Gas furnished to St. Louis consumers by the Laclede Gas Light Co. in the month of December was not up to the Standard of heating quality agreed on last July between the company’s repre- Sentatives and the Mayor, it was an- nounced today by Director Hooke of the Department of Public Utilities. It was the first month since the agreement was made in which the company has not met the requirement. The City Corfnselor will send official notice to the company to improve the quality of its product. The agreement was made at the time when the company obtained permission to change the medium of tests from candle power to heat units. The com- pany promised to maintain a standard of 680 heat units to the cubic foot. For December its average, in 25 working days, was 693 units.

An application was made today to Cir- cult Judge Davis for a charter for the Children’s Lunch Association, an organ- ization of women who will serve hot lunches to public school children at cost. The application was made under what is termed the benevolent statute, and no capital stock was mentioned, as the or- Sanization is not for pecuniary gain. Miss Edith Eustice Souther of 5118 West- minster place is named as president and Mrs. Corinne Bauman secretary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The current “?Pruember of the diplomatit list,-fssuéd by the State Department, announces that Miss Violet Erskine has been attached to the British embassy as a secretary. The-appearance of Miss Erskine’s name on the diplomatic list establishes a prece- dent for Washington. There is no rec- ord here of a woman ever before hav- ing been assigned to duty in the diplo- matic corps where here services were of such a nature that her name was includ- ed in the official list of the State De- partment.

HOWITZERS ON TRUCKS Mobile Rifles to Run. on Rail-, ways or by Traction for the , Coast Defense. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Ordnance and aircraft innovations designed from lines developed from the European belligerents have been authorized by both War and Navy Departments. They include Zeppelin type airships and large-caliber mobile rifles and howitzers, to be mounted on railroad trucks, for the coast defense or hauled by tractor engines over country roads. Secretary Daniels announced toda, that the “‘Zeppelin’’ would be construct- ed at once. Determination to build the craft was reached after an exhaustive study of the question of rigid airships by a joint committee of officers repre- senting the aeronautical branches of both services, the géneral staff of the army and the general board of the navy, which recommended that con- struction be undertaken at once. The recommendations have been abproved by Secretaries Daniels and Baker and the cost will be equally divided between the army and the navy. Army ordnance plants are already building: at the Watervliet Arsenal, New York, pilot guns of the 16 and 12 inch Howitzer type. Plans are practically completed also for a 14- inch high-powered rifle with car- riage for mounting on railroad trucks.

Dr. Meisenbach said that when he left the restaurant, at 8 p. m., he was stopped by Scully, who asked, ‘‘Why are you eating in a scab joint?’’ He said that when he replied he would eat wherever he wished, Scully struck him. Dr. Meisenbach swore to a warrant charging assault and battery. Scully was released on bond.

ONE IS WORTH $50,000 Anton Mauve’s “By the River”’ Highly Prized; List of Other Works. Thirty paintings from the art collec- tion of the late Daniel Catlin have been siven by Mrs. Catlin to the Art Mu- seum in Forest Park. Catlin was a member of the Board of Control of the museum. Estimates of the value of the paint- ings vary, but it was stated at the museun: that the collection was believed 10 be worth $200,000 or nore. The paint- ing regarded as most valuable is ‘“‘By the River,”’ the work of Anton Mauve, a Dutch painter. Its vakrf is esti- mated at $50,000. There are two other Mauves in the cvllection, on: entitled “Cows’’ and the other ‘‘Sheep.”’ Daniel K,. Catlin, a son of the late Daniel Catlin, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that he did not believe his father had intended the paintings to &« to the museum, as the matter was not mentioned in his\will. His mother, he said, Wrote a note to the museum, stating that she desired to present the collection to the institution as a me- morial of her husband. He declined to place a value wn the collections. Will Be Displayed Later. The paintings are now in the hands of the muscun: authcrities andl the dite or their first display will soon be an- nounced. They will be kept for a time in a separate room.

CASTE KEEPS MEN OUT OF ARMY, SAYS U, S, OFFICER Enlistment Oath An Cath of Sondage, Testifies Marine Corps Major, Opposing Conscriptiosa. — WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Maj. Williar. G. Harlee of the marine corps, before the Senate Subcommittee on Universal! Military Service, yesterday disapproved of all universal service proposals and suggested a radical plan. He asserte:t that as a recruiting officer he had learned that the “military caste, the most orthodox caste in the country,’ and the fixed obligations of the enlist- ment oath were the factors that de- terred men from entering the army. ‘The oath of enlistment is an oath of bondage,” he said. “It brands the man who takes it as of a lower caste. i am opposed to any service except tha: rendered by willing men.” The Major proposed that no enlist- ments be required and that the men trained annually be permitted to ‘eave the service at will. To make it a seri- ous matter for them to quit, however, he suggested that a minimum monthl) pay of $30 be provided and ‘all but a smali sum be held back until the train- ing period had been completed. He said caste was fostered by the idle, barrack life. MAN DRIVES HIS AUTO INTO DITCH AND IS ARRESTED Marshal Cherges Contractor With Drunkenness—Wife Says Hus- band Had been fil. When D. W.

His wife this morning sald to a Post- Dispatch reporter that he had lately recovered from an attack of la grippe and that the condition which made the marshal think he was intoxicated was a result of the fliness. Marshal Knickman said Ye could not have been mistaken and caused a war- rant to be tsasued on the drunkenness charge. The automobile bore a 1916 Illi- nois license. State Senate Meets Five Minutes.

BERLIN, Jan. 5, by wireless to Say- ville.—Desperate fighting in the valtleys leading tnto the interior of Northern Rumania is reported in today’s War Of- fice communication. Notwithstanding determined Russian resistance the Teu- tonic troops stormed defenses on both sides of the Kasino and Suchitza Val- leys. Field Marshal von Mackensen’s troops have captured the Rumanian town of Galreaska. The Russians renewed their attacks yesterday on the northern efid of the Russo-Galician front, near the Gulf of Riga. The report says the attacks on both sides of the River Aa were re- pulsed completely. London Observers Regard Rumanian Situation as Gruve. LONDON, Jan. 9.—The capture of Fok- shani, the western bastion of the for- tified Sereth line, by the Teutonic allies is commented upon here as rendering graver the situation of Rumania. Fok- shani lies on the railroad, 45 miles noth- west of Galatz, and this important Dan- ube town apparently is in great jeop- ardy. Berlin last night reported that violent artillery duels were in progress near Riga. Dispatches from Scandinavian sources say the Russians have prepared for a great effort in the Riga district. Petrograd’s official announcement of yesterday said that in three days in this region 16 cannon and about 90 prisoners had been taken. Commenting on the Rumanian aitua tion, the Times today says: “It means that the Sereth lines are turned and that our allies must now fall back once ore. There is no sign of slackening in the enemy's determination, cnd it may well be, as our correspondent at Jassy the new Rumanian capital, suggests, that he designs the complete subjuga- tion of Rumenian territory.” The Times pays tribute to the great ef- forts Russia put forth in Ru narta’s be- half, saying: “Her attempt to hold the Sereth lines has failed, as the attempt to savé Bucharest failed; but she hag delayed the Germans for weeks ani made therm pay a heavy price for .ueir successes. The main brunt of the recent defesive has fallen on Russia. for the buik of the Rumanian army has been withdrawn behind the Russian lines to be refitted and reorganized. Russia could hardly have hoped to do more than delay the enemy's advance. Field Marshal von Maeckensen has three larze armies at his disposal, and, we may be sure, a useful superiority in big guns * ees “With both their extremities now in the enemy's hands, tne Mereth lines, so far as they run west of the river, are useless. No doubt the Russians are on their way by this time to their next main defensive position, the River Sereth i- self. Behind that line again is the for- midable river line of the Pruth. Vor Mackensen is now almost within scrfk- ing distance of Russian territory, but oc must either atte.npt «a passage ‘of the Danube from Dobrudja or must force the river positions of the Sereth and Pruth pefore he can set foot on it.” The staterient reads: “The enemy is tenaciously defending the valleys leading from the Berecsy Mountain into the Moldavian plain. In spite of unfavorable weather and diffi- cult terrain in the wooded mountains, our troops are pushing back the enemy, by step. Again yesterday, on both of the Kasino and Suchitea Vai- step sides leys, strong positions were stormed and dent Rules Committee’s Prc- inary Inquiry Into Al Leak. Banker Salim Tells of Statement Some Time That Germany Sc Peace Through Presi Lawson Promises to Names if the House C a Formal Inquiry; TI ened With Contempt. WASHINGTON, Jan. %.—5 Baruch, a well-known New Yor stock market operator, a member @ the Council of National Defense a heavy contributor to the De cratic campaign fund fn the election, denied on the witness before the House Rules Comm this afternoon that he had any information regarding Wilson's recent peace note. Thomas W. Lawson, after vance questioning and urging, today ised that, should the House order § formal inquiry, he would disclose i names of the Cabinet officer, the & tor and the New York broker, who, & said, a Congressman had told him, we engaged in a stock gambling part ship and had profited through ac information of the peace note. To disclose the names of the Rules Committee, Lawson repea refused, even when confronted ‘ three separate resolutions to put him im contempt, for two reasons: baa 1. He contended the Rules Com mittee had no power te conduct © thorough investigation, Including “one” ~ of the Stock Exchange,” a he urged, and he would not be assured ¢ an investigation if he disclosed ¢ names. 2. Lawson said he con ¢ that disclosure of the names at this time would have a disastrous effect for the country and the administration. In | preference to that, he preferred being punished for contempt of Congress, — Congressmen questioned, cross ) ined and pleaded in vain with the Bow ton financier to give the names of th® informing Congressman, the Cabinet ficer or the Senator. “IT cannot name the Cabinet officer” whom I have referred without men ing another official of higher posi said Lawson, “and that would be serious than if I cast a cloud over entire Congress and was sent to jall self for life.” All through his testimony Le hinted at names “higher up,” but amount of questioning would bring down to a definite statement. When the committee recessed foi lunch the members seemed to think they had gone as far as they could with Lawson at this stage, so they excused him as a witness temporarily, but tom him to remain within jurisdiction of ti committee until the resolutions putting hm in contempt were disposed of. ae Wants Exchange Reforms, wip At today’s hearing Lawson F acknowledged he was more interested i ears = a congressional investigation of the New York Stock Exchange, which would ré- — sult in remedial legislation, than he o.. in investigating the “leak” on Wlison's peace note.

