GERMAN TRUST CONTROLS WORLD'S COPPER, ZINC MARKETS Speaker Declares Combination Forces U. 8. te Sell Abroad at Lower Figure Than at Ho.nc. NEW YORK, March 1,—Edward N. Hurley, vice ‘chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, said yesterday, in a speech to the New York Trade Press Association, at the Advertising lub, that @ combination of German metal buyers with headquarters at Frank fort- on-the-Main and branches all over the world, controls the entire market for copper, lead, zinc and other metals. “This combination,” he added, “‘owns zinc mines in Oklahoma, «meiters in Colorado, and controls one of the great- est metal trading companies in New York City. Time and again it has - e- pressed the price of our copper and “as compelled our producers to sell copper to foreign buyers at lower than do- mestic prices. The combination hes been able to do this in spite of the fact that the United States supplies two- thirds of the world’s copper, and ought to set the prices.”’ HENRY SIEGEL ENDS TERM IN is AND 1S REARRESTED York Banker and Merchant Taken in Charge on Livingston County Warrant. . _ ? . +t ; : 7 ae ee, ly did net / . ee oe el " ee ie | * a ee n an g \ ri receive a bonus equal to | per cent of BERLIN COLO TO FORD ENVOY Peace Mission Secretary Warned to | ” ‘nua wanes of the Ford peace mission, in Monroe County Penitentiary near on ae4 sie With his attorney, Dallas C.

LONDON, March 1.~—The British steamship Thornaby, 1782 tons, is re- ported to have been sunk, all the mem- bers of the crew having been killed or drowned, While the British Admiralty regula- tions prohibit the making »sublic the circumstances of the sinking of ships, it may be that the sinking of the Thorn- aby 1s the first stroke in «he new Ger- man submarine policy of treating all armed merchantmen of the. allies as warships. This new campaign went into effect last midnight. The British steame. Malvina, 1244 tons. is reported to have been destroyed. off the Kentish coast. No méftion is made of the fate of the crew. The Thornaby was owned in Wes: Hartlepool, England.. She was built in 188S and was 258 ‘feet long. The THorna- by sailed on Jan. 19 from Stinderland, England, for Palermo, Sicily. ’ The Admiralty has made public.a list of “unarmed British vessels torpedoed and sunk by enemy submarines without warning” up to the end of 1915. It com- prises 39 steamers and one trawler. A list also was given. of neutral vea- | sels said to have been torpedocd in the Same period without warning, consisting of 13 steamers and one sailing vessel, of which two, the Gulflight and Nebraskan. were American; four Norwegian, four Swedish, one Dutch, one Danish, one Greek'‘and one Portuguese. “In addition to the above,” says the Admiralty statement, “there are several cases in which there is no reasonable doubt that the vessel was sunk “by 4 torpedo fired without warning from a submarine, but in the absence'of act proof, due to a lack of survivors’ © from other causes, these'cases are omit: ted from the’ lists.”’ ' , Twelve Big Liners in Zones of New Submarine War.

EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, Louts University Law School. The new German submarine orders, nf ee became effective last midnight, appedr practically to alter but little the line of action that Germany has pur- sued since Feb, 18, 1915. If anything, they appear to restrict submarine op- erations to a narrower field than was contemplated in the first Admiraity St. C@.@ proclamation going into effect on that date. The new orders contemplate the de- struction of all armed enemy merchant ships without recognizing any obligation to visit and search. The assurances given to the United States in the Lusi- tania case, that liners will not be sunk without warning, provided they do not offer resistance, have been reaffirmed and appear to apply particularly to the French and British passenger vessels coming to United States ports. These vessels have not been armed, however. The field of operations will be the North Sea, and the Mediterranean, where, as in the past the submarine warfare has been little more than combat whenever a merchant ship and a submarine have met, Rights of Neutrals at Sea. Since neut*si wersons have an ac- knowledged right to trav«] upon armed merchant ships, it would seem to be an elementally sound proposition that the acts of a belligerent which invade that right are an injury to the neutral state. But the safety of neutral passengers on an armed merchant ship in the past has been predicated upon the nonrosistance of that merchant ship at the approach of an enemy warship. In ‘no other cir- cumstances is the warship charged def- initely with the protection of such neu- tral. The armed ships in this war. have be- come uniformly resisting ships, if not actually attacking ships. An armed merchantman in the North Sea and the Mediterranean rarely encounters 4 subr marine that it does not immediately open fire. Under these circumstances the submarine can not be held responsi- ble for the safety of passengers, since it has the right to overcome resistancs by superior violence. That the former peaceful ship has evolved into one ever ready to initiate attack cannot be denied, though the responsibility for this condition forths the basis of the controversy between Germany and Great Britain. German Order a Reprisal. Germany, for example, coutenal that Great Britain’s action late in 1914, in declaring ali foodstuffs destined to Ger- many as contraband, was illegal, and that her submarine warfare against British merchant ships, authorized Feb. 4, 1915, was justified as a reprisal, aim- ing similarly to cut off English food supplies; that British merchant ships attacked German warships by shell fle and by ramming, making it impossible for her submarines safely to compiy with the law of visit and search; that the uniform practice of armed merchant ships is to attack submarines on sight, which conduct assimilates them to war- ships and justifies attack against them as such, | Great Britain, on the other hand, juati- fied her declaration of foodstuffs to Germany as contraband on the ground that the German Government Officially. took over the regulation of food supplies, and that foodstuffs thereby became orn- traband, since they were destined to the Government; that the German proclam.1- tion of Feb. 4, 1915 in which it was pro- pcsed to destroy all enemy ships in the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Enghsh Channel, was illegal; that Germany, in fact, destroyed merchantmen -withvut warning s0 uniformly that merchantmen were forced to use their armament in self-defense; that Germany’s illegal ac- tion has made this condition necessary and for her now to declare these ships to be auxiliary warships amounts to tuking advantage of her original wrony. which made necessary the use of arma- ment. All that we can determine definitely Na ORR EEE CERE ARLE ETAT AO EDT EIE EI EET NB TOE TOE A OEE Aa ——-— —-- - — — —————————er-_-_—-- SAVE YOUR HAIR: AZo CENT BOTTLE DANDRUFE ee ee Ce Evert bit of dandr wlisappears and hair stops comj Try this!

