Christmas is the children's day of days. * 9 — 0 * & * ¢ * > 9 8 9 * 2 > * 8 8 2 4 8 All its assciations are intimately connected with the ohildren’s patron saint, dear old Santa Claus. Are you aware that there are in St. Louis thousands of children who would not see him if it were not for the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival? These are the Hitle children of the poor, the little childreh who often go hlungry and are often cold. It is the purpose of the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival to provide all these with a Christmas dinner, a toy and other Christmas cheer. The dinner will take place in the Coliseum. Bach child will be given a free ride on the street cars from his home to the Coliseum and back after the dinner. In the Coliseums, besides the dinner of turkey, pie, cake, coffee and oranges, there will be music by a band, a gorgeous Christ- mas tree and entertainment of various sorts. Mr. Frank Wyman has seen Santa Claus, and the good old Saint has promised to be there, attended by a crowd of weary bar- lequins, who will amuse the children with their antics. There will be gifts for all the Httle chil- dren who otherwise would have none. It will be a great and glorious day for the little children of the poor. Now a word in the ear of all good people who have had a prosperous year: To give this Ginner to the poor children will take a lot of money. It must be pro- vided.. There can be no excuse for not be- ing a subscriber. Of course, you have oth- er obligations. We all have. Rut the obli- gation to the poor, and particularly to the children of the poor is a very pressing one. and cannot be disregarded. Every dollar you give to this fund will provide more than one child with a Christmas dinner it probably would ctherwise not have, eae toy and a lot of Christmas fun. Contribute to the Post-Dispatch Christ- mas Festival Fund. There is no cause worthier of your thought and money. F. De Dohato has contributed to the fund the finest imported French doll in his stock. This doll is a perfect beauty, with pink cheeks, eyes that open and close and real hair. It can all but peak. It is a doll that any little girl would fairly 0 wild over. Mr. Everett P. Teasdale, chairman of the supplies committee, will need a lot of cakes for the children on Christmas day. If la- dies would bake cakes and send them to the Coliseum or to him at 8% North Fourth street. the day before Christmas, it would be much appreciated. The fund is growing, but much more money 14 needed. you get a Post- Dispatch Christmas festival subscription blank put down your name for a generous eum. and wet the Ust to circulating among your friends, Then inclose it with the umns of the Post-Dispatch; and you will have the happy consciousness of having been the host to many little children who jotherwise would have no Christmas dinner el — Dear Bante ( ' 1 5 4 Re * — 1 * yy . 1 41 ky = 4 K. . * Be „ e. nn * 1 tua 9 . nn . $ 9 é 8 i 8 ted ~~? 2 =~ Street Oars Will Carry Chil-| | FINEST DOLL IN ST.

FELLS MAY DIE FROM Thomas Wy ' THROUGH THE if Terrific Explosion of Con- troller Box on Car. AVENUE BRIDGE HIS INJURIES. He Is Unable to Explain Cause of the Accident—Conductor Was Not Hurt—No Passengers Were Aboard. Injuries that may terminate fatally were received by David W. Fells, a motorman, in an explosion which occurred on the Grand avenue bridge at 5:45 this morning. As the car was crossing the bridge a ter- rific explosion occurred in the controller box. Fells was hurled off the platform and against an iron girder of the bridge. His left leg was fractured, his shoulder was dislocated, one rib was broken and he sus- tained other njuries, internal and exter- nal. he was taken directly after the accident, are undeelded as to whether he will live or die. There were no passengers in the car. Officials of the St. Louis Transit Co. said this morning they had received no re- ports of the accident yet, and were un- able to offer an explanation of the acc dent. MOTORMAN’S EXPLANATION. Motorman Fells gave the following expla- nation of the occurrence to a reporter for the Post-Dispatch: . “Conductor Jennings and myself were taking Bellefontaine car No. 1929 to Belle- fontaine avenue, to begin our first trip. From Chouteau avenue to the bridge the grade is down hill, and we were coasting, using no electricity at all. The car was completely under the control of the brakes, and was not going at an unusually rapid rate. When we reached the Grand avenue bridge I turned on the power five points. Immediately thece was a fearful explosion. I felt myself flying through the air and knew nothing mere until I was revived by persons summoned by Conductor Jen- nings. I have no idea why the explosion should have occurred. I understand it was the controller that exploded. The controller is in the box on and under the front plat- form beside which the motormun stands. I have often turned on the current in the same way before without producing any bad results. CONDUCTOR NOT HURT. Fells lives at 3411 Meramec street, and is an experienced motorman. Conductor Jennings was uninjured, al- though the shock thew him off his feet. He hurried for medical assistance for Fells as soon as the accident haj:pened. The entire front end of the car was completely - wrecked. MARRIAGES EIRTHS, CEATHS Marriage Licenses.

