SUICIDE ATTEMPT
W. X. Wells, superintendent of the
county poor farm at Talent lies at his
home In a preca rlcnis condition as the
result of a self-inflicted gunshot
wound, Tuesday morning about six
o'clock. A bullet from a .38 calibre
rifle was fired into his left breast,
lunging below the heart und passing
through the lower lobe of the lungs.
Dr. Malmgren of Phoenix was called
to attend to the wounded man.
The injured man has been subjected
to melancholia, and suffering for tile
last five years from ill health. These
are the reasons given for the net. He
underwent two major operations for
stomach trouble about five years ago.
and friends state this had a depress
ing effect ujxm his mind.
The act was committed in the kitch
en of the Wells' apartment at the poor
farm. His wife was out in the yard
feeding the chickens when she heard
the shot. She rushed into the kitch
en to find her mate lying on the floor
with n rifle by his side.
Further evidence that the. act was
premeditated is shown in a check writ
ten out to the Phoenix church of which
Mr. Wells was treasurer.
Besides his wife, the wounded man
bap a daughter, Airs. Elton ileesou of
Talent.

AiniH K II. MEYERS, Manager
BY JAP PEOPLE
TAKIO, July 0. -"It is regrettable
that the real character and policy of
the new American president should be
misunderstood by some of the Japan
ese people," said Micho Kakit, secre
tary of the Japanese embassy In Wash
ington who has just returned on fur
lough .when interviewed by the Asulil
representative. Mr. Kaku continued:
"The president lias often had occa
sion to express Ills conviction that an
Auulo-Amei-lcan-Jaijunese entente can
be made the basis of world peace,
j There is every reason to believe that
the American president and his stuff
are all In favor of the Inulntenunce of
friendly relations between America
and Japan.
"Mr Oznki's policy of armament lim
itation produced u favorable impres
sion on American minds in general al
though the plan was defeated in the
Jupunese lower house.
"On my way buck I wus often asked
by American friends when the American-Japanese
war was going to break
out, and some young American women
I met in the country districts assured
me that they were determined to of
fer their services as hospital nurses
upon the outbreak of American-Japan-
e3e hostilities.
;I was ruther surprised that so many
Ainericuns should anticipate an Amur
ican-Japanese armed conflict. My Im
pression is that the Americans are pre
pared to fight if challenged, but other
wise they will be the last to take up
arms against the Japanese. The diplo
matic relations of the two countries are
not, therefore, by any means so ser
iously strained or going to be strained
as to justify any anticipation of an
American-Japanese war. if the situa
tion appears to be anything but nulto
smooth, that is only because of the
propaganda of some Chinese and Bol
sheviks." In the Osaka. Mainchi Mr. Kaku Is
quoted as saying that what had struck
home particularly during his three
years' service In the United States was
the deep Impression which Japun's
militarism has made on American
minds. The general Impression among
Americans Is that the military party
is predominant in Japan and that the
Japanese government is under its in
fluence. This bears witness to the
extensive Injury which the existence
of the military party in Japan is doing
to tlte country's cause.
But Mr. Kaku emphasized that Mr.
Ozakl's disarmanent speeches hud
produced a greater echo than exacted
and that Americans generally inter
preted these speeches to Indicate a de
cline in the influence of the Japanese
military party.
lie was convinced also thut as n re
sult of the friendly attitude of the new
American government the "anti-Jap-
unese situation in the United States
had Improved very considerably.

WOMAN PAYS FREAK
BET ON CARPENTIER
OMAHA, NVb.. July . While
more than 500 persona looked on,
Mrs. Hose St odd en yesterday nald a
freak bet on the Dempsey-CarpentlT
hoiit by piloting Walter Illnklc-y thru
t he hitHiness Heetlon here In a gaily
decorated wheelbarrow. She had a
large placard, "I bet on Cnri titier"
pinned on her hack. It took her 2r
minutes to wheel Kinkier over the
jpreaurjbed route.
LONDON' Rince Easter the divorce
court. have been working at hliih
pressure to clear off an unprecedented
accumulation of arreaia, which,
added to a steady Htream of new
cases, threatened at one time to over
whelm the physical capacity of the
bench. '
It needed the assistance of a num
ber of retired judged to make head
way against the avalanche of suits,
with the result th.it they have been
disposed of at the average rate of two
score or more per day.
The Lord Chancellor, Lord Birken
head, himself, lent assistance by art
ing as an ordinary Judge In the courts.
Reviewing the position, he said:
"The war has left a degree of un
rest which has spread Into almost
every sphere of modern ,llfe, and the
influence of which Is likely to bo felt
for an indefinite period in domestic
relationships.
"Nineteen out of twenty of the
caaes in arrears," Lord Illrketihead
added, "had their causea in the war
or consequences of the war. The dale
when he Joined the army was the
early chronological landmark of pe
titioner after petitioner, from- which
dated the familiar and melancholy
story of weakness on the part of the
wife."
Jt is Lord Birkenhead's opinion that
matrimonial suits may not return at
least for a generation, to the pre-war I
level.
The anomaly ot the present situa
tion has revived controversies on the
inadequacies of English divorce lawn,
Mrs. Kcaton -Tied man, secretary of
the Divorce Law Keform Union, esti
mates that the number of wrecked
marriages In the I'nited Kingdom Is
higher in proportion to the popula
tion than In the United States.

THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
3Y " INDIAN" MILLER
When Columbu discovered America, Christ's cross on his sails
and banners, to tuhom did he reveal it? I answer myself. To the
Christian nations, to whom alone it was a discovery. Had l!.e Indians
reached Europe in thos days they woutd net, accor-:ng to the practice
cf those times, have discovered the Old World. It is not discovered
yt Had the Chinese reached America at that time it would not have
constituted a discovery. Only things found by Christians were discov
eries. From the old Christian standpoint the Esquimaux crossing the
Behring Straits in those days found nothing on either side, because
they uxr not Christians. It is an interesting study.
Why was America called the New World? Because it was new to
Christians, of course. It was not new to the Indians; nor was civiliza
tion a new thing to the Indians.
When Columbus discovered the New World he discovered also a
netu race-the red race. Why was it a new race? Because Christiana
had not known of it. The Pope had not known of it, The King of
Spain had not known of it.
When Columbus discovered the Red Men they did not in turn dis
cover him, although they saw him. Why? Because they were not
Christians.
The day of discovery is not over. Motorists are discovering in
Savage Tires a product in keepinj with the ideal behind their manu
facture -the ideal to make tires so mighty that they will excel all others.
And now a new member has come into the tribe -the mightiest of
them all -the new Savage Cord. ' This latest product of the House of
Spreckels embodies refinements and the best known practices in cord
tire construction. Even as the Savage D type is mighty among fabric
tires, so is this Savage Cord mighty among tires of cord construction,
for it is Built to Excel. It is true.
