JEFFERSON CITY, March 9.—The wives of members of House and Senate Appropriations Committees have suc- ceeded in inducing their husbands to include in the appropriation bill $30,000 for a new kitchen and repairs at the executive mansion. Gov. Gardner recently. said that al- though the condition of the mansion was almost intolerable he would not ask for an appropriation because of the depleted condition of the treasury. Mrs. Sam B. Cook, wife of the Senator from Jefferson City, heard that Mrs Gardner had complained of the condi- tion of the kitchen in the mansion. She interested Mrs. C. M. Buford of Elling- ton, Mrs. J. D. mostetter of Bowling Green, Mrs. D. A. Chestnut of Platte City and Mrs. G. D. Viles of Norborne, whose husbands are on the appropria- tions committee with Senator Cook. The wives appeared before the committe; last night and obtained the money for the new kitchen.

SUES TO GET MONEY BACK Shoe Manufacturer Says No One Questioned Validity of Art Works at Prof. Volpi’s Sale. Jackson Johnson, millionaire shoe manufacturer, has filed suit through his art agents in New York to recover $8400 from Prof. Voipi of Florence, Italy, an art sdler of international renown. Two paintings, Carolus de Mallery.“ represented to Johnson as being the work of Peter Paul Rubens, and Au- gustin Lomellini,”” sold to him as a genuine work of Anthony Van Dyck, have been pronounced to be bogus by a committee of Eastern connoiseurs, in whose hands Jonnson placed them for a verdict. At his home, & Portland place, today, Johnson told a Post-Dispatch reporter he could give none of the details relied upon by the judges to stamp the sup- posed old masters“ as fakes. “T relied upon the judgment of Martin Hofer, my agent, and the catalogued description of the pictures,” he said. 1 am not an expert in matters of art.“ He wanted the pictures for the decoration of his new home, acquired more than 4 year ago, after the destruction of a re- cently built residence in University City. The pictures are still in New York. Pietures Bought “Much Like Shoes.” Johnson said that at sales such as the one conducted in the American Gal- leries in New York last November, un- der the auspices of so well-known a personage as Prof. Volpi, no one ques- tions the authenticity of the claims made for pictures, although purchasers who feel they are not qualified to judge of the works depend on agents to assist them. He said the sellers of these works give no bonds or guarantees, and that the art purchases are made much as one would buy a pair of shoes. Fou put your money down and take the paintings as you would. for and take a pair of shoes from a store,“ he ; “If the shoes do not prove to be what was claimed for them, you try to get your money back. In the pres- ent case the only recourse I have is to the courts“ Johnson has obtained an attachment to the extent of $11,800 through Justice Hotchkiss against any property of Prof. Volpi that may be found in New York. Johnson said that after obtaining two pictures from Prof. Volpi he placed them in the hands of experts at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and that these men for a time disagreed about them. He said it took a month of consideration before the paintings were declared to be not genuine. All the experts had to proceed upon was the characteristics of the painters. John- son said he had been told that the pose of a hand sometimes determined ex- aminers in their judgment. He de- scribed the pictures as being small. “Why, they are only that big,” he said, indicating with his hands a foot or foot and a half square. $1,000,000 Spent at Sale. Johnson said that almost a million dol- lars was spent for art treasures at the Volpi sale. As an instance of the values placed on some of the antiques offered, he mentioned that $66,000 was given for an ancient-looking incense burner, and about $15,000 for an antique cup. The sale of Volpi's collection lasted eight days, and included paintings from the Davanzati Palace and the Villa Pia, Florence. Affidavits filed with the Johnson suit declare the paintings bought by him are worth only about $100 each. Hofer, agent for Johnson, purchased the paintings after correspondence with Thomas E. Kirby of the American Art Galleries, In a statement given out in New York Hofer said he purchased $30,000 worth of art work at the sale, none of which has been questioned except the Johnson paintings.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 9.—‘‘Senatorial courtesy and the club spirit’ will save Senator William Joel Stone of Missouri from being deposed as chair- man of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A poll taken by the Post- Dispatch correspondent reveals that, of 8 Senators interviewed, three publicly expressed themselves in favor of plac- ing another Senator more in accord with the foreign policy of the Government at the head of the committee, 13 are against his removal, and 68 are non- committal. Eleven could not be seen, and one (Senator Stone) was not inter- rogated. The questions asked were: Do you think that, in the circum- stances, Senator Stone should be con- tinued as chairman of the Foreign Re- lations Committee?’’ Do you not think that he should re- sign from office?’’ The three Senators who favor deposing Chairman Stone are Paul O. Husting of Wisconsin and Josiah Wolcott of Dela- ware, Democrats, and Sterling, Repub- lican, of South Dakota. The 13 Senators in favor of his reten- tion are: Cham -riain of Oregon, Gore of Oklahoma, Kirby of Arkansas, Lewis of Illinois, Myers of Montana, Newlands of Nevada, Overman of North Carolina, Reed of Missouri, Thomas of Colorado and Vardaman of Mississippi, Demo- crats; Penrose of Fennsylvania, Smoot of Utah and Townsend of Michigan, Re- publicans.

The following Senators were not reached: Bankhead, Brady, Fernald, Gallinger, Goff,.Johnson of South Da- kota, Johnson of Californla, “mith of Arizona, Smith of Michigan, Tillman and Walsh. Some Senators, particularly Republic- ans, said they would not vote to retain Stone at the head of the Foreign Rela~ tions Committee, but that it was a mat- ter for the Democratic Senators to set- tle. Senators Sherman and Senator Lodge took this position. “| Will Net Resign.” Senator Stone said: i will not resign from the chairman- ship of the Foreign Relations Commit- tec, and I will be left in that position by the Democrats who organize the committee.” Senator Husting said: I should think that Senator Stone would naturally feel that he couldn't serve at the head of the committee at this time. To retain Stone as chairman would be indorsing Lim and repudiating the President, and, by repudiating Stone as chairman, we would show our indorsement of the Fyesident's position. We need men at the head of the Foreign Relations Com- mittee now to help carry out the Pres- ident’s program.“ Senator Wolcott said: “If I was a member of the Democratic steering committee, I would be opposed to retaining Senator Stone as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. 1 believe there is a peculiar necessity for tne chairman of that committee being in accord with the national administra- tion in regard to foreign policies Senator Sterling: “Independently of the President’s statement, I could not favor Stone's retention as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, in view of his position on the armed neu- trality bill.” Senator Smith of South Carolina said: “If I found myself out of harmony with my party on its foréign policy, I should not feel that I would want to continue in a position where I would be called upon to carry out such policy.“ Steering Committee Meeting. The Democratic steering committee, which will select the chairman and other rembers of the Senate committees, will meet today to make assignments. As far as can be learned, Senator Stone has not made any application for the pest of foreign chairman. It is the opinion of Chairman Martin of the ‘com- mittee, and of other Senators, that Sen- stor Stone will be continued in the po- on.

DEFECTIVE CURBING’. ~~ ACCEPTED BY CITY Kinsey Says 12 Cents a Foot Was Deducted From Con- tractor’s Payment. Although condemned by inspectors and admitted by President Kinsey of the Board of Publle Service to be unsightly and in violation of specifi- cations, 1200 feet of curbing around parking places in the middle of Skinker road has been accepted by the city and the contracting concern which did the work has been paid all but $146.56 of the price fixed in the contract. The Webb-Kunze Construc- tion Co. was the contractor. A. C. Kunze, president of the company, is Republican City Committeeman of the Twenty-setond Ward, and is sup- porting Mayor Kiel for renomination. The final payment to the Webb- Kunze Co. was made Feb. 24, on rec- ommendation of Kinsey. The total cost of improving Skinker road te- tween Forsyth avenue and Clayton road was $84,149.73. The contract was let Sept. 10, 1915, and more than a year was spent in finishing the job. Kinsey last September told a Post- Dispatch reporter that the contractors would be penalized for delays, as the contract provided, but now declares that the construction company was not at fault. The curbing which Kinsey says in- spectors condemned as unsightly and improperly finished is in part that which encircles the parking spaces that begin at Wydown avenue. The first of these is 2100 feet long, the second is 360 fet long and the third is 1600 feet long. Each is 21 feet wide. “The curbing is structurally sound, although of poor finish and not ac- cording to specifications,” Kinsey said. “We decided that we could not reconstruct it without weakening the foundation of the street, and no fin- ish could be added once the concrete was hard. The only remedy then was to deduct from the contractor's pay- ment at the rate of 12 cents a foot for 120 feet, which was done. The inspec- tors warned the construction company when the curbing was laid that it was not satisfactory, but for some reasor the condition E not corrected.

War is dreadful, but we cannot pur- chase immunity from it at the sacri- fice of our national honor and the pru- de'itial rights of our citizens.“ Referring to the controversy in the Senate over the President’s request for authority to arm merchant vessels, Mr. Taft declared that the 12 Senators took ad vantage of the rules and unpatriotic- ally killed the Dill by preventing a vi.te.’’ SISTER OF GEN, FRENCH DIES OF A SHELL WOUND Injured When on Dyuty With an Ambulance at Monastir, Servia.

