A grand jury investigation of the local combine of milk distriubtors, which holds meetings and decides én the uniform price of milk, Was begun this afternoon, following the disclosures concerning this combine, made in yesterday's Post-Dispatch. A Federal grand jury inquiry into the price of milk here also is be- ing considered by United States Dis- trict Attorney Oliver, who said to- day that he would question the wit- nesses examined by the local grand jury, with a view either to Federal prosecution, or at least to getting in- formation which the Government needs in the work of food adminis- tration. .» Dairy Officials Subpenaed. Circuit Attorney McDaniel caused the issuance of subpenas for four of- ficials of three of the largest distrib- uting firms. They are John P. Cab- anne, vice president of the St. Louis Dairy Co., and yser, genera! {geomet Melibins rafeman, presi- dent of the Grafeman Dairy Co., and Adam Thornton, vice president of the Union Dairy Co. None of the four was found this morning at his place of business by Deputy Sheriffs who sought to serve the subpenas. <A subpena also was issued for John B. Rueschhoff, president of the Ideal Dairy Co., 2828 Oregon avenue. Hé was named by William Grafe- man, in an interview printed in yes- terday’s Post-Dispatch, as the man who “calls the meetings” of the milk distributers, at which prices are de- cided. Rueschhoff, who is 28 years old, is one of the “‘little fellows,” as Grafeman terms the smaller milk dealers. The Post-Dispatch reporter who obtained the interview with Grafeman, also was summoned as a witness. In the interview Grafeman said that Rueschoff obtained figures, from time to time, on milk prices in other cities and that this infor- mation was considered by the deal- = in deciding the local prices. He Ruegchhoff called the meet- tea. not at stated times, but when- ever a meeting seemed desirable. Grafeman insisted that there wae “no price-fixing,” although he said the price was decided at the meet- ing. Interests Federal Authoritics. ’ Rueschoff's connection with thé affairs of the milk combine had not previously been made public. _ District Attorney Oliver said to- day that, on the facts shown in Grafeman's interview in the Post- Dispatch, Rueschhoff's testimony would be of interest to the Federal Government. He said the task of prosecution, if there should be pros- ecution, would, perhaps, belong to the State courts, but that in any caso the Government would wish to get the information to which Grafe- man’s statement pointed. , To a Post-Dispatch reporter who called at his place of business last evening, Rueschhoff said that he called the meetings, but that he al- Ways did so at Grafeman’s request, and that he knew of no reason why he should be asked to do this work, xcept to save Grafeman_ the time and trouble of telephoning to the different dealers. .He said he did not get the information about prices in other cities, and did not know who did get it, but that such information Was presented at the meetings, which are held at the Buckingham Hotel. Grafeman is the principal owner of the hotel and lives there. i- The reporter obtained from Rueschhoff the first statement which it has been possible to obtain from & St. Louis distributor in several days’ effort as to the detailed cogt of milk distribution here. Whe figures which Rueschhoff gave were for his 16-wagon dairy, which, he said, dis- tributes 2500 gallons of milk a day. Rueschhoff said his concern was Actually losing 2 cents on every 100 Peunds of milk (11.63 gallons) dis- tributed at present prices, 11 cents & quart, and cited his detailed figures ks prove it.

LONDON, Sept. 21.—The Press Association hears on high naval au- thority that the new defensive meas- ures xgainst submarine warfare are meeting with success, justifying the hope of a further reduction in losses, and says it can be stated on official authority that the results of the methods adopted in the last month give cause for growing confidence. According to an Admiralty state- ment, dozens of ships have been saved by the smoke box system, which the Admiralty during the last few months has supplied to a major- ity of British merchantmen. JUDGE CAUSES ARREST OF MAN WHO THREATENS TO KILL HIM Action Follows Ralwenthen in Which Kruger Hit in the Nose Visitor Who Questioned Decision. As Judge Kruger of the Court of Criminal Correction was leaving his court yesterday afternoon Henry Finkelstein of 1414 Franklin avenue, demanded to know why he had fined a woman whom he named. Judge Kruger ordered him away. F'inkel- stein called him a name, the Judge hit-him in the nose and Finkelstein fell over a chair trying to get away. He continued to call the Judge names, running every time the Judge tried to reach him. The Judge and Theodore Umbright went in an auto- mobile to a cafe on Ninth street near Washington avenue. Finkelstein and his brother, Sam, followed in a taxi. The Judge says Henry threat- ened to kill him and he called up Chief Allender. When detectives arrived the Finkelsteins had gone. They were arrested later and Judge Kruger accepted a common law bond with Abe Slupsky, uncle of the Finkelsteins, as surety. Judge Kru- ger said today he had no desire to prosecute, but he wanted to be sure, there would not be a repetition of the annoyance. He expects the Fin- kelsteins to apologize. Henry Finkelstein was given a life sentence for murder two years ago, but the case was reversed and remanded and is set for trial at the October term of the criminal court. MAN ACCEPTED FOR WAR SERVICE IN FIFTH ATTEMPT Harry Hughes of O'Fallon, Ill., a Scotchman, who has taken out his first papers in this country, has bee. accepted for military service on his fifth attempt. Hughes is a coal miner. When the United States entered the war he ap- plied in rapid succession to the marines, the artillery, the navy and the army, but in each case was re- jected because of imperfect teeth. Monday he came to St. Louis and was accepted for service in the Canadian forces. KINGDON GOULD PULLS WEEDS Millionaire's Son Does Police Duty Too, at Army Camp. CAMP DIX, WRIGHTSTOWN, N. J., Sept. 21.—Kingdon Gould, who arrived at this cantonment Wednes- day with hundreds of other recruits, was installed into military life yes- terday by being detailed to pull weeds and do general police work. After he had been in camp 24 hours his companions were calling him “Gouldie.’’ His bed is between that of a carpenter and an electri- cian. what his occupation was, Gould said he had been a mining engineer. “I have seen much of camp life,’ said Gould, “and this clean barracks and the military atmosphere appeal to me greatly. Now that I have given my services to Uncle Sam I feel happy. I'll make my comrades work hard to beat me into the non-com ranks.’’ His call to service, it was reported, has caused a reconcfilation between Gould and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould, from whom his marriage had estranged him. Goverfhor Knits Socks for Soldiers. BILOXI, Miss., Sept. 21.—Gov. Bil- bo of Mississippi is knitting socks for the soldiers.

There was not enough to go around, but there was plenty of underwear. Those _ for whom there were no uniforms went into overalls, with the regulation flannel shirts. There was also a shortage of socks and leggings and many of the uniformed men are without adornment between trouser end and shoe tops. The footwear is called trench shoes, and they must weigh at least five pounds a pair. At least one blanket was served tc each man, and he has either a cot and a bed tick which he may fill with straw. or an iron cot with springs. They doubtless all slept well last night, since the night be- fore had been spent on ihe train. Drilling Is Begun. After the affairs of the examina- tion and bath, the issuing of clothing and blankets and afterward chow, came the most astonishing thing of the day to some of the companies. They were led out in front of the building and shown how to make a straight line, and how to turn. This way and that the patient officers moved them. In less than 24 hours after leaving St. Louis~ they were drilling in a camp of soldiers. I? a thousand men can be said to have given a united impression to one who has looked into the face of every one of them as they passed in single file into their new home, the St. Louis contingent expressed resix- nation. Out of the thousand, a doz- en seemed to be highly pleased. More than 40 were smiling. On more than 90 faces was an cx- pression of awe or wonder. ‘This properly could have been inspired by the immensity of the camp or the great number of officers grouped about the receiving shed. It may be that these were men who had not been so far from home before in such strange company. A few of the 80 could fairly be said to appeur half dazed. A Few Appear Sullen. There were seven men whose faces betrayed a feeling of resentment or sullen anger. These may have been men who found the Jong night ride particularly trying, or whose good- bys had been over long. / More than « hundred passed through with some air or manner of jauntiness, a survival of the hard ride, and a memento of the hour when they chalked the gay messages on the sides of the cars. Persons interested in statistics may be interested to know also that 27 of the St. Louisians lost their hats on the way and that more than 300 of them brought grips in violation of instructions.

INSANE MAN'S DEVOTIONS BREAKS UP PRAYER MEETING Patient Strays Away From Statc Hospital and Takes Leading Part in Services. Austin McInerney, a patient at the State Hospital for the Insane at Alton, went to prayer meeting at the Upper Alton Presbyterian Church last night and took such a promin- ent part in the dévotions that he broke up the meeting. The Rev. C. N. MeManis was lead- ing and the subject was: ‘‘How We May Help Our Pastor.”’ McInerney, who had strayed away from the hospital, enunciated his ideas on the subject at great length. An attempt was made to “sifg him down,” but he showed that he could out sing the whole prayer meeting. He got up in front and led the sing- ing and liked it so well that he wanted to keep on after the pastor dismissed the cpngregation. Hos- pital attendants, telephoned for, came and took McInerney back to the institution.

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Sept. 21.—During the night the British forces, with comparatively little opposition. con- solidated and considerably improved the new line which they had won in their offensive against the Germans to the east of Ypres. Today, from the newly acquired enemy stronghold known as ‘“‘Anzac,”’ southwest of Zonnebeke, flutters the Australian banner, a symbol of the greatest victory which has marked British operations in the western the- ater in the last year, not excluding that at Messines. Southwest of Gheluvelt the Ger- mans still are holding a _ position which the British desired and today at 9:30 o'clock Field Marshal Haig began a local attack here. British Official. LONDON, Sept. 21.—Field Mar- the British offensive on the Belgian front to the east of Ypres, where the British troops pushed through the German lines for a distance. of more than a mile yesterday, says that the completeness of the British success is confirmed by detailed accounts of the battle. The British War Office, after the receipt of Field Marshal Haig's re- port today, issued this bulletin: “More detailed accounts of . yes- terday’s battle confirm the complete- ness of our success.” “During, the evening local attacks delivered hy us in the neighborhood of Tower Hamlets and northeast of Langémarck, cleared up a number of strong points and completed the capture of our objectives m these localities,” says the statement. German Losses Heavy. “It is now established that in the many counter attacks delivered by considerable forces of the enemy during the afternoon and evening his casualties were unusually great. “The clear light of the latter part of the day enabled our troops to ob- tain warning of impending attacks and in every case the advancing Imes of German infantry were destroyed by the concentrated fire from our rifles and machine guns and artil- lery. “The obstinacy with which the enemy constantly repeated his at- tacks only added to his losses with- out recovering for him any valua- ble ground we had won. Exhaust- ed by his previous efforts, the enemy made no counter attacks during the night and our troops were able to consolidate the positions undis- turbed. Our own losses in the bat- tle are light. “In the course of the night small hostile attacks were driven off west of Havrincourt and west of Lens.” The report from the _ front last night on the ,beginning of the bat- tle said: * “Our attack this morning cast of Ypres was made on a front of about eight miles between the Ypres-Com- ines Railway and the Ypres-Staden Railroad. Great success attended our troops and positions of consid- erable military importance were won. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy. “The assembling of the regiments detailed for the attack was carried out without incident, although rain fell/steadily during the night. Our first objectives, captured at an early hour, included a number of concreted strong points and fortified farms, for the possession of which heavy fight- ing had taken place during previous attacks. South Africans Take Part. “North Country regiments carried the Inverness Copse. Australian troops stormed Glencorse Wood and Nonneboshen. Scottish and South African brigades took Potsdam, Vampire and Borey farms. West Lancashire territorials carried Iber- ian Farm and the strong point known as Gallipoli. Our troops then ad- vanced to assault their final objec- tives. “On our right English county troops reached the line of their final objectives after sharp f.ghting in the words north of the Ypres-Cuomines canal and in the neighborhood of Tower Hamlets. In the center North Country and <Australian battalions penetrated the German positions to a depth of over a mile and captured the whole of their objectives, in- cluding Hamlet, Veldboek and the ‘vestern portion of Polygon Wood. “Further north Zevenkote was captured and London and Highland territorials carried the second line of farms, including Rose Farm, Que- bec farm and Wurst farm, on tiie line of their final objectives. “During the morning the weather cleared and our airplanes were able to take a more active part in the bat- tle, indicating the povsition of our troops and reporting hostile concen-: trations to our artillery.

