TELLS OF His DEALS Admits His Concerns Paid Un- earned Dividends—Hoped to Help Boys He Employed. Henri Chouteau, the youthful stock broker, against whom two attachment suits were filed following his departure from the city Dec. 6, has returned to his apartment in the Hermitage, 445% Washington boulevard. He told a Post- Dispatch reporter today that he had gone to Birmingham, Ala., because the financial pressure upon him had become so great that he could not stand it here, but that he now believes he will be able to satisfy most of his creditors it given sufficient time. With a cigar in his mouth, his feet upon a table and one hand jingling coins in a pocket, Chouteau smilingly discussed some of his business transac- tions and said that he had done nothing wrong and that other brokers are doing the same things every day without pro- test from anyone. Chouteau said his unsecured debts are but trifling. He said they consisted of some room rent due the Hermitage, some office rent due the Security Build- ing Co., for which, as he recalled it, he had given some kind of a bond as se- curity; $100 upon a note given Mrs. Mar- garet Milford of 5867 some Other little odds and ends. Explains Milford Deal. When asked how it is that Mrs. Mil- ford asserts she lost $17,000 in her deal- ings with him, Chouteau replied that he Was not responsible for that, as she had accepted notes from him upon which bonds were given as collateral and the notes expressly stipulated that unless the notes were paid the holder must look to the collateral for security. “So you see,” he said, “those holding bonds must look to the bonds for pay- ment. I do not owe them anything.“ “Was it not tms fern éf note which caused your suspension from the St Louis Stock Exchange? Chouteau was asked. * “Yes it was,“ he replied. The Gov- ernors did not like the form of the note and I did all that I could to meet their wishes. Why, at one time I had $180,000 in these notes out and I cut them down to about $100,000. I tell you I was always looking out for my clients. Why, when the Idaho and Oregon light and Power Co. went to smash three years ago, I gave my notes for $8000 to persons to whom I had sold an allottment of bonds. “The war has caused most of my trou- bles, but I am not the only man in whom it has put a crimp. If it had not been for the war I believe that several of the enterprises in which I am inter- ested would have developed into big successes and I would have been worth $100,000 today instead of being broke. “Only for the war I am sure I would have been able to place most of the companies in which I was interested upon a paying basis. The plans for the companies were all right and simply needed capital to make them succeed. I had many pledges from investors that they would take stock and bonds in some of the enterprises. When the war came the investors became frightened, they refused to keep their promises of financial suppert and the companies were left without means of develop- ment.” Wanted te Help Boys Along. Chouteau was asked regarding state- ments made by several youths that Chouteau had made them officers of companies he was promoting without their taking any interest in the con- cerns and in two cases when they were under age. * did not know any of the fellows were not of age,“ replied Chouteau. “They told me they were 21. That was all I could do about it, There were sev- eral nice young fellows that worked for me in various capacitics. I wished to help them along. . ‘You see you have to have officers to organized a company, and the use of clerks for such purposes is common even in large companies. Although they carry the title of treasurer or secretary, it does not mean that they have any control in the company. I did just what hundreds of organisers of corporations are doing every day. I could not help it if any of them did not tell the truth about their age.“ Chouteau was asked if he had not paid interest upon bonds sold by him | payment of interest on bonds is alleged.

EXONERATED — Art Museum Board in Secret Session Finds That Dear Boy Letter“ Was a Plot. The Board of Control of the St. Louis Art Museum, it was definitely learned by a Post-Dispatch reporter today, has carried its inquiry into the “Dear Boy” letter which was made public early in November, to a point where it has ex- onerated Robert A. Holland, director of the museum, and Miss Madeleine Borg- graefe, secretary of the museum, of any responsitility for the letter. So far as Holland and Miss Borg- graefe are concerned, the inquiry is complete, and a statement to the public will be issued, by W. K. Bixby, presi- dent of the Board of Control, setting forth this finding. But the board is still trying to trace the letter to its source, and for this purpose, it was learned, detectives have been hired.

The letter, which had been opened, was on the stationery of Hotel Martha Washing- ton, New York, was postmarked New York, Sept. 10, last, and was addressed Director City Art Museum, Forest Park, St. Louis“ With it was Inclosed a letter written to Miss Borggraecfe, at the Martha Washington, by a young woman in Washington, D.

WITH THE GERMAN ARMY IN NORTHERN FRANCE, Dec. , via London, Dec. 27.—War is no respecter of customs. Therefore there was no cessation of activity along the line in Northern France, Christmas eve. if pos- sible the French artillery fire more nearly approximated the celebrated “drum fre“ of the late September of- fensive than at any time since then. Christmas t the average German, however, is the most important day of the year. All along the line, from the most advanced trenches to the commu- nication points in the rear, Christmas trees, blazed almost as if in opposition to the flare of exploding shells. Guns Kept Up Fire. The Associated Press correspondent spent Christmas eve with a Bavarian reserve company, every member of which had been in the field at least a year, and most of whom spent the pre- ceeding Christmas in the field. French guns boomed incessantly, shells ripping up acres of ground, but luckily not in- truding upon the scene of the celebra- tion of the first company of Regiment No. 10. In order to spend the evening as near- ly as possible in the accustomed way all the members of the company ad been assembled from their various posts and gathered in a littie wooden pbuilding just behind the front. Gifts From Home. A tiny stage had been erected “or the inevitable orchestra and speakers and in one corner. stood a little Christmas tree laden with tinsel and sweets Adjoining it were long tables on which were gifts for the suldiers—tvigars, choc- tea, socks, mittens and all kinds of wearing apparel--mostiy home-mede ar- ticles stitched by loving fingers and in- to lessen in some degree at least the rigors of winter time war.

Cannon were booming incessantly meanwhile and the glare of exploding shells were constantly visible. When «a shell exploded especially near or with an unusually loud report, the scene became gayer. a Except for the uniforms, one could not have guessed the celebrants were sol- diers who had been separated from their families for months and who had lost friends or relatives upon the field of bat- tle. Approximately every five minutes the orchestra started a hymn, in which everyone joined. Thanks His Soldiers. An element of earnestness was inject- ed into the celebration when the Cap- tain rose to speak. Not as an officer to privates, but as man to man, he thanked his soldiers for what they bad done. He referred to the previous Christmas and then to the hopeful expectation that peace soon would come, calling upon them to continue to render the sam service to the Fatheriand as they had been giving. His final words had just beén spoken when a tremendous French artillery palvo sounded with a boom that drowned every other sound. It was followed by another salvo of pledges from the sol- Gers to stick it out until the last and assuring their Captain of their loyalty to the last drop of their blood. Americans Present. The only civilian guests were Ameri- cans. who would not have been sur- prised at an unfriendly greeting, but the Bavarian reservists proved delight- ful hosts and the humbtest soldier of the company chose to forget he had any grudges.

