MIKES OYAMA'S AND
DOMESTIC TACTICS
Joyful Jap Hears War News
and Picks Chickens Before
Killing Them

The household Of Joe Minakata, a
Japanese manufacturer of bamboo fur
niture, at ZIG West Seventh street, ex-
perienced two distinct and conflicting
sensations yesterday, and last night the
family was wondering whether to be
happy or sad.
The first event occurred in the morn
ing, when a copy of a monthly San
Francisco paper, containing news of re-
cent victories won by the gallant sons
of Nippon, was received. The accounts
had been spread over the front pages
of all the daily papers, but to the little
people in the furniture store they were
fresh and they filled their readers with
patriotic joy.
The little men were chattering gayiy
early in the afternoon when Humane
Agent Moak entered the store and ask
ed to see the proprietor. Joe was out,
but one of his assistants soon found
him.
Joe, how do you kill chickens %
asked Mr.. Moak, without parley.
What? How kill chickens? Why
this-a way" answered Joe, wringing
the neck of an imaginary hen.
"Yes, but don't you pull the feathers
off first. Joe?" queried Mr.. Moak, who
was getting at the object of his visit.
81 no understand" protested Joe, and
the humane agent took the fancied BIZ
ped between his knees, pIucking the air
vigorously with both hands.
"Oh, ha, ha, yis,' answered the bam-
boo furniture maker. I'VE killa them
in Japanese style. We do that-a way
in Nippon"
"You must stop that" said Mr.. Moak
| taking from his pocket a card from
which an extract from the state law
which declares that any one guilty OF
| torturing animals shall be liable to q
| fine of $100 or Imprisonment for ninety
days.
Joe's face grew grave, and Mr.. Moak
| had to re-read and explain the para
| graph several times before it was COM
| pretended.
ooh, yis, see now, you want-a me
kill-a the tsikens all same 'Murican."
That's right; you must do it like
this" said Mr.. Moak. while in panto-
mime he beheaded a chicken on bam-
boo stool. .If you pick the feathers Out
| before you chop it's head off you viii
| have to pay a fine. 1t is cruel to dc
that and the law will not allow it. DE-
you understand"
"Yis-yis, me sabee. We kill ur
| tsikens all same dat away, not Yapa-
nese style, no not Japanese style any
more
Joe smiled blandly as he repeated the
| last part of his sentence, while Mr.
Moak was going out the door.
ssNeighbors have reported to me that
! the japanese have been picking the
| feathers from their chickens before
| killing them. and / am determined tc
| put a stop to it, said Mr.. Moak after
he had left the store.

Big KILLING MADE
ON UNKNOWN F|[LY
Wise Bettors Take Quarter of a
Million From Bookmakers
and PooIrooms
snecial to The Globe

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The book
makers at Morris Park and the pool
rooms of the city were hit for $250,000
this afternoon, when Lady Henrietta
galloped home ahead of a field of tWen-
ty-two horses in the third race on the
card. 1t was the hardest blow of the
season and one of the biggest killings
ever made on the track, and the sa-
gacious layers of odds who wear the
button of the Metropolitan Turf asso-
citation received a jolt that will go
down in race track history.
Lady Henrietta belongs to Arthur
Featherstone, and to this wise owner
and his trainer is due the credit for
the killing. The field was large one
and made up of horses of which MOTH
ing was known, and there were all
kinds of figures marked against some
of the starters 1t was Lady Henri
etta's first race, and the mare started
out at 100 to l. She went to the post
at II to 1. When she finished the Nor
ris Park betting ring handed out $l5O,
600 to those who were "in,' and the
pool rooms throughout New York city
paid out fully 100000 more.
The filly has been in the Feather
stone stable since last spring, and
never having been entered, no atten-
ton was paid to her by the cleckers
and handicappers who perch about the
track in the early hours of the morn
ing. 1t is even doubtful if any of these
keen birds ever heard of her or knew
she had name. Not so with Feather
stone. The mare had been put through
some fast workouts, and at a confer
ence between the owner and trainer i
was decided to save her for some spe-
cial race.
The third race on today's card wa:
decided on as offering large field o.
unknowns, and the distance, five fur
longs. was considered to be abou
right. The followers of form pickec

The start was poor, as was to b

EMPLOY DECEPTION
Young EngIishmanand Women
Get in Trouble

WASHINGTON D. c., Oct. ia
bit of deception, apparently perfectly
innocent, practiced bysa young English
couple on the steamship western Land,
which arrived in Philadelphia, last
Sunday, involved the participants in
serious difficulty Miss Mary Stanton
accompanied her uncle and Mrs. John
Fay, of New York to this country. A
friend of the party, Hugh Stanton, was
also a passenger on the Western Land.
In order that the party might not be
separated on shipboard, Miss Stanton
and Hugh Stanton represented them
selves as husband and wife. On the
voyage Fay and Stanton occupied the
same state room, while the two women
occupied another. @
At Philadelphia the immigration Of
ficials heard of the deception and re-
fused to permit Stanton and Miss
Stanton to land unless they should
agree to be married. AS both were
engaged to be married. Miss Stanton to
young man who was to meet her in
this country and Stanton to another
girl, they refused to accede to the
proposition Miss Stanton appealed
from the decision of the Philadelphia
officials to the immigration authori-
ties in the department. of commerce
and labor. The casewas decided this
afternoon, Miss Stanton beng per-
mitted to land Thezimmigration Off
cials have been notified of the de-
cision. Stanton made no appeal to
Washington, but the probabiiity is
that. acting on preeedent afforded by
Miss Stanton's CASE he alsow be
permitted to land by the Philadelphia
| officials.
