The first number on the pro-

ing, both in solos and ensemble.
Repeated enchores were respond

ing. An appreciated feature of
their entertainment was quar-
tette of saxophones. They also
gave a musical prelude to the
evening feature, and several in
teresting readings by Mr.. Often,
on both occasions, were good.
The evening number was an
historical lecture by Rev. ]. X.

whose Indian name is Tahan,
meaning Texas Man. The sub
Ject of his lecture was Cup

to copy. They had only one

Indian of his lands, taught him
evil ways, and now, under subjec-
ton, refuses TO help civilize or
educate him. Tahan was clad in
his native dress, which made the
talk all the more forceful. He
uses splendid English, besides
speaking a half dozen other Ian

Because. as he says, Huey Low
Long. a Chinaman. refused 10 give
him service in a restaurant. Norman
Olivier, a negro. has brought suit IN
Justice Peaks court TO recover 800
damages. The action is un-
der an act passed in 1880 for the pur-
pose OF guaranteeing equal privileges
10 the residents Of Indiana regardless
Of color or creed. Violation of the
statute calls for a fine of not more
than 500 or a Jail sentence of not
more than 30 days or both.
Huey Low Long maintains a chop
suey restaurant at No. lis S. Mich
igan st. Olivier alleges that recently
he went into the cafe with a woman
companion and that the proprietor re-
fused to serve him and moreover or
dered him to leave the place. The
plaintiff charges that Olivier's course
was the result Of prejudice and bias.
He saws that he became nervous and
sick as a result of the shame and hu-
initiation which he suffered.
The case has been set for . O'Clock

JAPS IN CONFERENCE
Unusual Importance Attached to
Meetings Now Going On.

TOXIC, Aug. 25.-Unusual import
ance is attached TO conferences now
in between the premier and
the war minister. They are under
stood to have a correction with the
appeal believed to ave been received
direct from the highest source in Eu-
rope for the dispatch of Japanese
troops to the western theater of war.
Japan already has been sounded on
this point, but her replies always have
been ~evasive so far. Now she IS
obliged to give a final answer. The
consensus here is uncomprisingly OPP
posed to sending troops TO Europe.
l learn from the highest authority
that the very principles of the consti-
tuition establishing Japan's military
service which is compulsory, make IL
impossible to employ the army and
navy for any purpose other than the
defense Of the state. Should the gov
eminent recommend to the throne to
send troops TO fight in the European
theater of war there would be an out
burst Of national indignation.
The operators against Using Tao
were purely in pursuance of the Obli-
cations entailed by the alliance with
Great Britain. Japan now entertains
no grudge or hatred against any IA
ton in Europe, therefore it does not
want to light in the absence of a di-
rect menace to national interests.
Compliance with the present appeal
for military assistance, embarrassing
as IL is because of the source from
which it comes, is thought utterly i'm
pOssible.
