Jones said that War Department cor

of the Federal Government to assist

encourage, by the formation of such
organizations as the rifle associations,
the general practice in the use of arms

Three distinguished japanese arrived
represents the nobility of the island
empire, another her financial strength
and the third the naval arm that Rus
sia is finding so strong and active. At
this time of Japans great trial of her
carefully nursed strength considerable
interest attaches to this trio, represent
ing as it does the fiber of which new
Japan is made.
Baron K Kaneko, K. Takahashi and
Captain NJ. Asaoka are the names of
these passing visitors.
Baron Kaneko is a graduate of Har
ward University, which seat of learning
conferred upon him the degree of LID.
He is president of the American and
Japanese Friendly Society, an organiza-
ton whose mission is the promotion of
good feeling between the two nations.
Making friends for Japan in the United
States is said to be chiefly the object Of
the Barons visit although yesterday
he was too tired, he said, to do any
missionary work. He is a life member
of the House of Peers and a former
member OI lnS OdQAllCl- III AN
held the portfolio of Agriculture and
Commerce. He is on his way to st.
Louis, he said yesterday, to confer with
the Japanese commissioners to the ex-
position.
High in the councils of his native
land and acquainted with the plans of
the Japanese campaign, the Baron will
not discuss the. war beyond expressing
the conviction that Japan in the pres
ent conflict will justify her claim to
recognition as a world power.
Banker Takahashi says that the
whipping of the bear will be easy. So
confident did japan feel he said, that
she had placed no restriction upon the
emigration of her young men, and you
see," he said, pointing to the crowd of
coolies on the Siberia's forward deck,
''the stream is still flowing toward
America. We have all the men We
need, and If we want more we have
them in Japan When they are gone
those you see on this ship and most Of
those now settled in the United States
will answer the Emperor's call"
The banker is very anxious that
American feeling should be friendly to-
ward Japan. He was here five years
ago and has manv friends in New
York. AS next to the head official Of
Japan's greatest banking institution,
Takahashi is an important man in the
financial world. He is making tour

bank. duty he performs every five
years.

ENDS STRUGGLE
BY SUICIDE
Heroic Fight Against Ill
Luck Waged by Joseph R.
Michaels Closes in Death

distressing story of misfortune is
that of the last days of Joseph r.
Michaels, the electrician who commit
ted suicide on Thursday morning by
inhaling gas at the lodging house at
121 Powell street. A master Of a we'll
paid trade, he had been thrown out of
work by sickness and later refused en-
ployment because his shattered frame
promised but slight ability to earn
days pay. For five months he had
tramped the streets in search of occu-
patton. In that time he had obtained
employment for less than four weeks
and at the most miserable wages.
Michaels came to California four
years ago from Altoona, Pa. He had
been earning as high as 500 a week
| in his vocation, but his health failing
he sought a milder climate. For a
time he prospered, finding employment,
| first as electrician and engineer at the
| Waldeck Sanatorium, then with the
San Francisco Fixture Company at 1861
/ Mission street and later as manager
of the Pacific Grove branch of A. r.
| Haskins Kearny- y-street establishment
| Haskins failed in November last, and
| just then Michaels became i'll. When
| at last able to- get outdoors he was
but a shadow of his former self. and
| the employers to whom he applied for
work laughed at him. He eagerly
sought any employment. For two
weeks he was at waiter at the Meredith
Hotel on Turk street, and later did odd
jobs at a lodging-house on Sutter
street Even these temporary make
shifts failed him at last.
| Michaels had two invalid woman rel
atives dependent Upon his earnings
One is Mrs. Hattie M. Golden, his aunt,
formerly head cook at the Meredith
Hotel and later housekeeper at the
Berkshire Hotel, but now confined to
| her bed by illness. The other is Mrs
Alice Wright, the widowed daughter
of Mrs. Golden. During the last weeks
of his life his greatesr anxiety was to
earn enough to provide food and lodg-
ing for these helpless women At last
they were compelled to leave their
rooms on Turk street and take a
single small room at 61O O'Farrell
street. Here the three destitute rela-
tives made shift to exc out a miser-
able existence during the last ten days,

able to raise by pawning some trinkets
given him by his mother in his better
days.
Wednesday evening he came home
and told his aunt that he was at the
end of his rope. He was worn out,
he said, and the only thing left him
was death.
Il am so weary" the disheartened
man exclaimed again and again. He
fell on his knees by his aunt's bedside
and, taking her hand, begged her to
pray for him. God will not Judge me
harshly after the fight 1 have made" !"
He then took off his watch and eye
glasses. articles of so little intrinsic
value that he had not been able to
pawn them, and giving them to the
sick woman rushed out of the room.

should. not add to her troubles the grief
of his self-murder. A few minutes later
he borrowed so cents from E. C.. Hare
