LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER PLEADS FOR RELIEF FROM SEA LIONS He Dare Not Kill Them, Under the Law, and They Are Taking Possessi n of “tis Island. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 16.-- The keeper of the lighthouse on Ano Nuevo Island, below Pigeon Point the California coast. has appealed to Federal officials here for relief from the sea lions, which the law forbids his killing, and which have multiplied so greatly that they threaten to take pos- session of the island. Even his private quarters are invaded by the pups, he declares in a commun- cation received here today. When he opens the door a troop of young seals comes into the house and at meal times the entire colony surrounds his domicile barking for admittance. Sleep, he com- plains, is at a premium, because of the sea lion choruses at night. The problem will be passed to the Department of Commerce and Labor. | WARMER, PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGH” AND TOMORROW THE TEMPERATURES.

The joint, subcommittee representing the Business Men’s League and ‘the Merchants’ Exchange in arranging for David R. Fran- cis, recently appointed Ambassador to Russia, yesterday afternoon decided that the banquet should cost $6.50 a plate and should be given at fRe Jefferson Hotel March. 23. The decision regarding: the cost Was reached only after a prolonged and live. ly discussion, in whieh’ some members of the committee wanted a dinner at as low as $1 a’ plate, while others de manded that it should be at least $10 a plate. James E. Smith, chairman of the Busi- ness Men's League subcommittee, said the question of the serving of wine did not enter into the discussion. He said George J. Tansey finally suggested that $6.50 would be a charge which would permit the serving of a perfect dinner with wine, and yet would be within the reach -of all those friends of Gov. Francis who desired .to attend. AGREEMENT WITH U. S. AGAIN CELEBRATED IN MEXICO CITY: Ten Thousand Persons Parade Streets Carrying National Colors and Banners. MEXICO CITY, March 16.—Another great public demonstration took place yesterday in honor of the successful arrangement of the difficulties with the United States. Ten thousand per- sons paraded the principal avenues, carrying the national colors and tan- ners, inscribed, “Homage to Venusti- ano Carranza, the savior of his coun- try’s honor.” Gen. Pablo Gonzales has returned from Queretaro. It is reported that he is @ candidate for the gobernacion portfolio in the new Cabinet. Scores of Americans who fled to Vera Cruz at the hint of trouble have returned to this city. The authorities are turning over the street railways to their legal owners. The Government has run them for months. It is believed this is preliminary to the restoration to their owners of other properties se- questrated by the Government.

' WASHINGTON, March 16.—Disposition of Paneho Villa in the event ofthis capture is being discussed informally here today., The belief among officials is that if taken alive he will be turned over promptly to Carranza authorities for execution. P President Wilson was informed by Secretary Baker early today that both columns of American troops new, in Mexico in pursuit of Villa and’ his ban- cits were meeting with hearty: co-opera- tion from the: Carranza soldiers. The War Department does not expect news of an actual clash with the Villa forces for several days. Official word that, American forces had crossed the border came to the department last night from Gen. Funston, Prospects today were that the Amer- can public will have to content _ itself with only meager news bulletins con- cerning the movement of troops. in Mexico. What is probably one of the most complete censorships in the na- tion's history is in full force.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—The cam- paign to enroll approximately 20,000 re- cruits for the regular army in the short- est time possible was in full swing to- day. Under an order issued yesterday 170 auxillary recruiting stations were re- opened after having been closed more than a year. Adjutant-General McCain has assigned 200 additional enlisted men to the work.of gathering recruits. There have been in operation already 54 main recruiting depots with which the aux- iliarv stations are now. working in con- junction. From the auxiliary stations groups of uniformed soldiers are being sent out to nearby towns, villages and hamlets. They are well supplied with recruiting literature and the system spreads a network over the entire country. Gen. McCain was highly pleased with the speed with which it has been put in full operation. Although no estimates of the number of men enrolled yesterday, the first day of the campaign, have been received, official reports tell of lines of men wait- ing at many stations to present their applications. Last year the Post-Dispatch printed 15,088 Musical Want Ads, 1006 more than appeared in the four other St. Louis |newspapers during the same period.

Troops Departs From Columbus on First Leg of the Villa Hunt—Camp=.5 Miles Inland. — «4 By CLAIR KENAMORE, A Staff Correspondent of th- Post- Dispatch. COLUMBUS, N. M., March 16.--The column of American troops which en- tered México yesterday from Columbus camped near Palomas, Chihuahua, about five miles from the American border There is good water there. The «nits were in a compact camp with the Thir- teenth Cavalry advanced farthest into Mexico. Heading due south, .the column left Columbus’ at noon and soon crossed the border. The imposing column of about 3500 men was led by the Thirteenth Cav- alry. The place of honor was given tv this regiment because it was the one which suffered most at Villa’s hands and which had fought him by the blaze of the burning buildings in Columbus. Gen. Pershing With Brigades. With the headquarters staff of the eigifth brigade rode Gen. John J. ter- shing, a fine figure of a soldier—iean, drawn, hawk-eyed. The various units packed up and as- sembled with cleanliness and _ order. They fell into their places in ‘the col-y umn and moved away with a precision and sweep that thrilled spectators. The road that leads to Mexico is a low railroad fill, on which the rails were never laid. On either side is the depression made by the dirt scooped up in building the road; At Ill a. m. on both sides of this: road for hal’ a mile and a half-a mile back from the road were parked the wagons, motors and guns of the expedition. At 11:30 the column From its camp where long, and which last -Thursday night was filled with Villa Ops, came the Thirteenth Cavalry on the trot, the ad- vance troop led by Capt. Williams. As the cavalry swung down the road, began to form, it has been s9 to the west. Half a mile .elow camp the men were already gray w'’ a thick alkali. After the cavalry swung in the fleld guns. Came on Brisk Trot. They came from due east of the road, drove at a brisk trot across the little depression by the road, took the short curve dashingly,. straightened the six-mule team’ without losing a step, and whisked the six-foot guns around as a dancer would her skirt. Three men rode on each caisson. Then came the wagons of the cav- alry and artillery, carrying provender for horses and men, and the more sin- ister food for the guns. out Other cavalry bodies came. nore ar- tillery. howitzer batteries. machine guns and always wagons. It was imposible to estimate the number. but with the proper and rather brief intervals be- tween the branches, the line of wagons extended more than two miles. The cavalry already was well onto Mexican soil before the last of the trans- ports had swung onto the highroad and headed for the border gate. The long black line crawling across the arid lana was all across the border by 2 p.m. A fair wind blew from the east and the dust raised by horses and wheels rose seemingly 290 feet, blowing off to west- ward. There were no cheers to mark the nove. No townspeople stood beside the road. Soldiers shouted, officers, with Eight Army Aeroplanes Fly Over Columbus COLUMBUS, N. M., March 16.

