Circuit Judge Withrow in looking over a “scrap book” yesterday came upon an unusual law passed by English Par- bament more than 100 years ago. It was as follows: “All women of whatever age, ranx profession or degree, whether maids or widows, that shall, from after the passage of this act, impose upon or be tray into matrimony any of his majes ty’s male subjects by scents, paints. cosmetics, washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops. high-heeled shoes or bolstered hips shal? incur the penalty of the laws now in force against witchcraft, sorcery and such like misdemeanors, and the mar- riage, upon conviction, shall be null and vor,” =, Judge Withrow said that the law was passed because it was claimed many men were so susceptible and easily de- luded. “After clarifying the matrimonial! atmosphere by numerous prosecutions,” Judge Withrow said, “the law was deemed thoroughly vindicated and it was repealed.” MAN DECIDES TO HOLD JOB AND LET CHILDREN BE CITY ALIENS They Must Steep in Room Outside City Limits Even if He Does Have to Pay School Tuition. ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 16—McDonald Lawrence is an employe of Atlanta working in its construction department. There is now before the City Council a committee report that may eventually bar a person living outside the city from having a place on the municipai payroll. Lawrence lives in a house through which the corporate line runs. The room in which he sleeps is inside the city limits, but that in which his chil- dren take their nightly repose is out- side. That makes Lawrence all right on his job, but his children are aliens and, as such, must pay tuition in the vity schools. If they move into his room the father will escape this expense, but should they do so and he occupy that which they have been sleeping in, he nay have to look for another job. For the present Lawrence has decided to let matters remain in statu quo. PREACHER SAYS LOOSE COLLARS PROLONGED HIS LIFE:40 YEARS The Kev. Tt. H.

Hagerty, city chap- lain, who will be 88 years old Friday, at a birthday celebration in his honor yesterday at the Union M. E. Church, Grand avenue and Delmar boulevard, said he would have been dead 40 years ago if he had not learned to wear a collar two sizes too laftge for him. He said when he was a youth he had been discouraged from entering the min- istry because ‘of throat trouble. That trouble disappeared, he said, when he began to wear loose collars. Dr. Mag- erty said his desire now is to liva to be 100 years old, provided he can remain a useful citizen that long. ALTON 10.

Sas i 2 SHIPS BURNED N'$3,000 000 FIRE AT BROOKLYN PIER Mysterious Blaze Spreads So Rapidly That Crews Are Forced to Leap Into Water. PERSONS ARE MISSING Third Freighter and 25 Scows Damaged; Some of Vessels Were Loading War Supplies. > NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—The steamships Bolton Castle, 3869 tons, and Pacific, °612 tons, and about 900 feet of pier belonging to the New York Dock Co., at the foot of Pioneer street, Brooklyn, were destroyed early today. Another stéamer, the Pallazia, was damaged and about 25 scows and lighters were partly or wholly burned. Latest esti- mates put the loss at $5,000,000 or more. It was believed at first that 40 or more coolies.on the two ships had per- ished, but six hours after the fire start- ed the police said they had accounted for all but two of the missing persons. It is believed the loss of life will not exceed that number. The origin of the fire is unknown, but suspicions that it was incendiary were aroused because of the fact that some ef the steamers were loading with war munitions, some of which was intended for shipment to Vladivostok for the Rus- sian Government. A statement issued on behalf of the agents for the owners of the Eolton Cas- tle and Pacific said their investigation “thus far has failed to develep any evi- gence which would lead to tiie conclusion that the fire was of incendiary origin.” Crews Leap Overboard, Watchmen aboard the Bolton Castle discovered that the buildings on the pier were on fire soon after 1 o'clock this morning. The blaze spread so rap- idly that the officers and crews of the steamers and lighters lying at the pier, after a vain effort to prevent the spread of the flames to their vessels were com- pelled either to leap overboard or to seek safety aboard other lighters or tugs which hastened to the rescue. Three steamers lying at the pier were surrounded by a fleet of about fifty lighters and barges, on each of which was one man Or more. On some of the barg2s were the wives and families of the captains. Some of them were com- pelled to jump overboard to escape the swift on-rush of the flames. Firemen ani policemen dragged many of them out of the water to adjoining piers ani others were rescued by tug boats or life boats. Capt. Benjamin Smith of the Bolton Castle and six of his crew escaped from the burning vessel by’ crawling hand over hand on a rope to a barge. Mrs. Smith fell into the water but was rescued by sailors. All the rescued per- sons were given shelter on a nearby pier. When the first company of firemen reached the scene the pier was blazing so furiously that they could not gain access to it. The Palazia was towed into the stream 200 yards or more off the dock, but it was impossible to move the other two steamships. saved the Palazia, but could make no progress against the flames on the other two vessels. Bollers on Ships Blow Up. The Bolton Castle was loading with gasoline for Russia and this fed the blaze. The boilers of both the Bolton Castile and the Pacific blew up when the fi-> was at its height, completing the work of destruction. Several barges loaded with gasoline lying near the steamers were destroyed. Fireboats prevented a spread of «he fir- to adjoining piers and before day- light had it under control. The Bolton Castle, a British vessel, ar- rived here Feb, 6 from Singapore, Port Naial and St. Lucia. The Pacific arrived from Hull, England, yesterday. Both belons to the Castle Line. The burned pier was leased to Barber & Co., steam- ship agents, and was believed to be filled with merchandise, including war muni- tions. Fite was discovered yesterday in the cargo on board the steamship Veendyk of the Holland-American Line as «he vessel was passing out to sea. Capt. Lseuweh put back to the pier at Hobo- ken and after 30 firemen had fought the flames for, more than six hours the biaze was under control. The Veendyk earried a cargo of about $200,000 worth ef oil cake consigned to Rotterdam. Sugar Ship Fire in Philadelphia Sixth in Month; Loss $100,000. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1f.—Investiga- tion is being made today to determine whetherethe fire which damaged the sugar cargo of the Britisi steamship Dalton at a wharf here ldst night was of incendiary origin. The loss is placed at $100,000. The fact that the fire started in two sections of the hold is regarded as suspicious. , The fire was the sixth to occur on British steamers loaded with sugar with- in the last month. . The Dalton was to convey the sugar for the British Gov. ernment. Daniels Entertains President. .

