He Will Recommend Federal Grand Jury Investigation Di- rected by Judge Landis. WASHINGTON, JULY 9.—Representa- tive Dyer of Missouri today introduced a join tresolution for a congressional in- quiry into the recent race riots in Kast St. Louis. In the Senate Senator Sher- man submitted a resolution from. the East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce deploring the riots. Senator L. Y. Sherman of Illinois wired to the Post-Dispatch today that he favored a Federal! investigation of the East St. Louis riots and would rec- ommend to the Department of Justice that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of Chicago. be placed in charge of the inquiry. His telegram was as follows: “I favor Federal investigation in East St. Louis. I will recommend as request- ed that Judge Landis be designated to conduct the judicial inquiry if one shall be ordered by the Department of Jus- tice, and will recommend to the depart- ment such an inquiry.’”’ Senator Sherman's message was in re- Ply to one sent to him by the Post-Dis- patch Saturday, informing him that many witnesses to the rioting were hes- itating to appear at an investigation held by East St. Louis local authori- ties. and there was a demand among the better element of citizens for a Fed- eral inquiry and a desire that Judge Landis conduct it. Many Ask for Federal United States District Charles Karch of East St. Louis told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that he had received so many written and oral pleas from citizens for a Federal investigation of the rate massacre, by a grand jury presided over by Judge Landis, that he had communicated the facts to the Department of Justice. It is customary for the department to in- Sruct District Attorneys when to take action. Citizens are continually on the telephone and addressing him on the street, asking that a special grand ja@ry under Judge Landis be called, Karch said. He also has re- ceved letters containing the same re- quest. Persons who are familiar with po- litical conditions on the East Side are convinced that little is to be hoped for trom the local authorities. It is. being pointed that the police were even secret sessions held of the quest into the murder of the negroes. Testimony at the inquest bore on the police in connection with the riots. Karch pointed out that there is a Inquiry.

The statute against oppression is the one most plainly transgressed, however. MAYOR ASSAILED AT EAST ST. LOUIS CITIZENS’ MEETING Murder of Negroes Charged to Offisial Derelilt ion and In- competence of Police. The Mayor of East St. Louis and the Police Department were denounced as inefficient and incompetent at a meet- ing of the Citizens’ Committee of One Hiundred, organized to clean up the town and conduct investigations and prosecutions in connection with the re- cént mob outrages, at a meeting held to- day at Beatty's Hall. The committee elected C. E. Pope chairman, after which fiery speeches were made charging that official dereliction was responsible for the killing of more than ® negroes by mobs last week. Tells of Appeals to Mayor. Daniel McGlynn, a prominent attorney, said that while the rioting was going on last Monday leading business men tried in vain to have the police do some- thing: but nothing was done. “We'Want the people to know the police did noth- ing and Mayor Moliman did nothing,” said McGlynn. “Mayor Moliman said he had lost con. trol of the police. There has been no discipline in the Police Department for a long time and we want to know who is responsiblie."’ Referring to a statement attributed to €ol. Tripp of the Illinois National Guard that the militiamen could do nothing, be- cause they had no ammunition, McGlynn said: “If that is true, Col.

GARDNER SENDS PRISUN REPORT TO M ALLISTER Directs Attorney-General to In- quire Into Former Warden’s Reported Mismanagement. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, yardner today sent the report of Auditor Hackmann on the penitentiary to At- W. McAllister: all steps July 9.-—Gov. torney-General Frank with instructions to take may deem necessary to protect the State ne from any loss as a result of bad man- agement or diversion. of property or funds. McAllister had not seen the report this morning but had read newspaper accounts of it and excerpts from it, and said that he would do his full duty when he received instructions from the Gov- ernor to proceed. The Post-Dispatch correspondent learned from a reliable source that pend- ing the Governor's instructions the At- torney-General has been collecting in- formation which will result in disclos- ures more startling than the official re- port, when completed. Former Warden D. ©. McClung bor- rowed a copy of the report Saturday night from a newspaper correspondent and kept it all day Sunday and Sunday night. McClung and his son, Carl, went over the report together, and it then was taken to the residence of Oliver Rassman, former chief clerk under Mc- Clung at the penitentiary. Bassman has been appointed commissary officer at the penitentiary by Warden Painter. The job now held by Bassman at the prison is the one formerly held by Carl Mc- Clung. Auditor Hackmann explained today that his examiners did not call in wit- nesses and attempt fo fix the persona! responsibility for discrepancies at the penitentiary because he did not want to prejudice or impede an investigation by the Attorney-General by a grand jury. Hackman sald his auditors will make investigation later of the industries de- partment of the penitentiary. “If we had made an exhaustive ex- amination of the industries,’’ Hackman said, “‘it would have delayed the report another month. My department is shor: of man power and the examiners were overdue at other State institutions.” The Post-Dispatch exposed the fact a year ago, that D. M. Oberman, a pri- vate contractor at the pinetentiary and c competitor of the State in the manu- tacture of clothing, had a pe@uliar con- tract by which he was selling raw ma- terial to the State at an arbitrary price and buying the finished product of the State plants at far less than the market price, so that Oberman made a bigger profit on the State’s product than the State made, and bigger than he made on his own products. Following the exposure of this ar- rangement the board of prison inspec- tors met and abolished the arrange- ment and L. 8. Parker, superintendent of industries at the penitentiary, an- nounced the State would buy and sell its own goods. The Post- newspaper mn the only evesing t receives or pub- ‘shes news sath CHIEF PROHIBITS RAISING OF Says I¢ Might Be Construed as Effort to Whitewash Salary-Raise Fund, Chief of Police Young issued an or- der today forbidding the collection of a fund for the relief of the six policemen suspended on charges in connection with the fund raised to procure the passage of tue police sal- yary increase bill by the Legislature. An effort was being made to col- lect money from all members of the Police Department for the relief fund. The suspended policemen are Ray Cummins, Secretary of the Police Re- lief Association; Sergeant Stephen Coilins, Patrolmen Charles Dumont, Wililam McCormick, John McGaffery and John Sanders. Chief Young said the a fund for the relie might be regarded as an effort to whitewash the cases against them. The trial of the policcmen has been postponed by the Police Board until the grand jury completes its inves- tigation. Capt. P. J. Gaffney Street District, and Capt. Robert M. Hanna of the Mounted District, were ordered by Chief Young today to ex- change places. The change was made “for the good of the service.” TWO HAVE SAME AME DRAFT NUMBER momen tea: Made in Ward Is Corrected.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1917. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH — _—— It was augmented effectively by the ut- terances of Social s*emocrats who relat- ed the impressions they had gatherea at the recent Stockholm conference and in neutral countries. Their deduction —wWas that affairs in Germany must be supjected forthwith to a thorough over- hauling for the good of the German peo- and the German Empire. The ma- jority faction of the Social Democrats is convinced that the Government must make a positive declaration that it :s opposed to all policies of annexation eithter in the Fast or West. While all the sessions of the main committee are looked upon as confiden- tial, the Tageblatt reveals enough of riday’s proceed.ngs to warrant the con- chision that the discussion covered the éritire range of internal political re- farms. The Tageblatt ovserves ‘‘that the prog- réss of developments is irresistible cause right, reason and ‘nand these things and the ‘strong ma’ whom the Conservativey are caliing for would nave little luck himself and would brie less to the empire.” That the executiv: sessions of the Main Committee and the Constitutional Gommittee have teen = gravely. signili- cant is -indicated by the de- cision to postpone the Saturday plenary, session. The absence of Chancellor von Rethmann-Holiweg from the sessions of the Main and Constitutional Commit- teos that last few days has caused weneralt comment in parliamentary Cir- cles as exceptional fn view of the con- fidential character of the discussions.

