CANAL ACROSS THE ISTHMUS Says Panama Waterway Is Not Ade- quate to Handle Vast Volume of Shipping. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.—Rear-Admi- ral Robert E. Peary in an address be- fore the Geographical Society of Phila- delphia last night predicted that the Government would, within a few years, build another great canal across the Central American isthmus. ‘The Panama Canal,’’ said Admiral Peary, is not great enough to handle the vast amount of commerce which seeks passage and the only course open is the building of another canal across Nica- ragua. The work will be of practically the same magnitude as that which re- sulted in the Panama waterway.” BONUS FOR UNORGANIZED LABOR Brotherhood Members Not Expected to Share in Santa Fe Gifts.

SENTENCE THREE YEARS Conviction on Charge of Third Degree Forgery Sustained; Now in Arkansas. Beverly C. Stevens, up to two years ago the most prominent real estate deal- er in St. Louis County, must serve three years in the penitentiary, according to a ruling yesterday by Commissioner Roy of the Missouri Supreme Court, whe Sustained the conviction of Stevens in the St. Charles Circuit Court, in July, 1915, om a charge of third degree for- ery. Stevens’ office was in Clayton at the time of the exposure of his real estate deals in 1914. He is now said to be in business in Arkansas. Supreme Court Marshal Shult hes gone ~fter him and will take him to the Jefferson City pen- itentiary. 73 Indictments Within a short time after the discov- ery of the nature of Stevens’ deals in deeds of trust 73 indictments were re- turned against him by the St. Louis County grand fury. Among those who made complaints against him were widows and orphans and trustees of estates. Developments showed that in many cases Stevens had sold duplicate and forged deeds of trust and that he also had resold many deeds of trust after they had been released on the records in the County Recorder’s office. The total amount of the alleged frauds was placed at more than $100,000. Case of Promissory Note. The charge on which Stevens must now serve a penitentiary term was tiat he forged the names of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Kelpe to a promissory note for $2500, May 23, 1914. After Stevens had been found guilty on this charge, in the Clayton Circuit Court, changes of venue were taken on most of the other cases. In Judge Cave's court in St. Louis Stevens was found guilty on an embez- zliement charge and his punishment was fixed at three years, but he was iwt formally sentenced. The other cases against him were never tried. M’DANIEL DOES NOT SEE WHY HE SHOULD BE ‘THE GOAT’ Says Jones’ Contest Is Only Fishing Fixpedition for Republicans Seeking to Seat Lamm, Lawrence McDaniel, Democratic Cir- cuit Attorney-EFlect, who has been served by Seebert G. Jones, defeated Republican candidate, with notice of a contest, de- nounces the proceeding as a fishing. ex- pedition for information which the Re- publicans hope will justify a contest of the election of Fred D. Gardner to the governorship. McDaniel says the con- test will involve him in considerable un- deserved expense and he doesn't under- stand why he should be the ‘“goat.’’ Selden P. Spencer told him several days ago, he says, that the contest would be filed, and that the purpose was to get information: for a governorship contest in the Legislature. As McDan- iel won by 9900 votes, he told Spencer it was an outrage to put him to the inconvenience and expense of a contest. Spencer agreed that it was, but said it was the ‘only way, unless McDaniel would have James P. Newell, defeated candidate for Public Administrator, file a contest against Frank Slater. McDaniel said he had nothing to do with Newell and protested against being made the victim of a fishing expedition. It will be necessary for him to employ an attorney and watchers.

Wisconsin’s solved by a State Tax Comission, ated in 1899, which has equalized assess- ments throughout the State by requir- ing that all property be assessed at its reasonable cash value. The members vf the Wisconsin Tax Commission ex- pressed surprise that the State Board of Equalization of Missouri, comprised of the Governor, Secretary of State, Audi- tor, Attorney-General anda Treasurer, ig- nored the law requiring the assessment of property at its cash value. T:eir ad- vice to Missouri was to force tre State Board of Equalization, by litiga’ion, if necessary, to equalize assessments tnroughout the State. Total Valuation Nearly Doubled. When the Wisconsin State Tax Com- mission began its work in 19) it found that under a system practically the Same as exists in Missouri today, the property of the State was assesesd at cnly $630,000,000, it immediately increased the assessment to _ $1,400,000,000 for 1901, and has increased it every year, until the assesment for 1916 aggregates $3,300,000,000. The assessment is increased about 4% per cent every year, so that there is a continuous increase of State revenue. to meet constantly growing State expenses. Under the Wisconsin plan of assessing all property at its cash value—deter- mined by its actual selling value, or by appraisal—the railroads and public service corporations contribute $5,000,- 000 to the State government, which is sufficient to meet all departmental ex- penses. Practically all of the other mon- ey raised by taxation, with the excep- tion of special funds for the university and normal schools, is returned to the counties and municipalities of Wisconsin for schools, building roads, asylums and hospitals. The actual amount of money returned to the counties in 1916 was $5,462,835.24—an amount equal to prac- tically all the revenue raised in Mis- souri for all State financial difficulties were cre- purposes, Wisconsin has a population of only 2,- 460,000 as compared with 3,372,886 in Mis- sour]. Its area in square miles is 56,066 as compared with 69,420 square miles in Missouri. In Northern Wisconsin there are vast areas of practically undeveloped lands. ; The rallroads in Wisconsin, with A mileage of 11,552, are assersed at $360,960.000 as compared with an assesamem of $175,030,985... for the 9.065 miles of railroad in Missouri. The Wisconsin railroads paid $4,754,748.86 into the State treasury in 1916, all of which is retained the State. In Missouri the railroads pay their taxes into each county and the county pays the State its share of the tax.

A tax of | Post-Dispatch Shows How One State Has Increased Its Revenue HE Post-Dispatch published a 7 rather startling article last Sunday, addressed to the newly elected members of the Leg- islature, showing that the State is more than $2,000,000 in debt for cur- rent expenses and pointing out that one of the big tasks confronting the administration and requiring imme- diate solution is the problem of how greatly to increase the State's revenue. +overnor-elect Gardner on Mon- day called a special tax conference to meet in St. Louis tomorrow. The Post-Dispatch today offers to the Legislature, the incoming administration and to the special tax conference an example of what a progressive State has done in raising revenue. The accompany- ing article, by a member of the Post-Dispatch staff, who has spent the week in Wisconsin investigat- ing the tax system, shows that State, with a smaller population than Missouri, raises twice the amount of revenue raised in this State and shows how it is being done Subsequent articles will tell of the beneficial results to’ Wisconsin. | 1-6 mill is levied for the support of nor- mal schools, 7-10th of a mill tor the cominon schools. Wisconsin hes only one source of reve- nue that is not available in Missouri, | and that is an income tax law. Un- der the provisions of this income tax law, intangible personal property is ex- | empted from taxation, and instead an income tax is imposed. The only per- sonal property assessed is merchants’ and manufacturers’ stocks, automobiles, farm animals and bank stocks. Under the income tax the owner of! $100,000) worth of income-bearing stocks | and°bonds would be taxed $75 a year. If his personal property was agsessed at the rate of other Wisconsin property, he would pay a tax of $2000 on his’ stocks and bonds. Avoids Iscome Confiscation. The Wisconsin Tax Comnimission as- serts that this is a wise law, as expe- | rience has demonstrated that it is im-/ possible to force taxpayers to make re- | turns of intangible personal property. | The commissioners also assert that the taxation of intangible personal proper. tv. at the same rate as other property would be unjust, because it would | amount almost to confiscation of the! income. A Wisconsin farmer with taxable prop- | worth $10,000 will pay, on the av-| erage, about $1% a year in taxes.

CABINET OF TWELVE Five Unionists, Five Liberals and Two Representatives of Labor Element. LONDON, Dec. 7.—It is regarded this afternoon as virtually certain that David Lloyd-George will succeed in organizing a ministry which will have the support of a majority in the House of Commons, the Labor party having decided to par- ticipate in the making up of tne new Cabinet. It is said that George Nicoll Barnes, Labor member of Parliament from Glas. gow and a Privy Councillor, and Arthur Henderson, president of the Board of Kducation in the coalition ministry, wil! be members of the Cabinet, and that one of them wifl sit in the war council. In addition, it is also said, three secre- taryships will be allotted to the “Labor t is understood Fr. oyd-George is aiming at a Cabinet of 12 members, five ct them Unionists, five Liberals and two Labor representatives. From this num- ber a small war council is to be ap- pointed. Lioyd-George’s. difficulty xt present is to obtain adequate Liberal representation, inasmuch as nearly all the Téberals in Asquith’s Cabinet are declining to serve under him. However, it was decided at a meeting of the Lib- eral war~committee, attended by 30 members, to suport the new Premier actively.' The Labor parllamentary party adopted: a resolution expressing the hope that. ‘‘in this.supreme crisis an en- deavor will be made by the new Govern- ment to settle the Irish question and bring about the widest measure of co-op- eration of all forces and energies of the nation and the empire.”’ The Dally Chronicle says the follow- ing men are likely to becom’ members of the Cabinet: David Lloyd-George, Andrew Bonar Law, Sir Edward Car- son, Barl Curzon of Kedtreston, the Earl of Derby, Col. Winston Spencer Church- ill, Viscount Milner. and Sir Frederick Edward Smith. The Chronicle says Ear! Curzon is likely to succeed Viscount Grey as For- eign Secretary, and that Viscount Read- ing probably will be Lord Chancellor. The; Daily News, on the other hand, gives asa nucieus list for the new Cab- inet David lIioyd-George, Bonar Law, Sir Edward Carson, Sir Frederick Caw- ley; the Earl of Derby, Arthur Hen- derson, William Brace, Viscount Read- ing and Viscount Milner. King’s Efforts Yesterda¥. There was a prospect yesterday that the, personal offices of the King might solve the situation, and many thought that the Asquith regime*’might be con- tinued. The King called the party lead- ers to Buckingham Palace and con- ferred with them for more than an hour. Asquith and Lioyd-George of the Liberals, Bonar Law and Balfour of the Unionists and Henderson of the Labor party were with the sovereign. It is many years since a British ruler as- sembled the representatives of the dif- ferent factions face to e when they showed themselves unable to settle their differences. But no such serious crisis has arisen before to require such action by the King. The five statesmen de- parted separately, four in their motor cars and the workingmen’'s spokesman afoot. 3 Afte rd the King gave an audience to Bonat Law. who declined to under- take the formation of the new ministry, then to Lioyd-George, who accepted the responsibility. The official announcement that Lioyd- George had undertaken the task, with the ec-operation of Bonar Law, was a notification that the new Government would be coalition. Any party Govern- ment would be impossible because nei- ther the Unionists nor tha Liberals have a majority in the House of Commons}: and either one must attach the Yrish Nationalists or the Laborites to itself to command a majority. The National- jats have refused to participate in the Government until home rule becofnes es- tablished.’ The Laborites have been op- posing Lioyd-George, because they resent his accusations that the work- ing men. have put their personal inter- eats above the national interests at times in the war. The House of Comons todav adjourned until Tuesday. A sheeting of the Liberal party, over which Mr. Asquith will preside, will be held FW?iday. , Only Drie “BROMO QUININE” That fe LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Look for signature of KR. W.

