"SHINJU," OR A
DOUBLE SUICIDE.
IS CARRIED OUT

Toxic, April 13.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-Japanese
society is stirred by a case of "shin-
ju." or double suicide. affecting the
family of Count Akimasa Yoshikawa,
vice president Of the privy council.
His daughter. Mrs. Kkanji Yoshikawa
and Rikisuke Kuramochi, her chauf-
fuer. are alleged to have sought death
i'll the path of a railroad train.
The chauffeur threw the woman on
the tracks, but evidently lacked time
to carry out his intention of following
her. Instead he drew a short sword,
slashed his throat and died a few
moments later. Mrs. Yoshikawa was
tossed from the rails by the engine.
Her condition was pronunced critical.
The husband of Mrs. Yoshikawa
had been adopted to the Yoshikawa
family. becoming the heir to the
count.
A case Of "shinju" is not unusual in
Japan and since the olden days many
fanciful love stories have been woven
around this Japanese practice. It is
extraordinary, however, for a woman
OF as high birth as Count Yoshikawa's
daughter to choose to end her life in
such a fashion. The fact that the
woman was married and that she
sought death with her chauffeur
heightens the interests Of the affair
in Japanese minds,

rise OF DUTCH
MINISTER FAST
William Frederik Treub, the
Strong Man" in the Dutch
Cabinet, is Very Marked.

The Hague. Netherlands. April 10.
-(Correspondence of the Associated
DISQUALIFICATION Of a seat in the
cabinet following an adverse vote in
parliament, and reappointment to the
same post in the same ministry twelve
months later are dramatic features Of
h past twelve months caree Of
Treub. earlier termed the STRONG
man" OF the Netherlands government,
who a just taken the oath before
h queen as the new minister of A.
nance.
Minister of agriculture, commerce
and industry when war began. Mr..
Treub was soon given the more re-
sponsible portfolio Of finance, in
which capacity he had charge Of some
administrative measures taken in Hol-
land In these critical var times. But
in February 1916 he resigned his post
as the result Of a seemingly trivial
dispute.
DR.. Anton a Gym succeeded him,
and more or less took over his pro-
gram, holding the reins with able
hand. Two or three months ago DR..
van Gym got into conflict with the
right majority in the first chamber
and resigned. Mr.. Treub has been
called to be his successor and to take
up the financial reins again.
1t transpires that the retiring min
lister. DR.. a Gym, seriously doubted
the economic soundness and wisdom
OF continuing a system whereby h
prime necessities of life are placed on
sale to the general public below the
present high and rising prices, at the
expense of the national and local
exchequers, in view of the prospect of
vast and almost unlimited expendi-
ture being so incurred in the current
year.. estimated at anything between
$40.o00.00O and $40. 900. 900.
The exact reasons underlying the
most unusual. ii not unprecedented
step in constitutional procedure in the
reappointment of Mr.. Treuh can only
be guessed at. According to one YER
sion. he was invited to return at the
queens w express wish, In prefer

felt when peace has come, as in case
of a big German foreign loan, while
he suggests that. II Germany does her
worst, the United States might after
the war Join in giving preference to
the industries of the entente countries
to the prejudice of the central pow
ers. II consider the latest German
measure the beginning Of the end" is
another of his declarations.
Despite the increase of Hollands
national debt by SO per cent in two
and a half years, the new finance
minister is convinced Of his ability,
by means of fresh taxes, to find the
means needed to v all loans re-
Quired.

AUSTRIA AND !.
BULCARIAARE
WEARY OF WAR
No Immediate Peace Steps
Expected to Result,
However.

Washington. April 12.-Austrian
and Bulgarian representatives are en-
deavOring to approach entente diplo-
mats in Switzerland on the subject of
a separate peace.
Press dispatches today developed
the fact that it is known here not
only that Bulgaria has taken sound
similar action in the name Of Aus
tria-Hungary. Whether the two
countries are working separately or
together is not known.
Officials here see in the Austrian
and Bulgarian action merely an ex-
preston of WEAKNESS with the war
and anxiety to bring it to an end
cation of desperation which would
make them propose terms acceptable
to the entente. AS a result there is
every evidence that the informal eff
forts now being made may mark
merely: a step in the long road that
will eventually lead to peace, and
do not offer hope of real negotiations
in the near future.
Want Particulars.
This opinion is strengthened by the
fact that the entente diplomats have
not accepted suggestions for private
conversations. but have indicated that
they will not go into any such dis
cussion blindfolded. They have left
the impression that they stand on
the general principles hat the en-
tente nations will not enter a peace
conference until their enemies have
made public their terms.
1ndependent soundings by Austria
and Bulgaria. even If entirely tenta-
tive. have attracted interest here,
however, as showing the dissatisfac-
ton of those w governments with
the course Of the war and their ap-
parent anxiety to negotiate directly
and not through the medium of Ger
many. AS both these countries are
reported to he more eager for peace
than their more powerful ally, some
hope Is felt that their e~xigencies may
force Germany to a more moderate
stand and brine the day of ultimate
peace nearer.
Growing Desire.
The recent public statement Of
Count Czernin, Austrian minister of
foreign affairs. that the Central pow
ers still stood ready for conference,
and the widespread comment upon it
in the press were interpreted here
to indicate a growing desire for peace
in h central empires. Similar
statements by Bulgarian leaders
strengthened this viewpoint.
Food Shortage.
Austria is known to have been at
fected by war WEAKNESS and by the
Russian revolution. 1t is generally
felt there that the Central empires
have reached the maximum Of their
military strength. Inc it is feared
the upheaval across the border may
find a decided echo among Austria's
conglomerate and disaffected peo-
pies. Food conditions, though salts
factory in agrarian Hungary, are Sc
rious in industrial Austria. and the
enthusiasm among the people has
fallen off. Bulgaria likewise is
troubled with food shortage and the
Russian revolution. The latter has
brought again to the surface the old
friendliness for the Russian people
and has injected into the question
the decision of the ruling class to
fight against their liherator.
