Detective Testifies That Message
Bead: "I Am Sorry; Worst lias
Happened; Seton Is Dead."
LONDON, Jan. 24. A Coroner's Jury
today brought in a verdict of willful
murder against Lieutenant-Colonel
Norman Cecil Rutherford, of the Med
ical Corps of the British army, in con
nection with the death of Major Miles
Charles Seton, who was shot and killed
January 13.
A detective testified that after the
arrest of Colonel Rutherford the latter
wrote a note to his wife, saying:
"I am sorry. The worst possible has
happened. Seton is dead."
Mrs. Rutherford's maid testified that
during the absence of Colonel Ruther
ford in France, Major Seton several
times visited the Rutherford house and
remained there for week-ends.
On the day of the shooting, the
maid declared, there was some trouble
between Colonel Rutherford and his
wife, after which Rutherford left the
house, telling the maid not to place
his revolver in his traveling bag.
The Coroner read extracts from let
ters written by Mrs. Rutherford to her
husband, stating that she wanted him
to gain his freedom and would not
place any obstacle in the way of a
divorce.
Major Seton was killed at the resi
dence of his cousin, M. C. Seton, secre
tary of the judicial department of the
Indian Office. The shooting caused a
sensation in British military circles.
Major Seton formerly was in the
British army medical service.
Colonel Rutherford, at the time of
the shooting, was commissioner of
medical service in the ministry of the
national service. He received the dis
tinguished service order in 1917 while
serving with the British forces in
France.
Mrs. Rutherford is Alice Maud Mary,
a daughter of James Roberts. The
Rutherfords have six children.

self-styled "Emperor of Sahara," who

a grand jury had failed to indict her.

BERLIN. Jan. 24. (Special.) "If the
new volunteer army now being organ
ized to meet the Russian Soviet army Is
to be successful in checking the ad
vance of Bolshevism.'' said Colonel
Reinhardt, Minister of War. today,
"something must first be done about
the German-Pole controversy in East
Prussia.
"As it is, the Poles are occupying
German military bases and lines of
communication. For example. Posen is
our normal base for operations, but a
Polish General commands there. The
Russian red army is something to be
reckoned with now, as it is well organ
ized under old Russian general staff
officers and is thoroughly disciplined.
Against it we shall lead a good army
of 100,000 men if the Bolshevist .forces
now about Riga continue their pro
claimed determination to advance
against Germany.
Kntenie Aid Desirable.
"We shall defeat them If they touch
Germai soil, but it would be much
easier if the Poles had not disrupted
the frontier. I presume the entente
wishes to see the German democratic
army check the Bolshevik forces. The
entente could help if it would Induce
the Poles not to try to regulate the
East Prussian question by arms.
"We arc being drawn into war with
Poland also. Three questions for war
have already occurred. First, the par
ticipation of the 31st Infantry Regiment
in the battle of Hohenzenalla; second,
the capture of German guards in West
Prussia, at Cletschin, by the Poles;
third, the entry of General Dowber
Musnick, with Polish officers, at Po
sen." Militarism Still Vlsloned.
By the manner with which Colonel
Reinhardt presented these three points
it was obvious that he regarded them
as a serious casus belli. As he con
sented to be interviewed only after
Foreign Minister Rantzeu agreed, I
realize now why he hesitated. At first
I thought he could not talk to me until
the civil authorities permitted, for Ger
many still sees the shadow of the for
mer militarism and the civil govern
ment holds the military family within
bounds.
But the Colonel's reason evidently
was more Immediate, for he sees pos
sibilities of a new eastern front with
the Germans fighting the Russian Bol-

