bership of 435 there was rejected on
Wednesday in the house an amend
ment TO the federal judicial code re-

The Shrewd Salesman.
The Racer King, like the LeOgraL1,
was a two-passenger car Of moderate
price And Warren was soon in the
clutches or another salesman, VINO
was also shrewd enough to pay as
sumed Difference TO Warren's assumed
technical knowledge.

sisted the man, Il should be glad to

Well I'm not ready TO decide just

When Helen sank into chair at one
OF the small round tables, ii was with
a sigh Of relief At least they were
away from the crowd and the impor-
tuning salesman. While they waited
the motor booklets, and Helen watch
ed the people at the tables about
them.
1t was a curiOusly mixed crowd.
Just next TO them was a well-dresSed
couple, evidently tired out from de-
Gliding on the new car for the next
year. Beyond was a group of sales
men. discussing the results of the days
business. At another table was a
young couple plainly from the country.
Helen wondered how they happened
to be there
THAT LeOgrand's the best two-pas-
senger car" declared Warren, throw
ing down a circular to swish some
settler in the glass of Scotch the
waiter had just brought. 1T has the
Racer King beaten all hollow.
Wouldn't cost more than seven hun
dred a year to run that car"
Seven hundred" repeated Helen.
Wouldn't it be more than that?'

pencil and turning over the blank side
of a wine card. THE garage charges
in that size car wouldn't be more
than $25 a month. Gasolene and oil

Toxic, Japan, April 9.-Dowager
villa at Namazu today
She passed away very suddenly in
the presence of Emperor Voshmihito,
the empress and other members of the
royal family. Bright's disease was the
direct cause of death.
She was the widow of Emperor Nut
suhito, who died July 80, 1912. She
was born May %, 1850. In 1869 she
married the emperor and was declared
empress. With her husband she
passed through the troubled period
of the transformation of Japan at the
beginning of Mutsuhito's reign. She
saw the country opened to foreign
commerce, its departure from old
world customs and adoption of west
ern civilization. She awaited in the
palace news of the Japanese armies
at war, first with China, then with
Russia, and saw the complete revolu-
tion of Japan into a world power. She
presided at court functions with great
dignity, on most occasions wearing
western dress, especially when in con-
tact with Americans and Europeans.
She was greatly affected by the death
of Mutsuhito, suffering many months
with an affection of the heart
All Theatres Closed.
The emperor and empress returned
from Namazu, where they prayed an

For Equality of Terms.
'It is clear, that the United States
has rightfully and in accordance with
the terms OF her treaty, built the canal
through territory which is its own for
canal purposes, although the ultimate
sovereignty remains with the republic
of Panama, and the treaty accords TO
the United States all rights incident to
building the canal. 1t is also clear
that in undertaking the canal on these
terms the United States did so with
the purpose OF excluding al foreign
control beyond the stipulation to pre-
serve the general principles of neu-
and for equality of terms to
all users of the canal.
Those who deny the right OF the
United States to exempt its own
vessels rest Their case on the Ian
guage of Article 3. which declares
that
1.-The canal shall be free and open
to the vesse-s OF commerce and of war
of all nations observing rules. on
terms OF entire equality and more
upon the proposition that
the words all nations must include the
United States. freely admit that this

Tampico, were in grave danger, but
