Ambassador to U. S. Once Declined Offer as Too Great an Honor. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, Japan, January 7.—Persis- tence has won for the prince the hand of a commoner. The engagement of Prince Chichibu, 25-year-old brother of the Emperor, to Setsu Matsudaira, 17-year-old daugh- ter of Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese Ambassador to Washington, was con- firmed today. Official announcement is expected shortly. Negotiations for the engagement were begun informally last July by Baron Kenjiro Yamalawa. Ambassa- dor Matsudaira declined the offer be- cause he thought the honor too great for him and his daughter. A second offer was made by Count Kadayama. The ambassador was finally persuaded to yield to the wishes of the royal household. Dowager Empress Approves. The dowager empress is under- stood to be in favor of the marriage, having chosen Setsu some time ago herself. Prince Chichibu is well ac- quainfed with his prospective bride, which is somewhat unusual in the case of Japanese marriages. No imperial prince can marry the daughter of a commoner, according to court regulation. Ambassador Mat- sudaira whilé~a member of a noble family is himself a commoner. Con- sequently Setsu will be adopted, it is believed, by one of her relative peers, either the Marquis Nabeshima or Viscount Matsudaira, before the mar- riage. Prince Chichibu i3 the second son of the late Emperor Yoshihito, He was educated at Oxford. He is a lover of outdoor sport. He returned to his native land by way of the United States when his father was taken fatally ill. Embassy Here Is Silent.” In the absence of official notification the engagement of the daughter. of uneo Matsudaira, the Japanese Am- bassador, to Prince Chichibu, the Japanese embassy declined to com- ment on the dispatch from Tokio. Deemed adept in following her mother’s footsteps as a poetess, Miss Setsu Matsudaira speaks Knglish fluently, and plays tenn The Am- hassador’s wife in Tokio was first lady in waiting to the empress, Prince Chichibu’s mother, and was her Eng- lish interpreter. Miss Matsudaira is 17 years old, and while she has not yet made her debut, she has accom- panied her mother to several teas and other social functions in recent weeks. She took a conspicuous part in the re- cent ceremony here in which the Japanese good-will dolls were pre- sented 1o Americans. Prince Chichibu was - received ' by President Coolidge in private audience at the White House, December 30, 1926, and during his stay of several days in the capital was a guest at the home of Ambassador Matsudaira, at 1321 K street. Miss Matsudaira may some day be Empress of Japan, as the prince is the wecond son of the late Emperor and heir to the throne. He was born June 25. 1902, The prince studied at Oxford, and was a student there at the time of the | death of his father, the late ror, % back to to attend the fuheral rites pal visit to Washington.

SOCIETY." HENDERSON FARM GIVENTO COLLEGE Senator’s Widow Makes $2,- 000,000 Contribution to Battle Creek Institution. - Mrs. John B. Henderson, widow of: the former Missouri Senator, has made, with certain stipulations, gifts’ of land and money totaling approxi- mately $2,000,000 to the Battle Creek College, to be used in the interest of” race betterment, it was learned here today. The gifts, announced by Dr. John H. Kellogg at the Race Betterment Conference in Battle Creek, Mich., in« clude a 4,000-acre farm in Missouri and a $200,000 fund. The money will not become the property of the insti- tution until’ Mrs. Henderson's death, and until that time she will be paid ¢ per cent interest for its use, Mrs. Henderson explained here today. “The farm has been a sort of white elephant on my hands,” Mrs, Henderson said, “but it should be & very valuable acquisition to the in- stitation, for its soil is deep and rich and well adapted to the raising of rice and other cereals. That is what the Battle Creek people plan to do with it. “As for the $200,000, they don‘t actually get that until my death. and they are to pay me 6 per cent interest until then. I judge the farm is worh from one to two million dollars. While I had it we undertook to get ofl from it, but were not successful. I'm glad the college can make some use of it for 1 am very interested in its work. News of the gifts was received today through the Associated Press, The dispatch said that Mrs. Hender- son has been interested in the race be terment movement for 30 yearsy The combined gifts, Dr. Kellogg ane nounced, will be used to promote the work of the college, to provide lec- tures on the subject of race better- ment and to spread information rela. tive to the promotion of health and the prolongation of life.
