UuLIUIl American May Lose Trophy
DECLARE HOSTILE
REPORTS UNTRUE
Delegates at Tokyo ConcIave
Reassert Japan's Friendship
for United States

TOKYO, Oct.- S.-The Protestant
semicentennial of Tokyo, composed of
100 missionaries representing Ameri-
can churches of all denopinations,
adopted resolutions today addressed to
American lovers of international
peace and good will"
The resolutions asserted that the
government and people of Japan have
maintained consistently an attitude of
cordial friendship to the United States.
Therefore the American people are
asked to discriminate carefully in the
news received from Japan, for in the
last two years mass of misinforma-
ton has been circulated concerning
that country.
The assertion is made that notwith-
standing the persistent evidences OF
ignorance concerning Japan appearing
in the sensational press of America.
the people of Japan have continued
to maintain a friendly attitude and a
high degree of self-control.
In conclusion the resolutions declare
that the removal of race prejudice and
misunderstanding between the peoples
of the two countries is in the highest
degree desirable.

TWO HUSBANDS ASK
|. FOR FAIR PRISONER
Mrs. Hayner Refuses to Receive
Visitors, but Admits Oath
Was False
Woman Now Says Her Father
Was a Wealthy Stock
Raiser in Iowa
Especial Dispateh TO The CALI

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. S.-A third du-
plicity in the matrimonial machina-
tions of Mrs. William r. Hayner was
unearthed today when Mrs. Hayner ad-
mitted, to the CONSERVATION OF her
second spouse, Edmund Thiele, that
her maiden name was Mabel Edwards,
not Mae Ferguson, as she swore before
her marriage. Thiele derived some
comfort, however, from the knowledge
that he had filed suit for annulment
in, the San Francisco courts.
Mrs. Hayner, who is in jail here
pending her trial on a charge of big
amy, was visited yesterday by botn
her husbands, Edmund Thiele, the sec
ond mate, and William r. Hayner,
whom she married in 1889 in Maquo-
keta. Iowa. The two got as Tar as
the jail door, but Mrs. Hayner cheer
fully sent out word that she was not
receiving callers. and the twain
wended their way back to San Fran
cisco.
TWICE MARRIED., SHE SAYS
In answer to the question regarding
the name Mabel Edwards Mrs. Hayner
admitted that it was her maiden name,
and stated that her father was we'll
know stock raiser of Jackson county,
Iowa.
WAS Edwards not the name of some
other husband you had?' Mrs Hayner
was asked.
Twice is plenty, thank YOU" she
replied laughingly.
District Attorney Boyd OF Marin
county had the woman before him to-
day, and she repeated her assertion
that Thiele was well aware of her mar
riage to Hayner when he married her.
MARRIAGE MADE HER ANGRY
Further, she declared that Thiele de-
liberately got her drunk, With her
daughter, brought her to San Rafael'
and then persuaded her to go through
the marriage ceremony. According to
this latest statement. she was very
angry when she sobered up and discov-
cred how deceitful her second husband
had been.
"Thiele sent me word today" Mrs.
Hayner said, that he was very sorry
for what he had done. and that he
would do anything in the world to free
me and regain my love when L finally
was out of jail.
The fact that Thiele filed an annul-
ment suit in San Francisco today seems
to point to the fact that he is anxious
to free himself of the woman who cost
him S1,4Oo for the privilege of calling
her his wife for few months.

FRENCH BISHOPS ENTER
ACTIVELY IN POLITICS
Advise CathechistS to Vote for
Defense of Religion

PARIS, Oct. s.-Some of the French
bishops, following up a more militant
policy, have introduced into the cate
ehisms the obligation to vote only for
candidates who have pedged them
selves to the defense Of religious in
terests.
The Figaro commenting on this de-
velopment, says that since the rupture
or the concordant, which forbids cleo
toral cathechisms, the church has a
perfect right to give Instructions In
electoral duties, but il considers the
formulas in some dioceses to be open
to criticism.
1t prefers that of the archbishop OF
Cambrai, which says that the most
honest and the most Christian candi-
dates best capable of serving the gem
eral welfare should be elected.

POINT RICHMOND, Oct s.-Gold
bearing gravel was uncovered today
eight feet below the street surface by
John Wilson. an employe of the Rich

Gvenue.
The pile of gravel which had been

attention OF s. G. Spagnoli, who lives
near by. Spagnon was formerly a
miner IN Amador county and he no.
siced something in the gravel which
led him TO believe that it contained
gold. SpagnoH spoke to Wilson, say
ing. 'T believe that is auriferous
gravel" The men got pans and panned
out several panfuls of the gravel, being
rewarded by a sure enough color OF
free gold. The find attracted others.
The theory advanced was that un-

MOVING PICTURE SHOW
PROVES WIFE'S INFIDELITY

London.-A startling incident hap,
pened during an exhibition of living
pictures at a public hall in Paris a
few days ago. The hall was crowded,
and pictures of the Rheims aviation
meeting were being shown on the
screen when a woman in the audience
gave a piercing scream and fell on
the floor in a state of wild hysteria.
Her husband was also seen to be suf-
fering great emotion, and the two
were taken out.
1t was then found that in one of
the pictures the woman herself had
appeared sitting at a table in a cafe
accompanied by man. The husband
is a commercial traveller, and during
aviation week he had been away
from home on business. His wife
was supposed to have been in the
country with her mother at this time,
but the picture showed that she had
renewed the acquaintance Of a for
mer lover whom she had given up on
her marriage.
When the couple reached home the
husband gave vent to the fiercest an
ger and jealousy, and fired at his
wife with the intention of killing her.
She was, however, unhurt.

o. r. & n. WILL
FIGHT TAX LEVY

Olympia.-Charging unfairness, the
o. R. & n will refuse to pay its tax
es until the matter has been fought
out in the courts. The total state
tax on the assessments fixed by the
tax commission is S72,1S7, or l 1-2
per cent of the total state tax.
Railroad companies usually pay
their taxes in February each year.
Next February the state of Washing
ton will be on warrant basis. Fail
ure to receive this $4,000 taxes will
mean u prolongation of the time the
state will have to carry interest-bear-
ing warrants. and every taxpayer will
have to contribute to that interest.
The O. R. & N. property lies in
the counties Of Adams, Columbia,
Spokane, Franklin, Garfield, Ska
mania, Walla Walla and Whitman.
In these counties, in the aggregate,
the railroad assessment equals more
than one-tenth of the aggregate of all
taxable property.
This suit for the counties means
that one-tenth of the county, school
and road taxes, which usually would
have been paid in the spring, will be
tied up in litigation, probably for
many months or longer.
Finally in the event the supreme
court should decide the tax commits
sion assessment was inequitable, the
differences between the $4,000 tax
ed to the road and the amount the
court says should have been taxed,
will have to be paid to the state, not
solely by the o. R. & N. but by every
Individual taxpayer.
The mistake, if any, falls not on
the state, but on the taxpayers of
these counties.
