Twenty Thousand Of Them at Mass
Meeting Wildly Cheer Propo-
sition Of Starting the
Fight.
ORATORS WERE FIERY
Alien Land Bill Of California Is Stir
ring Them up to Fever Pitch
and May Bring
Trouble.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.J
TOXIC, April 1S.-Without excep-
tion the responsible newspapers OF
Japan today ridiculed and tried to
pass of as joke the historical mass
meeting of last night, in which 10000
persons wildly cheered demand for
war against the United States, should
the alien land bill in California be-
come law.
For days the TOXIC press has de-
voted columns to the proposed alien
law and the mass meeting was large
ly spontaneous affair, addressed by
orators affiliated with no particular
organization.
The speakers all condemned the
Japanese government for ''its spine-
less" attitude as severely as they pro-
tested against California's proposed
action. When one spokesman, more
radical than the rest. demanded war.
he was cheered for several minutes,
but the newspapers and officials of
Japan today tried to give the impress
sion that no significance should be
attached to the demonstration.
Japan and Mexico.
WASHINGTON. April 1s.-Japan
and Mexico are hourly becoming
more insistent problems to be met by
the present administration. The de-
velopments in both nations are re-
ceiving especial attention from Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan But the situation is very much
complicated by the fact that this gov
ernment has only acting heads for
its diplomatic corps In both countries.
The ambassador to Japan, 1arz An
derson, is in this city, instead OF
Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mex
leo would have been accepted long
ago were 1t not that his successor
would have to be accredited to a gov
ernment not yet recognized by this
country.
The news Of numerous anti-Ameri.
can meetings throughout Japan has
simply emphasized to President Will
son that the condition he has feared
has arrived He made it very plain
in talking over the pending legisla-
ton In California that the chief dam
ger so far as this country was con-
cerned would be popular agitation
which might result in anti-American
outbreaks. But the president holds
that California is privileged to enact
whatever legislation she may desire
and it is known that he has been fiat
ly told by the higher authorities that
he has consulted that the Mongolian
problem on the Pacific slope is fully
as great as the negro problem in the
south.
The president, however, Is endeav-
oring to get new ambassador at
Tckio at once. He wants man there
on whom he can depend. Friends OF
George w. Guthrie, former mayor OF
Pittsburgh, and chairman of the Penn
sylvania state democratic committee.
have been insistent that he be sent
there Guthrie was originally the
presidents choice for ambassador to
Mexico but there is little likelihood
CT this latter post being filed for
months. The president has under con-
sideration other names of men who
might be drafted.
The administration realizes there
will be new law enacted by Cali
fornia which will prohibit aliens own
ing land and will also break the
monopoly on the fishing industry now

DANBURY FAIR GROUNDS
Larae Addition Built to the Big
 GrandStand.

Anticipating one of the largest at tendances in the history of the Dan bury Fair this year COct- 7-11) the directors of the Danbury Agricultural society have built an extension to the present grandstand in order to ac- commodate the crowds. Last year on two days of the fair the grand stand, although seating 5000 people, proved entirely too small to accom- modate the crowds who sought ad-
 nittance to witness the features on the track, and as a result it was nee essary to send away and procure DOT table bleachers which were installed on the south side of the grandstand, seating several hundred people.
 This year the directors of the fair have discounted this lack of accom- modation of the crowd by erecting an addition one hundred feet in length, which is expected to take care of the excess crowd of the two heaviest days of the fair.
 The horse show which was inaugu- rated last year proved popular even beyond expectations and this interest on the part of the public will un- doubted1y be continued this year. Nu- merous new features which will make the Danbury Fair of 1918 even more attractive than ever are contracted fOr.-Adv.

