It is pre- sumed that the State Department con- ferred the necessary powers on him. Advices received in Juarez today indi- cated that First Chief Carranza had given his consent to the terms agreed upon by his Minister of War. Gen. Obregon told his associates that he saw no reason why the settlement should not be quickly effected and he believed that the tension between the Americans and Mexicans would quickly disappear when the news was spread that an understanding had been reached that had for its object the retirement of the American soldiers from Mexican soll. Time Limit Thought te Be 2 Months. Everyone conceding that the troops ‘were to be withdrawn, the greatest in- terest centered in what the time limit will be. The usual guess was two months. It is known that Obregon con- sidered three weeks a fair time for the column to get out of Mexico, if the or- der were to be given at once. Doubling this time he considered a fair thing, *-:t the argument of the Americans that it should be still further extended is be- lieved to have prevailed. Obregon agreed to police-the territory to be evacuated by the Americans, say- ing that he could put an army of at least 25,000 at the task of hunting down Villa and of breaking up the bandit bands. The fall of Cuernavaca, which was a sort of Zapatista Verdun, has released Pablo Gonzales’ army, he said, and it would be moved north. Obregon’s arguments and statements of fact worked both ways. Whenever he pointed out the quality and positions of his soldiers, he not only emphasized his a*ility to take up the chase of Villa, but the Americans had no difficulty in see- ing that these same troops could be turned against the Americans if the con- ference failed to preserve peace. Offer to Reopen the Mines. A. J. McQuatters’® part in the proceed- ings, besides his able arguing, was to testify that the American owners of mines in Mexico were ready to resume operations at once if peace between the United States and Mexico was assured, and safety from bands guaranteed. The imménse financial assistance this would be to the wobbly Carranza administra- tion was apparent and the great eco- nomic boon was made plain. McQuatter’s dompany, the Alvarado, js said to employ 12,000 men in its workings near Parral. As the innabitants of this section are nearly all mine workers, and as the mines are closed, their case has been desperate of late. To reopen the mines would bring great prosperity to that section. The same condition obtains in many other places in Northern Mex- ico, and resumption of mining activities under amicable and peaceful conditions would change the whole aspect of the Northern Mexican states, The prospective agreement between the conferees and the settlement of the question in the manner now indicated is not popular in army circles and among the people of El Paso, the chief border city ana a stronghold of Villa sentiment. Conferees Refuse Information, Gen. Scott spent the day {fn his pri- vate car, refusing to see callers. Gen. Funston was engaged with business of the Department of the South, apart from the conference, and Gen. Obregon was engaged in his various duties on the south side of the Rio Grande. The Mexican Generalscould be seen, but he had nothing to say, and he turned visitors away as rapidly as politeness would permit. An air of exuberanc? perveaded his car and every- one aboard presented the appearance of a person celebrating a diplomatic vic- tory. Gen. Gabriel Gavira, who commands much of the district through which the expedition has passed, telegraphed to his officers that Mexico and the Mex- ican people would be well pleased by the result cf the conference and that the protocol, when made public, would give additional cause for satisfaction to all true Mexicans. The cbject of his telegrams was to assurs the officers that an advantage had been gained and thereby to slacken the tension which has existed bétween Americans and Mexicans along the line of th. expedition.

NEW YORK, May 4.—Although sub- jected to a rigorous cross-examina- tion. today, Lieut. Robert Fay could not be shaken from the essential de- tails of the narrative he related yes- terday. Fay, together with Walter Scholz and Paul Daeche, is being tried in the Federal District Court here on the charge of conspiring to blow up munition ships. Fay denied that German authorities had taken any part in the allegd plot to sink munition ships by the aid of a rudder bomb which he _ invented. The defense announced that it would close probably tonight. In that event the case will go to the jury tomorrow. New Kansas Instructor in Journalism LAWRENCE, Kan., May 4.—Frank B.

Smith, president of the Louisville & Nash- Ville Railroad, and the late Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway, relating to an alleged agree- ment to divide the South between the two roads, was introduced by counsel for the Interstate Commerce Commission at today’s investigation of the Louisville & Nashville’s af- feirs. In the correspondence the writers likened themselves to Cortez and Pi- zarro, conquerors of a new world, met to divide it—one agreeing to take North America, the other South Amer- ica, neither to touch the Isthmus and unable to agree on Patagonia.

