CUB-COMMITTEE GIVEN POWER, — FIVE MEN TO SELECT A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. LEADING DEMOCRATS’ VIEWS. Practically Unanimous Belief That a New City Committee Is a Necessity. The State Committee has left the settle- gent of the question of reorganization of the city Democracy to a sub-committee composed of five members, namely, Chair- man Sam B. Cook of Mexico, Editor W. R. Painter of the Carrollton Democrat, who holds Virgil Conkling’s proxy; T. J. Ward and Thomas E. Barrett of St- Louis, and Thomas B. Love of Springfield. This sub-committee has the full power of the State Committee; that is, it has the au- thority to decide upon a plan of reorgani- gation and to put it into force in this city. The sub-committee will look into the sub- Sect with great deliberation, and will not act hastily in arriving at a conclusion. This is the most momentous question that has ever arisen in regard to the welfare of the Democracy of St. Louis, because the very foundations of the present organization are to. be changed in many respects. The sub-committee is not only hearing suggestions from city Democrats to-day, but the members of the sub-committee will call upon a number of prominent Democrats and advise with them privately. The ex- pressed desire is.to arrive at a precinct plan that will be fair and satisfactory. The sub-committee was called to order at 10 o’clock Friday morning, ‘n Parlor B, at the Planters’ House, by Chairman Cook, Tom Barrett and Tom Ward, the two Bt. Louis members, were absent. The meeting Was open and any city Democrat was ad- mitted and allowed to give his views on re- organization. Only a few Democrats were present, however. Sterling P. Bond of the Jefferson Club was the first to offer suggestions. He spoke in favor of the people voting directly for precinct committeemen, who, in turn, could select Central Committeemen. Mr. Bond epoke against the present Ryan pri- mer law, saying that only a rich man could afford to run delegations now. ‘Mr. Bond thought that precinct commit-. teemen would have to be elected under the gee primary law as the only legal way. e said that under the present system of party management the methods were not Only bad, but a number of the men jn con- trol were not up to the standard desired by the majority of the Democrats of the party. He believed a new plan of pre- cinct organization should be carried out “under a primary election around which should be placed the same safeguards that are found at regular State and city elec- tions. H. A. Hawes, acting as chairman of a committee from the Jefferson Club, gave the views of that organization as express- ed in resolutions. He said a precinct plan should be adopted, and the preeinct com- mitteemen should be elected by a direct vote of the people; then these precinct committeemen could assemble in conven- tion ‘and elect a man to represent a ward on an Advisory Board to act as the cen- tral body in the city. Mr. Hawes said no matter whether the present City Committee was guilty of the charges of inefficiency and incompetency or not, it had lost the confidence of the —. Under the present system, too, the entral Committeeman gave his fiat in a ward and anybody who opposed his boss- ism was sat upon. Public sentiment was arrayed against the present City Commit- tee, and it should be abolished and a new committee under a precinct plan be se- lected if any enthusiasm was to be ex- pected in the spring amet Pigg He thought 2 new committee should be elected at Tom Cannon of the Jefferson Club said the party had no confidence in the present City Committee, and therefore it could not collect funds to run a campaign. He thought the party, as well as the City Committee, should be reorganized. Chairman Cook remarked that the State Committee only had the power to adopt @ plan, and the party in the chiy would have to elect the men wanted. Mr. Cannon replied that if the State C.mmittee would only give the city a pre- cinct plan to be carried out by direct vote, the people would turn out and elect good » nen. James W: Brown of the Nineteenth Ward said the Democracy would never carry St. Louis while the present primary law was in force, because the money could not he obtained to put up the delerations. He aid that under the old system of years ago the Democracy carried the city from the time of the Scheme and Charter down to the election of William Ewing. He be- lieved the party should return to that old system. Dr. Parrish spoke in favor of what, (ger vo tion on any procinct plan that would give the people some rights. Orville Smith proposed that one precinct committeeman be elected in each precinct @t the regular primary election for the next ty Convention, and that the present City Committee be retained as an Advisory , but that the precinct committeemen should have the authority to remove any member of the City Committee whose work Was unsatisfactory. The 426 precinct com- mitteemen would act as the City Commit- tee. anticipation of tha objection that guen & committee would be unwieldy, Mr. or ith said that any Member who could not he ent could be represented by proxy, same as is the custom in the State ohn Lindsa y, ex-Chief of the F - an heartily indorsed Mr. Smith's omas Ryan of the Knights of Lab orkingmen’'s rents ae.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, petition hag purely as a enterprise. NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—After years of quiet but persistent effort the clothing manufacturers of the country have organized a combine, to be known as the National Clothiers’ Association. It wag born in this city Wednesday night at the Savoy Hotel. The manufacturers from every important trade center in thé country had been in conference several days and the competitive rivalry of years was buried in a scheme for combination, The officers elected are: Sam’! Rosenthal, Baltimore, President; Alfred Hock- stader of New York, Finst Vice-President; Adolph Nathan of Chicago, Second Vice-President, and Jacob Scheuer of Cincinnati, Treasurer, The importance of this new combination is revealed in the fact that the firms pledged to the scheme have an annual output representing $350,000,000. It is generally admitted that no gingle industry in this country employs more capital or labor than the manufacturers of clothing. The only avowed purposes of the combine are to do away with long credits, excessive dating and the cancellation af orders; to influence legislation in the interests of the trade in general, and to promote harmony where rabid com- retofore prevailed. According to the organizers it is to serve ard of Trade, so to speak, for the clothing industry. They assert with vehemence that pricag are not to be tampered with, and that each manufacturer will be at liberty, as heretofore, to conduct his busi- ness as he pleases. These gentlemen also say the association does not propose to take action in labor difficulties; but the effect of this assurance is somewhat marred by the character of debate among the manufacturers preceding the adoption of the constitution. The upshot was a decision to submit the constitu- tion to the clothing associations of each trade center for their views. majority favored having the constitution as free from detailed definition of purposes as possible. By this the way will be left open for any form of combine The The new organization promises to fight the present law of preference in assignments, and will support the Torrey national bankruptcy bill. =e the city convention could elect a new City Committee to be at the head of the party after the spring campaign is closed. * Gov. Campbell ite ws the State Commit- tee had the power to enlarge the present City Committee, but he doubted if ‘the State Committee had the right to call primaries to elect precinct committeemen, Chairman Cook asked why, if the State Committee had power to appoint a portion ofa City Demanittes. it couldn’t appoint an entirely new committee? Gov. Campbell replied that when the State Committee recognized a_i city committee it should put trust in the latter, and the City Committee would be the prop- er body to call the primaries. He would give the people a voice by allowing the en- larged City Committee to call primaries where precinet delegates would be sent te the next City Convention. Chairman Cook said the desire of the State Committee was to adopt a plan to give the people a chance to carry out @ reorganization, and intimated that the State Committee could go no further than to afford primaries to elect precinct com- mitteemen and thereby place the final re- sponsibility on ‘the party in St. Louis. Charles T. Noland did not agree with Or- ville Smith’s plan of allowing the present City Committee to remain as an advisory board; otherwise he agreed with Mr. Smith’s plan. Mr. Noland believed the present City Committee should be wiped out of existence. He was confident that the State Committee’s power was supreme in party affairs, and that it could legally call primaries for the election of precinct committeemen. He would have the people elect one committee- man in each precinct, then these 426 precinct committeemen in the city could meet and elect eighty-four men, three to a ward, to act as u Central Committee. A number of good men were in the present City Commit- \tee, and they might be elected to a new com- mittee, while the inefficient men would be weeded out, Joseph W. Falk, First Vice-President of the Jefferson Club, spoke ‘in favor of the State Committee’s calling primaries im- mediately for the election of precinct com- mitteemen. Such an election could be held and a new City Committee be at work within ten days or two weeks. R. T. Brownrigg of the Jefferson Club favored the same action. The meeting adjourned at 12:30 until 2 o'clock p. m. NO SUBPOENAS ISSUED. Messrs. Higgins and Brady Will Round-Up Their Own Witnesses. Deposittons in the case of Ed Butler ve. Hugh J.

