The Federatio of Missouri Comrnrver- cial Clubs, an organization intended to ‘accelerate the development of the State’s resources, set out last fall to raise $159,- 000 in St. Louis to aid in its campaign, and announced that similar canvasses for funds would be made in Kansas City, St. Joseph and other cities, with the ultimate hope of raising about $500,000. In St. Louis the active support of the Business Men’sS™League was obtaiucd, and George Warren Brown of 4 Puort- land place, chairman of the board of the Brown Shoe Co., became chairman of a commtitee which tried to raise $15v,- 000 in four days in this city. Now the Post-Dispatch has learned that a secret contract was in existence at the time, by which one-third of all the money subscribed in St. Louis and out in the State, was to be paid for tlfe promotion Services ‘of Lyman Dontin, who had cormducted successful commer- cial club membership campaigns at Belleville, St. Charles and at Louisiana, Mo. At the end of the four-day campaiga led by Brown, last October, newspaper reporters were told that $108,000 had been subscribed in St. Louis. The Post-Dispatch also has. learned that this total was incorrect, and that only $33,043.59 was subscribed. Recently’ Brown and other memoers of the Business Men’s League leatned of the existence of Donlin’s 331-3 per cent contract, and there was a demand that ‘eh be found to break the azgreé- Stormy eetinn Held. After a somewhat stormy meeting uf the Executive Committee of the Féder- ation of Missouri Commercial Clubs, at the Missouri Athletic Association build- ing last week, Donlin agreed not to hold the Federation to the two-year contract made with him last September by the Executive Committee, of which A. W. Douglas, vice president of the Simmons Hardware Co., is chairman. It was ar- ranged for Donlin to get $4000 for work done since last September. How Donlin Got Contract, The circumstances by which Donlin came into possession of the contract were these: When the Federation held its annua! meeting at Joplin in January, 1916, it had a deficit of $600. Treasurer W. H. Stubblefield Jr. of Cane Girardeau tro- posed that a fund to meet the deficit and provide for future expenses be raised. Members of the St. Louis del- egetion suggested that the headquarters be moved to St. Louis and promised that St. Louis would get behind the proposi- tion and raise a fund. That suggestion prevailed. Money to meet the obliga- tions was raised by some of the members signing a note. Last March the Federation head- quarters were moved to St. Louis and a financial campaign was planned. In- dorsements were obtained from many or- ganizations of the city and State. In September Donlin, whip had attracted at- tention by his commercial club cam- Paigns at Belleville, St. Charles and na, was prevailed upon to be- come secretary and manager under a Contingent contract, by the terms of which he was to receive nothing, and pay his own expenses, unless $12,000 was raised. If $12,000 or more was raised he was to receive one-third of it. Campaign in Donlin’s Hands. William H. Bloomer, president of the Federation, ‘was also chairman of the State Development Committee of ths Business Men's League.

HOOT OWL CAPTURED ON ROOF OF DOWNTOWN STORE Bird Who Visited City at Night Failed to Get Away ahd Is ’ Put on Display. ot large hoot owl, delighted. with his visit to St. Louis last night, was unable to get away before daylight. He perched himself on the roof of the Grand-Leader building, hoping to have a day of undis- turbed sleep, but was discovered. T.eo Toomey, an employe of, the Grand- Leader, voluntered to capture the vis- ‘itor. The task was a simple one, as Mr. Hoot Owl sat unmoved while Toomey slipped up behind him and grabbed him. The owl was unusually large, in fine condition, and his grayish plumage was resplendent under its coating of polish. He was consigned to a cage, which was set up in a showroom in a crowded sec- tion of the store. During the,day ttou- sands of visitors stopped to admire the captive.

Instead of Being Returned Prompty. WAREHOUSES ALL FILLED General Shortage of Equipment and Facilities Underlying Cause of Trouble. - Shortage of cars and other equipmer't and facilities is mainly responsible fur the embargo just placed by all of the Eastern railroads on carload shipments of all but a few commodities, according to statements of local officials of both the Eastern and Western railroads to- day to a Post-Dispatch reporter. One railroad official, who did not care to be quoted, said the failure of *he railroads during the last five years to adequately increase their equipment and faciltities was chiefly responsible for the difficulties the roads now were facing. This failure, he said, was due to the inability of the railroads either to earn or borrow the money they need- ed for the purpose. The rolling stock of the railroads should have been increased, additional yard facilities should have been sup- plied, many needed industrial spurs should have been installed and many of the roads should have double-tracked a major portion of their main lines, he said, but none of these things were done. East Fails to Return Cars. Another offickal charged the present trouble to the faliure of the eastern roads to return cars to the western roads, because Phe care are being used as storage houses all over the East. where it is impossible to unload tha freight, owing to the congestion of all of the warehouses, freight sheds and docks at the seaboard terminals, due largely to the great increase in expor:s. To facilitate the return of cars to their owners an experiment will be put into effect next Wednesday by the American }Railway Association, composed’ it" all the principal roads of the country, by Which compaéahiés that receive and load cars of other companies and send them in travel in a dipection away from the lines of the owning companies, will be fined, the fines being made payable to the car owners. Where the offending company admits its guilt in violation the new provision a fine of $ a day, while the car is in service “on its tracks, will be assessed against it, and in cases where the com- 4A panies decline to admit violation of the rule by them, and their guilt is proved, a fine of $10 a day will be assessed. The enforcement of this provision is expected to cause the various companies to hasten the return of cars of all de- scriptions to the owning roads, the com- pany officials say, and relieve, some- what, the present congestion. Officials of all of the companies said the embargo provisions, which in the majn are uniform with respect to all of the roads, cannot possibly result in a tie-up of food supplies or result in a shortage of food supplies at any point in the country. Of the commodities exempted by the embargoes that heading the list is food- stuffs, of all descriptions, for domestic consumption, but not for export. Al} manufactured food for animals and poul- try is also exempt from the embargo rulings. Other Exempted Articles, Other articles on the list of all of the Eastern roads that have been made exempt are perishable freight of all kinds, livestock, Government freight of all descriptions, field seeds, seed grain, fertilizer, nursery stock, gasoline, news or book print paper, powder for mining, cordwood, muriatic acid, sulphuric acid, fluxing stone, dolomite, coal, coke and fuel oil. All other classes of freight that have been subjected to embargo can be shipped in‘carload lots over the tracks of Eastern roads only by special per- mission. Many of the railroads have placed embargoes applicable to their own individual lines, and which do not apply on other lines, local officials pointed out, and many of the roads re- fuse to accept carload shipments of freight originating on other lines, whi!l« they accept shipments of the same class. es of freight originating at potnts on their own lines. Autes Being Sent From Detroli Un- der Own Power to Avoid Congestion, DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 16.—Millions of dollars’ worth of automobiles are tied up in Detroit by railroad con- gestion, according to statements made today by local manufacturers.

SEAMEN’S LAW IS UPHELD Declared Valid by Federal Judge in First Case Testing Its Constitutionality. MOBILE, Ala., Feb. 16.—The seamon's law was upheld as valid by Federal Dis- trict Judge Ervin in a decision au- nounced today whi@h as far as is known is the first construing the constitutionnl- ity of thé act.

