A Wealthy Couple Trying to Eradicate
DepravitY in Gotham.

| Depravity in Gotham.
| New York, Nov. 16.-In pursuit OF
their desire to assist the poor and up
lift the deprayed, Robert Hunter and
his wife, the daughter of the multi
millionaire Anson Phelps Stokes, have
forsaken their country residence in
Noroton, Conn, and their mansion in
Madison avenue for a small brick
house in Grove street on the West
Side.
Both sides have devoted several
years TO work in the slums and were
married two years ago while Mr.. Hun.
ter formerly of Chicago, was in
charge of the university settlement.
The decision to settle in Grove
street was made after long study of the
conditions in the lowly quarters of the
city.
For more than two generations this
section has been looked upon as one
of the blots on the city. The place
is never without patrolman, one be-
ing [ tailed especially for duty in the
street, more than 800 yards in length.
Fogarty line is in the heart of the Red
Light district, but the red lights are
disappearing and in their stead have
come filthy houses. In the last couple
Of years tenement houses of the &C.
cepted East Side model have begun
to replace the low, old-fashioned brick
structures, and this has made more
pressing the demand for the judicious
settlement work. The mission work
ers say the district is now in more
need of attention from the charitable
and the sympathetic rich than any
other quarter in Manhattan.

The Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Restoropny has been blown up by her
commander in the harbor of Che Foo
after having eluded the blockade of
Port Arthur, and insisted on filing dis
patches from General Stoessel to St.

1t is presumed that she was destroy

A trip from st. Petersburg says the

1t is surmised from the fact that a

Arthur and exposed to a large risk
Of destruction or capture that the dis

Interviews with the Resotorpny's of

building on the Bowery were thrown
into panic by fire today, but by the

men and volunteer rescuers, all were
taken out in safety. The building was
practically destroyed, surface cars on
the Bowery and Houston street were
blocked for half an hour and uptown
elevated trains for 10 minutes, at the
height of the morning rush.
The fire started in the central knit
ting mill on the second floor, probably
from defective insulation of electrical
wires and within a few minutes the
flames were sweeping up the halls to
the floors above.
Nearly all the persons in the build.
ing were employed in a coat factory
on the top floor and a moment after
the smoke and flames poured up
through the halls, the fire escapes on
the Bowery side of the building were
choked by crowds of frenzied men and
women.
Stairways were impossible and the
small fire escapes were taxed far be-
yond their capacity by the time the
f1remen arrived, and the flames were
shooting out of the front windows and
making a blazing wall to cut off those
above the second floor.
The position of the men and women
on the fire escapes was becoming more
and more desperate every moment,
when long ladders which cleared the
wall of flame below, were run up to
the rescue. Then, under the direc.
ton of firemen and volunteers, the
ones on the escapes were brought safe.
ly to the ground.
Many women on the third floor who
were out of reach of the ladders, were
taken across a narrow areaway to an
adjoining building on living chain
formed by the firemen.
A few minutes after a part Of the
building was q sea of fire and before
the flames were subdued, the building
was practically destroyed.

Si0 COO, NOS. 1o.--Z . 81 p. III -
The captain of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer Ratstoropny, which put
in this harbor early this morning, has
notified the Chinese authorities that
he will disarm. 1t is believed that
this decision was arrived at after com
munication with st. Petersburg.
There is reason to believe that the
Japanese cruisers have been watching
the port, although a steamer which has
just arrived saw no Japanese vessels.
1t is reported that the Russian tor.
pedo boat destroyer Ratstoropny,
which has put into this port, brought a
dispatch from General Stoessel asking
the st. Petersburg authorities for In
structions as to whether he would con.
tinue to hold out, awaiting relief, or
make immediate arrangements with
the Japanese for surrender on the most
advantageous terms possible. This ru4

The commander of the torpedo boat

that all the forts remained in Ras.
sian hands and that the garrison was
confident and in good spirits.
The former Russian governor of
Port Dalny, M. Sakharoff, died recent
ly at Port Arthur, on enteric fever.
Commander Pelem added that the de.
stroyer's object was simply to carry
dispatches. The other Russian ships
remained at Port Arthur.
The Restoropny being one of the
fastest of the Russian vessels, soon
outdistanced her pursuers and entered
Che Foo with a music box playing a
sprightly air, and the savory odor oil

ing to the fact that Port Arthur stin

The destroyer sped in like an ar
row at $50 a. M, and anchored a few
hundred yards abaft the United States
cruiser New Orleans, the flagship OF
Rear Admiral Folgar, commander OF
the cruising squadron of the Asiatic
feet.
Chinese cruiser Hal Yung raised
steam within 20 minutes and came
close to the Restoropny. Captain
Ching, of the Hal Yung, boarded her,
and held a brief conference with Com
mander Pelham. Ensign Wainwright,
Rear Admiral Folger's aide, boarded
the Restoropny Immediately, but he
and Captain Ching were not invited to
enter the Restoropnys cabin, although
blizzard was cutting their faces.
Captain Ching notified Commander
Pelem that "a hours was the limit OF
the time he could remain armed at
Che Foo, after which the Restoropny
would be compelled to disarm while
delivering this ultimatum Russian
sailors, who semed to be healthy and
care-free.

HORTON BOUND OVER.
Alleged Forger Valves the PreIimin-
airy Examination.
From WednesdaY'S Daily

Sheriff Williams returned last eve
ming with o. w. Horton, whose arrest
in Minneapolis was mentioned by The
Free Press yesterday. He had his ar
raignment this afternoon before Special
Judge Ogle, ON the warrant issued
Oct. 9TH, 1903, charging him with for
gerry in the second degree, committed
Aug. Sd, 1902. He waived an eXamina-
tion and was bound over to the grand
jury and committed to Jail. The NUM-
cipal court does not have authority to
fix bail in such cases.
Horton stated to Free Press reporter
this afternoon that he would admit that
he forged his mothers name to a note
for $40 given by him to ii. p. Jensen
of this city in part payment for a bug
gy. He said that he could have paid the
note when it came due and there would
have been no trouble, but he got sore
at Mr.. Jensen and didn't want him to
get the money. He thought that the
warrant became void after six months.
When he left this section over a year
ago, he went to the twin cities, then
through twelve western states, selling
patented articles and territory rights to
agents. He returned to Minneapolis last
Saturday night, and was working in a
livery stable there when Sheriff Williams
found him.
Sheriff Forsyth of st. James, who as
sisted Sheriff Williams in locating Hor-
ton, stated that the man is wanted in
Colorado and Nebraska for Offenses COM
mitted there. Horton denies this, and
says that he got into no trouble there.
Horton is good natured about his ar
rest, and takes the matter coolly. He is
single man, and says he will not ask
his mother for help.
