After an extensive tour in this coun-
try. he said the committee went back
to Japan and reported that after a
thorough investigation here they We're
unable to find out what the Christian
religion was, and in their opinion ia
pan had better stick to Buddhism.
Senator King said that America has
taken the lead in urging the peaceful
arbitration of disputes, and that if ii
is possible to get World Court with

Lorania Beckwitb, heiress Of a wealthy
Providence, r. l.. family, who died In
Los Angeles in February, 1925, opened

Providence, r. l., took the baby to
Berkeley, where it was adopted by

the child at the request of the mothers
attorney, ]. s. O'Neil of Boston. d. p.

Miss Hodgkins offered to surrender
her adoption and guardianship and
this was taken under Amusement by

and Dolan is established. She said the
offer was made SO there could be no

BreakWater and
Cottages Damaged
At HAMPTON Beach

Hampton Beach, N. II, Feb. Is
(AP)-A northeast gale which swept
the coast here since Sunday subsided
early today after it had wrought havoc
with the White Island section Of this
summer resort. A portion Of the break
water had been carried away and two
cottages undermined by the heavy tides
and swept out to sea. Forces of SAL
vagers led by the selectmen today
strove to save two other cottages by
snoring them with timbers.
An 11-foot tide at o'clock this
morning completed the work of wreck
age begun yesterday. The cottage of
Mrs. Thomas Dillon of Haverhill,
Mass, VALUED at s5000 and that of J..
NJ. Finnegan of North Andover. Mass,
valued at $4,000, were swept away. The
summer home of l.. c. Ring, chairman
Of the Hampton board of selectnen,
was undermined but was still standing
this morning, and fourth building
also was in a shaky condition.
Two northeast gales, one last week
and one this. weakened and finally
broke away a 25-foot section of the
breakwater. The wind rolled up ex-
ceptionally high tides and the back
wash drew out the sand from beneath
the buildings along the shore. Mem
hers Of the board of selectmen said to-
day that the immediate danger was
past unless the wind again turned to
the east or northeast. The breakwater
was built two years ago. Estimates
of the damage ran high into the thou
sands,
