The loss, therefore, if there is any, would fall upon the railroad company and the bonding cumpanies, as Wendling understands it. Van Dyne, in his statement to Drew and Livengood, told of making nu- merous loans to the Blairs, in amounts of $1000, $1500, etc, from the funds of the company, Wendling said. The Blairs, according to his statement, called at his desk at the freight house and saw him get the inoney from the safe, and knew that ‘t Was company money. In the written statement, Wendling uid, Van Dyne related that he had *snewn the Blairs a long time, believed them to be wealthy men and had con- idjence that they would repay the loans. ste uttached to the statement a letter vaiich he said he had received from one % the blatrs, inclosing a note for $76,- ‘® to cover the amount that had been taned to them.

HARRY TROLL ASKS POLICE TO FIND HIS PET MONKEY Animal Opens Door of Toy House in Which It Was Kept, and Disappears. Harry Troll, former Public Ad- ministrator, of 3635 Shaw avenue, to- day asked the police to find a pet inonkey which escaped from his home yesterday afternoon. The monkey opened the door of a toy house in which it had been kept in the yard. It had been trained to turn the knob. Mrs. Troll said that the monkey seemed gentle and tractable when her husband bought it six weeks ago, but recently she had thought of of- fering it to the Zoo because it had developed a high temper and had bit- ten one of her maids. The monkey is 18 inches high and has a tlack face with a fringe of white whiskers. It was bought as a pet for Troll’s 6-year-old son. MANACLED WOMEN TO MARCH IN PARADE OF SUFFRAGISTS Twelve Others, Dressed in White, and With Hands Free, Will Represent States Where Women Vote. CHICAGO, May 18.—The difference be- tween the 12 states where suffrage has been granted to women and the 36 others will be illustrated in a parade here, June 7, in which it is expected at least 40,000 women will march in an effort to persuade the Republican na- tional convention to put a suffrage plank in the platform. Twelve young women dressed in white and bearing the names of the states where suffrage has been granted, will lead a detachment of 36 other girls dressed in gray with their hands man- acled and their progress impeded by an imitation ball and chain, symbolizing the states where the women have not the voting privilege. ¥,.ULD SEND BRITAIN’S 500,000 UNMARRIED WOMEN TO COLONIES LONDON, May 18.—Speaking before the Royal Statistical Society, Sir J. Athelstane Baines advocated the sug- gestion that after the war the 500,000 unmarried women in England be sent to colonies. “It is a sojution,” he declared, “more palatable than one more re- cently proposed for Germany after the war by one of her numerous learned professors; namely, to let loose from the army a select certifi- cated body of eligible polygamists who would be respectively provided with equally numerous harems.” NEW YORK, May 18.—Four mice, the ancestors of which had been inoculated with tumor germs for 15 generations, took up their residence today in Crock- er Cancer Research Laboratory at Co- lumbia University. They were sent here from London. In the last German raid over Lon- don a bomb was dropped near the lab- mice were being kept, and it was decided to send them to the United States for fear that an- other bomb might destroy the work of years. FOUR MICE GET REFUGE IN U, S.| MAYOR INDORSES MEDIATION BOARD IN LABOR DISPUTES Hopes Bill Creating Municipal Body Will Be Presented to Aldermen. STRIKERS BACK AT WORK Master Builders to Pay New Scale; Wreckers Still Hold Out. Mayor Kiel, in an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter today, high- ly commended the suggestion made by Louis J. Haenni and editorially indorsed by the Post-Dispatch yester- day, that a permanent arbitration board should be created to handle building disputes. The Mayor further said that he hoped a bill might be introduced in the Board of Aldermen to creats a Municipal Board of Arbitration for labor disputes, and he made some suggestions as to the manner in which this board should be consti- tuted. A bill for the creation of such a board was introduced in the Board of Aldermen at its former session, but was not enacted, : “T have had a lot of experience with labor unions, from the stand- point of a contractor,” said Mayor Kiel. “The unions must be recognized, and must be dealt with frequently ang fairly. A permanent board of ar- bitration, to prevent loss of ¢he workers’ time and inconvenience to the public, would be a fine thing for the city. No Lockout in 18 Years. “Since 1898, the master bricklayers have had a conference committee of nine members, to work with a similar committee from the bricklayers’ unions. In that time this joint con- ference committee has settled as many as 500 cases which were reé- ferred to it, some of them disputes of a serious character. In the whote period of 18 years there has not been a lockout, or a case which the joint committee could not’ successfully handle. “Yl think that, in making up such 4 committee it is best to have each local union represented, so far as possible. If this is too unwieldy, the local unions can first confer, and then send delegates to confer with the employers. “The Conference Committee should have the power to call in an outsider as umpire, when, one. is needed, and to make the umpire’s decisions binding. Cites Free Bridge Case. “As Mayor, I have found the confer- ence board plan a good one in connec- tion with the free bridge construction work. Five disputes have been settled by conferences in which one man rep- resented the city, one the labor unions and a third man acted as umpire. The only difficulty which has not been set- tled in this way was that with the East St. Louis carpenters, who walked out without submitting their grievance, con- trary to the understanding with them, and who have not been asked to re- turn.”’ WORK RESUMED ON SOME OF BUILDINGS TIED UP BY STRIKE Wreckers and Excavators’ Asso- ciation Refuses to Agree to New Wage Scale. Work was resumed upon some build- ings today by members of the Hod Car- riers’ and Laborers’ Union, Local 22, who have been upon strike for three weeks for higher wages and recognition of the union. No work was done upon wrecking and excavating at buildings where the work is in charge of members of the Wreckers’ and Excavators’ As- sociation, an organization of contractors which, thus far. refuses to become a party to an agreement entered into last evening by officials of the Master Builders’ Association and the officials of the Central Trades Council.

RELIED ON CONSTABULARY | Leaders Were Watched and Ar- rest Was About to Be Or- dered When Outbreak Came. LONDON, 18.—From testimony developed today at the hearine opened May by the Royal Commission to inquire into the Irish rebellion, + ¢ *KHe appeared tha Government had received adyance infor- mation of preparations ior an uprising, with help from German sources. The testimony was given by Sir Mat- thew Nathan, who resigned as Under- Secretary of Ireland after the rebellion The had re- ceived advices, Sir Matthew said, that broke out. Government an attempt would be made to land arms in Ireland from German submarines; also that rifles had been purchased from Irish soldiers on home leave. while others had been taken into the country in passengers’ bageage. Until three days before the outbreak of the rebellion, however, Sir Matthew testified, there had been no proof of any connection of any anti-British party in Ireland with a foreign enemy. A memorandum which was said to be in the possession of one of the leaders with pro-German sentiments, he added, stated that the Germans contemplated a combined offensive by land, sea and air in order to secure victory before May and requested the Irish volunteers to render their promised assistance. On March 16, the witness stated, young Irish volunteers were anxious to com- mence operations, but the heads of the movement were against a rising at that moment, Thomas MacDonagh declaring that it would be sheer madness to at- tempt any such thing if the help prom- Leaders Were Being Watched. The former Under-Secretary gave this testimony in the course of a long state- ment outlining the formation of the Na- tional Volunteers, of which he declared a small section only had shown them- selves disloyal, tne leaders of this sec- tion having issued a manifesto declaring that Ireland shwuld provide for its own defense and indicating un intention to establish a free National Government in Ireland. The leaders of the movement, he said, directed their efforts to scuring more rifles and ammunition and to stor- ing as large an amount of material is possible. This was where the real dan- ger came from, he added, as it was felt that an attempt at disarmament might lead to bloodshed. The executives in Ireland being in pcessession of sufficient evidences of the association of the movement's leaders with a foreign enemy, con- tinued Sir Matthew, hac decided upon their arrest and were discussing this move on April 24 when the rebellion rroke out. He defended the failure o* the Government to disarm the vol- unteers on the ground that such ac- tion might have alienated the sym- puthies of many loyal volunteers and acded: “There are 2,000 Irish listed in the army.” Relied on Constabulary. The Royal Irish Constabulary was considered strong enough to cope with disomiers, the \ itness continued. A mobile force of 500 mounted men and 2000 others, with three machine guns, was always in readiness, and tlLese, with 2500 men from the Surragh, were thought to be capable of dealing with the outbreak in Dublin. But, con- trary to expectations, they were insuf- ficient. In the course of his testimony Sir Matthew declared that the fear that the military service act would be applied to Ireland indt td a number of the Na+« tional volunteers to join the Sinn Fein movement, so that at the beginning of the disturbances there were 16,000 hostile volunteers throughout Ireland, of whom 3000 were in Dublin. Considerable sums of money, he said, had been coming from America, the funds being used for the purchase of arms and the printing of seditious pa- pers and leaflets. It was estimated, he added, that £16,000 (about - $80.009) had been received from America and paid into Dublin banks from the middle of September, 1914, to the following April, when the money was withdrawn. Steps had. been taken, he continued, to deal with the movement before the Insurrection by volunteers preventing civil servants from belonging to the Irish volunteers and by stopping this organization from becoming a military, one by cutting off supplies of arms ad amunition. Afraid to Prevent Drilling. Baron Hardinge, president of the Roy-+ al Commission conducting the inquiry, asked Sir Matthew why no action had been taken to prevent drilling under arms. ‘We deterred because we were afraid rte enforce the act,” said Sir Matthew. “We deterred practically for political purposes. When asked what action had been taken to report this to the then Chief Secretary for Ireland, Augustine Birrell, Sir Matthew declared the Chief Secre- tary was fully aware of it. The witneres also admitted that he Catholics en- krew women were being trained to look wennded men and that shar fights “Ler ——_ Irish Sergeant Held for High Treason With Sir Roger Casement ASTROS T ise arraigned as Bailey, the army through his love of seeing Germans in the battle of St. Quentin, SERGT, DANIEL J.