WAS SUPPORTER @F FOLK Declines to Sa4y Whether He Will Follow olicy Carried Out by Mulvihill. Edward Simmons Lewis, 68 years old, president and editor of the St. Louis Star, confirmed by the State Senate yes- terday to succeed Horace S. Rumsey as Excise Commissioner, told a Post-Dis- patch: reporter he would enter the office with only two fixed policies. | “Enforcement of the law and a square deal for everybody will, be my aim,” said Lewis. “Further than this I cannot say I have formulated any plans. I will try to give the office a business ad- ministration and I will not play politics. “In the last few days I have heen reading over the excise laws. I also have attended hearings conducted by Mr. Ramsey. It seemed to me that he was very fair in his rulings.” Was a Folk Supporter. Lewis was one of the active supporters ‘ of Joseph W. Folk when he ran for Governor. Under Folk’s administration the excise laws were more strictly en- forced than ever before or since. Thom- as E. Mulvihill, then Excise Commis- sioner, was relentless in his’ dealings with saloon keepers who failed to ob- serve the. letter and the spirit of the law and he used his broad powers to insti- tute many rules for the conduct of sa- loons. Some of these have since [ailen into disuse. In some quarters the belief gained ground that Lewis would be an Excise Commissioner of 3} ich the same type as Mulvihill. the other day a man asked me if I in- tended to stop the. dir the "Hotel Jefferson. | him I would not stop it. I have two daughters, one married and one single. They dance at the Jefferson every Monday night after going to the theater. It is innocent amusement and I see no harm in it.” Lewis was not prepared to say how far he would go in regulating or sup- pressing saloon cabarets, which have become a feature of the night life of St. Louis. He repeated that he had only two policies—law enforcement and a square deal. Mulvihill Hunted Violations. , When Mulvihill was Excise Commis- sioner he took the initiative in looking for violations of the law by saloon xeer- ers. Special policemen and inspectors were attached to the excise office for this purpose. Since then other com- missioners have waited for the police to report violations. When this was called to Lewis’ at- tention he said he recognized there was a great difference between the two policies, but was not prepared to say which course he would follow. He was told it was a matter of com- mon opinion that the Sunday law is now being violated by many ‘Saloon keepers. ‘*Yes,’’ that.” Lewis lives at 4401 McPherson avenue. He has been a resident of St. Louis since he was 16 years old. His father, Ed- ward A. Lewis, served a term as Judge of the St. Louis Court of,Appeals. The family came here from Richmond, Mo., after living several years in St. Charles. Collected Wilson Campaign Fund. Lewis began his business career as a wholesale dry goods salesman.

S. Lost 1400 World War Century re Twice Drawn Into the Conflict By STERLING EDMUNDS, ‘ Lecturer on International Law St. Louls Univeysity Law Scheol: HE conduct of the United States ti aga suffering neutral in the last world war, more than a hundred years ago, appears’ to have been adopted by President Wilson as the policy to be followed in almost iden- tical circumstances today. The grievous extent of our injury in that great conflict, beginning with the execution of Louis XVI in 1793 and ending at Waterloo in 1815, may be inferrsi from the fact that, as a neutra!, we lost 1400 merchant ships, In the early period of that .war France, though for 20 years our faith- ful ally, became a bitter enemy in the destruction of our commerce with En- gland. | Under the treaty of 1778 with France, we had granted to her val- uable rrivileges in time of war in the use cf our harbors, but her abuse of these privileges led to controver- sies and a considerable curtailment of them... In 1795 we negotiated the settling many pcints of difference left over from the peace of 1783. France became so exasperated upon learning of. this treaty with: England that she refused to receive our Min- ister, C. C. Pinckney, and actually threatened him with arrest. All the while ship after. ship of United States citizens was being captured and con- demned for trading with England. In 1797 President. Adams appointed Pinckney, John Marshall and Elbridge Gerry commissioners to go to France and compose our differences, it having been intimated that aay would be re- ceived. Upon their arrival, the French For- eign Minister Taillyrand told them that before undertaking negotiations it would be necessary for the commissioners to present a “gift” of $240,000, to be divided between him and members of the Di- rectory. The Americans indignantly de- clined to deal in bribes and all except Gerry departed for home. Defense Measures Passed, When this information was made pub- lic in the United States, by reference to Congress in 1798, there was a demand for war. Congress dif not yield to the de- mand, however, but it passed 2 dif- ferent measures for national defense. One measure made a large increase in| the navy, another autliorized the enroll- | ment of 80,000 mén, another authorized al) merchant ships to afm and to use their armament when attacked ‘by French f armed vessels. Still another measure authorised the President to direct the convoying of merchant ships with war ships, which -as prisoners, who were ‘held for ex- Government considered that war actual- farmed vessels acting unlawfully toward the merchant ships. The President was further authorized te direct naval commanders to bring into our poris, to be proceeded against ac- cording to the law of nations, any such vessels “‘which shall have committed, or which shall be found hovering on the coasts of the United States for the pur- pose of committing depredations on the vessels belonging to the citizens thereof; and also to retake any ship or vessel of any citicen or citizens of the United States, which may have been captured by any such armed vessel.” There was no concealment of the fact that the measure was aimed at French ships, as the preamble of the act recited the depredations of France on American commerce as the occasion of its adop- tion. ‘ War Without Declaration. From that time, May, 1798, to 1900, the United States was at war with France at sea, though war was not declared or considered by either country as actually existing. Battles were fought, property was captured by each and condemned, and each took the citizens of the other change, punishment or retaliation, ac- cording to the laws and usages of war.” Bighty-four French armed _ vessels were actually captured or destroyed by United States vessels. Tpward the close of 1799 it was inti- mated again to President Adams that France was ready to consider an adjust- ment of differences, and a commission headed by Oliver Ellsworth was sent to Paris. They negotiated a treaty of “Peace, commerce and navigation,’ which, howeyer, did not refer to the con- dition previously .existing as war, but as “differences which have arisen be- =n the two states.’ The treaty secured a recognition of our freedom of trade, stipulated for the mutual restoration of captured proper- ty, which had not been condemned, and left the matter of indemnity to be taken up subsequently, which was done by the treaty of 1803. While the Supreme Court in after years considered the Unifed States and France to have been engaged in a “‘par- tial or limited or qualified,’ war, neither ly existed in the intention of the parties. It furnishes a unique instnace where hostilities were carried on and war rights were exercised without the recog- nition of War. The treaty of 1800 actually furnished us little protection, for as the struggle of Europe against Napoleon went on, each was driven to more desperate measures and neutral rights were again swallowed up. Eventually, as we know, the United States actually entered the war, in 1812, but against Great Britain should attack and destroy all French instead of against France. TT aa GERMANY MAKES NEW LOAN OF $187,000,000 TO TURKEY Central Pewers Have Advanced Near- ly Twice That Amount Since the War Began. LONDON, Feb. 16.—Germany has made a new loan to Turkey of 42,600,- €00 Turkish pounds (3187,000,000), ac- cording to a Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam, quoting a Constantinople dispatch, printed in the German newépapers. A bill authorizing the acceptance of the loan was introduced in the Turkish Senate on Tuesday.

The explanation now given for stating that $108,000 had been subscribed when only $33,043.50 had heen subscribed, is that the Executive Committee ef the Federation felt that it eould not go back on the figures which had been given in the newapapers and relied upon further efforts to make the statement an actu- ality. At the meeting of the Shiesuttve Com- mittee Feb. 7, Chairman Brown said there were objections to any part of the fund being used for the payment of per- ceritages or commissions and suggested that the work of completing the fund be done entirély by volunteers, a com- mittee was gppointed to obtain an ad-| justment with Donlin which would re- lease thé Federation from continuing to pay him one-third of the sums sub- soribed. Reorganization Planned. A meeting. of the Federation was called for March 27 and 2 at St. Louis, at which there will be a reorganiza- tion and new officers and a new execu- tive committee will be named. - Whether Donlin will continue with the Federation after March 27 will depend upon the action taken at the meeting.

