DEMANDS IMMEDIATE SUBMARINE REFORMS Cabinet Takes Up Case, Stone and Flood to See President—Von Bernstorff Said to Have Proposal to Make to Lansing. WASHINGTON, April 18.—The Amer- ican Government’s communication to Germany designed as the last word of this Government in the submarine ccn- troversy is being put into diploma‘to code today for immediate transmission * ' to Berlin. The document is said to be the most vigorous diplomatic paper President Viilson and Secretary Lansing ever have drafted. It covers the activicics of German submarines since the J.usi- tania disaster and is intended to force the question of a speedy settlemcnt of the submarine issue by- making plain that only an immediate change in Ber- lin’s policy can prevent a rupture in the friendly relations between the two countries. © Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, acting under instructions from his Government, will discuss the submarine crisis in general terms with retary Lansing ot 4 o’clock this aft- ernoon. It was indicated that the con- ference would not delay the sending of the note or cause any change in its terms. It was understood that the Ambassa- dor has no instructions to discuss any specific case in controversy between the two Governments, but to take up the subject broadly and to seek the view- point of the American Government in the present situation. There were some indications today that Ambassador Gerard has been infezme4 by the Berlin Foreign Office of its de- sire to meet the wishes of the United States if it is shown that the channel! steamer Sussex was destroyed by a sitb- marine, in violation of the German “ov- ernment’s instructions and that Count von Bernstorff was authorized to make such a statement, in general terms, to Secretary Lansing Secretary Lansing and President Wilson conferred early today on the note, which was discussed at the Ca»- inet meeting. It was announced that nothing had come up to prevent the dispatch of the note. After the Cabinet meeting it was learned that some points had not been finally agreed on, and it was under- stood there might be some change in the note’s phraseology. It was said the points left open might be closed at any time, and the communication sent forward. Just what those points are was not revealed. Chairman Stone of the Senate Foreign relations Committee had an engage- ment to see President Wilson at the White House. Senator Stone was in- formed of the intentions of the admin- istration as soon as the communicatior. was completed by the: President.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF RUNNING AN AUTO WHEN INTOXICATED --re, Versa Wuebbling. 28, Ta" 2: to Dispensary Where She Is Treated: Dentes She Drank Excessively. A woman who said she was Mrs. Versa Wuebbling, 28 years old, of 1328A North Newstead avenue, was arrested this morning at Fourth and St. Charles streets and taken to Cen- tral District Police Station pending the application of a warrant charg- ing her with driving an automobile when intoxicated. The automobile engine went dead and a policeman who questioned her reported her to be intoxicated. He fore- took her to the city dispensary, where a physician said she was suffering from acute alcoholism. She said she owned a service car,, and that she went with it on a trip! last night because she had a new chauffeur. She said she had drank two bottles of beer, but maintained she was not intoxicated. She said the chauffeur drove the car. Assistant Circuit Attorney Baer re- fused to issue a warrant charging her with driving an automobile while intox- icated. The police continued to hold her, however, and it was announced she would be sent to police court on a mis- demeanor charge. BUILDING FALLS ON TRACKS F herman Spends Night Bluff Line Trains. An abandoned frame building for- merly used to house a rock crusher collapsed and fell from a quarry wall onto the Bluff Line railroad tracks a mile north of Alton at 4 a. m. to- aay. John Mitchell, a fisherman living rearby, ran to Alton and notified the railroad agent, who stopped a north- bound freight train which came through half an hour later. Mitchell then went back to the quarry and stood guard the remainder of the night with a lan- tern and flagged two southbound trains. JOBS FOR ALL $10,000 MEN Theodore N.

SEVENTH DAY OF TRIAL Arguments Between Judge Kim- mel and Prosecutor Have De- layed Taking of Evidence. Circuit Judge Kimmel this morn- ing considered the advisability of or- dering a mistrial in the arson cases of Julius R. Bersch, Harold G. Gil- more and Harry C. Imel, which have been on trial for a week. This action was taken following the receipt, by three of the jurors, of anonymous let- ters attacking the Judge and the de- fendants. Judge Kimmel, in chambers, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he had no objection to the text of the letters be- ing printed in the Post-Dispatch. ‘‘The letters will be made a matter of pub- lic record,” Judge Kimmel said. “TI have just read them to Britt (the court stenographer) and they will be read into the record.”” The text of the letters, which were identical in phrase- ology, follows: “This is a time when your man- hood is tested. Do not permit the crooked Judge to influence you, You are trying a set of the biggest crooks amongst firebugs.”’ fiet Letters at Homes. The letters were received by the three jurors at their homes, when they re- turned there yesterday from the trial. The jurors receiving the letters were La- ser Hess of 6164 Berlin avenue, Ward Lee of 3625 Blain avenue and Daniel H. Mack of 4626 Labadie avenue. Each letter was typewritten. The names of the jurors appeared only on the envelopes, which were postmarkea t 3:30 p. m. yesterday at Central Sta- tion. The three jurors handed the letters to Judge Kimmel, when the seventh ses- sion of the trial started this morning. The Judge read them, and passed then: | to Vital W. Garesche, one of the at- torneys for the defense. After reading them, Garesche returned the letters to the Judge, and to newspaper reporters said: ‘“‘This is damnable.” Judge Kimmel permitted reporters to copy the letters at his desk, and later passed them to other attorneys for the defense and for the State. Circuit Attorney Harvey asked per- mission to‘look up law points, to see what effect the receipt of such letters by jurors would have upon the trial. The jury was sent to its room, and considerable time was taken by the Judge and attorneys on both sides in looking up precedents. ‘Judge’s Comment on Letters. When a reporter asked Judge Kimmer for comment upon the incident of the receipt of the letters by the jurors, the Judge said: “They speak for themselves. I have never heard of letters of their character being sent to jurors in all the time that I have been practicing law.’’ The Judge then read to the reporter decisions bearing on influences being brought on juries, and indicated that he would order a mistrial. There was discussion, among counsel for the State, as to whether the order ot a mistrial under such circumstances would preclude the retrial of the three defendants, on the ground that once having been placed in jeopardy they could not be tried again.

VON PAPENS SEURETARY 19 HELD AS CANAL PLO He Fights Four Federal Agents, in Recalled German Military Attache’s Former Office. CALLS ARREST ILLEGAL Aided by Employe and Is Sard to Have Been Subdued Only With Revolvers. NEW YORK, April 18.—Wolfe von [gel, secretary of Franz von Papen, for- mer military attache to the German embassy, was «arrested here today in Capt. von Papen’s former office at 60 Wall street, vfter a fist fight with four agents -of the Department of Justice. Von Igel is the fifth of the men indict- ed yesterday, including Von Papen. charged with conspiracy to blow up the Welland Canal. Von Igel's nare had been withheld by the Federal authorities pending his ar- rest. When the four agents of the De- partment of Justice entered his office today he was assisted in resisting then: by George von Skaal, an employe. Von Igel, before he war overpowered, suc- ceeded in reaching @ safe tn the far corner room, banging the door shut and turning the combiration. He was not subdued, the Federal agents said, until they pointed revolvers at him. He then declared he was on Germany territory and that the United States authorities had no right to invade that territory. “Go ahead and shoot,”’ his captors re- ported that he said. “It will only cause war between the United States and Ger- many. You have nc right to invade this office. It is German territory. These are Russian methods.” Arraignment Postponed. Von Igel made a similar statement when taken hetore Judge Howe to be arraigned. Lacxiny a lawyer, he was told by the Court that his arraignment would be postponed until later, when his plea that he had been illegal'y arrested could be formally entered. Von Igel was detained in the Federal building in the meantime in tne custody of the Federal officers. His assistant, Von Skaal, attempted during the pro- ceedings to get Cuunt von Sernstorff, the German Ambassador at Washington, on the telephone. He did not have the telephone number and after the operator had vainly tried ‘o ascertain it, the cali was canceled. According to Assistant United Siates Attorney Roger B. Wood, Von Igel has been in charge of Von Papen's office since his departure. He has been paid at the rate of $238 2 month, Wood said, through Knaucn, Nachod & Kuhne, Map Showing Points Where th Ss.

The letter, dated Sept. 4, 1914, is writ- ten on the letterhead of Capt. H. Tauscher, representative of Krupps in this country, and husband of Mme.

FUNSION LONDON, April 17.—An indication that the Cabinet members had been unable to agree on the conscription question was furnished by an official announcement that Premier Asquith would not make his expected announcenfient in the House of Commons today on the subject. The decision came as a complete sur- prise to those not within the inner cir- but it later transpired that nego- in progress during WASHINGTON, April nounced that there was no change ernment’s policy. a matter of information.