A Georgia Mob Hangs Negroes Who Were Suspected of Assassinat- ing Mrs. Rowland. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jar: 22.—A dispatch from Jeffersonville, Ga., says the jail at that place was broken into this morning by an armed mob and two negroes, Willis White and Charles Forsyth, were taken out and hanged. Both bodies this morning dangled from the same limb and both were perforated with bullets. The negroes were accused of the assassination of Mrs. Row- land at Adams Park. FOUGHT TO THE DEATH. An Exciting Contest Between Two Cir- cus Leopards. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—There was an exciting fight to the death between two large male leopards confined in a cage of the winter quarters of Lemon Bros.’ circus at Argentine. The leopards had been on un- friendly terms for several days, but Keeper Fisher was able to control them. When the fight began there was a scene of the wildest pandemonium, the other animals joining in the hubbub. Circus employes from all over the building ran to the men- agerie room. They saw “Zerke,” the win- ner of the battle, standing over the dead body of “Spot.’’ The victor was sucking the dead leopard’s blood. Keeper Fisher explains that a display of unusual vicious- ness made by the animals is caused by their being fed on horsemeat. PUBLIC DEFENDER. A Court Office Which Women Want Created in New York.

The home of John Malloy of 1710 Division street was put in ship shape early Tues- day morning in anticipation of a visit from John’s aged mother, Mrs. Bridget Malloy. The visit was not made. Mrs. Malloy started to John’s house, but she never reached there. Thursday afternoon John found his moth- er’s body on a slab at the Morgue. 4 Up to the time of the accident which re- sulted in her death and her subsequent nar- row escape from a pauper’s grave, Mrs. Malloy resided with her son, Anthony Mal- loy, at 5118 Magnolia avenue, Anthony is foreman of the Smith-Davis Manufacturing Co.’s plant and is well to do, Though 65 years old, Mrs. Malloy was in the habit of visiting the homes of her three other sons at least once @ month.

He was sure it was his mother. The policeman said she had been taken to the hospital. John went tto the City Hospital Thursday morning. His mother was not there. He made a trip to the City Dispensary, where he learned that an old Jady answering his mother’s description had been sent to the Female Hospital Tuesday morning. He hastened to the Female Hospital, thinking to claim his injured mother and nurse her back to health. He was overcome when Supt. Crossen told him his mother was dead. He asked for the body. Dr. Crossen told the son his mother’s body had been taken to the Morgue for identification. John notified his brothers George and An- thony by telephone and hastened to the Morgue. He was met down town by his brothers and together the three went to identify and claim their mother’s body. Already preparations were going forward to have the body removed ta Potter's field.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. DEXTER, Mo., Jan. 22.—The discovery has been made that J. N. Patterson, ex- Sheriff of this (Stoddard) county, is short in his accounts about $2,500, and numerous suits are in course.of preparation to compel him and his bondsmen to make up the sev- eral amounts colleoted through legal pro- cess by Patterson for other parties and converted to his own use. This fact came to light through the- de- mand of the Addle Goldman Commission J. N. PATTERSON. Co. upon the bondsmen of Mr. Patterson to settle a balance of $390 due them on ac- count of an execution collected by the ex- Sheriff, which amount had never been turned over to them. Patterson went out of office early in Jan- uary, and his shortage was a surprise to the people. He was a good officer and has made several important captures of desper- ate criminals in this and other States. Dis- sipation was hia besetting sin, and it {is this act that caused his downfall. His bonds- men asked ¢he Circuit Court to release them from his bond about a year ago. It complied with the request. Patterson, how- ever, made a new bond and took the Keeley eure. He broke over a few months ago and has been drinking at irregular intervals ever since. He treats his shortage in the coolest possible manner, and it seems ito give him little or no concern.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—A bill of vital interest to every voter in the State of Missouri was introduced in the House this morning by Representative Bohart of Clinton County. It is an amendment to the corrupt practices act placed on the Siat- utes through the efforts of Congressman Cochran of St. Joseph, when he was a mem- ber of the State Senate four.years ago. Omitting the enactment clause the bill is as follows: ’ Sec. 4A—Any person entitled to vote at any élection in this State shall on the day of such election be entitied to absent himself from any services or employment in which he is then en- pogee or employed for a period of four hours tween the times ot opening and closing the lie; and such voter shall not, because of s0 himself, be liable to any penalty, nor shall any reduction be made on account of such absence from his usual salary or wages. ovided, however, that his employer may spec- ify the hours during which such employe may absent himself as aforesaid. Any person or corporation who shall refuse to any employe the privilege hereby conferred, or shall dis- charge or threaten to discharge any employe for absenting himself from his work for the purpose of sald election or shall cause any em- Dloye to suffer any penalty or deduction of Wages because of the exercise of such privi- Bege, or wht shall directly or indirectly violate the provisions of this section, shall be deemed ility of a misdemeanor, and on conviction ereof be fined in any sum not exceeding $500.

