INTERVIEW WITH
JAPANESE BARON
CONTINUED from page nine.]

Uchida,' 1 suggested, sis the main
characteristic expressive of American
life and customs?"
That is hard for me to say. I am
not receiving my first impression this
time, and having read so extensively
about them as a nation and a people
feel in communion with them myself
almost one of them"
May l ask what you both consider
the prettiest garden spot, excluding
Japan, of the many places where you
have travelled" l inquired.
They thought that Switzerland was
the most beautiful in the world. And
yet t was unjust, in a way to give it
the first place entirely, since it lacked
many wonders of beautiful seascSpes
that some other countries boast.
But Japan has all the natural va
riety of scenery to make it more at
tractive than most lands. There are
rivulets and streams, lakes and for
ests the grandeur of the mountains, the
broad expanse of the sea.
"But I am sure" said Baron Uchida,
that we will see as wonderful and
beautiful scenery in the United States,
as can be seen anywhere in the world.
There are such resources and such I'M
ending stretches Of scenery there. Take
Niagara Falls for instance. Where
can one find more awe inspiring sights
than that?'
oh, now / am on the verge of a
dreadful question Baron and Baroness
Uchida. What do you both think OF
women's suffrage, a question that seems
to be agitating the United States, al
most with the force of a reform wave
Do you imagine that eventually it will
come as far as JAPAN"
The Baron Uchida answered me al
length
ITO tell the truth, we have not given
much thought to the movement he
said. The Japanese women are as
yet so very different from your wo-
mon. In time l think the agitation
may spread to us but it win be a
very long time. We will first see as
we have done in many other thing;
which we have adopted from your peo-
pie" he added naively. how the ex-
pertinent turns out. If satisfactory
why then, certainly we will adopt it,
But with a sudden afterthought, he
turned to me. N
May ask what you think of it?'
| he asked.
'Well Of course, Baron Uchida"
replied, "as you have said, our peo.
pie are very different. And is oul

land women have awakened to a state
of independence hitherto undreamed
Of There are many many women,
of course, who would have no occasion
to vote, but those who have business
interests and are owners of property
perhaps see a necessity to have voice
in public affairs"
Your women said Baroness Uchi-
da, ARE really wonderfully progress
sive, and our women, as well as our
men are adopting western customs
'ery rapidly. In Japan, our men,
those who pay a certain rate of taxes
vote for members of our Parliament,
but our women have not reached that
standard as yet"
Really" added Baroness Uchida
lit amounts to this. There are two
distinct civilizations. that of the East
and that of the West, no vieing with
each other, but each one peculiar to
itself"
well my dear lady" said l, there
Is certainly an evidence of something
in you, if l may be so bold as to say
il, that | am sure is not the result
of contact with Western civilization,
and l must say that in this particular
instance, I am strongly in favor of the
Eastern idea"
"And what is it, that you allude tor
tsked Baroness Uchida.
THE courtesy which you extend to
representatives of the press" replied.
The Baroneses laughed.
Dear me, both my husband and l
have found it is far the best way"
she said, again laughing graciously.
Then l asked what she thought OF
Honolulu.
The first time l saw anything of
Hawaii was in 81 on my return from
college after a stay of seven years
The boat was supposed to have re-
manned only one day button account OF
some trouble we were delayed for
about yeek. And the journey being
half over, l was so desperately home
sick, that l could not tempt myself

now l realize how very attractive Ho-
nolulu is. Today we motored ali over
town and into the country and | was
entranced with the tropic beauty thai
abounds here. We have seen many
countries where Royal palms grow, but
never have we seen such Iuxuriance OF
their development
I'VE shall always have a great in

DECLARE PATR0LMAN CAN
NEVER BE RElNSTATED
Evidence Developed in Chinese Case
Used to Bring About OFF,
GERS Dismissal

It is generally believed at the city
hall and in police circles that Patrol
man Mellon, who was on Monday dls-
missed from the police force by the
board of police commissioners, Will not
make a fight to be reinstated.
The charges against the officer were
filed with the police commissioners In
the shape of a transcript of evidence
in the case of a Chinese who was ar
rested by Mellon and booked upon a
charge or disorderly conduct. Mellon, s
own admissions, made while on the Wit
ness stand, were used against him be-
fore the commissioners. The case
against the Chinese. who was cook in
the employ of E. P. Thorn, was dis
missed by Police Justice Frederickson
after the attorneys for the defense had
developed such revolving facts that the
court did not care to hear more of the
case. At that time the judge censured
the police officer for obtaining evidence
by the use of a youth, who acted as
decoy.
Friends of the dismissed patrolman
declared Monday night that the case
against Mellon had been pressed be-
cause that officer had been active in
procuring evidence of protected vice.
This is denied by those on the other
side, who declare that the evidence in
the form of the sworn statements OF
witnesses in the Chinese case Will be
enough to prevent Mellon ever being
reinstated by any police commission.

OPPOSITION REMAINS
obviously SILENT
Especial TO The Herald

SAN PEDRO. April 7.-Great qui-
etude prevails here on the consollda-
ton question, but the opinion is uni
versal that it is but the lull before
the storm. With the Los Angeles press
booming the consolidation sentiment IN
both cities and the local sheet Voicing
the sentiments of the anti-consolida-
tionists, the Los Angeles committee of
fifteen organized and about to make
an inspection of the harbor, and with
the local committee of the board of
trade organized and unitedly working
for certain concessions before the ques-
ton is put to the vote of the people,
the only apparently inactive but in
terested party is the machine and sa-
loon controlled opposition represented
by the chamber of commerce. Its new
executive committee of nine is COM
posed of five recognized public utility
agents, the five who supported Savage
in his two thirds amendments to the
consolidation bill.
After the authorized published state
ment of the new secretary of the cham
Der it was expected that some steps
would be taken to advance the opin-
ions of the entire anti-consolidation
board. but aside from the "exact fact"
gan the voice of the interests has not
yet been raised to combat the voice
of the people.
With the knowledge, however that
the citizens here have of the former
methods of the machine. it is not sup
posed that the fight is over by any
means. at is admitted that something
is going to be sprung, as one citi-
zen expressed it today, and the indi-
cations are that before the election IS
even called the political pot will be
boiling to an alarming extent.
