JAP TERMS MUST BE
MODIFIED FOR ACCEPTANCE

St. Petersburg, Aug. I5-The ASso-
ciated Press is in a position to declare
that practically the only hope enter
tained in high Russian official quarters
for peace agreement at the conference
at Portsmouth lies in the expectation
that Japan will recede materially from
her terms as published. Official and
public sentiment regarding the posi-
blities of peace, outlined to the ASSo-
ciated Press by an official who has con-
slant and close relations with the high
est authorities, is as follows:
That the terms are regarded in their
entirety as quite impossible of accep-
tance, and close scrutiny has not remov-
ed the very unfavorable impression the
first reading has produced here. If they
are not modified, especially in the mat
tiers of indemnity and territorial con-
cessions, it is thought, is impossible,
and a continuance of negotiations Use
less Russia is honestly and sincerely
desirous of securing honorable and last
ing peace and to this end has sent her
plenipotentiaries to Portsmouth, They
did not journey thither merely to learn
Japanese demands; the nature of their
credentials proves that, but they went
in the earnest endeavor to do everything
possible to terminate the war in a man
ner compatible with the dignity of
great nation.
"The Japanese terms are regarded in
Russia as demands which might be
made upon an utterly crushed and pow
erless enemy, but it is absurd to propose
them to power like Russia, which has
half million in the field facing the
enemy" .-,.......

Girl BurieS a Note and Wins Wealth

Omaha, Neb., Aug. I5.-A generous
block of stock in a rich gold mine and
a prospective. husband are what Miss
Marion Mcnamara has thus far got
from little note which she hastily
scribbled in pencil and buried up in the
mountains of Utah several years ago.
Miss McNamara is the daughter Of
James Mcnamara, a member OF the
Omaha fire department, and is an op-
orator. in the employ of the, Nebraska
Telephone Co. in this city. Her father
is poor, and ever since she was young
girl in short skirts she has had to earn
her own livelihood.
Three or four years ago she was
visiting friends in Park City, Utah.
One day they took her up in the noun
tains for an outing. ~,
Miss McNamara, you are standing
directly over a body of very rich ore" }"
said one of the young ladys friends,

This note she put in an old powder can
which she found lying at her feet, and
digging hole in the ground, buried it.
She returned to her home in Omaha a
few days later and forgot ali about the
incident. 3s s53s s, s5.

who had written the note and buried it.
He admits that but for the note he
would not have made the find.
In his gratitude he wrote Miss Nc