LONDON, May 4.—The Zeppelin L-20, which was wrecked in falling at Tafso Firth, Norway, belonged to a squadron of five airships which attacked the east coasts of England and Scotland Tues- day night, according t> a member of her crew, says a Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. Of the 16 men on board the Zeppelin, which was commanded by Capt. Stabberg, all were rescued and interned by the Norwegian authorities. One of the crew said the Zeppelins were forced by gunfire and ad- verse weather to cut short their attacks, and that owing to a lack of berizine the L-20 was unable to keep in company with the other raiders. She was driven eastward by a strong wind and hurled against a mountain side. Previously several of the men had jumped into the sea and had been picked up by boats. When the craft hit the mountain its after body broke in two and part of it fell to the ground. Others of the crew jumped or were hurled out. Included are tailored, ‘i \*; semi-tailored and dressy models of serge, gabardine, velour, homespun, etc. = [Palace Snecials for Friday and Saturday!

The Zeppelin then rose a little and was driven again over the sea, where the bag of the dirigible collapsed in the center and the airship descended rapid- ly to the water. A torpedo boat, which had been following along the coast, res- cued three men still in the cabin. The L-20 is the third airship the G mans have lost in the North Sea, “8 having been the L-19 and L-15. An official statement says that in Tuesday night’s raid about 100 bombs were dropped, scattered over many io- nae n only a single locality did the raid- ers cause casualties or effect much dam- age,’ the statement says. ‘‘The casual- ties totaled six men—one of them a sol- dier—and three women killed and 19 men, including three soldiers and eigh* women injured—a total of 36. The re- maining 70 odd bombs occasioned only two casualties, one soldier and one child slightly injured.” A German seaplane yesterday after- noon madea raid on Deal. No fatalities resulted, but a man and a woman were injured. A church and two houses were damaged. Seven bombs were dropped. The aeroplane approached Deal from the direction of Ramsgate, and after dropping the bombs retreated, pursued by British aircraft. 3er- the ee Busy Bee Bakery Special This Weck.

PHILADELPHIA, May 4.—With a handkerchief tightly knotted around his neck, the body of 8-year-old Richard Meekin, who was kidnaped last No- vember, was found beneath underbrush on the outskirts of the city, yesterday. A letter received by the child's moth- er last January enclosed a diagram showing where the body of the boy, who, the writer said, had been mur- dered, would be found. The spot indi- cated in this diagram is only a short distance from the place where the body was, Only the skeleton remains.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 20.—The Ford peace party, reduced now to a working basis, with delegates present from the six neutral] countries of Nor- way, Sweden, Denmark, Holland Swit-.: zerland and the United States, has re- cently been very active here and has en- joyed the official recognition of having been received by the foreign ministers of the three Scandinavian countries. To each of these were presented appeals addressed in diplomatic French to the Kings and the Parliaments, asking that the neutral governments organize an official neutral conference to offer its services in bringing about peace. The Ford party is now known as an “unoffi- cial peace conference of neutral na- tions.”’ The peace representatives were gra- clously received here, at Copenhagen and at Christiania. No definite hope for consideration was held out to them, however, for the ministers declared their countries could only act when re-, quested to do so by the belligerents. The same appeal, addressed to the President and to the “Parliament” of the United States, also was offered to the American Minister here, Ira Nelson Morris. Morris held, however, that it did not come within his diplomatic province to accept appeals directed to the President and to Congress, so he advised his visitors to present the mat- ter direct to Washington. The Ford appeal, which is to be pre- sented also at Berne and The Hague, says in part: ‘Has not the moment come to act? If, by an opportune step, an interven- tion of neutrals, the war could be shortened by a day, by a single day which destroys thousands of lives, ought not the step to be taken, no mat- ter how difficult, how hopeless it .p- pears? “History will severely judge the neu- tral countries if they remain here spec- tators of the terrible conflagration. They, too, suffer by tne war, and the belligerents themselves have submitted their cause to the judgment of the neu- tral nations. They have spread over every country their White Books and Blue Books, and Books red and yellow. They h:.ve made their appeal to the conscience of the world. * * * ‘The neutral conference is acting in the spirit to. The Hague convention of 1997, Article 2 of the agreement then “The Powers hold that it ig desir- reachea distinctly provides: able that one or more neutral Pow -s should, upon their initiative, when they judge the circumstances propitious offer their services as mediators io the belligerent states. * * * The exercise of this right will never be considered by one or the other of the belligerents an unfriendly act.’ “In view of the right and thc duty to which this agreement points, the un- official conference now sitting Stockhol : respectfully appeals to the Governments and parliaments o. neutral countries to employ every means to call into existence a confrr- ence for official mediation between the belligerent states.’’ The peace representatives also have had an interview with the British Min- ister here and have requested that they be given the right to travel freely in the belligerent countries, and that they be permitted to bring to Stockholm from these countries persons in a posi tion to advise with the unfficial confer- ence as to various steps to be taken in the future. The Minister said the mat- ter would be considered. Circus Only Two Days More, But you can get an animal circus free with McKinney's Butternut Bread. Ask your grocer. YOUNG DEMOCRATS PUT ON CENSORSHIP AT SEDALIA Candidates for Governor Will Not Be Allowed to Make Personal At- tacks at Rally Saturday. The Democratic candidates for Gov- ernor who speak at Sedalia next Sat- urday will have to submit to the cen- sorship of the Young Men’s Democratic Club, under whose auspices the meeting will be held. James E. Boggs of Columbia, pres!- dent of the club, and Rob Roy Godsey of Webb City, secretary, have issued a statement that while the candidates for Governor will be permitted to speak, they will not be permitted to make per- sonal attacks upon other candidates for Governor. The attacks which Attorney-General Barker has been making upon the other candidates resulted in the officials of the club deciding that no candidates for Governor would be heard at any of the other meetings held by the club. How- ever, they reconsidered their decision, and consented to let the candidates for Governor outline their own platforms and discuss issues which are in line with party principles. Fred D. Gardner will not attend the meeting at Sedalia, but will have headquarters there. The other candidates are expected to be there. Diamond Rings, Pay $1 a Week.