CAMP OF GEN. PERSHING, April 17, by motor and wireless to Colum- tus, N. M., April 18.—The American pursuit of Villa is -t a stancstill be- cause of the unprovoked attack upon American cavalrymen by the insub- ordinate soldiers of the Carranza gar- rison at Parral. At Gen. Pershing’s headquarters there seems no pros- pect of the resumption of the ohaée, while there are numerous indications that a continuation of the pursuit would meet with armed resistance, A small party of American offi- cers was fired upon near here last night, none of the Americans being injured. This, coming on the heels of the other reports of sniping, is re- sponsible for tne belief that the ex- peditionary command is confronted with a serious problem. The report received here from Car- ranza soldiers that a Villa Colonel, captured near Cusihuirachic, had promised to lead a party to a grave in which Villa was said to have been buried last Friday, is generally dis- credited by military authorities here. Army officers here today stated that Maj. Thompkins received a written threat from Gen. Lozangp, commander of the Carranza garrison at Parral, that the American troops would be attacked if they advanced to the city. Accord- ing to the same officers, the fight art Parral was the result of treacher;, Ma,.

By Associated Press. : SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 20,= ff Francisco Villa is not dead he hag ‘ah excellent opportunity to escape in tergle tory far beyond the most advanced’ the American detachments, because American expedition has penetrated about as far south as it Is going to go with the present organization. Official admission that it was impossible to ex- tend the main line of communication south of Satevo was taken today to mean that the fleld of operations would be restricted to that district over which detachments of cavalry, with provisions for one or two days, could ride. Beyond the are of that fan Villa would be safe, so far as the Americans are concerned. Gen. Pershing is believed to have €x- plained in detail this phase of the situa. at 3 - ¥ tion in a report to Gen. Funston and to have made recommendations that more effective facilities for the pursuit or Villa be authorized. Must Depend on Quartermasters, The drive of the three cavalry columns to Parral and its environs established the fact that there is no chance of 6b- taining provisions in that region amd that every force sent forward must get supplies wholly from the quartermasters with the main column. They were re- ported to have fallen back to Satevo, Officers here regard the Parral inei- dont as indicating clearly that Gen. Per- shing’s men have to guard themselves not only against attack by Villa's men, but by those detachments of Carranza’s army that are antagonistic to his atti- tude of co-operation. Gen. Funston sent messages today asking that a report be made to him at onee on the unofficial rumor that” « trainload of forage, shipped from Juarez to Chihuahua and intended for the American troops, had been seized by the Carranza authorities. The arrival of some of the supplies sent to Chihuahua has been reported, but no advices thar they had reached the army had been received. Pershing Report Tells of Ville, The latest reporte received from dier-General Pershing, in which to Secretary Lansing by the Mexican embassy here, In his dispatches, Gen. Carranza used the incident to support his crgument for withdrawal of the American troops, saying that his own forces had tried to stop the firing. Nothing to support that is contained in the American advices, beyond the fact that the Mexican mili- tary commander personally made suca an effort with his men, who appear tv have been doing most of the shooting. Secretary Baker laid before the Cabi- net long reports from Gen. Funston, re- viewing the whole situation on the bor- der and in Mexico. From the State Department the Presi- cent and the Cabinet received an out- line of the diplomatic steps taken or contemplated since the Carranza (ov- ernment urged the withdrawal of Amer- ican troops. Gen. Funston’s dispatches came last night and are the fullest discussion of his problems he has submitted. The, contain no mention of the reported ceath of Villa. That was the only hint of their contents Secretary Baker would reveal. The substance of the inessages, the Secretary said, was be- yond the realm of public discussion at Besides the Cabinet meeting there was a conference of the special com- mittee appointed to make a final cf- fort to bring about a solution of the problem, but, like the Cabinet, it was unable to reach an agreement, and x» postponement of the Premier's state- ment became imperative, unless an im- mediate breakup of the coalition was to be faced. Lloyd George for Conscription. The special committee consisted of David Lloyd George, the Minister of Munitions, who, putting all his old prifciples behind him, has come out strongly for compulsory service for al men of military age; Field Marshal ors would not have been permitted to go to their homes, after sessions of court, but would have been kept to- gether under the guard of a Deputy Sheriff. But last Friday afternoon, after Judge Kimmel had falled to hold court in the morning on account of illness, the Court suggested that the jurors be- permitted to reparate and go to their executive order issued by President Wilson. Two important changes are made: First, that the certificate of the Clerk of a State court as to the identity of an applicant will not be accepted if a Federal court is within easy access. Second, that only such state courts as under existing law are privileged to grant applications for a naturalization will be recog- nized as qualified to certify to the identity of passport applicants.

GREEK KING’S DIVINE RIGHT | IS ASSAILED BY VENIZELOS Former Premier Resents Interference in Liberal Meetings—Says Recent Election Was Farce, Majority Overridden. ATHENS, April 18.—The Liberal morn- ing papers comment bitterly on the ac- dion of the police during the rioting Sun- day, while the Government organs throw the blame on the Liberals’ It is announced that Liberal meetings will be resumed after Easter, the Liberal party meanwhile taking action against the police authorities for allowing, it 1s alleged, the presence at their meetings of agents whose object was to provoke riotous events. “TI beg you to bring the events of yes- terday and the earnest protest of a ma- jority of Greeks to the knowledge of the American people, who have struggled for sotong to establish free speech as the fundamental right of free peoples,’’ said ex-Premier Venizelos to the Asso- ciated Press. “‘Here in Greece we are confronted by the question whether we are to have a democracy, presided over by a King, or whether, at this hour in our history, we must accept the doctrine of the divine right of kings. Election Called a Farce. “The present Government represents in no sense the majority of the Hellenic people. We Liberals twice within a year received the vote of a majority. At the last election, which was nothing more than a burlesque of the free exercise of the right of suffrage, we were not will- ing to participate in a farcical formality where, owing to the mobilization, it would have been possible. Indeed, :t was the Government's intention to keep the Liberal voters with the colors and not allow them to cast their ballots, while their opponents would be given every facility tocrush the Liberal party by a vote which could not have repre- sented more than a small minority of the Greek people. “We refuse to take part in this sinis- ter comedy. The present Government of Greece is, therefore, nowise represent- ative, and we Liberals have left to us cnly our right of free speech and free assemblage, guaranteed by the Consti tution, as the sole means of taking counsel among ourselves; of trying tv enlighten the population of the country and perhaps of exercising a pacific pressure of the will of the majority upon a Government not representing the majority. “Now it is even sought to deny us this. The meetings organized by the Liberal party were not even those free and open ones to which we have our right. Our meetings were held in in- closed buildings. Those who came to cut our doorkeepers, put in their own! and let enter whomsoever they, the pu- lice, wanted to be present at our meet- ings. “It is a denial of every constitutional liberty. You, yourself, have witnessed with what patience we Liberals—a ma- jority of the Greek people—have sub- mitted for months to a Government which is nowise constitutional. Insists on People’s Rights. “The mamgnt has come when the po- sition of the highest functionary, which every King of the Hellenes ought to occupy, must so strictly be defined that it will forever be impossible to raise again the question of the divine right of kings in Greece; it will forever be impossible for any Government, hiding behind the person of the sovereign, to arrogate to itself rights which reside only in the whole Hellenic people. “Understand me. I am not talking in any sense of the possibility of a re- public in Greece. I insist only on our rights—our constitutional rights, our rights as free people which ourselves we have gained by the force of arms and which we have no intention te abandon.”’ Sir EdWardgd Grey Explains Measures Taken in Greek Territory. LONDON, April 18.—Moasures taken by the entente allied govern- ments in Greek territory, in Greek territorial waters ang which Greece has protested, followed as a natural consequence from the decision to send an expedition to help Séervia, a decision which was arrived at in the first instance at the request of Greece herself, said Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Secretary, in the House of Commons today. The Foreign Secretary's statement was made in reply to a series of questions as to whether protests had beén received from Greece: whether an invitation to send assistance was received from the then Premier of Greece, and after the change of Gov- ernment and policy of Greece. He added that the allies could not re- cede from the undertaking they had given. Corfu was the nearest place of refuge for the Servians, he said, so they were sent there, and their presence on the island and of the al- lied forces at Saloniki made it neces- sary to take certain precautions on Greek islands to protect the land forces and shipping from German submarines operating in the Aegean Sea. them were invited, but the police threw o~—- --—_ a | British Cabinet Still Divided as to Conscription Continued From Page One. difficult position.

He has, therefore, continued to support Premier Asquith, who declared when it was de- cided to force all the single men into the army that he would go no further in the direction of conscription. With the ex- ception of Earl Curzon, the Unionist members of the Cabinet have followed Law, but should a majority of the Un- ionists in the House of Commons vote for a conscription resolution, Law, as leader of the party, necessarily would resign his portfolio. There is virtually a full attendance of members, the party leaders having made a special effort to bring this about. Even members serv- ing in the army and navy have returned to town, as far as possible, for the sit- ting.

Owners using these tires are requested to notify immediately upon theft of their car the nearest branch or agency of the Pennsylvania Tire Co., giving the serial numbers of their tires. Steps to trace and recover the stolen property promptly will be taken. Results gained so far by this method are said to have proven its efficiency, the number of cars returned reaching a high percent- age. This system having been extended to cover the entire country, Pennsylva- nia tire users have become enthusiastic regarding this added safeguard.

