NAME IS
MENTIONED
IN CUNNINGHAM CASE-SENA-
TOR REFUSED LAND
CLAIM.
(By United Press.)

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-The name
of Senator Hepburn of Idaho has
been brought into prominence at
the hearing of the Alaska coal land
cases, which is in progress here,
in connection with the Cunningham
claims. From the testimony con-
tanned in exhibits introduced yes
terday it appears that NOSE than
two years after Hepburn became
senator. Cunningham carried q
coal land claim In Alaska for him,
in consideration of his legal serv-
ices.
Throughout his term Hepburn
has opposed the forest reserve and
other conservation policies advo-
Gated by Roosevelt. Following the
Introduction of the private note
book of Cunningham, containing
the above information, an affidavit
given by Cunningham to CLAWS
was presented. The affidavit de-
clares that when Cunningham dis
covered that the coal land could
not be taken under mineral laws,
Hepburn decided to withdraw from
the pool.
In substantiating this he quotes
a letter from Hepburn, saying:
II don't desire TO participate in or
be interested in any manner in ac-
curing public lands. prefer dur
ing my official career to be abso-
lutely free from any possible inter
est in the subject of legislation.
Whatever services | may properly
render, within my duty as a public
official, | will do for you. and shall

sideration, directly or indirectly

Whether the apple show turns
out financial success or not, it is
conceded by all that it is the great
est exhibit of the kind ever gotten
together. In making this state
ment, no disrespect is intended
toward the first apple show. which
was the greatest display of apples
ever seen until the present show
was opened.
1t is now predicted that the third

will begin soon after the close OF
the present one, will be greater in
size than either OF its predecessors,

SMALL FIRE
AT APPLE SHOW

This morning at o'clock some
of the draperies in the postcard
photo gallery in the apple show
tent caught fire, presumably from
the gas radiator, and was followed
by an explosion, as if by gas. The
special police officers near the
scene hurried to the rescue with a
chemical apparatus and save what
might have been a most disastrous
blaze. The damage was small, not
exceeding $50. The photo man
had $4,000 automobile stored in
the rear of his tent, but it escaped
injury.

SAYS Mann

Judge Mann has admitted
that his action in holding men
guilty Of disorderly conduct for
speaking on the street may be
wrong, yet he continues to send
men to Jail under a construction

doubt, until over 200 have thus
been served.

Mann said yesterday:

There was racial mix-up and a
tumble of languages in the court of
United States Commissioner Spencer
yesterday, that was a frstclass imita-
ton of combination of the Tower of
Babel affair and a congress of nations
combined. The languages used had TO
be filtered through three interpreters,
for it seemed that nobody could under
stand anybody else.
To add to the interest of the occa-
sion, there was present at one of the
principals in the case at issue, little
Japanese woman from the Okinawa or
Riukiu islands, who had had her mar
riage certificate tattooed on her
knuekles and who was clothed in full
Chinese costume, with her hair done
up in Chinese style, and with Chinese
bracelets on her wrists Her partner
in trouble was Chinese with a tousled
mop of hair, while the complaining
witness was the woman s husband,
native of the group of islands from
which she comes. His conversation
sounded like cross between a dog
fight and an automobile on the verge
of going dead.
There is nobody in town who can
talk both English and the lingo of the
Riukiu islands, so it was necessary to
use double Interpretation to get at the
facts of the case. United States Dis

sioner Spencer propounded their ques-
tions in English to George Yamada,
the japanese interpreter. Yamada
passed them on in Japanese to Genjo
TARA, who can talk both Japanese and
Okinawa but not English. Genjo Tara
in his turn translated into the language
of the Okinawa islands. Then the re-
plies of the woman and of her hus-
band, Kobashieha, had to filter back
through the same channels. On top of
all this, it was necessary to have a
Chinese interpreter for All Sin or Chin
Fat, the man in the case.
The story as finally collected differs
not SO greatly from others that are told
in Mr.. Breckons office, but it has a
few features that are peculiar. It
seems that the woman, Ushi Kobashi-
cha, married Kobashicha In the Oki-
nawa or Riukiu islands in 1907, and
the pair then carae TO Honolulu. The
following May, however, the woman
deserted her husband and took up with
a Chinese named IA Sin or Chin Fat
his real name is still unknown. Chin
Eat, or All Sin, or whatever his name
really is, supported the woman in Ho-
nolulu, giving her, he claims, separate
establishment until they got the Rever-
end FL. III. Parker TO marry them.
The woman, as stated above, had
her marriage certificate tattooed on her
knuekles, according to the peculiar Gus
tom of the Okinawa islands. That
made things somewhat difficult, but she
solved the problem by burning the
marks out with acid-which probably,

according to her lights, constituted
divorce. Then she dressed herself IN
Chinese bridal costume, did her hair up
on the back of her head with brass
ornaments, adopted the name OF U.
Sang, and under that name married An
Sin or Chin Fat.
I'D to last Saturday, the real husband
was unable to find her, but he finally
located the pair at Waipahu. sunday
he went there again with some OF has
friends and made demand upon the
Chinese to give him back his wife.
But the Pake fred him out OF the
house, claiming the woman as his own
wife. So Kobashicha told his troubles
to the Federal authorities, with the
result that Deputy Marshal Ray Irwin
went to Waipahu and arrested the chi
nese and his supposed wife and lodged
them in Jail. But he did not succeed
in doing it without some trouble, for
the woman showed fight, making a
