 : The emperor. seeing that some pre-.
 ferred to undergo these .tortures rather
 than renounce their new faith, in Sep
 tember 1922. as a retaliatory measure
 had a large number of Spanish mis.
 sionaries from Manila. together with
 their Japanese converts. publicly exc.
 cuted at Nagasaki. Twenty-Five were
 burned over slow fire and the re-
 mainder were beheaded. their remains
 being thrown into the sea to prevent
 the foreign Christians following a
 practice then in vogue of preserving
 the corpses as relics
 Some days after this wholesale exe-
 cution. two Franciscan and two
 Dominican friars were also burned
 at Omura. Then followed an i'm. perial edict stating the pains and
 penalties. such as death and civil
 deprivations etc, against all those who
 refused to abandon their new religion.
 Another edict was subsequently is- sued imposing the penalty of death upon anyone who should bring priests to Japan, together with forfeiture of
 the ship and of the merchandise |, carried, and to all denouncers of Japa- nese subjects protesting Christianity the culprit's property and goods weie transferred 10 the informant as re.
 ward.
 Notwithstanding all this. there were friars in the Philippines who wers eager to seek martyrdom. but the Phil ippine traders. fearing the confiscation of their ships and cargo. if they car ried the missionaries into Nippon. sb- solutely refused 10 transport the ciarn- bring ecclesias,s. no matter the pr,cs offered. The Spanish government alsG supported the mariners by strictly pro- hibiting the transportation of monks to Japan. The archbishop of Manila contrary to custom and 10 the rules of the church. joined in the crusade " imposing churcn penalties on thu priests or friars who persisted in se- cretly violating the governments pro- hibitions. so that the missionaries were hampered al home as we'll as abroad. This attitude of the authori- ties. both civil and religious. caus ,d the chiefs of the various monastic or- 1 ders to hold a consultation. As a re- i suit they some time later bought a shin to carry four Dominican. tour l Franciscan and tao Recoieto friars t1 1 the home of the heathen Japanese.
 When the governor general. Alonzo | de Fajardo. heard of the intended nx- petition. he immediately prohibited | it. saying that he would not consent 10 the sending Of any more victims to Japan. whereupon the heads of the dIf- ferent religious organizations called upon him to state that if he persisted in his prohibitions upon his conscience alone would fall the enormous respon- sibility O. having lost souls which they intended to save at the risk of their lives. The supeTtitious goyeT- nor. after some delIberation. therefore withdrew his objections. referring the matter to the archbishop of Manila. <ho at once permitted the ship to eave. but with the ten friars dis yuised as merchants.

THINNING FOR OFFICE, :,

TO-night's attraction at Poli's, "Run.
 ming for Office while one of the early
 successes of George Conan. is regard ed by many as one of the best con ceived and well written of all the Cohan successes. It tells in a brisk, lively Cohanesque manner the trials and tribulations of candidate for office in the rural districts. The com plications and the excitement of q country political election have given
 MT Cohan much scope for many anus ing situations, and those who know his powers as an author will readily coll- ceive what an amusing farce he has made Running for Office.' The com pany presenting the play contains the names of many prominent Broadway favorites. accompanied by beauty chorus which has been credited with an ability to sing. dance and act. An acting chorus is something out of the ordinary, yet So much is required of the chorus in Running for Otnce' in this direction that the ordinary posing chorus girl is out of her element with this company, The production was re- hearsed under the personal direction of MT Conan. who has given every lit tie detail connected with the perform ance that careful attention so charac- terstic of all his other successes. Prices are 9. 35, JO. 75 and $1. Tele- phone 116-2.

MRS LEFFINGWELL'S BOOTS"
 It is authoritatively intimated that the entire play of Mrs Leftingwelfs Boots.'' which is to be given at Poli's theater "Wednesday evening. is q farce comedy of marital jealousy. to which the husband, absent or present, fur nishes the keynote. Though this comic Othello does not make his appearance upon the stage until the third act, bis influence is, nevertheless, noted to be dominant from the start. Amusing in- cidents and a good deal of bright dia- logne are said to keep the audience pleased all through the play. The com edy is thought to be the best that An- gustus Thomas has yet given to the stage, and the company is one of the strongest that Charles Frohman has ever cast to a humorous work. The play was one of the chief laugh-makers for New York society for over 150 nights last season. The cast which presents it here is remarkable one and contains such names as William Courtenaye. Vincent Serrano, Grace Heyer, Louis Payne. Frank Rurbeck Jessie Busley. Mrs \. 4. Adams. Dor othy Hammond and Henry Harmon. Prices are 25. 70. 75. S1 and S1.5O Seat sale Tuesday. Telephone 116-2.

ONE HUNDRED SPINNERS
AND WEAvERS ON STRIKE

About one hundred spinners and weav-
ers employed by the Parker Mills in East
Warren struck today To enforce their de-
mand for moref wages
The chief cause OF the difficulty accord
Ing 10 the spinners lies in the fact that
the "flling'' in their machines is exceed
ingly hard to- manipulate, and prevents
them from earning as much with the pres
ent rate OF wages as they believe they
ought TO receive for their work They
have been receiving 90 cents per side, and
make demand for 81 per side So far as
the weavers are concerned. the strike is
largely sympathetic. though a portion Of
them complain that the warp I'm their ma
cvhines make their work too difficult, and
like the spinners, less lucrative than L
shuld. The strikers are not organized.
The Parker mill is a branch OF the mill
by the same name In Fall River where
the head officers are also located. but by
the local officials Of the mill IL was stated
that II was thought that the mill would
be running as usua within few days.

obliged to give up his work on Tuesday
April II.
He became despondent and on the fol-
lowing Thursday night left the house In
rage after his mother had taken him
10 task for drinking.
He went down South street towards the
river. and that was the last seen OF him
alive
Capt. Baxter. who is I'm charge Of Point
street bridge, heard the cries OF some
body who he thought had gone down that
night al about IL o'clock. but looked In
vain for the sight OF person struggling
I'm the water.
This was at about the time that Mckay
was seen going toward the river.
The mother consoled herself for a day
or two with the thought that the young
man might have shipped away as a
cook. but II was hard for her TO believe
this, as he had never left home before
Iie had no money with him and was
dressed I'm HIS old clothes. so that she
had no dread that he had become the
prey of harpies that haunt the river front,
week ago Sunday the mother was
drawn toward the river front by an ir-
resistible impulse.
All hope had deserted her. and she felt
certain that her boy was at the bottom
OF the river.
With her was a neighbor's dog, called
'Spotty," which made the little tenement
OF the McKays in the rear OF 2s5 Rich
mond street his home.
"Spotty" is accustomed 10 the river
front and fits sights so that his sudden
excited dive into the water and refusal
to come to shore filled the woman's heart
with a terrible horror
She had no doubt now that the body OF
her boy wa in the vicinity OF where the
dog was swimming about; and the fact
that the body was found in this part of
the river confirms the theory which rooted
itself in her mind as a truth.
She implored former Harbor Master
Mcguire TO assist her In searching for the
body; and he and his men dragged the
river with graphing irons. but met with
no success.
They had little belief that Mckay had
jumped overheard
Young Mckay was naturally OF cheer
ful disposition, and his mother said that
no one could help Hiking him
She is inclined to think that his fall
from the bicycle may to some extent have
affected his mind
