PREFERS DEATH TO
BECOMING BLIND

Displaying the remarkable stoicism
of the Oriental, Ken Kobayashi, aged
27, a japanese farmer near Westmor-
land, fearing he was to become totally
blind, killed himself Thursday night
by choking himself to death as he lay
on his bed.
The act was evidently committed
after careful planning and Kobayashi
must have worked until late at night,
writing letters to friends and business
acquaintances and telling them that he
did not wish to live in helpless con
dition.
Yesterday morning, neighbors found
the body and Informed the authorities.
Investigation showed that Kobayashi
had gone to bed and tied u stout cord
around his neck in double slip knot
which he pulled tight and lay there
waiting for death. SO unusual was the
manner of the suicide that officers who
were called thought at first there had
been a murder, but discovery of the
letters proved the act was self inflicted.
Kobayashi was well spoken of by
members of the japanese colony in
Westmorland where he was known as
Il quiet and industrious worker.

BOYS WHO MURDER
BIRDS GET WARNING

Frank Reading, county humane Off
Ger, issues the following warning to-
day:
"By observation as well as by sew
eral complaints L find boys are killing
birds and destroying their nests. A
few years ago we did not have any Of
our songsters here and now L am
pleased to say we have them nesting
in our trees and singing as birds only
can. There is a state law protecting
all birds except the game varieties.
"These boys will have to stop this
crime or they will be in trouble. They
have craze now for the old fashioned
bean-snapper, or sling shot as well as
the air gun and the poor little birds
are their prey. I hope every parent
will talk to their boy or h0ys and ask
them to protect the birds instead Of
destroying them and their nests.
"We have also had complaints that
some owners of large dogs take delight
in sicAing them on eats and kittens
and seeing them chewed up and killed.
Such dogs are deemed by law to be
vicious and can be killed and the own
ers arrested and fined. 1 have taken
these matters up with our judges and
will surely try and stop such treat
ment and slaughter.

NARROW PATH NOW
BAPTIST BOULEVARD

INDIANAPOLIS, June II. - The
straight and narrow path of righteous
ness was wider today. Modern relig-
ion has made it boulevard.
The rise Of progressive interpreta-
tion of the battle in the northern Bap-
tist convention here permits every
Baptist to form his own creed.
"The only requirement is that he ac-
cept the teachings Of the New Testa-
ment" said s. T. Barrett, of Rochester,
N. Y.
"Ultra conservatives lost their fight
to force through a confession of faith.
"YOu might as we'll close all your
Sunday schools, you might as well stop
all your preachers, you might as we'll
close your theological seminaries, you
might as well stop the program of the
missionaries and devote all your pro-
motion money to printing and distrib-
uting the New Testament" said DR..
J. G. Massee, leader of the "hard
Shells when the liberals won.
