PITTSBURG FACTORIES CONSIDER TAKING A WEEK’S HOLIDAY Let a fall of Would Give Employes Rest, Reads Catch Up on Freight, Overhaul Machinery. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 12.—Important manufacturing interests in the Pitts- burg district were today considering the advisability of shutting down their plants Dec. 23 and allowing them to re- main idle until Jan 2, for the two- fold purpose of giving their employes a rest and to enable the railroads to clear tracks east and west of the vast.quan- tities of freight. It was said that machinery also need- ed overhauling, it having been in al- most continuous operation for almost a year, a much longer time than usual. EDISON WAS NEVER TEMPTED Has No Time to Think of Doing Any-~ thing Against Law, He Says, NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The Rev. Fred Winslow Adams, pastor of St. Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, ead rend from his pulpit Sunday an- swers to the question: “What are the greatest safeguards against tempta- tion?” has received the reply ot Thomas A. Edison which was de- layed. Edison said: J cannot answer the question con- tained in your favor of the 5th inst., as I have never had any experience in such matters. I have never had time, not even five minutes, to be tempted. to do anything against the moral law, civil law, or any law whatever. If I were to hazard a guess as to what young people should do to avoid temptation it would be to get a job and work at it so hard that eae would not exist for em. $1 A 100 LBS, ASKED FOR COAL DOUGLAS, Ariz., Dec. 12.—Calis on every dealer in Douglas yesterday aft- ernoon for a ton of coal resulted in the information that but one had that much in stock and he refused to sell more than 200 pounds to a customer, and then at the rate of $1 a hundred. The thermometer stood at 13 degrees above zero yesterday morning. Douglas people have begun to eat in restaurants because they cannot obtain coal for stoves. Shortage of coal cars is said to be responsible. 100 PER CENT EXTRA DIVIDEND NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—An extra divi- dend of 100 per cent on the common stock was declared today by the E. W.

Judge Dyer, in the Federal Court, to- day denied the application of Thomas K. Skinker and L. Cass Miller for an in- junction to restrain the County Court of St. Louis County from issuing the good road bonds authorized at a special elec- tion last February. In his opinion dis- missing the suit, which he read in court, Judge Dyer held, as did the Missouri Su- preme Court, that the law ‘authorizing ihe bond issue was not in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. It had been contended by Skinker that the bond issue was invalid because it would deprive him of his property with- out due process of law, in violation of the fourteenth amendment. He based his claim on the fact that under the lav only county roads outside the corporate limits of towns may benefit from the proceeds of the bond issue, while all property in the county must be taxed to pay interest and provide a sinking fund. Quotes Missouri Supreme Court. Judge Dyer quoted from the opinion of the Missouri Supreme Court, handed down July 8 last, in which the validity of the bond issue was upheld. He said that he reached the same conclusions as the State Supreme Court. Skinker, after anrouncing to report- ers that he would appeal to the Unit- ed State Supreme Court, asked Judge Dyer to rule specifically as to the va- lidity of the $520,000 bonds—part of th authorized °$3,000,000—which the County} Court already has taken steps to issue, and the sale ofs#which has been held up by Skinker's litigation. Judge Dyer, however, refused to change his ruling. Proceeding With pore: 83 Attorney Ralph. at Clay - ton, announced that he would now ad- vise the County Court to formally ac- cept the joint bid of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and the William R. Compton Co. for the $620,000 of the bonds which were offered for sale last Sep- tember, and to proceed as soon as the weather is favorable with construction of roads. The Prosecuting Attorney said he be- lHeved these steps could be safely taken regardless of the probability of an ap- peal by Skinker to the United States Supreme Court. He understands the buyers of the bonds are willing to ac- cept them upon the Federal Court de cision as it now stands. The Prosecutor said he favored the expenditure of part of the funds upon roads within incorporated towns and would co-operate to obtain from the courts a decision as to whether this will be permissible. To that end, he said, he would recommend to the Coun- ty Court that work be started on a road passing through an incorporated town. MEATLESS.

SUPREME COURT Lithuanian Lecturer Sought to Sup- port on Stand His Attacks on the Scripture. WASHINGTON, Dec. --12.—Mike X. Mockus, a Lithuanian lecturer, convict- ed of blasphemy, has appealed to the United States Supreme Court. Mockus referred to the Creator in terms that, for the greater part, are unprintable. His mildest assertions were that God is a Mar, an “iron frog’’ and a man without goodness, and that this teaching of Jesus is good only for thieves and robbers.’ In defending on the stand his state- ment that God was a liar, he quoted: Genesis, chapter 2, verse 17: But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.“ That was God's injunction to Adam in the Garden of Eden,“ Mockus testified. “And we find in Genesis, chapter 6, verse 4 and 6: ‘And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth, were 300 years; and he beget sons and daughters; and all date e ee lived ‘were 930 years, and he died.“ — i POLICE SERGEANT MOVES INTO $5000 HOME WITH HERO REWARD Saved Five From Drowning and Re- cefves Carnegie Medal and $1000 to Rutid House. Police Sergeant Arthur Maguire, Ca- rondelt District, today moved into a $5000 residence at 3522 Giles avenue. Part of the first payment, which he made yester- day, was a check for $1000 which he re- ceived from the Carnegie Hero Fund. On March , 1913, McGuire, then a pa- trolman, went out in a rowboat, near Alabama avenue, when the River Des Peres Was on a rampage, and saved five persons from drowning. He was award- ed a Carnegie hero medal, and was told that he would get $1000, on condition that he buy a home. Before making the cash award, the Carnegie Hero Fund arranged for the Police Relief Association to waive its customary claim to 20 per cent of all rewards paid to policemen. McGuire's new home has six rooms and bath. He has a wife and three children, and is about 4 years old. PACKERS DISMISS APPEALS FROM MISSOURI TRUST FINES Armour, Swift and Hammond Com- panies Let $25,000 Penalties in State Stand. WASHINGTON, Dee. 12.—Supreme Court proceedings for the so-called Mis- souri Beef Trust case were ended today when the Court, upon request of Armour R Co., Swift R Co., the Hammond Packing Co. and others dismissed the packer's appeals from Missouri decrees assessing $25,000 fines for alleged viola- tion of the State anti-trust laws.

