PRICE FAST NEN HAY LEAVE TONIGHT FOR THE MEAIGAN BORDER) § Muster of St. Louis Organization Completed To- day and Orders for Members Move Are Expected by Soon After Gen. Clark Wires War Department This Afternoon That Unit Is Ready for Service. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. CAMP CLARK, NEVADA, Mo., June 24.—Mustering in of the First Regiment, National Guard Missouri, at. the State mobiliza- tion here, was completed today. This afternoon Brigadier-General Harvey C. Clark, national guard commander, will wire the War Department that the First Regiment is ready for Federal service. ‘A physical inspection of the men was completed today. It is the opinion of officers at headquarters that as soon as Gen. Clark’s report reaches the War Department orders to move will be forth- coming. The regiment probably will move this afternoon or tonight. The brigade muster is expected to be completed tonight. Gen. Clark ad- mitted this morning that informal ciency being instructed in squad and platoon rushes, advances by columns and other skirmish drill.

The ‘mustering officers worked all last night supervising the clerical phases of the mustering in process. Leaves Bride to Enlist. ' Twenty-eight recruits arrived from St. Louis this morning for the First Regiment. 4 total of 118 recruits have entered the regiment’s ranks since its arrival. Among these was Roy Winzenbursg, 24 years old, of 6124 Kingsbury boulevard, city salesman for Swift & Co., who left his bride of two months to enlist in I Company as a private. Winzenturg two years ago was a sergeant in this company, which is commanded by Capt. J. F. Carmack. Lieut. R. C. Rutledge of Battery A said the battery would be ready to move early this afternoon, as soon the mustering is completed.

CLAY PIERCE’S CHAUFFEUR IS ARRESTED FOUR TIMES Big French Car, Shipped From New York, Is Without License, e- spite Telegraphic Request. Edward Kerr, sporting a dark purple uniform covered with gold braid, puttees and a fancy cap, was arrested the fourth time today for driving Henry Clay Pierce’s imported French automo- bile om the streets without a license. Kerr and the car were shipped to St. Louis from New York a few days ago by Pierce, who will be here in a day or two for a short visit to St. Louis. Kerr explained at the police station, after being arrested at Sixth and Olive streets, that Pierce telegraphed to the Secretary of State from New York to send a licénse to his office in St. Louis, but that for some reason the license had not arrived. The reason, according to the police, is that the Secretary of State pays no attention to telegraphic requests for licenses unless a sworn application, accompanied. by a certified check for the IT TAKES SENSE TO SPEND MILLS, ey 7272 ＋ Ai 52 5 48 8 in j.cost of the license, An on file in-his-office.

He was taken to Prosecuting Attorney Sid- ener’s office to see whether any such ar- rangement could be made pending the issuance of the license. OFFICIALS ORDERED TO STOP ‘FREIGHT SHIPMENTS TO MEXICO Washington Wires Custams Heads to Advise Railroads to Keep Cars on This Side of Border. WASHINGTON, June 24.—Customs of- ficials along the Mexican border have been ordered to hold up freight ship- ments into Mexico and to advise the railroads to keep their rolling stocks on the American side of the line. Treasury officials said today the col- lectors were acting under general in- structions to co-operate with the mili- tery authorities and that no specific em- bargo orders had been issued. Efforts to keep rolling stock out of Mexico have the double purpose of pro- tecting the railroads on their own ac- count and also guard against the loss of equipment which might be needed for the transportation of American troops, in the event of war.

Funston Today Indicates Those Who Fought With Capt. Boyd Were Practically Annihilated— One Packer and Fight Enlisted Men, Picked Up Yesterday, Confirm Stories of Other Fugitives. Gen. Pershing in his report today re- ferred to the number of those who pre- viously had returned to the American lines as 11, although in previous dis- patches at seven. With those who were rescued by Lieut. Meyer, the total num- ber of those who had peturned Was 27. 14 Dead, 43 Prison In Estimate. ne aon in, the two v “to Atte deen The total numbey lone was . 84. Gen. Pershing, offering a summary or his information and explanation that his conclusions were based on tzuch in- formation as he had secured from the stragglers and from press reports, alled attention to the indications that there were 57 missing and that press reports indicated 14 of these were dead and 43 were prisoners. Gen. Pershing does not account in his report for the number wounded, but appeared to assume that all those wounded had been captured. Gen. Pershing reported that he had re- ceived no word from the commander of the two squadrons of the Eleventh Cav- alry that had been sent forward to res- cue the remnant of the Tenth. All those brought in by Lieut. Meyer were horse holders and, like those who came into camp yesterday, were not actually in the fight. The men had difficulty, they said, in handling the horses when the furious machine gun and rifle fire began and re- treated before the conclusion of the engagement. They had cared for such horses as they could round up after they got beyond range of the fire, the full number of mounts in their posses- sion when encountered by Lieut. Meyer being twenty-five. The troopers told their stories before they had re-entered the camp and had an opportunity to talk with the man who had preceded them. The accounts they gave to Lieut. Meyer and that they afterwards related to officers at Gen. Pershing’s headquarters were said to have borne out, in all essential details, those previously told. They said they saw Gen. Felix Gomez and his aid ride forward to parley with Capt. Boyd, and later saw him move toward the flank of the Mex- ican troops that had begun closing in on the American force. According to their story, the first intimation anyone had that hostilities were detern:ined upon was the outburst of machine gun fire, . Story, of Attack Corroborated. They corroborated the accounts that said it was not until then that Capt. Loyd gave the command for nis men to dismount and return the fire. The Mexicans during the pdriey had crowded forward and had assumed such positions that when they attacked, they were in position to sweep with killing fire the American line, standing ex- posed in the open. Officers at Gen. Funtson's headquar- ters seemed convinced after studying Gen. PersS'ng’s latest report that all of the two troops that would be found now would be wounded. An anal- ysis of the figures secured indicated that the number of wounded must be in excoss of those that escaped injury and that therefore, the battered remnaut could not have moved far from the scene of the fight. Admission of these facts increased their apprehension as to the fate of the troopers. Their greatest hope today that nothing worse has befallen them and lief force from the Eleventh finally got to them. | Although no news. official or other- wise, had been received today that indi- cated the Mexicans had followed up their work of Wednesday. some of the officers professed keen anxiety to learn whether they had attacked again. the broken and wounded band that manifestiy was in- that they would be there when the re- 1 ] SAN ANTONIO, Tex,, June 24.—Complete disorganization of the two troops that were engaged in disastrous combat Wednesday morning at Carrizal with Carranza’s troops and the practical an- nihilation of those aetually in the fight was indicated in a report from Gen. Pershing to Gen. Funston today. One packer and eight enlisted men of C Troop and seven men of K Troop were picked up yesterday morning by Lieut. Meyer uear Santa Maria. All were horse holders. told were almost indentical to those told by the other stragglers that reached the transmission lines yesterday. The stories these men treating. It was recognized as indisput- able that had the Mexicans cared to fol- low up their advantage the few remain- ing troopers would have been easy prey for Gomek’s men at Ahumada. Supporting Column Revealed. Gen. Pershing’s mention of the rescue of the J6 men by Lieut. Meyer gave information- headquarters here the trat, that he had sent out more than two squadrons of the Eleventh in search of the scattered troopers. It was unknown whether the troop commanded by Lieut. Meyer was one of those of that detachment or whether it was another unit acting independently. It was believed here more probably that the two squadrons had been held intact and were driving directly along the trail to Carrizal. Gen. Pershing gave no reason to sup- pose that he had sent a supporting force for the two squadrons of the Eleventh, but it was assumed at headquarters that he had, and that in the event of a clash with Mexicans at, or near, the scene of Wednesday's fight—almost ninety miles from the American lines—assistance could be given without great loss of time to the cavalry relief force. Gen. Funston immediately forwarded Gen. Pershing’s report to the War De- partment.. It was indicated that it went far towards convincing Gen. Funston and his staff that the blame for the Car- rizal fight rested entirely on the Mex- icans. It will not alter the determina- tion of Gen. Funston, however, not to give any new orders to Gen. Pershing ov to commanding officers at border points affecting the general situation until absolutely no doubt remains. Even if such a report is made, it is improba- ble that Gen. Funston will act without special instructions from Washington. Officers at southern division headquar- ters, however, still hoped that more complete report from Brigadier-General Pershing would show that others of Boyd's force have escaped death, wounds or capture. It is belleved here that the relief expedition comprised at least eight troops and was strong enough to deal with any situation which it might meet. The identity of the commander of the expedition is unknown here. Col. James Lockett is in command of the Pleventh Cavalry with Henry T. Alien as Lieutenant-Colonel. Command of the expedition may have been en- trusted to either of these officers, or to Majors Robert L. Howe, Charles A. Hedekin or Melvin W. Rowell. AMERICAN AVIATOR IN FRENCH CORPS IS KILLED AT VERDUN Corporal Victor Chapman Loses Life After Bringing Down Three German Acroplanes. PARIS, June 2%-—Corporal Victor Chapman of New York, 4 member of the Franco-American flying corps, was killed yesterday at Verdun after bring- ing down three German aeroplanes. Chapman is the son of Mr. and .Mrs. John Jay Chapman of New York City and the nephew of Mra. William Astor Chanler. He was a pupil at L'Ecole de Beaux Arts when the war began and joined the French army—the Foreign Legion. He was wounded last Saturday in a combat with Capt.

