M. C. A auditorium last night, when debater's representing the Los Angeles Polytechnic High School Japanese Stu dent association defeated their Jap anese rivals from the Pasadena high school by the narrow margin of 285 points to 2SO. The Judges, were Presi dent G. A. Bovard of the University of Southern California, Principal Francis of the Polytechnic and Principal A. L. Hamilton of Pasadena high. The debate, the first of its kind ever held in this part of the state, was skill fully conducted on both sides, and a largo audience, composed of Japanese anil Americans In about equal num bers, listened attentively to the argu ments presented. Incidentally the little brown boys from both school* proved that they can give their white fellow classmen a few pointers when it comes to class yells and class enthusiasm.' .:' KVTO I.K.XKS OFF 'Y. Kato of the Polytechnic opened tin' debate for the affirmative of the question by declaring universal suf frage to be an American principle founded upon the Idea that there can be no Just government without the consent of the governed. "My honorable opponents," said. he, "will tell you that woman la repre sented by her man: but Is she so, hon orable Judges ■' and gentlemen and ladies? Suppose, a man has a widowed mother, a wife and a daughter. He cannot represent them by his vote unless, like Cerberus, the three-headed dog, he can turn himself Into three men at once. '• ■* "Wo.call this a government of th« people, hut half the people are denied the right to say how they shall be hon orably governed; we call it a free gov ernment, but there can be no freedom without a bargain, and this os a bar gain in which women have no share. Statistics show'women receive 50 per cent less wages than'men for the same labor. a dlsenfranehlsement of labor always is a cheapening of labor. Is it lair, I ask you, to give the throwing of a vote to any ignorant pauper ton elgner who lands upon these hospitable shores and not to women? simply inn "Today American men, by their dis enfranchising of women, have made themselves subjects of foreign rule. In Minnesota, : for Instance, the foreign born voter outnumbers the native-born and rules him because the women are dishonorably deprived of Shelr votes. ],t is a barbarous Idea to consider women Inferior to me In any way. Why, honorable Judges, I ask you, why are you superior to your mothers or Bisters?" K. Watanabe of Pasadena high, speaking for the negative, said that .suffrage is not a natural but a political right. "Like our honorable opponents," he said, "we believe we are created free and equal, but women are not equal to men physically, and likewise men lire * not equal to women ln some respects; , just the same aH s the dog is not equal to the cat, v be cause the dog la a watchdog of thieves outside the house and the cat is a watchdog of ruts Inside the house. They are not equal because their na tures are different. So nature made man to protect women and J>e a bread winner, mid nature made women to be protected and to be homekeepers. That la nature.

Holcomb, one of the old-timers In this .section, celebrated two not able events In his career Thursday. May 5, sixty years ago, Holcomb, thru :i stalwart youth, set forth from his home in lowa, and with an ux team turned his face westward, to the land of gold. The next notable event which the day celebrated ws^s the tiling: on the first sold claims in Holcomb valley. This (tm on May 5, Just fifty years ago. He located those first claims, and in looking backward Thursday wrote to W. S. Little, a fellow pioneer: "I have displayed great ability in steering .

The letter was found aftor the sub marine had been raised. Portions of the letter were brought to Victoria to day on tlie steamer Aymeric. The submarine was of the newest type and was engaged near Hiroshima bay, carrying out its pmt In the maneuvers, being submerged 1800 yards east of its parent ship. Two hours passed without notice of the submarine's failure to rise, and the usual naval signals being unanswered a boat wns lowered and efforts made to locate the submarine. Seven destroyers were ordered to the scene and a search made. The submarine was located April 16 and next day it was refloated and towed to Kure. After the craft was docked an examination revealed the bodies of the commander and crew and also the record of the commander, tell ing what happened from the time the vessel sunk. OOMHANDBB VtUXBtM mkn Much of the message was not pub lished, but it is stated that Ueut. Sakuma expressed sorrow to the em peror for the loss of his vessel and brother officers and crew, whom he praised for their heroism and calm wait for death. He requested the emperor to succor their families. The last writing was made an hour and twenty minutes- after the boat was submerged and conveyed messages of farewell to the minister of the navy and friends, stating that breathing bad become so difficult that further writing was impossible. The letter said one of the crew had tried to close the valve of the ventila tion pipe, but the chain had broken. He. trie.] to close the valve with his hand, but was too late. Water began to enter by the rear part of the beat, which fell "26 degrees. The dynamo was submerged and all the lights went out, bad gas accumu lating almost simultaneously and mak ing breathing; difficult. The crew drove the current of water from the main tank and tried to pet lid of It by hand pumps. They were drenched as they worked and also chilled. The message ended with statements that all were ready for death, realiz ing no more could be done, and they hoped for forgiveness for the loss of the vessel. The submarine was being tested on a gasoline, semi-submerged voyage.

