For example—yesterday, Tuesday, the St Louis mer- i Senator Mitchell, of Verona, today reiterated his intention of insisting that the caucus vote to include in the rules, one permitting a bill to be taken up for consideration out of its’ regular order on a majority vote of the Senate. Inthe past, the rules have provided that a bill could be taken up out of its regular order only upon unanimous consent, and the rules have provided that this rule could not be changed except upon a two-thirds vote of the Senate. Senator Mitchel] said he would insist upon caucus action upon the balance of his program, which includes provisions that committees should report bills promptly, that the clerical force should be only large enough to transact the business of the Senate, and the custom of adjourning from Friday noon until late Monday afternoon, should be abol- ished. Both Sides Confident. The fight between Senator John F. Morton of Richmond and Senator 5S. McClintic of Monroe City for President pro tem continues as active today as yesterday, with each side insisting thut it has enough votes to win. To the ob- server of affairs it seems that McClintic will win, but the professional politicians contend that the contest will not be decided until the votes are counted in the caucus, and that Morton will be found the winner. Morton’s friends a»- pear confident and his opponents are not discounting the shrewdness of the old guard; of which Morton is the leader. , It became known last night that the old guard was giving serious considera- tion to the introduction of a resolution in the Senate questioning the right of Senator Charles Francis Carter to his seat. Carter, a “dry,’’ and one of the most active of McClintic’s supporters, is a holdover Senator. He was living in Clark Cou when elected and since has moved to 2ounty, which is in a different senatorial district. The old guard contends that when a Senator removes from the district from which he was elected his seat auto- matically becomes vacant. If the ques- tion is raised, it will hinge upon the le- gal residence of Carter. He said today that he was living in Kirksville, Adair County, only for the purpose of educating his children, an4 thet he has never moved his legal resi- dence. The old guard contention its that his removal constitutes a change of res- idence, and that he is not. entitled to a seat in the Senate.

Colbert, the advertising art in her apartment here last week, today examining many men with the young tangle of clews model, were husy who were acquainted woman. Despite the statements of Capt. Tate of the Detective Bureau that, in his be- lief, the former manicure who also was known as Grace Roberts, was beat- en and strangled by an intruder, there are persistent unconfirmed reports that a wealthy young man from up-State, who was under surveillance yesterday, has not yet been entirely cleared of sus- picion of knowing something about the murder. Tate, however, said the young man in question is not wanted by the police, and that he has cleared himself to the satisfaction of the detectives. Capt. Tate said the man, who was an admirer of Miss Colbert, and was gen- erous with presents of jewelry and money, gave a satisfactory account of his whereabouts last Friday, the day the murder is believed to have occurred. Capt. Tate said the woman had been hit on the head, apparently as she tried to raise a window in her living room to shout for help. The window still is stained with blood. The man’s shirt found in the was stained on the right side, as if the wearer had carried the woman. There is other evidence to bear out the theory that the woman was attacked in the manner Capt. Tate suggests. Another rumor in connection wtih the murder is that Grace Roberts, at the instance of a Philadelphia ¢ wrote to a wealthy admirer up the Site telling him that he must see her lawyer and make a settlement for wrong hé had done her. The up-State man is said to have come here Friday and to have gone to the flat while the man who had prompted the girl to write the letter was visiting her. This man fled to the bathroom, it is said, when the up- State man entered. There was a quarrel, it is said, and the model, becoming enraged, attacked her visitor with a flatiron. He warded off the blows at first, the story goes, but soon grabbed the iron and killed Grace Roberts. The man in the bathroom, who ts said to have witnessed the fight, then leaped from the bathroom window on the first floor to a yard and escaped.

Cowling answered “‘Harland's" adver- tisement for a chauffeur. “Harland” told him his mother was coming out from Boston and as she had lately been robbed of one of her automobiles by an unreliable chauffeur, she wanted a re- liable one, who would wear livery and be willing to put up a $40 cash bond, and she would be willing to pay him $2 a week. It didn’t look right to Cowling. He told detectives about it and they went out and got “Harland.”’ He insisted at first that his name was Harland and that he was a son of a vice president of a phonograph company of Cleve- land, but today he’ admitted that Har- land was not his name and that he was not in any way connected with the Har- land family of Cleveland. He says he put the chauffeur adver- tisement in the paper to make a flash, s0 that he would be invited to att in a poxer games He was not exactly an expert at cards, he said but he was very lucky.

Some of it was marked with "Charlies L. Daire.’ The man was not able to tell how that hap- pened. There was a bank book of the Corn Exchange Bank, no city, showing that B.. J.

There was also a ietter tn feminine handwriting, not signed, which spoke about a divorce suit. “Harland” sald that was the di- vorce suit he did not want to testify tn. The police have told “Harland” that he will have to stay with them until he tells his right name. and he says he will not tell {f they keep him two weeka Whale Meat Pee on Market. LOS ANGELES, Cal...

You want to become a power to be reckoned with at the office, the store or the factory. You have your eye on a place higher up. Some day that position will be filled by a new man; you cant tell when. Often in the most stable organizations sweeping changes come out. of what seems like a blue sky. Or, perhaps, a new position will be created—a new department. Are you preparing for these bigger things? Are you mentally marking time or forging ahead? Are you hungry to know all about the articles you're making, the goods you're selling, the ramifications of the business you've entered upon Your destiny rests with YOU If you are going to be ready when your chance comes, you must prepare now. You must master everything about your business if you would grow into big things. The one supreme work to help you.this year— to give you knowledge and confidence—is the Encyclopaedia Britannica. This great library of information covers the whole range of human interests—manufacturing, methods, engineering, architecture, chemistry, medicine, art, music, law, pedagogy—everything, in fact. And you can't get more reliable information anywhere. The 1500 contribtttors to the Britannica are au- thorities in their respective lines. Never before have so many eminent men and women written for one work. ge Put it squarely up to yourself. Suppose, for instance, you work in a furniture factory. Are you learning all about the different kinds of wood, varnish, stains, nails, glue? Are you studying the history of furniture—its famous styles—so you can become an expert on that phase of interior decorating? Or, if you sell silk goods, are you getting on the side all the available information on silk worms, silk culture, the desired qualities in yarn, spinning, the mechanism of weaving, the proc- esses of printing anddyeing? Are you exhaust- ing the subject or are you content with knowing only what you have to know to sell what you're expected to sell? You can make yourself solid with the chief six days a week if you can show him that you know, when the other fellows only “guess” or “suppose.” Own the Britannica and show the chief you can grow Let him know you own this splendid aid to advancement. Let him see that you're preparing your- self for greater responsibility and greater authority. Own it in the “Handy Volume” Issue for its convenience, its com- pactness, its lightness, its inexpen- siveness. Exactly like the larger Cambridge issue in text and illus- trations, the “Handy Volume” issue age about 60% less on account of its size. It is a triumph of compactness. You remember the ninth edition of the Britannica in your father's library—how the big, bulky, many- pound volumes gave an imposing and forbidding look to several shelves of the bookcase. That's all changed now. One volume of a “Handy Volume” set is 6% x 8% inches small: Though it contains 1000 pages, it is only one inch thick and weighs but 21 ounces. India paper has worked this mir- acle. This paper is amazingly thin, but opaque, thin as tissue but ex- ceptionally strong. It wasa daring innovation to use this marvelous paper for the Britannica, but it suc- ceeded in putting this most famous work of reference into the hands rather:than onto the shelves of thousands of readers, India paper has made the “Handy Volume” Issue so popular that the entire printing is almost exhausted.

