Mrs. Frank Waser and her sisters, flisses Tennie and Mary Harris, 18 and 6 years old, suffered burns which prob- thly will be fatal, and Waser was seri- jusiy burned in a gasoline explosion in the Waser home, 523 Gratiot street, at 1:30 a. m. Monday. The gasoline stove in the front room if the family’s three-room apartment on fhe second floor burst while Mrs. Waser Was filling it to get lunch for her hus- sand and sisters. One burner was light- bd and she neglected to turn this off before starting to pour the fluid into the reservoir. As the burning fluid burst over the women and set fire to the bed on which Waser was lying, he sprang up, his tlothing afire, and leaped from the sec- ond-story window. His garments were still ablaze when he ran into Masterbrook’s’ grocery, across the street, and shouted to the proprietor: “Come quick! jeath!’’ The grocer and two customers threw their coats around Waser, and the man: with great blisters om his hands and face, hurried the others to the scene of the explosion. Women Helpless on Fioor. The three women lay on thefloor, with flames about.them. They were Partly censcious, but were unable to tise to free themselves from the fire which was consuming their clothes and burning their flesh. The windows were shattered by the explosion and the air which blew i through fanned the fire. Thée Wreck of the stove was still blazing fiercely. The husband, despite his own burns, led. the other men in bestinig out the flames about thé women's bodies: Firemen arrived a few minutes later and Capt. Meyers of “Engine Company No. 2 jerked the blazing stove from the floor and threw it over a landing into a yard, ; ._The women . were indistinguishable from one another. Their clothing was @estroyed and their skin blackened. Physicians who saw. them before their removal to the city hospital said Mrs. Waser was the only one of the three who had a chance of recovery. ’t touch me!” the. women shrieked as the ambulance drivers, as tenderly as they..could, picked them up. ‘Waser was taken to the hospital ne My wife is burning to them. ‘BRAZILIAN.

Henry Dinkelkamp of 2849 Montgom- ery street was killed Monday when he fell 125 feet from the dome of the New Cathedral, nearing completion at Lin- dell boulevard and Newstead avenue. He died a few minutes after other workmen picked him up. Dinkelkamp had been out of work several davs, and le was vastly pleased when he pgocured 2 place Friday as carpenter on the structure, and -was told to appear for work Saturday. He wen} home and said to his wife: “I'll have to sharpen up those tools. Means more Christmas!”’ : The force of half a Risin carpenters went to work at _8 a. m. The rough flooring of the dome was laid so as to leave a square hole in the _ center, through which timber could be drawa up frorn below. None of the other car- penters saw Dinkelkamp fall. They think that, absorbed in his work, he must. have stepped through the hole. Half way to earth the whirling body struck a joist, and Dinkelkamp’s neck was broken. A force of pleanbers, idle because the pipes were frozen, heard the body hit the flooring, and rushed in, One of them folded his overcoat un- der Dinkelkamp’s head until an ambu- lance arrived. The carpenter died on the way to the Missouri Baptist Sani- tarilum, and the body was taken back to the Cathedral untfl an undertaker’s wag- on arrived. Qn account of the accident work on the Cathedral was suspended for the day. Dinkelkamp was 50 years efd and had a wife and four children, three of them ‘married daughters. The only sen is un- married.

John Morrison-Fuller, Glasgow (Mo.) who took his wife's name when and who mysteriously was injured in St. at the City Hospital Monday. His wife and daughter, who had been in constant attendance-upon him, were at his bedside when the end came. He at no time regained full. consciousness or power of expression sufficient to ex- ; plain the manner in which he was hurt. Dr. Walter R. Hewitt of the hospita! staff says that the direct cause of death was meningitis, a disease which often follows a skull fracture. Morrison Fuller had been living at the Southern Hotel a month while his wife and daughter were stopping at the Washington, when, on Dec. 6, he re- ceived the injury which caused. his death. Unconscious and bleeding, he was picked up in front of 113 North Sixth street. Wounds on his head led the police to believe that he had been at- tacked and beaten. Remembered He Had Fallen. At the City Hospital, where his wife and daughter had him placed in a pri- vate room, he had a brief period of consciousness, in which he said that he had been drinking and _ that he started to visit the proprietor of a bil- | liard hall at 207 North Sixth street. He said that he must have made a mis- ; take and entered a stairway at 113 North | Sixth street. He remembered falling, but could not recall that he met or spoke to anyone or had a fight. Irwin McElroy, an employe at Duffy’s restaurant, told the police that he saw Morrison-Fuller’ start up the stairway adjoining the restaurant. Apparently he was half way up when he fell and rolled out on the sidewalk. Two men with whom Fuller attempt- ed to transact business on the day he was injured told the police that he had been drinking heavily. At the city hospital no fracture of the skull was found, but the development of mertingit!s leads the doctors to be- lieve that there was a fracture. ‘There will be an autopsy and an inquest to determine the exact cause of death. Mrs. Fuller and her daughter who said that there was ho estrangement between them and Morrison-Fuller, al- though by agreement they were living apart, showed untiring devotion to him while he was in the city hospital, : Saturday night their already over- wrought nerves were further strained when Grover Vice, who had shot him- self, after wounding his sweetheart, was carried into the room in which they were keeping their vigil.

They will not be rough and furry like coon-&kin caps, but will be as fine and ‘silky as though they were made of beav- er skin. By a special process the rabbit hair will ‘be snioéthed down so that the resulting fabric will have the outward appearance of high-grade felt. “Besides belly brown the other popu- lar colors will be pearl and steel gray.’’ said‘ John Weber, oné@ of the visiting | manufacturers, at ‘the Jefferson Hotel ‘Monday. “For the first time in years St. Louis men will be in style as to | their headgear.

Tuesday. seore of clubs and other. organizations, have been invited by personal letters to attend the anti-smoke meeting at the Wednesday Club auditorium at 3 p. m. Tuesday, called for the purpose of unit- ing St.. Louis womankind in the move- ment to rid the city of the smoke nuls- ance.. The campaign for the enforcement of the smoke law, urged*repeatedly by the Post-Dispatch, has gained force rapidly since the nuisance became acute with the coming -of winter. Civic and busi- ness organizations have taken up the movement, and the women will be ad- vised by men at Tuesday afternoon's meeting how to proceed most effec- tively. Investigation by Post-Dispatch report- ers has shown that one of the greatest sources of* the daily smoke cloud which hangs over the city, a blur on business and a pall on social enjoyment, is the Mill Creek Valley, with its immense bat- tery of locomotive engines, both of the Terminal ae a mance and of westbound railroads, Core of the Evil. The section adjoining King’s highway is the core of the smoke evil. Rising from the factories, brieckyards and loco- motives of that region, the smoke bian- ket drifts over the Forest Park and Cab- anne residence sections, shutting off the sun, and spreading east, joins with the smoke from: the manufactories, office buildings and hotels beyond Grand ayv- enue. It fills the atmosphere with vapors which make city dwellers choke and gasp, and which cause visitors both to jest and to’make bitter complaint of the air which they have to breathe while here.

Vict WAS AN UNTIRING SUITOR Mrs. Mitchell Declares , That He Followed Her for Two Years.

