Union Selling Go. Discovers Apparent
$1,000 shortage In Boston once.

RosToS, Mass, April Since the dis

Knapp, prominent member OF the Ancients
and Boston agent Of the Union Selling Com
pany Of New ork, an examination Of the
books Of the company has apparently reA
vealcd deficiency Of about $4,000.
Capt. Knapp was a trusted Official, and
the shortage l. attributed TO his illness.
When be lett the city he was in bad health.
1t is said that the Irregularities extend
over a very short time which gives strength
70 the theory that the shortage may he due
TO knapp's mental condition.
Horatio Davis, the manager of the Union
Selling Company, said to-day that he per-
sonally was wholly unable 10 account for
the condition Of the books. He had been
ssociated with Capt. Knapp for more than
twenty years, and had the greatest con-
fidence in his integrity.

never had any difficulty in getting my
ray We have some experts now working
on the books. We did not suspect that
there was anything irregular until about
ten days after Capt. Knapp went away.
While the examination Of the books has not

The Triangle" Has a Great Audience at
the Waldorf and Makes a Hlt.
Prinoeton's dramatic 80 ciety, the Triangle
Club, scored a hit last night with an orig
inal opera entitled The Pretcnders, which
1t presented in the grand ballroom Of the
Waldorf to very sympathetic audience.
The large ballroom and the tiers Of boxes
we're filed. Every song and every joke
Of the piece was created with enthusiasm.
The piece Is built on the usual comic
opera pAn-that Is, on no plan at all The
programme tells that an American named
Perkins, tired of his wife, fees TO a scaCirt
isle in the Egean sea. under Turkish rule.
II Is tbs Isle Of Apo OnaiTe and gives OPP
portunity for costume. The Americans
wife follows with her pretty daug hters
and they and the islanders generate comic
opera complications that solve themselves
in the end.
The music was pleasant and abounded
in catchy tunes. Songs entitled -BaChe-
lor's Honeymoon, "-Hotairy Mary, ''Gouse-
berry and Jimmy the Tout" made great
hits.
The most amusing side Of the production
came. Of coun4e, from the tender and
coquettish looking C!amsels, who spoke In
the cultural bass Of the football field. r.
S. RaTbee OF, and q. s. Warren, 'O7, made
particularly attractive girls. After the
performance players and audience sang
-Old Nassau"
Then came the locomotive yell 50 dear 10
the Princeton heart.
Mayor Mcclellan and manv o her promi-
nent PTincetonians were in = a audience.

GIRLS OFFENDED AT PASTOR.

Ahead Despite the Pastor With Their
Cake sale, which Proved successful.
PATERSON y. j.. April The Girls
Friendly Society Of Trinity Episcopal Par
ish in this city, has been taken aback by
the pastor Of their church, the Rev. Archi-
bald Judd, who issued to-day the following
letter;
10 whom IL may concern: feel that the
public should be warned that patronage OF
the persons who style themselves the Do
cesar Branch OF tho Girls Friendly Society
Of the Trinity Episcopal Church" Will ia no
wise benefit the church mentioned. There
IL no such organization connected with the
parish, nor has any sanction been given by
for any OF the events advertised under such
auspices. ARCHIBALD NJ. JUDD. Rector.
The trouble arises over a cake sale that
was given ny the society to-day at the home
Of Miss Lucy Allen 100 1otowa avenue
All the young women Interested in the sale
were indignant when they learned OF the
pastors letter informing the public that
their society was unauthorized. They
showed 70 their friends at the sale this after
noon that they had received permission
from Bishop Lines Of Newark 10 hold the
sale under the name Of their society, and said
that they would continue 10 hold all the
affairs that the society had under way.
The proceeds will he sent to Bishop Lines
for mission purposes.
The trouble really dates backto the time
when a reorganization took place as a re-
suit OF criticisms made by the rector IN re-
gard TO some Of the society's doings. A
consequence Of the reorganization was the
Withdrawal Of a great number Of the society,
who formed an association OF their own
outside the jurisdiction Of the rector, al
though they all remained Pensioners Of
Trinity Church To receive some manner
Of church sanction a committee Of the
young ladies visited Bishop Lines last week.
He advised them to place the words do
OCEAN Branch before the local title Of their
society. and said they then could engage
in Church work with impunity.
The Rev, Mr., Judd's letter was the result
OF the advertisement Of the cake sale. The
letter had no sooner been issued than the
brothers and friends Of the young women
get busy. Within two hours after the letter
was sent out. all the Totowa section Of the
city was placarded with posters and hand
bills telling Of the nice cake that would
be sold at Miss Allen =, and the result was a
large attendance and demand for cake
that soon exhausted the supply on hand.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-If anyone does
not believe that the United states
army is a democratic institution he
should have been at the wedding of
Forest franklin Lewis, private in
Company p, Eighth regiment, and
Miss Elizabeth Catherine Baker today
in st. Cornelius chapel, Governors
Island. Generals and colonels and
captains rubbed elbows" In genial
good fellowship with the privates.
When Mr.. Lewis and his bride took
a boat to start on their honeymoon
everyone cheered.
Maj Gen. and Mrs. F. d. Grant,
Maj. Gen. and Mrs Wade, Col Smith
and dozens of other officers were at
the wedding. 1t was the first on the
island in twenty-five years. Mr.. Lewis
is the first private ever married there.
Early in 1903 Mr.. Lewis, the son of
a wealthy merchant of Montpelier, VT,
found his health so impaired by study
in Goddard seminary that he resigned
His doctors told him that the best
thing that he could do would be to en-
list in the army. He now has only
eight months to serve. After the
honeymoon the bride will return to
her parents home to remain there
until the bridegroom's term of enlist
ment expires.

