WOMANS PLAN FOR
WORLD GOOD WILL
FAVORED JAPAN
BOSTON, Oct. 22. (/p)—A program
for international good will devised by
a Boston woman in New York has
been so favorably received in Japan
that reports indicate concrete action
on her plan is in prospect.
A little more than a year ago, when
the Exclusion act was still rankling in
many Japanese, Miss Jessie M. Sher
wood, former secretary of the Japan
Society of Boston, who for years has
held a weekly soiree for Japanese
students in Boston colleges, was ask
ed to write an article for the Japanese
■American, a newspaper published in
New York.
She chose to advance and develop
the idea of a religious conference, bas
ed on the common objects hf Chris
tians, Buddhists and Jews to attain a
warless world. She dwelt on the
part which religious difference has
played in racial prejudice and saw in
such a conference an opportunity to
dispel misinformation and the relig
ions of other lands and bring a great
er public support to world peace.
The article, or the idea it embodied,
was copied widely and found promi
nent place yi newspapers of Japan.
Among the correspondents that Mrs.
Sherwood acquired was Gendo Nakai,
of Osaka, a Buddhist priest. He wrote
her first that the Buddhists at the To- "
kio Peace Exposition had already es- '
poused a similar idea, that a group of
priests had visited America to call to
the attention of President Coolidge
the community of ideals but that he
feared that unless the United States
took the Tead, as with the disarma
ment conference, nothing would be
done.
Recently, however, he wrote again,
saying that the first steps tow'ard such
a conference had been taken in To
kio by two quasi-religious organiza
tions, an extract from his letter fol
low's:
“Concerning the Religious Confer
ence you ardently propose, I am
glad to let you know' that recently two
resolutions, for holding a World Re
ligious Conference passed in two meet
ings in Tokyo, almost independent of
each other. The one in the mass
meeting of Religious Talking Society,
composed of well known professors,
missionaries and priests. The other
is in the meeting of professors and
students of Religious Course of Nip
pon University (a private institution.)
“It is reported that both parties con
cerned will confer writh each other to
promote their common plan in coop
eration. I hope your proposal will be
realized in the not far future.”
FILIPINO COURT
DECIDE STATUS
OF GAME POKER
MANILA, Oct. 22. (flP)—Meeting with
adverse results in the courts in the
prosecution of persons arrested on
charges of playing poker, the constab
ulary authorities have concluded that
further raids on these games would
be useless expenditure of time and
money until the question of whether
poker is a game of skill or chance is
decided by the Supreme Court.
The courts of first instance have1
held that poker is a game of skill,
while the attorney general has render
ed an opinion that it is a game of
chance and as such is punishable un
der the laws. n*
Brigadier General Rafael Crame,
chief of the constabulary, calling the
attention of the secretary to the sub
ject says:
“Since the attorney general in his
opinion of several years ago held that
poker wras a game of chance and pun
ishable, instruction were given to the
constabulary to apprehend and pros
ecute all persons engaged in playing
poker and these instructions are still
in vogue. However, since judges
have taken upon themselves to acquit
persons playing poker, there is no
need of the constabulary spending any
time and money in raiding these poker
games, if the men caught will be ac
quitted.”
Steps have been taken to bring a
case before the Supreme Court in or
der that a final decision on the sub
ject will be obtained.

STUDY OF CASE OF INSANE
ANT RECORDED BY SWISS
ZURICH, Oct. 22. (JP)—The story of
a demented ant is recorded in the ar
chives of Neurology and Psychiatry by
Dr. Rudolph Brun, widely known nerve
specialist.
The ant was discovered in one of
the artifically constructed nests for
scientific observation. The insect ran
about incessantly while others remain
ed quietly in the corners of the nest,
apparently shunning the demented
one. The momentum of the wildly
rushing ant was such that it was un
able to stop when anything was en
countered.
Alter six days the ant was dissected*
and, under a miscroscope, it was dis
covered to have suffered a tumor in
the left lobe of the brain, which had
destroyed several of the most import
ant centers.
