WASHINGTON, May 16.—Gen. Car- Te-~a has agreed to Major-General Scott's informa’ understanding with Obregon, which provides that Carranza forces shall endeavor+eto show their ability to contro] the situation in North- ern Mexico while American troops re- main for the time being. > WASHINGTON, May 16.—The net re- sult of the military conference at EF! Paso, as reported today by Major-Gen- eral Scott to Secretary Baker, has been to convince the Carranza Government that the United States has no other pur- pose in its operations in Northern Mex- ico to stamp out brigandage and 48 @ consequence there exists substan- tially an unwritten understanding that the Carranza forces shall endeavor:to demonstrate their ability to handle the situation as the necessary first step to- ward withdrawal of the American ex- pedition. Secretary Baker laid before President Wilson and the Cabinet the information brought by Major General Scott. After *’the Cabinet meeting it was reiterated that no armed intervention was in pros- pect and that the situation apparentiy was improving. Information laid before the Cabinet was to the effect that the Carranza Government was making hea/‘I- way im controlling the country and ii establishing civil government and was ‘becoming stronger. “" : Gen. Scott believes Gen...Obregon is acting in good faith and that the border situation is less critical today, so far as the American Government is con- cerned. ‘ What Obregon Is to Do. To carry out his share of the plans, Gen, Obregon has agreed to occupy and police the Parral- district, and search the mountainous regions to the west of that town for remnants of Villa’s followers. He also agreed to establish a strong putrol line along the Mex! Side of the Big Bend country to prevent incursions such as that at Glenn Springs and Bodquillas. For that purposs. Gen. Obregon has or- dered into those regions 10,000 troops under Gen. Trevino, said to be the most efficient field commander in the Car- Tanza army. Advices t» the War and State Department indicate that the movements are being carried out promptly. Anothé? important element and one which American army officers regarded as most vital to Brigadier General Per- shing’s line of communications, was cleared up by Gen. Obregon’s agree- ment not to bring the large force of Car- ranza’s troops in. Sonora through Pulpit Pass in Gen. Pershing’s rear. | On their side, Gen. Scott and Gen Funston assured Gen. Obregon that pre- cautions. would be taken by American commanders not to dispose of forces so as to embarrass the eperation of the Mexican troops and also that the border patrol on the American side would tbe strengthened. | As to. Villa himself, neither American nor Mexican officials séem to have any knowledge of his present whereabouts. or anything positive to show that he is #tili alive. Gen. Obregon believes hira to be dead. Arguments Used on Obregon. The first obstacle encountered by the American conferees at El Paso was the necessity of convincing Gen. regon that the expedition after la was not an ifitervention step. The size and composition of the force , aroused’ alarm among Mexican offi- clals, and it was pointed out to Gen. Scott that it was not customary for posses in pursuit of one man to go with field guns and mountain artil- lery. The American officials finally “gucceeded in persuading the War Minister that the United States Gov- ermment had no intention other than its an ced purpose to capture Willa or disperse the bandit’s fol- lowers and end the disturbed condi- _ fons along the border.

Pe WASHINGTON, May 16.—President Wilson plans to discuss with Secretary Lansing within the next few days the message from Pope Benedict, delivered at the White House recently by Mgr. Bonstano, the apostolic delegate, relat- ing to the continuance of friendly re- s betWeen Germany and the Unit-}. tates and: indirectly bearing on the possibility of bringing about general peace in Europe. As soon'as he has conferred with Secretary Lansing the President will send a reply to the Pope. Copies of a speech on peace delivered by President Poincare and an interview on the same subject given to newspa- pers by Sir Edward Grey have been laid before the President. Officials said today that while there were no definite developments toward peace, the President was following the question very carefully.

MEETING Escorts of Delegates to Convention Will Take No Part in the Proceedings. NEW YORK, May 16.—Husbands who accompany their wives to the Gener2! Federation of Wometh’s Clubs beginning here next week will be turned over to the men's clubs of the city. The Feder- ation’s Committee on Husbands an- nounced this decision today, after wrest- ‘ling with one of the most perplexing problems of the converition. The only function on the program at which husbands will be expected next week is an excursion to the Edison EHlec- tric plant. At other times the plan is to have them entertained by the men’s clubs, which will extend hospitality. ST, LOUIS SHORT OF SMALL COIN Weekly Limit of Pennies and Nickels Put on Banks. There is a shortage of small change. Incredible as this might seem to many of us, it is vouched for by Subtreasurer Vandiver, who today issued an order limjting the amount of nickels and pen- nies which will be furnished to the banks by the gsubtreasury. The banks will be permitted to obtain only $100 worth of pennies and $600 worth of nickels in exchange for larger coins each week. The Subtreasurer says increased busi- ness throughout the country has created an unusual demand for small coins with which to make change. MOOSE HAVE MUSIC PROGRAM Orchestra and Possibly Opera Stars to Appear at Convention. CHICAGO, May 10—The committee In charge of arrangements of the Progres- sive national convention, to be held here in\June, are planning to fill in waits be- tween speeches and committee reports at the convention with music, it was made known today. Fifty men from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Opera band have been engaged for orchestral duty and a number of grand opera stars are under consideration, it is said. ‘ a a COUNT VON MOLTKE SAYS ALLIES. ARE AT A STANDSTILL Former Head of German . Army Discusses Various Phases of War. BERLIN, via London, May 16.— The position of the Central Powers justifies the belief that the entente allies will not be able to accomplish more in the future than they have in the past, which is “nothing,’ in the opinion of Lieutenant-General Count Helmuth von Moltke, chief of the supplementary general staff of the German army, expressed in an interview granted to the Berlin cof- respondent of the Hungarian news- paper, A-Vilag. This is the first public statement from the former head of the German army since his retirement from the position of Chief of Staff after the battle of the Marne and may be accepted as the gen: eral view of the army.” . France, says Gen, von Moltke, al- ready has nearly all her available reserves in the field and has recruit- ed her youngest men to an extent exceeding that of the Central Pow- ers. AsS to England, even if she adopts compulsery . servica,-~ that’ measure will add only a few hundred thousand men to the force she al- ready has in the field and will have little effect in determining the war, in the opinion of the General. Russians Blocked He Says. The Russians, he declares, are unable to assume a general offensive, and the lines of the central Powers in Russia are so strong that they cannot be breached, while the Italians stand in the same place they did a year ago, and it is inconcelvable that they can break the Austrian line, In response tv a question as to whether he believed the United States would continue to furnish ammunition to the allies, even in the case of a breach of diplomatic relations or actual war; or whether it would retain the ammunition for itself, Gen. von Maltke replied: “I am firmly convinced that nothing will hinder America from continuing to furnish ammunition. America desires to do business, and her desire {is comprehen- sible. Her chief aim is good business. President Wilson has heretofore issued no prohibition upon the exportation of ammunition, nor will he in the future. The Americans decldre that they are not violating neutrality by munition exports because they also would have giadly furnished munitions to us. This is. however, as it chances, unnecessary. Munitions Are Equalized. “The Government factories do not furnish any ammunition to the entente, but that is Immaterial, for the private factories simply furnish the more. It is therefore not to be expected that whatever the course of the war, Amer- ica will stop furnishing ammunition to the allies.” Gen. von Moltke de- clared that the central Powers were able to make all the ammunition they required and that at first they had the advantage of’ the allies in this respect. But American shipments had equalized the situation. , LT, — f a SS, Post-Dispatch alone 48 cols.

STRIKERS ACCEPT COMPROMISE PLAN OF THE BUILDERS Laborers Will Return to Work Tomorow; Scale to Be 30 Cents an Hour. ~MEANS. A Excavators and Wreckers Will Meet Tomorrow to Try to Reach. Agreement. The strike of 3000 men, which has tied up building jobs in St. Louis since May 1, was virtually settled this afternoon, when an agreement was reached be- tween the Building Trades Council and the Master Builders’ Association; wher2- by the building contractors agree to pay members of the Hod Carriers’ and Building Laborers’ Union No. 22 50 cents an hour for a nine-hour day. Time and one-half will be paid for overtime. and double time will be paid for Sunday and holiday work. This recently formed independent union of hod carriers and laborers ig not recognized as a union. This settlement means that work will be resumed tomorro morning on all buildings which are above the excava- tion stage. An agreement has not yet been reached with the excavating and wrecking contractors. The laborers are demanding 27% cents an hour for exca- vating and 25 cents an hour for wreck- ing.: A conference on this demand will be held tomorrow. The men have been reeciving trom 20 to 2 cents an hour building labor and from 9 to 17% cents an hour for wreck- ing and excavating on basis of a 10-hour day. \. Father Dempsey Suggested Terms. Today’s settlement was the one sug- gested by the Rev. Father Timothy Dempsey, who twice in the last year has successfully arbitrated teamsters strikes. Hodcarriers’ and Builders’ Laborers’ Union is a recently formed organization, independent of a larger and stronger union of hodcarriers. It is affiliated with the Building Trades Council,, byt tire vider organization is not. G The newly formed union on May 1 de- +manded 3S cents an hour for an eight- hour day, time and a half for overtime and double time for Sundays dnd holi- days. It also demanded recognition -as @ union. Men in some of the building trades af- fillated with the Building Trades Coun- cil went out on a sympathetie strike when these demands were refused and since then building in St. Louis has beea at a standstill. Another Conference Tomorrow. The only hitch now remaining to pre- vent a full settlement of the strike the demand that the wrecking contra:- tors pay 2% cents and the excavating contractors 30 cents. It is believed that a compromise.on this demand will '> reached at tomorrow's mecting. Con- tractors hitherto have refused to limit themselves to union men for this class wf work. Plans for a permanent toard of arbitration, to prevent even short strikes in future, and to save both wcrkers and employers the loss which strikes always entail, are un- der consideration. Such a board may be created asa direct result of the present settlement. With such a bedy in existencs, disputes would be settled while the men remain at werk. This plan has been success- fully tested in Chicago in the building trades. NOT ENOUGH NATURAL GAS TO SUPPLY EAST ST, LOUIS Mayor Tells Counctl He Has Been So Informed by Officer of the Cahekia Compary. Mayor Moliman told the City Council last night that it is doubtful if East St. Louis will get any natural gas. He said Thomas Gillespie, an officer of the Cahokia Gas and Oil Co., told him that the supply was insufficient, and that pipes would not be laid to East St. Louis until it fe seen how the fleld develops. Councilman Fowler replied that he had figures to prove that the field is producing 100,000,000 cubic feet a day, which is more than all Madison County could possibly use, and he expressed the opinion that “somebody was trying to pull the wool over the Council’s eyes.”’ Molimas assured the Councilmen that the company would not be allowed to put natural gas into East St. Louis ‘mains without the assent of the Council.

DICTATORSHIP Distribution of All Supplies Will Be Regulated From One Department. By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. BERLIN, via Amsterdam and London, May 16.—Dress is no tonger a topic for conversation among German women. It has. been completely surovl-nted by tae food question. Wherever two women meet it is, “Oh, what did you have to eat today”’ ‘“‘How ltong did your serv- ant bave to stand in line?’ One tells how she ..as a cousin who has a meat market or a butter store; which makes it easier for her to get supplies. There was a time when the average woman of Berlin did not like to admit she was related to a butcher, a butter shop proprietor or a store- keeper, but today Berlin women tell with pride of such relationships. To be next of kin to a butcher, a waker or a m'lkman now raises one above ‘the co:mn- mon level. There has been still greater restri-:- tion and economy in tne use and dis- tribution of butter, which is now Jim- ited to a quarter of a pound a week for each person. It is planned to keep butter consumption within one-third of what it was in 1915. “Goulash Cannons” a Success. Experiments with “goulash cannon” or “‘wheeled ‘distributing kitchens’’ in the suburb of Lichtenberg have >soved so successful that Charlcttenburg, one of the tine residential sections of Ber- lin, is establishing and installing thent These distribute steamins; hot stew and other dishes, cooked in the _ central kitchens. The stew is sold at 8 cents per= quart. The April census of livestock has shown the necessity for greater care in til fall. Today a conference at the min- istry of the interior impresses hotel and restaurant owners ‘hat restrictive measures must be enforced. As soon as the new department of ministry, which is to take charge of the feeding of Germany’s 70,000,000 is organized, the entire empire is to be on uniform rations. Maximum prices and the strictest economy sre to be en- forced. Every possible wastage and leakage is to be stopped. Stories in: London newspapers of food riots in Germany are declared to be in- consistent with the facts. So far as concerns the demonstration in and around Berlin, from personal investiga- tion it appears that the anger of the crowds is directed wholly against the food usurers. Reports that this or that nieat market or butter store has secret- ed quantéties of food find ready cred- ence, even when untrue, and are quickly productive of a_run and a demonstration against this ‘‘enemy of the Fatherland’”’ by the angry hausfraus and _ their servants. Stories of Firing on People Denied. Allegations that the police or the mil- itary have fired many times upon such demonstrations, or that peopc have been killed tn or around Berlin, as pub- lished abroad, so far as I have seen or been able to ascertain from those taking part in such demonstrations, appear to have been wholly untrue. In only one case, where the crowd stormed a’ market, the proprietor of which had concealed a considerable quantity of meats supplied to him by the municipality, was it necessary for the police to draw their swords to prove that they were in earnest. In the ma- jcrity of riots the police have been showing wnusual consideration in deal- ing with the people. Two questions confront the. German people, the German press and the Ger- man ‘Government, now that the Ameri- can crisis is considered .to be ended. These are the reorganization of the ministry of the interior, precipitated by the resignation of Minister Delbreuck, and the food question. Although several Berlin papers denied the statement made to the Post-Dispatch on May 10 that Germany was considering the advisa- bility of establishing what in effect would be a Minister of Food, the Co- logne Gazette, in a dispatch from Ber- lin today, confirms the story. The Berlin Zeitung am Mittag today refers to it as a dictatorship for foodstuffs.”’ It will be the task of the Minister of Food or whatever title may be given to the man who will fill this contemplated central department or ministry of food- stuffs, to control and direct the sup- plies and the feeding of the besieged empire's population. It will constitute the most gigantic paternal and social- fatic plan known for feeding the people of a nation upon an’ equal ‘asis. It is no longer a war of chivalrous arms on |the battlefield, but.is the German stom- ach against the British hunger noose about Germany’s throat. Other States in Conference. Conferences are being held dafly. to- gether with representatives of Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemberg and the other states which make u> the empire, at which plans for a complete centraliza- tion in obtaining supplies and distrib- uting them are discussed.

