The Rev. Father Joseph R. Wat son, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Eleventh and Destrehan streets, following a series of thefts from the poor box in the church, recently rigged up a burglar trap, arranged in such a manner that an electric buzzer in his study would sound when the box was be ing tampered with. He was in his study at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the buzzer sounded. Running across the street to a dry goods store he summoned Claude Rocks, a clerk, and the two entered the church, when they discovered a stranger at the box.

The man said he was Vaclaz Krejci. 35 years old, of 3636 Page boulevard. He said he was a scenic artist and that he had been graduated from Prague University. The prisoner was turned over to the police and when searched $119 and a collection of tools, 'including a screw driver, wrench and pair of plyers. were found in his pockets.

He also had two skeleton keys, an altar candle and three slugs, such as are used to operate nickel slot machines. Father Watson identified the slugs as some he had placed in the poor box to use as evidence in the event a thief was caught tampering with the hox. The trap in which Krejci was caught consisted of a board containing several bolts attached to the box in such a manner that when an attempt was made to open the box the bolts in the board were loosened and formed a circuit with electric wires connected with the buzzer. When asked why, in view of the fact that he had $119, he wanted to rob a poor box, the prisoner just 6hook his head. F.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD. 111. Feb. 4.

The St. Louis Merchants' Bridge Co. must pay its tax as levied by Treasurer Little of Madison the Supreme Court ruled today in denying a rehearing to the company. The case was decided at the last term of court. In asking for a rehearing, on the ground that the assessment was excessive, attorneys maintained that the assessment should be made on a fair sale value of the property.

They said this was not more than $2,000,000, while Little bad' assessed the Illinois half of the bridge at $1,560,000. ST. LOUIS MARINE UNACCOUNTED FOR BURIED IN FRANCE" City Counselor Says He Will Try to Borrow Clerks to Rush Looking Up Titles to Property. Speeding up of the preparatory legal and clerical work, in carrying out the ordinance for the widening Twelfth (High) street and connecting streets north of Washington avenue, is planned by City Counselor Daues. Mayor Kiel is expected, within the next few days, to sign the ordinance, which was passed by the Board of Aldermen yesterday.

The next step lies with the City Iaw Department, which must ascertain who are the owners of all the land against which condemnation i suits are to be filed for the widening. The filing of the suits comes next, and the Circuit Court must then name commissioners to fix the benefit district, and to assess damages and benefits. The findings of the commissioners are subject to court review, and appeals from the damage findings are taken to the court. Work long Process. This work is ordinarily a long process.

In the case of Washington avenue, more than seven years elapsed between the passage of the ordinance and the commencement of work, which is now in progress. The Twelfth street traffic thoroughfare to the north, as far as provided for in the ordinance, is expected to cost about $1,800,000. The City Counselor said today that he could not say how soon it would be possible to get his part of the work completed, but he hoped to get the titles verified, the suits filed and the matter in the hands of the courts in a -ear or less. He said he would then try to speed up the commissioners' work, and, so far as possible, to get the cases handled promptly in the courts. He would not set a time when construction may commence, but others familiar with city affairs said that, if no serious delay was encountered, the work might begin within two years.

Much Clerienl Work. Daues said he would try to borrow clerks from other city departments for the work of checking up the titles, which is a voluminous job, and that instead of service papers by the City Marshal other employes would be used. Opponents of the measure have now no recourse except to circulate referendum petitions. The signatures of 7 per cent of the voters, on such petitions, would bring about a special election, at which a majority vote would decide the fate of the ordinance. The route of the 100-foot thoroughfare provided In the ordinance is Twelfth (High) street, north from Washington avenue to O'Fallon street, O'Fallon to Thirteenth street.

Thirteenth to Mullanphy and thence, with curving cutoffs into Fifteenth street; north on Fifteenth street to Wright street, and thence an extension of Fifteenth street to Palm street, which is to be widened to a connection with Natural Bridge ave- nue.

LATEST SPOUSE ASKS FOR HIS PROSECUTION Miss Dollie Bishop, Then Matron of St. Luke's Hospital, and Eugene Coker, Married Nov.

