Democratic Committee Sets June 14 as Date for Their Session—St. Louis Won on Second Ballot. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Spurred by their victory in landing the 1916 Demo- cratic national convention, the St. Louis delegation of the National Conventions Association, headed by James E. Smith. will remain in Washington and strive to land the Republican national conven- tion at St. Louis. The members of the Republican National Committee meet here next Tuesday. For many weeks the St. Louis contingent has been at work creating sentiment in favor of St. Louls as the city to entertain the Republicans. Tt is understood that such Repub- lican leaders as Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, Gallinger of New Hamp- shire and William Barnes Jr. of New York, already have pledged themselves in favor of St. Louis. It the Democrats regard Missouri as debatable ground this year, the Repub- Means have more reason to center their ht in the State, and for this reason an of those, it is believed, favor i convention there. A meet- | t for the purpose of devising und means for capturing the Re- To Fight to Last. the members of the delegation stated emphatically today that there was absolutely no foundation for the re- port printed in Chicago that St. Louis would not try to capture the Republican convention, in view of its sucecssful fight in landing the Democratic gath- a 4 „We started out to get the Republi- can national convention for St. Louis many weeks ago,“ he said, and- we have not relinquished our efforts, de- upite the fact that we won in the con- test against Chicago yesterday. From assurances we have already received from prominent Republican politicians, leaders in the prty, I feel confident that St. Louis will be given the honor of en- tertaining the next National Republican convention. The commottee has fluished ite work here, but Chiarman McCoombs expect- ed to remain probably till tomorrow to arrange further details for the conven- tlun with Mr. Smith of the St. Louis delegation. It will be held June 14. When McCoombs returns to New York he will take with him for deposit in a New York bank, five drafts handed him yesterday by Smith, totalling $100,000, the sum pledged by St. Louis for the convention. St. Louls won the conventian on two ballots last night.

A fine of $20 for lying“ and % for speeding was assessed against Louis Greenspon of 5829 Westminster place, a merchant, by Police Judge Hogan, to- day. Greenspon was arrested yesterday aft- ernoon. It was charged tha: he drove his machine at 25 miles an hour on Lo- cust street, between Beaumont street and Twenty-first street.

LONDON. Dec. 8*—"‘As there is noth- ing doing in Christianity at present, isn't it important that clergymen should enlist?““ was the question asked in the House of Commons today of Harold J. Tennant, parliamentary Undersecretary for War by the Liberal member for Hanley, Rabert I. Outhwatite. The question was put evidently with the object of starting a debate on the subject of the enlistment of the clergy. upon which there has been considerable discussion.

Bostwick Approves Plan Suggested by Member of Post- Dispatch Staff. Music rolls are to be circulated free to the public at the public library, and if the plan afoot meets with immediate response, it will be in working order probably by the first of the year. The music rolls, it is intended, will be fur- nished by the thousands of player- piano owners in St. Louis who have been seeking a medium of interchange of their music records, . The idea was first suggested to Li- brarian Arthur E. Bostwick by H. G. Lidstone Jr., a member of the Post- Dispatch staff. Dr. Bostwick has given the suggestion his approval and will treat the rolls as part of the public library's musical collection. The music rolls will be handled by the library in the same manner that it handles books for distribution: that is, they will be classified, catalogued, shelved and is- sued to holders of library readers’ cards. Rolls Must Be Contributed, As the library has no appropriation at hand for the establishment, itself, of such a department, the music rolls, necessarily, must be supplied by the several thousand player-piano owners in the city. The music rolls, although kept at the central library, will be available on order at the various library branches, and also at the 60 or more drug store stations. Lidstone, who already has made the first donation, has given his entire col- lection of 120 music rolls over to the library. „I was forced to stop purchasing new rolls,“ he says, because there was no further space jn my music-roll racks to put them. rtually Also 1 have quit playing my plano because both myself and family were tired of listening to these same 120 rolls. An idea suggested itself that I find a place where I could exchange my music for rolls I had not heard, eventually resolving itself into the visit to Librarian Bostwick. Unless oth- er player-plano owners contribute their quota of rolls, the innovation, as striven for, will not pan out.“ Many Thousand Players, There are several thousand player plano owners in St. Louis, of none of whom but has in his music racks a score or so of rolls that he is tired of playing. These rolls given over to the library and properly catalogued, immediately would form a gigantic col- lection that each donor constantly could draw upon—probably for several years. As the musical taste of each player- piano owner varies, this collection would embrace virtually every grade and qual- ity of music now being made in music- roll form. The collection would contain many du- plicates, so player-piano owners who, In making their donations to the collec- tion would turn in favorite music rolls that they were temporarily tired of playing, could at any time afterward find the roll or its duplicate upon the department shelves, As yet it has not been determined how many music rolls can be taken from the department at a time, after the collec- tion is catalogued and is well under way. This will be-decided upon as soon as the stock of music rolls reaches large proportions. The average lover of play- er-piano music, it is agreed, will want to take home at a time at least a dozen rolis. This will be feasible and within reason as soon as the size of the collec- tion will permit. Librarian Bostwick has also signified ais willingness to accept phonograph records, to be catalogued and distributed us music, provided these are turned in as gifta. — 0 ½rnwßn — — — — Tuesday, yesterday, the advertising carried: Times, combined ...... -_ and auburba. buyera?

George Rodgers, a negro, of 1003 North Twelfth street, who shot and mortally wounded Patrolman Lee Kraeger on August 31 last, pleaded guilty to first degree murder in Cir- cult Judge Fisher’s court today and was sentenced to life imprisonment at Jefferson City. It is not customary for the State to ask a death sentence in cases where the state is not forced to trial. Kraeger was shot by Rodgers at the plant of the Cox & Gordon Pack- ing Co., 1019 South Third street, at 3 p. m. He died at the city hospital five hours later. The policeman went to the Cox & Gor- don plant to question Rodgers about the discharging of firearms. Rodgers’ arrest had been requested by Lena Johnson, a negress, who said he had fired several shots at her in her home at 1003 High street. The negro was entering the shipping room of the plant when the policeman. who had been waiting for him to arrive, stepped to the freight platform and called to him to surrender. Rodgers drew a revolver and fired three shots. The policeman turned to dodge the bul- lets and one of them entered his bead behind the right ear. Hee fell uncon- scious. Rodgers then fled, flourishing his revolver at several shipping clerks as a warning not to follow him. Rodgers was captured an hour later in the yard in the rear of his home. There he had another fight with Patrolman Griffith, whom he kicked in the stomach, He again tried to draw a revolver, but Policemen Alyward and Gerlach dis- armed him. ‘ Kraeger had been in the police depart- ment two years, and was on the beat which his father, Poligeman Charles Kraeger, had patrolled until the latter's death ll years ago. Kraeger left u widow and two little children. NEW MISSOURI CAPITOL MUST GO UNFURNISHED UNTIL 1917 Legisiature Failed to Authorize Com- mission to Expend Its Appropria- tion of $300,000. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 8.—Under a decision of the Supreme Court today the new capitol, which is to be completed, according to the contract, by July 1, 1916, will have to go unfurnished until after the next legislative session, be- cause the last three Legislatures failed to authorize the Capitol Commission to buy furniture. The Legislature appropriated $300,000 for the purchase of furniture, but neg- lected to delegate the authority to the commission to spend the money. The commission bought furniture worth $32.50 and filed the bill with the State Auditor, to make a test case. The Au- ditor, by prearrangement, refused to honor the account and the commission applied for a writ of mandamus in the Supreme Court. The Court denied the writ.

MAY GET SAFE CONDUCT Allies Said to Be Ready to Con- sider Request if Made by United States. WASHINGTON, Dec. S. - Emperor wn. liam has a personal interest in the with- Franz von Papen, attaches of the Ger- man embassy here. State Department officials have been informed that as the attaches were ap- pointed by Emperor William, he prob- ably personally will give the orders for their withdrawal. It is understood that officials considered it probable that the Berlin Foreign Office was prompted to ask what caused the action of the United States in declaring the attaches persona non grata, so that when a report of the incident is made to the Emperor, it may be complete in all details. The belief prevailed in official circles that Ambassador Bernstorff would not be able to inform Secretary Lansing that the wishes of the United States would be complied with before Saturday, at the earliest. Any application for safe vonducts for Capt. Boy-Ed and Capt. von Papen will be consideerd by the allied Governments solely as a request of the United States. The first impulse among representa- tives of the allies was to flatly refuse to consider treating the two German offi- cers, once they are deprived of their diplomatic immunity, differently than any enemy soldier or sailor. Further consideration, however, has led to a change of view. Dispatches from London say that in view of the probability of Germany ask- ing for safe conduct for her attaches, considerable interest is taken in the action of a German submarine in remev- ing from a Greek steamer the British attache, Col. Napier, who was on his ay. : Sofa 2 BRITISH OFFICIALS TAKEN PRISONERS BY SUBMARINES Military Attache at Sophia and Mem- ber of Parliament Were Passengers on Greek Steamers.

Napier, until recently British military attache at Sofia, has been taken off a Greek steamer by a German sub- marine near Messina. A British official report says that Capt.

He was conveying letters from the Eastern Mediterranean to London and was trav- eling by a Greek steamer which was stopped by an Austrian submarine.

Gilmore, Jullus R. Bersch and Harry C. Imel, charged in indictments with second and third degree arson. The Circult Attorney, when questioned by reporters, refused to explain his ac- tion in detall. He said that the cases would be considered by the grand jury Friday and that there was no inten- tion of stopping the prosecution. 6 It was learned later by a Post-Dis- patch reporter that Herbert O. Baker of Webster Groves, an insurance agent employed in Bersch's office, and who had turned State's evidence, had stid- denly lost his memory” and told the Circuit Attorney that he could rot re- member what his testimony had been before the grand jury.

