RUSSIA BACKS DOWN
Comedies Demands of Japs In
Far East .mbroglio.
FRANCE WOULD NOT GIVE ARMED HELP
st. Petersburg Government Is Still
Unwilling to Recognize China's
Sovereignty Rights In
Manchuria,

LONDON, Jan. 81. Lord Lans-
downe's reception at the foreign office
| was attended by almost all the ambas-
sailors and ministers in London, includ-
Ing the American, Russian, Japanese,
German and French representatives.
At the end of the reception it was Off
cially stated that the situation looked
perhaps slightly more hopeful, but as
the Russian reply apparently is not yet
drafted no definite statement could
safely be made.
The foreign Office has reason to be-
lieye, however, that Russia is willing
to concede practically all of Japan's de-
mands, but she cannot see her way to
make a treaty with Japan recognizing
in black and white China's sovereign
ty over Manchuria. Russia has ap-
preached Great Britain to urge Japan
to forego this stipulation and to accept
in lieu thereof the assurances to the
same end already given to the other
powers. 1t is pointed out at the for
eign Office hat Great Britain, being
such an interested party, is in a diff
cult position and can scarcely recon-
mend such a course to her ally. For
the moment the situation rests there.
Whether or not Japan will insist to the
bitter end on a treaty recognizing Chi
nese sovereignty over Manchuria the
foreign office does not yet know. 1t
thinks the japanese themselves will
not decide until after the delivery Of
the Russian reply.
japanese newspapers publish a re-
port that Russia has decided to appeal
to the powers to avert war. This is
regarded here as proof of Russia's I'M
readiness to make satisfactory conces-
sions.
A high official said that the anti
American irritation in certain govern
ment quarters at st. Petersburg is due
to the conviction that Japan's agrees
siveness is largely the result of the
American attitude, which presumably
is based ON fear that the Manchurian
treaties will not be respected, although,
the official insisted, the United States
was informed months ago that Russia
would recognize them.
A report from IuflS says FRANCE mas
declined to give Russia any assurances
of armed help, should war be the out
come of the far eastern differences,
even should Great Britain aid Japan.
A late dispatch from Seoul says the
emperor of Korea has ordered that
700 r%evolvers and clubs be C.~r'"3uted
to the "peddlers," who are ~nOih.nally
secret police and a dangerous c-o-lent.
Many Americans are leaving Seoul,
fearing trouble.

BEcHTEI- TRIAL.
Members of the Family WIFI Testifg
In Mothers Defense.

ALLENTOWN, Pa.,fJan. 2H- The
battle of the experts on blood in the
Bechtel trial has come to an end, ana
every member of the Bcciltel fam
lily will be placed on the witness stand
in an endeavor to prove that the aged
mother is not guilty of being an acces.
sorry after the fact in the killing of her
hayward daughter Mabel. The defense
called six experts, and, each declared
that the biological. or Eordet, test. the
new method for determining the differ
ence between human and animal blood,
was not a standard one and that it was
unreliable.
The experts called testified that only
II of the many articles taken from
the Bechtel home contained human
blood and that one was the undervest
worn by the girl when she was found
dead.
Before the defense opened its case
the court was asked to instruct the jury
to render a verdict of not guilty, be-
cause not sufficient evidence had been
presented to hold Mrs. Bechtel, but the
court decided that the trial should pro-
coed, Judge Trexler adding that he did
not wish at this time to pass upon the
merits of the evidence presented.
Attorney Schaadt in opening the case
for the defense said he would prove
that all the stains were either from to-
bacco juice or from Thomas Bechtel's
dog. He said it would also be shown
that no member Of the Bechtel family
had a hand in the killing of Mabel and
that she was murdered away from
home.
