ers Find Ashland, Bryan Hill, Laclede, Madisonand Madison Branch the W orst Of- fenders. Inquiry by Post-Dispatch reporters has: shown that 17 public school buildings in various parts of the city are daily contributors to the city’s smoke nuisance, against which the Post-Dis- patch and civic organizations are cam- paigning. The Ashland, Bryan Hill, Laclede, Madison and Madison Branch schools are among the worst of the smokers. Others which have occasioned com- plaints in their neighborhoods by their suming chimneys are the Gratiot,. Lin- coin Branch, Lowell, Des Peres, Crow, Crow Branch, Divoll, Stoddard.

Among the latter are equipment has been ‘authorized for four buildings, to be installed during the next summer, and the board is expected, to make similar provision for the rest. The part taken by the Board of Edt- cation in the campaign against smoke was mentioned by Prof. Calvin M. Woodward at a meeting of the Execu- tive Committee of the Women’s Smoke Abatement Association, held Monday afternoon at the Wednesday Club. He spoke of the dense smoke caused by the Terminal Association’s engines, and estimated the amount of coal buined by these engines in St. Louis as 450 tons a day. He compared this with the elec- trification of the New York Central’s terminals in New York. ‘Miss Charlotte Rumbold talked to the women on the way smoke is abated in Post-Dispatch Report- the five buildings first named.

LIVED 89 YEARS, NEVER TOLD A LIE ~ORSCOLDED WIFE Special to the Post-Dispatch. KIRKSVILLE, Mo., Dec. 20.—William Howard Sheeks, whose proudest boast was that he had never told a lie or quarreled with his wife, and who had celebrated more wedding anniversaries probably than any other man _ in home near Kirksville, at the age of 89. He and his wife were planning to celébrate their seventieth wedding apniversary on Dec. 24. His wife, jaged 90, is prostrated. Both were natives of Kentucky and moved to Missouri when they were children.’ They were married on Christ- mas eve, 1840, near Huntsville, and soon afterward moved to Macon County, where the young husband hewed a home out of the wilderness. He made every- thing by hand, and when his cabin was completed there had not been a nail used in its construction. It was a log house, and the clapboards on its roof ‘were held in place by long poles. "I had $2.50 in my pocket when we | Walked up to old Judge Barrows to pe ovnkinoge Sheeks often related, “four

Tener, his successor, when he retires from .office next month, is the disposal of the case of Mrs. Kate HEad- wards, who is in the Berks County jail under sentence of death for the mur- der of her husband about nine years ago. Because of the public sentiment stirred up at the time of her conviction against hanging a woman, two govern- ors have passed her case on to their suc- cessors. ‘Mrs. Edwards and a negro named Gleason were ested for the murder . the husband. The colored man was a friend of the woman and the husband had declared he would kill her, so that in fear, if not in self-defense, she killed him one night and threw the body into a well. Mrs. Edwards and the negro: were tried for murder and Gleason, on a re- trial, was acquitted, though once con- victed. and sentenced to be hanged. Gov. Pennypacker set’ a. day for the woman's execution, but before the date arrived an application was made to the Board of Pardons for the commutation of the woman's death sentence to tm- prisonment for life and on the night previous to the day of execution Gov. reprieved thé woman in Penny order that the board\might hear the

~TPLEEING FROM HIS FARES, DRIVES HIS TAXICAB UPSTAIRS Shepherd and Machine Plunge Over Sidewalk Into Mrs. Hoff- man’s Rooming House.

SAYS HE WAS ROBBED Chauffeur Declares Joy Riders Refused to Pay, Beat Him and Then Took His $14. While fleeing in his taxicab from three fares who had refused to pay the bill for an all-night ride, and from two of he charges, had Harvey Shepherd, a chauffeur, ran his machine over a side- walk and into an open hallway at 20 _ North Ninth street at 7 a. m. Tuesday. The taxicab wrecked a brick wall for several feet on one side of the doorway and started up a flight of. stairs at Mrs. Kate Hoffman's rooming house. It climbed only a few steps, then fell back to the sidewalk, while Shepherd, breath- less after his adverture, tumbled from his seat and ran to look for a police- man. Invaded East St. Louis. Shepherd, who is.-employed by the St. Louis Taxicab Co., told the first police- man he met that he took a party of three men shortly before midnight and carried them from one downtown club to another, with an excursion to East St. Louis in the middle of the tour. As day broke at about 6:30, he said, the men directed him to take them to the Typo-Press Club, 110 North Eighth street. When he set them out at the cltib his taximeter indicated that their bil! would be $12.20. ‘*S too much,” said one of the men, and offered him $10. The chauffeur refused to accept the $10, and followed his fares into the club. There, be related, two other men took up the eause of the three, and. cajling him a robber, ordered him out of the place. He started to leave, he sai et | before he.could. get out the two bored him about the head and, he de- clared, toak the ‘contents. of his pocket. about $14. Gilad to escape with his life, Shepherd said, he ran out and jumped on his ma- chine. The two men followed him, and one jumped on each side of the driver's seat as he started for the company’s garage at Twelfth and Chestnut streets. Avoids Collision With Car. The pair pummeled:him, he said, as he increased the speed, and they dropped off the car at Ninth and Chestnut streets just as he saw a Cherokee car bearing down on him. To avoid a collision with the car, he turned his machine toward the sidewalk, and it took the obstruction gracefully and made a smashing entrance into Mrs. Hoffman’s lower doorway, which ad- joins a real estate office. : He repeated his story to officials of the company later in the morning, while policemen looked for the three delin- quent fares and their two turbulent friends. BITTEN BY HORSE; GETS 6000 ANTI-TETANUS SERUM UNITS Stable Boss’s Cheek Is Lacer- ated; Hospital Physicians De- clare Wound Dangerous. Charles Lowe of 5801 Biddle street, a stable boss, employed by the Borgelt & Townsend Co. at 824 North Fourth street, is at the City Hospital with his cheek lacerated by the teeth of a horse. He had: fed a horse belonging to the J. H. Conrad Grocer Co. tn front of the Borgelt stable, and was trying to re- place a bridle on the animal when it bit him. Dr. Walter R. Hewitt, who is treat- ing Lowé, says a horse bite is danger- ous, ‘as it is likely to lead to glan- ders or tetanus. The wound was thor- oughly cleansed with carbolic acid when Lowe was received at the hospital Monday and 6000 units of anti-tetanic serum was injected. Lowe will be kept at the hospital until all danger is past. ASKS DIVORCE FROM A GHOST Husband Says Living Wife’s Spirit Shadows Him. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 20.—In a pe- tition for divorce filed in. the Circuit Court here, Marvin Minnear, a book- keeper, alleged he had been hounded by his wife’s spirit and it was more than he could stand. The wife, Anna Min- near, says the petition, declares she possesses power to separate her spirit from her body and send it where she likes. Minnear alleges she accuses him of infidelity, basing her charges on her power to have her spirit. shadow him and make reports to her of all his do- ings. : Ens , - Cimeinmati Ha, Doll Famine.

