Roberts, 22, in Serious Con- tion _ at City Hospital. Mason C. Roberts, 22 years old, of 3628 Folsom avenue, a medical student at St. Louis University, is at the city hospital suffering from what physicians have diagnosed as septicemia, a disease in- duced by handling test tube cultures of dangerous disease-producing germs. He has been delirious for more than twelve hours and his condition is sail to be serious. He was specializing in bacteriology and necessarily had to handle inany cul- tures of disease germs. His first syinp- toms were swellings of the joints and | pains. At the city hospital, where he worked as a stretcher carrier to pay his school expenses, it was at first thought this was articular rheumatism. A few days later Roberts’ nose began to bleed profusely and shortly afterward he be- came delirious. Physicians said today they were un- able to account for how the toxins, or poisons, of the germ cultures had en- tered Roberts’ body unless through ent- ing without first thoroughly sterilizing his hands. PRESSES BUTTON AND 100,000 TONS OF ROCK LEAP INTO AIR Belleville Mayor Sets Off 22,000 Pounds of Dynamite in Colum- bia, III., Quarry. The touching of an electric button at 3 p. m. Saturday by Mayor Duvall of Belleville set off 11 tons of dynamite in the quarries of the Columbia Quarry Co. at Columbia, IIL, and loosened ap- proximately 100,000 tons of rock. The cost of this shot,“ one of the largest ever made by the Columbia company, was $5000 for the dynamite and $2500 for the work of drilling the holes and plac- ing the explosive. The stone loosened will be sold for $65,000 to $80,000, according to the man- agement, and it will take the workmen three months to clear it out-and ship it. This will leave an excavation 550 feet long, 80 feet deep and 40 feet wide. It took two months to drill the 48 holes for the explosive and a week to load them. The rock, which is limestone, will be crushed at the quarry and sold to the free bridge contractors, to road builders and to farmers. The farmers use the fine limestone dust to sweeten the soil.

R. and Root Forces to Com- bat Plan to Nominate Hughes First. CHICAGO, May 30.—Activée work in behalf of Theodore Roosevelt for the Republican nomination for President was begun here today by Herbert L. Satterlee, son-in-law of the late J. P. Morgan, and Lawrence Graham of New York, who are in charge of the local Roosevelt headquarters. The appoint- ment of an organizing committee of Chicago business men, consisting of J. Ogden Armour, Frank Baakes, Arthur L. Farwell, Johns Miller, A. A. Sprague II and John E. Wilkie, was announced. The committee will meet Thursday to plan an effective organization in in- nois. George von L. Meyer and Arthur F. Cosby of New York will join the Roose- velt forces here tomorrow. The Republicans have nine good can- didates for President,“ said Herbert wu. Satterlee. ‘‘The man who has the. best batting average .should be nominated, and we believe Roosevelt is that man, The only candidate the Democrats have is President Wilson. Col. Roosevelt is second choice of many states, This is why we have been organizing in Illi- nois, which has Senator Sherman as its favorite son candidate. Similar move- ments will be started in other states. We have no figures to give out at pres- ent indicating Col. Roosevelt's strength on the first ballot in the convention, but we are satisfied with the progress our candidate is making.“ Sherman Men Active. Headquarters for Senator Sherman were opened today by Walter Rosen- field of Rock Island and \. iliiam Colvin of Springfield. Congressman William B. man campaign in à few days. “Fifty-six of the 58 delegates from Illinois are pledged to Sherman, and will stay with him until released,“ said Mr. Rosenfield. ‘‘He will have at least 85 votes in the convention on the first ballot.” It was announced that Senator Sher- man will not come to Chicago for the convention. Indications are that the plan of Frank H. Hitchcock to have the name of Charles E. Hughes presented to the Re- publican national convention as the first candidate may result in an interesting fight between the Root, Roosevelt and Hughes forces. Hitchcock's Plan, Hitchcock’s arrangement is that when the roll of states is called in alphabetical order to make nominations for Presi- dent, to have Alabama, the first on thé list, yield in favor of New York, so that Hughes may have the advantage of hav- ing his name presented first. When friends of Root and Roosevelt learned of this plan they declared they would at- tempt to get recognition from the chair- man to present the name of their cand. date before Hughes. They said that the chairman of the convention would be obliged to settle the dispute at the time it arises. Chairman Hilles today gave out a revised list of the 40 contests involving the seats of 62 delegates which the Republican National Committee will take up for consideration Thursday, June 1, as follows: Alabama—Délegates-at-large, 6: Ninth Congressional District, 1; total, 7.

The contests filed will not affect the chances of any of the candidates, as most of them are either disputes de- tween rival factions or are based on charges that the provisions of the Na- tional Committee's call were not car ried out.“ sald Cuairman Hilles. “We expect to get through with the contests in three days. The most com- plicated le the one in the Distri¢t of ColumDia, where three factions have made protests and charged fraud.“ Chairman Hilles has declined to give convention tickets to seven men wh4 have written that they are dark horse presidential candidates but who have no votes of delegates pledged.

In putting the finishing touches on his car, Louis Chevrolet broke a crank- shaft on his car and could not start. Gaston ‘Chevrolet failed to qualify his mount, but Joe Boyer Jr., a young De- troit millionaire, took the wheel and sent it around the brick oval well above the 80 miles an hour average required. By special permission of the A. A. A. board at the track, Louis Chevrolet was permitted to drive his younger brother's ear in the 900-mile grind. Boyer's fam- fly objected to his driving in the race.

WASHINGTON, May 30.—Col. John N. Mosby, the most famous Confederate raider of the Civil War, died here today after a long mess. He was a native of Virginia and was 82 years old. Col. Mosby's. death, his ‘physicians said, was due solely to old age; and he was conscious and interested in what was going on about him until an hour before he passed away. Until. six months ago when he went into a sudden: decline, he was a familiar sight about the streets of the capital, apparently vigofous despite his age. He will be buried at his ancéstral home at Warrenton, Va., probably Thursday, and some, ‘survivors of his noted command will be pall bearers. It was said that he never took part in veterans’ réunions bécause 22 years ako, when he attended one of his command at Alexandria,. Va., he was so overcome with emotion he was unable to speak. Col. Mosby dared death more than 50 years ago when at the head of a band of a few hundred Confederate raiders: be rode up and down the Shen- andoah Valley, capturing Outposts, de- stroying supply trains, and cutting off means of communication. It has been estimated that he often néutralized the force of over 15,00 Federal in the val- ley. Born in Virginia. ‘ Born in Powhattan County. Va., Dee. 6, 1833, and graduated from the Un- versity of Virginia in 1852, he was prac ticing law in Bristol, Va., when the war broke out and he began his career in the Confederate army. He proved his daring with such effect that he became a scout for Gen. J. E. B. Stuart and led the celebrated raid around McCtel- lan’s army on the Chickahominy. In Richmond a year later, he recruited an independent “cavalry troop which be- came famous as Mosby's Partisan Ran- i‘ ROME, May 30.—A large transport steamer was torpedoed and sunk by harbor of Trieste on the night of May 28 it was officially announced this afternoon.

After the reception at the Hotel Muehl- bach and his speech to the children there, Col. Roosevelt was told that the streets outside were thronged with peo- ple waiting to see and hear him. Ac- companied by Maj. Warner and. Maj. Stone, he went to the mezzanine floor “and crawled out to the roof of the glass canopy over the Baltimore avenue entrance. It was rather a perilous place to stand, but the Colonel got a foothold and addressed the thousands. He devotéd most of the talk to pre- paredness. [I ask you to prepare our nation just the same as a baseball team prepares ‘cr the league season. Every successful mine must have spring practice and the roan that said a baseball team needed no practice would be fit for an asylum. I want you to do for the nation what any fifth rate team in a fifth rate league would do for itself.“ Five thousands seats in Convention Hall were reserved for of the G. A.

