NEW YORK, Jan. 30.— I sold 1800 pounds of horse meat last week, and that is a big week’s business for a new meat shop,” said John Sulzer, proprie- tor of what he says is “America’s first horse-meat packing house.’’ Aside from the fact that the meat is a trifle redder than beef, the appearance of the stock is no different from _ of ony other butcher shop.

BARUCH SAYS HE MADE $476,160 IN THIRTEEN DAYS Testifies in Leak Inquiry That His Stock Profits Were Due Entirely to Foresight. TALKED WITH M’ADOO Telephone Conversation Was About Reserve Bank Director, Not Peace Note, He Declares. NEW YORK, Jan. 50. —- Bernard Ba- ruch, Wall street speculator, $50,000 con- tributor to the last Democratic cam- paign fund and heavy short seller in the stormy days preceding the issuance of President Wilson’s recent peace note, testified at the ‘“leak’’ inquiry today that his profits on the market between Dec. 10 and Dec. 23 were $476,168. Every cent of this profit, he declared, was due to his foresight in interpreting speeches by Von Bethmann-Hollweg and David Lloyd-George as to what was coming. Not a single transaction he made, he said, was influenced by ad- vance information that the President was about to dispatch a peace note. He received no such information, he said, and added that he had no secret sources of information in Washington on which he based any of his stock operations. As proof of his assertion that he was unawere that a note was forthcoming from the President, he was on the buy- ing side of the market when news of it became public, he said. Neither he nor any other men would have been caught in such a position, he declared, if he had foreseen the note: Overlooked Ticker “Tip.” Baruch also pointed out several other errors he made on the market during the 13-day period of his -profit-caking. On several occasions he was forced to sell stocks at a loss, he testified, and finally, on the day before the President's note was made public, he overlooked the Dow Jones ticker tip“ which he had in his office that a note was expected. “I covered that day,” he — “and sorry I Testifying that during the “leak’’ pe- riod he had called up Secretary Me- Adoo, Baruch explained that he had done so at the instance of Col. E. M. House, President Wilson’s adviser, to suggest to the Secretary the name of a man to fill a vacancy in the board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. ie said that Col. House had called bim cn the telephone and said: “There is a vacancy in the Federal Reserve Bank. 1 don’t Know anything abcut those tel- lows down there. Won't you suggest a name? Baruch said thought the nanie asked him to suggest ow he did so. Col. House satisfactory and it to Secretury A rumor which Attorney Whipple said had come to the committee to the effect that Baruch, some time dur- ing October, November or December, frankfurters with horse and pork meat, lad dined with Count von Bernstorff, 10 cents; other sausages, including bo- and pork: meat, 10 to 20 cents.

V., Jan. 30. — Wylie B. Jones and Herbert E. Woodward, who composed the Sargol Co., manufacturers of a medicine which it was claimed would put flesh on thin people, were convicted of illegally using the mails in the United States Court last night. Their trial lasted 12 weeks. More than 200 witnesses were examined and up- ward of 2600 exhibits offered in evidence. The evidence showed that in 36 months the defendants had received an income of more than $1200 a day. Upon the verdict, it was said, rests the prosecu- tion by the Government of a number of alleged frauds of a similar kind. FEDERAL ANTI-TRUST SUIT CHARGES SISAL CONSPIRACY Pan- Gevernmest Action Against American Commission Corporation. NEW YORK, Jan. %:—The Govern- ment today filed a suit in the Federal Court here Against the Parf-Americhn Commission Corporation, Sol Wexler and others, charging conspiracy under thé anti-trust laws ,to restrain inter- state and foreign trade in sisal, and to increase thes market price of sisal throughout the United States. . HORSE FALLS IN NARROW TRENCH Police 3 8 Owner to Consult Some One With Derrick. Thomas E. Hampton, 4621 Humph- rey street, a painter, called up the Police Department today to find out how he could get his horse out of a trench in his back yard. Hampton was lowering the drain and had dug a trench six feet deep, three feet wide and 45 feet long in pis back The horse, during the night, wandered out of the stable and stum- to the ditch. * told Hampton that they did not have any derricks, and ad- vised him to consult a heavy haul- “tng company. r . | 1 White's concern, Archibald White and Charles S. Sabin, a New Vork banker, who early in Oc- tober predicted a peace move, was de- nied by Baruch. J. As unexpectedly as Whipple brought the name of Ambassador von Bernstoff into his examination of the German offi- cial’s friend, Archibald 8. White, .the New York financier, he suddenly closed his direct interrogation of White today after obtaining denials from him that he had received advance information from German official regarding any of the recent peace movements. Having established the Close rela- tionship between White and the Am- bassador yesterday, and questioned the witness closely about alleged efforts of Thomas W. Lawson to arrange a meet- ing; With Von Bernsterff, Whipple today drew an expectant audience to the hearing room. Then Whipple asked White less than half a dozen questions and turned him over to the committee for further examination. Reading first from testimony pre- viously taken by the committee in Washington, Whipple brought out that details of the German Government's „peace proposals and President Wilson’s note were known in German official headquarters here and in Washington before they were made public and asked White if he received any advance in- formation about them through such channels. White answered negatively. After it had been brought out that the Federal Chemical Co., which he said yesterday he had tried to get Lawson interested in, man- ufactured products used in making mu- nitions, he was excused and Baruch was called. „ Baruch Ready to W Baruch declared voluntarily that he was ready to answer any question fully and as his examination proceeded he erequently saused Ihughter*by his hu- morous remarks about his gains and losses. On Dec. 11, he said, he bought 5000 shares of Steel, expecting it to rise, „put it didn't,“ and he sold the follow- ing day at a loss of about 4 points. Then came the address of Von Beth- mann-Hollweg in the Reichstag regard- ing peace, Baruch said, and foreseeing the effect the speech would have on the market, on Dec. 13 he sold short as rapidly as possible, dealing in all in 23,400 shares of Steel that day. Baruch declated ‘he believed history would show that Von Bethmann-H-!l- weg s speech marked the turning point in the world war toward peace. “I real- ized,” he said, that the people's minus heretofore thinking only of war, would UNION ELECTRIC PAID BIG PROFIT 10 SIOTER COMPANY Cent on Current Sold to It in Year 1915.

The report is the result of an order for a valuation and statement of earn- ings and expenses of the Union Elec- tric Light and Power Co., whose rates are being attacked as unreasonable by customers of the company. The accountants, as their reason for investigating the Electric Co. of Mis- souril, say, that the enormous profit made on the current sold by that com; pany to the Union Electric, owned by the same holding company, has a direct bearing on the legitimate operating ex- pense of the Union Electric Co. The Electric Co. of Misouri does both a wholesale and retail business. It buys current from the Keokuk dam at .46 of a cent per kilowatt hour and sells it at .58 of a cent to tke Union Electric Co. and .64 of a cent to the united Rail- ways Co. for sale 0 privais consumers in St. | Iuenis Count at retail rates.

WINS DUEL IN BELOW ZERO WEATHER ON WESTERN FRONT British Aviator Comes Down Numb Busses Provided in Advance of Raid—Germans Given Ride. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Jan. 30.—The cold continues along the entire Western front, the ground being frozen several inches. Nine degrees above zero was regis- tered by some army thermometers Sun- day night. The cold is accompanied by clear days and starlight nights and the booming of heavy guns is heard on nearly every sector of the British lines. Aeroplanes are exceedingly active. There is much fighting at altitudes where the mercury registers far below zero. A British aviator descended after a victorious duel with the instruments of his machine frozen. He was 80 numb he had to be helped from his ma- chine. Many men in the trenches say they prefer ice and frost to water and mud. Warm food and drinks are served every few hours. In a recent operation in which more than 350 men were made prisoner, Brit- ish troops, in anticipation of success, had brought up old London motor busses, in which they gave the Germans a ride to prison camp.