He said he had met the Blairs in Texas years before. “They came to see me at my Office at the freight depot in March,’’ Van Dyne said, “and asked me to cash their check on a San,Francisco bank. I cashed them with the Missouri Pacific’s money, think- ing they were good.”’ He said that in all he cashed seven checks, for a total of $76,000. When asked if all the checks were cashed in one day, he replied that “they were cashed at different times on several days."’ “The Blairs told me that they would honor the checks when they gor to San Francisco,’’ Van Dyne said. ‘‘They re- pudiated them. “I took the money without authority and cashed their checks. So I gave ry note to the Bank of Commerce for $76,- 000 to make the money good. “Naturally I believed the checks were good. If I hadn’t do you think I would have resigned?

DUBLIN, via London, May 18.—Pre- mier Asquith is in Cork today. He is expected to hold several conferences with the Nationalist leaders in the South of Ireland, after which he will return to Dublin. The Premier has vobateed the conclu- sion, from impressions gathered during his Irish visit, that the old form of gov- ernment in Ireland has had its day. The Associated Press learns from sources in the closest touch with the Premier that his conversations and conferences have convinced him that the future govern- ment must be conducted on an entirely different system. , Gets Ideas From Many. The Prime Minister has taken care to learn the ideas and views of many per- sons other than those in purely official circles, and these persons have offered greatly varied suggestions. It is thought these might be welded together to form a proposal to lay before the Cabinet. The Premier does not know what form his proposal eventually will take, and, in fact, it probably will be fully devel- oped only at the Cabinet meeting. His Belfast visit gave a good hint to the Premier that the Ulsterites would not accept a direct proposal im- plying home rule. But it is believed they might be induced to enter into a concerted plan which possibly could bs arranged to meet their more serious objections. Premier Asquith was sworn in as a member of the Irish Privy Council here yesterday. This is the first time that an English Premier has been a Minis- ter of this body. Premier to Help Shape Policy.

FREEDOM OF SEAS Declares Germany Asks for It Only Out of Hatred for Britain. / SUPREMACY FOR’ ARMY Teutons Would Weaken Fleet to Aid Land Forces, Says English Minister. s “The Freedom of the Sea” is the subject of an interview with the Righ Hon. Arthur James’ Balfour, First Lord of the British Admiralty, which appears in today’s issue of the Saturday Evening Post. The inter- viewer’s name is not given, though he writes a long introduction in the first person. The interview, it was stated, was twice revised by Balfour before publication. Balfour says that the phrase, “Freedom of the Sea,” is naturally attractive to British and American ears, but that the meaning in which Germany uses the term must be con- sidered. It is not, he says, that the Germans love freedom, but that they hete Britain. He points out that En- gland and Holland, by their fight for the freedom of the sea in past centuries, caused North America to be settled by English-speaking, in- stead of Spanish-speaking, peoples, anc thus made the United States pos- sible. “But the freedom of the seas desired hy the modern German,” Balfour says, ‘is a very different thing from the freedom for which ‘our forefathers fuught in days of old. How, indeed, can it be otherwise? The most simple- nuinded must feel suspicious when they tind that these missionaries of mari- tyme freedom are the very persons who preach and who practice upon land the extremest doctrines of military abso- lutism., “If Germany wants what she calls the freedom of the seas, it is solely a3 & means Whereby this ideal m receive world-wide extension. The po er of Napoleon never extended beyond the coast line of Europe. Farther prog- ress was barred by the British fleets, and by them alone. Germany is deter- mined to endu~- no such limitations; and if she cannot defeat her enemies at fea, at least she will paralyze their sea power. Simplicity in Her Methods. “There is a characteristic simplicity iu the methods by which she sets about attaining this object. She poses as a reformer of international law, though international law never has bound her for an hour. She objects to ‘economic pressure’ when it is exercised by a fleet, though she sees no limit to the biutal conaeeneee with which eco- nomic pressure m:.- be imposed by an army. which war imposes upon peaceful com- merce, though hber.own methods of deal- ing with peaceful commerce would have wrung the conscience of Captain Kidd. &he denounces the maritime methods of the allies, though in her efforts to d+feat them she is deterred neither by the rules of var, the appeal of human- ity nor the rights of neutrals.’’ Balfour argues that ‘‘to paralyze naval power and leave military power uncon- trolled, is surely the worst injury which international law could inflict upon mankind.”” If the German proposal (which he does not outline) ere car- ried out in its entirety, he (says, the world would not be relieved o ‘the bur- den of armaments. The only difference would be that fleets could not be used to exercise pressure on an enemy, save in conjunction with armies. The na- tions with great standing armies would be the gainers by this rule. “Suppose, for example,”’ he says, ‘that Germany, in her desire to appropriate some Germanized portions of South America, came into conflict with the United States over the Monroe Doctrine, The United States, bound by the doc- trine of the ‘freedom of the seas * could aim no blow at her enemy until she her- self had created a large army and be- come, for the time being, a military community. Her sea power would be useless, or nearly so. Her land power would not exist. “But more than this might happen. Let, us suppose that the desired change had been effected. Let us suppose that} the maritime nations, accepting the new situation, thought themselves .relieved from all necessity of protecting their sea-borne commerce, and arranged their rrograms of naval] shipbuilding accord- ingly. For some time it probably would proceed on legal lines. Commerce, even hostile commerce, would be unhampered. But a change might happen. Some un- fereseen circumstances might make the German General Staff think it to be to the interest of its nation to cast to the winds the freedom of the seas and, in defianec of the new law, to destroy the trade of tts enemies. “Germany and Treaties.” ‘Would anybody suggest. after our experience in this war, after reading German histories and German theories of politics, that Germany would be pre- vented from taking such a step by the r.ere fact that it was a breach of iIn- ternational treaties to which she was a party? She would never hesitate; and the only result of the cession by the pacific Powers of their maritime rights would be that the military Pow- ers would seize the weapon for their own purpose and turn it against those who had abandoned it too hastily. “Thus we are forced to the sorrowful recognition of the weakness of interna- tional law as long as it is unsupported by international authority. Law un- supported by authority will hamper everybody but the criminal.” Balfour then discusses the world’ prob- She sighs “over the suffering’ ADMIRALTY LORD {AUSTRIA CALLS BALFOUR ON Tht SINKING OF THE DUBROVNIK CRIME Statement Sent to Neutrals De- clares the Vessel Was Tor- pedoed Without Warning. “INTERNATIONAL MURDER” Says Second Shot Was Fired at Life Boats — Women and Children on Board. BERLIN, May 17, by wireless to Tuck- erton, N. J.—According to an Austro- Hungarian note sent to neutral Powers regarding the sinking of the Austrian steamer Dubrovnik and other Austrian vessels, including the hospital ship Blec- tra, by hostile submarines, the Dubrov- nik had 19 passengers on board, includ- ing several women and children when she was torpedoed. Three bodies of women were recovered and four mem- bers of the crew and four passengers are missing. The Overseas News Agency today, in its summary of the Austrian note, sets forth the details regarding the sinking of the Dubrovnik as follows: “On May 9, at 10:30 p. m., the Dubrov- nik was destroyed in the Adriatic by two torpedoes fired without warning by an enemy submarine. The first torpedo hit the starboard side and the ship im- mediately began sinking. “All the persons on board rushed to the lifeboats. Then a second torpedo struck the ship, crushing the starboard | lifeboat with those in it. Up to this time three bodies of women have been recov- ered. Four sailors and four passengers are missing. “The Dubrovnik did not carry troops or ammunition. The Austro-Hungarian Government states that the firing of the second torpedo against the sinking steamer and the lifeboats which were afloat must be qualified as ‘intentional murder.’ ”’ The news agency summary, after mentioning the allusions in the note to the torpedoing of the hospital ship Electra and attacks on the steamer Daniel Erno and Zagreb, concludes: “The Austro-Hungarian Government most emphatically protests against the criminal acts mentioned.”’ Austria Tells of Series of Submarine Attacks on Peaceable Ships. VIENNA, via Berlin to London, May 17.—The Foreign Ministry has delivered the following note to the representatives of all the allied and neutral states at the Austrian court: ‘The Foreign | Ministry was able on March 22 to lodge with the representa- tives of the allied and neutral Powers accredited to the Vienna court an ener- getic protest against the torpedoing of the hospital ship Electra by an enemy submarine. is, however, was in no wise the first/case where an enemy sub- marine attacked peaceable ships in Aus- trian waters. “As early as Feb. 12 a submarine fired a torpedo, near Punta Planka, without advance warning ,at the steamer Dan- iel-Erno of the Hungar-Croatic line, which escaped destruction only by a clever maneuver. The steamer’s cap- tain, according to his sworn statement, which is confined by numerous. wit- nesses, saw plainly the submarine’s periscope and the torpedo’s wake. “On Feb. 28 a submarine, whose peri- scope was not even seen, fired also in the vicinity of Punta Planka, a torpedo at the steamer Zagreb of the same com- pany. The ship was able only by a quick turn to dodge the torpedo, whose wake was seen by numerous persons aboard. “On April 6 a terpedo was fired by a submarine again at the Daniel-Erno, this time also without warning. It exploded on the nearby rocky coast. “The Austro-Hungarian Government has not hitherto published these events, which fortunately were attended with no damage. notice of the attempts of Feb. 12 and Feb. 28 pn local steamships to the Unit- ed - Stat which has repeatedly made questions arising out of the submarine warfare the subject of representations to the central «sc owers. “In view of this accumulation of at- tacks by enemy submarines on harmless vessels, which are especially protected by The Hague Convention, and in view of the circumstances that the enemy states are not—like the central Powers —forced to defend themselves against a notorious plan to starve out whole nations, the destruction of a peaceable ship, which cannot serve in the war with our opponents in any manner, can only be ascribed to blind lust for de- struction. This interpretation now is fully confirmed by the most recent barbaric attempt on the Austrian steamer Dubrovnik. This ship, belong- ing to Navigazione A Vapore Ragusea, was destroyed May 9 in the Narenta Canal between San Glorgone, Island of Lesina, and Cape Gomena, on the pe- ninsula of Sabloncello " (Adriatic Sea).

