OPPOSES A meeting; i'r Francis Doesn't Want the State Com-; mittee to Assemble. While there Is really no pressing business necessitating a meeting of the new Democratic State Central Committee, delay of such a meeting can be traced directly -to D. R. TTnless some emergency arises which will cause the new, members of the committee to force a meeting it is an assured fact that Francis and Maffitt will not call the committee together until their scheme is a little further advanced.

The Post-Dispatch has already exposed the Francis plan to get control of the reorganized committee, but there has been no cessation- In the letter writing done by the top storv politicians and their henchmen.

ARTERIES; Young Charles Le Bail's Bloody Attempt at Suicide. WAS DRIVEN FROM HOME.

His Father, a Wealthy French- Officer, Seat Him to America Because of a Misdemeanor. Driven from a luxurious home in sunny France, ignored by father, morose end despondent from brooding: over the sins that had caused his disgrace, James Le Ea.il, a 19-year-old attempted suicide after the manner of the Greek philosophers Sunday night. He opened the" arteries in his wrists and tried to bleed himself to death. He succeeded in weakening himself terribly from loss of blood and turnrhg his aunt's residence, 716 Wash street, into the semblance of a slaughter-house. His aunt, Mrs.

Bailly, discovered him before his condition became serious and Dr. Beal of 927 North Seventh street bandaged him until he stepped the flow of blood. Though so weak that ha is unable to speak, Le Bail will recover. One year ago Le Bail's father, a commissioner of the French Government and the owner of a large estate at Cotes du Nard, France, drove his boy from home because of some serious misdemeanor. He put him in charge of his aunt, Mrs.

Mary Bailly, who lives In a three-room flat at 716 Wash street. Since leaving home the boy has received financial assistance from his father nor an answer to the many letters written home. This treatment made him morose and despondent, and he often threatened to kill himself. His aunt knew the bent of his disposition, and kept his razor hidden from him. Yesterday she went out riding with her 4-year-old boy, and in her absence Bail found her keys and procured the razor.

After everybody in the house had gone to sleep the young suicide got up and brought a cane chair out into the kitchen, also used by his aunt, who is a seamstress, as a work room. He seated himself comfortably, and then cut two long gashes in his left wrist and one in his right. He lay back and let the blood spurt from the severed arteries onto the bare floor. As he grew weaker the chair became uncomfortable and he staggered to his feet. He fell down In the pool of his own blood that covered six fet of the floor.

He managed, however, to drag himself into the next room and into his bed. A terrible track, from one room to the other, shows how he made his way on blood-smeared hands and kne-s. He bled on in the bed and lapsed into unconsciousness. Mrs. Bailly arose at her usual hour this morning and passing through Le Bail's room to the kitchen was horrified to see him stretched out on the bed in a pool of Diooa ana nimseir covered with blood from head to foot.

There were bloodv footnrints leading from the kitchen and the smear of bloody fingers was over everything. On the bare floor of the kitchen was a pool of blood six feet in diameter and in the center or it stood the cane chair In which LeBail sat ween ha severed his arteries. Mrs. Bailey told a Post-Dispatch reporter mat sne was not surprised at tne ooy act, as he has been threatening for months past to kill himself. He would mope for days around the house without saying a word to anyone, b.ne claims she does not know Wie the boy's father had sent him away from Jiome, but admits that the sudden transposition from luxury was the cause of his despondency.

La Bail is a well-featured lad. intelligent and was receiving the best training up to the time he was sent away from France. He was too utterly spent from loss of blood this morning ta explain his attempt at self destruction. Mrs. Bailly says that if he recovers she wui sena mm rignt Dack to bis father.

TRUSTED THEM TO A FRIEND. lies behind the generous gift of Mrs. Clara B. Ely of St. Louis for foreign missions, at the Christian Healers' camp meeting at Old Orchard, Me.

Sunday's services were made more than interesting by the' frenzied enthusiasm of the worshippers Some gave all they, had for missions and others checked off small fortunes for the same cause. The collection amounted to $72,000. The telegraphic account states that Mrs. Ely of St. Louis, widow of the late Frank Ely of the Ely Walker Dry Goods gave a note for $500, the proceeds of the Eale of diamonds.