Queer Meves eof Rumanian Armié« Sarprise, bat De Not Halt Teutons, PITESHTT, Rumania, Dec. 6—In an- te attempt to ward off the attack on rest, the Rumanians yesterday executed another remarkable impossible strategic move. Their army, which had been ‘ faring troops advancing upon Bucharest fom the southwest and west, was sui- By nly: turned squarely toward ‘the ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH } Danube army” in the South, thus expos- ing themselves to a disastrous flank at- tack. ; The Rumanian army, which has been retreating pell-mell from the Northwest, suddenly stopped and began an attack in a direction nearly northward, thus exposing itself to an attack in the rear by German troops marching due easr- ward. The result was that another Rumanian army numbering about four divisions was left in a kind of cul de sac almost due west of Bucharest between two Ger- man forces and threatened from behind by a third. The maneuver was a sur- prise to the Germans because it appar- ently rendered the position of all three Rumanian armies utterly untenable for any length of time and laid them all open to destruction. The new move was regarded by the Germans as an indica- tion that the Rumanians intended to de- fend Bucharest by an offensive move- ment and as denoting anew either their obvious disorganization or that tre supreme Rumanian command had made an error. Germans Capture a Hill on the Ver- dun Front. ‘BERLIN, Dec. 7, by wireless to Say- ville—On the Verdun front yesterday German troops entered French trenches on Hill 304 and captured the summit of the height, the War Office announces. Teutonic troops yesterday entered Rus- sian positions west of Lutsk, in Bol- hynia, says the report. Five Russia» attacks last night to regain the Cap- tured ground were repulsed. British Commander of Armored Cars in Dobrudja Wounded. LONDON, Dec. 7.—Commander Lock- er Lampson, who has been in: three actions on the Dobrudja front with British naval armored cars, has been wounded, says Reuter’s Petrograd cor- respondent. The dispatch adds that six British petty officers are missing but that none of the cars has been lost. Spanish and Danish Vessels Sunk by Submarines. LONDON, Dec, 7.—Lloyds reports the sinking by submarines of the Danish steamship Nexos, 1013 tons gross, and of the Spanish steamship Julia Benito. The crews of both vessels were landed. Emperor Charles Congratulates Ferdi- ___ mand and the Sultan. LONDON, Dec. 7.—A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam says Emperor Charles spent yesterday at Austrian headquar- ters, discussing with his military ad- visors the military and political situa- tion brought about by the capture of Bucharest and Polechti. “The Emperor sent a telegram to King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, expressing joy at the achievements in Rumania and the hope that we will succeed in the near future in convincing the enemy of the futility of further bloodshed.” A similar telegram, expressing the hope of a speedy and fina! victory, was sent by the Emperor to the Sultan of Turkey. Sena “Fall of Bucharest Without Military Significance.” Says Gen. Maurice. LONDON, Dec. 7.—‘‘The fall of Bucha- rest is without military significance, but I have no desire to underrate the fact that its surrender has a consider- able mora! and political effect,” said Gen. F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the British War Office, in discussing with the Associat- ed Press today the latest military oper- ations of the entente allies. “The Rumavian army is still intact, as it was never in danger of great loss until it made the stand on the Argechu, where it wis defeated. It must have lost a considerable number of men when the enemy broke through. “In our press there has ovidently been much misconception in regard to the so-called Orsova army, left in the rear of the Germans. As a matter of fact, there never was a Rumanian army at Orsova. The only army in Wallachia was the first Rumanian army, while slightly less than a division was eft at Orsova only as a rear guard. This de- tachment was cut off. Veiw as to Material Gains. “Reports from Germany of from 50,00) to 100.000 Rumanian prisoners must in- clude the civilian population of the oc- cupied districts. The materia! gains of the Germans around Bucharest are not as they expectea, as the Ru- matnians ~ucceeded in inflicting great damage on the oil fields, while much corn was removed. } “It is dangerous to prophecy when the Rumanians will make their stand, but it is reasonable to presume they will take a position on the narrow neck cf Rumania, which still gives possession cf the larger part of the country and pro- vides strong positions for the flanks. ‘“‘Some reasons for the Rumanian diffi- culties may be summarized as follows: ‘Faulty organization of equipment and railroads and lack of heavy guns.”’ “Fortress of London,” Referring to news nearer home, Gen. Maurice said: “It is interesting to note that the Germans when raiding Wondon by air always assert that they ‘bomé¢ bard the fortress of London. Therefore, it is significant that the orders we cap- tured -from occupants of an airplane which dropped bombs here, were merely to bomb London without reference to the localities.’’ Gen. Maurice said a new foe, in the form of fog, had been encountered in the Somme Valley, preventing the use of ar- tillery, and therefore bringing operations to a standstill. —~——— — - MEN WHO WERE SWINDLED TESTIFY IN ‘WILD HORSE CASE’ One Tells of Search in Arizona Moun- tains With Field Glasses for Phantom Herds, OMAHA, Neb., Dece:%.—Examination of witnesses in the Arizona ‘‘wild hgrse case,”’ in which the Government alleges a large number of persons were de- frauded of sums ranging from $1'X% to $25,000 by the sale of phantom herds of wild horses in Coconina County, Ariz., as great ARABIA TAKEN FOR A TRANSPORT, SAYS BERLIN. IN NOTE eee Foreign Office Gives Reasons for Conclusions of Submarine Commander. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Germany, in a note made public ty the Srate Depart- ment, today contends that the British steamer Arabia, sunk in the Mediter- ranean on Nov. 6 was in reality “a transport ship for troops in the serv- ice of the British Government, which is to be considered as an auxtfliary war- ship, according to international law, and can therefore be treated like @ war- ship.”’ The German Government's attitude, however, like that in the Marina case, ig expected to be one of readiness to make amends if it be shown that the submarine commander violated Ger- many’s pledges to the United States. Text of Arabia Note. — The note, addressed by the Berlin Foreign Office to Charge Grew in reply to inquiries, made on instructions from Washington, follows: “Foreign Office, Berlin, Dec. 4, 1916.— The undersigned -has the honor to in- form Mr. Grew, charge daffairs of the United States of America, In reply to the note of the 2lst ultimo., that the investigation conducted by the German Government cancerning the sinking of the British steamer Arabia, has led to the following results: “On the morning of Nov. 6 a German submarine encountered a large steamer coming from the Corigo Straits, 100 nau- tical miles west of the Island of Corigio. The steamer wus painted black and had a black «superstructure and not, as is Otherwise the case with P. & O. line superstructures, a light color. The Steamer, which was identical with the Arabia, was not traveling on the route regularly used by the passenger steam- ers between Port Said and Malta, as ‘s made plain on the enclosed map, but was taking a zigzag course, 120 nautical miles north of that route. Her course, on which the submarine passed three Similar steamers at the sdme spot on the Same morning, leads from the Aegean to Malta, so that the Arabia was moving on the transport route Corigo-Malta, used solely for war purposes, according to the experience until now. Many Chinese on Board. “The commander of the submarine fur- ther ascertained that there were large batches of Chinese and other colored persons in their national costumes on board the steamer. He considered them to be workmen, soldiers, such as are used in great numbers behind the front by the enemies of Germany. In spite of the clear weather and careful ob- servation, he did not perceive any wom- en and children. “In’ these circumstances, the com- mander of the submarine was convinced that in the case of this steamer he was concerned with a transport ship for troops in the service of the British Gov- ernment. which is to be considered as an auxiliary warship, according to inter- treated like a warship. He, accordingly, considered himself justified. in attack- ing the steamer without delay and sank it. “Should the American Government give the official data, showing that the Arabia was at the time of the torpedo- ‘ng an ordinary passenger steamer, the action of the commander would not have been in accordance with the in- structions given him, since these in- structions are now, as before, in agre- nent with the assurances of the Ger- man note of May, 1916. This would then 1 case of regrettable mistake from: Government would appropriate conse- be ; which the German promptly draw the guences.”’ Secretary Lansing refused to comment on the case today and other officials were yeticent. Should it be shown that the Arabia was, as Germany contends, a transport, this Government probably would admit the sinking Was justified. If. however, it is shown that the sub- marine commander was mistaken in holding her to be a transport, a most serious situation will confront the State Department. At the time the Sussex was sunk Germany was told thaj this country could not tolerate “regrettable mistakes.” The Arabia carried more than #0 per- gons, all of whom were saved because of the calm sea, and the fact that the ship remained afloat for a considerable time. Paul R. Danner of Cambridge Mass., who was returning to his home after doing Young Men’s Christian As- sociation work in India, was the only American on board. He said the Arabia was attacked without warning. The sinking of the steamer John Lam- bert was reported to the State Depart- ment by the American embassy in Pari;, French merchantman en route from Montreal for Havre, no effort has beer made to obtain further details. Records of the department show that the Lam. bert sailed from Canada under Frencr papers. An inquiry may be made to establish her exact status. Members of the crew, Americans, who arrived in New York yesterday, said the John Lambert was sunk without warning off the Isle of Wight, Nov. 2. She was built on the Great Lakes for the Frenc line and flew the French flag wher} she went down. Stolen Auto Is Wrecked. Mrs. A. L. Walsh of 924 Clara avenue was singing in a cabaret near Grand avenue and Olive street last night, when her automobile roadster was stolen from the corner. An hour later the car was wrecked in an explosion of gasoline on the Bellefontaine road, a mile west of the city limits.