The three members of the County Court of St. Louis County told a Post- Dispatch reporter this afternoon that they did not intend to appoint an expert road engineer from outside St. Louis County to superintend the expenditure of the $3,000,000 voted for county roads a month ago. They said they would have the work done under the entire charge of County Highway Engineer William Elbring. The Court’s announcement brought a response from members of the Perma- nent Road and Bridge Association, which conducted the campaign for the bond issue, that that association would insist that its pre-election promise that an expert outside engineer be appointed. In the campaign the association sent out literature which contained a state- ment that the County Court had agreed to appoint an outside expert. Court Hears Arguments. The court met this afternoon to hear arguments by members of the associa- need. Before this meeting President Judge John Wiehaupt said: “I believe County Highway Engineer Elbring is competent to handle this job, and I do not intend that anybody shall be put in over him. He has been the engineer in the county for 15 years. “That the roads now are aot in good condition is not his fault, but is due to the fact that the county has not had the necessary money to spend on roads and road machinery.”’ Associate Judges William Buermann and Philip Rott, who were present at the interview, said they held the same opinion, When officers of the association learned of the Judge’s statements they recalled an agreement they had with the County Court prior to the election, and which was contained in the cam- paign literature. This agreement con- tained a recommendation that a con- sulting engineer be appointed, and set out that it would be his duty to assist in preparing specifications, drawing contracts and inspecting materials and providing methods of supervision of the work as it progressed. It was said in Clayton that if the Court did not make the appointmetn de- sired: by the association, the question would be made an issue in the next campaign, when Judges will be elected, Federal Official in Clayton. Dr. Lawrence I. Hewes of Washington, D. C., senior engineer of the United States Department of Rural Roads, is in Clayton today to appear before the Court regarding the appointment of an engineer and to assist in beginning a traffic census, on which would be deter- mined the kind of roads to be built in different parts of the county. Highway Engineer Elbring has stated that he did not consider a traffic census necessary. He said that his experience as engineer for 15 years had given him sufficient information regarding traffic. Among those who were scheduled io appear before the Court during the aft: ernoon were Harry B. Hawes and Ed- ward M. Flesh, president of the Auto- mobile Club, members of the Executive Committee of the association.

LONDON, March 1.—Lord Cecil, Min- ister of War Trade, has issued a state- ment in answer to queries whether mer chantmen have been instructed to take the offensive against submarines. It says: The British view has always been that defensively armed merchantmen must not fire on submarines or any other warships, except in self-de- fense. The Germans have twisted a passage in a document taken from a transport which they sank into mean- ing that merchant vessels have in- structions to take the offensive. This is not so. The passage in question, which lays down a maximum distance beyond which merchant ships are advised not to fire, must be read in conjunction with another passage which- makes it perfectly clear that merchant vessels must not attack until a submarine shows unmistakable hostile inten- tions. The German memorandum dealing with armed merchantment received from Berlin Feb. 10 contained the following alleged instruction to British merchant- men, said to have been taken from a British boat captured or sunk by the Germans: If a defensively armed vessel is pursued by a submarine, the master has two alternativés: (a) to open fire at long range immediately it becomes certain the submarine really is in pursuit; (b) to restrain fire until cer- tain the submarine has come into range, say 80 yards, at which the fire is likely to be effective. In view of the great difficulty of distinguishing between a friendly submarine at long range (one British submarine already has been fired at by a merchant ves- sel which erroneously supposed itself pursued by a submarine), it is strong- ly recommended that course ‘‘b’”’ should be adopted by all defensively armed ships. _- THE DAY IN CONGRESS.

VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Peost- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1916. by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, Feb. 2% via Amsterdam, March 1.—As seen from Berlin the situ- ation between America and Germany presents the picture of two nations un- willingly but helplessly drifting toward collision, with no one in sight strong enough to divert the course of either ship of state to prevent the crash. This is the feeling here generally. I have tried conscientiously to sound public opinion in every stratum, and it can be stated that 99 per cent of Ger- mans don’t want a break with the Unit- ed States, but demand the U-boat war against England, even if it brings a break with America. The faith of the public in the results of the announced submarine campaign against England has risen to an amaz- ing degree. The public appears to be banking upon that as a trump card and awaiting with impatience the beginning of the campaign. “The Government could not ::0ow change the course laid out, even if it were so in- clined,” said an official to me today. Impartially viewed, the Chancellor and President Wilson are in somewhat anal- ogous positions. The internal situa- tion and popular sentiment complicate matters here, and it is believed in Ber- lin that national politics is making President Wilson’s position extremely difficult in America. An aggressive element which is con- stantly charging the Bethmann-Holl- weg Government with lack of firmness toward America, and the political fac- tions at home who charge President Wilson with being weak, and demand a strong policy toward Germany, are, even though unintentionally, working directly into each others’ hands, increas- ing the difficulties at this end and prob- ably also in Washington. As summed up by a member of the Government: ‘““‘The consequence is that the fate of the relations of America and Germany, the question of a break or even of war, rests in the hands of the U-boat commanders and: the common sense and patriotism of Americans who, for their own safety and the good of the country, should stay off belligerent ships.’’ That all Americans will do that, how- ever, rise to a certain feeling of helplessness to avoid what a large section of the people believe is inevitable unless a so- lution is found, The discussion of the rights of Amer- is not believed, which has given ee eal i For U. S. to Enter War Would Be Crime Against , Humanity, Says Tisza BUDAPEST, Feb. 27, via Beéttin to London, Feb. B. “For the United States & take part in the European war wuld be a crime against humanity,” gaid the Hungarian Premier, Count Tisza, to a correspondent Of the Associated Press today. Count Tisza declined to discuss the relations of the central Powers with the United States, sayingthis was not the moment for, comment on this subject. : Asked for a statement conceing Hungary's economic affairs with relation to the war, the Prenier replied: “There is no use saying anyting. because I do not want to have my words misinterpreted, as is cugtom- ary when a central Power public man says anything. I must ask you to see for yourself.”’ The military situation was dis- missed by the Premier with the words: “Developments and the present situation prove the military gupe- riority of the central Powers’ troops.”’ icans to travel on belligerent ships in- variably brings out bitter comments upon “American obstinacy.” that in effect, if not in purpose, acts as a pro- tection for England. * Today the newspapers have fo news from America. Only patchwork views of what is going on in Washington are possible under the circumstances. “he text of President Wilson's letter to Senator Stone was published thig morn- ing in the Lokal Anzeiger, but prob- ably too late to efface the bad impres- sion made by the Reuter version. The embassy received the letter RY. cable yesterday evening, but it was not intended for the German Government. It appeared for the time the Govern- ment would not get an opportunity to see it, until the problem was solved by one of the American correspondents having the letter published. The general tone of the letter is so different from’ thé English version, which, as it appeared here Saturday, was very sharp and brusque and. cre- ated the bitterest fesentment in all quarters, that its effect Is guite notice- ) OIE sentence confidet tral Paw convind in the Epélish version ‘¢ letter, Would have in that véin had letter been before Bare® von Sse BERLIN, Merch 1.

At the same time, "urkish headquarters denies statements, alleged to have been disseminated by the Russians, of the capture in Erzerum of 100 guns and 80,000 prisoners. The same Turkish communication declares that Erzerum was really not a fortress but merely an open town with fortifica- tions devoid of any military value. “In view of these assertions the Rus- sian general] staff announces that the fortress of Erzerum was the only for- tified point in the interior of Asia Mi- nor, protecting Western Armenia and Anatolia and commanding all the best roads of trans-Caucasia ané the interior of Asia Minor. Works Greatly Improved. ‘‘For many years past great improve- ments have been carried out in the works by the Turks with the assistance of Germans. The terrain in front ren- dered it naturally strong, while it was covered on the flanks by mountain masses most difficult of approach, and with their passes protected by power- ful forts. “Such was the formidable barrier on the path of our offensive, with enor- mous defensive advantages on the northeast and east. “During the five days’ assault, the fortress was defended by the Turks with stubbornness, to which the enor- mous number of dead and frozen bodies gives testimony. The Caucasus army succeeded in surmounting a steep moun- tain, protected not only by frost, but by wire entanglements and other de- fenses, and assaulted the fortress after an artillery preparation... The assault on the forts and principal position last ed from Feb. 11 to Feb. 15, inclusive. “After we had taken the forts on the left flank of the principal Turkish line of defense, extending 40 versts (27 miles), the fate of the forts in the center and on the right flank, and, after them, of the second line forts and the principal defensive position was decided Feb. 16, after short attacks. These fortifications, which were full of Turkish dead, re- mained in our possession. j Men and Guns Taken, “During the assault, on the/ fortress several Turkish regiments were annihi- lated or taken prisoner with all their of- ficers. On the line forts alone we took 197 artillery pieces of various calibers, in good condition. In the defense works of the central fortress we took another 126 pieces. In the fortified region of Er- zerum we took a large number of store- houses of various kinds which have al- ready been mentioned by the headquar- ters staff. “The exact number of Turkish prison- ers is 285 officers and 12,753 men. “The Turkish prisoners captured jin Erzerum or in the pursuit complain bit- terly that their headquarters staff was concentrated in the hands of the Ger- mans, who, during the assault on the fotress, were the first to abandon their fortified positions, causing panic and dis- order among the already shaken Turk- ish troops.” KEEP LOOKING YOUNG It’s Easy —If You Know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. es The secret of keeping voung is to feel young.

Inasmuch as the resolutions have been held in the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee by main force of the administration leaders at the reques. of the President because of fears for the results if they were allowed to come out for a vote, the President’s action, taken without consultation with the leaders, caused no little amazement.

There was immediately a stif- fening of the German determination not to recede from the announced purposes of the new submarine campaign to sink without warning all armed merchant ships, despite President Wilson’s reiter- ated contention that such a practice was contrary to. the principles for which the United States had contended with Ger- many ever since the sinxing of the Lusi- tenia.