Some of them, however, are eager to press ene bill with its literary test clause to a final conclusion, despite the prospect of a veto. President Wilson already has vetoed ammigration legislation because it con- tained the literacy test. Presidents Cleveland and Taft also vetoed similar PESSIMISM IN LONDON OVER PEAGE OUTLOOK Doubt .

BRITISH VIEW UNCHANGED Terms Declared Still to Be Those Recently Enunciated by Asquith and Grey. 1 LONDON, Dec. 12.— The Foreign Office today informed the Associated’ Preas that it is unable to diseuss the German peace proposals until the terms shall have been received. Meanwhile the at- titude of the British Govérnment toward possible peace terms remains as fre- quently enunciated by the former Prem- ler and the Foreign Secretary. A general note of pessimism prevails in London. One promineast official ex- pressed himself to the Associated Press today as being very skeptical that the proposed terms would offer even a basis for negotiation. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Advices from Berlin to the German embassy in- dicate that Germany’s peace terms, in general measure, propose the restoration of the status quo before the war with the exception of the establishment of in- dependent kingdoms of Poland and Lith- uania. They are understood to propose the complete restoration of the occupiod portions of Belgium and France in re- turn for Germany's captured colonies and to dispose of the Balkan situation, because of its extremely complicated nature, in the peace conference. Dispatches to the German embassy, telling of the Chancellor’ saction in call- ing in the neutral diplomats. and trans- mitting the peace proposals of the cen- tral Powers, arrived soon after the — dispatches. The terms for the restoration of Bel- gium and portions of France give no in- dication, so far as is known, of stipula- tions such as generally have been ex- pected by the allies, although they do not absglutely dispose of their possibility, It is indicated that while the German allies may not entirely expect that the proposals will actually cause a peace conference, they are not’ without hope that they will, and they are hopeful that the offer will at least be the means of getting the belligerents together in some manner to diseuss the situation, and that this may lead to a basis for peace. Reasvns for Proposals. In German quarters the crisis in the British Cabinet, the coming of winter and the lull in the fighting are given as reasons for making the peace pro- posals at this time. It is declared that the successes of the Teutonic arms in Rumania should convince the allied Pow- ers that the offer is not made because of any military weakness. By making the offer now, it is said, the German Powers feel that all sides may be saved preparations for the spring campaign. Should the offer be declined, it is said here, it will be made again next fal! and, if necessary, the fall after that. Among the objects, it is explained by German diplomats, is to force a show- down” and establish whether the entente allies are willing to make peace, or whether it is their intention to crush Gerinany and dismember her. Germany. they say, is convinced of the ability and strength of her enemies to continue the war on its present or even Freate scale for 10 years, if necessary, and is no less confident of her own ability to do 80. It is regarded here as unlikely that any peace conference would be held in the United States. It would be more likely to go to Berne or The Hague. There have been Indications that unless it should be found absolutely necessary to keep Count von Bernstorff, the Ger- man Ambassador in this country, he might go fo the conference as one of his country’s representatives. Among the entente diplomats here, Germany's offer was pronounced to be; of double purpose and unlikely of ac, ceptance. The first purpose, they a6 clare, is to affect the world opinion of Powers the responsibility of continuing the war in the face of offers for peace. The second, they declare, is for the in- GERMAN CHANCELLOR, WHO TELLS REICHSTAG OF’ PEACE PROPOSALS . 1 ; 1 * DR. YON BETHMANN-HOLLWEG._ | WESTERN UNION BONUS FOR 700 IN ST.

