Heber Jones, who has been a mission
ary of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Corea since 1886, is here on fur
Tough. He says the missions are
dominated by the best spirit of friend
liness and cooperation, with sectarian
strife partially banished He be-
lieves the church property and mis-
sionaries will be respected by both
sides in event of war
There is much petty persecution
among the natives" said DR.. Jones,
because the conversion of a Corean
often results in a serious dislocation
OF the clan as well as Of social and
religious relationship of the communi-
ty, but it is rarely that one is forced
to apostatize once he has taken the
step Of destroying his household gods
and fetiches. and this all converts
do before they are recognized"

Police Believe They Have Established
Motive For Crime.
Bedford, Ind, Jan. Z5.-Detectives
at work on the mysterious murder of
Miss Mary Schaefer, teacher of Lat
III i'll the Bedford schools, believe they
have established a motive for the
CRIME; they are satisfied that the tall
man in the long overcoat, that was
seen lurking in tn evicinity of the
Johnson house, is the murderer a,
that this man is the one who was an.
noying Miss Schaefer.
The officers decline to mention the
name of the suspect" and when ask
ed If he is a stranger here, said it
would be unusual for a perfect stran-
ger in Bedford to know the location
OF the cab she'd though, they say,
he might not live in Bedford, and yet
be familiar with the locality at which
the crime was committed.
The theory of the police is that the
man who killed Sarah Schaefer was
capable of dealing a terrific blow, and
that he knew just where to strike
Further, that this man was anamored
of Miss Schaefer, and that she had
repulsed him. The idea OF the police
Is that this man brooding over his
passion for the young woman deter
mined to have an interview with her
and watched for her on this particular
night and as the one best suited for
mis- purpose. That he had made up
his mind to kill her if she again re-
scnted his advances and watched for
her as she left the Johnson boarding
house. He kept on the opposite side
OF the street until Captain Alexan-
der had entered the Windstandly