Resolutions were adopted ratifying the compromise and urging the people of this city to support the proposed issue of $1,000,000 in bonds for exposi tion purposes. The action of the meet- Ing was virtually unanimous.

Floating through the open transoms of a witness room today the words quoted seemed to tell of a desperate frame of mind in some of the men most interested in the grand jury in vestigation oC bribery charges against Illinois legislators. State's Attorney Wayman's immun ity bath accepted another refugee today in the person of Michael S. Link, Democratic representative from Mitch ell, who made a confession similar to those of the two first "squealers," Representatives White and Becke- meyer. A night in the custody of a detec tive with an indictment for perjury against him proved too much for Link. Today he went before the jury and changed his testimony, and the charge of perjury against him was quashed by the state's attorney. It is said to be Mr. Wayman's de termination to deal leniently with the "small fry," that he may make sure of the "men higher up." Lee O'Nell Browne, alleged to have handled the Lorimer money, and Rob ert K. Wilson, charged with having distributed the "jackpot" at St. Louis, furnished bonds today. Representa tives Clark of Vandalia and Blair of Mt. Vernon were among the day's wit nesses. » Of three "mysterious" witnesses who went before the inquisitors two were discovered to be Allen C. Tanner, gro cer, and J. J. Baker, newspaper pub lisher at Mt. Vernon, Blair's home. They were required to testify about alienations that Blair was usually "flush" with money following the ses sion of the legislature which elected Lorimer. No new indictments were returned.

NEW YORK, May 7.—"Will I tell you the salaries we actually paid our prin cipal singers last season? Sure," said Arthur Hammerstein this afternoon. "Opera is an expensive pastime," Mr. Hnmmerstein continued. "None but millionaires unmindful of cost should dally with It, except in such rare in stances as that of my father, who has genius for it. Roughly, it cost him an average of $55,000 a wek to keep open the doors of the Manhattan opera house and Philadelphia opera house last year. That iigure for the season of twenty weeks means an expenditure of $1,100, --000. "Of course the salaries of the prin cipal singers In grand opera have been exaggerated by reason of their per sonal vanity, by assiduous press agents, by newspaper* and public credulity, but they are big enough In plain truth to be imposing.

He was taken to central police headquarters a.id will be arraigned before Police Judge Chambers tomorrow morning. Patrick disappeared several weeks ago. An accounting of the finances and status of the company's affairs had been requested of him. A meeting of directors and stockholders was held. When Patrick was asked pertinent questions regarding the funds of the corporation lie left the meeting to go to an upstairs room on a pretext of some kind. He passed through the room, climbed through the window to the roof, descended a fire-escape and fled. A few days before Patrick's depart ure Loefus T. Sherer. his uncle and the president of the company, also disap peared. When Patrick disappeared it was thought that he met Sherer and that they had left the city. Patrick refused to give any information regard ing his actions since his escape or the whereabouts of Sherer. Shortly after their disappearance nu merous complaints were received by the district attorney's office, charging them with passing worthless checks. William V.

