BONUS WITH THEM OF NEARLY $125,000 Bill Giving Kelly $16,000 for His Loss Was Vetoed by Executive—Scheme for Disposing of Bonds His Own, He Says. H. wa Kelly of the Kansas City broker- age firm of Kelly & Keliy has made to the Post-Dispatch a detailed state ment of the circumstances of the turning over by the State of . 250,000 of capitol bonds in April, 1913, to the Mercantile Trust Co., with a bonus of neariy $125,000, in which he charges that Gov. Major broke an agreement that the bonds would be delivered to a buyer obtained by Kelly. Kelly contends that the Gover. nor’s action ultimately will cost the State between $30,000 and $40,000 addi- tional because of a claim he holds against the State. Attorney-General Barker, Auditor Gordon and Treasurer Deal, who, with the Governor, compose the Fund Commission, have admitted that Kelly has a valid claim. The details of the bond transaction are today given for the first time. Kelly at the last session of the Legislature submitted his claim. It went in. with several hundred other claims and re- ceived no public attention, but even this amount was vetoed by Gov. Major.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Feb. 7.—Stanford campus buzzed today with discussion of a speech made to the students last night by Chancellor Da- vid Starr Jordan, who said there were “too many ‘low brows’ in colleges.” “A lowbrow,” he explained, was only one degree removed from a ‘“rough- neck.“ The lowbrow“ was too practi- cal, just as the “highbrow” was not practical enough. Dr. Jordan’s subject was “A Man,” and he told his hearers it was a good thing to learn to be in the minority. PASTOR TO STUMP FOR DEFENSE New York Preacher Resigns to Lec- tare on Preparedness.

Ellerbrock Last in Of- fice of Harrigan & Sheehan a Week Ago. POLICE SEARCH FOR HIM Audit Being Made of Firm’s Books—tTrusted Employe Was Not Bonded. Edwin C. Ellerbrock of 3338A Blair avenue, the Harrigan & Sheahan Livery and Undertaking Co., is being sought by city detectives, following the discovery of a shortage in his accounts: Law- rence P. Harrigan of 5630 Delmar boule- vard, president of the firm, today said an unfinished audit of the books had disclosed discrepancies so far totaling about 3600. Harrigan said Ellerbrock had not re- ported for work since last Tuesday, and that the audit was started shortly aft- r. As Ellerbrock worked in the dual capacity of collector and bookkeeper, the firm is communicating with its cus- tomers to learn what receipts they hold for payments to Ellerbrock, so that a complete check of the books can be made. A Post-Dispatch reporter learned that a familiar police term, The Blotter,” has been used by the firm ever since it was founded by former Chief of Po- lice Harrigan, father of the present head of the concern. Chief Harrigan had the words, “The Blotter.“ printed on his account books, and that system still is followed. At every police station the book in which names of prisoners is recorded is known as The Blotter.” Asks for Search, John J. Sheahan, vice president of the firm, is a member of the Police Board. Last week he requested that a police search be made quietly for Eller- brock. The fact that search was being made became known at police headquar- that a discrepancy of several thousand dollars had been fought in the Harrigan & Sheahan books. Harrigan laughed. had “Seen with the firm eight. years, and that they never had considered it necessary t. have him bonded. ‘Mrs. Ellerbrock, at her home, said her husband had not been there since Thurs- day night and that she had had no word from him.

She declared her father-in-law, Dr. Edward Ellerbrock of 1416 Hebert street. had asked her not to talk about her tusband’s affairs. Dr. Ellerbrock was Financiers refused to handle the bonds because of the low interest rate. Money in that class of securities was worth 4% per cent and the interest on the bonds was only 3% per cent. The construction of the new capitol could not be begun until the bonds were sold.

JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 7.—The audit of the records of Cole County, filed with the County Court by Auditor Gordor today, discloses that present and for- mer county officials owe the county $6174.97 and the State $1032.78. F. W. Roer, whose petition in bank ruptey is now in the Federal Court, owes the county and State $1975.03, ac- cording to the report, while D. C.

W. Pe- ters after the Post-Dispatch had pub- lished the fact that former Collectors of Cole County had been charging a fee for indexing the records. : The audit was completed last October by the examiners and turned over to the Auditor, but was not filed until today. The amounts which the various offi- cilals owe the county, according to the report, in addition to those of McClung and Roer, are: T. B. Mahan, former Recorder, $100 indexing fee; S. H.

