BERLIN, via London, village and armored fort of Vaux, wortheast of Verdun, and « shurt listance from Douaumont, has taptured by the Germans, the War Of- tice announced today. The announcement says that in addi- Bon to the village and fort of Vaux, nu- nerous adjoining fortified positions were captured. The assault was made m the night by Posen reserve regiments. Today's official statement says: “The French recaptured the west- ern part of a trench near the farm of Maisons-de-Champagne, where sand grenade fighting occurred yes- terday. “West of the Meuse we were occu- pied in clearing out the rest of the [rench troops remaining in the March 9.—Thie been _woods of Corbeaux,_ mir > the east of the river, to short- wm the connection between our posi- tions to the south of Douvaumont and pur lines in thé Woevre district, the village and armored fort of Vaux, with nmumérous adjoining fortified positions, were captured in a glori- bus night attack, after thorough ar- tillery preparation, by the Posen re- serve regiments Nos. 6 and 19, under the leadership of the commander of the Ninth reserve division of ,infan- try, Gen. von Guretzky Cornitz.” The official French report of to- fay, although admitting the Germa.us temporarily penetrated the village of Vaux, do not mention the fortress. Unofficial advices some time ago said this fort had been demolished by Berman artillery. It is about two miles southeast of Douaumont.

PARIS, March 9.—The Germans have been repulsed between Douau- mont and the village of Vaux in sev- tral heavy infantry attacks, accom- panied by intense artillery fire, ac- tording to the official statement from the War Office today, which says the uttackers were completely defeated tfter having penetrated the village of Vaux. The official statement published ast night has done much to relieve the tension which has been caused. in the public mind by the execution of t Sreat onslaught on the main French lefenses on the west bank of the Meuse.

SOLDIERS FIGHT PARADERS WHO WANT ONTARIO DRY Bauners Torn Down and .farchers Hit With Snowbalis—Petition With 800,000 Signers Presented. TORONTO, March 9.—Twenty thou- sand men and women with banners, trass bands and a civic water wagon with “Old Man Ontario” perched on the seat, marched to the house of Legisla- ture yesterday afternogen and presented to Premier Hearst a petition bearing 800,000 signatures requesting legislation tc make Ontario dry—at least during the war. As the parade passed the soldiers’ convalescent home a number of ve- turned soldiers singled out the young men in the ranke and asked why they were still in muftli. A few minutes later they placed on the water wagon a sign: “We fought for you; do nor cut out our liberty.” One of the marchers tore the sign off This enraged the soldiers and a fig5t followed, while the soldiers sang, “I Am ‘So Dry.”~"When the parade reached the armories a crowd of soldiers pelted the paraders with snowballs and tore down banners. Several spectators were injured when the police attempted to quell the disturbance by riding down the rioters. HIGH PRICE OF GASOLINE SENDS CARS INTO STORAGE New York Men Economizing on Sup- ply Boug st at 27 to 30 Cents a Gal- lon; Price Likely to Reach 40 Cents. NEW YORK, March 9.—New York owners of automobiles are either storing their cars or economizing on gasoline, as a result of the prevailing price, which ranges from 27 to 30 cents a gallon. It is the belief in some quarters that the price will go to 40 cents. Wealthy Fifth avenue car owners are puying their gasoline at wayside sta- tions to save 3 cents a gallon, it was sdid today. Ten per cent of the middle- class owners have put their machines away pending a decline in- gasoline prices, it was stated. According to the Standard Oil Co., gas- cline prices may go as high as 8 cents wholesale eventually, but no immediate increases are planned. The effects of the increase would have been felt in automobile sales by now, it was said, but for the unprecedented wave of orders that came at the first of the year. WOMAN HAS FIREMAN SAVE DOS BUT SAYS NOTHING OF JEWELRY Afterward $2000 Worth of Valuables Are Found in the Ruins of a Dreser. When Mrs.. Isaac Raderer returned from the grocery this morning at 11 o’clock she found firemen extinguishing a fire which had started in her lat, S81I9A Russell avenue, in her absence. A fireman, upon her request, went into the flat and rescued her dog, who was unconscious from the smoke. The dog revived. After the flames were extinguished a policeman found $2000 worth of jewels in the remains of a dresser. Mrs. Raderer made no mention of them to the fireman who got the dog. The furniture was damaged $700, and the flat $500. Origin of the fire is unknown. EDISON SLEEPING BUT 3 HOURS For Three Weeks He Has Been Work« ing All Night on Experiment.

PERMANY DECLARESIROOSEVELT SAYS ‘WAR ON PORTUGAL FOR SniP SEIZURES Teutonic Alliance Now in State of Hostilities With Eight Nations. 13 COUNTRIES INVOLVED Newest Enemy Has 260,000 Men Available—Has Treaty With Great Britain. BERLIN, March 9, by wireless to Say- ville.—Germany declared war on Por- tugal at 3:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon and handed his passports to the Portu- guese Minister. “The German Government therefore considers herself from this time in war with the Portuguese Government,” is the conclusion of a declaration handed today by the German Minister at Lis- bon to the Portuguese Government an:] in Berlin to the Portuguese Minister, ’ the Overseas News Agency announce- ment states. Series of Breaches. “The German declaration,” says the news @@~sry, “emphasized the fact that this step was made necessary by the recent illegal seizures of German ships in Portuguese ports, which is the grev- est sort of breach of neutrality and of special treaties. Germany, therefore, is obliged to give up her former attitude of forbearance which she had rain- tained because of Portugal’s awkwar.i situation. “The declaration enumerates a iong series of breaches of neutrality by the Portuguese Government, such as ths permission of free passage to English troops through the colony of Mozam- bique; the permission given to English men-of-war to use Portuguese ports for a time exceeding that given neutrals; { the permission given the English navy to use Madeira as a naval base; actu! engagements between Portuguese and German troops on the frontier of Gcr- man Southwest Africa and Tngola; fre- quent instults to the German nation by members of the Portuguese Parliament. who never were reprimanded. Portugal Has a Fighting Force of 260,000 Men. The declaration of war follows the seizure by Portugal of German steam- ers interned in Portuguese ports. It was reported last week that Berlin had demanded the return of the vessels in 48 hours. Under a treaty with England, Portu- gal is bound to furnish Great Britain with 10,000 men when called upon. In the early part of the war clashes be- tween Portuguese and German troops in Africa were reported. Portugal has a standing army of 30,- 000 men and a reserve of 230,000. There are 871,000 in the country of military age. Its navy consists of one second-class cruiser, four third-class cruisers, 15 gun- boats, five destroyers, four torpedo boats, one submarine and 600 sailors. Germany is now in a state of war with eight countries: England, France, Bel- gium, Russia, Servia, Montenegro, Ja- pan and Portugal. She has also broken diplomatic relations with Italy, but no declaration of war has ever been made. Including the Teutonic allies, Ger- many, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, there are now 13 countries in the great war. FAILS TO WIN TORNADO CLAIM BECAUSE OF HEAVY RAINS Jury Decides Against Attorney Who Refused Verdict in Lower Court. A jury in Judge Withrow’s Court to- day decided against John B. Dempsey, an attorney, who sued the Calumet In- surance Co. for $151.8) for damages to his home at 4163 Castleman avenue, caused by water pouring down through the walls by high winds, Aug. 20, 21 last. Dempsey first sued in Justice Moore’s Court for $95, and got a verdict of $41. He appealed to the Circuit Court for the full amount, he said he paid for re- pairs. Dempsey alleged that the wind drove the water through the walls, caused apertures in the slate roof through which the rain came, and therefore he should be recompensed because of his tornado policy. The company’s attorney alleged that the policy did not cover damage as the result of any wind-driven rain damags, and denied that the wind caused aper- tures in the roof.