District Attorney Fickert has made public two letters seized by the police in their raid on the offices of the Blast, an anarchistic paper published by Alex- ander Berkman,»an avowed anarchist. These letters were addressed to Mrs, J. Sergeant Cram, the New York social] leader, who is said to have induced At- torney Cockran to come to San Fran- cisco. Mrs. Cram is the wife of former Pub- lic Service Commissioner Cram in New York. Before her marriage in 1907 she was Clara Bryce, daughter of Gen. and Mrs. Lioyd Stevens Bryce. Mrs. Cram generally has been found on the side of the poor. The two letters made public were ad- dressed to Mrs. Cram from Los Ange- les, during October, 1915. One of the letters is signed with Alexander Berk- man’s name, and ihe other, a part of which fs missing, does not bear a signa- ture. Letter to Mrs. Cram. 4 letter from which a-portion of the text is missing, is dated at Los Angeles, Oct. 19, 1915, says: “Tt found a rather peculiar situation here.

The work will require, I am told, about two weeks, -possibly even more. During that time it is important to continue the work with the posters as well as similar other activities. There are also other activities of great importance to be attended to. “As T have said above, I have already used a third of your contribution for the posters.

Young Linchey, of medium build, blue- eyed and with curly brown hair, smiled when a reporter saw him at his work for an interview. The dark brown suit he wore was of the ready-made variety, but his broad shoulders and heavy legs filled it com- fortably. His shirt, a blgek-striped silk, was somewhat worn about the neck, where his collar rubbed it, and showed unmistakable signs of having felt the application of the darning needle on more than one occasion. He wears little jewelry, and probably the most valudble thing of this sort he exhibited to the reporter was a silver cigarette case, filled with cigarettes. “There isn’t much to tell about my- self,’’ he said, after declining several times to discuss his ambitions. “I’m going to stick right here ani: learn this business (manufacture of bed- There is a great could not discuss the wili or her inher- r ding and furniture). opportunity for me here and no reason why I should quit.

He began the study of Jaw at St. Louis University, he said, but dropped it in his second year. For about a vear and a half a to accepting his present em- ployment, Linchey did an automobile brokerage business, taking orders for cars of all makes and collecting com- missions on the sales. He quit this, he said, because he wanted a _ business training. Linchey said the old Butler home at 3601 Pine street, where he is now living with his father, Peter Linchey, and Mrs. Ellen Clark, a cousin of Mrs. Ellen Butler's, to whom she bequeathed $1000 in her will, will be closed this week. He and his father will live at the Maryland Hotel for a while, he said, while Mrs Clark has made arrangements to live with other relatives. Mrs. Blackmore, whe Maberus & mii- MRS. AGNES BUTLER WAGNER lion from the Butler estate, is wealthy in’ her own right. She was formerly Miss Kathryn Berenice Butler, and in ' her younger: days was an accomplished singer. Mrs. Blackmore has been married three times, her first husband having been John Parle, a broker. After his death she married T. H. Huey, a Texas iand owner, who died a short time he- fore the death of her father in 1911. It was from Huey that Mrs. Black- more inherited considerable wealth, which, at the time, was said to be jn the neighborhood of a half million dol- lars.-. Much of it was in Texas realty, but there was a good deal situated on the outskirts of Fort Worth. r) All Mrs. Blackmore's marriages were happy ones. Her marrigge to Black- more, &@ man considerably younger than herself, was a romance of business, it having been related that she met him while he was a salesman in the furni- ture department of a downtown store. Mrs. Blackmore, then Mrs. Huey, had called to make purchases of furniture and Blackmore waited upon her. They became friends and later, when he went to New York io take a position there, they met again. At the time of her last marriage Mrs. Ituey had left St. Louis with her three children to visit Old Point Comfort. At the time of the marriage it was reported as an elopement, but this was denied by Mrs. Blackmore, who said it had —— For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Neises Here in America there is much suffer- ing from catarrh and head noises, Amer- ican people would do well to consider the method employed by the English to com- bat this insidious disease Everyone knows how damp the English climate is and how dampness affects those suffer- ing from. catarrh.

SUES TWO POLICEMEN FOR \ $5000 ON ASSAULT GHARGE Tinner Prosecuted the Patrolmen and They Were Fined, but Case Became Involved. George Kramer of 3247 North Nine- teenth street, a tinner, today sued Wil- liam W. Casey, 4564A Kennerly avenue, and John M. Bretz, 4513 Arlington ave- nue, policemen, for $5000, alléging that in March, 1916, they beat him and tbreat- ened to shoot him. According ‘to his attorney, Kramer was not arrested. The attorney said the defendants declared that they were investigating a case and that Kramer resisted when they stopped to question hrm. Casey and Bretz subsequently were tried in Police Court on a charge of as- saulting Kramer and were fined $100. They appealed, and the case got before Provisional Judge John Neu Jr., who denied tne motion of Assistant City At- torney Sadler for a jury and dismissed the charge. The city then filed man- damus proceedings in the Circuit Court to compel Neu to reinstate the case and grant a trial by jury, which had been opposed by the defendants’ attor- ney. Judge Hennings vesterday issued the mandamus writ asked for. As Neu is no longer a pr6visional Judge, the writ goes to Judge Miller, who appoint- ed Neu. Shaner said he had withdrawn from the criminal prosecution and could not say whether it would be pressed.

S Made to Mexican Con- stitutional Assembly. By Associated Pros. QUERETARO, Mex., Jan. 3. Palavacini, former Secretary of Public —Felix M. Instruction, who often has spoken fur Gen. Carranza, declared before the Con- stitutional Assembly late last night tht the international situation was grave. Gen. Carranza, said the speaker, had refused to resume: conference with the United States representatives until the American troops were withdrawn from Mexico unconditionally, and he declared that the assembly must rush the work on the Constitution and proclaim the rights of the people, while Gen. Carran- za and the constitutional forces were battling against a dangerous enemy to save the national honor and integrity. WILSON TO CONFER WITH LANE TODAY ON MEXICO ISSUE WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—President Wilson will: confer at 5 o’clock this afternoon with Secretary Lane and the other American members of the Mex- ican-American Commission. American members of the commis- sion began work today on. their response to the last communication of Gen. Carranza, who, it is now admitted, refused to approve the protocol signed by the commission members at Atlantic City for withdrawal of American troops from Mexico and the co-operative, bor- der patrol. A number of circumstances lead to the belief that the joint commission may abandon its attempts t# compose the international difficulties, and that Henry F’.. Fletcher may be sent soon to the pest of Ambassador to Mexico, for which he was confirmed nearly a year ago. Fletcher conferred with Presi- dent Wilson late yesterday. The text of the protocol was pub- lished today for the first time. Following is the text of the protocoi: ‘‘Protocol of agreement ad‘ referendum withdrawal of American troops from Mexican territory and protection of the American-Mexican international bound- ary. : “Signed at Atlantic City, N. J. ‘“‘Nov. 24, 1916. ‘‘Memorandum of an agreement signed this 24th day of November, one thousanJ nine hundred and srxteen, by Franklin K.