JUSTIFIES HER Says, However, That Killing of Americans on the Lusitania Was Unintentional. COURSE, WASHINGTON, Feb. agreed that reprisals must not be direct- ed against any other than enemy sub- jects. This expression is offered by Germany to take the place of the phrase illegal, wic in the draft of the under con- 7. Germany has containing the word was incorporated Lusitania agreement now sideration. It also became known that Germany expresses the hope that it may have the opportunity to co-operate with the Uni- ed States in some action looking toward the freedom of the seas before the end of the war. This statement is taken in high diplomatic circles to imply that the Berlin Government sees no occasion to await the cessation of hostilities before settling that issue. Furthermore, the German Government refers to the British blockade of Ger- many as being inhumane, calls atten- tion to the fact that neutral vessels have been affected by the efforts of the British Government to starve Germary, and puts forth the contention that the German retaliation in the North Sea .s justified by the actions of Great Brit- ain. Claims that the reprisais are iegal are not mentioned Americans Killed Unintentionaliy. As has been previously stated, Zer- many says in the communication that the killing of citizens of the United States was without intent and that the method of conducting warfare in the war zone around the British Isles has been changed out of regard for the long- standing friendship between the United States and Germany and because Amer- ican lives were lost.

Secretary Lansing today denied that |] new demands had been made in the Lusitania case at a time when the German Government considered the ne- gotiations practically were at an end. He was speaking of the Berlin dis- patches quoting the references by Dr. Zimmermann, German Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, to new demands. Lansing Doubts Statement. He said he doubted if Dr. Zimmer- mann ever made the statement that new demands had been injected because he must know that it is “utterly false.” Secretary Lansing would not go into details or discuss Dr. Zimmermann’s statement further, When Dr. Zimmermann's statement was published in this country, however, his reference to new demands was taken to apply to a possible construction on the word illegal“ in the proposed form of settlement. The only ground Amer- ican officials could find for construing as that embodying a new demand was the possibility that it might be consid- ered applicable not alone to the destruc- tion of neutrals on the Lusitania, but also to the method by which she was sunk. Secretary Lansing repeated he exnect- ed to confer with President Wilson to- day. He made it known the State De- partment considered the situation un- changed. There was rio indication whether the President had decided that Germany’s latest proposal was satisfactory or un- satisfactory.

The text of Count von Bernstorff s note delivered to Secretary Lansing, Sept. 1, 1915, was as follows: “My Dear Secretary—With reference to our conversation of this morning, f beg to inform you that my instructions concerning our answer to your last Lusitania note contain the following passage: “ ‘Liners will not be sunk by our sub- marines without warning and without safety of the lives of noncombatants provided that the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance.’ „Although I know you do not wish to discuss the Lusitania question till the Arabic incident has been definitely and satisfactorily settled, I desire to inform you of the above because this policy of my Government was decided on before the Arabic incident occurred. “T have no objections to your making ony eee ey eee oe ener information. remain, my dear Mr. Lansing, sin - * enly say, that in view of its clear- ness it seemed needless to make any comment in regard to it other than to say that it appears to be a recognitior of the fundamental eee tor whicn we have contended.” The principal consideration of the ~~ Continued om Page * Column 1, CAMBRIA STEEL 60. cerns Fails and Midvale Com- pany Buys Firm. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.—Control of the Cambria Steel Co., one of the largest of the independent steel con- cerns, has been purchased by the Mid- vale Steel & Ordinance Co., of Philadel- rhia. Announcement to this effect was made today by W. H. Donner, president of the Cambria company. W. E. Corey is one of the principal owners of the Midvale company. The purchase price was $81 per share. Par value of Cambria stock is $50 a share. There was a scene of excitement on the Stock Exchange here when the opening song rang today, due to the announcement of the failure of the pro- posed merger of the Cambria Steel, Lackawanna . Steel and Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. The stock of the Cambria company had advanced briskly on Saturday from 74% to 78, closing ai 77%. Today's opening was 6 to 75. The stock quickly advanced again to 79%. In the first hour and a quarter the transactions amounted to 109,272 shares, breaking all records for the stock and exceeding in activity any dealing in a single stock since the excitement in Reading shares in 1893. Soon after tne exchange opened a statement to shareholders was issued by the three men who had been active in the proposed merger, E. T. Stotes- bury, W. H. Donner and J. L. Rep- logle. The statement read: „While it is true as reported that the negotiations for the combination of Cambria Steel Co. with other steel com- panies, has been abandoned, it ‘s be- sirable that the stockholders should be advised that other negotiations for sale of the stock have been practically con- summated at $81 per share.“ Later Donner unofficially stated the new purchaser of the Cambria com- pany is the Midvale company. The total outstanding Cambria stock amounts to 450,000 shares and it is be- lieved that the deal involved in the neighborhood of $20,000,000.

