AND LEAPS FROM WINDOW

SAN BERNARDINO, April IS
Thomas Riley of Los Angeles this
morning made a desperate double at
tempt to end his life by fearfully slash
ing his throat with a jackknife and
then throwing himself from the third
floor of the Southern hotel.
Riley registered at the hotel shortly
after midnight, requesting 25-cent
room, for which he paid before retir-
ing. About Z o'clock this morning he
was discovered lying in pool OF blood
on the roof of a building adjoining the
rear of the hotel, where he had thrown
himself after his unsuccessful attempt
to sever his jugular vein.
A letter addressed to him was found
upon his person from John O'Connell
4141s West Pico street, Los Angeles,
stating that he hoped to be able to
secure him employment in the very
near future.
It is supposed that the man has been
out of work for some time, and de-
spairing of securing employment be-
came respondent and attempted to end
his life.
He was taken to the county hos
pital, where he now lies, lingering be-
tween life and death.

To fight is easier than to talk, Is the
opinion of Admiral Ijichi, but that the
Japanese are capable entertainers was
demonstrated yesterday by the recep-
ton accorded the 300 members OF the
civic, legislative and commercial Or
carnations of Southern California.
Admiral Ijichi acted as host and as
sisted by the officers gave the visitors
to the Japanese squadron a cordial re-
ception. Visitors to the ships yester-
day included many Japanese of Los
Angeles to see their countrymen, and
the cadets greeted every distinguished
arrival with three hearty "banzais:
This morning at II o'clock the jap
anese ships will leave San Pedro TOT
San Francisco, where elaborate prep
arations have been made for tneir re-
ception. Admiral Ijichi was warm in
his praise of the courtesies extended to
him and the officers of the ships, ana
took occasion repeatedly to express his
Measure at the reception given in his
honor.
The loving cup presented to the adj
miral by the Los Angeles chamber or
commerce is one of the souvenirs OF
the visit that the admiral prizes. Il

Of NV visit to Los Angeles, and to me
II will always be a symbol of the
friendly relations existing between the
United States and Japan"
Refreshments Served on Ships
Refreshments were served yesterday
to all visitors to the ships, and the
officers endeavored by their sol1c1tude
to return the compliments rendered
them during their visit to Pasadena
and Los Angeles.
Yesterday the second half of the
cadets. numbering more than 700,
boarded cars for Los Angeles to see
the sights of the "big city across the
sea-" A luncheon was served at EAST
lake park, after which the cadets were
taken to the principal points OF interest
in Los Angeles. Members or the jap
anese association acted as escorts.
After visiting the business section OF
Los Angeles the cadets boarded cars
for Long Beach, where they were ac-
corded a reception similar to that
given their comrades Tuesday.
The little brown men were enthu-
siastic in their praise of Los Angeles,
and were impressed with the size OF
the business blocks, and especially
with the display at the chamber or
commerce. That the sons of Nippon
left Los Angeles with feeling OF re-
spect for the United States was best
voiced In the statement of Admiral
Ijichi: "a city of prosperity, the best
city in the world"
Admiral Ijichi visited Los Angeles
29 years ago as a cadet and was
amazed at the rapid growth of what
at that time was struggling hamlet.

TO STOP RAIDS
ON ROOKfRIES
japanese Government Admits
Subjects POach in American
Waters for Seals
Takes Steps to Prevent Abuses
of Industry and Avoid Inter-
national Complications
Withdraws Subsidy Paid Deep
Sea Fishing Boats in Order to
Discourage Practice

IRON the japanese consulate in this
city came the information yester-
day that the japanese government,
realizing that its subjects has COM
mitted serious depredations on the
American seal rookeries. had taken the
first steps toward checking the prac-
tice. The government OF Japan has
heretofore subsidized the vessels en-
gagged in this trade for. the purpose of
encouraging the industry. This sub
sidy has now been withdrawn. The
japanese. who were inclined at first
10 uphold their raiding fishermen, now
admit their crimes.
The sealing industry has been in the
hands OF the Americans. japanese,
Russians and Canadians. The bulk Of
the trade has gone to the japanese be-
cause OF their illegal tactics. Now that
there is promise that the evils will be
corrected, the nericans may again
acquire the bulk of the business.
Japanese Raiders Persistent
The japanese raiders have been so
American waters that the United
states government has been compelled
to maintain a patrol Of revenue cutters
The Russian government has also had
trouble OF this sort with the japanese.
During the present year American
vessels have been compelled repeatedly
10 seize offending japanese sealing
schooners. The most serious clash oc-
CURED at St. Paul island. when the
American guards shot and killed five
japanese and arrested y others. The
raiding Orientals closed in and at
tempted to seize the island after they
had been warned to keep away. In
May Of this year the revenue cutter
Rush seized the Japanese steamer
Kaisen Maru in Redoubt bay.
Even during the month of July just
closed the japanese continued to
offend. The sealing schooner Taxi,
with IS men, was overtaken and cap
tured by the revenue cutter Perry off
the Pribilof islands. A few days
later feet of japanese vessels was
Z loverhauled at Unga island. These
cases come under the Jurisdiction Of
the courts of Alaska. and some of
them are now pending.
Consul Issues Statement
The position taken by the japanese
on the sealing issue is defined in a
statement issued yesterday from the
office Of Consul General Nagai The
statement says:
1T may not be generally known in
this country that the japanese govern
ment has for many years subsidized
vessels engaged in deep ocean fishing,
the purpose being to encourage the de-
velopment of the fishing industry.
From time to time certain adventur-
Gus japanese. taking advantage of this
liberal provision of the law. have ex-
