Toxic, Jan. 29.-The japanese an
government concerning the recent kill
ing of Lieut.. Warren II. I.angdon in
Nladivostok has been forwarded Ia
Washington.
According 10 information available
here, the reply does not discuss the
question of Japanese occupation of
Siberia. 1t reterates the regret of the
government over the shooting of Lieu
tenant LangdOn, which has already
been voiced by it's official representa-
tives in Nladivostok and Washington
and calls attention 10 the measures
already adopted to prevent the recur-
renee of such an unfortunate incident.
The communication emphasizes the
completeness and impartality of the
Investigation into the shooting now In
progress, which il says will he fol-
lowed by such reparatiOn as the cir
cumstances call for.
Although the shooting of Lieutenant
Langdon was an outgrowth of the
presence of japanese troops in Vladi-
vostok, the Japanese apparently think
il should be treated as a separate and
distinct question, not connected with
Japan's policy with regard to Russia
The authorities denied the state
ment published by the Asahi Shimbun
to the effect that the police had de-
cided to show greater surveillance
over American visitors, who, the news
paper asserted, were "busily engaged
in investigating industrial and military
conditions"
American visitors, the authorities
declared, were welcome in Japan and
would not be molested.

Gently made at Ebersbach to kidnap

that the ear be halted
Bergdoll brushed the weapon aside,
by which time his car was well under
way. The ear with the five men took
up the pursuit. Several shots were
fired at the bridal party, II is alleged
and one member was wounded.
Police arrested the pursuers, who
had arrived from Speyer (Spres) for
the purpose, il is said, of seizing the
two Americans and transporting them

was in charge of two officials from the
American army of occupation who
were accompanied by four German de-
teciives
The Americans gave the names of
Carl Neaf and Franz thinner. These
two are supposed TO be American de- |

Small PIX bnd Vaccination

vaccination 1t was brought to

dUuS loss of life. In Mexico,
3,5O0,0O0 persons died Of the
disease, and in this country
100000 Indians succumbed. In
England, before the use of
vaccination was adopted. per
son in every 10 died Of small
poX' and in every , had pocE
marks on his face. Practically
every body had the disease. In
Boston, i'm 1852, there were only
Ia persons who had not had
small poX.
Vaccination was really Giscov-
cred by the farmers in the dairy
district of England, who had
noticed an eruptive disease of
cows which was sometimes CON
tracted by the mixers and
others who handled the cows.
They also observed the very
important fact that those per.
sons who took the cow-poX did
not take smallpox, although
practically every o"e else in the
community did. A farmer
named Benjamin Jesty finally
, inoculated his wife and two sons
successfully. Soon after this
Dr.. Edward Jenner took up the
study of vaccination, and in 1896
proved that it was an efficient
preventive of smallpox and
never fatal. 1t protects in the

principles that oIe attack of an
eruptive disease attacks against
another.
