The Curious Japanese House

Japanese house hasn't a single
window. And it's only the most
stylish of them that have a pane OF
glass. A person who has a pane of
glass somewhere in his house sets the
social pace In the neighborhood In
stead of glass they have paper pasted
on sliding frames. and through the
paper the light filters. Naturally one
wonders how they keep the rain out
this is little trouble, for outside the
paper walls are series of wooden
doors which also slide back and forth.
When time comes TO retire. you
look around for bed but there isn't
one. In sight. 1t is rolled up in a
drawer. and the Japanese would not
know a hedstead from a quilting
frame. Millions of people In Japan
have grown to manhood. voted, paid
taxes and gone 70 their reward with

American bedstead. To make the bed
ready the servant opens the drawer
and unrolls the quilts on the floor.
putting tomato looking thing
under one end for a pillow. Then she
shuts all the paper windows and pulls
TO all the wooden slides so that not
breath of air can get in and the bed
Is ready. Money in the palm wouldn't
persuade Japanese to sleep with the
window open,
Their theory Is that during the day
the air becomes full Of dust and germs
so that If you keep your windows
sealed during the nlght none of the
germs can get in.

BARNES AND TAMMANY.

T'le New York State Constitutional
Convention has adopted provisions
for the short ballot for State officers
land for home rule In cities These
measures passed after strenuous de-
bates and received the votes Of every
member OF the convention except the
Tammany representatives, william
Barnes, Jr, and one friend OF Barnes
in the Republican membership, II
Theodore Roosevelt did not prove an
alliance with Tammany on the part Of
Barnes, Barnes has done IT in the
course of this convention.
The short ballot is a great advance
for the State Of New York. The home
rule principle for the cities will benefit
chiefly New York city, but also every
other city in the State. Just in pro-
portion that New York city benefits
Tammany Han will suffer, hence the
opposition Of t1e Tammany delegates
And Just in proportion as the State
at large will benefit by tho short bal
lot, Boss Barnes and his crowd win
suffer. 1t is easy 10 understand the
opposing votes,

English Bag German Spy With Fraud

VILE PLANS DISCLOSED

German officials Exposed.

London. Sept. 4.--The recent arrest
of German spy from the United States
armed with forged American pass
port has convinced the authorities that
there is German agency in the United
States where American seals for pass
ports are fabricated.
The passport, which the latest pris-
oner carried, bore date of March, 1915.
and was presented by him upon his
landing in England. 1t was identical
in printing and watermark with the
famous Roland passport about which
the Suns correspondent already has
told. Under a glass 1t is. evident that
various dots etc. are reproduced. az in
the Roland passport, and the authori~
ties believe that IL was printed from
the same Photographic plate and then
shipped to New York where a new
seal was printed upon 1t.
A photograph for the use of spies
despatched from the United states Civ
ing the seals Impressed upon forged
continental passports and those
stamped in the United States quickly
showed these differences TO the sharp
eyed experts In the frst in the shape

mouth and legs the shape Of the shield
and the formation of the letters.
The authorities are endeavoring to
ascertain the location OF the agency In
New York. where the seals are manu-
featured but the latest prisoner at
present is reticent.
The Suns correspondent learns that
the documents captured. in addition 10
the fermentation of strikes and other
activities an account of which has al
ready been cabled disclose efforts to
obtain possession OF gunpowder and
nunition factories. 1t is safe 10 say
that never have such frank confessions
on the part OF the officials OF one gov
eminent fallen into the hands of an
enemy. The Importance of the dis
covery of the documents to the United
States cannot be estimated, and
whatever doubt Washington may have
OF newspaper revelations OF the un-
neutrality of German officials in the
United states, the present documents,
which have been cabled textually and
of which Photographic reproductions are
being forwarded. cannot be questioned.
The documents not only prove that the
spy was knowingly unneutral, but that
he was acting traitorously to his own
country. Efforts are now being made

NONsUPPORT
LAW HAD BEEN REPEALED.

Judge J. NJ. Gregory, defending John
W. Berry, yesterday in Police Court
Fart II, where the defendant was sum-
moned to answer a charge of failing
TO provide for his wife, made the fol.
lowing statement: II take occasion
to warn the court that any officer who
undertakes to enforce your honor's de-
cision viii lay the city liable to- prose-
cution."
Judge Gregory contended that judy
ment had been given according to sec
ton of the Virginia Code of 1904. which
section has since been repealed by the
tegisla ture. Bergman had been In
structed by the court before to pay
81 weekly to his wife.
Because of unemployment Bergman
said he could not properly support
his wife. He was accidentally shot by
his son. David Bergman. some time ago
and gave this as one of the reasons
for his inability to secure work.

THE VOTERS SHOULD VOTE

Arguments against allowing" or
'prrrnitting' the voters OF Riaam ond
to elect their own Commonwealth's
attorney destroy themselves.
In che breath We are told that II will
set lad precedent II the committee
allows al candidates to run on an
equal footing In the primary, that
there Is very grave danger OF Re-
publican running IN ahead OF ali the
Democratic nominees tthis IN city
that sas never elected a Republican
Officer or given a Republican ma jority
hardly scattering minority. Finally.
as q sort Of trump card we are quereI-
ouslv asked if we can't trust the com
nstsee' 10 he the people and do what
the people would do better than they
would 40 il Themselves.
This is one tack. The other line Of
argument destroys 1t. The second plea
Is that after ali there IS no danger Of
tbs eommittee's nominee being defeat
ed In the election. That no indie
penaent or Republican would have
ghost III IA show. That 4, is only barely
Epoessbie there will DO any opposition.
