SUGAR AD HAS A‘STRING TO IT Grecer’s Customer Tells Complaint Board When He Has to Buy Other Goods to Get Bargain. An unusual “kick’’ was made to the Municipal Complaint Board today when A, Young of 9% South Boyle avenue asked for official action against a gro- cer who, he said, was circulating mis- leading advertisements. In his letter to the board, Young said the grocer circulated handbills saying he.would sell 20 pounds of sugar for $1. When Young went to the store he said he was told he could not have the sugar at the advertised price unless he bought other groceries. Secretary Marsh of the complaint board referred him to the po- lice, as such matters do not come under the board’s jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Indications are strong this afternoon that St. Louis will capture the Republican national convention. The boosters from St. Louis, headed by Mayor Henry W. Kiel and National Committeeman Thomas K. Niedringhaus, spent today working among the National Committeemen who have reached the city to attend the meeting of the National Committee to- morrow. A majority of the members of the committee are in Washington and a poll taken by the St. Louis contingent indicates that the Missouri metropolis will receive the honor of entertaining the Republican hosts. Indications are that St. Louis will show a strength of at least twenty votes of the 68 in the committee on the first ballot, While several votes will be cast for San Francisco, merely as a compli- meiit to the Western city, the St. Louis- ans are confident the strength of San ‘Francisco will go to them on the second ballot, and that the choice will be made at that time. Chicago is not nearly as hopeful of landing the Republican convention as its representatives seemed to be in securing the Democratic a fie ment Used With Com eemen. yunaet Representative Bartholdt of St. Lo in sizing up the situation, said today: “If such prominent Demo- crates as Speaker Clark and Senator Reed told the Democratic committee its meet- ing should go to St. Louis if the Demo- crats hoped to carry Missouri in the next election, there is more reason that the Republican committee should se- lect St. Louls for our gathering, Mis- sourt ‘9 a doubtful aged i ty fa Republican convention shou oT test wire “we can “‘tand next : Nias Was asap Younger Fire- ! man Fatally Injured in Srnta | Ke Wreck in California.

TATE WARRANT JITNEY DRIVER, ARRESTED 9 TIMES Ernest Borchers to Be Prosecuted Under Law Making Workhouse Sentence Possible. A State warrant charging careless driving was issued today against Ernest Borchers of 3619 Cass avenue, who has been arrested six times for speeding and three times for other traffic violations since May 19 last. Borchers’ latest arrest was at 6:30 yes- terday, when motor cycle policemen overhauled his jitney at Lindell boule- vard and Taylor avenue. They charged him with running 27 miles an hour on a dangerously wet and slippery street. The case at first was docketed for Judge Hogan’s Police Court, but when Pélice Chief Young learned of the ar- rest he ordered that a warrant be ap- plied for under a law which makes it possible to send a speeder to the work- house. When the case was called in Police Court Borchers asked for a continuance to next Thursday. This was granted. Because of the State warrant having been issued the Police Court case probably will not be prosecuted further. .Borchers’ last conviction was in Judge Hogan’s court Nov. 7, when he was fined $500. He appealed to the Court of Criminal Correction. Judge Clark of' that court reduced the fine to $25 last Thursday. In reducing the fine Judge Clark said he did not believe the record of previous arrests should be made the sole basis for assessing a large fine and that each case should be tried on its own merits. The penalty under the warrant issued today is $500 fine or six months in the workhouse, or both. Warrant Out for Auto Driver Who Hit Woman. Assistant District Attorney Thomas issued a warrant this afternoon against John Stapf, 56 years old, of 3615 Sidney street, charging him with felonious wounding. Stapf’s automobile Saturday night ran into Miss Lucy Foster, 21 years old, of 2822A Victor street, as she was alight. ing from a-northbound Grand avenuc car at Park avenue. Witnesses said ‘that Miss. Foster. was,.waiting. forthe car to pass so that she could cross the street, when the machine struck..her, and that shé was carried on the front part of the auto across the street before the machine was stopped. She was tak- en to St. Luke’s Hospital, where it was found that her collar bone and left knee were fractured. BOY-ED REPORTED ENGAGED WASHINGTON, Dee. 13.—The official set in Washington society is discussing a rumor that Capt. Karl Boy-Ed, re- called German naval attache, is engaged to Miss Virginia Mackay Smith, daugh- ter of the late Bishop Alexander Mack- ay Smith, former rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, one of the most ex- Miss Mackay Smith pleaded indisposi- tion when a reporter called at her home, 1366 Sixteenth street northwest.

Circuit Judge Anderson today ruled that the three daughters of Mrz. Wil- liam H. Scudder of 3673 West Pine bou- | levard must pay a total of $25,838.10 to the State University, as their collateral tax on their inheritances of $172,263.96 each from the estate of Samuel Cupples, woodenware manufacturer and philan- thropist, who dieu in 1912. The young women are Mrs. John H. Overall, for- merly Miss Martha Scudder; Mrs. Henry ficial word has been received here from McRee, formerly Miss Gladys Cuppley , Scudder, and Mrs. Gustavo di Rosa, for- : merly Miss Maude Cupples Scudder. They had claimed exemption from the | tax, on the ground that their inher- : itance vas a direct, not a collateral one. | Their mother was the adopted daughter of Samuel Cupples, and it was urged by the young women’s counsel that, in the |! eyes of the law, they were his lineal descendants, through the fact of their mother’s adoption. Probate Judge Holtcamp ruled in fa- vor of the young women, and ordered ' that the assessment, which had been made by Henry A. Baker, be set aside. An appeal to the Circuit Court was tak- en by F. C. Donnell, attorney for the State University in inheritance tax mat- ters, and Judge Anderson’s ruling was a reversal of Judge Holtcamp’s. Judge -Anderson, before his appoint- ment to the bench, appeared as attor- ney for the Rev. Dr. James W. Lee, who resisted the university’s ‘attempt to col- lect a collateral tax of about $500 on an inheritance which~he had receiveil from Cupples, a former parishioner in St. John’s Methodist Church. Dr. Lee said Cupples’ bequest, which amounted to about ‘$10,000, and which was the re- mission of an indebtedness to the es- tate, had already been spent for educa- tional purposes, in educating Dr. Lee's children. The Court upheld his protest. and he did not have to. pay the $500. The 5 per cent collateral inheritance tax is levied on bequests to ail persons except husbands, wives and lineal de- scendants, but the law exempts adopted chfidren. It does not mention the dren of Adopted, children, and. this. the point ‘at Issue in the case of the three young women. Under the provi- sions of the law, no assessment has been made against Mrs. Scudder’s part of the inheritance. TIRES OF ARTIFICAL RUBBER FOR GERMAN AUTOMOBILES BERLIN, artificial rubber are now being made in Germany, the Overseas News Agency says. In his address to the Reichs- tag last week, Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg said German inventors had discovered a method of producing synthetic rubber. “The Frankfurter Zeitung now an- nounces at almost the same hour tha: the chancellor’s statement was made,”’ the news agency says, ‘‘a factory suc- ceeded in working this rubber into tires which will wear for a year.” Dec. 13.—Automobile tires of | rtions yesterday. /oonsecutive Sunday the POST-DISPATCH maintained its supremacv +e petite ided ; fn every branch of advertising the POST-DISPATCH stands supreme—the one ber in ‘which alert advertisers CONCENTRATE, YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

The text of the note was present- ed to the Foreign Office at Vienna Thursday by Ambassador Penfield. Baron Erich Zwiedinek, Charge of the Austrian embassy, had a . conference with Secretary Lansing today at his own request.