22 Last. Eugene C. Coker, 40 years old, a grocery salesman, already liad two living wives when lie married Miss Dollie Bishop, 30 years old, then Matron of St. Luke's Hospitaf, Nov. 22 last, according to his admission to the St.

Louis police last night before he was taken to Centralia, to answer a charge of passing a bad check there. The third marriage was at midnight at Clayton. Coker told the police one of his wives, the second, lives in Louisville, and his first and only legal wife, and their child lives at Bellflower, Mo. He and his third wife lived at 714 Clara avenue. She did not know until yesterday that Coker hail other wives.

On learning this she went to the warrant office to ask that he be prosecuted. Charged With Embezzling. Besides the check passing and bigamy charges which he may have to face, Coker, in a warrant Issued yesterday, was charged with embez zling $500 from the Goddard Grocer 413 South Seventh street, for which he was a salesman. Coker was arrested at Seventh and Locust streets Monday night by Detectives Heggeman and Kemp on a telegram from authorities at Montgomery who said he was wanted on the Centralia check-passing charge. Detectives recognized him, as he was arrested last March on complaint of his Louisville wife, who alleged that he had deserted her and had taken $500 of her money.

Yesterday, while Coker was in the holdover, the police received a tele-v pram from the Chicago police that he was wanted there for obtaining $85 in a confidence game under the alias Oscar Clarence Bauer. One Wife Refuses to Prosecute. Examination of the record of his arrest last March showed that Bauer was then one of his aliases and that his Louisville wife said he married her in Cincinnati under that name In January, 1919. She was a Louisville school teacher. This wife came to St.

Louis last March and told the police she had learned he had another wife at Bellflower, Mo. Later she wrote to the police that she did not wish to prosecute for bigamy or for taking her $500 and he was released. After being confronted with this record Coker readily admitted he had throe wives. He said he married the1' third, Miss Bishop, as a result of an acquaintance formed when hs went to St. Luke's Hospital to sell groceries.

Didn't Know About Them. The only excuse Coker offered was hat he did not know whether his first two wives were still alive or whether they had obtained divorces. Sheriff Whitesides of Boone County came to St. Louis yesterday with the warrant charging Coker With passing a worthless check. He was permitted to take Coker on his promise that he would be returned to St.

Louis for prosecution of the embezzlement and possibly on the bigamy charge after the check-passing case is disposed of. The police today received a message from the Chicago police saying Coker was "no longer wanted" there on the confidence game charge. HEROIC ACTION OF ENGINEER SAVES TRAIN OF PASSENGERS Mexican Drives Own Knglne I'p to "Wild" One Ahead Loosed by Bandit. Crawls Aboard nml Stops It. Hy the Asuoiiated Press.

LAREDO, Feb. 4 A story heroic action on the part of a locomotive engineer, which probably saved the lives of many passengers, recently was printed in Kxcelsfior, a dally of Mexico City. The engineer, the paper said, was too modest to Permit the use of his In the State of Zacateeas. the rect. Secretary-Treasurer of the Closed Meramec Trust Co.

Required to Furnish Three Bonds of $2000 Each. Still another chapter was added to the tangled financial affairs of the Meramec Trust Virginia avenue and Meramec street, when an indictment charging Joseph G. Lowe 6114 Westminster place, who was secretary-treasurer of the bank, with embezzlement of $9576.08 from the bank, was made public today. When Lowe appeared yesterday afternoon Circuit Judge Klene'3 Court to answer on a bond furnished for him last week, when he was indicted on a charge ot having feloniously accepted deposits in the Meramec Trust knowing that the bank was insolvent, he was informed of the embezzlement indictment and also of a second indictment charging the same offense that last week's indictment alleged. Three Bonds of $20OO Kueh.

In view of the two additional indictments, Lowe's former bond of $3000 was taken up and he was required to furnish three new bonds of $2000 each. The bonds were signed by John Cafferata, owner of a cafe at Hamilton avenue and Delmar boulevard. The embezzlement indictment alleges that Ixwe on or about Oct. 1 last, about five days before the bank was closed, appropriated to his own use $9,576.08. It sets forth that the money was not appropriated at one time but in a period of one year.