The American regiment has been turned over as a unit to the French Government. The officers and men already have been under German bombs and machine gun fire from airplanes. Within the last few nights a heavy train of supplies was attacked by! several enemy planes. None of the; bombs came close, but every time the firebox of the engine was opened for stoking the planes swooped down upon the train and spattered it with stee)-jacketed bullets. The fire got so hot eventually the train was stopped, the crew taking refuge be- neath the engine. A dispatch this week from the Post-Dispatch correspondent in France indicated that the Chicago regiment of engineers had been as- signed to the French army and that other American engineer regiments made up of railroad men would work with the British armies. The _ St. Louis regiment of engineers, an op- erating unit, also is in France. EFFORT TO BLOCK GRAND JURY IN COLE COUNTY IS REPORTED Political Préssure Said to Be Used to Prevent Inquiry Into Prison Mismanagement Charges, JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 21.— The Post-Dispatch correspondent is informed that political pressure is being exerted to bring about an ad- journment or indefinite recess of the special Cole County grand jury and thereby prevent an investigation of the numerous charges of misman- agement of the State penitentiary, which have been published in the Post-Dispatch from time to time. “No such pressure has been brought to bear in the history of the State,’’ said Attorney-General McAIl- lister yesterday, “‘but I believe the efforts. will be wasted. While we are investigating official depreda- tions we will sift them all. No guilty man shall escape, and if any have been aceused falsely they wilt have opportunity for vindication.” PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF LAND GIVEN TO CITY OUTLINED Cottages to Be Erccted, Bathing Beach Built on G. A. Buder Gift Acres Near Valicy Park. General plans for the improve- ment of 70 acres of land near Valley Park, recently given to the city by G. A. Buder, were outlined today by Director of Public Welfare Schmoll. He said that during this winter and next summer the city will clear the underbrush from the land, erect cot- tages of two, three and four roonts, and will pump gravel onto the mud bank for 1000 feet along the Mera- mec River to make an artificial bathing beach. An artesian well will be sunk and a sewerage system installed. The cottages, he said, would be rented to persons desiring to occu- py them during the summer months, A central dining hall will be erected. The land lies across the Meramec and about one mile south of Valley Park and can be reached by two railroads. For 500 feet back from |. the river the land is low and then rises gently. The low land will be sown in grass, and tennis and_ base- ball grounds will be made. The larg- er trees on the slope will remain standing. Director Schmoll said that it would be impossible to improve the property in time for use next sum- mer, but that it would be ready by the summer of 593. $11,000,000,000 ‘War Credit Adopted.

Psd The text of the statement given out without comment, follows: “The Secretary of State issues the following message from a Ambassador von Bernstorff to the Berlin Foreign € Jan 22,1917: «. “Slips ‘«‘T pequest authority to pay out up to $60,000 in order, a A a - pe on former occasions, to influence Congress through the organi- ° zation you know of which can ‘<*T am beginning in the perhaps prevent war. ‘ meantime to act accordingly. ‘‘*In above circumstances a public official German de- claration in favor of Ireland is highly desirable, in order to : gain the support of Irish influence here,’ Whether the State Department tis in possession of other evidence in- dicating the Ambassador's activities, has not been revealed, But the ex- traordinary disclosures already made has fixed the belief that agents of the United States Government have collected and compiled the entire story of German duplicity and in- trigue, and that additional chapters will be added. The reference to avoiding war, is taken as an indication that Ambas- sador Bernstorff had prior knowl- edge of his Government's intention to proclaim a merciless, widespread submarine warfare, and that he was equally confident that the United States Government could not be easily placated by merb promises. The German announcement of its intention to expand its submarine activities was not made public until Jan. 31, when the world was startled not only by the determination to re- move all restrictions, but by the statement that it would become ef- fective on the following day. Three days later the United States Gov- ernment expressed its disapproval by severing relations with Germany. That the German Ambassador knew of hia Government's intention was assumed by some officials, al- though at the same time he denied prior knowledge and those in close tolch with the embassy were given to understand that he did not ap- prove the course and worked to ob- tain modification. It has not been assumed that the Ambassador actually attempted to bribe or personally influence any member of Congress and doubt that such was his purpose is supported to some extent by the comparatively small amount of money he asked. Fifty thousand dollars, it was point- ed out, would go but a short way toward buying the influence of any Congressman. Judiclously expend- ed, however, it might do much in compensating pald agente, such as are now known to have belonged to the elaborate machine Hernstorff had so carefully built up for the production of propaganda and for purposes of eaplonage. Information in the possession of the Government, but not yet re- vealed, is said to show conclusively a more direct connection of the Ger- man machine in America.with the sh question than that indicated n Count Von Bernatorff's message.

At the same tima, President Wilson was addressing Congress, apparently, Count von Bernstorff was appealing to his Gov- ernment for funds with which to in- fluence congressional action. It was not the first timé, apparent- ly, that Count von Bernstorff had sought to influence congressional ac- tion. Records of the Department, of Justice are overflowing with raports from hundreds of agents coficern- ing German tntrigues here, many of which ted to the German effibalay and some of which resulted in the recall, at President Wilson's requ@st, of Capts.

It was assumed, however, that he referred to an or- ganization he had set up, although some officials were inclined to be- lieve that the method of influencing was the using of pacifists rather than to any direct subornation of Con- gresdmen. Setretary Lansing adhered to his detefmination not to discuss this latest discloBSure and refused to re- veafthe manner’in which the mes- sagé’to Berlin came into the hands of the Government. While the Unit- ed States was neutral certain priv- ileg#s had been extended to the Ger- mafi’embassy in the transmission of messages but only after their con- tent? had been made known. Message Reached Berlin. “NO, this was not one that passed thréGigh this Government's channels of CSmmunication,” was the reply of an 6fficial at the State Department, wh6A it was suggested that Ambas- sadot Bernstorff might have used the UWhited States as a transmitter of the message. It is known that the mes#age reached Berlin, but whether the German Foreign Office ever was able to get a reply to America is not knéwn. It was indicated that it cam into possession of the State De- partment some time after it was sent,’ perhaps after the break in re- lati6hs, and. possibly after the dec- lar@tion of war. It was pointed out that”*knowledge of the Ambassador's acti@A at the time it was taken would have’ precipitated more immediate actién, but the suggestion was an- sweréd by the intimation that the mass of evidence being gathered ther was of such a character that it essary or opportune to give undue impertance then to a knowledge of the @mbassador’s duplicity: Ruference to “former occasions” on Which the Ambassador had asked for #nd~used money in influencing Corfgress is in line with other evi- dence now in possession of the State Department, showing the extent to whteh the German Government had gonéfin building up an organization for propaganda and espionage. ‘s. Ensult,” Says Stone. ‘hat is an insult to this Govern- ment,” Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate:Foreign Relations Com- mittee, angrily declared when he readtthe Bernstorff message. ‘§¢ is-absolutely intolerable,” he added. “Any representative of any foretgn Government who should make such -an attempt to. interfere with affairs ‘of this Government— for it is direct interference with the Government to attempt to influence Congress—well deserves to be given his Spasgports and sent from the country.” Senator Stone said he had no knowledge of any attempt’ to in- fluence Congress as indicated by the German m e, but that he, like many othér Congressmen, had ré- ceived stacks of propaganda tele- grams. Z “In view of the fact that charges of large expenditures of money in German propaganda have not been denied,” said Senator Reed, “this new. evidence is cumulative. The raoney evidently was spent in propa- gan@a: -It is possible that there are men_in this country big enough scolfidrels to take money for that purpose. I would be deeply inter- ested if there is any charge that any member of Congress knew that or- ga tions seeking to influence him weré financed by Germany.” “lL, have heard it repeated,” said Senator Norris of Nebraska, “that both: Gérmany and England used large sums of money in this coun- try. ‘No organization that I know of got. any German money or any other kind. Assuredly no German mofféy was used to influence the members of Congress who were agaimst war. The Bernstorff mes- sag was sent, you may notice, at a time when President Wilson was agaifist war.” THOUSANDS OF TELEGRAMS WERE SENT TO CONGRESS Dispatching of Messages From St.“Louis Was Under Direc- h of Chicago Organization. ousands of telegrams calculat- ed fo “influence Congress” were sent to Washington from St. Louis and all other large cities and from many smaller population centers while measures looking to the declaration of a state of war with Germany were pending in Congress. SSime-of these were forwarded in April, 1916, when the United States was- preparing to define its sub- m e policy, and others early in th@ present year, when the break- off of relations with Germany ed imminent. | St. Louis it was learned that sending of about 14,000 night rs to Congressmen in April, », was done under the direction ans Wulff, an attorney, who an officer of the local branch he» German-American Alliance. British Troops Sent to Attack Equipped Light iest Barrage Fire Yet Made Rapid Advances in Flanders With Heav- Attem pted---Concrete Position Captured by Storm, By Associated Press. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCRE, Sept. 20.—The British of- fensive, which began at dawn over wide front cast of the Ypres salient, found the attacking forces late todav holding many positions of vital im- portance and continuing the Aght ir. the German lines along a line which in many places represented an aver- age giin of a mile tn depth. Such redoubtable strongholds as Nun’s Wood, Glencorse Wood, In- verness Copse and Shrewsbury For- est. which have withstood numerous fierce assauJts recently, were entire- ly overrun by the _ British, who reached points well beyond them. It has béen a day of great success for the British arms, for the possessiot of wooded heights which they cap- tured east of Ypres unquestionably is of crucial importance, since these dominating positions form the kev- stone of the German structure of de- fense in this sector. The greatest gains have been made between St. Julien and Hollebeke, which was ac- cording to plan, for within this stretch of country lie the important defense just mentioned. Men Were Equipped Light. The troops that went out to the attack represented some of the fin- est men in the British army. Their advance was preceded by one of ths most perfect and heaviest barrage fires yet attempted. The men went over the top stripped light and as a result of this, coupled with the fine artillery support, they were enabled to negotiate the first stages of the difficult ground rapidly. They had swept through Glencorse Wood, In- verness Copse and the eastern part of Shrewsbury Forest by 8 o’clock, two hours and 20 minutes after the attack began, and other advanced po- sitions were reached with equal ra- pidity, which is a remarkable achievement in view of the marshy nature of the ground due to heav, rain. On the left of the line attacked heavy fighting developed on the high ground on either side of the Zonn- beke-Langemarck road. A number of strongly fortified farms were en- countered in this region and bombed into submission. Among these was Schuyler Farm, a short distance southeast of St. Julien. Schuyler Farm held out long against attacks and continued to play on the Brit- ish with machine guns until it was taken. Strong resistance was en- countered at a redoubt on the Ypres- Roulers Railway west of Zonnbeke. PThis*redoubt ig a massive concrete: steel structure and it withstood al: of the shell fire poured against it. The British attacked on two sides and stormed the place with bombs until its occupants raised the white flag. : Casualties Are Small. The British casualties so far re- ported are exceptionally light, tho majority being due to machine gun fire. British airplanes again dominated the afr. They wefe thick over the line of the British advance and car- ried on vigorous warfare back of the German positions, where tons of high explosive bombs were dropped. A large number of prisoners al- ready have been brought In. Heavy fighting along this front is expected to follow today’s attack because it is certain that the Germans will not relinquish these positions without a bitter struggle. Air pilots report that the roads back of the German lines are filled with troops being rushed up for a counter attack, but this is a pleasing feature to the British ar- tillerymen, who express the desire for nothing better than to get as many Germans as possible out in the open, where their shells will reach them. The scene of the present British offensive includes one of the most important and strongest parts of the German line in this section, and has been marked by some of the most bitter fighting of the war since. the allies seven weeks ago began their drive. The wooded elevations east and southeast of Ypres were the vi- tal points, and the Germans had madestheir defense here as nearly impfegnable as they were able, be- out regard to the cost.

The average duration of the occu- pation of the front trenchos by Ger- man divisions befcre their withdraw- al is only eight days, in which time the casualties become so heavy that their retirement Is compulsory. During a similar period of the Somme battle a year ago, 34 German divisions were engaged, 22 of which were withdrawn as a consequence of casualties after 12 days’ fighting. During the Verdun fighting, which began on Aug. 20, 10 German divi- sions, including four reserve divi- sions, were withdrawn af‘er fighting from a minimum of two days to a maximum of four days.

Germany Made Pica for Free Ire- land, as Bernstorff Suggested. On Jan. 31, nine days after Bern- storff’s suggestion that a German official statement be made favoring home rule for Ireland, the inaugu- ration of ruthless submarine warfare was announced by Berlin in a note. which was a reply to a peace pro- .

The note in part read: “Germany would be sincerely glad if, in recognition of this principle (self-government for the smaller na- tion) countries like Ireland and India, which do not enjoy the bene- fits of political independence, should now obtain their freedom.” In an interview with an Associa- ted Press correspondent in Berlin, which was published in the United States Jan. 16 last, Dr. Alfred Zim- merman, then German Foreign Sec- retary, in discussing the entente’'s reply to President Wilson’s peace note, said: “Charity begins at home.

The two new regiments will form the First Brigade of the Mis- souri and .Kansas Division. The Third and Sixth Missouri Infantry will be combined into one unit and this, with a regiment formed from the Second and Third Kansas In- fantry, will constitute the Second Brigade. The First Brigade will be com- manded by Brigadier-General A. B. Donnelly of St. Louis and the Sec- ond Brigade will be under Brigadier- General C. A. Martin of Kansas. Brigadier-General Harvey C.

It was officially announced at brig- ade headquarters this morning that the Missouri regiments woul ddepart next wee" for the permanent training camp at Fort Sill, Ok. The first unit to move will be the Fourth Infantry, which will entrain Monday. It will be followed Tuesday by the Fifth, Wednesday by the Second and Thurs- day by the Sixth. The First Regiment, from St. Louis, which is the only one of the organ- izations which has wagons and horses, will be held here until the others have departed to assist in the work of loading and cleaning up the camp site. It will entrain for Fort Sill Oct. 1. A majority of the enlisted men of the Fifth spent the afternoon yester- day playing football. The officers’ team also held its first practice work- out under the direction of Maj. A. R. Sauerwein, chief coach, who was as: nisted by Sergts. Louis Menges and “Puff” Martin.

