Something Of His Record.

going dispatch as probable successor to
Amba ssador Takahira, was an attache
of the legation at Washington in 1885
He was made vice minister of
foreign affairs in 1906, and was
soon after sent to represent his
government as minister to Austria
Hungary. He was born in 1855 and re-
ceived his education at the Imperial Uni
versity al Toxic. He has filed various
diplomatic posts and has executed sew
eral important missions for his govern
ment. He was one of the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries who concluded the treaty
with China regarding Manchurian affairs
and in 1907 he was sent to Rome as spe-
cial ambassador to the Vatican, bearing
an autograph letter from the Japanese
emperor to, the pope.
Has Held Post Twice.
Baron Takahira succeeded Count Aoki
as ambassador to the United States,
which office he assumed in February OF
1908. He was minister to this country
during the Russo-Japanese war, and pre-
vious to this duty he had served as con-
sui general at New York.
Nothing Official Here.
Through Mr.. Hanihara. his secretary of
embassy, Ambassador Takahira today de-
clined to comment on the reports from
Toxic naming Mr. X. Uchida as his prob
able successor at Washington.
Whatever may have been decided in the
case Of the ambassador, nothing has as
yet come to Washington. according to offi-
cial statements at the embassy, to indi-
cate that Mr.. Takahira will not return to
this Mr. Hanfhar8 reiterated tO0ay
what the ambassador said last week,
when rumors were current that he had
been recalled, that 1t had not occurred
and that no intimation had been received
from Toxic to show that it was contem-
plated.
1t is generally expected at the embassy
that frequent publications will be made
on the subject during Ambassador Taxa
hira's stay in Japan.
Mr.. Cchida has had some experience in
Washington Twenty years ago he was an
attache of the legation here. His wife is
a graduate of Bryn Mawr College.

John Goode, affectionately known in
late years as the grand old man of
Virginia. was without doubt at the time
of his death the most conspicuous man in
the state in point of years and honors.
He was the sole survivor of the Virginia
secession convention and the oldest eX-
member of the national Congress. He
also was a member of the Confederate
congress. He had the distinction of be-
ing member of the convention that
framed one constitution for Virginia, and
fifty years later 1901-9 he was presi-
dent of the convention that framed the
present constitution.

The Marines put crimp In Columbia's 6
pennant aspirations yesterday by handing
them the small end OF a 5-to-3 score.

the Sea Soldiers
BerliclI and Haywood both damned the
ball over the right field fence for home
runs. the former performing the feat
twice, which accounted for four OF the
Marines tallies, and took the ginger out
/ OF the Clubmen.
Litz. who served them over for the
Marines. was in tight holes all through
the game and in the early sessions his
support pulled him through. but when II
went back on him in the seventh and
ninth innings. the Clubmen began TO
look dangerous. and might have tied the
score but for a misunderstanding about
the number Of outs in the final inDing,
which resulted in a double play, ending
the game.
In the second inning the Marines regis
tered a home run, two doubles. a single,
and two free transpOrtations, and were
only able to score twice owing 10 some
mighty poor judgment In running the
bases.
