Reform in China Taught by Japan

The influence Of the Japanese over
China is not less important in civil than
it is in military matters An example is
the way in which they have taken ho'd
of the reform Of the Chinese judiciary.
Among the causes OF the deepest hui
initiation to the Chinese Government is
tho extraordinarily which they have
been obliged to concede to the subjects
of foreign Powers in all questions of law,
while Mt the same time compelled to
allow these same foreign subjects all
the rights and privileges of Cinnamon
in the matter OF land owning and COM
merce. At last, impressed by the dis
advantage of the situation, it has boon
decided at Pekn to reform the judiciary
with view to the suppression of the
ex-territorial system and to bringing the
subjects OF all foreign Governments
doniciled ana doing business in China
under the operation of Chinese law.
For some time there was great uncer-
taiutv as 10 the source TO which they
should 20 for the material for a re-
formed judiciary As FIRST there was
a strong inclination to adopt Western
methods and principles but the re-
pugnance Of the Chinese mind to many
OF the cardinal points Of Western law and
practice turned them to Japan. There
they had the example Of a country that
had omancipated itself from foreign
tutelaze and ex-territorlailly, had es-
tablished it's own judiciary, and in the
most convincing manner was exhibiting

Harry Walton, rs q Chinaman, Is Ex-
tremely Clever-Miss Mack Also
Scores.

Despite the heavy fall Of rain all
last evening the little Edison theatre
entertained its large audiences as usu-
al, and the performance justified the
good attendance, for the whole show is
above the average, Harry Walton is
the hit Of the bill, in his Chinese i'm.
personations. His act is entirely diff.
ferent from any ever presented at the
Edison, and for that reason is especial
ly attractive to tho people Of Salem.
Marie Mack has a soprano voice Of
good range and sweet, clear tone, "is
a good locker" as the boys say, and
makes a clever change to an Oriental
costume for the close Of her act. The
Zelles present a rural comedy sketch,
and have their own scenery. Their act
is a quiet, quaint, old-fashionod sketch,
showing the end Of the barn on the
stage, also part Of the back Of the farm
house, making a very realistic setting,
and being something new for the pat
rons OF the Edison. The illustrated
song Is well illustrated, and sweetly
sung by Helen Vance. The motion pic
lures, showing the troubles Of Rob
ison Crusoe, are great, and worth the
price of admission alone. Matinee to-
morrow at 3:15 p. m.

KILLED FOR
REFUSING
TO OBEY
Eagle Kills His Mate Because
She Would not Come
to Him

Angered because she refused to share
his perch with him Joe, a golden eagle
in the menagerie in Central park, the
other day killed Amelia, a cage mate.
He was subdued by keepers and con.
domned to spend the rest of his life
in a cage with vultures which, have
been his enemies for long time, says
the New York Herald.
Secure in his position as the strong,
est bird in the eagle cage, Joe appar-
emily believed he would have little dig.
ficulty in persuading Amelia to roost
on his perch. He paid scarcely any
attention to her until recently, when
he frequently offered her a part of his
food. She accepted the food, but wos
deaf TO the invitation conveyed in his
hoarse screams.
In the course Of Joe's courtship 4
change in the diet Of the eagles was
made. Raw meat had been given to
them and they enjoyed many gifts from
visitors. When fish was added to the
diet. Joe, who although large and pow.
crful, had a large amount Of good ma.
ture, became savage and aggressive.
His admirers noticed his actions and
attributed the change to the new diet.
Meat and fish, they declared, induced
combativeness.
When Amelia was drinking from the
fountain the other day Joe called twice
TO her. She paid no heed, and uttering
loud cries, he swoped down on her from
his perch and attaced her with bill and
claws. She was dead when her com.
panions interfered. Joe turned upon
them and had almost ended the life Of
another eagle when the keepers seized
him.
In his new quarters fear Of the vul-
lures will make Joe a well behaved
bird, his admirers say. The vultures
cage is separated only by wire from
that Of the eagles, and Joe's attempts
when he was in his old home to steal
their food by reaching into their quar-
ters annoyed them. 1t is likely, his
admirers say, they will revenge them
selves on him now that he is in their
power.

OUR ANNUAL
NATIONAL
SLAUGHTER
Statistics Show That Fourth
of July Accidents Are
Appalling

When a theater or a hotel burns to
the ground, burying in its ruins hun
dreds Of human beings, there rises from
every corner Of the civilized world
cry of horror; if the accident befalls
an American city, the emperors and
kings Of Europe send cablegrams Of
coincidence to the President at Wash
iugton, while the public press flames
with indignation and demands ven
geance on those responsible for the
slaughter.
But there is one national calamity, as
regular as the roll Of the seasons, that
brings no royal expressions Of sorrow
from abroad, and causes only fleeting
outcries at home. Once a year the
American republic celebrates it's great.
est holiday with a pagan butchcry.
Amid glare of light and roar Of
powder, the Stars and Stripes receive
as their birthday offering a wall from
the stricken homes Of 1000 dead and
wounded. And when the festival is
past, with only brief pause for regret
over its incidental horrors forgetful
nation begins looking forward to a
CHASTITY repetition Of the orgy at the
end of another twelvemonth.
That the Fourth Of July has devel-
oped into day to be feared as much
as honored is fact realized by the
saner men and women Of the country.
Unfortunately, despite the praiseworthy
annual efforts Of some public officials
and newspapers and the continued en-
deavor Of very few, the people who
do not think are still the rulers.
The statistics Of the holidays acci.
dents are appalling. Though there was
noteworthy decrease in fatalities last
of mutilations, 1873 persons, mostly
children, are known TO have died from
injuries caused by powder and bullets
and fireworks used on the Fourth Of
July, while 1906 others were MANNED.
In the preceding year the deaths num-
bered 466 and injured for the two
years was S6lS.
These figures, which are gathered for
the journal Of the American Medical
association, are the result Of the 6rst
systematic attempt TO determine the
extent of the holidays horrors; but
in spite Of the infinite pains with which
they were collected, they do not tell
the whole story. Scores Of unrecorded
deaths and hundreds Of injuries should
be added to make the list complete
this is admitted by the medical men
who have compiled it. Especially in
the rural districts and small towns
have there been many accidents that
no chronicler was at hand to report
On the whole, however, the figures
give a fair indication Of the situation.
