That's just the trouble" said Bruce
grittingiy. ''Its because smehlwho are
universally supposed to be honorable
and decent, and who occupy fine and
high positions, are at the bottom Of all
the crookedness that it's 30 hard for
me to reach them"
Stanford Stone. the secret head Of
the graft syndicate and Bruce's great
enemy, was not deceived by Bruce's
resignation Of his Office, which filed
some Of Stones associates with de-
light.
HE hasn't given up" he said.
Don't be fooled for minute by his
resignation. That's just blind. He's
going to keep on fighting. and it's more
important than ever to put him out of
the way. know, for instance, that
he's going to Chicago tomorrow to try
to get evidence against Dodson and
his grain shortage. Blacks gone. but
I've got another man to follow him."
So It came about that there travelled

as his own shadow, a desperate known

With Bruce gone, Stanford Stone left
no move unmade In New York that
might help to achieve his object. His
first blow was struck at the Independ-
ent. A hint was enough. With one
accord advertisers withdrew their sup
port until the paper faced a staggering
loss. And Stone went further. His
agents approached stockholders, who,
frightened by the loss Of earnings,
were glad to sell their holdings. So
Stone came into. control Of a great
block Of Independent stock and was
able to apply for receivership and
SO force the suspension, for a time at
least. Of the papers publication.
At his instance, too, suits were
brought against Bruce for criminal H.
bel and for heavy damages by the men
he had accused in connection with the
traction trust exposure. These were
strike suits, which could not succeed
when they were brought to trial, but
1t was not Stones purpose to let them
come to trial. They served as an ex-
cuse for attaching Bruce's bank ac-
count and his home, and this was done.
Bruce's mother was terrified by threats
Of ejectment from her home, and

- RUCE LARNIGAN, despite his
successes over the graft syn
dictate since his election as
district attorney, began to feel,
after his miraculous escape from the
plot to kill him in an explosion In the
new subway, that his chances of sue
cess along the lines he had 80 far fol-
lowed were almost hopeless
Gradually, 1t seemed to him, tire
mendous forces were being arrayed
against him. The whole power Of the
city administration was on the side of
the enemy. The mayor. with all the
departments he employed, showed
open antagonism. The newspapers.
with the single exception Of the indie
pendent, were either openly hostile or
sneeringly Indifferent. A great many
people who, it seemed to him, should
give him enthusiastic support were
decidedly lukewarm In their attitude.
To Dorothy Maxwell. his fiancee and
practically the only person in whom
he was now able to confide. since he
did not want to worry his mother
with the details Of his troubles. he told
Of his growing feeling that he was on
the wrong road.

TREATIES WILL
Be OBSERVED
Assurances Received From
Japan and Russia.
FOR OPEN DOOR IN CHINA
The Recent Treaty Contains Nothing
Which Will Interfere With the
Integrity Of China Or the
Open-Door Policy.

Washington.-Both Japan and Rus
sia have given the United States for
NAL assurances that the new Russo
Japanese treaty does not repeal or af-
feet the treaties of 1907 and 1910, in
which those nations pledged them
selves to maintain the integrity Of
China and the open-door policy.
The assurances were given to Am
bassadors Guthrie, at Toxic, and Fran
els, at Petrograd, in response to in
uuiries. The State Department re-
ceived from Mr. Guthrie note on the
subject addressed to him by the Japa-
nese Foreign Office, stating in Un-
equivocGl terms that Japan had not
for a moment entertained an inten-
ton of departing from these policies.
Department officials let it be known
that the statements were entirely
satisfactory and that inquiries regard
ing the new treaty, over which they
had been considerably perturbed, prob
ably would not be pressed further.
Department Gives Jap Note.
A statement issued by the State De-
partment says:
"This request was transmitted
through Ambassador Guthrie August
16. An oral response was made at
that time, reafirming adherence to the
open-door' policy, but the japanese
Government has now most courteous
Iy added in note to the Ambassador,
dated September 13, the following as
surance:
"'The Imperial Government desire
to assure the American Government
that the new convention is in no sense
designed to repeal or to modify the
provisions of Article of the cOnven-
tion concluded between Japan and
Russia on July 81, 1907, nor have the
Imperial Government entertained for
a moment any intention to depart from
the policy to which they have avowed-
ly committed themselves respecting
the maintenance of the independence
and territorial integrity of China, as
we'll as the principle of equal oppor-
tunity for the trade of all nations in
that country. On the contrary, they
are as strongly convinced as ever Of
the usefulness of that policy in the in
terest Of the general peace and
stability in the Far East, which they
have always very near their hearts. "