PLANNED T0 BAKE RIVALS HAIR IN A PIE FOR REVENGE Wife Thought of Cooking Tres- ses Found in Suit Case for Her Husband’s Mea].

MA-IN-LAW TELLS SECRET Curls Were in Note Book Sales- man Usually Carried Next to His Heart. A pie made with brunette hair was the dainty dish which Mrs. Sadie Gern- hardt of 3877 Utah place planned to set

before her husband after she had found another woman’s dark brown tresses in his suit case on his return from a busi- ness trip to Texas. Mrs. Gernhardt is suing for a divorce, and the story of her unique plan for revenge was told in the deposition of Mrs. : Emy A. Lackay, ffled in the Circuit Court her .mother, which was Tuesday. Afrer she had testified as to the hair, being found in the grip Mrs. Lackay was asked: — ‘What became of that hair?’ Had Ptanned Hair Pie. N “I believe Sadie was going to bake it into a pie for her husband,’’ she re- plied. “Why?” ‘‘Because she found it in his grip and it had no right to be there.” ‘‘Would that kind of hair make a good pie?’’ “T don’t think it would.” “Did your daughter bake the pie?” | -“No, she gave up the idea.” mentioned the name of Mrs. Virginia Jones of: San Antonio, Tex. In her deposition Mrs. Lackay said that besides the lock of brown hair her: daughter also found: in her ‘hus- band’s grip a copy of 4 telegram which ‘he had sent tu Mrs. Jones. : Said Hair Was aJoke. “Where did he say he found the hair?’ _ “He at first said it wae just a joke and: = Titer sald that he found ft on a’ tain. When my daaghter found it in the grip it was in his*personal note book which he usually carried in his vest pocket next to his heart.’ Mrs. Lackay testified that there was a family council at which her husband issued an ultimatum that Gernhbardt must never go on the road again as a traveling salesman: He promised, she said, but later broke the promise and this led to the separation last March. When Gernhardt returned from one of his trips in October, 1909, she said, he seemed extremely eager to return at once to Texas. When pressed for an explanation he said he would have to go back and see @ woman who was trying to blackmail him. Refused to Shovel Snow. Mrs. Lackay testified that while Mr. and Mrs. Gernhardt lived at her home Gernhardt was indifferent to his wife. “In what way?’ she was asked. “Well,” she said, ‘‘he wouldn’t clean the snow off the sidewalk.”’ Gernhardt until recently was a pot- tery salesman. The divorce ease when called Tuesday was continued to the February term because of Gernhardt’s absence from St. Louis.

Stricken with tuberculosis. which she @entracted while ministering to the spir- tual needs of her husband's parishion- | ers, Mrs. Enola Humberd, wife of the Rev. I. A.

Physicians have told Mrs. Humberd ‘that she must never comé back to St. Louis, Humberd and his wife came to St. Louis from Cobden, IIL, a year ago as lunteers to build up the settle-" Ment and institutional work at the Union Congregational Church. Their home, adjoining the church, is at 1437 North Tenth street, in ene of the most congested districts iof the city. . . Lett Pleasant Ministry. The Congregational Church of Cob- den is the most fashionable church there, and is the leading one in the Southern’ Illinois Congregation. Hum- ‘berd and his wife, had they remained in Cobden, could have lived a life of comparative ease in healthful surround- ings. But they longed for more stren- | uous service’ and for: the: institutional work for which they believed .them- selves fitted. When they learned that there was an opening of that sort in St. Louis they did not hesitate to take it, though they were warned beforehand that tubercu-. losis was prevalent. ~ “For five months after we came here my wife's health *was good,”’ said Hum- berd. “I think it was the smoke of the city that first weakened her. Her Jungs were congested, but at first we thought she merely had a bad cold. This weakness caused by thé smoke left her an easy prey to tuberculosis.”’ Mrs. -Humberd .made. daily visits. to - the homes of her husband's parishion- ers. She went into the gloomy and un- ganitary tenements and sat at the bed- * sides of consumptives. She taught Syn- . day school classes of adults and chil- dren and conducted a school in whith 16 courses of study were taught. . Helped at Meetings. , Each nday she assisted her hus- band to hold five meetings. Every ht of the week she was busy with or services and she was active in the work of the City Rescue Mission. .

INDIAN SMITES & BOY WHO LAUGHED AT PERFORMANCE Judge Pollard Fines Him $50, Discharges the Youth and Delivers a Lecture. Because John Hochturn, 16 years old, had the audacity to laugh while Indian Joe was doing his serious turn on the stage of Sam Yatter’s nickelodeon at Franklin and Elliot aventes, the youth, the Indian and the proprietor had to appear before Judge Pollard, Tuesday, and they and the court at- taches were treated to one of the Judge’s very best little lectures. Pollard, not long ago, in a court- room monologue, scored Yatter, who is a private watchman as well as a show proprietor, as a dangerous man. That his opinion has not changed was shown by his remarks after he learned that Yatter had arrested John Hochturn and Indian Joe. “Tt ig an awful condition in this big city of ours,’ said the Judge, ‘“‘when a citizen is allowed to wield the power of an officer, and if he doesn’t like the color of a person's eyes, to beat that person over the’ head. The Police Board should be requested to revoke this man’s license as a watchman.” Indian Joe, whose last name is Davis, half Aborigine, does a rope throwing turn in Yatter’s show. When Hoch- turn laughed, Indian Joe stopped and asked him what he was laughing at. The youth was unable to explain satis- factorily and the Indian smote him in the face. When Hochturn demanded that the Indian be arrested, Yatter told him he would have to be included in the ar- rest. This was seemingly what re- kindled Judge Pollard’s wrath against Yatter. He discharged the youth and fined. the Indian $50. BOY SUES SCENIC RAILWAY FOR. TWO BROKEN WRISTS John Dunn, 13 Years Old, Wants $5000 From Creve Coeur Lake Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20,—That it is hard for true love--to run a smooth course on the stage or off is exemplified by the reported estrangement of Lulu Glaser, one of the best known of! comediennes, and Ralph C.

