DEVELOPMENT OF
CHINESE EMPIRE
(By Associated Press)

Toxic, Nov 15-"When we think
that the Bible, which was presented
to the Emperor today by DR.. Surge,
/ is a book whose teaching was inter-
Gicted within this realm less than
5C years ago we have some idea of
the great development of the apan-
csc Empire" That was one of the
most striking remarks made during
notable dinner of 900 representa-
tive japanese who assembled last
night to express their gratitude to
DR.. E. A. Surge of San Francisco,
who has done much i'm the interest
Of the Japanese residents ON the Pa
citic coast and much to develop the
relations of friendship between Jap
an and the United States.
The function of last night was in
q sense a coronation festfvity for it
followed the presentation to the EN-
peror by DR.. Surge of a beautiful
Bible, contributed as coronation
gift by the Christian Japanese who
live in the United States. 1t had
been intended to present the Bible
at Kioto during the coronation week,
but the program of the Emperor is
SO filled that it was deemed best to
present it Immediately. The Bible
is bound in pure white leather, has
the "rising sun" embossed on the
outside in red while on the inside
Of the covers is represented the En-
pire of Japan in gold side by side
with the coast line of the United
States. The idea of the engravings,
which include also the national flags,
is that Japan and America are
bound together in lasting friend
ship.
Beside being an expression of
gratitude to DR.. Surge, the meeting
of last night was striking manifes-
tation of Japanese-American friend
ship. All of the speakers, who in
cluded Viscount Kanecko, Admiral
Baron Uriu, Baron Kanda. DR.. Soye-
da and others dwelt impressingly
upon the desire of Japan to continue
and develop her amicable relations
with the United States.
DR.. Soyeda. who is president of the
Japanese railways, went further
than voicing the usual expression of
friendship. After saying that Japan
could never forget that the United
States had led her into the paths of
righteousness he declared. 81 want
to say this: in case of danger arising
to the American republic, | am con-
fident that our compatriots who re-
side within the borders Of the United
States would be ready to spend their
last penny and give up their lives to
help save that Republic if it were
in danger"
Dr. Surge was grateful for the
warmth of the reception accorded
him. He said he felt somewhat
ashamed to come to Japan after the
disaereeable things that had oc-
Cured in California but he was de-
lighted to find that the Japanese
people were showing him even
greater kindness than during his
visit several years ago.

Miss Laura Cowie

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, who will make his farewell appearance at the Elks theater Friday and Saturday, for which seats are now selling. will on this occasion introduce to playgOers a young English actress. whose short but interesting career has won her a
 onspicuous place amongst the younger English actresses-Miss Laura Cowie. Scotch by birth, Miss Cowie's eXperi- ence has been almost entirely confined to the London stage. Miss Cowie in tended to devote her career to dan cing, but while she was studying in London with this idea in view, Sir Herbert Tree saw her and offered her two-line part in his production of Faust"
 For eighteen months Miss Cowie ap- peared in minor roles in Trees com pany and understudied Miss Marie Lohr. who was al that time Tree S leading woman. Then Miss Cowie was given the important role of Anne Boleyn in Trees revival of Henry VIII" Such was her success in this production, which ran for 2S4 nights, that Tree engaged her for leading roles in other of his Shakespearean reviYals.
 Though her rise to success has been short, Miss Cowie has worked hard. She is never idle. Her only hobby is dancing, and she is exceptionally fond of American dances.