The story of the sale of these gems as told by Mrs. George G. Gibson, a member of Mrs. Ely's divine healing church, is this: "Last fall Mrs. Ely, not satisfied with expending large sums of money for the work Nineteenth and -Morgan streets, determined to dispose of her gems.

She had become convinced that the wearing of precious stones was not in accordance with the divine commands. She had ear-rings and finger rings set with costly diamonds, and she selected several of them, worth between $700 and $1,000, for immediate" sale. She asked a reputable business man to raise $500 on them. She wished to devote the money to the church onMorgan street. She had plenty cash, the income from a $500,000 fortune, but she chos.e to devote the proceeds of the diamonds to church work.

The gentleman to whom Mrs. Ely gave the diamonds turned them over to a Jeweler with the lady's consent. The third man was supposed to be in a position to dispose of the gems. In due time the second man in the deal called on Mrs. Ely with the proceeds of.the sale or pawn, whichever it was, for no one seems to know.

The proceeds were not in the shape of cash, but were represented by the man's note for $500. Mrs. Ely did not give the note to the church at Nineteenth and Morgan streets. She delved into her pocket and drew out $500 in cash and gave it to the cause. She kept the note and Sunday subscribed it for foreign missions.

Mrs. Gibson says that Mrs. Ely is satisfied the note Is good, and has forgiven the maker of it for not handing over the cash. Mrs. Gibson says Mrs.

Ely's friends are not as sanguine about the man's credit. The moment Mrs. Ely becomes satisfied that the note is not good she will give $500 in cash to make it good. Her friends who know her generous impulses are sure of this. Who the man to whom Mrs.

Ely gave her gems, or who the maker of the $500 note, could not be learned. Mrs. Gibson positively declined to give their names. The fact that several of the enthusiasts at Old Orchard, surrendered the gold cases of their watches for iron ones developed that several St. Louisans have done the same in the past year.

Mr. A. S. Barnes, who belongs to Mrs. Ely's church, sent a gold watch and chain worth $184 to New York.

In return he got his watch, set in an iron case, inscribed "Gold for Iron for Jesus' Sake." The difference ln value between the gold case and chain and the Iron case went for missions. Rev. W. E. Black, who has a mission at Nineteenth and Wash streets, also has an iron watch case, obtained ln the same way, WALLER COURT-MARTIAL.

This Government Is Unable to Obtain a Record of the Proceedings. Special to Tbe Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. Aug. Eustis' failure to secure either a copy of the proceedings in the Waller court-martial at Tamatave or permission to see "ir.

waiier prison was duly reportea to vvasnington. The cablegram was sent a week ago Saturday, directing him to further insist on having a copy of the proceedings In the trial and permission to see Mr. Waller. No answer has been received from the Ambassador, the Department inferring that he is giving the French Government a suitable time in which to make reply. It is now certain that he will never ob tain the copy af the proceedings of the court-martial, and for the best reasons.

The court-martial was improperly organ ized and failed to make a record of them. The announcement of this start ling fact will show how clearly at the mercy or tne united states is the French Government, according to all diplomatic usages, Nothing but an ijrnomious diplomatic back down or a continued violation of the rules of International courtesy can follow. It can be stated authoritatively that the United States will not1 recognize French supremacy ln Madagascar until the Waller Incident is entirely closed and the rights of American citizens have been guaranteed there. It is an open question if this administration will recognise the- French there at all. Information has been received from Minister Eustis that the present French Cabinet will be compelled to answer some very embarrassing questions in the Chamber of Deputies covering the whole Madagascar affair.

Ellis, member of Parliament for Merionethshire, seconded the motion, and complimented the Conservative leader, Mr. Balfour, on the course he had taken in this connection. Mr. Gully then thanked the House for the honor done him, which he said he did not think he owed to personal considerations, but to the manner in which he hoped he had acquitted himself during his term of office. The Speaker was then conducted to the chair amid loud cheers from all parts of the House.