PLAN TO CONTROL RAILROADS Against Centralization of Power and the Proposal to Leasen Authority of State Boards. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—William J. Bryan appeared today before the joint Congressional Committee investigating transportation problems and opposed centralization of power in the Federal Government in fonnection with railroad suggestions for Federal! incorporation. Bryan also opposed the proposal to lessen the power of State Railroad Com- missions by lodging greater power of regulation in the Interstate Commerce Commission. Bryan declared his opposition was based on the belief that to transfer regulatory power to Washington would impose an impossible burden on the authorities here and inject a tremendous political force into na- tional affairs. Speaking of Government ownership Bryan said he had for a number of BRYAN OPPOSES GOVERNMENT — “OLIVER ASBORNE” : years believed it inevitable and “only because the railroads will never con- sent to effective regulation.” He spoke for Federal supervision of security issues. In some financial operations, Bryan said, the railroads had been: guilty of things “discred- itable to an ordinary highway. rob- ber.” MORE THAN 50,000 HAVE ASKED FOR FARM BANK LOANS Total Applied for Is 8$150,000,000, or Seventeen Times Amount That Will Be Available When Banks Open. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Officials of the Farm Loan Board announced to- day that more than 50,000 farmers had applied for mortgage loans, aggregating approximately $150,000,000 or more than 17 times the amount of money which will be immediately available for loans on the organization of the 12 farm loan banks. Most of the applications have come from the South and West. They continue to come in by hun- dreds every day. Requests for 200 ap- plication blanks, contemplating re- quests for loans to 2000 farmers, have come from Iowa alone. Although the location of the banks probably will not be announced before | Dec. 2, it was said today that almost immediately after organization the banks would find it necessary to issus bonds for virtually their entire capital stock to meet the demands of borrow- ers. NORWEGIAN SHIP ESCAPES FROM U-BOAT WHEN HAWSER PARTS Towing German Submarine, but Gets Away in Darkness—Left Com- mander Behind. LONDON, Dec. 7.—The Norwegian steamer Solvang has arrived in an En- glish port with the story of having es- caped from a German submarine when the hawser with which she was towing the U-boat parted in the middle of the night, but left her own captain aboard the raider. The -Solvang was stopped in the Straits of Gibraltar by a submarine, which had both German and Austrian officers on board, and was told to take the U boat in tow, as she desired to proceed to the Madeira Islands without waiting for oil fuel. The steamer was instructed that she would be expected to wait near the Madeiras to bring the raider back. The submarine was taken in tow Nov. 29, after the ship’s master carried the steamer’s papers aboard the U-boat. On the night of Dec. 1 the hawser broke and the Solvang drove full speed ahead and escaped in the darkness.

PITIED BY ALLEGED DUPES Women He Is Said to Have Courted Shake Hands and Say They Are Sorry for Him. New York, Dec. 7.—Positive identi- fication of Charles H. Wax as ‘Oliver Osborne,”’ elusive swain of a score of young women in this city, which was made yesterday by eight persons, began as a legal proceeding, but developed into & Wwelcome-home reception. He was greeted with all the warmth of a re- turned prodigal. Among the visitors were some of the young women he had courted. Instead of. condemning him, they wished him good luck. Miss Rose Helen Kaiser, who is said to have succeeded Miss Rae Tanzer in his attentions, took both Wax's hands and said, with tears tn her eyes, “I’m so sorry for you.”’ Another young woman, Miss Blanche Younger, when asked by one of the Gov- ernment representatives why she didn’t shake hands with him, said that she would if Wax would permit her to,, She, too, told him how sorry she felt for him, Some Who Identified Him. The persons who established the iden- tity of Wax as the elusive ‘“‘Oliver’’ to the satisfaction of the Federal author- ities, however, were James W. Osborne, mistaken for Wax, either wittingly or unwittingly by Miss Tanzer, according to the prosecution, and Mrs. Osborne. They were corroborated by Edwin Will- cox, Osborne’s ass'‘stant; Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Denham, at whose home Wax roomed, and W. 8S. Kitchen, manager of the Plainfield Hotel, where Miss Tanzer alleges she spent an afternoon with “Oliver.” Wax had admitted his iden- tity to the Osbornes many months ago and then disappeared. In every instance Wax was almost instantly recognized, although he stood in line with newspaper reporters, pho- tographers and Federal officers. In- variably Wax smiled when greeted and shook hands warmly. Wax did not recognize Kitchen until the latter recounted a conversation they had before Wax engaged a room. Then Wax related in detail the circumstances of his visit to the hostelry and deacribed to the minutest detail the hotel’s inte- rior. He identified the signature on the register and wrote duplicates of it for purposes of comparison. .ahe signature was one of the chief points in the many actions that have grown out of the case. Tells of His Adventures, After the Federal officer in charge had announced late yesterday that there would be no other visitors, Wax’s only comment was that he was ‘very hun- gry.’ On being assured that dinner would be ordered forthwith, he told re- porters something of his adventures. Wax detailed his military record in the Philippines, where he said he served for three years as interpreter to Major- General Leonard Wood. He received a jagged ‘‘bolo’’ wound on the left fore- arm and proudly showed the scar. He was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant, he said, and this statement was borne out by the Government offi- cers who had him in charge. He boast- ed of his ability to speak six languages and gave an exhibition of his linguistic THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1916. ie romantic entanglements, other than to say he had “loved many women.” Wax has yet to face Miss Tanzer, the factory worker whose $250,000 breach of promise suit against James W. Osvorne, whom she Accused of courting her as “Oliver Osborne,” led to a succession of legal proceedings. Wax admitted it was he who made love to Miss Tanger. Miss Tanzer Not Called In. The Federal authorities who brought Wax here from Chicago will not invite Miss Tanzer to call upon him., They maintain that James W. Osborne already has been vindicated of the charge of having wooed and won Miss Tanzer under the alias of “Oliver Osborne” as a result of a confession said to have been made by Wax today. Assistant United States District At- torney Roger B. Wood announved the charge of perjury and extortion against Miss Tanzer and several of her wit- nesses in the breach of promise case would be reopened and the cases rushed to trial.

MAYOR DEFENDS PLAN TO CUT Tht TAX RATE Says He ‘Believes Reduction of 10 Cents Will Leave Suf- ficient Revenue. Mayor Kiel, when asked by a Post- Dispatch reporter today if he thought the proposed decrease in the tax rate of 10 cents justifiable in view of the many improvements of various sorts ad- vocated for St. Louis, said he believed the rate would be sufficient to defray all the necessary expenses that should rightfully be paid out of the city reve- nue. J He said that politics had played no part in the decision of himself and Comptroller Player, or if it had it was “bipartisan politics,’ as the Comptroller is a Democrat. The Mayor and Cemptroller, at dan informal meeting of the Board of Es- timate and Apportionment vesterday, agreed to recommend a reduction of 10 cents in the city’s tax rate for the com- ing year to $2.2 on each $100 of val- uation, instead of the $2.35 rate now in force. Louis P, Aloe, President of the Board of Aldermen, and ex officio member of “2? ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH cenit atte not at the meeting. Whether the tax rate is to be reduced will depend on action to be taken by the Board of Aldermen next April or May, when the annual budget is up for consideration. It has been the custom for the Aldermen to comply with the recommendations made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. Mayor Kiel today told a Pest-Dispatch reporter the reason for recommending the decrease in the tax rate is that the city now has in its treasury $1,839,305.40 which was paid by the United Railways Co. last July in tion of the mill up to Juty, 1910. The reduction of 10 cents on the $100 would mean that the city would receive about $600,000 less than last year in taxes, but Mayor Kiel and Comptroller Player say this amount can be made up by taking it out of the mill tax payment. tax which had accrued Hants Richter, Music Conductor, Dies.

We must not allow the character of our nation to be transformed; we cannot afford to ex- change our moral prestige for the privi- lege of terrorizing people with a display of physical force.”’ Bryan departed from the prepared text of his speech to advocate & referendum in proposed declarations of war. “The experience through which Europe is passing,” he said, “suggests the adop- tion of a constitutional amendment pro- viding for a referendum on any decla- ration of war, except when the coun- try is actually invaded. This will not only be a safeguard to us, but it will be an example to the nations of Europe, where the right to declare war is vest- ed in the executive instead of with the legislative body, as here.” On the “Dry” Question. Bryan said, in favor of extending “Ary” territory: “I have saved for the last the reform which will involve the fiercest contest, and which will, when accomplished, bring the largest benefit, namely, abolition of the saloon. “The Democratic party, having won without the aid of the wet cities and having received the support of nearly all the prohibition States and the States where women vote, is released from any obligation to the lNquor traffic. It is free to take the moral side of this great moral issue, and I have no doubt that it will live up to its opportunities and obligations. “The argument that national prohibi- tion is an asasult upon the rights of the States has little weight in the States which have already adopted pro- hibition, and its weight in the nation will, therefore, diminish as the number of prohibition States increases. No friends of State government need be un- easy. The defense of the rights of the States can safely be entrusted to men who are sober and to those who en- courage sobriety by removing the temp- tation that surrounds drinking places.”’ Represéntative Bailey of Pennsylva- nia, a lifelong friend of Bryan, launched a 1920 presidential boom for the former Secretary of State amid great applause. He said Bryan was the logical candi- THE HIGH GOST OF SHOES REDUC ——— 1) $3.0 0 $4 SHOES, $2.49 No Mail Orders Filled.

