1t has already been stated that last year
was Cock year: and It may only be ad-
ded that since "a cock on a drum be-
came symbolical of peace and prosperity,
cock year" is considered lucky, And,
as one contemplates the events Of the past
year, and reads the reports OF extraordl-
nary good crops, he cannot deny that peace
and prosperity appeared to Japan last
cock year.
The year 1910 would he called Ka-no-e,
lnu no toshi or natural metal. dog year,
by the old calendar, in which, however,
il does not really begin until February 10.
and will run over into January, 1911. The
dog has been immortalized in Japanese
story by his connection with the famous
Momotaro in the successful expedition
against the devils. He has also a prom
inent place in japanese literature through
Bakin's famous novel. entitled "Hakken-
den" or STORY of Eight Dogs" This
enormous work" as Aston styles It mar
rates the adventures and exploits of eight
heroes OF semi-oanine parentage' who
represent the eight cardinal virtues. The
dog also figures extensively in japanese
folklore, where his better side predom-
mates and he renders valuable assistance
TO mankind, Especially the papier-mache
dog is the perpetual protector OF little
children, and. when hang above their
heads, makes them stop crying."

said local photographer one day last

q the face and altogether give a less
harsh and more even cast of expression
while all signs Of unshavenness can be
eliminated by a few strokes OF the re-

wrinkle on mans face. Some OF these
can be painted out but IL too much re-
touching is done the result is TO take away

This day is called in English by the

days of each month had numerical names.

'FLANNERY' FUSS
READY FOR AIRING
Trial of Saloon Politician Begins
Before Judge Lennon in
San Rafael Today

The trial of Harry P. Flannery, for
mer president of the San Francisco po-
lice commission, on a charge of grand
larceny will begin tomorrow morning
in Judge Lemons court in San Rafael
Further investigation of the Sausalito
poolroom cases by the Marin county
grand jury has been postponed until
later, and it is probable that the grand
jury will not meet again until after
the conclusion of the Flannery trial.
District Attorney Boyd and Sheriff
Taylor of Marin county have been Civ
ing their attention to gathering up
loose ends of corroborative evidence to
be used in connection with the Flan-
merry trial, and the evidence that will
be brought out is expected to go a
good ways beyond that outlined before
the grand jury prior to the returning
of the indictment. Boyd has admitted
that he has considerable evidence on
hand that was not used before the
grand jury and several surprises are
looked for when the taking of testi-
mony begins.
WOULD IMPEACH ABBOTT
James F. Lawler, a San Rafael
saloon keeper and former prize fighter,
made the declaration yesterday that he
had given Attorney Frank Gould, a
member of Flannery's counsel, an affi-
davit concerning conversation he
claimed to have had with Joe Abbott,
chief witness for the prosecution, a
week ago yesterday. According to
LAWYERS statement his testimony
would be used to impeach Abbott, as
he claims that the latter practically
assured him that his testimony before
the knowledge and consent of Flan-
merry.
Gould, however, directly contradicted
Lawler yesterday. He declared posi-
lively that he had not secured any af-
fidavit from LAWYER. and that if any
was in existence he knew nothing of
1T. State Senator E. B. Martinelli of
San Rafael, another member of Flan-
nery's counsel, also said that he knew
nothing of any affidavit and that Law
lers declarations were news to him.
Gould did not say that he had not had
talk with Lawler, but after denying
the latter's statement regarding the
affidavit refused to discuss the matter
further.
While containing no direct charges
concerning Abbotfs admissions, Law
ler's account of what passed between
himself and Abbott amounted to a
charge of implication that the latter
had made his confession to the Marin
county authorities without regard to
fact and simply to save himself. after
having had conversation with Elan
merry.
ALLEGED ADMISSION
Il was in garage here last Mon
day when Abbott came in with a
couple of guards" said Lawler. THAT
was just after he left the Jail, and
Mrs. Abbott was with him. He shook
hands with me and said Well, Jim
how do the boys think that l treated
them?' l told him it was all right and
we had quite a conversation without
the detectives overhearing u.s.
Lawler said that Abbott had re-
marked, 'MacSherry wasn't very wise
If he had followed my example he
would be all right. I had a talk with
Flannery before 1 told them ANYTHING
and he told me to do whatever
wanted to do and it would be all
right. He said for me to go as far as
liked"
Lawler declared yesterday that as

Kahn Presents Resolution Re-
questing President to Invite
World to Exposition
ISpeoiol Dispatch TO The CALI

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Representa-
tive Kahn today introduced a joint res
olution requesting the president to in
vite the nations of the world to partici-
pate at an international exposition to
. be held at san Francisco in 1915 to
commemorate the opening of the Pan
anna canal
The resolution was Immediately re-
ferred to the committee on foreign af-
fairs and a hearing viii be granted the
California exposition delegation before
that committee on either Wednesday or
Thursday
Senator Perkins will introduce the
same resolution before the senate to-
morrow.
A poll OF the house viii be made to-
morrow or Wednesday to determine
how congress lines up for the San
Francisco exposition. II is said that,
with the exception of the Louisiana and
some southern congressman, the entire
house is pulling for San Francisco
Data secured by Representative Kahn
viii practically put New Orleans out of
the race, he says, and leave San Fran
cisco without competitor for the big
snow
Kahn has prepared an article show
ing that an exposition was held at New
Orleans in 1884 for which the govern
ment appropriated sl,350.000 and gave
q governmsn exhibit The whole af
fair was a miserable failure and the
government was obliged to throw good
money after bad by appropriating $780,,
600 in order that New Orleans could
purchase medals for the various ex-
hibits made by foreign countries and
thus keep its pledge.
The appropriation of $l,350,000 was
made in the form of loan and New
Orleans still owes the government an
unpaid balance Of $1,000, 900 on the ex-
position
II is expected that Kahn's resolution
viii be pushed through this session and
Immediately after it is adopted efforts
TO secure a government appropriation
and exhibit viii be made.
