By utilizing a recent discovery by a chem- ist, a coating placed upon a pencil of.i | celluloid is inserted in the affected area | and the peculiar property of radium, of destroying disease ~germs without operation was | breaking down the living tissues, is demonstrated.

Sol- diers representing all military organi- zations managed the decorative work with remarkable ‘effect. The valley in which the Headquar- ters is encamped was transformed | into a park by utilizing streams, grass plats and hillsides. for the reproduc- tion of Japanese scenery. An altar with a tablet in memory of the army's dead was erected on the summit of a hill. The approach to the altar was a wide avenue through a grove of trees studded with artificial cherry blossoms and crossed by 'tri- umphal arches. Other features of the decorations were an equestrian statue, representing. General Kuroki, and a reproduction of the Yalu battle- field. Shinto Buddhist services in | memory of the dead soldiers were held at the altar, with troops massed at the foot of the hill. Race tracks, theaters and a pro- fusion of unique decorations were laid | Several hundred of- | ficers took luncheon at tables spread ' out on the plain. under the trees, and the amusements which followed included a procession representing the Samurai warriors and followers of feudal times.

STEPHEN AFOUL _ OF BYINGION District Attorney Byington and Chief Surgeon J. 1. Stephen of the Central Emergency Hospital clashed last night. Stephen refused to wait for Asistant District Attorney Thomas Kennedy to take a dying statement from Lee Tons, a Chinaman, who was fatally stabbed by Lee Tie in a house on Union street. The injured man and his assailant were brought to the Central Emergen- cy Hospital by Policeman J. J. Casey. Casey notified headquarters and De- tective Ray Siivey and Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Kennedy were immedi- ately sent to the hospital to take Tong's statement. Dr. Stephen was in- formed that they were coming, but he refused to wait for their arrival When Kennedy and Silvey reached the hospital fifteen minutes after the | | stabbed man had been brought in, they | found him In the operating room al- | ready under an anesthetic. It appeared | very likely that the man would die and Kennedy was wroth at the action of Stephen in ignoring the District Attor- ney’'s office. He said that in the event the State would have no case on which to prose- cute the murderer. He could not un- derstand why Stephen refused to wait when he was informed that the mem- ber of the District Attorney’s office was on his way to the hospital. ‘While Silvey and Kennedy were pro- testing against Stephen’s actions, the chief surgeon was busily engaged in operating with the assistance of Dr.4 Jules Simon 6f the Health Board. Stephen would not wait five minutes that the dying statement might be taken.

Lt e JAPAN LIKES HER ALLY. . to Strengthen’ the Alliance With Great Britain, NEW YORK, May 1. — Korekigo | Tgkahashi, financial agent of the Japanese Government, who arrived from London yesterday after nego- tiating the recent Japanese war loan, sald to-day that Admiral Togo would not offer battle to the Russian fleet, Jbecause he had too much at stake and was not willing to risk all on the first throw of the dice. i In his opinion, the most important matter under consideration by the Japanese statesmen is the enlarging of the scope of the alliance now existing between Japan and Great Britain. He considers that Russia will be so weak- ened by the war that its influence in he Far East will not be seriously con- sidtred for ten years. ‘When he was asked if he thought there was any possibility of an alli- ance between Russia and Japan for | growth and is in need of increased facilities the imposing of a Monroe doctrine in | for the tior; of the publi o the Fap East he said:, 3 e :r% |:m mmyrovmu jui That is a French idea, which has been given | the expenditure of several mtilions more in birth owing to the alarm the French have felt | extending of lines, over the encroachment of the Emperor of Ger- many in China. Of course, there is nothing pre- posterous about the idea of such an alliance, but at present the Japanese statesmen are con. sidering ways and means or effecting a great t offensive and ~defensive alliance with Britain.

Byington, accompanied by Fore- man Andrews of the Grand Jury, went | to the hospital to demand an explana- tion from Stephen. The head surgeon made the statement that the Chinaman would not die for several hours. Dis- trict Attorney Byington thought this a broad statement for any physician to make off hand, and told Stephen that the dying statement which would be the State’s principal evidence in the case was extremely important,and that the doctor should have waited five min- | utes for a representative of the Prose- cuting Attorney’s office. As it would be at least five hours before Tong would be able to talk and then possibly not with any degree of intelligence, the detective and assistant District Attor- ney were obliged to go away without having accomplished anything.