WITTE HOPES EoR PEACE
Socialists Still Stand Firm for
Freedom in Russia
IN AssocIated Press.

by Associated Press.
ST PETERSBURG, Nov. S.-Pros-
poets are growing brighter for work
ing combination between Witte and the
conservative faction of the Constitu-
tional Democrats and the wing of the
zemstvoists which was left behind III
the rapid development of reform ideas
of congresses.
The resignation of Gen. Trepoff and
his nomination as post commander of
the imperial palace is generally re-
ported in the city tonight. Count Witte,
who has been in constant communica-
tion with prominent members of the
constitutional Democrat party for sew
eral days and who has steadily been in
formed that the dismissal of Trepoff is
an Indispensable preliminary to any CO.
operation of that party, seems finally to
have yielded this condition.
Count Witte was favored by a split
which manifested itself in a meeting
of prominent st. Petersburg members
of the party this evening. While a
strong faction declared for a hard and
fast union of Radicals, the Socialists,
until the work of freedom shall have
been completed by the convocation of
constituent assembly, majority seemed
inclined to come to the support of
Count Witte, provided that sufficient
guarantees be given for the carrying
out of the promises contained in the i'm
perial manifesto and of Count Whites
announced program in full and in good
faith.
The central figure of the gathering
was Peter Struve, editor of the Osvo-
lojdenie, the editions of which for years
had to be printed on tissue paper and
smuggled into Russia in the form of
letters, the mere possession of which
constituted crime. NJ. StruVe
strangely enough is aligned with the
Conservative Democratic party.
Prince Sviatpolk Mirsky, former min
lister of the interior, left Karkof today
for st. Petersburg in response to a
summons from Count Witte. This fact
has aroused gossip that the prince will
be offered a portfolio in the new cab
met, but in well Informed circles doubt
ia expressed that he will become one of
the premier's advisers M. Guchkoff. a
prominent member of the MOSCOW
zemstvo, will probably be named as
the first head of the new ministry of
commerce, a ukase creating which was
gaZetted TODAY.

PRIZES FOR BABIES
Chicago Woman Says City Should
Reward Parents of Healthy
Infants
Special to The Herald.

SpeClal TO Inc Herald.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-"Cash for
Healthy Babies" and "Ofice of Baby
Commissioner" are two signs needed
at the city hall, according to Miss Har-
riet Fulmer, member of the City Wis.,
iting Nurses association, who delivered
an address before the West End Wo-
mans club, 1872 Ashland boulevard,
yesterday afternoon. Miss Fulmers S
subject was the unhealthy condition of
babies in the congested districts of the
city.
Sh told of the method Napoleon
Bonaparte adopted, by which he gave
the mother of each newly born child
a gold piece, and duplicated the pres
ent if the baby was shown to be in Il
healthy condition when it was four
months old. The inference was that
if Mayor Dunno would make similar
offer the population of Chicago would
be increased materially.
Miss Fulmer told of the success of
the tent hospital for babies, expert
mented with last summer in the Polish
district on Locust street. Only two
deaths occurred among the 316 babies
cared for, while previous to last sum-
mer the district had a larger baby
mortality than any other district in the
city The speaker urged the club wo-
men W hidNe uelil'tli VII lhe Spe'ldi
park commissioners, that many baby
hospitals be established in the con-
gested districts during the summe"
months.
The entire afternoon was devoted to
telling of the condition of children of
Chicago Hastings Fl. Hart, superin-
tendent of the Home Finders associa
ton, stated that his work had reached
such proportions that new receiv-
ing home will be built in Englewood.
The association found homes for 52s
Chicago boys and girls during the last
year.