Representative Bohart, who is respon- @ible for the foregoing bill, is one of the youngest, brainiest and “most aggressive members on the floor. of the House. Mr. Bohart was also the author of a resolution 6everal days ago which called upon the rep- resentatives of the State of Missouri in grees to use their best efforts in secur- ing the recognition of Cuba. STREET RAILWAY BILL. Representative Ward Feels Confident of Its Passage. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—On Jan. 2 an important meeting of the Ways and Means Committee will be held for the pur- pose of taking action on the street railway assessment bill—a measure that is of great importance to St. Louls and Kansas City, as it applies only to cities of 100,000 popula- tion and over. Reptesentative Ward of Stoddard County introduced this bill, and he ig also chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. To the Post-Dispatch corre. epondent Mr. Ward expressed himself as confident of the peeennr. of the bill in the House, although he said he anticipated some very energetic lobby work against it. AVERY’S BILL. There Are Several Stumbling Blocks in Its Way Yet. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan, 22—The Avery fellow servant bijll, which was re- ported favorably by the Committee on In- ternal Improvements, as told in the Post- Dispatch yesterday, will be called up in the House for final passage within a short time. Under the new House rules it is possible to push the passage of any bill more rap- idiy than under the former rules. The aoey bill has rears e oy start, but ere are many pitfalis in Ww The Senate, for instance. Oe yet. There has been no outward indication of wenatorial opposition yet, but the Hight in the Senate is not on in earnest. The initial House skirmish resulted in the defeat of the lobby. But that defeat is not @ guarantee that all will be smooth sail. ing for the fellow servant bill in the fut- ure. However, a logical forecast of the situation as it now exists Warants the pre- diction that the bill will pass the House. In fact, the sentiment time a genuine fellow servant bill has been ceverably by a committee. History # that many good bills have been iIlied even after passing the House. _ Chairman Lee of the Committee on In- al Improvements made an effort in the Use yesterday to have all of the sten- waraphic notes on the «epeeches made at the fellow servant meeUing the night previ- @us transcribed and printed, Representa- Na Als tar a PO i a i aay Sn ee ye tee uae Sh ge UP eS a Ge ee ae ae 7. - me Be tive Erman of St. Louls moved to table the resolution, and the motion prevailed. The expense of printing was cited as the rea- son for not Lee’s resolution. Representative satisfied w the Avery bill since he has received assUrance that it will include his constituents, Representative Whitecotton says that his bill is a good One, and that it is to be par- ticularly commended by reason of its brev- ity. The Whitecotton bill will probably be introduced in the Senate. No objection is being urged against the manner in which the Whitecotton bill is drawn, but the old- time fellow servant legislators incline to the belief that it is the safer proposition to stick by the Avery bi*, which bears the indorsement of the beneficiaries of the bill in case it becomes a law. RAILROAD RATE REDUCTION. Two Bills to Be COonsidered Next Wednesday Night. Special tc the Post-Dispatch. JEFFBRSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—Next Wednesday night has been set apart by the Committee om Internal Improvements for special consideration of the bill providing for a reduction in passenger rates on rail- roads. This is the same committee to which the fellow servant bill was rederred, and which made a favorable report. It is given cut that the meeting will be open, and that representatives of either side will be in attendance. This will have a tendency to enliven the meeting, and there may be a3 lively a time as there was at the fellow servant meeting last Wednesday night. Soon after the committee disposes of the passenger fare bill, the freight bill will be taken up. They were introduced separately. It is stated by the members who advocate the reduction that the rail- roads will concentrate all efforts to defeat the passage of the freight bill, considering it more important from their standpoint than the passenger reduction. There is a strong probability that the pas- senger bill will pass the House. One rea- son for arriving at this conclusion, so the members say, is the fact that cf all the nu- merous petitions sent in by the citizens of various counties, reference is made to the passenger rates, while nothing is said about freight. This oversight on the part of the petitioners, it is feared, may result in some of the members, probably willing enough, but indifferent, paying but little attention to the freight bill, on the theory that it is not so important as the reduction of passen- ger fares. Legislators who have made a study of the situaticn unite in saying that the freight bill is of equal, if not greater, importance to the people than the passenger bill. It count the names on all of the petitions pray- ing for atwo-cent fare. Nearly every coun- ty in the State has been heard from, and still the petitions come. Representative Avery is one of the members who is ex- nected to lead the fight for the people in the ouse. Members to l@ad the other side are scarce.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 2.—The State Auditing Committee submitted its re- port to the Legislature yesterday. The re- port is a voluminous document and is re- plete with statistics and suggestions. The Auditing Committee appointed during the administration of Gov. Stone is com- posed of ex-Senator Theodore Gash of Clay County, ex-Representative W. H. Odneal of Mercer County and ex-Representative Hen- ry S. Julian of Kansas City. One of the most striking features of the report is a recommendation that a State printing establishment be located and main- tained at the penitentiary for the purpose of doing State printing and publishing school text books. his suggestion has already at- tracted the attention of the Typographical Union in this city and will doubtless be acted upon by unions throughout the State. It is not believed that the plan will ever mate- rialize. All of the State officers are complimented for the manner in which their records are kept. However, it is recommended that stricter attention be paid to itemizing ex- pénse accounts. A change is recommended: in the date of the beginning of the fiscal year, and it is suggested that it date from July 1 to June 30. The committee recommends that the grain inspection department be separated from the office of Railroad Commissioners, leav- ing the appointment to the Governor. Relative to the subject of criminal costs the committee finds this item to be excessive and recommends that radical measures be taken for reduction. SCHOOL BOARD BIL. Civic Federation Measure Explained by Dr. Boyd. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—A meet- ing of the St. Louis delegation in the Legisl]a- ture was held yesterday afternoon, at which a majority of the St. Louis Senators and rep- resentatives were in attendance. The pur- pose of the meeting was to listen to an ex- planation of the Civic Federation school board bill by Dr. Boyd of the St. Louis Civic Federation. Dr. Boyd, in his clear, forcible style, went through the bill by sections and made a very complete explanation of it. The bill is now sy tg having been introduced in the ouse by Representative Dyer of De Kalb County and in the Senate by Senator Peers of Warrenton, It is likely that the meetings of the St. Louis delegation occasionally will become a permanent fixture of the legislative session, for the discussion of matters pertaining to the welfare of the city, from! a non-partisan standpoint. Dr. Boyd left for St. Louis this afternoon, H. MARTIN WILLIAMS Succeeds Roy as Reading Clerk of the House. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—H. Mar- tin Williams was appointed as reading clerk by Chief Clerk Green yesterday afternoon to succeed Sid J. Roy, who resigned on account of throat trouble. It is understood that Mr. Roy will be cared for in some other capacity. One recommendation largely in his favor is the fact that he is particularly familiar with all of the routine process of the House and is, therefore, a valuable man in almost any capacity on the chief clerk’s force.

JDFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan, 22.—The feature of the House proceedings this morn- ing Was a somewhat spirited discussion over Representative ‘Harrell’s separate coach law proves that ali railroads fn this State shall provide separate apartments for white and colored passengers, e debate was provoked by reason of an adverse report from the Committee on In- ternal Improvements and the presentation of a substitute.

Some of them declared that the war is over and the race question should not be agitated. Others set forth the embarrass- ment incident to the promiscuous mixture of whites and blacks in traveling.

The term of office of the Comptroller of the Currency is five years, and as nis pretent term began on April 12, 1893, it is very robable that Mr. Eckels will continue in his present position at least until 1898.