I then sought to ask about the foreign policy of Greece, but M. Gounaris (whose party won in the recent elections) interrupted me, saying: * 'Grecce’s policy is unchanged. Greece is a small state which does not want to be dragged into the war, which might lavolve a catastrophe like those which have befallen Belgium and Ser- via. We are Greeks, and nothing else. I am neither a Germanophile nor a Francophile, but just a Greek. German- ophiles do not exist in Greece. „% All Greece, even under the present circumstances remains attached to England, France and Russia to which she owes her existence and ber devel- opment. But you cannot ask that the sentiment should go so far as to ‘ead us, without absolute necessity, into the conflict, and we believe nothing now re- quires us to cease our neutrality, Greece always will feel keenly whatever hap- pens for better or worse to France, but we cannot do more.’ “T then asked M. Gounaris to explain how, if the Bulgarians are the hered' tary enemies of Greece, the Greek peo- ple could agree to the allies’ army ‘fall- ing back indefinitely before the Bul- gars on Greek territory. „Now your going into the domain of the future,’ he replied, ‘and I cannot enter into that. I am speaking only of accomplished facts and the attitude they impose upon us. I canont speak of the future.’ “T remarked that such a silence mizh. be considered significant and M. Gou- naris explained, ‘I don’t even authorite you to draw deduction from my - lence,’ ”’ Greek King Says He Can't Let Bul- gare Cross the Frontier. LONDON, Dec. 27.—King Constantine has telegraphed to Emperor William saying that it would be impossible to al- low Bulgarian or Turkish troops to eros: the Greek fruntier, says the Mails cor- respondent at Athens, who had inter- views with the Greek Ministers. M. Gounars, Minister of the Interior, candidly confessed, according to the cor- respondent, that he did not know what would be done if the Bulgarians or Turks attempted to cross the frontier. Minister of Justice Rhallis, on the other hand, was just as emphatic in declar- ing that no Turk or Bulgarian weuld be permitted to set foot on Greek soil. He reproached the allies for obatinately re- maining at Saloniki, declaring that alt of the difficulties of Greeve would be removed if the allies evacuated Salonikl. Two Greek newspapers have published a statement that Rumania has ap- proached the central Powers with4 view to obtaining a guarantee for the -ventu- al evacuation of Greek Maredonia, as Rumania considers herself interested in its retention by Greece. The Greek Gov- ernment, however, denies the truth of the report. Skouloudis Likely to Remain Premier of Greece. BERLIN, Dec. 7, by wireless to Say ville.—M. Gounaris, whose party won the recent general election in Cireece, has renounced his claims to the premiership. the Overseas News Agency says. An Athens dispatch received by the news agency says that M. Gounaris made a report to King Constantine on the out- come of the election and added that as the leader of the new majority purty he Was willing to support the Ministry of Premier Skouloudis. Owing to political conditions in Greece, he believed a change in Government to be not only unnecessary, but unwise.

His View ef Repert, “E have not yet had tie time to di- gest the opinion of the Public Serv- lee Commission. In the copy I have there is an omission of a very im- portant sheet—resuiting, I take it, from the haste of preparing so many copies. I gather from my very brief inspection of it that the commisison has three objections to the plan, viz.; 1. Paying a bonus of 5 per cent in noncumulative income bonds to the holders of the present general lien bonds. This bonus was given because the holdere of the general lien bonds surrendered th ee-fourths of their present primary rcecurity and agreed to take only noncumulative bonds for one-half of them, and, in addition, allow $25,000,000 of first mortgage bonds to go ahead of them, together with all prior lien bouds that will be used for the future improvement of the property. This would seem to be only a fair compensation for such a surrender of present priority. lt is substantially the same arrangement of bonus approved by the commis- sion in respect of the divisional un- derlying bonds in another part of the plan. The Voting Trust. 2. The second objection of the com- mission is to the voting trust agree- ment. a This is a very common agreement. It is in common use between the holders of shares in industrial and manufacturing corporations, as well as railroad companies and other pub- lic utility companies. I know of many private corporations in this State today whose stockholders have such an agreement. It has been the practice for many years, and no one ever seemed to have a thought it was against public policy. New York and Maryland have approved it by statute. The question has been before the supreme courts of many of the states of the Union, and I believe, with one exception, such agreemens have been held valid and not contrary to pup- lic policy. Alabama, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Llinoia, California, New Jersey, Rhode island, Pennsylvania, Idaho, New York, Maryland and others have sustained voting truets. One of the courts said: “There is no more objection to as- signing certificates of stock to a pri- vate corporation in trust for a law- ful purpose than any other property. “Mr. Justice Holmes of the United States Supreme Court, when Chief" Justice of the supreme “Court of Massachusetts, said: „Ne know nothing in the policy of our law to prevent a majority of stockholders from transferring their stock to a trustee with unrestricted power to vote upon it,’ Six to One Pian. »in the present instance, the out- standing capital of the new company will be represented by $ of bonds to fi of stock, The bondholders can get nothing out of the management of the property out their interest, and having the far greater investment in the property, are entitied to have supervision of its management, and this they can obtain only by an agreement with the shareholders throuch a veting trust. The stockholders’ management has wrecked the property underlying the bond securities, and the holders of these securities are naturally unwill- ing to give back their security to the unfettered control of those who have 1 GRIPPE ‘ brought about such disaster, either through misfeasance or malfeasance. I do not belleve it is possible for the reorganization managers to re- cede from this position. % The exchange of income bonds for preferred stock is objected to. May Wave Rights, The provision of law, that preferred stock cannot be issued without unan- imous consent of sharcholders, is in- tended for the benefit of the share- holders, and this they may waive, as they can any other property right. If this right of exchange is given in the charter of bylaws of the com- pany, or is written in the certificates of shares, it is binding upon. present and subsequent shareholders, This question, like the previous one, can be judicially determined whenever “Income bonds” are offered for such exchange; not before then. It is my opinion that the Public Service Commission ts possessed of neither legislative nor judicial. pow- ers; its functions are purely adminis- trative. It has np jurisdiction to de- termine questions of policy. The pub- lic policy of the State can be deter- mined only by the conrts or the Leg- islature. : I will examine more fully the opin- ion of the commission. What the re- organization managers will do I do not know. WOMAN LEAPS FROM SECOND ~ STORY WINDOW OF HER HOME): Daughter Declares Father Threatened te Kill Mether Befere She Jumped. Mrs. Barbara Noeninger of 217A Park avenue was removed to St. Anthony's Hospital last night when the police learned that she had jumped from a second-story window of her home. An examination revealed no trace of injury other than nervous shock. She landed in a snow bank, Mercedes Noeninger, 15 years old, told the police that her mother and father, Robert Noeninger, a bookkeeper, 4%) years old, quarreled at 12:0 o'clock yes- terday morning and that her father ge- cused her mother of having drugged his food, He threatened to kill her, the daughter said, and Mrs, Noeninger jumped from the window. When the police last night learned of the incident they arrested Noeninger at his home and took him to the city hos- pital, where he was ordered held for observation. No weapon was found in the Noeninger home. He denies the charge. MAKING NITRATES FROM AIR 5 Chief oi Ordnance Says United States Might Be Cut Off From Chilean Supply in Case of War.