The barrel of the rifle passes througn “ ring attached to the rider's belt, so that if the man is shot from his horse, or is thrown, his rifle goes with him. In addition each man carries a 45-caliber au’ omatic revolver. Rolls of bedding, canteen and rope completes the equip- ment in sight. Many of the cavalry wore goggics. About 11 o'clock Maj. Ryan and Col. Slocum. rode down to the border in aa automobile and held a brief conference with Maj. Rafael Melrose, who held the Mexican side with 20 troopers of Car- :anza.

TROOPS MOVE AT DAYLIGHT; CAMPED CLOSE TU BORDER Special to the Post-Dispatch. EL PASO, Tex., March 16.—American troops started moving southward after Villa at daybreak this morning. Because of the strict censorship on all information regarding the movement of the United States’ twin columns, noth- ing definite is known except that the forces under Gen. Pershing and the fly- ing squadron under Col. George A. Dodd took the field again as soon as it was light enough to see _the trails which the Mormon .guides pointed out to the Thirteenth Cavalry scouts. Late into the night the can nal fires of the invading forces be: seen on the sand dunes to the south of Columbus and Hachita, N. M. Autos Run Back and Forth, Dispatch cars and motor lorries plied back and forth between the rail- road and the field camping place: throughout the night and messages in code were sent and ‘received from the wireless and over the field tele- ip and sig- could phones. Late vesterday evening one of the five big biplanes which are to be the eyes of the column in searching out Villa, took the air, and circled over the town of Columbus and flew to- ward the border. It was thought that this scout plane was going to join the column, but after trying a num- ber of altitudes its wings were warped and settled down again on SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 16.—The first report § fromm Brigadier-General Pershing, commanding the expeditionary forces into Mexico. to Major-General Funston, stating that all was going well, was received at Fort Sam Hous- ton this morning. The report deait with the strength of Gen. Pershing’s command, the disposition of the va rious units and the officers, the dis. tance of the first day’s march and the movements of the Carranza. troops. All these details come under the cen- sorship, however, and were not given out. Gen. Funston today arranged for a direct Government wire to Columbus. N. M. At the same time it was an- nounced that Gen. Pershing might make frequent trips between the field forces and Columbus.

This morning these air crafts are being given their final tuning up preliminary td flying across the border, The army fs’ bank- ing heavily on these big birds, for Villa is penetrating a country from which it will be impossible for him to be dislodged unless the aeroplanes , can search him out and make possible a trap of American troops from which Villa cannot escape. It was formally announced by the censor that Villa would not be brought tack to the border dead or alive. This is contrary to the original plans of bringing him to New Mexico for trial vn a murder charge. Instead, he is two be formally executed in Chihuahua City for the crimes he has committed on both sides of the border. This-is being planned to avoid .complications and it is be- lieved that it will tend to lessen inter- national friction. However, Gén. Pershing has stated 2n a number of occasions that he never expected ‘to take Villa alive. It is known that the bandit’s last stand will desperate, and it is believed he will ki!! himself rather than be: taken. Probable Route of Troops. The route expected to be taken toda, by the invading column is south by southwest to the head of the Ascension River, where it has its rise in Lake Guzman.

