HE LAY ON THE CAR TRACKS. MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED AND PUT ON THE TRACKS TO CONCEAL THE CRIME. RUDOLPH BERKE IS HELD. | Motorman Saw the Body, but Was Un- able to Stop Till the Car Had Dragged It Half a Block. Rudolph Berke ig a prisoner in the hold- over. On the records no charge appears op- posite his name, but the police say he is being held as an important witness at ihe inquest to be had Saturday to determine how William Schwankhorst came to his death. Schwankhorst was struck by a Benton- Bellefontaine electric car at the center gate of Calvary Cemetery ‘Thursday night. There are features about the case which seem to justify a doubt.that his death was acci- Santal The dead man’s employers think he was killed or fatally injured and placed upon the car track to cover up the crime. Schwankhorst was employed as stable- man by Bernard Gruempelier, a dairyman at 6749 Florissant avenue. He had worked there three weeks and told his employer he ‘came from Cincinnati. With Rudolph Berke he occupied a room over the stabie. Thursday night he and Berke went out together and drank at a number of saloons along Florissant avenue. Berke returned alone about 11:30 and went to bed. Haif an hour later a policeman awak- ened the Grumpelers and told them one of their stablemen had been killed at the cemetery gate, a block away. Berke was aroused. He was apparently very drunk, and protested that he had left Schwank- ee be near the cemetery gate half an hour petore. ' He was taken to Goetterman’s saloon, ‘where he identified the body of Schwank- . horst. He was then locked up at the O’Fal- lon Park Police Station as a witness. Schwankhorst’s —s was mangled almost , beyond recognition. t was struck by east | bound car No. 514. The wheels di not strike it, but the fender pushed it along for half a block before the car was stopped. | Both legs and one arm were broken and there w euts and bruises all over the , body. here was a rent in the back of ' the coat which several of the bystanders ‘thought was caused by a knife. |. Motorman Matthew Gorman says the body of Schwankhorst was ly!ng across the track when he first saw it. It was then too late to stop the car, He is certain the man ,did not etagger and fall in front of the car as it approached him. From his position the motorman judged he had been there /gome time. ' | Mrs, Gruempeler was on the ecene shortly , after the body was picked up. She doubts ' the theory of accident. “In the crowd last night,” she said, “I heard a man say a knife was found near the track.

They were , drinking wong’ S When they left they told \the bartender they were going to see if they ‘could find another saloon open. | Berke showed the effects of drinking Fri- day morning. He can speak little English. He said he and Schwankhorst tried to find '@ saloon open after leaving Goetterman’s, | but could not. “Schwankhorst stopped at Calvary ave- nue,’’ he said, ‘‘and tried to get him to \go home, but he wouldn't. I left him on ‘the corner and went home. I think he had 20 cents or 30 cents when I left him.”’ No money was found on the dead: man. \Only a post-mortem will determine how ‘Schwankhorst came to his death. An ex- amination of the body was made by Morgue- keeper Mack Friday. It was so badly man- it.was impossible to tell whether any 4 the wounds were made with a knife. ‘Go far as is known Schwankhrost had no relatives in St. Louis, ° ACTION AGAINST BLAND, Ouster Proceedings to Be Begun Next Week. \Bpecial te the Post-Dispatch.

Bfner of Ashmore Township has a jug that went through the revolutionary war, if the tra- ditions of the Bitner family are to be re- iied upon.

