WITTE GETS NO WORD FROM
EMPEROR
AIR FULL OF FoREsoDlNeS
Dispatches From st. Petersburg and
Toxic Indicate That Both Gov
ernments Have Practically
Reached Their Limit
a successful conclusion. His position
is a difficult and peculiar one.
WItte as MIrabeau


M. Witte is statesman of large am
bition. Liberal at heart, he is yet a
servant of his sovereign. At the pres
ent iuncture his role is described as
being like that of Mirabeau. He stands
between the king and his people. He
obeys his sovereign, but he wants his
people to know where the response
bility Of the fate of the negotiations
must rest. At the same time he can
not himself take firm stand against
his sovereign.
For this reason, and the authenti-
Gated history of this conference will
bear out this statement, he preferred,
when first appealed to by Mr.. Roose-
welt, to have the latter go straight to
the emperor with his suggestion.
Though perhaps in full sympathy with
President Roosevelt, to have appeared
as supporting it too ardently, or to
have openly indorsed it against his in
structions, might, considering the in
fluences about the court which are per-
sonally hostile to and jealous Of him,
have injured instead Of bettering the
chances.
When the Presidents first effort
failed he did not discourage a second
attempt, made in such a way that the
emperor would have difficulty in de-
clining, out of courtesy to the Presi-
dent, to empower M. Witte, at least
tentatively, to proceed with the ne
gotiations and see if a satisfactory
basis could not be arranged, reserving
the last word to himself. Should such
authority come at the eleventh hour.
M. Witte might make the best terms
he could and then figuratively throw
a treaty at the emperor's feet to take
or leave, yes or no.
AS politician, NJ. Witte might not
relish the idea of having it said
when he returned to Russia that he
had made dad peace" He might
prefer the emperor to shoulder that re-
sponsibility. But shortly before mid
night M. Witte gave absolutely no en-
couragement to the idea that there
would be a change of heart at st. Pc
tersburg. He expressed the opinion
that unless Toxic was ready to recede
further all was over. He said: II have
received no telegram from st. Peters,
burg which changes the situation. In
deed do not expect any. 1 have not
asked instructions, so that I cannot re-
ceive any. If tomorrow there is to be
change it must come from the Jap
anese side

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Dr. Luther II.
Gullck, director Of physical training in
the public schools of New York, is
looking for a phllanthropist who will
give funds to build n twenty-story
playground on one Of the piers on the
East river front. Light and air are
DIR. Gullck's hobbies, so he has planned
a skyscraplng playground in such a
manner as. to have it's sides composed
almost entirely of windows. 1t would
be q towering shining crystal palace,
glltterlng above the crowded waters,
and the most conspicuous object in the
sky line of New York. In the summer
large portions of the windows would
be removed and the fresh breezes from
the ocean would fill all the rooms Of the
building.
For the first four stories the children
would have to walk, but above that
great elevators, holding at least fifty
passengers at a time, and smoothly
running escalators, would carry the
youthful patrons of the building to the
higher stories. In the lowest story the
playground will be a creche, where
mothers who have to go to work can
leave their children. That would be
Il region Of rattles and nurses.

No Men Need Apply

mo men clerks need apply" This
dictum has gone forth from three great
insurance companies, the largest en-
ployers of clerks in this city, who in
the last few years have been filing
their offices with young women ac-
countants, bookkeepers, copyists, etc.
So satisfactory have the women proved
in every clerical capacity that male
clerks are not wanted any more. Not
only have most of the leading life in
surance companies gone in for the
woman clerk, but business houses,
large and small, up and down town,
are employing women in positions once
considered as lying exclusively within
the sphere of the young man. The male
clerk is being forced out. Employers
recognize this fact and admit it; but
they suggest no alternative, no remedy.
1t all evolves simply into this propo-
sition: A woman is just as skillfu as
man clerk and more so in many in
stances. AS general rule she Is more
careful, more faithful, more honest
and she doesn't drink. You hear such
a statement as this wherever women
are employed and Il still greater rea-
SON for employing clerks of the fair
sex is glven-they will work for much
less money.

The joyful Sullivan

gave smoker at the clubhouse. 2O7
BoWery, last night to celebrate the
victory of November Z. The Clan Sui
livan were all there, beginning with
Big Tim,' the congressman; Little
Ttm,' the alderman; "Florrie" Sullivan,
leader of de Ate" and all the rest
So many of their followers came that
the arrangements committee had 20
throw open two other buildings.
There was a vaudeville show and
things to eat in abundance. There
were things to drink, too. This is a
good trait Of the clan--they never for
get that while the Bowery is almost
always ready to eat, it is always, at
any time and at any place, ready to
drink.
Senator Fitzgerald was there. He
and the big fellows held forth in an
upper room and drank stuff from bottles
that popped when the corks were pulled.
That is. all the big fellows drank but
the Sullivans. They never drink.
Big Tim" and his friends beamed
on the audience every once in while
and demanded to know If they were
having a good time. With one accord
the crowd yelled that Big Tim" was
all right. If anybody had denied the
fact there would have been trouble.

