tAssoelatsa Prsas

KIOTO, Nov. 17.-Only music of the Allies was played today at the second of the great national feasts provided by the Emperor in eelebra- tion of his coronation. German music was barred on account of the war.
 In contradiction of the first feast held last night. when the music was entirely that of old Japan, that of to- day was entirely modern. Court mu- sieians rendered selections by modern composers of France, Russia and Italy, including airs by Massenet, Bipt, Verdi and the Russian genius Seria- pin, who died several months ago. The selection was left to Professor William Duvoravitch, musician sf- tached to the household department
 Today's feast which began at noon in the Nijo palace, was purely modern both as to the menu and entertaln- Ament The members of the diplomatic corps, i2cluding George ". Guthrie. the American ambassador. and Mrs. Guthrie were psSent. as wee also the ministers of state. -Sebies. other dig nitarles and representatives of che Diet
 The Emperor and suite arrived last, according to court custom. The Em- peror was dessed in the full uniform of generalissimo of the army, and his suite was brilliant in full dress uni form. There were no formal speeches as on yesterday.
 The Mic palace stands at the for mer iste of the old Nijo Castle. found ed by Ota Nobunga, in the reign of Emperor Goyozei, 1887, A. D. The big building of the famous Juraku Castle, erected by Taiko Hideyoshi. was re- moved here in 1902, A. D.. but was de- stroyed in 1783 by fire. The present building is a; reconstruction. The big building has since been preserved as an imperial palace and by alproclama- tion issued in 1854 was named the Mic detached palace. It was at this palace that the last Shogun formally returned the right of political admin istration to Emperor Mutsuhito. This is known in Japanese history as the ''Meiji Restoration of 1868"

 Manager Lawson is now devoting his attention to protecting the banks of the Colorado, and to cleaning out the ditches. He has purchased two new drag-line dredgers, one Cotton To- comotive, 50 steel rock cars, one 12-ton locomotive (from Elephant Butte) one catipillar tractor to be used on the banks of the canals and ditches.
 This will give Supt. Priest three big trains for hauling rock, instead of the one he has heretofore had. He will work. one, with the small cars, from Laguna on the Gila side; one from Potholes on the California side. and one from Yuma for the lower valley.
 He will begin not later than Dec. l to reinforce the revetment all along the line, and by usual flood time he hopes to have all the revetment in g perfectly safe condition.

 AFTER JANUARY 1sI

The Georgia legislature is in session for the purpose of passing more dras- tic prohibition regulations and also for making appropriations. The drys have a decided majority in both houses. One bill has already passed the senate by vote of 3S to 2, which will prohibit every kind of liquor con- taining one-half of one per cent of alcohol and which also prohibits sub stitutes for whiskey or beer. Drastic sections eliminate locker clubs. pro vide that the keeping of liquors ex- cept in dwellings shall be prima facie evidence of illegal purpose, make the joints" public nuisances, provide that federal liquor license shall be an evidence of guilt, and hang heavy penalties over officers who fail to en- force the law. The measure becomes effective January 1, 1916. It has a cer- tain majority in the House.
 An anti-shipping bill and bill to prohibit liquor advertising will also be passed
 Heretofore, Georgia has been under a prohibition law prohibiting liquors which eff drunk to excess may produce intoxication." In operation this law has permitted the sale of beer.

 WORLDLY POSSESSIONS

John Seddons of San Pascual valley, lost nearly all his worldly possessions at o'clock last night, when fire de- stroyed his ranch home. MT Seddon escaped with only his clothes, minus his hat, and man working for him saved nothing but night dress and a pair of pants, which he grabbed as he ran out to save his life. These two men slept last night in neighbor- ing hay stack. The fire probably caught from brush fires near by. The loss was $500, said Mr. Seddon today.