Mrs. Bessie Reeder Mitchell, whom Grover Vice shot before firing the bul- let which killed himself, told a Post- Dispatch reporter at the city hospital Monday of the long and, violent court- ship which ended in Saturday night’s tragedy. “IT can’t help being relieved,”’ said the young woman when the news of Vice’s death was taken to her. ‘He has driven me from place to place for two years. I would never have been willing to marry: him, and he would never have let me alone.’’ That the victim of Vice’s ‘pullet was another’s wife was not known to her St. Louis acquaintances. She has ‘gone by the name of Bessie Reeder and had not told them that she was the wife of C. A. Mitchell of Chaffee, Me Suing for Divorce. “IT am now suing for a divorce in Scott County, but it was not in order to marry Vice that I sought the divorce. .He did not have anything to do with my troubles with my husband. “I met Vice long before I was mar- ried, in Cape Girardeau. He proposed ‘marriage then, and followed me to my home in Piedmont.’’ The young wom- an’s father is pastor of the Presby- terian Church in Piedmont. “I left Piedmont to get away from him, and went to Chaffee. There I be- came acquainted with C. A. Mitchell, and Mitchell kept him away, and two. years ago married me. “IT goon decided that my marriage had been a mistake, and after my sepa- ration from my husband I went to Sa- pulpa, Ok., to work in a store. As soon as Vice learned that I had left my hus- band he followed me to Sapulpa, and it was there for the first time that he BEFORE TRAGEDY}

threatened me. “*You've got to marry me,’ he told | me, ‘or I'll kill you.’ He insisted that. I get a divorce, and I[ told him that 1 | was going to do so, but that 1 would'! not marry him. “When he annoyed me so that I could stay in Sapulpa no longer I went to Kansas City. Three months ago he fol- lowed me there, and I came to 8t. Louis to get away from him. “I succeeded in keeping out of his sight until a short time ago, when I met him accidentally at Union Statioa. Aiter that he stood outside my place of employment, the Chenoweth Dyeing and Cleaning Co., every evening to wait for me. “Saturday night he came up to my room, at 14144 Washington avenue, and called me out. ‘You must marry me, or I'll kill you;’ he said. ‘You've dilly- dallied with that divorce of yours long enough.’ I seized the ‘hand In which he held a revolver, and begged him to gO away, but he began firing, and I did not know any more until I awoke in the hospital,’’ Mrs. Mitchell will recover, the doctors say. Her wound Is a serious one, in the left- shoulder, but her lung was not penetrated, as was at first gia He Also Took Poise Vice swallowed carbolic aria before firing a bullet Into his right temple. He died at 6:15 a. m. Suv*ay, less than 6 hours after the shooting. His body is unclaimed at the hospital. The young woman's father and brother were by her bedside Sunday. They said they could not account for the statement made by her roommate at the boarding house that Vice was her foster brother. Vice never was an inmate of the min- ister’s household. Taxi! Taxi!!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 12.—Frank Delorey, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Lil- lian M. Glover, the widow of the victim of the tragedy for which Hattie Le Blane is. on trial, was found in East Milton, arrested on a capias and locked up in the Cambridge jgil for ‘“safe- keeping.”’ A great deal of the case for the defense has been directed toward bringing out the allegation that a Glover hated her husband. Attorney Johnson said/{today he had learned for the first time of a new and important witness and asked leave to reopen the case for the defense. The District Attorney interposed no objection and Johnson called Miss Nellie Walsh. She testified that she was em- ployed as cook for the family of Judge Bond, who is presiding at the trial, and that she lived in a house on Park Lane, Waltham, owned by the Glovers. She said that five years ago she wag em- ployed in Glover's laundry and that she knew Mrs. Glover very well. She was questioned regarding her movements on the night Glover was shot. She traced her own movements from the time she left Judge Bond’s house that evening until she reached Moody street, near the Glover laundry. It was about 8 o’clock when she left the house and it took her fully half an hour to reach the vicinity of the laun- dry. ‘Whom did you see on Moody street that night?’’ asked Johnson. ‘“T saw Mrs. Glover,’’ replied Miss Walsh, who then went on to describe how Mrs. Glover was dressed. The wit- ness said she wore a dark hat and dark clothing, a long dark coat and carried a muff. The witness said she positively recognized Mrs. Glover as she passed her in front of an illuminated window. Mrs. Glover was walking away from the laundry, she said. ;

Two firemen were overcome by smoke during a stubborn blaze in the All- America Shoe Shop, 620 Olive street, early Monday. The men were led ex- hausted from the basement of the build- ing, but returned to work after being re- vived in the open air. Albert Stacy was slightly cut by flying glass. The dam- age to the buildimg and stock is esti- mated at $5000 by Fire Chief Swingley. The firemen overcome were Lieut. Frank Devoto of No. 6 and Dan Finne- gan, pipeman of the same company. The fire originated in the cellar and is sup- posed to have been caused by crossed electric wires. It was discovered at 11:55 p. m., and the firemen fought the flames for two hours before the fire was under control.

JURY THAT FREED. KELLEHER CURSED ~ BY MRS. SULLIVAN ‘Talesman Hear Imprecations of Slain Youth’s Mother in Courtroom. ASKS GRIM SOUVENIR

Wants Her Son’s Clothes to Show as a Token of St Louis Justice.

i+ When Mrs. Lillian Sullivan heard the reading of the verdict which freed Ed- die Kelleher, twice convicted of the mur- der of her. son, Tommy Sullivan,” she arose in the courtroom Sunday morning and, péinting her finger at the jury, screamed: ‘‘May the curse of God be on é6very one of you jurymen! Every one of you vho has or may ever have a son, may the same fate befall that son that befell ny poor boy!’ Judge Grimm called for order and the yverwrought mother sank sobbing upoy 1 bench. Deputy sheriffs helped her out f the Four Courts Building. Mrs. Sullivan called Monday at the Circuit. Attorney’s office and got from Assistant Circuit Attorney Rudolph an order for her son's clothes, which were used ‘as evidence in Kelleher’s three trials. Takes Home Grim Souvenir. “T shall take them back to my home in Chicago,’’ she said bitterly, “as a sample of St. Louis justice.’’ Kelleher had the services of Attorney Thomas B. Harvey in his first two trials. He was sentenced by the first jury to 25 years’ imprisonment, but thé Supreme Court remanded the case because of er- rors in the prosecution, and the second } trial resulted in a 15-year séntence. For- mer Circuit Attorney Sager, who prose- cuted him at the first trials, was a wit- ness for the State Saturday. Self-defense was the plea which Kelle- her urged throughout his series of trials, and succeeded in establishing to the third jury’s satisfaction. The jur¥ retired at 9:40 p. m. Saturday, and Judge Grimm became ill shortly afterward. For this reason the returning of the verdict was delayed until Sunday at 10:30 a. m. Pugilist Slain in Saloon. Kelleher, a bartender, shot Sullivan, a pugilist, who was known as St. Louts Tommy in distinction from a Brooklyn fighter of the same name, Jan. 19, 1906, at 1:30 a. m., in a.saloon at aware second and Pine streets. Sullivan and several] other young men had entered the saloon shortly before, and Kelleher said to him: ‘‘You’re look- ing for trouble.”” ‘The fatal shooting fol- lowed. Testimony at the Coroner’s inquest and at the first trial conflicted, some witnesses saying Sullivan had put his hand behind him, others that he put his fists in front of him in a pugilistic atti- tude. The ownership of the revolver was also the subject of conflicting testi- mony. Witness Was Cunvicted, Buck Taylor, called as a witness by the State, was convicted of perjury and sent to the penitentiary. He tried, it was charged, to shape his recente! in Kelleher’s favor. Sager, in his plea to the first jury, declared that none of the witnesses could be believed and based the case on circumstantial evidence. Mrs. Sullivan lives at 1661 Clairmont avenue, Chicago, and is a small, frail woman, 4 years of age. Her words of denunciation were plainly heard by the jurors and others in the courtroom Sun- day, and had a profound effect. FLEVENTH WARD CLUB FOR KIEL The Eleventh Ward Progressive Club had a banquet Saturday night at South- west Turner Hall, Ohio avenue and Po- tomac street.

——~ ee WONDERED WHY Found the Auswer Was “Coffee.”

Many pale, sickly persons wonder for years why they have to suffer so, and eventually discover that the drug——caffeine—in coffée is the main cause of the trouble. “IT was always very fond of coffee and drank it every day. I never had much flesh and often wondered why I was always so pale, thin and weak. “About five ‘years ago my health completely broke down and I was confined to my *%ed. My stomach was in such condition that I could hardly take sufficient nourishment to sustain life. “During this time I was drinking coffee, didn’t thihk I could do with out it. “After a while I came to the con- clusion that coffee was hurting me. and decided to give it up and try Postum. I didn’t like the taste of it at first, but when it was made right—boiled until dark and rich— I goon became very fond of it. “In one week I began to feel] bet- ter. I could eat more and sleep better. My sick headaches were less frequent, and within five months I looked and felt like a new being, headache spells entirely gone. “My health continued to improve and today I am well and strong, weigh 148 pounds.