The time has come when the nations of the world should turn their attention to the settlement of differ- ences by peaceful methods instead of a re- sort to war.”’ At the same time, Mr. Sherman said, the ttreaty was one involving such grave consid- erations that it should have the most care- ful, mature and dispassionate consideration. That was the present purpose of the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations and the mem- bers of that committee were able to take up the treaty and consider it article by article with the greatest care. It would not be proper, said Mr. Sherman, for him to say what the result would be, even if he knew, But it was certain that the committee would proceed with all speed compatible with the interests involved. There was no purpose (to postpone or delay action. “Albout how long has ‘tthe consideration of the subject proceeded between the Secre- tary of State and Lord Salisbury ?’’ inquired Mr. Allison (Rep.) of lowa. - ‘Certainly for a year, if not longer,” an- swered Mr. Sherman. “Mr. Gresham took an active part in the early negotiations.” Mr. Hoar further explained that the ques- tion had been up in one form or another for twenty years. Mr. Gladstone had made a speech on it in the House of Commons twenty-five years ago. A delegation came from England ten years ago bearing a re- quest from a majority of the members of Parliament favorable to arbitration. The delegation was entertained in Boston and there was favorable response to their effort throughout this country. THE DEMOCRAT WON. The House Decides in Favor of Tucker of Virginia. WASHINGTON, D.

Persistent ertirt by the Newspapers to Throw Doubt on the Gom- mittee. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 2.~The House committee to investigate the metropolitan police systems of this city and St. Louls organized and began its labors at the Mid- land Hotel here to-day at 9 o'clock. Its members are as foliows: W. 8S. Pope, O. H. Avery, C. A. Dougherty, T. B. Hood, 8. Davidson, A. 8. Prather and Harry Clymer, and the committee is attended by Sergeant- at-Arms Vernon and George Zollinger, stenographer. The personnel of the Investigating Com- mittee ig such as to inspire confidence that its work will be fearlessly and thoroughly performed without partiality or prejudice. The attitude of the goldite press of the city is hostile to the committee on account of its supposed sympathy with the free sil- ver element of local Democracy. The impression has been sought to be created by the Times an Star that such men as Avery, Pope, Dougherty and the other members of the Investigating Committee will violate their oaths by making oniy a superficial examin- ation, but with poor success. The people of Kansas City are looking to the commit- tee for a searching inquiry and its verdict will be accepted as the true state of affairs. The local police force will be examined, as there are three separate and independent investigations going on, the Grand-jury, the House Committee and the Senate Com- mittee. It is unquestionably a game of bluff and politics.

HANNA WILL HAVE A FIGHT. Charles Foster Is Out for the Place and Various Influences Oppose the Chairman. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBUS, O., Jan, 22.—The legis'ative banquet to-night is going to be the most interesting political event of recent times in Ohio. Hanna is going to make the fight of his life, to show that he is solid with the legislators for United States Senator, and thus hold a club over the head of Gov. Bushnell and force him to appoint the big boss. In this Hanna is going to have unusually etrong opposition. Several elements. will unite in a general desire to thwart his ambi- tion. Foraker will be here to lead the forces. Gov. Bushnell will lend a helping hand. Foraker has an old debt to settle against Hanna and Bushnell would like the Sen- atorship himself. In addition to these in- fluences is a general feeling among the country members against the vulgar as- sumption of money power on the part of Hanna. Perhaps, however, the most potent fac- tor he will have to contend with is the ri- val candidacy of ex-Gov. Charles Foster, who ig out fairly and squarely for the lace. In an interview at: Cleveland Gov. oster said yesterday: “To be a United States Senator from Ohio has been the cherished ambition of my life. I gave it up in 1881, pefusing to be @ candidate against Mr. Sherman when I was Governor of the State, and again in 1892 I used all my endeavors to keep Mr. Sherman in his office, at least until the election of that year was over. If Gov. Bushnell should turn his eyes toward me to fill the vacancy for the next two years, I can’t deny that would be gratifying. “As to the length of the term, all I can Say is that I-have no desire for a long pe- riod of service. I should certainly not be a candidate for re-election.” Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor is also mehtioned as a possibility in this con- nection. Some people at Washington are intimat- ing that Hanna's ambition is to be Presi- dent. Lyman J. Gage of Chicago, mentioned for Secretary of the Treasury, fights shy of the idea, saying ‘you to arrest my husband,’ she said. “He age sy 1 me by pounding my ead ew ¥ neat, santa to the Third District Wilsun was take was charged in Police the peace.

