COST OF ROLLS ALSO UP J. B. Heydt Declares St. Louis Bakers Are Supporting Pro- posed Embargo on Foodstuffs. The American Bakery Co., composed of seven of the largest bakeries in St. Louls, today announced an advance in the price of bread and rolls and dough- nuts to a figure which will make the retail price 6 cents for a small loaf of bread, 12 cents for a large loaf and 15 cents a dozen for'rolls and doughnuts. These prices are the same as those put in effect several days ago by the McKinney Bakery, which is the most ‘ormidable competitor of the American Sakery Co. The bakeries in the Cg. are the Welle-Boettler, “reund, Hauck-Hoerr, Home, and St. Louis bakeries. In justification of the raise in price, Join B. Heydt, vice president of the American Bakery Co., called attention to the increased price and heavy ex- borts of wheat and flour to the Euro- pean countries now at war. American Bakery Hevdat, Condon Heydt declared that St. Louis bakers and grain men are co-operating with Congressmen Meeker and -Fitzgerald in un effort to have an embargo placed on the export of foodstuffs. He asserted that he believed the mea- jure would receive the support of a ma- jority of the American people and that Ipposition will come from speculators and Eastern capitalists handling war orders. An embargo on foodstuffs, he declared, would send wheat down to $1 a bushel by next spring and put bread back to 5 cents a loaf. “The official Government report on the 1916 wheat crop,’ Heydt pointed out, “shows 658,000,000 bushels, including 66,- 000,000 bushels of milling wheat held over from last year. Our domestic require- ments are more than 600,000,000 bushels. T Thus we should have a surplus of over 50,000,000 bushels, but, since July 1, 1916, we have exported 75,000,000 bushels to the allies and Holland, thus creating a shortage here. And the end is not yet, for the shipping goes on. “Twenty-three per cent of our. popula- tion raise all the grain,’’ Heydt contin- ued; ‘10 per cent raise the textiles, and 77 per cent are paying exorbitant prices hecause of heavy exports. The same conditions exist concerning corn and oats. “We believe that the 77 per cent suf- fering because of this condition are in favor of an embargo on foodstuffs, for the simple reason that it is a sure way to reduce t. cost of living, and will make a fight against the few specula- tors who are reaping a harvest in war orders. “J. P. Morgan & Co., for example, are the fiscal agents of the allies. All food- stuffs for the countries at war are paid for by that company. Their profits ac- crue from exchange, brokerage on Iin- voices and profits on war loans, sent in payment for such shipments. This is the class of people we expect to sce op- pose the embargo, for it would strike at their business.”’ PRESIDENT CONFERS WITH MISSOURIANS ON JUDGESHIP Talks Over Candidacy of Kimbrough Stone With Father, Senator Reed, Speaker Clark and Igoe.

ARCHBOLD, HEAD OF STANDARD | UIL GO., DIES AT 68 He Had Been Ill Less Than Two Weeks Following Appendi- citis Operation. WAS A NATIVE OF OHIO President of Standard Oil Co.., Ww ho Dies Following Operation | Ne ee et ee Associated With Rockefeller Since 1875—His Fortune Estimated at $30,000,000. TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Dec. 5.—John Dustin Archbold, president of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, died at his home here at 4 o’clock this morning, at the age of 68, leaving a fortune estimated at $30,000,000. Archbold’s death followed an illness of less than two weeks. He was oper- ated on for appendicitis Nov. 23 and fora time Seemed to rally. Later he suffered a relapse and the five physicians at- tending him decided that blood transfu- sion must be resorted to. Archbold s chauffeur volunteered as the subject of this operation and transfusion was per- formed on the afternoon of Nov. 29. Following the operation Archbold showed increased strength and his phy- isicians and members of his family ap- peared optimistic that the improvement would be permanent. His simple habits of life and rugged constitution buoyed up. the hope that he would survive. k‘uneral services will be held here Thursday afternoon, attended by rela- tives and many of his personal and business friends, including John D. tockefeller and William Rockcfeller, and their families. While. these services are taking place Tarrytown’'s various industries will suspend operation az a memorial to Archbold’s democracy the village of his residence. Archbold is survived by his widow, son, John F. Archbold of Thomasville. Ga., and two daughters, Mrs. M. M. Van Buren of Newport, R. 1., and Mrs. Armar D. Saunderson of Lyndhurst, England, Archbold'’s Wealth Estimated a About $30,000,000. John D. Archbold, financial and politi- cal genius of Standard Oil, and most in- timate business associate of John D. Rockefeller, was 68 years of age, a na- tive of Leesburg, O., born July 26, 184«. Archbold started life as a clerk in a Salem (O.) grocery, taking his first position when he was 13 years of age. When 16 he went to the Pennsylvania oi] fields, and in 1875 became connected with the Standard Oil Co., then in proc- ess of formation through the efforts of John D. and Frank Rockefeller, young Cleveland oil merchants who had ac- quired large holdings in Pennsylvania petroleum fields. Archbold, although but 27 years of age, was recognized as one of the best oll men in the business, and even then showed a genius for handling inoney and raising capital to exploit new petroleum enterprises, Archbold’s first independent en- terprise was the Acme Oil Co., the first concern to realize the value of the by- products of petroleum. For years he was president of this corporation, gradu- ally welding its affairs with those of the rapidly growing Standard Oil Co. Standari Vil Director. He was one of the first members of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Co., and later its vice president and treasurer. When the United States Su- preme Court decreed the dissolution of the Standard Oil companies, he became president of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. Always active in politics, with almest eratical Republican tendencies, Arch- bold became involved in a nation-wide political controversy when, several years ago, he admitted financial assistance had been rendered by the Standard Ot! Co., through himself to United States Senators Bailey of Texas and Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Representativs Sibley of Pennsylvania. The expose caused the political death of Bailey and Sibley, besides the retirement of United States Senator Foraker of Ohio. John D. Rockefeller tells in his “Ran, dom Reminiscences” of how he fifst met Archbold. dn stopping at a hotel, Rockefeller was struck by the fact that on the hotel register was written in large characters this inscription: JOHN D. ARCHBOLD 84.00 A BBL. “Four dollars a barrel’ was Arch- bold’s battle cry, and though he did not succeed in putting crude oll up to the figure named, he attracted the at- tention of Rockefeller. Archbold held, according to his own statement, that all the practices of the Standard Oil Co. were honorable, and, he believed, in conformity to law. Although Mr. Archbold was not par- ticularly conspicuous as a benefactor, he ‘made many large gifts, including a sum of $400,000 to Syracuse University in one lump, besides annual donations of smaller amounts. He was a church member and a liberal contributor to re- ligious work. He was married in 1870 to Miss Annie Mills of Titusville, Pa., and maintained a beautiful estate at Ce- dar Cliff, Tarrytown-on-Hudson, and a home at Southampton, Long Island. 242 NORWEGIAN SHIPS LOST Vessels Destroyed Since War Began Were Insured for $29,000,000. CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 5.—From the be- ginning of the war until November of this year, 242 Norwegian ships have been destroyed. These included 182 steamers, totaling 281,628 tons. The vessels were insured for 145,000,000 kroner (about $29,000,000), , JOHN D. ARCHBOLD. REPORTED 10 HAVE Result of Reputed Disagreement as to Asquith Heading War Council. LONDON, Dec. 5.—The Exchange Tel- egraph Co. says that War Secretary Lioyd-George has decided to resign. The resignation, it is said, was draft- ed after Lloyd-George received an inti- mation that Premier Asquith could not agree to the suggestion that the War- Council should be formed without the Premier at its head. The Press .-ssociation says the lobby believes Sir Edward Carson will not join the Cabinet. The Evening Star says: “The political crisis is over, so far as it is a trial of strength between Asquith and Lloyd- George. Asquith has won. There will be no resignations and a reconstruction of the Government will not take place. The failure of the cabal was due to the refusal of the Labor party to sup- port it. They would not support George’s plan on any terms and the plan therefore failed.’”’ The Westminster Gazette says Pre- mier Asquith has declined definitely a proposal for the formation of a war council of which he would not be a member, and other consequential changes which would have followed ac- ceptance of that proposal. Naturally, the next move remains for those mem- bers of the Cabinet who made the sug- gestion. Asquith’s Position. Asquith approved a smaller war coun- cil, the newspaper continues, but held the Premier necessarily must be chair- man of any such body. His attitude is said to be supported by Foreign Sec- retary Gray and most of his principal colleagues in the Cabinet. It is pretty generally conceded that ‘the resignations of all the Ministers are in Premier Asquith’s hands, and two or three of the political writers record persistent rumors that Asquith will re- sign today. The Daily News, the Daily Chronicle, the Daily Express and the Daily Mail speak of strong disagreements among the members of the Cabinet and indl- cate the likelihood that a settlement will prove difficult. Lloyd-George and his supporters are represented as de- manding more extensive alteratians in the Cabinet than seemed probable Sun- day night. According to the Dally Mail, they wish to rid it of Foreign Sec- retary Grey; Walter Rurciman, presi- dent of the Board of Trade; Reginald McKenna, Secretary of the Exchequer: Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade, and A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Admiralty. Premier Asquith said yesterday in the House: "'T desire to make it perfectly piain to the House and to the country that what- ever reconstruction of the Cabinet takes place, it involves no departure in any ‘shape from the policy already announced and pursued since the beginning of the war. If anyone encourages or entertains ithe idea that there is any question of a change of policy, I can assure them they are entirely mistaken.” ie Ministers, added the Premier, will continue to perform their duties. A mo- tion to adjourn until Thursday was car- ried, the Nationalists alone protesting.

