The com- mittee will be urged to report it so that a vote may be taken. To Go East Tomorrow. Mrs. Catt will depart for Washing- ton tomorrow and will be followed by other suffrage leaders. At the close of Congress the annual convention of the suffrage associa- tion will be called to determine what it will do in the November election. The convention usually is not held until November, but this year, be- cause of the general election, it will be held several months earlier. The telegram sent by Mrs. Catt to President Wilson follows: Inasmuch as Gov. Ferguson of Texas and Senator Walsh of Mon- tana made diametrically opposite statements in the Democratic con- vention with regard to your attitude toward the suffrage plank adopted by the convention, we apply to you directly to state your position on the plank and give your precise interpre- tation of its meaning. Plan to Push Amendment. Immediately after the adjournment of the convention yestérday Mrs. Catt called a special meeting of her na- tional board and later issued the fol- lowing official statement: “No suffragist who was present at the convention Friday could misinter- pret either ths speeches or the action taken by the Democratic Party in adopt- ing the alleged woman suffrage plank in its national platform. “The Democrats admitted freely ‘n their speeches that ‘political exigency’ demanded ‘some kind of a suffrage plank’ and they thought to hoodwink the women by a jumble of words that were designed to meet the situation, but in no sense succeeded. “The so-called suffrage plank which they adopted, after bursts of eloquence that were far more frank than intelli- gent, cannot be ‘expected to win the presidential campaign for them. But it may well be expected to win the an- tagonism of millions of men and wom- e voters in all parts of the country. „erf the plank adopted is the rresi- der.:’s choice, the world may justly ac- cuse him of descending to sche tricks of the cheapest politician in order to bid for votes by flaunting a plank that may re interpreted in as many ways as there are people.“ Give Democrats Another Chance. “We shall return to Washington as quickly as possible,“ Miss Ann Martin, chairman of the Woman’s party, said. “We are going to give the Democratic Congress one more chance to make good before adjournment. If it does not see fit to pass a constitutional amendment war will follow. “Some of the Democratic leaders pre- tend to see a declaration Wor national suffrage in the plank they have given us. 1 do not so interpret it. But we shall give congressional leaders every chance to read that interpretation fnto it, if they want to. I regard the Demo- cratic plank ‘weaker than the Repub- lican.

After the accident young Wegener left the scene without revea!- ing his identity. He was traced through the license number which had been ob- tained by witnesses. When Wegener Sr. told the police that he had authorized his son to drive the car he was arrested, but as the police were unable to find any law prohibiting an automobile owner from letting a juvenile drive a machine they released him.

YEARS TO GLOSE JULY 1 The St. James ‘Hotel, at Broadway and Walnut street, will be closed July 1 and its career of close to halt a cen- tury will de brought to an end. The fixtures and furnishings are to be sold. What disposition is to be made of the hotel building, which includes the Olym- pic Theater, is not known in St. Louis. The building is owned by Charles A. Spalding of Seugerties, N. Y. He has not made known his plans. His in- structions to N. D. Laughlin, manager of the hotel, are to lock the doors when the contents have been disposed of. The Klaw & Erlanger lease of the Olympic expires Sept. 1. It will not be renewed and there is no prospect of any other arrangement being made for the use of the theater. The closing of the theater and hotel will mark the practical passing of the section as a theater and hotel district which was its dominant characteristic for many years. ‘The closing of the Southern Hotel was the first big step toward the surrender of the section to the westward tendency of the life which formerly centered there. After the clos- ing of the St. James and the Olympic only Faust's will remain to remind of glories that have been. The St. James is a five-story structure with 140 rooms. In former years it was patronized largely by theatrical people and by members of railroad organiza- tions. It has been under the present management for about 15 years. The Olympic Theater was érected upon the circus ground formerly run by Levy J. North, about 1860. In 1866 it was remodeled with a seating ca- pacity of 2200 and was then owned by Spaulding and John Albaugh, who later removed to Washington, D. C. In 1867. Spalding took control and ran the Olympic with firset-claes vaudevilie and the dest minstrel shows. On Sept. 1. 1869, the policy of the theater was changed, the strictly legitimate drama holding sway until only a few. years ago. Free Band Concert Tonight.

Reply to Carranza Delayed. Secretary Lansing said today the pol- icy of the United States was un- changed. He added that the State ~e- partment’s reply to Gen. Carranza's belligerent note demanding the with- drawal of the American forces prob- ably would not go forward today. It is being held up for possible additions covering the San Ignacio fight, and also authentic information as to Gen. Trevino’s reported ultimatum. There were no indications at the de- partment that steps were being taken to strengthen the border forces with additional national guardsmen. While percautionary steps toward mobilizing the State troops were taken some time ago, no new orders to that end have gone out recently. It was noted here that American troops crossed into Mexico yesterday near San Ignacio, Tex., without being attacked. In fact, Maj. wray, com- manding the two troops which searched the south bank of the Rio Grande for some distance in search of bandits, re- ported he had received offers of co- operation from the Carranza command- ers in the vicinity. Diplomatic officials were inclined to believe that if Gen. Trevino did, in fact, serve a warnng, it was done for home consumption rather than as a prelude tu be a political move by Gen. Carranza, designed to offset the activities of the anti-American element in Mexico with- out actually forcing hostilities. The American note is said to contain no statement that should arouse hostil!- ity unless Gen. Carranza is deliberately set upon bringing on a clash with the United States. Warm language ig em- ployed in refuting the charges and in- sinuations of bad faith contained in the Carranza communication.

Sufficient emphasis will be placed on the growirg impatience of this Government, however. make it plain that if warfare finally ap pears a duty it will not be shirked. As to withdrawal of the American ex- pedition, the note coincides with the platform declaration by which the party pledged itself to maintain armed forces in the borderland of Mexico until there remains no probability of bandit raids on American towns and ranches.

Sen. Jacinte Trevino, commanding the Carranzista army of the north, yester- day advised Gen. Pershing that any movement of American troops from their present lines to the south, east 4 west would be considered a hostile dme ana a signal to commence warfare. Gen. Trevino acted upon specific in- structions from Gen. Carranza. Gen. Trevino announced that he had received acknowledgment from Gen. Pershing of the recent order nullity- ing any agreement made with Gen. Ga- - ‘briel Gavira. Anti-American feeling here, which had died doen materially, was provoked again by exaggefated reports of a re- ‘cent fracas between American soldiers and natives in a saloon in Casas Gran- des, in which a Mexican policeman was wounded.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 17.—Gen, Trevino's warning that the crossing of ovis the international boundary by any American troops for any cause what- ever, would be regarded as an overt act by the United States and would be the cause for an attack by the de facto Government troops, did not disturb Gen, Funston or his staff. The search for bandits will continue, and whenever a not trail“ is found leading into Mex- ice the Americans will not hesitate to follow it.

U. 8. Troops Reported to Be on Trail of San Benito Bandits. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., June 17.—It Was reported to army headquarters here today that a troop of the Third Cavalry under Lieut. A. D. Newmans, had struck a “hot trail’ of Mexican bandits north of Brownsville. These bandits were supposed to have been the same who attacked United States sol- diers near San Benito last night. Reports that three bandits were killed in a fight with American troops 10 miles east of San Benito last night were un- true, according to reports received here today. The Americans, however, be- lieve they wounded several of the band. Details of the fight received here say United States Infantry were fired on from the brush by the bandits, who are said to have numbered 25 or 30. The soldiers dropped to the ground and re- turned the fire, although they were un- able to see the attackers. The Mexicans are said to have fired over the heads of the American troops. After the first few volleys the Ameri- cans rushed the bandits, who scattered in the brush and escaped. A few blood spots on the ground were taken by the Americans to prove that some of their bullets had hit their mark. A pack mule carrying sufficient am- munition for about 40 Mauser rifles was corralled as it blundered through the brush, The fight followed the kidnaping by bandits during the afternoon of a Mex- ican farmer named Lugar. Lugar's nephew, who was with him at the time, escaped and gave the alarm.

