Omaha Teacher Who Was Killed by Police Officer's Motorcycle 7 Insert is picture of Policeman George Swan, , whose motorcycle struck and killed Miss Anna Jensen. Policeman Held for Causing Woman's Death (Continued From Fage One.) I given by seven witnesses against Officer Swan, the policeman adheres to his original statement, that he "was speeding to catch a racing Cadillac car that passed to th left of a south bound street car." Saw No Automobile. Julius Bacon, 2556 Cuming street, conductor on the street car from which Miss Jensen alighted an in stant before she was killed, testified that he saw no automobile speed past the car. "I saw the motorcycle officer com ing at a terrific rate of speed," the conductor testified. "I refused to open the rear doors of the car until he had passed for fear he would strike some of the alighting passen gers." Elmer Urban, 34a0 South Thir teenth steretj-who alighted from the street car a step behind Miss Jen sen, testified that' the impact of the collision hurled Miss Jensen against him.

Charles Predial, 1310 Garfield avenue, and Louis Norgard; 3714 South Sixteenth street, testified that they saw no automobile that Swan said he was chasing. Prechal and Norgard were in an automobile truck driving south in Thirteenth street when the accident occurred. Shouts Futile Warning.

MILITARISM IS DEAD IN JAPAN, SAYS MINISTER Big Change in Far East Is Described by Missionary At Methodist Conference. Des Moines, May 8. Dr. Frank Hcrron Smith of Seoul, Kore.S, speaking tonight as the fraternal delegate from the Japanese Metho dist church to the Methodist general conference, stated that Japan was not a military menace, giving as his reason the fact that the boys no longer are anxious to enter eith er the military or naval academy. Dr. Smith gave as further evidence that Japan is turning from militar istic tendencies, the fact that the enormous war profits of that nation are being used by the government to build 29 new colleges and 10 new universities, and to educate hundreds of Japanese young men, both at home and abroad, to assume pro fessorships in these new institutions. He stated further than the most popular word in Japan today is "detnokurassy," which, he, said, is equivalent for "democracy." The four great problems in Japan, said Dr. Smith, are the high cost of liv ing, labor agitation, bolshevism and universal suffrage. An election to be held throughout the empire next Monday has to do with the matter of suffrage, and bids fair to mean great things for Japan. Dr. Smith stated that in 12 years the member ship of the Methodist church of Ja pan has doubled, and contributions are twice as much per capita as in America. Greetings from the . Methodist Episcopal church south were brought to the general conference by Dr. Charles W. Tadlock, who ex pressed a strong hope that the two great Methodisms of America may be soon united. He urged that both churches take up the present chal lenge of the world to Christianity the solution of social and industrial problems of present day civilization according to Christian ideals. Memorial services for bishops and a few other church leaders who died in the last four years will be held tomorrow by the conference. Town Has Preacher Mayor. Emporia, tvn., May 8.