Pani, Special Commissioners of the Citizen First Chiei of the Constitu- tionalist Army, intrusted with the exec- utive power of the Mexican nation. “Article 1. The Government of the United States agrees to begin the with- drawal of American troops from Mex- ican soil as soon as practicable, such withdrawal, subject to the further ternis of this agreement, to be completed not later than ——. That is to say, forty (40) days after the approval of this agree- ment by both Governments. “Article 2. The American command- er shall determine the manner in which the withdrawal shall be effected, so cs to insure the safety of the territory af- fected by the withdrawal. “Article IIT: The territory evacuated by the American troops shall be occu- pied and adequately protected by the Constitutionalist forces, and such evac- uation shall take place when the Con- stitutionalist forces have taken position to the south of the American forces so as to make effective such occupation and protection. The Mexican commis- sioners shall determine the plan for the occupation and protection of the terri- tory evacuated by the American forces. “Article IV: The American and Mex- ican commanders: shall deal separately, .or wherever practicable in friendly co- operation with any obstacles which may arise tending to delay the withdrawal. In case there are any further activities of the forces inimical to the Constitu- tional Government, which threatened the safety of the international border along the northern section of Chihua- hua, the withdrawal of American forces shall not be delayed beyond the period strictly necessary to overcome such activities. “Article V. The withdrawal of American troops shall be effected by marching to Columbus or by using the Mexican Northwestern Railroad to E) Paso, or by both routes, as may deemed most convenient or expedient by the American commander. “Article VI: Each of the Governments parties to this agreement shall guard its side of the international boundary. This, however, does not preclude such co-operation on the part of the military commanders of both countries as may be practicable. “Article VII: This agreement take effect immediately by both Governments Notification of approval shall be communicated by each Government to the other. ‘In testimony thereof, we have signed, sealed and interchanged reciprocally this protocal of agreement, ad referendum, :n the English and Spanish languages. at Atlantic City, New Jersey, this twentv- fourth day of November, in the year cf our Lord ene thousand nine hundred and sixteen. “FRANKLIN kK. “GEORGE GRAY. “JOHN R.

Circuit Attorney McDaniel this after- noon called off the investigation, by the present grand jury, of eelction fraud charges, and declared that the grand jury was disqualified from issuing in- dictments in election fraud cases, by reason Of a meeting held by its mem- bers, last Thursday afternoon, at the National Bank of Commerce. At that meeting, McDaniel said, Jeptha D. Howe, former Republican boss, and Harry A. Rosskopf, a Republican lawyer, ap- peared before the grand jurors, in con- nection with the fraud charges. The charges will no -whave to go over, he said, until the next grand jury is impan- eled Feb. 5. McDaniel, a Democrat, took office yes- terday. He said he was informed by someone, whom he did not wish to name, of the meeting at the bank, and questioned John A. Lewis, cashier of the bank, who is a member of the grand jury, about it. Lewis said, accérding to McDaniel. that the meeting was held, that the charges were discussed, and that. Howe and Rosskopf were present. He also said the grand jurors held similar meetings, at the bank, and heard social workers. at the time when they were considering the question of commercial- ized vice. What the Law Requires. McLaniel held that, under the law and the decisions of courts, there would be danger that any indictment found in the election cases, after the meet- ing at the bank, would be invalid. The law, he said, requires that, in consid- ering charges on which indictments may be based, the grand jury shall admit no one but the Circuit Attorney and his assistants, the official st¢q- nographer, and one sworn witness at a time. The Circuit Attorney was inclined to think that a meeting of the grand jury’s members, wherever and when- ever held, was a meeting of the grand jury, and was subject to the laws gov- erning the grand’ jury’s procedure. At any rate, he said, if indictments were to be issued by this grand jury in elec- tion fraud cases, and a lawyer for an accused man should bring up the mat- ter of the meeting at the bank, the cases might be tied up indefinitely, with the likelihood that they would come to nothing. He said he wished to draw indictments that would hold, and that a month’s delay now would be preferable to a longer delay at a later time. When the grand jury met at 2 o'clock this afternoon, McDaniel notified: the members of his decision, handing theia copies of a typewritten Statement, in Which he said that no further testi- mony in the election matter would be presented to them. Decision in Salmon Canc. He then recited his reasons, and men- tioned the decision of the State Su- preme Court in the case of Harvey W. Salmon, a banker of Clinton, Mo. An indictment against Salmon was de- clared by the court to be invalid be- cause a stenographer other than the official stenographer took down the testimony before the grand jury which returned the indictment. “It is my purpose,’ the Circuit At- torney said in the statement, ‘‘to thor- oughly prosecute those shown by com- petent evidence to be guilty. For this purpose, none but valid indictments should be returned into court—indict- ments which will stand every test and every form of attack. It is unfortunate that this investigation must be delayed for a short time, but I am determined that when any indictments are returned, they shall be the result of impartial action, with an eye single to the é€n- forcement of the law, regardless of whom it may affect. “The very nature of the investiga- tion is such as to make it incumbent on me to see that every step is taken with schupulous regard for the law. The fraud testimony will be presented to the next grand jury immediately on its impaneling.” The members of the grand jury, bde- side Lewis, are: Benjamin W. Dalzell, foreman;. Francis X. Adams, F. 8S. Gil- liam, Osear Goodman, Adolph C. Hart- mann, William E. Hoke, Oliver T. Led- ford, John E. Ritchey, John D. Mana- ley, John H. Ostrander and Herbert Elder. e The grand jury returned a partial -e- port last Saturday, stating to Judge Kimmel that it intended to inquire fur- ther into the election cases, and criti- cising Judge Miller of the Court of Criminal Correction for his action in releasing, three days after the election, % negroes who were under bond to an- swer charges of attempting to vote fraudulently. The grand jury also re- turned indictments against two negroes. These indictments will not be affected by the meeting at the bank, McDanie! said, as they were voted before the meeting was held. BILL PREPARED TO CREATE STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSICH Measure Drawn to Enable Missouri to Share in Federal Good Roads Appropriation, A bill to create a State Highway Commission and place Missouri in a posi- tion to share next year in the large Fed- eral appropriations for good roads has been prepared by Harry 8B. Hawes, Representative from the Third St. Louis District, and will be introduced by him in the Legislature. The commission would be appoint- ed by the Governor and would be bi- partisan, consisting of two Demo- crats and two tepublicans, who would receive no compenstion except necessary expenses: It would provide for a State High- way Engineer at a falary of $600 a year, to be named by the commis- sion, who would have supervision | over all road and bridge construc- tion in the State. The bill provides that not less than 3500 nor more than 4000 miles of road should be desig- nated as State highways. The crea- tion of a State road fund, which would be supplemented by the Fed- eral aid is also’ provided for. Another section provides that counties would maintain roads constructed with the State and Federal funds. $4—Toledo & Return—$4 Jan. 6 & 6, via Clover Leaf Route.