HAD MANY SPECIAL TRAINS

Cannon Sends Resolution Call- ing for an Accounting to Rules Committee.

By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. ; WASHINGTON, Dec. %.—Congress may be called on to pay the railroad fare of Theodore Roosevelt while he was President of the United. States. A resolution introduced in the House yesterday by Henry T. Rainey of Illi- nois provides for a committee of five, which is directed to ascertain if Theo- dore Roosevelt ever paid or had anyone else pay the railroads which furnished him special trains for his trips about the country. It is the purpose to in- quire into the turkey hunts, bear hunts, speech-making tours and other joy rides of the seven years of the Roosevelt regime. The resolution was sent to the Com- mittee on Rules by Speaker Cannon. If this committee fails to pass upon it within ten days a motion to discharge the committee will be in order. Mr. Rainey will make such a motion and address the House om the subject. Mr. Rainey’s resotution follows the ex- posure of the fact that former Presi- dent Roosevelt accepted transportation from the Pennsylvania and other rail- j roads without paying anything for it. Expenses of Special Trains, The splendors of the Roosevelt joy rides aré well known. When the ex-Pres- ident had his bear hunt in the cane- brakes of Louisiana and his big game hunt in Colorado and other junkets, he usually traveled on a special train made up of a Pullman for himself, one for his friends, one for newspaper cor- | & respondents, a dining car and a baggage car. Such a train is expensive to the rail- roads. Each car of a special train fancy mounted handles; oholee £68. 5s cask escedenses

4 costs at the rate of 2% fares. A charge of mileage and $50 a day for an engine is made. Some of the raiiroad trips of the ex-President covered thousands of miles. The stockholders of the railroads make the complaint that the Pennsyl- vania has ever been reimbursed for the transportation for Col. Roosevelt. One of them, John K. Devine of Phila- delphia, addressed a formal communica- tion of protest to the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. last summer. This letter has never been acted on. It is Mr. Rainey’s purpose to get this information if possible and he proposes the committee of five for this reason Following is the text of the Rainey resolution: ‘Resolved, That a committee of five members of the House be selected in such manner as the House may direct for the purpose of investigating the railroad expenses incurred by Theodore Roosevelt while President of the United States. And said committee will ascer- tain how much, if any, of said expenses have been paid by Theodore Roosevelt or by anyone acting for him. Said com- mittee is directed particularly to inves- tigate the contracts made for trans- portation by Theodore Roosevelt, or anyone acting for him while President, ‘| with the Pennsylvania Railroad or its officials or the demands for transporta- tion made by Theodore Roosevelt while President, upon said railroad. “And said committee will investigate and report on the amount of transpor- tation furnished to the said Theodore Roosevelt by said railroad, the value of the same and whether any portion of it has been paid and when. The committee is directed to make the same investigation with regard to other rail- reads furnishing transportation to the said Theodore Roosevelt and his friends and the officials connected with his ad- ‘ministration during the said period of time. They will also report as to the value of said transportation and wheth- er said transportation has been paid.” Urges Thorough Inquiry. Mr. Rainey said to the Post-Dispatch: “I expect to press this resolution and have a thorough investigation. I re- member that when Mr. Roosevelt was President he frequently made demands on railroads for special trains for hunt- ing trips and other junkets. The trains were always furnished. “The railroads could not afferd to re- fuse a demand made by the President. T have reason to believe: that the bills contracted by the President were never paid. These expenses fell heaviest on the Pennsylvania company. There are 45,000 or 60,000 stockholders in this com- {Pany. It has been charged that trans- portation to the value of at least a hundred thousand doi! was @urnished to Theodore Roosevelt by is com-

It is as good for horses, dogs, etc., as for mankind. Truly a uni- versal healing ointment,’’ writes W. P. Schultz, veterinarian, of Hinsdale, Mass. It is now a well-known fact that Resinol is a reliable and effec- tual cure for Eczema in any form, as well as other eruptive skin diseases, Its healing qualities make it also tha best application for sores of any kind, for burns of any degree, and for skin and flesh wounds from any cause. To the tortured sufferer from itching piles or similar trouble, it is a god- send. .To keep the skin healthy and free from eruptions, and to insure a good complexion, there is nothing bet- ter than Resinol Soap for the daily bath. It prevents the appearance of pimples and other unsightly blem- ishes. It also prevents and cures dandruff and keeps the scalp free from irritation. Resinol Medicated Shaving Stick is on the same’line and professional men, and in fact all who have used it, indorse and recommend it most highly. All of these prepara- tions. are the very best for the pur- poses for which they are made, They can be procured wherever fine toilet articles are sold in any part of the world.

A DISGRACEFUL SITUATION. From the Boston Record. The World’s charge against Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island is one that he cannot afford to overlook. It shows that the books of the. United States Rubber Co., or the Rubber Trust, which is the combination ef rubber manufac- ' turers, show that he holds 840 shares of preferred stock and that four other Aldriches in his family also have stock in the concern. He has admitted before that he and his son were heavily inter- ested in the International Rubber Co.; controlling the crude product. It is unquestionable that Senator Aldrich, who was head of the committee tHat made the tariff bill, raised the duty on manufactured rubber from 30 per cent to 8 per cent. This completes an extraordinary situation. The Aldrich family is in the position of selling its supply of crude rubber to itself to man- ufacture, reselling in time to the public, while ‘the head of the house regulates the tariff so there is sure to be a profit. It is a disgraceful situation. Mere of the Same, From the Detroit News. And now it is “Saint Sebastian.” Gabriele d’Annunsio has decided to outdo Oscar Wilde and Richard Strauss with their “Salome.” The new opera depicts the martyred Sebas- tian invited to the orgie of Ro.nan roues and their paramours, then shot full of arrows by the delighted wom- ‘n. Burlesque companies are advised to lay in a stock of arrows. They already have the rest of the equip- ment, ‘

I¢ Didn’t Happen Here Also, From the Chicago News. A man and a keg of rivets fell to- gether off a bridge at Fort’ Piain, N. Y., and the keg beat the man to the frozen river below, breaking the thick ice and permitting the man to drop into the water uninjured. This entitles the law of gravitation to 4 Carnegie medal The Poor Railroads. From the Detroit News. The railroads cost some $10,000,- 000,000 to build. They are capitaliced at $18,000,000,000, and probably worth more. They collect $7,000,000 a day from the people, which is $127 a year for each family, and have earned in the past 10 years $6,660,000,000, nice de the poor railroads.