St. Louis is hoping for advantages in the Western grain export trade from the fact that water rates via the great lakes and the Erie Canal will hereafter dis- criminate against Chicago. But this advantage is remote. The gen- eral improvement of the Mississippi River is vital to its gsuecess, an mot many weeks since an offer of co-operation from New Orleans to St. Louie with that end in view was rejected. The committee of _ the Merchants’ Exchange which took that action may not have represented the sen- timent-of the general body. But it spoke oficial) and its action has gone wpn- challenged. Galveston is a greater rival of St. Louis than is Chicago in the matter of grain shipments, The bulk of Chicago grain comes out of territory in no way tributary to St. Louis, For some years to come, at least, we must compete with Galveston, not through New Orleans, but through the Southern Atlantic seaports, with all of which we have quick rail communica- tion, but to reach which all our business must pay an export duty at the city gates. —---e © —-—— THE PASSING OF PEFFER. The retirement of Peffer from the Sen- ate will occasion no regret. The ease with which he was put out of considera- tion for re-election in the Kansas Popu- list caucus shows unmistakably that he was no longer in touch with his party or the principles it represents, and that he contributed nothing to its recent victory in the State. Senator Peffer may have been, and probably was, honest in the abstract sup- port of principle. Biit he was weak in action. He was a self-seeker first of all, His alliance with the Republicans, which @ave that party control of the Senate offices a few years ago, followed by the bestowal of patronage upon members of his family, shook the confidence of his party im his integrity. For the honest Populist is quick to see that the greatest foe to the success of his cause is the Republican party. Against that party he is always armed, He is willing to give it no point of vant. age, however small, and he regards with distrust any of his leaders who will make terms with it. Peffer’s successor is a mam unknown to the country, but we venture the assertion that he will be more effective in the people's cause than Peffer has ever been. He certainly oould not be less so. TROUBLE IN ILLINOIS. From that excellent Republican author- ity, the Chicago Tribune, we gather that the Republican party of Illinois is split from center to circumference. And all because of the election of William E. mn, as good a Republican as. ever vored a high tariff, a national bank is. eve or @ railroad subsidy. . The Tribune is not so much enraged because it Was Mason as because it was mot Hitt. It declares, we believe with @uthority, that Gov, Tanner is just as mad ag it js iteelf. And it proteeds to gay that the men who are responsibie for Mitt's defeat will be crushed by the new | APRA ee septied cntiretz oussice of Cook County, which is hereafter to rum Republican politics in Illinois, The Tribune says more, A new appor- tionment fs to be made this year and Tanner will make it. And legislators and Cengressmen who have contributed to this dire result will find themselves put in districts where their chanceg of con- tinued party preferment will be like unto that of the icicle in Hades. And, as for the Chicago machine men, let not one of them show his diminished head in any Chicago or Cook County convention if he is not seeking personal disfigurement. “Tanner,” says the Tribune, “never shirks a fight and seldom loses one.” But Tanner is only the voice and hand of Cullom. And Cullom always shirks a fight. silent TAXING STREET RAILROADS. Chairman Ward of the Ways and Means Committee has introduced a Dill in the House, at Jefferson City, which embodies the suggestion recently made by the Post- Dispatch regarding the assessment of street railroad property. It provides for the more uniform assessment and taxa- tion of street railroads in cities having 100,000 inhabitants or over, thus making it applicable to St. Louis and Kansas City only. The Post-Dispatch thinks that the scope of the law might properly be broad- ened, so as to include all street railroads in the State operated by cable or elec- tricity, But, if passed in its present form, it will remedy one of the grossest in- equalities in taxation that now exists in Missouri. No kind of property has increased so greatly in value during the last ten or fifteen years as that of the street railway companies. Much the larger part of this increase of value comes from the market valuation placed upon franchises which were obtained by the companies as a free gift or for trifling compensation, and for which they make practically no equiva- lent return in the way of taxation. Nor has the limit of their value been reached. The shrewdest among the large capitalists of this country and Europe are eagerly seeking opportunities for invest- ments in street and suburban railways. Within twenty years—probably within ten years—all the territory within ten or twenty miles of the lamge cities will be ramified by electric ca® lines, and all cities and towns lying close together will be connected by them. Vast fortunes have already been made by exploiting street railway property, and they are still being made. There is no property, therefore, that can with greater propriety be called upon to pay its full share of public taxation than these properties, which are created. by public franchises and which have en- riched and are enriching their owners, Yet it is notorious that they practically escape taxation, and nowhere is this more conspicuous than'in St. Louis and Kansas City. The effect of Representative Ward’s bill will be to make street railways sub- ject to assessment and taxation in the same manner as other railroad property in the State. Its assessment will be finally fixed by the State Board of Equalization, ag in the case of steam railroads, and the result would be an imimediate and large increase of the public revenues in both cities, = JOHN GRANT OF TEXAS. P The country at large has been thirsting for several days to know more concerning one John Grant of Texas. The first the country at large heard of John Grant was the announcement that a delegation of Texas Republicans had gone to Canton to urge him for a Cabinet place. Since then, like Oliver Twist, we have all been cry- ing for more. And now we haveit. Accompanying the Canton pilgrims was a printed memorial identifying the candidate. The descrip- tion is so complete in detail that space will not permit its reproduction in full, But here is ‘a specimen extract: He possesses all the attributes of great- ness. A born leader of the people, and one they delight to follow, because his heart is with them, and neither inducement nor danger will drive him from the line along which duty les. There you have the form and likeness of the man, “A born leader of the people’’. whom the people of Texas have refused to follow. Clearly a case of misunder- standing like that recently described by a Washington correspondent who said that ‘‘the real leaders’’ in the Senate wanted to adopt the arbitration treaty at once, but “the smaller men” would not allow it. People who cannot understand how ‘“‘born leaders” or “‘real leaders” fal] to lead must allow something for meta- phor. Now, what has John Grant done? His memorial says: It was he who pierced ‘the gloom of Texas; broke down the barriers between political serfdom and emancipation, and led the Re- publican hosts into the clear light of day. It was he, who, like the magnet, drew the scattered fragments into one and made the thing of weakness a tower of strength. “The Republican host of Texas’’ is gifted with marvelous eyesight if, buried under a mountainous majority, it can still see “the clear light of day.” Perhaps “the Republican host of Texas” is John Grant himself. He used to run a hostelry at Sherman. When Don Cameron ‘steps out of the Senate an experienced legislator will be lost to the country. One of Mr. Camer- on's legislative methods is thus described: “He made a motion in the Senate one day which was lost by several majority. He said nothing, but those who were watch- ing noticed him going down to the res- taurant from time to time with parties of Senators who had voted against the mo- tion. They would sit around a table with a bottle of champagne and a few glasses for awhile, and them return to the Senate Chamber. Later in the day Mr. Cameron renewed his motion, and it was carried almost unanimously.” Perhaps Mr, Quay, by persistent coaching, will bring Boies Penrose up to something like Mr. Camer- on’s attainments, but Mr. Cameron is going to be missed. -_ (CO? -——h The New York millionaire of the rusty hat and shabby coat whose will now shows him to have beem so wealthy, was better to his heirs than to the poor people employed in the manufacture of clothing. Of all greedy opulence, that which goes in rust and shabbiness is least tolerable. The press of the country regrets to record any of the new woman toward the sinful condition of the old man, but it cannot avoid noticing the case of the feminine post-office money | to the fact that one woman im St. Louis has been discovered in the act of purloin- ing valuable drugs, while another is guilty of counterfeiting, or aiding coun- terfeiters. Possibly there is a man at the bottom of each of these crimes. At the Chicago Council meeting Mon- day evening Alderman Manierre tried to secure the passage of an order instruct- ing the corporation counsel to prepare for presentation to the Legislature a bill amending the charter act so as-to auth- orize cities to own, operate, license or control. telephone systems, gas works, street railways and electric-lighting plants, The Chicago Record thinks the Legislature should take up this matter, as every city in Illinois is interested in getting the cheapest and best service. bs —- a “When the deluge comes and we cry for more water, we shall get more sewage,” says Mr. Woods of Joliet. The Chicago drainage ditch as a breeder of pestilence in Illinois is going to make itself known, perhaps in advance of the prosperity wave. i — 4 > &« De | Oe ng res _ > Bes > 4 . inf _ “¢ = am, a We ‘Fe = as . y . oe. = : ie eenangl 6) ai a ~ them * wads o hie oe a , = oe a’ - — Aas} have them all summoned before the ¥.- tae BRADLEY-MARTIN BALL." * | It Is Objected To by Dr. yr Sector ot th Misco SF Some principals and teachers who are in a position to know the needs of the public schools and existing defects are not wholly in favor of the Civic Federation bill. While admitting that it is a step in the right direc- tion, they aver that it leaves the door open for the perpetuation of abuses second only a to the alleged contractors’ obs. A principal who has been in the public schools for years, but whose name cannot be mentioned becauge he cannot afford to be known as the critic of the board’s methods, was interviewed by a Post-Dispatch re- porter. “My chief objection to the bill,” he said, “Is that the Superintendent remains the creature of the board. I would have him appointed or elected, so as to leave him free, entirely independent of the board. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

When one after another of the members express themselves in favor of the proposed new text book and he realizes that a majority desire it, he recommends it. hy? ‘Because he is the creature of the Board which made and can unmake him at will, He cannot afford te run counter to the wishes of the Board. “I do not refer to Prof. Soldan.