Proprietress or the Jefferson Apart

With an empty revolver, Mrs. Etta
Farrow, proprietress of the Jefferson
apartments. 305 Jefferson street, held
a burglar captive yesterday until Pa
trolman Fones arrived and took charge
of him. The prisoner Is the second
man she has arrested on a charge of
robbing the apartments, of which she
has charge, the first being James Fitz
gerald, whom she caught last July
under similar circumstances.
The prisoner gave his name as E. L.
Motley. Mrs. Farrow says she saw him
walking up the stairway and thought
his appearance suspicious.
She determined to watch him. and.
stepping into a closet, she waited until
she heard him knock on the door of
apartment .No. 11. occupied by Mrs.
C. Hill and her daughter. Miss Iris Hill.
The landlady knew the Hills were ab
sent, and when she heard a key rasp
in the lock a few minutes later she ran
to her own apartment and obtained
her revolver.
Man Seen at Work.
Hastening to the room of Mrs. C. W.
Seymour, she discovered Miss Iris Hill
visiting there, and informed her that
the Hill apartment was being robbed.
Miss Hill told Deputy District At

through a keyhole into her own bed
room and saw the man .ransacking bu-
I reau drawers and boxes.

Mrs. Farrow posted herself In the cor

apartment, on the path which the sup
posed burglar must pass to leave the
house. They heard him come from the
room, knock on a door across the hall,
but they stood silent until' the man
came around the corner.
Then Mrs. Farrow covered him with
the empty revolver.
"Throw up your hands!" she ordered.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Mrs. Far
row says the man implored.
"Keep 'em up. keep "em up!" she re
plied grimly, motioning with the re

The intruder flinched. Patrolman
Fones says the man confided to him
that he was vastly relieved when the

Speculation Rife at Paris as to Man
ner In Which Sinn Eeln Will
Present Their Claims.
BT JAMES M. Tl'OHT.
(Copyright, by the New York World.
Published by Arrangement.)
PARIS, Jan. 24. (Special, by Wire
less.) The demand for a separate rep
resentation of the British dominions on
the league of nations Is being strongly
pressed by them, and New Zealand is
urging the further claim for another
delegate at the peace conference, twoj
having been sent, but only one ad
mitted. This claim for representation on the
league of nations raise'd anew the ques
tion of the French colonial representa
tion on that body and at the peace con
ference, but whereas the British gov
ernment is understood not to be un
favorable in principle to the claim of
her dominions, the French government
is not really anxious for representa
tion of its colonies, although some
papers are making a grievance out of
their exclusion. .
There is much speculation here over
the report that the Sinn Felners In
tend to demand permission for a dele
gation from Ireland to come to Paris
to lay their claim before the confer
ence, but, as has already been pointed
out in these dispatches, they can only
get passports upon admitting their
British citizenship, which citisenship
they deny. The French government in
any case would not admit them unless
they had passports approved by the
British authorities. Even if they
reached Paris their welcome is un
likely to be warm from any quarter.
However, under rule 11 of the con
ference, the secretariat of the confer
ence will receive "petitions. memo
randa, observations or documents for
warded by any person other than pleni
potentiaries, and such of these com
munications as are of political interest
will be briefly summarized In a list to
be distributed to all plenipotentiaries."
So the Sinn Feiners can avail them
selves of this rule If they choose. Their
pro-German taint would probably make
it dangerous for them to come to Paris
in person.

Just before the rollcall Senator
Borah asserted that not more than five
per cent of the Senators actually fav
ored the bill and that while feeling
constrained to support. they would
apologize for their votes later. Sena

ment to the Paris conference, which he
critlclsd for alleged secrecy, deelarincr
that its "daily communiques mean ab
solutely nothing."
"There is not the slightest informa

Borah. "There is not a particle of in
formation or evidence given that the
world may be informed."
Plrdarr Declared Violated.
This attitude of the peace conferees,
the Senator said, was in open violation
of President Wilson's pledge.
The peace conference was also criti
cised by Senator Myers, of Montana,
Democrat, and Senator Sherman for
what they said was recognition of the
Bolshevik government in Russia.
Senator La Follette. of Wisconsin.
Republican, denied that the bill was
either a peace or war measure.
Referring to reports of American sol
