SEOUL, Korea, July 1.-The cases
of the Koreans charged with plotting
against the government, and the life
Of the Governor General, are to come
up for hearing shortly. The evidence
In the hands Of the public prosecutor
Is understood to be vOluminous. In
all 1O3 persons are held.
The interesting feature Of there ar
rests is that nearly al Of the accused
are protesting Christians. This has
caused much comment, and the accus-
alton has been made that the Japan
ese Government was directing a cam
paign especially against Christians
because Of uneasiness lest the influ-
ence OF the church might become un.
pleasantly powerful in Japan's new
possession.
The oficials OF Korea, including the
Governor-G General, express surprise at
the attitude taken by a number Of the
leading missionaries. The Governor.
General, Count Terauchi, himself has
said that there did not exist In the
Official mind the faintest suspicion of
any completely or foreknowledge on
the part OF the missionary body in con.
nection with this plot. He declared
that 1t was the desire of the Govern.
ment to cooperate heartily with the
missions, and said: II and my sue
cessor will always live up to the prom.
ises and the program laid down when
Japan first assumed the control and
Government OF Korea. The instruc.
lions of the Emperor are that religion
and politics must be kepS apart. In
other words the State and Church
form two different branches. Both.
however, tend to the same goal, which
is, the betterment Of the people, and
both must cooperate"
General Akashi, the chief Of the 20
lice. said that the evidence Of a plo,
was, he believed, conclusive, but the
great difficulty al to secure truth
full statements from the Koreans con
cerned. These were mostly young
men with advanced ideas-students-
and he admitted most Of them were
students in the mission schools. He
said that In the last large numbers oil
Koreans had professed Christianity

assistance of the foreign mission

After the japanese had annexed Ko

workingmen's compensation act pass
ed by the recent session Of the Mass

400 other prisoners are confined. The
prison 10 crowded. The prisoners sit
closet ytogether and occupy each just
sufficient space to enable him to lie
down. However, the Korean in his
own home lives and moves In small
space. The cells are clean and thor.
oughly we'll ventilated. The prisoners
all appear to be cleanly clothed and
to be in good health. One or two Of
the better class Of prisoners are o n
fined in more spacious cells, and M
Of them, q baron, formerly Minister OF
Education, has a cell to himself with
mating and ample bedding.
The accusation has been frequently
published, and IL believed by many Of
the missionaries, that torture has
been used in the preliminary examin-
atoms to elicit testimony which might
prove the case for the police. The
Governor.Ge General and General Akashl
positively deny the use of any form OF
torture or Of violence In the prison.
Some prisoners who have been re-
leased have shown marks which they
declared were caused by torture, such
as hanging by the thumbs, flogging
and mental influences. Analysis Of
their stories does fot prove the truth
of the statements. Certainly nor Of
the prisoners now confined shows
any outward evidence of torture.
A number Of missionaries express
themselves as satisfied that q plot did
exist.
The trial will be open and the pris-
oners will be given counsel. The evil
dence will all be read In open court,
and appeals to two higher courts are
permissible.
The common belief Is that the Ease
will develop q conspiracy In which a
number Of educated young Koreans
have been connected as %theleaders.
1t is asserted that Koreans now liv-
ing in America and certain other per.
sons who have been connected with
KOrea's past but who are now living
in America, will be shown to have
contributed money and advice. Ger
tain of the prisoners were the recip-
tents Of these funds. and are known
to have discussed them. There is
reason to believe that ONE of these
we're %innocently . part Of the plot.
The revolution in China gave a con-
siderable impetus to this particular
conspiracy. which sought a revolution
and the restoration Of Korean indie
pendence. The assassination OF the
Governor.G General was discussed as a
part Of this conspiracy, it is believed;
and the assassination OF Prince Ito,
Durham White Stevens and the at
tempted assassination of the premier
Of Korea, all believed to have been the
work Of Christian converts, lend con-
siderable credence to the present
charge.
The Governor General has made a
personal request to the chief OF police
and prosecution that these young men
be dealt with % leniently as possible.
The missionaries In Korea almost
without exception pay tribute to the
present administration, while some of
them are disturbed lest the work OF
the Christian church in Korea should
receive too heavy q blow as a result OF
these prosecutions.

Oldest inhabitant of this count y, cele-
brated the nine hundred and sixty
eighth anniversary Of his birth, at his
home. at 2843 Olivet Road. today.
The old gentleman was rendered an
elaborate AID touching ovation by the
nocks Of descendants who attended.
The relatives at first objected to giving
their ancestor a regular birthday
party, fearing that the strain Of such
an occasion might tire him. Mr..
Methuselah. however, would hear Of no
simplicity.

coming to me in honor Of it. To hear

my life to the fact that have rigidly

will be held"
The Fifth Regiment Armory had
been leased for the family reunion,
but at the last moment 1t was dis
covered to be far too small. The
family had to adjourn to tho Wright
Aviation Field. three miles east Of
town, on the Babylon Pike. They
marched out eight abreast with Mr..
Methuselah at the head. 1t took them
four hours and thirty-seven minutes
to pass q given point.
Among the prominent local mon
who shook the old gentleman's An
was a heavy sprinkling Of politicians.
There are three precincts Of the
Fourth Ward in which every voter is
either descendant or descendant
in law of Mr.. Methuselah and they all
ask him how to mark their ballots.
A faux pas came near being COM
mitted by Prof. Carlo Bozo, whose
Silver Cornet Band furnished tho
melody for the occasion. The Pro-
lessor raped couple Of times on his

the band struck up "Silver Threads
Among the Gold"
Now, Mr.. Methuselah's hair has be-
gun to turn grey about the ears and
it is touchy question with him. He
has shown such an unusual concern
on the comparatively trivial subject
that some fear 1t is an indication OF
approaching second childhood. Be-
fore the band had torn Off enough OF
the obnoxious tune for the hearers to
tell what 1t was. one of the great
great grandchildre with admirable
presence Of mind, got the leaders
baton entangled with his whtskers,
and wrecked the melody. He then
explained matters to the leader and
the orchestra attacked "Alexander's
Ragtime Band"
Perhaps the prettiest incident Of the
entire day was the meeting Of tho
head of the family and James H.
Methuselah, Jr. James H., Jr., will be
four months old Saturday. He is the
at-great- great great great great
grandson Of the venerable founder Of
the tribe. His mother unanimously
agrees that he Is the smartest and
handsomest baby that ever did our
earth the credit Of living on it.
Mr.. Methuselah took the child in
his arms, and after chucking him un-
der the chin with q wrinkled. fore
finger, remarked: 49,.
"Hullo!'
To which the child responded as,
follows:
"Blob!"
The answer was unintelligible to the
rest Of the crowd, but the child's
mother easily interpreted 1t. She de-
clares that he said:
"Hullo, grandpop! Is your rheuma-
tism good to you today? May you
have many happy birthdays after this
one. Fine weather we are having"

Mr.. Methuselah declares that any

he lays down can collect as many
birthdays as himself. Here are some
Of the "Don'ts":
