RECTOR'S WIFE
ELOPED WITH JAP

SEATTLE. July 25.--Despite he fact
that his wife eloped with Y. Sacameta.
their Japanese servant, and was ar
rested in his company in the Japanese
quarter, the Rev. H. c. Robinson, rec
tor Of St Johns Episcopal Church, has
forgiven her He has signed her bail
bond secured her release from prison
and taken her back home.
The scandal has almost wrecked the
church, in which she was a leading
worker. Sacameta was of even more
than usual japanese politeness. II is
said IL was the manner of the slant
eyed Chesterfield which won Mrs Rob
insons heart and caused her to desert
her home.
The Rev. Mr.. Robinson was formerly
assistant rector of Grace Church. Chi
cago. Friends of the family declare
the woman Is not mentally responsible.
While a resident Of Chicago in 1904 she
was arrested for shopifting. A house
detective alleged he saw her removing
price tags from a set OF furs and at
tempting to make away with them. The
charge was afterward dropped.
Mrs. Robinson Is a handsome bru-
nette. She and her husband came
originally from Canada. For several
years he was In charge of St Pauls
Church in Detroit and on leaving there
went TO Chicago. After Mrs Robin
sons arrest there they came to the
coast
Mrs. Robinson and the Japanese SER
want disappeared from the rectory a
couple of weeks ago. Mr.. Robinson
searched for her In vain. The police
arrested Sacameta for living with a
white woman. and she was recognized
as Mrs Robinson. When arrested she
took with her 10 the city prison copies
of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis
and Byron's "Childe Harold"

WAGON SINKS into
Holman ST. BRIDGE
Circus Parade is Held up
While Stage Carpenters
Strengthen Bridge.

Althoug the Holman street bridge
over the Calumet river was condemn
ed for street cars a few days ago. the
circus people were allowed to use it
today, and a bad accident was narrowly
averted Some of the wagons in the
parade weighed as much as a car and
when they came to the bridge. one of
the number sank through the plank
ing and narrowly escaped going into
the river The parade was held up for
a few minutes. when the versatility of
the modern circus was shown.
In a few minutes several carpenters
were on hand and although the air was
blue the bridge was soon repaired
that is, made accessible for the teams
Hammers were soon pounding and new
planking was laid in place. while extra
supports were put in place TO strength
en- the structure. The bridge made
lasting impression in the minds Of the
circus people, who were otherwise fav-
orably impressed with the city.

Munster, Ind, Aug. 24.-Because a
grocery boy, employed by Prevo. Of
Hammond. confused the gasoline can
with the coal oil can when he made a
delivery at the hotel conducted by
Mrs. NJ. J. Boland. of Maynard. il is
said, Mrs Boland was the victim of an
explosion that wrecked the kitchen
and burned her so badly that she died
in ST. Margaret's hospital at noon to-
day.
The accident happened at $50 o'clock
this morning when Mrs. Boland arose
to get breakfast. Mrs. Boland had re-
ceived her regular order of oil the
evening before. and asked the boy
which was the gasoline and which was
the kerosine.
1t is claimed that he made mistake
and misinformed her. At any rate she
picked up the can containing the gaso-
line this morning and started to pour
ing it over the fire for the purpose OF
making the fire burn faster.
The fluid had hardly touched the
glowing Goals when there was a ter.
rife explosion which wrecked tn,
kitchen and sent the burning oil flying
in all directions.
Mrs. Boland was knocked down bl
| the explosion and the flames soon ig