NEW YORK, April 18.—The familys and friends of Miss Dorothy Arnold found neither hope nor comfort in the story of Edward Glennorris, a convict at Cranston, R. I., purporting to solve the mystery of Miss Arnold's disappear- ance more than five years ago. Glen- norris said that the missing girl was buried in the cellar of a house outside West Point, N. Y., where she died in Lecember, 1910, after being brought thers unconscious from New Rochelle, N. Y. He said that he helped bury her body. The members of the Arnold family and the attorney whom they employed to run down “iundreds of false clews, unii- ed in disbelief of the convict’s story. The attorney today pointed out several rea- sons why he believed the last clew was not worth investigation. CONDE A, BENOIST, 69, DIES Conde A.

Exception is made, however, for enemy passenger steamers (liners), which, for the reasons of humanity, are no. sunk even in the war zone, without warning and only after the saving of the lives of passengers and crew. “2. Regarding neutral ships: Germany respects both the rights of neutrals and the principles of humanity—that is neun- tral merchantmen are sunk only if they carry contraband and cannot be wrought into port by a prize crew. No neutYal ship is sunk without previously deter- mining her identity and cargo and only after the saving of the lives of the pas- sengers and crew. This also applies tu néutral ships in the war zone. "3. Germany takes into consideration the principles of humanity, inasmuch as she never sinks enemy passenger steam- ers (liners) without warning, and only after the saving of the lives of passen- gers and crew. Asa portion of the ene- my passenger steamers, however, are armed, and as the English admiralty or- ders which were found on British ships are published in the German memoran- dum of Feb. 8, give every reason to ex- pect that they will use their armament for offensive purposes, it is possible a naval fight may occur between such armed passenger boats and the German naval forces. For this reason it is ad- visable for neutral passengers to avoid traveling on armed enemy passenger boats. “4, In order to maintain international passenger traffic of neutrals, the Ger- man Government several months ago suggested entering into negotiations with neutral Governments and designa- ted as absolutely safe certain specially marked neutral steamers which would follow certain routes previously agreed upon. See the note handed to the Ame-- ican Ambassador, June 8, 1915.” GREATER MUNITION EFFORTS ARE NEEDED THOMAS TELLS FRAN" “We Must Equal the Effort of Menac- ing, Sleeplcss Enemy,” He Says at Creosote Works. PARIS, April 18.—A warning that France must make still greater effcrts was given by Albert Thomas, the Mu- nitions Minister, in an address yos‘er- day at the Creusot works. Thonias praised the efforts of the workers and continued: “But these efforts, great as they are, are still insufficient. The enemy had a considerable advantage over us which we perhaps have not yet regained. ( er- tainly our armies, thanks to you. are today well provided with munitions, but you know how the enemy, with his methodical disciplined organizations has constantly increased his strength. “It is your task to continue, to sur- pass our production and with the help of our allies to equal the effcrt of tne menacing, mogpens enemy.” ANTI-KAMNIA (A-K) TABLETS.

HOUSE PASSES WEST POINT BILL Second of Preparedness Measures to Go to Conference at Once. WASHINGTON, April 18.—A bill doutling the number of cadets at the West Point Military Academy, the second of the preparedness measures to go through both branches of Con- gress, was passed by the House yes- terday after it had been amended to eliminate a section which would have authorized the President to fill va- cancies at the beginning of a scholas- tic year from the alternates whose principals had entered. A similar bill doubling the personnel at the naval academy was -signed by the Presi- dent severa] weeks ago. The bill will go at once to confer- ence. ———————— EARLY MORNING FATIGUE When you awake in the morning feel- ing tired out, feeling worse in fact than when you went to bed, you are con- fronted with one of the characteristic symptoms of neurasthenia. It is due to the run-down condition of the nerves that rest does not bring renewed strength and sleep refresh the tired brain. Overwork and worry are the most frequent causes of this condition. Neurasthenia is the name given to this common form of nervous debility in which the power to recuperate is gone. The blood can be built up so that it will increase the su ply of needed ele- ments to the wasted herves, and this is the only way that the nerves can be reached. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a tonic that especially build up the nerves because they supply to the blood the elements that the nerves need. Many nervous disorders, sometimes chronic ones, have yielded to this tonic treatment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills when other methods failed to give re- lief. They are certainly worth a trial. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by druggists everywhere or will be sent by mail postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by -the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec- tady, N. ¥.

OS ante + ee USHER AND MEEKER INBRISK EXCHANGE OF NOTES ON PORK Professor Also Includes Con- gressman’s Attitude Toward Preparedness in His Criticism “Pork” and preparedness are the themes of briskly worded letters which have been exchanged »y Prof. Roland G. Usher of Washington Uni- versity, author of “Pan-Germanism,” and Representative Jacot EB. Meeker of the Tenth District. Prof. Usher’s letter, finding fault with Meker’s acts and attitude as a Congressman, was made public by Meeker in Washington according to dispatches. It is as follows: During your recent campaign you had a great deal to say about representing your constituents. I beg to inform yoy that you are not successfully d@fRg it. We are in favor of adequate preparedness out here and do not aprove of the Hay bill nor of pork and other forms of graft. The Shields bf) is a particularly bad example, and I do not know anybody out here who does not want you to vote against it. I hope your sec- retary will put this into your ear whic you are laying to the ground this morning. There is a loud noise here, and I hope you hear it. Hay Bill’ im Senate. The Hay bill, which is in the Senate after having been passed by the House, ic a measure for increasing the regular ermy to a strength of 170,000. Chair- man Hay of the House Military Com- mittee declared that the bill had Presi- dent Wilson’s approval. The Shields bill provides that permits for the use of water power on navigable streams shali be issued, for terms up to 50 years, by the Secretary of War, and that at the ends of these terma, water power plants may be taken over by the Government at a fair valuation. The Senate has, passed this bill, and it is before the House. Meeker, in his reply to Prof. Usher, said he had not yet had a chance to vote on the Shields bill, and hoped that his vote would satisfy even Prof. Ush- er. He asked that Prof. Usher point ou* a “‘pork’’ measure for which he (Meek- er) had voted, and urged Prof. Usher, instead of abstract agitation for a big army, to use his ability as a speaker and writer to get young men to enlist in the army. The problem of getting even 20,000 new enlistments is a se- rious one, Meeker wrote, quoting from a conversation he had with Adjutant- General McCain. What MeCaig Said. “He said to me,’’ Meeker wrote, ‘‘that the proneness of citizens to send letters and telegrams urging big armies on pa- per, while those same men are doing little or nothing toward getting just 20,000 new enlistments, is such as to make army officers sit down and think.”” Meeker said he had voted for “everything in sight looking toward Freparedness, except the Kahn amend- ment.”’ The Kahn amendment, which was de- feated in the House, would have altered the Hay bill so as to provide for an army of 220,000. This is practically up tc the strength provided by the Cham- berlain measure, in the Senate. Those Plate Dinners at the Boston, li N. Broadway, are well worth 2c. Served from 11 a. m. to 3:30 p. m.

Sixty "members of the St. Louis ‘Bird Club visited St. Louis parks Saturday for observations of birds. The reports of the group leaders gave a total of 35 tirds observed. These included 11 kinds not observed on a previous excursion. In Tower Grove Park were seen plen- ty of crested titmouse and house wron. The cowbird and chewink abounded in Shaw’s Garden, while in Forest Park th» chewink, purple martin, white breasted nuthatch, vesper sparrow, myr- tle warbler, red-headed woodpecker, blue-gray gnatcatcher and Bewich's wren were observed. The latter were seen in one of the brush heaps which are collected for curnine after the tree pruning period. The club suggests that some of these brush heaps left in out of the way places would prove beneficial for the birds and would encourage then to re- main in the parks permanently. Birds were seen entering and leaving holes in old stumps, indicating that nest-making time has come. The bird fanciers say that such attractive birds as the woodpecker, the titmouse and tne bluebird are forced to leave localities where dead limbs and hollow stumps are systematically removed, for the want of a haven. They will advocate the retention in parks of a part of the decayed trees as nesting places for the birds. . Busy Bee Bakery Special This Week. Caramel Roll Coffee Cake, 2c Each. PLEADS GUILTY 10 ARSON Kensas Man Accused of Plotting to Kil Aged Farmer Sentenced. RUSSELL, Kan., April 18.—A plea of guilty to arson by J. W. Hullinger has resulted in his receiving an inde- terminate sentence of from one to five years in the penitentiary. Hul- linger, under the name of Wilbert Rock, wrote code letters to the young wife of David Phillips, an aged farmer, in which th: death of Phil- lips was plotted. Hullirger and Mrs. Phillips both say the letters were a joke. Hulling- er’s niea of xviltv was to firing the haystacks of another farmer, who ig- neored black hanigdemands for money. ” e > he » - - ¢ * ey Me Oe ee tee : "4 - ne . | 3 RPA!

