TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 25.—A plan to double the duration of minimum sentences but let the convict spend six months, of each year at home earning the living of his family, 18 advocated by Warden J. K. Codding of the Kansas Penitentiary. He will ask Gov. Arthur Capper to authorize the experiment and says no addi- tional expense is necessary. “We are trying to reform prison- ers,” said the Warden, “and the way to do that is to give them 4 chance. It doesn’t tend to reform a man to drag him from his home for a year or two. Asa rule the home is broken and the prigoner loses what little property he has. “My suggestion is to let him work at his trade or on his land in the summer until he has laid by enough for his family’s support during the winter. Then take him back to the penitentiary until spring. The pris- WITH PLAYER OVER INTERVIEW “Your Always Playing Plitics,“ Comptroller’s Retort to Kiel. MEET AT BOARD SESSION Mayor Asks Reason for Attack; Player Says City Is Going Toward Bankruptcy. Mayor Kiel and Comptroll Player, meeting today at a session of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, en- Saged in a personal debate over the interview given by Player yesterday afternoon attacking the Kiel adminis- tration. In that interview Player commented on the fact, shown by data accompany- ing the “Tub” Becker story, printed ex- Clusively in the oPst-Dispatch, that 8 Republican City Committeemen are drawing pay from the city treasury, a total of $60,750 a year. He said condi- tions in the city government are worse now than they have been since the administration of Cyrus P. Walbridge, who is now heading the movement for Kiel’s re-election. He also said, in the interivew, that the Mayor's claim of having fulfilled 17 out of 18 pledges in his platform of four years ago was pure bunk.’ He said Kiel had failed to keep his promise to inaugurate efficiency and economy, and that he was building up a machine of Republican job holders which, if the Legislature should give St. Louis home rule, would dominate the State as well as the city. The Mayor, being a few minutes late in entering the meeting of the Board of Estimate, remarked to Player, “Don’t scold me, please. I've been out playing a little politics.” Player replied, “You’re always doing that. Asks Player About Interview. The Mayor then demanded why reads for 'Ihelr Serviec——Case to Be Taken Up. Members of the Bridge Commission to be appointed under a bill now pending in the Board of Aldermen will have for their first task the regulation of charges made by transfer companies for trans- porting. freight to and from East St. Louis to make or complete deliveries for rallroads. President Kinsey of the Board of Public Service has learned that sev- eral transfer companies are using the free bridge instead of Eads Bridge. These concerns receive 2 cents a hun- dred for their services. President Kinsey says the adoption of some method of preventing the transfer companies from collecting this drayage on freight coming over the free bridge is a difficult problem. These companies are recognized by the Interstate Com- merce Commission as common carriers when acting for railroads to make inter- state shipments. $4087 INCOME TAX LIEN ON Murderer of Mrs. Margaret Bled- left behind by the slayer, are thus far MRS, ANNA A.

BERLIN, Jan. 24, via London, Jan. . —The Berlin papers discuss President Wilson’s speech at great length, with approval from many sides of its high ideals and aims, but with doubts as to whether it will lead to practical results. Some of the papers, maintaining the at- titude they long adopted, persist in not- ing an anti-German tone and favoritism for the entent in his speech. Some of ideal of peace without victory is in di- them point out that President Wilson's rect conflict with the plans of conquest outlined in the entente’s recent reply to the United States. Peace without victory, however, is not wholly rejected. Moderate organs like the Tageblatt and Vorwaerts strongly indorse it. The conservative newspapers demand German victory, and papers like the Vocsiche Zeitung and Morgen Post claim that nnn is already the vic- The Tageblatt concludes by saying that every intelligent man in Germany who desires a permanent and assured peace can subscribe to most of President Wil- son's principles. The Vorwaerts says that President Wilson’s outline of the principles of fu- ture peace are as possible of discussion by the central Powers as the entente’s war aims are impossible, as, it says, the entente is striving for the exact opposite of peace without victory, and without humiliation. The Morgen Post adopts a critical at- titude, concluding its article: “We and our allies did what we copld to open the path for a return of peace to the world, but the enemy did what he could to interpose a barrier. Now we must remove the obstacles with the sword. When these are removed it will be time to talk peace ideas with Presl- tor. dent Wilson, but not before.“ . Reference te Poland. The President’s reference to Poland calls for the answer that the central, Powers have done more for the inde- pendence of the Poles than ever has been done before, but that President Wilson’s demand for a united Poland cannot be realized if it means the sep- aration of the province of Posen and other Polish sections of Prussia, for this would involve the subjection of mil- lions of Germans to the rule of the Poles, which would be unthinkable. The suggestion that all nations should be given access to the seas is generally understood here as favoring the open- ing of the Dardanelles to Russia. It is, however, asked whether the President means to demand the neutralization of the Srtaight of Gibralta an dthe Suez and Panama canals. The papers gener- Declaration of London. ally point out that the President's sug- gestion of freedom of the seas is also the German demand, but Count von Reventlow, in the Tages Zeitung, ad- mits that freedom of the seas already exists in peace times. x Mr. Wilson's ideas regarding perma- nent organization to preserve peace are discussed from various standpoints, but for the most part in an attitude of doubt. The Kreuz Zeitung cites Von Moltke’s famous declaration that eter- nal peace is only a dream and not even a beautiful one. First Impression. The first impression made by President Wilson’s speech before the Senate, as reflected in newspaper editorials, is not an unfriendly one, although the Presi- dent is regardeé as having brought up certain points which the central Powers find it impossible to concede. The Tuesday night editions of the Lo- kal Anzeiger and the National Zeitung, the former of which has repeatedly shown a most friendly attitude toward everything American, saw in the entire Wilson move impractical idealism and characterized the President ag an an- mated theorist.”’ The speech is called a philosophical-theological work com- posed of beautiful words which are im- The Kreuz Zeitung pays honor to Pres- ident Wilson’s “idealism’’ and says: “Most of his, principles correspond en- tirely with the tendencies of the policy which we have hitherto pursued and want to continue to pursue, whereas they are sharply antagonistic to the pol- icy of our enemies.“ It concludes: “All three of President Wilson's final pro- posals strike the English world empire, not Germany. May he succeed in real- izing his plans.“ “Partiality to Entente.“ Count Reventlow, in the Tages Zeit- ung, reproaches President Wilson for what it terms ostensible sins of omis- sion at an earlier date which make difficult the realization of his present hope, such as failing to hold Great Brit- ain to the principles of the Peace with- out victory, the writer says, would spell ruin for Germany, and.the real- ization of President Wilson's principle generally would eliminate Germany and her allies as factors of power and cut their life nerves. The speech of the President, says Count Reventlow, shows the same partiality for the entente which has always been shown since the war began. Die Post finds a papal style’ in the speech, and says: President Wilson more than ever before regards himself politically and morally called to be the judge of the peoples of the earth.“ The editor declines to discuss in de- tail the political romanticism’ of the speech, which te regards as little in harmony with the iast American naval bill, which, h says, was the largest in the history of the world. He adds that the Government must give an emphatic negative to any American attempt to interfere in Eurcepean affairs. The Taegiische Rundschau thinks the entente more obligated to reckon with President Wilson's principle for reor- ganizing the world than the central Powers, for, it says, the latter declared themselves willing to sit at the table and discuss terms of peace and condi- tions for the permanent status of Eu- SL ETE AER OE LS NEE ORME Set eS mee II MUST WIN fort is meaning in them.

Against this state- President Wilson's note and the sup- plemen communication of Foreign Secretary Balfour, ins which they say the entente plainly shows that it aims at the dismemberment of Austria and Turkey and the detachment of certain parts of Germany. Tageblatt Approves. The Tageblatt approves entirely Presi. dent Wilson's position that there should be no annexation without the consent of the peoples annexed, but it asserts that Russia would not be content with the neutralization of the Dardanelles because it has already been expressly agreed among the entente statesmen that Constantinople must be Russianized. — — em ee — — — — — — — — — PIMPLY?