Hundreds of persons, among them school children and teachers, viewed the ‘body of Ben Blewett, Superintendent of Instruction in. the. Public. Schegis,.as_it., 9 lay in state from 9:30 to o'clock today in the main hall on the first floor of Soldan High School, Union boulevard and Kensington avenue. A crowd had gathered at the school when the body arrived and was placed in state, surrounded by a profusion of floral tributes. From that time on the public, in a steady stream, moved in two lines, on either side of the casket. Sixty public school principals formed u guard of honor, divided into three committees, which had charge of ar- rangements. So many persons arrived at the school in the afternoon that it Was necéssary to clase the doors at 1:45 o’clock, thus preventing several hundred persons as- sembled on Union boulevard from view- ing the body. At 2 o’clock the body was taken upstairs to the school auditorium, where public funeral services were held. Al- though school pupils were permitted to view the body while it lay in state, they were not admitted to the funeral exercises in the auditorium because of lack of room. Three hundred seats were reserved for the honorary pall- bearers, chosen from among the prin- cipals, heads of departments and su- pervisors in the schools. The other 1500 seats were for the public. ‘ On the stage a chorus of 107 high- school boys and girls sang Gounod’s “Send Out Thy Light” and Handel’s Largo was sung by Mrs. A. I. Epstein with chorus. The Anton String Quintet played. The speakers selected for the public exercises were the Rev. W. C. Sitting, pastor of the Second Baptist Churcn: Ben P. Stromberg, president of tna Board of Education, and Mayor Kiel. Members of the board of Education were at Union Station when the body arrived there at 6:17 p. m. yesterday and accompanied it to the Blewett home, 3405 Hawthorne boulevard. The active pallbearers at today’s fu- neral services were President Strom- berg of the School Board; Herman Mauch, Dr. J. P. Harper, C. W. John- son, Edward A. Raithel, Henry A. Rosskopf, A. Holt Roudebush, Charles J. Lammert, Steve Wagner, Richard Murphy, Dr. Henry L. Wolfner, Frank X. Hiemenz and Assistant Superintend- ents Carl G. Rathmann, W. J. S. Bryan and George P. Knox. The body will be taken Terre, Mo., for interment. The burial there tomorrow will be private, and only members of the family are expect- ed to attend. Mayor Kiel yesterday issued a procla - mation, asking that all business activi- ties in St. Louis be suspended between 3 and 3:05 p. m. today as a tribute to Blewett's memory.

* Hurope will signalize a mighty ad- “Nance toward the peaceful settlement of eae ational controversies. It is impos- or me to doubt that the law of the inn be rewritten and that the mad competition in armies and navies will be restrained.” Analyzes President's Proposal. ‘Beferring to the President’s statement that he was “‘proposing government by the consent of the governed,“ Senator Cummins continued: ‘‘To take the world as it is and divide its territory and its people, observing these principles, is the work of the Almighty, and even His power and wisdom would be taxed to their very limit. Let us hope that the yrovidence of God, aided by the example of those countries which do recognize these national beatitudes, will, in the fullness of time and the evolution of mankind, lead the world to this perfec- tion. I am for one, willing to pray for it and work for it. That, however, is wot what the President proposes. “To put in very homely phrase, he Waris the United States to sit down with the other Powers of the earth and seriously attempt to agree upon a divi- sion of the earth and its peoples into sovereignties, guided, [ assume, by the principles he so persuasively states. And, having so apportioned the popu- letion of the world among distinct Gov- ernments, that this universal council shall create a supreme power which, through armies and navies contributed by the several subordinate nations, will maintain the status thus estab- lishec by suppressing insurrections, re- nelling invasions, overcoming every ef- fort of any single Government or com- bination of Governments to change the existing condition. Contemplates Eternal Fixity. The plan involves, of course, the de- nial to any such nation of the right to redress its own wrongs or to main- tain its honor. It contemplates com- plete crystallization, eterna! fixity. It may be that there is, in his mind, the reserve thought that the league of na- tions or supreme power of the world ¢an change the territorial limits of Gov- ernments or transfer a given people, with their consent from one to an- ether; but he does not make this point asx clear as could be wished. _“The question which the American people must answer is whether they desire their Government to participate in any such effort, with the understand- ing that out of it is to grow a league ot nations or world authority which will have jurisdiction not only to settle all international disputes, but the power through armies and navies to coerce every nation into acceptance of its Awards or laws.” Here Senator Cummins reviewed the dent’s outline of world peace terms, quoting from the address at length. here is but one conclusion that can e drawn from these utterances,” Cum- 2 declared. It is that over all the tions of the earth there shall be a mon and supreme power, which will tonly undertake to decide all the con- Yersies which may lead to interna- 4 posal disturbance, but which, having tered judgment upon them, will com- sobedience.

DERNBURG ANALYZES WILSON’S PEACE SPEECH New Lesson From New World Which Cannot Be Earnestly Enough Examined, He Says — President Absolutely Neutral. By CYRIL BROWN A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1917. by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, Jan. 30.—The moral yeast of President Wilson's message continues its leavening. work here surprisingly, and while there is no hope of its lead- ing to practical results in the near fu- ture—no hope that it can forestall the expected horrible manslaughter in spring superoffensives—it nevertheless has not failed to leave a lasting im- pression on the hearts and heads of men here, and the new Monroe Doc- trine continues to be discussed all over Germany. Article by Dr. Dernburg. In a remarkable analytical article in the Tageblatt, Dr. Bernhard Dernburg writes: “President Wilson's new doctrine sets up an ideal—maximum conditions, in war parlance. He can hardly believe his proposals can b& realized at once, and completely. But he brings a new lesson ffom out the New World and has thrown the whole power of this New World, with its total of inhabi- tants greater than England, France and Italy, into the scale, and an- nounces that he will not let up with his demands. In the estimation of Europe, Wilson may be 50 or more years ahead of his time, but he hopes that the great need of the hour And the strength of con- viction of this greatest white nation on earth will carry torn and bleeding Eu- rope with him. And to this end he of- fers his active help. “Far from the scene of the struggle, without direct interest in either of the combatants, from a lofty standpoint he has outlined his peace program. This time he was absolutely neutral, if ever. To realize this it is sufficient to note how particularly our enemies reject Wilson. “Apply his main principles to our eastern enemy. Wilson demands an American constitutional life for Eu- rope, too. But where in Russia is Lin- coln’s government of, by and for the people to be found, or where no taxa- tion without representation? Peoples are not to be passed from one poten- tate to another as if they were chat- tels—but how about the cutting up Tur- key? Who constantly speaks of the necessary balance of power? The en- tente. “Apply President Wilson’s demands to England and France and you get the same disappointing results. Who de- stroys and hinders the weedom of the seas, cables and mails? England. Who until recent years prevented Russia frov.: getting an outlet to the Mediterranean? England again, and France. From us too much is demanded—without con® promising it won't go, says President Wilson. Claims Alsace-Lorraine. But according to the principles of nationalities Alsace-Lorraine belongs tv Germany and not to France. Rivers are hardly even boundaries between nations. It is the mountains that separate them. The Vosges are the natural boundary. To German Poland, too, Mr. Wil- son's principles have no application if the President considers the fact. Yes, he will give them minority rights, but in the mixed populated Prussian dis- tricts of Posen, Bromberg, Danzig, Al- lenstein and Marienburg there live over 2,000,000 Germans and only 180,000 Poles. Over Silesia there can be no discussion. „All the great nations are to have access to the seas. This will include Poland as well as Switzerland. Amid unanimous approval Count Tisza has declared Austria-Hungary's attitude to President Wilson’s program, and Ger- many’s, too. „We should have a few items to add to President Wilson’s program. The free- dom of the seas must include the priu- ciple of the open door. Ihe youth of Europe is bleeding to death; immense capital values are de- stroyed; the physicai developinent of the nations is seriously menaced, and the general power of resistance of a whole continent is being broken. Under these circumstances one cannot earnestly enough examine even very far-seeing proposals. The European world knows that President Wilson was actuated by nobie and upright motives to undertake this. He stands on a great moral height and must be estimated accordingly.” Spanish Premier Discusses Reply to Wilson’s Peace Note. MADRID, Jan. 30.—Discussing Spain’s answer to President Wilson’s peace note with the editor of the Mundo, Premier Romanones said: “The Government is satisfied with. what it has done and will consequent- ly keep to the views expressed in its note. The note to President Wilson was drawn up with the double object of af- firming again in a categorical manner our neutrality and putting Spain in a position with the other countries which will permit her to intervene efficaciously for peace at the proper time.” BARNEY BARUCH GOES ON STAND IN LEAK INQUIRY Continued From Page One. turn to thinking of peace, that outside of the better things they would think of what effect peace would have on busi- nes and finance, and that a man ought to act quickly in selling securitles.“ Paying little attention to rumors and having no special means of informa- tion, Baruch said, he was guided in dealing on the market solely by in- formation gleaned from a ticker serv- ice and the newspapers. He always bought securities outright, he said. When he learned of the Bethmann- Hollweg speech, Baruch said, he was in the office of another firm negotiat- ing the purchase of some securities. „J didn't buy them,” he said. “I went back to my own office and began to sell everything I had.“ Baruch went into detail as to his stock market operations. On Dec. 14 ke sold short 1600 more shares, bring- ing his commitments up to 25,000 shares. On Dec. 15 the market broke and he covered by buying in all but 11,000 shares. He sold Steel short at 123 and covered at an average of 110. On Dec. 16 he sold short again 4000 shares and on Dec. 19 went short 28,400 more. On Dec. 20 he covered 17,900 shares, reducing his short account to 25,600. Between Dec. 10 and Dec. 23 his net profit in the market was $476,168.47, he testified. Touching on his Dec, 19 deals, Whipple asked Baruch if they were affected by any information from Washington re- garding the administration's attitude toward peace. “Absolutely not.“ he replied. Did you receive any information from Washington regarding the administra- tion’s attitude?“ Whipple asked. “Absolutely not,“ he replied. If I had krown of the President's note that day I could have started in at 10 o'clock and sold all day.” nticipated Lloyd-Geor ~ Giree h said he had an B the Lioyd-George speech replying to the German peace proposals on Dec. 19. “I knew, of course, that it was com- ing. I felt that it would be just what it turned out to be, that it would leavs the door open for peace. I can see now how it come out on the ticker—‘but it leaves the door open for peace“. Baruch was asked if he considered his operations at this time large. “Oh, they were fair operations, but I've done larger. I'll tell you about some others if you want to know. I'll tell you anything you ask me.“ A general denial was offered by Ba- ruch that he had any communication with anyone in Washington about the time of the President's peace note in regard to it. He talked with Secretary McAdoo two or three times, he sald, bout an appointment to the Federal Reserve Board. Baruch also said he had tried to as: Faul Warburg over the telephone dur- ing this period, but fat’, He never talked over the telephone with Secretary Tumulty, or discussed the peace note, he said, The story that he had breakfasted with Tumulty in the Biltmore Hotel, he said, was moon- shine.” “There is one fact in connactior with — matter which has been very overlogked,” Baruch yolun, teered. “That is that the Japanese peo- ple, than whom there are no cleverer in the world, took steps to close the stock exchange immediately following Von Bethmann-Hollweg's speech.” This action, noted by Baruch on Dec. 13, increased his desire to sell, he said. The situation in the Japanese market was similar to that dere,“ he said. “They don’t let them sell short over there, though.” ST. LOUIS LEADING RIVER PORT; 336 VESSELS ENROLLED Customs Report Shows Aggregate Tonnage on Regular Call Is 28,790, Signifying Big Growth. St. Louis is declared to be the largest river port in the United States, in the report made by Collector of Customs Rothwell for 1916, copies of which were made public today. This city, the report says, last year had 336 steam vessels enrolled as mak- ing this port regularly. Comparisons with the last five years are made, and a steady increase in number of vessels and in tonnage is shown since 1912. In that year there were 121 vessels, with a tonnage of 18,033 tons. The 336 ves- sels enrolled last year had an aggre- gate of 28,790 tons. The collector is charged with the en- forcement of laws for the safety of life on motor craft, of which there are about 6000 in the St. Louis district. In 223 cases, in the last year, fines were imposed on owners who neglected to comply with the law. The collector also shares responsibility with the lo- cul steamboat inspectors for seeing that excursion steamers are not overloaded. No loss of life occurred in the last year in the St. Louis district, although more than 600,000 excursion passengers were carried. IDENTIFY MAN AS SELLER OF BRASS DISCS FOR PURE GOLD Two Arkansas Men Say Poolroom Proprietor Swindled Them Out of 3600—He Denies Charge. Mason Harris, a merchant of Little Rock, Ark., and his son, Moe Harris, today identified Mason Poticha, who op- erates a poolroom at Sixteenth street and Franklin avenue, as one of two men who on Jan. 24 sold them for $600 what purported to be pure gold discs worth $2800. The discs turned out to be brass, worth $1.40 for the lot. Poticha was confronted with his ac- cusers in Judge Miller’s court, where he appeared té answer on his bond follow- ing his arrest last week. J. A. Robinson a dentist, 3904 Laclede avenue, had in- formed the police that Mrs. Fannie Fa- dem, who has a dry goods shop at Twenty-seventh street and Franklin av er ue, told him she knew a man who had pure gold discs for sale. The man proved to be Poticha, who showed to the den- tist three discs of genuine gold. Rob. inson notified the police, and Poticha was arrested, As the Circuit Attorney's office de- clined to issue a Warrant against Po- ticha, he was discharged ‘this morning on his bond, but was rearrested follow ing his identification by Harris and his son.