It was said he requested the appointment with Secretary Lansing. but had no instructions of any kind from the Vienna Foreign Office and acted enstirely on his own initiative. In official: and diplomatic circles it was believed the Charge was following the example set by Count von Bern- storff during the days when the Lusi- tania controversy was in a_ critical stage. Baron Zwiedinek also was represent- ed as being of the opinion and to have so told Secretary Lansing that, if the facts in the case were as the United States had cited them in the note, the Austro-Hungarian Government. would without doubt accede to the demands. It was understood that Baron Zwit- dinek also asked Secretary Lansing what he could do to alleviate the tense- ness of the situation. . The American note informs Austria- Hungary that “the good relations of the two countries must rest upon a common regard for law and humanity.” The note arraigns the shelling and torpedoing of a wanton slaughter of helpless men, in official and diplomatic circles the communication .s regarded as being the most emphatic declaration to come from the United States Government since the beginning of the war.

LONDON, Dec. 13.~—Contrasting the tone of the note sent to the Austrian Government by the United States with the note sent to Germany after the Lu- sitania disaster, the Daily Express con- cludes that ‘““‘The note would have been more impressive if it nad been addressed to the Power capable of injuring the United States instead of to its ally from which the United States has nothing to fear.”’ Continuing, the Express says: “It was a monstrous and cruel act, but not a whit more criminal than the sinking of the Lusitania. The note sent to Vienna, however, is direct and almost bereft of compliments. Germany may sin with practical impunity, but woe betide Aus- tria if she follows in her friend's foot- steps.” - The Daily a in an editorial, says: “Both President Wilson's descrip- tion of the outrage and his demands are perfectly justified, but would not botn have been even more justified in the Lusitania case?

The conduct of the commander can only be characterized as wanton slaughter of defenseless noncombatants, since, at the time when the vessel was shelled and torpedoed, she was not, it appears, resisting or attempting to escape, and no other reason is sufficient to excuse such an attack, not even the possibility of rescue. ‘‘The Government of the United States is forced therefore to con- clude either that the commander of his instructions or that the Imperial and Royal Government failed to issue instructions to the commanders of its submarines in accordance with the law of nations and the principles of humanity.

UNDER FIRE SAVED SFRVIAN ORPHANS Richard Harding Davis Tells of Women’s Heroism at Gievgeli. By Richard Harding Davis. (Copyright, 1935, by R. H. Davis.) SALONIKI, Dec. Ti, vig, London, Dec. 13.—There seems no longer doubt that Glevgeli, (native ‘spelling Gjevgelu was evacuated early Friday by the French and the Servian forces, and that the | Servian inhabitants had already fled, On account of the bombardment of the place, even the Bulgarian residents moved out. (Glevgeli, in Servia, is 40 miles northwest of Saloniki.) ; The director of the postoffice arrived here this morning on horseback, and says he was the last to leave the city, which was being bombarded. He re- ports that shells set fire to the former American Hospital, which had been op- erated by Dr. James Donnelly, and after his death was taken over by the French for the care of French and Servian wounded, of whom all were safely re- moved. The railroad station was also destroyed. Dora Groultch, Servian-American nurse in charge of the Frothingham Unit, with her assistant, Elva Reed of Lagrande, Ore., left Gievgeli on the 9th, bringing safely here in a freight car 38 Servian orphans. The women are doing splendid work. The orphanage is sup- ported by an American named Froth- ingham of Baltimore, and was originally located at Nish, but was driven from that place and took refuge at Gievgelli. When your correspondent visited Gievgeli last week the women were managing restaurants, with the profits from which they supported the orphans. Lady Scott’s unit of five Scotch nurses also escaped safely and no Americans or English remain in Gievgelli. Refugees are now crowding into Sa- loniki on mattresses in carts, carrying their pitiful possessions in their ker- chiefs and in baskets. This is one of the pictures which this war has made a familiar one, but that they are forerunners of a Bulgarian ad- vance upon Saloniki, does not follow, But Gievgell is so near the border that whether the Bulgarians myan to halt there or to fight on Greek-soil the next few hours should decide, 800 TITLED BRITONS KILLED War List ef Dead Occupies 12 Pages in New “Peerage.” LONDON, Dec. i?.—The new issue of “Debrett’s Peerage,” the officia) an. nual record of British titles, strikingly ‘filustrates how the aristocracy has suf- fered through the war.

American Inquiry Nov. 18, and was given assurances the desired infor- mation would be obtained as soon as possible. A few days later it had not yet been possible to find the submarine and ncthing is known of its whereabout up to now. Inasmuch as the submarine is @ large one with a wide radius of action, it is declared, this might easily It is considered possible also that the submarine may have met with misfortune. Since the submarine commander’s first jreport upon the sinking of the Ancona already had been published it was nec- essary, it is asserted here, to submit to him the allegations of the Ancona’s crew and passengers before the ques- tions asked by the United States could be answered. It now appears that a supplementary report issued by the Gov- ernment relative to the Ancona case contained details supplied by the sub- marine commander in his first report and was not based upon a second com- munication from him which, it is said, the Government, for the reasons given, has thus far been unable to obtain. GERMAN NOTE ON ARABIC; AUSTRIA ON ANCONA CASE The Austro-Hungarian Admiralty’s ex- planation .of the sinking of the Ancona by a submarine and Germany's officia! note of disavowal and regret in the Arabic case are given herewith. Austro-Hungarian note of Nov. 13. “The submarine fired one shot in front of the Ancona’s prow, where- upon the steamer fled at full speed, in accordance with the order issued by the Italian authorities, which in- structs ship commanders to flee or to sink the submarine. The subma- rine pursued the steamer and con- tinued firing, but the vessel stopped only after being hit several times. “The submarine allowed 45 min- utes for the passengers and crew to abandon the steamer, but only a small number of boats were lowered and these were occupied principal- ly by the crew. “A great number of boats, proba- bly sufficient to save all the passen- gers, remained unoccupied. “After a period of 50 minutes, and as another steamer was. approach- ing, the submarine submerged and torpedoed the Ancona, which sank after an additional 4 minutes. “If any of the passengers lost their lives, this was due to the fault of the crew, because the steamer tried to escape after it had received orders to stop, and then the crew (WHY 00 YOU SUFFER PAINFUL.