Seasion Opens Today. Monday will mark the opening of what promises to be a memorable parilia- mentary session. The Chancellor was present today when the committee con- vened. All the Reichstag factions re- mained in session in individual groups until late at night. The Zeitung am Mitfag says that a deputation of six members from the Social* Democratic party in the Reichstag called on Chan- celior von Bethmann-Hollweg Friday to impress the gravity of the situation on him and insisted that he make a dec: jaration that the Government was pre- pared to enter peace negotiations on the basis of the status quo.’ The deputation ajso demanded immediate introduction of parliamentary and electoral reforms. ‘Representatives of the Progressive People’s party and of the National Lib- erals also were in conference with the (Chancellor.

PART OF AMERICAN TROOPS ALREADY IN PERMANENT CAMP Battalion Which Was in Paris July 4 Preparing for Ar- rival of Rest of Force. By LINCOLN EYRE A Staff Correspondeut of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1917. by Press Pub. Co.) PARIS, July 9.—Before many days have passed, perhaps in a week, troop trains will carry the American soldiers from their maritime base, at which they still are temporarily installed, to their training camp, close to the French lines. The battalion which took part in the Fourth of July ceremonies in Paris is already there and is busily engaged in training and getting things ready for the men to follow. At a conference with the American correspondents yesterday, Gen. Pershing took occasion to reiterate that ‘‘reports that our men already have gone to the front are exaggerated.”’ ‘“‘We are moving along as fast as we can,” he said. “Both here and at home. The human material we have to work with is splendid, but even the very best material must be rounded into shape.”’ . Appreciates July 4 Ovation. The General was eager to express his appreciation of the ovation extended to the Americans on the Fourth of July. “I thought it was magnificent,’ he exclaimed, ‘‘to see the way everybody —men, women and children—pressed around our boys, hung flowers all over them and tried to shake hands with them and embrace them. It was really an overwhelming sight. I never saw such sincere delight on any occasion as was shown by the people of Paris." Remarking that he was receiving a great number of letters and souvenirs of all kinds from well-wishers, Gen. Pershing said he hoped the French peo- ple would realize how deeply touched he was by the generous and kindly hos- pitality shown to his men. Replying to questions regarding cen- sorship arrangements, he said he hoped the situation would be improved and that the American newspapers would be able to describe the deeds of the Amer- loan troops as freely as the French and British press. The General was much interested ‘n the nickname bestowed on the soldiers. He expressed approval of ‘‘Sammies.”’ Gen. Pershing saw Marshal Joffre and had a lengthy conversation with him. “about quatsors which had their incep- Aeroplane’s Wing Breaks Off; Pilot, Mile High, Saves Self FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July 9.