TROUBLE OVER GRAIN A eutonic Allies Accused of Hav- ing Interfered in Internal Affairs of Rumania. “ Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch and the New York World. LONDON, Feb. 7.—Reports of greatly increasing tension bétween Rumania and the central Powers come from Italy and from Rumania itself. The Milan Secolo, as quoted by the Daily News correspondent, accuses Austria and Ger- many of having interfered directly in the internal affairs of Rumania by is- suing wha: amounts to a threat of war in the event of the election of two Laown advocates of intervention in ment, together with the proposed sale of Rumania’s surplus grain supplies io Great Britain. ‘Germany and Austria, the correspond- ent says, have given notice that they will consider these two events “as acts hostile to the central Powers, which will take measures accordingly.” Dispatches at the same time to the Chronicle from Marmornitz, Rumania, say that the central Powers have de- manded the demobilization of the Ru- manian army and “a neutrality favor- able to the central Powers.“ Troops Massed on Danube. The —— says a marked in- crease in the concentration of Ruma- nian troops on the Danube opposite the Hungarian frontier has recently taken place. The election difficulty, according to the Secolo, arose over the candidacy of 4itwo refugees from Transylvania, a priest named Lucais, and poet named Coga for the Rumanian Parliament in by-elections at Galatz and Caracul. Both in their canvass were outspoken in their demand for Rumanian inter- vention on the side of the allies. As a result of the German and Aus- trian representations, however, the Secolo goes on, the Government put every possible secret obstacle in the way of these candidates, without open- ly opposing them, which it could not do under the Constitution. The under- hand opposition was so strong, it is said, that bcth were compelled to with- draw from the election, and as a result of this it is reported that all the inter- ventionist members of the Parliament plan to resign in a body as a protest against Premier Bratiano’s tactics. The subject of Rumania’s great har- vest has been a vexed question between her Government and the central Pow- ers, ever since th beginning of the war. Rumania being an agricultural country, her prosperity is dependent upon mar- keting her harvests. She has been cut off to a large extent from outside mar- kets, however, by the closing of the Dardanelles England Offers to Take Grain. The apparent solution was found some lume ago, when it was announced that the Gritish Government had agreed to buy Rumania's surplus grain, amount- pears that Germany hopes to block this | sale if it is possible. Rumania’s reply to the German pro- test is said by the Secolo to have been that the matter was not a political ques- tent could possibly enter into her desire best terms obtainable. Arrest of 15 Members of Bulgarian Parliament Is Requested. SOFIA, Feb. 7.—The State Attorney has asked the Bulgarian Parliament) for authority to arrest 15 of its members, constituting the so-called Ghenadiet group (adherents of M.

You don’t give up your money 4 first before you buy a suit of clothes —you try on the clothes first. So it is with the food you buy—furni- ture; shoes; a house—almostevery- thing. But a year in advance, nearly d million men and women say to the publishers of THE LAS Home JouRNAL: Here's my money for a year of your magazine. I don't know what you will give me for it, but I trust you.” This is confidence, but confi- dence based on something. It rests on what has gone before. It is a greater achievement than most folks stop to figure out when not one, or a hundred, or a thousand, or a hundred thousand, but actu- ally a million and seven hundred thousand men and women put down 15 cents every month or $1.50 a year, in advance, for an article they haven’t examined or seen. This makes stewardship out of editorship. That’s the basis on which THE LADIES’ HOME JOURNALis edited—to make good an obligation. Why not give us your confi- dence? Just try a copy of , The Ladies’ HOME JOURNAL It’s only 15 cents I A POISON NEEDLE! Uplifting Episode Portrayed “Kick In,” Crook Play, at Olympic. in By CARLOS F. HUR p. N behalf of the visiting yeggmen, O ‘we wish to express our marked appreciation of the deft and Juinty manner in which the poison nee- dle is handled in Kick In“ this week’s play at the Olympic Theater. The poison needle is a New York in- stitution, which has not been much ex- rioited here, though we used to hear echoes of its dire deeds in its own habi- tat. Beautiful heiress innocently sam- pling fudge in candy store just off Riv- erside Drive—villain thrusts poison nee- die into her wrist—girl falls in stupor— closed taxicab outside—kidnaping mys- tery, ransom and ali the rest of it. So the near-news tales of a couple of years ago used to run. Well, the use made of the toxic in- strument in Kick In” is a much more commendable one. A wife uses it on a “bull” who has “double crossed” her husband, and who, having made him “kick in“ with the “rocks” that he didn’t “‘glom,” without even “fanning’’ him, is going to “slough” him to the “big house” as a “gun.” (For defini- nitions, see A Glossary of Underworld Terms,“ kindly provided by the Olym- pic's management in this week’s printed program.) As stated, in code, in the preceding Paragraph, Chick!“ Hewes didn’t steal the diamonds himself, and though they were in his possession, that was a mat- ter which could be explained in not more than a half hour of rapid talk of the police headquarters style. To tell it in even less time, he got them unexpectedly from his wife's brother, Charlie, whose face ran to Chalky effects, and whose left arm bore a series of punctures that told the story. To add a lucid term to one contained in the program slossary, rother-in-law Ch 90 ee arlie was a hop Charlie Furnishes Needle. Charlie had stolen the diamonds from a wounded and dying robber, whom Chick, a reformed crook, had taken into the attic of his boarding place. The “bulls” were satisfied that Chick and his wife, who was never a crook, but who had taken up her husband’s line of crook acquaintances, knew where the robber was. Chick and his wife were taken to headquarters and questioned, and returned home to find that the wounded man upstairs had ‘died on them.” With much trouble they get rid of his body, and are just getting ready to go to the theater—in evening dress, if you please—when Chick discovers where the missing diamonds are, and gets them away from Brother-in-law Charlie, whom Chick and his wife have previously divested of his highly charged hypodermic needle. Before Chick can decide which way to go with the jewels, Whip Fogarty, one of the bulls,“ calls and holds forth such a line of immunity promises that Chick turns the diamonds over to him Fogarty, promptly “double-crossing”’ the pair, orders them to come to headquar ters with him, and Chick, made des- perate, seizes him and tries to disarm him. While they grapple, Mrs. Chick inserts the poison needle, which is Brother Charlie's trusty hypo.“ A force pum» could not do the work better, for in a moment the jaw of the victorious bull“ begins to droop, and he is soon extended on the floor, while Chick, again pos- sessed of the diamonds, fares forth in ‘search of better terms with the consti- tuted authorities. Does he “get away with it?“ Well, the bulls“ get the diamonds they were after, and while a police department isn’t merely a collection agency, those particular diamonds were a big consid- eration—and the deputy police commis sioner has two children at home. It may not be clear what the children have to do with it, but the children of hard- hearted police officials have adminis- tered absent treatmerit to other crook plays in the last act, and Willard Mack, who wrote “Kick In” for Al H. Woods, knew just when and where to introduce touching references to these nonappear- ing juvenile characters. “Hop Head” Well Portrayed. The cast made a good impression, pare ticularly Forrest Winant in the role of the drug addict, and Joseph Slaytor az the aggressive bull.“ John Sharkey, a St. Louisan, supplied the physical pro- portions and the rasping tones which comport with the character of a stage police official. George Henry Tilton Jr. had the part of the reformed crook, which was taken in the New York pro- duction by John Barrymore. Margot Williams, as the wife, was a pleasing. figure in the play’s sordid surroundings, Beatrice Noyes, in a minor role, gave last night’s small audience its heartiest laugh of the evening, by a wholly ir- relevant reference to the situation of the “alleys” in the European war. ixes,” Back at Shubert, ns Laughs. There is not a scene or a situation in Edward Peple’s “A Pair of Sixes,” which opened its third visit to St. Louis at the Shubert last night, in which there is not a good laugh. “A Pair of Sixes’ is a farce in all that a farce means, and Harry Stubbs, who does most of the entertaining as T.