The attack of the submarine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the commander. The Imperial Government regrets and disavows this act and has notified Commander Schnei- der accordingly. “Under these circumstances, my Gov- ernment is prepared to pay an indemnity for American lives, which to its deep regret have been lost on the Arabic.

BRITAIN Payment to Be Made in Five- Year 5 Per Cent Exchequer Bonds, Commons Is Told. LONDON, Dec. 13.—The British Gov- ernment has decided to purchase Amer- ican securities held by British in- vestors, paying for them in _five- year, 5 per cent exchequer bonds, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Reginald McKenna, made this announcement in the House of Commons today. He said the Government was willing to buy such American dollar securities as were suitable at the middle American price of the day, without brokerage or commission. McKenna assured the House of Com- mons nothing would be done to harass the American market in connection with mobilization of American securities or to injure American financial interests. He believed there was available a suffi- cient amount of securities to maintain exchange with New York. The plans for mobilizing American securities, he said, was entirely volun- tary. Estimates of the amount of Amer- ican and Canadian securities held in this country varied, he continued, from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 to as high az $700,000,000 or $800,000,000. McKenna added that he anticipated no difficulty in raising on. voluntary terms such loang ag the State might re- quire. , This was the Chancellor’s reply to a request that he take steps to put an end to rumors that a compulsory loan might be necessary. In explaining the plan for mobilization of American securities, McKenna said that in case individual holders were un- able tc sell them, the Treasury would accept their holdings on deposit for two years. The lender would receive thé in- terest accruing plus one-half of 1 per cent. The Treasury would retain the right to sell securities thus deposited, under cer- tain contingencies, the Chancellor con- tinued, paying the middle New York price of the day and an additional two and cne-half per cent on the value thus calculated. GERMANY HOLDS AMERICAN SHIP AS “ENEMY VESSEL” HAMBURG, Germany, Dec. 13.—The prize court which has before it the case of the American ship Pass of Balmaha has decided to treat her as “an enemy vessel.” It is announced that the evi- dence has been established that the ship Was under the British flag until the end of 1914 and was sold to an American company after the outbreak of the war. The Pass of Balmaha was captured while she was on her way to Archangel, Russia, with a cargo of cotton, which has been sold for 2,500,000 marks (about $625,000). A judgment covering the pro- ceeds will be announced on Dec. 4. - FORMER TEACHER SENTENCED. Jasper A. Burchfield, a former school teacher, was sentenced to a year in the workhouse in the Criminal Court today on bis plea of guilty to embezzlement from the Prudential Life Insurance Co., for which he was a solicitor. It was }charged that Jan. 3, 1914, he disappeared with $246.90 belonging to the company. On account of his former good record he was sliowed to plead guilty to embes- ‘} sling less than $30, so that a workhouse sentence, instead of a penitentiary sen- tence, could be imposed, | He formerly resided at 72 Carpenter place, but was arrested in Madison, Ill., last week. 1 eel | Chief Steward of the Carolina Made Prisoner of War and Importer Questioned. VESSEL § AN AMERICAN Warship Fired Blank Shell When Steamer Was 3 Miles From Porto Rico. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Officers and Passengers of the American steamship Carolina that arrived here today from Porto Rico brought first hand details of the stopping of that ship and the re- moval of her chief steward, Kari Schaade, by the French cruiser Des- cartes, Dec. 5. The Carolina, according to Capt. J. O. Foss, was hailed by the Descartes just after she had passed out of the three-mile limit, a blank shot being fired by the cruiser to call atten- tion to the signal to stop. ’ Ship Was Detained. A lifeboat with six men and a lieu- tenant from the cruiser came alongside and the ship was detained for about two hours. Several passengers, among them | Charles T. Pfaltz, an importer of this city, were questioned by the officer, but only the steward Schaade was taken. Pflatzg says he believes, judging by the Actions of the French officer, that he was the man scught, notwithstand- ing that he is an American citizen hav- ing been naturalized for 20 years. _ “I was asked for as soon as the French Lieutenan; came on the Caro- lina,” Pfaltz said. “I showed him my passport and he told me that as it did |not show the date of my naturalization he would have to go back to the cruis- er for further instructions from the commander. Age Saved Him. “He was gone for about 20 minutes; then I-.was told that it was all right, but that only my age, 50 years, saved me from being taken off. ‘Why they were after me I do not know. With my wife I went to Porto Rico two weeks ago on business. I did call on the German Consul at Ponce, an old friend of mine, but 1 also visited the French Consul at San Juan.” Other passengers on the Carolina said that on the morning of the day the Carolina sailed, a tug said to have French officials on board, put out to sea from San Juan, and was seen returning after the ship had been stopped by the cruiser, ; ny Two Germans Taken From Skip by SAN JUAN, Porto Ricg,)} Dec. 13.—A wireless warning directing,her to come within the three-mile limit; was received ‘by the steamer San Juan of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Co. a short time before she was stopped by the French cruiser Descartes, it is re- ported here. The warship also picked up the message while steaming to meet the liner near Arecibo, 40 miles from here. The young French officer who boarded the San Juan knew William Gunther- rodt and Fritsch Lothar, the two Ger- mans who were removed, according to Capt. Evans, who told the following story of his experiences: “The officer asked for the passenger lists and pointed out the names of Guntherrodt and Lothar, asking us to produce them. One other man, C, L. Schifferdecker, among several passen- gers with German names, was ques- tioned by the Frenchman, but not. taken off when he asserted he was a German citizen.” Upon leaving the ship, Guntherodt di- rected that a valuable package in the purser’s safe be delivered to the German Coneul here and asked that his trunk be held to await intructions from him. Both the Germans, who were trayéling second class, appeared like ordinary mechanics, according to the other pas- sengers, who knew nothing of their busi- ness. Herr’ Hepp, the German Consul, ts in Nev York. A German civilian employe attached to } the paymaster’s staff of the Argentine} transport Rampa, which was boarded Thursday night by a French officer be- fore she entered the harbor here on her way from Buenos Aires to New York, was not removed from the ship, sup- }. posedly because he was an Argentine Government employe. “The Commandant is asleep now and I don't want to awaken him, so you can go,” the French officer is quoted as hav- ing said to the German. “By the time you come out of port we will have de- cided what to do with you.” The Pampa sailed for New York Sat- urday afternoon. e? _ ail - Cs — ae, at itd ‘ es o a ete, — » pressly binds the Powers to respect neu- ‘val territory and forbidg the movement of troops or convoys of either munitions of war or supplies across such terri- tory There is undoubtedly a correla- tive duty here imposed upon neutral states not passively to submit to the violation of their territory, and fafling in thia duty, neutral states can hardly be the convention. | View Held by Von Moltke.