NEW YORK, March 9.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who is at Trinidad, British West Indies, in a statement given out today, through the New York Evening Mail, emphatically declines to be a can- didate in the primaries of Massachusetts or of any other state. “I will not enter into any fight for the nomination,’’ the Colonel says, “and [| will not permit any factional fight to be made in my behalf. Indeed I will go further and say that it would be a mis- take to nominate me, unless the country has in its mood something of the heroic, unless it feels not only like devoting it- self to ideals, but to the purpose meas- urably to realize those ideals in America. “This is one of those rare times, which comes only at long intervals in a nation’s history, when the action taken determines the life of the gen- erations that follow. Such times were those from 1776 to 1789, in the days of Washington, and from 1858 to 1865 in the days of Lincoln. “It is for us of today to grapple with the tremendous national and internation- at problems of our own hour in the spir- it and with the abilitv shown by those who upheld the hands of Washington and Lincoln. “Whether we do or do not acconiplish this feat will largely depend upon the action taken at the Republican and Progressive national conventions next June. Nothing is to be hoped from the present administration. * * ®* All that they offer us is a choice between degrees of hypocrisy and degrees vu‘ infamy. But disgust with the unmanly failure of the present administration ,I believe, does not, and I know ought not to mean, that the American peuple will vote in a spirit of mere protest. They ought not to and I believe they will not be content merely to change the present administration for one equally timid, equal vacillating, equally lacking in vision, in moral integrity and in high resolve. * * ® “We must clarify and define our policies. We must show that our be- lief in our governmental ideals is so real that we wish to make them count in the world at large and to make the necessary sacrifice in order that they shall count surely. We, of this great republic have a contribution to make to the cause of humanity and we can not make it unless we first show that we can secure prosperity and fair dealing among our own men and women. “I believe that in a crisis so grave it is impossible too greatly to magni- fy the needs of the country or too strongly to dwell on the necessity of minimizing and subordinating the desires of individuals. The delegates who go to Chicago will have it in their power to determine the char- acter of the administration which is to do or leave undone the mighty tasks of the next four years. “That administration can do an in calculable amount to make or mar our country’s future. The men chosen to decide such a question ought not to be politicians of average type and paro- chial outlook. Still less should they be politicians controlled by sinister in- fiuences from within or without. They should be the very best men that car be found in our country whose one great mission should be to cCeclare in un- equivocal terms for a program of clean- cut, straight-out, national Americanisin, in deeds not less than in words, and in internal and international matters alike and to choose as a candidate, a man who will not merely stand for such a program before election but will reso- lutely, and in good faith, put it through if elected. “ es @¢ * June is a long way off. Many things may occur between now and then. It is utterly impossible to say now with any degree of certainty who should be nominated at Chicago. The crying, vital need now is the men who next June assemble at Chicage from the 48 states and minxlc the views of the entire country shall act with the sane and lofty devoticn to the interest vf our nation as a whole which was shown by the original Continental Con- reas. They should approach their task unhampered by any pledge excej;t to bring to its accomplishments every ounce of courage, intelligence and in- tegrity they possess."

Told to Do Everything WASHINGTON, March 9.—The Stute Department is understood to have be- gun the draft of a memorandum to Gen. Carranza, based on the report of Gen. Funston of the Mexican raid on Colum- bus, N. M. The memorandum is being prepared with a view to ite dispatch in case Sec- retary Lansing decides to present the case to Gen. Carranza. It probably will be drafted along lines similar to the communication sent Carranza on the Santa Ysoba killing, but because of the more ‘serious aspect of the present in- cident probably will be firmer thaa the previous one. * At the State Department it was said the situation was “‘very serious,” but that no announcement of what action could be taken would be announced un- ti] official investigation was concluded. First reports of the Mexican raid were received at the White House while President Wilson was hav- ing his first conference with Newton D. Baker, the new Secretary of War. Officials admitted that the raid pul a very seridus aspect on the Mexican sit- uation, ; Talk of Intervention. While the policy of the administration so far has been to look to the Carranza forces to deal with the bandits, svme officials declared today that it was 4 grave question whether such a raid hs that on Columbus was not sufficient evidence of the inability of the Car- ranza Government to deal with the sit- uation to warrant sending American troops over the line. The raid started a new agitation in Congress, where those who have Op- posed the administration's Mexican pol- icy openly charged that the attack was proof of their repeated declara- tions tha. the Carranza. Govern..cnt was impotent to deal with the situatioa and a fulfillment of their predictivuns that another outrage like the rccent Cusi massacre, in which 18 Americans were killed by Villa bandits when they held up a train, was only a question of time. _ At the White House the report of the affair was received with evidences of the greatest concern. Officials most familiar with the President's Mexican policy were silent, but they indicated that the raid had brought the situction to a critical point where it might be difficult to stand by the policy of non- interference. After the President and Baker hed discussed the reports briefly, the Pres- ident decided that the new Setretary of War should take office at once. He signed Baker's commission and the new Secretary was sworn in. Secretary Baker transmitted to Preat- dent Wilson reports about the attack on Columbus, N. M., as quickly as they were received at the War Department. It was said at the White House that vigorous steps would be taken to punish the bandits.