Lawson said he had no idea what they aggregated. He would not give a diréct answer when asked if he had operated a selling campaign. si Third Contempt Motion. A third motion to report Lawson for ‘cOntempt was entered by the committee on demand of Representative Chiper- field, when Lawson continued to refuse te tell who gave him the names of three men alleged to be involved in the ‘teak.’ Lawson insisting that his in- formant, a Congressman, had said the names should not be made public be- cause it might be disastrous to the na- tion and the administration. In answer to a question by Represen- tative Cantrill, if, in case an investiga- tien. of the leak were ordered by the Hause, he would agree to give the te committee the name of the member Congress he had in mind and of the Cabinet official, who, he said, had been a beneficiary of the “leak,’’ Lawson “y will.” Bftorts by Chiperfield to induce Law- son to state the amount of his profits on the stock market during December were futile. Lawson maintained he did rot know whether he made $1,000,000 or $500,000. Answering Chiperfield, Lawson again declared he had no direct knowledge through a “leak” of the coming of the President's peace note. By a process of elimination Chiperfield lished by questions that Lawson had no knowledge which would be ac- cepted in court, of any broker, includ- ing Barnard Baruch, who was operat- ing on a “leak,” or any officer of the Government who had any knowledge of a “leak,”” or of any member of either house who operated on the Exchange during December either on a “‘leak” or otherwise. ‘Representative Chiperfield then urged Lawson to give the name of the “‘leaker”’ he was reported to have given to Chair- man Henry in confidence, 10 days ago. ‘Again Lawson refused to answer, on the ground that to make public the name would result in more serious conse- quences to the country than his being punished for refusing to answer. “Did you give any name to Chairman Henry?” persisted Chiperfield. ‘“What- ever I said to him was said in confi- dence."’ ’ T’ll release the witness from any con- fidence,"’ interrupted Henry. Did you mention any name to Mr. Henry as that of the leaker?’ repeated _Chiperfield. ‘I did not.” After persistent demands were made that he give the name now, Lawson sald: “J would rather take the consequences than to mention the names now. There is another name that might be mentioned that would precipitate even more serious consequences. But this is not the time nor the place.”’ Promise to Furnish Names. Representative Cantrill then asked Lawson if he would furnish all the names to a special investigating commit- mend and the House order an inquiry. “I will,”’ replied Lawson emphatically. “If there is a drastic investigation, to say that it would be more serious for me not to give the information I have than to give it. But I do believe it is too serious a matter to give before this committee has determined what it will do."’ “You really have no interest in any in- vestigation about the ‘leak,’ anyway, ‘have you?” asked Representative Gar- ret.. “All you want is an investigation of the Stock Exchange that will lead to Federal regulation, is it not?" “Yes, that’s true,’ said Lawson, frank- ly, arousing the surprise of members of the committee. “The only motive behind your agita- tion of this matter is to force a drastic inquiry into the stock exchanges for legislative purposes?"’ Garret continued. “Absolutely,” said Lawson. “And you are a common stock gam- bler, are you not?’ interjected Repre- sentative Harrison. ‘‘The same as you are,’ retorted Lawson. “What do you mean by that?’ de- ed Harrison. “Only that I deal in just as you or any other citizen seeking investment might do." "I cannot name the Cabinet officer to whom I have referred,”’ Lawson replied to renewed questioning by Representa- tive Harrison, “without mentioning an- other official of a higher position, and that would be more serious than if I Cast a cloud over the entire Congress end was sent to jail myself for life."’ response to questions by Repre- ve Patten, Lawson said he did not wae the “leak” got into Wall street gh any newspaper man or from any i document.

PIRAEUS, Greece, via London, Jan. 9. —Ministers of the Entente Powers to- day handed to the Greek Government an ultimatum, giving Greece 48 hours to comply with the demands contained in the note drawn up by France, Great Britain and Russia, Dec. 31. The entente note to Greece demands, among other things, that all Greek forces outside of Peloponnesus be re- duced to a number strictly necessary to the preservation of order; that all meet- ings of reservists in Greece north of the Isthmus of Corinth be prohibited; that ali persons detained for high treason or for other political reasons be released worthwith; that the commandant of the First Army Corps be dismissed, and that the Greek Government make apol- ogies to the allies’ ministers and flags at some public spot in Athens for the recent attacks on allied forces in that city.

