WOMAN DIES
OF POISONING
A japanese Tragedy Which
Asiatic Doctors Did Not
Report.

Because her husband failed to come
home after having had a domestic quar-
rel with her, Mrs. K. Yamashita. come
iy Japanese woman, living on River
street above Vineyard. committed suicide
by taking ant poison. The poison was
used on Wednesday night at II O'Clock,
but the police and Board of Health au-
thorities were not notified of the cir
cumstances or the death until yesterday
forenoon.
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Yamashita
and her husband, who is an employee of
L. B. Kerr & Co., had a little family tiff
After dinner the husband went out of the
house and did not return that night.
The next day he failed to return to
makeup with his wife. She grieved
over his absence, and at night evidently
determined that she should end her life.
Shortly after 10 o'clock she sent a little
boy about eleven years of age, to a drug
store for ant poison. The boy saw her
about IL O'Clock. Shortly afterwards
nearby tenants of the cottage in which
Mrs Yamashita resided were aroused by
groans. DR.. Kobayashi and another Jap
anese physician We're called in, but could
do little The woman died during the
night. Even then the physicians failed
to notify the police. as they were in
duty bound to do. When the doctors
certificate of death was presented at the
Board of Health office, DR.. Pratt. execu-
tive officer of the Board, saw that it
bore as the cause of death. Poisoning
He at once started a train of inquiries
resulting in finding that the woman evil

tent.
The police were notified and Deputy
Sheriff ChiIhngworth empanelled the fol-
lowing coroner's jury: Ed. Paris, f. Z.
Mossman, Fred Weed, B. Bowers. H. c.
Vida, VIM. Mott. The jury viewed the
body, and will hold the inquest at
O'Clock this afternoon at police head
quarters.
The jury VIII doubtless inquire into the
reasons why the physicians failed to ac-
quaint the health and police departments
with the fact that the woman had afed
of poisoning, which, brings a case of the
kind within the jurisdiction of the in
vestigating powers OF both departments.

The news from the Philippine Islands, that is, the real, genuine bare facts, as they are sent to this country in soldiers letters, must have a dis heartening effect on the men who are at home. A soldiers life used to be one of some pleasure few years ago, but season or two in the Philippines takes a great deal of fighting out of the bravest. Fighting Indians or cow boys was fun compared to trying to fight the Filipinos. Recruiting sta- tions have an easy time these days, and it is no wonder that some of them have topull down their signs and close their doors.

WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. SATURDAY APRIL 6 1901

Smith thinks that public service cor porations would be content with the limitation of their franchises to short terms on two conditions-that they shall have monoply while it lasts, and that, if it is not renewed. the out going corporation shall receive the full value of it's property for continued use. The end to be sought is the security of adequate public service at just rates. The inducement furnished by excessive rates to engage in bribery and corrup- tion should be prevented. But the ob- stacle which public service corpora tions now are to the progress of re- form in municipal government must in some way be removed. The existing conditions are intelerabIe.

For the present, at least, eonsolida- ton has fallen through in New Brit ain. A committee has had the draft ing of bill under consideration for a long time, and at the last meeting of the common council they reported that it would be impossible to frame a proper bill in time to introduce it at this session of the legislature, unless the members worked eight hours each day for the next two weeks. This the members are unable to do, as they can not neglect their own business. After discussion of the question the coun- cil finally decided to indefinitely post pone consolidation.

 The Leader of New Haven has the following to say editorially of Mrs Shepard's visit to that city: Mrs Margaret Shepard is disgracing her self and injuring the cause of religion in this city by her attempt to stir up religious prejudice. New Haven has no use for bigots and no sympathy with those who reyile the religion of other people. Catholic. Hebrews and Protestants of New Haven respect each others religious beliefs. The man or woman who thinks it possible to gain much sympathy here by de nouncing a religion or creed with which he or she is at variance, makes a great mistake.

Municipal government is now, and will be one of the questions which troubles those who have to do with it. How to run city, keep up with the requirements of the times and the people, and still keep the rate of taxa ton where it belongs is very trouble some. and vexatious question. Editor Burritt Smith has an article in the April. Atlantic Magazine, which goes into the subject at length. His con- tention is that probable step in muni- cipal reform is the more efficient con- trol of rich corporations. They have reached such stage of development and a power of mischievous influence in municipal affairs that they must be either efficiently controlled or destroy ed, leaving the public utilities they are organized to promote to be pro yided< and administered by the muni- cipality itself, without intervention of private corporations having interests hostile to the public interest. Com menting on the article the Boston Her aid says: The. battle between thf people and public corporations is to be n long one. The feeling that too mucl
 privilege has been bestowed on publi
 corporations in the past is genera
 especially that no. sufficient power
 regulation has been reserved. Mi

Thursday the spokesman for the striking painters said to a Democrat reporter that some of the men were going out of town. This is a season of the year when there should be plen- ty of work in that line. Hartford painters are advertising for help But will the local men better their condl- ton by going out of town for work. The old saying is a bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush. It is to be hoped for the benefit of all concerned that after a week of strike the bosses and the men may be able to get to- gether and put an end to the strike which is always a setback to any town even though it does make the newspa. pers sell a few extra copies while it is on.

Tn his weekly letter Banker Henry .Clews, says that Wall street has never before witnessed. such clashing of impetuosrs realizing and wholesale buying as has swayed the crowds of spectators during the past week. In spite of the immense sales, some of. the largest advances realized on any day in the boom took effect upon We'd nesday. Stories of new amalgalnations neutralized the effects of the large li- auidations, and Delaware and Hudson advanced 12 points and C., B. and O.. scored rise of 15 points within twen- ty-four hours, while Rock Island rose 12 points. Some of the realizing was done in the way of parting with other stocks to buy those thus advancing. The market is drifting into stage of confusion that has injured many q boom in bygone days. Operators are apt to lose their heads in the isangutne excitement of their operations. There is no possibility of keeping track of the rapid changes in the distribution of stocks, and when men lose their knowl- edge of f.the forces on the field they Hose their confidence; confusion sets in. then the situation ripens into nerv- ousness; mistakes in tactics are made and Che confusion may sprecipi- | tate heavy forced liquidation when ii lis. little expected. We are verging on
 "a position which is associated With a
 high degree of risk; and throughout .the week there has been evidence that
 operators who have made large profits
 are adopting means to secure them
 selves against scramble to sell.