NEW YORK, Jess Willard, world’s champion, and Georges Carpen- tier, heavyweight champion of Europe, have made a verbal agreement to box n 10-round, no-decision bout within the next two months, probably at Madison Square Garden. Promoter Tex Rickard is arranging to have the. contracts signed and has agreed to give $40,000 of the receipts to the French -war. relief fund. It was this prospective contribution which is credited with winning the con- sent of the French Government to give Carpentier the necessary furlough. The big French boxer has been in the army virtually since the outbreak of the war. Previously. he had turned down offers tc re-enter the ring, because it was im- possible to get the necessary permis- sion. The correspondence for the com- ing bout has been going on for several months and the promotion of the meet- ing almost entered the bounds of inter- national diplomacy. Rickard, who has gained puglisitic fame as the promoter of the Johnson- Jeffries, Nelson-Gans and Willard-Mo- ran bouts, with their record purses, falied in all his early attempts to bring the French and American champions to- gecther. It was not until he enlisted the aid of the members of one of the French rellef fund committees that the con- tract was made possible. Pressure was brought to bear upon the proper offi- Cials in France and their consent ob- tained for Carpentier to leave the army end the country for about three months. Rickard will have to pay Carpentier’s traveling and training expenses. The $40,000 has been put in the form of a bonded deposit and in return those interested in the fund have agreed to deliver Carpentier in this country within the next few weeks. In sporting manuals Willard’s weight is given as 250 and Carpentier’s as 170. When a youth Carpentier was the ban- tamweight champion of France. He has held every championship in France. He has been attached to the French aviation corps. In December last year he was decorated with the military cross for daring reconnalissances in an aeroplane. The fighter first was In the signal service of the French army, later became an automobile courier on the firing line and was assigned to the aviation corps in May, 1915. He took part as an aviator in the recent recap- ture of Fort Douaumont on the Ver- dun front.and won the military medal for gallantry in action.

There also was a first ap- proach at heckling on the part of the faction of woman suffragists which has opposed the President because of his failure to support a national suffrage amendment. After House and Senate had stood and cheered the President heartily and he had begun the reading of his ad- dress, members of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage in a gallery dropped over the rail a banner which they had smuggled in with them unde Miss Mabel Vernon's coat. It was yel- low, the suffrage color, and bore in bold letters the inscription: “Mr. Presi- dent, what will you do for woman suf- frage?’’ A page quickly snatched the banner. The President smilingly looked up from his manuscript, but continued his read- ing without hesitation or interruption. There was no responsive demonstration from suffrage supporters on the floor or in the galleries, and the inciden: passed off without further mark. A policeman took up his station near the women to see that they did not violate the rules of the House again. Statement by Women. The women gave out a prepared state- ment explaining that tnasmuch as the President made no reference to their cause in his address, they took that means of calling it to his attention. The President's address required leas than 18 minutes for reading. When he concluded applause was renewed, ‘n The President's address follows: Gentiemen of the Congress: In fulfilling at this time the duty laid upon me by the Constitution of communicating to you from time to time information of the state of the Union and recommending to your consideration such legisiative meas- ures as may be fudged necessary and expedient I shall continue the practice, which I hope has been ac- ceptable to you, of leaving to the reports of the several heads of the executive departments the elabora- tion of the detailed needs of the public service and confine myself to those matters of more general pub- lic policy with which it seema nec- essary and feasible to deal at the present seasion of the Congress. I realize the limitations of time WASHINGTON, Dee. 5.—President Wilson’s address at the opening of the session of Congress today was wholly d mestic subjects, principally the problem of railway legislation. In the hall of the House, with Senators and Representatives assembled in joint session, President Wilson, in accordance with the custom he began at the opening of his term, read his address devoted to do- The President not only renewed his recommendation for legislation tu prevent a nation-wide railway strike or lockout b fore there has been op ortunity for investigation, but defended it against the attack of organize:! ibe as nothing arbitrary or unjust, and is the sori: safeguarding by society of the necessary process of its very life.’’ Aside from recommendations for the passage of the Porto Rico Govern ment bill, the corrupt practices bill and the Webb bill to legalize American collective selling agencies abroad, the President’s address was devoted wholly The only feature which had not been forecast was elimination of the proposal that Congress give explicit approval to consid eration by the Interstate Commerce Commission of an increase in freight rates to meet additional expenditures by the railroads caused by the operation The President took the position today that ‘‘the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to grant an increase of rates on the ground referre: to is indisputably clear and a recommendation by the Congress with regard to such a matter might seem to draw in question the scope of the commis sion’s authority or its inclination to do justice when there is no reason to which the suffragists joined. No attempt was made to detain the women as they left the gallery. Capito’ police said they were without orders to take any action except to prevent any further incidents of like nature. After leaving the gallery the militants were met by leaders of their faction and con- gratulated upon the exploit. The women were headed by Miss Alige Paul, chairman of the Congressional Union. Members said the flag had been put up by Mra. John Rogers of New York, Mra: Florence Bayard Hilles of Wilmington, Del.; Mra. William Colt of New York, Mrs. Anna Lowenberg of Philadeiphia, Dr. Caroline Spencer of Colorado, Miss Mabel Vernon of Ne- vada, Miss Mildred Gtibert of California and Mrs. Townsend Scott of Baltimore. Mrs. Hilles is the daughter of former United States Ambassador Bayard to Great Britain. Bryan on the Floor, William J. Bryan and most of the Cabi- net, occupying reserved spaces on the floor, led in the demonstration for the President, which was prolonged and noisy. In the galleries women of the Cabinet joined in the hand clapping. Th the diplomatic galleries representatives of many of the embassies and legations® were interested spectators. The galleri@ were packed when the President, ed by the usual committee, walked briek- ly into the chamber and took his place at the clerk's desk, manuacript in hand. He was forced to wait while the demon- stration went on. Wave after wave of shouts swept the chamber until Speaker Cla pounded for order. The President smiled and bowed.