He told of the hanging of the American rachers, Arthur ci William Corbett and James O’Neil, on the Palamas ranch, of which it was foreman, and declared that a fourth American whose name he did know hed been hanged at the same time. All the bodies were said to been burned. The hanging occurred when the bandits raided the cattle of the Bosques Gardes Ranch. The Mexican told Col. Slocum that Villa left the Bosques Grandes Tuesday, made a leisurely journey north and about 4 p. m. yesterday noon left a point on the Boca Grande and started for the border.

EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, Louis University Law School. "TP Mtory is ample precedent in the his- st.| tory of relations between the United States and Mexico, for the pursuit of lawless bands into Mexico by United States troops. While sending troops upon the soil of anoth- er state constitutes a violation of that state’s territory, it is justified in excep- tional cases under the necessity of self- protection. This is especially true where the state from which the injury comes exhibits an incapacity to restrain such acts. With the rise of Diaz in the late ‘70s, American settlements on our southern border suffered extensively from lawless conditions in Mexico. Many lives wer sacrificed and much property destroyed on both sides of the Rio Grande under conditions very similar to those of to- day. Diaz, just recognized as the legiti- mate ruler of Mexico, was unable, as is Carranza, to cope with the situation, After many warnings and much congres- sional oratory, Secretary Frelinghuysen negotiated a protocol with Mexico in 1882, whereby the two countries granted the reciprocal rights‘to pursue lawless bands, each into the territory of the other. Troops of each state actually fol- lowed and exterminated lawless bodies of men, but this protocol needed to be reaffirmed in 1883, 18384 and 1885, before a complete extermination of the bandits was accomplished. After less than five years of quiet, the Yaquis relapsed into their former ban- ditry, and adopting the precedent of 1882. Secretary Blaine again negotiated a protocol with the Diaz Government for the mutual pur- suit of outlaws by troops of both states into the territory of the - other. This protocol could be denounced upon four months’ notice, and like that of 1882 to 1886, did not require previous notice of the invasion of the other’s territory where it was impracticable to give it. Order was restored, but for no very long time. The Apache Kid appeared at the head of an organization of bandits in 189, carrying on his depredations without regard to the international boundary. It became necessary in 1896 again to resort to the expedient of co- operation between the troops of Mexico and the United States under a protocol negotiated by Secretary Olney, the ob- ject of which is set out as the extermi- nation of the Apache Kid and his fellow outlaws. The agreement was to termi- nate with the accomplishment of that object. The Villa faction in Mexico has un- doubtedly degenerated into a lawless body, having no recognizable revolution- ary alms, and the use of the most vigor- cus, repressive measures against it can- not be said to violate any of the worthy sentiments which we associate with the right of revolution. The United States has recognized the Carranza Government as expressing the overwhelming popular choice, and %6 having that support. In view of the effectiveness of our measures of *0- operation in the suppression of lawiess- ness in Mexico in the past, these prece- dents appear to be not without value at present, particularly in view of the apparent inability of Carranza to dis- charge Mexico’s international obliga- tions toward us. ._—— —_—_—_- way from Bosques Grandes Ranch, about 25 miles southwest of here. A Mrs. Wright, who stated that she and her husband and baby were “ap- tured by Villa several days ago, was liberated just before the fighting start- ed.

Lieutenant-Colonel W. L. Kenley, com- mandant at Jefferson Barracks, today said that the strength of the Thirteenth Cavalry at Columbus, N. M., was about 500 men. There are seven cavalry troops and a machine-gun troop stationed there, Col, Herbert J. Slocum commands the regiment. The troops at Columbus and their commanders are: Troop I, Capt. Thomas F. Ryan; Troop YF, Capt. Edward Davis; Troop G, Capt. J. E. Stedje; Troop H, Capt. R. F. Smyser: Troop K, Lieut. W. A. Me- Cain; Troop L, Capt. O. W. Rethorst; Troop M, Lieut. M. G. Holiday. The regiments’ home quarters are at [vrt Riley. Col. Slocum is related by marriage to a number of St. Louis families. He was here with Mrs. Slocum in October, 1912, to attend the marriage of his son, Miles Standish Slocum, to Isabel Bradford Shaw, a niece of Mrs. Lewis C. Nelson ef 23 Lenox place.

Vigorous Action Against Raiders, White House Say Continued From Page One seed Secretary Baker to do everything pcs- sible to protect Americans. One of the probable courses most dis- cussed in official circles was to send American troops over the line to clean out the bandits. It was pointed out that such actjon could be taken with a declaration that. there was no intention to impair the sovereignty of Mexico and purpose of occupation of territory, but simply to deal with a situation men- acing to the American border over which the Carranza Government evi- dently had no control. There is some conflict of opinion re- garding the authority of the War De- partment to send troops into a foreign country without the consent of Con- greas. Those who doubt the authority ecntended that all American troopers may do, without further authority, would be to repel Mexican marauders by fire. Other officials, however, contend that the Constitution vests the President with authority to repel invasion and that au- thority, they say, includes the power to send troops over the line. They point out that in 1877 Secretary McCrary of the War Department instructed Gen Ord, commanding on the border, to noti- fy the Mexican authorities that if they were unable to suppress disorders which menace the American side, the United inte Mexico to pursue the bandits are States would undertake the work, even ig the outcome caused the occasional crossing of the line by American troops. found in the State Department archives. State Department agents have infor- mation that* Felix Diaz, the Mexican revolutionary leader, is hiding in New Orleans, and upon their information they are satisfied that he has not landed in Mexico with an armed expedition, a8 has been reported. Precedent for Invasion. When Mexican Indians were pillaging in Texas in 1871, the American Minister in Mexico City was instructed to say that it might become the duty of the United States, “at least to weigh the ex- pediency of pursuing the hostile Indians into Mexico, without the consent of that Government, if it shall not adopt meas- ures to check the robberies referred te." When orders were given on June 1, 1877, to American troops to cross the border if necessary in pursuit of “lawless raiders” the Mexican Government protested, but the United States justified the orders as necessary under conditions existing on the border. In June, 1882, the United States and Mexico made a reciprocal agreement for the crossing of troops of hoth nations on either side of the line for pursuit of Indians in the unpopulat- ed desert country and that agreement was subsequently extended, In May, 1875, Secretary Fish of the State Department instructed the Amer- ican Minister to Mexico to propose the temporary occupation of Mexican terri- tory from which raiders had been com- ing. He purposed a zone inside a line drawn from Matamoros to Laredo. Nothing came of the suggestion ind the raids later were suppressed. The possibility of any reciprocal agree- ment with the Carranza Government for the common crossing of the line is said to be remote at this time because Fed- éral officials realize that sentiment along the border would not permit the pres- ence of Mexican troops in American ter- ritory. Furthermore, they fear clashes with local rangers and cowboys if it were permitted. Major-General Funston is in supreme command of the situation on the bor- der and has full authority to do ev- erything except send troops over the LS eS b | CAN'T FIND ANY DANDRUFF Every bit of dandruff disappears after one or two applications of Danderine rubbed well into the scalp with the fingeés_tips.