JT. LOUIS’ POST-DISPATCH: MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1915. By J. J. O'NEILL A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright.) STOCKHOLM, Deer. 27.—Christmas night, with the boys still in the trench- ea, was marked by another rift in the Ford peace party. Mra. Inez Milholland Boissevain, suf- fragist leader, who announced Christ- was day that she would withdraw from the pligrimage, presented a long state- ment of her rvasons for doing so and for her bellef that the expedition had become hopeless. “The undemocratic methods employed by the managers of the expedition is repugnant to my principles,” she said. “When the party embarked on the Os- car Il, I took it for granted that the rather vague opinion of the body of del- egates would be hammered into effec- tive shape by group action and con- structive thinking throughout the voy- “An organization was not formed un- til three days before the end of the voy- age.

Mrs. Fels said: “When we begin our sessions at The Hague 10 days hence, the world will see more is behind the peace movement than is generally known. We confidently expect that not only neutrals will demand peace, but that the belliger- ents will show a disposition to listen.

He never had any business connection with me but [ used to allow him to use the office and he sold some bonds at times. He sold some bonds of a company, whose name I don't remember, to a Wimam McKnight of 5042 Kensington avenue. “I do not recall just what the trouble was. 1 think he sold McKnight some bonds he had received for promotion purposes and that some question existed as to his right to sell them at the time. At any rate, McKnight said he would hold me responsible. He told me that he could prove that the official was working for me. Rather than have any trouble, I gave McKnight notes for $1500, which represented profits I had madc through the sale of the bonds. He in- sisted that I give collateral with the notes, so I assigned to him my share in the estate of J. Gilman Chouteau. This was not the only time, either, that J found myself in trouble because of the acts of others.“ Inquiry at the Recorder's office shows that the assignment mentioned by Chouteau was made June 5. One-fourth of the estate is to go to Henri Chou- teau when the property is distribute! in 1918 after being conducted as a trust for 10 years. H, Chouteau Dyer, trustee of the estate, said ‘that much of the property is heavily incumbered and he gould not state what would be the value of Henri Chouteau's share. The as- signment shows that it was made by Chouteau to secure six notes of $250 each, payable at three-month intervals, beginning June 5. Chouteau this afternoon consulted with R. L. MeLaran, an attorney, with Laclede Buila- ing, regarding the attachment suits that have been filed. He said that he is not positive as to his future actions, but hopes to re-enter business in St. Louis. While in Birmingham, he said, he had secured options for the disposal of about $30,000 of stock in manufacturing firme that need increased capital de- cause of war orders, and that he would investigate the chances of placing the securities here.“ 2 . FROM ME, pick ou —— * AUSTRIASAID TOBE TRYING TO SATISFY US. INITS REPLY Competent Vienna Source Quoted as Being Optimistic of | Settlement of Ancona Case. WORK ON NOTE STARTED Being Framed With Sincere De- sire for Friendship, Even at Considerable Sacrifice. BERLIN, via London, Dec. 27.—s'rom a highly competent non-Austrian source in Vienna, private aavices have been received by the Associated Press tak- ing an optimistic view of the Austro- American situation. The Austrian Government, it is - clared, appears to be actuated by a sin- cere desire to preserve friendly rela- tions with the United States, even at a considerable sacrifice, and is endeavor- ing to formulate a reply to the second American note on the Ancona which the United States may deem satisfac- tory. The informant expressed the bellt that a settlement possibly would be reached and a rupture thus avoided, He could furnish no definite information in advance of the details of ne Austrian answer, but his optimism was borne out by the tone of the intimations of the Austrian Foreign Office to the Aassoci- ated Press correspondent at Vienna re- cently, which contrast strikingly with the attitude of Vienna before the dis- patch of the first note. Budapest Dispatch to London Post Says Agreement With U. S. Is Unlikely. LONDON, Dec. 7.— Count Tisza no doubt will draw up the ustro-Hun- .jgarian answer to the American note,” says the Budapest correspondent of the Morning Post. The diplomacy of Aus- tria-Hungary is in the hands of the Hungarian Prime Minister, who is known to be in a boastful temper just now. “He regards the position of the dual monarchy today, on the basis of mili- tary achievements, as strong enough to allow obstinacy to play the chief part in the affair. From political followers of the Prime Minister I understand the tone of the vete itself makes it impossible to come i¢ a friendly arrangement with America for the Premier looks upon the Ameri- can note as dictated by English in- terests and declines to be subjected to demands much less vigorous than the Austro-Hurgarian note to Servia, which brought on the world war. “The people, singularly, are not en- thusiastic over the submarine policy of Germany, copied by the Austro-Hun- garian submarine commanders, or over their superiors. When the torpedoing of the Ancona occurred the Hungarian papers had not a word of satisfaction or word of praise for the deed, and in the Lusitania case the Hungarian papers expressed dissatisfaction and there was not a word of defense expressed by the Pester Lloyd. Now that it seems likely diplomatic relations will be broken off between the United States and the monarchy, the future prospects are most painful to the people of Hungary, not because there is uch sympathy for American in this country, but because of the 2,000,000 Hun- garians thgt have established close, al- most family-like connections with the United States.“ U. 8. Disinclined to Have Any Fur- ther Ancona Correspondence. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Unoffi- clal word that the Vienna reply to the last Ancona note may be favor- able has not served to alter the atti- tude of the State Department. The word that the reply “will be uided with concern for the good re- ations” between the two countries, officials take it, means that Austria- Hungary probably expects more dip- lomatic correspondence on the sub- ject. The United States is disincline 1 to enter into any such negotiations. Pevely Dairy Business Increases 25 Per Cent, Employes Get Presents. It was an extremely happy Christmas for the 180 employes of the Pevely Dairy, as well as for the active head of the corporation, D. C. Kerckhoff. The books of the Pevely Dairy Co. show an increase in business of 2 per cent for the year, and as a token of appre- ciation for the good work done by the employes during 1915, a freshly minted gold piece was given to each one.

