The Industrial Worker hasn't got much use for the minimum wage as a principle, because if every person is paid minimum wages, prices rise to equalize matters and there is no benefit derived therefrom.
 But as a means of locally raising wages it is not be despised even once in a while.
 A merchant in Milwaukee last October aired his views in opposi- tion to the minimum wage. And it is always safe to gamble on a pro- position being beneficial to some women when their employeres de- nounce it. Because it is beneficial is the reason for the denunciation. This man asked: 'The law says that no woman shall receive less than $9 a week, but what becomes of those who through ineXperience cannot earn more than three-fourtha of the minimum wage? The mer- chants are willing to pay a fair wage but the law is their handi. cap?
 | This man is not informed. He knows very we'll that in the first place it is not the merchant Jha! will ray the woman her wages, OK cept indirectly. The wages ar, fur nlshed by consumers who pass them over to the merchant and the latter after taking what is above the mi. nimum, sits down and wri .es up tif payroll. When therefore the mini mum is higher than they used te pay, they add little something tc the commodity they handle, and il this way recoup themselves.
 The kick against reform legisla tion is because the employers dc this. The little business man has ! discovered that he is made to pay in increased prices for commodities the minimum wage that hls D.. gressiveness passed into law; his his taxes are increased to arrange for compensation and insurance commissions, aud that's why tht progressive party is dead as a dool nail The footing of the bills |. consumers and smaller fry icf all their folderol reforms, is making them bellyache quite bit, and they are turning to the older parties which have abandoned such reforms

Two cases of interest wherein ca pital crime figured with consequent different endings are worth consid- ering. This is the Frank case and the Hillstrom case.
 The evidence fiimsy as it was in the Frank case, was much stronger than in the Hillstrom case; al though in both it was broadly cir cumstantial. The case against Hill strom presented many similar fea- lures to the case against Frank there was a hue and cry for the lives of both
 In the Hillstrom case the records of the preliminary hearing were either altered or obliterated. In the fFtank ease eae of the leldine witnesses contradictcd his original statement
 There the similarity ends. In the Frank case there was unlimited money for the defense. In the Fran', case sleuths were employed to work up cases against witnesses and against officials conducting the prosecution. Money was spent like water to save him. In the Hillstrom case he conduct. ed and conducted badly his owr | dt cense. becau:r the lawyers as signed him were unskilled anc only half hearted. He was sen fenced to die and sentiment was carefully worked up to secure hi' death sentence and to approve hi' death sentence not only in Utah bu all over the country. Almost til believable stories were circulated about him, and found their way into papers thousands of miles iron | Utah.
 Efforts to secure his pardon were confined absolutely to the working classes, and the Governor, stronSl, prejudiced against him, declined t. listen to anything; refused to par don or reprieve him. Franz counsel's law partner was governo and pardoned him.
 Frank was a capitalist az use of assaulting and murdering four teen year old girl employee. Hill
 strom was accused of being ruh Der who was also an I. w. w wn also shot down two men wholi h

 The ending in both instances full of interesting and suggestiv

 as suggestive?

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
No Concession in Passport Questio

No Concession in Passport Question.
That the Russian Government is
determined not to make any conces-
sions in the question of the recogni-
ton Of the American passport in
Russia has been made clear by
statement issued last Saturday in
Petrograd by ex-Premier Kokovtsey.
He declared that if America wishes
to enter into treaty relations with
Russia it must do so without any
stipulations and without any ex-
pectations that exceptions will be
made in the case of Jewish citizens.
Such treaty will not be made now,
but whenever it is made it will have
to confine itself entirely to CONNER
cial problems and exclude any ques-
ton that has to do with Russia's in
terror policy.
The ex-Premier declared that he
was not an anti-Semite, that his pub
lie record will show that he was free
from any such prejudice. lie also
was, he said, a great admirer of
America and was DESTROYS to see
American capital come into Rus
STA and develop its industries.
America must, however, remem-
Der that Russia will under no con-
ditions take orders from an outside
power regarding its relations with
it's own subjects. If America desir-
ed to have a treaty with Russia it
must proceed in this matter exactly
the same as other powers have done,
without meddling in internal affairs.
Germany was shrewd enough to see
this and withheld from interfering
with the internal policies of Russia,
and thereby gained control of Rus
sian industries and manufacture, SO
that it nearly had monopoly of it.

