Toxic, Aug. 24.--The death OF
Premier kato was apparently due to
a complication of maladics that
weakened his heart
Admiral Baron kato was born in
1859 and had distinguished career
in the naval, administrative and
diplomatic services before he was
elevated to the premiership last year.
While the report was current early
this afternoon that Japan's premier
had died at 1:20 p, m. official con-
tirmation was withheld until shortly
before : o'clock. The exact cause of
death was not announced, but the
Japanese press with some show of
authority has been stating that Baron
Kato was suffering from cancer u,
The attending physicians, however,
reported stomach trouble and hem
orrhoids and issued reassuring bulle-
tins to the last even that of noon to-
day saying simply that his condition
had grown worse since midnight with
some signs of exhaustion. 1t was
added, though, that little improve
ment had been shown since midnight
and that the patients heart was caus-
ing anxiety

sidering British proposals for a new
railway guard in China received an
urgent message 1t was said that
oxygen had been administered, but
that the premier was in a comatose
state and death was expected mo-
mentarily.
1t is understood that Foreign Min
lister Uchida will act as premier until
after the funeral The entire cabinet
then will resign and new one will
be chosen under whoever is appoint
ed premier. Among those mentioned
prominently for the premiership are
Count Gombel Yamamoto, an EXPIRE
mier and retired admiral; Governor
Len of Formosa, Governor Saito of
Korea and Baron Maxine, a member
of the house of peers who has held
cabinet portfolios and diplomatic
posts. @
Premier Kato's illness was Of long
duration, but until recently it was not
regarded as serious. 1t was said Off

PARCEL POST INCREASING
American Export Business Grows Very
Rapidly, Statistics to be Kept in the
Future.

Washington, Aug. .24.--The Ameri-
can export business by mail and par
Gel post is growing so rapidly that
department of commerce officials have
decided to ascertain so far as possible
the extent of this business of which no
statistics ever have been kept. 1t is
believed to run into high sum each
year, which will swell the total value
of the foreign exports Of the United
States.
Plans have been completed to COL
lect, beginning with January, 1924,
statistics of exports by parcel post and
mail, which have not been collected
heretofore because such exports are
not cleared through custom houses.
Tentative regulations, subject to APP
proval by the Postmaster General,
have been drawn UP requiring business
concerns in the United States export
ing by mail goods valued at $40 or
over to file export declarations.

ices for an attorney for the District

that the matter of permanent paving

there was a possibility of bond is-
sue in the event that concrete roads
were constructed. The committee, he
stated, had made a complete survey
Of every section of the park and that

before the committee had been taken
up with District officials.

TAX SALE FOR 2 CENTS
THREATENS DIFFICULTY
Collector Towers Says Regular
Bidders Will Not Likely
Bother With It.

There is one piece of property to be
sold for taxes at the annual auction
sale at the District building this week
which Collector Towers probably will
have difficulty disposing Of
1t is being sold for delinquent taxes
to the outlandish amount Of 2 cents,
plus the 50-cent fee for advertising
it for sale.
Asked how SO small a tax bill could
exist, Mr.. Towers said 1t probably
was the tax on a small strip of land
left over where two or three new
streets intersected.
The collector of taxes has little
hope that any of the regular bid
ders at the tax sale, which opened
at 10 o'clock this morning, will
bother with 1t and 1t is likely to re-
main on the Districts hands.
In buying property at the tax
sale the purchaser merely pays the
tax the rightful owner should have
paid. These buyers then hold the
property for two years, and if the
owner decides to redeem his land he
pays the purchaser the tax, with a
penalty of / per cent a month.
The sale will continue until Satur-
day afternoon. There are approxi-
mately 1000 parcels to be auctioned
for taxes amounting to more than
100000.