There is nothing arbitrary or unjust in it unless it be arbitrarily and unjustly done. It can and should be done with a full and scrupulous regard. for the interests and liber- ties of all concerned as well as for the permanent interests of society it- self. Three matters of capital impor- tance await the action of the Senate which have already been acted upon by the House of Representatives: the bill which seeks to extend great- er freedom of combination to those engaged in promoting the foreign commerce of the country than is now thought by some to be legal’ under the terms of the laws against monopoly; the bill amending the present organic law of Porto Rico; and the bill proposing a more thor- ough and systematic regulation of the expenditure of money. in elec- tions, commonly called the corrupt practices act. I need not labor my advice that these measures be en- acted into law. Their urgency lies in the manifest circumstances which render their adoption at this time not only opportune but necessary. Even delay would seriously jeopard the interests of the country and of the Government. As to Election Expenses. Immediate passage of the bill to regulate the expenditure of money in elections may seem to be less nec- essary than the immediate enact- ment of the other measures to which I refer; because at least two years will elapse before another election in which Federal offices are to be filled; but it would greatly relieve the public mind if this important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dangers to the public morals of the present method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand clear under recent ob- servation and the methods of ex- penditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experience; and a delay would have the further very serious disadvantage of postponing action until another election was at hand and some special object con- nected with {t might be thought to be In the mind of those who urged it. Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and without sus- picion of partisan purpose. I shall not argue at length the desirability of giving a freer hand in the matter of combined and con- certed effort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of building up our export. trade. That enterprise will presertly, will immediately assume, has indeed al- ready assumed, a magnitude unpre- cedented in our experience. We have not the necessary instrumen- talities for its prosecution; it is deemed to be doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws. We should clear away all legal obsta- cles and create a basis of undoubt- ed law for it which will give free- dom without permitting unregulated license. The thing must be done now, because the opportunity is here and may escape us if we hesitate or delay. Porto Rico Legisiatton. The argument for -the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of its people are not just. We have created expectations of ex- tended privilege which we have not satisfied. There is uneasiness among the people of the island and even a suspicious doubt. with regard to our intentions concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily remove. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particular. We ought to do it at once. At the last session of the Congress a bill was passed by the Senate which provides for the promotion of vocational and industrial education which is of vital importance to the whole country because it concerns a matter, too long neglected, upon which the thorough industrial prep- aration of the country for the crit- ical years of economic development immediately ahead of us in very large measure depends. May I not urge its early and favorable consid- eration by the House of Representa- tives and its early enactment into law? It contains plans which affect all interests and all parts of the coun- try and I am sure that there is no legislation now pending before the Congress whose passage the country awaits with more thoughtful ap- proval or greater impatience to see a great and admilrable thing set in the Way of being done. There age other matters already advanced to the stage of conference between the two Houses of which it is not necéssary that I should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement concerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them. Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, probably the last occasion I shall have to address the Sixty-fourth Congress, I hope that you will per- mit me to say with what genuine pleasure and satisfaction I have co- operated with you in the many Measures of constructive policy with which you have enriched the ijegis- lative annals of the country. It has been a privilege to labor in such company. I take the liberty of con- gratulating you upon the completion of a record of rare serviceableness and distinction. | Light Housekeeping GRAPE-NUTS the ready-to-eat food. grocer finds its two readiest servants in INSTANT POSTUM the ready-to-serve food-drinh A package of each from the cream and you have at hand a rich supply of nourishment ready for use. 1 and and a little milk or TWO AMERICANS REPORTED KILLED IN CHIHUAHUA CITY Report Also Declares That the Ger- man Vice-Consul Met Same Fate at Villistas’? Hands. CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex., Dec. 5.— The new Governor of Chihuahua, Gen. Arnulfo Gonzales, was installed today. The city is being policed, houses searched for looted goods and Consti- tutionalist cavalry is in. pursuit of Vil- la’s bandits, whose exact whereabouts are unknown. Villa’s administration here was a reign of terror. Municipal President Holguin and eight prominent citizens were ex- ecuted. About 40 Chinamen were Slain and other foreigners were killed or in- jured. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—State Depart- ment advices today included a dispatch from El Paso containing an unconfirmed report from Chihuahua that German Vice Consul Carlos Ketelsen and two Americans had been killed by Villa bandits. No official confirmation of the report was received. The report says an unidentified Amer- ican woman was carried away by the marauders, but says she was not a daughter of George Elmendorf, as was unofficially reported. The Chinese Charge called at the State Department and asked for information as to Chinese subjects in Chihuahua. American railroad men in Chihua- hua are reported safe and were un- disturbed by the Villa forces, The German Consul at Manzanillo is re- ported as having been kidnaped by bandits and held for ransom, The report on the kidnaping of Consul Vogel at Manzanillo indicated that the American naval commander had coii- sidered landing marines to effect his rescue, but decided not to do so be- sul’s captors to kill him. The ransom asked for was reported to have been $10,000, Consul Vogel was an old man who has lived in Manzanillo for many years. cause such action might cause the Con-: Tra Pe ey | TOBE SPEEDED UP HE black dotted line indicates the Teutonic ad- vance and the shaded portions in the rear of it shows the position of Rumania—over one half now—held by the allied German forces.

Besides railroad legislation there is strong public de- mand for some legislative action to curb the soaring prices of food. And in ad- dition to appropriation measures, which always take time and must be passed, there are other issues to be dealt with. The Senate has the immigration biil, the corrupt practices bill, to further limit campaign contributions and ex- penditures; the Webb bill, to grant authority to domestic corporations for maintenance of collective foreign selling agencies; conservation and other meas- ures. An investigation into expendi- tures of the recent national campaign is proposed, and Senator Owen of Okla- homa will introduce a joint resolution directing that such an inquiry be insti- tuted at once. Hasty conferences of House leaders convinced a majority that a ‘‘speed-up”’ program, advocated by Speaker Clark, will be adopted, with only slight changes at the most. Majority Leader Kitchin joined with the Speaker in declaring that the usual long Christmas holiday should be dis- pensed with and an earlier meeting hour than noon, probably 10 o’clock, be set. As the committees virtually completed their work in the last session there is no reason, it is pointed out, why the morn- work. Charies L. Holman, president of the Laclede Gas Light Co., was placed un- der arrest this morning by a sergeant- at-arms of the Board of Aldermen, on an attachment issued yesterday, because of his failure to appear as a witness before the committee of the board to be questioned in an investigation of the price of gas. He immediately went before Presiding Judge Reynolds of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, an action that had been pre- arranged, and was released on a writ of habeas corpus, returnable Dec. 14. Holman was summoned as a witness several weeks ago, when the board sought to investigate the earnings of the Laclede company. At that time tnere was no bill pending which would affect the company’s business, and Hol- man was sustained in his refusal to tes- tify by City Counselor Daues. A bill afterward was introduced to levy a tax of 5 per cent on the gross income of gas corporations and Holman again was summoned. When first summoned Holman based his refusal to testify on the contention that the power to fix the price of gas rests solely with the Missouri Public Service Commission, and that as the Board of Aldermen had no power to fix the rate it had no power to compel him to testify.

Harry Knapp, commanding the forces there. Eleven Dominicans were report- ed killed and six wounded, Capt. Knapp reported that the clash was caused by the resistance offered by Gov. Perez of San Francisco de Ma- coris when the Americans appeared for the purpose of establishing 4 military government. Perez, commanding a force of about 100 men, was driven from the city. Capt. Knapp reported that no further infor- mation was available, and that reports on Dec. 3, the date of filing his dis- patch, indicated that quiet prevailed throughout the republic.

PURPOSES OUTLINED Governor-Elect Says Way Must) Be Devised to Increase Revenue of State. — Gov.-elect Frederick D. Gardner today announced the personnel of the con- ference he has called for Friday morn- ing at the Planters Hotel to discuss the taxation situation in Missouri and to appoint committees to draft -revenue pills for introduction In the Legislature. He has included in his invitation sev- eral of the more prominent taxation experts in the State, representatives of puginess organizations, members of the Legislature, and representatives of other organizations. Republicans and Demo- crats are included in the list. Those in- yited to participate in the conference are: , Senators A. EH. L. Gardner of St. Louis County, Thomas R. Witledge of St. Mary's, Robert J. Mitchell of Verona, Charles F. Carter of Kirksville and John F. Morton of Richmond; Representatives Frank M. Harr of Kahoka, Ross E. Feaster of Windsor, Wilson E. Shouse of Bhelbina and George A. Auerswauld of De Soto; Noah W. Simpson of Labelle; James E. Boyd of Pals, former Speak- er of the Missouri House of Representa- tives; Secretary of State Cornelius Roach; E. M. Clendenning, secretary of the Kansas City Commercial Club; Clar- ence Howard, president of the Business Men's League; W. H. Bloomer of S8t. Louis, president of the Missouri Federa- tion of Commercial Clubs; F. W. McAl- lister, Attorney-General-elect; F. N. Judson; Prof. Isador Loeb of the Mis- gouri State University; E. K. Lov:, president of the Real Estate Exchange of St. Louis: James Y. Player, City Comptroller of St. Louis; John E. Swan- ger of Sedalia, former Secretary of Stat» and a candidate for the Republican ‘nomination for Governor this year; Wal- lace Crossiey of Warrensburg, Lieuten- ant-Governor-elect; Peyton Park, a :aw- yer of Clinton; Joseph Hauser, former president of the Central Trades and La- bor Union, and Moses Schoenberg. The call for the taxation conference was made by the Governor-elect after the publication in Sunday’s Post-Dis- patch of a review of the State’s finan- cial condition and an-reditor‘al sugges- tion that a taxation conference could accomplish’ much good. The need for remedial measures is. explained by the Governor-elect in the following letter, which he sent those invited to the conference: “Last week at my invitation a num- ber of men and women assembled in this city to consider the perplexing and complicated situation relative to bur State penitentiary. Their delib- erations were fruitful and resulted fn the adoption by those preesnt of tertain plans for the penitentiary and reform schools which we hope to have enacted into law at the next sen." sien of the General Assembly. “To put these plans into operation Is for the expenditure of nearly 2,000,000. Its revenues from all sources under our present system of tazation amount to approximately $5,600,000. Of this sum $3,000,000 is set aside for the public school fund and other educational purposes. This leaves but $3,600,000 to be used in the maintenance of the penitentiary and eleemosynary institutions, and in de- fraying the expenses of the adminis- trative departments of our State Government. “Experience has demonstrated, and it ig generally admitted that such a sum is wholly inadequate for such purposes in this, a Stgte containing three and a half million people. The amount of rev- tnue collected by this State in proportion ts taxable wealth is not more than one-third of that collected by other pro- Sressive states of this Union. “The conditions outlined herein bring us face to face with a crisis which must bé met, and presents problems which must be solved without delay. The. ip- ccming session of the Legislature is in Session for but a few weeks. Many im- portant questions will be presented. It has occurred to me that a conference of our citizens interested in the progress of our State, and more particularly in the question of taxation, might result in much good. Such a conference should be open to the public and the press, I Am persuaded that such a conference might make valuable recommendatjops t¢ the incoming Legislature; and might, through properly appointed committees, prepare revenue bills to be presented to the Legislature. “T append a list of those whom I Would like to sit as a ‘Revenue Commis- sion.’ Please accept and favor the pev- Ple with your advice. I call this con- ference for Friday morning, Dec. 8 at #:30, at the Planters Hotel, this city.

[ Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 5.—John = T. Barker, Attorney-General of Missouri, for the State, this afternoon closed the argument before the jury which has been trying Oscar D. McDaniel, Prose- cuting Attorney of Buchanan County, on the charge of wife murder. Follow- ing Barker’s address the case will be given to the jury.. Judge C. F. Strop, McDaniel’s chief counsel, finished his argument this morning. A large crowd attended the last day’s session of the trial. “T came here unknown to you men, and when your’ verdict is rendered I may ZO away, never again to see you on this earth again. There is no word nor act I have spoken or done but that I believe is honest and fair and patriotic to my country,’ said Barker. ‘“‘When I came here, gentlemen, I ex- pected to find a Prosecuting Attorney who would come and lay bare hi troubles to me. I was the Attorney- General and he was your Prosecuting Attorney... I expected, cent, to see him come to me and tell me all, so we might try him honestly and openly. “Found the Scene Set.” “But -.when I came here I found the scene and plot all set. I found the background and the stage prepared. They were all fixed. I had no co-opera- tion. the same game as all criminals play. There was nothing left out. It was as cvery common) felon would set’ the stage.” — As the Attorney-General got into his talk his voice trembled and he stepped closer to the jury. As he told the story of the murder, he crouched and his voice broke and he whispered to the jury. McDaniel did not attempt to prevent an inquest to determine the cause of the death of his wife, Strop told the jury, in concluding his closing argument this morning. It was grief that caused McDaniel to tell the Coroner an hour after his wife had died that he did not want to talk of an inquest then, and it was common sense, Strop said, that caused McDaniel to tell the same Coroner a day or so ‘later that he, McDaniel, believed he was the only witness who knew of any cir- cumstances surrounding the murder, and that an inquest would be unavailing at that time. “‘McDaniel was in perfect accord with the Coroner when he finally decided to hold an inquest,’’ Strop said. The Coroner had tegtified for the State that McDaniel requedted that he tell the newspapers he had cailed for an inquest When finally the Coroner concluded to hold one. Impressionabie, easily convinced per- sons, who used their imagination, was the way Strop characterized the neigh- bors who have testified they heard Mrs McDaniel’s voice in a scream at 10:3) o'clock the night of the murder. McDaniel sat, brushing the hair of his little daughter, Marion, with his hand for an hour after court opened. During arguinent of nis counsel about screams of cats in the McDaniel neighborhood, humorous situations caused the defend- ant to laugh aloud. Strop attacked the testimony of R. A. Hartley, the detective who testified Mrs. Me¢Daniel came to him and wanted her husband watched. “See here,”’ said Strop, holding an ad- vertising booklet showing Hartley and |his bloodhounds; ‘‘Hartley’s eye doesn't if he were inno-*‘ I found this defendant playing}: DECEMBER. 5, cee (CHEMUNG CAPTAIN TELLS HOW SHIP WAS TORPEDOED Says Shells Were Fired i American Vessel ‘Without Warning.”’ at VALENCIA, Spain, via Madrid, Dec. 5.—Capt. John T. Duffy of the American Steamship Chemung, which _ recently was sunk by a submarine off Cape Gata, Spain, said to the Associated Press today: “rt consider the. torpedoing of the Chemung absolutely unjust. We car- ried a general cargo worth $2,000,000, and had no contraband whatever. “Jacobsen, the third mate, was on the bridge. . He sighted the submarine at a distance he judged to be two miles. We received no warning or any signal. The submarine began firing. ‘‘The first shot missed the ship. The » Second struck the bow, shattering it. The Chemung hove to. The submarine approached and ordered the first offi- cer of the Chemung to come aboard with the ship’s papers. “After a brief inspection the marine approached and ordered the crew to take the boats, giving 10 min- utes for the purpose. The crew, with- out baggage, got into -two boats. “The submarine fired two shots and immediately afterwards ai torpedo struck the ship. The submarine then conducted the boats within five miles of the Spanish coast, where it left them. A little later the Spanish steamer Giner took them aboard and brought them to Valencia.”’ é Capt. Duffy will go to Madrid to make a complaint to the American Ambassa- dor, Joseph E. Willard. The American Consul at Madrid re- ported to the State Department, Nov. 29, that the Chemung was sunk by gun fire and a torpedo from an Austrian submarine. look into yours, does it? No. It looks to one ‘side. He can’t look straight at you. But look at the dogs. Why, men, they’ve got more honesty in them than Hartley’ s. They look: at you.’ “We don’t know who killed Mrs. Mc- Daniel; we can’t account for this hor- rible crime; neither can you fix the responaibility,’’ Strop said. trial is over Oscar D,. McDaniel will go out of office and he will do everything within his power to find the murderer of his wife. But we must not try to do it now. We must try to save this man from the clutches of an awful frameup.”’ Strop tried to show the regret of juries that have in the past convicted innocent men. “Great God, gentlemen of the jury, be cautious, be cautious,’’ he said. A human life is at stake. Do you want, upon flimsy circumstances, the word ef known liars and crooks, to send this 4man to the hangman's noose?” “If Gard told the truth, this prose- cution is ended,’’ Strop declared. He also said the State’s theory that another woman “‘was about to break up the McDaniel home” had been proven false by the evidence adduced. “Gossiping neighbors’’ were charged by Strop with having been the cause, in part, of the prosecution of McDaniel.

The heads of Missouri’s chief State in- stitutions of higher education, in a con- ference with Governor-elect Gardner at his office, 1821 Chouteau avenue today, presented figures showing that the State would owe these institutions, on Jan, 1, a@ total of $663,009. Gardner said this, together with short- ages in other directions, would leave the State, on Jan. 1, $2,000,000 behind in the payment of its approved obligations, He and the educators then discussed means of raising added revenue to make up the present deficiency and provide for the future. Gardner then told of plans which had been suggested by him previously for providing revenue, and which he was inclined to favor, and spoke first of the proposal to increase the collateral inheritance tax from 5 to 7% per cent, and to impose a tax of 2 or 3 per cent on all inheritances. Hill Favors Proposal. President Hill of the State university Spoke in favor of making:’these grad- uated taxes, the tax on large inherit- ances being at a heavier rate than on small ones. Gardner said the State Supreme Court had held a graduated tax unconstitutional, and that it would be useless to waste time in further tests. Dr. Hill said a 2 per cent tax on general inheritances would yield about $1,000,000 a year. Gardner said he would’ ask the Legis- lature for a; 3 per’ cent tax and would then accept .a‘reduction to 2 per cent if necessary. Gardner then suggested a corporation tax on gross receipts as a means of raising another $1,000,000 a year. “But we need $4,000,000," he said, and he then talked of other tax proposals, including theaters, picture shows, pool halls, to- bacco, an increase in saloon license charges, a State poll tax on all voters and an increase in the tax on oil from 12 to 2% cents a barrel. He spoke in favor of a mortgage rec- ord tax, which, he said, would net the State $350,000 a year. He said that of the present State revenue of $5,600,000 a year, education requires $3,000,000, and that the remain- ing $2,600,000 is not enough for the other needs of the State. He read figures te show that the per capita tax in Mis- souri was lower than in most other states. President Hill was the first of the heads of institutions to state the defi- ciency in the institution’s receipts from the State. He said the State woula fr the university, from its general revehue, $243,800, on Jan. 1, for salaries and ex- penses. The university, he sald, is bor- rowing mioney for its running expenses and is paying 6 per cent interest. The heads of the other institutions stated the amounts which would be duce to the institutions Jan. 1, as follows: Kirksville Notmal School,- $51,200; War- rensburg Normal, $275,000; Cape Girar- Lincoln Institute, $17,000. . The large amount due the Warrens- burg Normal is chiefly in a building appropriation. The main buliding was burned, and the Legislature appropriat-] ed $250,000 for a new building and $1,- 000 for equipment. Only $20,000 has been received for the building, and nothing for equipment. Warrensburg yoo eens Paying T Per All the weewil yp «her are getting needed funds by borrowing at 6 per cent, except the Warrensburg school, which has been paying 7. Lincoln Insti- tute has not borrowed money, but its requisitions have been discounted about 6 per cent by Jefferson City firms and banks. Gardner made a brief address to the educators on the question of taxation, and suggested that they aid him in ed- ucating the public up to the necessity for increased taxes in this State. Pro- Bressive states, he said, are getting away from the custom of sharing in the land and personal property taxes and. leaving the revenue from these sources to the counties and municipalities, have turned to increasing corporation and “privilege’’ taxes for revenue to run the machinery of the state. He cited California as an pa High Po Farm A ts Faw All the speakers vore raising t assessment on farm lands to full value, or nearly full value, but they agreed this would be hard to do, and even if accomplished woyld not afford relief jn leas than two yeats. Guy Chinn of Lin- coin Institute suggested a change in the law that would make taxes éollectible the same year they are asseased. He Said the present method of assessing in June and collecting in December of the following year resulted in loss of thou- sands of dollars because of assessed per- sons moving away.