DIE OF POISONS Tona Dunlap's Counsel Raises This. Question. EXPERTS GIVE TESTIMONY EFFORT MADE TO SHATTER THE STATE’S BEST POINT. Humorous Incident at Trial When & Feminine Witness Appealed to the Court Help Her Conceal Her Exact Age. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. ALEDO, III., Dec. 12.—Dr. Browning, who assisted Dr. Reynolds in the autopsy on the body Of Miss Allie Dool, the day after her death, was placed on the stand this morn- ing by the state in the trial of Tona Dun- lap for poisoning. He corroborated his colleague’s state- ments of the day previous that Miss Dool’s death was due to strychnine. He was rigidly cross-examined by the defense, but not to such.length as Dr. Reynolds. Dr. Crafton, the Chicago expert, who made an analysis of Miss. Dool’s stomach and the poisoned bit of chocolate candy, next took the stand. ie desaribed the methods pursued in obtaining the analysis, and said he found traces of strychnine in the stomach and candy. The trial developed into an inquiry on toxicology when the expert was turned over to the attorneys for the defense, but his testimony was unahaken. The defense, in all its cross-examination of the medical experts, sought to. obscure and efface the strength of their statements. Dr. Reynolds was the center of their at- tacks. He was on the stand five hours yes- terday. Under the questioning of Public Prosecutor Scott he told of his ministra- tions to Miss Dool in her dying moments, assisted by Dr. Browning. Attorney Searle, with whom the physt- cian had several spirited tilts during the arguments as to the admissibility of Miss Dool's dying statement, again sought to confuse the witness. Every answer of the physician was guardedly given. He weighed carefully every utterance. It was brought out that Dr. Reynolds has been the at- tending physician for the Dool family a dozen years. He stated that Miss Dool's general health was good; that only once in the past year had he been called in to attend her professionally. On July 2% last, he said, she was ill in bed when he was tummoned. He found her suffering from acute indigestion. What did you prescribe for her?“ sharp- ly demanded Attorney Searle. “It’s not professional ethics to divulge such things, nor am I accustomed to do so. If the court directs me I can do no Other than accede:”’ Judge Ramsey ruled the question compe- tent. The prescription was produced and the chemical ingredients named, the cluef = being pepsin. e purpose of the defense was plain! shown to diszredit the atrychnine yond by rere ae that Miss Dool was sub- ject to acute indigestion, With her stom- ach in a debilitated condition her death might have been due to ptomaine poisoning or from other causes.

The Theory of the Defense. Judge Connell, senior counsel for the de- fendant, made the following statement to the Post-Dispatch: ‘‘We believe our client innocent. We are confident of an acquittal. There are things connected with this trial which will startie people more than any- thing that has yet been deve.oped. “As to the line of our defense, we are In the main, decided.

The full light of publicity will be thrown upon every feat- ure as far as we are concerned.” There is a constant feeling that a bomb is to explode any moment during the triai. Startling developments are expected as goon as the medical experts are disposed of. The defense has been led to expect that the prosecution's strong card is to prove that a man in Felix's store was the motive adtuating the defendant to rid herself of or fancied rival in Miss Dool and tions are being made to onor and r —— of their ollowed, it may of revelations now veguely again was the result in a anti tod.

