Depew tells of his experiences with
stealing automobiles from at least a
dozen different places in this city. His
companions, Joe Leinen, j. Powers and
j. Mcfarland, are equally as enthusi-
astic over their escapades, which have
puzzled the police and detectives for
more than two months and inconveni-
enced the owners of the automobiles.
There is no place within the radius
of so miles that these daring boys have
not visited in their borrowed" ma
chimes, They regret that their careers
have suddenly been interfered with, as
they wanted. to pull off a race with
"Scotty" as soon as the latter was able
to get about.
But they need not worry, they think,
as they can be prosecuted only under
an act recently passed by the legisla-
ture making it a misdemeanor to take
anyone's automobile for temporary use.
On three occasions they were obliged
to break into barns to get the ma
chimes. In these instances they may
be tried on charges of burglary.
The quartet was arraigned yesterday
before Judge Austin and instructed to
appear before him on Wednesday
morning for sentence. All of them
pleaded guilty yesterday to the charges
of temporarily using the automobiles.

SHOW INFINITE PATIENCE
Missionary Says Japanese Wives Make
Life a Period of Self
Sacrifice

Poor, patient, long suffering wives
Of Japan, too often they hide a break
ing heart under a smiling face and at
best they know little of the love and
tenderness which the highly favored
American women expect" said Rev. H.
B. Schwartz, returned missionary
from Japan, yesterday at the meeting
Of the Methodist Ministers association
in the First Methodist church.
"Self-sacrifice is the keynote of the
Japanese wives" continued the speaker
"In them truly patience has had her
perfect work. Disciplined from baby
hood to the grave, the Japanese women
are no butterflies, living mere lives of
pleasure such as some people seem to
think. For the most part they are the
very opposite of that-plain, hard
working home bodies with few accom-
plishments, giving themselves for 36J
days of the year to their husbands and
families with the same devotion which
their brothers have shown upon the
battlefelds.
Bad women there are not a few
among the Japanese, for bad men will
make them, but even among them there
are probably as few utterly debased as
may be found in occidental lands
There are lotus flowers, the japanese
say, growing in the mire..
"The commercial class Of the Jap
anese people have been considered In
years past in the lower scale Of social
and business life. But within the past
ten years this has been greatly over
come. AS nation the Japanese COM
pare favorably with any nation in the
world"
The meeting was attended by large
number of clergymen and discussion
followed the address of Mr.. Schwartz
which was highly complimentary.

WHITES CABINET MEETS
Question Of Placing Upper House on
Elective Basis Considered

Elective Basis considered
BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 13.-The
second session of Count Whites cabi-
net was held this afternoon. One of
the matters under consideration was
the project for placing the council of
the empire, the upper house Of the ma
tional assembly, to q certain extent on
an elective basis. which Count Witte
insisted upon before accepting the pre-
miership, and which was one Of the
principal causes of the long delay In
issuing the imperial manifesto of Oc-
tober 80. The project, as elaborated,
provides for the representation of land
owners, orthodox. non -conformist and
nom Christian clergy and bourse COM
mittees. Ten representatives each arc
to be chosen for five years by owners
of over 5000 acres. the orthodox and
the non -conformist clergy and six by
the bourse committees. The number
to be chosen by the nom Christian
clergy has not yet been decided.
Thus about quarter of the MEM
bership of the council of the empire,
which hitherto has been entirely ap-
pointive will be chosen on an elective
basis. The orthodox clergy will be
named by the holy synod.