SENATORS LOAFING N THE JOB At JEFFERSON GITY Only 19 Bills Engrossed—Wolf Bounty Increase Put Ahead of State-Wide Measures. HOUSE WORKING BETTER Indications Are That Present Legislative Session Will Ac- . complish Less Than Last One. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 30.—-Four of the 10 weeks of the legislative session are gone with practically nothing accomplished and the present systematic and seemingly carefully studied delay by the Senate leads to the belief that the 70-day period will end with even less done than by the Legislature of two years ago. The Senate has not passed even one bill and has engrossed only 19, few of which are more important than the first one, a measure by Senator Bald- win increasing the bounty on wolf scalps from $6 to $10. The haste with which this measure was advanced in the Senate over bills of State-wide importance, such as the prison reform bill, measures for im- proving conditions at the State insti- tutions and for producing revenue, it would seem that the wolf menace in Missourl was considered to be of most dangerous proportions. Minor Bills Take Up Time. Other measures which have octupled the brief sessions of the Senate deal largely with technical changes in the real estate mortgage laws of the State, and include such bills as the two intro- duced by Senator Gardner increasing the salary of the Circuit Clerk of St. Louis County, and abolishing the con- tingent fund of the Prosecuting Attor- ney’s office. The Senate has not considered one bill of State-wide interest. Conditions in the House are better. Speaker Watson appointed his commit- tees early and many of them have been at work for three weeks. Many House bills have been reported and a number have been passed, but no matter how diligently the House works, the Senate, by its delay, stops all legislation. The delay means that as the session draws to a close, the Senate calendar will be clogged with bills which will die because of lack of time, just as hun- dreds of bills died two years ago, in- cluding nearly all the measures of im- portance. How ‘Senate Became Clogged. Under the Senate rules, when this clogged condition exists, only those bills to which there is no opposition will be considered, and there always is some opposition to measures of importance. It is the Senate system during the clos- ing days to call the roll in alphabetical order and permit each Senator to call up any one bill he chooses. If one Sen- ator objects to a consideration of that bill, he is permitted to call another, and so on until he finds one of so lit- tle importance that nobody objects to it. Even before this rule is adopted the mass of business which piles up in the closing days is such that proper con- sideration of important matters ‘is not given, and legislation is enacted which must be done over again at the next session. Two years ago the bill to abol- ish the contract labor system at the penitentiary was permitted to drag along until almost the last day of the session, and then it was passed in such condition that the system was abolished without any provision being made for State em- ployment of convicts. This year the Legislature must make that provision. So far, the Senate has limited its ses- sions nearly every day to about 30 min- utes, in the morning. A few days it has deen in session from 10 o'clock unti! noon, and on two or three days, such as the day the Lamm-Gardner contest was taken up and the day William J. Bryan addressed the Legislature, it met for a short time in the afternoon. Forced Adjournment at 3 P. M. The Senate at the beginning of the session indicated its intention of devot- ing as little time as possible to consid- eration of State business by adopting a rule that for the first 40 days of the session the adjournment should be not later than 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and that if still in session at that hour, the President of the Senate should de- clare it adjourned for the day. It never meets before 10 o'clock in the morning and the adjournment for luncheon al- ways is at least two hours. Each Friday since the Legislature convened the Senate has adjourned be- fore noon until 2:30 Monday afternoon. This enables Kansas City and St. Louis Senators to take noon trains for thoir homes and to return Monday on trains reaching Jefferson City after noon. Gov. Gardner has avoided giving a di- rect answer to questions as to whether he would convene the Legisiature in special session after the adjournment of the regular session in the middle of March, in case the important adminis- tration measures were not adopted, but informed persons here believe the pres- ent system of delay will cause a specia| session if the bills are to be passed in a form satisfactory to the administra- tion. There is a widespread opposition to the Hawes good roads bill, the prison reform bill and the bill for a central board of control for eleemosynary insti- tutions. It is said that nearly every member of the House has an amendment to the good roads bills, and that most of them propose to oppose the bills unless their amendments are included. — .Lecture by W. R.