IS CONVINCED Facts Sent to Berlin in Preparation for Next Step; Case of Arabia Pending, Awaiting Further Information. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Information assembled at the State Department and believed by some officials to present a clear-cut violation of German pledges in the sinking of the British steamer Marina, with the loss of six American lives, has been forwarded to Berlin for submission to the German Foreign Of- fice. It was announced at the department that the evidence had been sent as a matter of courtesy, to allow the imperial Government to offer any other facts it may have, before the United States takes its next step. Officials indicated also that any move by this Government might be delayed until complete infor- mation concerning the British liner Ara- bia, for which Great Britain has been asked, could be sent to Berlin. What the Germans Admit. In response to inquiries, Germany has admitted the torpedoing without warn- ing of both the Marina and Arabia, stating that her submarine command- ers took them for transports and asking the United States to furnish any evi- dence it might have to the contrary. In the case of the Arabia, Great Britain has been requested to furnish official au means, let our American friends and |, mats here have no idea what the peace data to establish whether the Heninsu- lar and Oriental liner was in Govern- ment service, although all information now at hand indicates that when sent down Mediterranean en a regular voyage, with passengers and freight. she was passing through the case as complete. According to the evi- and other freight, she was torpedoed and sunk without warning 100 miles from shore in u high sea, with no pro- -yision for the safety of those on board. Many horse tenders, including six Amer- loans, were lost. Investigation has de- veloped, it is said, that the ship had not been under charter or requisition by the British Government at any time during the war, but had transported horses at so much per head for the allies. It is generally believed that when President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are ready to act, the next step will take the form of a communication to clear up any doubt that may exist at Berlin as to the interpretation given German pledges given after the attack on the Sussex. Danger in Periscope Ohservation. As in the Sussex catastrophe, officials here pointed out the Marina and Arabia cases have demonstrated the menace to innocent neutral lives in the practice frequently followed by German subma- rine commanders of attempting to as- certain the character of a ship by peri- scope observations. The United States has demanded that the character of a vessel be determined beyond doubt before an attack is made that endangers the lives of its citizens, and contends that this can be done practically only by actual visit and As to the Marina, officials regard the search. a PESSIMISM IN LONDON OVER PEACE OUTLOOK Continued From Page One. companied by terms which would give | Germany control of Antwerp and what the entente allies declare would be a practical military. control of the coun- try. They expect also that in restoring the. occupied “portions of France, Ger- many would seek to retain economic control of the rich iron country and stipulate that no restrictions be placed on free exportation of the raw materials she needs so much. As regards Poland, the entente repre- sentatives expect that all of the terri- tory conquered from Russia would he included in the independent kingdom, but that none of Poland held by Ger- many before the war would be so in- ‘ cluded. Mesopotamia, these diplomats expect, will be claimed for Germany and Aus- tria, to give them an unbroken line to the Persian Gulf. Such an arrangement, they say, would threaten Great Britain’s control of Egypt and the Indian empire. In Servia, all of the country as far south as Nish would, according to this plan, be awarded to Bulgaria. It would take from Servia as much territory as she gained in the Balkan wars. As regards Turkey, the allied diplo- plan might propose, but they are of the opinion that Turkey’s interests will be secondary considerations. In the redistribution of colonies, it is expected that Germany will ask to have her conquered outposts restored to her, or might propose to exchange them for some of the French colonies. The attitude of the allies as to peace has not been officially indicated to the United States and press dispatches, as to their present hostility to it, are the only source of information the United States has had. Supposedly Hostile to Peace. The attitude of the allies has been un- derstood to be so flatly hostile to peace that recently: official denial was made that the United States had made any of- fer or contemplated any. The recent changes in ministry in France and England are interpreted here to mean, not that they have given the power to make peace to any one man, but that they constitute the man- date of the full force of public opinion in both countries to oatry the war to a conclusion. The desires of the Balkan nations al- lied with Germany are understood to be fully set forth in the notes prepared by the Sofia and Constantinople Govern- ments. Nothing definite is known here regarding the Turkish plans, but it is re- garded as certain that Bulgaria will set forth that the territory she has lost shall be returned to her. In German quarters it was said that the central Powers had brought out their peace proposals now partly because they were convinced there was no hope of President Wilson making proposals at this time. Several times within the last few weeks these diplomats had thought the President was about to make sug- gestions to the belligerents. Teutonic diplomats were especially in- terested in the attitude of France. They Britain will have to a similar course. United States, it is believed by to say, at least until the attitude of the entente allies should become known. In connection with the news from Berlin the recent crisis in Rus- sia, in which the Duma interfered to prevent the negotiations of,» separate peace with Germany, was recalled as ca indication of what the German for- eign office might be looKing forward to in peace negotiations. Separate Peace Is Possible Aim. It has been generally acknowledged in Entente circles*that efforts would be made by Germany to conclude peace separately with her enemies, but so far all the entente nations have reit- erated their intention to adhere to their agreement, made early in the war, not to negotiate a separate peace. The re- cent death of the Austrian Emperor, Francis Joseph, and the succession of King Charles to the throne of the dual monarchy also was discussed as one of the considerations which might have been a factor in bringing out peace pro- posals at this time. The United States represents Austria and Germany in Belgium, ie, Greai Britain, Japan, Russia, Servia and Ru- mania; represents Turkey in France, Great Briatin and Japan; has taken over Bulgarian interests nowhere and does not represent any of the belligerent Governments in Italy, Portugal or Mon- tenegro. The German peace proposals will bé transmitted to all of those countries in which the United States represents any of the central Powers through American diplomatic channels. Kaiser Said to Have Told Generals to Fight On Until Offer Is Answered. LONDON, Dec. 12.—A Central News dispatch from Amsterdam says it is an- nounced officially in Berlin that Em- peror William has notified his com- manding Generals of Germany’s peace offer and has informed them it is still uncertain whether the offer will be ac- cepted. Until that uncertainty is end- ed, the message says, they are to fight on.