Jacob EB. Meeker, who represents the district, and Fred EsS8en, Republican boss of St. “Louis County, are candidates for the nomination.. Bartholdt said he did not wish to make the race, as he felt that he has had enough political honors, but that the pressure upon him io run was so great that he might have to yield. A large portion of the German popu- lation of St. Louis is in the Tenth Dis- trict, which takes in the German-popu- lated wards of both North and South St. Louis and St. Louis County, where there is also a considerable German population.

He was especially impressed with the work of the Open-Air School, 5436 Nat- ural Bridge avenue, for anemic and un- der-nourished children. ‘‘This school,” he said, ‘‘is the best of its kind in the country, so far as I know. It is. wisely planned and economically administered, to give its pupils a start in health, and at the same time a start in educa- tion. “Its work should be extended through- out the city, and this could be done, at comparatively small expense, by con- verting one room in each building into an open-air room. This would not re- quire new construction, but only an en- largement of window space. The room should be open on two sides, and if the location will permit, on three sides. Heat Necessary at Times. “Heat will be necessary on some days, and so the heating arrangements need not be changed, but in some buildings the open-air room will have to be cut out of the ventilation arrangement, so as not to upset the ventilation of the other rooms. The open-air room should preferably be on an upper floor.”’ Dr. Hatfield said the treatment of tu- berculosis in St. Louis’ private institu- tions was very favorably spoken of else- where. He mentioned Mount St. Rose Hospital, which is for tuberculosis pa- tients, as an institution of high stand- ing, and he commended the method used at the new Barnes Hospital. “Perhaps the most effective modern way of treating tuberculosis,” he said, “is to set aside part of a general hos- pital, as has been done at Barnes Hos- pital, with sleeping porches. There is no danger of infection to other patients, and the needed medical supervision is at hand. “While St. Louis has a good record in treating tuberculosis in private institu- tions, I am informed that it is not pro- viding its municipal health authorities with proper facilities, either in legisla- tion or in appropriations. This, it seems to me, must be the reason why St. Lous, which is one of the healthiest cities in the country, with a very low general death rate, does not make a good show- ing in the matter of its death rate from tuberculosis. 27 inches wide, Action by Business Men. in the new Spring “The business men of St. Louis might shades, ideal for profitably take up this matter.

The health officers should be author- ized to place dangerous cases of tuber- culosis in hospitals, and to keep them there. This would require more munici- pal hospital facilities, more dispensaries, clinics and visiting nurses. It would also require the consideration of sani- tation and housing, and the increase of open-air school facilities, to fortify chil- dren against the disease.’’ GOVERNOR AND U.

Chrystal Herne made a favorable im- pression in her first appearance at the Park Theater last night, in H. H. Da- vies’ play, “Cousin Kate.” The play is talky and its plot is obvious, but it has one good love scene, in the second act, and this was well handled by Miss Herne and Mitchell Harris. He had the rather difficult role of an Irish artist. The play is called a comedy, but the element of comedy is subordinated until the last act, when the play ends in a manner that is happy to the verge of hilarity. Marie Prather played the part of a perfect goose, and Stanley James was the locum-tenens, which, as everyone knows, means a supply minister. Henry Hull and Loretta Wells had the other speaking parts, the play requiring so small a cast that two capable members of the Players are left out of it. , aayety. “Sport- Aryan” and ws |. = aw eee we, yr eS wu [s VIRGINIA MERRYMAN, daughter of Mrs. Florence Mer- ryman of 5935 West Cabanne place, and Wiley R.

HANGING OF JUDAS FASTER SIGHT FOR TROOPS IN MEICO Odd Custom Is Practiced Many Cities in Chihuahua On Coming Saturday. in SALOON IS SCENE Effigy Is Lowered From Upper Window by Rope Stretched Across Street. 18.—'‘Chihua- as WASHINGTON, April hua City is, figuring with almost much persistence in the news dispatches of today as did Vera Cruz during the ‘Tampico incident,’ yet the average American's only mental association with the name of the capital of the largest state in the Mexican republic is that ‘it’s the place the funny little dogs come from’,’”’ says a primer, issued by the National Geographic Society of Washington, which tells of the impor- tance of this city of 40,000 inhabitants, whose history antedates by more than a quarter Of a century the first perma- nent settlement made by Europeans in the United States, at St. Augustine, Fla., in 1566. “The march ‘f Gen. Pershing’s ex- peditionary force marks the third visit of a body of United States soldiers to this center of the mining industry of the State of Chihuahua, which is as large as the combined areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania,’’ continues the bul- letin. ‘‘During the Mexican war, tht unique Missouri lawyer, Col. A. W. Doniphan, captured the city with a force of less than 1000 men in 1847, and ix the same war it fell again before the Americans under Gen. Price. “It seems practically certain. that some of Gen. Pershing’s soldiers will spend Easter week in Chihuahua, where they will have an opportunity to wit- ness one of the oddest customs prac- ticed in any civilized country—the ‘hanging of Judas’ on Saturday before Easter Sunday. This ceremony is performed in many cities, and usually takes place before a pulque saloon. A rope is stretched from an upper window, of the saloon to a building across the street. It is lowered and an effigy, a curious affair, usually with a grotesque nose, like our comic valentines, a high hat and a long-tail coat, is tied to it. Then the rope is drawn taut as soon as a match has been applied to the coat-tail fuse. The crowd assembles as_ the figure burns. Suddenly there is a loud explo- sion as the fuse burns to the center of the figure, and a wild scramble fol- ‘ows for the hat, or the shoes, or per- haps the coat—a prize for some lucky onlooker.”’ 2° the 23,191 mining properties listed in Mexico in 1906 five-sixths of them produce silver and of these the Santa Eulalie, 12 miles outside Chihuahua, is the most famous. It has produced as high as 20,000 tons of silver-bearing ore a month. The handsome parish church in the capital, which was in the course of construction for three-quarters of a century, was built from a tax levied on the output of this mine. “While the mining industry in the ter- ritory contiguous to Chihuahua City is four times as important as the agricul- tural interests, nevertheless the raising of corn, fruits and c On is important, and an interesting feature of the last- named product is that its manufacture into cloth dates back to the days of Cor- tez, who sent to his sovereign, the Kinz of Spain, some of the finely woven ma- terial from the land which utilized cot- ton for clothing even before Europe knew its uses. ‘“‘Legends of the their sacred books, zalcohuatl, god of the air, grew cotton of . colors in his garden, and taught its many uses. As to colored cotton, the Mexicans have never felt the pinch of a dyestuff famine, at least red dye- stuff, for this country is the home of the cochineal, that odd insect, whose dried bodies urnish such a wonderful and last- ing scarlet coloring matter. It was not until 1708, the very year in which the Spanish settlers reached the present site of Chihuahua City and discovered the Santa Eulalie mine, that it became known that cochineal was not a seed or bloom of a plant attached to the cochi- neal fig, but a bug. “In some parts of Chihuahua cotton {s perennial and it is unnecessary to plant it oftener than once every 10 years.