Louis, HE Irish rebellion has failed as 7 deplorably and definitely as so ill-timed, ill-conceived and ill- organized an uprising was probably destined to fail. There is blood once more on the shamrock—the blood of those whom some will cal] traitors and others martyrs. New woes of Ireland are in the making. The year 1916 will stand, in the future, beside 1649 and 1798 in the list of Ireland’s grievances. Once more a barrier has been erected between the En- glish and the Irish people, for blood is thicker than water and forms at times a barrier more enduring than triple steel, more difficult to over- come than mountains, oceans and | centuries. The mere fact that blood has been shed seems, in the case of England and Ireland, to be enough. The ques- tion of the merits of the case neither country has ever been able to argue with impartiality, and in the past each has invariably sustained its own side. Both are, therefore, likely in the present crisis to follow the traditions of centuries and maintain on the one hand that the men just executed are traitors, and on the other hand they are martyrs. The law of Ireland which makes them traitors will suffice for English minds to prove them so. The fact that the English made those laws will be sufficient to prove to Irish minds the wickedness of the law and the reality of martyrdom. So much is fairly obvious to every one, but the rebellion is none the less a vital and important element in the English sit- uation of the present moment and it may be that it will have sufficient effect upon the war to be reckoned with in after years. Why Irish Question Has Always Been International OME rule and the Irish ques- H tion have really been interna- tional rather than local. The strategic position of Ireland, the ex- istence of good harbors previously used by England’s enemies to op- pose her upon the sea, the amount of money which it was assumed the home rule experiment'“ would cost — all of these made it a distinct fac- tor in international affairs. With it the Germans have played today as the Spanish did in the sixteenth cen- tury and the French in the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries. One reason why the English have been so anxious to settle the Irish difficulty has been the extent to which the Irish members at West- minster have been able to interfere with English international policies. The English have felt that England and not Ireland needed the home rule, that the English party situa- tion has put the control into the hands of Irish members and has al- lowed them in some cases to de- cide and in all cases to influence the shape and character of imper-al “Blood on Shamrock, While ( , Fortifying Britain’s Spirit, Makes Barrier Between Races More Enduring Than History in LEAVES IRELAND'S FUTURE DARK” Prof, Usher Befieves Onfy Evil Can Come of It =) STRAVGSE PHOTO "PROF ſe. G. USHER. policy and at times diplomatic rela- tions. Upon this the Germans have counted to weaken the action of En- gland in great crises. They have believed that the Irishmen were not loyal and the English, fearful of what the Irish would do, would be compelled to choose the more con- servative course and to hold their hand where policy might have dic- tated aggression and prompt action. Pan-Germaniste Believe British Empire Is Lacking in Solidity T has certainly tended te confirm the German impression that England’s treatment of Ireland leaves her few excuses to complain of German conduct in Belgium. They will also see in it the confirmation of the Pan-Germanists’ assurances that the British empire entirely lacks solidarity and only needs a touch at the right moment to overthrow the whole fabric. To be sure, this par- ticular touch has not overthrown anything, but the rebellion has heart- ened the Pan-Germanists and those who follow them in their notion that the dissolution of Great Britain has begun. HE moral effect of the rebellion The moral effect in England, of course, and in America, outside cer- tain few circles, will not be at all the same. In the main the Anglo- Saxon sees in this rebellion an un- fortunate attempt of ill-advised men to reorganize Ireland in ways fore- doomed to failure. That the sta- bility of the British Government or the solidarity of the empire is in any way involved, they will not credit. Rebellion will, as before, probably stiffen the back of England in the war, arouse her determination and do more to unite her parties, political SINN FEIN REBELLION’S FAILURE | ruhe advance lines of the entente allies “Inevitable Conclusion Is That Home Rule Is Not Wanted by the Majority, Considering That Ulster- ites Also Are Against It.” than most recent and industrial, events. England will least of all belteve this incident a sign of real weakness, and no doubt the executions have been intended, not so much to punish the Irish as to assure England's allies and enemies of the absolute confi- dence of the Government in its power to deal with the situation in any way they may desire. They wished to prove that the rebellion is utterly crushed, that they see no probability of further uprising, that they believe it the work of a small minority, and that there is no discontent in the great majority of the Irish people which needs to be conciliated. There will be those, of course, who will feel that these same things might be as well obtained by clemency as by se- verity to the leaders, but on previous occasions English statesmen have sought to achieve these purposes in this way. Impression Given That Majority in Ireland Opposes Home Rule HAT the effect upon home rule W will be is more difficult to predicate. Undoubtedly all parties now realize that the majority of the Irish people are not in favor of home rule, which is now on the verge of execution. The Ulsterites, of course, have always disliked it and have claimed a majority of the peo- ple in their suppoft. The only color of reason for supposing formerly that the numerical majority of Irish peo- ple aproved the bill was the claim of Mr. Redmond and others that the non-Ulsterites all supported the bill, with here and there an unimportant element of dissent. As the rebellion is quite clearly not the work of Mr. Redmond or his supporters, it is obviously the work of the dissenters in Mr. Redmond’s own party, who regarded home rule as so inadequate that they have pre- ferred the chance of a revolution rather than wait a few months for the act to be put into execution. Surely they could not have more clearly demonstrated their lack of faith in the adequacy of the act, mor their unwillingness to follow linger the leadership of Mr. Red- mond. He cannot claim now, with the assurance he has before, the support of the majority of the people in ‘Ireland. Home rule, always a misnomer in the face of the oppo- sition of Ulster, becomes still less democratic when it seems probable that only a minority of the people desire it. The whole logical basis of the movement has fallen out; the bucket has lost its bottom; the tub no longer stands upright. If home rule is to be the government of Ire- land by its own people, what shall be said of u scheme which a very obvious majority of its own people reject? The future looks dark and forbidding, and the problem which British statesmen have thus far failed to solve seems once more in- soluble. (Copyright, 1016, by Public Ledger Co.) — — Col. John Mosby. Noted War Raider, Dies at 82 Continued From Page E forced to retire into stockades for de- tense. Critics of the war declare that this action enabled Gen. Lee to prolong his resistance several months, for if Sheridan had been successful he would have cut Gen. Lee’s communication and rendered his army helpless. On another occasion Col. Mosby made a daring ride to within sight of Wash- ington. Clipping a lock of his hair, he gave it to.a woman he met going to market and asked her to take it to Presdent Lincoln at the Capitol. After Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Col. Mosby rode into the Federal lines and gave himself up. A reward of $5000 had been offered for him dead or alive and many of the Northern leaders urged that he be treated without mercy. He had been accused of complicity in the plot for Lincoln's assassination, but Gen. Grant treated him leniently. He was active in the reconstruction work in the South and bitterly opposed many measures that were forced upon the South. When Horace Greeley was nominated for President by the Demo- crats Mosby renounced the party and actively supported Grant. After Grant's election he refused to accept office as e reward, but in the Hayes administra- tion he accepted appointment as Consul to Hongkong. He held this post seven years. When he returned to the United States, Mosby called on the surviving members of his rangers and, to his as- tonishment, he found that a large per- centage of them had become ministers. In parting their old Colonel said: Well. boys, if you fight the devil like you fought the Yankees there will be some- harassed the workmen that they were. turesque figure on the streets or lecture platform.

He declined to make pub- lic the list of those to whom tickets had been given. Chairman Hilles will ask the conven- tion to appoint a committee to study the direct primary laws of the different states in an effort to decide upon a un- form system for the selection of delv- gates to the party’s national conven- tion for recommendation to the statec. “All the confusion which now results from the conflicting state laws would be avoided if a uniform law is adopted by all the states, said Chairman H- les. As it now is the primary laws of no two states are the same and the re- sult is unsatisfactory to all. I consider the subject of great importance.“ La Fayette B. Gleason of New York, secretary of the convention, arrived to- day. Alice Hill Chittenden of the New York State Anti-National Woman Suffrage Association notified Chairman Hilles by telegraph that she would appear before the Convention Committee on Resolu- tions to oppose the insertion in the Re- publican platform of a national woman suffrage plank. The National Anti- Woman Suffrage Association will send a Gelegation to Chicago to work against the plank, while members of the Na- tional Congressional Union win appear before the Resolutions Committee to plead in favor of an indorsement of nation-wide suffrage for women. Chairman Hilles has been advised that the six delegates representing Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines, who, ‘ Committee in 1913 are given seats in the convention without votes, will make a determined fight before the Credentials Committee for the right to vote. They will argue that they are as much entitled to vote as the delegate from the District of Columbia and Alaska. Nattenal Committeeman Ralph E. Williams of Oregon announced that when the delegation of 10 from his state arrives here June 4 he will rec- ommend that the five men chosen as delegates to the Progressive national convention be seated as alternates in the Republican convention. The list of alternates will be filled by the election of four unsuccessful can- didates for delegate and the addition of another. Hughes won in the Oregon presidential preferential primary, but the law makes no provision for the elec- tion of alternates in that State. Na- tional Committeeman Williams will make this recommendation in an effort to unite the Republican and Progressive factions. Senator John W.

We are ready to fight for our rights when our rights are coincident with the rights of mankind.” America, said the President, does not want more territory, but she does want all nations to realize and respect whet she stands for. One principle of Amer- ica, he added, is that small and weak states have as many rights as larger states. Alliance Only for Liberty. The President declared that the United States is ready to become a partner in an alliance with nations to uphold hu- man rights and replied to published criticisms of such a policy. He declared that, like George Washington, he would never consent to an entangling alliance, but that he would consent to a disen- tangling alliance, one which will free nations. There, he added, is lib- erty.”’ The President referred to ths army re- organization bill recently passed by Con- gress and declared that he had placed before the business men of the country the question of whether they will allow their employes for young men of suit- able age to get ready to volunteer, he said. “Are business men ready to give young men in their employ freedom to volun- teer?” he asked. All men say we should rrepare. Are business men ready to help? I have no doubt as to how these questions will be answered.“ Universal Military Service. Discussing universal military service, the President said that America does not want anything but the compulsion of the spirit of America. He closed with a reference to the darkness in which Europe is now floundering.“ At present, the President declared, America must avoid a spirit of division and reach common ends by common counsel. He was enthusiastically ap- plauded by a large gathering of war veterans. The President’s speech followed a parade up Pennsylvania avenue, re- viewed by military and naval officers. Special honor was paid the memory of those who lost their lives on the battle- ship Maine and the submarine F-4, which sank off Honolulu recently. Fifty women standing on the deck of a steamer, as it passed up the Potomac River strewed flowers on the water in honor of the country’s naval heroes. Government departments were closed. The Senate adjourned for the holiday, but the Representatives held a session. Three Parades in New York; Notable Military Display. NEW YORK, May 30.—The high pitch of patriotism caused by the prepared- ness campaign emphasized the celebra- tion of Memorial day here and made the military display one of the most notable in many years. National guard organ- ization, G. A. R. posts, Spanish War Veterans, the Coast Artillery, battal- fons of marines and sailors from the warships in the harbor, the Boy Scouts and other organizations made up three parades. One of the most interesting memorial services of the day will take place late this afternoon when Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbee, U. S. N., rétired, who was in charge of the battleship Maine when she was blown up in Ha- vana Harbor, will place a wreath on the monument to the heroes of the Maine at Columbus Circle. The Rev. John P.

FREMONT, O., May 30.—Distinguished men gathered here today for the dedi- cation of the memorial to Rutherford B. Haves, nineteenth President of the Unit- ed States. The dedicatton exercises were planned as the chief feature of the ob- rervance of Memorial day. The usual decoration of graves by the G. A. R. veterans and a civic parade of more than ordinary interest will mark the day. The Hayes memorial is a beautiful $60,000 building made largely of Ohio eandstone and Vermont granite, Ver- mont being the native State of the for- mer President. The principal address was made by Charles Richard Williams, former editor of the Indianapolis News, for years a warm friend of the Hayes family. Prominent among the other speakers were Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Senator Pomerene, Gov. F. B. Willis, former Gov. James E. Campbell and Judge John H. Clarke of Cleveland. Spiegel Grove, the former home of Gen. Hayes, where the memorial is lo- cated, has been donated to the Com- monwealth of Ohio as a State park. The contents of the memorial are valued at $100,000. They include all books, and personal possessions of the soldier President. Dyer Addresses Veterans at Fort Kinson, Wis.

C. Hardcastle’s “As You Like It” pageant dancing class has put up to Cecil J. Sharp, English dancing master, under whose direction the may- pole prologue in Forest Park is to be given. And Sharp can take or leave it as he likes it. It is on account of the way he acted when he called Monday night at Rose Ii Hall to see how the class was get- ting along. He gave the members to un- derstand that they were not getting along at all to his liking and before he left he struck off the names of 10 of the & dancers. The class by a unanimous vote struck as a whole. Mrs. Hardcastle said today that Sharp entered with such a rush that he almost knocked down two of the dancers. Ar- thur Gilliam was at the piano doing his best. Sharp rushed to him and clutched his shoulders and shook him, he said. “Play that right,” he says he shouted. ‘‘You’re murdering it. That's beautiful music. I wrote it myself. Read your notes.“ Rehearses Firat Dance, Mrs. Hardcastle hurried down from the platform and Sharp told her what he thought of her pianist. Mrs. Hardcastle defended Gilliam. She told Sharp he was one of the best pianists in town. Sharp rushed to the platform and put the class through the first dance. As the 20 men and 20 women danced he pointed cut one after another and told them they would not do. When he was ready to leave he handed Mrs, Hardcastle a list of 10 names of dancers who were not acceptable. To Mrs. Hardcastle’s amazement he had re- jected some of her best dancers and had retained some of the worst ones, sho said. She told him she would put it up to the class. She did so and they cried, “All or none.” She had them ballot on it. The vote was unanimous. So all or none of Mrs. Hardcastile’s dancers will dance at Forest Park. Mrs. Hardcastle said today: “It was Mr. Sharp's privilege to pick the danc- ers. We knew he would. But it was the way he did it, we objected to. He Was most discourteous. He had such a manner. He looked so cross. He talked se loud. We did not expect such con- duct from Mr. Cecil J. Sharp. Sharp Disconcerted Dancers. „My class began late because I was sick for six weeks. The instruction was given my Miss Sabra Johnson, my assistant, who is thoroughly capable. The dancers worked hard and did well. They were disconcerted by Mr. Sharp's manner and did not do their best for him, “A few had entered the class late and did not know the dances and expected to be weeded out. To their surprise they were retained and some of my very best dancers were rejected. Mr. Sharp had evidently used such poor discretion that they were all hurt, and the class decided not to go on unless all should be accept THOUGH DYING, SEEKS OFFICE County Treasurer George P.