Major last June iu defense of Excise Commissioner Rumsey and in denial that the “‘lid’’ was off in St. Louis, was made public today by the Rev. Elmer T. Clark, secretary of the Legislative Committee of the Evangelical Alliance. The Rev. Mr. Clark’s action followed the report of clergymen submitted Monday to the Evangelical Alliance, in which it was declared that the lid is off and that once more vice ig general in St. Louis. Gov. Major’s letter, which censured the Rev. Dr. Clark, was written in response to a letter from the Rev. Dr. Clark, in which the clegyman assert ed that he could cite numerous _ in- Stances wherein Rumsey had “flag rantly outraged the spirit of the law as interpreted by presedent, con- strued by the courts, and made plain by the entire history of legislation in relation to the liquor traffic.” Minister Attackea Mumaey. The clergyman wrote that he persoti- ally knew that Rumsey had accepted and acted upon the advice of “‘brewerv hirelings, whose action were even then being investigated by the grand jury.” The grand jury investigation referred to was started as a result of the Post- Dispatch’s expose of forgery and fal- sifying of public records in connection with two saloon licenses issued by Rumsey. “Whatever your opinion may be,’’ the Rev. Mr. Clark wrote the Governor,”’ it is settled conviction of the moral element of St. Louis that the Rumsey administration is avowedly in favor of the saloons. In view of political history, it is difficult to understand why you, as Governor, should so suddenly change the policy of the excise office. “‘We hope for no relief as far as the present incumbent of the office (Rum- sey) is concerned, so I believe you should know that we are holding the appointing power responsible for the conduct of the office. If the revela- tions made result in the defeat of the party or any of its representatives, the blame must rest on the shoulders of the only person who has the power to avoid it.”’ Gov. Major appointed Rumsey and has sole power of his removal. Goy. Major’s Reply. Goy. Major’s letter, in reply to Rev. Dr. Clark, follows: “Tl. am surprised at you, a minister of the gospel, launching and voicing such unworthy statements. I can say person- ally that your statement is false, and you, in making same, have lowered yourself in my estimation, both as a cit- izen and as a minister. “T can say to you that your threat to carry the matter to the people of the State will not have the effect of brow- beating or coercing any one. I have an official record, made in the courts and elsewhere, upon which I am willing to stand, and am perfectly willing for any official act of mine to be submitted to the people of the State. If you know of a single saloon in St. Louis that is tilt- ing the lid, please give me the name and the same will be thoroughly investi- gated. “TIT have every confidence in Col. Rum- sey end am perfectly willing to assume the responsibility of continuing him in office.” the Minister, Dissatisfied. Rumsey was appointed Excise Com- misioner last March, and within two months the Evangelical Alliance had Grafted resolutions urging the Governor to remove him. The correspondence b»- tween Dr. Clark and the Governor was carried on as a result of this resolution. Gov. Major at that time publicly ex- pressed his approval of Rumsey's con- duct of office, and on Jan. 2, in a speech at the Planters Hotel, introduced Rumsey as “the best Excise Commis- sioner St. Louis ever had.’’ The Evangelical Alliance now is plan- ning a mass meeting of civic bodies to discuss saloon conditions.

This our U-boat warfare would stop. “Finally, as to the statesmen’'s fourth point, it may be assumed that Rumania and Greece would for reasons of ‘safety first’ wait to observe the further course of events and if a breach with Amer- ica were to be followed at once by deeds that which expired March 1, our stc- mania and Greece, soon have the proper effect.”’ Half a Million Honest People Have bought Diamonds and Watches of us on credit.

Grandmother kept her hair beau- tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appea‘- ance, this simple mixture was ap- plied with wonderful effect. By ask- ing at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur-Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this old- time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, _ for about 50 cents. This simple mix- ture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied—it’s so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, tak- ing one small strand at atime. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is mot intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis- ease.—ADV y a rn Mothers when assisted by occasional use rar v lin Ointment.

A meeting of a special committee of the Advertising Club of St. Louis to con- duct the campaign to bring to St. Louls the 1817 convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World has been called for this afternoon by C. L. Brittain, chairman of the committee. At this meeting the plan of campaign will be outlined and there will be appointed a finance committee to obtain pledges for n fund of about $50,000, to pay the expenses of the convention. The first pledge of this fund, $1000, was mide yesterday by the Post-Dispatch when the club at its weekly luncheon at the Majestic Hotel decided definitely to go after the convention. George M. Burbach, advertising manager of the Post-Dispatch, who is a member of the Advertising Club, made the announce- ment after telling of the wide advertis- ing St. Louis would receive from enter- taining the advertising men of the world. M. P. Linn, president of the club, told the members that this was indeed an encouraging start for the fund. Five Other Bidders. Brittain, as chairman of the Conven- tion Committee, told of having sent let- ters 10 several of the leading advertising clubs in the United States and of hav- ing already received 10 or 12 responses favoring St. Louis for 1917. ‘St. Louis, to get the convention, will have to win from Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Cin- cinnati and New Orleans, all of which have decided to bid for it. The decision will be made at Philadel- phia when the 1916 convention meets there in June. The convention of the Associated Ad- vertising Clubs of the World is the greatest gathering of business men ever brought together, Brittain said today. He said 10,000 advertising men attended last year’s convention in Chicago, and by wives and families. The convention briigs so many visitors for a stay of five days, he said, that only the largest cities can undertake to provide hotel ac- commodations and entertainment for them. He said he believed St. Louis would be able to surpass any other American city as host to the convention. Entertainments, Proposed. If the convention should come here, Brittain said, the sessions would be held at the Washington University buildings, which have been offered free. No defi- nite plans for entertainment have been | decided upon, but-it is proposed to have “a parade similar to the Veiled Prophet's parade and to stage in Forest Park a production rivaling the Pageant and Masque. Many members of the Associated Re- ‘tailers of St. Louis have expressed them- selves as being in favor of having the convention here, Brittain said, The’ mot- tc of the convention is ‘“‘Truth in Ad- vertising,”” and wherever the conven- tion is held the association attempts to have all the merchants display this motto by electric signs or in other original and pleasing . designs. At yesterday’s meeting Lafayette Young Jr., publisher of the Des Moines (Io.)

