ant part of the trial of Harry K. Thaw,
is preparing to u he haW Iarnlly Ior
his services.
The suit which will be for between
Sc, 1000 and $1,000, will probably be fol-
lowed by similar proceedings on the

"GO WEST" NOT BY
GREELY, AFTER ALL

Terre Haute, Oct. 22.-m the files Of
ihe dc Terre Haute Express has been
found a story of the origin of the ex-
preston commonly attributed to Hor-
ace Greedy: go west, young man, GO
west" This says it was written by
John L. B.. Soule, editor. as the result
Of a bet that an editorial could be
written in the Greedy style which would
pass for one OF his own.
The editorial began with the express
sion quoted and further along Smith
was said to intimate that Greedy had
used 1t. The slogan went over the
country as coming from the New York
editor. and finally the New York Trib-
une said: The expression OF the SEN
timent has been attributed to the edi-
tor of the Tribune enormously, but go
fully does he concur in the advice it
gives hat he Endorses most heartily
the epigrammatic words of the Terre
Haute Express II joins in saying. Go
west, young man, go west"

TELL COLLEGE GIRLS,
LEARN D~RESSMAKlNG

Philadelphia, Oct. 22.-College girls
should be taught to wash dishes as
well as write abstruse theses. They
should learn to a a cook book as
we'll as Browning, and not be too I'm
tellectual to take part in the domestic
scramble when the maid Vanishes or
the jewel OF a cook gives notice.
This was one Of the solutions sug-
gested for the servant girl problem at
D meeting OF the Woman's club. a.,
Because of the all-absorbing and
ever-increasing field for Investigation
along the lines OF domestic employ
ment, the women who constitute the
Club are going to attack the servant
question this winter and see IL some
thing can't be o to ameliorate the
unhappy lot OF the mistress and maid.
I'VE must approach this thing fair
ly," said Dr. Rachel Skidelsky, and
not put all the blame on the maid.
Many housekeepers are to blame. They
are not domesticated, and don't know
how to manage servants. Their houses
are run in a slouchy manner, Just be-
cause there Is no n at the head OF
things. We should concentrate our
thoughts on two points, which may
help to a solution. One Is to train
our young girls not to despise house
work, and regard it as drudgery, and
che other Is to establish schools OF do
mestic science for servants"

Circuit Attorney Sager Will Now TurI

st. Louis, Oct. 23.-Thnt st. Louis,
bnce cleaned by Joe Folk, has returned
to political corruption, is shown by.
five marked 800 bills given by CirN
cult Attorney Sager to Henry Ascher,
of SOIL Delmar boulevard, that were the,
bait in a trap set for Delegate Ferd
Warner. OF the Second ward, and Del
cgate F. w. Priesmeyer, of the FirsA
hearing before Judge Rodgers on in
dictments charging them with bribery.
The indictments followed their arrests
in the chamber of the house within
fifteen minutes after the marked bills
in an envelope, so 1t is charged, had
been passed to Delegate Priesmeyer
in the Mushroom in the north end OF
the corridor on the second floor Of the
city hall.
The grand jury, under the direction
of Circuit Attorney Sager, will now
devote its entire time to investigating
the house of delegates In connection
with the delays of the asphalt paving
bills, the bill for a public utilities COM
mission and other important legisla-
ton.
Sager has been planning for weeks
to catch Warner, who is chairman of
the public improvements committee of
the house, and has the power as one
OF the leaders Of the combine, to kill
or pass any bill referred to his com
mittee.
Warner and Priesmeyer were ar
rested Immediately after a bill granting
Ascher the right to build and main
tain a garage on the rear Of SOIL Del
mar boulevard had been reported out
OF the public Improvement committee
n passed.
Aseher Tells the Story.
They were conducted to Tic circuit
attorneys Office and ushered into the
grand jury room. Ascher had preceded
them and had related to the grand
jury the details leading up to the cli-
max in the house of delegates chamber.
Ascher a constructed the garage
without having first obtained the nee
essary ordinance n authority from
the building commissioners. A suit
had been filed against him in the po-
lice court for violation OF city ordin-
ances. Six weeks ago he caused an or
dinance to be introduced granting him
the authority to erect and maintain
the garage. This was referred to the
public improvements committee, wherel
1T was held up for several weeks. ;
Used the Marked Bills. ,
Ascher, finding that he could not get
the bill passed by the ordinary meth
DDS, entered into negotiations with,
Chairman Warner. These negotiations
reached a point where Ascher went
to the circuit attorneys Office and ret
ceived from Circuit Attorney Sager
FIVE marked 500 bills in a sealed en-
velope.