According to a statement said to have been signed by Spillsbury, which was made public today by Gen. Trevino, neither he nor the negroes knew which side began the firing. Spillsbury’s statement says that C Troop wae first to advance against the Mexicans. It adds that practically all deep ditch in which Mexicans were sta- tioned and when other Mexicans, getting around to another deep ditch in their rear, attacked them from the flank. In his statement, Spillsbury says that he never dreamed when he left Casas Grandes in company with Capt. Boyé that there would be any trouble, teeling cunfident that previous friendly rela- Aons would continue. Expected Backdown. Capt. Morey and his men joined them en route, and the statement quotes Spillsbury as saying that during the con- ference with Gen. Gomez he was opposed to Capt. Boyd's “obstinacy,” ‘arguing that it would be best to retire until Gen. Trevino at Chihuahua had passed on their request to Gomez to be allowed to pass. Gomez explained, it is said, that an answer would come in three hours. The statement recounts a supposed opinion by Spillsbury that Capt. Boyd was imbued with the idea that an action would bring- him quick promotion, and also that the Mexicans would back down on a show of force. It credits the scout with having argued with Lieut. Adair on the evening before against moving into the Carrisal territory in search of bandits and also says he admits having importuned Capt. Boyd at least to try to get around by some other road. It then gives Spilisbury’s story as follows: “The troops were about 200 yards apart during the conference. Captains Boyd and Morey and I advanced half way to meet Gen. Gomez. It was 20 minutes after we had returned to our respective lines and Boyd had given numerous orders to his men and those of Capt. Morey, who were stationed some distance away in line, before Boyd gave the order to advance. “The opposing sides were. within 15 yards of each other when the firing began. Neither the negroes or I knew who fired first. I remained behind. “Troop C got as far as a deep ditch, where the Mexicans were placed. Prac- tically all who lost their lives were there, including Boyd and Adair. The (Mexicans did heavy execution with a machine gun and then, getting around to a deep ditch in the rear, attacked the Americans from that point. Troop C Surrounded. The whole of Troop C was surround- ed and not many seemed to get away. The horseholders boited with a few mounts, but the remainder were bot- tled up and captured. There were two American pack mules along, but they evidently got away at the very start. H Troop apparently fared better, as it was farther away. “A bullet took off my hat and an- other grazed my arm. One of the negroes who was captured its wound- ed. “In jail here the negroes are very bitter about being led into what they call a deadfall. the open with natural defenses al around them, such as brush and ditch- es, which the Mexicans naturally took advantage of. “The Mexicans engaged were about 26 in number.” The statement concluded by crediting Spillebury sy poy — in the firat They were entirely in 5 =) ONE CENT |}.

TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITION IN MEXICO, June 22, via Columbus, N. M., June A. —A séant 150 United States troopers in hollow square, lying out in the open under the blazing Mexican sun, their Springfields crashing out in one volley after another; some 500 to 600 Mexicans, cavalry and machine guns, swarming upon them only to be mown down by the deadly fire, and at close quartets by automati¢ piétols—this is thé picture brought back to Gen. Por- shing by seven men, all who have re- turned so far of Troops C and K. .enth United States Cavalry. These seven were detailed. as horse holdérs when Capt. Charles T. Boyd of Troop C., in command of thé scouting party, seeing Mexican soldiers stealing out to surround him on both flanks, ordered his men to dismount and hold their rifles ready. Cut off from, their vomrades by the Mexican attack, several of them wounded, the seven decided that it was their duty to save the horses from capture and then to get back to Sen. Pershing so that reinforcements if possible might save what was left of Troops C and K. Troop C, undtr command of Capt. uf? thes .. Boyd, and Troop K. com- mandéd by Capt. Lewis S. Morey, reached Sante Domingo anch, to the west of Carrizal, Tuesday night, and camped there. Asked Permission te Pass. Early on Wednesday morning, the re- turning troopers say, the entire com- mand rode forward and, halting outside Carrizal, Cat. Boyd sent 4 message to the Carrinzista commander there (Gen. Felix Gomez, who was killed), asking permission to pass that place. The Car- ranzista commander replied that his orders were to permit no Americans to Dass south of his lines. Capt, Boyd, believing this reply was due to a misunderstanding, sent word a second time that he did not wish to rass throug. the town, but merely to ide past the Carranza post to the south of it. This time the Carranzista com- mander replied by asking the American commander to ride forward and confer with him at the outer edge of the town. Capt. Boyd, still unsuspecting, moved forward with his whole command to the appointed place. But, while he was talking with the Mexican leader, Mexi- can troops began to file quietly out of the narrow streets of Carrisal and to — > r 000,000 RELIEF iain eee — INTIMATED THAT U, $.

