The British government reported to be exercised
over reports that plots having for their purpose stimuli
taneous uprisngs in all the British colonies are being
Matched in New York 1t would be at all surprising,
The truth probably is that plots against every
ment in the world, including the United States are
feature of the daily life of that cosmopolitan commun-
lty. But little of this activity Moreover
If the plotting that constantly goes London could
be measured up along side of the New York plotting

Paris, Oct. 6.-"Unless Japan is
granted freedom of colonization in
California or Australia, the gravity
of the situation will be supreme. "
This was the declaration today Of
a member of the Japanese delega-
tion. according to the Universal
Service Correspondent.
The growing population OF our
country makes it imperative for
finding some outlet" he said. This
outlet must be obtained somehow.
The calamity of the last war should
have taught the nations the futility
of hostilities and the urgent realiza-
tion to give every man a square
deal. This is what Japan is now
demanding"
The Toxic government is also
planning to ask the league of ma

of racial equality which President
Wilson turned down at the Yer

TAKAMINI, WHO GAVE CHERRY
TREES TO CITY, NEAR DEATH

DR.. Jokichi Takamini, the Jap
anese chemist, in perpetuation of
whose generosity and love for
America the Japanese cherry trees
bloom every spring along the
Speedway, lies near death at his
home on Riverside Drive, New York
City.
In order that he may see the
trees he gave the Nations Capital
as they are today. and as they will
embellish the Speedway in years
to come, several photographs were
sent the dying scientist yesterday
by DR.. David Fairchild, head of the
office of seed and plant introduction
of the Department of Agriculture.
The distinguished Japanese is
suffering from heart trouble and is
expected to live but a few days.
To the average citizen of wash
ington the name of Jokichi Taxa
mini may not mean much, but it
is due to the generosity of this
Asiatic friend of America that
Washington has the unique collec-
tion of cherry trees whose pink
and white blossoms evoke the ad-
miration of tourists every spring.
The history of the trees. which
were planted in 1919, is interesting
both from the viewpoint of Anglo
Japanese amity and of romance,
for today in the gardens of Tokyo

trees were sent to the mayor of
Tokyo some years ago in recogni-
tion of the gift of the cherry trees
to this country. They have Jared
well in the soil of Nippon and are
now one of the sights of the jap
anese capital.
DR.. Takamini first conceived the
idea of obtaining trees for the
American government upon seeing
the flourishing condition of several
specimens placed for experimental
purposes in the gardens of DR..
Fairchild's country residence. I'm

At Takamini's expense the mu-
nicipality of Tokyo collected 1000
young cherry trees, which were sent
to the United States in 1909. Un-
fortunately, upon their arrival in
this country they were found to be
infected with plant parasites and
it was necessary to burn them In
January of 1910
DIR. Takamini was not discour-
aged, however, and once more a
fresh lot of 1000 trees was collect
ed by DIR. Takamini in 1912 and
brought to this country Upon
their arrival they were pronounced
free from disease by government
botanists and were planted along
the Tidal Basin, where they have
come to be one of the features of
Washington.

MASTER PHOTOPLAY
TOHAVE DEBUT HERE

In a telegram to William H.
Rudolph, hsi personal representative
in Washington, Louis B. Mayer, the
motion picture producer, yesterday
definitely set at rest the report that
the plan to present his first super
special photoplay at a 50 scale
Of prices was to be carried out in
Washington instead of New York.
The plan to present The Woman
In His House." with a specially
acted prologue at a Broadway thea
ter with admission charges rang
ing up to 81, was abandoned in
order to take advantage of the su-
perior judgment of the Capitals
patrons of silent drama in plac-
ing a national exhibition value on
a picture that will not be released
for national distribution until De-
cember.
Although the Crandall policy of
uniform prices, regardless of the
magnitude or appeal of a picture
Is not under any conditions subject
to variation, this attitude on the
part of Mayer is unique in thea
trical practice. His telegram to
Rudolph stated:
Woman in His House" must play
Washington at regular house prices.
I positively forbid increase notwith-
standing greatness of picture. Two

ington but not before"