Toe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, By a vote of nearl.- 3 to 1, Jefferson County today adopted a bond issue of $500,000 for road and bridge purposes. An editorial in the Post- Dispatch during the progress of the campaign re- ferred to Jefferson County as being “In the Spot- light.” We are glad to report that Jefferson Coun- ty has acted her part in a way to share the plau- dits enjoyed by our sister county following the adoption of a $3,000,000 bond issue. We want to thank the Post-Dispatch for the generous space devoted to the good roads cam- paign in Jefferson County. The chairman of the Publicity Committee of the St. Louis county good roads organization, Fred Essen of Clayton, ren- dered invaluable service by “ironing out wrinkles at arbitration meetings,” where all voters opposed to the proposed bond issue were invited to par- ticipate in the discussions. We feel that the dis- tance between the beautiful and productive Ozark A EE TE ROOSEVELT’S HECKLING. One of the best comments on the Roosevelt Presidential campaign comes from a New York brokerage firm. It is in a letter sent to custo- mers in the ordinary course of business by A. A. Houseman & Co. The letter says: If a majority of the people of this country had not been with Mr. Wilson wishing to re- ° main at peace with the world, we should long ago have entered the war. There have been occasions enough for a warlike people. We are, by preference, a peaceful people. We have, so far, avoided the occasions and we are still at peace, and we should no doubt, be able to go steadily on in that way, but for the psychological necessities of politically ambitious men needing “issues.” The best and easiest way for us to get into the war is to submit our foreign relations to the turmoil and passion of party politics. See what is already happening. Mr. Roosevelt re- quires an issue on which to appeal to the emo- tions of the people. He assumes an heroic pose. He pitches into Mr. Wilson for having pursued a policy of peace wherein there was sacrificed, according to Mr. Roosevelt, certain precious American phrases touching national rights, honor and dignity. Now, if you ask Mr. Roosevelt what policy he would pursue—that is, what he would do if he were President—he only redoubles his denunciations of the Administration. Would he declare war? No; he would embrace any honorable expedient to avoid war; but he would not sacrifice the moral physical well- being of his country. That is as far as he will go and as far as Mr. Wilson has gone over and over, having used the identical phrases. They say the same things and, apparently, mean the same things, and, yet, Mrs Roosevelt, taunting the Administration with having behaved weakly, produces a nervous effect at Wash- ington, and there is more and more an inclina- tion to prove the taunt unfounded by taking a stiffer tone in foreign negotiations. Stiffer tones produce an effect of irritation abroad and cause responsive phrases to become hard and uncompromising. There arises an impres- sion on one side that the other is determined to humiliate its national pride and, on the other, a belief that war is desired, and so in- creases the danger. Over phrases, we have been nearer to a breaking point with Germany in the last ten days than ever was the case on account of the Lusitanta. It is anybody’s right of opinion to say we should or should not have gone into the war on any one of the several bold and clear cut issues that have existed since the beginning; Eut, surely, everybody will agree that we should not be teased and dared and heckled into it for purposes of party politics. This is a clear and correct statement of the political situation and an excellent analysis of Roosevelt’s attitude and conduct in relation to it. = = ~~ WHIOH COUNTY NEXT? The success of the good roads bond issue in Jefferson County proves that the spirit of prog- ress started by St. Louis County is moving through the State. The result of the election—the second on the issue of good roads—reflects credit on the people. of Jefferson County. : This new victory should be only the forerun- ner of fresh campaigns in other counties. The radius of good roads around St. Louis should be extended to the farthest boundaries of the State. The work in St. Louis and Jefferson counties makes campaigning for good roads bonds easier. It blazes the way. It shows the men at the head of the good roads movement how to organize; how to conduct a campaign of education and how to bring out the vote. It gives them a stock of irre- sistible arguments. In a measure each campaign has an educationa) and stimulative influence on the people of other counties and thus contributes to the success of the next. Which county will be the next to fall in line? | Jeff to treat the Czar as one of them while he is in their company. If it will make the cartoons more enjoyable to Mr. Hess, he may consider that the Czar is traveling incog with his chums —-as everybody knows, when royalty is incog it is out for a high old time. = = i i A THEFT OF AUTOMOBILES. The revelation, in the Lewis case, of the uses to which stolen automobiles may be put by des- perate thieves makes the problem of prevention of automobile theft of pressing importance. The Post-Dispatch has urged owners to take every known precaution in securing cars when left on the street. But auto thieves are frequently clever mechanics, and tricks are known to many of them that make all such precautions futile. Unless a car is actually watched, a thief may cut a chain on the wheels, cross wires sc as to secure igni- tion in spite of a locked switch box and even run off with a car by the use of a can of gasoline and a length of rubber tube, when the gasoline tank has been disconnected. Theft of automobiles is increasing in every big city. In Philadelphia last year over 750 were stolen. In St. Louis in the same year 582 were stolen, an increase of more than 100 per cent over 1914. It is impractical to have every machine watched. But if all precautions in the way of se- curing a car have been taken, the conclusion must be that the thief has made preparations that entitle him to be classed as a dangerous crim- inal. He is not merely making away with some- thing easy to take. He is equipped as is the burglar or highwayman. To treat him as a fool- ish first offender and parole him after conviction is a mistake. He has made himself a willful en- emy of society. The capture of the two auto bandits at St. Charles, following so closely on the Lewis reve- lations, will furnish an opportunity to teach auto- mobile thieves a lesson they will not soon forget. == a Nothing is easier than to plunge a country into war. It is a statesman’s job to keep the peace. = = * rw Uw ROCKEFELLER’S SALOON. Did your heart bleed, Gentle Reader, when you read this news of how the Standard Oil King “took over” a poor man’s saloon? NEW YORK, April. 17.—John Melin, the Sleepy Hollow inn keeper who defied John D. Rockefeller for years, was buried Sunday from the almshouse. John Melin years ago owned a corner plot in Sleepy Hollow, opposite the entrance to the Rockefeller estate. He had conducted a saloon there for years before Rockefeller came to Pocantico Hills, and refused to sell. Rockefeller bought all the property around Melin, he put in as tenants men employed on his estate and issued an order that none should patronize Melin. The result was that Melin lost his business and finally went to the almshouse, Rockefeller finally got the property. Of course he got it. And who can say but that this is the beginning of another monopoly, or a string of Rockefeller saloons? If beer goes up a cent a gallon every few days we shall know whom to suspect. Also, if gasoline is served over the bar. i, A The leaping prices may suggest to the cautious an elevation of the study of home economies. = = = — DOGGER BANK AND SUSSEX CASES. Sterling E.

A thin, sickly, little man entered one of the stores in one of our small towns recently and quietly seated himself on a convenient chair. One of the clerks approached and asked if he wished to purchase anything, “Oh, no,” said the man, “I just dropped in for a few minutes.” After half an hour had passed,.the manager of the store, be- coming curious, approached him and asked what could be done for him. “Why, nothing that I know of,” said the man.- “You see I have nervous prostration, and the doctor told me to stay in a quiet place. Noticing that you do not advertise I thought this would be about the quietest place I could find.” We decided not to read baseball this year, and from expressions upon people’s faces coming down this morning, we imagine we have not made a mistake. It is a great pity that the Republican faith is not a religion. It would not'then have to have a leader on earth. There is one respect in which we all agree with Mr. Ford.

He had come back with a comfortable capital, to take charge of a large produce busi- ness. He was a gentleman, and hand- some. It was certainly a ‘good chance for Lucy. . Among those who had ventured to hint at what was expected to be an- nounced was Dorothy Field. Five years younger than Lucy, she had never been a close friend of hers. Yet she had come in and taken the elder woman by the hands and gravely, very gravely, said: “T hope you and Arnold will be very happy.” And Lucy remembered vague talk about a one-time passion between the two. She had wondered; she had been troubled. “Don’t make the mistake I-—the mis- take so many women make,” Dorothy continued. “Don’t—don’t let you* ‘pride’’—— Suddenly there were tears in her eyes ’ end she ran out of the house. And Ar- c > P gun. nolé, coming in, had met Dorothy at the gate. | That was all. It had happened a week before, and Lucy had seen Arnold sev- eral times since. They were discussing the announcement. Lucy had not loved - rnold so very much until he asked her y, marry him; she had even wondered “whether she would accept him; but when he spoke she felt a rush of ten- derness in her heart and knew that she loved Arnold with all her soul. Lucy Overhears. EH had been just the same since H that evening, and yet—Lucy won- dered whether she had really dil- vined that the old passion for Doro- thy had been stirred again. Or whether it was imagination. She left the house and walked down the leafy street, still musing. Arnold was to cal] that night, and they were to make the arrangements. There were two hours, and a sense of the irrevoca- ble nature of the impending meeting came strongly over the woman. Min- gled with this, and with the wonder about Dorothy, came a vague sense of futility. She had been engaged twico before, in girlhood, and each time it had been broken off by her. When Arnold asked her to marry him she had felt in- ‘stinctively that it would come to noth- ing. Suddenly she stopped dead. Arnold Was speaking. ‘‘My dear’’—— he had be- She thought that he had come upon her unaware, that he was speak- ing to her. But he was Jidden behind a laurel ‘'ghrubbery, and the sobbing answer to his words showed her that she was un- der a delusion. "My dear, I know,” he said. _““The woman spoke, and it was Dor- .

But you didn't care!” . “T did care, for a long time, Doro- thy,” he replied. ‘“‘But I thought you knew where I was.” _ “Did you think I would ask anyone?” demanded the girl. ‘I have some pride, Arnold.”’ “We both had too much,” he said quietly. The tone of hopeless despair In his voice came like a revelation tuo Lucy. She clasped her hands against her breast. Lucy Makes Up Her Mind. eT) O you love her?” resumed Dor. othy. ‘Tell me that, Arnold.” “I did love her. I had never forgotten you, Dorothy, but you had come to occupy a place’’— “A forgotten place!"’ “Never forgotten, but still put aside. Aghought there was no chance for the future. I was sure you had married happily. So I came back. I did not " meet you, and, like you, I would nat inquire about you. I thought you had left the town.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging. of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

ESSIE NORTON’S parents were the B very richest people in Franklin. But in spite of all this wealth, Bessie was lonely and unhappy. Her father was wrapped up in business, and her mother in society, and, as Bessie was an only child, she was left to her- self with nothing to do. She envied her two acquaintances, Lucy and Mary, whose fathers were not rich at all, who spent much of their time helping their mothers in their housekeeping and en- joyed their play the more for it. Sometimes Lucy would say to her, when she wanted her to join her at tenis: “I’m sorry, but I cannot play just yet. This is my morning to look over papa’s wardrobe.’”’ “Why don’t you have the sewing woman do that?’ Bessie once replied. “Why, we cannot afford to have a sewing women,’’ replied Lucy, ‘‘and even if we could I wouldn't let anybody in not show what was in his heart. “You-are sure, Lucy?’ he “You are sure this is not’’—— “Caprice? Oh, no, it is my disvov- ery of myself,’’ she answered. ‘“‘Good- night—and forgive me if you can.” As the door closed she saw the lone- ly years stretch out again in all their blackness.