O more interesting declaration of policy has been made in all the re- cent discussion of peace than the statement of Albert Thomas, Under- Secretary of War in the French ministry, and best known as the man who has organized French munition manufacture: There will be no peace until our Alsace and Lorraine are definitely re-established as a part of French unity.’’ Here is a clear and definite, tangible fact to be faced by all those who would talk about peace at the present time. Conceivably Germany would now agree to evacuate Belgium, France and Servia. She might even waive her project for an autonomous Germany might consent to ret land. A Washington dispatch suggests that ede to France the French-speaking districts of Lorraine—that is, Metz and the adjacent districte—but does anyone sup- pose Germany at the present hour would give up Strassburg? If France insists upon regaining her „Jost provinces,” Britain must and wil stand with her. Russia has not the smallest temptation to sign & peacc which would cost her Poland or even the surrender of her Balkan ambitions. Italy will not pause until she has Trieste. She has just given full proof of her purpose by signing a treaty to make no separate peace. The merits of the Franco-German dis- pute over Alsace-Lorraine are beside the question now. It is a fact disclosed by German official statements at the time of the Zabern incident that Alsace-Lor- raine has never accepted German rule or given her allegiance to the conqueror. In taking Alsace-Lorraine, Germany en- forced a land title, which at best was weakened by more than two centuries of lapse. She acted with total disre- gard to the wish of the people of Alsace- Lorraine, who were passionately devoted te France. The German theory that time would alter the feeling of the Alsatians and that a population mainly Germanic in speech would return to the Teutonic family in due course of time has not worked out. The failure is chiefly due to the inability of the Prussian to rule by other than Prussian methods. 300,000 German Immigrants. But if the mass of the population re- mains Francophile in its affection, there's a considerable portion which is also Germanic in sympathies. This is supplied by some 300,000 German immi- grants, who have brought to the prov- inces the German ideas and ideals. They are the functionaries, the high and low officials, the school teachers and the state employes. They have replaced some 250,000 Alsatians and Lorraines who bave migrated to France since 1871, The position of Alsace-Lorraine, even if it returns to France, will not be alm- ple, and France, in her turn, will con- front a considerable disloyal element. But it has been plain from the outset of the war that French opinion was a unit on the subject of the lost prov- mees“ and a peace which did not undo the work of the treaty of Frankfort would be for the French a peace utterly unsatisfactory. Beyond all else the annexation of Al- suce-Lorraine represented and represents a violation of the modern notions. of human liberty. More than 1,500,000 peo- ple were annexed by Germany in 1871 without the smatest regard to their own wishes, in the face of their unani- mous protest and opposition. Here was revealed in its entirety the German notion that every wish of a peo- ple or of a race is of no value when weighed against German necessity and the Teutonic aspiration for a “place in the sun.” What Germany did in Alsace- Lorraine she planned to do in Belgtum, in Northern France, in the Balkans. The question of Alsace-Lorraine is not merely a local question; it is a question ef principle which involves the whole German idea. If the Germans are com- pelled to give up the lands conquered not only in 1914 but in 1870; if the right of men and races to choose their own nation is re-established and fortified, that will be a real step toward perma- nent peace. Alsace-Lorraine is for the whole world a sign and symbol of the \‘erman idea and the German theory, and 80 long as Germany retains these orovinces the gospel of might will main- tain, Results of Annexation. Looking backward after 4 years, it is sasy to see how fatal to Germany the innexation of these provinces has proved. If Bismarck had treated France in 1871 as he treated Austria in 1866 the France-Prussian war would have left no permanent scar, as the Napoleonic wars left no French resentment. Then Ger- many would have been free to deal with her two great natural rivals, Russia and Great Britain. By taking the French provinces she perpetuated French hostility. When she allied herself with Austria she ‘‘took on” Austro-Russian quarrels in the Bal- kans. it was always certain that when Great Britain recognized the German menace she would turn to France and Russia, and that Italy would gravitate to the same alignments. Bismarck ‘fought three wars, but he fought his three opponents in turn. William II has played his hand less skilfully, with the result that he faces a world in arms. But the fault is not primarily his. The inheritance from Bismarck of the Al- sace-Lorraine question has handicapped him at every turn and now lies acros his pathway, the greatest obstacle to For the French, the “lost provinces“ have become the test of French safety and the future of France. Frenchmen recognize that unless these lands are reclaimed, France cannot hope to re- main a great Power or permanently make head against the German peril. To France the war is not a question of freeing Artois, Flanders or Champagne— it is a question of regaining Alsace- Lorraine. A year, two years from now the hope and weary smile may vanish. The burden of war and suffering may become intolerable and France may have to give over her dream and her hope. But that time is still far in the future, as the declaration of M. Thomas, one of the leaders of the French Social- ists, indicates. Futility ef Peace Propaganda. In the face of such a national emv- tion, in the presence of a national de- sire and determination which has lasted for more than # years, how futile and childish are all the platitudes of Ameri- can pacificists, of men like Bryan and Ford, whose minds have never grasped the smallest circumstances in European history and who can see nothing in war but the casualty lists and the hospital returns! What seems terrible to us now je only a familiar circumstance in European history. It is the normal, not the abnormal, strange only in its maz- nitude. From 1792 to 1815 Europe fought. with two brief interludes. From the Crimea to the Treaty of Frankfort was another span. Behind hie all the wart of Frederick and Louis XIV. War is quite as familiar as peace to the Euro- pean. It would be well for Americans, eager to stop a conflict whose issues and causes are beyond their knowledge or their understanding, to give to European history a fraction of the time they are giving to public utterances and platform announcements. A question like that of Alsace-Lorraine supplies a complete demonstration of the reason why peace is now only an American hallucination and the explanation of the reason why the belligerents still prefer war to any peace now attainable.

SAD TO BE SAFE Vessel Was Reported to Have ‘Been Sunk by Submarine Off Coast of Tripoli. LONDON, Dec. 8.—A telegram from Alexandria, Egypt, received today by Lloyds, says the American oil steamer Communipaw, reported sunk off the coast of Tripoli by a submarine, arrived at Alexandria Monday. It is inferred that possibly some confusion has arisen in regard to the identity of the vessel torpedoed. A dispatch from Rome had reported a search by two steamers, one a Greek and the other Italian, at the spot near Tobruk, Tripoli, where the Communi- paw was reported sunk by a submarine, failed to reveal any sign of the tank ship or of survivors. These steamers were sent out as soon as word was re- celved at Tobruk that a ship had been sunk, The first report of the affair came from the captain of a steamer who ald that while he was cruising near To- bruk he witnessed the sinking of an American steamer by a submersible, He thought the name of this steamer was the Columbia. Inquiries made later, es- pecially through the British authorities, brought word ship was the Communi- paw. The Communipaw was held up recent- ly by the Italian Government at Genca, but was allowed to sail for her destina- tion Dec. 2. Afterwards she touched at Castellammare, near Naples, proceeding eastward. The Communipaw had about 15,000 tons of oil and had been held up at Genoa to settle a question concern- ing 2000 tons of this oil, which the Ital- lan authorities suspected might be con- traband. The Communipaw was released after a satisfactory explanation had been received and the American embas- Ss a Rome had made representations to the Italian Government. The Communipaw arrived at Genoa, Nov. 15. She was commanded by Capt. George Nordstrom. Her wireless oper- ator was R. J. Kingsley. The steamer was bound for Alexandria. Standard Olli Office in New York Gets Word ef Safety of Communipaw NEW YORK, Dec. 8.— A dispatch from Alexandria, Egypt. apparently confirma- tory of the report received by London Lloyds, that the oil tanker Communi- paw was safe, was received today by the Standard Oil office here. This mes- sage stated that the Communipaw reached Alexandria on Sunday last and would sail for New York yesterday. British Send Warships After Subma- rime in Mediterranean. ROME, Dec. 8.—The British authori- ties have given orders that the warships at Malta and the Egyptian squadron give chase to the submarine that was reported to have sunk the Communi- paw. Descriptions of this submarine in- dicate that she was of an unusually large size. The activity of .submarines in the Mediterranean has caused inquiries to be made regarding the American schoon- er Albania, which sailed from Gallipoli Friday with supplies for Albania. Tho schooner is reported to have reached an Albanian port. On board her were William H. Howard, an American, and Col. Herbert, an Englishman, who, hav- ing retired from active service in the army, is now occupied with relief work. St. Louis To Go After Second Big Convention Centinued From Page One. delegation.

They are expecting that Chi- cago will be the principal rival for the Republican convention, although Phila- Geiphia, San Francisco and Honolulu will make a bid for it. The political reasons for holding the Republican convention in St. Louts are as one of the strong points in the St. Louls campaign. Illinois will have a “favorite son” candidate for President, Senator Lawrence Y. Sher- man, and rival presidential candidates do not want to have a national con- vention held in a State which has a candidate. It ia expected for that rea- gon that the New Engiand states, which are the candidacy of Senator Weeks, will throw their support to St. Louis.

WASHINGTON, Dec, Senate Re- publicans will make no partisan fight on the national defense program if it is not framed by the Democrats in caucus. Senator Gallinger, the Republican leader, told President Wilson today that want the army and navy strengthened and are willing to co-operate with the Democrats. Later Mr. Gallinger said President Wilson had Democratic caucus making the defense plans party measures, “I agree with the thought in the minds of the President and Secretary Garrison in the preparation of the ad- ministration plans,“ said Senator Gal- linger at the White House, “but I have not. studied all the details yet. The Republicans will not treat this matter in a partisan manner and I so told the President. 0 “We win honestly co-operate with the party in power in working out de- fense plans which will be adequate and sane. But we will not agree to have the Democrats frame their plans in cau- cus and then ask us to approve them. The Republicans are ready to meet the Democrats half way if the majority party is really willing to discuss this question on a‘ non-partisan basis.” Opposes Merchant Marine Pian, Senator Gallinger disagreed with the President on his plan for a merchant marine and for raising the money nec- essary for preparedness. When the ad- ministration shipping bill is introduced, Senator Gallinger said, he would offer a stitute. The Republicans, however, he added, favored using the me t marine as naval auxiliaries. Senator Gallinger advocated a bona issue and opposed President Wilson s program of internal taxation. He par- ticularly objected to a tax on automo- biles and gasoline. He said, however, that he favored lowering the income tax minimum and he believed. a tax on bank checks would do no harm. He opposed a tax on inon and steel. Representative Mann, Republican lead- er of the House, will discuss the nation- al defense plans with the President to- morrow. M’ADOO’S LETTER PRAISED MELLEN IN NEW HAVEN DEAL Nation’s Treasurer Then caw No Harm in Acquisition of the Bosten and Maine Road. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—William G. Me- Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury, saw nothing wrong, while in private life, in the acqv'sition of the Boston & Maine Railroad by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. His view in the matter was disclosed today in the form of a letter offered by the defense at the trial of 11 former directors of the New Haven road. The letter was written by McAdoo to Charles S. Mellen on June 14, 1907, at the time the New Haven had acquired a majority of the Boston & Maine stock. McAdoo congratulated the then New Haven president on the progress made in getting the stock, hoped his Plans would be realized, and added that he did not see how any “broad gauged and progressive man can have any other view than that it will be beneficial to New England.“ , McAdoo had, at that time, proposed, Melien testified, that the New Haven build a connection in New York City, with the Hudson tunnel, which McAdoo was then constructing. . * Ask the Grocer for Blue Ribbon, McKinney’s Blue Ribbon Bread, 6c, has greatest food values—tastes go00d and IS good.