The public does not know the tax payers are squeezed and the effi- ciency of the schools impaired by the adop- tion of costly and inferior text “Every one is aware of the extortionate prices of school books. Take the arithme- tic, for instance. The price is 2% cents, and the cost of publishing about 8 cents. It is so with every other book in use. With an | assured enormous circulation on its adop-. tion by any public school system, the prices are extravagantly high when compared with other books whose sale depends on their merits. “There is a big ft in school books, hardly second to fat building contracts. The agent of a book concern does nee to the superintendent at first. He works on ' the members, and by the time he has used his ‘influence’ on enough to secure the adop- tion of a text book, the members them- selves do the talking to the superintend- ent, and, as stated, he can only recommend when he sees that the board, or a majority of it, is already convinced. “There ts no room to doubt either that text pooks have been adopted by the use of influence or that the board has been im- properly advised. ‘The dropping of bookkeeping from. the higher grades of the district schools affords an example of the methods of the agent.

I think Corbett is ready to step into the ring to-day and fight a better fight than any he has ever fough*. He is the fastest and quickest big man I ever saw in my life, bar none. One reason why I know Corbett is in 90a condition is his neck. Look at the Cok of a man’s neck if you want to see if he is going off. If it is hollow and stringy get away from him, because he is done for. If it is round and full and solid, like Corbett’s is he is all right. Considering everywhing that Corbeit does in the theater he is in splendid shape. He is firm and solid and his eye is perfect. I don’t like the side licks he makes in his show boxing. nér do I like his double licks he hits McVey, but he only does that to show how he can fool with a pood man and get away. I saw him fight Mitchell and I saw him fight Sullivan, and I think he is a better man to-day than he was then.

I must say ‘to begin with that I have been a Corbett man all along. When my friend Allen lost money on Sullivan, I won some on Corbett. My faith in the lad started after his Kilrain fight and I believe in him yet. People ask me every day what I think of the fight. I always tell them Corbett will win,-and I will always think so until some man I have not heard of yet turns up and whips him, He looks to me a bit lighter“than he was when I last saw him, but he seems to be in splendid shape. He is a young fellow and ought to be in good condition, seeing how much he has at stake and what good sense he has always shown in his business. His eye looks bright, and when he boxes he jumps around as though he knew what he was doing. I think he is better to-day than he ever was, and that he will whip Fitz- simmons when they meet. Not without a fight, however, because Fitzsimmons is tricky, but he will whip him.’’ You notice when Corbett boxes with anybody that he wastes no work in false leads and feints. He is always ready, but never too eager. Corbett will never hit out ait a man who merely feints at him. His eve is too good and sure for that, and then he has confidence in himself. That is another great help to any fighter, even if he is a poor one, which Corbett is not. Then Corbett is so much faster than Fitzsimmons ever was that he will have no trouble getting away from him, Fitzsimmons can —— fight one way, and that is close in. e will never get near Corbett—that is never near enough to do his kind of fighting.

Ho ee So Bh eee eS YOUNG. WIFE, WILLIAM KERRUISH THOUGHT SHE WAS TOO GIDDY. WEBSTER GROVES SENSATION. Now the Young Couple Are Separated and the Gossips Are Having a High Time. The gossips of Webster Groves are busy at present dissecting the marital troubles of William Kerruish, Jr., and his young wife, formerly Miss Emma O’Hara. ‘The wife has gone back to her parents, after an exceptionally bitter quarrel, which wound up in a fist fight in which Mrs. Kertulsh came out second best and people @re speculating on the cause. The trouble, according to the wife, is that Kerruish is insanely jealous. He ob- Jected to his wife receiving the least atten- tions from other men. It was on this account that they quar- reled last Monday night. Kerruish said that the wife was altogether too gay. Then he used physical force in an attempt to subdue her effervescent spirits, After this fight, the wife left her home, taking her baby girl with her, She went to the residence of her father, Jas. O’Hara, and has been there ever since. On Wednes- day, while young Mr. Kerruilsh was away from his home, Mr. O’Hara went to the house and removed the piano and personal belongings of the young wife. According to the story told by Mrs. Ker- ruish to Post-Dispatch repor:er Friday, the husband's jealousy has dated from the be- nning of their courtship. She says he would object to her speaking to young men On the street, and would want to know the business of everyone who called upon her. ince the wedding, three and one-half years ago, they have managed to get along in comparative peace until a few weeks since, when Kerfruish, according to the wife's atory began accusing her of being too fond of the comp 3nv of others. About a week ago, says Mrs. Kerruish, she went to choir practice in the evening. The husband was not with her and one of the young men offered to see her home. She accepted. They strolled along in a lets- ufely manner until within a block of their déstination, when they were surprised by the husband, who had blood in hig eye and a desire for vengeance in his heart. Ker- ruish wais some distance behind the couple, and shouted to them to stop. The wife did 80; Dut the escort remembered an impor- tant engagement, and sprinted up the street. He has not been conspicuous on the streets of Webster since. here was a lively quarrel after the couple arrived at their home. After this little spats were of daily occurrence, and the finish came Mondey night. Mrs. Ker- ruish says her husband accused her of im- Epoper conduct, and sailed in to punish her or it. How often he struck her she cannot say, but claims that it was more than once. She also claims that she still wears several bruises as evidence that the blows were not “love licks.’’ Then tt was that Mrs. Ker- ruish packed her trunk. ‘She says she will never go ba to ther husband, and will never forgive him for his treatment. At the same time she says she does not want a divorce, and is satisfied to retain Ker- ruish as a matrimonial] encumbrance. “tT don't know what I will do about it,”’ eatd Mre. Kerruish Friday. “I guess I might as weil let it go on as it is. It makes no difference to me. He is just young and foolish, that’s all.’’ Young Mr. Kerrulsh could not be found Friday, but ft is stated that he does not view the separation from the comic opera standpoint taken by the wife. He is mad all through, it is said, and has made ‘threats ‘to 48) gunning for. the young. men who, he thinks, afe thé cause of his wife's ind'ffer- ence to him. If Mr. Kerru'sh should carry out his threat he will furnish the gossips of his liitle village with more food for dis- cussion. FIRE IN THE WEST END. Four Suburban Avenue Residences Do- stroyed at Noon. A destructive fire caused excitement in @ fashionable Cabanne neighborhood Fri- day noon. Four handsome residence# were destroydd before the flames were extin- guished. The fire broke cut shortly before 11 o'clock in the two-story frame house at 6139 Su%- ‘urban avenue, owned and occupied by Geo. Brock. The flames spread rapidly in both directions, spreading west to 6141 and east to 6137 and 6135. Though two alarms were turned in the fire was well under way when the engines reached the scene. The muddy condition of the streets made it difficult to reach the fire plugs even then. House No, 6189 Suburban avenue was damaged $1,000; furniture, $500.

