CAPITOL BOARD FIRES SCOTT IN COAL SCANDAL Orders Grand Jury Inquiry Into Charge That Office- holders and Politicians Got * State Fuel, Pay for Which Never Reached the Treas- ury. SUIT FOR RECOVERY IF FACTS WARRANT Action Follows Post-Dispatch _ Disclosures That More | Coal Was Paid for Than ' Could Be Used—Sixty- { Three Tons for Water Heater. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 11.— The Board of Permanent Seat of Government, today dismissed Com- missioner John W. Scott from office and passed a resolution directing At- torney-General McAllister to pro- ceed with a grand jury investigation of the coal scandal, details of which were discovered and published ex- clusively by the Post-Dispatch be- ginning Friday. The resolution also directs that if McAllister finds the State has suf- fered any loss through the transac- tions, he shal) institute civil pro- ceedings to recover the value ofthe property lost. The board is composed of Gov. Gardener, Attorney-General McAl- lister, Auditor Hackmann, Treasurer Middliekamp and Secretary of State Sullivan. The Governor called the trieeting of the board today. Revelations by Post-Dispatch. The revelations by the Post-Dis- patch included the following: ~«» 1. That John W. Seott, Com- missioner of Permanent Seat of Government, sold State coal to officials and individuals and the Bitate received no pay for it. 2. That although the State had a contract to buy lump coal at $2.90 a ton from the West Virginia Coal Co., Scott bought lump coal from John Riner, a local coal dealer and friend of Scott, at $5 a ton, which aggregated more than $8000. 3. That Riners bills to the Supreme Court for hard coal had been held up by Chief Jus- tice Graves on the ground that they listed more coal than the State had received. According to bills paid and presented by ..Rimer, a small water heater in the Supreme Court building . burned 63 tons of hard coal last . winter. ' 4. That 120 gallons of costly dis- infectant and other supplies bought from the Germo Manufacturing Co. by Scott for the State had been found in the basement of a local hotel and thrown into the back yard by the roprietor of the hotel when Scott ailed to remove it. Bought More Than Could Be Used. s 6. That wagons from Riner’s coal yard were seen frequently hauling coal out of State cars to Riner’s yard and that the State bought 1500 more tons of coal during the last heating season than could possibly have been used in the State heating plant, if the temperature had remained at zero from Oct. 1, 1916, to June 1, 1917. _ 6. That former State Auditor John P. Gordon and his son, Morris G Gordon, State Supervisor of Building and Loan, received a car of coal ordered by Scott and for which the State paid $116, on a bill certified to as correct by Scott. Morris Gordon said he paid Scott $113.10 for the “coal. No money ever was paid into the treasury for the coal. 7. That, following the first ex- posure by the Post-Dispatch pub- panied last Friday, Scott went to St. uls and made an effort to have the West Virginia Coal Co. make al- tered invoices for two cars of coal, afd that his request was refused. Scott's Bond Is $10,000. Before going to the conference, Attorney-General McAllister called on the Secretary of State for a copy of Scott's bond. It is for $10,000, and Ja signed by D. C. McClung, Jos. A. Huegel, hotel man; George J. Vaughan, merchant; Thomas Kierns, plumber; R. L. Berry, County Re- order, and William Koecher, a sa- loon keeper. , ° Witnesses. who were called before MeAllister in the coal inquiry testi- fied that Koecher got five tons of coa!] aay a State car.

NO LOSS OF LIFE Tank Steamer, Which Survived Fight, Sends Brief Ac- count of Encounter. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—-Ameri- can destroyers are believed to have sunk six hostile submarines off the coast of France, Sept. 5, while con- | Voying a fleet of merchantmen from the United States. Two of the mer- chant ships were lost, it is reported, without loss of life. Meager reports to the Navy De- partment today give a brief account of the fight, transmitted from the American tank steamer Westwego, one of the ships which survived the attack. The names of the two ships sunk were not included in the dis- patch. It is not even known whether they were American ships. The Navy Department has cabled for addi- tional information. “The Navy Department has re- ceived a report from Paris which states that the steamer Westwego reports on Sept. 8, that, while cruis- ing with several other ships, was at- tacked by a massed force of six submarines off the coust of France on Sept. 5. The result of this attack being that two of the steamers at- tacked were sunk and probably all of the submarines were lost.’’ While the statement does not act- ually state that American destroyers were convoying the ships, that is be- lieved to be the fact. It was announced recently that a policy of convoying fleets of mer- chant ships across the Atlantic had been adopted, and since the mer- chant craft which were the object of the sumbarine’s attack were bound for Europe, it is regarded as more than probable that’ American war- ships convoyed them. American warships have all been equipped with depth bombs for fight- ing submarines. This weapon has proved very deadly. The Westwego, an oil tank steam- er, was built in Germany in 1914, for Rumanian account, under the name of the Steaua Romana. Later her registry was changed to Ameri- can. The vessel was of 3,059 tons net and she carried a crew of 42 mon. Latest reports show she was in an American port Aug. 8, and later sailed on a trans-Atlantic voy- age commanded by Capt. Mulcoy. WIFE KILLS DENTIST IN OFFICE and Is Arrested. CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Dr. George EKisenbrand, a dentist, was shot and killed by his wife in his office here today. “I’m sorry I killed him; T loved him so,” she sobbed when tenants of nearby offices rushed in. “He threatened to break up our home.