Miss Busch is the second daughter of August A. Busch, the brewer, who re- cently inherited a fourth of his father’s $25,000,000 estate. She is one of five chil- dren. She is 18 years old, and made her debut about 18 months ago at Sunset Hill Country Club. Orthwein is a son of William D. Orth- wein of 15 Portland place, a wealthy grain broker. He is 26 years old and is employed as an illustrator by an ad- vertising company. He was graduated at Yale in 1912 and studied art in Mu- nich until shortly before the war. Orthwein has been Miss Busch’s-escort to all the functions which she has at- tended recently, and for some time it had been known among their friends that their engagement was to be an- nounced. The date of the dinner wil) be fixed as soon as it can be learned when Orthwein's mother can return from Hot Springs, Va. „ Mr. Busch said cevers would be laid for 24 persone and that outside of the family there would be only a few inti- mate friends present.

At a mass meeting at Temple Israel last night about $16,000 was subscribed to the fund being raised to aid Jews in Europe who are suffering because of the war. This makes a total of about $60,000 raised in St. Louis for this pur- pose, $44,000 having been subscribed or collected by solicitation and by the sale of tags on Jan. 27. the day set aside by President Wilson for Jewish relief. Rabbi Leon Harrison made an address describing the suffering of the Jews in Calicia and Russian Poland. These two sections of Europe have been the battle- fields of the great campaigns of the Austro-Germans and the Russians, re- sulting in the devastation of much of the country. -He told how the nation- wide relief work in the last two weeka has raised $2,500,000 for the Jews. It is hoped to double this sum, he said. The appeal for funds has been made not only to Jews but to people of every race and creed. In the audience of more than 80 at Temple [srael last night were many who were not eJws. One of the principal speakers was Bisnop Daniel 8 Tuttle, who reminded the audience of the debt Christianity owes to the Jews. Short talks also were made by John G.