STAND —_— arr SS a a a a ae SAID TO BE CAUSE Emperor Reported to Have, Refused to Extend Sub- marine War Into Merciless Campaign Against All Shipping’ to Enemies. Development Is Taken to In- dicate That He Is Deter- mined Not to Provoke Break With the U. S. Violent Attack on German Ruler’s Attitude by Ad- miral’s Friends in Reichs- tag Is Forecast. Fy Associated Press. BERLIN, March 16, Ib» Sayville.—‘‘In some quarters,’ say sami-official Overseas News Agency, day, ‘‘the belief prevails that the resig- nation of Admiral von Tirpitz as Min- ister of Marine was connected with Em- peror William's decision not to extend submarine warfare beyond the limits announced to neutrals in the German Governmerftt’'s memorandum, and not tu direct it against neutral ships.”’ “Admiral von Capelle’s appointment as Minister of Marine is not of iim- portance in relation to the question of submarine warfare,’ the news agency continues, ‘‘since the direction of naval warfare is in the hands of the Chief o! the Admiralty. “The resignation of Admiral von Tir- pitz is much commented on, because of his successful activity in fostering naval construction. Admiral von Capelle long has been familiar with affairs of the Marine Department, especially or- ganization of naval construction, .in which he was the most capable collabo- rator of Admiral von Tirpitz. He suc- cessfully represented the Marine De- partment before the Reichstag, where he obtained the funds necessary for construction work.’’ REICHSTAG FIGHT. OVER ATTITUDE OF KAISER EXPECTED WASHINGTON, March/ 16.—Emperor William’s determination not to provoke a break with the United States in the new submarine campaign, even thougn it involves a factional downfall of Grand Admiral von Tirpitz himself, is indi- cated in today’s Berlin dispatches. The tone of these dispatches from the German capital, although veiled, is tak- en here to prove the supremacy of the Emperor, Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg, Foreign Minister von Jagow and the army, which has been opposing the plan of Admiral von Tirpitz and the navy party to carry the submarine campaign to a merciless destruction of all neutral shipping to enemy ports. Showing the decision of the Emperor and his supporters to reject a submarine policy practically certain to bring about a break in relations with the United States, if not actual war, the develop- ment is regarded here as a potent augury for a peaceful solution of the sit- uation with Germany. By some it is re- garded as the most important develop- ment toward the continuance of good relations between the countries that has come about since the period of strained relations began almost a year ago. Berlin Censor Passes News. The passage of today’s Berlin dis- patches by the German censor is re- garded as showing the desire of the German Foreign Office to prepare the American people for such a contest in the Reichstag as was recently seen in Congress over the armed ship question. It is believed that the contest will! re- sult in Karsh attacks upon the United States and the German Government it- self by the Von Tirpitz element, to the to- wireless : ana: for that reason officials and diplomats, reading between the lines, foresee an intention to prepare the United States for what is expected to develop as a result of the Emperor's decision not to offend this country. . About a fortnight ago, it is under- stood, a conference was held in Berlin, presided over by the Emperor himself ‘and attended, among others, by Chan- cellor yon Bethmann-Hollweg, Herr von Jagow and Gen. von Falkenhayn, chief of staff, and it is believed Ad- miral von Tirpitz himself was called in. The. discussion turned on subma- rine warfare generally, and particularily -on the attitude of the United States. Subsequent events in the American ‘‘ongress were forecast with remark- able accuracy. - The general understanding Was that it was the Emperor himself{who de- cided that every effort should be made t» retain the friendship of the United Btates, short ‘of abandoning any princi- ples Inv olving the honor of the German ration. Vou Tirnits's. Plans Rejected. The result was the rejection of the proposed extension of submarine var- fare to affect neutral nations. Von Tir- pitz’s retirement followed naturally the iejection of the plans he nad fathered. is is realized In Washington that Ber- lin is now to witness a conflict between the Emperor and a powerful element in the Reichstag, wrought up to a higa pitch of indignaticn over ihe condemni- tion of the Von Tirpitz plans. Todsy's Berlin dispatches saying tha’ lierr von Jagow spurned the advers> eriticiam of the Prussian Diet are taken t show that in the contest the Em- reror may find himsolf even tn the posi- “tion of antagonism to a majority of his * ¢wn. beloved Prussians.

Retires With Honors Recause of Services for Fleet. LONDON, March 16.—An Amsterdam dispatch to the Associated Press today Says: “4 sgemi-official statement issued in Berlin says: ‘The withdrawal of Ad- miral von Tirpitz from the Naval Ministry, takes place with all honors. His resignation is generally regret- ted in view of his great services ir making of the German fleet the high- ly valuable instrument which it has proved to be during the course of the war. The choice shown in the selec- tion of his successor is a guarantee that with regard to methods of naval warfare no change will take place.”’ Dispatches to the Associated Press from Berlin yesterday said: ‘‘A change in the head of the Minis- of Marine is now an accomplishe’l It is officially stated that in or- to avoid misunderstanding and wrong conclusions, it must noted that this change does not signify any modification in the submarine policy of the German Government which is based unswerving sly in the memorandum is- sued by the Foreign Office to neutral Powers regarding the Government’s in- tention to destroy armed merchant ves- sels of enemy countries, nor theve any intention to change or weaken i's policy in any respect. It may be said, however, that no sharpening of the sub- marine warfare may be expected ard that efforts which have been made tc have the submarine warfare extended to neutral shipping bound to and from enemy ports have no chance of suc- cess.”’ Admiral von Tirpitz last year bratel his fiftieth anniversary in German navy.

(b). To test the effectiveness of reme- dial measures which may be taken to control or prevent slides. These ‘ests would be more sensitive and definite than the mere occurrence or nonoccur- rence of slides. (c.) To furnish a reliable basis for confidence when, in the course of time, ii appears that the earth and rock move- ments have so decreased that a stability, ray be inferred. Two or three core borings should be made on each side of the canal, the committee thinks, to study the nature of the high hills. It recommends a thor- vugh invesiigation of the localities, per- centage of porosity of the several forma- tions, the effect of tropical vegetation, the nature of the disintegration which accompanies the weathering of these recks, the chemical changes which causc the so-called hot aeras.

E. Cor. Eighth and Washington Av. Also at Schmitz & Shroder’s ‘‘Big Store’’—East St. Louis, I. the Culebra district, this is the chief area of danger. This is the natural! consequence of the fact that by far the deepest part of the canal cut is in this district; and that the weakest of the reosclical formations, the Cucaracha, is strongly developed here. Slides may occur in other parts of the canal, but they will be relatively small and infrequent; for the banks are not high, and the unstable ground has al- ready slid down so that its surface har approached the angle of renose. Should tlides occur they are not likely to men- ace the operation of the canal. Slides great enough seriously to obstruct traf- fic in the canal, could occur only in the Culebra district, which is. but one mile long. The possibility of great slides in this section has therefore claimed the most careful consideration of the com- mittee.

EDMUNDS, Lecturer on International Law, St. Louis University Law School. The opposition which has developed to the confirmation of the appointment of Louis D. Brandeis to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court recalls five instances within’ the last 5) ycars in which the Senate has exercised its constitutional prerogative to reject such appointments. The Brandeis case is exceptional in that the Senate Judiciary Committee, to which such appointments are referred, Senate had agreed that no man of 69 or over should be appointed to the Su- preme Court. But for the action of the Senate in these two cases Edward D. White woulJ not now be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, nor would he probably be even a member. For, on the failure of Peck- ham to receive confirmation, Cleveland sent in White’s name, which was im- mediately confirmed. No question involving the integrity of the appointee was made: in any of the [SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTED TO BE IN FAVOR OF BRANDEIS Four Out of Five Members Are Said to Be Ready to Support Confirmation. WASHINGTON, March 16.—The inves- tigation of the protests against the con- firmation of Louis D. Brandeis, nomi- nated for the Supreme Court to suc- ceed the late Justice Lamar, closed ye3- terday, and the subcommittee of the Senate appointed to make the inquirv will report to the Senate Judiciary Committee within the next two weeks. There is little doubt In the minds of Senators now that Brandeis will be confirmed. The public hearings have convinced a number of doubting Sen- ators Brandeis is being opposed by Bos- ton corporation lawyers and “high. brows.”’ Four of the five members of the subcommittee are said to faver confirmation and the Judiciary Commit- e tee will adopt the report of the sub committee.