Watching from a shady nook, Puts his Mamma and his Papa In the club with Dr. Cook. ————— a PROSE POEM. \ When wifey makes her Christmas list she manages to figure in an al- most never-ending grist of now but scarce remembered kin. An aunt, per- haps, we had forgot, away in some se- questered place; an uncle out in Pot- sum Trot of whom we hever have kept trace; a cousin here, a nephew there, an Uncle Dick and Cousin Steve, and blood relations everywhere as far away as. Mother Eve. How' wifey does it, goodness knows, but whether near or whether far, or howsoever fate dis- pose, she always knows right where they are. A Pinkerton upon the job would blow his brainga out in a week, but wifey finds them, Bill and Bob, the cousin down in Martinique, the seden- tary and the sort that ever are upon the way, the rich man at his swell re- sort, and the poor man working:by the day. It never has feazed wifey yet, nor does she care how generous they are in turn, they still will get some little thingabob from us, Not much, of Written for the Post-Dispatch by Olark McAdams. cc euutiaeeeeenal ™ ‘ | to thelr Adress; to cause, perhaps, & mnchnantl inde til dine tan ebund af ties liness. Who knows? At any rate, whea Time shall toll them off, as Time will do, and this too-fleeting pantomime we know as life is gotten through, tf wifey doesn’t win the day from all the other watchful camps of heirs, we will have thrown away an awful lot of post- age stamps. DOWN AGAIN, _ Poetry went down two points on Mon- day as a result of the appearance of a book of poems by Grace Griswold. We quote the second verse of her poem “Thanksgiving Day.” Now comes with odor appealing : The turkey so cheaty and grand And covers but partly concealing The rarest good things in the land. “Do you play golf this —_ of Year?” “Sure.” ‘How do you like it?’ “Well, I must say I am particularly fond of the frozen ponds.” With both of them beyond almost any- body’s means, it is a serious question whether we ought to observe Christmas

this year or wait for “Salome.”

F you are a young woman, would I you rather be called - Gladys or Jemima? If you are a young man, would you prefer answering to Claude or Hi- ram? Now don’t answer till -you consult the Onomasticon. For the On-all-the-rest- of-it is the only ‘complete dictionary of personal names in existence, according to its author, Dr. Samuel A. Binion. Dr. Binion has already attained a repu- tation as an Egyptologist. But into this dictionary which -he is about to pub- lish he has put the best of. sixteen years’ work, and the result is an ex- haustive table showing the derivation ond meaning of more than five thousand “given” names of both men and women, in more than twenty languages. ‘And if you use this dictionary: you'll find. that highfalutin’ ‘Claude’’ beth have the unpleasant meaning’ of “lame,"’ whereas “Jemima” translates ‘bright as the day,” and the prosaic “Hiram” ‘is defined as “noble and exalted.” . ‘If you still pine for the ieneathae syl- lables, .hear what Dr. Binion says: “A name is one of the strongest in- fluences on a life. The proverb, ‘Give a dog s bad name and hang him,’ is al- most literally true. “The Egyptians, the Jews—all the wise. old peoples—believed firmly in the power of a name for good or evil over its’ hearer Frequently. the Jews, if a man were.éxceedingly ill, would change i his game Ih the temple and pray that the new name might give him new life. When we moderns learn the real science of ‘names we shall no-more give to our children those with weak of false mean- ings than we now christen them ‘Liar’ or ‘Thief’ or ‘Scarectow.’ ‘“T have cendulted. countless authori- ties, both here and in Lendon, for com- piling. this dictionary,” he says. “I have tried to include all the commones: names of all nations, even the Japanése. TAbout half are men's names and half women’s. It's a ‘wonderful study, and I‘can so often prove my theory of the relation between name-meanings and

But there are so many names of fine meaning that possess a countless number of variations, enough, it would seem, for everybody's taste. Take the name ‘Elizabeth,’ that means 18 forms of it—Eliza, Elisa, Elise, Lise, Betsy,, Betty, Bet, Bessie, Bess, Lizzie, Lizette, Isabel, Belle, Bell, Tibby, Libby, Elsie and Elspeth. ‘+? Mi , which has the beautiful meaning of ‘beloved,’ may also be writ- ten Miriam, Martha, Maisie or Mollie. ‘“‘Ninety per cent of the English names come in the first Instance from the He- brew. The founders of Christianity de- liberately chose the nobler adjectives and attributes as the fittest titles for their gons end daughters. These have descended to us. “ ‘Kezivah’ is a beautiful name for a woman. ‘It means ‘divine love.’ And I especially approve of ‘Theophilus’ and Each may be trans- lated as ‘beloved of God.’ ” But cheer up—there are others that sound ‘sweeter and mean no worse. To prove it, Dr. Binion allowed me to copy the following from his book: Common names and their meaning: Feminine—Agnes, pure; Amy, beloved; beautiful; Beatrice, blessed; Blanche, white; Christine, anointed: Clara, clear! Constance, firm; Dorothea, gift: of ‘God; Eaith, happiness; Ethel, noble; Eleanor, light; Emily, work; Bve- lyn, Pleasant; Florence, flower; Ger- trude, spear maiden; Helen, bright as the sun; Katharine, pure; Louise, re- nowned warrior; Margaret, pearl; Mil- dred, mild commander; Rosamond, fa- mous protection; Sarah, princess; Wint- fred, friend of peace.

Love and Matrimony Advice on Affairs of the Heart, art, Written for the Post-Dispatch By BETTY D VINCENT. EAR girls, when a man has taken you to the theater or to some party you need not feel that you are under any obligations to him. His compensation is your company. I am prompted to *tell you this by a letter I re¢eived from @ girl only this morning. She writes: ‘‘My family has very little money. A young man I know who is uite wealthy has been paying me a great deal of attention. He has an automobile and frequently he has taken me out in it with a chaperon. I feel indebted to him for so many good times that ‘it seems to me I ought to give him some- thing very handsome for Christmas, although I am scarcely in a financial po- sition to do s0.’’ Now, I want to tell this girl, and a lem, that it is quite unnecessary to think of rewardin He asks you because he admires and li So just be your own sweet selves, my ing you out. the idea of any gift he may receive. ll others troubled with a similar prob- young man for tak- es you, and not with dears, when some man takes you to the theater, and he will be amply repaid for his time and trouble. A Little Sup H. WRITES: “What shall I or- © der in the restaurant after the theater? There are so many things on the bill of fare that I never know. Also I have not been out often enough to see what it is customary to eat.” | The matter is largely one of taste, although I have always thought it was kind to consider the purse of the person who is paying for the supper and not to order toe elaborately.

