ON THE SIDE OF THE
IDOL W0RSHIPPERS.
Majority of New Workers for Japan
Against Russia.


Against Russia.
New York, Feb. 2O.-Of course, in
New York, everybody is interested in
the war in the Far East. The pure joy
of the Japanese portion of the town
over the Jap victories is a most re-
freshing thing to see, and undoubtedly
the majority of New Workers. are for
Japan in their sentiments.
Whether this will continue to be the
case time alone can tell. 1t has been
pointed out here that this is the first
instance, since modern civilization be-
came a fact, that a war between a So
called civilized nation and a so-called
pagan nation has divided the Christian
nations in sentiment
1t is true that England has been on
the side of the Turk before now, but
the Turk is not an idol worshipping
pagan. He is a Mohammedan, but
he worships one God, and he carries
his aversion to idol worship to greater
extremes than do any of the Christian
churches. The Japanese are a pagan
nation in every sense of the term. The
Jap worships idols, and does not rec
ognize one and only one God. He is
apparently showing the world that
Christianity is not necessary to civil
lization, and he is turning against one
of the Christian nations, which is con-
sdered to be at least partially civilized,
the weapons of the latest civiliza ton.
The door through which these weap-
ons were taken. to him was opened by
the United States more than seventy
years ago. AT first the Japanese were
hostile to improvements and modern
devices, but as soon as they saw what
benefits their adoption would be to
them, they caught them up with an
enthusiasm and a mental grip, the
strength of which is only beginning to
be understood. For decades it was adj
mitted that they were wonderful i'm
itators, and it was not until few
years ago that it was admitted that
the Japanese were more than imita-
tors.
They were really not only adopting
the form of things, but they were as
Stimulating the best of such features of
modern civilization as would be of ad-
vantage to them. The ultimate out
come of this assimilation no man can
tell. 1t may be repeated, however,
that the majority of New Workers

KEEPS AN ARMY OF LAWYERS.
Metropolitan Street Railways Legal
Arm of Defense.


New York. Feb. 20.-Damage suits
against the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company have been piling up so
amazingly in the past few years that
some of the courts are kept busy all
day hearing no other cases. The cal
endars are so full now that suits for
any considerable amount often do not
reach trial until two or three years
after they are brought.
small army of counsel is kept reg
ularly on salary to defend the cases:
and another, almost equally large,
number of big lawyers is called on in
important cases, at corresponding re-
tanners; so it may we'll be said that the
Metropolitan Company has created
profitable industry.
queer light was cast on the num-
Der of accident cases for which the
surface cars are responsible in the
course of examination in a $10
600 damage suit last week.
The lawyer for the plaintiff had been
forced to rest his case without wit
nesses to corroborate the testimony OF
the plaintiff himself. In no class of
cases, by the way, are the vagaries Of
witnesses more curious than in dam
age cases against the railroad: and
witnesses who had pressed their names
on the plaintiff at the time of the acct
dent had experienced changes of mem
DRY after suit was brought.

conductor and the motorman. In
cross-examination, Charles Steckler

RADCLIFFE JURY FAILS
TO AGREE ON VERDICT
After Being Out All Night They Stand
Nine for Acquittal and Three
for Conviction

The jury in the case of Harry Rad
cliffe, charged with murder, after be-
ing out all night, came into Judge
Cooks court yesterday morning and
asked for further instructions. They
again retired and when they returned
later the foreman announced that it
would be impossible to agree upon
verdict. The jury was discharged.
The Jury stood nine for acquittal and
three for conviction. Radcliffe's
young wife was in court and when she
heard that the jury had failed to
agree she burst into tears. There was
a smile on the defendants face as he
left the courtroom manacled to two
other prisoners. The case will be set
for retrial at as early date as pos
sible.
Radcliffe was on trial for shooting
and killing Andrew Riley at Ninth
and Sheridan streets on the morning
of June 26. At the time of his arrest
he claimed that Riley had made an
insulting proposal to his wife and dur
ing the fight that followed he shot
Riley in self-defense. His wife, al
though denying at the time that she
was with her husband that night, cor
roborated on the stand the story he
told and the majority of the jury be-
lieved her. The theory Of the prose-
cution was that Radcliffe had at
tempted to hold up Riley and during
a struggle shot him.