In the morning, she said, the boy's condition was so favorable that it was thought he might be sent home before night. She said Dr. Tracewell and Dr. H. H.

Dr. Helbing. when questioned by the reporter, said he had heard nothing of any plan for an operation at noon, and that, so far as he knew, the unfavorable turn in the boy’s condition did not come until late afternoon. He said an opera- tion had been discussed by himself and Dr. Tracewell some days before, but that the idea was dropped because of the boys seemingly improved condition— a condition which, he said, continued until Monday evening.

Dr. Tracewell, when seen by the re- porter, first repeated the story he had told in police court, and said be still thought that the delay, which he placed at a half hour, cost the boy's life.

SEY CANNOT WIN IN PRIMARY, KOELN DECLARES Mayor and Graves Unable to Swing City Organization to Editor, Collector Says. HE IS FOR JUDGE LAMM Sedalia Candidate for Governor Will Carry 24 Wards in City, He Asserts. Collector Edmund Koeln, leader of the anti-Kiel faction in St. Louis Repub- lican politics, and talked-of-candidate for the nomination for Mayor against Mayor Kiel in 1917, denies that the Mayor and Cirouit Clerk Graves can de- liver to E. R. E. McJimsey, candidate for the nomination for Governor, the support of A of the 28 Republican com- mitteemen of St. Louls. The Mayor and Graves told McJimsey at the American Hotel Monday that they would see that the organization supported him, and that there would not be more than four members of the City Committee opposed to him. “These gentlemen seem to have been dreaming.“ Koeln said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter. “I am for Judge Henry Lamm of Sedalia for the nomination, and that means that I shall do all in my power to bring about his nomina- tion, Claims Majority for Lamm. “I can tell you that the MoJimsey men have not anywhere near the strength they claim. Members of the committee have not given much atten- tion to the governorship so far, but at this time there are 16 committeemen who are for Judge Lamm. He will have 20 when the campaign is on. “It is possible that the McJimsey men will be able to get eight committeemen if McJimsey is a candidate. It is my opinion, however, that McJimsey, by filing time, will have realized the de- mand for Judge Lamm and will retire from the race. “The McJimsey men should give more attention to getting a candidate who can be elected, instead of devoting so much time to getting a candidate who will give them what they want in the way of State appointments in St. Louis. “The Republicans want to carry Mis- sourl. I have nothing against McJim- sey, but I do not believe McJimsey can even get all of the Republican votes in Missouri, The Republican who will be- come Governor will have to get not only all the Republican votes, but quite a lot of Democratic votes as well.

By Marguerite Martyn. dé S your suffrage movement a move- | ment of the working women or the bourgeoise?”’ This question was propounded to the speaker of the evening by a man in the audience. The audience was a gathering of aris- tocrats, judging by the illusion to the bourgeoise, say you? No, not so. A middle-class audience, then? No. though you might presume that, since the “bourgeoise” usually means the oth- er class, no matter who is speaking. I'll have to tell you. The question was propounded by a horny-handed son of toil—and conscious of it—and by ‘*hourgeoise’’ he meant all other classes, and particularly, I think, from the rather taunting tone of his utterance, the class to which he presumed the speaker of the evening belonged. Now, the speaker of the evening be- longed—she belongs in several places. She is a sociologist, and recently re- signed a position, one of the most re- sponsible in the city, for the practical application of her great learning in that direction, namely that of Municipal Rec- reation Commissioner. She is a member of almost evéry phllanthropięg organization in the city. She started as a Wednesday Club mem- ber and, I believe, continues that align- ment. And she was born within the ranks of aristocracy. In short, the speaker of the evening, as you may have surmised, was Miss Charlotte Rumbold. The meeting she was addressing was the Open Forum. Imagine Wednesday Clubbers being re- ferred to even by remote inference, as the bourgeoise! One must readjust one's mental atti- tude if one would be tn tune with the audience of which the young working- man was a fairly represe: tative type. When I tell you that the assemblage was in a dingy room, lighted by one aputtering arc, in the 2700 block on Franklin avenue, your readjustment doubtless is not greatly facilitated. You, whose activities in our downtown city life keep your steps confined to a narrow orbit of travel bounded on all sides by skyscraping office buildings, seldom see an audience such as this, un- less, perchance, you observe one that foregathers on the courthouse steps. Hastening by of an evening, you are aware of figures in the shadows of the solemn old columns. They seem almost human, because they talk, but are more a part of the dark visaged, grim, almost tragic-looking old building itself.

The Open Forum appears to have been founded by students of sociology in all walks of life. Roger Baldwin, Oscar Leopard, Sheri- dan Websgef and others of equally di- versified Opinions and allegiance, fre- quently hold forth here. A lot of them are from among the Russian Jews, who know their Kari Marx, Tolstoy, Emma Goldman, their German apd Russian and Scandinavian revolutionists by heart, al- though they toil in factories and live in the Ghetto. Red flags, I. W. W. placards, union labels, posters and cartoons adorning the walls indicate that no affiliation is too radical to be represented here. And the courthouse steps crowd is not behind the others in large theories nor backward at accepting the invitation to expound them. A popular detail of costume among the men in the Sunday night audience was a black or dark flannel shirt with occa- sionally a narrow white collar as con- cessions to the holiday. But one could not classify them ac- cording to their costume any more than to their numerous creeds and philoso- phies. The chairman was a tall, thin ascetic- looking young man, with thick eye- glasses pinching a Grecian nose, a tiny mustache decorating a sensitive mouth. and hair brushed flowingly back from a smooth, high forehead. He wore a well-worn, but well-brusned rough brown suit, a high collar of striped batiste and a large rose-colored tie. He had an unmistakably English ac- cent, looked like a poet and his name was Harold Varney! Another well-groomed young English- man named Reese, who talked a good deal, somebody said was an Oxford graduate, There was a nice, motherly, genteel-looking .old lady, who made a speech in favor of feminism. There were old men, with the faces of patriarchs, but so shabby for all their seeming wis- dom and intellectuality. One particularly shaggy-looking indi- vidual, with a delightful voice that had a Hibernian twist to it, arose to an- nounce that the I. O. I. H., popularly known as How's Hoboes, will shortly resume their meetings at Eleventh and Walnut streets.“ The chair recognized him deferentially THE LIVER AND THE BOWELS OSTETTER’S Stomach Bitters ditions throughout the system, and commented: “I have attended some meetings of the International Order of Independent Hoboes and found them very interesting.“ Foreign Traces in the Men MONG the younger auditors, par- A ticularly the women, a markedly Semitic cast of countenance pre- dominated. They were pretty, some of them, and in chic attiré, Dapper Amer- ican clothes did not so effectually ob- literate the foreign traces from the men, with their heavy black eyebrows, wonderful hair and prominent cheek and sawbones. But no difficulty with the English language kept any from rising and making a speech at every possible pause. Miss Rumbold was specially invited to address the Open Forum on Feminism ir. Its Broader Aspect.“ Having recent- ly returned from the East, where she took part in the suffrage campaign, Speaking in Massachusetts from Plym- outh Rock, marching in the New York parade and hobnobbing witi the intel- lectual modernists of Greenwich VII- lage and other famous groups, she was full of the subject assigned to her. She confided to me, however: 1d rather address a Wednesday Club audi ence any day, for I know I am in for a Frilling.“ Not long ago a young woman from California, a suffrage propogandist, never overlooking an opportunity, heard of the Open Forum. When she had con- cluded a speech, pitched as she intended to the level of the proletariat, a man arose in the back of the hall and re- marked: This lady who has been ad- dressing us either is lying to us or she is crazy.“ And his speech was calm and mild compared to what afterward happened verbally to the lady. She left a sadder, if not a wiser, speaker. Miss Rumbold was accompanied by several friends, among them Mrs. George Gelhorn, Mrs. Fischell and Miss Mary E. Bulkley. She further fortified herself and disarmed opposition by claiming not to set forth convictions, but the mere presentation of this sub- ject, feminism. Jam willing to be convinced of any thing,“ she said. She spoke of the fem- inist movement as a much broader man- ifestation than the suffrage movement, and of the fact that the plea for a vote being such a live issue, seemed to have obecured the more radical phage of the subject In America. “The suffragistse want to alter a law and the feminists are striving to alter conventions. And everybody knows it is more difficult to change conventions than it is to change laws, she said. With the attainment of the franchise there yet will be conventions for the feminists to fight, she thought. She mentioned the convention of man's right to a housekeeper when he marries one, and the convention against a wife's earning her own living. Married Woman's Position HE feminists regard the convention of the married woman's econom- le dependence as one of the ob- stacies to woman's freedom, she said. And the convention obtains im this coun- try In the face Of the statistical fact that one-half of all married women over ears of age are now Working for a living. She told of how, in Germany and Kun- Hand. the feminist theories were much more freely accepted and mere radical: of how. in Europe, diseatiefaction with marriage is as manifest as here. “tt ie a statistical fact,” said Mine Rumbold, “that every twelfth marriage im the United States ends in divorce. And it is a statistical fact that every twelfth child born in Germany is Ulegiti- | piece 1 io eae E 2.5 4 4 * mate. That the figures are the same is just a curious coincidence.” She told of Bismarck's early recogni- tion of woman's economic value, of the establishment of maternity insurance, of how, recently, since the war, the Ger- man Government was taking still more account of the unmarried mother. She spoke of the Mutterschutz. She remarked that for this audience she would not have to translate the term. But, perhaps, some of us—of the bour- geoise’’ will need to be told that the term has come to stand for that act of Ger- man law which provides for protection of mothers married and unmarried. The law has been brought into widespread usage and notice lately on account of the war babies.“ : “Many see the Mutterschultz as a radical tendency,”’ said Miss Rumbold, “and, in its outcome, free love, with motherhood relieved of its responsi- bility.”’ At the end of her speech the chair de- clared the subject open for discussion and questions. All the speakers proved to be Femininists, in more or less de- gree, but each had a different theory to offer as a solution of the woman prob- lem, and Miss Rumbold might have been convinced that out of unionism, of sin- gle tax, of anarchy, of Socialism, of in- dividualism, and a dozen other isms, Is to come woman's emancipation. The chairman seemed to know his audience and to be able to keep the dis- cussion within the bounds of relevancy.

Allen, 45 years old, an automobile repair man of 3442 Lindell avenue.