For French troops to have found refuge in Belgium without being disarmed would undoubtedly have released Germany from her obligations to resp.ct Belgium neutrality. , During the South African war when Poort on the Transvaal-Mozambique border, the Boer leaders showed a dis- position to stay close to the Portuguese frontiers. The Portuguese authorities at Lourenco Marquez stuck up flags along the border to define the boundary ex- actly, and stationed their own troops there to prevent its violation. Fearing vent the Boers violating Portugal's neu- trality, the authorities wa:ned the Boers that unless they moved their force® to points eix miles from the boundary they would permit the English forces to land at Delogoa Bay.

Houts, announced the defense was ready for, trial. Houts objected to the jury, as it had been i:tpanéled by the Sheriff, who, in this case, is the prosecuting witness. Ac- vordingly a motion to quash the jury was sustained, and the case was reset for trial Jan. 10. The Coroner: will sum- mon the new jury panel. ~* Sheriff Dickmann and Nat Goldstein, chief deputy Circuit Clerk, were in court with the books and records of their respective offices, which the State contends will disclose Kilcullin’s short- age. Kileullin, as chief execution deputy in the Sheriff's office, took in checks and monies from lawyers in payment of judgments and costs in .litigation. . It was his duty to enter these amoufts on his books and turn the money over to the office cashier* The State alleges he did not turn ‘over to the cashier all the monies thus collected, and that an audit of his books disclosed the shortage. It was reported that Kilcullin’s de- fense will be that he did not take any of the Sheriff's funds, and that any shortage shown on the books is due to clerical errors. Others in the Sheriff's office, it will be contended, had access to the books. SUES FOR $300 FOR DOG BITE Man Who Alleges Attack, Says He Couldn’t Work for 15 Days. L..C.

January, 1862, he entered the Confed- esate provisional army. in Springfield, Mo,, and was soon afterward elected a Captain. -He rose thfough the ranks of Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel to Brig- adier-General. He was wounded in the battle of Frahklin, Tenn.,-and in the siege of Vicksburg, where he was blown into the air by the explosion of Gen. Grant’s mihes. . His Letter for Amnesty. In his letter applying to the President of the United States for amnesty, Cock- rell stated his belief that the principles for which he was fighting “had been finally and permanently settled against me by the decision of arms, and in that decision it was my duty to ac@uiesce.’’ He promised’ that, if restored to the rights of citizenship, “I shall feel it to be my Government, and sh@ll as fully support and defend its Constitution and laws as I have tried to support and de- fend the Cohfederate states.” Full amnesty was xzranted to Gen. Cockrell in March, 1866, and he re- turned to Warrensbyprg and took up his law practice, until in 1872 he became a candidate for Governor. He was 4e- feated, in the Democratic state conven- tion, by one-sixth of a vote, and he made such an earnest campaign for his | successful rival that,.in 174, he was chosen United States Senator, to -suc- ceed Carl Schurz. His senatorial service was continuous through five six-year terms until 1905, when a Republican Legislature, ufter a factional deadlock, _electéd William Warner to spcceed him. President Roosevelt's comment on this change was that the people of Misseuri had lost a faithful public servant, but that the Government would not lose him, and he appointed Cockrell a member of the In- terstate Commerce Commission. ” ' .

He dominates the artistic world. By sheer force of his genims he has at his beck and call every resource known to his art. Only the best would suffice for such an artist. His choice of the Victor was a foregone conclusion. He decided that only the Victor could do full justice to his superb art,* that - only the Victor could thrill you with fis power, that only the Victor could express in every fine detail the vocal subtlety of his softest tones. Hence it is that only on Victor Records can you hear him. And only on. the Victrola, played with Victor changeable needles, can you hear him exactly as he is, in the tone-volume best suited to the environment in which you happen to be.

By Wire From the ec ae cg Bu- reau of the Post- W, 'HINGTON, Dec. 14—If Col. Roosevelt really wants to go back into the Republican fold, a fine opportunity will’ be afforded to him during the meeting of the Republican National mmittee, beginning tomorrow. The matter of the representation of the Southern States will be considered by the committee, and the indications are that the negro delegates from that section will not figure ¢o largely in the convention of next year as in the past. Aniother troublesome factor will be eliminated by the restriction of the powers of the Committee on Creden- tials. at the next convention, A major- ity of the delegates for the first time will be selected by primaries and not by party conventions, consequently the certificate of the Secretary of State of ; each commonwealth will be substituted for Knockdown and drag-out arguments, the steam roller or charges of ‘“‘bur- glary.” Some states will select delegates un- der the old system—New York among .. them-—and the seating of the delegates chosen in that way may hav> some of the entertaining features that made the } last the publican convention a show of rst magnitude. The Progressive wing, headed by Ho- mer $tillwell of Indiana, wants the com- mittde to surrender its right to pass upon! the credentials of délegates elected under the State convention system. This the regulars are disinclined to concede, by a t half a dozen of the members who lean strongly toward the Progres- sive ‘cult, Qu to recuperate, the Republican party managers are taking more inter- est in the assembling of their committee tomorrow than they have displayed ‘since |’ the Roosevelt cataclysm of 1912. Pretty nearly all the old-timers have settled themselves in the hotels or are on their way to take a hand in shaping the policy of the party, smoothing down the Progressive rébels, scrapping over the location of the convention and “‘touting”’ the yirtues of their respective favorite |. sons, Control Same as in 1912. The committee organization continues to remain in the hands of the men that Col, Rooseelt pronounced “crooks” and “secend-stery men.’ Mr. Barnes of New York, Murray Crane of Massachu- | setts, Franklin Murphy of. New Jersey. Reed Smoot of Utah, Hoy West of lili-} nola, Coleman Du Pont of Delaware, _ dames P. Goodrich of Indiana, T. x. Niedringhaus of Missouri, Frederick W. Estabrook of New Hampshire, Charles D. Hilles (chairman), George R, Shel- don of New York and Samuel A. Per- kina of Washington stil! constitute the i controlling faction of the committee. The olive branch promises to shed its beneficent influence over the commit- teen, A proposition already reduced to} the ferm of a resolution provides for a} ep tp representing both factions tof for the. co-operation of al] shades of!