See hi ean ei ee oS ee AOE PS THINKS EUROPE 1 NOT YET READY 10 ACCEPT PEAGE Church Secretary Says Effort by America Now Might Cause Great Harm. Now is not the time for the United States to attempt to bring about peace in Europe, in the opinion of the Rev. Charles S. Macfarland, general secretary. of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ ih America, who reported to the council, in session at the Second Baptist Church today, his observations on a tour of the war- of He visited England, France and last ring nations Kurope. Germany January. “A mistaken movement for peace at this time might work incalculable harm and delay,’ Dr. Macfarland de- Clared in his report. “The general attitude in Germany has undergone a marked change from the manifest spirit of bitterness at the beginning of the war to their present attitude of Christian recon- ciliation, which they declare to be without reference to the _ political] differences they still maintain. I be- lieve they might easily be ready for an adjustment on the assumption of the situation before the war: in other words, on even terms. The allies, however, especially France, are not ready for this.’’ Dr. North Elected President. The Rev. Dr. Frank North of New York, correspénéin secretary of the Board of Foreign MisSions of the Meth- odist Church, was elected president of the council at last night’s meeting, after having declined the position earlier in the day. Dr. North is widely known as the author of a hymn on social serv- ice, beginning ‘‘Where Cross the Crowd- ed Ways of Life.” This hymn was placed in the new hymnal of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church, by action of the recent general convention of that church, held in St. Louis. The Rev. Dr. Rivington D. Lord and A. R. Kimball, also of New York, were re-elected corresponding secretary and treasurer of the council, all the elec- tions being for terms of four vears. Dr. North, as chairman of the coun- cil’s Executive Committee during the last four years, made his report today, describing the organization’s work and growth during that period. The spe- cific work of the council, which he de- scribed, included war relief propaganda, the increase of chaplains in the army and navy, rural survey of Ohio, .the visit of the general secretary, Dr. Charles Macfarland, to the European countries at war; the visit to Japan in the interest of friendly relations with this country, and the bringing of Japa- nese labor leaders to America. Ministers’ Pension Fund. A plan for an_ interdenominational pension fund for ministers was con- tained in a resolution offered by the Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, stated clerk of the Presbvterian General As- sembly. The proposal was referred to the Business Committee of the Council., The Home Missions Council, in its re- port to the Federal Council, this after- noon, recorded progtfess of the Amer- ican Indian and the negro. It was stat- ed that the Indians are more than hold- ing their own in population and that a generation of ‘‘alert, enterprising In- dian citizens and church members’’ is growing up. The Home Mission Boards, it was stated, have arranged a division of their Indian work, to avoid overlap- ping. Of the Southern negroes, it was stated 70 per cent can read and write, as com- pared with 10 per cent a half century ago. They have built and control 200 private schools. Wealth of Negroes. “A half million negroes,’ the report says, “own homes and farms valued at a billion dollars; 1000 patents have been entered in the Patent Office by colored people; 30,000 negroes are en- gaged as architects, electricians, pho- tographers, druggists, physicians, own- ers of department stores, mines, cotton mills, dry goods stores and wholesale houses. They publish 400 newspapers. Wisely the colored man has turned from the crowded cities to the open country] in the South. Forty per cent of all agricultural laborers in the South are negroes.”’ Regarding the work of cities, the report says: “One sermon a week to a selected au- dience of a few hundred people is likely to be very satisfactory to this chosen company, while it is a totally inexcusable extravagance of the Lord’s money. Re- leasing us from unnecessary denomina- tional competition may permit us to cash in many millions of dollars of unearned increment on our real es- state, with the consequence that vast funds will be released and ample ener- gies liberated by which every section of every city can have an adequate admin- istration representative of the types Of our faith properly needed and reasonably proportioned to the magnitude of the task.’’ churches in HOW ABOUT A DIAMOND BROOCH for mother’s Christmas gift?

The prisoner Says he attended Washington University in St. souis, Louis Erb has been unable to obtain bond and said he had refused to tell of his plight to his wealthy relatives. He declared he made a foyune in railroad ventures and in deals in Mexico, but had lost money in stocks.

Martin Total .. _—— A more definite idea of the greater expense attaching to this year’s com- munity hospitality to the destitute fam- ilies, children and homeless men in S8t. Louis, through the Post-Dispatch Christ- mas Festival, was had through reports to the Executive Committee of that in- stitution at its weekly meeting vyes- terdayv. In every branch of the eveat there is heavier cost. Chairman James A. Reardon wf the Gift Committee reported that his pur- chases of dolls, hockey caps, pocket knives, rubber balis and buzgzers aggre- gated about $400 more than last year, and yet some of these purchases were made several months ago. Pocket knives, for instance, are today nearly double what he paid earlier in the vear, and without exception he got in ahead of a substantial portion of the increased price as it stands today. The dinners for homeless men are to cost 20 per cent more than last year, as shown by the proposa! submitted. The neavier cost of the Jinner basket sup- plies was indicat:.: ‘» detafled figures published in the : - ispatch on Sun- day. Some of thes: \:7\e advanced more than 100 per cent, from wiich the range downward is to 20 per cent. The Ex- ecutive Committee approved the report of the Purchasing Committee, of which Louis Nolte is chairman, to fill the baskets with about the same supplies as last vear. Hospitality Won't Be Curtailed. While the cost of the hospitality is thus shown to be largely increased, it is not the purpose to curtail the scepe of it to the slightest extent. It prob- ably will be found that there are fewer destitute persons for whom this com- munity hospitality agency must provide Christmas comfort and cheer than ‘n most former years, owing to the wider range of employment, but it is not be- lieved that tha reduction in this line will offset the greater cost of supplies. j Hence it is regarded as inevitable that a substantially larger financial support of the cause this vear wiil be found nec- essary and that the $12,000 submitted to the public as the estimate will prove to be rather below than in excess of the requirement. The Committee on Lists, of which Dr. George B. Mangold is chairman, and of which C. M. Hubbard, C. J. Kehoe and Oscar Leonard, representing three of the older and more extensive charity agencies of the city, are advisers in the matter of an improved system, an- nounced a gratifying change in the di- rection of delivery of the baskets. Un- der the new order fully two-thirds cf the baskets can and will be delivered direct to the families, instead of hav- ing the recipients call at a central sta- tlon for them. Quite a number of fami- lies, for whom these established agen- cies provide during more or less of the vear, become guests of the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival on that day so far as the dinner is concerned, hence are known to the respective organizations. Through their faeilities from 1200 to 1509 of the baskets can be delivered direct, it is already known, and the committee will endeavor to so extend the new sys- tem that even a larger proportion can be thus placed. Gratifying to Committec. This is gratifying to the Executive Committee especially for the reason that the pride of the destitute families will escape the shock that naturally at- taches to personal call at a central de- livery station for the basket and this is a consideration that is sacrediy re- garded by the committee. It is the con- stant desire and endeavor of those di- recting the bestowal of hospitality to do so with entire absence of ostentation or involving the community’s guests to any greater degree than is absolutely unavoidable. How this can best be done has been a problem with which the Festival Executive Committee has wrestied for years, and each year marked by progress toward the desired end. It fe belfeved that the solution is very nearty reached. _Chatrman Stephen A. Martin of the Tree Committee reported distinct head- way made on the detal!l with which it ie charged, that of obtaining and in- stalling the Christmas tree in the Coll- seum. As in former years, the South- western Telegraph and Telephone Co. announced that it would find pleasure im providing the tree.

This harmless preparation will digest a heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discom- fort, and relieve the sourest, acid stomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all sour, nauseous odors from the breath. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on each 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin, then you will readily understand why this promptly overcomes indi- gestion and removes such symptoms as heartburn, a feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, belching of gas and eructations of undigested food, water brash, acidity, nausea, headache, biliousnes and many other bad symptoms; and, besides you will not need laxatives to keep your somach, liver and intestines clean and fresh. If your stomach is sour and full of gas or your food doesn’t digest, and your meals don’t seem to fit, why not get a 50-cent case from your druggist and make life worth living? Absolute relief from stomach misery and perfect digegtion of anything you eat is sure to follow five min- utes after, and besides, one case is sufficient to rid a whole family of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, mo gers preparation like Diapeps which will aways, either at daytime or during night, relieve your stomach misery and digest your meals, is about as handy and valuable a thing as you could have in the house.— ADV.

Y., read an advertisement in one of the Brooklyn papers, in which a $200 Victrole was offered at $60. Mr. Stone communicated with the advertiser. i ‘‘Tt’s a shame,’’ said the latter, ‘‘but I’ve te let the machine go. It belongs to my daughter. She bought it a couple of months ago, and it’s as good as new. Now she’s come to live with me aad there’s a talking machine in the house already. So what can I do? This all sounded very reasonable, so Mr. Stone took the machine. It didn’t take him te it wasn’t a Victrola at all, and that he had swindled. ‘THE HOUSE OF ST LOUIS’ LARGEST ANP BEST GRUPPE CANO GAP VISIR IR 1006 Olive St. A EY We th TS ¥ \ 2) Ask to See Our 5 Popular-Priced Special at which includes Victrola : and 24 Selections §& Your own choice from the list below N or our complete library, of 10 double ef, records.