EW DESIGNS FOR DIMES, QUARTERS AND HALF DOLLARS Three Coins to Be Changed for First Time Since 1891 After July 1. WASHINGTON, May %.—Dimes. quar- ters and half dollars of new desian will be minted after July 1, Secretary Mo- Adoo announced today. For the first time since 1891, a change will be made in these pieces. The announcement says that the half dollar has fallen practical- ly into disuse. The new design was selected with hope of restoring it into more general circulation. Each of the new designs is different. The half dollar and dime models were made by Adolph A. Weinman, and the quarter dollar by Herman A. MacNeil, both sculptors of note. The face of the new half dollar bears a full length figure of liberty, with a background of the American flag flying to the breeze. The Goddess is striding forward to the dawn of a new day, car- rying laurel and oak branches, symbolic of civil and military glory. The re- verse side shows an eagle perched high upon a mountain crag, wings unfolded. Growing from à rift in the rock is a sapling of mountain pine, symbolic of America. The design of the 2%5-cent piece is in- tended to typify the awakening of the country to its own protection, Secretary McAdoo’s announcement says.

JDSON OUTLINES PLATFORM OF LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE Calle Pian a “Declaration of Inter- dependence” and Says Meeting Was Historic Occasion. F. N. Judson and Percy Werner were delegates from Missouri who attend- ed the session of the League to Enforce Peace, which sat in Washington Friday and Saturday of last week, and which terminated with the banquet at which President Wilson made his memorable speech, indorsing the constructive prin- ciples of the league. Judson, who was seen on his return, said he regarded the occasion as an historic one. He stated the proposal of the league briefly as fol- lows: First, that before resorting t) arms, the members of the league shall submit disputes with one another, if jus- ticiable, to an international tgibunal; sec- ond, that all other disputes, as those over questions of national policies, they will likewise submit to international council of conciliation, which shall have power to recommend a fair solution; third, that if any member of the league Wages War against another member of the league. before such submission of such differences, all the other members shall jointly use forthwith both their economic and military forces against the state that so breaks the peace; and, fourth, that the signatory Powers, the members of the league, shall endeavor to qualify and improve the rules of in- ternational, law. Judson said that, in his opinion, this program was a constructive effort to in- augurate an international constitution- alisr: in place of the practical interna- tional anarchy which had heretofore '. prevailed in the history of the world; that it was in effect a declaration of interdependence. Local branches of the league, for fully ecquainting citizens with the principles of the league will be formed in each of the states of the Union, and Messrs. ‘Judson and Werner have obligated themselves to organize the branch of the league for the State of Missouri. Dr. Richard Bartholdt was also present at the meeting. HOWARD NOT IN MOVEMENT FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF WILSON President of Business Men's League ; Saye He Must Be Neutral im Such Matters. Clarence H.

More 8 Suce e Inte rhatioual Business Strength in Time of Peace, Says the Former President. By THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Former President of the United States. Copyright, 1916, by Theodore Roosevelt. BELIEVE in universal service based upon uni- 1 training. I believe in this because I think it would be not only of incalculable benefit to the nation in the event of war, but of incalculable benefit to the individuals undergoing it, and therefore, to the nation as a whole as regards the work of peace. The military tent, where all sleep side by side, will rank next to the public school among the great agents of democratization. The civilian training camp move- ment is the best civic movement for Americanism which is now actively manifest. Our young men need discipline. There can be noth- ing better for them than such training. It would set them up physically. It would give them a knowledge of sanitation, of cleanliness. They would learn regu- larity of habits, abstinence, obedience, self-respect and respect for others. They would learn to handle and command men, and to get along with them. They would become infinitely more competent for the daily tasks of American life. I have not hesitated, and do not now hesitate, to condemn Germany where Ger- many’s actions have been wrong, but it is folly to blink the fact that in many respects Germany fur- nishes us an example we shall do well to heed, for she secures her people good government, orderly govern- ment, and substantial economic justice combined with high industrial efficiency. Our national government in return for universal service should take an interest in the health and vigor of its citizens. Such conditions as the lack even of statistics on births, deaths and health in two-thirds of the States would thereby immediately become impos- sible. The Government should as a matter of course see to it that children are born and reared under con- ditions that make for health and a full development af bodily strength. National supervision and national aid for education would supplement the present un- equal—and in some States haphazard—local effort. The boy who is educated in the one-room prairie school may tomorrow be the business man of New York, or the engineer guiding our trains across the Rockies. Every American, no matter where he lives, is interested in that boy’s education. The American nation of tomorrow rests in the children of today. If universal military service makes us realize that each of us is interested in procuring for the children of this whole nation the right conditions of life and proper education, it will have paid all that it costs many times over. Organization for War Would Also Be Effective for Trade NDER a program of all around prepared- ness our Government would enter a new re- lation to business. It would recognize that our corporations and business organizations can serve the nation in time of war, and serve the public ard give proper wages and proper treatment in al! mat- ters to the wage workers in time of peace, only if they are well organized and prosperous. While imposing the obligation for national service upon the corpora- tion, the Government would encourage business. The same organization that would make for national strength if we were in conflict with a foreign foe would give us the basis for a more successful inter. national business struggle in times of peace. Victory over the forces of nature, like success in business com- petition with foreign nations, presupposes the same kind of proper organization as is demanded by the preparedness movement. Hence, the Government should encourage business, build it up, understand its needs, endeavor to deal with it from the standpoint of experts instead of that of politicians. It would thereby aid business in accomplishing those things that lie beyond the power of the individual corpor- ation. In another respect the United States has entered a new era in its development. We are no longer mere- ly the market place to which foreign countries may export their capital and manufactured goods. Our own industries have developed to a point where they can take care of the home markets and supply foreign markets us well. The savings of our people are avail- able for foreign investment and the development of foreign countries. When the American business man or banker travels abroad in pursuit of his legitimate interests his citizenship should provide him with pro- tection. If a great American concern can plan the damming of a river in Mexico and supply the elec trical machinery that will convert current into light and power, a real service is rendered to the Mexican 4 ticles Col. Roosevelt has written expreas- ly for the Post-Dispatch on related Sub- jects. The first, on -‘‘Nationalizing the United States’’ was printed last Sunday. The third, on “My Experience With Our Army and Navy,” 5 l be printed next Thursday, June 1. The fourth, on “The Crisis in American Politica’ will be printed next Saturday, June 3. ** is the serond of a series of four ur- * peons whose fields are irrigated and made profitable, to the Mexican city whose streets are being lighted and whose street cars are driven by cheaper power. On the other hand, the American workingman in the manufacturing plant thereby secures an opportunity for remunerative employment, and the American cap- italist or business man, to whose initiative such en. terprise is due, has rendered, if he deals justly, a dou- ble service and is deserving of, and should have, the protection of our flag. The nations that have counted in the world are those who have built up respect for their citizens abroad. St. Paul called out in the courts of Asia Minor: ‘‘Civis Romanus Sum.’’ In Mexico and throughout the large part of South America the appeal of an American, IJ am a citizen of the United States!’’ would be met with cries of scorn and de- rision. This condition is due to the ignoble failure of our administration at Washington during the last years to live up to its elemental duty toward its citizens abroad. Absence of Strong National T Sense Makes Congress Inefficient HE absence of a strong sense of nationalism among the legislators at Washington is one of the deep causes of the inefficiency of our Government. The most ominous sign of eur times is the evidence in Congress that personal politics, and especially pure considerations of vote-getting, are in- fluencing the most important legislation. The Con- gressman who attempts to demand a postoffice, an army barracks or a navy yard to be located in his district, out of the place where it would do most good ‘for the nation, is committing a crime that endangers his country’s very existence. Advantage to himself in votes advantage to his constituents in the shape of ‘‘nork-barrel graft’’ from the publie treasury—make him yield to the temptation to betray the national As our sense of nationalism grows we will feel this more and more keenly. If properly organized, our Government would survey all the national re- sources and all the funds derived from them which the nation has to spend during the particular year and apportion these funds by the aid of a scientific budget plan, to those needs that are most pressing and to those projects that would accomplish the great- est good from the viewpoint of the nation as a whole. The great historical efforts at nation-building have always culminated in a unified code of laws which were the expression of the new national conscious- ness. In national matters we must substitute for the forty-eight conflicting sets of laws a uniform code of nation-wide application. Our present conflict of laws brings all law into contempt. Serious as such con- flicts of laws regarding moral questions are, it is worse in’relation to business. The people of a State that regulates child labor, hours of toil and the pro- tection of women workers, have to compete against another State where child labor is unrestricted and where the hours of toil are unregulated.- Business concerns that cover the nation must have numerous bodies of lawyers and clerks to deal with the local laws and regulations in the various States. If these differences were wiped out there would be such a re- lease of energy as is undreamed of at present. Amer- ica would go forward by leaps and bounds as Germany did after her complete unification. Shirking Behind the Phrases of the Rhetorician and the Pacifist I believe that America has a great part to play in the world. I believe that the strengthening of the nationalism of the United States will have definite meaning for humanity. I believe that the vision of democracy and of human freedom, which took form in the American Declaration of Independence, and which was built into this nation by the blood and the self-sacrifice and the cool, far-sighted judgment of our forefathers has a meaning in the world. The United trust. States should become a world influence because it has something to give to all nations. Let us not shirk our duty behind the phrases of the rhetorician and the pacifist, but play our parts resolutely like strong men, who hold the national duty above all else. ) 7 WILSON’S SPEECH MAY LEAD 10 “General PEACE, SAYS VATICAN ORGAN Principles May Serve as Pays His KAISER RIDES ON CROWDED STREET CAR FOR FIRST TIME Fare as Other Passengers —Storm Damage in Arkansas, 3 REPORTED DEAD, 53 HURT IN TORNADO NEAR MEMPHIS Wind Blows Trees on Houses in City Foundation for Solution of Struggle,” It Declares. ROME, May 3.—Osservatore Romano, a Vatican organ, in a long article prais- ing President Wilson’s peace speech, says that the President has given a clear manifestation of his intention to pass from the ideal to the practical field. “The authoritative head of the big American confederation,’’ says the pa- per, “has clearly set forth some gen- eral principles which may serve as a foundation for the solution of the pres- ent struggle and also prevent its re- newal.”’ After saying that the Pope. since the beginning of the war, has done every- thing in his power to shorten the con- flict, the article continues “The Presidents words cannot fall to rejoice every soul loving justice and fra- ternity among the people and every sin- cere friend of civilization.’’ Last yeur the Post-Dispatch printed 43,724 Male Help Wanted Ads, just 11,02 on When Going to Shipyards at lbing.

The Emperor, with a small suite, arrived here in the morn- ing unheralded to visit the Schichau shipbuilding yards. He walked to a car of the bob-tail variety and asked the motorman whether the car ran to the Schichau yards. Reeeiving an affirma- tive answer he called out: An right, gentlemen; jump on. The Emperor and the members of his suite each dropped a groschen in the box, and when the trip ended the m- peror thanked the motorman for his firet experience in riding on a street ear, emphasizing his thanks with a 10-mark piece ($2.50).

MEMPHIS; Tenn., May 30.—Three persons are reported to have been killed, 63 injured and property. worth thousands of dollare destroyed early this morning, when a tornado passed over a wide stretch of territory about | Memphis. Much damage resulted in Memphis. Virtually every electric sign in the city was wrecked and zany homes were damages by falling trees. The big towboat, J. B. Finley, which had tied up opposite Memphis for the night, was torn from her moor- ings blown across the river and left high on a sandbar. Her tow of 1% beats, loaded with coal, were floated dcwn the river and sank. The storm started at 1:30 o'clock here and lasted 20 minutes.

