Youthful Minstrel at School Show
Got of One Good and Orig
lnal Joke.

1t is customary in many of the New
York schools to give entertainments
on the last day before the pupils dis
perse for the Christmas holidays.
Parents are invited to see and hear
their young hopefuls recite or take
part in special vaudeville stunts OF
fairy plays devised by the teachers.
One teacher who found herself
blessed-or otherwise-with a room
full of unruly boys when school began
in the autumn hit upon a happy idea.
She promised the boys that If they
we're good they might have minstrel
show just before the holidays. All
through the term the teacher kept
this prospect before them, promising
the particularly noisy youths good
parts If they would keep their deport-
ment up to a fair standard. The
promise had the desired effect, the
boys we're reasonably manageable.

According to the new German military
laws for the increase of the army, about
5000 young Swiss residing in AlsaceLor-
raine have been warned that they must
accept military service under the German
flag or leave the country.
Since Alsace-Lorraine became Ger
man. province the Swiss families r,si'iing
there have been exempted from serving
in the army by a special arrangement
between Switzerland and Germany: nei-
Their were their sons called to the Swiss
colors. and. therefore. they did no mill
tary service at all. This ancient agree
ment has recently been modified. and the
Swiss young men residing in Alsace-Lor-
raine will now be obliged to "legalize
their situation. and serve either in the
German or Swiss army. or. n brief. be-
come German or Swiss citizens. The ma
jority. it Is thought, will return to Swift

CAPT. J. NJ. RICHARDSON FREED
Nothing in Evidence to Sustain q
Charge Of Arson Against Him.

Aiken, May 21.-At a preliminary
hearing, which began yesterday
morning and lasted practically all
day, before Magistrate Smoak, Capt.
]. M. Richardson, well known citi-
zen of this place, who was arrested
last Friday on a charge of arson and
lodged in the county jail, was dis
charged and the charges against him
dismissed.
Capt. Richardson was charged lit
orally with destroying his own prop
erty in order that he might collect
the small sum of 5000 for which it
was insured. The warrant had been
issued at the instigation of Insur-
ance Commissioner McMaster's dep
uty, B, A. Wharton.
Solicitor Robert l.. Gunter was
present in behalf OF the State dur
ing the preliminary, while the de-
fendant had as his counsel Col. C. e.
Sawyer and Croft & Croft. The
hearing was tedious one. After
all of the testimony was in it became
quite clear that there was nothing
whatsoever to substantiate the seri-
Gus charges preferred against
man OF Capt. Richardson's promi-
nence. AS matter of fact, no part
OF the entire testimony tended in
the slightest degree to connect in
anywise Capt. Richardson with the
alleged incendiarism.

In this bundle were found auto
matte revolyers,. a full kit OF safe
blowing implements and bottle
containing a liquid. This liquid la
ter proved to be nitroglycerine, or
soup Interrogated by detectives,
the young woman testified that the
bundle was given to her by Gray,
who requested her to keep it hidden
in safe place. Gray added, Mrs.
White said, to handle the bottle
with the greatest care, as it's con-
tents were dangerous. When she
learned Of the arrest of her friends,
and fearing that she might be com
promised should the suspicious look
ing package be found in her possess
sion, she sought to rid herself Of it
by depositing it in the trash box.
She said there was no possible doubt
as to Gray having given her the
bundle, and this statement was
readily corroborated by other wit
neSses.
On the strength of this new found
and important evidence, Gray, or
"Johnny,' was held under $1,000
bail on the charge of having burglar
tools in his possession and he was
taken back to the Tombs, where he
still occupies a cell.
Upon learning of the strange turn

A dispatch from Spartanburg,
May 21st, says:
G. N. Nichols, his wife, two-year-
old daughter and nursing baby were
riding in buggy Sunday afternoon
on their way home to Fairmont from
this city when the horses took fright
and ran away. AS the horse turned
sharply to one side OF the road Mr.
Nichols was thrown out. The two
year-old child next fell out of the
side Of the lurching buggy and the
horse darted across a cotton field,
where the baby was deposited. About
half mile further down the road
the horse ran the buggy against a
tree and Mrs. Nichols was thrown
out and painfully but not seriously
injured. The mother, father and
two-year-old child scrambled to
their feet and eventually met. In a
perfect tremor of apprehension they
then started to find tho baby. In the
cotton patch, sitting up on a tiny
hillside, Growing and cooling, the lit
tie mite was found-a picture of
happiness.