They whipped forward at top speed to save the horses Soon they recognized thé rattle of ma- chine zung When, having reached a point a little ont of thé line of firé, they turned, this is what was happen- ing, so far as they could distinguish: Troops C and K, drawn out in a hasty skir ‘ish formation, were ex- changing volleys with perhaps three times their number of Carranzista in- fantry, which surrounded them on three sides, and, backed by machine guns, was pouring in a perfect hail of bul- lets. Completely exposed in the open. the Americans were gallantly holding their ground. Preséntly the Mexican cavalry, which had been held in réserve on the flanks, charged. Apparéntly, Gen. Gomez de- lieved the Americans were demoralized by his men's fire and was sending in the cavalry to finish the business. The advancing cavairy, however, was met with so deadly a hail of bullete that it spéedily turned and fléd, leaving behind a trail of dying men and horses. The Mexicans, however, confident in the superiority of their numbers, rallied and returned to the charge. Several times, while the horse holders watched, they swept down, but just as seemed they were to ride through and over the little group of men in khaki, they would break and roll back oncé more. It was in this fighting, the men who returned say, that the a fire did its dead- liest work. Horsé Holders Ride Away. While the fight was still at ite hottest, some of the Mexicans began to také no- tice of the American horses and to real- ize that here was @ prise worth having. Bullets began to whine around the sev- en watchérs. It was then that they realized that their duty was to leave their comrades to fight their way out as best they might and to save the horses if they could. After scattering the horses through the hills, they rode away on the back trail until the rattle of rifles died away be- hind them. What the final story of the battle was none, of coursé, knew. It is hoped that the magnificent fight put up by the two troops eventually discour- aged the Mexicans sufficiently so that the Americans were able to draw dff inte the hills, where they may atill be awaiting the reinforcements already on the way, or may be fighting their way back on foot toward the main command. How many Mexicans were implicated in the attack is not yet definitely known, | — WASHINGTON, June . Stripped of its $1,000,000 relief provision for fami- lies of militiamen, the Senate Military Committe today ordered favorably re- portéd the Hay resolution adopted by by thé House yesterday to authorize drafting thé national guard into the service of the United States. A sub- stitute for the relief provision directs that militiamen having dependent fami- les should de discharged at once. The Senate committee also eliminated the provision that the militiamén to 50 drafted into the régular service should serve not exceeding three years, thus providing that they shall remain in service “for the period of thé emer- géncy.” As passed the measure stands virtually as it first Was introduced in the House. Relief Favored by Fer. The committee has practically unani- mous in voting to eliminate the $1.000.- 000 relief section. “It is unnecessary for the governmen: to assume a burden of this kind at the outset ot such a campaign,” said Sen- ator Weeks. “If there are men in the militia row Who have families dépend- ent upon them they should be dis- charged. They should remain at home and take care of their families. There are plenty of able young men éager to serve their country whose fam- ilies are not dependent upon them. Senator Martine introduced a resolu- tion for the Government to pay the full salaries of Clerks or other office em- ployes while serving with the guard in addition to their pay in the militia. It was not acted upon. “To make such a relief provision as the House resolution proposes would disorganize thé regular army.“ Senator Chamberlain declared. “We cannot have such benefits for one class of the service at such a time and-deprive an- other class in the same service of the privilege. The amendment we have pro- poséd giving the Secfetary of War au- thority to honorably discharge enlisted men withedependent families puts us on the same footing as other countries. Men with dependent families always should be called into the service last.“ Will Be Reported Monday. When the committee had completed revision of the resolutien, Senator Chamberlain, who intended to call it up at once, discovered that it would be impossible to get it before the Sen- ate today because of the memorial to the late Senator Bradley and the pur- WASHINGTON, June A. -News that’ some of thé South and Central Ameri- were preparing to initiate diation in the crisis between % afd Mexico drew ; nere today a strong Officers’ Reserve Corps Taking Subscriptions for the Ma- chines for Scout Duty). territory, ee. there was nothing to mediate, so far as the policy of this Government was concerned.

Carranza continues to receive tel- egrams from various parts of the repub- lic offering the services of the senders in case of war. It is estimated here that at least 800,000 men will join the Consti- tutionalist army.

Brusiloff in Volhynia has now developed over a front of 80 miles, extending from Kolki on the Styr River almost to the Galician frontier. Gen. von Linsingen's forces have en- veloped the Ruésians who had driven a big bend into the Austro-German lines, in front and on both flanks, and now, according to all reports reaching here. are slowly but surely pressing the Rus- Mans back all along the line in the gen- oral direction of Lutsk. Although considerabiy reinforced, Von Linsingen is confronted by highly sup- erior numbers, which, however, have been unable to check his counter attack and start the Russian steam roller again in the direction of coveted Kovel and Vladimir-Volynski. The Russian losses here are described as enormous. Rus- sian officers time and again led their men in desperate but fruitless charges against the German lines. Tune country covered by these engage nents is extremely difficult, impeded by sods and sWamps, and much of the fighting therefore has been at close quarters. To relieve the pressure upon this semi- circle before Lutsk the Russians have resumed the offensive against Gen. Count von Bethmer's lines along the Galician frontier, but attacks here and southward «along the Stripa River, al- though executed with great determin- ation, failed to make any impression upon the Austro-German lines. Russian gains are reported only on the lines in Bukowina south of Dniester. Here the Russians have not yet re-es- tablished contact with Gen. Pflanzer’s ee, army.

It was only by the last overwhelming rush, when the defenders were worn out and thinned by many hours of bombard- ment, that the enemy succeeded in rush- ing the Thiaumont work and the adja- cent advanced trenches. The Thiaumont fortification covered the approaches to Fleury and the enemy hoped to continue the charge and sweep away the defenders of the latter place, but the French counter attacked with such vigor that it failed.

