"There will be no demonstra-
tion against the Japanese and the
Emery girl If they come to Ta-
coma to be married, for the police
will not permit It," said Mayor
Linck today, when informed OF
the United Press dispatch to the
,lmes announcing the coming of
the couple. 1--WE will not tolerate
any mob interference with people
in the peacable pursuit OF their
rights.
Personally / am opposed to
the mixture of these races, but
do not think IL is a question for
any one to interfere In. 1t is very
strange that this girl, reared ~
she was, should take this course,
but If they are both satisfied It
is their business and I cannot see
where Others have any right to-
interfere with them.
There has always been q great
deal of prejudice against race In
termarriage, and although I am
opposed myself to race mixture 4
believe that one man has no right
to interfere with another exerciB-
ing his choice. Some scientists
insist that mixture of races u
desirable. One French scientist
urges the marrying of negroes and
whites. Possibly the mixing 0f

NOTED GRAFT PROSECUTOR
GOING TO PORTLAND TO
TAKE PART IN CIVIC CLEAN
UP-WILL DEFEND NEWS
PAPER IN LIBEL SUIT.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Ore, March 25.--
Francis ]. Heney, the great graft
prosecutor, is coming to Portland
Immediately following the con-
clusion of the case against Patrick
Calhoun, which Is now in progress
at San Francisco.
Heney is being brought to Port
land by the Daily News of this
city. The News has been waging
a campaign against alleged Of
fetal corruption in Portland and
in the state of Oregon for the past
year. So vigorous has been Its
warfare for civic righteousness
that the editor of the publication
has been sued for criminal libel
by some of the men whom 1t at
tackled.
Two years ago Heney refused
an offer of $4,000 to come here
to investigate the acts of the po-
litical ring. He became so great
ly interested in the matters dis
cussed by the News, however, that
he has agreed to come to Portland
to defend that paper in It's libel
suit.
1t Is expected that either dur
ing or after the libel cases, Heney
will institute a thorough investi-
cation into Portland's municipal
affairs, in which certain men oi
political and financial prominence
In Oregon are interested.

VICTIM Of
F|END
Bride of Three Months
Tortured to Death
Had Been Threat
ened By Rival

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
VINCENNES, Ind, March
25.-ln the supposed murder
and torture of Mrs. Russell
CuIbertsOn of this city the
police today face one of the
most remarkable cases ever
known in this state and are
working upon the principal
clew, which is furnished by
letters from another woman,
who loved Russell Culbertson
madly but lost his love.
Mrs. Culbertson, who was 25
years old, was found yesterday
bound and gagged, suffering from
burns about the face caused by
carbolic acid, in an clubhouse at
the home of Joshua Brazletton
where she lived. She died today.
Married Three Months.
The young victim was trained
nurse and was married only three
months ago, after she had nursed
Culbertson through long illness.
Her friends say that she was
exceedingly happy, her Joy being
marred only by the periodical re-
ceipt of threatening letters from a
woman who had been her rival for
the love of Culbertson.
These letters, which were de.
livered mysteriously at her resi-
dence, all breathed hatred and
vengeance and threatened VIC
lence. 49,
Threat to Kill.
One of the letters In the hands
of the police read as follows:
Everyone has good word for
you. That is why Russell cares
for you and not for me. You have
been true; I have not. l tell you
again to be on your guard"
"He will suffer as l have suf-
fered through you.
ooh, how I hate you. I'll kill
you II I can and then who'll get
Russell. Ha! ha! L! He will then
be mine!"
Four threatening letters in all
were sent to Mrs. Culbertson.
The fourth was found today in
the closet OF her room, from
which she evidently was dragged
to her death. The last letter con-
tanned the single word, "Good-
bye," and was illustrated with
rudely scrawled skull and cross
bones.
Manner Of Death.
Carbolic acid was evidently
forced down Mrs. Culbertson' q
throat after she had been bound
and gagged and probably rendered
half unconscious In her struggle
for life.
Mrs. Culbertson before her mar
riage was Miss Jessie Lee Overton
of Dublin, Texas.
Russell Culbertson is employ
ed as bookkeeper at Lawrence
Vile, where he was at the time
of his wife's terrible death.
Cu1bertson this afternoon said
that the writing in the mysterious
letter was similar II not Identical
to that of a young woman to
whom he formerly was attentive.

Big Crowd When They Depart From Corte
rladra rlother Breaks Up Home to Accompany
Them On Trip North

CORTE MADRA, CAL, Mar.
25.-After ten years of happy
social life, where they receiv-
ed and entertained scores of
friends, Helen Gladys Emery
and her mother have broken
up their home here and today
are on their way to Tacoma
where, If their plans succeed,
Miss Emery will wed GungirO
Aoki, formerly a dishwasher
at the Emery home.
Hundreds Jeer Them.
The departure of the Emerys
from Corte Madra was attended
by nearly every person In town.
Although the couple was stunned
by neighbors, while Miss Emery
and her mother packed their
trunks, hundreds were on hand to
hoot and jeer them when they
started for the railroad station.
Nearly MObbed.
At the station Miss Emery and
her mother became the targets of
decayed flowers and rice. They
were nearly mobbed in the wait
ing room and were saved from
actual violence by a strong body
guard OF newspaper men. The
reporters formed a Gordon about
them and escorted them to the
train.
Passengers on the train took an
interest in the Emerys after a
bowling mob had been left behind
at Corte Madra. The interest was
kept up on the boat crossing from
Sausalito to San Francisco.
Coarse Jests.
Fingers and umbrellas were
pointed at the women, while
coarse jests were flung at them by
many.
Contemplate cads." was the
only comment of the japanese
boys fiance.
It is apparent that the women
have little money and everything
available in the Emery home was
converted into cash for their trip.
In defending themselves, Miss
Emery pleaded love as her reason
for marriage.
Archdeacon Emery did not call
at his disrupted home and he did
not meet his wife and daughter
in San Francisco on their way
north.

CLEVELAND, March 25.-Life
Imprisonment is the extreme pen
atty in Pennsylvania for kidnap-
ing, the charge on which James
H. Boyle and wife, Identified as
the abductors of Willie Whitla,
will be tried.

ed here for trial on the charge of
blackmail.
The grand Jury this afternoon
jointly indicted James H. Boyle

Falkner, for blackmail.
Woman an Actress.

lesque actress in New York and
evidently has had q varied career.
1t is expected thatt he Boyles
will start for Sharon tomorrow for
preliminary hearing. The Mercer
county (Penn.) grand Jury con-
venes the second Monday in April
and the court opens April 10.
To Get Money Back.
The police will return to Mr..
Whitla the s9,S4S in currency
found in the woman's possession
when she was arrested, so that the
real amount of money actually
paid for the ransom OF Willie was
just $152. Boyle was put through
q course of the "third degree to-
day In Chief Kohn1er's office in
the presence of Whitla, Attorney
Cochran, Chief Crane, the detec-
tives who made the arrest and

pain of the sting. there is a real danger
in the bites of flies and mosquitoes,
in the case of flies because they live
on carrion and are likely TO transmit

young. not by banting exercises and

but by keeping her mind in touch with

Her lair is carefully brushed daily,

she takes to wearing her hair in a