‘.% Rc? GOLD FOR TEN YEARS; "FINDS HIS WIFE IS 24 FINE : 7 Illinois Farmer Ran Away From Debts, Leaving Wom- ~. an to Shoulder Them. SHE PAID ‘THEM ALL Then After a Search She - Found Him and Invited Him to Home She Saved. “~~. From a Staff Correspondert of the Dispatch t- ch. ELGIN, Iil., Dec. 12.—Robert Archi- bald, better known in the Arizona min- ing camps as Archy the Prospector, has struck it rich. His mining claims may pan out and they may not, and truth to tell he isn't caring very much wheth- er they do or not, but after 10 vears of prospecting he has Giscovered the wealth that is more than minerals of _§reat price, the wealth of ‘a wife’s nev- _er-dying devotion, once tossed aside, now valued at its worth. Robert Archibald's hair is almost white, and Mrs.. Lizzie Archibald’s is streaked with silver, all too soon, but they are having their honeymoon these Dece r days at the homestead among the elms out on Chicago avenue, renew- ing their youth and planning a merry Christmas, the first merry one in the 19 vears that they have .been wed. For it was in November, after their mar- riage in April, 10 years ago, that Archi- bald went away to the West to dig and acorn —.. delve for gain that, however great, would have been dearly bought at the eost of the happiness that was lost, but has now, happily, been found again. Home From Wedding Trip. They are home from their bridal trip, which began at an Arizona ranch, where the bride of a few months found her bridegroom after a 10-years’ search, and ended at the old home among the elms. In their companionship, recompense for years of loneliness, they are finding such ‘tranquil happiness as is reserved for the man and the woman who suffer to win it. There at their home they told the story of their long separation and their romantic reunion to a staff corre-' spondent of the Post-Dispatch. It was foolish pride and fear of facing a hard situation that drove Robert Archibald to go away that November day and become a wanderer in the wide * West. When he married Lizzie Mc- Manaman the April before, he did not tell her that he still’ owéd his half- brothers, Maicolm and John McNeil, and his half-ister, Mrs. Thomas Todd, $3700 for their share in the $50.000 Archibald estate, which he had taken over, and _ that he had other obligations which would bring the total up to about $10,- 000, He meant to tell her About it, but pee it oft. ' Pecided to Go Away. The notes he had given to his half- brothers would mature Nov. 11, and he had reason to think that they would not be disposed to extend them. The day before they came due he went out to his 400-acre farm near Dundee. Out there he thought it over. He knew he could borrow the money on the real estate, but he would have to tell his wife about it,.and he just did not have the heart to do it. He had been a bachelor and did not know that it takes adversity to bring out the Best in a woman. He thought his wife would weep and reproach him. He knows better now, but it has taken him 10 years of prospecting to find it out. His mind was made up. He would _g0 away. The property would be - gold under execution, but he reckoned there would be enough to keep his _ Wife from want. | : Becomes Archy the Pronpector. t the depot he faltered and it may at if the train for Eigin had come first 10 years would not have been to these two, but the train to Crys- tal Lake came sooner.

Lightning Shows the Way. They had been 10 years of strife and struggle for little Mrs. bald. She had dedicated and devoted her life to two purposes, that were formed in her mind the minute the crushing realization came to her that he had gone. . One was to hol! the home against the time of his re- turning. The other was to find and bring him back. No time was lost by the half-broth- ere in getting judgment on the notes. Other creditors, not doubting that the property would have to be solid, alse obtained judgments. In the hour of her deepest distress, when Mrs. Archibald did not know which way to turn, there was a flash of light- ning and the barn at the Dundee farm was burned to the ground. Mrs. Archibald thought God's wrath was against her. But the lightning’s flash illumined the way for her. Win- ter had set in and she had to sell the stock she would have chosen to keep, because there was no shelter, and the money she received from the insurance company and from the saie of the stock enabled her to pay off the notes to her husband’s two half- brothers and his half-sister. The other creditors gave her time. She had some money of her own which she had saved from her school teach- ing and with this and the rental that the farm brought and with such as she could earn in any way that came to her hands, she paid off all of the $10,000 indebtedness. Detective qn the Trail. She had searched ceaselessly for her husband. She was able to trace him on.iy as for as St. Louis. She wrote letters all over the country and sent advertise- ments to'newspapers everywhere. In September she sent an advertise- ment 10 a Kansas City newspaper offer- ing a reward for information of her husband. A Topeka detective wrote for ‘more information. In particular, he wanted the names and addresses of all the missing man’s relatives. She sent them to him. He wrote to Malcolm Mc- Neil, pretending to be searching for a relative of his own, who was presumed to have been acquainted with Archibald in the West. McNeil wrote back that he had received a letter two years be- fore from Arehibalg, who was then at Kelvin, Ariz. When Mrs. Archibald received this information from the detective she started on the néxt train to Kelvin. She did not know how far it was and she did not care. She found that it was a long ways off, and when she arrived there it was only to learn that her husband had gone to Tuc- son, At Tueson, 70 miles further, she was disappointed again. He had left there to gO prospecting and nobody knew where. She had left a request at Kelvin that if anything was heard there a letter should he sent to her at Tuc- gon. She went to the postoffice. A letter was fianded her. She tore it open without looking at the address. it was not a letter to her but to her husband from a friend of his who had } gone to Cassa Granda, prospecting. The Stage Driver's Information. It ocetrred to her that her husband probably had gone by stage coach to some mining camp. She hunted up the driver of the coach and showed had used in her 10 years’ search. “Have you éver seen that man?” he answered. “He went out the little photograph which she Archi- | toward noon the stage lumbered up to the ranch house and stopped at the well for water for the team. The ar- rival of the coach was the event of the day, but- Archibald was not among those who sauntered from the ranch house to greet the driver and scan the travelers, and Mrs. Archibald’s heart sank. But she asked the driver to inquire for her husband and if he was about the place to tell him. that somebody in the stage wanted to see him. The driver asked Mrs. Perkins, who lived at the ranch, if Archy was there, and she said he Was in the house reading. She called to him and he laid down his paper and came out. The End of Her Quest, “Step down to the coach,” said the driver, ‘‘there’s somebody there wants to.see you.” Archibald started toward the coach. Mrs. Archibald had seen him as he stepped from the door and had instantly recognized him. She stepped from the coach and started to meet him. He saw her and recognized her and paused, paralyzed with surprise. Little Mrs. Archibald was telling this story in the cozy sitting room of her home, here in Elgin, and her husband was sitting by listening. She paused now, in pretty confusion. He spared her the telling of the -rest. “She came up to me,’ he said, with an old prospector’s directness, “and put her arms around me and kissed me. She didn’t say anything and I didn’t say anything either. I couldn’t say anything. It was so much more than was coming to me and so much more than I ever expected.”’ In that moment, speecniess with won- der at a woman’s devotion, the old prospector made the biggest find of his life. He discovered his wife. They are there now at the home among the elms and they are as happy as if there had been no 10 years of sep- aration and silence. Or maybe it is on that account. And the old prospector’s days of prospecting are over. He has struck it rich. we Crew of Wrecked Barge Landed.

