C. Davis, manager of the Eeast St. Louis company, and Edward F. Goltra, Ice president and general manager of the American Steel Foundries Company at City. Mr.

Schwab was met at the Planters by a crowd of newspaper men. business associates and friends. "What Is the score?" was his first query as a group closed around him. "How about the team that Is never beaten the Pltts-burgs?" Havlnc looked at the printed scores he said to the group: "I have Just taken a bath, but I declare the water was frightfully muddy." SALOONKEEPER'S SON NOW A PREACHER The Reverend Edward Rinkel Tells How He Became Disgusted With the Liquor Business. That a man whose antecedents represented three generations of saloonkeepers and who, himself, was raised from childhood behind a bar, could be converted to the Church beliefs and practice seems -ery improbable, but persons who attend the tent prayer meeting in Oxford place Monday night heard the experience of such a.

man. The Reverend Edward Rinkel. pastor of the Oak Hill M. E. Church.

South, Those father for many jcars conducted Rlnkel's Grove on Easton avenue, near Hamilton, told the story of his extraordinary career in the presence of a great gathering at the tent meeUng after he had been called upon to testify as to hisofaith in God. His father saloonkesper. Edward knew no other training until he was 15 years old than that which he received In the barroom. Being thus thrown among rough companions he became wayward and ran away from the parental roof to shift for himself while very young. ''Before I was 15 1 had dished out enough beer and whisky over my father's bar to float a steamboat, ind I was so thoroughly soaked with ii'e liquor myrelf that smelled like a distiller'." said he.

In giving his testimony. After, leaving home he went to Tennessee, and there fell in with a family of Methodists who did their worshiping at home. He was willing to try Christianity, so ho began praying. That was twenty years ago. said he.

After several years spent with his religious benefactors in Tennessee, young Rinkel returned to fit Louis, and for time attended the services of the Centenarv Church at Sixteenth and Pine streets. which the late Reverend Joseph W. Lewis was pastor. With sixty others he arose one night for prayer and declared his Intention to become a worker for the church. Later he entered Central College at Fayette, and when 22 years old he was ordained a deacon and admitted to the Southeast Conference.

Two years later he became an elder, and was assigned to the Oak Hill Church, where he is still pastor. "My father, who died wealthy, cut me off in his will with a dollar because I woul 1 not give up preaching," said the Reverend Mr. RlnkeL Rlnkel's saloon and garden, on Easton avenue, is still in existence, and Is being-conducted by Adolph Rinkel, a younger brother of Edward. SCHWAB. tho United States Steel Corporation, who Is East Side properties.

"I walked on mud in my tub." rejoined another. WILL ENLARGE EAST ST LOUIS PLANTS. "We looked over the plant? which oar company has acquired." said Mr. Schwab. In answer to queries from the newspaper men, "and are much pleased.

We came hero quietly and expect to go away In the morning. No. we were not invited by the business men to come here, but came of our own volition to inspect the two East Side establishments. We have nothing to do with the United States Steel Corporation. We are enUrely independent.

Our field is steel castings, and to we are not even competitors. We will continue to operate the plants here, and will enlarge them. We are increasing and developing our business as fast as possible, and expansion is the rule. There will he no shutting down. To familiarize ourselves with conditions we looked over the ground to see what Is needed.

"I havo been abroad for five so I am not familiar with the situation In the United States of late. You say that the Steel Trust has turned down orders and permitted them to go abroad? Well, that is quite likely from what I have as all their plants arc working to full capacity. The steel business is growing remarkably. I know nothing about your terminal situation In St. Louis, and did not get much opportunity to observe It.

St. Louis looks mighty prosperous. I should say." Then Mr. Schwab and his associates returned to the subject of muddy water, nnd he told of the mud baths ho took In Carlsbad "And were you at Monte Carlo?" some one ventured to ask. "No, I was not.

and, by the way. don't any of you newsparer men say Monte Carlo to my brother," the distinguished visitor sold aside. "It Isn't advisable to mention that place to him any more." The Lelghton-Howard plant employ 1,400 men, and the American Steel Foundries plant employs CCO. It Is likely that these forces will be greatly augmentcJ, and that the suburban population of St. Louis will be substantially increased.

CITY WARDS WILL BE REARRANGED, Municipal Authorities Discussing Plans to Hake an Equitable Apportioument. Municipal authorities of East SL Louis are working on the problem nf the rearrangement of the various wards of the city in consequence of the annexation of Wlnstanley Park and other" contiguous territory this year. This territory must have representation in the City Council, and the residents must have an opportunity to vote. As yet no polling places have been fixed for thm. and the Board of Election Commissioners has asked the city officials to rearrange the wards, or furnish the lines for the extension of the old wards, eo zs to take in the new territory- It Is i-jtpectcd that the subject will come up at the next meeting of the City Council.

A dozen clans have been presented looking to the solution of the problem of the rearrangement, but all have more or less flaws. One plan which seems to meet with some approval Is to combine the First Ward, which Is that part of East St. Loals known as theIsland. with Whlrky Ccute. which Is now a precinct in the Seventh Ward.

This would give the Seventh Ward room for additional territory, and the lines of the other wards could be extended, it is thought, to meet the present needs. Still another plan is to redistrict the city according to population, but this plan does not seem to be In much favor. Fl'XEIlAL OP THE "DIXICIES."
