BUzzING IN THE Jap COLONY
Strange Brown Man Too free With His Gun
-Giancing Bullet AstOnishes MIR.
NichOis-NO Harm Done

Last Friday about noon a Japanese
with an unspellable name attempted
to shoot up the restaurant managed by
Omura near the railroad station. The
only damage done was a richocheting
ball driving a splinter between the two
fingers on the hand Of Mr.. Nichols.
According to the best accounts,
there has been for two weeks a couple
OF professional gambling Japs cleaning
up the savings Of the local colony, and
they had bagged about 5000 of easy
money. Omura had jumbled some
uncomplimentary Japanese about these
strangers to the effect that they should
be run out Of Iown. This raised their
ire and his restaurant was visited and
rough housed.
In the merry melee the home Jap
was struck on the head; but the in
vading brownies were chased up the
steps. At the top one Of them drew
a revolver and began firing downstairs.
His aim was too high. A bullet struck
the sidewalk. A splinter was driven be-
tween two fingers on the honest right
hand Of Mr. Nichols, who was industri-
ously preparing for four feet of snow bye
nd bye by wheeling wood under cover.
The splinter did no serious damage
and when the warlike Jap was looked
for he was fleeing up the canyon at a
pace to beat Bob Smiths base running.
The combined police force Of Leav-
enworth and the Great Northern rail-
way gave chase, but were unable to
overtake the gun Jap within their
Jurisdiction He was heard from at
Snohomish Saturday morning still run
ming.

building was vacated in l minute and
5 seconds. This is 5 seconds longer
than the record. There was no excite

teachers. If the building can be evac-
uated in2 minutes in case of actual fire
without panic, the lives Of the children
are safe from this danger.

The MODELS SECRET
A sroRy FOR FAT FOLKS.

The Cloak Models Association has
raised their calling TO the status OF a
fine art. The development and reten-
ton Of a perfect figure II made the
study OF their lives. AS result they
receive high salaries and, of course,
live correspondingly well.
But good living and a perfect figure
are seldom contemporaneous In tho
same lady. They are so only when
that lady Is willing to pay for her
good times by most strenuous and
persistent physical effort to keep her
tat down. So the premier models some
OF whom are middle aged, have had to
fight good fight hitherto.
Hitherto is used advisedly. for now
the struggle Is less keen. Instead OF
dieting and exercise being their reli-
ance, the following mixture Is asked
20 do the work of keeping these ladies'
professionally Mt: One-haif ounce Mar
mola. n ounce Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic. and ga ounces of Pepper
mint Water.
This IS taken teaspoonful after
meals and az bedtime. and reports in
dictate "a does not violate the trust put
In IL. Those with a tendency TO fatten
1up, keep their figure stationary by Its
means while many finding themselves
overfat have lost as much as pound
a day by its use.

Mime. Fremstad Gives
Charming Recital,

The recital given by Nine. Olive
Fremsted in the Light Guard armory.
Wednesday evening. was one of the
musical events OF the season. but II
would seem from the small audience
that Detroiters evidently did not ap-
preciate that fact. Those who were
present, however enjoyed TO the full
the diversified program presented by
the artist. Nine. rremsted has not
only good looks and a charming per.
sonality. but she has Q beautiful voice,
which she uses with exceptional style.
Il is not remarkably big voice. but
II is smooth and velyety and particu-
larry pleasing.
The program opened with the Mo-
zart aria. "Ah Crudele." and was fol-
lowed by selections by Schumann,
Schubert, Brahms, Wolff. sung IN Ger
man. and at the close OF the Scandi-
navian group. Nine Fremsted took off
her gloves, sat at the piano and sang
a Swedish folk song. The closing
number, Wagner's "Liebstod," gave
the singer opportunity to display
and she was obliged TO return and re-
spond to an encore.
Musicianly accomplishments were
played by Arthur Rosenstein. who also
played group Of selections, the
Scribine prelude for the left hand.
and two Chopin numbers. The reel.
tai was under the direction OF Devoa
& Murphy.

TO SEE DAYLIGHT
AFTER 50 YEARS
Bill To Be introduced Permitting
Man Convicted of Cruelty
. To Children To Work

CHARLESTOWN. Mass, April l.
After 80 years solitary confinement,
Jesse Pomeroy, the human fiend,"
the worlds most famous prisoner, may
again see the daylight.
Pomeroy was a steel.eyed boy OF II
when the world declared him dead
and locked him behind the doors OF
Charlestown prison. Now he is a man
or So From IL to 80 he has known
nothing but darkness and solitude.
The men who bore witness against
him. the attorney who defended him,
the jurors who called him guilty. the
Judge who sentenced him to death, the
governor who saved him from the
rope-all are dead.
Once u day jailer slips Pomeroy's
food through a slit in the darkened
cell, and peers in TO make sure that
his prisoner hasn't died during the
night.
Once a month the prisoners mother
the only person in the whole world
who thinks him innocent-talks and
weeps with him through the bars for
an hour
Once a year the governor Of Massa-
chusetts and the prison commission
walk through and stare curiously at
their famous prisoner Occasionally
Chaplain Barnes visits him, and talks
to him.
These are the only breaks in Pome-
roy's sunless years. No stored or pic.
tured tale OF loneliness can equal the
horrors OF Pomeroys lifetime in pris-
on.
And now relief may come. 4 bill
will be introduced in the present ses-
sion OF the legislature-it is aimed at
Pomeroy-allowing all prisoners 10
work in the daylight, and with their
fellow prisoners.
This boon Pomeroy has long craved.
Just TO see the daylight. TO see people
and talk with them-it's all he has
ever asked He has refused to work
unless he could work with the other
prisoners.
II Is a fearful record tho courts have
against this hoy who has grown to
past middle age behind the bars. His
case is unparalleled in the whole ugly
history OF crime.
At 13 he was assaulting and multi
sting and torturing boys OF s. He was
put In reformatory. where. after
three years, he was released on parole.
A little while after. by his own con-
fcssion. he assaulted and butchered
little Nellie Curran, and buried her
body in the cellar of her fathers
store.
At II he was found guilty OF muir
dering and butchcring a 5-year-old boy
In Boston. The law. outraged. called
him unfit for freedom or even human
association. His long term in prison
began.
Jesse Pomeroy Is an intellectual
man-even brilliant. He has read ev-
cry one OF the 5000 books In the pris-
on library. and half thousand more
belonging to Chaplain Barnes. Ho
reads in the original the works OF Lat
in. French, German, Spanish, Italian
and Arabic authors. having learned all
those languages I'm prison
