LONDON, Feb. 7.—The sinking of 10 vessels with some loss of life is reported by Lloyd’s today. An official British statement issued today declares the Peruvian sailing ves- sel Lorton, while on a voyage from Cal- lao, Peru, was sunk by a German eub- marine Monday, inside Spanish terri- torial waters. The official announce- ment says: “The Peruvian bark Lorton, on.a pas- Sage from Callao, was sunk by an enemy submarine Monday inside Spanish terri- torial waters.”’ The vessels reported lost are: Saxon-Briton, British, 1337 tons: two] members of the crew were killed and the captain and 14 others landed. Azul, British, 3074 tons; 12 survivors rescued by a sailing vessel. Vestra, British, 1021 tons. Crown Point, British, 5218 tons. Ferruccio, Italian, 2192 tons. Two British steam trawlers. Two fishing boats. Two lives were lost from the British steamer Wartenfels, of 4511 tons, report- ed sunk yesterday, the agency also an- nounces. During the first six days of Germany’s ruthless submarine warfare, ending last night, the sinking of 36 vessels had been reported, against 18 vessels in the pre- ceding six days. Fourteen vessels were reported destroyed yesterday, the first following the expiration of the five days’ grace to neutrals. These figures indicate a marked in- tersification of the U-boat war. There is no certainty, however, that all these ships were sunk in the period given, as no dates are given in the reports, and it is possible that some of them were victims of mines. Of’the ships reported sunk in*the last six days 19 were neu- tral, and of these sunk yesterday, six were geutral. Table of Vessels Sunk.

Ninety- six of the passengers and crew were picked up at sea, and the captain was captured. The last report of the Port Adelaide’s movements was on Nov. 12 last, when she left Port Natal for Dazar, West Africa. The report concerning the sinking of the Bravalla says the crew was fired on by the submarine when it entered the boats. The admiralty announces that the crew of the British steamer Euphrates, the sinking of which was announced Feb. 1, has be2n landed at Gibraltar. j The Euphrates had delivered a cargu to the Belgian relief commission and was returning to the United States when she was torpedoed. The admiralty says there is only one survivor of the crew of the Lars, Kruss relief ship. No others ere known to have been saved. Crew of Sunken Steamer Think Sub- marine Was Destroyed. says that the crew of the Danish steam. Jan. 23, declare that, when the steamer went down, a French warship was ap- proaching. The submarine suddenly dived and they are convinced that, in sinking, the Klampenborg collided with and destroyed the submarine. The crew of thé Danish schooner Standard, also sunk on Jan. 23, declare that the German submarine which de- stroyed her flew the French flag. Sole Survivor of Belgian Relief Ship Landed in France. * LONDON, Feb. 7.—Walter Hines Page, the American Ambassador, has been notified that the sole survivor of the Belgian relief steamship Lars Kruse, which was sunk by a torpedo or mine near the Belgian coast on Monday has been landed in France. He telegraphed this report to Ambassador Sharp at Paris with the request that he get in touch with the survivor and forward his full account of the sinking of the relief vessel to the State Department at Washington. MAN CAUSES PANIC ON CAR AND IN HOTEL WITH TOY PISTOL He Says He Had Been Takftg Whis- key for Nepralgia—“Weapon” of Water Squirting Variety. George T. Morfatt of Boston, who says he is a Harvard graduate and who stops at the Aberdeen Hotel, Sixteenth and Market streets, was repentant in the holdover today when he was told how he created a panic on a street car and at the hotel yesterday afternoon by flourishing something which lodked like an automatic pistol. It was a toy’made to squirt water and not to shoot bullets. Moffatt said he couldn’t remember what happened, as he had been taking whisky in homeopathic doses to cure neuralgia. He recalled buying the ‘‘gun’’ to take the place of a water-shooting ring which he formerly used in playing practical jokes. On a Laclede car Moffatt pointed the “gun” at the conductor and at two: negro passengers. In the lobby of the Photel he flourished the gun at two p>- lice department detectives. A patrolman and the detectives took the “weapon”’ away from him. NINE PERSONS FINED $25 FOR EACH ANTI-SMOKE VIOLATION Judgment Is Stayed on Payment of Costs on Recommendation of the City.

M’QUILLIN'S APPOINTMENT TO SERVICE BOARD REJECTED Senate Combine Said to Want Wight. man in His Place, if Any Repub- -lican—Named by Major. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 7.—The Sen- ate in executive session this afternoon fejected the appointment of former Judge Eugene McQuillin, Republican, of St. Louis, to be a member of the Mis- souri Public Service Commission. McQuillin was appointed by Gov. Ma- jor in April, 1915, for a term expiring April 15, 1921. His name was among tne vacation appointments sent in by Gov. Major soon after the Legislature con- vened. It is understood here that an effort is being made to induce Gov. Gardner to appoint Frank Wightman, formerly a member of the commission, but now }.superintendent of safety of the Frisco Raflroad, in McQuillin’s place. The rejection was décided upon by members of the “old guard,” who are said to be determined that if any Reput- lican’ succeeds McQuillin it must be Wightman. President Wilson Plays Golf.

LOUIS’ STILL IN FORT Delay Costly to Remitters of Large Sums of Money in Her Mail Bags. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—The Intérna- tional Mercantile Marine today sent out instructions to its agents throughout the country requesting them to cease book- ing passengers on American line ships. The following circular~* was sent to agents in all cities: “Present situation makes it necessary to reconsider the sailing dates of Amer- ican. line steamers, and until thig is settled, please stop booking passengers of all classes.’’ Announcement of this action came soon. after publication of a statement from the State Department that no con- voy would -be provided for American ships bound through the German war zone. Bankers and business interests com- plained to the postal authorities today that the delay in the sailing of the American liner St. Louis was costing them’ large sums in interest charges. Remittances amounting to millions of dollars in drafts are in the St. Louis’ mail sacks, ‘it was declared, and the interest charges already had become so large as to be a burden on the senders. Edward M. Morgan, Postmaster, said there was no way of relieving the sit- uation. The St. Louis carries mail un- der Government. cortract. The de@sion of the Standard Oil com- ranies to keep in port all their. ships en- gaged in transatlantic service will af- fect about 73 vessels.

The Espagne from Bordeaux and the Tuscania from Liverpool are expectéd to arrive here today and sail again Satur- day. The Cunard Line has discontinued the practice of making public lists of rersons engaging passage on its vessels. CONVOY WILL NOT BE PROVIDED FOR LINER ST. LOUIS WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The American liner St. Louls will not be given a con- voy if she desires to sail for England through the German submarine zone, it was announced at the State Department today. The Government is acting on the policy that Americans have an inalienable right to traverse the high seas; that the Ger- man submarine blockade is entirely il- legal, and that any sinking of American ships in contravention of law would im- mediately lead to hostilities. A statement of the position of the Government on the sailing of American vessels is being drawn up at the State Department, but will not be made pub- lic here, although it may be made pub- lic by ship owners receiving it. It its understood to be President Wilson’s de- sire not to have the Government appear to go out of its way to make an official public announcement on the question. It is also stated that as yet no ship pers have made “a direct request’’ for a convoy. It is understood, however, that the quéstion has been discussed informally and that it has been learned that there are not enough American war vessels available to convoy the whole American merchant marine ply- ing through the war zone. Today’s announcement is understood to mean that the United States is going ahead as though the German blockade order had not been issued, and that no preparations, stich as convoying or arm- ing, will be adopted. It rests with Ger many to commit the overt act that President Wilson has said would lead to war. RAIN OR SNOW PROBABLE; COLDER, WITH FRESH WINDS THE TEMPERATURES.

In the last three days 11 have asked for final citizenship papers, all nationals of the central empires. One German applicant for final papers said ‘ ‘George Washingtcn’”’ made the laws, and was astounded that Washington was dead. Another, Jacob Beiswanger, 54 years old, 4405 Manchester avenue, who had lived in this country 10 years without applying for his first citizenship pa- pers, said his first wife, a German, wouldn’t let him apply. “Now I’ve got a good American girl for a wife,’ he said. ‘‘And she told me to be natural- ized right away.’’ — or Klos, 51, of Grand avenue and Wuniata street, who said he resided in St. Louis 31 years, asked for first papers, sayifig: “I’m done with the Kaiser.’ Otto F.. Kohler, 21 years old, a watch- maker, of 2131 Gravois avenue, who cams here from Munich seven years ago, said if he had remained in Germany he would still be what he was when he left, a teamster. Former Naval Officer Applies. Oscar von Scheven, 27 years old, of 7108 Delmar boulevard,. who said he was formerly an officer in the German navy, filed his intention of becoming a citizen. “If war comes,” he said, “I'll stick to this country.”’ Marion Wachowiak, 538 Waterman avenue, assistant managing editor of the German language newspaper, a ca,"" who filed his first papers is the tallest man ever measured at the naturalization office. His height is 6 feet 5 inches. He said he was exempted from military service in Ger- many because of heart trouble. Many of the applicants could speak littie or no English, and some could write their names only in German. An Austrian remembered the date he ar- rived in St. Louis because he found the saloons closed, and was informed it was St. Louis’ first dry Sunday under the Folk regime, sie Spee i -~- iPr nn cette ON = RIE TIS EEO BOPP’S BAIL INCREASED, HE MAY 60 TO JAIL Attorney for Convicted German Con- sul at San Francisco Intimates Bond Cannot Be Raised.

