LONDON, Feb. 3.-There is high
diplomatic authority for the following
statement:
On the initiative Of the German gov
ernment an interview took place Mon
day at Berlin between Chancellor Won
Buelow and Sir Frank Lascelles, the
British ambassador, at which the for
mer proposed that efforts be made by
Germany and Great Britain to secure
peace between Russia and Japan.
The informant believes this confer
ence was preceded by an interchange Of
views by King Edward and the kaiser.
A double motive for this action is as
cribed to the German emperor. One
is that he seeks to damage the alliance
between France and Russia, and the
other is that he desires to destroy the
anti-German feeling in England.

BOLT STRIKES A

BURNS TO GROUND
Structure on the Corner of Iowa and

Flames During the Storm
and Is Destroyed
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Feb. 3.-During the
sharp thunder shower soon after
o'clock this afternoon lightning struck
the North Methodist church and the
building burned to the ground within
an hour and half. George Newman
of North Fair Oaks avenue was the
first person to see the flames bursting
from the tower a few minutes after a
in the vicinity.
Hastily calling the fire department
and giving the local alarm, he unlocked
the church and within a few minutes
all of the chairs, pulpit furniture, car
pets, china, stoves and piano were
taken to neighboring houses. In the
haste the piano was dropped and some
what broken.
BY the time the fire engines had made
the hard run up the nearly two miles OF
to save the building.
The church was rebuilt two years
ago and was valued at $4,000, with an in
surance of $35OO. Rev. ]. G. Elliott is
the pastor. The church was located
at the corner of Iowa and Washington
streets.
II. C. Mercer, who lives just east Of
the church, thought for a time that
their cottage must be ruined, but the
wind from the east saved it, as the
flames and smoke blew to the north
west.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Feb. 3.-Standing room
was at premium when the Hays and
Diss indictment cases were called in
the superior court at II a. m. today.
Judge Taggart of Santa Barbara pre-
sided and a notable array of legal tai
ent was lined up before him. II. T.
Hays, the alleged bank wrecker and
CRATER" was represented by e. A,
Meserve and Earl Rogers of Los An
geles and l.. Gill of Riverside, and
District Attorney Evans was assisted
by Oscar Lawler, the Los Angeles
orator.
The hour before adjournment was
taken up with the reading of the ten
indictments. Neither of the defend
ants entered a plea at this session.
The case was called again at 1 p. IN.
when pleas of not guilty were entered
by both defendants Attorney Rogers
then refused to accept the testimony
taken before the grand jury, alleging
that it should have been presented
when the indictments were read. He
then moved to set aside the indict-
ments on the ground of prejudice on
the part of the grand jurors; that the
grand jury was improperly drawn;
that it engaged special attorneys to
conduct the prosecution before testi-
mony was taken; that no copy of the
testimony taken was furnished the de-
PENDANTS.
The examination of the grand jurors
as to their qualification then COM
menced.
Judge Noyes Testifies
The feature of the afternoon proceed
ings was the testimony offered by
Judge Noyes who was put on the stand
by Attorney Earl Rogers to prove that
he packed the grand jury in an attempt
to "do" his former friend and political
manager Fl. II. Hays.
did you not know that the men,
bers of the grand jury were biased
and did you not state to members of
the grand jury that they had been
selected because they were enemies of
Hays and enemies of yours?" asked
ROSeTS.
To this rather pointed inquiry Judge
Noyes replied that he did not say this
in so many words, but that to members
of the grand jury he had declared that
he wanted them to probe to the bottom
of the reports of grating" by certain
supervisors, Inspector Carroll and Fl. II.
Hays. In order that no bias might ap-
pear in the prosecution in the indict-
ments returned by the 1908 grand jury
he had called in judges from other
counties to try the cases.
81 didn't mention myself, because I
knew I hadn't done anything, con-
cluded the judge.
Several grand jurors were examined,
both at the afternoon and evening ses-
sion, and all declared that they were
not prejudiced against Hays, though
some were losers through his defalca-
tion from the Orange Growers Ma

any ever attracted by the plots of
villains who connive at the hero's
downfall in the home of melodrama
struck mighty blow at iniquity in all

The walls of the theater echoed and

Visiting evangelists, local ministers,

singing songs of Christ and carrying

JAPANESE oUTNUMBEREp
But Russians Attacked Under Cir
cumstances of Great Difficulty
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Jan. 80, noon, via Tien Tsin,
Feb. 3.-Delayed in transmission)-Th
Russian attempt to turn General Okus
left flank has proved complete fail
ure. This, it is thought by the Japan
ese, following on the failure of the A'e-
cent cavalry raid down the railway, will
induce the Russians to await in the
future the Japanese attack.
The attempt, even with the lombard
ment of other portions of the line or
cavalry movement around the flank,
was doomed to failure from the start.
The Japanese were at Heikoutai but
withdrew their small force from there
and allowed the Russians to occupy the
positions until they could move over
enough men to make its recapture cer-
tain. The reoccupation of this posi-
tion was easily accomplished, although
| the loss was heavy. The casualties
have not yet been reported, but it is
believed that they will amount to fully
three thousand.
The Russians had five divisions en-
gagged at Heikoutai, and in that direc-
ton. They were driven back by less
than two Japanese divisions.
Large Forces Engaged
over 100000 men were engaged in the
Russian demonstration against the
Japanese positions Immediately east of
Hekoutai, with force strong enough
to have been successful, as only about
one Japanese division was sent against
them. The Russian loss is estimated
at over four thousand, although pris-
oners say that one regiment was prac-
tically annihilated. The Japanese loss
is only placed at 200, due to the fact
that they remained in their trenches
while the Russians were forced to cross
open ground, solidly frozen, where the
construction of shelter trenches was
| impossible.
The ground being covered with snow
was naturally great disadvantage to

Shortly before II o'clock the meeting
was dismissed and the procession be-

They marched in fours headed by the
Salvation Army with brass band.
Behind them came j. Wilbur Chapman,
his wife and members of the party.