EDMUNDS. Lecturer on International Law, Louis University Law School, T*= British Government has pro- st. mulgated a new drastic order-in- council, appearing in the London Times under date of April 13, which openly abolishes all legal distinction be- tween absolute and conditional contra- band, publishing at the same time an exhaustive list of articles of both kinds under a single designation. To understand the serious import “f this action it must be kept in mind that the long established distinction as to the two kinds of contraband and their treatment is this: Absolute contraband consists of arti- cles of merchandise useful only for war- like purposes, such as arms and ammu- nition, and these are capturable if des- tined to the enemy’s territory; whereas conditional contraband consists of arti- cles of merchandise useful alike for pur- poses of peace and war, such as food- stuffs, and these are capturable only if destined to the enemy wovernment, Its armed forces or fleet or a port of naval equipment. The fac, that the condition- al contraband is destined merely to enemy territory is not enough to author- ize capture in the absence of proof of intended governmental use; and such goods are legally entitled to unmolested shipment. The preamble of the new British order says: “The circumstances of the present war are so peculiar that His Majesty's Gov- lernment consider that for practical pur- poses the distinction between the two classes of contraband has ceased to have any value. So large a proportion of the inhabitants of the enemy coun- try are taking part, Wirectly and indi- rectly, in the war tha no real distinc- tion can now be drawh between armed forces and the civilian population. Sim- ilarly the enemy Government has taken control by a series of decrees and orders of practically all the articles in the list of, conditional contraband, so that they are now available for Government use. So long as these éxceptional conditions continue our belligerent rights with <e- spect to the two kinds of contraband are the same and our treatment of them must be identical.”’ Food Absolute Contraband. Earlier in the war when Germany had issued her first food-conservation regulations, Great Britain assumed in some cases to treat foodstuffs as absolute contraband even when des- tined to the German civilian popula- tion, on the ground that governmental use was thereby intended. The United States has never acquiesced in this view, holding rather that the govern- mental regulation constitutes a mere agency through which food supplies rnay reach the civilian population, and in its note of December 2, 1914, pro- tested against the treatment of such articles as absolute contraband. We have only to turn to like action on the part of Russia during the Russo-Japanese war to discover Great Pritain firmly dissenting from the propo- sition that conditional contraband is capturable in the absence of intended governmental use by the enemy. Russia in issuing her extensive con- traband list Feb. 28, 1904, ignored the distinction between absolute and con- ditional contraband, declaring that such articles woulil be capturable’“ if they are transported on account of or are destined for the enemy.”’ Great Britain, the United States and others immediately interrogated the Russian Government as to the vague- ness of her decree, declaring that many articles on her list, being conditional contraband, could not be captured if mererly destined to the enemy terri- tory. Hay Made a Protest. Secretary Hay on June 10, 1904, iesued a circular to all the Ambassadore of It limited itself to giving | the United States in Europe to be pre- sented to foreign courts, condemning this apparent abolishment by Russia of a valuable distinction long prac- liced and recognized for the berefit of neutral commerce, Russia soon had occasion to put her views into practice by the capture of the British steamer Knight Command- er with a general cargo from New York ‘consigned to Oriental ports, ncluding Yo- |\kohama. The Viadivostok prize court condemned the vessel, but an appeal was taken to the Russian higher Ad- miralty Court. The British Government addressed a strongly-worded protest to Russia in which Lord Lansdowne point- ed out the distinction between condi- tional and absolute contraband, and ‘“‘with regard to fodstuffs consigned to a belligerent’s port” he maintained that “proof is necessary that the goods are intended for the belligerent’s naval or military forces before they can be con- sidered as contraband.’’ The United States put forward the same contention with reference to an American cargo wf flour on board the captured German merchantman Arabia. With reference to the condemnation in the latter case, Secretary Hay said: “In view of this well-known attitude it should hardly seem necessary to say that the Government of the United States is unable to admit the validity of the judgment which appears to have been rendered in disregard of the set- tled law of nations in respect to what constitutes contraband of war. “If the principle which appears to have been declared by the Viadivostok prize court, and which hag not so far been disavowed or explained by His Imperial Majesty’s Government, is ac- quiesced in, it means, if carried into full execution, the complete destruction of all neutral commerce with the non- combatant population of Japan; it ob- viates the necessity of biockades; it renders meaningless the principle of the declaration of Paris set forth in the imperial order of Feb. 29 last. that the blockade .in order to be obligatory must be effective; it obliterates all distinc- tion between commerce in contraband and non-contraband goods, and is in .f- fect a declaration of war against corm- German Centrafization the Reason rpeople of a neutral] anl those of a bel- ligerent state. “You will express to Count Lams- Gorff the deep regret and grave con- cern with which the Government of the United States has received his unquali- fied communication of the decision of the prize court; you will make earnest protest against it and say that the Gov- ernment of the United States regrets its complete inability to recognize the prin- ciple of that decision and still less to acquiesce in it as a policy.” Russia Changed Orders, Finally, in response to vigorous action of neutral states, the Russian Govern- ment appointed a commission under the piesidency of Prof. Martens to study the question of contraband, resulting in new orders to Russian naval command- ers, recognizing articles of conditional contraband as not capturable unless the captor could prove intended use by the enemy Government. This was a satis- factory return to lawful methods. The higher Russian Admiralty Court accordingly applied the new rulings in the appealed cases before it, doing sub- stantial justice, at least with respect to illegal captures of British gooda, though not with respect to American cargoes. The argument of the United States against the Russian action might be applied in its entirety against the new order-in-council of the British Govern- ment, which is manifestly unwarranted and in contradiction to its uninterrupted attitude in the past toward the preser- vation of the two classes of contra- band. The Brittsh order is significant, com- ing as it does, at a time when the United States proposes vigorously to challenge the alleged British blockade, in that, if the new order is allowed to stand, it will, as Secretary Hay pointed out to the Russian Government, obviate the necessity of a blockade. Given an abso- lute contraband list containing all articles of commerce which may be cap- tured when bound for enemy territory, a belligerent is clothed with all the ef- fective powers of a blockade. A block- ade in such circumstances becomes superfluous, It is conceivable, therefore, that pres- ent British policy may have an eye to- ward a formal conciliation of the United States in yielding its irregular block- ade if it is left with the asserted right to treat all articles going to German ter- ritory as absolute contraband. Of the two procedures, however, the blockade is less intolerable and does less violence to the Icws of naval warfare instituted for the protection of neutrals. In detentions made under the British blockade neutrals have a fair prospect of compensation; in the application of the new: contraband order the uniform result will be confiscation.

MARATHON, Tex., May 13.—Jesse Deemer. the Boquillas stofekeeper, ani Monroe Payne, negro, kidnaped by the Big Bend bandit raiders and ‘rescued by Maj. George T. Langhorne’s cavalry detachment, have reached Boquilias, ace cording to official reports received here today. No official confirmation has yet reached here of the reported engage- ment between the American troops and the bandits in which six Mexicans were said to have been killed and 75 captured. lt is thought the story of the encounter may have had its origin in a fight that occurred when Maj. Langhorne released Deemer and Payne. According to the official report, the rescue of the Americans took place at night. Major Langhorne, with a de- tachment of the Eighth Cavalry, drove t automobiles and trucks to a ranch- kouse where a part of the Gienn Springs ra‘ders were quartered. The bandits were surprised, but, al- though surrounded, they put up a etiff fixht. Two were wounded and two cuptured. The remainder escaped in the dark. -The Americans had no losses. Scarcity of gasoline for his supply trucks is said to have prevented Major -Isnghorne from immediately pursuing the bandits. Two \regiments of Texas militia under direction of Brigadier-General John A. Hulen of the State troops, will be the first force of Irregulars to go to border stations.

Kennah, the contractor_in oharge of dismantling the building, told a Post- Dispatch reporter that he would en- deavor to secure nonunion workmen by tomorrow morning. He said the other boss wreckers and excevators in the city intended to take a similar stand. They have issued an ultimatum that the maximum they will pay for excavators is 2 cents an hour and 20 cents for wreckers. They are willing to pay 30 cents an hour for building laborers, the price agreed upon last night at the conference between the union officials and the Master Builders. The conference provided for no recog- nition of the laborers organization, but agreed to 27% cents an hour for excava- tors and 24% cents an hour for wreck- ers. : Work of excavation was resumed at the new Post-Dispatch building, all dif- ferences between the contractors and the union officials having been settled by the conference last night.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, May 18.—An examination of the new Frisco re- organization plan, which came by rail to the Public Service Commis- mission today reveals that it is so much like the last amended plan rejected by the commission that it is difficult to distinguish the differ- ences. The voting trust, which the Pub- lic Service Commission said was un- ccnstitutional, is retained in the new plan’with increased powers and the same men are named as voting trus- tees. They. are Frederick W. Allen, James W. Lusk, Charles H. Sabin, Jomes Speyer, Frederick Strauss, Fugene V. R. Thayer and Festus J. Wade. More Power to Bankers. Where the new plan submitted differs from the last amended plan, rejected by the commission, it seems to incline toward increasing the dis- cretionary power of Speyer & Co. and Seligman &, Co., the New York bank- ing houses who are handling the re- organization plan and have appointed themselves reorganization managers. A significant paragraph has been added to the voting trust clause which gives the reorganization mana- gers power to hypothecate the entire capital stock of the new company as additional security for the prior lien bonds which are held by them. Although the commission rejected the original plan largely because it found that the voting trust provision would take control of the property from the stockholders and give it to the bond- holders, the new section of the voting trust provision seems to accomplish that purpose more completely than ever. May Pledge Entire Issue. It is provided that the entire issue of common and preferred stock may be pledged as additional security for the prior lien bonds ‘‘in the unrestricted dis- cretion of the reorganization mana- gers.”’ It provides that the voting power of stock so pledged shall be exercised by the corporate trustee at the direction o” the voting trust. The fact that the new plan has been vritten and delayed in submission for several weeks is revealed by frequent reference to April 3, 1916, as the last date on which general lien bonds might bs deposited for participation in the pian. It is provided, however, that the re- organization managers may extend the date in their discretion. The plan also provides that the “reorganization man- agers shall be the sole and final judges as to whether and when” sufficient se- curities have been subscribed to make the plan operative. $264,408,2318 Investment. Under the new plan, the capital in- vestment (exclusive of K. C., Ft. 8, & Memphis bonds, which remain undis- turbed) is $264,408,318. The capital fnvestment of the old com- pany, excluding the same item, was $302,076,386. The fixed interest charges of the old company were $14,886,324, the fixed and contingent interest charges of the new company are $13,702,578. A tabulated statement of operating revenue and expense shows that the average annual operating revenue for the past four years was $44,012,198. The average expense, including taxes, was $32,.682,792.45. The difference, in addition to other small sources of revenue, left a total average net income of $12,142,- 925.88.