The} Germans made us what they have called an offer of peace. It received from the allied Governments the reply which it deserved—the only possible reply. “Most of you have, however, I pre- sume, read the speech by President Wil- son, which appeared in yesterday's pa- pers. It is a frank speech, and it is right that any member of the allied Governments who refers to it should speak with equal frankness. It is im- possible that he and we can look on it from the same point of view. “The head of a great neutral, what- ever his private views may be—and I know as little as any of you what they; are—must adopt a neutral attitude. America is very far removed from the horrors of this war. We are in the midst of them. America is neutral; we are not neutral. We believe that the essence of this conflict is a question which is as old as time—the difference between right and wrong. We believe, we know, that this war is a war of naked aggression, that crimes which have accompanici the conduct of the war, which have been unknown in the world for centuries, are small in com- parison with the initial crime of plung- ing the worid into war by cold-blooded calculation because thgse responsible thought it would pay. me President Wilson’s Aim. President Wilson’s speech had this aim—to gain peace now and secure peace for the future. That is our aim, and our only aim. He hoped to secure this by a league of peace, and he not only spoke in favor of such a league, but he is try- ing to induce the American Senate to take the steps necessary to give effect to it. It would not be right to regard this proposal as something altogether Utopian. Fou know that almost up to our own day duelling continued, and just as the settling of private disputes by the sword has now become unthinkable, so, I think we may bope that the time will come when all the nations of the world wil play the part which Cromwell described as his life work—to act as constable and keep peace. That time will come I hope. “But this whole subject is not an ab- stract question for the future. It is a question of life and death now. In judging whether that result can be se- cured by this method, it is impossible for us to forget the past. For genera- tions humane men, men of good will among all nations, have striven by The Hague Convention, by peace conferences and by all other means to make war impossible, or at least to mitigate the herrors of war. When war comes, by what means can these barriers built up against barbarism be made effective? They cannot be preserved by the bel- ligerents if any of them choose to ignore them. It is only from neutral states that effective sanction can be given to them. Barriers Swept Aside. ‘What happened? At the very out- break of the war the Germans swept aside every one of these barriers. They tore up treaties which they themselves solemnly signed. They strewed mines in the open sea. They committed every atrocity on sea and land against The Hague convention, which they had themselves signed. They made war on women and children. They destroyed neutrals as ruthlessly as they did their enemies. They are at this moment driv- ing the population of conquered terri- tories into slavery, and, worse even than that, they are making some of the sub- jects of their enemies take up arms against their own country. “All this has been done, and no neu- tral Power has been able to stop it. No neutral Power, indeed, has made any protest against it. We must then take other means to secure the future of the peace of the world. “We have rejected the German offer to enter into negotiations, not from lust of conquest or desire for shining victories. We have rejected it, not from a spirit of vindictiveness or a desire for revenge, but because peace now would mean a peace based on victory. It would be a peace which would leave the military machine un- broken, with the halo of success sur- rounding it. It would leave the con- trol of that machine in the hands of the same men who for a generation prepared for war, who would make the same preparation again and who would chose their own time to plunge the world into the horrors which we are now enduring. “Our aim is the same as spam. Wilson's. What he is longing f are fighting for. Our sons and b — ers are risking their lives for it, and we mean to secure it. The hearts of the peopel of this country are longing for peace; we are praying for peace, for a peace which will bring back to us in safety those who are fighting our battles, and a peace which will mean that those who will not come back have not laid down their lives in vain.” Employe Given Bold Badge.

F. Jones to Place. H. D. THOMPSON WILL AID Hay and the Rev. E. T. Clark Resign Trusteeships — Old Guard's Promises Doubted. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. %.—Sus- picion of old guard promises is in some degree responsible for a decision reached at a secret meeting Tuesday night of the board of trustees of the Missouri Anti-Saloon League for a complete change in plans for promoting dry leg- islation at this session of the Legisia- ture. The trustees voted that Charles M. Hay, a St. Louis lawyer who has been .considered the dry leader of the State, should be withdrawn from the legislative field. Then Hay and Rev. Elmer T. Clark of St. Louis, and sev- eral whose names have not been made public, resigned as trustees of the league. At the beginning of the session of the Legislature the Anti-saloon League sent the Rev. Mr. Shupp and E. F. Jones, superintendent of the leagte, to Jefferson City to look after the dry in- terests. They tried to control the or- ganization of -the Senate and lost the fight, causing considerable bitterness among members of the Legislature. Sev- eral dry legislators said no outsiders should attempt to dictate the organiza- tion of either house of the Legisiature. Appointment of Hay Made. Jones is a Republican and many Dem- ocratic members considered it bad pol- icy te send a Republican to influence a Legislature a majority of the members of which are Democrats. The Rev. Mr. Shupp and Jones were recalled and the St. Louis headquarters of the league an- nounced Hay would mags frequert trips to Jefferson City, and be in control of the dry interests. Then it became ‘nown in Jefferson City that old guard members, who al- ways have been opponents to Anti- saloon League movements, had agreed that the three bills on which the drys 4 had centered their attention should pass both houses. These bills provide for the submission of the prohibition amend- ment, for the right to contest a prohibi- tion election and for permission to have watchers and challengers in the polling places. 1 0 When the board of ee consist - ing of 80 persons, met here Tuesday night, Jones, who for many years has been active in politics as a dry worker. was prepared to fight for his place as legislative representative of the league. Just what took place within the meet- ing has not been disclosed, but it is known the Hay trustees and the Jones trustees lined up quickly and that there was a sharp contest in which the Hay members said it never would do for Jones, a Republican, to be in charge of the legislative work of the league, while the Jones members came back with a proposition that Jones, a Republican, and H. D. Thompson of La Belle, a Democrat, should be in charge of the work in Jefferson City. Suspicious of Old Guard. The Jones men also are said to have advanced the argument that Hay is in- terested in Democratic politics and that the old guard promise to permit the desired legislation could not be relied upon. They are said to have contend- ed Hay could not devote all of his time to the ‘work in Jefferson City and that the situation demanded that men be on the job all the time to watch ths progress of the bills. The Hay members were defeated in their fight to retain him in control of affairs and the resignations followed The Rev. Dr. Clark admitted to the Post-Dispatch correspondent that he and Hay had resigned from the board of trustees. He denied, however, that there wat friction in the ranks of the drys, and said the resignations were due to numerous other duties he and Hay had While Jones and Thompson will rep- resent the Anti-Saloon League, the ad- visory council of the dry forces of the State, which represents the nw. GC. Ge the Prohibition party, -the Anti-Saloon League and other dry organizations are planning to select a man to represent it. A member said this man, when se- lected, would ‘‘co-operate with Jones and Thompson.”’ MAN CAUGHT LEAVING HOTEL WITH GUEST’S APPAREL Intruder Had Grip Full ef Articles Which Woman Later Identified as Hers. Several women guests, chatting to- gether in a room at the Beers Hotel to- day, were interrupted by a shabbily dressed man, who entered and hastily apologized, saying he was delivering a message and had blundered into the wrong room. After he backed out, one ot the women telephoned to the man- ager. He called a policeman, who began searching the hotel for the intruder, While he was hunting over the roof, a clerk seised a man emerging from a room occupied by a woman guest, who was downtown. He had a grip, con- taining silk shirtwaists, a skirt, a dress, a coat and a pair of shoes, which the guest, Mrs. Ellen Whitfield Newell, aft- erwards identified as hers. At the Laclede Avenue Police Station the man said he was William Meyers, nei at Sixth and Market streets. Meyers refused to answer questions about the theft. i Milk Chocolate Divinity, «rench Nougat, Chocolate Peanut Butterscotch, 2 — — “rene Mecsas | BY THE EMPEROR Action Obtained: by Premier Terauchi to Prevent Adverse Vote as to His Ministry. TOKJO, Japan, Jan. 2%.—The Emperor hag dissolved the House of Representa- tives. By the drastic step of obtaining the dissolution of the House, Premier Ter- auchi dramatically ended its existence before an opportunity was given for a vote on lack of confidence in the Min- istry. Following the excitement caused by an attempt to assassinate Yukio Ozaki, leader of the Constitutional party and former Minister of Justice, who had a narrow escape, the lower House was packed with spectators and the session was a tumultous one. Takeshi Inukai, leader of the Kokuminto (national) par- ty, led the attack on the Ministry, ac- cusing it of being unconstitutional. Con- fronted with the certainty of an adverse vote, Premier Terauchi said the sit- uation involved the prosperity of the em- pire and declared that while he main- tained the confidence of Emperor Yoshi- hito, he could not accept the verdict of the House. Ozaki mounted the rostrum to con- tinue attacks on the.Government, when an imperial messenger suddenly ap- peared with the rescript of dissolution. The members of the House dispersed in an uproar. Elections to the new House of Rep- resentatives probably will be held jn April or May. There are indications that, in view of the criticism of a non- party Ministry, Premier Terauchi will throw his forces to the Seiyu-Kai (con- stitutional) phrty. which is said to fa- vor the new China policy outlined by Premier Terauchi and Foreign Minister | Motono. The attempt to assassinate Ozaki was made when he was addressing a mass meeting called to demand the resignation of the Cabinet. Two men armed with short swords sprang on the platform and tried to stab Ozaki. They were over- powered and arrested. Two other men then tried to assault the former Min- ister and were badly beaten by the au- dience. ARTISTS SUED FOR PRICE OF PICTURES GIVEN TO GALLERIES NEW YORK, Jan. %.—Leading Ameri- can painters, including Childe Hassam, are defendants in suits brought for pur- chase money paid to tnem by William T. Evans, who was once president of the dry goods firm of Mills & Gibbs. The firm is in receiver’s hands and the pictures were paid for by him with checks drawn on the company. The artists, it is said, were not aware of any irregularity. Evans, it ig said, was accustomed to pay personal bills with checks drawn on Mills & Gibbs. Having overdrawn his account, he was considered as c wing the firm money. The firm’s claims were sold at auction, so that the plaintiffs in the present litigation are assignees of Mills & Gibbs. Evans’ purchases vegan in 1900 and some of the art works were presented to the national gallery at Washington, the Brooklyn Museum and to various cities and towns. It is asserted sev- eral of the institutions will refuse to surrender the paintings. COLD STORAGE IS A PRICE EQUALIZER, WOMEN ARE TOLD Members of the Women’s Economy League were told at the Public Library yesterday by William G. Miller, a cold Storage man, that cold storage was a price equalizer and would keep down the cost of living if the people did not Knock! it so much and demand fresh fruits and vegetables. Miller discussed The Relation of Cold Storage to the Price of Food Commodi- tles.“ Commodities, he explained, were bought in season when cheap and coud be sold out of season for less than s0- called fresh products shipped from Call- fornia and Florida, and were just as fresh and pure as the shipped products. When he was a boy, Miller said, eggs sold for three cents a dozen in summer and could not be bought in winter. The Chicago egg king,“ he said, who has had millions of eggs stored away, would soon meet his Waterloo. The St. Louis market suffers, Miller said, by heavy shipments to New York of both fresh and cold storage products, for better prices. .