Not a Step Against United States. It was disclosed that on Monday the State Department sent a long dispatch giving the plans worked out for the safe departure of the former German Ambassador and his suite. Any plans German officials might have enter- tained to restrain the departure of Ger- ard were then, of course, dropped. The German Government's action is believed to have been more in the nature of a move to compel a safe return of Count vor Bernstorff through the allied block- ade rather than any step against Ger- ard or the United States. Owners of the Scandinavian liner Frederik VIII on which 200 reservations have been made for the German consular and diplomatic corps, have asked the State Department to have the vessel ex- amined by the British authorities at Halifax, instead.of at Falmouth, in or- der to make it possible to avoid passing through the German war zone. If this is done the vessel will be able to take the northern route around the north of Scotland, avoiding virtually all the Ger- man submarine zone and the British mine fields. Whether Halifax might Begs. become the port of call instead lof Falmouth, opens many interesting questions. Switzerland Takes Up Work. Minister Ritter of Switzerland today was instructed by his Government to take over German diplomatic interests in the United States, including the German embassy here and 12 consulates through- | out the country. The Minister informed the State Department of his Govern- ment’s action in a note. Swiss legation officials will move into the German embassy building when Count von Bernstorff and his staff de- part. Instructions have been sent to Swiss Consuls to take over the German con- sulates in the following cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, New ‘Or- leans, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, &t. Paul and Manila. Special arrangements are being, made | ‘war. Although no word came from Ambassador Gerard himself, om from American Minister Stovall at Berne, the State Department interpreted Willard’s dispatch as indicating that Gerard had left Berlin and gotten as far as the Swiss capital. The fact that Gerard was not expected to leave Berlin before Sunday, coupled with the possibility that he may have sent a dis- patch to Berne to be transmitted to Ambassador Willard, makes it possible, however, that Gerard has not left Germany, but wee: expect further advices during the day. taken over by the Swiss, no soottuening do so having been contained in the ine structions received by Minister Ritter.. Congress and all executive depart- ments of the Government were pro- gressing today in their preparations for any eventuality. Allies Hope U. 5S. Will Keep Ont. Tt is this activity which has surprised entente diplomats and caused them to- Gay to emphasize their hope that the United States will not actually go to They fear a declaration of war would harm the entente cause by stop- ping the export of munitions. The State Department hopes to re« ceive early replies from some neutrald to President Wilson's proposal that they join the United States in severing rela- tions with Germany. A break with Austria seems to depend mainly on the reply of Ambassador Pen- field at Vienna to the State Depart ment’s inquiries concerning details of the Austrian submarine note which of- ficials now admit has been received.

Brarilian Note to Germany on Sub- marines Outlined. RIO JANEIRO, Feb. 7.—According to _ authoritative information the Brazilian note to Germany, which, it is officially _announced, has been dispatched to the Rrazilian Minister at Berlin, protests against the violation of international law involved in the submarine blockade and points out that such a blockade sc could, if effective, close the entire high _ seas, @ situation which could not be per- ‘hitted. The note protests, by anticipa- tion, against any hostile act from which a Brazillan merchant ship should suffer “py virtue of the blockade and holds _ Germany responsible for such acts. Dr. Lauro.

Articles published in the newspapers of the Argentine have caused surprise in political circles here. O’Raiz says: “The Argentine press ““thows us that there exists a neutral ’'‘eountry which has received with un- ‘expected obstructions the dignified -eourse of President Wilson. We refused to believe that this press reflects the sentiment of the noble Argentine na- tion. We fail to believe that there can be in America a single country which _9pefrains from solidifying itself with the United States. To attempt to avoid facing the situation at this moment is to commit a grave error.” The Bolivian Minister visited Dr. Lau- _yo Muller yesterday and informed him that Bolivia supported without reserve e American policy. ? i Pere Has Not Yet Settled on Its Submarine Policy.

LOUIS~POST- DISPATCH 31 SHIPS DISABLED AT NEW YORK BY TEUTONS trian Vessels Have 4000 Members of Crews of German and Aus- Disappeared, U. S. Officials Announce. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Evidence that the 31 German and Austrian ships self- detained in this port have been disabled and that most of their crews left them prior to the placing of a guard over the ships by the customs authorities on Sun- day, is in possession of Federal officials, it was authoritatively learned today. Vital parts of the machinery in each ship have been removed or damaged, the Federal authorities have learned, since the last trip of inspection by the neutrality squad last week. The dam- age was done, they believe, on Satur- day, the day the United States broke off relations with Germany. The cus- toms authorities were on that day re- fused permission to go below decks on the vessels. The ships are so badly damaged that six or eight months will be required for repairs. Figures made public today by Govern- ment investigators show that more than 4000 members of the crews have van- ished. Whereas, there were 5460 offi- cers and men aboard the vessels at the outbreak of the war, there are now only 1194. U. S. NOT SEIZING GERMAN VESSELS Damaged Ships Only Taken Over to Prevent Injury to Harbors or Shipping. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—In line with its policy of doing nothing to force fur- ther strained relations with Germany, it was reiterated today that the admin- istration is taking the greatest care to see that no right of any foreign Govern- ment or foreign property is violated. It was added that the Government no- where seized German shfps or claimed title of any sort to them. It was authoritatively declared on be- half of the administration that the only action taken has been to put vessels and their crews under such guard and pro- tection as to prevent anything being done which would obstruct navigation or in any other way violate the laws to which they would in any case be subject. Only the necessary precautions, it was said, are being taken against violations of the law of any sort. Secretary Baker gave our ing statement: “In the harbors of Manila and else- where in the Philippine Islands and at Colon, the German merchant vessels were discovered to have had certain parts of their machinery removed and in some instances evidences of prepara- tion for the sinking of _— vessels had been made. - “Solely for the purpose of protecting the several harbors and other shipping and property therein, steps have been taken to prevent damage, but none of the ships have been seized by the Gov- ernment of the United States, and in all ‘cases the commanders and crews have been informed that the Government of the United States had made no seizures, claims no right to the vessels, and does not.deny the right of the commanders and crew to dismantle the vessels if they see fit so long as the destruction is accomplished in a way which will not obstruct navigable port waters or injure or endanger other shipping or property. “The ‘breach of diplomatic relations between the Governments of the United States and Germany has not changed the relations of these ships or their crews to the Government of the United States or forfeited their right to our hospitality, and the steps taken are lim- fhe follow- ited to necessary police regulations to | prevent injury to the property of others or the obstruction of harbor waters.” Damage in Philippines. An official report received here says évery one of the 17 war-bound German merchant ships examined by Ameri: can officials at Philippine ports since the break with Germany has been so badly damaged by their crews that six months or more would be required to make any of them seaworthy. Of the 23 vesels tied up in the islands, all but six have been inspected. So widespread and thorough has been the concerted disabling of German ships in American perts that some officials think it could be explained only ny a blanket order from Berlin. It is sug- gested that such instructions might have gone forward early in the war or might even have been issued as a stan4- ing order before the war to cover such an exigency as has arisen. There has been no indication, however, that tha American Government has authentic in- formation on the subject. U. S&S. Might Not Use Ships. It is explained the policy of the Gov- erfment -is to make no use of these ships, even if war comes. It was saii authoritatively that there had been no decision even to take over the ships in the event of war. The net result, therefore, of damage to the war-bound ships will be the ex- pense and delay for repairs their own- ers tnust bear before they can get intu the rush for after-the-war trade. Offi- cials here Relieve the damaging of the big German merchant fleet in the Pa- cific wil! offer Japan an opportunity she will not be slow to take to put herself at least six months ahead of Germany in the trade strvggle in those waters. To Avoid Commercial Taint. The basis of the administration’s po- sition, it is stated, is President Wilson’s determination so to conduct the affairs of the nation that no taint of commer- cialism can attach to the Government’s action, if it is drawn into war. He is anxious that no ground be yiven for charges that a desire for acquisition of German merchant ships, admittedly of inestimable value for establishment of an adequate American merchant ma- rine, was in any way a factor in the situation. The damaged German boats in the Philippines probably will await repair- ing for a considerable period. There are few facilities for repairing them in the islands. Prosecution Deeided Upon in Case of Damage to Kronpriuzessin Cecilic. BOSTON, Feb. 7.—The refugee German steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilie, built at a cost of $4,600,000, has been rendered useless for four months by the disabling of her engines, it has been discovered by Capt. John B. Cocyle, an engineer of the United States coast guard service. He reported to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrew J. Peters that his examination indicated a deliberate at- tempt to cripple the liner. Tine cylinders of the two high-pressure engines, @ecording to information from an authoritative source, were found to have been destroyed. A piece of steel about three feet long was cut out of each cylinder, rendering the engines useless, and boltheads, fastening the cylinder heads, were knocked off. Because the machinery was made in Germany, it was said that the damaged parts could not be duplicated here, and to use the steamer it would be necessary to install new engines. As a result of the discoveries, a de- cision was reached to attempt criminal prosecution of those who may be found responsible for the damage. ———s Preliminary declaration of War. | Senator Works, in his speech, said he did not question the good faith of the President, and gave him credit for ‘‘cor. scientious motives and patriotic pur- poses,”” but protested “against this or any other movement that tends toward war with Germany for no greater cause than has yet been given us. “IT insist,’”’ said the Senator, after re- viewing the German negotlations and the President's determination to uphold American rights on the seas, “that neither a private concern nor the Presi- dent nor Congress can be justified in driving this nation into war or endan- gering its peace by any. such false sense of courage or nationalprestige, or dig- nity. * Reviewing the Lusitania case at length and branding it as a cruel and unjust wrong to our people and to the na- tion, the Senator said it was well to consider how far ‘‘we ourselves, by our course of action, contributed to this logs of American lives.”’ “Our Government knew what was threatened, but we allowed the ship to sail, carrying American citizens into BETTER THAN CALOMEL Edwards’ Olive Tablets are e Harmless Substitute Dr, Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous.