M J. writes: “I am in love with a ®© twin, whose father objects to my taking her to the theater or a party without her twin sister. As I only earn $12 a week, I find I cannot afford this. What shall I do?’ I fear you will have to resign your- self to taking the young lady out a little less often, so you can save your money between whiles to ask her twin sister to go, too. The Same Letter. 5S. writes: “I am to be married © shortly to a young man whose family name begins with the same letter |: as mine. Recently my girl friends have been telling me that it is hard luck to marry & man with the same initia] as your own, and yesterday one of the girls whom I have selected to act as bride- maid said to me, “Change the name and not the letter, change for worse and not for better.” They have been telling me so much of late in this re- spect that I am getting nervous about it and really dread the future.”’ You are a very silly girl to pay any attention to such oonsense.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—iFire started again last night in the ruins of Sub- station No. 1 of the New York Central, where explosions yesterday caused the death of 10 persons and the injury of 125 others, but .it quickly was extin- guished. Deputy Police Commissioner Driscoll and Coroner Holzhauser gave orders that the ruins be cleared away entirely and a search for additional bodies will be made. Fire insurance men who were ques- tioned concerning the extent of the dam- age believe it will amount to $2,000,000 Damages for the loss of life and in- juries incidental to the explosion are ex- pected to run well above. $1,000,000. When Albert Seagroatt, the engineer who shunted a train into the vicinity of the gas tank, had been arrested by order of Coroner Holtzhauser, District Attorney Whitman said that he consid- ered there was no evidence to show criminal negligence. Seagroatt was pa- roled in custody of his counsel. Marked by Narrow Escapes. Queer things happened to nearly every- pody within a mile of the explosion. Here are a few of the incidents which Were told: Dr. Pimento, a dentist of 1% West Forty-seventh street, had a patient in his operating chair and was preparing to remove a tooth. ‘“Steady,’’ he said to the patient; “‘it will only be a second.’’ He reached for the tooth with his for- ceps and just then the window sash, glass and all, came in. S8Splinters of glass stuck in the patient’s face and Dr. Pimento pulled them out. When all had been removed the patient grabbed his hat from under the debris and rushed out. His tooth didn’t hurt any more, he said. Peter Schwanz, a cobbler, was sitting at a bench in the shoe store at 499: Lex- ington avenue, working on a woman’s shoe. The shoe was blown out ‘of his hand across the shop and through a back window. He.was unhurt, except for slivers of glass. Miss Mary Moore, proprietor of a laundry at 601 Lexington avenue, when she came to the place found the front knocked in. She began a search for lit- tle Tommy O’Connell, her delivery boy. fearing he was either dead or hurt. She opened a clothes press at the back of the shop and Tommy was in it on the floor, whimpering gently. He said he thought it was the end of the world and that the devil would not find him there as quick' as out in front. He had been waiting an hour. Woman Carries Grown Girl, George Burnett of 517 Lexington ave- nue told of seeing a woman 70 years the dust and smoke, carrying a full- grown girl, bigger than herself. The mother instinct had apparently surged up in the aged woman’s heart and had made her forget that the girl was grown. John Thomas, a man of advanced age, eating breakfast with his daughter, Mrs. James S. Shea, at 500 Lexington ave- nue, received full in the face the cof- fee pot from which Mrs, Shea,.on the other side of the table, was filling his cup. Mrs. Shea was blown out of her chair. Fireman William Sythes was cleaning harness in front.of the house of hook and ladder Company No. 2, diagonally opposite the powerhouse. He had just stretched a trace from a hook when a sheet of glass came hurtling through the air and cut the leather in half. , A small >iece of glass from a front window of the Bible Teachers’ Training School at 541 Lexington avenue, sailed through the front room into the library and pierced the binding of a book, sticking there. The name of the book is “Quiet Talks on Power.” Joseph Barth, a tailor, on Lexington avenue near Forty-ninth street, was pressing a pair of trousers when the explosion blew in his plate-glass win- dow, whirling the trousers off the board, but failing to make him lose his equilibrium or his hold on the fron. Saucer Fellows Coffee Cup. Mrs. Masry Cooney was drinking cof- fee in the basement of the house at 560 Lexington avenue. The explosion took the cup and saucer and kept them close ‘| together as it carried them out Into the back yard through a’ window. Leo von Molle, 558 Lexington avenue, was dressed and ready to go out when the front window was smashed in and a piece of glass shot into his .right trousers pocket with such force that it cut his leg. A blotter on a’ desk in the apartments of Lioyd Osbourne, a writer and step- son of Robert Louis Stevenson of 668 Lexington avenue, was torn in halves, one piece fiying up into the air and in back of a picture and the other half remaining where it belonged. Battalion Chief William J.

The young women, who are the members of the next graduating class, have all tak- en the cooking course, and the meal for the children, which they busily pre- effort thus far. The little girls who will eat the din- ner will be guests from the downtown district, selected from vafious missions and settlements in which the young women and their mothers are interested. Beside the culinary treat, dolls, candy and toys will be given them. - Each Has a Kitchen. | Each of the 26 seniors has a gag stove, cooking utensils and provision ef her own for the preparation of the feast. The principal features of the dinner which they will cook and serve will be turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed po- tatoes, ice cream and cake. All these and the candy distributed after the meal, will be made by the seniors. Miss Alice Chamberlain, teacher of the cooking class, supervised the prepa- ration of the dinner Tuesday. The vol- unteer cooks and waitresses are Miss Louise Kroeger, president of the Mary Institute senior class; Misses Marjory Abbott, Dorothy Cook, Edna Delafield, Fugenia, Blanke, Gladys Howard, Sarah Jamison, Helen Macdonald.

A feature of the annual graduation ex- ercises is an elaborate luncheon, pre- pared.«by the senior girls and served to their mothers. In addition to this, they frequently give lunches to their friends throughout the school year,

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 20:—Victor L. Berger, Alderman-at-Large and So cial-Democratic Congressman-elect, yes- terday was. defeated by the Socialist contingent ‘n the City Council when he opposed the passage of a measure which the City Attorney has declared uncon- stitutional. The measure Was one to allow washerwomen to use city water free. The Socialist City Attorney had declared the measure unconstitutional, but the Socialists wanted to pass it anyway and did so despite the objec- tions of Berger. The Council adopted 17 resolutions asking for the passage by the Legisla- ture of that number of Milwaukee Dills, allowing the city to engage in various enterprises at present barred by law. The Socialists, among other’ requests, want the authority to erect municipal hospitals, ice plants, packing houses, to conduct any public utility and in gen- eral to have complete home rule grant- ed to Milwaukee, instead of the city being forced to ask legislative approval for every innovation proposed.