If the H. B. Claflin Co. of New York, which controls the United Dry Goods Co., and a string of 30: big department stores throughout the United States, acquires control of the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney store it will be greatly enlarged. Plans afe already under way to acquire for immediate use a portion of the Cen tury building; and the entire ground floor of the’ building when the lease of the Century Theater expires three years hence. Negotiations for the purchase of the Scruggs store have been under wa’ for more than a week. The easter: corporations are represented in th: negotiations by G. H. Walker of thz brokerage firm of G. H. Walker & Co. and W. J. Holbrook of the Hol- brook-Blackwelder Real Estate Trust Co. Wants Two-Thirds Stock, An offer for the purchase of two- thirds of the stock of the Scruggs, Van- dervoort & Barney Dry Goods Co., which owns the store, has been submitted by Holbrook and Walker to the stockhold- ers. As g00n as two-thirds of the stock is acquired the deal will be closed. While the promoters declined Monday to discuss the deal, it is said to be un- der such headway that it may be closed luring the present week. The Eastern ompany _propose, inthe event it buys he store, to make it one of the biggest an the United States. If, for any reason, the deal -for the vurchase of the Scruggs, Vanderyoort & Barney store fails of. consummation. it is announced that Claflin & Co: will establish a store in St. Louis. Claflin & Co. and the United Dry Goods Co. are said to be the biggest pur- chasers of merchandise in the United ~ ates. Louis Stewart, president of the United Dry Goods Co. and vice-president of Claflin & Co., decided some time ago that the interests he represented ought io have a great store in St. Louis. After looking over ‘the tocal situation he authorized Holbrook and Walker to make an offer for the Scruggs, Vander- yoort & Barney store, which occupies eight floors of the Syndicate Trust Building at Olive, Tenth and Locust streets. The store is one of thelargest and finest in the West, and is one of the oldest department stores in St. Louis. The store occupied the Mercan- tile Library Building at Broadway and Locust street for many years, but three years ago moved into the Syndiacte Trust Building, which ee pro- moted. Capital of Companies, The Claflin Co. is capitalized for $9,- 000,000 and the United Dry Goods Co. for $60,000,000. The capital stock of the Scruggs, Vandervoort -& Barney Dry Goods Co. is $5,260,000. Of this: $2,500,000 is common stock, held by the Ely & Walker Dry- Goods Co., one of the big wholesale houses of 8t. Louis. If the Scruggs store is purchased by Claflin & Co. it will be greatly enlarged. A portion of the Century Building will acquired by the new company, and prob- ably the entire building as soon as the lease of the Century Theater expires, three years hence. The Claflin Co. has a controlling ia- terest in the stores operated by James McCreery & Co. and the O’Neill-Adams Co. in New York City; Stewart & Co. of Balitmore, J. N. Adams Co. of Buf- falo and C.

Holbrook and Walker returned fron New York a week ago with authorit) ito make a definite proposition to th: stockholders of the St. Louis store. The proposition was communicated to the stockholders, and if it is ratified by them control of the store will pass into the hands of the Eastern corporations. G. H. Walker sent word to a reporter, who sought several times to interview him on the deal, that he was too busy to be seen. President Hanford Crawford of the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney com- pany, told a Post-Dtspaitch reporter Monday that he had no statement to make regarding the proposition to buy the store. SHOTGUN SQUAD GUARD THE DEER IN FOREST PARK Keepers on Watch for Invading Dogs That Killed Four of the Herd. Men armed with shotguns are guard- ing the deer paddock at Forest Park, Jexpecting another visit from the dogs of Forest Park, which burrowed into the paddock Friday night and killed a doe and three fawns. When keepers went to the paddock Saturday morning they found the doe and three fawns lying dead, their throats torn by the fangs of the dogs and their flesh lacerated. One of the fawns, a yearling, was the offspring of the doe, and it is evident that she lost her life in at- tempting to’ defend the fawn, as she could have kept out of the way of the dogs if she had not stayed to make a futile defense. The doe was 5 years old. The other two fawns were 2 years old. RAILROAD TO BURN OIL IN ENGINES IN PLACE OF COAL Dirt and smoke are to be elimi- nated by the Great Northern Rallroad on the portion of its lines west of Leavenworth, Wash. Oil will be brought by boats from California to Fverett, Wash. Each boat load being from 26,000 to 35,000 barrels. Three storage tanks with a combined ca- pecity of 7,000,000 gallons are to be built at Bverett. Numerous small tanks will bé bulit along the west end of the system until they are as common as water tanks. Changing 1156 engines from coal to oil burners will involve a large amount of work in the railroad shops and a large expense. The decision to change from coal to oil was reached after a thorough in- vestigation ynade by an expert who hag been compiling data tor more than a year. Among railroad men the feature of the change is the distance of the oil equipped engines from the base ofsupply. Other roads one oll run through the country where i is produced.

He said the account was opened by Sam Adler, and that two years later the eastern branch of the Cella Com- mission Co. took over the business of- ices and bank account of the Missouri branch.

RACE-PROBLEM THEME The Taint of African Blood Is the Fate That Over- whelms Story’s Hero. By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. dé ft NIGGER,” a powerful and 1 ominous dramatic study of the Southern racial problem by Ed- ward Sheldon, was so effectively pre- sented by Guy Bates Post and an u- usually competent supporting company at the Garrick last night as to hold its audience gripped in tense interest @ certain blood-resentment of nome of its teachings. This te the play that achieved perhaps “most notable success of al) the New Theater Company’s productions of ‘last season, when, too, Guy Bates Post was chst in its leading role. It was not seen in- 8t. Louls during the great New York company’s engagement at the Garrick late in the spring, but it is doubtful if the cast then presenting it was of great- er strength than that by which it was last night. Its story concerns the dismaying situa- tion confronted by the Governor of a Southern state, the supposed scion of a proud old family, who suddenly learns that he ts of negro blood, the grandson of a beautiful slave-woman, and who, with that discovery, sees all the fabric of’ his life crumbling about him: His ambition for a public career, his love for a well-born Southern girl, his pride in hile own ancestry, all are involved in the stroke of Fate that so swiftly falls pon him from an unclouded sky. And é accepts the only logical solution of hi¥ problem. “White is white ‘and black fs black,” he himself has declared—and he abides by this declaration, ceasing to hold him- ‘Self as a white man, and going down, . Instead, to do what good may be pos- _ sible to him as a negro working among negroes for racial upliftment. A tragedy of such an aspect is not by any means impossible in the South, and its central character must needs

finite appeal, no matter what may be one’s attitude toward the racial prob- lem confronted by the Southern people. Guy Bates Post so plays the role of Phillip Morrow, the ‘‘white negro,” as to command the deepest sympathy and respect, and there are moments in the stress of the dark drama thus created when his work is on the plane of gen- uine dramatic greatness, instinct with the powerfully human note sounded from the throat of a man enmeshed in a web of circumstance so cruel and relent- less, and deeply vibrant with a wrong the remedying of which yet remains to be accomplished. The two most tremendously effective moments of Mr. Post’s work are those in which, first; he learns the appalling truth that he is of African descent, and second, when he acts inflexibly upon wis truth and tells his white sweet- heart that {t is a negro who has won her love. in the earlier moment the star’s play- ing is overwhelmingly impressive, re- vealing, in facial expression, in the col- lapse of physical powers, in the dreadful bewilderment of soul shown in speech and manner, the full horror of the blight that has so terribly descended upon him. In the later scene with the white gir: whom he loves, and in despite of that one instant when he strains her to his arms and defies the fate of which he knows himself to be the helpless vic- tim, the resolve of ultimate renunciation ts reached and ite meaning conveyed across the footlights with a poignancy that brought actual heartache to those witnessing the performance. Mr. Post’s work was of the finest quality throughout, repressed upon all proper occasion, never striving for ef- fect, unrestrained only when the all- OA een)