The front oi: the hotel was then ablaze. STAINS UPON HAND OF GIRL KILLED BY POISON ANALYZED Inguest Delayed Until Tests Shall Determine Exact Nature of Potion Miss Lambert Took. CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—The Coroner’s inquest into the death of Marian Frances Lambert, the Lake Forest high schol girl found dead in the woods on the Cyrus McCormack es- tate, will not be resumed, it is be- lieved, until a report has been re- ceived from experts who are testing poison stains found on the girl's hand, in an effort to definitely es- tablish the exact nature of the poi- son which caused her death. No new evidence of an important nature regarding the alleged connec- tion of Will H. Orpet, University of Wisconsin junior, with the girl's death has been discovered, according to the authorities.

Winslow. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Sidney W. Winslow, president of the United Shoe Machinery Co., testifying before the Senate. committee investigating the fit- ness of Louis D. Brandeis of Boston for & place on the Supreme Court bench. to- day named Jackson Johnson of St. president of the Shoe Co., Louis, Tnternational and Milton Florsheim of Chi- cago as being the manufacturers who were described in his testimony yester- Gay as having asked for $3,000,000 of United Shoe Machinery stock at par when it was selling at double that price. In his testimony yesterday Winslow related that in September, 1910, just aft- er his company had bought the so-called Plant patents, some of the organizers of the Shoe Manufacturers’ Alliance suggested that, as his company might need cash to pay for its patents, he sell them $3,000,000 of the United common at par. “This means a gift of $3,000,000," he said, ‘and the consideration offered was that they would cause no trouble for the United. Otherwise, they said, there would be trouble. The stock was not issued.” Winslow was asked today if the two men had not denied the charge during the Government suits. Winslow thought they did not deny it, but that they did not admit it. He said, however, it was months before Brandeis, who represent- éd the manufacturers’ alliance, after leaving the United, learned of the in- cident. Coumsel Engaged for Hearing. The committee decided today that its work would be expedited if both sides should present testimony under. the guidance of attorneys. Austen G. Fox of New York, who ape- pears as attorney for President Lowell of Harvard University and 530 members of the Boston bar, agreed to take charge of presenting evidence against the nominee and the committee, asked G. W. Anderson, United States Attor- ney at Boston, to take charge of pre- senting evidence for Brandeis. Both lawyers accepted and serve without pay. Senator Fletcher, acting chairman, said that when Fox appeared to help arrange the presentation testimony for the opposition to Brandeis, it was ar- ranged that Anderson would act for the committee, Fletcher said Fox would file a list of the persons employing him. Anderson said he wanted to explain that he appeared for the committee, rather than for Brandeis and his friends, and that he had some personal know!l- edge of the case, particularly so be- cause he had been United States At- \terney at Boston. Winslow Cross-Examined. Sidney W. Winslow, president of the United Shoe Machinery Co., then re- turned to the stand for cross-examina- tion by Anderson. Winslow yesterday charged Brandeis with unprofesional conduct and “conduct not becoming an honorable gentieman,”’ because after severing his connection with the Unit- ed Shoe Machinery Co., he, at the in- stance of clients, attacked as “‘illegal and criminal the very acts and system of business which he assisted to create and which he advised were legal.”’ The first question today was whether suits were not now pending in Boston and St. Louis to test the validity of the much-discussed tying clause in the com- pany’s leases of its machines. Winslow protested against the question, but final- ly stated the nature of the suits. Winslow explained that the company got a favorable decision in the first suit and that the Government now was appealing. The second suit was brought under the new Federal trade commis- sion law and is pending in St.*Louis. Anderson stated that the Boston case was begun after he came into office, was handled by special counsel and that he never had appeared in either case in court in connection with evi- dence, argument or question of law. Questiong About Tying Clauses. There was a long line of questioning about the tying clauses. Winslow said they existed befdre the United company Was organized. Questions by Anderson were intended to show that when Bran- deis resigned it was because he did not agree with the company’s policy. He wanted to show that Brandeis ex- pressed disapproval of the _ tying clauses. Winslow insisted that he knew of no cause for Brandeis withdrawing from the United Board other than that ex- pressed in his letter of resignation, which said that the estate he repre- sented no longer needed a member in the uirectorate. Anderson sought to pin the witness down to an exact conversation with a Mr. Howe and Brandeis early in 1907. “I only remember,” said Winslow, Continued om Page 2; Colurm 2 Modest- W edding Planned for Kaiser’sSon and Princess Marie PRINCE JOACHIM OF PRUSSIA. GIRL KILLED BY DO-FOOT FALL IN FLEVATOR SHAFT She Apparently Paid No Atten- tion to Warning of Fellow Employe at Coffee Plant. Rose Trinka, -16 years old, of 2719 Winnebago street. was killed in a 6- foot fall down an elevator shaft ut the plant of the Steinwender-Stoffregen Coffee Co., 301 South Broadway, at 7:30 a. m. today. Miss Trinka was employed in the stockroom on the third floor. The freight elevator at the rear of this floor is equipped with automatic gates, which open as the car approaches them anil close after it has passed. Theodore Hedkamp of 4332 South Compton avenue, a stockroom employe, told policemen he saw Miss Trinka go toward the elevator. It was dark in that end of the room, he said. The gate, he said, had opened auto- matically when the car léft the fourth floor on its way to the third. Hed- kamp said he called to the girl and warned her, but apparently she did not pay attention to him. When Miss Trinka was taken to the city dispensary Miss Marie Rothermel, a nurse there, recognized her as her niece. Examination showed Miss Trinka’s skutl was fractured and death probably was instantaneous. The police learned later from the girls parents that she had been worrying about her physical condition and had con- sulted a physician, who tcid her to re- turn’in a month. The police think that worry may have caused the girl to kill herself. ASTOR TAKES SEAT IN LORDS} Expatuated American Appears in Par- - Viament for First Time.

