Hirohito Visits Isle Where Perry Landed TOKYO, Sept. 14. — Emperor Hirohito, incidental to attending the naval maneuvers off Kyushu recently, became the first Japan- ese ruler to visit the Bonin Islands. The Emperor inspected Chichi- shima Island, the largest of the group, inhabited by some 7,000 persons, including 70 foreigners of American, English, Hawaiian, French and Canadian descent, most of whom are naturalized Japanese citizens. The majority of them are fishermen and live in small cottages roofed with the leaves of banana trees. Interest attaches to the island because Commodore Perry dec there with his fleet 70 years ago and established » coaling station. During the restoration period, when it was made clear that Am- erica did not wish to take over the islands, more than 130 for- eign seamen drifted ashort theve. Many of thes: remained. Upon the Emperors’ visit one [ ot the oldest residents, Benjamin Shevery, presented His Majesty with a cannon ball supposed to have been left there by Perry. ——————— A masquerade dance will be given by the Women of Moose- heart Legion on Hallowe’en. adv. .