This was the peremptory order of the Board of Police Commissioners, unanimously approved, at its meeting last night. The board ordered that all women of the streets who loiter after nightfall be arrested; that their places of rendezvous be sought out and closed; that all disorderly houses be closed. | tioned, who recently asked the courts _ for a divorce from Conway Tearle, ' @n actor, was arrested yesterday | afternoon in a raid made by the po- 4 lice on an apartment house in which _ they made three other prisoners, all - on the charge of having narcotics in _ thelr possession. _ When Mrs, Tearle discovered that ' her maid haq admitted detectives to ' her apartment she is said to have become hysterical and to have tried ANNOUNCING FOR FRIDAY A SPECIAL Purchase and Sale of New The purchase was made 10 days ago.

All lines have been replenished by new arrivals. Every stock is teeming with attractive values. We men- tion a few specials below: pianist, has for a long time la- bored under the handicap of be- ing reckoned a musical pedagogue rather than an artist, a virtuoso of technique more than a master of in- terpretation. This impression was due in part to his celebrity as an edi- tor of exercises for piano students, and it was not much lessened by his first appearance in this city, a few years ago, as soloist with the Sym- phony Orchestra. But his concert at the Odeon last night, marking his ad- vent here in recital, went far towards dispelling this prejudice, and revealed that if he is not one of the most soul- ful, he is certainly one of the most ar- tistic pianists now before the public. Yet the technician will out, as was shown, in a program otherwise irre- proachable for its beauty, Ly the in- trusion of an instance of doubtful taste of which one likes to think no other pianist of equal rank . would have been capable. At the conclusion of a group of Chopin compositions, played with a delicacy and grace of poetic feeling that literally enchanted his hearers, Godowsky was summoned by fervid applause to grant an en- core. ' Parading His Technique. He responded—with an arrange- ment of his own for the left hand alone of Chopin's Etude in A fiat. Now, music for one hand may be a heroic feat in a Count Geza® Zichy, who made himself into a concert pian- ist after losing his right arm; but in, a performer with two competent hands, it can be nothing but ostenta- tion, a gratuitous parade of one’s technique. It cannot be said that the rearrangement of the composition added to its artistic value, but rather the contrary; it was turned into a show-piece of the most flagrant kind, into an exploit of physical dexterity worthy of the circus. Had Godowsky played the Etude as it was written, the result would have been delight in the beauty of his art; as it was, the effect was one of vulgar wonder at : or ~A so” ‘ the amazing suppleness and dizzy QE550 5) at Wein ‘>. ties speed of his left hand.

