J3y Albert S. Aehmead, M. D., Late Foreign
"Medical Director Toklo Hospital. Japaa. v '
HE empire of the 'Mikado' to a Japanese means spiritual empire
and not a mere material or temporal empire. For many centur
t ies, wtilolthe Mlkados (Heavenly Gates) were Isolated in their
-,Holy Seclusion, behind the. Devil's Gate, at Kioto, there reigned
-''mere temporal rulers,1 the -Sirens '(great generals), at ToMo.
In 1867, the beginning of the Meiji era, the Sat-Cho (Satsuma
rrhrvsTiin provincials of high degree), a political ring, over-.
threw the Shoguns and brought the. figurehead of the empire; from ; mas sa
cred Isolation at Kioto. v.- - - . .
He is the Teligloua head of the nation, typefying the Bushido - war
spirit) of the people, that is alL He is not Emperor a word the Japanese do
not know although they use it tot deceive Westerners. A Mikado la. Tenno
son of , heaven or God), He neveV;dies, but, hodrurus (translates). He !
God In - man's form and W such can only reign in the spirit .of the nation.
The real temporal ruler of the Empire of Japan la that Sat-Cho, a political
clique, and the. Mikado is only puppet King. His mentality is of a very low
order, In. fact all the high nobles of Japan under the old order of nobility were
rather, effeminate, if not really imbecile. The Mikado is no exception to this
category. Therefore he is easily handled "politically by the rngsters,-whose
cnily aii Is to satisfy-Samourlsu, or. Bushido, the war spiritual the nation,
iianded dcwn to them." from the time of 'Krishna, god of war, of Brahminlsm,
even at the beginning of protestant Buddhism.
4 This. Is th? curse of the Japanese people, that love of fighting and besides,
there is the worship of heroes. , And how are heroes to be made in a Japanese
'point4 of view save by war? Samuralsm before the disestablishment of feudal
ism, in 1867. was "satiated .bv. wars .between the Damois. Each province or
kigh class family's servants (Samaurai) would fight with the next ones. But
la 1867 Samurai were nationalized into a central army, or lighting force.
This spirit of war, the true soul of Japan, will never be willing to remain
in barracks for any length of time. It soon demands a new war. Where will
a war be found to appease it by that ring' of political tricksters ca31ed Sat
Cho except In a foreign war? Thus it will be ever.
After they have fought America they must find feome other, country to
make war upon. That next, m 'all probability will be Holland. For Japan
must 'have the Dutch East Indies. And so it will go on.
But what I write this letter for especially Is to point out that the "spirit
oal empire" of that pagan "ruler" is what we have most to dread. It is that
which threatens us already in our Pacific States. Paganism of the Mikado Is
already getting a foothold upon our Christian European and American shores.
This is what we must guard against most.
The war that is on in the world today fa that between two civilizations,
paganism And Christianity. Until Japanese have been taught by defeat that
their Emperor, as we call him. Is not a. God "or holy avatar, there will be end
less wars on the part of Japan? We must put down her unholy paganism and
.then, there, will., be. peace or, .Christianity.'. Which will win. naranlsm or Chris
tianity; the god of war (Krishna) or peace and good will to men (Christ) 7 that, there was l'nctjrV between the

HE United States of America Is Che marvel of the ages, the giant
of the nations. Not three centuries have passed since the first
r English colony was established with its limits. To day It is the
- peaceful home of 80,000,000 of freemen dwelling between the two
. oceans. Not merely in population, but in resources, wealth, in
telligence, culture and achievement it challenges the admiration
of all. Taken In its entirety, its phenomenal development is
unequaled. We have done and are doing great things in a short time. The
significant, impressive fact is size, magnitude. -
Excluding our island possessions we have 2,300,000,000 acres of land. "Uncle
Sam is rich enough to give all a farm," involves no stretch of the. imagination.
Railroads, the mystic arteries of commerce, abound here as nowhere else.
Our railroad mileage is 214,000 miles, nearly as much as that of all the world
beside. The capital invested Is $13,000,000,000.. The service the past year
require! 4C,000 locomotives, 40,000 passenger coaches, 1,700,000 freight
cars, and 1,300,000 employes. They succeeded in killing 10,000 people and in-

London Mental Anguish Bill Discussed
The bill came up providing for codi
fying all the Supreme Court decis
ions on mental anguish cases against
telegraph companies, and to make
statutory the 'principal of mental an
guish es established by the Supreme
Court; the bill being unfavorably re
ported by the judiciary committee
and with a minoritv report. London,
the author of the bill, explained it,
saying that the Supreme Court, in a
decision, had practically asked for
such legislation as the bill contem
plated.. He said the bill was oppos
ed by three abb telegraph lawyers,
and was reported unfavorably by a
bare majority of the committee. .He
said there was no criticism to be made
of the telegraph companies' effort to
defeat the proposition to recognize
by statute the doctrine of damages for
mental suffering due to negligence of
telegraph companies. The represen
tatives of the companies have the
right to seek to defeat a bill making
by the act of the Legislature a prin
ciple establised by the court. . '
He offered an amendment striking
out all the sections of the bill except
the one declaring and establishing a
doctrine of mental anguish.