Major, who failed to even get a mention of his name before the Demo- cratic national convention in his cam- paign for the nomination for Vice Presi- dent, and who will not have an oppor- tunity again to hecome a candidate for any State or national office Before 1920, is expected to move to St. Louis when he retires from the governorship Jan. 1, and open a law office. Several months ago fiiends of the Governor said that if he faikd to get the nomination for Vice Presilent, the Governor and Charles G. Revelle, whom Major appointed to the Missouri Su- preme Court to fill a term expiring Jan. 1, would form a law partnership in St. Louis. Gov. Major was not in his box in the Coliseum yesterday, though he was pres- ent at all sessions of the convention until Thursday night, when Vice Presi- dent Marshall was renominated., U. S.

SHE TALKED OF ORPET Had Heard He Was Engaged to Another Girl, Her Chum Declares. WAUKEGAN, III., June 17.—The State today brought a bevy of 18-year-old girls to court to impeach the testimony of Josephine Davis in the trial of Wi- liam H. Orpet for the alleged murder of Marion Lambert. There were 18 of these girls who attended Marion's eighteenth birthday party on Feb. 6, three days be- fore her death. Bernice Wells, the first to take the stand, testified that Marion seemed happy at the party and that she did not see her cry, as Miss Davis testified she did. “So far as you know, were Jose- phine and Marion alone at any time during the party?” asked State’s At- torney Ralph J. Dady. “Not that I know of.” On cross-examination by Attorney Ralph F. Potter, he asked: “Did Marion always appear gay— gayer than others—as if she were trying to hide her troubles behind a mask of gaiety?’’ I wouldn't say thet—she just seemed happy.“ Two Remained With Her. Florence Russell, the next witness, testified she and two friends spent the night of the party with Marion. Anna Paulson, who always had done so, was unabje to stay. “Did you see Josephine Davis take Marion aside into a room?” asked Dady. “No, sir.” Were you on intimate terms with Marion?’ asked Attorney Potter on cross-examination. Not particularly; just like others. " “Did Marion ever tell you of intimacy with any boy?“ „No, sir.“ „Did you and Marion talk of Orpet after the party!“ ‘Yes, Marion said she had heard that Orpet was engaged.“ es, Marion said she had heard Or- pet was engaged to Celestia Youker. She said Josephine had written Orpét about it, but had received no reply. Marion didn’t know what to think of the report.” : The witness said she and Marion went to bed about 11 p. m. and talked until 12:30, largely about Orpet, but she rec- ollected little about it. „Did she say anything about Orpet’s character, hig temperament?’ inter- rupted Dady. “She said Will had a bad temper and that Mrs. Lambert had forbidden him to come to the house.“ answered Miss Russell. “Did she say anything else to indi- cate that it was a clandestine affair?“ resumed Mr. Potter. „No.“ “You have recollected? quite a few things since you said there was noth- ing more, Miss Rusgell. Do you recall anything more?’’ Chum Liked Orpet. The girl's voice had grown steadily weaker and the ‘‘No’’ which she re- turned was almost inaudible. Then from the depth of her memory she brought this, which set those who heard to buzzing: “Marion said that Joe Davis liked Orpet; that’s why she was always com- ing to see her (Marion).“ Marion, the witness said, confided that she rather enjoyed seeing Orpet angry. Once “to spite him“ she walked home from Sunday school with her teacher. She said she knew that Will would come around,“ said the wit- ness. Colontal Laundry Employes to Have Outing. , The employes of the Colonial Laundry Co. will give their annual basket picnic at Fern Glen, Sunday.

After having been vetoed by Mayor Kiel, a bill for the muzzling of dogs failed of second passage by the Boar! of Aldermen because it was pointed ou that the measure required that before unmustled dogs could be taken by dog- catchers the police were to be notified. Health Commissioner Starkloff called this provision a joker“ and requested Mayor Kiel to veto it. If the police had first to be notified of the attacks of vi- cious or rabid dogs before they could hc caught, the Health Commissioner said, the danger of hydrophobia would be greatly increased.

ONLY ONE ROLLCALL HELD Suffrage Caused the Sole Lineup, Other Decisions Being Made by Acclamation. Delegates and visitors to the Demo- cratic national convention, which ad- journed sine die at 3:11 p. m. yesterday. after the adoptlon of the party platform. are departing today on all trains for their homes. Some of the delegates and visitors got away last night, but many remained over for another day in St. Louis, where they have been so delight- fully and generously entertained. But for the fight on the woman’s suf- frage plank, which developed over 4 minority report submitted by Gov. James E. Ferguson of Texas, would not have been a rolicall in the entire convention, as the nomination of President fison and Vice President Marshall had been made by actiama- tion, and all other questions determined by an aye and no vote, there | non yesterday afternoon a es H ave Been Spent Heré by Convention Crowd Estimate Made by J. E. Smith and Senator Tom Taggart— St. Louisan Thinks City Got $1,000,- 000 Worth of Publicity for Hospitality. — James E. Smith, chairman of the Citizens’ Committee which entertained the delegates and visitors to the Demo- cratic National Convention, today roughly estimated that $1,000,000 was spent in St. Louis by visitors. In ad- dition to the direct benefits, he helieves the city will receive more than $1,000,- 000 worth of publicity on eccount of the splendid manner in which the vi-ftors were taken care of and entertained. Nearly every state delegation passed resolutiong expressing their apprecia- tion of the generous hospitality of St. Louis. Newton D. Baker; Secretary of War, sent a letter to Smith thanknig the Citizens’ Committee for the most generous and gracious hospiality ex- tended to the visitors. Clark Howell, Georgia member of the national committee, told Smith that he could not find words to express his ap- preciation of what St. Louis had done for him during his vialt here. Hinton Booth, secretary of the Georgia delegation, sent this letter to Smith: “At a meeting of the Georgia delega- resolution was adopted directing me to convey to you and your committee the sincere thanks of our delegation for the enter- tainment you have provided for the vis- Suffrage Centest Mest Spirited. | The fight over the suffrage plank was spirited, and aroused the convention t» iting delegations,”’ Letter From Baker. Secretary of War Baker sent the fol- | a pitch of excitement not seen in any the majority of the committee, inter- rupted Senators Stone of Missouri, Pit- man of Nevada and Walsh of montana, who spoke for the majority report, so the plank might be defeated, and there- situation. The party pronouncements on the tar- iff and the strong Americanism plank called forth no comment from the del- egates, who without rolicall voted unan- imously for the adoption of the plat- ‘form, as a whole, after the suffrage Plank, which placed the party on record as favoring the exten- sion of suffrage to women by the states, on equal terms with men, had been adopted by a vote of 888% to 181. As it went into the platform the suf- of the earlier sessions.

United States Senator Tom Taggart of Indiana, also member of the Demo- eratic National Committee, gave 4 written statement in which he said that St. Louis had done § itself proud in handling the convention, and showed what genuine hospitality means by the continuous and elato- rate entertainment extended to dele- gates and guests. He, too, thought about $1,000,000 was spent in St. Louis by visitors during the convention. “St. Louls is a great convention town and I want to congratulate the city upon the maner in which the delegates and guests were taken care of by the hotels,” he added. He said he beli@ved there would have been more visitors to St. Louis if the impression had not gone out that the convention hall would not be large enough to accommodate them all. He said that too much praise could not be given to the committee for the manner in which they had en- tertained the delegates. lowing letter to Smith: women denounced afraid to hear @ man say something in their behalf. I want to appeal to you to give vour sisters and daughters and mothers the right to vote.” ~~ “What's that got to do with this!“ chorused the delegates. Finally, ignoring lesser outbreaks and, shouting above the din and confusion, Benator Pittman managed to get through with his speech, It remained for Senator Walsh to pull the fat out of the fire and save the administration plank. In an impassioned speech he swept aside the smaller questions which had been injected into the fight, told the delegates that President Wilson himself knew the plank was in the plat- form and considered it essential for party victory. Cites Action of Other Parties. “Whate.er your opinions may be,“ he said, ‘‘we shall never be anything but a discordant and divided party unless we surrender some of our convictions to the wisdom of the majority. Here you are confronted as one of our fa- mous leaders said, ‘With a condition, not a theory.“ The 12 suffrage states represent 91 votes in the Electoral Col- lege, Every political party has made this declaration in some form or other. It becomes a simple question of wheth- er you will incur the enmity of these women. There is no possibility of los- ing a single vote if you adopt this ma- jority plank because every other party has done the same. “J ask you,” he cried, “if you're go- ing to put a resolution in here that's a lie. You can't adopt this minority re- port without stultifying yourselves.” Senator Walsh then explained that the President knew about the suffrage plank, and added. „He believes it vital to his success that it stay there. I ask you with all the fervor of my soul, who is there here who its wiser or more patriotic than ne?“ While the fight had been going on, a thunderstorm burst and when the row down on the convention floor was at ite height, the storm reached its climax. The booming of the thuruer mixed with the roaring shouts on the floor, and the clatter caused by the rain on the glass skylight almost drowned out the speakers. The storm cleared just as Senator Walsh finished speaking, and the closing words of his plea for the administration plank swept a change of sentiment over the crowd Jas welcome to the suffragiatse as the wave of cool, refreshing air that poured down into the Coliseum. Defeat of Substitute Soon Certain. There was renewed cries of Vote, vote! but they were not shouts for the defeat of the plank. As the clerks called the roll of states the votes toppled into the column supporting the plank as tne committee had written it so fast that the defeat of the substitute was as- sured befory the call had gone a dozen states. At the close of the roll-call the whole platform as written was adopted, and after diaposing of some formalities ine convention adjourned sine die at 111 o’clook. The delegates left the Coliseum to the tune of “Onward, Christian Sol- diera,"’ the band playing the Bull Moose hymn of the 1912 campaign, apparently as an invitation to Progressives to join the-Democratic party.