MESSENGER Foreign Office Issues Statement About Forwarding Communica- tions From Buenos Aires. CITES REQUEST BY U. S. Says It Helped American Ambas- sador Get Word Through to Turkish Points. LONDON, Sept. 11.—The Swedish foreign Office, according to a dis- |} patch from Copenhagen to the Ex- change Telegraph Co., has ‘ssued the following statement regarding the Swedish-Argentinian revelations: “The Swedish Foreign Office has not received any account regarding the transmission of the telegrams mentioned in the statements of the Government of the United States and the Swedish Government, therefore is unable at present to determine what its position should be on the ques- tion opened up by these statements. “It is, however, accurate to say that just after the world war broke out, the Swedish Foreign Minister ex- pressed the opinion that he ought to transmit a German telegram concern- ing the civil population of Ki30- Chow (the former German fortress in the Chinese peninsula of Shan- tung). “Statements to the were made to the representatives of both belligerent groups without there being any question of Sweden taking over representation interests. “As regards the United States in particular, ister here year, (in Stockholm) in certain special cases, de- manded and obtained permission to} transmit letters to and from Turkey | and at a time when Turkey was not in a state of war with America and when Sweden had not yet taken over the protection of American interests. Granted British Request. “In the summer of 1915, the wish was expressed from the British side that the transmission of ica should cease. No formal mand was made, but the Foreign Minister acceded to the wish. The Sweaish Minister, who was cognizant of all the negotiations, was of the opinion that this was no bar to the! continued transmission of telegrams to neutral states, other than the United States, and therefore, to Ar- gentina. Since then, Sweden has coni- tinued to be the intermediary for communications and the Argentine. “This telegram, mentioned American statement, was written in code and in transmitting it the Swedish Minister was, for that reason, unable to decipher it. Whether its contents were as reported is a point which the first duty of the Swedish Government must be to confirm, and its next action must be to get an ex- planation from Germany. Sweden will also take measures to prevent any repetition of the incident. “No application as to the cessation of the transmission of telegrams from’ Germany to the Argentine Re- public has yet been made, either by the British or American CGovern- ments. , “The whole affair has only become known to the public through tho press, but, in spite of this, the wishes expressed by the interested parties would immediately have been ac- ceded to.”’ British Statement Given Out. The following statement fram an authoritative source was made to the Associated Press with reference to the revelation concerning Sweden: “There is no need for any action on the part of the allies regarding the Swedish exposures, nor is any action, joint er otherwise, contem- plated. The facts as narrated*speak for themselves. “This is not a case of any quarre!] on the part of the allies with the Swedish people, but of . individual action by individual officials, whica it is confidently believed, wili be strongly resented by the Swedish people. There can be wo doubt that Sweden will take the earliest op- portunity to explain her position and this, it is hoped, will clear the air and even lead to a better understand- ing. Small Group Might Approve. “It is well known that there is a small militarist group in Sweden which might possibly approve of such behavior as has now come to light, but it is confidently expected that the bulk of the Swedish people will share the view of the world at large regarding the barbarous in- trigues of Germany. Teiegrams from Buenos Aires show that the dis- closures have caused great excite- ment and, in the view of the leading politicians, serious action by the Ar- gentine Government will become necessary.’ HUTS FOR U, S, TROOPS ORDERED _ $200,000 Order te House Men in France Ia Placed, BERNE, Sept. 11.—The American military authorities in France have placed, through the Swiss Contracting Association. an order for 1,900,000 france ($200,000) worth of wocden huts to house troops. ‘ a in the same effect! of any Power's | the United States Min-| has this) telegrams | between Germany and North Amer- | de- | between Germany| - ~~ So INSTRUCTION IK FLYING STARTED AT SCOTT FIELD Start of First Flight Is Made at 8:55 O’Clock, and Others Follow. TEXAS MAN FIRST TAKEN UP Height of 4000 Feet Is Attained, While Other Cadets Twist Neck Enviously. ——— A page of photographs illus- trating the inauguration of fly- ing at the Belleville Training Camp will be found in today’s Vost-Dispatch Daily Magazine. Active training of student aviators started this morining at Scott Field, the new United States Army avia- tion school 6 miles northeast of Belleville. J. Houston Maupin of Gainsville, Tex., was the first man selected from the nearly 100 cadets now at the |} camp, for instruction in actual flight. He was taken up at 8:55 a. m. by T. C. Jones of Shreveport, 1 civilian instructor. Jones previous flight alone, of one machine, Couch, the first flight from the new filed yesterday, was “warming up” an- other. After this, the two machines were frequently in the air at the same time. me Jones took Harold Cohen of Prov- idence, R. l., as his second pupil, and Couch took C. J. Cleary of Rox- | bury, Mass. He went to a height of 409 feet with Cleary, and the envi- | ous cadets on the ground remarked | that the instructors was “giving Cleary the works,” as the lofty ma- chine executed spirals and figure | eights. eS McAteer of Fort Smith, was Jones’ a Hill, while W illiam H.

