JAPANESE EVENT
HAPPY SUCCESS

Japanese singing native songs, per-
forming on native musical instruments
and giving an exhibition of native fenc-
ing was the novel entertainment pro-
vided last night by the Young Wo-
mems Foreign Missionary society IN
the auditorium of the University or
Southern California for the benefit of
the American schools and hospitals of
Aoyama 10 Gaupin, Japan.
Their wierd, fantastic songs delight
ed the large audience and the fencing
exhibition, though not generally under
stood, was highly appreciated. The
fencers were in native dress, the skirts
coming half way between the ankle
and the knee, and their feet were bare.
From their waist up to their arms
their bodies were protected by pads
and over their heads they wore massive
guards with a heavy wire screen over
their faces Strong leather gloves pro-
tected their hands. The swords were
long bamboo sticks with a gum sub
stance on the end. They kept up the
sible, until one of the sticks was
broken.

native dresses served ceremonial tea in

went to the store he got a stick of
candy.
The grocer is A. L. Colby, whose
store is at 1928 Sunset boulevard, but
two blocks away from the Ward home.
When he got there the child gasped out
his information the best he was able
and the grocer at once picked him up
in his arms and hurried back to the
house with him. When he got there
he thought at first that the girl was
dead
She was pale and senseless in the
middle of the floor. Her hands and
feet were tied with the clothesline,
the rope cutting cruelty into the flesh
and leaving great blue welts on the
white skin.
The gag was tied so tightly that it
had forced her Jaws open to their Wild
est stretch. Her clothing was almost
torn from her body and great bruises
showed on her shoulders, head, hips
and side where the brute had struck
her as she battled with him.
AS quickly as possible Mr.. Colby re-
leased the child from her bonds and
then gave the alarm. A number of
neighbor women answered the summons
and revived her and her mother was
sent for. Word was also sent to the
police station and Detective Bert CoWan
and Dr. E. III. Garrett, police surgeon,
responded.
The girl told the story Of the assault
upon her to the police. She states
that the man, whom she observed walk
ing up and down in front of the house
and whom she believes to have been
her assailant, was about so years Of
age and was dressed in a gray suit
badly worn, that he had a light. strag-
Cling mustache and wore no vest. He
had on black shirt and black derby
hat. Further details of his appearance

Empire State For
Governor Hughes

Judge Joiner lately returned from
a visit to bis old home in New York
state. He reports business condit-
ions excellent in the east and the peo-
pie apparently prosperous and well
content. ''They do not seem to have
so much money as we do out here, "
said he, ''but there is no complaint of
slack business or any indications of
financial stringency." In response to
a question as to presidential senti-
ment in the Empire state the Judge
said: 'The people are well satisfied
with President Roosevelt but they
have no expectation that he will be a
candidate for reelection. They are
enthusiastic supporters of Governor
Hughes in preference to any other
prospective candidate and evidently
are confident that he could be depen-
ded upon to carry out, in his own
way, the general policies which have
distinguished the administration of
President Roosevelt"

San Juan Assessment
Raised By State Board

For purposes of state taxation the
assessment of this county has been in
creased by the state board of equal
ization $66, ,546 over the total
of the rolls as equalized by the county
board The state levy for general
purposes has been fixed at three
mills, which is the consti ia tional limit,
and the same levy has been made for
school purposes. This county will be
required to pay into the state gen
eral fund s., 1893 and the same amount
into the state school fund. For mill
tary purposes only $3.50 is required
and for the state road fund $3.50.
The total levy against the county for
all purposes is $8,7O6. The state
school tax levy last year was 1926
mills. Under the law this levy must
be sufficient, with interest and other
earnings from the permanent school
fund, to produce $40 for each census
school child in the state.
