.ISHII VISITS CRADLE
Of MODERN JAPAN
Ancient Sword Presented
Fairhaven, Mass, Token
From Nippon
VISCOUNT PROUD
OF UNITED STATES

NEW BEDFORD, Mas, July 5-Here,
where American-Japanose friendship
began nearly seventy-nvo years ago,
Vlscount Ishil, Japanese ambassador,
Joined yesterday IN the celebration OF
Independent Day with a reiteration OF
his nations whole-hearted devotion to
the common cause OF liberty and q trib-
ute to Americas part in the war.
The ambassador came TO present 20
the nelghboring township Of Falrhaven
q Japanese sword OF the fourteenth
century as a mark OF appreciation Of
Kindness shown by the townspeople in
1850 to a Japanese sailor boy who lived
there eight years after being brought
in by New Bedford crew. This boy
Maniiro Nakahama. went back TO Japan
with a story OF his experiences and OF
American ways that paved the way for
the eDoch-maklng expedition OF Com
modore Perry, whom he served as In
terpreter.
Nlscount Ishii asserted the port OF
New Bedford and Fairhaven was the
cradle Of modern japanese clvinlzation.
He added:
"As to what part Japan as an ally
has played In the past. is playing act
ually or win be prepared to play In
the future / do not feel justified to en-
ter in detail. Suffice II 10 say here that,
though remote from the theatres OF
war, Japan Is thoroughly prepared 10
contribute TO her noble allies in this
terrible war IN a way which In her
judgment Is most efficient and condu-
Give 10 the ultimate success OF the
common cause.
There is one thing TO which want
to call to your particular attention and
that is the untirlng efforts Of our en-
emy to estrauge the Allied Powers, one
from the other. The rumor Of a pos
slble rapproachement between Germany
and Japan is a new fine specimen Of
German intrigue and propaganda. II Is
matter Of regret that such & pre-
posterous canard should nnd even a
momendary credence. The report IT,
self betrays utter Ignorance OF the
national character Of the Japanese
people.
"Japan Is proud TO be your ally in
this sacred war Of justice against dom
nation"

Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Company be permitted TO charge a
straight soven-oent fare. but shall be
required TO sell four tickets for twenty
i've cents.
80 II appears from the record that
the public had no notice respecting
the seven-cent fare before the board
had practically determined TO grant the
company's request.
1T is true that the order or resolu-
ton granting the right 10 charge a
seyen-oent fare was not formally adopt
ed until June 5, but there was no pub
lic notice given that 1t would be de-
ferred until that date. II is also true
that protest was made on the third and
nth days OF June by certain persons,
but that did not relieve the board OF
their duty to give reasonable notice to
the public Of the application before
deciding the case. And moreover, as
| to the protest mad on June 5. 10 reply
/ to the protestants that the board has
had two public meetings, and that they
will decide the issue on the facts laid
before them. BY two public meetings
reference could have been had only L
the meeting OF May "a, which wai
with respect 10 a six-cent fare, and tn
meeting OF June 3, OF which the pub
; I lie had no notice.. so far as the recorl
shows, and at which the question o
an>increase 90 seven cents was present
cd and determined. -
"The Court has no doubt that tn
board has endeavored 10 do their dutl
10 all parties, but we think It not I'm
proper to suggest that their duties
might be made easier in the future II
they should adopt some plain and sim
pie rules governing their procedure, in
Guiding a rul0 providing for fair
hearing on the part Of both the public
and the public utility.
"F0r the reasons given, the court Is
Of the opinion that the order OF the
board appealed from should not be af-
drmed on tho record filed in the case.
After this decision, Herbert II. Ward,
Of counsel for the company, conferred
with Mr.. Harman. and shortly an
TO the court that the traction
company was willing TO agree on six
cent fare. To this Mr.. Harman agreed
and the order was given amending the
order Of the boaId.
Mr.. Bayard objected 10 such an or
der, arguing that the court should
either dismiss the order Of the Utili-
ties Commission or affirm it The court
however. held that the real parties In
the case were the appellants and the
traction company, and that the board
was only.a minor figure in the case,
