Fluent's Leg Was Caught in Machinery of His Yacht. Capt. William Fluent of Alton was caught in the machinery of his yacht Sunday morning while on the river alone, and lay on the floor of the boat for over an hour with a badly mangled leg, while his craft floated down the Mississippi. Capt, Fluent had gone out on a trial trip with his new boat. When over in the slough behind the McPike island he started to work with the engine, and in some manner was caught in the machinery.

His right leg was terribly mangled, being broken in three places. The flesh in one place was torn from the bone. After making an effort to shut off the engine he became helpless. After lying in the boat for nearly an "ur, he was rescued, almost dead from the loss of blood, by Steve Ruckman of West Alton. Euekman was building a houseboat on the Missouri shore and noted the Fluent Tjoac floating down the slough.

The current In the slough is sluggish and the boat moved along olowly. Ruckman knew it was Fluent's boat and wondered why It floated about. Ruckman rowed to the craft In his skiff and found Fluent lying on the floor of the boat unconscious. Ruckman placed Fluent in the skiff and rowea wttn all "naste to Aiton. where a physician was secured.

Fluent is recovering from the effects of the nervous shock, but will be an Invalid for many months with a leg that may yet have to be amputated. Capt.

The congregation of the propaganda has decided to propose that the Pope appoint Rt. Rev. John J. Qlen-i non, coadjutor bishop of Kansas City, as coadjutor archbishop of St. Louis, and Rt.

Rev. Henry Moeller, bishop of Co-umbus, as coadjutor bishop of Cincinnati. Bishop Glennon' name vaa proposed by Cardinal Satolli and was unanimously ap-' proved. It is most probable that a con-' Btetory will be held in the middle of May. i The appointment of Ri3hop Glennon to i trie important post of coadjutor bishop Of St.

Louis with the right of succession to Archbishop KaJn was forecasted in a special cablegram from Rome to the Post-Dispatch 10 days ago. Since then It has been generally be lieved in St. Louis that the Kansas City prelate would receive the appointment from Pope Leo. but the frionds of Bish ops Dunne and Messmer among the local clergy have declared since that they would continue to hope. Bishop Glennon Is now auxiliary bishop of Kansas City, and Is practically the head of the diocese, as Bishop Hogan is old and ii Arm.

He is a young man, only a few years past 40, and Is well known to the Catholic clergy of St Louis from frequent visits here. He has assisted Archplshop Kaln frequently within the past few years and was In St. Louis only ten days ago to ordain a number of young priests at Kenrick Seminary. Archbishop Kaln Is understood to be very friendly to Bishop Glennon and it is said that his appointment will be pleasing to hi bishop Glennon's name was on both lists sent to Rome. He was the first of the i three names on the suffragan bishops' list, and the second on the Hat of the priests.

Blsiiop Glennon was born in Ireland, but was educated In America. He is an accomplished speaker. The other two candidates on the priests' list were Bishop Edmund Dunne of Dallas, and Bfthop Sebastian Messmer-f Green Bay, Wis. Neither is as well known here as Bishop Glennon.

Archbishop Kain appeared very much pleased, Monday morning, when ho was shown the- Associated Press cablegram fiom Rome by the Post-Dispatch. "I hardlv exbected anv action today." he said, "but I am very glad, of course, 1 that the college of cardinals has come to a decision. I am also pleased that Bshop Glennon is their choice. He was my choice for the place. "I'sualiy the recommendation of the cardinals is final in such cases.

The Holy Father usually acts at ones in the matter cf appointments after the secretary of the college of cardinals has notified him of their decision. "Now that Cardinal Veccia has notified the Hoiy Father of the recommendation. 1 expect that his formal appointment may be made in r. very few days. "There is a of the college of cardinals set for today for the selection of new cardinal, and poslblv this rray interfere with an immediate appointment.

"I have received no cablegram mvself in reference to the appointment, but I hive no douht tint the cable to the Post-Dispatch is authentic. "Will Officiate at Cathredal. "Bishop Glennon will be in St. Louis on Holy Thursday to officiate in my stead at the old Cathedral at the blessing of the oils, as I am net able to officiate. "Bishop Glennon will, of course, wait for official notice of his appointment before he removes to St.

