RENT FREE FOR BIRTHS.
St. Louis Man to build House Especial
Iy for Children.
st. Louis Dispatch to New York


Plans were fled with the bidding de-
partment Wednesday for an apartment
house exclusively for families with
children. The doors of this house.
which Ia to cost 100000. will be shut
against bachelors. old maids. and child
less couples. One child will be badge
of admittance. but the family with a
dozen children will be welcomed with
open arms. 1t Is the first apartment
house of it's kind in the country. and 1t
will rise between two large and fashion
able houses which forbid children.
S. D, Lederer, q real estate broker.
is the originator of the idea, and he
found ready backing FOR the scheme.
He has a whole chain of novelties.
With every girl born In the house he
will present a receipted bill for one
months rent to the parents. Lederer
places twice as high a value on boys.
as every boy born viii mean to the
parents a receipted bill for two months
rent.
THE building will be of eight stories
and there will be fifty four apart
ments Each apartment will have q
specially equipped playroofn. In ad-
dition, there will be a large playroom
In the basement. and in summer the
children will disportthemselves on the
roof A dancing room will be provided
children without charge to the parents
There, also, will be instructors In ply
steal culture. and It 10 proposed to
| establish a kindergarten.
1T am convince dthe apartment house
for children will fill a real want" said
Lederer. at will be the only one OF
it's kind in the country, but I expect "a
see many more like 1T. Why, as soor
as I gave out my plans half a dozen
| millionaires wanted to back the ven.
ture single handed. They saw the pos.
sibilities in It. and they wondered II
hadn't been tried before.
Every applicant will have TO troi
out the youngsters before I rent him
an apartment Children will be tho re-
quirement. One child will do. but the
more the merrier. If a man comes
along with a score OF children. he will

day and was dashed to the ground,
meeting almost instant death at the
feet Of the horrthed spectators.
Corcoran was employed by Professor
Joseph Laroux. of this city, with whom
the municipal authorities contracted
for balloon ascensions and parachute
jumps today. Three parachutes were
attached to the balloon for triple
jump by the aeronaut. II was arrang-
ed that Corcoran should drop with his
parachutes when he heard q certain
number OF revolver shots from Laroux
on the ground, after the balloon had
reached height OF approximately 5000
feet.

before promiscuous firing OF reyolvers

Corcoran heard q second fusilade, It IL
believed he was certain the signal had
come for him to cut loose in the para
chute, for he was seen to drop from
the balloon although he was scarcely
500 feet in the air.
The distance was too short for the
parachute to open properly and the
man dropped like q plummet, striking
the ground about 1.oo0 feet from where
the ascension was made! He was alive
when picked up but unconscious. He
had sustained q fracture of the skull
and other injuries and soon died.

Puniahrnent OF Perjury.

Hartford Courant.
A few weeks ago a New York law
yer who has won fame as a cross ex-
aminer said that perjury on the part
Of witnesses was very common. His
statement did not occasion surprise.
Now comes Justice Anderson. OF the
Supreme Court of the District OF Co
lumbia, who says that he Is satisfied
that perjury is committed in many
criminal cases He says that persons
have been in the habit of going Into
court and swearing to almost anything
that would aid friends and defendants.
At the conclusion of a recent case he
gave this warning: Hereafter II will
count against a defendant found gull
ty, when perjury has been committed
by his Witnesses" Probably the courts
intention to see that lying witnesses
are prosecuted may be assumed. 1t
would be rather absurd to increase the
punishment OF the defendant and let
she nntruthfnl Witnesses escape. {,

Takahira In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, July 5.--Baron Kogoro
Takahira. Japanese ambassador TO tne
United States. took the leading part
In the Fourth Of July, exercises at
historic Independence Hall here TO-DAY
which were the principal features OF
Phiiadeiphia's annual celebration OF
the signing Of the Declaration Of In
dependence.
The baron received . most enthusi-
astic greeting when he was introduced
by Mayor Reyburn.
The ambassador. reviewed the strug-
gle of the patriots in the war for sin-
dependence and referred to the CIVIL
war as "the tombstone to test the
quality of the national character and
strength"
Speaking of the great powers OF the
world and their responsibilities. the
Japanese ambassador said:
"As for Japan, she was not only In
troduced into the COMMITTEES OF ma
lions through the agents Of Ameri-
can diplomacy, but has been always
encouraged by II In various ways. AS
she advanced in her progressive move
ment, as IL its intention were to APP
ply tine principles OF equality the same
TO nations as to individuals, even when
we were .8tlll IN a IeSB nuOueSt POSI-
tion. Thus strongly encouraged by
the friendly action and attitude of the
United States. Japan has been contin-
daily endeavoring to improve herself
In politics and social conditions so az
to make herself worthy Of her position
as q member OF the community Of DIV
liked nations.
1--WE are using every effort in our
power. however limited It may be. to
help our neighboring countries to I'm
prove themselves and to enjoy the BEN
efit Of modern civilization. We shall
therefore be happy to see the United
States act toward them as she acted
toward us.
To-Day, under the American nag un-
furled in the gentle breeze coming
from the summit of Fujivama, all the
representative men Of the government,
as well as the people Of Toxic, through
the American embassy In that city, ex-
press the happy sentiments for your
national birthday. I am only echoing
their sentiment in addressing you thus