WASHINGTON, June 24.—Orders were given today for the purchase of 54 ad- ditional aeroplanes for border use. They will be of the high power type recently sent to the border and orders will be dis- tributed among manufacturers in order to speed up delivery. Gen. Funston now has 12 of these craft at Columbus, but at the present time none of the dozen machines can be used on account of pro- peller trouble, although they have been tound highly satisfactory in every other respect. Gen. Funston has asked also for the return to Columbus of the first ship- ment of lighter power machines sent to the border. They were found unsuitable by army aviators for the work then be- fore them, and sent to the aviation school at San Diego. Until the big ma- chines can be given durable propellers, it is proposed to get the light craft back tor such duty as they can perform. Lack of aeroplanes with the expedition in Mexico is blamed for the long delay in obtaining exact information as to what happened at Carrizal.

Golden, who had been in retirement from the spotlight of publicity since he removed his saloon from Thir- teenth and Market streets to the King's highway address, was a wit- ness in the trial of Sergt. Thomas O'Meara, charged with neglect of duty. On the night of May 31 two shots were fired at a restaurant conducted by Mrs. Oscar Evans and Miss Rose O'Donnell at 4576 Manchester avenue. Sergt. O’Meara went to Golden's sa- loon, from which place the shots seemed to have been fired, but find- ing no one in the place armed con- cluded that the reports must have been the back-firing of an automobile and dropped the matter. The following day Mrs. Evans com- plained at the Magnolia Aveneu Police Station that the shots had been fired at her son. O'Meara was ordered to appear before the Police Board. While Mrs. Evans and Miss O’Don- nell were waiting in an ante-room to te called to testify Golden overheard them discussing the case and became angry. He expressed himself in such forcible language that Chief Young ordered his arrest. Sergt. O’Meara was exonerated. Patrolman Robert L. Thompson, charged with falling to make his hourly report by telephone, explained that he had been assigned to a picnic given by the Thirteenth Ward Re- publican Club at Meramec Park and that when a heavy rainfall drove the crowd indoors he did likewise.

A jurv in Circuit Judge Kinsey’s court yesterday returned a verdict of $3000 in favor of Miss Bertha Hueffemier, 26 years old, of 4606 Newberry terrace against David I. Olian, proprietor of the Ford Cloak Co.,.515.Washington avenue, for an alleged attack upon her. Miss Hueffemier was employed by the defendant in the sales department, then the Addison Cloak Co. She declared that when she entered Olian’s private office on business one day last August he closed the door and attempted to make love to her. She said that against her will he put his hands upon her and torcibly kissed her. In the struggle with him she was thrown to the floor, she said. She at- tempted to make an outcry but because of the position in which she was held was unable to call out loudly, she said. She said she finally broke away from Olian and ran out of the room. She left his employ immediately. Miss Iluffemeier testified that a week before this he attempted to embrace her. Olian denied the charge. He declared that Miss Hueffemeir had gone to his office to get a check signed for her de- partment manager and that in leav- ing the office she stumbled against a chair and fell. He denied that he at- tacked her or that he had kissed her. When Miss Huffemeier was on the stand the defendant’s attorney asked if she had associated with a married jman by the name of Cunningham. Her attorney, Taylor Young. objected to the question as having nothing to do with the case and was sustained by Judge Kinsey. Evidence showed she bore a good reputation. Olign is married and lives at 6588 Waterman avenue with }.is family.

WAUKEGAN, III., June #.—The de- fense in the case of Will H. Orpet, charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, was overruled by Judge Don- nelly today when it asked that the case be taken from the jury and the defend- ant discharged. Court adjourned until Monday when James H. Wilkerson will make the open- ing statement for the defense. Argument seeking to have the case taken from the jury was begun at the opening of court by Wilkerson, chief counsel for Orpet. He first took up the testimony of the chemists who appeared for the State and pointed out that while the potas- sium cyanide taken from the ash heap and to which the defendant previously had access, showed forty-nine per cent of full strength, that found on Marion’s hand analyzed fifty-eight per cent potas- sium cyanide and thirty-one per cent of potdssium carbonate, the latter re- sulting from decomposition of the cyan- ide. Cyanide available to Marion in the laboratory of the high school which she attended analyzed ninety-one per cent. “If we add the fifty-eight per cent plus of cyanide and thirty-one per cent carbonate we have eighty-nine per cent, or practically the same as the high school cyanide,’’ said Wilkerson. He next took up the point of the al- leged yellowish stains in the snow and quoted the testimony of Dr. Ralph Weo- ster, toxicologist, as explaining thac cyanide would leave a yellowish stain on a white handkerchief owing to its reaction on the fibre of the linen, but he did not state that it would discolor pure snow, Wilkerson contended. Claims Reasonable Doubt. Attorney Ralph F. Potter of the defense, in arguing for the motion to discharge, said the element of reasonable doubt loomed large on the two essential points: Did Orpet have potassium cyanide and did he admin. ister it? The fact, he said, that Orpet and Marion were alone in Helm’s Woods at the time of her death, comes far from proving that murder was com- mitted. Marion,“ continued Potter, “knew that she was not in a delicate con- dition. There was, therefore, no rea- son why she should take medicine. “She was, however, unhappy be- cause she had heard that Orpet was to marry another girl. She confided this to two of her friends, Miss Da- vis and Miss Russell, and told Miss Davis she might kill herself. Lambert was familiar with the ac- tion of cyanide and it was available to her at home and at her high school. It has not been shown that Orpec knew where the cyanide was in the green house on the estate of which his father is superintendent, and certainly it had not been shown that he took it. No Murder Motive. “Now, as to motive. Here is a boy 20 and a girl 18. There was a love offair and correspondence running the gamut of emotions. He admitted to her in the end that there was an- other girl. In this there is certainly no motive for murder.” It is said that when Orpet takes the stand he will declare that he is innocent of Marion Lambert’s murder; that she did not die at his feet in Helms Wood, that he did not see her fall, but that she was dead when he reached her side; that he did not see her.take poison, and when no idea what had killed her and did not know what kind of poison caused her death until after his arrest.

WASHINGTON, June %—Navy men are pleased over the decision ot the Senate subcommittee considering the na- val bill to recommend a five-year build- ing program which will include four. dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers in 1917. It tentatively had been agreed on Thursday to recommend only three superdreadnoughts. The subcommittee’s action in adding another dreadnought is said to have been based upon lessons drawn from the recent naval engagement between the British and German fleet as outhined to it by navy officials, including Secre- tary Daniels. : Other recommendations of the com- mittee call for: An increase of 23,700 in the enlisted strength of the navy, bringing the tojai to 74,700 and, in an emergency, to 87,000 men. An increase in the Marine Corps from 9000 to approximately 16,000 and in time of stress to 17,000 men; and ap- priations of $600,000 for construction ot a floating crane at Mare Island Navy Yard and $1,065,000 to extend the dry dock in Charleston Navy Yards for ac- commodation of deep-draft vessels.