I agree with President Aloe in the plan to abol- ‘ish the Union Station and compel the railroads to provide separate depots. We should, by all means have a depot at Jefférson Barracks, one at the Chain of Rocks, one in East St. Louis or Belleville and one out near the Country Club. Then all travelers passing through the city would have to spend 10 cents with the U. R. and this would en- able that infant industry to replace its flat wheels, buy coal and make an installment on its mill tax. This is*a great stheme, and its possibilities are without end, and I am surprised that no one has thought of it before. Trains outbound could be scheduled to depart before inbound trains ar- rivea so that passengers would have to remain » ovér night, thus helping out the movies and hotels. _I'ean see no reason why this will not work here as well as in Chicago, for it certainly works there. I got into Chicago over the Milwaukee at 11:45 and the Wabash leaves for St. Louis at 12:05 but from another depot, requiring 80 minutes to. reach, so I had to remaih until 11:80 p. m. and spent $6.35. Had there been a union depot I would have had this money to spend when I got to S8t. Chicago is all Went, in some things, and we should profit by her foresight, and keep in line with the broad and progressive spirit, which per- mits of no outsider partaking of our bounties without “coughing’up.” With the national reputa- tion we have for the largest and best producers of such useful commodities as beer, overalls, brogans and bologna sausage, we have nothing to fear from petty competitors, and the stranger passing through town is so accustomed to being held up that it really makes no difference. furtherance of this general plan I believe it would be advisable to charge visitors a quarter for permission to pass through the town, the proceeds from this fund to be set aside for the purpose of advertising our great resources, hospitality and various depots. We want it understood that we do bub!ness on businessa principle and are not run- ning a city for our health—notbyadamsite. ¢ H. Ll. SPRADLING, Webster Groves, ey Salaries of Police Officers. Te the ‘Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to Captains’ and Sergeants’ salary, I would like to ask a few questions. If the Cap- tains and the high city officials can’t cet along on their fat salaries now, what do they think of the poor $55 and $65 fellows with families, and have to work 98 and 10 hours per day? Tam always glad ‘o see everybody get as mich as they can, but am of the opinion the Sergeants and Captains are getting a fair salary now. The police should get $90 or $100, as they are taking mére chances than Captains and Sergeants, but I do think that somebody cught to start something for the poor clerk getting $65 to $75 and have to work $ and 10 hours per day. Tt seems like there ia nothing said about the average man; it is always something for somebody doing well enougnh. A. CLERK. dhe 6 \ A Plea for Lehiency. ° To. the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. J would iike to make a plea for the Lewis boys and all the transgressors with hopes more of haying a prison reform. I don't believe in capital Punishment; it is the lighter infliction and it don't give them a chancé to reform. Under the same circumstances (all considered) wé would all do the same things; we are all the -vietime of circumstances to a very great extent. a aN depends on the point of view, which some- imes needs changing and is changing because the ma@es acts on each one, and each one on the mass and Christ and Adam on us all. Don't you know that as one feels and thinks, we aré all ted to certain degrees. We are all joined together in one mental or spiritual body and thé head ts Christ. For this reason we should love each other and help those members that are sick an@ deluded with too much Adam. Now reforma- tion cancels the crime. He says “vengeance is mine; IT will repay.” He will also remove them from the earth in due season. And the prison only ketps them from these deeds, but not their théughts and desires, which sometimes are more rmful. Théey throw thelr mental influence on wrong side, but we leve them with our hearts | that they will awake and they will, for the body will one day be perfected.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, THURSDAY E THE BRITISH CRISIS. Lioyd-George undertakes the task of organiz- ing a new Cabinet under extraordinary condi- tions. The British nation is confronting the greatest crisis/in its history— a crisis involving the vital interests, if not the life, of the British empire. Having come into power and popularity as the vigorous and courageous leader of the radical wing of the Liberals, he is now called to the head of the Government as the idol of the Tories, his former enemies. A few years ago, when Lloyd- George was fighting aristocratic privilege and land monopoly he was the black beast to the men who are now demanding his governmental léadership. From the leadership of the British democracy he assumes the leadership of the forces of cen- tralization. The crisis which brings him to the front he has in the main caused by demanding with his former enemies of the Conservative benches and the Conservative press a practical dictatorship for the conduct of the war. As the conduct of the war nearly absorbs the ener- gies and vesources of the nation, the demand is in effect for a national dictatorship. The Lloyd- George group insists upon a government within che Government, c#nposed of a small War Coun- cil, with the power and responsibility of direct- ing the war. It is not astonishing that Lloyd-George should join hands with the forces of centralization. Al- though he has led the British democracy, he has long been enamored of the German Socialistic or- ganization. Paternalism has been the form of much of his social program in behalf of the people. The new Premier has a double task, either one of which calls for a man of genius. He has a huge task of diplomacy and statesmanship at home. He must weld together the political forces neces- sary to the organization of a strong Government. If he succeeds in this he must then organize vic- tory in the field. Measurable success in the first task is necessary to obtain the opportunfty for the second. Suc- cess in the second will assure continued success at home. How much party politics and personal ambition have had to do with the present govern- mental crisis cannot be determined yet. But back of these tors in the upheaval is popular tur- moil, caused by a search for the man who is capable of doing the work that the nation must do. The British people are seeking the man of the hour, the leader who can command efficiency at home and in the field. They will overturn Cabinets and military staffs until they find him. In our Civil War Lincoln was forced to shift com- mand until he found in Grant the man who dem- onstrated successful leadership with a sheaf of victories. Lloyd-George has proved his possession of great qualities of leadership. In energy, resource- fulness, magnetism, vision, he is easily the first man in England. Has he the qualities of parlia- mentary and governmental leadership—the astute- ness, diplomacy, skill and executive ability which have served Asquith in holding and directing his Liberal forces for the performance of a construc- tive legislative program and in combining all fac- tions for more than two years of the most stren- uous work of war? | All of this is in the lap of the future. Several governmental crises may be necessary to a de- cision. The political battle in London is of greater interest and importance than any part of the struggle at the front. It may have a far- reaching influence on the war, its duration and decision. It may greatly influence our relations with Great Britain and our attitude in the war. r= = The high prices due to excess of gold has made it a serious matter to grubstake miners. hy he een i i WISE AND UNWISE BELGIANS. Having practically been told that the Belgian deportations were none of her business, Holland makes explanations disclosing her interest from a new angle. | After the capture of Brussels and Antwerp, tens of ened. |G of Belgians fled to Holland and were interned.:'/Germany’s early policy after tighten- ing her hoki on Belgium was to induce &s many as possible of these refugees to return. The Hol- land Government, burdened with the care of the unfortunates, induced large numbers to go back on a specific agreement with the German authori- ties as to their treatment. This agreement includ- ed the stipulation that they should not be taken to Germany. -The Netherlands, accordingly, which became & party to the guarantee, has a very material and compelling interest in its deliberate violation. If Germany regards this, like prior engagements re- specting Belgium, as only a scrap of paper, Hol- land purposes that the world shall understand that she, too, was victimized and that she does not desire to share in the humiliation or the re- proach. Those wiser Belgians who did not trust Ger- many and refused to go back, remaining in Hol- land or proceeding to other.countries, knew what they were about. La Li hi» GIVE HIM A MOTOR TRUCE. It is to be hoped that no croaking penny-pinch- er will arfme to assail that item in the national budget which recommends an appropriation of $6000 to buy an automobile for the Secretary of State. What if it be true that he would be as certain to get hither and yon in-a machine that would cost only a twelfth of the money? No doubt many an honest, plain son of the soil actually does find the democratic flivver all anybody needs, but what of it? What difference does it make, pray, if many a potential President of the United States, to say nothing of Cabinet members, does not find it beneath his dignity to trudge about on foot or trundle along in the humble street car? | Put yourself, O ye congenital carpers, into the other fellow’s place. Suppose, if your supposer is working good, that you were Secretary of State. Suppose that you had to tote around with you the Mexican imbroglio and the painful re- alization that Villa refuses to be got. Suppose that you had to conduct a row with England about the mails and another with Germany about sub- marines. Suppose you had on your hands the Santo Domingo shindy, the Cuban election and the Japan-China muddle, Suppose you were trying to settle the Belgian deportation ‘business and were trying to get Tarkow-Tarnowski across the Atlantic. Would you, in all candor and fairness, be willing to carry all that burden around in a’ flivver? By all means give the Secretary of State a $6000 car. If necessarv, give him a motor truck. The 10-cent cut in the tax rate, reported to be agreed upon by Mayor Kiel and Comptroller Play- er, is a picayunish policy. The plea of poverty is the usual obstacle to im.- \vements in St. Louis. It is the chronic ob- jection of the Comptroller, who recently threat- ened the city with bankruptcy on account of the municipal bridge and other public works. Because we happen to have a little extra money in the mil] tax payment, part of this windfall is to be taken for current expenses and we are warned that appropriations for things needed will have ‘to be cut. - It is easy to cut the tax rate, but the hardest thing in the world to get it raised again, on ac- count of politics; so probably Messrs. Kiel and Player will leave the city a legacy of poverty which will be a bar to progress for years to come. The tax cut may be good politics in the smallest sense of the word, but it is bad municipal busi- ness. We need more, not less, revenue. But we should have it spent in the right direction—not to support political hangers-on at the city hall. = = = — SS: The international peace arrangement should be carved in granite. No more “scraps of paper.” a A — THIRD TERM FOR WILSON. Ex-Boss Croker returns to this country to pre- dict that President Wilson- will, be given a third term and that this honor will be accorded with the support of “Republicans and all persons who are interested in good governmené.” It is perhaps natural that a tribute to Mr. Wil- son from one who has been out of touch witno the country for some years should take this form. [It happens, too, that Mr. Wilson is not bound by any “under-no-circumstances” pledges. But it also happens that recent experiences in this country have not been such as to cultivate in our Presidents or ex-Presidents any very in- tensive ambition to run for third terms. = = rr 4 Again it is reported that the Russian booze fighter “‘tanks up” on furniture polish. Doubtless it adds to his zeal in smashing his furniture. _=_— = * ww eS JUDGE GRIMM AND THE JUVENILE COURT. Judge Grimm’s explanatjon of why he did not yield to the request of many forward-looking citi- zens that he remain-in charge of the Juvenile Court for another year is both clear and con- vincing. He felt that he did not wish to retain the burden with the handicaps involved in the present system. Believing that the Judges of the Circuit Court as a whole might be able to find a way out of the difficulty, he thought it bad taste in him to outline to the other Judges the condi- tions upon which he would be willing to retain the place. : The jurist’s theory of what the Juvenile Court ought to be are in line with Post-Dispatch sug- gestions on the subject To link the Juvenile Court to a criminal division he declares inde- fensible from any point of view. It ought to te a separate division and the man in charge of it ought to be free to give it the time and attention it deserves. He should rot be troubled with jury cases elsewhere. He shnuld not be subjected to the embarrassment and difficulty of finding his own substitute if, for any reason, he must be ab- sent from his duties. It is to be hoped that the Judges in general term will find a means to remedy matters. If it is necessary, the people should be willing to in- crease the number of Judges. St. Louis cannot afford ta be dilatory or negligent about a matter that touches the welfare of the children. = = * rr There is a movement on foot among the reg- ular pastors to put all evangelists on salary to keep them from making so much money by collec- tions.

Sometimes it takes a great catastrophe to test the breed of men and sometimes it takes only a small matter of sport. Witness the following item of news: Frank McAnaw was one of the mainstays of the 1916 football team at Missouri University. Big, strong, cool, aggressive and plucky, he es- sayed the difficult position of guard. The guard’s job is not the place for the man who likes to show off. Its holder rarely gets into the critic’s adjective-besprinkled story of the game. When the backs are lugging the ball for touchdowns and the kickers are amazing the spectators with field. goals d spiral punts, the humble but necessary guard is down in the mass, almost un- noticed, performing the routine work indispen- sable for the success of his team. All year long McAnaw had been doing his work faithfully, for the love of the game and the glory of his alma mater. The climax towards which coaches and players had for weeks been striving was to come with the annual Missouri-Kansas contest. Always the “big game’”’ at both institutions, this year it was to be of special interest because the opponents seemed evenly matched and a conference cham- pionship depended upon the outcome. Almost at the.eleventh hour Frank was called to his home at Cameron, Mo., by the news that his father was critically ill. His loss to the team Staggered the hopes of the Missourians and bet- ting odds umded to 2 to 1 on Kansas. When the yotng man appeared at his father’s bedside, the elder McAnaw told him he must let no consideration keep him out of the game; that he owed it to his college and his teammates to go in and play to the utmost there was in him. Rather reluctantly Frank rejoined his squad on its way to Lawrence. The story of how the outweighed line of. which he was a part performed its task on that day will go down into the traditions at Missouri. At home the rapidly failing father waited impatiently to hear the a irae told him his boy's team had won. Ten minutes later he was dead. When it comes to real dramatic episodes, what # tremendous advantage the reporter has over } the novelist and the playwright! ae 4 , x OS Re Ran se Se ia a8 PAE PS ey ee ee pa. Bei: eh alia aia.

