SEOUL, August 29-The rising sun
flag of Japan was today raised over
Korea and His Imperial japanese Ma
jesty was formally proclaimed monarch
of the Hermit Kingdom.
Without demonstration the relin-
quishment Of Korea S individuality was
accomplished and the newspapers of

WASHINGTON, August 29.-The text

to the authorities, and will drag him

swer charges of sending obscene pic
lures and doggerel through Uncle Sam 5
mail
Some time ago Webb created sen,
satlon. almost melting religious riot in
this city, through mailing scandalous
printed matter which attacked the
Catholic priesthood
There was cry of Holy Rollerism
going rampant and, at the time. the
Holy Rollers, so called. were declaim-
ing everything to the devil except their
own elect.
Just how much Holy Rollerism was
to blame, if at all, was never decided,
but the police and the federal author
tiles fastened the indecent picture and
verse proposition on Webb. who was
indicted about the time he skipped the
country
It was not known in what direction
he had made his flight. but soon there
came postal card from Australasia,
addressed to the Honolulu postmaster,
asking that Webb s mail be forwarded.
Either the disagreeable Webb thought
he was not suspected or else he was
more reckless than was good for him.
In any event he must have been very
anxious 20 receive certain mail. \ few
DAYS ago another postal asking for his
mail was received from Indiana.
A federal official, being interviewed
on the case Yesterday. had the follow
ing to say:
E'Valparaiso has been discovered to
be the present abiding place of one
J. J. Webb. Before many moons have
paIed. the Paradise of the Pacific will
be his residence and the cell so I'M
ceremoniously vacated by Anderson
Grace will be given him as an appro-
pirate place wherein to lay his head.
Sheriff Jarrett became aware Of certain
obscene matter being sent through the
mails dealing with alleged practises OF
Catholic priests. Where was Webb
when he was not in Honolulu? During
peri0dical attack of insomnia United
States Marshal Eugene R. Hendry
dreamed that the man wanted was IN
Australia. and while taking vacation

Pratt discovered that the man wanted
was in Senator Fairbanks kuleana, in
