to find any husband for her I'm Fresno
and as she was confined i'm a baudy
house he arrested her with the other
two.
When inspector Geffney entered the
basement where l. Murayama lived
there were fully dozen other Japs
sleeping in hunks about the place. Re
sognizing Murayama from photo
graph which he had in his possession,
Inspector Geffney promptly hauled the
Jap out of bed and informed him that
he was under arrest.
The Jap then made a break for a
table on which were a number of butch
er knives and, securing a cleaver, at
tempted to hit Geffney over the head
Geffney lodged the blow and hit the
Jap a stunning blow on the back of the
neck with his revolver. The Jap drop
ped to the floor and was placed in GUS
tody.
The two women were then secured
and taken to the Jail pending their
departure for this city. Here they will
be tried before a court of special in
quiry and will very likely be ordered
deported to Japan.
The immigration officials intend tc
watch all such cases and hope to put a
stop to the proceedings. The japanese
procurists have been working the
proxy marriage" game for some time
past, seeking to hoodwink the immigra
stiOn officials by arranging a farce
proxy marriage on the arrival of the
women here and then taking them &c
some far away city in the hopes that
they will not be traced.
