Plan of Bondholders Will Be in Opposition to That of Stockholders Filed by Festus J. Wade Yesterday. ERR Modified Proposal of St. Louisan Has Four Stock- ‘holders Instead of Two on Voting Trust of Seven. The Public Service Commission at Jef- ferson City today, according to a dis- patch to the Post-Dispatch, received a communication from Speyer & Co. and Sellgman & Co., the New York banking houses interested in the Frisco reor- eanization, in which the motion for a rehearing of the bankers’ reorganization plan was withdrawn. The communica- tion stated that a new plan would be submitted immediately. A modified plan for the reorganiza- tion of the Frisco was presented to the commission yesterday by Festus J. Wade of St. Louis, president of the Mer- cantile Trust Co. After hearing today from the New York bankers, some mem- bers of the commission thought that possibly the Wade plan was ‘the new plan to which the bankers referred. Wade told a reportcr today, how- ever, that his plan had no connection with that of the Speyer and Seliginan interests. They repiesented the bond- holders, he said, while nie represents stockholders. Te Have Twe Plans. This means that the commission will soon have two plans before it—the new plan of the Spever-Seligman group of bankers, representing bondholders’ in- terests, and the Wale plar, in beralf of stockholders. The first plan submitted was that of the New York bunl« rs, and the ccinmis- sion, before approving this plan, mended it m so many particulars that it was nc longer acceptable to its authors. The motion for a rehearing followed, and this motion has now been withdrawn. Wade's plan provides for a voting trust of seven trustees, four of whom shall. represent the stockholders. The bankers’ plan allowed the stockholders only two representatives, to five for the bond holders. Wade's plan also permits the trustees to be parties to any con- tract made with the road, exactly as ‘f they were not trustees. It is provided, in the Wade plan, that vacancies in the voting trust shall be filled in two different ways. If the _ trusteeship of James Speyer or Freder- ick Strauss, the latter representing Se- ligman & Co., becomes vacant, a suc- cessor is to be chosen by his banking firm. If any other vacancy occurs, it shall be filled by a two-thirds vote of the trustees. As the number would in that case be six, the four representatives of the stockholders would constitute the two-thirds necessary to fill the vacancy. Changes in Proposed Trustees. The voting trust proposed in the Wade plan ecnsists of Speyer, Strauss, Freder- ick W. Allen, Charles H. Sabin, Eugene V. R. Thayer, James W. Lusk and Wade. This is the same as the trust proposed by the New York bankers, ex- cept for two names. The bankers’ list includes the names of Seward Prosser and George W. Davidson, and the Wade plan substitutes Thayer, a member of the Stockholders’ Committee, and Lusk, one of the present receivers, for Prosser and Davidson. Yoakum’s Attorneys File’ Brief At- tacking Original Frisco Pian. RSON CITY, Feb. 19.—Attor- dneys for B. F.

The City Attorney has ruled.that the city must pay Charles Hatfield that sum for filling the Morena dam. Hatfield is a rainmaker. He went to San Diego some weeks ago. J notice you don’t have much of an average rainfall here, he said. I'd like to make rain for you.“ Fill Morena dam,“ said the Council- men, and they all laughed. Morena dam had never been more than a third, filled. “All right,” said Hatfield, for 310,000. Still laughing, they agreed. Hatfield erected his tower near the dam, put his galvanized iron tanks on top of them, wrapped the tanks with tar paper and poured in his chemical fluid. Rain soon followed. “Hatfield isn’t doing it, the Council- men said. Everybody's getting rain these days. But the downpour con- tinued and the flood followed. What his chemicals are, he has never revealed. The tar paper, collecting heat, causes the liquid to evaporate in the day time, and at night he applies enough heat to produce the same result. As- cending columns of vapor trom the tanks have. the power, he says, to attract moisture to the dryest spot. SPRINGFIELD (Mo.) RIDES IN JITNEYS; CAR MEN ON STRIKE Ninety Men Go Out at Midnight and Two Remain on Duty; Un‘onism and Arbitration Is Dispute. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 19.—Spring- field depended on jitney autos for trans- portation today as 90 motormen and con- ductors empioyed by the Traction com- pany walked out at midnight last night. Only two failed to strike. Failure of Manager A. F. Van Deinse to sign an agreement recognizing a newly organ- ized union end providing for arbitration of disputes caused the trouble. Neither wages nor hours are mentioned in the contract, which was to run for one vear. The company made no effort to start cars in the morning but 150 licensed jit neys were in operation. In spite of this 3000 mer employed by the Frisco nearly a mile from the city, had to walk 0 work. Carmen on bicycles and motor cycles are picketing the various lines. OBJECTS TO HER HUSBAND'S PROFESSION; GETS A DIVORCE Chicago... , Woman sam Tells Court She Found “Steckyards” Man Was Professional Beggar. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Because she ob- jected to her husband's profession Mrs. Mary Mack Powley has been granted a divorce. The decree was signed yester- day by Judge Kersten. Mrs. Powley told the court that her husband, Clyde Thackery Powley, was a swell dresser.“ He told her he worked for himself at the stockyards and she concluded he was a livestock broker, she said. Less than a month after her marriage in 1918 she went to visit a friend on the South Side. „There I saw him, she told the court, “standing on a corner with his hat in his hand. He was a professional beggar.”’ GERMANY SAID TO BE BUILDING A NON-SINKABLE DREADNOUGHT Rome Newspaper Says It Will Have Three Hulis Filled With Secret Composition. ROME, Feb. 19.—The Revista Mari- tima states that Germany is building an „unsinkable dreadnought.”’ The war craft has three hulls; an exterior compartment 20 millimeters thick (about 79 inches), a middle com- partment of 100 millimeters (about 39 inches), and an interior of 120 millime- ters (about 41 inches). Each will be filled with a secret com- position which will prevent any pro- jectile piercing the triple hull, it is said. AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS OPEN OFFICES IN BUENOS AIRES Plan, Which Will Be Extended, Was Approved at Recent Pan-Ameri- ean Scientific Congress.