The case is unusual, too. in the fact that seven former President; of the American Bar \Association, in- cluding former President\Tatt, have filed protests with the-scommittee against favorable action. — Three Named by Grant Rejected. During President Grant's administra- tions the Senate three times rejected his nominations to the Supreme Court. The first was that of E. Rockwood Hoar Massachusetts, who was a member of Grant's Cabinet. Later Grant sent in the name of George H. Williams of Cregon, for the position of Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. Williams was also a member of Grant’s Cabinet, and he had been a member of the Sen- ate. It was felt that he had not had sufficiently wide legal or judicial expe- rience, The third nomination of Grant's lo inéet with failure was that of Caleb Cushing, who was objected to mainly on varty lines, it having been alleged that Cushing was a member the opposite political party before the war.

BUILDING OF NEW SUHOOL GURTAILS INSTRUCTION WORK BRITISH PASTORS AROUSED BY MORMON MISSIONARY WORK Sata te Be Preaching Their Doctrines im Homes Where Husbands Are at the Front. LONDON, March 16.—Marked activ- ity on the part of Mormon elders, among women bereaved by war, has aroused prominent members of the clergy and social workers in general throughout England From well informed sources it is learned that missionaries from Salt Lake City are preaching their doc- trines in households where the men are at the front. It is explained that these missionaries prosecute their duties in such fashion as to make it difficult to prove they are preaching polygamy. In some instances, however, it ts asserted, a book of “Ready Refer- ences” is being circulated, an extract from which says: “Prohibition of polygamy is not only a prohibition of what nature permits in the fullest manner, but what she requires for the reparation of states exhausted by war." The Mormon missionaries have been conspicuously active in the Midlands. Many went to Scandinavia. A consid- erable number have arrived from Utah and Liverpool has been thelr headquarters.

Additional Money Can Be Had Bull s-eye e Only by Bond Issue or In- creased Taxation. Every now and then—not often—a band plays some- thing that sends funny, creepy little shivers up and down your spine—your blood seems to tingle—and there’s a catch in your throat. It’s a great sensation when it comes —and you can’t fool yourself about it. All summer classes and many, if not all, of the public night schools wil! be abandoned this summer and in 1917, while the Bates School is being erected at Prairie avenne and North Market street, at a cost of from $200,000 to $2650,- 000. The condition of the public school treasury is declared to make it impos- sible to carry on the building of new echools and maintain the extra educa- tional advantages heretofore offered. Dr. J. P. Harper, commenting yester- day to a Post-Dispatch reporter on what the building of the Bates School would mean in the way of curtailment of the work of the instruction department, sald: “It is certain there will be no summer courses and it is likely that other courses will have to be cut down ma- terially during the building period. This statement applies unless the Ways and Means Committee, which now is at work on recommendations to be present- ed to the board at the April meeting, can devise some way to increase the! revenue of the board, or unless a bond. issue is passed to finance the building eperations.”’ New School Urgently Needed. Dr. Harper said the Bates School was urgently needed and that the board had been planning its erection for four ' years. It is in one of the congested cistricts, where relief 1s needed {mme- diately. Superintendent of Instruction Blewett in his report to the board Tues- day night said not less than 10 per cent of the seats in each schoolroom should be unoccupied to permit the easy handling of promotions and demotions in the schools. There are 835 seats in the present Bates School at North Mar- ket street and Spring avenue, while the enrollment is 891. The present school] contains 19 rooms ° and a kindergarten, and the building And you get those same wonderful creeps in the it is planned to erect will contain 22 ea ;: schoolrooms, a kindergarten and an au- spine that you get from the. rattle of drums; unless all Gitoviann. :30 Wik kek Qe eenne tebe the “boy” has died in your heart, which God forbid. of architecture as other new schools tn St. Louis and will contain the most “Katy”—mother of none, foster mother of seven— ° . + . ? is one of the girls that is a “brick” to boys always. inodern equipment. Last November Supt. Blewett fn a re- port to the board said the present finances of the board were not more inal ’s-eve, this picture. Nothing flash than enough to maintain the present Yes its ve bull Ss eV ? t Pp B y system and warned the board that un- or pretentious in any Oi it,—all as simple and direct as less something were done to finance’ the title. The runaway horses and wreck at the railway crossing; the minein Mexico with its battery of repeaters; the Mexican bandits and United States Regulars are all matter-of-fact and real and necessary. “Let Katy Do It” is a Triangle picture that has been building operations from some source! ether than the general revenue, or if “released” for several weeks. Several hundred thousand people have already seen it and most of them remember it. A good deal the same sort of feeling came to you as a boy when you read of the wonderful doings of your pet hero of the plains. Maybe you and your best pal talked it all over (espe- cially the day you had both been in trouble at school) and decided very definitely about going West and “showing *em”. Pistols in those talks of yours were always “suns” and rifles ““Winchesters’” or “repeaters.” Very serious talks they were—very exciting and very excited. And then, the thing got too big for you, and you fell silent as you and your pal stared with set faces off into the setting sun before parting with a word and a grip of two dirty, straining little fists. Well—it has all come true. In “Let Katy Do It” a tiny, tow-headed youngster does all the things you wanted to do. - All by himself he sets off the mines and works the levers of the Winchesters that hold back a Mexican horde while our troopers are tearing over the plains to the rescue. UBER ALLES by PETER B.KYNE Capturing the Appam, running the gauntlet of the British Navy and bringing the ship into a neutral port under a prize crew was an exploit no more thrilling than the feat performed by Capt. Murphy and Chief Reardon of Cappy Ricks’ ship Narcissus. In this four-part story in the famous Cappy Ricks Series, foreign secret service agents capture an American ship and all but accom- plish their plan to turn her cargo of steam coal over to the German fleet. A rattling deep-water sea story of timely war-time interest.