RULER CLAD AS ADMIRAL, Refers to War Aims as Outlined to United States — Foreign Press Given Place in Gallery. LONDON, Feb. 7.—King George, in opening Parliament today. said that the response of the allies to the invitation of the President of the United States outlined their aims as far as could be done at present. The King added: “Threats of further outrages upon public order and the common rights of humanity serve to steel our determina- tion.”’ Noa of Naval Pomp. The opening of Parliament, always picturesque, was shorn of much of its color and pomp. The peers wore none of the customary robes and regalia. The King was clad in the uniform of an Ad- miral of the fleet and all the Lords and members of the House of Commons who are entitled to wear either khaki or navy blue followed the example of the King. There were also other innova- tions in keeping with the time or war. The imperial escort consisted of officers of the overseas fighting force. The royal gallery in the House of Lords was set apart for wounded sol- diers. For the first time in the history of Parliament the importance of the for- eign press was recognized by the allot- ment of seats in the press gallery to. correspondents from allied and neutral countries. The weather was clear and crisp ana as the royal procession passed from, Buckingham Palace to the House of. Parliament dense crowds lined the streets. King George’s Speech. King George's speech follows: “For the third time in succession I summon you to your deliberations in the midst of war. Certain overtures of which you are aware have been made hy the enemy with a view to opening neace negotiations. Their tenor, however, in- dicated no possible basis of peace. My people throughout the: empire and my faithful and heroic allies remain stead- fastly and unanimously resvu'ved tq secure the just demands for r2pareation and restitution in respect of the past and guarantees for the future which we regard as essential to the Prog cess of civilization. h “In response to an invitat'»n by the President of the United States of Amer- ica we have outlined, so far as san be done at present, the general cbjects necessarily implied by these aims. “Threats of further outrages upon humanity will but serve to steel our de- termination more.

Accomplishment of the task to which I have set my hand will entail unsparing demands on the energies and resources of my subjects. I am assured, however, that my people will respond to every call necessary for the success of our cause with the same indomitable ardor and devotion that has filled me with pride and gratitude since the war began.

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE Governor Expected to Stump State in Interest of His Pro- gram of Reform Laws. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 7.—Gov. Gardner’s program of progressive leg- islation, including revenue measures to rescue the State from a condition of constructive bankruptcy and measures to place the conduct of State institu- tions on a business tnstead of a polit- ical spoils basis, virtually ts dead. The Governor is preparing ‘to carry to the voters of the State a message placing the responsibility upon the Republicar, minority in the House and the “Old Guard’ in the Senate. From present indications the only Gardner measures which Will be passed by the Legislature are those providing for an increase in saloon licenses, for a license tax on spirituous Hquors, ani for a tax on the capital and surplus of corporations. Measures Apparently Dead. The measures which apparently’arens dead as if a final vote killing them ha‘ been taken, include those providing for an inheritance tax, an income tax a mortgage recording tax, a secure debt tax, a license tax on soft drinks, a State Tax Commission, a constitution- al convention, penitentiary reform, workmen’s compensation and a central hoard of control for eleemosynary insti- tutions. The defeat of these measures can only mean that the Governor, if he car- ries out his promise during the cam- paign to use his every endeavor to place the State on a sound business basis, will be required to call an extra session of the Legislature and confine its dusiness# to revenue-producing measures and th. reform bills which he recommended in his message. The Board of Control of proposal for eleemosynary institutions probably will be defeated in the House through the influence of the members of Boards of * Managers of the various institutions, nearly all of whom are opposed to the measure because it would legislate them out of their jobs. ‘The spirit of opposition in the Senate to the Governor’s program is based by some of the Senators in private conver- sations or the Governor’s failure to take them into his confidence and consult with them regarding matters of legisla- tion. There is no doubt he could have obtained passage in some form of nearly all of his measures if he had been willing to privately discuss his pro- gram with the members of the com- bine which controls the Senate and make «uch concessions as they might demand. In an extra session the Legislature ould consider only matters mentioned by the Govemor in his call, and thus there would be no danger of clogging of the calendar of either the House or Senate. It is by the introduction of many bdills that the calendar becomes «logged and meritorious measures fail to pass simply because they are not reached: In many instances the busi- ness of the Senate is so regulated that measures which influential members de- sire tu kill are delayed until they taks a niace so far down on the calendar that they are nct reached. it is understood here that the Gov- ernor intends to call the Legislature into special session within a short time after the adjournment of the regular session in the middle of March, afid that he in- tends in the interval between the regu- jer and extra sessions to make speeches in eight or ten sections of the State ex- plaining where the responsibility for the failure of his measures lie, for the pur- pose of arousing a public sentiment to hack his program in the extra session. The Governor has not given up hope of action in the regular session, but those informed in the ways of experi- enced legislators understand that his hope is due to his inexperience in legisla- tive affairs. A correspondent of the Post-Dispatch learned from several of the more expe- rienced members of the Senate that there is aimost no possibility of the more important of the measures receiv- ing favorable action. Not all of them are to be killed outright. The ingenous ‘method of so amending bills that they will fail to accomplish the purpose in- tended will be employed in some in- stances.

SIGNS OF CHINA ON THE NEW SPRING HATS Extreme Fashions Contain Row of Chinese Alphabet Char- acters Around Crown. may be seen Washington new Many signs of China by one who strolls along avenue to look at the women's spring hats displayed in the shop win- dows. The Chinese influence so affects all millinery styles this season that it is not unusual to see a gorgeously dec- orated bonnet bearing around the crown a row of Chinese alphabet characters which translated might make the best contribution yet to the ‘Just a Min- ute’ sign hunters’ column. A visit to a few wholesale y houses convinced a reporter that the Chinese styles are going to be very popular this spring, otherwise millinery some manufacturers are going to lose a lot of money invested in strange oriental- looking head ornaments. One -Washing- ton avenue house has fitted up on its second floor a Chinese room where the new hats are displayed in an appropri- ate setting to the visiting buyers. There is a Chinese matting on the floor, Chinese tapestries on the walls, ornaments of: Oriental handicraft here and there and incense burning in a glazed pottery jar. An American girl with black hair, dark eyes and fine features poses as a Chinese beauty, dressed in rich robes from beyond the Pacific, and acts as hostess to the visit- ors. All around are hats—varied Oriental] creations—any of which a sister beauty. in typical American summer dress, will place upon her head to be observed by the visiting style dictators of many communities. There is no predominat- ing color, all hues being indiscriminat- ingly mixed, but a distinctive shape is an imitation of the Chinese coolle or Mandarin hat, a conical thing some- thing like a tent top. It is of straw, but other shapes are of silk and crepe, variously stamped with bright colored dragons, birds and grotesque figures. Bead ornaments woven in Chinese de- signs are on many of the hats. Some have Chinese brass coins dangling from little tassels. Colors are intermingled in fanciful figures on some, green, red, vel- low, blue, gold, purple—all in one hat. Parasols to match are provided for some of the most striking hats and will be quite the thing next summer, the milliners say. Early orders for these hats have been Winter is a hard season for those who have no stored up reserve of strength.

