To Maintain Peace. London, Jan. 21.--A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Berlin de­ clares that the correspondent is in a position to announce positively that it has been decided at St. Petersburg that Japan's wishes shall be met in such a way as to secure the mainte­ nance of peace. The dispatch adds that the only question is whether Russia "shall declare her decision to Japan alone or to all the powers Interested in the solution of the far eastern ques­ tion." Believe Russia Will Yield. Lord Lansdowne's reception at the foreign office was attended by almost all the ambassadors and ministers in London. At the end of the reception the statement was made that the sit­ uation looked slightly more hopeful, but as the Russian reply apparently was not yet drafted no definite state­ ment could safely be made. The for­ eign office has reason to believe, how­ ever, that Russia is willing to concede practically all Japan's demands, but that she cannot see her way to make a treaty with Japan recognizing in black and white China's sovereignty over Manchuria. Asks Aid of Britain. Russia has apprpached Great Brit­ ain to urge Japaiy to forego this stip­ ulation and io accept in lieu thereof the assurances to the same end al­ ready given to the other powers. It is pointed out at the foreign office that Great Britain, being an interested party, Is in a difficult position and can scarcely recommend such a course io her ally. For the moment the situa­ tion rests there. Whether or not Japan will Insist to the bitter end on a treaty recogniz­ ing Chinese sovereignty over Man­ churia the foreign office does not yet know. It thinks the Japanese them­ selves will not decide until after the delivery of the Russian reply, which is scarcely expected till next week.

STUDENT ANSWERS ASUMMONt Father of Young Man Accused of AV . tempting to Kise Miss Schsfsr Brings His Son Home From Bios***, ington at Request of Police. Bedford, Ind., dispatckt iThe polli* investigation into tae mystery of the brutal murder of Miss Sarah C. Scha- fer, the pretty school teacher, was marked by an attempt to lay a trap for the arrest of one man, a Chicagoaa, closely answering the description of the supposed assailant, and the plac­ ing under close surveillance of anoth­ er, a resident of Bedford and a student at the State University at Blooming- ton. A man with reddish brown h&hr was arrested in Bloomington as a suspect, and is held awaiting the instructions of the police here. He gives his name as Thomas Bovd. Sucpect Evades Trap. The Chicago man is J. M. Walker, who is said to have worked in a stone quarry. The trap was laid for the man oy Detective John J. Halpln of the central detail of Chicago, which the main evaded. A warrant is held for liis arrest by Halpln. The Bedford young maa who has been asked by tbe police to explain his movements on the night of the murder and his relations with the d.ead girl for several weeks before is Joseph Heltger, 21 years old, the son of a well to do grocer, and one of the lead­ ers of the younger set of Bedford so­ ciety. Denies Attempt to Klaa. As it developed, Heitger is the young man who three weeks ago was ordered by Miss Schafer to leave the house after an alleged attempt to em­ brace her. Such is the story told by the dead girl to her landlady and her roommate and written to her sister, Mrs. F. F. Cross, in Chicago. It Is denied" in full by Heltger. While considering the story told by Heitger worth further investigation, Detective Halpln, who practically has been placed in charge of the police work on the murder, Inclines strong­ ly to the belief that the apprehension of the Chicago man will prove of value In tbe solution of the mystery. Walker Answers Description. Walker is described as being of about the same height and build as the man in the long overcoat seen talk­ ing with the girl on the night of the murder, and as having a reddish brown mustache. I^ast summer Walker was arrested In Chicago, it is alleged, on complaint of a girl employed In a ho­ tel In Clark street, who alleged he had defrauded her of $100 or more of her savings, and to save himself from prosecution he married her. A few weeks afterward his wife re­ ported that he had fled, and thereupon was issued the warrant now held by Detective Halpin. Halpln has obtained information to the effect that Walker was not only in Bedford, but that he- was also able to throw light on the murder of Miss Schafer. Proves an Alibi. Heitger has been questioned at length concerning his whereabouts early In the evening of last Thurs­ day. According to his story he left his home shortly before 7 o'clock and proceeded dirertly to the old library building in Fourteenth street, between J and K streets, two blocks from the scene of the murder. A basketball game was held Thursday evening at the Library building, and Heltger !• known to have attended it According to his own statement he arrived early, expecting to act as coach. At about 7 o'clock, he stated, he arrived at the library. The library building was about four blocks and a half from the Heitger residence, ahd the young man could have walked the distance In a few minutes. The route he took, according to his ewn story, does not pass the alley where the girt was murdered, while at one point it Is within a short distance from it Father Sends for Boa. Heitger was In Bloomington Satur­ day when he was ordered home In a telegram sent by his father, Joseph Heitger, Sr., at the request of the city officials. On his arrival at Bedford he went at once to the city hall, where he was questioned by Chief of Polico Smith and Deputy Prosecutor Steven­ son. Afterward he was prompted to- return to Bloomington. "I won't go if you think I ought to stay," he said. "It may look to some- people that I am leaving town be­ cause of this murder investigation." After Heltger had left for Bloom­ ington his room at home was searched by Detective Halpln. it was reported later that the investigation had re­ vealed notM^p of li^nortnnre. # Woman Is Honored.