Haggard and worn from an all-night seagion, the platform makers were not ready with their report until after noon, when Senator Stone, sleepless for more than 80 hours, took the speakers’ stand and explaining that he was too tired to read the document gave over this task to Senator Walsh of Montana and Sen- ator Hollis of New Hampshire. They relieved each other reading the lony declaration. The fight on the suffrage plank was in the air. Everybody was keyed up to it and when at the conclusion of the reading of the platform, Martin Lomas- ney of Boston, a delegate, claimed the attention of the chair it was thought that he was opening the fight and it was several minutes before the shouts of approval and cries of disapproval could be stilled sufficiently to hear that he wanted to put the convention on record as sympathizing with “the peo- ple of Ireland.“ Raus mit him“ roared a Baltimore delegates, and the convention hall rocked with laughter. The real fight broke immediately after, however, when Gov, Ferguson of Texas, who headed the minority report against the administration suffrage plank, was given 30 minutes in which to present it. Minority Plank Offered. The plank offered by the was this: The Democratic party hae always stood for the sovereignty of the sev- eral states in the control and regu- lation of elections. We reaffirm the historie position of our party in this regard and favor the continuance of that wise provision of the Federal Constitution which vests in the sev- eral states f the union the power to prescribe the qualifications of their electors. With Gov. Ferguscn it was signed by former Representative Bartlett of Georgia, James R. Nugent of New Jer- sey and Stephen B. Fleming of Fort Wayne, Ind. The burden of Gov. « ergusen's argu- ment was that suffrage being purely a state's right question, the wording of the majority plank was a presumptuous recommendation to the states on how to conduct their electorate. Anti-suffrage delegates on the floor plied the Governor with questions which brought out, in the answers, fresh argu- ments against the administration plank and when Ferguson had finished, the convention was in confusion, and the tone of the uproar in the delegate sec- tions was indicative of sympathy with the opponents of the administration plank, When Senetor Stone took the speak- er's place to defend the plank, he was oombarded wtih a running fire of ques- tions and argument from delegates on the floor which eventually exhausted the time allotted to him without per- mitting him to speak 10 successive min- utes. minority the country by the states upon the same terms as to men.“ On the same subject, the Republican party incorporated in its platform the following plank: »The Republican party, reaffirming its faith in government of the people, by the people, for the people, as a measure of justice to one-half the adult people of this country, favors the extension of | suffrage to women, but recognizes the right of each State to settle this ques- tion for itself.“ The suffrage plank of the Progessive party platform was attached to the preparedness plank. It reads: “We believe in preparedness for de- kense, but never for aggression. We must not sacrifice the lives of men for the glory of gain of military conquest. And we believe that the women of the ccuntry, who share with the men the burdens of government in times of peace and make equal sacrifice in times of war, should be given the full political rights of suffrage either by State or Federal action." President Wilson is on record as favor- ing woman suffrage. Col. Roosevelt, who declined the Progressive nomina- tion, has been a persistent advocate of We man suffrage. Charles E. Hughes, the. Republican candidate, has not yet expressed his views on the subject. There are 91 electoral votes in the suf- frage states, and all parties are mak- ing a bid for these votes by inserting a suffrage declaration into their plat- forms, SUFFRAGISTS TO HAVE THEIR $1 DINNER TONIGHT A dollar dinner planned at the Plant- ers tonight at 6:30 o’clock by the Con- gressional Union of Suffragists, with the object of establishing a branch of this organization here, was at first an- nouncement spaken of as the Susan B.

By Leased Wire From the New York Rureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, June 17.—~When Amos F. Fino died a year ago he left an estate worth’ $12,105,178. He was 82 years old, a bachelor and eccentric. His rich and socially prominent relatives, led by his nephews, Gifford and Amos Pinchot, are trying to cohvince a jury that he was senile and incompetent to make a will, although under the document offered for probate they are given $7,913,000. These nephews and nieces are turning pitiless light into all corners of the old gentleman's life and their own, reveal- ing id streaks of insanity and im- beciliiy. This is only one phase, how- ever, of a contest being conducted by them at an estimated expense of $500,000, largely to recapture the residuary es- tate which by the will goes to Columbia University. It will amount to more than $2,000,000, though gifts in excess of 32. 900,000 to other public uses would be ATT AGE C OF S8 office,“ said Train, “than Eno turned A of e e Pisdiddutial Nominze | and Photographs of His Boyhood and Y outh EXPECTED T0 COME OUT FOR HUGHES Perkins and Whitman Confer and Then Crane Calls on Colonel.

Perkins left no doubt in the minds of politi- cal observers that Col. Roosevelt soon would announce definitely his sup- Port of Charles E. Hughes. Perkins met the Colonel in a long talk, at the same time that Gov. Whitman met Hughes yesterday. Perkins and Whitman met for 4 conference when each had left the company of Col. Roosevelt and Hughes, respectively. Afterward Per- kins said negotiations were under way looking to a “restoration of the good feeling between the Progres- slves and Republicans.“ Finally Perkins and Whitman met in another conference last night. Meanwhile, Col. Roosevelt had been visited at the Hotel Langdon by for- mer Senator W.

And inside the hall was jammed. aA number of correspondents held a con- clave at the entrance to the alley. Every one had a suggestion. “Go to a saloon and telephone to the Chief of Police,“ was one. Send word in to the convention ‘eaders. Get Ollie James on the wire and have it an- nounced on the floor. „Huh! How are you to get the word in?“ One of them told of a similar expe- rience at a previous convention, where a man, in a seat that did not belong to him, threatened to yell fire“ if he was put out! Altogether a pleasant ev- ening was had. At last two of us made a plan and followed it. We slipped through a yar! behind the Coliseum, found a board off a fence, got through and found orr- selves at the head of the line. B. that time the police were realizing that it was a serious matter, and one by one the correspondents were admitted. We went in, flushed with battle and with triumph. And now, I call the attention of the country at large to this disgraceful situ ation, because St. Louis is not the only city that has offended. It is the cus- tomary thing, one of the grafts of city politics. Not an aisle remained, not an exit was free. Men hung to the window sillie high above the baiconies ani, perched on rails.