Pr Morris Goldfelder, 42 years old, of 1487 Biddle street, a secondhand cloth- ing dealer, was held a prisoner in the Dayton Street Police Station from 5:30 | last evening until midnight, because of an expression of suspicion made against him by Octavius C. McCune, prison guard at the station, who lives at 455° Wichita street. Goldfelder “was arrested by specia's from the Dayton Street Station, after the police of the Wyoming Street Sta- tion. where McCune first reported the matter, had questioned Goldfelder and released him. He is now at liberty on a common law bond. Goldfelder called at the McCune home a few days ago and bought some gar- ments. Later McCune missed a purse containing $20, and decided that the money was in the pocket of a pair of trousers which he had sold to Goldfel- der. McCune went to the Pyoming Street Station and the police there sent for Gold- felder and questioned him. He denied knowing anything about the missing purse, and they dropped the matter. When McCune went to the Dayton Street Station yesterday afternoon he told of the matter, and two specials from the station arrested Goldfe-der. The clothing dealer repeated his state- ment that he had not seen the money, but he was placed in a cell, guarded by his accuser, and would have been kept over night if friends had not found a bondsman for him. A Post-Dispatch reporter inquired at the Dayton Street Station today as to the reason for holding Goldfelder. In the absence of Capt. Singleton, who is not on duty this week, those itn charge at the station sald they thought it prop- er to present the matter to the Presecut- ing Attorney, and for that reason hel4 Goldfelder until he could furnish bond, although there was no evidence against him.

JUST IN TIME T0 STOP HS FUNERAL ‘Widow’ Had Made Elaborate Arrangements for Burial of Wrong Man Today. The “funeral” of William T. Turner, 43 years old, of 2123 South Seventh street, which was scheduled to take plece at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the Witt funeral parlors, -809 Hickory street, was suddenly post- poned this morning when Mrs. Tur- ner excitedly telephoned Charles Witt of the undertaking firm that her husband, who had been missing since March 11, had returned home. Mrs. Turner and several neighbors had identified a body which was taken from the river last Wednes- cay as that of Turner. The body was that of a man about 40 years old, and apparently had been in the river about a’month, but Mf Tur- ner and Mrs. Adeliza Lambert of 514 Htickory street, and Mrs. Lecta Thompson of 611 Hickory street were positive when they visited the mcergue two days ago that a blue suit, which was on the body, was one worn by Turner when he disappeared. Mrs. Turner made her identification still more positive by declaring that a hole in the dead man’s head was like one which the missing Turner bore, received in an accident several years ago. She also identified scars on the dead man’s body. An inquest was held yesterday over the body. at which Mrs, Turner and her neighbors testified. The “widow” had had the body removed’ to the un- dertaking parlors and had gone to considerable expense for ‘the funeral, purchasing an expensive casket. The burial was to have been in the S&. Peter and Paul Cemetery. The body of the man has been re- turned to the morgue, and Mrs. Turner has removed her widow's weeds. She did not reveal what explanations her jusband had given for his long ab- sence. TAFT CALLS ON JUSTICE HUGHES Leaders Believe Jurist Told Eix-Pres- ident He Would Accept Nomination.

Sir Roger Weeps While W: ing Statement in Court, First Sign of Emotion Since His Hearing Began. Crowd of Several Hundred Wait for Hours at Second Day of Treason Trial in Bow Street Court. 3 LONDON, May 16.—How the crew of Roger Casement’s arms ship, the Aud, was sunk By its own crew when stopped by a British patrol boat was told this « oe - | * ae .* ‘afternoon at the arraignment in the Bow Street Police Court of Sir Roger and of Daniel J. Bailey, a private sol- dier, on a charge of high treason. ~ __ The story was told by Sidney Wag- — horn, a signal man on the patrol ship, the Bluebell, and proved to be the most interesting testimony of the day. | The Aud was sent out from Kiel with arms and ammunition to fulfill in part promises of assistance said to have been made by the Germans. She was held up on suspicion off the west coast of Ireland not far from Tralee by the British naval patrol ship Bluebell and was being taken to Queenstown when she was sunk by her own crew. Wag- horn testified: - “Early Good Friday morning the Bluebell was on patrol duty off the sighted a ship flying the Norwegian colors. We signalled her and asked who | she was and where she was bound. She replied that she was the Aud bound for Bergen for Genoa. At that time we were about 130 miles west of Queenstown. Shell Fired at Aud. “We ordered the Aud to follow but she did not do so until we fired a shell. Then she proeeeded' with us. “When we got near Daunts Rock, the Aud stopped her engines. The Bite- bell was then a cable's length away from her, and we saw white smoke coming from her afterhold. Two Ger- man ensigns were run up on her magt- head. The Aud lowered two boafs, which were rowed toward the Bluebell. We fired around these boats. They flew flags of truce and the occupants put up their hands. They were prisoners. They proved to be 19 or German bluejackets, with three offi- cers. Ten minutes later the Aud sank, about a mile and a quarter from the lightship.” e< For hours this morning crowds of peo- ple stood in line around Bow Street police station waiting for the resump- ion of the arraignment of Sir Roger, The little courtroom was crowded within five minutes after the doors were opened and many hundreds of men and women were unable to obtain admis- sion. : Supt. Quinn of Scotland Yard, whe ts in charge of the police arrangements, voiced the popular feoling sbout ths hearing when he said: “I have followed every notable case that Bow street has known in matiy years, but the court has never been the scene of an examination so full of dra. matic interest as the present one. Ths tense state of popular feeling as to the war has, of course, been a factor, But the case in itself has features which raise it far above the level of any crim~- inal hearing in my memory.” ant May Not Take Stand. There was some speculation today as to whether Carcement’s lawyers would place him on the stand at this prelim- inary hearing.

S. Has Right to Ask About. U-Boat Commander’s Penalty > oo - German Precedents Are Cited STERLING E. EDMUNDS. Lecturer on International Law, ? Leouts Untversity Law school. While the main controversy between the United States and Germany appears to be settled by the new German pledge hereafter to conform her submarine operations to the established laws of naval warfare, the cases of the Sussex, Lusitania and others remajiy to be dis- posed -of before the dangerous conditions in the relations of the two Governments are entirely removed. In each of these cases there must be disavowal and rep- aration and adequate punishment of the responsible authors of the illegal acts. The United States cepted the disavowal and offer of indem- nity made in the German note of May 11 in the Sussex case, but it is reported to be seeking to learn the character of punishment inflicted upon the command- er of the submarine which attacked the channel steamer. The German note gaid merely: “It also disapproves of the ctohuss of the commander, who has been appropri- ately punished.’’ The United States Government, ac- cording to reports from Washington, ap- parently feels that punishment in this case should be severely exemplary. The term “appropriately punished’’ ‘s so vague that inquiry might very properlv be made to learn definitely of its cnar- acter and to decline to aequiesce in the measures taken if they should appear to be inadequate. While it has been reported that the ‘United States might insist upon the ex- treme penalty in the case of the Sussex commander, it has been contrary to the practice of our State Department in cases of the kind to contend for a spe- cifle penalty, but rather to leave the punishment to the discretion of the oth- er state, where there was no reason to question its good faith. Germany Practice Different. The practice of Germany, on the other hand, has been quite different, as may be seen from the history of the Boxer uprising in China in 1900. In June of that year, during the siege of the lega- tions in Pekin, Baron von Ketteler, the German Minister, was shot and killed. En Hai, a Manchu ofifcer, who was in command of the soldiers who fired wun the Minister’s chair, was arrested. On Dec. 31 the German military authorities composing a part of the allied expe:it- tionary forces, took. En Hai to the spt where Von Ketteler was killed and pub- licly beheaded him. Not content with this, Germany required an expiatory mission from the Chinese Emperor to the German Emperor, headed by Prince Ch’un, and the erection of a memorial arch the whole width of the street at the spot where Von Ketteler died, ir- scribec with expressions of regret cf the Emperor of China in the German, Latin and Chinese languages. After the expeditionary forces had raised the siege and China opened ne- gotiations for peace through Li Hung Chang, the Imperial German charge at Washington stated that his Government deemed it a preliminary condition.to ne- gotiation that the Chinese Government should surrender for punishment such persons as should be determined upon as the first veal perpetrators of the st.| has not yet ac-, crimes committed in Pekin against :n- ternational law. Secretary Hay, replying, said that while the United States proposed to hold the responsible authors to the utte-- most accountability, ‘‘no punitive meas- ures can be so effective by way of reparation for wrongs suffered and 4s deterrent examples for the future as responsible authors by the supreme im- rerial authority itself.’’ Whiletthe United States insisted upon commensurate punishment in every case, it did not itself attempt to desig- nate the penalties. In several instances Secretary Hay addressed the Chinese Minister upon the ‘‘vagueness in regard to the punishment which some of the inculpated persons are to receive,” and declared, “‘it would be most regrettable if Prince Tuan, who appears from con- current testimony of the legations in Peking to have been one of the fore- most in the proceedings complained of, should escape such full measure of ex- emplary punishment as the facts war- rant, or if Kang Yi and Chao-Shu-Chiao should receive other than their just de- serts.”’ Punishment Was Satisfactory, Through the stand of the United States the Chinese Government was left free to carry out its own punishments, which proved to be satisfactory. Prince Tuan was sentenced to death, Chao- Shu-Chiao td suicide, and posthumous degradation was inflicted upon Kang Yi, who had taken his life. Many others were similarly sentenced to death and exile. Reverting to the guilt of German sub- marine commanders in their violations of the laws of naval warfare, there is no difficulty in inflicting punishment where the commanders have violated admiralty instructions. Such a case is presented in the torpedoing of the Sus- sex, an unarmed and unresisting pas- senger vessel. ty instructions required previous warn- ing as to such vessels and an oppor- tunity for those on board to take to the boats. But the Lusitania case ap- pears different; that vessel was torpe- doed without warning, apparently in pursuance of specific instructions. The commander obeyed orders, as he was bound to do, notwithstanding the or- ders were contrary to law. The responsibility in this case is, therefore, upon the German Govern- ment, perhaps upon the Grand Admiral or the Kaiser himself. When we con- sider the popularity of the submarine in Germany as a weapon of war and the ardent esteem in which their command- ers are held, the infliction of punish- ment upon them, involving degradation, becomes a matter of serious internal concern. It might even jeopardize the stability of the State. The United States will no doubt wisely take these circum- stances into consideration and not ask more than it can reasonably hope can be granted. The German Government can perhaps go no further safely than to transfer the blame to Admiral von Tirpitz as the responsible author of past illegal practices and to contend that he has already been punished by his retire- } ment. , Ma garding the activities of Casement Germany. O’Brien said that after Casement left Limburg recruiting for the Irish brigade was carried on by an American priest named Nicholson. Michael O’Connor testified, in referring to an address made by Casement to Irish prisoners at Limburg, that the prisoner said to men who hooted him: “You are followers oi that recruiting Sergeant for the British army, Johnny | Redmond.” Another witness, named Wilson, who belonged to the Dublin Fusiliers, said Casement told them: ‘“‘Take no notice of your uncrowned King, John Red- mond.’’ In opening the case for the crown, the Attorney-General charged Casement had conducted a systematic campaizn among the Irish prisoners in Germany ‘with the purpose of seducing them from their allegiance. Bailey, he said, had been deceived in this manner arid had made a menement explaining Casement’s action. ASIATIC EXCLUSION TO BE BY LATITUDE AN DLONGITUDE Senate Committee Adopts Amend- ment Removing Japanese From Immigration Bill. WASHINGTON, May 16.—To ‘meet Japan's objection to having the so- called ‘‘gentleman’s agreement”’ for the restriction of immigration enacted into law in the pending immigration bill, the Senate Immigration Committee today agreed upon an amendment which re- moves the Japanese entirely from the bill but accomplishes Asiatic exclusion otherwise, by a specification of latitude and longitude which will take in China, Siberia, India and the islands of the Malay Archipelago with the exception of the Philippines. It leaves immigra- tion from Japan to be governed entirely by the Root-Takahira agreement. The change is understood to be-satisfactory to the State Department. From the great block of territory in Central Asia the only country excepted from the blanket exclusion is Persia. Restriction on immigration from Persia is imposed, however, by a special treaty. That China, along most of its sea coast, ig not in “excluded” territory, but the Chinese exclusions laws of this country would be applicable there.