Immediate relief from congestion is needed in many of the schools. In his report Tuesday, Supt. Blewett detalled for the information of the board the number of rooms itn. various schools| which were being used to care for pu- pils crowded out of others. Half-sessions will be necessary, start- ing with the September term, in the Mount Pleasant, Fremont, Morganford Foad, Shaw, Roe, Cupples, Lowell.

At the Gardenville = School a room has been rented in a residence near by to take care of an overfiow. Portable buildings are being used to house overfiow classes {in the Adams, Arlington, Ashland, Benton, Fanning, Varragut, Fremont, Froebel, Shaw and Wyman schools. Four rooms of the Cieveland High School are being used by pupils of the Neosho School and one room by pupils of the M:unt Pleasant School. Pupils of the Wyman School are being instructed in a basement room at the Harris Teachers’ College. Efforts to learn what plans for the relief of the school finances are being considered by the Ways and Means Committee were unavailing. To avoid the necessity of cutting down courses in the schools and proceed with the build- ing program of the board at the same time, either a bond issue to finance the bullding operations must be passed, or an increase in school taxes must be made, boaré members said.

A number of objections have been raised against the Governor’s candidacy for this place, some of which have seemed to us fafr, and others probably not very fair—or at least not to our knowledge. We select this one from Callaway County as being ob- It is, moreover, mischievous, for while not flattering to the Governor, it imputes to the vice presidency a weight and importance greatly beyond what we understand to attach to that office. The vice presidency is a joke of such grave profund- ity that rather than traverse those lugubrious depths the average ambitious man in politics prefers to as- sume that the President cannot die. To say that Gov. Major is not big enough for such a place is absurd. Denying it Woes not even raise the question of how viousiy unfair. big the Governor is. eee ee If Villa has the United States army confused in his mind with the Salvation Army, what happened at Columbus probably will not go a great way toward clearing the matter up for him.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—Rear Ad- miral Benson, chief of naval operations, today told the House Naval Committee in minute detail of the preliminary work of preparing the navy for an emergency. The naval militia, he said, is being brought constantly into closer touch with navy ideas; merchant vessels are under inspection to determine what pri- vate craft would be immediately avail- able in case of war, and each naval bureau is informed exactly as to what it would have to do with these vesse!s. Repairs which would make them effec- tive would last from a few days to sev- eral weeks, he added. Admiral Benson sounded a warning against adopting the submarine ideas of the present war. ‘“‘We have learned something from the European war,” he said, “but we should be led astray by the conditions under which the submarine warfare abroad is being carried on.’’ Aboar, for geographical and other rea- sons, he said, there are conditions influ- encing the submarine warfare that hardly are likely to be encountered in any war in which the United States may be engaged. Aviation developments, he said, progressing slowly and conservatively. Sixteen aircraft are in commission at Pénsacola. Twenty-five more are ordered and % extra motors. Reports from Pen- sacola were most encouraging in results and enthusiasm of personne!. “TIT am largely responsible,’’ he said, “for cutting the aviation estimate $2,- 000,000 from the $5,000,000 or larger amounts proposed by others. I did not and do not believe that we should spend a large sum of money in developing aircraft, carrying vessels and dirigibles and other aircraft that would divert at- tention from the vital problem of using aircraft for scouting in connection with the operations of the fleet.’’ GIRL SUES FOR ADMISSION TO THE TEACHERS’ COLLEGE Court Asked to Prevent School Board From Enforctng Rules for Matriculation. Ferdinand C. Kayser and his daughter, Marie E. Kayser, of 3937 North Twen- tieth street, this afternoon filed a suit against the Board of Education and Ben F. Blewett, Superintendent of In- struction, to prevent them from enforc- ing the rules by which students are ad- mitted to the Teachers’ College. These rules provide that women grai- uates of St. Louis public high schools who are among the two-thirds of their class having the highest standing in their studies may be admitted to the Teachers’ College without taking a spe- cial examination. Graduates of other high schools, or those not having the designated standing, must take an ex- amination. Miss Kayser was graduated bv a Cath- olic high school last vear. She applied for admission to the Teachers’ College but was told she must pass an exam- ination. ERNEST A. GREEN IS CANDIDATE Files Declaration for Attorney-Gen- eral on Democratic Ticket. JEFFERSON CITY, March 16.—Ernest A. Green, an attorney, of St. Louis, today filed his declaration ag a candi- date for Attorney-General on the Demo- cratic ticket. Green is a son of J. F. Green, attornev for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and served as Assistant Attorney-General] under Barker for one year. were Big Corporations Now Advocating the Use of Newspaper Advertising. A strong plea for a more general use of the advertising columns of the press by the captains of Big Business is mada in an open letter which has been issued by Rudolph Guenther, president Rudolph Guenther, Inc., financial advertisers. of 3 Broad street, New York. Guenther takes the ground that much of the popular feeling which hitherto has existed in opposition to the enter- prises undertaken by men of large af- fairs was due to the fact that big cor- porations have not used the advertisin: columns to explain to the public their motives and methods. He notes with satisfaction that there is now a tendency among large corpora- tions to give the fullest publicity to their annual reports and other proceed- ings through intelligent advertising in euch newspapers and periodicals as are known to reach the people interested. Such advertising, Guenther eays, ex- erte manifold influences for good. It inspires confidence among tnvestors and indicates an open and honest attitude toward the modern spirit of publicity. He cites an instance in which an ad- vertising campaign in Missouri con- vinced a majority of voters of the State that a bill to increase the number of trainmen would be an injustice to the railroads.

