COAST MEN HOLD
FINAL MEETING IN JAPAN
Resolutions Are Adopted Urging For
mutation of Plan to Increase
Commerce of Both
Nations

TOXIC Nov. 9.-The delegation of
business men from the Pacific coast
who have been for several weeks past
looking over the present condition OF
Japan, at the invitation of the japanese
commercial and business organizations,
today held their final meeting prepara-
tory to returning to their own coun-
try.
The meeting expressed the attitude of
the American business men toward
Japan in resolutions which were
adopted and read in part as follows:
Whereas, The friendship and good
will of the people of the empire of
Japan toward the citizens of the United
States is unquestioned, and
Whereas, The trade relations OF the
two countries can and ought to be
strengthened. Be 1t
Resolved That some plan should be
adopted whereby the commerce of the
two countries may be increased and the
friendship of the Japanese and Ameri-
can people made perpetual.
Speaking to the Associated Press, f.
w. Doehrmann of San Francisco SAID
the visit of the Pacific coast men to
Japan had been an unqualified success
in every way, and that 1t would un-
doubtedly result in the establishing of
better understanding between the
two countries and vast improvement
in trade relations and trade itself
Mr.. Doehrmann said he voiced the
sentiments of every member OF the del
egation when he said the views of each
man of them had undergone a change
since coming to Japan. He especially
praised the courtesy of the Japanese
merchants and officials, who have done
everything in their power to facilitate
the closest investigation of present con-
ditions in Japan.

ALLEGED BOY
BURGLAR SHOT
CHINESE LAD WOUNDED BY
AWAKENED CITIZEN
ANOTHER FLEEING CELESTIAL
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
North Alameda Street Resident Claims
He Was Aroused and Found Two
Persons Attempting to
Rob His Home

Henry Lee, sometimes known as Lee
Sing, young Chinese boy, was shot
and wounded in the left side at 10:30
o'clock last night by Paul Volsin of
726 North Alameda street. Voisin al
leges that he detected Lee in an at
tempt to bugglarize his house. The
boys wound is not dangerous.
Voisin, who is living in the house
with a woman of the name of Liza
Morales, was awakened by a noise in
the front room. Securing a revolver
he went into the room In time to see
a man climb from a front window. A
second person in the room was pre-
vented from escaping by the window
dropping down, and before he could
raise 1t Voisin had fired at him. The
bullet struck the boy near the base of
the tenth rib and ranging around 1t
four inches lodged under the skin.
Grabbing the boy by the wrist Voisin
covered him with the revolver until the
arrival of the police, who had been
attracted by a whistle blown by the
Morales woman.
AS they came up to the house they
captured WI Fong running away from
the place. Patrolman Hartnagle and
Mellon, who responded to the alarm,
took the two Chinese to the police sta
tion and booked them on suspicion. The
bullet in Lees side was removed by
Drs. Quint, Garrett and Wiley.
Lee tells an entirely different story
from that related by Voisin. He states
that he was passing the house, heard a
whistle blow and saw two men running
from the place. He says he stepped
toward the window TO see what was
going on then Voisin ran at him from
the door, shot him and dragged him
into the house.
The wounded boy, who is a native
born Chinese, gave his address as Sher-
man and said he was a pupil in the
Macy grammar school. He denied en-
phatically the statements of Voisin,
and also stated that he had never seen
WI Fong before he was taken to the
police station with him.
The police will make a further in
vestigation of the affair today. Mean
while they are holding a lot of cloth
ing and jewelry which had been taken
fronnaa trunk in Voisin's room and put
up u a package preparatory to being
carried away.

QUITS GRIND
TO PLAY WITH SCIENCE
Famous inventor Proposes Henceforth
to Avoid Commercialism and ln-
vestigate Only Things That
Attract Him

NEW YORK, Noy. S.-Thomas A.
Edison has begun to crafty an ambi-
ton he has cherished many years, and
the laboratory at Llewellyn, N. j., Will
see comparatively little of him hence
forth.
Mr. Edison's ambition has been to
give himself a rowing commission into
pure science and to steer clear OF COM
mercialism. He doesn't want to in
crease his fortune. He has got $25'-
100000, which he thinks is more than
enough.
All of his life he has been turning
out money-making inventions. He VIII
devote his remaining years to investi-
eating anything that strikes his fancy,
without regard to it's financial produc-
tiVeness.
It was learned yesterday, and the
fact is here made public, probably for
the first time, that the man who has
achieved so many marvels in electricity
has a greater love flor chemistry than
electricity. Chemistry was the first
science to captivate his wonderful in
tellect, but he has never had a chance
ia dig as deep into it's mysteries as he
wanted 80. Now he proposes 10 give
himself the chance.
Moreover, he is going to, take life
more easily. He has promised his
family and friends to give UP shaving
night and day, Sunday and holidays in
his laboratory. Not only that, but he
Is going to take jaunts about and see
something of the rest of the world. He
has bought a place in Florida, where
he will spend couple of months in the
late winter and early spring next year,

WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN
DIES AT FAMILY HOME

Death yesterday claimed DR.. William
Hill Grafton at the family residence,
637 st. Paul avenue. DR. Grafton had
resided in Los Angeles for three years
and was so years old.
Although retired, he was we'll known
in the east as a practicing physician,
and was graduated from the University
of Maryland, being honor man in the
class of 1849. For two years he was
resident physician of Bellevue hospital,
New York. and later he had practiced
medicine in Des Moines, Dubuque, Dem
yer and Cambridge, Iowa. In the lat
ter state he resided many years.
DR.. Grafton is survived by six chill
dren--Edward L., Albert X. and Eu-
gene II. of the Grafton company, pub
fishers of the West Coast Magazine,
and William d. and Francis McAIenry
OF Bonner, Mont, and Mary Grafton of
Los Angeles.

DR.. Hibbard of Pasadena preached
yesterday morning at Christ Episcopal
church on "Divine Healing" Last
night Rev. Baker P. Lee, the rector
preached on the same subject giving
personal experiences of the help in hu-
man life.
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock DR..

win pay, in both morals and dollars
and cents"
That the voter Is following these in
stfuctions is evidenced by the fact that
men are eagerly signing the petitions
in circulation asking the trustees to
call an election that the city may be
divided at Fifth street, hus allowing
the northern portion TO go into Los
Angeles first and the southern portion
to follow as soon as possible there
after.
Women Enthusiastic
Interest in the matter is intense.
Women meet the committeeman and
beseech them to see their husbands
that they may have a chance to sign.
Many men are willing to sign and do
so who have not yet been registered,
or perhaps are not entitled to vote,
but who own property and ought to
have chance to express their ap-
proval of the proposition.
Great care is being taken that every
name on the petitions is correct, and
the signer a duly qualified elector,
entitled to have his say.
Already the large number required
to make a majority, as figured from
the last municipal election, has been
reached, and probably a hundred addi-
tional names are there to swell the
TOTAL; but the aim of the committee
is to give every voter in the city a
chance to sign the petition, and to this
end a systematic canvass of the town
is now being made and marked sue
cess being obtained.
Whether the petitions will be pre-
sented to the trustees at the next
meeting Tuesday afternoon cannot be
learned. but it is believed that If the
petitions have been finally checked up
bu that tfTna fbau will ba submitted
although no great haste in the matter
is necessary, as the situation is
strengthening every day, and many
who were against the proposition at
first are now among the most ardent
supporters.

TURIN, Nov. S.-The Duke of the
Abruzzi in a conversation today jol1-
ingly said he would not go to the
United States, or on q cruise, because
the battleship Regene would not be
under his command on her next voy-
age. This confirms the oft-repeated
statement that the duke would not
take command until his promotion as
a rear admiral. One Of the dukes
friends said today that seven chances
out of ten were favorable to the mar
riage of the duke to Miss Elkins, but
there were still three against it.

Cleans Blood by Restoring Proper Action of Kidneys and Overcomes all Rheu- matism.

All medical authorities are agreed that the blood is the great source of disease or of health m the human sys- tenn. If the blood is pure. the indi- vidual is strong and healthy; if the blood is impure or diseased then there is sickness or decay in the whole sys- tenn.
 Rheumatism is strictly a blood dis ease. It is caused by excessive uric acid. Sores, pimples. etc. mean bad blood. Catarrhal affections must be treated through the blood to get per rnanent results. To get well. to feel strong hearty and vigorous one must have good clean blood and lots of it. You can't clean the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active Bad blood means clogged. inactive kid neys and liver which causes. too. such symptoms as backache. nervousness. bladder and urinary difficulties and other sympathetic troubles.
 Here is a simple home remedy and the recipe for making it up Is as fol- lows:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce. Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. The in gredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at small cost.
 Here the readers of this paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blood kidney and bladder diseases which should re- iieVe rheumatism and catarrhal affec- tions and replace that weak. worn -out indifferent feeling with strength. vigor and health.