Justice's Bate Bill.
TL a .
xue commiiiee . on public service
corporations reported favorablv the
uusuiuie diu reaucmg passenger
iares on railways and this was made
a special order for next Wednesday
at n.
Following the announcement of this
fact, Speaker Justice introduced, out
of order, a bill to prevent freight rate
discriminations and to regulate
freight charges. It is state that this
bill has been in very careful prepara
non ior some time and that it was
introduced as early after the coast
became clear of the consideration of
passenger reduction bills by the com
mittees. ' The bill is a very important
one and its text follows. The title is:
'An act to prevent unfair and uniust
discriminations in freight charges by
railway companies."
Corporation Commission shall, in fix
ing freight rates, not allow any rail
way company .or. companies doing
business in this State to charge more
for transporting freight over the
lines of two or more companies than
is at the time permitted by said com
mission for transporting a like kind
and qualityand quantity of. freight
an equal distance of continuous mile
age over the line or lines of a" single
railway company. "
Sec. 2. That in fixing -the schedule
for freight rates by railways for
transporting freight from one point
in this State to antoher point,
the commission shall not fix or allow
greater charges for or-by said com
panies than is then fixed or allowed
by the companies or by the authority
of Virginia for the same services and
under similar circumstances and con
ditions for transporting freight from
one point in Virginia to another point
in that State, so that the freight
charges "of North Carolina will not at
any time exceed those for like service
in Virginia, provided that nothing
herein shall be construed as a direc
tion to raise anj' rate.
Sec. 3. That any railway or officer
or agent thereof doing business in
North Carolina which shall give' to
a hy person or shipper any advantage
over another person or shipper under
like circumstances in the way of any
rebate or reduce rates not authorized
by law or by the corporation commis
sion, or which shall, charge for ship
ment of freights in violation of this
act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall be. fined for eaeh offence not
not less than $100 and such officer or
agent shall be fined or imprisoned or
both, .in the discretion of the court,
and any shipper or consignee . of any
frieght: in .theState.ofi North -Caro-lint,
who shall knowingly' accept any
rebate' or advantage from an.v railway
company; which, is. not" afforded ..other
shippers or consignees under like 'cir
- stances "and which :is not allowed
by law, 'shall ,be guilty of a misde
meanor and be fined or imprisoned in
the discretion' of , the '-court. -
' The total amount contributed ' by
citizens of the United States for phil

New- York - City. Evelyn; Nesbit
Thaw, the . wife of Harry Thaw,
laid bare in ' th& Criminal Branch of
the Supreme. Court the story, of her
life,' the' recital of which was expected
by the defense to convince the Jury
that herVhusband was justified when
i he . shot down Stanford . White, the
man who, she declared, first drugged"
and then ruined her. ; " ; '
As the former chorus girl answered
readily the questions' put to her by
Delphin M. Delmas, chief counsel for
the prisoner,. every v one in the court
room ; leaned eagerly, forward, so as
not to miss aword that dropped from
herMlps. ; The pitiful story she -told
moved every one in. the room. Men
wiped the tears from their eye3, while
women sobbed 'aloud: It was one of
the most dramatic recitals ever heard
In any court.
Never before had the grimi court
room held a bigger crowd ior one
wrought up to such a pitch of excite
ment. The defense7 had put forward
its star witness. '
A more girlish figure' that that
L which answered when Clerk .Penney
called - Evelyn Jfesbit .Thaw ' could
scarcely be 'imagined. . She wore a .
loose jacket of dark blue, 4 such, as
many a schoolgirl wears, and a dark
hat of. childish cut decorated,-with a
bunch of violets. About her neck
she wore a wide turndown collar of.a
modified Little Lord Fauntleroy de
sign and a soft lawn tie of black tied
In a' bow. , Her hair, while not hang
ing loosely down her back, was half
caught-up and' tied with a black rib
bon In a sort of pug at-the back of
her neck. - -
The court room saw-her without
a veil for the first time since the trial
began. ; s There was disclosed a pretty
face, small of feature, but regular in
cut, a pair of large black eyes, Tery
soft and very pleading,1 a pair of
straight eyebrows of heaviest black, a
mouth' large but not unpleaslner.
whose lips parted to. disclose two
rows of very white teeth.
