MGR. LAVELLE CONDEMNS ENDLESS-CHAIN PRAYER Somebody's Been Sending It Around, with Threats. NAMES OF BISHOPS FORGED Recipients Ordered to Recite Prmyw Nine Days and Hand It Along trom Informed. Mgr. Lavelle.

rector of St. Patrick' Cathedral, baa called th. attention of Irtstrfct Attorney Jerom to th appeal for an ndl-chain prayer which la be In circulated through the country in term a that Inaplra needless feara among th uninformed. Th. document.

a told In yesterday's Tims, adjures the recipients to pray for nine days, with great proml.es of reward, and threat, of dire eonsequenre If the injunction, la not Obeyed. It may rU-tnally have "been sent out by some well-meanlnc but mlsg-uided per-son." said Mgr. Lsvvell last erenlng. but It la an outcropping- of superstition. It waa first aent out with a medicine advertisement.

I believe, having been translated from the Italian. It was ultimately handed from on person to the othor. I got one or two of the screed and threw them a way. The letter" promts. Immunity from drowning, and elo Immunity from arrest and the like If the Injunction in the letter Is obeyed.

Not only but the Cath-lie clergy throughout the Slates, are la king: action In the suppression of the fal prayr. to which the names of several prominent Ulshops have been urged. I am anxious for the public to know that a prayer of that character is contrary In every respect to the spirit of the f'huroh. because, amuna other chinas, it 5 rotnl.es physical impoesiouitiea. fo lar hiva be-n unable to lrn who the au thor Is or the object he has In sending the Utters out," The letter contains an implied threat of a aaaaai nation, aa these closing paragraphs of It wlU show: "He who incite this prayer and writes It for nine days, onco a day, giving a copy eaoh day to some person who will the aame.

will receive a great Joy at the end of nine day. This prayer was sent by the Bishop of Rome, and a copy was given to a woman who paid no attention To it. and In punishment thereof ber aon waa asnaaiunated on the third day. "Whosoever receive tbia muirt recite It, giving a copy to nine persona for nine ays." Many of the prayers have been circuited on the west aide, and In some homes ev.ral members of the same household have received a copy. TROUBLE OVER EVANS WILL.

Stamford, Raising Fund to Relieve Maaaacre Victims. Moved by tha reports of massacres and pillaging that bava come from the Baltic provinces on the Russian frontier, the citizens of Stamford. have appointed a committee to receive contributions for the relief of tha sufferers, A Hew York branch Is to be established, but until It la organized donations may be sent to Schuyler Merrltt, President of the Stamford National Bank. The fund will be known aa the Baltic Province Relief Fund. Attention has been called to the conditions! In Esthonla, the province that seems to have suffered most.

Although under Russian rule, the landowners are really Germans, and Russia, engrossed with her larger troubles, has taken no notice of the burning and pillaging of Esthonla by bands of marauders. Heval la the capital of the province. The town la built upon a huge rock and waa originally a fortress. It has three very steep entrances, and to this place of comparative safety the survivors of the massacres have flocked. Hundreds of farms have been desolated, and Reval is overcrowded with penalless and starving people.

They were unable to save anything, and when they fled from their homesteads, the surrounding country waa In flames. The call for help aaye that everywhere there are murder, fire, and starvation. In addition, there is the constant dread that the robber bands will return from their tours of destruction and attack the city. Baron Edward von Stackelberg. kr.

Ernest von Kugelgen, and Erhard Lerlo, a Reval merchant, earnestly declare that the smallest contribution will be gratefully received.

CHINATOWN'S WARRIORS AGREE TO REAL PEACE To Judge Foster the Tong Men Go and Promise. ON FRIDAY THEY WILL SIGN Revolvers and Knives Abjured, Mock Duck Disowned, Nothing But Peace Some Dignitaries Help. The dove of peaea baa spread Ita wings over Chinatown. No more will tha On Leong Tong men and tha Hip Sing Tong men war on one another with long-barreled heavy revolver and short, ahlny knives at least, they say they won't. Bloodshed la to The slory of being mediator belong to Judge Warren W.

Foster of General Sessions. Fifty Chinamen got together in his of fice in the Criminal Courts Building late yesterday afternoon and told him how sad they were at tha shootings ln Mott and Pell Streets. Teara rolled out of tha almond eyea of the Hip Sing Tonga aa they blessed the Joys of peace, sweet peace; the men of the On Leong Tong bemoaned the strife between Chinese brothers In a land. Dr. F.

