JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 17.—Ship- pers of Missouri won an important point in- their fight to. prevent the railroads of the State from enforcing the increased tariffs fixed by the Public Service Commission, yesterday, when Circuit Judge John G. Slate held in the Cole County Circuit Court that the commission had no power, under the Missouri Constitution, to raise railroad rates above the maximum fixed by. the Legislature in the two- cent rate law. ‘The order of Judge Slate automat- ically. will prevent the railroads from putting the higher rates into effect until the Supreme Court takes final action on the constitutional question through an appeal from Judge Slate's decision. Under the order of the commission, ths rates would have become effective March 1. William G. Busby, attorney for the commission, and Charles M. Miller, attorney for the Chicago & Alton Railroad, are preparing to take/ ‘an appeal immediately from Slate’s decision. They have entered into stipulations to eliminate all issues except the constitutional question. Other railroads except the Wabash were dismissed as parties to the ap- peal, at their own request, but the de- cision will be binding upon all alike. ~ “Constitution Clause Cited. M. B. Riiodes, attorney for the ship- pers in the rate cases, raised the constl- -. tutienal question of the. Commission's : in contradiction to three de- isions .of the Supreme Court in which : had held that the Com- could raise rates above the statutbry: maximum. Rhodes contended that in passing on the powers of the Commission, the Court had overlooked - Section 14, Aritcle 12, of the Constitution. which says: “Thé General Assembly shall, from time to time, pass laws establishing <ea- sonable maximum rates of charges for the transportation of passengers an: freight on said railroads.” The.order of the Circuit Court sus- tained Rhodes’ contention. In his de- cision, Judge Slate said: “To me that wording of the Cénstitution can be in- terpreted to have only one meaning and that is that the Legislature, and that body alone, has the power to fix maxi- mum rates. “And it must be done by luaws,’ and the power cannot be dele- gated by the Legislature to the public Service Commission or to any other body.” : The Supreme Court twice has refused to pass on the constitutional powers of the commission, although the issue was raised by attorneys in the: rate cases. Both Judges Faris and Graves of the Supreme Court have written opinions in which they indicated that question haa not been decided by the court. Called “Lion in the Path.” In the case of the Militia against the M., K..& T, Railroad Judge Faris, who wrote the majority opinion, decided the case on. other grounds, but referred to the. titutional point which would may ve decided at a future date. He “We will leave this question where State éx rel. vs. Missouri Public. Service Commission left it, till it again becomes the lon ‘in the path.” Judge: Graves, who wrote & separate conctirring Opinion in that case, took the ‘position that the constitutional QWestion:-had been raised, and should be decided by the court at that time. Be- Cause of the importance of the case, it t probable that the Supreme Court will advance the appeal for hea'- ing'‘in the ‘Apri! docket, and a final de- probably will be. given in the spring or carly summer. __ Miss SAYS LYMAN BOASTED _ OF CLEANING UP $700,000 Mleving Decker Promtecd te Teach ‘Him “Methods of the Street,’ Em- 5 ploye Testifies. ‘NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Additional regarding the operations of 7.

Du Bois Said to Have Ordered “That Ccunversations and Hand- shaking at Front Ceasc. BERLIN, Feb. 17, »y wireless to Say- ville.—During the recent fighting on the Somme copies of an order from the , army headquarters of the Sixth French Army, dated June 2, 1915, and signed by Gen, du Bois, were found, the Over- seas News Agency says. The text of the order is given by the news agency as follows: “The army commander has learned with indignation that at several places or the front conversations and even handshaking with the Germans have taken place. I am at a loss to under- stand how a Frenchman can sink sv low to shake hands with such bandits, who spread incendiarism and destruc- tion, assassinate women, children and old men, treacherously kill prisoners and kill our wounded by torture.”’ The news agency says the order pro- vides punishment for soldiers or officers who so conduct themselves. LETTER ABOUT BOOK STEVENSON GOT $100 FOR, BRINGS $250 Missives by Author of “Treasure Island” Disposed of in New York by His Stepdaughter. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Autograph letters of Stevenson were sold yes- terday from the collection owned by Mrs. Selisbury Field of Santa Bar- bara, Cal. Mrs, Field inherited the collection on the death of her moth- er, who was the author's wife. The top price was $250, which was paid for an unpublished letter to Stevenson’s mother in 1881 in which he mentions that he was paid only $100 for his “Virginibus Puerisque.” A letter to Stevenson’s father in which the author asserted that he Was going to re-write “Treasure Island,” brought $225. The sum of $167.50 was paid for a letter to Ste- venson's parents in which the author wrote that he had been offered “a hundred pounds—a hundred jingling, tingling golden minted quid” for “Treasure Island.” THIEF HAS A GAY RIDE IN A STOLEN WAGON Robs Woman Grocer Who Refuses to Buy Goods, Collides With Truck, but Escapes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—The Rockefel- ler foundation has invited physicians throughout the world to report to ‘t results of the administering of Chaul- moogra oil mixtures for leprosy. This oil is made from the seeds of a plant found in the Far East and is adminis- tered hypodermically. It is sometimes ‘combined with camphorated olive oil. An article written by Dr. Victor G. Heiser, director of the department for the East of the International Health Commission, before he departed for his post last week was published here to- day. In it Dr. Heiser says that leprosy is now being treated by the use of Chaulmoogra «oil mixture in institu- tions in the United States and in some places in the Orient, and that favorable reports of its efficacy have been re- ceived.

Alexander Hired by St. Louis Board Chargetl With Firing His Home. IS HELD IN DECATUR Had Just Shipped Furniture When Taken — Odd Let- ter in Case. Charles W. Alexande: of Ypsilanti, Mich., was recenti; engagid by the Board of Education as a teacher of commercial branches in the new Grover Cleveland High School here. He did not come at the time expected, and the board received a letter stating that, “for personal reasons,” he had been unable to accept the appointment. The nature of his ‘“‘personal reasons” appeared in a dispatch which the Post- Dispatch received today frum Decatur. Ill., stating that Alexander is in jail there, following an alleged confession that he set fire to his home in Decatur in November, 1914. He was then teach- ing in Decatur. The teacher’s present situation came about through a letter received by. C. W. Devore, Chief of the Decatur Fire Department. This letter was mailed from Detroit, and purported to be a con- fession, by one David C. Guffey, that he had set fire to Alexander’s house in Decatur. “Swore to Get. Even.” “When Alexander and I were young men together we loved the same girl,”’ the letter said. “He won her, and I swore to get even with him. I stole into Alexander’s house at night and set a fuse to a gasoline can and escaped. The firemen found the fuse and ac- cused Alexander of trying to burn his house for the insunance. I am now on my death bed, and want Decatur to know that Mr. Alexander was a good and honest man.’’ Up to that time serious suspicion had not attached to Alexander, and the De- catur authorities had practically droppeil the investigation into the burning of his home. But the S8tfatizge letter caused an inquiry, and a comparison of the writing with aleMander’s hand was made. While some differences appeared, such as might be made in an attempt to dis- fuise one’s writing, authorities said they found that the t’s were crossed in the same way, the crossing being neg- lected when a “‘t’’ appeared at the end ef a word. Because of this and other alleged evidences in handwriting, State Fire Marshal Bogardus went to Ypsi lanti and called on Alexander. The *eacher had just shipped his householc goods to St. Louis and packed his trunk preparatory to coming here. Questioned the Teacher. Confronting him with the specimens of penmanship. Bogardus questioned the teacher until he got an admission, au- thorities say, that Alexander burned his house, in the hope of getting the insur- ance. ) The Fire Marshal asked Alexander whether “Guffey’’ was an imaginarv person, and says he was somewhat sur- prised when Alexander replied that there was a Guffey, who had once been his rival in the way mentioned in the let- ter, and that Guffey had threatened to get even, but had never, so far as he knew, tried to carry out the threat This early acquaintance, he said, was_in a Kansas town. The existence of a real Guffey, under the circumstances “is they are declared to be, would not ben- efit Alexander in the eyes of a jury. Alexander was taken to Decatur and placed in jail, and a special session of the grand jury has been called, to avert the necessity of holding him without trial until the May term. Alexander’s wife is now in Blue Mound, Kan., where she went when he was arrested. The Decatur authorities say-only about $200 insurance was paid on the Alexander home.

EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 17.—Refugees from Chihuahua report that ‘Guy John- ston,’ the American ranch hand who was slain in Chihuahua Dec. 26 by Mex- ican bandits, was in reality Guy L. Hartman. a wealthy North Carolina distiller. He was under indictment, with Knox Booth, former Revenue Collector, who died at Memphis, Tenn. He was hunted by the Depart- ment of Justice as head of the dis- tillers’ conspiracy unearthed last summer, the purpose of which was to defraud the United States of hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in in- ternal revenues. The operations spread into Arkansas and the West. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—John L. Cas- per of Kansas City, who is serving a nine years’ sentence in the Leaveaworth Federal prison for participation ir. moon- shine frauds, has telegraphed William H.

PENNIES THROWN IN STREET BY STORE, TRAFFIC BLOCKED Men, Women and Children Scramble in Slush for Coins at Down- town Corner. Traffic at Seventh street and Frank- iin avenue was blocked, and street car's were moved with difficulty at 9 a. m. today, when a crowd of men, women and children that filled the streets, gath- ered to scramble for pennies which were thrown into the street by members of : salvage concern which wished to attract attention to the opening of its store at 700 Franklin avenue. The pennies were displayed in two kegs in the show windows of the store yes- terday. They were bright Lincoin coins, ana glistened like gold. Long before the time announce. for the scramble, urch- ins elbowed their way to the window and glued .wneir faces to the window panes in happy anticipation. Barney, Frank and Charles Grosberg, proprietors of the store, filled their coat pockets with the coins and appeared in the doorways of the store. They cast the pennies high into the air and toward the middie of the street. They then cavv coins westward on Frankiin avenue and southward on Seventh street. Men, women and children vainly tried to catch the money and then dropped te the street in a mad scramble. Many-of the coins fell into watery slush that had gathered in pools. Some arose trium- phantly with a penny or two, but all frose blackened with the dirt and grime of the street. Many ruined much more clothing than they got bacx in pennies, The scramble for money continued for three-quarters of an hour during whict time a patrolman at the corner was kept busy throwing urchins bodily from the car tracks to prevent their being injured. The Grossberg Brothers said nearly 10,000 pennies were thrown away. $2,000,000 MUNITIONS MADE IN U. S. REACH EUROPE DAILY Exports Are Greatly Increasing— High Explosive Shelis Form Greatest Part of Shipments. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—American- made munitions are pouring into Eu- rope at the rate of nearly $2,000,000 worth daily, with the figures swelling rapidly &s production increases. For a long time after war began, shipments were negligible and not until the middle of 1915 did war materials begin to move in considerable quantities. Estimates made at the Department of Commerce today put total munition shipments since Europe began to pur- chase for the present war, close to $250,000,000. At the rate shipments are going now the next four months would see this total doubled. A great part of the munitions output has been in the form of high explosive shells. Powder comes next and sma'l cartridges are third. CABINET GOSSIP TRENDS TOWARD HOUSTON FOR WAR SECRETARY His Transfer to Place From Agricul- tural Department Has Been Seriously Considered. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Cabinet gos- sip today took a strong trend toward the possible transfer of Secretary Houston ifrom the Department of Agriculture to the War Department. Dr. W. O. Thomp- son, president of the Ohio State Uni- versity, and Representative Asbury F. Lever of South Carolina, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, were being discussed as successors to Secre.- tary Houston. While nothing official was forthcom- ing, it is known that the possibility of the transfer of Secretary Houston has received serious consideration.