Roosevelt will be driven from Union Station to the Planters Hotel, the route being north on Twentieth street Chestnut street, and east on Chestnu* to the Planters Hotel. Those who breakfast with Col. Roose- velt at the Planters will pay $1.50 a plate. The committee extended an in- vitation to the public to purchase tick- ets for the breakfast. Reynolds said that 20 breakfast tickets had been sold up to this morning, and that it was ex- pected that other acceptances would be received in later mails. A committee of St. Louisans will sit at the guest's table with the Colonel. John S. Leahy will introduce him. After breakfast Col. Roosevelt will rest for a while in the bridal suite on the second floor of the Planters. About 10:30 a. m. he will hold a public recep- tion on that floor. Caulfielg to Preside.

Immediately after his Mercantile Club speech tne fermer President will be driven to the City Club, where he will make his princtpal address of the day. Paul V. Bunn will preside at this meet- ing. Roosevelt’s last speech before the City Club was on March 28, 1912, and on that day he also spoke at the Merchants’ Exchange and at the Coliseum. Reynolds saiu that a second public re- cepiion. in the afternoon, at the V’lanters Flotel, would be held if there was a de- mand for it. He thought it likely that a number f Roosevelt's friends would wish to confer with him during the after- noon. Park Address Canceled. It had been announced last week that the Colorel would go in the afternoon te the Browns-Cleveland baseball game at Sportsman's Park and speak before public school pupils and teachers assem- bled there, but this arrangement has veen canceled.

BELL LISTENED IN WHEN DAUGHTER HIRED ORGANISI Testifies He Heard Galloway Agree to Play for Girl’s Wedding for $25. When Miss Majorie Peper Bell, now Mrs. R. E. Hinrichs, made a verbal con- tract with Charles Galloway, organist, of 3459 Halliday avenue to play at her wedding. her father, Nicholas M. Bell, wealthy tobacco manufacturer and for- mer Democratic national committeeman, „listened in! on an extension telephone, according to testimony given yesterday before Justice of the Peace Slater in Galloway's suit for $50. The wedding was the night of June 5 last, in St. Peter's Episcopal Church. Bell and his daughter both testified as to the use of the extension telephone in the Bell residence and both said Galloway had agreed to take $25 for his services as organist. Galloway’s ver- sion was that no fixed sum was named and that he had a right to make his own price. Bell, while on the stand, became excited and emphatically declared tha? Galloway had not told the truth. At the close of the case Justice Slater took charge of the letters and state- ments that had passed between Gallo- way and Mrs. Hinrichs, including a $25 check which was tendered in payment and refused by Galloway, and an nounced that his decision would be re- served until he should have time to thor- oughly examine the correspondence. Mrs. Hinrichs, who was 18 years old when she was married, testified. She was dressed in brown silk and wore a large hat. and white summer furs and made a striking appearance. She test!- fied in a direct manner. „Mr. Phillips, the rector of St. Peter's Church,“ she sald, called me up about three weeks before the wedding and asked me who I would have to play. I told him I didn't know and he asked me to have Mr. Galloway. I said all right and then he said he would have Mr. Galloway call me. Papa and I were in the dining room when the telephone rang. The mald said it was Mr. Gallo- way, so before I answered I gave papa time to get upstairs to the extension phone. “T arranged with Mr. Galloway that he should attend a wedding rehearsal at the church, and play before and dur. ing, the ceremony. Then I asked him what his charge would be. Why. Miss Bell,’ he said, ‘there is no fixed charge for such service. Somie- times the people give me $5 or $10, but when it is a large church wedding they usually give me $23." 1 told him all right, I would give him that and he said it was perfectly satisfactory. And papa heard every word of ft.” Father Corroborates Statement. Bell, on the stand. in emphatically cor- roborating his daughter's statement, said it had been his rule since his wife died four years before never to allow his daughter to make an agreemen! to pay our money unless he heard the cor er- sation. She was a child. he said, and his purpose was to keep her from being im- posed upon. “He did agree that $25 would be satis- factory. Bell said, leaning forward in the witness chair and clenching his fists. “And when he swore he Made no agreement he swore a lie.“ Turning toward the — 1% on- tinued: That man Galloway knows io made such an agreement, and if he doesn’t know it he is a fit subject for a lunatic asylum.” Justice Slater inter- posed and asked Bell to confine his re- marks to the case, Galloway's attorney, V. H. Falken hainer, caled other musicians to tes- tify as to the reasonableness of Gal- ways charge. Ernest R. Kreeger and Rodney Saylor, organists, said they thought it very fair. Galloway said the rehearsal and the wedding required hie services two nights and that at the rehearsal he INNES ON TRIAL FOR LARCENY IK THE NELMS CASE Judge Rules Out Testimony Touching on Murder of the Two Sisters. ATLANTA, Ga., May 3%.—Victor K. In- nes, Oregon lawyer, was placed on trial here yesterday on a charge of larceny after trust of $4000 from Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis. Mrs. Dennis and her sis- ser, Miss Beaarice Nelms, mysteriously disappeared two years ago and Innes was tried and acquitted of their murder at his trial in Texas. At the trial here Solicitor-General Dor- sey tried to introduce the murder, evi- dence and had in court the sausage chopper in which it was alleged Innes ground up the bones of the women after destroying the bodies in lye. . Reference to the murder charge brought a vigorous objection from the defense, which Judge Hill sustained, but the Court maed a significatn remark. At- torney Hines, for the defense,’ declared the State was trying to prepudice the judy. “The State must first lay its founda- tion.“ said Judge Hill. “It must firat show that Innes fraudulently diverted the money in question from its proper use. When that is established the Court will be inclined to admit evidence as to the alleged murder.“ The dramatic moment arrived when Solicitor Dorsey put upon the witness stand B. W. Mitchell. a cousin of the Nelms women, who formerly lived in Portland, Ore., and was there when the Inneses were arrested on the Texas war- rant charging murder. Mitchell be- Zan to tell about the arrest of Innes on the Texas Warrant when Attorney Hines objected, saying. The defendant is not on trial for murder.“ Pointing to the sausage grinder as it lay on the stenographer's desk in the courtroom, Solicitor Dorsey said: “The State intends to prove that. the bones of these girls were ground up in that thing; that Innes had two of them purchased in San Antonio and one of them, greasy with the bones, was. put in a box and shipped to Portland, where it was sent around to different ad- dresses Judge Hitl, however. ruled out the murder evidence for the present. Mrs. John W. Nelms, mother of the missing women, then testified that Eclis Nelms Dennis became infatu- ated with Innes when the latter acted as attorney in procuring her a divorce in Reno, Nev. She swore Innes had ob- tained large sums from Eloise. Mrs. Nelms was greatly excited and referred to Innes as that demon, until Judge Hill forced her to desist. Court ad- journed with Mrs. Nelms on the stand.

“TRENCH RAIDS. all IN FIERCE ee) ~ J 3 1 — 3 7 7 et — PERSONAL BATTLES Clubs Best Weapons in This Kind of Warfare Started by English. MEN KICKED TO DEATH sometimes 50, Sometimes Hun- dreds Make Dash Across No Man's Land.“ Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 15.—Between the Brit- ish and German modern machine war- fare whcrein every man was supposed to have become a pawn without in- tiative of his own has been develop- ing perhaps the deadliest form of sport imagination can where every combatant cunning, his strength in those of his adversary. places convelve— his and his skill hand-to-hang fighting against Hardly a day passes that there is not a trench “raid’ by one side or the other, and sometimes several allles. No subject is so carefully such watched in its détails by the censor as these raids. Commanders do not want to let the enemy know why their raids succeed or fail or why tue fail. Invention secrecy fight enemy's suceed or fights invention; secrecy. All the elements of boxing, wres- tling, fencing and mob tactics plus the stealth of the Indian who crept up on a camp on the plains and the teamwork of a professional baseball nine are valuable to the player. Rifles Least Necessary. The weapon that is least needed is a rifle. A club or a sandbag or an Indian battle ax, or spiked club is better. A good slugger without any Weapon may take an loaded rifle away from him knock him down and then kick him to death. adversary’s and The monotony of trench existence these days is broken by preparing for raids and against them. Battalion com- manders work out schemes of strategy which would have won them fame in smaller wars. Fifty men or a thousand may be angaged in a raid. ’ It may be on a front of 50 yards or a thousand. Its object is to take as many Prisoners and kill and wound as manv of the enemy as possible in a few min- utes; and then to get back to their own trench. The assaulters try to hold on to the piece of trench they have taken, the guns are turned on them, the bomb- ers close up on either side, and machine guns and rifles are prepared to sweep the zone of retirement. An uncanny curiosity gives the soldiers incentive for the raids. Ordinarily they never see their enemy hidden in his burrows across No Man's Land” from their own burrows. Unseen bullets from unseen snipers crack overhead. Unseen guns suddenly concentrate in a deluge of shells. For months this sort of thing goes on and the trenches of the adversaries re- main always in the same place; the grim monotony of casualties and watch- ing continues. Desire for Raids. This arouses the desire to ‘‘get at“ the enemy which the trench raid satisfies. It means springing over the parapet ani rushing across No Man's Land” into the very houses of the enemy and man to man on his door step proving whica is a better fighter. To go over the parapet ordinarily means death. In order to make any such rush there must be interference, as they say in football, and the barbwire in front of the enemy’s trench must be cut. This is usually done by the guns, which become more and more deadly in their ability to turn accurate sprays of destruction on given points. They cover the rush and they cover the return of the raiders with their prisoners. But the guns are not all; there is al) kinds of organized trickery in order to enable a body of soldiers to get into the enemy's trenches for a few minutes of activity when the occupants throw themselves on their invaders at such close quarters that it is a question if even a revolver is now a practical weap- on. It cannot be thrown over a trav- erse and a bomb can. Running into a German around the corner of a traverse a blow may be better than a shot. Also Get Information. There have been trench raids where every man who went out was responsi- ble for a casualty or prisoner while the raiders own loss might not have been one in ten to the enemy’s. There are also failures. Success requires that every | detail should work out right. The Brit- ish inaugurated trench raiding which the Germans promptly adapted. Where its development will end no one dares ven- ture to say. One advantage of any raid ig that those who return are Hound to bring back some information of value to the intelligence corps. Officers in the trenches as well as of- ficers in other military units. usualiy wear steel corsets as a protection against spent bullets. “Score one for the breastplate,” said an officer who had been doubled over by a shell fragment which hit him in the abdomen. Instead of a flow of blood on his blouse ali that was visible through che rent in the cloth was an abrasicn on n steel surface. “But for your new corset you would have been dead by now,” the surgeon told hirn. ; : ves Home tw Kansas College. EUROPEAN CONFLICT IN 1909 Shows in Statement He Was Unwill- ing to Take Risk of Pressing Servia’s Claims Against Austria. LONDON, May 30.—The Foreign Of- fice issued a statement yesterday coun- tering the allegations of the German Chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, about the Bosnian crisis, which Sir Ed- ward Grey, the Foreign Secretary, in the House of Commons, characterized as a “first-class lle.“ The statement 18 chiefly of historic interest, but shows that Sir Edward Grey, writing to the British Ambassador at St. Petersburg on Feb. 27, 1909, declared that no terri- torial concessions could be obtained for Servia without successful war and that to risk for Servian territorial claims a war which might eventually involve the greater part of the continent of Europe, must be out of all proportions to the in- terests at stake. The statement adds: The records of the period leave the impression that war was avoided because both Russia and Great Britain were reluctant to press the Servian claims against Austria to the point of war, and had Germany tak- en a corresponding view in 1914, when the Austrian demands to Servia were pressed to the point of extinguishing Servian independence, war would have been averted then.“ THIEVES LOOT 2 HOSPITALS AND A MEDICAL COLLEGE Jawelry Valued at $363, $11 in Cash and Instruments Worth $50 Taken. Nurses and attendants at the Mayfield Sanitarium, 920 North Taylor avenue, and the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium, across the street, reported to the polis this morning that thieves ransacked their quarters yesterday and stole jew- elry valued at $363 and $11 in cash. At the Mayfield Sanitarium Miss Laura Wilson, a cook, lost jewelry val- ued at $110 and $10 in cash; Miss Blanche Perry, nurse, jewelry valued at $57, and Miss Eva Amphleett, nurse, jewelry val- ved at $16. Mrs. James L. Piper lost jewelry valued at $80 in the thefts at the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium, Miss Charity Laubender, nurse, jewelry val- ued at $75 and $1 in cash, and Miss Nora Frissel, nurse, jewelry valued at $2. Thieves entered the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, Jefferson avenue and Gamble street. and stole a gasoline torch and surgical instruments valued at $50. The laboratory of Fred Miller, a chemist, of 2622 North King’s highway, was entered and tools and metals val- ued at $100 were taken. WORKMAN KILLED AND TWO HURT WHEN TAR WAGON BLOWS UP in the Was Being Tested Street When Accident Occurred, charles Brenner, 40 years old, of 1618 North Nineteenth street, was killed yes- terday afternoon when a tar wagon tank was shattered by the force of the steam when it was being tested in front of the Aufrichtig Cooper and Sheet Iron Works, 220 Lombard street, where he was employed. Charles Aufrichtig of 3668 Lafayette avenue, manager of the iron works, probably will lose the sight of one eye as a result of the accident, and Raymond Showalter, 16, of 901 South Second street,. suffered internal injuries. The tank had been built to haul meited tar and was supposed to be of sufficient strength to withstand a pressure of 125 pounds. The pressure in use when the accident happened was only 80 pounds. according to employes of the iron works The force of the explosion hurled Brenner about 100 feet into au automo- bile. Showalter was thrown 20 feet. Small particles of iron penetrated Au- frichtig’s eye. TRAIN KILLS BELLEVILLE MAN Engineer Says Edward Eidman Was Asleep on Track.

