The men under arrest are Harry Nob- inson, white, 19 years old, a shoemaker, living at 106 North street, and the following negroes: Othaniel Peo- ples, Dee Smotherman, Charles Foster, l'ayette Parker and Marshall Alexan- ae.. One was Second of the white men being sought the leader of the whites who on July 2 massacred negroes, according to testimony that has been given at the Coroner's inquest. This information was obtained from a member of the Cor- oner’s jury by a Post-Dispatch reporter. The negroes are held jin connection with the killing of Detectives Coppedge and Wodley on the evening preceding the rioting in which more than W ne- groes were shot, burned or beaten io death by whites. The juror complained that most of the police efforts had been directed in the investigation toward incriminating ne- groes who participated in the _ riots, rather than the whites who, in addition to taking many negro lives, destroyed about $300,000 worth of property by burn- ing it. Chief of Police Payne and Night Chief Hickey have done nothing, the juror de- clared, to aid the Coroner’s jury in its investigation, but Chief of Detectives Stocker has lent considerable assistance. The Coroner's jury adjourned day to reconvene Monday. The grand jury will begin an investigation at Belleville Monday. Its work will be directed by officials from the office of Attorney-General Brundage.

The first testimony presented to the grand jury will be against 15 white per- sons, who will be charged with arson. The evidence was gathered by Deputy State Fire Marshals from Sprinefield. Following that, testimony will be given against 10 white persons aind six negroes suspected of murder. The military board appointed to in- vestigate the riots and the actions of the militiamen and military commanders during tne trouble, will not convene un- til Tuesday. Republic Stories Condemned.

The “Press ‘Club of St. Louis,” which recently introduced the ex- traordinary spectacle of a “benefit” for itself in the name of patriotism, has given a chattel mortgage on all the furniture and fixtures in its quarters on the nineteenth floor of the Railway Exchange Biulding. The mortgage, recorded today, is held by Claude ‘B, Ricketts, and was given as a pledge that the club would meet arrears in rentals amounting to $1350 and dating from March 18, 1916. The recording of the mortgage in- dicates that the “benefit’’ at Delmar Garden, July 2-3, was not of sufficient financial success to pull the “Press Club” out of its annual deficit. The “benefits held in four previous years were moré successful financially. Cecil Morrison Baskett, president of the ‘Press Club” was not at his of- fice at the club when a Post-Dispatch reporter called for a statement. ARGENTINE PORTS OPEN TO U. S.

Won't Take Any Chances. Continuing the Mavor said: “‘] am sat- isfied under the present plan, with a capitalization for the company of $60,009,- 000, and 6 per cent earnings, that the city would make half a million dollars a year, which would be as much as it is row getting from the mill and franchise taxes levied against the company, but I'm not going to take any chances. “That's why I'm going to insist that there be a guarantee on the part of the company of a net income to the city of as much as it has been making from the mill and franchise taxes. I know the company represéntatives will kick about this, but I’m going to insist on it."’ He coneluded the interview when he turned to Comptroller Nolte and _ de- clared, ‘‘We will not take any chances on this, Louie.” There were wide discrepancies be- tween the figures in the company's re- port submitted to the conference by C. E. Smith, consulting engineer represent- the city, and the annual report signed by President Richard McCullocn of the company. The difference between the two statements was due to the fact ,; that in the Smith report only $591,239.77 was charged to depreciation, while in the McCulloch report the depreciation charge was given as $1,516,995. 24. In the Smith report only the actual due to depreciation were the McCulloch report nearly more than actually ex- pended for depreciation was arbitrarily charged off. Meculloch, when questioned by a Post- Dispatch reporter today, explained that it was by charging off to depreciation a much larger amount than was actual- iv expended, that a reserve fund for the payment of the mill tax and the redemr- tion of maturing bonds was accum- ulated. He declared that both his re- port to stockholders and the report used In £7 000,000 was AS a guide in the compromise negotiations were Will Insist on Guaranty. At a meeting’ of the Board of Exsti- mate and Apportionment vesterday, President Aloe called attention to the fact that if the annual report to stockholders of the United Railways was correct, the city would not derive anything from the proposed partner- ship agreement. He called for the Smith report to be compared with the correct. | annual report, and when Mayor Kiel and Comptrolled Nolte saw the differ- ence in figures, it was decided that | the city msut have a guarantee from the company that its share of the net profits would not fall below what is now being received in the way of franchise and mill taxes. The Smith report shows that the company has made a practice for several years of charging off an arbi- trary sum to depreciation and that its actual surplus has been much larger every years than tndicated by the an- nual report. City officials said today that they had been informed that the company had accumulated $8,000,000 in this manner, held in the form of bonds and other securities, but Presi- dent McCulloch declared that this was not true. The gross income of the company for shown by Smith's report. was and, as shown by McCul- report, $3,432.118.56. Under the of the proposed agreement the aS loch's the | company would be permitted to earn 6 the per cent on $60,000,000. The earnings un- Rureau der this arrangement would amount to was for a contin-| $3,600.00 a vear, which is in excess of the | gross earnings as shown by McCulloch's but $721,988 less than the gross earnings as shown by the company’s re- port to Smith Amendment In Drafted. During the necottations Smith that if the company as much-as in I916. said continued to earn the city would be of as much revenue from the profit-sharing partnership as from both the mill and franchise taxes.

