Japaucu tu,ui K. 1 MmiMbiiia. tee-f rcuilfjii 'iuklo tiaabrr Commerce; S. Sheba, Honorary Secretary Tolclo Caamber of Commerce. Yamashina. vice-president of the Tokio Chamber of Commerce, and S. Sheba, first honorary secretary of that or ganization, head the party. Mr. Yam ashina is heavily interested in indus tries, including shipbuilding, and Mr. Sheba is manager of the Morimura Trading Company, Ltd., engaged in shipping. They are accompanied by S. Terada, acting as private secretary to both of the commissioners. After devoting the forenoon to In specting various industrial plants, the visitors were escorted to the Chamber of Commerce for luncheon, with mem bers of the special committee that welcomed them for the organization. together with representatives of the Japanese association and M. Shige mitsu, Japanese Consul. An informal programme was had following the luncheon, attended only by the few who had participated in the forenoon trip and those who chanced to be at the tables. W. D. Wheelwright wel comed the commissioners of the Tokio commercial body in a brief address, to which Mr. Yamishina responded, speak ing in his own language, which was translated by Mr. Sheba. "It is out of date to speak of the co-relationship of America and Japan." said Mr. Yamashina. "We still retain the feeling we have had since Perry came to our door and led us out of the Isolation of the past. "It has been a great privilege to see your shipyards and industries. This is not a time to speak about the things we have seen. But when we return to Japan we shall whisper to those who are associated with us in building ships there of what we have seen here. And when the Kaiser is brought to his knees we shall talk very loud of the things that we have seen over here, and of the way in which you are preparing to take a great place in the commerce of the world with your ships. "After peace is restored, I believe there will be a great activity in China. There will be commercial development in Manchuria and in Siberia. Now, we come to bespeak of you co-operation in the development of China- I want to appeal to you for a spirit of co-opera-tio with the Empire of Japan in the commercial development of the Far Eastern countries. Your ships that you are building here will go to Japan, to Africa, to the South American coun tries, but we want your co-operation In the development of that great trade which we feel is going to mean so much for the future of the shipping of both nations in China." Mr. Yamashina concluded by drawing a lesson from a fern dish on the table, with, flags of the two countries ar ranged around its border, in the rela tionship that the United States and Japan should bear to China. The sun flag of Japan and stars in the United States emblem were held significant of eternal existence as are the sun and stars in -the universe, and with these flags planted in commercial de velopment of China, the living green was deemed significant of growth, prosperity and happiness 'f the popu lation of that country. M. Sheba spoke briefly in forecasting trade expansion, in which he said there is 4uao certain to be some spirited com petition. But the folly of engaging in commercial war, he opined, had been euf ficiently. demonstrated, so that neither of us should have any excuse to make that error. Mr. Sheba proved a clever after-dinner speaker, well versed in American epigrams and with a fine ftense of humor, well utilized in his ex cellent command of the English lan guage. Last night the visiting representa tives of the Tokio Chamber of Com merce and members of their party were guests of the Japanese Association at a dinner served at the Multnomah Ho tel. They departed on a late train for Seattle, where they will spend today. They will visit Vancouver, B. C, thence proceed via Spokane to Denver, via Salt Lake City to Los Angelas, thence East via the southern route and will make visits to the principal cities of this country, terminating at New York Jan uary 7.

Extract from Mayor's Statement on Public Health and Safety. No Halfway Measures Here MEIER & FRANK'S has given full force to every request of the Mayor and Health" Authorities directed toward the lessening; of the Spanish Jnf luenza menace. We have published what these requirements were and we have shown how this store has stood apart conspicuously from all others in the scrupulous exactness with which it has ob served them. We have established certain safe guards of our own, not the least of which is that We Have Discontinued Advertising Merchandise This determination to eliminate items and prices from our store announcements is, it seems to us, so palpably wise and unescapable in its logic as a preventive measure that every institution in like cir cumstance to ours should adopt it without longer delay. To such we point out that the immediate losses, if any, in dollars and cents sustained by reason of eliminating the purely commercial element from store announcements in this emergency, will be more than made up for by the greater good will of 'the public recognizing the spirit of real helpfulness that prompted the course. The least any "store, any individual, should do is to abide faithfully by the injunctions of the Mayor and Health Authorities. We should all act as one To Stamp Out the Influenza GUARD PROMOTIONS MADE Provisional Appointments in Oregon Organizations Also Announced. Provisional appointments, and promo tions of officers of the Oregron Guard ere made public yesterday, as follows. Colonels. Major Horace E. Coolidge, Captain Kmest M. Smith. Major J.

Search for Arthur C. Davis, the miss ins clerk at the East Side Bank of Portland, continued yesterday with no results. The chase has developed into a three-cornered race between two pri vate detective agencies and the police, all eager for the reward and the credit of capturing the man charged with rob bing the bank of J1S.500. H. M. Newhall, president of the bank, last night branded as absurd a report in an afternoon paper that young Davis had taken 1100,000 worth of securities. Mr. Newhall admitted that the thief had taken mortgages and deeds represent ing property worth that sum. but main tained that the documents were of no more value to the thief than so much blank paper.

In explaining the purpose of the closing order. Mayor Baker said the idea Is to eliminate all possible in ducements for people to go downtown day or night or to remain longer than necessary if they do go. "we want to rid the streets of shop ping crowds befpre rush hours," said the Mayor, "to get store employes home before rush hours. We ask merchants who do not close to refrain from sell ing merchandise sold by those who do close. The closing is not intended to stop essential work except to close offices to public at 4 P. M."