A %-months-old child of Mr. and Mra. Robert Nuttmann of Birkner Station, St. Clair County, a few miles from Belleville, seemed to have died yesterday. The par- ents, having no doubt that the little one was dead, prepared it for burial. A Belleville physician, who had been summoned and who arrived at the Nutt- mann home after the supposed death of the child, found that life remained, and under his treatment it still lives. i child was taken ili suddenly and its condition became so serious that the father sent a messenger to Belleville for a physician. As the latter was on his way he was met by a neighbor of the Nutt- manns, who told him that the child had died. Not doubting, but desiring to com- fort the parents, doctor drove on to e house. * found that the child had been pre- red for burial, and its face had been andaged, but discovered that a spark of life remained, and by hard work guc- ceeded in restoring vitality. The child is still quite sick, but there is a possibility that it may recover. * Btorekeepers Warned. J. H.

VERDICT FOR FULL AMOUNT INDICATIONS POINT TO ROBBERY AND MURDER. — Prosperous Butcher Disappeared Seven Years Ago in Company of Desper- ate Men, Who Have Not Since Been Seen. James Keech was adjudged legally dead in Judge Ferriss’ Court Thursday. Seven years have elapsed since he myste- riously disappeared, and as there has been no explanation of his dusappearance and no tidings of the missing man, a jury de- clared him déad to all intents of the law, and awarded his widow the amount of an insurance policy for $2110, which he carried in the benefit crganization of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. The solution of Keechs fate has baffied the police for eight years. He was a biack- 2 smith by trade and lived at 3411 Montana avenue. He owned his own home, but it bore an encumbrance in the shape of a small mortgage. In the fail of 1894 Keech embarked in the butcher business at 203 Gamble street, and appeared to be doing well in his new vocation. He was a man of social habits, and became a member of the Ancient Or- der of United Workmen. His disappearance dates from Deo, 4, 1894. On the morning of that day he mount- ed his wagon to fill some orders of custom- ers. There was nothing unusual in his manner, and the impression of his partner was that he would return as soon as his or- ders were delivered. He was iast seen at Tenth and Morgan streets, where he delivered meat to a Sa- ioonkeeper. LEFT WITH EX-CONVICT. From this point tne police traced him to a saloon at Fourth street and Lucas ave- nue, where he was said to have been in company with an ex-convict and a man with whom he had had business.

Several days later Mrs. | Keech received the papers by mail. The name of one of the men said to have been with her husband ‘ast was written on the return address portion of the envelope. Ths number to which the letter was to be returned in event of the non-delivery to Mrs. Keech was 905 North Eighteenth street. The police followed this clew, but found neither of the men. A hegro porter in the Lucas avenue sa- ‘loon thraw some light on the puzzle. He told the detectives that Keech had been Grinking to excess, that his companions placed him in the wagon in a stupefied con- dition, and started the horses towards the river. BELIEVES CRIME WAS Co- MITTED. After exhausting every known method to rove him alive or dead his wife availed ertelf of ths statute which presumes death after unexplained absence of seven years. She brought suit in the Circult Court as the beneficiary of the insurance policy he carried with the Ancient Order of United Workmen. She testified at the trial yesterday that she was fully convinced that her husband had been foully murdered. There was no reason for his digappearance. His domestic relations were pleasant. His half interest in the Gamble street meat market was a profitable one. Had Me intended to desert her he would first have sought to dispose of his preperty. Other witnesses, including George Rich- mond, a friend of Keech, stated that it was their belief that Keech was murderea. Mrs. Kecch's attorney. J. Carter Castena, showed that she had paid ques on her hus- band’s policy until Feb. 1, 1996, and would have continued to do so had not the order refused to accept further paymonts.

