Mikado May
Recall Ambassador Roki

Toxic, Japan.-There are strong
indications that Ambassador Aoki
will be recalled.
There is an inclination to connect
the rumor of his reported coming re-
call with Premier Saionji's audience
with the, Mikado after the Cabinet
Council.
The Daido Club, a new party COM
prising representatives Of the late
Cabinet, adopted a resolution deplor-
ing the Governments dilatoriness and
negligence in the face Of the San
Francisco incidents, and urging a
prompt solution of the difficulty.
The resolution declares that "the ira
ditional friendship and cooperation
of Japan and the United States are
indispensable for the furtherance of
civilization and peace in the Far
East"

PRIZE WON AFTER 48 YEARS
Philadelphia Scientist Gets $1,000
Award For Light Experiments.
DR.. Paul r. Heyl Demonstrates We
locity Of Projection, Using the
Star Algol for Experiments.

Philadelphia, Pa.-A prize of
$1,000 that has been standing for
%forty-eight years to be awarded to
any resident of North America who
should determine by experiment
whether all rays Of light and other
physical rays are or are not trans
mitted with the same velocity has
been won by DR.. Paul R. Heyl, as
sistant in the Department of Chem
Lstry of the Philadelphia Central
High School.
The money was deposited with the
Franklin Institute, of this city, on
March 20, 1859, by Uriah A. Boy
len, in his day an eminent mechan-
Ical engineer of Boston, and the in
stitute has advertised the proposition
monthly rel since.
During this half century twenty
five or thirty essays have been pre-
scented by investigators, but after
careful investigation by a commit
tee appointed in each case none was
found m~eritorious.
DR.. Heyl succeeded in demon
stratirg by experiment that those of
the ultraviolet rays of light for
which glass is transparent. have
the same velocity as the light rays
proper. He reasoned that If the We
locity of these rays were different
they would not arrive from a distant
source at the same time.
For his test he selected Algol, a
well known, variable star in the con-
s~tellation Perseus, as the source OF
light. BY means of a difraction
grating he eliminated all but the ul-
tr%a-violet rays of a known frequency,
and by focusing them on a sensi-
tive plate obtained photographs OF
the star.
After developing the plate the sue
cessive images plainly showed a fad
ing and recovering, and although the
exact location of the minimum
brightness could not be absolutely
determined, the approximate coinci-
dence of the time of the minimum
brightness of the visible and the
photographed rays was obvious.
These tests. we're repeated several
times to eliminate the possibility OF
error and also to take In a certain
range of the ultraviolet rays. The
Investigation extended over a period
of two years.

Guatemala Arms
AGAINST Zeiaya's Invasion.

Guatemala City.-Guatemala IS
arming against the apprehended
Nicaraguan attack by land and sea
and heavy guns are being planted at
the seaports Of San Jose, Champerico
and Puerto Barrios. Troops are
ready to repel an attack from the
Honduran frontier, where President
Zelaya has massed battalions.
Some of the official papers bitterly
attack President Zelaya's bad faith,
declaring that after agreeing a few
weeks ago at Amapala to submit to
the United States any difference with
Salvador, now openly assists the Sal
vador insurgents and menaces Guate-
mala.
President Zelaya's campaign
against Guatemala will fail, but
these continual attacks and menaces
cause a heavy expense to the Guate-
malan Government and visit hard
ships on a community whose business
is paralyzed. Zelaya keeps the whole
of Central America in a ferment,
wherein Me1ico's threatening attitude
toward Guatemala encourages him.

San Franciso.--Mayor Eugene E.
Schmitz, convicted by a jury of the
crime of extortion, asked Judge
Dunno for release on bail until SEN
tence Is pronounced. +,
In refusing bail, Judge Dunno
said:
I'm every criminal case after con.
viction by a jury the defendant is or.
dered into the custody of the Sheriff.
Any other disposition of this de-
PENDANT certainly would have to be
preceded by a proper and formal
showing. That is consideration

ton to waive"
After bail had been denied,

New York City.-James D. Phelan,
former Mayor Of San Francisco. who
has been staying in the Waldorf.

will be asked to take charge again of

"The conviction of Schmitz," said
Mr.. Phelan, "1s the best thing that
has ever happened in San Francisco.
1t means that our beautiful city will
go ahead, r~ejuvenated and rehabili.
tated and fulfil her glorious des.
tiny.
"Schmitz will get ten years on this
conviction. If he gets ten years
apiece on the others his sentence will
total $500 years, and that ought to
hold him for the rest of his natural
life. He will appeal, but the appeal
will avail him nothing. The prompt
action Of the jury in convicting him
on the weakest indictment of the $50
found against him shows that the
evidence of his guilt is as conclusive.

the minds of the. men who know of
his grating methods.
Unfortunately. Schmitz will re.
main Mayor until his appeal has
been decided. Abe Ruef had a law
passed that will bring this about,
but it will save him only for a few
weeks longer. While the corrupt
Board of Supervisors has the ap-
pointment. of his successor, the SUI
pervisors all have indictments over
their heads, and they will appoint
an honest and efficient man because
they can't help themselves.
81 do not want the Office of Mayor
again. There are plenty Of good men
in San Francisco capable of filing it.,
and with Schmitz and Ruef out Of
the way the city ought to get ahead
in leaps and. bounds.
"Ruef in my opinion will get off
with about a. ten-year sentence.
Leniency will be shown him because
Of his services in the prosecution of
Schmitz. He will never again WELD
any power or influence in San Fran
cisco, and for this every decent mar
on the Pacific Coast Is deeply thank
full. .i