Then when he had succeeded in this maneuver he descended slowly on the remaining wing into a beet field, without in- jury to himself. tion during the Marshal's visit to Wash- ington,’’ as the General exzressed it. It has been decided that the ceremo- nies for the 14th of July, the French holiday, will be purely French in char- acter, and neither the American nor any other foreign troops will take part. Questioned as to the arrival of addi- tional American contingents, Gen rershing said he could say nothing about that. He added that he believed it wiser as regards future disembarka- tions that they be carried out without any publicity. An opportunity will be afforded the American correspondents to visit the troops in their training camp, however, at an early date. Gen. Pershing expected to confer this week with Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, the British commander, but be- cause of the pressure of other business he was compelled to send a member of his staff to British headquarters. He will visit the Field Marshal later. Cautions Men as to Deportment. Gen. Pershing has issued the follow- ing: “For the first time in history an Amer- ican army finds itself on European ter- ritory. The good name of the United States of America and the maintenance of cordial relatiors require the perfect deportment of each member of this command. “It is of the gravest importance that the soldiers of the American army shall at all times treat the French people, and especially the women, with the greatest courtesy and consideration “The valiant deeds of the French armies and the allies, by which they together have guccessfully maintained the common cause for three years, and the sacrifices of the civilian pop- ulation of France in svpport of their armies, command our profound ;e- spect. This can best te expressed or the part of our forces by uniform courtesies to all the French people and by the faithful observance of their laws and customs. “The intensivé cultivation of the soil in France under conditions caused by the war makes it necessary that great care be taken to do no damage to private property. The entire French manhood capable of bearing arms is in the field fighting the ene- my, and it should therefore be a point of honor to each member of the American army to avoid doing the least damage to any property.” SCHOOL BOARD MUST PAY $27,995 IN SEWER TAX Court Holds Property Is é¢xempt, but That Ordinance Requires Settle- ment Before Connection Can Be Made. Judge Hennings today dismissed the injunction suit filed by Frank X. Hel- menz, member of thé Board of Educa- tion, against the other members of the board to restrain them from paying special tax bills of ‘$27,995.75 for the construction of the Mill Creek Sewer. Hetmenz contended in his _ petition that school property was exempt from general and special taxation. Judge Hennings held that this was true, but deciared that there was an ordinance prohibiting any owner of property from connecting with a district sewer unless his share of the special sewer tax was paid. Under this Ordinance it became the duty of the schools to pay sewer taxes, he held, in order to avail themselves of the use of the sewers, } put under control. EXPORTS WILL BE PUT UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL JULY 0 Shipments of Important Com- modities Will Be Barred Ex- cept Under License. FOODSTUFFS INCLUDED Complete Embargo for 60 Days Considered to Ascertain Na- tion’s Supplies. _ WASHINGTON, July 9.—Shipment of many important commodities out of the United States except under Federal li- cense will be barred on and after July 1, by Presitlent Wilson’s proclamation put- ting into operation the recent action ‘of Congress authorizing Government con- trol of exports. The list of commodities includes all munitions, foodstuffs and fertilizens. America’s needs will be given first consideration, the allies next and then the neutral nations, according to a statement issued by the President an- nouncing the new policy. Every effort will be made to prevent supplies from reaching the central Powers. The fact that foodstuffs are included in the proclamation is believed here to amount to a partial substantiation of reports that a complete embargo for 60 days on all food shipments is under con- sideration. This period would afford an opportunity to ascertain the nation’s supplies and allow the allies and neu- trals to prepare a full program of their requirements. Will Control Tonnage. Through control of coai and fuels, the Government intends to take a firm grasp on shipments. An arrangement under negotiation will give American and Brit- ish Governments control of not only all allied’ tonnage but of neutral vessels. Ships now/on runs not regarded as necessary to a succeasful conduct of the war will be forced into trades consid ered more cssential and vessels now held tn port through fear of submarine attack will be required to go into serv- ice. Control of iron and steel was made necessary by war deminds on the iron and steel industries. A shortage of stee! in this country is threatened because of the large amount that is being di- verted to munitions manufacture and the construction of the Governmen’s merchant fleet. Japan’s, heavy pur- chases of steel plates for merchant ship butiding made necessary that plates be At the same time this action gives the Government a weapon with which tv force Japanese tonnage into the traneatlantic trades. How Licenses Can Be Obtained, The method of procedure in obtaining licenses for export was outlined by Sec- retary Redfield, who will administer the act, as follows: ‘‘l. Applications for licenses may be made to the Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce, Division of Export Li- censes, 1435 K street, .. ashington, D. C., or to any of the branches of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, New York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco and Seattle. “2. In apply for a license to export any of the commodities covered by the President's proclamation applicants should give the following information in triplicate form: ‘‘(a) Quantity, (b) description of goods, (c) name and address of consignee, (d) name and address of consignor. “3. The license will be good for only 60 days and at the expiration of that time must be renewed and if not shipped within that time a new application must be made. “4. The various branch offices of the Bureau of Foreign and TComestic Com- merce have been given full instructions as to the disposition of all applicants for licenses."’ An official report just made to the American Government showing the ex- tent tu which Sweden is furnishing sup- plies to Germany reveals that the cen- tral Powers are receiving enormous quantities of materials that go directly into the manufacture of munitions. In exporting iron ore to Germany, Sweden, it is shown, has supplied her- self with imports from the United States. What this Government will do to end this trade through operation of the export control act has not been an- nounced, but some of the allies, it is known, Gre urgin® the United States to license no food exports to Swedéer until a definite understanding has been reached with the Swedish Government concerning her exports to Germany. Iron ore shipments from Sweden to ernment declares, have reached a tota' of 9,000,000 tons in the last two years, all of it of the high grade required in production of fine steel. This, it is deciared, represents an amount equal to Sweden's entire pre-war export. In the first quarter of the presnt year, it is set forth, Sweden imported from the United States 16,000 tons of pig iron, while selling a great quantity of her own product to Germany. Her pig iron sales to Germany in two years, it is declared, have amounted to 250,900 tons. In addition to this it is asserted she has shipped to Germany 15,000 tons of ferro-silicon and ferro manganese for hardening shelis, together with large quantities of copper, zinc, manganese, sulphur and other ores. Saenlics Wood Pulp. Germany, the report declares, has ob- tained from Sweden in two years fully 200,000 tons of wood pulp for use as a basis for cellulose, used instead of cot- ton for the manufacture of high ex- plosives. It is claimed Germany also has obtained from Sweden large quan- tities of ball bearings for use in the manufacture of war vehicles and sub- marines. The value of these shipments, the report deciares, is at least $75,000,0% Another charge against Sweden mad- in the report is that she has discrim- inated against A~he allies in the ues of her railroads. Overland trade through Sweden between Norway and Germany has been encouraged it ts declared while the allies have been subjected to every inconvenience and have been charged exorbitant rail rates. Agricultural ma- chinery destined for Russia, the report declares, has been held up for months, Sweden exacting from Russia extraordi- Nary bargains before delivery was per- mitted. Sweden's action in holding within her ports a large amount of merchant ton- nage is dealt with in the report, which declares 600,000 tons is lying idle. Swe- den’s total tonnage is about 1,000,0@ dead weight, of which she requires about 400,000 tons for her own export and im port trade. The allies, unable to force Swedish ton- mage in the world’s trade routes, Dow look to the United States for help ant it is said, believe her shipping will be put into service if the United States and Great Britain come to an arrange- ment as to bunkering. Coal under this arrangement would be refused to ships of any nation refusing to put ships into service the allies demanded. Forest Park Highlands swimming pool is purified by Vitra Viole: Ray.—ADV.

The Mayor, he said, promised to give an answer by last Friday, but failed tc do so. He said he had heard the Mayor quoted as saying he would never con- sent to appoint one of the men sug- gested by the committee. ‘We must get rid of the thugs and make East St. Louis a decent place to live in,” said McGlynn. “It is now a stench in the nostrils of the civilized world. We must gather information and submit it to a grand jury and punish the murderers, both black and white.” Says People as Party to Blame. The Rev. George W.

COL, TRIPP MAKES REPORT ON RIOTS Said to Declare He Had No Am- munition in, and Only 100 Men When Trouble Started. SPRINGFIELD, Illl., July 9—A de- tailed report of the race riot at East St. Louis last Monday, and the part Ili- nois troops had in suppressing the kill- ing of negroes and burning of their houses, will be placed in the hands of Adjutant-General Frank S. Dickson by Col. O. 8S. Tripp, who was in command at the scene of the rioting. The report will be forwarded to Gov. Lowden by the Adjutant-General. It is understood that Col. Tripp will say the reason the troops did not dis- perse the mob by firing bullets was that the soldiers were without ammunition until 7 p. m., Monday, when a supply was received. Col. Tripp will also in- en form Adjutant-General : Dickson, it is said, that up to 7 p. m. he had only @ few more than 100 men with whom to patrol 70 blocks, making it impoasible for mass operations. . St. Clair County Grand Jeary Will Delay Rict Inquiry a Week. The April St. Clair County grand jury reconvened at Belleville today, but was not given special instructions concern- ing an investigation into the massacre of negroes at East St. Louls a week ago. Judge Crow stated that on account of chaotic conditions at East St. Louis, the giving of special Instructions would be deferred for a week. The grand jury was not reconvened especially to take up the East St. Louis riots, but to dis- pose of routine matters left unfinished when it adjourned. It is customary for it to meet in two sessions. The routine matters will be digposed of this week, and it is expected that-the riot investi- gation will begin next Monday.