BRINGING THEIR OWN GUNS Us,” One Explains—Another Carries a Pumpkin. CAMP FUNSTON, Kan., Sept. 21. —A farmer came in to Camp Fun- ston last night from Polk County, Missouri, carrying a double-barreled shotgun thrown over his shoulder, with his extra clothing done up in a red bandana handkerchief. “I saw in the papers that they didn’t have any guns for us here so I just brought mine along,’ he ex- plained. Another farmer in the same contingent carried a big yel- low pumpkin. “You see, the pimpkins are just ripe back home, and I ain't had no pumpkin pie yet,” he explained. Another delegation from a Neb- raska county brought seven hounds with them. They explained they had heard so much about the size and ferocity of the world-famous jack- rabbits that they determined to pro- tect themesives.. A man from Buf- falo County brought a washboard. He said he had heard all soldiers had to wash their own clothes and he didn’t know just how long it would be before payday so he brought along a washboard and a bar of laundry soap. A man from Greeley County, Kan., had a rifle. “I'm ready for duty, sir,” he said. “IT can knock a tin can off a fence post with my gun at 600 yards.” The POST-DISPATCH Situations Wanted ads are consulted by St. Louls employers.

We also captured a few gunes.”’ The Reuter correspondent at Brit- ish headquarters says tanks were employed in limited numbers in the battle, for the ground does not favor their use. “Our walking wounded report that every shell hole and pill box yielded its quota of anything between a doz- en and 30 prisoners,” says the corre- spondent. “Some surrendered witk- out firing a shot, others made stub- born resistance by fire and bomb throwing. As our barrage crept to- ward them, the occuparts of there defensive positions issued with fixed bayonets, manifestly in accordance with previous orders to receive the attack.

PETROGRAD, _ Sept. 21.—-The Russians on the Riga front Wednes- day répuleed an attack by the Ger- mans with great losses to the in- vaders, according to the statement issued yesterday by the War Office. The Rumanians were compelled to abandon enemy positions they had occupied in the region of Ocna. The statement says: “Yesterday, in the direction of Riga, the enemy's infantry conduct- ed an offensive in the region east of Lemberg. In a daring counter- attack by Letts, with the energetic co-operation of our artillery, the en- emy was driven back and suffered great losses. “In the region of Ocna the enemy counter-attacked Tuesday, forcing the Rumanians to abandon a sector of enemy positions that they had occupied. “Caucasian front: East of Van our troops have been engaged in battle with a band of Kurds.

Director of Public Safety McKel- vey returned to St. Louis after a 20- day vacation today and announced he had not heard from Washington University, the Civic League and the Engineers’ Club in response to his re- quest that they recommend a man to take the place of Alvin D. Reed, Inspector of Boilers and Elevators, who also has charge of smoke abate- ment. Director McKelvey got one recom- mendation from the Engineers’ Club, but could not make the appointment because the man was a nonresident.

The plant uses $4000 worth of coa’ a year, Rueschhoff declared, and $2900 worth of stationery. The statement assesses two cents a gallon, or $18,250 a year, for lost and broken bottles. Pint bottles cost $6.50 a gross and quarts $7.50. Bottles at $7.20 a gross would be five cents each, and $18,250 will buy 365,000 bottles. Five cents a gallon is taken to cover the cost of country handling and transportation charges to St. Louis, a total of $45,625 a year, for 912,600 gallons. The Ideal Dairy Co. employs 30 inen, including Rueschhoff and E4- ward G. Hammel, the sole owners. It operates 15 delivery wagons. Rueschhoff’s cost statement allows 8% cénts a gallon for payroll, or $76,562.50 a year. This would mean an average wage for each man of $2652.10 a year, or about $212.67 a month: Onre-sixth of a cent per gallon is allowed for officers’ salaries and in- terest on investment. Rueschhoff said the investment was small and that salaries of himself and Hammel, the only officers, were figured at a minimum, as they divide the profits. Admits Calling Meetings. The sales expense of the Ideal Dairy is not included in Ruesch- hoff'’s statement. He explained that this is taken care of in the division of profits with Hammel, as the lat- ter personally handles the selling end of the business. Rueschhoff was -superintending the washing of bottles, and was wear- ing wooden shoes when the reporter called. When Grafeman’s statement, mentioning .-his name, was shown to him, Rueschhoff said: “Yes, I've been calling the meet- ings. Whenever Mr. Grafeman calls me up and asks me to, I telephone to. all the others, asking them to meet at the Buckingham.” He was asked how long he had been attending to this matter, and said his service began last April, when a meeting was held at the Buckingham, at which the price of milk was raised from 9 to 10 cents a quart. “TI was invited to the meeting,” he said, ‘‘by Fred B. Wolken, president of the Jersey Farm Dairy Co., who at that time had charge of calling the meetings. At this meeting, prices in other cities were discussed, and some speakers said it was time for St. Louis to get in line. It was de- cided to raise the price to 10 cents. “Then Wolken said he didn’t wish to do the work of calling the meet- ings any longer, and someone sug- gested me. I agreed to do it. Since then Mr. Grafeman has given me no- tice, a day in advance, when I should call a meeting.”’ He was asked why Grafeman could not do the summoning him- self, and said he supposed it was because Grafeman was busy - with 5 ‘senting the Food Administration and hotel business.” Rueschhoff added that he was pretty busy him- self, and this was evidenced by the surroundings. He professed to know nothing of the obtaining of com- parative prices from other cities. A’ prosecution is now pending in the . United States District Court against Rueschhoff and his partner, Hammel, on an information issued by the District Attorney Sept. 6, charging them with shipping adult- erated and unsanitary milk to Coult- erville, Ill. Six offenses; all of the same character, are charged, and the total of five of the alleged ship- ments is 69 cans, the size of the sixth shipment not being stated. The of- fense alleged would be a violation of the pure food and drug act. e--———— MOTHERS PLAN PROTEST AGAINST MILK ADVANCE Meeting of Those in Boyle Me- morial District Is Called Today. Mothers in the district served by Boyle Memorial Center, a social serv- ice headquarters at 816 North Elev- éenth street, were invited to a meeting at the center this afternoon to pro- test against an increase in the price of milk. Besides the resolution to be intro- duced at this-afternoon’s meeting of the Board of Aldermen by President Aloe, at the request of the Post-Dis- patch, for an aldermanic inquiry into milk prices, Alderman Kralemann has planned to introduce a bill pro- viding for the appropriation of $300,- 000 for the establishment of munic- ipal dairy farms. Comptroller Nolte has said that the city has not money available for this purpose. Plans for wholesale purchase of milk by the city, to be distributed to the poor at cost, are being considered by Welfare Director Schmoll. Oth- er plans contemplate an appeal to President Wilson and Food Admin- istrator Hoover. Some question has been raised as to Hoover's authority to fix a price for milk, but some action by the Food Administration, possibly the in- stallation of a license system, is in- dicated by a letter which Hoover's office recently sent to all the local milk distributors.

Two units containing three doctors and about 12 nurses each sent to Germany by the American National Red Cross. I took up the questions as to whether these would be accepted by iF 2% “et Bef#e their » German authorities and where they would be placed. The German Whorities accepted the units and at first decided to send one to each mt. The young man assigned to the west front was Goldschmidt Roth- id, one of the last descendants of the great Frankfort family of Roth- 45 é é ca. Malleyrand was of a branch of sbrated Talleyrand family and pos- ed German citizenship. During i Napoleonic era the great Talley- ad married one of his nephews to Princess of Courland, who, with her : , was joint heiress of the princ- ity of Sagan in Germany. The are of the other sister was bought the sister who married young > . ieyrand and the descendants of t union became Princes of Sag on i held the Italian title of Duke de aris - no and the French title of Duke Valencay.

Others : ‘Duke de Dino, who married two m ricans, first Miss Curtis and sec- daly Mrs. Sampson. It was a custom this family that the holder of the incipal title, that of the Prince de man, allowed the next two mem- s in succession to bear the titles Duke de Dino and Duke de Valen- ¥. Before the last Prince of Sagan ied in France his son, Helie, mar- d.the American, Anna Gould, who ad divorced the Count Castellane. the death of his father, and in tcoordance with the statutes of the fcuse of Sagan, the members of the amily who were German citizens fa family council and, with tha | broval of the Emperor of Ger- Rhy, passed over the succession om Anna Gould's husband to her mM, so that her son has now the ht to the title and not h’s father, it the son must become a German Uzen,at his majority. The younger brother of the hus- nd.of Anna Gould bears the title ‘Duke de Valencay, and is the di-| reed husband of the daughter of vi P. Morton, formerly Vice Pres- int of the United States. This young Mileyrand to whom I have referred i who was assigned to the Amer- a man Red Cross unit, although he was “ay ak os by nationality, did not wish ) aD Sig this war against France, in hich’*country he had so many und relations, and, therefore, ‘assignment to the American Red 688 Was most welcome to him.

At about the time of the with- rawal of these units I had heard hy ich of the sufferings of German e“oners in Russia. I had many mversations with Zimmermann of "German Foreign Office and met Hatzfeld on this question, 23 = 88 with Prince Max of Baden, ® heir presumptive to the throne thet country, and I finally ar- reed thdt such of these American AQ: nd nurses as volunteered Ha be sent to Russia to do what ” ould for the German prison- + of War there.

The one assigned to the tinit for the east front was Count Helie i Talleyrand. Both of these young men spoke English perfectly and *e chosen for that reason, and both have many friends in England and ment for the admission of the mis- sion, it started from Berlin for Pet- rograd. The German authorities and the Germans as a whole were very much pleased with this arrangement. Officers of the Prussian army were present at the departure of the trains and gave flowers to all the nurses. It is very unfortunate that after their arrival in Russia this mission was hampered in every way, and had the greatest difficulty in ob- taining permission to do any work at all. Buti many of them managed to get in positions where they assist- ed the German prisonérs. For in- stance, in one town where there were about 5000 Germans who had been sent there to live one of our doctors managed to get appointed as city physician, and, aided by sev- able to do a great work for the Ger- man population. Others of our nurses managed to get as far as Tomsk, in Siberia, and others were scattered through the Russian empire. Had this mission, under Dr. Snod- dy, been able to carry out its work as originally planned it would not only have done much good to the German prisoners of war, but would have helped a great deal to do away with the bitter feeling entertained by Germans toward Americans. Even with the limited opportunity given this mission, it undoubtedly mater- ially helpéd the prisoners. On arriving in Berlin on their way home to America from Gleiwitz and Kosel the doctors and nurses of these American units were all awarded the German Red Cross Order of the sec- ond class, and those who had been in Austria were similarly decorated by the Austro-Hungarian Govern- ment. Admiration for Herbert C. Hoover, Among those who devoted them- selves to works of charity during this war, no one stands higher than Herbert C. Hoover. I cannot find words to express my admiration for this man, whose great talents for organization were placed at the service of humanity. Every one knows of what he accomplished in feeding the inhabitants of Beigium | and Northern France. Mr. Hoover asked me to become one of the chair- men of the International Commis- sion for the Relief of Belgium, and I was happy to have the opportunity in Berlin, to second his efforts. There was considerable business in connec- tion with the work of the commis- sion. I had many interviews with those in authority with ~rangatanagg Pa Hoover and I called on Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and endeav- ored to get him to remit the fine of embas- | 40,000,000 francs a month which the at-| Germans had imposed upon Belgium. This, however, the Chancellor re- fused to do. Later on in April, 1915, I was able as an eyewitness to see how efficiently Mr. Hoover's organ- ization fed, in addition to the peo- ple of Belgium, the French popu- lation in that part of Northern France in the occupation of the Ger- mans. Mr. Hoover surrounded himself with an able staff, Mr. Vernon Kel- logg and others, and in America men like A. J. Hemphill were his devoted supporters... arty in 1915 Ernest P. Bickneil, who had first come to Germany rep- resenting the American Red Cross, returned representing not only tha: organization, but the Rockefeller Foundation. With him was Wick- liffe Rose, also of the Rockefeller Foundation, and with these two gen- tlemen I took up the question of the relief of Poland. Mr. Rose and Mr. Bicknell together visited Poland and saw with their own eyes the necessity for relief. A meeting was held in the Reichstag, attended by Prince Hatz- feld of the German Red Cross.