An official of the local Postoffice De- partment, in discussing the dismissal from the service of Frank 8S. Krebs, Assistant Superintendent of Mails, of 8449 Wyoming street, after service of % years, declared that Krebs’ statement about the cause of his discharge are not in conformance with the record of facts in the department. Krebs claimed in an interview that he was designated as a foreman in the department and that he was deprived of the title of assistant suuperintendent of mails by Postmaster Selph. On the contrary, the official not permitted to discuss matters of dis- cipline for publication, stated the rec- ords show Krebs was not reduced from the position of assistant superintendent of mails to that of foreman, as claimed, but was a foreman at $1600 a year when Postmaster Selph took office. On Juné 26, 1914, records show, he was promoted to the position of assistant superintend- ent of mails at a salary of $1700 on the Postmaster’s reconimendation. He held this position until he ended his service, it is claimed, with the exception of a few months, when he was temporarily designated as traffic superintendent in charge of Government-owned automo- biles at the same salary. tinuing after what seems to have been Krebs was dismissed from service, ac- cording to the official, for insubordina- tion and incompetency to fill the posi- tion of traffic snverintendent. He said he failed to make schedules with the atu- tomobiles; refused to obey orders of the superintendent of mails, and went so far as to enter into a contract with the Un- ion Electric Light and Power Co. to furnish light and power to a garage. This contract, it is asserted, under de- partmental rules, could not be entered into by the Postmaster himself. Charges were finally preferred against Krebs, which were duly investigated by two Postoffice inspectors, who recom. mended his dismissal for conduct preju- dicial to good order and discipline. The dismissal was ordered from Washington by First Assistant Postmaster Royé®r, who wrote that Prebs ““‘lacked the ad- ministrative ability to cope with his work.” FRANCE NEEDS $1,602,000,000 FOR THIRD QUARTER OF YEAR Finance Minister Proposes Increases in Taxes to Net $1580,000,- 000 Annually. PARIS, May 18.—Finance Minister Ribot presented, to ther Chamber of Deputies in its reassembling today a measure covering the credits for the third quarter of the year. The credits aggregate 8,010,000,000 francs ($1,- 602,000,000). He made a statement showing a satisfactory condition of the Treasury and of the Bank of Irance. Ribot called attention also to the necessity of providing now, before the end of the war, for interest charges on new loans, and he proposed to that end, increases in direct and indirect taxes that will increase the revenue 906,000,000 francs ($180,000,000) an- nually on alcohol, wine, beer, cider, sugar and tobacco.

AFTER 15 YEARS GERMAN FINDS NATURALIZATION PAPERS FRAUD Court Orders Cancellation of Docu- ments That Man Says a Poll- ticilan Arranged for Him. An order canceling the naturalization prupers of Henry Fabian, 45 years. old, ci 1415 Bissel ctreet, a German, was ruade this morning in the wnited States District Court by Judge Dyer. Fabian discovered a year ago that his natural- ization papers were worthless, and yes- terday made affidavit asking for their cancellation. His affidavit recites that on Sept. 1900, he applied at the Four Courts, unable to speak, read or write English. He met a politician, who arranged the details and gave him some papers that granted him citizenship. He was not re@uired to sign any declaration of in- tentions or other papers, Fabian said. A year ago the German Consul, A. F. W Breitling, made inquiry as to the citizenship of Fabian’s son, and in ex- amining his papers Fabian discovered the fraud. Fabian will file his applica- tion for naturalization papers in the usual manner, 9A Chicago Preparedness Parade June 3.

CITIES SENDING IN BIDS Besides Pulitzer Trophy and $20,000 Committee Believes Each Central Should Offer $10,000. Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 18.—Cities along the possible routes of the transcontinental air race are entering into a spirited bid- ding for the advantages of being placed on the aeronautical map of America. Officials of the Aero Club of America pointed out yesterday that the results of expenditures in prizes for the national competition will be directly in the line of military preparedness. The prize money which a community contributes to bring the race to its door will help to establish aeroplane manufacture and aviation on a sounder financial basis. Each city bidding for the race has been advised that $10,000 should be of- fered in prizes of $5000, $2600, $1500 and $1000 for the best time made in reaching that city from the preceding control station. For Mechanical Stability. Speed and mechanical stability rather than physical endurance will be the ob- jective of the competition as the Coa- test Committee of the Aero Chib has cutlined its ideas to Ralph Pulitzer, do- nor of the trophy and creator of the plan for the annual aerial derby. Fly- ers will be compelled to remain 12 hours at each control station. The contest in this way will resolve itself into as many separate races as there are controls. Hach flyer will have a chance of win- ning minor prizes for any leg of the journey even though some setbacks bar him from winning the Pulitger trophy and the $20,000 first prize for the short- est actual flying time from coast to coast. Fort Wayne, Ind., has entered the competition for the stop between Pitts- burg and Chicago, which doubtless will be two of the principal controls. If tho Indiana cities can offer as great or greater inducements than Cleveland or —— Browning, King & Co.

Hawley of the Aero Club. received the following telegrams yesterday: “The Commercial Club of Fort Wayne, Ind., respectfully urges our city as the stopping station on transcontinenta! race across country, advantageously io. cated and offering a splendid opportun- ity to locate for you an exceedingly im- portant stopping point on the route. We trust you will give every consideration tc our city. “VAN B. PERRINE, “President Commercial Club.” “Fort Wayne is Indiana’s second city and should be important stop on trans- continental race. Situated on Lincoln highway on shortest route from New York to Pacific Coast, it offers a pecu- liarly important objective point. You will firrkd it expec‘'.nt to make Fort Wayne a stopping point. “FRANK E. BOHEN, “President, Rotary Club.” More Letters Commending Derby. The World prints today a second in- stallment of the messages received from aeroplane constructors and flyers com- mending the aerial derby and pledging their co-operation. “To the Editor of the World: “As the first entrant in a flight across the continent in 1911 and the first pilot to start in September of that year, I feel that the projected flight should do a great deal toward awakening the pub- lic to a realization of their helplessness agafnst any well planned air invasion. “Also I wish to tender my services, if needed, to map out a course, with which I am familiar, as I am the only living pilot of an aeroplane who has com- pleted this hazardous journey. I might also add in passing that the trip was accomplished with a motor of only 3% horsepower, whereas at present the power for single motor planes now av- erage aéae to 135 horsepower. “Do you not think it would be well to make it a Condition for the cities which are appointed official control that the landing fleld should be used after the flight as a public alighting and starting field for other tourists-of-the-air? This should do much to provide the faclflities which at present are greatly lacking and which prove a serious hindrance to progress in flying. “If the conditions imposed in the rules governing this flight are not too severe, I will be pleased to enter and feel that there should be at least 25 bona fide en- tries made, if the prizes mount to large figures—as a trip of this kind is ex- ceedingly expensive. “Let us hope that our development of aeronautics will not have to be brought about by necessity of war, but will result from peaceful demonstrations such” as outlined by Mr. Pulitzer and the Aero Club of America. “ROBERT G. FOWLER. “(Coast to coast twice.) “Long Island City, May 165." Hopes to Compete. "To the Editor of the World: “We heartily indorse the transconti- nental competition made possible by Mr. Pulitzer through the auspices of the Aero Club. It is only through the public spirit of such enterprises that American aviation will regain the lead it once had and demonstrate its possibilities in peace as well as in preparations against war. opportunity to compete. “THE BURGESS COMPANY. ‘Marblehead, Mass., May 165.’’ “To the Editor of the World: “The transcontinental aero competition for the Pulitzer trophy should prove a distinct aid in awakening the people of this country to the necessity of pre- paredness. can we expect to bring Congress to a realization of the tremendous impor- tance of aeroplanes to our army and navy.

In 1914 the French Government increased this to 1200 aero- planes and 28 dirigibles. “In 1912 a public subscription in Ger- many of 7,000,000 marks ($1,750,000) gave Germany a formidable fleet of aero- planes. The Reichstag then voted +> provide for the next five years $35,900,000 for military aeronautics. “May we not hope that this trans- continental flight will be our awaken- ing, accomplishing what we so earnest: ly desire for our advancement in avia- tion and the air preparedness we abso- lutely need? “Our co-operation and support can be counted on.

PADGETT, “Chairman House Committee on Naval Affairs. “Washington, May 17.” Such a Stimulus Needed. “To the Editor of the World: “The proposed classic of aviation is & great idea and should preduce valu- able results along practical lines. The generous prizes offered naturally will attract both manufacturers and flyers. The result should be a friendly rivalry to produce the motor with the best staying qualities and greatest power, as well as a man to operate it successfully. Such a stimulus is needed. The stimu- lus of a ready market has opened to de- velopment the automobile to a high de- gree of efficiency. But there is not a ready general market for aeroplanes, and some other stimulation is required to catch and hold popular interest.