Judge Flitcraft began hearing Friday the Civérce su't brought by Ida Ringen Wams- ganz against Gustave Wamsganz. To the surprise of Mr. Marehall F. Mc- Donald, attcrney for the plaintiff, Judge Filiteraft dismissed the petition, because the attorney left out the little word “next.” Judge Flitcraft said the petition failed to state that the plaintiff had lived in St. Louis one whole year “next” prior to the bringing of the suit, Mr. McDonald thought the fact appeared at least inferentially in another part of the bill, but the Judge was not able to see it. Still Mr. McDonald demurred, and he and the court had a little conversation over the matter. Judgé Flitcraft based his position on a Court of Appeals decision, the purport of which is that the petition must show in some shape that the.plaint ff has lived one continuous year next previous to the filing of the suit. UHimately Mr. McDonald at- ceded to the suggestion of the court, It transpired that Mr. Wamsganz had en- tered an appearance, but did not answer to the bill, and the lady took a default. At the suggestion of the court, Mr. McDonald moved to set aside the cefault and was al- lowed to amend his bill. Then he is to serve notice on Mr, Wamsganz again. Judge Flit- craft said he would oblige the plaintiff with an early héaring, so soon as he acquires jurisdiction, CALLED EACH OTHER NAMES. Family Feud Brings an Old Lady and a Young Girl Into Court. Miss Nona Shannon of 1400 North Seven- teenth street, a saleslady at a big down- town department store, and Mrs. Hannora Daley of 1404 North Seventeenth, were in the Second District Police Court Friday on cross charges for disturbing each other's peace. Miss Shannon is @ pretty blonde, with light hair and blue eyes. Mrs. Daley is an old lady. The two families have lived near.éeach other for a long time and were good neighbors until @ year ago. Then Miss Shanron decided she didn’t care to visit Mrs. Daley any more and she didn’t. There’s where the trouble started, and it grew into a family feud. On Jan. 9, at 8 o'clock, Miss Shannon was waiting at Fifteenth and O'Fallon streets for a street car. Mrs. Daley was going into Charles Heintz’s butcher shop. Each woman gays the other spoke first. According to the testimony Mrs, Daley said Miss Shannon was ‘“‘a proud, impudent little thing,’’ and ‘“‘she needed to wear @ veil,” Miss Shannon replied that Mrs. Daley was an ‘old drunkard” and_ her daughter needed to wear a veil, too. Then fe, said more bad «things about each other. . Miss Shannon cried and went home. Mrs. Daley bought her meat and went to her home. Next day they got police summonses for each other. Judge Stevenson said it was a eompli- cated case and reserved his decision. WIDENING TWELFTH STREET. Attorney Haeussler Demurs to the Form of the City’s Petition. Judge Fisher heard on Friday the demur- rer of H.A. Haeussler to the petition brought by the city looking to the appointment of commissioners to assess damages according to the change of grade that will be necessi- tated oy the construction of the proposed Twelfth street bridge. The petition estab- lished:a large district supposed to be af- fected by the improvement, and summoned no less than 760 property owners into court. The “‘meat’’ of Mr. Aeussier’s demurrer appears to be that the petition, being based upon a statute relative to condemnations, does not conform to the provisions of the charter on the subject, as it provides for the award of damages in a manner not contem- plated by the charter. GAVE HER COUNTERFEITS. Mrs. Raymond Beck Was an Easy Vic- tim to Two Men. Mrs. Raymond Beck, who keeps a saloon at 2034 South Second street, reports to the police that two men passed two counter- feit silver dollars on her Thursday. They entered the saloon together. One man ordered beer and tendered a silver dol- jar in payment. She gave him 9 cents in change. Then the other man did the same thing. After the men were gone she dis- covered that the money was counterfeit. She says the men were about 2% years old. One was 6 feet tall, sandy mustache and wore black clothes. The other was about 5 feet 6 inches tall, hada black mus- tache, and wore a da overcoat and a brown corduroy cap. TO MAKE FARMERS. Plan to Educate Dependent Children for Tillers of the Soil.

EXPECTS TO CAUSE TROUBLE. The Health Commissioner Will Rec- ommend That Pulmonary Tuber- culosis Be Classed as Infectious. a Health Commissioner Starkloff will Frecommend at the next meeting of the Board of Health official recognition of pul- monary tuberculosis, or consumption, as an infectious disease. When this is done it will be possible to Tequire all physicians who attend private patients, as well as the public institutions, to make a prompt report of every case that comes officially to their attention. The Health Commissioner has long been @ stanch supporter of this theory and has collected considerable data to support his position. He will suggest action similar to that recently taken by the Health Depart- ment of New York. Consumption will then be placed on the same basis as diphtheria, ecariet fever and other communicable dis: eases. For several years Dr. Starkloff has close- ly studied the infectious properties of tu- berculosis and has made several attempts to educate the people to a consciousness of the danger aitending close continued asso- ciation with a gap gg The mode of communication is mainly from the dried aputa from invalids. he germs in the eputa are carried into the air by sweepings, or deposited upon walls or contents of rooms, and find their way into the lungs. These germs, or bacilli tuberculosis, huve been thoroughly studied, and repeated suc- cessful inoculations have been performed on lower animals. Dust from private houses where consumptives lived, when mixed with aterilized boulllon and injected into ani- mais. has given similar resulta. The Board of Health has repeatedly ad- vised none tq sieep in the same room with a consumptive, or in a’ room that has been occupied by such an tnvalid unless it haw been previously fumigated with sulphur. The St. Louls Board of Health will not be able to go #0 far as the New York de- partment in the treatment and suppression of the disease, but what power it lacks the City Council will be asked to aupply. With the Board's official recognition it will be imperative on the physicians to make re. ports of all cases, and their location will be carefully noted, The Health Commiasioner is now preparing an ordinance to be sub- mitted to the Counctl investing him with the power to take charge of all infectious diseases, tO quarantine them and to take what steps be deems necessary. This, though sweeping in ite character, is aimed e ly, at pulmonary consumption. the disease known in its true light | ———— —~ ; and full power from the city to act in the premises, Dr. Starkloff believes the board will be able to successfully prevent its spread. he death rate will be lowered, he thinks, as many sufferers now not receiving proper treatment will be benefited. It is approximately estimated tha? nearly one- half of consumptive patients in St. Louis die of the disease. Just what steps the board will take to isolate the disease have not been determined, but every precaution conducive to the pub- lic health will be taken. “The people will have to be educated to it,” said the Health Commissioner, ‘and some disaffection may be expected at firs*. Science has proven a danger exists and it is our duty to protect the public. The disease is claiming new victims every day simply because the danger is not recognized and no recautions are taken. Many will no* be- lieve it is infectious, but Instances can be cited where whole villages have been wiped out by its ravages. A hamlet in a climate supposed to have a beneficial influence on consumptives is soon overrun with invalids. The inhabitan‘s are woe and sooner or later they are victims of tuberculosis. But I belleve if we are successful in getting the measures we desire not only will many cures be effected, but a large quota of our consumptive population will leave he city. ‘There is a deep-seated ——— against treating the disease as in the case of scarlet fever or diphtheria, and some people*would rather leave than be quarantined or submit to whatever other stringent regulations that may be imposed. I look forward to a gen- eral exodus of ulmonary tuberculosis patients from New York and St. Louls when the law becomes active. ‘The other large cities of the country wll soon ‘be forced to follow our example. The utmost care should be taken to destroy the expectoration of the consumptive while liv- ing, and every precaution should ‘be adopted in case of death.