MISS VISCONTI TOBE CALLED IN LEAK INQUIRY Will Be Questioned as to Report That She Said Tumulty Was “‘Go-Between.”’ WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The Congres- sional Leak Investigating Committee continued today its inquiry with the question of concluding the hearings stili undetermined. Democratic committeemen are said to believe that a “leak” of President Wil- son's peace note has been established through admissions of J. Fred Essary and W. W. Price, Washington newspaper men, that. they furnished forecasts of the note to New York and Chicago brok- ers. The Republican committeemen, on the other hand, are urging continuation of the inquiry and complete examination of Miss Ruth Thomson Visconti, who ig alleged to have stated to Thomas W. Lawson that Mr. Price acted as a “go- between” for Secretary Tumulty “‘and others’ in Wall street deals. She will be called to the witness stand. Malcomb R. McAdoo, a brother of Secretary McAdoo, hotly denied ‘at the inquiry today that he ever acted as a ““go-between’’ for the Secretary and C€, D. Barcy & Co., New York brokers, in a Wall street deal as reported +o the committee by Thomas W. Lawson. Criticizes the Newspapers. McAdoo declared most of the newspa- pers probably would not print his de- nial as they were “too anxious to libel somebody.”’ J. L. Butler of the local brokerage firm of J. L. Wdwards, testified that on Dec. 20, Walter P. Ramsey, a local in- vestor, told him that F. A. Connolly & Co. had a “tip’’ on the coming peace note. He said Ramsey alleged the *“tip’’ was on Connolly’s board. W. B. Hibbs, a local broker, testified that his house paid N. O. Messenger, a reporter on-the Washington Star, “not to exceed’’ $100 a month during sessions of Congress for advising them of cur- rent events at the Capitol. When Con- sress was in recess Hibbs said Messen- ser was not paid regularly and if he received anything at all it was a nom- inal amount. Search for an explanation of the dua] Claims of Essary and F. A. Connolly to the authorship of the Connolly house forecast of the peace'note brought the assertion from H. W. Robertson, one of Connolly's partners, yesterday, that he believed Connolly must have’ copied Essary’s forecast and duplicated it in a message to E. F. Hutton & Co. Con- nolly has testified that he composed the message from ‘‘gossip and rumors.”’ Both Robertson and R. W. Bolling, a *brother-in-law of President Wilson and also a partner of Connolly, who pre- ceded Robertson on the witness stand, ? ‘ declared they did not know of the fore- cast having been sent from their office, when on last week Connolly testified in New York that he wrote it. Bolling in- sisted as Edwin N. Roper, the Connolly firm’s telegraph operator previously had testified, that as soon as he learned of the Essary message that he insisted that Roper go before the committee and tell the whole truth. Walter P. Ramsey, a local investor. told the committee that he was the real cause of Roper testifying. Upon read- ing Cunnollys New York testimony, Ramsey said, he decided it was untrue, so he took Bolling into a room, locked the door, told him that he was being made the goat and that if he (Bolling) did not get the trtuh fore the con:- mittee, he would. Essary, recalled, pointed out several inconsistencies in his forecast of the note and the note itself. Maas AD MAN ACCUSED OF GETTING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENSES J. M. Dooley Says Gale Merrick Got Him to Subscribe to “Press Club Banquet.” Gale Merrick, 33 yéars old, of the Brevort Hotel, an advertising solicitor, was arrested last night on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses from Joseph M. Dooley, an insurance agent in the La Salle Building. Dooley told the police that Merrick met him Mon ‘lay and said that he rep- resented the Press Club of St. Louis, which was going to give a Press Club banquet at $ a plate. Merrick, Dooley explained, said that he would like for him to take five plates, which Dooley said he did. Dooley said that a check was giver to Merrick. He said that shortly after- ward he telephoned to the Press Club and found that no such dinner was being planned. He said he ordered the check stopped, but it had already been cashed at the Planters Hotei. Merrick, when seen by a reporter, said that he approached Dooley, and remind- ing him that, as one of the ’’famous Dooley twins,’’ he had secured much pleasant publicity when his engagement was recently announced, suggested that he should show his appreciation by giv- ing ‘‘a little dinner to a couple of the newspaper boys.’’ Merrick said that he was one of the first solicitors employed by the Press Club when it was organized several years ago. ‘‘Some newspaper men here organized it, but I did the work and got the money to put on the first carnival,’’ he explained. He said that ‘by getting the money’”’ he meant soliciting for the Press Club. Robbed While on Auto Ride. William A. Meyers, a salesman, of Jackson, Tenn., stopping at the Pontiac Hotel, told the police that he was robbed of $30 while automo- bile riding with three men and two women last night. One woman 3nd two mén. were arrested. They denied having taken the money.

Man ORK, 43 PER CENT INCREASE. 1 IN AUTO KILLINGS Coroner’s Report for 1916 Shows Gain Over 1915—14 Ver- dicts of Criminal Carelessness. ° An increase of 43 per cent in the num- ber of automobile killings, a small in- crease in the number of homicides, and a decrease of 23 per cent in the number of suicides, is shown by the Coroner's report for 1916, as compared with that of 1915. The report was sent to the May- or today by Coroner Vitt, who took office in November, but who included the entire year in ths report. Sixty-nine deaths were caused by auto- mobile accidents in 1916, aecording to the report, and in 14 cases verdicts of crim- inal carelessness were returned. there was 48 automobile killings and 5 verdicts of criminal carelessness. Cases in which a street car had a part in the accident are not listed as automobile ac- cidents. There were 525 accidental deatiis from all causes in 1916, as compared with 429 in 1915. There was 207 suicides, as against 268 in 1915. Of the suicides, 116 were married, 6 single, 16 widowed, four divorced and six unknown as to marital status. Seventy-four killed themselves with poison, which, in 57 cases was carbolic acid, and in four cases was bichloride of mercury. In 1915, there were 155 sui- cides by poison, of which 100 were by carbolic acid and 6 by bichloride. Last year’s homicides numbered 13, which was 10 more than the 1915 rec- ord. The largest record of any previous year was 118 in 1906. Twenty-eight deaths resulted from street railway accidents last year, one more than in 1915. The deaths in steam railroad accidents were 51, as compared with 26 in 1915. - This large increase is not explained by any single accident of magnitude... The total number of in- quests conducted by the Coroner !n 1916 was 1960, and in 1915 it was 1625. SEVEN YEARS FOR ROBBER WHO HELD UP GROCERY STORE Robert Burns, one of three men who robbed Mrs. George Walker of her jew- elry in her husband’s grocery store at 2848 Franklin avenue at noon,, April 21 last, pleaded guilty in Judge Rassjeur’s court today. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for seven vears, this settlement of the case being made on recommendation of the Circuit Attor- ney’s office. Burns, accerding to Mrs. Walker, held a revolver near her head while hig two companicns took her jewelry, in- cluding earrings. James Regan, 4 years old. of 1821 South Broadway, charged with being one of the robbers, went to trial tolay. Elmer Barens, accused of being the third robber, later murdered Aaron Johnson, a motcrman, and is now under a 40-year penitentiary sentence for that crime, but he will be tried for the robbery also.

B//\\e SERVICE IS WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1917. ~ CAMPAIGN FOR UNIVERSAL OPENED HERE “ Representatives of National League Are in the City to Advocate Support of the Chamberlain Bill. Two representatives of the Universal Military Training League, whose motto is “America Ready is America Safe,” are in St. Louis to spread knowledge of the meaning of universal military train- ing and create interest in the Chamber- lain bill, pending in Congress, which would provide for such training. They are Richard Fairchild, the league’s pub- licity director, and William T. Simpson, one of its field secretaries, The league is a voluntary organization having among its supporters some of the leading business men of the country. The president is Howard H. Gross of Little of Cleveland, and the secretary, John J. Mitchell of Chicago. Some oth- er members are E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe Railroad; Cyrus H. K. Chicago, the vice president, Bascom | rus H. McCormick, George W. Perkins and Robert Bacon. To Solicit Support Here. Fairchild and Simpson plan to visit the heads of large manufacturing, mer- cantile and industrial establishments in St. Louis and attempt to enlist their support in the campaign of education being carried on. These concerns will be asked to assist in the distrfbution of thousands of folders, setting forth the advantages of universal training, by in- closing one with each letter sent out. The plan of the Chamberlain bill which is approved by the Universal Military Training League provides for a short period of intensive training for all men in their nineteenth year. The folder sets forth that this plan would supply the United States with 600,000 trained citi- zens a year. Other arguments for it are that it will teach the young man self-respect, promote physical and moral lee on North Carolina Sounds, | NAG’S HEAD, N. C.,.

Office in London; Disa- greement on Ship Route. LONDON, Feb. 7.—Categorical assur- ances from the German Government that it does not intend to interfere with the feeding of civilians in Belgium and Northern France, have been received at the local office of the Belgian Relief Commission. Under these assurances, it was stated, the American agents on the commission may remain in the occupied zones unless war is declared and in that event they would receive safe conduct, It also was stated that in event of war between the United States and Germany the organization would continue its ex- istence, but would discontinue the work of distributing supplies, limiting itself to unloading cargoes in Rotterdam, at which point they would be turned over to some neutral Government to be dis- tributed.

Her Baby Well Dr.Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is a Dependable Family Laxative. | Nearly all the sickness incident to a baby’s life is due to constipation, or inaction of the bowels. At the first indication of irregularity in this important function, relief should be afforded promptly. A mild laxative should be administered to gently carry off the congested waste and leave the stomach and bowels free to perform their allotted tasks. Of the various remedies recom- mended to relieve constipation, the combination of simple laxative yerbs with pepsin, as prescribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald- well’s Syrup Pepsin, is the most ef- fective. It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the taste, mild and gentle in action, and quickly brings the desired relief in an easy, natural manner. Mrs. C. J. Douglas, Mason, IIl., writes that she cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep- sin as a dependable family laxative. Little Mary Eva had bei. badly con- stipated until they tried Dr. Cald- well’s Syrup Pepsin, which brought the first natural relief the child had had in two weeks. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere.and costs only fifty cents a bottle. To avoid imitations and ineffective substi- tute. be sure to ask for Dr. Cald- well’s Sy.up Peps::. See that a fac- simile of Dr. Caldwell’s signature and his portrait appear on the yel- lew carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W.

