the Kyoto festival, however, there were chorus

speed OF American musical shows. For the
geisha dancers music is supplied by an orches-
ira, sometimes also composed of girls, using
mostly Stringed instruments which do not have

pleasing. The players occasionally sing, too.
CoStuming delights the eye because Of the

out charmingly in the serving of tea before

AttentiOn.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.

~T JAPANESE interest in the first annual
Cherry Blossom Festival to be held
in Washington this Spring is
mounting as the event draws nearer
and the plans for the festival take
~ more definite form. The press in
Tokio and other cities in Japan already has
commented favorably upon the project and
There are indications of both official and pri-
waite assistance to the washington committee,
of which Charles w. Darr is honorary chair
man and Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, chairman,
within the limits feasible in view of the dis
tance between the two nations.
It already has been decided that the festival
will be held at what is known as the later
cherry blossom season in washington. The
general weather conditions are still too variable
for any accurate forecast to be made Of the
date when this season will begin, for If the
open Winter should continue the trees would
blossom earlier than usual. A later Winter, OF
course, would retard the season and there is
time yet for anything to happen in the weather.
The proposal that the festival here be fea-
kured by dancers and other artists from Japan
Is o question that has received attention by
those in charge, with several important factors
70 be taken into account In diplomacy and
otherwise, but whether or not such a feature
Is arranged, q program calculated to attract
many more thousands of visitors to Washington
shan have come hitherto Is believed to be as
kalEed. AS the years pass the festival programs
of course Japanese dancers in the United
States who might be available If the long and
costly trip from Japan seems to be an obstacle.
ENHE significance of the cherry blossom season
to japanese is explained authoritatively as
being based on the idea that the blossoms be-
token tho arrival Of Spring, or the time Of
natures revival. It is symbolical of plenty and
eenewed life. While Japan observes the chry-
eanthemum season impressively, and the wis
taria. plum blossom and Autumn foliage sea-
sons, too It Is the cherry blossom season which
holds first place In popular esteem.

Japan, Overseas Travel Magazine gives a poetic

ONES attitude toward the daily events Of

creasing significance in the past few decades,
due to the fiux and how Of our civilization.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 20-
The United Mine Workers Of America
made efforts today to dispose Of the
accumulation of committee reports and
other business that still faces the thirty
frst constitutional convention after
nine days of meetings.
Delegates hoped that during the day
they could hear the report OF scale
committee and take action on It. as
well as completion of the reports OF the
constitution committee.
Although John L. Lewis, international
president, expressed the opinion yeSter-
day morning to the delegates that the
convention might be able to adjourn
today, 1t hardly appeared probable,
unless the remaining business Is dis
posed of hastily.
When the body does adjourn, Illinois
delegates, approximately 81 in number,
will remain over for day In conference
with the international executive board.
Most Of the day was occupied yester-
day In debate over two constitutional
amendments, one of which would have
removed from the international board
the power to levy and collect assess
ments, and the other to take from
President Lewis the power to appoint
international organizers. Both were
rejected by overwhelming votes.
The convention, already having out
lined its action against the Illinois in
surgents by summoning the ''rump"
leaders to appear before the interna-
ttonal union to show cause why they
should not be expelled from the union,
went q step farther in its move to pro-
tect itself against the new faction by
authorizing Lewis to revoke the charter