Amid Laughter to Fin} NO FUTURE LOANS TO ENTENTE ALLIES WITHOUT SECURITY * Bankers Demand American Col- lateral Until Public Absorbs First Loan. MORGAN GIVES , NOTICE Says Financiers. Would Take European-Held Américan Stocks or Bonds. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—J. P. Morgan is in Europe to tell the British Govern- ment and British bankers that Ameri- can bankers stand ready to take the of- ferings of European-held Americans, but would not participate in another loan or credit to England or France— unless the loan were made with Ameri- can securities as collateral—until the $500,000,000 Anglo-French loafi was ab- sorbed by the investment public. That is the gist of information offi- olally given out by J. P. Morgan & Co. today. This information carried the explana- tion that the time of assimilation cf tine $500,000,000 ioan has not only not yet ar- rived, but is not clearly in sight: Made a Stipulation. It was a stipulation of that bargain. it was explained, that no new loan should be negotiated here until the American bankers undertaking the biz loan were willing to have more féreigh securities placed on the American mar- ket. It was further «xplained that not all the money realized by France and En- gland on the $500,000,000 loan had been taken. as was reported in cablegrams from London, for England to place large blocks of Atnerican securities in this market precipitately. With this ex- planation went the explicit statement that, while the stock market might be disinclined to absorb great offerings of American stocks, only 2 per cent of the securities received by J. P. Morgan & Co. from England in recent months have consisted of stocks. The bonds have been taken readily for middlemen have had little trouble in disposing of them to financial insti. tutions and private investors. The French have few Americar stocks left, it was added. The British have no large amount likely to come on the New York market. The remainins bonds the British may send as soon as they like, for the bonds placed deepest in the strong boxes are considered the best bonds of all. As an earnest of this proposition, J. P. Morgan & Co. announced that, acting for the British Government, they had sold to the United States Steel Corpora- tion $22,800,000 first collateral trust mort- gage bonds of the Steel corporation. The bonds were those given by Andrew „Carnegie to the so-called Scottish Foun- dation Fund. The steel corporation réported on Jan. 27 that it had $105,000,000 cash in bank. It will thus hot need to perform any new financing for this acquisition. Sir George Wrong. Without exception, bankers disagreed with the complaint of Sir George Paisn of the London Statist that Germany had been unloading securities in this country and getting its pay through shipments of gold and commodities from this coun- try to Hollard. In one of the big down- town institutions in which Ambassador von Lernstorff and Fiscal Agent Hein- rich F. Albert had their largest deposits, it was said that the Deutsche Bank, cor- respondent of these institutions, had notified Germans to dispose of their Americans even before the war started. These German holdings of Americans, according to both the Deutsche Bank and the representatives of New York’s German depositaries, were closed out before the war was many weeks old. But not all of them were sold in this coun- try. Many were sold in Holland, and it is these Americans which have come over from Europe with the German ear- mark on them. So it is the contention of Bissevain & Co., and other New York houses with Dutch connections, that these American securities bearing the German stamp, but coming from Holland, are really for Dutch rather than German account. b. 8. AGAIN TAKES NOTICE OF MASSACRE OF ARMENIANS Authorizes Ambassador Maigenthan to Call Subject to Turkey’s Atten- tien Unofficially. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Secretary Lansing announced today that he had authorized the American embassy at Constantinople to call attention to the Turkish Government to the mas- sacre of Arnrenians. The dispatch was one of a series sent to the embassy on the subject and was of unofficial character, the position being taken that the United States could not take official action in a matter involving the treatment by a Government of its own nation- ala, and could only take cognizance of the situation on the grounds of justice and humanity. Information of an official nature, however, hag been filed with the State Department, from time to time, alleging persecution of Armenlans by Turkish officials. : Therefore it was not necessary.’ "TMARIAN LAMBERT KILLED BY CYANIDE, CHEMIST REPORTS Theory That She Was Poisoned by Mixture of. Chemicals Disproved by Finding. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Cyanide of po- tassium was the poison which killed Marian Frances Lambert, Lake For- est high school girl, according to a report made to the Coroner today by Dr. Ralph C. Webster. The digestive organs, Br. said, showgd no trace of an admix- ture of chemicals. The white crys- tals found under the finger nails. of the girl were originally cyanide of potassium, he said. The report is to be read Monday at the inquest. Dr. Webster in analyzing crystals of cyanide and other poisons found in an ashpit at_the greenhouse at the home of Will H. Orpet, who is charged with the murder of Miss Lambert. The contention of the State is that Orpet, who was a former admirer of Miss Lambert, made a secret tryst with her in the woods where her body afterward was found and did not leave her until after she was dead. BRITISH OWNERS BEGIN SUIT TO RECOVER STEAMER APPAM Vessel Held at Newport News as German Prize Seized Under Fed- eral Court Writ. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Attorney- for the British owners of the liner Appam, in Hampton Roads as a prize of a German crew, have brought an Ad- miralty proceeding under the prize lav's to regain possession of the ship. The State Department holds that under the Prussian-Anrefican treaty the liner belongs to Germany as a prize, 1t least until a prize court passed on the legality of her capture. The British Embassy has contended the ship should Be returned to her owners under a pro- vision of The Hague Convention. Collector Hamilton at Newport re- ported to the Treasury Department that about thirty deputies went from Nor- folk on a tug to serve the writ in the case. v. S. PROBABLY WILL DECLINE FRENCH ORDER FOR BLANK COINS Might Prove te Be Contraband if Purchaser Chose to Convert Métal Into Munitions. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.—Rathe- than risk the possibility of being ac- cused of shipping contraband, Uncle Sam may decline to honor requests from Europe for work to be done in the Phil- adelphia mint. It developed today that the French | Minister of Finance recently asked the Treasury Department whether this Gov- ernment would mint 2,000,000 25-centime pieces. The order was for nickel pblanks,“ that were to be stamped after reaching France. The metal was tc be bought in this country, on ac- count of the scarcity abroad. Alan Joyce, superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint, hinted today that the Government probably would decline the order, on the ground that, while the „blanks' might be intended for coins, there was nothing ‘to prevent their heing converted into munitions in Eu rope. “CAP” TROLL FURNISHES $800 BOND FOR WOMAN AT | A.

