THE BEDFORD MYSTERY.
Indications of Important Develop.
ments in the Inquiry Into MUIR
der Of Miss Schnfer.

Bedford, Ind, Jan 30-There has
been increased activity among the Of
ficials investigating the murder of
Miss Schafer, and there are intima-
tions that the authorities have re-
ceived some important information,
though Of what nature is kept closely
guarded Mayor j. II. Smith stated he
had received an important clew, and,
holding up an envelope, made the re-
mark that il the public knew its con-
tents Bedford would go wild. Sheriff
Smiht spent the afternoon in Indian
apolis In consultation with officials
there. If Bedford officials know his
errand they refuse to admit it. A per-
sistent rumor has been circulating
around the court of inquiry that the
investigation Is being directed toward
a Bedford citizen in good standing and
that the authorities are Withholding
action until they are certain they have
evidence to warrant his apprehension
on suspicion. This report the detec-
tives deny. There is a growing belief,
however, that the authorities have
what they regard as important infor-
nation which may lead to an arrest.

Washington, Jan. 30.-A carnation
every member Of the house Friday, in
commemoration of the late President
McKinleys birthday. The chaplain re-
ferred feeingly to the late president in
his prayer
The house considered whether men,
bers Of congress are entitled to be paid
mileage second time The controver-
sy arose on an item in the urgent de-
ficiency bill providing for two pay
ments OF mileage for senators and
members Of the house on account Of
the extra session which merged into
the regular session. A point of order
was raised by Mr.. Maddox dem, Ga.)
against the payment of mileage sec
ond time, and he was supported by Mr..
Littletield rep, Me- who contended
that there had been no interregnum,
and consequently but one session of
congress. and there is no authority Of
law for a second appropriation for
mileage. The interest manifested in
the question was shown by the fact
either side of the chamber when the
mileage item was reached. Mr. Little
field received close attention and was
piled with numerous questions as to
his Interpretation of the law and the
constitution. An adjournment was
taken before a conclusion was reached.
The senate adopted the resolution in
h,r r,,ll 80, ha
democratic caucus, which calls on the
president to state whether Che senate
had been supplied with all the facts
bearing on the controversy of Panama.
The vote on the resolution was unan-
imous, but there was roll call on the
amendment suggested by Senator Gull
lon, for the republican side of the
chamber calling Tor Information only
in case the president should consider
it not incompatible with the public in
terest to supply it. This amendment
was adopted by SO to 90 all the repub-
lican senators present voting for the
amendment and all the democrats, ex-
cept Senator McInery (who voted with
the republicans) casting their votes
against it. There were during tbs
debate frequent assurances that not
withstandng the modification all the
papers bearing on the question would
be sent to the senate. The Culberson
inquiry no sooner had been disposed
of than the Bacon resolution looking
to the adjustment Of our differences
with Colombia by arbitration was con-
sidered. Senator Bacon made an ex-
tended speech in support of the propo-
sition, holding that even if there was
no truth in Colombia's charges the
mere fact that charges were made
raised an issue which should be met in
a concillatory manner.

WARLlkE INTENTIONS.
Colombia Snid to Have Determined
to Send Expedition
Against Panama

Panama, Jan 30-News has reached
here from Bogota that insomuch as
Gems. Reyes and Cavallero have as
sured Colombia that the United States
will only object to her landing forces
in the canal zone. the Colombian gov.
eminent intends to organize and send
an expedition against Panama.
The only explanation of this news
from Bogota is that the government
Of Colombia Is compelled to take some
steps to prevent its downfall. This is
said, to be imminent. as President
MarroQuin has lost all the prestige he
ever had There is much speculation
in Bogota as to the outcome of this
move should 1t be put through.