In the suit of Albers against the city, in- volving the improvement of King’s high- way northeast (between Penrose street and Florissant avenue), the Court held that if the allegations of the defendant were true, a tax bill against property not abutting the street would be invalid, Young says. As in the case of King’s highway be- tween Haston avenue and Penrose street, the widening of the thoroughfare north of Penrose street was originally under- taken with the purpose of creating a boulevard under the provisions of the old charter, Young points out. Subse- quently the ordinance was repealed and another contemplating the assessmeni of benefits and damages according to the law governing the improvement of streets was passed. Young says that if pending suits, which were remanded by the Supreme Court for retrial, are pressed, it will be con- tended that tax bills against non- abutting property are invalid. Should that be decided, the, city could not col- lect tax bills for $52,966.53, representing the amount charged against nonabutting property, and would have to pay from municipal revenue that amount and also $18,009.06 as its own share of the cost of the improvement. The aggregate of these sums is what the city would have to pay into court, Young says, as a preliminary to taking possession of the property. “I cannot advise that this amount be paid into court,” Young says in conclud- ing his opinion. | THE iO TO BUY YOUR CHRIST- MAS GI of Diamonds. atches.

Many mothers, besides those of Ozark, Mo., have been afraid to\sleep at night for fear of being awakened by that dread croupy cough. Mrs. H. H. Givan and Mrs. J. J. Cave, both of Ozark. have found, in common with many other Missouri mothers, that a jar of VAPORUB in the hotse ie eures a night's sleep. vaPORUD: is the external treat- rub it over the throat ‘ing with a warm The warmth ‘re- that are tn- ‘addition, Vick's stimulates Bed at Night cation at night will, in almost every case, prevent a night attack. But let Mrs. Givan speak for her- self. She writes “I have used Vick's VAPORUB on my little girl for croup. I rubbed it on her chest and throat and it is just splendid, and I wasn't afraid to go to bed at night.” Mrs, Cave says: “I find VAPORUB the best thing I have ever used for colds, sore throat, croup and all kinds of skin troubles for children. I could not do without it now, as it saves calling a doctor.” The penetrative quality of Vick’'s makes it excellent also for inflam- mations of the skin, such as burns, bruises, itchings, piles and muscular soreness. In these cases, particularly in cases of burns it seems to draw out the inflammation and has a de- lightfully cooling effect. Three sizes, 25c, 560c or $1.00. The Vick Chemical Company, Greensboro, N. C. CHRISTMAS BAS DINNERS WILL COS MORE ThiS YEAR Post-Dispatch Will Need More Than $12,000 to Carry Out Festival Program. WIDER INTEREST SHOWN United Railways and Kinloch Telephone Co. Make Custom- ary Offer of Co-operation. CONTRIBUTIONS, Previously acknowlcdged Mrs. Anna Green, WCE S Bet The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival has become an educational institution of distinctive success and value to Bt. Louis, and its influence is steadily ex- tending to communities outside the city. The latter fact is made apparent in the liberal contributions to the fund 2y persons residing in Missouri and II. inois cities and towns. This year it was’ emphasized by the initial contribution of $1 by a Higgins- fille (Mo.) man. C. M. Hubbard, man- ager of the St. Louis Provident Asso- ciation, bears testimony as to the local influence of the festival/in arousing the generous impulses of the public. He Says that in recent years he has no- ticed a constantly growing number tft men and women who desire to aid in carrying comfort and happiness into des- olate homes and hearts in all seasons of the year. Many of these, he says, apply to the Provident Association for information as to fami@s in need of aid. This gratifying condition of affairs he attributes in largest measure to th2 operations of the Christmas Festival, and he suggests that this might be fur- ther developed into a clearing house of benevolent activities under direction of the Post-Dispatch. The regularly organized charitable agencies are, of course, an absolute need in the community, but a clearing house might, he says, be made a highly valuable adjunct, providing an agency from which those who feel impelled to give their charitable emotions’ direct and practical exercise might obtain in- formation to that end. Broader Interest Each Year. That the Christmas Festival, which 1s not to be understood as a charity, but as a hospitality event for a single day in the year, has from the first had an enduring infiuence upon the heart of the community finds its positive evidence in the facts stated and in the added fact that each year there is enlisted a broader active interest while rétaining the support of those individuals and in- stitutions which have sustained it from the outset. For many years the United Railways Co. has cheerfully given free transportation over its lines for those who are to receive from the central dis- tributing station baskets .of supplies for the Christmas dinner, and for children and their parents as guardians to and from the festival in the Coliseum. This year one of the first assurances to reach the festival management came from Richard McCulloch, president and gen- eral ‘manager of ‘the company, whv wrote: “‘You may announce to the com- mittee that. the United Railways Co. will do this year for the lIestival Ass :- ciation what it has been accustomed to do in the last few years.” Another early communicagion along this line came from H. Linton Reber, vice president of the Kinloch Telephone Co., advising the Executive Committee that the Festival should again have the first floor of the company’s building at Tenth and Locust streets, with lights, heat and telephone service, for the Bas- ket Packing Committee. This free use of the premises continues for more than a week, and it has been a yearly con- tribution cheerfully made by the com- pany to the undertaking to eliminate, as far as possible, on the’ one day of the year, the discomfort and distress incident to destitution. Chairman James A. Reardon of the Gift Committee told a Post-Dispatch re- porter yesterday that his purchase of 409 dozen dolls for distribution to little girls at the Coliseum on Christmas day was the outcome of effort begun early in the year. It succeeded only because of the existence of an option given by the manufacturer, but which had lost some of its force, and the assistance rendered by one of the largest St. Louis jobbing concerns which handles much of the manufacturer's output. It was not until the last week or two that it became known to Chairman Reardon that the dolis would be forthcoming, and that they have since arrived. They could be sold today for about double what they cost the Post-Dispatch Festival, for the reason that the trade has abandoned al} hope of being able to supply that great Christmas commodity, for which there is loud clamor all over the country. Bussers Instead of Horns. Another purchase by Chairman Rear- don, as gifts for the same branch of the Festival, is thousands of buzzers. These are to take the place of horns, with which the children in the Coliseum made their happiness so manifest last Christ- mas. The buzzere are in four different sizes, each sounding a different musical key, the effect of which will be a blend- ing of harmony and whirlwind noise. The subscription lists for the Festival will be started out on Thursday, and the heavy undertaking probably will be com- pleted within three or four days. This year they will be delivered to the vari- ous corporations and firms by an army of young women, who will only ask that they be received and brought to the at- tention of employes as a means for them to subscribe in any amount desired. The great bulk of subscriptions in former years have been in sums from 5 to & cents, and it is a pleasing anticipation that within a very few years the cause will have become so positve in its hold upon the entire heart of the community that there will be a rapid and mighty wave of contributions not exceeding 10 cents from the great mass of men, wom- en and children. That would greatly exceed the $12,000 required to carry out the program of hospitality this year, the!