F. Tong. aent over by hla Imperial Majesty to atop tha feuda, waa there, so were Kit Fu Shab. Consul to New York; Guy Maine of th Chlnea Reform Association, and many another Chinese celebrity, Judge Foster was selected aa mediator after a conference between hia- Excellency Kit Fu Shah and Dr. Tong.

They decided that the war of tha tonga bad to be stopped. Apparently neither faction had been able to kill the other out and stop It that way, ao only arbitration waa left- The two dignitaries called on Chinese merchants for advice. Judge Foater'e name was proposed, and everybody agreed to it. When th proposal waa mad to the Juchj he was very much surprised, but replied that would only too glad to act. Th peace congress aaaembled yesterday afternoon for ita first session.

Chinamen with Chinamen with scowls, short Chinamen and long Chinamen. Hip Sings and On Leongs trooped through th corridors of District Attorney Jerome' fortress In Centre Street and swarmed Into the elevators. Much Jabbering In an unknown tongue befuddled th elevator men and the court policemen, moat of whom hadn't beard of th peace congress and couldn't understand th aud-den approach of th Yellow Peril. Representing th On Leong Tong were Moy Tow. Gin Gum.

and th venerated Mayor of Chinatown, Tom Lee. For some curious reason Tom Lee stayed outside the room and sent In lieutenant with commands to his followers. For the Hip Sing Tong appeared Huey Oow, William Le York, and Louis Quong. Tha Orientals made such a Jam In Judge Foster's Quarters that there waa hardly room to move around. The two factions had their lawyer.

Thomaa P. Dlnnean represented th On Leongs and Frederick A. Ware and Ely Rosenberg tho Hip Sings. Judge Foster opened tha proceedings by asking for a statement of differences." Mr. Dlnnean arose.

Thert are not any dif ferencee that cannot be settled peaceably," be said, and we that is, the On Leong Tong are willing to make any agreement for peace. Tt fighting In Chinatown haa seriously affected th business Interests of that quarter." Then Mr. War got up and spoke In behalf of the Hip Sing Tong. There are no differences that cannot be settled peaceably," ho said, or words to that efi'ect, and th Hip Sing Tong wants peace. I'm ready to algn any pa pers right here and promlsa that th Hip Sing Tong will keep th agreement." How about thla carrying of weapons?" asked Judge Foster.

Do you not know that it is asrainst the law to carry Is tola and brass knuckles and knives?" A chorus of Chinese voices sang out against the iniquitous practice of carrying weapons. On every face waa written a great horror at the very thought thereof. Promises not to carry weapons were freely made. Then Dr. Tong spoke.

He was sent to this country ostensibly to talk about treaties at Washington, but has spent most of his time trying to find a way to end tne internal wars among the New York Chinamen. I am a disinterested party." declared Dr. Tong. I am not allied with either the Hip Sing Tong or th On Leong Tong. All I want fs that peace shall be restored and that the business interests of the Chlnea shall be protected." After a few more by Dr.

Tong Judge Foster called on his Exoellency Kit Fu Shah, the Consul. He expressed a few peaceful opinion through Dr. Tong as interpreter. Than cam up tha question of signing a protocol immediately. If the signing were left over there might be more shooting and more funerals meanwhile.

Mr. Dlnnean said he could not sign any paper without full authority from his society, but that he could give th word of th society not to engage in any more fights. So it was finally agreed that way. Friday la aet as the day. Then th accredited representativea will appear again before Judge Foster, and will sign a per manent treaty oi peace.

Aleanwnil a hard-and-faat armistice will exist In Chinatown. It came out yesterday that the Hip Sings disowned Mc-k Duck. Their lawyer said so. Mock Duck had played the District Attorney a mean trick. Mr.

Rosenberg said, by not keeping his promise to clear out and make no more trouble. Therefore the Hip Sings were dona with him. Before Friday both societies are to have meetings and issue peace proclamations. These proclamation will De spread broad' cast in Chinatown, ana Wlil 1 warn th citixen against mar. BINGHAM EUDS SOFT BERTHS.

