bell1gerents actually are brought to-
gether on common basis of under
standing the possibility of hitch
must be taken into account.
Among the members of the diplo-
matte corps the formal response of the
Russian government to the Presidents
appeal for a cessation of hostilities
was received with keen interest. It
was made the subject of conference
at the White House yesterday between
the President and Minister Takahira.
The details were not disclosed, but
last night Mr.. Takahira intimated
strongly that the negotiations were
proceeding smoothly.
In other diplomatic quarters it was
said that possibly too optimistic
view of the situation generally was
being taken. This idea, coupled with
a call of M Jusserand, the French am
bassador, at the White House, last
night lead to a rumor extensively cir
culated that something akin to
hitch in the peace proceedings actually
had occurred.
Jusserand Is Summoned.
Ambassador Jusserand returned
last night from West Point where he
went to deliver an address. At his
embassy he found a note from Presi-
dent Roosevelt requesting him to call
at the White House. He reached the
Presidents home at 9:15 p. m. and re-
manned with the President until II
O'clock. To representative of The
Associated Press Ambassador Jusser-
and, after the conference, said it
would be discourteous to the Presi-
dent for him to discuss for publication
the direct question whether a hitch
he replied frankly that he had heard of
peace was not the principal subject of
far as he was aware, he said, there
status of the negotiations.
White House Still Medium.
Direct com munication between st.
Petersburg and Toxic has not yet been
established. The White House is yet
the medium for all communications
between the two capitals. Important
details remain to be agreed upon be-
fore the plenipotentiaries of the bellig.
erents can meet to discuss the means
of ending the war. There is adequate
authority for the statement that there
is no actual hitch in the preliminary
negotiations. A diplomat explained
the situation last night when he said
that certain optimists had succeeded
in getting ahead of the actual status
quo of the negotiations. "These opti-
mists," he added, naturally become
alarmed when they find that the nego-
tiations are not keeping pace with
their predictions and straightway
they announce hitch in the negotia-

by the pupils, the same as is done in
many day schools and that this plan
assisted materially in promoting the
school.
Aims Of the Sunday School.
The three great aims of the Sunday
school, Mrs. Walker said, were to win
the students to Jesus, to build them up
in Jesus, and to train Christian work
ers. This was the work of the Master
on earth and no greater mission was
ever given to human being.
Rev. r. L. Marsh Talks.
Childhood, Its Claims on the Church
of This Century, was the subject Of
an interesting talk, by Rev. r. L.
Marsh, pastor Of the Congregational
church Of Burlington. Rev. Marsh be-
gan his talk with the story Of the prod
igal son, and said that he had once
told it to young girl who had been
attending Sunday school for several
years and that she did not recognize
it. He emphasized the need of bible
study in the Sunday schools and the
responsibility of the church toward
the children. Every child he said is
born with good and evil tendencies.
The human being, is by nature re-
ligious and it is the duty of the church
to see that these children receive the
proper instruction while they are
young.
The evening service closed with a
song by the congregation and Rev. P.
A. Johnson, pastor Of the First Con
gregational church, pronounced the
penediction.

Supreme Court of the United
States. If every senator who is
guilty of fraud was convicted
of his crime there would be few

MAYOR MAKES
APPOINTMENT
Confirms Calls Prediction
by Naming DIR. Jules Simon
Member of Health Board
NAY PROMOTE ALTMAN
Rumor That School Director
Will Go on Works Board.
Oliver May Succeed Him

Mayor Schmitz yesterday announced
the appointment of DR.. Jules Arthur
Simon as a member of the Board OF
Health. The appointment was exclu-
sively foretold in The Call more than
three weeks ago. DR.. Simon takes the
place made vacant by the resignation
of DR.. J. C. Stinson.
Dr. Simon qualified Immediately by
filing his oath of Office and Will assume
his new duties at cnce. A special meet
ing of the Health Board will be called
by President Ward to induct the new
member into Office.
DIR. Simon is a physician OF nigh
standing and a specialist on nervous
and mental diseases. He graduated
from the medical department of the
University of California in 1875. Short
ly afterward he went to Paris, and
after serving as inferno in the Hospi-
tai de Rothschild from 1880 to 1882 he
became a member of the Faculty of
Medicine in 1888 Returning to this
country he was clinical instructor on
nervous diseases from 1884 to 1890 and
was member of the State Board of
Medical Examiners from 1887 to 1889.
He holds memberships in number OF
medical associations.
The political wiseacres are figuring
on a shift to be made on the commits
sons to which appointments will be
made by Mayor Schmitz on January 8.
1t is said that the Mayor contemplates
the transfer of a. member of the Board
of Education, probably Director A. Alt
mann, to the Board of Public Works,
leaving a vacancy for David J. oliver
Jr., who has been assured that he will
receive some appointment. In that case
the hopes of Thomas +. Egan will be
disappointed. DIR. Joseph Poheim
looms up as a strong candidate for Po-
lice Commissioner, though Dr. George
Drucker and Arthur Dudley Cross are
mentioned for that post. Commission
ers Wreden, Voorsanger and Rogers
are sure of reappointment and William
H. MetsCn is hopeful of being made