About 150 St. Louis men and women of Irish birth or ancestry met last night at Kenrick Hall, Knights of Columbus Building, and mourned as martyrs the leaders of the Dublin rebellion who were executed yesterday, and organized the St. Louis branch of the Friends of Irish Freedom. Emil Frei, Hans Wulf and John C. Meyers, officers of the American Neu- trality League, and W. H. Mende, a member of that organization, were pres- ent. Meyers, by request, was one of the speakers. Arrangements were made for a mass meeting to be held Sunday night at Hi- bernian Hall, Grand and Finney ave- nues, to protest against the execution of the Irish patriots. lwo Priests Among Speakers. O’Neill Ryan presided as temporary chairman, The speakers, bgsides him- self, were the Rev. Father Francis Gil- fillan, pastor of the Cathedral Parish; the Rev. Father Timothy Dempsey, pas- tor of St. Patrick’s Church; Charles J. Dolan, Dr. J. J. Kane and Meyers. Ryan spoke strongly in favor of thie revolutionists, commenting feelingly on the execution of the leaders, commend- ing their patriotism and drawing a par- allel between their struggles and ihe struggles of the American patriots of revolutionary times. The Rev. Father Gilfillan spoke in a more conservative vein. He said he feared, from what Ryan had said, that the meeting might take one direction alone. He counseled moderation, so as not to disaffect sympathizers with John Redmond, the Irish parliamentary leader, and Americans of Irish descent who are not in complete sympathy with the revo- lutionists. BEGUN BY:2a0 AT FORT OGLETHORPE Business and Professional Men at Camp From All Parts of East and South. FORT OGLETHORPE, Ga., May 4.— professional men, residing from New En- giand to Mexico in the East and South, have been transformed into khaki clad citizen soldiery at the Southern mil- jiary training camp, which opened here yesterday. It is expected the enroll- ment will be increased to WO today. Two columns, one of the regular army detachment of 700 men and the other a battalion of military students command- ed by coast artillery and cavalry cap- tains, came together for the first time under a tent to hear the opening lec- ure by Lieutenant-Colonel D. W. Ketch- am, training camp commander, and an address by Capt. Gordon Johnston, aid- de-camp of Major-General Leonard Wood. Objects, plans and rules of the training course were explained. Massachusetts, New York and Penn- Sylvania sent a majority of the appli- cants for military training. Ralph L. Smith, an American from Mexico City, 1epresented the most distant point. Rob- ert Bacon, former Secretary of State cud former Ambassador to France, was enlisted in company D, under Capt. R. li. Jordan of the coast artillery. Bacon was recognized as a Sergeant, having attained that rank last year at Platts- Lurg. Martin W. Littleton, former. Rep- resentative from New York, Is in an- cther company and a private. After being enrolled and equipped from the ordnance department, the student soldiers were assigned to tents and im- mediately took up elementary training work.

NEW YORK, May 4,—Mrs. Kathryn M. Stanton, whose husband, M. McMil-! lan Stanton, is treasurer of the Wolver- ine Copper Mining Co. and other Mich- igan corporations capitalized at millions of dollars, said in her summer home at Whitestone, L. I., she has aided per- sonally and financially in the perfec- tion of a war gun which: 1. Has been tested in model form with marvelous results by Generals in the United States army. 2. Uses no powder, chemicals or springs for its discharge. 8. Has an effective range of seven or eight miles. 4. Shoots out eggs or glass balls with- cut breaking them in the discharge. 5. Shoots out 50 balls instantly or one ball ever hour. 6. Can wreck aeroplanes. 7. Has no barrel. 8. Can be operated by one woman.’ 9. Can plant 50 balls within a radius of six feet at a range of a mile and a half, as was actually done with a fmaller model at Fort Hamilton and Sandy Hook. 10. Can be placed on the grass and fired without recoil. ll. Weigh about 300 pounte:. 12. Can be duplicated simply, quickly and comparatively inexpensively. 13. Hurls missiles from a flat surface. 14. May drive other sorts of guns out of existence. 15. Is named by its inniiine Beautiful Kathryn.”’ Old Inventor's ltdea. “Someone brought an old inventor to me,” said Mrs. Stanton. “He had known more prosperous days but be- cause since the war his royalties from inventions he sold in Germany had been cut off he was unable to finance his idea of the gun. He is a well-known inventor, a naturalized citizen who hates notoriety. His first stipulation was that the United States should have the refusa! of the invention, which is patented. “I rented a smal! machine shop in New York and hired a few mechanics. 1 watched the gun grow from day to day. “When the model was finished tests were made at Sandy’ Hook and else where. We expect to have the new gun ready next week, when the Gov- ernment will test it.’’ Husband Explains Gun. “The gun—they call it a gun; T call it a thing—is really the harnessing of cen- trenches, vessels or “The fcals, but being sick has become a mighty expensive thing. The war has raised the prices in many other lines, as investigation shows. Thyme, a plant grown in the war zone, was a highly-prized flavoring for the Thanksgiving turkey dressing. But, this fall, plain parsley will do, as thyme has risen 600 per cent; the war- ring nations are making from it a germ killer known as thymol, and muth need- ed by them. Experts who have studied the situ- ation declare the high prices in drugs are due to three causes: The need of many of them in making high explo- sives, the shortage of ships to trans- pert what can be oLtained, and spec- ulation by American brokers. And they expect no fall in prices for many months—unless peace is declared. CHICKENS REFUSE TO BE LED VINCENNES, Ind., May 4.—Womer, of the First Baptist Church at Bicknell, wishing to advertise a sale of chickens tu raise money for repainting the par- scnage, planned to lead their hens from the public square to the market. A large crowd had gathered in the square, each carrying a hen under her arm, but the chickens refused to be led when the sig- nal was given. However, the effort served the pur- pose, for the hens sold quickly at the market, and enough money to pay for painting the parsonage was obtained. Cc. L. Barnhart Inventory Filed. An inventory of the estate of Carey L. Barnhart of 5817 Bartmer avenue shows stocks valued at $37,650 and chat- tels appraised at $250. He also owned several pieces of realty. He was a member of the Barnhart Mercantile Co., 200 South Comemrcial street, im- porters of peanuts. Two Men Robbed of Circus.

