PEACE TREATY
NOW EFFECTIVE
ROOSEVELT is FIRST TO BE
NOTIFIED
This Is Done as Mark of Appre-
citation of the Part He Took in
Bringing the War to
an End
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 15.-The
ratification of the treaty of peace is
formally announced this morning in the
official Messenger, which says that It's
operation began yesterday. The text
of the treaty is not given.
AS a graceful mark Of appreciation
on the part he took in bringing about
the conference at Portsmouth and the
resultant peace, President Roosevelt
was the first person to be notified by
the Russian government that Emperor
Nicholas had ratified the treaty. AS
soon as the emperor's signature had
been affixed to the instrument and be-
fore the treaty had been brought back
from Peterhof for the counter signature
of Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, the
news was sent directly to the presi-
dent. The official notification to the
French government, according to the
foreign office, followed several hours
later, when Count Lamsdorff had COM
pleted the ratification by his signature.
The government took steps to make
known to the people Of Russia the fact
that the emperor had signed the treaty
before the receipt of the official noti-
fication that the instrument had been
ratined by the signature OF tne elu-
peror of Japan and the first news
therefore was communicated through
the Associated Press dispatch from
Washington.
AS soon as the treaty had been fully
ratified the foreign office communicated
the fact to the war, navy and other
ministries and the necessary orders
were Immediately issued to bring home
some of the ships interned in neutral
harbors.
The date for the exchange Of pris-
oners of war has not yet been fixed
Thomas Smith, American vice consul
at Moscow, sent to Medvid today sew
eral thousand rubles which had been
received from Japan for the Japanese
prisoners there.

The Insurance Scandal

DR.. Parkhurst speaking of the i'm
morality reached by the life insurance
investigation, calls upon the church to
do it's part toward raising the standard
of the business methods.
"I am amazed said DR.. Parkhurst,
"at the candor-no, not the candor-the
brazen effrontery with which the ad-
missions of Mccall and others were
volunteered during their testimony be-
fore the Armstrong legislative COM
mittee.
1T is shocking to consider these rev.
elations. 1t is shown that the conduct
of important financial affairs is sur
rounded by an atmosphere of immoral
ity. 1 don't mean to say Mccall Is
alone in this. There are more behind
him. 1t has been impossible for one
man to transact such affairs alone.
mot alone is it the duty Of those
charged with the prosecution of vio-
lators of the laws and of honesty and
integrity to push these cases, but it is
the duty of the church, irrespective of
creed or denomination, to use them as
texts for sermons tending to raise the
standard of Christian morality. / in
tend doing so from my own pulpit"

FORGERY BY PROXY
Peculiar Duty Required of a New
Office Boy in an English
Cifu
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, Oct. 15.--A few days ago
a youth who had just left school an
swered an advertisement in a Man
chester paper. On Saturday last he
was summoned by telegram to an
office in Pail Mall. Manchester, and on
arrival was shown to a room at the
top of the building. With the excep-
ton of a table and chair the room was
bare of furniture.
The boy was received by a we'll
dressed man who, after putting some
questions to him, engaged him as office
boy at seven shillings a week.
He was then asked If he was a good
writer. He answered in the affirm
ative, and the man thereupon produced
a check book and showing the boy a
name written on a piece of paper he
told him to make out a check in that
name to self or bearer for $50.
This the boy did, and his employer
then told him to go to the bank after
IL o'clock that morning and cash the
check. He was then to return to the
office and leave the money, wrapped
in brown paper, in the fire crate.
'You can take fourteen shillings out
of the money, my lad said the man.
Seven shillings for one weeks wage
and the other seven for weeks holi-
day. You need not come back to the
office until 1 summon you"
The boy left the building, went to
the bank, cashed the check and, re-
turning to the office" left the money
wrapped in paper in She fire crate.
He then went home and told his
parents about his strange employer.
Their suspicious We're aroused, and,
going to the bank where the check
had been cashed they communicated
them to the bankers.
Strange to say, the bank people were
satisfied that the cheque was good. 1t
had been drawn on a substantial ac-
count of many years standing.
They communicated, nevertheless,
with the gentleman whose name ap-
peared on the check, and to their as
tonishment learned that he had drawn
no money that morning.
The police were at once called in,
but the money and the man had dis
appeared and no clew has as yet been
obtained to the identity of the clever
forger- by proxy.

Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-According to
statements made by the University
Settlement workers there is a return of
vice on the lower east side from which
1t was thought to be almost eradicated
The cause of this evil recrudescence is
the transfer of Inspector Schmittberger
to another section of the metropolis
The workers say that designing women
and their companions are slowly peop-
ling the old haunts again, and 1t is only
a question Of few days when the entire
district will be filled with procurers and
streetwalkers and the dives will be
throwing open their doors to all forms
of crime. The procurers began their
pernicious activity the moment Inspec-
tor Schmittberger got out of the dis
trict. One of the forms the System"
has introduced, say the workers, is
parading designing women throughout
the district clad in the garb of fortune
tellers, who hire children to distribute
their circulars announcing the new in
dustry and the address. In this way,

already been allured to disorderly re-
sorts,

They We're without escort. Lonely
bachelors on the curb began to take

Moved From San Francisco

Archbishop Tikhon of the Russian
church in the United States and
Canada, who recently transferred his
seat from San Francisco to st. Nicholas
Russian church here, comforting on it
thereby the title of cathedral, conducted
his first service last Sunday. IT am
glad to be with you in the east" he
said. 1T is more becoming, more be-
fitting, that the headquarters of the
diocese should be nearer to Russia. In
San Francisco 1 was the width Of the
continent farther from the nearest port
of communication" Fully 500 Russians
attended the service, which began with
hearing of confessions by the arch
bishop and his assistants, followed by
the administering of the communion
by the archbishop and the professional,
during which the whole congregation
filed past the archbishop, receiving his
blessing and kissing his crucitix.

