JAPANESE MAIDEN Is
SOLD INTO SLAVERY
sHlzU TAkAers STORY ARoUsEs
SYMPATHY
Wee Girl From Mikado's Realm App
pears in Court and is Arraigned
on a Charge of Larceny-Denies
All Allegations

Just a shadow of her former tiny self,
but still smiling bravely at the Off
GERS and court officials, little Shizu
Takagi, a Japanese maid, charged with
grand larceny, was arraigned before
Judge Smith in department. one of the
superior court yesterday, and through
her attorney entered Il plea of mot
guilty"
The girl has had an exceptionally
hard time of it since she came to
America less than year ago, and whep
the case comes to trial February 8 the
defense expects to prove that Miss
Takagi was sold as a slave girl and
that it was through that deal, and that
only, that Y. Merito, the complaini:S 8
witness in the case was separated from
the $500 which he alleges the girl took.
Yesterday when the girl appeared in
court she wore a small emblem of the
rising sun on her hat, but the symbol
of good luck in her own country Is
bringing but poor results in this for
eign land and, according to the reports
Of the jailers, Shizu is worrying her
self sick over her troubles.
Like all members of her race, she
has little to say. She simply looks
straight ahead when the charges
against her are read and then with
u
them all.
Sold Into Slavery
Back in japan the girl was born of
good parents in the province Of Sat
suma. She was carefully educated by
her parents but when she was little
more than a child her father failed in
business, and to save her family from
disgrace she sold herself to the master
Of q kindrome. 1t is said that all duti-
full daughters of the tlowery Kingdom
do the same TO save the honor of their
house, and Shizu, or the weeping well,
as she is known TO her own people,
became a geisha girl.
For several years she spent all her
time in dancing and singing and per-
forming at big banquets.
And then Shizu saved enough money
to buy her freedom and she Immediate
ly left Japan and started Cor America,
hoping TO change her fortune and be-
come a better woman.
All her plans and hopes the girl con-
fided to a man Of her own race on the
way over, and he 1t was who provided
the transportation. But when Shizu
reached America she learned that her
supposed benefactor regarded her in
the light of slave girl and he, she
alleges, sold her TO Merito.
The girl came to Los Angeles in COM
pany with Merito and others and while
here she is alleged to have robbed the
man of $500 and to have then fled to
Earstow, where Merito later found her
Shizu stated that at the trial she
would be able TO prove not only that
she was sold as slave girl, but that
such trades are common in nearly
every city on the coast. She further
expects 10 prove that both sheo and
Merito were in Rarstow when the al
legged theft in los Angeles WAS sup
posed to have been committed.

passenger express between Carbonate

swept around curve at high speed
KImble saw not far away baby sit

its back to the train. 1t paid no heed
to the whistle, and seeing that death
was inevitable unless the child was
rescued Kimble put on the air brakes.
1t was down grade, and he realized
that the train could not stop before
it struck the child He shouted to his
fireman to look after the engine and
sprang out on the running board. 1t
took him but moment to reach the
head Of the engine and jump down
on the pilot. Stretching down on the
cowcatcher, he just managed to reach
the child in time He swung the
ycungster up to safety and the train
stopped fifteen feet further on.