L Hawes, in Speech in Committee, Denounces Organization for- Political Activity. “SAMPLE BALLOT’ SHOWN E. V. P. Schneiderhahn Supports Measure as Representative of Taxpayers’ Federation. Ey a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 7.—The House Committee on Criminal Jurispru- dence last night voted to report favor- ably Represeatative Hawes’ bill to pro- hibit the publication and circulation of anonymous campaign circulars such as are issued by the Independent Voters’ League in St. Louis prior to each elec- tion. The league has been exposed by the Post-Dispatch during the past year as a secret grafting organization that seeks to prevent the election of mem- bers of the Catholic church to public office. ' The bill was amended in the commit- tee to meet objections raised by repre- sentatives of the Anti-saloon League and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union that it would require the filing of a complete list of contributors to their organizations and a statement of expen- ditures before they could do any adver- tising. Hawes consented to the amend- ments. “The object of House bil] number 361 is to prevent the attack upon candidates for office by means of anonymous circu- lars and letters,’’ Hawes said. “There are various grafting organiza- tions and individuals in this State who, under different designations, attempt to recommend or oppose candidates for of- fice. Their communications, addressed to individuals, to the press, and circu- lated in the State, are unsigned. “In the city of St. ‘Louis one of these organizations, the Independent Voters’ League, does not sign its communica- tions, does not give the address of its office nor the names of its officers, and yet assumes the right to attack candi- dates for office on religious grounds. he). he) ee ee H “It not only attempts to prevent the election of Catholics to public office but, in addition, attempts to defeat Protes- tants by charging that they are Cath- olics. “The whole object of this organizatior is totally repugnant to American insti- | tutions, in violation of the spirit of our | Declaration of Independence and the! Constitution of the United States, which . guarantees to every man the right to | worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. “If the objects of this organization were merely fanatical it would be bad enough; but, in addition to that, they are apparently venal grafters who go outside of the question of religion and, for ulterior purposes. falsely charge Protestants with being Catholics or Catholics with being Protestants. ‘‘Men who assume the right to criti- cize or guide the public in public af- fairs should have the courage to sign their names and assume responsibility for their statements. “Every man in public life and every newspaper assumes this responsibility. Every member of the Legislature is compelled to stand out in the open and fall or rise by his public declarations. There is no honest reason why any man, or set of men, should hide behind a wall of secrecy unless the character of the men or the objects of the orgnization are such that they will not bear public inspection. “From dark cellars and hidden places. and from the slime of cowardice, with the twitching fingers of graft, come these letters that fear the light, aim- ing their shafts at the most sacred in- stitution of America’s life, his religion. “The anonymous political assault is a safeguard for the hypocrite, the liar, the slanderer, the demagogue and the scoundrel who puts on foot a. rumor or a charge, as to which, by its anony- mous chdracter, the man assailed does not have. the opportunity to reply or have his recourse in court.” F He called «he attention to a “sample ballot” itssuea by the I. V. Tl. in tne last campaign in Which four members of Protestant churches, Gov. Gardner, Attorney-General McAllister, Joseph J. Crites and Ernest A. Green, candidates for office, were designated as ‘‘Roman’”’ or **Pro-Roman,”’ while Cornelius Roach, a Catholic, was starred as a Protestant. E. V. P. Schneiderhahn, as a repre- sentative of the Taxpayers’ Protective Federation, appeared in support of the bill. He exhibited circulars which were issued by a number of what he termed “fake organizations,”’ attacking candi- dates* which gave the names of none of their officers or members. He had cir- culars issued by the Missouri Libertv Protective Association, the Working - men’s Liberty League, the Headquar- ters of the Republican Citizens’ Com- mittee and the Voters’ Publicity League of St. Louis. ‘ An attempt was made by Representa- tive Cave to get from Schneiderhahn some explanation of the organization of the Taxpayers’ Protective Federation, ES ee ee ls ~ De | ner in which it determined which candi- dates it should support. Schneiderhahn resisted the attempt and fell back on the statement that the federation was not on trial, and that it signed all its communications. \ J. Kelly Pool, who was Wefeated for the Democratic nomination for Secre- tary of State by the vote against him in St. Louis, denounced the I. V. L. and the Taxpayers’ Protective Federation. He said the latter branded him as un. desirable without ever seeking to obtain his views on matters of taxation and without knowing anything about his views. He said that he had attempted through a St. Louis banker to learn why and that all he could ever find out was that he Was “Too damned dry.’ ' “ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY. “ACTOIDS” Lo Not Gripe Nor Sicken. | | i t 2 SS eS ee ee 4] Be mT es PDF DPPC Baga ti.awWainEs aE = WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1917.

One package | FIRST INFANTRY CAN Adjutant-General Donnetly Says Men Are in Readiness to An- swer Call to Service. Adjutant-General Donnelly, who came to St. Louis this morning from Jeffersoi: City, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the First Missouri Regiment, of which he is the commanding Colonel, is in readiness to respond to a call for service within.six hours. Officers have instructed their men to keep ‘hemscives in readiness to respon’) immediately to a possible call, and to file with the officers the addresses at which they can be reached by telephone or telegraph. They have been order not to leave the city, even for a short time, without giving an address at which they can be reached by telegraph. Members of the regiment, speculatirg on a possible call into service, are of the opinion that they would be sent to guard the Panama Canal, as they could be quickly transported by rail to New Or- leans, to board transports for the canal zone. Some officers of Battery A believe they will be sent to the Philippines if called into service. Adjutant-General Donnelly said that so far the Missouri troops, numbering 4500, had received no word whatsoever from Washington. The brigade, he said, is merely preparing, on its own. initiative, to respond to a call in the event of an emergency. Genera! recruiting is being carried on by all anits of the Missouri. brigade, and | special efforts are being made to recruit three additional batteries, to raise the strength of the Missouri batteries to six companies, constituting an artillery regi- ment. The First Regiment, the Adjutant- General said, has a good supply of am- munition on hand, and the equipment is packed, ready for instant removal. He said that the *irst Regiment had 1000 men ready for service, and that all the 4500 men in the Missouri Brigade were in excellent condition and training; as a result of their recent experience on the Mexican border. Capt. Kenneth Williams, U. S. A., is now: conducting nightly inspection of the St. Louis troops, taking one company each night. He said that thus far,he had found the regiment in good condi- tion. This inspection, he said, was the annual one conducted by the War De- partment, to determine the condition of the regiment’s equipment and numerical strength, and what appropriation the regiment was entitled to receive from the Government. He said that he had had no orders from the War Department to instruct the regiment t service. 4 Adjutant-General Donnelly stated he came to St. Louis to attend the annual regimental play, which will be given at the Odeon tonight and tomorrow night.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. CHEFOO, Shantung Province, China, Jan. 5.—Three hundred persons suffered death by drowning or freezing on the §00-ton Japanese steamer Hankaka, which ran aground during a terrific snowstorm near this city. Seventy-five of the passengers and crew clung to the storm-swept ship for four days, survived the low temperature and were rescued. Capt. Stampe, a Dutch officer, made repeated efforts to reach the grounded ship with a tug, but was unable to get to it for four days. The storm was so violent that he was able to save only 350 persons on his first trip, but in a second dash for the derelict he took off the others. The survivors were clinging to the bridge, the only part of the ship above water. One Japanese woman was among t'¢ rescued passengers. Practically all the passengers and crew, were Chinese ani Japanese. Two Russian passengers were SLANDER sum DISMISSED Pau! O.

Pete “Kid” Herman of New Or- leans bantamweight champion by virtue of Referee Billy Rocap’s de- cision in his favor in a recent bout with Kid Williams, has reached an agreement with the Future City © Athletic Club whereby he will box]. 12 rounds at the Coliseum, on Feb. 20, the opponent named being Har- ry Kabakoff, the St. Louis bantam- weight star. Articles of agreement have been signed by Kabakoff, and are on their way to s Herman for his signature, which is as- i ; * 540 rd. @. sured. They call for Herman to receive 9 $1250 win, lose or draw, while Kabakoff is gambling with the promoters on a percentage basis. Herman stipulates that Billy Haack, the Memphis referee, handle the bout, but this matter will have to be adjust- ed as thé St. Louis Boxing Commission is opposed to out-of-town officials han- dling local contests. . The weight called for is 118 pounds at 3p. m., which was the figure at which Herman fought when he was awarded the title on a questioned decision over Williams. The bantamweight limit is 14 pounds ringside. Both men have bouts scheduled in the meantime. Herman fights Young San- dow at Cincinnati next Monday, while Kabakoff fights his old-time rival, Jim- “my Murphy, here next Tuesday. The bout is contingent on Kabakoff’s success in his bout with Murphy. Should he fail to come through successfully, Murphy will be substituted against the champion. Both Boys Young. Both fighters are under age, Herman, being not quite 20 and Kabakoff. one year younger. Since Herman’s first fight he has had only two decisions ren- dered against him, one a defeat by Pal Moore, the other a defeat on a foul by Nate Jackson. Kabakoff is reperted to be improving in strength and punch and to have aban- doned his tap-and-get-away tactics. - ~ Hockey Referee Trips -* Overa Quarter, and Is 3 Sent to the Hospital Willis E.

St. Louis’ delegates and alternates to the American Bowling Congress tour- nament, which will be staged in Grand Rapids, Mich., next month, will be named at a meeting of the City Bowling Association officials tomorrow night at the American Hotel. Tomorrow is the last day on which the delegates can be nameg. ‘ This city is entitled to 2% delegates, and this number will be selected. A like number of alternates also will be named to take the places of the regulars if they are unable to go. But while St. Louis is entitled to this number and can name them, it is hard- ly probable that over five—if that many —will attend the meeting. The local bowlers will not go to the Furniture City until their teams are scheduled to roll, and at present it appears that the St. Louis dates will be scattered through the three weeks of rolling. All the local quintets are asking for Saturday, Sunday or Monday engagements. It is expected that the local delegates will be instructed how to vote on the different subjects that will come up for discussion et the annual meeting of the A. B.C.

O’Ryan, in com- mand of the National Guard of New York, closing all State armories to the public, has halted plans for a number of indoor athletic meets, it was learned today. Regimental of- ficers have been ordered to cancel the permits issued for all athletic games for the rest of the season, including the track and field meet epee by the clubs of the Amateur Athletic Union. , Basket Ball Results Washington 33, St. Louis 20, Kansas 24, Missouri 23. rdue 24, Indiana I8, ashington Freshmen 54, Mc- Kinley 29.

