TOXIC, Japan, May 26.-The corner
stone of the new American embassy in
Toxic was laid yesterday afternoon in
the presence of a large gathering in
Guiding the highest Japanese officials
and American residents.
Ambassador William r. Castle, r.,
said:
I'VE hope that the new building may
be an ornament to reconstructed Toxic.
But an embassy fails If it is only a
shell, no matter how attractive. 1t fails
If it merely houses men and women
who carry on routine work. It must be
a. habitation of the spirit of service to
both America and Japan. It must be
a center of understanding. Those who
work within its walls must consecrate
their lives to the fulfillment of this
Il hope that this stone, impervious
to attacks Of the elements, may in a
material sense typify that spiritual
friendship between our two countries
which will Withstand the eternal attacks
of slanderers and mischief makers. In
this continued understanding and
friendship Is enshrined our confidence
of future happiness and peace"
Prince Tokugawa Speaks.
Other speakers were Prince Tokugawa
president of the America-Japan Society
and president of the House of Peers,
who said, in part:
1.-The foundation of the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan,
which this ceremony so beautifully
synbolizes, was laid two-score and IS
years ago by the first American envoy
to Japan, Townsend Harris, who was
largely instrumental In introducing US
into the family Of nations. The corner
stone was then so firmly laid and the
structure Of our relations so stoutly
built that 1t remains inpervious to all
assaults.
1.-THE ties that bind US, like the &C.
naent under this stone, become more
firm and solid with every passing year.
The ground upon which this building
10 laid Ia already hallowed by many
associations. II was originally the site
Of temple and IL is one of our popu-
lar beliefs that good fortune attends
such sanctified ground"
Dinner Given Castle.
The other speaker was Viscount
Sfibusawa, who, despite his 80 years
Of age and recent Ill health, attended
and made o touching address on the
ever-growing better understanding be-
tween the two countries. to which work
he has devoted virtually a lifetime.
The last Of the series of profuse and
cordial entertainments In honor of Mr..
Castle prior to his sailing tomorrow on
the President jackson was q dinner
given tonight by Foreign Minister Baron
Shioehare ut his otiicial residence.

FAMOUS VIOLINIST TAKES ROLE
OF BEGGAR TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Street Concert With $4,000 Stradivarius
Nets $5.74 and Proof Music Is
Appreciated for Itself.

The famous violinist undertook his
beggars role to decide a dispute con-
corning whether the public appreciated
music for itself or was attracted by the
magnetism of society audiences and the
fame of the artists. With q group of
friends he conspired to play the beggar
on a corner Of Michigan Boulevard.
Through the hours Chicago passed in
review, slowing its pace and stopping,
differently perhaps, to hear a pauper's
art, SO paSSers-by dropped their
pittances for the fiddler in so minutes.
And only twice in the long day was
the concertmeister recognized, once by
theater guild director and once by
some casual listener who approached as
the violinist stepped toward cab and
said:
you can't fool me. Mr.. Gordon; what
fraternity Is initiating you?"
So Jacques Gordon settled for his
conspirators that people go to concerts
because they love music. And he gave
away to charity the $5.74 box ONCE"
receipts Of street corner recital by q
concertmeister on $4,000 Stradivarius

Populace, Terror-Stricken, Remains

Out in Search of Food.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RANGOON, India, May 27-Sixty
deaths were reported officially tonight
in two days of disorders attending q
dock strike in this Burman capital.
Many more are believed to have been
killed in the rioting between Burmese
coolies and Hindus, with whom the
police have been battling unremittingly
since yesterday morning.
The streets tonight were deserted ex-
cept for police and the contending
factions.
The rioters were armed with iron
bars, sticks and daggers.
POpuIace Terrorized.
The situation was so bad that police
on several occasions were obliged to
fire into the mass.
The populace was thrown into terror
by the rioting and remained indoors
afraid to venture forth even for food
The problem of feeding the terror
stricken thousands this evening became
acute.
Military forces were stationed at all
an influx of those who might wish to
take sides in the fighting.
Disorders Spreading.
The gloom of beleaguered city de-
scended this evening upon the capital
The rioting, originally confined within
small area along the water front,
gradually had forced itself upon other
zones.
Heaps Of building materials with
which many structures were being re-
paired after the recent earthquake pro-
Vded the rioters with an ample supply
Of ammunition and barricades to carry
on their assaults.
An oflcial report Of the casualties,
not counting those of today, indicated
tina TAO had been treated in hospitals,
including % for gun shot wounds. These
figures, it was emphasized, did not in
clude persons who had received treat
ment at the scene Of the riots on the
water front, and did not include today's
figures.