Spring Jr. of 6234 Von Versen av- enue. Spring told the police his auto had been destroyed by fire several weeks ago in Webster Groves, and that he did not know what had become of the U- cense tag. Allen at the police station admitted his machine had struck the Davidson boy. He said he found the license tag in Webster Groves, where he lives, and used it. He said he did not know it was against the law to use a number not belonging to him. The police also filed a complaint against Davidson of operating an auto- mobile without a license. Felonious flight is punishable by penitentiary sentence. tle man, suddenly aroused from a sound sleep, near the stove, demanded to be heard on the “initiative, the rifyrindim and the reca-a-a-il.” gu TRANGE to say, the last person S you'd expect to be anti-feminist in this more or less rough and rugged crowd, the delicate and roman- tic-looking chairman, proved to be Miss Kumbold’s most vigorous opponent. ‘The ideal of man’s relationship to- ward woman is that of protection, of husbandry and all the word enjoins,” said he. Now, feminism strives to cre- ate antagonism between the sexes. That ie not what enlightened radicals seek. We want to create a broader co-opera- tion. Woman can only be free in the only way that man can be free, which is through industrial freedom. One Way for her to help is for her to join him in his fight for freedom through unionism. But women come to unionism with ho conception of its spirit. I have seen them take men’s jobs in a way that if they were not women we would call thém scabs. . „Their family position of partial de- pendence enables them to do this, These feminists demand that they be allowed to break down the present system. Stil they want to enjoy the benefits of the system they repudiate. They are ut- terly inconsistent. If they. do not want tu maintain the present domestic system and its benefits, then it must be they want free love. Consistent feminism cau lead to nothing but free love.” The chairman, reserving himself for the last, used up the remainder of the evening and finally was speaking to empty chaira, s0 Miss Rumbold did not reply to him on inconsistency. Altogether she acquitted herself with remarkable ease. I tremble to think of the result if she had not been quick enough to grasp and occupy the point of view of the capable-looking young work- iungman who, with his significant glance at her Wednesday Club companions cas- ually divided all suffrage-seeking women into two classes—the working women and the bourgeoise. She Was Quick Enough UT Miss Rumbold was quick enough. 2 „We hope the suffrage movement includes all classes, she replied without a shade of question in her eyes. ————— — — — — — — — CATARBH GERMS EASILY KILLED Only Way to Cure This Disease Is to Destroy Ita Cause.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Fest- JEFFERSON City Dec. .- Supreme Court en banc today sus tained the contention of the State de- partment that a new corporation seeking a charter must pay a fee on all its capital, but it may have frus- trated the plan of Secretary Roach to collect $1,000,000 excess capital tax from corporations already licensed and doing business in this State. The details of Roach's plan to collect ad- ditional fees from existing corpora- tions were outlined by the Post-Die- patch several weeks ago. The decision today was against Charies J. Leppert and others who were secking to organize a $90,000 fur com- pany in St. Louis. The application for a license filed with the State Department showed assets aggregating $91,000. Roach held that the company must incorporate and pay a fee on the full amount, jn- stead of $50,000. The corporation law fixes a fee of 3 for the first $50,000 capitalization and % for each additional $10,000. The question of levying additional tax against accumulated capital by old cor- porations was injected into the case by the fur company which contended that if it was compelled to increase its cap- ital stock, no corporation would ever accumulate a surplus in the future. The Court held that the incorporation of a new company had nothing to do with the later accumulation of surplus, but touching on the other question, said: “After a company is incorporated the State does not concern itself with the manner in which it conducts its bual- ness whether successfully or other wise, provided it complies with the law.“ SAYS CHECKS SHE PASSED WERE MEANT TO BE | 0 U'S Nevada (Me.) “Voman Declares Father Will Redeem Paper She Signed With Friend's Name.

Martin is chairman. The report submitted to the Kxecutive Com- mittee yesterday was aa follows: “The giant Christmas tree for the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival at the the grove of mighty cedara on the farm of J, C. Whitsett of the Simmons Hard- Ware Co., near Catawissa. 8% miles southwest of St. Louls. Mr, Whitsett offered to supply the tree to the Bell Telephone Co., which has, as in former years, undertaken to obtain and trans- port the tree to the Coliseu Last year the big 40-foot cedar was secured at Cedar Hill, Mo., carried to the Coliseum on tne big auto truck of the Bell company. The task of carting the tree was tremendous, ow- ing to iee-covered roads. Glassy ice an inch thick covered the roads between Cedar Hill and St. Louis. The Bell com- pany had to send out an advance guard of mule teams to precede the automobile truck and sprinkle salt on the icy road- way. It took two days to carry the tree 2% miles to St. Louis. „This year the big tree will be carried on a flat car to the supply yards of the Bell company at Vandeventer and Chou- teau avenues, and from there will be taken by auto truck to the Coliseum. “The Bell company will send two rep- resentatives to Catawissa next Sunday to select the giant tree for the Post- Dispatch Festival. Mr, Whitsett says he expects to furnish one of the biggest trees ever seen at the Coliseum.’ Names His Committeemen. J. R. Cooke, chairman of the Finance and Audit Committee, has designated these members of that body: George J. Tansey, Hugo Koehler, Edw. F. Gol- tra, Charles P. Senter, J. B. Barroll, Harry B. Hawes, Walker Hill, W. J. Kinsella, H. W. Peters, A. O. Wilson, lL. T. Tune, R. S. Hawes, Sam D. Ca- pen, J. E. Smith, W. J. Bixby, G. H. Walker and Thomas H. West. In sending a check for $%, Alex Schu- mitzky of 66 Boyle avenue wrote: “Your work of this kind must be ap- preciated by everyone in St. Louis, and you should be able to make this Christ- mas festival the biggest you ever made. If I can do any work of any kind to help the festival I will thank you very much to let me know.“ Robert Wood McGilaway of 1614 Goodfellow avenue, is one of the youth- ful St. Loulsans prompt in responding to the suggestion of aid in good work. suring the summer season he is found in more than one affair for upbuilding the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, anc he is generally in the early list of contributors to the Christ- mas Festival hospitality fund. Acknowl- edgment of 10 cents from him appeared yesterday, in forwarding which he ex- pressed the hope that everyone in the city will be represented in the cause to the extent of at least the sum given by him. en for Dell Content. From inquiries received by the Post- Dispatch it appears that the under- standing as to prises of $5 in gold for each of the five best dressed dolls is not clear. The basis of awards is to be the best design of and most neatly con- structed costume. Character of mate- rials is not to be taken into account, as thie would be a handicap upon those who do not feel themselves able to pur- chase costly fabrics for the costuming. In placing the contest solely upon the basis of taste and skill in needlecraft it is the nearest possible approach to an even chance for everyone. MEN FIGHT OVER 15 CENTS, ONE IS STABBED TO DEATH Hucketer Killed by Man Whe Accused Him of Overcharging Woman for Two Rabbits. Louis Becker, a clerk, % years old, of 9008 Cass avenue, and John H. Althoff, 62, a huckster, of 2106 Mullanphy street. quarreled yesterday morning about the price Althoff had charged Mrs. Anna Lukowski of 310 Mullanphy street for two rabbits. Becker, a friend of Mrs. Lukowski, alleged that Althoff had charged 15 cents too much. About € o'clock last night the two men met in the saloon of John E. Mo- rische, 2101 Cass avenue, and renewed the quarrel. Althoff invited Becker out side to settle the dispute. When they reached the sidewalk Althoft punched Becker and Becker stabbed Althoff in the heart with a pocketknife. Althoff died instantly and Becker ran to the home of Mrs. Lukowski, where he waa arrested. AUTOS EXCHANGED BY MISTAKE Benjamin Cornbieet, living at the He- col G Arles, TH Walton avenue, left a cafe at Delmar boulevard and Euctid avenue with his party at 1 o’cleck this morning and stepped into what he drove off.

PUPILS STUDYING PARTS It Has Been Given Before in Same School and This Is First Objection Raised. A protest against the presentation of “The Merchant of Venice’ as a senior class play at Yeatman High School, voiced in an editorial in the current Is- sue of “The Modern View,” a Jewish periodical, will not interfere with the production of the play at the school on January 27 or 2.

Mrs. Gladys Sullivan, wife of John A. Sullivan, a salesman, of 4151 Shaw ave- nue, told the police today a highly dra- matic story of being held up in her au- tomobile by a masked, but unarmed highwayman at Tower Grove and Shaw avenues, shortly after midnight last night. Mrs. Sullivan said she had slowed down her machine at the Tower Grove crossing when a car passed in front of her and that a man came from the shad- ows and jumped on the running board, commanding her to stop. The robber, she said, wore a bandana handkerchief over the lower part of his face, but did not display a revolver. He told her to “shell out,” she said, and she offered him a $1 bill and then screamed. A man walking on the opposite side of the street was attracted by her screama, she said, and the pseudo robber hastily boarded a passing Vandeventer car. Mrs Sullivan said she was formerly an actress. She said she Was accom- panied in her machine by her negro maid and her baby, Victor, 10 months old, 4 PROVIDENT SOCIETY BRANCHES Four branch offices of the St. Louis Provident Association are now in opera- tion at the following locations: Bremen District, ui Mallinckrodt street; tele- phone Tyler 389; Ashland District, 4 North . owstead avenue, Colfax 708; Manchester District, 426 Gibson avenue, Grand 470; South District, n South Broadway, Sidney 3080.