Sprague laid the order before Judge Hodgdon yes- terday evening and the release of Mrs. Ewing followed. Dr. At&ins said today that Mrs. I;wing was not only mentally balanced but was one of the most intellectual women he had ever met. Society women of. Kirkwood and Webster Groves had interested them- selves in Mrs. Ewing’s behalf and were taking steps to have her re- leased. Judge Hodgdon, when Mrs. Kwing was placed in the. sanitarium, said she was sent there for observation and that thtere would be a public hear- ing later to determine her mental con- dition. A ‘ The complaint which led to Mrs. Ewing’s commitment was made by Mrs. P. G. Seudder, who has been rent- ing the old Ewing home in Clayton. Mrs. Scudder said Mrs. Ewing had peered in:at the windows and had warned her to vacate. She was also said to have had trouble with an aunt in Florida and with relatives’ in Washington. The order of commit- ment set.ferth that she was liable to endanger her own person and the property and lives of others. Mrs. Ewing has been separated for a year and a half from her husband.

One of the reasons why the Republic- ans are so confident that they can car- ry Missouri at the November election is that the State organization is so thor- ough that practically every Republican voter in the State will be induced to go to the polls. A system of collecting a small campaign contribution from every farmer or business man in the State who can afford to make it, is expected to produce a fund of ample size to carry out the plans for the fall campaign. Babler was elected chairman of the Republican State Committee two years ago. This was his first active connec- tion with politics. He is vice president cf the International Life Insurance Co., of which he was one of the crganizers. He was married in December, and since then has lived at Webster Groves, a 27-acre estate which he purchased. FIGHTS BURGLAR IN HIS HOME SO ee eee Man Hits -ntruder on Back and Head With Poker.

FEANADIAN SOLDIERS WHO ATTACKED AN AMERICAN PAROLED Pastor Was Dragged From Home at Berlin, Ont., Marched in Street and Beaten. BERLIN, Ontario, March 9.—Sentence has been suspended in the cases of two of the soldiers who recently broke into the home of the Rev. R. C. Tappert, pastor of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church and dragged him to the street. Mr. Tappert says he is an Americal citizen and a protest against his treat- ment has been filed by the American Consul at Hamilton. At the trial the Rev. Mr. Tappert said the door of his home was broken open und that he was carried to the street by the heels and the head and repeatedly kicked while being so carried. The two soldiers, Sergeant-Major Blood and Private Schaefer, admitted that ‘the minister’s story. was substan- tially true but said the pastor had shown by his utterances that he was an enemy to the British HDmpire. In releasing them on suspendcd set:- tence the Court said he assumed he was dota so with the consent of the Crown. POSSE CAPTURES MISSOURI BANK ROBBERS AFTER FIGHT Cashier at Stark City Kidnapped by Holdup Men Whe Got » $210. JOPLIN, Mo., March 9.—The Stark City Bank, at Stark City, 25 miles south- cast of here, was robbed yesterday by ‘two nen who held up the cashier, Waldo 'apler, locked a bookkeeper, Miss Lena Tanner, in the vault and took $210. Three hours later they were captured six miles from town by Hapler and a Deputy Sheriff after a revolver fight in which one of the robbers was wounded, In haste the robbers overlooked $1500. They forced Hapler to accompany them to the outskirts of the city. There they met Lafe Borden, president of the bank. Hapler shouted to him that the bank had been robbed. Borden drove to town rapidly, formed a posse and started in Hapler was velesoed by the bandits about five miles from town and he was evertaken by the posse. The posse sur. rounded the robbers in a creek bottom. When the robbers’ ammunition gave out they were captured and the money was recovered. The robbers gave _ their names as Charles Estes and Thomas Klergy. La Salle Friday Bargains. Delicious Chocolate-dipped Marshmal- lows, 20c box, & Asst.

WASHINGTON, March 9%.—Approxi- mately a billion and a half dollars for new ships and an annual upkeep charge of $760,000,000 is what Admiral Fletcher, commanding the Atlantic fleet, estimates it would cost to carry out the Navy Gen- eral Board’s recommendation that the American navy should equal the most powerful fleet afloat by not later than 1925. The Admiral’s estimate was given yes- terday in testimony before the House Naval Committee. Representative Callaway asked if it was not reasonable to assume that the European war would end within a year cr a year and a half at most. Admiral Fletcher thought it would, and added that he believed the close of the war would see the greatest opportunity in history for the success of an interna- tional disarmament or limitation of disarmament agreement.

C. M. McDonald, vice president of the Real Estate Exchange; William J. Hrus- ka, chairman of the Taxation Commit- tee, and Warren McGinnis, attorney of the exchange, called on Mayor Kiel today and placed in his hands resolu- tions adopted by the exchange protest- ing against St. Louis property being 4s- sessed on a higher basis than property ¢r-country districts, and asking him to. request the Board of Aldermen to pro- test to the State Board of Equalization. The law requires that all property in the State be assessed at 100 per cent, but it is not complied with. The prac- tice has been for St. Louis property to be assessed at 70 per cent of its value. i. V. P. Schneiderhahn, representing the Taxpayers’ Protective League, told the Mayor a few days ago that in some places in the country the assessment is on the basis of 10 per cent. When Schneiderhahn made that state- ment, Mayor Kiel said he would pre- sent the matter to the Board of Alder- men if requested to do so by the Real Estate Exchange. The exchange, ac- cordingly, adopted resolutions protest- ing against the “gross and violent” dis- crepancy between the assessment in 8t. Louis and other cities and the country, and demanding that a uniform and equal system be established. Mayor Kiel said he would send a mes- gage to the Board of Aldermen tomor- row, asking that action be taken to bring the complaint before the State Board of Equalization. Mayor Kiel yesterday afternoon ap- pointed Fred C. Lake, secretary of the B. Nugent & Bro. Dry Goods Co., and Charles .H. Miller, treasurer of the Car- penters’ Union, No. 588, to be members cf the St. Louis Board of Equalization. Appointment of Charles W. Bates and C., O. A. Brunk had been announced pre- viously. The board will hold its first meeting March 2 and thereafter will hold daily meetings for four weeks in Assessor Schramm’s office.- It will hear complaints and will have power to adjust assessments which are decided to be un- fair.

