ROYALS WIN FIRST
BOWLING MONEY
BrOadways Lose To r. ]. Rs. and
Give Up Chance to Tie
For First.

BY defeating the Broadways two
games out Of three last night, the r. j.
RS sewed up the bowling champion
ship Of the Cape league for the Roy
ais, who now stand at the head of the
league with 26 games won. Next
Friday night, the members Of the
ROYALS team will collect SIS from the
secretary of the league as the first
money.
Louis WittmOr, member Of the r.
]. r. team virtually has a corner on
the first money for the individual
bowling. He has a season average OF
III and his closest competitor is F.
McClintock with 1874. McClintock's
title to the second money in the indi-
vidual class has been questioned also
on account Of the fact that he has
rolled only six match games of three
divisions each, whereas the officials OF
the league are cOntending that tbs
competitor in order to be eligible fol
any of the individual prizes must IN
der the rules have rolled in eight
matches or an equivalent of "a games
The Broadways last night had Z
handicap Of 3 pins game from the r
J. RS and in the last two games OF
the series were virtually swamped
The first game of the series was wor
by the Broadways by a score Of III
to 729. The two teams showed &
marked reversal in form in the SECOND
contest, however, and the F. J. r.
walked away from the Broadways.
No one starred in last nights per,
Torrance. Not man got mis- score W
to the 500 mark. L. l.. Tuck scored
400, the highest man on the floor. His
average was brought up by 4 score OF
100 made in the last game.
The score and line up was as fol.
lows:

Breide of 124 North Spanish street,
who was made an officer in the U. S.
Army Signal Corps, several weeks

station at Washington and likewise

which his father has received.

In the division of the league purses
among the teams, the first team will
get SIS; second, SO; third $3.50;
fourth, s..
The prizes for individuals are as fol-
lows: first, 81; second, $3.50; third, g.;
fourth, $3.50; fifth and sixth, 50; sew
enth and eighth, $50; ninth and
tenth, 81.
The highest series of three games
wins a prize of $3.50 and the highest
single game wins a prize OF 81.
c. Shawan virtually mas the prize
for the highest single game in the
tournament play, nailed down with a
score of 245, which none has ap-
preached. McClintock claims the
honor of the high three games, but
again ne is in danger of being dis
qualified on account of the number of
games he has rolled in the tourna-
ment.

ST. Louis VOTES TO
SECRECATE NEGROES
Question To Be Taken To The
United States Supreme
Court For Decision.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
St. Louis, Feb. 29.-The ordinance,
providing for the segregation of the
negroes in separate blocks from the
whites of ST. Louis was voted on here
today and carried by a vote of three
to one, the unofficial returns from 4
majority of the precincts indicated to-
night. The total vote cast was about
10000, which was far below normal.
Two ordinances We're voted upon,
one providing that white person or q
negro cannot become a resident in a
block occupied entirely by those of op-
posite race. The other imposes the
same restrictions on blocks where
seventy-fve pc recent of one race live.
The ordinances become effective in
ten days unless an injunction is ap-
piled for, which is almost certainty.
The opponents of the ordinances say
they will carry the matter to the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
which has never passed upon the ques-
ton involved.
The election was unusually quiet.
One hundred and thirty-fve challeng-
ers who appeared at various polling
places for the anti-segregationists
were disqualified.
Every daily newspaper in St. Louis,
except The Republic, which is the
Democratic organ in this city, opposed
the segregation scheme, and it was be-
lieved that the ordinances would be
defeated. The small vote came as a
surprise to the opponents of segrega-
ticn.

ment for settlement, which already

day afternoon at a conference between
Harry z. Alexander. counsel for 3. c.
Moore, Oliver & Oliver, attorneys for
the executor J. l.. Moore and the 9th
er heirs.
Negotiations for the settlement Of
the difficulty between the members of
he Moore family have been pending
Tor several days, since Moore first an
nounced that he would file a suit to
break his fathers will. BY yesterday
afternoon, the heirs on their part had
made an offer to Mr.. MoOre's attorney
for settlement and Mr.. Moore had like
wise made an offer for Which he would
withdraw any further claim in the es-
cate of his father.
At the conference, the two sides
split the difference between the two
offers and settled on $1,000 cash.

tanned. The liabilities Of the estate,

C. Moore, the other heirs and execu-
tor will continue to administer the es-
tate.
In the petition that was filed in

asserted that the will probated was
not his fathers last will, and he
claimed that undue influence had been
brought to bear upon his father when
the will was being drafted and he was
cut off.

cred wealthy. ]. L. Moore, and his
father, prior to lis death, were almost

duly elected representatives to the

that the voting restriction az the

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

is the average quantity in a healthy
adult, but it is the quality Of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion 10 study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals. because Scots
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality Of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When mulutudes of people are to-
day taking Scott's Emulsion to avert

their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.