Mr. Fairbanks, once Vice President and again a candidate’ for the chair on the Republican ticket with Mr. Hughes, flopped down in a wWicker chair. A newspaper reporter spied him and quick- ly informed the Hughes headquarters managers. Directly, Crossett, one of Mr. Hughes’ secrétaries, hurried down and piloted Mr. Fairbanks into the pres- ence of Mr. nughes. It was their first meeting since their nomination and they talked behind closed doors for moré than an hour. “Mr. Fairbanks and I had a very pleasant chat,“ was all Mr. Hughes would say. | ‘There is nothing I can say of our conference,“ said Mr. Fairbanks, on leaving the Hughes headquarters. I Shall have no statements to make until after formal ceremonies of notification and the speeches of acceptance by Mr. Hughes and myself.“ Elihu Root called on Mr. Hughes for the first time yesterday and talked with him for upward of two hours. Neither Mr. Hughes nor Mr. Root would say anything about their talk, but much importance was attached to the visit by Mr. Hughes’ supporters. One Republican, closely allied with the pre-convention presidential boom for Mr. Hughes, declared that if Mr. Hughes should be elected Blihu Root would be offered the secretaryship of state.

LOUIS has, perhaps, a more direct and keener concern in Mexican affairs than any other American trade center. It has rail cofinection with that coymtry to the capital and water route to the Gulf coast points. For years the manufacturers and jobbers of St. Louis have been building up their interests down there and have extensive lines of trade es- tablished. Those interests mean millions of dollars annually during normal times, with constant increase as the trading powers of Mexico expanded.

GRAHAM, Manager. 2 4 DAVID Be NICHOLSON GROCER Co. Prompt Deliveries tiverywhere Established 73 Years “4843"’ four years ago, the volume of business between St. Louis and the republic to the South naturally has been shrink- ing at a lively rate. Now it is virtually extinct. and will so remain until ad- justment of -differences takes place, either through defeat of the Mexicans in war or by peaceful means the nature of which has yet to appear. For St. Louis it is an issue the settlement of which cannot come too quickly, for a strictly business reason. From the standpoint of sentiment St. Louis is on exactly the same basis as the balance of the country. Her full quota of national guard was among the first to report readiness for whatever service the coun- try might require of it, and the recruit- ing capacity was indicated in quick proffers of further military units when- ever they might be needed. Business Element Most Important. Extension of trade between St. Louis and South America is in the stage of rapid development. With a compara- tively few of its larger institutions that business has been established for years, just as they have been exporters to near- ly every quarter of the civilized world. ‘The past few years have brought con- stantly increasing additions to the list of such exporters, until it has come to be recognized by manufacturers and jobbers in every part of the country that St. Louis was the city to reckon with in American competition. It is just now impracticable to strengthen commercial relations with Mexico. They are probably disturbed for a long while, even though war with that country may be avoided, or, if pre- cipitated by the ignorance and selfish- ness of the leaders down there, made short, sharp and decisive in favor of the United States. Meantime, what is tem- porarily lost in that direction may be more than overcome through intelligent and aggressive campaigning with the countries to the south of her. Trade With South America. The best indication of what South America is able to buy, an authorita- tive writer pointed out recently, is what she has bought in normal times. The total of imports by those countries from all the world from 1900 to 1913 {increased from $318,000,000 to $1,042,000,000, or 228 per cent, which compares with an increase of 107 per cent in imports of the United States and of 100 per cent in the trade of the entire world so far as it appears in statistical form. The population grew from 38,000,000 to 55,600,000, an increase of 45 per cent, comparing with a 28 per cent increase in the United States. The imports of South America in 1913, the most recent normal year, averaged $18.68 portance. The manufacturing and commercial concerns of St. Louis are wholly compe- tent to take advantage of every favor- able opportunity and combatting the un- favorable ones, and the number of such institutions is being steadily multiplied. Among the recent additions is the Elder Manufacturing Co., with George 8. El- der as president. This company was or- ganized April 1 last, with a capital of $1,300,000. It purchased all the factories, good will, trademarks, merchandise and raw materials on hand of the Ferguson- McKinney Manufacturing Co. and set out to specialize on men’s furnishing goods. It has four plants in this city, employing approximately 300 persons, and with a weekly capacity of 18,000 dozen garments. The company’s main office and distributing plant are located at Thirteenth street and Lucas avenue, as is also its salesrooms. The business taken over by the Elder company is among the oldest in St. Louis, and with the new blood and increased capital it has become one of the leaders of its in- dustries. Its product is sold as far East as New York City and west to the Pa- cific Coast. It has personal representa- tives, in every state in the Union ex- cept those in New England. The com- pany intends, as far as it is within its power, to advance St. Louis above third. its present rank, as a shirt market. A Great Shoe Concern. The McElroy-Sloan Shoe Co., another of the concerns which is adding to the name and fame of St. Louis, is the Western department of the Craddock- Terry Co. of Lynchburg, Va., one of the oldest and most successful shoe manu- facturing concerns in the United States. W. F. McElroy, its general manager, has for years been closely idéntified with the St. Louis shoe trade, as has W. M. Sloan, general manager of the sales de- partment. The company has six large specialty factories, each devoted to the exclusive manufacture’ of a certain line of shoes. Two of these are in St. Louis and one in Louisiana, Mo., the others being in Lynchburg. The combined out- put is about 15,000 pairs daily. The Bil- like factory of the company, in St. Louis is employed on misses“ agd child- ren’s high-grade shoes, which are sold in practically every city and town of consequence in the country. The fac- tories are now all running at full ca- pacity and the company has for some years shown constant growth in vol- ume of annual busingss. ness of the Lamson company, the home office of which ts Boston.