The taaxtion value of real estate is given at $62,581,610 and personal proper- ty at $7,929,444, making a total of ew,- 511,064. The total of these two items last year was $59,597,010, the increase this year being $904,044. This does not include the valuation of public service corporations, the figures for which are fixed by the State Board of Equaliza- tion and have not been received as yet. This valuation averages about $8,000,000 a year and the increase this year is expected to be enough to bring the total increase to $1,000,000. The valuation of personal property this year is below that of last year, which was $7,945,950. An examination of the abstract shows that this is ac- counted for in part: by a decrease in live stock. Last year’s report showed 9189 horses while this year there are only 7797. The number of hogs last year was 13,750, this year 11,292. There was a small gain in the num- ber of cows, from 8806 to 9391. According to Assessor H. H. Hack- mann, real estate value has not in- creased as rapidly as in the last few years before, because there has Seen less building in the last year. He said there were 800 fewer building permits issued in the last year than in the pre- ceding year. He said the poor showing of this re- port is partly accounted for by: the pe- riodical falling off of returns of person- al property that follows the going out of office of a Collector. He said that when personal returns are not made voluntari- ly an assessment is made arbitrarily and that each succeeding year that no return is made this is doubled as a pen- alty. As a result, he said, when the Collector went out of office last year and sued for unpaid taxes it was found many men's personal assessments had grown by leaps and bounds.

WASHINGTON, March 9.—The Shields water power bill is on its way today to t now the House from the Senate, where it aS ware. |) was adopted last night by a vote of ke the fat-prod 46 to 22, after a long and persistent fight ees ane against the measure by conservation champions. As it goes to the House, the bill vir- tually is unchanged from the form in which it was introduced, although re- peated but ineffectual attempts have been made to amend or to send it back to committee. The measure had been under consid- eration in the Senate for more than four | weeks. Briefly stated, the bill provides for water power grants on navigable streams to private interests. Several Switch Positions. Several Senators voted for the bit | who had opposed it during the debate. One of them, Senator Walsh, said he considered it bad legislation, but firmly believed it would be amended when it reached the House. Those who voted against the bill were Senators Ashurst, Borah, Chamberlain, Chilton, Cummins, Gronna, Hollis, Hust- ing, James, Kenyon, La Follette, Lane, Lea, Lee, Lewis, Martine, Newlands, Norris, Poindexter, Reed, Sheppard and Works. Senator Reed attacked the provision of the bill which provides that contests bs decided in favor of the applicant able to guarantee the best consiruction, de- claring that this would result in the best sites going to the interests now operat- ing power plants. He declared the meas- ure would grant corporations absolute control of the country’s water power for a long time. “At the end of the § years in the grant,’’ Senator Reed said, “the Govern- ment can enjoy the blessed privilege of taking over the plants and paying for them the full value. I believe that back of this law which would grant these enormous powers, is the same crowd that was back of the Coosa River project in Alabama.” Government Can Acquire Plant. The bill permits the construction of Cams in navigable waters under licenses issued by the-Secretary of War and gives grantees the right to operate pow- er plants for 50 years, after which time the Federal Government may take over the plant, after giving two years’ notice and paying a fair value to be determined by the Secretary of War and the owner or by proceedings in the United States courts. Regulation of rate and _ services is tlaced with the state in which the plants are located, or, if interstate commerce is involved with the Interstate Com- merce Commission, on appeals when the states involved are unable to agree on reasonable rates and adequate service. The bill also provides that no works shall be operated 4a any combination to limit the output of electric power or in restraint of trade. flesh 1 7 stor this vicinity sell it orty tablets to a pack- ee of weight increase found in each large s in ge—on or money back as box.—ADV.

This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says « well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before preakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of lime- stone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate trom your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- tem of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up!

SLACKENED; Work Continues at Highest Speed, British Minister De- clares in Reply to Churchill. LONDON, March 9.—~Bitterness marked the reply of A. J. Balfour, Firs* Lord of the Admiralty, in the House of Commons, yesterday, to Col. Winston Spencer Churchill's attack on the naval administration, which the Tirst Lord Said Was unfortunate both in form «nd substance and likely to arouse misgiv- ings among the people. While deprecating the controversy, Balfour declared: “Il absolutely deny charges,”’ He then threw the blame on Col. Churchill for depleting the ranks of skilled shipwrights by allowiaz them tu join the army during Churchill's tenure’ of office, thus hindering the shipbui'd- ing plans, which, however, the QGov- ernment had succeeded in keeping abreast with the needs. “If the fleets at the command of this country at this moraent are not suffi- cient to secure safety, then in the whole histor; of Great Britain they never have been,” was one of the nurting shots uttered hy Palfour. Col. Churchill retorted wiih a _ brief speech, repeating his doubts abvut the execution of the battleship and destroy- er program and asserting that even now Balfour had not given any assur- ance on this point. He admitted there was no reason to suppose -hat the Brit- ish margin of strengtl was not suffi- cient, but he thought the greatest cf- forts should be made to build at the highest possible speed.

When Balfour said that guns for mon- itors had been designed for capital ships, Sir Arthur Basil Markham, Lib- eral member for Nottinghamshire, inter- jected: ‘Monitor guns came from America!”’ ‘‘There was more than one lot of guns,’ retorted Balfour.

HENRY F, LANGENBERG MADE FULL PERSONAL TAX RETURN Statement Was Printed That He Scheduled Only $4390 of Property Worth $21,079.08 in 1914.

Langenberg of 49 Westmore- iand place, a son and one of the execu- tors of the estate, said the‘’tax return of $4390, made in June, 1914, as ‘well as the returns in all preceding years, had been for the full amount of his father’s taxable personal property owned ot the times the returns were made. His fa- ther, he said, had been scrupulously ex- act and accurate in making out tax re- turns. The 1914 tax list is the latest one now open to public inspection. .