VALLEJO, Cal. Feb. 16.—The battle- ship Oregon, “the. bulldog of the navy,” went on the retired list yesterday when she was turned over without formality to the Naval Militia of California at Hage Mare Island Navy Yard. ae The Oregon, in her long career, gaincd more fame than any ship in the mod- ern American navy. It was her trip from San Francisco around Cape Horn to do her partin the destruction of Ad- miral Cervera’s fleet off Santiago, in the Spanish-American ‘War, which forced the issue and resulted in the con- struction of the Panama Canal. It was for this reason that it was decided that} the Oregon should head the battleship -fleet in the parade which was to have celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal in March, mae a plan that was abandoned. The Oregon was in the dry dock at the Puget Sound Navy Yard when on March 6, 1898, the Navy Department wired hér cOmmander, Capt. Charles Edgar Clark, to get ready. He was tnen at San Diego with the Monterey. That same day the Oregon steamed out of Puget Sound and went to San Francisco and there awaited the events which were so rapidly. rushing the United States into war with Spain. Capt. Clark was ordered on March 15 to make the trip around the Horn, and four days later the Oregon left San Francisco. She shattered records all the way. She made the run to Callao, Peru, 4400 miles, at an average of 13 knots. Here she coaled and pasoapek down the west coast. Through Straits in Storm. In a raging storm she was rushed through this perilous part of her jour- néy at full speed, and once in the At- lantic headed northward and steamed to Rio’ de Janeiro. The Navy Depart- raent wired Capt. Clark to wait there, for there was fear of the Spanish tor- pedo boat Temehario, which was lying in wait in the River Platte. It was un- cerstood she had been ordered to dart out after the Oregon, torpedo her if possible, and get away as best she might, for war had been declared. Fur- thermore, it was feared. the Spanish Cape Verde fleet might dash across thé ocean and intercept’ and destroy the Uregon, and so fearful’ of this were the naval officials in Washington that the suggestion was made to Capt. Clark that he disable his engines, if necessary, to avoid being refused anchorage in a neutral harbor. “Come Yon; we. believe yoy can make it,” the department finally cabled Capt. Clark and he at once started on the last leg of his trip. Suspense throughout the United States as to the fate of the Oregon was intense, but 65 ‘days after leaving San Francisco she appeared at Jupiter Inlet on the Florida coast, March i Joins Sampson's Fieet. it was only a step from there to Ha- vana and the Oregon steamed over and took her place in the line of Admiral Sampson's warships, and in the ensuing battle of July 3 did’ her full share in the destruction of the Spanish fleet. Prior to. this battle, gon June 5, the Oregon narrowly escaped ction by collision with the supply ship Resolute, which was loaded to’the limit with mines, dry guncotton,: torpedo heads for the entire fleet and shells for the dyna- mite cruiser Vesuvius, The Resolute was steaming past the fleet delivering mail, and through some chance was being hcaded straight for the Oregon when the danger of collision was discovered. A call for full speed astern and a jamming | over of the rudder sent the Resolute past the Oregon so close that a biscuit could have been tosseu from one deck to After the war the Oregon returned to the Pacific and in June, 1900, en reute re Danger ous: | One out of every three peo- tple die of Lung Diseases—| all started with a Cough.

She was patched up at Kure, Japan, .,}and returned to Puget Sound navy yard, where some $800,000 was spent inh re- buliding and repairing her. She remained in service in the Pacific until 1905, when she was again laid up for repairs and Was out of commission until Aug. ®, 1911, when she was again placed in com- mission. The Oregon was designed by Lewis Nixon and was built by the Union Iron Works. at San Francisco, her kéel being laid in 1891. She was launched in 1893. Though she always h structural de- fects, she was tecognized- by naval, j authorities the world over as a wonder- ful battle ship when she was completed, though in the rapid advance in naval construction her class was soon dis- tanced. S. Never Again Will Be Caught Unprepared, Says Speaker Clark. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Confidence that the United States never again would be caught in the state of unpreparedness existing at the outbreak of, the Spanish- American War, was voiced by Speaker Clark in a memorial address at Arling- ton Cemetery, yesterday, the anniversary of the destruction of.the battleship Maine. ‘‘War would have been declared by the United States Government at least W days before it was,” Speaker Clark said, “but for the fact that we did not have even three rounds of ammunition each for the guns that we had. The chances are a hundred to one we never will be caught in that predicament again.” The Speaker said he was in favor of conducting the affairs of the nation in such a.way that the declaration “I am an American eitizen’” would have more vetency in world affairs than had the “Romanus Sum” in ancient times. “Tt was an awful thing to sit there and vote other men’s sons into the army,” he said, in discussing the Spanish War, “and nothing could have induced Sen- ators and Representatives so to vote except the belief that no country will long endure and no country is worthy to endure that will not protect its citi- zens wherever they may be, on land or sea.”’ Uv.