TO EXPOSE MISMANAGEMENT OF STATE’S PRISON Continued From Page One. victs to be worked outside the prison by persons not entitled to work them, though the statutes say spe- cifically that this shall not be done, That the Warden has made use of the private funds of convicts depos- ited with him as Warden in making out the payroll, That Carl McClung, commissary of- ficer at the penitentiary, and son of the Warden, bought decorations for the prison chapel for a private dance at which he was host and that the decorations were paid for out of the expense fund of the prison, That large quantities of fine hand work and embroidered linen manu- factured in the female department at the prison and high-grade inlaid furniture have been taken by the Warden for his residence, State Clothing Factory. That the relations of the clothing factory owned by the State and those owned by D. M. Oberman, largest prison contractor, and supposedly the State’s chief competitor, are even more closely intermingled than the recent exposures in the Post-Dispatch would indicate, and that the State factory is entirely dependent upon Oberman for its raw materials and sells him the larger part of its out- put. That officers of the penitentiary have submitted and have been paid expense accounts for trips out of town when the daily time records in the prison show they were not absent on the dates given, That the per diem expenses of War- den McClung when he is traveling or is away from the capital are from 50 per cent:- to 200 per cent greater than other prison officials. One Statement Corroborated. The Post-Dispatch today corroborated Murphy's statement that fuel has been sold to persons having official connec- tion with the prison, when Attorney- General Barker, a member of the Board ot Prison Inspectors, which has com- plete charge of the prison and all its affairs, admitted that. he had been buy- ing coal at the penitentiary. Murphy said the records showed that ‘ohn P. Gordon, until yesterday State Auditor, and another member of the Board, had bought coal at the prison. He said coal also had been delivered to the Central Missouri Trust Com- pany (of which State Senator Sam Cook is’ president), and that he mailed a re- ceipt for payment only a few days be- fore he was discharged. The bank, he said, paid $3.20 a ton for the coal, though the retail price at which local dealers are now selling soft coal is $4.50 a ton. Murphy said former State Treasurer E. P. Deal was the only member of the prison board who had not bought coal or other supplies from the penitentiary. Concerning the selling of fuel, Section 1634 R. 8S. 1908, says: “‘The Warden shall not sell or give to any of the officers o> employes of the prison, any fuel, forage provisions or manufactured articles un- der his charge, nor permit such things to be taken or used, except for the use and benefit of the State. all the Powers concerned are said to have been anxious to maké it, as far as possible, a real reply to the Presi- cdent’s inquiries. Publication of the note is net expected until 48 hours after it is received, as it is believed arrangements have been made for its simultaneous publication. It is said there have been considerable changes since the first draft and the Near East question is reported to have been considered at much freater length than was first considered probable. Russian Newspapers Still. Fail to Un- derstand President Wilaon’s Note. PETROGRAD, Jan. 9.—The Russian newspapers and Russian public opinion are still wide of the truth in their understanding of President Wilson’s mo- tive in his peace note. These comments must not be confused with the attitude of the Russian Government, to be ex- plained in the joint response of the al- lies. Recent events make it possible io see a new angle in the Government siatement, prepared for the Post-Dis- patch correspondent by the Foreign Of- fice: “Underlying the whole situation. re- garding peace proposals is a Germin tnreat to the allies. The purpose of the German note to make neutrals assist in securing peace at @ moment advan- tageous to Germany, by direct threat to some neutral Powers, is confirmed by the presence of German submarines and the simultaneous Wilson note. “The Russian attitude was always against war, but it was blocked by Ger- many in 1914. Russia was for peace un- tii Germany declared war, so, while wholly understanding President. Wilson's humanitarian position, she calls atten- tion to the fact that there has been nod mention of Belgium and Servia, which have suffered all the horrors of the German regime, especially as German opinion is insistent that Belgium submit ‘o Germany in a political, economic ana military sense, if not actually annexed.: Count Andrassy Says Statement as to Peace Terma Was Misinterpreted. AMSTERDAM, Jan. 9.—The Koetnische Zeitung says that Count Julius An- drassy, the Hungarian opposition leader, has expressed regret that his statement regarding the communication of Ger- many’s terms to President Wilson has been misinterpreted. A recent cable dispatch reported Count Andrassy as saying that President Wil- son was in a position to communicate Germany’s peace terms to the allies. Subsequent dispatches corrected this statement, making the Hungarian states- man say that the President would re- ceive the German terms, with the in- ference that this step depended on sim- ilar action by the entente Powers. There has been considerable doubt as to the exact language used by Count Andrassy. Greek Reply to President’s Note Handed to American Minister. ATHENS, Monday, Jan. 8.—The official reply of the Greek Government to President Wilson’s peace note was com- mungated today to Garret Droppers, the American Minister in Athens. The reply associates Greece heartily with the President's effort in behalf of peace. den. His salary is the same as that of a guard. Murphy said there ar: at least 100 young convicts in the prison who. are expert chauffeurs, and would be glad to operate the Warden’s car. Stevenson devoted all of his time to driving the Warden’s car while serv- ing as a convict. The Post-Dispatch correspondent also substantiated Murphy’s statement that McClung and members of his family have their clothes made in the peni- tentiary tailor shop. T. J. McElroy, for- mer superintendent of the tailor shop at the prison, admitted he had made cloth- ing for members of the McClung fam- ily. McElroy said he made five suits at one time for Carl McClung. He said he would testify to the facts. Murphy declared he has indisput-. able evidence to prove the statements he outlined to the Post-Dispatch are true, but said that far more serious revelations will be made if a bona- fide investigation is made by a body authorized to take evidence, and that he will disclose the sources of infor- mation and the witnesses who will be needed to ouwutain full information. KANSAS APPEALS TO GARDNER Wants Governor to Stop Liquor Traf. fie Acress Border. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 9.—Attorney- General S. M. Brewster has sent a let- ter to Gov.

President Says Securities Should Repre- sent ‘Honest Dollar.’’ * J. Lionberger Davis, candidate for president of the Business Men’s League. now known as the Chamber of Com- merce, speaking before 30 members at the Planters Hotel today, outlining his views with respect to public service cor- porations, declared that the printing of securities on paper with no honest dol- lars back of it ought not to be tolerated. He said that he believed that every hon- est dollar invested in public service cor- porations ought to be allowed to earn a reasonabel return. Davis was frequently interrupted by demonstrations of approval as he gave expression to his views on the different problems confronting the city with which the Business Men's, League is ex- pected to deal. In answér to the oft- repeated report that he intended to ap- point Roger N, Baldwin, now secretary of the €ivic League, secretary and gen- eral manager of the Business Men’s League, he read a letter from Baldwin saying that he would not accept the sec- retaryehip of a commercial organization, if it should be offered to him, as his training had been in civic work. He said that he had been asked his views on prohibition and that he had answered that he thought prohibition was a moral question that ought not to be taken up by the league, but that if any considerable number of members wanted it taken up, then he believed it should be referred to all the members for a vote, and the result publicly an- nounced, so many for prohibition, so many against it, and so many not voting because they ddi not believe moral issues should be brought into the league. Stand on Union Labor. “IT stand,” he said, “and have al- ways stood for the open shop—for both sides. I believe in the right of men to organize for their own pro- tection, and I believe that any manu- facturer who attempts to prevent men from organizing -for their own protection is running a closed shop, and I have no sympathy for men who try to keep other men from working.” Davis said that St. Louis is standing at the crossing of the ways, and must go forward and meet the problems con- fronting it, or come to a halt. He said that it was difficult for men of the older generation to comprehend the view point of those of the younger gen- ‘eration. “A great many fathers, he said, thought their sons never grew up. This fact was better unders tood by those who had fathers than by those who nave sons, he said. There is a need for community co- operation in St. Louis, he added, and it ought to be understood that business men prosper with a community and nev- er at its expense. We have to have fac- tories in St. Louis, he said, but we need foreign commerce, freedom of access to the ctiy, proper transportation facilities and the removal of all useless barriers to commerce. There ought not to be any more toll charges between St. Louis and the East Side communities than are absolutely necessary, he said. ‘T believe that the league ought to get the public point of view about many of the important questions that arise, and that we ought to forget our imme- diate private advantages and put into the community as much as we take out of it,” he said. “I think we need more efficiency and more aggressive action in the league, and that the organization should give the kind of service that sim- ilar bodies are giving in rival ctes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The greatest crowd of recent years packed the Sen- ate galleries today for the debate and vote on the bill to make the national capital dry. The first big fight was on the amend- ment to submit the question to the peo- ple of the District of Columbia on a referendum, which is supported by the liquor interests and others. The lineup: on that point is so close that while both sides claim the vote, it is apparent that neither feels secure. When debate opened hundreds of let- ters and telegrams supporting or oppos- ing the referendum were either read or presented for printing in the Record. MACKENSEN’S MEN IN RUMANIA TAKE ANOTHER TOWN Continued From Page One. Mackensen—Taking advantage of their victory, the German and Austro-Hun- garian troops advanced farther north,’ defeated hostile rear guards and reached the Putna sector, where the enemy holds the opposite bank in a new position. “On both sides of Fundeni, the Rus- sians were driven into the Crangeni- Nanesti line. Galreaska was captured by storm in hand-to-hand fighting and maintained. “The booty and prisoners reported tak- en yesterday have reached a total of 99 officers, 5400 men, three cannon and 10 machine guns.”’ Regarding the front of Prince Leopold, the statement says: ‘Renewed hostile attacks on both sides of the river Aa were completely repulsed. Night attacks by Russian raid- ing detachments between Friederich- stadt and the Mitau-Olai road were without success. “The Russians during a heavy snow- storm, succeeded in recapturing the small island of Glaudon, north of Il- lukst, taken from them on Jan. 4. Further Russian advance against the west bank of the Dvina was prevented.”’ Face Back to New Post- tions in Rumania. PETROGRAD, Jan. 9.—The Russians along one sector of the front in Rumania have fallen back without hindrance by the Teutonic forces to new positions along the line of the Putna and Sereth Rivers, the War Office announced to- day. On the Moldavian west frontier, attacks in the Oituz and Suchitza val- leys were beaten off, but the Rumanians were forced back slightly in the Kasino valley. The Russians, by a sueprise attack, recaptured the island of Glaudon, in the I*vina, north of Dvinsk, which they lost recently, and took seven machine guns end four trench mortars from the Ger- mans, and afterward repulsed a counter attack.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—President Wilson told several] hundred woman suffragists at the White House today he could not understand why more suffragists did not realize that the Dem- ocratic party was doing more for them than the Republican party. He said he had always done his best foro otohe movement and would continue to do his best. Miss Maud Younger and Mrs. Sara Bard Field, spokesmen for the delega- tion, representing the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, urged the President to lend his support to the pending constitutional amendment for suffrage and give up his oppvsition. The President replied he hda not ex- pected to listen to an appeal on that question, but rather to receive the memorials on Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain’s death. He said he was not prepared to go any further than he had, adding that he was the leader of a party which had not indorsed the amendment. “The Democrati¢ party is more in- clined than the great opposition party to help the suffrage cause,’ said the President. ‘It seems to me that many women have misunderstood this fact. I have always done my best and shall continue to do my best for this cause, in which I believe.” FIRST BILL IN HOUSE IS MOVE FOR NEW STATE CONSTITUTION Offered by Dumm of Cole County and Provides for Election on Sub- ject in June, JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 9.—Bills were introduced for the first time this session in the House this morn- ing.