July 14.—With 947 of un- WASHINGTON, the 4559 exemption districts still heard from today, an accurate predic- tion as to the date of the great drawing under the army selective conscription law was still impossible. Most of the of- ficials who are closely watching the situ- ation believed, however, that all would be ready in time for the drawing next week. More than 400 districts filed their re- ports of organization yesterday and last night. The bulk of these missing dls- tricts are in large cities and will report about the same time. Meanwhile nominations for the district appeal boards still await action by President Wilson. The full list of men recommended for his selection has been submitted by Brigadier-General Crowd- er, Provost Marshal-General. There wi!l be no need to delay the drawing for these nominations, as the appeal boards will have no functions to perform until the actual examination of men by the ‘district boards has commenced. Rig Task for Newspapers. Newspapers in the big centers of the country are beginning to realize more clearly every day the magnitude of the task before them in announcing the or- der for appearance of each registrant. It seems now that a majority of the pa- pers will be compelled to print on the first day only the names of the men whio are likely to be called to make up the 687,000 to be drafted for military service In each state the number that will mean from each district in the state is now be- ing determined by the Governor. In any the allotment of quotas by districts may range widely. One dis- trict may be called upon for several hun- men and another for only two or three, due to credits for volunteers, dis- tribution of registrants, or other factors which the Governors are considering in making allotments. The result will be that for one district the papers may be able to publish at once names of the men who will be first to- appear and also additional names in order of liability, to cover probable ex- emptions. Rotation Numbers Won't Be Same. Another factor in the drawing that may prove puzzling is the fact that the rotation numbers will not be the same in every district. For instance, if the largest district has 7000 men registered and the smallest 187, and the others range between, 7000 numbers would have to be drawn. The first serial number might be 6775. That would mean that the number 6775 would be the first up in every district which had 6775 men or more. It would mean nothing to any district with fewer 7745 state dred than 6775 registrants. The second number drawn might be 26. Then in all small districts number % wold be first up, but in districts having 6775 or more registrants, number would come up second. An important preliminary step towards the organization of the new national army was taken with the publication to- day of President Wilson's order drafting 687,000 men into miiltary service. bring the regular army and national guard up to war strength, and to form the first half million of the new rmy. The total of the three forces will be 1,262, 985 men, In computing the allotment from each State, the Government gave credit for the number of men in the natonal guard of the State and every recruit contributed to the regular army since April 1. Secretary Baker’s Announcement. Following is Secretary Baker's an- nouncement of President Wilson's or- der: “By virtue of the authority him by an act of Congress entitled act to authorize the President to in- crease temporarily the military estab- lishment of the United States,’ ap- toh May LG, 1917, the President of the fe ted -O vested in ‘An _— United States has ordered the aggregate number of 687,000 men to be raised by draft for the miiltary service of the lnited States in order to bring to full strength the organizations of the regu- lar army and the organizations embody- ing the members of the national guard drafted into the military service of the United States, army, and has caused said aggregate number to be apportioned to the severai states and territories and the District of Columbia as set forth in the schedule hereto appended. “The Governor of each state and ter- ritory and the commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, acting for and by the direction of the President and in accord- ance with said act of Congress and rules regulations prescribed pursuant shall apportion: the quota sv apportioned to such state, territory or district and shall communicate to each local board established in such territory or district notice of the net quota to be furnished by such board; and such net quotas shall thereupon be furnished by the respective loca! boards as required by said act of Congress and rules and reguiations prescribed pursuant there- and thereto, to.

Civic League to Report. The special committee of the Civic League, which has considered the pro- posed compromise, will issue a report this afternoon. The members of this committee are: Charles W. Bates, fvur- merly City Lambert E. Walther, former Councilman and Citv Counselor; William F. Woerner, author of the mill tax ordinance and former memnher of the Missouri Public Service Commission; Joseph L. Hernsby, former chairman of the St. Louis Public Serv- ice Commission, and Frank P. Crunden, former member of the City Council. ft is understood that this committee will issue a report strongly recommending the defeat of the scheme. The Civic League gave out a "letter by Delos F. Wilcox, former chairman of the Public Service Commission of New York, in which he points out ob- jections to the proposed compromise. He asserts that the stockholders of the United Railways will be unable to deal with the city on a fair basis, because the bonds issued by the company are far in excess of the value of the prop- erty as determined by the St. Louis Public Service Commission. On this point he said: “The primary difficulty Counselor lies in the | fact that the value of the property as K DRAFTING | ‘the British Admiralty. | Plosion while the ship was at anchor Caused the disaster to the Vanguard. and to create the national | ‘the explosion. ‘reads: ‘Bity, EAPLOSION SINKS WAROHIP VANGUARD 770 MEN PERISH British Dreadnought Blows Up While at Anchor, Accident Being Internal.

This fundamental condition not in- herent in the plan proposed, but lies back of it. “With | have one to offer. The ice ably because bv rourse, do. of now is to the serious plan itself, criticisms Suggestion that the company should pay the arrears of the mill tax and issue bonds for the amount, is from the point of view of cor- rect accounting and sound finance, entirely wrong. The matter is helped somewhat by the further suggestion that these bonds should be amortized within a fixed period of years. This matter should be treated precisely city should treat accruing de- ficits in current expenses. To cap- italize them unsound, but if by reason of some overmastering neces- bonds have to be issued to se- cure the money Square the city’s account, then at the very least, these bonds should be amortized out of the current revenues within a very short period of years—say not more than five. It may be that the plan to cap- italize the mill tax is put forward primarily for the purpose of prevent- ing the company from going through bankruptcy and being reorganized upon a sound basis. reference or two as a is to Wilcox also criticises the proposed partnership in the management of the company. On this point he said: ‘‘As to the double-headed management and the board of directors with repre- sentatives of the city among its mem- bers, I am inclined to be quite doubtful. I do not think that the intergsts of the ¢ompany and the city should ever be brought together into one governing board unless the contract is so drawn as to make its purpose definitely and fundamentally public. According to m7? view of the general public utility situa- tion, there is an ultimate and irrecon- ¢ilable difference of motive between the public point of view and the usual point of view of the public service corpora- tion, and my point is that any contract that puts the city into a position of part- nership with the company as to manage- ment must be based upon making the public point of view pr2vail. “Definitely, this means that the idea of exploiting the street railway services for profit, at least without first providing for a change of owner- ship, must be gotten away from. If the company accepted in good faitha contract, under which its tenure was admittedly temporary and prepara- tory to the city’s entering into full control through public ownership and operation, then it might be all right to manage the property in the mean- time through a joint board of con- trol and a board of directors repre- senting both parties, but where the city has a minority representation on the board of directors, and there is no definite agreed-upon financial pro- gram which is constantly operating to transfer the ownership and control of the property to the public, the likelihood is that the result of the partnership will be the acceptance by the city of the company’s point of view in the main, rather than the company’s acceptance of the city’s point of view. The Kansas City settlement is of course too new to furnish any final answer to this criticism, but in that agreement definite provision was made for the gradual elimination of the intangible elements in the valua- tion, which is a point of very great importance. “This brings me to the final sug- gestion that I desire to make at this time.

WASHINGTON, July 14.—Plans for speeding up final action on food con- trol legislation in the Senate in accord- ance with the suggestion of the President covered in a communication to Senator Martin, Democratic floor leader of the Senate, are being mapped out today by administration leaders, One of the first moves to that end was to arrange for a meeting early in the coming week of the Senate Democratic steering committee, when efforts will be made to perfect the original house bill along the lines proposed by the President to provide for Government control of foodstuffs, feeds and fuels only. Senator Martin called a conference for late today of Senate leaders, Repub- licans and Democrats, who favor the general scheme of the administration program, to discuss changes in the pending bill. Expects to Pass Bill in Week. Leaders of both sides expressed con- viction that the bill before the Senate would be amended and passed next Sat- urday. When debate in the Senate was re- sumed Senator Stone declared that a!- though the food bill contained many things he did not like and which he would not suport in normal times, he intended to vote for the measure now. He said he opposed America entering the war, but was behind the President in the emergency. ‘Undoubtedly,’ he added, ‘‘bills are being passed which in some of their essential parts would in ordinary times be denounced as subversive of the clear mandates of the Constitution. “Il think that insofar as the law-mak- ing power is concerned, the Constitu- dion, crucified, lies in a state of sus- pended animation-—at least temporariiy moribund. Whether this old charter of our liberties shall ever arise, revital- ized, I do not Know. The judiciary the one remaining constitutional ordinate power of the Government which, so far as we know, is yet free from revolutionary influences. Whether when they shall be called upon, the Judges will stand unbending for the Constitution, or whether they shall join the legislative mob in the onward rush toward constitutional demolition or rev- Olutionary chunge in our fundamental ideals, remains to be seen.”’ President Gives Views. President Wilson, in a letter to Sena tor Martin, came to the support of the administration food control bill as or- iginually submitted to Congress. The letter was written in response to a re- quest from Senate leaders fore assist- ance. .in solving the difficulties standing in the way of action there. He recom- mended the general purposes of the oriz- inal bill for Government control of foods, feeds and fuels only. «le wrote that he believed unnecessary the tension of Government control as posed in amendments attached in Con- gress to steel, iron, copper, cotton, wool, leather and other products. The Gore substitute was opposed py the President as an emasculation of the administration legislation. He wrote that he deplored the delay to the bill and considered prompt final disposition of the legislation imperative.