CHOUTEAU'S DEALS WiLL BE TOLD TA THE GRAND JURY — Lawyers Advise Clients to Tell About Transactions With Young Broker. IS ON HIS HONEYMOON Estate Attorney Says Late F. B. York Paid $5000 for Bonds of No Value. Charles_H. Williams and his wife, of 1908 North Grand avenue, advised by Cauley, have been C. J. Me to go before the grand jury next their attorney, 4 week and tell of their dealings with Henri Chouteau, the young broker and promoter, who is on a honeymoon trip at present. Walter R. Mayne, a law- with offices in the Third Nationa, Bank Building, told a Post-Dispatch re- porter this morning that he has ar- ranged to go before the grand jury ane tell of Chouteau's dealings with hi: personally, and has advised a woman client .with a claim for $1000 against Chouteau to testify regarding the trans- action. Benjamin Charles, attorney for the Francis B. York estate, said. that he would not join in any grand jury in- vestigation,, but said that in settlin,z the affairs of the estate he had found that Chouteau had sold York $5000 in bonds of a Texas company, which he finds have no value. ? Parchase Kept Secret. Charles said that he presumed York had bought the bonds to help young Chouteau along and that none of the members of the York family have any personal knowledge of the transaction. According to Attorney McCauley, the Williams claim against Chouteau is that he secured money from them upon the promise of delivering a bond that did not exist. The attorney said that Mr. and Mrs. Willlams met Chouteau through a salesman who sold them bakery goods. Through Chouteau they first purchased a $500 bond of the city of Oklahoma. Later, they allege, Chou- teau told them that this security was not zood, and induced them to give him the bond upon.a promise to give them a bond of $500 of the Northeastern Elec- tric Co. of Texas. — Mrs. Williams alleges, according to the lawyer, that Chouteau finally told hér that there were no $500 bonds issued by the company and obtained from her $20) in cash and some stock in other con- cerns upon promise to give her a $1000 bond in the Northeastern Electric Co. of Texas. This agreement is said to have been made in July last. No bond was deliv- ered by Chouteau until Mr. and Mrs. Williams engaged McCauley as their at- torney. He made a demand for the de- livery of the bond and states that Chou- ‘teau finally sent him Bond No. 1 of the Northeastern Electric Co. of Texas and that the bond was unsigned. Woman Invested Savings. McCauley also represents Mrs. Mary Myricks, a widow living in the county, who is a friend of Mrs. Williams and who invested all of her savings, amount- ing to $1000, in a bond of the North- eastern Electric company of Texas, at the suggestion of Chouteau. George C. Mackay, an attorney rep- resenting Mrs. Margaret Milford,’ who invested $35,000 in companies promoted by Chouteau, and other investors with claims totaling more than $60,000 against concerns promted by Chouteau, said that he would consult with the Circuit Attorney Monday regarding the appear- ance of witnesses before the grand jury the next day.

PEKIN, China, Feb. view with the correspondent of the As- the palace today, Ig. — In an inter- sociated Press at President Yuan Shi-Kai minimized the importance of the rebellion now in prog- ress and expressed confidence of the ability of the Government to suppres: the uprising when adequate troops reach the upper Yang-Tse-Kiang. Vice Admiral Tsai Ting Zan, coniidentic: secretary of Yuan-Shai-Kai,. acted as interpreter. ) ‘This is only a “put it it in- no vampaign, but skirmish,’’ said Yuan-Shi-Kai, gives me so much work that creases my appetite.’’ The President repuled laughingly to «a remark regarding his excellent physical condition and good spirits, refuting ru mors of his. ill health. Discussing his enthronement, he said: „Although a date in February ws sanctioned, the erithronement could not take place before the Yunnafh rebellion, which necessitated military operations. Therefore, it was decided, with sad- dened hearts, to postpone it.“ The President said the drafting of « new Constitution would begin within a few days. When finished, the constitu- tion will go oefore a national cunver- tion for suggestions. He did not predict the date of promulgation of the co>s‘i- tution. Discussing its nature, he said: We shall adopt from all countries the provisions best suited to China, without leaning toward any foreign eon- stitution.“ Yuan Shi Kai had this to say regard ing recognition of the monarchy: “T cannot tell what Governments will or will not delay. Each, will recognize the monarchy according to .circum- stances.’ Regarding China's position as effected by the war, the President said: | “China has made every effort to main-} tuin strict neutrality. The Chinese? Government is not aware that the en- tente Powers or the other belligerents have made any substantial charges against us for not having ~ donéWso.. China will remain on friendly terms with all the treaty Powers.” Yuan Shi Kal then reverted to the in- surrection. “Yuannan and Kweéichow have few troops and little ammunition, he said. ‘“‘How soon the rebellion would be crushed depends ypon the roads and the rapidity of. communication, Tou. must remember that it was easy for the rebels to make a short dash into chuen, whereas the Gevernment . traope must make a difficult; trip to reach the rebels.