It indicates only its view as té one method of preparation. Fortunately the President is not unalterably committed to one method. He does not insist upon the continental army. In his speeches he repeatedly said that he is willing to accept any good plan; he does not presume to say that his plan is. better than any other, but has an open mind. 3 Whatever may be the plan adopted by Congress, ene point should be provided for; the control of the reserve forces, whether National Guard or other organization is preferred, should be in the hands of the Federal Government. The Govern- ment should have the power to enforce efficiency. Under the present system the National Guard is divided into 48 sections each under, control of a different political head, subject to political influ- ence in the appointment of officers. It is not an efficient national defense force, and in case of war might be officered by a host of incompetents requiring for efficient service more training than raw recruits in the ranks. The guard will have to be reorganized under Federal supervision. It is fuli time for Americans, on all questions of American progress and welfare and partic- ularly on the question of national defense, to think nationally. In preparing for the pro- tection or advancement of our common na- tional interests, let us forget we are citizens of states for this purpose we are citizens of the United States. wb Important, however, as adequate land defenses are, they do not equal in importance sea defenses. The navy is our first line of defense. Keeping an enemy away from our shores is incomparably bet- ter than whipping him after he lands. We might survive | some blundering on land preparedness, but neglect and mistakes in naval preparation would be fatal. The people expect prompt and wise defense ac- tion on the part of Congress.

Attendants on the Dickens Fellowship conven- tion will assist today in St. Louis’ observance of the 104th anniversary of the novelist’s birthday. It is an interesting circumstance that many spe- cific lines of ameliorative effort which did not as- sume an organized form until after Dickens’ death find in his works a more direct guide and in- spiration than in any subsequent writings. Wor- thy tributes were paid during the progress of the Fellowship Convention to his leadership in quick- ening the sensibilities of the world and shaping effort in behalf of the poor and afflicted of all ages and particularly in behalf of children. Nowhere has there been so prompt a response to the appeals which Dickens presented thus ably as in America. England, more than 40 years aft- er his death, facing a crisis that demands the maximum of national efficiency, is now paying a dear price for her long indifference to the sub- merged millions whose needs he pointed out so graphically and sympathetically. == blll Are the folk inclined to Folk? former Governor's problem? A A — ~~ = Is IT GOOD-BY CIRCUS? A business man writes, expressing anxiety about the bill to reduce the circus license from $1000 to a reasonable figure. He is too late. As reported in the Post-Dispatch of Jan. 15, the bill was defeated, the reason given being that a Special License Committee of the Board of Al- dermen is going to readjust the entire license system. The circus men are now laying out their routes for the season. They consider a $1000 license prohibitive, and will undoubtedly exclude St. Louis from their routes unless the license is made reasonable. It has been asserted and not denied that the $1000 license ordinance was passed by the former House of Delegates because the circus men refused to distribute passes as usual. Is St. Louis to be deprived of circuses this year? A first-class circus is undoubtedly worth a good many times that $1000 license fee. What do the business men think?

The Swedish Government has sent out a warn- ing to all skippers that the waters of the North Sea are filled with floating mines—mines that have become detached from their anchorage. A large number of such mines have been washed ashore, notably near Stockholm, where 10 mines exploded on a section of the coast less than one mile. Houses were shattered, win- dows broken and fragments of shelis were sent 2400 feet inland. Fortunately only a few head of cattle were killed or injured.

Owen, a local politician charged with embez- zling public money while connected with the water office. That exact justice may be done as between the people on the one hand and John B. Owen on the other, is, of course, the hope of the community. In fact, three criminal Judges and other members of an elaborate court organization are paid comfortable salaries with that very end in view. But the preliminaries to trial do not afford much hope that exact justice will be done. To date proceedings for the purpose of determin- ing the issue as to whether John B. Owen embez- zled the money have been as follows: Declaring that he had “prejudice” in the matter, Judge Grimm sends the ease to Judge Kimmel on Jan. 14. Declaring that such transfer violated. the rules, Judge Kimmel sends the case to Judge Grimm. Grimm to Kimmel again; reason, Judge Grimm’s refusal to accept the papers. Kimmel to Grimm again; reason, Judge Kim- mel's allegation of Prejudice“ on his own part and of a violation of established’ pro- cedure on Judge Grimm’s part. Grimm to Kimmel; reason, Judge Grimm's citation of legal authority supporting his transfer. However, he offered to accept the papers if requested to do so as a matter of courtesy. Kimmel to Grimm; reason, Judge Grimm’s offer to take the case as a courtesy. Grimm to Kimmel; reason, Judge Grimm’s conclusion that he had done the proper thing when he first transferred it. Kimmel to Grimm; reason, Judge Kimmel’s\, insistence that Judge Grimm shall keep his “courtesy” promise. How may a criminal case be expected to end which is made a farce from the beginning? If judges show timidity when influential poli- ticlans are defendants, what may we expect of jurymen? e Football is an interesting game. But is a court of justice just the sort of place in which to play it? — e —— — GEN. wooD FOR PRESIDENT. Gen. Leonard Wood’s nomination for President by the Republicans is said to be the object of the Roosevelt interests. In fact, the Colonel’s new-found enthusiasm for military appropriations on a militaristic scale is explained as due to a plan to create an issue on which a high army of- ficer would be regarded as the logical candidate. Unfortunately, certificates of character from the Colonel to presidential candidates carry less weight with the people than formerly. We took a candidate once on the Colonel’s recommenda- tion that he was the best fitted to be President of anybody in the United States and 18 months afierward the Colonel himself admitted he had made a mistake. Three years afterward he went through the country denouncing his own selection as the least qualified of all past as well as present Americans. Gen.