MUN AS TO OFFER OF PETROGRAD POST Refuses to Discuss Washington Dispatch That He Is Men- tioned for Place. el ONCE DECLINED A MISSION Was Offered Place as Ambas- sador to Argentine Repub- lic in 1914, Former Goy. Davia’ R. Francis this morning declined to discuss with a Post-Dispatch reporter an Associated Press dispatch from Washington which said he was being considered by President Wilson for the post of Ambassador to Russia to succeed George T. Marye, who has-resigned., Ambassador Marye gave ill health as the reason for his resignation. The resignation has not reached Wash- ington, but the President has been in- formed that it is on its way, and, dis- patches state, has already taken up the question of a successor. Former Gov. Francis, it was said in Washington, is under serious con- sideration for the post. In 1914 Francis was offered the post of Ambassador to the Argentine Republic, but declined. He has been mentioned at different times during the Wilson administration in connec- tion with appointments to other places in the diplomatic service. Post Ranks With French and German. The Russian ambassadorship ranks in diplomatic importance with the am- bassadorship to England, France and Germany. The same salary, $17,500, is paid to all of the American Ambassa- dors to the first class European and South American Powers and to Mexico The Russian ambaggadorship is of particular importance during the war, as many difficult problems have to be handled. On account éf our more inti- mate relations with England, France and Germany, while the war is in prog: fess, the Russian ambassadorship is not so attractive, because it offers less op- portunities for history making service. Russian English, Marye Found Task of Caring for Austrians and Germans Hard. PETROGRAD, Feb. 17.—The resigna- tion of American Ambassador Marye is regarded as coming at an especially in- opportune moment, in view of the fact that Charles S. Wilson, the first secre- tary, has been transferred and is leaving at once for Madrid. In expressing regret at the approach-]| ing departure of Mr. Marye, Foreign Minister Sazonoff voiced the opinion that the work done by the Ambassado- toward bringing about more cordial re- lations between Russia and the United States would bear fruit immediately aft- er the war, when the commercial rela- tions of the two countries would com- mand closer attention. Mr. Marye has found the work of car- ing for Austrian and German interests a difficult and irksome task. Rumors of criticisms of the embassy in its conduct of that work have reached Petrograd, but so far as js known here such com- plaints have not taken concrete form. Mr. Marye’s greatest difficulty, it is declared, arose from lack of sufficient help to look into the condition of deten- tion camps property and from dilatori- ness of departments of the Russian Gov- ernment, which consumes much time in investigations. A renewal of the trade treaty with Russia, which Marye hoped to see con- summated during his incumbency of the Ambassadorship, appears to have been on the road to enactment some months ago. It has been learned that Marye had been authorized last summer to ap- proach M. Sazonoff on the question of renewing the treaty relations along the lines of the old treaty which was abro- gated a few years ago, but eliminating the reference to passport right. M. Sazonoff is said to have assured Mr. Marye that Russia would welcome such negotiations, declaring that since the passpurt question was being consid- ered by a separate commission there was no occasion to incorporate a refer- ence to it in a commercial treaty. Onja the strength of this assurance, a draft of the treaty was prepared by Secretary of State Lansing. 14 HURT IN SEABOARD AIR LINE WRECK IN VIRGINIA Florida Limited Engine Jumps Track and Four Coaches Go Down Embankment.

Special to the Post- Tnispaich, CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—A score of men today began a search along the tracks of the Northwestern Railroad and the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Railroad for the bottle believed to have con- tained the poison which _ killed Miss Marian Frances Lambert, Lake Forest high school girl. The search was con- ducted on the theory that William H. Orpet, University of Wisconsin student, charged with the murder of Miss Lam- bert, may have hurled the bottle from train or interurban car on his way to Chicago after the farewell meeting ™ Helm’s woods in Lake Forest. The police enlisted the aid of several volunteers who have taken active part in the search for the bottle in the woods and it was the plan to work them im relays. State’s Attorney Dady said that ‘f the bottle could be found and it proved to be the one said to have been pur- chased by Orpet in Madison, the evi- dence would ‘be complete. The private detective who has been working on the case in Madison re- ‘turned to Waukegan and conferred with the State’s Attorney. Afterward. Dady said, Miss Lambert could not have taken the poison, judging from the position in which her body was found. “Miss Lambert's school books were in her right hang, and the burns from the poison also were on that hand,” Dady said. “She could not have taken the drug from that hand,.and I believe the position of her body was changed after she fell, despite Orpet's assertion me he re ran away.” | Last Want Ads were printed in the Post-/ IN EFFERSON CI Man Hit by Prisoner From Kan- sas City on Head With _ Hammer. - By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch.

By Dec. 145 the Germans were ham- mering at the Bzura line, later to be- come famous in the war. On Dec. 18 the German press announced a great vic- tory west of Warsaw, and school chil- dren were given a holiday to celebrate what was announced would be in his- tony a day that would go down in the records with such names as Salamis and Waterloo. Again in Warsaw was the frantic apprehension of uncertainty. The Germans will be here any day, we who were again in Warsaw in this crisis were told by the population. Once more came reinforcements, and again their armies hurled back over the Bzau- ra for the long months of trench war- fare that lay before them. Another Crisis In Past. In latter January came the fearful attacks on the Bollimov positions, where | we were told the Germans concentrated 600 guns and 10 divisions on a front of a few miles. roar ef guns and again the streets were filled with wounded pouring. back to the hospitals. Then reinforcements arrived and this crisis, too, was past. lief came the news of a great German movement in Bast Prussia followed by 4 still more acute menace from the Ger- man frontier at Miawa. For the third er fourth time trains from Petrograd were discontinued and the meek in heart again took refuge in flight and, for a few days hope once more faded | as reports of the German advance 9n | Przasnys came in from the north. Then came a few tense days. Oncs more the Grand Duke searched his front for reinforcements and once again the Germans were checked and this time thrown back clear to their own frontier. leaving countless dead and 15,000 pris- oners in Russian hands. Galicia Drive Blasts Hopes. Thus with the coming %! spring hore blossomed anew in Warsaw and even the most pessimistic began to believe that the German advance was finally checked. Thus passed the :nonth of April and then came the German avalanche in Galicia with the steady advances which took the Austro-German armies far east of Warsaw and on the sourrern flank. With the first attacks on Loesche enc the threat on Brest-Litovsk the hearts of the Poles sank. Then came the ews ef ‘the stubborn défense wrere and the temporary check given to the Germans. For two days Warsaw smiled when news from the North brought glvom tv every | face. The crossing of the Narew and the ad- vance of Wyszcow were responsible for the civil evacuation. The sight of the postoffice closing up and machine shuovs being dismantled for the copper in ths machinery produced a gilocm which silenced even the most optimistic ones tn the city. With the approach of the enemy aeroplanes again dotted the ahky above Warsaw and hardly a day passed | that bombs were not direpped on War- saw, killing er wounding civilians, men. women and children. Air Raids Made on City. In all the air raids I have seen vot one ever caused even the semblance of a‘ panic in the city. While the fight was raging on the Narew the evacuation con- tinued apace. The wounded were trun- dled out of the hospitais and sent east- ward on the trains, while for the first time one saw the roads benird Warsaw crowded with divisional transports go- ing to the rear. Field hospitals that had _been before Warsaw now began to drift back, and! the Red Cross trains that formerly had | their headquarters west of Warsaw now spent the nights east of the river. Per- eonally I have never been pessimistic, but by July 2 I was coming to that State of mind which could not ve de- ecribed as hopeful. Then came another change in senti- ment, It was known that tne Russians had checked the enemy at Wyezcew and thrown them back 10 miles. At once the Przasnys campaign was recailed ir March, when the Germans had been thrown back in the full tide of their ad- vance and once again one heard people ‘aying that the crisis was part and that Warsaw would yet weather the storm. Hopes Are Raised Again. in the meantime, ithe roar of guns from the south began te die away, and it was known that a German advance up much lopger the fury of thelr a+. tacks. Thus for the last time hope reigned in Warsaw on July 9, 1915.

Young Lawyers “With”, Brandeis. .“Many young lawyers in Boston are with Mr. Brandeis and respect him,” said Storey. ‘“‘But they are the young lawyers, who don’t know’ him. Young lawyers who do know him are against him. | Most of the. older lawyers, I think, are against him.”’ Regarding the Warren will case, in which Hollis R. Bailey, a Boston law- yer, charged that Brandeis was guilty of unprofessional conduct, Storey de- fended Brandeis. He said it was com- mon practi¢e for lawyers in such cases to represent all members of the family, even if some of their interests clashed. Another Lawyer Defends Brandeis. Sherman L. hipple, another Boston attorney concerned in the Warren will case, in response to questions by George W. Anderson, representing — made this statement: “As a lawyer Mr. Brandeis is able and learned. As a nian he is conscientious and high-minded. The feature of his career which is the most striking and remarkable has been his unselfish and unswervinz devotion to the social, moral and industrial uplift of the lowly and less fortunate of our peopte. I believe that on the Supreme Court bench of the United States: he will exert a strong influence in’ establishing the ideals to which he has been devoted in his re- cent years.’ Coming, however, specifically. to what he considered the legal and moral as- pects of Brandeis’ action in the Warren case, Whipple made this statement: 1***? ‘then claimed, and am now con- vinced, that the original transaction in- volved a breach of trust, in that it gave Samuel Warren and perhaps. another of the trustees an opportunity to make a great deal more than otherwise would have been allowed as trustee fees, ani violated the principle that the trustee shall not make © personal or private profits.” randeis “Possibly Careless.” Whipple said he did not believe Bran- deis iftentionally m&de the arrangement to give Warren a private profit. Like Storey, he felt that Brandeis had been possibly careless in not making clear to Edward Warreri all the effects of the transaction. “I believe that Mr. Brandeis, feeling there was a perfect family accord in regard to the way the business should be carried on, acted as he did. I cross- /examined Samuel Warren and am con-, vinced there was no taint of dishonesty. in the case.’ Regarding the James T. Lennox bank- ruptey case, Whipple said Brandeis told Lennox he feared he could not take the case because he thought he had other ‘elients who would be interested in the litigation, argong them the firm of Weil & Farrel, but .after conferences ; he agreed to take it. . “Mr. Brandeis did not make himself clear so any. man could understand him,” said Whipple., “He ,was, in love with the idea that he was looking after everybody, and looking ‘after the situa- tion,’ as he said. He was sincere about it and that illustrates why you haye heard these things from the Boston bar. I think they have misjudged Brandeis.

A Presi mt of Shoe Machinery Com- | pany, Again..Questioned Yesterday. In his examination of Sidney W. Winslow, president of the United Shoe Machinery Co., yesterday, Attorney Anderson sought to show that Bran- deis had urged the United Shoe Ma- chinery Co. to change the “tying” clause in its leases before suits were brought against it by the Govern- ment, and that he severed all rela- tions with the company because Win- slow refused to change the leases. | Anderson introduced in evidence a pamphlet entitled “Brandeis vs. Bran- deis, the Reversible Mind,” which the witness identified as one his company had issued several years ago. A long contention arose as to the introduc- tion and value of the document. A partial ‘copy of the bill book of the Brandeis law. firm had been intro- duced previously, showing that the firm handled two cases for the Shoe Machinery company after Brandeis resigned as director df the company. Turning to one page of the pamphlet, Anderson read the statement that “it appeared in spite of his quickened conscience Mr, Brandeis continued to act as counsel for the company for three years after he resigned as di- rector.” ! Anderson sought to disprove Winslow's testimony that Milton Florsheim of Chicago and Jackson Johnson of St. Louis had attempted to obtain $3,000,600 -worth of the United Shoe Machinery Co.’s stock, with a threat that they would make trouble if it were not sold to them, and that Brandeis continued to act as counsel for these manufacturers after being informed of-their action. Anderson read from the testimony of Florsheim. and Johnson in a suit brought against the United company in Massachusetts to prove ‘that béti of them swore they had no Téconec- tion of any such threat. wa LEFT BABY’S BODY IN.

