' CONSTANTINOPLE. July 14. (Spe
cial.) The present Sultan has re-established
the imperial residence on the
shore of the Bosphorus which' Abdul
Ham Id deserted in the fear of meeting
the same fate as one of his predeces
sors, who was awakened one morning
by the bombardment of his palace by
the guns of his own fleet. -
Leaving the ancient dwelling of the
Sultans on the Polnte du Serall the
scene of many a sanguinary tragedy
his father, Abdul-Medjid. Installed him
self in the spacious and beautiful
palace erected by his architect, Gara-
tiArl Ralia n nn ft olte nn tho npnohnr
j called Dolma-Baghtche. I
with the beginning of the present
regime Dolma-Baghtcne was thorough
ly overhauled, and It badly needed re
pairs, since for half a century the vast
edifice had hardiy ever been touched,
A little west of the palace- and also on
the shore is situated the mosque called
Vallde, where the weekly ceremony of
the Selamlik generally takes place,
Heavy Guard Kept.
A square planted with trees and or
namented with a clock tower separates
the palace from the mosque. It some
times happens, of course, that the Sul
tan offers his . Friday prayers else
where, but the proximity of Vallde to
Dolma-Baghtche gives it the privilege
of receiving the Padishah most regit
larlr.
When the Sultan Is about to leave the
palace for the mosque all the an
proaches are occupied by battalions of
infantry and squadrons of cavalry. The
traffic is not entirely held up, as was
the case under the old regime and the
people are allowed to pass between the
military lines until .the sharp sounds
of a bugle announce that the Com
mander of the Faithful Is taking his
place in his carriage. The troops pre
sent arms and the crowd is held back
behind the hedge of bayonets.
Another bugle blast and the battel
tons drawn up nearest to the palace
shout the old Ottoman cry, wishing
long life to their sovereign, "Padlshahim
tchok Tacha." Then one sees the large
red leather bag lying behind a fence
near his smithy, he picked it up last
night '
A moment later he was hurriedly
telephoning police headquarters. The
bag contained checks totalling $538,-1
113. the property of the United Cigar I
Stores Company, of New York. The
company told the police that the
checks, with $222 in currency, had
been sent today by a messenger to the
National Bank of ' Commerce in New
York for deposit. Tbe company - sup
posed the deposit had been made until
informed that . the bag and its con
tents had been found in Albany.
NEW YORK, July 14. Police here
cannot explain how a bag containing
checks totalling half a million dollars
the property of the United Cigar
Company reached Albany.
So far as detectives have been able
to learn from the company's auditor.
the checks were endorsed for deposit
and entrusted to the care of a 15-year-old
boy known as "Joe," who was to
take them to the bank. The police say
they are Informed "Joe" had not re
ported back to the company's officer I
after leaving with the satchel shortly I
before noon.

STRETCH AFFECTED.
LONDON, July 14. The disclosures
as to the state of affairs in the rubber
Industry in Peru, published in the
Blue Book just Issued by the Foreign
Office, as the result of Sir Roger
Casement's : investigations, attract a
great deal of attention and ' have
caused comparisons to be drawn be
tween these wholesale atrocities and
those at one time reported from the
Congo Free State.
The , British Consul-General at' Rio
Janeiro confirms the charges brought
against native agents of the Peruvian
Amazon Company, a British concern
formerly engaged in rubber collection
In the Futumayp district.
The story first was published in the
United States and was brought to the
attention of the British Foreign Office
by the Washington State Department.
Sir Roger Casement was sent to
Peru a year ago and found overwltelm-
lng evidence of the murder and tor
ture of defenseless Indians. He dis
covered that kerosene bad been poured
over men, women and . children, who
had been tied to stakes and were then
set on fire. The brains of children
had beefi dashed out. the limbs of
Indians had been cut off and broken
and they had been left to- die. The
tortures also included deliberate star
vation of many persons.
The Foreign Office says .that after
months of futile attempts to get the
Peruvian government to take meas
ures to prevent the recurrence of sush
horrors and punish the guilty it had
decided, with the cordial acquiescence
of the United States Government, that
the only course to take was to publish
the facts in full.

FRENCH CRIME STUDIED
Investigation Promises to Aid in
Abetting Future Lawbreaking.
PARIS, July 14. (Special.) The In
crease of crime, and particularly of
Juvenile crime. In France led the Cham
ber two years and a half ago to pass
a resolution inviting the legal authori
ties to consider the advisability of es
tablishing in Paris an organization for
the examination of criminals and the
investigation of the social causes of
criminality. A committee was appoint
ed by M. Cruppi and reported in favor
of trying the experiment, the investi
gation to be confined to convicts. M.
Brland took the next step of obtain
ing from Parliament the money neces
sary for the establishment of a central
bureau of criminology.
This bureau will study criminals
from the point of view of their phy
sical and biological characteristics,
their physical condition, and their so
cial environment It Is hoped thereby
to arrive for the benefit of future leg
islation at the laws which govern the