F Association, with many representatives of grocery, clothing and department stores, held a conference with the Commerce Eco- nomy Board of the Council of National De- fense in that city, and in this conference adopted a plan for the entire elimination of deliveries of small parcels for the pur- pose of affecting a general economy. The association is to be congratulated upon its reason and sanity in adopting this’ plan, for it will work not only to an economy to the merchant, but to a sensible economy of the purchaser as well. The loss to the merchant of goods returned must be a big item, anda loss to the purchaser of goods to be charged and sent out must be a great- er item. : The freedom with which ouP merchants give indiscriminate credit is, to my think- ing, a wrong business principle, and not only works a hardship to the merchant, but works to the annoyance, the dissatisfac- tion and unrest of the purchaser’s house- hold. Personally, I have adopted the plan of having no merchandise charged or small parcels delivered, and find that it works a substantial saving and economy. As an illustration of what trouble may arise from indiscriminate and careless ex- tension of credit, I would cite a case which occurred just two weeks ago in my criminal court, where a girl of 17 charged to her father’s account in a department store in this city, merchandise to the value of $48, and gave the articles to a self-styled the- atrical promoter, induced by his false prom- ise and pretense to her that he would put her on the stage and that he needed the articles for theatrical purposes. Of course the father paid the bill. The jury gave the young man four years in the peniten- tiary. It would seem from this case that there ie no protective system in our department stores which would discover the right and authority to charge an account with a pur- chase. Had caution been exercised by the store in this case, this crime would have been nipped in the bud, the girl would not have been deceived, and the young man would not have to spend four years in the penitentiary. Permit me to suggest to the National Re- tallers that in addition to the elimination of the delivery of small parcels, that they also adopt the plan of protective credit, which will work to the end of protection and economy both to the merchant and to the man who has to pay the bills. KARL KIMMEL. The Kaiser’s Error. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, If anybody ever made a rotten mess of statecraft it has been the Germans since the Leginning of this war, and the withered hand of the Kaiser can be seen in it all. The dismissal of Bismarck in his early career showed what Wilhelm was. Sampson's strength was in his hair, Wilhelm’'s is in his mustache. x. A Question to ‘‘Soul Mates.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. With regard to a certain well known, so-called triangle case in which the “spirit mate” of a wealthy man slightly beyond middle age recently gave an interview to the newspapers, I would like to ask this question of all “soulmates” and affinities: If you had been first in the affection of your husband and three little children who missed their daddy because someone else stole that husband and father from you and those little ones, who, I say, is to be the judge of whether he has found his real mate or not? Tell me that, oh ye who think yourselves better than wives. Once the “soul mate” obtains his or her object and a divorce has been granted, the affinity mar- rying the Man or woman thus freed, who fe to judge if they-are the right one? For either the man or, woman may grow tired again, and then what? It all depends whose ox is gored. A WIFE WHO WON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP. ———_ St. Louis Children Hungry. Pe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Everyone talks of the high cost of food these days—even the most patriotic peo- ple. But what a charitable gentleman told today should be brought to the attention of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ He said that he knew children in the central West End of the city who were actually starving be- eause their mothers were compelled to feed them bran instead of tread made of wheat ormeal. He alserelated that a poor old man ‘of his acquaintance was forbidden by the police to collect scraps from the garbage cans to feed to his chickens. The newspapers cought to hurry the Gov- ernment along in an effort to make life less anxious for the working people gen- erally. They ferm the backbone of the Bation. « x CB. WILL ST. LOUIS BE BOUND? Let us consider the effect on the municipal government of the proposed partnership of the city with the United Railways Company. Under the approved agreement four of the prin- cipal officers of the city will be on the board of directors of the company. The city will not con- trol the board; it will only have representation on the board—a voice in the management. Naturally, the interests controlling the United Railways will want harmony on the board; they will want men who will approve the management of the railways and the policy which will benefit the owners of its stocks and bonds and the finan- cilers handling the securities. In only one way can this harmony in the man- agement be assured; that is by’ controlling the nomination and election of the Mayor, Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen, the three members of the board holding elective offices. The fourth member, the Director of Public Wel- fare, is appointed by the Mayor. Under such a partnership, will not every muni- cipal election cefhter around the question of the management of the United Railways? Will not all the interests connected with the United Rail- ways Company and its allied corporations con- centrate their money and influence on the nomina- tion and election of men who would be desirable and usable members of the company’s board? Will not the interest of the company become the jparamount issue in city elections? ‘Another point: With the Mayor, Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen on the United Railways board under heavy pressure to approve the management, will there not be mutual concessions and understandings? In order to satisfy the municipal] officers, will not the com- pany’s payroll be placed at the disposal of the Mayor and his associates? Will not the United Railways and its allied interests become a huge political machine with vast spojls to distribute and many votes to cast? With the United Rail- ways are linked other public utilities, banks and big business. The owners of two newspapers are interested in the United Railways. The owner of one is on the board of directors and the other is represented on the board. Men who direct other great corpora- tions hold its stocks and bonds. , Will it not be the nucleus of a more powerful “Big Cinch”? Partnership between the city and the United Railways holds possibilities of the wrecking of good government in St. Louis, The interests of the corporation may overwhelm the interests of the city. allied corporations may become cogs in a powerful political machine which will hold St. Louis in bondage. The employes of the company and its BISBEE’S BREAK. Nothing could be more lawless—not even the violent lawlessness of the I. W. W. extremists— than the deportation of over 1300 I. W. W. strikers and sympatHizers from Bisbee by a vigilance com- mittee of citizens. It is on a par in lawlessness with the East St. Louis race riot. It shows to what extremes men who are supposed to be law-abiding citizens op- posed to lawlessness will go when their interests are touched and their passions aroused. The authorities of Arizona must master this impossible situation. They must protect these men from such violence and punish their oppres- sors. gif any of the I. W. W. men are law-breakers let thém be punished by legal process. = = a a France has temporarily suspended all imports and will later impose sweeping restrictions af- fecting the incoming of many commodities. But alarmist correspondents will continue to insist that her deficiencies in supply form a grave allied peril. Se ONE HUNDRED DAYS IN RUSSIA. “Russia has advanced 100 years in 100 days,” says Premier Lvoff. - If, measuring Russian progress by the progress in even the most democratic of other European countries, his statement is seen to have an ele- ment of substantial truth, it is in part because Russia had so much farther to go than they, be- cause at the beginning of the 100 years they had many of the things Russia has only obtained now. But Russia’s is so far from being that static form of democracy found in other countries of so-called liberal government in Europe that she has already outstripped them. In addition to those guarantees for the person and for liberty of speech oh which other European democracies have long plumed themselves, Russia decrees equality of religion. What progress to- ward this idea has been made in 100 years by those countries which still mantain established churches accorded preferential treatment? Russia starts with suffrage for both sexes. What one of the so-called democracies has gone so far? Russia has abolished the class distinctions and class privileges and other forms of disillu- sioning snobbery that are still firmly entrenched in other countries in denial of essential demo- cratic principles. Russia has long served as the horrible example from which to inculcate contentment into the common man of Europe. When he became dissatis- fied with his social and economic handicaps he was told how much more fortunate he was than the common man under the Czar and how happy he ought to be in consequence. In advancing her- self, Russia has potentially dragged the whole continent along with her. _ From what comparisons is the virtue of con- tentment with his lot to be preached to the com- mon man elsewhere, when the horrible example of the planet has ceased to exist? _ How shall England and other countries main- tain their ridiculous aystems of castes and tities, nations against women when even Russia has left all of those things and other archaic relics of privilege in government far behind? = _ -_ S FLAT RIVER RACE RIOTS. The race and labor riots at Flat River are 4 logical continuation of the race riots at East St Louis. Negro workers were hunted down by the East St. Louis mob. White workers of foreign na Flat River mob. The elements of peril in the situation are manifest. Missouri must not deal with it as f- effectively and blunderingly as Illinois dealt with the troubles on the other side of the river. If the local authorities are unwilling or unable to give full protection to the victims of mob as- sault and assure them thetr right to work, the State must take vigorous measures to keep the peace. Trifling and delay may lead to very serious results. ‘= = * = GETTING BACK TO THE TAX LAW. The local Assessors of the State, meeting with the members of the Missouri Tax Commission, specifically pledged themselves to pursue the tax dodgers and to observe strictly the law and their oath of office requiring them to assess property at its actual value. This means that the Assessors are not to take the roll of the present year and, with a few addi- tions and changes, copy it as the roll for the com- ing year. It means one tax law for the whole State and not a different one for practically every taxing district. reassessment of practically all the property in the State of Missouri—a gigantic task. Just valuations on the part of the Assessor of a single important taxing district or on the part of a group of Assessors would do little toward But concerted action on the part of all Assessors will eliminate the competition among districts for fixing assessments at the smallest percentage of actual values and with that incentive removed the correction of inequalities ought to become almost automatic. The pledges of the Assessors look in the right direction. Especially gratifying are the assur- ances of President “Con” Roach of the Tax Board. With his large experience in public business and the authority vested in his board he can lend im- portant help in doubtful cases and supervise with valuable results the work of hesitating or incom- petent Assessors. All the past evils under our system—the flag- munities and painful lack of adequate public revenue—have been caused by departures from the law. The route toa reform is not without its difficulties, but is simple and direct. It is to get back to the law. a OT. ene GROWING POWER OF THE REICHSTAG. The Bundesrath or Federal Council of Germany, representing the German Kings and other state ) rulers, can veto any action taken by the Reichs- tag. And the Emperor can peremptorily adjourn the Reichstag sine die. Why, then, is Germany so evidently impressed with the present disturb- ances in the Reichstag? Why does a speech in that body, even by the leader of one of its big parties, the Clericals, arouse expectation of great political changes? The Chancellor, who is re- sponsible solely to the Emperor, has frequently defied the Reichstag, and its members have often deplored that the body was nothing more than a debating society. The spirit of New Russia lurks behind the Reichstag and menaces the German autocracy. The German people have been very patient, but other parliamentary bodies which appeared to have no power have suddenly taken the reins of power out of the hands of rulers. The Reichstag of today is not the Reichstag of 1914. Large num- bers of its members are soldiers. Most of them are intelligent-enough to know what ails their country. When a man like Mathias Erzberger makes up his mind that the Potsdam policies are wrong and ruinous to the nation and calls for saction, he does so because he recognizes that the people’s representatives have a popular backing which Hollweg and his imperial master will defy at their peril. The St. Louisan who said ‘to hell with the stars and stripes,’”’ now declares he is willing to follow the flag. Is this another subtle insult? ~~. » ae 2 THE TREASURE SHIP PEWABIC. The year that brings success to the 50-year ef- fort for locating the wreck of the steamer Pewa- bic, sunk with a load of copper ingots from Lake Superior, just after the Civil War, and for re- covering her valuable cargo, is also the year when copper commands a record-breaking price. The tragedy of the sinking of this boat in a collision with the Meteor was one of the stories of romance in the Great Lakes resort country, and resort countries always make the most of their romances. About every second season zest was added to the visitor’s stay by accounts of some new and theoretically ingenious plan for finding and raising the old hulk. This gave excuse, if excuse were needed, for telling anew the harrow- ping details of the loss of life in the original sink- ing and in successive fortune-hunting expedi- tions for salvaging her in the stormy waters of Thunder Bay. No story ever estimated the value of her contents at less than a million. The real value is about $200,000. The old Pewabic had become a tradition, an institution, of the lake section, as much a feature as the Arch Rock and other topography of Mac- kinac Island or the beauties of the Inland Route or Fr. Marquette’s alleged grave at St. Ignace or the plunging water of the Soo Rapids. The end of the long search may bring relief to some ha- bitual summer visitors, but these lack the sensi- bilities and weaknesses of the true tourist. In any country a by resorters an unsalvaged treasure ship is a genuine asset and her recovery by a prosaic wrecking company, assisted by pon- tooms and snorting steam tenders may tnvolve as much of a loss in some directions as gains in an- oa On Oe ee tivity and speech are being hunted down by the It means a re-examination and. removing the fundamental cause of disparities.» rant injustices inflicted on individuals and com- | THE INTERNATIONAL BASTILE. i ae ai - ——— ei en i el i i ae —_ er ~- ae OO re Oe tt ay SS THE WPREKLY WAR SUMMARY. HIS has really been a stirring week in the T paper, though one could scarcely notice it from the outside. The Germans, who are on Page 2, have been holding a tremendous conference, and pretty much everybody else in the paper has been looking on from behind whatever there was to offer shelter. These people say the Germans have for the most part been gathered around a soapbox in the cen- ter of the page, and that one orator after another has hopped the box and had his say. The Kaiser frequent- ly speaks there, as does the Crown Prince. Von Beth- mann-Hollweg, the premier, and even Max Harden, are among those who are from time to time heard. The point at issue is what Germany should do next. The Kaiser tries to convince everybody that God has been too busy with other things to give the war the atten- tion it deserves, and urges all to be patient. The ex- pression on a good many faces while the Kaiser is getting off this kind of bunk is terrible. The real surprise of the conference is the Crown Prince. The C. P. agrees with his dad no oftener than any other son agrees with his dad. What the C. P. sees some- what better than his dad is the royal finish. He is disposed to be liberal. One of our editorial writers, who was watching from behind an advertisement when the C. P. made his last speech, says if the House of Hohenzollern is saved when the crash comes, it will be because of the attitude assumed by the C. P. to- ward liberal reforms. That young man is growing fast. You may imagine what the situation is when we report an occasion of last Thursday afternoon, on which one of our observers saw him sitting on a column rule calmly talking it over with Harden. As our Answers man, who has been up there, says: ‘‘Old Kings are still foolish, but young Kings are about the wisest ever.’’ The great movement of Russans from Page 4 over to Page 3, which began last week, has continued since without serious interruption, though the Austrians and Germans have done what they could. The Rus- sians are fresh and full of pep, whereas the enemy is weakened by withdrawals to the first page, where the allies are giving the Germans the fight of their lives. The Russians have organized a page-wide advance, and are proceeding steadily across eight columms. They seem without end, and there is no longer any question of their loyalty to the allied cause. Whenever there is a sag anywhere in the line, the young man Kerensky is rushed thither and reads one of Elihu Root’s speeches. This. cheers everybody up, and the impression that we are to show the Russian work- man how to organize a union after the war buoys everyone forward with the true spirit of allied co- operation. Otherwise there is not a great deal to report. The Italians, who are on Page 5, are confirming the sus- picion that they only wanted to get there to spend the summer. There are a good many people wander- ing around in the paper one way and another claiming to know more about the war than is apparent on the first page, but after hearing a few of them out one always bustles back to the front page te learn whats : | JUST A MINUTE Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAcams h } SSeS The war is a tremendous progression toward something or other, and one can only judge it as it is what. passes a given point. Mr. Wilson seems to have his vision focused upon that point a little clearer than anyone else. He always knows exactly where the elephants are, how long it will be until another band passes, and about when we may @xpect to see the hippopotamus. Everybody in the paper is more and more appreciating Mr. Wilson’s twin-six thinking ap- paratus. It is the best the war has developed, and Mrs. Wilson is, of course, jubilant. mS Re KAISER BILL'S MACHINE, With an apology to the author of Dunderbeck’s Machine. HERE was a good old German man, His name was Kaiser Bill. Now, he made lots of sausage meat With cannon made to kill. He had the greatest butcher shop This world has ever seen— And just to make the killing good He built a war machine, Chorus: Oh! Mr. Kaiser Bill, how could you be so mean? Now, ain’t you awful sorry you invented that machine. For Pa and Ma and kiddies, too, Will never more be seen. They grind them up in sausage meat In Kaiser Bill’s machine. ' Now, Uncie Sam was fast asleep Until one day Kaiser Bill Said, ‘‘We must have more sausage meat, So Yankees we must kill!’’ Then Uncle Sam woke up and said, ‘*By gum, this must not be; I’ll have to smash his war machine, If I must cross the sea!’ Chorus—'Same as first: Now, one day, as it all turned out, The thing went kind of slow; So Kaiser Bill-he crawled inside To find out what you know. And while he was inside the thing Our army and our fleet They gave the crank one awful turn, And Bill was sausage meat. Chorus: Oh! Mr. Kaiser Bill, how could you be so mean? Now, ain’t you awful sorry you invented that machine? For Pa and Ma and kiddies, too, Now live with lives serene— Since Uncle Sam hopped ont of bed And smashed your damned machine. vr i aakie Gee tee CLE Tee a ee ee ry 5.

