WRECKED LIFE FOR PUGILlST

eide, Says Jeifries Fight Left
Him Broken Down.

champion heavy weight pugilist Of
the world, died as a suicide after

apartment over the champions sa-
loon. Johnson said the nature and
extent of his sufferings after the
championship fight had been secret
between his wife and himself.

AERoPLANE GUNS.


The experiments by Captain Lewis
Of the United States army, and the
more recent tests of the British army
at Marlborough show that machine
guns can be fred from flying aero
planes with greater degree Of accu-
racy than has yet been attained at
shooting along the ground. A target
was struck at almost the rate OF nine
times out Of ten, which means that
very little ammunition was wasted.
The accuracy of plunging fire is nota-
BILE In military annals. At Sedan the
encompassing cannon Of the Germans
planted on elevations compelled Louis
Napoleon's capitulation under threat
Of humiliation. In the Russian-Japan-
ese war Port Arthur was doomed when
the Japanese poured into the city their
CALLING fire from the great heights
above. The fact that the Japanese
worked long to gain those elevations
again proved the recognized value OF
plunging fire. The war in Tripoli has
shown that great damage can be done
by mere bombs dropped from directly
overhead. This being demonstrated,
the military authorities of Europe are
now using machine guns. These can
be aimed and fired more accurately
than anything that is dropped. There
is less waste of ammunition and more
ammunition can be carried, The ex-
periments combine to make a powerful
argument for peace.

EMIT, COUNTESS" szABo.
Accused Is TraiIed From Home to

Squad of Newspaper Men.

New York, N. Y.-Burton w.
Gibson, the New York lawyer, whose
client, Mrs. Rusena Menschik Szaso,
lost her life when boating with him
on Greenwood lake, New York, on
July Is, was taken into custody by
Deputy Sheriff de Graw of Orange
county, on a warrant charging Gibson
with murder in the first degree. The
warrant was issued at Middletown,
N. Y, by Judge Royce, after evidence
that the woman, who left an estate Of
$4,000, had been strangled, had been
laid before him.
Gibson came to the city, trailed by
private detectives and a squad of re-
porters AS he walked through the
streets to his office a crowd of sew
eral hundred persons followed him.
Gibson, with a private detective, went
to his office and awaited the arrival
of De Graw.
Gibson explained that while he was
mot worried about the strangulation
charge, he had felt bit anxious over
the outcome of the autopsy fearing
that poison in the embalming fluid
would lead to mistaken impression
that poison had been administered.
He added, however, that he had
looked up the law an found that the
use of an embalming fluid containing
an active or irritant poison was no
longer permitted.
Il ceased to worry after that said
the lawyer.

No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action Of caffeine-the drug

because it, too, contains the drug caf-

When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.

COUNT NOGI AND
WIFE END LIVES
BOTH COMMIT SUICIDE OVER
BODY OF LATE EMPEROR
OF JAPAN.
TO SHOW LOVE FOR MIKADO
Hero Of Port Arthur, Taken as High
est Type Of His Race-Led Jap
anese Army in Wars Against
Both China and Russia.

Toklo,-General Nogi, hero of the
Russian-Japanese war, and his wife,
committed suicide here.
Both Nogi and his wife stabbed
themselves to death over the body of
the late emperor.
The suicide of General Nogi and his
wife came as a climax to the funeral
services conducted for Emperor Nut
Buhito. The general was a devoted
friend of the late mikado and it is
believed that grief over the death of
the monarch drove the general to the
decision to commit suicide in accord
ance with the Shinto belief that 1t is
just and holy to die in memory of a
friend.
Count Nogi was the general who
captured Port Arthur with a brilliant
assault in the late Russo-Japanese
war.
Helped Organize Army.
Count Nogi was an ascetic warrior
of the old Samurai school He be-
gan his military studies when only IA,
and for 40 years he was identified
with the rise of the new Japan. He
helped to organize the army that
afterwards proved its prowess in Man
churia He captured Port Arthur by
a single assault when China and ia
pan were at war, and the same task
was given him when Japan declared
war against her more formidable
neighbor, Russia.
Two of Gen. Nogi's sons were killed
during the great siege. One lost his
life at Nanshan, the other at 203-
Meter Hill. He bore their death with
the calm fortitude of true Samurai,
and hid his grief with a serene coup
tenance.
Ideal Of Japanese Soldier.
Nogi had but one rival for the high
est place in the Japanese heart that
a commoner could gain. Togo, who
won the battle of the Sea of Japan,
came out of the war with Russia with
almost as high fame.
Nogi had been declared by Japan
ese writer's to be tile ideal Of Japan
ese soldier and gentleman. He was
Choshu Samurai Of high education.
He served in the Satsuma rebellion.
the Chino-Japanese war, and in the
Russian war.
His home life was one of great
austerity, although the state had
showered him with gifts and wealth,
After the war, Nogi was made SUI
preme military councillor, and was
also placed at the head of Gukushu-
In. school where the princes o.
Japan are trained.