Sister Susie saw stage stunts by sol- diers last night, when the First Regi- ment gave its war play at the Odeon. Brother Bennie and Cousin Clara and Uncle Uriah and Aunt Abigail were there, too, but one could hardly see them for the crowd. Honest to goodness, there Wasn't an empty seat, unless it was in some of the boxes, and the few box chairs that weren't taken were used for the parquet overflow. And the Odeon seats 1952 persons, as anyone can see by figuring out the diagram which was printed in the program. “The Littlest Rebel” was the show and it will be repeated tonight. It is a play of the old-fashioned sort of war. scopes, and when spies did their work on foot. It is a Civil War play, though it differs from other such dramas in the quality of its lovemaking. Instead of having a dashing Yankec Lieutenant win the heart of a proud daughter of Virginia, or a Pennsylvania girl casting the spell of her blue eyes over a Confederate Captain, this play has one heroine to whom everyone makes love, and who is entitled to all the affection and admiration she gets. Littlest Rebel Only 9, This is little Virgie, who was repre- sented on the stage by Peggy Unertl. Peggy is not only the littlest rebel, but the youngest stage star. She is 9 yeara old, going on 10, and this is her second season of professional appearances in St. Louis. The others in the cast were not pro- fessionals, but they have been through quite a repertoire of war drama in the last half-dozen years, and so, while still amateurs, are not amateurish. Col. A. B. Donnelly and Maj. Dick Gruner are customarily balanced against each other, end this time Donnelly takes the part of the Union Colonel and Gruner is the rebel scout. Mise Clara Niedringhaus, as the scout’s wife, was the only person playing a white woman's role, and her work, which came mostly in the early scenes, was pleasing. Miss Viola Goeke ap- peared in blackface as Sally Ann. Capt. Freen Nulen and Lieut. R. R. Reinholdt had slave parts. Gen. Grant in the last act. Cannonading Wakes a Raby. The first cannonading that was done had the result of waking a baby in the audience, and perhaps for this reason the shooting in later scenes was of a mild, popgun sort. There was a laugh in every one of those squibby little shots from the old Springfield rifles which the soldiers in blue—another old-fashioned detail—carried. The audience got an extra laugh, too, when a stone fence tripped one of the Sankees and went over with him, then snapped back into place. The orchestra played Maryland,“ Marching Through Georgia“ and more modern tunes, but it did not play 1 Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.“ The audience Would not have stood for it. DRESS UP Ciothing doesn’t make the man, but it helps our social and commercial stand- ing to be woll dressed; therefore, watch the merchants’ announcements in next Friday's Post-Dis ateh for the very latest in clothes, shoes, hats and haber- dashery. ! GERMANY KILLED OWN CAUSE HERE, FORMER ST, LOVISAN SAYS Siaking of Lusitania Committed With Lack of Understanding of American Spirit, Alexander Konta Declares. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.— The sinking of the Lusitania was worse than an atro- city; it was a blunder committed with total lack of understanding of the Amer- wan spirit.“ said Alexander Konta, in an address last night before the Hun- garian Relief Society. He is a wealthy native of Hungary, but has lived many yeara in St. Louis and this city. He referred to the Lust tania case as the blow that killed Ger- many'’s cause in this country, and with it that of her allles.“ „It ie one of our rights to cease work- ing in munition factories,” Mr. Konta sald in speaking of Hungarians, It ts not one of our rights to destroy machin- ery and endanger human lives, to con- epire against law and order.“ Dermasol Heals chapped hands and lips. “The Show 1914,” Shubert.

If Congress carries out President Wi- son's suggestion for a tax of 1 cent per galion on gasoline and a tax of 50 cents per horsepower on automobiles, made in the annual message to Congress yes- terday, St. Louis automobile owners would contribute about $271,335 annually to the Federal revenue, and Missouri auto owners would contribute about $1,- 234,497 annually. This would be in addi- tion to their State and city license tax. There are 16,362 automobiles in St. Louis and 176,257 in Missouri, according to the registration figures announced on Dec. 1 by the Secretary of State. A Post-Dispatch reporter talked automobile dealers and was told that 25 would be a fair average of the horse- power of automobiles. Ford cars have 20-horsepower, and it was said there were as many Ford cars as all other makes combined. Very few cars of 0 horsepower are being made, but there are a number of 90 and #-horsepower machines. With as the average horsepower, the federal tax proposed by the President on the horsepower of machines would be $12.50 a car. Dealers said the average annual mile- age of an automobile is 5000 miles. They figured a machine would run 10 miles on a gallon of gasoline. This would make the tax on gasoline, as applied to auto- mobiles, virtually a “mill-per-mile” tax, or $% a year for each 5000 miles tra- versed. The new federal tax on auto- mobiles thus would average abou? $15.60 a car. As the average city and state license tax is $5 for each license. the average annual cost to operate an automobile would be $27.8. Dealers wondered whether the tax, if levied, would be applied upon cars in stock, or simply upon cars that have passed into possession of individual own- ers. In the former case, they said, there would be an increase of 80 cents per horsepower in the sale price of ma- chines. They also were puzzied as to the effect of such a tax upon used cars. A num- ber of dealers believed such a tax, on used cars, would tend to quicken sales of used cars,.cspecially if the dealer had to pay a horsepower tax on used cars in his possession. Another phase of the proposed tax was whether it would be applied to commer- cial as well as to pleasure cars. A manager of the motor truck depart- ment of a firm using more motor trucks than any other concern in the city, said that he did not believe a horsepower or gasoline tax would be applied to com- mefcial cars. He said this distinction between the taxation of pleasure and commercial cars is general throughout other countries. NITROGLYCERIN IN CLOCK AT HEADQUARTERS WORRIED POLICE Department Members Breathe Easier When Detective Takes Bottle of Explosive te River. | Attaches at Central Police Station breathed with more ease than they had for several days, when a bottle of nitro- giycerin, which had reposed on the of- fice clock since last Saturday, was re- moved this morning. The City Chemist's office, after a test, had described the contents of the bottle ae 92 per cent nitroglycerin. The test consisted of dipping a straw into the bottle and then hitting the straw with When that was done there was a loud explosion and the hammer flew from the chemists’s hand and hit the ceiling. A detective was detailed to carry the bottle to the river. The explosive was taken from Charles Matthews of Birmingham, Ala., who was captured last Saturday morning after he had blown the safe of Schu- man’s Cafe in the Pontiac Bullding, Feventh and Market streets. Matthews told the police that he made the nitro- glycerin himself by boiling dynamite and straining the juice through a hand- kerchief.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Dec. 8.— Following are salient points of Theodore Roose- velt's analysis of President Wilson's address to Congress, contained in a 3000-word statement given out here: “What does Mr. Wilson mean when in one line he says that we have ‘stood apart, studiously neutral’ be- cause ‘it was our manifest duty to 10 so,” and a couple paragraphs later gays that we demand security in prosecuting ‘their self-chosen lines of national development for others?’ „He can take either of the two po- sitions: but he cannot take both. Did or did not Mr. Wilson demand secur- ity for Belgium to ‘prosecute its self- chosen lines of national develop- ment? He knows he did not. Then what does he mean by saying that ‘we demand this security also for others?’ “Again he says that we are ‘fiercely jealous of aggression from without.’ How did he show his ‘fierce jealousy’ as regards the aggressions on the Lusitania and Ancona? How has he shown his ‘fierce jealousy’ as regards the 60 or 70 soldiers wearing the American uniform, not to speak of the women and children and civilians, killed or wounded on American soil by Mexican bullets? Administration Secretive, He Says. “Three years ago Mr. Wilson said he believed in the policy of ‘pitiless publicity.” We have never had as se- cretive an administration. Mr. Wil- son's elocution and Mr. Wilson's ac- tion are in flat contradiction. His elocution is that of a Byzantine Logothete—and Byzantine Logothetes were not men of action. (The Century Dictionary says a Lo- gothete was an officer of the Byzantine empire who might be (a) the public treasurer, (b) the head of any admin- istrative department, or (c) the chan- cellor of the empire). President Wilson says that we havo been put to the test in the case of Mex- ico and have ‘stood the test’ and that we have applied a ‘heroic principle to the case of Mexico.’ Nearly three years ago Mr. Wilson refused.to recognize Huerta, on the ground that we were never to recognize a Government found- ed on violence. He then tentatively supported Villa, who represented the embodiment of violence, it being mean- while asserted on behalf of the admin- istration that under no circumstances | would we deal with Carranza, whose Government likewise was founded on violence. “The President has now eaten his words and recognized Carranza, and through his private secretary he has issued a defense of and apology for the ‘outrages committed by the Carranzis- tas and by the other bandits of the other factions in Mexico—outrages as in- famous as ever were committed by sav- ages anywhere under the sun—nuw uses the power of the United States to help one set of the bandits, responsi- ble for these infamies, against another set. This is Mr. Wuison's definition of heroic conauct. It is his conception of ‘standing the test.’ Preparedness Plan “Inadequate.” “In his present message President Wilson advocates as necessary certain propositions for putting this country in a state of preparedness to defend itself against foreign aggression. In his message one year ago he said such propositions were hysterical and improper. “I am glad that he has changed ! mind, but | am sorry that he has » taken tne troudie to study the subj. so as to make his proposals reasonab!. adequate to the country’s need. His pro- posed enlargement of the regular army is utterly inadequate. ‘We will not main- tain a standing army except for uses which are as necessary in time of peace as in time war.’ What ‘necessary use’ have our forts and our coast guns in time of peace?’ “It is the duty of this nation in time of peace to prepare for war, and it is no less the duty of this administration now in time of war to prepare for the industrial struggle that will follow upon peace. “The administration has done neither and is doing neither. The proposal to purchase ships by the national Govern- ment is a proposal to prevent private business undertaking the permanent re- vival of the American shipping trade. Wants Tariff Commiasion. As regards the tariff, Roosevelt again advocated that it be treated by a non- partisan commission of experta. “The message does not make clear ‘| what it leit anything—which the Presi- dent proposes in the way of iodustrial legislation or action.“ he continues. “The trouble with our business in this country today is that it must be trans acted at loose ends, largely because our business men, Whose first desire is 0 obey the law, have been and are in jeopardy lest some governmental off!- cial, national or state, may decide that they have disobeyed the laws, the laws themselves being often in hopeless con. flict with one another. “The President falls to make a singte constructive recommendation as re- gards industry. Our utter lack of pre- paredness to meet foreign aggression fs no greater than our utter lack of pre- paredness to meet the industrial crisis that will be upon us when thie war i« over. The President treats with utter inadequacy of one and not at all of the other. “The most noteworthy part of the mensa is that In which he says tha: the gravest threats against our nations! peace and national safety come from citizens of the United States born under tber fags. “But the remedy les in action such as Anérew Jackson took about nuilifica- tien, such ae Grover Cleveland took about anarchy In Chicago. “But ae a matter of fact.

Amerika of St. Louis: In evéry legal trial the defendant must be called by name, and the proof adduced on which the accusation is based. President Wil- son does neither the one nor the other. Why has he not the courage to say: I mean the Americans of German birth and descent? Why does he not step for- ward and say: These are the charges I prefer against you? German-Americans, the Amerika main- tains, are duty bound to protest against these “insinuations and accusations of disloyalty.“ New Yerk Staats Zeitung: The Presilent commands Congress: Those mystic criminals, who are charged with nebuloug things hitherto not recognized by our laws as punishable, must be “crushed.” And that is a presidential message to Congress! A document more shameless than this is not recorded in the annals of American history. New Yerker Herold: The attack made today by the highest official] of the country against the German- Americans demands a strong and vig- orous protest. German-Americais, guard your most sacred possessions! Your honor, your reputation, is being assailed before the whole country, Your loyalty is being doubted. Omaha Daily Tribune: It if surprising and much to be re- gretted that Mr. Wilson should so far forget the dignity of his august office as to join in the di+- tasteful tirades of a Roosevelt and the hollow phrases of cur pro-British press. Nothing is more dangerous and con- temptible than atirring up strife among the various elements of our complex population. Chicago Abend Pest: The Presiient charges citizens born under other flags with various unpardonable crimes against their Government and country and declares that such passionate, dis- loyal and anarchistic breaches must be crushed. Surely they should be, if there are any. But who are they and where did they come from? The President di: not say, and by this omission he put all foreign-born citizens under a cloud. Cincineati Volkabiait: To make up for submission to England, the Pres- ident jumps on our citizens of Ger- man extraction with both feet, branding them as outlaws, destroy- ers of property, conspiratorg and what not. It strikes us that the President, when he preached fairness, self-control and the duties of good citizenship, has himself a good deal to learn on these Hues. Xmas Greeting Cards With Bread.