The amount was carried by Lowe, the indictment charges, as an overdraft against his checking account at the bank. The second indictment, charging the acceptance of deposits after the bank had become insolvent, alleges that Lowe received for deposit $76 on a date shortly before Oct. 6 when the bank was closed. Investigation of Forgery. The Circuit Attorney, as is known, recently announced that he would order a Grand Jury investigation of the finding of a forged note for $7500 in the assets of the Meramec Trust Co.

The note, as has been told, bore the name of J. A. W. Ferngw of Chicago, who in an affidavit has repudiated the signature as a forgery. It became known today that Lowe's transactions with the Lo.

reman Chair Manufacturing Tenth and Mullanphy streets, which on Jan. 30 acknowleged an indebtedness of $157,000 to the Meramec Tn-st were carried on surreptitiously, and that the papers relating thereto were kept by Lowe in a private compartment of his desk and in a safety deposit box. As has been told, it was these loans, which ere greatly in excess of the amount which the Meramec Trust C-. under the banking laws, was permitted to lend to one individual or corporation, that caused the closing of the bank Oct. 6 last by State Banking Commissioner.

Denies Poeketing Any Funds. Other officers of the bank and the board of directors now say they had no knowledge of the Logeman loans until they heard Lowe tell of them to the Banking Commissioner at the time that the accounts of the bank were being audited just prior to the closing of the bank. They say that Lowe explained, when confronted with an apparent shortage in his cash records, that he had made loans to the Logemans, a record of whicVi he kept separate from the rest of his accounts and that his reason for so doing was that he knew that h3 was exceeding his authority and did not want his superiors in the bann to "have any knowledge of it. Lowe insisted at the time, and ha3 since repeated time and again, that he did not pocket a single penny of the bank's money. He said that the loans were made to the Logemans in the belief that they would earn good profits for the bank.

Closing of Bank Ordered. Lowe produced the records and other papers involved in the Logeman loans after the Banking Commissioner had begun his investigation of the hank's accounts. When they disclosed that he had loaned the Logemans a sum greatly in execs': of the $7500 which, under banking laws, was the highest amount the Meramec Trust was authorized to lend to one individual or corporation, the Banking Commissioner ordered the bank closed on the ground that its capital had been impaired. The Lftgenian concern had a checking wcoilnt at the Meramec Trust and a schedule of assets of the company showed that overdrafts amounting to $33,789.03 had been charged against that account. The assets also included overdraft! amounting to against Joseph G.

Lowe in a checking account carried by him as trustee for the Logeman account WOULD POSTPONE INQUIRY Attomey-tienernl I'neertaln When He Can Be at Clayton. Circuit Judge Wurdeman of St. Louis County today received a letter from Attorney-General McAllis-tr, asking that the calling of a special grand jury to investigate gambling in the county, as recently requested by Gov.

He stated that work In his office had been interrupted Ky the death of his father-in-law, and that he is now taicertain when he ran be at Clayton.

Mrs. Murphy was on the stand testifying against her father.

Airs. Pollman, who sat near her husband, shook her head several times and smiled while the testimony was being given. This angered Mrs. Murphy, who said to her mother: "You needn't shake your head. It's hard to testify with my own flesh and blood sitting there and laughing at me." "That is right, Mrs.

Pollman," said. Judge KImmel. "This is no vaudeville show. You will have to take a seat outside the railing." Mrs. Pollman obeyed.

Mrs. Murphy testified that she loved her husband before their separation, Dec. 23, 1917, but she added: "I do not love him now, because of all the trouble father has caused." She testified that Pollman told her he did not like Murphy because he was an "Irish Mick," and he did not want "Irish Mick" grandchildren. Mrs. Murphy testified that after the separation she went to live at her father's home with her two children, but that her father ordered her away from his home in January, 1918, because she had informed a a draft board that Murphy was supporting the children.