Frank Zarhradnik, % years old, of 500 St. George street, lost his life today in his haste to catch a street car on his way home from a Christmas celebration at the home of Willi Hriek, 5100 Berthold avenue. He was hit by an eastbound Market car, near the Mounted District Police Station in Forest Park, at 1 o'clock this morning, d died at the city hos- pital at 8:0 o’clock. His skull was frac- tured, his left leg broken and his collar bone dislocated, Ellis Delaney of 1013 Yale avenue, the motorman, said he had slowed down his car when he approached the waiting platform. He started up again, he said, just as Zarhradnik ran in front of the ear to cross the stracks. Zarhradnik was just clearing the rails when the car hit him. The motorman said he did not see Zarhadnik until he ran in front of the car. : CONDUCTOR RUNNING CAR WHEN 2.

They testified the conductor was operating the car whiie th> motorman ate his lunch, a daily practice on the road, when che ac- cident occurred. Neither was held, and a verdict of accident was returned by the jury. U. 8, ASKED TO ESTABLISH CABLE SERVICE WITH GERMANY American “rade Association in Berlin Sends Appeal to Congress and Chamber of Commerce. BERLIN, Dee. 27.—The American As- sociation of Commerce and Trade of Berlin has sent wireless messages to the Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives and the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, at Wash- ington, urging the pressing need of re- establishing cable connection with Ger- many under control of the Aterican Government on acgount.of the vital is- sues involved and asking congressional action toward the end. The messages do not go into details. but the association believes the desired result can be accomplished eithey# by taking advantage of Germany's earlier offer to turn over the severed German- American cable to the American Gov- ernment to repair and operate, or by laying a purely American cable between the United States and neutral Scandi- navia or Holland. CHILD DEATH RATE HIGH WHERE | MOTHERS WORK OUTSIDE HOMES Federal Bureau Reports on Investiga- tion as to Causes of Infant Mortality. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—~That the death rate in the United States among babies of mothers who work outside their homes is high is shown in the an- nual report today of the Federal Chil- dren's Bureau, which is conducting an inquiry into the social and economic causes of infant mortality. The report shows an average infant death rate of IA out of every 1000 babies in a steel-making and coal-mining town as against a rate of & out of every 1000 in a residential suburb. An even greater contrast is found between the more con- gested sections and the choicest resident section in each of these two communi- ties. Ki Has Nails Put is Statue. LON N. Dec. 27.—The King of Bul- Karla, according to an Amsterdam dis- patch to the Exchange Telegraph Co., has instructed his military attaches in Berlin to drive 50 golden nails into the wooden statue erected in honor of Field Marshal von Hindenburg. Each nail is to cost $25 and the proceeds are to be devoted to charities. Bergiarse Get Christmas Presents. Burglars entered the Humphrey Apart- ments at 4349 Olive street yesterday aft- ernoon and stole clothing belonging to Mrs. Anna McDearmon, her daughter, Mary I.

Most of the articles stolen were Christmas presents. Native Militia to Get the Oregon, SAN DPEGO, Cal.

B. Pryor, today filed application for a rehearing on parts ot the recent in- creased rate order of the Public Service Commission. The Wabash, tn its appli- cation, rejects the two-cent mileage book order of the commission and parts of the freight schedules and indicates that unless the motion is granted, the case will be carried to the United States courts for final determination. The Wabash is the first of the large trunk line railroads in Missouri to file objections to the terms of the commis- sion’s order, although it has been known for some time that none ‘of the rail- roads were preparing to put the new rates into effect by Jan. 1, ds they were permitted to do undér the order of com- mission. The order provides that the railroads may collect the increased tariffs 30 days after they have filed their new sched- ules. The schedules have not been filed. In their application for a rehearing attorneys for the Wabash declare that the provision by the commission for mileage books to be sold at 2 cents a mile is unlawful, because it is discrim* inatory. They also contend that the baggage rates and the freight rates on livestock are in conflict with the rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission and. discriminate in favor ot Missouri points as against points in néighboring states. ‘3. N It is charged that the rates on live- utock for points wittin Missouri con- flict with the rates fixed by the national commission on transportation of live- stock between Kansas City, Kan., and points in Missouri and that the same discrimination is made between East St. Louis and points in Missouri. Most of the stock shipped from Missouri points is handled through the large stockyards just over the State line in Illinois and Kansas.

This measure creates a system of 12 regional land banks for the “ise of farm borrowers everywhere in the United States at a low rate of interest, under control of a central board at Washington, distinct from any exist- ing .government officers or Federal rureaus This board comprising five members will have almost supreme authority over land mortgages figuring in the system. Members of the board will be appointed by the President, sub- ject to the approval of the Senate. The members of the sub-committe ou tersonal credits have been participating in the land mortgage proceedings and as the two sub-committees comprise the full joint committee the agreement on the land mortgage bill insures its speedy submission to the Senate and House. The persona) credits legislation, as separate measure, is not yet in sight, sithough there have been some hear- ings before that sub-committee and some phases of personal credits are taken care of in the land mortgage loan bill CLOTHING FIRM EXTENDS SPACE J. S. Welff Ce. Geta New Leung Lease im Present Lecation. Improved business conditions, in the district of Broadway and Washington avenue, are reflected by the decision of the J. S. Wolff Clothing Co. to ex- tend its space in the Davis block, at the northwest corner of the two streets. To obtain additional space which it needed, and to insure keeping the old and new space when its present lease expires, two years hence, the Wolff company has tak a new long lease. It will hereafter \have the entire second floor of the building, having hitherto had only the second floor space above its first-floor room. Some of the conditions which are making business locations in this neigh- borhood increasingly desirable, are the Impending completion. of the. Missouri Athletic Association building, the locat- ing of two banks in the immediate vi- cinity and the prospective removal of another to the corner named, and the progress toward. completion of the Bell Telephone and railroad ticket office building at Broadway and Locust street. In the making of the new lease, Cor- net & Zeibig represented both the Wolff Clothing Co, and the Davis estate, own- er of the building.

