MEMORY OF 1923 DISASTER.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 2, 1.10 a.m. Tokio, Sept. 2.

The intoning of thousands of Buddhist priests briefly substituted raucous traffic noises. A mayoral message, following the example of the Government, urged the citizens to refrain from extravagance and urging them to work hard.