QUESTIONS FROM BENCH Brandeis Asks Lawyer if Court Should Take Notice of In- creased Living Cost. WASHINGTON, Jan. -The great legal fight the constitutionality of the Adamson law continued in the with attorneys over Supreme Court today, for both sides frequently being inter- rogated from the bench by the Jus- tices. The attack of the railroads upon the law was practically closed, and tomorrow the Government lawyers will make their final arguments in its defense. In presenting the railroads’ case, Walter D. Hines, their chief counsel, laid stress on the argument that the law is not a constitutional regulation by Congress of interstate commerce but merely a wage-fixing statute. He denied that Congress had the right to fix wages and declared that there was no analogy between rate and wage fixing. Chief Justice White and other Jus- tices frequently interrupted him. Justice White’s questions were ap- parently designed to draw out argu- ment regarding the comparative au- thority of Congress to prescribe wages as well as rates. Power of Congress. “Can Congress authorize the Inter- state Commerce Commission to fix railroad wages?’ asked Justice Day. Hines replied that it was doubtful, unless the wages were abnormally low and should interfere with trans- portation. Asking if the brother- hoods’ wage contracts were fixed prior to 1913, Justice Brandeis said: “Shouldn’t this Court take judicial notice of the fact that there has been a great increase in the cost of living since these wages were fixed?’ Hines answered that the _ fact “would not justify the Court in hold- ing that evil existed which would justify Congress in exercising a \power even if it had that power.” “If there is no power there can be no justification for its attempted ex- ercise,”’ the Chief Justice observed. Power Over Wages. “Mongress has no power to prescribe wages hecause they have no substantis! relation to safety and efficiency in this case,’’ replied Mr. Wines. ‘‘The direct object was for the benefit of particular cases,’’ he continued. ‘“‘Any effect on rublic i: terest is incidental.’ “Then you argue that this is a regu- lation of wages and of private relations between employers and employes re- mote fros service?’ asked Justice Pit- ney. “It is a most remote regulation of commerce,’’ Hines answered. He added that the .aw would doubtedly cause increased rates. WELL-KNOWN SHOE MAN DEAD William H. Shelby Died of Pneumonia in New Mexico Jan. 3.

STATE HOUSE, JEFFERSON CITY, Jan 9.—Gov. Frederick D. Gardner was on the job in his shirt sleeves at 10:20 this morning, the first real business day of his administration. He first tackled a huge stack of let- ters, but said that he expected to do little today except confer with his office force in arranging a workable office system which would save time and turn out work as rapidly as possible. He was in excellent spirits. He complained of a soreness in his right arm and hand due to shaking hands with thousands of persons at the receptions. The Governor could talk of little ex- cept his intention to settle down to work on his legislative program. To the Post-Dispatch correspondent, he said: “I believe my message was well r:- ceived and am particularly gratified at its reception py the press, which seems without exception to approve it. “T believe that the public generally knows that I meant every word in that message and that I will leave no stone unturned to bring about the adoption of ..¢ program outlined in it. “T have no other object in being Gov- ernor. As I said in my message when I am through being Governor I am through with public life for good. I have a purpose and I. mean to accom- plish it. ‘IT hope to work harmoniously with all persons in public office, and can see no reason why we cannot work together with the single object of the public good. *‘However, I am going right straight ahead and if anybody gets in the way he will be run over. So far my mail and my conferences have not revealed any opposition which cannot be met with argument and I believe the few who have opposed my measures will be guided by a desire for public good and will be open to a change when they thoroughly understand my plan.” GARDNER KISSES MRS.

Gardner’s inaugural ad- dress yesterday the crowd thronged about the platform to congratulate him; leaning over the _ railing, he shook hands heartily with hundreds. Far back in the line came Frank O. Watts, president of the Third National Bank of St. Louis, with Mrs. Watts. As the latter reached up to shake hands Gardner learned far over the railing, put his arms about her shoulder and kissed her. Watts told reporters they were life-long friends. Mrs. Watts said: “We were children together down in the old home town in Tennessee.’’ SCHOOL PATRONS NAME OFFICERS Hartmann Is Chosen Head of Organization, Moses Hartmann, an attorney, was re- elected president of-the St. Louis Public School Patrons’ Alliance last night at a meeting in Central Public Library.

By FRANCES CABANNE SCOVEI, JEFFERSON CaTyY, Jan. 9.— From the ‘time the special train, with its 14 coaches, left St. Louis yesterday morning for the inauguration of Gov. Gardner in Jefferson City, until! its re- turn this morning, was just one big picture of gayety, color and music, out of which stands a number of bright spots. There were the officia! ceremonies out under the bluest sky ever seen in Jan- uary, splashes of bright colors made by the women’s hats and growns, a long row of men in olive drab’ uniforms standing at a salute, another row of men in the most elaborate uniforms re- splendent with gold braid—the Colonels, the booming of a cannon somewhere off in the distanct, a very earnest man tell- ing what he hoped to do and a: beauti- ful woman, beautifully dressed and Mis- souri had a new governor, Frederick D. Gardner, and a new first lady. Then everybody went up to the plat- form to congratulate them. Mrs. Gard- der was radiant. She was wearing a street dress of navy blue serge and black satin. There was some steel bead work on the serge straps that went over the shoulders and on the belt. It was so warm that she was without her coat, but she wore some brown furs— a muff and neck piece, a hugh corsage bouquet of orchids and a small white plush turban with a white aigrette be- hind. Mrs. Gardner held a little impromptu reception in her automobile while she was waiting for the Governor, and when he got in she turned and logked at him, put her hand under his chin and said, “Well, Daddy?’ as much as to say “Well, here we are,” and kissed him right there before everybody. All during the cheering tould be Neard “Oh! Uncle Fred,"” coming from a win- dow in one of the public buildings over- looking the square, filled with a bunch of the Governor’s young nephews. Reception at Mansion. In the afternoon at 4 o’clock there was an informal reception at the Man- sion after the Colonels received their commissions. The Governor’s house stands in a block of ground overlooking the river and quite imposing. There was Jim Cole at the door; inside were Gus Haenschen and his orchestra. In the dining room was Franklin at the head of the negro boys serving coffee, and who should go up to give the Gov- ernor a message but “Sport,’’ valet from Bellerive Club, and upstairs were some of the servants from the old Glen Echo Club. The Colonels formed in a double line in the long hall.- There were new Colo- nels and old Colonels, fat Colonels and thin Colonels, but all very grand. They stood very formally while .the} Governor presented each one to Mrs. Gardner. She was lovely and gracious and when she got to Russell E. Gard- ner, she kissed him. She had on a chiffon velvet gown of the most wonderful strawberry shade, trimmed with mole skin here and there. It had a full skirt and a bodice witha long waist, long sleeves, was cut into a “vy at the neck and was stunning. The ceremony of making the Colonels must be described. There they stood with all their gold braid—miles of it— taking up the whole hall. After they had saluted the Governor, the officers of the Missouri National Guard who had been in line in another part of the hall marched up stiffly and each one took off his saber and hooked it on a Colonel's belt. One soldierly looking young Cap- tain said “I had a time watching my Colonel to get my saber back. I was afraid he would fall down and cut his head off.”’ and told many funny stories about them- selves and their new uniforms and how they begged the Missouri regiment's of- ficers to help them with their gold braid. James F. Ballard. who is quite slim, was trying his on the night before when one-of the buttons literally blew -up—it: must have been made in an ammunition factory, so he and his sister, Mrs. Tom Anderson, and Mrs. Ballard telephoned frantically to all the other Colonels, but there wasn't such’ &@_4xtra button in town. They didn’t know what to do, but someone spied two buttons way down on the tail of the coat, so the day was saved because no one could see the coat tails. Col. Marx carefully brushed out his }chair in the dining car before sitting down and then there was a chorus of “Ted, you better tuck your napkin under your chin.” The reception at the brought out all the St. tingent—some of whom house for the first time. It is a splendid old place with huge rooms and high ceilings and a wonderful stairway. There are 3% steps and a »alustrade made of mahog- any about a foot wide, and as they are against a curved wall everybody was talking about what grand banisters they would be to slide down. Gov. Major said he had always hoped he would have a chance some- time but “here it was the last day and they were all decorated with wild smilax and he couldn’t.”’° Just think, Mrs. Major's las. order in the man- sion was to dust down the banisters —and he didn't know it. Little Miss Janet Gardner was asked how she liked the house and she said, “Oh, pretty well; but I think the steps and the banisters are fine.'’ And all aft- ernoon her nurse was watching her for fear she might try a slide. Dancing in New Capitol. The inaugtral ball which has always been held in the mansion, turned out to be two functions. The reception was in the mansion but the dancing was in the museum of the new capitol. The guests began arriving before Gov. and Mrs. Gardner had gone downstairs and before those who were to receive wit’ them had arrived. It was a remarkable sight. en and children entered the house, went up a stairway, unseen in the front hall and came down the big stairway from the second floor. There were women in street dress, with hats, some with nubias over their heads, others in the most elaborate evening costumes, with elaborate head- dresses. mansion Louis con- saw the Men, wom- Men with their overcoatg on, officials in ‘evening cle ‘thes, the military evening dress of the militia, police officers from St. Louis and Kansas City and one man in a hickory shirt and corduroy pants. They passed between the receiving line headed by former Gov. Major, Gov. Gardner, Mrs. Major and Mrs! Gardner and all the high officials and their wives, including Judge and Mrs. Henry W. Bond of St. Louis and Adjutant- General and Mrs. Donnelly, also of St. Louis, and the Colonels who kept the crowd moving so as not to block the way. Mrs. Gardner's grown was exquisite, someone said she heard it cost $1000, but -when asked Mrs. Gardner § just gasped and said: ‘I'd hate to tell you how little it cost. It was made by the dressmaker who has made my thinus for years.” But then, you know some- one has said Mrs. Gardner looks like a million dollars in every thing she puts on.