Birth Control Calls Court’s Ac- tion a Triumph.“ By Leased Wire From the New York Rurean of the Post-Dispate’ NEW YORK, Feb. 19.— Mrs., Margaret Sanger, editor of the Woman Rebel, and author of pamphiets on family Umita- tion, is not to be tried by the United States Government on the indictment found against her in August, 1914, for sending information avout birth control through the mails. Assistant Federal Attorney Content has sustained dismissal of, the, indictment by Judge Dayton, to the surprise of Mrg. Sanger, who had insistently de- manded opportunity to vindicate her- self and her cause in open court. It has long been known that the au- thorities, believing Mrs. Sanger was try- ing to appear as a martyr,. were not at xious to place her on trial if they eculd induce her to offend no more, Content presented a memorandus signed by Distriet Attorney Marshall, vhich stated that Mrs. Sanger was not a disorderly person, and while the Gov- ernment believed the magazine article in question unmailabie, there was a rea- sonable doubt. Besides, for two years she had made no attempt to repeat the aulieged offense, | “We were .determined .that Mrs. San- ger should not be a martyr if we coukl help it,” Content said. We have treat- Led her with the utmost consideration. We took into account the fact that she bad never been jn the business of cir- culating obscene matter for profit, and that her nervous._condit#ion made a jury trial inadvisable. „Even when’ Mrs. Sanger. went away while her trial was pending we made no attempt to put her under bail. In’ spite of the outcry ‘made every time her trial was post poned. every postponement but the jagt two were at her request. “The last time Mrs. Sanger éame to court, accompanied by Mrs. J. Sergeant Cram and Mrs: Rose Pastor Stokes and protested because her trial was post- poned, she knew as well a8 I did that thé “case was not going on and she didn’t fave a single witness in court.“ Mrs. Sanger, informed by telenhone that the proceedings had been dropped. called the outcome “a ane, tri- a 4 2 ay Hever Rong Shows Surpipa, BOSTON. geb. 49.—Gains in all de- partments shown in ‘the report of the New Tork, ‘New Haven &.

This meant, then, that with the enemy forces already on the ground and with those due to arrivé shortly’ the Germans would have approximately five and a half -corpa) against a shade over one Russian unit to defend this spot in the line. It was clear, then, from this moment that Warsaw was lost, but the realiza- tion of this fact brought neither panic nor excitement. The Russian commander knew: his troops and his army and made his platis quietly and without excite- ment. ‘ / Line Closes In on Warsaw. Before Warsaw ‘there now stood only three corps. It Was clear that to weak- en that front meant the certainty of a break in the line, and it ‘was equally obvious that unless the force south of Warsaw was supported promptly it would be driven back and the line from Warsaw to the rear menaced by the enemy. Every one in Warsaw 4 for months had deen speculating as to how the huge army standing before the city would get out in case of the giving ur -of Warsaw had always imagined that the main body of the army would pass through the city. We had pictured scenes of confusion with bridges over- loaded and chaos and panic everywhere. Nothing like this happened at all. thrown across the river at many points both north and south of Warsaw and very little ever passed through the town at all. When t became clear that the crossing of the Vistula by the Germans was in reality the last straw to the de- fense, the front was again extended, permitting the Thirty-fifth corps to slide cver the fiver and by jotning the Thirty- #ixth already there interpose an ob- stacle to further German advances. Sudden Advance Is Checked. The Fifth Servian Corps, which had been holding the northern end of the Une next to the Vistula near Nowageor- lewis, never came to Warsaw at all. but slipped over the river near that point, effecting a movement analagous to that being performed by the corps in the south; that is,it extricated itself from ‘Wargaw and at the same time came into the line defending the Narew, and by so doing definitely checked any further sudden advance which the Ger mans might have developed there as a by-product of the confusion of the mo- ment which they undoubtedly hoped and planned for, but which actually never came to pass. The last remaining corps, which was the Sixth European Corps, was left Head Lock Out Its Dangerous Pontoon bridges had already been saw. It, is difficult to trace the exact movements of this corps; some of it crossed on pontoons south of the town, and it is probable that the bulk of it was either in the outskirts of Warsaw or actually crossing the river by 6 o’clock that night. holding the rear g:tard outside of War- Saw marched quietly through the town between 10 o’clock and midnight with- out much excitement or chaos as far as I have been able to learn.

IMPORTANT PROBLEMS UP War Questions and New Com- mercial Treaty With Russia Still to Be Adjusted. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Response from Davig R. Francis of St. Louis as to whether he would accept the Am- bas#adorship to Russia was awaited to- day by President Wilson, who urged him to accept. „Francis, who was Secretary of the In- terior in the Cleveland administration, would succeed George T. Marye, Wh. nas announced that he will retire be- cause of ill health. The Petrograd poat is regarded as a very important one, particularily at present, because of ques- tions arising out of the war. Marye has advised the State Depart- ment that his resignation has been mailed from Petrograd. There has been no formal announcement of his reasons for leaving the diplomatic service but it is stated that his health would not per- mit him to remain in the Russian cli- mate. The United States and Russia are dis- cussing the negotiation of a new com- mercial tréaty to také the place of the one abrogated by this country severe! ears ago. And the representative there of the interests of the Teutonic allies, the American embassy is entrusted with the task of inspecting detention camps in Russia.

A bill creating a mortgage board to examine deeds of trust on real estate at a charge of $10 per deed was introduced yesterday by Alderman Kudolph at the request of a negro association. The bill is regarded as a reprisal against realty men who are active in the campaign for segregation ordinances to be voted on Feb. 29. The bill was accompanied by a letter in which practices of some real estate men were (discussed in picturesque phrases. The measure was not taken seriously by many of the Aldermen, as it would impose a $10 fee on every mort- gage approved and this would have to be paid by the mortgagor and not the realty agent.