Unofficially it was tndicated today that 687,000 is the number of men to be eelected for the first national army. Probably twice that number of names will be drawn, as the number of ex- emptions to be allowed is estimated at 50 per cent. Next Saturday been tentatively is understood to have fixed pon as the date fo’ the drawing, although no announce- ment has been made by the Provost Marshal General's office.

My hands may be a little rough. Yes, I’m a little wrinkled, and there are a few gray hairs, but [I’m going to make the trip, just the same.”’ Taking out a picture of Laura from the desk drawer, taken when she was about 2 years old, showing a wealth of curls, Mrs. Carter said: “There’s the little tot.

PETROGRAD, July if (Delayed)—A staff correspondent of the Associated Press was received, this morning by Frince Lvoff, Premier and Minister of the Interior, whe made a statement for the information of America on condi- tions at the Russian front; measures whereby America can assist in the struc- gle against German domination, internal and diplomatic problems and the influ- ence of the revolution and war on world ! problems. Prince Lvoff vegan by declaring his unshaken optimism that notwithstand- ing great difficulties to be faced Rus- sia is marching tow reconstruction and stability and that the war is de- veloping toward victory. “Regarding the war,” continued the Premier, “say that the latest action of our army inspires in me full hope and that I um fully convinced that the new advance even if temporarily stayed, is net finish.d, but is a prelude to much greater successes. ~The advance thor- ouchly confutes the pessimists who uncnimously predicted that an offensive by our supposed disorganized troops was impossible, From actual intercourse with men from the army and from our observers on the spot I know that the offensive spirit is spreading. New Spirit Among Troops. “This is no gradual reconstruction of the army, but the first stage of a com- rlete process of recreation which is almost miraculous, proving in my judg- ment that the troops are infected with a genuine revolutionary and crusading spirit and the consciousness of a mission events in the direction desired by all progressive men. ‘Naturally I am aware that not every- thing can be-done by epthusiasm. I give you frankly the good and the bad side. The good side is the army's supply -of munitions and other necessaries in which we are markedly better off than last year., In fact guaranteed for the immediate future.” “The bad is the transport difficulties, This event brings the season’s greatest bargains - Wearing apparel and millinery.

These are an evil her- itage from the old regime and naturally it is impossible to restore order in three months crowded with revolutionary ac- tivities. Even with stable political con- ditions, the creation of efficient trans port is a problem of years. Our great hope of speedy improvement lies with the Stevens Railroad Commission (the American commission), from which we expect much.” Asked whether the United States could improve Russia’s own manufacture of munitions by sending experts, Prince Lvoff expressed the opinion that it could not, declaring that the problem of the employment of American aid in Rus- sian workshops was too complex, but adding that American munitions ma- chinery was highly desirable. “Send my hearty thanks for the Amer- ican project, the dispatch of the Red Crogs mission, as here we have serious defects and deficiencies,’’ said the Pre- mier. “I hope also for further Ameri- can financial support,’”’ he continued, “but am unable to say what form this will take. Presumably it will be a loan. -but on this subject our Finance Minis- ter, M. Shingaroff, in his discussion witn the financial members of the Root com- mission, will no doubt produce a prac- tical program which Americans can hely realize. Food Stocks Sufficient. “Among our other economic problems the most vital is food. Her -+ ain the central question is tre~.sport. and if America helps in this ww eotr wD oe rest ourselves, as ‘he tc. stoc. of food is sufficient for both the arn.y and the civilian population. Our winter crops were very good, our spring crops were injured by drouths, but by the end of July we shall know our exact position, and unless there is an especially bad har- vest, which we have no reason to ex- pect, we are absolutely secured against hunger for the rest of the year. For next year’s crops arises the prob- lem of an increase in the amount of agricultural machinery, and we should be grateful if America submits a plan to help out in this matter on a compre- hensive scale,’’ Prince Lvoff, discussing the internal situation, said: ‘‘I am glad to see last week’s marked signs of amelioration. Tell America that I have daily evidence of the rallying of all the national ele- ments of the nation round the Coalition Cabinet. The irrational elements such as the anarchists and Bolsheviki, are in such a minority that there is no reason to fear their getting the upper hand. Not only the bourgeoise but an over- whelming majority of the working men are against them. “On the whole the nation is satisfied with the Provisioral Government, be- cause the Government, though hampered by grave military diplomatic preoccu- pations, has already successfully carried through internal reforms which embody the traditional aspirations of Russia’s progressives. Do you know that within a few weeks of the Czarists' downfall the Government realized a five-fold pro- gram, giving complete liberty of person, speech, press, meeting and religion, and giving therein the most progressive democracies in Europe or America’? “Although these tremendous reforms were pushed through hastily in the ab- sence of legislative machinery, not one of them has been subjected to serious criticisms, even by the avowed anti- Government factions.”’ WHEAT PRICE iS LOWER ABROAD THAN IN THE U, S. Visible Supply Is Smaller Than for Many Years, the Total Being Es- timated at 12,759,000 Bushels. ' WASHINGTON, July 9.—Prices abroad where the “Governments have,con- trol of, food supplies are shown to be much lower than in the United States by a report by the allied wheat commis- sion. Although wheat is Mine above $2 in this country, the Government price | in other countrieg Ys: United Kingdom und France, $1.107 gium, $1.60; Australia, $1.14; India, $1.35; Italy, $1.69 to $1.94. America's wheat stocks are ‘ower now than they have been for many yeam,. Estimates py the food administrati give the visible supply as only 12,799,000 lushels, which is less than one-third of the supply at this time last year. An Agriculture Department forecast June 8 puts this year’s wheat yield at 456,000,000 bushels, which is little more tnan the country’s normal co:sumption for a year. POLICEMAN “SPILLS” EVIDENCE KEEPING PACE WITH PRISONER Had Snatched Stein of Beer From Customer of Joseph Cafferata During Lid Period. “Here is where I make a clean case against you.” said Patrolman John Quigley as he snatched a stein of beer from a customer in the saloon of Jo- seph Cafferata, #400 Miami street, at 12:30 o'clock esterday morning, haif an hour after the Sunday lid had gone on. Cafferata made no reply, but when he had been escorted t6 the sidewalk he sprinted so fast that the policeman had to trot to keep pace with him. And as he trotted the beer began to splash from the stein that he held. When Quigley and his prisdéner reached the Wyoming Street Station the stein was empty. “Tt was full of evidence when I ar- rested him,” the patrolman informed the desk Sergeant, “but he made me walk so fast that I spilled ft all.” SHEE Sy ee Germany, $1.80; Bel-’ [FRENCH SOCIETY T0 OBSERVE FALL OF BASTILE ANNIVERSARY Private Al Fresco Dinner to Be Given at Cafferata’s July 14-—War Suf- ferers to Benefit.

