MANAOS, Amazonss, Brasil (#).— Overpopulated countries are turning more and more to Brazil and the Ama- zon Valley is attracting its share of settlers. Germans and other Northern Europeans are going into the states of the south, but Japanese predominate here in the Amazon country. In recent months two projects on the Lower Amazon, both in the state of Para, have been taken up by Japanese colonizers. At the same time, in this the largest and least developed state agriculturally, two concessions were granted to Japanese and one to Poles. ‘The largest of these is a grant by the Amazonas government to Kiuroku Awasu of 2,500,000 acres to be paid for within 50 years, whereon 10,000 Japa- nese families will be settled. A ller grant is to Kosalcu Ohishi of 60,000 acres to settle 250 Japanese families. The - grant to Konrad Rogoyski of Poland embraced 2,500,000 acres. ‘16 assassination of an American President, William McKinley, took place. The building then was the Temple of Music at the Buffalo, N. Y., Exposi- | tion. Receiving a line of visitors in it, | McKinley was fatally shot by Leon | Czolgosz. Aurora men bought the | building at an auction and set it up| here as a coliseum. Later it was a| roller skating rink and finally a movle; house. It is to be razed this year to make way for a more pretentious ficker palace. . Records Moved Under Guard. Under guard and with the utmost | secrecy thousands of the most valuable | books and records of the British gov- | ermmment, stretching back over many | centuries, were recently moved by trucks | from the record office in London to Canterbury prison, abandoned as a prison, for storage. Many of the books and documents are invaluable and irre- placeable. CHICAGO and return Saturday-Sunday April 19-20 Tickets good in coaches on regular train Leaves Washington Satur- day, 11:10 A. M.
