Washington. D. c., Jan. g.
Word of the death of Marquis
Okuma, Japan's grand old man"
came as a shock today to japanese
delegation to the Washington confer
ence and the delegates as well as
members of the japanese embassy
staff and other leading Japanese now
in this city voiced their deep sorrow
at the loss the Japanese empire has
sustained. No official report of
Okuma's death had been received at
the embassy tonight.
Prince Tokugwa one of the Japan
ese delegates to the Washington con-
ference who as president of the
house of peers had come into official
contact with Okuma, said tonight:
Marquis Okuma has achieved
great things for his countrys Our
misfortune in the loss of Prime Min
lister Hara is now made two-fold by
the reported passing away of fam
Gus statesman whose accomplish
ments are known the world over.
Okuma gave his life and the best
that was in him for the development
of his country"
Prince Tokugawa added his belief
that Marquis Okuma in his son.
Nobut Sne Okuma, would leave a
successor who would follow in his
fathers footsteps. The son, he. said
would inherit the title of Marquis
and become a member of the house
of peers.
Masanao Hanihara, the vice for
eien minister who is also one of the
chief delegates to conference, re-
ceived his education in Wasedauvy,
the famous institution at Toxic
which was founded by Marquis
Okuma
AS soon as confirmation is received
members of the delegation will dis
patch messages of coincidence
Marquis Okuma in addition to fol-
lowing affairs of state was keenly
interested in all activities affecting
the young men of the empire. The
is the largest in Japan and has a
student body of over 5000.
Okuma's interest in healthful
sports as a means of developing the
physical strength of young Japan
was intense and he had often been
seen an eager spectator OF the
American game of baseball which
had become the great national sport
OF New Japan.

THE KENDALL PLAN

Interesting from a financial point
the State as a whole was d no Il
plan presented by w. B. Kendall of
! Bowdoinham for the immediate ac-
quisition by the State of a consider.
| able area Of State forests. at the an
nua! convention of the State Forestry
| association held Friday in Augusta
| He favored a public subscription for
| this purpose, the fund to be turned
over to the State for it's use at inter-
est until a certain amount is OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Kendall started the
movement with subscription and
others followed.
Mr.. kendalrs plan would call for
sum payment OF perhaps ten
cents from every present resident Of
the State of Maine, providing thus a
nucleus of $4,000, which set aside at
five per cent compound interest
would in 100 years amount to over
81, 500. 600 Bonds for this amount
! could be issued at once, according to
Mr.. ken0all's plan, provided the
State through its Legislature. would
agree to pay the semi annual interest
on these bonds until their maturity.
Or as an alternative plan. the original
gift fund, instead of being invested
in a bank. might be turned into the
states own bonds, and the interest
on these employed for the acquisition
of additional bonds. BY consistent
following of this policy the original
issue would be entirely in the posses
sion of the state at the end OF 100
years, and the state would have ac-
qured forest lands with an initial
value Of $7.500.000 at the cost only OF
, interest on this amount. Y Mr.. Ken
dali assured his hearers that long be-
fore this the state forests would have
been yielding handsome profits which
could have been applied either to re-
firing the bonds prior to maturity or
10 other work connected with the
development of our forest resources
He sanctions the plan because il
makes provision for the building up
of "a body of forests which shall be
a whole"
This plan" said Mr.. Kendall. "was
| suggested to me by the town of Bow
doinham's celebration some ten years
ago of its one hundred and fifticth
/ anniversary. At that time practical
ly every citizen in the town contri-
bntsd sums ranging from cents to
$25 to fund to be set aside at COM
pound interest for 100 years and then
used for the benefit OF the town.
Here is a list Of the contributors, :"

five feet long and containing the
names OF those participating in the
celebration. That the plan is ac-

tied in 1912 in various savings banks

rant itself, communication between tne
two buildings being accomplished by

warehouse mon were engaged IN carry
ing the liquor to two large automo-
bile vans, each case being checked by
the agents who stood guard in the res
taurant and the streets outside. The
seized liquors included scores CT cases
of Scotch and rye whisky. champagne
and other rare wines gin and cordials.
Word of the seizure soon spread
through the Tenderloin district and
the crowds outside became so dense
that police reserves were called to pre-
serve order and kep them moving.
While the laid was in progress. Mr.
Dunston, the proprietor, was being
tried in the federal district court on

Shortly before midnight the jury,
which began deliberations this after
noon, rturned a sealed verdict to be

Hale Would Care for
Maine Soldiers Who
Missed Decorations

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 6-(SpcciaD
To-day Senator Frederick Hale in
troduced in the Senate of the United
States a bill extending the time of
awarding decorations to soldiers and
sailors OF the World War and which

Massachusetts in the House. The bill
was referred to the committee on
military affairs. 1t provides that
Paragraph of the section relating
TO medals OF honor. distinguished
service crosses and distinguished
service medals contained in ans act
making appropriations for the sup
port of the army for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1919 he revived and
continued for six months after the
passage of the act.
Should the bill pass Congress.
those who received no decora ton
would receive it at the hands of the
president providing the recommen-
dation accompanied by the necessary
certificaton for the award be sub
mitted to the war department by the
officer who made the original recon-
mendatiOn. The war department
would in turn submit the original
recommendation to the decorations
board for consideration.
Several instances have been called
to the attention of Senator Hale of
soldiers in Maine who did not receive
the coveted decoration although in
stances have been cited where the
recommendation was made but be-
cause of the time limitation they now
have no status under the old law, the
time having expired when awards
the old two and by extending time
six months longer from the passage
of the act will give to those through
out the country an opportunity to
receive decorations. Should this
hill he reported favorably by the
committee and receive the favorable
action of Congress it will give to the
soldiers and sailors or in case they
have died their next of. kin the
decoration originally intended for
them.
Under the present two according
to the war department officials. a
recommendation for the decoration
must be made within two years from
the date of the act Of service per-
formed and that no award of the dis
tinguished service cross shall be
awarded after three years from the
date of the approval of the act.
