CanCelling the Gentle

(By The Associated Pressl

TOXIC, Dec. II. - Resolutions
"welcoming" cancellation of the
gentlemen's agreement between ia
pan and the United States. provided
that some sort of substitute could
be agreed upon free from discrimi-
nation. were adopted at a Joint
meeting today of the Japanese
Peace society and the American
Peace society. This action was the
result of three meetings of the two
societies.
Japan Has Kept Agreement.
1t was asserted in the resolu-
tons THAT. in the opinion OF the
two societies, Japan had kept the
gentleman's agreement both In
spirit and in letter. The resolution
declared also that the two societies
would welcome the adoption of any
measures by internal legislation in
the United States or by conven-
ton that would promote the stand
ard of living and social condition
of Japanese in the United States so
as to prepare them for assimilation
as citizens of the American COM
monwealth. Confidence was ex-
pressed that any condition that
might arise between the two coun-
tries would in the end be settled on
a satisfactory basis of humanity,
reason and justice.
The California land bill (adopted
in the election November y was
described in. the resolution as too
harsh and sweeping in its terms to
accord with the high principles we
have Just mentioned. Yet we be-
lieye that we can firmly rely on
the sense of justice and humanity
of both the citizens of that state
and of the United States to right
any wrong steps that may be tax
on" the resolution added.
Patience Is Urged.
1--WE would urge our fellow coun-
trymen to be patient and self pos
sessed and free from excitement
over any unfavorable conditions in
California. We would call alton
ton to the diplomatic negotiations
now going on between Japan and
the United States and to the i'm
portance Of exercising the utmost
confidence in the ability of the two
countries to work out an accepta-
BILE solution of pending proo-
lens"
The Japanese Peace society and
the American Peace society were
established for the purpose OF pro
noting friendship and peace be-
tween Japan and the United States.

MINISTERS WANT

GAMING CHARGES
Especial Correspondence to The Iouruar.,

Especial Correspondence TO The journal
Deming, n, NJ, Dec 12.-Follow-
ing charges in newspapers here
that there is open gambling in the
town, members of the Ministerial
alliance appeared before the city
council and asked that an inves-
tigation of the charges be made,
The request was granted.
Among other places it had been
reported that gambling had been
allowed at carnivals here. The
members requested Mayor Hamil-
ton instruct them in the proper
procedure for making such an in
vestigation, and the mayor stated
that if any complaint were filed
which seemed TO be reasonably we'll
substantiated it would be thor
oughly investigated: that since the
re-enactment of the anti-gambling
ordinance all police officers have
been instructed to be very alert
for any infractions of this law and
to mako immediate arrests of any
vioiators.
A petition signed by large num-
Der of citizens was presented to the
council, requesting that the license
of the carnival company now play
ing here be revoked and that no
others be allowed to come to town.
The petition gave five specific
reasons for such request. It was
decided that, while the carnival
was so conducted that there would
be no Objectionable shows or
games, there was no apparent
reason at this time why the coun-
Gil should revoke such license, and
sideration at any time during the
week so that it can be acted on If
any facts are presented showing
that the license should be re-
voked.

ON, IN the silence of the desert land
The heavens arch encircled wide
the night,
The stars seemed near, and In

The camels softly moved DER path

By ways mysterious and strangely

Tall towers OF rock crept slowly
into sight
Through mists that gathered at un-

In silence deep the Arab bowed his

Meath shadow Of unmoving mid

And mused in wonder o'cr the count

Then nights sweet spirit shook her

The desert peace that close and

 PROVES BIB DRAWING
 CARD AT THE PEACOCK

Miss Charlotte Walker. The girl with personality" is one of the fea- ture attractions at the Peacock who has appeared nightly at this popular dance hall since it's opening. A won derful voice. combined with mag netic physical attractiveness. give her song numbers an individuality which elevate her far above the ranks of the ordinary entertainer.
 During her stay at the Peacock Miss Walker has won a big following of appreciative admirers. Her manager Walter Willis Powell, considers her one of the strongest attractions he has ever featured during his many years in the amusement field
 Although Miss Walker is gifted with unusual musical talents. she has used them only as stepping stone to higher accomplishments through hard work
 Her first appearance as a profes- sional entertainer was at the age of II years, when she was made a member of her brothers vaudeville act. Even at that age her marked personality asserted itself and she proved a vaIu- able asset to the act. But her work behind the footlights was soon inter rupted for three years of hard study at Straussberg' conservatory of music in St Louis, which was followed by an engagement as feature soloist at the famous conservatory of music headed by Professor Taussic
 Although yet in her teens. Miss Walker reflects in her work the wide and varied experience she has enjoyed in musical circles. She is equally well at home in the classical arias of grand opera or the latest popular ballads
 Because of the enviable reputation which Miss Walker has esta blished song writers are deluging her with their latest numbers, with requests that she help popularize them. Miss Walker will sing several new songs ar the Peacock this week
