QUAINT CHRISTIAN
WORKER IN JAPAN
Monument Is Unveiled at

BW United Press

BW Unffed Press
TOXIC, Dec 10.--A monument to
Francis Xavier, pioneer Christian
worker in Japan, was unveiled In
Yamaguchi recently in the presence
of the diplomatic body, the Papal
Nuncio and heads of Catholic insti-
tutions from throughout Japan. The
Belgian and italian ambassadors, the
ministers of Poland and Portugal and
Representatives of the German and
Spanish diplomatic organizations at.

Francis Xavier, a Spanish priest,
came to Japan almost four centuries
ago from Malacca. His guide was a
oa. They landed first in Satsuma
and after implanting the spirit of
Christianity there the missionaries
came to Yamaguchi.
Sanction Refused
After an audience with Feudal
Lord OUGHT Of the Ashikaga Shotgun
ate, Xavier went to Kyoto and APP
preached Gonnaro Tenno for sanction
for Christian work In Japan. He
failed and returned to Hirato in 1861,
resuming relations with Lord Ouchi.
who was known as a progressive and
already had opened up trade rela
tons with Korea. Ouchi gave for
NAL permission for Christian prop
uganda, and dedicated a temple to
the priest.
A story is told the feudal lords
consent finally was won by gifts of
clocks and eyeglasses, which Xavier
rendered at the crucial moment Of
the negotiations.
Baptized 5000
Xavier remained in Yamaguchi
nearly year, taught astronomy and
mathematics, and babtiZed some
5000 japanese. His fame spread and
he was invited to other Japanese feu
dial courts, winning all by his learn
ing and his piety. The priest finally
obtained passage back to India on
Portuguese vessel and died two years
later while on a voyage to China,
in his forty-seventh. year.
The early influences of Christianity
in Satsuma province still is indicated
by the crest Of the Satsuma family,
an encircled cross.
1t is related that Xavier's report
to Rome on conditions in Japan led
to the sending of many missionaries
chiefly Germans and Belgians.

FRENCH JURORS
DEWATED FROM
WOMAN PAYS
Girl Slayer of Two Tells
Story and Receives
AcquittaI.
BV DATED Press

PARIS, Dec. 10.-The woman usu-
ally pays. but a French jury turned
the tables on this principle when II
acquitted a 17-year-old farm girl on
a charge of murder. She had been
betrayed by her employer whom she
killed after the birth of her baby.
In September, 1925, Theresa Mare
chal sought work Of Arthur Houy,
wealthy married land owner near
Montargis. and before long an at.
tachment sprang up between them.
When at last the girl found she was
to have a child and told Houy of
her fears, he made a brutal comment
on her condition and told her that
in consequence she could do no more
work.
Subsequently, in February. 1926,
she married a young mason. In the
following June she gave birth to a
child which the husband refused to
recognize as his and he announced
his intention to seek divorce.
The girl then obtained an auto
matte pistol and went back to see
Houy, who was sitting with his fam
lily at the supper table when the girl
came in. Putting her child on the
floor she drew her automatic and
fired the eight shots which It oon-
tanned. Seven Of them went true.
Houy dropped dead with three OF the
bullets in his breastl Another shot
passed through the body Of the farm
er's son who died shortly after,
another struck the kitchen maid
and yet two more penetrated the
arm of the farmers wife.
The girl told her story very simply
to the jury and it was confirmed by
witnesses. Her counsel pleaded that
it was unfair that the woman should
always pay, and the jury, after a
brief elaboration, freed the girl.