Mounted Polios and Bloyclo Squad Get Mor Work. Folic Commissioner Bingham Issued an order yesterday, which will add between 150 and 200 men to tha fore doing patrol duty without additional expense. Th Commissioner learned on Inquiry that th mounted men of the traffic squad were doing but about seven hour a day duty, while the bicycle squad were working only eight hour. Th order puts all of these men on the night detail list, to serve at theatres, th opera, Madison Square Garden, and other places where policemen are needed for a few hours each night. This release for active patrol duty the regular patrolmen who have been doing this work.

Ten gpeedwav bicycle policemen have also been ord'rd to night detail duty. The Commissioner declared yesterday that his work along tha line was not "si tlplithed. Even in so big a sale as the one we started yesterday, our own experienced men do-all the fitting- and selling. To get in outside help would be as foreign to our policy as to get in outside garments. With from 25 to 60 knocked the price of every Winter sack overcoat in our stock, our own men had no time yesterday to make any count of what had been sold.

So this morning we can only tell what we started the sale with yesterday, and add that in both medium and full length plain and belted coats, there are plenty of choice bargains still and a full assortment of sizes.

SOCIETY'S SUFFERING, TOO And Editor Burks Is Losing All His Converts to Suburbanlty (or Words to That Effect) It used to be Brooklyn that did all th kicking about transportation or the lack of it.

Staten Island cam to the front, however, yesterday when delegates, counsel, representative, and plain Richmond cltliens swarmad to the offices of the State Railroad Commission In the White hall Building. They protested against the lack of transit facilities in their bor ough in the early morning. Tbe specific objection to existing condi tlons was that no cars were run to con nct with th city ferryboats between 1:23 and 5-A. M. Th city runs It boat every hour, but that does Staten Islanders little good, unless tbey happen to live near the ferry landing.

John R. Zwlcky, filed the petition for a change, said th patient Islanders bad waited twenty years for proper facilities. They had hoped the municipal ferry would solve the difficulty, but. excellent aa this proved to be, they found their trouble by no means enaea. We live in New York and are taxed accordingly." he said.

so why can't the TS.Ouo persons on the Island get home at any hour of the day or night, the same aa people on Long Island or th Bronx? lie is a Post Office clerk, who quits work at 1 A. M. Hometimes it takes him four hours to get home. Despite thla, he ha lived on Staten Island for twenty-five years. Mr.

Altman of New Brighton read a letter from Borough President Cromwell, mho argued that If the transportation companies would establish an early morning service a great many more persons who have to return home between 1:25 and 5 A. M. would go to live in Staten Island. He also suggested that thousands of the native would go much oftener to th Manhattan theatres, dinners, and social affairs If they knew they could get home. After several Staten Islanders had told of their troubles In getting home after th railroad rang the curfew.

John Burke, Lan editor, spoke. He said: I nave gold-Dricirea not less tnan iwn-ty-flve persons to move down to the Island, but all but one have gone back to Manhattan. I want to protest against not only this refusal to operate cars between 1:23 and A. but against the miserable service these companies are giving at ether hours." The railroads' lawyers said that the companies could not afford "to run early morning car for fw passengers when the lines were already running at a loss. On Richmond man said, however, that the morning service would cost only S3 a morning.

Decision on the petition to compel this service was reserved. AN 1NTERMM1TTENT FERRY. Trouble Getting- to and from Staten Island Early Yesterday. Many persons bound for Staten Island early yesterday morning and other who had gone down to Staten Island from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Jersey City to attend a celebration by th Staten Island lodge of Elk waited In the ferry bouse at either end of the ferry from one to three hours without seeing a boat. Assistant 8upt.

Hanlon of the ferry denied last night that any night trip had been skipped, except that at 8:30. He asserted that the boats leaving Manhattan at 12:45. and 2:30. with the corresponding trip from 6t. George, had run.

Th 8:30 trip, he said, had been cut out to allow for repairs at th Be George slip. The 4:30 boat ran. as usual. Thos who waited In the ferry house for the beats which Supt. Hanlon says ran.

say that th boats. If they did so, ran without taking passengers. On Monday afternoon, before the rush horn beaan. one of the boats failed to stop when entering the St. George rack, and bumped so hard Into the sld.i of the rack as to punch a hole In the boarding, knock down the passengers, and hurt on woman severely.