Ours is a representative Government; in a sense government by the people. The people’s active participation usually stops with voting for a rep- resentative and letting him do the governing with- out further influence, suggestion or interference. There are times when the people should directly communicate their will and desires to their agents who are attending to their business of governing. The agents sitting in Congress today have never received instructions from the men who elected them concerning the issue of preparedness. There has been no opportunity for the people to express themselves at the polls. There will be no oppor- tunity for men to speak their will at the polls before November. But the voter need not wait— he should not wait—until the election to make his demands known upon a question of national defense. Direct communication with your Con- yeressman now may mean more than your vote nine months hence. A letter to your Congressman now is in effect a vote. A letter to your Congressman is your ac- tive participation in governing. To make yourself heard by some means is your business, your duty, when the issue is directly and immediately up to you. Your representative awaits the expression of your will. It is no more trouble to write a line to your Congressman than it would be to go out and vote. A Congress bombarded by demands will speedily undertake to defend the country. = = ‘ * He who has to walk when there are deep snows blesses the United Railways. The U.

The scientific congress at Washington, in which all of South and Central America took part, has drifted into a political meeting. President Wilson no more believes in the Monroe Doctrine in a narrow sense; that of protection by the United States of her smal- ler sister republics of the Western ¢ontinent; his idea has widened the scope of the view held in 1828—now it is a real partnership between all—on an equal footing. f The Latine had always mistrusted their big neighbor; now that big fellow has become a brother—and mistrust is at an end. According to the paper, none of the partners in the new business arrangement can make a treaty with any other nation not of the amalgamation, without the knowledge and consent of all the rest. In case of needed defense all will contribute armies and navies towards the common end. The writer commends the step as once for all giving the Monroe Doctrine a tangible form, that | nk nee See e werke ne e or can eee cae” swig aittiioed . . 2 | ita a *.> * PAL n * N WN > ov 74 —————— — — > 4 cd ae ras 2 ss) 5 4 12 5 12 5 mith 2 = me th ay 1 8 ai. ak Rae = 8 4: 8 aes 25 7118 “As Aa * " * r 2 1 Aa 2 8 — „* — 1 * 21 NEW ART SETTING FOR THE * 53599 n 2 2 „ 1 5 tht Ae We en > = + * Der 7 772 ¢ S . ante — . ad ** 5 * rena .

Fashion's Most Popalar Accessory —Whole Frocks May Be Gress, Béautiful: tibbofis have always been made and admired, and used to a part in carrying out the mode. This season; however; Dame Fashion bas favored them with real importance. From a half-inch width to a half-yard width they are used in ways never be- fore imagined. Dven whole frocks are made from nine-inch moire and faille ribbons and gay plaid or flowered ones are used as a painter uses splashes of brilliant color. A very simple but effective use of rib- bon is à cerise, orange or boldly flow- ered patterns used as vesteé and col- lar finishing. Indeed, one could write pages on thé novel and charming ways ribbon will be utilized this spring. It may peep out in a bow, a loop, a float- ing end at any unexpected point on an afternoon or evening frock, and knots and flowers of it are pressed deftly into puffs of net or lace to lend color con- trast. 7 j Here id shown two attractive designs, ¢ne for evening and the other for after- noon wear, Which owe their charm to the interesting masipulation of ribbon. Gray Georgette crepe is used for the afternoon frock at the left, and is gath- ered into a straight full skirt. But it is not to be a plain skirt, for six rows of novelty ribbon surround it in groups of three, two and then a single line. Of gray (the color of the dress) the ribbon ig latticed with sapphire blue and me- Gallloned with rose pink flowers, achiev- ing an unusually attractive trimming. On the bodice, which is cut in plain Kimono. fashion, the ribbon forms straps over the shoulders which terminate under a chiffon rose copied from the miniature design in the ribbon. The beauty of this combination is empha- sized by the rich sapphire blue velvet of the girdle on which it lies. The neck is finished with a picot edge, while a band of the ribbon completes the full three-quarter sleéves.. The evening frock shown may be of daffodil yellow chiffon either em- troidered with silver threads or fin- ished with silver lace at the bottom of the skirt. On the upper part of the skirt jade green moire ribbon is manipulated 80 as to give length of line, dropping in Made of lt This Season Ribbon this spring will lay claim to unrivaled popularity iff the realm of certain extent in sashés, hat trimmings and hapless ways, not taking any active loops which are left untacked below the top of the embroidered band.