' The negro ministers of St. Louis, without regard to denomination, in their regular meeting, 4de- to express to you on behalf of their people ks for the courageous and uncompromising ay you fought the segregation policy in our ty. Not only negroes, but all’ the city should eel indebted to you for such championship, in this our of blurred vision, of those American prinei- les which are basic to our liberties. In this way also, we want to thank all who orked in any way for justice and equality be- the law. We thank the other papers in our ty which spoke out and did not barter their neiples. Ws thank all who wrote letters to the papers, those intelligent, pointed protests inst wrong, we thank the few ministers of the pel who spoke out publicly from the pulpit and ho worked more quietly in their parishes against shame of segregation; we feel indebted to het large company of leading white laymen, awyers, statesmen, citizens prominent in public ife—men of character and vision, who by voice nd pen protested. These are the prophets of the nobler St. Louls to be, and by these all can see that St. Louls in the recent election was untrue to her better self. We wish further to express in his way our gratification and pride for the way n which colored women of St. Louls went into parts of the city distributing literature to st the false and misleading statements of the gationists. In this way they distributed 5,000 pieces of literature. St Louis has no ex- She willfully rejected the light. No minority ver went down in a more glorious defeat fight- ng@ for truth with the weaponry and spirit of ruth than these. | In this election St. Louis has said with em- phasis, that Italians, “oles and Jews, Greeks and ungarians, and all the rest may have the right- f-way, but the people of African descent are to shoved aside. To be thus insulted in one’s own home, to breathe an atmosphere surcharged th antipathy, to be waylaid by such civic high- aymanry and exposed by ruthless power to the ity, to the cold, curious stare, or to the contempt pf the other race groups of our polyglot popula- ion, is extremely hard. The brutality of it is haic and monstrous, and the resentment in the reasts of the injured is deep-‘and just. With one sll indiscriminate blow a race has been stigma- and seriously handicapped; and for what? or saving money and buying property like others yhen it is offered them for purchase. _ Yet St. Louis will enter her temples and piously worship God, who respects not the persons of men, § call on the Christ who died for all alike and said: “Do to others as you would that they should do to you,” but God’s day of exact reckon- ing is sure to come, and in that day of judgment the city will see that property valuations are ut- terly trivial alongside of human rights ani equal Se ‘We urge the colored citizens to be patient, in- 18, economical, dependable, to be gracious rs, neat in appearance and quiet and cr- ly in their home and neighborhoods, to not ie heart, but trust God; for after all one of the gest protests against injustice must be with- in one's self; a Godly, industrious, patriotic peo- have all heaven for their ally. . ‘The eyes of Lord run to and fro throughout th whole in order that He may show Himself strong behalf of them whose hearts are perfect to- rds Him.” NEGRO MINISTERS UNION.