The Commission for the Relief of Poland was organized, of which I was to be chairman, and included the Spanish Ambassador, His Excellency the Bishop of Posen, the Prince Bishop of Cracow, Jacob H. Schiif of New York and others. Messrs. Warwick, Greene and Wadsworth were to take up the actual executive work. In conjunction with Messrs. Rose and Bicknell, I drew up a sort of treaty, having particularly in mind certain difficulties encountered by the American Relief Commission in Belgium. The main point in this treaty was that the German Govern- ment agreed not to requisition either food or money within the limits of the territory to be relieved, which territory comprised that part of Po- land within German occupation up to within, as I recall it, 50 kilometers of the firing line. The one exception was that a fine might be levied on a community where all the inhabitants had made themselves jointiy and severally liable according to the pro- visions of The Hague convention. The Rockefeller Foundation, on its part, agreed to pay all the expenses of the executive work of the commission. This treaty, after being submitted to Gen. Hindenburg and approved by him, was signed by Dr. Lewald, rep- resenting the German Government: by Mr. Bicknell, representing the Rockefeller Foundation, ind by me, representing the new commission for the relief of Poland. Work was immediately commenced under this arrangement; and, so far as possible, food was purchased in Holland and Denmark, but there was little to be had in these countries. The allies, however, refused to allow food to enter Germany for the pur- pose of this commission and so the matter fell through. Later, when the allies were willing to permit the food to enter, it was the Germar. | | | } | Government that refused to reaffirm this treaty and refused to agree that the German army of occupation would not requisition food in occu- pied Poland. Of course, under these circumstances no one could expect the allies to consent to -he entry of food, becdause the obvious result would be that the Germans would immediately, following the prece- dents established by them in North- ern France, take all the food pro- duced in the country for their army and the civil population of Germany and allow the Poles to be fed with food sent in from outside, while per- haps their labor was utilized in the very fields the products of which were destined for German consump- tion. . Poland’s Suffering Great. There is no question that the suf- ferings of the people of Poland have been very gréat; when the history of Poland during this war comes to be written, the world will stand aghast at the story of her sufferings. It is & great pity that these various schemes for relief did not succeed. The Rockefeller Commission, how- ever, up to the time I left Germany, did continue to carry on some meas- ure of relief, and succeeded in get- ting in condensed milk, t6 some ex- tent, for the children of that unfor- tunate country. These negotiations brought me in contact with a number of Poles resident in Berlin whom I found most eager to do what they could to relieve the situation. I wish here to express my admira- tion for the work of the Rockefeller Commission in Europe. Not only were the ideas of the commission ex- cellent and businesslike, but the men selected to carry them into effect ' were without exception men of high churacter, possessed of rare execu- tive ability. As I have said in a previous chap- ter, | was ridiculed in the American newspapers because I had suggested, in answer to a cable of the League of Mercy, that some work should be done for the prisoners of war. Great Work of the Y. M. C. A. I do not know whether the great work undertaken by Dr. John R. Mott and his associates was suggest- ed by my answer or not—that does not matter. But this work, under- taken by the American Y. M. C. A., certainly mattered a great deal to the prisoners of war in Burope. Dr. Mott, after serving on the Mexican Commission, has gone to Russia as a member of the commission to that country. The Y. M. C. A. organization, head- ed by Dr. Mott, who was most ably assisted by the Rey. Archibald Cc. Harte, took up this work, which was financed, I have been told, by the McCormick family of Chicago, Cleve- land H. Dodge, John D. Rockefeller and others. Mr. Harte obtained per- mission from the German authorities for the erection of meeting halls and for work in German camps. When he had obtained this authorization from Germany he went to Russia, where he was able to get a &’imilar authorization. At first, in Russia, as I have heard. the prisoners of war were allowed great liberty and lived unguarded in Siberian villages,, where they ¢ tained milk, bread, honey at very reasonable rates. As the war went on they were more and more confined to barracks, and there their situation was sad indeed. In the winter season it is dark at 3 in the afternoon and remains dar}. until 10 the following morning. Of course, I did not see the Russian prison camps. The work carried on there was similar to that carried or in the German camps by Mr. Harte und his band of devoted assistants. I was particularly interested in this work, because I hoped that the aid given to the German prisoners of war in Russia would help to do away with the great hate and prejudice against Americans in Germany. So butter, eggs and I did all I could not only to forward | Mr. Harte’s work, but to suggest and organize the sending of the expedi- tion of nurses and doctors, which I have already described, to the Rus- sian camps. Of course,’ Mr. Harte in this work did not attempt to cover all the pris- on camps in Germany. He did much to help the mental and physical con- ditions of the prisoners in Ruhle- ben, the English civilian camp near Berlin. The American Y. M. C. A, bAilt a great hall where religiou: xercises were held, plays and lec- tures given and where prisoners had a good place to read and write ir during the day. A library was estab- lished in this building. The work carried on by the Y. M. C. A. may be briefly described as coming under the following heads: Religious activities, educational ac- tivities, workshops and _ gardens, physical exercises and outdoor sports, diet ‘kitchens. for convalescents, li- braries and music, including orches- tras, choruses and the like. When I left Germany on the breaking of diplomatic relations a number of these Y. M. C. A. workers left with me. German Women’s Qualities in War. The German women exhibited not- able qualities in war. They engaged in the Red Cross work, including the preparation of supplies and bandages for the hospitals. The first day of mobilization saw a number of young country with food and drink for the passing soldiers. At railway junc- tions and terminals in the large cities stations were established where there Red Cross workers gave a warm meal to the soldiers passing through. In these terminal stations there were also women workers possessed of suf- ficient skill to change the dressings of the slightly wounded. On the Bellvuestrasse, Frau von Ihne, wife of the great architect, founded a home for blinded soldiers. In this home soldiers were taught to | make brooms, brushes, baskets and | and comforts to the soldiers at the sO On. German women who had country places turned these into homes for the convalescent wounded. But per- haps the most noteworthy was tl:e National Frauendienst or Service for Women, organized the first day of: The relief given by the) state to the wives and children of the war. soldiers was distributed from sta- tions in Berlin, and in the neighbor- hood of each of these stations the Frauendienst established an office where women were always in attend- ance, ready to give help and advice to the soldiers’ wives. There were card indexes of all the people with- in the district and of their needs. At the time I left Germany I believe that there were upward of 7000 women engaged in Berlin in social service. in instructing the women in the now art of cooking without milk, eggs or fat and seeing to it that the children had their fair share of milk. It is due to the efforts of these social! workers that the rate of infant mor- tality in Berlin decreased during the war. Helping Over Periods of Poverty. A war always causes a great unset- tling in business and trade; people no longer buy as many articies of | OVER WAR SPEECH BY LA FOLLETTE “You're Yellow, Bob,” “Pot Him Out” Cries Follow Defense of Sinking of Lusitania. DEFIES OPPONENTS Majority of Delegates at Pro- . ducers’ Conference Give Sen- ator Tumultuous Reception. ator La Fallette of Wisconsin told an audience gathered at the closing ses- sion of the Producers’ and Consum- ers’ Conference last night that he was opposed to war, that he thought Germany had been rather rough with the “technical” rights of American citizens, but that he did not think the exercise of these technical rights in traveling on belligerent merchant- men laden with munitions was worth going to war about. A majority of the delegates to the ob-. conference, mainly farmers, gave the Wisconsin Senator a tumultuous re- ception. There were a few in the large gathering, however, who did not approve all the sentiments ex- pressed by the speaker. When ex- plaining his declaration that the United States should never have en- tered the war, and when he sought to defend the sinking of the Lusi- tania there came cries of ‘‘You're yellow, Bob,” and “Put him out.” Instantly there was great confusion but above the uproar the Senator shouted: “Any man who says that in an audience like this is yellow himself. I'll take care of any man who interrupts me if you will give me a chance.”’ 4 Questioned About Lusitania. “What about the lLusitania?’’ somebody shouted, and Gov. Frazier of North Dakota, the chairman, had much. difficulty in quelling the dis- turbance that ensued. “A passenger on a foreign ship carrying munitions is technically in foreign territory,” said Senator La Follette. “The citizen who enters such a ship takes his life in his own hands. I belfeve that the Ameri- can munition makers encouraged Americans to ride on such ships to give them semblance of protection.’’ “We are now in the war, and we have got to finance it. More than 350 leading economists of the coun- try urged that the nation pay for the war by surplus incomes and excess profit taxes. But their petition fell into the hands of the PhilistMmes when it got to Congress and nobody has ever heard of r. “The tax bill passed provides for the conscription of only 31 per cent of excess war profits and after three years of the richest pickings in the history of the corporations.” Assails War Profiteers. A. C. Townsley, president of the Nonpartisan League, which fathered the conference, preceded Senator La Follette, speaking on the ‘next step in the people's fight.” He was wildly applauded when he _ de- clared: “The profiteers must be elim- inated before we can force the war to a conclusion. They are the coun- try’s) worst criminals. They are realizing $4,000,000,000 of profits from the war and that is the reason why they desire to prolong the great conflict.”’ “The ‘kept press’ is another that must be defeated;” he continued. “Why, there are men at these tables in front of the speaker's stand, who have deliberately lied about what we have said durtng these three days we have been in session.” La Follette Hung in Effigy by Work- ers in Wisconsin. GREEN BAY, Wis., Sept. 21—Hm- ployes of a local cooperage company yesterday hung Senator La Follette in .effigy to a smokestack at the plant. The workers then signed a loyalty pledge.