This time it is the amateur track and field sepulcher that must be whited. The recent suspension of Emes is being followed up with many in- vestirations, in the East, where the bold amateur is making a bid for higher emoluments, in return for dis- playing his strength or fleetness. It seems that under the old rules they did not rcvuire an itemized cx- pense account, when athletes com- peted in meets less than 100 miles from their home town. Consequently they could shoot in a big bill to pro- moters, who cheerfully paid—without the statement ever being audited hy the eagle-eyed hawkshaws of. the union. Now the radius of hold-up activity has been reduced to 25 miles, thereby taking the bread out of the mouth of many a starving amateur. P om Can't Live on ‘‘Amateur’’ Pay. ‘BEL KIVIAT and Harry Smith, two athletes of high order, were ex- pelled some time ago for taking ex-+ cessive ‘‘expenses’’—sounds like a germ disease, but it isn’t—but their punish- ment has long been forgotten and the hungry pack is clamoring for more pay. A story being circulated in official A. A. U. circles is that one Western ath- lete refused to send his entry to an Eastern meet unless the club agreed to pay expenses of himself and ‘relative’ to New York. The club acquiesced. The same man, on another occasion, insisted on drawing up a program of his own én- tertainment, while in New York, indi- cating the shows he wanted to see. “And remember,” this one wrote, “I don’t want you to sub- stitute any cheap vaudeville. I can see all of that I want to right here. When I'm in New York l.want to see the real stuff.’’ It’s astonishing what poor mem- Ories athletes have. When ques- tioned everyone seems to have a mental lapse that would be the undy- ing envy of a trust magnate under investigation. ‘ Three Cities in Danger. 4s NE result of the Players’ Fra- ternity agitation,’’ writes Joe Vila, “‘is the possible severance of rela- tions with the minors, by the major leagues.”’ Some persons might construe this to mean that Cincinnati, Pittsburg and St. Louis will be dropped from the big time shows. But why drag in Pittsburg? 7 ° - Might Use a Silencer. ONCENTRATION’S the thing, it seems. Idle talk; vain, vapid con- verse should be adjured when playing golf. Silently you must approach your ball. Fix your eye and mind on the mighty task confronting you ang concentrate— concentrate. Silence is the stuff, we're told. Only in this manner can the golfer ever learn to address the ball in the lan- guage of polite society, after he has sliced it into the nearest ditch. . € o Looks Like the Blow-Off.

Whitted’s view is that the whole thing is a shell game. | Why Call It a “Grievance ?”’ HITTED received only a $300 bonus from the club last year, whereas Dode Paskert was given $400——that’s the thorn that rankles. But George, be reasonable. was beaten for the pennant. Nothing in your contra¢t said you were to get any bonus. The club voluntarily came across.

National League, who has not uplifted much of anything except his voice, since he was hog-tied, thrown down and forced to accept the position he occupies, plus $25,000 a year, has been interviewed again. Mr. Tener had nothing to say and confined it to two columns; but at the end of it he violated rules by em- bodying an uncopyrighted idea as fol- lows: “I do not think that any games should be played in major league cities until the opening of the regular season. Exhi- bition games in the South are all right; but played at home, they take the punch out of the season’s opening.’”’ May be all right, Bo. But out here they thins it would be as hard to find a “punch” in a Cardinal-Pitts- burg series as in Freddy Welsh’s left hand. o = .

St. Louis University has yet to win an athletic event from the Pikers of Wash- ington U. The Billikens have been beat- en in football, baseball and. basket ball. Last night they tried to break the string of reverses at basket ball, but came to grief, 33 to 20, at the Pikeway gymnasi- um in the first of the series to decide the local collegiate champion. The first half was fairly close, the Pikers leading, 13—8, but in the second they made a runaway contest of it. Duncker at right forward was the star for the winners, scoring 16 points. Thom- as at center, with nine, five on free throws, was next. For the losers Han- sel’s work stood out. He counted a doz- en points, eight of them coming on free throws, out of 12 attempts.