] horrible overpowering passion of certain mo- ments swept him along in its irresistible flood, and thereafter calm, strongly re- signed, resolute and immovable in the new racial alignment demanded by the tragedy of Philip Morrow’s life. The role is one of vast difficulties. One by one Mr. Post overcame these, his hold upon the sympathies of hig audience being the strongest at the play’s close. Miss Florence Rockwell, as Georgi- ana Byrd, sweetheart of Philip Morrow, played with genuine power, finely building up the part from its initial joyous sweetness to the terrible mo- ment when, even though loving him, she shrinks from Philip Morrow with a remembrance of his blood- taint, and overcoming even the drama- tist’s blunder in making her, at the last, willing to marry the man she loves and descend with him to the race-level which he has accepted as inevitable. Miss Rockwell has never before so sat- isfyingly revealed her power to a St. Louis audience. An admirable and unfailingly truthful piece of character work was done by J. M. Colville in the role of Clifton Noyes, the distiller, who himself loves Georgiana, who is the rightful heir to the Morrow plantation, who was the potent factor in electing Philip Morrow Governor, who asked of Morrow the protection of his liquor interests, and who, this being refused, made public the knowledge of Morrow’s negro blood. Mr. Colville realizes faithfully a cer- tain Southern type and holds it con- sistent from the beginning to the end of his portrayal. Others in the company are similarly satisfying in degree, the result being the presentation of Fdward Sheldon’s deeply significant drama under pecu- Harly effective conditions. “IS MATRIMONY A FAILURE?’ MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1910. Levith tte teres: -nelsting maitines antl crew of bridge builders is a remarkably realistic piece of stagecraft, while the ether scenes are all painstakingly pre- sented. The company in support of Giaser is very capably cast, the work of Miss Fay Courteney as Janet Van Nest being especially noteworthy. Much of the success of the performanoe is due to her and many of the big scenes are strengtb- ened by her well-subdued emotion. “et SYMPHONY’S “SUNDAY POP.” A quite delightful program was pre- sented at yesterday afternoon’s popular concert by the Symphony Orchestra, and its enthusiastic reception by the big audience testified to a sincere apprecia- tion of its beauty. The opening number was Zach's finely colorful “‘Oriental March,’’ one of last season's greatest favorites, and now re- peated by special request. The over- ture to Flotow’s “Stradella” waa pleas- ingly played. A guite from Bizet’s ‘“‘Car- men,” familiar but always welcome, proved to be one of the hits of the day. Most important ahd impressive of the program's numbers, however, was the splendid “Fire Charm” scene from ‘‘The Valkyries,’’ voicing in music that dra- matic moment when Wotan encircles Brunhilda within a wall of flame from which none but the fearless Siegfried may rescue her, and which was master- fully interpreted by Mr. Zach’s players. A dainty Bolsoni minuet and Strauss’ “Cagliostro” walts were excellently played. Mme, Ida Delledonne, the soloist of the afternoon, scored a genuine triumph in her harp numbers, John Thomas’ “Autumn” and the “Spanish Patrol’’ by Tedeschi. The encore offerings were Mendelssohn’s “Spring Song’’ ana Grieg’s two Norwegian dances.

8 of home and the matrimonial institution the audience finds an infinite variety of laugh-provoking situations. What can be funnier' than a man holding his wife | up to scorn-—to those to whom such hu- mor appeals—or a. wife lording it over her husband in such a way as to make him the object of derision? The audi- ence laughs, then screams. Yes, matri- mony is a faiiure. It ig the huge joke of the world. This play brands it so. The audience indorses the play and ap- plauds the seritiment. Perhaps, though, the applause is habit, for the same en- thusiasm is shown when the bunch or drove—or what.you willreturn to the yoke as greeted them when they left as freemen. The play should “hold' the mirror up to nature.” In this play the only re- flection that can be seen ig that the stage rather than matrimony is in dan- ger of becoming a failure unless it re- flecta sacred things in a less farcical manner. The play was made for laugh- ing purposes, and a farce should proba- bly not be considered as anything but a farce, but to me it seems there should te consistency even in this class of plays. There ig no especial demand upon the players for talent, the play rather than the players calling for attention.

WORTH $37,400 IS He and His Son Also Own Huge Proportion of Crude Commodity Stock. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK; Dec. 12—Nelson Wil- marth Aldrich of Rhode Island, boss of the United States Senate, chairman of . the Senate Finance Committee and arbi- ter of the schedules of the Payne-Al- drich (the present tariff law) was pub- licly accused July 10, 1910, by Joseph L. Bristow, insurgent Senator from Kan- sas, of having juggied upward the tar- iff duties on ufactured rubber in the interest of his own pocket. For ene month Senator Aldrich re- mained defiantly silent; then, yielding to the increasing appeals of his party's leaders, he wrote to the chairman of / the Republican Congressional Commit- tee, Mr. McKinley of Illinois, a long letter of denunciation and denial of the Bristow charges. In this letter Senator Aldrich said: What He Denied. Neither * * * I nor any mem- ber of my family has ever had any pecuniary interest as to whether the rates on manufactured rubber were 90, % or 300 per cent, or whether crude rubber was on the free or the dutiable list. . Inspection by a representative of the New York World of the stock register of the United States Rubber Co.—the $75,000,000 manufacturing Rubber Trust— shows that Senator Aldrich has a very substantial pecuniary interest in the in- crease in the tariff on manufactured rubber made by Aldrich’s committee. In Nelson W. Aldrich’s name stand 40 shares of the first preferred stock, worth $37,400 at last Saturday’s closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. Four other Aldrichs appear also on the stock register of the Rubber Trust. Senator Aldrich did not deny the con- nection of himself and his family with the crude rubber industry . represented in the $40,000,000 Intercontinental Rub- ber Co. But by denying positively that either he or his family had any pe- ounlary interest as to whether the tariff on manufactured rubber was raised or ae WHO SAYS SHE IS HEIR OF BALDWIN’S GETS HEARING LOS ANGELES, Cal., “Dec. 12.—The | fight of Beatrice Apita Baldwin Turn-' bull for a two-nin share in the $1i,- 000,000 estate of the jate HB.

lowered, the Senate boss spread the im- pression that his family was not inter- ested in the manufacturing end of sigh business. When the Aldrich letter was eat last August, Senator Bristow replied by j declaring that the Aldrich interest in the $40,000,000 Intercontinental company, with its immense production of crude rubber, gave the family a direct con- cern in the manufacturing end of the ‘business. The Aldrich holdings, so far as known, in the Intercontinental (crude) Rubber Co. are: ‘His Intercontinental Holdings. _ Senator Nelson W.

CLEW 10 FOR ONFARN Neighbor Is Actenad. House Searched and Evidence Against Him Is Found. ADMITS HE HAD ROW John Feagle Confesses Quar- reling With Bernhardts ‘Day They Were Killed. By Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Mo., 12.—A bloody pair of overalls and a shirt were found by Chief of Police Zimmer of Kansas City, Kan., today in the home Dec. of John Feagie, who was arrested early today in connection with the quadruple | murder on the Bernhardt farm in John- , last week. The gar- , son County, Kan., ments were concealed in a closet on the second floor of Feagle’s house. Feagie said today that Wednesday night he heard cries of distress that seemed to come from the Bernhardt home. Later, he said, he saw two hunters coming from the Bernhardt place. He recognized them as two men from Shawnee, a nearby town. Chief Simmer said Feagie told con- flicting stories as to the time he heard the calls for help. The officer has the identity of the two hunters and expects to take Feagle to Olathe late today and confront him with them. Admits Having Quarrel. Feagler, a hunter and trapper, who resides a half-mile west of the Bern- hard farm in Johnson County, Kan., where Mrs. Emily Bernhard, George Bernhard, her son; Thomas H. Morgan and James Graves were murdered. He was questioned for three hours by Zimmer, and it is said he told conflict- ing stories regarding his relations with the Bernhard family. Feagler was. arrested. after the offi- cere had learned that he and George Bernhard had quarreled several times recently because Feagler objected to Bernhard and Morgan hunting on his farm. Feagler admits that he quarreled with the Bernhards at their home last Wednesday. He said he went there to notify George Berhhard that he and his friends must stop hunting on his farm. Feagler said that Mrs. Berrihard joined in the quarrel. Chief Zimmer went to Feagler’s farm to search the premises. Feigler told Chief Zimmer he found Morgan hunting on his place tast Wednesday. Describes Their Quarrel. “I asked him what he meant by killing my game,”’ said Feigler, “and he told me Mrs. Bernhard’s son gave him perm mission to hunt there. After I had or- ‘dered Morgan away I went to Bern- hard’s place and asked George Bern- hard why he had given Morgan permis- sion to hunt on my place. He denied that he had given Morgan jny such permission. Feigler said he and Bernhard made counter accusations and when the quar- rel grew warm Mrs. Bernhard appeared on the scene. ‘“‘When she heard me say George had told Morgan he might hunt on my place, she called me a Ilar,” said Feigler. He said both Mrs. Bernhard and George became very abusive before he left. During the inspection of the premises today, Inspector Boyle of Kansas City found the bloody imprints of a man’s left hand upon the whitewashed wall of a closet, in -which it is believed Mrs. Bernhard was murdered. The section of the wall was cut out and brought to Kansas City. Inspector Boyle also found the handle of a pick-ax hidden under the manger in which the three men were found. This was covered with blood and hair. Thé clock weight, which was found in the house, also covered with blood, is thought to have been used only to kill Mrs. Bernhard. ' Button Is a Clew. A large white button, of the kind usually worn on blue shirts, was found beside the manger in which the bodies were hidden. As no buttons were miss- ing from the clothing of the murdered men, the police believe it is off the shirt of the slayer. The body of the hired man, who was believed to be named Worth, was iden- tified tonight by Glern Cotner, a farm- hand from Green Valley, Mo. Cotner said the man wes James Graves and that his home was in a small town in Oregon. Graves and Cotner, according to the latter, worked on the same farm in Missouri last Septamber. When Does rt?