Louia. He will r.ot be consecrated as coadjutor bishop, as he has already been consecrated as a bishop He can be installed with ail the ceremony he may like. Archb shop Kr.in is suffering from rheumatism and is unable to attend to many of his ecclesiastical duties.

Hawes Gives Ward Workers Instructions for Election Day.

FULL STATEMENT PROMISED, BUT NOT BEFORE ELECTION Democratic Leader Complains That Circuit Attorney Declined to Do Party Work, but Spoke on Good Citizenship. "The Democrats do not propose to defend themselves at this time against the charge that they have snubbed Circuit Attorney Folk. "When the election is over will bs a statement forthcoming, and It will then be up to the other man (meaning Mr. Folk) to explain. "Mr.

Folk can more satisfactorily answer the charges that have b. vn maJe, and I desire to say here that ibliean newspapers have printed what, is absolutely false." This was the declaration cf Hirry Hawes before a meeting of all the Democratic precinct committeemen, election judges and clerk held last night at the Jefferson club. The meeting was called for the purpose of Instructing the Judges and clerks as to their duties at the poils Tuesday. The various committeemen were directed to use their best efforts to secure the election of Democratic candidates. Mr.

Hawes made the opening address, and his caustic remarks, relative to the circuit attorney, made a 6light commotion among his auditors. As the meeting was a secret one, no outsiders were permitted In the hall, and the Jefferson president, therefore, had what might be called a "heart-to-heart talk" with the Democratic worKers. Letters From Folk Were Read. Apparently the object of his reference to the Circuit Attorney was to supply committeemen with Information to reply to the accusatlor.3 which have been made acainst the Democracy as an organization as it has been felt that to leave these charges go entirely unchallenged, might work injury to the party in several wards It was the assurance that tne recent attitude of the Jefferson Club towards Mr. Folk would be thoroughly set forth that tfhe committeemen and their friends in' cheerful hnmor.

After delivering the remarks above quoted Mr. Hawes read letters from Mr. Folk, containing, it ie said, that gentleman refusal to make any speeches in behair of the Democratic ticket. One communication is reported to have concerned the Odeon meeting. Mr.

Folk, according to the letter whieb Hawes had. sent his regrets, saying he had another engagement, or to that effect. .7 "The circuit continued Mr Hawes. "declared verbally that he could not devote a stnle evening to the cam- P'fn the face of this excuse, however, he found time to attend a banquet and lecture on good government and civic virtues." How to Treat Republicans. Coming down to election matters, Mr.

Hawes said he understood that the Republicans would resort to obstructive tactics to delay the election. If any Republican Judge or clerk fal'ed to appear at the poll on time, lie said, he should be notified at his home, and then If he did not appear by 6:15 it would be the duty of the Democratic Judge and clerk, he said, to appoint other officials, to open the ballot i i. boxes ana prucrc i wm 1115 election. It Is understood that each of the com mitteemen was handed a check for $20. thus -Indicating that the Jefferson Club Is giving the party workers between and tT.yxt to insure victory.

There is little speculation as to the vut-com of municipal election. Republican leaders virtually concede that the Democrats will carry the city by a ma jority or 10 For the House of Delegates the Democrats expect to carry 18 of the 2S wards. The renort was current Monday that II. Davis and W. Morton.

Democratic nominees for the Council, would be scratched tnn sixteenth. Fourteenth. T-htrl and Fourth wards. The objection Is made that Morton and Davis are "solar walkers" and have neg lected to an anvtnmir to neip out the House p-mncratlc candidates.

How Alum Bill Became a Law. The utter absurdity of such a law la recognised, but the Senate, by a vote ef 19 to 14, refused to order its repeal. This enactment was brought about by tha Baking Powder Trust at the lSy9 session of the legislature, the representation being made that alum would be excluded from ail food products.

In 19fl the House of Representative, voted unanimously to suspend the operation of the statute, and the bill for that purpose was sent to the Senate. In the upper body It was handled by tho criminal Jurisprudence committee, and died peacefully. i about that time, however, a new Richmond entered the field as an expert on "alum." This was Wiiiiam J.