Tc feel as fine as the proveroial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to prevent .ts sponge-like pores from clogging with indigestible mater‘al, bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician. If you get headaches, it’s your liver. If you catch cold easily, it’s your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes rancid, {t’s your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the/ most important, aiso the most abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, whicn is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumulates in the tis- gues, also attacks the bones. Every man and woman, sick or well, saould drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day’s indi- gestible -aaterial, the poisons, bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and freshening the entire ali- mentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Limestone phosphate does not re- strict “he diet like calomel, because it cannot salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything after- wards. It is inexpensive and al- most tasteless, end any pha cist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how hot water and limestone “phos- phate clvans, stimulates and fresh- ens the liver, keeping you feeling fii day in and dayyout.—AD\ el ag A the world attend to my father’s ciothing but my very self.” A she could do something for her father that he would appreciate that way. But at her home the servants did everything. One day, as she sat lonely by the window, her father came in looking very sad. He called Mrs. Norton and said: “It breaks my heart to tell you that I have lost the most of my fortune. We will have to give up this great house and all these servants and Iive in a cottage with only one servant; I cannot afford more. And Besste, dear, I fear you will have to help.” “Oh, I’m so glad!” cried Bessie, and noticing that her father looked shocked, , she said: “I do not mean I’m glad be- cause you have had your trouble, but because I can now be of some use. I know we will be much happier in the cottage, where he will be together and helping each other, than here in this reat house, with nothing to do.” And Bessie Jumped up and hugged her father and her mother with great squeezy hugs, as she had not done for years. O had come “to the cottage her father came home in the even- ing with eyes beaming. “T have hea a lucky business turn which makes me far richer than I ever was. be- fore,” he told his wife and daughter, “and now you can leave this little cottage and go back to live tn the great house with plenty of servanis ND Bessie wished in her heart that NE day about a year after they selves.” He looked at his wife, but she was looking out of the window; then he leeked at Bessie and saw tears in her eyes. “Oh, why do you want to leave the cottage here, where we have been so happy, and go back to that lonely house, where we will never see any- thing of each other or do things for one another as we have done here? I never knew what it was to really live and be useful until we came here.” “Why, bless my soul!” cried Mr. Norton, “I didn’t say I wanted to go back. I don’t; I want to stay right here, as we have been for a year. But I thought that you two wished to go back to the great house. I had rather live here with you than there with all the riches in the world.” “Then we will stay, daddy,” oried Bessie, giving him a great hug; “and I will keep your clothes so nice that you will be the handsomest man in the town.” Some New Recipes Indian Pudding: One-quarter cup Indian meal, 1-4 cup flour, 1-2 cup mo- lasses, 1-4 teaspoonful ginger, a little salt and butter, 2 eggs, 1 quart milk; mix all together, stir 2 or 3 times while baking, then add a little cold milk; do rot stir after that.

WHEN UMP MISSES STRIKE ON NESS Davenport Cuts Heart of’ the Plate, but Hildebrand Calls It a Ball. FIRST CHANCE TO ALIBI Five-Run Lead in First Three Rounds Turned Into 6-5 De- feat in 11 Innings. ' By W. J. O’Connor. Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dis- patch. CHICAGO, April 18.—This is the first opportunity we’ve had to alibi for the Browns and we look upon it moré as a duty than a task. The busi- ness as a whole is refreshing because if ever a ball club was entitled to defensive plea it is this same St. Louis American League Baseball Company, otherwise the Browns. In the ninth inning of yomercsy® game which was etched officially into the records as a Chicago victory, it came to pass that two men were out and Shano Collins, who is in the box score vice Eddie Murphy, a cripple, was resting on second base. Jack Ness, a pinch hitter was at bat with two strikes called, with the Browns leading 5—4. Davenport laboriously wound up and pitched one over dead center. Hartley gloved the catch and atarted for the bench. Sisler, Pratt. Lavan and Dea) also took it on the run believing that Ness had been called out on strikes. However Hildebrand, ump, didn’t budge. In time the Browns returned to de- termine what was detaining the um- pires. “I called that a ball,” said Hilde- brand to Hartley. a notorious you worse fhan ey. Brownies Are Peeved. There was a general powwow and Dave Davenport, who Is temperamen- tal to a fault, went through the busi- ness of registering anger and then resumed his unfinished business. peven ort tried to pitch another past ess, but he failed utterly and Ness nicked a single to right that knotted the score. In the eleventh inning the Sox shoved another run around and the Browns were beaten 6—é. Weilman was the victim of the Sox murderous assault in the last portion of the eleventh. Jackson opened this inning with an unoffensive grounder to Pratt. J. Collins coaxed a pass and the ever troublesome Schalk whipped one to left center for two bases, Collins haltin at third. Byrd Lynn, who fanned in the pinch Sunday, was mus- tered out in defiance of fate and this time he delivered with a vengeance. Although only a sacrifice fly was need- ed he lammed one 10 miles over Shot- ton’s head and the ball game was on ice. The defeat was particularly bitter be- cause the Browns were off to a glorious start of five runs in the first three frames. A smart bunting attack yielded these‘ tallies at the expense of Dave Danforth, a big southpaw who iately humbled the Tigers. Later on there was semblance of a batting punch in:Jones’ team, for at times Marsans, Shotton, Sisler and Pratt came through with ter- rific drives that excelled anything deliv- ered by the Browns so far this season. Bunting Attack Nets Five. Indeed, the Browns made nine hits, but their pitchers couldn’t endure, and the Sox made 11, which entitles them to some consideration in the ultimate dis- tribution of honors. However, the Sox made eight errors to one by the Browns and that’s another proposition again Indeed, the White Sox defense es every time the Browns produced any- thing like a pungent attack. ‘The Brown defense, on the other hand stood u re- markably well and the only miscue went to Hartley, who had his first bad da In five. is wild throw to catch Felsch at second im the fifth allowed Pitcher Williams to trek home from third, but that was the only boot which figured in the Chicago run-getting.

And, best of all, adds Mercer, McGraw believes it, too, Ted Lewis a Rea! Daredevil. VERY time Gershon Mendeloff goes through a park, they have to chain up the squirrels. Mr. Mende- loff, who operates under the ring name of Ted Lewis, must seem 1% choice tid-bit to the pecan hunters. Here is a nut who seems positively cracked—ready to devour. Fighting at a weight which permits him to go into the ring weighing (he says: as low.as 185 pounds, and battling near-lightweights like Jack Britton, Jimmy Duffy and others, he has nev- ertheless consented to meet the coun. try’s best middleweight fighter, Mike Gibbons, a man who needed less than reat light- one round to finish a Young heavyweight boxer like earn. Gibbons is not heavy himself. He fights best at about 150 pounds in the ring. Bven so, he is a eget: framed Sey than Lewis, a harder hit- ter and apparently just as good if not a better boxer. That a near-lightweight could concede the best middleweight 10 pounds and expect to win is con- ceivable only on the ground that there is a wheel loose in his men- tal machinery. Yet. the match has been made and Lewis, according to all information, is in full possession of his faculties. Many ighters have conceded weight to opponents and Lewis may be clever enough to get away with this. But he will have to step faster than a chicken on the speedway. Things will surely be coming his direction. If geared high enough he may keep out in front for 10 laps. The Case Against Pugilism. OXING has passed beyond the ab- surd criticisms urged against it by badly informed critics. Objections to the modern boxing game scem based on what used to be, not what is. : The game is now living down the flerce reputation it gained during centuries of London prize ring performances, when bare knucks and bruta! tactics actually ex ’ As the sport stands today, it is aimest inocuous. Wo i ttn, at, tod ham fae nh Ww astentnd the battle between Jess W!- lard (the world’s greatest fighter, in tes et ee Ruskin so much free wisdom he never had enough left to run himself, was frequently known to remark, following the easment into his record of some Spee ‘¢HARDLUCK’’ HAUGHTON, who,tin his day here gave off a boost, Bo.’’ size and everything else) and Moran called it “TAME.,”’ ” e Boxing Fatalities Very Few. HE campaigners who are waging war against the sport have totaled the deaths from pugilism. Raking through a century or two, they discovered—so it was set forth—that 177 deaths had re- sulted from boxing in its entire recorded history. This is only about four times the number that ANNUALLY oc- cur in baseball. On the score of the brutalities or fa- talities, the opponents of boxing are barking up the wrong tree. There is only one legitimate argument against pugilism, as opposed to the many in its favor. It is this: That where, in all other sports punishment of an opponent is accidental, in pugilism it is IN- TENTIONAL. To be @ success- ful boxer one must not only be able to protect himself, but to hurt the other fellow. + = * Punishment Is NOT Injury. I N limited round, no-decision bouts between capable men, the amount of INJURY done is, however, negligi- ble. A knockout ora stunning blow, mind you, is NOT an injury. It may INCAPACITAT the other fellow, WITHOUT DAMAGING him. And, lest you think this is pure ro- mancing, go and take a look at Har- ry Sharpe, who is now well into the forties, in years. While looking a: him, remember that this is the man who, while a mere youth, fought for 77 rounds, or over five hours, in hail and snow, finally winning by a knockout in the longest glove fight to end in this manner in the history of the Queensberry rules. Certainly fighting did not hurt Sharpe, as you will agree, probably, nor many another sturdy specimen to be nuted, such as Bill Clarke, the Bel- tast Chicken, who recently died at the ripe age of 88, after being brough* up in the roughest school known to the boxing world—the English box- ing booth. Objections against boxing can- not fairly be based on the injury it does. There is no ccse vr this score by comparison with other sports.