No. 7, has a liftle boy four years old who “ig bothered with bronchial trouble, and catches cold whenever he runs out in damp weather. His head and nose stop up and he coughs so much that his lungs will wheeze until you can hear him all over the room.” Mrs. Crowe says she just rubs VAPORUB well over the throat and chest and covers with a warm flannel! cloth and the vapors arising open his head. She also stops his cough by letting him swallow a small piece. In fact, Mrs. Crowe writes us quite a long letter and ends by saying—‘“I would advise all mothers to keep VAPORUB on hand, especially if they have any emall children.

ROMER, ANGRY AT WOMAN, SETS FIRE TO HER HOME Mother and Her Two Children Endan- gered by Flames at Old Man- sion, Homse in Belleville. John Segner, a roomer in the old Man- sion House, at High and East Main streets, Belleville, set fire to the build- ing, at 8 o’clock last night, because he was angry with Mrs. Bertha Leetteg, his landlady. She was away at the time, but. the fire imperiled Mrs. Ambrose Martin and her two small children, who lived in the same building. Joseph Kelly, another roomer, helped Mrs. Martin and her children to get out. Segner, after starting the fire with kerosene and trash in one of Mrs. Leet- teg’s rooms, carried away a suit case containing his clothes, tut he stopped in a saloon and soon began to boast of what he had done. The police were looking for him, and his talk hastened his arrest. He admitted the crime. Ths damage to the building is estimated at $1000. , The Mansion House was once Belle- ville’s principal hotel, but has for yearg been a rooming house.

MRS, JULIA PREWITT GETS DIVORCE, $1000 ALIMONY} A divorce was granted yesterday by Judge Garesche to Mrs. Julia \ Wilson Prewitt of 5775 Kingsbury place, from Arthur L. Prewitt, a son of the late Dr. Theodore F. Prewitt, who died in 1904, leaving a valuable estate. She testified that her husband did not support her and drank to ekcess. They were mar- ried Aug. 4, 1906, and separated Feb. 28 last. They have two children, Julia, 9, and Arthur, 6, whose custody was award- ed to the mother. It was announced that Prewitt, who did not resist the suit, had agreed to pay to Mrs. Prewitt $1000 alimony in gross. Judge Garesche said this sum was not.enough, on account of the two children, but he entered the order when it was explained that their grandmother, Mrs. Lilllan Wilson, widow of P> ter Wilson, a Wealthy lumberman, would provide for them.

A fantasy, “Mary Ann,” is pro- duced by a cast which includes Louis Calhern, a pleasing reader, who was formerly a member of the Park Theater players. Hermine Shone and Glen An- ders have the chief acting parts. Some pretty moments in this series of episodes are almost spoiled by a flash of un- pardonable vulgarity, in the sudden in- troduction of a disrobing scene.

BERLIN, via London, Jan. 9.—The Boersen Zeitung, Berlin’s leading finan- cial organ, seizes upon the dinner given to Ambassador Gerard by the American Association of Commerce and Trade as an opportunity to discuss peace again, It declares that the banquet had un- usual importance and expresses almost enthusiasm at the cordial relation ex- isting between the United States and Germany, as it finds them in the ex- pressions of the speakers. The Saturday evening papers declare that Germany will welcome every sup- port America will lend to the. peace movement, “so long as it does not at- tempt to narrow or foil the acquisition of peace worthy of Germany and the efforts of her fighters.’ In its comment. on the dinner the Boersen Zeitung says that it is natural that Germany now looks differently up- on an America “which has recovered from what may be termed its carouse over its rich war gains than on an America which Germany vainly tried to arouse to a sympathetic understanding of her situation.” The paper warns Americans, however, that théy must not expect the German people to be deeply grateful for peace efforts which it says are actually in- spired by America’s own desires and needs for peace, Calls Speech Significant. After saying that the banquet itself was far more important than an or- dinary festivity, the Boersen Zeitung makes the following comment on the speech of Ambassador Gerard: “Sugh a speech at the present time is significant. We have always insisted that good relations between Germany and America were fmportant.

An ordinance providing a penalty of from $23 to $200. for selling or giving away intoxicating liquors within the city limits of Lebanon, Ill., a college town, was introduced last night in the City Council there, and by a vote of four to two was referred to the Ordin- ance Committee for consideration. Lebanon voted dry a year and nine months ago, while the surrounding towns remained wet; but within the past few weeks whiskey has been easily chbtained in two saloons——‘‘Hoppe”’ and Siegel’s—wpposite the Lebanon State Pank, of which H. C. Eisenmayer, Mayor of the town is cashier, and at TF rank Gartiser’s bar, opposite the Pfef- fer mill. Late in the afternoon a reporter found Gartiser’s doing a rushing business. Frank Gartiser himself sat at a table playing penuchle with two negroes while his wife dispensed “‘maltrine’ and whis- key to the mill laborers who had just quit work. “Everything's All Right.” “Aren’t you afraid that you will get in trouble selling whiskey like this?” she was asked by the reporter as she mopped the bar with a towel. “©, everything’s all right,’’ she ~ swered, as she nodded toward the U.

Mayor Eisenmayer, when asked about the saloon conditions § said: “Well, what of it? Where do I come in on that?’’ It was atin that, as the town was the seat of McKendree College and complaint had been voiced by many citizens, and as he had been elected on a dry platform and was a member of the official board of *he Methodist Church, it might be supposed that he would be interested in the énforcement of the law. Two bottles of whisky were shown to him. “I can’t do anything,” he said. ‘Let me explain. This town vwuted liquor out under a State law, but ther? is no munt- cipal ordinance providing a penalty for the sale of liquor. We tried to get one through the council tonight. It failed to pass. “IT can’t do anything. The county authorities won't do anything, and, if I start to, or the Marshal here, we have to take the money out of our own pockets to prosecute. We'll get the evidence for the State’s Attorney if he wants to prosecute. But why don’t you g0 to the Anti-Saloon League. They’ve got one here.” The Mayor was asked if it was true, as reported, that he was a customer of Siegel’s saloon. ‘I go into such places occasionally,” he sald, “but never to my knowledge have I tasted any intoxicants there.”’ Hubert Schaumleffel, State's Attorney at relleville, Ill, was asked about the situation. “It’s up to Lebanon,” he an- swered, “When they voted dry -18Y automatically put in force an ordinance making it a violation of city law to sell intoxicants.

To this fact the red-ball, three- cushion, pocket billiard and other subchampions of the cue world can attribute their retention of leader- ship in their respective branches. The firm which, to some extent dictates” Hoppe’s movements, prevents’ the wonderful cueist from entering any other championship cue competitions than balk-line. It is not certain that, even with the restriction lifted, Hoppe would enter the other title events. But if he did, as always contended in this column,there is reason to believe none of the present title holders could hold out against the blond marvel. Hoppe, in a measure, proved this last night when he beat the three- cushion record with a run of 15 in an exhibition against Peterson. Hoppe ran Out the game of 20 points in three shots.

