Charless Cabanne, college m an, athlete, soldier anf social favorite, a.day in a blg plant in East St. Louis to learn the who is working for $1.8) process of conducting a steel plant. —_ Arthur Lee Cabanne, College Man and Social Favorite, Undertakes Ap- prenticeship to Learn Steel Trade. Tired of society at the age of 2, Arthur Lee Cabanne, college man, athlete and so- cial favorite, son of wealthy J. Charless Cabanne of 4334 Westminster place, is wheeling pig iron,’ shoveling coal and ‘performing other tasks at the plant of the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Co., in East St. Louis, at $180 a day, to ac- quire a knowledge of the manufacture of steel. » He has entered a five years’ course of ap- prent.ceship and for that period will be lit- erally dead to the world and a recluse from the haunts he was wont to frequent. In the paraaee of the p.ant, he is a ‘third -molder’s helper,’’ the most humble and unremunerative position on the pay- roll. By any by, if his service is faith- tul, he will be promoted to the rank of ‘“‘second molder’s helper,’’ then to the first helpership, and éventually to the“position of molder, the highest honor he can hope to attain in a manual capacity at the works. His wages will be increased until it is possible for him to earn $4 a day. He works shoulder to shou.der 12 hours each day with hundreds of negroes and grimy-faced men. He spreads his noonday or midnight lunch on the same board with the motley throng and is a boon compan- sa with them in their brief respites from oil. The dash and polish of this popular young man is not discernible in his’ Vul- canic environment. He essays the same lane of his plebelan comrades and the act that he was reared In the’ atmosphere of affluence and luxury does not interfere with a common fellowship. Went to Work as “William Jones.”’ Mr. Cabanne attempted to enter the plant incog, but his identity becam’ known the second day of his service and he was com- pelled to register by his right name. A for- mer coachman for the senior Cabanne, toil- ing now in the same re with the young man, recognized him nd. before night the 1600 operatives of thé works knew that a scion of the old and distin- guished Cabanne family was one of their number. Mr. Cabanne had read where rich men's sons left palatial homes and luxurious sur- roundings to join the ge army of wage-earners, and feared that. his friends might think he was seeking a similar ave- nue for publicity. That was the reason he preferred to receive his wages under the name of Willlam Jones. He is not following another's precedent. He is not emulating auother’s ¢xample simply for the sake of convincing the worid that a rich man's son will labor. He a “third molder’s helper’ today in the ho that he will be gradually promoteéd to the most skillful position in tne plant, so that he may -learn every department of steel- mak and finally be able to own and suc- cessfully operate a similar industry. That is the ambition of his life. He does not be- lieve that a man can conduct an tren foun- dry unless he has had some actual expert- ence himself in the mechanical de ent. He will serve the five years ro gS nee ‘ as Un- SER sce, ee : , : : , o—» - “ . A d “Sy ~~ So Se » " dS SS tS . : : . * . / parts, to go to the children of five deceased | brothers and sisters. As both Mr. Biggs and the three asso- ciated Pike County lawyers mentioned claim to have authority from Samuel Estes to represent him, this poate of the case will be passed upon by Circuit Judge I Eby at the June term of court. At the Octo- ber term the suit to break the will at Bowling Green will be heard and the ar- ray of legal talent promises to be of a char- arene that will make the contest memor- able. Pearson & Pearson of Loulsiana, a law firm composed of Eugene and Ras Pear- son, who were attorneys for Fielden Hates during the past five years of his life, are defending the estate. Associated with them is W. M. Willlams of Boonville, formerly a justice of the Missouri Supreme Court. Joe Tapley of Tapley & Fitzgerald is Pike County's representative in the legislature. Eugene Pearson practiced law in Kansas City many years. Ras Pearson, the youngest lawyer in the contest, and the most interesting, having drawn the will, was prosecuting attorney of Pike County for two terms and is men- tioned as a candidate for Congress in the ee of Champ Clark's election to the Sen- ate.

Since 1881 no Pike County docket has been without an Estes case, and from time to time changes of venue have been taken to Ralls and St. Charles counties, while the supreme court reports show various de- cisions in these cases. Too Busy to Marry, and tI Cost Too Much. | Fielden Estes died Sep:. 29, 190, at his home on the outskirts of Louisiana, at the age of 8. He was never married. He had no education, being barely able to read and write. «When I was a young ." he told _ Prarson, “I was too bu to marry. When I screw older and made money | was afraid of women. I was afraid they would want to marry me for my money alone, and I wouldn't have none of that sort of thing.” » Dr. Crewdson, however, this . old bachelor once confided ght of marrying. poe 4 7 at i; z . , Be) P i @ Bat?
