IS the result of the denunciation of the

Regular session at Atlantic City, the
Plaction taken being greatly resented as
bearng hard upon members who had paid
assessments for years and were. as al

instances. A result was a specially called
meeting OF the supreme council at PUTIN

gone over again. and some notifications
introduced to relieve the pinch where it
was said to be greatest The action of
the preceding convention was indorsed in

While Sheriff Heider was looking for

the city last evening. he turned cor

and came squarely upon big burly

his name was Albert Mont gomery, and
he hailed from Chicago. The woman,
who said she was employed by a nice

appear, objected 10 appearing against
the fellow who was chastising her, and
the charge was made disorderly con
duct. upon which Montgomery was
fined $25. He went To Jail, and it is
understood the woman he abused has
been making strenuous efforts today TO
raise the necessary cash to get him out.

Thomas Conway. a man giving his

Captain Kramer last night on the
charge of larceny. He was in company
with George HuestOn. who was taken
in with him. Conway was trying 10
dispose of a number of watches and
some other property and suspicion was
aroused that he had not come by il
honestly. He also had a grip in which
was a suit of clothing that was a mile
too big for him At the station he de
MED possession of the grip and told a
more or less plausible story TO account
for having the other property. AS
there was no evidence to convict him
of theft, he was bound over to the
grand jury on the charge of circulating
obscene literature. some cards of this
description being found on his person.
Perhaps the ownership of the articles
in his possession will be discovered

started his diplomatic career in Japan
having been an attache OF the legation
there in the early days. Though seem-
ingly a sad eyed and pensiye youth, he
had been known us Il high roller in St
Petersburg, and he lived up to that rep
utatiOn in Il quiet way at Tokyo. He
was giving all sorts OF social entertain
mcntS to the Japanese when other for
eign diplomats held alOOf. AS Il result
he got OH such good terms with the lit
tie brown officials that he wheedled
them out Of the island of Sakhalin. 1t
is one of the irOnies of fate that the
baron will now be called upon to re
cede this island TO the Japanese as one
of the fruits of the present war. 1t is
related of ROsen that he got on such
good terms with the Japanese states
men in those old days that he ordered
n complete outfit from Paris for one
OF their wives She poor. innocent
soul, not knowing how to don the COS
tune, got the neither garments outside

tional than conventional. 1t was Baron
ROSen, by the way. who was minister
at Tokyo before the outbreak of the
war. Despite the loss of Sakhalin and
the present unplca>antness, the genial
baron is loved in Japan.

the list. There have been times that
he was the most powerful man in Rus
STA. But he opposed the grating of
the grand dukes and that precious
cabal Inundated him. He also opposed
the present war. n fact that makes him
popular with the Japanese. De Witte
has been known as q refOrmcr and d
liberal. But il must not be supposed
from this that he is favorable to a
democratic form Of government. Quite
the contrary. He is II Stickler for the
autocracy. But lie does favor honesty
and straightforward methods. and that
is much, at least in Russia.
Serge Yulevitch de Witte Is the son
of Il merchant of Dutch extraction liv-
ing in the Caucasus. He was educat-
ed in a Russian university, graduating
from the engineering course. He then
got a position as an assistant station
master on Il private railway. When
troops We're being shipped 10 the front
during the war with Turkey he was
temporarily in charge of the station.
Seeing that orders from headquarters
meant fatal results. he disobeyed them
and substituted system that he had
thought out for himself. Older men
stood aghaSt, Tor they thought that the
| INSTRUMENTATION meant exile TO Siberia.
But the move succeeded and instead
IL brought about the rapid promotion
of the daring young rebel against the
inefficient bureaucracy. In few years
De Witte was minister OF railways,
where he organized the roads as they
had not been organized before and
built thousands of miles of new lines.
AT q later stage. by the way. the Trans
siberian railroad came into being
through his powerful advocacy. Be-
, ing promoted to finance minister, he
! instituted such vigorous reforms that