Barnes Hospital, after 12 mnths’ ex- periments, conducted by the Washington University medical staff, has concluded “twilight sleep.“ is, thus far. the best method of safely reducing the pain of childbirth.. As a result the hospital, which is one of the largest in the Unit- ed States, is administering twilight sleep in suitable cases as part of the established practice of the institution. A Post-Dispatch reporter today learned, from an authoritative source, that more than 100 successful twilight Sleep cases have been handled by the university’s medical staff. The use of the twilight sleep’’ meth- od is determined by the judgment of the medical staff and not by the wishes of the patient. If the conclusion is reached that the treatment is best for a particular case, it is used. If the treatment is not suitable the wish of the patient for twilight sleep is not grati- fied. Members of the university staff under suitable conditions, in the homes of pa- tients. Washington University continued its experiments with twilight sleep, regard- less of the fact that the method was | condemned and abandoned as early as last March by several hospitals and by stirgeons. Those who advocate the meth- od attribute failure, where ſt has been @ failure, to unskilled doctors, lack of hospital facilities, incorrect dosage and a disinclination on the part of the doc- tors to take the trouble to administer the treatment properly. Among the hospitals which abandoned fwilight sleep were Johns Hopkins Hos- pital at Baltimore, where results were not satisfactory; the Polytechnic Med- ical School and Bellevue Hospital in New York, because of too high a per- centage of deaths among twilight sleep Chicago, after experiments with 71 cases, because the treatment was con- sidered dangerous in that the drowsi- ness might mask serious obstetrical con- ditions; and at the city hospital in St. T.ouls, after 18 cases were tried. Statement of Dr. Schwarz. A current issue of a medical journal contains a statement of results obtained at Barnes Hospital up to last March, when 14 twilight sleep cases had been tried. This statement was prepared by Dr. Otto H. Schwarz, whose father, Dr. Henry Schwarz, is professor of ob- stetries at Washington University. It Was said today at the university that the report was an accurate presentation of conditions, as they still exist, after a year’s further experiments. “The remarkable campaign in the in- terest of twilight sleep, which was start- ed about a year ago (1914), has forced obstetricians of the United States to method of relieving the pain of child- bearing as originated and practiced in the Frauenklinik of Frieburg,’’ Dr. Otto Schwarz writes, in a report to the Wash- ington University Medical Association. “The new quarters of the Depart- ment of Obstetrics in Barnes Hospital offer the chance of testing the value of twilight sleep under fair conditions: the chief of the department, therefore, requested that this work be taken up just as soon as the removal to the new quarters was accomplished. ‘In view of the conflicting reports to the safety of this method for the mother, and, more par- ticularly, for the child, it Was deemed advisable to use the identical A Ticket on the Road to Good Health One of a Series of Talks on Health by St. Louis’ Leading Druggists. By OTTO HANSER, Pharmacist. A glassful of West Baden Sprudel Water is a ticket on the road to Good Health. It is Na- ture’s own remedy for constipation. It unloads the intes- ‘tinal tract without pain, and unlike salts and pills, the amount may be do- creased until con- stipation is over- coms. More than a init lion men and wom- en have journéyed to West Baden, Ind., .during the past 30 years just to drink the health-giving water from those famous springs. They were troubled with gout, rheumatism, dia- betes, uric acid, intestinal sluggish- ness and other conditions brought about by an overabundance of food and too little exercise. These people returned home healthy and happy. West Baden Sprudel Water will give you a better grip on health. It will give you a. longer léase on life. West Baden Sprudel Water is not a medicine.

The necessary experiments were conducted in the pharmacologic labora- tories under the constant supervision of Dr. Jackson. „Scopolamin, it was found, Ras in moderately large doses practically no infivence on heart and respiration; its Wellkknown paralyzing influence on peripheral nerve endings can be demon- strated by its action on the endings of the vagi in the bronchioles and on the inhibitory terminais of thé vagi in the heart. ‘“Narcophin, like other opium al- kaloids, affects respiration in two ways, namely, by acting on the respira- tory center and by acting directly on the muscle fibers of the bronchioles producting bronchio-constriction. Influence on Respiration. „We were able to show that the influ- ence of narcophin on respiration, al- though well marked, is considerably less than that of morphin, narcotin and oth- er opium alkaloids. “From these experiments it appears evident that the use of scopolaniin for the induction of twilight sleep is com. paratively safe, but that the use of narcophin of morphin requires watching and is responsible for the ill effects on babies so often described ‘a recent literature. “This consideration is guiding us in our clinical work; the routine schedule of Siegel, which we had followed in the first cases, was discarded on account of the repeated doses of narcophin, and od of Gauss in every detall. Our clinical experience is Umited to 14 cases, 10 of which were primipare. In 11 cases the result for the mother was perfect: the remaining three cases showed considerable analgesia but am- nesia was absent or imperfect. “Of the babies, nine were in perfect condition at the moment of birth; tour showed oligopena or apnea, lasting from ene to five minutes; one child was as- phyxiated and required artificial respira- tion for five minutes. The condition of the babies was in no case alarming. “In these and other cases about ten drops of chloroform were sufficient to completely anesthetize the patient. Sco- polamin-narcophin is no contraindoca- tion for giving a general anesthetic, but the synergetic action of these drugs and the anesthétic must be taken into ac. count. „House staff and nurses have now learned to protect the patient against various disturbing influences which might rouse her from her sleep and give rise to “isles of memory“ which might inter fer with successful twilight sleep; the ears are plugged with cotton soaked in oll; the eyes are covered with a cloth: loud conversation and all un- necessary noises are avoided; in most cases a few drops of chloroform are given during the passage of. the head, for the twilight sleep is not supposed to be deep enough to cover the more acute pain at this time. Our results, so far, have been so encouraging that the department is ready to administer twi- light sleep in every suitable case pro- vided the patient does not object. “Since it takes from one and a half to two hours for the drugs to develop their full action. cases which presum- ably will terminate in a shorter time are not suitable; with this one exception—all cases active in labor, with strong con- tractions occurring every five or six minutes in which the patient suffers pain, are entitled to the comfort of twilight sleep.“ Cases in City Hospital. The same issue of the medical jour- nal contains a report on 18 twilight sleep cases Conducted at the St. Louis City Hospital by Dr. George Gelihorn and Dr. William Kerwin. Excerpts from their report follow: ‘In order to form a personal opinion. the authors selected out of a material of approximately 160 cases, 18 patients ‘on whom to test the merits of the much- discussed, “twilight sleep’ delivery.