Aside from some six or seven years’ ex- perience in the ring, Geyer is 6 feet % inch tall and weighs 200 pounds Geyer has been a pretty goo! heavyweight, and may be yet, but I hesitate to dwell upon his chances with Moran because of other boxers who have come here with good rec- ords, and then disappointed. Billy Papke, Carl Morris, “Gunboat” Smith, Frank Mantell, Johnny RMoward, Glen Croakley, Ad Wolgast, Jimmy Duffy and Hal Stewart, for Instance, and there were some others, too, For the time being,- praise will be reserved until some of the boxers show here and make good. Geyer has Sppeares against such well-known fighters as “Gunboat” Smith, Harry Wuest, Carl Morris, Frank: Moran, “Soldier” Kearns, George (‘‘Boer’’) Rodel, “One Round’ Davis, Jim Coffey, Joe Bonds and the only two who succeeded in stop- ping him. were Morris and Coffey. Geyer Has Met Good Ones. Moran was introduced and well re- ceived by local fans when he easily demonstrated how much better he was than Dan Ketchel three weeks ago. The bout had to be stopped in the fifth round when Ketchel ap- peared helpless and on the verge of a Knockout. Young Welsh and Battling Donohue will furnish the first preliminary, box- ing six rounds at 116 pounds, ringside.

Lewis won the first fall on a foul, Kervaras knee- ing Lewis and refusing to break a strangle hold on his opponent until the referee had called for police aid. Lewis picked Kervaras up in the gsec- one round after 28 seconds’ wrestling, held him high and threw him to the floor on his head. Kervaras was stunned and Lewis pinned his shoulders to the mat. Kervaras was unconscious for about 10 minutes. Ed N. Robinson Signs for His 13th Season as Brown Grid Coach PROVIDENCE, R. IL. Jan. 9.—Ed- ward N.

By W. J. REPRESENTATIVES of the St. Louis Country elub and other delegates at| O’Connor. large will, tomorrow night, attempt to revive ice hockey, a rugged and rather ruthless sport that has been lifeless locally for nine years. After weeks of practice these teams will essay their first game at the Winter Garden rink, starting at 8 o’clock and playing 20-minute halves with a ten- minute intermission. There hasn’t been an ice-hockey game in St. Louis since the winter of 1908-09, when the old rink on Cook avenue closed for Bing all Even then the brand of hockey played here was nowise of cham- pionship caliber. But harking back a few years more, we recall the famous World’s Fair team, an organization that was ranked right next to the cham- pionship seven of America. al of history, some of it written around the old * who flourished from 1901 to 1904. This team defeated the stars of St. Paul and Cleveland and was only beaten by the American champions of Portage Lake, Houghton, Mich. Kiely’s Death Broke Up Team. And it was following their last game with Portage that the local team met with misfortune, eventuating in its dis- solution. On the way ome from Houghton, Mich., Harry Kiely, popular- ly recognized as the greatest allround athlete St. Louis ever turned out, stopped off in Chicago to visit relatives. And he was one of the victims of the never-to-be-forgotten. Iroquois Theater fire, Dec. 30, 1903, when 556 persons lost their lives. After Mr. Kiely’s death the local hockey players gave up the game. Others on the team were Joe For- shaw, afterwards a marathon runner of international fame: Bob Le Cron, a successful dentist of London, who is now with the Red Cross in France; Will Tozer, a Dallplayer, still at it on the Coast; Cr. Billy Dillon, unsuccess- ful candidate for Coroner at the last election; Josh Lowis and Mal Houlan. That was a team far superior to any- thing that St. Louis hopes to develop this season; but it was a typical team of rugged local youths of former days. Ev- ery member of it was adept at other sports. Dillon, Le Cron and Kiely were expert football players, collegiate and soccer. The others were good on the cinder path and some of them rode a bicycle as fast as any but the top- — They all were allround ath- etes. College Players Enlist. The Country Club team which will op- pose the Ben Millers tomorrow evening in the opening game of the current sea- son is made up mostly of players who at Eastern colleges.

Those on the Millers who didn't play cently in Canada or Cleveland. The lat- ter team has genuine stars in Jack Del- linger, Joe Duncan and William Sulli- van. A vast majority of the yam tgp nena however, will be seeing their first game of hockey, and incidentally they will see it played under slight handicaps. In the first place the Winter Garden floor is a little too large for the regulation rink. Secondly, it is not equipped wi ‘“‘side-boards,” off which expert players can manipulate the carom shots. ow- ever, a few points on the game will not be amiss, if put in capsule form, to wit: The game is played with seven men on a team, with a vulcanized rubber puck, one inch thick throughout, three inches in diameter and weigh- ing not less than 76-16 and not more than 79-16 ounces. Goals at either end of the rink are built with a boxlike net between up- rights 4 feet high and 6 feet apart—to be placed at least 10 feet from the end of the ice. The play develops something after the fashion of soccer football, fouls being called when any member of the attacking side {s ahead of the puck. Also for unnecessary roughness. Likewise, whenever any player raises his stick over his head. If a player injured is unable to continue {n play after a reasonable _rest, the other side must drop one of its men to eq 6 fight. Penalties for rule infractions are to be imposed at the discretion of the referee, who can rule offending play- ers off the floor for any part or all the game. When fouls are called for off-side, usually because of players loafing in advance of the puck, as soccer forwards do inside the penalty area at times, play is arrested and re- sumed after the contending players have taken their normal positions, Three Teams in League. Tomorrow night's game will be the first of a series that will be played by teams representing the Country and Racquet clubs and the Millers A fourth team was sought, but the ma- terial was not available. Ice hockey is a rough game, more hazardous than any other American sport. In no other game are the par- ticipants so heavily armored. The goal- keeper, in hockey, wears armament con- sisting of shin-guards that reach far above his knees, a chest protector big- ger than any worn in baseball, a mask and large wood-ribbed gloves. Beneath his shin-guards he wears large felt pads. Players have been killed by a flying puck, especially goal keepers.

Fultz admitted yesterday afternoon that Slim Sallee and Bill Ritter are members of | the Baseball Players’ Fraternity and went against his wishes in signing new contracts with the New York club. He declined, however, to make a statement as to whether or not the players would be punished or expelled from the fra- ternity. ; “T am investigating the report that Sallee and Ritter have signed new con- tracts with the Gilants,” said Fults. “Both are members of the fraternity. Until I am positive that they have signed, I will not have anything to say on the subject.” “Did you make a statement some time ago to the effect that all members of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity had pledged themselves not to sign new con- tracts until the requests made to the national association were granted?’’ President Fultz was asked. “T stated that the majority of the members had go agreed, not all,’’ was his answer. He was then asked if efther Sallee or Ritter was among the players who pledged themselves, and he answered that Sallee was one of those who s80 agreed.

WORLD'S MOST NOTED WOMAN OMPOSER HERE Mrs. H. H. A. Beach to Play Own Piano Concerto With Symphony. By RICHARD L. STOKES. Mrs. H. H. A.

H. MM, ——— A. BEACH, her musical training was received en- tirely in the United States, and that in composition she is almost wholly self- taught. Severity of Her Task. It has been said that the’severest task possible to the intellect is the architec- her wagon to this star Mrs. Beach ‘un- ,dertook harder labor, with more prob- | lematical prospects of success, than did other women who have succeeded in the professions, such as law and medicine. Her triumph may be gauged by the fact that her works are played both in this country and abroad as masterpieces, ranked on their merits among the great Inasterpieces in the literature of sound. Many other women have worked in musical composition, but for the mest part they have produced small pieces, with an occasional symphony that sur- | vived only a few performances. On the other hand, Mrs. Beach’s “Gaelic” Sym- phony is performed at least once a year in America. The Philadelphia orchestra played it two years ago, and the Boston Symphony orchestra, which gave the work its premiere in 1900, is repeating it this year. In Leipsiec and Hamburg, about four ' Years ago, Mrs. Beach enjoyed the pro- digious distinction of having her Ssym- phony and concerto given on the same program, with herself as soloist. In Ber- lin she played the concerto with famous Philharmonic Orchestra of that city. She says that the Germans, though most kindly, made no attempt to conceal their amazement, first woman and second American woman, Tells of Her Career. At the Jefferson Hotel today Mrs. Beach, before going to a rehearsal with the orchestra, outlined some of the facts of her career. She was born 49 years ago and, like Pope, she lisped in num- bers, though the numbers were musical, not poetic. She told things of her pre- cocity as a child which she said she could scarcely believe herself if they were not thoroughly vouched for. She cannot remember when she could not play the piano and compose pieces. When she was a year old she could sing 40 tunes accurately, and before she was two could add a satisfactory alto to any tune she heard. Trained by her mother. an admirable pianist, at 6 she played the simpler Beethoven sonatas. At 7 she performed in two public concerts, |playing the Beethoven Sonata, Opus 49, a Chopin waltz and a piece of her own composition, called ‘““Mamma'‘s Waltz.”’ But her parents wisely refrained from forcing her talents as a child prodigy, and she did not play again in public un- til she was 16. At 17 she was soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Theodor2 Thomas Orchestra. At 18 she married Dr. H. H. A. Beach, a famous Boston surgeon, who died six ago. With her marriage she gave up a career as a professional pianist, though she Ccontin- ued to appear frequently with the Boston Orchestra and the Kneisel Quartet. In- stead, she devoted herself to composi- tion. With the exception of one year's istudy of harmony with an instructor, she mastered this science alone, industriously | studying orchestral scores by the ardu- ous means of copying them, and famil- iarizing herself with the orchestral in- struments one by one as she attended the Boston Orchestra concerts. Her first large work Was a mass, sung the Handel and Haydn Society of | Boston, when she was 25 vears old. For ‘the World's Fair at Chicago she was | oommubtbatoned to write a dedicatory ‘hymn for the woman's building, and her setting of the 100th Psalm was played ‘there by the Thomas Orchestra and sung ;by the Apollo Club of Chicago. : Two Chief Works Brought Out. afterward the Boston orchestra brought out her ‘“‘Gaelic’’ Symphony, and ‘in 1900 her Concerto in C-Sharp Minor. She also produced a piano quintet which played during one season in five besides , three performances of the work with an- other organization. Her sonata for vio- that she was a that she was an years | by Seon she = | lin and piano was first performed in Eu- whisky is an arduous one follewing both these roads, care and time, ie what makes Cascade distinctive.

