Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 6.-The
death of Rev. G. E. Bentley of Lincoln,
Neb., in lodging house has furnished
a case somewhat puzzling to the police
Rev. Bentley applied for a room
about o'clock Saturday night. He
was accompanied by a stylishly dress.
ed woman, who wore a thick black
veil. The landlady showed them to a
room. and while she was turning on
the light Bentley dropped to the floor
unconscious. The woman who accom-.
panied him told the landlady to go for
water, which she did. When she re.
turned moment later the mysterious
woman had disappeared. Mrs. Doug.
lass then went to seek assistance, but,
returning a few moments later, found
a young man by the name of Haines,
a ledger, holding Bentley's head. He
left, saying he was going for a doctor,
but has not been seen since. Mrs.
Douglass finally summoned the police,
but Bentley was dead.
When search of his clothing was
made it was found that his gold watch

PEACE RUMOR AGAIN
GRAND DUCAL PARTY said TO
have CHANGED their ideas.
St. Petersburg Correspondent of the
London Chronicle Says They Have
Had Several Conferences Lately
and Have Come to the Confusion
Now Is Good Time to Quit War.

London, Feb. S.-Highest authority
is claimed by the st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the London Daily Chron.
cile for the statement that the grand
ducal party had suddenly decided that
Russia must sue for peace. The cor.
respondent states that the grand dukes
and their supporters have held frequent
conferences of late, at which they dis.
cussed the far eastern war and came to
the conclusion that they could not
afford to continue the war under the
present conditions.
The immediate cause for this change
of mind on the part of the very men
who have eight along stood in way of
peace is said to have been the recent
disaster the Russian arms on the
Hun riv.r. Coupled with the news of
this defeat, has come to the grand
dukes the realizat alton that they can not
compete with Japanese ability to throw
army upon army into Manchuria, and
especially in view of the internal sit.
uation, which makes further mobiliza.
ton of reservist troops almost imposs.
ible.
The correspondent states that accord
ingly the Russian embassy at Paris has
been asked to gain the good will of
Great Britain with a view of mitigat-
ing the terms which Japan is likely to
impose.