Charles S, Whitman, Frederick Tanner, ‘hairman of the State Committee, and State Senator Elon R. Brewn, Repub- lican leader in the Senate, us the “big four” to represent New York ‘State in ‘the national convention. The principal points of the platform adopted are: Advocacy of ‘‘complete preparations for the common defense, economic, in- dustrial and financial as well as mili- tary,”’ including a recommendation for a naval general staff and. substantial strengthening of the naval and military ’ BATTLESHIP. OREGON AS IT APPEARS TODAY. ENGLAND TURNS 0 VERSE AS ANTIDOTE FORWAR, POET SAY John Masefield, on Visit Here, Talis of Gréatly Increased De- mand for Rhythm. John Masefield, one of the leading British poets of the day, was in St. Louis a few hours yesterday afternocn, and while hurrying to keep a fecture engagement for the Vassar Club in Mary Institute Founders’ Hall, he told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the demand for poetry in England is greater than ever before and that it is rapidly in- creasing in the United States. Masefield is one of the most remark- able figures in contemporary literature. Twenty years ago he was a bartender on the Bowery in New York, then he switched his aflegiance to water and cruised the seven seas as a sailor before the mast. But all the time his soul was the soul of a poet and he dropped anchor at last in the port of Fame. The ruggedness of his early life has left its indelible stamp on Masefield. He has not the Hyperion locks and the pose of a drawing room poet. His Attic salt is the salt of the open sea and his divine {affiatus is a wind to fill the sails of fancy, not an idle breeze to make lace curtains quiver. In stature he is tall with almost a Lincolnesque angularity. About him there is an air of sadness which often is the hall mark of genius, but more than all else the softness of his fine brown eyes bespeaks his true character as a dreamer Of dreams. Like many poets he writes much better than he talks. ; “Publishers in-London have told me that if it were not for the demand for poetry they would be forced to shut up shop,” said Masefield. “It would seem that readers of English literature have turned ,to poetry as a distraction from the horrors of war. You might think it strange, but very few of the poems have war for their theme. The poets have left the war to the news accounts and the official reports, and they are singifg in quite a different strain. “I think this will continue to be the case after the war is ended. The best poetry carries the reader away fron? the troubles and worries of every-day life. In time the war may lead to the writing of a great epic poem, but this will not come to pass until sufficient time has elapsed to heal all the rancors and bitterness caused by this awful con- fiict—certainly not in our generation. “On my tour of America I have found a wonderful growth in the demand for gaod poetry; and your poets are meet- ing this demand remarKably well. Near- ly all of your colleges are developing peetic talent of a very high order. The increasing popularity of poetry in this country is shown by the fact that a mugazine devoted solely to the publi- cation of poetry is being enthusiasticaliy supported here. Miss Harriet Monroe of Chicago, the editor of this magazine, has done a wonderful work in fostering the love for. poetry in America. “Free verse and other odd forms which ‘have some vogue here are etitirely un- known in England. We cling cidser to tho traditions there and we stil! follow the accepted-forms of rhythm and thyme. To our notion the thought ig the main thing in a poem, but we be: ‘Heve a beautiful thought deserves a -worthy setting and so we endeavor tn make our’ poems as attractive in form ods we are in waisy, spel year 0 The’ Probert holders’ surplus .was eet creased a little more than $2,000,000.

Alternate delegates-at-large chosen by the convention are Edward H. Butler of Erie, Jesse Phillips of Steuben, Cor- of New York. a@ proposal to submit.to the delegates the name of Elihu Root as the Repub- lican presidential candidate was defeat- ed in the Committee on Resolutions, after a spirited debate. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, chairman, explained that it was not thought wise to propose any resolution of .that character at this time. Root asked that no action be taken. The convention adjourned at 2:30 o’clock. ‘ ENGLAND TO TAKE DISTILLERIES LONDON, Feb. 16.—The Central News says it is able ta confirm the report that the Government is about to comman- deer all distilleries in the United King- dom. . This step is made necessary, it is said, owing to the constantly growing de- mand for alcohol in connection with the manufacture of high explosives. ft is alleged that the Government, after ac- quiring the amount of alcohol needed for munitions, will hand over the re- mainder to the trade. - KEEP URIC ACID OUT OF JOINTS Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Rheumatism is easier to avo'a ithan to cure, states a well-knowr authority. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct, result , of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out. The pores of the skin are also a neans of freeing the biood of this im- purity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are clos2d thus. forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and: slug- gish fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a table- spoonful in a glass of water ind drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to elimt- nate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to -normal .action, thus rid- ding the blood of these impurities.

Mrs. Dwyer today told a reporter that she made an investigation after hearing that a baby had died of pneumonia in one of the “Isiand’”’ homes Monday... She said she talked to four women who told her how they obtained the children, ranging in age from 1 to 8 yeafs. Two of the women weré married, one was single and oné was a widow. All took in washing and the married womén wefe not able to properly support the children they already had, Mrs. Dwyer said. All four women told the police matron that they had obtained the children at from a maternity home at 1515 Chouteau avenue. Théey said they answered ad- vertisements in St. Louis newspapers, — The women declared that when they went te the home they were told by a’ woman who called herself ‘Miss Katie,” that they had. better not give their nanres’ and addresses. They were not required to sign adoption papers. They said they had no choice but. had to take the baby offered them or none at all, They said the babies were given out without clothes. One woman said she wrapped her baby in a shawl and car- ried it home on a cold day last week. The women denied getting any pres- ents with the babies and said they did not intend to,attempt. to get mother’s pensions by fraud. Mrs. Dwyer had re- ported that she suspected the babies were to be used to get pensions. Chief of Police Young instructed detectives of the Central District to !nvestigate the case. : Mrs. Caroline Nofree, proprietor of the Chouteau Maternity Home at 1515 Chou- teau aventie. told. a@eporter she remem- bered giving babies to three or four East St. Louis women this winter. She said she had lost the. book in which she re- corded their names and addresses. She denied she let the babies go out without ed to assure- herself the women were them what their husbands did and thei: circumstances. - She said it was understood the women were to return and sign adoption papers as soon as they had decided whether they wanted to Keep the babies, but that they sometimes failed to do this. << RENE <r ‘didacies by Joby E.

