PARIS, March 31.--Whatever nope
fulness the peace situation may have
had some days ago, the situation has
now completely changed and there
Is every prospect that the war will
drag on again. Consequently the dis
patches to the effect that Foreign
Minister Del Casse and DR.. Motono,
the japanese minister to France. have
been comforting at the formers house
relative to peace are inaccurate. DR..
Motono made the statement to the
associated press today in which he
said: II tell you explicitly that there
are no peace negotiations or plelim-
inaries for initiating"
For initiating peace negotia-
tions in progress at this time
so far as am aware, and be.
lieve my information Is complete. The
statements that have conferred with
M. Del Casse at his residence are
false and are calculated to confuse a
situation which is perfectly plain.
There is no representation of Japan
authorized at this time to discuss
peace or foreshadow. in the least
what conditions the Japanese govern
'lnent might consider II the negotia-
tions assumed practical stage. On
the contrary Japan is now engaged in
conducting military campaign and
she will resolutely proceed with that
important work"

and Killed at Lobbyby Edward Gray
Victim Had Been Abusive Possibly Threatening But Was Unarmed

slbliy On Gray-PreImnary Hearing Post.
poned Until Tuesday,

About s o'clock last night Edward
Gray, bar.keeper at the Lobby, shor
and killed Chile De Faeter, q switch.
man. who had worked in the city for
three months under the name q
VBrien Cayou. Faeter had been
drinking heavily and was abusive and
possibly threatening, but he was un.
armed. The feeling generally express.
ed is that the shooting was not justi-
fled. However, 1t should be said that
Gray's story has not been told.
The affair is the most regrettable
that has taken place in the city for
long time. The victim had the rep
utation of being generally quiet and
inoffensive, and he had made himself
popular with many of the local rail.
way men. Gray had always
behaved himself we'll since he
came here several months ago. There
was considerable wild and irresponsi-
Bile talk on the streets last night and
the marshal thought it best to trans
fer the prisoner to the county jail.
In order that no injustice may be
done, inadvertently, it will be best to
tell the story Of the shooting in the
words of the witnesses before the COR
oner's jury, empaneled by Judge
Wooster this morning.
Story of Comrade.
w. V. Dudleson, handsome young
fellow. who told clear and concise
story, said that the right name of de
ceased was De Faeter, though he
went here by the name of Cayou
Witness came here about three
months ago from Sault Ste. Marie. He
was with Faeter last .eyening, had
taken a drink with him and others
at the Annex, and there De Faeter had
had a few words with Mr.. Truder over
the winnings of slot machine. They
had also been at the Antlers. A little
before 5 o'clock Faeter had invited
witness to go with him to the Lobby
for drink. He had said he would
take just another, as he had an en-
gagement at 8 o'clock. Accordingly,
they had gone to the Lobby and had
ordered whiskey. but Gray refused to
drink with them. This. Faeter re-
garded as an insult, and brought up a
former occasion upon which he claim
ed Gray had insulted him. Gray said
that was all past now, but Faeter said
he wouldn't forget 1t. Witness said
that Faeter was abusive, but that he
had been drinking freely. After Fac
ter applied an epithet, Gray reached
under the bar and drew out revolver.
Witness threw his arm up and the
gun went off, sending a bullet through
the roof Gray then aimed the gun
at Faeter, and fired. This was the
fatal shot. Faeter bent forward and
staggered into the gambling room.
Gray followed and fired two more
shots.
When he came out he chased wit
ness around the stove and struck him
in the face with the revolver. Wit
ness, acting on advice freely rendered,
hastened outside. Answering ques-
tions. the witness said he did not hear
any talk of trouble during the after
noon between Gray and Faeter over
the winnings of a slot machine. Meth
er did he see anything that could ac-