TNURSE PREFERS. DEATH BY POISON. TO TUBERCULOSIS Made Desperate by Insomnia and Fear, Miss O’Meara Takes Morphine. Long continued night nursing for a wealthy patient impaired the health of Miss Helen O’Meara, and caused her to that she would contract tubercu- losis. Made desperate by insomnia, she swallowed eight grains of morphine at her boarding place, 3018 Bell avenue, sunday night. F City hospital attendants walked Miss O’Meara up and down the = corridors Monday morning, in the hope of ,.keep- ing her from succumbing to the effects fear of the powerful drug.

This condition grew worse and worse, and lately I have’ feared that I would soon have tuberculosis. That caused me to swallow the mor- phine, but I'was sorry as soon as I had done it, and I am glad the doctors think they can save me.”’ Mrs. H. N. Dent, with whom Miss O’Meara lived, was startled when: t young woman entered her room anu told her she had taken the morphine. She called a physician, and before he arrived Miss O’Meara was in a stupor. Miss O’Meara supports her aunt, Miss Mary O’Meara.

She: is contesting the suit, and both want their 9-year-old daughter, Caro- line. ; Caroline was in the courtroom with her mother when Wallner took the wit- ness stand, but Judge Lee said it was not right that she ~should hear such testimony, and had her taken into his chambers. Waliner formerly conducted a saloon at Sixth and Market street and latér owned the Sheridan House on Leffing- well avegue, at the junction of the Hodi- amont and Easton lines, which, he said, was the most profitable bar in St. Louis. He had to sell the place because his wife nagged his employes, he said. Waliner said his wife drank. Wallner was the only witness in the morning. Forty others are waiting in Judge Lee’s court to testify.

Representative on Free- holders’ Board Also Demands Recall Provision. Owen ‘Miller, union labor representa- tive on the Board-of Freeholders, in a speech before the Central Trades and Labor Union Sunday, declared he would not sign the new city charter unless provision utility franchises to the péople for ap- proval. Miller said he intended to work for an initiative and referendum clause inserted in the charter. “The power ‘of granting franchises should be taken from the Municipal As- sembly and lodged with the people,” said Miller. “That would eliminate graft. We have seen the corruption in obtaining: franchises and if promoters know that they cannot get grants until they are approved by the voters - the temptations will be removed.”’ Miller said this section of the charter is in the hands of the Revision Cammit- tee. Miller has also demanded that the recall be provided for in the new charter. The first draft of the new char- ter probably will be completed within two weeks, it is said.

W. Post, has made a life- time study of food, food digestion and effects, and the conclusions are in- dorsed by many of the best medical authorities of the day. Is it possible that we are at fault for suggesting, as a Father and Mother might, to one of the family who announced a pain in the side: ‘‘Stop using the food, greasy meats, gravies, mince pie, cheese, too much starchy food, ete, ote,, which:hes nétiheest digested, then when egain ready for food use ee ATE ee vacrat it is al of CaS E Suit for Libel ~ "has not been digested.

ROOM FOR MODERN METHODS. Including lakes and rivers, the continental United States have a total area of something over 8,000,000 square miles, with a land area of about These are easy figures to remember in connection with a round-number population in 1910 of over 91,000,000. In 1910, 27,810,000 of this population is reported Inside the incorporated limits of 222 cities. Their total area is not yet reported, but it {s not needed $n exact figures to make it clear that more than @ fourth of the country’s total population is not now really inhabiting its tota) square mileage. This includes nothing from cities and towns below 25,000 inhabitants. It is said now by high scientific authorities that an average homestead of 40 acres, worked intensively, will yield greater wealth continuously than has come from the average 100 or 200 acrés under old methods. “Old methods” mean those inherited from the ages when population was obliged to resort to walled towns-to escape massacre. Modern methods mean developments from the use of the mind as popu- lation is more evenly distributed wherever wealth and comfort can be increased. In the United States we are ready for “modern times,” and we are also of the opinion that we have begun them gome time ago. But when we change this opinion g@nd begin populating the whole inhabitable area of the United States we will have almost unlim- {ted .room, outside of incorporated areas, for the population which will live by practicing moder> 7 methods of inhabiting a great country.

REFORM OF LEGAL PROCEDURE. : The Post-Dispatch has given the public a glimpse of the report Judge John D. Lawson, dean of the Missouri University Law School, will make on our legal procedure in crimina) cases to the Amer- ican Institute of Criminal Law. Judge Lawson was madé a special commissioner of the institute and spent four months in England making a comparative study of English court methods. His report will go to the institute for approval and will then be presented to President Taft for of- ficial recommendation. A first surprise for Judge Lawson in making the investigation was that not only is the En- glish system of conducting criminal trials greatly superior to ours, as is commonly suppo.ed, but that we are in reality 50 years behind England in this respect. Where the Dnglish methods are direct, speedy, simple and untechnical, ours are uncertain, slow. complicated, cumbersome and frequently so petti- foggingly technical as to be ridiculous. The English respect their courts and love the law. We often laugh at the one and sneer at the othe: and translate our contempt into action by wreak- ing summary vengeance. This contrasted popu lar attitude, more than anything else, demon- strates the seriousness of the problem of judicial reform. An integral factor in the success of the English system is the pay of the judges. Our indifference in this respect has been the subject of much dis- cussion and was made the subject of a recom- mendation in Mr. Taft’s last message. English judges are trained and experienced men, selected for their peculiar qualifications and not suddenly elevated to the bench by freak of politics or no- tional preferment from a political appointive power. A police magistrate in London receives a larger salary than a Supreme Court justice in Missouri. Criminal Court judges get from $20,000 to $40,000 a year. The salary of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court is $13,000, and of associate justice $12,500 a year. Legal forms in England have been pared down to the greatest simplicity. The tendency in this country is toward greater complications. The of a trial] there is to ascertain the truth. Here it is to place on display the legal cunning and combative prowess of the lawyers. Here a retrial or an appeal comes as a matter of course and delay; there retrials are never granted and the average of reversals on appeal—with decisions always rendered within a week—is only 12 a year in a population of 82,000,000. The report of Judge Lawson is one of great moment. It reduces to concrete form a mass of varying remedies and suggestions. It is probably the first. step toward a practical reform whose! delayed appearance is most astonishing in view of the universal demand. (= = =

If the voters of Springfield, Ill., have any doubt as to the advisability of adopting the commission form of government, it should be dispelled by the experience of. Kansas City, Kan., in nine short months on that basis. Jan. 1 will see the Kansas municipality with a surplus in every fund except the lighting fund, which labored under an exceptionally large deficit when the commissioners took charge. The float- re-jing debt will be nearly wiped out, none of the 1911 revenue will have been expended in advance and the city will be on a cash payment’ basis. Such a record of success ig additional proof, if any were required, that commission rule means economy, efficiency and a square deal for the public.