ST A MINUTE EE ~~ A NATIONAL BASIS FOR BOOSTING. CERTAIN traveling man visits this city. His A first few visits resulted in poor business for him, and it was his wont to say: _ ‘Of all the cities I make, and I make them all. St. Louis is the worst. It is the deadest. There is no-life. The people are stick-in-the-muds,’’ And other small gems of cheer. In the course of time his business grew to consid- eral proportions here, and his song changed. ‘*This,’’ chanted he, ‘‘is my idea of a regular town. The people are a bit conservative, but soundly so. I’d like to live here. What a wonderful residence dis- trict you have!’’ All of which goes to prove what I have long main- tained—that it takes a successful man to be a booster, and that boosting is not necessarily a success. Ac- cording to the brilliant staff of theoretical business men who write those stunning business stories for the Saturday Evening Post, the lad who boosts is the lad who succeeds. But not so, good friends. It takes a success to be the genuine 99.9 pure ‘booster. Such a one has some- thing to boost about. First he gets his, and then tells you what a dandy place it was he got it in. - Show me a man who has done well in a community, and I will show you a plugger for that community. The better he has done, the bigger he will plug. And the chappie who goes about telling everyone what a grand old burg it is, and hasn’t a cent in his jeans to prove it, is fooling only himself. He is not a booster.” He is a simp. One peculiar feature of the psychology of St. Louis is the number of successful men who are exceptions that prove the rule as I have stated it. A perversity of mental habi€ makes a certain class of successful St. Louis business men nod in agreement with the blatant visitor from Kansas City, who kindly tells why a committee should be appointed to find a suit- able final resting place for St. Louis. The men af- flicted with this disease, which might be called ‘‘St, Louis Melancholia,’’ are as incurable as any cases of real melancholia. Such people will continue to de- plore their good fortune and blacken the name of the place in which it was achieved. But to the new, vigorous, healthy, successful boost- er for St. Louis I bring words of good cheer. A brother raises his voice to let you know you are not alone. While our lungs hold out—and we are making money here—let’s let the world know what a rip- snorter she is! W. B. 8. THE OPTIMISTS.

For once, with Morpheus’ aid, I stole away, And lightly sped unto a well-loved shade, Where swaying branches in the still stream made Fantastic shadows, as of nymphs at play. Upon the leafy carpet of the bower I rested, harking to the clear, high notes That joyous sprang from brown-clad thrushes’ throats, And drowsy hum that told of ravished flower. Then, as I worshipped thus at nature’s shrine, Above me bent that form to flesh denied; The face long-sought smiled on me, glorified By love, and sweet lips murmured, ‘‘I am thine.”’ One poignant kiss—and flesh reclaimed its own, But °twas too late—in that brief space the soul Possessed a joy that all the :c1Yre to roll Can ne’er bedim, nor all eartit's pains atone.

Letters written to the board amplify the suggestions made originally. Speaking of the wall entrance of calle Gen. Luna, attention is called to the fact that for years vines have served to hide dark and dingy dun- geons, which could be converted into unique and picturesque market stalls for the sale of flowers, the change typify- ing to the passerby the advent of hap- pier and peaceful days. In advocating the planting of fire trees on both sides of the road leading to the Montalbah water reservoir, attention is called to the fact that Manila needs color, and a variety of it, and that this curving and winding road would offer gorgeous vista to the traveler when the trees are in bloom. Bathing piers, at least two of them, the letters continue, are much in de- mand for swimming lovers, and the army bathing pier near the Military Plaza i& offered 1 example.

The West Has Made Love- Making the Basis of Its Dancing; in Japan Other Emotions Besides Ro- mantic Love Are Sym- bolized in the Dance. By MARGUERITHD MOOERS-MAR- SHALL. AST is East and West is West, but week the two will meet. For on Wednesday at the Comedy The- ater in New York will meet Michio Itow in the first Japanese character dances ever given in that city. Hawaiian danc- ers, Russian dancers, Salome dancers, Apache dancers, classic dancers, have thrilled or chilled us. Now for the first time we shall see a new Terpsichore, with eyebrows slanted and wearing a kimono. For the edification of the four hundred thousand, I may say that the four hun- dred have shown great interest in Michio Itow of Nippon. In London he has danced at the home of the Asquiths, of Lady Paget, of Lady Cunard, of Lady Islington. In New York he has appeared in the drawing room of Mrs. Benjamin Guinness and other society women have been charmed by his beautiful and ex- otic performance, An Artist in a Perfect Studio. Sitting in a chair covered with a mar- velous gold-colored kimono decorated with scarlet birds, I talked with Michio Itow about the dancing of the East and West. He is a siender young man, with a long, rather feline face. His mouth is full and deeply indented; his burnished black hair reaches In an uncut line from his forehead to his neck. His long, nar- row brown eyes are racially brilliant and inexpressive, but he knows how to make his face a portrait gallery of emo- tion. Also—what is infinitely rarer, even among dancers—his supple body picto- rializes a passion with a minimum of violent movement. And he inhabits the most truly artistic studio I ever entered. It contains a desk, a piano, two chairs and a vase of yellow chrysanthemums. ‘Tn the beginning, in my country,” he explained, ‘‘dancing was used to illus- trate poems. The poem was read or chanted while the dance was being per- formed. But I believe that dancing should express feeling, tel] stories direct- ly. I do not think that poems are neces- sary to it. Suppose that a little boy wants a donkey. Perhaps he asks for it by using the word. Yet, if he can look like a donkey, he does not need the word, does he?” ‘But I am sure.” I teld Michie Itow, “that you never look like a donkey. The question is, what do you look like when you dance? Please tell me about your dances.”’ His Sho-Jyo Sure to Be Popular in New York. “One is called Sho-Jyo,”’ he elucidated. “In English I have described it as ‘The Spirftt of Wine—A symbol of happi- ness,’ ” I was relieved. New York, I felt sure, would understand this; especially seo soon after election night. “In this dance,” Michio Itow continued gravely, “I am a young boy, with hair red as wine, as blood, as joy. I come to meet my companions, a wine-cup held high in my hand I quaff it, dancing joyously. The dance grows more and more delirious. Finally, the dancer, keyed to the highest pitch of ex- ultation, fails dead. “All great emotions end in supineness, nothingness. When one loves a little, one dances a little. When one loves a great deal, one dances beautifully. But supreme passion finds its only expres- sion in silence. And what is true of love, is true of joy, sorrow, hate, jealousy, every emotion. “In another dance I tell the story of Hangia, the female demon.”’ Itow’s rather blurry English. Haven't you always longed to know, even at sec- ondhand, a female demon? Dumas’ ‘Mi- ladi” ig the reason most people read “The Three Musketeers;"’ she is such 4 thoroughly unregenerate demon. How- ever, Michio Itow’s is ever more thril)- ing. “The Haengia lived in a cave,” he in- Kipling notwithstanding — next, I Ustened harder than ever to Michio, Yow OER HENRY SRR “7 iv ' Wcman of 70 {ls Not Too Old to Dance, Says New Terpsichore in a Kimono, - Ofions of Far East ig Emotions of Far East | New Collars for Old Coats.

When it opened she rushed in, seized the new-bom child in the house anc carried it off for her supper. One night she could find no new-born child in all the village. Hungry and baffled, she tried to fly back to her cave. But she met the North Wind and he buffet- ed her until, in her weakened condition, he blew her quite away and she never returned to the village again.’” Nijinsky gave us “‘The Afternoon of @ Faun;’’ Michio Itow will show us the afternoon of a tox—a real one, not the trotting variety. ‘In my fox dance,”’ he sald, “I am a fox who comes out of his hole when the sun is shining brilliantly. He so rejoices in it that he dances till he drops dead.” I had always supposed that foxes had a predilection for dark nights rather than sunlight, but there was a question more interesting than a zoological one Occidental Dancing Runs Too Much to Leve Theme. I aaid, “In your whole program,” “there seems to be no dance of love— sex-love. Why is that?’ ‘In the West you have made sex the basis of your dancing,” he re- plied. “Your dances are all more or less conventionalized forms of the love-making between man and wom- an. To use the dance for that and only that is to narrow its possibili- ties and its beauties. In Japan many other emotiors besides romantic love are expressed in the dance. All feel- ing is line. “Another difference between the dancing of East and West is that you use your feet and we our bodies. I think that must be because you have Jarge rooms in which to dance, while ours are small.” “What do you think of our social dancing as an art?’ I asked. “T cannot consider it in that light,” Mr. Itow replied with candor, “But it is interesting and shows some imag- ination—if only the thought of a well-cooked dinner, a good glass of wine, a pretty face. ‘Dancing,’ he concluded, “is the art of expression open to every man, woman and ohild. It is the natural outlet of happiness. That modern men and women must be taught to dance is a commentary on the un- happiness of our age. Even a woman of 70 is not too old to dance.”’ And now I've nearly forgotten to tell you what New York’s newest dancer wears.

Persons who attended last night's ses- sion of the cost of living inquiry in the chamber of the Board of Aldermen heard the explanations of wholesalers, jobbers and retailers concerning the present high prices. The merchants al- most uniformly declared they were mak- ing no money, in spite of the excessive prices of all commodities, and some * told of losses. Contrasting with the statements of other witnesses that there is a shortage of nearly everything edible, was the ‘testimony of William H. Tumbrink, man- ager of a cold storage company, that . $n his concern’s plant there were 3,600,- 000 pounds of beef, 1,000,000 pounds of * poultry and 23,000 barrels of apples. + J. W. Corcoran, a commission mer- 3 chant explained that potatoes are 100 per cent higher in price this year than last because of a failure of crops in the eastern part of the country. The only potatoes obtainable, he said, were those grown in Idaho and Washington. Cabbage for the making of kraut had “to be imported from British Columbia, -and its cost included a tariff.

All,of them ridiculed the idea of any “corner” in foodstuffs. Retail grocers declared that they were not making “‘living wages’’ in their business. In addition to the shortage due to small crops, other explanations of th2 high prices offered to the committee were the practice of packing commodi- ties in containers instead of selling them in bulk; the threat of a railroad strike last summer, and the consequent heavy purchases of dealers’ stocks by house- wives; the foreign demand; inadequate transportation and the withholding of their products by farmers.

UMMERCE BOARD - WANTS SWEEPING RAILRUAD CHANGES Recommends Laws to Fix Rates, Fares, etc., to Stick Except by Commission’s Order. 7.—The Inter- in its an- recom- WASHINGTON, Dec. state Commerce Commission nual report today to Congress mended a sweeping change in methods of establishing freight and passenger rates so that shippers would not longer be compelled to show a proposed rate unreasonable or see it become effective. Carriers seeking to aiter a rate would be compelled to show the change was reasonable. The recommendation is “that by stat- ute Congress fix the interstate rates, fares, charges, classifications. rules and regulations existing at a specific date. prior to that of enactment, as just and reasonable for the past, and provide that no change therein after that spe- cified date may be made except upon order of the Commission: with provis- ion that such statute shal! not affect the proceedings pending at the time of enactment.”’ The purpose of the suggestion is said to be mainly to correct flaws in the present method by which an injured shipper seeks reparation for payment of a higher rate than subsequently is ap- proved by the commission. Effect of the Change. It was said, however, that the effect of such legislation would be radical upon methods of rate establishment. At present tariffs proposing rate changers hled by the railroads become operative on a fixed date unless suspended by the commission and shown on hearing te be unreasonable, unjust or discrim- inatory. If existing rates ate declared by statute to be just and reasonable, it was pointed out, the burden will be on those who wish to change them. To relieve car shortage the commis- sion asks legislation giving it authority to prescribe rules governing interchange of cars, return to owning roads, load- ing conditions on foreig roads and compensation for the use of cars. The commission further recommends that unless the suggestions for fixing existing rates by statute is followed the law be changed to curtail the present period of suspension and resuspension of a fixed rate from 14 months to a year and that railroads be required to give 60 instead of the present 30 days notice of proposed rate changes.

