VIsCOUNT AOKI TAKES LEAV]
Indicates Reasons Why Japan and
the United States Should be
Friendly.

Washington, Dec. 30."-We shall
take back home with us to Japan on
ly the kindliest feeling for America
and for her people and the highest
regard for her institutions,' said
Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambas-
sador. today to an Associated Press
representative just prior to his de-
parture for San Francisco, with
Viscountess Aoki, from which place
they will sail on Jan. 7 for home.
The ambassador returns to Japan at
the instance Of his government,
which desires to consult with him
freely regarding conditions affect
ing japanese interests in America,
notably those relating to the quss-
ton Of Japanese emigration to the
United States. Viseount Aoki has
represented Japan as ambassador 20
the United States for about year
and a half and during that time has
manifested the utmost activity and
interest in matters affecting his coun-
trvmen. He was the first ambassa-
dor accredited to the United States
from Japan. He said today that his
relations with the American govern
ment always had been Of a most
agreeable and pleasant character.
II am confident that an amicable
understanding will be reached in this
immigration question-the only one
of any consequence that is now agl-
tating the people Of the two coun-
tries" said Ambassador Aoki. 81
ann certain that Japan will make ev-
erv honorable concession within
bounds and I feel equally confident
that the American government will
not insist upon anything unreason-
able or that in any way will COM
promise the dignity or the honor OF
the Japanese government. Both gov
ernments are striving to reach an
honorable solution Of the immlgra-
tion question and the latest adv1ces
That we have received from our gov
ernment indicate that the way is
gradually being paved with that end
in view. As I have said again aad
again there is. every reason IN the
world why both countries should
have the most complete understand
ing and continue in most amlcable
relations. Japan is anxious to be at
peace with the world and to no coun-
try does this apply with greater force
than to the United States, to whom
: in a large measure is due Japan's
great rise and progress among the
nations Of the world. It will be my
earnest effort to advance and streng-
then the existing friendly relations
in every way that lies in my power. "

TOMB IS UNLOCKED.
Witnesses Had Testified Coffin Con-
tained Lead-Body Had Been
Buried Forty Three Years.

London, Jan. 2.-The body Of
Thomas Druce, in High Gate ceme-
terry, was exhumed Monday morning,
just 43 years today after its burial.
The coffin was found to contain the
remains Of human body, thus ex-
plodi1g the romantic tale told by Ro-
bert C. Caldwell and others during
the recent hearing Of the Druce per-
jury case that it cantained roll of
Iea.l.
Tie official statement given out by
the home office and others officially
present at the exhumation seems ef-
fective!y to prove that the body bur-
led il 1864 was actually that of T.
G.. Druce. The authorized statement
follows:
'"The coffin was opened and found
to contain the body Of an aged,
bearded man; the plate On the coffin
bore the name, Thomas Charles
Druce.'
The scene at High Gate cemetery
when the vault was opened was re-
markable. All the entrances to the
cemetery were surrounded by cor
tlons Of police. Only those persons
who mad passes from the home office
were admitted to the grounds. George
Hollamby Druce, who claims he is
the rightful heir to the Portland
dukedom and to its vast estate, triel
unsuecessfully twice to get into the
cemetery.
TIE operations began at daybreak
with the removal Of the topmost eof-
fms in the vault, containing the bod
les of the wife and son Of T. C..
Druce. It was nearly half past IL
before the coffin was brought ready
for opening and inspection. The top
vas quickly unscrewed and the in
ner casing Of lead cut open. There
Was no need for the dictum Of the
eminent surgeon, Augustus j. Pep
per, to assure all present that human
remains lay in the coffin.
The Druce vault has thus given up
its secret after 10 years of legal pro-
ceedings, which have cost consider
able fortune. A large part Of this
money was obtained from servant
girls and other workers who we're in
duced to buy shares in a company
formed to prosecute the claims OF
George HBoft ttauby Druce against the
estate Of the Duke of Portland.
The charge Of perjury against Her
bert Druce is effectively disposed OF
and those persons who have sworn to
the placing Of lead instead Of a hu-
man body in the coffin have been dis
credited.

Junta grow.

Marriage licenses were issued the
first of the week to the following;
Frank A. Sinclair and Mary Bender.
both of La Junta; Harvey Skeen and
Anna McAbee. both of Las Animas.
Several additional marriage licenses
were issued. but before the candi-
dates for matrimonial honors would
put up the dough they exacted from
the county clerk a most solemn oath
and binding obligation that he
would not give their names out for
publication. If the legislature
would pass law prohibiting pub
licity as regards marriages. similar
to that concerning hangings in Colo
RADIO. it would probably lust suit
some people. The act of getting
married is no crime. although some
people seem to entertain a suspicion
Of that kind.