There is still a likelihood that civic end commercial organizations may sub- scribe funds for an unoffictal celebra- tion. ? CIRCUIT Judge Raisseur to Preside in Juvenile Court. The Circuit Judges, in general term yesterday, assigned Judge Leo 8S. Ras- sieur to serve in Criminal Division No. 12 and as Judge in the Juvenile Court for a period of 18 months, beginning Jan. 1, succeeding Judge Grimm. The latter will return to the civil division in place of Judge Jones, who will go to a jury room. All of the newly elected Cir- cuit Judges who take office after Jan, 1 also received their court assignments. Benjamin J. Klene, John W. Calhoun, Victor H. Falkenhainer and Charles B. Davis will preside in jury courts in the civil division and Vital W. Garesche wil} take one of the equity divisions. They will succeed Judges Kinsey, Fisher, Withrow, Arnold and Anderson, who re- tire from the bench, Koenig Floral Co., 800 N. Grand Av, Flowers ‘‘fresh and sweet’ all the time.

S. Peace Negotiations and Its Great Commercial Future. By KARL H,. VON ‘WIEGAND. A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1916. by Press Pub. Co.) VIENNA, Dec. 4-—Dr. Ernest von Koerber, new Prime Minister of Austria, in a conversation with me today con- cerning the country’s new Pegime said: “A change of rulers has taken place, but Austro-Hungary continues to exist us before. Our beloved Emperor has passed away; our new Emperor, young in statecraft, but of sterling qualities and very popular with our peoples, has succeeded him. The thrones of Vienna and Budapest have not been shaken by this change; not even is there the slightest sign of internal trouble. “Notwithstanding all the dire prophe- cies of the terrible things that were to Lappen in Austro-Hungary when En:- peror Francts-Joseph died, Austria-Hun- gary is not in a state of dissolution, rev- vlution or in the smallest danger of breaking up, nor on the way to it. The dual monarchy ‘ives on with its former national solidity, with new hopes, new aspiration of progress and development. “Down to the smallest wheel in the machinery of State everything is work- ing smoothly. There has not been the smallest demonstration; not a single discordant note anywhere. In Office a Few Weeks. A few weeks ago Premier succeeded Premier Count Stuerghk, as- sasainated by a Socialistic fanatic, who asserted’ that he was impelled to the deed because he believed Stuergkh stood in the way of liberal development and progress in Austria. The appointment of Premier Koerber was one of the last important appoint- ments made by the late Emperor, ani many say was one of his wisest. He has been reappointed by Charles I. It is expected of the new Premier that he will bring many things out of the old rut, change many conditions and modernize and reorganize much that is behind the times in Austria. So many things are expected of him in so short a time, among so diversified ele- ments, under anything but auspicious conditions, that were the Prime Minis- ter to possess even a magic wand it is doubtful whether he could fulfill all expectations. Notwithstanding a great pressure of work, the Prime Minister received me at the ministry today. “You see Austria-Hungary has sur- vived our aged Emperor, whose death was expected by our enemies to have been the signal for a general breaking- up, falling to pieces and what not,” re- marked Dr. Koerber. “It will continue to survive, develop and progress. The bond which held Austria-Hungary to- gether under Francis-Joseph will con- tinue to hold it together under Charles I. “That bond,” he continued, “is the love of our Emperor, the nationa] wel- fare and the common good-will of all our peoples. This bond has not been ‘| severed nor loosened, and there is no reason why it should be. We mourn our Emperor, and transfer to Charles I the faith, confidence, trust and affec- tion imposed in Francis-Joseph. ‘There is much talk of a Kuis’ in Austria. ‘Neuen The public appears to place great hopes that your excel- 4 lency will inaugurate the longed-for new era,’’ I suggested. Dr. Koerber raised. both hands before his face, palms outward, as if to ward off ques- tions along this line. Has Numerous Plana. “Austria must not be behind any other country in progress and develop- ment. With the co-operation of our people I hope to accomplish some things, but there is too much of that talk and far greater expectations than I may be able to fulfill in the short time in which it seems to be looked for,’’ replied the Premier. “I appreciate the confidence imposed in «me, and certainly shall do what is within my power to modernize where modernizing is needed, and stubstitute progress where things may appear to have been standing still, but tt is not 80 easy work to change where changes are desired or desirable as rapidly as some people think.’’ Dr. Koerber has traveled more *han any other statesman I have met in Kurope. He has lived in England, wae much in France and Italy, has traveled in the Western Hemisphere, knows the United States wel! and South America better than most North Americous. It is his opinion that the lnited States will he the greatest economic, “tnanc'al and industrial factor tn Europe after the War. . “America not only can, but ;erhaps may, Play the greatest role in bring- ing the war to an end and makin pence. She cerininly will contribute cousp’cu- eaoly fo a long time after the war to the recorstruction of F.urope.”’ he said. "Ro. the American people,” he contin- ued, “realize that almost all Europe will be looking to them for raw material, as well as other things, in incalculable quantities, with which to begin itndus- trial and economic life anew after this insane holocaust has been extinguished? Probably never in the history of the world has a country had two such great missions on behalf of humanity and civ- ilization as America has today and aca, have after the war." ._ Fire at Tire Company. Fire in the basement of the Becon- structed Tire Co.’s building at 3444 Lindell avenue at 10 o'clock last night Gamaged the stock to the ex- tent of $1600 and the building about $200. ‘ Koerbe>. “ge Aaa HINDENBURG WIRES CHANCELLOR Congratulates Him on Passage of Compulsery Civilian Service Bill. BERLIN, Dec. 5, by wireless to Say- ville.—Field Marshal von Hindenburg has sent the following telegram to Chan- cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, to con- gratulate the Chancellor on the passage of the bill providing for compulsory service of civilians for war purposes: “I beg your excellency to accept my sincerest congratulations on the passage of the bill for the patriotic auxillary service. This means help for the army which cannot be appreciated too highly. We shall win if the whole nation puts itself at the service of the country.”’ GREGORY MAY GET JUDGESHIP Considered for Circuit Court Vacancy and Supreme Bench Later. WASHINGTON, Dec. 56.—If Attorney- | General Gregory carries out his report- ed intention of resigning from the Cabi- net, he may be nominated by President Wilson as United States Judge in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, compris- ing the Gulf States, to succeed the late Judge A. P. McCormick, and later pro- moted to the Supreme Court, when a Vacancy occurs. This plan was understood today to be under consideration by President Wilson. Mra. Karoline Stroh’s Estate.

President Aloe of the Board of Aldermen thinks it would help business to abolish Union Station, and require each railroad or group of roads to have its own depot, as is the case in Chicago, De- troit and some other cities. Travelers world then have to pass through the streets to get from one depot to another, and might spend money with the retail merchants. This recipe for business prosperity recalls the Erie railroad war of 1853. Travelers in those days had to change cars not less than six timee be- tween New York and Chicago, and one of the changes was at Erie, Pa., where the gauge pecaine narrower. All through passengers had to get off at one end of Erie, pass through the town on foot or in carriages, and take a train at the other end. All freight kad to be unloaded and hauled tbrough the streets. When the railroad companies remedied the dif- ference in gauge, and prepared to lay connecting tracks through Erie, the people of Erie resisted the undertaking by court processes and nob vio- lence. The whole country became interested. Buffalo and Cincinnati held indignation meetings, and Horace Greeley, in the New York Tribune, thundered ¢cnunciations and demands for inter- ference by the President of the United States. “The whole world is to be taxed, as in the days of Caesar Augustus,” he wrote, “in order that Erie may clutch a sixpence for every dollar of expense she imposes on others. Let Erie be avoided by all travelers until grass shall grow in her streets, and till her piemen, in despair, shail move to some other city.” Erie finally yielded, its civic repute having boon in no wise enhanced by the selfish, though not un- natural, action of its people and officials. Jta misdeeds have now been forgotten, but what would be said of Erie if were to try to restore the conditions of 1853? And what would be generally said, and generally thought, of any city whica should purposely add to the burdens and expenses of the traveling public, for its own pennywise profit? 7% a > a ae The war has become Hellenic.

And now those Hast St. Louisans are talking of taxing Our Bridge, that is, the portion of it from midstream east that falls within their juris- diction. They make themselves the more neighborly and agreeable by classifying our monumental] struc- ture with their thirst utilities and suggesting that the $116,619 they figure that ought to be added in taxes to the present high cost of bridge mainte- nance will just about make up for their loss on liquor licenses. if saloons are reduced in number. Their contention may at first glance seem plaus- ible. In the considerable mass of Federal and State legislation relating to Our Bridge we might, if challenged to do so, have difficulty in pointing out the exact provision inserted with wise fore- sight exempting it from all taxation. It is, however, well established that enterprises of phi- lanthropy and benevolence are exempt. And what greater benevolence, what more worthy philan- thropy, than one enabling East Siders to cross to St. Louls without paying double trolley fare or contributing five cents for the privilege of walk- ing? , Our altruism will be more appreciated after the McKinley line raises its rate to 10 centa. Re- prisal by granting free passage one way on Our Bridge, but exacting toll going the other, for the purpose of raising the tax money, will be reserved as a last resort. However, we apprehend that the taxation policy affecting public highway bridges across inter- state streams has long been well defined. Gen- erally such bridges are the joint work of com- munities on both sides of the stream, but the taxation principle is not affected by the fact that the community on one side has generously shouldered the cost. The community that evaded all part and parce] in the burden of construction has a painful surprise coming {f {t seriously pro- poses to make a source of municipal revenue out a orientation of the Bull Moose and the ccoulta-. of a free public highway buflt and operated for the convenience of the whole publia \ ! a4 * | 4 v * ; se : : s ‘ “Girth” FE arp HC tg A é gf Pe q 7%. wert! ; » “¢ " ‘ +, ? 7 4 SUH. aif ’ + “ : ‘ 4 * , 4) | . : dns 1, of ce "4 . ‘ ” z iw ¥ 4 ‘ .