EMPORIA, Kan., Dec. 27.—The Kan- sas Normal School was shocked when it learned that Earl Freeman and Julia Freeman, brother and sister. and stu- dents of the school, had been married. until it was learned that the couple were brother and sister only by adop- tion, and that there was no .mpediment to their marriage.

The Monroe doctrine is a national policy of the United States. Pan-Americeanism is an international policy of the Ameri- cas. Tho motives are to an extent dif- ferent. the ends sought are the same. Both can exist without impairing the force of either. And both do exist, and, I trust, will ever exist in all their vigor. „But Pan-Americanism extends be- yond the sphere of politics and finds its application in the varied fields of human enterprise. Bearing in mind that the essential idea manifests itself in co-op- eration, it becomes necessary for et- fective co-operation that we should know each other better than we do now. pe mut not only be neighbors, but friends. not only friends, but intimates.

STORM Eight Persons Killed, Train and Tele- grun Service Crippled and Many Buildings Dan.aged. NEW «cORK, Dec. 27.—Northern and Eastern New York and New England are slowly recovering today from the damage inflicted by yesterday's storm. A succession of rain, snow, lightning, sleet and thunder, winding up with s gale that tore down wires and trees, unroofed houses and drove shipping ashore, caused wide spread damage and many deat.s and accigents. Telegraphic communication in some 8 ae still interrupted today, ow- ing to e leveling of telegraph les by the high wind. In a similar *. the signal systems of railroad lines run- ning north and northeast from New Atlantic we see Europe convulsed with the most terrible conflict which this world has ever witnessed; we see the / manhood of these gréat nations shat- tered, their homes ruined, their produc- tive energies devoted to the one purpose ‘of destroying their fellowmen. When we contemplate the untold misery which these once happy people are enduring and the heritage which they are trans- mitting to succeeding generations, We can not but contrast a continent at war and a continent at peace. The spectacle teaches a lesson we can not ignore. “If we seek the dominant ideas in world politics since we became inde- pendent nations, we will find that we won our liberties when individualism absorbed men’s thought and inspired their deeds. This idea was gradually supplanted by that of nationalism, which found expression in the ambitions of conquest and the greed for territory so manifest in the nineteenth century. Following the impulse of nationalism ths idea o internationalism began to develop. It appeared to be an increas- ing infiuence throughout the civilized world, when the present war of empires, that great manifestation of nationalism, stayed its progress in Wurope and brought. discouragement to those who had hoped that the new idea would usher in an era of universal peace and justice. “While we are not actual partici- | pants in the momentous struggle which is shattering the ideals toward which civHization was moving, and is break- ing down those principles on which in- ternationalisin is founded, we stand as anxious spectators of this most terrible example of nationalism. Let us hope that it is the final outburst of the car- dinal evils of that idea which has for nearly a century spread its baleful in- fluence over the woria. York were crippled and trains are not able to maintain their schedules. ) Eight deaths in this city were directly or indirectly attributed to the storm. The wind here at one time attained a Velocity of 90 miles an hour.

Pan-Americanism is the most advanced as well as the most practical form of that idea. It has been made possible because of our geographical isolation, of our similar political institutions, and of our common conception of human rights. Since the European war began other factors have strengthened this natural bond and given impulse to the movement. Never before have our peo- ple so fully realized the significance of the words, ‘Peace’ and ‘fraternity. Never have the need and benefit of in- ternational co-operation in every form of human activity been so evident cs they are today. “The path of opportunity lies plain vefore us Americans.

The meeting place had been changed from the Hall of the Americas in the Pan-American Bulld- ing in order better to seat the members, totaling almost 1500, men and women. Four languages were used and inter- preters provided by the State Depart- ment reduced the whole to a common tongue. The following telegram from President Wiieson to John Barrett was received: “Please present my warmest greetings to the delegates to the Pan-American scientific congress and extend to them on my behalf a most cordial welcome.

Dec. 27.—With the safe removal from the county jail here of two negroes arrested in connection with the murder of a policeman, Mus- only member of the committee who re- ceived compensation was R. McKittrick Jones, who does mos of the active work and receives $200 a month. The other members of the Liquidating Committee are E. C. Simmons and George M. Wright.

Kirby, also of counsel for the Liquidating Committee, reviewed some of the conditions which made it necessary to appoint tha committee. In the spring of 1915, he said, the banks re- fused to make further advances to the company and advised that it go out of business. At this time recetvership suits were threatened, George M.

Kirby said the Liquidating Committee was formed in the interest of all concerned and was capable of properly winding up the company ak- fairs without a receivership. Wants Immediate Activt, Julian Laughlin, counsel for the pet! tioners, and Attorney Randolph Laugh.- Un, his nephew, urged that immediate action on à receivership be taken, aa they said they feared claims against some of the company’s debtors would be barred by limitation Jan. 1 unless suits were brought to recover the company's claims. Attorney Collins told the Court some suits had already been brought and that if others were necessary they would be filed before the first of the year. Daniel G. Taylor, counsel for Thomas H. McKittrick, former president of the company, opposed the appointment of a temporary receiver, but said he favored a hearing of the receivership petition on ite merits, so as to clear up personai charges which had been recklessly made against McKittrick. Walter H. Saunders of counsel for the company referred to the receiver- ship petition as “a mingled mess of multitudinous averments.“ In urging the appointment of a tem- porary receiver, Attorney Randolph Laughlin said immediate action was de- sired so as to prevent the Liquidating Committee from paying $38,000 to the Annuity Realty Co.

