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. For that
reason the demonstration mado a pro
found Impression, which blo was
manifested In official clrcli-s. The
American charge d'affaires was among
those at the hotel when tho dunce was
raided.
No interference was tendered the
ronln by tho police, who were said
to have been told of the program In
advance. XewMpapcr photographers,
also forewarned, were stotloned In ad
antageous positions about the room
where tho demonstration look plate.
Rat Plea Is Denied.

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.

Cancer Cause Learned.

COURTSHIP Is nil promises-marriage
Is mostly eitii promises.
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

but not the discovery that sh wear

Love can survive a quarrel or a mur