PICKET PLANT ON APPEAL Higher Court Says Workers Cannot Be Stopped From Striking er Remaining Near Works. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—The right of the members of the Tri-City Central Trades Council of Madison County, IIL, to picket the plant of the American stee! foun- dries was upheld today by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in a decision reversing the United States Dis- trict Court. The ‘lower court was di- rected to modify its decree enjoining picketing. “The right to strike for higher wages and improved conditions of labor is too firmly established to necessitate further elucidation,”’ the decision said. “In the pursuit of a lawful purpose to secure a raise in wages, picketing mav be employed, as this court has heid, to ascertain whom the late employer has persuaded or attempted to persuade t° accept employment, and persuasion may be used to induce them to refuse cr quit employment. “Undoubtedly picketing and persuasion would interfere with the plaintiff's con- duct of its business, but the lawfulness of the strike is not to be tested by any such incidental effect of it.” USE YOUR CREDIT for vour Christmas cifts.

Mrs. Russell refused to vacate and Foley got a revolver. Mrs. Russell’s screams for help at- tracted Samuel R. Kenney, a private watchman, who was in his room on the first floor. He took the revolver from Foley, but in the scuffle was shot in the right leg. Foley then went to his room and got a knife, which Kenney also took from him. Kenney and Foley were taken:-'to the city hospital; where the latter was treat- ed for a scratch on the neck which he had inflicted himself with the knife.

Would Train Mechanics. “Should the United States ever be called upon to meet a great military emergency a large army would have to be sustained and supported by a highly co-ordinated industrial system. “There should therefore be in the country at all times a great body of men trained as mechanics whose places in such an emergency would be not in the ranks of the fighting forces but at the lathes and forges from which the ammunition supply of the army must be drawn. “I venture to believe that if the Fed- eral Government were to establish in a number of places throughout the country schools preparatory to the mili- tary academy at West Point and the naval academy at Annapolis, in which the rudiments of a sound education, the elements of mechanical skill, the prin- ciples of business oc-ordination, and the urges that preparatory schools be es-} Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in it, before breakfast.

Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the most abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is. a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumulates in the tis- sues, also attacks the bones. Every man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day’s indi- gestible material, the poisons, bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and freshening the entire ali- mentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.

Scott, who was Secretary ad interim after the resigna- tion of Secretary Garrison. He reviews briefly the histoty of affairs on the Mexican border, beginning with the raid on Columbus, N. M., and carrying it forward to Nov. 20, the date of the re- port. On that day, he says, there are still 110,000 officers and men of the na- tional guard on the border in addition to approximately 48,000 members of the regular army. Under the subheading, “‘The present situation,’’ the report continues: “The mere presence of this enlarged force has served to preserve peace and protect life and property.

The Gealers will not say what price the allies are paying for horses, but it is said to be-between $180 and $200, with mules bringing from $135 to $185. The British, French, Belgians and Ital- jans are buying animals every day, and the United States army is making pur- chases one day out of each week.

When the receivership suit brought by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph O’Brien of 2618 Hodiamont avenue against the Missis- sippi Valley Motion Picture Corporation was called for trial in Judge Koerner’s court today, B. L. Matthews, attorney for the plaintiffs, asked that it be dis- missed, and’ this was done. Matthews said that an amicable settle- ment, satisfactory to his clients, had been reached out of court. O’Brien invested some money in the concern and was made superintendent of the ‘company’s plant at Suburban Garden. In a dispute a few days ago about money with George W. Helmrich he shot and wounded Helmrich. The fil- ing of the receivership suit followed. HIGH SCHOOL PLANT WILL FURNISH LIGHT, HEAT, POWER Expected to Be Ready to Operate in East St. Louis Building by New Year. It is expected that the new lighting, heat and power plant will be ready to operate at the East St. Louis High School and Horace Mann School by the first of the year. One of the two en- ines has been installed. The plant will be installed at a total cost estimated at $9300. The light and power bill for the two schools, which adjoin, iS now about $150 a month. This is outside the cost of fuel. The new plant furnishes light, heat and power. The only increase in the operating cost of the new plant over the old heating plant, alone, will be the cost of a slightly larger amount of fuel. No new employes will be needed. A new manual training shop, not yet opened, will be supplied with power.

ROME, Dec. 7.—A motion introduced in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday urging peace was defeated by a vote of 343 to 47. Those who voted in the mi- nority were mostly Socialists. Premier Bonselli asked for the rcjection of the motion not, he said, because he wished the Italian Parliament to vote against peace in itself, but against an Italian in- itiative for peace while the country was pledged with its alies not to end the war until victory was attained. 50 BELOW ZERO AT FAIRBANKS Fuel Scarce, and Many Persons Move Into Hotels, FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec. 7.—With the temperature 530 degrees below zero, this city is suffering from a scarcity of fuel.

COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. 7.—Letter men of the 1216 varsity footbéll squad of the University of Missouri. will assemble this week to select the captain for nexty year’s team. Letters will probably be awarded on Friday ang it is thought that the leader will be “hosen then. Hamilton, a center, Stankowski, quar- terback, and Rider, fujlback, are the outstanding choices for “he honor, with the tiny fleld general having the edge. At this time it seems that Coach Schulte will go to the post in 197 with the nucleus for a very strong team, es- pecially in the backflel4. Only one of the backs who recently“*helped to bring the Missouri oe titie-to Missouri wil be missing. He is MeMf:lan, a halfback Stankowski, the quar erback; Rider, fullback, and Collins an: Viner, regular halves, are due to *eturn. Morris, Haines and White, ali of whom did backfield duty in the recent games, will also be back. Not only will Schulte have these men but Peterson, formerly of the Westminster Col- lewe eleven and a quarterback, and Wilson an erstwhile halfback on Central College, will be eligible next season. On the line thé outlook ‘ig not so alluring. Capt. Lansing, the center: Preston, the star guard; Muir and Groves, tackles, and lider at end, will depart. McAnaw, a guard: Ham- titon, tackle, and Giltner, an end, are the line veterans to return. Slusher and Bass, who subbed on the wings this season, are due to return, as are Shy, Wittenburg and Shannon, scrub tackles and guards. Then the freshmen team was unusually strong this past season, and it is thought that more than one yearling will force the regulars to the limit ba positions. WELSH 1S WILLING 10 MEET JONNY KILBANE But. Featherweight Champion Must Concede: Fifteen Pounds to Clinch Bout. me CLEVELAND, Dec. 7.:~Jimmy Dunn, manager of Johnny Kilbane, world's featherweight champion, back from New York, where he hyd a conference with Freddie Welsh, anpounces that the lightweight title hoider Las agreed to go through with a match with Kilbane in the next two months. In gaining Welsh’s acceptance to the contest. Dunn was force] to agree to the lightweight’s terms. He: will be allowe.! to weigh in at 1% pounds at 3 o'clock, which will give him a weight advantage of something like 15 pounds, when the two battlers enter the fing. With this settled, the managers of the two boxers will now get busy and — a promoter to stage “he contest. 0] financial terms have bene agreed eka One Man Willard Objects To. F are now beginning to insist that the champion, Jess Willard, laurels in a FINISH fight, with none other than our old friend, Carlo Morris, as his opponent. The proposed 10-round, no-decision tapping contest with Georges Carpen- tier is regarded as a joke by most of least as a championship test. There is no doubt that for the route’ contest Morris is infinitely best foe that could be found for Jess. Gigantic of bulk, practically as tall as Willard, the former engineer has all the terrible power and primi- tive endurance and gameness so es- sential in this kind of a struggle. Thought Flynn Was’ Hurt. Boake will forget the graphic story of how Morris, a gigantic “hope,” picked green down in Sa- pulpa, was led like a big cow into the ring where the tigerish Jim Flynn was unleashed and sent against him. Flynn fairly tore Carl to shreds, the Oklahoman’s bulk serving only .o afford Flynn a larger and easier mark to hit. Flynn pounded Morris’ face to a pulp. With head swollen half again its normal size, Carl stol- idiy came out of his corner and put up his hands as though he were doing calisthenics. His appearance was so pathetic that the referee stopped the light ard said to Carl’ “Morris, I’m afraid I'll have to stop the fight.” “What's the matter?’ Carl is re- ported to have said, “isn’t Flynn able to continue?” The referee hadn't the heart to sto) sO game a lad and let him go on for the 10 rounds. When Morris finished his head resembled a newly dressed roast of beef, but Carl wasn’t even worried. “derby the Nature Kidded Big Carlo. N ATURE and the fates have plaved strange pranks with Carlo. Na- ture molded him into a fighting “tank,’’ but handicapped him with a tender heart. Then, thinking better of it, she equipped him with uncon- querable grit and limitless persever- ance. Then the Great Potter animated this work and cast it down into this ncheme of things, where the big mam- moth of seemingly limitless physical power, endurance and stamina, pickel out a sitting down job as his life- work—jerking the throttle of a freight engine. Fate tied Morris to an engine cab until grossness overran the magnifi- cent frame and clogged its physical activity. And then Carlo, having unfitted himself for any physical test, upaet all the dope by deciding that he wanted to be the world’s champion fighter! . am . Morris Is Eliminated.

Morris’ indomitable yerseverancea has prevented him from Gelinas count- ed out of a boxing career. Despite ublic opinion he has struggled and ought his way back. It may be truly said, on the testimony of men who know, that Morris is a better fighter today than ever before in his life. Bill McCarney, who was here re- cently in the interest of a Kansas City boxing club, sald, regarding Carl's fight at ‘‘Kay See" with HRattling Levin- sky, that Morris really deserved the de- cision over Levinsky: that he has ey ge to block with his gloves, in- Stead of his face, and knows how to punch straight, all of which is hard to believe. So, here today is Morris, back from Hasbeendom, minus 1265 pounds of the weight the wore around the engine cab, knocking at the world’s championship gate.

