JAPAN WILL OPEN
RADIO BROADCAST
STATIONS SHORTLY
/
TOKIO, Dec. 29.—Radio broad
casting, now becomes common in the
United States and many European
countries, is about to be under
taken on a large scale ior the first
time in Japan.
Six high-powered broadcasting
stations are to be erected in a half
dozen of the leading cities of the
empire before the end of January.
Installation of radio sets, heretofore
prohibited will be permitted as soon
as these broadcasting stations are
completed, according to announce
ment by the minister of communi
catios.
But for a misuderslanding be
tween companies desirous of estab
lishing stations, broadcasting would
have been undertaken a year ago.
Failure of the companies to “get to
gether,” however, caused the gov
ernment to withhold permission to
install radio sets and broadcasting,
obviously, could not be undertaken
unless the public was allowed to
possess a receiving apparatus.
These difficulties have now been
ironed out and construction work
on the six stations proposed already
is under way. They are all to be
built and operated by private enter
prise.
According to the agreement De
tween the companies only one sta
tion will be erected in each city.
Each company will operate within
a specified radius, but all will co
operate in the matter of programs
and other details.
No announcement has been made
as to t'te character of the programs
that will be offered, but it is ex
pected that lectures, piano recitals,
orchestral numbers, songs, ted-time
stories and broadcasting of phono
graph records will comprise the chief
features of the programs.
Although installation of radio sets
heretofore has been prohibited by
law, many “outlaw” sets are declar
ed to have been erected in Japan
since radio became an international
amusement. Hundreds of receiving
sets are being manufactured in Jap
an each month, it is declared, and
thousands are being imported from
the United States and other coun
tries.*
With the government ban remov
ed and modern broadcasting sta
tions erected, it is expected that
“listening-in” soon will be one of the
favorite pastimes of thousands of
Japanese, just as it is in America
and elsewhere throughout the world.

Dawes’ Pipe Replaces
Cigarettes In Ohio
_ I
LIMA, Ohio, Dec. 29—The “fag”
is slowly being discarded in favor
of (lie wholesome smoke afforded
by the pipe.
Local tobacco dealers slate lhat
Lima’s youths have been buying
pipes of various styles since the
first photograph of General Charles
G. Dawes, vice-president elect, ap
peared in print during the recent
presidential campaign.
The Dawes favorite-—with stem at
the top of the bowl—has been very
popular with young men here. Ap
proximately 500 of this type were
sold in Lima during the past two
month and many served as Christ
mas gifts during the holiday.
Popularity of the cigar, however,
has not suffered. The average
smoker always finds solace in a
good after-dinner smoke, dealers
said.
Will Exhume Body To
Find Cause of Death
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—The body of
Wm. McClintock, known as the mil
lionaire orphan, was exhumed Friday
and given a postmortem examination
to determine whether he had died of
typhoid fever or from poison. It was
found that the body was full of typhoid
germs, but no trace of poison could
be found by the coroner.
Three weeks ago, while his fiancee,
Isabelle Pope, waited at his bedside
with a marriage license, death called
the millionaire.
Soon after McClintock arrived here
he became of age and took possession
of $1,000,000 which his mother had
left him when he was four years old.
His will left everything to \V. D.
Shepperd, lawyer, who was his guar
dian, and in whose home he lived.
Chief Justice Harry Olson of the
municipal court called for the inves
tigation into the death of McClintock,
alleging he had been poisoned.
The first of the year the Gateway
will again offer a reduction in sub
scriptions to those wishing to pay
for six months at a time. See Miss
Rasmussen for particulars.

While the temperance party con
siders themeasure too moderate, the
licensed trade is much disturbed and
has called upon the senate to delay
passing of the bill till a govern
ment commission has inquired into
the whole matter. Ministers have
indicated the opinion that there are
more than twice too many shops for
the sale of drink throughout the
country, and the trade contends
that in abolishing those surplus to
requirements the government must
compensate the dispossessed.
The trade also demands a reduc
tion of the license duty proportion
ate to the restriction in the hours of
sale, and binds its members to with
hold all support financial and elec
toral, from any condidarte for the
Dail who will not pledge himself to
sustain its demands