George Kingsland Fisher of the bro- kerage firm of Fisher, Semple & Co, testifying in Judge Arnold’s court yes- terday in his divorce suit against Laura Shelby Fisher of 4545 McPherson avenue, told how a “sceattering’’ family vote caused him to:-buy three hats for his wife when he had intended to buy but one. Fisher gave this testimony to offset the allegation in his wife’s crossbill that he was stingy and did not properly provide for her. Morton Jourdan, Fisher’s attorney, asked him if he had ever bought cloth- ing for his wife. “Yes,’’ replied Fisher. ‘In iv06 I se- lected for her a fine opera coat and two silk dresses. I also bought her three hats and the amount of the. bill -was $75.’’ It was not made clear by testimony whether the $75 total covered the opera coat and the silk dresses or whether it was cost of the hats only. As to the hats, Fisher said: ‘‘I sent them home for her to make a selection from the three. I selected one that I liked. She preferred another and mv daughter, Mary, then 13 years old, liked the third. As the vote seemed to he rather scattering, I thought it best to keep all three. hats."’ VERDICT ACCUSES ELEVATOR CONDUCTOR IN GIRL’S DEATH Coronuer’s Jury Finds Ewald Himmel- man Was Guilty of Criminal Carelessness. A verdict of criminal carelessness on the part of Edward Himmelman, elevator conductor in the building of the Steinwender-Stoffregen Coffee and Spice Co., at 301 South Broad- way, was returned by a Coroner's jury today at the inquest into the death of Rose Trinka, 18 years old, of 2719 Winnebago street, who was killed yesterday morning by falling three stories down the elevator shaft. Himmelman did not testify upon ad- vice of counsel. Theodore Hedtkamp, foreman of the. company, testified that he was upon the elevator with the girl and that when the car reached the third story she did not ask that it be stopped, but raised the safety gate herself and stepped out. She struck the fire doors, about 18 inches from the shaft, anq fell back through the shaft as the car passed. Loretta Hogan of 1943 Madison street testified that Miss Trinka had told her in the morning that she was going to give up her job~-ves- terday and that she did not register upon her arrival in the morning.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 17.—The superdreadnought Pennsylvania, the largest battleship yet built for the United States navy, left the plant of the. Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock«Co. early. today for Rockland, Me., to run the official Government pspeed and endurance trials. The first two days of the voyage will be devoted to the tests of the warship by her byilders and the Government runs will begin Feb. 22 with the stand- ardization trial over the measured mile course off the Maine port. The Pennsylvania, with her main bat- very of twelve 14-inch rifles mounted in four turrets on the center line is de- clared by naval experts to be the most powerful sea fighter afloat. A broad- side shell fire from her big guns would weigh 18,000 pounds, which is said to be greater than the broadside of thegQueen Elizabeth of the British navy, which mounts eight 15-inch rifles. The Pennsylvania is 600 feet long and will have a full load displacement of nearly 33,000 tons. She is 97 per cent completed and will be ready for deliv- ery within a few months. SHIP SOLD FOR $30,000 IN 1912 BRINGS $85,000 Price Paid by Standard Oil Indicates Searcity of Mcrchant Vessels Since War Began. NEW YORK, Feb. I7.—The ateamshid Dunholme, sold four years ago as % fire-blackened hulk for $30,000, has been bought for approximately. $859,000 by the Standard Oil Co. This sale indicates the scarcity of bot- toms and the lengths to which ship- pers will go to get vessels to move freight since the war has so heavily burdened the merchant marine of both the allies and neutral countries. The Dunhoime, in November, 1912. while lying at Bayonne, N. J., near the Standard Oil Co.’s works, laden with case oil and ready for an ocean voyage next day was burned by a fire that be- gan with an explosion. She sank in her berth.

PRISON RECORDS Disposal of Crops Were Desired. By a Staff 5 gy gt of the Post- JEFFERSON "CITY, ered. 17.—Warden D. C. MeClung of the Missouri peniten- tiary, who also is chairman of the Dem- ocratic State Committee, yesterday re- fused permission to a Post-Dispateh re- porter to sée the records of the peniten- tiary farm showing the amount of pro- duction on the farm and the disposition of the products. % The Warden's action marked a con- tinuance of a policy of concealment of public records adopted by him more than a year ago. Within that time he has repeatedly refused permission for Post- Dispatch reporters and reporters of oth- er newspapers to see official records of the penitentiary. When the reporter yesterday asked for records of the prison farm, the Warden answered with profanity: “You can’t see a thing here. I won’t show you any records, ! \'won’t talk to you, or answer any of your questions.”’ Warden Becomes Angry. When the reporter urged that the rec- ords were public, and could not right- fully be withheld from public inspection, the Warden replied angrily: “That don’t make any difference, You can’t see them. You fellows write up a lot of stuff for your papers.” On the prison farm is grown nearly every variety of vegetables. There is a large production of milk and some fogs are raised. The reporter desired access to the records which would exact production and Just cone with it. ed to show the amount of farm products consumed by convicts in the prison, the amount, ‘if any, that was sold, and whether there was any left over and what was done with it. what was fusing access to these records prevents a publication of details of official busi- ness of the State, of interest to taxpay- ers whose money in part goes to the up- keep of one of the largest of the State’s More than a year agd the Warden ro- fused a reporter permission to examine prison records showing what was done with all the ice manufactured in the prison, and records showing the amount of gasoline purchased and how it was used. Governor Got Ice Free. Later the Warden admitted before an Investigating Committee of the Legisla- ture that Gov. Major received ice for the personal use of himself and his fam- ily free from the prison, and that sev- eral State officials bought gasoline for their automobiles from the penitentiary suppty. On another occasion the Warden re- fused permission to examine the records of the prison commissary, of which his son, Carl McClung, is storekeeper. All the supplies used by the prison pass through the commissary. After the Warden's refusal to see these records, Attorney-General John 'T’. Barker, a member of the Board of Prison Inspectors, gave the reporter a written order on the Warden, instruct- ing him to permit the reporter to ex- amine any records he wished to see. The Warden refused to heed the order. Later a firm. of expert accountants, employed by the Legislature, reported that large quantities of prison supplies were sent from the commissary to the Warden’s residence on order from Mrs, McClung. It was explained that these supplies were taken as payment for the board of convict servants employed by the Warden; the Board of Prison Inspectors having made an allowance of 50 cents a day for the board of each of the servants. : On another occasion the Warden re- fused permission for an examination of the accounts showing the expense he charged to the State for his trips on State business. The Warden said he considered his expense accounts pri- vate records. Accounting System Obsolete, Another time employes refused a re- porter permission to examine records to determine whether the Warden collected his salary in full for several months when he was in St. Loule nearly all of the time as chairman of the Democratic State Committee conducting a State campaign. ] An obsolete system of accounting places the management of the prison finances solely in the Warden's hands. Nearly all other State finances are han- dled in detail through the offices of the State Auditor and State Treasurer, and there detailed information concerning expenditures may be had. The Warden of the penitentiary draws money from) the treasury in lump sums and does not file with the Auditor detailed statements of his receipts and disbursements.

S an outcome of the passage of the good roads bond issue for ‘St. Louis founty, John G. Lonsdale, president of the National Bank of Commerce, closed a’ con- - tract yesterday for the purchase of the: country home belonging to Julius Koehler in St. Louis County near the Gravois road. This prop- erty is not far from that of Williar J. Lemp and Harry B. Hawes, near’ Sappington. The home overlooks thé Meramec River, is strictly modern and a beautiful place. The sale Was contingent on the passage of the bond issue and Lonsdale signed the papers immediately after the result became known. Lonsdale said: ‘“The good roads .}. bond issue makes the city and the county meet. In other words, a man car have his business in the city and yet enjoy all the beauty and quietness of the country, by having his home in St. Louis Coun- ty. I doubt if the average visitor coming to St. Louis ewer gets an opportunity to see the beauties of the country around St. Louis, but with the good roads this handicap will be greatly overcome, and the wonderful scenic effects will be ap- preciated.

Sappington, with its vote of 2%1 to 1, was the banner precinct of the county in supporting the bond issue. It is one of the divisions of Carondelet Town- ship. Oakville precinct, in the. same township, had the next smallest number of “‘antis,’’ its vote being 191 to 4. Through a remark made by Nebe as he cast his ballot, it was known to the judges apres clerks of election in Sap- '? the bond Issue. ; Pn marking his ballot, and one of the election officials, thinking he had not made up his mind, told Aim that all his neighbors were voting for the bonds. “I guess a few votes against them won't hurt, then,’”’ he replied, and marked his ballot in the negative. Home Difficult te Reach. A Post-Dispatch reporter went to Nebe’s home yesterday afternoon to inquire as to his reasons for opposing the bond issue. It was no@esy’ journey. The Nebe home is three-fourths of a mile west of the intersection of the Sap- pington extension road and the Concord road, this intersection being a mile and a half south of Gravois road. The | section of the Concord road near the Nebe place is very muddy, and a pri- vate road, which forms the last quarter mile of the way to the tigen Bee: is a miry expanse. Nebe, who is 55 years old, has lived since he was 9 years old on the 4-acre, farm, which was his father’s place. His father was an old neighbor of Ulysses S. Grant; and his wife, Mrs. Cather- ine Nebe, is a daughter of Johann George Aff, for whom the town of Aff- ton was named. Nebe was in the field when the re- porter reached the house, and . +s. Nebe said she would gpeak for him, as she said he was not much of a talker. She expressed the hope that no one would think her husband was opposed to progréss, or to prblic improvements, because he had voted against the bonds: “We gave $100 to improve the Sapping- ton extension road,’’ she said, “and $10 for the Mattese School road, and we have given to the Kennerly road, and to other improvement work, according to our means. So I think no one can call us unprogressive.

Storms have interfered with operations on the front in France and there has been a snowstorm in the Russian fight- ing zone. Reports from the front in France de- scribe the weather for the last 48 hours as the worst experienced since the war began. The gale was particularly severe in the Belgian district, where roofs were blown off the houses, trees up- rooted and many persons injured, and vhere a large section of territory was flooded. The British and Germans are still at deadiy grips for possession of the trenches captured from the British southeast of Ypres, artillery and hand grenades being employed in the fighting. In the attack in which the British lost 600 yards of a front line trench the Ger- mans attacked over a front of 4000 yards buc Were everywhere repulsed with con- siderable losses except at the point the trench was captured.

Quisenberry has resigned as as- sistant secretary and director of the Missouri State Poultry Experiment Sta- tion, an office which he has held for nearly twelve years. He will devote his time to his correspondence school on poultry, which he has developed into a large organization. Since the Missouri station was cre- ated the membership of his privates school has grown to between 4000 and 000. The first two years of his service, Quisenberry received no salary from the State, the next two he received $200 annually, and since that time his salary has increased to $1230. The bi- ennial appropriation for the station is row $66,000. LIFE TERM FOR WOMAN Spy Britain Had First Sentenced Alien to Death. LONDON, Feb. 17.—The case of a woman spy who was recently sentenced to death, but whose sentence was com- muted to penal servitude for life, wos announced in the House of Commons to- day by Herbert L. Samuel, Secretary of State for Home Affairs. The woman's activities were discov- ered six days after her arrival in Great Britain and her correspondence inter- cepted in the interval between this time and her arrest. She was not a British subject. Owner of Leather Gauntlets Wanted. The police are trying to find the owner of a pair of chauffeur’s black leather gauntiets that were taken away from Russell Read, 17 years old, who says he has no particular place of abode. He was arrested yes- terday after taking a lap robe from the automobile of L. H. Newman, an attorney in the Pontiac Building, He refused to tell where he obtgined ‘the gauntlets. zB rebates, and that about $500,000 of such rebates was believed to be due the company. “Did you know,” asked Daniel N. Kirby, counsel for the company, “that you were charging Mr. McKittrick with a crime under the Federal law, and a crime against the company?” Zeitinger said, in reply to Kirby's questions, that he did not intend to eharge McKittrick with criminal acts, and he admitted that his charge was based on rumors. “If anything was stated that was not a fact,’’ he said, “I didn’t swear to it. I only swore to the facts.” He admitted that the re- bating charge represented a “mental cenclusion’’ on his part. He was further asked his reason for charging, in his petition, that the re- ceivership suit filed by Peter T. Byrne, in the Federal Court, had not been brought in good faith, and that Byrne was acting as a secret agent of the Mc- Kittrick interests, delaying his case for the purpose of ‘preventing a genuine re- ceivership proceeding from being insti- tuted. Byrne has since ‘lismissed his suit and joined as a plaintiff in the suit now being tried. Zeitinger said he had no positive in- formation on which to base the allega- tion that Byrne was a secret agent of the McKittricks. He said, in his direct testimony, that if he had known the dry goods company Was engaged in real estate deals, he would not have purchased stock in It. He acquired his stock in 1908, after the purchase of the William Barr Co., but before the Railway “Exchange Building deal had taken definite form. He was cross-questioned as to the knowledge hoe might have had, in the last few years, of the building plan, and said he read newspaper articles, but did not consult the records until last May. Zeitinger testified yesterday afternoon about interviews he had with Thomas H. McKittrick apd R. McKittrick Jones in regard to affairs of the Hargadin: company. The witness said that in 1914 he went to the offices of the company at 911 Washington avenue and asked to nee } the books of the company. According to his testimony, McKittrick said: “There have been 40 lawyers here; you can't do any good.