RESOURCES FOR PERMANENT EXPOSITION A PRESENT CALL Centralization Here of the World's Reorganized and Aggressive Endeavor for Trade Revival and Control After Close of Great War Would Be Result. — — — in 1915, with its balane of 61, 772,000,000 in favor of this country, being J in wis, G as appears the $5,000,000,000 foreign trade of the United States a high-water mark in both, the domestic trade volume was more than 100 times greater, according to compilation by people regarded as qualified to speak with authority. It was only last fall that foreign shipments of goods by this country totaling $10,000,000 for a single day attracted attention as a wonderful showing. At the same time, according to the calculations quoted, the daily volume of domestic commerce was averaging approximately 81,500,000, 000. The factors taken into account in preparing the estimate of home business were bank clearings, value of manufactured and agricultural products and the volume of wholesale and retail trade. Having an established and wel! forti- fied place in domestic trade, which is being steadily. enlarged and strengtk- ened, St. Louis is applying much of her enterprise and sagacity to extension of her foreign commerce interests. The volume of her business with foreign countries is already measured in hun- cent feel that he or she is part of tic bank. Progressive Liquor Interests. To none of the hundreds of enter- prises which have contributed to the up- building of this city’s business fame does greater credit attach than to its liquor interests, nor does any respond with dreds of millions annually. The disrup- tion of business connections between the warring countries themselves and be- tween them and neutral countries means largely enhanced opportunity for the United States to dominate the world trade in future for so long a period as: the methods employed give warrant for that control. After-the-War Conditions. Just what conditions are to prevail at once following conclusion of the war is purely a matter of conjecture. Europe will, of course, be no longer in the mar- ket for war munitions, but there is likely to be in the stead of that demand a tremendous call for steel, lumber, ma- chinery and complete industrial plants, along with food supplies in greater than normal quantities for awhile. Neverthe- less, it is realized that, sooner or later, Europe must get down to a basis of rigid economy in her imports, and will be in poor position to conduct a heavy export business, at least for a few years. Therein lies ‘he opening for this country to obtain mastery of the world’s trade Whatever economies Europe must practice for years to come after her dis- astrous struggle, it need not be expect- ed that there will be economy of effort te regain her export business. Those endeavors will be world-wide and every medium and method that contains a reasonable suggestion of merit will find ready adoption. That suggests a most inviting chance for St. Louis to become the site of this centralized effort. It makes practicable what formerly was, perhaps, only possible, the establish- ment here of a real international expo- sition, where the best that each nation has to display to advantage will be cen- tered, demonstrated and otherwise made plain. It would be adopted as among the most vitalizing forces in the great and imperative work of rehabilitation. St. Louis World's Best Site. There will be no serious controversy over the eligibility of St. Louis as the heme of such an Institution as against other American centers of industry, commerce and finance. Europe is not to be considered in that respect. Whatever might develope in the direction of con- troversy could be effectively taken care of as it arose. The important point is to take up the undertaking at once, and with a spirit and purpose to ignore dis- couragements and overcome tangible obstacles. If a dozen years be consumed in arriving at compietion of the enter- prise, it would be a dozen of the finest years in the history of St. Louis. The construction from the outset would be with a view to permanence, and with this expense out of the way the immedi- ate profits for dividends would begin io result, for maintenance, extensions, etc., would be comparatively light, while attendance, under full-year provisions, might be reasonably expected to con- stantly expand. In respect to per- manence and continuous operation, such ar enterprise would be on a wholly dif- ferent and better basis than the most notable among expositions heretofore held, that in St. T.ouis in 1904. Domestic co-operation can hardly be doubted. There are in St. Louis all the essen. more promptness and liberality to calls for active aid in the promotion of the community’s advance. They are among the first with the forces of thought, en- ergy and money, and in these respects there are always found the Independent Breweries, the Schorr-Kolkschneider Brewing Co., the A. Graf Distilling Co., the Parker Distilling Co., the Hayner Distilling Co., J. Simon & Co., H. Al- brecht & Co., and the Van Dyke Bitters Co. In groceries, meats and kindréd com- modities St. Louis has a business force that counts strongly at every angle of progress and success. They have car- ried the business banner of St. Louis to the uttermost corners of this country and are steadily reaching out in the line of exports. In the forefront of these ranks -are found the Scudders- Gale Grocer Co., the Krenning-Schlapp Grocery Co., the Coast Products Co,, the Krey Packing Co., the J. C. Grant Chemical Co., with its famous baking powder product, and the David Nichol- son Grocery Co. Without exception these powerful institutions report a vol- ume of business far in advance of what, a few months ago, they would have found it easy to anticipate. Speaking for the Nicholson Grocery Co., Joseph Lyttle, vice president, stated that the tone was decidedly better than during the first several months of last year. People who could afford good things to eat and drink imagined there would be a saving during dull times in buying and using an inferior grade. This - lusion was soon dispelled and we find that our old patrone and others have found out that the best is the cheapest even if a little higher priced. The im- provement is very marked from before Christmas, and all indications are that 1916 will be one of the best in point of sales we ever had.“ Chemical Manufacturing. In chemical manufacturing St. Louis is fast assuming an importance that promises positive leadership in the not distant future. The national prominence and prosperity of the long-established concerns, recognized far and wide, is attracting similar institutions at other points to either transfer their seat of operations to this center or to open here ambitious branch establishments. Two of the corporations contributing largely to producing this effect are the Monsanto Chemical Works and the Com- mercial Acid Co. The first named man- ufactures fine and medicinal chemicals, and the latter produces sulphuric, muri- atic and nitric acids, sulphur, fertilizer and other heavy chemicals, The prod- ucts of both have a market throughout fhis country and in many directions abroad. “Our move to St. Louis is the best move we ever made, is the declaration of the Star Clothing Co., and it adds: “We are ready to pull to make this the best market in the world.” James Houchins is president of this company, which removed from Jefferson City St. Louis more than a year ago, and at once became a heavy contributor to the volume of the local clothing busi- tials to success of an international ex- position on an adequate scale. They: need only to be assembled and made u- telligently active: The display of her | own resources. varied to meet demand | of every clime and character, wou! be incalculably beneficia!. It would a: once fall in with the immediate neces- sities of the warring Powers for the gulckest possible comtnercial and in dustrial recuperation. City’s Financial Power.