In Ger- many the National Women’s Service, acting with the labor exchanges, did its best to find new positions for those thrown out of work. Women were helped over a period of pov- erty until they could find new places and were instructed in new trades. Many women engaged in the work of sending packages containing food front and to the German prisoners of war in other countries. Through the efforts of the Amer- ican Association of Commerce and Trade and the embassy a free res- taurant was established in Berlin in one of the poorer districts. About 200 persons were fed here daily ina hall decorated with flags and plants. This was continued even after we left Germany. At Christmas, 1916, Mrs. Gerard and I visited this kitchen with Mr. and Mrs. Wolf and Gen. von Kessel, commander of the Mark of Bran- denburg, and one of his daughters. Presents were distributed to the chil- dren and the mothers received an or- der for goods in one of the depart- ment stores. The German Christmas songs were sung, and when a little German child offered a prayer for peace, I do not think there was any one present who could refrain from weeping. Many of the German women of title, Princesses, etc., established base hospitals of their own and seemed to manage these hospitals with success. ‘To be continued in the Post-Dis- patch tomorrow.) UPROAR IN MEETING ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 21.—Sen- | SCOTT IS INDICTED IN COAL SCANDAL AT STATE CAPITAL Ousted Official Is Charged With Embezzlement in Seven of _ Nine True Bills. TWO ARE AGAINST DEALER Found That Commissioner Sold State Fuel and Did Not Pay Money Into Treasury. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 21.— The Cole County grand jury last night voted nine indictments in the state coal scandal. In seven of the true bills, John W. Scott, ousted Commissioner of the Permanent Seat of Government, is charged with em- bezglement. The other two were brought against John Riner, a local coal dealer. Exactly two weeks have elapsed since the Post-Dispatch concluded its investigation of the selling and giving away of state coal and caused the calling of a grand jury. : Scott and Riner will be brought into court today, when Judge Slate will announce the amounts of their bonds. Jury Verified Disclosures. It is understood that the grand jury developed no new disclosures in the coal inquiry other than those published in the Post-Dispatch, but confined its labors to verifying the facts as published. It was found that Scott had sold State coal, shipped to him in his of- ficial capacity, to State officers, em- ployes and politicians, and had not paid the money into the treasury, although all officials who were found to have received the coal declared they had paid Scott at the rate of $2.90 a ton, the price the State paid the West Virginia Coal Co. for the coal f. o. b. cars at Jefferson City. The investigation also revealed that Scott ignored the contract be- tween the State and the West Vir- ginia Coal Co. and bought more than $8000 worth of coal from Riner at $4.50 and $65 a ton, and that much of the coal furnished by Riner was of an inferior grade. | Used Half of Coal Paid For. Employes at the State heating plant testified that wagons from Riner’s coal yard frequently were seen hauling coal from cars which had been shipped to the State by the West Virginia Coal Co. Engineers and firemen at the State plant estimated the State had used less than half of the coal it had paid for. It also developed that Riner had collected $529 for hard coal hauled to the Supreme Court Building last winter. Employes in “the building said not more than 12 or 15 tons had been delivered. Two small bills of the total had been approved by Chtef Justice Graves and paid in the regular way. Scott Approved Bills. Janitors at the building said these bills represented about the actual amount of coal delivered. The larger part of the bills were approved by Scott. In addition to the bills paid, one for $184 was held up by Judge Graves because he did not believe the coal had been delivered. The bill is still unpaid. According to the bills submitted by Riner, 64 tons of hard coal were burned at the Supreme Court build- ing last winter. Janitors testified hard coal was burned only in a small water heater, the size of a small house stove. Scott came here yesterday on 4 noon train from St. Louis. He visited the offices of the West Virginia Coal Co. in St. Louis on the day follow- ing the exposures in the Post-Dis- patch, and requested officers of the company to give him separate in- voices for a car of State coal which he sold to Morris Gordon, State Su- pervisor of the Building and Loan Department, and his father, former State Auditor John P. Gordon. Dealer Says He Borrowed Coal. On advice of his attorney, Tom Dumm, he refused to be interviewed on the action of the grand jury. Riner said yesterday the coal hauled from State cars by his wagons was “borrowed” and that he had kept a record of the coal 80 “borrowed,” and had returned it later in the sea- son. Concerning the bills for hard coal at the Supreme Court building, Riner said he understood there had been some question about one of the bills, and that he had been requested to explain it, but that he had not found time to take the matter up. The grand jury will transfer its investigation from coal to disinfect- ant. The disinfectant exposures made by the Post-Dispatch follow- ing the coal revelations, showed that Scott had bought from the Germo Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis more disinfectant than the State could use in years. Two 60-galion steel bar- rels of costly insectcide had been stored in the basement of a local ho- tel. It was found that the Germo company gave valuable presents to officers who purchased supplies for public institutions and buildings. Friend of Scott Was Agent. Lawrence Huegel, Bertillon offi- cer at the penitentiary and a close friend of Scott, was local agent for the Germo company. Huegel is a son of Col. J. A. Huegel, proprietor of the Central Hotel, who found the insectide stored in his basement and ordered it hauled to his son’s home. The barrels later were hauled to the State Capitol yard late one evening. Lawrence Huegel told the Post-Dis- mission on goods bought from his company by the State. It was learned from a source of high authority immediately after the first exposure of the coal scan- dal that Gov. Gardner might remove from the office every State employe who had obtained State coal from Scott. Friends of the implicated of- ficials became very busy and strong pressure was brought to bear on the Governor to retain them. Many party leaders over the State and party newspaper organs are de- manding that the offenders be re- move dto save the party reputation. Among the State officials who got State coal at $2.90 a ton, when the current retail price here was $4.50 a ton, were: Walter Chorn, Superin- tendent of Insurance, who got 10 tons; Morris Gordon, Supervisor of the Building and Loan Department, who divided 40 tons with his father: Speed Mosby, State Beer Inspector, who doesn’t remember how much coal he bought from Scott: Bert Drane, clerk in the Public Service Commission, two tons; Lawrence Huegel, five tons, and other employes df the Insurance Department, whose names were not brought out in the preliminary investigation. TAKING OF TESTIMONY IK SOUKHOMLINOFF'S TRIAL ENDS Russian General and His Wife Are Last Witnesses Examined—Pros- ecutor Begins Arguments. PETROGRAD, Sept. 21.—-The tak- ing of testimony in the triai of Gen. W. A. Soukhomlinoff, former Minis- ter of War, who is charged with trea- son, and his wife, the latter charged with being an accessory, was finished yesterday. Prosecutor Nosovitch, in summing up the evidence, declared it led constantly to the close connec- tion of Gen. Soukhomlinoff and his wife with Col. Maisodoff and other notorious spies. Gen. Soukhomlinoff and his wife were the last witnesses examined. Mme. Soukhomlinoff dramatically protested against baring her personal affairs to the world, declaring: “From ‘this it would seem that my divorce from M. Boutovich was more important than the real facts in the case, and that I am the only divorced woman in Russia. M. Boutovich was a lunatic, and I simply tired of life with a crazed man and married M. Soukhomlinoff.”’ Mme. Soukhomlinoff declared that the alleged spies with whom she and her husband were friendly were merely acquaintances, nothing more. Gen. Soukhomliinoff also protested against the bringing of his private correspondence into the trial. The prosecutor said the evidence proved that Gen. Soukhomlinoff carelessly permitted war plans to lie about the room in his home, espe- cially in his wife's boudoir, where Herr Altschiller, an Austrian agent, had easy access to them. BOTHA DENIES ANNEXATION MOTIVE OF ‘AFRICAN CAMPAIGN Premier of Union of South Africa Defends Military Course in Libel Suit Against Critic. PRETORIA, Union of South Af- rica, Sept. 20.—Gen. ‘Louis Botha, Premier and Minister of Agriculture, testifying today in a libel suit he has brought against Sentaor Wolmarans claiming £5000 damages because of statements by Wolmarans in connec- tion with the South African cam- paign, declared that the campaign was not undertaken to annex or eventually possess the German ter- ritory, which entirely depends on the terms of peace. Gen. Botha added that had the Germans immedigstely surrendered the Southern ports and their wire- less stations he did not think he would have moved any further, be- cause these objectives were all that the imperial Government asked him to take. FARMERS FEED WHEAT TO HOGS Oklahomans Angry When All Com- modity Prices Are Not Fixed. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., Sept. 21. —Farmers in Woods, Blaine and other northwestern Oklahoma coun- ties are feeding wheat to hogs and horses rather than sell it at the price fixed by the wheat price-fixing commission, according to reports of county agents to the State Board of | Agriculture. armers are dissatisfied not so much with the price for wheat fixed by the Government, but because prices on commodities for their con- sumption were not fixed also. The scarcity of corn also is given as a reason for feeding wheat to stoch corn selling for more than the farm- ers can get for wheat. F. O. Watts, Speaking in the East, Says Appeal Should Not Be Alone to Patriotism, ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 21.—F, 0. Watts, president of the Third Nae tional Bank of St. Louis, spoke be- fore the Business Men's War Con- vention here yesterday on “War Tax- ation and Bond Issues.” He said only a few radicals, in and out of Congress, had shown a bias in con- sidering war taxation, and that tho majority had shown a desire to make the necessary adjustments with the least possible injustice ant to foster the greatest efficiency in productive- ness. He said it would be best to raise not more than 256 per cent of the excess requirements of the war by taxation.during the first year of the war, and to provide the remainder by bond issues. This is approximate- ly the proposal now before Congress. Later increases, if necessary, he said, should be made in such a manner as to reach all the people to a certain exten He said the bond issues should be made on a business basis, and that while another issue of Liberty bonds could be sold by an appeal to patriotism, it would be better to fix such an interest rate as to create a demand for the bonds as an invest- ment. When placed on a businegs basis, he said, the bonds should not be exempt from war taxes. Tax- exempt bonds, he said, disturb the market for other securities and in- crease the difficulty of obtaining cap- ital for railroads and industrial en- terprises. Watts declared the farmers, who have benefited most by war prices. have not been called on to pay any part of the tax levy. This, he sald, was due to cowardice of lawmakers, since the farmers areas patriotic as any other class. At least $10,000,000,000 will be re- quired annually, he said, for war purposes, and not busii.ess as usual, but unusual economies and produce tion will be necessary to provide that amount, through taxation and bonds.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH _ FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1917. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH — Negroes in Dice The police raided a gpm game in thé basement of 2321 Market street tast night and arrested 44 negroes. LETTER DISCUSSED LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this lotion for very litle cost if you admire a clear. soft and white skin. When this homemade lemon lo- tion is gently massaged into the face, neck, hands and arms daily, the skin becomes soft, clear and white, and | the;complexion dainty and attractive. What girl or woman hasn’t heard of lemon juice to remove complex- ion: blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the fresh- m and the hidden beauty? But lemipn juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with or@éhard white this way: Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two frash lemons into a bottle containing abdéut three ounces of orchard white, | then shake well and you have a) whole quarter pint of the best skin and complexion lotion at about the. cost one usually pays for a small jar of ®rdinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle; then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it really | does clear, smoothen and beautify the skin amazingly. ° Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion ladies can easily prepare and have an inexpensive toilet aid which per- | fectly satisfies their natural desire fora beautiful soft skin.—ADY. — Lin CLOTHES SHOPS -——_ vi St. Louis Boston.

FORAKER New York Prosecutor Shows Woman Whose Death Is Under | Inquiry Lost Large Sums With Dice, Mrs. Foraker Says. By Leased Wire From the New ‘ork | Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Mrs._ Katharyn Foraker, widow of the son | of former Senator Foraker of Ohio and once the intimate friend of Mrs. | Maude A. King, death at Concord, N. C., on Aug. 29, | 'is under investigation, came to New | York yesterday to learn that recent- ly plans had been fornted for ‘‘put- ting a quietus on her.”’ The letter in which these plans | were discussed did ‘not mention the means to be used. It did, however, provide what Assistant District At- torney Dooling considers information of the greatest importance, in view (of certain telegrams sent immedi- ately after Mrs. King’s death. _ Mrs. Foraker appeared both sur- prised and angry when, a few min- | utes after she had entered Mr. Doole ing’s office, the following document | was shown to her: “I will be ready to join all of-y ou ‘there just as soon as I have settled “once and for all and finally Buster (Mrs. Foraker), and let me impress upon all’ of you the importance of putting a quietus on Buster forever, ' which I will have to do before I get ‘away from — —. All of you can , keep in touch with me as per the above address and will know exactly ' what to do to meet any emergencies at any time of the day or night.” _ It was one of the individuals re- 'ferred to as “knowing what to do” who sent several telegranis within a few hours after Mrs. King died, the | Prosecutor said. Mrs. Foraker need- | ed no other stimulus than the let- |ter to make her a valuable witness. | Much that she said the Prosecutor refused to reveal. Light on Gambling. However, he did let it be known /that she had thrown a good deal of ) light on the gambling that took place in the Park avenue apartment of Mrs. King She said she had frequently shaken dice there, and, like Mrs. King, she was always a loser. She lost more ‘than $3000 at a single sitting and said Mrs. King frequently lost much | larger amounts than this. | The letter referring to Mrs. KFora- | ker will be one of the important doc- | /uments that Dooling will take to Con- cord this afternoon, when he goes to | be present at the second inquest Mon- | 'day into Mrs. King’s death. He will _be accompanied by Dr. Otto H.. Schultze, medical assistant to the Dis- , trict Attorney, and Capt. Jones, pistol ‘expert of the Police Department. , One of the curious things that, ,came to light yesterday among the. eee a wer eee —~ EE ———— ——— } a papers recovered from the apartnfent of Gaston B. Means was a list, partly in typewriting and partly in long- ‘hand, containing information about wealthy persons who were dead. There were 19 names on the list and after each was a notation such as “Wealthy,” or ‘Very wealthy.’ A number of curious letters came | to light yesterday. One of them, which it was thought might have some bearing on the ‘®econd will” of Mr. King, the authenticity of which | is questioned, reads as follows: | “I suggest that you look at the watermark on any paper of import-. ance you have.” | Dooling said he had finally ob-. tained the typewriter on which this. will was written. Apparently it was bought in Concord and shipped to New York. As the will was dated ir 1905, Dooling wants to leurn the cate of the typewriter manufacture and of its purchase. Worked for Germany. . More evidence of the _ interest which Gaston Means had in Ger- many came to light yesterday. Ore letter, written by him in May, 1916, | reads as follows: “IT was at Norfolk with —- ‘ — and ! —- «for the purpose of learning in |; the interest of the German Govern- ment whether the English men-of- war hovering off Norfolk were .t| being supplied contrary to interna- : tional law with provisions, coal, etc."’ There was also a letter written to Means in which the following ap- | peared: ; “Tl thought possibly vou cculd |! make some connection to Gell through your friend, Mr. Bernstorfr or some other German friend.” Dooling also examined a broke? -hame not disclosed—-from -anothe: city. who told of the heavrv losses sustained last February in the “‘W.

This simple remedy ea Olive Street ‘Positive He Manifestations of religious emo- tion quite different from anything occuring in the usual church and even more dramatic than Billy Sun- day’s most startling contortions, take place five nights a week at 3023 Olive street, where the Pentecost sect, commonly known. as “Holy Rollers,’’ have their mission. Lamentations and prolonged sup- plications to the Almighty, the cast- ing. out of devils in the name of Jesus and the praise of God with strange tongues and violent physical exertion mark the long service of increasing spiritual tengeness, end- ing in an anticlimax with a short, sparkling address by the unusual young pastor whose sportaneous hu- mor and visible happiness brings mirth and laughter in addition to earnest ‘“‘amens’’ from his devoted followers. The Pentecost Mission is the only “Holy Roller’ organization in St. Louis. Meetings are held at 8 o'clock each evening execpt Mondays and Saturdays. Fluent Young Pastor. The pastor is Ben Pemberton, 26 years old, remarkably athletic, ra- diantly and sometimes uproariously happy, clean cut, stron gfeatured, fluent talker, earnest and direct ex- pst of appealing personality, good natured to the point of heartily en- joying a joke on himeslf, leader ‘of the weird demonstrations of the wor- shipers, conscious of the _ ridicule heaped upon him, “proud of his be- lief and positive that he is not crazy.’’ ‘In his address last night, after an earlier exhibition of marvelous en- durance and strength in dancing, running, jumping, spinning about and shouting impulsively, he said: “You people may think I ought to be out on Arsenal street, but I am not crazy. I am just happy and when I get in touch with the Lord I can’t keep still. My feet just walk away with me. Honest they do.” Discussed His Sanity. At other points in his talk he re- ferred to the question of his sanity, insisting that his intellect was sound. His most proficient follower in the peculiar forms of worship and his superior in a particular dancing man- ifestation, whom he referred to as “Brother Phillip,’’ in a testimonial declared his belief: that neither he me * ee ee ee ee oe | aime 7™ AND OLIVE STTER CLOTHES _ Becond Floor—Take Elevator (224 NORTH SEVENTH ST. hk _.

S oeeeaneeeateenneneeemmmnmnetnell 2 ‘RBI HENRI BAZIN, A Special Correspondent of the Post- ‘ Dispatch. WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIBLD (by official courier to Paris post), Aug. 29.—On my way hack to American field headquarters from Paris, where I had gone upon a special professional errand, I made & wide detour and went by way of Verdun. I know Verdun of old and have seen it in all weathers this last year, and it is to my infinite regret that circumstances prevented my béing there in the days when “They shall not pass” was first incorporated within the language of the world. Now, I have been compensated. I . could write a book about the experi- : ences of the last 16 hours. Here there is but the attempted portrayal ef an impression—an impression of Hill 304. . At night it had,been raining, and -this morning when the rain ceased, the leaves upon nearly all the trees bordering the Meuse showed as if by miracle a yellowing tinge of au- tumn. For during the most of Au- gust the rainfall has been constant and the atmosphere as_of late Octo- ber. The earth is as if soaked with water and the mud is as slippery as if soaked in oil. | . We were but two, a French officer myself. With every step there the sucking sound of bootheel withdrawn from suction. We had been walking a full hour silently thrbugh a bayou with nothing but mud before us, mud under us, and a gray, gray sky overhead. A turn in pe trench, and its slightly higher vation permitted a sudden view of a familiar yet always unreal land- scape, a landscape of nothing else but shell craters partially or com- ‘pletely water-filled, new craters and ald craters, one displacing the other. _» ‘) Beyond lay our objective, Hilt $04, the Hill of History, the hill sur- iounting the city that a million rs from now will rank higher than | Thermopylae. Months ago I had looked upon 304 through the glass while the Boche still held it. Now. as I visioned it at closer range, it seemed lower, and it was red, the red of a dried, coagulated mass of biood. Out of the bayou we now ' ae our way, still in silence, t rough the cratered earth, for it was an hour when words would have seemed as mocking things. I noticed instance after instance that Dante did not mention in his Inferno only because he had no conception of Modern war. Dead With Smiling Faces. ' At my side, near enough to touch iL had I reached out my hand, I saw a» German helmet covering a dead fiéad, a head showing a blackened, wardontcally smiling face. Beyond, ming as if from nowhere out of e martyred soll, a pair of hands, Crisp and dead, and livid. ‘ One held a revolver. And but a little dis- tance away the half-fleshed skele- tan of a Prussian guard that a she!! had uplifted from its-rest in the grave, and thrown, as if mockingly, : upon the surface. 4 . “Three hundred and four” jis truly a vast, vast German cemetery. As i I remembered the reddish color [ : have mentioned as noting from a Gtstance, it flashed across me that the color was true, for the soil was genuinely soaked in blood and its Mature of reddish clay but a weak F synonym of true substance. The dead q re as close upon it as dried peas if in a bag.» One sees the places where + ey were buried months ago, the ‘ places where sheil-fire has disin- terretl them, the places where they are newly interred, and each grave i rubs the other, forms part of the _ ther, the whole hill an immense, te smelling charnel house. as J avons TSAO... et en es ee een mteline ae PR ct EIR EEL A OO I A Al 8 It beg- 4 ars descriptfon.

