ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, May 22.-When the
news of the sudden illness of the
emperor of Japan reached Washing
ton today, the president and Secre
tarN of State Bryan expressed deep
concern. Charge Bailly Blanchard,
OF the American embassy at Toxic,
was Cabled Immediately TO convey q
message OF sympathy to the Japanese
government and the president sent Il
personal message to the emperor. 1t
is regarded here as possible that the
emperor's illness may delay the nego-
tiations now in progress relating to
the California land law.
There were no developments today
in the negotiations either at the state
department or the japanese embassy.
The attitude is one of waiting for the
next word from Toxic 1t was learn
eG that up to the present stage no
formal suggestion has come from
Japan that the American naturaliza-
ton laws should be amended 70 ad-
nit japanese to citizenship in the
United States.
The records OF the state department
fail to show that such request has
been made by any other country. Of
ficials here insist that the status of
citizenship that may be conferred by
Il state legislature in its exercise of
its sovereign rights, upon amy indiv-
idual or class it may please. is some
thing that must not be determined as
q right. and it is further pointed out
that the United States has entered
into no naturalization treaties de-
signed to benefit American residents
in other countries.

Create Stringency

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Senator
Smoot presented to the senate today
the records of the American Bankers
association to answer the statement
made by Senator Thomas of Colo
rado, several days ago that the cause
of the panic after the passage of the
Wilson bill in 1898 was the calling in
of loans by bankers throughout the
country to secure the repeal of the
silver purchase clause OF the Sher-
man law. Senator Thomas had read
the unsigned circular and magazine
article which asserted the circular
was issued by the American Bankers
association, urging bankers to retire
one-third of the silver certificates and
to call in half of their loans to bring
about a money stringency.
Smoot read a letter from Fred f.
Farnsworth, the general secretary of
the American Bankers association in
reply to a letter written him imme-
diateIy after Senator Thomas had
made his speech in the senate. Farms

to by Senator Thomas was

fifteen months before he made the
speech and that in all the time since

else.
In a speech to the senate this week
Senator Thomas said he had attempt

begun long before the Wilson bill be-
came a law and that it was pre-

the silver purchase act TO be wiped
off the statute books - He continued
to declare his belief that the banking
interests were responsible for the
panic. Does the senator believe the

BABY DIST IGURED
 WITH ECZEMA
From Head to Foot. Spread Over Scalp. EveryBitof Hair Came Out. Head and Face Crusty Mass. Cuti- Cura Soap and Ointment Cured.

Cranberry Isles. Me. - My baby's body was completely covered with eczema. He was about six weeks old when it started. It came on his forehead first then spread all over his scalp so that every bit of his hair came out. The eczema came in big biotches on his face and neck. which after few days all ran into solid mass. He used to rub them and sometimes he would mako tho blood come. It was in the scaly form on his body. but his head and fac0 seemed to be crusty mass.
 ''I tried an ointment for him but it did not do him any good. I tried this one week and by that time baby was one mass of eczema from head to foot. He used to be quite rest less nights and while he had the eczema he did not grow a bit. He was terribly dis- figured. sent and got some Cuticura Oint- menb and Soap.

POSTAL EFFICIENCY.

With the postoff1ce department call- ing for an emergency appropriation of $500, 900 for operation expenses in connection with the department and particularly the parcel post with the large initial cost of institution. it is reminded that the department is being put to larger expense through the act of congress which by the reduction in the hours of work for it's employees has failed to make provision for keep ing up the service to the point where it formerly was. Such reduction in the working time either means a larger cost of operation or a reduc tion in efficiency of service. This came at a time when the additional task of handling the parcel post business was placed upon the department. It meant more work and it has increased the expense without improvement of the regular service.
 The success of the department lies in giving the best of service It is the satisfying of the people of the country which must be the aim of the great system. The parcel post bus mess which has made a great showing and has far greater promise must be taken care of both properly and promptly. and while that is being done the regular postal service must not be neglected. Therein is a service to the people of the entire country which must be recognized and fulfilled.

TIME FOR BUSINESS.