PROPOSALS AT = ETING THURSDAY Aldermanic Committee Consider- ing Plan to Have the Muni- cipality Share in Management. The city, at a meeting to be held in the Mayor’s Office Thursday afternoon between representatives and those of the United Railways Co., is expected to sub- mit counter proposals in reply to the re- cent proposals made by the company for the extension of its franchises and the adjustment of future mill tax obli- gations. Alderman Gregory, 8 of the Public Utilities Committee of the Board of Aldermen, said today that the com- mittee would, by that time, have at least part of a definite program ready to suggest in behalf of the city. Essen- tial parts of this plan, he said, will he that the city be admitted to a share in the direct management of the company; that the water! be squeezed out of its stock; and that after a fair valuation of its property, its earnings shall be limited to a fair return on that valua- tion, the surplus to go to extensions and improvements. A fund for the building of a subway may be proposed, to be based on the surplus earnings. This is a point which has not been determined by the com- mittee. He also said the committee had not decided for how long a term it would be willing to extend the company’s fran- chises. The company is asking for a blanket extension until 1948. May Want Board Representation, Gregory was one of those who sug- gested, in an interview printed in the Post-Dispatch several weeks ago, that the city should name a certain number of the company’s board of directors, possibly five out of 12. This point, he said, had not been decided on by the committee. In that interview, the need for reduc- tion of the company’s capitalization was also mentioned, and President Mc- Culloch said, in reply, that he would be glad to see it reduced, but that it should not go below $60,000,000, the amount of the bond issues. Before the meeting in the Mayor's office, Gregory said, the members of the Utifiities Committee will meet for final discussion on a series of memoranda submitted to all the members. They will try to agree to a definite proposal, which, if the other members of the con- ference committee approve, will be put forward as the city’s proposal. The United Railways Co. will be rep- resented in the conference by McCul-! @ loch, Murray Carleton and A. L. Shap- leigh. The city will be represented by the Utilities Committee and by the Mayor, President Aloe of the Board, Director Hooke of the Department of Public Utilities and City Counselor Daues.

In a letter the Governor-elect says: „it is claimed in many states that a nonpartisan board of control having su- pervision over all the eleemosynary in- stitutions (other than penal institutions) has been very beneficial. ‘This . board has vested in it authority: 1. To buy through its purchasing agent supplies in large quantities for all institutions controlled by them, thereby resulting in great saving. ‘?

Credit for Enemies. The Field Marshal spoke in ad- miration of what the English had done in a comparatively short time with an improvised organization. He showed himself ready to give all due credit, and freely accorded commen- dation to everything his foes had done or accomplished. As I rose to go it was 10 o’clock. Hindenburg and Ludendorff said they had two hours before they would retire, and that they had to be up again at 6. Lasked Hindenburg if he would not visit America after the war. “I am afraid not. I am old, now; and then, too, you gre not very friendly toward us, and probably will not want to hear anything of us,“ remarked the Field Marshal. J delieve you not only would ‘be most gladly received, but would be accorded a royal reception,“ I as- sured him, but Hindenburg shook ‘his head as if he doubted it. “I would very much like to see your Grand Canyon and the Yel- lowstone, the Yosemite Park and California,“ he said. “If I had to see but one, and my choice lay between New York and San Francisco, I would rather see San Francisco.

The State statutes provide that an Election Commissioner is ineligible for any other office, elective or appointive, during the enttre period for which he was appointed, whether he resigns cr not. The law once kept Andrew C. Ma. roney from becoming a Circuit Judge, by appointment of Gov. Folk. Koeln commented jocosely on the fact that, as he said, out of 60,000 St. Louis Democrats, Gov. Major had picked for the collectorship one of the two men who was legally ineligible for any ap- pointment. The term between the present and March 1 is the only time for which an appointment would hold, in any case. Under any construction of the law, Koeln would be Collector after March 1, by virtue of his election last month. Koeln said the Governor, in order to give some Democrat a job for two months and a half, was taking a course which might upset the finan- cial machinery of the city at the time which is the busiest of the year in the Collector’s office.

They are no longer wars between bands of hired merce- “I merely wish to emphasize that as long as human nature is what it ig and as long as there are evil elements in society, there may be unscrupulous persons who can and will influence nations to infringe upon the rights to existence and the honor of other nations and peoples. There will be a limit beyond which no league of peace can go. Every manly nation must be prepared to defend its existence, serve its owner and protect its rights. And that is what Germany did and is doing to- day. Therefore the wonderful unity and solidarity of the German people —one spirit and one soul.“ I touched the Field Marshal's sup- port of Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg's attitude toward America in the submarine question. Jam a soldier and keep away from politics,“ was his short answer. There was a touch of brusqueness in his tone and manner, as, with a move- ment of his hand, he waved away any further questions in that direc- tion. work of the German women in this war, who were filling the men’s places, and who, perhaps, sometimes had more cares and hardships than the men at the front. He talked of the great home army.“ which had rendered and was rendering such magnificent service to the Fatherland, and which had made possible Germany's “glorious de- tense and successes on the battle- fields. “The services rendered at home have been extraordinary, but to a large extent lacked organization, and that is the purpose of the new civil auxiliary sorvice law,“ remarked the Field Marshal. Discusses Germany’s Allfes. Von Hindenburg talked interestedly about Germany’s allies. „It is wrong to say that the Turks are good fighters only on the de- fensive,”” he said. “They fought splendidly in the Dobrudja and 16 corps of them did splendid work in the Carpathians. Repeatedly they have left their trenches and chased the Russians with their bayonets when the Russians came too near.” The Bulgarians he characterized as a natural people, physically strong, splendid soldiers, very steady and dependable. He referred to the dif- ference in political foresight and judgment shown by Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria and King Ferdinand of Rumania, and had many good words to say for the soldierly ‘qualities, aptness and great promise already shown by young Crown Rrince Boris, who seems to have made an excellent impression on the -.eld Marshal. Of Austria-Hungary Hindenburg declared that the German army lead- ers knew far better what service those allies had rendered Germany that did the world at large, and he | was of the opinion that the services were not sufficiently appreciated abroad. ; Hindenburg spoke feelingly of the error.“ I asked the Field Marshal what lessons could be drawn from this war with regard to the difference between well-drilled, trained soldiers and green troops, and whether it had been shown that future armies could be more or less on a militia basis. Germany's army never can be a militia army, but must be an army of well-drilled, highly trained sol- diers, declared Hindenburg. The importance of that training, and es- pecially of large troops of highly trained officers, certainly has been made manifest by this war. Where would Germany be today without them? Troops with little practice, how- ever good they may be individually, are at best but a makeshift for an army leader, who can feel the dif- ference immediately. He knows what his regularly drilled troops will do, but he is never certain what super- ficially trained troops can do.“ I referred to the Swiss army. “The Swiss army is undoubtedly excellent for the purposes for which it is trained and required,” said Hin- denburg. “Every Swiss soldier is a good sharpshooter, high respect for them, but other na- tiong cannot pattern, any more thax Switzerland can follow theirs. guaranteed, and its army arranged wholly for defense. Its borders and mountains ard general topography render that deferse very favorable. The same cannot be said of Ger- many.“ We talked of the. Russians. I re- called co the Fleld Marshal his words to me in Posen in December, 1914: “T know my Russians; they will come ag?in and again.“ “Perhaps they will come once more remarked Hindenburg with „ A smile.

