CAN GO To SOUTH AMERICA
Chile and Argentine Will Wei
come Jap immigrants.

Toxic, Feb. 3.-At a sectional meet
ing of representatives Baron Chinda,
vice foreign minister, In reply to a
question on the foreign emigration
policy of the government, pointed out
that South America was a favorable
ground for japanese emigrants and a
legation would be established in Chile
to promote better relations between
both countries on the matter of trade
and emigration.
The government had been making
careful Investigations, which show
that Chile and the Argentine Republic
are favorable to immigration and
wherever. said he, our emigrants are
welcomed, the government will not
prevent them going there.
1t is believed it will not be neces-
sary to conclude any special treaty for
emigration and that existing stipula-
tions are sufficient to protect Japa-
nese subjects.
To another question If 1t would not
be better to send emigrants chiefly to
replied that it was not necessary to
limit their destination. Wherever an
opportunity offered for the promotion
Of japanese interests Japan's energy
would be directed there
At another sectional meeting M.
Oeshi asked Minister of War Terauchi
why Japan should maintain large
military force and continue military
preparations In the presence of as
sured peace like the present. He also
pointed out the fact that the nation
was already feeling the burden en-
tailed thereby.
Minister Terauchi replied that even
in European countries, where there
was not the slightest probability of
war, no nation retrenches in the mat
ter of its national defense. The full
est military equipment was the best
guarantee of peace. Japan's arma-
ment was not directed against any
body, but the nation must always be
prepared against eventualities.

arouse the inmates. Being awakened
by the smoke she tried to arouse the
sleeping roomers. The smoke and
flames, however, now crowded her so
closely that she was compelled to de-
sist and sought escape by the stair
way. At the top of the second floor
landing she stumbled and, falling head.

started out to break the union labor

approval of the sermon delivered in
the Catholic church here Sunday, Jan.

the opinions, Rev. Father Tubman.
A letter from Theodore Roosevelt
tells of his endorsement of the priests
views on race suicide and the asser-
tions that 'celibacy is false to God,
false to country and false to SELF" are
essentially upheld. The president ap-
plauded the sentiment that race sui
eide, "affinities" and ''other outgrowths
of modern marriages and divorces" de-
serve more than condemnation from
the clergy. The priests utterances
created a sensation at the time be-
cause he said he desired no unmarried

Justice Dowiing, in Ordering His Com

New York, Feb. 3.-Acquitted of the
murder of Stanford White on the
ground that he was insane at the
time of the commission of the homi-

inal insane until such time as he can
convince the state lunacy commission
that his being at large will not endan-

back to the Tombs across the bridge

taken to Matteawan.
Both Thaw and his wife, the latter
being the only member of the family
in court when the jury unexpectedly
returned its verdict after a delibera-
tion of twenty-five hours, seemed
pleased and satisfied with the outcome
of the case. Thaw stood and smiling
ly bowed his Acknowledgements to the
Jurors as they filed one by one out of
the box. District Attorney Jerome also
seemed satisfied, as he has contended
ever since the crime was committed
that Thaw was medically, If not le.
gally, insane. Thaw's counsel thanked
the jurors with a hearty handshake
for each one of the twelve Attorney
Littleton also filed an exception to

In announcing his decision to send
Thaw to Matteawan Judge Bowling
said:
The only testimony in this case
upon which a verdict of insanity
could be based was to the effect that
the defendant is suffering from a
manic Oppressive form of mental de-
rangement. This testimony and the
diagnosis of the form of insanity was
based upon prior outbreaks of the de-
fendant as testified to by witnesses
from London, Monte Carlo, Paris and
Albany. 1t also appears from the tes-
tinony, and the court was careful to
inquire as to this, that occurrences of
these attacks are reasonably certain.
There has been no tes timony adduced
here to show that person suffering
from this form of insanity ever can be