JOSEPH accurate in Diseribing Tables of Chance in Place. JEFFERSON. CITY, March. 1.—In afi opinion’ written by Supreme Court today reversed and re- mandec the conviction of Richard Wade, a St. Joseph gambler, because the in- formation filed by the State failed to describe with sufficient accuracy the tables on which Wade was operating his games of chance. The court holds that the evidence proved Wade was guilty of having vio- lated the anti-gambling laws but it is also held that the failure to describe the tables properly is sufficient cause for 4 new trial. In describing the equipment of the place the information used this expres- sion: “‘A certain table and gambling de- vice commonly called ‘‘a craps table. ’ Gambling experts whio.testified for the defense said the tables used in Wade's -lace were not what is commonly known as “crap tables.”’ Wale Was convicted March 2, 1914, and sentenced to four years. * Easiest Way to Save Money.

Several women living at the Berlin Hotel a few nights ago invested about $30 in “Irish point lace’ which was of- fered for sale by a workan and two girls. The woman said they were from TIre- land, that they had made the lace them- selves, and that they were selling it at a sacrifice to get money to redeem their baggage, which ‘‘some horrid customs ofiicers in New York were holding back.”” Mrs. L. L. Hall, Mrs. J. F. Al- corn, Mrs. H. White, wife of the hotel proprietor, were the principal purchasers of the lace. Mrs. Hall took her lace to a downtown store yesterday to match it, and was told it Was cotton, and was worth not more than 15 cents a yard. At another Find . Store it was appraised as low as 5 cents a yard.

By S. Sharpe. Height and reach were the potent fac- tors which won for Bobby Anderson 92f Duquoin, Ill, over Matty Smith of Ra- cine, Wis., last night in eight rounds, at the Future City Athletic Club. It was the same thing which had won for him over Smith thgpee weeks ago, ‘and he was clever enough to use his nat- ural advantages again last night. Smith put up an. earnest, aggressive contest, but boxed it somewhat differ- ently than he did the first time. Evi- dently realizing that he was unable to outbox Anderson at long range, he tried hard to get close and score by a knock- out. He tried to box his way in, rush in and fall in, but Anderson either stopped him with punches or clinched, forcing Smith tc do the same thing. At long range Smith swung very hard with both hands, but often missed by a wide margin because Anderson jabbed safely or stepped out of reach. There were times, though, when he landed, and it was only superb condition and ability to weather hard blows to his face and body that kept Anderson on his feet and enabled him to fight back. Both boys are very strong, hard hit- ters, fast with hands and feet, and game to the core. Many hard blows were ex- changed, but neither beat a retreat un- der fire. Botn were trying at all times, and it was a good contest, though hard- ly so exciting as their first one. If anything, Anderson won by a wider margin this time than before, but that is because Smith was pay- ing less attention to boxing and more to an effort for a knockout. Smith Floors Anderson. In the first round Smith sent An- derson down by a hard swing, but the Illinois boy jumped to his feet at once and was clever enough to block Smith's efforts to crowd in on After that Anderson was more ful and displayed excellent generat- ship for one who has been boxing so short a time. Many of Anderson’s points were scored by the use of a long left landed lightly to the face as he danced about. They did no particu- lar damage, but kept Smith from get- tin set or dashing in. Then, too, Anaerach often used his right to good effect by countering Smith as the lat- ter leq with his left, or when he was trying to force his way to close quarters.. Smith did not show anv visible effects of such punishment, but it usually stopped him and was disconcerting. , — Frederick Warde.

It may be noted that the club has, for a long time, carried its swimmi coach, Tom Whitakdr, and has add an athletic instructor whose sole atten- tion will be confined to training the track squad, Hutsell of the Missouri University. The club never before had an assistant to Dr. Bassett to act in this eapacity. a * a Human-Fish Marvels Commg.

Where all had been peace and quietness, the house wreckers are now at work, completing the de- molition of the many buildings made uninhabitable. There are a large number of Storv & lark Pianos and Player-Pianos in Maplewood homes; three. being in the immediate vicinity. within the radius of three hundred feet of the explosion. One, our style A Player in the home of W. C. Gordon, 2746 Limit Av., was not more than one hundred and fifty feet away. The instrument is shown in the front room and was in playing condition and had to be dug out of the debris so a photograph could be taken. The only damage done to this instrument was the marring of the case. Our style 12 walnut piano, in the home of Mr. John Milby, 7222 Sarah Av., was thrown from one end of the room to the center and was covered with fallen plaster, lath and glass. The shock of the explosion’ threw the keyboard out of align- ment. ‘The regulation of the action and cleaning up and polishing of the case will put.this instrument in first-class condition. What has surprised every piano man who has examined these instruments, is the fact that the sounding boards are in perfect condition and the instruments in good tune. It is natural to expect that an explosion that would do the damage that was done to the homes in which these instruments were located, the tearing up of floors, blowing out of roofs and the wrecking of the whole building, would shatter the Pianos beyond all hope of repair. It.is indeed evidence of the strongest kind, of the general ex- cellence of the material and construction of the Story & Clark Pianos. This is but another in- assertion, ‘‘Story & Clark Pianos and Player-Pianos are - supreme. ”’ The instruments referred to here are on exhibition in our window, 1107 Olive St. with photographs of-the views of the homes and surrounding homes - in which they were located. LE * Arrangements have been made to repair all Story & Clark Pianos and Player-Pianos in any way damaged through this explosion without expense to our customers. It is our intention to place every Story & Clark Piano in first-class condi- tion so that they may continue in the future as they have in the past to add renown to the name of Story & Clark. | — Story war Piano Co.

