'PROSPERITY IS DIMINISHING' We Realize La Fol-lette Has No New York Trades Declare, Withdrawing Indorsement.

1,111 ii ii i ii ii 1 a PROF. OHLE of Washington University argues that the best thing to help St. Louis get rid of the fearful smoke nuisance would be a long series of horrible days like those in the past week; that such a condition would arouse people to action. Doubtless he is rlgnt. The recent horror has already had a wholesome effect.

The smoke authorities are interested at last. They hav heard from public opinion. They -will hear more. The esteemed professor seems to despair of an official activity that will be efficient. He recommends a friendly rivalry between clubs organizations to ensure smoke elimination.

He hopes to see the Rotary, Kiwanis and such -groups of public-spirited men take a hand in the matter. He advises prizes for the best records of improvement. He points to the success in Parkview resulting from such methods. That is a good plan, and it is to be hoped that it may be carried out. The Star will gladly give proper space to such programs.

Which big club will lead off in this laudable movement? But why should the public in desperation take over altogether privately a job that they have provided for in the municipal government? Why should they waste 120,000 a year in an Ineffective bureau? Why should they admit that municipal government is a failure? Why should they not make public officials realize that "public office is a. public trust?" Why should they not demand the utmost activity on the part of the Director of Public Safety and of the Smoke Commissioner? As The Star said some days ago, public opinion is all-powerful. It can move politicians, even when they smile sardonically, and say to themselves, "The public will soon forget." The chief thing for every uncomfortable, injured, disgusted citizen to do is to kick kick longyand hard and loud. If that program is followed eteadily for some weeks, there will be punishments for violations of the smoke laws. There will be respect for the authority of that law.

There will be general understanding that a reckless waster of coal can't be allowed to ram his costly soot down his neighbor's throat. Prof. Ohle has been eminently right in one of his premises "St. Louis does not yet really want to get rid of its smoke." Shall his view remain true? The Star believes the people want to get rid of the miserable, unnecessary smoke. It will continue to act on that judgment.

How much do they want to be rid of it? What will they do? SPORT -ir FRICJi TWO CENTS an TELLS OF MEETING OFGANG Declares He Is Sure Proprietor of Maxwelton Inn Conferred With Others About Bonds.

RENARD RETURNS TO GO ON STAND AGAINST COLBECK Authorities Carefully Guard Whereabouts of Gangster Long Marked for Death.

Ray Renard, former Egan gang-J ster, long marked for death the only punishment the underworld considers sufficient for snitching is held in the federal building under heavy, guard, waiting to testify against his former chief, William P. (Dinty) Colbeck, head Of the gang, it was learned Colbeck and nine others, many of them gangsters, are on trial in United States District Judge Farls court, charged with the $2,400,000 mail robbery here on April 2, 1923. Renard, brought back from a federal prison, where he is serving a 7-year term for stealing from an interstate shipment, has been kept in hiding, guarded at all times from any attempt on his life. He has been carefully concealed since his arrival in St, Louis. It is understood that he has been sleeping at the city Jail and has been kept elsewhere during the day.

This morning, it was said, he was In the office of the postoffice inspectors in the federal building. The inspectors would not discuss the matter. The office was kept locked and a heavy guard of inspectors and detectives was always on hand. It was learned today that the alarm at the city jail rang Wednesday night and a sfjuad of fifteen police were rushed there, thinking that some attempt might be made against Renard's life. An affidavit made by Renard in the penitentiary was part of the evidence submitted to the grand Jury, which returned the indictment against the gangsters and others in the mall robbery.

To be competent at the trial this evidence must be given by Renard in person, the constitution providing that all persons accused of crime must be confronted by the witnesses against them. From a source regarded as clone tj the "inside," it was reported that Renard was in splendid physical condition and eager to take the stand and tell what he know about the mall truck robbery and his former companions. Prison diet is said to have improved his health and appearance so that his former companions will be amazed the change.

(B I. N.S.) The chemical warfare service of the army is making researches to develop the possible war use of the "looney gas" which has caused five deaths in New-Jersey, Brig. Gen. Amas A. Fries, chief of the service, announced this aiternoon.

Sale Is lTohibtted. NEW YORK. Oct. 31. (By V.

New York state and New Jersey have prohibited the sale of gasoline mixed with tetra-ethyl lead, manufacture of which has caused the death of five men and partial insanity of thirty-two others. These victims were exposed to the gas fumes caused by the com pound in the Bay way. N. laboratory of the Standard Oil Company, which has since been closed. Dr.

Maxim Tourte announces a remedy for lead poisoning which has been used on the afflicted men. It consists of a solution which, when injected, dissolves the lead in the tissues of the body and a dose which when swallowed dispels the gas. Tetraethyl gas is not dangerous tit motorists or garage mechanics, but it is a menace in big industrial plants where it is handled in concentrated form. Dr. E.

K. Smith, famous toxlcolorrist, sai-j "The substance is dangerous because of its cumulative effects," declared. "By the time the symp-oms. appear, the danger point ha; been reached, so we cannot rely on premonitary symptoms to guide us against the dinger that comes fiom contact wit the liquid or ib vapors." Dr. Smith said motorists and mechanics who handled gasoline would not be poisoned because the tetraethyl lead is highly diluted by the time it reaches the filling stations.

It is mixed with gasoline to take the "knock" out of the gasoline. Tetraethyl lead gas drives a victim insane, he explained, through its action on the nervous system, the cells of which readily take it up. The cells which become poisoned are those used in thought and reasoning. HUNT FOR LIVE DINOSAUR IN ANDES IS ANNOUNCED BCEXOS AIRES. Oct.