LONDON, Feb. 16.—Officials of tho American Line assumed today that the Philadelphia had passed outside the dax- ger zone, as no word had been received from her since her departure late on Wednesday. Among the Americans who sailed on the Philadelphia are: First Class—Willlam Armour, Prince- ton, N. J. Frederick S. Bowen, Boston; Robert Bowman, Lake Forest, Jil.; Miss Gertrude Cohen, San Francisco; Thomas Cochran, New York; J. Francis Dooley, Freeport, L. I.; Selmer B.

Greaves, New York; Robert Mountpier, New York; Robert McBride, New York; J. T. Toomey and wife, Brookline, Mass.; Stanley J. Wheeler and wife, Tokio. LIVERPOOL, Feb. 15 (Delayed).—The Philadelphia, the first American liner to leave Europe since Germany’s declara- tion of unrestricted submarine warfare, sailed from here late Wednesday after- noon. She carried passengers vf all classes, of whom 30 were Americans. Among the few cancellations were those of Frank Simonds and Winfield RFR. Sheehan, who had planned to sail but were prevented at the last moment by British business reasons. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, formerly United States Minister at Holland, had originally intended tc sail on the Philadélphia, but decided earlier in the week to postpone his de.- parture until Saturday. The Philadelphia was unarmed, carry- ing neither a mounted nor an unmount- ed gun. Two Tons ef Dispatches. In addition to her passengers she car- ried a general cargo of what is kaown ag express freight, and -wo tons of dis- patches from the American embassy in London for the State Department in Washington. The dispatch bags con- tained important documents forwarde: from American embassies and consu- lates in nearly. every one of the coun- tries in Europe. | There were comparatively few British passengers, and this was explained by the fact that the authorities refused passports except in a few instances. Even the London daily newspapers tried in vain to get permission for staff men to make the voyage. Dutch and Scandinavian Liners Pre- pate to Sail From New York, NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—The Anchor line steamer Tuscania, carrying 14 cabin pas- sengers, of whom four are Americans, sailed today for Glasgow. Twelve American, British, French, Belgian, Swedish and Dutch steamships, most of them freighters, arrived here today, several having left European ports after Germany's submarine pol- icy was announced. These ships make almost a record number of arrivals from the war zone in a single day and the greatest number in one day since Feb. 1, Three American freighters to reach here are the A. A. Raven, from Wales; Virginia, -from Naples, and the Aztec, from Havre. The British Admiralty’s decision to permit neutral vessels sailing from American ports for Europe to undergo examination at Halifax instead of Kirk- wall or Falmouth brought immediate re- lief today in the congested cargo situ- ation at New York. Steamships of the Dutch and Scandinavian lines which have been held in this port on account of the submarine blockade prepared to sail by the new route, and it is expected several will get away this week, in- cluding the Ryndham and the Stock- holin. By stopping for examination at Hali- fax, vessels bound for Holland and the Scandinavian countries will be able to skirt the ‘northern boundary of the blockade waters included in the Ger- man proclamation. While owners of American passenger ships gave no indi- cation today that their owners would follow the example of the Dutch and Seandinavian lines and send their ves- sels to sea, several American freighters are making preparations to sail.

That Federal Trade Commission ‘Take Certain Action. “WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—It was au- thoritatively announced ‘here today that a number of the largest print per manufacturers have submitted to the Federal Trade Commission a _ sigticd statement proposing that the commissicen take certain action which will be of the utmost importance to newspaper pu- lishers and relieve the present situation of prohibitive prices. An official. state- ment will be made later today. The action of the manufactuers fol- lows two days of conferences with the commission and the proposal was sub mitted to Francis J. Heney, special counsel for the commission, in its print paper investigation. The manufacturers hurried here soon, after it was announced that the Federal grand jury in New York had been asked to return indict- ments charging criminal violations of the anti-trust laws. Report to Congress About Ready. The commission’s report of its in- vestigation of the news print paper in- dustry is about ready to be presented fo Congress. No intimations of its con- tents have been given out, but it is understood to show that there is no real shortage of news print paper, as the manufacturers have contended, and that the paper mills of the country are in position to meet all ordinary demands upon them. Soon after the commission reached its conclusions and the Department of Jus- tice began paving the way for criminal prosecutions in the Federal courts, 4 movement began among the manufac- turers which culminated in the signed statement which is before the trade commission. When the official announcement is made, it is said, publishers will see that a way has been found to relieve the disastrous situation which has con- fronted them for many months. The course of the Government in regard to the pending prosecutions will be de- termined later. There has been a strong intimation that the manufacturers might be wil)- ing to put the whole problem in the hands of the commission for solutiofi. Some manufacturers favor the sugges- tion that the commission determine an equitable price for their product. That would mean a complete concession by the makers, many of whom heretofore have discouraged the Trade Commis- sion’s efforts to bring manufacturers and publishers together. Chief Interest in Price Reduction. THhe effect of a proposal of th's :a- ture on the grand jury investigation in New York is not fully known, but pub- lishers gencrally are more keenly in- terested in a reduction of prohibi*t've prices than in prosecutions, The manufacturers are here, ‘t is| said, as individuals and cannot act for the entire news print industry,.but they represent a large share of the paper mil! stock held in this country and Canada and it is believed other manufacturers would be forced to follow their examplc, jif they take the action contemplated. News Print Paper Men to Testify Be- fore Grand Jury. NEW YORK, Feb. 16. Officers of the News Print Manufacturers’ Association, an organization of 68 individuals and companies, appeared as witnesses to- day before the special Federal grand jury chosen to investigate whether in- creases in the price of news print paper involve a criminal violation of the anti- trust law. After the manufacturers have testi- fied a number of newspaper publishers will be called, and it is expected that the investigation vill last at least a month. A huge mass of documentary evidence is ready for the consideration of the jurors. The manufacturers, nodetitine to their attorneys, attribute the high prices to the increased cost of material and la- bor and the scarcity of pulp. They call attention to the fact that the cost of other papers besides news print has gone up since the outbreak of the war. lations covering the examination ef ves- sels at Halifax.

The lagt min- /ute rugh, so @haracteristic of British in- vestors,. was expected to result in a very large total for the day-as the cap- stone for the huge ingatherings of the 4 last month. Although no figures have been made public and none will be available for some weeks, there seems to be no ques- tion in financial cipcles that the loan will be a success almost beyond the most sanguine expectations. The na- tional accounts indicate £506,000,000 new money is needed to insure a clean slate for the Government on entering the next financial year on April 1. The Government expects to abtain not only this amount, Dut enough more to carry it a considerable distance through the new financial year. $400,000 Asked fer Food Inquiry. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Congress was asked b. the Federal Trade Com- mission yesterday for an appropriation of $400,000 for the food sup}'y and price investigation to be undertaken by the commission at President Wilson's dire”- tion.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—-News of Ger- many’s retraction of her .order, forcing the American members of the Belgiaa Relief Committee to leave Belgium and Northern France, was received by State Department officials and by Herbert © Hoover, chairman’ of the commission, with both surprise and pleasure. Apart from a brief cablegram from Brand Whitlock, saying negotiations of some ‘sort were under way, neither the De- partment nor Hoover had any. offica! advices on the subject. The impression here is that Germany did not expect the commission’s prompt and ‘final response to the suggestion that “A few Americans, among them Brand ‘Whitlock, might reside in Brussels and exerfige general supervision of the work.” The commission refused flatly to ac- cept, this compromise.and at once or- dered all its men to withdraw from the field. Half American control probably never would have been recognized by the allied governments. If a handful of Americans had continued on in restrictec supervision, unable ta: leave Brussels, its might and power preserved.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Applause from both sides of the House today greeted @ declaration by Republican Leader Mann that the first duty of the United States was to look after affairs on the American continent, and that he hoped this country would not be drawn into the European war. Debate on the army appropriation bill was in progress when he spoke. “T am determined,’’ Mann said, ‘‘to do everything in my power to keep our country out of the European war. If it becomes necessary at any time for the United States to enter into it, I wil willingly join, but I am trusting with hope and faith that the President will do everything he thinks can possibly be done to keep us out.