The people of St. Louis County are awaiting the fulfillment of the pledge of the County Court to appoint an experienced-and competent road engineer and to take counsel of Government road experts in planning and constructing the perma- nent good roads provided for by .the bond issue. The work is so great and requires so much expert attention that capable and tried special- ists are needed for its success. Without the best possible results the bond vote will retard rather than. help the good road movement. "= = --~ Fr WASTE AT THE PENITENTIARY. Two deep wells at the State prison sunk by a former management‘ have an abundant supply of excellent water, but remain unutilized. Water for penitentiary needs continues to be purchased from the Capital City Water Co., a private hydraulic ~ which local Jefferson City capitalists are inter- ested. A $25,000 grant for pumps and a tank at the wells was cut out when Gov. Major pared the ap- propriation bills, but the prison management re- ceived an attractive offer to provide this equip- ment with the privilege of paying for it in monthly installments, representing the saving effected by operating the pumps. This offer was not accepted. The water from the deep wells contains less solid matter than the Missouri River water furnished by the private hydraulic company and is much su- perior to the water of the deep well that supplies the university power plant. During 1913 and 1914 the water bills of the in- stitution averaged about $700 a month, 75 per cent of which, at least, could be saved by utilizing the wells. Why has the management inflicted on the finances of the institution an expense that for three years past has been unnecessary? The pres- ent policy is advantageous to the private water company. Why, however, is the prison not op- erated as far as possible in the interest of the taxpayers? = = i i The Supreme Court is ever ready to listen to flights of oratory on the bird law. (= = = a a STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVES. At the next session of the Legislature a law should be passed regulating the handling and storage of explosives. St. Louis has an ordinance limiting the amount that may be stored and regu- lating the method of storage and traffic in the va- rious kinds of explosives. But the State law, which was enacted as a part of the fish and game law, is inoperative, having been declared untcon- stitutional in 1914. Until the Legislature meets, Maplewood and all other incorporated cities should immediately safe- guard their citizens by the passage of ordinances modeled on that of St. Louis. The completion of the Maplewood sewer will take some time and a good deal of explosive material will have to be used. The Maplewood authorities have had a se- vere lesson. They should take immediate steps to prevent any further accidents from the use of explosives. . : —_- = we Felix Diaz is ais @ Mexican revolution tnfelix Diaz!

The Post-Dispatch did not need a special gift of prophecy to foresee the inevitable result of the threat: of congréssional leaders to interfere with and nullify the President’s efforts to pro- } with submarine warfare. Our prediction that it would embarrass the chief executive in his dealings with belligerents, weaken respect for the nation in foreign capitals and increase the risks of war is justified. The President insists that Congress vote on the reso- lution of wafning to Americans so that the ex- ecutive may know where that body stands and act accordingly. He insists upon an understand- ing and unity of action. The President’s demand is just and wise. The vote is needful not only to guide the conduct of our own Goverfiment, but to enlighten foreign governments. Misleading foreign chancellories as to the real attitude of America may lead to iatal consequences. The majority of Congress must speak out. Where does it stand? The vote will show which is the stronger with the majority—politics or the honor and vital interests of the country. St. Louis gives $1,800,000 to charity every year. St. Louis needs an efficient plan to bring the job- less man and the manless job together. a, & A. _ i. a THE McKINLEY LINE RATE. The Interstate Commerce Commission has sus- pended the McKinley line rate increase until Jyne and has reopened the case for a complete hearing. It is evident that the commission ordered the increase of rate on incomplete information. News reports state that the commission was not aware the McKinley line franchise fixed the rate at 5 cents between St. Louis and Granite City as a condition of the line’s obtaining the privilege of entering and building terminals in the city. The investigation of conditions, which is promised, may put a different face on the rate question. Without protest or representation from the city the commission heard only one side of the case. The reported astonishment of the commission at the ignorance of the St. Louis municipal author- ities and business organizations concerning the McKinley line’s petition for an increase of rate is natural. The city ought to have been apprised of the effort to change the rate. It is not the first time that matters affecting St. Louis rates have been passed upon by the commission without the knowledge of the men charged with watching the city’s interests. It would pay to have an agent to keep the city informed when questions affecting St. Louis go before the commission. It would not be a costly or laborious task. _— = TS WELCOMING HUNDREDS OF MAYORS. St. Louis will have a chance this week to show what it can do in the welcoming line. Several hundred Mayors, more or less, will be our guests Friday and Saturday—the Mayors of every big city and town in the United States, beginning with New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans and including liberal delegations of lead- ing mer from every section of the country. The Security League is as representative as a national party convention, perhaps more so, and its ob- ject is a broader one—national preparedness. St. Louis considered itself fortunate in securing this great gathering, and its importance to 5Bt. Louis as‘an advertisement is immense. It is one of the biggest tests ever put upon our hospitality and our utmost efforts must be exerted to make the result a creditable one. Our visitors must be entertained in a more or less intimate and per- sonal way, and the individuals appointed to the privilege must spare no pains towards the com- fort and pleasure of their guests. The city should put on its holiday spirit and let good fellow- ship prevail during the meeting. It is a large order, but a big opportunity for St. Louis to make a hit as host. Se — HENRY JAMES. To understand Henry James was the privilege of a few and the affectation of a few more. To the many his involved style and nearly elusive subtlety rendered him impossible. He might as well have written in an alien tongue to the En- glish-speaking mass. To that much-maligned per- son, “the average reader,” he was less intelligible than George Meredith. George Eliot’s “Middle- march” was a popular melodrama and a penny shocker compared to his icy refinement and gla- eler-like action. He was often lost in the tangle of his own attenuations, the mazes of his at- tempted meanings. To forthright intellect he often proved a joke. To those who could achieve his style and perceive his intention he afforded a rare, fascinating mental exercise and a sort of dissipation, but he might as well have not writ- ten, for all the effect he left upon letters. His super-refinements were as evanescent as the traceries of frost upon the pane. The masters have always been intelligible to the masses. Carlyle, who did in heavy oils what Henry James did in water colors, failed of a permanent place in letters for a similar in- comprehensibility. Few read Carlyle today, fewer will read James tomorrow. Carlyle’s messages were not too powerful for utterance, fior James’ too delicate if they had mastered their vehicles. Both were unique but below the stature of the true artist in their idiosyncrasies to which they were slaves, and in supercilious contempt of plain in- telligences. Both were slovenly. Both may as well have scribbled upon the sands. Carlyle’s | faults would have obscured the genius of a Dante, and James’ the light of a Pater, or a Stevenson— men spiritually as rafe as he, but with the pains its property at high ¥ How ha tg Bie patie Team ok Sa AL Day me E: > 2 a ae ma Aga Pl ae i amt aE oe ee, Minas Pus PEC: Rs cde Sib PU adele iy , ee Pe a tect American rights on the sea in connection, | eee 2 ne § » Aas “Kade ~*~ \ i he iM fter ae ; a ie aay pS Ar ~ re * hotels a ~*~ s oe Tape “, « oe - a : f . « , 4 . - : ; . : . - ¥ s s/s 7.