The dismissal by the new School Board of H. C, Etherton, principal of the Rite- nour School of Overland Park, St. Louis County, has resulted in a decision by 14 of the 15 teachers of the school not to apply for reappointment. One of the first acts of the new School Board, upon its election in April, was to notify Hth- erton that he would not be reappointed. Most of the teachers in the school were selected upon his recommendation. Joshua Richmond of Clayton has been elected principa! ef the school for the term beginning next September. The new School Board also has re- fused to pay the interest on the $23,000 bond issue, which the board asserts was illegally passed in May, 1915. Charges were made that the ballot boxes were stuffed to show a majority for the bond issue, and the Voters’ League of the district produced in court at Clayton 97 voters of the district who were ready to testify that they had voted against the bonds, when the judges and clerks of the election certified that only 68 votes had been cast against the issue. | The teachers who will not be appli- cants for reappointment are Misses Elizabeth Nixon, Katie Carroll, Margaret Snider, Alma Sniith, Frances Morris, Anna Boisseau, Hortense Reith, L. M. Pinder, Susan Cox, Clara Lide, Mary White, Vera I. Flynn, Mrs. J. A. Prich- ard and S. S. Hall. Clarence Campbell, who was carried on the payroll of the school district at 350 a month as truant officer, also will not be re-employed by the new board. 9 | | e) | | ce 25 Roses in Our $1.00 Box Friday and Saturday.

SENATE PASSES MEASURE Provisions Attacked by Some; Policy in Mexico and*England’s Executions Criticised. WASHINGTON, May 18.—Only ap- proval by the House of the conference report on the army reorganization bill Is necessary to complete the legislation. The Senate completed its part in the legislative process last night when it adopted, without a record votes, the con- ference report on the measure. ~ Final action by the House is looked for within a day or so, when the bill, the first of the administration’s big pre- paredness measures, will be laid before President Wilson. With his approval of the bill, which he has assured, steps immediately will be taken by Secretary Baker, in ¢onsultation with the army general staff, to put the measure into effect. Provides for 211,000 Regulars. The bill provides for a regular army of 211,000 officers and men at peace strength, and approximately 260,000 at war strength, and for a _ federalized national guard of 457,000 officers and men at maximum strength. Discussion of the conference report in the Senate yesterday embraced a de- nunciation of Great Britain for execution of the Irish revolutionists, attacks upon the administration’s Mexican policy, re- newed assaults upon the national guard as a political force, and vigorous crit- icism of the provision for a Government nitrate manufacturing plant. Senator Fall asserted that Brigadier- General Pershing, with the 14,000 troops at his command, could march on to Mexico City, taking every town with lit- le trouble, if he were unhampered by Washington, and that 90 per cent of the Mexican people would welcome such ac- tion. He also declared that representa- tives of Gen. Carranza were negotiating with foreign Governments against the United States and that this Govern- ment would be forced to fight foreign forces on Mexican soil if it did not soon do its full duty to the people of Mexico and the United States. Borah Attacks National Guard. Senator Borah of Idaho, renewing his attack on the national guard as a polit- ical force, declared that it would prove to be more detrimental to the United States than an invading army. He ar- raigned Great Britain for the Irish ex- ecutions, declaring there had been no greater blow to free institutions since the European war began. Senator Lodge and. Chairman Stone of the Foreign Relations Committee also criticised the army bill, the former blaming the House for not accepting a larger regular army, proposed by the Senate, and the latter maintaining that the proposed army was too great. Sen- ator Stone said he was so anxious to see the nitrate provision enacted that he would almost be willing to agree to any sized army necessary, but insisted there was no need of an increased army. “T see no need now, nor at any time in our history, for a large army,’’ he said. ‘“‘The enlargement provided would entail a very grave and useless bur- den.. The only use for an army is to attack an enemy or defend our own soil. There isn’t a Senator nor a mem- ber of the House nor a man in any of the executive departments o7 the Gov- ernment who will say we are in danger of assault on land by an invading army of any country on earth.”’ Brandegee Wanted More Soldiers. Senator Brandegee, author of the amendment for a regular standing army of 250,000 men at peace strength, which was rejected by the conference, de- clared that the English language was inadequate to express his disgust at the conference action. Secretary Baker today began study- ing the conference report, taking a copy with him on a trip to New York.

The sporting editor of the Ohio Penitentiary News, which is published by convicts within the prison, wrote the story of the game for his paper, play by play. : Several prison officials attended the game, but none of them were armed, all of the convicts being on their honor not to attempt to escape.

HARD © Soap Is Such a Luxury That Jokes About It Are Common. oe MILK GET By FRANZ HUGO KREBS. Mr. Krebs has recently returned to New York after his second ex- tended visit to Germany. NEW YORK, May 18.—I arrived in Berlin on my last trip on Jan. 21, 1916, and left there on April 27. For the first few days I thought the bread was better than a year before, but afterward I was obliged to stop eating it, as I found I suffered. from colic and was able to trace it to the bread. For the last two months of my stay in Berlin I was forced to eat zwieback, which was not colic producing, but was not as hunger satisfying as bread. The quality of the milk is very unsat- isfactory and good milk is practically unobtainable. This is due to the lack of fodder for the cows. At the best ho- tels one gets two very thin slices of butter at breakfast, and none later in the day. Condensed milk is hard to get. Soap Allowance Small. Soap is now purchased on one’s bread card, and the amount allowed - each week for one person will not encourage frequent bathing. In fact, when I left, | fckes were in general circulation regard- ing the advisability of high collars for men and the abandonment of decollette by women. Sugar is not abundant; purchases are limited to a sm@ll amount per person. The quantity of“butter allowed each person; one-quarter of a pound a week, does not permit its use in cooking, and as there is great scarcity of oleomar- garine, lard and fats generally, the peo- ple have to eat boiled meats and veg- etables. There is an apparent scarcity of cof- fee, and in many of the hotels and res- taurants one sees signs asking that pa- trons take tea instead. At Wertheim’s, Berlin’s huge depart- ment store, cooked roast beef could be had at 4 marks a pound a few weeks before I left. A week or so after that the price was advanced to 6 marks a pound, and a few days before I left it was 8 marks a pound. Still, it was pos- sible to get palatable and satisfying meals at the hotels and restaurants in Berlin at lower prices than:one would pay in New York restaurants of a cor- responding grade. Women Socialists Paraded. In the two or three months preceding my arrival in Berlin I had read many accounts of food riots in Germany and of at least one great woman’s war riot in Berlin. On inquiry I found that at the opening of the Reichstag’ several hundred women Socialists had paraded through one of the streets and shouted that they wanted the war to end and their men folks to come home. One or two policemen finally told them to dis- perse, and they did so, no one the worse for the affair. The one real disturbance that took place was in a fashionable part of Ber- lin. It was on the first day that shops were opened for the sale of butter on a limited scale. Many ladies were in the line waiting. The Government had fixed the price at $1 a pound. Afterward it was reduced to 50 cents a pound. The waiting was tedious. Then it began to rain. The women were angry, tired and getting wet. It was too much. No one quite knew how it happened, but the window of the shop was broken, the door was forced, the women surged in and when the. police arrived the shop looked as though it had been struck by a cyclone. Since then the lines in front of. the butter shops are always watched by at least one policeman. Lack of Co-Ordination. We are so accustomed to speaking of the German Empire as though it were merely a political entity that we over- look the fact that it is a union of states. There has been more or less evidence of a lack of co-ordination regarding food supplies, and scarcity of certain kinds of food has existed in Prussia while there was an abundance of those very things in other states of the em- pire. Also there has been more or less, hoarding of food supplies, partly foy speculative gain and partly through uf- due apprehension for the future. As/the ‘|Government has promulgated a decree prohibiting, the importation of manda- rins, raisins, pineapples, lobsters, cav- jare and canned fish, it seems as though it is considered of more importance to keep German gold in Germany than to allow these particular edibles to come in. The importation of practically all dress goods that are not absolutely necessary has been prohibited, and it is consid- ered patriotic to wear clothes that have no more material in them than neces- sary. Many women are falling back on their old clothes. This is something for which the German women were well prepared, as they are usually very thrifty and save their clothes long after they have passed the stage where they can be con- sidered to hold even ‘the last remnants of the freshness of their early youth.

TARGETS FOR GERMAN SHELLS Franco-American Corps Makes First Trip Over Teutan Lines—Lieut. Thaw’s Machine Struck. PARIS, May i3.—The American avia- tors who have been in the service of:the French army for the last year and who recently were brvuught together to for1n a flotilla under the name of the Franco- American Flying Corps, took part in an expedition over the German lines yester- day for the first time as a separate unit. Particularly heavy shell fire was direct- ed at them as they recrossed the front. The machine piloted by Lieut. ' Wil- liam K. Thaw of Pittsburg lost part of its tail piece and the propeller was dam- aged by a shell, but Lieut. Thaw brought it safely back to camp. Corp. Victor Chapman’s machine also was hit and driven out of its course, re- turning so late to its base as to cause | Corp. J. M. McConnell of Carthage, N. C., was flying at a height of 12,000 feet, but German shells burst all around him. showing that the range of the German anti-air craft guns has been lengthened. The flotilla started at daybreak and spent nearly two hours reconnoitering under sustained fire, but encountered ny German machines and no one was wounded. Sergt. Elliott Cowdin of New York, Corp. Kiffen Rockwell of Atlanta. Sergt. Norman Prince of Boston and Sergt. Hall of Galveston also took part in the expedition. Three more Franco-American flotillas are to be organized from the # addi- tional American volunteers, now in train- ing. Will Talk on Public School Needs. Prof. William J. 8.

The testimony at the Legislative Cém- mittee’s investigation yesterday regard- ing this particular incident was given toward the close of the examination of John L. Swayze, general counsel for the New York Telephone Co., who had ex- plained at length the system by which the police are permitted to “‘listen in” and had told of the “observation board.” Swayze had testified that in each case the company had received a letter of re- quest from the Police Commissioner. Lawyer on Stand. - John S. Seymour of the law firm fol- lowed Swayze on the stand. Attorney Moss questioned Seymour: “Were you aware that your wire had been tapped?’ was asked of him. “No, except from the newspapers and from Mr. Swayze's testimony,” he re- plied. “What circumstances led your brother to go to District Attorney Swann?” “I saw in the newspapers,’’ he replied, “that our wire had been tapped and a dictaphone installed in our office. Two men from a detective agency came tv our office and said the wires had been tapped. We didn’t believe it. It was said that the Burns agency had done it. Thesgletectives investigated for several hours, but found no indications of a dic- taphone. Then they went to Mr. Swann. Mr. Swann sent for Burns and it was said that Burns had admitted it. Even then we didn’t believe it. “Was there anything in the nature of a criminal transaction going on in your office?’’ he was asked. “Not the shadow of one,”’ he said. “There was a large business transac- tion, a munitions transaction for the allies, with large interests on both sides.” ‘ The witness saic he had been practic- ing law 38 years. He is a Yale gradu- ate and was at one time a United States Senator. He was Commissioner of Pat- ents under President Cleveland. As he left: the witness stand he declared: “T’ll spend the rest of my life trying to find out who it was said we were un- der suspicion.’’ 25 Roses in Our $1.00 Box Friday and Saturday.