J - to Bel- gium.”’ “A single official expression by the United States,’ he said, “a single sen- tence denying assent and recording dis- approval of what Germany did in Bel- gium would have given to the people of America that leadership to which they were entitled in their earnest grop- ing for the light. It would have ranged behind American leadership the con- science and morality of the neutral vorld. It would have brought to Amer- ican diplomacy the respect and strength of loyalty to a great cause. But it was not to be. The American Government | failed to rise to the demands of the great occasions. “We have been following the path of peace. We have been blindly stumbling along the road that, continued, will lead to inevitable war. Our diplomacy has dealt with symptoms and _ ignored causes. The creat decisive questio upon which oyr peace depends is the question whether the rule of action ap- plied to Belgium is to be tolerated. If it is tolerated by the civilized world this nation will have to fight for its life. There will be no escape. That is the critical point of defense for the peace of America. Lost Big Oppertunity. “When our Government failed to tell the truth about Belgium, it lost the opportunity for leadership of the moral sense of the American people, and it lost the power which a knowl- edge of that leadership and a sympa- thetic response from the moral sense of the world would have given to our diplomacy. hen our Government failea to make any. provision what- ever for defending its rights in case they should be trampled upon, it lost the power which a belief in its read- iness and will to maintain its rights would halve given to its diplomatic representations. When our Govern- ment gave notice to Germany that it would destroy American lives and American ships at itg peril, our words which would have been potent if sus- taineq by adequate preparation to make them good, and by the prestige and authority of the moral leader- ship of a great people, in a_ great couse, were treated with contempt which should have been foreseen; and when our Government failed to make those words good, its diplomacy was bankrupt. “Upon the record of performance which I have tried to describe, will the American people say that the Democratic party is entitled to be continued in power? “The defects of the present admin- istration arise from two distinct causes. The first is the temperament and training of the President. The second is the incapacity of the Demo- cratic party as it is represented in rat Floor. % | In this lot are fancy mixtures, stripes and the ever — reliable blue serge, cheviots, checks, ete., and many — other popular weaves; made by the best tailors; good — quality linings; styles for the young snappy dresser, also for the man of matured years. i There is but one reason why we sell these Suits for © $10.

TORONTO, Ontario, Feb. 16.—One man was killed and two others in- jured in a fire which early today wrecked the American Club, a six- story structure. Several explosions were heard while the fire burned, but according to the’ police there were no detonations before the flames were discovered. Unconfirmed reports were that the blaze was the result of an alien military plot, the-American Club having recently been the scene of demonstrations in. favor of. the entente allies. P. I.

By CARLOS F. HURD. ON MANUEL SALAZAR, Spanish D tenor, sang the role of Radames in the San/ Carlo Company’s ‘ Aida” at the Odeon last night, in a way which made some persons 'n the audi- ence wonder whether they had strayed, by mistake, into’a $ grand opera per- formance. ; This illusion disappeared when some of the scenic settings were viewed, and particularly when, in the triumphal en- try, the battered trumpets squealed like bagpipes, or Boy Scouts’ bugles. Also there were moments when the indiffer- ent acting of some of the stage figures left the mysical structure of the work looking rather bare. But as for Don Manuel, having his St Louis debut, it was his night, and he made it a big one. Stocky and swarthy, and with a smile which came on even when tragedy was thickening, he sang himself into secure mastery of Verdi's beautiful score, in the “Celeste Aida’’ of the opening scene. If he spared himself somewhat in the middle of the opera, h2 resonantly rewarded those who remainea --and there were few who did not re- main—for the closing scene. He was duly mindful, tow, that he was acting a part in.a drama, and he was a robust and satisfying figure in the char- acter of Radames, the military ‘nero who might have been the svn-in-law of # perfectly respectable and very appre- Ciative sovereign with a square-cut beard, but who sacrificed everything to a fatal fondness for the brunette type. Modesti Score, Well. Generals in those days did not tussle for weeks over a few yards of trenches. They went out and caught Kings alive, and a very good catch of this sort was made when Dorf Manuel, as Gen. Ra- dames, brought in Alesandro Modesti, baritone, as a captive Ethiopian mon- arch, the dark Aida’s darker papa. Mo- desti was easily next to the Spaniard in the audience’s estimation of the per- formance. He had a fine opportunity "n the third act, where the Ethiopian King and his daughter started south with Radames, who had the temerity to dis- appear from the court after the invita- tions were out for the marriage to thse Egyptian Princess. They stopped alonz the Nile to do so much singing that the high priest, in all his robes, ‘was able to overtake them, and all went ‘back te Memphis—though it looked more like Little Rock in one of the scenes. The shot-at-sunrise idea had not oc- curred to anyone at that time, and basement imprisonment, which gives much more time for vocal exercise, was what Radames and Aida drew. This final scene, with its cellar effect, has a melancholy fascination for St. Loui« baseball lovers, and leading members of the Million Population Club, which had last night’s performance in its financia‘ care, were heard to remark that it did not look particularly like first division. Mary Kaestner, as Aida, did her best singing in the last act. Her acting was excellent throughout. Carolina Zawner. as the Egyptian Princess, did not act much at any time, and her singing did not very strongly suggest the jealous rage which she is supposed to feel. Chorus’ Fine Work. Giuseppe Angelini, conducting, as he did Monday night, without a sheet of music before him, got remarkably good work from the orchestra, which con- tains a humber of local musicians, capable, but thus far lacking in op- portunity for rehearsal with the visit- ing organization. This feature of the San Catlo performances may be ex- pected to show a steady improvement. The chorus showed fine training, and sang with snap and vigorous attack. The small ballet performed acceptably, but it can hardly expect to excite creat interest, with the coming of the Diag- hileff aggregation less than three weeks away. Last night’s audience was larger than that of Monday night, the side rows being much better populated, but the boxes were not taken to the extent that they were on the first night. Tonight, ir. Massenet’s “Thais,” the first of the widely heralded “guest artists,’’ Mar- guerite Beriza of the Chicago Grand Opera company is to appear. “aida” will be repeated at tomorrow’s matinee, and a large attendance of high school pupils who have studied this opera in their music ceurse is expected. “ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY, | “ACTOIDS” for Indigestion.