HAIG REVIEWS low. | GREY WAS EAGER TO AVOID 0 MONTHS WORK UN BRITISH FRONT 60 Local Actions Attended by Repulses to Enemy With Heavy Losses, He Says. LONDON, May 3%.—Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, commander of the British forces in France and Belgium, in a dispatch covering the operations of the British army in that territory from Dec. 19 last, when he took over the command, until May 19, pays high praise to the French defense of Verdun and reviews in de- tail the actions in which the British have taken part. ‘ During this period,“ he says, the only offensive’ effort made by the en- emy. on a great scale was directed against our French allies near Verdun. The fighting in that area has been pro- longed and severe. The results have been worthy of the traditions of the French army and of great service to the cause of the allies. The efforts made by the enemy have caused him heavy losses both in men. and in prestige and he has made these sacrifices without gaining any advan- tage to counterbalance them. Relieveg French Troops. During this struggle my troops have been in readiness to co-operate as they might be needed, but the only assist- ance asked for by our allies was of an indirect nature, namely, the relief of the French troops on a portion of their defense front. This relief I was glad to be able to afford. Its execution on a considerable front, everywhere in close touch with the enemy, was a somewhat delicate operation, but it was carried out with complete success, thanks to the cordial co-operation and good will of all ranks concerned, and to the lack of enterprise shown by the enemy during the relief.“ While no action comparable with that at Verdun has been fought on the Brit- ish front, Gen. Haig says the British struggle has been continuous and that there have been many sharp local ac- tions. Their maintenance and repair of the trenches alone entailed constant and heavy work. He speaks of the continual activity of the artillery, infantry, air men and sappers and miners, and adds: Ever- present threats cause a more constant strain than any other form of warfare.” There were 60 local actions during the period under review, some .of which, says Gen. Halg, although individually insignificant in a war on such an im- mense scale, would have been consid- ered worthy of a separate dispatch un- der different conditions.“ The British commander makes special mention of raids, or cutting out par- tles, which have been made at least two or three times a week against the enemy lines. They consist, he says, of a brief attack, with some special object, on a section of the opposing trenches, and are usually carried out at night by a small body of men. The character of these operations, the preparation of the road through our own and the enemy’s wire, the crossing of open ground, the unseen penetration of the enemy’s trenches, Hand-to-hand fighting in the darkness, and the uncertainty as to the strength of the opposin~ force give pe- culiar scope to gallantry, dash and quickness of decision of the troops en- gaged and much skill and daring are frequently displayed in these operations. Germans Driven Back. “The initiative in these minor opera- tions has been taken and on the whole has been held by us, but the Germans recently have attempted bold and well- conceived raids against our lines, many of which have been driven back, al- though some succeeded in penetrating.”’ Gen. Haig mentions the arrival of the Anzaos and South Africans and addition- al Canadian forces in France and says that this made possible the taking over of a greater extent of front. He then tells of the improvement in the differ- ent branches of the army and in the health of the armies. He says: The sick rate has been consistently There has been no serious epidemic, and enteric fever, the bane of armies in the past, has almost entirely dis- appeared, owing to preventive measures energetically carried out.“ The dispatch closes with a tribute to Field Marshal Viscount French, who says Gen. Haig, starting the war with our small expeditionary force, faced an enemy far superior in numbers and fully prepared for this great campaign.’’ “During the long and anxious time needed for the improvisation of the com- paratively large force now serving in this country,.“ continues Gen. Haig, he overcame all difficulties and before lay- ing down his responsibilities, he had the satisfaction of seeing the balance of ad- vantage swing steadily in our favor. Those who served under him appreciate the greatness of his achievement.”’ 3 KILLED IN FALL OFF BLUFF Mother and Infant Dashed to Death in Tilinols. ELDORADO, III., May 30.—Mrs. Lee Siden, wife of a farmer living south of Equality, her 6-year-old son and an infant were dashed to death in a foot fall over a bluff Sunday, while the fam- ily was on an outing in the hills. The boy was playing near the edge of the ravine, when he slipped and started down the side. Mrs. Siden, who was standing near by with the infant tn her arms, made a leap forward in a des- perate effort to seize the boy, but tripped, and, with the baby in her arms, plunged 30 feet to the bottom. All three were almost instantly killed. Boy, THOMAS an oe pa RF . ; N ie 7 ; — B. RODGERS DIES AT 81 Was Former Circuft Clerk and Cten 5 War Veteran. Thomas B.

The probability is not strong that Ger- many will accept the British terms.

The work of cleaning and arranging the Coliseum for the Democratic nation- al convention June 14 will be begun un- der the direction of the Arrangements Committee of the Democratic National Committee Saturday night immediately after the adjournment of the millers’ convention, which is holding its sessions in the building this week. J. Bruce Kremer, secretary of the Na- tional Committee, said after a confer- ence with Edward F. Goltra, committee- man from Missouri, that by working double shifts in preparing the Coliseum for the convention the work will have been completed by June 12, when the National Committee meets in St. Louis, and two days before the conventioc opens. The Democratic convention will be the first political convention to be held in the Coliseum. The first pub- lic meeting in this building was in the presidential campaign of 1908 when William H. Taft, Republican nominee, spoke there. At that time the Coliseum was not completed. Fif- teen thousand persons crowded into the structure for this opening. The Coliseum was built in 1907- 1908 at a cost of $336,000. As arranged for the convention it will seat ap- proximately 10,000 persons. This seat- ing capacity is obtained as follows: On the platform are 612 seats. In the section for daily newspaper cor- respondents and press associations are 472 seats. Sections set apart for the editors of Democratic weekly papers in Missouri and Illinois will accommodate 238 more persons. Seats will be provided for 1078 dele- gates and the same number of alter- nates, though there may be some slight change in these figures in case some states send extra delegates with a frac- tional vote. In the boxes are seating accommoda- tions for 546, in the arena balcony 2494 and in the balcony 3400. Will Seat 10,000. This mien a total of 9618. Extra seats placed wherever possible throughout the building bring the total seating capacity to about 10,000. The building is so designed that there is room on the arena ‘loor only for the delegates, alternates and the daily and weekly newspaper men. The Coliseum is an octagon, consider- ably narrowed at one end by a diagonal side wall. The greatest length of the building is from north to south, and its narrowest dimension from east to. west has been railed off for the platform and press sections. The platform is 4 feet wide, and immediately back of the speakers’ stand and the tables for rises to the rear of the upper balcony. This extension contains seats for 512 persons. These seats were distributed by the National Committee, and the members of the committee and their im- mediate parties are to occupy most of them. Around the arena floor on three sides are the boxes, which are reserved for specially invited guests—party leaders of prominence, diplomats, etc. That part of the public which is not fortunate enough to have platform or box seats is to be accommodated in the arena balcony, which rises immediate- ly from the boxes, and in the balcony, which corresponds to the second gallery in most public halls. The total number of seats available for the public, therefore, is 5894, and the distribution of part of these is allotted to the St. Louis committee which raised the $100,000 convention fund. On the west side of the Coliseum, back of the speakers’ platform, are the work- rooms for te press associations and the telegraph companies. As this space, as originally planned, proved too narrow to accommodate the press associations, an eight-foot passageway through this sec- tion was abandoned, and by order of the Mayor an alley in the rear of the Coliseum was vacated and covered with an awning. This serves as a passage- way. A passageway under the platform leads from the press sections on thé arena floor to the work and telegraph rooms in a rear. ergenc ospital, On the 1 Side’ o the bullding—the Washington avenue side—will be a large emergency hospital; on the south side are the roome for the Democratic Na- tional Committee, and on the east—or Jefferson, avenue—side is the room for the sergeant-at-arms and the convention postoffice. The decorations of the Coliseum were designed by Edward C. Diliman of St. Louls. In order to obtain as much daylight as possible, the walls of the ‘Coliseum have been painted white. To get the full benefit of this reflection it was necessary to exclude decorations from the walls. The decorations, ac- cordingly, will be placed around the front of the baicony and boxes and on thé supporting columns that run around the building. Plaster relief medallions of Washing- ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson, each 4x3 feet, will be placed on the supporting columns clear around the building, and each medallion will be surrounded by American flag. The columns will be covered with bunting, and the boxes hung with the na tion colors . To improve the light reflection, 600 yards of white muslin will cover the ceiling. except for a strip dovu the center, which is to hang in the national colors. Altogether 90,000 yards of bunt- ing are to be used in the decoration of the convention hall and 6 to 70 will be draped with bunting and flags. The Western Union Telegraph Co. will have a cable of 100 wires into the Coliseum, and the Postal Tele- graph Co. more than 66. These wires do not include the leased wires of the press associations, but are for private and newspaper telegrams. Tbe assigned to the Coliseum during tellers and clerks a platform extension | au MEMORIAL FOR SUSAN k. BLOW Memorial services for Susan E. Biow, founder of the St. Louis public kinder- gartens, who died March , last, were held last night at Soldan High School. About 800 children, parents and teach- ers were present. The meeting was presided over by Miss Mary McCulloch, supervisor of public kindergartens, who was once a pupil under Miss Blow. An appreciation of Miss Blow's work for the St. Louis public schools was given by Ben Blew- ett, Superintendent of Instruction. convention sessions to preserve order and block activities by pickpockets. Private Telephone From Coliseum to the White House. A private telephone wire will be run from the St. Louis Coliseum and the Hotel Jefferson to the White House, during the Democratic rational con- vention. The wire will terminate in sound-proof boxes, and will have no switchboard connection, so that it will never be busy!“ when the President wishes to use it. Arrangements for this line have been made by Charles Boeschenstein of Edwardsville, National Committeeman for Illinois, with tele- phone officials. Forest Fire Burns 300 Acres. SANTA FE, N.