Flying was begun yesterday, not because conditions for it were ideal, or were anything like the conditions | desired, but | because no one wishea to lose a day from the work ahead. | The big windbags over the han :- ‘ars, which look like pillow slips with one end narrowed, or like the trunks of mastodonic white elephants, were bulging with a cold wind from north which had a 30-mile velocity. The open field, a minile long and more than a half mile wide, east of the buildings, was still soft from last I ri- day night’s rain. And the four ma- chines which had been set up in the hangars \.ere not of the type with which the a€irmen would have pre ferred to begin. Machine New to Commander. But at 11 o'clock a squad of en- listed men rolled out the first of the machines from the farthest north of the 12 hangars, and the line of cadets greeted it with a cheer. The 9$0-horsepower biplane was a strong contrast to the fragile frames and the rickety “red devils” which used to be seen in exhibition flying a few years ago. Its varnished wings had a leathery firmness, and its high radiator gave it the look of a formid- eble piece of machinery. On both wings, above and below, appeared the insignia of the United States army aviation service. This is a big white star within a blue circle, with a red circle inside the star. On the tail of the machine were broad stripes of red, white and blue, in the style of the French tricolor. Maj. George E. A. Reinburg, com- to make the first flight.

The other army flyers were also unaccustomed to this appliance, but Willlam H.

Couch stepped within the cavity | which incloses the rear seat, and Maj. C. K. Rhinehardt took the front seat, to go along only so far as the trip was on the ground. The enlisted men took turns at whirling the great walnut propeller, exchang- ing shouts of “Open!” and “Close!” with the flyer. until the propeller got going. driving grass and dust in the cadets’ eyes and scattering hats. The run to the south end of the field, along a roadway, was made “with some help from the enlisted men, who ran along and boosted at the rough places. When the turn eastward into the field was made the small wheels several times sank in the soft earth, but the hoisting crew effected a rescue in each case, and the southeast _corner of the field, — i aod Continued on Page z eee SWAGGER STICKS : FOR THEIR MEN, CANES F ORC OF!

An order just issued provides: “Officers will be required to wear service hats with chin straps down: instead of caps, and will wear blouses when leaving the reservation. They will carry either bamboo riding crops or light canes. All enlisted men will be encouraged to carry swagger sticks.” The same order states all enlisted men will wear jumpers of their over- alls on the outside, covering the bibs and suspenders. Fifteen thousand uniforms are coming, so the overall order applies only during working hours. With Capt. John C. H.

F. Welle Furnishes Statement Required to Be Ready to Send Away This Month. Including certifications to be made this evening to the Adjutant-Generul at Jefferson City by the District Ap- peals Board, 2632 men in St. Louis are ready for service in the nationel army, or 63 per cent of the city’s quota of 4377. Under the instruc- tions of Gen. McCord, the 28 dis- tricts in St. Louis are required to have 60 per cent of their allotments ready by Sept. 13 for movement to the cantonment on Sept. 19, instead of 40 per cent, as originally specified. Thus St. Louis has already exceed- ed its Sept. 13 quota by 13 per cent (not including the five per cnet sent away last week), but the additional] men probably will be used to make up deficiencies in some of the coun- try districts of the State which have been backward in their draft exami- nations. Figures given out by the Diatrict Board today show that only two St. Louis wards have failed to have men certified to the Adjutant-General. the Thirteenth and Nineteenth. Three wards—the Fifteenth, Eight- eenth and Twenty-third wards, have certified more than their quotas. Certifications by Wards. The following are the certifications by wards and the percentage of the quota ready for service: Percentage Ward. Certified. 2 ts a | oot dw ¢ rm wrt ry tr Oo oo) .

Both have certified large numbers of registrants to the Dis- trict Board, but under the law they must be held up ten days to permit the filing of appeals before being forwarded as ready for service. The 50 per cent quota which be- gins to depart on the nineteenth, will go at ther ateof five per cent a day until the entire allotment is dispatched. In most districts only 40 per cent will be sent during that period, but St. Louis will send 10 per cent extra to make up for defi- ciencies in the out-in-the-State dis- tricts. Selden P. Spencer, chairman of the District Board, returned today after an absence of a week. It is planned to dispose of from 60 to 70 appeals this afternoon and to rush the work disposing of claims throughout the week. According to word received from Washington, negro troops are to be organized into sepaarte units as is done in the regular army, and as far as possible will be trained in the states in which they were drafted.