Charles J. Sadler, d yeare old, of 191% College avenue, argued with a strange at Sixth and Morgan streets last nigh about President Wilson's annual: mes- sage to Congress. The stranger did not like some of the expressions used by the President, and Sadler told him that he ought to leave the country. The stranger hit Sadler on the head with a cane.

Republican political reasons in favor of St. Louis are potent. Missouri offers no Republican candidate for the presidency, as [linois does, but is excellent fight- ing ground. The State, by reason of the malodor- ous record of the State Democratic administration, is in the doubtful column. To capture Missouri again would be a signal Republican victory and would be influential throughout the entire Middle West. Chicago's influence might be powerfully exerted in behalf of the Illinois candidate and a convention there might seriously interfere not only with the legitimate chances of other candidates but with the sane councils of the party. The Republicans expect a reunion of the party text year. They expect to have a complete new deal between reconciled factions. For this pur- pose another convention located away from the associations, memories and influences of the bit- ter conflict of four years ago is desirable. St. | Louis is an ideal change. Before either party committee met our chance of obtaining the Republican convention was bet- ter than our chance of obtaining the Democratic convention. It ought not to be diminished by the Democratic committee’s action. We have the money and the argument. Preparations for one convention can be utilized for both. Let us make St. Louis in fact the con- vention —_ next year. = = i ie The New World and the Old World ao be perpetual friends. ee¢ - = HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND DIRTY BREAD The two Kansas Cities are going to get clean bread, wrapped before being taken through the streets. The Health Department of Kansas City, Kan., will begin a campaign this week to pre- vent the delivery of unwrapped bread, following the lead of the health authorities of Kansas City, Mo. : This suggests the question why the health au- thorities of every city, including St. Louis, should not show activity in the movement for clean bread? With the aid of the Health Department, the campaign for wrapped bread in St. Louis might be won. It is a question of public welfare end reasonable safeguards against infection. The two Kansas Cities point the way. - = - COMPENSATION LAW WILL COMB. A reader, commenting on a recent Post-Dispatch editorial, asks if we really believe the Missouri legislators will hearken to the moans and sighs of the maimed and the crippled and pass a com- pensation law this coming session.” It is not only possible but certain that, if the supporters of the workmen’s compensation idea profit by the past, a good law will be enacted. The defeat at the last session was not wholly due to neglect or opposition by the lawmakers. Two bills were introduced, neither of which was sat- isfactory. One was declared unreasonable by em- ployers, The other was opposed by labor because | it contained irrelevant matter which seemed to have been introduced for the purpose of making strikes impossible. If the forces working for compensation will get together and agree upon a reasonable measure, such as 80 of the states have enacted, there will be no further trouble. Missouri must have a com- pensation law. Her lawmakers are not heartless, but cannot be expected to settle outside wrangles over proposed bills. WHAT WILL ST. LOUIS DO ABOUT IT? The reasons why Keokuk Dam hydro-electric installation that had been powerfully supported by St. Louis money and St. Louis public opinion had failed us was made by the Post-Dispatch a sub- ject of exhaustive investigation in the weeks suc- , | ceeding the dedication. The results were set * | forth in a series of articles printed in October, 1913, and in succeeding months. The chief ex- posure was made in an elaborate article in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of October 19, 1913. The world’s lately printed in the St. Louls press, had been pub- lished long before by the Post-Dispatch and had been made the subject of vigorous and {lluminat- ing comment. The only scrap or vestige of new testimony made available in more than two years was contained in the Post-Dispatch article last Sunday confirming former statements as to the graft of the transformer company and bringing up to date details as to its ownership and opera- tion. The time of research and preparation is ended. The time for action has come. All the informa- tion requisite to public judgment Was long set forth by the Post-Dispatch in voluminous, abso- lutely trustworthy form. What will St. Louis do about it? THRESHING OUT TRAITORS. Denouncing disloyalty to their adopted country by foreign-born citizens and urging legislation to enable the Government to restrain and punish those who conspire against our honor and inter- ests, the President said in part: I am sorry to say that the gravest threats against our national peace and safety have been uttered within oyr own borders. There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit, born under other flags, but welcomed under our generous naturalization lawe to full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyaity into the very arteries of our national life; who = have sought to bring the authority and good name of our Government inte contempt, to destroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindictive purposes te strike at them and to debase our politica to the uses of foreign intrigue. * * * : 0 There are some men among us and many residents abroad who, though born and bred in the United States and calling themselves Americans, have so forgotten themselves and their honor as citizens as to put their passion- ate sympathy with one or the other side in the great European conflict above their re- gard for the peace and dignity of the United States. They also preach and practice dis- loyalty. * * * Such creatures of passioh, disloyalty and anarchy MUST BE CRUSHED OUT! They are not many, but they are infinitely malig- nant and the hand of our power should close over them at once. They have formed plots to destroy, they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the Government, they have sought to pry into every confidential transac- tion of the Government in order to serve in- terests alien to our own. This form of disloyalty is new. As the President remarked, “America has never witnessed anything like this before.“ The issue is made, not against the President on account of his fidelity to American interests, but by the President against disloyal conspirators. We need not ask where all true Americans will stand on this issue. We believe the great mass of citizens of foreign origin will stand with true Americans for their adopted country. The thresh- ing has begun. Americans of all origins must get together to prevent anything like this from ever being witnessed again. The Colonel’s denunciation of the President as a Byzantine Logothete is almost unpatriotic. W r THE POOR LODGER! Inhospitable Alton announces that no “repeat- ers“ will be welcomed as lodgers in the eity jail. Unless he commits an offense, the poor devil who has been driven by cruel night winds to shelter in the jail will find its comforts withdrawn after one night, and be advised significantly to “move on.” Moving on means this way for some whom hard luck and the hard winter have overtaken— hard winter, we say; for it is a hard season that drives any man to sleep in a cell. Any respectable man who has glimpsed the in- side of our police headquarters on a cool night will almost be tempted to give thanks that there are such kindly institutions. Yet to be thankful for jails—what a commentary that is upon the world we live in! That more men come and ask to be locked up than are arrested—that a jail often shelters more pauperism than perversity—is a fact affording an intimate inside view of the industrial and social perplexities. There are “repeaters” among the lodgers In the St. Louls holdover, and the Samaritan Sergeant regards them by no means unsympatheti Let St. Louis play its part of host to the unfortunate this winter, providing municipal lodgings to the extent of its capacity, remembering that hard never cease for some, and that the poor we have with us always. EX SENATOR BOURNE’ S MOAN. Ex-Senator Jonathan Bourne Jr. has issued a statement in which he denounces President Wil- gone attack on the insidious lobby and moans that it has driven “business men” from Washing- ton and deprived Congress of their counsel in legislation. What, indeed, will Congress do without the kind business men of the Textile Trust te write the cotton and wool schedules of the tariff for it? How can Congress pass an ordinary revenue bill without representative American business men of ithe Steel Trust to tell it how much to soak the . „n 5 . ae oe: 1 . renn 1 ty “4 e 4 1 * as non K * 4er N A 2 2 1 ¥ “ 25 = ath, 1 7 4 rs 8 Saher I. . 5 ot i hy 0 " 1 1 — 4 N > ae 5 2 hy. a eb ee 4 Aes — * . e 2 * ¥ ee ey oe hae ’ PA. 4 W — „ N 2 33 * * Ie RY ers — PITS Wes oe Marat ee’ x . we Pies e 2 5 2 8 4 4 : * 0 ; N „ a * 3 bs os J * * . + . : > 9 „ nS THE FIRST VICTIM? * * 2 eae — — OE — — — ong — Ü—— — — — — * — — .

One day the father was going to town with a load of apples. ‘*Oan’t I go, pap?’’ the boy asked. „No, the father responded. 'n be good, pap. I won't say a word, said the boy.

You see, it's four years since I left Hopeton, a little town in Southwestern Illinois.” “Folks expecting to see you, I sup- pose?” suggested the chatty bank man. “N-oo,” and the animated face of the speaker shadowed somewhat. “You see, I was brought up in Hopeton, an orphan. I left there determined to make a start in life, go back and feel a pride tn showing my old friends that I had made a man of myself. I suppose most of them have forgotten. There may be one“ “Your girl, I bet!“ joked the cash- er. a “I wish she was!" declared Austin Morse, expansively—"“but, no, I can't hope that. I knew her, liked her and we were friends, and between you and me it was half on her account I left Hopeton, although I never told hoer so. She was poor and so was I. My big dream was to seek outside better opportunities for getting ahead and then going back with a fortune.”: | “But she’s waiting for you!” en- couraged the breezy bank man. “How I hope it!“ voiced Morse, longingly. “See that?” and he lifted hie watch from his pocket. Attached to ite fob was a locket, common enough, but to its center there was soldered a tiny lump of virgin gold. “My first luck out here was finding that bit of metal and a lot more like it,” narrated Morse. “I've worn it for over three years on that locket and inside—say,”’ Morse interrupted him- self as his auditor smiled slightly, “do you wonder I sometimes dream of the girl I did it all for—look!” The Journey Homeward. opened the locket. A fair face showed—sweet, innocent, captivat- ing. „1 don’t wonder,” voiced the bank man sincerely. “Good luck, old man!

Mostly his thoughts vere of Helen Warren. He recalled former conversations, her smiles, the Klances of her eyes. Then he would look at the picture in the locket. It was one he had surreptitiously obtained from the village photographer. He had not sent a letter to Helen during his exile. Many a missive he had begun, but it had end- ed in a shrinking sense of unworthiness and the friendly lines, budding with a more tender regard, had never met the eyes of Helen. It was during the last stage of his journey that Morse made a discovery that led him to change his route, At a junction where there was a change of cara he had just time to shake hands with a man he had known in Hopeton and propound an eager inquiry. “By the way,” were his words, “you remember Miss Warren? What became of her?” ‘ “Oh,” was the hasty casual response, “she left Hopeton to live with a relative in Belleville three years ago.” Morse did not therefore go to his na- town.

Her hand even lingered in his own, and there was unmistakable admiration in her glance for the bronzed, stalwart, manly figure he presented. “Your little daughter coaxed the lock- et from me,“ began Morse, in an em- ba rrassed way. “You mean my niece, Mr. Morse,“ ‘corrected Helen.