—_—_—— — Large crowds attended the opening of the Turmer League schedule Sunday after- noon at South St. Louis and Social Turner halls, while .Saturday night a fairly large crowd attended the double-header at the Louisiana Hall. The. game between the Socials and the North St. Louis -team was one of the best played on a local floor this season. The play was remarkably fast and was keenly contested throughout, while the excellent of- ficiating of Hord Hardin and Bill von Dach kept the play exceptionally clean. North St. Louis, by clever team’ work, sent the Social aggregation up in the altr and when. the first half ended the Socials were 2 points to the bad. In the second half, Capt. Drehman’s players put up a headier game and the North Sides went down to defeat. Voss and Beimdieck starred for the North St. Louis, while Drehman and Housmann did the heavy work for the winners. The lineup: Socials (30). Positions, N, St. L. Dreyer (4) Left forward . Hausman (12) Drehmann (6) Gallagher(8) Rauscher (23). . Voss (8) In the preliminary contest the North St. Louls seconds defeated the Social seconds, $85 to 15. The South St. Louis five, the new mem- ber of the Turners’ League, won its opening game at its own hall after a rough-and- fumble contest, 37-—-27. The St. Louis play- ers put up a speedy contest in the initial period and led at the close of that session, 12 to 10. In the second half, the former McKinley High players, Zachritz, Newman and Tolkacz, ushered in some of their old- time team work, and as a result their team boosted its total in rapid-fire older and won.

Schuessier was put in the game in preference to Siue- we and the former more than played a star game. He tallied 38 points for his team. Peters and Kamp also played weil for Yeat- man, the two forwWards each tallying 16 points. The Universal A.

In a special cocked hat match on the Royal alleys, C. Kicker and L. Rogge were again returned winners over C. Holl- weg and George Becker in the best six out of ten games for a purse of $25. The winners had 1092 pins to the losers’ 1045. Close to 250 bowling fans witnessed the match Sunday evening between the Duffys troit team of Chicago at the De Soto- Olive alleys. Jule Schmitt, as judge did not have much work to do as there was not any- thing that could in any way be construed as a foul. Some complaint was heard from the Chicago bowlers at the way the St. Louis fans cheered whenever a Chicago man got a bad split. They considered it unsports- maniike and it certainly was. “Baldy” Jellison is certainly not -roll- ing up to his reputation this seagon al- though he may be like some of the vet- eran baseball pitchers who do not round into form until after mid-season. His average of 165 4-5 in the match Sunday evening was anything but up to his old- time form. Many women were in the big gallery. They cheered just as much for a good shot on the part of one of the Chicago players _as they did when some St. Louis man covered himself with glory. In the Palace Scratch League the Hyde Parks took three games from the Fern Glens. The highest man on the Hyde Parks was Dean with scores of 171, 192 and 162. The Duffys took two out of three from the Hoppes. In ‘thig match, too, nobody had especially good scores, as the highest was made by Jarrett with 154, 206 and 179. The Diels took the odd game from the Owls with Jule Schmitt as anchor man for the former team and rolling three games totaling 566 pins.

im ROWLE OUT FOR REVENGE IM RETURN MATCH Duffys Want to Make it Two Out of Three With Chal- mers-Detroit. CHICAGO TEAM WINS

Take Special Tenpin Contest From St. Louisans by Mar- gin of Ten Pins. — A return match between the Chal- mers-Detroit five and the Duffys team of this city will in all probability be arranged following the defeat of the local bowlers by the men from the Windy City in their special match on the De Soto-Olive alleys Sunday even- ing. Although the match was close, the Chicago bowlers wihning by a mar- gin of only 10 pins, 4336 to 4826, the scores are considered poor, and both teams feel that they did not do themselves justice, Both sides are willing to try to arrange another match. The mere fact that the local men lost would not necessitate another match, but the teams stand at present even up, owing te the victory of the Duffys in the Middle West tournament at Omaha two weeks ago. In that tour- nament the Chalmers-Detroit team land- ed third, so that it was considered a defeat for them by the St. Louis men. Return Match in Chicago. In the hurried departure of the Chi- cago men to catch the train for home after the match Sunday evening, noth- ing definite was done with regard to the third meeting of the two teams, but it was suggested that the match take place in Chicago the latter part of this month, or else in this city at the time of the American Bowling Congress tour- nament in January. In the match Sunday evening it would be impossible to pick any three games out of the five that either team rolled whose added total would come up to the games they shot at Omaha. For instance, the last three games that the Duffys rolled were their highest, being 865, 913, and 888, for a total of 2666 pins, against 2909 at Omaha. Pflueger Is High Local Man. The Chalmers team made 2837 at Oma- ha, and here their highest three games only totalei 2636. For the St. Louis team, Jake Pflueger rolled not only the highest total of pins, but also shot the most consistent game of any men on the team. In his 50 frames he did not have a miss scored against him, and he had the good, substantial average of 178 3-6, which is considered a fair aver- age in competition of that kind. Mat Faetz was high man for the Chi- cago team, with average of 141-5. Hf it had not been for a couple of bad slips in his fourth, he would have gone way beyond that. He had a spare and four strikes up when he fell down on an easy shot. The match was for a purse of $6500, and it was very apparent that the St. Louis men will not rest easy until they cah get another chance to retrieve their lost fortunes.

ag Pa Gets a Short Count, but Moran Is Shown As His Master

That Battling Nelson received a short count in the eleventh round of his fight with Owen Moran, the Englishman, in San Francisco Nov. 26, is clearly shown in the moving pictures of the battle, which were put on exhibition at the Standard Theater Sunday. While the Dane can claim that he should have not been declared the loser on this point, the films clearly show that the little Briton is-the former lightweight cham- pion’s master. Nelson took a world of punishment during the 11 rounds, and while he land- ed on the Englishman’s face and body often, his blows. lacked their old time steam. No fighter could have stood up so long before the conqueror of Joe Gans and received the blows Nelson planted —-provided the old-time force was pening them. Nelson Helped Defeat Himself. The. fight on the canvas proves that Nelson went a long. way towards de- feating himself. For 10 of the 11 rounds he was the aggressor. He did all the leading. He forced the battle ten- elevenths of the way and was on top of the Briton all the time. It is said that after the sixth round Nelson’s seconds instructed him to hold back to’ enable Moran to do some of the aggressive work. However, the Dane paid no heed to this tip, ag he is shown with his head bent down boring in all the way.. He likes to fight.. It seemed that Nelson had an equal chance with the Britisher for 10 rounds. him madly. In his own corner, after only a few seconds of fighting, Moran put a terrific right to Nelson's jaw. He bounded back, struck the floor, while his legs swung up in the air. He stayed down for more than eight seconds. Moran was on top of him all the time. He floored him three times more, be- fore the final knockdown.. Nelson :ooked a goner, as he remained on bis haunches and elbow for about six sec- onds. Then he started to arisé. The referee is plainly shown, tolling off the seconds. As he counts nine soon follows. It seems that the nine and ten were counted almost together. Would Have Stayed Limit. The round was about a half minute from being finished, and Nelson claims that he would have regained his feet and stayed.the limit. This may be true but the pictures are proof that Battling is no longer the great fighter he was. Members of the company showing with che pictures saw Ne!son in Kansas City Saturday night. He said he planned to return to his ranch in New Mexico for a long rest. Then, he announced, he would return to the ring. He said he would be satisfied with a return match with Ad Wolgast, who defeated him for the title. ‘“‘He’s one fighter I can whip,’ said Nelson. How- ever, he paid his respects to Moran.

