lt is doubtful if thc case will bc reached

other quite important and lengthy suits.
Fodrea takes his indictment with the
same show of indifference tliat has char
acterized his demeanor heretofore, and
continues to maintain his innoceiicc. As
his crime?murder in the lirst degree?is
not bailable in Indiana, Fodrea will bc
compelled to lie in jail until his trial.
His attorneys are bending every encrgy
to make a defense which they hope will

HUDSPETH SEEN
IN WASHINGTON
Little Doubt That He Was
There a Few Days
Ago.
With tho almost certain knowledge
whfch reached Kichmond yesterday that
Mr. Charles H. Hudspeth, who dlsap
r-eared from the Alhambra Hotel in this
city early last Thursday morning, is l"^"n?
ard is probably now in Washington,
Ih.re came out alsb a statement showmg
that ho is decply- cntanglod linanctaliy,
ar.d in this entanglcment lies the cause
of his disappearance, On many sides
li-re Mr. Hudspeth owes considcrabie
r.icney, having been.caught.on the wrong
tide of the grain market a. short while
ago when a slump came. It now seems
possible, too, that Mr. Hudspeth will he
back in Richmond within a few days.
Investigations made yesterday developed
the statements that Mr. Hudspeth re?
cently mado many thousands of dollars
ln a grain deal and that he lost this ana
a great deal more, plunglng himself sadiv
irio debt in further operations. There
are now standing on the sidctracks here
many carloads of grain consigncd to Mr.
Hudspeth, and all this will go back to
the shippers. His ofiice fixtures at No.
1(10 Fast Canal Street. lt is stated,, have
1-ten indisposed of under a deed of trust to
a preferred creditor. .
Others of his creditors are ihe Virginia
Electrical Railway and Development Com
r-any Mayo, Denoon -i Company, riic
"'owc'r-Blnford Company and one or two
c'her srain concerns. .
A special to Thc Times from Washing?
ton says: . __.-_.,,
It is believed by several people in A \ asn
ington that Charles H. Hudspeth. who
disappeared from Richmond last Tiitirs
dav. is in Washington, or was on Sat?
urday night. The most rcliable informa?
tion comes from Mr. A. C. Walter, an em?
ploye of the Southern Railway Company,
who cLeclarcs that hc saw Hudspeth on
Pennsylvania Avenue at half-past 10
o'clock Saturday ni$ht.
"I walked behind him for two snuares
and am positive it was Hudspeth. It was
raining hard, and he had neither over
ceat nor umbrclla. I knew Mr. Tluds
peth in Danville flfteen years ago, a.nd
there can be no mistake."
When seen by the representative of
The Times lo-day Mr.- Taylor said further
that hc had seen Captain W.. H. Curtis
at the railroad station on Sunday after?
noon and had asked bini to notify Mr.
Hudspeth's family in Richmond that he
had seen him.
An inquiry at Hotel Johnson, into
which Taylor says Hudspeth went. failed
<<? bring" forth any information. The
Washington police have had no communi?
cation on the matter from Richmond.
Captain Curtis returned from Wash?
ington Sunday and yesterday notifled the
brother of Mr. Hudspeth of thc circum?
stances under which thc latter v.-as seen.
Steps wero at once taken to havo thc
ini.sing man located.

ROW OVER CHINA.

(By Associated Press.)
PEKIN. March 10.?Tho policies of Ger?
many and Great Britain in China. which
Great Britain hopcd had b.cn consoli?
dated by thc signing of tho YaJrig Tsc
agreement a year ago. have developed an
antagonism equal to that of Russia and
Japan over Manchuria, also seriously in
volving thc interests of other nations.
Germany is the only power refusing to
agree to thc reduction of the large gar
risons the European governments are
mahitaining at Ticntsin and the rcstora
tion of the control ot" the native city of
Ticntsin to thc Chinese,
Thc British diplomats are trying to
help the Chinese to regain the Govern?
ment of Ticntsin, and thc reason for the
British action in blocking tho payment
of thc February instalment of the Chin?
ese indemnity was to bring Germany to
terms. The British believe Germany is
using Tienlsin as an inducement to tha
Chinese to grant her a. practical monopoly
of thc mines ln Shan Tung province.
American mflucncc also is being used
to restore Ticntsin to tho Chinese,

that he had withdrawn as counsel tor
the strikers and made the fcliowing state?
ment:
"All T have to say is that the case
in which I was counsel for one side is
closed, so far as I am concerned. I have
given mv clients the bsst counsel and the
best professional service in my power.
I must say the same of my partner, Mr.
Coieman.
"Of course, T advised witli every powcr
I had that thc controversy bo closed
with the decision of the committee. As a
lawver I could no nothing else. For this
surelv no unionist can blame me. Per
sonal'lv. I bclieve that the union up to
last night won practically every material
point in tho controversy. They coiuci
not expect, it seems to me, to win every
point. .
"This is my individual opinion, how?
ever, ancl any unionist, of course, has a

utter refusal to work alongside non-un?
