The United States Takes a
Hand IN the Far East
ern Trouble.
A PRECAUTIONARY STEP
Marines We're Landed at Seoul, Cap
itaI of Corea, to Protect the
American Legation.
This Is Taken to Indicate That the
Crisis Is Drifting to the
|. Danger Point.

London, Jan. 6.-"Nobody will sus-
pect the captain of an American man
of-war of being a scheming alarmist, =
says the Standard editorially this
morning. This sentence expresses
the view taken by the press of Great
Britain of the grave condition of
things in the far East as revealed by
the fact that the United States gov
eminent finds it necessary to send
marines to Seoul for the protection
of American interests. While it is
still hoped that peaceful issue may
be found, this action of the United
States is held to indicate that the
view of the situation taken at Wash
ington is that the crisis is drifting
rapidly TO the danger point
The action of the United States gov
eminent is generally approved. The
Morning Post says editorially: THE
landing of American marines proves
that the United States is not watch
ing the far Eastern imbroglio without
intelligent interest We hope they
will be accompanied by British ma
rines"

New Trial for knann.

Hamilton, Ohio, Jan. 6.-Alfred A.
Knapp, the Indianapolis wife stranger,
who was in the Ohio penitentiary
awaiting execution, has been granted
a new trial by Judge Swing of the cir
cult court. The decision of the court
was based on errors in the first trial,
and the whole affair will have to be
gone over again. The first trial cost
the state $4,000. The chief error, the
court held, was in permitting Knapp's
written confession of five murders to
be read to the jury.

A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
Intimations That Russia May Make
Concessions to Japan's Pride.

Paris, Jan. ct has developed that
the greatest difference between Russia
and Japan arises from the proposal
made by Russia that a neutral zone
shall be established extending from
Ping Yang in Corea on the South to
the Russian frontier on the North
The Russian government has ex-
pressed a Willingness to recognize the
preponderating influence of Japan in
the remainder of Corea and the two
powers are agreed respecting the prin-
ciple Of the integrity Of China and of
Corea. Japan, however, saw no rea-
son why the proposed neutral zone
should be established, holding that the
entire peninsula should be subject to
her preponderating influence.
The attitude of Russia is believed
to be due to the fact that if Japan
controls Corea she will thereby be able
to more easily menace Port Arthur as
well as Vladivostock. The diplomat
who gave out the foregoing informa-
ton expressed himself as confident
that Russia in her reply to Japan will
give way on this vital point.

labor system. Governor Durbin, War
den Reid of Michigan City and others
who have carefully considered the
problem opposed this, SO the board was

and to report to the next legislature
on solution of the problem. The gov
ernor, Warden Reid, Superintendent

rotary of the board of state charities
are some of the members. Meetings
have been held at Michigan City and

ers and union laborers don't like to
compete with ccn-ict-made goods, yet
some of the best prison reform men
in the state say that it would be out
of the question to abolish the contract
labor system, as the prisoners must
have regular employment The. board
will have an extensive report on the

Colonel i. :. Smith, ex-coaAty auditor,

popular with the younger members of

Mayor Bookwaiter's machine was
dominant, but Colonel Smith is strong
or with the men who helped to defeat
the Republicans in the recent city
campaign. Acting upon tho advice of

workers have held a meeting and ap-
pointed a committee to urge both
Smith and Rothschild to get out Of
the race in the interest of party har-

very likely, however, that both will
be defeated by one of the dark

Warden Reid of the state prison,
who is rapidly developing into one of
the best prison men in the country,
told your correspondent some inter
esting facts today regarding the indie
terminate sentence law, which is as
sailed by many people. He declared
that this law is driving the profession
al criminal class out of Indiana, as the
population at the state prison shows
that it was much lower last year than
it has been for a long time. tThe av-
erage professional criminal" said he,
figures carefully every chance when
he commits a crime. He will figure
just how long he will have to remain
in prison if he is caught and convicted.
Under the old system he generally
knew whether he would get one, two
or five years, but under the indeter-
inmate sentence law there is too much
uncertainty. He don't like the idea Of
going to prison for from two to four
teen years, so rather than face that
problem he is going to other states,
where he will know beforehand what
he will get if caught" Warden Reid
is an enthusiastic advocate of the in
determinate law.