Parade Here Would Be Tremendous Aid, Says Security League Head NEW YORK, May i6. St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis, Mo.: T would be a tremendous aid to | the cause of adequate prepar- edness for national defense if St. Louis could have a demonstra- tion such as thrilled New York and the nation last Saturday. The spectacle of 150,000 men marching in a parade that lasted for 12 hours was inspiring and demonstrated not only that patriotism is not dead, but that the people on the exposed Atlantic coast realize pos- sible danger and demand security against attack. What concerns the Atlantic coast concerns the nation and support from the Middle West would dem- onstrate to Congress the nation- wide interest of the American peo- ple in this vital issue. S. STANWOOD MENKEN, President National Security League. : The National Security League, with headquarters in the La Salle Building, is planning a preparedness parade as a result of the one in New York last Sat- urday, when more than 130,000 marched through the streets for 13 hours. No ‘date has been selected, but the suggestion most favored is to have the parade in the week beginning June 14, when the Democratic convention is in session here. As an additional assurance that the greatest possible number of persons will have an opportunity. to join -in. the parade, one of the plans under consid- eration, according to Horace D. Johns, local secretary of the league, is to invite all of the cities and towns it the Mississippi Valley to participate. Would Attract Visitors. Thousands of out-of-town visitors will be in St. Louis in convention week and it is believed that the added attraction of a monster preparedness parade would greatly increase the number. If, as suggested, the parade is on one of the days when the convention was in session the convention delegates and spectators will be asked to join it in a body. Another tentative plan which has met with less favor is to have the parade on July 4, in connection with the municipal celebration of the national holida Considerable opposition to this plan has developed among league members, who have pointed out that most per- sons prefer to celebrate the Fourth in their own way and that thousands al- ways leave the city on that day on ex- cursions and fishing trips. To Take Up Piass Thursday. As against the Fourth of July cele- bration it also has been urged that the advertising possibilities of convention week will be much greater, as the eyes of the entire country will then be cen- tered on St. Louis. Plans for the parade will be discussed by the Executive Committee of the league at a special meeting Thursday, BOYS, 12, MAY BE ACCUSED OF STEALING HORSE AND BUGGY While Piaying “Hookey,’ They Find Rig in Lemay Ferry Road and Ride Off in It.

Gardner, when reached on long distance telephone yesterday aft- ernoon at Marshall, Mo., where he was campaigning the interests of his candidacy for the Democratic nomina- tion for Governor, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the Missouri Anti-Saloon League was ‘“‘making a mountain out of a molehill’” in charging that the St. Louis Coffin Co., of which he is president, had sent out whisky in cof- fins to its customers in dry territory. “T will wait until they make their statement before I reply to it,’’ Gard- ner said. The Anti-Saloon League has been making a political fight upon Gardner because of his refusal to assure the league that if elected Governor he would sign a prohibition measure if such a law were passed by the Legis- lature. in Shupp Sure of Facts. The Rev. W. C. Shupp, superintendent of the Missouri Anti-Saloon League. on his return to St. Louis from Springfield, Mo.. today, said: *“‘We have established the fact that the St. Louis Coffin Co., of which Gardner is president, gratuitously sent liquor to its customers and that the liquor was shipped in coffins. This was done in 1907 or 1908. We do not knew whether it has been done since then. “A former superintendent of vhe league, now dead, had a letter written by the St. Louis Coffin Co. to a custom- er in which the inducement was held out that if he would buy coffins from the company he would receive wsifts of liquor with the shipments. This letter has been lost or misplaced. We can’t find it. “Mr. Sloan, a manager for the com- pany, admitted to me personally that liquor had been sent in coffins to cus- tomers in dry territory. He said the full responsibility for this rested on him. Sloan said the liquor was sent 2s a gift. We are not charging that Gard- ner or his company ever sold liquor, but we are charging that liquor was sent into dry territory, this being in many cases a violation of the law. We mean in view of the fact that he has repeatedly asserted that if elected Governor he would enforce the law. We hold that Gardner was responsible for the acts of his. company.” Sloan Is Silent. J. J. Sloan, secretary and genera! manager of the coffin company, told .a reporter that he was unwilling to dis- cuss the league's investigation, as he feared that anything he might say “‘would only make confusion more con- founded.” He was asked ff the com- pany at any time had enclosed liquor in shipments to customers and he replied that Gardner must answer that ques- tion.

When negotiations between the Unit- ed States rnd de facto Governments will »e resumed still is uncertain. Eliseo Arredond»s, the Mexican Ambassador designate, asked for instructions as to his course last week, but Gen. Obregon probably will not reach Mexico City for several days and the reply from Gen. Carranza is not e<pected at the embassy until the, War Minister's re- port has been recéived. War and State Department advices showed: no change today in the situa- tion in Mexico or along the border, While press reports have told of sev- eral raids of a minor character at various points in the last few days, Gen. Funston eithery has been unable to confirm these stories or has thought them too unimportant to bring to the attention of the War Department. Administration officials continue to express confidence that the forces now under Gen. Funston’s command will be able to protect the border in such fash- fon that repetitions of the Gienn Springs raid will be impossible unless there is ‘a general anti-American outbreak be-* yond the border in which Carranza troops participate. There is nothing to indicate the likelihood of such an event. On the contrary, all official advices at hand indicate that Carranza forces are being disposed to prevent raiding across the line by irresponsible outlaws.

LONDON, May 16.—The French in the Meause hills to the cast of Verdun, in @ surprise attack, have cleared the Germans from trenches over a--° front of about 200 yards and also have put dcwn in Champagne several German at- tacks. Bombardments alone are taking Place around Verdun. Along the British line in France bom- bardments and sapping operations are being carried on at various points. East of Loos the Germans succeeded in gain- ing a footing in British trenches, but were able to hold them only a few min- utes under a counter attack. The Italians in the Monte Adamello zone have succeeded in occupying posi- tions in the sector between Crezzon di Pangorida and Crozzon di Lares, which are of great strategic value in their movement against Trent. The Italians also have made further progress against the Austrians on Mount Sperone. At- tacks by tlhe Austrians to the north of Lenzumo were repulsed by the Ital- lans. Little fighting of moment is going on between Teutonic allies and the Rus- sians in. Russian territory except ar- tillery duels. In the Caucasus region the Russians are -cont!nuing their ad- vance against the Turks, according to Petrograd. In the operation toward Mosul, having Bagdad as its objective, the Turks are declared to have retreated | precipitately before the Russians, aban- dening war material. The Russians are pressing on in pursuit. The differences between Greece and the entente Powers have been amicably settled, according to an announcement of the British Foreign Office. This an- nouncement possibly means that Greece tas acquiesced in the requests of the entente allies for permission for Servian troops to cross Greece to Saloniki from the Island of Corfu.

LOUIS A PROBABLE STOP Wrights and Other Aeroplane - Makers Will Compete in Transcontinental Derby. MANY ENTRIES EXPECTED Fliers Enthusiastic Over Compe- tition for Pulitzer Trophy and $20,000 Prize. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 16.—Sept. 2 has been fixed as the date for the start, from New York, of the transcontinental aecro- plane race for the Ralph Pulitzer tro- phy and added cash prizes of more than $20,000,sunder the direction of the Aero Club of America. St. Louis will prob- ably be one of the principal stations in the race. The New York World yesterday, fol- lowing the first day’s announcement of the race, received many letters of in- dorsement, encouragement and inquiry. Gov. Whitman sent from, Albany a let- ter of greeting directed to the Governor of California, to be delivered by trans- letter continental mail. The reads: Hon. ‘Hiram W. mento, Cal. My dear Gov. Johnson: I greet again, this time by even a more re- markable route than the threads of wire which have Garried messages of good fellowship between New York and California so often this winter. A.new era is marked by the carry- ing of this message by human flight across the American Continent. May another link thus be established be- tween the peoplé of Atlantic and Pa- cific coasts. With kindest regards, believe me, most cordially yours, CHAS. W. WHITMAN. Manufacturers to Compete. aerial Johnson, Sacra- Leading constructors indicated to the Acro Club officials before the Pulitzer Was acceptea tnat they would trophy enter the transcontinental competition. The Wright company, through its pres- ident, Edward M. Hagar, was first to send assurance of co-operation, with two of its fastest machines in the con- test. The Federal] Aircraft and Motor Cor- poration of New Yorx announced it would enter two machines, and expect- ed at least four others of its own make to be entered by private owners. rom Secretary of the Navy Daniels, from members of the House and Sen- ate committees on military and navai affairs, from bureau chiefs concerned in the development of aerial defense and offense, came messages commending the natiorial aerial derby. The Aero Club announced the day’s developments in the following bulletin: “Sept. 2 was selected yesterday by the Contest Committee of the Aero Club of America as the date for starting the na- tional transcontinental aeroplane compe- tition. Mr, Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club and chairman of the Contest Committee, suggested this date as offering the advantages of a week- and preceding the Labor day holiday. Many Inquiries Made. “Inquiries by telegraph and telephonk to the Aero Club indicated that the contest initiated by Mr. Ralph Pulitzer’s offer of a trophy for annual competi- tion has aroused keener interest than any event in aeronautics In America for many years. Several aeroplane con- #tructors confirmed previous verbal of- fers to enter the transcontinental race. “One newspaper in the Middle West tn- quired as to how it could assure its city. being placed on the route and of- fered to raise the necessary prize money, A member of the Aero Ctut, as an inai- vidual, ¢onsulted members of the com- mittee in reference to offering-$10,000 as a second prize. “The Contest Committee discussed at length possible routes, including the Lincoln highway from New York to San Francisco. Definite decision will be deferred pending receipt of offers of prizes from the communities through which the race may be flown. “Philadelphia wi]l probably be the first control.and landing place, as that city offers a short flight, enabling aviators to tune up and adjust their machines. A group of Philadelphia sportsmen who ere learning to fly under the leadership of Robert Glendinning, a banker, has provided the aerial landing place, which is the first essential in putting a com- munity on the map of aviation. Open Space Needed. “Open space ndt less than one-quarter of a mile square, properly policed and accessible, is the first requisite, and cities that bid for control stations on the transcontinental aerial highway must be prepared to furnish such fa- cilities. _ “Uniess the up-State New York cities should outbid those of the southern route the aerial highway will probably be laid: out through Philadelphia and Pittsburg by way of either Baltimore and Washington or Harrisburg. From Pittsburg the route may follow the Lin- eoln highway through Canton, Mans- field, Lima and Fort Wayne or swing northward through Cleveland, Toledo and South Bend to Chicago. “Since one of the objects of the trans- eontinenta] race this year ts to prepare aviators and machines for possible needs along the Mexican border, the route from Chicago will run through St. Louls and thencé through Kansas City and Oklahoma towns or through Arkansas to Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin and San Antonio, striking there the headquarters of army operations. “From San Antonio to El Paso the flyers will proceed within sight of the Rio Grande and thence westward along the’Mexican border through Tucson, Yuma and possibly by way of San pete Los Angeles.

While both the army and navy have made great progress during the past year, the stimulation of such a con- test and the incentive offered by the World, will make the people take an in- terest in perfecting and operating air- craft. The stimulation will have its value not alone in the promotion of aviation as a science, but also in per- fecting this new arm of the naval and military departments of the Governmerit and the utilization of flying machines in other lines of public and private en- deavor. JOSEPHUS DANIELS, “Secretary of the Navy.” “WASHINGTON, May 15. ‘It is true that aviation is in its in- fancy in this country, although it was born here. Every project such as the ambitious one outlined in the World to- day is certain to prove beneficial in stimulating interest in the subject. I can enly express my delight that Mr. Pulit- ser has devised the aerial derby. The °f- fer which he and those associated with him in the project have made is certai” to result in great good from a civil zs well as a military standpoint. “NEWTON D. BAKER, “Secretary of War.”’ ‘WASHINGTON, May 15, 1916. ° ‘The idea is an excellent one. While rthere is ground to believe that an at- tempt to fly across the ocean in a hea’- ier-than-air machine would be folly, there is no reason why a cross-country contest should not be held. It undoubt- edly will greatly stimulate interest in aeroplane construction and in flying. The great difficulty which we have en- countered has been in the motor. There has been gradual improvement, and a motor has recently been devised which contains promise. Anything that prom- ises practical results is of value, ane the projected contest should fur- nish a demonstration of what modesn American aeroplanes can do. “GEORGE P.