It saves time, reduces overhead in handling money, mall and merchandise, and these are the first considerations in every successful business. Retail es- tablishments doing business worth while have long since declared the system in- dispensable. An industry of real consequence to St. Louis is the plant of Crowder Bros., 2018 Locust street, where is manufactured automatic sprinklers and automatic alarm valves, which the company has installed and is daily installing not only in this city, but at many points through- out the country. It is entirely automatic with the precision of a watch and there- fore ever ready for the protection of life and property against fire, with an ample supply of water to extinguish an incipient blaze. It at once also turns in an alarm that summons the fire de- partment, so that the danger is reduced to a minimum. Its efficiency is attested by insurance companies, which lower rates wherever it is installed from 60 to 80 per cent. World’s Greatest Raw Fur Center. To Funsten Bros. St. Louis is indebted for the distinction and the profit’ at- taching to the foremost raw fur market of the world. Until less than a year ago this honor belonged to London, where formerly all Alaskan sealskins had to be sent for dressing, dyeing and dis- posal. Now not only London, but Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Petrograd and Rome come to St. Louis to buy their share of the United States Government’s an- nual seal catch, for it is here that they are now put in readiness for the market instead of at London, which had to yield to Funsten Bros. its long-held se- cret system of treatment of the skins. The periodical auction sales of raw furs held in St. Louis are the greatest and most successful in the world. The constructive influence of credit insurance is being fully demonstrated by the American Credit Indemnity Co. of St. Louis. The service rendered by this system consists not alone in the large} sums of money it distributes to the advantage of the policy holders, but po- tentially it exerts a wholesome and help- ful influence in strengthening and reg- ulating credit, preventing waste, and in the conduct of mercantile affairs — ally. It protects that part of a business which represents the frultage of the combined efforts of a wholesale mercan- tile organization, the accounts. t re- per capita, which compare with $17.94 per capita importations by this country, $8.85 in Central America, $6.02 in Mexico, $6.86 in Japan, $1.27 in China, $1.89 in India, less than $3 in Asia as a whole and less than $5 in Africa. There are no definite statistics of South American per capita wealth, but if there were it is believed that there would be an end to the foolish policy of belittling it. There are, in fact, some indications that it is even greater than most of the intelligent guesses at it. Heretofore this coun- try has been handicapped in the race with European competitors because of the scant supply of American capi- tal and banking facilities in South America, but that drawback is not going to exist in future, according to financial authorities. These facts and sug@estions are given for the purpose of enlisting the earnest and intelligent attention of St. Louis in that vast and developing trade field while temporary with- drawal from Mexico is compulsory. There is far greater need for raw materials from that section of the world now than at any previous time oe owing to-the enforced interruption of trade facilities with Europe, and it 197 1 is regarded by capable observers as TELEPHONES: a certain that even after peace is re- J Forest 2802 Forest 2804 ** CARE Gir | stored in Europe there are going to Forest 2803 Delmar 2574 7 4 SPAGHETTI be embargoes which will seriously « SPAG * interfere with getting those materials ZELLER BROS. e CATERING CO.

Commerce Commission was illumi- nating to a surprising degree as to the business condition in the United States, as reflected by earnings of the railways. They are peculiar in that no money is to be made unless the volume of traffic is large, and this cannot be the case unless the country is moving commodities, which means business of a general nature. The commission figures, @wnich are offi- cial and accurate, show that the gross revenues of the ratflroads for the year will largely exceed $3,000,- 000,000 and the net income easily reach $1,000,000,000.

The reduction in the number of troops slaughtered, according to latest advices, , ig gratifying, but it merely mitigates the horror without diminishing the indignation aroused by the treacherous attack How can we avoid punishing the men guilty of this foul deed? We are attempting to punish Villa and his marauders for deeds less foul than this, because these were done by irresponsible bandits, while this was an act of an officer and troops of the de facto Government under in- troops moving in any direction except towards the border. The massacre was done-while our Government was negotiating with the de facto Government. Secretary Lansing’s note declaring the purpose of the United States to punish crime against Americans and suppress murderous raiders as- sorted our intention to ch@stise those who in- terfered with our purpose. We must chastise those responsible for this murderous attack. We must hold the de facto Government responsible for this hostile act per- formed in the most villainous manner unless there fs an immediate disavowal and pledge of reparation. The lives of neither American civilians nor soldiers will be safe anywhere in Mexico if we do not act vigorously and effectively to punish and put an end to such conduct. We should not blind ourselves to the conse- quences of undertaking to put down with force the treachery, violence and disorder in Mexico which menace American peace, life and pros- perity. We must be prepared to go as far as it is necessary to obtain permanent peace and safety. The quicker it is done the better—the less the cost in life and money. Humanity urges swift and thorough work when the task is undertaken. We should, however, clarify our minds as to the purpose and end of the work. We should lay aside thoughts of glory, conquest or acquisi- tion. It is an unpleasant and arduous task undertaken to remove intolerable conditions in a neighboring state and to restore law and order and adequate republican government to a dis- tracted, wretched people. It is a work in behalf of civilization, not for aggression or gain. Fighting for honor and peace, let us keep honor clean and accomplish a lasting peace—not the peace of conquest, but the peace of friend- ship founded upon service to the Mexican people. BUY A FLOWEB! We did not take much notice of Mother's Day“ recently, as far as the wearing of flowers was con- cerned. That was sentimental. But today and Sunday are Flower Days“ with a very practical object. Every flower offered and sold by the Jewish young ladies on these days, in St. Louis and other American cities, will add to the fund for the relief of the millions of Jews suffering on account of the war, in the devastated countries of Europe. Let us buy these flowers, knowing that in so doing we are helping to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and relieve the afflicted. It is a part of the inevitable duty laid on us by the great war. = | Ve . FOREST PARK’S NATURAL THEATER. The principal item of expense in the open-air production of the “Pageant and Masque of St. Louis” and more recently of “As You Like It,” was the installation of stage and auditorium equip- ment, says President John H. Gundlach of the St. Louis Pageant Drama Association, in a letter to Mr. Kinsey of the Public Service Board. Mr. Gundlach, accordingly, suggests that the city undertake the: improvement of the nat- ural theater in Forest Park to adapt it perma- nently to the use of spectators and ‘those who take part in productions. With this plan carried into effect, the preliminaries of al freaco enter- tainments of all sorts would present but a slight problem, and production costs would be reduced to a minimum Any improvement of the kind ought, of course, to be of the most substantial character, ‘The audi- torſum seats should be built of concrete and thé dressing rooms for actors so designed as to com- bine artistic and durable features. In short, the construction would be along the lines of the stadia of the universities, or with a little refinement in design of the Greek thiedters of some institutions of r ement the important contribution na- turs has already made toward an open-air theater among the plans for municipal improvement to which St. Louis is irrevocably committed. The first thing to do is to prepare detailed plans and obtain an estimate as to the probable cost. 2 NEW MOTOR MERGER FAILS. . ‘The new attitude of the business world toward ‘centralization and consolidation in industry has perhaps had no illustration as striking as the } failure of the proposed motor car merger. made considerable progress. Tlie,General Motors with resources spread out, with an organization vet made effective and with an insufficient Combination in automobile plants has already thetic and e business thought — on the plan. Its very failure is a reason for in- creased confidence in continued stability. Prob- ably the end of the war, looked for within the next 18 months, will not bring the changes alarmists predict. But business preparedness should be well advanced for inn such changes as it may bring. Law and the discovery that in forming huge combines a point may be reached where unwield- iness offsets the economies made possible by centralization have, it may be believed, ended the golden age of the trust makers. The trust busters will have less to do in the future. How an unwise expenditure of the mill tax money might exert an influence on future bond issue referendums is pointed out by the Real Estate Exchange. ’ Discernment is shown by the éxchange’s con- clusion. Votes on borrowing money for public betterments often reveal an opposition so im- pervious to argument and so little explained by alleged demerits of the particular project involved as to seem stubborn and upreasoning. Doubtless it is due to a latent distrust of officialdom general- ly caused by just such unfortunate exhibitions of irresponsibility as has been given since the first installment of the delinquent mill tax was paid. The members of the co-called “Mayor’s Con- ference” insist that the money shall be kept in- tact and no expenditures of any sort from it authorized until fhe public judgment as to its disposition is ascertained by a series of hearings. This is a splendid suggestion. The raid on the newly received funds should be instantly halted. The Board of Estimates and -Apportionment should retrace its steps and reconsider its late recommendations. Public discttipion’ will bring out the attractiveness of the plan for free bridge terminals or other plans looking to a wige, bene- ficial utilization of the fund. As the real estate men say, if the city administration cannot be trusted with this $1,839,205, who will vote to trust it with the proceeds of the suggested $10,000,000 in new bonds it is n to isane? = = „ As Democratic Presidents do not wear whiskers the powerful influence of the barber shops may work into the campaign. = & * '-~ - CALLING OUR AVIATOBS.