Could anything be more dramatic than these unshaven, dirty warriors pouring through the town, with the Polish popu- lation stripping the flower shops to throw blossoms in their pathway and deck these stained and worn veterans with garlands? By nightfall they were in the fighting line, and the thunder that shook the streets was from Rus- sian guns and not from Germans. For three days the Russian troops poured through the town. The crisis was passed and the German invasion for the, moment was stayed. City Gains a Respite. From.

Per- sonally I have never beew pessimistic. but by July 2 I was coming to that} State of mind which could not ve de- ecribed as hopeful. Then came another change in senti- ment. It wags known that tne Russians had checked the enemy at Wyaezcow and thrown them back 10 miles. At once the Przasnys campaign was recailed ir March, when the Germans had been thrown back in the full tide of their ad- vance and once again one heard people saying that the crisis was part ana that Warsaw would yet weatber the storm, Hopes Are Ralacd Again. jn the meantime, the roar of guns from the south began to die away, and the Thirty-sixth corps south of the city had been hurled back with heavy losses. “imilar feelers on the Bioine line came to an abrupt and untimely end for the Germans. Warsaw picked up hope again—a hope that soared when it became known that Sunitary trains that had been sent away were coming back and the flow of trans- port going east had ceased and some of it had actually started back. “Besides,” one was told, “‘the staff of the second army is still in town.” Personally I believed that the gravest Canger was past, for it s@emed incred- ible that the Germans could rush reji)- furcements in sufficient volume to kces uj much lopger the fury of thelr a+. tacks. Thus for the last time hope reigned in Warsaw on July , 1915. The next article by mr.

How Pennsylvania Compares With | - Largest Ships in Three Rival Navies HE experts of the United States Navy believe that the Penn- sylvania is the greatest fighting ship afloat and their belicf is founded upon the following comparative data concern- ing her and the newest and greatest ships in the Britith, German —— Eliza- 31,400 tons 27,500 tons 28,000 tons $12,500,000 It ‘will be noted that the Pennsylvania is the slowest of the four great ships, but she is a battleship, not a battle cruiser, and her mis- sion in a fight is to give and take and the Navy Department says her heavier armament enables her to give a better account of herself than any other ship afloat. However, it is admitted that the lesson of this war is that even battleships must have speed and apy future ad- ditions to the battle fleet will take this into consideration. The range of the 15-inch gun is sajd to be six miles greater than the/14-inch, but the United States Navy Department deliberately elected to equip the Pennsylvania with smaller guns on the ground that effective séea-fighting is impossible at a greater range than 14 miles and that up to that distance the broadside from the Pennsy!l- ~ yania’s 12 fourteens would be greater and far more destructive than Fuso (Jap.} i 39,600 tons 22 knots 12 14-in. 16 6-in. 1100 men $14,000,000 14 miles 12-in, Ersatz Worth eth (Br.)

Young Lawyers “With” Brandeis. “Many young lawyers in Boston are with Mr. Brandeis and respect him,” said Storey. “But they are the young lawyers, who don’t know him. Young lawyers who do know him are against him. . Most of the older lawyers, I think, are against him.’’ Regarding the Warren will case, in which Hollis R. Bailey, a’ Boston law- yer, charged that Brandeis was guilty of unprofessional conduct, Storey de- fended Brandeis. He said it was com- mon practice for lawyers in such cases to represent all members of the family, even if some of their interests clashed. Another Lawyer Defends Brandeis. Sherman L. Whipple, another Boston attorney concerned in the Warren will case, in response to questions by George W. Anderson, representing Brandeis, made this statement: ~ ‘As a lawyer Mr. Brandeis is able and learned. As a nian he is conscientious and high-minded. ‘The feature of his career which is the most striking and remarkable has been his unselfish and unswervin~ devotion to the social, moral and industrial uplift of the lowly and less fortunate of our peopte. I believe that on the Supreme Court bench of the United States he will exert a strong influence in’ establishing the ideals to which he has been devoted in his re- cent years.”’ Coming, however, specifically.to what he considered the legal and moral as- pects of Brandeis’ action in the Warren case, Whipple made this statement: ***? then claimed, and am now con- vinced, that the original transaction in- volved & breach of trust, in that it gave Samuel Warren and perhaps another of the trustees an opportunity to make a great deal more than otherwise would have been allowed as trustee fees, and violated the principle that the trustee shall not make ~ personal or private profits.” Brandeis “Possibly Careless.” Whipple said he did ot believe Bran- deis intentionally made the arrangement to give Warren a private profit. Like Storey, he felt that Brandeis had been possibly careless in not making clear to Edward Warrer all the effects of the transaction. “I believe that Mr. Brandeis, feeling ‘there was a perfect family accord in regard to the way the business should be carried on, acted as he did. I cross- }examined Samuel Warren and am con-, vinced there wae no taint of dishonesty | in the case.” Regarding the James T. Lennox bank- ruptcy case, Whipple said Brandeis told Lennox he feared he could not take the case because he thought he had other elients who would be interested in the litigation, argong them the firm of Weil & Farrel, but after conferences. he agreed to take it. “Mr. Brandeis did not make himself clear so any man could understand him,” said Whipple.. “He .was in love with the idea that he was looking after everybody, and looking ‘after the situa- tion,’ as he said. He was sincere about it and that illustrates why you have heard these things from the Boston bar. think they have misjudged Brandeis. he had been different, had not so held i | could now become, a very wealthy man. Moses J. Stroock, a New York attor- ney, who took part in the Lennox case, followed Whipple as a witness. ‘ President. of Shoe Machinery Com- pany Again oned Yesterday. In his examination of Sidney W. Winslow, president of the United Shoe Machinery Co., yesterday, Attorney Anderson sought to show that Bran- deis had urged the United Shoe Ma- chinery Co. to change the “tying” clause in its leases before suits were brought against it by the Govern- ment, and that he severed all rela- tions with the company because Win- slow refused to change the leases. Anderson introduced in evidence a pamphlet entitled “Brandeis vs. Bran- deis, the Reversible Mind,” which the witness identified as one his company had issued several years ago. A long) contentjon arose as to the introduc- tion and value of the document. A partial ‘copy of the bill book of the Brandeis law. firm had been intro- duced previously, showing that the firm handled two cases for the Shoe Machinery company after Brandeis resigned as director 6f the company. Turning to one page of the pamphlet, Anderson read the statement that “it appeared in spite of his quickened conscience Mr, Brandeis continued to act as counsel for the company for three years after he resigned as di- rector.” Anderson sought § to disprove Winslow’s testimony that Milton Florsheim of Chicago and Jackson Johnson of St. Louis had attempted to obtain $3,000,600 -worth of the United Shoe Machinery Co.’s stock, with a threat that they would make trouble if it were not sold to them, and that Brandeis continued to act as counsel for these manufacturers after being informed of.their action. Anderson read from the testimony of Florsheim and Johnson in a suit brought against the United company in Massachusetts to prove ‘that bétfi of them swore they had no réecollec- tion of any such threat.

FISHER SAYS HE HAD TO BUY WIFE 3 HATS ON FAMILY VOTE Broker Testifies He Selected One, Mra. Fisher Another and Daughter Preferred Third One. George Kingsland Fisher of the bro- kerage firm of Fisher, Semple & Co, testifying in Judge Arnold’s court yes- terday in his divorce suit against Laura Shelby Fisher of 4545 McPherson avenue, told how a “scattering’’ family vote caused him to-buy three hats for his wife when he had intended to buy but one. Fisher gave this testimony to offset the allegation in his wife’s crossbill that he was stingy and did not properly provide for her. Morton Jourdan, Fisher’s attorney, asked him if he had ever bought cloth- ing for his wife. “Yes,"’ replied Fisher. ‘In 1906 I se- lected for her a fine opera coat and two silk dresses. I also bought her three hats and the amount of the. bill was $75.” It was not made clear by testimony whether the $75 total covered the opera coat and the silk dresses or whether it was cost of the hats only. As to the hats, Fisher said: “I sent them home for her to make a selection from the three. I selected one that I liked. She preferred another and mv daughter, Mary, then 13 years old, liked the third. As the vote seemed to he rather scattering, I thought it best to keep all three. hats."’ VERDICT ACCUSES ELEVATOR CONDUCTOR IN GIRL’S DEATH Coronuer’s Jury Finds Ewald Himmel- man Was Guilty of Criminal Carelessness, A verdict of criminal carelessness on the part of Edward Himmelman, elevator conductor in the bullding of the Steinwender-Stoffregen Coffee and Spice Co., at 301 South Broad- way, was returned by a Coroner's jury today at the inquest into the death of Rose Trinka, 18 years old, of 2719 Winnebago street, who was killed yesterday morning by falling three stories down the elevator shaft. Himmelman did not testify upon ad- vice of counsel. Theodore Hedtkamp. foreman of the company, testified that he was upon the elevator with the girl and that when the car reached the third Story she did not ask that it be stopped, but raised the safety gate herself and stepped out. She struck the fire doors, about 18 inches from the shaft, ang fell back through the shaft as the car passed. Loretta Hogan of 1943 Madison street testified that Miss Trinka had told her in the morning that she was going to give up her job~-ves- terday and that she did not register upon her arrival in the morning.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 17.—The superdreadnought Pennsylvania, the | largest battleship yet built for the United States navy, left the plant of the Newport News Shipbuilding anda Dry Docik«Co. early today for Rockland, Me., to run the official Government @speed and endurance trials. The first two days of the voyage will be devoted to the tests of the warship by her builders and the Government runs will begin Feb. 22 with the stand- ardization trial over the measured mile course off the Maine port. The Pennsylvania, with her main ba't- ‘ery of twelve 14-inch rifles mounted in four turrets on the center line is de- clared by naval experts to be the most powerful sea fighter afloat. A broad- side shell fire from her big guns would weigh 18,000 pounds, which is said to be greater. than the broadside of th ueen Elizabeth of the British navy, which mounts eight 15-inch rifles. The Pennsylvania is 600 feet long and will have a full load displacement of nearly 33,000 tons. She is 97 per cent completed and will be ready for deliv- ery within a few months. SHIP SOLD FOR $30,000 IN- 1912 BRINGS $85,000 Price Paid by Standard Oil Indicates Searcity of Mcrehant Vessels Since War Began. NEW YORK, Feb, I7.—The steamship Dunholme, sold four years ago as 4 fire-blackened hulk for $30,000, has been bought for approximately $859,000 by the Standard Oil Co. This sale indicates the scarcity of bot- toms and the lengths to which ship- pers will go to get vessels to move freight since the war has so heavi'y burdened the merchant marine of both the allies and neutral countries. The Dunhoime, in November, 1912. while lying at Bayonne, N. J., near the Standard Oil Co.’s works, laden with case oil and ready for an ocean voyage next day was burned by a fire that be- gan with an explosion. She sank in her berth. Her British owners aban- doned her to the underwriters, Lloyds who sold her to the Merritt & Chap- man Wrecking Co. at auction for $30,- oo The corporation raised her, took her to its pier at Stapleton, 8. L, and kept her there until last fall, when she was disposed of to the secemaamemesoite Navi- gation Co. There had been ainda rumors about sales of the Dunho!ime, and it was said that, as late as last July, she could have been “‘anybody’s ship for $60,000.” Busy See Bakery Special.

