SEOUL EDITOR IS ARRESTED
e. T. BETHEL, AN ENGLISHMAN,
ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Money to Pay Debt to Japan Has
Disappeared-British Consul
Enters an Objection.

SEOUL, July GA sensation has beer,
created by the arrest of the editor of the
Vernacular edition Of the Daily News
formerly owned by e. T. Bethel, an Eng
lshman who recently was sentenced to n
term In prison in Shanghai after conyfc-
tion In the British consular court of using
the columns Of his paper to incite the Ko-
reans to riot
Frlor TO his trial Bethel suspended pub
icatlon OF the English edition of the
News. The Korean editor of the paper ia
now charged with completely in the al
legged disappearance Of a portion Of what
Is known as the Korean national loan re-
demption fund, which amounted to CSC. 900
yen and was originally collected. partly
with the assistance Of Bethers newspaper.
with the object of paying the Korean ma
tional debt to Japan.
At one time the movement was. popular.
and poor people made many sacrifices,
even contributing their ornaments to the
fund because 1t represented the payment
Of the national debt, which, II was be-
i1eved. would free Korea from the yoke
of Japan. 1t Is now asserted by Bethel's
friends that the arrest of the Korean
editor OF the News was secured by the
Japanese because he WAS the chief wit
ness in behalf of Bethel during the lat
ter's trial
Japanese Are Silent.
Japanese officials in Korea declined to
be interviewed on this subject, merely
saying that the action against the editor
was taken by the Koreans because a
portion Of the fund certainly has disap-
peared from its place Of original deposit.
and therefore Korean subscribers are de-
manding to know its whereabouts which
probably will develop at the trial of the
editor, who will soon be given hearing.
The British consul has protested against
the arrest of the editor on the ground
that he is employed by British subject.
All evidence In the possession of the
prosecution has been placed in possession
of the British consul. who is understood
to have submitted the question to Am
bassador Mcdonald and also to the British
government.

was long chief clerk. and before his death
at q ripe old age filled his fathers place.
There were on the rolls in 1900 the names
Of Charles and Henry Nourse. In the
twenties Maj. Charles ]. Nourse was the
acting adtutant general of the army, and
on the registers roll were Joseph X. and
John r. Nourse.
Among the original clerks was Joseph
Stretch. one Of the three survivors of the
eight clerks of the register who remained
at their posts In Philadelphia during the
yellow fever epidemic in 1894. Mr.. Stretch
on arriving here settled on 10th street
south OF G street and was succeeded in
Office by his son. and they were active in
the furtherance of the interests of that
village-like portion of Washington.
The father was prominent as fireman
in the company organized at the west
market in 1904. John MCGOWAN lived on

Taft is the conceded nominee of
the republican party for president
and 1t is more than probable that
Bryan will be the democratic NOM
inee, but Bryan must receive two
thirds of the votes to receive the
nomination, while a majority will
give 1t to Taft. The two-thirds rule
in democratic national conventions
should be abrogated and a majority
permitted to rule. The trusts are
not particularly anxious to see either
of these men occupy the presidential
chair, but there may be no escape and
their only hope now Is to defeat
Bryan by the use of the two-thlrds
rule.