We tried-a small model at Fort’ Hamilton and Sandy Hook, using an electric motor of lese than one-horsepower. At a range of 500 yards two-ounce balls were hurled intu a circle about the size of the top ofa small table. The gun is exactly accu- rate, except as the ball is subject to ex- ternal influences, as soon as the range is determined. The velocity of the ball before it is released governs its range. This velocity is determined automatica]- ly. The release is a part of the gun. ““We hope for a range of seven or eight miles, but it will not pierce armor plate at that distance.

When during our segregation campaign. we de- cided to recall a number of the Board of Alder- men, we made the statement that several charges that might be made against them, besides their failure to vote -n appropriation for our election, but we declined at that time to state what they were. One of them was the acceptance by every mem- ber of the Board of Aldermen of the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Co.'s Christmas gift, about which much was written by the daily pa- pers at that time, and the writer has seen no rec- ord of any of them having returned the gift to the Union Electric Light and Power Co. It is now reported that two members of the Board of Aldermen have accepted insurance placed with them by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. It is also rumored that these there were Siccidinsies was put into the expansion Eamiaiel of the Business Men’s League atthe conference luncheon. The hardware speakers urged that the league get down to brass tacks; the auto man wanted the knocks taken out of the league motor and the old “tires” punctured; the shoe man wanted to put a soul into the league work and we presume the newspapers are expected to put the membership into circulation. There was a time when we thought the Busi- ness Men’s League too narrow—too much devoted to commercial and manufacturing interests, some- times to special business interests—to exercise the best influence for the general welfare of the community. But the league has grown in mem- bership; it has widened its scope of vision and broadened its field of activity. This increasing breadth of view and labor is due largely to in- creasing membership, but it is due also to an awakened and enlarged civic consciousness, to the intensifying conviction that the community welfare is bound up with everything that affects and inter@tts the community. Business in its com- mercial sense is, of course, a fundamental con- cern of such an organization, because we live and flourish through business, but business in its larg- est sense—the common business of the community, of the municipality as a whole—is vitally im- portant to every resident of the city. The Business Men’s League and similar organi- zations have been timid about touching local pol- ities. Of course, no one wants them to touch par- tisan politics, but to get away from it. Municipal politics, however, teaches municipal business and nothing else. We defer too much to.city politics as a thing apart from city business. It is city business and the sooner we recognize it as that and nothing else the sooner we will realize effi- ciency in municipal government the sooner we will get the things necessary for the city’s welfare | accomplished at the city hall. The municipality is a corporation organized -to attend to the common business of the community, constructing its public buildings, making and maintaining streets and sewers, supplying ade- quate and cheap transportation and lighting, man- aging parks, playgrounds and other public inter- ests and public works. There is nothing political about it; it is all business requiring high capacity, integrity and industry without regard to pulls or political influences. For this business the city does not need a political legislature, but a com- petent board of directors and a first-class business manager. It needs an organized citizenship to see that the right men for the job are selected and that the work is properly done. Progress in democracies is accomplished mainly by organization. This is the democratic mode of getting things done by government. The organiza- tion informs and crystallizes public opinion and the government registers it. The bigger an organization like the Business Men’s League the broader and better will be its work; the less danger of the influences of special interests and the more certainty of valuable con- tribution to the general welfare. The league should have not less than 5000 members. If any citizen thinks the league is not doing what it should do for St. Louis, let him get in and help to improve its work. It is too strong an or- ganization to let alone. Reform works from the lie interest had’ F ech jess “unieed uae had} commanded ‘fewer resources? ~ Judicial officers take an oath to administer justice alike to the rich and poor. But such are the practical difficulties of the system that the man to whom a $500 claim would mean more than this adjudicated $607,026 claim means to the associated owners might never | pe ai have recovered his equitable due. = = i i THE IRISH EXEOUTIONS. the custom, whiniver a rebel got, To hang him by jury, barring such as was shot. —-Ballad of Shamus O’Brien. President Patrick H. Pearse of the Irish Re- public, and Thomas J. Clark and Thomas Mc- Donaugh, signers of the republic proclamation, were tried by courtmartial and shot three days after their surrender. Rebellion against British authority in the de- sign of establishing a republic in Ireland seems, accordingly, to be a much more serious offense than rebellion against British authority in South Africa in the design of re-establishing the Boer republics. The uprising in South Africa took place less than three months after the great war started. It was likewise a result of German planning in part "Twas was ‘and had German aid. Col. Maritz took the initia- tive in Northern Cape Colony. His example was followed after a short delay by Gen. Christian De Wet, Gen, F. C. Beyers and other representa- tive citizens in the former Orange Free State and the Transvaal. As in Ireland, the movement, though joined by considerable numbers of armed men, did not have the approval of the great majority of the people. By the last of November De Wet and other lead- ers had been captured. Here the parallel between the two rebellions, almost complete up to this time, ends. De Wet was not brought to trial until June. He was found guilty of treason on eight counts and sentenced to six years’ imprisonment and $10,000 fine. On Dec. 20 following, he and 118 other high treason prisoners were pardoned. Hundreds of others, with an important part in the rebellion, incurred no penalty whatever. ticipant was executed. Leniency was shown the South African leaders with a view to conciliating the discontented. Was it a mistake? It does not appear so from the solidarity South Africa has since shown in the British interest. If it was not a mistake, was the summary vengeance executed on the Irish leaders wise? Ireland is much nearer England. Success there would have’ been more serious, though a block- ade by the fleet would have rendered it impotent to affect the main issues of the war. Unquestion- ably the swift executions are approved by pow- erful elements in England which would have de- nounced leniency as paltering. But the hanging of Robert Emmet in 1808-had the approval of the same element. The condition of the nation, of course, beihg serious, naturally affects public opinion. The effect of adding four more names to the list of Emmets depends on the further policy. If the hangings and shootings of the reign of terror succeeding the rebellion of ’98, undertaken while England was at war with France and supported Not a single par-/ ax > .