"MAYOR" DENNIS.
STEURENRAUCH.
OF HAARIG, DEAD.
Daughter in Cape Gets Word
of Sudden Death in
st. Louis.
HIS PLACE WAS KNOWN
IN 2O0-MILE RADIUS
Body Probably Will be Brought
to Cape for Burial
Sister Here.

Dennis Steubenrauch, whose saloon
in Haarig years ago was known for
a distance of 200 miles around, died
suddenly in st. Louis yesterday, ac-
cOrding to word received in the Cape
yesterday afternoon by MS daughter
Mrs. Annie Hagen.
The message, received by telegraph,
was very brief and meager concern
ing the facts. Arrangements for the
funeral mad not been made last night,
but Mr.. Steubenrauch's relatives and
friends plan to have the body brought
to the Cape for burial.
Mr.. Steubenrauch was probably the
best known man in Haarig for many
years and his place became historic.
He conducted his saloon in the build
ing now occupied by the Cofer cloth
ing store.
He has been gone from the Cape
for about six years and until recently,
his friends believed, ne has lived be-
tween Cairo and Memphis. When he
went to St. Louis and the circum-
stances OF his residence there were
unknown in the Cape last night.
Mr.. Steubenrauch also has a sister
living here, Mrs. John Metz, who re-
sides in the Houck addition in the
southwestern part of the city. Mrs.
Hagen, his daughter, resides at the
Metz home.
4 brother, Joseph Steubenrauch, is
living in the lower counties some
where, and his former wife now is
Mrs. Louis Beaudien.
Mr.. Steubenrauch was about so
years old and was born in Scott
County. His father, George Steuben-
rauch, emigrated to this country from
Germany in the early pioneer days.
Dennis came to the Cape when he was
4 young man and until the time that
ne left here some years ago, he lived
most Of his life in this city.
He moved away from here after he
had been divorced from his first wife,
and a daughter, Geraldine Steuben-
rauch, accompanied him, while his
other daughter and a sister remained.
According to friends who have been
in communication with him since his
removal from the Cape, Steubenrauch
obtained a position upon a large dairy
farm between Cairo and Memphis. He
subsequently married the woman who
owned the farm, it is said.
Steubenrauch was a brother-in-law,
through his first wife, to John Tony
and Joseph Job.

SAYS NEWEST RUMOR
Gerard Said TO Have Intimated
Note Would Not be
Acceptable.

Washington, May 4-Secretary Lam
ing announced tonight the receipt
from Ambassador Gerard an outline
Of Gcrmany's reply to President Will
sons note. He declined to reveal its
contents. but said it had been placed
in the hands Of the President. Mem
bers OF the Cabinet called at the
White House tonight to 90 over the
situation with the Executive.
Ambassador Gerard is said to have
given the hint to the State Depart
ment that the note would contain
propositions that presumably would
not be acceptable to the United
States.
Because of the statement from Ger
ard an atmosphere of gravity prevails
tonight in high administrative circles.
The report has been circulated that
the President will reject the reply and
that break in diplomatic relations
will follow.
Earlier dispatches from Berlin, al
though from unofficial sources. indi-
Gated that Germany would meet the

MAYOR GETS TWO
SQUIRRELS FOR zoo
Executive Will Move Animals to
Park Soon-tO Buy Pair
Geese.