By Associated Press. BERLIN, via London, Jan. 30.—Ger- many undoubtedly will be able to hold out until che next harvest if the sup- plies of food are husbanded and dis- tributed carefully, although’ stocks of provisions this year are scantier than in the two previous years of the war, said Adolph von Batocki, president of the Food Regulation Board, in an ad- dress yesterday, which was prompted by the present troubles in food dis- tribution. Reckoning five pounds of potatoes as equal in food value to one pound of grain, Von Batocki figured the total supply available for man and beast as equivalent to 2,000,000 tons of grain less than last year, since the increase of 4,000,000 tons in the grain harvest is more than counterbalanced by the de- crease in the potato crop, amounting to 30,000,000 tons. Other Supplies Affected. The shortage of potatoes also affects the supply of meat, milk, butter, etc., since it has necessitated utilization of turnips for food and prohibition of the use of grain for fodder. Each hundred- weight of turnips of which the cattle are deprived means a reduction of 15 quarts in the milk supply. The foodstuffs captured in Rumania furnish a welcome and valuable addi- tion, Von Batocki said, but owing to transport difficulties will be available only gradually. The problem of food supply is being brought home to residents of Berlin in the most direct manner by the discus- sions regarding the introduction of a standard bread. The proposed abolish- — — R! — ee — ä —˙⸗1 TEC ELE ERI ment of wheaten rolls and the issue of uniform loaves of mixed rye and wheat are objectionable both to those whe long for the tastier rolls and to tie] working population, which will have to pay more for the mixed loaf than fr the present rye bread. However, the au- thorities declare, the change is inevi- table, in order to obtain the maximum amount of bread from a given quantity of flour. Otherwise the weekly bread ration would have to be reduced. Causes of Bread Problem. The difficulties are due not to any re- duction in the total supply for Ber- lin, but to the fact that the better classes, which formerly consumed only part of their bread ration, are now us- ‘| ing it down to the last roll. Another fac- tor consists of the supplementary ra- tions issued to the working classes to eke out inadequate supplies of other ar- ticles of food. The bread problem also has been ac- centuated recently by the severe win- ter conditions, which not only have crippled the transportation service, but have prevented farmers from opening po- tato cellars and exposing their potatous to the risk of freezing in transit. Some municipalities are unable to issue po- tatoes this week. Charlotenburg, one ot the richest Berlin municipalities, is in this situation. These conditions, coupled with the trouble of obtaining bread on breal cards and the shortage in the meat sup- ply, have caused many well-to-do per- sons to tako advantage of the munici- pal food kitchens, where a nourishing and appetizing ration is obtainable. Among these persons are the members of several American families, who are not influenced by financial considera-! tions. ARMED WOMAN IS FINED $100. Says Revolver Was Protection Against Chicago Purse Snatchers. CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Mrs. Helen Dia mond, who came here with her hus- band recently from Texas, where she says she was accustomed to carrying a revolver in holster belted over her hip. was robbed of her hand bag in Chicago two weeks ago. After that until last night she carried her revolver. Then she was arrested in the audience of a moving picture show and today she was fined $100 for a carrying a con- cealed’’ weapon.

Mrs. O. K. Meints, mother of four of the victims and grandmother of the fifth, is believed to have mixed the con- tents of a sack containing an arsenical preparation used by her husband in taxidermy with a prepared pancake flour, thinking the powder was pancake flour also. , The dead are: Fred, 28 years; Theo- dore, 26; Irvin, 21; Mino, 24, and Clar- ence Meints, the grandson, 7 years old.

MeQuie of Montgomery County, chairman of the committee on education, to be introduced. Me- 3 Quſe, after a conference with Senators ' Kinney and Brogan, declined to in- troduce the till, and gave it to Repre- sentative William J. Blesse of St. Leouls, a Republican, who introduced it. The bill would have been passed without much of a fight but for the opposition of Senators Brogan and Kinney. artisan Agreement Broken. The bill is designed to remedy condi- tions in St. Louis growing out of con- trol of the Board of. Education by poli- ticlans. For many years the Repub- ' ean and Democratic city committees, > have power under the oresent sys- to dictate the nomination of a so- Galled bi-partisan School Board ticket, kept their agreement to make the board . This system was broken p= ache by Jeptha D. Howe, when he was Republican boss of St. Louis, by his refusal to place the names of some of the Democratic nominees on the Repub- lican ticket. The result was the elec- ‘tion of a Socialist member, instead of a Democrat, which gave control of the board to the Republicans. The Repub- licans ever since have controlled the board, and several politicians have been elected to membership. : A giaring example of the present par- tisan control of the School Board was found in the nomination and election of August H. Kuhs, real estate dealer, who Was ousted by the Circuit Court for \ teking advantage of the secrets of the board to sell ft a school-house site at a profit of $11,000 to his firm. Kuhs’ nomination was forced by Charles (Cap) Troll, Republican boss of a South St. Louis ward, and the pro- moter of many lid clubs which have given the police much trouble. Kuhs“ hame went on the bipartisan ticket and ne was elected. On account of the fail- ure of the two city committees to agree upon candidates in recent years, the Republicans have been able to retain control of the board, " To Put Schools on High Plan. The intentior of the bipartisan system was to bring about the nomination of high-class men to conduct the affairs of the School Board, but political rival- ry has become so intense in St. Louis as that the original object of the law has ben lost sight of. It is contended by ithe supporters of Grosman’s bili, which bas the backing of the Civic League and numerous other civic and businéss or- ganizations, that it would result in _ putting the School Board on a much higher plans, because the Mayor would select members of high standing in the community, who would take pride in “keeping the Board of Education out of politics. The Grossman bill provides that not more than one-half of the members of the beard shall be adherents of the same political party. Senator Kinney told 2 Post-Dispatch dorrespondent that he was opposed to the bill because he did not believe it _ Would improve conditions of the schools. It is understood here that the real rea- gon for the opposition of the two St. _ Louis Senators is that if the bill should pass they would lose some of their po- litical influence because they would be | deprived of the privilege of making po- utical trades in connection with School Board nominations, In many instances _ politicians are able to force the nomi- nation of some favorite candidate for _ ther office by reason of making trades on School Board candidates. 25 Kinney Tells His Attitude. We have a good public school sys- ‘tem now,“ Senator Kinney said, “and I do not see any need for a change. We do not know what kind of men _ Mayors would appoint, because we do not know what kind of Mayors St. Louis will have; I have never seen any attempt by political parties in St. Louis to control the Board of Educa- oo oe cs et knowing St. 1 conditions, I N Senators Kinney and Bro- t Louis about the bill.

CITY LEADERS SEE GARDNER ABOUT ELECTION BOARD Democratic Committeemen Ask Him About Activity of Wilfley and Lammert. It was learned by a Post-Dispatch re- porter today that Gov. Gardner, when in St. Louis Saturday, was visited at the office of his coffin company by a subcommittee of the City Central Com- possible political activities of Xenophon P. Wilfley and Charles J. Lammert, the newly appointed members of the Elec- tion Board. On the special committee were City Committeemen Fitzsimmons and Cloo- ney of the Twelfth Congressional Dis- trict, Tully and Walsh of the Eleventh District and Seifert and Kaiser of the Terith District. Tom Leonard, chair- man of the City Committee, also was present. Report of “Call Down The meeting caused much 3 among politicians and a report was cir- culated in Jefferson City that the Gov- ernor had been called down” by the city committeemen for making. impor- tant appointments without consulting the committee. Gov. Gardner denied there was any friction at the meeting. This was con- firmed by Chairman Leonard, with the qualification that the Governor was toid that the City Committee would expect that Wilfley and Lammert would not be active in politics and would not at- tempt to build up a political machine in appoirting judges and clerks of elec- tion. Before Leonard was seen, James J. Fitzsimmons, secretary of the City Committee, denied to a Post- Dispatch reporter that a sub-committee of the City. Committee had visited Gov. Gardner. Leonard gave the names of the sub-committee members, inclui- ing that of Fitzsimmons. Criticiem Made. We just went down to the coffin factory and had a little talk with the Governor,” said Leonard, “We did not criticise his appointments. Wil- fley’s name had headed the commit- tee’s list of recommendations for a place on the election board. Lam- anert’s appointment was a surprise. We knew he was all right, but we thought he was out for appointment as a member of the State Public Serv- ice Commission. „We told Gov. Gardner that the Bilec- tion Commissioners avho served under Major were always busy trying to build up a machine which would aid Major in beating Reed for the United States Sen- ate. The Governor assured us no such machine would be fostered during his administration and I am confident he will keep his promise. “Our talk with the Governor nad nothing to ao with hie appointment of Police Commissioners.

Los SHOES GO ALE AROUND WORLD 10 RUSSIA Shipments Made Nearly 15,000 Miles by Pacific Route, Partly by. Parcel Post. American-made shoes are in such de- mand in Russia that nearly 40,000 pairs ‘are being shipped monthly from St. Louis half around the world to Moscow. Shipping charges make the price almost double what they are in St. Louis. All of the local manufacturers are partici- pating in the trade. The Russian Government limits, freight on the Grand Siberian Railway to ship- ments for military purposes, . Arch- angel, the only northern port f Rus- Sia, has been closed since early in November. Therefore, St. Louis shoes are shipped as freight to Vancouver, B. C., across the Pacific by steamer to Kobe, Japan, and thence by steamer across the Japan Sea to Vladivostok. There they are taken from their original large packing cases and in special con- tainers, each holding four pairs, they are sent to their consigneés over the Grand Siberian Railway as parcel post. Manner of Shipment Described. C. M. Chavez, general manager of the foreign department of the Internationa! Shoe Co., which is shipping from 20,000 to 30,000 pairs of shoes to Moscow. each month by this method, told the details to a Post-Dispatch reporter of the cir- cuitous shipping. The fregiht charge to Vancouver on 10,000 pairs of shoe, Chavez said, is $675. The steamer tariff from Vancouver to Kobe and across the Japan Sea is $1327 and the postage to Moscow from Vladi- vostok is $750. The shoes are packed in special containers of fiber boxes, sealed in a cloth covering, at an outlay of 25 cents for each container, adding $625 to the cost of such a shipment. In Moscow and other Russian cities, St. Louis shoes, priced here at $4 to $7, are being sold for from. $8 to $12 a pair, Chavez said. The same shoes would sell here for from $4 to $7 a pair. All are of the better grade, or dress shoes, none being furnished for the army. The distance the shoes travel is more than 16,000 miles. The ordinary short route for ship- ments from the United States to Rus- sia is from New York or other Atlan- tic seaports to Archangel, about one- fifth as far as by the Pacific route. Local Factories Get Advantage. The closing of Archangel as a port until May has given local shoe manu- facturers an advantage” over their eastern competitors, on account of the cost of shipments from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. Deliveries of shoes in Moscow are slow, Chayes said, some of the deal- ers having’ not yet having received shipments made two months. aro. Arthur e 31 years old, a traveling salesman of the Brown Shoe Co., returned a few days ago from Rus- sia, where he went five months azo, on his own initiative and at his own ex- pense, to take orders for shoes.