Tt SUT ARANST HER Two of Them to Phau a Woman Lawyer, Told About Coat for Bulldog. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MENOMINEE, Mich., Jan. %.—The story of how Tokio, a bulldog owned by the Baroness May Van Pallandt Van : Erde, got a coat to protect it against the cold of a Michigan winter, is told in let- ters introduced in the trial of the $100,009 suit against the Baroness here. Miss Frank Gray Shaver, woman iaw- yer and former intimate friend of the Baroness, who is the plaintiff in the case, was still on the stand on dirsct examination at the end of yesterday's court session. “Tokio” Gets His Coat. In the course of her testimony several letters from the Baroness to her were read and it was in one of these that the mention of Tokio’s winter coat brought hearty laughter from the crowded court- room and the Baroness ene as heartily as anyone. “I want Tokio to have a coat, be- cause the weather ts very cold up there and I want him to go out for exercise, the Baroness wrote Miss Shaver. Evi- dently Tokio got his coat, for the next letter said: “I am glad Tokio got his coat and fur collar.“ The examination of Miss Shaver was limited almost .entirely to questions on letters which passed between the Ba- roness and herself. Every letter sub- mitted was looked over first by the attorney for the defense and then by Judge Flannigan before questioning of Miss Shaver was permitted. Miss, Shaver told of several dinner parties with the Baroness after the rec- onciliation in 1912, in which much men- a. was made of things to drink. „Drink, Drink, All the Time.” It was “drink, drink, all the time,“ said Miss Shaver, in response to a ques- tion as to what took place at the din- ner party. Continuing, she said: “From the time I split up with the Baroness in 1903 until we became recon- ciled in 1912, I did not touch a drop of intoxicating liquor.“ The Baroness, handsomely gowned, sat is court and listened attentively as her former friend related the few de- tails of their intimacy that cropped up in Wednesday’s testimony. Judge Flannigan has ruled that so far in the case, the plaintiff had failed to establish any evidence of conspiracy between the Baroness and Jean Dugas, her brother, thus barring for the pres- ent any reference to the one-time en- gagement of Miss Shaver and Jean, which is cited in the complaint and other transactions in which Jean’s name was mentioned. In the preliminary outline of the case to the jury A. L. Sawyer, attorney for the plaintiff, pictured the Baroness as finding in Miss Shaver, a daughter of rich parents, who did not know the real value of money, an easy prey to the Ba- roness’ scheme to separate her from her money. Right to Reccipts Disputed. The Baroness asserts she has receipts in full as proof that she paid back all the money she ever obtained from Miss Shaver, while her former friend con- tends that these receipts were acquired by deceit on the part of the Baroness. There is muchgspeculation here wheth- er evidence regarding the Baroness’ past, which aroused so much discussion in a suit in which she was involved in London, will enter as a factor in this case. Attorneys for the plaintiff are said to be hopeful that this will be ad- mitted: Busy Bee Candy Special Friday Milk Chocolate Divinity, French Nougat, Cyvocolate Peanut Butterscotch, We Ib.

Division No. 11 of the Circuit Court. This case arose from Johnson’s find- ing Barnes in his home June 24 last and turning him over to the police. Barnes, who was not expected to testify in his defense, elected to take the stand when court convened this morning. At the conclusion of his testimony the attorneys began their arguments, and it was expected the case would go to the jury during the afternoon. Barnes is 80 years old and lives at 1426 Biddle street, John- son, who was 29, died at the city hos- pital a few hours after he was wounded. Several State witnesses yesterday testified they heard Johnson declare shorly before his death, “The man I had arrested last summer for robbing my house is the man who shot me.” Persons who said they heard this statement were John W. Brewer and Mrs. Daisy Brewer of 3649A Garfield avenue; Johnson’s widow, Mrs. Augusta Johnson, and Fred Brane of 3733 St. Fer- dinand street, all of whom went to the city hospital soon after the shooting. The Brewers and Brane testified that when Mrs. Johnson was out of the room Johnson said to them that his wife would soon be a widow and he wished them to witness that he wanted her to have his property. This was relied upon by the State to show that John- son’s words were a dying declaration, and upon this ground Judge Rassieur ruled they were admissible as evidence, over the objection of the attorneys for the defense. The defense aitempted to establish an alibi for Barnes. John Shender, a team- ster, testified that Barnes spent the night with him in his room at 4208 Easton avenue. Mrs. Walter Black, the landlady, said she played cards in her home with Barnes, SHender and Mrs. Nora Katz, from 9 o’clock the night of Oct. 23 until 12:30 a. m., 10 minutes earlier than the shooting took place, and that Barnes retired at 1 o’clock with Shend- er without having left the house. Two patrolmen testified that when they found Johnson lying wounded on the sidewalk hé told them he thought Barnes shot him; but was not sure, as the man ran up from behind. WOMAN AND DAUGHTER AND Third Car Driven Into Tree to Avoid Autos in Crash Wrecked and Driver Hurt. An electric coupe driven by Miss Mar- garet Jones, 18, of 5450 Delmar boule- vard, was struck last evening at Lindell boulevard and De Baliviere avenue by the automobile of Robert Cooney, a contractor, 6258 Arundel place. Miss Jones and her mother, Mrs. Paul Jones, were cut about the face and head. Cooney was cut on the forehead. Alfred Stengel, 65203 Alaska avenue, who was driving an automobile behind the Cooney car, to avoid the collision, steered his machine into a tree and wrecked it. He was cut about the face. Cooney was arrested on charges of care- iessness and not naving his lights burn- ing. 400 IN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS Cost of Operation Last Year Was $9063.

Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Jan. 12.—When Henry Ham- ton was about 14 years old he stole 10 cents. From that moment, as the story was revealed here in court, honest achievement promised disgrace a6 its only reward, Hamilton is a young man of consider- ableeability and an unceasing yearning to raise himself above his fellows. For his theft he was given three years in prison. When he stepped out to free- dom he was not a penitent youth. His three years behind bars had taught him nothing except that the next time he should be more skilful in his efforts. Again he fell and landed in prison. Lib- erated, he once more stumbled into criminality and was put behind the bars. In 1913 he was released on license, Promotion Mean Exposure. From these bitter experiences Hamil- ton had learned that crime did not pay. So, turned out of prison, he went to sea. A little more than a year later, when England entered the war, he enlisted in the navy and was assigned to the dread- nought Dauntless. He gave his mind and his activities to his work. His su- periors soon remarked his ability and performance. One day Hamilton was called before his commanding officer and told that he was to be promoted. A sickly smile curved Hamilton's Ups and into his eyes came a strange light or fear. The officer imagined Hamilton felt himself incapable of assuming higher rank. But Hamilton knew what promo- tion meant to him. He knew that his life would have to be laid bare in mak- ing up the record on which his supe- riors would judge his qualifications for elevation. He knew that his terms in prison would not only bar him from higher rank, but would expose him to shame. In the place he then held he was regarded highly; his penal servi- tude could not take that away. But he could not remain where he was; so jhe deserted. Tried the Army Next. But other men were serving their country and his country. In his heart and mind patriotism still blazed, and, confident that in another line of mili- tary activity he would be permitted to make his way without the dread of ad- vancement, he enlisted in the army. Here he so quickly mastered the details of the routine and showed such an apti- tude for command and ability to think quickly in emergencies, that the Colo- nel of his regiment, remarking the progress of the enlisted man through the various noncommissioned grades, picked him out for promotion to a sec- ond lieutenancy. This rank was qualified by the word temporary.“ He per- formed his duties so excellently that, following campaigns in Salonica and Alexandria, he was detailed to the gen- eral headquarters staff in Egypt. Here a new peril confronted Hamilton. His pay was about $1 a day and the mess charge for an officer was $1.78 a day. He was not in the position of most other officers, with incomes. As a non- commissioned officer he received his food free. The circumstances seemed to him to demand that he quit his higher duties. He asked his commanding of- ficer to relieve him of this. “That cannot be done,’ he was told. Fou are too valuable to us here.“ Once more the only safe avenue ap- peared to lie along the enurse he had pursued before—desertion. It was not his intention to withdraw from the serv- ice, but knowing that he could not meet the financial requirements of a leuten- ancy, he departed. He was then without money. He suc- ceeded in getting to London, where his condition was not improved. Poverty and ‘starvation were all that he could see. So, to relieve his necessities, he drew and cashed a worthless check for about $500. He was caught and arraigned for trial in London Sessions before Sir Robert Wallace. To the court he told the whole story. His tale was bulwarked by an investi- gation made by the police. My hands are tied by the law.“ said Sir Thomas, and because of this fact I am compelled to sentence you to pris- on for a year. However, I shall send all the papers in this case, including your statement, to the proper authorities for the purpose of seeing that you receive consideration.“ Busy Bee Bakery Spectal This Week Dresdea Fruit Stollen, 16.

Albert Boss of 400 South Fourth street, East St. Louis, who was shot on the night of Dec. 8 by one of two men who fired at the conductor of a Washington Park car, died this morinng in St. John’s Hospital, St. Louis.

BERLIN, by wireless to Sa: ville, Jan. 25.—Estimating the total German losses in the war at about 2,000, 000, the Na- tional Zeitung of Berlin Says there are available sufficient forces to carry on the war for several years more. The newspaper gives available figures of casualties, and continues: “The first impression obtained from these lists,” it says, is that the num- ber of dead js relatively small, in view of the fact that so many powerful of- fensive campaigns have been undertak- en as well as the defensive actions of unheard-of difficulties, such as that of the Somme.

If the to- tal losses are calculated at about 2,000,000, the German reserves wovldstill number 7,000,000 out of the 9,000,000 with which the war was begun. On the oth- er hand, large numbers of young men have reached the age of military serv- ice during the war. According to a conservative calculation, Germany has had in this way an addition of 1,500,000 to her forces.“ The National Zeitung says that if the soldiers who have passed the age limit for military service have been retained with the colors, the net loss as a re- suit of the war thus far would be per- hape 660,000, or at most 1,000,000, and con- tinues: * “Germany still has at least 8,000,000 men to use on the front, or for the navy, and therefore we do not over- state the case in pointing out that Ger. many, by comparison with the former date (date not given), has a much larger number of men on the front.“ Bowl Fights, Showers, FOOTWEAR SIS Was Nington Ave. Friday and Saturday Special Busy Bee Candy Special Friday Milk Chocolate Divinity, French Nougat, Chocolate Peanut Butterscotch, c Ib.

Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns, president of Forest Park University, was one of a delegation of property owners who pro- tested to Mayor Kiel yesterday against what they asserted was the negletct of the south edge of Forest Park and against the location of the Park De- partment stables near the zoo. Mrs. Cairns said the presence of rsuty rails of the United Railways loop, nearly opposite ver school, was a detriment to property in the vicinity. Others in the delegation were mem- bers of the South. Forest Park Rest. dents’ Improvement Association. They complained that the city has done little to beautify the south side of the park, but instead has used it for stables, greenhouses and the like.

FARM LOAN ACT MAY HELP REDUCE COST OF FOOD Will Provide More Farms and Result in Better Cultivation of Land. By FRANK R. WILSON, Federal Farm Loan Bucrau. The sixth and last of a series of articles on the.Farm Loan Act. The main points of the Federal Farm Loan act have been set forth in the preceding installments. The reader will readily see that this act is a new thing in this country, and is liable to have an important effect on our social and financial life. Let us briefly suggest some of its possible effects: The rapidly increasing cost of living has of late given American thinkers a great deal of uneasiness. The fact is everywhere recognized that our city population has bee. increasing more rapidly than the rural population. Every day there are some more, “mouths to feed, but there is only a slowly increased acreage upon which this food is pro- duced. Two important facts are there- fore patent: First, more farms must be established to provide homes for more producers, and, second, the land under cultivation must be farmed more carefully and with more and better equipment to meet the growing demand for food. Farm Tenantry a Curse. The farm loan act will have a strong influence toward a realization of both of these ideals. Farm tenantry is a curse whose worst effects are lowered fertility and in- efficient farm methods. The tenant is rot a normal farmer. The trasient na- ture of his living makes maximum pro- duction impossible. He is often not a meat producer, because he is not on one farm long enough to build up a herd of livestock. He is a grain farmer, and a grain farmer is a sapper of fertility. He is engaged in the pastime of hauling the fertility of his landlord's soil to market. With approximately one-half of the farm lands of the country in the hands of tenants, America is cashing in her land fertility at an amazing rate. The farm loan act has for one of its important purposes the placing of land irto the hands of owners who will farm it. with the inspiration that comes from ownership. The owner of land treats it so as to conserve its fertility. He is a permanent fixture in the neighborhood. He markets his crop through his live- stock, returning the fertility to the soil. A nation of land owners means a nation with a constantly increasing capacity to produce food for its people. But the farm loan act will do more for agriculture than merely supplying cheap money. The act actually speci- files how the money borrowed shall be spent. It says that unless used to pay debts, it shall be spent on things that will contribute to more production on the same acreage. So the farm loan act means a higher and better type of agriculture. But some students of the act believe its greatest contribution will be the stim. ulation to the practice of co-operation. Co-operation is its basic fact. Farmers are required to get together into groups to secure its benefits. When they put their mortgages together for the sake of getting cheaper money, they will also form the habit of co-operating in other problems of common interest. Who knows but that these co-operative associations may become the business and social units of farm society? Saving to Farmers. The financial saving to the farmers of America would alone be enough to jus- tify this enactment. On a volume of $4,000,000,000 our farmers are paying now nearly 9 per cent annually, all of which is a tax on all the people because it limits consumption by handicapping the producver. If this rate should be re- duced by 4 per cent it would mean an actual annual saving of $160,000,000. But this estimate of the money to be saved does not take into consideration the fact that the normal volume of farm loan business will greatly increase with an advantageous interest rate. The success of the farm loan banking system is now up to the farmers them- selves. They have been given the co- operative machinery to finance them- selves without profit to ary individuals. They have been given the machinery for governing their own financial insti- tutions and maintaining control of them. So carefully is their ownership guarded no matter who buys stock in the Fed- eral land banks eventually none but the farmers may have voting power. Yes. the Federal farm loan act is some- what revolutionary. It upsets all past practices in farm finance. It puts the interests of the majority above the in- terest of the few. It gives the under dog a chance. It writes “Humanity First“ across the ledger of modern busi- ness. Exceptional New Arrivals in 35 Hats For Friday. Myles, 413 N. 7th st.