Stephen Bunte, who, with his brother, August, conducts a grocery store At Normandy, St. Louis Coun- ty, was robbed of $45 by two men, who held him up in the store as he was about to close last night. One robber held a revolver and the other went through his clothes, taking all of the day’s receipts. Bunte asked the men to divide with him, saving he could not afford to lose it all, as he had just started in business. One of the Men said they needed the money more than Bunte did. As the robbery was taking place, the telephone in the store was ring- ing, but Bunte was not permitted to answer. After the robbers left Bunte went to the telephone. The call was from someone who wanted to warn the storekeeper against two suspi- cious looking men who had been seen hanging about the store during the afternoon. Bunte said one of the rob- bers was about 25 years old and the other seemed 10 years older. Maurice ...sicilo Now Employed by > Film Co. Headed by a St. Louisan.

Carranza. He intimated that a communication had been under con- sideration, but offered no explana- tion as to why it has been withheld. Manuel Mendez, an attache of the Mexican Foreign Office, arrived in Washington yesterday. Prior to his arrival the State Department officials had been unofficially fotified that Mendez was a special messenger from Gen. Carranza and carried a note which would probably renew the sug- gestion that American troops be withdrawn from Mexico. Officials of the de facto Government in Wash- ington had also received the same in- formation, but Mendez on his arrival seid that he carried no note and was simply on a vacation. Texas Authorized to Increase Strength of Militia. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 30.—Au- thorization from the War Department was obtained yesterday to recruit ir. the Federal service to war strength. Recruiting agents will be sent to the towns where the various companies were organized and there the people will be given the first op- rortunity to enroll and bring each company up to 160 men. It is ex- pected the plan will add to the forces along the border approximately 1500 men. Only one squadron of cavalry and cne battery of artillery remained at the militia camp here today. The Third Regiment, the last of the mil- itia infantry, departed for stations Along the border in the Brownsville Gistrict. The cavalry will be sent for- ward this week. Reports from Gen. Pershing indi- cated no developments other than a centinued movement into the north ot Mexican troops. Most of the in- formation that has reached depart- ment headquarters relative to the massing of the de facto Government trvops in the north has been of a contradictary nature, but from the mass Gen. Funston and his staff have separated enough that apears reliable to indicate that at least 20,000 Mexi- cens have been concentrated in and about the city of Chihuahua. — er) PIANOS | RENTED 8 Per Month Your choice of good Makes, in all woods.

House Democrats Asked to Pass Co-- pensation Bill Before Convention.

They were reminded that workmen's compensation legislation promised 1 the last Democratic platform had re- mained unacted upon so far this session and suggested that the McGillicuddy bil) ought to be passed before the meeting of the convention at St. Louis. “The Democratic party,” says the fested by the labor associa- tion, “will not have kept faith with the people if it does not pass the Kern-Mc- Gillicuddy bill before going to new po- litical conventions.

NEW YORK, May 30.—The New York Herald today prints a news story under a Chicago date line which says that the bitter opposition of George W. Per- kins to the nomination of Justice Hughes for the presidency grows out of Perkins’ experience as a witness when Hughes conducted the famous insurance investigation of 1905 and 1906. The Her- ald’s story says in part: “Perkins, as a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. and vice president of the New York Life Insurance Co., was one of the leading witnesses before Justice Hughes. It is now stated that Perkins was so mercilessly arraigned by Justice Hughes that he felt a deep hatred for him, and has never forgotten it. „Perkins was a witness on three occa- sions. According to the statements made | activity in the presidential race, he was | greatly embarrassed and harmed in his, business affairs as a result of his eross- examination. “He and Justice Hughes had frequent clashes while Perkins was on the stand. The woes of all the men who were in- volved in the insurance scandals were laid at the door of Hughes, who, it is asserted, was ruthless in his expose of both low and high officials. “Perkins was one of the most import- ant men connected with the insurance corporation. He was closely allied with the leading Wall street interests. While he was testifying, he declined to produce books of the Morgan firm, and he was informed by Hughes that no excuses would be accepted and that he would have to produce the books as requested. This was done.“ MILITIA COMPANY HIS ‘TEST MAN’ Texas Guardsman Starts for Border Immediately After Marriage. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 30.—The first war bride’ of the Texas Nation- a Guard was married here last night to Corporal Walter Rimmer, Company L, Third Regiment, who promised to “love and cherish’’ and then stepped into the ranks to leave for service on the border. Mrs. Rimmer was Miss Margaret Fisher, daughter of Mrs. James Fisher of San Antonio.

NEW YORK, May 30.—The Actors’ Equity Association voted yesterday to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. About 2000 members of the organization will be admitted to the ranks of organized labor at the annual convention of the federation in Roches- ter, next November. With 1500 actors balloting, only one vote was recorded against affiliation. It was that of Otis Skinner. Francis Wilson, president of the as- sociation, declared that by the affilia- tion with organized labor, justice was assured to the members from the the- atrical managers, who would realize that they were dealing with a responsi- ble organization. “I’m going’ to run my business to suit myself,” said Lee Shubert. Other man- agers, it is believed, from their expres- sions, will not fight. EUROPEAN WAR IS IDIOTIC ALBERT BALLIN SAYS Nation Must Report for Economic Battle When Conflict Ends, Shipping Magnate Declares. HAMBURG, via London, May 30.— Altert Ballin, war manager of the German railroads and director of the Hamburg-American Steamship Co., characterized the war as the greatest, bloodiest and most idiotic war of all time, in an address delivered yester- day at a general meeting of the Woer- mann Shipping Co. Ballin declared that German ship- ping interests after the successful termination of this war must be pre- pared to conduct a new wur on the eccnomic battle ground against com- petitors “extraordinarily strengthened by war profits of fantastic height.” In conclusion Ballin thanked the Reichstag for the resolutions passed by it recognizing the importance of a speedy rebuilding o? Germany's mer- centile marine and requésting the as- sistance of the Government to that end. : . ST, JOSEPH COUNCIL CLOSES SALOONS FROM | TO 5 A, u.

SENATE PASSES RIVERS BILL PARK PRIZE PLAY, SLENDER COMEDY, ROSILY-REGEWED First - Night Presentation Kitty Comes In” Enjoyed by Big Audience. By CARLOS F. HURD. S° long as opening nights can be of made as enjoyable as last night was, the Park Theater’s annual play contest will be a thing to be high- ly encouraged. Kitty Comes In, Mrs. Leila Chopin Hattersley’s 1916 prize comedy, had i*s first presentation by the Park Players last night. It has a pretty little part for pretty little Elsie Hitz, and it cannot be said that it has very much else. But the audience was gaily appreciative, and there was a regular love feast of floral bestowals, in which the author got more roses and gladioli than an old- fashioned girl graduate. The play is based on a situation which strains the probabilities rather more than is customary in anything but mu- sical comedy or broad farce. Kitty is of marriageable age, but is so unac- quainted with the world's ways that she thinks nothing of thrusting herself, un- announced, into the bachelor quarters of a candidate for Governor, who is a friend of her uncle, and whom she has been told, in a general way, to look up if she should ever need hep of any sort. A reporter, calling at the candidate's apartment, sees Kitty there, and the candidate quite casually tells the re- porter he has just been married. Then he has to persuade Kitty to marry him that same evening. which she does, though not at all understanding the reason. He tells her she will have 6 tr-rust him, and she does so with alac- rity. After the ceremony, little Mrs. Wife- in-name-only is bundled off to a farm, where her husband makes an after- noon call, just often enough not to ap- pear indifferent. This marriage in haste is followed, not by repentance at leis- ure, but by falling in love in a hurry, and this is what the rest of the play is about. Some Elemental Politics. Of course there is a jealous rival, and equally of course, the part is played by Vessie Farrell, the Park's capable and auite convincing siren-vampire. There are also two political leaders, one a representative of the interests, who con- trols the capitalistic vote, and the other, Pat Dowling, who controls the labor vote. All the capitalists and all the la- boring men will vote as these two tell them to. How simple politics is, when one understands it! The candidate-hero starts out with the capitalist vote on his side, while his opponent, who does not appear on the stage, is understood to have the labor vote. It may be sagely surmised that there are more laboring men than thers are capitalists. Hence, when Kitty switches the existing arrangement and turns the labor vote to her husband, and the capitalist vote away from him, she makes things about as certain as if the official count were already over. How does she do this? Now, really, we mustn't tell all the story of this play. However, it may be said that the capi talist leader tries to start a flirtation with the candidate’s bride, and makes a remark which might be interpreted to mean that he will kiss her, if sufficiently encouraged. Her husband hears it, and casts him out with great fervor. “When saw you struggling in the arms ot tha: monster’’—— he exclaims later. He saw more than the audience did. Stanley James, as the monster,“ will have to be a little more ferocious, “Society” Part Overplayed. Miss Minnie Potter’s playing, in the role of the rival's mother, was a disap- pointment, in view of ber hitherto prov- had the hard choice between overplay- ing her part or having it appear com- monplace, and she overplayed it. The part of the hero, on the other hand, contains rather more than Mitchell Har- ris got out of it. As a curtain raiser a one-act play, made from a Richard Harding Davis “Van Bibber’” story, is given. Harris, as Van Bibber, was heavy and declama- tory in a part which calls for light and debonair treatment, while James and tiny June Mitchel (Harris’ daughter) appeared to better advantage. Even with this prelude, the performance was “Kitty Comes In” is the briefest sort of a happy-ending affair. - — n 12-Cotume r A 12-column advertisement of the Lin- dell Store, printed exclusively in the Post-Dispatch last Sunday, announcing the Lindell Store’s first anniversary sale to begin Monday, resulted yesterday in the largest crowd that has ever been fm that store, according to the manage- ment. When the doors opened at g a m. about 800 people were waiting to get in and at 9:60 the crowd was so great that the management had to call upon the Chief of Detectives for assistance in handling it. A feature of the day's selling, as an- nounced in the advertisement, was spe- cial bargains at certain hours. Special inducements in the way of low prices were offered in all departments and the day’s business was one of the largest in the history of the store, the management reported.

