TRAGEDY
IN JAPAN
German Officer, Held Pri-
soner, Took Own Life
After Wife's Murder.
(By Associated Press. }

Toxic. April Japanese authori-
ties assert that there is no evidence
that the recent murder of Mrs. Irma
Won Saldern, daughter of Vice Admiral
Eduard Won Capelle. the German
minister of navy, was an act of venge-
ance upon the German naval chief,
and that the murder was committed
undoubtedly by Japanese burglar.
The fact that the crime occurred at a
time when Germany's unrestricted
submarine warfare was holding world
interest. the authorities declare, was
merely coincidence. Nevertheless,
the tragedy is widely discussed in
diplomatic circles.
Irma Won Saldern was a beautiful
woman of % years who passed her
time in seclusion near the German
prisoners camp at Fukuoka, the
southernmost Island Of Kyushu. Her
husband, Captain Siegfried Won Sal
dern. was one of the most prominent
German officers taken prisoner by the
Japanese at the surrender Of the Ger
man fortress at Tsing-tau.
Won Saldern was member of a
well known German family with q seat
at Dessau and his marriage with the
daughter of the German minister was
a happy one. In China, Captain Won
Saldern was an intimate friend Of
Governor Won Waldeck. the command
er Of Tsing-tau fortress. After the
capitulation Mrs. Won Saldern, with
her two children, followed her hus-

band to Japan and rented a fashion
able Japanese house near the COM
pound in which her husband was an
officer prisoner.
There she lived quietly, rarely leav-
ing her children except to visit her
husband and some of his officer friends
during their illness. A few weeks ago
she suggested that she leave Japan
with one of her boys. to further his
education and try to return to Ger
many. Her husband urged her to re-
main. She consented.
One morning. when domestic
entered, she found her mistress
stretched upon the floor of bedroom
lifeless. An electric cord bound tight
ly about her neck showed that she had
been strangled to death. The police
reconstructed the crime in this way:
The assassin entered armed with a
poignard or short electric wire or cord
which connected the lamp with a
wall fixture and. making a moose,
choked the woman to death. There
were evidences that burglary was
committed.
The next act of the tragedy came
three days later, twenty four hours
after the funeral of Mrs. Won Saldern.
Captain Won Saldern was inconsolable.
The fact that he had urged his wife
apparently he did not forgive himself.
About the hour of his wife's murder,
he detached from the wall of his house
an electric corn similar to that with
which she was strangled, fixed it to
the chandelier in his salon and COM
mitted suicide by hanging.
The press maintains silence concern
ing the tragedy. The police are maxi
ing ever effort to discover the murder

MEXICO TO BUILD
MORE RAILWAYS
(Bv Associated Press.)

Mexico City, April Rapid and i'm
mediate extension of railroads in Mex
leo is projected by the department of
communications and public works in
conjunction with the various state gov
ernments. Arrangements already have
been begun to complete the line from
Santa LucIetia, on the ISthmus of
Tehuantepec line, to Merida, Yucatan.
This line when completed will form
the connecting link in the north and
south route from Siudad JuareZ, on
the American border to Merida. 1t
will run through San Juan Bautista in
Tabasco and Campeche. The state or
Yucatan, one of the most prosperous
in the republic will finance the new
line in conjunction with various cleo
trio lines connecting with it. This
right of way formerly was controlled
by concession to foreign capital, but
the concession was declared forfeited
because the holders failed to complete
the work according to it's terms.
Another projected line will connect
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts or
Mexico traversing the country from
east TO west from Tampico. the main
Atlantic oil port, to San Bias, state
of Nayrit, formerly the territory of
Topic. This route will link up Aguas
Calientes. Zacatecas and other impor-
ern Pacific of Mexico which now has
extended its line from Nogales to Com
postela a short distance south of the
city of Topic.
Notice has been given by the depart
ment of communications to the South
ern Pacific company that it must con-
tinue its line from Compostela to
Guadalajara, according to its conces-
sion and begin this work of construc-
ton at once, or the concession under
which the company operates in Mex
leo will be declared void. The distance
involved is not great. but construction
involves several complicated engineer
ing problems, including two long tun-
nels through the mountains. The or
iginal concession provides for a bonus
of 1880 pesos per kilometer (about
three fifths of mile) from the govern
ment to the company for construction
of this line. The department of COM
munications I'm it's warning to the
Southern Pacific company declares the
government will offer every aid in the
building of the line including financial
assistance and expediting of supplies.

COST HAS NOT INCREASED.

In these days OF increases in the
price of everything, 1t is gratifying to
note that the genuine F'oley's Honey
and Tar sells at the same price as in
previous years. This reliable family
medicine is considered as necessary
as food or clothing by thousands of
persons. When one estimates the
great loss to the family income sickA
ness can cause, 1t is almost impos-
sible to compute the true worth of this
splendid household remedy. Foley's

MEXICAN HALL
OF LEGISLATURE
TO Be SIMPLIFIED

Mexico City. April 7.-Plans are now
under consideration for simplifying
and cutting down the plans of the new
Legislative Palace. Work on this great
building which is intended to house
the Mexican congress and which, as
projected. would have been the largest
legislative building in the world was
begun under President Diaz. The steel
framework of the building was COM
pleted. but no work has been done on
the building since 1910. 1t is esti-
mated that it would cost $4,000, 900
to complete the building under the
original plans and it is proposed to
simplify these plans and utilize the
work already done to form part of a
less pretentious structure. ...

way in this country to study foreign
languages. The school opened by the
king is the first OF it's kind in the
British empire which counts 800, 900, 900
citizens speaking oriental languages.
One of the lessons taught this coun-

The British people have learned

The Nash PLant-7he Nash Policy
What They Mean to You

The success company achieves in the
marketing of motor cars and trucks,
its permanent value to the public and
to automobile dealers is measured pri-
marily by its ability to manufacture a
good product in large quantities.
1t is upon this conviction that the policy
OF Nash Motors Company is founded.
Only superior value builds big sue
cess, and only quantity production on
an efficient basis makes superior value
possible.
Obviously company which -,
buys its raw materials in large Il
quantities, and whose plant is
sufficiently large and properly
equipped to manufacture those Thi.
materials into finished pro- stre'
duct, is buying cheaper and c uon'
building at less cost than the Off
average. Thus it can give as 70
better value than the average. $l43