I went for a ride in the park this after- noon and I noticed a girl on a bench crying as though her heart would break. She was rather pretty, and was soon to become a mother—very soon. I asked her name, and she told me her story. Her name was Clara Mullen; she had been a stenographer.“ I hurried on, de- termined he should at least hear me out. “She told me she had always been a good girl until“ „Did she know who you were!“ Has- kall’s voice sounded muffled, but I paid no attention. I was too intent on my story. “Why, yes. I brought her home with me. I gave her some of the baby things I made for’—my voice broke. “Then I took her to the hospital. Her stepfather will do nothing for her. And, Haskall, I want to look out for her un- til she Is able to work again. Will you give me some money for her!“ “Did you ask the girl about the man?“ „es, and she wouldn't tell me. Be- came hysterical and said she’d never tell. f I imagined I heard a sigh, thought he was going to refuse. “I am so lonely, Haskall, and I do s0 want to help this girl,“ I pleaded. “How much do you want?“ I was so astonished I could scarcely speak. “Tt will cost $25 a week, with no ex- tras.” “Haskall Gives Me $200.” E put his hand in his pocket and H took out a roll of bills. Although he never allowed me money, he always carried a large amount. He took off two yellow-backed notes and threw them across the table. I gasped when I took them up. Two hundred dollars! “If that isn't enough, why let. me know.“ Haskall replied, as We rose from the table. He didn’t speak to me again that evening.

I took a little or- phan boy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very ill and a bad cough set in so that he coughed night and day. and 11115 Drummond. I found Clara gazing wistfully at me, and one day I told her of my boy whom I never saw; who had been born dead. She wept softly while I told her my sad little story, but protested when I said I almost envied her. “Oh, no, no! Mrs. mustn’t!’’ She was soon able to be moved, 80 one day I took the car and rode out to a little place in New Jersey where an old woman who had helped nurse my mother lived. Mrs. Gray was a kindly old Boul and, I hoped, would take Clara and her boy to board until Clara should be strong enough to work. She fell in with my plan at once. I told her only what was necessary and agreed to pay for whatever was needed to make them comfortable. Then I took them to her and saw them comfortably settled before I again mentioned the subject to Haskall. ‘Well, I guess you have done all that's necessary,“ he remarked. But you don’t object to my visiting them, do you, Haskall?’’ He had been 80 generous that I would not go against his wishes unless it were necessary. “Her baby is so cunning I have grown quite fond of him.“ “No! Why should I object? But I don't see why you want to waste any more time on them.“ Clara and Baby Disappear. WAS particularly careful not %> annoy Haskall at this time, and whenever I visited the little town in New Jersey I invariably was at home before he arrived. Sometimes I told him of my visit, oftener not. Then one day, without warning, Clara and her baby disappeared. When 1 went as usual to see her Mrs. Gray gave me a letter. “Dear Mrs. Burroughs,” I read. “I am almost well, so I am going away, before all the money you gave me is gone. You have been so good to me that it almost breaks my heart not to see you again. But it is because yo: have been so good that I don’t leave my address. I shall never do wrong again. Do belleve me, dear Mrs. Burroughs. I couldn't because of you.

By Mrs. F. j } NE day the wife of a poor man caught a mouse in a wire trap. She took it to a pall of water to drown it, when, to her surprise, the mouse spoke to her. “Good madame,” it said, “I am an enchanted mouse and have in days gone by been a Prince. I hope some day to come into my own again. Give me life and you will never regret it.” “If you will promise never to take the bread and cheese in my pantry again,“ said the wife, “I will grant your request. “That I will,” sald the mouse, and promise to keep the other mice away also.“ So the wife opened the trap and the mouse ran into a big hole in the wall. What are you doing?” asked her husband, who came in at that moment. When the wife told him what the mouse had said he was very angry. “Why did you not make a wish?“ he said. “If it is an enchanted mouse he can grant anything, and here we are living in this old hut and I never in all my life had enough tobacco to fill my pipe. Call him back and wish that I may have a comfortable home and a full pipe.“ So the wife went called: “Mouse, mouse, pray come to me, I have a favor to ask of thee.” The mouse put its head out of the hole and asked: What do you want of me!“ “IT caught you in a trap,“ sald the wife, “and let you go without wishing. My husband says I should have wished and that he is tired of living in this hut. He wishes a comfortable home and a full pipe.“ “Very well,“ said the mouse, close your eyes, turn around three times and then open your eyes and you will have the wish.“ | when she opened her eyes there was her husband sitting in a large easy chair smoking a pipe. „See, he said, “isn’t this better than the poorly furnished hut we lived in, and I have a full pipe, too.“ Tes, replied the wife, we should be content now, for we shall be warm in the winter in a house so well built.“ But one day later the husband said: “Wife, go to the mouse and tell him if he is a Prince in disguise he can just as well build us a handsome castle.“ But, husband.“ pleaded the wife, we are comfortable here, what more do we need?“ Do as I tell you,” said the husband. So the wife went to the hole in the pantry wall and called: “Mouse, mouse, pray come to me, I have a favor to ask of thee.” What is it?” asked the mouse, put- ting his head out. My husband wishes a castle,” she said; he is tired of living in a small house.“ “Close your eyes, turn around three times, and then open your eyes,” said the mouse, and you will have your Wish.“ The wife did so and when she opened her eyes she did not know where she was, everything was so beautiful, but her husband came and took her by the hand and led her through the large rooms. “Isn't this better than the small house?” he asked her. “I shall never be comfortable here,” sald the wife, it is far too grand for me. 8 hueband, and one day he said: “IT should Uke to be an Emperor and rule a country; go to the mouse and ask him to grant it.“ “But I do not want to be an Em- press,“ said the wife, “pray do not ask it, and, besides the mouse is only a Prince in his own right; he could not grant such a wish.” “Do as I tell vou,“ said the husband, to the hole and HE wife did as the mouse sald, and UT even this did not satisfy the — — — —— —u———ñ— — — STOP DANDRUFF!

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ‘WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1915. ~ REORGANIZATION He Undertakes to Show That His Opposition Is Not Based on Personal Disappointment. RB. F. Yoakum, former chairman of the board of directors of the Frisco rall- road, who is opposing the plan of reor- ganization submitted to the Missouri Public Service Commission by the bank- ers representing the reorganization com- mittee, gave a Post-Dispatch reporter teday an interview in which he sets forth his objections to the plan, and de- clares that his objections are not based upon personal disappointment because he Was not included as a member of the board and Executive Committee. The supporters of the bankers’ plan of reorganization have charged that Yoakum was fighting the reorganiza- tion scheme solely because it had been made impossible for him to become the dominant factor in the new railroad company. When his attention was called to this charge, Yoakum said: “This statement, as made, has given the wrong impression. As late as Oct. 12, 1916, there was some telegraphic cor- respondence between Col. Sam Fordyce, Festus J. Wade, Judge Henry S. Priest and Albert T. Perkins and Mesars. Spey- er of Speyer & Co. and Strauss of Se- ligman & Co. of New York, bankers, in which this statement appeared: “"*While it was not agreed they now urgently recommend that B. F. Yoak- um be invited to become a member of the board and Executive Committee of the new railroad company, provided, of course, he joins with all of us and makes no objection to the plan.“ “To this suggestion of my St. Louis friends, Mr. Speyer, on Oct. 13, in a tele- gram to them said: ‘If Yoakum‘will de- posit his stock as provided in plan and heartily support same, and wishes to be member of board and Executive Committee, we shall use our influence to have him elected.’ Wants Facts to He Known. merely give this information that all the facts may be known, and I wil! say that my relations to the property. do not influence me in working out an equitable and fair adjustment in reor- ganising the Frisco. The membership of the board and Executive Committer does not mean the chairman of the Executive Committee, as the chairman, president and all officers are elected by the board of directors. “To clarify the situation, I will say that in the latter part of March, this year, personally and through my coun- sel, I accepted in writing the outline of the plan, with the suggestion that I made that the form of securities which the stoekholders. are to get, which is a gen- eral lien 5 per cent bond as against junior securities which the plan origi- nally provided. This was accepted by the bondholders and is now the basic principle of the present plan. “At that time, after the plan was in the hands of the Bondholders’ Commit- tee for two or three months, tt was changed without my or my counsel's knowledge, with the objectionable fea- tures injected, and any question as to my eennection with the property was vor discussed or thought of unt months after I had accepted the rian in writing both personally and through my counsel, which is conclu- sive that no personae ambition on my part constitutes a reason for my ob- ections. J ; ~ he reorganization of the Frisco is a matter of more than passing importance, not only to all classes of security hold- ert, but the public which the road server, Importance of System, “St is useless for me to state to the people of the Southwest the interest I feel in the reorganization of a property} which I have created within the past W years. It is equally useless for me to refer to the importance of the rela- ons of the Frisco from a business standpoint to the commercial center like St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis and other distributing towns, where, over ite rails, rolls in millions of dollars daily from the business which has been created through the construction of this syetem of lines. “We must not overlook the fact that there are two factors that enter into thie subject, which remain forever, the raliroad and the public. The railroad must serve the public for all time in a manner satisfactory. “The principle of working closely with communities has been one of the strong points of the Frisco since its early days of onstruction. The biggest unset- tied economic question of the day 16 transportation, which question is grow- ing in the minds of thinking people, in- cluding producers, manufacturers and bankers—all beginning to realize that property values and earnings are the basis of railroad prosperity and credits. “My objections to the plan of reor- ganigation, as submitted to the Public Service Commission, are 2783 if ; F ‘ cellent financial condition both for tak- ing care of its cash and reorganization requirements and giving it a working fund of about $6,000,000, Other Features Injected. “The theory of my plan remains as the sound. feature of the plan of reorganization submitted, but unfor- tunately there have been injected into it other features, to which myself and others cannot agree. One of the changes from the original, initialed un- derstanding is the privilege of convert- ing the & per cent income bonds into 6 per cent preferred stock, which creates an additional burden against the prop- erty, when earned, as well as against the public, of $385,000 a year, without ad- ditional value or advantage to the p-op- erty. “The plan contemplates the creation of a voting trust, which deprives stock- holders of any right given them under the laws of the State of Missouri. “In every suggestion made by me. both personally and by letter, I have always been mindful of the rights of the bondholders, and my sole purpose has been to heip bring out a plan which would be fair and equitable to the bond- holders, creditors and stockholders, but such a plan should be made upon broad, comprehensive lines, and made with a view of not unduly burdening the pub- ic with obligations which, in the final analysis, must be paid from the earnings of the company through the patrons of the railroad. “The Frisco property is one of the greatest in the Southwestern group. It will forever serve the public. It has been one of the greatest factors in the development of the Southwest and my relation to it in the future is a matter of minor importance. What it needs and must have is reorganization on a | before the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, following the failure of the Frisco, that Yoakum had been person- ally interested in syndicates which built and sold to the Frisco numerous small feeder lines in the Southwest. The profits that Yoakum made as a member of the syndicates were the subject of considerable controversy and criticism, and also some litigation insti- tuted for the purpose of compelling him to restore to the railroad company such money as he had made in this way. The litigation was afterwards dropped. D — Good Health in Old Age Brings Much Happiness Simple Remedy Promotes Health by Overcoming Tendency to Conatipation. of the vital organs.

