RIOTING FOLLOWS PEACE AR
RANGEMENTs.
Disappointment Shown Over Results
of Conference at Ports

A cahle from Tokyo says: Rioting broke
out here Tuesday night in connection with
Tie Dissatisfaction over the results of the
peace settlement. There were several
clashes with the police. and 1t is estimated
that two were killed and 500 wounded
Tie rioting ceased at midnight Police sta
tions We're the only property destroyed.
The first turbulence attendant on the
popular anger over the terms of peace ar
ranged with Russia broke out during the
day. A massmeeting to protest against
the action of the government was called to
take place at Hibiya Park. but the met
ropoltan police closed the gates and at
tempted to prevent the assemblage of the
people. The municipality protested against
the action of the police and finally the
gates were thrown open and large crowd
gathered and voted in favor of resolutions
dec. airing the nation Inundated, and de-
nounc!ng the terms upon which the treaty
of peace was arranged. The crowd was
serious in its conduct, rather tilan angry,
and the police handled it dlsCreeuy he
gathering eventually dispersed in an orderly
mU rler.
Later on, however a crowd attempted
to hold meeting In the Shintomi rEeater,
and the police d dispersed u. portion OF
the crowd then proceeded to the office of
the koku.nun Shinbun, tie government Or
gan, and began hootlng. Three employees
OF the paper, armed with SWORDS, appeared
at the door of the buI!oing and checked the
attack and the police again dispersed the
crowd. 1t thought that the trouble
had passed, when suddenly q port on OF
the crowd made rush at the building,
hurled stones and damaged some of the
MACH merry. Several persons were injured
during the attack, but the ro.Ice eventually
cleared the streets of the crowd and ar
rested d number of the rioters.
Similar meetings have been held at Osaka

LAS O BEAUTIFUL.

Las Vegas can be made q city of
q her citizens expend their efforts
with more assurance OF results In pro.
noting the development Of the city.
There is a very large element of pOrI.
lation In this country which goes about
over the land looking for a place to
tarry and perchance to remain per-
manently and which Is Influenced by
no other considerations but the appeal
to their sense of beauty and comforf
Let the Incompatible charm OF our
climate be combined with the attrac.
ton Of a city which appeals to them as
a beautiful. homelike place Of resi-.
dence and the result is easy to foresee.
Las Vegas anticipates no great fu-
ture as a place of manufacture or a
railroad centre. We can not eiiiy
however. be too optimistic concerning
the future development OF the city as
q place OF residence for persons Of
wealth and leisure. II only we will
do u part to make the community
Al attractive al possible.
In taking q walk through the better
residence portion of the city one Is
struck by the ragged appearance of
the streets nc less than by the we'll
kept appearance Of the houses and
lawns. We have an unusual number
Of beautiful homes. a IS a rule fire.
quent painting preserves their fresh,
attractive appearance. stately trees
add the touch OF dignity and beauty
to the premises while the well kept
lawns are a delight. But let the eye
once wander across the fence to where
the green border of lawn and neat
Curbing should be, and We find barren
ground or weeds and ragged grass.
The gutter line Is irregular and the
grade Is uneven. The street Is twice
too Wide and consequently cut and
scared by drainage lines while the dust
surface Il proportionately Increased.
The whole effect is one OF dilapidati0n
and shiftlessness. Judged by the ap-
pearance OF our streets, nc stranger
could think well Of Las Vegas and
this In spite OF the attempt at improve
ment which has been made by the city
authorities.
So long az we have no cutters. no
curbing. no streets with narrow,
rounded driveways curving from curb
to curb. the city scraper can do no
more than make the streets passable.
A home with house and lawn we'll
kept. but the street line ragged.
weedy and irregular reminds one Of
q man attired neatly and correctly from
his head % the bottom Of his panta-
looms which are frayed and ragged.
His frayed pantal0ons mock his spot.
less linen and stylish chapeau.
Following the action Of the city
council. new sidewalks are going down
In various parts OF the city. II each
property owner. while establishing his
grade and laying the sidewalk. will
lay his curbing and grade up his park
ing. the contrast will soon induce his
neighbor whose walk Is already down
to make a like improvement.
The climate OF Las Vegas Is so de-
lightful as to be noticed by every
stranger who enters the town. Let US
make the physical appearance OF the
city so beautiful that II also will be
the admiration Of every stranger who
comes this way. ~.