The new venture comes as a result of the interest shown in the recent inter- city battle between teams from Detroit and Chicago. Welker Cochran and other stars were members of the outfits. When a meeting is held in a short time to perfect plans, it is expected that a 64-game schedule will be arranged. Kach team will play three matches at home and a like number abroad, battling each rival in a home and home series. Another question to be decided when the magnates meet will be to decide whether the players shall be drafted from the ranks of the professionals or amateurs, The circuit this season will be some- thing of a tryout, and if it succeeds, there is a chance that it will be in- creased in size with the opening of the next campaign. 4 ° *,?

DENVIR, DEM, | TEASER OF Tht } VOTEINQUIRY BODY Committee Has Nearly $4000 for the Election Investigation, Mostly From Democrats. CALLED PAWNS BY PRIEST Also Alludes to Inquisitors as Figures Through Which Ven- triloquist Beguiles Public. John B. Denvir, a Democrat, has been named as secretary and treasurer of the Citizens’ Nonpartisan Committee for the investigation and prosecution of election frauds. This was announced today by Paul Bakewell, chairman of the committee, who said also that near- ly $4000 has been collected, in contribu- tions of $100, for the committee's work, and that at least one-third of the contri- butions are from Democrats. Former Judge Henry 8. Priest, in a pecond letter to Bakewell, calls tae members of the committee ‘“‘pawns” and likens them to a ventriloquist’s dummy, He says the committee's object is a par- tisan one, and that its proposed expenc- itures, in some cases, are for matters which are not of public concern. He writes: “My dear Mr. Bakewell: My letter, which (with your reply) was given by you to the Globe-Democrat with my con- sent, was not intended for publication. It was merely a reply of an admonitory character to a ‘personal and confidential’ communication which you gent to me as chairman of a committee, professedly nonpartisan, ®ut in which I thought I discovered very evident earmarks of zealous partisanship. When I gave the reasons, through fear of being misun- derstood, for declining your bSolNcitation, ] felt that the matter was at an end. However, when told that you woul give my letter and your reply to the press upon condition of my consent, I gave it. Calla It Radical Partnership. “Inasmuch as our correspondence has become public, except the first ‘personal and confidential’ letter, I want to make reply to some things sald by you, dem- onstrating the radical partisanship of your position, if your letter authorita- tively expresses the sentiment of your committee, that I did not intend making otherwise. “All of the gentlemen whose names are affixed to your ‘personal and confi- dential’ letter are my personal friends, whom 1 esteem very highly, but are, as you say you are, totally inexperienced in the game of politics, and, *by a one- sided appeal, through honest and patri- otic motives, are easily made the star players of crafty, é@xperienced politi- clans like my friends Howe, Stifel, Koeln and other very astute political Republican managers. “If I should characterize your com- mittee at all, I should call it neither a nonpartisan nor a bipartisan committee, wat a committee organized with a pre- dominantly Republican membership ana being used to conceal Republican craft ‘and distort Democratic effort to obtain u clean election and discredit the Dem- ocratic party. Exeepts Four of Nineteen. “lL. With the exception of four of the 19 gentlemen. there is, I believe, not a single regular, thorough Democrat party man on your committee. “2. You say your committee was or- ganized to investigate, and employed counsel to investigate election frauds, yet when I called to your attention pub- lic reports of matters seriously affecting the integrity of the election, you de- mand specific accusation and proof. Mr. Breckinridge Long, than whom no man stands higher by lineage and desert in this community, before the election, pub- lished the fact that the Republicans in- tended to vote (because they were reg- istered) over 3000 negores, who were dis- qualified by reason of their criminal rec- ord, Your committee ignored this mat- ter and went boldly, and, I might say, blindly, at the prosecution of the men who attempted to challenge these ‘ille- gal voters and prevent them from cor- rupting the ballot. You ignored the ini- tial wrong in the registration of these illegal voters. “8. I make no objection to the em- ployment of Mr. Bates. He was en- gaged by you professionally to investi- gate and prosecute Democrats. It so happens, however, that Mr. Batés has, ZI am told, represented Mr. Koeln and has many other clients among the ac- tive Republican organization, and, I am told, his name was suggested to your committee by Mr. Howe. “Piaying the Polltical Game.” “Mark me, I do not intend any criti- ciam upon Mr. Howe, Mr. Stifel or any other Republican manager. They are Playing the political game, and they are using your committee as a pawn. J admire their astuteness in doing it, but 1 dGeprecate the action of men of the type of your committee tn lending them- _ Selves to a movement of this character B without | @ | knowing its origin and its alm, and dis- thoroughly investigating it, _ erediting everything said by the oppo- ition.

CENTERS IN RAIL STOCKS Reading, Rock Island and Other Issues Are Strong; Trading Is Fairly Broad. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view’ today, says: “Rates for brokers’ demand loans were considerably reduced today, fall- ing to about the ievel prevailing be- fore the recent sharp advances. De- spite the reduction, however, the money market situation was still up- permost in the mind of the financial community. That the stock market had so well withstood the unsettle- ment of the present week, was cause for gratification, but the outcome of the episode had presented little to warrant the belief that it might not occur again. “With the intorior banks drawing their funds frcm New York, the influ- ence on this market of both the en * ment of gold from abroad, and the Rastentiar balances in this center, of out-tof-town banks, was rather unpleasantly emphasized. Aside from the money situation, interest was di- rected chiefly toward London, where British consols ceclined to the lowest price of the war period—a movement which contrasted curiuosly with the advance when the uncertainty over the British Cabinet crisis was ost acute, but when there was possibility that Asquith would retain = place. : Money Market Easi¢e ‘The further import today ‘en $11,300, - 000 gola from Canada, making a total of more than $36,000,000 received this week, was necessarily an influence working for easier rates in the money market. That the market for demand loans should have gotten so thoroughly out of hand at a time when these great con- signments of gold were being received, Was an incident which does not even yet appear to have been thoroughly explained. It may also appear rather inconsistent to the observer that the re- ceipt of greta quantities of gold, which a brief while ago were being declaimed against us a menace, should now be awaited anxiously as factor of relief. As a matter of fact, the import of gold is at present just as much, and just as little..a financial problem for the coun- try arge as it was a month ago. Only as bears on the position of ready funds in New York for use on the Stock ener ge, has the situation been al- tered.

Claims of Chicago interests, however, that export buying so far this week had totaled 6,000,000 bu, were ridiculed by many ‘well- posted local] traders.

COCAINE PEDDLER SHOT IN A SALOON BY A DOG CATCHER Sight of Left Eye Destroyed; Injured Man Refuses to Name Assailant Who Surrenders. Henry Wilsman, 42 years old, of 1422 South Twelfth street, arrested many times as a peddler of cocaine, was shot at 10:30 o’clock last night in a saloon at 636 South Broadway by Fred Welker, a dog catcher, of 633 South Broadway. The bullet entered at the right side of his nose and lodged back of his left ear, destroying the sight of his left eye, but he will recover. The shooting grew out of an old grudge. Wilsman refused to tell who had shot him. Welker gave himself up to the police. He said Wilsman threw a beer bottle at him and was advancing with his hand on his hip pocket when Welker fired. Wilsman says Welker had called in a policeman to search Wilsman and that when he left Welker, who had not been searched, fired the ILLINOIS == CENTENNIAL = PLANS At the request of the Illinois State Centennial Committee preliminary plans for a pageant to be presented in September, 19i1*, in commemora- tion of the 100th anniversary of the State, are being discussed in Belle- ville.

So without asking any more questions she ran away to get the table and the dishes. When it was ready her mother brought in some iittle crackers and put them on ene of Priscilla's little dishes, and she put real tea in the teapot, and cake cut in tiny little squares was put on a little plate, and, best of all Priscilla thought, was a dish of little red and white can- dies. Priscilla drew up her little chair, eager to begin her tea, when her mother said: “Why, you are forgetting your guests, Priscilla; bring the chairs for Teddy and Betty and Tabby."’ P “How can Tabby sit at the table with us?” asked Priscilla when she brought the chairs. “I will show you,” said her mother. “You get Tabby.” Tabby was sleeping under a chair, but she was used to being awakened, and did not murmur at being pulled out from her sleeping place now. “Get a bonnet of Betty's,” said Pris- ellia’s mother. Then she took the scis- sore and cut from a piece of cloth a little bib and tiled it around Tabby's neck, Priscilla came running back. with the bonnet and watched with big eyes what her mother did. | The bonnet was tied on Tabby’s lit- tle head and then Priscilla’s mother said: “Miss Tabitha Gray, you are in- vited to a tea party, and I hope you will be a nice-mannered kitty, and show you have been well brought up.” Tabby winked and yawned in reply, end then Priscilla’s mother set Tabby in one of the little chairs. Tabby winked and blinked and then she closed her eyes and sat very still just as if she knew what was expect- ed of a well-behaved kitty. Priscilla laughed and clapped her hands when she looked at her and Teddy Bear and Betty all sitting around the little table. Priscilla’s mother sat down on the floor beside Priscilla’s chair ani helped eat and drink tea. All went well for a liftie while ane no one noticed that Tabby opened her eyes; but she did, and then some- thing happened. Tabby jumped, the table was upset and over on the floor went poor Betty and Teddy Bear, and Priscilla, too. Tabby was under the sofa and Pris- cilla and her mother thought Tabby was tired of playing tea party, but ‘n a minute she came running back, her bonnet awry and her bib on her back, but in her mouth she carried some- thing which she brought right to the little table which Priscilla had set again, and on it Tabby laid a mouse. This time Priscilla and her mother jumped and the table went over again, and the mouse ran, for bby had brought it alive to them; ‘but when she saw it running she chased !t, and this time she did not return with her part of the treat. Priscilla and her’ mother laughed when they got over thelr fright, and Priscilla said: “I guess Tabby did not like a tea party Ls with candy and cake, and so she tried | to get something kitties like.” “She tried to do her part in pro- viding refreshments,” said her moth- er, “and I am sure, Priscilla, you had more fun than you would have if your guests had been little girls.’ And Priscilla thought so, too.

As she chatted with a burglar who had been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, she thought she detected signs of reform in him. “And now,” she said, “have you any plans for the future on the expiration of ycur sentence?’ “Oh, yes, ma’am,”’ he said hopefully. “I’ve got the plans of two banks and a postoffice."’ A Fish Story. ee was a fish dinner, and Hen- rietta, aged 5, was doing consider- able grumbling about a couple of bones that, despite her mother’s caution, were in her portion. to Henrietta for some time without com- ment.
