 Sam Jurihara went back to his car, and from close range he was shot in the left arm, side and ab- domen.
 She Ends It All
 All this time the terrified girl re- mained in the house. She wept for joy when her lover escaped the first shots, but when she heard the next one, and saw her father coming home with his smoking gun, she was certain that it was the end of her love.
 She went to a medicine cabinet and swallowed poison. The lovers were taken to the same hospital, to adjacent rooms. The girl died there with her stepmother beside her, and Sam Jurihara passed the crisis of his wound not knowing what she had done. He was told later. His doctors said he will live.

 The State Highway department is and has been the stronghold of the Republican party. This is and was the one post that the party wanted more than any other polit- ical post in the states departments On its payroll today are found the names of a majority of registered Republicans.
 The terrific political battle which has been raging in Fairfield County is expected to spread throughout the state. The Grand Jury which will be impanelled on Jan. 25, will investigate a number of prominent Republican leaders of Fairfield County.
 Bradley during the session of 1887 fared badly at the hands of the old guard of the Republican party and was refused the senate leadership which he held in 1885. Senator Gaynor E. Brennan of Stamford was elected as the Republican sen- ate leader in place of Bradley.
 The activities of the executivs of the Young Republicans are being watched with keen interest by the young Republican clubs throughout Connecticut, and whatever action the executive board of the Young Republicans should take, if any will be backed by the local Young Republicans club as we'll as by all the other locals in the state.

statement to the nation and the world on its policy and coincidently to work urgently toward crushing Chinese resistance at the earliest possible time.
 Cabinet ministers and the leaders of the imperial headquarters con- ferred throughout the day.
 But the secret meeting at the war office was generally taken as dis closing what was going to happen. The generals called in were the senior offices of the imperial army, and the meeting was one of unusual moment.
 Must Coerce China
 The Domei News Agency, whose dispatches in such instances are often of semi official inspiration, said that the cabinet-imperial head quarters conference resulted in agreement that China stil was "re- calcitrant" and that therefore:
 "The government is compelled to proceed with resolute enforcement of a policy for attainment of its ultimate objective of securing peace in East Asia"
 This could mean only the con- centration of every National effort on winning the war as soon as pos- sible and busting the present Chi nese government provided 1t did noS submit to Japanese demands as re- gards peace terms.
 The newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun predicted early rupture of Chinese Japanese relationS-the combatants being officially on friendly terms automatically. It was added that arrangements had been made to re- call Shigeru Kawagoe, Japanese aln- bassador to China, and to hand Hsu Shih-Y Ting, Chinese ambassador to Tokio, his passport.