The word “spineless” cannot be applied to the administration’s Austrian note on the sinking of the Ancona. It is vigorous and to the point. Characterizing the act as a violation of “the | prisictnies of international law and humanity,” | “wanton slaughter of defenseless noncomba- tants,” “outrage,” “illegal and indefensible,” “in- humane and barbarous,” “abhorrent to all civil- ized nations,” the President, through Secretary Lansing, demands prompt denunciation of the act, the punishment of the officer who perpe- trated the deed and indemnity for slain Ameri- cans. The demand is in the nature of an ultimatum because the time for discussion has passed. As Secretary Lansing says in his note, the Austro- Hungarian Government, through the German cor- respondencé, knows the attitude of the United States on submarine warfare on vessels of com- merce and the German acquiescence in that atti- tude. In the light of the Lusitania and Arabic controversies there is no excuse for the com- mander of the Austrian submarine, nor for the Austro-Hungarian Government if it does not promptly disavow the act. ' Having exhausted the resources of reason and diplomacy, we must take other steps to stop these murderous submarine assaults on innocent and helpless noncombatants. We must protect the lives of American citizens. We must check the illegal and inhuman slaughter of women and ‘| children. The American people will support their Gov- ernment in any measures to prevent murder on the sea. We have reached a point where peremp- tory action is megeesary. Possibly there are iskers who don’t care a wrap for clean bread. = = * FOR FRENCH WAR SUFFERERS. The appeal of the French citizens of St. Louis for funds to relieve the widows and orphans of French soldiers should find a generous response from their fellow citizens. Charity knows no race, nationality or creed. It responds to human suf- fering wherever it may fall. The American people profoundly sympathize with the French people in their bitter struggle and sacrifices. They admire the sterling cour- ageous qualities the French have demonstrated. They have shown themselves ready to give aid to the suffering whenever aid is needed. The exchange of contributions between French and German citizens is a pleasant incident of the French and German relief movements in this city. It proves that the hearts of both are in the right place and that as Americans they can fraternize even when the countries of their origin are at war. The French relief bazar at Dreamland, which opens tonight, should be a conspicuous success. Americans of all origins should unite in raising a large fund for the French war widows and or- phans. POLITICAL MASCOTS AND JINXES. St. Louis as a place for naming the Demo- eratic presidential ticket has not been chosen as a mascot. Tilden, who was counted out, Cleveland, when he was not elected, and Park- er, who was defeated, were all nominated at St.. Louls.—From the New York World. It is going back a long way to Tilden. But he got a popular majority. McKinley, nominated in St. Louls, won an impressive triumph, Contrast the Chicago jinx. It overcame even James G. Blaine, greatest of modern Republicans, but nominated in Chicago in 1884. It not only made W. J. Bryan’s chances hopeless—nominated in Chicago in 1896—but put a blight on his party that three subsequent conventions held in mas- cot cities could not overcome. | And in the case of Taft—nominated in Chicago in 1912—it operated with such potent and hideous jand probably enduring results as no jinx ever showed before in politics and brought about the most disastrous defeat ever encountered by a great political party. . Republicans should beware the Chicago jinx, especially in 1916. a» i i ee PATRIOTIO IXTTLE HAWAII. Hawaii shows what persistent urging of the claims and incidental social advantages of the Natidnal Guard will do. The insular or- ganized militia, consisting of whites and Fill pinos as well as natives, but no Japanese, now numbers 3700, an increase from 600 since August. Much older portions of the American system are put to shame by this small section of the latest territory to enjoy its benefits. It is figured that the National Guard of the 48 states and District of Columbia would have a membership of more than 8,000,000, if their young men had an equal interest in military instruction and national defense, and that the proposed conti- nental army, shell supply, powder, big guns would not now be the most pressing of the country’s Gen. Saniuel J. Johnson of Hawait’s little army of citizen soldiery should come over to the main- Woman Who Dared” and “The Man Who Dared” romances would be unimpeachable but for one thing. This is a world of children as well as of ' Prosecuting Attorney's office has no contingent fund to pay for following him tp. The Federal authorities may get him, if he and his paramour cross the bridge together, but not otherwise. A law providing for. the return and adequate punishment of such men would act as a deter rent. Compelling them to take care of their helpless children would prevent much suffering end relieve the community of a burden of aciheaind and distress. THE ‘'‘TRENT INCIDENTS’’ OF 1915. The other set of allies are not a whit less {llv- sive in dealing with our rights than the Teutons. England seized the Hooking almost in American waters, the Genessee at St, Lucia and the Kanka- kee off the coast of South America and sent them to remote prize courts on some vague allegation of a German moiety in their ownership. Not content with that, she commandeered them for military uses. No sooner has this last bold plan of confiscation been checked by our protests, than France commits the most flagrant offense so far chargeable to her at sea and one of the most flagrant of the whole war. From the Carolina in West India waters the French cruiser Descartes took off Steward Schaade on the explanation that he was a Ger- man. The-same cruiser fired solid shot at the Coamo in the same waters and took off four of her crew as Germans. She also stopped, searched the San Juan and took off two second cabin passengers. Why this obnoxious work is entrusted to a French ship is easy to be seen. It outrages a principle which the British threatened hostili- ties to maintain during our Civil War and which was established in their favor. These several incidents are even more serious than that of the British ship Trent on which the Confederates Mason and Slidell were seized. The American steamers interfered with are prac- tically in our coastwise trade, plying between Porto Rico and the mainland. If our Porto Rican ferry can be thus meddled with, how long will it be before our ferry from Key West to Havana, other vessels in our exclusively do- mestic trade, other ferries be meddled with? If this is freedom of the seas, what would constitute despotism? Ships under the Ameri- can flag may be left undermanned by the seiz- ures and subjected to inconvenience and peril. Naturalized Americans are as likely to be seized as foreigners by naval officers who as- sume the functions of a -court to decide citizen- ship. Our ‘protests should be as vigorous and uncom: promising as those made by the British against the San Jacinto in 1862. The disavowal of the act of the Descartes’ captain should be as com- plete and speedy as the disavowal of the act of Capt. Wilkes which the British forced from our Government. If Missouri is to have a candidate for Vice- President, Dr. Willlamson’s place on the Moose ticket is assured. = = wi i i CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION NEEDS FUNDS. The St. Vincent de Paul Society is making a special appeal for funds with which to meet the demands upon it this winter. At the approach ef the most trying part of the season, it finds itself without means to continue its great work of caring for the poor. Under the rules of this society, help-is given the worthy destitute, irre- spective of creed, color or nationality, as long as funds last. The Provident Association, which has opened four new branches in order to facilitate relief work, will also be hard put to it to meet the .de- mands on its resources. And the same applies to the Jewish Charitable and Educational Al- liance. These three organizations represent the most efficient and best managed bodies of workers engaged in the relief of destitution in St. Louis. Their work has stood the test of time and St. Louis could ill afford to see that work stop for lack of public support. There appears to be a belief that, owing to the decrease in immigration and the increased pros- perity, the demand for relief on account of desti- tution will not be so great this winter as in former years. But, even in normal times, these charitable organizations have all pom § can do to meet the demand. And every day's” mail brings to the Post-Dispatch letters from persons unable to find work and suffering from extreme poverty. That the help needed may be most efficacious, it should be given at once. No worthy applicant shoulaé be permitted to suffer for lack of funda, ‘= = - - = THE PROFITS BEHIND THE GUNS. For the first year of the war in Burope, the Krupp company of Essen reports a profit approx- imately $25,000,000. To the eyes of a world which has not yet learned to do without cannon this concern now touches the apex of prosperity in its own line. It presents in practical perfection the combination of essentials, Money and Gunpowder, lauded by Mr. Andrew Undenhaaft, the million- aire maker of big guns and torpedoes, in Mr. Bernard Shaw's witty “Major Barbara.” Along with the Krupp report of expanded profits comes also a statement that the share- holders will take no extra dividends. Instead, they will increase their endowment fund for pub- lic welfare purposes and will add to the national funds for the care of dead soldiers’ families. But curiously enough, it is this charitable end of their enterprise which has subjected them to criticism in their own country. There are writers for the German press who insist that the Krupps are doing no more than they ought, and indeed, that they cught to be made to do much more. Put into rough and ‘ancultured English, the idea of these critics is that, having first made their widows, orphans and cripples, the cannon-founders ‘should be | forced to take all necessary care of them. We need not expect from the Krupps such a polished and ironic rejoinder as that put Into the mouth of Mr. Undenhaaft before referred to. |-| That Shavian hero, having devoted thousands of his pounds to the Salvation Army, points out }how, becauce thus promoting the doctrines of peace, he is leading up to the ruin of his own fortunes. = = = - SS hm os ~ p Pane ia kg ae oe ae | — Ups ee Aeon Ly See eRe = ae “¥ =, nak if Maeye ag GREECE’S POSITION. to} -The 19 couples saved from the divorce court by ¢ ltbe Parole Board may be happy yet. eg tt gee _JUST A MINUTE NP PO AN DECEMBER 18.

