rudely awakened hypnotist down an

TALKED TORICHARDS
DES MONIES MAN SAYS HE SAW
ALLEGED FUGITIVE IN SOUTH.
Jeff Wiley, Man W1o Has Had Sew
eral Experiences With Richards and
Other Officers, Says Ex-Deputy Mar
shal Went to Mexico.

jeff Wiley, character in Des
Molnes, who is well known to the po.
lice there and has had several brushes
with them and with the federal officers
also, has recently returned to Des
Moines after trip to Texas and says
that he rode 100 miles in Indian ter
ritory with William A. Richards, the
alleged fugitive from justice who is
being searched for by Sheriff L. L.
Bybee, of Knoxville, in the hope that
he may clear up the mystery of the
robbery of P. Sullivan, which took
place January 2 at Hamilton. Wiley
says that while on his way south about
the time of the Hamilton robbery, a
short time afterward, he met Richards
on the train while passing through In
dian Territory and they rode and talk
ed together for 100 miles, and that
Richards told him he was on his way
to Mexico to look up clue in case
on which he was working.
George M. Christian, United States
marshal at Des Moines, was disposed
to discredit the story, but said that
Wiley ought to know Richards, mas.
much as the alleged fugitive had dealt
with him on several occasions in his
Official capacity.
Wiley was positive in his declara
ton that he saw Richards and says
that Richards did not appear to be at
all concerned at meeting him and did
not SO much as intimate that he was
trying to get away from Des Moines
and Iowa officials
The story seems probable inasmuch
as it has been established beyond
doubt that on January 8 Richards pur

Washington Shows Consider

CRITICIsES 30 w E N
Disappointment Shown in Berlin Over
Minister Bowen's Firm Attitude
Think He Is Allowing Fighting spir-
it to overbear Peace Desires.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 5.-Consider-
able anxiety is being manifested here
as to the outcome of the Venezuelan
negotiations and marked interest is
shown as to what answer will be re-
turned by the allies to allow them
three months preferential treatment in
the settlement of the claims against
the South American republic. 1t is
believed that il Germany approves of
the arrangement Italy will throw it's
support to that government. 1t is stat
ed that France has intimated it's will
ingness to accept this plan and it is
expected that the influence of all these
nations will be united in securing the
approval of the English Office.
Disappointment Felt.
Berlin, Feb. 5.-Some disappoint-
ment is felt by the German foreign Off
cials at Minister Bowen's attitude in
his conferences with the ambassadors
at Washington. Mr. Bowen, it is said
here, impresses the representative of
the allies as allowing his fighting spir-
it to oyerbear his desires for quick
settlement His demeanor at the con
ferences is described as that of an ad
vocate defending an innocent, perse-
cuted client.
Besides, the foreign office regards
Mr.. Bowen's first proposition as hav
ing changed after it was accepted, and
it is held that it was not clearly
stated and for that reason was misun
derstood. The British and German
governments thought Mr.. Bowen pro-
posed. settling part of the percentage
of the customs of La Guayra and Port
Cabello for the liquidation of theil
claims alone and so accepted it pro-
yisionallN Later, upon figuring or
the futura receipts on the basis of re
ceipts in the past. it was estimated
that it would take six years to pay the
first class of claims.
Twenty Years to Pay. q
Then they learned that the 80 pei
cent was to include the claims of all
countries. This, Great Britain and
Germany said, was not enough, as in
stead of six years it would take TWEEN
ty years to pay all the claims.
1t is also averred here that Mr.
Bowen's powers are not so full as de
sirable.
The cooperating powers, standing
by their first conditions that the
blockade shall not be raised until al
adequate guarantee for the payment
OF the reserved claims is given, have
instructed their embassies at Wash
ington to insist upon such an adequate
gsarantee Otherwise the blockade