The wealthy parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gaetano Viviano, appear to be evincing no particular perturbation. as time passes, and they have not publicly of- fered any rewards for information. of the missing boy. These circumstances led some detec- tives to speculate upon the possibility of the family being in communication with the abductors, possidly with a view to arranging a financial settlement for the child’s return. To the detectives, how- ever, the family insists that it has had no further word from the abductors other than the one letter of March 1— the day of the adbuction—demanding ransom, but not. stating how or when the money was to be paid. Seven detectives take turns calling at the Viviano macaroni factory, at Sev- enth and Carr streets, to question the father as to whether he has had further word from the abductors. Viviano appeared agitated the first two days of these conferences, but since then, when questioned, he simply has shrugged his shoulders and replled. “Nothing new.“ Three special officers in the Page Boulevard District also keep in touch with the Viviano home, and through a maid in the home as interpreter, talk with Mrs. Viviano. She, too, tells them that the family has had no word, and is relying upon the police to find the boy. Detectives continue to search the downtown Italian quarter and the dis- trict known as “Dago Hm.“ west of King's highway and south of Manchester avenue. but havé found no one who will admit having seen the boy or having heard anything of the child's where- abouts. The only information gathered by de- tectives in the eight days was what had been printed about the statements of Edward Brown, a fireman for the Young Floral Co., and Mrs. Adolph KE. Mon ot Waterman avenue, who had seen a green touring car in the neigh- borhood.

WASHINGTON, March 9.—The Senate today began its deliberations under a new rule which will forever end organ- ized filibusters in that body. If enforced it will prevent any little group of wil- ful men, such as that which President Wilson held tg be responsible for block- ing the passage of the armed neutrality bill, from staving off a vote upon a bill before the Senate. The new rule was adopted by the Sen- ate last night by a vote of 76 to 3. Un- der it, two-thirds of the Senators present and voting can in future limit debate and say when a vote shall be taken on a pending measure. The rule is the one which was agreed to by both the Demo- cratic and Republican caucuses Wednes- day night. In adopting the new rule the Senate is abandoning a century-old custom under which a Senator was permitted to talk as long as his physical strength held out. The new rule was under discussion only six hours when a vote was reached. Those voting against the rule were Sen- ators La Follette, Gronna and Sherman. Provisions of New Rule. Ir brief, the new rule provides that on petition of 16 Senators to close de- hate on a pending measure, the Senate, ty a two-thirds vote, on the following day but one, may limit debate there- after to one hour to each Senator. It includes provisions to prevent dilatory tactics and the introduction after clo- ture is ordered of amendments not ger- rane to the pending bill. Many Senators who favored the change do not look upon it as a cloture rvle such as prevails in the House of Representatives, where the Rules Com- iniitee, with a majority behind it, can set the limits upon speech and the hour for a vote. Others fear that the new rule is but an entering wedge, and that the days of the Senate as the only legis- lative body in the world where there can be full and free discussion, are r umbered. quality was poor. The market has bed $1.20 a hundred pounds since | : — — Before the debate continued long yes- terday it branched inte discussion on the armed neutrality bill, and the Pres- ident’s statement regarding the 12 men who opposed it. There were some bit- ter criticisms of the President and of the newspapers. Senator Cummins de- clured that any man in the Senate or out, “high or low,“ who said he at- tempted or conspired to prevent a vote on the bill “deliberately falsifies.”’ Senator Townsend said the President’s statement was unjust, unfortunate and, in his opinion, unconstitutional, as an aitack upon a co-ordinate branch of the ‘Government. Senator Norris said he favored a clo- ture rule, but was opposed to the armed reutrality bill unless it should be mod- ified. He declared the side of those who cpposed that measure had not reached the people. Senator Smoot said if thé President would call a special session of Congress row and the friends of the armed neu- trality bill would not take all the time, the measure could be passed in three davs after reaching the Senate floor. La Follette Speaks. The last speaker was Senator La Fol- letle, the central figure of the filibus- ter. He said he would not discuss his position on the neutrality bill now, but night have something to say about it later. Pointing out that some of the rost important appropriation bills, in- cluding the navy and army measures, had been presented to the Senate only a short time before March 4, he asked, “were thev so long coming to the Sen- ate because it was undesirable that they he discussed here?“ The army bill was presented, he said, with a provision never before dared to be presenetd to an American Congress— with universal conscription or universal military training embodied in it. Fou pile up legislation of that sort,’’ he continued, and then 48 or 50 hours before the end of the session you bring in a bill that trenches on the constitu- tional authority of Congress and de- mand that debate shall be made to con- form. With this sort of a rule and an iron hand laid on this body from outside, with a Congress that has reduced itself in a little less than three years to little more than a rubber stamp, do vou not think this sort of cloture would be pret- ty effective?“ The Senator read extracts from the Congressional Record of previous de- bates on cloture, showing that many famous Senators had opposed it. J have no apology to make for my action in trying to defeat the armed neutrality bill.“ said Senator Gronna. “I was opposed to that bill, and am now, and if it were before the Senate I should talk against it and should vote against 1 8 When Senator Smith of Georgia said the change in rules would be useful to prevent occurrences such as that of the past week, Senator Stone remarked: “If our action results in the Senate being able to do some business, then the occurrences of last week have not been in vain.”’ A resolution was prepared by Senator McLean of Connecticut requesting the President to call a special session of Congress March 20 because “important measures vital to the honor and safety of the nation require immediate atten- tion.“ a TWO U.

PARIS, March 9.—Willis Haviland and Ronald Hoskier, American avia- tors, were fighting two Germans over Roye Wednesday without noticing three other German machines hover- ing over them at a great height. Suddenly the higher Germens swooped down on the Americans. They were forced to dive. When within 6000 feet, the German anti- aircraft guns opened fire. The Amer- fcans escaped, but their machines were riddled. Walter Lovell and Harold Willis, both of Boston, and Edward Kenkle of New York, nave joined the escadrille at the front.

