Tokyo.-With mystic rite and courtly
pomp which recalled the historic cere-
monies attending the conservation of
Emperor Yoshihito last year Hirohito,

parent in 1912 after Emperor Yoshihito
assembled the throne upon the death Of
Emperor Mutsuhito. But the formal
celebration Of his installation as crown
prince was reserved until the birthday
Of the fllustrious Mutsuhito. On this
date also the present emperor was pro-
claimed crown prince. Furthermore
this is the prime Of the beautiful Japa-
neSe autumn, the ideal season Of the
year when the gorgeous chrysanthe-
mum, the crest of the japanese impe-
nal house, is seen in all its glory.
The feature of the celebration was
the Shinto ceremony early in the morn
ing In the sanctuary Of the 'kamiko-
dokoro," or sacred mirror, attended by
the emperor, the princes Of the blood,
ministers Of state and other high digni-
taries.

ment officials.

given in the HOmei hall of the palace.
1t was accompanied with classical JAP
anese dances and both ancient Japa-
nese and modern western music. Each
guest received a beautiful silver COM
memorative medal.

JERSEY BARS "SKIP STOPS"
Cars Must Take Passengers at All
Streets. Utility Board Rules.

Montclair, n. 1.-THE state board Of
public utility commissioners has direct
ed the Public Service Railway COM
pany to abandon the skip stop method
Of operating cars In this and other
towns on the Bloomfield avenue lines.
The skip stop plan has been in effect
since April 10, when it was adopted at
the request of Verona and other west
ern Essex municipalities and with the
assent Of the governing bodies of the
municipalities through which the line
operates.
In its decision the board expressed
disappointment that in its endeavor to
solve the vexatious question there was
an utter lack Of cooperation from the
various municipalities affected. The
board points out that it is obvious that
frequent stops slow up the operation
Of cars, and where any number Of
stops can be eliminated the inevitable
result is that the cars can cover their
routes more quickly.