Lawyers Doubt Granting of Her Demands Would Leave Much for Other Creditors. , Supplementary exceptions to nearly 200 items and vouchers introduced by Mrs. Grace A. Leathe, executrix of the estate of Samuel H. Leathe, real estate owner, to back up her claims for money ad- wanced and commissions she declares are due her in the administration of her «husband's estate, were filed in the Pro- bate Court today by lawyers protesting - her claims upon what is left of the once $4,000,000 estate. A hearing of the case was set by Judge Holtcamp for Jan. 16. At a hearing of the case, which com- meneed last week, adjournment was taken to allow attorneys time to exam- me Mrs. Leathe’s checks and vouchers, several thousand in number. The claims of creditors against the estate total a of which $919,819.40 is the claim of Mrs. Leathe. Other creditors, oppos- ing Mrs. Leathe’s claims, allege her + are not well founded and it is she has received between | $900,000 as proceeds of the this took no account of a suit by Mrs. Elizabeth Knisely, a widow, who got eas ty tee which } finally affirmed by the supreme court of the State. The decisién opened up the case for the presentment of telaims, the largest of which is Mrs. Leathe’s, and parts of which claims now presented antedate it. te The Knisely judgment grew out of a deal Leathe entered into with Charles Knisely, who contracted with Leathe to dispose of a mining property near Mine La Motte, Mo., which Leathe owned. . : Administration Claims. The claim of Mrs. Knisely has been denominated by the Probate Court as a claim of the fifth class, while Mrs. Leathe’s claims are asserted to be ad- ministration claims, which, if allowed by the Court, would take precedence over the Knisely judgment. If the Leathe claims are allowed, it is doubtful, ac- cording to attorneys, if there will be anything left to satisfy the judgment of other claimants. A large item to which exception is made by the Title Guaranty Trust Co., through its attorney, W. T. Nardin, is $66,815.81 paid to W. I. Edwards. Ed- wards was formerly manager of the Leathe estate, and the sum given him was for salary and commission from the year 1909 to 1914. Ddwards, who eventual- ly fell out with Mrs. Leathe, replevined letters in his desk after they severed business relations. It is claimed that the money paid Edwards was for service on realty under Mrs. Leathe's control as distributee and does not represent an obligation of the estate of Leathe. | Several Thousand Checks, Several thousand checks, some of ‘them with vouchers which the checks satisfied, have been offered in evi- dence by Mrs. Leathe, and all of them have been excepted to because they are said to represent her per- sonal living expenses from 1909 to 1916. The checks total $31,809.87 and contain many bills from the Planters and Southern hotels, where Mrs. Leathe lived. It is claimed these ex- penses are not a proper charge against the estate. Many of these bills show that Mrs. Leathe entertained friends at the hotels; that she charged their room and board to the estate and that she paid money to companions both while in St. Louis and while traveling away from the city. Bills show that Mrs. Leathe was quite a lavish entertainer. In many of the bills are items for cafe service to her rooms, and on occasion she ordered cigars which, from the charge, indicated they were bought for friends by the box. A check on the Bank of Commerce for $22, dated Jan. 2, 1911, was made payable to Charles P. Stanley. Across the face of the check was written: “Cigars, out-of-town business men, estate ex- pense.“ Check to Hat Firm. Another check, made payable to the Guerdan Hat Co., for $16, bore the notation: “To men getting purchaser to Jefferson avenue.” A voucker of the Pennsylvania Lines showed Mrs. Leathe, on Jan. 2, 1911, bought round- trip tickets to New York for W. I. Edwards, Judge Reynolds. a Mr. Greiner and Miss Reynolds. The cost, represented in a check, wat $158.60. Item 51, the exceptions declare, wrongfully charges the estate with $100,000 on account of payment of a deed of trust on property at Twenty- third and Locust streets. It is ‘claimed the deed is not the obliga- tion of the Leathe estate but the per- sonal obligation of Grace A. Leathe, and that she did not personally or as executrix pay off the deed, but sold it subject to the deed. Objection is made to Mrs. Leathe’s claim for commissions on disbursements, which at 5 per cent on $817,385.28 amount to $40,369.26. It is claimed this charge by the executrix was not a proper one, that the amount upon which the com- mission was charged includes duplicate charges made wrongfully against the estate by Mrs. Leathe, and embodies in- terest charges on money allowed to have been advanced by Mrs. Leathe which were not in fact advanced by her, it is claimed. Exception is taken also to an interest chargé item of $72,152.15, charged on a balance of $177,350.64, which Mrs. Leathe claims was due her at the time of the settlement of the estate and which she said répresented funds advanced by her in settlement. It is claimed this sum was not in fact due her; that it did not represent funds advanced by her to the estate either personally or as executrix, but at the time she had secured the funds from the sale of property of the estate and by loans made to her on the security of property of the estate. Repairs to Property. Among Mrs, Leathe’s claims is one for $11,843.03 paid for repairs to property in the years, 1907, 1908 and 1909. nese are objected to as personal obligations of Mrs. Leathe on property under her con- L.

