ment yesterday morning against
Adolph Steffens, the intimate friend of
Wyman, who is likewise charged with
stuffing in the Seventy-third precinct
Judge Lawlor fixed bail at $4,000. When
the police sought to serve the bench
warrant Steffens could not be found
and he is still in hiding. Captain of
Detectives Martin appeared to have no
misgiving last night that his quarry
had fed the city. "He is thoughtfully
keeping away from us until he gets
his bond ready" said the captain.
Steffens has recently been appointed
a truckman in the Fire Department,
but yesterday was his day off, He was
formerly a teamster in the department
and previously to this employment was
a street car conductor. His home is
with his mother and brother at 2711A
Suffer street, but no one there knew of
his whereabouts. It is believed that
he will remain in hiding till to-day or
Monday.
The accusation against Steffens is
that he illegally voted the name of c.

ton Is Dangerous Maneuver.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. S0.-The
Novoe Vremya. commenting upon the
hostility shown by other powers toward
Russia, says:
Russia is now. carrying on two wars
the sanguinary conflict in. the Far
East and a bloodless diplomatic one
in the courts of Europe"
The article concludes:
"All these talks of peace conference
and intervention are simply dangerous
maneuvers-flanking, turning move
ments, so to speak. But when the ma
tons of the world cry out against the
inhumanity Of this war, they must re-
member that we did not start 1t. 1t is
unnecessary for US to shade or soften
the picture of the horrors being en-
acted in the Far East. Let. us only
hope that our diplomatic battle will be
won ultimately as surely as the other.
