EASY FOR TOKYO POLICE.

The japanese police have an easier
time than their confreres in Europe.
Crime in the land of the chryanthe-
mum is almost limited TO theft and
tragedies, or serious cases of bodily
harm resulting from street brawls.
II is next to impossible, the chief OF
the Tokyo police says, for a murder
to be committed without some one
hearing Of it at the moment. This
is due to the fact that the houses are
composed of paper and bamboo, so
any noise in a house occasioned by
robbers or assassins would not fail
TO attract the attention Of neighbors-