NEVADA, Mo., Sept. 11.—Extend- ed order drill will be added to the training sch.dule of the Fifth Mis- souri Infantry this week. The regi- ment has now, reached in its close order work that decree of profici- iency that is deemed absolutely necessary in training soldiers before they are taught combat formations and methods of advancing to at- tack. Col. Leroy K. Robbins has been watching the clore order drills very closely since the regiment arrived at the mobilization camp and he has come to the conclusion that another day or two of these drills will put all companies in shape for the more important field work. Extended order drills are conduct- ed by whistle and arm signals to the battalion, company or platoon com- manders. The captains give their signals so that they can be seen by the lieutenants in comand of the platoons and the platoon command- ers in turn signal to the corporals in charge of squads. Because of the terrific din of modern battle the squad leaders are the only men who shout any commands on the firing line. At a meeting of the Fifth Regi- ment last night an officers’ athletic association was organized and plans completed for the immediate organ- ization of baseball and football teams. A board of governors was ap- pointed to take charge of the athletic activities of the officers. Capt. Rhoderick ‘W. Rombauer of D. Company, was elected to repre- sent the First Battalion, Second Lieutent Harry Meyers, the Second Battalion, Capt. J. F. Oberwinder, the Third Battalion, Capt. Goewey, the supply company and headquart- ers company and First Lieutenant Harry F. Pierce, the gun company and sanitary detachment. Capt. Oberwinder is chairman pro tem of the board, Capt. Rombauer treasur- er and Lieut. Meyers secretary. Arrangements are under way for organization of an _ inter-company baseball league under the jurisdic- tion of Chaplain Reader. The teams of this organization will be composed entirely of enlisted men. Chaplain Reader also intends to encourage the organization of football, basket ball and track teams among the compa- nies. A new order from brigade head- quarters sets reveille at 5:40 in the morning and moves up retreat to 6:30 in the evening. Heretofore reveille has sounded at 5:20 a. m. and retreat at 7:30 p. m. The extremely cool weather of the last two days has made the soldiers \feely the need for woolen clothing. older regiments are fairly well equipped in this respect, but the néw Fifth and Sixth have received only their cotton uniforms. Requisi- tions have been rushed forward by both organizations, however, for woolen uniforms and tent stoves, and it:is believed that they will be sup- plied so00n. Fifth has purchased enough small wood stoves to' issue one to each tent. The purchase was made from the company fund and the stoves arrived yesterday from St. Louis. SEIZED RECORDS OF GERMAN PAPER ARE BEING EXAMINED Philadelphia Tageblatt Issues -as Usual This Morning, Despite Federal Raid Yesterday. PHILAELPHIA, Sept, 11.—Govern- ment agents who participated in the raid on the Philadelphia Tageblatt, a German morning newspaper, here yesterday, are occupied today in ex- amining the large amount of corres- pondence, newspaper files and other papers taken from the place. Dr. Martin Darkow, managing editor, and Herman Lemke, Lusiness man- ager of the Tageblatt, arrested last night on charges of violating the es- pionage act, are at liberty on bond. The Tageblatt was issued as usual today. Federal agents say the Tageblatt has been persistently attacking the Government's war policy and the se- lective draft act. It is also charged that the paper printed instructions as to how persons can avoid the post- al regulations in sending mail to Ger- many. According to these instruc- tions, the Federa)] agents said, letters could be sent to the Deutscher Hilf- sverein in care of H. Isselhurst, Stockholm, Sweden, where they will be forwarded, to Germany. Barkow and Lemke deny that they had any intention of violating the laws of the United States. Lemke says he has been a citizen of the United States for 30 years. 2 FAMILIES FIND HOMES ROBBED Return After Absences and Miss Furs and prgieer 'Two West End famfiies who re- turned yesterday after absences from home found their residences had been robbed.

He said he was told that in this will Mrs. King left the in- come from $250,000 to her mother, Mrs. Robinson, as long as she lived, and willed the bulk of her estate in fee simple to her sister, Mrs. Melvin. Dr. Burke expressed regret that | his confidential report on Mrs. King’s mental condition had -been made public. ! “Justice Ingraham never appointed | me to do anything in connection with Mrs. King,” he said. “She was a patient of mine and I was asked by her. closest relatives, who were also my patients, to give their attor- ney my opinion of -her condition ahis I .did.