LIFE Little Johnny Coyle’s First View Was in a Deadhouse. BOY IS SEVEN YEARS OLD. THOMAS COYLE, HIS PARENT, DIED ALONE IN THE CITY HOS- PITAL OF PNEUMONIA. FAMILY TOLD OF IT BY MAIL. Dead Man Left Home Three Months After His Wife Died and Was Wever Heard From Until a Postal Card Gave News. The first and only time 7-year-old Johnny Coyle ever saw his father, Thomas Coyle, was Friday morning when he viewed his parent’s body in the dead house of the City Hospital. He was accompanied by his 10- year-old brother, James, and his aunt, Mrs. John Coyle, who lives at Garfield and At- lantic avenues. Thomas Coyle was received at the City Hospital Dec. 2, 1897. He was a laborer, 3 years old, and gave his address as Twenty- second street and Scott avenue. He was suffering from pneumonia. He grew worse, and when his condition became critical one of the doctors asked about his relat'ves. He was so weak he could scarcely reply, but he managed to let the doctor know that he had a brother, John Coyle, living at Garfield and Atlantic avenues. Thursday the end came and Coyle died in the hospital. Dr. Sutter caused a postal card to be sent to the brother. Friday morning ‘Mrs. Coyle and the dead man’s two boys called at the hospital to see about the body. The three went across the hospital yard to the deadhouse, where the body was shrouded in a sheet. Little Johnnie had never seen his father, and Jimmy was cnly 3 years old when he iast saw him. Though they had never known their father the solemnity of the occasion overcame them and great tears formed in their eyes and slowly trickled down their cheeks. “That is the father of our poor little orphans,”’ said Mrs. Coyle, and tearfully the trio walked back into the hosptal. “We have not seen nor heard from the boys’ father for seven years,’’ Mrs. Coyle told-Chief Cleric Koch: “His wife died then and he sent his children over to us. Johnnie was only a few months old then and Jimmy was a little tot of 3 years. My husband will take care of the body and see that it is given a Christian burial."’ SHE TORE THE LABELS OFF Wedding Jokes Not Appreciated by a Quincy Bride. Special to the Post-Dispatch. QUINCY, Ill., Jan. 14.—G. W. Whaley and bride, who were married at Hannibal yes- terday, arrived in «the city yesterday after- noon, Their marriage was kept a secret, and when they arrived here they were con- gratulating themselves on the clever man- ner in which they had been married, and left the town on their bridal tour without their friends knowing anything about it. But they changed their minds when they saw their trunk put off from the baggage car ahead. Their Hannibal friends didn’t do a thing to that trunk. ToNet the happy couple know that they had not been as clever as they were giving themselves credit for, they plastered the trunk with large glaring red paper hearts and printed slips bearing such necriptions as: “We're from Missouri, Show us.’’ ‘““Tootsy-wootsy; wootsy-tootsy.”’ “*O, my turtle dove!” “O, I don’t know. Do you?” The bride is a sister of Supt. Cunningham of the Burlington system, and is an at- tractive young woman, When her eyes fel] on the trunk she went at those labels and stayed with them until she .had scratched every one of them so fhai tney could not be read. Quite a crowd of men stood around and watéhed her, but she was in too muct, j of a rage to notice them and their snickers. POST-DISPATCH THERMOMETER, TRIED AnSUN —" to Burn a Hotel. THOUGHT HIMSELF DYING. HAD TAKEN A POWERFUL DRUG AND WISHED OTHERS TO DIE WITH HIM. FOUGHT WITH THE POLICE. but Was Dragged Down by the Morphine Habit—At the City Hospital. at the Waverly Hotel Friday morning, and while he thought himself dying from a pow- erful drug he attempted to burn down the hotel and cremate the occupants. When three policemen, reinforced by the night clerk, the porter and half a dozen guests, broke in the door to h's room How- ard was standing in the middle of the floor striking matches and applying them to the bed clothes. He fought like the madman he was when the policemen advanced. “Go away,” he yelled, “I want to die, and when I go I want to take every one in the house with me.”’ As the officers closed in on Howard he leaped from the floor to the middle of his bed and reached under his pillow. The policeman expected him ‘to draw a revolver and all jumped upon him to pul! him back. Howard was too quick for them, and when his clinched hand was exposed to WILLIAM HOWARD, ee er view it held not a pistol, but a hypodermic syringe, the best friend the poor wretch has. When he secured his valuable Howard meekly submitted to «he orders of the policemen and dressed himself and ac- companied them to the City Hospital in an ambulance, He is now an occupant of the observation ward. The precioug hypodermic syringe and a box of morphine pills, which were found by the side of Howard’s bed, told the story of the attempted tragedy better than How- ard could have told it. The man was a “‘fiend,’’ despondent and shattered in health, and his effort at suicide and to burn the hotel and its sleeping inmates was the re- sult of his delirium. He took fully 30 grains of morphine be- tween the time he was discovered setting fire to h's bed and the time he went to the hote] and registered at 6 o’clock Thursday evening. The hospital doctors who pumped him out say it was only the excessive dose that enabled them to save the min’s life. The Waverly Hotel] ts at 80! Market street. When Howard registered Thursday even- ing he paid for a room in advance, He told the night clerk part of his history—lay- ing stress_on the fact that he had out of work for nearly a ywear and had been in St. Louls, Chicago and Cincinnati vainly AND SUICIDE William Howard’s Attempt He Was Once an Editor and Publisher, Wiliam Howard tried to commit suicide syringe , DR.

His line of business was in the publishing houses, he said, and now that he had reached the end of his string he was disheartened and was going back to Indiana, where his wife and daugh- ter lived. Two hours later Howard lIeft the hotel and was gone an hour. When he. returned he sat by the office stove and rattled a little box of pills, handling it dovinely and ten- derly. The clerk saw him turn his back to the men gathered around the stove, roll up his sleeve and surreptitiously put a hypo- dermic syringe to his bare skin, press the handle and shoot the contents into his arm. Three times was this performance repeated before 10 o'clock. The drug seemed to have no effect upon him. Howard went into his room on the sec- ond floor, closed the window and locked the door, leaving no call for the morning. That the negro porter chanced to be passing by Howard's room at 2 o’clock tn the morning is probably what saved Howard's life, as well as those of other occupants of the Wa- verly Hotel, The porter heard Howard groaning and-talking to himself as if in great pain. He knocked on the door, and, receiving no reply, he reported the suspi- cious circumstance to the clerk. Both the pprter and the clerk tried to force the door, but they could not open it. Policeman Ham'll was called in from the street, and he in turn whistled for two other officers. The policemen threw their full weight against the door and it gave way. Howard was caught just in the act of touching a match to the sheets on the bed. Half a dozen burnt matches strewed the floor by the side of the bed, Howard is 43 years old and was once prominent in Indlana politics. He has als@é been an editorial writer on various news- papers, ahd lately has worked in publish- ing houses in Indiana and Ohio. When he came to St. Louis the first time, nine months ago, he was treated at the hos- pital for morphine poisoning. Whether it was an overdose or taken with suicidal in- tent Was mever determined.