WHITMAN, ‘“‘Governor of New York.” AERO CLUB HERE WANTS A “CONTROL” Robert E. Nolker, president of the Aero Club of St. Louis. today said that he wanted to see St. Louis be- fcome one of the controls in the New York-San Francisco air race. He is waiting to hear from the Aero Club of America before acting. Alan R. Hawley, . president, Henry Woodhouse, governor of the Aero Club of America, yesterday authorized the Post-Dispatch to an- nounce that as soon as St. Louis can guarantee money for prizes it will be definitely and finally designated as one of the controls in the race. Albert Bond Lambert, former pres- ident of the Aero Club of St. Louis, thought that the parade grounds at Jefferson Barracks would be about the only suitable landing place near St. Louis. He suggested that if St. Louis were to put up prize money to become one of the controls, that the aviators should be compelled to start together from each control, and upon reaching sthe next control wait until the others had caught up. In this way, Lambert’ said, St. Louis probably could see the avia- tors come into St, Louis .within a comparatively short time of each other, and could see them start.away together. He thinks the ideal race would be to let aviators start and select their own routes, the winner being the first to arrive at San Fran- cisco. Lambert is willing to organ- ize a control and arrange for a local committee to supervise the St. Louis landing. Reports Theft of Silk Dress, Mrs. Laura Hunter of 2700A Franklin avenue, in reporting the theft of a silk dress last night, told the police that a girl friend who called on her Sunday aft- érnoon admired the dress and tried it on. “It was a perfect fit, too,’’ said Mrs. Hunter, ‘and she remarked that she wished she had one like it.”’ Kranke’s Personal Estate $80,621.

KANSAS CITY, Mo:. May 16.—The plan formed at St. Louis last week to eliminate Herbert S. Hadley as a Staie leader is to be fought by his friends. The attempt is being engineered by “Liv” Mofse, L. C. Dyer, a St. Louis Representative, and others of the old guard who, it is asserted, desire to con- trol the Missouri votes. _Hadley. has made it clear he does not want the chairmanship, if- the delega- tion does not want to give it to him. His friends, however, had expected it would go to him without a contest be- cause of the position he has held in the party. ceports meeting from St. Louis are that 4 of State delegates has been called for Thursday. Hadley, who is one of the “big four,’’ has received no noti- fication of this meeting, nor have Thos. R. Marks and C. C. Madison, Fifth Dis- trict delegates. They have heard, how- ever, that expense money is _ being for- warded to some of the delegates. “Such a meeting, of a State delega- tion is unprecedented,” Hadley said to- | dav. “Ordinarily the delegation wout!d not caucus until the members reached Chicago.’”’ suaptnmesncictiggteallnins INSISTS ON FIGHTING SOA POLICEMAN OBLIGES HIM Chicagoan in Bellicose Frame Mind Winds Up in East St. Louis Hospital. of Bert Conley of Chicago, a prisoner in the East St. Louis holdover, is not as warlike as he used to be. While feeling extremely belligerent yesterday he walked up to Policeman Patrick O’Flah- erty and said: ‘I want to fight.” “Join the army,” replied O'Flaherty. “No; I want to fight right now,” said Conley, making a pass at the police- man. At St. Mary's Hospital it was found one of Conley’s eyes was closed and his lips were cut. He is held on a charge of disorderly conduct. DISPOSES OF CHIEF WITNESS AGAIN! HIM BY MARRIAGE Austin Sachs Weds Woman in Auto at Time He Struck Boy. In the trial of Austin Sachs ‘of Flint Hill, Mo., charged with feloniously leaving the scene of an accident, which is in progress in Judge Grimm’s court, Miss Ivy Gilly, formerly of 6103 Del- mar boulevard, was to have been. @ witness for the State, but it was made known yesterday afternoon, at the open- ing of the case, that she is now the wife of the defendant and therefore cannot be used as a witness against him. It was practically in front of her home that the accident happened. On Oct. 5, 1915, an automobile driven by Sachs struck Richard K. Rohan, 1l2- year-old son of James J. Rohan, 5835 De Giverville avenue, at Delmar boule- vard and Rosedale avenue. The boy's skull was fractured and for several days his recovery was in doubt. Sachs sped away from the scene. The police learned that Miss Gilly was in the ma- chine and through her they obtained Sachs’ identity. When Sachs was arrested he told the police that the boy jumped in frogt of the machine and he did not stop be- cause he was so excited. Miss Gilly told the police that she remarked to Sachs that he had hit somebody and he re- plied that he did not think the boy was hurt much, The boy teatified today that he and his brother Edward, and O’Neil Crow were running to catch an eastbound car that had stopped at Rosedale ave- nue and that he did not see the lights nor hear the horn of Sachs’ machine. Other witnesses testified that the ma- chine was going fast but none fixed the speed. They all testified that Sachs drove rapidly from the scene. Mrs. Sachs sits with her husband in court. Forty girls and five boys from Mc- Kinley High School, escorted by H. R. Tucker, teacher of civics, attended the trial today and will write papers on their observations. BOGY AND HIS SON CHARGE TEAMSTER WITH ASSAULT Assert He Threw Rock at Them When They Stopped Auto to Help Repair Another Car. Hebert Schlecht, a teaming contractor, “2 years old, was arrested at his home at Sappington, Mo., on a charge of assault to kill Bernard P. Bogy of 5943 Maple avenue and his sop, Bernard Jr., Satur- day. -He gave bond for his appearance next Tuesday before Justice Stecker at Clayton. The Bogys say they had stopp on the Gravois road opposite the Fen. Busch farm to assist T. E. Holmes, who had a puncture in an auto tire, when Schlecht drove up and cursed them for occupying too much of the road. Bogy Sr., replied that they were not occupy- ing all of the road. Schlecht said: ‘I have been laying for one of you auto- mobile iellows,”’ and climbed down and seized Bogy by the arm as he stood ‘tn the road between the tWo machines. Bogy jerked himself loose and climbed into his car. Schlecht, using profane and cbscene language, according to the Bogys, shouted, “I am going to kill you,” and hurled a large stone which smashed the windshield of Bogy’s car. The Bogys did not know the man, but he was identified by the description they gave of him and his arrest followed. He says the Bogys disturbed his peace and that Bogy Jr. threatened to shoot him and he declures he will prosecute them. .Banks to Boom Red Cross Member- ship.

DUBLIN, May 16.—A courtmartial soon will be called to try John Macneill, president of the Sinn Fein volunteers and professor in the National Univer- sity. It is announced that he will be allowed to be representec by counsel. Prof. Macneill, on the Saturday be- fore the outbreak of the revolt in Dub- hn, sent out a notice postponing indefi- nitely the parade of volunteers arranged for Easter Sunday. He disappeared on the day of the opening off the disturb- ances, but later was arrested. His ar- rest was declared to be considered one of the most important made by the British authorities in connection with the uprising. Prof. Macneill was the organizer and vice president of the Gaelic League, in addition to being president of the Sinn Fein volunteers. During the fighting tn Dublin he was reported to have been wounded. John Dillon, in his recent notable speech in the House of Commons, said but for the action of John Macneill. ‘who broke the back of the rebellion, the military would have been fighting still.’’ Daily Mail Says Ireland Is to Be Ruled by Council, LONDON, May 16.—The Daily Mail, this morning, gives what it claims is a forecast of Premier Asquith’s new Irish policy, formulated as the result of Nis visit to Ireland as follows: “First—To Irishmen is to be given a greater share in the government of their country. An Executive Council (a sort of Irish Cabinet) sitting in Dublin, is to be set up and will be responsible for the control of Irish affairs, but itself will be under the control of the British Parliament. At the moment there will be no talk of the introduction of an Irish House of Commons, Ulster senti- ment must be respected as well as that of Nationalists, if a settlement is to be secured. ‘“‘Second—Both the Ulster and Nation- alist volunteers are expected to receive cfficial recognition and be made forces of the crown.” Object to Anything Like Irish Home Rule. BELFAST, May 16.—Stubborn disin- clination to accept anything in the way of a Government which might imply the future subjection of Ulster to home rule was evident yesterday on the oc- casion of Premier Asquith’s visit to Bel- fast, which lasted only a few hours. So far as can be learned, the Premier's’ conference with a large,.body of repre- sentative Ulster men was disappointing. It is understood that the question of the general disarmament of forces in Ireland not authorized by the Govern- ment was discussed, and although those presentgwere pledged to secrecy, it is asserted that the result was unsatisfac- tory.

TOSEND Reply to England Being Drafted Despite Embarrassmen. Caused by Berlin. WASHINGTON, May 16.—Negotiations with Great Britain regarding interrup- tion of neutral commerce by the Britis" fleet are to be resumed in the-ery near future. It was announced. late yesterday that as soon as possible wort will be begun on a reply to the last British note defending the operation of the blockade orders in council. ° Secretary Lansing let it be known last week that the implied condition in the German note on submarine warfare, expressing confidence that the United States would hold Great Britain to com- pliance with ‘international law, had made ft difficult to proceed with the British negotiations.

The plan is being considered for a effect, will be a ministry of foodstuffs in which various states will also be rep- resented. Whether the Minister of Food will be a military man or a ci- vilian official has not been décided, byt in any event the army will be repre- sented in the department by some high officer who has organizing talent and executive ability. ~ However excellent organization may be in ther things in Germany, the supply and distribution of food has left much to be desired. There are many instances where the machinery failed completely. The Ministry of the In- terior has been much criticised for falil- ing to appreciate the situation. It is freely stated that Delbreuck’s retire- ment was not entirely due to physical illness, but more or ‘less to the break- down of the machinery and the lack of organization on the food question by ‘the Ministry of the Intérior. The need- lessness of standing in line from one to eight hours, which has created so much irritability, easily understandable, has long been recognized and attributed to lack of proper organitation. Regulations Diff in States. Each of the 25 states ofthe empire has its own food regulation » based upon supplies at hand, rations: often varying greatly from those of the next state or kingdom. Within the states or king- various cities and’ the communal! © au- thorities of the towns and villages con-. trolled and directed in part the supply communal basis, again differing from one another. > vodstuffs naturally gravitated to- wards centers where fancy prices were paid. This has led. to communities and districts prohibiting eggs, . butter and meats from being taken away . fram those districts, while almost every state has an embargo upon foodstuffs with- out permission to other parts of the empire. For instance, commencing tomorrow, several of the boroughs which make up greater Berlin will have meat cards, with a meat ration of 100 grams daily for five days of the week, while Berlin proper has no meat cards as yet. : It is anticipated that the hotels and restau- rants in the center of the city will be crowded by those from outlying. sec- tions who want an unlimited meat menu. All this is to be changed by .the pro posed centralization and unifcem scheme of supplying and distributing throughout Germany. The Ministry of Food will especially have far-reaching powérs to:’ proceed against: ‘“‘food usurers’’ and speculators. Farmers Can’t Kill Own :'Pixs. Farmers may not kill even oné of their own pigs, but must sell to the: central governmental purchasing agency. They may not bake bread from the grain and flour they raise themselves, but must sell to the Governmént, in re+ turn for which they will receive bread cards regulating their.consumption | of bread in the country as in cities and towns. . ———e—-—~ ITALY JOINS ALLIES AND PUTS BAN ON IMPORTED LUXURIES Cebinet Explains Tonnage Is Need for War Supplies and Necessary Foodstuffs.

Delegates and visitors to St. Louls during the Democratic national conven- tion, beginning June 14, will not be put to the necessity of renting private homes on account of exhaustion of the supply of hotel rooms, as is the case of the Republican convention in Chi- cago. * Nearly all of the state delegations have been placed in the principal ho- tels, according to James FE. Smith, chairman of the Citizens’ Reception Committee, and the few which have not yet made known their requirements will be taken care of. There will be more than 2000 delegates and alternates, and they will all have accommodations in leading hotels. Rooms Are Being Held. Five or six states which have not held their primaries yet have not made their reservations, but rooms are being held for distribution to them. The Cal- ifornia delegation was assigned yester- The Pennsylvanians will occupy 60 rooms at the New Plaza. It was found nec- essary, on account of the size of the New York delegation, to utilize parts ot four downtown hotels, but the as- signments were made according to the of that State. Requests are coming in for additional reservations. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who early engaged 12 rooms at the Planters, has asked that the number be doubled. The additional 12 rooms have been provided at the Bre- voort, adjoining the Planters. Boats for Chicagoans. Cook County Democrats have en- gaged three steamboats for sleeping quarters, but this has been done simply from choice, not because there is any lack of hotel accommodations. No assignments have yet been made to the Buckingham or the Washington, and there are a score.of other West End hotels which have _not been touched. Manager Hatfield of the Conventians Bureau is compiling information about private. hotels, rooming houses and homes in which rooms can be had. An information bureau will be established at Union Station and. visitors who have not made reservations will be informed where they can obtain rooms.

Campbell Resigns a Clerk- ship at Headquarters. | Down at police headquarters they are singing “On again, off again, gone again” about John W. Campbell, twice Chief of Police, who last night an- nounced ‘his attention of resigning a clerkship to accept a position as guard at the Merchants-Laclede National Bank. He says he does not like the night work that his present job en- tails. Campbell, who in his younger wuuys was called “Handsome Jack,” climbed from. the bottom of the force to the top twice in his political career. When pol- itics forced him from the chieftanvy the second time, he announced that he was going to be appointed Chief of Police at Manila. Instead, he went to Hct Springs, Ark., where he in a short time became head of the police force. A little more than a year ago Camp- bell returned to St. Louis and was ap- pwinted clerk, PARTY NIGHTS AT THE POOLS Men and Women May Swim To- gether Once a Week. Director of Public Welfare Tolkacz will revoke the order of Park Commis- sioner Cunliff segregating men and women in municipal swimming pools this summer, and will order the Park Commissioner to allow a “party night’’ at each pool once a week at which men and women may swim together. Commissioner Cunliff’s announcement last week was the result of complaints filed by former Councilman E. V. P. Schneiderhahn and others, that girls ap- peared in swimming gowns with too short skirts and no stockings, and that too mapy men volunteered to teach the girls to swim. Schneiderhahn represents the Federated Catholic Societies of St. Louis on a Committee on Public Morals. HOTEL MAN TAKEN TO PRISON Goes to Serve Three-Year Arson Sen- tence; Wabash Employe Also Sent. Harry Sadek, proprietor of the Hippo- drome Hotel, Sixth and Walnut streets, who on March 31 pleaded guilty to ar- s0n in connection with the fire which occurred there April 28, 1915, and was sentenced to three years in the peniten- tiary, today was taken to Jefferson City to serve his sentence. Robert E.

