duplicate abstract records which he
has completed be housed in d freproof

method of duplicate plants in separate

that merely depositing records In a

fact that abstracts made by private

PLAIN JAPANESE
At CORONATION
Persons Outside Court to Wit
ness Mikado Take Throne
Is an Impressive Ceremony.

Tokyo.-For the first time in the his
tory of the japanese empire, extending
over $500 years, an emperor is to ac-
cede to the throne In the presence of
representatives of his people. That is
why the coronation of Emperor Yoshi-
hito on Nov. 10 is regarded as a su-
preme event in japanese national life
and why it is looked forward to with
such eagerness and delight by the en-
peror's subjects.
Strictly speaking, the ceremony Is
not a coronation, but an accession.
The rulers of Nippon wear no crown,
but In the presence of the spirits of
their ancestors they formally accede to
the dignity and prerogatives Of en-
perorship. However, the coming great
event Is usually referred to as the
coronation.
The empress expects to become a
mother about that time. The emperor
doubtless will go alone to Kioto with
great pomp, carrying with him In q
specially constructed train Of exquisite
workmanship and decoration the three
sacred treasures which symbolic the

and the comma shaped jewel.
Religious services will be held In
the Shunkyoden temple, where the gor-
geous throne will be placed and where
will be witnessed a rare spectacle Of
court mobiles and priests in the ancient,
picturesque ceremonial robes. The for
eign representative will be ushered to
their seats by the sound Of flutes and
drums. The doors of the sanctuary
where the sacred mirror Is placed will
be opened and offerings spread before
the altar. Then the emperor, preced-
ed by the lord chamberlain and minis
ter Of the household carrying the sword
and gem, will enter, followed by the
princes Of the blood, ministers of state
and the members of the coronation
commission. After q moment of silence
the emperor will go to the altar and
read an address proclaiming to the
spirits Of his ancestors that he has re-
ceived the sacred treasures and that
he then and there ascends the throne,
the seat of the "Son of Heaven" The
princes and princesses Of the blood
and other japanese IN their turn will
pay homage.

the Shishiiden palace, Emperor Yo

and the Suki, dedicated to the deities

emperor, alone and unseen. will eat
of the sacred rice, sown, tended and
harvested by virgins In the eastern and
western provinces. In each case the
emperor will battle in sacred water,
after which. donning special robes, he
will pray successfully before the heav

Camden, n. J.. Sept 1O.-Olaf Peter
son, who has been held as material
witness since Samuel s. Cord. his busi-
ness partner was murdered q week
ago Monday, now says that a woman
figured in the mysterious crime. Cords
wife denied Peterson's statement when
it was read to her later As the au-
thorities have been skeptical Of what
Peterson has said about the crime and
as new developments added to the
mystery Of the real estate mans death,
they continued TO keep Peterson in Gus
tOdy.
Several months ago said Peterson,
Cord told me there had been trouble
at his home the night before because
Mrs. Cord had found fault with his in
timacy with another woman. and he
feared he would have to take a sepa-

The Camden police heard of reports
that Peterson was the man who figur-
ed In the murder Of Maude Sullivan In
Paterson, n. J., eighteen years ago,
one of the most mysterious crimes in
the state. Peterson said he had no
other connection with the case than
that he found the woman's body. A

Germany Regrets Deaths, but Sees No
Obligation Further and Suggests
Hague Observation-Disclosures No Warn
ing Was Given, Saying That Arabic
n Attacked Submarine.
Berlin, Sept. 10.-The text of Ger
Amany's note OH the sinking of the
White Star liner Arabic, summarized
previously by cable, Is in full as lol-
lows:
On Aug. 19 a German submarine stopped
the English steamer Dunsley about six
teen nautical miles south of Kinsele and
was on the point of sinking the prize by
gunfre after the crew had left the vessel
At this moment the commander saw a
large steamer making directly toward
him. This steamer, which as developed
later, was the Arabic. She was recogniz-
ed as enemy vessel. as she did not fly
any flag and bore no neutral markings.
When she approached she altered her
original course, but then again pointed
directly toward the submarine From this
the commander became convinced that the
steamer had the intention of attacking
and ramming him In order to anticipate
this attack he gave orders for the sub
marine to dive and fired torpedo at the
steamer. After firing he convinced him
self that the people on board were being
rescued in fifteen boats.
Says Arabic Planned Attack
According to his instructions the COM
was not allowed to attack the
Arabic without warning and without saw
ing the lives unless the ship attempted to
escape or offered resistance. He was
forced however, to conclude from the at
tendant circumstances that the Arabic
,,planned a violent attack on the subma-
rlne.
This conclusion Is all the more obvious
as he had been fired upon at a great dis
tance In the Irish sea on Aug 14that is,
2 q few days before-by a large passenger
steamer, apparently belonging to the Brit
ish Royal Mall Steam Packet company.
which he had neither attacked nor stop
ped.
The German government most deeply
regrets that lives were lost through the
action of the commander. 1t particularly
expresses this regret to the government
of the United States on account of the
death of American citizens
No Obligation to Grant Indemnity.
The German government is unable, how
ever, to acknowledge any obligation to
grant indemnity In the matter, even II
the commander should have been mis-
taken as to the aggressive intentions of
the Arabic
II 1t should prove to be the case that It
is impossible for the German and Ameri-
ban governments to reach a harmonious
opinion on this point, the German govern
ment would be prepared to submit the
difference of opinion. as being q question
Of International law, to The Hague tri-
bunal for arbitration, pursuant to article
So of The Hague convention for the pacific