C. MeClung of the Missouri peniten- tiary, who also is chairman of the Dem- ocratic State Committee, yesterday re- fused permission to a Post-Dispateh re- porter to see the records of the peniten- tiary farm showing the amount of pro- duction on the farm and the disposition of the products. a The Warden's action marked a con- tinuance of a policy of concealment of public records adopted by him more than a year ago. Within that time he has repeatedly refused permission for Post- Dispatch reporters and reporters of oth- er newspapers to see official records of the penitentiary. When the reporter yesterday asked for records of the prison farm, the Warden answered with profanity: “You can’t see a thing here. I won't show you any records, ! won't talk to you, or answer any of your questions.’’ Warden Becomes Angry. When the reporter urged that the rec- ords were public, and could not right- fully be withheld from public inspection, the Warden replied angrily: “That don’t make any difference. You can't see them. You fellows write up a lot of stuff for your papers.” On the prison farm is grown nearly every variety of vegetables. There is a large production of milk and some nog% are raised. The reporter desired access to the records which would show the exact production and just what was cone with it. The records were cxpect- ed to show the amount of farm products consumed by convicts in the prison, the amount, ‘if any, that was sold, and whether there was any left over and what was done with it. The Warden’s action in arbitrarily re-' fusing access to these records prevents a publication of details of official busi- ness of the State, of interest to taxpay- ers whose money in part goes to the up- keep of one of the largest of the State’s institutions. More than a year agd the Warden ro- fused a reporter permission to examine prison records showing what was done with all the ice manufactured in the prison, and records showing the amount of gasoline purchased and how it was used. Governor Got Ice Free. Later the Warden admitted before an Investigating Committee of the Legisla- ture that Gov. Major received ice fur the personal use of himself and his fam- ily free from the prison, and that sev- eral State officials bought gasoline for their automobiles from the penitentiary suppty. On another occasion the Warden re- fused permission to examine the records of the prison commissary, of which his son, Carl McClung, is storekeeper. All the supplies used by the prison pass through the commissary. After the Warden's refusal to see these records, Attorney-General John 'T. Barker, a member of the Board of Prison Inspectors, gave the reporter a written order on the Warden, instruct- ing him to permit the reporter to ex- amine any records he wished to see. The Warden refused to heed the order. Later a firm. of expert accountants, employed by the Legislature, reported that large quantities of prison supplies were sent from the commissary to the Warden's residence on order from Mrs. McClung. It was explained that these supplies were taken as payment for the board of convict servants employed by the Warden; the Board of Prison Inspectors having made an allowance of 5) cents a day for the board of each of the servants. On another occasion the Warden re- fused permission for an examination of the accounts showing the expense he charged to the State for his trips on State business. The Warden said he considered his expense accounts pri- vate records. Accounting System Obsolicte. | Another time employes refused a re- porter permission to examine records to determine whether the Warden collected his salary in full for several months when he was in St. Loulse nearly all of the time as chairman of the Democratic State Committee conducting a State campaign. An obsolete system of accounting places the management of the prison finances solely in the Warden’s hands. Nearly all other State finances are han- died in detail through the offices of the State Auditor and State Treasurer, and there detailed information concerning expenditures may be had. The Warden of the penitentiary draws money from the treasury in lump sums and does not file with the Auditor detafied statements of his receipts and disbursements. Thus, when the Warden refuses the public access to public records, theré is no other place the information can be obtained. Busy Bee Candy Bargain Friday.

Sappington, with its vote of 21 to 1, was the banner precinct of the county in supporting the bond issue. It is one of the divisions of Carondelet Town- ship. Oakville precinct, in the same township, had the next smallest number of ‘‘antis,”’ its vote being 191 to 4. Through a remark made by Nebe as he cast his ballot, it was known to the judges and clerks of election. in Sap- pington piecinct that he was the lone opponent ¢f > the bond issue. He was deliberaté in marking his ballot, and one of the election officials, thinking he had not made up his mind, told lim that all his neighbors were voting for the bonds. “I guess a few votes against them won't hurt, then,” he replied, and scat — ballot in the negative. me Difficult te Reach, A Post. Dispatch reporter went to Nebe’s home yesterday afternoon to inquire as to his reasons for opposing the bond issue. It was no@asy journey. The Nebe home is three-fourths of a mile west of the intersection of the Sap- Pington extension road and the Concord road, this :intersection being a mile and a half south of Gravois road. The section of the Concord road near the Nebe place is very muddy, and a pri- vate road, which forms the last quarter mile of the way to the farmhouse, is a miry expanse. Nebe, who is 55 years old, has lived since he was 9 years oid on the #-acrg} farm, which was his father’s place. His father was an old neighbor of Ulysses S. Grant; and his wife, Mrs. Cather- ine Nebe, is a daughter of Johann George Aff, for whom the town of Aff- ton was named. Nebe was in the field when the re- porter reached the house, and . -s. Nebe said she would speak for him, as she said he was not much of a talker. She expressed the hope that no one would think her husband was opposed to progréss, or to prblic improvements, because he had voted against the bonds. “We gave $100 to improve the Sapping- ton extension road,’’ she said, “and $10 for the Mattese School road, and we have given to the Kennerly road, and to other improvement work, according to our means. So I think no one can call us unprogressive.

IT. —An alliance between Gov. Major and Joseph b. Shannon, one of Kansas City’s politica’ bosses, has been made in an attempt tc overthrow Tom Pendergast, the other Democratic boss, supported by United States Senator James A. Reed, in the Democratic primary election today to select delegates to a convention Satur- day which will nominate a candidate for Mayor. thrown its entire strength to the sup- port of Mayor Henry Lee Jost for re nomination, and the Pendergast-Reed faction is backing R. Emmett O’Malley, a wholesale cigar dealer. Darius A. Brown, who was the Re- publican Mayor in 1910, and who served two years, was nominated for Maytor at a meetigg of the nonpartisan organiza- tion here today. During his term Brown established what was said to be the first municipal Cabinet in the country. It was comprised’ of men from all walks of life who met each Monday morning to discuss the city’s business with the Mayor and other officials. Members of the Cabinet served without pay. Never in the history of Kansas City’s turbulent politics has there been a po- litical fight of such intense bitterness. Democratic leaders throughout the State fear the fight between the tw9 tosses for supremacy in Kansas City will endanger the success of the party ticket in the November election. May Have Republican Mayor. It is freely predicted that it Jost should win the primary election today his delegates will be unseated by the Fendergast-controlled -Demecratie City Committee in the convention Saturday. On the other hand, it is declared thai if O'Malley should win, Jost will boit the convention and probably run as an independent candidate, thus insuring the eection of a Republican ‘Mayor. Gov. Major’s Police and Electiun Poards are supporting Shannon as the Gov. Major to obtain the appointment of James B. Compton as a County Judge tc succeed R. D. Mize, a Pendergast man. Through this deal Shannon ob- ‘tained control of the County Court and swept about 600 Pendergast men out otf political jobs; In return for Major's fa- vors he is to have the support of the Shannon-Jost machine in his contest for United States Senator-against Senator Reed, if he should become a candidate. The Penderga leaders charge that orders have been issued to the police, under control of a Major board, and to the saloons, which obtain their licenses from the Police. Board, to line up Zor Jost in the election. The two Police’: Commissioners ap- pointed by Gov. Major, J. L. Lapsley and Col. Fred Lamm, are both on Jost delegations. The Mayor himself con- stitutes the third member of the Police Board, All Den The Post-Dispatch A A was unable to find by inquiry among nu- merous saloon mien that any actual or- ders had been issued by the Polic® De- partment to take sides with Jost in the election. The Chief of Police and Police Commissioners deny that any such or- der was tssued. The fact that the Po- lice Commissioners are so active in be- half of Jost is believed to be respon- sible for the report.

WEST END POLES” Appears in Opposition to Cup- ples’ Application to String Wires on Newstead Avenue. There was a public hearing at 10 o’cloeck this morning before the Board of Public Service on the application of the Cupples Station Light, Heat and Power Co., to erect poles and string wires along Newstead avenue from Eas- ton avenue to lorest Park boulevard. The Cupples company aims to be a com- petitor of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. Among those who appeared to protest against the granting of the permit was Richard McCulloch, president and gen- eral manager of the United Railways, who lives at 4394 Westminster place. McCulloch told the board that he want- ed it understood he was appearing in a personal capacity, and that his objec- tion to the permit was solely on the ground that another line of poles and wires would be unsightly and wouid depreciate the property adjoining New- stead avenue and on other streets near there. There is already a line of poles belonging to the Union Electric along the entire distance covered in the Cup- ples request." The Kinloch Telephone Co. also has poles along part of the distance. No Need for More Poles. McCulloch said that he did not see the need for more poles because he thought no competition in the lighting business was needed. He said that the State Public Service Commission has power to fix rates, and that it should do that, re- gardleses of competition. President Kinsey of the Board of Pub- lic Service toid McCulloch it was not within the province of the board to de- cide whether or not competition Was Kinsey said the Cupples com- pany had a franchise, and was entitled to consideration. McCulloch then suggested that the Cupples wires be placed in underground conduits. Kinsey reminded him that former City Counselor Baird had ruled that the city ordinances prohibited the construction of such conduits outside the underground district. McCulloch re- peated his statement that he was op- posed to any mcre poles being placed on Newstead. avenue, Others in Opposition. Others who spoke against granting the permit Were the Rev. John W. Day, Paul Bakewell Jr. and John H. Farish, a real estate man. Farish represented the New Cathedral and other property owners. He id that in time people from all nc of the country . would come to St. Louis to see the interior of the New Cathedral and he thought it would not be good public policy to allow the streets on which the Cathedral stands to be made unsightly with more poles. The case of the Cupples company was presented by its manager, R. Richard Bradley, who said that the permission fo erect another line of poles was sought only as a last re- sort. It was desired in order to con- nect the company’s plant in Wellston with the plant at Seventh and Spruce streets, so that the service of. the company could be extended. , He said his company has repeat- edly requested permission to use the Union Electric’s poles and had of- 1 fered to reconstruct the entire line of poles for the Union Electric if the permission were granted. These re- quests were ignor:d, he said. He told of having made such arrange- ments with the Kinloch company, put- ting in higher and stronger poles for that company in return for permission to place their own wires on the poles. The- Public Service Board took the question under advisement. American Eagle insurance Co. State- ment, The American Eagle Fire Tapnrenes Co., which was incorporated in August, 1915, as successor to the Fidelity Under- writers, has issued its first annual financial statement.

In a recent discourse. Dr. E. Sauer, Specialist. of New York City. N. Y¥., said: If you were to make an actual! blood test on all people who are ill you would prob- ably be greatiy astonished at the ex- ceedingly large number who tack iron and who are il] for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue. and therefore nothing you eat does you any g don’t get the strength out of it. food merely passes through vour system like corn through a@ mi'!l with the rollers rt that the mill ean’t grind. t of this continuous blood and ation, people become generally Nervous and all run down and ly Gevelop all sorts of conditions. j thin: another is burdened with unhealthy fat: some are so weak they can hardly walk: some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble: some can’t sleep at night. others are sleepy and tired all day: some fussy and ir- ritable: some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance. In such cases it is worse than foolish- ness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your faggzing vital powers for tke moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on. No matter what anyone tells you, if you are not strong and well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far vou can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordi- nary nuxated iron three times per day Then test for yourself I have seen who after meals for two weeks. Ama atrength again and see how much you have gained. dozens of nervous run-down people ve ailing alt the time double and even’ triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of their symptome of dys- pepsia. liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by per form, and this cases been doc- is also a great nerve strengthener and the best blood- bullder in the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron like tip-ture of iron, iron acetate, etec.. often ruined people’s teeth, upset their stom- achs and were not assimilated, amd for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discav- ery of the newer forms of organic iron all this has been oyercome. Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and i do—if it were not for the gulf that the sum of $3 interposes batween $2 and $5— with Mme. Marguerite Beriza, formeriy of the Opera Comique in Paris and tlie Chicago Grand Opera Company, who oc- cupied the title role in a performance of Massenet’s “Thais,” last night at the Odeon. Suffice it to say, then, her portrayal of the part revealed the interesting infor- fmation that in olden Alexandria the piece de resistance among the “proper- ties’’ of infatuation employed by the si. rens of the time was the familiar union suit of today. Having determined, with the example of Mary Garden before her, that the role demanded svinething dread- tully risque, Mme. Beriza, with a flour- ish, resolutely flung back ner cloak and disclosed herself as a living version of the underwear advertisements which abound in our best publications. A rin- Fle of laughter ran across the audience. and many agreed that the most shock- ing thing about the revelation was thé attempt to sing high C which acconmpa- nied it. _Athanael Greatly Shocked. It is true that the effect upon the saintly Athanael was tremendous, for after one glance he toppled over is if dead. But if this was plausible in an in- experienced monk who had been im- mured for a long time in -the-desert.- it Was nat so convincing as a Sample cf the weapons with which Thais tempted that practiced connoisseur, Nicias, to sell his vineyards and, more than all; write three books of elegies, to buy one week of her love. Mme. Beriza’s acting, earnestly es- sayed, was more effective than her sing- ing, though never able to thrill. She is considered a handsome prima donna: strangely enough she was almost wholly unalluring in the first act, as the darling actress of Alexandria and priestess of Venus, but was far more attractive in her penitent’s garb of the second and third acts. : A misadventure at the end of the opera succeeded in turning tragedy into com- edy. It was not to be expected of an actress of Mme. Beriza’s experience that she would ‘‘die’’ at just the place on the stage where the curtain would de- scend; but this she did. As a conse- quence, she was obliged frantically to resurrect herself and scramble with Athanael out in front of the curtain to avoid being crushed. Millo Picco, baritone, as Athanael, bore the burden of the performance, and zave it sich success as it obtained with his eloquent singing and stronz but re- strained acting. Stella de Mette’s voice rang out fresh and young in the too few bars of the part of the Abbess Al- bine. Director Angelini performed mar- vels with chorus and orchestra, consid- ering that this was the second perform- ance of ‘‘Thais’’ the company has ever given. The most enthusiastically received number of the evening was the famous violin solo, ‘‘Meditation,’’ played by Ar- mand Combel, concert master of the company’s orchestra. There was so much applause—some of it coming .n time to drown the last phrases—that it was repeated. Tonight's offering will be the popular double bill, “I Pagliacci,’’ and ‘‘Cay- aleria Rusticana,’’ presenting Salazar, De Mette, Enrico Aresoni, Carlotta Ce- chetti, Antola and anita faase. This afternoon a matinee of ‘Aida’ was scheduled for the city’s school children. Busy Bee Candy Bargain Friday. Our. 50c Assorted Chocolates, 25e¢ lb., to acquaint you with quality value.