JACKSON, Tenn., Sept. 21.—-Three masked men late last night held up a northbound Mobile & Ohio pas- senger train at Finger, Tenn., 30 miles south of this city, detachéd the engine and express car from the other coaches and, after running the express car several miles, dyna- mited the safe. The railroad offi- cials say they obtained virtually nothing of value, as it is the custom not to handle currency or other val- uable shipments on night trains. One report here was that a ship- ment of $12,000 was deposited at Corinth, Miss.,. when the _ train reached that city early in the even- ing to be forwarded on _ another train. According to a dispatch from Fin- ger the men crgwied over the tender of the engine*and, with pistols, forced the engineer to stop the train a short distance from the station. Leaving one man to guard the en- gine crew, the other men held up the express messengers and, after uncoupling the car, compelled the engineer to proceed several miles with the detached car, where the safe was dynamited. The men then drove the crew from the engine and escaped aboard it. The passengers were not molested.

LABOR UNIONS HELP ALSO Supt. Ewing Lays Facts - Before Locals Who Require Me to Support Families. Eighty-two men who have been arrested during the last eight months in East St. Louis for wife and child abandonment are contributing to the support of their wives and children under the direction of J. K: Ewing, superintendent of the Humane _ So- } ciety, according to Ewing. The pvay- ments are made regularly, and are the result of a plan worked out by Ewing since he took the position a year ago. Previous to Ewing’s appointment there was no organized plan for mak- ing delinquent husbands and fathers support their dependents. They could be fined or imprisoned, but that only made it harder for their women and children. Moreover, the men could not be arrested if they left the State. : How Ewing Works Scheme. Ewing's plan is as follows: Upon | complaint by a deserted wife, Ewing obtains a warrant: If the man 1s ar- rested and his guilt is plain, the Jus- tice holds him for the grand jury on $500 bond. The prisoner is told that if he will support his family the charge will be held up indefinitely, but that the first lapse on his part: will resuH in the case going to the grand jury. The difficulty_of obtaining money from those who left the State was solved also. Ewing found that the labor unions almost always would force their members to send money to their. families to preserve thei good standing in the union. When they were not union men, Ewing communicated with thcir employers and laid the facts before them. There have been only a few instances where the employer did not co-operate. A man recently abandoned his wife and two children and went to an aviation camp in Nebraska to work. Government officials were informea less than a week he had made ar- rangements to send weekly payments home.

GENEVA, Sept. 21.—An official Austrian telegram from Landeck, in the Tyrol, says Emperor Charles and staff visited the Alpine outposts of the Austrians in the Trentino and that his visit took place since Sept. 15. After crossing the huge Ortler Glacier on foot and also the Trafoier Glacier, whose summit the Italians possessed, the journey. was contin-. ued on St. Elvio Pass, within 600 yards of the Italian trenches on th ice. A Lugana report, confirmed by Swiss troops watching on St. Elvio Pass, states that the Emperor and his staff narrowly escaped capture because the Italian commander was informed by an aviator that many automobiles were in the vicinity. The Italian troops thereupon § at- tacked and captured an Alpine: out- post, while the royal motor party fled down the St. Elvio route under machine” gunfire. The party, how- ever, arrived Safely at Prad and then proceeded to Meran. GOVERNOR QUIETS MOB AT JAIL — erent = ‘ Oe ee Te .

In that table it was stated that The United Railways Company pays only 6.35% of its gross carnings in taxes of all kinds. We corrected that error in an advertisement showing that the City Government alone each year levies on this Company in various taxes more than 9°% of our gross earnings and all other income. In spite of that correction the society in question persists in ublishing its erroneous statement. In order that there may be no doubt on this point, we here show you the exact amounts of this Com- pany’s gross earnings and other income, and of its total taxes paid for seven years past: Gross Earnings and Our New Third Floor—the day- light floor cover- ing 12.500 aq. feet —1olll surely meet oth your ap- proval We trim ali hats free when shapes and materials ar¢ bought at ou: Z 7 pe ity A> ane Seal te Aiea A _ . “ a —— a ss “The dull shrinking of soul which | to merge itself in the will of the herd 7 one experiences on perusal of war because driven by the fundamental —# iiterature bas its more extended instinct of self-preservation, but’ _#~=scournterpart in the psychology of the which finds itself in a different em- > soldier himeelf,” says the New York | phasis upon the individual as a part é | Medical Jou in an editorial, | of the social progress for which in a. “S&S Y _ “psychical Transformation in the large way this war is the sacrifice.” The only place ix St. Louis where you, can save $5.00 on your Suits is the Globe. | Come tomorrow. : $5) MEN’S GOOD CASSIMERE: 8.75 —*14,50 2 AS AQ nt RN ee So i eR i ae - ra — : ho ‘er aj > “This constitutes the minor strain through “A Psychological Study of the Soldier,’ from the pen of Charles Bird of Clark University, but a ma-. ‘jor note of triumph is sounded in the _, spirit of progress which, unquench- able, creates in the war zone new ayve- | nue for expression.

This paving outlay IS a tax, because it is an expenditure enforced by your City Government, out of street railway earnings, FOR NON- STREET RAILWAY USES. Our vehicles are the only ones which do not use the paving that your car fares are taxed to pay for.

Even the Tone of His Voice Was Not Changed. That President Grover Cleveland fin the last 15 years of his life wore an artificial left jaw made of gutti pereha is revealed in an article by Dr, W. W. Keen of Philadelphia i: this week's Saturday Evening Post, an‘account of which was published in late editions of yesterday's Post- Dispatch. Further details are here given. The operation was performed July 4,.1893, shortly after Cleveland's sec- ond’ inauguration. There were no sérious after-effects and the rubber plate which took the place of the President's jaw was so skillfully fit- ted that it did not interfere with his speech, or even change the tons of Ais voice. ~ From time to time in the last 24 years there have been many contro- versies as to whether such an oper- ation took place and whether, if per- formed, it was of a serious nature. Doctor Ends Controversy. Dr. Keen, with the approval of Mys..Thomas J. Preston, formerly Mrs. Cleveland, puts to rest all spec- ulation by now making it known that President Cleveland was threatened with cancer, of the mouth and that to stop the ravages of a malignant tumor an operation was performed by which almost all of Cleveland’s left. upper jaw was removed. This was done on the yacht Oneida, in the New York harbor. The operation was performed by Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of New York, with the assistance of Dr. Keen and Dr, John F..Erdmann. Others pres- ent at the operation were Dr. E. G. Jariéway, Dr. R. M. O'Reilly and Dr. Hasbrouk, a dentist. Drs O'Reilly and Hasbrouk administered the an-/| esthetics and Dr. Janeway kept a clog6. watch on the patient’s pulse and general condition while the sur- gical work was being done. - The President rapidly recovered, but a few weeks later it was found that all of the infected tissue had not -been removed, ant a second Operation was performed, also on the Oneida. Secrecy Was Maintained. The greatest secrecy was main- tained because of a grave financial crisis through which the country was then passing. It was feared that even a rumor as to President Cleveland being ill might cause a panic. ‘ As to the after-effects of this operation, Dr. Keen in his article @ays: “After the first operation, while thé President was at Gray Gables, Dr, Kasson C. Gibson of New York Atted Mr. Cleveland with an arti- Acjar jaw of vulcanized rubber. With in place, his speech was excel- Tént, “even its quality not being al- tered.. On Oct. 14 Mr. Cleveland, in a-letter to Dr. Gibson, expressed his jively satisfaction after trying a new and even better and more com- fortable plate made by Dr. Gibson “Ie went to Washington at inter- vals .several times afterward to ex- amine Mr. Cleveland’s mouth and never found anything wrong. These brief visits were always a great pleas- ure, at the time as well as in retro- spect, since I made the more inti- mate acquaintance of both the Presi- dent and Mrs. Cleveland and their lovely family. Thinks Secrecy Was Wise. “Now, after the lapse of nearly | &* Quarter of a century, it is even | more evident than it was at the time that the“instant decision of Mr. Oleveland himself, concurred in by his. professional advisers and such friéhds'as Secretary Lamont and Commodore Benedict, to keep the operation a profound secret was wise, and one may say imperative. What thé ‘consequences would have been had- it become known at once we can.only surmise and shudder! “Mr. Cleveland died June 24, 1905, 185 years after our operations. I was then in Europe. That he should Meve survived after the removal of a sarcoma of the jaw without local re- currence for so unusually long a pe- riod was a great satisfaction to Dr Bryant and his colleagues.” SEVEN PERSONS ARE HURT ~~ IN FOUR AUTO ACCIDENTS Alfred Pickel Cut on Head When “Two Cars Collide at Eighteenth “--" ‘and Locust Streets. Alfred Pickel of 3106 North Mar- ket. street was cut on the head and last night when an automobile in Which’ he was riding with Dr. ~ BE.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. \ ail —— LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. United Railways Finance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. A recent advertisement of the United Railways Company is most illuminating. It should be read by every citizen of St. Louls for it shows how the celebrated $60,000,000 valuation was arrived at. It also shows in- cidentally, how superficial were the whole proceedings which led up to the formation of the two pending ordinances. In 1911 the St. Louis Public Service Com- mission, which did such excellent work for the City of St. Louis, after a most careful and thorough investigation, found the val- ue of the Ratlway Company’s property to total but $38,000,000. The people have not geen any appreciable increase of extensions or other improvements in the rolling stock of the company and therefore have been justifieq in their surprise at the jump of $22,000,000 in valuation in so short a period. Mr. C. E. Smith, who is on the job for the city, explains how this came about. “In the time that has been available, we looked up all of the information that could be had on the property of the United Rail- ways Company that could be properly in- cluded in the capital account.” He then explains that he took the valuation of 1911 and added to it the amount of money spent on the property since that time. He did not state as to whether depreciation had figured into his estimates or not. As a matter of fact, he gives away his whole casein his rather weak explanation. “In the ti at has been available” is a very poor statement to excuse a possible charge of superficiality. The whole thing was put through in a big hurry and “the time that has been available” was not sufficient to arrive at any just conclusion, either of val- uation or the terms of the franchises, It would be interesting to know where these extensions, additions and betterments are that have added to the value of the property. It would be interesting to know how much depreciation there has been on the property since the original outlay in construction. To these things we have had no answer and have had no satisfactory explanation at all of the figure of $60,000,- 000, except that were the value to be placed at less than $60,000,000, the Company would have less assets than liabilities, due to the loose manner in which it has been financed. If the pending ordinances, with all of their vicious features, go through, 8t. Louis will be on a par with Pennsylvania cities as corporation-owned municipalities. The Terminal Association, the United Railways and their allies, will get a death grip on the city of St. Louls unless the people awake to the realization of what these ordinances mean. CITIZEN. Oe Putting the Audience on the Program. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The community is to be heartily con- gratulated in its possession of a musical director that has the nerve to put his au- dience on the program as did Mr. Fischer the other night at the Municipal Theater. Not that the audience, as a performer, was em- barrassed with success. As with most debutantes, it was self-conscious and stage struck. It was afraid of a too obvious dis- play of enthusiasm when it softly murmured in chorus “My Country” and “Suanee River.” But it was a beginning, and perhaps with larger experience—if Mr. Fischer will take us on again, and yet again—we may loosen the rein of heart and tongue and sing as though we meant it. So, keep it up Mr, Fischer. Don't be discouraged. Give us another trial. BELIEVER IN COMMUNITY SINGING. Reducing Cost of Milk Deliveries, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read your editorial in yesterday's paper concerning the milk problem in St. Louis and was impressed with your pointing out that it would be impossible to lay out the city in districts of the different dairies for the reason that people in all parts of the city prefer to buy a certain brand of milk which may not always be the brand represented by the particular dairy within whose district a family resides. In order to overcome this difficulty, why could it not be arranged for the different dairy wagons to carry brands of milk of other dairies for certain customers along the route who may prefer such brands? This would cause no trouble at all if the milk were delivered by independent deliv- ery wagons who would get their supply from the different dairies, according to the demands of their customers. There is no doubt that In each of the Gifferent sections of the city some certain dairy will be found to have the predominat- ing trade. With a little effort the city could be divided into districts to correspond with such trade predominance, and the rest would be merely a matter of mutual ar- 2,858 Daily and Sunday, 195, 985 TED PR featlon xclusively entit te tion os at news credit a ts credi in this a 7 Germany's harvests are bad.