OVE 10 AGAIN PRINT ALL UPPER COURT DECISIONS — | Publishers of Reports for State Supreme and Appelate Tribu- nals See Lawyers. on Subject. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 7.—Efforts of Representative Frank H. Lee of Jop- lin to have the Legislature pass a bill taking from the Judges of the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals the sal- ary increases granted two years ago has called attention to the benefits which have resulted from the law Lee is seek- ing to repeal. It is estimated that in two years the State has saved more than $10,000 in printing bills by the action of the Judges, serving as members as a com- mission to determine which opinions shall be published-and which shall not. The Clerk of the Court today offictal- ly stated that 711 opinions were handed down by the Supreme Court from June, 1915, to Feb. 1, 1917. Of these the Judges directed that only 265, or 37 per cent, should be published. All Formerly Published. Prior to the passage of the bill two years ago all opinions were published, an expense not only to the State, but to the lawyers, who are obliged to buy the reports of the courts if they would keep their libraries complete. The Supreme and Appelate Court re- ports are published by the E. W. Stephens Printing Co. of Columbia, of which E. W. Stephens, chairman of the Missouri! Capital Commission, is chair- man. Representative Lee said he did not know whether the Stephens com- pany had any interest in the passage of. the bill introduced by him, but that he did know the company had nothing to do with its introduction or progress so far as he was concerned. Representative Frank C. Wilkinson of Kansas City, chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House, and one of the more prominent members of the Legis- lature, told a Post-Dispatch correspond- ent that a short time before the Legis- lature convened a man visited his of- fice with a petition which he requested Wilkinson to sign, urging that all Su- preme and Appellate Court opinions be published. This would be brought about by Lee’s bill. Represented Stephens Company. Wilkinson said he questioned the man, who finally said he was paid by the E. W. Stephens company. E. W. Stephens said today that his company never had taken any part in any movement to re- duce the salaries of the Judges. “We sent men to the lawyers of St. Louis and Kansas City with petitions urging the courts to print all the opin- ions,”’ Stephens said. “Our purpose was to inform thé court how many lawyers of the State wanted all opinions pub- lished. We found that approximately 75 per cent believed all should be printed. “As it is we are publishing less than half the opinions we formerly did and our business in this respect is being ruined. The expense to the State never has been large, and if the lawyers are willing to pay for the reports and want them they should have them.”’ The law raising the salaries of the Su- preme Judges from $4500 a year to $7500 formed the Judges into a commission to determine the opinions which should be printed. lLee’s bill to repeal the sal- ary increase bill would restore at the same time the old law under which all opinions were printed. BERLIN CITY PLAN ENGINEER INDORSES LOCAL PROJECTS Speaks at City Club and Commends Projected Improvement of ‘River des Peres, The work of the local City Plan Com- mission, especially its projected improve- ment of the River des Peres, was in- dorsed by Dr. Werner Hegemann of Berlin, a city plan engineer, in a talk yesterday at the City Club. ‘He also stated that adequate main traffic arteries, from the business sec- tion to the residence districts should be provided. He pointed out that three- fourths of the main traffic streets of St. Louis are not more than 60 feet wide, when they should be twice that width. The radial plan of main transportation routes was approved. The speaker urged the adoption of a zone or district plan, such as the City Plan Commission is working on. He said the soning of cities was originated in Germany, but that New York had gone beyond the German plan in thorough- ness and usefulness and has become the model city of the world for district- ing plans. The districting or zoning of a city is accomplished by a wide plan of restrictions as to the height and na- ture of buildings, areas of yards and courts and nature of business for which buildings may be used. MRS, SANGER IN WORKHOUSE NEW’ YORK, Feb. 7.—Just two weeks after her sister, Mrs. Ethel Byrne, had made the same trip, Mrs. Margaret Sanger, under sentence of 30 days for birth control propaganda, was taken yesterday from the Raymond Street jail to the workhouse on Blackwell's Is- land. Mrs. Sanger will not follow Mrs. Byrne's example and go on a “hunger strike."’ “I don’t know what I'm going to do when I come out,” Mrs. Sanger said. “Of course I'll continue my propaganda in-some way. I would no more promise to stop that than I would promise to change the color of my eyes,” a GERMAN PAPERS TEMPERATE IN TONE ON CRISIS WITH. S News Displays Put Stress on Wilson’s Invitation to Neutrals to Follow His Lead. By Associated Press. , BERLIN, Feb. 6, via London, Feb. 7. —The afternoon newspapers today de- vote columns to news from America which, with the exception of the weath- er, excludes almost everything else from their pages. Editorially the papers lay particular stress on President Wilson's move to induce Switzerland and other neutrals to follow his lead. The com- ments are temperate in general, al- though President Wilson personally is | the most diverse breaches of interna- tional law un the part of our opponents and has taken no energetic steps. One need to recali merely the starvation ef- forts which without an effective block- ade—and such is nonexistent—are abso- lutely counter to international law. “For the North American mercantile marine there remains open a wide field of activity and shipping men will best serve their own interests if they keep as safe.” eee a - - —_——~— They are at ly inconsistent with what is termed his rope. Plaintive Note in Some Papers. paper takes occasion to reiterate the allegation that President Wilson’s every act had been induced by his insistence that Americans shall be allowed to travel unendangered on entente ships. Several papers repeatedly refer to this as the chief cause of trouble between the two countries, and here and there an almost plaintive note makes its ap- pearance, the editors asking why Pres- ident Wilson could not accept the Ger. man offer™to allow one American ship weekly to go to England. The papers are frankly enthusiastic over the prospect that Switzerland and other neutrals will not fall in line be- hind President Wilson, and {t is pointed out that the difference between the po- sition of America and that of other neutrals makes it improbable that the. President will have any success in 8e- curing followers. Aid to Neutrals Emphasized. In this respect, the papers emphasize announcements showing the inclination of the Government to ameliorate the lot of neutrals as far as possible: for ex- ample, the alteration of the blockaded area so that Holland might have an out- let, and the furnishing of coal to Den- mark. Papers like. the Vossische Zeitung and the Lokal Anzeiger, which ‘heretofore have handled the American situation most temperately, show a tendency to adopt the tone once taken by the Pan- German press. At the same time the Tages Zeitung and Journals of a simi- lar coloring are milder than ever before in the expression of their view. They have abandoned baiting America and are devoting themselves to assuring their readers that the German decision is final and a step .toward an ultimate and speedy victory. Count von Reventlow in an editorial in the Tages Zeitung says that neutrals will not suffer as much under the Ger- man submarine measures as they have under English ‘‘tyranny,’’ if ogly they use the channels allotted .to them and no longer put into English ports. Reventlow’s Comment. Regarding the United States, Von Reventlow says: ‘“‘The further action of America will be watched with particular absorption. The brea¢h certainly wil! not be taken lightly by us, but that doesn’t mean that it is decisive. Hope, even though it stands on very weak feet, does not need to be given up that ‘the final’ still can be avoided. The Government of the United States so far has maintained a cool attitude towards HELPFUL HAIR HINTS Worthy the Attenticn of A ae Who Would Avoid Dandruff, Itching Scalp, Gray Hairs and Baldness. “What will ston mv hair coming out?’ Reply: Parisian Sege is the best remedy for hair and scalp trouble: said to pre- vent baldness, grayness and dandruff, The great war has not interfered with the sales of Parisian Sage—one of the most helpful and invigorating hair treat- ments known—ag it is made in this country fromthe oMginal formula, “Before going to bed I always rub a little Parisian Sage into my scalp,”’ says a woman whose luxurious, roft anda fluffy hair is greatly admired.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, te a (Post-Dispatch | Average circulation entire year 1916 Sunday, 356,193 Daily, 204,201 ga” The POST-DISPATCH sells more papers in St, Louis and Sub- urbs every day in the year than there are homes in the city. “Gj — F : : — LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE “(Will the writer of the letter signed “One of Them,” printed in this column Feb. 6, communi- tate in confidence with the Editor of the Post- Dispatch 7) Mr. Kolkschneider Screams. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I answer to your editorial on Feb. 1 about “Queer Society of Taxpayers,” will state that among the 28,000 members of the Taxpayers’ Federation are over 8000 business firms of this city, but not one of those “ambulance-chasing lawyers” as you call them. The taxpayers are against the new Constitu- tion for the reason that we know that the agi- tators, who are tack of it, the politicians and their allies, want to change the constitution of this State for the same purpose that they changed the charter of this city, namely: To throw down the bars against oppressive taxation and remove the Mmitation upon the tond issues, that protects our city from bankruptcy. All the needs, as suggested by the advocates of ths new Constitution can be reached by legis- lative enactment. Then the people would know what they would vote for. We have a State beard with ample and sufficient powers to secure uniformity and equalization in taxation, and the - Censtitution expressly empowers the Legislature to prescribe such duties as it may deem wise for the effective and equitable taxation of all prop- erty. : The constant clamor of so-called modern re- formers is for the removal of limitation on tax- ation. Those fake reformers and bogus boosters, who under the disguise of uplifting and benefiting everything and everybody—at the expense of the tazpayers—for nothing else but to further their own schemes or political boomlets, and it seems théy always have the help of the press, while the taxpayers, if they complain of their burdens, can- not get into the press—and I dare you to publish this. But that the Ifmit of endurance has been reached, there is no doubt. The taxpayers have been aroused and will get relief not only from oppressive taxation and extreme, unheard-of lawlessness, but also from a flood of oppressive inute regulations of private life and work— dRought about from nothing else, but to provide places for an army of inspectors, overseers and investigators, until we now have an army of 13,449 feeding at the “Public Crib.” Never has this or any other city witnessed such a deplor- able, unendurable state of affairs as there is in this city under the prosent city administration. ' «The Taxpayers’ Federation is not against a rkingman's compensation law, like you say in editorial, but it is against the kind of a . compensation measure which is introduced in the Legislature because, if enacted into law, it will greatly increase the cost of production in the various trades in this State, and whereas the manufacturing interests in this State are now _ greatiy handicapped in securing outside markets for their products, due to adverse conditions not . te be found fn other states. We should rather - pase lewa to relieve thos> unnecessary burdens em the manufacturing interests and not add to them. _ Beopte whe have money are stead to invest fn | thig elty, even plenty of our own invest some- ’ where else. The requit of this is that many of our working class of people are out of employ- ment, and this helps to fill our city wit: people in want. Respectfully, ‘i. W. KOLKSCHNEIDER. ' Smoke Abatement With Justice. | To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The article on smoke abatement appearing in a pecent issue of your paper signed by a friend of _ efficiency, I think was rather a harsh criticism of the Building Commissioner. It is impossible - for the commissioner of buildings to recommend any cular construction of furnac. for the elimina of smoke, without violating his oath . of office. However, the smoke abatement ordi- nagee could be amendeé so as to include an in- @peetor of construction whereby the city could _ supervise and recommend various unpatented de- vices for the abatement of smoke. ft would not a age in my estimation for the city to patented devices unless a maximum construction is fixed by ordinance. This no doubt will give the department a wido enough and would assist the department in abating without creating a monopoly or leave an ES fer corruption. THE LEGISLATIVE ISSUE. In the event of the defeat of his program of legislation for the rehabilitation of the State’s finances and other important objects, the only course left to Gov. Gardner is to call an extra session and appeal to public opinion in the State. Gov. Gardner’s condemnation of partisan op- position from Republican legislators is justified. But he cannot lay the blame on the Republican minority. It merely supports the action of the group of Democrats in control of the majority's action. The Governor must place the responsi- bility where it belongs. From the organization of the legislative houses it has been evident that the forces in favor of sound reform and progressive measures would be helpless. Politics, spoils and the influence of spécial interests seized control. The payrolls were packed with useless employes; the important committees dealing with the subjects of reform, especially in the Senate, were packed with spoils- men and special interest supporters. While the House has shown a disposition to work, the Senate, which is the bulwark of special interests, has held back. Under the rules meas- ures on the calendar are subject to the will of the Old Guard opposing reform. They can be smothered altogether, or delayed until the rush hours, when defeat or mutilation will be the al- ternative. The situation in the Legislature is a sad spec- tacle of the consequences of apathy on the part of the people. They have blindly placed the power to contro] legislation in the hands of men who oppose the popular will and regard public in- terests as secondary to personaland political in- terests. There is no question of the will of the people or the welfare of the State. The obstacle to neces- sary legislation is the selfish and sordid purpose of the controlling group of legislators. Gov. Gardner must take the issue to the people of the State. He must define it and expose the opposition and its purposes, regardless of party affiliations. We do not doubt the outcome. Hither the Legislature will respond to the popular will or the Democratic party, which controls the Legislature, will suffer defeat in the next election. ene —_— “—— The repott that Rodin, the sculptor, was dying was a bit exaggerated.