Uy a Staff ‘Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 12.—State of- ficlals, prompted by the discovery that Missouri will not participate next year in the $75,000,000 Federal good roads fund | iis because the State Highway Commission- er law, passed by the first Legislature of the Major administration, makes that | (73) official merely a jobholder instead of an officer with authority, today began dis- cussing amendments which would permit yarticipation by Missouri in the portion vf the Federal fund unexpended after rext year. Gov. Major had expected that Missouri ‘would get a part of the Federal appro- ; priation, and expressed astonishment yesterday when he received a letter from Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture, announcing that because the Highway Commissioner of Missouri had no authority to designate the roads to be improved or to supervise their con- \\ struction, none of the fund could be ex- pended in the State. Authority With County Courts. Secretary Houston said that it was es- sential for the department to deal with | Sm a Highway Commissioner who had au- thority to build roads. In Missouri each of the 114 county courts has sole author- ity over road construction in its county. During the Major administration there has been an official proclamation each year setting aside two or three days as {7 “good roads days,“ on which all citi- zens were supposed to work an the roads. The Governor set the example by donning a combination of his hunting and golf costumes. He usually has been photographed on the first “good roads’ day at the wheel of a piece of road- building machinery. The Jefferson City Country Club has been a favorite place for refreshment after this arduous work of the capitol road-building contingent. In 1913 the law creating the highway engineer, who never has been clothed with authority to build roads, was amended but not improved. His duties consist of collecting road data, devising 4 plans for road construction and consult- ing with county courts regarding road building. Will Amend the Law. Officials today said than an amend- ment to the present law would be pre- pared and intreduced in the Legislature, which meets in January, to give the Highway Commissioner power to deter- mine roads which shall be constructed with State funds, augmented dy Federal. funds. Under the Federal law the Government F will pay half the cost of road construc- | Ie tion which is approved by the Depart- ment of Agriculture. The $75,000,000 ap- propriated is to be expended during five | hy years, and is to be distributed to all the states on this basis: One-third in the ratio which the area of each state bears | Kop tu the total area of all the states; one- third in the ratio which the population | My of each state bears to the population of all the states, and one-third in the ratio which the mileage of rural delivery routes bear to the total mileage of such]! reutes in all the states.

Sir! They crassly parody their own pet arguments, as though they were tangrams. I will not coasservate reproaches—I would ob- aue a veil over the monumental ingratitude which Das champered their undiscerptible hearts.

FRINK. — LL EEE ee RESERVE SYSTEM’S FIRST TEST. The Federal reserve system has been in exist- ence for two years, but it was not until last week that any New York bank availed itself of the function that was uppermost in mind when the system was created. That function, of course, is the rediscounting of commercial paper. Just why a sudden shortage in money should have developed in New York is not easy to ex- plain. The total imports in gold since Jan. 1 last are now estimated at $560,000,000. Only a few days ago $11,500,000 came unexpectedly from Canada. a Perhaps one reason was that the money sup- ply of the country under reformed banking does not flow as readily to that center as in the old days of the unregulated Money Trust. The im- mediate occasion was an enormous volume of speculation in securities and foodstuffs, though it might be supposed that New York’s legitimate share of the tremendous stock of gold accumu- lated since the opening of the war would be suffi- cient to sustain an even greater volume. However, the danger signals went up. Reserves showed a depletion. Call money advanced to 17 per cent. It was then that four national banks took some of their liquid assets to the local branch of the reserve system, rediscounted them at 3 per cent when cash was commanding five times that per- centage under some circumstances elsewhere and got the money back on these loans in Federal reserve notes. The moment the country has been awaiting for many months came and passed with an impres- sive demonstration of the new system’s value. The original transactions involved only about $7,000,000 and, under the law, the money made available could not be used in market specula- tions. But it placed that amount at the disposal of legitimate business, ended the flurry, sent call money back to 4 per cent and removed conditions which, while not serious in themselves, might have resulted in widespread loss of confidence and a temporary check to prosperity. Almost from the first, interior banks have made use on a small soale of the new rediscounting fa- cillities. New York banks have held aloof, in part because of the plethora of money and in part because of a feeling that it was a sign of weak- ness for a bank to rediscount its paper. Un- doubtedly that feeling will not reappear. 8 We have a method of bringing down the high price of money. Unfortunately, we have no de- pendable means of bringing down the high price of other things. = = * A great mariner, a great man, a great German —KOENITG. TOO MANY RAILROAD DOOTORS, Arguing before the Newlands committee at Washington the other day, Max Thelen of Cali- fornia, president of the Nationa! Association of Ralfiroad Commissioners, opposed the plan of Al- tre P. Thom of the carriers, which would pro- vide Government control of railroad financing. He denied the aseertion of railroad men that con- fusing state regulation has impaired the credit of the big lines. | Jam satisfied,” said Mr. Thelen, that the real causes of impaired railroad credit are to be found in unwise railroad construction, in unwise rail- road administration, in excessive issue of securi- ties, and in unsound financial structures. The roads are suffering from acute gastritis due to an overdose of securities which they have not been able to digest.” Mr. Thelen is happier in his diagnosis than in the remedy he suggests. The trouble is that too many physicians have been tinkering with the pa- tient already. What Dr. Missouri and Dr. Illinois have been prescribing is not always the same thing Dr. New York and all the other doctors recommended. The time has come to call in a specialist and put him in charge. Whether by Mr. Thom’s plan or by some other, national and uniform control of railroad finances is the only reliable cure. Already bankruptcy proceedings and receiverships have squeezed out considerable water; whether or not Government regulation would eliminate any more, it certainly would prevent the addition of new water. Gov- arnment ownership and Government regulation are not necessarily the same thing, but if Govern- ment ownership shall come of it, it will be because the paramount interest of the people demands it, and because experience has shown it the only ade- quate solution. = = — a. The Federal Council of Churches has discov- ered that married men spend more time in sa- loons than single men.