LOUIS WATER BILL Over Gives City Jurisdiction Rates Instead of State Commission. JEFFERSON CITY, March 9. — The Kinney bill to take the St. Louis Water Department from the jurisdiction of the Missouri Service Commission, which has had the joint opposition of the pri- vately owned public utility corporations of the State and the State Commission, was saved from defeat in the House to- day by Representative Farris, Demo- cratic floor leader. Speaker Watson, who was opposed to the bill’ and who voted against it, re- fused to recognize McPherson of St. Louis, who demanded that the absen- tees be called on the roll call, and it was not until Farris made the same request that the Speaker recognized any- body. Senator Conway Elder of St. Louis, a Republican, was in the House cloakroom uring members to vote against the bill, and several other Republicans opposed it, notwithstanding the almost unanit- mous demand of St. Louis business or- ganizations and city officials that the bill be passed, When it was heard before the House Commitee the only argument against it was by a representative of a public utility company. When the roll was called the bill had received only 69 votes, three les than enough to pass it. The rare: hurriedly announced the vote closed and directed the clerks to tally it. Realizing it was defeated unless a few more votes were obtained, Me- Pherson tried to get the Speaker to have called the names of members who had not voted when first called, a proceeding carried on many times each day in the House. He was not recognized, but Farris succeeded in having the call made. Exactly thé number of votes needed was obtained. The St. Loula members voting for the bill Were Blesse, Erman, Howes, McNa- mara, McPherson, Moroney, Osiek. The St. Louis members against it were Brinkman, Lavx. The St. Loulsans ab- sent were Connor, Depetheur, Hogan, Horner, Schueddig, Trieseler and Wol- fley. A greater number of votes probably would have been cast for the bill had not Heather of Marion County succeeded in amending it to make it apply to all municipaily owned public utilities in the State instead only of the St. Louis wa- torworks. Some members opposed it with that amendment, on the ground that it was weakening the power of the Public Serv- ice Commission. The bill now goes back to the Senate for concurrence in the House amend. ments. An effort will be made to have the Senate refuse to concur in the jamendments, and to send the bill to a conference committes, | TESTIFIES TO HOPE FOR LLOYD GEORGE'S DEATH Mrs. Wheeldon on Stand at Trial for Poison Plot Against Premier. LONDON, March 9—The taking of testimony in the trial of Mrs. Alice Wheeldon, her two daughters and Alfred George Mason, husband of one of the daughters, was resumed today before Justice Low in the Old Bailey. The pris- oners are charged with conspiring to murder Premier Lloyd George and Arthur Henderson, Labor member of the War Council. The case was delayed yesterday be- cause of the illness of a juror, which nécessitated the swearing in of a new jury and the repetition of the testimony submitted up to that time. Mrs. Wheeldon in her testimony today admitted she often had expressed the hope that the Premier and Mr. Hen- de-s0n would soon be dead. At the mo- rent of this expression it represented her wishes, she testified. No Wish to Take Life. On being questioned whether the poi- son which she testified previously - had been obtained to kill dogs, would not have been just as available to get rid of Premier Lloyd-George and Mr. Hen- derson, the witness said: J did not desire it to be Carried out. I never wished to take anybody's life or to have anybody's blood on my con- science. That is why I objected to the army taking conscientious objectors.”’ Mrs. Wheeldon declared various occur- rences, which, the Crown contends, fit in with its case, were all coincidences. told her Premier Lloyd George was re- sponsible for Lord Kitchener's death wecause Lloyd George was to have gone tu Petrograd, but the plan was changed two hours before the time of departure and the escort arranged for him was withdrawn. Girl Prisoner Testifies. Miss Harriet Wheeldon testified that she knew nothing about the poison. When Premier Lloyd George was going to Rome she said that he might be seeing his majesty soon,“ meaning the Almighty, she said, as there was a pos- sibility that the Premier would be shot while in Rome. Miss Wheeldon explained that a code used by her family was a joke at first with an effort to get her brother and other ‘conscientious objectors’’ out of the country. She testified that she had suspected the secret agents, Gordon and Booth, of being police spies, but that her mate did not agree with her. BALTINORE MAN HELD FOR “THREATENING PRESIDENT Boo Papers He Had Taken te Rieste He Was in Plot; j Denies the Charge. BALTIMORE, March 9.—Amos_ HI. Pauhl, 62. years of age, has been held for the Federal grand jury by United States Commissioner Supplee, on the charge of having made threats against the President. Books and papers in Pauhl’s posses- sion contain statements that he is a member of a secret organization which Government officials believe has for its object the assassination of the Presi- nt. Pauhl came here from York, Pa., and Special Agent Wright testified he had a long criminal record, including assault to kill, arson and larceny. Pauhl testi- fied that the killing of the President had been ordered by an organization and lots were drawn to gelect the one for the deed, he being chosen. A railroad tick- et to Washington was found on him. He said there would have been no hitch if he had not become intoxicated.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. * want to thank you for your editorial Sunday entitled “Gumshoe Bill. If ever a State had cause to be dis- heartened and discouraged over a man who is supposed to represent them in the highest body in the United States, this grand State of Missouri has cause for animosity towards its representative in the United States Senate, Bill Stone. In fact, he is not representing the thought and feelings of the majority of the people of this State when he took the stand he did against the armed neutrality bill, and his actions have put the State in a false light. If by any means his recall is possible, Missouri should take steps to remove Bill Stone from the Senate as soon as possible. If it is impossible to recall him, a measure should be passed, in our State Legisla- ture, repudiating the stand he took against the President’s bill, and the State should, in the interests of the country, call upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to oust Stone from that body. 3 This letter from me will perhaps seem strange to you when I say that my fa- ther was born and raised in Germany. AMERICA FOREVER. More Houstons Needed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Among the good things of your last Sunday’s paper was the picture of Secre- tary of Agriculture Houston and the able, unpretentious, instructive. article, such as we now expect from the pen of such a man. Are there not more Hous- tons for places in the councils of the President, in this unprecedented epoch in the history of our country? What a pity that Missouri has not found such men a3 representatives in the United States Senate. Intellectual, self-poised, dignified, patriotic, there would be no desertions, hysteria or cheap political from such men, to embarrass the President in his supremely cour- ageous, patriotic efforts, in this epoch in our country's history, which is with- out précedent to guide him.

Those who say he is no American are no Ameri- cans—they are British and lovers of the British flag. Let them go to England and fight under that flag and let the Stars and Stripes in peace. Why should us innocent Americans fight for the game of the millionaires‘ of Wall street and the many others of this country? I believe in fighting for justice, but not for any unjust cause, as our Missouri Senator showed his attitude in the re- cent international crisis which, if car- ried out the way some people thought it should have been, would resulted in war. Senator Stone should be our next President, as he deserves it, and I would certainly vote for him, although 1 am no Democrat, but he deserves every loy- al American's vote, and those that knock him now will say so before.the next election.

HOUSE Speaker Watson Uses Gavel to Prevent Members From Reply- ing to Message’s Statement. READ By a Staff Correspondent of the Poat-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, March 9.—The controversy over the attitude of Sen- ator Stone on the armed noutrality bill in the closing hours of Congress, came near arousing the House of Representatives this morring, when Harry B. Hawes of St. Louis, rising to a question of privilege, read a telegram from Senator Reed defend- ing Stone. Speaker Watson used his gavel to prevent replies by other members, who sought to discuss the telegram from the floor. In the telegram Reed, who has been active in defend- ing Stone, said Stone's speech was not of unsual length. Representative Farris of Phelps County, Democratic floor leader, was on his feet as soon as Hawes finished reading the telegram, and shouted: “Will the Junior Senator from Mis- sourt explain to us what is a speech of unsual length in the closing hours of the Senate? I think four hours and a half is a speech of uhusual length. The Junior Senator had bet- ter keep out of this. He has been on the verge of trouble with the people of Missouri.” The Speakers gavel shut him off and he took his seat. Telegram From Reed. The telegram from Reed follows: ‘In reply to your telegram, will state that the Congressional Record proves beyond peradventure that Senator Stone did not engage in a filibuster to pre- vent the passage of what is known as the armed ship bili. Moreover, the record clearly shows tnat Senator Stone exerted himself to the utmost to bring the bill before Con- gress at the earliest possible moment anc to procure a vote upon it before adjournment. The record shows that Senator Stone ints oduced the bill the moment the com- mittee had completed the bill; that he asked that the bill be immediately read twice and referred back to the comniit- tee, which, as you know, is a necessary leyisiative step. He stated that the committee wotld iinmediately — the bill back to the Senate. y After it had been read once and be- fore it could be read a second time, La Follette objected to a second read- ing on the same calendar day. “In order to lose no time, Senator Stone moved to adjourn at a few mo- ments before midnight, and that the Senate reconvene at 20 minutes past mid- night. “Done to Rush Passage.” “This was done by Senator Stone to rush the passage of the bill. “The bill was immediately reported back to Senator Stone, who, at the first possible moment, moved to make it the unfinished business. Having placed the bill in this fa- vorable position, and, because he was desirous of offering an amendment, he turned the management over to Senator Hitchcock, who was in favor of the bill without amendment. He offered an amendment which, if adopted, would have left the bill so the President would have had ample funds and full author- ity, but would have provided that the guns furnished by the American Gov- ernment should not be placed upon ships carrying munitions of war to bel- ligerents. He urged that a vote be taken upon his amendment and upon the bill. The speech he made was not of un- usual length and was a great constitu- tional and patriotic utterance. “After Senator Stone had concluded, certain Senators, who really believed that Congress ought to be in session if war were to be declared, prolonged the debate undoubtedly with the inten- tion to prevent the passage of important revenue bills, thus forcing a reconvening of Congress. I am sure this would have resulted if Senator Stone had not cf- fered an amendment or made a speech at all. No bill can be passed in the face of bitter opposition when introduced so near the end of a session. “The pretense that Senator Stone has been endeavoring to \harrass the Presi- dent is unwarranted and grossly ab- surd in view of his long and faithful co-operation with the President's plans. “Only a few weeks ago he brought in the resolution which endorsed the Pres- ident’s action in severing diplomatic re- lations with —.— He held this nied — ä—— TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE DANDRUFF There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it.

GRAND JURY INQUIRY Land Commanding West Point Said to Have Been Purchased by Ernest Sekunna. NEW YORK: Marth 9.— Evidence de- signed to show that Dr. Chandre Chak- raberty, a Hindu physician, and Ernest Sekunna, a German chemist, received more than ‘$60,000 from Wolf von Igel, a member of the staff of Count von Bernstorff, former German Ambassador in the United States, upon the order of Dr. Alfred Zimmermann, German For- eign Minister, with which to foment a rebellion in India, is reported to have been presented to a special Federal grand jury here. The information was contained in pa- pers confiscated in the Government’s raid on Von Igel's offices in Wall street while seeking evidence in the plot against the Welland Canal. The papers were officially used by the Government for the first time yesterday, it was stated, the utilization having heretofore been prevented by the vigorous protests of Count von Bernstorff. Although the papers had been taken from the jurisdiction of the local Fed- eral courts to Washington, Count von Bernstorff failed to take advantage of the Attorney-General’s offer to return any papers identified by him as official documents. Papers Before Grand Jury. The documents were taken to the grand jury room by Capt. William B. Offley, divisional superintendent of the Department of Justice, under whose di- rection virtually all of the German plot and propaganda arrests in this city have been made. The Zimmermann order was obtained by Dr. Chakraberty in the summer of 1915, when he went to Berlin for the spe- cial purpose of interesting the German Foreign Office in his Indian rebellion, according to the Government agents. It is not believed that the Zimmermann memorandum is an autograph letter, but it is understood to have been written in his office at his dictation after Dr. Chakraberty’s scheme had been ap- proved. — Although Dr. Chakraberty and Se- kunna spent some of the money obtained from Von Igel in $3000 and $4000 pay- ments, the authorities are investigating a large sum said to have been investe: in Dr. Chakraberty’s name. He has $15,000 in savings banks, 315,000 invested in negotiable securities and title to two houses in uptown Manhattan, the Gov- ernment claims. Both suspects were taken to the Tombs when their bail bonds of $25,000 each were suddenly canceled by their bonding company. An official of the company declared it had acted through patriotic motives and announced that in the future bonds would not be issued tv persons arrested for violation of neu- trality lau s.