Suits that can be worn the + entire Summer long—priced Price be, but discussing the merits of the tax and the business conditions connected with its collection and payment. The Statement was as follows: “The question at once arises whether should the city collect the mill tax from the United Raliways Co., it will be a profitable accomplishment. “The great bulk of the securities of the United Railways Co. is held in the City of St. Louis, and in those sections of the country which are‘tributary to it, and which look to it as the metropolis of trade and of finance. ‘When this litigation first took a turn udverse to the United Railways Co., by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, reversing the decision of Judges Adams and Finkelnburg,’' the 4 per cent first mortgage bonds of the United Railways Co. were selling in the marke: at 8 cents on the dollar. There are about $35,000,000 of these bonds. Tho bonds of the St. Louis Transit Co., guar- anteed by the’ United Railways Co. and secured by a mortgage upon the railway cf the United Railways Co., were selling at about 90 cents on the dollar. There are about $10,000,000 of these bonds. The preferred shares of stock of the United Railways Co., bearing 5 per cent quar: ter-annual dividends, were selling at from 65 to 70 cents on the dollar. This stock, because it yielded a large inter- est, was a favorite investment for marv people of small means, as well.as others who had capital to invest in securities. Depreciation of Bonds. “Now the 4-per-cent bonds are selling at about 60, the Transit bonds at about & and the preferred stock at 13. The great drop in the market value of these securities came after the Supreme Court of Missouri had affirmed the judgments in the mill tax cases. Until then there was a general belief among persons who had intelligently considered the matter that the case would be reversed by that court. “That court was almost evenly divid- ed, three of the Judges saying that the tax was valid, one that it was valid be- cause, as he thought, the United States Supreme Court had said in its opinion it was, and three that it was invalid and the judgment ‘an iniquitous one under the facts.’ This is the strong language of one of the concededly strongest Judges of our Supreme Court. in whom the people have such confidence as to almost demand that he should become @ candidate for Governor. Two other equally strong Judges concurred with him. * RA AIAAIA IAAI III IARI III II III KAI AAAI IA IIIA II IAI KEKE EAI tomorrow at about,.... > In Four Specially Priced Lots—.

Points to People’s Loss. “The effect of the decision has been a depreciation of the securities and a loss to the people of St. Louis and adjacent territory from their substantial re- sources in an amount approximating from $15,000,000 to $18,000.00. This large value has been wiped out completely and the people who own these securities have sustained losses to this extent. "The city will lose its ad valorem tax upon this amount of dissipated value. Every- thing that takes value from the citizen is as disastrous in its effect as a tre- mendous conflagration which wipes out property worth an equal amount. “Some persons seem to think that even if the mill tax is unjust, the’ United Railways ought to pay it an® then ap- peal to the people to repeal the ordi- mance. The moral aspect of such a> argument is shocking. If unjust. the tax should not be exacted. It is immoral to demand that which has accrued as a ransom from further unjust exactions. “But, it may be said that if the re. Fult of the collection of this tax should titimately be the bankruptcy of the United Railways Co. and its sale and re- crganization, the citizens of St. Louis will obtain some compensation thereby in having a less.capital invested tn the Property, less capital to pay interest upon and a beiter service. “The city can never hope to get a more liberal system of transportation than that provided by the United Ra!l- ways Co. The average return which it gets from the carriage of each passen- ger, when transfers are taken into ac count, is about 3 cents. Nearly one-half cf the passengers obtain transfers. So the city may get, through such reorgan- ization, not only an escape from the payment of the mill tax. but a higher rate of charges by reason of the dis- memberment of the property into its original constituent companies, »b. striking out the advantages derived from the universal transfer system. Will Discourage Capital. “But this is not the worst feature nor the greatest calamity that may befall) the city of St. Lovis in consequence of ite apparent triumph in this litigation. The effect of the sentiment of hostility expressed towards the United Railways Co., the greatest factor in the upbuild- ing of the city, will be to discourage capital from coming here, in the appre- hension of unfair treatment. Who will have the temerity to prophesy that a like public demand for unjust taxation may not: force a second reorganization, and. so on until every dollar invested in the property will be confiscated?

APPARENTLY CAN NO LONGER EVADE MILL TAX JEFFERSON CITY, May 16.—The latest phase of the mill tax litigation, which was apparently ended yesterday by the State Supreme Court’s action in cverruling the company’s motion to cor- rect the Court’s former decree, can be outlined as follows: The Motion—Former Judge ‘Priest présents his compliments to Judge Woodson, and begs to suggest that Judge Woodson did not write what he meant to write in his de- cision against the company; and he asks that Judge Woodson kindly amend his opinion of that time, so as to say what Judge Priest thinks that Judge Woodson ought to have said, and incidentally so as ‘to permit Judge Priest to take the case to the United States Supreme Court again. The Reply—Judge Woodson presents. his compliments to former Judge Priest, and begs to inform him that he wrote what he meant, and meant what he wrote, and that he declines’ to make the literary and technical changes suggested, or to aid Judge Priest in getting the case to Washington again, for another two years’ delay. Case Apparently Ended. Lawyers say the court’s action leaves apparently no room either for another motion in the State courts, or for an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, and that the company wil] have to pay the judgment of $2,300,000, af- firmed against it by the United States Supreme Court April 10, or forfeit its bond. This view of the matter was announced by City Counselor Daues in advance of the court's decision. He said-that the only purpose of Priest’s motion was to furnish a pretext for getting the case back into the United States Supreme Court, and that if the motion was de- nied there would be no chance for him to do this. Judge Priest, in his motion, ‘charged Judge Woodson with two “‘inadver- tences” in the wording of his opinion, which he wrote as a separate opinion, concurring with Judges Walker, Lamm and Brown. He said the court “should grant Judge Woodson the right to so amend his opinion as to relieve it from any misconstruction.”’ Wanted Chance to Appeal. He adds that “Then the Supreme Court of the United States would have juris- diction to review this cause in respect ot the validity of the construction given by this court to its former opinion, as it should in right and justice be per- mitted to do.” The court’s ruling on the motion was written by Judge Woodson, who said he concurred in the majority opinion on all points of law considered, and not on a single point, as Judge Priest inferred that he did. “I am therefore,’’ he wrote, “of the opinion that the motion should be overruled.” SUIT OVER DOWNTOWN CORNER Company Said te Be in Arrears on Sixth and Pine Rental.

HURT NDU PONT Buildings Wrecked Near Gibbs- town, N. J.—Cause Is Not Known. GIBBSTOWN, N. J., May 15.—At least 14.men were ad and 30 injured to- {day in an explosion at the Reapuno plant of the Du Pont Powder Co., uear here. The blast occurred in the building in which trinitrolouol is manua- Sactured and wrecked that structure and three others. The cause of the explosion is«not known, and according to officials of the company may never be ascertained, as all those believed to have been in the Luilding where the first explosion oc- curred are dead. Trinitrololuol is not considered an ex- plostve risk, and company officials be- lieve it caught fire before exploding. This blast caused a nearby building, in which . nitro-benzol is manufa¢tured, to Liow up. So great was the force that jtwo buildings some distance away, in which huxite was manufactured, were wrecked, but the explosives did not go off. ‘ Many of eee killed and injured were outside the buildings involved and were either killed or hurt by flying debris. Two of the dead remain unidentified and two other workmen are missing and believed dead by the company officials. Trinitrololuol and nitro-benzol are used in filling shells and mines. The Repauno plant or the- Du: Ponts consists of 3000 or 4000. acres, on which there are 300 small buildings. About 2000 men are employed.

CULVER His Sister and Children of Brother to Get 8300,000 Estate on Death of Widow. Mrs. Lucetta Purinton and the chil- dren of the late William W. Culver wi!! receive the $300,000 estate of Lucius *. Culver at the death of his widow, Mrer Mary E. Culver, under a decision han:!.- ed down by Circuit Judge Shields today, construing the will 6f Lucius L. Culver. Mrs, Culver, under the decision, is de- Clared the absolute owner of $200,009 dividends declared since the death of he* tusband on stock of the Majestic Manu. facturing Co., the income from whici she was given a life estate by the will. The will directed that at the death of Mrs. Culver the estate be divided among the nearest relatives of the _ testator. Mrs. Culver asked to have “nearest relatives’’ construed. Judge- Shields rules that nearest rela- tives include only those who were liviny when the testator died in 1899. William W. Culver, his brother, and Mrs. Purina- ton, his sister, survived him. William W. Culver has since died. The share of the estate which would have gone ‘9 nim will go to his children. The children of another brother an‘ sister, Henry H. Culver and Mrs. Ruf‘: Neiberger, will not share in the estate because Henry Culver and Mrs. Nei- berger died before the testator. HIGH SHOES MUST BE LOWER OR PRICES WILL BE HIGHER Shortage of Leather and Findings to Be Discussed at National Conference. PHILADELPHIA, May 16.—The Na- tional Shoe Retailers’ Association, with headquarters in this city, has called a conference of allied industries from all parts of the country to consider the ab- normal conditions which are making for an acute shortage of leather and shoe findings generally, as well as material price advances on shoes. A. P. Cueting. secretary of the association, said today that shoes already were costing more over the counter and that prices would go still higher. “We have just been notified of an ad- ditional advance of 7 cents a foot for glazed kid in this market,’’ he said. “This means that if the fashionable cight-inch boot for women, in big de- inand for wear with short skirts, con- tinues to be worn, the prices for them must take an additional advance from “) cents to 75 cents a pair over the pre- vailing prices. Most factories are sold up to beyond September, with little op- portunity for increasing production.”’ SENATE MAY RECONSIDER THE NOMINATION OF GEORGE RUBLEE His Defeat for Federation Trade Board Regarded as a Gallinger Victory. WASHINGTON, May i16.—Recon- sideration of the vote by which the Senate late yesterday refused to confirm George Rublee of New Hampshire as a member of the Fed- eration Trade Commission, was dis- cussed as a possibility today by sup- porters of the nominee. Senator Hol- lis of New Hampshire, who led the fight for confirmation, is in a posi- tion to move for reconsideratiou since he changed his vote that he might do so.

They were forced to strike when they did or be hopelessly disorganized. Every man who signed the proclamation of liberty Knew he signed his death warrant if the revolt failed, yet they did not hesitate. Theirs was an example of the spirit with which all Ireland is imbued.’’ Judge Ryan compared the Dublin re- volt with the Boston tea party and said Americans who recall Valley Forge and the struggles of the colonists to throw off the yoke of King George must sym- pathize with the Irish and wish them luck in any attempt to regain their en- tity as a nation. In the course of his talk Judge Ryan said it was his belief that Arthur Grif- fith, originator and organizer of the Sinn Fein, had been executed with F. Sheehy Skeffington, without trial and for no apparent offense. The news re- perts, he said, related that Skeffington, a newspaper editor, was shot with ‘“‘two other journalists,’’ and the identity of these latter still is a mystery here. He believes, he said, they were Griffith and Eulmer Hobson, a retired journalist. MAN WHO SOLD GOV. DUNNE’S AUTO ARRESTED WITH HIS WIFE Machine Was Stolen From in Front of the Executive Mansion at Springfield May 4. A five-pas:enger automobile stolen May 4 *:om in front of the executive mansion in Springfield, Ill., the property of Gov.

King of 331A North Sev- enth street, Fast. St.. Louis. King was arrested: with his wife, this morning, by the East St. Louis police. The automobile company which bougnt the machine found, in making an 2x amination of its engine, that the num- ber had been tampered with in an at- tempt to obliterate one of the figures. The number was traced and it was found that the car had been sold tv Gov. Dun King said he bought the automobile from an East St. Louls woman. An at- tempt to stop payment on the check viven him by the auto company was u"- successful and he collected the amount. KING OF ANNAM IS DEPOSED Charged by French Governor-General With Complicity itn Riots. SHANGHAI, May 16.—The Governor- General at Hanol, capital of French Indo-China, has ordered King Duytan of Annam deposed on charges of com- plicity in riots which occurréd in the towns of Quang-Ngai and Quang-Nan. The riots were speedily suppressed. The King of Annam has been prac- tically a figurehead since 1907 when the French established a protectorate over the country similar to that maintained by the British in Esypt. Several upris- ings against French rule have occurred in Indo-China, within the last three years and martial law was proclaimed throughout the greater part of the ter- ritory last month.