Louis ea municipal lighting plant. Instead of proceeding with the passage of an ordinance providing for the erection or build- ing of such a plant, they have spent nearly two years junketing and investigating the electric light business. These two members of the Board of Aldermen are members of the Public Utility Com- mittee which has in its charze this investigation, and the $9000 in commissions which they received on the insurance that the Union Electric Light and Power Co. gave them is an improper trans- action. This is also true of the Christmas gift, which every member of the Board of Aldermen re- ceived. Why remove two members from the Puktlic PRECEDENT FOR PATIENCE. President Wilson’s patience is not without precedent in American history. A writer with a reasonably good memory re- calls that Grant stood more than 200 incursions into United States territory by Mexicans without making war on Mexico, and that the Virginius case, which involved the shooting against the wall of a score of American citizens by Spain, he set- tled by diplématic. proceedings which consumed more than a year.

Much blame and censure is there- fore due to the leaders who incited the rebellion in Ireland.

When it requires 18 years to determine the rights of the minority stockholders in the Mis- souri-Edison company, who refused to sell when the North American holding company consolldat- | ed the electric light interests of St. Louis, it surely appears that a need exists for reforming judicial procedure. The suit against a formidable combination of capital was prosecuted under exceptionally favora- ble circumstances. The owners of 3189 shares of stock took concerted action, employed counsel and instituted a joint sult. in defense of their property. Presumably ‘the litigation was never permitted to lag because of a lack of reasonable amounts of money to carry it on. As a result, they obtain a judgment of $107.50 for each share of stock, with $82.85 in interest, or a total of $607,- 026, “HOW ‘thiich’ lodge? would it Have taken if the] racy that there are no humble men in it, and upon the plane of social or political equality each man is better than his fellows.

No sign of permanent peace in Mexico as prom- ising as the capture of Cuernavaca has been given in many months. This town is the capital of a Mexican State, but little larger than a Missouri county, that adjoins the Federal District of Mex- ico City to the west and south. Zapata, for a long time, made it his base of operations. : If Villa is an untaught military genius whose methods are worth studying, what about this other bandit? Here at Cuernavaca, only 40 miles away from the halls of the Montezumas, Zapata defied each of the eight Presidents Mexico has had since May 26, 1911. Once in a while, just to show some too impertinent President that he could do it, he moved in and captured Mexico City and took the halls of the Montezumas for his own quar- ters. Carranza may be nearer than we think to un- disputed rule. Should he devote to the running down, not merely of Zapata and Villa but of their adherents and supporters and enemies of public order everywhere, half the time and energy de- veted to pernickety complaints against the United States, things would begin coming his way with u rush. er ae ee 2 BOREAS 3. ote He is convinced that if the air in’ the average rail- road coach at this season could be bottled for war purposes, we would only have to find the wind in our favor to put the enemy out of business.

Sometimes she seemed to him Ifke an animated automaton. When his sympathetic approaches were coldly repelied he hated Miss Nan. What right had a girl to have a face like that, if she had a heart like an icicle?

Then Miss Nan would freeze up hard and Dr. Abbott would call him- gelf a double-dyed fool. As, for instance, on the evening when ‘they found themselves off duty at the same hour, and he asked permission to take her home in his car. Miss Nan gomehow managed to accept.

