Smith, big, fine-looking, well- dressed man, arrested Monday on the charge of embezzlement, made this statement at Jail. Smith is charged with appropriating money belonging to his employers, the Landau Commission 317 North Second street. He was arrested at 5545 Von Versen avenue, where he rooms, by Detectives Labarge and Schmidt. He had been suspected for some time by his employers, who had missed money due them.

To Chief of Detectives Desmoad, Smith said that he did not know just how much he had taken from the firm-He thinks the total will be found to be about $500. The firm has found a shortage of $200 for the month of June, however, and the total may be higher than Smith's estimate.

"I went to work for the Landau company in October," Smith said. 'I did not begin to take the money until the first of the year. That was my first crime. I took checks that passed through my hands. "I used the money to place bets with handbook makers for races in other cities.

This spring I began playing at the Fair Grounds and at Delmar Racetrack. I was playing at Delmar right up to the time the police closed it. When I didn't have time to go myself, I sent the money out by others. "I'm glad it's closed, for I've taken little since then. When once I had stopped gambling on the horses and saw no chance of getting the money back, I began drinking pretty hard, and the last check I took I spent at Ed Shuman's cafe.

Third and Locust streets, for drink. I had been getting most of my checks cashed there." Smith says that he is married, but is living apart from his wife at present.

There -was to have been a meeting of the envoys yesterday afternoon, but shortly before noon time a note written in pencil by Sato was handed to the newspaper correspondents, stating that the conference had been postponed until this morning at 9:30.

Clymer saw him flounder and gasp and then sink. He swam to him and seizing his arm endeavored to pull him out.

They claim that the high percentage of crime among the colored residents there is due principally to the use of cocaine. Sunday night they arrested Nathan Levy cf 1221 St. Louis avenue. East St. Louis, and took him to Carr Street Station, charged with selling cocaine without a prescription at the drug store at Franklin avenue and High street.

Morris says he looked through the window and saw Levy hand a little package to Flora Hold, colored of 1114 Franklin avenue, and that she acknowledged, when questioned, that the package contained cocaine. The new law framed by Gov. Folk, which went into effect June 16 and is intended to eliminate the cocaine evil, provides a heavy fine for selling cocaine without a physician's prescription, and it is under this law that Levy was arrested. His case will come up for trial in the Court of Criminal Correction at a date yet to be set. Many Cocaine Fiends.

"This neighborhood is thick with cocaine fiends," said iioeman Morris to a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday. "Fully two-thirds of the shootings, cuttings and other crimes committed here are caused by cocaine. The colored residents of the neighborhood are especially addicted to the use of cocaine, and they lose control of themselves when under its influence or when suffering for lack of the drug. "In addition to the drug stores that have been selling straight 'flake cocaine, such as that bought by Flora Holt, there is also a peddler. Will, alias Brock.

The craving for tho drug will make them steal or commit almost any crime to get money with which to buy cocaine." Dr. Saulbaum was seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter and said: "When the new anti-cocaine law went into effect I notified a certain druggist thit I would not write prescriptions for straight cocaine.

"I was told that at this drugstore straight cocaine was sold on my prescriptions calling for this slight percentage of cocaine, and when I asked the clerk about it he told me that the proprietor had Instructed him to sell the straight cocaine on my prescrip tions. "Now, I understand, this druggist, although not a licensed physician, is selling straight cocaine on his own prescriptions and is also mixing and dispensing cocaine preparations, although he is not a registered pharmacist. I am told that he is to be prosecuted on the three charges of acting as a physician without a license, of selling cocaine in violation of the new law and of compounding prescriptions without being a licensed pharmacist." Dr.

Humphrey of the City Dispensary, who, during his hours of duty, from 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. nightly, handles most of the cocaine cases, says that the use of the drug Is increasing rapidly.

He adds that its use is not confined to the lower classes. but that many of its victims are well-to-do people. The final result of the habit, he says, is to -cause death by starvation, the victim for many months in the latter stages of the habit being able to eat only sweets that destory the stomach.

I i foreign loans and his national banks, holds the cretfit of Russia in the palm of his hands. That credit, now impaired for war purposes, is excellent to procure peace. Witte knows Russia must nave peace.

He knows to get this peace he roust pay money. He. knows he cannot get money for war. The great banking Jiouses of the world are increasing their reserves. Peace is expected in every financial center.

That is the strongest reason why peace is expected. A student of the Russians, who has lived among them, said: "if this were any other country on earth than Russia treating with Japan there would be no doubt about a peace. The Russians are different. They are childlike in matters of this kind. They think Russia is the greatest country on cr.rth.

They do not acknowledge they have been whipped. "Their lack of appreciation of the exact conditions makes it possible that they will stand on their beliefs and continue the war at a cost of- a million dollars or more a day, instead of paying a reasonable sum to Japan to end it." M. Wittc is almost fanatical, publication on this, and Prof. Martens, the Russian international law expel says that negotiations must end when the indemnity clause is reached 'in Uic conference. The other Russians express themselves in a similar manner.

Witte immediately after he had received the terms of the Japanese, one was to the Rothschilds and one to a bankkig house in Antwerp. The one to Antwerp referred to Kuhn, Loeb Co. This great financial conference is called for one of two things.

Either the Russians want to raise money to pay the indemnity or they want to discuss the probabilities of getting money with which to continue the war. The chances of getting money to continue war are remote, as Russia's credit is badly impaired for war purposes. It is most likely that Mr. Schift is to talk with the Russians about money for peace, and his coming adds to the opinion that the conference will produce a treaty. Kuhn.

Loeb Co. have had a man here for some time. He has been interviewing everybody he could get to, and has been making a tender of money for peace.
