FRANK O'NEIL DEAD. Noted Newspaper Man Passes Away iR
 gt. E0ufa.

gt Louis Mo-, Jan. 27.--Frank R. O'NeiI, vice-President of the Pulitzer Publishing Company and assistant manager of The Post Dispatch, died to- day at his home here of pneumonia His long career in journalism made him widely known and brought him into contact with all men and officials who have made history in this city and state in the past thirty years.
 Although Mir. O'Neil occupied many executive positions In the. newspapers history, he delighted in constantly as- serting that he was a reporter. His feats in that capacity. while actually q reporter, in earlier days, and contin- uing even after he had assumed an executive place, are we'll known his- tory in newspaper work. Probably the most prominent instance was his search for J. K. Murrel a fugitive member of the House of Delegates. whom he found in Mexico and induced to return to St. Louis and divulge his knowledge of the boodling transac- tions in the municipal body. It Is con- ceded that Murrel's confession to Cir- cult Attorney Folk, now Governor. made possible the many convictions ob- tatned.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT MEETS
 RAILROAD VICE PRESIDENTS

Washington, Jan, 27--The operating presidents of many of \the large railroads of the country were received by President Roosevelt today and pre- sented a request that in executing what 1t ig known as the commodity amend ment of the railroad rate law, but one case be brought against the roads by the government, this case to be finally disposed of by the Supreme Court of the United States.
 This, if agreed to by the govern ment, would mean that the railroads owning coal producing properties. would not sell them by May l, next as required by the law, but could operate them as heretofore until the disposal of the test cases. The law in ques- ton is regarded by the roads as uncon- stitutional in that 1t requires the dis posal of property at what would be necessarily a sacrifice. The law Is also questioned on other grounds.
 The President referred to the rail- road men to the interstate commerce commission where 1t is understood the question will be fully discussed and report made to the President as to the legal possibility of carrying out the suggestion made.
 Those who participated in the com ference. beside the President were: C. R. Gray, of the Frisco road. who acted as chairman of the conference on the part of railroads; L. c. Rawn. Illi- noIs Central; F. c. Bucklan. New York, New Haven and Hartford; Fl. U. Nudge. Rock Island; D. Willard, Chicago. Bur lington and Quincy; w A. Garrett, York Central; W. A Gardner.

CUBS FOOD They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Hleathy babies don't cry and the well -nourished baby that Is fed on Grape Nuts, Is never crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food Grape Nuts, and get well.
 My little baby was given up py three doctors who said that the com densed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape Nuts, so I got some and prepared 1t as follows: I soaked 1-2 tablespoon fuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teas poonfrfls of rich milk, put in a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed 1t and gave 1t to baby every two hours.
 "In this simple, easy way I saved babys life and have built her up to a strong healthy child, rosy and laugh ing. The food must certainly be per feet to have such a wonderful effect as this. l can truthfully say I think 1t is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on and is also a delici- ous healthful food for grown-ups as we have discovered in our family"

 During the last year the national commission took up a number of re- quests from these players who were anxious for reinstatement. There was no hint even offered by the minors against the intentions of the commis- sion outside the protests offered py Mir. Pulliam's minority reports. Tn fact. Mir. Puiliam seemed to protect commission in two or the four cases acted upon.
 Finding every player who jumped his contract In cold blood reaching the commission with exaggerated stories, it looked for time as if the good work of two years previous would be nuIlf- fled. lt was then that James O'Rourke, valued member of the national board. presented hts famous resolution at the minor league convention at New York dissenting voice.
 There was nothing in the resolution to tale offense at. If a party of the second part has no say In the working or the national agreement, then Mir. Pulliam has good cause to feel offended when his attention was called to the o'Rourke resolution. The national agreement, however, gives the minors absolute power over their own organi- zatfon just as strongly as it gives the major leagues powers to do business.