It was a protest of pro-Spaniards of Cuba against the new policy of modera tion of Spain. A careful confidential canvass lately of the most important Span- ish men of wealth in Havana disclosed the fact that they do not want autonomy, To each I put the question: “Which would you prefer—reail Cuban autonomy or ane Two-thirds answered quickly, “Annexation.” And so did all the others wher discussion developed the fact that real autonomy would be a rebel victory, and that, therefore, really, home-rule Cuba would be ruled by its Cuban victors. The Spanish property owners of Cuba would rather be ruled even by the Unit- ed States than by the traditional enemies, whose hatred and wish for vengeance have been embittered by the cruelties of Weyler and by the Inability of the pres- The volunteers have not yet taken part in the Spanish anti-autonomical dem. When the volunteers do riot, probably about the time autonomicaj elections are to be attempted, when they will vote as an armed political party, First, because the average volunteer has been trained to believe Americans to be only “fat pigs” for Spanish bayonets to stick Into, Second, because the volunteer officers want the war ended; want United States intervention; want at least an American protectorate, and see the best way to get all three is to kill a few American citizens in Havana, Of three expected and provided-for outbreaks, only two have occurred. One was Christmas eve; the other Wednesday night. : Both were engineered by Spanish officers and ultra-Spanish potiticians simply as demonstrations to show Spain that the Cuban Spaniards would not tolerate Neither riot menaced Americans. But when the volunteers act, no citizen of the United States will be safe. This may be expected when, as will soon be demonstrated, autonomy proves itself a thing only on paper—a mere affair of ministerial proclamation in Mad. rid, with a pretty council chamber and five handsome inkstands in Havana.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—The chairman of the organizing committee of the Cuban- American League makes public a letter from Hannis Taylor, former United States Minister to Spain. in which he says: very city of the United States a Cu- rican League should be instantly whose primary purpose should be to arouse public opinion to demand the in- stant passage of the Senate’s belligerency resolution now pending in the House of Rep- resentatives. When that demand is opopsed by the wornout tcchnical pretext that the insurgents are not entitled to such action until they have first established a com- plete de facto government, the answer should be promptly made that the law of nations demands no such thing; that the resolution in question need omly recognize the fact that there ts now in Cuba a state of war. ‘Who can deny the truth of that asser- tion when he remembers that Spain has hurled in vain against the insurgent host over 200.0009 men, and has expended in vain over $300 000,00).