Sante Claus was my host yesterday. With him I went through his St. Louis store- houses, from which will come the toys that are to be yours when Christmas comes, little children. And when I teil you all about them I am afraid the great big children will want to sing Backward, Turn Backward.” At least that was what d wanted to do. “Bo you want to see things,“ said Santa Claus, as he iooked firSt at my card and then at me, while I shivered. Not that Banta Claus is a bit scary looking, not that I’ve been particularly bad, at least not lately, but because Santa Claus is San- ta Claus, and knows things about times long ago. “You weren't always so curious, Santa ‘Claus continued, at least not that night when that inquisitive brother of yours coaxed you to stay awake and watch for me. I remember distinctly that you went to sleep.“ Im a woman now, I answered, knowing what else to say. “Of course, replied Santa Claus, and for that same reason you'll tell all that you see.“ es, I said meekly, too frightened to fib. Nevertheless, I'll take you, but you'll have to be blindfolded while we're going.“ SOMBONE PUT ON BLINDFOLD. That's easy, I remarked, while some- one from somewhere wrapped something Soft about my eyes. Then I was turned three times about and walked to goodness knows where. At last someone took the wrapping from m eves and I found myself in the house of dolls. Dolls were the only thing about. Baby dolis, lady dolls, boy dolls, negro Golla, goo-goo eyed dolls, celluloid doils, 2 5 even a Clarence the Cop doll. of all there were broken dolls Broken handed dolls, dolls without 15 eyes, dolls with ugly holes in their eads, and dolls that had lost much saw- ee is — to quiet the won “0, Said I. “Yes, N is where we make sick dolle ell. costs something, but it ie worth F My physicians and nurses cure lw Olle a day. ere are the cured ones. instead a. 3 not my doll ‘hospital, ald Santa ering look on my The convalescents, About, were all lying in a — pros ‘ “They're resting,”’ 141.

On that date he went to his work as foreman at the United States arsenal depot in the morning. He kissed his wife good-by and said nothing of leaving town. He did not re- turn at supper time and his wife became much worrted. Her concern § increased when she learned that he had not been at work at all durng that day. Since then she has become so anxious about him that she is almost prostrated. She cannot s'eep and sits at the window * and night watching for his coming. hen he went away he wore a dark- gray business sult. a dark-gray overcoat and a black soft hat. On his left hand was a heavy gold ring w'th a carbuncle set. His watch and chain were of heavy gold and on the chain was a locket con- taining the pictures of Himself and wife. Ilie necktie was black and white. Clark is K years old. His hair and mus- tache are black, with some streaks of ges His eyes are biuck. He is about feet — inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. Ile has been despondent for about a morth over troubles connected with his work. GCSES ——v— — — — — “T nearly 8 to show you the buggies and go-carts hey cost me from $1 to $9. And the tea sets.

You don't want to big any more. You want to go back to your — house in the 2 or some other place stay there all the time. “Obese on,“ said Santa Claus, but you'll have to have that thing over your face egain. We're going to another place. Be- fore he finished, doll land was gone from my vision, shut out by that soft thing wrapped about my eyes. We did some walk- ing, and when the thing came off again we were inside a place where were things for boys. First I saw the automobiles. One was tiny, only about 8 inches long, but it went. It had rubber tires, too, a steering gear, and wae painted It was worth a dollar. Then there were big ones like the little one, only you could ride in them if you worked them — foot power. They cost all the way up to $20 Next to them were hand cars, painted red, they were to be worked by the feet, and had levers in front. SKATES AND HOCKEY STICKS. “That lever is just the thing for exer- cise,’’ said Santa Claus, it will do some weak boy good. Hardcars cost from 33.50 to $7. Here's an express wagon that can be used for a coaster on snowy davs if the wheels are tuken off. It coasts $7.50. Here are some other coasters to be used when it doesn't snow. You can silde down the hills on these, and use oe wheols for run- ners. They're the kind 1 give the children in california.” “M-m-m. and here are skates said I.

