Kretschmar Is Indicted

AAAAAAAS SOANe
Herman kretohmar, his head
bowed, his lips twItching and his
knees trembling, was led from the
Police Headquarters HoIdover to the
Jail Wednesday In st. Louis and lock
edup there to await trial on charge
Of numbering Clarence N. Jones, who
had been hIs closest friend for 40
years. He Is a brother-In-Iaw Of
Mrs. kretehmar, who Is fre-
quent visitor in this city.
Kretchmar has been held without
bond since Feb. 8, when he shot and
killed Jones in the office of the
Commonwealth Feed Co., of which
Jones was president and Of which he,
Kretchmar, until short time before,
had been director.
His transfer to the Jail followed
the issuance by Judge Fisher Of a
bench warrant. The application for
this warrant was accompanied by a
written statement from the Circuit
Attorneys office that the grand jury
has voted on indictment charging him
with first degree Of murder.
Under the law the penalty for this
offense may be either hanging or i'm
prisonment for life, at the option of
the jury. Before the passage Of this
law, jury finding a defendant guilty
of murder in the first degree could
name only the death penalty in its
verdict.
Photographs Of the office OF the
Commonwealth Feed Co., at Second
and DeSoto streets, where the shoot
ing occurred, will play an important
part at Kretchmar's trial. The prose
cution will attempt to show by these
pictures, he, Kretchmar, did not shoe
in self-defense.
One Of the photographs shows the
chair in which Jones had been sitting
at his desk Just before the shooting.
1t is topled over, the theory Of the
State being, he, Jones, was sitting In
it, and fell backwards when the bull
let struck him.

THE TELEPHONE.

Some of us have heard the old folk
talk of the time when the railroad
first came to the town and OF their
first fearsome ride on the train. They
wondered at the novelty of what has
now become so commonplace and es.
sential. Just so will our children won
der when they hear us tell the story
of the telephone, of the first nervous
attempt made to use the then clumsy
and elaborate apparatus. The boys
and girls are growing up thinking Of
the telephone as constituting as es-
Genital a part Of life's equipment as
the daily papers or even the dinner
plate.
We use the telephone much more
commonly than the train or any other
great modern invention. "Under the
present administration Of the Bell
Telephone Company there has been
wrought complete revolution in the
public appreciation Of the instrument.
Whereas it used to be thing before
which we stood In awe, taking off our
hats, now it is q thoroughly demo.
cratic possession, a popular necessity.
The instrument hangs on your wall
or stands on your desk as a tiny door
that single motion on your part
swings open and puts you in the pres
ence Of whomsoeVer you choose out
thousands of people Of the city and
suburbs. This is the secret Of the
value of the telephone to you--not
that you have a box on the wall, but
that this box and instrument gives
you access to the telephone track that
goes to almost every home and indi-
vidual you may wish to reach.
The value of the telephone to the
subscriber can be measured only BY
the extent of the system.
During the year 1908, the number
of stations of the Missouri and Kan
sas Telephone Company increased
to near the 100000 mark, which, with
the large and fast swelling number
of sublicense stations. gives to The
Missouri and Kansas (Bell) Com
pany's subscribers and patrons close
to 236,0OO possible connections in the
two states.
In the country or in the City the
telephone is these days q necessity

While waiting in this city between
trains Thursday afternoon, Miss Elsa
Chandler, Of New Florence, lost her
purse containing 500. Later the mon
ey was returned by the Misses Ad-
ans. of the Planters Hotel, who foun
the sum.
Miss Chandler is a student OF
William Woods College, Fulton, and
was on her way to her school. She
arrived in this city on the Wabash
at 1854 and had to wait until 3
O'Clock for her train to Fulton. She
had 500 when she arrived here, but
did some shopping and had spent $40
of this amount. At the station she
dropped her purse containing the mon
ey. 1t was lucky for Miss Chandler
that her money was found by honest
persons and the Misses Adams are
to be commended In their efforts to
locate the owner.

Chieago 10 Sing Dixie

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Responding to
an inquiry from Philip Werlin, presi-
dent of the New Orleans Progressive
Union, as to the correctness of O
statement published there that the
president of the Chicago school board
had forbidden as reasonable the sing
ing of "Dixie" In the Lincoln eele-
bration in the public schools in city,
President Hall Of the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce gave emphatic
denial to the story and told the
Southerners that not only was Dixie
on the program but that president
Woodrow Wilson, Of Princeton, a
southerner, is to be the principal
speaker of the celebration, and other
prominent southerners will partiei-
pate in several of the meetings.
Lincoln and Dixie.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 10.-Jo-
seph Nimmo, Jr., one Of the few sur
viving close personal friends of Abra-
ham Lincoln, to-day took issue with
statement appearing in local paper
that President Schneider of Chicago
school board has forbidden singing Of
Dixie at the Lincoln centennial as
reasonable.
This, am prepared to deny from
my personal experience" said MINI
mo. early one morning in April,
1865, news reached Washington that
Richmond had been evacuated. There
was rush to the White House led
by band. l accompanied the crowd.
Soon Lincoln appeared at the win
dow over the front entrance. He re-
piled to the demand for speech. l
we'll remember his closing words
which were as follows:
Lincoln Called For "Dixle."
"There is a song, or tune, which
l used to hear with great pleasure be
fore the war, but our friends across
the river have appropriated it to their
use during the last four years. 1t is a
tune called Dixie" But I think we
have captured it. At any rate, con-
ferred with Attorney-general this
morning and he expressed the opin-
ion that "Dixie" may fairly be re-
garded as captured property. So
shall be glad to hear "Dixie," by the
band
ever since then Dixie has been
regarded as National air, beloved
by the people of north and south. TIL
tune of Dixie was composed by
Dan Emmett, northern man, who
wrote the words and the music. Fol
years before the war it was sung at
the north and at the south and 1t will
remain for all time truly q national
song, made so by good-natured humoi
of Abraham Lincoln"