CONNETT FOR TE MAYORALTY Candidate for Democratic Nom- ination Was Former City Executive’s Secretary. Former Mayor Rolla Wells, who exer- cises a powerful influence among St. Louis Democrats, has signed an indorsce- ment of William C. Connett for the Democratic nomination for Mayor. Cun- nett’s campaign committee has sent cut 1000 petitions, the first group of which was returned to the committee today. In addition to the indorsement by Wells, the petitions contained the sig- natures of several thousand other peéo- ple, including business men, lawyers, bankers, members of the Missouri Ath. letic Association, ballplayers and tennis players. Connett was private secretary to Welis during the last two years of his term as Mayor. The petition signed by the for- | mer Mayor states that he has confidence in the honesty, ability, industry and prco- gressiveness of Connett, and that he takes pleasure in commending him as a man possessing excellent qualifications for the office of Mayor. The petition pledges the support of its signers to Connett. Among the other signers were former Judge Glendy B. Arnold, R. S. Hawes, vice president of the Third National Bank; Lewis B. Ely, J. R. Cooke of the Third National Bank, William C. Jotn- ston, a coal merchant, and James Ha- germap Jr., former Collector. The Connett campaign committee ex pects to have more than 4000 similar »e- titions in circulation within a few dayy. An active campaign has been started, and this will be kept up until the pri- mary election. March 9. The committees having charge of Dr. John H.

Dr. Simon is preparing the platform upon which he will run, and has had most of his literature printed Martin D. Lohmann, member of the Board of Aldermen from the Ninth Ward, filed yesterday as a candidate for renomination on the Republican ticket. Lohmann is chairman of the Engrossed and Enrolled Bills Committee of the present Board of Aldermen. Twenty-two other Republican candi- dates have filed for the 14 aldermanic vacancies. Only one Democrat, Edward Deffaa, former member of the House of Delegates, has filed. He wishes to represent the Seventh Ward. Max Wail, the present member from that ward has filed as a candidate for renomi- nation on the Republican ticket. No candidate has yet filed from the Twenty-first Ward, which is now re)re- sented by Nat Hall, Republican. It is understood at the city hall that Hail will be a candidate to succeed himself. The Democratic organization is trying to induce business men to file for the Board of Aldermen. This effect is duc to the conviction of the members of the organization that their only chance to win is to present a high-class ticket. Louise Nolte, Republican, former Sher- iff, is the only candidate who has filed for Comptroller. James Y. Player, Den- ocratic incumbent, has made no an- nouncement as to whether he will seek re-election.

Herman Dulany, 26 years old, wh» was arrested yesterday at Dahlgren, I!!. on the charge of obtaining $100 by false pretense, and who came voluntarily to Clayton to answer the charge, savs it is due to a mistake he made in filling in the name of the bank in which he has a deposit. His attorney says Dulany recently deposited $500 in the First and Old Na- tional Bank of Detroit, in which citv he has been working. He came to East St. Louis to visit his wife and as he was acquainted with the cashier of Citizens’ Bank of Florissant he cashed a check there, writing in the name of the hank as the “First National Bank of De troit.’’ As there is no such a bank a warrant was sworn out by Joseph Pondrom. president of the Florissant bank. Du- lany was formerly assistant treasurer of St. Clair County, III. Dulaney said he was technically but not-morally guilty of the charge against him. He was permitted to plead guilty to a charge of petit larceny and was sentenced to a year in prison and imm:- diately paroled.

SUGGESTS BUS SERVICE SOCIETY WOMEN oT. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH whe SLOW IN BUYING | "FROLIC" TICKETS Several Allowed Names to Be Used as Patronesses, but None Gave Up Much Money. The ingenious promotion methods used by Bovette Tuey, terpsichorean artist, actor and professional producer of ama- teur theatricals, whose “Midnight Froiic” at the Odeon and “Fox Trot Ball’”’ at the Jefferson Hotel last night failed to materialize, as told in yester- day's Post-Dispatch, were revealed w a reporter today by those 5. 10 worked for him. Tuey had made extravagant promises of having a coach and four, 14 automo- biles, a regiment of soldiers, a prize fight and other things in his production, and when seen yesterday afternoon would give no adequate explanation why the show didn’t go on. He said, how- ever, that it would surely be given Feb. 28. Tuey comes originally from Joplin, Mo., where his father was.a newspaper editor. There, when in school, he was known as Leo Tuohy. This combina- tion did not appeal te his esthetic sense, and he chose, as he explains it, the “actor’s prerogative’ of changing his name. | | Although Tuey owes a bill at the Hotel Jefferson, for which the management is anxiously waiting payment, he and Mrs. Tuey spent yesterday at the Wash- ington Hotel. Tuey himself, a medium- sized extremely slim man, with a piping voice and a penchant for perfume, come from his room out into the hallway to explain his case. - Both Insist on Talking. “Did you write that infamous arti- cle about me?” he demanded, bran- dishing a pipe in one hand and hold- ing onto the doorknob with the other. “Why, dear me, you are absurd! Posi- tively absurd! Why, my word! We didn’t give our production, but we will. Those who can’t wait will have their money refunded.” Here Mrs. Tuey interrupted, and told her husband to go back into the room and let her talk. When it was gently intimated that Tuey shopld do the talking, as she had recently been ill, she replied: “T’ll do the talking because I can talk better.” Then she reiterated his statement that the performance would be given next week. As the inter- view ended Tuey stuck his head out of his doorway and called, “How ab- surd you chaps are!” If the affair is given a percentage of the receipts will go to St. Ann’s. Otherwise, Tuey promises to refund the money paid in. Tuey came here about two months ago, and after announcing his affair, to ‘Le given for the benefit of St. Ann's Four- dlings’ Home, got a number of society women to allow him to use their names as patronesses. Then he persuaded about 2% well- known men and women to take parts in the ‘‘Frolic,”” and commenced the sale of tickets. But they sold slowly. A pre- fessional promoter then in the city, ai.d in need of funds, heard of his plight, and offered his services for 25 per cent of all ticket tales up to $500. Tuey accepted and gave the promoter the list of patronesses. The promoter got busy immediately. He rented desk space and telephone service in the Na- varre Building, and put a solicitor in charge, with explicit instructions as to “how to get the money.” A list of the socially prominent men and women was procured, and this formula given the solicitor to say over the telephone to the. prospect:’’ “Mr. John Doe?