FRICTION BETWEEN THE ALLIES WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—A cablegram received at the state department today from Minister Bowen at Caracés states that the Venezuelan government has re- quested him to propose to Great Britain and Germany that the difficulties arising out of the claims for alleged damages and during the civil war be submitted to arbi- tration. In conformity with the understanding already reached with the representatives of the British and German governments here, the proposition from President Castro will be laid before those governments, the state department acting merely as a channel of communication. Not much hope is entertained of the fa- vorable reception of the proposition, as it is felt that the difficulty has progressed too far for a peitlement by the peaceful methods of arbitration. The relations between the countries at present are those of real war, although technically the principals prefer to desig- nate it as something less. In doing so Great Britain and Germany are simply following the course taken during the war with Chi- na, when, notwithstanding the fact that the allied fleet battered down Taku and captured and distributed a number of Chi- nese naval vessels, no declaration of war was forthcoming. VENEZUELA PROPOSES TO FIGHT Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. CARACAS, Dec. 12.—It is stated on good authority that the Venezuelan government has asked United States Minister Bowen to act as arbitrator in the controversy with Great Britain and Germany. The English telephone office here, the railway and ev- erything belonging to Great Britain and Germany has been seized. Preparations for war are seen on every hand. The country seems to be united in an effort to repel invasion. PREPARING FOR WAR. At La Guayra the defense preparations at the strategic points on the highways back of the town are being vigorously pushed forward. The depowits of powder in the Fortress of La Visia and San Carlos have been removed. Great patriotic demon- strations are being made, and every one capable of bearing arms is offering his services. 1 All the deposits cf coal in the navy yard and all the British cars on the LaVauira railroad have been brought here, rendering Imposrble the transportation of the allied troops by rail. Gen. Ferreca, minister of war, spent all day today in choosing pots in the mountains where trenches are to be dug. The governor of Caracas has issued the following decree: „All the Venezuelans living in strict, between the ages of years must enroll themselves in the militia. Many such persons refusing to enroll vol- untarily, as patriotism demands, will be de. clared traitors and sent before the tribu- "ALL PRISONERS RELEASED PRI : ALL after a long conference with President Castro, United States Minister Bowen obtained an order for the liberation of the remaining British and German sub- jects who were held prisoners, and an hour later all had been released. " Minister Bowen and Secretary of Lega- tion Russell went to the jail five times and assisted the poor colored British subjects and those who were ill. The order for the release of the prisoners bas made a good impression, and is looked upon as a politic act on the part of Presi- dent Castro. Everyone in Caracas believes that war is unless Minister Bowen succeeds in hav- the matters in dispute submitted to ar- the federal 18 and 8 injuries to British and German subjects. VKE ADMIRAL A. ar a GERMAN SCUADBON oe hatchet of revolution is to be buried in the greater struggle that may come. Gen. Matos, the revolutionary leader, is reported to be marching to the city with his entire army to throw his forces with his country against the common foes. Castro characterizes the seizure and de- struction of his fleet as an act of war un- precedented in the history of civilized na- tions. The fleet was destroyed before Cas- tro's answer to the ultimatum had been read by the allies. The first boat captured was the gunboat Bolivar, which was seized in the harbor by the British cruiser Charybdis. She landed the Solivar’s officers at Port of Spain, Trinidad, while the British sloop Alert took the crew of the captured gun- boat to the port of Guiria, situated on the Venezuelan coast opposite to the Island of Trinidad. The British torpedo boat Quail then pro- ceeded to the Orinoco to capture the Vene- guelan warships on blockade duty there. Meanwhile the combined German and British fleet seized and towed outeide the harbor of La Guayra all the vessels which were then there. Those were the warehips Oooo eeoeoooed 2 + GERMANY’S SIDE OF THE CONTROVERSY. The German side of the controversy with Venezuela, a presented to the German Parliament Dec. 8, follows: German settlers lost in the civil] war prior to 1900, 1,700,000 bolivars ($340,000), through forced loans, seizures of cattle, and pillaging of houses and estates; and in the last civil war they lost an additional 83,000,000 bolivars ($600,000). The comm'selon of Venezuelan officials appointed in January, 1901, to decide the claims was not satisfactory, because all claims arising previous to President Cas- tro’s administration were ignored, dip'o- matic protests were precluded, and the fla‘ms would only be paid with bonds of the new revolutionary loan, which would be evidently almost worthless. The German minister at Caracas having failed to get these points altered, Germany felt compelled to refuse altogetber to rec- ognize the commission. Similar refusals wére made by Great Britain, the En ted States, Italy. Spain and the Netherlands, but as Venesuela insisted Germany exam- ined the claims and made Venezuela respon- sible for those which were apparently well founded. Venesvela then promised a sat- isfactory solution through congress, but the letter simply reverted to the commiesion. Venezuela deci:ned further discussion and refused to settle by diplomatic means. To force a settlement the German minis- ter at Caracas handed to the government on Dec. 7 an ultimatum demanding the im- mediate payment of the war claims to 1°00, and a satisfactory statement regarding the fixing and guaranteeing the amount of the claims aria‘ng from the recent civil war.