WASHINGTON, May 3.—The Senate yesterday passed the $43,000,000 rivers and harbors bill by a vote of 35 to 32, after three weeks of stubborn filibustering, led by Senator Kenyon on the Repub- lican side and Senator Husting on the Democratic side. Final efforts of the filibusters to recommit the measures were voted down by narrow margins in rapid succession. The Senate voted to limit to 260,000 cubic feet per minute the water to be drawn from Lake Michigan for the IIIi- nois River improvement. Fear had been expressed that the unlimited draft of water from the lake would lower the level and injure shipping. Senator Newlands’ amendment creating a river regulation committee, designed to eliminate the “pork barrel“ system, was first accepted by a rising vote, but later thrown out on a point of order raised by Senator Gallinger, the Repub- lican leader. Nine Democrats and 23 Republican Senators voted against the bill. They were: Democrats, Ashurst, Gore, Hol- lis, Husting, Newlands, Pomerene, Shaf- roth, ‘Taggart and Thompson. Repub- licans, Borah, Brady, Clark, Wyoming; Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Fall, Gal- linger, Harding, Jones, Kenyon, La Fol- lette, Lippitt, Lodge, Norris, Page, Smoot, Sutherland, Townsend, Wads- worth, Warren, Weeks and Works. MAN WINS SUFFRAGE PRIZE CHICAGO, May 30.—A man won the prize for the best slogan to be carried in the suffrage parade here on June 7, his offering being Give woman a man's chance.“ The originator of the slogan is Ramiro Maynes, a 28-year-old Span- iard, who is married to an American woman. A cap and gown division of the parade will be marshaled by Dean Marion Tal- bot of the University of Chicago. More han. 1000 alumnae and undergraduates will march. MISS ANGLIN SAYS UITY SHOULD KEEP UPEN AIR THEATER Star of “As You Like It’’ Calls Forest Park Scene Ideal. Fear that all would not hear the ines of “As You Like It“ was today the only worry of Margaret Anglin, noted actress, who will play the part of Rosalind, com- mencing next Monday. Miss Anglin arrived in St. Louis res- terday and immediately went to the bark. where she made some slight changes for the setting of the play. This morning, after breakfasting, she was hustled into an automobile and driven to the park, where she spent most of the day rehearsing and trying to devise means for improving the acoustic prop. erties about the open-air stage. J sincerely hope the play will prove entertaining to the people,“ she said to a Post-Dispatch reporter. Sdbakspeare is always entertaining.“ she continued, when heard, but a difficulty, I fear, will be makiny it so to a crowd of 10,000 persons in the open air. It is to try and improve acoustics that I am most concerned today. I hope our rehearsals will result in a mastery of this situa- tion. Likes Chosen Scene. “I am delighted with the scene se- lected for the play. It is exquisite, situated as it is in a natural amphi- theater. I am also much pleased with the coloring, the costumes and other ac- coutrement, especially the big Gothic chairs to be use and the music. “fl am so well pleased with it all, 1 think it would be a shame for the city not to establish a permanent theater on the spot tor the presentation of plays PAGES 11—18. | ana pageants. If a permanent stage singing. a permanent theater has been built for nths of FOUR wher were built there, then proper sounding boards could be irfstalled ta overcome its only difficuity.”’ “Now, mind, I'm not criticising this feature. It is an acknowledged: diffi- culty and it is the problem we have to work with today and which we hepe to remedy if possible. “I do hope the people will not expect a production rivaling the Pageant and Masque. You see, it cannot in any way rival a different form of entertainment. One cannot expect a sylvan comedy to vie with a production built on heroic proportions. We shall have to adopt some changes in the form of speech, but it will not de so marked az the methods of speech used in the Pageant. We will speak with measured utterance, but we will not speak too slowly. We find the higher tones, preferably the tenor tones, are best suited to carry. The softer or contralto tones do not carry so well. You know, modulation of the voice is nigligible without a sounding board. Wants More Singing.® “I am very much pleased with the work of the Pageant Choral Society. In fact, ‘ think there ought to be more If I were to make a sugges- tion I should say we ought to have more singing. I believe the play would ge better with it, but I guess the chorus thinks it has enough work already. Miss Anglin hopes that the experience of producing “As You Like It“ in St. Louis will prove the means of settling once and for all the best means of pre- senting an outdoor performance,. and will show how to make such a perform- ance as near perfect as it is possible to make it. She says Shakspeare’s plays lend themselves better to this form of pro- duction than any plays since those of the ancient Greeks. She recently played in Greek drama in Berkeley, Cal., where the production of drama out of doors. Bothe Personalty $62,250. .

E. J. Lackland, a mall collector, while making his rounds at Pine Lawn about 5: o'clock this morning, observed an an automobile ahead of him on the Natural Bridge road which was sig- zagging from one side of the road to the other. Finally it hit a telephone pole at the south side of the road, re- bounded and turned over at-least three times. Lackland saw four men thrown from the car in different directions. When he approached the men got up and ran. The automobile was identified as the property of A. J. Steel, 4133 Shaw av- enue. It was stolen from the garage behind his home some time after mid- night despite the fact that he had re- moved the spark plugs. The police found the automobile of William C. Shumate, 418 McPherson avenue, at Klemm and Lafayette ave- nues, a short distance from the Steele home. Shumate'’s car had. been stolen from in front of a theater at Delmar boulevard and King’s highway, and when the police found it the spark plugs and coil box were missing. It is believed the thieves used . Shumate’s spark plugs on Steele's engine. County officials have been asked to ald in the search for the men who were thrown from Steele's car.

I am a business man, a taxpayer and not di- rectly or indirectly connected with anyone tecah- ing in the public schools. But I owe them a t deal and 1 think the communication en- tiled “The Proposed School Survey,” signed “A Member of a School Patrons’ Association,” a gross insult and threat to a body of respectable ane highly respected public servants. : “We hold the balance of power. Let them take the cue.” Where does Mr. Patriines’ Alliance think nme is? And whom is he addressing? No wonder the teachers stand “intensely aloof” and will not cc-operate with such self-constituted bdesses. Any educated American with a particle ok self-respect would scorn such association. Teachérg are a picked body of educated people. They belong to a recognized profession. The car- penter does not tell the blacksmith how to make - horseshoes, nor the shoemaker the engineer how to run a locomotive. If they did they would be _ Speedily told in plain English to mind their own business. But any Tom, Dick or Harry telonging to a patrons’ alliance thinks he is qualified to tell a teacher how to teach. He says the teachers are asking favors, in- crease of salaries, etc., and they won't get them if they are not sufficiently humble. Let me tell him and his generous friends where St. Louis stands in the list of grammar school teachers’ salaries: Twelfth, in a row of 18 cities; two-thirds down the line. 1 Uke those phrases, “political walks and bal- ance of rower” They let in light, for they are the stock phrases of one-horse ward politicians— strollers oh political walks and raised in the kindérgarténs of patrons’ alliances. A8 for “looming changes” and “the cue,” what has Pa- ‘i trons’ Alltanes up its sleeve? To obtain political Control of the schools, is it uttering a manifesto to the teachers to get on the right side of the fence? AMERICAN.

Mr. Stifel, chairman of the Missouri’ Republican @elegation to the national convention, says of Mr. ‘Reosevelt: \ Missouri will stand for a eval Republican, a mem- ber of thé Republican party, and not a man, who, by his action, te wholly responsible for the present - Democratic administration, which action was ‘prompted by personal ambition regardless of the party or of the people of the United States. Does Mr. Stifel not know that more Republicans woted for Roosevelt than voted for Taft? Are all the Reputlicans who did not vote for Taft to be spurned by the chairman of the Missour! Republi- can delegation? Is no man to be recognized at the convention in Chicago as a Republican except the “stand pats?’ Ie it not true, if Mr. Roosevelt is responsible for the triumph of Democracy—that —— whom Mr. Stifel now calls loyal, were re- nsible for the steam-roller that was expected tt destroy the influence of Mr. Roosevelt? Does M. Stifel think for one moment that the Repub- 3 lican party can beat Mr. Wilson by ignoring Mr. 8 Reosevelt and his friends? If he does, he may be dure ‘that he will be disillusioned pretty soon Pose such an attempt is made to do so by the con- NM. B. WILKINS, Editor Clarion.

The New York Tribune's Washington corre- spondent says he has information from authentic sources that Justice Hughes will say nothing previous to the opening of the Chicago conven- tion. No one will be authorized by letter or word of mouth to speak for him. If the Republicans nominate Hughes they must ‘take him on character and record without direct knowledge of his opinions on the issues of today. What does he think of Wilson’s course in the submarine controversy with Germany? Does he indorse Wilson’s persistent and successful effort would he have resorted to war measures? Would he have intervened in Mexico and imposed our will on that nation? Does he condemn the acts of the Wilson administration—the reform of the tariff, the banking and currency act, the shipping law, the preparedness measures? Is he for ex- treme military preparation? Justice Hughes’ attitude on these foreign and domestic questions will be unknown until after his nomination. The fact that a host of Repub- licans are willing to accept a candidate, without information as to his views is striking evidence of the dearth of issues. If Col. Roosevelt is rejected at the Chicago convention the ignoring of issues will be em- phasized. The Colonel is the one opposition leader who has made an anti-Wilson campaign He is against Wilson at every point. He is candid about his opinions. In foreign affairs he says he would have protested the invasion of Bel- | gium at any risk of German hostility; he would have forced the issue of submarine warfare to the bitter end; he would have intervened in Mexico to restore law, order and government. In short, he -would have been a party to the quarrel with Germany and peremptorily have enforced his views of American rights on all nations regardless of consequences. There is good reason to believe that the Roose- velt policies would have put us into war in one if not both hemispheres. The Colonel wants preparedness on a large scale. Col. Roosevelt represents and leads the oppo- sition to Wilson. If Justice Hughes agrees with him Roosevelt will be the real leader of the cam- paign. If he does not, he will be unsatisfactory to the multitude of Republicans and Progres- sives who follow Roosevelt. In this event the Republicans will have to depend wholly upon Justice Hughes’ character and party against Wilson’s actual accomplishments. situation is full of interesting possibilities. a.

The interesting letter from a mother of five children, in Friday’s Post Dispatch, commending Mrs. Sanger’s advocacy of birth control, is rather an indictment of certain cowardly fathers than a statement of reasons why the birth rate should be reduced. In each of the cases she cites, the fault ap- pears to have been with the father of the family, who basely turned against or even deserted the wife and mother rather than do his duty to her and the state as a home provider and citizen. The cowardly husband is one of the hardest problems of society. For, as a rule, he does not hesitate to impose upon his wife the burden of motherhood. This is one of the reasons why many women believe that Mrs. Sanger's propa- ganda is justified. record The = = * we | > From wheat to biscuits, the millers have shown, it is only 15 minutes.

It takes an optimist as well as a painstaking searcher to find anything felicitous in the testi- mony of Dr. Waite, New York’s latest murderer. But it posseases one feature which may afford comfort to people who have a morbid fear of germs. It should tend to lessen the fear of germ- cranks to read that Dr. Waite fed his poor old father-in-law almost every known variety of sup- posedly deadly disease germs, but that the unfor- tunate old gentleman, instead of succumbing to them, rather thrived on them. It took quantities of chloroform to complete the murder. On the same day that the moral idiot“ was dlithely describing his revolting efforts with nox- lous microbes to a jury, numbers of strong men in the border militia were fainting with fear at the prospect of being inoculated with typhoid antitoxin. They were more in terror of one bacillus than of 10,000 armed Greasers. Let us hope they will read the Waite testimony and take heart. The Minnesota centenarian who is watching so tenderly for his boy of 60, down with measles, should head the procession on every Father's day. 1 STOGIES AND MONUMENTS. We perceive a monument to the stogle man unveiled at Wheeling, W. Va. The same betokens laudable appreciation of the man who put Wheeling on the map. True, he did not cause two blades of grass grow where but one grew before; greater benefactions there have been. But that the stogie manufacturer is undeserving of public gratitude generally.