St. Louisans who are officers and di- rectors of the $3,000,000 Standard Ship- Building Corporation recently incorpo- rated in New York, told today of the plans of the company, which will build merchant ships of standard wize and ex- pects, through the standardization of patterns and tools to effect a big saving. Edward A. Faust is first vice president, Herman C. 8Stifel is second vice president and Moses Shoenberg is one of the di- rectors of the corporation. Members of the Adolphus Busch family, besides Faust, have invested heavily in the stock and many other St. Louisans are said to be among the stockholders. New Yorker Presi jent. Herbert A. Ayers of New York, lum- ber and oil magnate, with whom SBtifel is associated in a large Mexican enter- prise, is president of the company and it was through him that the St. Louis cap- italists became interested. Stifel said today: *“‘The Standard Ship- Building Corporation has taken over the Townsend & Downey Shipyards on Shooter Island, between Staten Island on the north side of Staten Island be- tween Brooklyn and the Jersey Coast. It consists of 33 acres with riparian rights in 60 additional acres covered by shallow water. The 83 acres are’ cov- ered with dry docks, machine shops and - various other buildings with shipbuild- ing equipment. It has a mile and a half of dock and large dry-docking railways. When the plant is in full operation it will employ about 3000 men. \To Spend $1,000,000. “The company will fill in the ground now covered by shallow water and will! spend $1,000,000 in extending the plant and making it more balanced. “Two million tons of shipping. has been destroyed up to this time in the war and the destruction goes on. This destruction has drawn the attention of this country to the possibilities in ship- building.” First Vice President Faust is to de- vote himself largely to the affairs of the company. The other directors are Wallace Downey of New York and E. A. Clark and W. E. Coolidge of Boston. Downey, interviewed in New York, said operation would begin within two months and the first ship would be launched within a year. In the second year a ship would be launched every 6 days and in the third year one would be launched every 30 days.

VON RINTELEN IS DISAVOWED * BY GERMAN GOVERNMENT German Ambassador Authorized by Berlin to Repudiate Man Held in London. * WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador, an- nounced that he has been authorized by his Government “‘to disavow” Capt. Franz von Rintelen, and declared that he had no instructions to coffimit any acts which were in violation of the laws ef the United States, The Ambassador will convey this instruction to the State Department for its information. When in America, it was said at the embassy, Rintelen acted solely in the capacity of @ purchasing agent for private interests. Rintelen, a German agent and friend of the Kaiser's, now a prisoner in the Tower of London, has been charged with a large corruption fund to incite strikers in muition factories. LIVESTOCK RATES INCREASED BY COMMERCE COMMISS!9N Adjustment on Shipments North of the Ohie and Patomac, and East of the. pi.

is ra 4 But -* -, U Wf “a a. +g ts Men oP ‘pelt (EW RULES MAKE FOR FASTER PLAY IN BASKET GAMES Ignorance of 1915 Changes Causes Many Fouls in Open- e: ing Contests ‘Here. M’KINLEY HIGH STRONG Football Title Winners Also Ap- pe@r to Have Best Five in High School Race. A general impression that the new code of rules, recently adopted by the Amateur Athletic Union for the play- ing of basket ball, was a change for the better and would tend to improve the winter game of the local fives, playing under the jurisdiction of the A. A. U. regulations, was created in the first local get Fay the new game last Saturday nfrht. The oecasion was the opansns of the Interscholastic League season, in which the Soldan, McKinley, Yeatman and Cleveland high school quintets’ partici- pated. The game was slower than usual, owing to frequent calling of fouls, inasmuch as the “prep’’ players showed a lack of alert familiarity with the rules. The frequent fouling, accord- ing to Referee Hord Hardin, was cauged by players blocking the opponent with the ball from behind, or standing in front>of players without the ball. These acts were not penalized last year. As soon as the changes are mastered the game should be a much faster one. Last year fouls were often called because of attempting shots after “dribbling,” but this play is now legal and tends to make the game faster. Guards More Valuable Now. The guards are more potent factors in the offense of the teams this season, and a guard, who is a capable shot, is a splendid asset, inasmuch as he re- celves greater opportunities for throwing baskéts. Several minor changes in the rules also seem to be for the better- ment of the game The old form of jostling. an opponent ‘ with the free arm in a toss-up is now impossible, as one arm must now be held to the back. The, rule compelling the defense man to stand at least a yard in ver of his opponent, who is making hrow-in from a side line relieves thé game of some of its former sloppiness in hinder- ing re progress of the throws. As to the strength of the four teams thatcplayed Saturday night, the Mc- Kin five impressed as being the strongest of the quintets. Soldan also showed form, losing to the South Siders by only four points. However, with, about two weeks of practice the crimson squad should entirely outclass the West Enders. M ley has a splendid floor game. Withsshort, accurate passes and pre- arranged teamplay Coach Callen’s play- ers easily surpassed the Soldan squad withits long, ragged passes, seemingly reckless teamwork. i Thé Soldan players, however, were more efficient in throwing at the bas- ket and took more advantage of their opportunities. McKinley's scoring at- ceners except in flashes, were very veak. , The Yeatman team, although thor-’ oughly walloping Cleveland, hardly classes well up with Soldan or McKin- ley. For more than half of the game, the *’tmexperienced Cleveland squad piayed the North Enders to a stand- still,on the floor play. The blue and gold five is composed of a husky bunch of ths who lack speed. Coach Mid- kiff's Cleveland team played as well ves could be expected of it. The team is made entirely of youngsters who lack any league experience. Beany WGovern Will Again Try to “Combe Basle” Benny McGovern, the niftiest little boy with the boxing gloves that Sst.

True for you, Aleck. We used to know a guy who could do his hundred in 10 flat any day in the week, but after losing a leg in a railroad ac- cident he slowed up perceptably. Just the same and notwithstanding, as somebody once remarked, Alexander i just about as good a pitcher as you’ meet up with in a day’s walk.