And the young- er brother was forgiving enough to welcome him, show him all his great gifts and even tell him about the magic drum. Then he took down the drum and ex- plained its manner of working. Kama Was wise enough not to tell about the storehouse full of gold, for he feared it might tempt his brother to do him harm, but he never thought Hassan would try to steal the drum. But that is just what he did. That bight, when the moon set, Hassan stole out into the night and, opening the window, got into the house, In a few moments he had the drum under his arm and was running madly home But safe at-home he hid it under his bed while he thought out what he could best wish for. Then he beat upon the drum loudly. There was a noise, a cloud of smoke and a voice said: What does my mas- ter wish?“ 1 want you to turn the home of my brother to ashes, to burn his cattle and erops and «urn his family out in rags,” exclaimed the wicked brother. Then you are to pile in my courtyard as many bags of gold as will make an acre of money.” ASSAN rose and went to the win- — dow. He saw the beautiful home of his brother crumble into ashes, Poor Kama did. not at first know Baty had happened to bring on his misfortune, but when he reached the top of a hill and saw the bags being piled into his brother’s yard, he knew ot nis wicked brother and that Has- So he decided to see if he could not get ‘Making the children the home of his brother. there the moon was behind Pert 8 , ba tie ; . 1 .

This is the last time you win have the power to call upon-me by the drum.“ Kama was 80 angry- at his brother for all his wickedness and for plotting more, that he cried out at ~nce: “Beat that man severely.” The drum sticks flew out of Kama's hands and pitched into Hassan, who struggled up out of his drunken sleep. faster and faster they flew till Hassan was blue and black from head to foot. Kama was sorry to see his brother, even though he was so wicked, in such a plight. He tried to get the sticks to stop, but they only beat the harder. 80 with a strong kick, Kama broke the drum to bits. Then he cared kindly for bis brother. With the gold in his great storehouse he built another palace, bought other cattle and wus soon as happily fixed as he had been before. Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syn- dicate.) Trenches Get Enemy’s Light. 1 N the Electrical World there is a story of how the Germans supplied the allies with electricity for several months without being aware of the fact. When the Germans first occupied Lille, while the allied troops held possession of Armentieres nearby, the soldier-en- |. gineers of the Kaiser's army discovered the abandoned Lille electric lighting plant, and, according to the story told by a British soldier in a letter home, shortly had the generators running and the town again lighted by electricity. It was some months, however, hefore the Germans discovered that the Lilie lighting system was also connected with Armentieres, and that a good share of the energy generated inside the Téu- ton lines was being used to light the allies’ quarters and troop tents in the neighboring city. : Seedless Apple Growing. | ple as well as the ‘seedicess orange is the latest claim to distinc- | tion made by Riverside, Cal. ast year P.

I was never so em- barrassed in all my life; they made me wear a suit of clothes.” Poor fellow! It was the first time he had ever worn anything at all and it was mighty unpleasant. Naked and comfortable, he could look any man in the eye; he would have had nerve enough to try and sell electric fans to the Eskimos. But when they put clothes on him he couldn’t stand the strain. An of which brings us to the very painful admission that there is no such thing as natural modesty. At the be- ginning, so it is claimed, men WVed in a hot climate and by all accounts they, were too lazy to do any dressing.

When doing his parlor tricks a Beau will stick, but at the beach on a hot day he wears as few as the police will stand for.

The wings began to sprout on his shoulders as he started to the train. He would go to the great city and there find the inzpi- ration he needed, and that would land him on the ladder of fame and fortune. Arriving in the city, he found many col- lege chums, some of whom were usual- ly “lying around loose.“ They all began by having a few partics to launch the new hopes. During the day the young man eat in his lovely studio, in a silk smoking jacket and smoking a pipe. A year went by and (to make a long fable short) the young man’s resources were gone. He had no money to pay the rent of the studio. He wrote home, but the wise father insisted on his sor finding his inspiration“ as dest he could. Things looked black for the boy. He began to hate his father. For his friends forgot to come around. 9 Finally matters grew black indeed. Many a time he had to go without food, and for the first time in his life felt the pangs of hunger. At last he became desperate, for he had borrowed as much as he could and actual starvation stared him in the face. Then something hap- pened. He was out in the street and saw some men digging there. He walked right up to the foreman and asked for a job. They needed help and gave him work liking. yet he stayed at it and made enough for ‘sustenance. The boss real- ized he had more int@iligence than the other workers and soon made him sub- foreman.