Two stars of the New York A. C. tank team, Herbert Vollmer and Ted Cann, will not be hcre next Saturday for the National A. A, U. 500-yard swimming championship, it was announced this morning by Tom Whitaker, coach of the Cherry Diamond squad. Inability to get away from their studies is the main rea- son why the two Gotham aquatic stars will not be nere, Vollmer, while not breaking tank rec- ords, follows his studies at Columbia U., while Cann is a student at Hamilton In- stitute. While this is the main reason for their not coming, the N. Y. A. © has another and a good one. For the first time in many years the Gotham team has a chance io beat out the Illinois A. C. for the relay champion- ship and as both Vollmer and Cann are members of the team, the N. Y. A. C. would rather have them for that event than come here fcr the 600-yard cham- pionship. All of which is a severe blow to the M. A. A., as Vollmer was count- ed on to make the other stars break rec- ords to beat him. Only last week, in New York, Voll- mer set a new stardard of 2m. 35 2-5s. in winning the 220 yurds title, Cann was second in the race, with McGillivray third. While this pair will not be here, the N. Y. A. C, will be represented by Joseph Wheatley. who beat Duke Kahanamoku in the 220-yard tryout. Wheatiey is said to be turning the i100 within the record time and is expected to give a good ac- count of himself Duke Kahanamoku, Perry McGillivray, Clement Browne, Herman Laubis and Halpin Burke are other sure starters.

By John E. Wray. Baseball is an exact science, accord- {ng to Hugh Fullerton; but, accord- fing to onlookers at yesterday’s Car- dinal’s-Cubs’ contest, it’s a game of chance that makes the Honduras lottery look like a sure thing. Mr. Fullerton, in his ‘‘dope,” would probably rate our Mr..

But that Snyder may be relied on to perform double Al plu3, under ALL cir- cumstances is disproven by his work yesterday, when he effactually preve ited the Cardinals from tieing, vr mossibiy winning, a baseball game. The final score was 5 to 1 in favor of Heinezims. But the fact of the is that, but for Snyder, the count would have been 1—1.

Worse and More of It. But this was not all. In the very next inning Snyder failed again, and once more it was on a feature play in which he is one of the most re- lable men in the game—that of tagging runner at the plate. Fischer lined out a double to ith’s territory. It should have been a single, but Smith missed a chance to hold it down and let the ball hop ' . &way from him.

Vic Saier got the range of Doak And gave the pill an awful soak That netted him the circuit of the bases; It fell in the pavillion seats, The greatest of all batting feats, And brought deep lines of sorrow to our faces.

However, Vaughn, although hit rather freely, was steady at the right | the Cubs’ ace, and when the Cards beat him Sunday the visitors were dubious about their remaining games Vaughn's wild pitch in the second inning was the only evidence of weakness in pinch that he showed during the game, It let in a run from second base. However, as events proved, it did not matter, for Snyder sent a screecher out to right field. He took two bases on the triple. The old bird Yerkes pulled some _ good plays for the Cubs on defense. His smart work on Smith’s hard grounder in the third is worth mention, The-drive was far over to- ward first base. Smith was down the linex like a streak, but Yerkes, plucking the ball with his gloved hand, swiftly switched it to his other hand without straightening up and tossed to first for the out.

EVENING, APRIL 18, 1916. ° MI NEILL FAVORED BY FASTER RING IN BOUT TONIGHT Briton, Who Outpointed Mur- phy. at S. B, A. C.,, Is Ex- pected to Repeat. By Harry S. Sharpe, Ineferee for the Future City Ath- letic Club and the Post-Dis- patch’s Boxing Authority. Lovers of good boxing—clean, scientific work—will have the oppor- tunity of witnessing that. sort of a bout when Benny McNeill and Jimmy Murphy square off for eight rounds at the Future City Athletic Club to- night. They are the best bantam- weights in the city. Both are instinc- tively fighters, but they are not mere sluggers. They rely upon science and speed to win for them, backed by a hard punch. The conditions governing tonight's bout between these two will be a lit- tle different from ‘those which ecx- isted in their previous engagement boxed at the South Broadway A. C. a week ago last Saturday night, and the difference appears to favor Mc- Neill. For the bout at the South Broadway A. C. the weight was 116 pounds at 56 p. m. For tonight the weight will be 116 at 3 P- m., a difference of three hours. This favors McNeill, because he is naturally a heavier boy than Murphy when both are in best condi- tion. Another advantage which appears to favor McNeill is that their previous bout was boxed in a ring ‘with which Murphy is thoroughly familiar, but which was unknown to McNeill until he stepped in for the bout. The ring at the South Broadway A. C. is one of the most heavily, padded in the city and is Considered “slow” for a boxer who has had no previous experience in it. Murphy did his training in it, and was at no disadvantage. Ring Will Be Faster Tonight. Tonight’s bout will be in a ring that is much faster, and in which McNeill has already @cored two of his notable victories, one.over Jimmie Taylor of New York and the other over Harry Kabakoff of this city. McNeill is very fleet of foot. and the al — RAIN PREVENTS FINAL CLASH WITH CUBS HE final game of the series between the Cardinals and Cubs, scheduled for this aft- ernoon, was cailed off shortly be- fore noon on account of rain and wet grounds. This means tliat local baseball followers wilt be without a contest until Thursday, when the Browns return home. Manager Huggins and his squad puli out at 4:20 tomorrow “fternoon for Pittsburg, where they open Thursday. The Cubs left on a noon train for the Windy City. Huggins said this morning that he would take all his players with the exception of Catcher’ Kelly along on the tiip. Chief Wilson, the ailing outfiel@er, reported this morning. LO A faster ring should favor his style. That he is allowed to weigh in at the same weight, but three hours’ earlier is another advantage. Murphy's weight goes up and down in training for his various bouts, und is a condition that cannot be accounted for. Sometimes he has gone as low as 108 pounds, and at others he has run up to as high as a full 115. He is said to havg@ weighed only 111% last Saturday nig ITt. Murphy cannot account for the man- ner in which his weight varies. He says his habits and training methods are the same for all of nis bouts. McNeill Takes Chances. McNeil boxed Murphy at great speed in their previous bout, but was said to have been much faster in his bout with Jimmie Pappas last Saturday night at the Stag A. C., which he won rather handily. He reports himself to be in fine condition. He was given a draw by Referee Kddie Randall in his bout with Murphy, but it was generally conceded that he had outpointed the South Side boxer. Clever as he is, McNeill is just the kind of a boxer that may be knocked out at any time and when least expected. Thig is because of his willingness to «mix it whenever an opponent shows a desire to. He takes unnecessary chances at intervals in a bout and seems perfectly willing to trade punches in determining which shall be the first to back up. This is a dangerous procedure, consider- ing that the chances he takes appear to be altogether unnecessary, because he has a wonderful defense when he chooses to use it, and because he is sv fast and clever that he can hit and get away from danger faster than any other boxer we have here. Some night Benny wil! be ex- changing wallops with some opponent just for the excitement of the thing. and the subsequent formality will be only that of counting him out. The semi-final bout for tonight will be between Jimmy Foley and Wallace Pres- ton. eight rounds at 135 pounds. The preliminaries will be boxed by Jimmy Necla and Leo Williams. at 125 pounds, and ‘‘Bud”’ Scott and Charley Smith, at be 60 cents ~~.

This, of course, includes the national championship tour- ney, which he once won. The Executive Committee of the Mas- sachusetts Golf Association, in making its ruling, did not classify Ouimet with the professionals. Ouimet’s offense is that he is the pro- prietor of a sporting goods store.

