WAITING FOR STORKKONA BOND ISSUE PALOLO AND MANOA
MAY YOHE WILL SOON BECOME A
MOTHER
Interesting Event Expected About
March-Strong Has Announced His
Intention Of Going on the Stage

In the finest house on the Bluff I'm
Yokohama, a man and a woman are
anXiously awaiting the arrival of a bird.
The man is Captain Putnam Bradley
Strong, the woman is May Yohe and the
bird is-a stOTk. In other words, May
Yohe Lady Francis Hope expects TO
become a mother about next March.
Such is the latest Information brought
yesterday by returning passengers on
the America Maru, from Yokohama.
Those who have seen May Yohe ana
Captain Strong say that they both seem
delighted over the anticipated event.
Coupled with this news is the further
news that Captain Strong shows indi-
cations Of mental alteration, thought TO
betoken paresis. Also the further news
that il is the intention of Yohe and
Strong to go the stage next spring,
probably making their debut, or at least
StrOng's debut, in Manila.
Along with this come stories that the
pair are beginning to show indications
Of a want Of ready money. and that
even the set which has kept them COM
pany and accepted their entertainment
Is beginning TO draw off. They still
occupy a splendid house on the Bluff in
Yokohama, and have "A retinue of ser
wants. one incident given to show that
ready money is running low Is that
Langfeldt q CO., a Yokohama firm sent
bill for about Yen 5000, for groceries
and liquors to Captain Strong, with an
urgent request for payment. Strong
sent back word that he was sorry, but
that expected remittances had not ar
rived, and he would therefore be unable
TO pay the bill Immediately. Another
incident related is that at the Grand
Hotel, Gohe was overheard to ask the
captain IL he had wired for that money.
On his replying that he had not, she
very severely upbraided him.
The Indications pf ma TsgfG N tHltf4f o,
Strong are said to be an incoherence Of
speech at times, want Of continuity,
both of conversation and action mem
dacity without provocatiOn, and an airy
boastfulness without any apparent pur-
pose or object, or any consistency in it's
details. one instance of his bOastful-
ness and mendacity is given i'm this that
several times of late he is said to have
been drunk at the Grand Hotel and in
dulged mania for smashing things.
When IT was suggested to him chat If
he continued this he might be forbidden
the hotel, he -glOriously replied that
there was no danger of this as he would
soon have a controlling interest in the
hotel having already bought up nearly
half the stock of the corporation, while
investigation showed that he did not
own dollar of the stock. 1t is said
too, that frequently of late he has in
vited guests to his house. and i'm the
middle of the entertainment he would
suddenly pick a quarrel with his guest,
and sometimes end the quarrel with an
assault.
The plan for going on the stage is
said to include the procuring of a play
or series of plays written for or adapted
TO Hohe as the star with Strong as her
leading man. The plot in at least one
Of these contemplated plays is said to
/ be sort Of paraphrase of May YOhe' 5
life and life experiences.
