 Harvey c. Clark of Nevada, Mo, is the cause of all my trouble and mis- cry, and my blood is upon his head for getting my wife to go to Eldorado Springs, Mo-, and sue me for divorce last Nov. &, 1909, and marry her Dec. s, 1909, just four days after his wife was divorced from him at Carthage, Mo, Clark being my wife's attorney in the case and an old sweetheart ot Mrs. Kennon. His guilty conscience will kill him, never fear And now he wants to take my little boy, Ed ward, from me.
 ROBERT T. KENYON"
 Was Married to Miss De Armond.
 Brig. Gen. Clark's first wife is the daughter of Congressman David A. De Amond, who was burned to death with his grandson at his home in But Ter, Mo, November 23, 1909.
 The coroner is in possession of four other notes which Kennon wrote. One ic nl1 nI II,,. ~ . Nevada, Mo. The others are to John Parcell, manager of the Terminal ho- tel; H. B. Kennon of Evansville, H., brother, and H. R. Ohlsen, secretary and treasurer of the Sickles Saddlery company of St. Louis, for which Ken non had traveled for 30 years. As yet none of these letters has been opened
 Kennon, who was 43 years old, came to St. Louis five days ago, registering at the Terminal hotel. He appeared troubled over habeas corpus suit that was to be tried at Nevada, Mo, for the possession of his son, Edward
 Kennon had had some difficulty To- eating his attorney, who lives at Springfield, Mo, and had expressed his fear that he would lose his son at the hearing.
 Photos of Former Wife.
 On the dresser near the five notes were photos of his former wife and his son. The coroner noted that Ken non had exercised care in putting away his clothes.
 Secretary-Treasurer Ohlsen of the concern which employed Kennon, de clared he had seen letters Mrs. Ken non wrote the salesman before she procured divorce In them, Ohlsen said Mrs. Kennon declared she still loved Kennon but that Clark exer- cised an influence over her
 Ohlsen declared that Kennon was one of the finest characters attached to his concern and that he had wor- shiped his wife.

He formerly lived at Butler, Mo, where he married the daughter of Congressman De Armond, who for years was one of the foremost mem- bers of the national house of repre- sentatives.

cense to a corporation to do any
thing which that statute aims to pre-
vent. Moreover, federal incorpora-
ton would not be compulsory. The
enterprises which prefer to work
under their present charters would
not be interfered with by the gov
eminent if they kept In harmony
with The existing statute.
Nothing revolutionary can be read
into any of the presidents recon-
mendations. For reasons which Will
suggest themselves to most persons
the president urged no material
changes in the antitrust statute. In
the cases of the American Tobacco
Company and the Standard Oil COM
pany that law is before the supreme
court for Interpretation on various
points, and until the court speaks
the exact scope of the law can not be
learned. All the legislation which
he suggests would merely supple
ment and simplify that enactment.
On the interstate commerce question
however, the changes which he urges
are numerous and important. Some
of them will arouse opposition from
the railways. The prohibition of
the purchase of stock by roads in
competing lines, and the prevention
of the overissue of stock, will be
fought by some of the railway chiefs.
On their face, however, these restric-
tions seem to be in the interest Of
stockholders and of the general pub
lie. Through the purchases Of stock
in competing roads monopolies have
been created and restraints have
been imposed upon trade such as are
forbidden by the Sherman act. The
proposed barrier against overissue
of shares is directed against the
stock watering which has injured
the owners of stocks, and which has
placed heavy burdens on shippers
and the people in general by the
heavy charges for services which the
roads have found it necessary to
make. Unless some danger may
lurk in the shadow which the aver.
age reader can not gee, the sugges-
lions by the president contain moth
ing to which the railways ought to
seriously object. Wall street yester-
day, after careful perusal, saw moth
ing dangerous in the message. All
the suggestions have appeared in the
gossip from Washington of the past
few weeks. No surprises are sprung
upon the country. Nobody can tell
off-hand how much or how little of
the presidents programme will get
into the statutes, but all of it will
get careful consideration by congress
and during this consideration every
interest will get hearing.

THE HOUSE REVOLT.

Speaking Of the republican revolt
| in the house whereby Speaker Can
non was deprived of the direct pow
err of appointing the members of the
Ballinger investigating committee
the Washington Star says that such
action does not necessarily assure
| the democratic minority or the Sc
ceding republican faction the pow
er to name them. If this combina-
ton can hold together long enough
to caucus and agree upon slate,
and then vote it through the house,
it will have carried its dominion
over the house to the point of &C.
tual power in the conduct of affairs.
But if the allies can not thus agree
their victory. will have been of short
life, and will be merely demon
stration of personal hostility to the
speaker, for in all likelihood the re-
publican organization will on the
next test reassert itself as the house
and will choose as the members to
conduct the investigation the same
men as would have been selected by
the speaker, if the appointment had
been left to him.
The revolt against Cannon is but
the natural sequence of events.
There is really more opposition to
the speaker than Is shown by the
vote from time to time on propo-
sitions of procedure IN the house.
Cannon is not the diplomat that
Speaker Reed was, and Reed was the
Gear of his time. Cannon assumes
not only an attitude of defiance but
of viciousness. He abuses, by word
and act, those who differ with and
criticize his autocratic manner.
That Gear methods are, in a degree,
necessary, in the conduct of the pro.
ceedings of the house, that other
wise that body would, on the least
provocation, degenerate for the time
being, into a mob-a senseless rab.
ble-is conceded by all we'll inform.
ed observers of the actual workings
of large bodies in a popular form of
government, with free speech and
unlimited debate. There must be
cloture rules and means of facilita-
ting the vast amount of business
before the house. There must be q
sitting Of measures and a program
of action and centralized power, and
the deposing of Cannon will simply
mean the installation of another
autocrat, possibly better, possibly
worse than Cannon.
But all political cars have their
day, are necessary, fulfill their des-
tiny and depart.

Theoretically, the difference be-
tween amateur and professional ath-
letes is vast; but when you come
down to copper rivets, it isn't. Once
the glory hunter regarded himself
as the gentleman, and looked upon
the pro as sort of hired hand.
But it's changed now. The shekel
hunters are men of caliber too
large for anyone to look down upon,
and the distance between the men
in sport for sports sake and those
in it for what they can get is not
noticeable.
Many who have made good in pro-
fessional sport have accumulated
wealth and have reached a position
of prominence because of their abil-
ity to command big money for their
services.
For Ia years Hans Wagner has
been playing ball. His first contract
was for $35 month Now he gets
what he asks for, and it is not less
than $4,000 for seven months. He
has drawn this for years, and is
worth 100000. A circus he owns
is expected to do big business be-
cause Hans the idol owns it.
John MeGraw of the Giants gets
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year.
He is advertised every day in the
papers, and a billiard hall he opened
in New York has been a bonanza
from the start. McGraw began base
ball where they all begin, and went
to the top through sheer ability.
John King saved $4,000 from his
salary and invested it in Kansas
City real estate. Also he opened a

sold for 100000 and the pool room,
with King as an added attraction,
profits him $4,000 year.
