Nathaniel Simpson, Windsor, Aged
OF, Contemplates 20 Mile Walk.

Among the visitors. Wednesday. was
Nathaniel Simpson, who was for the
day the guest of his niece, Mrs. $
T. jameson of 10 Maple street. Mr..
Simpson is one of the well-known
citizens Of South Windsor, and enjoys
the reputation of being one of the
Youngest old men in the place. He is
az years of age. as the year are count
ed. but rs far as appearances and
activity go, he is not within hailing

which he prides himself is his ability
in the line of pedestrianism and he
frequently takes little jaunts just to
keep himself in training. On the last
day of August he walked seven miles,
and now he is planning to walk, some
day before the Windsor fair a dis
lance of 20 miles. He is looking for

ARIZONA STARTS TROUBLE
Proposes to Amend Her Anti
Alien Land Statute.

Phoenix. April 2,-The Judiciary Com
mittee OF the Assembly was instructed
to-day TO draft amendments TO Arizona =
anti-alen ownership law. enacted last
year. and situation similar to that in
California is forecast by expressions OF
opinion on the floor. Those favoring the
amendment Of the law IN such manner
as to make it's provisions apply only to
aliens ineligible for citizenship in the
United States apparently were in the ma
jorlty.
The present law prohibiting ownership
OF land in Arizona by any alien has
aroused vigorous protest among wealthy
MeXicans in the state. Their attention
was directed to IL by the California sit
uatIon The matter was taken up in the
lower house to-day and those who desired
the rigid enforcement Of the present law
were outvoted The amendment desired
would exempt foreigners who have already
established property rights in the state
from the prohibitions OF the law. and
legislators were of the opinion that the
inelisibility clause also would be inserted.

Killed Son on His Knee.

Hardly had the pair returned to the
bodroom however. when the shots
rang out. From the position OF the
bodies the police judged that the father

the fatal shot at close range. Inc

in the lads temple. and the surround
ing skin was black with powder.
The e-chambered revolver found
on the boys body was empty. The

and the bedclothes evidenced another.
Apparently the fathers aim was too
unsteady after shooting his son to put
an end TO his own life in the same way.

SUGGESTED BRYAN TRIP
Japan Society Says 1t Advised
Mission Weeks Ago.

The japan Society of New York sent
telegram TO President Wilson last night
rusine him 10 do everything in his power
10 bring about a just settlement of the
disptue concerning California's alien land
bills The telegram pointed out that the
treaty obligations and commercial rela-
lions between the two countries would oe
strained TO the breaking point II the DIS
eliminating legislation went. through. and
the operations Of American missionaries
throughout the orient would be adversely
affected.
Lindsay Russell president of the SO
.iety. said a representative Of his organ
ization had suggested TO President Will
son that he send Secretary Bryan 10 Sac
ramento q week ago, but had met with
little encouragement. He was glad to see
that the President had at last acted on
the societys suggestion he said, since 1t
meant treating the matter with the dig
nifty and seriousness which ii deserved
and might serve to ward off hasty legis-
lation.
The situation. Mr.. Russell explained,
was practically the reverse of one which
Japan faced with q great deal more
grace about five years ago. AT that time
IL was proposed by the japanese govern
rnent 10 tax the lands held by foreigners.
which for many years had been consid
cred part of the countries TO which the
foreigners holding them belonged. as en-
bassies are the world over. Japan, how
ever. held that she had the right TO levy
taxes under recent treaty. which ran:
The several foreign settlements in
Japan shall. from the date this treaty
comes into force, be incorporated with
the respective Japanese communes, and
shall thenceforth form part Of the gem
eral municipal system of Japan. When
such incorporation takes place, existing
leases in perpetuity upon which property
is now held in the said settlements shall
be confirmed, and no conditions whatever,
other than those contained in such ex-
isting leases, shall be imposed In respect
OF such property"
When the foreigners protested. Mr.. Rus
sell said, the japanese. instead Of enact
INK some such legislation as California
was trying to DO now, voluntarily SUBJ
mitted the question TO the Hague Tri-
bunal. II happened that the peace court
ruled against them, on the strength of
the last phrase quoted from the treaty.
and Japan submitted without murmur.
The danger Of an open break between
Japan and the United States is wholly
negligible, in the estimation OF X. Saito,
Acting Consul General OF the Cherry
Blossom Kingdom in this city. People OF
/ nf ALLEGIANCE in Japan and all the jap
anese in this country realize that the
trouble is local in significance. and in no
way represents the attitude of this coun-
try toward his own. Mr.. Saito said yes