The end of the 1913 session of the general assembly is approaching. There remain but about seven more days for the legislators 10 dispose of the large amount of business which is before rhem. T. is time that a full realization sf the situation should dawn upon them and proper attention be given to the many important measures which await action. The legislature has got ten into the habit of delaying matters for the purpose Of logrolling. regard less of the importance or the length of the term hut the fixing of definite day of adjournment was warning enough that procrastination should be a5andOned and was in fact the pur- pose of the action. With no other incentive to push legislation along fixed day for closing has been known 10 the assembly since long before the opening of the session.
 T. is time to lay politics aside and get down to business for the welfare of the city. town. district and state for which they were appointed Other states have long since completed their deliberations and yet Connecticut legislators remain in session with much business before them, and only @ few days to complete 1t. Today a Monday session win be held for ti1s first time In years but 1t should have full attendance and not be u no- quorum session. and if 1t becomes nee sary night sessions should he held to properly dispose of the business be- fore them.

SUMMER FURNISHINGS.

The finishing touch of beauty about a bungalow or summer home of any sort is the artistic, summery looking furniture which is found not only within doors, but on porch and lawn. Tn selecting such furniture it will be found that nothing is more pretty and fitting than the Canton furniture which is imported directly from the Orient It is made of bamboo and Wistaria vine, and it's special recom- mendation is that exposure to burn ing sunshine or drenching summer showers hurts it not a whit. Chairs are of such odd and interesting shapes that they make extremely picturesque fur nishings. Added to that their bases are of the so-called hour glass shape, so that there are no sharp legs to make unsightly digs in the lawn. The tea tables, tabourettes and mag azine racks of this oriental make are particularly good looking.
 The incest sort of rug to use with these bamboo furnishings is the one of Chinese grass. It is also sun-proof and shower proof and is so loosely woven that it dries very readily-a decidedly good feature for porch rug to possess.

UTILITY MAGAZINE.

One of the most practical and ingen- ious productions Recently brought out is the magazine pillow bag. It is made of red saffian leather and handsomely lined with moire silk in a matching shade. The interior is fitted with five separate compartm for the pur- pose of slowing away toilet articles and small wares, while the space be- tween the covers Is designed to hold a book or a magazine
 The pillow is heavily padded and provided with strong strap handles. It closes across the top and part way down each side with strong brass snappers.
 The advantages and practical uses of this bag are many, and it should prove an indispensable adjunct to the travellers equipment.
 The pillow bag is also made in suede leather, appropriately lined, and in a variety of colors. As a headrest or backrest pillow is equally accepta- ble and in the latter capacity should prove invaluable for motorists. The dimensions are 1Sx11 inches.

When the stockholders of the New Haven road are being asked for their proxies by a stockholders committee from Massachusetts. it immediately raises a question of doubt as to the friendly purpose of the members thereof The antagonism which has developed against the railroad system which bears such a close relation to all New England has centered in Bos- ton and when the committee seeks a proxy fn May for a stockholders meeting which IS not due until Octo- her, and when the proxy is to exist for eighteen months. or for two an nuai meetings. carrying also the power 70 appoint substitutes for voting the proxies. f is but natural that the stockholders should want to know something more about the real pur- poses and intents of the committee than has appeared. Enough anxiety has been caused by the attacks upon the road without being led astray while the road is in the midst of its present troubles. The search for proxies changes entirely the object of the committee and it is but natural that stockholders should want to know more about those to whom they are being asked to sign over the con troi of their stock as 10 voting power
 If the committee is to enter into the affairs of the road to the extent of holding proxies there is reason why Connecticut and Rhode Island should have representation thereon and the committee become a representative one This state has nearly as many stockholders as Massachusetts and it fs vitally interested When the com TyIittee. as explained in the circular. intends "to invite the cooperation of the board of directors of the company instead of offering it's cooperation to the company # sheds new light upon the situation which calls for caution.

A very desirable seam for wash goods, skirts, sleeves or waists is made by laying the edges you wish to sew together, with the edge of the un- der piece projecting about an eighth of an inch beyond the upper edge; give it a turn over the top edge then another turn. and the seam will re- semble a hem. and be ready to stitch; then run a row of stitching with the machine along the edge of the hem and the seam will be perfectly made without any rough edges.
