TOKYO. Aug. "A notable contri-
button to the discussion of the relation
of the west to the east. opened up by
the Californian land bill agitation, has
been made by Count Okuma, "the
grand old man of Japan" who declares
that Japan's future success depends
upon her development, of foreign inter-

Count OlSuma writes of this problem

CITY Of LONDON

DRAGON TAvER ERN
Property Acquired by Cor
poration for Purpose Of
Permitting Widening
of Fleet Street T

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The city corpora
the Green Dragon In Fleet street for
f14,75o. 1t has also bought for under
$1,000 the frontispiece of the Cock
tavern from the freeholders, but the
city has to pay f2,600 for the under
lease and the trade therein. These two
taverns are secured to complete the
widening of Fleet street, which has
been going on in little bits for the
last IL years.
The Green Dragon was famous tav-
ern In its day, and once had the honor
of being denounced by Louis Napoleon
when he was a special London po-
liceman, as the headquarters of an
archy. The Cock is not the building
of the Cock of Tennyson's poem, for
that was demolished when the laws
courts were built, but it contains the
old chimneypiece and benches and the
Grinling Gibbons sign Of the original
tavern, and is still the favorite chop
house for lawyers.
The city Is now negotiating for
properties needed for the Leadenhalf
street widening. Four leaseholds have
been bought for 1900, and more has
to be paid for trade and tenants in
terests The actual demolition of build
ings does not cost much. The house
breakers will raze a house for under
f100, but, of course, they get the old
materials, which, however, are usually
not worth more than flo or f20.
For many years the question OF re-
building ST. Georges hospital on It's
present site at Hyde Park corner or
taking the hospital into the outskirts,
as has been done recently with so many,
of the west London hospitals, has been
considered. The matter is now settled
ST. Georges hospital and the Westmin-
ster hospital are going to amalgamate
and erect building on site Of eight
acres on the river side at Wandsworth.
Sketch plans have already been pre-
pared for the new building. One of tho
chief difficulties in the disposal of the
present site was the right of pre-emp-
tion held by the duke OF Westminster
over part of it.
The new arrangement has become
possible by the offer of a hotel syndi-
cate to purchase the whole ground for
$4,000 900. 1t is stated that the syndi-
cate will spend 100000 on the build
ing of the hotel. The site Is undoubt-
edly the best in London for the rich
hotel public One elevation affords an
intimate view of Buckingham palace
and Its gardens, and the patrons of the
hotel will be able to feel that they are
next door to English ROYALTY. The other
side looks upon Hyde Park at its most
fashionable part, and from the upper
windows Rotten Row will look like its
private avenue.

PHYSICIAN GIVES SELF
BAD CASE OF BERI=BERI
Berlin Investigator Deliberately Con-
tracts Disease to Prove His Anti
Infection Theory

BERLIN, Aug. DIR Max Moszkow
ski of Berlin, who has won distinction
by his scientific researches in New
Guinea, succeeded in giving himself an
unmistak kable case of beri-beri by liv-
ing for 13S days upon a diet consisting
almost exclusively of hulled rice. He
believes his experiments support the
theory formerly held by him, that beri-
beri is disease induced by certain
foods and not due to an infection of
any kind from without. as has been
maintained by many investigators.
Doctor Moszkowski, who in 1911 ad-
vanced his theory in an address before
the Berlin Medical society. reported at
the society's last meeting the results
of the experiment which he has just
finished.
After a few weeks of hu1led rice diet
the nervous disturbances accompanying
beri-beri appeared. and the case was
then diagnosed as beri-beri by Doctor
Schuffner. the noted authority in this

popularity is a revival Of "Bunty Pulls

has drawn steadily through its second

Many of the new plays have run
brief and disastrous courses.

an actor who requested salary for
three weeks rehearsing When the

ENGLAND ASKED

COAL HOLDINGS
Most Advanced Step In
Labor Socialist Program
Makes Parliament
TakeNotice

LONDON, Aug 2-The most advanced
step in the labor socialist program,
which is being formulated as a pro-
test against the alleged miidness of
the social legislation of the present
government, has been marked by the
introduction, in parliament from the
labor benches of a bill for the nation
alization of all coal and other mineral
mines.
The first reading of the bill was
moved by Stephen Walsh, the most in
dependent of all the labor members.
Briefly stated, the law contemplates:
First-The fixing of an appointed
day on which the state is to take over
all the coal mines and minerals In the
kingdom.
Second-Compensati to all those
who have In good faith invested their
money in the sinking and equipment of
mines.
Third-No compensation whatever to
royalty owners; the bill categorically
refuses to recognize or acknowledge
their rights.
Fourth-That the amount of COM
pensation be calculated on the actual
output for the previous nve years, "a
maximum Of $3.50 ton being paid In
the eases of mines with an output of
more than 100000 tons year. and of
SO a ton In mines of smaller produc-
tion
Fffth-That minister of mines be
appointed, with commissioners to give
him advice, three representing the
Mining assQciation, three the Miners
federation and three the Trades Union
congress.
Sixth-That the minister of mines
be empowered to acquire any lands
to carry on the business
of selling coal to consumers and. ap-
parently. to fix the price of coal.
Seventh-That the mines be acquired
by the formation of a per cent coal
mines stock, the dividends payable out
of the proceeds OF the business
When these proposals were read they
rather took away the breath of the
house.
Some members were inclined to re-
gard the measure in a jocular spirit
until the earnestness of Mr.. Walsh,
who earned the respect OF the house
by his stand during the coal strike.
caused them to pay serious attention
to the provisions of the proposed law.
No liberal names appeared among
the hackers of the bill. 1t is purely
q labor measure and 1t represents the
labor view of how such measure
should be cast.