NEW RAID THREAT FRIGHTENS WOMEN FROM THE BORDER Cavalry Watching for Salazar, Who Is Said to Have 500 Well-Armed Mexicans. COWBOYS’ BODIES FOUND; Comrades Threaten Revenge, Although Only 50° Strong; Raiders Get Much Plunder. NACHITA, N. M., Feb. 16.—Fearing that Jose Ynez Salazar, Villa leader, would carry out his threat to attack some boarder town, American women and children today are being taken 19 places of safety at interior points, whi's cowboys threaten revenge for the mur- der of their three companions, Andrew P. .Peterson, Burton Jenson and Hugn Acord by Mexican bandits, following tne raid on the Corner Ranch last Monday. 500 well-armed and mounted men againat The troops of the Twelfth United States Cavalry patrolled the internation- al border in what is known as_ the *‘jog,’’ where Monday’s raid occurred. Further incursions by the bandits are not expected. Whether the American troops would cross into Mexico, Lieuten- ant-Colonel Waterman said depended on instructions from headquarters. Bodies of Three Arc Found. The bodies of Peterson, Jensen and Acord were found late yesterday three miles over the Mexican line by a party ‘ef searchers headed by Lem Spills- bury, Mormon scout with Gen. Persh- ing’s expedition in Mexico. Each had been shot several times and the bodies had been badly mutilated .nd the clotn- ing removed. Spillsbury and compan- ions had spent-three days searching for the Americans, and just as they wers about to abandon hope of success, dis- covered the three bodies in a clump of cactus. The ground near where they were found indicated that a desperate strug- gle had taken placa between the cap- tors and the captives. Little has been learned definitely con- cerning the kidnaping and execution of the three Americans. When the Mex- ican bandits appeared at the Corn; Ranch Monday, most of the employes took flight. Tha three Americans were captured almost immediately upon their rounding up stray cattle on the bor- der ani stopred at the ranch, not knowing the Mexican band was there. Nothing has been heard from Ed (“Bunk”) Spencer, negro ranch fore- man for the Warren interests, since he returned Tuesday night to Ojitos, Chi- huahua, where Salazar’s band was en- a. He came to Hachita to obtain ransom demanded ty Salazar f:r his’ wife’s release. The ransom has Raiders Have Rick Loot. Nothing has been heard of the Mex- ican band since the raid. It was be- lieved they returned to Ojitos with a large number of horses and mules and ranch loot. It was also said many head of American cattle’ were in their possession. Preceding the Corner ranch raid, Mex- ican bandits raided the Nogales head- quarters camp 6f the Palomas Land and Cattle Co., 20 miles below the border and 45 miles southwest of the Corner ranch. Two Mexican rgnch hands were taken prisoner. A large quantity of stores, sup plies and wagons were taken at this point. Several horses were killed, it was reported. The bodies of Peterson, Jensen and Acord are to be busied on the Campbell ranch, near the Corner ranch, it was stated last night. Spillsbury and 1 number of cowboys departed early to- day to look dfter the burial. BIG INCREASE IN COST © OF RAILWAY SUPPLIES Fiftty-Two Per Cent of Articles Bought in 1915 Will Cost $3,350,- 000 More This Year. A table showing the increased cost in railway supplies has been prepared by N. M. Rice, second yice president of the St. Louis and San Francisco railrvad, and a summary éf the table was made public today. According to the table 62 per cent of the supplies bought in 1915 will cost $3,- 350,000 more this year than then—an in- crease of 119 per cent. The rest of the material has increased in cost 60 per cent, If the same number of axles is oought this year as in 1915, says the summary, the cost will be 257 per cent greater. The ificreased cost of brake beams is 86 per cent. The same number of high speed drills would cost $47,500 more, and the same number of continu- ous joints would cost $152,000 more. If the same number of track spikes {fs used in 1916 as were used in 1915 the cost will be $209,000 more. Boiler tubes have increased 201 per cent and steel wheels 107 per cent.

FOUGHT BY THE DRY They Fear Drastic Measure Will Have Reactionary Effect on Prohibition Movement. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Senators fa- voring prohibition failed today in an effort to reverse the action of the Sen- ate yesterday by eliminating from the postal bill the Reed amendment to make it a crime to import liquor into states which prohibit its manufacture and Sle. By a vote of 28 to 38 a motion of Senator Kenyon to throw out the Reed amendment was defeated. Prohibition advocates feared the Reed amendment might have a reactionary effect on the prohibition movement. Senator Kenyon in moving to strike the Reed amendment from the bill said he was not ready for the Federal Gov- ernment to take drastic action at this time and felt it should be left to the states. The amendment to the postoffice ap- propriation. bill to make it a crime to ship liquor into prohibition states was added by Senator Reed of Missouri to the Jones’ amendment, barring news- papers or other publications, letters or postal cards containing liquor adver- tisements from the mails in states which have laws again such advertising. It was adopted after brief debate by a vote of 45 to ll, by the Senate sitting as committee of the whole. Text. of Reed Amendment. The Reed amendment is as follows: “Whoever shall order, purchase or cause intoxicating liquors to be trans- ported in interstate commerce except for | scientific, sacramental, medicinal or me- chanical -purposes into any state or ter- ritory, the laws of which state or ter- ritory prohibit the manufacture or sale therein of intoxicating liquors for bev- erage purposes, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1000 or impris- oned not more than six months, or both, and for any subsequent offense shall be imprisoned not more than one year.” The effect of this provision, if finally acvepted by the Senate and agreed tu by the House, would be to_ make ail prohibition states ‘‘bone dry.” It would operate against provisions in various states permitting importation of limit- ed amounts of liquor for individual consumption. ; The original Jones,amendment to. bar liquor advertisements from the malls in states having. anti-liquor advertising laws attaches the same penalties as provided in the Reed amendment. Details of Amendment. Under this provision no newspaper, pamphlet, letter, ‘postal card, circular or publication of any kind containing liquor advertisements could be mailed into the dry states. To prevent prose- cution of innocent persons the measur:: explicitly states that “if the publisher of any newspaper or other publication, or the agent of such publication, or if any dealer in such liquors or his agent, shall knowingly’’ cause liquor adver- tisements to be mailed in violation of the proposed law, he shall be guilty of violating the law. Oklahoma “Bone Dry” Bill*Goes te the Governor. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., Feb. 16.— The Ferguson “bone dry’’ liquor Dill was passed in the Senate late yester- day and goes to the Governor for his signature. The anti-cigarette bill, to make pos- session of cigarettes or cigarette p:2- pers a misdemeanor, was referred back ta committee for an amendment which will provide only against sale of ciy- arettes to minors. ~~ South Carolina House Passes Anti- Liquor “Ad” Bill, COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. 16.—The South Carolina House of Representatives has passed a bill probibiting liquor adver- tisement in newspapers and periodicals, or in any other form in-this State. The bill already has passed the Senate... WORKMAN AWARDED $12,500 FOR THE LOSS OF AN EYE Employe of National Evameling and Stamping Co. Wins Big Verdict in Suit, Kristo Zirkovics, 37 years old, of 3514 North Broadway today was given a $12,500 verdict in the United States Dis- trict Court for injuries sustained March 1, 1915, while employed in the St. Louis plant of the National Enameling and Stamping Co. .

Shaffer, have filed a claim against the estate of the late United States Senator Thomas M. demanding $z0v,000. Coincident with the filing of the claim, the Denver Publishing Co. and Shaffer instituted suit in the District Court against Richard C. Campbell, gon-in-law of the late Senator and executor of the latter’s estate, demanding @ like sum, It is alleged the defenaants “‘con- spired and confederated together for the purpose of fraudulently inducing the plaintiff to purchase the Rocky Moun- tain News through the use of a false financial statement. The papers state that in Campbell's old desk certain statements were found which indicated that the paper, during the 12 months covered by the statement: jupon which the negotiations were car- ried forward, had, in reality, lost heay- fly. Shaffer also is publisher of the Chi- Indianapolis Star, Terre Haute Star and Muncie (Ind.) Star. He bought the Rocky Mountain News in 1913 for $550,- 000.

