DYING BY OWN HAND Baron Komura Said To Be Com mitting Slow Suicide. TAKES THE HINT FROM JAPAN T o R e tu rn to J a p a n W o u ld M e a n D i s g r a c e to G re a t P e a c e E n v o y N o w in A m e ric a . Sionx City, la., Sept. 16.— Baron Komura, the Japanese peace plenipo tentiary, ia committing alow suicide, according to Takaahita, manager of a troupe of vaudeville performers now appearing here. Takashita is highly educated and speaks English. In the course of an interview today regarding conditions in Japan, he inquired solici- tiously regarding the condition of Ko mura. He was told that it was no worse. “ But he will never get well,’ ’ replied Takashita slowly. “ When the'message was clicked over the cable that my countrymen were preparing to receive him with funeral rites, I knew he would never return to Japan. He doubtless had learned this already by private cablegrams. “ It was our nation’ s way of apprising him that he was in disgrace and that he could only atone for it by showing through his own death that he was still a hero and a patriot. You Americans little realize what hari-kari means to us. “ Komura knew full well that there was but one course left. Knowing that Americans would not understand his act, and that it would be viewed here as a disgrace, he could not commit hari-kari in the usual manner. “ He accordingly had recourse to some of the many powerful though subtle drugs with which Japanese statesmen and soldiers are familiar. It produces fever and makes it appear that he is dying of disease, but when the end comes our countrymen will understand and once more acclaim him hero.” The money for these libraries has been given to the commission by people who are particularly interested in hav ing them in small places. The first applicants and those which will make the best use of the libraries will receive them. The number of libraries is small and the state large. Therefore early application is desirable. While the number of free libraries is at pres ent somewhat limited the commission will make any place a permanent sta tion to receive two libraries a year for at least five years, if it will add one traveling library to the state system. ThiB means that an investment of, $50 will bring $500 worth of books, and that the community will have the use of all the libraries given to the com mission. For further information write to the secretary of the Oregon Library com mission, at the Capitol, Salem. Re member that this commission was cre ated by the legislature to aid public and Bchool libraries and to manage a system of traveling libraries.