The volume is marked by the same exhaustive re- search and attention to detail that characterized the preceding vol- umes of the series. (International Historical Society.) „ A SIMPLE LOVD STORY. P LORENCE OLMSTEAD, author of F “A Cloistered Romance,” has written a simple little love story in “Father Bernard’s Parish.” Common folk and workers are pic- tured in the story with their simple joys and tribulations. There is an in- direct indication of their struggles, but the economic motive is not the one emphasized by the author. She just tells her story in which young people are in the foreground and the old form the background. After all the young are the foreground of life. It is they who look inte the future and in them the hope of the world reposes. The story is interesting from the beginning. The reader is bound to like Lena because she is so fascinat- ing. She manages to have a good time, but knows how to take care of herself at all times, While the story takes Father Bernard’s name into its title we see very little of the goodly priest who is surely exceptional in his understanding of the worldly forces which drive folk on. There should have been more of this priest in the story. In all it is a pleasant little story which will be enjoyed by young and old because it makes its appeal to all. (Seribners.) ART, ARTISTS AND MODELS. éé EARTS AND FACES,” a ro- H mance by John Murray Gib- bon, is of special interest to artists. It is the story of a young Scotchman who becomes a successful artist. His career begins in his na- tive land, and the reader gets a sym- pathetic view of the city of Aberdeen, its university, its people, and even its slums, in the first chapters. Also, the fogrry, but charming, scenery of the Scotch country and seaside in the vicinity of that city are visited with interest. The hero, George Grange, finds an ideal art teacher in a lovar ble old Scot, Nathaniel Reid, whose in art is to keep clear of them, “If ye can’t, make the best of them. Fit them into your work, don't let the work fit them.” Of course, living as an art student in London and afterwards in Paris, the young man finds it impossible to keep clear of women. And one wom- an, especially, unhappily married to the villain of the plot, manages to make his life both happy and miser- able. Her fate and his tecome irre- vocably mixed, and his artistic career is molded in large part by that fact. While, in the main, the story is a romance of men and women, with their goings and comings, their loves m advice to him, with regard to women and their hates, their follies and their good deeds, with a good deal of humor such as life yields, especially in the art world, the author has given us a book that contains much excellent advice on art and art methods. His hero found in his art the solace and stay that, perhaps, through his own fault, he failed to find in men, and especially in women, to none of whom did he manage to bind himself ex- cept for brief periods. He is a mel- ancholy, somewhat cold-blooded char- acter, but the women of the book re- lieve it of any churge of dullness. They are the real soul of the story. (John Lane Co.) " THE BARS OF IRON. HE “Bars of Iron,” which provide T the title for this new novel by Ethel M. Dell, author of “The Way of an Eagle,” are the bars which imprison and torture the soul of a man who has killed another man and has fallen in love with the widow of his victim without knowing her identity and without her knowing that he is her husband's slayer, and who, coming into the knowledge of her identity, marries her without re- vealing himself to her as the cause of her widowhood. It is rather an ingenious situation, but one which presents difficulties and jeopardizes the reader's sym- pathy, especially in view of the fact that the killing, although done in a fight forced upon the one who did it, was done intentionally through the employment of a wrestler’s trick which was calculated to have fatal consequences. The author's amiable endeavor to load the responsibility on a devil“ which mastered her hero is not entirely successful, nor does she succeed very well in palliating his subsequent outbursts of extreme- ly ugly temper by attributing it to the same disagreeable “devil.” The conduct of the Pter’s Evesham of her story is not to be condoned un- less it is granted that hereditary taint has impaired his responsibility and the author does not specifically urge that condonation. Little effort is made by the author to endow the character of Evesham with redeeming qualities beyond a generous “boyishness” which has sway when his devil“ is off watch. Sympathy is readily won by Avery Denys, widowed by Evesham’s act and wedded to him, even though her course following the discovery that Evesham is the author of her widow- hood strains probability In view of the worthlessness of her first hus- band. The Rev. Stephen Lorimer, who tyrannizes over his family, is drawn with a skill that compels one’s relish in spite of his odious characteristics. It is rather difficult to be vexed with his sweet little daughter when she expresses the fervent hope that when he dies he will go to hell and stay there forever and ever and ever.

(Putnam.) SOCIALISM AND RELIGION. HERD is an impression, quite gen- eral, that socialism and religion are mutually exclusive and. that Socialists as a rule are irreligious. So- cialists have always denied the charge that socialism makes for irreligion. They have pointed to the great body of Christian socialists, a deeply religious group who feel that religion without so- cialism is not true to its basic princi- ples and to its mission. One side in- sisted that one cannot be a socialist and be religious. The other averred that one cannot be truly religious without being a socialist. What are the facts in the case? That is the question propounded and an- gswered by John Spargo in ‘‘Marxian So- clalism and Religion.“ He examines and defines religion. He has had recognized religious teachers of. various denomina- tions define religion for him. He then while it is true that some socialist. lead- ers were free-thinkers, agnostica or Atheists, that there is nothing in the teachings of socialism which conflicts with the fundamentals of religion. All this is done very carefully, fun- damentally and in a style which makes reading a delight. It is the sort of book which will be welcomed by those who have a genuine interest in this im- portant subject. In placing this book before the public, Spargo has rendered service, for, in his own words: —— Psi caret 3 needs a better Pes R understanding of religion, to more i | » The New * Prosperity . tolerant, to treat with reverent sympa- | — thy the religious spirit, and to enlist vantage to the ethical idealism of religion on its side. And organized religion needs a better understanding of socialism, to maintain an attitude of friendly sympa- thy toward it, to honor its idealism, its courage and consecration, and to co-op- erate with it in ite efforts to establish economic justice and fraternity.” r passe Burlington's initiative the greatly natural ¢ f ” Your gus E | yoveente.

THE GREATEST FUR MARKET IN THE WORLD When Laclede and his men established their rude fur trading post on the present site of the city of St. Louis they’ little dreamed that they were laying the founda- tion of a mighty city, and that St. Louis would one day become the world’s greatest raw fur market. However, this is a fact—and today fur buyers from the four corners of the globe come to St. Louis to attend the fur sales held by Fun- sten Bros. & Co., and St. Louis is now the largest raw fur market in the world. Funsten Bros. & Co., founded in 1881, have grown until now many millions of dollars’ worth of furs from all over the world pass through their hands. For many years the United States Government sent all the Alaska seal skins to London for disposal, but now London and Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Petrograd and Rome come to St. Louis to buy their share of Uncle Sam's annual seal catch—because Funsten Bros. & Co. have transferred from Lon- don to St. Louis the only successful seal skin dressing and dyeing in- dustry, and the Government has found out that it can dispose of its seals and other furs in the St. Louis market to better net advan- tage than it was possible to obtain formerly in the London market. Of all the six auction sales held throughout the world, the St. Louis March public auction sale held in St. Louis during the week of March 20th was the largest and produced the best results to shippers on the whole. St. Louis is the largest primary raw fur market in the world. FUNSTEN BROS. & co.

