NEW YORK HAS A BIG HEART
Tired Visitor, Asleep on Bryant Park
Bench, Acquired a Hatful
of Pennies.

New York is certainly charitable
town. Never saw anything like it."
The enthusiastic visitor Strengthened
an expensive silk tie and drew on a
glove as he exclaimed:
81 am only in town for few days,
staying at a Broadway hotel The
other morning l rose late and after
breakfast sauntered over to Bryant
park. | had been out late the night
before-a theatre and a Broadway
dance club afterward, and felt rather
tired. / debated between a taxi ride
through Central park to freshen up or
sitting down in the square, and finally
selected an empty bench.
81 sat there enjoying the odor which
was beginning to show In the grass and
trees, and, the air being very mild, |
fell asleep. Nothing remarkable about
that, although it was a bit public, with
the crowd cutting past toward Forty
second street I must have leaned
back on the bench and dropped my
hat. At any rate 1 slept for perhaps
twenty minutes.
"When / woke up I found myself
sprawled pretty awkwardly over the
bench and without my hat. l soon
found the hat. It had fallen forward
and lay directly in front Of me on the
pavement. said New York was char
table. My experience certainly proves
it. AS I slept there bareheaded must
have aroused lot Of sympathy. The
bottom Of my hat was covered with
pennies"

cRuskin treated Lady Millais when
she was Mrs. Rushin abominably. He

WALTER F. GEORGE
VICTOR, TUESDAY IN
SENATORIAL RACE
This County Gives Him
l18 Votes out of
20S Cast.

The victory Of Judge Walter
F. George, of Vienna, in Tues
days primary for the United
States Senatorship was over
whelming and complete, as at
tested by detailed reports that
were early Wednesday received
from throughout the state, and
which gave him 318 county unit
votes to Hardwick's "A and
Wrights %.
Latest returns, supposed to be
perfectly authentic, show that
George carried 1926 counties,
Hardwick carried 81 counties,
Wright carried Z counties and
Jno, II. Cooper carried none.
The convention for nomination,
which meets on October 28th,
requires a unit vote Of 208,
which gives George a spare unit
vote Of ITO above this required
number,
The vote throughout the state
was extremely light, probably
the lightest cast in a like election
for many years, and will likely
not total above 100000. This
was due to inclement weather,
lack of interest on the part of
many voters and to the fact that
Mounds were available for hold
ing elections. In the primary
that was held for the state Offices
on September 18th, 214,000 votes
were cast for some of the un-
opposed candidates.

JAPANESE ARE URGED TO REAR AMERICAN BORN CHILDREN FOR
 GOOD AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP

HILO. Island of Hawaii, T. H., Feb. have been admonished to rear their American-born children as good American citizens, 'even to the point of instructing them that they must fight for their native land, America, against the land of their ancestors. Japan," by NJ. Zumoto, editor of the Herald of Asia who is staying here
 several days on his way back from the international conferences at Washington, according to an address he delivered today before an as. semblage of plantation managers and business men.
 'I find Japanese here are very well with their lot, with the treatment they receive and with the cordial attitude and friendly ways always extended to them by their white neighbors," Mir. Zumoto said. Among other things I have tried to impress upon the Japanese people, who are Japanese subjects, and un der the existing laws cannot very well expect to be admitted as Ameri. cans. that they are Japanese sub jects and would probably die Japa. nese subjects; that circumstances had located them on this island for good. They have found themselves rooted to the soil and whether they like it or not, most of them intend to stay.
 "As they are under protection of the American law and obtained d very good living under the hospital ity of the American government, they must consider themselves American in spirit, if not in fact, and identify themselves with the local interests of Hawaii. As for their children, who are already Amer ican citizens and who are being ta ken care of very well in the public schools. they should so bring them up at home as to give them every op- portunity and encouragement to be- come good and loyal citizens of the United States"