PRES. BOYD’S $5,000 SALARY. Board of Directors Have Never Had Occasion to Turn Any Money Over to the City. The St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association met Tuesday and voted Presi- dent T. B. Boyd a salary of $5,000 per year. The ordinance vacating Missouri Park to the associatigh without compensation lim- ited the profits of the association to 10 per cent of the capital stock, Of this 2 per cent was to go to the city. By an apparent oversight it, however, set no limit to the salaries which might be paid to real or ostensible officers. The city has never received its 2 per cent or any part thereof.

OLIVE ST,, Next to Barr's ‘ é yak os PR ce a ae Rox - a , oneeeennen — — —___— —_ -——— it, if the project is pushed, has drawn at- tention to these things. The ordinance authorizing the use of Mis- sour! Park for an Exposition for fifty years was approved March 7, 1883. Section 3 provided that ‘‘the rental for and charges of admission into said build- ing shall be regulated so as to produce in excess of the amount required to maintain the building a sum not exceeding 10 per cent on the capital stock of said proposed corporation, and of said sum all in excess fof &§ per cent of said capital stock shall be | | paid the city anything. the City Treasury for the paid vearly into use of the city.’ Nobody about the City Hall seems to know whether the earnings of. the Exposi- tion have ever exceeded 8 per cent or not, but it is certain that if there was any ex- cess it was not paid into the City Treasury. A city official said Thursday: “I don’t know whether there is a pressing need for opening Locust street through the Expo- sition, but the Exposition folks should not get obstreperous. They have done much for the city, but the city has done much for them. It gave them M'ssouri Park, which it ought never to have done. “The city was to receive the earnings over 8 per cent and under 10 per cent on the capital stock, It has never re. ceived a cent: Im the face of that the asso- ciation is voting its officers fat salaries. Just a day or two,ago President Boyd was voted $5,000 a year. I do not say that is the intention, but by gradually establishing a lot of salaried officers, the intent of the re- striction could be defeated. It does not seem to me that the duties of the President of an association which does business only one month in the year can be 80 very ardu- ous. ‘The gentlemen in the Exposition Associa- tion are public spirited, but they obtain a reasonable interest on their investment and perhaps do no more for the city than a great many other business men who do their work quietly and without display. “If the opening of Locust street is a pub- lic necessity these men have a chance to prove their unselfishness by making some little sacrifice. “It certainly seems’to me that the Ex- position should be so managed as to pro- duce some revenue to the city in return for its abandonment of Mis*ouri Park.” Comptroller Isaac H. Sturgeon spoke very guardedly when asked about the matter, “No,” he said, “the Association has never I do not suppose it has ever made as much as 8 per cent. If | it should at any tyme do so, the excess would probably be turned into repa'rs and improve- ments. I do not think it was the purpose of the city to derive any profits under the arrangement. The clause was simply in- serted in the ordinance to act as a check and prevent the Exposition from becoming a money-making concern. ‘The gentlemen in the Association are too public spirited to try to gain anything by dodging their obligations to the city. I sup- pose the charter of the Association provides for salaried officers, but I don't know. I would not permit a breath to escape from my mouth calling in question the motives of these gentlemen.” The Comptroller was under the fmpres- sion that the Association had made ® peport of its receipts to the city last year, but was not sure. e said he would look the matter up and # it had not it would be asked to do 80. Frederick Gabel, hig assistant, was cer- tain that a eee th § had been asked for and received, but no record of it could be found in the index book. Both President T. B. d and Manager Frank Galennie are out of the city.

The reason for giving President Boyd a $5,000 salary is said to have been that he announced his intention of resigning. PARENTAL CARELESSNESS. May Result in Gilbert Addis’ Death From Diphtheria. Three-year-old Gilbert Addis is dying from diphtheria because of his parents’ carelessness. He is at the City Hospital. William and Lizzie Addis live at 4361 North Market street. Several weeks ago their little son, Willie, was stricken with diphtheria, and he was treated at the hos- pital. Mrs. Addis told Dr. Sutter that she had another child at home. The doctor ad- vised her to bring him to the hospital and have him immunized. She neglected to do SO. | The day that Willie was released Mr. Ad- excess in) dis went to the hospital for his son’s play- things. Dr. Sutter did not Ilke to let them o until they had been thoroughly disin- ected. He told Addis there was danger, but the man insisted and obtained the play- things. The children played together and in a few days little Gilbert’s throat became sore. A fever arose and soon the parents saw that pin younger child had contracted the dis- Friday morning at 2 o’clock Mrs. Addis with the child in her arms applied for ad- mission at the City Hospital.

Building Trades Council Wants an En- forcing Act Passed. The Building Trades Council is demand- ing that the General Assembly adopt an eight hour law to govern all contracts for public work. At the meeting of the Council Wednesday night, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The welfare of the great State of Missouri depends greatly upon the pros- erity of the farmer, the mechanic and the aborer, the fountain head of all wealth, and Whereas, The daily increase of labor-sav- ing inventions deprives thousands of honest workers of the opportunity of making a livelihood, and tends to decrease the wages of those so fortunate ag to be employed, thus check.ng the circulation of o—" an hence cnergerne our prosperity, an Whereas,’ No po - are so oy to the masses of working men, to our grand State and detrimental to its welfare and good name, ae these so-called strikes or iy aig = public work in large cities. Therefore, be Resolved, That the Building Trades Coun- cil of St. Louis and vicinity earnestly rec- ommend to the Honorable General Assem- bly of the State of Missouri the passage of an act to regulate public work in cities that now have or may hereafter attain a popula- tion of 100,000 inhabitants or over, b the passage of an act to effectuate e.ght hours as a lawful day’s work, and efficient legie- lation to effectually prevent delays and strikes on public work. In accordance with instructions from the council, Secretary . W. S8teinbiss has drafted a b.ll to be presented to the Legis- lature, incorporating the substance of the resolutions. The draft of the bill provides a fine of from $100 to $1,000 to be mposed upon public officers who fail to enforce its provisions, and upon contractors violating them. The latter are also to forfeit their -ontracts. Ot course. we have the eight hour day now,” said Mr. Steinbiss to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, “but there is no provision for its enforcement. Such a law as proposed would improve conditions, and by makin labor better satisfied, would go far tow preventing strikes.’ PAID TO GET EMPLOYMENT.