Mr. Gutman’s indorsemeat of Tanlac is a characteristic indorse- ment—the enthusiastic praise of a man grateful to the great recon- structive tonic because it has given him ‘better health, more strength and that feeling of ‘“newness’ that only fresh vigor can afford. “I suffered from a loss of appe- tite, indigestion and stomach trou- ble,” Mr. Gutman stated, in discuss- ing his case. “I was losing weight, and had a very bad color in my face. [ al- ways had a bad taste in my mouth.

Gordon by long distance telephone today wheth- er the State Board of Equalization, of which Gordon is a member, had disposed of the county assessments by approving them. Gordon told him that the assessments had not been disposed of and that the board would be glad to listen to any suggestions the committee might make. It was arranged for the committee to call on the Board of Equalization on Monday, March 27. The commit- tee will be accompanied by repre- sentative business and civic organi- zations. The Business Men's J.eague will send a committee of five, headed by Edward Hidden. Arthur Stoehr, president of the Tenth Ward Im- provement Association, will head a delegation from that organization.

CITY TO GET $30,000 YEARLY RENTAL FOR USE OF TRACKS Terminal Accepta Terms Offered for Right of Way of Old Transfer Rallway. William McChesney Jr., ptgsident of the Terminal Railroad Associa- tion, today notified Public Utilities Director Hook that the Terminal will accept the terms offered by the city for the use of the river front tracks of the St. Louis Transfer Railway between Ferry street and Arsenal street. These tracks recently were taken over by the city when the Transfer Railway Co.'s franchise expired. It is agreed that the tracks be valued at $600,000, and that the railroads using them pay 5 per cent of this amount, or $30,000 a year rental. The roads also will pay the maintenance. cost. In compensation to the Terminal the city has issued a permit for the vacation of certain streets in the Ranken tract. McChesney asks that this permit be made permanent by ordinance. He has taken under ad- visement the city’s request that it be permitted to use the Terminal’s tracts in the Mill Creek Valley as part o” the terminal system of the Frq Bridge. i LARNED’S HISTORY OF WORLD BEST OF ITS KIND PUBLISHED In trying times Hke these, everyone should have a comprehension of nation- al life which will enable him to think nationally and not sectionally or locally.

W. T. Waller of the Marine Corps with regard to an inter- view on the campaign in Haiti in which Col. Waller was quoted as saying that the number of Haitians killed by the \merican forces numbered more than 60. Col. Waller, who was in charge of the marines in that campaign, denies that he gave any such interview and stave the Haitiens killed, as reported by his subordinates, numbered fewer than 165. In concluding his letter the Colonel wrote: “‘Permit me to say that I have some reason to believe that the story tas intended to injure me at this time.” Eager Crowds at Ideal Clothes Shop.

(The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) a Detroit's Pennant Hopes Rest Entirely on Ability of Jennings’ New Hurlers | Tigers, Except for Second-String Pitching Talent, Have a Stand- Pat Organization of 1915 fit) SSluepe? Veterans. By W. J. O’Connor. Correspondent of Post-Dispatch. Staff WAXAHACHIE, March 16. ETROIT’S pennant chances for the coming season D must be estimated by the strength of the opposition. De- troit has the same personnel as last year, with the possible, but improbable, exception of better geeond-string pitchers. Jennings took 10 right-handers and four southpaws. to this camp, one of the ‘best I have visited in Toxas. But there’s no chance of any- body dynamiting their way into the outfield, which is guarded by Cobb, Crawford and Veach, ’un- less, of course, the ancient bar- ber in right field, who is serving his fourtenth term with the Jun- galeers slips. The infield will be manned by Burns at first, Pep Young at second, Bush at short and Oscar Vitt on third. Stanage, Baker and McKee are the catch- the ers. All efforts of the manager and his able assistants, Jimmy Burke and Billy Sulivan, who was with Jones in the halcyon days of the White Sox reign, are being made to unearth a pair of dependable pitchers, That's what the Tigers need most, That’s ALL they need to be world’s series factors. Pitching— rather a lack of it—beat the Roy- al Bengals last season. Yor the coming campaign Jen- nings has the well-known tribe of Dauss, Dubuc, Boland, Cove- leskie, James and lLowdermilk. He has hopes for James. He thinks Lowdermilk will be some help in the spring; but neither of the ex-Browntes are the class to which any manager would pin pennant hopes. Both are wild and rank in-and-outers. New Pitchers Numerous. The new collection of hurlers includes Cunningham and Mar- shall, who hail from Chattanooga; Erickson, who was purchased from Rochester after he had signed with the Brookfeds, and Smithson and McTigue, south- aws, from the International zeague. Oldham, another south- paw, and Boehler, a right-hand- er, are second-string men who were with the club last season. nd were of inferior caliber in Of the newscomers, Cunning- ham and Erickson look best. Billy Sullivan is working hard with this pair, and believes he will be able to make them stick. However, neither shows as many ear-marks of a winner as George Allen Fincher or Ernest Koob, the debutante Brownies. In fact, Jennings rues the day that Koob got away from the Detrott clab. “If the Kalamazoo club had protected its rights we would have Koob,” said Hughie. “We bought him from Kalamazoo, but found that the latter club only had a verbal agreement with the Ypsilanti star.’’ It is only natural that Jennings should sing such a lament. Koob is far and away a better prospect than anybody I saw in the Detroit camp. Indeed, with Cobb and Crawford missing; there was lit- tle to interest ons in the Tigers. The absence of two such batter- ing rams as rus and Sam strips Detroit of almost all) its attractiveness. Leaders’ Methods Contrasted. There's a vast difference in the physical appearance of the De- troit and Brown camps. Jennings and Jones are in sharp contrast. . Hughie leaves most of the. actual work to Burke and _ Sadliivan, while he directa matters from afar—on the bench. Jennings be- lieves in sliding pits and ~»pro- motes a game of indoor baseball! for his pitchers. He says the chances of a hurler getting a fin- ger busted are too great, in the Re | How Jennings’ Team Will Face the 1916 Barrier CATCHERS—Stanage, Baker and McKee.