We wanted fortable to lie in the soft sands of: -the North Sea. It is as if the whole boat Il went to bed. One thing necessary for this comfort is a calm surface, because a heavy sea is felt at a great depth and throws and bangs the boat back and forth on the bottom. Then it is a regu- lar hell. A Night on the Bottom. Slowly the boat slips deeper and deep- er. We had taken soundings before sub- merging. The nearer we come to the bottom the slower the dynamo motors work, and at last I stop them entirely when we are a few meters from the bot- tom. As soon as we had stopped sink- ing, which could be told by the fact the diving rudder was no longer working, a few liters of water were let into a bal- last tank made for just this purpose. The boat became heavier and slowly sank further. “Now, we'll soon strike! flapping sails slowly ’’ IT called down to Central.“ and looked at the manome- ter. Hardly had the words left my lips when we felt a very gentle shock—much less than when a train stops—and now we were at the bottom. More water was jet into the ballast tanks in order to make the boat steadier, and then each one, at his post, carefully examined scuttles and hatchways so that not a drop of water could leak through. From pow ‘to. stern it was reported, All is tight!’ Thereafter orders were given for the necessary guards, and then I let the crew leave their posts. “‘All hands free tonight!“ was the word. Until tomorrow on the bottom of the ocean! No other restfulness can be com- pared with it. Rest after so much ex- citement which has stirred the emotions of us all! After such a day’s work is it possible that anyone can appreciate how we enjoyed ourselves? We did not care that we were not in New L.

From their posts the crew" went past us, with pale, oily, dirty faces, but with their eyes looking at re, as they went—proud, happy, radiant, so that my heart rejoiced. There was some excitement among the crew. Everyone washed up, talked and laughed so that it was evident how hap- py and carefree all hands felt. “Well, with what will you treat us today?” I asked the cook, who, with great self-confidence—because he was an expert in is line—was standing be- a steaming pot. fully appetizing.” „Ox goulash and salt potatoes,“ swered the cook, who stirred his pot with greater earnestness, It soon will be ready.” “Then I must hurry up,” I replied, and went to my small cabin, where [ had not put Soot since 5 o’clock in the morning. I put my cap, si scarf and oliskin jacket on a hook, stretched myself in weary delight in my sweater and washed energetically. This a rare pleasure on a trip like ours. From the nearby room, the happy talk of the officers reached my ears. I then heard the rattle of plates and forks, a cork popped from a bottle, and Groening opened the little door that separates my cabin from the room of the other officers. ‘“‘Herr Cap- tain, dinner is ready. he said. Drink o Day’s Doings. Soon we were sitting, four men in all, at a litttle, nicely decorated table, cut into the steaming platter and drank out of small seidels a magnificent sparkling wine. The day’s events had to be moist- ened a little with the best we had. This was our cuptom when the fortunes of war smiled graciously on us. The electrical heating apparatus fur- nished us with all the ‘warmth we need: ed, but it still has the disadvantage that in the still, unchanged air, the heat arises so that the temperature at the floor is several degrees colder than at the ceiling. In our heavy sea boots we even felt it a little, although, as a whole, we were warm and contented. The phonograph played continuously one native song after another. What a sensation; what a thrill ran through me! At once there was complete silence among all hands. Songs of the Father- land were played deep down at the bot- tom of the ocean right on England's coast. Inspired by the tones of the mu- sic, our hearts were filled with enthusi- asm and a silent promise was made to offer and give everything for the Fa- therland—to become a scourge to the en- emy, and * him with all our might. i We in the officers’ mess raised our glasses and drank toasts to one an- other and to the beautiful U boat. “Rich spoils! A happy journey home! Long live the U boat!’’—that is the U boat toast. The vessel was lying didn't seem to stir. “What an idea for an artist! said our engineer, who was poetically in- clined, as he leaned back in his chair staring thoughtfully at -the ceiling. “One cam imagine a cross-section of the boat, showing sur room at the North Sea's bottom; four feasting, happy officers around a little table on which an electric light is shining: the wine bottle in the center and us with the glasses raised to a solemn toast. Above—water, water, water—water to the height of a church steeple, and ovér it all, the glittering heavens full of stars and a small silver-white piece of the moon. If I were a painter I should immediately start. on a picture with this motive.“ “And give me the picture, I hope, I laughed. . Shortly .after this we went to bed in our narrow bunks, undressing for the first time on the voyage. Soon we en- joyed sleep free from dreams. | (Copyright, 1917. by John N. Wheeler. very still.

M., Jan. 2%,—The First Arkansas Infantry, which has lost 80 many men through pneumonia, and the First Delaware Infantry, which has not had a death through either disease or accident in its seven months’ service on the border, will be sent home in the first week in February, unless delayed by lack of trains. It is said at the base hospital that in every pneumonia case in the Arkansas regiment the patient's blood showed the presence of malarial bacteria. The high mortality rate was attributed to this fact and complications of measles. $25 Assessments Stayed on Payment of Costs.

It creates a central board of five for the direc- tion of the penitentiary and the industrial chools, prohibits leasing the service of convicts for any purpose except the construction of roads, provides tor their employment on State aceount and enables convicts and their dependent families to share m their earnings. Eight hours is fixed as the con- vict’s labor day. An appropriation of $475,000 is granted to pur- chase machinery and provide a working capital for prison industries and of $275,000 for the pur- chase of farm lands and rock quarries. Articles used in State and local institutions are to be given the preference in manufacture. Former bills have embodied mandatory provis- } ions for abolishing contract labor and authorized the use of State money for the purpose. That they have been inoperative is explained as due to the inability of the prison to draw the necessary funds Manifestly the success of the new bill is dependent on the 1] availability of the $750,000 appropriation it car- ‘ries. Can a draft of this amount be met at an j early date when prior drafts were withheld? The Governor’ g new revenue plans can provide ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATOH, TE ofa court official under a questionable title, wulle a dispute goes on as to the legality of his pseudo confirmation. Is not the Circuit bench of St. Louis the last quarter in which a man described in ann! lan- guage as guilty of “official misconduct” should be given preferment? But for his political pull his offense would not be condoned for a moment. Should Judges give such an object lesson on the extent to which po- litical influence may control them in an official act? Of the 28 Republican City Committeemen, 18 are now holding public appointments. ia A Ae * NOT A GERMAN PE The New York Tribune 1 a en from Washington stating upon the highest authority” that President Wilson’s address to the Senate “is regarded in entente circles as a youre move in the interest of the Teutonic Powers.” The dispatch, with its implications, is, of course, untrue. Nobody with an ounce of brains is capa- ble of believing that the President’s address was. made for the benefit of Germany. On the con- trary, it is in direct antagonism to everything that Germany has represented in national and in- ternational affairs. Germany's indorsement of the President's ad- dress could mean nothing less than a revolution in the policies which have governed the empire since 1871 and which have governed Prussia since the time of Frederick the Great. 3 It would mean German acquiescence in the prin- ciples of democracy as applied to all international relations. It would mean German acceptance of bu — 2 5 1 the money after some delay, but recent disclos- ures as to the financial condition of the prison throw light on the sincerity of the plea that lack of money prevented the expulsion of the contract the Declaration of Independence as a rule of: international law.

The prison authorities have already bor- rowed $235,000 from banks and $100,000 more must be immediately borrowed to pay obligations in- curred. There was no hesitation about running the institution in debt to a total of $335,000, largely incurred in meeting current expenses, when the borrowing of the same sum months ago might, by providing convicts with profitable employment, have prevented a maintenance deficit or reduced it toa very small figure. An honest attempt directed by business effi- ciency could have ended the contract plan long ago and can speedily end it now. Past paltering has only piled up a $335,000 handicap. Further paltering will enlarge the accumulated difficulties. 4 „ „ ef A new audion amplifier invented in California makes the fall of a feather sound like the thud of a wrestler striking a mat.