To his point of view, John Verner was all that he had pictured him. Had Floyd lingered a few moments longer. however, he would have learned some facts that might have changed his Opinion of the man who had just re- fused to lend him money—for his own good, too, had he but known it. To ovtward seeming, when William Burnett, the father of Floyd, died he had left a fairly profitable business. Town gossips were puzzled, when a month after his demise the business was purchased by his oldest friend, Verner. It was known that he had given Mrs. Burnett something in the way of a purchase price. Floyd knew that this was a small amount, and had tried to learn all the details of the trans- action, but his mother had been strange- ly uncommunicative.

It was strange that with his un- formed ideas of business, impetu- ousnhess and = self-set ways, he should make his way rapidiy up the ladder of fortune, but so it was. He prospered. Within two years he was a half part- ner in a growing business. Two years later he owned it entirely.

He learned fur- ther that he had died poor. His busi- ness had slowly faded away into noth- ingness; so much so that when it had been settled up there was little left but debts. 8 To enforce the sentiment, he made out seated on the curb of,the burial lot a young girl. in mourning. She’ was Mary Verner. His heart smote him at the sight of her sad, beautiful face. Then his eyes flashed, for Kneeling at the newly made mound, having just placed upon it a wreath of immortelies, was—his mother. He strode towards her, angered, indignant. eme away at once! he cried, seiz- ing her arm almost roughly. “My son!“ she spoke in glad welcome: and then:* “‘No, I must not go away until here, at this holy spot, I have told you all.“ Lower and lower went his head as the true story was fluttered forth at last —how Mr. Verner really had taken over Mr. Burnett's business before his death and at a loss to protect the latter from possible’ crimnal prosecution. The business had failed later to succeed, and poor Mary was now beggared. Floyd Burnett was a business man. In a businesslike way he proceeded to restore to her what his father’s trou- bles had cost Mr. Verner. Before the restitution was complete, however, the softened heart of the peni- tent Floyd had realized the whole worth of this gentle, true-hearted girl, and Mrs. Burnett had a new daughter to love and cherish.

Eric knew that I loved him, and I knew my love was, returned. It hap- pened one beautiful afternoon, when, following my usual custom, I walked home through the park. How it happened I could never re- member, but as if it were yesterday I temember. Eric's pleading: ou are unhappy, dear. There is no reason why you should remain so. You have no children, no ties.

You wiil always miss the best in life if you think of others, and what they may think. Convention has been your God, a fetish as well as a religion—and love.“ Then contritely, Forgive me, forgive me! I will not offend again.” Eric walked all the way home with me. As he leaned to me when I stood on the steps above him I was buoy- antly conscious in every surge of my blood tha he loved me as I loved him. When hu took my hand in his two strong, warm ones, he sent a wave of courage through me that remained many long hours. For some time I had been turning ar idea over in my mind. I would be in- dependent. Tf would do something by which I could earn money and so be epared the humiliation of asking for every penny I had, the self abasement that was mine when it was refused. The idea grew and grew. Sleeping I dreamed of ‘t, waking it occupied mg thoughts, I began to take an intere or managed by women. I borrowed the woman's magazines from Mrs. Larkin and read of the successftil women of the business world. i In all the stories I had read of women going into business one secret of their success had been their abil- ity to care for the financial end of it themselves, instead of intrusting it to others. I immediately began the stuiy of mathematics, not in a de- sultory way, but so many hours a day. Then I procured a book which taught a simple method of book- keeping. This I studied for weeks be- fore I bought one more advanced. I spent hours selling and Keeping ac- count of imaginary material. It may seem that I was beginning in a pe- cullar way to fit myself for doing something. But the idea had taken such possession of me that I woul waste no time, and I figured that a knowledge of bookkeeping was nec- essary in any business. It was such a little thing that de- cided me. One afternoon I was hav- The Tree Goblins Sandman story of the squirrel who followed a nut after it fell down a hole in the ground. By Mrs. F. A. Walker.

You certainly would have made a successful one.“ (TO BE CONTINUED.) | —— — How to help Prevent Disease HE majority of people do not re- alize how very much serious trouble can be traced to the dis- eases of childhood—those common, fa- miliar, so-called children’s diseases. It is because there seems to exist so much apparent carelessness and indif- ference regarding them that the mat- ter should be presented for thought, for it is at this point that pophylaxis is most earnestly urged. Many of the children’s diseases are most “catching” in the early stages— before a doctor has been called, and often doctors, at the very first, can- not tell positively just what is the mat- ter. For example, measies is most catch- ing at the very start, when the child who has it has no other sign of being ill except a running nose. Now this is such a common thing for children to have that little or no weight is attached to it, but such a child is a carrier of disease, and he may go to school and to other places, not feeling sick enough to be kept at home, and in that way he may infect any number of tio een out of sorts ar taught to be more than careful put things into its mouth.

One day he was searching among the leaves when, bang!“ there fell from the branch above him the largest nut he had ever seen. : Gray Tail ran after it as fast as he could go, but the nut, instead of stop- ping, seemed to roll away. Gray Tail had almost caught up with it, when the nut disappeared in a hole in the ground. Gray Tail went right after it, and as the nut went bounding down the hole he followed it. “I wonder where that nut is going?’ he asked himself, and just then he saw the nut go bang against a from which sap was dripping. “Now we have to store all that sap.“ said Goblin, “and in the spring we have to put it all back in the trees again. Then in between we have to get the nut growing, so that we are busy all the year round.” “Well, this is very interesting.“ said Gray Tail, and I should particularly like to watch you when you put that sap back in the spring.“ We will be very glad to have you come down,“ said Goblin, “if you will promise not to get in the way and inter- tere with the work.“ black opossum, natural raccoon, .