Nolker for 4 new trial of his divorce suit against Mrs. Pearl Elizabeth Nolker, which was decided against him on June 2. The Judge, however, set aside the order made on that date for Nolker to pay his wife $5000 for attorney fees and other expenses incidental to defending the suit. A new order was entered to- day, however, requiring Nolker to pay $652,18 costs, incurred in taking deposi- tions. The $5000 alldwance was set aside on the plea of Nolker’s attorney, A. M Frumberg, that Mrs. Nolker had $900 worth of bonds which she had pur- chased with money given to her by , Nolker and that Nolker, under the pe- culiar circumstances of the. case, was not bound to pay his wife's expenses in the suit.

The Chicago Tribune is authority for the headline. Mulford made 200 miles in one hour, fifty- five and a fraction minutes—breaking a world’s record—attaining an average speed of approximately 104 miles an hour. Probably. you’ll never want to go 104 miles an hour, but you are interested greatly in the fact that Mulford’ s tank wa s filled Red Crown Gasoline ~ ‘ . and that if your engine is capable of developing that speed, you can make 104 miles an hour, if you want to, for the gasoline you buy at any of the filling sta- tions or garages listed below is identical with the gas- the same. oline. Mulford used. The adjustment of the perfect chain of boiling point fractions is exactly‘the same.

Forest Park ADV, HENRY FIELD, GRANDSON OF CHICAGO MERCHANT, DIES AT 22 He Was Heir, With Brother, to Es- tate of Marshall Field, Esti- mated to Be $200,000,000. NEW YORK, July 9.—Henry FwYeld, grandson of the late Marshall Field, Chicago merchant, died yesterday at the Presbyterian Hospital, where he was operated on for an abscess on one of his lungs. The body will be taken to Green- wood, Va., for burial. Henry Field was married last Febru- ary to Miss Nancy Kean Perkins, daughter of one of the famous Lang- horne sisters of Virginia. He was the second son of Marshall Field II, who died in 190%. His mother, later Mrs Maldwin Drummond of London, died in 1915. He was educated abroad, as were his brother, Marshall Field III, and his sister Gwendolyn. Henry was 22 years old. At the begin- ning of the war he served for a time in France as an ambulance driver. His brother Marshall recently was promoted to be a Sergeant in the Second Ilinois Field Artillery of Chicago. Under the will of the first Marshal] Field, who died in 1906, several bequests were made, and it was ordered that the remainder of the estate, said to be worth $200,000,000, be held in trust for 40 years, then to be divided between Mar- shall Field III and Henry Fieid, @ per cent to the former and 4 to the Jatter. The will also provided that if either brother should die, the surviving brother should receive the whole estate.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. S Pe LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Jefferson Barracks Story. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. My attention has been called to an edl- torial in your paper under date of June 28, in which you say: “Of all the recent ill-tempered, exagger- we can recall, ated and unfair fakes that it was the Evening Post that was respon- sible for the worst. That was the story written by the Evening Post's Washington correspondent, David Lawrence, printed in New York by the Evening Post and in St. Louis by the Star.” Since the title of your editorial was ‘‘Fair Play,” I am going to ask some of it of you. The story which was printed in the St. b»dbuis Star, under my signature, was not a rake, the charges of immoral conditions having been made by Raymond E. Fosdick, who is a responsible official of the War Department, and a man who enjoys the closest confidence of President Wilson. I simply reproduced in St. Louis a quoted statement authorized by Mr. Fosdick. Con- ditions of immorality were reported to him by his own investigators. Whether they have been proved or disproved is not vital to the pointsI am about to make, which is: When a newspaper correspond- ent sends a story given him by an official of the War Department of the United States Government, who authorizes and requests its publication, I think it is not fair of you to call it an “unfair fake.” In the interest of fairness I simply ask that you print this in your editorial columns as prominently , as you did the charge of faking, which is much too serious a libel on one’s profes- sional reputation to go unchallenged. DAVID LAWRENCE. Priority to ‘‘Sammy’’ Nickname. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. About a month ago I suggested to the Post-Dispatch that the American sol- diers should be lovingly called “Sammies,” for .wnele Sam. Being myself an old “Yank” and having many friends amongst the old “Johnnies,” I thought it would be fitting to call our boys “Sammy,” thus fill- ing in w'th the French pollus (Polly) and the English yeomenry. I’see by the papers that the suggestion has been generally adopted, and I think the Post-Dispatch is entitled to the credit of the suggestion, if there is any credit therein. A. N. SEABER. \ The Free Bridge Loop. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. St. Louis its lamentatly short of interur- ban electric railways Its prosperity is thereby retarded, and it makes a trivial showing in comparison with Los Angeles, Indianapolis, New England and other lo- calities. Now our long delayed free bridge approaches completion, and a loop route for interurbans is debated. - Wo have only one interurban line, feed- - *ing a limited territory from one direction— the McKinley system. Should it not be nat- wral that any other similar road entering the city form a juncticn with this one, either at Twelfth and Lucas, or Morgan utreeis? This locality is the natural ob- jective of interurban ines to interchange traffic. Twelfth street is destined to be our great centrai business plazn, and the i9cation of the MelKinley depots on High and Twelfth streets is central and there is already a very heavy investment there by that line in) ground, buildings and tracks. There ig a good deal of nonsense pub- lished about there oeing no room on your streets for intervuican tracks. What is the matter with Clark avenue, Twelfth and Eleventh streets, all) of which are of extra width and not congested between the free bridge to the old Four Courts and old city hall sites? St. Louls is ridiculously slow to widen narrow streets when necessary, @s witness several years wasted on the Washington avenue project to no effect. ‘Ban Antonio lately widened many blocks af one of her two main business streets, Slicing off fronts of good buildings re- morselessiy. Tracks could run right into e old city hall as a station and on through north to a junction with the McKinley cars - for the convenience of all. The city already owns large centra! Bites suitable for depot and track purposes in the-old Four Courts and old city hall gnuares, Which are for long years eyesores and not utilised or earning any benefit to e city. The property around them is de- ectated in taxable value to the constant municipal loss. The Southern Electric in- rurban franchise embraced a practical irect connection from the free bridge to the McKinley line, and something similar to that should now be planned. Much trash has been uttered against Gnion railway stations on the ground of ‘their not holding inconvenienced travelers’ money in transit. Yet we see in every iarne cit, greater and more union depots being built constantly.