In the two previous ones she told how she was ‘‘war godmother’’ to fourteen friendless soldiers to whom she writes letters and for whom she shops when requested. She has been in France for more than two years and in Paris for more than seven months. EAR HUSBAND: Upon receipt of the cable announcing your eariy return to me I danced a miser imitation of a sailor’s hornpipe. And I danced another for very joy of living over the fact that our soldiers are coming, too. one else in America realize the effect their landing on French soil will have. We who live here and know a little about war are almost breathless for fear something will prevent our “reg Ulars’’ from taking part in the big parade on July 14. To hear French people talk about it it would almost seem that the same participation in the procession is al] that is asked of our tien. Whether France 1eeds help we don’t know, and not one of us would tell it if we did. But we do know that after all these months of horror we are all as children and even small encour- agements mean much. I envy every boy who is Coming to help out. His welcome will be great. Paris has indeed been an exciting place during the past two weeks. For there have been strikes of every de- scription. The first was that of the midinettes. They decided suddenly to work no longer unless they were given an extra franc a day. Reflect upor. that. A franc in regular times is 20 cents; now it isn’t even that much. HE dressmakers’ helpers have been given their just demands, includ- tng half-holiday on Saturday. Now we have the strike of the workers on corsets, on men’s furnishings and on waterproof garments. After that the clerks in the groceries and meat mar- kets, even the lowly workers in the laundries came into the game. And the hands in the ammunition factories, the ‘perfume shops and the makers of imi- tation’ flowers have laid down their tools. All is not settled in spite of the fact that the Government in an article published in all the papers has asked for patriotism and patience on the part of all. I've been asked to join an English charity, but I don’t think I shall, and this is the good reason why.,The lady in charge of the new work came to me the other day, quite up in the air. She said she'd had such a “beastly’’ experience this morning. An ordinary Tommy haa come up to a captain with whom she was speaking and actually shook hands! Can you believe it? And she went on to say that she feared the American troops would be even worse than that. And I answered, ‘I hope so.’ She looked at me exactly as the Londoner did when he told me I was go nice he could hardly beileve I wasn’t one of ‘em. That, of course, is beside the point. I forgave this lady all when she brought to me four Canadian soldiers to whom I was to show Gp tiny bit of Paris, We started out. In one minute TI knew that these four boys were regular human beings, talking real United States. They didn’t say: ‘‘How-du-yuh-doo, Mudum.” They said: ‘“‘Hello, Kid, say, that’s some hat.’’ We visited the Madeline. All agreed that that is was some building. We went to Napoleon's tomb. Again a unanimous vote made it some place. As we came out of the museum, where we saw the captured German flags, I said: “Now, boys, we've just time to get to Notre Dame before dark.’ After a few mo- ments of agonized silence, one, more courageous than the rest, spoke up like this: “‘Aw, have a heart. We don't wan- na see old Notre Dame. Show us a strawberry shortcake.’’ I won't say I did, and I won't say I didn't. But if any- one were to ask four kids, on leave in Paris for thy first time in 13 months, how they liked the gargoyles, they prob- ably would aagwer that we didn’t call t It was mighty dern good, nevertheléss, and that the berries, were very sweet and juicy. "VE spent the better part of two days | shopping with a friend, looking for for what we both know to be the scarcest article in Paris, to wit, a fireless cooker. For, after last winter's short- age of coal, and the fact that the Gov- ernment is urging dire economy to face the inevitable famine of next year. housekeepers are waking up to the wonders of the cooker. At the present moment there are none in town, though all the dealers promise to have a full stock as soon as they can get them from the factories. When we started out on the hunt the first day my friend said ' We were to stop at the house of a lady who had a beauty. Unlike the one you bought for me, which I was praising to the skies, this particular make was per- fect without the trouble and expense of heating the stones. It seems all one has to do is to heat the food, put it in the container and eee —y Embarrassing Nothing is more embarrassing to a Woman than the odor of piration. It's unnecessary.

