JAPANESE ENDS LIFE BY
COMMITTING HARA-KlRI
Samurai of Oita Dies to Show Resent
ment of Excessive Europeaniza-
ton of His Country

TOXIC, Jan. 19.-Hanji Shimadzu'
samurai of Oita, 20 years old, has
committed suicide according to tradi-
tional japanese methods as a protest
against the excessive Europeanization
of his country.
Recently he heard of the arrest of
three of his young nephews on a
charge of trying to sWindle a Hako-
date fish merchant by means of the
American gold brick sW1ndle. This
caused him keen modification.
The aged man probably would have
survived this disgrace, but later he
learned that one of his friends who
had lost his income had tried to COM
nit suicide by hanging himself from
a pine tree in Shiba park The rope
broke and the would-be suicide was
taken to the police station
When Shimadzu heard of this Incl
dent he decided. he had lived long
enough. He wrote a letter complain-
ing that western vices We're demoral-
izing his countrymen. He particular
ly resented the attempt of his friend
to hang himself as peing a reprehensi-
BILE way of leaving the world. Shi-
madzu announced he would commit
hara-kiri in order to show the new
generation how a Japanese gentleman
should die.
For a few days." says one of the
native newspapers, "the aged samural
purified himself with cold water, and
on the appointed morning he COM
mitted hara-kiri, observing every de-
tail of the etiquette for the Japanese
way of self f-destruction.
HE was clad in white, and he in
fiicted the wounds as prescribed by

TERRITORIES TO Be
ADMITTED NEXT YEAR
NO CHANCE FOR ARIZONA AND
NEW MEXICO NOW
Senate Committee Objects to HamiI
ton Bill Because No Pro-
vision in Time Is Made
for Elections

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-No new
stars will be added to the American flag
before the summer of 1911, according to
the plan under consideration in the
senate committee on territories.
The program is said to have the in
dorsement of President Taft. 1t pro-
vides for the reporting of an entirely
new bill for the admission Of New Mex
leo and Arizona as states.
The Hamilton bill, which was passed
in the house. is declared to be objec-
tionable to the senate committee on
two grounds. First, it does not provide
for sufficient time between the pro-
posed territorial elections and the
adoption of constitutions and the cleo
ton of state officers and members of
the senate and house of representatives.
The other objection relates to the
protection of public interests in reia-
tion to existing and proposed land
proposed land grants.
Under the terms of the Hamilton bill,
elections of officials of the new states
and representatives in congress could
be held almost Immediately after state
constitutions were adopted and ap-
proved by the president.
The new bill will authorize New
Mexico and Arizona to hold elections
for the adoption of constitutions, but
no election for state officers and mem-
bers Of congress could be held until
after the constitutions had been ap-
proved by the president and congress,
The effect of this provision would be
to permit the territories to hold con-
stitutional conventions and elections
for the adoption of the constitutions
during the present year, but the con-
stitutions could not be ratified until
congress met next December, After
ratification the state elections could be
held.
Under the terms of the proposed SEN
ate bill the two territories could not
be possibly admitted before the sum
mer of 1911 The Republican members
of the senate committee headed by
Senator BeVeridge have conferred with
President Taft, and it is understood
they are unnimously in favor of this
program.

cruelty upon which the sGit was
brought when Justice MtHs asked her
if she was faVorably disposed 10 the

was taking the step for better or for
worse, and that she should never come

husbands affairs"
Despite the laudable resolution on
Mrs Kershaw's part, the newly we'd

Finally Mrs. Green, who is young and
pretty, claims she had to seek the
protection of her fathers home because
of her husbands cruelty. The two

AUTOlST WHO is FIRE FAN
MADE DIVORCE DEFENDANT 7
Wife Says She Is Tired OF Beng
Awakened at All Hours of
the Night

CHICAGO, Jan. ia $1,000 touring
car with alarm attachments and a
craze for going to fires are said to be
principally responsible for the suit for
seDarate maintenance filed by Mrs.
Harvey l.. Goodall against her hus-
band.
Goodall is one of the original fifteen
Fire Fans, an organization of wealthy
Chicagoans who have a penchant for
following the clang of the fire bell.
Mrs. Goodall charges that her hus-
band has fitted up electric connect
tions with their home SO that when
an alarm sounds he may know of the
fire, and that he thinks more OF his
hobby than he does of paying atten-
ton to her. Goodall is vice president
of five publishing and news agencies.
Il am tired of being aroused from
my sleep at all hours of the night" 3"
said Mrs. Goodall 'Mr. Goodall has a
big fire gong in our home that records
ali fires in Chicago. He seems to
think it his duty to attend all fires,
and as soon as the gong sounds he
dashes downstairs and is off in his big
touFing car to the scene of the con-
1lagration.
He alarms the neighborhood by
footing the big calliope horn on his
machine. I have lost hours of sleep
through Mr. Goodalls fad and am
tired of it. He is away from home
hours at a time attending fires"
