    Probably Soroku Ebara, envoy from Japan sent to try to ease tension over California's "Alien Land Law" of 1913: "The appeal from the Japanese residents of California was so insistent and the excitement of the public opinion of Japan so great, that the political parties, the Christian organizations and the business interests of Japan, all decided to send representative men to California to counsel moderation and to give comfort to the compatriots who appeared to be made the object of economic persecution. At the same time such men sent from Japan could study the situa- tion on the spot and report upon the causes of the perennial outbursts of anti- Japanese sentiment and point out the way to the possible solution of the difficulty. With such an object in view, Mr. Soroku Ebara, then a member of the House of Representatives and later of the House of Peers of the Imperial Diet, was selected by the Seiyukai, or the Constitutional party which has been dominant in the domestic politics of Japan for fully a decade." www.archive.org/stream/growthofinternat00miyaiala/growtho...

    rjones0856: Thanks for the information. It's helpful to know what likely made the photo newsworthy for the Bain News Service. The date written in reverse on the upper right corner of the negative, 7/11/13, corresponds with the time Ebara was on his mission to the US. We'll adjust the description when we update the record

    The title "Sokoru [i.e., Soroku] Ebara (LOC)" is improper. His name is "SOROKU". It seems someone made a miss writing "R" to "K" and "K" to "R" in signature on the glass negative. Anyway, thanks for sharing my grand grand father Soroku's old picture.

    NoCha2 Ils n´étaient pas malheureux, mais graves. Ils sont nés dans une famille bien située dans les années 1882 et 1884. Ils sont mon oncle et tante, Guðmundur et Unnur Thoroddsen.