Dealt what appeared to be a death blow by the parcels post, it took a fresh grip on life under prohibition, because intoxicants are unmailable. About two days before Christmas one could have seen in the St. Louis Union Station a pile of liquor express packages beside which the accumulation of parcels post stuff did not look to be missed. Never again! One could probably buy a good express company today for less than one could pick up a second-hand Ford. ‘‘Mr. Taft vetoed the Webb-Kenyon law, which has passed over his head.

After a seven weeks’ tour of personal inspec- tion throughout the length and breadth of the dual empire, Dr. Schloss, editor of the Zuger Postzeitung, publishes an appeal to the entire world to stop right now the “senseless war,’ as he designates it, lest the “beastly wretchedness will wupe out practically the whole population.”’ Starting from Feldkirch, in the Tyrol, which, he says, used to be the “hennery of Central Eu- rope, and where the Government has kiiled the goose that laid the golden egg by requisitioning and eating all the flocks of chickens around the base of the Arlberg,” he proceeded through the Archduchy of Austria, where “even horse and dog meat are luxuries, reserved only for well- stocked purses,” as he put it. A concise pen pic- ture of the conditions is drawn in the following quotation: Imagine me seated in a fine restaurant: for dinner with a half of a beet in one dish, two earrots in another, some green. stuff in a third (beet-tops I was told), and a tumbler of water before me. T offered much money for a cup of coffee, for a bit .f butter and for some kind of meat; but money would: not buy these. According to the editor, when food was get- ting ever scarcer, some imitation food, after the German pattern, compressed and dried vegetables, in the semblance of human food, to deceive the eye and the palate, was distributed; but even that gave out promptly. In the country some thrifty housewives had buried carrots, beets and other “edibles” in the summer and early autumn: but even that surreptitious supply is fast giving out, and winter at the door, with not even succulent grasses like thistles in sight. The writer found the population everywhere walk abut in a “dazed .

IN WHICH WE WERE NAPPING. R. W. Moore shipped a carload of goods hogs to St. Louis Monday. He went with the car.—From the Walnut Ridge (Ark:) Blade. Good example of one sentence too many.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Blade is at a loss to know which sentence the Post-Dispatch would have us to leave out. Condi- tions have changed in Arkansas. During the fazor- back regime it was not considered quite the thing to be caught in the company of a carload of hogs. But now that the blooded Berkshire, Duroc and Poland Chinas hold sway here and that the rest of the world fall over each other to get to pay top prices for them, it is considered a mark of distinction and fixes a man's social and financial standing at the banks to be caught in company with @ carload of Arkansas porkers.—The Blade. We are afraid The Blade has us. We have just looked at the market page. Wheat has gone to $2, corn to $1, and hogs to $10.50. It only goes to show how active is the spirit of change.

TREMENDOUS APPETITE a - Coming Sports Clothes MONG the advance. styles. an- A nounced for the coming summer is the coat of Bolivia cloth, in bright colors, worn with a plaited skirt of white or cream-color. One model, of raspberry-colored summer Bolivia cloth, is cut on military lines, with the skirt section of the coat made of four panels, each bound with white silk braid and trimmed’ with white pearl buttons and white silk buttonholes, a row of each at either side. Fastening at the left side, the upper part of the bodice sec- tion is somewhat double-breasted, all the edges are bound with white silk braid, and the back collar of white gabardine can be converted into a standing collar, if desired. . White satin lines the garment throughout. With it is worn a white gabardine skirt with slit pockets, fitted front and shirred back, and belted all around. Another suit, of ivory white sports silk, has a “full dress’’ effect at the front, with the right side of the coat coming across to the left, clasping with white pearl buttons from below the bust line. A belt, passing through slashes at either side, confines two back plaits and crosses in front as a nar- row tie sash. Especially attractive is the deep cuff border of self-material, turned up on the front of the coat only, and scalloped at the top, each point held with a white pearl button and the two end scallops forming pockets. The back of the coat is shorter than the front and is finished with two one-inch A novel touch is in- troduced by the over-collar of jade green satin, embroidered in gold, red and white silk floss. The skirts, of the same material as the coat, is simply belted with fancy scalloped tabs match- ing the bottom front of the coat, falling part way over the skirt. Copenhagen blue georgette satin is used for the coat of a combination model, the skirt being of a Copen- hagen and white domino-block sports silk. There is a high crushed girdle of satin on the skirt, fastening with white pearl buttons set with blue stone centers at the left side. Lined with a soft white silk, the coat is yoked, and the remainder of the garment is laid in narrow box plaits clesely set together with a quaint sash, encircling the figure twice and ending in a sling at the back. Inlays of the checked niaterial add in- terest to the collar and turn-back cuffs, and the same novelty buttons which trim the girdle of the skirt close the coat at the front. | Green Peas in Ambush. | EMOVE the wilted leaves from a large head of lettuce, carefully remove the hewrr {retain for salad) without cutting through the stalk.

It is made of a large cirele of net, finished with an elastic which clespes it snugly around the hair. Around the center of the crown, how- ever, about three or four inches from the outer edge, is sewn a full frill of the plain net. This frill hangs down. when the cap is snapped on, and gives a loose mushroom effect, although the tight cap beneath entirely conceals the hair.. The frill should. not be circled with a ribbon, but two or three tiny resebuds may be fastened beneath it, at | the left resitous~ o | Chinese Ornaments for Mil- linery HE present enthusiasm for oriental a y designs and colorings has led to the manufacture of some unusual ornaments to be introduced on the spring millinery. These ‘‘fancies’’ are made up of oriental beads, jade, quartz J] and Chinese money in odd combinations. One of them shows an orangé leather disk, with a design stenciled on it, and rimmed in a narrow silk fringe of blended colorings with four cameo beads placed around it, and a Chinese coin at the bottom, from which hangs a string of Chinese beads finished with a large jade pendant. A piece of passementerie embroidery in red, blue and green, on a black net background, is cut out in a triangular piece, with a finish of many gold-tipped pips across the top and two coins pen- dant from the bottom. It is finished with a rose quartz drop. Another ornament has a large pear- shaped tassel of caught-in ostrich hanz- ing from a string of large beads and coins. Again, a tassel of black and green uncurled ostrich is pendant from a jade ring, with a coin center held by gold cord. A cabochon of passementerie is outlined with coins and pendent, from this are three coins strung on double gold cords. A tiny rosette of dark blue pasted feathers has jade and coin pen- dants and a long tassel of mingled green and gold. All these ornaments are rich in tone and will add a bit of bright color to the trot-about hats, brought out for early spring and late winter wear. eens ppeomeeenaseapeneer men | For Neuralgia, Pleurisy, Lumbago, Sore Throat Mustarine Is Worth Its Weight‘ in Gold——Nothing Like Mustarine to Drive Out Cold in Chest, Deep Seated Coughs, Pleurisy. ee a ee —_— ml ati That hacking Cough, that Cold in the Chest. that terrible Headache or Back- ache will quickly disappear by just rub- Mustarine. on’'t worry about Sore Muscles, Lameness or , Mustarine orinee gor ful relief in just a few minutes. t’s better than any plaster, poultice, Jiniment or hot-water bottle.

