1. The deciphering of cryptogram messages by Assistant District Attorney W. J. Ford through his discovery of the secret code used by Clarence S. Darrow provided an unexpected sensation in the Darrow bribery trial.

The messages disclosed yesterday were part of a large number of telegrams secured by the Federal authorities engaged In the dynamite investigation. Among the documents in the possession of the District Attorney is the telegram which was sent by Darrow to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Dec. 1, 1911. the day on which the McNamaras' pleas were taken. This message was not in court.

On the same day, as appeared from the evidence taken early in the Darrow trial; a check for $10,000, drawn upon the Mc-Namara defense fund by Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of I-ahor, and made payable to Darrow, was canceled. When Darrow resumed the stand for further cross-examination today it was explained he would be on the stand the entire day. VINE COLBY i Dr. John C. Morfit.

former Hospital Commissioner, filed suit in the Circuit Court Thursday to review the trial at which he received a divorce from Mrs. Josephine H. N. Morfit in February, 1910. The purpose of the suit is to obtain entire custody of their 11-year-old daughter, Josephine Gregory Morfit.

The physician asked early action so he might keep the girl and not forfeit which otherwise he would have to pay the mother if he kept Josephine after Sept. 15. Court Had Charge of Oirl. The suit brings to light what lawyer; call an unusual arrangement between the parents and an unusual order of the court. Instead of awarding custody of the child to either parent, the court retained jurisdiction over her.

In doing this it incorporated in its decree a judgment in a habeas corpus proceeding brought in El Paso, two years before the divorce. In the Texas case possession of the child was in dispute and the court retained jurisdiction over her, arranging that she should spend part of the time with her father and the rert with her mother. By adopting as its own this Texas mling, the St. Louis court virtually put itself in the place of parent to the girl. The division of the child's time between the father and mother was arranged in an agreement between them which was written into the decree and became part of it.

It provided that Dr. Morfit was to have custody of Josephine from June 1 to Sept. 15 of each year and the mother the rest of the time. Kach parent then executed a forfeiture bond It was as reed if either parent kept the child over the stipulated time, tlx; $10,000 was to go to the other and stan 1 in liquidation of damages. Girl Can't Itead or Write.

In the new petition, Morfit declares that, although Josephine is 11 years old. she neither can read nor write, so that he cannot correspond with her when she is away from him. He charges that her mother too! Josephine abroad asainst his wishes and kept her in Berlin four months. Dr, Morfit charges, also, that, instead of bringing the child back in person in time to escape the forfeiture, Mrs. Morfit sent Josephine to St.

Louis in the care of strangers whom the mother did not know, except in a brief acquaintance in Berlin. At Dr. Morfit's request. Judge Mc-Quillin set Sept. for hearing the motion to review the case.

ST. LOUIS OUTPUT OF BEER SHOWS INCREASE Horace E. Bixby Is dead. This was the sad word which went the rounds of veteran river pilots In St. Louis, Thursday, and called forth tender memories of a man whose name is written in an Immortal book.

Capt. Horace E. Bixby, the man who taught Mark Twain how to pilot a Mississippi River steamboat, was found dead in bed at his home, 7414 Maple avenue, Maplewood, Thursday morning. was 86 years old. The discovery was made by Mrs.

Bixby. Capt. Bixby had been in continuous river service for 63 years. Until aVear ago he was on the staff of the United States snagboat Wright, and at tho time of his death he was commander of the towboat Nokomis. He had been pilot of some of the finest boats on the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers.

Prized Anthor'a ltter. He began his career as a pilot in IS49 and became Mark Twain's instructor on the steamer Paul Jones in 1857. He was proud of his lifelong friendship with the great writer, and prized the many letters which he had received from him. For teaching Mark Twain to pilot a boat Capt. Bixby received $500.

At least he always said he received it. Mark Twain, in his book, "Life on the Mississippi," is less specific. He merely says that he agreed to pay the money. He and Bixby drifted apart at the breaking out of the Civil War, but years afterwards they met and took a journey together over the same stretches of river which they had traveled when Mark Twain was a pilot house cub. During the Civil War Bixby was confidential pilot for Commodores Foote and Davis of the Federal fleet, and he boasted that it was o-i his advice that Commodore Davis went into the battle of Memphis and turned apparent defeat into a victory.

Capt. Bixby married the daughter of the late Capt. Ed A. Shebley. also a famous rivernian.

Mark Tivaln'a Tribute. Samuel Ianghorne Clemens (Mark Twain), in his famous book, "Life on the Mississippi," pays many tributes to Horace E. Bixby's wonderful qualities as a Tiver pilot. One of the great humortst'sr anecdotes of Bixby tells how with several other pilots as his guests he rah the dangerous shoals at Hat Island, near Grand Tower, 111. "Well, yonder's Hat Island, and we can't make it," cried the other pilots.

Twain tells how Bixby stood by his wheel and nosed the big steamboat over the first reef and again encountered shallow water. Here is the climax of the feat, as told in Mark Twain's book: "We touched bottom. Instantly Mr. Bixby set a lot of bells ringing, shouted through the tube: 'Now let her have it every ounce you've got." Then, to his partner: "Put her hard down. Snatch t('rt v.
