JAPAN's NEW CRIMINAL CODE
Great Changes in the Island Empires
Penal Laws and Prison Admins
tration In Recent Years.

Washington, Oct. Remarkable
changes in the penal laws and the
prison administration of Japan have
occurred since the adoption of the
new criminal code in Japan in 1908,
according to T. Sanagi, commission.
er of the prison bureau of the Jap
anese department of justice, address
ing the International Prison con-
gress this afternoon. ut seems to
us now" said Mr.. Sanagi, las II our
old criminal code must have belonged
to an entirely different age.
The new criminal code recognizes
fully that the circumstances under
which similar crimes are committed
differ widely. and that the penalties
therefore may properly differ. More
over, the suspension OF Imprisonment
may occur when the sentence Is for
not over two years. BY the Japanese
form of indeterminate sentence a
prisoner may obtain his provisional
release at the end of one-third OF his
sentence. and life prisoner is eligf-
BILE for ticket-of-leave at the end OF
ten years of Imprisonment. Furth-
ermore. the cases of the aggravation
of penalty for repeated offenses have
been diminished The number of
persons who commit repeated often
SEES tends annually to increase.
"In the new Japanese criminal code
the age at which responsibility FOR
crime commences has been raised
from twelve to fourteen years. BY
our new code the dread OF punishment
has been augmented. From the
standpoint of criminal policy and in
view of the objects and principles
of the new code. the results so far
have been satisfactory.
Impressions of the finger prints OF
all prisoners are obtained and kept
in central Identification bureau
There is now segregation of young
persons of less than eighteen years
apart from older prisoners. Special
treatment is given to Juvenile delin.
quents up to the age of eighteen
Jails must be inspected at least once
in two years. Persons afflicted with
infectious diseases specified in the
contagious disease law may be re,
fused. The unclaimed bodies OF de-
ceased prisoners may be given for
dissection"

 According to MT Mann. he is the forerunner Of several parties in the vicinity of his home who have con- siderable capital that they Would not be averse to investing in any com munitY where their returns would be apparently safe The land in the vi- cinity Of Whittier which has bearing orchards is not only held at high fig ures. but il sells far from s2.500 to 5.O00 per acre Several tracts were mentioned by the gentleman in con- verS;,tion which ran easily above three and four thousand dollars Der acre. With the freedom from pests and an assurance of no freezing weather. MT. Mann expressed himself as believing that there was hardly | citizen in the valley who could real ize the future ahead of this section.
 Just what investments would be made at this time or whether any would be made at all was not given out. but the gentleman has practically decided that he will at least take up quarter section of the desert land under the desert land entry and will arrange some means to get water on q portion Of il within a reasonable length Of time.
 one of the important characteris- tics which will be found in Mr Manns conversation is that one does not hesitate to tell him that land in this section is worth from sl0" to $500 per acre. and then hear him di- late on the idea that interest could never be made on an investment at such q figure. The reason for this is that the gentleman comes from sec ton where interest is made on in-

IL IS further stated that the baggage of the defendant was hauled to the noon train "Wednesday by the Lightning Transfer company wagon in the regu- lar manner that any other luggage would be hauled for q customer who is making preparation to leave the city. The ticket at the local station was purchased for Phoenix There appears to be nothing irregular in this. for il is a common custom to buy 4 ticket To Phoenix and then buy from that point to destination. when the destination happens to be at a considerable distance
 According to the defendant. he ex- pected to come tn this place upon the completion of his business in New York. He had left several of his personal belongings here. includ- ing his bed. He announced that he would return within sixty or ninety days.
 It appears that the plaintiff. after lIit Judgment Was secured against the defendant. became alarmed for fear that he would be unable 10 collect and sought to attach and did attach the baggage of the defendant al the Phoenix station.
 What the outcome of the case will be remains to be seen. II is claimed by the plaintiff that all he asks in the matter is that the account be set tied and that he is willing to dis miss all suits and charges of all kinds The defendant. on the other hand, claims that the arrest was timed so as tc be the more humiliat- ing and that it's real province was born out Of spitework. The defendant further ayers that as soon as il can be shown that he owes the acccun. he is willing to settle il in full. hut until such time he expects to fight the case from a point nf principle if nothing more.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
 FROM ELECTROCU1|0K
Boy Fell From Pole of the Sscator Transmission Line.

Information was brought to this place yesterday afternoon Of q mirac ulous escape from instant death on the Sacaton transmission line, carry ing eleven thousand volts
 From the best information obtain able il appears that about , o'clock Wednesday afternoon an Indian boy about 10 years of age climbed one of the steel poles of the Reclamation Service near well No. and came in contact with the wires. He was burned about the head, the skin was scraped from his leg from the knee down and he was thrown from the pole 10 the ground. q distance of thir- ty feet, resulting in the fracture of before the lad received medical aid. The accident WAS discovered by the men at the J. B. Atkinson camp and they immediately sent q messenger to the Indian school across the river and q doctor was summoned. who ar rived at the scene of the accident about o'clock in the evening.
 The reclamation officials who re- ported the case are at q loss to un- derstand why the boy was not killed instantly. The fall of thirty feet within itself is enough to end the life of the ordinary individual. but the youngster appeared to be invul- nerable to all natural attacks upon his life. The instant that the lad came in contact with the wires the automatic switches ripped out imne diatelY so that the current could not have been in action through the body for greater than a quarter Of a sec ond, but in the ordinary instance that would be sufficient to prove fatal.
 The reclamation service installS its wires according to the very best and safest practice. being very careful to keep away from buildings. trees and contact with them. IL is practically
 impossible to get into trouble with them without one plays the part of 2 trespasser and goes to considerable trouble to do so. Few, if any. power concerns Of the country go to the pains for safety as does the Recla nation Service.
 According to the officials Of the re- clamation service. parents should be requested to continually caution their children against climbing any poles carryin. wires of any kind. This is not the first accident that has hap pened on the transmission line owned and operated by the reclamation s=r- vice. IL is impossible to keep people from climbing tine poles. They should be informed. and in fact the newspa- pers have used columns of space in warning people of the danger of Jle electric wires. Practical demonStra- tionS have been given as tn the re suits following the climbing of the poles and coming in contact with the wires. Not one person in a thousand would be able to get off SO fortunately as this Indian lad, and even he would undoubtedly testify to the fact that these wires are really dangerous