ST CTY WIGKEDNESS AND RURAL VIRTUE Familiar Formula Worked Out Without Exaggérated Types in Shubert Drama. By CARLOS F. HURD. ITY and Sin are synonymous ( . words, and Virtue’s only address is on the rural free delivery route. This is a standard formula of play- wrights, and it has been used in making several plays which have appealed even more strongly to city people than to those from the country. The city people, seeing the wickedness of their sur- roundings, as these plays showed them, came to feel an honest pride in having kept out of jail. Whereas the country people saw no occasion to plume them- selves on having escaped the tempta- tions which, according to the play- Wrights, did not exist in their home towns. And beside, they knew too much about rural life to accept this picture of it as a true one. The standard formula has been fol- lowed in the making of Owen Davis’ play, Sinners, which began a week's engagement at the Shubert Theater last night. There is the usual small town girl, who goes to the city, gets close to the brink of the yawning abyss, and is rescued by a narrow squeak. But while sticking to the good-country-and-wicked- city idea, the maker of this play has also chosen to show that, even in the city’s wickedness, there is “good in the worst of us.” At least, there is good in the two worst women shown in the play. The two men whose lives are linked with theirs, show no trace of good. They are dead souls, stalking about in human bodies. Not even Eugene’ Walter, in „The Easiest Way.“ pictured this type of man quite so mercilessly. Starts With Poker Game. The opening scene of Sinners“ show? a poker game, in which Hilda Newton is hostess, in the New York apartment for which the rich and gross Wille Morgan is paying. Another pair is sit- ting in“ the game, and when the man quotes something his wife said, the wom- an silences him with No man of any real class mentions such matters us his wife in the presence of the lady he's keeping company with.” The fifth hand in the game is taken by Bob Merrick, who has made his money in a remote mining field, has been jilted while was making it, and who announces, per- haps oftener than is necessary, that he is looking for a good time. Hilda’s apartment, just at this time, t« the shelter of Mary Horton, from Hilda's home town in New Hampshire, who has been looking for work six weeks in New York, and who has found only one job, which she had to give up because of her employer's behavior toward her. Mer- ‘rick is attracted by the girl, and Mor- gan, who is “cultivating” Merrick in 3 business way, proposes a trip to Atiantiv City, in which Mary shall go along to keep Merrick from being an odd num- ber. A taste of city gayety will be enough to prepare Mary for this jour- ney, Morgan thinks, and he demands Hilda’s help. Hilda refuses to be party to any trickery, declaring that ne * ae “tT? Mary makes up her mind to go to heli, she's got to go with her eyes wide oper, and not miss any of the scenery.“ Merrick, too, has a conscience, and evon when Mary, desperate from anoth- er day’s failure, accepts Morgan's invi- tation to a supper for six, Merrick de- murs. Mary insists on going, and she has just put on one of Hilda’s decollete gowns, when Horace Worth, from Marys home town, appears, bringing news of the critical illness of Mary's mother. He knows Hilda, and he forms a quick ‘conclusion as to the meanirg of Mary's presence in such a place. “Put on a decent dress and come away fror here,” is his command, and Mary obeys. Scene Shifts to Country. In the second act, Mary, back home with her convalescent mother, is visited by the five poker players, Morgan hav- ing taken the rest there in the course of an automobile tour, with a view to re newing Merrick’s acquaintance with Mary. The mother welcomes the visit- ors, rejoices over Hiléa’s supposed mar- riage to Morgan, and as it is Sunday evening, proposes that they sing hymns. The song chosen is “Binners, Jesus Will Receive.” This singing affects Hilda deeply and Merrick joins in it, but Morgan and the other man are merely bored. Their disdainful expressions seemed to amuse last night's audience greatly, al- though it would not appear that the playwright meant this scene to be laughed at. With the help of the town doctor, who has long loved the wayward Hilda, and of the hired girl in Mary's home, whe shows Horace Worth to be a hypocrite the story is carried to the point where Mary is about to become Mrs. Merrick, and Hilda forsakes the white-way life. There is an inconsistency in the char- acter of Horace Worth, which seems due to the author rather than to H. E Humphrey, who played the part. In his brief appearance in the first act, Worth does exactly his duty, and is ex- cusable in his wrong deductions. Later, Jer in a city, and if not, how hes got education. the National Remedy of Holland. will do Lis medical “MY HOME TOWN GIRL” PLEASING MUSICAL COMEDY If the Average Theater Goer, who is looking for entertainment, will take out a pencil and write down, one under the other, the words, Dainty, Pleasing, Tuneful and Refreshing, and then draw a line and add them up, the result will be “My Home Town Girl,“ a musical comedy of the Chicago brand, which came to the Olympic Theater last night with John Hyams and Lelie Mcintyre as the stars, and a company of more than ordinary merit. As a matter of fact, this little-heralded offering, which did not originate in New York, and is not even headed that way for the pres- ent at least, is one of the best musical shows which has come to town in many a day. “My Home Town Girl” abounds in catchy little songs and situations, and while the story is as thin as musical comedy plot is supposed to be, it car- ries out the idea that Dorothy May awn has come to New York from Michigan, meets a gilded city youth hero of a taousand or more love at- fairs, and, at the end of the second act, has him so completely under her spell that they both give up the White Lights and start for home in the town where the furniture comes from. Of course the Girl is accompanied to New York by a gay uncle, who meets a former Florodora sextetter in the person of Mme. Martie, now conducting The Bride Shop; and equally of course, there are models and salesgirls in the shop who cause the usual number of musical comedy complications, but in the end, just about the time the Girl and her youth are starting for the West everything is untangled, and Virtue tri- umphs prety generally and comes into its just reward. John Hyams is the New York youth and Miss McIntyre is Dorothy. Both are excellent entertainers, and both are on the stage most of the time. Eda von Luke is funny in an Emma Janvier sort of way as. the ex- Florogora girl. Dud- ley Courtland and Alma Youlin sing de- ligntfully. Princess Reopens With Thurston; Will Piay Mostly Straight Drama. The Princess Theater, on Grand ave- nue, near Olive street, reopened yester- day and the new management found en- couragement in the hope that it will stay open for the rest of the season. Thurs- ton the Magician, the first week’s attrac- tion, is not exactly typical of the bills the Princess is to present, most of which will be of a straight dramatic sort. But he is a popular entertainer, and he showed all the tricks in his big box. Four matinees a week will be given at the Princess.