I do not want to speak about documents which we found in Brussels and which have been pub- lished. They can be read by everybody. I only wish to single out one point which up to now has not been sufficiently con- sidered—the report made by Baron Greindl, Belgian Minister at Berlin, dated Dec. 23, 1911. “This clear-sighted statesman then explained forcibly that already, at that time, the entente was inspired by nothing but the one thought of encir- cling Germany from the north. As proof of this, Baron Greindl quoted the out- cry started in Paris and London a short time before, when the Dutch plan to fortify Flushing had become known. Baron Greindl then said: “‘The reason why they wished that the Scheldt remain without defense was not concealed. In this they admitted their purpose to, be able to transport an English garrison to Antwerp without hindrance, thus creating in Belgium a basis for operation in the direction of the lower Rhine and Westphalia.’ ‘‘Baron Greindl reported that the plan was then changed in such a manner that the English auxillary army was not to be landed on the Belgian coast, but in the adjoining French ports. This same plan of an English landing {in or- der to threaten Germany was equally hinted. at as imminent by Lord Roberts curing the last Moroccan crisis. “In such circumstances it most cer- tainly would have been an easy thing for Belgium after the German question in 1914 (whether Belgium would permit the passage of German troops) to take her armies back to Antwerp and then let the Germans. under protest march through the country. ‘“‘How little such action would have violated the spirit of existing conditions may be understood if one recalls the secret clauses of the treaties of 1831. In them certain agreements from former times were maintained which reserve, as well to England as to Germany, the right to occupy a Belgian fortress. In 1887 a great English newspaper—if I am mot mistaken, it was the Standard— still declared that employment on the part of Germany of the right of way through Belgium could not be taken as in violation of Belgian neutrality.” Principal of Nationality. At this point the interviewer sald: “In addition to this, the question of] the principle of nationality plays a large part in the answer of the entente. What importance must be attributed to this principle in the present situation? In his reply Dr. Hammann empha- sized every word he said. “No nation,’’ he declared, “is better able to understand this principle than the German, for no great civilized na- tion has suffered so much, has been ‘forced to struggle so° greatly, because of being suppressed and dismembered by neighboring racés. Equally no sin- gle great nation has less to fear from the application of this principle of na- tionalities than the German. Germany would absolutely consent if this prin- ciple of nationalities were carried out in Egypt, India, Morocco, Ireland,: -by the country in power, not to speak of Russia’s nationalities. “Germany has been brutally treated for centuries by her neighbors, despite this principle of nationalities. Yet in 1866, exactly 60 years ago—that is, in the Nimolsburg peace (closing the war between Prussia and Austria) a clause was inserted, upon the demand of Na- poleon III, which left open for the South German states the conclust6én of a separate confederation. The leading but unavowed idea was then to found a new Rhine bund.” As to the free existence of small na- tions, Dr. Hammann said: —— “This idea, too, has found a very strange illustration during the Only a few weeks have elapsed since misfortune of the Rumantans Plainly a ‘gross blunder.’ By this ‘blunder’ a whole nation has been pushed-into mis- ery.. Rumania has been dragged into a great war by all sorts of dark machina- tions. : “And then look at Greece. There the ontente has occupied the ports, rail- roads, cable and postal stations and whole districts of the country, all against the law of nations. “There the entente has simply taken what it needed and by blockade and hunger has forced the Greeks to sur- render those things which the entente was unable to take.’’ British Conference Proposal. “What about the reproach that Ger- many in the decisive week of July (1914) declined the British proposal of a con- ference and thus made war unavoid- able?’’ To this Dr. Hammann replied: “The proposal for a conference was made July 26, by Grey. The meaning of it was that the delegates of France, Italy and Germany should meet with Grey in conference and try to find a Way out of a difficult situation. The first condition making the holding of such a conference possible should have been that the Russian Cabinet declare its consent, but it answered July 27, In an evasive manner and referred to conver. sations with the Austro-Hungarian Am. bassador in St. Petersburg (Petrograd) as having begun under the most favor. able auspices. “The following day Grey agreed to the German proposal that a direct under- standing between Vienna and St. Peters. burg would result in quicker and better action. Thus Grey, on July 2 tele. graphed to Goschen (British Ambassa- dor at Berlin): “*But as long as there is a prospect of a direct exchange of views between Austria and Russia, I should suspend every other suggestion as I entirely VOCS SEUSS ESTSESVEBAS 22S 6040084088 2888 DOSE BOOS BOOS SSE OEE 8609S O6OS HES SSGAB VOUS BOSE BESSSSF 22EOE6 4646886648 7 -* | Continued om Next Page. | %, ) war. | a leading English Minister termed the: iy, Bea Aig eae EE ENS Se ee a ee ee ae ) ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH eich: = i a& Re og Za ZA SS ; Wy Y A ~ ae SZ a. $ J . ‘ -\= : !

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—That certain base- ball magnates are considering a plan to utilize their ball parks for professional football and back financially a league of national proportions next fall is the report brought here from Detroit. An agent of a professional football team which played its games on Navin Field, the American League grounds in Detroit, is in Chicago today, according to a morning paper, to enlist support for his undertaking from the owners of one of the major league clubs. The plan involves the organization of the league along the lines of profes- sional baseball. The promoters will try to enlist the services of those ballplayers who are also football stars, and the remainder of -he teams will be recruited from col- lege graduates. Among the cities mentioned as pros- pective members of the new league are Chicago, New York, Detroit, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Columbus The season wuld begin at the close of the baseball campaign and continue as long as the weather was favorable. Professional football gained consider- able headway in Michigan and Ohio, last year, “particularly in the latter State. Detroit witnessed several pro- essional games, played at Navin Field. In Ohio, the hotbed of college foot- ball professionalism, the larger cities all maintained ‘“‘pro’’ elevens. The most notable of these were the teams representing Canton, Massillon and Cleveland. James Thorpe’s Canton players won the championship. Five of the men on this team were former All-Americans, including Thorpe, Ghee, Soucy, Talman and King, among other notables. Thorpe is said to have received $350 a week for his’services. Other players were paid in proportion. The promoters made good money on the season. In Cleveland professional games were played practically every Sunday during the season. Country Club Team Wins. The Country Club hockey team defeated the Hockey Club seven in a practice game at the Winter Garden yesterday afternoon, 4 goals to 2. Capt. Andy McCreery and C; ore were the stars for the winners. The regular hockey league will start its season on Jan. 10 with four teams. Murphy Shades Brooks. ROSTON, Jan. 8.—Eddie Murphy had a shade over Terry prooks in a 12-round bout here last night.

Brady Named by All Experts in Con- sensus Opinion Assembled by Post-Dispatch, in Endeavor to Name Bethlehem’s Next Opponents. P ROPOSALS made by Manager H. W. Trend, of the Bethlehem soccer team, for a championship series of three games between his eleven and a picked team of all-stars from the St. Louis Soccer League, have not met with violently enthusiastic response, locally. There seems to be some unexplained hesitancy on the part of those in authority to accept. However, if action in this matter is to be governed by the laws of sup- Ply and demand, it is almost a cer- tainty that the games will be played. The PUBLIC WANTS IT and the pub- lic has a habit of having its way. And we might add—parenthetically, as it were—that soccer in St. Louis is growing so robust and healthy that it now threatens to prove big- ger than its promoters. At least there is a sentiment that a game which has such strong appeal to “Young America’—a game through whose veins so many red corpuscles are surging—deserves more generous attention from its backers and a more concerted effort at promotion. De- tails in handling big crowds have been neglected, while the comfort of the spectators has not been over- zealously guarded. ‘ But that is not to the point. All-Stars Seem Afraid. Our theme is to pick an all-star team, one that should be able, witi the proper amount of conditioning and practice, to knock the everlast- ing conceit out of Bethlehem or any other recruited aggregation that the effete East may send this-a-way. This is nothing but a hazardous task, for it was our experience to find more diversified opinion on the subject of an ALL-St. uis team than. on any other subject broached about sport in these parts in eons and eons. Theré is grave danger that, should the time come to pick the most rep- resentative eleven to sagged in the col- ors of St. Louis, nobody will be found willing to make the nominations. Sentiment and partisan bigotry may result in a bad selection of ALL- stars. That at least is the inference one gets after trying to extract from those qualified to speak their idea of what thé make-up of an all-star team should be. But a consensus of opin- ion was reached and the following players were the most popular: Player. -L. fullhack...St. Leos R. fullback. .Reserves . le halfback. .Innisfails Cc. halfback ..Millers --..-R. halfback. .St. Leos Outside left ...Millers .. St. Leos - Leos . Millers T. Brady HMarris...... Zarschel J. Miller. . McHenry D. Brannigan. .Inside left R. Brannigan. .Center tL Inside right. Kehrman Outside right, Innisfails There was absolute unanimity in sev- eral instances. Duke Sheahan had no competition in the matter of guarding the goal. Neither was there much doubt about the fullbacks. Bill Abstein and Tate Brady“have established themselves, locally. However, there were those who thought that Mr. O'Hanlon, a first-year man in the league, should have the pref erence over some of the men selected as halfbacks. Tne hardest job on & soccer field is the halfback’s job, and there were those who thought that O’Hanlon }. hac the greatest uisites of such a player—namely, speed and stamina. In a game such as Bethlehem is sure to display, it ts essential that the half- backs have speed and the ability to maintain a killing pace for 9 minutes. Zarschel had few votes against, but Harris and Johnny Miller were in many instances superseded by O’Hanion or others too numerous to mention. Great doubt was expressed about the forward line. It is first a serious ques- tion whether Richard (Bull) Brannigan will there out of end the a Vast w “Rube” Potee were 6 the belief that he should play center. “Here is a man,” sald one veteran of ol me. ~o- ae rg’ = ot in e league. @ can crack ball through from the 30-yard line and he comes closer to being & swe; peokes ar anyone else | Johnstown, owever. Mo- gn ee ae, and that Kehrman does pretty well with the left foot. But the point has often been made to the writer of late that there are too many good players in the local league who can use only their right boot.. This is attributéd to the fact that the local pavers do not train as they should. ‘hey don’t get in front of a brick wall and prac- tice with their left foot for an hour at a time, as the good players of the old days used to do. But shortcomings of this sort are forgotten when one considers’ the vast amount of speed which the pres- ent-day kickers have in comparison to those of the past. Schwarz and Maender, for instance, are so fast that it is hard to com- plete a team without them; but the eleven as nominated above, if put to- gether in time and trained properly, should send Bethlehem back to its kennel thoroughly conscious of the fact that England is the cradle of soccer, but St. Louis is its playroom and nursery. Here’s where the game is going to grow up and get strong —if mismanagement doesn’t kill it. N. B. F.

