ALL CONVERSATION
BY THE EAvEsDRoPPER

The much talked of yellow peril is
SO much meaningless conversation con-

of c. c. Kennedy a wealthy sugar
plantation owner of Hawaii, who is at

For the last thirty-six years Mr..
Kennedy has been in the sugar grow
ing business in Hawaii and has em-
ployed nearly 800 Japanese and other
laborers. He says that the Japanese
problem which America is discussing
today is a problem of her own making.
Americans have not only invited the
Japanese to come to this country but
they have offered every inducement to
make them come" said he when seen
yesterday in the Alexandria corridor
'In Hawaii we employ all the Jap
anese we can get and we cannot get
nearly enough. Until Americans came
and took them away from us they were

keep them and to make things pleasant

Ascot Not Prepared

But no such plan is proposed by the
Ascot people. The annexation PROPOSE
ton came Unexpectedly and they were
not prepared for it. Last year when the
fight was made against Ascot park be-
fore the supervisors, and Ascot was
sustained, 1t was thought that the only
attack to be made this year would be
through the same source, with natural
ly the same result. When the anneXa-
tlon question came up and the shoe .
string strip of land voted in, including
Ascot park as part of the city, it was
little piece of politics which the AS
cotites failed to appreciate.
When the election was finally de-
clared over and the strip annexed, Col
Brooks learned that City Attorney
Mathews would close Ascot park the
first moment he had that right, and
that moment seemed to be a question of
the very near future. A hastily filed in
junction managed to reach the secre-
tary of state before the cehtificate of
election, and that certificate has not
been filed, while the case after the post.
ponement of yesterday will go before
Judge James next Friday. at which time
the attorney general will be present to
fight for the annexation.
According to statements from inter
ested attorneys yesterday, if Judge
James sustains the petition of the AS
cotites and grants a permanent injunc-
tion, then the shoestrlng annexation is
void, but IL, on the other hand, he de-
nies the injunction, then the annexation
or the strip to the city will be declared
and II Will sound the death knell of
Ascot as soon as the city attorney sees
fit to take action.
AT present Ascot is having its way
and enjoying life under the continu-
ances which have arisen in the case.

saw two men in a far-away corner
studying a bit of yellow stone. AS a
great concession / was permitted to
peek, and in tones of awe was in
| formed that it was a canary diamond
worth $1,000 karat.
| The stone is one of three which Mr..
Agate brought with him from New
York. 1t weighs two and half karats
and is valued at $2500. Both the others
were sold yesterday to Los Angeles
jewelers., who bought them to fill or
ders.
Mr.. Agate says Americans will have
none but the best. Do you doubt it?
Whether or not the powers were in
league when they caused man to be
born under the name of Agate and
then made him a stone merchant, his
tory does not reveal, but the fact re-
mains that Henry Agate, who is a ma
tive of johannesburg, South Africa, is
one of family of diamond cutters.
Diamonds have increased in value
30 per cent in the last year, says Mr..
Agate, and he attributes this fact to
the great demand in America for high
class stones, and the limited supply of
fine goods.
Americans want the best and they
will be satisfied with nothing less, -
said he.
I'm Europe you see people wearing
stones that would not be worn here
by anyone. The very best Jewels have
to be sent to America, for the people
will take nothing less. They don't
care what they have to pay for them