Now practically all great ‘men and women, as well as all average mortals, have disagreed with Prof. Cutler, if his remarks are to be taken as denying the value of love itself. If he meant merely to question the possibility of caging ro- mance or domesticating dreams, there are many perfectly respectable human beings who agree with him. I am not one of them. I think love is still the best ex¢use we have for marriage. What others/are there? Marriage for money is t hardest way there is of making a Mving. ff a girl can’t wash dishes] » a merce- ? ’ pay dividends. But no one with any other means of earn- ing money should undertake it. The Potential Anesthetic of Love. To marry without love is to do with- out the natural anesthetic provided for the most critical operation of life. What if one does come to after a while, real- izing that é¢very liberty of thought and action have been cut away while one dreamed the ether dream of its perfect romance? Is it not better to lose these things painlessly than with the cold con- sciousness of everythings that is going on around the operating table? There are, of course, brave spirits who won't take gas while having their teeth pulled, and I have read even of heroic souls among surgeons who operated upon themselves, scorning chloroform, ether, stovaine and other pain dead- eners. There are, too, persons who can swallow cod liver oil without pepper- mint afterward or before. I confess I don’t understand them. I want all the In America we take our peppermint before marriage. In Europe they prefer it afterward. This seems a matter of taste and judgment merely, and I know of no one but Prof. Cutler who thinks we should do without peppermint alto- gether. But love is not the only anesthetic for the pain of life. Quite as valua- ble, more useful to women, perhaps, is the soft, seductive vanity which deadens the ache of the wounds they suffer at the hands of love. Nearly all men quarrel with the vanity of yroomen. It is, in fact, life’s greatest gift to men, because it is women’s vanity which enables him to escape from love when he has had all he wants of it. 2 Vanity breaks for him the engase- ment of which he has tired: divorces him when he wants to be divorced. Vanity is the merciful secretion of her soul which enables a woman to face without flinching the fact that she still loves a being who has ceased to love her. How Vanity May Ease the Pains of Life. A wife I knew had worried for months about her husband's conduct. When he did not come home she sat up for him anu she devoted the brief moments they had together to usel:ss reproaches. “One night,’ she confided to me, “I got a good look at myself in the glass. My eyes were hollow, my com- plexiton looked dead. I had three great lines in my forehead between my eyebrows, And all of a sudden I thought about Bill in a new way. I said to myself, ‘Foolish Woman, you're losing your looks and your perfectly good sleep over a man who is not worth it. Go to bed this minute rnd sleep.” And TI did. “Wh... Bll strolled in about 3 tn the morning he was so astonished not to find me sitting up for him, that he switched on lights and threw around shoes till he had waked me up. ‘What happened to you?’ he said; ‘why didn’t | the tenth month of the year of Romulus, IT answered. ‘I'd rather have my sleep than worry about you.’ And I yawned and dropped off to sleep. “In a month I had him so worried by my good looks and my indifference and occasional kind inquiries about why he didn’t go out and have a good time that he thought I must be in love with another man, and from that moment I couldn't lose him.” £o vanity solaces a woman when love falls her. But if love is shorter lived, still it: serves the purpose for which it was evolved. It gets us married quite generally to persons excellently well suited to us and nearly always to be- ings as well suited to us as anyone else would be. The only persons who be- leve that there is very much difference between Tweedledum and Tweedledee are those whose experience has been confined to Tweedledum. Well, Then, What Are We Going to Marry For? TI ask Prof. Cutler: And if we do not marry our great passions, What on earth are we to do with them? So long as there are men and women—particularly so long as there are boys and girls— great, wonderful whirls of feeling will biow up between. And any strong love rroperly thwarted ought to last five or ten years after marriage, and even if the motor stops, then its momentum ought to carry gone into middle age and that gentle twilight of emotion which fs, perhaps, its pleasantest hour. The world seems to believe that it niust marry. Then for what? For love, for money or for eugenics. The last seems the least lovely motive of all. Eventualhy, perhaps, all marriages will be arranged accoring to chemical for- mula, and when all mental, moral and rhysical traits have been duly recorded in the eugenic laboratory, it may be possible to have a husband or wife put up like a prescription, merely by writing tc Dr. Davenport at Cold Spring Har- bor, ; ae se But eugenics has not attained this point of perfection. And till it does, however base and vulgar it may be, wise men and women will permit nature to throw a little star dust in their eyes, and if the star dust turns out to have teen merely pollen they won't care par- ticularly. For they will have had their immortal hour. For love alone unlocks tlie gates of heaven, and in heaven ®& dav is a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day. HOW DECEMBER GOT ITS NAME | HE first appearance of December in the calendar was in the role of its name being derived from “decem,”’ meaning ten. In 713 B. C., Ngma intro- duced January and. February before March, and December was relegated to twelfth place. The name thus ceased to be etymologically. correct, and sev- eral attempts were made to change it, but without success. For a decade in the second century of the Christian era, in the reign of Commodus, December was called Amazonius, in honor of one of the light lady loves of the Prince, but soon after the death of Commodus— he was poisoned by his favorite mistress, Martia—Romans dropped the name of Amaszonius and restored the old name of December. In the original calendar of Romulus, December had 9 days. When Numa reformed the calendar he reduced De- cember to 2 days, but Julius Caesar gave it 31 days, and it has had that number ever since... By the ancient Saxons December was called Winter- monat, which was chargéd, after the introduction of Christianity, to Heligh- Fiour Bin Metal Sides Art Glass Doors Sifter Top Glass Ted and Coffee Jars Oak Top Linen Drewer Panel Bottom ~- &*. 7 i . ’ . *. % o* Par e%e% oe. in * es “? a Bae Me ae A wre a 9S.

L r 4 ; ..« majority of the newspapers speak of the possible intentions of Ambassador Ger- erd on his return from the United States and of the rumors that a British ministerial crisis is impending. The Vos- sische Zeitung says: “We all feel the end of the war has been brought considerably nearer by the events of recent weeks. Even statesmen seem to recognize this, although their words lack clearness.”’ The Vossische Zeitung says peace ne- gotiations, were not discussed seriously in the United States until Great Brit- ailn's plight became apparent, and that this was not a coincidence, but was due to Anglo-American solidarity, and con- tinues: “We ought never to forget that it is to the interest of the United States to support Great Britain’s position for its own sake at the end: of the war. In America everybody is conscious of the fact that a settlement of the questions concerning the Pacific between the Unit- ed States and Japan is only a question of time. The natural ally of the United States in this threatening struggle is England.”’ — Genuine French Castile Soap. David Nicholson Grocer Company. Penny Ante Players Freed.

