To maintain this action of trespass

standing the dedication it still retained
the right of possession and control of
the locus sufficiently to have the grass
growing thereon remain uncut until it

afford less pleasure to travel through

have exercised control over the park
and improved it, but they did not: The
individual citizens interested in 1t and
entitled to its enjoyment had the right
to improve the park and render 1t more
suitable for the uses for which it was
intended.
1t would hardly be contended that
the defendant could be held in trespass
for raking dangerous rocks from foot
paths over the park, or for removing
unsightly underbrush, or even for cut
ting and destroying weeds and thistles
growing thereon. Wherein is there
distinction in principle between such
cases and the one at BAR
We think the defendant, as one of
the public and an adjoining lot owner,
had right to cut the grass for the sole
purpose of improving the park, and
that he was not a treSspasSer III so DO
ing 1t is suggested that lnconven-
fence may result by reason of some pos
sible conflict in the ideas of those in
terested in the park as to what acts
would improve and benefit It, This is
possible, but we do not think it proba-
BILE that rivalry for its improvement In
fact will exist to the extent of neon
venience. The municipal authorities
may take charge of the park under the
statutory power to make bylaws ana
ordinances 'for the proper protection
and care of public parks and squares.
Should any one unlawfully interrupt
the rightful enjoyment of the park by
others he may be restrained by proper
proceedings.
1t follows that this action is not
maintained and that judgment must be
for the defendant.

out that South America was a favorable
legation would be established in Chile to
promote better relations between both
countries in the matter of trade and
emigration.
The government had been making care
full investigation, which show that Chile
and the Argentine Republic are favorable
to emigration. and wherever. said he. ''our
emigrants are welcomed. the government
will not prevent them going there
1t is believed it will not be necessary

ton and that existing stipulations are
sufficient to protect japanese subjects.

To another question if it would not be
better to send emigrants chiefly to Korea

il was not necessary to limit their desti-
nation. Wherever an opportunity offered
for the promotion of Japanese interests
Japan's energy would be directed there.
At another sectional meeting NJ. Oeshi

Japan should maintain a large military
force and continue military preparations
in the presence of assured peace. like the
present. He also pointed out the fact
burden entailed thereby.

Minister Terauchi replied that even in
European countries. where there was not
the slightest probability of war. no ma
ton retrenches in the matter of its ma
tionai defense. The fullest military equip
ment was the best guarantee Of peace
Japan's armament was not directed
against anybody. but the. nation must
always BE- prepared against eventualities.
