TOO CONFIDENT OF ABILITY.
Chicago Bartender Changed Mind
After Making Brag.

I'm from Chicago. and can whip any
two policemen in st. Louis
With this remark. Fred schaedler. bar
tender in the saloon at No. 1126 Cass ave-
nue., waded into Patrolmen Dwyer and
Stuart Of the Fourth District early yes
terday morning. But when the st. Louis
policemen had finished with him he had
changed his mind as to his ability to
whip st. Louis patrolmen. In fact. he
found that Policeman Dwyer alone was
more than his match.
The patrolmen were attracted to the sa-
loon by three shots. They found schaed-
Ter standing at the door. and asked him
who had fired the shots. He became
abusive. and the policemen told him that
he was under arrest.
Then it was that he made his brag about
his ability to whip two policemen: He
struck Dwyer In the face. In rapid ex-
change Of blows Schaedler was severely
beaten. and the attention of City Dispen-
sary physicians was necessary: Patrol
man Dwyer broke one OF his fingers IN
landing on the bartender's jaw.

Chairman.
AS many Of the committeeman have
made encouraging reports of the progress
of their subcommittee. it is expected that
the fund now in the hands OF Treasurer
Morgan viii be more than doubled by the
lists turned in to-day. The sum set as the
probable contribution of St. Louis to the
fund is 1900. and 1t is expected that this
amount will soon be reached
Few of the committees appointed by
President ktngsland of the Manufactur-
ers' Association have yet made partial re-
ports OF their progress. but those that have
were received have led to the expectation
that the fund of this organization will be
representative of its membership.
The committee appointed to see the
]. Harbough and ". n Woodward. sent in
their list yesterday with total of $50. 30.
The work of this one subcommittee, II
equaled by all the others. will make the
Manufacturers Association subscription
second to none.
The Mercantile Trust Company. by TAX
ing the lead in the movement among the
financial institutions of the city and sub
scribing sl4s has stimulated the other
trust companies and banks. and it is ex-
pected that the fund will receive large add
ditions from this branch Of the city's bust
ness.
The name Missouri not only appeals to
those who are still her citizens but to
those who have left her soil for other
the past that are potent, as will be seen by
the following letter from Captain Robert
McCulloch. former general manager Of the
Chicago syndicate" street railway lines In
st. Louis:

ROBERT McCt'LLOcH.
Throughout the State the subscription
liats started by the Mayors are rapidly APP,
preaching completion. and from reports
received 1t is thought that each and every
one OF the 300 towns and more will send in
ting contributions to the fund.

IAN ENORMOUS BUILDING
10 Covers Twcnty-Thrce Acres and
In Its Construction fS,"uO.oOO
Feet of LusMber IL Bcimg Used.

st. Louis. Sept 29.-!ierry w. Schlue'
ter, the Chicago contractor who has
charge of the construction OF the
transportation building at the Worlds
fair. says:
II will have the roof over the Trans.
portation building by October 4, as my
contract calls for. and the building. ex.
terror and interior. will be completed
November L."
Mr. Schleuter has prepared some in
teresting statistics relative to the
Transportation building. IL will cover
more acreage than any building in tht
world its area being % acres. 1t will
be 1900 feet in length and 325 feet In
width, and the contract price $962,O0O
II will contain u railroad tracks ex-
tending the entire length Of the build
ing.
In its construction IL 900. 900 feet Of
lumber will be used. This is 4,OOO.O
feet in excess Of the lumber that vii
be used In any other Of the Worlds
fair buildings.
In the construction the nails USED
will weigh over thirty tons. The pill
ing, II stretched in a straight line
would measure 30 miles.
The bolts and rods used in the CON
struction will weigh IL 900 tons.
The holes bored for bolts, rods and
grin pins. If placed side by side, would
reach from ST. Louis to New York.
Mr.. Sckieuter has the contract for
building the Temple of Fraternity at
the Worlds fair He has many other
interests in st. Louis.
The st. Louis fair" said Mr.. Schlue-
ter, will far surpass the Chicago expo
sition. The st. Louis fair, in my opin
ion, will be greater than all the inter-
national expositions combined. The
buildings will be larger and more sub
stantal, and the exhibitions will be
more complete
1.-The fair officials are doing business
on an extraordinary large scale. Why,
when the specifications for the large
buildings were first submitted to the
contractors of the country the men
who were endeavoring 10 get the work
Of construction were absolutely
amazed.
1.-The specifications exceeded their
expectations to such an extent thar
every contractor who entered into COM
petition for the Worlds fair work had
20 throw away his estimates and be-
gin all over.
The size and substantial nature Of
the buildings contemplated by the fair
officials were beyond the comprehen-
sion OF the contractors"
