ST. L0UISANS REST AGAIN

LOOK OUT AT MIGHT.
John Lawrence brady, sack, the
Stubber.' Betrayed ~ . Won.
an and C~0nfcsses.

st. Louis. Feb. 12.-With Jack, the
Stabber," behind the bars, the women
o. st. Louis are breathing easier after
three weeks Of uncertainty as to wheth-
er Or not they would be stabbed IL per-
chance they ventured out after dark.
Following the arrest and confession
or John Lawrence Brady, Saturday,
That 1t was he who stabbed IA women
on the downtown streets OF st. Louis
on the night OF January 20 last, and
that he also stabbed Miss Adele Fiaher-
ty at Ninth and Washington avenue q
week before, his mother declared that
his crime was the result of a prenatal
influence.
Il am positive that an attack I suf-
Tered affected my son and caused him to
stab these women" said Mrs. Brady.
Brady Is an unemployed restaurant
worker, % yea, old. His confession
was made to Chief Desmond after q Sc
we're cross-examination. But he could
give no reason why he should attack
women with a knife.
II was seized with an impulse" said
Brady. Il couldn't help it, and I don't
know why I did It,"
Three employees Of the Richard Han
Ion Millinery Co., who had previously
captured and released Brady, and a half
dozen victims. identified the prisoner
as the man who did the stabbing.
These identifcations, however, we're
unnecessary, for after Brady had talked
privately for five minutes to Chief Des-
mond he made a full and free confession,
which was taken down in shorthand,
ar1, when transcribed. was signed by
Brady as being correct.
Brady's boast to Mrs. Lesia Gray. a
woman he visited occasionally, that he
had escaped from his captcrs, on the
night Of January %, led to his arrest
when he visited Mrs. Gray's house early
Saturday.
The woman notified the police and
they took him. There was 500 reward
for information leading to his
arrest.

Good-scasonable weather Has

New York, Feb. 10.-Bradstreet'o
weekly review says:
Reports as to spring jobbing trade
are very favorable, and the more
seasonable weather has stimulated
some lines Of trade. Shipments Of
finished products of manufacture are
OF enormous volume and mills are stir
pushed to fill orders previously booked.
Railroad earning returns indicate that
January was the most active ever ex-
perienced by the companies, gross re-
ceipts showing a gain of 20 per cent.
over January last year, a. very active
period likewise. Reports as to winter
wheat are satisfactory as a whole.
Against these favorable features are
to be cited the disquieting influences
oil predictions and preparations for q
general coal strike. possibly involving
100000 men 1t Is to be noted that the,

NO LIEUTENANT GENERAL
The Effect Of jumping Cen. Bell
Over Several Onicers Of su.
periOP Rank.

Washington, Feb. S.-Congress is
ready to adopt the view that the rank
of lieuterant-general Of the army is
made useless by the action of the pres
idcnt in deciding to appoint a major
general Of Junior rank as chief Of staff
and place him at the head of the army
establishment. 1t was decided by the
house committee on appropriations that
the pay of lieutenant general would no
be provided in the coming appropriation
bill.
This action Is the direct outgrowth
OF the decision to promote Gen. J..
Franklin Bell to the head of the gen.
eral staff. where five major generals
and a lieutenant general, all senior. to
him, will report to him.

hearing in the case of Johann Hoch,
