BOYS CELEBRATE
 CORONATION OF EMPEROR

The Japanese residents of Cordoya last evening fttingly celebrated the coronation of their new Emperor by holding appropriate exercises in the Red Dragon Club House, which was tastily decorated with American and Japanses flags and bunting. Portraits of the Emperor and Eempress also graced the wall, and everything that was done was commemorative of the festive occasion in their home coun- try; regular service was held and speeches made in Japanese relating to the importance of the coronation.
 Mayor H. A. Slater had been invited to attend, but as he had a previous important engagement, he asked Geo. c. Hazelet, president of the Shamber of Commerce, to represent him, which he did in a most fitting speech, re- viewing the wonderful growth of Japan. and in closing paid a deserved tribute to the loyal and patriotic boys who had assembled to do honor to the ruler of their country. H. G. Steel, of the Daily Times, represents ing the press, also mace few re- marks,
 After the exercises lunch was served which included many deli cious Japanese dishes. which were enjoyed by all present.

 The number of gifts, the attitude of those present, the complimentary ex- pressions set forth in the various, formal speeches by friends present, to the bride and groom, were a great tri- bute to the popularity and high es- teem in which they are held.
 We do not hestitate to say that their many friends here in Cordova join us in best wishes and heartiest congratulations.

TRENTON, N. J.. Nov. 11-Tne rope mill of the Joihn A. Roebling Sons Co.,, covering two city blocks in area, was totally destroyed by fire last night. The loss to the company is over a million dollars, and the cause of the fire is a mystery there being a strong probability that it was incendary in origin. The fire IS men toned as one in a sinister list of con fagrations which have destroyed factories engaged in filling contracts for war materials for the allies. This rope factory was working three shifts, seven days a week, and practically its entire output at present consisted of iron chains and barbed wire Tor England, France and Russia.