So he makes his moundmen loosen up in ee with the mushy indoor ail. Yet he makes his pitchers take their turns in the sliding pits. He is striving to make base-runners of all his moundmen. Jennings, as has given Bromilow Still Able to Win at Ripe Age of 34 New York Athlete Started .His Career as a Schoolboy 19 Years Ago. usual, NEW YORK, March 18.—Father Time] has counted the days of many athietes, but one sturdy lad of the cinder path has outwitted the old fellow. He is Joe Bromilow Jr. of the Irish-American om +9 Old Man Bromilow, as he is known to his teammates, has been running for nearly a score of years. And despite the fact that he is almost 34 years old, ne is a better middle distance runner, even nuw, than three-fourths of the men who specialize at this distance. Bromilow ran against four of .the fastest men in the country in the 500-yard special for the Metropolitan Association champion- ship at the Central High School games at Newark. In the following sto Bromilow tells some facts about his athletic career and how an athiete can always keep in condition: The only recipe I can give to keep in ondition is to abstain from smoking, alco- olic beverages and take plenty of outdoor exercise. . In the winter time, I do lots of woking. and when the weather is warm I maintain my condition by swimming and running. I started my athletic career as a schoo!- boy in 1897 and have stuck to the sport ever since. The reason I run is because I like the game and find it healthful. Three years later I secured my member- ship card from the Amateur Athletic Union. Since then I have won about first prizes, and seconds and just as many thirds. I cannot say how many races I have run, but it is a sure guess to say over 500. My victory should be considered a tribute to clean living. I intend to compete as long as 1 retain my legs and wind power. Blankenship Wins From Allen and Is Now Favored to Win ‘Pool’?

Cobb additional time in which to report. Crawford is building a home in Detroit and he, too, will be late in reporting. Both condi- tion quickly, even despite Craw- ford’s age. which is conservative- ly estimated at 368. And it {s around this same per- son, Crawford, that the Brown players figure Detroit’s chances. We heard it often at Palestine: “Big Sam is due to slow down.” He fell out of the .300 class last season, for the first time in eons, although he didn’t fall far. Just to the .299 mark. However, Crawford is next to Wagner and Laiole in length of service in the. big: show, pitchers excepted, and it is logical that we should figure on his fall and decline soon. The Detroit camp followers are loud in their praise of a young- ster who is destined to fill the first hole on the Jungaleer’s outer defense, when the time * comes. This particular person is now a member of the club, they say, and is none other than Hell- man, a right-handed hitter who batted .330 on the Pacific Coast last season. Heilman was with Detroit before and was farmed out for further seasoning. He looks ready for actual service now, having the speed and the eye to hold his own tn the big tent. George Maisel, brother of the famed Fritz, is another prom- ising recruit, and may endure the comin season as first infield sub. He’s bigger than his older brother, attaining an altitude of 6 feet 11 inches, and weighing 180 qoune. He played with Scran- ton last season and led the league in base-running. However, there's no chance to enthuse over anybody but the old stand-bys in the Detroit camp, and it's a copper-riveted cinch, barring accidents, there will be no new faces in the lineup, except on the hurling hill. ee —_— G.bbons Afraid . to Fight Darcy, Australian Says Tempting Offers by Antipodean Promoters Turned Down by St. Paul Boxer. NEW YORK, March 16.—Snowy Baker sends a letter from Australia, and he informs a breathless public that Les Darcy never had any inten- tion of coming over to these dear old states. In fact, Les is convinced that Kan- garoo Lagd is quite all right, and all that sortlof thing—-so why travel?

Brown, Jeff Smith and. every international mid- dleweight brought against him, Dar- cy stands to Australia as the middle- weight champion of the world. He will meet anybody who is willing to come to Australia, and meet him in a 20-round fight. ‘‘Les says that big inducements have been offered from Australia to Mike Gibbons. but there is nothing doing with Mike; and the Australian does not believe that che Phantom its game to face the 20-rounds jour- ney in his company. ‘Darcy, by the way, is a man with mili- tary training, being a member of the Matt- land Horse.

NEW YORK, March 16.—Charley Doessrick, matchmaker and manager of the Pioneer Sporting Club, smiled broadly yesterday when word came from Albany that the 30-day suspension meted out to his club by Fred Wenck over the Al Reich incident last Satur- day had been raised. Ten minutes later he had devised a plan to keep the two bits flowing into the till for the few afternoons left while Jess Willard is training at the club for his bout with Frank Moran in Madison Square Garden on March 2. In short, this plan involves putting on a six-round bout each afternoon, pre- sumably between preliminary boxers, to the end that the attraction of having the champion at work either before or after should not lose its commercial advantage. Willard went three rounds with Rodel and two each with Hemple and Mona- han, and they kept him on the jump every minute. All three adopted, so far as possible, Frank Moran’s style, and Rode! devoted much of his time to in- fighting. The champion was in no dis- tress at the end of the work, and is showing marked improvement in condi- tion each day. One could not help but agree with Tom Jones, who once more reiterated: ‘‘He’ll be ready, one week from Saturday night.”’ Coffey Calls on Moran. Jim Coffey went a-callin’ Sure, Jim did that. He dropped in on Frank Moran at Dal Hawkins’ camp, way up in West- chester. The Dublin Giant had as body- guard Joseph Ryan, son of Thomas Fortune Ryan.

He aint’ got a thing that you haven't got, except structure. That's the only thing, Frank, structure. Sure he’s a mess of an athlete, at that.”’ ‘I'm glad to hear you say this, Jim,” said Moran. “I agree with you. Whipping Willard hasn’t bothered me a minute. To tell you a plain truth. Jim, Wiille and I worried a lot\ more over beating you on two occasions than we have over Willard.” “Now, see here.”’ said Coffey. squaring off to Moran. “He holds his left out so,”’ and Jim extended hig strong south paw, ‘He holds it itn this fashion.