By Charlotte Rumbold. Suffrage planks in the platforms of all the po- litical parties! some devoted and earnest sufffrage workers think it means the beginning of the end of the four-generation-long struggle for the privilege ‘of political self- expression. And there are some unnatural women low- minded enough to think it means three cheers for the poor—and nothing more., Like the working- man vote, the woman vote has grown too powerful to be ignored. It probably means that here is the beginning of woman suffrage as a political issue. Always the friendly .political advisers have insisted and warned the women to insist that yotes for wom- en was an ethical and educational question, not a political one. To the women themselves, it has been sometimes a puzzle, sometimes a hardship, that in order to win the privilege of registering a political opinion you had to deny having one. Suffragists, as suffragists, have long been de- prived of the proud satisfaction of being out and out either Democratic or Republican. They have had, besides, to declare that ‘as stffragists they were neither prohibition nor anti-prohibition, pre- paredness advocates nor pacifists. Not because prohibition and pacifism are not ethical and edu- cational questions, but because they are political questions, though both strenuously deny it and both repudiate both the suffrage and anti-suffrage But on June 7 in Chicago, the National Woman’s party threw its hat in the ring, and the price tag thereon is fifty-fifty. This is the situation as the Woman's party sees {i 21 3 A an 8 ot y 2 8 7 his 4s, SRLS ea * paint 5 W 5 vt 4 ; . 287 be pain 1 a o> LIP, tm? 75 8 * * ee SE. 7 a* Ve fe > 4 2-4 A .* 2 75 * ‘= Shee 2 1 4 4 — . * 5 1 . 7 A * ae . 4 os * he * * ¥ 2 > SM 4 em 4 2 et + — — * * 1 . = aw r ae" . . 2 x oats SRA is tts Pe. 5 1. . 4 Bees 7 SP. * on > on oS 8 2 ca eam ak a is = WHO GOES THERE? 9 “A FRIEND!“ it gets like putty. using that, wash wi Gee ras 8185 e —— — p ———jrC? . — AN A — — — gy Oa — — — — — — P 1 ˙ A gm a me JUST A MINUTE CRUSHED PANATELA, O, Luella, oratery is not what it was of yore; After hearing it a little, people scramble for the door. Did you ever go, my dearie, to the City Club at noon? There you have an indication what is coming pretty soon.

Let him quietly deliver something that he has to say, And the City Club will hear him through the middle of the day. " Revolutionary? Truly. Still, my dear, it had to come. No one wants to hear him carol, nor to see him wag his thumb. } Let him hold his hands beside him, throw the muffler on his voice, Work his wit and not his muscles, and the diners will rejoice. a All they want is information —only that and nothing more, Neither any acrobatics, nor to hear the fellow roar. Massachusetts put off mobilization for a day in order to cut $2000 worth of hay on the parade ground. We haven't heard from our Missouri parade ground, and do not know whether the hay was saved or not. However, it is probably lost. It gakes something more than a few bales of hay to come be- tween Missouri and the immediate necessity for rallying around the flag. Let us hope that the first victims of the four bat- tle cruisers and three superdreadnoughts voted by _ Congress will not be Republican leaders whose hearts may not be equal to seeing the Democrats embrace that opportunity. — ——— Our notion of something that will not sell any where in Europe after the war is Roumania’s ex- planation why she didn’t get into it and some Greek’s story of what Greece suffered.

In the arsenal we got three times more money for our blankets than we ever had obtained before. I have had some hard days in my life (continued grandmother), but I never parted with the silver dollar and here it it around my neck. Oh, how sad it is that the green sod is over that good man. “Sad, sad indeed,” assented all, old and young, whenever grandmother told the story. Bozema Nemcova is notable both as a poet and fiction writer. “Grand- mother” is tze simple story of a Bohemian peasant woman. Although it is an exceedingly long story, and quite without any dramatic episodes, it is so exquisite a human tale that the reader’s only regret is that it is not longer. One may search in En- glish literature in vain, rich as it is, to find a book more wholly tender and beautiful. (Copyright by Julius W. Muller.) A Part of Perfection.

By Sophie HREE women, a mother and two T daughters, not long ago, in the Hast, were sent to a hospital and held for observa- tion.

Food was brought to : week them by a relative E IRENE LOEB. who was not allowed admission. When discovered the mother incongruously wore a sunbonnet in the sunless confine. It is alleged that the mother was de- mented. Doubtless the daughters were in a similar condition. The chief aim of the trio seemed to be to shut out all sunlight from penetrating their abode on account of their grief for the father and husband. How perfectly foolish! I could not help reflecting that while this is an extenuating case and entirely abnormal, yet how many so-called nor- ‘mal people shut out the sunlight in their lives over the loss of some one or some- thing.

