HONOR TO EMPEROR PAID BY JAPANESE Coronation Celebration at Re ception and Luncheon ) u Brings Tributes. MR. WITHYCOMBE SPEAKS Consul Traces Progress of Xation and Explains Significance of Ascension of New Ruler. Friendship Is Pledged, PORTLAND JAPANESE DO HONOR. TO THE NEW SOVEREIGN OF JAPAN, EMPEROR YOSHIHITO. KYI ti A salute of the royal photograph, a thrice repeated "banzai," and a toast to the lone life and happiness of the new Emperor of Japan, participated in by the mot prominent Portland Japan ese at the home of K. Kumasaki, 540 Seventeenth street, Japanese Consul for this district, constituted the formal ceremonies attending- the recognition, by Portland sons of Nippon, of the ac cession of Prince Yoshihito. to the throne of Japan. Tn full military regalia, Mr. Kuma saki welcomed his countrymen to his home to participate in the acknowl edgement of tne new ruler to "a new Jaj;an." The reception continued through the afternoon and as many Portland Japan ese as could leave business affairs for the afternoon visited the home of Mr. KKumasakl and paid tribute to their newly-made soverign. Luncheon CVIven at Multnomah. The formal ceremonies were preceded by a luncheon to 85 business, profes sional and official men of the city at the Multnomah Hotel. The luncheon was held in the ball room of the hotel and with British, American and Japanese flags predomi nating as the decorative scheme, and with chrysanthemums giving a dis tinctly Japanese flavor, speeches, teem ing with expressions of good will for the new Emperor and with the hopes that the friendly relations now ex istent between this country and the one across the Pacific would be forever continued, were given. A toast to the new Japanese soverign was proposed by Oovernor Withycombe and K. Kuma saki toasted the health cf President Wilson. At the conclusion of the luncheon, Mr. Kumasaki said in part: In . thanking you for the honor of your presence today it is not necessary, I fee! sure, for me to remind you of the signifi cant of this day to the Japanese people. Most of you are sufficiently acquainted with the history and the institutions of my coun try to understand, the reverence with which we look upon our gracious sovereign, the Kmperor and the loyalty with which we uphold hi beneficient rule. Celebration la World-Wide. All ovr the world today the loyal sons and daughters of Japan are meeting to cele brate the formal accession to the throne of a now sovereign. His rein will be known to history as the era of Taisho. which liter ly means the era of great justice, and its events will be summed up In the life of the Lugusi young sovereign wno today - takes his roal seat. Always the accession of an Emperor has been hailed by the Japanese people with re joicing and the succession of each new sovereign to the throne of his ancestors has been the occasion for the renewal of the loftiest hopes and aspirations of our people. The event which we celebrate today, how ever, differs in many significant respects from slmilur events of the past. It is now nearly 48 years since an Kmperor was crowned in Japan. During that time what changes have taken place! In 1 SOS when his majesty of sacred mem ory. Melji Tenno, was crowned in Kyloto, Japan was just emerging from her long night of seclusion. If there ever were a day when a good Japanese should stand us and exhort his People to prove worthy of your confidence and good will, this is the day. The coronation ceremony of this day takes place under conditions which never before existed in the history of our countrly. Com pelled by forces which were superior to the national will, she has crossed the threshold of that doorway which, DO years ago. led from jealous seclusion to full participation In the world's affairs. Today she stands out in the broad light f day upon the arena of human activities. Mecause I believe that you are in sym pathy and will help- in this campaign of good will I have asked you to came here today to Join my people in celebrating the formal accession of his imperial majesty, (overnor Withycombe la Speaker. In introducing Governor Withycombe, the second, speaker. Mr. Kumasaki re marked on the circumstance that a man of his race and color should be intro ducing Governor Withycombe to his own people. Preceding the toast proposed by the Governor to Kmperor Yoshihito he de clared that "it was a pleasure for him to be able to be present at such a mo mentous occasion, as it meant so much to this theater of maritime activities that such relations should exist be tween the United States and Japan." Mayor Albee was an invited guest, but was unable to be present and was represented by Commissioner t. G. 1'ieck. who deemed it a "great distinc tion to be allowed to speak and laud a country that, particularly upon close study, commanded admiration." H. B. Miller, ex-American Consul at Tokio, declared by Mr. Kumasaki to "have done more than almost any other man on the Coast toward pro moting the friendly relations between this country and Japan." said that he had the "highest regard for the Japa nese people and their government, and thaLupon thorough investigation there seemed to be. to him. no other govern ment that so successfully represented the needs of the people as does the government of the Japanese Empire." Toast l.lvrn to Kmperor. At the conclusion of his talk Mr Miller read a toast to the new Emperor nd Empress, composed in verse by W. It. Hardy, one of the three survivors of the crew that Commodore Perrv had with him when the ports of .Tan an were opened to foreign commerce on July 14, 1853. It was then, said Mr. Miller, "that Japan awoke from her isolation and took her place among the nations oi xne eartn. w illiam D. heelwright, "without wnose presence. said Mr. Kumasaki. "no social gathering was complete." paid a tribute to the fine hosnitalitv of "his personal friend," Mr. Kuma saki. for inviting "almost strangers to share in the recognition of a new Km peror to the throne of Japan." He also pointed out the fact that Japan was the oldest dynasty in the world and that the civilisations of the American people and those of Japan were the same, although they had at tained the same civilization through different channels. Japan reaching hers through lur own effort and the Amer ican Nation being founded on, the tra ditions and customs transferred from one people to another through count less generations.
