you if h- sent Lot to look for vou f he Was going to burn up old St. Louis? Would he find vou in thé saloon? And what would he see when he looked in your icebox— a can of beer? And what would he find in your piane—‘It's a Long Way to Tip- rerary,’ or a gospel song of Heaven? Then he lowered his voice to almost a whisper as the congregation quieted aft- er shouting a bir, and continued: “And what do you do, my brethren, my sister, for the Then he continued NO INDIGESTION OR Never any sour, gassy or acid stomach, heartburn or dyspepsia. 11 85 > .

Once or twice ccntests with big Western elevens have been declined with the explanation that the school alread had booked too many big contests. But it was an ex- cuse to avoid, being discourteous. Hereafter, the schedule makers will think twice before booking teams. Yale, Harvard and Princeton had a tough season last year, aw events turned out.

Yale's schedule before the season, innocuous enough, but developed a ter- rific sting ere the mpaign was well under way.

MISSIONARY Because It’s Absolutely True That Branch Didn’t Attend Church Here Last Night. Branch Rickey was not in St. Louis last night so it’s entirely probable that it was not he who attended the Mission- ary convention at the Third Baptist Church. Branch is a versatile geek and he can pich-hit in the pulpit a great deal better than he can at Sportsman's Park, but this business of being in Ohio and at a St. Louis church 1 once is a little too much Branch, a Rickey is expected today. "The Amer- ican League meetin will, be held Bec. 14 in Chicago and Rickey is book a catch-as-catch-can’ Graeco-R talking match with Clarke Griffit! Renyard of Washington. Branch pires to a great feat. He wants to transfer Samivel Agnew to Washington and Eddie Ainsmith o St. uls. If this trade were considered on a basis of batting potentiality it would be an even-Stephen affair. Ainsmith at- tained an average of .20 last season, while Agnew geached as high as .203. But Ainsmith is much the better receiv- er, not prone to pitchouts. He's a help to the pitcher, ig other words. *)| Browns Have Speed. In this era of speed, when any- body's day is almost altogether a failure if he doesn't run down a few pedestrians and get pinched 565 speeding, Rickey is followin 0 naturgl tren of events.

S. B. A. C. TO STAGE BOUT Sailor Jerabek and Al Farnum Should Furnish a Good Pre- liminary, Saturday. By Harry S. Sharpe. Meferee for the Future City Athletic Ciab and the Poat-Dispeteh’s Bostea Authority. The South Broadway Athletic Club Stages another boxing show Saturday night, and has matched Jimmy Murphy, a member of the club, with Jimmy Pap- pas of Atlanta, Ga., for the main event. The bout will be for eight rounds and the boxers have agreed upon ii ring- eee side. This weight will be easy enough for Pappas, who is in the fiyweight class, and probably is not too light for Murphy, though he boxed “Young Zulu Kid” at 115 on Nov. 6 and appeared fo carry no extra weight. Pa s has recently been nominated by the American Boxing Association as a condidate for the flyw wotgnt champlion- ship, for which the limit 112 pounds, He is a fast, clever and tricky boxer, strong for his weight and very enduring. Pappas made his first a ce here in a bout with “my Future City A. C. and immediate hit. He night seven pounds, t gota the aggressive New York 1 Next he battled Johnny Ertie, the St. Paul claimant of the bantamweight title, and aroused great enthusiasm by his wonderful tenacity in a sensational bout. Ertle was the winner at the end of eight rounds, but Pappas had kept him busy every minute of the time. His next bout was acainst Bobby Burns of Dallas, Tex., and he held the Texan to an eight round draw. Pappas Even With Burns. Pappas did not show so well in this bout as he had in the others, principally because he devoted much of his time to ducking, clownish antics and making faces. However, he engaged Burns in some tierce rallies in eve round and kept on even terms with t man from Texas. Murphy, a graduate of the amateur ranks, has been boxing around St. Louis for a number of years, winning mont 8 his bouts, but losing some. He given the decision over the Zulu in —.— recent bout by the refegee, but the news- paper representatives at the ringside were unanimous in their belief that Zulu was the winner. Murphy is a clever boxer, with a stiff punch, and believes he has a chance to defeat Pappas.
