SOUGHT AID FROM THE GODS
Japanese Villagers United In curslng
Robber to Death.

This bit OF local color Is from the
Japan Times: "At Shin6kubo. q small
village in Soshu, consisting Of only
70 houses, several cases of robbery
have lately occurred to the great
alarm Of the villagers. A diligent
search instituted by them for the Of
fender proved an utter failure. The
community consequently held a mass
meeting and unanimously agreed upon
cursing the robber to death. A vir-
tuous priest of the locality was &C
cordingly applied to for the purpose.
He, however, declined to curse the
robber to death, an act too cruel for
a holy man like him to resort to, but
promised that he would paralyze the
robber by his powerful prayers, so as
to disable him and lead him to repent
ance. Thus the priest commenced his
incantations. But. behold, the robber
continued his subtle operations to the
Indignation OF the entire community.
The priest has been condemned as q
worthless fellow, and the villagers
have taken upon themselves the task
of repairing every day to the village
temple by <twos and threes to offer
horrible prayers by which the robber
is doomed to an early and fearful
| DEATH"

casions where opportunity presented
itself In order to force the Republicans
to action on measures deemed neces-
sary of enactment, was announced by
Mr. Williams of Mississippi Ia the
House. today during the consideration
Of the agricultural bill. Mr.. Williams
declared that up to now the Republi-
cans have had smooth sailing. He
did not want the country to think that
the minority was trying to assume re-
sponsibility for legislation, He did
not desire to appear as trying to Co
cree the majority until the Republi
cans had absolutely demonstrated be-
fore the country that they did not in
tend to do anything at this session"
He had, he said waited for the Re-
publicans to do something. Il have
finally come to the conclusion that the
Republican party has forgotten to do
anything. II has become a party Of
negotiation and passivity. and. as far
as can see. has no idea of doing any
thing. 1t is plain now that without
some method of parliamentary coer-
cion you are going to be deaf TO every
demand Of the country"
Mr.. Williams announced that from
this moment on for the balance of the
session this is not lie-easy, walton
the.enemy campaign. but coercion is
going to be exercised. No request for
unanimous consent on the part of the
Republicans" he said, would be grant
ed, unless it be to adjourn or take a
recess, until the majority shows that
it is alive to the demands of the coun-
try" sufficient to report for consider
alton in the House such measures as
an employers liability bill, some bill
for the publicity of campaign con.
tributions, free wood pulp and free
print paper bill. and bill against ex
parte injunctions acting as super
sedas of law passed by sovereign

Gold In the North.

Perhaps the most northerly gold
fields In the world are those In Lap
land, where the River Ivalo seems TO
be the center of an auriferous region,
where gold dredging operations have
been carried on for some time. Dig
gings to the depth Of 300 feet have
been completed with view Of finding
out the real course OF the ore. The
gold discovered last year by COM
pany, founded In the United States,
amounted to only four pounds, valued
at $500. This was found along a part
of the lvalo river, and the largest mug
get weighed about 1913 grains. There
are three companies digging gold there
now, the latest being the Ivalo com
pany, organized in the United States.
Within the possessions of this COM
pany lies Kultala, which was built in
1871 by the Finnish government for
washing gold

Stewart as United States senator by
Governor Fletcher d. Proctor to fill
the vacancy in the national senate
caused by the death of Redfleld Proc.
tor. his father, until the legislature
meets in the fall, caused little surprise
here this afternoon. The general be-
lief was expressed by the governors
friends here that he intends to be a
candidate for United States senator
when the next legislature meets.
There has been growing sentiment
among politicians of the state that ex-
Governor Carroll s. Page would have
the strongest following Of any candi.
date who thus far has openly announc.
ed himself as candidate for United
States senator. That there will be an
interesting contest between Mr.. Page
and Congressman d. ]. Foster for the
office when the legislature meets Is
now generally believed. In the last
year or more Congressman Foster has
gained In strength on the east side,
while the Page sentiment extends to
many points throughout the state. The
fact that Mr.. Foster will be candi.

trict will place him In singular pos
ition-that Of running for two offices

Other names which have been men
toned for United States senator are
those Of Ex-Governor Edward c. Smith
of st. Adams and 0. NJ. Barber Of Ben

GOOD CHANCE FOR INVENTORS.
Fortune Waiting for Man Who Can
Perfect the Umbrella.

How rich I'd be-" said one UNI
brella salesman to another, III had
patented the umbrella" you might
as we'll talk of a patent on cooking"
said his friend. Umbrellas appear
to have existed always. Indeed, wher-
ever excavations have been made-at
Babylon, Nineveh. Nippur-traces OF
the umbrella have been found. The
article is coeval with mankind. The
English didn't begin to use 1t until
100. Shakespeare with all his genius
had no umbrella to protect him from
the rain. What you might do would
be to patent some new sort Of UNI
brella--some rain shield built on bet
ter lines. We have proof that the
umbrella has existed for 10000 years
and yet in all that time 1t has not
once been improved. To-day, as 1t
did two or three hundred years ago,
1t turns inside out with strong gust
of wind and it only protects the head
and shoulders from the rain. Change

TRIED TO ROB STATION
w. A. Rice, of West Rutland, Attack
ed by Man Out ON Parole.

Rutland, March 24.-W. A. Rice, of
West Rutland, was arrested there last
evening by Deputy Sheriff p II. Pat
ten and constable Ralph Crawford
after Rice had knocked down station
agent Joseph Leamy and had at.
tempted to rob the station. Leamy,
who is over 20 years old. was out
to supper when he heard Rice was
hanging about the station. He had
broken into the room and was rifling
the cash drawer. Rice hid in under
a seat but Leamy pulled him out
when Rice struck the station agent
and escaped but was afterward cap
tured.
Last July Rice was convicted on
the charge of burglarizing the sta
ton and for forgery and was SEN
fenced to term in the house of cor
rection, Rutland, of not less than six
months or more than four years, but
last December was released on pa
role. Owing to the states attorney
having other business demanding his
immediate attention no hearing will
be held in the case for several days.

MILLIONAIRE BABY BORN
Child at Birth Becomes Heir to Three
Millions.

Chicago, March 24.-An event of
great Importance to the family of the
late Otto Young occurred last Sunday
night, in the birth of boy to Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel X. Martin. The boy is
the ninth grandchild to share the mil
lions left by the merchant. Until the
birth of this, their first child, the Mar
tins, under the terms of the will, had
no claim on the fortune beyond Mrs
Martins life interest in its income.
Now they have an heir whose pros
poets are worth at least $3,000000. It
is the first Young grandchild to be
born into its own rights since the
death of MIR. Young.
The Importance Of the event to the
four branches of the family arises
from the peculiar provisions of Mr..
Young's will. In his testament, Mr..
Young directed that his widow and
four daughters be given practically the
entire income from his estate, but the
principal itself, amounting at the time
of his death to $4,000, 900, he left to be
divided equally among his grandchil
dren. The family with the most chill
dren thereby will receive the most
money, and the one with none living
at the time of the distribution will not
share.