In his home at 6227 McPherson avenue, today, he told a Post-Dispatch reporter that politics will have to stand aside for business. „While I regard all talk of policy ‘die prior to my confirmation by the Senate, Mansur said, “I don’t mind telling you that in the event of my confirmation I shall take up the duties of Police Con- missioner and endeavor to perform them in the same manner that I have transacted my own personal business affairs.’’ Mansur does not enthuse over ef- forts of interviewers to inject any- thing about his personality into his prospective police board work. In fact he is opposed to it and makes it known that he would. be better pleased if all reference to himself as a private citizen be omitted. Mansur said he had never had any experience in police work. For 36 years he has been connected with the John Deere Plow Co., of which he is vice president. All his business ex- perience has been with ‘this com- pany. he said, 27 years of which he has spent in St. Louis. He was born in Chillicothe, Mo. Later he was con- nected with the John Deere Plow Co. in Kansas City. Mansur admitted that he would go into the Police Department free of any knowledge of its workings. He laugh- ingly admitted that he did not even know the policemen on the beats about his residence or business place. That members of the police depart- ment who pay close attention to neat appearance will prove popular with President Mansur is evident from a glance at the new president. He is of neat appearance. His hair and mustache are almost white. He wears tortoise rimmed glasses and is of a jovial and courteous nature. IN AUTO TRAILS Causes Hig Arrest for Annoying Young Woman in Park. Miss Mary Fisher of 4142 Shaw av- enue, driving through Tower Grove Lark in her automobile yesterday after- roon, saw a shabbily dressed man fol- lewing a girl in a lonely section, She suspected something was wiong, and when she saw the girl run away from the man she followed him to King's highway and Magnolia avenue, where she pointed him out to a policeman. The man was taken to the Mounted Isistrict Station, but later was released, as the police were unable to find the girl referred to by Miss Fisher. THE DAY IN CONGRESS. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.

A story in an afternoon paper, stat- ing that Biggerstaff had obtained orders amounting to $8,297,000 in Russia, and that he had brought back $400,000 in cash, and that his commissions on sales would be $487,000, was characterized by Bush as “an Arabian Nights tale.“ H. said the company could fill no foreign orders at present, as its domestic busi- ness, which must first be cared for, was keeping the factories busy.

Chairman Burnett of the House Immigration Committée has given notice of his intention to move Thursday to override the President's veto. President Wilson's reasons for disap- proving the bill were conveyed yester- day in a message to the House express- ing his “conviction that the literacy test constitutes a radical change in the poll- cy of the nation which is not justified in principle.” He added that it is not a test of character, of quality or of per- sonal fitness, but would operate in most cases merely as a penalty for lack of opportunity in the country from which aliens seeking admission came. This was the fourth time that an im- migration bill had been vetoed because of the Hteracy test feature. President Wilson has exercised the veto privilege twice and Presidents Taft and Cleveland once each. JUROR INTERCEDES FOR TWO MEN SENTENCED TO PRISON J. W. Bray Tells President Penalties for Mail Fraud Were More Severe Than He and Associates Expected A request for a pardon for George L. Colburn and M. L. Winegar, con- victed of using the mails to defraud, was made to President Wilson yesterday by Joseph W. Bray, vice president of the Condie-Bray Glass Co., dispatches from Washington said. Bray, a mem- ber of the jury which convicted the men, called on the President with Sen- ator Fletcher of Florida. Colburn and Winegar were officials of the Washington & Choctaw Land Co., which began operations in 1909 and rep- resented it had 39,00) acres of land in Washington County, Ala. After the men were convicted Judge Dyer fined each $1000, sentencing them to jafl for 18 months on one count and to five years in the penitentiary on another. Bray told the President the jury did not suspect such severe sentences would be imposed. The appeal was referred Thomas Evans, 25 years old, of 1914 Morgan street, was shot in the back, at 1:40 o’clock this morning by Pro- bationary Patrolman Claude I. Mooh, from whom he was running. Moon, who has been on the force two months, said that he and Pa- trolman Grogan were passing a room- ing house at 1309 Washington ave- nue, when they heard the voices of men and women in the front room. Recognizing one of the voices as that of a woman who had been convicted in Police Court, o said, the po- licemer. entered the house and in- formed William Brennan, who had recently acquired the ownership of the place, of the alleged character of his guest. Brennan, according to Moon's report, ordered the woman and her compan- ions, another woman and four men, from the house. They left. Fired at Ground and in Air. Evans walked west on Washington avenue and, when he had gone about 106 feet, according to the policeman’s report, turned and called Moon names. He alse threw a brick at Moon, according to the latter. Evans then ran through a lot to Lucas avenue and west on Lucas. Moon pursued. He reported that he fired two shots at the ground and one in the air to frighten Evans. The latter con- tinued running and Glaappeared at Six- teenth street. Twenty minutes after the shooting Dr. M. J. Hopkins of 3756 Lindell boulevard telephoned to police headquarters that he had been summoned to 1914 Morgan street to treat a gunshot case.

By a Staff dee of the Post- JEFFERSON 21 T. Te. 30.—The Sen- ate Ways and Means Committee tonight will hold its second public ‘caring on bills to abolish the giving of trading stamps by department stores and mer- chants, and the giving of premium cou- pons by tobacco manufacturers and others. The first hearing on the bills last Thursday evening brought to the capital attorneys and merchants representing both sides of the trading stamp ques- tion. Ernest A. Green, a St. Louis at- torney, represents merchants who do not give trading stamps and who are behind the bills. Opposed to the bills are Morton Jour- dan, representing the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.; W. C. Irwin of Jefferson City, Albert D. Nortoni, former Judge of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, rep- resenting a national organization of companies, such as soap companies, which give coupons redeemable in pre- miums; Election Commissioner Thomas L. Anderson of St. Louis, Mortimer Levy and Mrs. William S. Utter of St. Louis. Daniel C. Nugent Favors Bills. One of the principal speakers in favor of abolishing trading stamps, at the hearing last week, was Daniel C. Nu- gent of B. Nugent & Bro. Dry Goods Co. of St. Louis. Mrs. Utter, Levy and others spoke against the bills. The argument advanced by the advo- cates of the measure is that the trading stamp is a tax which the dealer in- cludes in the price of the goods sold, it being explained that when a customer ‘has $100 worth of stamps he is entitled to receive $2 in cash or .-.50 in merchan- dise. The committee was told that the public was deluded into the belief that it was receiving something for nothing, and that in reality it paid higher prices for goods purchased. truth of these arguments, contending that trading stamps merely gave to the customer a 2%-per-cent discount for cash, the stamps being issued only with cash purchases. They told the commit- tee the retail merchants always re- ceived a discount of from 2 to 2% per cent from the wholesale dealers for cash and that the consumer who paid cash was entitled to the same concession. Deny Charging Higher Prices. They denied that higher prices were charged for goods and insisted that if an attempt was made to charge more, the buyers would purchase from stores which offered the best bargains. The cost to the retail merchants of the trad- ing stamps, the committee was told, is made up in increased volume of business and in receiving cash for goods sold, a large saving being made in the book- keeping and collection departments maintained by stores doing a credit business. The Eagle Trading Stamp Co., one of the larger concerns engaged in the busi- ness of supplying merchants with stamps, is directing the effort to defeat the bills. Although the bills are in the Legisla- ture as revenue producing measures, each providing a tax on the ‘business done by merchants giving them, all of the arguments in their behalf at the first hearing were along the line that the trading stamp should be driven out of existence, and it was admitted it was ¢he purpose of the bills to make the tax so heavy no merchant would use them. Scope of Bille Sweeping. The bills are known as trading stamp bills, but their provisions extend to any stamps, coupons, tickers, certificates, cards or similar devices,’’ which entitle the holder to money or merchandise. They thus apply to tobacco, cigar and other coupons which have a redeemable value, Two bilis introduced in the House by Representative Sprague of St. Louis County have been reported favorably by the committee to which they were re- ferred and are on the calendar for en- grossment. A third bill introduced by Sdhator Kinney is before the Senate Ways and Means Committee for action. Opponents of the bill are attempting to induce the committee to report it un- favorably. — — ANTI KAMNIA (A-K) TABLBETs.