ON TRAINS 10* INSURANCE COMPANIES CAUGHT FOR MILLIONS BY KING'S DEATH; GEORGE V PROCLAIMED SOVEREIGN New Ruler Makes First Speech After an Impressive Ceremony in St. James Palace; to Emulate Father MINISTERS RESIGN; ARE REINSTATED Funeral of Victoria's Son to Be Like That Jof Mother; Thousands in Lon don Put on Mourning [ Associated Pros?] LONDON, May 7. —Several million pounds sterling of insurance on the life of King Edward wiU be paid by Lloyds and other companies. As late as yesterday afternoon the risk was ac cepted at 65 guieneas per cent. When the late monarch was ope rated on for appendicitis the insurance companies demanded 80 guineas per cent. The promoters of many exhibitions and merchants who arc likely to incur loss through the death of the king, make a practice of carrying an insurance on his life. George V was proclaimed king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India by the lords of the empire and the privy council in St. James palace at 4 o'clock this afternoon. London is a city of mourning. Thousands are wearing mourning in some form. All plan- of amusement have closed; all public functions have been abandoned. The funeral of King Edward VII will be similar to that of his mother, Queen Victoria, More royal personages will attend than followed his mother's body to its mausoleum. King Edward's body still lies in the room in which he died in Buckingham palace. The features are natural. Monday trumpeters clad in scarlet and gold will enter the city to proclaim in various squares, with fan-fares, that a new king reigns. King George made his first speech as king when he was pro claimed today. He spoke briefly because of his emotion. He prom ised to follow the example set by his father as king. Royal personages from many of Europe's courts already are on their way to London to attend Mie funeral of the dead monarch. LONDON, May 7.—Saturday to usual i ly the gayest night of the week * in London, but tonight a Sabbath like quiet pervades the city. It Is a capital in mourning. All theaters and music halls have closed their doors: the band concerts in the parks, which drew tens of thousands of the working: people dur ing the long spring twilights, are abandoned. , The people wander Idly about the streets, looking- at the portraits of Edward VII. wreathed in crepe, in the .■imp windows. Multitudes drift into St. James park, staring at the dark ened windows of Buckingham palace, where the body of the dead king lies, and Marlborough house near by, through the gates of which officials and messengers come and go constant ly. Here the new king has had to set aside his personal grief to busy himself with the affairs of crown and family. MANY WF.AB MOIHNTNG Many wear badges of mourning. The whole kingdom. Indeed, is a na tion in mourning. Ireland has forgot ten its political grievances against its sister isle. The Irish papers speak kindly, appreciatively, of King Edward The mayors of such national strong holds as Dublin and Limerick have sent messages of sympathy to the. widow. Municipalities, churches and socie ties of all sorts have met to pass eulogies on the late monarch and of fer good wishes to his successor. The courts and business houses have been closed- sports and entertainments of every type have been dropped; society has cancelled its engagements. The managers of most of the metro politan theaters have decided to bus pend the season until after the funeral. While King George was signing the proclamation of his accession in the presence of his privy councillors, who came in uniform and wearing brilliant decorations, in the medieval little St. Tames palac4 this afternoon, a battery in the adjoining park was firing sixty eight minute-guns, the age of his pre decessor. KING (iEORCE MAKE! iPBBCH The first utterance of the new king wai marked by feeling of eloquence and made a deep impression. He said: "My Lords and Gentlemen: My heart la too full for me. to address you in more than a few words. It is my sorrowful duty to announce to you the death of my dearly loved father, the king-. In this irreparable loss. which baa so suddenly fallen on me a.nd the whole empire, I am comforted by the feeling that 1 have the sympathy of my future subjects, who will mourn with in" tOT their beloved sovereign, Whose own happiness was found in sharing arid promoting theirs. I have lost not only a father's love, but the affectionate and intimate relations of ; , dear friend and adviser. "No less confident am I in the, uni versal and loving sympathy which is assured to my dearest mother in her overwhelming grief. Standing here a little more than nine years ago, our beloved king declared that so long as n-as breath In his body he would work for .the good and amelioration of his subjects. I am sure thnt the opin ion of the whole nation will be that this declaration has been fully carried out. FATHER.

I am encouraged by the knowledge that I have in my dear wife one who will be a constant helpmeet in every endeavor for our people's good." An Immense but quiet multitude pressed about the palace for a sight of George V, who passed with but little appearance of state. He wore an ad miral's uniform and was attended only by two officials from Marlborough, house. The new king was greeted in silence and with bowed heads as ho proceeded to the palace, only a stone's throw away, while his two sons watched him from over the wall. The lord mayor of London, with the sheriffs in state coaches and robes of office, made a gaudy show, but Vis count Moroly of Blackburn and other eminent privy councilors arrived in. hansoms and pushed their way through the crowd. FEATURES OF I>EAI> NATITRAT, The body of Edward VII still lies in the chamber where he died. His fea tures are much more natural than though he had suffered from a long illness. Dowager Queen Alexandra, King George and Queen Mary, with the two boy princes and other members of the royal family, visited the chamber this afternoon. The palace attendants and servants were admitted afterward. The plans for the funeral have not been determined, but the royal cere monies and public mourning will follow - the same procedure as when Victoria died. The court will move to Windsor Cas tle on Tuesday and it is supposed that the obsequies will take place there, the body of the late king to rest either in St James' chapel there or in a mau soleum to be built at Frogmore, near that which Victoria erected for herself and consort. It was announced tonight that there would be no lying in state. More royal personages are expected to come to England for the funeral than followed Victoria's hearse. Th>» German emperor Is certain to attend, both because ha is tho head of a neighboring state and a near relative. The kings of Belgium, Spain and Port ugal and possibly King Victor Em manuel of Italy will also be present. All the crowned heads of the world, as well as the pope and the presidents of the United States. France and other republics, have telegraphed condol ences to the dowager queen and Kinjr George V. These, however, are con sidered personal messages and have not been published. roan rr~* TAKE oath Both houses of parliament had a brief meeting this afternoon.
