Bedford, Ind, Feb. bedford is
rent in twain over the murder of Miss
Sarah Schafer. the pretty schoolmis-
tress, and there are now two fac
tions here which are growing more bit
ter against each other hourly. An an
rest which detectives say they will
make soon will bring the feud to eli
max, and there may be results which
will be startling.
Two Are Arrested.
Already two persons have been ar
rested, but they We're released, as their
innocence. of the crime was fully es-
tablished The detectives have now
turned their attention to the highest
society of the town, and two, young
men are under suspicion
Town is Divided.
Thsse two young men belong to
prominent families, and so strong is
the belief OF. the. detectives that one of
them is guilty, that they say he will
be arrested very shortly. On the other
hand the town authorities say he'will
not be arrested. One half of the&city
believes him guilty, the other half in
sists that he is not, and the most vio-
lent partisanship has sprung up, which
has divided lifelong friends.

DEPOT is ROBBED.
Unknown Thief Gets About ss5 Of
Rock Island Money,

Rock Island Money.
Eddyville, Feb. 1.-(Special) - A
white man, supposed to be tramp, is
thought to have robbed the money
drawer at the Rock Island depot here
Saturday evening. Although the Off
GERS have been looking for him since
1.-THE theft was discovered he has thus
far escaped them and it is very inn
probable that they will be able to ar
rest him. He secured between $35 and
$40 of the railroad company's money
during the absence from the depot of
Agent H. ]. Wing.
The theft was discovered about 1920
O'Clock by Elmer Darnell, a hackman,
who notified Mr.. Wing. 1t developed
that the thief had effected an entrance
to the ticket Office by prying up the
window with large file which was
later found in the building and which
lis the property of the Eddyville Sand
Co.. Suspicion falls upon the unknown
tramp because he is known to have
spent Friday night at the sand COM
pany's plant near the depot. The po-
lice in various towns surrounding Ed
dyville have been notified to be on the
lookout for the thief.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Walter Well
man last night sent the following dis
patch to the Chicago Record-Herald:
at is asserted confidently by friends
|of President Roosevelt that during the
coming six weeks there will be great
change in Wall street as to the desira-
bility Of the reelection of the Presi-
dent. They go so far as to predict that
within a short time a large share of
the hostility of the leading men of the
financial district will have disappear.
ed.
1T has not escaped general notice
that James Stillman was a guest at the
White House last week Mr.. Still
man is president of the National City
bank, the strongest financial institu.
tion in the metropolis. He is and long
has been a warm admirer of President
Roosevelt and when the proper time
come es will not be backward about ex.
pressing his views. 1t is commonly
supposed that Mr.. Stillman is merely
one. of Mr.. ,Rockefeller's hired men,
and that the Rockefeller interests full,
lily control the City Bank.
A Powerful Man.
Good information received here is to
the effect that Mr.. Stillman, while on
the friend!iest terms with John D.
Rockefeller and the whole Standard
Oil crowd, is not only the nominal but
ltEe actual head of the City bank. He

GRACE
CRISES IN FAR EASTERN CUES
TIoN is DELAYED FOR A
SHORT TIME.

Paris, Feb. 1.--Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding
the Russian answer to the latest Japa-
nese note, and this will result in far
ther averting the elimination of the
crisis until the middle of the latter
part of this week.
The official advices received here
from st. Petersburg, although some
what negative, gave definite details of
the status of the note and the program
it was intended to. follow. Count
Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minis
ter, had expected llat the exchanges
going on would have permitted the
final drafting of the answer SO that it
could have been presented to the czar
Saturday for his approval. but the ex-
pectation was not realized, and, as a
matter of fact, the answer has not yet
been finally drafted. 1t was therefore
determined to defer it's submission to
the car until next Tuesday or We'd
nesday. Efforts are still being made
to so shape this answer as to prevent
a rupture.

through his own holdings and the trus-
|teeships which have been reposed in
him and is not beholden to the Rookie
fellers or any other outside interests
for his authority or place. 1t is we'll
known that Mr.. Stillman is now one
Iof the small group of most powerful
men in the world of American finance.
He ranks with the Rockefellers, the
Vanderbilts, Mr.. Gould, Mr.. Morgan,
Mr.. Schiff, Mr.. Belmont, and Mr.. Har.
riman. In some respects he is one of
the most powerful men in New York
and mis- influence is as wide as that of
any of his comDeers. He has ever
been a conservative, a banker of the
best type, and not a promoter or spec
ulator
