MIGHT LISTEN
TO ROOSEVELT
President Urged to Offer His Serv-
ices to Warning Nations.
NOT LIKELY TO COMPLY
BERLIN OFFICIALS SEE NO SIGN
OF PEACE.

Washington. Feb. @ President
Roosevelt was urged today to take
action looking to the termination or
the Russo-Japanese war The request
was made by the Interparliamentry
union through the president of the or
ganization. Representative BarthoIdt
OF Missouri. DR.. Bartholdt explained
to the president that the cOncensus OF
opinion among the members OF the
union and among European parliament
tarians with whom he is in CORES
pondence was that the president OF the
United States was the one man, with
the possible exception of the emperor
of Germany. who indicated no dispp-
sition to try to bring the war to an
end. who might be listened TO on the
subject with favor by Russia Or.
Bartholdt pointed out that although
Russia had let il be understood that
any offer Of mediation from whatever
source would be not only unweicomc.
but would be regarded as an unfriendly
act, such an attitude was i'm violation
of the plain stipulations of The Hague
convention, of which Russia WAS not
only party. but of which the car was
the moving power. The president gave
DR. BarthOldt no definite assurances
beyond promising to consider the mat
ter with Secretary Hay. It is known
10 be quite unlikely that this govern
ment will take any action looking TO
mediation until some assurances have
been received from other parties to
the pending conflict that such action
would not be unwelcOme.

tilted i'm behalf of the contestee i'm the

election officials who testified to know
ing many voters whom Peabody ex-
perts and canvassers declared had no

perts had pronounced fraudulent
At the night session a number of
voters identified their ballots from al
legged spurious ones, including persons
who had served as election officials.
In all instances they testified that the
conduct of the election was regular;
that there was no complaint from any
source whatever and the few challen-
ges that We're made were disposed of
according to the election laws and sat-
isfactory to all concerned
From some of the precincts in which
witnesses who testified tonight live the
experts reported from a dozen to half
hundred bogus ballots. On cross
examination of voters who had served
as Republican challengers. watchers,
clerks and judges. it developed that
Peabody was freely scratched. although

COLORADO RIVER RISING.
Yuma, Ariz., Again Threatened
With Destruction.

Los Angeles. Cal. Feb "a special
to the Times from Yuma, AriZ., says:
The Colorado river has risen three
and one-half feet in twenty-fouF hours
At midnight last night it registered
twenty-nine feet, which is the highest
water since the 1891 food. when il was
thirty-three feet. and the town was
wiped out. Citizens with shovels and
scraper teams have labOred all day
strengthening weak points The gov
eminent levee on the ella side is gen
\ orally conceded to be safe, but the en-
bankments on the Colorado river are
causing grave apprehension, as several
breaks occurred there today, one near
the territorial prison and another close
to the Yuma Water & Light company s
power house. Had these breaks Oc-
Cured at night the loss of life might
have been great. but hundreds of will
ing hands soon saved the town for the
present. All points are being closely
guarded.
The river at the foot Of Main street
is half a mile wide. and at the second
bridge is still wider. The irrigation
canals below town are being taxed TO
the utmost. but SO far all the heaagates
are holding out.

sci tonight in which it is said she ex-
onerates Greason from completely in
the murder. The statement viii not be
given to the public until it is presented

that Edwards was killed While he lay