S. Senator fs Taken Up in-Chicago Crim- inal Court. CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Selection. of a jury jte try William Lorimer on charges of } conspiracy growing out of the failure of the La.Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank began today .before Judge Dever in the Chicago Criminal Court. [ft is es- timated that from two to three weeks will be required to complete the panel, Lorimer attended the opening session of the trial. He said he had no fear as to the outcome. Judge Dever granted a motion of the defense that the major chargg of con- spiracy to defraud be consolidated with the minor charges of receiving deposits after the bank’s*insolvency was known and of operating a confidence game, re- sulting from alleged misrepresentation of the institution’s assets. The State made no objection to the consolidation. A motion by the prosecution that a separate trial be granted to John K. Seagraves, a director of the bank, was granted and on the State’s motion in- dictments against Charles G._ Fox, junior vice president and cashier of the bank, and John B. Devoney, president of the International Trust and Savings Bank, a subsidiary, were dismissed. Associate Was Convicted. Cc. B. Munday, who was vice president of the La Salle Street Bank at the time ithe acts alleged in the Lorimer indict- ments were said to have been commit- ted, recently was convicted of conspira- cy in connection with the failure of the institution. The indictment in June, 1914, of Lori- mer and 13 of his business associates in connection with the failure of the La Salle Street Bank. and the subsequent closing of nine other banks and trust companies controlled by the Lorimer- | Munday coterie, -ended—-Lorimer’s me- teoric career as a financier and one of the Republican dictators of IDlinois. Lorimer’s frupid rise from a Chicago newsboy to a seat in the United States Senate and his fall when his seat was declared vacant on the ground that his election had been procured by fraud and bribery, form an interesting chap- ter in the political history of Illinois. Nearly a year after Lorimer’s election to the Senate Charles A. White, a mem- ber of the Legislature, who had voted for Lorimer, made a written confession under oath that he had received a bribe for his vote and that a “‘jackpot” cor- ruption fund had been used in the ses- sion to influence legislation. Lorimer was born in Manchester, En- gland, in 1861, the Bon of a Presbyte- rian minister who emigrated with his family to this country and settled in Chicago when young Lorimer was nine years old. He sold newspapers on the streets of Chicago, drove a laundry wagon and became a street car driver before he entered politics. He served 1? years in Congress before ke was elect- ed a United States Senator, May 26, 1909. Munday Once Messenger Boy. Munday was a messenger boy and then became a telegraph operator in his home town of Litchfield, Ill. became interested in the grain business, and in 1910 came to Chicago and induced 'Lerimer to enter a bank with him. May 19, 1910, the La Salle Street Bank opened with Lorimer president and Munday vice president. The institution was denied fuli admission to the Chicago Clearing House, and for a time operated by clearing through another bank. Oct. 22, 1912, the La Salle Street Na- tional Bank Was converted into La Salle Street ‘Trust and Savings Bank, a State institution. The State bank assumed all liabilities and assets of the national, keeping the Same capital of $1,000,000 and the sam» surplus of $250,000. In the course of the next year, half a dozen smaller neighbérhood banks were organized in Chicago by Lorimer and Munday and became known as sub- sidiaries of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank. In addition to these, Munday was interested in several down- State banks. dune 12, 1914, Daniel V. Harkin, State Bank Examiner, appeared at the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank, two hours before the regular time set for-opening. Reports that the parent institution was insolvent had led to a serious run on the bank by depositors. La Salle Street Bank Closed. Harkin, after a brief examination of the bank’s affairs, closed the institution. Within a few weeks all the subsidiary banks closed. The Munday downstate banks later felt the effect of the col- lapse of the La Salle Street Trust and Savjngs Bank and they also were closed. Numerous business enterprises of Lor- imer and Munday followed the banks into insolvency. Investigation showed that the great- er proportion of the La Salle Street Trust and woavings Bank’s assets was made up of notes for loans to enter- prises in which Lorimer, Munday and Harry W, Huttig were interested. In- dictments were returned against the three and others by both Federal and State grand juries. The bulk of the State indictments were returned by whe Cook County grand jury, Oct. 21, 1912. The fourteen persons named in the indictments were alleged to ‘have! = age the Lorimer-Munday institutions nearly $2,500,000, with violations of. eae tically every banking law in the State.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—A letter pur- porting to be signed by Jean Crones, the fugitive Chicago chef who helped prepare the banquet to Archbishop Mundelein at Chicago when many of the diners were poisoned, is published today by the New York Times. The letter appears to be genuine, but its authenticity is being tnvestigated by the New York police. The communica- tion gives a detailed description of the contents of Crones’ room, and the Chicago police have been asked to verify the information it contains. The author of the letter is evidently in or near New York. He says he has bleached his hair white, that he has a job and that he is living quietly in a village near this city. Letter Received. The letter, with its imperfect gram- mar and misspelling, follows in part: “Everything I have read in the pa- pers regarding my case is either fool. ish or untrue. I declare that my story is true. In America I am since the sixth of May, 1913, and worked for three months in Castels old French | restaurant, Grand City, Staten Is-' land, as chef. After that I worked for ' 1 Jahr in New York: and after that today from the effects of having his fee: frozen three weeks ago when he slep n a bedroom with an open window and iis feet ” from under the Salita tte ma a DAPE'S DIAPEPSIN FOR INDIGESTION OR A SK UPSET STOMACH Instant Relief from Pain, Sourness, Gases, Acid Stomach, Heartburn and Dyspepsia—No Waiting! You don’t want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one— your stomach is too valuable; you mustn ’t injure it with drastic drugs. Pape’s Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its barmless- ness; its certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stom- achs. Its millions of cures in indi- gestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over. Keep this perfect stomach doctor Men’s All- in your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn’t agree with them; if what they eat lays liku lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness an: nausea; eructations of acid and undi- gested food—remember as soon us Pape’s Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a revelation to those who try it.—ADV.

Thousands upon thousands of pianos stand from one month’s end to another, silent— gathering dust upon their keys, giving not a whit of pleasure to the households in which they havea place. Do not be satisfied with a silent piano—with an instru-. ment you cannot play., sl The Pianola is a perfect piano—in appearance, in tone, in action. «It will serve those who play by hand even better, perhaps, than the piano you: . have ‘now. i: And you can play it also. The Pianola player action takes care,of the “mechanics” of music—strikes the notes. You direct it, by means of its sensitive expression controls. Every chord, every delicate tone in melod or accompaniment is made to sound exactly as you will it. i No other player instrument can give you such perfect musical satis- __ faction, however. The Pianola is the first and basically the most perfect of player-pianos. It has many essential features not found in instruments’ of any but Aeolian make. : 3 dees The Pianola is made in these models only—The Stéinway, The Steck, The Wheelock, The Stuyvesant, The Stroud end famous Weber.

Admitting that President Wilson has made mistakes, we cannot find ground for Senator Root’s sweeping criticism of his administration. | Nor can we find ground for the belief that the | Republican party would have done better and holds the promise of betterment in the future, except in Mr. Root’s assertion. Mr. Root charges that the President is late in awaking to the need of preparedness. He says he should have been prepared for the use of force when he made demands upon belligerents. Who is responsible for the inadequacy of our preparation to enforce demands on foreign na- tions or to protect our rights? If the President bad urged preparation at the beginning of the war we could not have made much progress. We could not have been prepared to defend thd coun- try and its rights against a great armed power. The Republican party had been in power con- tinuously for 16 years when Mr. Wilson took office with a Democratic Congress. Our condi- tions of unpreparedness which are denounced by Republicans are mostly of their own making. They were responsible for the inadequate army and navy and the lack of war munitions. Was the country better prepared for war under Republican administrations? Although war with Spain was long brewing, what measures of pre- paredness did the McKinley administrations adopt? Nothing but Spain’s weakness prevented a lamentable exhibition of unpreparedness. The story of our attempts to raise an army and of the unsanitary camps and wretched misman- agement of army departments resulting in the loss of many men from disease, is a biet on American history. Admitting that President Wilson erred * in- terfering in Mexico and in not making his in- terference effective for the establishment of or- derly government, Senator -Root is not justified in holding the President responsible for outrages committed on Americans by the revolutionary factions in Mexico. He does not tell the whole story whén he omits reference to the achieve- ments of the administration in allaying susp!i- cions of selfish motives and in welding together the American republics. There is reason to be- lieve that since the Huerta incident the Presi- dent’s course has been the best that could be followed. It has not at least brought upon us the interminable and bloody task of policing Mexico. It has probably resulted in less out- rage than would have been caused by an attempt with our own forces to — Mexican bandits for outrages. Senator Root talks bravely of the President’s failure to enforce his demands on offending bel- administration has gained nothing but contempt by its diplomacy is wholly unjustified. The Pres- ident has gained his ends by diplomacy. He has insisted upon certain American rights and repa- ration for their violation and the consequent loss of American lives and property. He has gained his point. Would Senator Root have preferred to gain it through force? Would he have aban- doned diplomacy before it was exhausted? We agree with Mr.- Root that it would have been a fine thing from a moral standpoint to protest against the violation of Belgium’s neutrality, but it might have put us into the war against Germany. So many things happen in the world, a protest against which, on high moral grounds, would be fine that one need not quarrel about the missing of this one opportunity to ap- peal to the conscience of the world. The Repub- lican party has never attempted to put a stop to brutal despotism, slavery or the slaughter of helpless peoples outside of our own borders. Senator Root’s talk about the tariff protection that will be needed after the war is a far-fetched plea. We are likely to get a tariff commission to adjust that problem. Besides, in view of the riot of tariff graft under Republican government and the corruption resulting therefrom, the people are not inclined to listen with patience to Re- publican promises of honest and reasonable pro- tective tariffs. The memory of the execrable “system” by which graft and corruption were rampant in Washington is too fresh in the public mind to expect much effect from Senator Root’s fine phrases about the “honesty and efficiency that have marked Republican administrations in the past” and about Republicans administering the government “‘in the interest of no section or class, but for the interest of the nation as a whole and in every part.” The tariff barons, the trust magnates and their recently dethroned bosses do not believe Mr. Root. If they did the Republican party’s pros- pects would be worse than they are. Senator Root would heve efided to his reputa- ‘T eion as an able pleader if he ball-muntionsd one good thing the Wilson administration has done. ‘He might, for instance, have acknowledged the value of thé banking and currency act. = = = —_w-_~S EIRKWOOD PROGRESSIVE.