The long and honorable public career of Senator Stone, his high intelligence, his patriotism, his democracy and an unaltering devotion to the President, ought to be a sufficient answer to those who seek to impugn his motives.” & ALDERMAN IS ACCUSED OF DISTURBANCE ON STREET CAR Fdward Scholl of 21%3A Bremen ave- nue, Alderman for the Second Ward, wne booked for trial in Judge Sanders’ ec urt today on a charge of disturbing the peace of Edwin Moore, a street car ecnductor, but the case was continued until tomorrow.

LONDON, March 9.—Count ven Zeppe- lin suffered from dysentery. for some time prior to his death at noon yester- day at Charlottenburg, near Berlin, and a complication of the malady necessitat- ed an intestipal operation, says a Berlin dispatch to Reuters by way of Amster- dam. The operation was successful and his recovery was hoped for, when mumps lungs. It was difficult for him to re- ceive nourishment and his power of re- sistance was considerably weakened. The London morning newspapers today print long obituaries of Count Zeppelin, whose career is reviewed in most in- stances dispassionately and in some cases with tributes to his patriotism and perseverance. Justice is done to the re- markable development of the Zeppelin airship as a traveling machine, although the achievements in aerial navigation associated with Count Zeppelin’s name are ascribed to his engineers rather than to himself. The reputed ambition of Count Zeppelin to lay London in ruin and his alleged confidence in the ability of his machines to achieve this object are recalled. Served in Union Army. Count Zeppelin celebrated his seventy- eighth birthday in Stuttgart, July 8 last. He served with the Union forces in the United States during the Civil War. He subsequently became 4 balloon en- thusiast, but it was not until he was 70 years old that he became famous as the builder of the world's first practical dirigible balloon. He had spent all his personal fortune, amounting to nearly $1,000,000, in air experiments. On his seventy-fifth birth- day he navigated his twentieth airship. Emperor William, before the European war began, proclaimed Count Zeppelin to be “the greatest German of the twentieth century.“ As a token of ap- preciation he conferred upon him the exalted order of the Black Eagle, the highest honor in the Emperor's power. It was in the United States that Count Zeppelin made his first balloon ascen- sion, It occurred while he was follow- ing Gen. Carl Schurz in the Civil War as a military observer for the German army. A captive balloon in use for military observation. by Union troops greatly interested the young German officer, and he was taken up in it in 1863.

Retrieved Most of His Fortune. At the close of his remarkable career, Count Zeppelin had retrieved a large part of his fortune. He trained his son, alec an army officer, in the sclence of aeronautics, and especially in his meth- cds of building dirigible balloons. He a.s0 made an accomplished aeronaut of his daughter, who has made more than 10% flights in the airships her father feshioned.

LONDON, March 9.—The remarkable document issued yesterday by the spe- cial commission which was appointed to inquire into the Dardanelles expedition makes public some of the testimony giv-, en by the notable figures concerned in the ill-fated operation, among them the First Sea Lord, and Herbert Henry Asquith, then Premier. Such revelations seldom have been published in time of war by any Government. The entire country, particularly parti- sans on the controversy which was waged over the parts played in the Dardanelles drama by Churchill, Lord Fisher, Kitchener and Asquith, have read these revelations with most intense interest. . No other document concerning the war has thrown so much light upon the inner history of the operations. The com- mission discussed the whole system of British management of naval and mil- itary affairs, from the methods of the Premier himself to those of the junior members of the sea lord's board, and @xpounds critical conclusions with per- fect frankness. Far from settling controversies, the document appears likely to bring up an interesting case of Winston Spencer Churchill versus Jacky“ Fisher, or at least to leave the friends of those lead- |. ing ors in the situation with subject matter for debate as lasting as that surrounding McClellan's campaign in the American Civil War. } Lord Cromer’s Pen Discernible, This was Lord Cromer’s last public work. -His pen is discernible through- out the document, which he signed, on his death bed. The witnesses examined included, besides those already named, Viscount Grey, former Secretary for Foreign Affairs; Arthur J. Balfour, for- mer First Lord of the Admiralty, and now Foreign Secretary; Prime Minister Lloyd George, the Marquis of Crewe, former president of the Board of d- ucation; Reginald McKenna, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Vis- count Haldane, former Lord High Chan- cellor, who were members of Mr. As- quith’s Cabinet—all the principal per- sonages connected with the expedition except Earl Kitchener—and also Lord Fisher, Admiral Sir Arthur Knyvet Wil- son and other sea lords; Admiral Car- den, Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, who com- manded the naval and land operations, and many lesser officials. The management of the war dévolved in November, 1914, upon a War Council of the Cabinet, consisting of Premier Asquith, Earl Kitchener and Churchill, with Sir Edward Grey, Lloyd George and the Marquis of Crewe, then heads of the Foreign, Treasury and India of- fices, participating, but with compara- tively inactive advisory functions. Sea Lords Fisher and Wilson were with Churchill, and Gen. Murray, Chief of Staff, was with Earl Kitchener, theo- retically as technical advisers, but in practice, according to the report, usual- ly playing silent parts. The commission was struck with the atmosphere. of vagueness and want of precision which sens to have character- ised the proceedings of the War Coun- cil.” Different members, the report says, sometimes left the council with different views as to whether certain questions had been really decided or only provisionally. The Marquis of Crewe and Viscount Haldane expresed the opinion that political members did toc much talking and that the experts took small parts in the discussions. Churchill testified that Asquith and Kitchener settled matters,” although hé had the same authority ab they, The view was over- modest. The cabinet as a body placed all responsibility on the douncil, some- times requesting that it was not to be tæ ld of occurrences, on the ground that the fewer who knew of them the bet- ter. : Kitchener’s Dominance. Fadrl Kitchener's dominating influence pervades the testimony. The commis- sion says he would not impart full in- formation of his plans, even to thd War Council. Churchill described him as all powerful, imperturbable and re- red,“ adding: “He dominated abso- utely our counells at this time. The be- Hef that he had plans deeper and wider than any we could see silenced misgiv- N..“ ) Gen. Murray testified that he was never asked to express an opinion on Ulme military plan. The situation at the admiralty was different. Churchill was net a professional man, like Earl Kitch- oner, and he consulted Fisher and wu. son. Lord Fisher testified that he was “dead against the naval operation alone, because he knew it must be a failure.” The commission comments on this Statement as follows: “He did not at uny time record any such strongly ad- verge opinions as these. Neither does he appear to have impressed others with the strength of his objection.” II Admirajs Fisher and Wilson said they silent. at .the councils when they disagreed as a defer to the civil head of the admira or resign, 5 Winston Spencer Churchill, then First : Lord of the Admiralty; Lord Fisher, |} Italy, then neutrals, and relieve Pres- sure on Russia. Gen. Hamilton said Kitchener thought the operation would stave off Bulgaria's entrance into the war, occupy 200,000 Turks for nine months, and hearten Russia. Lord Fisher on Use of Sea Power. The view of Lord Fisher as to the use of the British sea power in the war is a notable feature of the report. After the decision of the war council had been taken and the expedition begun, Lord Fisher, according to a separate report submitted by W. F. Roch, Liberal mem-'! — — natant — ͤ — ber of the House of Commons, did every- thing in his power to assist. His whole theory of the use of the sea power was embodied in a memorandum submitted to Premier Asquith in January, 1915, as follows: ; “The Germans have already endeav- cred, without success, to scatter our naval strength by attacks on our trade and by submarines and mines. The pressure of sea power is a slow process and requires great patience. In time it will almost certainly compel the enemy to seek a decision at sea.