One may be cold, even on one’s wedding eve, to a rejected suitor. Jim Bennett was in no way abashed by his reception. | “Just came in to wish you luck,” he said. “Why, Miss Forster, your watch is coming off the chain. Let me tighten that link for you!’’ “IT don’t see anything wrong with it.” answered the girl. But Jim, without answertng, deftly began to tighten the link with his pocketknife and a thumb- nail, stooping before the girl, who wait- ed, rather offended. “That's all right,’’ said Jim cheerfully ‘Is the old man to be seen?’’ “Mr. Forster is in his library, but if you go into the parlor you can walt for him,” said the girl coldly. “Thanks, -I will,” said Jim. He did rot go straight into the house but passed round the back through the kitchen. Two minutes later he met Mr. Forster in the parlor. “Just came to wish you all luck” he said. t “Thank you, my boy,” said the old man with emotion. He knew that phe had been one of Madeleine’s numerous discards. Jim Calls on the Minister. 4 ON’T you think Mr. Bennett [L) acted rather strangely?’’ asked the girl of her father, a little later, coming in after she heard the young man leave. “No, my dear; I acted the same wity when Lillith Gay turned me down—bless her for that!’’ answered her father. “Gracious!” said Madeleine, glancing at the clock. “It’s half-past nine. I had no idea it was so late. Let’s go té bed, father.’ At half-past nine the Rev. Spurgeon Beecher, who was to perform the ce‘e- mony on the morrow, at 10, was sur- prised to see Jim Bennett at his door. Mr. Beecher was an old widower, and aiways welcomed guests. He was giad of the meeting, for Jim had not at- tended church for several Sundays. “Glad to see you, Mr. Bennett,”’ he said. “I wanted to see you, in fact. Il was afraid you had been ill.’ “T'll come next Sunday for sure,”’ 2n- sv-ered Jim, leading the way into the parlor more quickly than the old man could follow. He lost sight of Jim in the passage, to find him in the parlor, stand- ing before the mantel. ‘I know T haven’t been punctual, Mr. Beecher, »ut I'll be regular in attendance in future. Ir fact, I’m going to see the ceremony temorrow.” “Ah, a splendid match,’ said Mr. Beecher feelingly, not knowing that Jim was a rejected suitor. “But do you believe cousins. should marry?’ asked Jim. “Cousins; sir? Of course not. they aren’t.cousins.”’ “Not immediately, but the Forsters and the Grants, you know, spring from a common stock, the Jacksons’’—— “You are wrong,’’ exclaimed the:min- ister, whose weakness was pedigrees. “The packsons were a cognate branch of’’—— So excited did he become in his dis- course that, in bending forward, he lost his watch.

The seam had split and the watch must have fallen out through the bottom. “Tt seems to be going, anyway,” said Mr. Bennett. “Good-night, sir. I shall remember what you told me about the Jacksons.” Jim in the Clock Tower. LD Mr. Greenacre, the church C3 warden, was a particular friend of Jim's, but he stared in amaze- ment when Mr. Bennett coolly requested the lean of the key to go into the clock tower. ‘‘What for?’’ he demanded. “T want to see the dipper.”’ “Going crazy? Head ache?’’ “No. See here! There's a new comet in the dipper, and I can’t see it from the street, with the lamps shining.” “TI didn't know astronomy was a hob- by of yours, Jim,” said Mr, Greenacre unsuspiciously. ‘However, here’s the key. Mind you lock up, and you can leave it on the porch, under the mat if I’m not up when you come.” “Thank you, sir,’’ said Jim. I see the time by your watch?”’ The old church warden handed him his gold timepiece, which Jim studied at- tentively. “Why, I didn’t know it was so iate,” he said. ‘“‘Half-past ten.” “Goodness!"’ said Mr. Greenacre, “The hours are fiving! And I'll have to be up early ‘tomorrow to have the church ready for the ceremony.” Harry Grant awoke at 6 the next morning with a horrible oppression on his chest. He looked at his watch, tried to sleep, was afraid of oversleeping him- self, got up, yawned and began to look for his toothbrush among his packed things. Then he thought of Madeleine and smiled happily. “Five hours!” he murmured. “‘T'll surely be in time.” And he tried t» sleep again, but the sun was shining so brightly, and this was his wedding day. He dreysed and went downstairs. He had told the maid not to come for a couple of weeks, and the jittle house, which he had leased for their home and occupied during the last month, was empty. The Bridegroom on Time. IX o'clock came; seven, eight. Harry went into the kitchen and raked up the remains of a cold supper.