Action on the scandalous record of the peni- tentiary during 1915-16 under Warden McClung is now in the hands of Gov. Gardner. Facts showing gross misuse of State funds and State property, violations of law and mutilation and destruction of records are submitted in the ‘report of Auditor Hackman. Space forbids a repetition of the statements of the long list of gross misdeeds of penitentiary officials published in the Post-Dispatch. They include discrepancies of $12,472.77 in accounts, purchase of articles not received in the penitentiary and of others for private use in violation of law; large purchases of goods from favored firms without bids, and mutilation of records. The sum of $23,000 was expended without authority on McClung Park in Jefferson City. The facts revealed are so scandalous and point to so much wrong-doing that a grand jury in- vestigation or other legal process to bring them into court for thorough inquiry is imperative for the good name of the State. The Governor has ordered the Attorney-Gen- eral to prosecute the inquiry into the legislative scandal. The penitentiary scandal is as malador- ous. It demands probing. It cannot be ignored or evaded without a greater scandal involving the Gardner administration. -—_—_—- = = = HOW MUCH I8 WATER? Those who are acting in behalf of the city in the negotiations with the United Railways have accepted as the basis of a possible compromise the sum of $60,000,000 as representing the prop- erty value on which the company shall be por mitted to earn interest and dividends. In “squeezing the water out” it is important to know just how much to squeeze out. Why the precise figure of $60,000,000 was arrived at ‘zs, ar cordingly, of large interest. We are told it was fixed on as the result of an appraisal made by City Engineer Smith. The appraisal now in progress of unit2 of the railroad system of the United States ‘s a work in- volving no small amount of time and considerable forces of trained men. The appraisal of street railway utilities in other cities has been a task of like seriousness and prolonged labor. What fa- cilities were at Mr. Smith’s disposal in reaching his estimate? Are the people of the community, on whose ap- proval any compromise must depend for validity, satisfied with,an appraisal which, in round num- bers, is $22,000,000 more than that fixed by the City Public Utility Commission only a few years ago? Are they likely to be satisfied with the conclusions of any single judgment on so vital a point? To command public confidence and prepare tie way for a permanent, and not a merely temporary and opportunist, settlement of this great prob- lem, an appraisal by a disinterested commission of specialized competence is most desirable. It should include at least one man experienced in the adjustment of relations between cities and utility companies, as well as men experienced in utility values and other phases of the problem. On the proportion of earnings to be distributed in interest and dividends depend the sum the city is to receive in lieu of the mil] tax, the possibil- ity of extensions, the betterment of equipment, the improvement in service. In addition, the sum fixed now as representing values will be the sum the city must pay in the event that it exercises its power of obtaining ownership of the property. This is a matter in which no snap judgment must be taken. It is a matter in which the city should have the services of the very best experts obtainable. = = * — PROHIBITION OR WAR? The prohibition lobby at Washirgton is mis- taken in its assertion that “the Senate has given distilled liquors a death blow.” The senate has done nothing of the kind. Every Senator who voted to commandeer whisky knows it has done nothing of the kind. As the legislation now stands the manufacture and importation of distilled liquors are prohibited during the war. Within thirty days after the act becomes effective the President is to “take over’ for scientific purposes, presumably, all distilled liquors in bond, for which he is to pay actual cost, plus ten per cent profit. Cost in this case will mean the expense of manufacture, cartage, storage, insurance and interest on the invest- ment. On this sum in the aggregate 19 per cent will be added in the way of, profit. If the “annexation and indemnity” thus pro- vided for does not appeal to the liquor interests they have an alternative. Before the act takes effect they may withdraw the liquor from bond and place it on a market lawfully cornered and monopolized at almost any price that may occur. to them. With the domestic supply limited and im- portations stopped, we have here the makings of the biggest sure-thing whisky speculation ever known, and no certainty whatever that manufac- ture and importation may not be resumed at or about the time when the stocks on hand show signs of exhaustion. What one Congress may) do another may undo. Instead of giving distilled liquors a death blow, the determination of a powerful element in both houses to make a war issue of prohibition ts much more likely to kill the food-just what Germany could expect if the war conditions were reversed and our fleets were locked up at home. The War of 1812 saw practically every Ameri- can warship finally seeking refuge in American waters, and yet our privateers did not hesitdte to attack and capture British vessels within view of the English shores. Such raids keep the enemy distracted from the main business of war. If Germany has found it desirable to inflict air raids upon undefended English towns to keep as many guns and airplanes as possible there instead of at the front, how much more valuable would it be to trouble America by bringing the war to her very doors? It is not likely that any important direct naval advantage will be sought by Germans on this side of the Atlantic for some time to come. A sub- marine guerilla warfare, however, is to be ex- pected rather than not. Lh, Lar -~ GEN. SCOTT AT WORK. The most hopeful war news in a long time has just come from Jassy, Rumania. Major-General liugh Scott is there at the head pf an American mission, after a brief sojourn in the Russian lines. The rest of the world may not see in this inci- dent what most Americans will see in it. Over here we have been used to seeing Gen. Scott bob tp at some obscure point where there was trouble. And he has always come up clutching in both hands what in common parlance is sometimes re- ferred to as “‘the bacon.” It is true that most of his energies hitherto have been directing Indians and other persons with a grievance to be good and seek the paths of peace. But that is no sufficient reason why, if he wished to do it, he couldn’t persuade some- body else to get out and give a vivid impersona- tion of a wildcat on the rampage. Pretty soon there will be big happenings off there in Southeast Europe and some foreign Gen- eral with an unpronounceable name will be get- ting alll the glory. Nevertheless, over here in America, we shal] know where the real credit be- longs. a ds —_¢@—______--_-_--_--—— HIGH PRICE, OF CLOTHES. Comes from Chicago the distressing annowunce- ment that men’s clothes will cost more next year. Nobody doubted that they would, but it doesn’t add anything to the nation’s gayety to have it said in cold print by the National Association of Clothing Designers. Of course, they blame it on the war. Everybody blames everything on/the war. It’s the finest ex- cuse for price raising that has been invented since the Democrats manhandled the protective tariff. But there is such a thing as overdoing it. Re- volt will come somewhere and it might as well be here as anywhere else. People must halve clothes in the present con- ventions of civilization, but they don’t have to have new clothes. Most especially can they get along without “designed” clothes. Some two mil- lions or more of them will be wearing nice little khaki outfits designed on one general plan. Most of those too old for that will be old enough to re- member the days when durable garments of blue- jeans, designed by the maternal ancestor and worked out on the family sewing machine, were not considered unfitting apparel to clothe a man and a citizen. The National Association of Clothing Designers would do well to be careful. There will be halos and laurel wreaths for some iconoclast who suc- ceeds in making home-made jeans trousers an emblem of wartime nobility. : a, ont? as! ~. panne | ~~ * WE TNE ee Sr eeain Geer ee F a6 7 ot CS ey, 4 wainey Te De we oe au.2, oi a = | JUSTICE ~—- _—S woo~or Te MORE VIOLENCE IN EAST ST.