Col. Hedges says there isn’t a man on} his team that he doesn’t want to keep. There does not seem to be a concerted movement on the part of his brother magnates to deprive the Colonel of his cherished jewels. . ~ s The fate of J. Franklin Baker may be settled at the A.

If Shot From 25-Yard Line Regis- ters 3-2 “Come-Back” Vic- tory for Veterans. INNISFAILS AT THE TOP By Beating Millers They Moved Into Tie for League Leader- ship Yesterday. By W. J. O’Connor. They've returned. Some 200 persons, counting those who bowed through the free gate, were out to greet them and they looked none the worse for their pro- tracted stay in Hasbeenville. Indeed the trip seemed to do them good, for many of the railbirds recognized trem as the “game old St. Leos.’’ Among those present were the Naval Reserves, who attended in a body. After Paul McSweeney focused his camera eye and called for ‘“‘action.’" the Re- serves stood by and watched the Leos reel off a 3—2 victory that established them as comebacks and potent factors’ in the pennant race, which hasn't yet run half its course. All the old favorites were in the line- up. Billy Monahan, who accompanied the champions on their trip to the land of Nod, also was the guiding genius in their return trip. He had Abstein and Boucher in the back field with the Bran- nigans, Johnny Miller, Jimmy Donohue and “Punky”? McCormack in the forwara line. The Reserves also had their ful! force, but it availed naught. Innisfails Tie for Lead. As a result of the St. Leos’ victory and the subsequent conquest of the Innis- fails, who also etched a 3—2 victery int. their record, the Innigfails now are tied for first place with the Naval Reserves. These teams meet next Sunday and the winner will have first pick of the holi- day dates with the Pullmans of Chicago. There was plenty of action in yester- day’s double-header. Bull Brannigan’s remarkable shot, from the 26-vard line, when he took a pass from right wing and with his back to the enemy’s goal, shot while pivoting on one pin, sending the ball past Wueger like a train past a tramp, proved the feature. It was the decisive goal, coming as it did in the second half with the score a deadlock. Brannigan also scored a goal in the first portion, while Johnny Miller a@ded another Ryan and Brady, counted for the for- mer leaders; That the Leos thhad a decisive eige on their fleet foes wags the consensus of opinion of those pregent. ATi the play was in the Naval Reserves’ ter- ritory, except for sporadic dashes by Brady and Ryan. The consistent nooting oy the Brannigans and Mil. ler kept Wueger busy from the. start. Deidrichsen starred for the Innis- fails, scoring all their Ratican was the Ben shot bo their goals. PAL HELPS 1608, Nothing New for Yale. TORLES sent out yesterday acc player had been deemed good enough The mistake was a natural one, * haps; but it was a mistake. Fur ° more, the error can be proven by refer- ence to the 1914 guide, which shows that not an Eli star was thought fast enough by Camp to play with the country's best talent last year. Harry Legore, the Blues’ star perform- er, was placed on the SECOND ‘eam in 1914, because of his erratic brilllancy. Mahan Only 1914 Survivor. FEATURB of Camp's selections this year is that only one man, Mahan, of last year’s first eleven, survived this season's competition. In all, only six players of the 14 choices remain on this year’s big three— Barrett, Cornell: Mahan, Harvard; Spears, Dartmouth; Weyand, Army; McEwan, Army: Tallman, Rutgers. Spears and Barrett were the only last year’s secone and third string men to move up to the first eleven this year, in the estimation of Mr. Camp. All-America Teams Obsolete. HE Camp selections this year were plainly mere complimenta to the various sections of the East, West. South and Middle West. baily Camp's choices are as good as any that could be made; but that a rank injustice is done to many stars when ANY seleetion of “best” elevens ts made, is evident from the fact that*Camp, the originator of “All’ teams, is about to retire from the task. It has outgrown the limits of even his talents, now. od e y Is Baseball Dechning? T is now being generally predicted that the baseball season of 1916 will witness a return of enthusiasm ani prosperity, following the dark days of 1915, when weather and busi- ness depression contributed greatly to emaciate the treasuries of major and minor league ball elubs. However, not all baseball men share this view, as witness a recent inter- | view with Thomas LBivingtoe, preai- dent of the American ssociation. Notwithstanding the removal of Fed- eral League competition from. Ameri- can Association territory, through the transfer of the Indianapolis and Kansas City franchises, ivington says he cannot believe that the old. time patronage of the haicyon da ef professional baseball will EV return, ‘ P .

By Leased Wire from the Washington Bureau eof the Post-Di patch. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The i vening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “From the manner in which the text of our State Department's note to Aus- tria was displayed in the morning news- papers, and from the serious eee of the comment on its contents, it might have been tmagined that the Stock Eex- change would be stirred with apprehen- sion. There was no such result, how- ever. A slightly lower range of opening prices a x brief spell of activity was the very lar early peice movement which Tes s fo lowed by a into al- most complete dullness. This continued much throughout ion day. can hardly be doubted that the Stock Exchange's indifference to this incident reflected the belief that Austria has no recourse open but to yield to the stern demands of the Government at Washington, backed as it is by the unan- imous inten of the civilized neutral world, If that were to be the ee and if, after the Reichstag adjourns German Government should > oe disavow the Lusitania massacre, the sit- uation will at least have been cleared up. Berlin Exchange Weak. “The most striking movement of the AnY | day was the violent break in exchange on Berlin, which carried the rate down from the closing of Saturday, to 77% The lowest go rate of this present war was 73%, touched week be- fore last, and today’s low rate repre- sents a depreciation of nearly 19 per cent rom par. This is far the largest de- reciation in the rate on any important lligerent market excepting Petrograd; = Ff) +o ge & 7 per cent greater than that of Paris, though it is only fair to allow of French exchange of the $600,000,000 loan. What was the precise cause of to- Gay’s sweeping decline in the Berlin rate was by no means clear. Some kers, taking the movement with the day’s rise in rates on Amstedram explained it as ‘triangular ovement,’ due to Ger- many’s import of American foodstuffs by way of Holland. It was not easy to follow this explanation, and most people continued to rest on the theory that the break in reichstags had the same eco- nomic meaning as it has had throughout the war. Market In Quiet. “Theré were few features in the market: several specialties showed wide changes, but elsewhere the var- lation were fractional. Helping check the list against any inclination to move upward was the 4 ig securities offered from abroa Sales for Buropean account are going on again in fairly liberal supply. “None of the international issues on the Stock Exchange reflected these sales in any appreciable mea- sure today, the reason being that the sales were largely of unlisted bonds and stocks, handled by banking houses here for their foreign clients. At the same time the effect of these sales was apparent on the Stock Ex- change list, inasmuch as the absorp- tion of the securities from abroad deprived the market of support that Spade would have been given to DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING.