M., makes our intervention in Mexico to the extent at least of clearing up the Villa bandits, inevitable. The situation is intolerable. We cannot suf- fer Villa and his armed murderers from the refuge of Mexican territory to raid American ter- ritory at will, slaying American soldiers and civilians. American lives and American territory must be protected at any cost. We cannot rely on the Carranza Government to protect Americans on our own soil, much less in Mexico. Carranza seems powerless to cope with Villa and his bands. After the Santo Ysabel murders in Chihuahua, on Jan. 10, Carranza gave a solemn pledge to dispose at once of the Villa menace by destroying the Villa bandits. The answer is the murderous raid on Columbus and the American cavalry camp there. Hesitation on the part of the administration in this crisis would be fatal. It would be a reproach to the United States. It would be a notice not only to the Mexican bandits but to the world that the American Government is too inert or too cowardly to protect American lives, Amer- ican property or American territory. American troops should be sent at once after Villa in Mexican territory. Not a day should be allowed to pass without action. What the ultimate consequences of an expedi- tion against Villa may be we do not know. We should prepare promptly and vigorously. Con- gress should act on bills providing for an ade- quate army and navy. = = * ree The stripes of the American flag are to remain red and white. The yellow stripe is rejected. a LA Ap ww THE TWELFTH STREET WIDENING. Mayor Kiel says that because of the need for immediate traffic relief he will sign the bill for a 60-foot South Twelfth street and defer the widening to 80 feet until a later date. But if the ‘|}urgency of present relief will not influence a widening to 80 feet, how can we expect the full improvement later, when the need has been partly supplied? The expense is the principal objec- tion. Why place any fatuous hopes on a plan that will increase expense? Why make two bites of a cherry? should not sign the bill with any illusions. If an 80-foot width is not provided for now, it probably never will be. The American commercial traveler is left to his own judgment as to his voyages. = = * rT we CHOREOGRAPHIO OBSCENITY. - The unexpurgated prelude to the “Arabian Nights” is a curiosity of erotic literature. Trans- ferred to the stage and realistically suggested by the physical symbolism of the dan@®, it is an orgy of sensuality the depravity of which is em- phasized by the mixture of blacks and whites. It is the last word in the obscenity of decadent art. The vulgarity of the theme and the scene is neither concealed nor redeemed by its setting of wondrous beauty, nor the exquisite grace of the dance. They are wasted jewels on the body of death. It is a tribute to the moral sense of American theater goers that “Sheherazade” and the touch of obscene realism in “The Afternoon of a Faun” have been resented by them. Their taste has not yet become so vitiated and jaded that they will seek or accept unredeemed sensualism in the form of art. The wantonness of these descents into sensation is illustrated by contrast with the exquisite pro- ductions of other themes dealing with youth, love, romance, gaiety—all human emotions that may be symbolized and expressed by the poetry of Diaghileff’s Russian ballet is a revela- tion of the harmonies:of music, color and mo- tion. It broadens the scope and enlarges the understanding of the art of the dance. Why plot its charm with obscenity for obscenity’s sake? —— If “anger strains the heart,”’ what a lot of dam- aged organs there must be overseas. = = —-— = ww THE WISDOM OF BABY WEEK. Man’s inhumanity to babies, including woman’s inhumanity likewise, staggers belief, according to the medical authorities who are celebrating “Baby Week.” Here are a few of the horrors which brutally doting Fathers, and especially Mothers, perpe- trate on the longsuffering new born: They kiss them. They handle them. They caress them. They “dandle” them. They muzzle them in the neck and nibble and squiggle and sqush them. They just naturally pester the little roly-polies to death. They soap them and put starchy, ruffly fol-de-rols on th all the time. Sometimes they actually puncture them with pins. They sneeze on their babies and cough on them and get microbes on them and don’t feed them properly or make them sleep enough. They monkey with them too much and leave them in drafts to cool. They do every mean thing and fool thing they can think of and neglect everything they ought to do. The best thing for Baby, according to the con- sensus of the authorities in convention assembled, is to let it alone in a dark room most of the time, and let it cry till it goes to sleep. To those who are mothers this sounds just too, They propose to go on coddling, nib- bling, tickling, pestering and spoiling their wee victims and biting their pink toes and playing doll with them according to their lights and in- stincts. The purpose of having babies is not to gratify the whims of hygienists, eugenists, cranks, authors, lecturers and doctors. Anyhow, medi- cine is not an exact science. If it were it would produce without the medium of mothers some babies of its own for purposes of experimentation yer onl Bese iat aertombene it cannot even Mr. Kiel | their souls and become female Frankensteins. Mother’s unscientific kindness will continue to be &@ necessary evil for quite a while, we fear. Fur- thermore, under the present system, babies have certain constitutional rights to parental or mater- nal abuse which sentiment is bound to uphold. Finally, considering what drawbacks and detri- ments mothers have always been to their babies the world has quite a large, healthy and ,growing population. The Moewe (seagull) has the German eagle. proved an able aid to = = re COMPROMISING McKINLEY FARES. The Business Men’s League, City Counselor Daves and McKinley line officials are holding conferences with a view to compromising the matter of increased fares to Granite City. An arrangement under which 5-cent fares will be retained during the rush hours morning and evening, with higher fares at other hours may make unnecessary a hearing before the Inter- state Commerce Commission, it is said. * But is it desirable to make such hearing un- necessary? Not even in a conference of self- constituted members could a more impartial tribunal of adjustment be found than in the commission. A compromise would leave severed points un- settled. One is whether a utility company, rec- ognizing fully the municipal authority to con- tract, can enter into an agreement with the city under which it receives privileges actually worth a great sum and later seek to abrogate the agree- ment without surrender of any of the quid pro quo. St. Louis is interested not alone in an expanded interurban system bringing it into close relations with the residents of adjacent territory. It is in- terested also in having those residents carried here as cheaply as to other cénters of interurban systems. No increase of fares at any hour should be accepted except on a full disclosure of the facts. An Interstate Commerce Commission hear- ‘|ing would afford such disclosure. The McKinley system is recognized as one of the wealthiest, most prosperous interurban sys- tems in the country. A widespread local impres- sion is that by mere bookkeeping burdens are im- posed on the most expensive link. that should be borne by all links in the system, the design being, of course, to justify an ex-parte claim for increased charges. An Interstate Commerce Commission hearing will show whether this impression is accurate. An unofficial conference, called in a spirit of com- promise, will not. In the meantime, compro- mising has spent 10 days of the 30 days grace allowed the city for contesting the exaction. What has been done toward preparedness in the city’s case? = = — a a SENATOR GORE’S CHANCE. The time is propitious for Senator Gore to in- troduce a resolution warning Americans to keep at least fifty miles away from the Mexican bor- der. Doubtless he would be supported by the congressional mollycoddles who favored his ship- warning resolution. = = * ei, if AN ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCE, There is this difference between the German submarine warfare on enemy merchant ships and the British orders in council concerning trade with Germany. The British order affected trade with Germany and her allies alone and did not endan- ger the lives of neutrals and noncombatants. The German orders affected all trade and travel on the seas and endangered the lives of all neutrals and noncombatants on merchant ships of enemy belligerents. Great Britain’s only interferes with the freedom of the sea so far as Germany is concerned. She does not menace safety on the sea. The German orders interfere with trade and travel everywhere and menace the safety of all life and property on merchant ships. As Ger- many’s enemies have the only merchant ships traveling on many waters, the German orders practically deny the right of trade and travel in these waters. The right of trade and travel on merchant ships is a natural right of Americans and all neutrals, recognized by international law. How can the United States abridge these rights of citizens or deny them protection in its exercise? How can we abrogate international law to give Germany freedom to destroy ships regardless of] the rights of neutrals or the safety of noncombatants? In either law or right there can be but one an- swer to these questions. To concede Germany’s demands would be to abandon right, law and hu- manity and to close the seas to trade and travel during war. = = * '- - The Illinois Board of Health is making an ef- fort to save the babies. But the babies will con- tinue to be overfed, and those of them surviving will grow up to overeat. This may be the surviy- ai of the fittest. = SUPPRESSION OF OUR HOBSONS. A modern enigma is why some visitors return from studying Japan with the view that war with that country is most improbable while others having apparently the same opportunities of ob- servation return with the view that war is in- evitable. Prof. J. F. Abbott of the Washington University chair of zoology belongs to the former class. His reasons for thinking war will not come are enti- tled to as much weight as those of visitors who think war will come and are set forth rather more convincingly than those of most persons who agree with him. He makes one new point of force in condemning pessimism. as to future Japanese-American rela- tions. He supposes that some unfortunate occur- rence of wholly accidental cause has precipitated an issue between the two nations—for instance the destruction of a battleship in a Japanese port paralleling the Maine’s destruction in Havana. Manifestly the effect on American sentiment would be very different from the effect of a simi- lar accident in a Brazilian port. But why? Because the agitation of America’s Hobsons would have prepared this country for suspicion and hostility. So difficult would it be to convince Americans that the tragedy was: accidental that war might result for that very reason. _The professor supplies one of ¢ the best reasons nae - .' . . ¥ “) q Yoon Vee A “4 Ee cig ah eit a Pyar y ee one BON y ae.

Queen Thamar, an angel of beauty, but “ cruel, wily demon, dwells in an ancient tower in the Caucasus, where the Riv- er Terek roars.

With a division championship of the Municipal League almost assured and the entire Muni- cipal title practicaliy conceded, the (cmpton Heights quintet of the ; M. C. A. division broke from the Abe- jen circuit and joined the Union A. ©. of the A. A. U. League. Yesterday there remained but two con- tests on the regular schedule of the Municipal League. The Comp- tons were to have played the’ Mo- hawks at Francis Gymnasium, last “night, and the Y. M..C. A. quint on the “Y" court, Friday night. In order to clinch the championship, the Comp- tons would have had to defeat the lace Mohawks, last night, and ”" team, Friday. In two earlier as accomplished and last the “ meetings, this consequently there was but little fear of failing to gain the supremacy. However, lost by forfeit while the Weekes for- leited to the Y.

Ro- dowe Abeken, sponsor of the Munici- pal League, stated this morning that the Comptons would be allowed to eome back into the fold and play the contest with the “Y” for the title, rriday night. Should the Comptons win this contest, the two teams would be deadlocked for first place honors and a play-off game necessary. Can’t Play in Both Leagues. In reply to this, Verne Lacy, chair- man of the Registration Committee. Stated that the A. A. U. League would not sanction this action. He said: “Peters, Cliff French, Pete French, and Chase registered with the A. A. U. and joined the U. A.