SHIPS si CUBAN WATERS 10 HELP AMERICANS Foreigners Have Not Yet Been Molested in Uprising Against Government. REBEL DEFEATS REPORTED Official Report Admits That Some Troops at Santiago Have. Mutinied. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Two Amer- ican warships are at anchor toduy in Cuban ports. The Petrel, a gunboat, is at Santiago, which is held by rebels. |jand the Dixie, a repair ship, is at Ha- vana. Developments in the revolution- ary situation are not of an alarming character, but, the ships will be held in Cuban waters as long as there appears possibility of danger to Americans or their interests. ‘ Gen. Fernandez, commanding the rebe!] garrison at Santiago, offered no opvosi- tion to the entry into the harbor of the American gunboat Petrel. Conservatives in Santiago have been sternly treated by Fernandez, the more prominent of them having been made prisoners. Minister Gonzales reported to the State Department today that no destruction of property had occurred and foreigners have not been molested. Some anxiety was caused by the isolation at Cama- guey of many tourists, but information available at Havana indicated they were in no danger. Rebels have interrupted traffic over the railway between Cama- guey and Havana. President Menocal’s proclamation promising protection to all loyal per- sons regardless of previous affiliations, served to relieve some anxiety which had been aroused at the State Depart- ment by reports that he was contem- plating reprisals and the adoption of drastic corrective measures. HEAVY FIGHTING BETWEEN CUBAN TROOPS ANDREBELS Engagement in Which Several Revolutionists Are Killed 17 Miles From Havana. HAVANA, Feb. 16.—Heavy fighting occurred last night between rebels and Government troops near Hoyo, Color- ado, 17 miles west of Havana. Several of the rebels were killed. In spite of'a plot among certain mem- bers of the Havana police against the Government there is a more optimistic tone in Government circles due to the loyalty of the navy. Several Cuban war vessels have escaped from Santiago and it is believed the city soon will be recovered from the revolutionists. High officials say the movement begun there by Rigoberto Fernandez is not a popular one. Lieut. Wilfred Diaz, aide to Fernandez, escaped on the Cuban school ship Patria, which arrived here from Santiago. Telegraphic communication has been restored with the province of Camaguey, where fighting is reported between 800 troops against an unknown number of revolutionists. Baldomera Acosta and Pina Guerro, with their bands of revotutionists, are still making for the Pina del Rio hills. Their rear guard has been at- tacked in a running fight. Search in German circles here failed to reveal anyone who knew Capt. Boehm, a German army officer held at Falmouth, who, according to a London dispatch, had in his posses- sion a chart of Santo Lucia Bay, Cuba, where German agents. were as- serted ‘to have obtained oil conces- sions. There are no entries here of German oil interests in Santa Lucia Bay. & “The seditious movement in the capital of Oriente (Santiago) now 1s officially confirmed,” an official statement says: “Two squadrons of cavalry and one company of infantry stationed in Santiago have mutinied. Seven oficers joined the mutineers and seven others were prisoners. The maximum strength of the aforemen- tioned companies is 100 men _ each. Their strength at the time of the up- rising averaged 80 men This would make some 250 men all told, and it igs probable that a considerable part of them had no choice but to join their companions.” |, EGGS AND BUTTER SCATTERED Truck Hits Produce Wagon and Dam.- ; ages Contents. A wagon loaded with eggs, butter and other produce, and driven by. Mrs Frances Hunning of Higt Ridge, Mo., was overturned yesterday afternoon in _a collision with a truck at Hydraulc ' and Gravois avenues. The eggs were smashed and the butter scattered in the street. The driver of the truck, George J. Melierhofer, 5%1A St. Joseph street, was arrested on a charge of careless driving. Bank of France to Raise Note Issue. PARIS, Feb. 16.—The maximum is- sue of notes by the Bank of France has been raised by the Government decree to $4,200,000,000.

CAGLIARI, Sardinia, Feb. 16.—Accord- ing to an affidavit made by Capt. Mc- Donough of the American schooner Ly- man M. Law, sunk off the coast of Sar inja by a submarine on Feb. 12, the submarine ordered the schooner to helt, which she did immediately. The submarine, Capt. McDonough’s af- fidavit continues, approached the Lyman M. Law and an officer of the under- Sea boat examined the ship’s papers and her cargo and ordered the captain and crew to leave. Afterward the schoouer was set on fire and sunk by means of several bombs. Capt. McDonough makes oath in his affidavit that the only cargo on board the schooner comprised thin wood ‘aihs for making lemon boxes, loaded at Stockton, Me., for Palermo, Sicily, and intended for use in the American trade, In this connection it is pointed out nére that wood in general is- contraband when it can be employed for military uges.

His con- clusions are at wide variance with those of Ger- man publicists who have insisted that Ameri- ca’s entrance into the field would have no ap- preciable effect. Aside from putting tremendous financial re- sources at the disposal of the entente countries, he points out that the United States could in- directly take an important part in actual land fight- ing. Russia today has about 10,000,000 men in training, but has equipment for only half of them. By a rapid concentration of its industrial forces the United States could arm the other 5,000,000 men much more rapidly than Great Britain has been able to arm the forces she has put in the field. With such reinforcements in sight it is inconceivable that the allies could be brought: to early surrender. That the Russian is a first- class fighting man when properly equipped, Brusiloff’s campaign of last summer is abundant proof.

Kansas City, our precocious and somewhat self- assertive neighbor, has been shrieking from all its housetops what a great place it is and how much greater it is going to be, but at last it has manifested a weakness which would appear to be fatal. It doesn’t seem to have the essential ven- eration for money.

Sometimes the family martyr sacri- fices the talents that would have made her famous. The saddest story I was ever told a woman whispered to me be- tween her sobs. She had written a first novel, strong, virile, original, full of promise, and on the strength of that she had received an offer from a big New York newspaper to join its staff. Her ticket was bought, her trunk checked, 2 brilliant and prosperous future stretched before her, when the very night before she was to start for New York, her sister died, and dying, self- ishly demanded of the family martyr that she should give up her career and rear the six orphan children she left. M every Martha heroically has had face. For 20 years her life had been abject slavery, toiling:'day and night to make insufficient means meet the need; of a growing family, her genius dulling itself at the uncongenial tasks—for you cannot convert Pegasus into a dray horse without breaking his spirit—until, at last, she knew that the opportunity of life was gone for her, and what she might have been she could never be. What was left to her ,6¥ life was just the dust and ashes of the sacrifice she had offered up to her family. Martha’s family never appreciated her. They never will. They speak of her with tolerant affection, as one whom you de- serve credit for loving, although she is neither successful nor brilliant, and has done nothing to deserve it, and when the time comes that: she will have to live with them, the sisters and brothers for whom she has sacrificed her life wil] consider her a burden. There is no help for Martha. She will go on to the end of time sacrificing. her- self, but whenever I build a monument to woman the lady who is going to be invited to occupy the top seat is the poor, unappreciated, persecuted family martyr.