The movies are after them. It is ony a question of time until all the popular periodicals will be sent to the scrap heap and the millions of America will get from the movies the frothy pabulum now purveyed by the magazines. Frederick L. Collins says so. Collins should know. He publishes magazines and makes movies. Right now the movies are taking more of his time and making more money for him than the mag- azines. And it is going to get better for the movies and worse for the magazines. By and by it will be all movies and no magazines. No popu- lar magazines at least. The sort with the pretty girl covers. The kind that are published for en- tertainment only. There will still be magazines for the intellectuals, who do not require enter- talnment. The reason is that the movies have the reach. reach more human beings m a minute than the n im a month. It’s the reach red, red apples. The movies have they are getting the apples. And ) It will never take root in America. oe ie ; * | movies reach them with what they want. The oncs-a-month magazines are everlastingly too slow. It is only the daily newspapers that can set the pace for the movies. 2 hi he i is It seems to be Ruemania. = = * „ HOPEFUL SIGNS OF U. R. WISDOM. News of the conference between the directors of the North American Co. and independent share- holders of the United Railways indicate the be- ginning of wisdom on the part of the corpora- tion. There are strong hints that the company will adopt suggestions of economies in management, the readjustment of power contracts, the cessa- tion of hostilities in relations with the city and an arrangement by which the city and the com- pany will co-operate and share in the company’s earnings. : These things, especially the readjustment of cap- ital to value or the limitation of earnings applied to interest and dividends, are fundamental and vital to any settlement with the city involving an extension of franchise. Economies must neces- sarily be a part of the settlement which pro- vides for sharing the earnings or a surplus for im- provements. The corporation has fought on the bandit pro- gram for franchise loot long enough. It has lost the battle and finds itself without credit or as- sured resources. It must now recognize its hope- less position and seek a mode of living on a basis of equity. The restoration of credit, the substitution of sound security values for water speculation which can never be realized and the assurance of ade- quate extension and improvement for the future offer the only satisfactory ground of settlement for either the city or the company. These. are ends for which the Post-Dispatch has been work- ing for years. When the company submits a plan embodying these conditions a definite basis for discussion and final agreement will be supplied. = = i i OUR EXISTING EMBARGOES. The clamor for an embargo on American exports extends to almost every section of the country aside from the exclusively agricultural sections. The American consumer has a claim on Amer- ican products that should be recognized before that of the foreign consumer, it is urged. Restric- tion in the demand by cutting off exports would make the current supply available at lower prices in this country, so it is argued. 7 But the Pennsylvania Railroad has decreed an 7 N sh N SE: ae * „ 2 e = . 8 — —rX 7 ⁰ -ůu!

It will ac- cept nothing for shipment to points east of the Ohio-Pennsylvania State boundary. The Brie road will carry nothing east of the longitude of Buffalo, N. T. A partial embargo on shipments to Atlantic ports has long been in effect on most of the great trunk lines. Isn’t the empiric embargo remedy being given a pretty thorough test?