Hughes, who resumes the practice of law. He took occasion also to express regret that the guest of honor had resigned from the Supreme Court of the United States to seek political office, “entailing embarrassment for future Judges,” who might be subjected to similar pressure. With mingled praise and reproof, Mr. Stetson mentioned the fact that within the memory of men now living only three Justices besides Mr. Hughes had resigned in full vigor. Those were Curtis of Massachusetts, who after filing a strong dissent to the Dred Scott decision, left the bench; Campbell of Alabama. who retired to join the Con- federacy, and Davie of Illinois, who accepted an election as United States Senator. Referuing to “the latest” and, as he trusted, “the last” of such resignations, the speaker said: “Hereafter any member of that great court who shall not register an irrevocable, self-denying or- dinance forever withdrawing himself from politi- cal contests, must be conscious that his judicial ut ces may be cited to his political advantage or disadvantage.” Uttered in that presence, these were brave words and true, for they brought mercilessly into a light a recent painful experjence. More pow- ‘erful than any homily, however, is the tate of Mr. Hughes himself. He was enticed from the court to save a party without leadership or principles. Otherwise he would not have been disturbed. It will probably never happen again. = = rer CLEAN UP THE OITY. The Post-Dispatch suggests that there be added to the list of things accomplished during the Kiel administration the cleaning of the city. St. Louis is dirty. A glance at the streets and public buildings is sufficient to prove it to the casual obseryer. The Court House is a sight. It looks like a section of the blighted district. ‘The ‘ritkety basement entrances on the north side Germany that invaded Belgium and destroyed. Servia that the guarantees of a permanent peace’ “must neither recognize nor imply a difference be- tween big nations and small, between those that are powerful and those that are weak.“ It would mean admission by the greatest mili- tary Power of history that “right must be based upon common strength, not upon individual’ | strength,” and that the limitation of armament both on land and sea is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future of nations and of mankind.” It would mean admission by the German autoc- racy that “no nation should seek to extend its policy over any other nation, but that every peo- ple should be left free to determine its own policy, its own development, unhindered, unthreatened, unafraid, the little along with the great and pow- erful.” It would mean that the Kaiser, who has just pro- posed peace in the name of Germany “conscious of victory” now assents to the dictum that it must be “a peace without victory,” which concedes an equality of rights. To accept and indorse the President's address, Germany must revolutionize its previous theories of government. It must turn its back upon force and set its heel upon despotism and become as completely a new Germany as France of the re- public became a new France after the downfall of Napoleon III. It is no German peace that Presi- dent Wilson has proposed to the world, but a peace of democracy. St. Petersburg, Fla., will not change its name to Petrograd. Such a change might be regarded as unneutral. = = * * SUFFRAGE FLAG OF 13 STARS. North Dakota grants woman suffrage on the same terms as Illinois. They may vote for presi- dential electors and all statutory State and local officers. They are denied a choice in the election of constitutional officers. | So, although 1916 ended disastrously for the cause, suffrage amendments being defeated at the polls in New Jersey, New York, Massachusétts and Pennsylvania, 1917 opens reassuringly. As the thirteenth suffrage state, equaling the original total of all states in the Union, North Dakota may have an omen of good luck. The legislatures of 39 other states afe in session and in most of them the votes for women issue is up. Some may at least accord qualified suffrage. The century. opened with but four suffrage states. Nine have been added in the last six years. Even in the absence of a Federal amend- ment a gratifying rate of progress seems to be maintained. 8908 8 At a vaudeville entertainment in Portland, Ore., all the performers were between 45 and 90 years of age, the idea being, perhaps, to have the ac- tors and the jokes contemporaneous. ; a A +. ree BACKWARD LEGISLATION. — — ä— — —1 — —— 2 — —— —ñůñ—ůůůů—ů— Ot IN THE COUNTRY O you know that in the country 5˙ Al the world is cold and white ; That the fields are bright with ace.

The seven Judges who voted for Becker's con- firmation are these: Gafesche, Rassieur, Taylor, Davis, Calhoun, Falkenhainer and Kiene.

Instead of studying Latin he used to steal away from home and ramble for hours in the fields and woods, collecting queer specimens of plants. He knew nothing at all about botany. In fact, he did not know there was such a word. But he loved plants and he loved to study them and to write in a notebook the results of his studies, His father was so disgusted by Charles“ supposed laziness that, when the boy was 12, he refused to teach him Latin and theology any longer at home. So Charles was sent to the nearest Latin school, with strict orders from his father to the pricipal that the boy should beieducated for the ministry and should be cured (by many oe if necessary) of his fondness for e ing around“ with plants. The principal obeyed these strict orders. And Charles life at the school was an endless misery.

Next morning a search party found him and he was dragged back to the school. The principal solemnly expelled him and wrote to the pastor that Charles was an incorrigible idler. The chagrined father gave up all hope of making a clergyman of his son. By way of punishment he apprenticed Charles to the village shoemaker. This was a disgrace, in the eyes of the pastor and his friends. But charles did not regard it so. 5 For it gave him his evenings and Sundays free. And he was able to go ahead with his beloved task of botanizing. He was not strong. And, presently, the double job broke down his health. The great doctor was called to see him. This doctor—John Rothmann—was a man of science. During one of his visits he happened to pick up, Charles’ botanical notebook. At first in idle curiosity and then with absorbent 8 Dr. Rothmann read Charles“ notes. Then he began to question the lad. At length he said: “I am going to bring you a copy of Tournefort’s ‘Elements of Botany.’ Tournefort is a great man. But T prophesy that you witt one day cast his memory into the shade by your own fame.“ Rothmann then went to the boy’s parents. By dint of much persuasion he induced them not to send Charles back to the cobbler’s shop, but to let the doctor prepare him for the University of Lund. So eagerly did the lad study, under Rothmann’s tuition, that in a single year he was ready to enter the university. But here a new obstacle arose. The pastor was a poor man. So was the department. doctor. There were no friends to pay for the university course. 5 ne n Charles solved the problem by acting as shoemaker for his fellow stu- .

Learning How to Make a Dollar 5D a Dollar’s Work. And all this is knowledge every \wom- an should have,“ Mrs. Meyer continued earnestly. ‘“‘For years some of us have been trying to instruct the poor woman how to live economically; how to pro- vide her family with healthful meals for a small sum: how to simplify her dress and her household duties. That seems to me the sheerest impertinence —unless we are willing to practice what we preach. We all need to know how to make a dollar do a dollar’s: work. “There is no woman so rich that she can afford to waste. There is no woman with so many servants that she can afford not to care for the food values her family reeeives at each meal. That's a part of her job, and the American woman, like the American man, should know her job. Any engineer knows the caloric value of each pound of coal he uses. But how many women can tell you the caloric value of a quart of milk or an egg? “The Home Economics Committee al- ready has given one course of lectures on ‘The Art of Spending,’ especially | cin on ied é 4 4 es © Urn N ; 3 2 * LE ̃ .— — 0 33A Gents, thus picking up enough cash to send him through college. a All day he studied.

