on that day. It is not expected that
tho high prices prevailing last Janu

tain that the decline in mule prices
will not be out of line with the de
fines in other commodities. Iioth
cotton and sugar prices are down, aud
it is to be expected naturally that
mules to be used in the growing of

nothing like as lively as in January

By HENRY KINNEY.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
TOKYp; Jmy Mail): The city of
Tokyo has been' excited by the discov
ery of widespread graft in the munici
pal government. Numerous ,arrests
have already been made and the po
lice say, that .many more ;.will .follow.-.
Captain Shiroki, chief of the criminal
investigation section of the police
says that he feels certain that there
's not a single municipal enterprise
in the Japanese capital which will not
show irregularities.
The inveseigation so far has con
cerned itself mainly with the street
improvement and sewer departments
of the city government. The persons
arrested include a number of officials
and contractors. It has been found
that exorbitant sums have been paid
by certain officials for the gravel
which is the principal material used
in road and street construction, large
bribes having been given freely by
groups of contractors. Graft has
shown in the contsruction of the new
great Meiji shrine, opened with great
pomp in commemoration of the late
emperor. This made a great impres
sion on the people, who feel that at
least that enterprise should have been
immune.
in Japan, which like most other
countries in the Orient, is the home of
"commissions" and similar gifts and
presents which would be termed graft
in western countries, official pecula
tions of this kind must be extremely
vicious before they attract attention.
The police say, however, that in this
case they intend to investigate to the
bottom. In this they arc backed by
Count Oki, minister of justice, who
says that both Tokyo and Kyoto, the
former capital, are rotten with graft.
BISHOP ATKINSJO BE IN LIST
Dr. Stoves, Col. John Emmett Edger
ton and Other Strong Men Among
the Ministers and Laymen Will Be
Heard During Coming Week.
(From Wednesday's Daily Herald.)
Biginningf on next Sunday morning
the First Methodist church will nb
servo the centenary of its establish
ment as a station of the Tennessee
conference. This event occurred 100
years ago last October and the cele- .
bration will bo in commemoration of
that fact.
The exercises will last at the local '
church for a solid week -with exercises'
fvcry night. Some of the "big guns"
of the Southern Methodist church will
be on the program which has been ar
ranged by Dr. W. R. Taylor, the pus
to. Among the distinguished speakers'
will be Bishop Atkins, possibly Bish
op Candler, Dr. Stoves, of West End,
Nashville, Methodist church and Col.
Johi Emmett Edgerton, president of
the Tennessee Manufacturers associa
tion, and one of the leaders among the
laymen of the church. Col. Edgerton
directed the work of the great mis
sionary campaign, in this conference
two years ago.
Methodists here are looking forward
with great, interest to this week's cel
ebration which marks a milestone in
the achiovements of the church in this
section of the state. The First church
here, outside of two or three churches
in Nashville, now has the largest''
membership of any church in the Ten
nessee conference. Not only that its
annual budget is among the largest in
.the conference and it has for many
years more than met every financial
call -made upon it. ;
The public, irrespective of denoin'i- '
rational preference, will be invitcrf'to
hear the strong men of the' church
discuss the great problems of the
present day in the light of the experi
ence and achievements of the past.