Hill was the oné railroad man of first use- fulness given us by Canada in return for the many we have given her. In the early development of the country, marked by the building of short railroad links, Promoter, constructor, financier and operator were united in the same man. In an age of spe- cialization and separation of responsibilities, Mr. Hill continued to combine these functions in de- velopment on an enormous scale. He will always be remembered as the man who created without Government aid one of the greatest land transportation systems in the world during years when it was as tenaciously insisted that public subsidies were essential to railroad construction in sparsely settled areas as it is now insisted that they are essential to ocean lines. A Scotch-Irish thrift in money matters plus an unusual grasp of technical transportation prob- lems plus a special knowledge of the conditions and requirements of a new country explain his success. He had on his broad shoulders a level old head packed with common sense and a sound political economy. All railroads promote development. His rail- road became a developing factor in a special sense. He built lines into districts without any railroad business and then created business for them by policies elaborated as rulers or Legisla- tures might elaborate them—policies which have had many imitators. So he was called with some reason an empire builder. The territories of the old ordinance of 1787 comprised the “Northwest” when he began his career. He has made the “Northwest” a peri- patetic section and caused it to recede 2000 miles to the ocean and became known as its Providence. The last of the great figures of a distinctive railroad era was this old man who maintained the vigor of a picturesque personality to a great age. What America needs in the future is men who will do for ocean transpertation what Hill did for land transportation. CONVENTION PRICES IN ST. LOUIS. It is announced that the taxicabs of St. Louis will make a reduction of 25 per cent in their rates during the Democratic national convention. If this is true it will set a new record in the practice of public conveyances at times of un- usual gatherings. The invariable custom has been to charge all the traffic will bear and then some, and to conceal the legal rates to prevent victims from knowing the extent to which they are robbed. If even the taxicabs make special provision insuring moderate charges while the convention lasts, why should any other interest plan ex- tortionate charges? With moderate pricgs — prices lower rather than higher than usual as a concession to the city’s guests—St. Louis can cause an excellent impression. i The contrast with cities that practice on con- vention visitors a cold-blooded, thoroughly com- mercialized exploitation will be startling enough to make favoring comment universal. Fair treat- ment of our guests is a duty every citizen owes to St. Louis. PEDESTRIANS’ RIGHTS. An automobile drive tells his troubles to our unsympathetic ears—his troubles are with pe- destrians. His plea in a nutshell is that it is easier for pedestrians to keep out of the way of the automobile than for the automobile to avoid the pedestrians. The fundamental proposition by which issues between pedestrian and motorist must be set- tled is that the former has rights. Ordinary care is the most he is held to. The extraordinary care must be the motorist’s who is handling a deadly engine. “Fair play” is what the motorist appeals to us for—but- reckless motorists have enjoyed remark- able indulgence both from the law and the pub- lic who have constituted their victims. The won- der is that heedless drivers, speeders, joy riders and the criminally careless who have caused many deaths and injuries to those who have the right of way have “got off so light.“ The con- tinuous casualty list proves that more and more rigid regulation of motor driving is needed to safeguard public rights and the enjoyment of „ite and limb.” On the other hand, regulation of pedestrian traffic in the matter of street cars and watchfulness of vehicles are necessary to safety. (== * * THE FUND FOR THE BLIND. It is gratifying that after a long delay the appropriation of a similar amount for the bene- fit of our blind citizens is nearly raised. The State Commission in charge of the fund is so encouraged that it is prepared to work for a popular fund of $25,000, which, with the State’s appropriation, would make a total of $37,500, to be used to educate blind persons and enable them to become self-supporting. The unknown citizen who gave $10,000 to this fund will have the gratitude of those whom the fund will benefit and the esteem of all humane persons. But the least contribution is -worth while in This cause. Clarence Hawkes, a talented author, who was suddenly deprived of his sight in his early teens, has written a book, “Hitting the Dark Trail,” in which he tells how terrible is the deprivation of sight. “Sight,” he says, “is the sense through say which we gain ninetenths of our knowledge.” In the first days of his affliction, he says, he felt the world had suddenly slipped from his grasp; that he was in it but not of it. The book gives one a keen insight of what blindness means. It would be a great thing for St. Louis and Missouri if the total fund desired by the State Commission could be raised. Such a fund would make it possible for every blind person in Mis- souri to be put on the rad to becoming self- else to smoke must be accounted a vast if im-“ fund of $12,500 necessary to insure the State}, Ta Site ** e „w.

Notwithstanding the age in which the Indians built mounds was not the bronze age, we read that a bronze ax has been found in a mound over in Illinois, and are not in the best position to disprove it. The Indians made copper axes and hematite axes, the for- mer usually from drift copper brought down by the glaciers, and the latter from iron gophered chiefly in Missouri, but bronze was as unknown to them as radium was to the Phoenicians. However, a bronze ax more or less is not a matter by which we care to judge the authenticity of correspondence from a great news center like Poag, III.

UDGING by the fact that Hamlin Garland, Owen Wister, Emerson Hough, Stewart Edward White, Rex Beach and Harry Leon Wilson have all pledged themselves and their pens to the support of Col. Roosevelt, our Western fiction is not doing as well as it did and badly needs to have popular attention turned that part of the map. We suppose the idea to be that if the Colonel becomes President again he will dig up the gunman and have him on to the White House for dinner, resume bear hunting in the Rockies, and first restore his romantic affection, in a word, to his love. That is good for the business of Western fiction, and it certainly is not to suffer by patriotic comparison with running around everywhere the way the Colonel has been doing. Keeping him in ths White House keeps him in the copntry. Moral: Keep him in the White House. Some of these gentlemen haven’t had a best seller since he got out. Nowadays nothing sells but a few text books. In the Taft administration people bought law books.

BUSCH WANTS TO HELP RUMSEY CLOSE DISREPUTABLE SALOONS Brewer Promises to Withdraw Any Support His Company Has Given to Such Places. August A. Busch, president of the An- heuser-Busch Brewing Association, in a letter sent to Excise Commissioner Rumsey and made public today, asks the commissioner to co-operate with the brewery in eliminating “disreputable sa- loons.“ Busch suggests that Rumsey keep the brewery advised as to cases where a strict interpretation of the law will not justify the closing of a saloon against which a complaint has been made, but where at the same time the commission- er believes the saloon is not desirable. In such cases, Busch says, the brewery advised to do so by the Excise Com- missioner, will withdraw whatever sup- port it has been ‘giving to the saloon.

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.—New York’s winning streak, which had reached 17 straight, was broken by Phil- adelphia in the morning game today, when a pitchers’ duel between Perritt and Demaree was broken by the home team in the eighth inning, the score be- ing 5 to 1. Both Perritt and Demaree pitched in sensational style and were given perfeet support until the eighth in- ning. Then, after E. Burns singled, Perritt got a bunt by Demaree. Perritt fell as he threw the ball to second base. The ball went to center field and Dugey, who ran for Burns, reached third. The Phil- lies then worked the squeeze play, Ban- croft beating out a bunt and Dugey scor- ing. Niehof followed with a triple and Cravath with a home run, producing five runs. New York scored in the ninth inning, when Kauff, Who had forced out Doyle, sprinted home on Demaree’s wild throw to first. Score: G.

OTHER CLUBS BACKWARD Chicago and Detroit, Expected Contenders, Also Slow in Rounding to Form. Indians Have Played to 475,000 Fans So Far, Secretary Says ILLIAM R. BLACKWOOD, traveling secretary of the Cleveland club, is authority for the statement that the Indians have played to more than 475,000 paid ad- missions so far this season. He says the grand total is closer to 500,000 than to 475,000. After we have played two more games at home, that is Saturday and a Sunday game, we will have played to more people in Cleveland than we did all last season, Blackwood today. “We have played only 13 games at home, but in three of them the paid attendance went over 70,000. Mo played to 31,000 last Sunday in Chicago. We had 27,000 paid at a Saturday game in New York. In four games at Detroi we settled for over 62,000 paid admissions. All our crowds have been big and I be- lieve we're on our way to a rec- ord.”’ Blackwood is the same sort of a secretary that the Indians are a ball club. He's always up and do- ing. Oe By W. J. O’Connor. Boston’s 1915 record of cruising from last place on July 19 into Peu- nant Harbor on Oct. 4, is the only precedent in baseball history on which to build a defense for the Browns. Fielder Jones and his troopers are home today from their first road trip with an unenviable record of 13 de- feats in 22 games, a losing percentage of .409. The Browns are in last place, 11 games dehind- the leaders, and are opening this afternoon against the Indians, a long series at Sportsman's park. They will play 29 games here, meeting all their adversaries in the American League. Beginning with today’s double-header against the Cleveland upstarts they play the fol- lowing series: Cleveland 4, Phila- delphia 3, New York 4, Boston 5. Washington 4, Chicago 4, Detroit 4, making 29 in all. They will be here persistently until June 29. And in this long stand, the club’s fate will be sealed, All confidence in the Browns hasn't 41 been lost. Their position at the ottom of the pennant heap is no more a surprise than Cleveland's po- sition near, the top. Relatively, the Browns are not so much an upset as the Indians. One Line of Argument. But while the Browns are 11 games out of first place, they are only 3% games behind Chicago and only 2% games behind Detroit. Therefore they are only 3 games out of first place, because C go and Detroit are still considered the clubs that must be beaten by the next American League pennant winners! Get that? ashington, Cleveland and in some quarters, New York, still are consid- ered “morning glories.” The are expected to pads under the July sun and the heat of battle which hasn't yet developed. The poisonous gas of the real pennant N t which is only now beginning will put these false 2 to sleep, the rail birds con- end. It is because the Browns have some earmarks of a winner that interest in them hasn't totally waned. Today, thérefore, they will be the most at- tractive last-place club th St. Louis geen in many moons. The fans will flock out to see what's the matter.” Browns Must Brace Soon. But this is rather morbid curiosity and isn’t enduring. The Browns must imme- diately start to win or the fans will walk aon Sportsman’s Park as if it were a e. Cleveland has shown signs of faltering of late. Guy Morton and Frits Coumbe suffered their first defeats of the season in the last week. Manager Fohl today will rely on Stanley Coveleskie and Jim Bagby, while Jones will put the hurling assignment up to Dave Davenport in the first game and either Bob Groom or Jim Park in the final.

ODAY’S the day we decorate The graves of our defenders; While some of us will celebrate By watching our tail-enders.

Although our Brownies fel to win, We'll not turn up our noses; But on our heroés’ breasts we'll, pin A bunch of lovely roses. Our boys are due to take a brace And knock the records silly; So, in each Brownie’s hand we'll place A snow-white Easter ty. So, if you’re waking, mother, dear, Arouse me from my slumber; The Cleveland Indians will be here And we must get their number. We'll massacre those war-like braves With one stupendous rally, And then we'll decorate their graves With lites of the valley. = ot * No, You Can't.