WASHINGTON, May 18.—lIn cele- bration of the anniversary of the first Hague conference, representa- tives of the Women's Peace Party to- day asked President Wilson to take immediate steps to call a conference of neutral nations to make efforts to end the .war.

Thompson Burch, man of the local branch of the Wom- en’s Peace Party, and others told the President they bePieved the only thing delaying peace in Europe was the beginning of the movement by neutral nations.

The league’s streets committee yester- day afternoon decided to urge some needed improvements before the Demo- cratic national convention in June. Some members of the committee pointed out that many thoroughfares had been in poor shape for almost a year, or at least for the last six months. Lindell boulevard, one of the principal east-and-west highways for motor traf. fic, is in especially bad condition be- tween King’s highway and Skinker road, It is full of bumps and holes. King’s highway between Lindell and Page boulevards is not in the best shape and there are a few holes in Washington boulevard where it is paved with blocks. The sub-committee, composed of John A. Bruner, George J. Breaker and Clif- ford R. Croninger, will ask also that the principal drives through Forest Park from the Lindell entrance be fut . into first-class condition before the con- eta ae ts rce vention. The league expects to conduct the city’s guests on several motor trips and is anxious that the drives be over ° . ° roads as nearly as possible perfect.

The divorce evil in America receives considerable attention by the Special Committee on Christian Life and Work, which points out that the estimated av- erage of divorces has reached the alarm- ing ratio of about one to every 12 mar- riages, ‘“‘a showing that is worse than that of any other civilized nation.”’ In discussing the observance of the Sabbath another committee submits a y Lanucha, 9 years old, who was badly phyxiated soon after the boy was scald- nual Meeting.

Our Weight HIN people, particularly those who are ten pounds or more under normal weight, and who woulki like to put on some good healthy stay there flesh will be glad to know that such a result is often made possible by merely enabling the system to extwact and assimilate & greater proportion of the flesh and fatmaking elements in our daily meals. It is said that while thin people eat bh the greater portion of the fleshmaking nourishment of their food goes right through their bodies as waste because their assimilative organs are defective and cannot ab- sorb them. To —- 2 oe ggell and to 100 per cent strength flesh- oe a efficiency from your food try taking a little Sargol with meals for a few weeks. Sargol does not of itself make fat but aims to stop food waste and to make your f make fat by mak- ing it easier for your assimilative organs to accept the fat and flesh- making nourishment it contains. That this principle is correct would seem proved by the many remarkable weight increases Tk reported by those who tried it. ‘‘I have increased 18 Ibs. in Jess than a month’’ says one man from Colorado. A St. Louis lady writes ‘‘Gained 16 pounds and still gaining. And there are many more. The Sargol tablets are small, easily swallowed, produce no effects, contain no habit- drugs, are harmless and mot at expensive as compared with results d to be obtained. q 4 - . 0 Nie ip manip ps- nile.

My attention has teen called to an editorial the lith inst., undé@r the headline “Suppress the Straw Bonds- in your issue of last Thursday, men,” from which I quote as follows: Forfeited bail bonds to the number of 84, and amounting to a total of $15,950, remain uncollected ip this city. Straw bail was a subject on whieh Circuit At- torney Harvey gave special assurances to the public during his run for office. It appears, however, that of the 84 uncollected bonds, eight were forfeited during the year 1915. On four of these are de- linquent sureties either are not on the tax books at all or are assessed for amounts less than the bond.

Local News. “Pat” Houston’s soda fountain opening last Saturday was a big success, considering the fact that most of the farmers were busy in the fields and the Saturday crowd the smallest in weeks. D. B. Barnett of Harrisonville was on hand with the new musical instrument, the Artiphone, which, together with the fact that everyone is interested in encouraging one of our home boys whe is just starting in business for himeelf, brought all in town to the opening. The crowds listened for hours to the clear, sweet tones of the Arti- phone, meanwhile keeping Murrel and his assistants busy dispensing ice cream and soft drinks. When closing time came Saturday night Pat was tired bit happy. LONGING.

It seems to be growing colder every minute.”’ In a moment Frances was pouring coal into the big heater, which stood in the middle of the room. Mr. Walter, who had just recovered from a long illness, sat before its cheerful glow. “I do wish, dear, you could get your old job back,” said the wife as she busied about the table cutting bread. “I don’t know that I ought to expect it,”” remarked the father. ‘‘The new sta- tion agent is an excellent man and I have been sick so long that other men have come into the position.” “I think I will run out to the barn and see how Molly is getting on,” said Frances. “I want to take her some warm meal, anyway.” The house was one which sat high on a spur of the mountain and around this spur crept the railroad like a huge steel snake, winding in and out amid the peaks. Frances thought how lovely the valley and mountains looked in the pur- ple winter evening haze—like a glimpse of fairyland with the great forests laden with snow and the early mooniight spar- kling on the thick crust which covered the land. Then down on the right she noticed a bright blaze—the bridge from Front Royal was afire. {t was hidden in a chasm in the mountain, and not a soul would ever see it till too late. In half 4 re S,’’ said Mrs. Walter one urious feather bed. But the crowning terror of his life had become Hyacinth—Hyacinth Sharp, the attorney’s daughter. Like a wolf she pursued him. She was bound to marry him—or rather his money. At the thought of this tremendous responsibil- ity Jim had resolved to sacrifice all. He thought of the happy-go-lucky life of old, and then of her, and shuddered and—decam ped. Jim had his plan. Long and diligently he searched for an old partner of the road—Crippled Joe. He found his friend in a poor lodging house. He astonished the helpless hobo comrade with a prof- fer of home, fortune, friends. He took Joe to a lawyer and transferred to him legally all of his uncle’s bequest ex- cept $10,000 In cash. “Poor fellow! I’ve put it over on Joe!’ murmured Jim, “but maybe he’!l escape Hyacinth.” ‘Sold Into Slavery.” HEN Weary Jim plunged back into tf the old life. For a time, although the frowsiest of them all, he ran a free hotel for his compatriots, and ex- pended $5000 in that philanthropic ven- ture. The result was a riotous house- hold, increased indolence on the part of his patrons, and the police closed the place. One day Jim saw Cripple Joe and the peerless Hyacinth flash by in an auto He knew they were man and wife froin the pained, furtive expression on the face of Joe. “Sold into slavery!’’ chuckled Jim, and gloried in his rage and freedom. The remaining $000 was a burden to Jim. Its possession hurt his pride as a down-and-outer. One day he took a long tramp. It was to a place he had never forgotten, and the end of his pil- grimage landed him at the door of a | quaint, rustic cottage. The place looked poor, and the lovely | young girl who came to the door waé neatly but plainly dressed. A young man, her sweetheart, just leaving her | was evidently a workman. “I wanter see Dr. Jim, and his face fell as he was in- formed that the physician had been dead for severa! years, leaving his fam- ily very poor. “Such gooe men do,” sald Jim sor- rowfully, and then he told how, 15 years before, the doctor had nursed him through a two weeks’ sickness—he, a poor, homeless waif—and Jim had never forgotten it. A $5000 Gift. E told a great.lie as he placed his $5000 into the hands of the young lady. He had made a fortune in a mine and wore pc r clothes so he would not be robbed. And then he flitted away, leaving Rose Adams fairly as- tounded. The time came when Weary Jim felt he was “all in.’”’ “His uselessness was over,”’ as he comically put it. He was up one day, down another. Somehow, an indefinable longing sent him tramp- in; to the cottage home of his dead benefactor’s daughte- It was dusk when he approached the open window. Within the room were husband and wife an! a sweet little girl in her night robe. She was saying her prayers, and they ended with: “And, dear God, bless Mr. Newton, who brought mamma and papa the blessing of their life.” At the sweet cherub In pure white the old tramp gazed, then at his own at- tire. “I won't spoil the ~retty picture,’’ he said, and he w2nt woarily to a shel- tered corner of the garden and lay down and slept—and died. Thus they found him, and tenderly cared for the poor shell of a great soul. And in the quiet village graveyard there is a tombstone reading simply: “Weary Jim—Tramp, at Rest.”’ Copyright by W. G.

Walker. an hour the through train to Washing- Tton was due. “What can I do?’’ exclaimed the girl aloud. “Papa is sick, and even if he were well could not get there in time."’ S she watched the fiery tongues A leaping into the gray sky and cast- ing their reflection on the snow, she thought of a sled which hung in the barn. At her feet was a long, sloping side of the mountain, unbroken by a fence or a road—straight down for two miles it ran, a white, glittering sheet of shimmering crust. In a second the girl was in the barn, had snatched the sled from its nafl and a lantern frum a hook. In another second she had run to the kitchen, lighted the lantern and was dragging the sled to the crest of the mountain. Red shone the flames on the darken- ing sky—light after light broke out in the distant town of Fort Royal. Be- low in the town’s depot she could see the long lone of coaches with the gleam from their windows shining out on the snow—the Washington express was about to start up the mountain. Into the belt at her waist the girl had remembered to tuck a hatchet, knowing some need for it would arise. Hanging the lighted lantern around her neck, Frances sat down on the sled, gave it a shove and down, down, down she shot. Whiz, whiz, whiz, she sped down over the crust, a feather in a gale. Now she was near the foot, and com- ing toward the bridge at a slackened Sait. Down the track she could hear the whistle of the engine. She must stop before she was plunged into the burning bridge herself. Taking the hatchet up, she gave a blow into the crust of snow at her back—it went through and acted as a drag. Slower and slower went the sled, for the mountain was less steep now and the hatehet held into the hard crust, In a moment she was on the embankment half a mile below the bridge. AKING the lantern she tied it to : j a long pole she found, then lying on her stomach she held the light high above her head as she scrambled down the icy, stony embankment. Around the curve loomed the huge, panting engine. —— ~~ —— Saaneaeaee el ll dled dd el hh \ AS 4a an agRB ERS Bi @ @ pe_eaegs To wash Rugs clean, and leave the sizing un- injured, try the following for- mula—fully guaranteed when used as recommended: Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of Radium Soap in each gallon of gasoline needed.