Walker. NCE upon a time there was 2 O "beautiful girl named Mary. She lived with her grand- mother far away in a lonely forest. One morning as she was about. to fill her bucket the water suddenly parted and there appeared before her a great big dragon. “Fair maiden,” said the dragon, “you are too lovely to be hidden in this lonely forest. Come with me and I will give you all the riches of my kingdom. My palace with all its Slaves shall be yours. You will be queen.” As to her beauty Mary doubted the words of the dragon. No mirrors hung on the walls of their hut to tell her, and her grandmother had never said a word about her looks. The dragon seeing that she did not believe him, led her to the edge of the spring. “Here is a true mirror,” he said, “look for yourself.” “Yes, yes, the face that looks up to me is beautiful,” she said, as she drew back in surprise. “How grand I should look as a queen! I should love to live in a palace and have all the riches you tell me about.” G plied the dragon, tapping the water with his tail. Mary no longer felt any fear. She seated her- self by the dragon’s side and glided swiftly down to the botton ‘of ¢fie spring. The trees were filled with the most delicious fruit, and the love- liest flowers bordered the jeweled walk that led to the palace. “These are all ‘yours; enter and be our queen,” said the dragon softly, as they reached the steps of)\ this gorgeous castle. Mary's’ heart/ beat fast. She turned to thank him for his great kindness, when, to her as- tonishment, he had disappeared. One day while she was walking through her palace she suddenly came to a mysterious door that she had never noticed before. Upon the knob was written, “Do not enter.” Mary, thinking a queen had a right to do anything she wanted, opened the door and walked in. How disappointed she was to find only HEY shall be yours at once,” re- calmly, although his heart was beating violently, and he felt like a man as: cending the platform of the guillotine. An endless period passed. It was past nine. It must be time to start. He looked at his watch. It had stopped. He stared ut it aghast, and then, in wild panic, rushed out of the house and reached the church five minutes before Madeleine and her father entered. Alone at the vack the baffled conspira- tor watched the ceremony. His fore- thought had al) been vain. Everybody in the church believed it was half an hour later than it was; but it is no use fooling with a bridegroom on his. wed- Cing morning, because nobody knows just what he will do. Down the aisle walked the happy cou- ple, to the strains of Mendelssohn. Harry shook Jim warmly by the hand. “Old man—awfully kind of you to come,’ he stammered. “Not at aii.”’ said Jim. ‘“‘Not at all. Only I wish, Harry—I wish I’d been best man.” (Copyright by W. 4.

Her poor grand- mother was wandering about calling for her lost child. No one to love her, no one to care for her! Mary tore the jewels from her neck, threw off her gorgeous ‘robes, and fled from the palace.

Let me go to my poor grandma at once!”’ d “But wait,” he said, still standing mor the gate. And with that he turned three’ times.

Ry Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 1.—tThe Even- ing Post, In its copyrighted financial review today, says: “There was no occasion for sur- rise that the Stock Exchange should i cave been governed by nervous ap-~- prehension today, when the German submarine order was to g0 into effect. Coming on top of the bewilderment over the recent day- to-day news from the battle of the Verdun, and being accompanied by the President's demand that Con- ress yote on the question of the overnment’s policy towards Ger- many’s armed merchantmén preten- sions, it was to be expected that the day would be one of confusion and “unsettlement. Yet it must be said that the particular circumstances under which .the market made its early and violent break were hardly table, either to Wall street or the Stock Exchange. Opening Market Steady. “The market did in fact open with evidence that a calm and reasonable view was being taken of all the cir- cumstances of the day. Over-night changes in prices were slight, and in most stocks there was an early frac- ogy recovery. This was, howéver, “nt 4 at once by the _ circulation dcast of reputed cable dispatch- es announcing three or more ships having been torpedoed, leaving the inference that all these alleged achievements had occurred since midnight, and giving the impression that the German stbmarines were Simply running amuck, with results of a portentous character. Under the edinance of this pretended news, Shan of active speculative shares to 4 per cent, and even the Standard investment stocks gave selling along with them, under heavy se Titan Market Steady. “Financial news of the more routine afd general character played no pari in .the movement of the day.

That both . manufacturers and buyers regard the market as a dangerous one, under these ‘onditions, the Iron Age points out frankly. .But it adds that some of them had the same view weeks ago, and that their present feeling is that they are merely being swept along in a situation ‘the end of which no one can predict. “By afternoon the real news of the day began to get attention—the fact that no authentic report that any steamer n torped today had been re- ceived, and the view evidently taken in Washington that the President’s atti- oe would be in form at least indorsed af Congress, and that an open breach between the two arms of Government ak ‘wo ld be averted. hen it had once begun to concern itself with news rather than rumor, the stock market turned to a sharp recov- ery, in which the greater part of the fer losses were regained.

The Price Current Grain Reporte: says: ‘“‘Private advices on farm reserves of wheat do not show as large a per- centage as anticipated. A lot of wheat in the Central States is in bad condi- tion, and there has been considerabie feeding of wheat. The reserves are like- ly to be turned to feeding,; on account of the shipments of soft corn liable to spoil with warm weather. When the grain merchants begin to pay attention to the impairment of the new crop, it will be a decided factor in price mak- ing, for the acreage in the country is so much below last year as to preclude any substantial surplus for European wants the next season. Clement Curtis & Co. say: ‘Reports of our correspondents show considerable winter wheat killed in Missouri, Illi- nois, Indiana, Ohio and TenneSsee. The recent Illinois State report is being re- flected in the adjacent states. Texas has lost half of its acreage. Our Ok- lahoma reports agree with the state of- ficial condition of 73. Soutoern and Eastern Kansas show some Gamage, but the State as a whole is in good cendi- tion. Nebraska is excellent. There {fs impairment in Washington. The At- lantic and Gulf states generally good. Reports on reserves indicated 200,000,000 bu wheat and 475,000,000 bu oats, based on the Government's estimated crops.