I intend ‘to invite Jeffries to see the bout as my guest, anyway. “There appears to be great interest in the coming contest, added Rickard. „Already I have received orders for 0 seats from men in Chicago; and I have an order for two tickets from a tan in Little Rock, Ark. In no case does any- one ask what the price will be but want to know where they can mail efecks. This shows that: the price will not be the most important consideration with the fans. “Dave Lewinsohn informs me that he has already made arrangements for a special train to carry fans from Chiea- ‘go, and adds that he ‘may require two or three specials. to say nothing of those who will come in the regular way from the Windy City. It’s Business, Not Gambling. see that some of the newspapers have alluded to the fight as a gamble and to me as a gambler,“ continued Rickart. This is not a gamble and I am not a gambler. It is strictly a busi- ness proposition. And those who come to see it will not be paying exorbitant prices. ‘When one goes to see Gaby Deslys or some opera singer he pays anywhere from $2 to 55. Say Gaby gets $2000. Well, I'm paying many times that amount for my show and the prices in comparison will be extremely low. I haven’t made up my mind jus where I'l! hold the fight; but one thing ts certain— it will not be in the open. am not gambler enough to gamble on the weather. i 1 expect Tom Jones here Tuesday | and then Ill give out all the details of the match. Until then I will be unable to do so.’ Tex Rickard and Jimmy at the Waldorf yesterday, as per sched- ule and after an extended session of dis- sembling and evasion we questions were asked: „How much do vou want for the Gar- den?“ queried Rickard. : “How much will you give?’ countered Johnston. And both questions swered. They then adjourned with the agree- ment to meet again today and pursue the discusison. Rickard Offers $6000 for Arena. „m willing to pay about $6000 for the Garden,” said Rickard after his meet- ing with Johnston had been adjourned. „That's as much money as the Garden ever got. out of any one event held there. But I have an idea that they're trying to boost me up and I'm not going to stand for it. I’m going to. look over the Clermont/A. C. in Brooklyn tomor- row. I understand that by building bleachers in that place we can get in 9000 persons, and that will net us a good Johnston met remained unan- profit, „ might even build my own arena, if it comes to that. It could be done for about $10,000. The one in Reno that had the Johnson-Jeffries fight cost $17,000; but. the labor, fumber and freight were expensive items then.’ espite this, Madison Square Garden gms larger than ever as the site for e big fight. And Johnston apparently is well aware of this fact. “I guess they want the old Garden, all right. said Jimmy, but they don't need to think that they’ re going to get it handed to them on a platter. Business is business and the Garden has expenses, just the same as gi abe 26 else. M’MULLEN MEETS CROSS AT QUEENSBERRY A. C.

LOUIS Central high school ath- letes have been classified in the first division of prep schools by the au- thorities of the Pennsylvania University relay games, in invitations sent out here.

Easy 5 ew, OWARD DREW, the only fast black guaranteed to run, made much easier work of beating Joe Loomis than dispatches stated, It was said in early reports that reached here that Drew won by inches, whereas men who stood at the finish declare Drew was five feet ahead of Loomis. The defeat of the Chicago boy at Boston, Saturday, in the 40 yards sprint proves that Loomis will have serious rivalry for the 1916 . cham- pionship. Counting Mahrs victory over Joe in the hundred, the champion has been defeated three times since he won his tithe at Frisco. : * * * Get in Line, Dixie. LTHOUGH even the semi-profes- sional college teams of Penn- Sylvania are cleaning eligibility house for the 1916 fall, some of the big schools of the South still hang ire. Vanderbilt,. Sewanee, Alabama and Louisiana are still loth to adopt the one-year residence and ‘the freshman rule, in connection with their foot- ball activities. Sewanee, which has fewer than 250 students, may be excused for its position in this matter; but a large institution such as Vanderbilt ought to get into the band wagon with the rest of the country and make the competition fair. * . N. Same Thing, but Different. “Tl am not gambling on this Will- ard-Moran fight,” says Tex Rickard. It's business with me.” Considering that about 94 per cent of all business ventures come to grief, the distinction between busi- ness and ect RE is purely academic. 1 Was Some Putt.

White's 8 Wants Bout With Bobby Anderson Nate Lewis Hopes to Arrange Contest Between His Protege and Duquoin Boy. — * Nate. Lewis, manager of Charley White, who carries a K. O. kick in either hand, spent Saturday in St. Louis, trying to zrrange“ a bout for his pro- tege with Bobby Anderson, the Du- quoin demon, at the Coliseum. He was eager to have White show here next week, us his schedule has a few open dates, but learned that the Coliseum would not be available for a fistic show, before March. He promises to return here next month and show White on a percentage basis, if Anderson or some ether good boy can be secured for the match. White meets Harvey Thorpe in Kansas City Thursday night and then loafs until 4 Feb. 24, when he tackles Harry Pierce at Jack .Curley’s club. in New York. Feb. 29 he has a match with Matt Wells. Lewis says he will reserve an early March date for White’s appearance here. Lewis recently returned from New York } and gave a somewhat plausible explanation for the exorbitant price being paid. for the 40 Delegates Chosen to Repre- sent Mound City at Coming A. B. C.