The text of a part of a speech made by Mathias one of the interesting things that have recently come out of Germany. He was talking to the home folk of his own constituency and perhaps talked with a franker recognition of realities than he would in the Reichstag. He declared that a fourth year of war would add nearly $9,000,000,000 to the already staggering cost of the struggle in money and a daily sacrifice of 1250 killed—456,250 for the twelvemonth—to the already appalling loss of German lives. Whether he included further computations on the cost to the Teutonic allies and the sacrifice of Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish lives is not reported. He might properly have done s0. To this showing on the proposition that, how- sity under the Bernhardi formula three years ago, peace has become a biological necessity now to Germany, he added other details. The world’s harvests are bad, he said, by which he meant that in coal, fats and leather exists, he said, by which he meant that a shortage in those essentials ex- ists in Germany. The belligerents are facing great- er hardships during the coming winter than durf- ing all the past three winters put together, he said, by which he meant that one desolate belligerent, Germany, is facing such hardships. His plea that the Reichstag, before voting an- other mark in war appropriations, should seek a way to end the carnage was logically irresistible. The basis he proposed for the Reichstag’s effort— a peace not dependent on might and oppression— was also logical and admirable, but he qualified it with the condition that “nothing needful for the greatness of Germany” should be renounced. What Germany may now regard as needful for her greatness we have no means of knowing. It is certain, however, that she will never obtain peace until she renounces many of the things she has looked upon as needful to her greatness in the past. More important to her greatness than her schools and universities, her progress in science, her triumphs in industry and commerce, she has regarded the means of armed aggression on her neighbors. In fact, she has esteemed the really worth while things in her national system only in proportion as they contributed to her military power and the increasing strength of her navy. If she has drastically revised her notions as to what is needful for her greatness, the way to peace is open along the route indicated by the President and assented to by the entente allies. All she has to do is to uproot her military autoc- racy, institute responsible government and en- able the peace covenant to be made with her whole people instead of with her militaristic junta, which regards covenants only as scraps of paper. = = * — a GROSS PROFIT 100 PER CENT. There are 44 quarts of milk in 100 pounds. At $3.50 per hundred, the price the producers desire, a producer will receive 8 cents a quart. The St. Louis dairymen expect to get 15 or 16 cents a quart from the consumer. How many tradesmen can get their raw material and turn around and sell it at a gross profit of 100 per cent? Can the milk dealers justify this doubling of the value of milk after' being in their hands a few hours? a i i si THE OONVOY SOLUTION. There have been many dispatches in the news- papers lately telling of the effectiveness of armed convoys for merchant ships aided by auxiliary torpedo boat flotillas and the decreasing number of vessels sent to the bottom by submarines has given some substantiation to these reports. The promise in this method of circumventing the U-boats was pointed out months ago by the Post- Dispatch and other papers. He who runs may read the facts in the latest report of the British Admiralty on merchant ship casualties for the week ending last Saturday. Ac- cording to the official figures only EIGHT ships of more than 1600 tons were sunk during that period and 20 vessels of less than 1600 tons. The small number of big bottoms destroyed is a record for the seven months of ruthlessness. The explanation is simple. The larger ships ing smacks, small schooners and other diminu- tive draft. Accepting the average of the 20 smaller boats sunk as 1000 tons, the total loss in that group is equal to one large-sized steamer. Apparently one of the most successful solutions of the submarine problem lies in destroyers. The American Navy Department wisely discerned this some months ago. As a result a great number of destroyers will be built during this fall and win- ter. Undoubtedly there will never be enough de- stroyers built to protect all shipping, but if the 5000, 10,000 and 15,000 ton vessels can be assured the safety of the seas, the fangs of ruthlessness may be said to have been drawn. = = * —- = The price of catfish in Southern Illinois has gone up, probably in sympathy with the move- ment started by the milk producers in that ter- ritory. JULY 4 OBSOLETE? The way a British speaker, G. R. Parkin, took to ingratiate himself with a Chicago audience was to predict that in 10 years the Fourth of July will become an anachronism in the United States. Ten years is a long time to look ahead, espe- cially in a period when changes come with the bewildering rapidity of the present. It may be that 10 years from now we will all be loyally cele- brating the King’s birthday. But if a judgment may safely be formed from the traditional con- victions and unchanging sentiments of Americans in the past, we may be confident that the glad belief of some of the Britishers who swarmed over here with Balfour, that a temporary iden- tity of military aims with England necessarily in- volves a permanent identity in political alms and ideals and that the Declaration of Independence has been repealed by the declaration of war, will prove grossly erroneous. When Americans forget all that the Fourth of July means to them—even if they fail to observe it with an even greater patriotic fervor after the Erzberger, the Clerical party leader who has fig- ured in many peace discussions in late weeks, is } ever much war may have been a biological neces~ they did before—the United States will not be as good a place to live in as it has been during the decades = its rise to greatness. == * rw o--—_—_—_—-——- EXTENDING FOOD CONTROL. The resolution introduced by President Alod, for an aldermanic inquiry into the cost of milk distribution, is in line with the suggestion of Food Administrator Hoover that states and cities should aid in food control by suitable measures. In a telegram to Gov. Whitman, with regard to the New York food-control bill, he said: With regard to the pending legislation in New York, I think it is desirable to bear in mind that the Federal Administration can only undertake the control of a few great staples of nonperishable character, with a view to stabilizing interstate traffic, so that, in order to secure the maximum benefits from these arrangements and to serve in the same manner local questions in other communities, it is necessary for States and municipalities to have organizations extending the Federal administration. In the present emergency, with the cities threatened with prohibitive prices for certain foods, especially milk, self-preservation demands public investigation of the costs of production tnd distribution, and, if necessary, legislation in keeping with the spirit of the national Food Con- trol law. Some of the local dairy companies say that they will not disclose the cost of milk distribution. Under the charter, the city has full authority to compel them to do this or take the consequences. The city has the power, if necessary, to condemn their property and convert it to public use. Clause 9 of Article 1 of the Charter provides that the city may “condemn privafe property, real or personal, or any easement or use therein for pub- lic use.” And clause 11 provides that the city public utilities * * * OR ANY OTHER UTIL- ITY OF SERVICE TO THE CITY, ITS INHAB- ITANTS, OR ANY PART THEREOF.” So that it does not have to be a street railway or other “public” utility. “Any other utility of service to the city or its inhabitants” is sweeping enough to include milk plants and equipment. If this were not enough, clause 83 of the same article empowers the city: To do all things whatsoever expedient for promoting or maintaining the comfort, educa- tion, morals, peace, government, health, wel- fare, trade, commerce or manufactures of the city or its inhabitants. The distribution of food, especially milk, on which the city’s coming generation depends for its very existence, concerns the comfort and health of the city’s inhabitants, and the city must do “whatsoever is expedient” in the matter. In the plant, organization and experience of the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission St. Louis has the nucleus of a municipal milk-handling station, from which could be created a plant that could compete successfully with the private dairies. The babies must be protected, and if the milk handlers refuse to do their duty the city will have to use its charter powers to that end. THE ARMY OF RECONSTRUCTION. Behind the regulars, the militia and the new draft forces, is being formed another vast army, an army that carries no guns, wears no uniforms and is led by no brass bands. Yet this army will deserve as well by America as the battalions that cross the seas to bleed and die for the sacred ideals of the country. It is the army of reconstruction. It {s com- posed of individual units, many of which have no connection with each other, but their aim is the same—to take care of the returning soldier and to see that he occupies a useful niche in so- ciety after the war is over. To those who have traveled in Europe the sight of maimed war vet- erans begging in the streets or living on various charities is not uncommon. To make such a na- tional blot impossible is the work of the army of reconstruction. An idea of the scope of this force can be gath- ered from a recent step taken in St. Louis by several specialists in otology. It is known that due to the great use of heavy ordnance and high explosives on the battle front thousands of men are rendered deaf or partially deaf by shock. The St. Louis otologists are organizing classes to teach lip reading to those who cannot hear; in addition free treatment will be given to soldiers for whom there is a hope of cure. This is but an instance. Other organizations are preparing to provide artificial limbs, conva- lescent homes, positions for the blind and hope- lessly maimed. Unit after unit is being added to this army of reconstruction and generations to come will rise to call it blessed. = = * — a Count Karolyi, the Hungarian leader, is again crying for peace, and it is safe to say that his audience in the Central Powers is growing greater and more interested with each appeal. ‘= = ~~ we ORGANIZING THE CHILDREN. An inspiring work and one that promises much for future Americanism is that undertaken by the Junior Red Cross, The Children of America Loyalty League and kindred societies, formed in the past few months. The object of all the organizations is substan- tially the same. It is to instruct the boys and girls of the United States in the lessons of true patriotism, loyalty and sacrifice. The Loyalty League, for example, expects to do the greater part of its work through the public and parochial school classroom. The recent celebration by more than 100,000 St. Louis school children in honor of the anniversay of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner” was one of its steps in that direction. The organiza- tion at present is planning an entire course of patriotism for pupils. The Junior Red Cross, as the name signifies, is an auxiliary of the Red Cross. The parent or- ganization expects to instruct the children in sac- rifice—which, after all, is the loftiest form of pa- triotism and loyalty. The members will be re- quired to help relieve the suffering of the chil- dren in less favored countries by giving from their own bounty; they will be taught to give up their play time to prepare supplies for the soldiers in France and do any other work that their little hands and big hearts will permit. The value of the work of the children organiza- tions to the America of a few decades hence can- not be overestimated.

I am a Republican, and, of course, Gidn’t vote for Woodrow Wilson for President but I regard him as the greatest leader, the wisest statesman and the most versatile man in public life teday.. We com- plained of his “watchful waiting” policy during the Mexican trouble and we found fault with his seem- ingly hesitating disposition and what we thought was lack of firmness, but events have proven that he was right and knew what he was doing, and when the time came to act he was found to be the man of the hour. He acted promptly, and vigorously and ‘showed that he had an amazing knowledge of condi- tions and details. While we were accusing him of being weak and vacillating he was preparing for the great emergency that has been thrust upon him and he met that emergency with firmness and unflinching courage. He holds the confidence of the nation as no other man ever held it, and, by the way, he is clothed with more power and authority than any king or potentate or national ruler ever had before in this or any other country. And he is using this authority and power wisely, conservatively and conscientious- ly. Events have shown that the selection of any other man as a candidate for President, either at Baltimore in 1912 or at St. Louis in 10916, might have proved a national calamity. I am glad to see the leading Republican statesmen and politicians stand- ing by him in this great crisis, and am amazed that some of the Democratic Senators seem disposed to embarrass and hamper him in what he is doing for the country. ee | OUR WILL TO WIN. ‘UR wilt to win is half the battle won; Like Duty’s sentinel at aword and gun, It dominates the field by day and night, Backing the blow and bullet in the fight, Dogging the foe until his strength is done.

While no two of them seemed to need more money for the same thing, everybody still nced- ed it and a resolution to get it or feed the milk to the hogs passed with legends as ‘‘On to St. Louis!’’ a whoop. Banners bearing such ‘*‘They’ve Got che ‘Money!’’ and ‘‘Damned Be He Who Says Gold Enough!’’ indicated the temper of the meeting. HOLSTEIN HOLLOW, Ill—Uncle Zeph Moore, probably the biggest milk skipper in this county. says the $3.50 rate for milk will have to be accepted by the people of St. Louis or the city will have to go without milk. Uncle Zeph says the farmers have waited for somebody else to put up milk, just as wheat, corn, oats and potatoes have been put up »y the commission men and grain gamblers, and that they have finally resolved to do it themselves. Milk is the single farm product on which the farmer is not making a war profit. Uncle Zeph says the farmers don’t know of anything anybody in town is still selling to them on the old peace basis, and they can’t see why an exception should be made of milk. He made a suggestion that if the people who buy milk from the farmers want milk to go on the peace list, the way to bring that about is to induce the p*ople from whom the farmers buy to put something lite sugar and clothing on the same footing. He believes the farmers would meet such a proposal half way. Otherwise, what there . doing is what the little boy shot at. > Only one automobile was stolen in St. Louis yester- day. The mystery as to what becomes of them might be cleared by finding out who went fishing yesterday. ee | IN SIGNS.

Renew Old Silk Dress. UT a piece of cardboard the NEW remedy for burns, com- posed of paraffine, beeswax and white resin (turpentine) and costing only 15 cents a pound, has been devised by Di. Charles Augus- tus Behney. Following an investiga- tion described by Dr. Behney in the New York Medical Journal, the au- thor found that the best results were secured from this formula: Paraf- fine (melting point 40 degrees C.), 87 per cent; beeswax (yellow), 10 per cent; white resin (turpentine), 3 per eent. The high cost of ambrine is thus avoided, as paraffine supplies are not affected by the war. Dr. Behney says thie remedy relieves pain and diminishes shock; lessens toxic absorption from burns; does not cause sepsis; promotes the sepa- establishing of an experimental kitchen to investigate new ways of using corn, and pending its estedlishment he ts “doing Ais dit” by experimenting himself.

The Old Roman, who seems about ready to cash his first pennant as- set since 1906, yesterday won the toss for the site of the opening game of the world’s series and the only re- maining detail is for the White Sox to step out and clinch the American League pennant.