LOUIS Citizen’s Committee Proposes Change in Government When Mayor Refuses to Resign. | | | PLAN ONCE DEFEATED Civic Leaders Believe It Will Car- ry Now, Would Not Be Ef- fective Till 1919. Following the arrest of Mayor Fred W. Mollman of East St. Louis on an indictment charging malfeas- ance in office, and the Mayor’s steadfast refusal to resign his office pending trial, as had been requested by the grand jury and the Pastors’ Alliance, The Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred yesterday afternoon unanimously adopted a resolution advocating a commission form of government for East St. Louis. The Citizens’ Committee of One IIundred was organized after the July race riots to take a hand in the municipal government... It was responsible for the overthrow of the old police regime and has raised funds with which to double the per- sonnel of the Police Department. At the meeting of the Citizens’ Committee a synopsis of the law pro- viding for commission form of gov- ernment was read by Maurice V. Joyce. The resolution provided that the chairman, Clarence E. Pope, ap- point a committee of three to confer | from the) the Winstanley Improvement associations. Rotary Club and Park ed to co-operate. Seven Features of Plan. Th are seven features in the pr@posed form of government that are departures from the present al- dermanic system, and which are held out as great improvements. They are: All legislative and administrative affairs are in the hands of five com- missioners, each of whom heads a department, and who is directly re- sponsible for it. Each would be compelled to spend at least six hours a day attending to his duties. Franchises to public service cor- _porations may be granted only by a direct vote of the people, a majority \being necessary to carry the pro- posal. Any or all of the commissioners |of the citizens, after petitions signed by as many voters as make up 55 /per cent of the total vote cast at the preceding municipal election have| | been filed against the objectionable officials. A report showing all receipts and expenditures of revenue must be printed at the end of each month in pamphlet form, and such pamphlets Shall be supplied to all newspapers and citizens who desire them. An audit also shall be made at the end | of each year by a certified account- | ant, and the results made public. | In case the commissioners fai] to | enact legislation desired by their con- | stituents, such legislation may be in- | stituted by’a petition bearing the names of 26 per cent of the voters, and may thereafter be passed by a vote of the people, whereupon it be. | comes law. | City employes who work for can- didates at elections, or who contrib- ute to their campaign funds are guil- ty of misdemeanor, and may be fined | 4 or tmprisoned. City employes shall not accept any | favors from public service corpora- | tions, except that policemen and fire- | men may accept transportation. The latter provision would affect | many of the present city officials and | employes, who accept and use fr oe | passes from the,street car company, This custom has been in effect many years, and the passbooks have | been openly distributed at meetings | of the City Council by a representa- tive of the company who attends a)] Council meetings. No Change Till 1919. Ifthe voters shoula decide to adopt the commission form, it could not take effect until May,'1919, as the present administration holds of- fice until then. The term of com- missioners, undef the proposed plan, is four years. The law provides that each shall make a sworn public statement of his campaign expenses. To call an election on the adoption of the change of government, it is necessary to obtain the signatures of 25 per cent of the registered voters on @ petition, and it will be the work of the committees from the various civic bodies to circulate the peti- tions. Members of the Committee of One Hundred expressed a desire that a special election on the froposed change be held before the aldermanic election in April of next year, as it | is expected that the Mollman admin- | istration will oppose the proposal, | and it was pointed out that it could bring greater influence to bear at the aldermanic election than in a contest where the proposal was the sole thing to be voted on. , Such an election was held five years ago, but the proposition lost, virtually all the politicians of both parties combining to oppose it. Civic leaders believe that the voters are now ready to change the form of government. Another meeting of the One Hundred Committee will be held Monday afternoon.

Issuance and sale of this stock has been approved by the Missouri Public Service Commission. It is not a speculation, but ‘a safe income producer. We deal directly with our customers, and not through any brokers. The proceeds of this issue will be applied upon more than $1,500,000 invested by the company, since our last stock issue, in income-producing additions to our physical property—additions made necessary by the steady increase of demand for Union Electric service. Among these plant additions are: Increased capacity at the Ashley Street Station, $600,000; new transmission and distribution lines, $750,000; new steam heating plant, Ninth and St. Charles Streets, $150,000; new sub-station, South Broadway, $200,000.

For each of the last 10 years the Com- pany’s net earnings, applicabletodividends, after paying all bond interest, have been three to five times the $140,000 needed to pay 7% on its $1,000,000 of preferred stock outstanding and on the $1,000,000 now offered for sale. We have no other pre- ferred stock. Owing to the Company’s policy of “Service at its fair cost and not a penny more’’, the busi- ness is rapidly and healthfully growing. THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES ARE NOT “WATERED” AND UNDER STATE REGULATION NEVER CAN .BE. This 7% preferred has therefore virtually the security of a good bond, with the higher earning power of a good stock.

MILKING METHODS SHOWN Several Other Reels of Film and 15 Vaudeville Numbers on Program. The fairy photoplay “Truth,” with accompanying picture and vaude- ville program, which was given its first presentation at the Victoria Theater last night, for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, is essentially a pro- duction for children. It is also a production for grownups who have the capacity to enjoy prettiness,, hap- piness and young folk at play. That is the atmosphere which predom- inates in the performance. There are are two hours of delightful enter- tainment which leave an impression of cheerfulness. The interest of a rather small first night audience centered largely in the photoplay, in the preparation of which many of those present had participated, so that they had the novel experience of being in the dual role of audience and actors. There was an air of suppressed ex- citement among the children and their parents and friends in the the- ater and there also were audible “Ohs” and quick exclamations when the youngsters recognized themselves or playmates running and dancing and smiling out from the film so life- like that it seemed they were about to speak and that in a moment their laughing would be heard. Fifteen Vaudeville Numbers. The picture has the unexcelled beauty of Forest Park for a setting, the picturesque touch is lent by hun- dreds of varying costumes, the pho- tography is as near perfection as has been attained in motion picture work and the story told is' a charming one. All of the actors in the photo- play are children or young persons who have contributed their services in entertainments for the Post-Dis- patch milk and ice fund during the present season. Aside from the photoplay, two other reels of pictures are shown, and there is a vaudeville perform- ance of about 15 numbers, with a the entertainment at each preesenta- tion of the pictures. - At the beginning of the show, a film which already has been seen in a considerable number of the the- aters of the city is put on. It gives suggestions of the work which is be- ing carried o nthrough the Post-Dis- patch Pure Milk nd Free Ice Fund. It shows the processes of preparing pure milk nd pure ice. Methods of Milking Shown. There are droves of kind-faced cows which please the children and would have appealed especially to the late and lamented William Baxter. They are shown in the fields and in their sanitary barns. There is a laughable contrast between the old way of milking, in the course of which the cow kicks the bucket, and the modern way, in which a machine does all the work. Many other in- teresting interior views of dairies and ice plants are shown in this film, which also gives glimpses of some of the little ones who are helped toward health through the milk and ice fund, and of fund work- ers at their rehearsals for entertain- ments to aid the babies. By a change in the order of the program the vaudeville numbers were presented following the milk and ice film last night, to permit those who took part in it to leave the back of the stage and break up into parties to watch the remaining pictures at their ease. If last night’s vaudeville show may be accepted as a criterion, this part of the entertainment alone is well worth the price of admission. There were numbers which easily would have won applause on the profes- sional stage and there was none which was not excellently done. For the Saturday matinee a special all-star performance is being arrang- ed in which the numbers most favor- ably received during the week will be repeated. Dancer Pictured in Film. The second picture shown was made at the same time the scenes for “Truth were photographed, and is of individual actors. It is 20 minutes of a quick succession of dancers daintly stepping or whirling across the screen, with the swaying of windblown trees and shrubbery and the flutter of frocks adding to the sense of rythm.

