>n the imperial palace enclosure es-
pecially erected for the occasion at a |

- were held tonight.
Dominating the scene within th- ]
imperial banquet hall was the ele-j
v*ttd platform from which the em-
peror with his consort on his left I
presided. The great pavilion is a
triumph of the art of the Japanese 1
woodworker of gleaming fresh white |
wood and mirror-like lacquered sur- I
faces.

emperor wearing his full dress uni-
form as generalissimo previously
announced by the master of ceremo-
nies entered the hall accompanied

perial dais while members of the im- j
perial family ranged themselves in
rows to the right and left of the
throne.
Gorgeous kimonos representing j
the most exquisite embroidery art;
Japanese women throughout the hall
wore splashes of color which blended
dramatically with the rich back-
ground of tapestry while the cen-
tral scene where the imperial family
was seated under a blaze of light
formed a picture of striking mag-
nificence.
The emperor opened the feast by
reading an edict voicing his satis-
faction and joy at the completion of
the great ceremonies of enthrone-
ment. To the representatives of the
foreign governments he expressed
his wish for the happiness and peace
of their respective countries and
closer friendly relationships between
their countries and Japan.

^ Giichi Tanaka on belialf of the Jap-
^ anese subjects present responded
tendering their congratulations and
expressing their thanks for the hon-
or of being invited to the grand ban-
quet. Dr. Wilhelm Solf the German
ambassador and dean of the diplo-
matic corps replied to the emperor’s

Wichita Falls Society Woman
Bosses Drillers; Obtains Oil
r\wfo
Mrs. Kork Kelley
WICHITA FALLS. Tex.. Nov. 16.—:
Pouring uo from the sand more
than 2.000 feet underground at the
rate of <1000 worth a day oil is
making Mrs. Kork Kelley Wichita
Falls society matron wealthy.
Six times she has Dossed crews of
roughnecks in the oil fields in the
work of drilling wells on an oil
lease she holds in Waggoner's “pas-
ture” Wilbarger county about 50
miles west of Wichita Falls and
six times she has seen her hopes
and efforts end with defeat. She
brought in six “dusters” or dry-
holes.
Undaunted by these reversals Mrs.
Kelley who looks more like one to
grace a tea table at an afternoon
bridge party than a “boss” in the
oil fields sent the drill down for
the seventh time an at last she has
hit “pay.”
Her husband Kork Kelley is a
successful oil drilling contractor.
Kelley has brought in a number of
wells for producing companies in the
Texas fields but the venture in the
Waggoner “pastures" as the big
ranch is called is Mrs. Kelley’a
own.
Fully 18000 people visited in Sep-
tember the plant at Howden England
where Airship R100 is being con-
structed.
Five minutes after being stung on
the hand by a wasp Mrs. Eliza
Earley 49. of Reading England col-
lapsed and died.
Say Millionaire
Refused to Pay
‘Over 50c a Day
PARIS Tex. Nov. Iff.—(IP)—In an
effort to shake testimony of two
physicians who attended the late
William J. McDonald Paris capital-
ist in his last illness contestants’
attorneys in his will trial hare yes-
terday brought out the fact that the
aged financier once was said to have
returned from New Orleans where
he had gone to have an operation be-
cause he "refused to pay more than
50 cents a day for a hotel room.”
Dr. L. P. McCuistion declared the
incident did not indicate McDonald
was abnormal mentally as has been
claimed by relatives.
Both Dr. McCuistion and Dr. R. L.
Lewis were positive that McDonald
was normal mentally to the day of
his death. They said they had known
the eccentric millionaire for 40 years
and that they were as convinced of
his sanity as thoroughly as though
they had given him a mental exami-
nation.
When he died several years ago
McDonald bequeathed approximately
$1250000 to Texas University for
construction of an observatory with
$120000 divided between his rela-
tives.

BE EXCLUDED
_
Port Committee O p-
posed to Boundary
Changes
The Brownsville port committee
will not consent to any changes in
the boundaries for the proposed
Brownsville navigation district or
the exclusion of any territory in-
cluded therein was the announce-
ment of the committee following a
series of conferences Thursday aft-
ernoon.
Members of the committee pointed
out that the total valuations of Los
Fresnos residents who are protest-
ing inclusion in the district are ap-
proximately $400000 or about 3
per cent of the total valuations of
thed istrict. These lands for the
most part are surrounded by lands
of owners who desire inclusion in
the district it was stated.
At the hearing to be held Sat-
urday. it is understood tl at a num-
ber of Los Fresnos landowners will
file protests agairst inclusion in the
navigation district. However there
are a large number of owners in that
section who desire to be included
members of the committee stated
and expressed the opinion that when
Los Fresnos opponents to the dis-
trict plan ascertain the value of the
port project they will be practically
unanimous in supporting it.
The hearing on organisation of
the Brownsville district was orig-
inally set for hTursday. November
15 but was postponed upoi. motion
of Commissioner Logan of San Be-
nito in order to permit conflicting
interests to get together. A large
number of interested property own-
ers are expected to attend the hear-
ing which will be called at 9 o’clock
Saturday morning.
Members of the port committee
a!%o pointed out that to make any
changes at thi time would result in
further delay of 30 days in order
to comply with the law stating that
such delay might prove fatal to the
port project in which the entire Val-
ley is interested.

about five bottles. I gained in
weight and strength; was much
