Man Hanging Head Downward With Legs Caught In Tree.

J., July lS.-GoIng In to a corn field on the Sir estate fcl Morris Plains, workmen saw the body of a man hanging from a cherry tree.

ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY While a Majority of Tokio Papere Fa vor Alllancn a Few Strongly Condemn It. Tokio, July 1?. The newspapers here continue to discuss the revised Anglo-Japanese treaty and while the majority of the papers favor the new alliance, still there are a few which strongly condemn It. The government press Is quietly congratulating the government on the Insertion into tho treaty of article IV., which practically exe'udes the possi bility of war between Japan and America. This article was Inserted in order to remove the last difficulty that stood In the way of the ratifica tion of the Anglo-American arbitration treaty as the old treaty provided that In case of war Great Britain should lend) aid to Japan. By the new alliance Great Britain by Its general arblrtatlon treaty with the United States Is precluded from supporting Japan In a conflict with the United States and it is held' in most quarters that by this spectre of war between Japan and America is removed. The new situation, some of the pa pers state, practically amounts to a triple alliance between Great Britain, Japan and the United States.