Oo. of St. Louis, "ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH BIPARTISAN LAW FOR SCHOOL BOARD NEAR ENACTMENT Nomination Would Equal Elec- tion, Under Measure Now Before Senate. JEFFERSON CITY, March 9.—If the Senate completes its calendar today, the St Louis bi-partisan School Board bill probably will be enacted before night. The bill provides that each party may nominate only half the number of mem- bers to be elected to the St. Louis Board of Education at any election. It would mean that nomination would be equiva- lent to election. The bill was introduced jointly in both houses. Senator Joe Bro- gan is its sponsor in the Senate; Repre- sentative Connor of St. Louis in the House. ' The House bill has been passed, and is on today's Senate calendar for pas- Rage. The Senate bill went to engrossment without serious opposition, but probably will die in the -engrossment calendar if the House bill is passed by the Senate. A bipartisan School Board bill for St. Louis was introduced by Representative Blesse early in the session. It provides that members of the board should be appointed by the Mayor in equal ratio from the two major parties. Senator Brogan said he favored the selection of board members by party action, rather than through appointment by the Mayor, and the bill now up for passage in the Senate was drawn to cover this feature of the Blesse bill. Board Members See Danger in New Proposal. The bipartisan school board bill, affecting St. Louis, is causing consid- erable discussion among those closely interested in the affairs of the Board of Education as to its. probable pur- pose. Frank X. Hiemenz and other members of the board learned of the bill only yesterday. The bill, on its face, does not show whether its purpose is to bring about the jnomination of board members in the primary elections or by party conventions. It was pointed out by Hiemenz to a Post- Dispatch reporter that if its purpose was to nominate by party conventions it would give each- party machine the right to name half of the members, and as the nominations in the convention would amount vir- tually to the election of the men named, the public would have no re- course, and would be forced to ac- cept unfit candidates, if such were selected by the political machines. Nominations Would Elect. If it is the purpose of the bill to throw the selection of board members into the primary, it was pointed out, any num- ber of candidates for the places might file, but only half the number to be elected could be nominated on each party ticket, under the law. Thus, if there were six members to be elected, each party would be limited to the nom- ination at the primary election to three candidates. Their nominations would be virtual elections. The desire of local Democratic politi- clans to keep a proportional representa- tion on the board, under all cireum- stances, probably caused the introduc- tion of the bill, board members. said. Since 1897 an agreement has existed between the Democratic and Republican parties to keep the board bipartisan by conferring in conventions and deciding upon the nominations of an equal num- ber of candidates of each party. Each party selects a full ticket, and in the conferences the names of half of the candidates are withdrawn, leaving those agreed upon by the conventions as the candidates to be elected. This agreement has been broken, when fights on certain candidates arose. In 1915 the Democrats refused to accept the candidates named by the Republicans, and the latter then refused to accept those named in the Democratic conven- tion. Js resulted in the fight being car- rea to the polls, and all the Republic- an candidates were elected, making the board Republican by eight to four. C. tiie removal of August H. Kuhs, the f.epublican majority was cut down to three through the appointment by May- ur Kiel of A. Holt Roudebush, a Demo- crat, to the vacancy. INAUGURAL DAY CHANGE TO BE URGED WHEN CONGRESS MEETS President’s Ilimess Will Be Used as Argument in Favor of Date in Last Week of April. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Congress at its next session will be asked to pass a constitutional amendment changing the inaugural day from March 4 to the last Thursday in April. Announcement to that effect was made today, following a meeting of the Wash- ington members of the National Commit- tea on the change of the inauguration day. President Wilson, who is suffering from a severe cold on account of ex- posure Monday. will be asked to help in obtaining the passage of the proposed amendment. “The dangerous weather this year em. phasized the necessity for a change, said a member of the committee. “Pres. ident Harrison died from exposure on inauguration day and other prominent men have died or become seriously in from exposure.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 9.—The bill providing for contests of election on con- stitutional amendments was passed by the House today and is ready for the Governor's signature. The bill passed the Senate some time ago. It provides that results of con- stitutional amendment elections may be contested before the Supreme Court as j elections for State office are contested. | „ bene BROUGHT UP IN UP IN "SENATE Preticted Debate of Proposition to Pay $15,000,000 for Separation of Panama Will Last Three Weeks. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Another long fight over the treaty with Colom- bia under which the United States would pay that republic $15,000,000 for the sep- aration of Panama, was indicated last night in the Senate's first executive ses- sion when Chairman Stone of the For- PRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1917 eign Relations Committee called the treaty up for congideration. Several Republican Senators objected to immediate consideration because of the absence of leading opponents of the treaty, and after a short discussion it was sent back to the committee to get a fresh start. Senator Penrose said de- bate on the treaty would last at least three weeks. Sending the treaty back to committee will give an opportunity for confirma- tion of nominations which failed at the last session and were returned by Presi- dent Wilson for further consideration.

ISANTIAGO TAKEN AND CUBAN REBELS FLEE FROM C Washington Informed That Gov- ernment Forces Have Re- gained Control. ARMS ARE THROWN AWAY Victory, Folowing Capture of ‘Leader, Viewed as Mark- ing Rebellion’s Collapse. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Official dis- patches to the Navy Department today established that Cuban Government forces have regained control of San- tiago, the stronghold of the rebel up- rising. President Menocal has notified this Government that Gov. Munoz, in com- mand there, represents him and the recognized Cuban Government. The re-possession of Santiago and the capture of the rebel leader, Gomez, and his staff, is received here as marking the collapse of the rebellion. Today’s dispatches do not say whether there was a fight, but say the rebels, ‘‘real- izing they were traitors about to be captured,“ threw away their arms and fled to the outskirts. It appears from the dispatches, which are incomplete, that the Munoz forces took the city by a coup within it and before troops marching on Santiago had arrived. Munoz previously had declared himeelf loyal to President Monocal and the Gov- ernment and at his request American forces were landed to protect foreign interests in case the departing rebels should attempt to re-enter after having gathered their forces outside. Four Hundred Men From U. S. War- ship Land at Santiago. SANTIAGO, Cuba, March 9.— Four hun- dred men from American warships have landed and taken charge in Santiago. The cane flelds and the Union Sugar Mills at San Luis, 10 miles north of San- tiago, are burning. The people of San Luis are greatly alarmed and have built barricades in the streets, expecting an attack from the rebels. The Americans were landed from the mine layer San Francisco, the cruiser Olympia, the gunboat Petrel and the gunboat Machias. The people of Santiago have regained confidence since the landing of the Americans. There has been no fighting here since. Heavy fighting is reported in the vicinity of Palm Soriano. Many civilians are saving the city to join the Constitutionalist army. Government forces commanded by Col. Varona have landed at Antilla, on the northern coast of Oriente Province, di- rectly across the island from Santiago. Landing of Marines in Cuba Reported te Washington. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Landing of American marines and bluejackets at Santiago, Cuba, was reported today in dispatches to the State and Navy de- partments. The reports said there had been no fighting in the city or its sub- urbs up to miunight last night. The naval forces were sent ashore by Commander Belknap, commanding the United States squadron in Santiago har- bor, on his own responsibility and at the request of the civil Governor. An attack on the city by rebel forces was impending and Commander Belknap put his men ashore to prevent loss of for- eign lives and destruction of foreign property. BURLESON ‘DIVORCING POSTAL SERVICE FROM POLITICS’ Champ Clark Says His Policy Cost Democrats Many Seats in New Congress. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Repre- sentative Mondell of Wyoming, Re- publican, who conferred with Post- master-General Burleson, yesterday, by invitation, said the Postmaster- General told him that his order or Wednesday providing for modified civil service for first, second and third class postmasters after April 1 was in pursuance of his purpose to divorce completely the postal service from politics. Speaker Clark commented upon Burleson's practice of appointing the highest man on the civil service list in filling fourth-class postmastership vacancies. “To my mind,” he said, “that raised more Cain in politics than anything else, and it is one of the main rea- sons the next house is so close. Peo- ple in a Democratic district want a Democrat in office as postmaster.” Win Gtwe Foeur-Act Comedy Drama.

SEATILE, Wash., March 9%.—De- scribed by the prosecution as a man “most of whose life had been occupied in bootlegging and gambling,’ and by opposing counsel as a murderer and habitual criminal, Logan Bil- lingsley, principal witness for the United States Government in the case ugainst Mayor Hiram C. Gill and oth- ers, gave testimony today concerning his operations as a systematic violat- or of prohfbition laws in Oklahoma, West Virgina and Washington. The defendants, besides Mayor Gill, are Chief of Police Charles L. Beck- ingham; former sheriff Robert T. Hodge and four detectives, indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for alleged importation of intoxicating liquor. Billingsley, who, with his brothers, operated drug stores, swore he was compelled to pay a fixed sum per barrel to the four city detectives for the whiskey that he got through. He said an arangement with Gill was made last August by which his pros- ecution by the city officials was to be dropped. Billingsley swore before the Grand Jury that the return of the letters and telegrams containing liquor orders was part of the service for which he paid a bribe of $4000 cash to Gill. BOY, II. EXONERATED AFTER KILLING HIS FATHER’S SLAYER Coroner’s Jury Frees Lad From All Blame in Connection With Kansas Feud. CROWEBURG, Ky., March 9.— Joe Vinardi, 11 years old, went back to school here today, freed by law for having avenged the Killing of his father. A coroner’s jury late yester- day returned a verdict that freed him from all blame tn conection with the death here last Monday night of Mike Gilio, suitor for the hand of his sister, and enemy of Giancento Vi- nardi, the boy’s father. “He killed daddy,” said the boy the jury, “then I killed him.” A feud had sprung up between the two men, because of Gilio’s atten- tions to Vinardi’s daughter. They met Monday night, one with a shot- gun and the other with a revolver, and both, next day, were found dead It was believed, at first, they had killed each other, but the inquest re- vealed that another had stepped into the tragedy. It was the 11-year-old boy. to RED CROSS WORK IN SERVIA IS DESCRIBED American Director Declares Un- preparedness There Was Like That Here. When Dr. Edward W. Ryan, one of the directors of the American Red Cross, reached Belgrade, Servia. in Septem- ber, 1914, with a staff of three surgeons and eight nurses, to take charge of the general military hospital, he found 500 wounded men there under the care of one medical man and a corps of un- trained volunter nurses. Servia had a Red Cross organization. Dr. Ryan told a Post-Dispatch reporter, at the Jefferson Hotel today, and it was about as efficient as the American Red Cross was until recently. If Ameri- ca had been invaded instead of Servia, ee ee | * he said, there would have been the same degree of unpreparedness to care for the men who fell in battle. In the ensuing 4 months Dr. Ryan and his staff, which was increased to 12 surgeons and 2 nurses, handled 27. oo wounded men, of whom about 15,000 were allies and the other 12,000 men of the central Powers. Dr. Ryan was made Girector of the nine Bellgarde hospitals, but the American Red Cross staff con- fined its work to the General Military Hospital, the capacity of which was in- creased to 2000. Dr. Ryan, after 14 nicnths, came out of Servia and spent six months in other warring countries, but returned last July and remained un- til January. He ts here assisting in the Ked Cross campaign. He will speak tonight at the Odeon and tell some of his experiences. Wounded Men Brave. “It is impossible,“ said Dr. Ryan, for the wildest imagination to conceive the conditions in Europe. They have to be seen.

