OVER 100000 HAS REACHED
JAPANESE FOR FIRE CLAIMS

The japanese Ere claims have been
nearly half paid. There are n total
of 2400 claims and of these over 100
had been paid up to Saturday at noon.
Altogether a total of over 100000 has
been distributed among the japanese,
out of the nearly one quarter of mil
lion dollars awarded by the Fire Claims
Commission.
All of the Japanese claims were as
signed originally to S. Ozaki, the well
known Japanese merchant and to him
was paid the total amount of the "a
ward by Treasury Agent MacLennan.
Besides that he also took the bonds
which were afterwards sold at ninety,
so that the payments now being made
are the entire balances due these Japa-
nese.
The garnishee suits against the Japa-
nese claimants in which S. Ozaki was
made defendant as holder of the fire
claims money were all knocked out in
the District Court, and so the Japa-