How- ever, the 1915 session of the Missouri Legislature saw the revival of efforts which must have im- posed large cost. The hotels and Statehouse cor- ridors swarmed with paid railroad representatives. The personal pressure on legislators, the back-fire, the petition of shippers procured by industrious station agents were all utilized as feverishly as in the old days before the first glimmerings of com- mon sense invaded railroad circles. And with what result? Can any one say that the roads would not have been better off, had they avoided the mobilization of their influence and piling up of expense accounts? The chief factor in the defeat of the plan to give the réads more revenue was the lobby which aroused pop- ular distrust and made it impossible for consci- entious legislators to vote for the plan. The railroads are to be congratulated in their decision to place no lobby in Jefferson City this winter. It ought to be a permanent decision ex- tending through all future legislative sessions. = = . -— = Smashing all small states is a Huropean idea. = = * i i ‘‘SAPETY FIRST’’ FOR OTHERS. Another trolley car has tried to jump off the Eads Bridge and has almost succeeded. Every now and then an East St. Louis or an interurban car leaves the track on the roadway, hops the guard rail and brings up against the fragile iron fence that is supposed to keep traffic from going over the edge. That no car has yet gone over is not due to the sufficiency of the fence but the insufficiency of the momentum. The cars which have left the track were not going fast enough to go right on through the fence. Cars are often run across the bridge at high speed. If one were to leave the track when running fast and strike the fence it wouldn't stop. It wouldn't even hestitate. N costs twice as much to ride across the bridge es to ride from one end of St. Louis to the other and yet there is nothing adequate to protect trolley passengers from being pitched into the river. When the bridge is crossed the peril is not past. Electric limiteds are run at a mile a minute, at the hazard of the passenger’s life and limb and in cheerful violation of the “safety first” slogans plastered on the front windows of the cars. Bridge and trolley companies are doing a great deal to teach Hast Siders that the only chance they have to get their of “safety first” is to join the West Siders. | a * — — . —— — — — — SV Y Y — — — — —— ̃ ———— ö ö U. . — —— 2 CI Aare a |S & wan PAd a - = SS SE MR. ANTWINE ON THE SITUATION IN EUROPE. proved by proposals of peace at a time when nobody is willing to admit defeat, Mr. An- twine said. ‘‘The only basis upon which all the countries engaged would be willing to talk peace would be that of what they either had before the war started or have acquired by conquest, and that is not obviously a very good prospect, „Anything the Germans can have to say at this time cannot, so far as I can make out, be very per- tinent, any more than anything the allies might have had to say after the repulse at Verdun ‘would have been. The Germans were not willing to admit them- selves beaten then, and the allies are not willing to admit themselves beaten now. I have seen a good many feuds out here in the hills, and they have taught me something of human nature. It is not human nature to want to quit while you still have a chance to win. Tho only country which has been in a position to propose peace with any piquance since the war started is Turkey. The Turks have won the only perman- ent victory of the war thus far—that at the Dar- danelles. Had they proposed after that victory to make peace with the countries which thought they could beat them, the proposal would have been made upon solid ground and with some consideration for how everyone felt. Outside of that one instance, anything that could have been said about peace was futile. „The Germans have a partial opportunity. Being on top for the moment, they ought to be able to pro- i | OAN’T see that the situation in Burope is im- pose something that might at least look good to the neutral world, even if the allies are not in a peace- talking mood. The Germans want their colonies back, and it is not past beleiving that they may get them. Their terms will have to be generous—that is all.’’ A Greek restaurateur in East St. Louis thought he would popularize his place by advertising liver and onions, but when he got his sign up he didn’t seem to get the expected response.

The sun, that great orb, was an artist of mine, For in fancy it dazzled my eye— i It painted the dew drop, the frost on the pane, And the rainbow that hung in the sky. 'Twas here that the rain drops in clusters did fall, As they whispered to me in my dreams; They pattered the roof and dropped off in the * As they hurried away to the streams. Tas here in my slumbers I dreamed of a world That was rich with its honors and fame; But little I knew of the, millions of men Who must struggle and die in the game. Those days have gone by and my youth slipped away ; No more shall my heart leap with joy. My kingdom I'd give, tf a monarch were I, For to be just a plain little boy. Oh, give me my youth, and let manhood be dead! For ite pleasures are all filled with pain. Oh give me the cot in my own little room, And bring back my boyhood again! ‘ J. KERSHAW. St. Louis.

The fountain spraying mists of rainbow hue and about in the trees white statues gleaming in the light. On the ground the petals of the blos- gsoms make a pink snow soon crushed by elfin feet. Around a cradle of spun gold hovered dozens of elves, for they had gathered to celebrate the birthday of the Queen's youngest child. On a leaf above an ugly grub worm listened to the merriment; then glancing down humbly at his own hairy body and his} awkward horns, he shrank back out of sight. “How beautiful they are and how hideous I am!“ he sighed to ‘himself. Ball. Just then a messenger came hurrying to the Queen with painful news—she had neglected to invite to the feast the very oldest of the elves, the very an- cient one who lived in an elm tree and spent her life dozing in the sun. “Oh!” cried the Queen, “I am sure I sent her an invitation, but it must have gotten lost on the way. Now, I have gotten her ill-will and she may do us harm. Bright Eyes, you stay here and watch, while the rest of us go to the table. If you catch sight of the old elf, call us quickly. In a few moments the fun was in full swing and the whole ground covered with the dancing figures of the happy elves. Bright Eyes was 80 absorbed in gazing down at the scene below that he lost his balance and fell softly on the sod: then finding himself among the dancers, he thought it would be nice to have a spin. So away he went with another elf. But hardly had he fallen when over the bush swept the bent form of the old elf. She peered about till her wick- ed eyes lighted on the sleeping baby in the golden cradle. About her head was wrapped a gorgeous mantle of purple and gold, so anyone looking up would think it one of the good little elves still watching. She crept up to the baby and bent over it, the green eyes shining with revenge. Below the Queen was dancing, igno- rant of the danger near. The music rose and swelled over the flitting fig- ures that seemed to be twinkling bits of color on the soft sod. But above, all unknown to the company, bent the wicked old elf over the crib of the sleeping child. Then she took it up in her arms and was about to fly away into the darkness. The worm, though ugly and brown and hairy, had a noble heart. He loved the gentle Queen and could not bear to see the baby stolen from its mother. But what was he to do? So as the old elf flitted by his side of the rosebush he reached out his tiny legs and caught on to her foot. The child was a light weight, but when A ee: SE eee THE MOST ACCEPTABLE GIFT Dee SHOULD PROVE USEFUL E PLEASING We illustrate a few items from our vast stock of Sporting Goods that AS prove acceptable to young and old.