She had charge of half a dozen infants,’ ranging in age from 1 week to 12 days. She re- ceived her instructions; the chart over each infant’s bed was to be filled out and replaced; at a certain hour the mothers were to see their offspring, etc. Just then, as Miss Nan was about to settle herself in her chair, Dr. Ab- bott came in. “Tt beg your pardon,” he began. “Not at all,” said Miss Nan, frigidly. thought Miss Jamesor would be @,” said the house surgeon. “T have been placed in charge,” swered the nurse in a voice like an icicle. “Oh!” drew. Miss Nan sat down. These inter- views were always painful ones.

Then she took out the babies, one by one, made them ready for the night, "nd replaced the». All the while Dr. ’ Abbott’s photograph hung in a promi- nent place upon the wall of her mem- ory, the consequence being that she walked round the room the opposite way when she replaced the babies. Miss Matthews, the probationer, came in a little Icter. “am I to take the babies to their mothers now, Miss Keller?” she in- quired. Miss Nan looked at the clock. “Tt isn’t 6 yet, Miss Matthew-,” she an- swered, “but I guess it will be by the time you are half through. Yes! Take Miss Molson'’s baby in.

By NE morning Bennie Dog’s ( ) mother ,said: “I want you to take this bowl of broth and a jar of jelly up the road to Mrs. Hound Dog; she is very sick.” Bennie Dog took the jelly and broth tc Mrs. Hound Dog and then he went away, thinking it was very nice to be sick, and on the way home he met Ned Dog, who lived over the hill. Bennie Dog told Ned all about the gzood things that Mrs. Hound Dog had brought to her just because she was sick. “Why don’t you get sick. Bennie Dog,” said Ned Dog, “and I will tell everybody how ill you are and that you can only eat nice, delicate things. Bennie Dog thought that would be px ABBOTT lingered one instant to probationer. Then: “Let the mothers wait!” he command- ed curtly, and started after the fugi- tive. She had a long start of him, but love put speed into Dr. Abbott’s legs. Besides, it was the first time he had seen Nan Keller display any human emotion whatever. He caught her at the gate, grasped her about the waist and pulled her into the shade of a lilac tree. : “It’s all right—it’s all right, now,” he expostulated. “No, it isn’t all right!” Nan tragically. “Let me go! go! I've mixed the babies.”’ He held her like a struggling bird. “Listen! Listen! Tome back! I know every baby by sight in the dark, and the mothers know them, too. We'll have them sorted out tn a jiffy.” Nan raised her wet face. “Are you sure?” she stammerea. The doctor nodded. “Fond of ba- bies, Miss Nan?” he asked. “I love them—I love them,” she said, with tragic comedy in her tones. “I didn’t think you could love,” an- swered Dr Abbott. “Miss Nan—Nan— if you can love, won't you try to prac- tice on a grown-up—on me?” Nan’s cheeks flamed. “I—I—” began.

Brown was a native of Philadelphia, and his ancestors were Quakers, who came over with William Penn. He studied law, but abandoned that profes- sion for literature. ‘‘Wieland,”’ his first novel, was published in 1798, and was followed the next year by “Ormond.” Both novels were successful, and, al- though they now seem rather crude, they stood as the best American fiction up to Cooper. “Edgar Huntley;,/The Adventures of a Sleepwalker,” was his next novel, and it was followed by “Clara Howard,” “Jane Talbot’’ and other tales. Brown died of consumption, and, although his literary career covered only 18 years, groaning in the house and his legs began to tremble, for he wondered if Ned Dog would tell how they had planned to get all the nice things to eat. If he did, Bennie Dog knew what would happen to him when his mother heard about it. Bennie Dog had intended to give Ned Dog a good shaking for playing such a shabby trick on him, but he knew by the groans that Ned Dog was suffering for-it without any punishment from him, so he ran home. Bennie Dog’s mother was waiting in the doorway for him, sure he had gone mad, but Bennie Dog told her he suddenly felt quite well and thought a good run over the hill would make him well, and it had, and he was hungry.