They are now, and have been ever since the outbreak of the European war, devoted to the im- portant task of lining up the indus- try to meet conditions when war has ceased to disturb the world by its demoralizing influences. At no time in their history hav? the steel mills had a run of orders such as now fills their books. This is particularly true of the larger ones, including the United States Steel Cor- poration and the so-called indépend- ents. In some instances the smaller concerns are booked for only a few weeks ahead, but with many of them this is in harmony with their plans to be in a pesition to profit or be secure against harm from whatever changes in the world situation may take place with brief warning. The big concerns, as a rule, are supplied with orders to carry them ‘well into next year, provided there is even a fair volume of summer business, which is not to be doubted in view of the widely prevalent outlook fer prosperity in all the basic lines in thie country. Looking Ahead te Werld Peace. The one problem that cannot be definitely determined, either by the men directing the steel industry's course or those in any other line, is as to what may be reasonably de- pended upon after peace is declared between the warring nations. They are not the least uncertain as to the demand for all products involved in the rehabilitation of the strife- devastated countries of the Old World, but they do not lose sight of the fact that those countries will still have the capacity for turning out a considerable volume of steel on théir own account. In England. Germany, France and other countries which cut an important figure in steel making, the workers in that for turning out war munitions and Kindred things which go to the spe- cial business of war, but they have enlarged the number of them. Not being on the fighting line, those men are not being killed, and when fight- ing ends they will be available for turning out large quantities of steel products for peaceful activities. All those countries will, therefore, be in position to not only provide for their own necessities, but for the -recla- mation of their foreign business in that line. It therefore becomes a question as to what extent the United States may depend upon fereign’ de- mand for its steel. They are assum- ing that there will be competition from those foreign countries fer the trade of neutral nations, and en- deavors are being made to etrengthen the hold upon that trade obtained while the neutrals cannot look to ‘anything elée of consequence. Normal Deliveries in Sight. While the steel mills are being crowd- ed for deliveries on orders, there is less pressure in this direction than there was a few months ago, when ' buyers were nervous lest they fall to obtain adequate déliveries later on te meet re- quirements easily foreseen. The gt. Louls end of the iron and steel business is highly prosperous and could hardly ask brighter prospect for the future. Prices have, of course, risen to a degree that could hardly’ fall to be reflected in smaller demand than if they were on a bargain basis, but this is not a matter within the control of the local people—they can, under ex- isting conditions, hardly be controlled Te Ait i of astuteness if success is to be line have not only been kept intact. Europe for either that commodity or oe = j ITH presidential year in national politics and the continuance of war in Europe, the timid mind, uninformed along general condition lines, would be disposed te keep his business close to the shore line, hold his operating capital as nearly intact as practical and husband bis credit These evidences of conservatism are always commendable, of course, and conducive to enduring stability of business, but can extravagance in enterprise. It is the middle course that wins, especially when behind that course exists sound directing judgment, and St. Louis maintains the winning course. forms one of the foremost industries of St. Louis, and the class of men in- velved, together with their adequate es pital, business methode and high credit are believed to justify the antici- pation that each year is going to see a vastly broader trade and extension of business volume. There are, for ex- ample, the Theo. Hiertz Metal Co., the Hoyt Metal Co., the Monarch Metal Weather Strip Co., all doing a special line that is nation-wide in favor; the Missouri Fire Appliance Co., which sends its product to every corner of the country, and the Beck-Corbett Iron Co. and the Joseph Greenspon’s Sons Iron and Steel Co., who report a steadily expanding business, resting upon rec- ords of straight and liberal dealing and rigid regard for every representation made in transactions. The iron, steel and other métals industries of the city are thoroughly secure in the hands of institutions such as these. Fame Threugk St. Louis Pump. A concern of a kindred type to those mentioned is the Farrar Pump and Ma- chinery Co., the output of which finds favor throughout the country, especially the pump designed and constructed by requiring that essential in the machin- ery line. It has made rapid and steady inroads upon other pumps by reason of demonstrated superiority and dependa- bility. It is, in the strength of the United States in her banking vapital and skull that is found basis for the confidence pervading every channel of business in the: outcome of future competition with the world at large, and in this respect St. Louis is in the front rank. There is here the capital to sustain every le- sitimate requirement and bankers quick to perceive the worthy demand and ex- tend every reasonable facility for meet- ing and carrying it to the utmost suc- cess. Year by year the banks show growth in resources and clearings, mak- ing it certain that business is being fostered to the fullest measure, and ex- perience leaves no doubt as to the fixed policy of those in charge of the bank- ing institutions to see to it that the interests of the city are bolstered when- ever they can bé furthered thereby and to whatever extent may be necéssary. In the list of such far-seeing and intel- ligentiy conducted banks stands the Chippewa Bank of St. Louis, 3801 South Broadway. Its location and policy give Ic a large and important clientele, which increases as that big industria! and commercial section of the city ex- pands. An industry of the quiet order, yet one that has an incalculable influence in spreading the fame of St. Louis as a trade center, is the Herriott Shoe Pol ish Co., 201 North Broadway. For some years it has been steadily ex- tending its field, until now there is scarcely a quarter of the ‘country to which its product is not shipped in constantly growing volume. Its trade has grown upon the merit of the pol- ish. and the policy of the company to carefully provide the full standard of merit.in every shipment made. Preepers on Sanitation. The Tip-Top Bottling Co. has made and is making its progress on a rig- idly adhered to system of sanitation of its bottles and wholesomeness of it« products, widely known and favored Tip Top, Bear Brand and Bell Soda Water. or this. sanitation the com- pany installed its own scientific system.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE “OUT OF IT.”—Will thé writer of the letter with this signature, in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, please call at this office? — Editor Post-Dispatch. The West End Railroad Nuisance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Regarding the street grade crossing of rail- roads in the West End, permit me to ask why cannot the city of St. Louis také a heroic stand and eliminate this nulsance by compelling the Wabash and Rock Island to enter the city from the east over the elevated? The Wabash already uses this for portion of service, and the Rock Ieland could make the detour west of city limits without much loss. Viaducts cannot help but deteriorate surround- ing properties. The roads secured a contested en- trance through our park, when the city was not much more than a sleepy little village—the park being far out in the suburbs—now it is in rhe heart of the city, our chief attraction. A tridge mars the grand drive into our park, tracks cross Lindell and Union boulevards, at another entrance, making this, too, unsightly; then along the northern boundary crossing at Skinker, a third entrance into our park, to say nothing of actually running directly through For- est Park at the northeast portion and again crossing a boulevard, King’s highway. In the history of beautifying cities and corréct- ing earlier mistakes, it will be found strenuous measures have, of necéssity, been resorted to, but what untold good has been accomplished!

This is not surprising. Many of these people are Working men and women who have saved a few Hundred dollars for a “rainy day,” and have con- verted the cash into bank certificates. These people, however, do not feel justified in paying $5 a year for a safe-deposit box when the trust companies have cut the interest rate to 3 per cent per annum. The trust companies should reduce the price of their boxes, so that people of moderate means may have a safe depository for their bank _ certificates, insurance policies, etc., at a reason- 8 able rental.