LOUIS POST-DISPATOH, WEDNESDAY EVE NING, FEBRUARY 16, 1916. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Founded by JOSEPH PULITZER, Dec. 12, 1878. Published by the Pulitzer Publishing Co., 210-212 N. Broadway. ostemuctensnnainaendl £8 ot tt Entered THE POST-DISPATCH PLATFORM. I know that my retirement will make no difference in its cardinal principles, that it will always fight for progress _ corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and with the poor, always remain devoted -. with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory _ plutocracy or predatory poverty. JOSEPH PULITZER. ——————— American principles, that it stamps he colored race with the insignia of inferiority, 44 that it herds them into an odious and unsan!- iry ghetto, I wish to quote the dispassionate unprejudiced statements of our appellate tween the white and colored people as a basis for various regulations, such as separate schools, separate conveyances, and separate residence dis- tricts. It would seem difficult to sustain the as- sertion that segregation is contrary to American principles, in view of the fact that our Constitu- tion of Missouri, the organic law that supposedly reflects the sentiment: and policy of our people, provides for separate free public schools for the white and colored races. Mr. Justice Black, of the Missouri Supreme Court, in considering this separate school clause of the Constitution, said: “The framers of the Constitution and the people their votes in adopting it, it is true, were of on opinion that it would be better to establish mG maintain separate schools for colored chil- n. The wisdom of the provision is no longer tter of speculation. But it will be said the fication now in question is one based on o and so it is, but the color carries with it natural race peculiarities which furnish the rea- for the classification. There are differences im races not created by human laws, some, of which can never be eradicated. These differ- ences create different social relations recognized all well organized governments. If we cast The proposed segregation ordinance provides that if a white person owns property in a St Louis city block in which 75 per cent of all the residents are negroes, he shall be denied the highest of all privileges which ownership of ¢¢ | property confers, the privilege of occupancy. Similarly, it dénies the same privilege to the negro owner of property in a block in which 75 per cent of the residents are white persons. Manifestly, such an invasion of vital citizen- ship prerogatives and interference with accepted principles, which, if subject at all to interference, belong to a higher than the municipal jurisdic- tion, is a decidedly ambitious undertaking to be attempted by a mere city ordinance. The segregation plan is condemned as impolitic, inexpedient, inhumane, as a barrier to progress and as likely to aggravate race evils and to im- pose unjust burdens on the more handicapped of the two races. - ' From the standpoint of its legal merits only, it is still more to be condemned. The analogy of separate schools for negro chil- dren is cited. But because a so-called segregation in education, which the Missouri State Constitu- tion specifically authorizes and in fact makes mandatory, is as a matter of course upheld by the courts, does it follow that a discrimination in property rights which the State Constitution not only does not authorize, but impliedly condemns would be upheld? In pursuance of their authority to regulate rail- roads, the states have passed Jim Crow laws providing under penalty distinctive quarters for the two races on steam and electric utilities. because exercise of powers in respect to these enactments is held valid, does it follow that an enactment prohibiting negroes from owning stock in a railroad or enjoying without discrimination the full benefits of such ownership would be held valid? But Is it not apparent that this proposed ordinance rests on an entirely different legal basis from: past enactments cited as justifying its passage? Is it safe to assume that its infringement of fun- demental rights will be vindicated by judicial decisions on mere police power regulations? In the bill of rights of the Missouri Constitu- tion, Section 4 of Article II is called the “enjoy- ment of property” clause. It has been held that this clause is not violated by a great variety of regulations for preventing fires, conserving health and: promoting comfort in congested areas. For ‘how about all the other men ana women in over-| crowded professions, callings and activities? We have @ very long way to travel before omemnet of this kind will look feasible or desirable. = & * ST. LOUIS COUNTY’S ACHIEVEMENT. The extraordinary victory for the bond issue in St. Louis County marks a new era in the his- tory and progress of the county and gives im- petus to the good roads movement throughout the State. The 6 to 1 majority for the bonds reflects credit on the intelligence and progressive spirit of the people of the county. The vote was the logical result of the splendid campaign organized and conducted by the Per- manent Road and Bridge Association. This cam- paign in energy, intelligent direction, force and effectiveness is a model for other good roads campaigns. In the store ot material gathered and in the clean, direct, efficient methods em- ployed to arouse the voters and to convince them of the value of good roads and the wisdom of a good roads bond issue, the St. Louis County cam- paign laid the foundation of successful campaigns in every county. The men who planned and directed the campaign and their aids who did the practical work of bringing the voters into line deserve the gratitude of the county people. The overwhelming vote of confidence in the County Court should spur that body to prompt and efficient efforts to meet the just expectations of the people. No time should be lost in build- ing the bridges that have been destroyed and repairing those that have been injured. No time should be lost in perfecting plans for permanent, roads and putting them in execution. The money? should be honestly and effectively expended. The success of the good roads movement de- pends as much upon the actual results achieved with the money voted as in convincing the peo- ple that the money should be voted. The dem- onstration of the value of good roads lies in. the roads themselves. In the fine spirit of citizenship which infuced the leading men of the county to make heavy voluntary contributions of energy, utility, time and money for the good of the county and in the enthusiastic unity of the voters in support of progressive measures, St. Louis County has set an example to the city of St. Louis .and to every city and county in the State. If St. Louisans would undertake the. solution of their problems and the achievemerat of the things needed for St. Louis in the siame spirit Logs ex Post fe : fe? Mea Rove.

In considering an act of the State of Sesue ian requiring separate cars for colored people, “ae Justice Brown, of the Supreme Court of the United States, in answer to the assertion that the act branded the colored people as an inferior and dissolute race, said: “We consider the underly- ing fallacy of the plaintiffs’ argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation’ of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that con- struction upon it.” The act was sustained. (163 U. &. 637.) \ Justice Hannah, considering the Louisville seg- “ghetto” districts would be the logical result of “The enforced separation of the races alone is not a discrimination or denial of the constitutional guaranty; and, if such sepa- ration should result in the members of the col- oreg race being restricted to residence in the less desirable portions of the city, they may render those portions more desirable through their own efforts, as the white race has done. Economic equality is not created by statutory declaration nor guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.” Again, speaking of the opportunity of the negro for development, the same learned Judge said: “Those who have studied the future of the colored race declare that they must ultimately rise largely through the co-operation, the earnest efforts, and the loyal services of their own more fortun- ate and more enlightened brothers. For those ot the race who are doing their full duty in this re- spect, municipal segregation will simplify the problem; and, if there be those more fortunate members of the race who in the day of their good fortune would abandon their less fortunate fel- lows and be false to the duties and responsibili- ties laid upon them by virtue of their own suc- cess, municipal segregation will indirectly en- force their acceptance of those responsibilities and coerce their performance of the duties there- by imposed, and this in the end, will justify the enlighteneq civic spirit by which it is demanded.” (177 & W. 473.) Wy. ‘Court of Appeals in sus- taining the ordinance.) Justice Andrew, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (55 Pa, 209), considering a regulation or rule of a Street railroad requiring colored pas- ee nn ne oF the distinction as a basis for the rule, said: “The question is one of difference, not of super- iority or inferiority. Why the Creator made one black and the other white, we do not know; but the fact is apparent and the races distinct, each _producing its own kirid, and following the pe- thé province of the judiciary to legislate it away.