and fractured jaw, but he was Ger.
tain that there were no marks on the
mans face when he entered the Lob
by.
In conversation, Mr.. Dudleson said
that he had known DE Faeter off and
on for two years, that he met him a
little more than three months ago in
Missoula, Mont, and they had come to
Las Vegas together. He had last
worked for the Southern Pacific and
Mr.. Dudleson showed discharge pa.
per made out in the name of Cayou-
a name assumed because De Faeter
had once been blacklisted. The
young man also said that De Faeter
was unmarried, but had a father and
mother living somewhere in Michigan
a sister in Chicago and brother,
probably in San Francisco.
Inc ChefS Evtoence.
A. H. Bease, night chef at the Lobby,
said that he was busy with his work
and heard some quarreling going on,
but paid no attention to 1t. A shot
was fired. Then he walked out from
behind the lunch counter and noticed
that Faeter. who had been at the far
end of the bar, had come down to the
end and that Gray with revolver in
his hand was at the same end but in
side. He heard Gray say, you shan't
come round the bar after me-" or
words to that effect, and then another
shot was fired, Faeter staggered into
the gambling room and fell to the
floor, Gray following into the room
and firing one shot downward through
the floor. Then. Gray started after
Dudleson, firing another shot through
the floor as he came. He struck Dud-
Lesson with his left hand, his revolver
remaining in his right hand and then
started to get another gun. Dudleson,
meanwhile escaped.
Mr. Bease said that Gray calmly
changed his shoes, DOTTED his apron,
put on his cuffs and his coat and when
the night marshal came volunteered
to go with him.
Gray Arrested.
However, when Officer Bach at
tempted to take the gun under the bar
Gray protested that he should touch
nothing belonging to the house and
took 1t away from him. Witness
knew nothing Of the story of trouble
in the afternoon.
Night Marshal Bach happened to
be in the neighborhood of the saloon
just after the shooting and was told
by some OF the boys that man inside
was dead He went in and after ap-
pealing to several in vain learned
from Mr.. Bease, the chef, that Gray
had done the killing. Bach's story Of
the arrest conforms with Bease's. On
the way to the station, MIR. Gray said
to the officer that no one could take
the house while he was in charge, or
something to that effect. Further
than that he has made no statement.

Indemnity Bases.
LONDON, March 31.-Peace talk
is prevalent everywhere. but that
negotiations have commenced Is still
denied in all official circles here.
M. Takashki, the Japanese special
financial commissioner, in an inter.
view yesterday said to the associated
press:
"The war cost between $3.50. 900 900
and $200,00O.O00 the first year and 1t
is estimated 1t will cost $3.50. .000. 900
during the present year. It would be
unprecedented in the history Of great
wars that no indemnity and no terri.
tory be given up by The vanquisAed.
While it is beyond my province to dis
cuss the terms OF peace. I can express
my personal opinion that as the war
was forced upon Japan, 1t is not like
ly she will waive the right to an in
demnity and concession OF territory
when concluding peace. What indem-
nifty will be asked, cannot say, but
1t is my private opinion that 1t will
at least cover the expenses OF the
war"

Gray was brought over 10 Judge

1t is known that during yesterday

some difficulty over a slot machine.
The machine was broken. De Faeter
played a nickle and all the money In
the machine ran out. Gray objected
that the money belonged to the house
and prevented De Faeter from taking
It as he wanted to. However, the ev.

The victim OF Gray's attack was a tall

young fellow. Gray has the reputation

regret that such an occurrence should
have taken place in an establishment

He Says Town and County should

mcnt M Roads - shows How the
State Can Assist aud rront Greatly.
do not come to you 10 talk Of the
value Of good roads or to say beautiful
things about them, but To tell you how
they are to be had, said {. NJ, Hanna
In an address before the farmers in
Stitute held in Livingston county, Ky.
When building OF any kind is contem.
plated the first thing that demands at.
teution is where Is the money to come
from; who must pay for Il! l answer,
all who are benefited by IL, the pro
duccr and consumer alike Hence,
effort for the hcttcrmcnt OF roads.
Will prove by figures taken from
the auditors report that the state can
assist the counties In road building and
be greatly prohted thereby, While
will not argue the question NJ length
l believe the national government
should aid In road building, The
Rrowulow bin now before congress- is
admirably adapted to accomplish good
to the whole nation, II some plan
could be put in operation by which the
nation state, county and locality
could join In building good roads cv-
erywhere. II would not cost anybody
anything. The Increased prosperity re
Sulting to the nation would enable II
with ease 70 pay its part, The increase
in taxable value OF property would en-
able the state and county 10 pay their
part without increasing the rate. The
increase In money value and utility of
farms will always pay back to the
farmer in time his cost in building the
part of TIM road falling to his lot.
In proof of the proposition that Il
would not cost the nation, state, county
and locality anything to build good
roads, recall that more than II hun.
drcd years ago Napoleon the Great
commenced building good roads IN
France, and the work was kept ny
until, under Napoleon Ill, they Were
brought to Il very high degree Of
perfection. Tho primary object was
military success by rendering mobili
2ation Of army and collecting OF sup
plies more rapid When they proved
Intellectual in her war with Germany
which resulted In great loss OF territory
and enormous debt, the good roads OF
France enabled her farmers and mer
chants to assume the debt, while we OF
the United States had TO 70 abroad for
the money to pay FOR one great war
as we had no important good roads.
Eighty years ago the state OF Ken
lucky, under the leadership OF III,
great Henry Clay, undertook to assist
in building roads. A splendid road was