There was a grinding of brakes, a sharp whistle in the mountain air, then the train slid forward a few hundred yards to come to a standstill. When the conductor ran back to pick up Frances he found her sitting silent and shivering on a stone by the track. But the passengers crowd- ed about her, took her into the warm car and in a few moments, when the crowd had walked the mile into Lin- den, she was the center of an admir- ing throng. The superintendent, who happened to be on the train, heard the child’s story. In @ carriage she was driven home that evening, accompanied by enough candy and fruit to last her two months, and along with her went the superintendent himself to see if Mr. Walter would accept his old po- sition back as station agent at Lin- den.

This company Avas absorbed by the AUTHORS PLANNING UNION AS PART Ot LABOR FEDERATION lf Scheme Goes Through Writers Will Have Cards Like Other Affiliated Workers- By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 18—A _ special meeting of the Council and Executive Committee of the Authors’ League of Amefica’ will be held today to receivo the report of a committee appointed to investigate the advisability. of the Aunthor’s League of America affiliating with the American Federation of 1a- bor. Thomas Buchanan, chairman of the committee said that the report was heartily in favor of the affiliation. It bears the signatures of Buchanan, Rex Beach, Ellis Parker Butler, George Creel, Walter Pritchard Eaton, George Barr McCutcheon, Louls Sherwin and Leroy Scott, all of whom are eager to carry union cards. The president of, the Authors’ League is Winston Churchill, and Theodore Roosevelt is vice presi- dent. If the Authors’ Union is formed, as Buchanan expects, it will join organ- ized labor on exactly the same footing s any union of carpenters, stage hands or other trades, and will be entitled to the same privileges in the way of legal advice and other assistance in time of need. Furthermore, said Buchanan, its mem- bers can carry union cards and in other ways formally maintain cheir place in the community as workers. Will Not Go on Strikes, But the Authors’ Union will not (and Mr. Buchanan was very eager to em- phasize this point) be compelled to go on sympathetic strikes. If the carpen- ters refuse to work, Buchanan said, the authors will not lay off—that is, unless they themselves choose to do so. But if the authors decide an allied trade has a fair complaint, they will back them up. And so will the allied trade back up the authors under similar conditions. “The real inside reason for unioniz- ing,’’ Buchanan said, “is that the au- thors want to protect themselves from the motion picture managers—the mak- and pink SEE WEST WINDOW Striped Skirts at $4.98 ‘ Ilustrated to left—gabardine, with stripes of navy blue —belt, band and fancy buttons. pockets of white —big* pearl Another pretty model is illustrated also, it has a wide The ground is white—the Another Skirt that is also come in plain colors.

That makes a profit of more than 100 per cent at the very least. It’s almost as good as the muni- tions business. “On a film like that we think the author is entitled to at least $3500—10 per cent. In addition he should have a fair percentage on everything that. is paid in over the $35,000 mark.” Buchanan said that “in all cases of dispute a representative of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor would be with us to meet the publishers, theatrical managers or motion picture managers and say, ‘These demands are fair.

You See DISPATC | petit MM ncn TTT Those Giants Come O THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1916. of the THAT BEAT NEW YORK SHOULD McGraw’s Men, With Seven Straight Victories, Impress Local Fans as a Real Club. ae PITCHERS ONLY PUZZLE If Perritt and Anderson Keep Up Present Stride They’ll Never Héad ’Em. By W. J. O’Connor. By way of introducing themselves and their winning streak, now em- bracing seven successive games, to the local bugs, the Giants yesterday made 15 hits for a total of 27 bases, scored nine runs, swiped five sacks in the first three innings, and beat the Cardinals, 9-3. Whereupon a prominent devotee of the pop-eyed pastime arose and re- marked: “If that team doesn’t win the National League championship, I’m going to look up’ an ambitious — and surrender, uncondition- a See 6 have had a peek at six of the seven National League clubs who don’t belong at Robison Field and r. McGraw’s men lay it over the field like a tent. Boston is yet to show here, but nothing that has been exhibited to date at Robison Field even approaches the New York entry. A Run-Getting Club. The writer saw McGraw’s men in camp at Marlin Springs and figured them a sure contender, with nobody to beat but Boston. There’s no reason to hedge on that hunch. McGraw has speed, batting strength and the prom- ise of fair pitching. He has a run- getting club and although the Giants are still in seventh place they have scored more runs than any, club in the league. McGraw has no explana- tion, however, for the slump which seized the team immediately after its return from Texas. “We simply fell in a heap,” said the Giant manager last night. “Our pitch- ers were bad one day and our defen- sive play cracked the next. We al- ways made runs, however, and some of our defeats this spring were the toughest I ever experienced. Just to show you how the New York fans viewed the situation, I[ might say that after losing 12 of our first 14 porte, we had 26,000 people in the olo Grounds to see us lose our thir- teenth battle of the season the Sat- wet 4 before we left home, “That shows you what the fans at home thought of the club when it was going at its worst. However I have a good team, much better than what I had last season and I know it will be up there fighting all the time. We've had our slump. other clubs are due to get theirs.’’ Jones Wanted Anderson. All McGraw needs is some pitching. And it now begins to look as though he will get it. Anderson, snared from the Feds, is a star. He’s the only hurler in the outlaw circuit that Fielder. Jones tried to buy. In fact only for some signals between Ball ana Jones being crossed, Anderson might today ar with the Browns, who need him badly. Mathewson has shown signs of a return to: life, according to the New York camp followers. Tesreau is Geasecepte while Perritt, Benton and Schauer should round out a great complement of hurlers. The Giants have a bang-up infield and easily the best outfield in the National ague. There is no trio in the parent body that approaches Robertson, Kauff and Burns, although the latter has not yet attained his real batting stride. Eddie Rousch, ‘a reformed Fed, is polishing the cen —? h he’s better than most ners who are toil other clubs, ing daily on sn’t a question of being carried gway by New York’s overwhelming vic- tory yesterday. It is simply a question of ok yee ed the inherent strength of @ club that has been victimized by the worst slump ever suffered by any team under McGraw’s control. The Giants have the right kind of stuff and the ae that beats them will win the old Hold Your Watch, Skip. It is a typical McGraw club.

OF REDS, HAS WON TWO AND LOST FIVE GAMES Big Right-Hander This Season Has Beew Knocked Out in Five of His Eight Starts. Last season there were many who thought Fred Toney, the big right- hander of the Reds, was a better pitcher than Grover Alexander be- cause of the fact that he finished sec- ond to Alex in efficiency, allowin only 1.57 earned runs per game an worked for a second division club, while Alex was with a pennant win- ner. It’s far different this year, though. To date Toney has won just two ames, while his defeats total five. is winning record in 1915 was 17—6. But that’s not all In five of his eight battles this season the right- hander has been chased off the hill. iw ¢ lone victories came April 16, when he beat the Pirates and against Brooklyn. n 44 innings pitched to date, he has been found for 44 hits, while the opposi- tion has counted 22 runs off him, an average of 4.5 per clash.

WILLARD-FULTON BOUT MAY NOT BE HELD LABOR DAY After Moran Battle, Champion Stated He Would Not Fight for Another Year. JESS TO GET = $37,000 Contest Will Be One of 10 Rounds Without Decision— Place of Go Not Decided. By Harry S. Sharpe, I.eferee for the Future City Athletir Club and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. Probably the most important item of boxing news that filtered through last week was the announcement that Jess Willard and Fred Fulton had been matched for a bout to take place on next Labor Day. The match is said to have been ar- ranged in Chicago and that the articles of agreement call for a 10-round, no-de- cision bout, and that Willard shall re- ceive a guarantee of $37,000, with a per- centage privilege, while Fulton will he given one-third of the gross receipts. Bids for the contest will be received up. to July 1, and the fight will take place wherever the most money is offered. Though Labor day was named as the date for the contest, it is not at ail im- probable that it will not take place on that day because of Willard’s contract wtih a circus during the summer which does not terminate until after Labor day, and the additional fact that Willard made the positive announcement after his recent bout with Frank Moran in New York City that he would not fight again for at least another year. However, it looks as if Fulton will be the champion’s next opponent whenever the latter is ready to fight. He is being primed for the event, and made an ex- cellent impression by decisively out- pointing Al Reich in New York City a few weeks ago. Fulton is nearer Wil- lard’s size than any other heavyweight prominently identified with the boxing fame, except Carl Morris, and the orig- inal “‘white hope” is hardly considered of any importance now. Mexican Pete on Deck. Jules Tucker of this city is in receipt of a unique poster billing ‘40 rounds of boxing’ at Central, N. M. Patrons are assured that the hall in which the’ bouts will be held is ‘rain proof.’’ “Mewican’’ Pete Everett, who was thought to have béen down and out and completed his career years ago, is matched in the main event of 20 rounds4 with ‘‘Kid’’ George. “‘Mexican’”’ Pete's record is given on the poster, and an astonishing thing about it is that he is credited with a knockout,’ in all his bouts excepting two, and-in them it fs stated that he received the decision. One of them was with Frank Childs and the other with *‘Sailor’’ Tom Sharkey. age epg J to the memory of most people who have followed the boxing game for a lon while, Everett seldom ‘won a bout, an was apt to quit at the bat of an eye. Knocked Out by Jeffriés. Another announcement contained on the poster in regard to Pete is that he “has fought them all, including James Jeffries for the. world’s championship.” The fight is-very well remembered. It was won by Jeffries in three rounds at San Francisco in 1898. The name of the referee is not given, but the poster says he will be a “Silver City man.” It’is promised that good order will be maintained: and “ladies are cordially invited.” ' Mickey Sheridan of Chicago is giv- ing out the wrong dope when he states ‘that he “defeated. and almost had ‘Sailor’ Jerabek of St. Louis out in the last four rounds” of the bout which took place here several weeks ago. Sheridan received a decisive beating, and it was only his ability to stand up under punishment that enabled him to go through with the pent rounds. Jerabek was an easy winner, though. Sheridan did some ood slugging at intervals and had e “Sailor” worried. o---—- -- DATES FOR BIG ‘RACES AT DOUGLAS PARK NAMED LOUISVILLE, Ky., May ‘%).—Manager John Hachmeister has announced the dates of the running of the four big stake events to decided’ at the coming gz meet- ing of 13 racing days of the Douglas Park Jockey Club, which begins on Monday, May 29, and ends on Monday, June 12, They are as follows: The Memorial ae u Saturday, Ju es, with rday, June a Trial Stakes, with $2500 added. five furlongs, Monday, June “TAKE H " é, a 2 it 2 ‘ j Attention!