Pretty soon Bennie Dog heard Tommie Cat me-ow outside. He opened the door. “I can’t go swimming this morning,” he said. 1 have to stay at home and urn the cream.” e Tommie Cat knew that butter was made from cream, so he said: “Bennie Dog, I will help you make that but- ter. If there ie one thing I learned from being in Mr. Man's house it is the way the cook made butter. I have watched her many and many a time.” “All you have to de is to churn and churn,” said Bennie Dog,’ and I call it hard work when you want to go swimming.” “Well, now to show how. much I think of you, Bennte Dog,” said Tom- mie Cat, I will tell you what I will do for you. I will turn the churn handle while vou take a swim and your mother won't know a thing about it, because I can make butter just as well as anyone. I know all about how to churn.” ENNIE DOG looked at Tommie — Cat, but he looked so good- natured and innocent he was sure there could be no trick about this. So off went Bennie Dog down to- ward the river. Tommie Cat watched him out of sight, and then he ran to the churn and lifted the cover. He dipped in one paw and tasted “My! that is good.” By and by the cream was so low in the. churn that Tommie Cat had to get in to reach it, and the next thing he knew he heard a noise; he poked his head up a little way out of the churn and there stood Bennie Dog's mother in the doorway. Down went. Tommie Cat into the bot- tom of the churn, hoping Madam Dog would go upstairs and take off her bon- net, but she didn't. she came right over to the churn. “Now, where can that lazy Bennie Dog have gone. she said. “I'll have to do the churning myself. but T'll see to him when he comes back.“ Madam Dog took hold of the handle and began to churn, and Tommie Cat thought all the bricks in the world were being thrown at him. Mee, me-ow, tre-ow!"’ he howle:l, Madam Dog droppéd the handle and ran out of the house, thinking . were after her. Bennie Dog was just coming in, and when he saw his mother looking so frightened he began to run, too. j it ehurn and ran, too, and as he; covered from her fright in a minute or two, and she looked closely at the little white line that was on the ground where Tommie Cat had run alohg. “It is cream.“ she said, running into the house and looking into the churn. Empty.“ she said, and then she ran to the door and called to Bennie Dos. Bennie Dog came in with his tail very limp and a scared look on his face, for he knew pretty well’ what had hap- pened. “You left Tommie Cat aloné with the cream while you went swimming, didn't you?” she said, looking at Bennie Dog in a way that make him tremble. “He said he would turn the handle while I went for a swim,’ whined Ben- nie Dog. He didn't get time to explain any more, for his mother reached for a lit- tle switch behind the clock. “Mother always knows everything.“ sighed Bennie Dog a little later, as he ate his dinner standing up. “I would just like to know how she knows 80 4 F everything born in a single hour even were allowed to multiply, un- checked by death there would soon be no foothold on all the earth for man.

LOOKING THEM OVER LD MAN D Bay John 5 — OPE || More About the “Pinch” Hitter. Thus, when a manager sends in Johnny Tobin, or some other bench- warmer, to bat for Eddie Plank, he makes the move through a condition of pleased expectancy that the sub- stitute will make a base hit. In other words, he HOPES the pinch guy will come through with a safety, But what we would like to know is this: Is HOPE also connected with reaso or closely related to facts and ‘figures? We are sometimes tempted to believe not. For, where is the reason fer believing that Lavan (.196), if rushed to bat in a pinch, would hit better than Johnson (290 that Tobin (.218) would outhit Plank (.241), or that Hartley (.214) or Severeiqg (.210) could “Geliver’ more surely than the better hitting regulars whom they are asked to displacet It takes a Bo, to make sub- eee 0 this sort, not reason.

OLD ELI, LOWERING MARK MADE IN 86 Crimson Crews Win Three Races at New London in Decisive Fashion. How Harvard Defeated Yale in Three Races NEW LONDON, Conn., June 4.— Harvard beat Yale in three races in their dual regatta here yester- day as follows: FRESHMAN EIGHT, 2 MILES. JUNIOR VARSITY EIGHT, 2 MILES. VARSITY EIGHT, 4 MILES, Barre „ 20m. 2s. Y 7 race was a new course record. The old mark of 2m. 10s. was set by Yale in 1888. ) — ——— A — — RE NEW LONDON, June 241.— Harvard “swept the Thames” by beating Yale in three eight-oared shell races yes- terday. The two-fold triumph of the crimson in the freshmen and junior varsity races in the morning culmi- nated in a thrilling victory in the varsity race in the afternoon, a race in which the Harvard eight defeated Yale by four lengths and rowed to a new record of 20 minutes and 2 seconds. This wiped out the record of 20 minutes 1) seconds, which withstood all assaults until today, since it was established by the Yale eight of 1888. The losers’ time today was 20 min- utes 7 seconds. The crimson began the day in aus- picious fashion by winning a sensa- tional victory over the Yale cubs, boatload which went to the line favorite and which, after leading for a mile and three-quarters was rowed down and beaten by a spurt as .brilliant as ever crew made on the historic Thames. Freshmen Record Broken. The Harvard youngsters bided their time and sprinted with the finish in sight. They crossed the line a full léngth ahead of the Yale cubs in 9 minutes 36 3-5 seconds, breaking the record of 9:37 1-5 made by Yale in 1906. In the junior varsity race Harvard led from the gun and never was in danger, winning by almost a full th in 10 minutes 25 seconds, as — Yale’s 10 minutes 27 seconds. With these two victories safelx tucked away. Harvard was prepared for a triumph in the varsity race, and.it was not disappointed. The first two miles chronicled the victory of the crimson, for after the Navy Yard had been assed Yale dropped further and further away. As a race it lacked the thrills of the morning struggles, for save in the first half-mile Yale was never closé enough to challenge the lead that the crimson gained with each successive stroke. It ceased to be a contest at the two-mile mark and verged on a procession. len Harvard was stronger and rowed better. Each stroke showed it and each stroke saw the crimson add to its advantage until at the end Yale was struggling along four lengths in the rear, hopelessly and decisive- ly beaten, but game to the core and determined to row out the last stroke if it took all night. Yale splashed badiv from the start and d in poorer form than any Yale crews of the last two or three years.

To add to the discomfiture of the Tale eight and to throw it further back, the port oars fouled the stakes at the two-mile mark. This cost the Blue half a length and put it two lengths in the rear instead of one and a half.

GIRLS: If you haven't met your ideal man yet you haven’t missed much. The Road to Success C ES M. SCWAB was talking in his native Loretto about suo- “I married on $6 a week,” he said, but I knew success would come, and before the winter was out I was mak- ing $6000 a year. “In everything—in war, in munition making, in blowing up powder factories: there's one road which leads straight to success. : “If, for example, you're a pl t. the road to success is the happy end- img.

I replied to him in our ‘Answers to Correspond- ents’ column as follows: “Old Subscriber—The finding of a spider in your copy of the Ente ‘was neither good luck nor bad. The spider was merely looking over our pages to find out what merchant was not advertising in them, so he could spin his web across his door and lead a free and undisturbed existence forever after.