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Sept. 11.—The most notablo development on the part of the front during the last few days is the in- creasing use of gas shells by the enemy in retaliation for the frequent projection of gas cylinders into the German lines. The gas projectors have been one of the big mechanical | successes of the campaign. Almost every prisoner who is brought fn tells Lens. Men captured two days ago state that last week a gas shell exploded in the cellar where they lay asleep. Before they could get their masks on the gas had overcome them. Another company of the same regiment had 17 casualties from gas in one day, in wich seven died before their removal to the hospitals. The failure of Ger- meny to obtain sufficient supplies of rubber probably is a contributing cause of the gas fatalities. wert . .

GOVERNOR ASKED TO URGE EXEMPTION OF FARMERS Board of Agriculture Members Say Enforced Service in Army Will Reduce Crop Acreage. P. P. Lewis, president of the State Board of Agriculture, and member of an Exemption Board in St. Louis County, and Jewel: Mayes, secretary of the Agriculture Board, have ad- dressed a letter to Gov. Gardner ask- ing that the executive take up with l’rovost-Marshal Crowder the ques- tion of temporarily exempting farm- ers subject to the draft. The letter declares that many young farmers are being placed in the national army and that as a re- sult it will be difficult to plow an in- creased acreage this fall as has been urged by Food Administrator Hoover. Lewis suggests that all the Gov- ernors in the wheat and corn belt unite in their plea to the authorities at Washington. SCHOTT IS A POOR MARKSMAN, MISSES HIS WIFE AND HIMSELF Youth Fires at Woman’s Head When She Refuses to Return to His Home. The poor marksmanship of Leo Schott, 20 years old, of 4616 Marga- retta avenue,’ prevented a tragedy last night at the home of his broth- er-in-law, Robert Livingston, 4727A McMillan avenue. Schott and Miss Dorothy Livings- ton, 19 years old, were married last April. She left him six weeks ago and Schott since had been trying to get her to return to him. At 8 p. m. he called at the Liv- ingston home and demanded an in- terview with his wifx She met him in the dining room. “You are not going to get away with anything,” he said, as he drew arevolver. ‘We are both going this minute.’”’ Schott fired at his wife’s head, but missed. She dropped to her hands and knees and crawled beneath a table. Then he fired at his own head and missed again. Mrs. Schott’s brother ran from another room and took the revolver from Scott.

This helps supply the needed oxygen to the blood—for purifying the blood and improving circulation and assimi- lation. Another part of the treat- ment is the taking ofsa small dose of oi] of korein after each meal and be- fore retiring at night; also in follow- ing the simple directions that come with the box. , , It is a pleasant, simple system of fat reduction purposed to improve the figure, add to vivacity wal general efficiency and to prolong life. Oil of korein comes in capsules, very easy and pleasant to take. Get it at the | druggists and begin its use today. Or obtain a free testing packet (whict will come to you in a plain envelope) by writing to Korein Company, 287A East 28th St., Arcade, New York, N.Y. Even a few days’ use is likely to show surprising results—a pleasing reduction in weight. If you wish to reduce ten to sixty pounds, if you want buoyant health in place of un- sightly and unhealthy fat, if you want to surprise friends with your im- proved appearance, looking younger and more attractive, try this treat- ment.

St. Louis Golfers Compete for Western Title Today Will Kidd of Algonquin, Runner- up in “Open” Event Last Year, Has Good Chance to Win at Chicago. 11.—Five 122 CHICAGO, Sept. St. Louisans are among the who have filed entries for the Western open golf championship tournament, which is scheduled to be played over the course of the Westmoreland Golf Club Thursday and Friday, at 72 holes medal play. Among the Mound City entries is Willie Kidd of Algonquin, who in 1914 was runner-up to James M. Barnes of Philadelphia, then the champion. The other St. Louis en- tries are John Caldwell, Midland Val- Jey; John Meehan, Ridgedale; Don- ald Harrison, Triple A, and R. WG. Barnhardadt,- professional at the Jop- lin (Mo.) Country Club. Nearly all ‘the starters, with the ex- ception of Walter Hagen, present champion, and James Barnes, former champion, were here yesterday and tried out the course. The latter two arrived this morning. The best score reported yesterday was made by Em- met French of York, Pa., who had 73, two under par.. The most remark- able shot of yesterday's practice round was turned in by George Turn- bull of Midlothian, who lacked only two inches of scoring a one on the 320-yard tenth hole. The entry fees for the tournament will be turned over to the Red Cross These abount to $610, bringing the totalicontribution of the Western Golf Association to the Red Cross up to about $2000.