This scandal for the highbrows of har- mony occurred in selections from Ivan Caryll’s music to the comic opera, in-Chin,“ one of which was brazenly labeled in the program, Ragtime Tem- ple Bells.“ That Director Zach's lapse into rag made a hit goes without saying. Even the purists must have confessed that they experienced a singular tingling in the region of the pedal extremities; and as for most of the audience, it applaud- ed the lively music quite shamelessly. Strangely enough, the occasion chosen for the orchestra's ragtime debut was in the midst of a program rather higher in quality than is usually heard at the pop concerts.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Scene—Fight night in Madison Square Garden. An- nouncer Joe Humphries speaking: “In this corner, Gershon Mendeloff, EXngland’s favorite boxer. In this cor- ner, fens, California’s pride!“ Howls of derision from the throng, with many cries of We want our money back!! “We didn’t come here to see a = of stiffs!” Fraud!“ Robbers!“ This all might happen in the Garden tomorrow night, but it won't. Instead. Humpries wili introduce Ted Lewis and Willie Ritchie in their first public ap- pearance as self-confessed welter- weights. Gershon Mendeloff and Gary Steffens will do the fighting, however, for these happen to be the real names of the young warriors. Hist! It’s His Real Name! Mendeloff had the name of Lewis thrust upon him in England in his first start as a boxer. Three times he gave his full name to the master of cere- monies, who finally shoox his head and christened him Ted Lewis, because it was not such a mouthful. Garry Steffens became Willie Ritchie because his parents did not approve of boxing. Now the boys hear their right Lames so seldom that they would be unlikely to turn around if hailed by them in a crowd. By the way, Ritchie and Lewis have made such a sensible move that one wonders why other boxers of note had not anticipated their lead. WII- lie Ritchie and Ted Lewis are the smart ones. Both are on the heavy side of 135 pounds and find 138-140 a much more comfortable notch. Therefore they have thrown off the lightweight shackles and become self-confessed welterweights for the sake of argument, and the argument will take place in Madison Square Garden tomorrow. It’s a Queer Angle. Just why the welterweight division has been so spurned and neglected, while boxers whose poundage put in that class, have is difficult to boxers parading made the low er physical torture that left them too weak to do themselves ustice in the ring.

HAT Jess Willard will ‘‘risk’’ his title against Fred Fulton in the next three months is practically certain, in spite of the announce- ment of the New Orleans promoters that, as far as they are concerned, the contest is off. In all probability, however, the bout will degenerate into a 10-roun« no-decision affair, the scene of which will be either New York or Milwau- kee; There seems just as much “risk” for Willard in 10 rounds as in 20— or 30 or 40, for that matter. He can't lose his title, short of a knockout, in a no-decision affair, and most crit- ics seem to think there is no chance whatever for Fulton to take it from him in a long one. For the shorter route Willard his alrea iy been offered a $25,000 purse. This would mean at the very one $15,000 for Willard. If he doesn't Bree this offer while it’s hot, he'll have to be considered deficient in the sec- ond story. 5 ‘ Here’s $40,000 for Willard. A short fight with Fulton, fol- lowed by a longer one with either Coffey or Moran, ‘ought to enrich the Willard N88 uer to the extent of at least 0,009. Whichever way the cat jum a the champion will not have to fight the wee away from his threshold next April In fact, one year from the date of his fight with Johnson will see Willard probably $100,- 000 richer than he was April 5, the day he stepped inte that Havana ring with the well-lard- ed old colored * Johnson. — * No Con' in Consolidation. IG league baseball's financial stringency seems sure to be ded next season, following the honsolidation of the three leagues in two. The effect of wars an their subsequent settlement can be noted in this city, in the soccer situation. Last year, with twe football leagues operating and the “war” disgusting fans, the combined attendance at local parks was far below the Sunday averages this year, with only ONE league in existence, For that reason the purchasers of the Browns and of the Cubs will have no reason to fear the outcome of their in- vestments, even though they pay what seems excessive prices for the proper- ties.

A conference the latter part of this week between Fielder Jones and Branch Rickey should help materially in clear- ing up the local baseball situation. There is a lot of work to be done, too much for one Man even to attempt. Since the consoNdation of the Browns and Terriers the reserve list of the for- mer team, the survivor in the fight for existence, totals 59. At least 30 of these men will be placed in the minor leagues and if they are to be “farmed out’ sys- tematically, the job will require a lot of attention. For that reason Rickey will be retained in some capacity by the new Browns, if Branch ts amenable to a rea- sonable proposition. Fielder Jones is scheduled to arrive here Thursday morning. Rickey may enter appearance at an earlier date. A week hence, therefore, the good ship ied ag should be under full steam ahe Plenty of Material for Rickey. There are great possibilities for Rickey under this new regime at Sportsman’s Park. He has so many desirable ball- players to place in leagues of lower classification that he should be able to work up valuable affillations with the minors. — And there are no greater assets for a major league club than its minor league connections. Rickey prides himself on the “connections” he already es- tablished for the Browns among the foremost minor leagues. Last season he had the pick of the P.ochester club in the International and a majority of the clubs in the Southern League. He also had several Western League teams ‘sewed up.“ Indeed, Rickey’s mic dle name is sys- tem. He served only three years with the Browns, but he had attained many things in that time. His system was just beginning to bear fruit when he was sent to the guillotine by the peace treaty. Some people are inclined to scoff at Rickey’s scheme. System or no sys- tem, sald a Brown rooter yesterday. ‘the Browns were almost last, weren t they?“ This doesn't detract one ſota from Rickey's ability as an organizer. It's no fault of his that Rochester, Nash- ville, Wichita, Memphis and other clubs on which he had first claim didn't de- velop a few stars. And it’s not a cinch et that they didn’t. We'll have to — a peek at Paulette, Hoff, Lee et al., before we believe that they didn't. Rickey Produced Stars. But the idea is this: With Rickey's ability to acquire minor league affilia- tions and considering the wealth of ma- terial he will have to — with in the next two months, manager of Fielder Jones’ capabilities should expe- rience no trouble a year hence in ac- quiring desirable men from the lower leagues. If Rickey can continue to produce Sislers, Koobs, Walkers and Lavans, a man like Jones should reciprocate with an occasional pennant. We can't for a minute regard any other combination between business office and field man- ager in either le le as being more ideal than the Rickey-Jones combine. Eventually it should take its place at the top of the major league heap, be- eause it's founded on sound business principles. Muzzling Johnny Evers.

The dinner must o' been about half through when Smithy leans over and tells me it’s about time I was loosenin’ up and startin’ to spend some o' the money they'd gave me for banker.

By this time Higgins is | on the verge o' singin’, but it was all right, every one else around there seem- in’ good-natured, and nobody mindin'. Then Genevieve and me sneaks over to where the floor’s cleared off and has a nics dance.

Are you feelin’ ill, old sport, hooray?” No, I'm dyin’, old sport, hooray!’ I says, ‘and so will you be in a minute.