Because of their convenience, small electric devices, such as pressing irons, curling irons, toasters, electric pads or blankets, electric plate warm- ers and electric sterilizers or heaters are now to be found in almost every community. If these were used with proper care the danger would be negligible, but, unfortunately, a pro- portion of their users does not realize the peril of leaving then in circuit IN FACT I THINK Youve POT OM ABOUT FIFTY “POUNDS | SINCE | SAW You LAST / [a GooD MoORNING= Doc ToR. when not in use. In such cases these devices tend to become overheated, whereupon they are likely to-set firs to anything combustible with which they are in contact. Most of these fires are small, but the aggregate loss is large, and oc- casional instances show extensive damage, as in the case of the $350,090 fire in the Boston residence of Ex- Gov. Draper; this was traced to an electric plate warmer in the pantry. Fires of this class furnish a special peril to life, being most frequent in dwellings and often breaking out at night. A characteristic example is that in which an electric pressing iron is left upon the ironing board, with the current turne@ow, and then forgotten. In sucn a se the fire -may not occur until some hours lat- er. The burning of the residence of John Wanamaker, several years ago. was due to an electric pressing iron. That this form of hazard is al- ready assuming large proportions appears from the statistics. For ex- ample, the Actuarial Bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters in one day noted approximately 100 reports of fires from this cause, out of a total of 2000 losses in the day’s reports, and it estimates that small electrical devices are causing fires at the rate of 30,000 or more in the course of a year. It is safe to say that most of these fires are entirely preventable, and can be —— to nothing but taste at all times.

Various “safety” devices ‘have edded by certain of the man ers of these articles, and among them are some that are fairly ef- fective, but there is one absolute precaution which should be borne in mind at all times by every user, namely, that of shutting of the cur- rent when not personally and con- tinuously supervising the use. The Nervous Child and His Diet HE anemic and nervous child re- quires proteids. Milk and eggs should be given freely, and cream served on cereals and desserts. Midway between meals he should be given a cup of cocoa or a few tablespoonfuls of beef tea, and just before bedtime a cup of peptonized or malted milk. To prepare the malted milk, add a tea- spoonful of extract of malt to a cup of milk. Warm peptonized milk is a sooth- ing beverage at bedtime. To prepare this, buy the pepsin in liquid form or tablets, and dissolve in milk according to instructions on the bottle, tube or box. Pepsin can be bought at any first- class drugstore. ae : Whey, junket and gelatin custards eaten with cream are nourishing des- serts. Beef juice, which is highly desirable for the anemic child, can be prepared in one of two ways—from broiled or from raw beef. Broil one pound of round steak, cut thick, until the outside is seared and the inside remains blood- red; extract the juice with a meat press or a lemon squeezer. A pound of steak should yield from four to eight table- spoonfuls of juice. Season with salt and serve warm or cold. To warm, place the cup holding the juice in warm water. Heat just sufficiently to satisfy the palate; never raise it to the tempera- ture at which the albumen appears as flakes of meat floating in the juice; it them becomes difficult to digest. To prepare the juice without cooking, have one pound of round steak chopped fine; place it in a covered jar with 12 tablespoonfuls of cold water and a pinch of salt; stand in a cold place six hours, shaking occassionally. Turn this into a coarse muslin bag, twist very hard, season and serve as above. The beef-juice so prepared is not so tasty as when the steak is first broiled, but it is more nutritious and more economical. In case of acute illness, with a phys!i- cian in charge of the case, the mother should be most accurate in writing down the diet directions and should follow them without deviation. A slight change in the proportions or method of prepar- ing food in time of illness may undo all the care and medicine supplied by the family doctor. f f PPLES en Casserole—Wipe and core A “6 medium-sized red; tart apples.

Heretofore it has been necessary for sut marines to arise to the surface and ap- proach a ship head on and maneuver the craft until the torpedo couid be trained upon the prey. This new device permits the U-boat to approach the ene- my vesse} and fire warning shots across her bow while under full headway, fol- lowing alongside the fleeing enemy in the meantime. The torpedo can be trained ready for action at any moment the warning is not heeded or there is any attempt on the part of the hostile crew to fire on the U-boat.”’ Lake said he had been at. work upon the device for several years. The new device will not be placed on the 10 or 1? submarines now being built for the United States Government. Most of these are of the 500-ton variety. lake Said the new device was for the larger U-boat of 1000 tons. ; St. Louis branch. ee ee ee * - ¢ en ~ a , ae ee P a : : 4 : z ae ; q & 3 i =, if he = - move from east to west. just seems as though I have a1 liver now.

The guilt of carrying } the infantile paralysis germ has been almost definitely placed on the fly, the doctor stated. as much as possible, the A second clinic was held this after- noon and this evening, in the city audi- torium in East St. Louis. Dr. East in a public address will tell how to take precautions against infantile paralysis. In infantile’ paralysis, after the pa- tient has passed through the crisis, Dr. East said, the treatment consists simply of curing the deformity, and then teach- ing the child, for a second time, to use its muscles. Of the five children examined at the clinic the worst case was that of Eliza- beth Miller, 1 year old, of Lebanon, Ill, She has lost the use of both legs and partly of one arm. Dr. East said the, legs and arm should be placed in casts, to remedy their deformity, but the casts should be removed each day, six days u week, to permit massaging. The mus- cles, which were flaccid and unused, should be flexed 10 times each day, he said. The knees and ankles were limp. He advised bending each joint ten times each day, gently. The casts are to prevent the sound muscles from developing and growing away from rm affected ones, thereby causing deformity In other cases where the muscles were inactive but where no deformity ap- peared, Dr. East said to “just let them get well.” “‘Those are cases where ma3- terly inactivity and watchful waiting are successful,’’ he remarked. Unusual Case From Pennsylvania. An unusual case was that of Elizabeth Evans, 9 years old, who was taken to the clinic from her home in Option, Pa., by her mother. She had the disease in August, 1915, leaving her helpless in both legs, and slightly affected in one arm. Dr. East said that she probably would have to wear casts or braces for a year, and that then she again would have to be taught to walk, just as if she were a baby. The effect of infantile paralysis, the lecturer explained, is to destroy the mo- tor nerve cells of the spinal cord. The solution is to teach the child to utilize the surplus cells which never have been in use. Patience is the principal thing required by parents and physicians, Dr. East said. He told of a man who attended one of the recent clinics in a small Ilinois town, and went away disappointed be- cause he had not been supplied with a liniment which would restore the use of his child's helpless legs. Contrary to public opinion, infantiic paralysis is one of the least communi- cable of diseases, Dr. East declare¢. The epidemic rate of scarlet fever is 33 cases out of every persons exposed, he said, while the rate of infantile pavaly- sis is somewhere between two and s*ven out of 100. 409 of 1400 Cases in Chicago. Of the more than 1400 cases of in- fantile paralysis in Illinois last sum- mer, 400 were in Chicago. Dr. Hast said that 82 per cent of the patients do-not reeover all their functions. The death rate in Illinois last summer was 12 out of 100, as compared to 25 out of 100 in New York, he said.

Already many people have called at the stores where Tanlac is to be introduced to inquire about the new preparation. “T predict that Tanlac will be just as successful here as it has been elsewhere,” the Tanlac expert said when seen yesterday. “Tanlac is a medicine of unusual merit. It does not take the people of any city long to learn that Tanlac holds real relief for people, who suffer from stomach, liver and kidney troubles and catarrhal affections of the mucus membranes. “In scores of other cities of your own state Tanlac has been iatro- duced and has been most success- ful. Tens of thousands of people right here in Missouri, and tens of thousands of others in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana and more than a score of other states praise Tanlac because of benefits they have de- rived from its use.” MILK DIET GOES; SOLID FOOD NOW!

Severe pains came in my stomach after eating the least thing. The very lightest foods would... just cause, me to. suffer agonie . It had been a long time since I had eaten what I would call big meal, I can tell you. None of the food I did eat was di- gested properly and I was cen- stipated all the time. “Well, I’ve only taken one bottle of Tanlac now but I’m beginning to feel like myself again. I can eat as big a meal as I care for now and without a bit of pain or any other bad after effects. Kverything I eat agrees with me and is di- gested properly. I’m beginning to gain weight now. “I’d tried about every other med- icine i know of before I heard about Tanlac, but none of the others helped me.

