JAPANESE TREATY RATIFIED.

oma HE Senate has ratified the treaty with Japan, and by praci-
caly a unanimous vote. Western senators were placated
by the assurance that the treaty contained no concession in
respect to Japanese immigration further than the elimination Of a
clause that had been made unnecessary by diplomatic agreement
by which Japan will refuse to grant certificates to her subjects
for immigration to the United States. If this agreement is re-
ligiously kept there will be no necessity for written covenants
hurtful to Japanese pride. 1t is well that the matter has been
disposed of by the Senate without any heated controversy to stir up
popular feeling in the two countries.

wisdom Of Obcyfne Sanitary Rules.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Being interested in the work Of the
Newark Anti Tuberculosis Association
and knowing thai the Evening STAR
will champion any good cause, the
writer wishes to appeal to the manu-
facturers in this city through your
Rostrum columns. Many owners of
factories, In which hundreds of people
are employed, entirely disregard the
warnings which come from the head
quarters of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. As
ISOLATION.
Placards. with instructions how to
avoid the white plague. are distributed
by the association, and many proprie-
tors have the sense to see the all
round benefit derived from obeying
these instructions. Others are too busy
watching their employees and seeing
that not a momen Is lost in turning
labor into money. Sanitary rules are
left to the spare time and within of the
employee.
Manufacturers should cooperate with
the members of the Newark Anti
tuberculosis Association; it is their
duty at least. The n Of these
working shops will o observe the
benefits to the health of their en-
ployees and the consequen improve
ment In their work for him. This
should not be the main appeal to the

ents or guardian of such minor or in
any other manner whatsoever, the
question involved being
First-If a should invite guests to
his home and passes around to his
said guests any intoxicating liquor,
and if any of his guests has a minor
child present and a gives said minor
child an intoxicating drink, he is
guilty under said statutes, even tho
by consent Of his parents.
The second proposition is-If A
invites guests to his home and has
intoxicating liquors poured out on
his sideboard or table and the minor
child of one Of his guests, unbaknow1
to A, procures a drink of the intox-
icating liquor, A would be guilty un-
der this ruling, he being the cause
Of the minor getting the drink.
These were the only two points in
the case of state VS.. Konopacki, both
of which were decided as stated
above. After the ruling the only
thing for defendant to do was to
plead guilty, which he did.
It will be seen that by the above
ruling the statute is very broad and
persons giving parties, dances. etc,
will be liable if they give away Ifq-
uor in any form whatsoever to min
ors-Stevens Point Gazette.

LOSES HAND IN
CORN SHREDDER

Guy Buhlgren, second son of Aug
ust Buhlgren, who resides in the town
of New Rome, Adams county, while
shredding corn Friday, had his right
hand so badly mangled that it was
necessary to amputate the arm about
four inches above the wrist It ap-
pears that while shredding corn, an
ear of corn got lodged and he tried
to eXtricate it and his hand was
caught Drs. Waters and Pomain-
vile of Nekoosa were called and
cared for the patient. We presume
this corn shredder was not protect
ed by guard as provided by law,
otherwise the young man would not
have lost his hand. We understand
there is a penalty now for using
corn shredders without the guard.
This accident is a severe loss to the
young man who is only eighteen years
Of age and has his whole life be-
fore him.

GRAY RELEASED
FROM JAIL

W A. Gray was released from the

where he has been confined since last
August and was waiting trial in tht
circuit court on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretense.
fhe company Gray represented him
self to be working for refused to ap-

without sufficient proof to prosecute
the case and the man was released.
It will be remembered that Gray
was arrested in August on complaint
of Gene Miller to whom he had sold
land in Texas taking a small money
payment and a note. Upon inYesti-
cation it became known that Gray
was repudiated by the firm which he
said he represented and prosecution
was started here. Gray was bound
over to appear for trial in the cir
cult court and not being able to Sc
cure bail was confined in the jail.
Before being released, he returned
the note and money to Gene Miller.