L LMA If the fire and police commissioners are State icers, or officers which the State has the right to have ap- pointed by the Governor in the exercise of what is called the police power of the State, then it follows that the State should pay their salaries for two reasons: 1. To make the citizens of the city pay the salaries of State officers appointed by the State to do police duty for the State, and without the people of the city having any choice in the matter, would be imposing a tax, or, what 1s the sante, a debt upon a municipality, to be paid by taxation without the right of represen- tation. . 2. It would be obnoxious to the plain’ spirit and meaning of the Constitution, which re- quires that the taxes upon the people shall be uniform. The citizens of the city would be taxed to pay the salaries of the State's police egents for services which inured to the benefit of the people of the whole State, yet without the other portions of the State contributing a like amount or any amount for the benefits which they received in common with the people of the municipality—the city. ' Such a doctrine as that will strike down free government, in that it is a centralization of litical power in the State, and inevitably Coote te despotism, in that it destroys local municipal self-government, imposes taxation upon the people, but denies them representa- tion, and imposes unequal burdens of taxation upon the people of the State municipalities if they come within the metropolitan class. reer if this is permitted, every village, tofn and city in the State will be included within the State’s oppression in that regard. Oentralized political power has and never will be satisfied. I have shown that there is a never-ending contention between -centralized government and free government. An irrepressible conflict has always been and alwaya will be waged between these two forces. Hience the trite saying, ‘Eternal vigilapee is the price of liberty.’ Political and governmental centralization of power is always prolific of excuses and subter- fuges to gain the ascendency, the most plausi- ble being ‘‘the police power of the State.”’ which has erabled centralized power to sa the liberties of the people more than any other faise pretense of that power. That there is a org power of the State must be conceded, mut that it Is limited by the inherent rights of the municipal subdivisions of the State, as above indicated, cannot be successfully con- troverted. To go beyond that limit is uemet- Dr. Suma to be operated on by Dr. Ber- nays. Dr. Suma had diagnosed the case as incurable cancer of the stomach, Dr. Ber- nays is famous for his skill with the knife and his daring as an operator, and, forti- fied by the Schlatter precedent, he under- took the task of making personal inspect'on of Beck’s inside. His report of the opera- tion says: . “Assisted by Dr. Robert E. Wilson and Dr, Spencer Graves and his reguiar corps of nurses and assistants, I opened the ab- domen in the usual way and, upon exami- nation of the stomach, it was found that the major curvature was not involved at all; that the disease was located along the minor curvature and that it extended the whole length from the esophagus to within an inch of the pylorus. This latter outlet of the stomach was entirely free from dis- ease. It was found that all the organ excepting this small portion of about one inch would have to be removed in order to give the patient a chance to get well. This operation was done and the lower end of the esophagus was united to the pyioric end or outlet of the stomach. “I have three or four times operated on cases in which the removal of the entire stomach might have resulted in a cure, but never have had the knowledge mecessary to warrant me in operation, and have also lacked in courage. The recent successful operation by Dr. Schlatter in Zurich gave us some encouragement and furnished a precedent, but the operation, in my opin- lon, based upon the experience of Wednes- day morning, will never become a common one. It is exceedingly difficult of perform- ance, and requires great resourcefulness and endurance on the part of the surgeon and his assistants. The operation lasted two hours and six minutes. It was some- what different from Schlatter’s in detail of the operation. “The patient is doing fairly well—in fact, the danger of shock and hemorrhage ‘s now over—and if he does not get well it will be from the impogesibility of properly nourish- ing him.’’ Removal of the entire stomach has been a subject of experiment with surgeons for nearly a quarter of a century, but until Dr. Schlatter of Switzerland and Dr. Ber- nays of St. Louis took up the work the subjects were not human. In 1878 Czerny took out a dog’s stomach and the animal lived till he was killed for purposes of an- atomical study. The autopsy revealed that a small part of the cardiac end of the stom- ach remained, and that a smal] sac had formed from the remnant and fulfilled the gastric functions. In other cases there was a noticeable dis- tension of some portion of the alimentary canal, showing a disposition of nature to form. a new stomach. The Schlatter operation was performe: September 6, 1897. The patient was ‘dour ished by enema for several weeks, then took food in the regular way. She left her bed October 11 and at last reports was at work in ihe Zurich Hospital, to all intents and purposes a well woman. Whether a new stomach has formed or is forming in her will probably be decided after she dies. In the Beck case it is the purpose of the doctors to follow the course of Dr. Schlatter as nearly as possible. Beck is 46 vears old and the Schlatter subject is 65. —~ MONEY STRINGENCY IN INDIA Move Toward the Issue of Currency Notes Against Gold. CALCUTTA, Jan. 14—Sir James West- land, Finance Mintster of the Council, in- troduced a bill to-day providing for the is- sue of currency notes in India against gold. His First Work in That Line Was at the Planters’ Hotel Fifteen Years Ago. A polite lad walked into the old Planters’ Hotel and asked for a job as bellboy. The clerk replied that the house had more bell- boys than guests. But the youth was not easily discouraged. He said he would drop around often—someth'ng in his favor might turn up. This occurred fifteen years ago. That lad was John McGuire, now acknowl- edged to be the smoothest pickpocket in the world. Playing the role of a bellboy looking for a job, McGuire loitered about the famous la Vi DICE-BOX M’'GUIRE, — - old hotel and picked the pockets of the wealthy guests so skillfully that for a long while he was never suspected. McGuire was also a trickster with the little wary cubes, and his skill in that line gave him the title of “Dice Box” McGuire. The apparently innocent youth, who pre- tended to seek employment old Planters’ Hotel, is now an Belgium prison, charge of robbery. to life in Belgium and is begging to be re- turned to the United States. Chief Desmond is in receipt of recent in- formation from McGuire, but he is mot wanted in St. Louis now. If he should escape from Belgium and return to the United States he will be tried in Chicago for swindling an Alderman out of $000 in a dice game After that little episode. “Dice Box” went abroad. He was a conspicuous figure at the Queen’s jubilee, and subsequently wandered over to Belgium, where he inci- dentally got into jail. They have little use for swindlers and robbers in Belgium. In addition to prison sentences, the convict’s ears are cut off. And that is the principal cause of McGuire's diszontent. He doesn’t want to lose his ears. He has not yet been convicted of the charge on which he is held, but conviction is regarded as certain, and then off comes the ears. “Dice Box” says in a recent letter that if he is returned to the United States. he will Senator Quay offered a resolution which was referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs, instructing the Secretary of the Interior to investigate the recent alleged burning of two Seminole Indians in Okla- homa, and appropriating $26,000 for the pur- pose, Eulogies on the late Senator Earle of South Carolina were postponed, and the Senate went into executive session, ---- —@— —— IN THE HOUSE. Private Bills Taken Up to Avoid a Cuban Debate. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 14—The House managers decided not to proceed with the consideration of the diplomatic and con- sular appropriation bill to-day, but to give the day for the consideration of private bills. This was doubtless done to avert the possibility of precipitating a sensational Cu- ban debate during the consideration of the appropriation bill. Inflammatory speeches during the present critical state of affairs in Havana would, the conservative leaders believe, be particularly unfortunate. The resolution accepting the invitation of the Government of Norway to participate in the International Fisheries Exposition at Bergen in 1898 was called up by Mr. Simp- kins (Rep.) of Massachusetts. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropria- tions committee, sald he thought on the exposition question Congress was running wild. If this resolution passed Congress would be called upon to feot the bill for a deficiency of $20,000. He gave it as his de- liberate Judgment that the interests of the United States did not require our participa- tion in this exposition. If we did owr duty by the Paris exposition that would be enough. After debate the resolution was adopted.

The first school to move for mud-abate- ment is the Ashland School, at the corner of Newstead and San Francisco avenues, There are about 300 pupils in this school, Miss Sarah J. Maguire is the principal. Miss Maguire is a woman of resources, and when she saw the excuses of the ab- gentees were valid on account of almost im- assable quagmires she quickly formed the iden of a popular protest on the part of the little childven, whose parents’ money ves to support a city government that gives no adequate equivalent to the wards of its sup- porters. Bhe instructed her assistants to announce in each class that the pupils in their own original way should address a letter to Mayor Ziegenhein, calling his attention to the deplorable condition of the streets, and how they had been forced to quit school on account of the mud. The pup!is, none of which are much over 10 years old, readily caught the suggestion. In addition to a petition signed by 275 oi them. there were 2 letters writen im childish style addressed to the Mayor, beg- ging of him to come to the rescue of the writers. One of the bright little boys of much more energetic crusade against for- eign corporations by the Tax Department seems to be carried on this year from the fact that not only are corporations taxed which are organized under the laws of oth- er States and are known to be doing busi- mess in this State, but !t appears that the Tax ee has had an examination made of the records of the Secretary of State's office of many other States, especial- ly of New Jersey, and every person named in the certificates filed therein as an in- corporator or director, whose residence or whose office is in this c’ty, has been served with a notice of taxation, irrespective of whether the corporation had any business in New York or not. This action has caused considerable ‘ndignation. So far as the financial institutions located outside of the State are concerned, it has resulted in the. withdrawal by out-of-town banks of their accounts here in New York, and these withdrawals will continue.