NO CHARGE FOR CONSULTATION NEW YORK AUDIENCE ACCLAIM BERNHARDT Famous Frenchwoman Appears in Three Plays Not Requir- ing Much Motion. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Fost-Dispatch, © NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Sarahn Bern- hardt will have to look far back through the Iong series of her farewell Amer- ican tours to recall a time when her appearance in New York was a signal for such tremendous jubilation as it was at the Empire Theater last night. The instant the curtain rose to dis- close her in the role of Cleopatra, re- clining on a couch of leopard and lion Skins, the expectant audience was on its feet. For nearly five minutes the uproar of bravos and applause contin- ued, while the more impressionable among her excited compatriots stood out jin the aisle and waved their hands. Meanwhile, as the indomitable genius of the French stage watched the ex- citement with a glow of satisfaction which entirely destroyed the illusion of the dyirg Egyptian Queen whom she was impersonating, one could see that in spite of infirmities and sorrows, time has dealt kindly with her. At 72, Mme. Bernhardt is vigorous and fit. The “voice of gald,’”’ over which poets have sing and critics have raved, may ht be what it was in other years. Mm. Bernhardt was further handicapped kv a bad cold, and frequent fits of coughing interrupted tbe delivery of her lines. But her enimciation was clear and bell- like as before, and the bits of dramatic technique which she is now able ito em- ploy are still supe. b. Mme. RBernhardt’s triumph over the disability caused by the amputation of her right leg is one of the remarkable features of her present appearances. The three short plays were s0 arrange that they permit her either to recline, cit or stanc. They require no move- ments about the stage. But the subtle rt of the star makes one fcrget the disadvantage under which she struggiee. Reception on Stage. When the curtain had fallen upon “Cleopatra,’’ the performance suddenly took,on the appearance of a reception, which gradually swelled into an ovation. Rose Coghlan, another grand woman of the theater, stepped out on the stage and read a greeting in behalf of the actors of America. The French visitor seemed bewildered for a moment, then recovered herself, rose and grasped Miss Coghian’s hand. If she replied at all, which is doubtful, her voice was lost in the handclapping of the audience. This demonstration,~with variations, was re- peated after each of the three plays. Candor compels the statement that in appearance she was far too old to suit the roles shé acted. But the vigor of! her performance, the lightning flashes of emotion with which she punctuated it, and the moments of pathos which she reached, proclaimed that she is still mistress of the technical phase of her art, But it remained for “Du Theatre au Champ d’Honneur” (From the stage to the field of honor) to lift the audience to the greatest enthusiasm. This little play, written by a French army officer at the front, is a propagandist drama of the present war. In it Mme. Bernhardt appeared as a wounded and dying French actor, whose recitation of pa- triotic poems in the trenches had in- spired his fellow soldiers to deeds of glory. It permitted Mme. Bernhardt, in her delivery of Victor Hugo's ‘‘Patria,"’ to rise to the most inspired moment she reached during the evening. HAPPY PLAY, TEMPERAMENTAL MALE COMEDIAN AT COLUMBIA “Petticoats” Shows One Woman’s Search for a Truly Master- fal Man. “Petticoats,”’ a little one-act comedy by John B. Hymer, with Grace Dunbar Nile in the leading role, overshadows the headliners and all the other acts on the rather long but excellent bill at the Columbia Theater this week. The play- let is exceedingly pleasing and refresh- ing, and Miss Nile is delightful as a young woman who is looking for the sort af a man who, when she-orders chocolate ice cream soda, will say, “you'll take strawberry ‘or ‘you'll take none at all. She finds him. The ‘‘featured’’ performers on the pro- gram are Clark and Hamilton, the for- mer an English music hall comedian who is very funny, and the latter a young woman who dances well. Clark apparently is as temperamental as a grand opera prima dorina, and last night found much to annoy him in the restless- ness of the audience, the movement of some stage hands and the placing of his piano. His remarks on these matters were not in the best of taste, nor as humorous as his music hall patter. Pretty Operetta, “Adele,” Well Pre- sented by Park Singcrs. The opening performance of the pretty operetta “‘Adele,”’ at the Park Theater last night, was unusually full of enter- tainment, the entire company appearing to good advantage in a production to which the abilities of each seemed suit- ed. Miss Lillan Crosman as Adele was easly the star, and.n none of her ap- pearances dd she dsappont n ether act- ing or singing. Many laughs were afforded by the dalogue of Billy Kent and Matt Han- ley, while Sarah Edwards and George Natanson, the latter newly returned to the company, won applause. Attractive stage settings and handsome costumes for the chirus, which was not over- worked, added to the show. Man Robbed of Diamond and Watch.

PLA.WALKER ts k THE GOBLIN AND THE MIRROR. NE night when the moon was O shining in the woods Nim-nim, a little goblin, was running about to sée if the fairies had left any ice eream or cake, for they had held a feast that night, and the goblins had arrived too late to get any refrestiments. Not that the goblins had been in- vited. Oh! no. They intended to scare sway the fairies and take all they could find, but so many things had hap- pened that the goblins were la‘e in reaching the deep woods, and all but Nim-nim had gone home and were sound asleep. Not a crumb or cake did he find, he was just about to give up the search as his brother goblins had done when he saw something shining beside a@ rook. Quick as a wink, Nim-nim ran and picked it up. It was a tiny fairy mir- ror, and as Nim-nim had never in all life seen a mirror he thought an- other goblin was standing in front of him when he beheld his refiection in the Bo > hid the mirror behind him other goblin would want it, s funny,” thought Nim-nim. “He be hiding behind that rock.” ara Wie crept around the rock, but, of there was no one there. Nim- the mirror the It was of silver, and Nim-nim thought it was very pretty, it was so shiny. He turned it over, and there again was the goblin. Nim-nim hid it be hind his back again, and, of course, the goblin disappeared. When he wag sure there was no one around Nim-nim looked at the mirror lagain, and there again was the goblin, and this time Nim-nim made a face, and, of course, the goblin in the mirror made a face, too. For a minute .Nim-nim was puzzled, and could not find out where the other goblin disappeared every time. He was quite angry now, for the other goblin made faces every time he did. Nim-nim put the mirror on the ground and began to hunt under the leaves and behind the rocks, but he found no one. When he stooped to pick up the mirror this time he found out he had been look- ing at himself ali the time. “I thought I was a handsomer fellow than my brothers,” he said. ‘I didn’t know I looked like them. I will take it home and have some fun with the other goblins, for none of them has ever seen himeelf, and I expect each one thinks he is handsomer than his brothers. So off to goblin land ran Nim-nim with the fairy mirror and the first thing he did after all his brothers were awake was to tell them what he had found. “Bomething you can look at and see All day long Nim-nim sat in his little house in goblin land, letting one goblin at a time come in and look in the fairy mirror, and each one was so disappoint- ed that he was not handsome that each little goblin threw himself on the ground and cried with anger. By night the whole of goblin land was in tears, and a sound like the moan- ing of the wind sounded all over the land. Niin-nim still sat in his house with his mirror, when suddenly he saw in the doorway an old goblin with a long white beard. “Want to see yourself?’ asked Nim nim, “No,” answered the old goblin. ‘I have come to ask you to come out of your house and see the-trouble you have brought upon our land. No one will work; they are all-so unhappy be- cause you have shown them how they look. And what its to become of us I do not know.” When Nim-nim went out and saw his brother goblins lying on the ground and heard their cries he felt sorry and asked the old goblin what he should do to make happiness reign again in goblin land. “You will have to take that mirror back to the fairies,” he said, “and ask the Queen to help you restore happi- ness and contentment to our land.” ‘But I don’t know where to find the Fairy Queen,” said Nim-nim. “Then you must hunt until you find her,” said the old goblin. “You brought a strange thing Into our land, some- thing that did not belong here and did not belong to you; now you must hunt until you find the Queen and restore it to her and save your land.”’ Nim-nim started off with a heavy heart, for he knew he might have to search a long time; the fairies traveled fast, and besides that they could be All day and all that night Nim-nim hunted for the Fairy Queen, and at midnight he gave up the hunt and sat down tired and discouraged beside a rock. “Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I wish I had not taken the mirror. I wish I had gone home that night with my poor brothers, and if I ever get the mirror back to tho fairies I will never bother them again.” Just then Nim-nim saw a bright light and he saw the fireflies with their lan- terns looking among the leaves. They are hunting for the mirror,’ thought Nim-nim. “I'll hide it under the leaves and help them hunt.” “What are you looking for?” he asked. “We are looking for the Fairy Queen’s mirror,’’ said one “She lost it, and as it will make all who look in it very ugly but the oné to whom it belongs, we feel sure no one will want to keep it.”’ Nim-nim felt a great load lifted from his heart then. He did not look as ugly as the mirror showed him. He could tell his brothers this, too, and bring happiness and contentment to goblin land once more. Nim-nim scrambled around and pushed aside the leaves, and pretty soon he called out, “Here it is. I have found the Queen's mirror,” but he did not look in it. He gave it to the chief firefly and ran home. The old goblin was waiting for him, and together they went to the weep- ing goblins and told them the mirror was for only the Fairy Queen, that all others looked ugly fn ft, and that each goblin looked just as he thought he aid, and up jumped the little fellows and began to work and hopped about happy once more.

Roll after roll the perspiring clerk brought out, but still she seemed dis- satisfied. From her dress he judged her t» be a person of wealth and thought it likely she would have a good order to give. When at last he had shown her the last roll he paused in despair. “I'm sorry, madame,’ he said, apolo- getically ‘“‘but if you could wait I could get some more pieces from the factory. Perhaps you would call tn again.” The prospective customer gathered her belongings together and rose from the chair. ‘Yes, do,” she said with a gracious smile, “and ask them to send you one or two with very small designs, suitable for putting in the bottom of a canary’s cage.”” Rapid Depreciation.