A curious venture in vaudeville is the Homer Lind production of the third epi- sode in Offenbach’s “Tales of Hoff- mann,”’ the headline feature of the new Columbia bill that began its week Mon- day afternoon and evening. The third Hoffmann “tale” thus se un- expectedly presented, preceding the work’s full performance during the en- gagement of the Chicago Opera Com- pany at the Collseum next month, Is that which tells the touching story of Antonia, beloved of Hoffmann, tricked by the malevolent Dr. Miracle into sing- ing when this indulgence in her beloved art inevitably means her death. It is a quite dramatic episode, to which the Offenbach score materially contrib- utes in its musical utterance, and the demand upon the few singers needed for its interpretation is severe. Naturally, grand opera in vaudeville isn’t grand opera in its best environ- ment, nevertheless the Columbia offer- ing has certain distinct points of merit. Its worthiest figure is that of Antonia herself, the role being sung with fair ef- fectiveness by Miss Helena Frederick, especially in the big final moment of ihe burst of song with which Hoffmann’s doomed sweetheart unconsciously invites her fate. The second element of strength is Mr. George Crampton’s vocal and dramatic } portrayal of the somewhat uncanny role of Dr. Miracle, this singer’s big and so- norous voice being excellently used and his acting not by any means common- piace. The next point of merit in the pre- sentation is found in Mr. Arthur F. Burckly’s work as Hoffmann, his tenor score, however, being marred by hard and nasal notes that much diminished the possibilities of beauty. The minor roles of Crespal, father of Antonia, and Hedwig, their servant, were capably taken by Mr. Henry Hal- lam and Miss Agnes Ryan, while the Voice heard from the portrait of An- tonia’s mother was that of Miss Alice Hills, quite admirably used. The Colum- bia orchestra, directed for the time be- ing by Mr. W. H. Humiston, acquitted itself with genuine credit. As what may be called a small sam- ple of the Offenbach opera, yet to be Leard in its completeness for the first time in St. Louis, the Columbia one episode version is very well worth while. It reveals beauties tn the score that create a keen music-hunger for the work in its entirety. Other features on the new bill are Frank Stamford and company, in “A Hunter’s Game;” Miss Corinne Francis, in pleasing songs; Lavinia Shannon and company, in “Blocking His Game;” Wii- liams and Warner, eccentric musicians; the Four Huntings, in “The Fool House;”’ Herbert Ashley and Al Lee, in “Chinatown,” a fantastical musical dialogue; the Kitamura Japs, and the kinodrome. ee CLEVER BILL AT PRINCESS.

AUDITORS EMBRACE MASCAGNI AFTER HE SINGS LATEST OPERA Composer Gives Performance of “Isabeau’’ All by Himself; It Is Judged His Masterpiece. : ROME, Dec. #.—Pietro Mascagni gave a presentation of his new opera, ‘‘Isa- beau,” before many musical celebrities. critics and newspaper representatives. Mascagni sat at the piano and sang the ontire opera. The spectacle of the com- poser thundering over the ' keyboard. gesticulating, singing ali the parts, in- cluding the choruses, at times stopping to make explanations, aroused the en- thusiasm of his audience. The first act lasted ®ne hour and fif- teen minutes, and the second act twenty minutes and the third act thirty-five minutes. The success of the individual performance was certain. “Isabeau” already is judged by its auditors of today as Mascagni’s master- piece. The composer was embraced by his admirers and congratulated by everyone present. He and his wife wili depart for New York Jan. 6 by way of Cherbourg. The opera is to be produced in New York this season, Na ee, Vice-President Entertains Tafts.

American Leaguers Here to Formally Turn. Over Browns to New Owners

President Johnson Says Transfer Will Probably Be Only Matter of Form—Comisk:y Will Talk Trade for Fielder Jones. RESIDENT B. B. JOHNSON.of the Amerfcan League, who is here with Owner Charlies A. Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox, as a committee to look into the sale ef the Brown##by Robert L. Hedges to a syndicate of St. Louisans, told the Post-Dispatch that the conference would be held at the Racquet Club Tuesday afternoon. Frank J. Farrell, owner of the New York club, the third member of the committee, is not in St. Louls. According to Mr. Johnson, he is ill at his home in New York. It is believed that the Browns will be formally turned over to the new own- ers without any delay. After Hedges announced the’ the sale had been made ‘In New York, he assured his fellow magnates that the new owners were the proper people to handle the ball club. For that ‘reason, Johnson and his col- leagues are expected to bicker little, if any, over the transfer. “We were completely dumfounded when Hedges informed us in New York _ last week that he wanted to retire from baseball and had an offer for his stock,” declared Johnson to the Post-Dispatch “Of course, we will hate to lose Hedges, but if the new owners comply with the rules of the American League we will gladly take them in. “I do not think there will be any trouble in transferring Hedges’ stock to the St Louisans, and if Hedges wants to get out of the American League we are happy that the Browns will be controlled by St. Louisans. ) _Somasce Against Syndicate Ball. ‘I have always been strictly against syndicate baseball and so long as I am president of the American League each club shall be owned and controlled by different men. No single man shall have anything to do with two clubs. “Several of our owners were xe -tg te buy Hedges’ interests, as they be- HMeve St. Louis to be one of the best towns in the country. It has never had a real winner, but has always supported the America: League. ‘ “Hedges gave me the names of the men who have obtained his holdings and said that he could swing the deal at a moment’s notice. However, it is a big venture and the American League must look out for the general interests of the club as well as the League, so we told him to wait until a committee could investigate the prospectivé new , owners. No Trouble Over Deal. ; “We want to be assured that the men who secured Hedges’ stock are men of good financial backing and stand willing to. expend their money to bring a winner -here. «I. .do -neot think there will be any trouble in making this deal. and probably after a short interview with Hedges, the lesser stockholders and the new men, the entire transac-. tion will be completed in a few min- utes.”’ Comiskey, will’ you allow the new owners to dicker with Fielder Jones to become manager of the Browns?’ was asked of the White Sox owner, . “T can hardly answer that question,” “Mr,