Moreover, since the max- | imum rate of expenditure upon the cap- ital ships, which take some yearg to build in any case, will not be immediately, it enables us to concentrate. thore at first upon submarines and other quickly built craft, so that we will get earlier returns for our expenditure in the shape of completed veasels.”’ The Secretary calls attention to the fact that he established a precedent last year in making public the report of the General Board, which he will fol- low this year at a later date. The re- sult, he says, is certain to arouse dis- cussion as between the recommendations of the board and of the Secretary, but adds: “But discussion makes for know and a wise decision. ‘The General Boa is influenced by its professional views, while the administration takes into cons sideration the whole national policy and does not overlook the question or na- tional revenues.” Makeup of Fieet for 1921.

KLL, “live an’ loin,” as the cow- boy says when he come to after tryin’ to stop the automobile by lassoin’' it! Here 1 am goin’ on 19, and thought if they was anything to know about the fair seck I had all the infor- mation staight off the ticaer, But late- ly 1 been gettin’ wised up to the fac’ that they’s still a couple o' books on the subject I ain’t studied up. Like when I woke up from gettin’ a bump on the lima from the strong- arm man that tried to grab the valise off me when Em Haitch sent me over to the Bank with it, and found the whole office holdin’ a wake over me and Genevieve O'Reilly givin’ me a half-Nel- gon and cryin’ ali .»e dye out o' my necktie, and callin’ me her ‘noble hero!’’ O’ course I was giad, thinkin’ that would make it all on again between she and I, and leave has-beens be has- beens. And go it was till it come out , that Instead o’ the valise bein’ full o’ money, like the strong arm iad thought, it was nothing but sweet potatoes off Em Haitch’s farm, ’twas all off again. “What's the matter, Miss O'Reilly?” I says, the nc«t day, when 1 walks past her desk and near froze from the chill, instead o’ gettin’ one o’ those old- time smiles that'd make a guy jump through a hoop for her. ‘I thought," 1 gays, “after yesterday afternoon’’— “Anything which occurred yesterday afternoon, Mister Doody,” she says, fix- _ in’ her hair in the lookin’ glass in the top of her desk, “‘was under th’ mis. tooken impression that it was a just and deservin’ triboot to a party which had performed a ack o’ heroism." . “Well,” 1 says, feelin’ my head where the strong-arm boy slapped me witn his slungshot, “what mistake did you ’ Make? 1 done the deed all right, didn't " I, and saved the boss’ bag?" “Full o’ - sweet potatoes!” she sniffs. “Even i& that’s so,” I says, “you may not be ' @ware o' the fack, Miss O'Reilly, but when a perfeck stranger comes up be- hind you and taps you on the conk with ' five pounds o’° lead pipe, ‘tis as hara ’ hangin’ on to a bag full o° sweet pota- toes as a bag full o’ fi’ dollar gold pleces. And, also, Miss O'Reilly,” i ' gays, seein’ I'm landin’ her, “mistake or ' 3 0*, this goose egg on the back o’ my ’ head ain't any mistake, 1 assuré you, ' ad the dock says ‘tis a miracle I'm up and alive today, instead o'° beiu stretched on a marble slab up in the morgue with a fractioned skull.” With that she'd ought to of fell inro me arms, but all she says is: “Tis tov bad y’ ain't, then, Mister Doody, so your ladifrien’, Mies Vavasour, could be iayiu’ a@ wreath on your caskit!"" “Foof for Miss Vavasour!"’ I says. “She's nothin’ to me!” And then | feels somethin’ smoothin’ the fist I got layin’ ob the edge o' her typewriter desk, and—weil, the sun's shinin’ again. ROM that time on it’s as merry as 3 a cage o' monkeys, and I'm blowin’ Genevieve to lunch again /reg’lar, and they’s no trouble anywhere; -enly her kickin’ all the time because I still got the job o’ luggin’ the firm's ‘tnoney and makin’ the collections, her thinkin’ I'm goin’ to get another ton « plumbin’ dropped on me again. » And the smile she give me over the | * fous, we bein’ at lunch at the time— ‘made me feel so good I invited her ‘for to go to a show that night. “Aw, what for?” she says. “Leave , (48 go somewheres else.” “All right,” ‘I says, “we'll go some place and fox- ' trot.” “Fox-trot nothin,” she says, “1 thought you was fair foolish.over it,” 4 says, “and me and you do it pretty vlick together." “I know,” she says, “but it’s all out o’ style now. Dancin’s a8 dead as a berrin’. ‘Tis skatin’ now.” ‘ “Bkatin'!” I says. “I ain’t had the rollers under mie sence I used to be the champeen of our block—both sidewalks and the middle o° the street.” “Rollers ‘ nothin’,” says Genevieve, “hese are ice skates I'm talkin’ about. Honest, it's ‘reel reshershay, and if you want to be ‘Iu the swim you gotter take it up.” “Not me,” I says, “I was never on “tee skates in my life.” “Neither was ‘T,” she says, “or lots o’ folks: but they're all takin’ lessons. Why, Mister : » the head clerk, and Miss Mur- hip feeonsay, go up to a rink twice a week and take a lesson.” “That ‘accounts for Hoogley usin’ his coat for ‘a cushion,on hie chair,” I says. “and takin’ his lunches at a stand-up place.” tively and Literally) Wil-| ee nce eateaeeencaeencencinanan aatananainie — .

I wasn’t so awful sorry, either, because they was a queen kep’ goin’ past with an awful rube that couldn’t skate at all, and every time she'd go by me she'd kinder look over and give me the wink, like as if to say: “Ain't this a simp with me?” Then along she comes again, and this time alone, and just as she passes us the guy that was goin’ to get me the Perfes- | ser signais her and over she come. “Here, Miss Flossy,” he says, “here's a gent what wants a lesson!” “But!"’—— 41 says, as the dame skates up to me and holds out her hands. “Perfesser Filos- sy,” says the guy, and the next minute she’s pullin’ me up on my feet, and tell- in’ me to come along, and hang onto her tight, and she wouldn't leave me fall for anything. “You're doin’ lovely,” she says, lookin’ up in my eyes and swilin’ so's ‘twas a wonder all the ice didn't melt. under us. “But no wonder, such a graceful gentle- man as you are! I think you're foolin’, anyhow,” she says, “tellin' me you've never skated before.” ‘‘Hones’ I ain’t,’’ I says. “Oh, you go on!" she says, “I know better. Here,” she says, skatin’ up closer to me, and puttin’ one hand ’way over to grab me by the one I was hangin’ loose to catch me when the bump come, “take my other hand—that's it—crossed hands—and~ leave us skate reg-lar.

Genevieve looks tired and nervous, with her hat down a. little over one ear, ani her face red, and a bit mussed, like as if she and the ice had had‘a couple o’ argu-: ments. But she’s hangin’ on to the Perfessor and stickin’ out her. feet, with that “I'll get it or die” faces she can wear sometimes. I tried to steer out a little and go past quick, and was doin’ it when Flossy says: “Lookut that poor simp of a girl,” she says, “tryin’ to learn.