B.—Brown splotches are not freckles: they are usually what fs known as “moth,” and if examined under a microscope wilt be found to resemble the mildew that is found on anything left damp and rolled away from the air. They many times are caused by a torpid condition of the liver, and so can be cured by the regular use of same agent that causes that organ to fre- gain its activity. For this, none is quite so good as pure olive oil in small doses, taken regularly for years, if need be; any- way, for ag long as a suspicion of such splotches remain teaspoonful half hour before breakfast and half hour after latest meal every day, seems a small dose, but persisted in will clear the skin in the course of a year. even if no other remedy is tried. Where such spots are vey ob- stinate and have existed a long time, the bleach may be used in addition. The bleach formula is & grains corrosive sub!imate in coarse powder, dissolved in 2 oz. each disa- tilled witch hazel and rose water. It is applied 2 or 3 times a day with a bit of soft, old linen to the spots and allowed to dry on. After drying. a little cold cream is rubbed into the spots to allay the en- | suing roughness. This bleach will take off : freckles. also, but it means so much trouble with the tender, new skin that forms as the old scales off, that few women have the re- quisite patience to use it properly. Just so sure as the rays of the «vn strike this new, soft skin, that is like that of the new- born baby in its texture, a freckle will re- appear, because the depos is still under the skin, needing only light to make the spot. Anyone using this formula shouid understani that corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison, 8 grains of which would kill in a fraction of time. The lotion should be kept in a bottle of some peculiar shape; its label should have the skull and crossbones, with the word “Poison” in big letters print- ed clearly, and the bottle should not be kept where children and ignorant persons oan get hold of it. HOUSEHOLD ALLPS. COOK.—Housekeeper says: If one has a fairly good oven muffins are much ee to make and bake than biscuit, or, ind : any sort of breakfast bread. It is almos no trouble to bcat them up; they do not need attention while baking; there is no tro :ble in the way of cleaning off and put- ting away board, rolling pin and cutter, as is with biscuit; one’s hands do not get filled with flour, and, taken altogether, they are nearly the nicest of the many nice things the good housekeeper offers for either breakfast or luncheon. Half a cup of cold boiled rice, a couple of eggs, & CUD of sifted flour and a little milk, with a tea- spoonful of baking powder and @ pinch of salt and you have at least a dozen muffins | to bake: the pans should always be well greased and very hot when batter is poured in: then the baking is quickly done. Cold oatmeal, left-over grits or mush or cracked wheat,may any one of them be added to « muffin batter; all are good. Among some that may almost be called a dessert are those with honey in them. Sift two tea-. | spoonfuls baking powder with a pint and , a half of flour: add half a teaspoonful salt and work in a tablespoonful each of best lard and butter mixed, or all batter; beat hard, add three eggs, half a pint of milk and a cup of strained honey; bake in muf- fin pans in a hot oven. Any fresh or stewed fruit may be added to plain maffin bat- ter, and it is a matter of individual taste whether they shall be sweet or not. If milk is used, they will brown better, but sugar will also make them bake te a nice brown. Grated corn makes delicious muf- fins, added to flour enough to make the batter the proper consistency, of any cereal may be added to muffin bat- ter with good results; it should,“of course, . always be well cooked, cold and mashed | free of lumps. Whole wheat makes muf- fins that are wholesome and easy of @i- gestion. WAR TALK, MARTIN.—See list of Exemption Board locations in Post-Dispatch of July 6, at this office.

James 8.

Lynch, the present champion, was runner-up to the caddies’ idol with a 79. Seventy-five public course golfers turned in qualifying Cards yesterday, which, with the 70 of Saturday, com- pletes the largest entry that has yet been attracted by a municipal tourna- ment. First plans contemplated three classes, each of 16 pairings. for the match play, but because of the unex- pected large entry, a fourth flight of 32 contestants, known as the special class, will be posted. Oth... widely reputed golfers who Gualified yesterday were Christian Ken- ney, champion of the Si. Louis District Golf Association, and Edward Limberg, former city title holder. The turned in an 80, whereas Limberg took 82 strokes. First round pairings as usual will not tring about many attractive matches, the better players being pitted against less formidable ones.

Sullivan won the golf cham- pionship of the Midland Valley Country Club yesterday ty defeating Jonn W. Bowman, 4 up and 8, in a %-hole finals match of a tournament.which has been in progress for the past six weeks, Sullivan continued the sflendid play which has characterized his game of the current season. He was 5 up on his cpponent at the completion of the first 18 holes, despite the fact that Bowman turned in an 81, which is near-Bogey golf on the Midland course. The ulti- mate winner’s medal score of the initia! round was 76. He continued his brilliant pluy in the afternoon and took the tit'e cn the fifteenth green. Suilivan survived tnree rounds of play in both the St. Louis D. G. A. and the Transmississippi tourneys this season.

Cornell is one of the widest-reputed trainers and versatile athletes in the country. He was trainer at the Olym- pic and the Los Angeles Athletic Clubs and the Oakland and Pacific Coast League baseball teams. He has also trained many pugtlists, among them Jim Jeffries, in preparation for his bout with Jack Johnson.

Saturday, a diversified \ athletic program has been arranged. LOOKING THEM OVER WITH . OLD MAN ‘DOPE Calico Fred Is With Us. E have with us today Fred Fulton, the man with the pie- bald record. Fred’s performance is spotted with inequalities. Skimming over Frederico’s ring history is like skating on river ice—you have to look | out for the blow-holes. Not, you understand, that we insinuate Fulton is inclined to “blow,” in his bouts; but we hold that basing conclusions on some of record-book fights will lead you into trouble and wrong conclu- sions. : For example, if vou consult the Minnesota gxiant’s guide-book “dope” you may find that Fred twice lost to Carl Morris, not- withstandin that Fulton CAN beat him. Ve know he can, be- cause Fred says So. Then again, you might fgur that because he had been lhe oceee out by Al Palszer, that Al had something on Fred. But not at all. Fred golved that difficulty by making Al his sparring part- ner. And still again, coming closer to home, there's the Jack Moran case, in which Fred is said (b the book) to have stopped Pee | Moran; but it is not explained that Moran was stopped by a dis- located Knee and not by a blow. Fattening Up His Record. S to this Moran fight, Bo, don’t lean too heavily on this aepect of the case. For that was two ‘years ago and since that occasion Fulton has gained the distinction of having stopped Sam Langford and Porky Flynn, indicating improveme::t. Yet Carl Morris made Fred look bad in their recent clash—all of which makes Fred's record as easy to see through as Bill Ja- cobson's base running. Because of the uncertainty re- arding Fulton, his match with oran, here, tonight, will have a certain interest, even if you hap- pen to be skeptical of the lesser man’s ability to give 40 pounds and a beating to the next oppo- nent of the champion—tin all probability. o The Original Cave-Man. se by exteriors, the crowd will see a more ferocious look- ing fighter than Fulton tonight, if Al Palzer assists in seconding Fred. This big bruiser is the embodiment of all the physical virtues that co to make up a great battler. He is heavier than Fulton, almost as tall, broad as a barn door and with a jaw like the rock of Gibraltar. Facing him, one wonders what sort of ar- tillery it would take to wreck this imposing edifice. Palzer, as mentioned before, was tne lad who once stretched Fulton out in three rounds. What un- toward set of circumstances has now made him into the handy man for #4*the lad he once defeated is not given “out m the made-to-order answers given to interviewers. Standing the two men side by side. few would pick Fulton as the wir- ner in a finish combat.