Women from all over the city will meet at the Hotel Astor, on the after- noon of Jan. 23, to tell of their strug- gles with the Evil One, the High Cost of Living, and to receive advice and encouragement from the modern minis- ter of grace, the expert.“ There will be present 24 specialists of national distinction, including national and State officials, professors from Yale, Colum- i bia, Cornell and Pratt Institute, di- rectors of housekeeping associations and hotel chefs, to answer every question propounded by the women on the sub- jects of food, clothing, the house and household management. An interesting feature of this experi- ence ting is that it has been ar- ranged by a committee of wealthy and socially prominent women, among whom are Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee, daughter of the late J. P. Mo ; Mrs. William Alexander, Mrs. H. Flagler, Mrs. An- nie Nathan Meyer, Mrs. Cadwalader Jones, Mrs. Arthur Dodge, Mrs. Henry Fairfield Osborn, Mrs. William R. Shep- nerd, Mrs. Frederick B. Pratt, Mrs. ‘Helen Hartley Jenkins, Mrs. H. Hobart Porter, Mrs. Leonard B. Shoenfeld, Mrs. Arthur Lehman. But though these rich women are not ashamed to avow them- selves interested in the problems of the housewife, the conference at the Astor Boundless Hospitality raultiplied rapidly. Many times without help, and with no confectioners, mar- het places or groceries to which I could resort in such emergencies, I was obliged to draw upon my friends and neighbors to come in to aid me in the preparation of a meal for unexpected guests. As I discovered, we were sup- posed to extend boundless. hospitality. Visitors and friends arrived un- announced, coming at any time that suited their convenience, without inquir- ing whether or not it was agreeable to us. They frequently brought children with them as, in that day, parents rare- ly had any one with whom to leave their charges when they wished to give themselves an outing. : „These unexpected visitors always ar- rived in the early morning. You had to welcome them with a smiling face, notwithstanding the fact that your heart might sink within you. By 11 o’clock you had to go to your kitchen to begin preparations for the midday meal, the menu for which you had been mentally trying to arrange from the moment of the arrival of your unexpected guests. Fortunately, they were unconventional and followed you to the kitchen. You had to keep up @ conversation with them, while you endeavored to think what it was possible for you to set be- first line of defense.“ Meyer Promises Patrons Money’s Worth. What every woman ought to know, and probably doesn't.“ really sums up the program for our experience meet- ing. Mrs. Annie Nathan Meyer, chair- man of the Home Economic Commit- tee, told me. Mrs. Meyer is the found- er of Barnard College and well-known as a dramatist ahd a shrewd student of social and domestic problems. No such congress of distinguished authorities has ever before been brought together for the benefit of the housewife. At the experience meeting she will meet face to face and will have a chance to interrogate the men and women who can give her the latest, most definite, most efficient information about every branch of her great pro- fession of home-making. There will be no formal, wordy speeches. But any woman may rise from the floor and ask any question she likes about do- mestic problems, with the assurance that she will receive an answer from the best qualified expert.“ “But what sort of questions may be asked?“ I inquired. Can't you give me some examples?’ “Here are some written ones already received by the committee,“ replied Mrs. Meyer. These will certainly be Mrs. Their depends upon the mere giving of directions to servants, to cater- ers—or even those who go out to a con- venient delicatessen shop and purchase food for a more modest repast—shouid think back sometimes to what hospital- ity has meant in past times and still means in primitive places. Does not hospitality take on a new meaning when one thinks of it as loving labor for others, the giving up of time or corn - fort to provide entertainment for our guests, be they friends or no? In her ‘‘Reminiscences of a Soldier’s Wife.“ Mrs. John A. Logan tells of the hos- pitality which she dispensed in the Mid- dle West when she was a bride of 17 years, in 1855. ‘My mother had sent with our goo1s a colored mammy, whom we called Aunt Betty, she writes. “Aunt Betty was to be our maid of all work, and but for her I do not know how I should have gotten through with many domes- tic trials, as I was, in a measure, ignorant of the details of home and housekeeping.

No- amount of careful rubbing or flicking. of the feather duster can reach far into those crevices; there the dust collects and there it ordinarily stays. But not long ago a woman—and a very busy one, at that—hit upon a new plan for cleaning her wicker chairs. One by one she carried them into the bath- room, lifted them into the tub and turned the Spray upon them. THe perfe- trating stream of water pierced them through and through, and after process was complete, each chair fairly shone with freshness and cleanliness. “If housewives could know the amount of dirt and dust that I succeeded in washing out of my three chairs, said the woman in question, “they would not hesitate long to follow my example and pop them into the bathtub.” Southern Corn Custard.

ON MEETING TOMORROW Whether Commission Is to Con- tinue Will Be Decided at South Broadway A. C. | A meeting of boxing promoters of the city has been called for tomorrow night at the South Broadway Athletic Club by Robert W. Hall of the local commission. Among the promoters will be Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan of the Future City A. C. Others interested in the welfare of the game are expected to be present, to discuss the situation and clear up the entanglements following the dropping of ry Sharpe as referee by the Future City 3) C., and the resignation of C. M. Westerman of the commission. At first members of the commission thought of punishing Tommy Sullivan and his club for violating the rules in refereeing without a commission card and for other alleged rule violations. It is now believed that matters will be adjusted without any penalties being in- flicted. The commission, too, which was rather disgusted with the way affairs were ng, Was seriously contemplating abandoning all efforts to reform the pro- moters and of disbanding. It has recon- sidered and will —— choose a third member to fill t vacancy left by Dr. Westerman. The name of Tom Peters, a sanitary engineer, has been mentioned for the place Sullivan’s explanation of his financial condition, due to poor patronage, will be urged in defense of his disobedience of the commission's rules.

U NLESS Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan changes his mind, or some other box- ing promoter comes to the rescue, the local boxing game will miss one of its pillars. When the Future City A. C. decided to part with Harry Sharpe, for retrenchment reasons, it dropped the man who was responsible for the revival of the sport here and who fought long and hard, in the face of open and ambushed attack, to keep up its standard. When the question of resuming boxing here was brought up it was Sharpe’s talks with the Police De- partment and with the Police Com- missioners that wrested from the or- ficials a reluctant consent to go ahead.” Sharpe was really the instigator of the present Boxing Commission and it was he who drafted the code which has since been adopted here and in at least two tber Missouri cities— where it is observed, not winked at. For the Good of the Game. HARPE fought the battles of the promoters with the Police Board, in some of their clashes, and won by discreet handling. He ref- ereed gratis for the club in times when it could not afford to pay him. Only recently he refused to take his full payment, when the shows were poorly attended. ; Sharpe’s absolute refusal to be “handled” by anybody won him many bitter enemies and much sub-surface criticism. It provoked threats of personal violence. Once he was as- saulted ard struck while in the ring by partisans of a fighter; but he promptly floored his assailant. Again he was threatened with a knife by a disgruntled fighter. On at least two occasions police escorted him from the club building. Threats and attacks failed to make him weaken or waver from the rul- ing that his strict system dictated. Sharpe is one of the most experi- enced, competent, trustworthy offi- cials in the game today—there are few of them—one who has shown him- self to be beyond conscious bias or in- fluence of any description. His absence from local rings is tke fans’ loss, not his. Fraternity Not Unionism. HAT the American Federation of Labor will take unto its bosom that squalling oung infant, the Players’ Fraternity, and cherish it during its hour of pain and travail is not being given entire credence. Samuel Gompers recently told a Post-Dispatch correspondent at Washington’ that the fraternity would be admitted to the unton. But the long silence, following the confab with Dave Fults, has cast a shadow over the hopeful young eaglet of the baseball world. A guess hazarded as to the outcome of he federation’s deliberations would be “thumbs down” for Fultz, jon the theory that the conditions ex- — AMUEL CROFT DAVIS of St. Louis, brother of Dwight Da- vis, the former tennis cham- is having an oll-burning plea- t at New York for use he has pion, sure craft bul! at Bar Harbor, Me., where a summer home. ” the Davis boat is 73 feet long, and has been designed for comfort rath- er than speed.

He's the boy for us, Bo, if we could only import him in quantity. We need him to pro- tect us from the fierce variety of bull that has been coming our way, since the st * talkfest began. In the absence of such protection we'll have to organize a home guard of amateur matadors to put down the everlasting bovine that the magnate and fraternity members are letting loose on * 7 . Some Shorthorn Bull.“ HE magnate’s line of stuff runs something like this: The bailplayer is slowly throttling the national pastime. The magnates have ylelded to them in every important par- ticular, even to giving to him in salaries all of our receipts. The player wants to grab everything in sight, and let the game take care of itself, while we magnates are trying hon- estly to maintain the game on a high, honest plane. The player wants to commercialize this noble sport for his own ends and we don't propose to let him. This strike is a pure holdup to main- tain this high-priced prima donna in bank president's salaries, etc., ad lib. „ . On the Other Hand— And then we hear the snort of the Fraternity ox, about as follows: This fight we are making has nothing whatever to do with sajaries. It's per- fectly plain that our ONLY motive is to protect the poor little fellow in the minor league. Nothing is further from our minds than the thought. of personal gain. At the same time, we cannot help it if some of our brothers protest and hold out against being sliced from §7500 to $4000 in salary, We're all slaves; we have no voice; we're peddied around like cattle; we can- not select our own jobs, but must take those thrust upon us, with the salaries just as they are offered. If the. magnate is left alone, he will commercialize the game until the fans are sick and ready to quit, etc., ad lib.