ANDREW ALLEN ON TRIAL. He Is an M., K. & T. Official and the Prosecuting Witness Is Mat- thew M. Kelley. Andrew K. Allen, assistant general man- ager of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail- road, was placed on trial in the Court of Criminal Correction at noon Friday. ‘He is charged with ‘blacklisting. Matthew M. Kelley, 1415 South Montrose avenue, is the prosecuting witness, He is represented by Attorney E. F. Stone. Mr. Allen is represented by George P. B. Jack- son. the railroad’s attorney. The complaint alleges that prior to Feb- ruary, 1897, Kelley was a conductor on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad. At that time he was discharged from the com- ’s service by Division Superintendent . Lyons of Sedalia. Kelley was told was discharged for failing to turn in cash fares collected. Later, it is alleged, Mr. Allen sent out a list to other railroad companies, contain- ing among a hundred other names the name of Matthew M. Kelley, showing that he was discharged for failing to turn .n cash fares, Kelley alleges that the charge is false, and that it had the effect of keeping pla.n- tiff from obtaining employment on other railroads. Division Superintendent Lyons was the first witness. He said he had discharged Kelley, and he was reasonably certain that Kelley had failed to turn in cash fares collected. He could not assert it positively of his own knowledge. Witness received a list from Mr. Allen containing among others the name of Mr. Kelley, showing that he had been discharged for the cause assigned. Mr. Lyons said he furnished Mr. Allen with some of the information from which the lst was compiled. Mr. Lyons said he had no idea from whom he received the list, though he knew it came from St. Louts. Witness said he sent a copy of the list to trainmasters, roadmasters and other men in charge for their informatton. The men were discharged for cause, and the tra.n- masters and others were entitled to the information. The men named. on the list were deemed undesirable, and should not be re-employed. Neither the trainmaster nor an inferior officer could employ any man named on the list without first speaking to witmess about it.

The Heberts live at 3517 North Market street, and the two houses are within a few yards of each other. Miss Lizzie Hee bert is % years old, and her father, Albert Hebert, says she has been mentally de- ranged for years. He testified that on Dec. 17 he saw Joerss and his demented daugh- ter coming out of a shed in the rear of his house. It was about 6 o’clock in the evening, and rather dark. Mr. Hebert at once suspeee something wrong, although he was loath to believe such dishonor of his neighbor. His suspicions were confirmed later, after questioning his daughter. “She admitted her disgrace to me,” said Mr. Hebert, “although apparently uncon- scious of the gravity of her offense. I im- mediately began an investigation, -and Joerss vigorously denied all wrong doing. I feared to tell my son, knowing h's impul- sive temper. “The matter preyed terribly on my mind, and I at last decided to tell George. That was Dec. 31, As soon as he heard of the out- rage he went to Joerss’ house, called him out and gave him the beating he so richly deserved.,”’ Joerss procured & petes summons against young Hebert Jan. 2.

The United States would be justified in inter- vening in Cuba awan act of necessity or of hu- manity, but never as a means of protecting holders of Spanish bonds. To withhold intervention when justice and humanity demand it and then to intervene in the interest of speculators who have taken risks in Spanish promises to pay and Spain's ability to hold and squeeze the Cubans would be a disgrace to this country. If Spain chooses to accept for the benffit of her creditors the offer of the insurgents 40 pay for independence it is none of our business, But for us to help in shifting the debt Spain has ac- cumulated, for the purpose of sustaining her despotism in Cuba, on the backs of the victims would be a little meaner than anything we have been charged with doing or intending tc do. 3 Let us intervene whenever it is right to do so in the name of justice, or of liberty, or of humanity—in short, for a righteous cause—but not in the interest of grasping bondholders who Want us to make a bad speculation good by seizing and taxing Cuba.

It is evident that the Pacific Coast protesters against the promotion of Attorney-Genera] Mc- Kenna to the Supreme Court made a fatal mis- ‘take. They based their protest on the ground that McKenna was a man of too small mental caliber for the place. The ground of the protest should have been reversed, The President is a small bore politi- cian and is dominated by small bore politicians. Nothing but a small bore lawyer would fit the job McKenna is expected to fill on the Supreme Bench. If the Pacific Coast people had protested that McKenna's mental and moral caliber was too big to fill the place of a plutocratic judge, the nomination might not have been made. Big men are not wanted in the McKinley outfit. The disinclination of the Hanna machine for an‘investigation does not surprise any one. a A DISGUISED BLESSING.

