Tour.

Omifujii, one Of a party OF four Jap
anese wrestlers who have been tour
ing the states, passed through here
yesterday on the S. s. Hongkong Maru,
bound home. The champion, Hitcha-
yama, who was one Of the party. has
gone to Europe and viii proceed from
there to Japan via Siberia.
omifuju wrestled at the White
House and said yesterday that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was pleased with the
exhibition though surprised at the yio-
lence of the japanese mat-worx.
Il like America very WELL" he said,
but 1 am homesick- 1 didn't think
that the weather was very cold but
found it colder than in Japan. In my
country we wrestle half naked in the
open air and on that account become
used to severe cold.
In America I wrestled in gymna-
SUM and on that account did not feel
the cold which everyone else talked
about. Hawaii seems to me to be
pretty warm
Omifujii stated that Hitchayama
may make tour of Hawaii and the
Pacific Coast next year. The cham
pion received a guaranty of $1,000 from
here but the letter didn't reach him
before he had made other plans which
could not be set aside.

Her last owners got much pleasure
out of the little craft, cruising De-
tween here and Pearl Harbor. but OF
late senile decay set in and the Lassae
was taken TO the marine railway Tor

making up their minds whether the
craft was worth railway fees, the tide

adrift TO see whether she really would

understanding that all his expenses

a chance to enter one of the big col
