TRIPLE MURDER
MAY Be WORK
OF JAP TOYAMA
Theory That Blunder Was
Made IN Picking Wrong
Mission is Advanced.
WAN VIRTUALLY CLEAR
Police Seek Ambidextrous,
Highly-Trained Slayer in
Deep Mystery.

Sitting of evidence in the strange
murder Of the three Chinese educa-
tional commissioners here has led the
police to believe that when the slayer
is found he will prove to be ambideX-
trous, a member of an Oriental band
trained to use with facility knife or
pistol with either hand.
As result of a ten-hour ErilllnE
OF Il S. Wan, the young Chinese ar
rested in New York Saturday and
brought here last night, the police are
agreed they have no reason to fasten
the triple crime upon him. He has
told in detail every step he made
from tho afternoon of Wednesday. the
supposed day of the Staying. until he
reached New York early Thursday.
He will be held here several days to
aid the police in considering various
clues, but will be given his liberty
when he requests it.
Slayer's Nationality Puzzle.
The police have constructed the
story of what took place in the beau
tiful residence occupied by members
OF the mission. on the night Of the
murders From this story they have
Contrived to formulate a. description
Of the murderer. The chief point at
issue in describing the suspect is the
determination of his nationality.
From VANS story 1t appears he
left tho mission early Wednesday
evening. 1t was his intention to 20
to New York for a few weeks and
then return to Washington. For that
reason he left many OF his personal
effects at the house. During the even
ing DR.. T. T. Wong. head Of the mis-
sion, and his secretaries, Usie and
WI, were at dinners at downtown
restaurants.
The theory is now generally accept
cd that agents of a powerful interest
arrived in Washington carly last
week; that they were instructed to
shadow the three members Of a Chi
nese mission which was IN no way
officially connected with the Chinese
Legation. 1t Is assumed the word had
been flashed from the Far East that
the three members of the mission
were a menace to the successful con-
Clusion Of peace moves being made in
Payis.

Special Cable to Universal Service.
Paris. Feb. Some people de-
clare the Peace Conference does not
work enough and shows little
method and progress in its debates.
Seriously speaking, what do these
critics expect?
Inside of one week the confer
ence decided to create a society of
nations. and, even before actually
existing. this society assumes the
task of settling all international
conflicts. takes charge of the Ger
man colonies. organizes Poland,
manages the coal districts of upper
Silesia contested between the
Czechs and Poles. declares open in
heritance to Asiatic Turkey, and ex-
terminates all traces of previous
diplomatic contracts.
Criticism Not Logical.
Such an accomplishment is open
to many criticisms. but not to that
of lack of activity or systematic
procedure. A record was made in the
examination of the Turkish Ques-
ton. Up to the afternoon OF jan

The Washington herald., 1919-02-03

Paris, Feb. 1t is just as impor-
tant TO correct the judgment Of the
situation here and that the public
should know the actuating motives as
10 know the acts.
AL the allies at once agreed to the
principle of the league of nations.
Why? Because II was clearly evident
that the only alternative to the leagu
Of nations was TO end the war on the
basis OF the European settlement
which would contain the germs OF a
future war.
The plain people Of Europe would
not have stood for a practical declara-
ton by the conference that it felt no
responsibility for safeguarding the fu-
ture peace of the world. That would
have meant instant rcvolts.
Wilson Holds Key.
So the delegates Of all the Euro
Pean countries really had no choice
but to agree TO the Wilson plan in
principle. Having made this sacrI-
tiCc for the benefit of the people
they then began to devote them
selves 10 achieving selfish national
desires.
II President Wilson had not taken
flrm stand for a league Of nations
II practically would have been
merely a combination to assure per
manent possession of territorial
gains and other advantages to those
unfortunate enough to secure them.
1t would not bc fair to say that
those seeking the advantages were
knowingly hypoCritICaI in sUbsCrIb-
ing TO the league Of nations. Hut
il is a fact that some of them see
their own wants much more clearly
than they do tho needs Of humanity.
Fights for Worlds Interests.
President Wilson's task has been 20
convince them that the worlds best
interests and their own best interests
were identical and that the world ;
best interests must have preference.
Americas unSelnsh position gave force
to President Wilson's arguments.
As tho work Of the conference de-
veToPs and the intrigue OF European
and oriental diplomacy stands forth,
it is more and more evident that the
worst thing that could happen to Ger
tam Old World statesmen would be
to have the American President
leave Paris with his reasonable and
right requests IN the interest Of all
peoples denied.
This week will be a league Of ma
