JAPAN PROTESTS AGAINST
PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
First Official Objection in Form
of Letter from Consul.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. r.
Japan's first official protest against
proposed anti-Japanese legislation in
this States comes in the form of a
letter from Consul-General Matsuzo
Nagai, at San Francisco, to Senator
Leroy Wright, chairman Of the Senate
committee on Federal relations.
The letter contains figures support
ing the consul's contention that the
Japanese population on the Pacific
coast Is steadily decreasing.
The writer gives a reminder that
Japan has voluntarily enforced regu-
lations which practically amount to an
exclusion act applied to h Japanese
Iaborers. The letter concludes with a
reference to pending negotiations for
the revision of treaties between the
United States and Japan.
Among the anti-Japanese bills al
ready before the Legislature is one
providing against the holding of land
in California "by aliens not eligible to
be citizens of the United States" 1t
is learned also hat a bill for the segre-
cation of Japanese school pupils is to
be introduced.

WRITES PRESIDENT,
PRAISING STAND
ON PANAMA CANAL
Geo. ". Da Cunha, of Montclair,
Also Communicates With Cabi=
net, Senators and Congressman.

George w. DaCunha, of Upper Mont
clair, has sent letters to President Taft,
Vice-President Sherman. to every mem
Der of the cabinet and every senator
and congressman in the country com
mending the stand taken against forth
flying the Panama canal and urging
Congress not to grant the foundation
charter to the Rockefeller fund.
A copy of the letter follows;
THE stand taken against the fortify-
ing of the Panama canal is sound from
a military point OF view.
THE army marches on its belly.
And the belly has much to do with
the defense Of a city or town, fortified
or not. Forts can be constructed
around a town that cannot be taken by
assault. For instance, Port Arthur,
Nicksburg, Petersburg, not to mention
many others, where starvation sue
ceeded when assaults failed. Never
theless, a fortified towns main defense
is in the field. If you cannot defeat
the enemy in the open, either on sea
or land, YOU are beaten General Lee
appreciated this from the commence
ment Of the struggle and defended
Richmond by keeping in the open until
forced to retire behind the works of
Petersburg. The next best thing to dc
il the canal is not to be .neutralized is
to spend the money required for forti-
fications in building more Dread
noughts. They can be moved for de-
Tense to any point on the coasts of the
Atlantic or Pacific.
"A reminder:
"The Standard Oil Rockefeller Com
pany is again before you asking for
that foundation charter in an amended
form. 1t is the same rose. If granted
it will convert the District of Column
bia and the territories of the United
States into safe deposit vaults for the
Standard Oil Company, safe from moth,
rust or tax collectors, as the buildings
and holdings of the foundation are Ia
be free from taxation. 1t will be a
precedent and a bad one, no matter in
what shape or form. Granted, there
can be no excuse for refusing 1t to
others.

On their real estate they claim over

Remarkable SWORN Statement
OF A new BRUNSWICK

Have sold your Swamp-Root for
twenty-eight years and have known its
valuable curative qualities for the past
twenty years. For kidney, liver and

and cure. Right in my own household
Swamp-Root cured my wife of catarrh
of the bladder. while it cured me of liver
and bladder troubles.
Numerous cases have come under my
personal observation, which has made
me very enthusiastic about recommend
ing DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to anyone
suffering from kidney, liver and bladder
troubles, and I have the greatest conf

any customers who have given DR.. Kill

SERVICE
ON KINNEY LINE
PROMISED BY co.
Corporation Agrees to Improve
Its Service by Addition
of Cars.

The Public Service Railway Company
received several solar plexus blows at
the hands of Richard c. Jenkinson
today at the hearing conducted by the
committee on streets and highways of
the Board of Works, with regard to The
"disgraceful' conditions prevailing On
the Kinney street line. In addition to
the city, and hat the company was
not living up to it's agreement in run
ming the cars, and in using modern
cars, Mr.. Jenkinson stated that unless
there was a marked Improvement in
the service he would AXE the matter
to the courts where justice would be
given to the citizens. Mr.. ~Jenkinson
already has put the matter in the
hands of a law firm, has collected a
mass of evidence showing the manner
in which the road Is run, and said
that II he canno get some public
spirited citizens to help him fight the
battle he will conduct it himself.

about 500, 900 worth of real estate along

on account of the bad service given
by the company.

the company, and Newton w. Bolan,

as spokesman for his company. Whel
the meeting adjourned Mr.. Danforth
who admitted that the line was bad,
promised to put on more cars during
the rxsh hours.
additional cars on the road starting
from Market and Washington streets
and going west, Inc as a further re-
lief every other car will run through
to it's destination below the Pennsyl-

turn the loop al the station Mr.. Dan
forth admitted that this was only a
temporary relief and offered no sugges-
ton as to what the company would do
in the future. He was asked by the
members of the Board of Works to put
new style double-truck cars on the
road, but said it was not within his
power to do so and that he had to con-
serve the interests of the stockholders
of the company.
Mr.. Danforth thought that it is not
good business to discard a certain car
Just as soon as the style changes, and
said that cars differed from women's

He TAUGHT HER
ROWING AND SHE
TAUGHT HIN Love
Lake HOpatcong Summer Ro'
nance Will eliminate in
Marriage This Month.

A courtship begun four years g on
Lake Hopatcong will terminate in Pat
erson on the 22d of this month, when
Alexander Lowits, of 26 Thirteenth ave-
nue., this city, and Miss Bertha Levy.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. julius Levy,
of 213 Carroll street, Paterson, are
welded in the Hebrew School auditor
ium, Broadway, Paterson.
In the summer of 1906 Alexander Lo-
wits, who is a local merchant, spent his
vacation at Lake Hopatcong. While
there he met Miss Levy, who taught
school in Haledon. and lived in Stan
hope, two miles above the lake. The
couple met often on the lake, and both
being fond of canoeing became fast
friends. MI. Lowits's fortnight's stay
at the resort ended with a firm resolve
on his part to cultivate the friendship
of the pretty school teacher whom he
had taught to paddle.
Uncle Sam reaped a rich harvest in
postage stamps for two years, until
Miss Levy's family moved to Paterson,
and after that the young merchant be-
came a steady patron of the railroads
and trolley cars going into that city.
Although the vacations following the
one in 1906 were not all spent at Hopat-
cong the couple nevertheless managed
to go where there was a lake and good
canoeing.
Question Popped Last Fall.
The question was not popped" until
last fall, following the marriage of Mr..
Lowits's sister, Miss Rose Lowits, to
DIR. Buka, a well-known Pittsburg ply
stefan.
1t is said by those intimate with the
couple hat the whirlwind courtship
of the Pittsburg medicus and his local
school teacher bride gave the neces-
sary impetus to the summer-time ro-
nance Of Mr.. Lowits and Miss Levy,
and it was soon after the honeymoon
of his sister that Mr.. Lowits's engage
ment was announced.
Mr.. Lowits is prominent in the
mercantile field of this city and has
lived in Newark many years. He is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Lowits.
Couple VIII Live In Newark.
The wedding ceremony will be per-
formed by the Rev. DIR. Monheimer, of
Paterson. The best man will be DR..