The sober garments of winter are suddenly whisked away, or pushed into the shad- owy background, and out into their places flutter the spring muslins, the linens, and the piles of delicate Jingerie. A glimpse behind the scenes, before the rising of the spring curtain, has re- vealed a number of interesting new things that women will like. Among these is a line of sport blouses in col- ored linens. There are figured linens end checked ones, with roserand white, blue and white, and a delicate maize, as favorite shades. <All of them are strictly tailored, with mannish tucked fronts and broad white collars, and the cuffs, too, are tailored, many of them being made for link buttons. For women who object to the mussi- yess of linen, there are some attractive blouses in colored dimities. A few golf of course, too heavy to be worn except in the cool days of early spring. The linen is undoubtedly the smartest, even 'f it does wrinkle and crush easily. The linen and pique are combined in some uf these models. There is a very amus- ying blouse of pumpkin colored linen, with white pique collar and cuffs. A b’ouse that makes one stop instinctively is one of white handkerchief linen crossed with fine blue threads. Practically every blouse has a touch of handwork on it somewhere, elther in French embroidery, eyelet work or cut work, or a combination of these. In spite of the mannish sport models, the tendency is toward extreme daintiterize most of the coming summer dresses. There are fine pin tucks, bits of hand stitchery, and touches of Mexican drawn work. The picot edge figures largely. Frilly bows and jabots seem to be returning. to favor, too—in fact, flutteriness and airiness characterizes most of the coming summer wear. The shops seem suddenly to have sprouted wings.

At daylight he will be sirot.”’ The examination was over, the sen- tence pronounced, and all in three min- utes. Another case was called. Time these days was more precious than mere life. In an hour 10 men were condemned to be ghot, three were imprisoned, one ban- ished and a dozen or so released with gicri rebuke and caution. That done, the Judge, who was also the Colonel, found time to select, instruct and send forth more spies. Then she came. She was a mere slip of a girl, but with big, steady. glowing eyes that bespoke s@nething greater than years or size. The Judge-Colonel saw her through the corners of his eyes and scowled, ‘aiid Went on with his writing. He did not allow women to visit the camp. Someone was to blame for letting her pass the guard, or giving her the coun- tersign. Someone must be punished. ‘Col. Breskly!”’ ‘The scowl darkened, but the eyes did turn. _ "Col. Breskly!'’ The voice became sud- sharp and peremptory. ‘I must with you, sir!’’ he scowling face whirled threaten- ingly. “"What are you here for? They had no right to let you pass. I gave positive orders. I shall”’— “lt am Hesba Caltyx.” “T Gon’t care who you are,” snapped the Colonel. ‘‘You are here to cry about one of the condemned men, and to be for hig life. I know. But it’s no use, I tell you. The man has been condemned justiy, whoever he is, and must suffer. Tt’ ?s* necessary to military discipline. Now go.” “Tam here against camp orders, true,” “The first sentry raised his gun, but I folded my arms and looked him tn the face and spoke his name, and he was too much of a man to shoot. ‘Then he tried to stop me, as I darted past, And it was the same with the othér guard. Besides, they both knew me. They were graduates of our col- lege.. But when you say my promised husband, Janer Beret, has been con- @emned justly, it is false. There ia no * truer or more patriotic man than he. I know this, and I have come to ask his Yife."’ The Colonel. laughed outright, and turned back to his papers. “Bentence has been passed,” he said Driefiy, ‘“‘and he dies at daylight. I am sorry, of course, but it is army disci- pline and must not be relaxed. Janer failed to do the work I ordered. lives, the next man may fall in he aj . the game way. Routine, discipline, even guccess, depends upon’’— “Not Janer Beret's death,’ interrupt- ed- the girl boldly. ‘I don’t know the duty assigned him, nor how he fulfilled it, but I do know the man. Janer did the work the best he knew how—bet- ter than any other man could—and if he did it any different from what you ordered, it was because doing it differ- ent was best.’’ "The Colonel took not the least notice. “I am Hesba Caltyx,” the gir! repeat- od, “somtimes called ‘the daughter of Pauit University.’ My father, * Prof. Caltyx, was its president. Quite a num- ber of your men were students there That was why I was able to enter your camp. Word came to me very quickly that Janer had been condemned, and I started just as socn as the word reached me.” - ‘The Colonel did not speak, though his ‘slightly changed expression showed that _ he heard. “Tl want his life because your condem- ‘nation of it was unjust. You must give we @ paper of innocence and release, as that would be right. And—and I would ‘rather you do it willingly." She waited a few moments, then: “Your ‘son, Huger, was a student at Pault University. He is a brilliant and vising man now, and already a Captain In the army.” _ Another wait, then, sternly and relent- ne al “Your son got into trouble at the uni- VYersity—disgraceful trouble—and_ the ‘proof of it fell into my father’s hands. ‘He saw good in the boy, and gave him ‘Rndther chance, for he felt that dis- closure would ruin what might other- wise be a noble and helpful life.

But all was peaceful and pleasant. At least 80 thought Sammy. The boy was busy thinking about his school duties. He hated study and Joved to play truant, or go riding on anoth- er lad's motor which he has snatched from before a door. What was the sense in studying and behaving when to mis- behave was so much more fun, he thought. He leaned back against the tree to watch the clouds sailing by like ships across the sea. | “Tis is just the weather to steal | Sammy’s Shadow. Mr. Forb’s riding horse for a short run,’ said Sammy, aloud. “I can catch him down in the pasture, ride around for an hour, then let him go back home alone.” As Sam started off running he noticed that before him was a huge, black shadow. It was his exact image, only so much larger and so black that he felt uncomfortable tn running with this thing keeping pace with his flight. When he leaped the stream, when he climbed the fence, it was still before him, and now it seemed growing larger each moment. ‘Gee whiz,’’ exclaimed Sammy, stop- ping out of breath, “if you are my shadow behaving that way. please let me alone. You must be tired.’’ “Yes, | am your shadow,” came a Sree ei Rae Sb a (an AO eRe te Sh ST 8 eae ee hea PI 2 US Ga cane she answered | ‘My father was not that kind }: queer, shrill voice at his feet. ‘“‘But as long as you are bent on wrong I will go thus before you.”’ “‘Ho, ho!”’ laughed Sammy. ‘So that is your game; you think to scare me, but not much, old friend. I can stand it if you can.” So Sam set out running again. But still this shadow came just in front, over stones and _ stream. Gradually it seemed to grow so large that it was as if the sun was being shut out alto- gether. The sky seemed to grow dim and the wind sing mournfully through the pines. The air felt damp and chill in spite of the fact that it was April. Sammy turned to run in another di- rection and thought to thus throw his shadow off the trail. But this scheme failed. Right before his nose it stalked, no longer on the ground, but now tak- ing the substantial form of'’a dark fig- ure that walked by his side... It loomed bigger and thicker and thicker till it seemed to the boy that it filled the air. “You can’t escape me by running away,’ piped the shadow in his ear. “For everywhere you go you take me with you. I am the shadow of your conscience. Instead of haunting you after a wrong I have undertaken to come beforehand and save you. When you are starting on an evil errand you see I show you plainly the truth about the matter—this is to save you the after regrets.”’ Sammy sat down on a rock to think. What if this shado® of his conscience kept in thia business all his life? How could he pass his years with the horror of this black cloud dogging his steps? It would make’ life a burden: he would never dare to go home or to school with such a companion. What on earth was he to do to get rid of this awful visitor? “Well, shadow, tremble in his voice, said Sammy with a “I give up-—you | have me beaten to a finish. I confess I don’t strike your looks nor your company, and to be honest, just what I want most is to get rid of you easily and quickly.” “That is with you,” replied the shadow. ‘I am only to accompany you when you are going wrong. Do what you know is right and your conscience will cast no shadow on your path. Re- solve to do your duty, to give up evil Vays, and I will vanish forever.’’ “Tf that’s the way,’ laughed Sammy in delight, “you can just bet I will send you about your business. Still, I ought to thank you for your interest in me. But I can assure you that in future I will nave no need of your presence. ’ He noticed that the shadow begun to shrink and shrivel. The wind rose, the sun came out and the birds commenced to sing. He looked around, and when ne glanced back the shadow was gone. Suddenly he felt a cold. chill—then awoke to find himself struggling in the water, for he had fallen off the bank and was in the stream “floundering about. “Well, that was a fine dream any- way,” he said to himself with satisfac- tion. “I guess if I were to steal rides my conscience would shadow me with dark remorse and I will take the advice of this dream shadow. I am thankful I dozed, for it will save many unpleas- ant things in my after life, T know, if I first think of what my shadow will think of the act."