What a tragedy! What a tragedy!” I consoled him the best I could and promised to assist them 80 that they could land at the same time they had hoped. Then I, as he was about to leave the U boat, offered him another cigarette, shook his hand amicably and sent him off the ship. We had agreed that I would tow his bots toward the coast until some new spoils hove into sight. Then they would have to do the best they could for themselves. goon after 2 o'clock this occurred, through the danger zone, end would be more apt to be armed than would the sailing ship coming from a long voy- age. No Notice Taken. There was nothing suspicious to be seen; therefore we advanced. We ap- proached the stern of the tugboat, slowed down, and, within yelling dis- tance, kept pace with them. Groening, Petersen, Lohmann and a sailor were with me in the conning tower. The tugboat flew the British flag. I hol- Jered with the full power wf my lungs: “Take aboard the crew! Take aboard the crew!“ I waved with my left hand toward the sailing ship in erder to make my meaning clear.

The body of William Dischert, 56 years old, former St, Louisan, who wes shot and Killed last Friday in his home at San Antonio, Tex., by his stepdaughter, Mrs. Joe Allala, 16 years old, will de brought to St. Louis for burial. ‘Bt. Louis relatives and friends of Dischert, who was wealthy, received informa- tion of the shooting yesterday. Dischert operated a vehicle manufac- turing business at Nineteenth and Mor- San streets for 26 years, but since his retirement several years ago he had spent his time managing his extensive real estate holdings. He spent last win- ter in St. Louis at the e Albany Hotel, 4878 Page boulevard, with his wife and her young daughter, Ruth. Mrs. Allala and her husband also visited the fam- ily at the Albany. Mrs. Allala’s mother was Dischert's third wife, She was a St. Louie wom- an and she married. Dischert only a few years ago. Shortly after she mar- ried him, the daughter, Lilian, who did the shooting, then only 14 years old, eloped and married Joe Allala. Allala is now a militiaman stationed at Co- lumbus, N. M. According 0 dispatches from San An- tonto, Mrs. Allala declared she shot her stepfather in defense of her mother. He was crazed at the time, she said. “He was hurt several years ago and at times it affected his mind. He threat- ened my mother and attempted to do her violence, I jerked a gun out of a closet. I did not know I had shot him. The bullet penetrated Dischert’s head, Mrs. Allala was arrested and released on $1000 bond. She had been visiting ner mother some time, but had told reighbors that she expected to leave soon. Dischert is survived by two brothers in St. Louis, George C., proprietor of a carriage factory at 915 Wash street, and Herman, and a sister, Mrs. Christ Al- brecht of 2534 Salisbury street. His sis- ter yesterday requested the Public Ad- ministrator to take charge of his St. Louis property, estimated to be worth $20,000. He also had property at Wood River, lll. He began work as a wagon maker in St. Louis in 1876 and in 1883, after learning the trade, he started his own business. In 1911 he sold out and has traveled 1 de l since then. MAN SHOT IN QUARREL AT HERCULANEUM, M., DIES HERE Three Bullet Wounds Inflicted in Street When Dispute Is Renewed; Slain Man Unarmed, It Is Said. Howard Wadsworth, 23 years old, of Herculaneum, Mo., died at 6:30 a. m. today at Alexian Brothers’ Hospital from three bullet wounds inflicted by Ernest Hayes, 35, a chauffeur, at Her- culaneum yesterday.

St. Louis has been asked to contrig- ute $200,000 as its share of a $10,000,000 fund, which is to be raised by Amefi- can Jews in 1917 for the relief of their war-stricken brethren. The first step in this campaign will be taken at the Odeon, Thursday night, when a mass meeting will be held under the auspices of the St. Eouis, American Jewish, Cen- tral Relief and People's Committees. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, head of the largest mail-order house in the world, who has given more than $1,090, - (00 for philanthropic purposes, will be cne of the speakers.

They (trading stamps) TEMPT BY A PROMISE OF A VALUE. GREATER THAN THAT ARTICLE AND APPARENTLY NOT REPRESENTED IN, ITS PRIOE, and hence it may be thought that thus by an APPEAL TO. CUPIDITY.. they (trading stamps) LURE TO IMPROVIDENCE. This may not be called in an exact sense a ‘LOTTERY,’ may not be called ‘GAMING’; it may, however, BE age SIDERED AS HAVING THE EVIL AND SEDUCTION OF SUCH.” That's a most severe-indictment of trading stamps, yet it is the official expression of the United States Supreme Court. : 5 _ ‘WHO OAN, LOGICALLY, AND WITH REGARD TO THE WHOLE TRUTH, DEFEND A TEM which the highest legal authority in this country DENOUNCES AS POSSESSING SED AND EVIL OF A GAMBLING SCHEME, A LURE. and which offers SOMETHING WITH DISE THAT IS APPARENTLY and in reality not given. : In the face of that strong and indefensible denunciation of trading stamps, how can it be 3 for any merchant opposed to giving trading stamps to be charged by the advocates thereof with 8 ‘your home and tating by force 244% of your weekly income. DOES NOT THE SUPREME OO CLEARLY SAY, IN EFFECT, THAT THAT IS WHAT THE TRADING STAMPS DO—‘‘tempt by a promise of a value greater than that article and apparently not represented in its price,“ to use the court s 4 IS NOT THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT?

Trading stamps, however, are given as late as the tenth of the month following purchase or after, ¢ fis | an elapse of 40 days. Under such conditions they cannot be considered as a cash discount. On the heaviest sales day of the week—Saturday—the small merchants, through the cleverness of the trading stamp companies have been induced to give double stamps. working to capacity and he was selling all the merchandise it was possible to manufacture. But, finally, and to again quote from the decision of the United States Supreme Vaurt, Dusties 8 Mekenna says regarding trading stamps and discounts: There must be SOMETHING MORE in it THAN THE GIVING OF DIS. COUNTS, BE SOMETHING MORE THAN THE MERE LAUDATION OF WARES. If companies evolved from the system are able to REAP A PROFIT FROM Tr, it may be thought there is something in it which IS MASKED FROM THE COMMON EYE AND THAT THE PURCHASER AT RETAIL IS MADE TO BELIEVE that he can get MORE OUT OF THE FUND THAN HE HAS PUT INTO IT, SOMETHING OF VALUE WHICH IS NOT OFFSET IN THE PRICES OR QUALITY OF THE. ARTICLES WHICH HE BUYS. IT IS CERTAIN THAT THE PRICES HE PAYs MADE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE SYSTEM ‘AND THE FUND, if we may individ- ualize it, out of which the COST OF THE INSTRUMENTS AND AGENTS OF THE SYSTEM MUST BE DEFRAYED, AND THE PROFITS TO ALL CONCERNED PAID. That is the same principle as 4 4 8 manufacturer who would give twice his usual cash discount if his plant was loaded with orders, ‘Way, te Pe In other words, this high court, which lays down the laws of this country in ‘their tinality—says J that there is something more in trading stamps than the giving of a discount, that it is.‘ from the common eye,’’ that the Housewife is “made to believe that she can get more out of the (the cost of the trading stamps) than she puts into it, whieh is not offset in the priees or pres which she buys.’’ And the court further says that “it is certain that the prices she pays go to pay. for the expense of conducting the trading stamp companies and the’ profits of all concerned.

Homer Phillips, a negro lawyer, who Was reported in the Sunday Post-Dis- patch to have been one of a group of negroes who waited on Mayor Kiel at his office Saturday and pledged support for him for re-election, said today he was not in attendance. His name was confused by those present with that of a physician with that surname. Phillips has been identified with the Koeln-Sti- fel-Howe faction of the Republican par- ty, which has made no announcement in regard to Mayor Kiel’s aspirations. “I understand nearly all of the ne- sroes who called on Mayor Kiel were city employes,” Phillips said. “I cer- ay The dangerous gold is the neglect- 8 ec cold.

That number of park benches, costing about $25 each, will be needed on the bridge, and Mayor Kiel thinks that they could appropri- ately be donated to the city. The re- ward, aside from the satisfaction of having done a benevolence, the Mayor says, would be the placing of the do- nors’ names on the benches, The suggestion of this plan was made of Gov. Major, promised to donate one. Contributions for the purpose will be received by Director of Public Welfare Tolkacz, in whose department the benches will de made. Drinking fountains for the public and watering places for animals will be in- stalled on the bridge next summer. To Speak at City Club.

