The Japs are not keeping up their
end of the work in the war. They
seems to be loafing on the job and
apparently intend to postpone the
capture of that little German col
ony in China until they see some
signs of the end in Europe. They
have no quarrel with Germany and
are simply discharging treaty OBJ
legation with Great Britain in max
ing war on that country. What they
have to gain by success is not APP

a quid pro quo for every service he
renders.

HENRY w. DAY GRANTED
A CONDITIONAL PARDON
Many Signers to Petition-Is Man
Who Killed Wrenn at Station
Several Years AGO

Henry W. Day, former driver of
U. S. mail wagon, who killed A.
B. Wrenn and who was sentenced
to life Imprisonment for it, has been
granted a conditional pardon and is
now back in the city. The case was
favorably passed on by the Board of
Pardons in Tallahassee on Oct. Il,
the pardon taking effect Oct. Is,
and being conditional on Day lead
ing a peaceable, sober and law
abiding life in future. Petitions
were presented signed by many
prominent citizens and officials in
Guiding jurors, and it is alleged
that some citizens who several
years ago refused to sign such Pc
titions have since written the board
asking that Day be pardoned and
declaring they believed he had been
punished enough. The board took
into consideration the fact that
Days conduct as prisoner has
been good and that he Is said to
have been broken down in health
by his Imprisonment.
The killing of Wrenn by Day was
an unusually atrocious crime, Day
having produced a knife and cut
his victim to pieces. The murder
occurred at the old Atlantic Coast
Line station about eight years ago.
There had been a dispute of long
standing between Day, who drove
a mail wagon, and Wrenn, who
drove an express wagon, as to which
should have the preference in first
driving up to trains Tampa Tri-
bune.

pointed out under nine heads, one

tee adds:
Though we claim to be a demo-
cratic government, our statutes are
addressed to lawyers and not to the

publishd in cheap, popular and han

ordinary sense of legality of the
German people is not entirely an
connected with the intelligibility of
their laws"
The committee on taxation also
submitted a report on the involved
and confused form of the income tax
law, and recommended it's revision,
as follows:
apart from specific defects the
structure and language of the art
as whole is open to the gravest
objections. A revision of the law
should therefore extend to its form
as well as to it's substance. The en-
tire act should be reconstructed,
and there should be placed upon the
statute book an income tax law so
arranged and expressed DIS to be

And the Better Protection of Horees

Radiun has been discovered vastly
to improve lightning rods in their pro-
lection OF buildings during thunder

of radium prevents any practical use

ments will show that tiny quantity
of radium at reasonable cost will i'm
prove the protection.
The purpose of lightning rods, OF
course. is to catch the electrical cur
rents in the air during storm and
/ lead them safely into the ground in
stead of allowing the lightning to pick
its own course down through house
or church steeple. and their use is
based on the principle that Il metal rod

made to do the trick if the electrical

to lead electricity through the air to
the rod. Radium will do this part of

scientific experiments. Two milli-