With this provision for party registration books the primary law of Missouri would be ap- proximately perfect. Fraud would be carefully guarded against and the voters would have an ‘opportunity to register their will at the prima- ries and to have it made effective in the count. This is all the law.can accomplish for the voter. It cannot drag him to the polls and make him vote. —_—-___—_—- $ ¢ o— Chief Harrigan heartily indorses the Post-Dis- /patch’s suggestion that George Graham, the ex- |policeman who shot Footpad McDonald, be re-| instated on the force. If the statement of the killing and of Graham’s reformation in the mat- ter of drinking prove true, it would be a wise act ‘to reinstate the man. He has earned reinstate- 'ment. Graham proyed that he is brave, cool and quick in the face of extreme danger. Men of ‘his stamp are needed to deal with the thugs that infest the city. a La > —_—---— SS THE NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE. There is one trait in Senator Hanna’s char- acter for which he has never been given proper credit by the unthinking public, viz., his deep and humble piety. In an after-dinner speech in New York just after the election in 1896, Mr. Hanna revealed the astonishing fact that during the campaign he had had “one hand on God and the other on McKinley.” This shows how close and in- timate was the friendship then existing be- tween the three parties—God, Hanna and Mc- Kinley—and, of course, is more than sufficient to account for Mr. Bryan's defeat. Again, on Jan. 12, Senator Hanna sent the following telegram to Mr. McKinley: “God reigns and the Republican party still lives.” The plain inference from this is that if Mark had been defeated at Columbus, God's reign would have come suddenly to an end and chaos would have spread its black wings over the universe. Thus we see that once more the cele- brated triple alliance of God, Hanna and Mc- Kinley gets in its work. The question occurs, is not this simple and ehildlike trust the secret of Mark’s success in the muddy sea of politics? May not the knowl- edge of his invincible strength resulting from his alliance with the two other parties men- tioned have accounted for his seemingly reck- less courage in declining to “give up a dollar,” even when the fate of the Almighty himself ‘depended upon the outcome of the struggle? It is hard to say which is the more to be admired, Mr. Hanna’s power of refined and felicitous ex- pression, or the subtle diplomacy which effected the combination above referred to. Let all aspiring statesmen study this example of the power of piety,in politics. If ‘the deepest wage cut ever made in this country” has followed the enactment of the Dingley law, there must be something radically wrong with the theory that a high tariff in- creases wages in protected industries. Lb Le Le i Guns are used in ‘tthe postoffice contests in North Dakota. The energetic Republicans in that part of the Union are mgking the fight of their lives for pie. > > — More than half the wool sales in Boston dur- ing the past week were of foreign wools. Mr. a rr what ground President McKinley based the opinion expressed in the congratulatory tele- gram that the election of Hanna was of bene- fit to the country. Among certain radical economic reformers it is a current maxim that “things must get much worse before they will get better.” The obvi- ous meaning of the maxim is that when things get so bad the people cannot tolerate them they change things. On this theory the election of Hanna was a blessing. The Ohio boss is am awful example and the Iiving proof that some things in politics must be changed. — o——_ —____ —-— Competition is the life, trusts the death, of trade. = = THE MOST EXPENSIVE DINNER. Dinner for twelve persons can be had in St. Louis for 84 cents. That is the minimum. The coftiiest? The price would make an ordinary man’s head swim. Imagir®, if vou can, the ambrosia] taste and scent of soup that costs $2.50 a plate, and then try and figure out the twelve-course dinner for a dozen hearty eaters. Some interesting figures in this connection will be given by the Sunday Post-Dispatch. The actual cost of a dinner which will be a marvel of luxury and indulgence will be given in de- tail. Many a family lives for a year on less money than it will take to furnish pleasure for a dozen gourmands for one evening. Do you know what the bicycle girl of 1898 will look like?

Enthusiastic reformers, who are giving local application to the demand for the reform of primary elections, seem to be ignorant of the fact that the State Legislaure at the last session expended a great deal of reform energy on a primary reform measure. That measure was excellent in the main. It placed the primary elections under the super- vision of the Board of Election Commissioners and threw around them as nearly as possible all the safeguards of the election laws. Rut it lacked one point to completeness. The becks used for primary elections contain the general registration of voters of all parties, in- a ap'ead of having only the registered voters of the party holding the election.