INC. : SCRATCH TENPIN EVENT TO PRECEDE HANDICAPS ‘Bowling Body Hopes to Avoid Lack of Interest Shown Last Season. St. Louis bowlers are at present #re- paring themselvés for the aanual*“4ty scratch tournament, which will be started on the Congress Alleys on Jan. 17. The entry lists close a week earlier. City association officials figure that the event this season will prove the best ever staged. Entries at present are coming in fast, and the 70 total of last season probably will be shattered. Bowlers assert that the officials made a wise move when they decided to hold the scratch event before the four handi- cap tournaments. Last year, the scratch event took place late in the campaign, when interest in the tenpin game was dying out. The tournament will be conducted as was the Middle West, six alleys being used, the bowlers shifting after each game. The entry fee is $1.25 a man for each event. This is 2% cents more than in former events, but the tenpinners will not have to pay for their bowling as in previous city events. While the officials of the local asso- ciation are not counting on an entry of 400 five-man teams, the total drawn by Chicago in its city event, they will be greatly disappointed if not more than 150 enter the title event. Chicago Bowlers Busy. With their city tournament over, Chi- cago bowlers are now getting ready for the American Bowling Congress tour- ney, which will be staged in Grand Rapids, Mich., starting early in March. But the Windy City pin-topplers will compete in several others before the A. B. C., Including the Northern Illinois at Rockford and Interstate at Aurora. The latter event will decide the cham- pionship of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa. From present 70 five- indications about men teams from Chicago will go to the Furniture City for the A. B. C. tourney, This will be about 25 more than represent- ed the Windy City at Toledo last year. Officials of the A, B. C. expect a new entry total to be set this season. Grand Rapids alone will enter 150 quintets. It that St. Louls will have between 1 teams entered in the event. It's a bit early though and only «a few of the local quintets, including the Itudweisers and the Cabannes (again the first ones to send in their entry) having decided for a certainty to go. | OU are old, Father Honus,” the young man sald, “And your hair has become very white; But I see in the papers you've lately been wed— Do you think at your age that is right?’ “I’m as old as I feel,” Father Honus re- plied, “‘And I feel like a 2-year-old colt; I think it high time I was grabbing a bride { And giving the publie a jolt.” The fans are all for you,” the young man said, “And they’re glad you have taken a wife; They love every hair in your grizzled old head And wish you a long, happy life.’’ “Many thanks, many thanks,” said the husky old scout, “I have taken good care of myself, And many a rookie will be counted out Ere old Honus is laid on the shelf.” i * _ Perhaps. ey ATHER TIME has been very good to Honus, albeit his legs don’t get any straighter with age.

Circuit Attorney McDaniel announced today that his office would make a new inquiry into the qualifications of bonds- men, following the Circuit Clerk’s com- plaint that Chris Schawacker, a profes- sional bondsman, owes $193.6 on cost bonds, and that an execution issued on one of the bonds for $34.0, in 1911, was returned by the Sheriff with the report that he could find no assets. A year ago, at the instance of Thomas B. Harvey, then Circuit Attorney, the grand jury investigated the methods of accepting bonds in criminal cases, and recommended that the bondsman’s state- ment of his qualifications should be filed with each bond accepted. This was done, Harvey explained, so as to permit the filing of a perjury charge against the bondsmen in the event of his fail- ure or inability to pay a forfeited bond. At the time the Circuit Attorney’s of- fice considered that Schawacker was well qualified as a bondsman. A Post- Dispatch reporter today, at the Asses- sor’s office, learned that Schawacker is paying taxes on real estate assessed at $15,300 and on $750 personal property. On Bonds Totaling $13,600. At present, Schawacker says, he is on bonds in criminal cases totalling $13,600. Six of these bonds, for $2000 each, are in the arson charges growing out of the fires at the Nixon-Jones Printing Co. and the Gilmore-Bonfig Decorating Co. The defendants at liberty on these bonds are Mayor Roy M. B. Tidd of Webster Groves, Julius R. Bersch, under two bonds on two charges; Harold G. Gilmore, Harry C. Imel and Edward Milner. Schawacker also is on the $800 bonds of Roy J. Hanold and Horace Green, jointly charged with burglary. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Scha- wacker said that he had been a profes- sional bondsman here for 4 years, and that in that time he had paid out more than $25,000 in forfeited bonds. He said that he had made “a little money” out of the bond business, but that he had gone into it originally to help his un- dertaking business, and that when he got into politics the necessity for sign- ing bonds became more and more urgent. He is 65 years old, resides at 2800 Russell avenue, and formerly was a member of the House of Delegates and Superintendent of the Street Depart- ment. Schawacker said that he {s now worth $38,000 above his liabilities, and that “he didn’t owe anybody a nickel.” The complaint against Schawadker as a bondsman was sent to the Circuit Judges last Saturday, in a letter writ- ten by James Hagerman, who retired that day as Circuit Clerk, and by his chief deputy, Waller Edwards. This letter set forth seven cases in which Schawacker had failed to pay costs in civil cases totalling $193.65, and warning the Judges that until Scha- wacker paid these costs he was ineligi- ble to sign more bonds. Edwards said that he learned of these cases last month, when investigating Schawacker’s qualifications as surety bondsman for costs in @ civil case. He found the 1911 report of the Sheriff's inability to find assets on which to levy. On Dec. 8, Edwards wrote Scha- wacker to pay up. Failing to receive a reply, he sent two deputy clerks, on Dec. 28, to Schawacker’s home and he explained that he was too ill to give the matter his consideration at that time. Sent Letter to Judges. Eawards then wrote the warning let- ter to the Circuit Judges. Schawacker contends that the Sheriff first should attempt to collect the costs from the tirms interested in the litiza- tion, and that upon failyre to collect from them should then come to him as the surety for the money. Nevertheless he paid the cost bills today. Schawacker, on election day, Nov. 7, signed $800 bonds for more than 90 ne- groes arrested on suspicion of being in- volved in election irregularities. The to- tal of these bonds was more than $72,000. He had rigned bonds in blank, in the chambers of Judge Miller of the Court of Criminal Correction, and when a ne- gro was arrested at the polls a Repub- lican committeeman went to Judge Mil- ler’s chambers, and the name of the prisoner was written on the bonds al-}! ready s@Jkh SUITS : | /SIPA\O Offering $2, $2.50 and ' dozen and dozen lots while the saving is so pronounced, becoming styles in Billy Boy, Tommy Tucker and Eton models, variously trimmed; Suits of heavy galateas, reps, percales and Terry cloths in all sorts of combinations’ and color effects; to 8 years. ee | foe a KS \ 21, lutely washable; sizes $3 Qualities bb, Choose them in half abso- Second Floor FOR THURSDAY—A SALE OF 7 “Betty Wales’ Dresses For Misses and Small Women Originally $15 to $19.75 Special for Q dL o We were exceedingly fortunate in securing a prize lot of these popular dresses.

