Japanese seeking to solidify national sentiment against the new law excluding them from the United States carried their campaign Into the foreign quarters here Saturday. breaking up a dance at the Imperial hotel. A band of 30 ronln, or political ruffians, raided the dance, and by In ultlng and profane speeches and ac tions created such a disturbance that a free-for-all fight was averted only by Interference of some of the calmer Japanese guests, who persuaded the Intruders to leave. The ronln took possession of the dance floor and made a number of bitter and profane anti-American speeches, which they punctuated by dances with swords drawn. Two American women tainted. It was learned from authoritative Japanese sources friendly to America that this demonstration was only part of a larger affair which has been plan ned with the Intention of evicting all Americans from the country. Handbills scattered by tho ronin before they departed demanded de portation of all Americans, boycotts against American merchandise and motion pictures, exclusion of Amer icans from Japan, abrogation of nil treaties between the two countries and "abolition of the evil of dancing, which Is ruining our country." The handbills bore tho signature Great Forward association." Up to tonight, tho American com munity here had not directly felt the ffects of the enactment In tho United States of the exclusion law.

J. Bar- rlngton, and ono against the Portlund J Seed company. Wushlngtou, D. C. -Congress ended its six months session Saturday night In an atmosphere of controversy and turmoil characteristic ot tho bitter dis sension which has marked its proceed ings from the start. Western senators and representa tives lu tho final hours ot tho ses sion fought and lost a despcruto fight for legislation to relieve the farmer and to reform the reclamation policy ot the government. Many other measures, including the bill authorizing construction of eight new cruisers and modernization oi battleships and the deficiency appro priation bill carrying funds to begin operation of the bonus law and for many other purposes, fulled In the tinul crush ot legislation when the ses sion ended automatically at 7 P. M. Not only did the deficiency bill go down In defeat in the raco against time, but a special resolution adopt ed In the lust five minutes by the house to make the bonus appropriation available regardless, was lost In the senate. Republican leaders declared that only a special session ot congress could provide the necessary funds for the initial casts of the compensation measure. The deficiency bill Itself was block ed at the last minute by Senator I'ttt man, democrat, Nevada, because the omission ot a reclamation appropria tion proposed by him, and action on the emergency bonus res dution was prevented by objections by Senators lioruh, republican, Idaho, and King. democrat, Utah. Tho postal salaries Increase bill,' passed by both senate and house by almost unanimous votes, also went by the board when Presldnet Coolldge vetoed It on the ground that it was "extravagant." No effort to call it up tor re-passage was made in the short time remaining. A renewal of the Teapot Dome de bate In tho senate, growing out ot a futile effort by Senator Walsh of Mon tana to obtain approval ot the ma jority report of the oil committee, tied up business at that end of tho cupitol most ot the afternoon. The house cleaned up many minor bills, but spent most of the day quur rellng over the reclamation legisla tion, which had been attached by the senate to the deficiency bill. The principal features of the administra tion's reclamation plan finally were accepted, but other changes were made to which the senate would not agree. With hands that tire and hearts that ache The world will want, not all we plan Will tlnd a welcome yet a man Will have a few who will believe, Will share his hopes, bis dream per ceive ; One blessing ev'ry path attends: The great good fortune of good friends. Not all the wealth we wish Is ours; Nut all our seeds will brlug us fiow'rs; Not all th visions seen ahead Will turn to substauce; roofs ot red And spin's of silver, walls of Jud And streets of alabaster fade; And yet, eternal as the hills. On wealth our coffer often fills, lleinalns when ev'ry vision ends llie great good fortune ot good frleuds. Not all our motives understand; However well our work Is planned. However well our work Is done, The world will always question one. The little hurts, the sudden tears, Their shadow s throw across th years ; And some will doubt, a few will hat, Kor so the siiihII reward the great; Hut all Is well If heaven sends The great good fortune ot good friends. $ br Mcl'lur.

A man enjoys klsilng some girls a lot of the time, and a lot of girls some of the time; but what appals him about marriage Is the project of kissing Just one girl ALL of the time and having to protend to enjoy It. Tr Marriage Is the Great Adventure, for most of us; and the only monoto nous thing ntiout it. Oenr heart. Is the monotony of constant surprises. Sometime", a woman wonders If, af- iter all. little George Washington's admission that he cut down the tree wasn't like the average man's admis sion of bis sins, more of a boast thso a confession. The girl whose frock Is a little too low, whose skirts are a trifle too high, whose lips are a Mt loo red, and whose slnng Is a shade too strong, might reiliH-t that even the Lorelei couldn't have charmed men, If she bsd sung too loud. A woman's love can survive the dis covery that a man has robbed a bank or kissed another woman, but not th discovery that be uses a toothpick. A man's love can survive th dis covery that a woman ha cheated at card or flirted with another man but not the discovery that sh wear a transformation. Love can survive a quarrel or a mur derbut not an onion.