Announcement comes from Washington that $300,000 of the fund of $1,000,000 for a memorial building to George Washington in the nation’s capital already has been subscribed. Those who are conducting the campaign for money have ar- ranged to accept contributions of any sum from 10 cents upward. Everybody who gives a dime or more will receive a certificate that he “owns! a brick” in the building. . The memorial is to be a home of national and international organizations which have anything to do with the increase of knowledge of the arts and sciences and general educational movements. In addition to halls and meeting rooms it will have an auditorium with a seating capacity of 10,000. It will be 300 feet wide, 270 feet deep, four stories high and will cover a lot already do- nated at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue. The memorial association includes in its mem- bership some of the most prominent men and women of the United States. The plan is en- titled to support all over the country. No more fitting memoria] to the great patriot, whose cher- ished ideal was the diffusion of knowledge throughout the country, could be imagined. That it should be erected in the capital city is appro- priate because Washington, in a large sense, be- longs to all of us. — = = * ™ — = The seizure of 17 German vessels in Manila Bay and the handing over to Spain of our af- fairs in Germany shows that history repeats it- self with variations. a fs r % ZIMMERMANN IS ASTONISHING. Declaring that “President Wilson’s decision is astonishing,’ the German Foreign Secretary, in an interview printed in the Berlin Tageblatt, in- sists that “there is no step backward.” Whether there is a step backward or not is for Germany, not the United States, to say. The de- cision of this country has been made and will be adhered to. There has never been an issue of for- eign policy about which the American people were more firmly united than they are about this, and they are determined to see it through to the end, come what may. When Dr. Zimmerman says that the President’s decision is astonishing, he is trifling with the German people in the hour of their greatest ex- tremity. It is not astonishing. It is inevitable. The German Government was informed last April in plain, direct, straightforward language that unless it respected the rules of cruiser war- fare nothing remained for the United States ex- cept sever diplomatic relations. Berlin has known from that day that a resumption of ruthless sub- marine operations would result in the recall of Gerard, and in passports for Count von Bernstorftf. The American Ambassador has impressed that fact upon the Foreign Office time after time, and there is reason to believe that Count von Bern- storff has beeh no less active in warning his Gov- ernment that a rupture’ would inevitably follow a return to frightfulness. Yet when the German Government deliberately forces the break the Ger- man Foreign Secretary professes to be astonished that the United States should keep its word. Will official Germany be equally astonished, after the President’s address to Congress and its overwhelming indorsement by the American peo- ple, if an overt act leads to the use of force by the United States? For two and a half years the German people have been fed up on diplomatic i mendacity, but there must be limits to their ca- ‘pacity for digesting lies. Nor need there be popular illusion in the cen- ‘tral empires as to what will happén if the United States is finally dragged into the war by Germany. This is a conflict not of armies, but of money and industries and economic resources. Mr. Lloyd- George once said that the last $600,000,000 might win the war. The United States not only has that last $500,000,000, but it has many times $500, 000. The day that this country enters the war the economic resources of the allies are doubled. Germany may despise the military establish- ments of the United States, but the military re- sources of the United States are so overwhelming that they would decide the war, and decide it quickly. RATE-REGULATION BY A BOARD. The Legislature will be threshing old straw if it devotes any serious attention to the bill of Sen- ator John H. Taylor of Chariton County, to strip from the Public Service Commission the power to regulate railroad rates. The difficulties in the way of legislative regula- tion are familiar and were thoroughly gone into at the time the present powers were delegated to the State board. Within the 70-day Mmit on sessions of the Legislature in Missouri, there is no time to deal intelligently with the intricate problems connected with passenger and freight rates. To attempt to do only lessens the time and attention the Legislators devote to the other duties of which they cannot divest themselves. Legislative regulation in the past has represent- ed: little aside from alternate triumphs of dema- gogic appeals and of the peculiar influences ex- erted by the railroad lobby. Missourians want-fo' return to the old system and the old lobby.; Theft public judgment reached deliberately a decision [ in favor of commission regulation. No backw move should disturb that decision. In proposing that the Legislature shall assume again its jurisdiction over rates the Taylor Dill reopens another old issue by prescribing 2-cent passenger fares. If old battles must constantly be fought over, what opportunity will there be for new victories? This is a time when new victories over tendencies toward misgovernment are ex- pected. Commission regulation may sometimes be dis- appointing, but we can assure Mr. Taylor that it will never cause the scandals and show the de- partures from scientific standards of legislative regulation. Instead of restoring the old plan, we should have specific legislation removing some present points of doubt as to the extent of the board’s present regulatory power. = = * — — a IN CONTEMPT OF THE ALDERMEN. The St. Louis Court of Appeals in a unanimous decision holds that President Charles L. Holman of the Laclede Gas Light Co. must obey a subpena issued in an aldermanic inquiry into the business of the company. This is a point of controversy that ought never to have arisen between a utility officer and the municipality. The friction from such incidents gives rise to an ill will and resent- ment that prove costly in the long run. That publicity must attend the business of pub- lic service companies is indispensable under exist- ‘ng policies. What has the gas company to con- ceal, when it shows contempt for the official representatives of its customers? - == * we S A burglar yesterday stole six eggs and some trifles, including diamonds, clothing, a few auto- mobiles and cash. a &.& DR. HEXAMER’S IMPUDENCE. Charles J. Hexamer, president of the German- American Alliance, has telegraphed his friends asking them to protest against war without a pop- ular referendum. There happens to be no provision in the Consti- tution of the United States for a referendum. We have a representative form of government in which the President and the Congress act for the American people in all questions of public policy. The President took the Congress into his confi- dence before exercising his power to sever rela- tions with Germany. The Congress approves his action. He had previously consulted the people, because his ultimatum in the Sussex note and the reasons therefor were known to the people pre- vious to the November election. The people in- dorsed his stand and re-elected him. They ex- pressed confidence in his leadership. All except a handful of Americans are in full accord with the President and the Congress in their expressed policy. Dr. Hexamer represents the Germans whose consent for the United States to defend American lives, property and rights against German assaults we will not ask: Dr. Hexamer and his German friends should protest to Germany against the inhuman aggres- sion which is driving us into war. Their protest to patient America upon which the aggression is inflicted is the height of {mpudence. = S * a a British commerce fs far from dead, but it has been having sinking spells. = = '- - ~~ THE TRAFFIC ‘‘COP’’ IN ECONOMICS. Inquiry into the cost of traffic jams has been made in New York City. The uninterrupted movement of street traffic by the most direct route involves, of course, a certain large cost to the multitudinous business activities of large cities. The maintenance cost of vehicles of all sorts, wages of drivers and oth- ers, the time of men in executing business errands and commissions and many other items are to be entered under this heading. If, now, traffic is not able to move uninterrupt- edly, or circuitous routes must be taken, money is lost through: a reduction in the maximum use obtained from wheeled transport and in wages and profits. New York’s investigation shows that in- creasing street congestion has had an appreciable| effect on the price of many commodities, especial- ly coal. Motor trucks which formerly could make deliv- erles between certain points in half an hour now require an hour. In such cases the item of de- livery entering into the cost of commodities to the consumer is increased exactly 100 per cent. The result of the showing is to magnify the im- portance of rational] traffic rules and especially of the traffic policeman. If some cost chargeable to congestion is unavoidable in great cities, such part of it as is due to a system of traffic reg- ulation that falls something short of the greatest attainable maximum in efficiency, is waste. mM Py tae A SUGGESTION FOR THE FIRST LINE. + MONG me eee SOCRATES ON THE SEA. OCRATES: He had an unusually large crowd over at the Agora last night, and after there had been a general discussion of the break with Germany somebody was kind enough to suggest that I might say something that had been overlooked. Glaucon: I daresay. Socrates: I said that what had occurred in the last few days enabled me to understand much better why a democracy is so often held to be impracticable, You know it is sometimes said that the war in Eu- rope is really a fight between aristocracy and democ- racy, with the extreme probability that either the one or the other will be wiped out. Polemarchus: That is, either the classes or the masses will be in control at the last. Wocrates: Exactly. It is not easy to understand that when all classes are joined together under one flag, as they are in every one of the countries fight- ing; or when Russia, an absolute monarchy, is on the side of England and France, which are said to best represent the democratic ideal. Nevertheless, we are told that more and more people are coming to the conviction that this is what the war is about, and we have even been told that in due time this same issue shall arise with us. It sounds absurd to say that our democracy is impracticable and that we shall some day come to a king—but people are saying it in Burope, and we are assured that we shall one day say it ourselves. Thrasymachus: What is impracticable about democracy? Socrates: I will repeat the argument of one of the aristocrats. He says a monarchy presents a perfect pyramid. At the top sits the king. Immediately under the king sit those chosen by the king for their ability. Beneath them are those chosen in turn for the same reason. Hach stratum supports the oye above. The democracy presents the inverted pyramid. At the top are the masses, and at the bottom is the leader, oppressed by their weight. There is no sup- porting structure of ability built up to the point. Upon the contrary, men without any ability get into office until the weight of the pyramid is too much for the point, and the whole thing collapses. (Quite a happy idea. However, I like the Polemarchus: That is, masses may become lighter, but a king grows heavier all the time. Socrates: You said it, Polemarchus.

We all own it, and probably within the next few years it shall afford us an excellent opportunity to judge exactly how good it is for us to have anything that all of us, own. Glaucon: You think it might constitute a sort of acid test for democracy. Socrates: Yes. and so far as I was able to make out, the crowd seemed impressed by it. Polemarchus: It IS interesting. ‘Socrates: Thank you, Polemarchus. out and drill, Now let us go SLEEP. LEEP crept into my room, and closed my eyes With poppy-scented kisses on my face, And gave my soul a pair of golden wings, With which it drifted, lazy, into space. Fairyland opened wide its moonlit gates, Bidding my spirit enter there and rest; And Memory, attired in robes of gauzé, Stood silently to do my soul’s behest. Together dipped they into Other Years, Enchanted, changed to mirrored pools of light. They came where Nightmare stamped and raved Without the onyx gates of Night.

Wheat showéd pronounced irrewgular- ity in the early trading on the Mer- chante’ Exchange today, largely as a re- sult of uncertain shipping conditions due to the submarine campaign. Prices started firm compared with yesterday, then lost to over 1¢ below that level, with the May option the weakest. May wheat extended its loss to 3c in the late market, while July dropped ic to t%ec. The close was weak, but above the low point. Corn futures sold up over Ic shortly after the opening, then lost the ad- vance, and averaged about ic under yes- terday’ s close. ight primary receipts and small country offerings were offset by the shipping outlook. Oats were barely steady with corn. Coarse grains finished firm and practically unchanged | from yesterday’s close. Broomhall’s Liverpool cables said: “The wheat market was firm today, with moderate arrivals and delayed American shipments. Corn market strong; Argen- tine offers light and American ship- ments moderate. Oats market firm ‘with a good demand for cash and moderate export offers. Flour market firm with advancing spot. In. Argentine, the weather generally is clear and warm. Exports of corn are unfavorable; oats are in good demand and offers light. Wheat is quiet with loading difficult rte to a nigh insurance and dear freights, but holders are reserved, Bue- nos Aires wheat closed dull but firin yesterday. Corn was firm with arrivals light; oats strong with a scarcity.’’ The Price Current Grain Reporter says: ‘Severely cold weather prevailed last week over the entire winter wheat } belt extending far into the South and Southwest, the greater part of the area having little or no snow protection. Complaints have begun to come in of frost damage. This is pa articularly true in some portions of Southern Michigan. Northern Ohio and Indiana, where the freeze was preceded by rainfall soaking the ground with water which when froz- en, formed a coating of icé.