The light food I ate didn’t give me the strength I needed and I felt weak and tired out. The housework just tired me out completely. “I've noticed a giadual improve- ment since I started taking Tanlac, I’ve taken two bottles now and I've improved so that I can eat some solid food without suffering the cramp. and pains in my stomach afterward.

HIGHEST AWARD-—-PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION recede, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1917. POP CE I NPE MBE OTR. ET I ee Retiring Chamber of Commerce. Sec- ' “petary Views Offer as ‘Lacking Sincerity. William Flewellyn Saunders, retiring secretary und general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, has declined an offer of a testirnonial dinner, which the Executive Committee had decided to give in his honor. The committee’s ac- tion was taken on the motion of Presi- dent J. Lionherger Davis. Saunders is soon to be succeeded by Paul Vv. Bunn. In his letter to the Executive Commit- tee, Saunders says he is forced to the conclusion that “the offer of this tes- fimonial is without sincerity, and a mere courtesy to an outgoing officer.” His reason for this belief, he says, is that some of the men who voted for the testimonial have attaeked him and tried to weaken his usefulness to the organization, and that others are so un- familiar with the league’s work as not to know what his achievements have | been.

Lord Dunsany’s “The Golden Doorn” does not approach the dramatic stature of ‘“‘The Gods of the Mountain,” but it has an enjoyable vein of satire, and its better adapted to the limitations of the Portmanteau stage than the bigger play. and its moral seems to be that one can always find something to worry about.

The King is persuaded to take the crown from his head and leave it before the door as a sacrifice to the Stars. The same child comes back ard carries away the crown, and the King, on learning that it has disappeared, is happy once more, for have not the stars accepted his sacrifice? *‘Nevertheless,”’ and ‘““The Very Naked Boy,” played as interludes before the curtain, kept Gregory Kelly busy.

Infernal Pilgrim’s Progress. “The Lady of the Weeping Willow Tree,’’ by Walker, is a three-act Jap- anese fantasy. The Gaki of Kokoru, a ghoul who feeds on the misery of mor- tals, is passing through a succession ot hells which seem, from his description, to be arranged somewhat like goli links. He has five more holes, or hells, | to play, and he tries to make one poor woman continuously miserable, her un- ‘happiness being his sustenance. He c.x- tends his attentions to a pair of lov- ers, one of them the woman’s adopte) daughter, who is the embodied spirit of the weeping willow tree. But the victims finally get together on a Polly- anna platform, and the Gaki, aftef se- vere complaints of short rations, re- forms and presumably joins the Y. M. C. A. Some of us, who were rather feJ up with the Gaki, would just as soon have seen him go on to the next one of his hells. McKay Morris played the Gaki, the King in the Dunsany play, and a bur- glar in ‘‘Nevertheless.”” Florence Wol. lefsen played the chief feminine rol in the “Weeping Willow” play, andif Judith Luwry,..Mary.Coates and Nan- cy Winston had important parts. Greg- ory Kelly, who was the boy in the “Lentils” play of the night hefore, found: some call for his juvenile tal- ents in each of the four matinee plays. Marie Woulfe played the harp, which was at no time hung upon the weeping willow tree. ae BURA YE Tar Tae ARE TS sole eae g < Pe SY , I was about to give up n reading in the paperg § hings a new medicine, q s doing for others.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 16.—The worst drouth here since 1888 has caused great damage to Southwest Missouri's wheat crop, farmers say, and, unless relief comes soon, it is feared the crop will be a failure. There has béen little precipitation in this part of the State since last June. Hydroelectric power plants were forced to close down several months ago and towns supplied by them had to revert to their old steam plants. The Springfield Gas and Traction companies have an- nounceé they will build a $250,000 power plant and in the future will not depend upon White River for electric current. ee cA a = Let’s Talk Horse Sense! - You want to buy the right ciga- rette, don’t you?

He was in Cuba ‘and got a medal for killing oodles of Spaniards. Believe me he’s some patri- otic guy, too. He's been wantin’ to go over to the war, but I wouldn't let him.” ‘“Say,’’ interrupted Hailley, ‘I didn’t know you and-he were that thick. No use asking you to go with me to the movie tonight, is there?” “Nothin’ stirrin’. I'm gone with Pete.” “Don't worry, girlie,” said Pete that evening. “If we go to war it will be over in about a menth. I’ll bet my old regiment could walk right through to Berlin. I remember back in '98"?—— “How you goin’ to get to Germany? Ain't they blowin’ up all them ships?’’ “Huh! Them’s English ships. They wouldn't have the nerve to blow up a ship with American soldiers on it. Be- lieve me, one Yankee can lick 1000 of those guys”’—— Jennie looked proudly at Pete. wD wish we had a lot of fighters in this country like you. I bet we'd lick those guys in a couple of weeks,” “Well, it might take three months,” said Pete, “but not no longer.” They got to the movie. The feature was @ great war film, one of the kind where the hero stands off a couple of army corps single handed and is saved from death at the i.ands of :veral other army corps by the prompt arrival of a Red Cross nurse, who forsakes her neutrality. and loads empty revolvers for the hero. “Isn't it grand,” whispered Jennie. “Tiiat may happen to you and me.” “Pete seemed pale and was strangely lent. The air was permeated with smell of powder that had been burned to make th» battle sccne real- istic, : “What's the matter, Pete, don’t y». feel well?” “I guess it’s the powder,” said Pete, feebly. “It r:akss me kinda homestcx, ‘L. guess." Just then Union Operator No. 4% flashed the Stars and Stripes on the screen. Jennie clapped her hands vociferous- ey but Bill's were mute. The lights were turned on and the orchestra played “The Star-Spangied Barner.” The crowd rose to its feet— @ll except Pcte. “Get up,” hissed Jennie, “ain't you got ‘no patriotism?

I ‘watched him all one season when I lived in a hole near his house.” “Well, if you think we need it all, I Rabbit, ‘‘but it will take a long time to plant so much.” “Now, don’t worry about the work, Mr. Rabbit,” said Mr, Fox. ‘‘I’ll do all the planting of this corn myself.” When the corn was all in the ground Mr@ Fox walked over the hill one after- noon and he met Mrs. Brown Hen and her young chicks. Mrs. Brown Hen was not afraid of Mr. Fox, for she knew she was too tough to be tempting, and that her chicks were far too young for Mr. Fox to ed@rry off. -In a few weeks there would be danger in talking to him, but not now. “Tt is pretty hard scratching for you, isn’t it, Mrs. Brown Hen?" said Mr. Fox. as he speculated in his mind how long it would take for the chicks to grow to a good size. Mrs. Brown Hen said it was very hard, as it was just between seasons. Worms were too hard to find; it was too early for the farmers to plant. ‘Mrs. Brown Hen, I will tell you a secret,” said Mr. Fox. “I always did like you, and now I will prove it.” Mrs. Brown Hen gave a start’and a quick look at Mr. Fox, for she knew what it meant to be liked by Mr. Fox, and how he usually proved his liking, it, too,” said Mr. Fox. “Where is it?’’ Hen, eagerly. “T’ll show you, Mrs. said Mr. Fox, “and to prove to you If am not playing any thick on you I won walk a long distance ahead.” fair to her, and to go along; so Mr Fox showed her Mr. Rabbit’s newly ACON: I see tennis courts made of rubber have been inverited by an Mrs. Brown Hen eaid that sounded 7 Englishman.