PHELPS SLATED FOR THE MINORS Rumor Has It That Roger Has Asked Waivers on His First Lieutenant. is

CINCINNATI, Dec. 12.—President Herrmann is willing to make a deal with the new owner of the Boston club, if one can be arranged. The men whom the Red chief wants are Al Mattern, the left-hand pitcher, who ranks with Nap Rucker of Brooklyn as the best in the league, and Bill Sweeney, the clever shortstop and third baseman., He will offer a trade for these players which may be accepted. ' Mattern would fill the vacant place left by the downfall of Burns and Co- veleskie, the only Red southpaws, while Sweeney is a first-class, allround in- fielder and can play shortstop. Mr. Herrman does not know whether there will be anything doing along this line, yet he will make an offer during the meeting next week.. The story from Chicago to the effect that Grant and McQuillen were to be traded for Reulbach, McIntire, Pfiester and Pfeffer filied the Red chief with un- holy glee. “Tt would not eatin MeQuillen alone for all the pitchers mentioned and Over- all thrown in,” says he. ‘“‘They must be getting frightened up in Chicago. Both Grant and MeQuillen were secured to play with the Reds and they will be found only in Cincinnati uniforms next season.”’ Waivers have been asked on. Tom Downey and all clubs have waived, so it looks as if Tom would go back to the minors unless he is used in some trade. The Reds wiil use Dave Altizer at short- stop and will depend on Breen and Es- mond for subs. ° The St. Louis club has asked waiv- ers on Catcher Eddie Phelps, who is to be sent to the minors. Meinke, the young infielder who was tried out in one game at shortstop by the Reds last summer, has been sold to the St. Joseph club of the Western League. He was a little too light for fast company. ; - —— wr [BASEBALL | There may be two changes in the Yankee infield next season, and there may not, by the time the team returns from the preparatory work in the South. E/lli- ott is a player who may take the place of Jimmy Austin at third base. Accord- ing to Arthur Irwin, he is a wildcat, and would be a good man to tead off in the batting order, such a person as the Yan- kees have been looking for for a long time,

It is said that Rube Waddell is very much put out over being sent to Min- neavolis but is going to do his best for that club. Rube will not show the fans how he does it. He ig now looking for advance money, and the other day, it {fs said, some one connected with the club slipped him a quarter. Roger Bresnahan is keen to land a good left-handed pitcher. The port sider who he is anxious to secure is Bill Burna, for- merliy with the White Sox and now with the eds. There is a deal being talked dbout and some think that Johnny Lueh will be one of the Caruinals’ players who will figure in the deal, In California the papers are still telling how such and such a pitcher blew up in the seventh inning, and how the great eatch of the right fielder just about saved the game when there were a@ couple on the bases. The game goes along all the year around out in the Golden Gate City. Chief Bender, the good pitcher of the Athietics, in talking over other hurlers in his league the other day. said he thou ms that Lange would be some pitcher for t White Sox next season, If so, Duffy will have a very i(fty pitching staff.

This in- formation comes from Manager Fred Clarke of the Pirates, follow- ing the numerous rumors that the “Flying Dutchman” would figure in a trade before the 1911 season opens. ‘T will neither sell, trade nor re- lease Wagner,’’ said Manager Clarke last night before departing for New York to attend the Na- tional League meeting. “If he ever plays ball again it will be with Pittsburg. Of course, he may not want to play, but if he does he will: ’ be throwing dust around our infield next summer.” Clarke admits, though, that a shakeup is due in the Pirate ranks.

ITHACA, N. ¥., Dec. 12—The people of Enfield, N. Y., are lamenting that there are not enough children in the town te give a Christmas church enter- tainment. A leading church woman writes that the conditions are due to the fact that nearly all the marriage- able young folk have gone to the cities. Col. Roosevelt told the people of En- field last fall that the raising of children was more important than raising crops.

MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1910. ISTORECORD FOR- |x TRUST BUSTING IN

Attorney-General’s Report Is rer. Citation of Fraud Against Government.

MANY SUITS PENDING

Smuggling, Illegal Use of Mails and Bucket Shops Are Prosecuted.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The annual report of Attorney-General Wicker- sham, presented-to Congress today, is one long story of frauds against the Government. Trusts, so-called and real, their alleged consipiracies to defeat the law; land frauds, customs frauds, frauds on the internal revenue, re- bates, bucket shops and fradulent uses of the mails have made 1910 the most strenuous year in the history of the Department of Justice, Wickersham as- serts. Prosecutions for violation of the anti- trust law were foremost in the work of the year. Actions, says the Attorney- General, are now under way or pend- ing against the following so-called trusts: Tobacco Trust. Standard Oil Co. Sugar Trust. Harriman lines. Hard Coal Trust. Powder Trust. Terminal Railway Association of St. Louis. Towing Trust, on the Great Lakes. James A. Patton and others for an alleged corner in a Beef Trust. Wholesale Grocers’ Trust. Butter and Egg Trust. Brick Trust. Bathtuh Trast. | The following convictions obtained and fines imposed during the year are cited: em MOOG, TOG, Finn cck coc eecccec: $87,000 Peme Weer TOG. eon oo ss vvcodk csc, 3,500 Window Glass Trust, fined......... 10,000 After the Attorney-General’s report came from the press,* however, the American Naval Stores Co., known as the Turpentine Trust, and six codefend- ants were convicted of violations of the anti-trust law. Two of the individual defendants were sentenced .to three months each in jail and fines aggrega- ting $17,500 were imposed. Sugar Trust Pays Heavily Prosecutions of the Sugar Trust for frauds upon the Government in the weighing of raw sugar recovered for the Government $8,186,363.a8. Convictions d_.sentences of individuals, still fresh in the public mind, were obtained. Most extensive of all frauds against the Government yet discovered, are those in the undervaluations of im- ports into the United States. The ex- tent of the Treasury losses only can be conjectured. Every step of the inves- tigation shows fresh leads. There are now suits under way to re- cover $700,000, of which the custums revenue is said to have been drefrauded in’ imports of cheese and figs from Mediterranean ports; indictments are pending and some convictions have been obtained. More than 30 individual in- dictme'its are pending against persons charged with, smuggling with ‘‘sleeper trunks.”’ “The conditions disclosed seem to in- dicate to a very general practice of un- dervaluations,"’ says the Attorney-Gen- eral, ‘‘and a very lax administration of the customs laws in the past, which has subjected the Government to a very material loss of revenue. A _ general] investigation into the subject of frauds by undervaluation has only commenced. and this branch of the subject will now be pressed vigorously.’’ Twenty-Five Rebating Indictments. Twenty-five criminal indictments charging rebating and other illegal dis- criminations are pending against rail- roads, private corporations and individ- uals. Two convictions with fines were obtained in the year. The department won victories against unlawful fencing of the public domain. Prosecution against the Oregon and Ca)- ifornia Railroad Co. and 4 other de- fendants to recover 2,300,000 acres of lands valued at $50,000,000 which the Gov- ernment charges illegally are held are now-pending. There are also under way 24 suits against the Central Pacific Railway Co. and others. In the department's campaign against bucket shops, 360 such places were closed, others voluntarily closed as a result of the crusade, and indictments are pending against men and corpora- tions and the telegraph company which allowed the use of its wires. During the year there were 15,371 crim- inal cases of all sorts in the United States courts which produced fines, for- feitures and penalties aggregating $1,- 083,974. be The Attorney-General recommends fegislation to permit the United States to sue and prosecute an offending cor- poration wherever that corporation may do business. As result of the Attorney-General’s ent trip to Alaska he presents some récommendations for the relief in that rritory. Some law should be enact- to help the needy and deserving poor in that clime, he says. Under the pres- ent law, when a person is found with legs or arms frozen off or starved near- | it is necessary to charge the invalid with vagrancy and have him committed in order to get treat- ment in a Government hospital.