Sold and tae y above Viel doeaes ‘| assembly to hear testimony and report ‘who was shown on the returns to have | been defeated by Frederick D. Gardner, have determined upon a course of action whic hthey intend to be a bombshell among the Republicans urging the con- test. Their decision is to urge the Legisla- ture to permit the contest and to in- clude in it an investigation of the pri- maryson the governorship, to ‘“deter- mine whether Lamm was thé legal! nominee o fthe Republicans.’’ One of the Democrats who has attend- ed the conferences told the Post-Dis- patch correspondent this morning the position of the Democrats is that, in a contest, the first question to be diceded is whether the person filing the contest actually is entitled to be the candidate of his party. ‘“‘We propose as the first move,” he said, “‘that the committee selected by the Legislature go to St. Louis and open the ballot boxes of the primary election. Jeptha D. Howe and Otto Stifel were the backers of Henry Lamm in the pri- mary and had great influence in St. Louis, and we propose to learn whether their candidate received as many votes in St. Louis as the returns gave him. There is a possibility that John E. Swanger was really the nominee of the party. “If the investigation should show this to be the fact, and that Lamm was not the legal nominee, then, of course, there could be no basis for a contest by him. Expect Contest to Be Allowed. “It is our idea that the Legislature will receive the petition for the contest courteously, and that while the contest may not be authorized immediately, that eventually it will be. We do not fear an investigation of the ballots in the general election, but we feel that there may be some basis for allegations of fraud in the primary.” The petition signed by Lamm proba- bly will be filed in the Senate and House either tomorrow or Friday and the two houses in joint session will vote whether to consider the contest. This is the first time in the history of the State that an attempt has been made to contest the election of a Governor, and members of the Legislature there- fore have no precedents in the matter. The law is clear on the general proced- ure. After the Legislature has can- vassed the election returns and has de- clared Gardner to be elected the Lamm petition will be presented. It is cus- tomary to canvass the returns the sec- ond day of the session, which will be tomorrow. After the presentation of the petition the House will meet in joint session and take an aye and nay vote on the ques- tion of whether the petition for the con- test shall be granted. If a majority of the members should vote aye a com- mittee will be appointed by the joint its findings to the assembly. Gardner to Be Inaugurated. Lawyer mémbers of the Senate and House say there is no question that Gardner can be legally inaugurated now, though his seat should be contested aft- erward. United States Senators Stone and Reed are expected to be in Jefferson City Tuesday to confer with Democratic members on the contest. The petition filed sets out no specific instances of the alleged frauds on which the contest is based. Fraud in every precinct in St. souls and Kansas City and in Dunklin, Mississippi, Cape Girar- deau and New Madrid Counties is charged. The contest never has been taken se- rfously by Democratic members of the Legislature, and there appears to he little enthusiasm among the Republican members. They were open in their statements that they did not particu- larly care to go into it until the arrival of Jeptha D. Howe, who, in several con- ferences, has changed their attitude somewhat, and seemingly has_ brought about an agreement for the Repub- licans to stand together. Concerning the petition, Judge Lamm | public decency is the foundation of the | | of a general cleanup.” Tamm has a long preamble reviewing i'test was credited with 380,092.

Thomas Lawler, 14 years old, of 3469 Grace avenue, and Frank Ruhr, 16, of $316 Cherokee street, were arrested at 11:30 o'clock last night in a stolen auto- mobile at Manchester avenue and King’s highway. John Garcia, a police chauffeur, was in a saloon at 2261 South King’s high- Way when Lawler entered and asked for a match. Garcia followed the boy to the street and saw him climb into an automobile, the engine of which was running. Ruhr was at the wheel. When questioned about the owner- ship of the automobile the boys admit- ted having driven it away from in front of a theater at Iowa avenue and Chero- kee street. Ruhr said that Lawler had gone into the saloon with the intention of holding up the place. Lawler denied that. An unloaded revolver was taker from Lawler.

To the @ditor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with surprise the letter of Mr. Daniel F. Bannon, as published in your issue of last Sun- day, in which he portrays lamentable conditions in Kansas, which, he alleges, was caused by that State’s prohibition laws. I live in Horatio, Ark., and am interested in a small tusiness enterprise that makes it necessary for me to visit a few Kan- sas towns in December each year. I can truthfully say that on none of these trips have I seen even one drunken man, nor did I see any evidences of drinking or the sale of liquor or any of its sub- stitutes. On the contrary, quiet and order pre- vailed, and the people I came in contact with were eourteous and obliging. I saw no one begging. I came from Kansas City to St. Louis Friday night, and regret to say that in both these cities I have seen men under the influence of liquor, al- though I did not go into a saloon at either place. In St. Louis I saw boys not 15 years old enter a saloon. I inquired of a bystander if this was al- lowed, and his reply was that it was not supposed to be. . I was on an inbound Hodiamont car Sunday eve- ning, and a couple of young men on the car were drunk and so disorderly that I was surprised that the conductor did not eject them, Mr. Bannon’s is the old, ridiculous and threadbare story of people who seek to excuse themselves for favoring the sale of liquor by claiming that prohibition does not ‘prohibit. The serious nature of the subject serves to rob these shelf-worn stories of the humor they would otherwise provoke. TY have lived in Arkansas all my life, and for 80 years have been a consistent worker for prohibi- tion.

In expressing gratitude and appreciation of the Moving and Storage Co., in conection with the Central Trades’ and Labor Union and the Post- Dispatch distribution of Christmas cheer, Mr. J. J. Hartey undoubtedly was not aware of the fact that Leonorit Storage and Moving Co., Walker Fur- niture Co., Fidelity Moving and Storage Co., Macke Furniture Co., Stock-Peterman Furniture Co., Perle Moving and Storage Co., American Storage and Moving Co., Prosser Storage and Moving Co., Buettner Furniture Co., and the Oroutt Storage and Moving Co., also the Niedringhaus Furniture Co.,, donated their vans and auto trucks in this good cause. Therefore an expression of apprecia- tion and gratitude to one and not all would be, unfair, so in justice to all I want to thank the C. T. and L. U., all the above firms and the Post-Dis- patch for their efforts in distributing Christmas cheer. ONE WHO KNOWS. A @. Washington Tree. ‘From the Ashland Independent. ¥. V.

