p HORRIBLE SUICIDE.
The Victim a Japanese
Waiter at Seattle.
A GENUINE CASE OF HARI-KARI
He Had Been Morose for Long
Time, but No Other Cause
Known.

SEATTLE, Wash, June is.--What is
undoubtedly case of suicide occurred
this forenoon in tho Virginia restaurant
ON Main street, between Fifth and Sixth.
Tho details OF the case are horrible in
the extreme. The victim Is Jap named
kahashi, dishwasher In the restaurant
lilo had boon employed In the restaurant
about two weeks. previous To which
timo he work in a sawmlll at Port
Blakoly. This morning Kahashi at
tended to his work as usual,
washing potatoes and cleaning them
for dinner. He then won't down into
the basement of tho restaurant. where
the help sleep. This was at about 10
o'clock. In little back room there are
two double beds and cot. One OF the
double beds was occupied by the night
watchman, who was asleep. Nothing
more was heard of Kahaski for about
half an hour when shrieks and groans
were heard by the walters and cooks In
the restaurant above. Henry kukuno,
tho proprietor of the restaurant, rushed
down stnirs, whore q horrible spectacle
was presented to view. kahashi was
lying on the cot, while blood was spurt-
ing nearly 10 the ceiling from a wound
at his throat. Kahashis abdomen was
barred, and q cash had been cut across 1t,
exposing the intestines 20 view. A
white-handled razor lay on the bed near
the victim.
Medical aid was summoned and the
police notified of the occurrence, but be-
fore assistance could arrive the man was
dead.
II was regular case of hnri-kari. 1t
was thought at tirst by the police that II
might be case of murder instead OF
suicide, but ON investigation il was
proved almost conclusively that such
was not the case. There was no eyi-
dence OF struggle in tho room, al
though tho bed clothes on all the beds
were In disorder. Coupled with this,
the clothing covering the abdomen had
been removed before the wound was
inflicted. Had IL been case OF murder
this would probably not have been done.
Blood was found on the ceiling of the
room fully ten feet from the place where
the body lay.
Rahashl was % years old. He had
been In this country number Of years.
He Was learning the English language,
several primers being found in his va
lise. A Jap who claims to have known
him for the past two years said that
lately he had been morose and gloomy,
and that he had feared for some time
that something was the matter with his
head, Other than this no motive has
been assigned for horrible deed.

THE MEDICAL BOARD.
A Complete Victory for the
Homeopathists.
THEY FORMED A COMBINATION
The Eclecucs and Physo-Medios
Voted With Them Against
the Allopaths.

OLYMPIA. Wash, June is.-The state
medical examining board has finished
its labors, and will meet again for the
examination Of applicants for licenses
tolpractice the first Tuesday in July ut
Walla walla.
Although the proceedings of the board
were conducted In harmony, the hearts
Of the regulars burned with feelings
OF disgust while the 'irregulars'
glowed with satisfaction. Much to tho
surprise of the governor, and every.
thing he has tried to avoid by placing
representatives of the four different
schools on the board, there was n com
bine of tho eclectic and physo-
medic members with tho three
homeopaths, placing tho III
regulars in power. They made
representative Of one Of their schools
president, and utterly ignored the "rcgu-
lars" The whole scheme was cut and
dried before the board met, and the
opening of the session was delayed SO as
TO perfect the plans.
DIR. Calhoun, regular" nominated
DR.. Ostrander for president which
office, as the Oldest practitioner in the
state, was an honor thought to be due
him, bus the ircgulars" as prear-
ranged, nominated Dr. Munson, OF
Tacoma, and elected hun. DIR. Keyler,
regular" OF Walla Walla, WIS elected
secretary, nnd Dr. Menkler, in return
for his efforts In working the combine,
was given the office OF treasurer.
one of the homeopaths openly ad-
mitted that they had combined with
the physo- msdico and eclectics, and
when taken TO task for 1t claimed that
1t was simply In support of his school.
The "rsgulars' were not at all suspicious
OF such a thing as they did not sup
pose the homeopathic would even rec
ognize the ecleclics and ply so med
icos.
After tho REGULARS" heard of the
combine their first intention was to re
sign as body, but for the sake of the
passage OF bill, decided TO swallow the
bitter pill prepared by the hotueopaths,
excepting DR.. OstTander, who says ne
will hand in his resignation tomorrow
morning.
Drs. Ostrandcr, Munson and Kibbe
were appointed a committee TO prepare
the rules for the examination Of appli-
cants.
The board then adopted the form OF
license now In vogue In Minnesota. The
seal is to be in the form OF a yignette OF
Washington, inscribed with the words,
