No more romantic chapter in the

the gift by the City OF Tokyo to
the city of Washington in 1911 of

an effort was made to obtain a
few plants of the Japanese cherry
tree, but it was not until years
later that efforts met with sue

Tokyo advised the Japanese am

1t was held that in the question
propounded to the mother concern
ing the condition of Schlaps' health
at the time he was a child there
was nothing calling for an express
sion of opinion as to his sanity,
and whether or not he was bright
or stupid mentally was immaterial.
1t was held that any opinion ex-
pressed by the teacher in regard
to Schlaps' mentality would have
been immaterial since low men
tality does not excuse murder; and
that, since Schlaps was a witness
in his own behalf, the jury were
amply able to gauge his mental
capacity from replies made by him,
and that in any event the witness
had not shown herself competent
to express an opinion on the sub
ject.
1t was held that while the law
will protect persons of unsound
mind, and distinction is made be-
tween sanity and insanity, no dis
| tinction is made as respects their
grade of intelligence where the
power of thought and aso ex-
lists.
1t was also held that while the
court had the power to call g
sanity hearing if he deemed it
necessary, the fact that he did not
do so did not point to any abuse
of his discretionary powers, and
that there was nothing in the re-
cords to show that such an in
quiry would have been justified.