Two tame squirrels housed in a large
woven wire cage have been presented
to the city for the Zoo that is being
organized in Fairgrounds park. May
or Kage, who has been made park
commissioner by the City Council, last
night declared that he expects to
move the two animals from their
present home to the park within a few
days.
The squirrels have been donated to
the zoo by Linus Galliher, who resides
in the Red Star addition. Mr.. Cali
her is a travelling salesman and he
acquired the squirrels on one of his
trips some time ago.
He is an animal fancier and took
them to his home where he had a
large squirrel cage constructed and
undertook to keep them as pets. Aft
er having taken care of them for a
while, however, he became tired Of the
work connected with their upkeep and
recently told the Mayor that he would
be glad to turn the animals over to
the city as soon as the city officials
are ready to receive them and accord
them proper care.
A large supply Of walnuts also will
be turned over to the city by Mr.. Gal
liner as food for the squirrels.
The Mayor last night also annOunc-
ed that he has been promised two
hares by some person who called him
up by telephone and whose identity he
did not learn. He expects to take care
Of these as soon as permissible.
Mr.. Galliher will cooperate with
the Mayor in obtaining some geese
which will be installed at the City park
lake. Mr.. Galliher declared that he
can obtain a pair from a farmer liv-
ino on the other side of Allenville and
tie next time that he makes a trip in
that vicinity he expects to bring home
the geese for the park.
The Mayor declared he wants wild
geese for the lake to take the place
of swans, which have been unavail-
able. The geese will do about as well
until the swans are furnished 10y Her
man Loeffel, who promised to obtain
them at the time the park bond cam
paign was being conducted.
Negotiations still are pending at
Kennett in regard to the acquisition
of the two deer for the zoo, and before
they are brought to the city a place
will have to be fenced off for them.
Promises of many other animals
have been made to Mayor kage with
in the last few weeks, and it is esti-
mated that when once the park is in
condition to accommodate the various
animals, there will be several on hand
| for entrance.

KACE Will PITCH
FIRST BALL SUNDAY
Executive Plans a "Spitter" for
Initial POrtageyille
Batsman.

Mayor Rage on Sunday afternoon
will open the Capaha baseball season
at Fairgrounds park by pitching the
first ball, offering the pellet to the
initial Portageville batsman with all
the skill, dexterity, speed and Eng
lish" that an executive may put
upon it.
As consequence, the Capahas are
confidently looking forward to a
"strike" on the part of the opposing
batter.
Not since the first ball of the open
ing game last spring has the Mayor
entered the "box" to spring his cross
fire delivery upon dazed big-stick
artist. But the Mayor keeps in trim
for an emergency and last night prom
ised Joe Barenkamp, manager of the
Capahas. that he will put 'er over
the pan
However, I'll be candid with you
and say that l probably could do you
more good if were to take the lead
in horseshoe pitching contest than
mere baseball. 1t would be like old
times to pitch ringer.
"We never used to play baseball
much when l was a boy. We were
too busy hunting or fishing, or work
ing, and once in while we could get
up a game of horse-shoes out behind
the barn"
A large crowd is expected to attend
the initial game of the Capahas' sea-
son in the Southeast Missouri league,
which opens with Portageville {,
renkamp has lost one or two of his
prospective players to the Portageville
team, and according to advance dope,
the visitors will have an aggregation
of real baseball players along when
they come to the Cape.
POrtageville is a new team in the
league and will fight hard to make an
excellent showing at the outset. The
Capahas now have a nine that is play
ing as if the men had had a southern
training trip.
Since the announcement of the
schedule Of games for the local team,
enthusiastic followers of the Cape
aggregation have voiced considerable
dissatisfaction with the arrangement
that was meted out to the Cape.
By reason of the fact that the Cape
! is one of the largest cities in the
league and that baseball crowds large
enough to make the game a paying
proposition are drawn to the park, the
Cape rooters contend that the Capa-
| has should have been slated for games
on the home ground two out of every
three games scheduled.
The schedule splits the Capahas'
time fifty-fifty between the Cape and
outside places, so that the team is
put to heavy travelling expense. In a
majority Of the towns where the out