HARRISONVILLE, Mo-, Oct. 15-At
the next meeting of the Cass County
Anti-Horse Thief association there will
probably be submitted for a vote
whether the association will prosecute
certain citizens for stealing milk. The
members have at various times appre-
hended chicken thieves, besides horse
thieves, but they are in doubt just what
to do in the case now under advise
ment.
A farmer was recently discovered at
midnight, near Kimpton, milking his
neighbors COWS. The man has been
known for some time to be selling more
butter and milk than he could obtain
from his own small herd.
The offence is a novel one in this
county and the owner of the COWS
wants the association to aid in the
prosecution.

MORE LIGHT ON
BERKELEY CRIME
ONCE HID ANDREWS
IN DENVER
Ellis Story Gives the Police Facts
Enough to Trace Subsequent
Movements of the
Couple
BY Associated Press.


! BERKELEY, Oct. 15.-As the result
of lengthy conference tonight with
| William Ellis Of Australia, who lies in
the hospital with fractured skull in
fiicted, it is alleged, by man known
as Brush, alias Curtis, and when it is
further alleged, is Milton Franklin An
drews, accused of the murder of Bessie
Bouton near Colorado Springs. Mar
shall Vollmer learned that the unknown
woman who is alleged to have played
part in the scheme to end Ellis life
in Berkeley once succeeded in keeping
Andrews hidden in Denver for two
months.
According to Ellis, whose additional
story tonight has given the police the
opportunity to trace the movements of
Brush and the woman ever since they
left Colorado Springs, Brush made a
confession to him October when he
spent the night in the house rented by
the pair in Berkeley. Ellis said that
Andrews told him while Brush and the
woman were in Denver she went out
disguised to procure food, going about
the city without fear of detection.
On leaving Denver the pair went
directly to Vancouver from where they
tralia, where they lived until departing
on the Sierra about eight weeks ago for
San Francisco. Ellis accompanied
them, and they made their first stop at
New Zealand. From there they went
to Honolulu, finally leaving the islands
twenty days ago for San Francisco.
While in Australia Brush, Ellis said,
entered in all manner of confidence
games, and according to Ellis they
WEIGHED on bets at the Kensington race
track. This was their chief reason for
leaving Australia.
In the Antipodes Brush lived under
the name of Clayton Hill, which he told
Ellis was his true name. Brush told
Ellis that his reason for hiding in
Denver was to escape the police, who
wanted him in connection with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 from a Denver
firm. A young man was arrested for
the theft, and Brush stated that he had
secured the money from him in card
game.
1t is believed by the local police that
Brush and the woman who accom-
parlies him are located in San Fran
cisco and that their apprehension will
be a matter of but short time.
Chief of Police Vollmer now holds to
the theory that the attempt was made
to murder Ellis by his friends, who
were in dire straits for money. Ellis
said tonight that Brush further told
him that the woman lie was with Is a
French Canadian whom he first met in

LONDON, Oct. 16.-That the body of
Sir Henry Irving should find resting
place in Westminster abbey appears
to be a very general desire. An edit
orial in this mornings Daily Tele-
graph says:
1.-THE nation win, we are persuaded
to believe, ask this honor for him with
no uncertain voice, and we know we
interpret the wish and feeling of the
country when we plead for public
interment in the abbey"
The flood of tributes of admiration
and affection is increasing. From King
Edward downward men of all classes,
including the great churchmen, are
giving public expressions of their feel
ings on the sad occasion, nearly all
dwelling as much on Sir Henry's per-
Sonal character as on his histrionic
talents.
1t seems to be beyond doubt that
Irving sacrificed himself by hard work
He had been advised q long time ago
to give up arduous roles like that of
Matthias in THE Bells" owing to
the strain thrown on his weak heart,
and only last week he had been reluc-
tantly persuaded to omit The Bells
in future
1t appears that for several years past

an undue strain on the heart. Sir
Charles Wyndham says that in Febru-
ary last he begged Sir Henry to take
warning and not to burn the candle
at both ends with receptions in the
morning and eXacting performances
in the evening.
Many interesting touches are re-
vealed in the tributes of Sir Henry's
friends. For instance, Forbes Robert

Martin were among the veterans who
hastened to express the extent OF the
loss the world has sustained in the
death of the distinguished histrion.
Nothing has yet been decided as to the
funeral arrangements, pending the
meeting of the theatrical managers
which Sir Charles Wyndham has called
for today and which robably will de-
eide to ask the dean of Westminster
abbey to permit interment in the
abbey.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra,
through Sir Gen. Brighton McNaughton
Probyn, keeper of the privy purse and
extra equerry to the king, today sent a
message of sympathy to the family of
Sir Henry Irving, in which their ma
jesties say:
He will indeed be great loss to the
profession of which he was such dis
tinguished member"
Messages of sympathy have also been
received from President Roosevelt and
from DIR. Jules Clarettie, on behalf Of