Bigelow reminded the 1 City Club on last Saturday, that easure is voted on we may well con- . : 1y * * 7 5 UN- AMERICAN; UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The legal argument of Warren McGinnis, rep- resenting the United Welfare Association, in support of the pending segregation ordinance had two manifest weaknesses. The decisions of Supreme Judges from which he quoted did not touch the segregation issue and the decisions touching the segregation issue were from lower courts. The decisions of the Supreme Courts of Mis- souri, Louisiana and Pennsylvania related wholly to separate schools and railway accommodations. They did not touch the discrimination against citizens of negro blood by herding them in negro “ghettos,” nor the constitutional right to “own, enjoy and dispose of property.” Laws enforcing separate schools or cars provide equal, not identical, privileges, but do not vio- late property rights or freedom of citizens to en- joy property and to live where they will. Whether the policy is right or wrong, it does not violate the principle of legal equality. The Baltimore ordinance, about which so much has been written, has never been tested in court. The ordinance that preceded it was knocked out on the one point that it,ignored all vested rights which existed at the time of its passage. The Baltimore ordinance was amended to meet this objection and the proposed St. Louis ordinance is in accord with the amended Baltimore ordi- nance, but there is no assurance that either would stand the court test. All property rights are not included in vested rights at the time of the passage of the ordinance. .There is no ground for the opinion that a municipal legisla- ture has the power to deal with any phase of property or citizenship rights. The decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals on the Louisville segregation ordinance, as quoted by Mr. McGinnis, is directly contrary to decisions of the Supreme Courts of North Caro- Iina and Georgia, significant on account of lo- cation. Both courts declared segregation ordi- nances invalid because they violated the right to own, acquire, enjoy and dispose of property. The Georgia court quoted the opinion of the North Carolina court on this point and said this was not a right conferred by the Constitution, but was a natural right. It distinguished between cases concerning the administration of schools, the operation of cars where it had been held that race differences were a proper basis for classifica- tion and segregation laws affecting constitu- tional property right. It declared the police pow- er is limited by that right. The decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court sweepingly condemned ordinances designed to segregate white and colored persons in certain blocks or sections of cities. It held that the general authority to enact ordinances for the general welfare does not justify such an ordi- nance. The exereise of this power might result in an ordinance requiring Republicans to live on one street and Democrats on another; Protestants in one place and Catholics in another; persons of German origin in one section and those of Irish descent in another. It likened segregation to the Irish Pale, the restrictions on the Jews in Rus- sia and the Jewish Ghetto in the Middle Ages. The more the pending ordinance is examined in the others may be pensioned. In the meanwhile, these helpless fellow citizens make a special ap- peal to the sympathies of the wealthy. There is a splendid opportunity to do for the blind youths what Mrs. Culver has done for the blind girle— found a comfortable home, where they can do remunerative work and be aided to become self- supporting. A FLEET OF PARE-GOING BUSSES. President Kinsey of the Board of Public Serv- ice recommends that motor busses be pur- chased immediately to give service in Forest Park. To put the plan in effect of course the ex- isting ordinance forbidding the running of pub- lie conveyances in the park must be repealed. Both matters should have early and favorable ac- tion on the part of the Aldermen. This motor equipment will be a valuable pur- chase for the city, not only because of its own possibilities for service, but because of its use- fulness in preventing the threatened trolley en- croachment on the park. Mr. Kinsey favors a i trolley line. In fact he urges the motor busses for use only until his project for bisecting the park with tracks and lines of poles and wires can be Cunliff's experiment with busses last fall are at all dependable, the fleet of three or five park-go- ing motor vehicles will speedily show that such a surrender to the trolley interests is wholly un- necessary. The bus investment will require but $15,600 to $25,000. The much higher cost of the raiiway line is the least of its objections. * ~~ FF Deutsch-British, Hyphenated hate: Italian- Austrian. = = wre CHALLENGING POLICE EFFICIENCY. A third letter taunting the police on their in- ability to capture him has been sent by Jean Crones, the cook who is believed.to have poisoned the soup at the banquet to Archbishop Mundelein in Chicago. I. T. T. Lincoln, the alleged interna- tional spy who escaped while awaiting extradi- tion, likes also to send letters to the police telling them where they won't find him and denouncing their blundering incapacity. Doubtless the police will have the last lauga. To be much wanted, however, and impudent enough to set up a correspondence school for tne instruction of the police does seem to give to fugitives a temporary immunity rather disillu- sioning when we think of the proportion of public money that goes to support the police departinents of the country. ; di, di di * Danger allows no delay.

The latest Press Club contrivance in frenzied finance would make representative newspaper workers of the whole country, as well as local Workers, the beneficiaries of public contributions. The ostensible purpose of a so-called Mardi Gras costume ball announced for March 7 at the Coli- seum is to provide funds for “entertaining” cor- respondents who come here to the Democratic National Convention in June.