}

replied Comiskey. ‘‘Fielder has told me that he is through with baseball and does not care to re-enter the game. However, you can’t tell’ But you know I would not turn Fielder over to the Browns for nothing. # Comiskey Will Trade Jones. Possibly we could arrange some sort of a déal. But 1 would like have Jones back myself. When he left me it was not because there was any salary difference, and if he cares to redon his spangies, I think that I would give him just as big a salary as anyone. “The failure with the Browns has been a disappointment with me. This is my old home and it was back in the late s when I was fighting for St. Louis. And today, next to Chicago, my heart is with this city. If Jones won't play with me and would like to play with St. Louls, then who knows but we might arrange a trade?’ Comiskey and Johnson will remain in St. Louis only Tuesday. They: stated that they would return to Chicago on a night train, which proves that it will not take very long to turn the deal, the biggest St. Louis has seen in years, whereby Hedges retires from basebal: to enjoy the wealth he accumulated at the expense of St. Louis fandom. While the new owners will not require much time to convince the committee that they will. do everything in their power to upbuild the Browns, much time will probably be spent in advising the newcomers. Will Talk of Manager. The question of the appointment of a manager will be one of the main topics, while Johnson and Comiskey are likely to suggest trades that. will help the Browns. It wouldn’t be surprising if Comiskey relieved the Browns of one of the outfielders in exchange for a pitcher. Ben C. Adkins, E. M. Hodgman, Mark and Nat Ewing and Ed Prendergast, members. of the syndicate that. pur- chased the Browns, have made no an- nouncement concerning the election of officers. Neither is it .nown who will become president of the club, succeed- ing Mr. Hedges. Mr. Hedges, however, plans to remain at the head of the club for a month or two, to lend whatever aid possible in guiding the newcomers. He says he has several deals framed, and will spring them if they meet the uppr-val of the new magnates. Following Tuesday’s meeting, an- nouncement will probably be made of the date for the first meeting of the new club owners, when officers will be elected. —a

WRESTLER HACK WILL SHOW HERE Promoter Baptiste Seeks Hall to Stage Bouts for ‘‘Russian Lion.”’ | George Baptiste is trying to locate a hall where he can stage George Hack- enschmidt, the Russian Lion, with two or three - other wrestlers. Hacken- schmidt’s terms are satisfactory, but Baptiste cannot see his way clear te take a chance on the Coliseum. Hack will be seen here before long to a cer- tainty, however. Baptiste and other wrestlers agree that the celebrated Gotch toe hold, which’ has figured in the wrestling game so prominently of late, ig a chest- nut. Gotch did not invent it by any means. Evan Lewis, the strangler, was the first man to use it and that was some 25 years ago, when he met Mat- sada Sarkishe, a 150-pound Japanese, who was said to be the greatest grap- pler who ever came from Japan. Lewis at that time broke all of the sinews in the Jap’s leg with what was known as a footiock, after which Mr. Jap’s wrestling career was done for. Not a few wrestling men declare that the hold should be barred. A man can- not catch hold of a man’s ear and pull it. Neither can he gouge his oppon- ent in the eye. If Gotch would agree to give up the toe hold all other wres- tlers would also bar it just as they did the strangle hold. —_—_——-— & Ross Dro, ‘aver Fighter, CHEYENNE, W. 3, Dec. 20.—‘Kid’’ Ross of New York knocked out ‘‘Young”’ the eleventh round of a sched ‘round go.

KIENER 1S OUT. FOR MORE WORK M. A. C. Captain to Organize Athletes in Effort to Obtain More Competition. + Harry Kiener, captain of the Missouri A. C. track team, is organizing what will be known as an athletic fraternity, to be composed of all the athletic mem- bers at the club and also the other members who ‘are interested in ath- letics. : Kiener’s idea is to obtain more com- petition for the Cherry Diamond ath- letes by having the fraternity support |, only the men who will support ath- letics. Freddie Quinn, formerly one of the best sprinters in St. Louis, and a for- mer member of the Triple A and Mis- souri A. C. track teams, is slowly re- covering his health after an attack of nervous prostration that almost put him down and out for the count. Quinn in the near future expects to open up a sporting goods. store. The all-around championship events are next on the bill at the M. A. C. It is probable that instead of running off all of the contests at one time one or two evénts will be put on one night each week. Hans Wulff is to enter and should give Bob Newman a hot battle for the medal. Harry Kiener strained a ligament in his leg just before he went to New Or- leans for the National A. A. U. track championships. He intends to enter anyway. Tom Grace, a member of the ath- letic committee of the M. A. C., says that it is probable that the annual ten-mile National A. A. U. champion- ship swim in the Mississippi river next year will be held before Labor Day, as has been the custom for a number of years. For the past two years the event has drawn unfavora- are weather because of the lateness of t. It will be up to thé com- aittee to whether a change Tn 8 ates will be made.

NIT LETOWMERS: FIRE AN UMPIRE Says It’s Not Up to Magnates to Dictate. LYNCH DIFFERS FROM Bélieves League Head Should Pass on Ability of Indicator. Handlers. “When club owners of a baseball league decide to pass on the fitness or unfitness of the umpires, it is time for a change. An owner would stultify him- self were he to dictate how the um- pires should be handled and I do not think there is a single owner in the American League, at least, who would cheapen himself by interfering in either picking ar keeping the umpires. That function belongs tv the head of the League and if he 1sn’t able to handle such matters it is time for the owners to look for somebody else.’’ ‘The above was the comment of ‘Pres!- dent Ban B. Johnson of the American League regarding the suggestion made by the National League magnates that a@ majority of club owners could by @ majority vote, dismiss the indicator handlers on President Lynch’s staff. Americans Leave It to Ban. “The American League owners are a unit fn believing that the selection of umpires should be left to the head of the League,” President Johnson contin- ued, “and I would not work under any other arrangement. “T believe, and I think the majority of fans are with me when I say that baseball became much cleaner with the added authority of the umpires on the field and the fact that they were backed up in their decisions at all times. “Tf a club owner thought he had le- gitimate complaint on the work of some umpire he could appeal to the Board of Directors, but this has never been neces- sary with us. For the salvation of the game, the umpire must be backed up. If he is incompetent it is up to the League executive, to let him go, but it would mean chaos in baseball were the owners to have the say as to what con- ‘In the heat of the battle an owner of manager might think he was getting the worst of it, when on more mature reflections he might want to change his mind.” ——_¢——_—

The wrestlers of the. Chicago and fillinols universities will meet in a ee in Chicago in April. According to a report from Richmond, Ind., Howard Jones will do no more Mm the athletic line. He was thought to be a probable successor to Ted Coy as head coach of Yale, + Frank Cavanaugh is Dartmouth’s new coach. He played on Dartmouth In 1899, being a star end. Joe Buzick, star flinger on the Iilinots U. baseball team last seagon, wii: have 4 taste of the big league: next year. He has signed up with the Boston Red Sox.

