VIII Probably Occur Within 4
Month-New Era for Nation.

Tokyo, Japan, Aug. Emperor
Yoshihito left the palace shortly be
fore noon, proceeding to his for
mer residence at Aoyama. Prior to
leaving he received the premier and
Prince Yamagata, president Of the
privy council, and requested them to
continue their best efforts on behalf
Of the emperor and the country and
to communicate his desires to their
colleagues.
The emperor assembled the throne,
before which had been placed simple
wooden tables. On these reposed the
sacred sword and necklace. The third
of the sacret treasures. the : mirror,
which is deposited in the shrine Of
1se, will be received by the emperor
later. I'D 4.
The imperial and national seals
were taken over by his majesty, who
Immediately arose and, standing, re-
ceived the homage Of the entire as
semblage. This concluded the cere-
5mony. 5.,.. 81 III. ..t Fl:
The date for the funeral Of Mutsu-,
hito has not yet been fixed. Probably,
1t will take place within a month at
Kyoto, where the emperor had ex-
pressed a desire to be buried on the;
site Of Maruyama palace, built by
Hydeoshi In the sixteenth century
Under the household law the public
coronation Of Emperor Yoshihito must
be held at Kyoto. This probably Will
take place about one year hence. All
entertainments will cease for a pro-
tracted period. which SO far has not
been designated.
y "A new era begins, the name Of
which will be announced at once, to-
gether with other details on which the
council of state is engaged. There
Is a possibility that q special session
of parliament will be called for the
purpose OF securing the fullest Co
operation.
1t is not believed that the accession
of the new emperor will change the
situation with regard to the policies
OF Japan. Yoshihito is highly respect
ed by his subjects. s sl
The president received the follow
ing replies to his messages from the
new emperor and the empress dow
ager:
II am deeply touched by your
sympathetic message and offer you
my sincere thanks.

sney, November $29 and December l,

These kilograms were not intro

lated sby. Ford from a code which he
had worked out, and were used by him
ITO refresh the memory Of the witness.
The gist Of the kilograms was an
authorization by Darrow November 20

\ s,ttempt to regain through the courts
the evidence against the dynamiters
which had been captured in Indian

Darrow admitted the exchange Of
kilograms, though he did not identify
those exhibited to him. The conten.
3tionsof the defense has been on the
s.lack OF motive" theory; that before
the Lockwood bribery was committed
Il barrow had made up his mind to
accept the terms Of settlement offered,
and therefore would have no motive
for bribing juror, knowing that the
trial would not go on. The prosecu-
i ton will contend that this offer to
spend $1,000 for the Indianapolis evil
4 dence, made the day after the Lock-
wood bribery, is evidence that Oar
