Little Warriors Critically Examine
Guns and Cutlasses at the Fair.
Five hundred Japanese sailors from
the cruisers Tsokuba and Chitose, now
a part of the jamestown exposition
naval rendezvous, recently invaded the
exposition grounds, says a Norfolk
Va.) special dispatch to the New York
World. Everything that the Japs came
across was closely scrutinized. They
not only looked at, but handled, felt
and smelled things.
They were more interested in the
government exhibits than anything
else, and when. they reached the army
and navy exhibit of guns, swords. cut
lasses. etc. there was a wild scramble
TO get their hands on them regardless
Of Hands off, signs and the admoni-
tons of guards.
The guards were swept off their feet
as the curious little warriors made a
rush for the implements of war. They
made critical examination of the
curve in sword or the mechanism of
the modern rife.

pany erecting it will pay to the Swiss
canton S13. 124 for the concession, an
annual tax OF ST. 1854, and supply $500
horsepower electric energy at cost price
to the canton authorities. The conces-
sionaires also obiigate themselves to
pay $24.125 toward the erection of a

ciple Of making those who use water
pay for the privilege is well establish

has lost the sight of his right eye and
has developed curious trick of turn
ing his face away as if to conceal his
misfortune and rolling his left eye

Haywood Is a Socialist and an ideal

much of his time to it, making it both
recreation and study. His friends say
that although he is deeply concerned In
making the most vigorous fight posi-

lost sight of the fact that the death
penalty in this case would make him q
martyr of organized labor.