A Romance or a Hoax in SHE ARRIVES AT CLEVELAND TO-DAY TO SELECT ONE FROM THE THOU- SAND SUITORS. Which a Forest City Detec tive Poses asa Matrimonial Agent. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OLEVELAND, O., Jan, 14.—Cleveland is just now the center of a most remarkable ‘sensation—one which did not suffer any abatement of popular interest during the fiercest period of the Senatorial struggle. Either one of the strangest feminine es- capades on record is about to be consum- mated here or one of the most colossal hoaxes of the century is to be perpetrated. The case referred to is the mow cele- brated ‘“‘wealthy widow” venture in which Detective Jake Mintz has assumed the role of matrimonial agent. Ever since the pub- lication by ‘Mintz of a communication pur- porting to come from a young and beauti- ful widow at New York, whose worldly possessions aggregate the trifle of $1,500,- 000 and who is anxiously looking for some one to love her, the wily Hawkshaw’s mail has been brought to his office in a wheel- barrow. The fair bereaved one, it was al- leged, yearns unceasingly for a husband, and so she sought the services of Cleve- land’s renowned sleuth to hunt down a man who would love her in spite of her money. After Mintz had carefully had himself interviewed about the matter a few times, and these interviews had been duly pub- lished, returns from the back counties were not slow in coming in. It seemed that the entire male population of the country had just been waiting for an opportunity to ten- derly care for the lonely little thing and in- cidéntally to look after her lucre,. As a re- sult the postal department has experienced a decided ‘boom, while ‘telegraph compa- nies have done a land office business. But things have finally come to a focus. Mintz announced that the “‘‘widow’’ would arrive in Cleveland from New York to-day, Mintz himself will meet her at the train and drive with her to the Stillman House, which will be her headquarters during her stay in the Forest City. There will be a great many people beside Mintz waiting to ———— receive her, and it is probable that her arrival will be marked by a demonstration closely resembling Senator Hamna’s post- election levee. It ig claimed that a consid- erably army of suitors have already arrived in Cleveland and are eagerly awaiting the dear one’s coming. “I have on file over 1,200 applications from men who desire to marry my prztege,” éaid Mintz. “Most of these pecZie send their photographs. Many of them are handsome and intellectual in appearance. I have selected a few of the most promising applicants, and from this list the widow will choose her husband. She will return to New York alone, while her fiance will follow {n a private car, chartered at her oo gr sg From the moment of the betrothal till the bridal day the man will be under constant surveillance of a corps of private detectives. You see the lady is determined to make no mistake, I know her name and also her motive in adopting this unusual method fn securing a husband, but am not at liberty to divulge either at this particu- lar time ‘Many of the prospective suitors are al- ready on the ground—they came early to avoid the rush, vou eee. I will probably ex- perience some difficulty in managing the mob. I have already been threatened with eviction from my office in the Cuyahoga building because of this business, as it is feared that the great number of callera will discommode the other tenante. I will ad- mit that the undertaking has assumed al- most appalling proportions. ‘‘As to the widow's personality, all I can tell you now is that she is white, of Ameri- ean birth and German extraction. hand- some, wealthy, educated and refined. Her social standing is unquestioned. She ia 33 years of age and has one child, a girl of 1). She is at present in Buffalo with a party of friends, who will accompany her to Cleve- jJand.”’ “It is true that the lady apartments at th'e house.”’ said Bundy of the Stiliman, who is anxious ‘(Oo help things along. “The suite reserved for her use is the same occupied by Melba during her recent visit to Cleveland.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 14.—William Reinecke, Vice-President and Manager of the Kentucky Trust Co., has left town. At the same time he left a deed of assign- ment with an agent, to whom he said he was going to try to make arrangements with creditors. The directors found the books in a tangle and the company without assets of any sort. The vault was cleaned out of collat- eral, and an attempt had even been made tv mortgage it for $2,000. The entire capital and deposits of the company had been dissi- pated, It is feared the company is heavily in- volved, as Reinecke is said to have solid many real estate bonds, which, it is be- lieved, were issued on mythical assets. It is certain that the stockholders wiil not oniy lose their shares, but will have other heavy losses to make good. Reinecke was one of the most zealous church workers in Louisville. Many church. funds were deposited in his trust com- pany. He was the Italian Consul here. Directors of the trust company refused to say whether criminal proceedings could or would be brought.

NELLIE LI IIE ED ES RON Ree Res ‘Pine street. tion of ' Proprietor Pees _ sa A SCATHING MESSAGE REGARD- ING THE SENATORIAL ELEC- TION IN OHIO. ‘ THE FIGHT NOT YET OVER. The Bribery Charges Are Going to Be | Pushed With Special Attention to the Long Term. OOLUMBUS, O., Jan. 14.—It Is reported that Allen O. Myers, the Democratic leader, sent the following to President McKinley: “Your telegram to Hanna and his tele- é Zram to you are two insults to every honest man in the United States and an outrage on decency. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. You prayed while Dick and Hanna bought a seat in the United States Senate— a fact that will be thoroughly proved. Peo- ple who have pitied you as a dupe wil now denounce you as a full, but not silent partner of this firm of conspirators against ihe great mass of the people. The hour oi judgment is at hand.”’ + Senator Hanna will return here by Tues- day next. The leaders on both sides are still here and preparing for another fight hext week. The opposition to Hanna was defeated in iis election, but it proposes to fight Tow acainst him being seated for the long term. isienemies say they have not the time to uterfere on the short term, but they will Press the bribery charges, as such charges were pressed on Henry B. Payne 14 years #20, to the United States Senate. Sub- Sieg ge have been issued for Senator Hanna, “aj, Wick, W. D. Hollenbeck, H. H, Boyce “and, others to appear before the Senate Committee next Tuesday n'ght. Libel suits have been brought against several Repub- licun papers for damages in connection with the bribery charges, notably one by . (. Campbell for $100,000 against the Ohio S.ate Journal. Atnong the managers for Senator Hanna *who are still here and will remain until the investigation is completed is Hon. E. G. Rathbone, who says he wants the bribery in- ‘Wwestigation pushed to the last ditch. He says those who were in that business are raising ‘the ery against others, and that the investi- #4tion will show. who is guilty and who is ‘being persecuted, as well as slandered. While the Senate Committee, of which Senator Burke is chairman, began its investigation yesterday, the House Committee will not be &ppainted until next Muesday. NOT A POOLROOM NOW. . Post-Dispatch Exposure Resulted in a Rapid Change. | There is no handbook being kept at 719 There has not been since the Post-Dispatch expose of Thursday. When the noon edition of the paper ap+ peared with its account of the open viola- the law coneerning poolrooms, Frank Berry bestirred himself to heed off the police. The windows were thordughly cleaned. Wining tables and chairs were placed about the room jin proper ositions, the “‘merchants’ lunch” sign was righittened, and everything about the place was purged of even the very idea of horse- ‘fle sa, ' Then Proprietor Berry. telephoned for a Pest-Dispaich reporter “What I wanted,’ he said, “was to call you down about that handbook article. I am not running a book here and have not Since the police notified me. .I was the ‘first man in-town to quit. I had a book last week, but there is none here now.” And as he spoke the porter mopped the 5 vestige of frosting from the front win- OM. THEY BLAME THE FENDER. Coroner’s Jurors Lay Grace Reynolds’ Death to Accident. The Coroner’s investigation into’ the death of Grace Reynolds, 6 years old, liv- ging at 1511 Washington avenue, who was ‘Tun ower by a Lindell car Thursday even- ing, was made Friday. All the testimony showed that if the fen- der in front had done the work expected of it the child’s life would have been saved. The finding was “That the deceased, Grace Reynolds, came to her death at St. John's Hospital at 1 o’clock a. m., Jan. 18, 7898, from shocks and injuries received by being struck by east-bound car No. & of ‘the Lindell Railway Co., a short distance east of Fifteenth street, on Washington avenue, on Jan. 12, 1898, at 5 o’clock p. m. Sald accident was due to badly constructed fender.”’ The fender went over the child and failed to pick her up. SEQUEL TO A HONEY HUNT. Young Man of Clayton Arrested on a Farmer’s Warrant. honey A hunt for headed by John Bchnarr nearly resulted in a tragedy and ‘caused that young man’s arrest at Cjay- ton Friday.

