Fannie Tastel, 9 years old, secured the release of her parents from jail by htr persistence. Rebuffed and driven away from the Central district police station time and again, she lingered about for five hours and a deputy sheriff, to whom she finally told her story, was touched by her distress.

And she was permitted to see her parents and they were refeased on the surety of a volunteer bondsman. Jacob and Lena Pastel, the parents, quarreled at noon with neighbors, who caused their arresr at their home, X'orth Fourteenth street. Fannie took the four younger children and went with them to the Four Courts. She was told that they could not see their parents. They stayed around for five hours without food.

At 9 o'clock D'-puty Sheriff Burns found the children crying on the courthouse steps. He took them to the police station and requested that they be permitted to see their parents. William Rothild. who was at the station, volunteered to po on the bond of the parents and they were Body to Se Held Pending Arrival of Pather From National Capital or Word From Him.

White says he saw Dorr In a taloon near I'nion Station, Tuesday afternoon, and Dorr told him he had Just arrived from Washington to spend a week at the Fair. After awhile Dorr asked White for th5 direction to the National League baseball grounds, saying he wanted to attend the Cardinal-Brooklyn game. White gave hira the information and Dorr took an Kiftht-eenth street car for the grounds. That was the last White saw of Dorr, nc-corling to his story to the police, and no one has yet ieen found who saw him at a liter hour.

The highest fine yet imposed for automobile scorching in St. Louis waa saddled onto William H. Pattinon of 3558 Pine street by Judge Pollard this morning in the Dayton street police court. Fifty dollars was the price of his speed. Incidentally, the police department made the first use of the automobile with which it has provided ltnelf for the purpose of running down and arresting scorchers, and which was put into commission last Sunday.

Shortly before 8 o'clock Wednesday evening Mounted Policemen James Cooney and WBHam Stinger were riding north on King's highway under the care of William Sleuter, the police chauffeurt when they observed a big auto driven by a young man who proved to be Mr. rattison, who is in the employ of an automobile company, and who was taking a prospective patron out for a ride. He turned his machine into Delmar boulevard, going west. At that time the speedometer on the police machine showed it to bo traveling at the rate of 12 miles an hour the chauffeur having smoked up a bit to keep in sight of Mr. Pattison.

The legal rate of speed at which an auto may travel through the city is eight miles an hour. Shortly after turning west the speed increased to 16 miles, and by the time Union avenue was reached Mr. Pattison was hitting the grit at the somewhat dizzy pace of 20 miles per. He turned north on t'nior. avenue, and, ty the time he had reached Maple avenue, according to the police indicator, he was ripping up the ozone at the rate of 2) miles an hour.

The policemen, fearing that they would bump up and hit a cloud if they kept on much longer, called a halt by ringing a bell an innovation, by the way, in the line of auto signals. Mr. Pattison was attracted by the sound and looked back. The policemen bade him halt and he halted. He was placed under arrest.

"Why, 1 thought you wanted to race me. you were coming bo swift," he declared, vastly surprised. "Nay, nay," said the cops, in unison, "but the Judge will lead thee a merry chase on the morrow." Thus It came about that young Mr. Pattison was haled into court, where evidence was produced against him by the minions of the law. He told the same story about laboring under a misapprehension ns to a race, but Judge Pollard was deaf in both ears.

"It is time," said the Dayton street Jurist, "that people should be restrained from running these mighty engines of death through the public streets. There is no excuse for it. I ought to tine this young man, or the company he represents, the limit, which Is $5o0." Mr. Pattison pleaded that he would have to pay his own fine, and Judge Pollard marked down his opinion to $50.

How could uny state lie developed or any great enterprise undertaken if it were not for corporations? Knowing the benefit of such institutions. 1 am not one abuse them." In reply to a question as to his campaign plans. Senator Davis said that he will make no general rear enJ platform canvass of the country. "The national committee nil! not dispose of me," he "I dispose of myself.

Of course I shall assist the committee in every way possible, and if is ihousht tivat I am needed in any part of the country to aid the movement. I wi there, but for any general tour with rear-end platform speeches, no." "What have you to say of the platform in general?" was" the last question asked Senator Davis, and his reply was: "Having helped to make it. I think it pretty good. The thing we tried hardest to do was the make of a platform on which everybody can stand, mid in that. I think, we have succeeded.

We can now present, an absolutely united front a party. "This Is the lir.st time in a great many years that we have been to do this, and this fact aione makes the platform, in my opinion, a success. For the trouble we have had we must go a g'Hid way bni before Bryan's time. Years before he was heard of there was a communistic set ti-ment that constantly caused trouble for party.

There is reason to believe that at this conference the question of the Democratic national chairmanship will be settled, and Mr. Davis strongly intimates that Senator Gorman will be that official. "I have been invited to meet these lead- ers ami Judge Parker," said Senator Davis. "anil I shall attend the conference and for the first time make the personal acquaintance of Judge Parker. I cannot say where or when the conference will be held or what will be done.

But everybody wants Senator Gorman to accept the chairmanship of the national committee. Personally. 1 favor Mr. Gorman very strongly. His mother and my mother were sisters, you know, and that has drawn us very close together." In reply to a direct question as to his opinion of Judge Parker's bomblike telegram to the St.

Louis convention Senator Davis said: "Judge Parker's telegram must have a growing effect toward greatly Increasing hi3 own strength and that of the party. It reveals his to the country in a stronger light than he has heretofore occupied as a man. a thinker, and one who is altogether inclined in the right It will do more than ail else that Judge Parker has ever done, or more than all that his record contains, to convince the voters that he is Independent and beyond the control of any man or sot of men that he is of the very highest order of American manhood.