The Democratic platform contains a great, ‘strong, unequivocal plank on Americanism. It declares “the indivisibility and coherent strengtb of the nation” the supreme {ssue of the day and condemins all those who “promote the interests of a foreign power in disregard of our own country's welfare or to injure this Government in its foreign relations, or cripple or destroy its ‘industries at home, and whoever, by arousing prejudices of racial, religious or other nature, -ereates discord and strife among our people.” It condemns “the activities and designs of every group or organization, political or otherwise, that has for its object the advancement of the interest of a foreign Power, whether such object political party or representatives of the people” —everything that tends to divide thé people into antagonistic groups. It condemns all anti- American alliances and combinations. It con- demns any political party which is influenced by such activities. The issue of anti-Americanism is thus made clear. The Republican party and its candidate are challenged on the support of men who are trying to solidify the alien vote in order to pun- een Mr. Wilson for not yielding to foreign in- terests, and to elect a President who will be sub- ser vient to foreign influence. The Democratic party stands for undivided, undiluted and unqualified Americanism—for loyalty to American interests against every other interest, for opposition to every phase of foreign influence in our politics and policies. The platform is distinctly constructive. It not | only commends an extraordinary record of con- structive legislation, but it provides for the future. The approval of a tariff commission looks to the scientific and judicious regulation of tariffs and to the needs of American industry and com- merce. Approving the President’s resolute maintenance of a just neutrality and his splendid struggle to conserve right, law and humanity, it suggests a League of Peace, to enforce arbitration and in- ternational law and to protect the rights of smaller nations. This is a long step toward a federation of nations for the establishing of jus- tice in international relations. The plank on Mexico is strong because it pledges the United States to unselfish dealing with all our sister republics and to the defense of the Monroe Doctrine. It is strong becausé it recognizes the right of Mexico to freedom to work out its destiny and regards armed inter- vention as the last resort when all other means ot restoring order and protecting American vital interests have fafled. In the planks dealing with questions of social and industrial justice the platform makes a strong appeal to the progressive elements of all parties. A living wage, an eight-hour day, safety appliances and sanitary conditions of labor, ade- quate compensation for industrial accidents, child labor laws, the protection of the health and morals and the comfort of employed women, and similar measures approved by the convention are in line with the best thought and aspiration of all those who are striving to raise the standard of living, of health, comfort and safety among wage-earners. The preparednéss plank is general, merely pledging the party to measures which will pro- tect the country from invasion. In this respect the purposes of the party must be judged by the legislation which has already been enacted or formulated. The best thing about the platform, in which it is in harmony with all the utterances at the con vention, is the dominant note of Peace and Progress. It declares unequivocally for the main- tenancé of peace by all honorable means. Peace is the dominant thought of the world. The world is sick of war. It eagerly desires peace. The man who has maintained peace and who through peaceful means is attaining the ends of civiliza- tion and is preserving the prosperity of the country without sacrificing its honor or any vital thing is the man to whom the American people and the world will turn with more and more confidence as the hope of mankind. The strength of the Democratic party lies in the leadership of Wilson, who has elevated its policies to a high plane and has expressed and translated into action the best American ideals. = = * i i UNITED Anwar DAY OF RECKONING. The day on which the United Railways paid $1,839,205 of the great sum it owes the city mould de magnified above other days. Perhaps {t should be observed as Mill Tax day. It marks the )i vindication of a principle more important than the money involved, useful as that money will corporation ‘of asserting a highly desirable and beneficial : publi control of utilities. ‘What has the company gained by its long is promoted by intimidating the Government, a | nal the company, prompted by arrogance, pur- sued the precise course most likely to impress the people with a presumption of the full reason- ableness of the tax burden imposed 12 years ago. Here's to better relations between the United Railways and the pedple of St. Louis in the future. Such relations will be vastly promoted by a prompt payment of the portion of tax still in arrears. = = * THANKS POR THE COMPLIMENTS. Visitors, delegates, our guests, unite in saying pretty things to St. Louis’ face. We may be par- doned for repeating them: Men who have at- tended many conventions declare that never before have their needs been so carefully an- ticipated or adequately supplied. Our hospitality is called “wonderful.” An international news writer and delegate from New York says: “The entertainment features exceed anything I’ve ever seen anywhere.’ “Better treated here than any place I ever visited,” says an Ohioan. “Never heard of a convention where more was done to enter- tain,” says another. “Good times had in St. Louis, is the expression of a Chicagoan. “Can't make the praise strong enough.” “Magnificent hospitality,” “Delightful entertainment,” are com- mon phrases of our friends. Even the weather is the subject of encomiums: Balmy days and cool nights,” almost too cool for comfort,“ “perfect weather,” “some climate,” why, it isn’t hot at all!“ —these are verbatim compliments. For its part, St. Louis has never enjoyed any- thing so much. It has béen proud to play the part of host to the great gathering, it is grateful to its guests and reciprocates their feeling of friendli- ‘ness. We should like to make permanent citizens of such a magnificent body of men and women— in lieu of that, lifelong friends and frequent visitors. = = * NORTH DAKOTA’S PAID DELEGATES. North Dakota delegates to the St. Louis con- vention came here as recognized officers of their State, indeed; it may be said as salaried officers. Each delegate and alternate was entitled to draw $200 from the State Treasurer prior to his de- parture. From this sum he defrays his conven- tion expenses and returns the remainder of the $200 to the State. The Republican and Progres- sive delegates, whose national conventions have already been held, made creditable records in economy and the Democratic delegates in St. Louis are regulating their expense accounts with a view to saving a still greater amount of the taxpayers’ money. Machine bosses and wealthy interests have often gained undesirable influence in convéntions by paying the expenses of delegates. This is the reason Why North Dakota provided for public | payment. That either national conventions will be abolished or the delegates of all the statés will be given an Official status is most probable. Mr. Perkins would have been saved a lot of money if all the states had had the system this year. = = * ms reer Four years ago the whole world seemed to favor peace. Who then dreamed of a war with 10,000,000 “killed, wounded or missing?” Again with better reason the world yearns for peace. = = * ~~ A CYCLE OF BRYAN. To the convention which named Mr. McKinley in St. Louis in 1896 Mr. Bryan came as a reporter for an Omaha paper. His appearance interested the Washington correspondents in town, to whom he was known as an engaging young ex-Congress- man of some éloquence who had wrecked his ca- reer by giving up a renomination for the House to make an unsuccessful run for the Senate. They did not fail to note the many signs of in- experience he betrayed and his obvious timidity in the preséncé of blase workers and it was whis- pered that he was on the salary roll for $35 per. He did not, however, shirk any of the discomforts of an unfamiliar role. He patroled hotel corridors diligently and observantly, interviewed scores daily, joined the chase for material for “conven- tion sidelights,” shared the long waits outside the Resolutions Committee while the wrangle over the silver plank went on behind closed doors, and at exciting convention sessions drew from his wide acquaintance for the bénefit of provincial news- paper men unfamiliar with the identity of the party leaders. This week he was back again in St. Louis as a convention reporter, relieved of his former re- sponsibility for details, to be sure, and writing only impressions and comment, but still as a re- porter without other mission. It is almost 20 years to a day since he was here as a common or garden variety of shirtsleeve newspaper worker during a scorching week, but what a cycle it has been. Ten days after he plodded here, a “lame duck” of indifferent prospects in the law and more indif- ferent in any other profession, he was the nom- inee of a_historic party for President. Into what other American’s life have come so many changes of dramatic quality—nominee of his party not once but three times, dictator of Democratic destinies, not only a national figure but a world figure in oratory and the leadership in certain phases of thought, and finally back with paper pad and pencil in the town in which he served his brief apprenticeship. — "ae Is THIS THE I. W. W.? Because Gov. Spry of Utah refused to inter- fere with the execution of a murderer many months ago he has been constantly threatened, anonymously. The murderer, Joe Hilstrom, was u member of the “Industrial Workers of the World.”’ Now, in place of threatening letters, comes a bomb add to Gov. Spry. It explodes and wrecks a United States mail car and injures a mail clerk. The questions are fair-—Did the bomb come from the I. W. W., and do the I. W. W. stand for that method of protest?

Pe THE DARK SIDE OF THE CONVENTION. OV. MAJOR has seen his vice presidential (5 boom collapse without even getting a good laugh out of it. He was running on his re- cord as a fox trotter and tango expert, which the cor- vention had to accépt upon hearsay, and has been at the disadvantage of having no means of proving him- self before a convention which would never have nominated Hughes. It somehow never occurred «0 him to send out into the hills for a half dozen old fiddlers, engage some roomy dance hall, like Dream- land, invite all the delegates out there, and then show them what he can do. He could have done that. The delegates would have been delighted. Many of them have never heard such famous tunes as ‘‘Turkey in the Straw.“ Few of them know anything of humor in music as one finds it in Pop, Goes the Weasel! The thing might easily have roused the delegates from their apathy in this grave matter and carried the Governor to a place on the ticket. The vice presi- dency is filled because of fear that the President may die. Our disposition to make light of it, or to feel that we can trifle with the President’s health, is go- ing to get us into a mess some day. The Governor might have postponed that day, at any rate, by send- ing for his fiddlers and inspiring the delegates with the spectacle of his coat-tails floating over his brandished heels. Imponderables in the convention like Boss Murphy might have been reached in that way when it is impossible to reach them either by intei- Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark er bee lectual contact or over the phone. Probably few of them are highbrows or have very good manners, but they all have emotions. There is something of the same spirit of sadness with respect to what the wom- en were clamoring for before the convention. They didn’t get it. The big parties are careful not to force one another into doing anything about equal suffrage, and the Democratic party would be the last to break a gentlemen’s agreement. The dies will find that the ballot is not to be gained by a mere demonstration of beauty. They must suffer for it, as the men did. When Col. Roosevelt is himself again, he will prob- ably have something good to say of tue Democratic platform. There is Americanism for a red-blooded man, progress for a progressive, and temcatse going about in hobnailed boots. If the Colonel doesn’t like that it will be because there is sometlung much more serious the matter with him than his doctor thinks. Just a Minute is glad to announce to his readers that after having given all the parties the oncé over in their national conventions here and at Chicago, he is ready to resume business at the old stand as a more or less amuse neutral. Now the company is gone, will Mr. Einstein kindl meet the rest of us back of the woodshed a moment? Carranza is about to come out for Wilson.