Those who agree with him find it impossible to approve his intemperate utter- ances. The Colonel's criticiam of the President's out- line of the principles that should govern a league of peace is marred by gross misrepresentation. He seizes the phrase “peace without victory” and gives it a contemptible interpretation which is directly opposite to that intended by the Presi- dent—directly opposite to the meaning as the President actualy defined it in clear language. He classes Mr. Wilson with the tories of 1776 and the copperheads of 1864. He launches ‘he curse of Meroz” against him. No epithet is too vile for his use. He sums up the President's proposal in the following extraordinary sentence: Mr. Wilson asks the world to accept a cop- perhead peace of dishonor, a peace ‘without victory for the right, a peace designed to let wrong triumph, a peace championed in reutral countries by the apostles of timidity and reed. Every intelligent man who read Mr. Wilson's address knows that he meant the opposite. He himself defined the phrase as meaning a peace without a victor’s terms, that is, without the in- justice and humiliation which a conqueror fs in- clined to force upon the conquered. So far from advocating peace without right and “designed to let wrong triumph” nearly his whole address was | directed to the argument that peace is worthless without a foundation of right or with the triumph of wrong. He insisted that enduring peace could only be obtained on a basis of equal rights among nations—of justice to great and small. He op- poses conquest and pleads for the right of all na- tions to determine how they shall be governed. If Mr. Wilson’s attitude towards peace is to be compared with that of any men, it should be com- pared to the attitude of Lincoln and Grant in our Civil War. Both wanted the triumph of what they conceived to be right—the union and free- dom—but both stood against the victor’s terms. They wanted no penalty or vengeance visited on the South, but the restoration of equal rights in the Union. . Col. Roosevelt has a blind side. He is so strongly pro-ally that he cannot see any other cause. He assumes that the allies are right in all things and that Mr. Wilson is trying to cut them out of the fruits of victory. He assumes that the allies will win. But apply the Wilson principle to Germany’s objects—would they not cut out the wrongs that Col. Roosevelt charges against Germany? If Germany should win the] dismembered Aust ia. Wilson platform would be a rock of righteous- -- — —LL ness for the Colonel and his allies.

Ji The St. Louisans who are forming a syndicate to build an opera house on Lindell boulevard, opposite the St. Louis Club, deserve popular sup- port. We have had a great deal of talk about such an institution for a long time. Talk alone | never yet built an opera house or anything elee. These men have acted. They have come for- ward with a definite plan. They have put their own money into it. They are seeking ‘help and they should get it. ei There is a divérsity of opinion as to whether the location chosen is the most desirable for the purpose. Other sites have been suggested and each suggestion has had merit. The difference is that in the present case a site already has been procured and there are many things in its favor. As Edward A. Faust, the prime mover in the project, has pointed out, the location is in the heart ef the uptown amusement district, with un- surpassed street car and automobile facilities. Topographically it is one of the three highest points in the city. Lindell boulevard is the prin- cipal east and west boulevard, while, a block ‘away from the site, is Grand avenue, already a principal north and south thoroughfare. It — rapidly becoming a street of institutions, passing the St. Louis Club, the new Cathedral, Moolah Temple, the Columbian Club, many fine homes, the Jefferson Memorial, the principal entrance to Forest Park and leading to Washington Uni- versity. The proposed temple of music is not to be a thing built for a day, as Mr. Faust remarks, but is ts be a monument to the city’s progress. It 18 to have enough seats for the most ambitious con- certs ‘and spectacles, so that they can be brought within the reach of all the people. As yet the project is in the launching stage. Only an initial payment for the ground has been made. When the land is paid for the syndicate will take up the matter of subscriptions for the building. That abundant financial support will be forthcoiaing ought to be expected. Heirs of the late Adolphus Busch, it is believed, will be willing to revive his offer of a $50,000 gift towards an opera hoise, provided the city gave enough more to make it an institution worthy of St. Louis, ’ — — RA one He, „ nan; „ one FORE. . — .

P — — LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Resolutions of Ozecho-Slovaks. To the Editon of the Post-Dispatch. The following resolutions were adoptec Sunday at a mass meeting of Bohemian and Slovak nat- uralized Americans at the National Hall, Dolman street and Allen avenue: The Huropean war, with its millions of murdered men, cripples and innocent victims of militarism, millions of suffering orphans, and resultant bankruptcy and destitution of many small nations, clearly demonstrates the effect this horrible war will h:ve not only on the participating nations, but also the neutral nations as well. . For this reason, every individual, no matter to what nation or country he belongs, must be vitally interested in the outcome of this unreasonable struggle, and more so in the formation of terms under which peace is to do restored. It is not only a temporary peace to end this war we are all seeking, but a per- manent and everlasting one, which will end this war and make future wars impossible, To accomplish this desirable end it is nec- essary to abolish and forever remove all causes that promoted this war and that may lead to future conflicts. ; . Therefore, after hearing different speakers on the above subject, be it ‘resolved by the American citizens of Bohemian and Slavonic origin, as follows: 1. That the restoration of the original stat- us of all small states, that are intellectually and commercially capable of existence, and have sufficient number of inhabitants to on its responsibilities, is right and Just: - ' 2. That the principal object of the allied na- tions in demanding repartitioning of Euro- pean countries is just and desirable, because it is the sincere wish of every nation now in- _ volved} 3. That the absolute independence of Czechs and Slovaks is very essential for these ti nations, because the Austro-Hungarian Gov- , » ermment is projudiced against these nations and consequently incapable in ruling same. §f The Austrian rule has curtailed every forward . movement and taken advantage of the power over the small nations with treacherous cruel- . tv.

Yesterday’s riot of Mexican women at El Paso is typical. Because of a typhoid fever scare, health author- ities at the international boundary insisted that ‘all persons entering Texas from Mexico be re- quired to bathe. The order was aimed at a large number of women who live in Juarez but work as house servants in El Paso. With the news, irresponsible rumors were spread which drove them into a frenzy. They believed that they were to be plunged into some inflammable material; that American sol- diers would take photographs of them at their ablutions, So they tied up traffic on the inter- national bridge, wrecked trolley cars and mobbed conductors and motormen. The Mexican authori- ties are trying to quiet them through an arrange- ment whereby they can bathe in Juarez and cer- tificates that they have done so will be accepted by the American authorities. Notwithstanding this it is quite probable that the grandchildren of these women will de re- lating tales of the American ‘‘atrocity” of 1917. a i — Is the Colonel slipping? “Curse of Mero,“ eom- ing after Byzantine Logotiete,” doesn't seem to have the old nature-faker, Ananias-club punch. = = * PREPAREDNESS FOR PEACE OR WAR. With plenty of food in the country, there is hunger in Russian cities. With plenty of men and increasing numbers of guns, Russia’s armies have been handicapped by inability to get quick- ly to places where they were most needed. Sup- plies have congested at Viadivostock and Arch- angel when the need for them at the front was imperious. All of these things have been caused by one weakness—lack of proper means of distri- bution. It is quite easy to think that if Russia possessed a transportation system as efficient 7 1 r 112 8 S pags a ä 4 seat | 72 2 D amount ) ether —. a copy ere not; ve known pn was 1 8 1 ‘ of salar — bees se „„ „%% % „ „ „ „ „ „„ 6 „ 6 „ 6 & A citizen asked him why he did not spell out his first name and make the sign a little less embarrags- ing. : „That would only make it worse, said the mer- chant. „How is that?’’ asked the citizen. ‘*My first name is Adam, the merchant explained.

Cities of the present day are beginning to look toward the future. They realize that if they are to hold their places they must provide for the growth they expect. If we are to consider as visionary such projects as relate to industrial development, the planning and widening of streets, proper park facilities, rapid transit, and the orderly development of the city in general, then city planning has nothing in it for us. Will not the taxpayer benefit by such muntfcipal development? Will his property depreciate when conditions as to industry and. living compare favorably with those in the surrounding country and in other cities? Perhaps when he thinks over the real meaning of city planning: he will agree with those who believe that proper city planning win do more for St. Louis than anything else, and more particularly at the present time. ‘Take Jonescu, minister without portfolio in the Ru- The very badly groom.

How to Judge a Woman by Her Hair | : There is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman’s neatness, or’ good taste.

HO shall open the pay envelope— W husband or wife? Miss Rose McQuade believes the answer depends on how much is in it; that where a family is large and the. salary small, the wife should be the cus- todian and dispenser of the income. Miss McQuade, who has been Proba- tlon Officer in the Domestic Relations Court since its creation in New York in 1910, and who served seven years in other courts in that city prior to that time, has reconciled more warring hus- bands and wives than any other human being in New York City. She disagreeg with the men who have concurred in de- ciding that a husband should not be compelled to turn an intact pay envelope over to his wife. “They are wrong.“ Miss McQuade as- sured me. Where a man’s income is large it is best, perhaps, for him to ad- minister his own money and give his wife a liberal allowance for her person- al use, but where children are numerous and wages small he will do well to turn His envelope over to his wife, who can — — — — — — — CHILD GETS Se MN GONSTIPATED LOOK AT TONGUE!