Dauny Hoffman Heard From. Danny Hoffman, one of the Browns’ flychasers, dropped. down to New York from his home in Bridgeport, Conn., tor the big league meetings last week. Dan noised it around that he expected to be relegated to some minor league team. He said he still had a couple of years major league play left in him, but couldn’t get it out In St. Louis.

That the average Salalah be- leves that the success of hig team depends chiefly on the effective- ness of his pitchers, is shown by the fact that twice the number of twirlers are carried nowadays than was the case In 185. Then three or four first-class pitchers were sufficient, whereas nowadays «a major league team is not consid- ered well equipped unless seven or eight slab men are on the payroll.

Trouble Arose When Wife Would Not Sign Papers. ‘The Rev. Dr. Walter H. Bradley, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian Church in Upper Alton, and president of Blackburn College at Carlinville, Til., a theological seminary, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday that he intended to contest his wife’s divorce suit, in which she charges ‘ithat he entertained women at their home in her absence, and was attentive to Mrs. ‘Minnie Ellis, one of his choir sing- ers. She charges him also with cruelty. ‘“‘Making charges is a different thing froni proving them,” said the minister. “My wife has accused me, in personal conversations, of being attentive to 16} | different women, with only a few of whom I have even a bowing acquaint- ance. “My relations with Mrs. Ellis have been closer than’ with other members of the congregation, because when she left her husband in Los Angeles in 1902 and brought her two. children back to Alton, she consulted me as to her course of procedure, and has consulted me often since then. Our relations have been al- Ways those of pastor and parishioner. “Mrs. Bradley and I separated legally last July 19. Papers were drawn up dividing the property. That is why she does not ask-for alimony. It is-untrue that I ever was unkind to her or that 1 ever laid a hand on her in harshness. “I have retained lawyers at lin- ville, and expect to contest the with a cross-bill for divorce. I have not yet decided what charges I will bring. Trouble a Year Old. “The difficulty .between Mrs. Bradley and ‘me began a year ago, when my mother died. I had never inquired about my wife's , and I told her noth- ing about mine. There had been some} sensitiveness about that since she ac- cused me of marrying her for her money, and said that I went to Ed- wardsville before the md@rriage to look her up in the tax books. “So after my mother died and left me some property I sent the papers to my wife to sign, without an explanation. She was then in the West. She sent the papers back without signing them, and said that unless I could trust her with details about the estate she would not sign them. I reminded her that she} had never confided in me about her own money, and sent the papers back. “My wife returned with the papers in her trunk, and would not sign them. It was the quarrels over this which ultimately led to our separation.” Graduate of Princeton, The Rev. Dr. Bradley is a graduate of, the theological department of Prince- ton University. He is 45 years old, and his wife is 42. Mrs. Ellis Is 30. She said the preather had been a friend to. her and her chil- dren for years, but: that he had been no more than that. “It is sufficient answer to these ab- surd charges,’’ she said, “to tell you that I am a singer in the Presbyterian choir and the president of the Christian En- deavor Society in the church.”’ Mrs. Bradley, who was Miss Caroline Schiess, daughter of a North Alton meat packer, is a woman of means. She is at the Schiess home in North Alton, un- der the care of a physician for nervous trouble, and could not be reen. DENTIST SUING COMPLAINS ‘ OF HIS WIFE'S TEMPER Also Says That She Has Nag- ging Tendencies When They Are Alone. An ungovernable temper, neglect of household duties and habitual nagging tendencies of his wife are allegations urged by Dr. C. W. Kennerly, a dentist, in his suit for divorce filed Monday against Mrs. Hazel Kennerly. The peti- tion states that Mrs. Kennerly left home Nov. 29, and is now living with her aunt, Mrs. J. C. Mansfie ld, at 5688 Maple ave- nue. The Kennerlys were married Sept. &

ed the dentist's dental work done. Dr. Kennerly livés at 1278 Delaware avenue, and has offices in the Mermod & Jaccard Building. Dr. Kennerly alleges.that his wife was amiable in the presence of others, but was not pleasant when they were alone at home. He alleges that his wife was time, and

5, ac-’ "WEN ON THE Lack of- Snow Over Winter F Belt Causes Talk of Crop Damage. 4 Traders were inclined to favor the bull side of wheat today on continued reports of dry weather over the winter wheat area. A further decrease in the European visible supply, making 5,640,- 000 bu in the past two weeks, was also a bullish influence. Chicago reported the bendlos interests in the trade bullish and long a heavy line of wheat, at much higher prices. All efforts to liquidate it have been futile so far, but the holders express confidence of ultimately making a mar- ket. Dry weather seems to be’ their only card at present, as the statisti- cal position of the market remains weak. Liverpool was ie a factor in our markets, opening steady on American advices and then declining on increased Australian and Argentine offers at lower prices. The United Kingdom and France re- ported. less faveyrable conditions, put weather and crop advices from the Ar- gentine, ; All export wheat markets are quiet and under the market.

In the course of an extensive article on the United Railways of St. Louis, Financial America, a ‘Wall street pub- lication, says: “Gross earnings of the United for the 12 months to end Dec. 31 next will be the largest in the history of the organ- ization, although the net will not es- tablish a new high record. It will be recalled that in 1904 (the World’s Fair

year) the company’s net earnings were | about $4,226,000, or about $200,000 in ex- cess of the probable amount for 1910. The showing in that year also is ithe more noteworthy, especially as the net showing was scored in the face of gross revenues amounting to only about $9,- 900,000. Dividends on the preferred issue have been paid for a number of years past, notwithstanding the fact that during the past decade deficite have been sustained in a number of fiscal periods. In 1900 a loss, after dividends deductions, of more than $1,600,000 ‘was sustained. In each of the three subsequent -years, also, de- ficits were suffered yearly. Since that time, however, yearly surplus earnings have been scored, ‘Interests familiar with affairs of the property say that its outlook is favor- able in many respects, although there are certain elements in connection with operations that are not satisfactory. It is hoped, however, that with the wiping out of the floating debt that a much petter showing will be exhibited by the company in the future. The City of St. Louis is growing is every reason for believing that with proper management future earnings should continue to grow. “Last year the road carried 221,400,000 revenue passengers and issued about 104,600,000 transfers, the. percentage of paseengers using transfers being the largest in its history—44.%5 per cent. Therefore, the average fare received per passenger was but 3.4, the smallest amount thatehas been received during any of the past 10 years.” ember. 1% ,470,108; 196 Expenses,
