SUPPORTS UNWR|TTEN LAW
WITH VERDICT OF ACQU|TAL.
StrOthers Brothers Justified in Their Act
Protected Their Home.

/ was wild scramble over benches
and chairs by men who wished to
shake hands with the acquitted
men, Mrs. James Strother fell
weeping into the lap of her hus-
band, and James also cried. Judge
Harrison raped for order and adj
dressed the jury, several members
of whom were weeping.
The Judges voice shook and
tears coursed down his cheeks.
After complimentlng the jury on
the attention they had given the
evidence and their arrival at a
verdict after reasonable time,
Judge Harrison said:
"Gentlemen, / am glad TO hear
you say that the chastity of our
women is to be protracted, and
that no punishment shall be meted
to those who deal with man who
invades the home. i have no CEN
sure for your verdict. Go to your
homes, and l hope you will find
them as you left them
Attorneys Moore and Lee, for
the defense, were the first to shake
the defendants hands.
James and Philip Strother made
the following joint statement:
"It is just what we expected.
We knew that we had not done
wrong, but had to wait long time
to know that the jury would be-
lieve it,"
Commemorative Attorney Wood
said: "We are perfectly satisfied
with the finding of the jury. We
did our best to present the Com
mOnwealth's side of the case, and
feel that our whole duty has been
DONE"

The average district school

room is cannon or burnside coal
stove, whose pipe runs straight up
into the base of a brick chimney,
which is built up from cleats or a
plank which rests upon the joists.
More than half of all district
school house fires result from such
chimneys. The wood in the bot
tom of the chimney is protected
from fire only by some mortar be-

much better than wood, but a

Culpeper, Va, March THE
"unwritten law and emotional
insanity, upon which pleas Harry
Thaw expects acquittal, saved
Philip and James Strothers from
death for the killing of William
Bywaters, whom they slew when
he attempted to desert their sister,
whom he had been forced to marry
after he betrayed her.
After being out but few mo-
ments the jury to-day returned a
verdict of "not guilty" There
WIS a demonstration for the broth
ers, public sympathy having been
with them all the time.
The marked similarity between
this case and that of Harry Thaw,
and the fact that identically the
same pleas were entered, caused
wide interest in the trial, and
there are many who believe this
verdict forecasts the verdict in
the Thaw case.
Bvwaters had ruined sister of
the Strothers. They forced him
to marry her. Bywaters attempt
ed to leave the girl an hour after
her marriage. The brothers killed
him.
Their plea was the "unwritten
law with just enough Of emo
tlonal insanity to give a legal
ground for the acquittal. The
jury deliberated but few mo-
ments.
Judge Harrison had ordered the
crowd to receive the verdict with

and shouting when the foreman

| HAVE CHOSEN
YOU MY FATHER
Bryan a Victim Of a Japa-
nese Custom.

The Bryan household of late
years-since the elder daughter,
Ruth, was married-has consisted
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, the son,
William j. Jr., daughter, Grace,
and an adopted son from the
fowery empire of the Mikado.
The last figure bears eloquent tes-
timony not merely to Mr.. Bryan's
cosmopolitan fame, but to his
good philosophy. 1t ap-
pears that in Japan an aspiring
youth can adopt some man of emf
nence as his father, and immemor-
ial custom compels the person thus
honored to take and care for the
foundling, at least until he comes
to the age for self-support. In
1896 the fame of the Democratic
candidate penetrated to the cherry
groves of Japan and fired the am
bition of young student.
81 have chosen you to be my
father" he wrote in effect to the
Nebraskan, "and will sail at once
for the United States" :"
The message aroused some natu-
raj trepidation in the household
at Lincoln. Fathers-in-law are
chosen often enough without their
knowledge and consent, but to
have the responsibilities of par
entage suddenly thrust upon one
by an unknown youth of alien race
is at least disconcerting. Appeals
to the Collector of the Port at San
Francisco to avert the yellow peril
were unavailing.
Japs may rush in where Chinese
fear to tread, and to select an
American politician for father
does not seem to come within the
purview of the statute which pro-
hibits laborers under contract
from entering our country. So
one morning MFR. Bryan, answering
in person ring at the door-as is
the simple custom of the family,
was confronted by trim Japanese
boy, who remarked, with simple
directness:
81 have come"
The statement was incontrovert-
ible; the situation delicate. To
repulse homeless alien, to cast
off the fatherless and oppressed
seemed impossible So the lad
was made welcome and has since
been literally one of the family,
even adopting its name. He has
received the same education that
Mr.. Bryan's own son has had, and
will return to Japan, not only
equipped with all that our civiliza-
tion can give, but bearing also the
story of the broad human sym
pathies of an eminent American
household. With the pleasing in
ternational name of Yamachito Y.
Bryan, he has lately been travel
ing over the United States as pri-
vate secretary to member of the
Japanese Parliament, who is here
studying American industries -

CAUSES OF YEARS FIRES.
Careless Dropping Of Matches and

New York.-A yearly chart has just
been completed covering G,357 fires In
Manhattan and the Bronx and calling
attention to some interesting facts. II
Is estimated that fires started by
carelessly dropping matches and Gig
arettes cause New York city loss OF
about $2.500,000 each year. The city
has an average of 23 fires every day.
and fire losses in IL months from all
causes aggregate something like $I0,.

9S9 Of them happened on Tuesdays.
Tuesday is ironing day. The chart
shows that the busiest hour of the day
for the fire department Is between six
and seven o'clock In the evening.
1t is shown that the hours between
six and 12 o'clock at night are most
fruitful of fires. The chart gives 1856
to that period, while the early morn.