OUR ANSWER UNSATISFACTORY
Ambassador Chinda Urged to Press
Japanese Interpretation of Treaty.

Toxic May 22.-The United
States reply to the Japanese protest
in regard to the California alien
land ownership legislation in saying
that 1t does not involve any viola
tion of the treaty between the Uni
ted States and Japan, has caused
great disappointment in official and
other circles here.
The Japanese foreign office con-
siders it unsatisfactory, as it does
not mention any intention on the
part of the government at Washing
ton to take official steps to nullify
the California act. =.
The Japanese foreign minister Is
urging upon Viscount. Chinda, Japa-
nese ambassador at Washington, the
necessity of pressing the Japanese
Interpretation ofEthe American-Jap-
anese treaty.
Secretary Bryan's proposal to re-
fer the question to a referendum in
the State of California is not receiy-
ed with favor here, as the result is
considered doubtful.
The war talk, emanating from Eu-
rope and reaching here by cable, re-
garding the controversy between ia
pan and the United States on the
land ownership question, is not un-
derstood in official and other circles
here. The atmosphere Is calm and
great reserve is shown.
Some Of the newspapers, however,
have begun to speak out more freely.
The leading daily newspaper, the
Osaka Mainichi, finds amusement in
what it calls the American fear of
Japanese aggression. 1t says, "Ali
Japan wants for the Japanese is
equal treatment with white men.
Japan's progress has reached the
point where she will no longer con-
sent to discrimination being shown
against her SUBJECTS"
The general hope is expressed here
that the reply sent from Washington
is not Americas final word, espe-
cially as the United States govern
ment by it's intervention in Califor-
mia. inspired the belief here that it
would adopt strong measures in be-
salf Of the Japanese.
In fishing for compliments use
fresh bait.

New York, May 22.--Col. Theo-
Gore Roosevelt will, it was learned
to-day, leave for Arizona in the
near future to head search for a
lost" tribe of Indians. Plans foI
the trip are about completed and
the Colonel is displaying all the en-
thusiasm of boy over the prospect
1t was only when a friend called
upon the Sage of Sycamore Hill and
endeavOred to interest him in direct
primaries, referendum and the like
that his decision to "hit the trail
was made known. Mr.. Roosevelt
caught up 72-inch sleeping bag,
made for him by a well-known sport
ing goods house, and proceeded to
let the caller in on the secret. He
told OF his plans to live entirely in
the open, to hunt and ride while he
was engaged in the more serious
work Of historical research.
Col. Roosevelt has always been
known as a person who enjoyed his
tory and first-hand information-es-
pecially if he could dig up that in
formation himself. Since being
made head of the American Histori-
cal Society, his ambitions in this line
have been quickened. His determi-
nation to track that missing tribe Of
aborigines to their mysterious lair
was not, therefore, surprising to
those intimate with him.
While almost entirely wrapped up
in the plans for his coming trip, Col.
Roosevelt has been keeping himself
fully informed on the Japanese cri-
sis. When the California alien land
bill first came up he wrote to Gov
ernor Johnson, his personal friend,
urging him not to make any hasty
move which might complicate mat
ters. When President, almost ex-
actly the same situation faced him
that is now facing the present occu-
pant OF the White House.
The Colonel regards the situation
in the question between California
and Japan as serious, and one which
will call for the utmost diplomacy
and tact