Williamson of 5839 De Giv- a building contractor, cecaped injury at 9:30 this morning by jumping from his Dodge touring car just a few minutes before it was demolished by a westbound Wabash passenger train at the Laurel avenue crossing. The grade crossings at Laurel avenue and at Hamilton avenue, a block west, are considered two of the most canger- ous in the city, as the railroad tracks ere in a valley, and vehicles approach- ing from either direction must go down one incline before crossing the tracks and then up another. “I was driving north on Laurel ave- nue,’’ Williamson told a Post-Dispatch reporter. “The watchman at the cross- ing did not ring the bell or lower the gates until I had passed into the in- closure between the gates and the rail- road tracks. “I was on the tracks before I had warning of a train approaching. I saw - Increase Strength of Delicate ' People 200% in Ten Days Ie many instances—Persons have suffered untold agony for years ‘dectoring for nervous weakness, stomach, liver or kidney disease or some other aliment avhen_ their real trouble was lack of iron in the blood.—How tv tell. In a recent discourse Dr. E. Saver. a well-known specialist who has studied widely both in this country and Europe said: If you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly astonished at the exceedingly large number who flack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment tron ‘Is supplied all their multitude of dan- merous symptoms disappear. Without fron the blood at once loses the power to change food into livinz tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you any food: you don’t get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through vour system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart.that the mill can’t rind, As a result of this continuous flood and nerve starvation, people become menerally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequent- ly develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin: another is burdened with un- healthy fat: some are so weak they can _thardiy walk: some think they have dys- pepsia, kidney or liver trouble: some Can't @ieep at night. others are sleepy and tired all dav: some fussv and irrit- able: some skinny and bloodless. but all lack physical power and endurance. Tn such cases, it is worse than foolish- ness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your faggzing vital powers for the moment, inaybe at the expense of your life later on No. matter what anv one tells you, if ‘you are not strong and well vou owe it to vourself to make the following teat. See’ ged ee * gn po work or vou ec i com- | ing tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test vour strength again and see for yourself how much you have zained. lI have seen dozens of nervous run down people who were ailing all the time doubie and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia. liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and this. after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any bene- fit. You can talk as you please about the wonders wrought by new reme- but when you come down to hard there is nothing like good old fo put color in vyvour cheeks and cood sound, healthy flesh on vour bones. Tt is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder in the worll. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc... often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these rea- sons thev frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron al! this has been overcome. Nuxated fron for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immedi- ately beneficial. NOTE—The manufacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbounded o- nhnges Sata he its potency that they authorize the nouncement that they will forfeit $100. 00 to any Charitable Institution if they can- not take any man or woman under sixty “who lacks iron and increase their wtrength 200 per cent or over in four weeks’ time, provided they have no seri- jous organic trouble. Also they will re- fund your money in any case ih which Nuxated Iron does not at least double your strength in ten days’ time.

PARIS, May 16.—Apparently inflamed by and by that his wife wouid leave him immediately after the forthcoming marriage of her daughter, George Washington Lopp of New York, a leading member of the Committee of the American Ambulance Hospital, at- tacked his wife, Clara Lapp, widely known as “Lady Nicotine,” and his stepdaughter, Sofia Cueto Machain, and beat both women into unconsciousness. He used either the butt of a revolver or a chisel. The attack occurred early Thursday merning in the Lopp residence in Rue de la Boetie, but owing to secrecy main- teined by the police and the ambulance officials, the facts did not become pub- lic at once. Mrs. Lopp and Miss -Ma- chain were: taken to a hospital and after treatment were removed to the home of the former’s father, Geveristo Machain, a former Paraguan diplomat. Lopp was arrested a few minutes aft- er the attack, but subsequently was re- leased, pending a police inquiry. He admitted he struck the women; but de- nied using a revolver, saying a chisel was his only weapon. Apparently. the weapon used is an important point, under French law.

As a United States citizen of Irish birth, I would like to ask why the sane, thinking Irish- men of their adopted country keep so silent, while a handful of their deluded brothers are frothing to indorse movements as silly as the Dublin fiasco and trying to incite others to similar crazy action which must inevitably end in disaster. - The leaders of the recent Irish revolt, some of “whom have sacrificed their lives, deserve the commiseration of every son of the Emerald Isle— no one doubts their motives or patriotism—pbut it is almost a crime to sympathize with such a movement that had not even the semblance of digecretion in its formation. If the judgment used was a criterion of what they would do in govern- ing Ireland, then Ireland is far better without , their government. Ireland has over 70 loyal nationalist representa- tives (including the Ulster Unionists she has, of| ccurse, 103 members in all) in the British Par- lilament, duly elected and solidly supported by the good clergy, as well as 90 per cent of the people of Leinster, Munster and Connaught—men who have been achieving marvelous successes through active agitation and legislation. Landlordism has been abolished,.pensions for the aged have been secured, home rule is on the statute book and presperity anew has come with the strengthen- ing of friendly relations between Ireland and her relative-neighbor across the channel. Con- fronted by these facts, how can any native of Ireland be so ungrateful as to cease supporting Mr. Redmond and his party because a certain clique who --ere always dissenters misinterpret h's war diplomacy? Yes, it was this band of dissenters who were roused to action and given auxiliary aid by the inetigator, Germany. It was they who thought England \7as beginning to totter. They who were spurred on by promises, not of official Germany, but of German officials. Spurred on to strike a feeble blow at England, for Germany, for Ireland. Foolish men. Did théy not know England had not even mounted to the summit of strength and efficiency, whereas Germany it was who was beginning to tremble from fear of future defeat? They were deceived by promises, vague, yet al- luring; promises of doubtful possibility; prom- ises incredible and mingled with statements un- true. ; I appeal to you, friends of Irish freedom, do not allow smouldering prejudice to be fanned into the flame of imprudent and impractical plans. German cunning ts laughing at your foolishness. German diplomacy is sneering at your ignorance. Moreover, I wish to say that I as an Irishman @m not attempting to justify the stern punish- ment bitterly meted out by England to those brave but foolhardy leaders of the Irish revolt, but I feel you will agree with-me in saying it was simply a manifestation of England’s anger and indignation at the finding of German con- verts, German sympathizers, German enemies among those Irish she had begun to trust. Let us end empty vituperative oratory and re- plece it for co-operative intelligence in educat- ing the world in Ireland's just cause. IRISH-AMERICAN. A Neglected Street. Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

Yours very truly, C. M. HANAWAY, ) Manager J. Kennard & Sons Carpet Co.: EX-GOV. HADLEY’S, DIAGNOSIS. Ex-Governor Hadley‘s diagnosis of Missouri ills is not disposed of by an inquiry as to why he did not, as Governor, and does not now supply the necessary public leadership for their correc- tion. When Mr. Hadley was Governor, Democratic control of one or both branches of the Legisla- ture prevented him from having an undivided responsibility for state affairs. No other oppor- tunities for specializing in Missouri conditions are to be compared with those afforded by a term as executive and he is at least performing a pres- ent service by giving the public the benefit of his mature conclusions. As indices of our progress, he directs attention to our large area of lands that are uncultivated the low crop production per acre of lands that are cultivated, our high illiteracy statistics, the execrable roads and inadequate railroad system that prevent certain portions of the State from being knit together as closely with other portions as they should be and our poor schools. _— He goes direct to the heart of the most un- satisfactory of conditions by pointing out the impossibility of securing an efficient discharge o” State functions on revenues which are rendered inadequate by reason of our lax system of taxa- tion. He conjectures that the lack of responsiveness to appeals for betterments is due to the diverse interests of different sections of the State whose relatively greater concern in their home affairs, as compared with State affairs, makes them less susceptible to the prompting of State pride. But obviously the conjecture does not go deep enough. All the larger states have self-centered subdivisions absorbed in their own concerns. } Other states are cursed with excessive, narrow ‘ipartisanship. However, these adverse conditions in those states apparently have not proved as great a bar to progress as in this State. But the ex-Governor is right in suggesting that the time has come for a frank acknowledgment of our delinquencies and the creation of a more public-spirited sentiment by the agencies of pub- licity. Particularly is he right in pleading for a let up on flamboyant eulogies of “imperial Mis- sourt and her rippling streams and bosky dells” and for taking an account of stock that will show us exactly where we stand. Without a mention of the subject, the former Governor makes one of the most powerful ap- peals for a new Constitution that has yet to come to public knowledge. = = * Edison is a great inventor, but it will stump him to invent a way to run the Colonel into the White House again. a && — a THE PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARIES.

Would, it. be a victory for the pacificists or a defeat for a Governor who is involved in a scandal over campaign funds and who has alienated formidable elements among his late supporters? St. Louis culture will be judged more or less by the success of the Art Hill bus line. All aboard! a & — a Tae EFFICIENCY BOARD ‘‘EFFICIENOCY.’’ If Mayor Kiel is wrong in insisting that mem- bers of the Efficiency Board shall at least de- vote to their duties the time during the usual] business hours, the pyblic is unable to perceive wherein he is in error. The members of the Efficiency Board should set an example to other departments in efficiency which, by the way, is not a mere matter of literary standards and equipment. The board has represented that an additional appropriation of $4000 is absolutely essential to the performance of its duties. But the public will have difficulty in believing that it is so hard pressed when two board members on many days devote only a brief period to their public duties and are absent from the office entirely on other days. If these members were paid. on the basis of time put in, enough might properly be subtracted from their present compensation to make up a good share of the $4000. Let us have a board that will exemplify the higher efficiency in prac- tice. = = .. hie ee, eee Rassieur spoke of Bryan’s “intoxication of ora- tory.” Comes this of grape juice or of the new Bryan orange drink? -_ i i GOOD OHBER IN THE TRENCHES. An interesting and inspiring feature of war relief work is the great number of humane schemes, initiated and actually put into practice by individuals or groups of individuals to give good cheer, comfort and ald to soldiers in the trenches and hospitals. Thousands of men and women, mostly women, personally plan and carry out work of this kind, giving enthusiastically their time, energy and money to its success. Some of their kindly schemes are carried out in addition to larger hospital and relief labors. , Many of the workers in varied forms of relief are Americans. The Sundgy Post-Dispatch brief- ly told of the work of an American girl, Marie Loulse Brent, of the American fund for French wounded. She makes with her own hands and distributes personally among the soldiers go- a pair of socks, a handkerchief, a package of cigars, a tin of jam, two tins of “pate” anda tube of mustard to spice the boiled beef of the trenches. Soldiers appreciate things of this kind, which supply them with much-longed-for lux- uries and which express personal good will, even more than the great necessaries which came as a matter of course. On the front of the bags the source of the kindly gift, and cards of donors of money for the contents may be inserted in the bags, thus enlarging the circle of the sol- dier’s friends. me a tom. : fas 9 ei ce ee Jtinued without contributions | dispatch. | has power to penalize without resort to courts. the it ing to the front “comfort bags,” each containing | are tiny American flags eloquently identifying’ of money. 5t.

The absurdity of Judge Priest’s ‘‘delay” motion in the mill tax case, filed for the United Railways in the State Supreme Court, is emphasized by Judge Woodson’s curt statement that he wrote what he meant and meant what he wrote, when he concurred with the majority opinion. It was a humiliating rebuke, administered with vigor and Judge Priest asked for a modification of the record of the State Supreme Court on the plea that Judge Woodson did not mean what he said when he wrote “I concur with the majority opinion.” He pleaded that the Judge meant less than that, and thus an opening might be made for another appeal to the Federal Supreme Court. Evasive efforts to postpone the actual payment of the money seem to be the only way open for the corporation to trail its legal counsel in his o habitual stunt of harassing the city. It ts gratifying to learn from Associate City Counsel Young that the city will proceed forth- with to get an execution from the Circuit Court at the earliest possible date and to collect the debt. Steps should at once be taken to collect the remaining delinquent mill taxes now due. Since the United Railways is determined to rely wholly upon legal obstruction through all the well-known devices of ancient corporation prac- tice, let it have its bellyful of law.

Pershing is so far south of the Rio Grande that he is completely out of touch with the frontier press, and so he must be excused for talking wildly. Except on the theory of misin- formation how are we to explain his remark to a correspondent that he is able to cope witf any situation that may arise? To make matters worse, he does not complain of shortage of supplies, he is. in no terror of Gen. Carrgnza’s oncoming legions, and he has such confidence in the forces under his command that he refuses to admit that he is in any dan- ger. An army officer entertaining such repre hensible sentiments as these may be brave and accomplished, but he lacks imagination; he can’t see things; he is too confiding and he fails com- pletely to catch the spirit of the border. If the General wére an actor instead of a mere soldier he would rant and shriek and shiver and his conversation would be carried on in big type and red ink. He may do perhaps for guard duty, but he hasn’t the stuff in him for a first citizen of El Paso and he never can hope for a commission in Field Marshal Hearst’s avenging army. sp.

