JAPAN RULER SERIOUSLY I'LL,
PRESS AND PEOPLE BELIEVE

Tokyo, Aug, l. (By MaiD.-While
for some years the poor health of
the emperor Yoshibito has been sub
iect to serious concern to his sub
jects, and while it has often been
rumored that he was far more ser
iously i'll than proved to be the case,
it is evident that during recent
weeks his condition has become fair
ly serious.
During the past week rumors have
several times had it that the en-
peror had died Such reports gain
credence owing to the fact that in
Japan the death of an illustrious per-
son is often concealed for many
days. One of the first indications
that matters were becoming serious
was the announcement that the
Lady Aiko Yangahara Niino Tus-
bone, the emperor's mother, has
gone to the great shrine at Ise, to
pray for his health. One daring
newspaper even stated that the EN-
peror was suffering from brain
trouble, as has been quite generally
reported but this paper was very
soon visited by the police. 1t is
understood that it has been warned
that a second offense of this kind
will result in it's suspension for good

IS 1T PETRIFIED FISH, BONES
OR OLD TINE CRITTER, OR WHAT?

It's petrified fish or petrified head
lettuce, or cord wood or a part OF
the anatomy of some prehistoric ami
NAL, or something. That last hits it.
It's something.
For several days those who stop
at the Daily Express office to bring
a want ad, a tip on a story, kick
or just to say howdy, have been
making guesses as to what it is. The
thing was carted to this office by
f. C. Hail. He received it from the
hands of Dan Hill who unearthed
the object some IA feet under the
ground while he was digging a cis-
tern for Mr. Hall at his new home
on Chickasha avenue.
These guesses have run the gamut
of possibilities and impossibilities
but the indications are that if the
guessers have their way, the petri.
fled fish will carry a considerable
majority. The object is composed OF
several layers of hard substance,
and between each layer is rather
soft, chalky substance.
The theory of the petrified fish
crowd is that some Indian buried
the fish and forgot to dig them up.
Some hold to the idea that the
thing is a bone of some prehistoric
"critter," but the fact that no other

PORTLAND, Ore.-William Howard
Taft went on record here as opposed

otherwise ancapacitated.
Mr.. Taft declared the proposed
Armenian mandatory was inadvisable
for Armenia and the Armenian gov.
eminent could not be self-supporting
and that some self-supporting country
should be associated with the United
States were a mandate even to be con-
sidered.
