EDUCATED JAPANESE COMMITS SUICIDE S 'Utile, Jan. 13, A, Hoi lkl, n Jnn ani'He who has been In Seattle Tor sev eral months, committed suicide accord ing the oincial Japanese code some time yesterday morning. At. I o'clock In the afternoon his dend body was found lying on the floor &f his room In a Jap anese lodging house at 308 Fourth av enue south. He waa dlsembowled and his throat was cut. He had committed harlkarl. Lying beside the body was a large knife, with which the Injuries hnd been Indicted. The door to the room, which la the only means ot en trance, was locked and the key was on the Inside. Horlkl Is the first Japanese (n Se attle to end his existence by harlkarl. His motive Is unknown. His friends say he was nn educated man, liked by all the Japanese In the city, and so far, as known wlthont an enemy. In his pocket waa found a bank book show Ing he had $60 to his credit with a Japanese firm. The suicide was well planned. Hor lkl first divested himself of all clothing hut his undergarments. Then he put on hlfl overcoat and tied a cord about his neck.' from the condition of the wounds the blow In the center of the body was the first struck. He had fal- len on the brood of his back and evi dently bad been dead for several hour. : liHrikarl, la the Jaianese manner of ittoiienient Army and navy officers, It mating a mlstuKe ot sufficient Import ance to demand an Investigation by thoir. aupariora, - art given cholc, la many cases, of committing harlkarl or landing trial by court martial. When the alternative It given them, they art allowed, several days to think tbt mat u-r over and uauutly take their own lives. - . ... ', , For hundreds of years, the' Japanese suyj thla has been an act ot honor, and with "arm ' and navy officers rem6vea from their name any stain, which might otherwise attach, even to descendants, ware another' course pursued to atone for an overt act ot official mistake. The custom from army and navy circles pass ed Into civil practice, and back beyond the recollection of any of the whlte hulred natives of the empire It has been generally recognised at blotting out the past. . . ' -i ' ' When a man In Japan finds himself In any difficulty from which he cannot extricate himself without leaving a stain upon his name he commits barikarUand and the past la never again mentioned by any of his kin, no matter what the provocation uiy be. There have been very few Instances ot harlkarl n the Pacific coast. Local Japanese recall but one case In Port land and one In Han Francisco. When the method la ad ipted there Is usually some great provocation. ' The cose ot Horlkl waa Investigated by Coroner Hove. The fact of suicide being to evident It Is not probable that an Inquest will be held. FIRST TIME IN HISTORY Government Proper Will rumish World's Fair Exhibit That ; - Will Come From China.