Upon assuming the chair Mr. Gully again thanked the House for the honor done him and the mac was then laid upon the table. Mr. Balfour congratulated Mr. Gully upon his re-election in a few words, expressing confidence ln his impartiality.

Took Him Out to a Road-House and Believed Him of Several Thou- sands of Dollars. If the story told to the police this morning by Fred Klasing, a clerk for the State Commission is true, a slick dice game has been worked on Robert W. Golsan, a commission merchant, with an office at 322 Pine street. The- is said to have lost several thousands of dollars in the transaction. The victim Is a member of the commission firm of Golsan Goit, at the above number, and lives at 4330 Washington boulevard.

According to the story told to the police by Klasing Golsan, while under the influence of liquor, fell In with Ed Burroughs and Tom- Gleason and together they went buggy "Sllason Is bartender at Hennessy's saloon, Jefferson avenue and Wash street, and he and Burroughs are considered the slickest dice sharks in this part of the country. The game by which Golsan lost his money Is al'eged to have been worked with dice. The trio drove out through Forest Park last Thursday and finally headed out the Clayton road to the Woodlawn House, nine miles out from the city. There they remained for more than a day, the greater part of the, time being spent In drinking Pitzsimmons, Who Will Fight for Post-Dispatch.) All the money Goldsan had with him was soon in the possession of Burroughs and Gleason, and then he began to write checks lor money he lost. Goldsan gave each of them a check for $500 on the Bank of where he keeps an account.

They were drawn on Friday and on Saturday the checks were cashed. Several other checks are said to have been given by Goldsan, all of which have since been cashed. Just how much money he lost cannot be learned. The exact manner In which the game was worked on him has not yet been ascertained, but It is supposed "loaded" or dice were used by his companions, a trick that could be easily worked, especially if the victim had first been made drunk. Klasing was seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter at the Mining Stock Exchange in the rear of Scott's saloon, 117 North Sixth street.

His directory address is given as a clerk for the State Commission another" alleged mining stock exchange at 321 Pin street. The two places seem to be run under the same management. He refused to tell anything about the affair and appea-ed to be indignant that the police had given the story to the reporters. FOR DUNRAVEN'S CTJP.

Mafntt, and the latter ran the machine I according to Francis' dictation until the latter's term expired. When Gov. Stone became the party nominee it was arranged that he should name the chairman who was to take charge of his campaign. MaJ. Harvey WV Salmon was his choice, and several members of the committee heartily agreed.

Sam Cook was booked for the secretaryship, and to this there was no objection among the members of the committee. But when the committee was called together in this city Francis rounded up the members, and in spite of precedent, courtesy to the party nominee and even, decency, the ex-Governor refused to release his grip on the committee. He turned down Mai. Salmon and Sam Cook and put ln Charley Mafntt and J. Will Zevely.

Thus equipped he proceeded to run Mr. Stone's campaign for him according to the Francis Idea of running things. Rather than create dissension in the party Gov. Stone made the race, thus barnacled, but he felt the pressure of Francis bossism at every turn. He not only had the top story crowd to carry but was knifed by them on every side.

There could be no secrecy during the entire campaign and every caucus and every meeting in some manner became public property and was faithfully reported in the Republican press. Gov. Stone was able only after the most humble supplication to have Maj. Salmon named as Chairman of the i-jtecutlve Committee and was thus enabled to run his own campaign Just a little. But in spite of all the obstacles that wen placed in his way Gov.

Stone was elected by a plurality of 28,000. These figures stand out on baa-relief in comparison with 5.CMJ0 plurality for Francis, whose canvass cost him in the neighborhood of as against $1,400 which Stone spent for railroad the entire expense of his campaign. Under Francis rule the Missouri Democra cy went from 28,000 plurality straight down the line to defeat.but still the self-nominated boss continued to hover over the party like a pall threatening to send it to the morgue until the people rose up in their might and smashed his machine and buried Francis and MafTitt In the debris. Still they are endeavoring to regain control. OFF FOR WASHINGTON.
