STANFORD, Conn, Aug, 31.-A steel
safe of considerable weight, which is
understood to have contained $3.50 in
cash and jewelry valued at more than
$4,000. mysteriously disappeared from
the summer residence of Paul Bonner
at Nirvana- on-theSound, near Sound
Beach. The family believes that bur.
glars entered the house through win
dow on the lower floor and carried the
safe down a fight of stairs and out on
the lawn, where a vehicle was waiting
to take 1t to the shore to be placed
aboard a vessel. 1t would have taken
at least four men to move the safe.

MORGAN SEES ROOSEVELT.
FfnaBcier Visits President to Talk on
Canton-Hankoyv Railway.

1anIOn-hAnk0w halfway
OYSTER BAY, Aug. 29.-J. Pferpont
Morgan had an extended conference
yesterday with President Roosevelt.
The conference related to matters per.
tanning to the Canton Hankow railway
in China and its probable disposition
by the present owner, the American
China Development company The firm
Of j, p. Morgan e. Co. practically con-
trolls the road and its concessions.
Mr.. Morgan visited the president two
or three weeks ago on mission similar
to that of yesterday. Subsequently Sir
Chengtung LANG Cheng, the Chinese
minister, had a conference with the
president on the same subject. No
definite disclosures were made regard
ing either Of the conferences.
The Chinese government has pro-
posed to the American China Develop
ment company that it sell the road and
its concessions to China, the price gen.
orally regarded as close to the precise
figure being $7,000,000. So far as can
be learned the directors of the COM
Pthg SdNt hOt BftSStd upOn
offer of the Chinese government 1t is
said to be the intention of the directors
to hold a meeting today in Jersey City,
the American-Ch China Development COM
pany being a New Jersey corporation,
and it is likely that at that meeting, if
it be held, the question of the disposi-
ton of the road will be determined
definitely.
Mr. Morgan arrived in Oyster Bay
on his steam yacht Corsair. Accom-
panied by man whose name was not
obtainable he was conveyed in a
launch to the J. West Roosevelt pier
and thence in one of the presidents
carriages to Sycamore Hill There Mr..
Morgan and his friend were luncheon
guests of the president and Mrs. Roose-
welt. They remained with the presi-
dent until late in the afternoon, return
ing then to the Corsair, which sailed
soon after their arrival on board. 1t
can be said positively that the confer
ence had no relation to the pending
peace negotiations, although that SUBJ
ject may have been referred to in the
course of the conversation.

Once Famous Journalist Can't Resist

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-John King.
artist, writer and free lance, veteran of
the United States navy and man Of
many accomplishments, was commit
ted at his own request to the Hudson
county penitentiary by Judge Ransom,
sitting in Jersey City.
"Please send me to Jail, judge" plead
ed the old man. Il have tried to stop
drinking, and | can't do it. l will be
better off in Jail"
The court expressed its sympathy
and promised to see if something could
not be done TO aid King, who, after
having made a name on two continents,
is now reduced to penury. Judge Ran
som accordingly wrote to President
Roosevelt, placing Kings case before
him. King was honorably discharged
from the navy, but lost his dismissal
papers, and in consequence cannot
draw pension. Judge Ransom be-
lieves that the records will show the
facts as to Kings service and that the
president will be able to assist him.
Kings friends say that the writer
was once disappointed in love and that
his life was ruined by it. But the cause
of this was also drink, they say. He
was once engaged to a beautiful girl
Shortly before the marriage he called
at the house of his fiancee one night

of his friends. King was drunk, and

Here Is what New Workers can do

coachman for driving you fast; you
can't tip him for paying you $1,000 of

You soap to carry away in your grip;
you can give Il railroad purchasing

gift If you choose; you can't tip him
for ignoring other bidders and buying
goods from you at the expense of the
stockholders. In other words, a tip
must be truly tip gratuity, and