S jackets. In the boxing ring, Jimmy Conzel- | man, former Washington University football star, and Leo M. Dugan hold championships. Leo Witt, well known around the St. Louis fight clubs, turned over the welterweight belt to Dugan after having held it for three months. On the diamond the La Barge brothers, Charley and Vince, have entrenched themselves in regular berths and a torpedo couldn’t dis- lodge them. If all the American sea fighters turn on the Germans the way Conzel- man, Witt and Dugan have man- handled the members of the fistic fraternity at Great Lakes, Kaiser {Bll may as well toss in the sponge now. Leader Among 15,000 Men. To be champion among _ 15,000 sturdy American sailors is something of an honor, especially when it is considered that every one of the en- listed men in the navy has been picked for his physical fitness. Conzelman, in winning the title from George Emro of the Gunners Mate’s School, who had held the honor five months, also won the Ger- ard van Schaick cup for all-around excellence in the ring. The decision by Gunner Jack Kennedy, although close, Wag a popular one. It was a close battle at that, and Fim.ro, in accordance with regulations, vill be given a chance to regain his title, the bout to take place in two weeks. Dugan, less of a finished boxer than Conzelman, is of a more rugged type, relying on his bull strength for what he lacks in finesse. He is, how- ever, a clever boxer and possesses a wallop like a mule’s Kick. He, too, liad a hard time holding to his title when he appeared on the same pro- gram that put Conzelman in the limelight. Witt Gave Dugan His Title. Dugan's crown was handed over to him by Witt, who had defeated a reund dozen of challengers. Although Witt. had the edge on Dugan, when the pair met, the Irish scrapper sbowed by far more class than any of the other aspirants. Witt, retir- ing undefeated, magnanimously passed the belt to Dugan as the most able contender. Speaking of Conzelman, Ed W. Smith, sports editor of the Chicago- GREAT LAKES, Ill., Sept. 21. T. LOUIS boys at the-Great Lakes Naval Training Station are taking a lion’s share of the athletic honors among Uncle Sam’s bluce- American and well known as a ring- Side critic, said: “1 have never, in all my experience, seen a cleaner, more dazzling defnon- stration of boxing skill than the Con- zeiman-Emro championship bout. Conzelman, with tralning only as he has had in the ordinary bluejacket’s routine, could give some of the top- rctchers in the country a still battle. He has a wonderful head for ring generalship, backed by the real box- ing instinct. “If such a ring battle could have teen put on in Chicago, it would have been voted one of the seven wonders of the world.” Thousands Witness Ring Bouts. Although boxing has taken its place as the most popular sport at Great Lakes, a ringside crowd of from 7000 to 12,000 sailors and civilians being a regular turnout, baseball olds its own as the great American vyame among the seafaring men. * Charley and Vince La Barge have won the hearts of the future sea fighters through their skill on the diamond. Charlie is a second baseman and as been taking care of the position on the representative station team lke a regular Jack Miller. He has the reputation of being one of the best sacrifice hitters on the team so he occupies the second notch in the lineup. Cfficers who have followed the Na- tional League outfits are of the opin- ion that Catcher Snyder of the Cards hasn’t much on Vince or “Jinx,” as he is better known, when it comes to ilagging would-be base thiefs. Recently the sailors’ nine booked three games with the trio of City League finalists. Albany Park was beaten, and 80 was Waukegan, but Hummond, the City League cham- pion, toppled the jackies in a hot match In these tilts the work of “‘inx’” aroused favorable comment among the semi-pro sharps. The Mound City boys are assert- ings their superiority in athletics to such an extent in the camp that the Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Mitwaukee representatives have de- termined to give the “Show Me” dele- gation, composed of Conzelman, Witt, Dugan and the La Barge brothers, a merry fight for sport honors. The St. Louis addresses of the boys are: Leo Dugan, 2227 Franklin street; Jimmy Conzelman, $415 Hal- liday avenue; Charley and Vince La Berge, 3606 Cora avenue. on the foul lines as heretofore, al- though nothing was mentioned con- cerning this at the meeting yester- day. The last remaining doubt concern- ing what team will represent the American League in the big series may be dispelled tomorrow, although it has been a generally accepted fact for the past week that the White Sox were as good as “in.” Comiskey’s team opens the important three-game ferries with the Red Sox in Boston to- day. If the White Sox win two of these they cannot be dethroned as American League champions. How They May Finish. The Red Sox have 12 more games to play, the White Sox nine. If the former win every one of their re- maining contests the White Sox need win but two to cop. The race would then finish in this manner: Chicago NG bo a Su a ws Os 6 vse vce Thus the White ae may settle the fight beyond dispute by tomorrow night. If they win the first two gwames of the series Boston cannot possibly beat them out.

The Browns and Cardinals failed to fare very well in the annual draft- ing of minor league ball players which took place before thea arrange- ment of world’s series getails. Each local major league club drafted but one player, and it appears that the Browns hold the edge in the class of the only man they obtained. He is Pitcher Houck, who toiled this season for the Portland club of the Pacifie Coast League. -Houck is rot a youngster in one sense, as he ¥ as previously given a trial by Con- nie Mack, and then leaped to the lederal League. He was considered by more than one scout as the best pitching prospect in the Coast League this season. The Cardinals obtained two men in tle draft, but canceled on one of them, retaining their interest in Howard, an infielder who comes from the Martinsburg, Va., club of the de- furct Blue Ridge League. Some en- couragement for Huggins may be ob- tained in the fact that this is the same club that turned out Marvin Goodwin, TROOP B GRIDIRON EAM WANTS GAME WITH WASHINGTON Contest Would Be for Benefit of Red Cross and Soldiers’ Mess Fund. MANY STARS AVAILABLE University and High School Vet- erans in Squad Now Ready for Work. A new football eleven, the per- sonnel of which was announced yes- terday, gives some promise of devel- oping into one of the most formid- able teams in the city, despite its makeshift organization. This eleven will be made up from a score of members of Troop B, the cavalry branch stationed in this city. The gridiron strength of this squad may be guaged by the past performances of its players while attending univer- ities or local preparatory and high schools. A recent canvass for contributions players realized a sum of $300, which is being augmented daily. The en- tire squad of 22 men expects to be in uniform by Monday afternoon. The Troop B players have been at prac- tice for a week on their field at the encampment. Present intentions are to arrange a game with Washington University or one of the strong local high schools. The proceeds, it is planned, would be split 60-50 between the local Red Cross unit and the mess fund of Troop B. First Game Tomorrow. The squad will be divided into teams, captained by Jack Jeffries and Arthur Anderson, two former C. B.

The lineup would average close to 175 pounds. Soldan Plays Alumni. The first football game of the sea- son will be played tomorrow after- noon on the former Smith-Manual campus when the Soldan High School team meets the Alumni eleven of that institution in the annual game. The undergraduates will have no easy time in defeating the “grads” this year. Charlie Swingley, Archie Klein, Johnny Quinn, Le’s Speed and Pat Newman are a few of the former gold and brown stars who will come back for a day. The game will be started at 2 o’clock. Central Loses Weidlich. Another blow for Central High School. The latest loss suffered by Mike Walker, who is ty now hard- ened to disappointments, is the loss of Godfrey Weidlich, the former Smith-Manual star. Weidlich is a star end, captain-elect of the ba'sket- ball team and one of the best pitchers in the city. He matriculates to West- minster next wéek, where he should have but little trouble making good. Freshmen are eligible for the varsity at Westminster, so Woidlich will play football this season. Rain put a stop to ye'sterday’s pro- posed inaugural practice at St. Louis University. The candidates were told, however, to report for duty today. Amendment Failed. It has been learned that the Soldan athletic authorities tried to add an amendment to the recently passed in- terscholastic ruling stipulating that a student must have attended an in- stitution the previous semester be- fore he can compete in athletics. The proposed amendment was to make ex- ceptions of the students from Smith- Manual, C. B: C. and St. Louis Univer- sity. All but Soldan voted against the amendment. MUNICIPAL LEAGUE WILL CHARGE ADMISSION TO TITLE GAME ON SATURDAY At a meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the Municipal Baseball As- sociation held yesterday it was de- cided to charge an admission of 25 cents to the championship contests to be played tomorrow and Sunday between the Wagners of the Mercan- tile League ang the Ellermans of the Independent circuit. Acording to Rodowe Abeken, there are 1400 seats for which admission will be taken, while there also are 5000 which are free. About $1000 is needed to bring Kansas City and Memphis here. If this sum is raised, city clashes with Kansas et ee eeeee the inter- City and “a8 aaa earbeeesesescecoseecoqsenerele Four Rousing Cheers! ° gg gion the good old bugle, boys, the Brownies won at last!

The White Sox won the toss for the opening games of the world’s series. President Hempstead of the Giants called “heads,” which automatically forced the White Sox to take “tails,” as the half-dollar used had but two sides. After two false starts the coin fell tail side up with care. This fs regarded as a good omen by the Chi- cago scalpers, who will get “(first whack at the melon. How Come? A horse named Sixteen to One went over the other day at 7 to 2. Ought to change either the betting or the name of the nag. of 7 On the Milky Way. Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the dle, The cow jumped over the moon; The farmers all laughed to see the sport, And milk went up ten cents a quart. . . Just to prove that he can write something besides checks for the Red Cross, the Old Roman has written a baseball story for a Chicago paper. G») to it, Commy, more power to the old fountain pen. * Chief Bender igs of the opinion that the Giants will run second in the world’s series. The chief hasn’t been in the National League long enough to become acclimated. i Hal Chase, on the other hand, thinks the White Sox will be the runners up in the blue ribbon event. In Hal’s case, however, the wish is rrobably the great grandfather to the thought. Incidentally Prince Hal has just about broken the record by playing steadily on one team for two years without kicking over. the traces or making any long distance jumps. « * * Speculation is being indulged in as to who will be the hero of the next ‘vorld’s series. In our opinion it will be nobody but one Charles Old Ro- man Comiskey if he makes good on his promise to suppress the ticket scalpers. Alexander has won 27 games this year. This fact will give one an idee of where the Phillies would be if they had two Alexanders. They don’t run in bunches, though. * . 7 Pat Moran picks the Giants to win the world’s series from the White Sox. But, then, it must be remem- bered that this same bird picked the Phillies to win the National League pennant, indicating that Patrucio is not such a whale of a picker, after all. Nap Lajoie, whose hitting in the last two games with Rochester clinched the pennant for Toronto, played ball for 22 years before land- ing with a pennant winner. The ma- jor leagues are full of men today who could play hide and seek in Larry's shoes. CARDINAL GAME OFF; TWO BATTLES SUNDAY The opening game of.the series be- tween the Cardinals and Braves, scheduled to be played this after- noon, was called off shortly after 10 o’clock because of the cold and wet grounds. A single contest will be staxed tomorrow, with a twin bill on Sunday, starting at 1:30 o’clock. WOMEN’S GOLF TOURNEY. The annual women’s city gold tournament will be held over the course on the Midland Valley Coun- try Club, starting Oct. 8. Mrs. G. E. Mix is the chairman in charge. En- tries may be sent to W. F.

Rain again yesterday necessitated the second postponement of the Red Cross tennis exhibition matches. However, as Kansas City canceled its engagement for the exhibitions, for Saturday and Sunday, the visiting stars consented to remain here and play both days, all of which certi- fies that yesterday’s cloud had a sil- ver lining. It was announced that- yesterday's tickets would be good on Saturday. The program arranged by Fred B. Alexander for the two days puts the Strachan-Throckmorton match on Sunday instead of tomorrow. Miss Molla Bjurstedt, women’s national champion will meet Miss Corinne Gould, State and municipal title- holder, tomorrow, and play one of the visiting men on Sunday. In this match, her opponent will not be al- lowed to volley. Louisville also canceled its dates with the tennis troupers owing to the departure of Miss Browne for her chome and the consequent calling off of the match between she and Miss Bjurstedt. The players, with the ex- ception of Hardy and Strachan, will zo from here to Pittsburg, where they will be joined by Karl Behr and another Eastern player. The program is: Saturday Throckmorton vs. Hardy at 2:30. Miss Molla Bjurstedt vs. Miss Cor- inne Gould. Strachan vs. Alexander. Alexander and Hardy vs, Strachan and Throckmorton.

I F there’s any foundation for the threadbare saying that the “last shall be first,”’ the National League ought to win the world’s series. In the preliminaries yesterday they were a bad last. The two important matters in which they finished to the rear were (1) losing the toss for the opening game; (2) adopting cheap prices for world’s series seats. The first was an accident and can- not be charged to the league’s re- missness; but with the prices it is different. The American League, months ago, announced that it would figures in two. It carried out its plan. The highest priced seat in the grand stand, exclusive of boxes, at Chicago, will be $1.50—if the scalp- ers don’t get you. The same seat will cost you $3 in New York. w a 4 Time to Wake Up. The comparative price's in the two league packs for the big wames are: New Chicago.

BO wa 48 This affords considerable specula- tion among the fans as to why world’s series games that are worth only $1.50 in Chicago should cost $3 in New York, the same clubs per- forming. After the American League an- nounced its policy, some time ago, the National League took the matter of reducing world’s’ series prices “under advisement,” where it will continue to languish. It will remain comatose until a firecracker is ex- ploded under the old lady’s rocking chair. * Too Good to Be True. ee it almost time to nip that little canard about Christian Christiansen, and hig wonderful all- ertcund performance “in legs than one hour?” If it perambulates around the circuit much longer somebody may end by believing it. We don’t know what Christy ac- tually did, one day early this month, but we do know that he did NOT do some of the things that are still be- ing ascribed to him, to wit: TIME.