So I willingly climbed seven flights of stairs to find out all about it. You see this lady lives in one of the houses where the elevator doesn’t run except from 5 to 8 in the evening. The owner of the fireless cook- er was at home and cheerfully and proudly showed us her jewel. We ad- mired it from all sides. We praised its shape and its shine and its size. We tasted some delicious “croissants,’ which had been made therein. And we were both such perfect ladies that we refrained from noticing the sign in large letters, ‘“‘Made in Germany,” which was placed in a conspicuous spot Last night a splendid soldier came to dinner—splendid in spite of his ghastly face wounds. He is just out of hos- pital and in the afternoon had had his first ride in the Bois. He was absolutely amazed at the seeming brilliance of Paris; at the amount of food in the markets, when he’d read for a long time that many things were impossible to get; at the cheerfulness of the people and the crowds on the boulevards; but above: all that, in spite of the lack of es- sence, the Champs Elysees could be so crowded with motor vehicles of every description. And all, all filled with beautiful women. “So beautiful that though I know the petrol is needed close to the front for the transport of food and ammunition and troops, stil! | would not change things if I could.” Typically Parisian, isn’t it? ‘ I’m still going to the Vestiaire three times a week and it all means work. But the ladies are all so nice and so many funny things happen that ! wouldn't miss a day for thing. terday we received such wonderful boxes from the Mercy Committee of New Jer- sey. They contained stacks and stacks of lovely things, all new and each piece marked with a pretty card showing Ol¢c Glory and underneath this charming sentiment: “This gift is offered to you in witness of the sympathy of your American, friends.” Such things mak: us glad to help the refugees. EVERAL days ago a woman came, saying she was from the invaded districts, that she had no clothes except the things she was wearing, and that her husband was in bed, etc. 1t seems he needed a pair of black and white trousers—not plain black, nor blue, nor gray, nor brown, but black and white. So one kind soul pulled down dozens of pairs, and after quite some time a symphony in black and white was discoverea. Just the proper size and weight, but rot the length, exactly. No, too long by perhaps an inch. So the refugee left us, grudgingly admitting that PERHAPS they COULD be made an inch shorter. Yesterday the Vestiaire received a bill tor 2 francs, the price of the alteration. 1 ask you, CAN YOU BEAT IT? Paris seems to be full of foreigners these days. The restaurants and the tea shops are packed with them and, l’ve been told that when the gentle hint to go is given in most places at 9:30 by the turning down of the lights, the cafes and dance halls in the Paris Gay White Way are just: beginning to light up. I know you are lonely. I'd know it even if you didn’t tell me in your let- ters. But in spite of that I’m going to leave you now, because this is my day for writing to three good, tried and true soldiers of France, and they are lonely, too. They and I thank you again for the little typewriter. Do you know it’s other name is “the friend of the poilu?”’ I like to think my little machine is, like everyone I meet, doin’ its bit. BILLY.