PLAZA THRONGED WITH
 PLEASED FIRST NIGHTERS

One glorious success from the overture to the exit march charac- terizes the bill' at the Plaza for the first three days of this week. The theatre was crowded to capacity last evening with enthusiastic auditors who fairly went into ecstacies over every turn on the well balanced pro- gram.
 The big number was the Porto Rico Girls, g. stellar aggregation of expert dancers and fine singers and it made g. big impression on the first night audience. Their songs are tuneful and catchy and their dancing num- bers are par excellence. Eight pretty "darky'' girls with Davis & Salisbury, the well known pair, all handsomely attired in costumes that were in keep ing with the nature of the act, vouch- es well for a big week
 Harry Rose simply kept the house ir roars of laughter. His entrance was enough co prepare one for the series of laughs that were sure to fol- low. He possesses a silVery voice of very high range and sIve ir;Iitations of famous singers. He was forced to respond to several encores. His many screamfngly funny characterizations of the effeminate type of man and his never-ceasing batter were respon- sibIe for roars of laughter.
 Estelle Churchill has g. very pleas ing diversion in which she scored heavily last evening. Miss Churchill is an exquisite piano player and has very pleasing voice. All her numbers were highly appreciated especially her closing number, consisting of the playing of various sorts of drums in a truly commendable fashion. The manner in which she handles a snare drum was the source of no little won derment. One of the cleverest and funniest acrobatic acts ever seen here avs that presented by Lockhart and Leddy, "A Brave Attempt at Suicide" The Turner's in a, novelty roller skat- ing act that went big complete the vaudeville program.

AMUNDSEN'S DEATH
 WAS ACCIDENTAL,

Coroner Phelan yesterday filed find ing in the death by e1ectrocution of Carl V. Amundsen, Stamford, who was found to have accidentally touch ed a live pantagraph of an engine partly within and partly without the roundhouse doors at that city on Sep tember 14. Much evidence was pro- duced tending to show that while the power had been shut off below the roof, one pantagraph had been left touching the wires above.
 In an attempt to loosen a chain the deceased, long acquainted with cleo trical work had climbed to the roof unbelznown to his fellow workers. He there came in contact with the cur rent. Coroner Phelan in his finding recommends:
 While I am of the opinion there was no probability of danger to the deceased in performing his task, in view of his knowledge and experience, earnestly suggest that until all pantagraphs be perfectly secured and the engine and whole be made Tdead' no workman hereafter be permitted to make repairs on such electrical en- gineS.''

SENSATIONAL BICYLISTS
 HEAD BILL AT POLES

With the Kaufman Troupe of whirl- wind bicycle riders and the live wire team of Morr1ssey and Hackett, the bill at the New PoIfs this week makes a fair bid to outdo any other per formance offered at this theatre since the opening of the season a
 The Kaufman troupe, four women and two men, are considered the best of their kind upon the variety stage. In ensemble numbers displaying many odd and novel formations they win wonderful applause. Especially clever is the youthful MT. Kaufman who can almost make his wheel talk. This young man finds that perform ing seTningly impossible stunts upon a bicycle is the simplest possible thing. f Perhaps the brightest duo to ap-; pear here in talk and song this sea- son is the team of Morrissey and Hackett- Miss Hackett has that win ming way which gets her there before she even starts to say anything. Their line of talk about their travels around the world is rather clever. The two sing well, too.
 Arthur Whitelaw pulls many inter esting quibs about his doings and has good fund of puns. His rendition of the ''Top O the Morning., a pathetic Irish recitation, won him in stant favor.
 The Reed Sisters, acrobatic danc- CTS, are known all over Ine country as a classy act. They dance all the ballet steps and esthetic figures until at the end they merge into the eccen- tric and finish with comedy dancing,
 Hall and Menzies are an English couple who arrived in America only last week. They work their way into favor by making something new out of the overworked stage Suhragette. With their English drawl, they pulled through in clever order.
 If Aaron and Freeman would in fuse a little more dancing and less chatter into their act they would have gone better with the first nighters. The boys can step well but their jokes can be very much improved upon, With the suggestion, they might get away with it.

 some hard substance, where the i'm | jury is not sufficient to produce an opening in the skin. Generally, some of the blood vessels beneath the skin are broken or ruptured, which allows the blood to escape beneath the skin. This produces the well known black and blue marks.
 Pierced or punctured wounds are produced by daggers bayonets and sharp-pointed instruments also bullets from reVolVers and rifles. Usually the openings in the skin are small, but the wound itself is quite deep, and important blood vessels and vital or ganS may be injured. The danger from such wounds depends upon whether large blood vessels or some important internal organ has keen seriously injured as to interfere with it's function Inflammation and blood poisoning frequently follow, and the shock to the nervous system is usually severe Results are often ia tai.
 Poisoned wounds are the result of the bites of Venomous reptiles animals and insects, where there has been in jected through the skin into the tis- sues some poisonous virus peculiar to the reptile, animal or insect.

Hinton, w. Va, Sept. 23--Gowned In a dress Of rthe latest daring mode, with the slit extending down the back in stead of the front or side, Miss Mamie Wheeler gave this staid old town a lively time yesterday.