The entry of the company to this St. Louis suburb was opposed by the Electric Co. of Mis- souri, a subsidiary of the North American Trust, on the ground that it would cause “ruinous com- petition.” Naturally, the State Board was not impressed by the plea. Competition is less, desirable than regulation in dealing with utilities, but it can reduce the charges for electric current a long way below the present rate of 9 cents before it can be defined as “ruinous” in any but a utility company lexicon. i Ae „ Mackensen proved to de no Scotchman, but what .about e Marshal von Sanders? DA i EDUCATED BLIND YOUTHS NEED WORK. Mrs. M. W. Huyette, a member of the United Workers for the Blind of Missouri, calls atten- tion to the fact that, after being educated at the Missouri School for the Blind, young men are permitted to go out into the world without any provision for employment. With their terrible handicap they must go forth to compete with the thousands of youths who have eyesizht for work which is to be had—a condition which may gause them to despair. The problem of the blind in Missouri is far from a solution. In 1914 an amendment to the State Constitution that would have permitted a pension law to be passed was defeated. In the rer same year the State Legislature passed a law creating a commission, one of the objects of which was to provide for an employment bureau for the blind. Nothing seems to have come of it. At the next session of-the Legislature a com- prehensive law should be passed, making pro- vision for the crippled and the blind, so that those who can may be made self-supporting and so Mr. Schwab's statement that he has given men in his service who had brains and energy sums ranging from $600,000 to $1,000,000 out of the profits of his business naturally excites interest and approval. There will be general agreement also with his remark that ability must be rec- ognized and that men who contribute largely to the success of an enterprise should share richly in its prosperity. The American people will not overlook the fact, however, that the industry in which Mr. Schwab is engaged is and for many years has been in receipt of governmental bounty. When- ever it is proposed to withdraw even a tithe of this favor, we are told that ruin impends. If, then, the manufacture of steel and its products is so precarious a venture, how does it happen that Mr. Carnegie could distribute tens of mil- lions with a free ee among his associates and that Mr. Schwab, under conditions changed in some respects, is able to follow his example? = = % „ INDISCRIMINATE BANDITRY. We printed the news but held our peace, edi- torially, the other day when bandits boarded a limousine and compelled the wealthy occupants to take them joy-riding. But we protest at the turn bandits are taking in joy-riding at the ex- pense of the poor man. Late reports reveal the instance of a bandit gallivanting away in a gro- cery wagon at Sixteenth and Cass avenue and colliding with an automobile truck, and another instance the same evening of bandits making off with a tinker’s cart the while throwing rocks at the honest tinker, who pursued them til] his head got sore. Robin Hood, who spared the poor in favor of the rich, remains the ideal banditsfrom the hu- manitarian if not the ethical point of view—as to the latter question we are not prepared to an- swer. Who can but admire the chivalry of the local bandit who last week, upon holding up a victim and finding him empty of pocket, actual- ly gave the penniless one a coin for carfare? Need a bandit be mean about it? It would seem that the least a bandit should do would be ts show a little kindness. Bandits who would appeal to sympathy or public approval must show little discrimination and let the poor man alone, which is not only good go policy, but good business policy. letters to his home folks: ‘*Street car tracks are mainly for the con- venience of heavy wagons, especially coal wagons, 80 when a coal wagon gets stuck or comes to 4 steep hill, the driver waits for a street car to give him a boost.

WAGES OF SIN.“ From the New Tork Times. Newspaper ethics was discussed yes- terday morning at the public forum of the Park Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church by Dr. James Melvin Lee, di- rector of the department of journalism of New York University. “We may not like the use of display headlines in the newspapers,” said. Dr. Lee, “but we are not in a position to say that the papers that use them are not accomplishing as much good as the conservative papers. as with men, is largely a personal mat- ter. The newspaper should have the in- stincts of the gentleman. Gentlemen are mot exempt from wrong-doing, but they are always ready to make amends when they discover that they have done wrong. One sermon is preached by the papers ever day, and the sermon has as its text The Wages of Sin Is Publici- ty.“ One great advance in newspaper ethics had been made in the advertising depart- ment, said Dr. Lee. Papers refused to publish fraudulent advertising now, and some papers even refused to print liquor He told a story of a Chicago editor, who, upon receiving the details of the misdeeds of a prominent local clergy- man, decided not to publish the account and cause a sensation if he could per- suade the clergyman to retire quietly to a farm and stay out of the pulpit. To this the clergyman agreed, and he was now living in rural retirement, Dr. Lee said. A great problem facing the editors, Dr. Lee declared, was whether to publish | what the people wanted or what they : Ethics: with papers, | cught to have. Most papers, he said, did both.

Once, indeed, her chain snapped asund- er and there was a break for the rig- ting by officers and men until Mickey, im response to their calls, appeared on deck and led the hulking figure of the bear back to the fife rail. Here he was made to fasten her again by a chain fit. for an anchor cable, after which the skipper delivered to Mickey not only a profane lecture. but such a beat- ine as he never yet had had. An hour later the mate, Big Regan, stood though:fully watching little Mick- ey scratching the bear’s ear, the latter licking his cheek appreciatively. As Mickey came af’ again, he remarked: “Ye got a mighty powerful friend there, boy. Pity ye ain't got her mus- cle. Ye could do your own buckoing then.“ And a curious wise look came into Mickey's features. A fair westerly slant sert the schooner down southward on a good run. One night the mate stood in the cabin mark- ing out the day’s course on a chart. A small, leering face appeared beside his elbow. Gettin' in soon, sir?“ asked the boy, with a respect in strong contrast to the impish lines about his mouth. Tomorrow. about noon,“ replied Big Regan good-humoredly. Barly the next morning the skipper was on deck and paced the poop in ob- viously good humor, for ahead, and on the starboard bow loomed the sand dunes of the coast.

What's that row for’d for?“ He rushed for’d to the break of the poop, then bounded back with a yell. The big head of Sukey was on a level with the poop deck, her figure reared up on the ladder from the main deck. The next instant the skipper and the helmsman were up the mizzen rigging. Then the mate emerged from the after companionway just as he saw Sukey gain the poop with a hump and come shambling aft. One bound landed him ento the skylight, another into the lee rigging.

Take him away! “Go way, Sukey,” said Mickey, turn- ng solemniy to the bear. “Don’t ye hear what the captain says?“ Sukey opened her mouth widely, but moved not.

He com- manded the men perched up in the fore rigging to came aft and chain the bear to the rail, but they had grown unaccountably deaf. Meanwhile, Mickey had disappeared down into the cap- tain’s cabin, but emerge again with a box of the skipper’s cigars, a bottle of tam, which he emptied on deck for Sukey, and a canvas deck chair. Quietly extracting a cigar from the box, he threw himself into the chair and lit it. The captain surieked blasphemy at his best.

I al- ways say that as long as you've got your car under control you can cope with ‘almost anything, but the minute you begin to skid—good-night!” The next day (Saturday) at 2:30 the demonstration car stood outside Pop’s door.