Money Troubles in Families of Small Incomes, “The habit of giving the envelope tu the wife is universal among husbands and wives who seek redress from each other in this courtroom. Practically all our cases concern men earning less than $20 a week and the greater number with incomes of $12 and $15. All these men have been in the habit of taking their money home to their wives and receiving personal expenses. It is seldom that there is trouble over giving the envelope to the wife. Work- ingmen believe in that. The difficulty Comes when the man wants to borrow his money and the wife refuses to give it to him. There may be special cases where wives drink or are shiftless or extravagant, where the husbend should control the income, but in the very large majority of homes the mothers. are tarifty women whe have learned how to make a dollar go much further than a man, unskilled in buying, can make it go. Once a man gets into the habit of taking a dollar or two from his en- velope the money goes for drink and his children suffer for the necessities of life until the next payday.’’ I was glad to hear Miss McQuade speak a valiant word for the wives who have sought her for so many years in time of difficulty. Considered literally, the pay envelope problem is of interest only to men of small earning power. But there is practically no household in which husbands and wives have not dif- fered now and then about the expendi- ture of money. When Law Takes Cognizance of Woman’s Value. It has always seemed queer to me that the only time the law undertakes to say what a woman is worth to her husband is when she has Ceased to be worth anything at all to him—that is, when she sués him for separation or di- vorce. Prior to that evil hour the law permits this matter to depend on the generosity of the husband or the wife's powers of cajolery. In “The Revolt of thé Angels“ Anatole France says of his heroine, Gilberte, and the young Mau- rice, upon whom she has fixed her at- fections: “Like most Frenchmen, Mau- rice was careful of his money, but Giil- berte did not look upon this as a seri- ous fault, for she thought a charming woman should understand how to make men generous.”’ a I have never been able to associate the ideas of love and money, but this must be abnormal. There are women who feel a thrill over the first pay en- velope that the first’ kiss could never inspire. There are wives who resent the fact that a pay envelope has lost its bloom. ‘ihey think them with the freshness of a snow- flake, the purity of a dewdrop; that those particular dollars should have au ved themselves up ever since leaving the mint for the day a cashier thrust them into John Smith’s pay ‘envelope and John Smith placed them in his bride’s hands. Now, these women may be wrong. Very likely they are. Still, the notion is widespread. Mrs. F. X. B. expresses it in the following letter: This Woman Has Reetived Husband's Salary 10 Years. Dear Miss Greeley-Smith: - I have been married 10 years. During that time my husband, who now makes $40 a week, but who earned §% when I married him, has never failed to bring me his weekly Salary. If he should fail to do so now I would feel that something in our part- nership had changed and that he had no longer the trust in me which he has shown since the day we were married, When he made $25 I handed him back 8. out of which he paid his carfare, lunch- es and bought clothes. I put % a week in the bank and ran my home and dressed myself on what remained. Two children have come to us since, and be- Cause of that and increased living ex- penses I have not been able to put away more than $5 weekly, though my hus- band’s salary is now 840.

My husband’s brother put all his savings in his wife’s name, and after 15 years she divorced him and kept his savings. Once a man gets into the habit of taking first $1 and then $2 or more from his wages the wife never knows what she will have and the man is exposed to temptations of drink and gambling that he would not meet if he went directly home instead of stop- ping in the saloon. There is no reason why little children should go without clothes or food that men may put up a front of being independent before their friends. If they want to be independent let them remain bachelors and then no- body will suffer from their selfishness except themselves. MRS, F. X. B.“ Cheese Soup.

Arguments develop over most triv- ial ineidents in baseball, but there's one anent the “running out of line” going to first that is more popular than others. Billy Evans, the dean of the arbitrators, explains this, thusly: “Just how a runner must proceed to reach first base is not definitely made known in the rules. It is hardly via the bench. Major league umpires use common-sense judgment on such plays. If a runner after taking four or five 4 toward his bench dis- covers the ball has gottén away from the catcher, and runs to first, he is allowed that all right. However, any time a runner walks clear back to the bench before he notices or his team- mates awaken to the fact that the ball has gotten away from the catcher, the runner is declared out. There must be some limitation. Limberg in Racquet Final. In the semifinals of the champion- ship class in the annual Racquet tournament at the Racquet Club, Ed- die Limberg has defeated John H. Overall in straight sets, thereby qual- ifying for the final round, where he will play the winner of the Arthur Wear-S. M. Kennard Jr. match. The second portion of the semifinals will be played some time this week, the finals being set for Saturday afternoon. Limberg had a five-ace handicap against Overall's one-hand and won rather easily, 15—8, 15—2 and 15—2. For the uninitiated it might be satis- fying to know the method of apply- ing handicaps in racquets. An al- lowance of aces is the equivalent of points. Limberg, therefore, counted six after scoring his first point.

Prince Willo knew of a witch in the forest who possessed a wonder- ful power and en. change men into animals by the Wing of her hand, So to this old witch went Prince Wille and told her he wanted her to change Prince Nathol into a lion and to keep him In the forest forever. If Prince Willo would wed her ughter, the witch child, she would do as he wished her, but unless he married her daughter he could plead Twntil the moon turned black, and she would not grant it. Se Prince Willo promised be would wed the witch girl, for he thought, “I can run away and leave her as soon as her mother changes Prince Nathol believe] into the lion and they will never find 25 . * oe So the old witch made a wedding Ts * 2 eit og: 25 2 ae i cae Mie * 8 1 : + * 4 ae => - : 1 „ them and they were married in ag at midnight, and the next BY MRS. F. A. WALKER The Discarded Prince. day Prince Willo . enticed Prince Nathol into the forest to hunt. When they were by the cave of the witch Prince Willo gave a loud call and the old witch appeared, waving her hands and chanting a strange jumble of words. ‘ Prince Willo was so anxious that Prince Nathol should become a lion he hurried him toward the old witch, but in his hurry he stumbled and fell right in front of her. The spell fell upon the one nearest the witch, and so, instead of Prince Nathol becoming a lion, Prince Willo was changed into the wild beast. When the.old witch saw her mistake she ran at Prince Nathol and tried to hit him with her stick, but he escaped and ran back to the palace to tell the King what had happened to Prince Windo. f The old witeh could change only one man each day into a Least, and the only time he could be restored to his own shape was just as the moon was rising. But that night there was no moon and the old witch was powerless to help Prince Willo. When daylight came Prince Nathol returned to the forest with a large party of hunters and servants. He told them not to shoot any lion they might meet, but to capture it alive. Before the old witch or her daugh- — . 2 ter knew what had happened the men had surrounded the cave and bound both the witch and her daughter, so they could not move their hands or arms, and so destroyed their power. Prince Willo, who had all night kept as near the cave as he dared, when he saw the hunters ran and hid for fear they would shoot him, but when he saw Prince Nathol he knew he had come to save him, and he ran to the door of the cave. Prince Nathol saw him. “Do not fear, my friend, we have come to save you; this old witch shal) change you back to your own shape as soon as the moon rises tonight.” | Prince Nathol told the witch if she did not restore his friend to his own shape he would take her and her daugh- ter before the King and tell all the peo- ple about her wicked spell, When the witch heard this she be- gan to tremble, and said she would do as Prince Nathol asked that very night if the moon came up. Prince Willo lay by the door of the cave watching the tops of the tree for the moon to rise, and when he saw it he ran and threw himself before the | witch. Prince Nathol told the hunters to take the witch girl, and if the old witch did not do as she promised or tried to work her spell on anyone else, to carry the girl to the King. The old witch knew her child would be put to death if the King heard what she had done, so she quickly changed Prince Willo to his own shape, and then she told Prince Nathol that his friend was her daughter’s husband, and if he went away her daughter would go with him and become a Princess, and if he refused this she would change Prince Nathol Into a lion as she first intended to do. They kad bound the arms of the witch as soon as she changed the Prince to his own shape, so they were all safe from her magic power, and Prinée Wille * * * + was so ashamed of all he had done now that his friend had saved him he told all of his wicked plot to destroy Prince Na- thol and win the Princess for his bride. The old witch began to scream with rage when she heard that Prince Willo intended to run away from her daughter and marry the Princess. Prince Nathol saw her try to get something out of her pocket and told one of his servants. to see what she carried in her pocket, she was so anxious to get. When the servant looked he found a black toad, but the witch girl screamed to him to throw it on the ground, which he did, and it turned into a rock. “Now our power is gone,’ said the witch girl. Leave us. We can never harm anyone again. The biack toad was the magic that gave my mother power.“ The old witch seemed to grow smaller and smaller as the witch girl spoke, and when she had finished speaking the witch had disappeared. At the same time the witch girl changed, too; she was no longer the queer-looking witch girl, but a beautiful maiden, who was a Princess in disguise; and when Willo saw her he Said he would take her with him, and when Prince Natnol and the Prin- cess were married they would be mar- ricd again and have a real wedding if Prince Nathol would forgive him. Prince Nathol said he would, and so they left the forest, and the wedding took place next day. Prince Willo never did anything wick- ed again; he learned that the wicked deeds one plans to happen to others often fall on the one who plans them. (Copyright. 1917, by the McClure New Syndicate.
