A new all around eating record

records have been made in this city
before, but they have each and all had

miles an hour. Among all the eS-
hibits in the Transportation Building

probably attracted the most atten-
ton. not only because OF the speed

also on account Of its size, its six and
oue-hali-foot driving wheels, being at
that time the largest ever used. At
ter year OF service II was sent to
the Chicago exposition with its origi-
nal gold, silver and nickel trimmings
and mahogany woodwork Today

SEMBRIcH'S FAREWELL.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6,--ln the late
'7Os OF the last century, somewhere
in Poland, poor, pretty gifted child
oi loy, named Marcella KakhansE,
stood at the door Of great opera
house one day for five long hours,
waiting TO hear Patti, The star heard
of this and sent little Marcella kind
note. She did not dream, though, that
the girl to whom she was writing
would replace her on the stage and
enjoy worldwide fame. Yet this was
what happened. For the little Mar
celia became the famous Madame
Sembrieh
Twenty-Five years ago Nine, Sem

Madam Sembrieh's retirement from

another chapter to career that has
been as extraordinary as it has been

people more fortunate than herself.
She was studying to become pianist,

From Poland Marcella Sembricf

SYSTEM AND BEAUTY.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Still another
problem is confronting the committee
Of thirty which recently was appoint
ed to consider the Identification Of
the city by means Of systematic
tree planting campaign. 1t is pointed
out that trees which would thrive in
some localities would be absolutely
worthless in others. There are miles
of streets once bordered by thrifty
trees that today are devoid of shade
of any kind, where the planting of
any of the better varities of hard
wood trees would be folly, it is said,
and where the planting Of any trees
could not be done without great ex-
pense.

cHIcAGo's MORAL TONE.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8-Demand for
state police commission for the city
OF Chicago is made by the Rev. M p
Boynton: "The moral tone Of Chi
cago," he said, is lower than that
for the state at large, at least that
part which is left in the politics Of the
city. We need, therefore, the higher
power Of the state and the use Of
state authority in control Of the po-
lice Of Chicago.

has control Of the cities Police De-
partments therefoe have had notable
advance in solving gave poblems. Il

JAPANESE ATTITUDE
TOWARD US
ARBITRATION TO BE INvoK-
ED IF OUR LEGISLATORS

CHICAGO, Feb. S-The Record
Herald toddy prints the following on
anti japanese agitation from a spec
Fal correspondent at Washington, un-
der date of February 2:
Arbitration is Jspan's solution for
all the questions which may be raised
between that nation and the United
States by the action OF state legisla-
lures on the Pacific Coast.
aThis is Japan's answer to the the
ory that trouble with the United
States is imminent and that even war
would be not unwelcome if the rights
Of the japanese subjects in America
are too far enchoarched upon.
sThe determination Of Japan to
maintain peace and to have none but
an micable adjustment Of all
controversies became more than ever
apparent in official circles here today
when il was disclosed that arbitra-
tion is the policy Of the Japanese gov
ernment.
If. through the action Of western
Legislatures, the treaty rights of Jap
anese shall be violated and the Amer
lean government is not able to en-
force treaty obligations on account
Of the peculiar dual system Of gov
eminent in our country, it is semi
officially announced that the Toxic
government will propose to the Uni
ted States that the questions at issue
Be submitted to the international
court Of arbitration at The Hague
Whether or not the United State:
government would assent to such
submission is another question not tc
Be determined until the need arises
which it is hoped win never be.
at was learned today in diploma
nc circles that the British govern
ment is much alarmed over the fierce
ness Of the anti-Japanese sentimen
rife among the people Of British Col
umbia.

1t seems probabl that the ST.

upon to settle a case involving one
dollars worth Of cake, and that the
government may find the defendant
in a suit to recover equal damages.
What promises to be one Of the most
notable contests in the history Of
queer lawsuits has to do with an Of

this matter has already upset the To-
