TOO MANY DIAMONDS
FOR THE STEERAGF.
Beautiful Betty Rausch Or
dered Deported Because
She Told Truth.

Because Betty Rausch wore $1,000
worth of diamonds on her person and
came from Shanghai in the Europe an
steerage of tho steamship China, the
immigration officials subjected her TO
an examination more rigorous tnan
would be the case had she come III the
first cabin. where, on all steamers. be-
diamonded ladies of all kinds pass un-
questioned Her replies not being sat
fsfaetory, she was ordered deported. =
Betty is handsome woman or ~
years. According to her story sne was
born in Vienna, Austria. of Polish-Jew-
ish parents. She speaks English, Polish
and Spanish inteiligently, but cannot
read nor write in any language. she
admitted that she had been living with
a house painter in Shanghai for the last
five years, but thought that there was
no impropriety in that fact. because her
mother lived in the same house. United
States Immigrant Inspector D. J. Grif-
fiths was shocked and deeply pained at
the hippancy with which the beautiful
lady spoke of her past life and he rec
commended her deportation upon his be-
lief that she was not virtuous and
might become charge upon the state.
She will return. to Shanghai on the
next trip OF the China.

Chadwick Seeks Appeal From
Divorce to Prevent Former
Wife's Testimony in Case
TRIAL STILL PROCEEDS
Mrs. Schneider Asserts She
Never Gave Daughter in
Marriage to Defendant

An attempt was made yesterday by
Ernest Moore Chadwick. alias Sir Harry
estwood Cooper. to prevent his wffe's
testimony from being taken, in his trial
for bigamy by fling a transcript In the
Supreme Court asking that a decision
of Judge Sloss giving Norine Pearl
Schneider Chadwick a divorce be an
nulled.
Although the decision of the divorce
court was made four years ago and
both the husband and wife have again
remarked, he will use every effort to
have an appeal taken because the law
So VS. wife cannot testify against her
husband. This would relieve him from
much anxiety over the effect of her
evidence in his trial.
But according TO a rule OF the Su-
preme Court transcript for an appeal
must be filed not later than forty days
arter .-otice of appeal is fled If this
rule holds in Chadwick's case his act
will be frustrated. The complications
resulting from his later marriage with
Miss Teresa vandvelden and his wife's
marriage with e. J.. Kelley are all 10
be brought out in the case later.
The second trial of Chadwick on a
charge of sending by telegraph false
and forged message purportins to be
from another person was continued be-
fore a jury in Judge Cooks court yester-
day morning. Mrs. Marie Schneider tes-
tilted that she never gave her consent
to the marriage of her daughter
Norine TO the defendant and never au-
thorized the defendant to use her name
in sending a message to Norine to
marry the defendant. Other witnesses
were examined and the last witness for
the prosecution will testify this morn
ing. The question of whether Chad
wick's marriage to Norine Schneider
still holds good will not be argued till
all the evidence is in.

APPELLATE COURT REvERSES
DECISION IN MCCARTHY CASE
order to Set Aside Homestead An-
nuIlea and Insolvent Estate to BE
nfYided by Creditors.


An order of the Superior Court OF
Santa Cruz setting apart a homestead
to the widow of Charles Patrick Nc
Carthy, stated in the petition to be
worth $4,000, was set aside by the Dis
trict Court of Appeals yesterday, it
finding the estate to be valued at more
than the amount by law constituting
a homestead. The creditors of the es.
tate will now be partially satisfied, Al
though the deceased McCarthy's prop
erty will not pay, all OF the debts
against it.
The petition for the order from the
Superior Court setting aside the home
stead stated 1t to have been valued 1T
$4,000 at the time 1t was purchased.
The Court of Appeal found it to have
been worth $500, which is $500 in ex-
cess of the amount the law allows to
constitute a homestead exempt from
the creditors of an estate.
