Modern quarry machinery can handle

surprising thing, however, is how did

ENBEZZLER ARRESTED
Clerk in Marine Hospital Service
Stole Sac, 900.
MANIPULATED BILLS IN OFFICE

James soyd Erased Dates and Amounts
of Duplicates and Secured the Money
BY Endorsing Firms Names On
checks-Going On For Three Years.
Washington. Sept 10. - james W.
Boyd. a clerk in the public health and
marine hospital service. was arrested
on a warrant sworn out by Chief Clerk
w. p. Worcester. of that Office. charg-
ing him with embezzlement. The dis
covery Of the facts leading to the
charge was made last Thursday dur
ing Boyd's absence, and the amount
distracted will, according to Boyds
confession, reach not less than $780,
900.
1t was Boyd's duty to prepare bills
for the approval Of the surgeon gen.
eral and when checks were signed
they were delivered to him to be
mailed to the persons for whom they
were intended. It is charged that he
manipulated the bills by erasing the
dates and amounts OF duplicates left
in the office, and that he secured the
money on the checks by endorsing on
the checks the names OF the firms TO
which they were issued. The alleged
defalcation has been in progress Tor
the past three years, but Boyd was
not suspected until a recent Illness
compelled him to be absent and made
It necessary for some one else to as
sumo his duties. When his desk was
opened a number Of suspicious docu-
ments we're found. This discovery led
TO an investigation by Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman and Chief Clerk Wor-
cester. with the result that the case
was placed in the hands Of the secret
service operators, who made the ar
rest. Property belonging to Boyd, val
ned at about $4,000, has been seized.
BOYD had been in the public health
service for about IL years, and was
appointed from Westchester county,
New York. He was we'll known about
town. and especially so because OF his
pronounced fondness for automobiling.
He was drawing a salary OF $500 q
year. His family is said to be travel
ing in Europe.
When taken before United states
Commissioner Taylor, Boyd waived
hearing and was held In $4,000 bail.

GAR PROMOTES PEACE
Issues Invitations to Second Con-
ference at The Hague.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT WAS CONSULTED

The President Relinquished the Honor
Of Calling Conference to the En-
peror. Because He Was the lnItlator
Of the First Conference.
St Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Emperor
Nicholas again appears before the
world as a promoter OF universal
neace. No sooner is the Russo-Japa-
nese war over. and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified. thah
his majesty issues invitations 10

That the emperor has done so was
learned from a source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as to its authenuclly'
II was officially announced that tine
Russian government proposes 10 al
dress the foreign powers with view
to the holding of a second peace con-
ference at The Hague" but IL Is
known that negotiations preceding
this announcement that the govern
ment proposed to address the pow
ers" were entered into especially win
the limited States and we're conducted
with the greatest secrecy, there being
not the slightest inkling that Russia
contemplated anything of the KIND
The announcement created the
greatest surprise here, and that Rus
sia should plan a second conference
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt, was also heard
with amazement 1t is clear that the
stem could not be taken by Russia
without first reaching a complete un-
Outstanding with President Roosevelt.
Tho fact that President Roosevelt is
renorted as being entirely In sympa-
tbv with the proposal, and that he Is
cold n believe that TO the initiator OF
the first Hague conference should De-
cong the honor OF convOking the sec
ond and readily and even gladly ac-
coded TO the Russian proposal. is clear
proos that the conference has already
been called. and that President Roose-
welt relinQulshed his part in 1t TO the
emperor.
There is strong reason to believe
that the news even of the intention oil
the Russian government would not be
given out unless invitations had al
ready been sent to the powers and
possIbly. that their answers had been
received.
In this connection an interesting
ouestion arises as to how the invita-
t,on was communicated to Japan IN
view of the lack of diplomatic rela-
lions. but the invitation may be de-
Iaved until such relations have been
resumed. or it may have been LOT
warded through the United States.
II was impossible to learn the pro
nosed date of the second conference

regarding It. but 1t probably will not
be greatly delayed. Russia as the
power convoking the conference Will
probably submit an official program
the other powers submitting sugges-
lions.