The rule limiting debate was adopted after only six hours of debate and with but three opposing votes. This brilliant victory for the President is the most important achievement so far placed in his remarkable record as a breaker of precedents. Under the pressure of popular sentiment the growth of Senate conviction favoring some form of cloture reached the culminating point with the outrageous spectacle with whith the Sixty-fourth Congress closed. Undeterred by prior failure, the President in- stantly assailed the deficiency that perpetuated this one point of dangerous infirmity and feeble- ness in our governing system. The issue which might otherwise have been evadable, as it has been evadable during the years of the past, was made inescapable. The President employed the powerful logic of actualities, not merely the logic of poten- tial evils. The “irremovable obstacle” in the Senate was hurled aside by the gathering of an irresistible force. With the army left unprovided for at a moment of peril and defense for jeopardized ship- ping neglected, what could the dismayed advocates of unrestricted chatter offer further? What re- mained of the contention that the lack of cloture had never resulted and never would result to the nation’s hurt? The rule adopted is narrow in efficacy and scope. It can be invoked with profit only when exception- ally favorable circumstances are present. But it is a long step in advance, longer than any step that will subsequently be taken in the Senate’s evolution into a real legislative body. The handicap in,the adoption of even the sim- plest form of clture in the past has been the fact that filibustering could be employed against it with exactly the same facility as against any other measure—as against the ship-arming measure last week, But assent has at last been obtained to a change under which dilatory debate on a genuine cloture measure can be checked. 8 A rule to prevent legislative measures of vital national importance from being talked to death cannot itself be talked to death at some future time when the Senate desires to go farther. The country, which very earnestly desired this change, congratulates the Senate. In becoming a legislative body, it need not cease also to be a de- liberative body. sa. & & - -— Se THE MICROBES AND THE BURGLAR. That story from Chicago about the burglar who bathed his cut hand in a basin of water containing myriads of deadly germs sounds al- most too plausible to be true. One can hope that it is exaggerated without being suspected of mawkish sympathy for a wrongdoer. The thief, according to the story, cut his hand when robbing a dentist’s offic He went into a doctor's office on the floor below and washed the wound in water in which the doctor had. placed some cultures he had been using in a bacterio- logical investigation. The physician is quoted as saying that the wretched man undoubtedly will be on an operating table somewhere within a week. One hopes that no bacteriologist would be so careless and unscientific as to leave millions of death-dealing microbes in an open container where anybody might easily become contaminated through accident. Somehow or otber, doctors don’t do that sort of thing outside of fiction sto- ries as a general rule, and it is a strain upon the credulity to think that the victim of such negligence should be a malefactor actually, de- serving of severe punishment. Nevertheless it often happens that as strange things do happen in real life as any fiction writer ever imagined and this may be one of the instances. If the story should be true and the wretched business come to its logical sequence, it will not be easy to draw a satisfactory moral from the tale. The margin of ghance is too small for com- fort. One might call it “retributive justice” in the case of the burglar, but what could it be called if, instead of being a thief, the unhappy victim had been some chance visitor or even a relative of the bacteriologist? = = — ww TERRIFIC LASHING FOR STONE. Several days have passed since Senator Stone and the small group who arrayed themselves be- hind the banner of La Follette betrayed thei: country’s interests in the time of crisis. They have been days of gathering wrath and the storm of resentment throughout the land is great- er now than it ever was. Second thought has added to popular rage instead of allaying it. The press of the entire country speaks in almost one voice of condemnation. Contributors to the “Letters from the People” columns of all the papers have joined in the chorus of execration. Twenty-six contributors to the Post-Dispatch open forum in one day rebuked Senator Stone's share in the business, while only one commended it. Bitterly as the Senator has been assailed by the press and public of his own State, and especially of its three largest cities, he has been even more bitterly assailed outside of Misséuri. ‘Missouri feels disgraced and ashamed of Sen- ator Stone and Representatives Shackelford and Decker,” says the St. Joseph News-Press. “Missourians will observe with profound hu- miliation that a leader of this band who conspired to make the United States contemptible before the world is William J. Stone,” says the Kansas City Star. “The last week has been a revelation of ‘little’ Americaniém that has been as astonishing as it was disgraceful,” says the Philadelphia Inquirer. It bas shown that there are some men in Con- 1 known as Gumshoe Bill, makes a noise like a German legion. Their constituents should break off rela- tions “brusquely” with Gumshoe Bill and his backers in the Senate. Serves the Pkesident right for having made Bill Stone his guide, philosopher and friend. Caesar had his Brutus, Washington his Benedict Arnold, and now Wilson has his Stone. Senator Stone comes from Missouri and it is about time someone shows him. If the support of the German press and the . — press in this country is of com- fort to the Senator, he is welcorhe to it. = = = — a ae A NEW ERA FOR OUBA. Perhaps Jose Miguel Gomez had a good dea! of @xcuse for attempting insurrectionary bluffs too often. Once before when he attempted such a bluff it made him President of the Cuban re- public. The outcome of a second attempt finds him disastrously defeated in a heavy battle, a prisoner in the hands of his political enemies and facing a not uncommon end for Latin-American Presidents—execution by the firing squad. When the Washington of Cuba, Thgmas Estrada Palma, after one most creditable term as Presi- dent, ran for a second election, Gomez was his opponent. Whatever may have happened in the primaries, there can be no doubt of the regularity and correctness of the result of the election. Gomez and his party, foreseeing defeat, had de- clared a boycott on the polls. In large areas of the island they refused to vote. Gomez himself fled to the United States prior to the election and from the safety of New York hurled invective at Palma and the party in power. The election, of course, went to Palma by de- fault, with a decisiveness giving no ground for legal protest, and the only recourse left to the Gomez adherents was to take to the brush. Mr. Taft, who was sent down to adjust things, found the rebels vehement in threats of trouble making and the Palma adherents placidly content. The line of least resistance was to side with the rebels, which Mr. Taft promptly and mistakenly did. The honest Palma, whose only fault was a too credu- lous belief that Cuba libre, after years of blood- shed, had for all time abandoned the insurrec- tionary habit and that insular defense agajnst in- triguers of the Gomez stripe was unnecessary, re- signed in justifiable indignation at so monstrous a judgment. Gomez easily won the succession. But the second Gomez withdrawal to the bush disclosed that many changes had taken place— changes in Cuba itself, changes in the United States. A cooler-headed, more judicious President sat in the White House and sent no messenger to give inducements to febellion> Cuba had made some progress in preparedness. Gomez has al- ready incurred a fate in defeat that will be a deterrent against Cuba’s further Mexicanization. A new era opens for the insular republic. = = LOOKING FOR AN AMERICAN BULGARIA. Berlin's plotting to raise up enemies agzinst us on this continent may seem crude and directed | along fantastic lines, but it must be remembered that this is just the sort of plotting that appeals to some minds. The net Germany spread in the Balkans seemed too obvious to snare anything. While she played clumsily on racial jealousies and offered material inducements, the world did not believe that anybody could be persuaded to incur the heavy costs of hunting with the lion when the lion would be sure to take the lion share of the game. But one day the entente was startled by Bulgaria’s entrance in the war. We must not be too sure of her inability to stir up embarrassments on this continent. A few rifles and a supply of cartridges are all that are needed to start a troublesome movement in some Latin-American countries. = = r SOMETHING DOING IN BUFFALO. The late lamented O. Henry, with that whim- sical touch for which he was celebrated, wound up one of his most thrilling stories with the remark, I wonder what's doing in Pvffalo.” If that very clever writer were still with us he could wonder more than ever. If some things are actually doing in Buffalo tha: are said to be doing there, they would supply a theme to which O. Henry's pen could do justice. For there is a rumor—not well defined, it is true, and perhaps not sustained altogether by the facts—that Buffalo is getting a toe-hold on the Angora of the Rev. Billy Sunday. The Rev. Billy is not so exclamatory «as he has been in other cities, it is said, but is more restrained and far less picturesque in manner. While he is still going regularly to the mat with inclined to gouge or hit in the clinches. In short he is a different Billy Sunday. His apologists say it is because the evangelist has no longer the old need of doing bizarre things to attract audiences; that his fame is so great that the people come to bear him anyway. It may be so. But if the Rev. Billy doesn’t need to do unusual things to sustain his own reputa- tion, he certainly is building up a reputation for Buffalo. THE OATH STONE TOOK.

