He OBEYED
UNWRITTEN
LAW OF JAPAN

San Francisco, May 29--Denied a
Jail sentence, as an alternative Of
committing hari kari, to which the
laws of his people condemned him
for intriguing with a friends wife,
Ichi Matu Onashi, Japanese, was
finally forced to turn to death here
and hanged himself in the detention
hospital, where he had been sent as
insane.
Ohashi walked into police head
quarters last night and asked for a
20-year Jail sentence. He explained
his offense and stated that unless he
committed hari kari his relatives In
Japan would be forced by custom to
do so. He preferred the white mans
punishment-jail.
Captain of Detectives Bunner, to
whom Ohashl made his plea. did not
get" the psychology of the case, and
sent Ohashi to the detention hospital.
There the Jap declared he was not
insane, but simply wished to choose
the lesser of two evils. He was
placed in a straight jacket.
Deciding finally that death was
best, Ohashi with his teeth, tore him
self free from his bonds, and when
the keepers entered this morning,
was found hanging by the neck from
the grating Of the window in his CELL

THE PRINTERS
OBSERVE FIRST
MEMORIAL DAY

Salem local Typographical Union
observed the first Printers Memorial
Day, with appropriate services yes

honored by the printers but a large
number Of their friends attended the
services at the big Holman hall. TO
show not only their liking for the
printer boys personally, but their re-
speet for and appreciation of the
craft.
The hall was prettily decorated
with flowers and promptly at 2:3O E.

brought down his gavel and gave the
call so well known to all printers:

The fine quartet, Geo. c. L. SNYDER

ing song, "A Little Longer. Rev.
Davis Errett then invoked divine
guidance. Following this President

strated that there is no place or situ-
alton that the everyday printer man
cannot till to oyerfowing. At its
conclusion he introduced Rev. Fred
NJ Waehlte, pastor of the M.
church at Willamina, who is an old
printer, though still a young man.
who delivered an eloquent sermon
taking has his text the words of the
thief upon the cross, Remember me /"
He spoke feelingly of "the printer
boys who have gone away" and
drew some word pictures on the
pleasure and delights of memory that
recalls and makes live again the
friends and loved ones who have pre-
ceded us, that deserve to be pre-
served in type. He drew the distinc-
tlon between memory and recollec-
tion, the latter being the result of
eHort, the former spontaneous and
involuntary, and showed how 1t gen.
erously brought back to us only the
pleasant things, covering as does the
grass the barren spots, and showing
us the ever living verdure of love and
friendship. Rev. Mr.. Waehlte will be
heard from in the larger pulpits ere
many years.
The poem, "The Printer" written
by one of the Journal staff for the
occasion, is published elsewhere in
this issue, and modesty forbids the
writer commenting on it.
Judge George H. Burnett of the
supreme court, who is also an old
printer, talked most Interestingly for
10 minutes, and in beginning his lit
tie brotherly talk, produced from his
vest pocket the printers rule he used
while working on the West Side"
with A. V. R. Snyder. He recalled
many of the old time Salem printers
and was listened to with deep inter-
est.
The quartet which gave "Art Thou
Weary, preceding the reading of the
poem, gave at the close, Saviour,
Comfort Me-. and after the benedic-
tion by Rev. Waehlte, the printers
and their guests boarded the cars for
the cemetery where the graves of the
departed craftsmen were decorated
with flowers. A prayer, song by
the quartet, photograph of the
group, and the first Memorial Day of
the printers of America was over.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. ia
committee Of t'aveling men called
Governor Hooper Saturday night at
the executive mansion, asking him to
reappoint DR.. Lucius P. Brown for
another term of office as state chem
list, food and drug inspector. In his
official capacity DR.. Brown is charg-
ed with the enforcement of the hotel
law, which was passed by the last
legislature, largely through the in
strumentality of the commercial
tourists of the state. The purpose OF
the law is to improve sanitary condi-
tions in the hostelries of Tennessee,
where the travelling men practically
make their homes the larger part OF
the year.
Under the provisions of this law
q hotel inspector is to be appointed
to assume Office on January l, 1912.
Prominent in the delegation calling
on the governor were M. F. Heron,
president of the Tennessee United
Commercial Travellers; R. J. Cowan,
counsellor of the U. G. T., and Geo.
A. Gowan, president Of the Tennes-
see branch of the Travellers Protec-
tive Association. Other members OF
the delegation were local and visit
ing travelling men. Gov. Hooper ex-
tended the delegates most cordial
welcome, but did not commit himself
in regard TO the naming of DR..
Browns successor.
It is interesting to note the gro
GERS stand in regard to the weights
and measures law that is being so
rigidly nforced by DR.. Brown. The
retailers of the city are as one in en-
dorsing the inspections, and have sig
MED their willingness to aid DR..
Brown in the work Of stopping the
use of fraudulent weights and meas
-ures in the sale Of foodstuffs.
The Retail Grocers Association at
a recent meeting adopted resolutions
endorsing the work done by DR..
Browns office, and on Saturday H.
G.. Hill, of the H. G.. Hill Grocery and
Baking Company, told the inspector
that he would do everything in his
power to educate his trade into buy
ing their groceries by weight, and
that he would aid DR.. Brown in any
way he could to stop the practice of
short weighing among the hucksters
and farmers.
Dr. Brown said that he felt highly
gratified at the way that the local
merchants had taken hold of the
measure, and that he was sure that
1t would only be short while before
the public at large would appreciate
the economy of buying by weight.

That there has been considerable

by the fact that Uncle Sam has de-