By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee for the Future City Athletic Clab and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. Jack White received a lot of ad- vance ‘‘boosting’’ for the little he dis- Played in his bout with Bobby Ander- son at the Future City Athletic Club last Tuesday night. Thoughtless critics had praised him highly during the past week, and the only reason for it seems to lie in the fact that he is a brother of Charlie White, a real boxer and fighter. Jack White was rated as a fairly good boxer several years ago, but he was never of championship quality, and today he is hardly a good second rater. After all his years of experience, he has neither boxing science, punch or generalship. judging by his contest with Anderson. It was White's first appear- ance in St. Louis, and it is reasonable to presume that he was doing his best. He took umbrage at the decision ren- dered against him, but he will receive little consolation from anyone who saw the bout and will tell him the truth. For the past two years White has been going back. His record is no loneg- er printed in the current sport annuals, and has not been used by any of the publishers since 1913. When he came to St. Louis he was asked what his record had been for the past vear and a half, but he pleaded forgetfulness and failed to produce it. Notwithstanding, he has been written of here as a cham- pionship contender, etce., etc., all be- cause he is a brother of Charlie. The only resemblance between the two lies in their relationship—not in their fight- ing ability. ae Russell to Box at Buffalo. Frankie Russel!, the New Orleans light- weight, who was spoken of as an opponent for Bobby Anderson before the South Broad- way A, C. on May Il, has gone to Buffalo. N. Y., where he is matched with Frankie Nelson for 10 rounds on May 5. ‘‘Tekle’’ Sanders, who was here with Russell, has a 10-round bout scheduled with Matt Brock at Minneapolis for May 9 or 12. ‘‘Instructions’’ to boxers at the Future City A. C. have been discontinued where it is known the contestants have appeared here before and are familiar with the rules. A repetition of ‘‘instructions” by each time they appear is a mere waste of time and delays the performance. If a boxer who is familiar with procedure here carelessly or deliberately violates the rules during a contest he may we called to account for it then. Considering the amount of professiona! box- ing aone.in St. Louis, good Material is scarce and promoters have trouble in making up their bouts. However, care should be exer- cised not to nermit boxers in the ring who are not in good physical condition. The clubs are supposed to have examining phy- sicilans, and if these medical men do their strict duty some toxers who have appeared during the past season would be barred as unfit. No serious accident has happened in the local ring for years, and none is wanted. —_->-@— The Cleveland high school track team nosed out the Ferguson high squad, 51 to 44, in a dual track meet at Francis Field, vester- day afternoon. The performances in both the referee track and. field events lacked any special merit. New Marathon Course a Bad One, Forshaw Thinks © Fourteen Miles of the 25 to Be Run Over Paved Streets or Roads—Old Freeburg Route the Best of All, Vet- eran M. A. A. €‘ar Believes. é a HEN the Missouri Athletic Association officials this year changed the course for the annual marathon a turn, they made a mistake, is the opinion of Joe Forshaw, from a point-to-point race to one with who has ¢om- peted in marathons himself, having won the first race staged by the Cherry Diamond in 1905 and ran third in the Olympic race at London ig 1912, among a score of other feats credited to him. “IT do not like the new course, nor do any of the other runners,’’ said For- shaw ‘this morning ‘The only way to run a marathon is from one given point to another. I have run them both ways and I know. Not only will the new course dampen the enthusiasm of the runners, but also of the spectators. “Under the course mapped out for the race next Saturday, the runners will have to travel about 14 miles‘on paved streets, while there will be only ll on the country roads. This will make it a hard trial for the runners and, as far as Il am concerned, I do not like it, al- though I will not be competing. ‘Then there will not be the same en- thusiasm. It’s hard on a runner to go to the half-way mark and then come back. He gets there and is pretty well tired out and then to have to do the same thing all over again is a pretty tough job. Freeburg Course Best. “When we staged the event over the old Freeburg course, we had the great- est number of entries and the people who really liked the game turned out to see the runners. Edgemont, Belle- ville and all the other small! cities along the line turned out to cheer us. It was the same with the Gumbo course, which Was given up only this season and also in the one event run over the Normandy course. ‘‘Members of the club in former years made it an all-day outing. They would take their machines to the start and follow the men in. I do not think a great many of them will go to the half- way point following the men and then come back again. ‘“‘My personal opinion is that the club would profit greatly if it went back to the old Freeburg course, as it was on a straight line.’’ It was announced this morning by Coach Wilbur Hutsell of the Cherry Diamond that 15 runners had entered the event. which will be the twelfth annual affair. It could easily be called the ‘“‘Hatch marathon.”’ as the Windy City veteran, who is 34 vears old, has won six of the 11 already run.. What’s more, he is picked to again lead the field home next Saturday. Forshaw Defeated Hatch. After finishing second to Forshaw in the first race in 1905, Hatch started win- ning. He gained first place in 1906, 1907 and 1908. Then came a two-year: lapse. He did not compete in 1910, but in 1911 he came back and again showed the way home. Then another lapse of two years. After this, Hatch once more hit a win- ning stride and won in 1914 and 1915. Only four runners connected with local clubs have entered the race. William Mathews, who is picked to give Prag and the other Windy City men a fight for leading honors, and Henry Levingon will represent the M. A. A., while Bill Tsimpris, the only local runner to fin- ish among the first seven last year, and Charles Brickey will carry the colors of the Columbian A. C. Another entry that has been received by the club officials is that of A. Monteverde, the 42-year-old runner, from Morristown, NN. %. his veteran competed in the race nt vear and finished was th, ner.
