ORIGINAL ENBASSY BUILDING 1S LOST First U, 8, Structure i Japan Destroyed in Earthquake New York, Sept, 28.—The original embassy bullding of the United States government in which Townseng Har- ris, first American minister to Japan, resided during the period when the empire was being opened to western elvilization, was among the buildings destroyed by the Japanese earth- quake, Advices recelved at the Epis- copal ehureh headquarters here say that when the ti wave in the shape of a wall of water Afty feet high swept over the Tsukijl section of Tokya and wiped out 8t. Luke's Inter- pational hospital, and half a dozen other Episcopal church institutions, it carried away the ancient embassy bullding which had- been in use for various purposes fora Imost seven centuries, . Originally the 8hin Shiu Buddrist | Temple of Zempukujl (Bhrine of Vir-| tue and Happiness), which had been founded by the famous philosopher Icho, In the year 1232 A, D, the structure was almost constantly in use as a shrine untll July 7, 1889, when Townsend Harrls accompanied by a company of American sallors from the United States ship Mississippl, raised the Stars and Stripes over the rcof of the edifice and established there the first American embassy in Japan. Harrls in the preceding Jan< uary had been appointed minister to Japan by President Buchanan, after two years of gruelling work resulting finally in negotiating the first com- mercial treaty between Japan and the United States. is treaty opened up half a dozen Japanese ports to the commerce of the world and marked the beginning of Japan's membership in the sisterhood of nations. The treaty was signed\ in the bullding which has been destroyed by the earthquake. It followed by six vears the famous visit of Commodore Jerry to Japanese waters, and the appoint- ment in 1857 of Townsend Harrls as consul general to the empire. From that time onward until extra territorial rights were abolished in Japan, the American legation was: lo- cated in this Buddhlst Shrine; and the entire Tsukiji section, later to become one of the most populous wards in Japan, was given over to the nses of the foreign population of Tol then knewn as Yedo. In 1860, i-Chris- tian riots swept over Tokyo, and the Japanese government requested all foreigners to move to Yokohama, where their safety could be better %as- sured. Minister Harris declined abandon his post. “My duty is here,” he said, “looking after the interests of my govern- ment." He remained at the legation throughout the storm, notwithstand- ing a direct attack on the building, and the assassination of Henry Heus- ken, his secretary and interpreter, for whose death he later forced the Jap- anese government to pay an indem- nity. From 1890 to 1905 the old legation | building was known to visitors in Tokyo as the Metropole Hotel. Then it was taken over by a wealthy Jap- anese, who added two-thirds of the adjoining city block to the original ground which he turned into a park. In 1917, during a financial crisis in Tokyo, this man went bankrupt and committed suicide; whereupon the Hypothetical Bank of Japan took over the property and, through the cooper- ation of Viscount Shivusawa, presi- dent of the bank, became possessed of . .the bank, became possessed of the entire block. Then once more, fol- lowing these vicissitudes, the ancient Ruddhist Temple was remodeled 1n(0{ a training school for nurses, pending| the erection of the new St. Luke's which was under way at the time of the disaster. By this time practically all that was left of the original strue- ture were several decorative corner- stones bearing the Coat-of-Arms of the United States, which were being preserved for use as the base for a giant flag pole which was to have been eracted on the alwn of the new St. Luke’s overlooking Tokyo Bay. TO MAKE NEWSPRINT, Western Canada Already Starts New Industry. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sept. 28— Erection of the first pulp and papér plant” in the prairie provinces at a cost of $3,000,000 has begun near Winnipeg. The plant will have an in-( itial capacity of 1209 tons of news- print a day and will, it is belleved, furnish paper to the middle western market of the United States. Location of the plant in the west, it is said, is an indication of the ex- pansion of the Canadian newsprint in- dustry. It was once thought that the pulpwood supplies of the provinces would not be called into re-| quisition for years, but the increasing consumption of the middle western | states and their proximity to the| prairie provinces has brought about | the demand. Newsprint production | in the Dominion rase from 690,250 tons in 1021 to 1,081,384 tons in 1922, | and this year, it is reported, it will| show even greater gains. LOST!
