REMOVES BURNS FROM
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
SECRETARY is BUSTED FOR THE
THIRD TIME
Civil Service Commission Certfles to
Mans Examination, but Chief De-
clares Burns Is Lazy and That He
viii Not Accept Man

For the third time Robert M. Burns,
fire department secretary, was re-
moved from office yesterday on the rec
ommendation of Fire Chief Lips, who
declared such action was necessary
for the good of the service. Burns is a
civil service appointee and it is prob
able that his removal will cause the
civil service commission to say things
to the fire commission.
b. w. Land has been secretary of
the department for several months. He
was an emergency appointee and had
no standing in the civil service and his
term of emergency appointment had
long ago expired. Last week the civil
service certified Burns as having sue
cessfully passed the examination for
secretary and as the only candidate
who had passed this examination. The
fire commission reluctantly accepted
him, but Burns declares that Chief
Lips did not even permit him to assume
his duties and kept Land in the place.
The fire chief declares that Burns is
lazy and that he cannot get along
with him in amicabie fashion. The
action of the civil service commission
Is problematical, but as Burns is the
only eligible for the place there seems
to be no way out for the fire commits
sion except to take him into the SER

SURPRISES JUDGE IN
JAPANESE GIRLS TRIAL
MAN DECLARES HE is sHlRU's
HUSBAND
Sensation Sprung In Court When Iva
kawa Asserts That He Married
the Pretty Little Gelsha Girl In
Hawaii

A sensation was sprung in Judge
Smiths department of the superior
court yesterday afternoon when one
of the many Japanese witnesses in the
case of Shiru Takagi. charged with
robbery when a japanese who was
called to the witness stand testified
that he was the pretty Japanese girls
husband.
Previous to this it has been believed
that the young girl was unmarried.
That she was spirited away from
Fresno last October 21 by Y. Merito to
become a slave girl, is an allegation
upon which the girl and hundreds OF
friends base their answers to the
charges.
When the Japanese, who gave his
name, announced in clear tones yester-
day that he was the husband of the
girl, cry of surprise went up in the
large court room. Judge Smith rose
from his chair and walked hurriedly
to the end of the bench and looked at
the Japanese who had given his name
as Iva Kawa and said he was Shiru's
husband.
What did you say your name was?"
asked Judge Smith.
81 told you my name was Iva Kawa,"
replied the witness.
Did you ever have another nameY'
asked Attorney Donnell, who is con-
Quoting the prosecution and who al
most apologized to the court for plac-
ing Iva Kawa on the stand.
Yes, when I came to this country
I changed my name to Takagi, but my
real name is Iva Kawa."
Where were you married to the de-
fendant?"
Tells Straightforward Story
WI.
and the minister united us. Since then
we came to San Francisco and from
there moved to Sacramento. l was
unable to make sufficient money in
Sacramento so we moved to Fresno.
II missed my wife on the afternoon
of October 20 last year. When she
did not return that night l went to
Los Angeles the next day. There
saw Merito but 1 did not suspect him
of having spirited away my wife, al
though l had seen him in Fresno or
the day before my wife disappeared"
Are you friendly toward Merito, vino
is charged with having attempted 20
spirit your wife away to make a slave
girl of herr" asked Attorney Donnell.
IT am not. If she is freed from the
charge against her 1 intend to take
her back to my place in Fresno with
me and all shall be forgiven"
Several of the curious persons who
have crowded the court room since
the beginning of the trial doubted the
statements of Iva Kawa. The witness,
though withstood the rapid fire cross
examination and answered the queS-
tions without a hitch.
The case has by no means reached the
end. Several new witnesses for the
prosecution will be placed on the stand
this morning and by noon it is believed
the attorneys will be ready to argue
the matter to the jury.