By Leased Wire From the N. Y. Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 17.—Sheriff Sallee, the one-time ‘‘Cantaloupe King,’’ may have to go back to hawking vegetables unless he alters his attitude toward the St. Louis Cardinals. Following the announcement yesterday that Sallee had jumped the team and headed homeward, President Britton and Manager Huggins, of the Cardinals, both announced that Sallee was not only under suspension without pay, but that he would not be sold or traded to any other club and that the only thing he could do in the baseball world would be to return to his team or starve. In the meantime the St. Louis club is in more immediate danger of starving than Sal. What with bad weather and a last place position, the gate“ drawn by the Cardinals on the present trip has not been enough to pay expenses. The absence of Sallee also makes it hard on the Cards’ future showing. Sal- lee has returned to good form, this sea- son, and his airtight pitching at times is needed now in the hitting slump of the club. What was it all about? Way: Sallee was indefinitely suspended for a rumpus with Miller Huggins in the Hotel Ansonia, on Wednesday night, after the opening game with the Giants at the Polo Grounds. According to Man- ager Huggins, Sallee has been dissatis- fied with things in general for many weeks and during the verbal scrap on Wednesday night, declared that he was through with baseball. When ‘interviewed last night at the hotel, Manager Huggins had this to say in regard to the fight with his star pitcher: “Ballee has been disgruntled and dissatisfied for some time, but had not b training until today, when he failed to report at the Polo Grounds. There have been rumors for a week that he was to be purchased the New York club. These reports dissatisfaction with the It was this New York club does not tamper with players of other teams, re is no deal on in which Salifee is involved, and he will not be sold or traded to any other club.” uggins says that Sallee has left ay y and is on his way to St. It Looks Like Anderson. To forecast the pitcher for New York is always a matter of guess- work. McGraw will never give an in- timation of whom he will use until it is time for the final warm-up, and Cards Get Mule Watson; Browns Annex Yardley WO promising Western Asso- T ciation players were signed by local teams yesterday, the Browns and Cards each snaring one. Center Fielder Findlay Yardley of the McAlester team, who has recently stirred the Western cir- cult with his bangup hitting, will join Jones’ squad in September, while Pitcher “‘Mule’’ Watson of the Paris club will become a mem- ber of Huggins’ twirling corps at the close of the Western Associa- tion season. The sale price of each player is reported at $1000. who is doing the preliminary work. But he tipped his mitt yesterday. He had Anderson ready to go in against Meadows for the Cards, but at game time the insistent drizzle which had prevailed from noon on showeg signs of becoming an empha- — fixture and the game was called ort. The conclusion, therefore, is that Anderson and Meadows will be the opposing hurlers today. But Tesreau may get the New York assignment.

PHILADELPHIA, June 17.—Cornell was the University of Pennsylvania’s opponent in the annual alumni day baseball game today on Franklin Field. It was the deciding game of a series of three between the two teams, each having won one on the other’s home field. Spelleman was Coach Thomas’ pitching selection, while Russell was chosen by Coach Sharp to pitch for the Ithacans. Thousands of Pennsylvania graduates here to attend their class reunions viewed the game which was preceded by a parade of alumni in fancy costumes. Cricketers Start Play. The local cricket season will be inaugu- rated on the Forest Park LK. field at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

A., under the tutelage of our paid coaches, holds that a bank robber has something on a “quitter.” In- ability to stang the gaff is con- sidered almost the worst crime known; nor can it be qualified or alibied. Swift and sure ostracism fol- lows him who flinches even when hopelessly outclassed.

LL of which is very fine for the ideals, but very hard on the rising young constitution. And what has been the result? This: That, driven by the tongue lashing of trainers and coaches, youths and N men are pressed to the limit of their still immature powers against odds they cannot hope to over- come! There never was a college foot- ball player—at least none that we ever knew of—who had not firmly imbedded in his mind the thought that it were better to break a leg, twist a spine or suf- fer a fractured skull in the ef- fort to stop a stronger and fresh- er and more powerful machine, than to retire from the field say- ing. “You’re out of my class— Im no match for you.” * * — You Can Even Beat an Egg and It Won’t Howl. OXERS take desperate beat- ings by remaining in the ring against more powerful, clever and experienced opponents rather than face the stigma of “quitting.” The injustice of applying term, in some instances, is ap- alling. Promoters make many ll-advised matches. Green but ambitious youngsters are_ sent against axportepiec men. If the raw ones flinch from the pound- ing, they are blasted as “yellow. If they continue, they are apt to have both spirit and body broken. The Case of Pete Macklin. A’ Federal Park Thursday night Pete Macklin stopped fight- ing after the sixth round. It was announced that he refused to con- tinue and the crowd laughed, or jeered, and privately set him down as lacking heart. The facts in Pete's case justi- fied his quitting. What the pub- lic did not know was that Ref- eree Sharpe, seeing Macklin in distress, asked him how he felt. “I’m all-in,” he said, “I took the bout on short notice and wasn't f a Sharpe promptly and properly this ; When Is a Quitter, and Why?

No stigma should at- tach to him. 6 © * N England they take a more e sane view of these things. A boxer who finds himself out- classed is permitted to acknowl- edge his inferiority by “resign- ing.“ without anything detri- mental being thought about it. The term “quitter” should roperly be applied only to the fndtvidual who, starting the con- test on equal terms with his op- ponent shows lack of determina- tion te face punishment while still uninjured. There are few of this type in the sport world. Is Cleveland Lucky, Too? UST when the Cleveland base - ball club was at the lowest ebb of its fortunes, when all the arts of Ban Johnson, the clever Dictator, were needed to keep the franchise alive ,along came Old Dame Fortune and flirted with the derelict. From being in the hands of its bahkers, the Cleve- land club is now on welvet.“ From a hopeless last place pros- pect it has, in two months, about paid its total annual expense. Whatever it makes henceforth will be profit. Not only that, but it seems to have a fair chance to win the flag! This is so remarkable that one would think it a happening that might occur once in a quarter century, or less. But have a look, et and you will learn different- J. ; Cleveland’s is the third similar instance to occur im as many seasons! + + — Phils and Braves Did It. Py BEN George Stallings took hold of the Braves it was a club without prospects. It was practically “broke,” until new fi- nancial bloog was injected into its veins. It looked like a place club; but im 1914 astounded everyone by winning the world’s championship and a fortune for its owners. Last year practically the same thing happened at. Philadelphia, where the Nationals were 7 ht- ing hard against adverse winds to keep off a lee shore and the financial rocks. Only the wreck- age of a good club appeared to be in the hands of Pat Morgan and the experts classified the team’s outlook only a grade or two out of last a. But it won the pennant in its league, though not the world’s title. Enough money was made to life all obligations from the club and put a fair profit into the treasury besides. And now comes Cleveland un- der similar startling conditions, and is similarly rescued, in the nick of time. t's quite a coin- cidence, eh Bo? St. Louis Soccer Players Invited on Foreign Trip Only American-Born Stars Are Wanted for Tour Through Scandinavia. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 16.—The sending of an American soccer football team to play with the best in Sweden and Norway has been definitely decided upon. The plan to send the Bethle- hems, winners of the national cham- Xionship for the past two seasons, was knocked in the head by the objection of the Bethlehem Steel Co. to letting the men go. It was argued that because the ma- jority of the players on the team were of British birth or descent, and be- cause for the past two years they have been bending all their young energies to the manufacture of munitions de- signed for the allies’ use, some im- pressionable disciple of Von Tirpitz might get strabismus, take the ship bearing the team for a British dread- nought, and slip a torpedo under its belt where it would do the most good. Therefore the International Games Commit- tee of the United States Football Association has been forced to fall back upon a real all- American team and letters have been sent to the delegates of every affiliated body in the country calling for nominees who will be willing to pay their own expenses from their home towns to New York and back. All expenses of the trip from New York to Scandinavia and return will be id, but the player must be delivered f. o, b. the Fred- erick VIII in New York, on July 26. That is the sailing date, and the first game abroad will be played Aug. 15. St. Louis Gets Invitation. Secretary Cahill of the U. 8. F. A, has sent the same letter to Winton E. Barker of St. Louis that he has sent to the heads of other organizations, callin for nominees, from which the team will be chosen at @ meeting of the International Games Commit- tee in New York on June 24. Officially, the honorable secreta has no choice for a single position on the team. He couldn’t and continue to hold his job; but in a purely personal capacity he would do a Marie Dressler wiggle if a few St. Louis- ans were able to butt themselves into the argument. r. Cahill has been selected by the Inter- national Games Committee to go along with the team as the representative of the U. 8. F. A., which may or may not mean that there will be some action. erhaps the mem- bers of the old Soccer League or the Trol- ley League can tell whether or not there will be. * — | Last Night’s Fights. } Tulsa, Ok.—Carl Morris knocked out Dan Daily ef Newcastle in one round.