A Coroner’s jury exonerated George Graham for the killing of Joseph H. Mc- Donald. Graham was set free. All of the east end of the Four Courts building was crowded with people anxious to hear the testimony and see the man who ‘slew a footpad. Not one-tenth of them could get inside the Coroner's office. Dr. Wait conducted the examination. On ‘the table In front of him were two pistols. One of them was a %8-caliber square- handled Colt, in holster. Graham carried it. The other was a cheap “bulldog’’, 38-caliber neg It was taken from McDonald's dead land. Graham sat in front of the |'witnesses, smiling. Apparently, he did not regret hav- ing taken the life of a highwayman. He had been paroled and released by Chief Har- rigaa Thursday night. On either side of him were Daniel Mur- phy and Frank Munsell, accused of being the dead robber’s accomplices. They are not supposed to have been concerned in the robber’s death, and to the laymen it Was not clear why they were there. Graham told his story as he told it in the Post-Dispatch of Thursday. The robber covered him with a pistol and, with an oath, ordered him to put his hands up. He reached for his pistol. (McDonald pulled the trigger of his revolver. The cartridge failed to explode. Graham got out his pistol and put two bullets in McDonald, one puncturing the heart. ; Charles McDowell, B. L. Myers, J. C. Trovillion, E. J. Sadriney, Ed Horstman, W. Broker, William C. Deitz and Charles Helley, storekeepers and residents on Cass avenue, between Fifteenth and Twenty-sec- ond, where Graham walked nightiy, testi- fied to his peaceful nature and good char- acter. John Munsell of 2733 Howard street, a brother of Frank Munsell; Willlam C. Dietz, John Nash, Phil McGutire, John Cal- lahan and Frank Zinger testified to prove an alibi for Dan Murphy. supposed to be one of the two men wiih MeDonald just before the latter was shot. They said that with Murphy they attended the wake of Ed- ward Toomey, who was murdered Wednes- day morning by Edward Dillard. At the conclusion of the testimony the jury promptly brought in a verdict of justi- flable homicide and Graham was released. The police are holding Munsell and Mur- phy on suspicion of being footpads. DID DESMOND FIRE THE SHOT? Damage Suit Against the Chief of De- tectives to Be Tried Monday. An interesting case is scheduled for trial in Judge Valliant’s division of the Circuit Court Monday morning. It is the suit of Henry Tolch vs. William Desmond, Chief of Detectives. Tolch sues for $6000 for the death of his son. The suit is brought as the heir and next best friend of Albert Tolch, a 12-year-old boy, who was Killed in front of the Four Courts Building in March, 15892. : That day a steer became separated from a herd at Twelfth ‘street and Clark avenue and went wild. The steer chased up Clark avenue, with horns close to the granite pavement. There was a panic in the street, and pe- destrians ran for shelter. Two or three persons were knocked down. Several policemen jumped into a wagon, The steer took to the sidewalk and charged at the wagon, The officers opened fire, and all emptied their pistols. A man began firing from a window in the Sheriff’s office upstairs in the Four Courts, and Chief Desmond opened fire from a window in the office of the Police Commissioners, next to the Jailer’s office. In the crowd, watching the fusillade, was Albert Tolch, a 12-year-old boy. He stood in front_of George Ebers’ cafe, across the street, and enjoyed the exc'tement. | A bullet struck the child in the middle of the forehead and instantly killed him. The boy’s father thinks Chief Desmond fired the bullet. STATE WOMEN’S CLUBS They Will Meet at Sedalia to Discuss Club Work.

There's another man in this town who ought to be on the police force. His name is | Conrad Bloemke, He is a@ grocer at 1120 O'Fallon street. Wednesday night he laid the wires which | may lead to the arrest of a gang of vehicle ' yobbers; whose operations began with the theft of a St. Louis Transfer Co. wagon, Jaden with valuable trunks. The police have been after these robbers | for weeks, Bloemke ran some of them down ' in five minutes. His delivery wagon, piled high with pro- visions, stood at his door. He saw three men climbing into the driver's seat. He ran out. ‘Here, none of «that,’’ cried Bloemke. One of the men pointed a revo.ver at the Srmoer. and another whipped up the horse. loemke was a bit surprised, Bue | groceries are groceries these days, an¢ | the price of horseflesh is going up. Bloem- | ke gave chase after the receding wagon, - le ran up. 0O’Fallon street two blocks. The menin the wagon stuck out thelr heads, They turned Thirteenth street. Bioemke turned, too. At Cass and Thir- ; teenth the wagon drew up to the curb. | The men were beginning to carry its con- 'tehnts into a hallway when Bloemke came up.

When he had recovered his bearings the grocer ran for help. | At night the wagon and horse were found, ‘abandoned ‘in the street. Special Officer Bambrick arrested John Haley.