A Matter of History } ) LENZI, last of the Tribunes of IR Rome, on June 2, 1347, rose above the struggles of the nobles in the Eterna! City, seized the chief power and expelled them in an effort to restore thea ancient liberties of the city. Lawless- ness and disorder, which had been the order of the day, disappeared under his vise administration, which, unfortunate- was overthrown after seven months by a eounter revalution. Rienzi! was the of an innkeeper. Despite his humble birth he early displayed a desire learning. The history of his own Rome interested him above all else. Rienzi's dreams were of nothing but the restoration of the glory of his native citv. He was eloquent on the subject end his entnusiasm kindled the flame in others. With saddened heart he looked upon the doings of the nobles, those wno were supposed to be Rome's leaders. And then one morning Rome woke up and found that Rienzi waa King. Foolishment. HE sat in the swing, Mazie And asked Julius Potts, who was lazy, To make the swing go, But he answered, “Ob, no! ly, Son for did Miss I'm foolish, but gpa, I ain't crazy.” nd | | ' FROM A SPANISH CATALOGUE. MAN who had learned Spanish in A Spain picked up one of the numerous American catalogues that are sent to Latin- American countries in alleged Span- ish. This is what he read, according to the Pan-American Review: “In -an automobile’ catalogue, splendidly issued and richly illus- trated, but full of absurdities on ac- count of its insufferaLle translation, I read this caption at the foot of a magnificent illustration: Conco pasa- jeros curros para viajando—just as if we would say in English: “To travel- ing car five passengers,” intsead of ‘“Five-passenger car for traveling.” In a leather goods catalogue, the cap- tion, “Harness for a_ single-horse buggy,” is translated into Spanish in this way. “Harness for a bachelor horse full of bugs.” The title of another calalogue was this: “Rough on rats,” and the trans- lator put it in Spanish: To h— with rates. You can find in many hardware or machinery catalogues the most striking translations; for instance: Corkscrew for screw-driver: nut for Screw; gobbler for bolt; and hair-curl for cork-screw! All of which must spread laughter and sunshine in South America. { Simple Apparatus for Drying Fruits and Vegetables CHEAP and very satisfactory drier A for use over the kitchen stove can be made from a small amount of sm&ll mesh gavanized wire netting and & number of laths or strips of wood about one-half inch thick and two inches wide. The sereen may be tacked directly on the framework to make the drying shelves, or the framework can be made to support seeparate trays. By using two laths nailed together the framework can be stiffened and larger trays made if desirable. This form or any of the lighter makes of driers can be suspended from the ceiling over the kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline or gas stove, and it will utilize the hot air which rises dur. ing the cooking hour. It can be raised out of the way or Swung to one side by a crane made of lath when the stove is required for cook- ing purposes and lowered or ewune back to utilize the heat which otherwise would be wasted when the top of the stove is not in use. Blanching consists of plunging the veg- etable into boiling water for a short time. Use wire basket or cheese cloth bag for this. After blanching the re- quired number of minutes, drain well and remove surface moisture from vege- tables by placing between two towels or by exposing to the sun and air for a short time. . —_—-—— Incongruity in Decoration | BR ropean oor Oriental porcelain, coarse, hand-woven linen br the most beautifully finished damask, can be used advantageously on the dining room table; but it should be clearly de- cided which of the two styles is to be adopted and, when the decision is made, it should be kept to consistently. Brightly colored pottery has a charm. ing effect on the tablé, especially for luncheon or breakfast, but it should have appropriate accompaniments in the shape of strong, not too thin, glass, an suitable table linen! by preference of the hand-woven variety. Again, the furniture in the room must be considered; a pottery service with peasant accessories, does not go well in a Sheraton dining room, while in com- bination with old oak or good, simple, modern furniture, it will be charming. On the other hand, fine china should, if possible, only be used in connection with equally fine linen and glass. Any attempt to mix the two kinds of things in any of the table accessories will produce the most unsatisfactory effects. The same process of selection shouid really extend throughout the house. A little reflection as to the suitability of different things to form a combination is really all that is required, and, given this, the incongruous effects so often seen may easily be avoided.

