Japanese Boy Hangs
Self Once Too
Otter
BY international News Service.

TOKYO, July 6.-Benji Hara,
seventeen, gave his neighbors
many a thrill with his impish
trick of hanging himself.
Watch me hang myself" he
would shout as he mounted an
improvised scaffold, thrust his
head through a moose and kicked
away the stool. His body would
drop, the moose would tighten,
but suddenly the rope would
part and he would emerge,
smiling and bowling to the
breathless spectators.
One day the rope did not
part. Benji's frenzied fingers
tore at the nose and his body
squirmed and twisted. (His
friends thought this was Just
q little extra stuff.
As Benji's struggles grew
feebler they rushed to his aid,
but it was too late. The un-
faithful knot that failed to slip
had strangled the life from his.

LONDON. July 6.-Japan and
America at swords points as the
result of the desire of the United
States for conference to consider
abolition Of extraterritorial rights in
China was the menacing vista
brought up today by the conserva-
tive newspaper, the Daily Tele-
graph.
"By making this demand at this
hazardous moment the United States
will assuredly be regarded as hav'
ing at last thrown down the glove
the Telegraph said.
The newspaper held that japanese
interests would suffer most If the
United States insisted on immediate
modification of extraterriorial rights
in China.
These interests would be so
patiently menaced," said the Tele-
graph, that pacific as are her
present intentions, Tokyo would be
persuaded by the mere instinct of
MISREPRESENTATION to take immediate
action"
