Takarabe, minister of the navy.
Mrs. Cyrus E. Woods, wife of the
American ambassador, and her mother
have gone to Kobe, where they will
reside temporarily.
American business men who left
Yokohama by the first available
steamer after the disaster are drifting
back to Tokio, having altered their
previous view that business would
move to Kobe and Osaka. Paul Mes-
ser said he had changed his opinion
that the head office of his organiza-
tkn, the American Trading Company,
should go to a southern city. Since
his return to Tokio, he explained, he
had found the people “optimistic, de-
termined to maintain the capital as
the business center of the nation."
Modern office buildings that escaped
the fire are being repaired rapidly to
accommodate such firms. Buildings
beyond repair are being dynamited.

ly defined. He would of course be
expected to poll a pretty strong vote

ernment circles, Mayor Yet sug-
gested, but outside of this fact his
strength would!probably largely lie

mayor of one of Texas’ largest cities
would also bring him political prestige
and added votes. Mayor Yett believes.
Mayer Yett declined to state what
his sentiments were as expressed in
his letter answering Mr, Kirk’s solicit-
ing support and counsel for the Hol-
combe boom.