Now that the Church Federation has decided to set a day for the Protestant churches of St. Louis to respond to the emergency appeal of the St. Louis Provident Association, we can rest as- sured that the needs of the poor under the care of the association will be met. The sum required, }$7600, ts comparatively small, these churches haying last year raised $9800 to enable. the dopted Provident Association to carry on its very neces- the statement courts of Isst State had exended . dete searches sary work. ‘The Post-Dispatch beliéves that the members of the various churches will gladly respond to ‘this appeal: There is mo other way, except through the organized charities, to care for the hundreds of destitute famiiies and thus prevent suffering. Individual help is wholly i ) Widespread | inadequate. But, it may be added, such individ- ual help, with its personal note and expression eg iy eae gos in and homen occasions. Church ‘members fully ‘understand S cmteemcenl ee ee Nee ligerents, but his manifest inference that the} St. Louisan, whether he be a church member or ro, will have an opportunity to contribute to the support of the.organized charities in general. The fund then raised will be used for the relief of des- titution, regardless of race or creed. The result should be that no worthy person need suffer actual want. A generous response will insure that result. . : eo bd VIEREOK’S INSOLENOE. George Sylvester Viereck of “Fatherland” has a curious view of the relative positions and char- acters of Germany and the United States. In his article demanding that our Government warn American citizens not to sail on the merchant, ships of belligerents he says we may eat our words and bluff, but Germary does neither. He insists that Americans must keep off all merchantmen of the enemies of the central Powers, because they may arm at sea. This is coming down to the point that the Ger- mans have striven for—keeping Americans off all enemy ships, so that she may work her will on the seas. In short, Americans must quit traveling or the sea, which is to be given over to wholesale murder. The Washington Government is not likely to take counsel of insolent traitors of the Viereck stripe. We would paraphrase Viereck’s advice. Instead of warning Americans that they sail on merchantmen of Germany’s enemies at their own risk, we should warn the central Powers that they drown American citizens in violation of interna- tional law and right at their pert). = +o? ETHICS FROM MR. THORNE’S STANDPOINT. Clifford Thorne, Railroad Commissioner of Iowa, raised a question of ethics in opposing I.. D. Brandeis’ nomination for the Supreme bench before the Eenate Committee. He charged Mr. Brandeis with professional im- propriety and a breach of faith while acting as counsel for the Interstate Commerce Commission in the matter of the railroads’ application for an increase of rates. The case was prejudiced, ac- cording to Mr. Thorne, because Mr. Brandeis ad- mitted that some roads need more revenue and opposed, not an increase in revenue, but the pro- posed manner of securing it by an unintelligent horizontal advance in freight charges. But at the Interstate Commerce Commission’s hearing on this very application Mr. Thorne ap- peared as counsel for persons with an ex-parte interest in the proceedings. He admits that the |‘cattle shippers, whom he represented at the hearing,” and others contributed $75,000 to defray the expenses of a presentation of their case. Did Mr. Thorne receive a fee from this $75,000 fund? Is not the question of ethics relating to his own appearance much more serious than the one he suggests as to Mr. Brandeis? How could Mr. Thorne act as counsel for the shippers in such a case without impairing his own ‘impar- tiality in the semi-judicial office he held in lowa? As counsel for the Interstate Commerce Com- mission it was Mr. Brandeis’ duty to emphasize all facts that might lead to a just and equitable determination of the issue before the commission. But what conception of duty prompted Mr. Thorne to appear as a violent partisan at Wash- ington on an issue with which, so far as it af- fected Iowa, he might be called to deal with equity as a railroad commissioner at Des Moines? . =~ * rr The Arizona lid is already rising when liquor for personal use is backed by the Supreme Court. = = ~~ Fr HARD COAL TRUST PUBLICITY. In conformity with its‘new policy of publicity —a very excellent policy, by the way, if the pub- licity is dependable—the Hard Coal Trust is using generous amounts of space in Eastern newspapers to tell what the miners’ demands for higher wages will mean to the consumer. In an analysis of the items entering into the $7.25 retail cost of a ton of anthracite in the New York district, it gives the cost of labor at $1.80, which is about three times as much as Dr. Nearing’s estimate of the amount.that goes to labor from the price of each ton. The wage increase of 20 per cent demanded by the miners will add $23,000,000 to the cost of production, the trust says. If this is figured on the basis of $1.80 for labor in the proceeds of each ton, then to substitute Dr. Nearing’s estimate would make a total cost of less than one-third of. $23,000,000. The operators’ earnings on each ton are said to be only 20 cents, What is Dr. Nearing’s estt- mate on that item? The Anthracite Trust is the enigma of Amert- can industry. No two investigators ever agree as to its costs and methods and all disagree with the Government, some of whose reports contra- dict othera. The only thing indisputable fs that among all the concessions the trust is forced to make from time to time, no concessions to the consumer are included. a e¢¢ ~ Where there is tax-dodging in St. Louis and Kansas City perhaps the incentive is stimulated by the fact that these two cities have to raise al- most half the State revenues. = |] rr WOMEN LOSE ON A FINE LEGAL POINT. In Illinois, where it was supposed that women had by act of the Legislature been given suffrage rights as full as could be granted by act of the Legislature, it appears that they cannot vote for delegates to national conventions os for beats ccommitteemen. ) Their privileges are limitef to ates for officers created by statute and do not tnclude votes for offices created by the Constitution. Convention delegates and party committeemen are not constitutional officers, but women can- not essist in their selection simply because dele- gates and ¢ommitteemen are not specified in the’ votes-for-women act. However, the Supreme Jus- tices add reassuringly that the Legislature would have had @ perfect right so to specify them, had it felt so disposed, so an extension of suffrage in this direction for women ought not to be dificult. Probably these positions were omitted from the | pane for-spenee act by inadvertenee. The thing ‘to do now is to supply the omission.

Former President Taft, in speaking on the question of college athietics in New York, called attention to the im- portance of instituting military training for college men. He said’ that officers were the principal need of the army to- day and that college men were excellent material from which to develop army of- ficers. Thie need, he said, was not pe- euliar to the United States, but was felt by all the great nations of the world. Even Germany, which is credited with having an almost perfect military machine, confessed the lack of officers was doing good work in. this direction, it was not turning out a sufficient num- ber of graduates for the needs of the army. Presumably Mr. Taft would favor the proposition to double the capacity of West Point and Annapolis, but he also believes that it would be a good thing for the colleges to co-operate with the Government fn this important matter by giving their students a military trai- ing. Seme of the colleges do this now, but ft is by mo means general, and the course of instruction is not as broad as it could be made. The proper method, of course, would be to have a compe- tent West Point officer assigned to each ene of its drawbacks. The former} of the colleges willing to undertake said that while West Point’ | _ useful and patriotic work, oe ee It is safe to say that the military drill would be heartily welcomed by most of the students, and it can be as- serted with positiveness that it would benefit them physically, if not mentally. It would be worth while to eliminate the slouch and stoop of the average college student, and, as the former President says, it would have the-effect of giving BEAUTY CULTURE, MRS. A.

HE fellow who coined that little T phrase, “Anything for an excuse,’ summed up the history of drink- ing: Throughout the ages men have taken drinks at funerals and christen- ings, have drunk the health of friends and the destruction of enemies, have drunk tg drown sorrow and celebrate victory; they have drunk standing, sit- ting and lying down. ‘Roman cotillon leader in the far off days used to take a drink for every letter in his sweetheart’s name. Girls with long names were awfully popular. At some banquets in England 150 years ago you'd drink a toast to your host, to his relatives and friends. Fellows witt. bad memories carried long lists of names. They used to put pieces of toast in their drinks instead of cherries. That’s where we get “Toasts.” In the old heathen religious ceremo- nies a man would pour out a libation to his gods and shortly afterward would pour sev-ral more into himself. ’ The Anglo-Saxon chiefs used to be awfully proud of their ability as scrap- pers and had books written about them-, selves. There’d be one page full of their prowess in fighting sea serpents and the next about how they could pur- ish a keg of beer. When a chief died they’d bury with him his weapons an drinking cups, the idea being to have handy what he’d want most wnen tne moment of his reawakeninz came. Fighting was both a business and a cleasure in those days, and if you meta man you didn’t know you'd take a wallop at him for luck, But if you drank with him, that was supposed to make him your friend. The loving cup was along this line. It sometimes had ra cover which the fellow on your right took off and held, This kept his sword arm busy, so you could drink in peace with a chance to beat him to the punch if he tried to start anything. The lov- ing cup was made with three handles and the host was supposed to hold two of them, so he couldn’t stab his guest as the latter was drinking. before declining an invitation to have one, That was an unconscious throw- back to the old emstom.

MEETING Welcoming Phil Ball, New Mem- ber of Circuit, Also a Part of Today’s Business. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Byron Bancroft Johnson will call the American League meeting to order at 1 o’clock today at the Hote] Waldorf. In the first place, an informal welcome must be extended to Phil Ball, the new owner of the Browns, and this may call for a more informal welcome later on. In the second place Ban Johnson said he would announce the new owners of the Cleveland club. If anyone has been found who is willing to pay the price originally asked for the Cleve- land franchise the fans would like to know his name. Aside from this, three or four mana- gers are coming to this city with the hope, which svrings eternal in the breast of every manager, that they may be able to trade somebody a ball player that they know too much about for one of whom they know !ess, but expect more. For instance, Clark Griffith has been casting covetous eyes upon Fournier of the White Sox, and might be induced to exchange Gandi? for him. Comiskey once had Gandil, but needs a first base- man now more than he did then. Also, both Comiskey and Rowland have jong desired to annex Fritz Mai- sel, and there is a rumor to the effect that they might offer Joe Jackson for him. Whether Bill Donovan would con- sider such an offer is not at all cer- tain. Hughey Jenrings will be on hand, and he, too, might be willing to make a deal if conditions were right. Whoever the owner of the Cleveland club may be, it is a cinch that somebody will try to trade him out of Chapman. onsnneentennennan * 2 Commission to Meet. President Edward G.

Kid Williams gained $50,000 in two years by whipping Johnny Coulon. Ritchie made $50,000 or more in the short time he held the title after beating Wolgast on a foul. Jim Jeffries made at least $250,000 out of his title. Jess Willard has $50,000 in cash, has paid off a mortgage on his house, paid $33,000 for contract releases, has a $47,500 match in sight and circus contracts calling for $150,000—all in less than one year of title reign. * +. © *Twould Scare Out Many. _— * the prize worth a bid, men? In any BUSINESS wouldn't the out- look lure a cash offer from anybody with a genuine chance? And therein lies the beauty about the scheme, Old Top! None but those with a REAL hope would have courage to risk such a Spartan test—and their coin! ° ‘ A> a matter of ring history very few men who have won titles have received anything considerable in the particular fight that netted them the championship. Willard received nothing but his expenses. Welsh let Ritchie take a $25,- 000 guarantee and himself ac- cepted a few hundreds, on the gamble, Kid Williams paid Johnny Coulon $1000 for signing. Johnson received $5000 for fighting Burns, who got $30,000. Wolgast thought $2500 was a lot for fighting Nelson, All these fighters had the courage of their convictions and were\ willing to accept little for the chance. Now, then, Charley White, smoke out Fred Welsh with some of the same etuff. Same Old Tricks. UNDREDS of St. Louis followers of the racing—or shall we say betting—game heaved the _ well- known sigh of relief when the hand- book men paid off bets on Monsieur second by an eyelash at New Orleans Monday. This good thing was the hot tip of the country and in St. Louis it ap- eared that every “regular” was Sewn on the live one, playing him three ways. He was backed from 15 to 1 down to about 7 to 1 by the neavy play on him, notwithstanding on his previous out he had finished over 20 lengths behind the mext last horse in the race @hat ‘he was nipped on the post, saving the day for the handbook men, seems to have been a mishap of the jockey’s judgment or in handling his mount, for he was “meant, this time.