We feel that we have strengthened the league on and in so doing did disregard any rules.” en asked if an A. A. U. League team might lead up with new players whenever it so desired, Lacy said: Our rule regarding this point is that @ team may draft players who hold A. A, U. cards whenever it pleases, just so the players do not come from another A. A. U. five. We protect our own teams by compelling the players to stay at least one year with the team under whose name it has registered, that :s, ‘unless the manager is willing to give that player his release.’’ It was admitted that a team might gain the services of as many new men as desired, even on the night before a final championship contest, if the play- ers were taken from other than A. A. U, teams, and that the players took out A. A. U. registration cards. A plaver must have played in three contests with a Municipal League team before he can pay in a final with a five in that cir- cu Consequently the Y. M. C.

NEW YORK, March 9.—According to the latest rumor in golf circles, women golfers may form an organization of country-wide character like the men’s national organization, the United States Golf Association, in order to have a part in the management of the women’s national championship, especially in the selection of the links. One prominent woman golfer said: “The women should take into their own hands the management of the wein- en’s national golf tournament, which now is controlled entirely by the men, the United States Golf Association. Some years ago the men’s association wished the women to run their own cumpetitions, but the women declined. ‘‘That decision was perhaps right then for they did not have the necessary experience. The women have conducted many big tour- naments with success in late years, and I see no reason why their abilities would not measure up to the responsibilities and difft- culties of a national task. ‘Take the Eastern women’s and the Gris- com cup Tri-City competitions. Have not the women demonstrated in those affairs their ability to take care of big tourna- ments? Then in the name of common sense. why should they not be able to branch out and take over the management of the na- tional championship? I do not know wheth- er they could do this without a national body, but if such an organization is required then it. and I have no doubt Boston. event were the New Haven and the Green- wich Country clubs. The decisicn of the U. Ss G.

Appleby by Brown last night was a severe setback for the young aspirant for championship honors, while Charies Heddon of Dowagiac, Mich., cannot finish better than in fourth position as he has lest three out of five games, This afternoon Heddon will meet J.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 9.—Yale de- feated Columbia's basket ball team here last night by a score of 50 to 10. Yale led all the way. At the end of the first half the score was 23 to 9. The only score made by the visitors in the second period was a foul shot by Capt. Dwyer.

Louis’ oldest bowler in competition, will. be in the first squad of tenpinners that leaves here on Friday night for Toledo. to ecompete in the American Bowling Congress tournament on Saturday, which will be known as “St. Louis day.” On this day 11 St. Louis quintets are scheduled to roll. They are: Washingtons, Burkes, Budweisers, Duponts, Jack Daniels, Falstaffs ana Union Sodas of the Commercial and City Major leagues, Henry C. Mennes of the Western Rowing Club League, Alpen Braus of the Grand Central and Wer- der-Hughes and Schweigler Sodas, picked squads. Kern, who has the honor of being St. Louis’ only A. B. C. champion, having copped the individuals and all-events in the tourney held at Cleveland in 1904 will be a member of the Washington team in the five-man event. Kern won the individuals’ in 1904 with 647, while his all-events total was weil over the 1800 mark. He will try to bring another championship to St. Louis this year. Practically all the star teams of the local drives will roll on the same night. Jack Beresford’s Budweisers are lead- ers in both the City Major and Com- mercial leagues, the two fastest cir- cuits in the local bowling world, while they also hold the high season average in both leagues. The Union Sodas, Fal- staffs, Burkes and Duponts also own good records for the season. A. B. C. to Name Officers. The annual election of officers of the American Bowling Congress for the coming year will be held in To- ledo tomorrow, and from present in- dications it looks as if the Toledo delegation, with a few outsiders thrown in will have the whip hand. Keason—No proxies are allowed an@4 very few out-of-town bowlers will be present. If you want to vote at an A. B. C. meeting you have to be on hand. This is a little rough on St. Louis, which is entitled to 41 votes, 40 delegates and one member—C. M Barker—on the board of directors. Chicago also will be hit hard haying 54 delegates. But then the Windy City has several high officiais and they are on hand. This makes it better for Chicago than for St. Louis. The local bowlers do not depart until tomorrow night, and they'll hit Toledo on Saturday, just about the time the meeting comes to a close, as a brief session to com- plete business also is booked for that day. At the meeting a new president will have to be elected to replace Ryan of De- troit, who has “enough.” It is said that William Agnew, one of the best known men in the tenpin game, hailin from Cleveland, is in line for the place. e's at present a vice president.

White fought here several years ago against Benny McGovern and other peed bantams, and acquitted himself creditably. He is said to have been sparring partner for Johnny Coulon in the ys when the cham- pion was good. Other matches scheduled to be de- cided at the club Saturday are: Kid Bandy vs. Charley Dalwitz, and Pete Marlow vs, Johnny Kern. Coulon Matched Again. Eddie Coulon, the New Orlea bantamweight fighter, has recover from a threatened attack of pne - nia and has been rematch to x Harry Kabakoff at the Future City A. C. next Tuesday night. Coulon is a clever, cool boxer, and there are masy ae. think he will beat the fast . uisan. Other bouts scheduled for Tuesday night are: Jimmy Mitchen vs. Cyclone Dailey, Jimmy Curtis vs. Billy_Man- son, Mickey Kelley vs. Jimmy Brady. Schneider Beats Benny. Leo Schneider, who last week made the trip to Kansas City with the M. A. A. boxing team, under the name of Leonard Hartman, “oe night gained Referee Randall's ecision over Young Benny, right .name Cosmas Idala of New York, after eight rounds of milling. Neither boy suffered Se: punishment, all the blows being ight ones. , In the semi-windup Charles (Red) Johnson was 4isqualified n fourth round of his bout with Willie Colona. for throwing Colona to the floor. These two‘have boxed many times in amateur circles and until the foul was committed last night they were on even terms. Jesse Allen, of the Eighteenth, knocked out Sergt. Jack Gardner of the Twenty-third, in the second round tin the prelimi- nary. Jack Johnson, a negro from ths fighth, won the battle royal. Zulu Kid Busy. Young Zulu Kid, the Brooklyn ban- tam, has been signed for two more fights. On Friday night Zulu ‘meets Dutch Brandt for 10 rounds at the Van- derbilt A. C., Brooklyn, N. Y., and on Monday he meets Johnny Efrtle, the bantam champion, at the Clermont A. C., also in Brooklyn. When Zulu and Efrtle get together, fight fans will see the two smallest ban- tams in the game fighting each other. Both boys are the same height, while Ertle will have about two pounds ad- vantage over the Zulu. gan Wonder Like a Hawk, | i has taken any cognizance of Sisler.
