Later luncheon was given at the Shiba palace and the admiral accompanied by his aides walked from the palace to the Shim- bashi railway station. passing along the Ginza, the principle street in Tok- yo, which was massed with people.
 The admiral was recognized and al most mobbed by tens of thousands of enthusiastic people, but everywhere was treated with respect. Thousands sought to shake him by the hand and the ovation lasted the whole length of the street.
 Sperry Deeply impressed.
 The stern old admiral evidently was deeply impressed and at times stopped shaking hands with some in dividuals who speaking English, halt ed him for the benefit of others.
 The admiral said to each T am deeply impressed by the heartiness and sincerity of your welcome to my self, my officers and men.
 "I trust that the friendship now formed will last forever and regret the necessity of bidding you farewell"
 Rear Admiral Sperry was accom- panied by Rear Admirals Schroeder and Wainwright, who with their aides were kept equally busy exchanging greetings.
 The party arrived at the Shimbashi station half an hour before the time set for their departure and took re- fuge from the pressure of the friendly crowd in the waiting room. When the Japanese officials, who were 10 ac- company the American officers to Yo- kohama arrived, Rear Admiral Sperry was invited to enter the carriage again for short drive in order to give the people who arrived late an oppor- tunty for final greeting.
 He consented and when he appeared bedlam broke loose. He was driven a short distance and returned to the station Along the whole route, he was given an ovation such as is i'm possible to be described in words.
 The din was simply deafening.

NEWLAW

Regarding assertions of Judge
Clifford of Tacoma that the state
primary law so far as it refers to
the election of superior judges, is
unconstitutional. Judge KEENAN,
this morning said that the ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the
law has never been attacked in this
district and therefore there was no
occasion for him to question it.
Judge Clifford S doubt arises
through an Interpretation that UNI
der the law the election is prac-
tically complete when the primar-
les are held, and no choice is left
at the November election. The
constitution provides that judges
shall be elected in November.
The primary law provides that
only names equal to the number
of offices to be filed shall be sub
mitted for election as judges at
the general election. leaving the
voter no choice other than to vote
for those names.

FIGHT AGAINST
BIG BREWERS

The legality OF Councilman
Browns proposed ordinance limit
ing the number of saloons to 230
until 1918 and the number of Ii
censes one person might control to
two, was attacked last night by
Attorney H. M. Stephens who rep
resented the B. Schade Brewing
Co., the independent concern
against whom it is believed the or
dinance is leveled in the interest
of the trust brewers. The original
ordinance of this character offered
by Brown was to limit the number
of licenses to 230 until the town has
a population of $50 900, and that
one person, firm or corporation
should not own more than one
license.
Evidently there Is a joker some
where. From reading the substitute
ordinance it is found one passage
says that mo more than two
licenses shall be granted to one
person, firm or corporation, unless
engaged in actual management"
This is taken to mean that cor
pOratiOn which devoteS its time and