Mrs. Thaw was called by the de
fense to supply the testimony needed
to support its contention that the de
fendant had learned something about
the architect's treatment of Evelyn
Nesbit that had caused an insane
idea to form in his brain that grew
with the years until it culminated In
the impulse that caused him to shoot
White bn Madison Square roof gar
den.
In her story Mrs. Thaw gave a mo
tive for the shooting by laying her
ruin to Stanford White. She had
first been led by . Mr. Delmas to tell
of the dinner at the Cafe Martin, the
shooting on the roof garden and of
her marriage . to Thaw on April 4,
19 OS. Then the examining lawyer
jumped back to the summer of 1903,
when she and Thaw were In Paris. It
was at this time, she said, that Thaw
first proposed marriage to her and
she had refused him.
"In stating the reasons to Mr.
Thaw why you had refused him, did
you state a reason based on an event
of your life with ' which Stanford
White" was connected?" Mr. Delmas
"Yes: said Mrs. Thawv
Then, In the form of a relation of
the confession she made to Thaw,
the witness told of meeting White,
through a girl friend, in August,
1901, when so was only sixteen
years old. She went to a luncheon
party given by White at a house id
West Twenty-fourth street, she said,
and after that met the architect sev
eral times, always with the knowl
edge and consent of her - mother.
Sometimes the parties were in the
Twenty-fourth street house and some
times In White's apartments in the
tower of Madison Square Garden.
.. After the acquaintance had been
continued for some time, she said.
White asked her mother If she didn't
want to go to her home in Pittsburg.
Mrs. Nesbit objected that she did not
like to leave her daughter, but White
nromised to look out for her, and
Mrs. Nesbit left town, the witness
said, .
Two days afterward White sent her
a note to come to a party at tho
Twenty-fourth street house, and she
went there after the theatre. Only
White was present, she said. After
supper, White invited her to inspect
a part of the house she hadn't seen,
and they went upstairs to "a strange
room" filled with cabinets, paintings,
etc? Adjoining was a bedroom, with
a "tiny little table" in the centre, on
which was a bottle of champagne and
one glass. At White's urgent solici
tation she said, she drank a rrlass of
the wine, and "I don't know whether
it was. a minute after or two minutes
after, but a pounding began in my
ears, then the whole room seemed to
go around, everything got very
black."
. The girl's - voice broke at this
point, . and, although she did not
break down, it was only with the
greatest effort she forced back the
tears. Some of the women In the
courtroom sobbed openly, .and more
than one man used his handkerchief
vigorously. ....
"When I woie up i was In bed
she continued .'I screamed and
screamed and screamed." ;
During the whole of the time his
wife was -on the stand Thaw had not
taken Ills' eyes from her until thi3
portion of her testimony was reached
Then he buried his face -in a hand
kerchief, and his body shook with
emotion.-' Hi3 eyes, -were tear, stained
and red. when be next looked up.
White subsequent conduct, as re
lated by Mrs. Thaw, was cynical ia
the extreme. In piteof this confes
sion Thaw Insisted that he would
marry her If she, would love hjm, de
claring that no one could blame her
for her misfortune. -They quarreled,
and she came back to New York.
By a most adroit maneuvre of the
defense all this astounding story told
by; Evelyn r.Nesbit -Thaw- was intro
duced in the guise of information im
parted by her to Thaw. As such it
was admissible only 33, tending to
demonstrate : Its Influence upon the
sane or' Insane condition of his mind
at a later. period.- .; .
Just before the midday recess was
reached and after Mrs. ThawJiad told
of the struggles of i her earlier life,
how she had eventually come to pose
for artists, and' then went on- the
stage, Mr.' Delmas tried to get into
evfdence a ' letters. Thaw wrote and
gave to Miss Nesbit, addressed to F.
W. Longfellow, his legal adviser in
this city; ; After recess, by a series of
adroit moves, Mr Delmas succeeded
in having the letter admitted as tend
ing to show the condition of Thaw's
mind, after the confession the girl had
made to him.- It 1 was a rambling
communication, and to it was pinned
another sup of paper, on which was
written: "Pi S. If you can't read
this, don't trouble'
In the third letter Admitted and
read. Thaw spoke of the strain he
rwas under, and: gave evidences of it
in many rambling; almost incomn re-
hensible statements.'
