EFFECTS OF
ROYALTY SOLD
England Watches the Posses
sions Of Late Empress
Sold at Auction

London, Sept. 1o.-Members OF
England's oldest and highest families
stood with almost fearful eyes when
the once priceless effects Of the late
Empress Eugene of France were sold
under the hammer at ridiculously
small prices, but still beyond their
improved purses. The goods sold
were principally Her late Hajesty's
Aaressinges, slippers, gowns, iaces and
furs.
Most of the stuff was bought by
dealers, although some of the former
empress servants and followers were
able to buy small articles.
The hundred and sixty lots brought
about $4,000, which would hardly
have paid for one of the court gowns
worn at the royal festivities in the
days Of splendor.
A lot of rare Alencon lace brought
81, lis and a fur stole 1925. A beau
tiful rug into which was woven the
royal cipher with the arms of Spain
and France, given to the empress on
her wedding day by the carpet MAX
ers of SEVILLE, was bought by a
Frenchmam and will BE presented to
4 French museum. II is supposed to
have been on this rug that the EN-
peror Napoleon III and Empress
knelt when they received the bless
ing after their marriage.

URGE JAPS
QUIT MIKAD0
This Would Prevent Dual
Citizenship, Says Consul
General

Honolulu, Sept characterization
japanese have been urged to expa-
triate themselves from Japan, to
avoid the evils of dual citizenship,
by Keiichi Yamasaki, japanese con-
sul-general here, in an address be-
fore the student teachers at the sum-
mer session of the territorial normal
school.
He asked the teachers to explain to
their American-born pupils of Japan
csc percentage the difficulties arising
from dual citizenship and to advise
them to expatriate themselves.
\ The misunderstanding regarding
the citizenship of American born Jap
anese arises from no fault of the
United States or Japan, but lies in
the fundamental differences in the
laws of the countries, he said. The
United States holds with Great Bril-
tain that children are citizens Of the
country in which they are born, re-
CARELESS Of the citizenship of their
parents, while Japan takes the atti-
tude of several continental European
countries that the citizenship of chill
dren born in foreign countries is
that Of their parents.
The consul-general explained that
Japanese girls may obtain expatri-
alton at any age, but that boys must
expatriate themselves before reaching
the age of II or after the age of 81.
He said that the next diet would
consider bill to remove the age re-
quirements, which are imposed be-
cause men between those ages are
subject to military service. y