CHICAGO scribe takes exceptions to the attitude of certain sport writers in censuring Comiskey for spending money with a lavish hand to strengthen the White Sox, while laud- ing the efforts, of Huston and other magnates in the same direction. The point is well taken. It has ever been the custom to pan the niggardly policy of the magnate who refuses to ‘loosen up’’ for the purchase of new material; and since the sport has be- come so highly commercialized, why pick on Commy? Here in St. Louis, warm spot in their hearts for the “od Roman.” Here’s to Him. E’VE seen a lot of magnates itn our time, And some of them were good and some were not; We've seen Al Reach and Spalding is their prime, But Commy was the finest of the lot. Four times he: copped the pennant in a row, And brought the bacon home in one © world series; it happened many years should there be And though ago, We love him still, any queries. Then here’s to the good “Old Reman,” may his shadow never fade! He’s a royal sporting fellow of the very highest grade. doff our hats to Commy, and we hail him as a Prince— He won us four straight pennants, and we haven't had one since. * * — The Halcyon Days. OMMY’'S career, after leaving St. Louts, was more or less check- ered. When he acquired the American League franchise in Chicago he sumed his pennant winning habits soon grew wealthy. Roman got rich and started to spend his money for players, he stopped win- ning pennants. Commy won four pen- nants for St. than 12 men on his team, and copped three nennants and one world’s series for Chicago with a bunch of wind- jammers who were the joke of the bat- ting world. So, as long as Commy continues to spend his money for star baliplayers and de luxe special trains to waft them to and fro, the other magnates need not worry about th White Sox winning any pennants.

PALESTINE, Tex., March 16.—‘'I have five pitchers in shape and ready to go nine innings today,’’ said Manager Fielder Jones of the Browns today in discussing the condition of his club. Jones would not name the hurlers that he considers ready, but it is known that he is impressed with the showing made recently by Bill Fincher, the Little Rock recruit: Bob Groom, Carl Weil- man, Dave Davenport and Tim McCabe. Were the Browns called’ upon to meet a formidable foe now, it is certain that these pitchers would shoulder the bur- den. The others are physically fit; but Ernie Koob;>; Earl Hamilton, George , Baumgardner and Tom Phillips are still complaining of soreness in their shoul- ers.

Rut for this same wind I] believe all the men would be in first-class shape for the season. It has kept some of the boys, chiefly some of the vitchers, from getting their arms in good trim.

Word from training headquarters (by the subter- ranean route), is that Matty is atill troubled with an affliction that baffles specialists, and that the ({‘Little Na- 1oleon” has gone ahead figuring his pitching effectiveness WITHOUT MAT- TY IN THE OFFING! This is like attacking the en- emy without a reserve force back of the firing line. * * Season to Taste! OWEVER, the battalion of enthusi- astic spring writers, now perform- ing their annual autopsy—in advance— on the rest of the National League clubs’ hopes, points out that McGraw “has @® great pitching staff, irrespective of Matty.” James, pass the salt! We are forced to take their statements with copious sea- soning. Inspection of the performances of the talent which is supposed to be the “‘next best pitching staff in the National] League,’ fails to reveal anything more than an abiding optimism on tke part of the Giants’ friends. Perhaps experts see somethihg in the Giants’ hurlers that the figures do not disclose; but unless they do, we here and now beg leave to douse the glim of hope. Digging in the Dope. ONSIDER the facts: Not counting Matty, McGraw’s staff is made up of the following leftover twirlers. (We note their records, as shown last year in games won and lost, runs earned by op- posing batters and rank, based on this low-earned-run average): Pitcher. Ww. Tesreau Perritt 1. E.R.

Cc ONSIDERING that Alexander’: earned-run average was 1.22, that ‘oney’s was 1.57 and that five pitchers in the American were less than 2, it ap- pears that no Leonards or Johnsons are under cover on the Giants’ staff— at least, among the old guard. On the other hand, Philadelphia has FIVE pitchers who ranked higher than McGraw’s second best star, Perritt: Cin- cinnati has THREE, Brooklyn has FIVE Poston has FOUR or five, and even the lowly Pirates THREE. You don’t have to pull any Sherlock Holmes stuff to ieduce that the Giants’ pitching staff must rely on new material. This includes: ANDERSON, a. Buffalo Fed, who bore a good reputation as ai spitter, and. is reputed to be McGraw’'s best *“‘buy.”’ PALMERO, a Cuban pitcher who could only win 19, while losing 16 games for Rochester.

One look at Jess convinced Mr. Fan that the Australian middle- weight would be the next heavy- weight champion of the universe: “But Darcy’s only a 158-pounder,”’ a friend objected. “I don't care about that,” ) nate one replied. ‘‘He can box rings around Willard and can hit as hard as the title-holder. He would have stopped Ketchel in a whiff. Any fighter who) comes to Darcy will be beaten.” Which is a very uncomplimentary view to take of the biggest thing in ring his- tory—Mr. Willard.

It was too cold today, however, for the players to take any chances, and they leisurely went at their work in both the matin and vesper assign- ments. Although the opening game of the spring series is only 10 days hence, Hug steadfastly refuses to indicate how he will line up his men. *It's no cinch that Bescher Snyder will be in shape to said he today. “Further than that I’m not sure that my young pitchers will be ready. Just now Doak, Sallee and Ames are in better shape than any of the recruits, and for that reason I can’t give you even a hunch on who will work. If things shape up properly I may start the youngsters against the Browns, but I will make every effort to win the series.” Cosy Dolan Is Warned.

No club could take the lead early in the season and stand off the successive challenges of all other clubs in the organization, if it did not have SOME claim to class. Moran's club played determinedly, if not brililantly; and the punch to beat them was lacking in all rivals. Moran’s failure to materially strengthen his hand while nearly every other National team has in- crensed its efficiency, is the main reason for backecapping the pen- nant winnters, this spring. Y. M.