QOutdriving Edwards, the former champion hooked to a deep pit on the 520-yard fourth, and took three putts for a six, but Edwards could not make it square, missing a five- foot putt. Both pulled to the rough on 30-yard fifth, but, Ouimet had treacherous down-hill putt for three, while Edwards missed easier one and was two down. Edwards Misses Chance. Edwards went 4 down at the 4%-yard seventh hole, after both had récovered from the rough. On the 40-yard eighth, Ouimet hooked to the rough and sliced his iron to the creek, but his fourth was dead for a half in 5. They turned with Ouimet 4 up after halving the ninth in par 4. Quimet had 37 out and Edwards 4L. Both hooked on the 460-yard tenth, Ouimet finding a pit short of the creek and‘ playing out short of the water. He pushed his third to a reen trap but was dead on his chip or a five, halving the hole. Both pulled their mid iron tee shots down the sloping green of 196 yards eleventh and poor ehip shots gave each four. Ouimet clised to within a foot of a pit on the 359-yard twelfth and hooked his second across the green, but Edwards ferused to take advan- take, over approaching, "ut won the hole four to five and was three down. Sdwards had the better drive on the 38-yard thirteenth, but nipped his approach a foot too short to clear an embankment. But Ouimet’s ap- proach was mediocre and they halved in four. Ouimet’s Approach Mediocre. The 390-yard fourteenth was halved in par four, and the 402-yard fifteenth the same after Ouimet made a splen- did recovery from a sliced drive and holed a 10-foot putt. QOuimet outdrove and out-brassicd his opponent on the 6538-yard six- teenth, but his 20-yard approach was pulled while Edwards with a 10-foot putt won 4 to 5 and Was two down. Edwards became 3 down on the 346- ward seventeenth by pulling his ap- proach to a trap and taking two putts for 5. Regaining the honor for the first time in five holes Ouimet pulled nis drive into a deep pit and the 428- yard eighteenth and was barely out on two.

The calling off of the finala in the Jurtor and BKovs’ tournsmente. at the Triple A, and thé team matches be- tween the Triple A and Country Club players, at Country Club, were among the casualties inflicted by the downpour It was announced at Triple A_ this morning that the funior and boys’ fina! would be played tomorrow if the weath- er permitted. It was also stated that the Triple A-Country Club matches would be held some day next week, the date to be agreed upon later. ¢ Yea, Bo joe nay! cried; But Gene was not to be denied.

They came pretty near picking the lock yesterday afternoon. They have discovered the combination and it is only a question of time until they come up for air. The Cards won an uphill battle from the Braves yesterday. It was pretty tough pulling for Packard, but he made the grade. It is reported that minor league scouts have been snooping around Sportsman's Park looking for ballplayers. Phil Ball and Fielder Jones would like to Know who the scouts are, so théy can join in the search. Rubbing It in. RANCH RICKEY seems to have it in for Barney Dreyfuss. Not sat- isfied with whipsawing Barney both ways from the middle in the Sisler case, he is now trying to unload his Mule on the president of the Pirates. ” a a President Rickey had a conference with President Bob Allen of Little Rock the other day. Rickey is going to leave no stone unturned to strengthen the Cards if he has to gs io Little Rock to turn it. The Cards are only six points out of second place and the Browns lack but four points of being out of the cellar. It's a close race, beys! * . i Bill James shut out the Red Sox with one hit, yesterday. The score was !1—) in favor of Ty Cobb. Three-bagger and a wild throw. Sufficient. The victory of the Browns over the Mackmen was 80 gratifying and withal so unexpected that the patron, at the conclusion of the game, rose up in his seat in the upper deck and demanded a speech. He didn’t nominate anybody in particular to make the pre-prandial talk, and as no one seemed to care to assume the burden. the crowd was compelled to go home to his dinner speechless. + @ - Uncertainties of Baseball. A VERY peculiar thing happened in the second game of the double- header between the Cards and Braves on Thursday. Henry Lee Meadows made three regular league base hits, one of them a double. Showing that any old thing is liable to happen in the grand old pastime. John K_ Tener visited the press box in Roston and sat in at the banquet provid- ed for the scribes by President Percy Haughton. 3y a singular coincidence John arrived just at the time the re- freshments were being served. Retween sandwiches John found time to say that he was greatly pleased with the showing being made by the Cards and Reds. We thank you, John. Cin- cinnati thanks you. Have another. + If Lee Magee joins the Browns he will be the highest priced cellar fielder in the American League. | | tle bending. This is considered important, for Da- vid's bunt fielding reminds one of @ giraffe’s attempt to graze off the ground. ‘ As a result, aided by some splendid | pitching by Dave, the Browns nosed out ' the Athletics yesterday in a 2~—1 contest in which the home club was always in front. Dave fanned five men in the first five innings and made the specta- tors uncomfortable in only one round, Be it known that, when Dave its right and the enemy is not bunting him inte the madhouse, he is a regular pitcher. In proof whereof we offer his 10 straight victories of last season. Dave has been drilled upwards and through, from the short ribs to the ~ cheekbone, by a 30-30 rifle bullet; but iron frame appears to have completely recovered from the shock. Hencef with tight support, look out for David, Sisler at His Best. Dave might have pitched fn vain but for the timely hitting of the Michigan Meteor, George Sisler. whose slashing doubles drove in both the runs scored the Browns. Bullet Joe Bush held the other Brown pitchers helpless in emergenciscs. There were not many of these, for Bush pitched a good game himself, mak- ing Sisler’s performance all the more creditable. 2 Sisler is now in second place in the American League batting order. He is hitting .342, according to unofficial’ av-~- erages, including yesterday's games. He has driven in 40 runs this season and has made 110 safeties. » i ’ George has been playing under the | ould handicap of a stone bruise. He sh be on the bench; but with him out, the Browns would drop into the third divi- sion, if there were one. This boy is one player whose notices have not gone astray. There is little doubt in the minds of baseball men that Sisler will eventually rival Ty Cobb for first hitting honors. Sothoron or Bob G shape, will Pachyderms today, weather permitting. Sothoron, who has been repo on the discontented list, has not left the club at any time, as was reported, but has been right on the job. tie was one of the players who figured in the once-over given our Browna by the independent minor leagues. It is stated that the threatened explosion over “tampering” is a mere flash tn the pan. The Case of Sothoron. According to a story told, Sothoron was offered good pay to join the Up- land (Md.) independent team. This is the club that Home Run Baker jotned when he quit the Athletics tn a huff. Not knowing if the Upland club was a responsible financial body. Sothoron, presuming Baker had an acquaintance with this outfit, asked him about it. Baker, was under new management and he di4 not know the officials. He consented, at Sothoron’s request, so the story is told, to wire the club's owners in Soth- oron's behalf. None of the parties to the deal have admitted anything. Ban Johnson been informed of the facts and dow less has investigated the Baker end of the deal, during the New York team's stay at Chicago. = The expected shakeup in the Browns’ batting order, yesterday, did not mate- rialize. the previous day, with Miller Shotton in left. Miller fanned two times at bat. “his first A New York Fans Prefer to Root for b Mathewson, Rather Than for M’Graw } | By Robert Edgren ‘Copyright, 1917. by Press Pub. Ce & Christy Mathewson is delivering the goods. There was a time when some thought Matty would be up against it with Cincinnati on his hands. But he stuck and said nothing, when his team seemed to be standing still. And now he comes to New York and trims the galloping Giants—the prospective cham- pions. Matty always had a head. It was his brain superiority that made him the greatest pitcher in the world for many years. Even when he was playing ball all the time he coachéd other players and showed marked ability as a handler of men. It was a fair guess that in time any team under his direction would show real playing ability. No one begrudges Matty whatever suc cesa comes hie way. He has worked hard for it. He has always been a ballplayer of the highest class—a gentie- man in @& game that has more than t's share of unsportamantike features. No umpire ever had to put Mathewson off the field. He never used language that had to be muffled for the benefit of the negy'e in the erand stand. As a pennant winner, if Matty carries hia team that far. one of these days, he will be the most popular manager that ever captured a flag New York feele inclined to root for Matty and Matty's men, even againat the home team.

