TOXIC, Aug. 32.-The number Of
foreigners coming to japan for sight
seeing is decreasing every year. This
tendency is chiefly due to the high
prices of commodities in Japan. An
other reason is that there are not
enough hotels IN Japan to accommo-
date foreign visitors. According to
the Japan Tourist Bureau the number
of foreigners who came to japan dur
ing the last year was 25,eoo persons, a
decrease of 1000 compared with the
previous year. Most visitors are
Americans and Chinese.

CROWN DENIES sPEAKERsHIp
 DEAL WITH RoRABAc1l

Characterizing as an. absolute false hood and unequivocally a misrepreseu- tation of the facts, State Central Com. mitteeman Daniel M Cronin of New London last week stamped as untrue that portion of Hartford Times arti- cle, mentioning his candidacy for speak ership of the next house, concerning his lineup with the Roraback faction in- stead of the Gates faction.
 The article implies a deal whereby Mf. Cronin, though friendly to Hon. Charles A. Gates of Willimantic and inclined to vote for him as chairman of the republi- can state central committee, was held in fine by United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee for R6rs p4ck, aiid for his reward he is to have the spAakership ol the house next January. , Mir. Cronin declares that the story c. a deal is pure fabrication 1; that he ha: never talked with Senator Brandeget regarding the chairmanship of the state central committee and. there was nS influence brought to bear upon him cou pied with any promise of reward O any sort whatever.
 MT. Cronin, for that matter Is nd
 yet nominated as representative iron
 New London. There is no doubt bu what he will be next Monday night. bu | he has yet to receive the nomination ant
 also an election before he can obtat the speakership.
 i His friends expect to see him elected
 however, and they also believe that hi
 chances of the speakership are lIkewis l promising.

An Impatient Cir.

pear upcle Jed It was two days be- fore Christmas. Ella Martin was sit ting at the window. She was working on beaded necklace, which she intend- ed giving to her chum for Christmas. As she worked her fingers few faster and faster. until the work was almost com pleted. All, at once everything seemed to go wrong. The threads would not pull right and the beads would not go on straight. Wishing to finish the neck lace before dark, Ella, who was an i'm patient girl, gave the threads an unnec- sarily hard jerk, when they became tangled. The threads snapped and tho work of many weeks was destroyed in a second. Therefore she was unable tc give her friend the beautiful present which she had been preparing for her
 It was very sad thing which had hap.