In the Ozarkian wilds of Missouri and Arkan- sas they ride out and round up a boy and rope him and tie him and put his first pair of shoes on him when he is 21 years of age. But we per- ceive civilization moving tardily in Illinois. AURORA, Ill. May 13.—Charles Sauders, born 78 years ago on a farm near Bald Mound, today wore his first pair of shoes and went to see his first vaudeville show. A pair of 50-cent jeans trousers, a blue overall coat with brass buttons and slouch hat completed his costume. Charlie is a bachelor, owns a farm of 700 acres and has a fortune estimated by close friends at $50,000. Most of Illinois’ successful citizens have begun barefooted, and some of her eminent statesmen have gone sockless through life, as they do in Kansas and New York State, but 78 marks a new age limit for sheer bootlessness and prompts the fear that Illinois will never grow up. == : a Se a Germany can have 25 battleships or battle cruisers under construction at ohe time. -Is there in this no hint for the American Congress? = = * the ~~ FRANCE’S COSTLY NEW WATERWAY. The five-mile tunnel through which a canal wil] be conducted under a mountain from the River _— Rhone to Marseilles is 75 feet wide and 70 feet]: high. It is the final link in a 60-mile waterway which is connected with France’s elaborate sys- tem cf artificial and natural internal waterways and will provide communication by 600-ton barges between the southern French coastline on the Mediterranean and its coast to the North. For a lesson on the desirability of developing interior water channels the Mississippi Valley does not have to go so far away from home as France. In Canada’s work on Waterways dnd he $100,000,000 expenditure to transform New York's Erie Canal into a barge canal, we have object lessons that should be heeded. The re- markable feature about the French project, how- ever, is that work for its completion was carried on for 21 months after the outbreak of the war, in spite of war's vast strain on the financial, in- dustrial and labor resources of the nation. If France found the Marseilles improvement important enough to continue its $20,000,000 ex- penditure on it during a struggle for national ex- istence and identity, may not the improvement of our own great streams be important enough to justify some sacrifice in money?

SOCRATES ON THE HUGHES BOOM. OCRATES: You were not out last night to S hear the Hughes boom discussed. Glaucon: No; though I might have guessed it would be discussed. It was a cool night. Socrates: Yes. Everyone seemed to keep cool in the debate, as well. Polemarchus: The whole Hughes boom seems to be largely a matter of temperature. Socrates. One might say so. Thrasynfachus: You never see anyone who is hot” for him. Socrates: ‘No. If you are for Hughes, you are like the man we read of in Just a Minute yesterday, who thought he must be for him because he was having chills. Glaucon: Still— Socrates: That is just what I was going to say. We must not ignore the Hughes boom. It is gain- ing in volume every day, and the chance that the Republican bosses are going to nominate him may be said to have the Roosevelt people lying awake nights. I went down last night hoping to learn what some of the other people thought of Hughes, but after I got down there I found everyone else hoping that I might say what I thought. I was, of course, glad to search my own mind for an opinion, and finally fished one out. I said that to my mind Judge Hughes offers the Republicans the rather singular opportunity of bringing men of many faiths together in support of soméone who is not offensive to any of the warring factions by reason of having no faith at-all. That is, he constitutes neutral ground upon which thoy may all stand, and if he can be kept from’ saying what he stands for, if anything, until he can be nominated, I imagine the Republican party might find in Hughes the means of making up. Polemarchus: But it would be necessary for him to stand for something in the campaign. Socrates: Not personally. The party will have a platform, and so long as he indicates in a general way his devotion to the principles of that platform, there is no necessity that he stand for anything in himself. This seems incredible to those of us who have been accustomed to men like Wilsonus and Rooseveltius, but there is nothing wrong with it.

A consciousness, © oer. MBP - ED PINAR Oe 6 at ar: TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1916. Se The Other Woman In-a an odd way a man falls in love, discovering in time it was the daughter and not the mother who was the object of his affection. Ry Frank Filson. - was faintly conscious of a woin- | an’s face bending over him, wita a look of compassion that transfigured it. Again and again, as he came weak- ly back from the fog of delirium into he would realize her presence and feel the cool ‘and on his burning forehead. When at last he opened his eyes ‘: A LL through his delirium Ralston Zi _ ths realization of his position he saw Y that the face had been largely the figment of his dreams. It was a pleas- ant, motherly face, the face of a wom- an of 35, perhaps; but it was not the face he had imagined. “Are yon feeling better?” asked a soft voice. Ralston tried to answer, but he was too weak to speak. And, lying there, be began to remember the circumstance: of the accident. He had gone West three years before to take up the homestead miles away from the city, nursing in his heart the remembrance of the girl who had jilted him and ruined his life. He had aban- doned everything, his friends, his inter- ests. Gradually the charm of the peace- ful country had clung about him, and he realized that nature had a healing balm for his wounded heart. Ho had known that Mrs. Symon, a widow of culture, had taken up the homestead adjacent after her husband's death, preferring the solitary life in the wilds to a struggle in a city; but he had not chosen to see any woman, and .n the rare occasions when he saw her, “s he rode past on his way to the post, lp only raised his hat and turned his face away. So he had lived three years, alone, . save for the occasional visit of a neigh- Lor, or the appearance of some wander- er at his cod cabin. He passed for a morose man, as, indeed, he was. No- tody intruded on his life. Each man had his own interests in that wild re- gion. He Gets Well Gradually. E had been riding to the post, 10 H miles away, when his horse stum- bled and threw,him. He had sus- tained internal injuries. but no bones were broken..° The worst thing was a revere concussion of the brain, and fer three weeks he had been semiconscious. It was cdd that in the place of the woman who, till then, had occupied his heart, he should have pictured that face that bent compassionately above him. The force of the delusion had gripped his heart; now, on awakening, he was almost glad to find that it was a dream; and yet he knew that the image per- sisted. It was extraordinary that he should have imagined what could never be in the face of Mrs. Symon. For days he lay there, gradually re- covering his strength. It amazed him that anyone should be so kind. Ralston was 30 and Mrs. Symon not too old for his expressions of gratitude to bring a warm flush to her face. Gradually the motherly’ § attitude seemed to vanish. In place of it was a very womanly sympathy, a _ certain equality that set Ralston thinking hard. After all, a man could not live alone forever. And this woman was very kind, kinder than any he had _ ever known. She would assuage his loneli- ness, and something told him that she was not indifferent to him. During the days of his convalescence he told her much about his past, and what he did not tell her she surmiaed. [t was only when he approached the sub- ject which had: begun to possess his thoughts that she nervously checked him. “Do you know how old I am, Mr. Ral- ston?’ she asked, with a laugh of em- barrassment. ‘Forty.*’ It did check him, as it was meant to do, but only because he meant to make no error this time. A wife 10 years his senior! Well, such things had been. He resolved that he would ask her. There Is a Daughter. ET, with her woman's intuition, Y she postponed the matter until Rai- ston was convalescent, till he was able to hobble about the house. Yet each knew that the other was acting 2 part, and that it was only a matter cf time until the words were spoken. “Did you know that I had a daugh- ter?” she asked him one day. “A daughter!"”” mused Ralston. He had not thought of that. Somehow, it seemed impossible—this sweet-faced, youngish woman, with a child. “She has been living in the city until I could make a home for her,’ con- tinued Mrs. Symon. ‘‘She has been here once or twice, and she is coming to live with me next week.’ She laid her hand on his arm. “I want you te wait till you have seen her,”’ she continued. Ostensibly the words meant that Rai- ston was to postpone his departure until Lilian had come; but, actually, he knew they meant that until then nothing was to be said of marriag>. Yet it was with difficulty that he could restrain himself, for his love had again given Mrs. Symon the aspects of the woman in his dream, and he felt that he could with her attain that peace of soul which he had lost. “Lillian is coming tomorrow,” Mrs. Symon said one day. “Will you take the horse to the depot and meet her?” “And you?” “Oh, I shall not have time if I am to get things in order for her,’”’ answered Mrs. Symon with a little laugh. Ralston drove to the depot, and pres- |. ently a fresh-faced young girl got down from the train and glanced about her. Ralston went up and stood staring fool- ishly at her. It was the girl of his vision. So she had been there, had seen him while he lay in his delirium! She knew him, too; she put out her hand, and mechanically he clasped it. He helped her into the carriage and they whirled away. And though not a word had been spoken Ralston felt his heart leap up with ecstacy. She washis! He blessed his stars that nothing had been said to the mother, She knew—Lillian knew.

But Col.

Remember, now, Trixy, you are to have him away from the place when I come in to supper.” It was a fine spring afternoon.

ND the mother was forgotten, and A two young people drove along ob- sorbed in one another. Their glances, at first shy, became more ar- dent. Ralston put out his hand and closed it on the girl’s warm fingers. *‘Do you understand?’ he stammered. She nodded shyly. “It was you, then, whom I saw in my dreams?” She nodded again. And suddenly he frew her to him and pressed his lips to hers. And all pretense seemed ludi- crously absurd in the face of this ele- mental and overmastering passion that had sprung up between them. In silence they drove the last stage of the journey. When at last they stopped before the cabin they descended like people in a dream. Mrs. Symon was sit- ting in front of the door; she had seen and interpreted the look upon each face. As they went in she said in a low voice: “Are you not glad that I told you to wait?’’ “Yes, I am glad,” he answered help- lessiy. Then, with a sudden pity: “And you?

PHILADELPHIA lawyer named Harvey is growing cotton success- fully on his Pennsylvania farm. The only reason why cotton is not grown on Fennsyivania and Nebrask: farms is climate. Our summer is not long enough to mature cotton. The frost gets it. Mr. Harvey has a drying process by wpich the prematurely frosted cotton is ertificially dried and made as good as naturally ripened fiber. If this is true th. nations of the temperate gone will » longer depend on the subtropics for their cotton.

Just where she fell was the overhanging edge of the bank which had been dug under, and as the pony tumbled over it loosened the overhang- ing ground. Down the child dropped into a heap and on her dropped a great mass of earth from the bank. The pony managed to scramble to its feet, but could not get out of the hole. Trixy was completely covéred by the earth. Fortunately, she was not hurt, only stunned. This was lucky. Had she been otherwise she would have been frightened to death, for the loose dirt completely covered her. Now Nixy saw at once what was tite trouble. With an easy leap he plunge’l down after the’ girl. With lightning movements he begun to scratch the dirt away. Plick, plick. plick, went his sharp paws and the dirt flew about in a steady stream. Faster and faster he worked till his breath came in gasps. In another moment Nixy had scratched away the dirt till Trixy’s face was free from the earth. How he barked in her ear and licked her face. Then he went to work again to dig more. Trixy tried to move, but found herself too weak. It was al- most dark now. She wondered if any- one would ever find her. Then out on the cool, still evening air came the boom of a gun. There was trouble at the fort. ad Colonel's daughter is lost,” was the word sent like an arrow through the fort. There was a moupting in hot haste and soon dozens of troopers were out scouring the prairie. Lanterns dotted the plains and on the night air came the thud of gal- loping hoofs and the call of the men shouting to each other. Nixy leaped to the top of the cliff. Sharp and loud he sent a loud bark. then a long howl that seemed to skim over the ground. “That is Nixy’s bark,” called the Colonel, reining in his horse and turn- ing toward the hole.

SUPERBAS WIN AGAIN, 4-2 Scratch Hit by Mowrey in Elev- enth Brings Home the Bacon for Robinson. By W. J. O’Connor. Tears were knocked out of rocks yesterday when, in the eleventh inning, Mike Mowrey’s apoplectic grounder gavotted through Jack Miller, scored two runs and whipsawed the Cardinals, 4—2, in a game they had won, 2—1, at the end of the eighth, -Mowrey’s de- cisive hit was the most puerile punch of the day but it broke up the box score. It is our contention, however, that the old ball game was lost when Man- ager Huggins substituted Miquel Gon- sales for Frank Snyder. This happened in the eighth, and at the time appeared to be sound baseball strategy. But the lesson has been taught before and should by this time be accepted as law that without Snyder the Cards are an inferlor sort of a machine. With him they have a punch. Snyder’s Absence Is Fatal. The Cards’ portion of the eighth be- gan by Corhan coaxing a pass from Che- ney, who had relieved Smith, a south- paw. Cheney was very wild. Meyers wag catching, and the understanding was that Mevers had a bum finger. He couldn’t throw. So Corhan bolted for second and was out a city square. Mevers COULD and DID throw. Then Snyder walked. Meadows bdunt- ed and Snyder beat Mowrey’s bum throw to second. It was here that Hug sub- stituted Gonzales’ speed for Snyder's slow but sure locomotion. However, the impotency of Smith and Betzel with the stick left the Cards without a run. Now for the point of the story: When the last half of the ninth began Mead- ows was somewhat wild. Leon Ames Says a great part of his intense ef- fectiveness since joining the Cards is gg op by Snyder’s wonderful catch- ing. The San Antonio Express is a great mark to shoot at. Gonzales is not so large, more ‘like a bloated thread. Anyhow, Meadows, who had not pre- viously issued a walk, started the ninth with a pass to Daubert. Nothing could be more suicidal. Meadows Passes Daubert. Stengel hit the next ball to Horns- aenemic, by and nobody offered Rogers a word of advice. It was Gonzales’ duty here to coach Hornsby to throw that ball to first. Instead, Hornsby was left entirely on his own resources and he made a plav that lost the game. He tried to force Daubert, a great base-runner, at second. His throw was late and there were two on and none out, instead of one on and one out. Nobody said a word to Hornsby when he picked up Stengel’s ground- er. Gonzales was speechless. Sny- der would have been shouting loud enough to be heard at Sixth and Olive. Therefore it was Snvyder’s ab- sence which cost the game.. Witness what followed: Ames relieved Meadows, who has a habit of faltering at the finish, and Wheat forced Stengel, Corhan to Bet- zel—a great play by Corhan. rey then grounded to Betzel. A dou- ble play looked. certain. All Betzel had to do was tag Wheat, who was running into him, and toss to Miller and the game was won. Wheat a Wise Half-Bred. But Wheat is a wise half-breed. His Indian forefathers were tricky. Instead of permitting Betzel to tag him he turned and high-tailed for first. It was a masterly retreat. Bet- zel pursued him until it was too laté to nip Mowrey. However Wheat was retired but Daubert had scored from third. knotting the count. Some argued that Betzel would have saved the day by first tossing out Mowrey and then nailing Wheat Nothing doing on that. Daubert would have scored while the third out was pending.