MISSOURI FIRST. The opening maneuvers of legislative, leaders indicate that it will not be an easy task to put through a constructive and progressive program of legislation. Gov. Gardner and the legislators who want to place the State on its feet financially and to enact sound measures needful for the progress of the State and the welfare of the people will are to fight to gain their ends. The struggle for control of the Senate between the progressive members and the reactionary Old Guard who have obstructed good legislation and promoted bad legislation; who have protected spe- cial interests against popular interests, is tlie ‘opening skirmish of a battle that will be waged until adjournment. Similar forces are aligned ‘cr battle in the House. The paramount object of many of the legisia- ‘tors is personal and political. They want power and patronage for themselves and their friends They are maneuvering and caucusing and button- holing and promising to gain office, to gain pow- er, to gain patronage and influence. They are lay- ing wires for political preferment. Their hands are out for spoils. Among men of this stripe the interests of the State are lost. They are incidental to personal in- terests. Gov. Gardner and his supporters can win the fight against the reactionaries and the spoils hurt- ers. They have a powerful lever in public opin- fon. The people demand their program of pro- gressive legislation which has been outlined as necessary to the financial requirements, the good management of public institutions and the general public welfare. The men who oppose this legislative program fight in the dark by intrigue and secret influ- ence. They carry dark lanterns. They cannot bear the light. of Gov. Gardner and the progressive elements need only appeal to the people. A clear statement of the public needs and the purposes of the men who oppose good legislation will bring an instant re- sponse from the people. The independent press is open to the Governor and to every legislator who ‘wants to serve the State. The people are not interested in the personal ambitions of self-seeking politicians; they are not interested in patronage nor in partisan advantage. larged and improved educational system: they want well managed institutions; they want equita- ble taxation; they want justice in the law and the courts. Measures proWiding for these things will receive popular support. An intelligent fight for them in the open will win. ” La, Lr - THE NIGHTGOWN STRIKE. The 1500 striking I. W. W. workers among the lumber jacks of Northern Minnesota demand that the companies furnish nightshirts and that the camps shall be cleaned twice a week. The em- ployers, who are arrogantly resisting demands of such modesty and justice and appealing to the Governor for militia, must have failed to count on an aroused and imperious body of public opin- fon. Any downtrodden I. W. W. worker who wants a nightshirt must and shall be permitted to have one. Employing companies which palter, import strikebreakers and confuse the issue by shrieking for arbitration only prejudice their own case. What could arbitration do in such an issue? Could a demand for a whole nightshirt be com- promised on an award of half a nightshirt? The merits of the demand for cleaning the camps is not so clear. But cleaning them twice a week has some superiority over waiting until spring and removing the accumulations with a steam shovel. = = % —- SS eS WHAT THE GERMANS ARE FIGHTING FOR. ‘If Germans wish to know why the sentiment of the allies is so inhospitable to peace, let them read their Kaiser’s proclamation to his army and navy. The Kaiser tells the German people that they have been “victorious in all theaters of war, on land and sea.” The campaign in Rumania is described as “‘our recent triumphal march.”: ‘‘Tke greatest naval battle this year was our victory in the Skagerrak,” in which the German fleet retired to its base and left the British in command of the sea. “The gallant deeds of our submarines have secured for my navy glory and admiration for- ever.” “God also in the future will be with us.” The Kaiser could hardly say more if the British navy were at the bottom of the sea and German troops were in possession of London, Paris, Petro- grad and Rome. That sort of rhetoric may be ad- mirably adapted to the business of fooling all of the Germans some of the time and some of the Germans all of the time, but it is not a prelimi- nary to peace conferences. For dynastic reasons it is necessary to make the German people believe that they have won the war and that any peace which Germany may propose is a victorious peace; but there will be no peace on that basis. It may flatter German pride to believe that Ger- many has been “victorious in all theaters of war, on land and sea,” but that sort of pride must be paid for, and it will be paid for. What the Ger- man people are actually fighting for is not a Ger- man victory, but a means so placating their own pride that they will not be tempted to revolu- tionize their Government when the war is over. They do not know it; but they may rest assured that the Kaiser knows it and the Chancellor knows it and all Junkertum knows it. The Imperial Government would immediately offer most liberal terms of peace, if it could be cer- tain that when the reaction came there would be. no change in the German attitude toward the throne and the doctrine of diviné right. This is not the first time that a great people has battled desperately to insure its own political servitude and to save itself from freedom, and it may not be to understand what they are reaily fighting for, which is not freedom for Germany, but their own continued political submission to the medieval system that plunged them into this war. a bs oe i A NEW BIRTH FOR THE LEVEE. “Impractical,” says Comptroller Player of the plan elaborated by a committee of engineers on the initiative of St. Lo business men for a comprehensive improvement of the levee district. “The city would never vote $15,000,000 for a project like that.” How does Mr. Player know that St. Louis would not vote the money? It.is not so many years since it voted $5,000,000 in public money 7or an ex- position, in addition to its share of a large State contribution, and millions more in private contri- butions. ‘“Impractical,’” said some St. Louisans when it was proposed to reform the School Board znd put it in a position of independence regarding revcnne. St. Louis not only has approved the expenditure of millions since for a perfected type of school buildings, but has just voted a $3,000,000 bond is- sue to continue the work. It has voted almost half of fifteen millions for improving trans-Mississippi facilities and an ag- gregate of millions more in other improvements. The time has gone by in St. Louis when an in- vestment of public money is to have condeimna- tion pronounced on it simply because of the size of the investment. The merit of a project is to be tested, not by figures showing the amount of expenditure in- volved, but by figures showing the dividends to be returned in benefits, the direct and indirect re- turns that may be counted on from the invest- ment. They want good government. They want an en-|. Applying this test, what safer, sounder in- vestment for $15,000,000, assuming that it would cost that much, could be found than one that would call into being another magnificent Thames embankment on St. Louis’ water front? It is, as Mr. Player says, an old, long agitated project—so old and long agitated and weli under- stood, in fact, that an inventory of al! it would signify for this city would be disputed at the risk of public impatience and resentment. Is our hope of putting our river to work and sharing with northern and eastern centers the enormous advantage, of water communications to be permanently surrendered? -°= __ . It must be if a project for creating the local conditions enabling St. Louis to profit by tiver trade is “impractical” because it requires an in- vestment proportioned to the rewards to be reaped. A shabby, unlovely, declining section of St. Louis’ front door would have a new Ddirth in a well devised plan for a proper utilization of the levee district. STRAW BAIL AND GUN TOTING. Circuit Attorney McDaniel has information leading him to believe that at least some profes- sional bondsmen. operate under an automatic, safety-first system enabling them to carry about with them bail bonds on which all formalities purport to be complied with except the inserticn of the name of the prisoner. If true, this indicates a serious condition. The facts in a Yate case in which attempt was made to liberate a prisoner on a forged bond are undisputed. These persons on the fringe of the underworld who supply sureties for a generous consideration seem to be showing an increase in daring and li- cense, instead of the decrease hoped for some months ago. Crooked bail deals deserve the sharpest attention and most vigorous action on the part of the new Prosecutor. Gun-toting is an- other difficult subject to which he will devote earnest effort. Inforcement of the law governing firearms means a gratifying reduction in the lo- cal homicide rate. : Success in both these branches of effort will contribute to a record of usefulness in this im- portant office. = = * rw we OUR QUADRENNIAL FOLLY. The men who make the laws at Washington are going too far when they propose making it a fel- ony to bet on the election. A very large propor- tion of the people think that is all an election ts for. They would rather bet than vote and if bet- ting is denied them they may refuse to vote. And what would become of the country then! We need the election bet. Between elections wz devote ourselves to serious pursuits and think lofty thoughts and would a good deal rather be killed than do anything ridiculous. And that’s all right for four years, but could we stand it longer than that? Once in four years we must do something inde- 'corous or die. Up to date we have been kept alive by the quadrennial election bet. Just when we are about to blow up from sheer excess of high- mindedness a national election comes along and we bet and lose and the next day we roll a peanut down the street with our nose or push the winner through town in a wheelbarrow, with a brass band leading on, or we sacrifice the whiskers it has taken years to accumulate. Something like that restores the equilibrium and we are good for another four years of sedate endeavor. If the lawmakers are determined to do some- thing about it, they might fix it so that whe loser would be required to roll a peanut to the peni- tentiary gates. That would impose a suitable pen- alty for betting on the wrong side and still »re- serve to us the prized and priceless boon of the peanut parade and pushing a loaded wheelbarrow for 10 days. = = — OUR SHIPBUILDING ACHIEVEMENTS. From the Review of Reviews. Nothing in the present seething industrial activity of America is more striking than the sud- den expansion of the business of shipbuilding. Just how fast and far we have gone in hurrying the construction of cargo carriers to take the place of those destroyed in.war, interned in neu- tral ports or sealed up in German harbors, Its shown in a@ recent report of the Department of Commerce. Today the Delaware River shipyards have tonnage under construction exceeding any shipping district In Great Britain, which is equivalent to saying, of course. in the world. Ninety vessels are building in this one center. ag- wregating 419,213 tons. The Delaware River's nearest competitor is the great British ship- bullding district of Newcastle, with 401,926 tons. Altogether in the Upited States there are now building 417 vessela of 41,545,270 tons—~-almost ‘the last.

