was boycotted by the neighbors until
an indefinite time in the seventies.
However, all that is forgotten now,

Lee had felt the breath of patriotism
stirring in the dry, sapless bones of
his native land and wished to enroll
himself under the Dragon flag to fight
against the tyrant and, as patriotic
Americans, we could not but approve
his choice.
Lin Lee disappeared just as mys-
teriously as Lin Loo had come, but
that made no difference. Lin Loo
was just as capable laundryman as
Lin Lee. The ladies of our family,
in fact, maintained that Lin Loo had a
special genius for interpreting the
laundry needs of their own garments

LIN LEE, PATRIOT
How He Provided for His Wife'S
Safety When Called on
to Fight.
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

Nobody ever suspected that there
we're two Cinnamon in Lin Lees
laundry until we met Lin Loo. For
the matter of that, nobody cared, or
would have cared, II there had been
half dozen. Cinnamon come and go
and nobody takes any stock OF them
except the immigration officials, main
ly because all Cinnamon look alike, at
first glance, to the unframed Cauca-
sian eye. And the first glance is like
ly in most cases, to be the last, also.
In that part of Virginia where Lin
Lee had hts temporary residence
Cinnamon are not common. The
slight prejudice against them in the
north and the considerable antagon-
ism of the west do not exist. II
they were not pig-tailed heather they
might pass among US whites as equals
and come of the Ramsay family
To say that is quite enough in our
part of the country.
Everybody liked Lin Lee. He had
cut off his pigtail and he attended
the Episcopal church. When he
brought home the laundry he was gen
orally asked to come into the parloI
and have a glass Of wine. Yes, II
sounds odd, know, but Lee was
very intelligent man, member Of the
Chinese Reform association, and hat
studied law in Canton, he told US
before the Manchus drove him from
the country on account Of his partici
patton in a seditious movement. Like
all Cinnamon, he had natural geniuI
for the washtub.
So Lin Lee became a resident o
our village and, as l said, everybod.
thought he occupied his shanty alone
We though so until the evening
when, having brought home the laun
dry in its usual highly starched con
dition, and having received the re-

PREACHER KILLS SELF

Clovis, N. M, May s9.-Rev ]. E.
Givens 80 years old, and a Methodist
minister with circuit in Curry
county committed suicide at 2 o'clock
yesterday morning on his ranch a
few miles north of Clovis.
The aged minister slashed himself
in the throat with a sharp knife and
death is believed to have been prac
tically instantaneous.
While no cause can be definitely as
signed for the rash deed, it is believed
that deceased was suffering from men
tai alteration, the theory being based
upon the report that two brothers and
one sister of deceased had committed
suicide.
Rev. Mr. Givens was well known in
eastern New Mexico and was highly
respected and his death proved a
severe shock to the people of the
community in which he labored.

AFTER MAKING CLOSEST OBSERVATIONS
FRIEDMAN CURE NOT PROVED GOOD

In our series Of patients, Dr.
Friedman has almost exclusively
made use of the intramuscular meth
cd alone in pulmonary cases, and a
very considerable proportion OF them
have either developed no considerable
infiltrate at all or nave suffered
from abscess formations. It is evil
dent, therefore, that very consider
able portion Of these patients may
expect their treatment at the hands
of DR.. friedman to extend over a
long period.
Concerning the cultures submitted
to us, we may state that a series Of
experiments is under way. The
bacillous has been found to be an
acid-fast organism, having properties
quite different from those Of any tu-
bercuIe bacilious with which we are
acquainted. It appears to be identi-
cal with an organism cultivated from a
few loop-fulls of the material used for
injection, which Dr. Friedman per
mitted us to place on culture media
in his presence. We requested Fried.
mann to furnish us with a large
amount Of this material for examina-
ton, but this he has declined to do"

Washington, May 8. The public
health service observations, SO far,

ITS NATURE NOT KNOWN
TWO OFFICIALS CONFER DURING
THE MORNING AT STATE
DEPARTMENT
PUBLICITY TO COME SOON
UPON BRYAN's RETURN FROM
NEW YORK MATTER WILL
BE CONSIDERED

Washington, May 9.-Japan's formal
protest against the California alien
land bill was submitted to Secretary
Bryan at the state department ear
ly today by viscount Chinda, in
person. The protest will be placed
before President Wilson and the caz-
met by Secretary Bryan today that
an answer may be promptly returned
to the Japanese embassy.
Secretary Bryan was a little late in
arriving at his office, but five minutes
after the appointed hour he was in
conference with viscount Chinda, who
came to the state department alone.
The conference lasted for half an
hour and at its conclusion the secre-
tsry and the ambassador left the de-
partment together. the former going
directly to the White House to sub
nit to the president the written com
munication which the ambassador had
given to him, and the ambassador re-
turned to the embassy.
At noon secretarp Bryan left the
cabinet meeting.
Il have no statement to make at
this time," was his only reply to al
INQUIRIES. The cabinet remained in
session and there were some infina-
tions that some statement might
come from the White House later
Shortly afterward Secretary Bryan
and the ambassador again met at the
state department, but their conference
was necessarily short. The secretary
had to take the 1890 O'Clock train
for New York where he is to deliver
an address tonight at banquet.
Mr., Bryan said the conference with
the ambassador would be resumed to.
morrow upon his own return from
New York
other members Of the cabinet re-
fused without exception to discuss
the situation further than to say the
general situation was gone over.
There is a strong probability Of a
special cabinet meeting tomorrow to
permit Mr.. Bryan to lay before the
president and his colleagues the re-
suits Of his further conference with
the Japanese ambassador.
At the White House and the state
department there was every evidence
OF the intention Of the president and
the cabinet to go into the question
without delay and give to the Japan
csc government a prompt outline Of
the federal governments attitude to-
ward the Webb bill, should Governor
johnson sign it.

THEY BEAT a WITCH

Hillsboro, N. NJ, May 9,-Maiiano
1rujillo, Eduardo Chavez and Fran
cisco Montoya were indicted by the
grand jury in the district court for
Sierra county on the charge of at
tempting to kill Romalda Sedillo de
Chavez. native woman who admit
ted that she had bewitched the moth
er of Montoya. The alleged assault is
stated to have occurred April 25 on
ranch IA miles from Monticello,
where the alleged witch and her
daughter-in-law we're staying. 1t is
claimed that the defendants appeared
at 6 p. M, fired several shots with six
shooters to scare off the younger wo-
men, and then took the witch off in
the timber and gave her an unmerciful
drubbing. 1t is claimed the woman,
who admitted being a witch" had
been previously beaten for using the
black art upon various persons. It is
said that after Romalda confessed
that she had bewitched Mrs. Montoya,
she agreed to exercise the evil spir-
it's, but that instead of recovering MRS.
Montoya became worse until she is
now paralyzed and helpless.