President Barker Will Have No Trouble Finding Stars for Swedish Tour. That President Winton Barker of the Missouri State Football Association will have no trouble recruiting an all-star Soccer team for the proposed trip to Sweden for an international series in May, is the unanimous opinion of many Players approached on the subject to- day. When the offer was definitely made, and tentatively ay be 5 yesterday, there still was some doubt as to wheth er the really representative players could spare the time to make the trip. Expressions of some of the players, however, reveal the fact that. there should be no such fear. The only dan- ger now is that somebody will be killed in the rush. Withal a few very capable kickers, such as Bill Abstein, recently appoint- ec manager of the Hartford (Conn.) ball club, and Dike Brannigan, who is to play with Jacksonville next season, will not be able to go unless they quit baseball. But there are others of rare capabilities who will gladly sacrifice a few dollars to “cross the big splash.“ And the team can be so chosen as to include a good combination of soccer and baseball players. These names have been suggested: Goal— Sheahan; Fullbacks: Tate Brady and Lancaster; halfbacks: O’Hanilon, Mil- ler and Zeuschel; forwards: McHenry. Richard Brannigan, Kehrmann, Byrne and Corrigan. Any number of substitutes are available. Cahill Boosts St. Louis. St. Louis is to be honored in this in- stance at the suggestion of Thomas Ca- hill, who took an all-star team to Swe- den a year ago.

The late ‘market was irregular, however, and early gains were mostly lost. Final figures were only slightly above yes- terday’s closing. Corn futures showed good buying, and rose about Ic to new high records. Small receipts, good cash and export demands and light offers from first hands heiped the buyers. Oats were nearly ic high- er with corn. Corn and oats finished firm but less than 1c higher. Broomhall cabled: “The Liverpool wheat market was dull today, awaiting freight developments. Arrivals increasing. Corn market strong with light export offers; expect light Ar- gentine shipments. Oats market very firm, but quiet. Arrivals continue lim- ited with consumption liberal. There will be no shipments from Argentina this week and American offers continue firm with demand good. Argentine stocks light.

> suburb. The Post-Dispatch ae Daily Short Story HousebroRen By Christpher Morley. % FER Simmons had been married two years he began to feel as though he needed a night off. Bui he hesitated to mention the fact, for he knew his wife would feel hurt to think that he could dream of an evening spent elsewhere than in their cozy sitting room. However, there were no two ways about it; the old unregenerate male in Simmons yearned for something more excting than the fireside armchair, the slippers and smoking jacket and the quiet game of cards. Visions of the old’ riotous evenings with the boys ran through his mind; a billiard table and the click of the balls; the jolly conver- Sation at the club, and glass after glass of that cold amber beer. The large free dom of the city streets at night, the warm saloons on every corner, the ba- rooms with their pyrnmide of bottles flashing in the gaslight—these were the things that made a man’s life amusing. And here he was cooped up in a little cage in the suburbs like a tame cat! Thoughts of this kind had agitated Simmons for a long time, and at last he said something to Ethel. He had keyed himself up to meet a sharp retort, some sarcastic comment about his preferring a beer garden to his own home, an out- burst of tears. But to his amazement Pthel took it quite calmly. "Why, yes, of course, dear,“ she said. "It'll do you good to have an evening with your friends.“ A little taken aback, he asked ‘whether she would rather he didn’t go. “Why; no,“ she answered. I shall have a lovely time. I won't be lonely.’ This was on Monday. Simmons planned to go out on Friday night, meeting the boys for dinner at the club, and after that they would spend the evening at Boelke's bowling alley. All oe week he went about in a glow of xnticipation. At the office he spoke in | offhand way of the pleasant evenings man can have in town, and pitied the prosaic beggars who never stir from the house at night. Friday evening he came home Jus: long enough to shave and change his collar. Ethel had on a pretty dress end seemed very cheerful. A strange K- ing came over him as he saw the fa- millar room shining with firelight and ‘the shabby armchair. : .— you rather I stayed at home?“ i 2 a bit,” she said, quite as thougt. 5 i meant it.

A WALKER LELLA AND THE PRINCE. - ELLA’S mother died when she E was a baby, and her father mar- ried again, and this stepmother brought with her two daughters who were very plain looking, while Lella was very pretty. Now, it happened that a Prince had called at the house one day and had fallen in love with Lella and wanted to marry her, but the stepmother wanted him to marry one of her daughters, so she locked Lella in a room in the cel- lar of the house and told the Prince Lella had run away and did not want to marry him. : This, of course, the Prince did not be- lieve, so he watched the house and one night he saw a light in the cellar and peeped in the window and there he saw pool little Lella weeping, with her head on the table, where stood one tiny flick- ering candle. The Prince tapped softly on the win- dow and Lella looked up and saw him. Motioning to her to be quiet the Prince raised the window and crept in. Lella told him what her stepmother had done and that she had not run away and still loved him, and the Prince told her he would come for her the next day and carry her away to his castle, where they would be married. But the stepmother had thought that the Prince might find Lella and had asked a wicked old witch to help her, and when the Prince was going home that night through the forest the witch threw a spell over him which made him do anything she wished, and carried him into her cave. Then the stepmother brought one of her daughters to the witch’s cave and the witch made the poor, bewitched Prince say he wanted to marry her, and they took him away for the wedding. As soon as the stepmother knew the Prince was to marry her daughter she set Lella free, and when she saw the Prince she was sure he had come for him and hurried to meet him. But, of course, the Prince did not know her since the witch had cast the spell over him, and he turned away with the stepsister and left poor Lella more unhappy than she was before. Lella was so unhappy that she could not stay and see her lover married to her stepsister, so that night she left the house, not knowing or caring where : red a long distance, and ma by she found herself in the Retiaet far att the ech utes daughters,” said the Ogre, ‘‘and only one thing will save him.“ “And what is that?“ asked his wife. That is a secret, my love,“ said the Ogre; “I cannot tell even you, for if anyone should hear it all the plans of the old witch would be spoiled and she would put us to death.“ “Oh, but you should tell me every- thing, my love, said the Ogress, else I might get very cross and harm vou.“ Lella could see through the keyhole, which was very wide, that the Ogress looked as if she might do all she threat- ened and more, and in a minute she heard the Ogre say: “Well, if you will promise to keep it a secret and not sell it for gold or silver, I will tell you.“ Wild horses could not drag the secret from me,’’ said the Ogress. ‘What is it that will save the Prince?“ “The only thing that will bring the Prince out of the spell the old witch has thrown cer him is this powder I have in my pocket; the witch gave it to me for safekeeping.“ “Oh! think of the gold and silver we could have if we sold it to the King, his father, or to Lella, the girl he was to marry,’’ said the old Ogress, her eyes shining with greed. “Yes, but think what will happen to me, my dear, if he is freed. The witch will know I sold the powder and I might lose my head.“ said the Ogre. “No, we must keep the powder until the old witch asks for it.’’ Lella knew she had found the only way to keep her lover. But how was she to get the powder out of the Ogre’s pocket? She did not knock at the door, but continued to watch, her poor back ach- ing with bending over to look through the keyhole until she thought she would drop. By and by the Ogre fell asleep and Lella saw the Ogress take the pow- der from his pocket and hide it in the chimney, and then she fell asleep on the floor beside the fire. lla knew to go to the King would t too much time; the Prince would be married before she. could return to save him, and she had no gold or sil- ver to give the Ogress. The only way to save the Prince was to get the pow- der that night, After a while the Ogre and his wifs breathed Bo deep and strong that it She trembled and her heart beat 30 loudly that she felt sure that they would hear it, but they kept on breath- ing and did not move. Lelia reached in the chimney and took the powder and tiptoed out and then Ghe opened the paper that held the powder and read: : mean! to come for the wedding, for she could not see the Prince until then, her step- mother had watched him so closely. Just as the stepsister and the Prince Came into the room where the wedding was to be held Lella lighted the paper which held the powder and a bright flash was seen, and then all was dark and still. Lella was so frightened she could hardly breathe, but in a few minutes she saw the Prince and heard him say: I haye found you, my Lella, and this | time no one shall keep us apart.“ The stepmother and her daughters stood, too frightened to speak, huddled in one corner of the room, and the Prince carried Lella off to his castle, where they were married and lived hap- pily ever after.