NO TIME FOR ARBITRATION LONDON, Dec. 12.—The foreign office of- ficials say they have not received informa: tion to the effect that Venezuela had re- qusted Mr. Bowen to act as arbitrator. They think it is not likely that the proposi- tion has been mede, but if such is the case they do not consider that arbi- tration at this stage would be acceptable to Great Britain. It is understood that nearly all of the Venzuelan news which the British govern- ment gets comes through the state depart- ment at Washington and is based on Min- ister Bowen's messages. WAITING ON UNITED STATES PARIS, Dec, 12.—A foreign office official made the following statement to the Asso- ciated Press: “No exchange of views has occurred be- tween the European powers concerning the Venezuelan situation, and no such exchange is intended, as it is definitey neld that the affair is one in which toe United States should be left free to take the initiative in moda tion.“ This statement was called out by the sug- gestion of the Tomps that it was time for HDurope to speak in the interest of univer sal peace. The official added: It is fully recognized hre and at the other capitais that the United States is the only power in a position to act as intermediary. Hence. there is no intention on the part of the Eu- ro an powers to take concerted or indi- vidual action.“ CASTRO RELIES ON UNCLE SAM Washington Officials Think Vene- zuela Is Defiant With This Pur- pose in View. Special to the Post-Diepatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Officials of the state department do not attempt to conceal their fear that there are grave and un- fortunate possibilities in the Venezuelan situation. The pricipal cause of uneasiness at the state department is due to the well- known disposition of President Castro to involve the United States in a quarrel with Englané aud Germany. He would, it is believed, go 80 far as to dofy the European powers to the point of declaring war upon Venezuela if he thought at London when he was appointed com- mander in chief of the British north At- lantic squadron last July. He was born in Quebec, and saw service on the Canadian lakes during the Fenian troubles in 1866, He was for a number of years at the head of the Japanese naval school at Tokio, be- ing lent to the Japanese navy for the purpose of training the naval officers of the nation, which recently formally became Great Britain's ally in the Orient. The allied fleet comprises the cruisers Retribution, Indefatigable, Ariadné, Trib- une and Charybdis, English; and the cruis- ers Gazelle, Vineta and Falk, German. La Guaira and Caracas, menaced by the fleets of Germany and Great Britain, are the most important towns in Venezuela, La Gualra is the port of Caracas and has a population of 8000 or more. Caracas is the capital of the Venezuelan republic, and is situated within a few miles of the port. @} o$o¢3¢903090009006090¢0¢900604¢ x far as this government is concerned.