SOCRATES ON PATRIOTISM. OCRATES: I suppose you young men are all ~ patriots. Glaucon: We hope so. Socrates: Tou are not attempting some degree of patriotiem differing from that of the country at large. Glaucon: No. This is no filibuster, my dear Socrates. There may be in the crannies of our minds some things not quite harmonizing with what is in every one else’s mind, but we are not saying anything about them. Socrates. That’s right. Don’t monkey with patri- otiam. Do you know what I think the truth probably is about traitors? Glaucon: No, Socrates. What is it? Socrates. I think most of them perhaps were not traitors at all in the sense that they sympathized with their countries’ foes, but were merely cranks with no nice sense of when cranks are tolerated. Polemarchus: Well said, Socrates! Socrates: That is, at a moment when the public mind was inflamed to a common conception of patri- otiam, as it always is in a war crisis, they insisted upon being pig-headed about some little thing which threw them out of consonance with everyone else and won for them the reputation of traitors. s: Exactly. Socrates: We see how it works in the case of the Senate filibuster. These men were too cranky to abide by the will of the majority, and prevented ac- tion.

The men so far wanting in perspicacity as not to see that are too perfectly suited to private life to deprive the lacter of their services any longer than can be helped. Glaucon: I say they are. Socrates: Good. Now let us sing something patri- otic that will insure us against a similar mistake. — — — . MR. PLAYER'S EXTRAVAGANCE EB are amazed at Mr. Player’s extravagance in getting himself fined for contempt of court and saddling upon himself half the costs of the case at a time when he is scolding all the rest of us for the least deviation from frugality. That there is any difference between the extravagance of indiscretion and any other kind we cannot believe. The ‘money is gone in any event. As a matter of fact, Mr. Player seems to have gotten less for his money than the average spendthrift does, Are we unduly alarmed, or is the result of the carelessness of this paragon of parsimony in our community life to be a sort of a Roman festival of extravagance upon the part of the community itself from which even Mr. Player repentant shall be unable to save us? We are afraid. To see Mr. Pla casting money about like a drunken sailor is a f example. To have him, of all people, suddenly cut loose and shoot af- ties and tens this way and that is enough to undo all the careful work done by the savings banks and every other painstaking influence to make us save.

Be careful to select those which are short, thick-stemmed and “stocky”’ rather than the large, rank grown ones which, by the way, do not transplant well and will not mature so well nor so early as those which have less leaf surface. Be careful in hand- ling them not to break or injure the fine roots nor to let them dry out. When setting (transplanting) the plants, first and the ball of earth sticking to them. Then carefully place the plant in the hole so that it is about one-fourth of an inch deeper than it was before and cover the roots; with fine moist soil. Press down firmly all around and then cover the surface with dry, loose earth to prevent rapid evaporation. If the soil is in the proper condition, no water will be necessary after planting. For best re- sults the earth should make a ‘‘crum- — ee a 4 Values 7 to $4. 00, dig a hole large enough to hold the rooté bly ball”: when squeezed in the hand. Early cabbage, such as Early Wakefield vr Copenhagen Market, should be plant- ed the last week in March or early in April. For a late crop such varieties as Danish Ballhead or Surehead may be planted in early May, The early. vafi- eties may be planted as close as 2 feet each way, and the later ones about 30x 86 inches. One acre should produce 12 to 15 tons. Tomatoes, like cabbage, are started indoors and transplanted to the open ground. However, they will not en- dure frost and for this reason should not be planted in the garden until about the middle of April or even later for late sorts. If they are planted quite early and there seems to be danger of. frost, they are easily protected, by a cone of newspaper or an old tin can placed over-each plant. These may also be used to protect cabbage or. other early plants from very cold weather. Select your tomato plants with the same care as the cabbage and with the same stocky' type in mind. They are planted in the same way as cabbage and require the same handling until they are well established in the ground. Sometimes the vines are left.to grow on. the ground but usually it is better to set them about 2% to 3% feet apart each way and stake them.

Nore of them knows anything about who have wor in Wall street and who can perha_s show them tne way. There are in the financial distric’ hur.dreds of women who are heads of departments in great financial institu- tions, womep who sell bonds or insur- ance, women advertising managers. These women, quiet, weil dressed, gra cious, quite generally in the early thir- ties, are the real “new women of American life. For some women have always succeeded in the arts, inter- mittently. Women have always partici- pated in the prefessions, but the women who have won in Wall street are the firet. in the world to be admitted into business offices on anything like equal terms. For about 2% years business men have employed women in what are called service positions. They have conceded that women are tremendously efficient in routine work which does not call for But it is only recentiy that they have permitted women to do the work of men for tho rewards of men. Today the women executives of Wall street earn salaries ranging from $3) to $50.00 a year. Quite recently these women of Wall street got together tn an informal association called the Wom- en of Finance. The members of thie association dine together once a month, make. speeches or.iisten to talks from businees men. which they find heipful in their work. —ͤ—— rg ͤ — ——j | What Poor Teeth Cost 18 22 ———— —— D—— OE ECAYED- teeth are causing, more harm to the human race than alco- hol.

LONDON, March 9.—The Prussian food controller, Dr. George Michaelis, made in the Prussian Diet Wednesday what the Koelnische Zeitung calls a serious speech on the food situation, says a Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam. Dr. Michaelis declared distress was such that a more severe state of things, especially in the industrial centers, hard- ly could be imagined. He indicated the possibility that all surplus stocks of ' grain would be exhausted and said radi cal measures were néeded to enable the people to hold out until next year. “We have in the third year of the war,“ the food controller is quoted as “discovered that among all sec- tions of the people the general feeling evinced is not one of that endurance for which we had hoped. This may have most serious results. We have not perceived in the towns that stern supervision which is absolute- ly necessary in the distribution of food- There has been widespread abuse of the bread tickets, entailing grave con- sequences as regards our stocks. tickets have been illegally used on suc® a shocking scale that our entire reserves were exhausted. So, when potatoes failed and bread was ordered as a sub- stitute, there was none available. Flour has been reduced, owing to similar ir- regularities in the bills.“ Dr. Miohaelis urged the utmost se- verity to remedy the shortcomings while there was yet time. Some of the milis would have to be closed and the munici- palities deprived of their autonomous Rationing and requisitioning must be strictly applied with respect to eggs, milk, butter, fruit and vegetables. “We are confronted with the thought of what would happen,” he said if this measure also should fail and what grim starvation here would be, if suddenly during the closing months of the eco- romic year, we should find there was insufficient food and we could not hold | out. The ensuing misery would be inde- scribable.”’ The speech caused a sensation and the Socialist, Hufer, who followed, accord- ing to the Rheinisch Westfalische Zeit- ung, declared the junkers were to blame a famine supervened, An attempt was being made, he said, to shift the blame on England. The selfishness of the agrarlans, he said, is the cause of the high prices. The war would long since have been ended if everyone had to suffer hunger equally. The present meat ration is in- sufficient. To withhold such a neces- sary from the people in the interest only of agrarian tariff is damnable. I re- call Prof. Abbes’ retirement from the council of the war feeding department: the strikes of munition workers in Es- sen and Berlin, owing to under feeding, have only too well justified him.” The Minister of Agriculture vigorous- ly defended himself against attacks. Hé alluded to the critical situation created by the partial success of the entente’s plan of starving Germany, and added: For the small bread ration one can only make the Almighty responsible who has not given us the harvest we expect- ed.“ f “Two Million Dollars?

By W. J. O’Connor. cy of the nifty neophytes in Field- er Jones’ fold for the coming season is a left-handed gentleman named Dick Kerr, who will get his fivst tryout in the major leagues, although he has been pitching professional baseball for seven seasons. He has a most interest-, ing record, apart from his personal his- tory. Kerr pitched well for three in- nings in yesterdhy’s game at Paics- ting. K Kerr is only A years old, despite the fact that he has been playing league ball for seven years. He's a native of Goose Hill, which in the good old days was a hotbed for major league ball- players. His home is at North Twentieth street, although he hibernat+ ed this winter in . Paris—Texas, not France—where he's manager of a cotton compress. Last season Kerr pitched for the Memphis (Southern League) club and although his ‘team finished in second division he shared the premier pitching honors of the circuit with Rogers, an- other Brown recruit, who toiled for the pennant-winning Nashville club. Kerr finished right-side up in 24 games, los- ing 12, which was really below his aver- age. Has Lost 43 Games. In five years that he has worked for clubs operating in leagues that kept official averages he has compiled a mbdst astounding record of 113 victories and 43 defeats, a winning percentage of 724.