AN JOHNSON’S word is given that the High Cost of Things will not extend to this year’s world’s series—at least in so far as the American League is concerned. Johnson told the Post-Dispatch, yesterday, that ‘‘our’’ league—he should have said ‘‘my’’ league—will stand by the agreement reached at the last meeting. This specified a maximum of $1.59 for each grand stand seat, exclusive of boxes, which will cost $5. It had) been feared, in view of advancing | rrice conditions and the unfavorable | season generally, that this new rule would be suspended under stress of circumstances. The Czar of baseball declares that the American League will not only hold to ita bargain, but will endeavor to have the Na- tional League make it unani- mous, when the commission as- sembles to take up the matter of the world’s serics. The ballplayer will not welcome this news. It means, if the N. L. follows suit, that the world’s series bonus will be cut almost in half; and that the winner's “bit” will shrivel from $4000 to $2000. Even this re- ward, however, would seem to be ample. . 7 . Suited, but Not Satisfied . HIL BALL, in a sense, Is the best suited magnate In baseball to- day. Starting early in his career with a suit filed by Cincinnati in the matter of Player Marsans, Ball has Leen forced into successive legal com- plications such as the suit against Organized Baseball, the $900,000 suit of Baltimore against the O. B., the suit against Branch Rickey and'| now the players suit—the first of the kind in the history of baseball, and, no dombt, the last. And Ball is the least mercenary magnate of all St. Louis owners past or present, unless we except the or- iginators of the Cardinal Idea, - e * Future of Suit Filers. he other times one would have said that Derril!l Pratt and John- ny Lavan had signed their own pdss- ports, giving them exit from the pro- fession that gave them a financial start in life. Baseball has ever shunned the courts. It seems to tacitly put the “R’—for Ban or blacklist—on all who resort to it. Heretofore no player has dared to bring action against a magnate for derogatory statements made about him, for fear of the dreaded bogey, the BLACKLIST. This fear-inspiring bugaboo, past history seems to show, is just a mere myth. Imstances in which basebal! players have been forced out of the game by mutual major league agree- ment either nexer existed or were so far hack in the dark ages of the game as to have been forgotten. Nevertheless, the latent power to force a “squeeze,” when the need develops, ig known to exist, and has deterred many a headstrong player from rash steps. = - a or six years ago a sult such as Lavan and Pratt have inat- gurated would undoubtedly have meant the shunting of these players out of the American League “for the of the game.” They might even ve been passed along into the mi- + — although this is more doubt- ul. Under present conditions, however, the need of good players is so imme- diate that it is hardly “probtble that the aggrieved players will be released from the American League. In the first place, they form excel- lent trading material, and in the second, the National League might grab them, in which event the Car- dinals would probably be the first to sign them—a result svhich would make Phil Ball smile like the Kaiser did after the battle of the Marne. That these players can continue with the Browns next year, is not be- lieved by those who know the prin- cipals to both sides of the controver- sy. 7 . Theatrical Stuff. HE crafty hand of the advance agent is to be seen in the offer 6f Harry Frazee of the Boston-Amer- | ican League club, who yesterday promised his men $25,000 if they won the American League flag. Considering the fact that Bos- ton is seven games behind and hag only 21 more games to play, Mr. Frazee was perfectly in- trenched in making his proposal. There is just as much chance that he will have to give up the $25,090 as that the allies will give up Bel- gium.. It's just some of the stuff they pull in the theatrical game of which Mr. Frazee is a graduate. . - & The Drewes-Josties Story. HE idealists of the Municipal Athletic Association are not sat- isfied that Ted Drewes and Fred Josties have been indorsed by the council, as eligible to represent St. Louis in this year’s National Munici- pal Federation championships. It is held that the intent of the National Organization has been violated by using players not “entirely dependent on municipal ' eourts for their opportunity to play”—the true test of eligibility. The. fact that Drewes and Josties “came up” through municipal oppor- tunities and won fheir first honors on municipal courts seems not to weigh with the critics of this pair. It is held that since they are mem- bers of the Triple A and represent the club in many tournaments, they ought to resign ag representatives of the M. A. A. This matter is now up to the conr sciences of Drewes and Josties. If they wish to represent the city they may do so. They probably feel that if the National Federation had wanted te make a rule barring them, it was within ita power to do se. There ex- ists no rule, only a recommendation. The nice thing to do would be to resign from representing the city and relieve the strain all around. In the meantime, the same iasue will come ep when Jimmy Manion, Clarence Wolff, et al, want to repre- sent St. Leuis in the National Fed- eration golf championship. Place of meet. | Glenview | logical ‘showed utter contempt for that much- MANION PLAYS PEP IN SECOND ROUND OF CITY TOURNEY Municipal Champion in Recent Event, Elimimated Rival After Great Uphill Fight. OTHER GOOD MATCHES Lynch Opposes Clarence Wolff, While Limberg Tacklés Frank Pep Today. Due to chance, the attractive side of today’s second round pairings in the city champlonship golf tourna- ment over the public course in For- est Park is a replica of the recent Municipal Golf League event held over the same course. John,Pep undoubtedly remembers Jimmy Manion’s desperate rush from impending defeat to a victory on the twentieth hole; and John Pep re- members the champion’s 135-yard holed mashie shot off of 17 tee. One month has not erased from Frank Lynch's golf escutcheon the stigma of a five-down defeat at the hands of Clarence Wolff, because that defeat dethroned Lynch as municipal cham- pion. Eddie Limberg will today at- tempt to avenge a decisive trimming at the hands of Frank Pep, the younger of the militant brothers. Naturally it may -be seen that to- day's play carries with it something more than the cold pairings of the match play card. These matches are simply duplicated, but today their attractiveness is enhanced by the ele- ment of personal rivalry. Personal Rivalry Enters. Outside of this trio of contests, any wise soothsayer might g0 through the pairings and name the third round shooters. M. J. Crichton may have difficulty with Louis Ham- el, but Crichton is exploiting a splen- did game at present and is figured to be in the play as the brackets grow scarcer. Yesterday's feature match was that between Elsworth Smith of Triple A, present interscholastic champion, and Frank Donovan, the caddy king. Smith won 4 and 3, much to the sur- prise of those who dared to presage a result. Donovan's fault was his put- ting, which evidently has threaten- ed disaster for him more than one time. The players were even at the turn, with Donovan having the bet- ter of the long play. Between 10 and 16 however, he took three putts on several greens, and Smith came home in a gallop. Incidentelly, it might be well to consider the victor as @&| title aspirant. In his two rounds. medal and first match play, | he has averaged 85. Match play, | though, is really his forte. Togo Hamamato was eliminated as a @hampionship possibility yesterday afternoon, and Togo thereafter maligned club known as a putter. Tcgo had his opponent, Richard Bock- enkamp, 1 down on the thirteenth green after an uphill battle. He had been three down at six, only to take the next three holes and square mat- ters at the turn. It Wag on green 14 that Togo’s putter came into dis- favor. He missed an 18-inch shot for the hole and on the next two similar scenes were enacted. He did play well making the course in 87 strokes which is his best effort so far. Jap Player Is Eliminated. The premier medal play of the day 48 usual is attributed to James Man- ion, State champion, who defeated T. J. Moss of the Ridgedale Club, 8 up anc 7.