MAN MEETS HIS FOURTH
SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT
RUN DOWN EVERY TIME HE GOES
ON THE STREET
William H. Waterbury, Struck by Elec-
trio, Sustains Injuries to Head and
ShouIders-spends Much Time in
Bed, Recovering From Wounds

William M. Waterbury, about 60
years of age, was struck by south
bound street car on South Spring
street, between Second and Third, last
evening and injured about the head
and shoulders.
Since being in Los Angeles Water
bury has been extremely unfortunate
He has been i'm street car and auto
mobile accidents four times.
Nearly a year ago Waterbury was
struck by speed maniac's gasoline
go-cart and injured to such an extent
that he had to remain in bed over
two months. Two weeks after recov-
ering he was hurled from an electric
car and injured internally. Three
weeks later when he had recovered
sufficiently to get about he entered the
employe of the Phillips Printing COM
pany.
While collecting for the printing
company Waterbury was struck by n
motorcycle and was confined to his bed
for thirteen weeks. Only a few weeks
ago he was allowed to leave his bed
and last evening was the first night
that he has been downtown since his
last accident.
Police Surgeon Quint examined the
mans head and then announced that
the injury would not prove serious.

Embowered Dining Room

The artistic "orangerie" at the Hotel
Astor, already so popular among wo-
men shoppers as a convenient and at
tractive place for luncheon and so fas-
cinating as a Kaleidoscope of color and
gayety in the evening, is to have an
added attraction which will soon be put
into effect. This innovation, which
will make the room unique among
other dining places, is an arrangement
OF screened tables on the balconies.
There is room for a dozen of them,
screened from one another by a latticed
arbor, over which will be trained pro-
fusion of wistaria vines in bloom.
These fragrant little dining bowers will
thus be entirely closed in on three
sides, their entrances being arched
openings In the wistaria walls at the
rear, and the fourth side, with the
exception of a few trailing flower ten
drills, will be left open to view of
the gay scene below among the hum
dred tables OF the main ROOM The idea
is somewhat similar to the Partisan
Bois de Boulogne restaurants.

Earo in the Home

There is a place in Nassau street
which does Il thriving business selling
gambling outfits for private homes.
Perhaps if the name and address of
the firm escaped into print Mr.. Jerome
would swoop down upon it and con-
fiscate the very valuable stock of the
amiable proprietor. This man would
not think of selling gambling tools to a
professional, and he feels that his busi-
ness is strictly legitimate, insofar as
he handles straight implements with
which every one has n chance. 1t is
one of the curious developments that
society people always prefer to make
their favorite pastimes things that are
outlawed. The district attorney closed
up all the swell gambling shops which
were conducted for the profit of the
keepers, but this does not balk those
rich young men who like to hear the
whirl of the wheel or gaze upon the
hectic charms of the four-flush. There
may be a tameness about the game at
home through the presence of women,
but a gamble under cover is always
a thing that attracts

RECEPTION HELD IN BANK
Institution for Market and Produce
Men Is Opened for In
spection

The Market and Produce bank at
Third street and Towne avenue was
open for inspection for the first time
last evening. Many of the stockhold-
ers of the new institution, with their
friends, were present.
The new bank is designed to meet a
necessity that has long been recog-
nized as existing. The doors will be
open at o'clock in the morning and
will remain open until 3 o'clock In the
afternoon. This will give many Of the
marketmen an opportunity to deposit
their money that otherwise they would
not have, and it is expected that the
bank will do a large business.
A dainty lunch was served to those
present last evening and pains We're
taken to show every person present
through the vaults and safes of the
institution.
The bank will open for business to-
morrow morning.

1t is opened for the purpose Of selling
the work of the people in the various

Articles in the bazaar consist of rugs
from Persia, embroideres from China
brasses from India, interesting foreign
stuffs for gowns and hangings, origi-
nal designs in drawn work and hand
made laces. which cost very little for
the work that is in them. The goods

Municipal Ownership

The municipal ferryboat system, in
addition to erratic and unsatisfactory
service, is likely to prove a very costly
department. The operating expenses
have been trebled while the traffic,
owing to the uncertain service, has cer-
tainly not increased. On the basis of
having larger boats the dock depth
has increased the working force three
fold. The old company ran the boats
on shifts of twelve hours each, but the
new regime has established three shifts
of eight hours each. This has necessl
tated a large increase in the working
force, The item OF firemen furnishes a
clear idea as to the manner in which
the working force and the operating
expenses have jumped. On the old boat
station ten flrement did the work at
$50 a month each, or a total of $500.
Under the regime of the municipal
ownership branch of Tammany hall
four firemen have been engaged for
each boat, or a total of twenty for the
fleet.
Jerome Spent Nothing
District Attorney Jerome has filed a
certificate in which he declares that his
reelection did not cost him a cent.
William M WINS spent $10,57S.14 for
printing, advertising, postage. clerical
hire and campaign buttons.

And further 1.-The senator spent most of the clearing

cords with The Herads prediction that arrival at

railway rate question, disclosed in Los Angeles Just
prior to his departure.
But The Herald notes with pleasure that the mass
of correspondence aforesaid

line up with the railway interests with the people

saying Il want to bill passed that will protect

text he will vote in favor of calculated give
California shippers square deal in traffic charges
Senator Flint is right the Panama question.
He says. 81 in common with the whole Pacific coast
think the canal should be built at the earliest possible
moment; interests demand this" That is equivalent
to commttal in favor Of the lock system as it is
ceded that thereby the canal might be completed
while II Is likely require twenty years for
completion on the level plan.