But what definition of “enjoyment of property” would permit an owner to be excluded from his own premises and denied those vital elements in ownership, occupancy and use? would be exercising police powers with a ven- geance. | This truly State courts of Maryland and Kentucky are said to have sustained segregation laws.

Munsen, British explorer, declared Louis that because of the United States’ Se ee ve ble by France and England for the losses citizens in Mexico. This country’s spe- cial guardianship under the Monroe Doctrine has been suggested as a reason for a special responsibility for Latin-American lapses. But nobody has yet succeeded in realizing any dollars on the theory. Mexico will be able and undoubtedly willing to pay its own losses. France and England may be tod busy adjusting the sea and other neutral losses resulting from their own unpleasantness to raise new issues extending liability in a war zone. ‘= % bl “Better lose 10 provinces than sacrifice our rep- utation for good faith,” said Wellington. A good international idea to ring in after the big war. A “FREE DOOTOR’’ SCHEME. Socialists have contended that dentistry and medical attention should be provided by the state, the dentists and doctors being paid salaries and have the standing of Government officials. Some doctors favor this scheme even now. At the recent meeting of the Federation of State Medical Boards in Chicago, Dr. Otto Huffman, secretafy of the New York tended for a plan placing “reputable physicians” on the public payroll at $4000 a year. seriously con- It is said that the average income of “repu- | table physicians” is only $500 a year, due ‘to the fact that there are far too many of them. Now, jf Or. Huffman’s suggestion should be carried out, would the Government select a sufficient of doctors to attend to the work by lot? rejected medics to do? if the public owes the doctors a living, 7 Washington was anxious that the United States should acquire no reputation of weakness. Congressmen should look up some of, his utter- ances while they are considering preparedness. = | * So BUDGET LIMITATIONS AND A, ‘‘GYM.’’ That the proposed municipal gym)gasium would be a valuable extension of the athietic facilities already provided at Fairground ‘Park, is clear. Those who advocate it must be credited with a sympathetic appreciation of the neseds which this new institution would meet. City revenue, however, is not illimitable and city needs are many. The appropriating author- ities must consider its relative im portance as con- trasted with other needs before approving it. Cer- tainly there are other needs that, rank higher. One is the municipal dock. Lack of money caused embarrassment in making provision for this essential to city trade arg growth. Lack of money is the only thing that stands between the city and the Twelfth street widening and the creation of a useful and stately thoroughfare to the southwest. Lack of money weighs heavily in planning for convenient transport in the broad spaces of Forest Park. It hasadicaps the work of extending the system of playground to portions of the city as yet unprovided with near-by piay- grounds though taxed to pay for playgrounds in other portions. The gymnasium is doubtleigs a desirable, but by no means compelling project when viewed from the standpoint.of budget limitations. It is not possible to obtain all desirable improvements in one year. a oe THE GREATEST BALLOON ALTITUDE. According to the Geographical Institute at Pavia, Italy, the highest altitude so far reached | by any balloon was 105,0'00 feet, or slightly over 12 miles aboye sea level; and 104,082 feet above actual ground. The balloon was of rubber and was filled with hydrogesa gas. The actual distance :zaversed measured 116,064 feet. At a neight of 69196 feet the temperature fell to minus 43 degrees and maintained that fig- ure all the balance of ‘fhe way up, ‘with only slight variation. The aviator, Giacconio Piccolo, was compelled to utilize his oxygen ifhalator after he reached the height of two miles, and reached ground in a collapsed condition nevertheless. Prof. Pericles Gampa, in the Annali di Ut- ficio, states that the benefits to science from that ascent were incalcujable, as it proved mainly two things: That the assumption of a 15-mile at- mosphere above the gfround is erroneous, and that the theory of ether outside of that limit is not admissible, “if it does not altogether do away with the ether theoity at any height.” The word “ether” has been formed to express the medium for light beyond tha assumed atmosphere. This ascent establishes l#eyond peradventure that the medium ig uniform. after the height of about 50,000 feet was reasthed. If the atmospheric con- sistency remains the same for 55,000 feet after that altitude, the ea@sumption that it will remain the same further vg reaches the dignity of a pre- sumption.” The Annali sug: tests that the data furnished by this ascent must, ‘Amperatively, be substantiated by further ascents before definite conclusions —. ‘should be drawn from 4his one alon~ | * HOLY WILLIE’S PRAYER T fecr that things are nae gaun well, Hoo this can be I tell; Baith ‘‘cultured courses’’ And ‘‘frightful’’ methods fail to quell The Allied forces.

A cigar deserves a better start, but some of our highbrows claim it got its name from our little friend, the katydid. “Cigarro” was the Spanish name, and the learned cnes twist this into coming from “‘cieada,”’ because it’s built some- what along the lines of that little pet. Then came the snuff craze. Every fei- low who hoped to get into the society columns lugged a box around with him and sniffed up a handful from time to time. ” And America did it! So far as anyone knows, they've been smoking over here since the year 1. The Indians thought so much of it that they put up the “No Fighting’ sign on the place in South Dakota ‘where the red pipestone came from.