John L Beggs, a director of the North American Co. and its subsidiaries at St. Louis, the United Railways and Union Electric companies, contradicted recent testimony by officials of the lat- ter corporations last night by asserting the Keokuk dam contract was not a bur- den on the local utilities. Beggs asserted aiso in testifying be- fore an investigating committee of the Board of Aldermen, that the Laclede Gaslight Co. was foolish in 1900 to have repudiated its contract for Keokuk cur- rent, and that the contract price was one-half the price paid at the time by the Laclede to Union Electric. When the investigators called to the atten- tion of Beggs the fact that the new owners of the Laclede, having just pur- chased the gas company from the North American, decided to throw off the Keo- kuk contract on the advice of five engi- neers who said the price of Keokuk power was too high, Beggs began a t. rade on college educated engineers and repeated his declaration that the La- clede officials had been foolish. A. C. Einstein, vice-president and gen- eral manager of the Union Electric, tes- tified recently before the Aldermanic Committee that the Keokuk contract was a burden of about 2 mills per kilo- watt hour on the Union, which meant in 1914 the Union wasted about $260,000 in excess charges on the 126,000,000 kilowatt houfs it took from the Electric of Mis- souri. Richard McCulloch, president and gen- eral manager of the United Railways, a son-in-law of Beggs, testified recently also that the United Railways paid about $231,000 more at 6.4 mills under its Keo- kuk contract in 1914, than it would have cost to generate the same current in a modern steam-generating plant of prop- er capacity. Beggs testified last night that after the Keokuk contract was arranged with the United Railways, about a dozen generating plants operated by the trac- tion company in various parts of the city were scrapped. Says Plants Were Obsolete. When asked if these plants were not scrapped because the Keokuk contract had been created, Beggs sald they were not scrapped for that reason, but be- cause they were obsolete and not eco- nomical. McCulloch testified to the same effect previously, and said the two remaining generating stations which the United Railways maintains are so anti- quated in type that it costs upward of 1 cent per kilowatt hour to generate current in them. This high cost, Mo- Culloch admitted, was partly due to the fact that the two plants are operated only for a few hours daily, during the peak period, when the maximum car service is being rendered. The Post-Dispatch, in October, 1913, a few months after the Keokuk dam was put in operation, published an expose of the 99-year contracts which the North American had fastened upon its St. Louis subsidiaries. In this expose, it was shown that the Initial price to be paid by the local com- panies was nearly % per cent in excess of the then cost of generating energy by the use of coal, although Congress had granted a charter permitting the damming of the Mississippi River on the assertion of promoters that it meant cheap electricity for the upper Mississippi Valley that would be a great boon and would stimulate the growth of population. Price Never Cheaper. In 1913, the Post-Dispatch pointed out Also that under the terms of the Keokuk contracts the price of current should be adjusted every 10 years, to follow the trend of coal prices, so that it never could become cheaper than the cost of generating by coal. In the readjustment, the water-power energy shall be increased in price, pro- portionately as the price of standard coal in the Llinolse mines shall rise above $1.42 per ton, the price in 1908 when the contracts Were executed. It is stipulated also that the price shall be decreased proportionately as the price of Illinois standard coal may fall. but it ts Agreed generally that the trend of coal prices will be upward as the felds are gradually exhausted, under the law of supply and demand. Resume Published Sunday. The Post-Dispatch last Sunday, after the Keokuk dam haa been in operation two full years, published the firat resume of the facts regarding ite actual opera- tion. Im this article it was shown that the North American Invested $1,296,560 in plant aud transmission Unes of the in termediary corporation, which collects the tolls on Keokuk current that enters St. Louis. The toll corporation collects annually trom United Raflways and Union Electric $1,410,1%, and pays to the Keokuk dam company, owned and operated by Boston and foreign residents, $1,078.20. The Fross earnings of the toll company are, therefore, $331,000 a year, approximately, out of which it paid operating expenses, (axes and set aside for depreciation last delved into to any considerable ex- tent while North American represen- tatives were on the stand. In the two months during which weekly hearings have been conducted. Questioned by Schwartz. Alderman Barney L. Schwartz, chairman of the committee, was the only member to put questions to Beggs last night, and Beggs declined to answer practically all of these queries on the ground that Schwartz put them in the form of statements to which he asked the witness to sub- scribe. Beggs said repeatedly, “I thank you for the information,” when Alderman Schwartz would put a question in this form. Beggs held the stand from 8:30 until 10:30 and devoted most of the time to criticising the lack of enterprise and civie pride in St. Louis, and to deciar- ing that the Keokuk contract was ad- vantageous to the local utilities. Beggs asserted that St. Louis had dis- appointed the North American Co., which had invested its millions tn local utilities some years ago in the expecta- tion that the city would grow at the rate of at least 6 per cent a year. He Criticises St. Louisans. He said the citizens waste time talk- ing about the railroad bridge arbitrary when they have not induced a single manufacturer of fabrics to locate here on the edge of the greatest cotton pro- ducing territory in the world. The cot- ton could be shipped in without cross- ing a toll bridge, Beggs said, and if it were Bt. Louis would become the queen city of the Middle West, as it ought to be. Beggs said he had no use for the opin- lons of college-bred engineers who were quoted by the committee and news- papers regarding the organization and practices of public utilities. “The colleges are turning these engi- neers out by the regiment,” said Beggs. “and if President Wilson would recrui: them, he could easily supply his entire continental army by this means, You can have the services ot these figure WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1915. ~ wrestlers for $% a month, but the serv. ices of a man of commen sense are worth $10,000 in comparison.” Beggs also took occasion to dispute & story published in afternoon papers yes- terday to the effect that he bad de murred attending the committee meeting pound night, when subpenaed, until. Wii- liam G. Mathews, negro Sergeant-at- Arms of the Board of Aldermen, in- tormed him that he was subject te ar reat if he failed to respond. Denies Stery of Threat. Mathews told reporters that when he served the summons on Beggs at the of fices of the St. Louis Car Co,, 80 North Broadway, Beggs deciared he had j important business in Milwaukee and must leave last night in order to be at Milwaukee Wednesday morning. Beggs told the committee chat the re- porters who wrote such a story “were liars,” and that no threat of arrest could have induced him te attend the committee meeting if he had not been willing to attend. He said also that Mathews was very polite in serving the notice and did not threaten to arrest him. The committee will continue its inves- tigation into the feasibility of a m. nicipal lighting plant at St. Louis Tues- day at 8 p. m. CLAIMS COMMUTER RECORD R. H. Thompson of 224 Gray avenue, Webster Groves, secretary of the J. A. Holmes Lumber Co., claims the dis- tinction of being the oldest commuter on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, in point of years of travel. Thompson is @ years old. He began “commuting” at the age of 16. He has a ticket dated Sept. 30, 1882, and says he has other records to show that he commenced riding these trains as early as 1871. Thompson estimates that at an aver- age of $% a month, for 4 years, he has spent $284 for fare. The fare now is $1.10 for a 10-ride ticket. When Thomp- son first began riding the fare was about $10.a month. r — — — — — The Newest Discovery in Chemistry. This is a recent discovery of Doetor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buf- falo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce’s Hospital for several years proved that there is no other elimina tor of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation—as back- ache, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply won- derful how surely ‘‘Anuric’’ acts. The best of results are always ob- tained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accompany the disease rapidly disap- pear simply ask for a 50-cent package of Anurie“ manufactured by Dr. Perce, or even write Dr. Pierce for a free sample. If you suspect kidney or blad- der trouble, describe your symptoms to him. Dr. Pierce’s chemist will ex- amine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you without fee or charge. NOTE:—‘‘ Anuric’’ ig thirty-seven times more active than lithia in elimi- nating uric acid, and is à harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actu- ally wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box—or more in extreme cases as ‘‘Anuric’’ (thanks to Doctor Pierce’s achievement) is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder cor- rector obtainable.—Advertisement. . _s «= * * * 9 a ae h A n 88 . . 2 tab. 0 — . 8 8 n | 5 2 use it.

JARR had come home with @ bad cold and as a prospective invalid was an object of great in- terest to Mrs. Jarr, who had searched the medicine closet in the bathroom and had brought forth a formidable array of medicine bottles in seeking drugs end-letions that might be used upon her patient. There is a superstition in the feminine mind that all medicine is good until used. The careful observer will note that the good housewife will rid the household of old clothes, old furniture, old carpets, but never old medicines. Medicines are supposed to contain prop- erties that keep them fresh forever. Mr. Jarr had been dosed with several sorts of stale medicines and had been put to bed, with several more bottles of the left-over concoctions close at hand, to be taken in the morning. Morning was now at hand and Mrs. Jare approached the sufferer's bedside, having been up early to concoct him a broth—supposedly good for the sick, as no man in his strength would partake of it. „Did you take your. medicine this morning?” asked Mrs. Jarr, as she pulled down the window shade to make the ace nice and gloomy, No, I didn't!" said Mr. Jarr. “What you made me take last night burned me fneide. and kept me awake, It wasn't cough medicine; it was rheumatism lin! went, and I know it.” Mr. Jarr groaned at the thought, and feobdly asked that the window shade be raised a little that he might not die in the dark.

Mra. Jarr’'s keen ear caught the woris from where she stood in the front room. At ian't a fire!“ she snapped, “It's Mrs, Stryver. She is wearing one of the new crinoline dresses, and she looks like a balloon.” Mr. Jarr groaned and turned over, and Mrs. Jarr left the conning tower and returned to the sickroom. he looks like a fright,” she con- tinued. “She has four inches of fur om the bottom of the skirt.” “Oh, rats!“ sald the invalid, fer- vently. “Not rats,“ replied Mrs. Jarr. No- body is wearing rats this year, not even in their hair. It's either skunk or beg ver.“ Mr. Jarr laughed a hollow laugh, he knew not why. Mrs. Jarr noted the hollow laugh with some asperity.