Foster this year has won two games, while he lost four. His last victory came against the White Sox last Satur- day, when he replaced Leonard in the seventh and the Sox won in the elev- enth. In 19156 Foster ranked eighth among the A. L. hurlers, allowing an average of 2.12 earned runs per game, pitching 2351-3 innings. This season he has been belted for 18 runs in 38 frames. an average of 4.33 tallies per battle. Quite a difference. He won 20 and lost nine in 1915.

NEW RETREATS BEFORE “OALOR™ JERABER “Pride of the Army,” Recalled From Border, Makes Sad Showing at Barracks. By Harry S. Sharpe. Referee for the Future City Athletic Club ang the Post-Dispatch’s . Boxing Authority. Jack Torrance, who claims to be the champion boxer of the United States Army and is a Corporal in the Twenty-third United States In- fantry at El Paso, Tex., failed to ap- proximate the reputation which had preceded him and received an artis- tic lacing at the hands of Charles (“Sailor”) Jerabek of St. Louis at Jefferson Baracks last night. Jerabek won every round of the R-round bout, and did it with ease. He played with the army champion, and at no time was he put to his best fighting. It may have appeared to be rather cruel amusement, but Jerabek seemed to enjoy it. Torrance disappointed his comrades, who expected eee ‘ees Of him. They were < rined ecause he showed s0 little. cbilitvy as a boxer and mortified because he showed s0 little willingness to fight. Soldiers Cheer Jerabek. To the credit of the Barracks boys ii must be said they are fair in their criticism. When they saw that Jara- bek was willing and was winning they were unstinted in their praise and applause of him. Torrance is a magnificent speci- men of physical development. but he aemonstrated very little knowledge of boxing and was pitifully weak as a hitter. The blow he depended upon most was a long, swinging right up- percut, but the only thing that Jara- bék had to be careful about it was } to see that it did not land low. When it got above the waistline its force aas spent and would hardly have knocked out a baby. Once ina while Torrance tried for a straight punch with his left, but the best he could do hwas to chop it over with hardly enough power behind to crush a cream puff. A description of by rounds weuld be ‘superfluous. In every one of them Jerabek was the aggressor, and the fact that he did not severely punish his opponent was due to the fact that Torrance most of the time was covering with his gloves and arms, or was running awayv Incidentally, his bout last night, not receive a 29-day extension of his 10-day furlough, which was contin- gent upon his winning. All the other bouts on the program were good ones.

Burke’s Great Rally. It was apparent in the very first round that Burke was faster and a better boxer, but Meek is a heavily- muscled boy and swings a tremen- dous blow. He caught Burke with ene of them in the second round, right on the jaw, and Burke went down for the count of “eight.” Fully recovering his strength in the in- termission, Burke came out and, boxed rings around Meek inthe succeeeding round. Things went merrily on until the fifth round, when Burke gave an exhibi- tion that brought the crowd to its feet with .wild applause. Seemingly havin fought himself out, and finding sone emg enned in the northeast corner of the rin Burke stood in a half crouch and covere while Meek kept swinging blows to his head until his strength was exhausted. Then Burke came out of his shell and forced Meek all over the ring, punishing him so badly ‘that Meek had but little left for the final round, and was easily out- boxed by Burke. the Due to circumstances over which there Boxing Committee had no control, was some delay in getting the started, perticuiarly the main ; ha d been agreed etween Torrance an Jerabek that they would weigh itn at pounds, ringside. weighing-in Torrance, in fighting togs, was found to be two and one-half pounds over weight. Jerabek refused to concede it. The mat, ter was finally adjusted when Torrance re- turned to the scales, stripped off his togs and tipped the beam just below the 150- pound mark, thus saving a forfeit posted for weight of $25. All this caused quite a long delay the. battle royal could not be Pe on time because it became evident late in the afternoon that the negro soldiers delegated to this event had suf- fered an attack of “cold feet." The 8. O. S. signal was at once flashed the Future City A. C., and Sam Dixon responded with his’ crew of battiers. When “time” was called, but one negro soldier made hig appearance to contest for honors, and he was placed in the center of the ring and introduced as “UU. 8S.

He was then carried from the ring and given a military escort to his dressing room. Sylvester, never boxing worse in his life, was eventually declared the winner, but he was given a close run FINAL TRYOUT FOR W. U. RUNNERS Edmunds to Pick Team for Mis- souri Valley Games After Saturday’s Dual Affair. The Washington University track and field team will ccmpete in its last meet before the Missouri Valley Conference games at Columbia when it tackles the Rolla School of Mines squad at Rolla, Mo., Saturday after- noon. Coach Edmunds stated yester~- day that he would take the entire Squad that competed against Mc- Kendree College ang the Illinois Normal to Rolla. This is about the largest track squad that ry — sented Washington on len campus in many years. The personnel of the squad that will wear the myrtle and maroon in the M. V. C. meet will probably be détermined by the resuits of the meet with the Miners. Edmunds has sent in the name'‘of every your’ of his squad for competition in th Frivie. in order to make them “el ible. mower er, it is not probable that he ll send more than eight.

Strauss, at 6 ‘hen came crowning triumph, The girl burg faced Miss Jane Rowson, stars of the New Jersey clubs, and one of the fdstest of the players in the Met- ropolitan section. Miss Guthrie simply torpedoed the base line of the opposite court, She adroitly drove Miss Rowson out ‘of position and then shot a drive across the net that found the “‘hoie’’ every time. So ably did Miss Guthrie play and so cleverly did she undermine the weaknesses of her adversaries that she was at once halled as the most formidable contender for the honors held by Miss Bijurdstedt. Another skillful player from Pittsburg. Misa Frances Brainerd, did not fare so well as her teammate. Mrs. Dean took the Measure of Miss Brainerd in straight sets, 8—6 Miss M Margaret Taylor, who reached the final round in the recent Chevy Chase tournament, scored a reversal as she de- feated Mrs. Robert C.

May %6>-The military f-neral of Private William Cohen of Troop A, Fourteenth Cavalry. who was killed May & at Glen Springs, Tex., in a raid of Mexican bandits, was held in the Hebrew Tabernacle, 218 West 130th street, Sunday morning The body of the young soldier, whe was killed when defending an adobe hut with eight companions against a force of Mexicans, vas taken to the taber- nacle- on a caisson d-ap-d with the American flag and escorted by a guard from Governor's Island, under command of Corporal Frank Kercma. There Were also old comrades from Fort Totten, where Cohen was a Ccrporal of coast artillery for six years. The funeral was under the auspices »f Manhattan Camp, Spanish War Veter- ans and the Hebrew Veterans of the War With Spain. The Twenty-sixth Battalion, United States Boy Scouts, Maj. Robert G. Greenfield commanding, also did escort duty. Rabbi Edward Lissman, in his ser- mon. pointed out that Cohen had earty proved himself patriotic, going into the army at 17. “There never was a time in history when the Jew was not ready to answer the call to duty on the battlefield,’ said the rabbi. “This lad, in the face of over vhelming odds, stood at his post and fell heroically—a man. There is something grand about those nine men who stood against 3) banditti with no thought of surrender.”’ S16 MORGAN, south room, $5 week.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 16.—The Even- ing Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “The general tendency towards re- covery, visible on the Stock Ex- change ever since the latest crisis with Berlin was averted, continued to show itself today, . but almost wholly under the auspices of profes- sional speculators. “As is usual nowadays, under such circumstances, the industrial shares held the center of the stage. In some of them the advance was violent. It was followed rather promptly, how- ever, by occasional reactions, which in turn were checked by the rapid bidding up of other highly specula- tive shares. Standard investment stocks moved little and were ex- tremely inactive. On the whole, it was not a market to take over- -seri- ously. ‘The absence of visible participation by the genuine outside public may have several causes. Perhaps the strongest is the idea, entertained with really as- tonishing unanimity in business circles, that the war may end suddenly, and that our own financial and industrial ria oa when it ends, is unusually ob- AMI things considered, this spirit of doubt. and the warnings which business men constantly address to one another, constitute in this respect a favorable omen—that they place actual barrier in the way of that reckless optimism and wild speculation which prudent men had feared last year more than any other possibility in” the situation. “As to whether we shall have peace— before next winter, at any rate—that is another question. But in the present status of the financial and industrial markets, restraint is probably the very best form of preparedness.”’ $2,400,000 Gold Comes in. , “Announcement that $2,400,000 more old had been received today at New ork from the Bank of England's re- serve at Ottawa brought the total ar- rivals of-.the past week to $6,400, In amount, this movemént is not particu- larly atriking; but the circumstances which have caused it are such as to point to the possibility, at least, of an interesting turn in the international gold movement. “In round figures, New York exported $100,000.000 to the Bank of England’s Canadian or English branches during the five months after the outbreak of the war. Then, with the opening of 1915, came the sudden movement wv sterling exchange in New York’s favor, and out of the wholly unprecedented $451,900,000 gold imported by us during that year $219,000,000 came from Canada and $109,000,000 direct from London. “But this movement also stopped, with the concerted measures of the ombard street bankers towards the end of last year, to keep the sterling exchange rate above the figure at which gold ship- ments to New York were profitable. During the three past months only tri- fling amounts of gold have come “sf New York from England or Canada; one or two months we have sent eee gold to those two markets than we have received from them. The past week’s gold imports from Canada already ex- ceed the total received from English sources in any month since January. ‘The Exchange Market. “Purely on the face of things, this resumption of gold shipments from the Bank of England reserve to New York City respon to the fall in exchange on London. Until this month sterling had been held since the year began around $4.76% to the sovereign, and that rate, with the present abnormally high charges for freight and insurance, did not admit of gold exports to New York. “The more recent decline to 4.75% has apparently Spy vee that equilibrium. Why he Londo mittee should have onal the a to fall off to this ex- tent, when the recourse of American securities on hand in London and avail- eble for sale in New York remained, is not altogether clear. As a matter of fact, nobody knows exactly how much of such protective resources are in London’s hands. All that one can be sure of is that from this time on the normal movement of American exchange is adverse to London: that adverse movement reaching its climax when our shipments of produce are at their max- fmum in the autumn. “The London bankers may have pre- ferred to send gold now, and reserve their American securities for iater and more urgent requirements, or the avail- able resources of that sort may be smaller than had been haa Slama ve DETAILED REPORT OF OF DAY'S roe STREET TRANSACTIONS , irregular e stock mar- The checked in part by advances other parte of the list, Mercantile Marine regaining some of the recent loases. ith a further advance in Crucible proving strong. offsetting features.

Coarse grains closed irregular. The Liverpool cable said: “The wheat market is under pressure and the undertone is weak. Spot was unchanged to 3d lower and demand quiet. Cargo market was weak. Mani- tobas were 6d lower and winters 2 lower. Larger Australian shipments to United Kingdom are ex ge this week and freer Manitoba offe with float- ing quantities aaeenniendt: one large visi- ble, all helped to cause the easiness. Freights from America are easier. Ihe corn market was easier, with more lib- eral Plate offers, and buyers were nerv- ous, owing to the comparative cheapness of other feedstuffs. Spot market was led to 1d lower, and the parcel market $d lower.’’ B. W. Snot wired from Great Bend, Kan.: “From Salina to Ellis, 120 miles, crossing Saline, Ellsworth, Russell and Ellis counties, with 630,000 acres, whet crop is in very bad shape. Fully 50 per cent will hardly pay to harvest. Saw plows running in 19 fields, turning crop under, and as many more already plowed up. Territory will not average over seven bushels per acre sown. Found heavy fly infestation in every field ex- amined. In Rush and Barton counties the damage ir less aparent, but is be- ginning to show with fly in a majority of samples examined. I have seen and heard enough today and Sunday to cori- vince me that Kansas has never had a chance for more than 100,000,000 bu, and it may easily be much less.”’ Russell's News, New York, wired: ‘Sales of wheat for export developed quite a volume in Manitobas, with some reported in American hard winters. The total transactions were estimated at about 700,000 bu. Sales of oats last night and today were placed at 400,000 bu, in- cluding some American.’ Broomhall cables: “It is reported by leading authorities that the Continen: will get all of Argentina and Australian orders for cargoes owing to the superiv:r prices obtainable there. Continent is taking freely when available of all ex- port offers and reserves are very mod- erate and needs urgent. United Kinx- dom—Weather is clear and warm and favorable for seeding and movement. Farmers are offering more freely, now that fleld work is nearing completion. Foreign arrivals are ample.”’ Northwest stocks: inneapolis—To- day, 183; last week, 234; last year, 152.