What's the matter with the Browns? Where will the Cardinals finish? Was yester- day’s game handled properly by Huggins? Should games start at 83 or 8:80 o'clock?

This ia your chance, Grand-Stand managers! LL ALA A ALA LL A LID Who Can Answer This? Sporting Editor Post-Dispatch: Isn't it true that the sporting writers forced Jones to keep Sisler, Pratt, Lavan and Shotton in the lineup, and isn’t it true the writers are now knocking Jones because he won't take them out? Why do the sporting writers make large headlines about the ex-Feds’ little fumbles, and why do they cover y for the ex-Browns? GRAND STAND MANAGER. P.

Why is it, friend, that police don‘t arrest about 500 of those boys who annoy people going to the ball parks with that *“Watcha-your-machine- mister?’ cry?

I can run either ball club once I’m in the park, but getting past those “high-pitch” guys on the outside is what gets my nanny. WwW. G df. F ine Work, Frank!

Dear Sir: I am not one of the so-called grandstand managers. I am simply a patron of both of our ball parks, a fan, if you please, who pays his money at the gate ard mij3ses very few games. I am going to take advantage of your kind invitation extended to the fans two express their views by saying that the trouble in St. Louis is too much grand- Stand managemet and lack of loyalty on the part of the fans. Give the paid manager a chance and bench the grandstand manager. Yours truly, : FAIR PLAY. Too Much “Federal.” Dear Editor: As one of those Grand- stand Managers,: my opinion about, the Browns is: *““Too much Federal League.” If Jones wants to win he had better tse old reliable Carl Weilman, Kid Knob and Young Park, and give Earl Hamil- ton a chance; put a real third-sacker on the bag instead of Deal, who can't play in the American League.

RAGE. WAS GREAT AID TO MEREDITH Cornell Winner, Who Had Just Won Mile, Ran Best Event of His Career. NEW YORK, May 18.—When Ted Mer- edith threw himself through the tape at the end of that memorable half-mile race at Stockholm nearly four years ago in the unheard-of time of 1 minute 52 5-10 seconds, the athictic experts who were fortunate enough to be on the’ spot and see that great performance, in_ their post-mortem. ‘on that race agreed that the Mercersburg schoolboy had estab- lished a record that would stand for many years. “It will be many and many a year be- fore such a combination of cireum- stances as held in this race will be brought together in a half-mile struggle again,’’ opined the boys who talked of Meredith's great running feat. “An un- beatable haif-miler paced through the first quarter in better than 52 seconds (Sheppard did that), then caught up and dragged along to continued = speed through the third 22 by a man who was making his bid to shake off Uncle Sam's fleet half-milers (Braun of Germany), and then forced to still greater effort in the dash for the wire by the veteran Sheppard, who was running the greatest pace of his great career.’’ This: combi- nation of pace-quickeners, the experts agreed, forced Meredith to a speed that man being. Meredith, himself, ruhning the next to the last big race of his college ca- reer, upset this theory at Philadelphia last Saturday afternoon by running the half-mile in 1 minute 52 1-5 seconds— three-tenths of a second, or about 2% yards, faster than his Stockholm per- formance. And now. the question arises, Would Ted have run as fast last Saturday with- out the rattling fight that Windnagle of Cornell gave him through the last haif of the race? Truly, the running of Moak- ley’s sturdy middle-distancer was the feature of the sace. Whoever dreamed that Windnaglie had it in him to do 1:52%, and that after running a mile about three yards worse than 4 minutes and 26 seconds? Windnagle’s rerforni- ance indicates that he will make Johnny Overton of Yale do way under 4:20 to win the intercollegiate mile at Carm- bridge. It will be no surprise at all if Windnagle trims the fleet son of Eli. Paste that in your hat. Ty Cobb Hissed for First Time in Washington, When He Resents Hurler’s Remark NEW YORK, May 18.—Ty Cobb was hissed by Washington fans last Mon- day for the first time in his life. In the thipd inning, the Georgian singled and Boehling caught him off first base, tha Nationals eventually running him dowr and the piteher making the pdtout. Boehling called Ty a vile name as he applied the ball to him and Co retaliated by throw- ing dust in his )face. The fans whe saw the dust throw- ing, but wid didn’t hear the remark that provoked it, leaped on Detroit's star immediately, a storm of hissing and “booing’’ breaking out in all parts of the park. Washington play- ers who had gathered around first base were urged to “take a punch” at Tyrus, but there! was no violence, the Nationals having more sense than some of their adherents. Throughout the afternoon Ty was made the target for verbal abuse whenever he appeared and he prob- ably has lost some friends through his rather ill-chosen method of re- senting Boehling’s insult. No other ball. player ever has been s0 univer- sally popular here as Cobb and it is unfortunate that he has placed him- self in such a position. There is no question that Boehling’s foul talk merited some action on Ty’s part, but he would have been wiser !f he had controlled himself until a more suit- able time for demanding*satisfaction. Indian Jim Thorpe has dropped out of the .800 class. The latest firures give the for- mer Giant a mark of .280. He has made 23 hits in 82 times at bat.

This storm is traveling around, dis- guised as the New York National League club. It is dressed up in prison suits and promoted by an acrobat named John McGraw. McGraw stood on his head in the third infing when Fred Merkle hit to the center field fence for a home run, but he didn’t have much on the Cardinals, who were walking around on their ears from the time the game began. ‘ The final score was 9—3, and the Car- dinals didn’t get the 9. In fact, they didn’t get two of their three until the last portion of the ninth, when Fred Anderson, who toiled last year in the be ara League, let down and positively oated, In the early innings the Giants gave an exhibition of hitting, the like of which has not been seen here since the foul-bal! rule went into effect. Three triples, a home run and three doubles were included in the enemy’s collection of 15 hits, which were combed from the deliveries of Doak, Meadows and Bob Steele. Doak pulled up with a sick elbow in the third inning after the Giants had scored one run. Meadows was hauled forth from beneath the grand stand, and the Giants gave him a reception that he will remember for many a day. They jumped on him for four runs before he could get his “specs” adjusted to the range. ® Hug recalled Meadows before he had fin- ished one inning, and then came Bo Steele, who was nervous enough to allow three more runs in the fourth frame. , After that it was just a gallop for the gay gazelles from New York. * It was Benny Kauff’s first introduction to the patrons of Robison ield. He scratched an infield single in the first_in- ning, walked tn the third and tripled in the fourth. After that he began to act like a normal human being, in all ways ex- cept flelding. He went back on a pair o line drives later in the game and pocketed the ball in such a way as to make the fans appreciate why he has been set up as a mark for Ty Cobb to shoot .-at. in the sixth. tag Bescher on the line and to Merkle for the double play. Bescher retreated until Doyle was forced to try for Hornsby. “Rowers beat the throw, an Bescher then bolted for second. He was called out for running out of line, although Fletcher made a violent effort to tag him but missed connection. It wasn’t neces- sary for Fletcher to tag Bescher. h Hornsby on first, the force was still on, and all Fletcher needed to do was to touch the bag. However, Umpire Byron relieved him even of this worry by calling Robert the Speeder out, made eight hits.

There are so many conflicting interests, so many people who believe that their road and not the 6ther fellow’s that should be improved, that the good roads movement itn that county is jeopardized. As a remedy for these conditions Hawés proposes a Ddilan- ket bond issue for the benefit of a whole county and all the roads in the county, in preference to attempts to build one special road. Hawes stggests that the central asso- ciation be supported by contributions from the organizations composing it, which shall be entitled to representation according to the amount contributed, He proposes a permanent secretary, fleld men and an office force, the services of all officers to be given without compen- sation. ee Ban; Bee Candy Bargain Friday.

SENATE HAS ANTI-FLOOD BILL Measure Which Passed House Would Reclaim 16,000,000 Acres, WASHINGTON, May 18.—Advoéates of flood prevention legislation for the Mis- sissippi and Sacramento Rivers were hopeful today of early action by the Senate on the bill which the House passed last night by an overwhelming vote. Zhe measure would appropriate * $45,000,000 for the Mississippi and $5, 600, - 000 for the Sacramento. This is contin: gent upon the Mississippi Valley inter- ests contributing an amount equal to one-half of the Mississippi appropriation and California an amount equa! to the Sacramento appropriation. It was brought out during the debate in the House on the bill that the Mis- sissippi River project would make it possible to recla:m at least 15,000,000 acres of land and the Sacramento pro- ject about 1,000,000 acres. A second objection cited toward di- rect contributions for road making is ihat it causes jealousies and animosities : jravois avs. South End Hardware Co., 2861 Gravois av. , ee ees bat Frank, elt Sout ie pantord rd, SC.
