Petrikov and LODI. Among. them
are very near relatives of the dead
millionaire. One of the chief heirs
is a rabbi, in Chortkow, Poland. In
Czenstochau there is one heir by
the name of ShloiTne Horowitz, a
baker, who claims to be a nephew
of the dead Horowitz."
The newspaper Lodzer Tageblatt
reports that all the claimants of
this fortune will convene this sum
mer, in Warsaw, and select dele
CATION to send to Chicago to at.
tempt collection Of the fortune.
Gold Is Mystery.
Another publication-the Gems
tochauer Arbeiter Zeitung-is the
authority for the statement that
one of. the Polish lawyers who is
busy with all the official formaIi-
ties and who is active in collecting
the $3.50 100000 for the Polish
heirs is the. famous lawyer Staw-
sky, in Warsaw.
The Lit declares: "It would be
necessary to take into consideration
that the $18O,000, 900 waiting for
the HoroWitz heirs is greater
sum that all the debts which the
Polish government owes to for
eign nations. The money would
improve the course of Polish cur
rency. The Polish government
should. therefore. become interest
ed and help the heirs to collect this
fortune, which has already waited
for them thirty-two years"
But where, in Chicago, rests those
crates of heavy, sparkling gold or
the lt-edged securities that the
frugal Horowitz accumulated but
could not take with him.

TOKYO, May 17.-Criticism for
the foreign missionaries who have
striven too fast" to introduce for
eign religion, foreign education and
foreign principles generally into the
life of the Japanese people formed
a prominent part of an interview
recently by Esunezo Morioka
Minister of Education.
Morioka's chief discussion was on
the subject of co-education In Japan,
but he took occasion to blame
foreign missionaries for their part
in examining" the young Japanese
mind with too many ideas now in
use in other countries.

co-education, but he expressed the
opinion that there was some douot
as to the wisdom of putting IL INTO
the Middle Schools for the uIhe

Customs and national traits OF
the japanese being vastly different
from those of the Americans, there
is1a difference in the way that for

the japanese Minister of Education
points out The Japanese mental
attitude, he said, has been such IN
the past that the people here nave
been over eager to adopt foreign
ideas and in the wholesale adoption
of such methods have failed to al.
gest them and make them a real
and vital part of their national LIE.
The chief reason for the SLOW
progress of Christianity in Japan
said Morioka. is the manner III
which the American missionary mas
introduced his belief It the Amerl'
can teacher really believes Chris
tianity to be the universal religion
that religion ought to be adapted
to the country and preached III a
way that is consistent with the
condition and circumstances OF the
country into which it is intro
duced. At the same time. he SAID
the Japanese people themselves
are partly to blame because they
laclv initiative to adjust and put
this religion into their daily life.
"Cramu1ing' the Japanese people
with foreign ideas, said the Minis
ter in conclusion, is one of the
chief methods of failure TO make
good. solid progress with modern
education here. Thinkers of ca
pacity are needed In Japan. he
said, and not people who are mere.
ly well informed. He predicted
that new methods OF education will
be introduced into the higher schools
in the very near future.
