The officials knew that the emperor
had been frail from infancy and that
any serious Illness might end his life.
Lungs Always Weak.
While Yoshihito was still child the
court physicians observed that his
lungs were weak, and while he was
still the crown prince came many re-
ports to the effect that he might not
live to occupy the throne.
Yoshihito's accession to the throne of
Japan took place July 30, 1912, but the
formal coronation ceremonies were
postponed until the official term of
court mourning for the Emperor Nut
suhito should end, late In 1913.
Yoshihito Harunomiya, the one hun
dred and twenty-third male successor to
the imperial throne Of Japan, was born
Aug. 81, 1879. On his eighth birthday
he was nominated heir apparent, be-
ing the third son of the Princess Yani-
gawara, one Of the eight princesses Of
noble blood who became members Of
Nl
was seen that no heir was to be ex-
pected of Princess Haruko, Matsu-
hitos wife and empress.
The two elder brothers of Yoshihito
died soon after birth.
On being nominated heir apparent
Yoshihito received the decoration Of
the Grand Order Of Merit and CON-
mission as a colonel in the Imperial
Royal guards. His education was Sc
cured at the school for members Of the
imperial family at Tokyo and COM
prised modern training as well as that
Of the old japanese studies, including
English, French and German.
In 1900 he married Princess saba, his
cousin, a daughter of Prince Kujo
Her family is one Of the Oldest In the
empire and is easily traced back to $50
A. d.
The first Of the imperial couples
three children-the Princes Michi, Atsu
and Teru-was the first son to have
been born either to an empress or a
crown princess Of japan in many gen.
erations.
Upon being elevated to the throne
the Emperor Yoshihito began upsetting
traditions and breaking precedents
with a view to making japan modern
In every possible sense Of the word.
The Emperor Mutsuhito lived much
in seclusion. He passed the first six
teen years of life unseen by any for

/" HE recent news OF the serious Ill
ness of Yoshihito, emperor Of ia
pan, was a surprise not only to
the western world, but to the
inhabitants Of the mikado's own realm.
Not until his condition became so
grave that nearly dozen Of the court
physicians were In attendance did the
public, even the citizens of Tokyo,
know the mikado was indisposed.
Their first knowledge of the emperor's
illness was conveyed by an official
bulletin
The bulletin, signed by eight Of the
court physicians, was in these terms:
1.-THE emperor, who had been suffer
ing from a slight cold, developed to-
day inflammation of the lungs. We
do not consider his condition justifies
anxiety, but his temperature Is high"
This announcement came as great
shock to the loyal inhabitants Of the
majesty caught slight cold while at
tending a military review at Aoyama

All Of the papers of Tokyo issued ex-
tras chronicling the news Of his ma
jesty's illness, and great depression
was visible everywhere.
The news created the greatest con
sternation in view of the great ques-
lions Of state soon to be disposed Of
especially the attitude Japan Is to take

the California alien land law trouble.

just as the Maricopa auto club was revived, and it's actions made to mean something. Already the club is making itself felt. Business-li arrangements are now being made for handling a preliminary motor cycle race meet on September F, in order to raise part of the fund of five hundred dollars necessary to se- cure a motorcycle road race from San Diego to Phoenix.
 The suggestion for the road race came from the san Diego Motor cycle club, whose members are fired by the preparations for the big brother races this fall. The proposal acted like an electric shock on the Phoenix club, which at once set out to make good at this end of the line.
 The chugbike race will start a day or so before the Los Angeles to Phoenix race is called. The riders will have the advantage of the road work and the signs that are to be put up for the autOists on the last part of the Los Angeles-via- San Diego to-PhoeniX course. Some of the riders here who are figuring on entering the desert grind say the race can be negotiated in less than fifteen hours, but others consider this entirely too optimistic, and say if the machine that wins can poke it's nose through the sand, rock, gravel and mud in twenty hours, it will be whole lot to the riders credit At any rate, the motorcycle race is likely to be fast for San Diego, going to win this event from all other entries promises to put in act QRh
 Preliminary Race Data
 There has been a lot of talk around town something like this: 'I don't think I'll enter. I never rode before, and I wouldn't stand a chance against some of those wise heads" In order to make the races more varied and better filled, the management has decided to use two events that will be limited strictly to amateur riders. One of these races will be for singles and one for twins, each with the recognized pis- ton displacement limit of 30.50, and 61 cubic inches for singles and twins respectively.
 Then there will be two free for aIls, and a handicap event. The lat ter will be handled by the committee, and handicaps once settled will not be changed. A fee of twenty-five cents will be charged for each event and riders must enter at the down town headquarters of the club, the whereabout of which will be an- nounced later. Entry to one race carries free admittance to the grounds, but the entrant must com pete.

To man up a tree
 It looks like a good year for auto mobile and motorcycle races in the great southwest, or more especially that portion of the southwest that lines the great travel lines east and west from Phoenix.
 The significance of three automo- bile races, tOtalling in their courses nearly sixteen hundred miles, is gradually dawning on the community and people are beginning to realize what a tremendous advertising value lies in the series of contests. The result of this awakening has been feverish activity all along the lines of the races. Ten cities work stronger than three-so when all the towns along the race coarses start in, there is just that much more as surance of success for the compe- titions.
 But the road races will be only the outside part of the program for the 1913 state fair. Track races for autos and motorcycles will form an other large part of the excitement. With drivers of national reputation struggling for speed supremacy on the fast Phoenix track. the eyes of the whole world will be turned upon this town on automobile day, the most popular of all the fair days.
 Motorbike Races
 The tWO-WheelerS will occupy the stage also this fall, taking a much larger share in events than last. In fact, the motorcycle races will class up right alongside the automobile races for popularity. And the secret of that is. the club which has been dormant for years is now revived,

character.
The arrest was made by the police on
the allegations of neighbors, who laid

case, and the evidence in the local po-

Recent Terrible Accidents Have

BERLIN. Nov. 23.-Echoes of the ter
rible wreck of the naval Zeppelin LIZ
promise to reverberate for months to
come. There Is no question that the
Fatherland's hitherto unshattered confi-
dence in dirigibles as weapons of war
is at last much shaken.
The kaisers insistence that the sue
cesive detruction of twelve Zeppelins
must not deter Germany from continu-
ing to rely on them for the conquest
of the air is not so generally shared as
would have been the case seven weeks
ago, before the navy lost both its
air-cruisers. with accompanying heavy
loss of life.
Many who in the past were ardent
devotees of the Zeppelin system are
now shaking their heads, declaring re-
gretfuily that realities must be looked
in the face They are asking whether
in the light of events the German naval
and military authorities can conscien-
tiously order officers and men of the
feet and army deliberately to take their
lives in their hands, at least in times
of peace.
The sermon preached at the funeral
of the LIZ victims this week was one
of the most remarkable ever heard at
