WIDOW GETS VERDICT

 FOB @e,25S.33
Federal Court Jury Did Not Heed Contention of Insurance Organ ization That Her Husband
 Had Killed Himself.

A verdict for ss253.ss was yesterday rendefed by the jury in the United States Court in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Eleanor Fitzpatrick against the National Union, a fraternal insurance organiza- ton.
 The case had been on trial nearly four days.
 David Fitzpatrick the husband of the plaintiff met his death in the cloak room of the Commercial and Industrial Asso- ciation from a pistol wound in 1901. Suicide was the popular theory as to the cause of his death, and on this ground the National Union, of which organiza- tion the deceased was member refused to pay to the estate of Mir. Fitzpatrick s5,OOo. the amount for which his life was insured in that organization.
 The family of Mir. Fitzpatrick contend- ed that the pistol was discharged acci- dentaily and filed suit to recover the full amount of the policy and interest from the time the payment was due.
 Judge Thomas c. Jones. charged the jury at 9:30 o'clock yesterday and at noon a verdict for the full amount with in terest amounting to $s.25S. 8 was returned.
 James P. Armstrong was foreman or the jury returning the verdict.
 Mrs. Fitzpatrick was in the court room when the verdict was returned.

withdraw her legation.
The term independent action. natur-
ally included the opening of hostilities.
The fact that Russia was unable:to- un-
-derstand it in that light is of course,
no reason why Japan should be Sre-
sponsible for the misinterpretation
made by Russia. 1t is the almost unan-
imous opinion of international .Jurists
that-a declaration of war is not IAN in
dispensable prerequisite to the opening
of hostilities. Indeed, it has been the
common practice in recent wars to de-
clare war after hostilities have been
begun. Japans action. therefore, is not
open to the least criticism in this re-
gard. From the standpoint OF interna-
tional law it must be understood that
the charges made against her do not
come With good grace from Russia, in
asmuch as there are not only many
historical instances of Russia herself
resorting to histilities without decla-
ration of war, but one case-that of
her invasion of FINLAND in 1SOS-when

VICTORIA. B. c., March 1.-The

arrived tonight from Japan. The most
interesting portion of her news from
the Orient was that. Japan was ship
ping vast numbers of trobps. by night
across to Korea. No troops moved by
day, and no man knew when he WOULD
be called away. officers were missed
from clubs. and the explanation was
that they had been summoned during
the night. shipped aboard the trains

It. is estimated by passengers who
have been observing that Japan had at
least $4,000 troops landed on the Korean
shore before the Empress of India
sailed, and they. were. going over night
ly many thousands at time 1t is un-
derstood that the dispatch of troops is
to continue until 100000 men are at the
disposal of the japanese generals. at

The Empress of India brought 100, 900

Minister Dis
.CuSSeS Causes of
the War.

= NEW YORK. March i.-Under. the
title. why Japan Resists Russia:
Takahira. the Japanese Minister at
Washington, discusses the causes of the
present conflict in the forthcoming
number OF the North American Re-
view
Takahira points out the grounds for
his Governments belief that Russia s
.encroachments in the Far East were a
menace to japan. inasmuch as the alb
sorption of Manchuria meant the in
evitable sequence of, such action-the
absorption of Korea" After explaining
in some detail the events that led UP to
the war he says:
There is no foundation for the belief
that Japan was prompted to war by
ambition or that her. success, if happily
she be successful implies any danger to
other nations. To thoughtful Japanese
there can be no greater cause for won
der than the conjecture. whether. their
country's success may not be the pre-
cursor of "a new alignment of races,
Oriental on the one side. Caucasian on
tEe other. To them it seems no more
than .chimerical dream, a suggestion
Of memories of the age of. Genghis
Khan, impossible Of achievement in
these better days of intimate inter-
course and mutual interdependence
among all nations.
Let me add also that those who en-
deavor to attach some measure Of re-
proach. to Japan by characterizing this
as war between a Christian and a
non-Christian country fail utterly to
appreciate the efforts of my country
men to conform TO the spirit as well as
to the practices of modern civilization.
Freedom of religious belief is as fully
guaranteed in Japan as it is in. any
country in the world, and speak with
no thought of. self -laudation or Of in
vidious comparison when 1 express the
belief that rectitude of thought and
conduct would be- as fully exemplified
by the actions. of my countrymen dur
ing the present struggle as by those Of
their adversaries. Assured of the JUS
tice of our cause. yet not desirous Of
escaping Judgment founded on knowl-
edge, we do feel that we have the right
to expect exemption from narrow mind
ed criticism based on the prejudices of
race or of creed"