NSTEAD of voting to settle the right of certain pugilistic title aspirants to a chance at the champion, why not let it come down to a plain bidding contest among the candidates for the goodnight wallop—or glory? For example, if Charley White, Joe\ the past, horse owners and camp followers refuse to take heed. The same old frontier stuff is being put over today just as when the slates were up. . And it is this sort of thing they ask the voters of the coun ‘try to restore to legal existence and popular favor! Until racing cleans house from end to end, the game would seem to have no claim on the favorable considera- tion of the public. The racetrack that will let a horse get away with running last one day and first the next, without adequate excuses, is just as guilty as the men who “put it across.” * * Hopelessly Divided. HILE on the subject of racing it might be mentioned that the news dispatches furnish an instance of the hopelessly divided state of public opinion regarding the racing question. Side by side in news columns, yes- terday, appeared two items. One set forth that the crowd at the New Orleans meeting Monday was the largest that had attended a meeting in that city in the history of the game there. , The other described the details of a bill introduced into the Maryland (a racing state) Legislature containing the most drastic restrictions against racing and even prohibiting the pub- lishing of racing news of any de- scription whatever or the introduc- tion of the same into the State in any form. There seems no possibility of unani- mity on the question of racing so long as it continues to try to stand nee og for betting. When it can be shown that racing can be operated sans its gambling connection the sup- porters of horse racing will be en- titled to a hearing with the country at large. Until then a certain percentage of the public will always pat the general resumption o fe “king of sports” or “spo kings” which ever libel you want to be guilty of using. W.Washburn and Murray Go Over in Net Tourney Victories Put Pair in Semi-Final Round of National Indoor Championships. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—R. Lindley Murray and Watson M. Washburn, two lawn tennis players, who have had the 4@istinction of being ranked among the top 10 of the coyntry, won their places in the semi-final round of the national indoor cham- pionship tournament yesterday on the courts of the Seventh Regiment Armory. Murray flogged the ball in his match against Dr. A. W. Waite, the Dublin University player. After the first few games he worked with all cf his meteoric pace because he had to. winning at 6—2, ; Washburn met George A. Walker Jr., a spirited youngster of the type that everlastingly gets thé ball back across the net. Somehow or other, Walker made recoveries of Wash- burn’s streaking drives. That was sufficient to stir the former Harvard star to his highest flights of volley- ing and sdriving. He performed so ably as to score the next 10 games in - row for the match, at 6—4, 6—0. . —_———-- >---- — Yale Hockey Team Wins. NEW HAVEN.

The Compton Heights quint, last years, Sunday School League title- olders, have been rumbling along through the schedule of the, Friday night division with the greatest ease, and at this writing own four victories without a defeat. It was generally thought that the Comp- tons would easily show their suprem- acy over the Wednesday champions and gain the entire league title, thus earning the right to represent the Municipal Association in an intercity post-season series. New Team for Battery A. However, the Battery A came to bat with an entirely new lineup last night ang walloped the Euclid quint, 48 to 35, showing a marked superior- ity over the team that until last night led the division. As the race now stands, the Euclids and Battery A are deadlockeg for first place with three wins and two defeats, while Commérce and the American Brakes are tied for second position with two victories and threc setbacks each. The Battery A team is mainly com- posed of former high school stars. Claude McElwee, present member of the Washington U. freshman five and former captain of the Central High quint; Fred Dover, basket let- ter-man of Soldan High; Ben Heb- berger, who guarded at Yeatman several years ago, and Marting, old- time Central High player and one of the best forwards ever turned out of the scholastic league, are the high school representatives on the team. Stewe, a former player in the Regi- mental League, completes the per- sonnel of the new title contenders.

When Date Is Changed to March 25. MAY GO WITH CIRCUS Promoters Offer Pittsburg - Heavyweight a Chance With Show. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-—-The Willard- Moran fight has been postponed until March 25. When “Doc’’ Jones telephoned from Chicago that Willard truly was ill, and must ask for a two weeks’ delay, Tex Rickard sought ou’. Moran to tell kim the fight must go over. “Frank,” said Rickard. “I’m sorry that this delay was forced on you. I know how ycu feel, and to square mat- ters, here’s my check for $2500 as a sort of balm.,”’ Moran looked Rickard squarely in the eye and replied: : “I don’t want the money, Tex, and I want to say right now that I’m going to stand by you, and see the thing through if it takes till doomsday. It’s rather a novelty to be dealing with a man as square as you. Don’t bother about me. Just have Willard in the ring on the night that best suits you, and I'll be repaid a thousand times Over.”’ “I don’t know how sick Willard really is," added Rickard. “‘He has a bad cold, that’s sure, but I do know that he was out in the Chicago parks when they said he was in bed. If he realized that he woulkin’t be in the best possi- ble condition by March 8, then I’m glad he had sense enough to ask for a post- ponement. McCracken and myself are the promoters, and if you or Willard entered the ring not at your best we would be doing a bum turn.” “Well, the €hange makes little differ- ence to me," offered Moran, “‘my night will come, Tex, and then my day. It doesn't make any difference whether it is th: first of March or the last. I’ve always dreamed that some day they’d be coming from all over the country to see me fight, and the time has arrived. Moran Awaits His Hour. “The day counts for little. Since that time I sat on the bank of the Ohio Riv- er pelting the ripples with stones, de- ciding about my future, I have pictured in my mind special trains bowling to- ward a battle ground to see Frank Mo- ran win the world’s heavyweight title. I’ve always associated that day some- how with inauguration time. I’ve never wished for a thing in my life that I didn’t get. But, Tex. you can’t wish and SIT. You've got to wish and you ACT. I'll play my part when you get me into the ring with Willard.”’ “That reminds me, Frank.” mused Rickard, ‘Sam and .myself are going t6é organize the greatest circus that ever went under a tent. Will you jotn out with the troupe?’’ ‘“T’ll tell you what I'll do,.’”’ said Moran eagerly. “T’ll be heavyweight champion of the world when you start that show, anything from clown to boss canvas man. And I won't stop there. When I leave the ring, champion of the world, you can have first call on my services, and no matter what the others bid, I'll work for vou for less than the top bid. That : said Moran. bringing his fist down on the table with a bang. sending Mons.

De Oro has named Feb. 23, 4 and 2 as the dates when he will defend his crown for the third time sinve it reverted back to him last September, following the retirement of William Huey, who had won the hon- ors from George Moore. The match will be played at Allinger’s Academy in Philadelphia. Before the official’ announcement came from Oro it was thought that it would be payed in Cleveland.

Cassignol also states that he wanted his first match with Hoppe to be ing more than a eng? gg my with no title at stake. After that he says he would be glad to tackle the “‘King” in a match for the championship. Cassignol is far different from : While illie has never smoked in his life, the Frenchman smokes cigarettes constantly.

M. C. A. is to. be located on Lindel! poulevard within a stone’s throw of St. Francis Xavier’s, Elks Club and the St. Louis Club. Whether this is a menace in fact, we leave to the reader and to those societies. We merely suggest the thought that it is at least ‘had taste’ en the part of those responsibije for ne- sro uplift and improvement to seek a site in the midst of the most exclusive white society, and society organizations. ti is this strange and apparently per- verted desire to thrust themselves In where least welcome, and where most unwelcome, and where most unjusti- fed by any natural reason of choice, to which we call attention.” Frank L. Williams, principal of Sum- ner High School (colored), who is chair- man of the Executive Committee of the negro Y. M. C. A. when seen about the matter, stated to a Post-Dispatcn reporter that his organfzation is propos- ing no. such move, and never intended to build in such a section. “He said they intended to erect a building in a section inhabited by negroes, thereby bringing the Y. M. C. A. to ~°e race, instead of making them go to it. Felix Lawrence of 3939A Kennerly ave- nue, president of the United Welfare Association, when asked by the reporter his authority for the statement, said he had heard C. M. McDonald of the C. M. McDonald Real Estate Co. and Gerald O'Reilly, a realty dealer at | Eighth and Chestnut streets, say that ' they had heard of the negroes intending . to erect their building in the vicinity of the St. L-uis Club. Both O’Reilly and McDonald, the last named acting president of the Real Es- tate Exchange, were asked who told them of such a move, and both replied that they had heard it “on the street,”’ @ * treat it was ‘‘common talk."’ -Pbilmon inal efteteteeeee eee ‘= padway, cor.

Dr. M. J. Bonn, professor of economics at the University of Munich, Germany, spoke on “Practical Socialism in Ger- many During the War” last night at the Central High School, under the auspices of the Germanistic Society of St. Louis. Dr. Bonn said that the present state of affairs in Germany might be called Government in relation to business is supplementary to private initiative, but does not dispense with it. “To begin with, the Government be- comes the greatest employer of labor. It is, economically speaking, the task- master of the army,’ he said. “It pays the wakes that cater for the soldiers’ wants; it pays subsidies to their fami- lies and dispenses pensions. As far as the army is concerned, a huge central- ized and socialized system of buying and spending takes place, in so much as millions of people who formerly be- longed ‘to separate mdividual house- holds are ‘socialized into one huge body.” Moratorium in Vogue, However, Germany, despite its so- called semi-socialistic form of present Government administration, was the only warring country which refrained from passing the very socialistic meas- ure, the moratorium, he explained; debtors were supposed to fulfill their obligations, but creditors were supposed to be wise and considerate. “A centralized board was created to buy provisions for the army,” he con- tinued. - ‘All materials like leather, cop- per and wool, in which a shortage might be detrimental to the result of the war, were reserved for the army. Special boards were created for the various ar- ticles, each board’s members being ex- perts from the tra¢c3.”’ In explaining the’ meat and ' bread regulations, he said: ‘‘What the Ger- man Government did was a very far- going intervention with the consump- tion of the people, but it was only a kind of semi-socialism. The Govern- ment did not feed the people. They had to pay for their own rations, but the Government fixed the prices which they would have to invest, and the Government fixed the proportion which exch individual was allowed to con- sume. Competition between the rich and the poor was eliminated in so far as the rich could not outbid the poorer any longer. Left to the Producer. “The Government did not go in for the production of the commodities used. It had to leave that to the producer and the great difficulty was to fix the price in such a way as to make an in- crease in production profitable to the producer, while protecting the con- sumer as far as possible. The Gov- ernment did not take the place of the producer, but merely tried to co- ordinate in the interest of producer and consumer. The so-called blockade deprived Germany of many raw ma- terials. Co-operation by the Govern- ment, science and industry made good the loss.” PERMIT GRANTED FOR THREE APARTMENT TO COST $75,000 Three apartment houses, to cost about $76,000, will be erected on ‘the north side of Berlin avenue, between Union boule- rd and — avenue on grounds pur- chased by E.

One can't talk when those card fiends are playing, but our being asked to join will drive Mrs. Hangle crazy. — “If the poor woman’s life and sanity are at stake in this matter, let us stand aside,’ said Mr. Jarr. “Now, you just never mind other peo- ple!” snapped Mrs. Jarr. “Ob, all ‘right, all right,” said Mr. Jarr. “lead me to the sacrifice!” _/ “Remember,” said Mrs. Jarr, “they ' gre all excellent players at Mrs. Stry- vers, and if you don’t play good whist we can't be expected to be taken in.” “Lead on!” cried Mr. Jarr dramati- cally. ‘Let me get to it!’’ “Now, don’t you go about with your barroom expressions and manners!” That night Mrs. Jarr, dressed in her best and nerved for the ordeal, and Mr. Jarr, not at all overawed, sat in as the couple on trial.

He drew Mrs. Stryver in the trying out for his partner. “You play splendidly,” said that lady, beaming; “‘we seem to understand each other’s play right from the start.” “Did you ever play skat? asked Mr. Jarr. “There's a game for you! Why, at Gus’ sal’—— Here Mrs. Jarr dug her heel onto Mr. Jarr’s corn in alarm and warning. “At the club,” continued _Mr. Jarr, blandly, “we often play skat. This is like tit-tat-toe compared to skat.”’ Mrs. Stryver tossed her head and re- marked: “You didn’t notice I led from the ten-ace and it would have been bet- ter if you hadn’t finessed the queen. We lost a trick.” “Oh, pshaw,” eaid Mr. Jarr. ‘*This its only a common sense game.

He got ‘up, came back, picked up his cards with- out looking at them and led, as he said, “from his thumb.” Then he kept his eyes on his cards, passed unheeded his .partner returning his lead, but struck out with another suit. “Just as I tell you, it’s all tn the hand, and playing it common sensibly,” = Jarr. ‘You see, I had a good | | MUTT and JEFF—Jeff’ S opvright. r rk (| 'T SANS HERE THAT A PROLONGED CASE oF GRIP OFTEN TURNS (ACTS PNEUMONIA PROVING PATAL Jerr YOUVE HAD THAT Case OF THE GRie FOR Two WEEKS, YOU OUGHT T DO SOME THIS. ; TT ern nik Tart rT; ‘ * oe ad Ce WHAT ARE YoU DOING?
