We're being made for the testing OF
the law at the coursing park. Wednes-
day, April 81. the day after the law
becomes effective, has been set as the

of the test.
In spite of statements previously
credited to him that the enactment of
the law would not entail the loss of a

nounces that the local racing season
will close Saturday, April II, three.
days before the new law becomes eff
fective, and that there will be no test
of its provisions on any of the tracks
of the California jockey club. This
means that the local racing season will
be reduced to 139 days from its original
schedule of 151 days.
Report has it that Williams decided
to relegate Henry Ach of the Ruef
case fame to the background during
the test of the law forl fear that Ach's
personality would exercise a harmful
influence on the proceedings. Ach is
credited with having arranged the de-
tails of the willy plan by which Will
liams hopes to c.rcumvent the pro-
visions of the law, aided and abetted
by Carroll Cook. A prominent attor
ney with more popularity than Ach or
Cook can lay claim to will be put for
ward publicly to handle the case, while
Ach and Cook pull the strings.
1t is supposed that coursing has
been selec,ed for the test for the rea-

there is no such public sentiment as
against the racetrack. Betting on the
dog races is by the auction pool
method. which is prohibited by the

SACRAMENTO. March 24.-Three
heads, an arm and a shoulder consts-
tuted the grewsome find of messengers
of the Wells-Fargo company at the To-
cal depot today when an expressed
package which was being transferred
from an overland to the Oregon express
fell from a truck and burst open.
The box which contained the dissect-
ed parts was a common wooden one and
was addressed to DR.. NJ. G. yarian of
Coram, Cal, and was sent by c. Stierlen
of 1S1S Lombard street, Philadelphia.
The local officers are somewhat mys-
titled as to what action to take. The
heads were of two white men and n
negro and appear to have been kept in
preservatives. 1t is the belief that they
were sent west from some medical
academy but until this is found out the
matter will be investigated.
Coroaer Gormley has taken charge of
the package and. with the, district at
torney, will institute an inquiry.

Love as Justification

Naught Compared to Affection for japanese
BY HELEN GLADYS EMERY

The great public clamor which has
followed the announcement OF my
impending marriage to Gunjiro Aoli
a native Of Japan, has forced me TO
come forward with statement, not
so much for the purpose of defend
ing my action as to correct erroneous
impressions which have been scat
tered broadcast since our engagement
became known. At the outset, l wish
II to be understood that 1 love Gun
jiro Aoki, have loved him for some
time and sincerely hope to maintain
my love for him despite all that may
be said or done. despite the slurs on
his character or the insults of the
small minded and petty individuals,
whether in Corte MADEIRA or else
where.
The only answer that I can make
to the countless questions which have
poured in on me is that l love him.
That. to me. is sufficient. I demand
no further argument, nor seek none.
Whether 1 am right or wrong in so
loving do not know and. in my pres
ent state of mind. do not care. love
him.
NOT IGNORANT OF STEP
The questions which have been
hurled at me in public print and by
my neighbors and friends for the last
few weeks, long ago asked and an
swered myself. 1t is not as IL 1 were
ignorant OF my step, blind to the re-
suits 1 saw at the very beginning

peat, 1 love him. realized fully the
change that would come into my life.
I realized that my home life would
be destroyed. realized that my
family ties would be severed-but
realized TO an even greater extent
that my love for him outweighed all
these.
Selfish? Narrow? Cold blooded? Just