Sharpe, It is probable that the fans will not overlook the program of boxing ar- ranged by the Keokuk Athletie Club at Federal League Park for tonight. It appears in advance to be one of the best which has been offered in a local ring for quite awhile. Johnny Ertle, the St. Paul bantam who appears in the main event with Johnny Ritchie of Chicago, has a grip on. the bantamweight championship that only a defeat can breax. In the writer’s opinion, Ertle is not only champion de jure, but de facto as well. When he fought Champion Kid“ Williams at St. Paul, Minn. — 2 10 of last year, Williams was disqualified in the fifth round,for committing a foul, * —— referee awarded the decision 0 e. Williams No Longer a Bantam. Some facts have developed since that fight that make Ertle’s tenure to the title a substantial one. The weight agreed upon for that contest was 118 pounds ringside. The boxers were weighed in at 9:30 o’clock. Williams was just under the weight. ‘Ertle weighed 113% pounds, and immediately entered the ring. He was kept waiting 2 until 10:25 before Williams came n Sam Harris, who managed Williams for a number of years, recently gave up the job and issued a statement, in which he said that Williams is no — able to make the bantam-weight m In view of the doubt that exists re- garding Williams’ ability to make the weight for bantams, he should either give Ertle a match at 116 pounds or retire as claimant of the title Ertle stands ready to make a match with anyone for any number of rounds at the bantam-weight limit. Dave Wartnik, who is now managing Williams, has issued a challenge on behalf of Williams to fight Ertle on a winner-take-all basis for the ban- tam-weight championship for any number of rounds and bet any amount from $1000 to $10,000 on the result. But— and this makes a big difference—he adds: “The request I will make is that the weight be 118 pounds ringside, the same as when they boxed in St. Paul.“ = 3 knows that 116 pounds is the mit. Ertle Makes Good Showing. After the disqualification of Kid Williams, Ertle came to St. Louis on Oct. 12 and boxed Jimmy Pappas. de- feating him in eight rounds. Accom- panied by his manager, Mike McNulty, the St. Paul bantam then departed for the East and met the best bantam- weights there, fighting 15 of them with- of Chicago, 12 rounds at 118 pounds SEMI-FINAL—Bob eon of Duquo gle, ö o Sydney.

Since then he has earned $19,000. About $14,000 of that amount has been earned since he defeated Williams. Johnnie Ritchie, the boy who bexes Ertle here tonight, has been boxing. about three and a half years. His right name is John Ryczek. He was born in Chicago on Jan. 8, 189, and is a Pole.

Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “Although with only a momentary in- crease in activity, the stock market dis- played considerable weakness today. in response to the over-night news frum Mexico. At the very start, declines of one to two points occurred in a num- ber of the usually active shares, in- dustrial and railway alike. This was, however, mostly the work of the first half hour, after that, the market grew dull again, with a few partial recov- eries. “That Carranza's intimations regard- ing our army in Mexico, created an un- pleasant situation (especially at the be- Sinning of a political campaign) every- one recognized, both in and out of Wall Street.

Previously acknowledged ....$486 14 Advices by telephone and through per- sonal visits reached the Post-Dispatch yesterday from girls and boys who, being through with school, are planning for early activity in the campaign for funds with which to provide pure milk and free ice to the poor babies of the city. This will, as in former years, take on a broad range of methods, from re- freshment stands to ambitioug plays and carnivals, all of which find strong sym- pathy with the general public. Some of the children gave assurance that their purpose was to make partict- pation in the campaign an ali-summer pastime, moving from one enterprise to another, because of the pleasure such activity gave them in the cause of hu- manity. . From a general survey of the situa- tion the Post-Dispatcsh is confident that the number of children who will nls year engage in the work of build- ing up the Milk and Ice Fund will be materially greater than in any former season, and that in thie they will have the active encouragement and support of parents and other grown people to an unprecedented extent. The tatter prospect has a foundation in the effort toward making the “Children's day al Delmar,” next Tuesday afternoon and evening, an event of first magnitude in the history of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice League. A section of the Mothers’ Congress enlisted early after announcement of the affair by F. Leslie Clendenen, and busi- ness men in substantial numbers soon followed, so that the interest has be- come city-wide. The comedy program and carnival by Hartford street chil- dren, on the same evening, ies likewise receiving hearty co-operation from nu- merous grown people and has developed into substantial proportions. ST. LOUIS HOSPITALITY 18 EXTENDED MR. HIPPOPOTAMUS Home in the Zoo Will Be All Ready for Him When He Comes te Town. If ever a hippopotamus should come to dwell in the municipal Zoo“ in For- est Park, there will be a home and a welcome for him. The Board of A!der- men has passed a bill appropriating $28,000 for the building of cages for mon- keys, pits for bears and houses for the elephant and a hippopotamus. These new cages, pits and houses will be in addition to the quarters now pro- vided for different animals in the new zoological building. 3137000 FOR HEAD OF UNION Leader of Minern Gets Verdict in Sander Suit, KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 17.—-Alexe ander Howat, president of the Kan- sas district, United Mine Workers of America, was awarded a verdict for $7000 against Joseph H. Hazen of Mulberry, Kan., by a jury here today. The jury refused to grant Howat damages from Charles S. Keith and ether defendants in his $50,000 suit for slander, growing out of state- ments alleged to have been made by the defendants, coal operators, to the effect that he accepted money to set- tle differences between miners and their employers, {NEUTRAL BONDS LOAN SECURITY New York Bankers Arranging $100,- 600,008 Freneh Credit.

The Democratic party,” thé editorial er, attempts to make the opposition to the President's foreign policy appear as ah outpouring of views detrimental to the nation. * ¢ “Especially nonpluasing is the piece of juggling regarding the declaration that only a small number are forgetful of} their duties to their country. It this i¢ really the case, then certainly an appeal to the entire nation for the punishment of this small number is unnecessary. But Candidate Wilson is of a different opin- ion, He demands that the nation shall furnish before all the world the proof that the nation is truly loyal and tnia proof—according to Mr. Wilson's view can be furnished only by re-electing him. Should, however, the unfcreseen ev>nt that Mr. Wileon is Beaten occur, then, according to his theory, the majority nt the people stand branded as unpatriotic. and desiring the welfare of other coun- tries above that of the United States,” The Amerika, German language Dem ecratic daily, under the heading, ‘A Most Unnecessary Comedy.“ today says the influence of Wilacn is evident in’ the entire platform. Thie is nowhere made more clear,“ the editorial mys, “than the clause regarding ..meritan- ism.” This clause “condemns as Gan- gerous and contemptible every gtoup and gathering which has for its object the adwancement of a foreign power.“ Regarding the Mexican question the paper says nothing ore pitiful can be imagined than “the attempted apolo gy of the hapless watchful waiting poi< icy.” In conclustsn thé edi orial mays: “What the Republican platform saya! about this especially will appeal a great deal more to the Catholics of our coun: try, who, by the way, are beginning to see that ‘the hyphen-hate is threatening them with danger and that they may be- come its next victims.” MEASURE BEFORE ALDERMEN WOULD ABOLISH PRIMARY Municipal Ballot Conference Wants First, Second and Third Choice in Voting. denen ef America alone, but the fi ests of Europe and the whole — bound up. “All through the United ot the Western giant would be oe de a world-shaking portent; for * — The United States id the g rest potentiality on sarth. ’ “What is the object with which United States is adopting pret as its watchword, with & tide?

This te preliminary te the amendment of the charter to per- mit proportional representation” se that minorities may be represented in the board, which is now controlled by one party. Roger Baldwin, secretary of the Civic League, at whose instance Alderman Udell presented the bill, said that if the present board declines to adopt the meagure and the one subsequently to be offered for the amesdment of the char- | ter, the advocates of these changes will urge the State Legiplature to authorige “proportional representation” in cities of the class of St. Louls. A campaign for, the furtherance of the bille will shert- ly be undertaken by the Municipa! Bal - j jot Conference. Members of the conference contend that nominations at primaries heve failed to deprive politicians of contrat: ef elections, and that the chofce of nominees should be by petition, as is ecntemplated in tle pending bill, By preventing the use on municipal tickets of captions of the national parties, they] believe that candidates are more lixely ta be judged on their merits.
