hifohito Installed as Crown
Prince Of japanese Empire

Toxic, Nov. 3.-with mystic rite and
courtly pomp which recalled the his.
toric ceremonies attending the conse-
Grafton OF the Emperor Yoshihito last
year, Hirohito. eldest son Of Yoshi-
hito. was today formally installed as
Crown Prince and heir to the throne.
Prince Hirohito was proclaimed heir
apparent in 1919. after Emperor Yos-
hthito assembled the throne upon the
death Of Emperor Mutsuhito. But the
formal celebration Of his installation
as Crown Prince was reserved until to-.
day, the birthday anniversary Of the
illustrous Mutsuhito whose death is
still lamented by millions OF Japanese
subjects. On this date, also. the reign
Ing Emperor was proclaimed Crown
Prince. Furthermore this is the prime
OF the beautiful Japanese autumn, the
ideal season Of the year when the
gorgeous chrysanthemum, the crest of
the Japanese Imperial house, is seen in
all its glory.
The feature Of the celebration today
was the Shinto ceremony early in the
morning conducted at the sanctuary
Of the "Kashikodokoro'' or sacred mir.
ror. The Emperor. Crown Prince, prin.
ces Of the blood. ministers of state
and many other high dignitaries were
present in the sacred hall OF the i'm
perial palace and religious service
was solemnized according to the Shinto
ritual. When the chief ritualist had
repeated a Shinto prayer, Emperor
Yoshihito read an address announcing
the tnstallment Of Prince Hirohito.
After this another ceremony was held
IN the state room Of the palace, where
the imperial family accepted congrat-
ulations from the officials Of the court
and government. Notable among the
we'll wishers. also. were the ambassa-
doris and ministers Of the powers in
Guiding George w. Gutherie, the Amer
lean ambassador.
On this occasion the Emperor con-
ferred upon the Crown Prince a sacred
sword called "Tsubokiri-n -Tsurugi,'
which had been handed to the Emperor
by his imperial father at the time of
his own installation as Crown Prince
AT the same time the Crown Prince
was promoted to the rank Of captain
In the army and lieutenant in the navy

rected them into the house, one by one,
by way of the cellar. Games and char
aies occupied the time and. as usual

Il The bakers went on record strongly
against any attempt to lower the quality
of bread.
The conference here was an outgrowth
of the bakers national convention at Salt
Lake City several months ago, at which
informal resolutions to the same effect
were voted. Already the price Of bread
has been advanced. or the scent loaf
abandoned, in several cities. At one time
there were threats of government in
vestigation Of concerted movement to
increase the price. y&
Bakers attending the conference here
said they have no fear of such action
now.
S. F. Mcdonald Of Memphis, president
of the association, said he believed most
of the bakers of the country will adopt
the plan suggested today.
THE bakers, the housewife and the
retailers will all benefit in the end by the
10-cent Loaf he declared.

the country at the unprecedented cost of
$685., 100000, with authorizations that will
increase the total in three years to

ditures, appropriations were brought to
the grand total of 81, 637. 5s3, $50. the great
est aggregate in the countrys history
and exceeding that for the last fiscal
year by more than half a billion dollars
Expenditures, necessitated by prepared
ness and the calling into action of mill
tary forces to meet the Mexican emer-
gency, demanded revenue legislation in
the closing days of the session. Congress
responded by doubling the normal tax on
incomes creating an inheritance tax, mu-
nitions tax and miscellaneous excise taxes
to raise s2o5,0oo,00o and by directing sale
of s13o,000,0OO Panama canal bonds
Congress established tariff commits

rine, a workingmans compensation COM

system of self-government in the Phil

tant laws which had been contemplated
by the administration.