The cOmmission seems to be determined to get at the truth, and let it go before the courtry. The facts 80 far brought out demonstrate ahoe more the value of publicity. No abuse can long survive a thorough exposire by the press. A # g . * The people of Missouri for years have striven to s ation in the state through the fair taxation of franchise property. Millions of dollars’ worth of property owned by steam and street railways and other corporations, salable in the markets and bringing interest or dividends to the holders, have escaped taxation. The burden which should have been borne by this species of property; the value of which is created oy public grants and privileges, has been shifted to the shoulders of farmers, merchants, manufacturers, laborers and house owners of all occupations. The Post-Dispatch hag voiced the sentiment of the people of the state and has tried to spur the State Board of Equalization to place a fair assessment upon franchise property. c f In response to the overwhelming sentiment of the voters, the Demoeratie party two years ago demanded in its platform that franchises be taxed, and at the sub- sequent session of the state legislature passed, and Gov. Dockery signed, a franchise tax bill, which is now in the statute books. In 1898 Attorney-General Crow made an effort to raise the assessment of franchise property in the state. He directed the attention of the board particularly to the assessment of street railway property in St. Louis. He pointed out that street railway property, worth in the market $40,000,000, was assessed at about one-seventh of its value, while other property in St. Louis was assessed on à basis of two-thirds of its value. g In this effort to equalize taxation by placing a fair share of the taxes on the wealthy and powerful franchise corporations, ex-Gov. Stone ranged himself and his great influence as ex-governor and leader of his party, on the side of the tax- | dodging franchise companies. | As the representative of street railway interests ex-Gov. Stone labored with the members of the board to prevent the raising of street railway assessments. Lon V. Stephens, then governor, and Attorney-General Crow favored the resolu- tion to increase the assessnient. Secretary of State Lesueur, Auditor Seibert and Treasurer Pitts opposed it, the vote standing 3 to 2 against it. In January of the following year the Post-Dispatch published a report of the ineffectual effort in 98 to raise the assessment, and the fight was renewed with some success, the board doubling the assessment of St. Louis street railway property at the ensuing session. Ex-Gov. Stone devoted his energies and his great personal and political influence to the work of preventing the proposed increase of taxation on franchised corpora- tions. oS To Attorney-General Crow he presented an elaborate legal argument, contending that it was not within the power of the board, under the statutes, to tax franchise property. He argued Phat a special law providing for franchise taxation would be necessary to enable the board to assess franchises. To then Gov. Stephens, ex-Gov. Stone appealed against the increase of assess- ment, on the ground of party policy and political expediency. He urged that it would be unwise to alienate the corporate interests, because it would endanger the party's success in the nation and the state. He urged that the Democratic adminis- tration in the state should be lenient with the rich and powerful corporations, in order ta gain their aid and support. ° Ex-Gov. Stone’s private efforts and arguments in behalf of the corporate inter- ests greatly astonished his personal and political friends who recalled his public utterances. This astonishment was expressed in a letter written to ex-Gov. Stone by ex-Goy. Stephens in February, 1899, after the former had urged the latter to, be efsy on the street railways. Following is an excerpt from that letter: “You will remember the fight we made together on the Board of Equalization for higher and more just taxation of railroad properties. And after this proud rec ord, when you stood up at all times for the people against the corporations, you cannot understa d my feelings when you came to my office and made a two hours’ speech in behalf of corporations—urged that we deal with them more leniently, ete.; that if we did not we would not only lose the election in the nation but would en- danger our own interests in the state. “Why should you so change in so short a time, I cannot understand. I only hope I have not understood you. But in conferring with others, I find you made this same impression upon them.” 4 ** n * . 3 1 * ge! 4 7 — * 55 15 Sunday.

The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival is a part of a great world-wide idea, fostered by the modern view of the meaning of Christmas. | | While we plan and work for this festival, pepular newspapers, religious societies and charitable persons in all the large cities are doing the same thing. In the leading cities of this coun- try especially, Christmas will mean comfort and joy to old and young arcong the poor this year, as it has never done before. In all these cities the people who can do so are gladly contribut- ing of their means to bring Christmas joy to those who are un- fortunate. As an example of what is being done, a Chicago frm, without solicitation, has contributed 1000 plum puddings to the dinner to be given by a popular newspaper of that city. Let us do our part. Let us feel that in St. Louis the spirit of hospitality and Christmas good will is abroad as it is elsewhere, and let us strive to outdo our sister cities in this foyous and seasonable work. .

A very small contribution from each of the readers of the Post-Dispatch will supply Christ- mas cheer to all the destituto children not otherwise provided for.

NAMING AND NUMBERING STREETS. A sane reformation of street nomenclature would be helpful hot only to strangers, but to old citizens. There is no reason, however, why the system of numbering cannot be combined with the names. The names of most of the Morth and south streets, even in the newly-opened districts in the west, have historical significance and should be retained. _ King’s highway is older than the town. Garrison avenue is a _ part of the city’s history and recollections are kept fresh by Ewing, Beaumont, Sarah, Union and Goodfellow. Why. cannot numbers be attached to all these names: thus, Garrison, 3000; Geodfellow, 5800; King’s highway, 50007 This ‘would enaple anybody to ascertain his whereabouts at a glance without sicrificing any landmarks.

