INDIVIDUALITY

9 ah,Farmer Jones: "Therc never
y was
SO contrary steed,
He's getting thinner daily, yet
We give him plenty feed
But he takes little at the trough,
The sayings true, | think,
You can lead a horse to water, INT
You cannot make him drink"
And when one here below, is born
A slave to doubt and fear,
You may tell him God is IN the wind
You cannot make him hear.
You can show him clouds at sunset,
You cannot make him see
The silver lining-it remains
A hidden mystery.
Build libraries Of noble books,
Provide the wisest teaching,
But'if. the people will not heed,
Where is he good of preaching?
'Tis individuality
That counts, and so, think.
We waste much time providing for
The horses who won't drink. The

perform the duties of the office
without fear or favor; he was

CHASED JAPANESE
WITH BIG CLfAvER
Marion Hughes, Just Released from
Jail, Terrorizes Peaceful Resi-
dents of jackson .J3s
Street

Marion Hughes who was released from the
city jail yesterday morning after serving a
sentence for drunkenness, ran amuck last night
on jackson street and, while under the in
huence Of liquor is alleged to have attempted
to clean out the Japanese colony in that dis
trict.
Armed with large butchers cleaver,
Hughes is said to have forced an entrance
into the house of Mrs, Il. Takeuthi, 326 Jack
son street. Mrs Takeuthi was holding her
baby in her arms at the time, and IT is said
that Hughes struck her the forehead with
the nat side of the cleaver, inhicting a slight
wound.
The frightened japanese woman made her
escape through a rear door, and, after smash
ing some of the furniture, Hughes went 10 Il
house at 3l9 Jackson street He was seen
running with the cleaver in his hand and
the occupants beat hasty retreat.
Hughes satisfied himself with battering a
screen door and, not finding anyone in the
house, he used his eleayer on a buggy that
was standing in the street and demolished
this vehicle.
His efforts evidently tired him. When pa
troman Jaggers, who had been summoned by
the frightened Japanese, arrived Hughes was
found sound asleep in a nearby alley. He still
held the cleaver in his hand, but before he
awoke Patrolman Jaggers had him hand
cuffed
Hughes made a desperate attempt TO get
away but handicapped with the handouts,
his resistance was vain and he taken to
police headquarters and locked up charged
with disturbing the peace, more serious
charge will be made against him when ar
raigned In police court this morning.

EXAMINERS WILL
PASS ON PEARY
SCIENTISTS TO MAKE REPORT
ON FINDINGS TODAY
COMMITTEE TO SAY WHETHER
POLE WAS REACHED
Commander VIII Address National
Geographic Society, Which viii
Be His First Lecture Since
Return from North
[By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Concluding
in every detail an examination of Com
mander Robert Z. Peary's proofs of
his discovery of the north pole, the
subcommittee of scientists appointed
to pass on the explorers records will
submit it's report tomorrow morning
to the board of managers of the Ma
tional Geographic society.
The committee has to pass on the
point of whether Peary reached the
pole on the date claimed and the
quickness with which it reached the
decision caused many In scientific cir
cles to believe the exprorer's claim had
been upheld.
The members of the committee would
not discuss their findings.
Commander Peary has been invited,
ii was learned today, to address the
National Geographic society, on his
trip November Il, and has accepted.
This probably will be Peary's first adj
dress since his return from the north.
The failure of Commander Peary TO
call at the navy department during his
presence in the city yesterday created
some comment at the department.
While the commander is on leave, it is
known he was expected TO appear at
the department.
