Stories of Real Life as Told by
Wire. from Every Section Comes
Tales Of the Busy ORD.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 18.-
Medill Mccormick of Chicago stir
red up a commotion before the Clapp
committee today when, as the first
witness at the days session, he read
a prepared statement touching upon
the attempted assassination of Col
onel Roosevelt, declaring it mao been
melted by "falsehood of character as
sassins and liars like Charles d.
Hilles.
1T is difficult for an ordinary man,
in compass of ordinary language, to
compete with the testimony of char
acter assassins and liars like Mr.
Hilles, men who, because their false
hoods incite weak minded men to ac-
tual assassination" was the passage
which brought out torn Of pro-
test from the committee III which
Chairman Clapp joined.
Mr.. Mccormick argued heatcd!y
that his statement was advisable as
evidence, while Senators oliver and
Clapp declined to allow Mr.. McCor-
mick to proceed and demanded that
he withdraw his words.
The statement was finally admitted
to the record without being read from
the prepared copy. The reference to
the attempt upon Colonel Roosevelt
life was incidental to MIR. Mccormick
general statement OF the campaign
expenses of the Progressive party OF
Illinois.
DENVER, Oct. Mentally IN
strung by business worries, Lester b
Bridaham, aged 40, one of the most
prominent men in Denver's business
and social world, leaped to his death
from window on the seventh floor
of the Colorado building, Sixteenth
and California streets, at 7 O'Clock
this morning. His skull was crush
ed, both legs broken at the angles
and just above the knees, and his
right arm was fractured.
The news of his death spread very
quickly throughout the city. Less
than an hour after the body was re-
ceived at the morgue friends began
TO arrive there. Men prominent in
business and club circles gazed at the
broken form and turned away, weep
ing.
Mrs. Bridaham collapsed in heI
apartments at the Sorrento when rel
atives told her of her husband
death. 1t is feared that the shock
will result seriously for her
For several month Bridaham had
been subject to fits of depression and
on many occasions remarked to his
wife that both would be better off il
he were out of the way. Mrs. Bri1a-
ham, on account of his condition, Eat
watched him closely. The strain un,
dermined her health. Relatives re.
fused to permit her to visit tht
morgue.
Bridaham was formerly of the
Dress Bridaham Drug company, but
was let out. His expenses are sale
to have outclassed his income. II,
was a society man and good fcl

PPHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.-Prof.
Edward Anthony Spitzka, an eminent
alienist, who examined Czolgosz after
the assassination of President McKin-
ley, announced today that John
Schrank, the man who attempted to
take the life of Colonel Roosevelt,
is unquestionably a maniac.
Dr. Spitzka is one of the country's
most famous anthropologists, and his
opinion is always valuable in crimi-
nal cases.

entirely new set of circumstances warranting
the pardon or the Communication Of sentence.
The President realizes that nothing IS
more important than to be merciful where
mercy is possible and right. Having been a
Judge himself, however, and being imbucd
with the Importance of upholding the courts,
he is anxious not to extend urdeServcd kind
ness. He remembers that he is sworn 70 up
hold, not to subvcrt, the law. 1t is for these
reasons that he studies the pardon cases IN
solitude and with tremendous application.
1t is for the same reason that he allows
neither the grief Of women nor the voice Of
the public to draw him away from calm con-
sideration Of the facts His attitude toward
the seekers Of mercy is the capstone Of
splendid system that gives to every offender
equal chances, a fair show, and square
deal.
He hears the cries of all,-the thief, the
murderer. the illicit distiller, the smugglcr,
the burglar He gives to no criminal an ad-
vantage on account Of previous distinction.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-26

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 I wonder what the people of Birming E. ham would think if some morning when they came down to one of their large department stores they saw ev- eryone at the door taking off their shoes and going into tho store in their stock ing feet. That is what saw this morn- in in the largest store in Tokyo-a city of moro than two million people, l started in the store. not seeing the great stack of wooden shoes at the door, The doorkeeper politely stopped me and pointed at my shoes Realizing my embarrassment he stepped back and brought out some cloth slippers which fitted over my shoes, and I was then permitted to enter.
 It is well to remember that in Japan to enter their homes with your shoes on is considered as rude and impolite as to enter one of our parlors at home with your hat on and spit on the floor. This also applies to some of the best stores.
 Tokyo is the capital of Japan and is the largest city. It covers an area of one hunderd square miles. It is one of the few cities that has an up-to-date street car system. For seven sen, equivalent to three and half cents, one can ride from one end of the city to the other, across the hundred square miles and return. The full amount paid on the outgoing trip entities the pas senger to a return trip. The cars are run much oftener and faster than ours. It amuses the foreigner to see the Jap anese come in railroad coach. The first thing he does if on long journey is to spread down a rug he carries. then pulls off his wooden shoes, doubles
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-26

are met at the door by the proprietor and servants galore. They all bow and make a fuss over you. One dainty little maid brushes off your clothes. another takes your hat, another rubs off your shoes, and little giggling girl in her stocking feet modestly helps you off with your overcoat and insists on buttoning it u) when you go out. In fact, you can do ncthing for yourself. You are waited on
 like prince. The hotels are good many of our American institutions would do well to pattern after them.
 Statistics show that not over four per cent of the population have a right to vote owing to the tax qualification of ten yen (s5) per annum. This shows the pow erty of the masses. Their farms, if you could call them so, rarely ever exceed two acres but the quantity of produce it yields puts us to shame. There are no ferces in the country. Meat is rarely ever et ten by the natives. Fish, rice and veg etahies form the substantials of diet. M,lk and butter are almost unknown. They have no sheep, goats or hogs-brt few cows, and horses are scarce and in- ferior. The timber supply Is very poor. Some soft coal, a good supply of copper a,.c little iron ore are the mineral re- sources. Their national debt is over billion of dollars. Yet the Japanese are trying to be modern aud to compete w4.
 the big nations of the world.
 When l saw these conditions and that tho little island was no larger than one O. our many states, and that not more than one-fifth of their country was hab- itable, and situated over six thousand miles from our shores with no coaling sta ton between. I wondered how any good American with any sand In his craw could ever fear the yellow peril'' and the ultin ate result of a war with Japan. Of ore thing am sure-Japan does not want war with the United States and will never seek it. Their navy of course is known to be splendid. A few master minds In ths country have moulded it. A fish and ric ce-eating people have not murmured as they bent their backs almost to the break Ing point to pay for it. Will they, can