I never made such thorough preparation for a jury argument as in this case, and in in order to sustain myself for the protracted flight of oratory I felt the need of a stimulant, which I knew not how to procure at the proper moment. It was suggested by Deputy Sam Carson that when I got fairly started he would procure a tumberful of gin, give it a dash of a handful of mud, so it could not be distinguished from river water, and set it on the desk by my side. Well, I got on swimmingly and appeared to be carrying the heavy load of 12 good men with me—everybody said so—when, after a pathetic allusion to the worse than widowed wife and worse than orphaned the woman reached forth her trembling, thin white hand and grasped the tumbler of old Tom gin. Evidently she mis- took it for a taste of perdition or worse. and as she cast it from her with a nervous shriek I lost the attention of my jury. Some of the fellows in the courtroom were mean enough to laugh, and even the con- vict’s wife ceased to mourn, as had been her custom. Well, the upshot of it all was that the jury lost confidence in me. The eloquence they had believed inspired by a confidence in my client's innocence and a desire to smooth the pathway of @ weeping wife they discovered had been awakened by & cumbler of gin and a handful of river sand, The convict got 15 years and I have never been able to endure gin since.

The boy looked gad for a time, then, giancing at the floor he noticed a troom- straw.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The two basebal! factions will de in conference here at 11 o'clock today. A decisive step to this end was taken last night in the solution of the baseball tangle. On Wednesday the National League sent a note to Ban Johnson proposing a con- ference. Johnson waited nearly thirty hours, during which he was in conference with his associates. He then wrote Gar y Hermann, agreeing to meet the National Leeguers today. Hermann submitted Johnson's note to the magnates. Those who will take part in the conference are Bafi Johnson, president of the American League; Charles Somers of Cleveland; J. F. Kilfoyle. president of the Cleveland Club; August. Hermann of Cin- James H. Hart of Chicago and Frank k de Hass Robison of St. Louis, the latter three representing the National ague Neither Hermann, Robison or Hart would give any intimation as to what propositions they will have to make. The American _. uers were more communicative. W. mmers said: ‘‘We will have“ 8 propositions to submit to our friends First, the two leagues should r ize each other’s reserves so that we can build up our teams without having players dd | us Just when they become valuable.

UP EARLY IN THE GAME Ten Rounds-All Law Allows McGovern and Corbett. NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Ten rounds will have to suffice for deciding the champion- ship bout between Terry McGovern and Young Corbett. While many champion- ship fights have been ended during a briefer period, few have been necessarily so I'mited. When asked if the limitation would hamper him, Young Corbett said: “Why should it? It didn’t take me 10 rounds to whip McGovern before. It will not this time, either.’’ The reason for the shortness of the — posed contest is that the Detroit re 1 permit only 10-round contests, an that Sol . ecided yesterday av Southern Athletic should e the scrap.

Carmory is still “rubbering”’ around for a racetrack of some sort. We dislike to descend to the use of argot in the instance “rubber,” but it is the only word which adeyuately expresses the elas- tRity of Carmody’s disposition. The former manager of Kinloch has had his patience stretched beyond all limits, been sat upon by syndicates and squeezed by autocratic turf bodies until only a caoutchouc temper could come back to the normal each time, as his has. His persistence deserves reward and has very little chance of getting it. What he will get will Ot in somewhere between the Adam's apple and the collar button, ac- cording to the present outlook.

The run of market information was gener- ally bullish, but the weeks clearances and the day’s export business were disappoint- ing. e December corn deal sold above 500% and closed 2c below that, the course of Mies being entirely dictated by Cleage. is brokers first boosted the market and. then broke it, the latter, it was said, to prevent the elevator buyers from sellin —— their cash purchases at the hig prices WHEAT—At an there was a good the offerings coming almost erly longs, this the usual profit taking that al- ways accompanies a m et, whether boaming or breaking.

Receipts at St. Louis were 42,500 bu, against 20,000 bu one year ago, and a further decrease of 51,000 bu reported in the public stock.