Molly was for playing jackstones (the game of the minute) during every waking moment. Billy laid aside his en- tire afternoon for baseball, with just a gasp for washing face and hands before dinner, and my quiet little Elizabeth wrote ‘play keep house’ all over her sheet of paper. But when they were shown how to divide up their time be- tween the things they really liked to do, they found it a pleasure to Arrange things go that they would have time for everything. “I added special hints which were warmly adopted. This involved an hour a week at cooking—on the cook’s day out; an hour of thoughtfulness for oth- ers—helping me, taking care of a neigh- bor’s baby, or something of that sort, and an hour or two a week at making something pretty—something to wear, or a bit of carpentry, or some flower ar- rangement in the living room. “They actually have twice as good a Cremation and the Resurrectio Believing in the literal rising agai of the body, you can not think that the power of the Almighty to collect the scattered elements is limitea by the cir- cumstances and conditions under which disintegration takes — the remains to ruth- Burial in the earth but less disturbance at the is of future generations. come running tn and out of the house during the after- noon, saying: “Mother, may I do this? Mother, may I do that? as most youngsters do,” remarked a visitor in a house full of children. “They seem to plan their own affairs so well, and yet not do the wrong thing, either. How do you manage? “Why, I let them hake their own schedules,” replied the mother, threading another needle, and taking up the little frock she was sewing on. “What sort of schedule?” asked the guest. “Their schedule for the afternoon and early evening. You see, their morning schedule is mapped out for them. They must gwét up at a certain hour, be dressed ané have their breakfast by a certain moment, and arrive at school on schedule time. There !s a schedule for the school hours, recess and dismissal—after that a child’s day is generally an unregulated, jumbled affair, full of desultory play, errands and happen- so activities. No one has time to di- rect their play, as is done at play- grounds, and as a result they spend half their time asking their mothers what they shall do next, or teasing to do something they shouldn't. “When this sort of thing began with my children I decided to léet them make their own schedules for the leisure hours. It is really more fun to make out a plan for play, just as one makés out a plan for a party, and then follow it, than it is to wan- der outdoors with no particular aim. So I called them together and said: “ *Now each of you has three beauti- ful hours this afternoon, and another hour after dinner, in which to visit each other, play games, roller skate, go to the motion pictures, make doll clothes, read stories, and all the other things you love to do.

Upon entering the rooms where Mrs. Lawrence Wright's flower studies are displayed one almost bursts into a shout of delight, they are so joyous in their color, so ablaze with light, and so happy in their composition.

WALKER HEN Hans heard the six feet of W the Ogre clattering away ne jooked after him until he dis- appeared into the house, and then Hans wondered if he put on the kettle to boll! for him, for he knew the Ogre muet be sure he could not cut the hundred trees and saw them by the next morn- ing. Hans chopped and chopped, and the tree was nowhere near falling when be wondered how the Ogre would know if he ran away. So Hans dropped thw hatchet and ran. On and on he ran, and he was quite sure he had escaped when he heard the clatter of feet, and six feet and three heads and two big hands were afte: him. “Thought you could escape, did you?’ asked the Ogre. “I told you not to try it. Now you will have to do more work than cut the hundred trees and saw them. You must also bring me a fine cow that gives only cream or into the pot you go in the morning.” The Ogre picked up Hans and put him under one arm, and the six feet carried him through the woods in # jiffy, and Hans once more stood before the hundred trees with the hatchet ready for work. He watched the Ogre go into the house and Mana set to work again. “I am good as soup now,’ thought Hans; “bu: Hans and the Ogre—Part II. I will do the best 1 can; I may be able to cut one tree, but even if I did cut the hundred trees and sawed them, where would I get the cow that gave all cream? I am lost; I know I am.” “Chop, chop,’’ went Hans’ hatchet, and at the third chop down went the tree. Hans looked at it in suprise; it really was down. Then he tried another tree. “Chop, chop, chop,’’ and at the third chop down went that tree. When he had chopped at the third tree three times, instead of falling, as the others had, the tree opened and out jumped a little fairy. “Poor little Hans,"’ she said, ‘‘you are a brave fellow; you have tried to do al! you could in spite of the fact that you were sure in the morning you would be breakfast for the Ogre. Now, I am go- ing to heip you.”’ Hans was too surprised to say much, but he did manage to thank the fairy and say he needed help very much. “Yes. I know you do, and if you do just what I tell you in the morning you will be free and never want again as wng as you live.” “You must get into the Ogres house without awakening him and cut off the long hair that grows on one of his heads, but to do thie you must first ru’ this liquid in this little bottle on the head that has no hair at all; then yor much put on each horn on the other — head these rings of brass. When this is; done you can easily cut the long hair, but you will have to manage to do this as best you can, for in that I cannot help you.” Hans took the bottie and the brass rings and thanked the fairy, for he felt he could not be in worse luck than he was, no matter if he failed. Creeping softly to the Ogre's house, he heard sounds of groaning, and when he opened the door carefully the sounds grew louder. The groans grew louder and Hans called out to know what was the matter. In a minute the trap door in the ceiling opened and the Ogre put out his three heads, the faces of each all twisted with pain, and Hans almost ran away with fright, they looked so dreadful. “Oh, ‘my heads, my heads!"’ groan.d the Ogre. ‘‘All three are aching dread- ful. I can tell you. Have you cut the hundred trees and sawed them?’ “T can cure your heads if vou witl let me,”’ said Hans, ignoring the ques- tion about the trees. Down came the Ogre, and Hans knew he had his chance. “You will have to hold your heads very still,” said Hana, ‘while T rub on this liquid I have." » On the head that had no hair at all Hans rubbed the liquid, and that head bobbed and nodded until the eyes closed. Then Hans rubbed the head with the short hair and the horns, and by and by that nodded and Hans slipped the rings on the horns. The other head was still wide awake, but Hans got the shears and snipped off the long hair, and down on the fioor in a heap went the Ogre, snoring like the sound of distant thunder. “Now we have him at our mercy,’ said the fairy, appearing at that mo- ment. “What shall we do with him? *T am aure ! don't know.” answered lians. “I really do not wish to harm q phim; al] I want is a chance to escape being made into soup, and [I guess he must have suffered enough, having three heads aching at once.”’ ‘‘Hoow would you like to have a broth- er, a cow and a dog?” asked the fairy. Hans said he should like that very much, and the fairy touched the sleep- ing Ogre with her wand on each head and there appeared a dog that barked and jumped about Hans, licking his hands. Then a cow appeared, and then a boy about Hans’ size, and Hans looked at them all without knowing what to say. The boy took the cow by one horn and led her to one end of the kitchen, and the next thing Hans knew he was standing in a nice warm barn instead of the kitchen, with a stall for the cow and loft filled with hay. The fairy pointed to the door, and, looking out, Hans saw a nice little white cottage not far away. ‘This is tos you and your brother to live in.” said the fairy, and the dog jumped first at Hans and then at his brother and ran toward the door. “Rover seems to want his breakfast,"’ said the brother. “Perhaps you would like yours. I know I should.” Hans thought of eating for the first time since he ate the soup, and he dis- covered he was hungry again. When they went into,the house Hans and his brother found on the table a nice breakfast waiting for them, and for the second time in his life Hans had all he wanted to eat Then he looked for the fairy, but she had divappeared, ard he never saw he. again, or the Ogre either. Hans and his brother lived in com- fort all the rest of their days, for the brother proved to be a good farmer, and Hans Was always ‘**--'¢' he ate the soup in the Ogre's kettle, even if he did have a hard time escaping from being soup himself.