POINTS OUT DANGERS Engineers Say Additional Protec- tion Should Be Undertaken by Private Enterprise. Higher levees are recommended for the Illinois River, in the report of the State Rivers and Lakes Commission on the Illinois River and its bottom Jands, with reference to the conservation of agricrl- ture and fisheries and the control of floods. It seems to the commission that the circumstances warrant the building of levees to a height about three feet above a great flood stage, assuming this to oe the flood of 1844. The excess height of levees is recommended to provide for wave wash and in emergency as a smal! factor of safety to prevent disaster im case of a greater flood. To comply with the recommendation the levees would be increased from two to three feet. The lowest levy is about six feet below what is regarded by the commission as a ppm ae Object of In The object of the been yO witch was made by John W. Alvord and Charlies B. Burdick, consulting engineers, ‘s to answer the following general questions: 1, What future flood rates may rea- sonably be expected on the Milinols River. 2. Is the present waterway sufficient to accommodate the future floods. 3. What interests are affected by the vast and probable future improvements in the valiey? How is each interest af- fected and what is the relative imopur- tanc> of each? 4. What plan can be followed to cor- rect the deficient waterway and to pro- duce a maximum benefit to the local in- terests and to the public? It is the conclusion of the commissivn that the average flood expectancy, about once in 50 years, is a flood about % per cent greater in rate than the fleod of 1904, and that it is wise to protect the valley against such an expectancy, The conviction is expressed that the present farm levees are a menace to themselves in that they have so re- stricted the flood water channel and are lacking in height, generally speaking, to such an extent that they are likely to be overtopped in a great flood. im 1913. No great feed bas sual ween the river since the occupation of the valley with levees approaching the present scale of development. The nearest ap- proach to a grea‘ flood was in 1913. Al- though in that year the volume of water is estimated to have been slightly less than in 1904, its elevation in the vicinity of La Grange Dam, near the head of the most extensive levee system, was three feet greater than the flood of 1904, and substantially the same as the «ex- tremely high water of 1844. As nearly as the commission can est!- mate from rather incomplete data, the cost of bringing all the present levees up to the desirable plane would be about $2,532,000. The total expenditure, includ- ing this item and also the total cost of all future levee districts, is estimated at about $8,154,300, As to the means of accomplishment, ft seems proper to the commission that the additional protection should be ef- fected by private enterprise. It is he- lieved to be the duty of the State, how- ever, to advise the land owners as t») conditions and through the commission to regulate future constructions or e}- terations in present levees, so far as the powers of the commission extends.

NEW PROPOSAL ON INSURAN;E Pian to Make Owner Stand Portion of Loss Is Suggested. A plan to require the insured to stand the first 5 per cent of fire losses was advocated before the convention of the Insurance Commissioners’ Association, which is in session today at the Planters Hotel, by H. I, Ekern, former Insurance Commissioner of Wisconsin, and Albert Blauveldt of Chicago. The policy hold- er; if this plan should be adopted, would have to pay the first $0 on each $1000 of losses.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATLH ———— ~ WANTS FOUR-CENT STREET CAR FARE IN EAST ST. LOUIS Ajayor Mollman Launches Cam- paign for Cheaper Public Utilities. Mayor Mollman of East St. Louis last night launched a fight for 4-cent street car fares, interchanging telephone con- nection between the Bell and Kinloch companies, cheaper gas, water and elec- tric rates, and better service conditions. A resolution prepared by Mayor Moll- man and Corporation Counselor Sulli- van was submitted by Councilmen Fletcher, Murphy and King, which pro- vides that complaints shall be filed with the State Utilities Commission against the St. Clair County Gas and Electric Co., the Bell and Kinloch telephone companies, the City Water Co., and all companies operating street cars in East St. Louis. The resolution was passed by the Council unanimously. Complaints will be filed this week, May- or Mollman said. The first effort will be to get reduction of the gas rates, and to compel the telephone companies to rent connection, and to give East St. Louis free connection with St. Louis* Then the question of better car service will be taken up, and, punnegeentiy. the proposal of a 4-cent fare. ayor Moll- man said the water rate of 22% cents per 1000 gallons is much too high, and would have been reduced two years ago if Mayor Chamberlain had not main- tained a friendly attitude toward the water company. The rate should be less than 20 cents, the Mayor said. Councilman Fowler’s fight for a re- duction in the gas rate of from $1 per 1000 cubic feet to 80 cents will be con- tinued, and the electric Hght rates will be attacked. Mollman said East St. Louis pays $70 a year for arc lights, while Belleville’s rate is $55. The resolution stated that the utili- ites named have been “guilty of charg- ing excessive rates, and — of im- posing on the public unfair, unequal, burdensome and discriminative service, practices, rates and regulations.

IN STOCK MARKET War Shares Reflect Some Selling Pressure While Railroads Are Steady. By Leased Wire From the New York -Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 18.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “Trading on the stock market today was again carried on under the shadow of the two influences which have domi- nated the exchange for days past— namely, the condition of our dealings with Mexico and the uncertdinties of the diplomatic interchanges with Ger- m any. “In the latter case attention naturally centered on the text, not yet made pub- lic, of the note to be sent to Berlin, in regard to the submarine issue. Fore- casts of the contents of the note being meager, the market preferred to await more definite information before draw- ing conclusions. Transactions, there- fore, were again almost wholly confined to the professional speculators. As usu- ally happens in a market which has fallen into this condition, the attention of the traders was directed first to one group of stocks and then to another, with buying in the copper shares and railroad stocks at one time offset by the general tendency to operate for a decline in munitions shares. “Today’s business on the exchange differed in no important particular from that of yesterday, except that the declines in most cases were not as se- vere. After a hesitating opening a de- cline set in which was unchecked for perhaps the first half hour, after which & moderate rally took place. “During most of the remainder of the day prices fluctuated aimlessly, except in the case of two or three specialties, in which losses or gains of several points occurred. The volume of trading de- clined as price fluctuations became more narrow, and in che afternoon the market was generally quiet with a good degree of firmness shown in the general run of prices. “In the railroad shares some fraction- al gains occurred. Aside from several Special stocks, the heaviest dealings were in the shares of the munitions companies, which were traded in at prices generally below yesterday's close, — higher than today’s lowest quota- ons. Market Is Irregular. “Following its custom, Wall street sought to find soine other reason for the action of stocks than the more ob- vious explanations, and aga‘n empha- sized the threatened drying up of the war orders as a renson for the behavior of the shares of munitions companies. The curious thing about this reasoning is, not that it shouid be put forth as a market influence, but that it was not advanced last week, when the alarm- ing statements were first made by men in close touch with the munitions busi- ness that new contracts would not be lavishly placed. “For several months the stock market has had in more or less constant con- templation the ending of this source of revenue for American companies, and emphasis had been laid on the opposite viewpoint, that these concerns still had much of this business unfinished on their books, in addition to which there were pressing orde:s for the regular output of the factories to be used in industry. For these reasons expressions of appre- hension over the threatened curtailment of the munitions business may have fig- ured less in the real feeling underlying the market than some of the professional speculators would have admitted. The readjustment which had been going on in these stocks had begun long before, the latest explanation for that readjust- ment was advanced. “Dealings in foreign exchange were marked by an advance in rubles to 31.40, compared with 30.50 yesterday, and a recent low price of 30. There was also an advance in marks, which sold at 73%, against sales yesterday at 78%, while Austrian kronen were also quoted at higher figures. Sales were made at 12.90c to the crown. “The recent movement of the rate of French exchange in favor of Paris was checked yand a slight recession from yesterday's prices was noted in some transactions, Francs sold today at 5.344% to the dollar. In foreign exchange circles the arrested movement in French exchange was attributed to offerings by those who had bought francs at the low prices ruling last week, and who were now said to be offering remit- tances against these holdings. Sterling exchange was unaltered.’’ “The weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany showed a small gain of $50,000 in gold, and an increase of $9,000,000 in the loan item, accompanied by an increase of $32,000,000 in deposits — a decrease of $35,000,000 in circula- on, DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S. TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, April 18.—Free selling of specialities was again the chief feature of today’s early trading, with to 2 point declines in Crucible Steel, Baldwin and American Locomotives, Westinghouse, Mexican Petroleum, Studebaker and In- dustrial Alcohol. Mercantile Marines were active and strong as a result of the latest statement of the companies’ earnin but even those issues soon reacted. New Haven yielded a point, with trivial operations in other rails, although Norfolk & estern rose 1%. Sale of one block of 417,000 Anglo-French 5s at 95, a fractional reces- sion, featured the bond market. The International problems confronting the country continued to exert a restrain- ing influence, advices from Mexico geuvey- ing intimations of fresh complications in that quarter. Nevertheless, most special- ties made up @ large part of their declines, the firmness of rails, especially coalers, imparting some confidence. Tradin in marines once more overshadowed all other group, Mexican United States Steel also were fairly active. few obscure in- dustrials were materially lower on light offerings. Exxtensisve selling of Anglo- French 6s caused moderate irregularity in nds, Trading dQWindled to slender proportions in the afternoon, the coppers being almost the sole features at moderate advances. Rails held their ground, but specialties receded again under pressure. Real Estate Exchange Meeting. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the Real Estate Exchange yesterday, the Ben Altheimer Jr. Real- ty Co. and the De Martini-Zerega Agency were elected active members.
