mier. addressing a meeting today.
strongly attacked the plan to exclude
japanese from America by treaty. He
said that hitherto immigration had
been restricted under a voluntary
agreement because it was realized
that restriction was prejudicial to ia
pans prestige. The present effort to
make restriction statutory, he said,
was an act Of infidelity to Japanese
American friendship.
He expressed the opinion that
Washington would be able to stop
Californian measures by enlisting
public opinion of the whole country.
If Japan's appeals to Americas sense
Of international morality failed. he
continued, only force remained. ia

otherwise the question would lead up
to an outburst Of self sacrificing pa
triotism for which the Japanese peo-
pie are noted.

Five Cases Of Smallpox
ePupils Being Vaccinated

Vaccination of pupils is now on and
il is expected that all of them will
have received the treatment by next
Monday morning at the latest. There
are at present five cases of smallpox
in the city. but while all OF them are
light. all precautions have been taken
TO prevent the spread of the disease.
In spite of this however. it is expect
ed that there will undoubtedly be a
few more cases of smallpox as two of
the children who were sick were not
reported to the health officer until
after being sick two or three days
Many parents object to the vaccin
alton of their children on account of
the cold weather. but it is required by
a statute law and is for the protection
of the larger number. SO the order has
to be complied with, despite ones
personal feelings.

AUBURN YOUTH HEARS
WIRELESS CONVERSATION

Lewiston, NOV. ID Hello. leu

One Two Three Four Five Six"
Perley Woodman, the 1I-year-old
son of II. H. Woodman of 63 School
street sat up in establishment Sunday
night at the board where he was lis
tening in on commercial wireless
with his amateur set which he has
rugged up. He heard the above sal
utatien spoken distinctly. This is be-
lieyed TO be the first wireless tele-
phone message 10 be heard in either
vision or Auburn and possibly in
the State. He worked feyerishly try
ing to tune up his instrument So that
he could hear some more OF the con-
versation and identify the station.
The operators were using the same
wave length as the commercial wire
less. but the mans voice was drown
ed by the buzz OF wireless messages
although Perley and his father heard
the mutter of conversation for some
time afterward.
Woodman had been having a con-
verSation with another Auburn anna
teur Monroe on Pleasant street, and
had just stopped talking with him. Il
listened III on some ships talking
down on the coast" he said, and l
had just tuned up TO get the CONNER
cial which uses about a 600 wave
length when / heard the mans voice
say:
Hello, Ted Jones. Ted Jones. Hell
10! / tell YOU" and then he started
counting evidently so the other man
could tune up his instrument to re-
cciye him. but other messages coming
in drowned it out and / couldn't hear
any more although / tried for some
time 10 tune my instrument to re-
ceive it. ! was using a crystal and
if my bulb had been working | might
have been able TO hear more"
There is no known station with q
wireless phone sending apparatus
nearer than New York and il might
have been one of the New York sta
lions talking with a New Jersey or
Pennsylvania man. but it is interest
ing 10 know that it is possible to hear
one of the stations here in Auburn
and the local amateurs viii be wait
ing anxicusly now nights attempting
to listen in and identify the unknown
wireless phone.
There are over a dozen in Lewis
ton and Auburn with wireless sets
with which they listen in and hear
all the latest news which flashes thru
the atmosphere by night as we'll as
hear the various ships OF the coast
talking with each other or with sta
tons on the shore.
Woodman has very complete re-
ceiving set and also a powerful send
ing instrument with which he con-
verses with others in Lewiston-Au-