RESTAURANT MAN is HELD
Up ON HIS OWN DOORSTEP

William Berger was held up on
Thursday night as he was leaving the
Walton grill. ASP Ellis street. and now
lies in his room in a very badly bat
tered condition. He says the attack
upon him was a clear case of hold-up
by William Smith, man who had
been in his employ for about two
weeks. During this period every night
when Berger was counting the cash
Smith was by and always took an in
terest in the proceeding.
Smith left Berger's employment of
his own accord about ten days ago.
Since then he has been lettering
around and several of the neighbors
have noticed him peeking over the
fence and watching what was going
on in Berger's place, the Walton grill,
425 Ellis street. On the night of the
attack Berger counted the money and
after putting it in his pocket started
for home. AS he was going down the
back steps he was confronted by
Smith, who drew a pistol on him. In
his endeavor to avoid shot from the
pistol Berger made misstep and fell
down the stairs. His back was sprain-
was broken near the elbow and he
received deep cuts over the nose and
right eye.
Berger's cries for help brought
number of the cooks in the grill to
the rescue. After a hot chase Smith
was caught and locked up at the City
Prison. He is charged with assault
with a deadly weapon.

HIS FUN COSTS
MONTHS v AGES
Edward M. Boland, a Clerk
Employed by Electricity
Board, Waylaid and Robbed
THIEVES USE SANDBAG
Man Is Found Unconscious
by Detective Cornelius,
With Coin and Watch Gone

A New Years over-indulgence In
liquor, which was taken advantage OF
by footpads, cost Edward NJ. Boland
his months wages last night and land
ed him in the hospital.
Boland is a clerk employed by the
Board of Electricity. He was held up
and robbed some time before o'clock
and was found unconscious on Locust
avenue, near Polk street, by Detective
Cornelius Of the City Hall station.
Cornelius had the man conveyed to
the Central Emergency Hospital, where
he soon recovered consciousness. He
had been drinking, as his condition at
tested. His watch and $50 were gone
and a broken end of the watch chain
was hanging to the vest.
Dr. Glover, who attended the injured
man, gave his opinion that Boland was
felled with some blunt instrument, pre-
sumably sandbag. A deep laceration
of the scalp and a possible fracture
comprised the injuries. Unless compli-
cations set in the patient will recover.
Boland's condition was such that he
could only tell disconnected story,
saying that he had quit work yester
day noon and was paid his months
wages, $50. He visited several saloons,
after which he wandered into Locust
avenue, and aside from being cognifant
of the fact that something hit him he
remembers nothing.
Detectives were detailed on the case,
but up to a late hour had found no
clew to Boland's assailants. Boland
lives at 451 Tenth street with his par
entS.

G. c., had a double celebration in the
Ellis-street armory last evening. The
first and the most important of these
to the members of the two batteries

building was erected and which was
recently cancelled. The second was
seeing the old year out and welcom-
ing the new one.
There was jinks. which was
opened shortly after the burning of
the mortgage with due ceremony. The
programme for the entertainment of
the members, those of Batteries d and
e and the signal corps of the Second

and stories and several boxing bouts.
The contributors were the artillery
band, Professor Mansfield's mandolin
club, Fred Giannini, Comedian New
man, ]. H. Eewis. Ed Healy and l..
Sachs. Among the boxers were Bat
Ting Nelson and Eddie Stone.
When the clock announced the hour

The affair was under the direction
of H. l. Orth, w. H. Mallett, Fred
Hooper, August Wambold and Ed