I wish it were possible to bring to trial and to make pay dearly the man who separates a mother from a daughter. I wish there was some means whereby everybody would know him and shun him accordingly. .This wife, who has borne him -five children, has no doubt given 13 years of long service to the care of them and his household, When he took her for “better or for worse’ he Gia 86° With the full knowl- edge that she had _a little girl dependent upon her—dependent not only for mere] existence but for mother love—the most precious thing in the world, And yet by his selfish acti he has deprived this girl of the one being in the world whom sh’) needs most during her tender years. Who knows—perhaps this man may be responsible for endless misery that is the direct result of: the cruel separa- tion? Who knows but that at his door may be laid the sins of this girl's chil- dren and her children’s children? If 1 were the neighbor or friend of such a man I would certainly make him see that I wanted none of him and his seif- ish spirit. : Just because he happens to be the provider for his wife and children he has assumed his “head of the house” perquisites, and hig lord-and-master dic- tum has prevailed. In the meantime his poor wife has gone on suffering and longing for the girl who is as much her flesh and blood as are his own children. The very mother love that he has withheld from this little girl! has doubtiess kept the woman from leaving the. burden of his own five chil dren to himself. | If this mother were suddenly to leave him with the care of these little ones he would soon realize the trials and tribulations that have been hers, No matter at what sacrifices to‘his own wishes, the man should have welcomed into the home this girl for whom the mother craved. He certainly does not understand that he cannot combat the. fundamental principles of nature itse:f and “get away with it.” He should realize. that by making thig mother happy in ‘the life and she would no doubt radiate it in his ‘home, Some New Recipes the best winter food you 1 : It does not tax the delicate stomachs children, t ry Som amen | foundation for long. and good that old folks and | have it two or three nights a wee enacbe Agate of nang omy om at the increased health and | tizing dishes our free recipe you te MAULL BROS., St. Louis, U. 8.

(In the realms of six-and-bath, where one | “general houseworker’’ usually suffices, a real dinner party—meaning more than four per- sons—is a tragic anticipation to all concerned. It is usually prefaced by the mistress of the house coming into the kitchen and getting off this little song and dance: ‘‘Now, Delia, as we're going to have quite a few guests to- night I shall helr you to prepare dinner. I shall fix all the fussy, difficult dishes my- self, so you won't have anything to complain of at all."* And this is how she does it.) OW, have you a clean apron to of- N fer me, Delia? Not one that only LOOKS clean, please. One that IS-clean. Yes, that one will do, even though the one string is not securely sewed on. I’ve noticed that you are careless about apron strings.”’ Let me see. What shall I begin on? Caviar appetizers. Cut the bread in round pieces, toast it and open the caviar can, Delia, then I'll fix them. I could open the can while you're toast- ing the bread, but I cut myself on cone once, Then the soup. Oh, I see you have that all made. But remember about the soup: plates, Delia. Last time you used a nicked one and gave it to a very particular guest. Yeu'd better let me see the plates you're going to use. Yes, I know they’re on the top shelf, but it's ne trouble just to get them down and put them right back again. Balance the ironing board from the gas range to the tor of that chair. It’s pretty strons. I guess it'll hold you. There! That’s done. Now what comes after the soup? Oh, yes—crab meat in shells. Wash the shells, Delia. Now, how can they be I n the Kitchen. clean when they've been in closet for weeks? And make the sauce piqu&nte. I always give people their due. And of the few.things you do well, sauce pl- quante is one. Then, when you have it made I’ll pour it over the crab meat. Next come the @ucks. I see you have them all dressed and in the pan. [ll sprinkle a bit more pepper on them— ducks need a lot of pepper. And don’t forget the parsley on the platter. I won’t bother about the vegetables. My goodness if I pay a girl $25 a month and she can’t even cook vegetables witnout help, things are coming to a pretty pass! Cnly please remember when you're peel- ing potatoes that skins don’t grow an inch thick. The salad? Just grapefruit or lettuce. All you have to do is peel the grapefruit ard get the sections out unbroken. Sure- ly there is nothing difficult about that. And I’m not so terribly particular about these people, so I'll let you make the salad dressing. Dessert? Strawberries on vanilia mousse. Wash the strawberries care- fully after you hull them—grit is so un- pleasant. And you're pretty quick mak- ing the mousse most times. Now! You may untie my apron, Delia. Everything is virtually finished. And I bope you appreciate my consideration. Most housewives just let their maids flounder through themselves, as best they can, and then scold them after- ward. But I believe in justice and thut everybody’s a human being, just like myself. And, Delia, scrub up the kitch- én and polish the silver in between times. It won’t take a ‘minute.

Acid Stomachs Are Dangerous But men A Physician’s Advice on Cause and Cure A New York physician who has made @ special study of stornach and intestinal diseases says that nearly al! intestinal troubles, as well as many diseases of the vital organs, are directly traceable to a deranged condition of the stomach. ‘This in turn is due, about nine times out of ten, to excessive aciditv. commonly termed sour stomach or heartburn, which not only irritates and inflames the deli- cate lining of the stomach, but also may set up gastritis, and in a large majority of cases gastric ulcers are accompanied by hyperacidity. It is interesting to note that he condemns the use of patent medicines, and practically all medical treatment that is designed to act. upon the stomach lining, stating that the best results are obtained by the use of a _simple antacid which acts upon the con- tents of the stomach and neutralizes the acidity of the th rem “gource of the — ay So ee he poe ge ord nesia, an beedionl trea long as the conten ths + remo As usel he heal from omach heartburt er of a fiass of ° or ‘stories that are so old that [ter . ected tig eran cca 8 siren ea brceneer ess sles ss MARRY , A WEALTHY Giri.

NITED STATES TREASURER JOHN BURKE wrote a notori- ously poor hand when he was a boy attending country school. What made it all the more noticeable was that he had two brothers in the school who wrote phenomenally good hands. Whenever there were visitors to the school, one of Burke’s brothers was certain to be called on to make a few flourishes on the blackboard. Burke took the position that many of the greatest men in the country wrote poor hands and that it did not much matter, anyhow, as few persons ever saw one’s handwriting. And there was where he reckoned not wisely, for today his signature is being engraved on all the new money, and unless times are too hard will make its way into every household. A few months ago one of Burké’s former teachers saw his signature on anew bill ang it looked perfectly legible. Delightedly the teacher wrote Burke, saying: “T have just seen your handwrit- ing on a one-dollar bill, and your penmanship has improved wonder- fully.” to Too Soon.
