was at that time an ensign on the

Among tine others are two finch
shrapnels, one of which is solid, the

laps Having Trouble.
Considerable trouble has been eX-
perienced in locating the Japanese
theatre, with the Canton Carnival
Co. The tent was put up three times
today, just north of the Office of the
American Cereal Co. and each time
was pulled down by the employees of
the company. 1t was stated that
police protection would be given the
theatre company, so that the tent
might be put up and not mOlested,
but as yet this has not been done
and this afternoon the Japs perform
ed in the Streets of All Nations.
They will also perform there this
evening, and may continue to occupy
space there during the week. One
of the japanese performers, Mrs.
Millie Ottura, is an artist of ability,
having attracted considerable atten-
ton in vaudeville sleight of hand
performances at the Grand Opera
House, Pittsburg, last winter. She
also does n sword walking act.