The Webster Groves High. School basket ball team will depart next Thursday for Chicago where they will compete on March 16 and 17 in an in- vitation tournament to be staged un- der the auspices of the University of Chicago. It is expected that some- thing like 20 teams will compete in the event. . Pat Page, the former Maroon base ball star, is sponsor for the idea of bringing the star igh school quintets of the Middle West to the tourna- ment. Webster, the local representative has a good record for the season, hav- ing won a majority of its contests. Only one team has been tackled this season, that has not been beaten in a return contest. This was Fergu- son, which trimmed the Webster lads, 25 to 21, and then refused to clash with their rivals in a return contest. Kirkwood proved the easiest vie- tim for the five this year, being trounced, 22 to 5 and 29 to 6. The Webster lads also own a victory over Ranken Trades School by a margin of 39 to 18. All of the teams in the county circuit and several others from this city have been battled. It is probable that Coach Roberts will take seven players along for the trip, They are ester, Sampson, Lacey and Wright, forwards: Lin- coln, center and Hageman and Hart. guards, Sampson and Wright have been the teams’ substitutes this sea- son. Good Teams Entered. A worthy lot of prep'“ quintets have been invited to compete in the event, Some of the fives besides Webster that have been asked to compete are Waite High School of Toledo: I the champion of Northern Wisconsin; ayland Aca 1.2 Beaver m. and St. Johns M. A. of la- field, also representing Wisconsin: Mechan- ics Arts of St. Paul, rit Lake, To. ; Evan- ston Academy, High. New Trier Hi The latter four hail from the indy City.

Then 2 blazing flash and a metallic noise. “By thunder; we are pit!" I exclaim. Cabin Pierced by Missile. Less than 0 meters to port of us, 3 shrapnel has exploded, and a piece of it has gone right through our cabin. One of my officers brushes the pieces of iron carelessly aside. “A souvenir for those at home,“ he, remarks coolly. At the top of my volle, I shout: ‘Ascending rudder! Ascending rudder!" The ship responds quickly and un- lingly mounts te heights where we feel the icy air waves, leaving the danger- ous, death-dealing little white puffs de- hind us, and farther and farther away the specks of fire are falling. We are homeward bound on an east- ern course along the Thames while a thousand dangers still stand between us and our home hangar. The searchlights are playing through the sky everywhere and without any particular aim, They are striving hard now te get at least one enemy ship to help balance the account. Thoir rage down there must be terrific, as they survey the damage we have wrought and shoot from among the “wreckage we are leaving behind. They know that ey will be reproached again tomorrow: by their superiors, and the nation’s newspapers will ence more be complaining over the failure of the defenses and attacking the inefficiency of the arrangements and asking in ed itorlails how many Zeppelins were shot down. Ahead of us, there is another corden of defense guns atill busy at their dead- ly work, so to avoid them I order that we head to port and in a wide circle we get around the batteries until clouds hide us from their ‘view. Bombs a British Cruiser. There is a moment of silence now, as till uncertainty and unsteadily the searchlights flash across the horizon. At last these fingers of light have picked us up and try to hold us with their rays, but they are too late. A few min- utes more and England will be left be- hind. us. We can.now see the North Sea. Still the English persist in their at- tempts to tring down one of these ter- rible monsters of the air. On the route to England we had seen only light sea fighting forces, which would not be dan- gerous to airships, but now things have changed. The surface of the sea is brii- liant with the searchlights peering into the heavens for us. There are six or eight ships at one spot, and they ap- pear to us to be dreadnoughts. The British fleet has put to sea. Perhaps it was too hot for them in port in the mouth of the Thames or at Sheerness. They had undoubtedly. become afraid a bomb might land on one of the light- ers made fast to them and from whith ‘ammunition was being, stored aboard the ships of the fleet when eur Zeppe- ling made their appearance. The hell of the land had been moved to sea. The blinding rays of the searchlights flash on us once more, and lighting rackets are shot into the sky while the shrapnel and projectiles still buns around us like a lot of files. They are straining every nerve now to get us and using every facility. Not only are the aerial defense guns in action, but the still roa 118511 1 3 & ee ar Gale warship and wenind the third 1 ; i F 5 f 1229 115 2E 3 : At ' ‘ | as far as we can see, but uncertainily f | p already warning from the lookout: “Ememy flier ahead!’ We have not reached the curtain of clouds yet, when from it, like 8 ghost t bird, the sirplan- “Aftitude rudder!

It is little Wagener, who surely has: made use of all his bembs over there across the sea. The Welcome Home. Long ago we have sent our report to the Admiralty that the attack had been a success and that our air cruiser had not been damaged. We see the ships anchored on the Jade and heavy smoke pours from their funnels. On the bridge signal mates watch the returning air- ships and soon the trew comes on deck. breaking out a signal of greeting to us.

Another hour passes and that cruiser is also sighted and lands. She had met t with such a stubborn defense that it forced her to make a great détour. Stu over England. she had been attacked by enemy flyers, which caused more delay. Slightly wounded and his ma- chine damaged, the Englishman soon gave up the fight and saved himself by landing on éolid ground. Besides this. there had been trouble with one of the motors fer half an hour, so she was compelled te go at half apeed. From the other hangare we get the word that all the Zeppelins have re. turned, and within an hour the tele. graph reports to all points of the Ger. man Empire: “Last night several equadrons of our air cruisers have returned tndamaged."

WHEN father comes home with a new pair of shoes, at once the whole family is hit by the blues. We know that the purchase means father will be a crank just as long as they hurt him, you see. He brags of their beauty with many a grin and then dear old Dad begins breaking them in. The home, once so happy and sweetly se- rene, is changed and we all become scrappy and mean. Dad puts on the shoes and a step he will take, and that is the cue for the trouble to break. He starts with an “Ouch!” which is fol- lowed by “Gee!” Those shoes are too small and too stiff,’ asserts he. He takes some more steps and his next line of talk compels Ma and sister to go for a walk. “Here, Bill—break em in!“ very shortly we hear.

It happened that one night a fairy strayed from her Queen and her sister fairies ahd flew away to the top of a mountain, where there lived a poor peasant youth who was very handsome. The fairy found the peasant asleep outside his door in the moonlight, and when she saw his handsome face she fell in love with him. But, of course, she knew she could never be his wife as long as she re- mained a fairy, so she flew away to an old witch for whom she had done many kindnesses and told her she wanted to hecome a mortal, for she had fallen in love with a mortal and could never be happy again without hia love. “You know what will happen tf you are discovered by your Queen even if you have changed into a mortal,” said the old witch. “Yea, I know,” said the fairy, but 1 would risk even that to be the wife >: my beautiful love. Change me quickly, 1 beg you, Mother Witch, that I may return to him before he awakes.”’ Bo the old witch changed her into a beautiful girl and gave her a pair of shoes to wear to climb the mountain with. “These shoes, you must throw ever [sre mountainside as soon as you reach The nchen 7 The Lost Fair y— Part I. the top,” said the witch, “as they are enchanted, and if the fairy Queen or any of your sisters saw them they would know at once you were the fairy who ran away, for they will never cease to hunt for you.” The fairy girl promised she would do as the witch told her, and slipped the shoes on her feet, and up the mountain she glided and stood beside the sleeping peasant. She quite forgot the shoes, so anxious was she to awaken her lover. The peasant opened his eyes, and when he saw the beautiful gir' he fell in love with her and asked her to be his wife. The next day the fairy Queen called her fairies and found one was missing. “Look for her, commanded the Queen. Look high and low, and it she has run away she shall suffer the penalty.” So the little fairies few away. They iooked under the stones, they looked under the leaves; they even looked into the river, but nowhere could they find their fairy sister, and they gave her up for lost. But not so the Queen. “She must de found.“ she told the fairies. No fairy can be lost forever. Elther she has run away and become a mortal or «hy can be found. Look on the tops of al! the mountains tonight and I will go with you.” The fairy gir! was very happy with her husband and he loved her very wou.d never tell him, and that some- times made him quite unhappy. The shoes *the witch had told the fariy girl to throw over the side of the mountain she had hidden under a bush, thinking some day sh might need them, and there the Faify Queen found them and knew they were magic shoes. “She is on the mountain top,“ said the Queen. We must find her. I feel sure she has become a mortal. She shall be punished well for this.” So the fairies and the Queen flew about the mountain until they came to the cottage where the peasant and the fairy girl lived and looked in the window. At first the Queen was not sure the fairy girl was the runaway fairy, but she knew that if she were the lost fairy she would see her when she tapped on the window. So the Queen made herself invisible to mortal eyes that the peasant might not see her, but she knew that the girl; if she ever had been a fairy, would always be able to behold her Queen. “Tap, tap, tap! went the Queen's wand on the window, and quick as a thought the fairy girl looked up and saw her Queen. | i She turned very pale and her hus- band caught her in his arms, but she told him it was only the prick of her needle on her finger that had made her faint and that she was not III. That night when her husband was asleep the fairy girl stole out of the house, for she knew the Qu had come for her, and there was only one chance of escape, and that was to get the shoes and reach the old witch be- fore the Queen could touch her with her wand. . She closed the door very softly and started for the bush where the c shoes were hidden, and just as ashe put out her hand to take them out of the shoes jumped the fairies, and the Queen, who had been hiding under one of them, reached out with her wand and touched the girl fairy on her head.