At first he sidled up and peered etealthily, as one not certain of his re- ception; but as the young man’s frce elit up at sight him with something hetween recognition and -welcome, he stood more clearly fronting him and Fave him a husky greeting. “Fiow is it, Jim? Cheer up, boy. Years don't last long.’ “No, it won't be long,”’ agreed the son. “Dor't worry about me.” “Jim, I know you never pulled that job. Somebody's stuck the goods on you en’ sot you in queer.”’ The other looked up with slow inquiry. “What makes you think so?’’- he asked. “Think so!

Somebody's crooked this onto you, at’ I’m going to find out who did it.” “Right,”’ said Jim dejectedly; ‘‘some- body loaded me with the goods until it looked like a clear case; but who done it? That’s the puzzle.’ “What about Shaggy Summers?’ fathei ventured, speculatively For a moment it looked as if there would be an explosion of wrath, but Jim repressed himself with an obvious effort. “The only friend I've got,"’ he said quietly. “Guess again, or never tell me if you've guessed right.’’ ‘Maybe I did guess wrong,’ soothed the other, “but 1 should think you'd reckon your oid man one of your triends, Jim, though he ain’t no saint Anyhow, it’s your old man that’s going to find out who's put you here.”’ “Be waiting for me when I come out,” assented Jim, with more of warmth and life ‘han he had shown before, ‘‘and let me know who it is.

Snarler Kelly plugged doggedly along- fide the railroad track and meditated on ugliness. The Chicago. Stockyards had known and cleansed themselves of him, the freicht vards had feared him, and Clark street had conceded him “‘tough.’’ His meditations him back—far back ‘y.to those Ss when his reputation PL gurv’’ was jnst emerging trom the hoodlum state of youth to the \ deeper criminality of manhood. / He chosen a wife—a little woman who had married him because she had feared to vefuse him, and whom he ha4 married because of the delicious pleas- ure that fear gave him. But it's the boy, Jim, with whom this story is chiefly concerned. The Snarler had built up fond hopes of being mighty proud of Jim, for at an early age Jim showed himself an apt pupil in the les- sons of ugliness which his fond parent constantly instilled. One day, the time, in the estimation of the Snarler, being ripe for more defi- rite instruction in the training of his offspring, he had broached unto Jim the pulling of a pretty bit of villainy which was to nourish his own empty ex- chequer and start the young man upon his natural career. The boy listened until the man was through, his eves on the ground and his accustomed scowl] knitting his brow. Then he looked up. “That's thieving, ain't it?’’ he inquired. The Snarler was a little taken aback. “Sure, Mike,”’ he said uneasily. “Then count me out,’’ growled Jim. and started to walk away. “What's the matter?’ sneered his fa- ther. ‘I thought you called yourself a tough guy.”’ The boy turned. tough,”’ he said. “that's being crooked.” And he walked away. So the kid refused his career. At length there came a time when, tempted by a seemingly easy oppor- tunity into larger operation, cowardice overreached care, and the trail became too hot for the Snarler’s peace of mind. And 80, with simple cunning, he had pulled the trick that saved him and sent his son to jail. Certainly it was upon ugliness that the Snarler meditated as he plugged dog. gedly alongside the railroad track. Night drew in, and in the distance he saw against the dark sky the panting glare of an engine's exhaust. Ten minutes later he had swung Him- seif thankfully into an open box tar He struck a match to find his bearihgs and found himself staring into the banre’ of a big revolver, too dazed to do anv- thing but hold the match and glare fix- ediy at the peering face in front of him The other came to his relief with a short laugh. ‘That's all right, bo,”’ said he. “I thought maybe you was a shack. an Till put a shack’s light out before I'll hit the ties and starve in this des- ert.

Like @ flash his hand was in and out of his overalls pocket. The gunman’s bullet went high and passed through the open door, but the train- man’s shot took the other between the eyes, and he lurched forward—dead. With hardly a look at him the brake- man turned his gun upon the Snarier. “Turn around an’ put your hands be- hind your back,” he ordered, unlooping the rope from his lantern.