JM So ABSENT 4 MINDED MLM Ll J Giants Show True Form in Checking Huggins’ Hitters As a Result of Six Victories in Seven Games, All Rivals Are Distanced. Those Prussians of New York City, better known as the Giants, are at pres- ent traveling at their true speed and cne that promises to make the Natianal League pennant race a runaway affair as far as the pennant winner is con- cerned. Up to July 1 the Giants went along gaining the lead one day and dropping it to the Phillies the next. But since then, or just for the past week, McGraw’s clan has showed what really can be expected of this team. They won six games ard iost only ane, the lone defeat coming at the hands wf the Superbas on flag-raising day § in Brooklyn. In this same time the Phillies have won only one game and lost five. The Cardinals, who missed two chances to go ahead of the Moranmen, won six out of nine, five of the victories coming over the tail-end Pirates. When July 1 rolled around the Giants were only 2% games ahead of their nearest competitors, the Phillies. This morning finds them 6% games to the good of the Sleepy City aggregation, ue the Cards’ are 7% contests be- ind, This shows that in the short space of one week the ‘Prussians’ have gained four full games. Should they continue this pace, by Labor day the pennant race wottld be settled and the only interest would be for the fight for show posi- tions between the other clubs. -——_——- Huggins Misses Baird. Miller James Huggins, whose Cardinal aggregation meets the Giants in the fourth clash of the series today, is to be pitied. With Baird gone home hbhe- cause of an illmess ifihis family, Hug: gins has just i6 players. The only re- @erves he owns are pitchers and one Catcher. Should anything happen to one of the regu- lar outfielders, Smith, Long or Cruise, the Cardinal leader would be decidedly up against it. Miller. Hornsby, Paulette Bs Letzel make up the infield at present with no ene to take their plares, barring Gonzales, who can play first. Im this way, Hug might’ be able to shift Paulette to the cardens. But if a pinch hitter is needed, it’s up to a pitcher or the catcher who is not working to come through. " Against this, McGraw’'s leaders are forti- fi@d as follows: Lobert, Kilduff and Kelly for work in the infield, while Kelly also can play the outfield. McGraw also has Gibson and Krueger to help out Rariden behind the bat, while Huggins’ staff is made up of Sny. der and Gonzales. Leon Agnes, the veteran right-hander, prab- ably will be Huggins pitching selection for the fourth contest of the series with the Giants today. He will be opposéd by either Rube Benton or Jeff Tesreau. There’s no chance for the Cardinals to clumb In the race today.. Even should the Phillies lose their third straight to the Corsairs and the Cards win, Huggins’ men would be four points hind Motan’s gang. | Browns’ Dugou! Is Mined; Blowotf May C ome Soon Half a Dozen Players Who Have Been Carried for a Long Time, but Who Have Nof Given Satisfaction, Are Facing Trans- fers—Improvement in Team Delays Explosion. By John E. Wray. WO whole days of errorless defense, two victories over the first division Yanks, plus timely hitting by Fielder Jones’ new Federal League-less batting order has averted a mine explosion under the Browns’ dugout. Be- neath that part of the coop occupied by certain high-priced bench-warmers the ground has been heavily mined and wired, and is now ready for the blow-off. Six or eight men have been sitting over a magazine. Since Saturday, which saw the team in take the field without a Federal League player in the lineup—the first time since Fielder Jones became manager,.it is said—the club has teased its friends into the hope that it has regained last yeurs form. As a result of the ehange team’s front, the explosion may take place as originally planned; but ‘t is certain that several players will awake in other parts of tne country before very long. Names are withheld; but it is suggested by those in the seats of the mighty that certain of the first line of defense and some first alter- nates will be among those affected by the shock. Hitting Strength Sought. The management is making every en- deavor to land Earl Smith of Omaha for immediate delivery, and Kenneth Williams of Portland, too, although ther® is scant hope of getting the lat- ier.

Such was the confi- dence Rogers has won that not a voice among the fans shouted the detestable “Take him out!” slogan. He was plainly fading fast, however. Pipp belted him for a long sacrifice fly, one run scoring. Bauman fol- lowed with a single, scoring another run. That ended Rogers. His chief fault was too much work and too little experience. The club was safe, however, by hammered home virtue of having eight runs, with “Baby Doll” Jacob- son being directly responsible for four runs, two e* which he scored himself and two others he drove in ahead of himself with a homer and a triple. He singled by way of good méasure, in the seventh round. Plank pitched steadfast ball and held the enemy hitless for the next three innings. The fact that Plank is now the only @t- eran pitching airtight ball for the Browns has had something to do with the Browns’ show- ing. Also the improvement in the team’s defense since Johnny Lavan went to short- stop seems to indicate that his previous ab- sence disorganized the inner defense.

The Midlothian links has a total yardage of 6503, with a par of 3% on each nine. Bobby Jones finished the first 158 holes in 80, regarded as a fair score for the long, difficult course.

This “trvst-bustinr’ performance gives Josties and Drewes the Central States doubles title, the trophy em- blematic of which is now held by Kumagae and Mikami, the Japs, who created such a sensation last year. This title ts not official, as all tennis activities are merely ‘“‘patriotic’’ this year. The winners however, are to m- ceive medals. The Japs, who hold the title trophy, have wenewed their bond, showing they intend to defend their honors when the war ends. The ‘‘trust’” has an oppertunity to re- deem itself in the sing!«s, as Drum- mond Jones plays Ted Drewes in ths semi-finals today at.8:30 p. m. to decide which of the two shall face Hoerr in the final round. Should Drewes win, it will necessitate a Aoerr virtory in the final to uphold the honor of the Jones- Hoerr monopoly. In yesterday's play a garie which they won resulted in the downfall of the Hoerr-Jones combine. It was the sec- ond game of the second set and was deuced 14 times before Hoerr’s beauti- ful placing netted a victory. After this game Jones seen-ed tired and be- reft of much of his ability.
