TAcks BOYS TONGUE TO CHAIR.
Assistant Matron in Ohio Home Ad-
noits Great Brutality.

Canal Dover, O., Feb. 19.-In order
to secure a confession of the theft OF
a pencil from Sampson Fowler. { years
old, Assistant Matron Clara Sterling
of the County Children's home con-
fessed to having driven tack thru the
end of the boys tongue.
The case was reported to Humane
Officer jackson by r. w. Chapman, an
employe at the home, and the former
caused the arrest of the woman on a
charge of cruelty.
She was taken before Mayor Defen-
bacher of New Philadelphia, and after
confessing was punished with light
fine. The matter has been brought
to the attention Of the board of direc-
tors of the institution and the girl
probably will be dismissed.
In her confession, Miss Sterling, who
is only "a years old. declared the child
had stolen a pencil and refused to ad-
morse for the act. The woman, an
gered by his stubbornness, forced the
boy to place his tongue on the back
of a chair and then, with the aid Of
a hammer, She drove the tack COM
pletely thru his tongue and into the
wood on the chair.
This brutality, she admitted, was
committed on Saturday, and was kept
secret until today, when it was noticed
by other attendants at the house that
the boy could not eat becau . Of the
condition of his tongue.
With the disclosure of this mistreat-
ment of the patients at the institution
the board of directors decided to make
a thorough investigation of the other
charges which have been made from
time to time against the teachers and
nurses, it being claimed that others of
tha children We're beaten horribly by
the instructors in their efforts at main
tanning discipline.

MAY GET CALDWELL OUT.
British Authorities Not Satisfied With
Disposition of Perjury Case.

London, Feb. 19. - The report that
Robert Caldwell, the American who
gained considerable notoriety as wit
ness during the recent hearing In
London of the Druce case, had been
committed TO an asylum in New
York came as surprise to everyone
who was brought into contact with
him during the famous trial in which
he was one of the central figures.
Because of his testimony the British
government is endeavoring to have
Caldwell extraa1ited to answer to the
charge of perjury, and it is understood
that a representative of the British
home office will make an extended in
vestigation of the alleged commitment
in New York.
If this agent is satisfied of the gen
uineness of Caldwelfs insanity. the
extradition proceedings against him
will be stopped; otherwise steps will
be taken to have the ruling of the
court set aside.

JAPAN FACES CRISIS
Much Opposition to Governments Ac-

Toxic. Feb 19.-The memorandum Of
the japanese government in reply to
that of the United States on the sub
ject of emigration, was handed to Am
bassador O'Brien today. 1t is under
stood it agrees in general terms with
number of suggestions made by the
American government and requires
further restriction of emigration by the
practical prohibition Of laborers.
Every evidence goes to prove that
the Japanese government has been I'M
sparing in its efforts to avoid further
complications rising from the emigra-
ton companies, who are behind the
proposed resolution in the diet to CEN
sure the foreign policy of Viscount
Hayashi, minister of foreign affairs. to-
ward China, America and Canada.
Should the resolution be introduced in
the diet. it will probably be defeated
by narrow margins. Its passage would
certainly entail the resignation of the
cabinet.

man to account for or pay over the
money o. the university coming into
his hands.
AS treasurer, 1t was the duty Of

ceptance, with the security offered by
Waggaman. constituted an accounting
and relieved the surety liability 1t is