HUGGINS’ OUTFIT GAINS Victory Yesterday Put (Knot- Holers Only Two J.aps Be- hind Second Place Phils. | President Branch Rickey of the Cardinals had another chance to en- thuse following yesterday’s game with the Corsairs. The reason was the good pitching of Marvin Good- win, for whom Rickey paid $15,000 to the Milwaukee club. And ? pea did net wait long to let his enthusi- asm break out in words of praise for the young righthander. Goodwin's well deserved 2—1 vic- tory put the Knot-Holers a half game closer to second place, as the best the Phillies could do was gain an even break with the Braves.. The margin between the pa games. There was one bit of Goodwin's work that especially pleased Rickey. This came in the ninth inning with Max Carey, leading base stealer of the National League, on first. Carey took a long lead and with two gone nine @f every 10 pitchers would have let him pilfer. But not so with Good-: win. He kept on chasing Max back and on the third throw caught the fieet-footed outfielder. a Smart Pitcher. “It takes a smart pitcher to de that.” said Rickey after the game, “and I'll bet a million dollars that Goodwin is @ smart flinger. Ke made uy his mind that Carey could not take that long lead and he kept chasing him back, more to keep him glued to the bag than to catch him napping.” The victory put Goodwin over the ‘500 mark for the season.

Quinn also stated that many players this season were being purchased on the installment plan, so much down and the remainder when the athiete makes good.

DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—There was a more general disposition to purchage stocks at advances at the opening today. Initltal prices were higher in most instances anid gains was extended when it was evident shorts were wr: for stocks. Indica- tiona of better conditions in the copper in- dustries were reflected in a higher range of prices for copper stocks. Subsequent marked weakness in Pullman, General Mo- tors and New WHaven caused a “reaction. New Haven dropped 2 points, to 22%, a new low record. of support and a weak speculative following enabled bears to offer down prices of many shares, including some with an in- vestment rating. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Reading. Sugar, Union Pacific and the cop- pers were sustained, but elsewhere there were many shares which established low rec- ords or duplicated recent lowest ares. Idb- erty bonds were sold at 99.88 to 96. The general list was easier. . Bear traders were able to break stocks badly in the early afternoon. Stop loss orders were uncovered in the motors, General Motors losing more than 6 points. wn Oils. LINSEED aise an in lots of from 1 to 4 barrels at $1.2 er gailon for raw and $1. ra for boiled.
